00:00You've been in a sickness, uh, fog and haze over the last few days, apparently.
00:05Yeah, it still persists. I have a lot of discomfort in the abdomen area.
00:10It is.
00:11You're out of the four, right? It gets all inflamed or something, huh?
00:14Yeah, I have a distended stomach. I mean, the best way I can describe it is on Monday and Tuesday,
00:20it felt like little knives stabbing me in the stomach.
00:22Ugh.
00:24Um, it feels like if you could put a pin into my stomach, air would just release, but it's not
00:29released.
00:30So a lot of, uh, acid reflux burping.
00:33My stomach was bothering me this morning too. I was like, when I was driving in, but I have it
00:39all the time.
00:40So they've said it's, it's actually called distended stomach. That's like the diagnosis.
00:44No, I didn't, I didn't go to see a doctor.
00:46No, but like in years past, I just know what a distended stomach is.
00:50It's when your stomach's sticking out all the way.
00:53Right. But that's like what, something's going on. Something's inflamed.
00:57Just, uh, yeah.
00:59His stomach is flaming.
01:01Is it from something that you ate?
01:03I think probably. I had a couple sodas.
01:05I mean, it's going to sound stupid, but I know that certain things that I can't have.
01:08I can't have too much soda. I can't have too much chocolate.
01:10Can't have too much like orange juice, acidic stuff.
01:14Yeah.
01:15That's what I suspect, but I'm going to try and go to a GI doctor and get it figured out.
01:19Doesn't feel great. I don't feel great sitting here.
01:21Sorry. It says a distended stomach happens when your belly swells because of trapped gas, fluid, or structural pressure.
01:28Common everyday causes, overeating, eating large meals too quickly, swallowed air, drinking carbonated beverages.
01:35You said you did that.
01:36Um, consuming high fiber foods, dairy, uh, foods you are sensitive to.
01:42So if you're lactose intolerant or something that could trigger it, um, they've been able to poop.
01:49Yep.
01:50Really?
01:51Oh, well, that's good.
01:52Didn't eat on Monday.
01:54I ate one banana and I had a piece of toast.
01:57You ate one, you ate two things.
01:59Oh, good.
01:59One of them you chose to be a banana.
02:01Yeah, because I was trying to kind of settle the stomach somehow.
02:04You know?
02:05Okay.
02:05And then yesterday I ate, didn't feel like I needed to, but I, I mean, I, I didn't have hunger.
02:12I felt like I needed to.
02:13Yeah.
02:14So it was more out of obligation, not out of hunger.
02:18So it's not a great feeling, but, um, you know, it was coming off a high, great weekend.
02:24Went out to MGM national Harbor on Saturday night.
02:27Yeah.
02:28Had a great meal at Voltaggio.
02:30Maybe I did overeat.
02:31Maybe I had an amazing New York strip.
02:34Was it super rich?
02:34I mean, I did have a super rich chocolate cake afterwards.
02:37Just the chocolate cake?
02:38And I had two IPAs.
02:39I know that when I've had super rich meals at really nice places where it's like really rich,
02:44it will, it'll mess with my stomach.
02:45But I didn't feel it on Sunday.
02:47Yeah.
02:47But maybe it contributed and hung over.
02:50And then I actually won money at MGM national Harbor.
02:52So I was feeling that high.
02:54What from blackjack?
02:55Then I played craps.
02:56Okay.
02:57Played craps on Sunday morning.
02:59Very good.
03:00I mean, for me, it was a big score.
03:01$115.
03:02Yeah.
03:02It's a big day for me.
03:03Better than, better than losing money.
03:05Yeah.
03:05So I won $115 feeling good.
03:07Then Cakes and I were at Honor Brewing, wore the leather pants, a game didn't end the
03:14way you wanted it to end.
03:15Did you overeat at Honor Brewing?
03:17Were you just like pounding, like.
03:19Not really.
03:20Wings or things like that.
03:21We had pork nachos.
03:23I had pork nachos.
03:24Now there were jalapenos in there.
03:26You had a lot of food that could have upset your system.
03:30I mean, the rich.
03:31I think your delicate balance is all out of whack.
03:33The cake, the IPAs, the nachos, a lot of cheese.
03:38I mean, it just might be doing a number on your system.
03:40I don't know.
03:41I will tell you this.
03:42It's not a feeling that I would want any of you guys to have.
03:45You need to cleanse yourself.
03:46I was in bed until 1 p.m. on Monday.
03:49That's when I got out of bed.
03:50They say that I was out of bed for an hour, and then I just curled up in a ball
03:53again most
03:54of the day.
03:54There's an over-the-counter option you can try.
03:56It's called simethicone to break up gas bubbles.
03:59It might be worth just hitting a CVS and picking that up.
04:02I started taking Nexium.
04:05Nexium says it takes one to four days to kick in.
04:07Sip warm water.
04:09I'm guessing it's going to be four days.
04:10Peppermint tea or peppermint tea to relax your digestive muscles.
04:13You got a bunch of trapped gas in there.
04:15Yes.
04:16Like I said, it feels like if you put a needle in here, there would be a bunch of stuff
04:19that
04:20would come out.
04:20On the bright side, I'm down like three or four pounds.
04:24Yeah.
04:24Yeah, that's the way to lose it.
04:25Get sick.
04:26Yeah, get sick.
04:26It's always good.
04:28It's a good cheat code.
04:29It always hooks you up.
04:30Yeah, that sucks.
04:30But it's stomach.
04:31At first, I thought maybe it was food poisoning, but I didn't have to vomit.
04:34I didn't have diarrhea.
04:36None of those things.
04:37Yeah.
04:37It's kind of boring.
04:38You would think if you ripped a nice deuce daily, that would help.
04:41Yeah, but I was, believe me.
04:43That wasn't the issue.
04:44I had that happen a couple times.
04:46Yeah.
04:46Dude, if you get bad food poisoning, it's some of the worst that you'll ever feel in your life.
04:51Like the last time I was like really, really sick.
04:54Yeah.
04:54And this is like 10 years ago, a dozen years ago, maybe a little less.
04:59I literally felt like I was in the walking dead.
05:03I was like walking around my house.
05:05I didn't even feel like a human.
05:06Yeah.
05:06That's how I felt in Florida.
05:07I'd rather be dead.
05:08I'd rather be dead than 9-1-1 on me.
05:10Yeah.
05:10Right.
05:10Yeah.
05:10When you were e-zombie.
05:11The lobby.
05:12Yeah.
05:12But it wasn't, well, you know what?
05:13It could have been food poisoning.
05:15Remember, people were blaming the woods.
05:16We were blaming the woods.
05:17So maybe, maybe that could have been a trigger.
05:20It's possible.
05:21No, I have a weak constitution.
05:22Thank you to my parents.
05:23Both of them had reflux issues.
05:26Yeah.
05:26It's inherited.
05:27It's a family tradition.
05:28Yeah, it sucks.
05:29So were you just basically in bed for two days?
05:32Yep.
05:33Yeah.
05:34That sucks.
05:34Yesterday, I got up twice.
05:35I was worried about food poisoning somewhat yesterday.
05:38So I played golf.
05:39Beautiful day to play golf.
05:41Yesterday was great.
05:42Tripled 18.
05:42Wanted to jump in the pond and just drown.
05:45Get in my belly!
05:46I really wanted to just drown myself.
05:47I'm sure.
05:48But there is a pond there to do it.
05:51I went to get gas.
05:53Went to get gas.
05:54That'll make you want to throw up, too.
05:55Look at the prices.
05:57Didn't even look at it.
05:58Just, I gotta get gas.
05:59Gotta get gas.
06:00Got gas.
06:01Went inside and said, hadn't eaten all day.
06:03I had, oh, no, that's not true.
06:04That's a total lie.
06:06I got something to eat before.
06:08I can't remember what I got.
06:09I got something to eat at 11.
06:11As I was driving in, I heard you say that you'd had a Whopper with cheese.
06:14Yeah, it wasn't another Whopper.
06:14It wasn't another Whopper.
06:15I'd gone like, I'd OD'd on the Whoppers.
06:18I can't remember.
06:19That's a lot of Whoppers.
06:20Oh, you know what it is?
06:20I went to a Greek cafe.
06:22I got the, uh...
06:22Very good.
06:23I got the gyro.
06:24It's a fine station sponsor.
06:26So I had a year at 11, but it was 5 o'clock.
06:28Yeah.
06:28Basically, I hadn't eaten anything since 11.
06:30So I said, you know what?
06:32Just going to get a protein bar.
06:33Not going to do what I normally do and get Twinkies and all that stuff back in there.
06:36That was the old me.
06:37So I got a protein.
06:38I asked the guy.
06:38I could barely find him.
06:39You guys got any protein bars in there?
06:41He said, yeah, over there.
06:42I go down to the bottom.
06:43I get one of these.
06:44It's like a $4 protein bar, but whatever.
06:48I open it up.
06:49I start eating it.
06:50And I look at it.
06:51And the chocolate doesn't look normal.
06:54It's all flaky.
06:54It looks like it's a six-year-old protein bar.
06:57I can tell you, no one is going to the gas station and getting protein bars.
07:01No, no, no.
07:02Literally, no one.
07:02They're all getting the good stuff.
07:05Gummy bears, Doritos.
07:06They're getting all candy and chips.
07:08Pringles.
07:08Yeah.
07:09They're betting on the horses.
07:11You know?
07:11No one's buying protein bars.
07:13And I just ate it.
07:15I powered through and ate it.
07:16But I'm telling you, that thing was probably two years expired.
07:19Yeah.
07:20It just looked nasty.
07:24$4 down the drain.
07:25$3.79.
07:26Never get it back.
07:27Down the drain.
07:28So salty.
07:29So I did learn a lesson.
07:30Don't buy protein bars at gas station.
07:32No one else is doing it.
07:33Yeah.
07:34They've been there for a long time.
07:35They just sit there.
07:36I figure it's just all the preservatives in there just eating up the chocolate.
07:41Yeah, just keeping it alive.
07:42Barely keeping it alive.
07:43Keeping it shelf stable.
07:44Yeah.
07:44Protein bars look like they could last 20 years.
07:47I'm telling you, this was the nastiest one I've never seen.
07:49Like, the chocolate started to turn, like, almost, almost, like, gray.
07:54Yeah.
07:54It was gross.
07:56But I was worried about getting the old food poisoning.
08:00But so far, I hadn't kicked in.
08:02Good.
08:02So hopefully.
08:03You're all good.
08:03Hopefully, JP can get some relief today.
08:07And, at least by the weekend.
08:08By the time the skins take on the Cowboys, you'll be feeling better.
08:12Well, he also needs to be fully healed for his Bible giveaway tomorrow night.
08:16Oh, that's true.
08:16That's tomorrow night.
08:17Martin Luther King Library, 5 to 7, 901 G Street.
08:20Maybe during the reveal of it tomorrow, his tummy will just be bulging out.
08:26Maybe we should change it.
08:27It should just be you on a hospital bed.
08:29With an IV hooked up to him.
08:32Give him that liquid diet.
08:34Dude, I keep forgetting that.
08:35We got the bobble tomorrow.
08:36Yeah, the bobble.
08:37Tomorrow.
08:375 p.m.
08:39Down to her, D.C.
08:404.
08:40Right.
08:41901 G Street, D.C. Public Library.
08:43Because the next one's not that far after this one.
08:46Mid-October, right?
08:47Did they give us the dates?
08:49I have the dates.
08:50I think so.
08:50But did they give us the dates, or you just requested them?
08:52I requested them.
08:54They have given us the dates before.
08:56Yeah, they were given to us.
08:57They did, and I had forgotten them.
08:58That's why I had to request them again.
09:01Yes.
09:01Because I didn't know them.
09:02I'll ask you during the break what they are, because I'm not sure.
09:05If they gave them to us, I'd probably put them in my book.
09:07I will forward you the dates.
09:09They're all Thursdays.
09:11Yeah.
09:11But the first one is tomorrow at the D.C. Public Library.
09:15Oh, I got one.
09:15It's the MLK Library, 901 G Street.
09:18It'll be the only time that you can get the J.P. bobblehead.
09:21That's it.
09:22It's your one opportunity.
09:23And then it's on to the next junkie and on to the next bobble.
09:26Yep.
09:27Saw somebody yesterday who did yell at me.
09:30He's like, got the bobbles coming up.
09:32So I did get out yesterday.
09:34I had to take a – I still had to do carpool and all that crap.
09:37Yeah.
09:38First time I got in the car.
09:39Don't stop being a dad.
09:40The weather was money yesterday.
09:41It was a great day.
09:43I mean, I didn't really go outside and enjoy the weather.
09:45No, but it was a great day.
09:47I'm just letting you know.
09:48Go the triple on it.
09:49Today's going to be nice, too.
09:51A little bit warmer than yesterday, but it's going to be nice.
09:52Nice.
09:53Coming up on the show today, Barry's Verluga is going to join us.
09:55Columnist for The Athletic.
09:57We'll talk commanders, how big week two is for them.
10:00They must get a win.
10:02Paul Taboni, president of baseball operations for the Nationals,
10:05will join us at 9 o'clock.
10:06If you want to chime in throughout the show, you can always hit us up at 1-800-636-1067.
