00:00All right, so let me give you this crazy story.
00:02There's a former kicker for the New York Giants.
00:05I think his name is Young-Way Koo.
00:07That sounds right.
00:08I hope I say that correctly.
00:08That sounds right.
00:09Hates pronouncing people's names incorrectly.
00:12In any case, remember last year, Young-Way Koo was attempting a field goal,
00:17and the Giants, the last couple of years, have been a complete clown show
00:21with their field goal kickers.
00:22Feels like they had five or six last year, it feels like.
00:24So he went to kick the ball, and he stubbed his toe into the ground
00:30and didn't kick the ball.
00:32Right, then he had some weird excuse as to why.
00:34He became like the laughing stock in the NFL.
00:37So there's a guy watching that on TV, and the guy finds it so hilarious,
00:43he starts laughing.
00:44Okay.
00:45And his laughter grows and grows and grows,
00:47so he's laughing out of control at Young-Way Koo,
00:51stubbing his toe and not hitting the ball.
00:54That he winds up having a seizure.
00:57A seizure?
00:58A seizure.
00:59From laughing so aggressively, okay?
01:01Okay.
01:02Because he has the seizure, they call 911.
01:06All right.
01:07Ambulance comes to the crib.
01:08Ambulance takes him to the ER.
01:11Yeah.
01:11They do an MRI on his brain.
01:13They find a baseball-sized tumor on his brain.
01:18Oh, wow.
01:19All right?
01:20They rush him into surgery.
01:23They successfully get the tumor, and I believe it's non-cancerous,
01:28out of his head.
01:29Oh, look at that.
01:30Stitch him back up.
01:31The guy's going to be fine.
01:32Wow.
01:33Now, to thank Young-Way Koo for creating the hilarious moment that led him to laughing,
01:40which led him to having a seizure, which led doctors to discover a brain tumor,
01:46which eventually would have killed him,
01:48he just invited Young-Way Koo to this Saturday's Kentucky Derby.
01:53Oh, look at that.
01:54Yeah.
01:55Now, that's a great story.
01:56Now, I'm not sure his connection to horse racing or the Derby, that's irrelevant to the story,
01:59but he's going to the Derby, and he invited Young-Way Koo as his guest, all expenses paid.
02:08Now, wow.
02:10That's pretty good.
02:11Now, I think...
02:15So, Young-Way Koo has to celebrate his most embarrassing moment in the NFL,
02:20which then saved the man's life by going to the Derby with the guy
02:25and hearing the story and seeing the video over and over and over again.
02:32Now, that's got to be tough, because let's say it had been...
02:35There's a roast with Kevin Hart coming up, like, in a week and a half.
02:38Yes, on Netflix, right?
02:39Yeah, let's say he was watching that and was laughing, and the same thing happened.
02:42Yeah.
02:42Like, Kevin Hart would probably feel good.
02:45Like, my jokes were so funny, this guy was laughing, boom.
02:49Yes.
02:50In a way, he has to go, because you have to go.
02:54How do you not go?
02:55But you have to...
02:56Like, you've got to laugh at yourself.
02:57But...
02:58We've all seen the video.
02:59The problem is kickers take themselves extremely seriously.
03:02I don't think it's in the league right now, is it?
03:04No.
03:04These guys are always just one bad kick away from...
03:08Yeah.
03:08Because they're not athletes.
03:09Well, I'm with you.
03:09Like, you saved...
03:11You didn't know you did it.
03:12Right.
03:13You saved the guy's life.
03:14So you have to go, but you do have to remember that this is the reason you're unemployed.
03:19Yes, that's right.
03:20That's also...
03:21So it's like a...
03:21So it's really like, yes, I saved your life unwittingly, but through the worst moment of my life...
03:27Right.
03:27Now I have to get a real job after this.
03:29So do I celebrate my worst moment because it saved your life, or do I say, I'm glad you're
03:36alive, enjoy the derby, I want no part of it?
03:40See, this is...
03:41I think you go.
03:42I think you embrace it.
03:43I think because he's not an athlete and he's a kicker, he should go.
03:47If it was somebody missing three free throws, like, they get fouled on the three, the team's
03:51down one, you miss all three, and you lose...
03:54Down by one.
03:55Right.
03:55You got three shots.
03:56Oh.
03:57Clang, clang, clang.
03:58And the guy laughs and that same thing happens.
04:00You're an athlete.
04:01You can't take pride in it.
04:02That'd be a tough spot.
04:03But if it's a kicker, because we don't have to respect them, I think he should go.
04:07That'd be...
04:07I think he should go, too.
04:08I think it's a great story.
04:09I'm glad the guy shared it.
