Manifesting the Dark
It's been so long. It has been so long. Oh my gosh. Downstairs.
Tyler:I'm in the basement. I'm breaking the rules. Yeah.
Danny:What is it? Just for all intents and purposes, we're yeah, we the last time we recorded, we were upstairs because you had just got home. Yep. And then I guess I didn't realize the the length and the what what exactly you were going through or what what was gonna happen because from what I at first, what I thought was, does that need to be plugged in?
Tyler:It should it's it's better if it does. It is.
Danny:I'm not sure if it's gonna go out.
Tyler:It's for so long we, like, dropped a few ranks.
Danny:Yeah. I know.
Tyler:It's been so long.
Danny:It has been a long time. But for for what I gathered when we first started talking was that you would be in the hospital once a week, every fourth week.
Tyler:Oh, yeah.
Danny:But that's not what it would that's what now it is. It actually is a little bit more intense than what I thought.
Tyler:Yeah. So, yeah, basically, what happens now, I'm in consolidation. I'm in remission. Right? The cancer's gone.
Tyler:K. They're just, you know, make doing these what they they call consolidation treatments to make sure that it's gone. Okay. And so it's four weeks on, four weeks off. K.
Tyler:So I'm just about Friday, I'll be this is the end of my third week of consolidation. So I take I you know, so I have to go in and I get the arsenic. It's a drip. It takes about two and a half hours. It takes longer than that because it's
Danny:Every day.
Tyler:Every day, Monday through Friday.
Danny:And then you have the weekends off.
Tyler:I have the weekends off.
Danny:And then and so today, you were telling me that you had been you were trying to get it into, like, a routine where you go at the same time every every every day.
Tyler:I've gotten that part of the treatment like good. It's like everything else, though. Now my life kind of revolves around
Danny:Sure.
Tyler:This this big appointment.
Danny:Sure. Being healthy. Yeah. And so so what ended up happening was is we had all these ideas that we were going to be able to, like, record on a consistent basis. We haven't recorded since that time.
Danny:Yeah. Because you got the first treatment, which was down in Salt Lake and you got good news. Your immune system was great. Yeah. Everything is good.
Danny:It's it's everything is good and you you hit this high. Yeah. And then you head to the academy, you're hanging out, you're like bullshitting with everybody. And then I called you the next day and you're like, dude, I think I'm gonna die. Yeah.
Danny:And I was like, what the fuck is going on, Tyler? And you're like, bro, something's wrong. And so that first round of arsenic from home Yeah. Was a learning experience. Right?
Tyler:It it's that that's kind of my next nervous checkpoint. Right? Because I was two weeks off. Right?
Danny:Sure.
Tyler:I was off arsenic and the atra for two weeks. My next break is, like, four weeks. Right? So I'm hoping that, like, it was just nausea. It was, like, the worst vomiting, like, couldn't keep anything down.
Danny:Headache.
Tyler:Headache, migraine, dehydration. Yeah. I mean, it was just evacuate everything.
Danny:And you and you had the doctors were yeah. Mean, the doctors are the doctors are monitoring that stuff while you're going through it in the hospital. So you did not have anything to base this on. You were like, no, it's going to be great. And next thing you know,
Tyler:I wish. Yeah. My my inpatient experience is what I had. Right? Which is very controlled.
Tyler:They've got a cocktail for everything. I do have like a twenty four hour phone line I can call.
Danny:So you told me.
Tyler:And I did call Tuesday night, and I was like, I this is
Danny:Something's wrong.
Tyler:Something maybe it was Monday night because it I had never been that nauseous. That's what you said. I got home. Maybe it was the drive home. I don't know.
Tyler:I haven't been as nauseous since.
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:But I've also, like, built up, you know, so I don't know. It's it's it is for me, it's a little bit of, like, experimenting with what what am I gonna expect.
Danny:And it's constant learning Mhmm. And constant adjusting because for one, you your your regulation is off. Mhmm. Two, your your your lifestyle is off. Mhmm.
Danny:And three, it's you're still in the fight. Yeah. You're still in the fight a hundred miles an hour, and it's like, well, what what do you what can you do to take care of my body to keep my regulation going Yeah. And to keep me sane.
Tyler:Yeah. It's it's it's gotten pretty I'll I'll be honest. I've had some pretty dark just dark days just, like, in my house, treatment in my house. Like, I'm not doing things. I I got word that my ANC this Monday was, like, round five, which is, like, perfect.
Tyler:No. And that's pretty awesome going into week two. They took it Tuesday, and it had dropped to 3.7. So, you know, you want three is pretty good. Like, I feel good about ANC Stamford.
Danny:You know?
Tyler:I don't know. I I I I have to go back and read it. I I I wrote it
Danny:sort of medical terminology for your immune system.
Tyler:Yeah. It's the your free antibodies, you know
Danny:Of what your body's doing. Your body's taking care of itself. Yeah. But your mind is getting the best of you. Yes.
Danny:Right? Because it's mundane.
Tyler:A %.
Danny:It's 100% mundane.
Tyler:Oh, %.
Danny:Yeah. Because there's times when we're talking that I'm like, Tyler
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Get out of this. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, man. Like, remember where you're at.
Danny:But but, again, I'm not in the I mean, like, I'm not in the fight. Like, I'm I'm I'm on the sidelines cheering on my best friend.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Cheering him on like, hey, man. You're still going. You're still sprinting. You're fucking fine. And you're like, yeah.
Danny:Yeah. Leave me the fuck alone. Yeah. I'm not. But but but but that's the but that's the reality of it.
Danny:Yeah. Like, something like this hits you that hard and and you have no you have no baseline. No. There's no baseline. There's no there's no there's no chart to look at.
Danny:There's no there's nothing to, like, be people will be like, man, I hear you. I know what you're going through, and this is so great. And you have these friends that that maybe, like, know what you're going through, you know, like friends from the hospital and things that know what you're going through. But do they?
Tyler:Do they know what you're going through? Yeah. Yeah. And for me, it's even hard, right? Like, I see such a worse level going into these treatments.
Tyler:My mom accompanied me this Monday and there was a lady in there. It was just her first treatment. And I don't know what she's getting. Most of the cancer of excuse me, all of the cancers in my where I go are are blood based cancers.
Danny:Blood based cancer.
Tyler:So lots of, you know, bone marrow transplants or and things like that. But they they I mean, there's sick people in the the room, and it's just like a big room where everybody's given IVs. You know? Do you
Danny:see them? Are they are you, like, this close
Tyler:to Yeah. I mean, it's pretty it's pretty tight quarters. There's just like a little sheet curtain that they they pull around. The heck? You know?
Tyler:So you can, you know, you you you can hear them, you know, being really sick. And I'll try to get those people to a room. And it's it's pretty it's pretty interesting at the the clinic.
Danny:And does that weigh on your mind as well? Like, does that does that heavy as fuck?
Tyler:I mean, you just like you you yeah. You're just kinda like watching people's lives change. You know what I mean? Like
Danny:Yeah. And you know you know what it's you know what they're going through. You know? Yeah. You're in the fight.
Danny:You're in the moment.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:And and we've talked about this a hundred times, you know, like Yeah. Men are fixers. Men are like men are like, okay, I can fix this. I can fix this. And they're not menders.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:You you're not you're not pillows.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:We're not pillows. We're not built for we're not built for that. We're built for war. We're built fighting, you know? And and when you don't when you don't know if you're fighting or if it's like, and maybe today you just need to chill or relax.
Danny:You're not built for that.
Tyler:Yeah. It's it is it's tough because I don't I like I said, I've said all I've said a lot. I don't feel that like, there's been times where I've been incredibly sick. Right? A period of time.
Tyler:Right? Days. But I really like, today, yesterday, like, I've gotten into a rhythm since we've dialed in the the the medication. I'm like, I really now that we're now that we're kinda dialed, I feel pretty good going through treatment. I mean, this afternoon, I was a little little queasy when I got home, but you're right.
Tyler:Yeah. It it is I I just have this in this insane desire to, like, push myself, and I have to just I have to just keep kind of keep pulling the reins back in.
Danny:Yeah. You have to. Because you don't know what mean, what if you push yourself too hard and then Yeah. But, I mean, because, like, what would let's say let's say middle case, not bad, worst case scenario. Yeah.
Danny:But if you push yourself hard, you're back in the hospital. Yeah. Not for cancer.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Not for cancer, but because of some other sort of sickness that your body cannot fight. Right. And like you said before, that those when when those people are fighting cancer and fighting some sort of illness, it's not like your body has this Yeah. Ability to to to really fight Yeah. That hard.
Danny:So you do have to be able to pull the reins back. But then it's like like you said today Yeah. Still gotta push sometimes. Yeah. Know, we gotta see what the what is the top.
Tyler:Yeah. Well yeah. Yeah. And and I I think I'm coming through this with, a heavy as shit, like, let's this is to change some things moment in your life. Yeah.
Tyler:This is to change your things. Like, something big is going to change. What is it going to be?
Danny:What is it gonna be?
Tyler:And so because I've I've really been like, if you follow it at all, like the the APL, like my substack, I've been kind of writing about the concept of like manifesting. Right? And like, I don't know if we've talked about this, but like manifesting good. They always talk about manifesting good. All you got do is see it, visualize it.
Tyler:And I get it. That's great. That's awesome. They don't they very rarely talk about, like, manifesting the dark. Right?
Tyler:And I get it. It's shitty, it's generally subconscious. Right? Like, I don't I don't particularly love the term manifest anyway. Like, as somebody who has to, like, get my ass up and go to work and do shit.
Tyler:I do kind of believe, like, like, where you put your your mind, where you put your yeah. You know, where you put your energy. Right? So in a sense, like, it's it's manifest adjacent. Right?
Danny:Yeah. For sure. I I believe I agree to you. Like, I I do think, no, you just think Yeah. If you suck today, don't, like, tell people that.
Danny:I mean, like
Tyler:Yeah. Yeah. People ask
Danny:me all time, how are you? I'm like, a %. I'm amazing. Yeah. I'm amazing.
Danny:And we've talked about this where there's people are like, you're not fucking amazing. It's like, well, okay. Alright. Yeah. Yes, I am.
Danny:Yes, I am. Yes. Am I going through emotions? Yes. Am I am I struggling?
Danny:Yes. A %. Yeah. You know, are my struggles slightly different than Tyler's right now? Yes, for sure.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:I mean, but do we, as men, have the same struggles? Yes. Yeah. Because for one, you're always told, shut the fuck up. Go to work.
Danny:Yeah. Yeah. Just keep keep keep plugging away. Keep grinding.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Keep grinding. Just keep grinding. And it's like, okay. But to win. Yeah.
Danny:To what availed? Corey and I were talking about this the other day, you know, because you've heard us talk about our friend Corey Brian.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:He sold everything. Sold everything. Sold every he's got a he's got a couple of stakes in his in each business that he's built to multimillion dollar status. Right? And he sold everything.
Danny:He's rented out his house, and he bought a boat. And he told me his story. And he's like, you know, I'm I'm getting ready to go on to the ocean. And if he thought about every worst case scenario.
Tyler:Right.
Danny:Like, could you imagine?
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Like, worst case scenario is his he said his family dies and he lives. Yeah. Worst case scenario. Yeah, dude. Like, that would suck.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:You know? But is that why he should stop? Not shouldn't he shouldn't go and pursue his passion? Yeah. No.
Danny:Fuck no. He should go do it. Yeah. He should. He should.
Danny:And and every person is gonna every man, especially, is gonna be have a different take on what you're going through. Mhmm. But each man can be somewhat sympathetic. It's just that we're not taught to be sympathetic.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:You know? It's not like I can be a pillow for you. It's not like I
Tyler:can
Danny:can
Tyler:be a bed.
Danny:I know what you're going through because I have no I have nothing. Yeah. Can't I can't I can't even, even begin to fathom what what exactly you're going through.
Tyler:Oh, man.
Danny:Besides what you tell me.
Tyler:Yeah. The driest skin I've ever had in my entire life. The fact that, like, I I feel like one of those, you know, those, like, field mice or like the lab mice, they're kind of weird and pink and red. Like, that's exactly what I feel like. Like a lab rat that's like turning pink.
Tyler:My eyes are like, you know, always bloodshot and like, I'm always weeping and crying.
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:I'm like, oh, what?
Danny:But you're you don't have the you know, like, sometimes you see cancer patients or people, like, that are getting chemo, their skin turns a little gray
Tyler:and their
Danny:skin turns a little yellow. Yeah. Because, you know, their their body chemistry is being completely destroyed.
Tyler:Just destroyed.
Danny:I can tell you that you don't have that. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But I can I know what you're saying of like you have like these little different things that you have going on?
Danny:Like what you were saying the other day when you were like, I can feel when the arsenic goes in and you're like Yeah. Yeah. Poison. Yeah. Yeah.
Danny:It's literally poison.
Tyler:I'm I'm I'm feeling it in my gut right now really bad. Really?
Danny:Yeah. Are you able to eat?
Tyler:I'm I've got a pretty decent appetite most of the time. I don't like to think, like, chemo brain is real. Like, you're just remembering stuff. Like, always, like, forgetting stuff.
Danny:Like a little foggy?
Tyler:Yeah. Everything's, like, a little foggy. Really? Yeah. So lots of filler words I try to like, but I just kind of slow myself down.
Tyler:Be more present. Be more present. Loose on. Relax. Yeah.
Danny:Think about like, oh, don't go there, Tyler. Don't go there. And so now you go one more week next week, and then you have four weeks off. Four weeks off. And that four weeks off is the unknown as well, right, of what to do then.
Danny:Because what if you don't have this appointment to go to every day? Yeah. And are you what do you do then?
Tyler:Right. Yeah. I mean, I'm still working. I'm like the working sick a little bit. I don't want to like I don't want to burn my my company has been incredibly great to work with.
Danny:Okay.
Tyler:They're like working with me really well to work. But like, as a system in The United States, see like, our health care is pretty badass, but I can see how it gets out of hand real quick as I'm putting these bills together and the insurance company owns the hospital that, you know, that I'm at. And know what I mean? Like yeah. I've been blessed to get some some grants and things like that.
Tyler:And I'm like, wow, this is just I'm in I'm in some sort of, like, chemo study, like, where they're they're studying some of these things. So like, I see they've like, they've set up they've set this up. So, like, I'm seeing several doctors that are asking me the same questions
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:Because they're, like, checking things and it's pretty it's it feels very much machine like. Really? And you're absolutely right. Like, I come home and I'm, I feel alright, but I don't feel alright. Sure.
Tyler:Whether I'm emotionally exhausted, mentally exhausted, you know, physically exhausted, my motivation to, like, I really want to be back in the gym. I really wanna be back either in the academy or working out. Whatever the whatever my weekend ANC can handle, like, that's what I want to be doing, you know, hiking. We've had we've been teased with such good weather.
Danny:Then this week was horrible. Yeah. With snow this Snowed. Yeah. I was so pissed on Monday.
Danny:Yeah. I was driving into work, I was like, what the fuck?
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:It's snowing.
Tyler:It's snowing.
Danny:It's snowing. And not only is it snowing, everybody forgot how to drive. Oh, yeah. And all the Californians and all the Texans, those jerks Yeah. Go up in Utah because they thought the snow was gone.
Danny:And Yeah. Here they are trying to drive in the snow and I was so mad. Yeah. Yeah. So mad.
Danny:And the so you your doctor at Salt Lake, do you see her?
Tyler:Yep. On Mondays, I go to Salt Lake. Oh. So I'll spend I'll spend a good chunk of extra time. It's probably an hour longer to have my appointment on Mondays.
Tyler:That's when I see all the oncologists, the nurses, the they do an EKG, which I think is all part of this, like,
Danny:Yeah. Just checking out. Just keeping track of your vital signs. Yeah. And then what about the doctor in Park City?
Danny:Is are they do you feel like they are as prepared and as awesome as Salt Lake as LDS?
Tyler:It's a very impressive hospital. Like, I'd want to work there. Yeah. It's a very impressive hospital. Like, the food is incredible.
Tyler:Like, I don't know why they aren't, like, marketing, like, chemo to, like, celebrities. Like, I'm in, like, a stately room
Danny:Really?
Tyler:That's, like, nice. It's it was nicer than my room my patient room
Danny:In LDS.
Tyler:In LDS. And granted, LDS is, a 15 years old.
Danny:Yeah. And
Tyler:Park City is, like, you know
Danny:Brand new.
Tyler:Brand new.
Danny:But They got an education hall. They got all kinds of shit over there. Yeah. That's it. That is an impressive
Tyler:They're trying to build so it's really just me and one nurse. They've pulled a nurse, a chemo rated nurse, and they're trying to actually build the infusion services at Park I'm guessing because they bill more, but I've just kind of put my head in the sand and decided I'm not gonna look at that shit. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just gonna get better, and when I get better, I'll have a heart attack.
Danny:Yeah. Don't say that, Tyler.
Tyler:Just kidding.
Danny:And but but when you go down to the to see your doctor down there Yeah. She's she's she's happy with what you're Yeah. With your progress. She's happy with Yeah. How things are going.
Danny:And they can't can and I guess, like, each person is different, so you don't know. She can't tell you exactly what to expect or what to do or how to do it. It's probably like, yeah, relax a little bit. Yeah. And and let and you'll learn.
Danny:You'll learn. Because you go four weeks off and then four weeks on and that's it? Or you got how many rounds of how many rounds of this four weeks on, four weeks off?
Tyler:So it's a total of four infusion rounds. So we've we were nearly finished with the the first. Okay. The second, you know, will be mid July.
Danny:Okay.
Tyler:June, July ish. And then, yeah, I guess I'll be done around Christmas time, I suppose.
Danny:And that's it. And then that'll be it. That'll be it. Then you're done. I'm done.
Danny:Then then you're able to and at that point, they consider you checked off. You no longer have cancer. You you you are 100% clean bill of health. Good go. Yeah.
Danny:Live your life however you want.
Tyler:I have to have a spinal tap on the third round because they want that's when I'll check to make sure that, you know, it's it's not higher up in the the blood system.
Danny:Oh my gosh.
Tyler:I'm not excited about
Danny:that. No. Those hurt,
Tyler:I don't know. I've heard they're not fun, but I'm I'm hoping that I won't be like, I don't want to be Drug
Danny:the fuck out of me.
Tyler:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Danny:Have your will. Yeah. Piddity b piddity me up. Yeah. Yeah.
Danny:Yeah. Give me a freak off.
Tyler:Yeah. I wanna I do not wanna be No. It's weird how, like, I didn't have problems with, like, blood. And, like, I'd go watch them do my, you know, blood because I'd give blood. Now I'm like, I get so anxious around it.
Danny:I bet.
Tyler:Every Monday when they they do they access my port, it's just like I start hyperventilating and I'm like, man. You
Danny:know, when I was a kid, it's funny you say that because when I was a kid, you know, when you get shots, I remember getting shots, but then I had I had, like and that probably was, like, allergy induced asthma when I was a kid. Like, they diagnosed me with asthma, but I never had, like, any symptoms except for if I was sick, allergies, or, like, I'd get anxious. Then I would, like, get this, like, panic attack, and I started having asthma and I wheezing. And I would have these really, really intense fevers with intense nightmares. And I remember some of these nightmares sometimes, like, I'll move a certain way and my tongue will start to feel like swollen and I'll I'll have a vision of one of the nightmares that I had when I was a kid, and it'll freak the fuck out.
Danny:It'll freak me out. Right. Like a flashback to the dream. Yeah. And it's like it's like weird.
Danny:But one of the things is like, like, my tongue will feel a little numb and it's like really weird. But I started to have to get a lot of shots. Like you were saying, I got a lot of shots. And I'm terrified of shots now. Like, terrified of them.
Danny:But when I remember, like, when I was a kid, I wasn't scared of them, but then all a sudden, I was getting them all the time. And like you're saying, was getting I'd get anxious and I'd get, like, these, like, panic attacks and I'd have these, like, I don't wanna get these shots anymore because I'd get them a lot. Yeah. And now when they draw blood, I'm, like, go in there and I'm like, oh, man, I don't like this at all. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, oh, I don't want to get this done.
Danny:I don't want to get this done. And I'm having anxiety and anxiety.
Tyler:It's like,
Danny:how did this even develop? But like you said, it's just like all of a sudden you it's anxiety. It's anxiousness. Right? And so I just kind of want to get this over with.
Danny:Yeah. And it's weird how your body starts to, as you say, manifest. But as you start to, like, develop these, like, weird
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Weird things. I think, like, that's like how ticks are developed. As you start to, like, it's a it's a it's a your body starts to, like, get anxious and all of a sudden you're having these tics, you know?
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Which, by the way, I don't know if you ever like it. I've been you know, when I'm on social media, that Bailey girl, that that girl that has the the tic. Is that
Tyler:what it's called?
Danny:The Tourette's? Tourette's? She is so damn funny.
Tyler:Yeah. Am Oh
Danny:my god. Goddamn. Yeah.
Tyler:There's a couple of them that that have really built impressive social media platforms around there.
Danny:She is so
Tyler:damn A lot of young guy in New Zealand that has a good one, and he's always like, let's cook. You know? And he'll shit everywhere
Danny:and Yeah.
Tyler:His it's like it's really kind of endearing to see him, like, work through and the effort he puts into his videos because I'm sure it's
Danny:Well, and it's like, do you like what we talk about? It's like the body's like, eventually, you just start to, like, accept what your body's going through and it it the human body starts to just, like, accept. Yeah. It starts to, like it starts to function. It starts to do these things.
Danny:And your body is your body is starting to learn to function the way it is. And and you're you're learning how to navigate these waters that you've never navigated.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Right? And in the reality of it is, it's like you've never been able to settle. You you the last two years, it's not like you've been able to settle and be like, I have this figured out. Yeah. I'm fucking good.
Tyler:Yeah. People that talk about yeah. People that talk about having their shit together, I'm like,
Danny:what the what do you fucking mean
Tyler:to have your shit together? Like, I kinda know where it all is.
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:It's in this general vicinity.
Danny:Yeah. Yeah. And then it's like, how in the world? What what what is I mean, like, let's say December comes around and you're like, what the fuck is my life gonna look like in December? What is my life gonna look like in December?
Danny:Truthfully? Yeah.
Tyler:Bro, I
Danny:might be retired. I have so much anxiety about that. Like, you know, people ask me all the time, like, today I had a meeting today and they're like, you have six months left. What do you want the last six months of your career Yeah. To look like at this job?
Danny:And I was like, I don't know. Because I don't know if it's gonna happen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Danny:Pearson offered me a job at the rink. Yeah. As soon as I'm done, he's like, I'll put you to work. Yeah. Oh, you'll have a job.
Danny:Yeah. You know, it's not it's not gonna be making much, but whatever. Dude, you you have the house. It's awesome. And and hang out with my friends, hang out with people.
Danny:And it's in Park City. I don't have to drive. I can I can sell my car, drive my bus everywhere? Yeah. You know?
Danny:And the reality of it is it can happen. They dangle these low hanging fruits fruits of, a bonus, a 20% bonus on top of my basic pay, which is a pretty good amount of money. But then I think, can I make that amount of money doing what I wanna do on this side of the mountain and not have to drive up and down parleys every day? Yeah. And then I start to get anxiety.
Danny:Yeah. And I get a little anxious and I'm like, man, holy shit. One of my best friends at from work, I worked with him. I trained him. We've worked together eighteen years.
Danny:He today was his last day in the facility. He he's moving to Seattle. And it was, like, surreal because all these guys, you know, that I work with and I'm thinking, gosh, could I not see them every day? Yeah. Because I've got some really good friends at
Tyler:work.
Danny:Some really good friends I
Tyler:I bet.
Danny:Yeah. And then I think, can I not see them every day? Yeah. Could I make it so that I don't see them every, maybe for all intents and purposes, never again? Yeah.
Danny:Because, you know, I mean, they're work friends. Yeah. Yeah. With them outside of work. Yeah.
Danny:You know what I'm saying?
Tyler:Work work friend. Yeah.
Danny:And that is mind boggling to me that that that that decision is gonna have to come pretty soon, you know, if if we're gonna be able to make it work or is it one of those things where I take a year off and see if it's working? And then if it's not, go back to work, you know? And it's it's it's again, it's one of those things where I'm you know, it's not like I have this playbook of what to do and how to do it. You know, I trust I trust that I'll make the right decision Yeah. For my family.
Danny:It's just Misty and I, you know? Yeah. Yeah. But I don't know. It's a it's a
Tyler:Did you get run for school board?
Danny:I know.

Tyler:It is. Yeah. I've never been.
Danny:Oh, really? I've never been. The mark is cool shit.
Tyler:Is it? Yeah.
Danny:It's cool. It's really cool. Deacon, our friend Deacon, he he worked out there. He worked out there and he did a couple of things, a couple of privates with me. Oh, yeah.
Danny:When we were trying to fix my back. So maybe this weekend, Saturday, maybe, Corey's going away party. You'll be heading down to Lehi Yeah. With us. Yeah.
Danny:Do you think you'll put your gi on?
Tyler:I want to.
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:I want to. If I if nothing else, it's just one roll with Corey.
Danny:Hang out.
Tyler:Yeah. Hang out.
Danny:Do you have your wait. When are they taking this thing off?
Tyler:They take well, they can take it out at any I could take it out right now if I wanted to.
Danny:Wait. What?
Tyler:Yeah. It's like an it's like a needle that they access. It's like it's like imagine, like, a button. It's got a long needle on it, and they push it in the port every Monday and they call it accessed. And then when they're done, they just pull it out and it's like
Danny:Will they take it out Friday?
Tyler:Yeah. Oh. I I can have them take it out today. You know what I mean? They can it's just like yeah, they just they just put this application in and out.
Tyler:In and out. I just figured I don't want to get poked less, so just leave it in all week. It doesn't bother me.
Danny:Yeah. I
Tyler:mean, it does bother me.
Danny:Sure. It all bothers me.
Tyler:It all bothers me, but
Danny:Some days more than others.
Tyler:Yeah. Yeah. Today, I was like, man, it like, totally kept me from doing something. So I was like, man, I wanna go I was gonna go sit in the sauna. And I was like, I can't sit in the sauna.
Tyler:I got this fucking weird plastic nipple. Oh my gosh. That's a good way to look at it.
Danny:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hopefully, you'll be able to to to I mean, I think put on a gi and see what happens. And, you know, it'll it'll at least it'll at least quiet those gremlins in your mind Yeah.
Danny:Of fuck this.
Tyler:Yeah. Yeah. I need it. I need something. I need community.
Tyler:I've been yeah. Yeah. I need other men. I need I need I need this. Yeah.
Tyler:You know, it's been, yeah, it's been a strange couple of of weeks. Man, I mean, you you've been gone. You've been in Vegas. You've been I know. In Vegas.
Tyler:There's lots of changes for you.
Danny:Lots of stuff is going on. We you know, in Vegas was so was such a good experience and such a bad experience. Yeah. It was so good and so bad at the same time. Yeah.
Danny:You know, you go out there so we so we usually go to the South Point
Tyler:Mhmm.
Danny:And everything's done there. You don't even have to leave the the spot. You're there. You're the wrestling is there. Everything is there.
Danny:Everything is literally there. Mhmm. And it got changed, and I didn't know why it got changed. I just thought maybe they got the the venue, found a cheaper spot to do it. But what I understood was is that teams had done some significant damage to the South Point.
Danny:There's so many rumors going around, but at some point I heard upwards of $300,000 worth of damage, which means some there's some shit that happened Yeah. That they did not like. Right? So when I found that out, we decided to stay because the the venue for the event was in North Salt Lake, which is not really like the place where you wanna have a bunch of kids being able to walk around. After it's all said and done, I wish we would have stayed closer to the venue because it was kind of a pain in the ass.
Danny:Yeah. So what we decided was to stay at the Flamingo because Caesars usually gives military members a really good veteran a rewards package. So they automatically make you a platinum reward member for Caesars if you're a veteran. So they got so, like, a couple of years ago, we got really cheap rooms, no resort fees, no parking fees, and it was really quite easy to get to a lot of places on on the strip because the flamingo's in a good spot. Yeah.
Danny:And their pool is insane. It's fucking awesome. Flamingo. It's really cool pool. And adults only side was
Tyler:Oh, yeah.
Danny:The best. It was one those really cool pools, and that's what Misty cares about. Right?
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:I don't really care. I mean, like, I'll be at the pool for maybe a couple hours, but whatever. That's what she wants. Right? Yeah.
Danny:So we get there. And not only does my rewards card not work, but they are not they're not going to cover the it doesn't cover shit. So we ended up having to pay the resort fee, had to pay the parking fee, go to MSC's in line. And she's like, did you know the pool's closed? And I was like, no.
Tyler:Oh, shit.
Danny:We walk out there and share shit. The pool's closed. Yeah. So what do they have? A little tiny kiddie pool, a little tiny pool, and they have chairs stacked on top of chairs on top of each other.
Danny:And it was like, oh, my god, my wife is going to kill me because that's yeah. I'm not going to be around her. And this is what she's supposed to do. She's supposed to sit at this pool all day. That's what her plan is.
Danny:Right?
Tyler:Mhmm.
Danny:Yeah. It was it was it was the wrestling was great. We had such a good time. Me and Tristan and my buddy and the kids, we only had we only ended up having one girl go because everybody else bailed at the last second. But, team, Utah did great.
Danny:Everybody was everybody had a good time there. One beer. What would you think? How much? How much do think one beer costs in Vegas?
Tyler:Oh, jeez. Oh, I mean, I think I heard Vegas is struggling, what, like $14? 14 dollars. 14 dollars? I was just thinking, like, stadium.
Danny:Bucket of beer? $96 for a six pack of beer. $96.
Tyler:That's insane.
Danny:So we went to a pool. We went to an adults only pool because Tristan turned 21, you know, and
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:So we wanted to go and hang out at the pool when we first got there, and we ended up going to a pool. It was really it was cool. Like, Misty was pissed at first, and then we kinda mellowed out. And it was like, I can't do this every day. Like, I can't spend this much money every day.
Danny:I mean, I make really good money, but as soon as I see it's like that money going out, it's like, oh my gosh, I could do so much fun stuff than this shit. Right? Yeah. And every dinner is like $200 for dinner. And that's just Misty and I eating, you know, and having one beer, one drink, you know.
Danny:And so you're eating one meal a day if you're lucky because you're like, I don't want to spend this much
Tyler:money. Yeah.
Danny:We we had purposely booked our plane ticket home to be able to sit by the pool, but there's no pool. So now we get up on the last day and we're like, fuck. We should should have just got an early flight and hauled ass home. Yeah. And, yeah, it was it was I I don't think we'll be doing that trip again, honestly.
Tyler:I have little, very little desire to go to Vegas. I hear it's, like, suffering right now, but
Danny:I have some cousins and friends that go all the time, and they love it.
Tyler:I mean, the shows are cool. I I I think that's the thing. I don't really gamble.
Danny:Me either.
Tyler:You know what I mean? So I don't I don't really I've never really done a strip club.
Danny:I heard Mandalay Bay is the pool. We should have stayed at the Mandalay Bay because the that pool is really cool.
Tyler:It's just a small little I think the man I if I remember, the Mandalay Bay is pretty good. That's where we usually stay.
Danny:Yeah. The Mandalay Bay was from what I gather, it's, like, a really cool pool.
Tyler:It's a lazy river.
Danny:It's got I think. Oh, maybe a wave pool?
Tyler:Maybe a wave pool.
Danny:Yeah. Somebody was telling me that, yeah, next time you go there, you stay at the Mandalay Bay, and they give they still get veteran discounts and stuff. I have, this thing called betticks, which means I get free tickets to a lot of shows out in Vegas. So we could have done that. But for you know, I was there for wrestling.
Danny:So, we were there almost from nine till nine every day watching wrestling, which was really cool. The wrestling was really good. You're it's an off Olympic cycle like I talk about. And so when off Olympic cycle lot of cycles happen, all of them big names are there wrestling, and that was kind of fun. Me and Tripp to coach in that environment was was really quite cool.
Tyler:That's cool.
Danny:Something you
Tyler:put on your resume for sure.
Danny:Yeah. And, you know, I don't know how much commitment and time I have to Park City Wrestling. They they there's some really cool stuff going on and we're trying to, you know, we're trying to get the kids to have fun and trying to get the athletic director to buy into what we're doing. We had a world team member actually train with us pretty much the whole year. Shout out Brian Cole.
Danny:He's on the he's on the world team for beach wrestling, which is a pretty brand new style of wrestling. Yeah. And he's in Mexico right now wrestling for team USA. And, he trained with my kids and taught them a bunch of cool stuff.
Tyler:He that's cool.
Danny:He he was part of the team and I was telling athletic director like, I mean, that's what you have brought to the table, right? It's like this coaching staff that cares. Plus, you're getting world team members coming into your room, into your facility, which means spotlight on Park City. Right? If he wears a Park City, anything, that's a spotlight to Park City, you know?
Danny:Yeah. And you want that. Yeah. So that was that's been a lot of our stuff going on. We have had a lot for the summer camp stuff coming up.
Danny:I found out yesterday that Trent will be doing the sup
Tyler:Yes. Sup
Danny:fest. Fest again on July 5. I'm hoping July 4, I'll be in the Park City parade with the bus Oh, cool. Driving up and down Main Street with the bus whenever they or whenever they do their their parade.
Tyler:Oh, that's cool.
Danny:And then on the SUP festival, I'm gonna park the bus down on the beach again, hang out there on the beach with with Park City. SUP. I always say it wrong.
Tyler:Sup, dude?
Danny:Yeah. Like, it's stand up. Yeah. But you know what? How you say it is is soup.
Danny:I say soup. And every time he every time he corrects me and giggles and is like, yeah, you're saying it completely wrong. Soup? Yeah. I say it's not soup.
Danny:It's sup.
Tyler:And sup. And so
Danny:I'm gonna do the race. I'm gonna do the races there Oh, nice. For them. Yeah. Gosh.
Danny:What else? Been going to the BNI, the business network in internationals on Thursdays. Yeah. It's fun. Seeing some familiar faces today, which was awesome.
Danny:Yeah. Walked in and familiar faces came in. And that's always fun to see, you know, people that you know and Yeah.
Tyler:There's two chapters here. Right?
Danny:So there's there's only one chapter. It's the Northern Utah chapter, but then it's Park City, which encompasses
Tyler:The surrounding area.
Danny:Most of Heber as well. Like, a lot of the people there are from Heber. I think they said they had, like, 68 members or 70 something members or something.
Tyler:Because if I remember right, they only take one profession of, like, every
Danny:There is multiple professions, but then you could be considered like like a guy will stand up and he'll say, I'm the carpet cleaning business of the group, and he's the only carpet cleaning. They're not gonna accept a bunch of more of his competition into the Yeah. Into the fold. There's a really cool it it's a really cool environment. It's it's a lot of networking.
Danny:It's a lot of, like, things that I think that, like, are good for me as a entrepreneur to learn Mhmm. How to market, how to network, how to have one on ones, how to get referrals, how to do Google reviews, how to do this shit. Right? Mhmm. So it's really cool because I'm sitting in there learning this because Crystal Joy gives me the opportunity to go for as a substitute for her.
Danny:And so it's it's been an interesting week. It's been an interesting couple of months of learning and growing and trying to figure out, like I said, what's the next what's the next thing? And Yeah. And then not not podcasting because for me, like, if I Misty was really, really sick and I was like Yeah. Well, what if tomorrow I mean, like, feel great right now, but what if I come over here podcast?
Danny:And then the next day, I'm like, dude, I am deathly ill and you're like Yeah. Well, thank you. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
Danny:And so that that's that's in itself. I seen remember I seen you the other day. Yeah. You were with Ben. Yeah.
Danny:Oh, yeah. Yeah. And had a mask on. Yeah. Was Ben sick?
Danny:Yeah. And so you I was in pneumonia. Was in pneumonia. No way.
Tyler:Yeah. He had a pneumonia and And
Danny:he was here. Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit.
Tyler:I mean, we didn't he he pretty much stayed to his room and, you know, I haven't I haven't I haven't shown any signs, but, yeah, he had pneumonia.
Danny:What the heck?
Tyler:Lower in his lower right lung.
Danny:Is he okay now?
Tyler:I think he's getting better. They gave him some stir like, guess, they not steroids, antibiotics.
Danny:Misty was sick. Like, She was super sick.
Tyler:It's the spike in the weather. Think it does to everybody. Yeah. I think it does excuse me, everybody. Yeah.
Danny:We we you know, I've been I've been doing my breathing for so long. Yeah. That if I start to get a little, like, tickle in my throat, I hurry up and go breathe. Yeah. And I go do my breathing, my breathing routine.
Danny:And I'm always like, is it is it a placebo thing? You know? Because then I'm like, I feel fine, you know? But I I don't know if it I I always if I start to feel a little tickle, I just hurry up and go do my breathing routine and do a bunch of, like, nasal breathing Oh, yeah. To clean out my system.
Danny:Oh, yeah. But I don't know if that's the case, you know.
Tyler:I mean, I don't know anymore, man. There's so much stuff. Plus, I'm in and out of the hospital, like
Danny:I know.
Tyler:Everybody's sick.
Danny:Yeah. Because you
Tyler:yeah. Everybody's sick.
Danny:Have you nothing else is new as far as, like, do you see do you see this as this impactful change in your life? Do you see yourself being like, I'm gonna make some drastic changes? Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna make some drastic changes.
Danny:Yeah. Do you know what those changes might look like? I mean,
Tyler:I I don't. I don't know what they're gonna look like. It's probably gonna be me seriously downsizing just just for six months to six to eight months. I think over the summer with the kids, it's the best time to do it. I don't know.
Tyler:I think my lease ends in December of this year. So I could see me me drastically downsizing.
Danny:After the lease is up here.
Tyler:After the lease is up here.
Danny:How how so this is insane that they're doing above your house. Yeah. I drove you know, when you come into Heber, that whole mountainside is Yeah. Competitive department.
Tyler:5,000 more homes that are going to The
Danny:inventory so, like, inventory, I was one of the guys was talking today, and he's like, the inventory is insane in Heber. The inventory is insane because, like, there's not a lot of inventory per se, but there is a lot of inventory. And there's this there's this like pause because everybody's waiting for all these things to be built up here. And then what's the next biggest thing that's going to happen to Heber, which is them making the Northfields its own little town. It's going to be its own town, not the Northfields with the you know, they they put that thing out there that said, get on board or else you don't get a choice in this anymore.
Danny:You're going to be the Riverview, I think is the name of town.
Tyler:Oh, wow.
Danny:Yeah. Which is just across the street from you.
Tyler:Yeah. So, like, all of that those fields, they're they're turning into a town,
Danny:They're turn into so what does that mean? I don't know.
Tyler:It means there it means that 40 is gonna be be a highway And all that all that money I think all that money invested in on 40 is is waste. It's a waste. Right? If they're if they're gonna push everything to another town center, this is this I mean, I don't know.
Danny:And and, you know, like, you know that the town is like, there's a lot of, like so there's a natural hot Mhmm. Flow Mhmm. Of of you know, there's natural hot water Yeah. Because of the Zermatt and the what is that? What is that?
Danny:Crater out there?
Tyler:The thermal springs that are out there. Yeah.
Danny:That is unsettled. So that what that means is there's a lot of unsettled ground. Oh, yeah. You know? Like, a lot of, like, air pockets, a lot of, like, pockets of stuff.
Danny:And there's Yeah. There's right by where they built that Smith, do you remember they have to put in all that dirt because there's, like, a hot I don't even know what it would be because there's some sort of thermal thing there.
Tyler:There is, like, really, the water table is really high here. Yeah. So we are at the we're we are still at the bottom of an an active lake. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Tyler:It doesn't make a lot of sense. Not to mention if the dam ever went, like, it was just wash
Danny:Yeah. Wash everything away.
Tyler:Wash out. I'm a little bit up the hill, but I think I'd be I think I'd have beach side property.
Danny:Yeah. What they're gonna do to this town is I don't know what they're gonna do to
Tyler:this town.
Danny:It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see what happens. And I think, like, in the next six months, our both of our our lives are gonna be, like, you know, a big change for you, especially with with your with your health and the way you approach things. And if I retire, what's that going to look like for me? And what does that look like? You know, what does that look like?
Danny:What does that what does Danny and Tyler look like in the next six months and how do we get to this this as long as we we stay in this realm that we've been living in, you know? Yeah. Helping men and helping, you know, living within our purpose, which is which is the goal. Right? If you're if you're living within your purpose, if you're if you're doing the things that you're doing, the work that's that you're put here to do, you'll feel great about yourself.
Tyler:Yeah.
Danny:Right? And it's those times when, like, if that's all you have, that's all you have. Cool. Yeah. You know?
Danny:Yeah. Stoked. Yeah. And and if and if things change, if the tides flow, then flow and ebb with the tides. Just ride them tides.
Danny:Ride them tides. Yeah.
Tyler:Cool.
Danny:Yeah.
Tyler:What else do you have going on? I mean, we've gabbed here for for a minute. Let's let me wrap this one up, and we'll try to get back on the schedule. What else is going on? You got summer camp coming up?
Danny:Camp coming up. Summer camp starting to really hit sponsorship and fight sponsorship and how we're gonna run that. We have the next that that will be the next biggest thing. Right. The next biggest thing will be to to really get that going and to really make sure that that's a good turnout.
Danny:There's the instructionals are going to be insane. Mike and I were talking about it last night and the instructors there coming this year are holy shit.
Tyler:It looks stacked.
Danny:Top notch guys. And, you know, the the Pedro Sour Association doesn't get the glamour of everything else, you know, because a lot of times it's the humble it's the humbleness of Pedro. You know, he's not like this guy that goes out there and, like, forces you to do to to know who he is. He just he he understands it's just jujitsu. You know, I was I made a post today about the fact that, like, you have all these people that are promoting all these, like, crazy influences and then people buy into it.
Danny:Yeah. But they promote jujitsu, and it's like, why isn't the jujitsu mats hacked? And I think it's because jujitsu is hard. Yeah. And you can't fake it.
Danny:You know, I can go I can take a video of me sitting in a in a cold plunge and, you know, it's cool, but it's maybe a minute or two.
Tyler:Yeah. Yeah.
Danny:Bro, I spend you you we spend two, two and a half hours at the Jiu Jitsu Academy Yeah. When we're there for training. Two two and a half hours. Yeah. And it's mentally taxing.
Danny:It's physically taxing. It's hard.
Tyler:And it's not cheap.
Danny:It's not cheap.
Tyler:Dude, I saw this so I've noticed a couple of things recently, but there's been a push by a a competitor here in town.
Danny:Bro, did you see how much he what it cost to go to them?
Tyler:$2.00 4?
Danny:I know. And that's not all the classes. That doesn't give you the full facility.
Tyler:That's crazy.
Danny:That just gives you a couple classes a a week. You know? And so, yeah, it's not cheap it's not cheap, but it's not but it's a lifestyle.
Tyler:Sure.
Danny:You know? And so me, myself, I'm gonna really, really, really push for people to, like, to come into the academy to try it out, to come see what it's about. And and the academy has two new classes, which is Tuesday and Friday, and they're fundamental classes. So it's the time when you're like, I don't man, like, there's so many times when you're like, I don't know to do here. I don't even know how to start this position.
Danny:And we talk about that. We discuss that. We work on just meaning maintaining positions and and simplicity of of the of the schedule or I'm sorry, of the instruction, you know? And so that's been fun. I've been teaching on Fridays.
Danny:That's been really fun. Cool. And then six day mean, I haven't worked in six day work weeks like crazy. But we're gonna go to Mexico again in August.
Tyler:That's pretty awesome.
Danny:We're going for eight days. Yeah. We're gonna go and hang out there. That's gonna be fun. What else?
Danny:Oh, Braxton got married. Yeah.
Tyler:Braxton got married.
Danny:Braxton got married.
Tyler:Dang.
Danny:Yeah. My oldest son got married. That yeah. I forgot about that. My my oldest son got married.
Tyler:Did you know this was coming?
Danny:You know, yes. Yes. I did. There's a lot of there's a lot of reasons why getting married benefits them too, you know. The military takes care of married people a lot better.
Tyler:They
Danny:were living far apart from each other, they needed to get to they needed to get together. But Fayetteville is a terrifying town. Lots of crime, lots of lots of bad shit that happens there. So they didn't wanna live off the post, but, you know, you get married and the military takes care of you. Mhmm.
Danny:Gives you insurance. It gives you all these great benefits for Sheena and Braxton and Braden. And so, you know, when we talked about it, it was like, this is a good it's a good thing. You know? Yeah.
Danny:Yeah. Braxton has this, you know, he wants to be a provider. He wants to be a taker caretaker, and he wants to take care of of a woman and he wants to take he he has that.
