00:00Question of the day.
00:01All right, what's something that you've done that might have been death-defying?
00:04Because it feels like Christian Walker taking 93 to the Dome
00:08and then playing the next day probably fits in this category.
00:12Yeah, man.
00:13I was so excited to see him doing an interview in the clubhouse after that.
00:17I didn't want to look at his face afterward.
00:19Well, he was holding his head.
00:21I know, but you never know what's underneath that hand.
00:23I know, I know.
00:24I was waiting to see blood dripping down his hand or something like that.
00:27But, yeah, that was crazy.
00:28For me, back in the day, we used to, I grew up in a cold-weather environment up in the
00:34Northeast,
00:35and we used to do something called skitching, which is we would grab onto the,
00:40we would snow outside, and there'd be snow on the ground,
00:43and the streets would not have been cleared or salted yet.
00:46We would get, we would have somebody drive a car,
00:50and the skitchers were the people who grabbed onto the bumper,
00:53and you're basically just using your feet as almost like water skis.
00:57And you're just, you're just, you're, you're, you do it when it's really snowy out.
01:02The issue was always, wasn't so much like losing grip of the bumper and falling on your face.
01:08It was potholes.
01:10If your foot hit a pothole, you would go flying.
01:14I'm afraid that you're going to catch your toe and like break your ankle.
01:17Something bad could happen for sure.
01:18And we're talking about cars that are on ice and snow and stuff.
01:21So, yeah, we used to do that on the regular.
01:22We love to skitch.
01:23Do y'all think that the youth of today have nearly as many of those?
01:27Because they're just on their phone, right?
01:29Yeah!
01:30They're just on Instagram or whatever.
01:31We, okay, can I add to this?
01:33What's the most death-defying thing I've ever done?
01:35Riding around as a kid without a seatbelt on.
01:38Yes.
01:38Because our parents didn't make us wear seatbelts.
01:40Well.
01:40Riding a bike with no helmet.
01:41No, but especially the, I mean, all the stuff we tried to jump our bikes over.
01:46Yes.
01:46Which, remember too, we were fueled by dreams of being the next Evel Knievel.
01:49Yes, yes.
01:50So, there was this kind of, we were, we put Evel Knievel up on this pedestal.
01:56And then we didn't have anything to distract us.
02:00Very few of us had video, like, I had one kid in my neighborhood who had video games.
02:04Oh.
02:04So, yeah, it was like, that was the biggest excitement we had, was just trying to jump
02:08stuff, including each other.
02:09Yes.
02:09While building our own ramps.
02:11Yeah.
02:11And it was like, one of the most, the scariest thing was just even whether the ramp was going
02:15to hold up for you to get off of it.
02:17Yes.
02:18I broke my arm once like that.
02:19It was just a plywood on a cinder block or something.
02:21Oh, yeah, yeah.
02:22I got hit by a car.
02:23I broke my arm once when the ramp collapsed.
02:25The what?
02:26I broke my arm once on my bicycle.
02:28I was jumping a ramp and the ramp collapsed.
02:29You were trying to Knievel it?
02:31Yeah, yeah.
02:31Oh, wow.
02:32Oh, you broke your arm?
02:33Yeah, I just put my wrist down.
02:34Oh.
02:36That story stinks because you didn't at least, you didn't get the jump.
02:39I didn't even get the jump.
02:40Yeah.
02:40Did you, did you, would you go running home?
02:42Like, did you, how old were you?
02:44Hell no, probably 13, 14.
02:46Oh, really?
02:46Yeah.
02:47Oh, okay.
02:47Mom, my arm hurts.
02:48Yeah.
02:49Oh, so you didn't even go get a cast for it or anything?
02:51I ultimately did.
02:52Okay.
02:53Okay, yeah, because that's the type of stuff.
02:54I lied as long as I could.
02:55Oh, man.
02:57Oh, that's wild.
02:58Yeah.
02:58Seth, did you just say you got hit by a car?
03:00Yeah, I got hit by a car.
03:02Yeah, I feel like we just walked past that.
03:03And I ended up, I'm not sure, I could never get a straight answer from my father about it
03:08because it was, I was visiting my dad for the summer in North Carolina and there were two
03:12death-defying parts about it.
03:13One, I got hit by a car.
03:15Two, was it the teenagers who hit me tried to convince my brother and my stepbrother not
03:21to go get help.
03:24He'll be fine.
03:25So they went, they got help, and I just, I blacked out, and I don't know to this day
03:30whether I was in a coma or what.
03:32All I just, I remember waking up in the hospital, but my dad decided he didn't have to tell my
03:37mom about this situation.
03:38Oh, my God.
03:39Why would she need to know?
03:39Oh, my God.
03:41Why would she need to, we'll keep this to ourselves three weeks later.
03:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:46You know, that hospital food really wasn't that good.
03:48Oh, wait, sorry.
03:50Oops.
03:53So that was the closest I ever came to actually being snuffed out, I think.
03:56Dang.
03:57Wow.
03:58Oh, man.
03:59Yeah.
03:59I'm glad it all worked out.
04:00I was in a car once that got shot at.
04:03What?
04:04Yeah.
04:04I was in a car once.
04:05Do we have time for this right now?
04:06That got shot at.
04:07What?
04:07When I was in high school.
04:08In high school?
04:09Yeah.
04:09Like sprayed with bullets?
04:11It was like two or three.
04:13What did you do?
04:13Wow.
04:14I feel like you contributed to this.
04:15I did nothing.
04:15I was in the back seat.
04:16There were five of us in the car, and the guy in the front seat in front of me started,
04:20had
04:20some eggs.
04:21Oh, no.
04:22And egged a car that was going in the same direction as us.
04:25I was like, okay, you're going to throw an egg.
04:26Throw it at a car going the other way.
04:27Yeah.
04:28And apparently that was the wrong car to egg.
04:30Oh, I guess so.
04:31That was the wrong car.
04:32Wow.
04:32So we ended up...
04:33That's scary, man.
04:34Like, if they had hit one of you, that's definitely...
04:36Like, getting hit with an egg is not justification for killing somebody.
04:39I would say so.
04:40Yeah.
04:40But it was just a bad group of dudes, and we ended up hiding behind a theater in an alley.
04:46Yeah.
04:46For about four or five hours.
04:47It's kind of a jerk move to throw eggs at moving cars.
04:49Just saying.
04:50But I don't think it deserves, you know, gas.
04:52You don't get baby-faced Nelson'd out of it.
04:55Right.
04:55Right.
04:56Exactly.
04:57Exactly.
