I do want to call a guy uh you know and I was thinking about this uh the other
day and
and um and a lot of uh listeners reached out
sorry I gotta relax a little getting kind of excited
uh my boy tricklong mickey and you know everybody knows mickey man he got those
new air sacs he got those o2 sip hitters you know them inner tits bro those wet
markets bro you know
what I'm talking about lungs those fucking rib cage wet markets and he got um
and he had a rare
disorder and he's been a part of this program for maybe a year and a half two
years now but I wanted
to check in with mickey and see how he's doing in this time and I think that
that could give us all a
little bit of insight into uh what some people's lives are like so gang let me
call him right now
hello mickey how are you doing man what's up man thank you for uh thanks for
answering the phone
man how are you man I've been doing good dude I've been doing good I've uh been
kind of on the road
actually from my house for the past three weeks and uh actually today was first
back home uh first back
day home because my mom was actually out my cruise about four weeks ago so I
had to I had to bed in
here and I tell it out before I if she had corona man oh your mother was on a
cruise ship yeah about
four weeks ago when this all happened and you know that was during like while
she was on the cruise ship
that's when it actually got registered as a national pandemic and I was like
all those ships were being
held up at port and so it was not a good time to be around when she got back
and she knew and understood
that so she she was okay with that you know wow man yeah I know we were texting
just the other day
about uh about jumping on the phone and um yeah I didn't know that so so when
she came home were you
able to just like easily spend time with her or how how uh how rare is this for
you because you know
just catching up some of our listeners uh you know you had a lung transplant so
do did your doctors
tell you like you have to be more careful like what is sort of the um the
suggestions that you get
yeah absolutely man um basically it's kind of weird like it's back then about
three four weeks ago it
was really conclusive it was just general boilerplate and it's like you know
always wear your mask we are
this mask that I was wearing you know be washing your hands try not to touch
your face you know don't
don't be in large large groups of people you know and in this case though is
kind of like you know if my
mom has it then I can't even live with her and so to be as diligent as possible
I basically have been
staying for these past three weeks like at airbnbs hotels yeah I saw on your
instagram there was a
picture or it might have been I think it was instagram yeah there was a picture
of you like
or a video is you just getting to a place or leaving a place um so you just
been on the run
because you had to stay away from your mom just in case she was exposed yeah
that's right man and
I know that a lot of people would think like man you know why don't you go kick
a friend or something
and what's really interesting about that this is nothing against my friends but
I think you can
understand this feel with your sister it's like a lot of people in general are
just not very health
conscious and that's not their fault but if I live with anybody it means that
they then inherently
have to take on my same living habits you know for them it might be okay that
they go
to the grocery store but for me it's not right now wow yeah that it is really
wild um yeah so it's
like you have to live with somebody or everyone really does like has to live
with somebody who
their behaviors are gonna are exactly what your behaviors are or at least are
behaviors that you
are comfortable with I think so yeah and being I think that elderly especially
and I mean definitely
immunosuppressed and for sure with a lung issue it's just the fact that man
like I haven't there
were there were days when I was in these b&bs and I didn't even see a person
you know I would just I
go walk in a park or something but I didn't I wouldn't even see people just
extreme isolation
and you're a real social guy man I mean that do you feel like that was kind of
bumming you out socially
like outside of like um you know like uh you know having to be probably a more
health conscious than
the rest of us just you know because of your immune system were you were you
feeling like a social
depression at all oh absolutely man yeah I mean yesterday or yeah yeah it was
yesterday when I got back
to my house and I was driving and literally listened to my own music the sun
was out and I was already
getting just feeling so good man just to even be out yeah out of the house and
stuff so um absolutely
it but you know what it gives me I don't mean to be cliche but it really gives
me a lot of perspective
again where I'm like man I I get to go back home and I was just really excited
about that and
you know the amount of perspective that I feel like it gives and I think it
gives all of us
after this is all done you know I think that we will at least for a time the
first few times first
couple weeks yeah we'll be like man we've made it through and now I get to be
with my friends and
you know it sounds weird but it's like I get to work oh yeah like something
that people don't want
to do typically or you know we got to break you know we got to make money to
get bread and everything
but you know now it's going to be like I actually get to be able to do that
because there's just so
many people out there that's really that are really suffering yeah man that's
man that's a great point
dude yeah a lot of people it's like I think yeah I think it if if we look at it
the right way then
it's really a great opportunity to say man I get to do these things I get to
see my mom you know I get
to uh you know go fishing with my friend I get to go to work today you know I
get to go and even if
my job isn't my favorite job like I get to go do it yeah oh absolutely man and
you know I have I have
a friend who uh he was in Disneyland when this all happened right and he got it
got canceled and
you know he posted on a gay guy or not a lot because I'm just saying I got all
my gay friends
no joke dude they fucking all been talking about Disneyland it's all they it's
like constantly I'm
like dude y'all need to fucking chill bro that's hilarious man but yeah so he
was over there and you
know and I saw him make this Facebook post where he was like man if it's
another gonna be another two
two months of this or something so I'm gonna drive you're driven crazy and I
just told him I was
like man you know just try to think for a second like boredom is at the least
of your concerns right
now if you really think about it again like have some perspective man it's you
were in Disneyland bro
like that's as good as it gets you know like you sure you're crazy what are you
talking about
but you and you said that over text yesterday you're like dude imagine if you
you've been on a
transplant list for years or months or whatever and you're finally at the
opportunity and then this
happens and it's secondary to to to to the national crisis that's god it's so
it would seem so abysmal
right and at the same time again it's just to I don't want to sound cliche as
always but man you I
call my dad every day you know my dad's elderly he's he's 80 you know I'm like
I just hoping hoping
things don't take him I call him every day I try to try to call my loved ones
and tell him I love him
man I got a friend right now he went into the ER he lives in Detroit you met
him briefly my best friend
Sammy oh yeah I met him when you guys at the comedy club yeah yeah that's right
man and so
anyways he uh you know he went in for a cast can today they think that he might
have mild COVID it's
like this is hitting a lot of people man you just gotta tell him you love him
yeah yeah man well you've
always been really like a kind of like a perspective gadget bro if you were
like a cartoon character I
think it would be perspective gadget dude Mickey man thanks so much for being
supportive and
everything and we got to get you in here next time you're in town and uh and
sit and chat and
and uh again man thank you so much dude and be safe and and let's stay in touch
I'd love that tea all right man much love dude all right gang bro all right
wow interesting you know he had because he Mickey had cystic fibrosis in his
lungs
and that's when you have just bad lungs and this you know really you don't even
you know his lungs
if you look back at some of our old episodes and stuff he really had a tough go
of it but he
you know he was on the transplant list and he got them bags and and he really
got tightened up and
so uh you know he really is a beacon of of perspective um because he's been at
