00:00What was your risky food choice?
00:051-855-954-6969.
00:07Toll free.
00:081-855-954-6969.
00:10Charles is with us in Tampa.
00:11Charles, what was it for you?
00:13Hi.
00:14I had a friend of mine who had taken a trip to Switzerland,
00:18and they had brought back a can of pickled herring that's called sir strumming.
00:23Okay.
00:24And this is herring that has been fermented under the ground for several months,
00:29before they put it in the can.
00:31Oh, yeah.
00:32I threw up for five days solid after eating this.
00:35After eating the pickled herring.
00:37Yeah.
00:38That sounds unbelievably repulsive.
00:41Obviously, there's people in other parts of the world that love stuff like that.
00:44I know.
00:44But I don't get any canned fish-like products.
00:49It makes you not want to travel all the time.
00:52Oh, my God.
00:53Yes.
00:53It's not pickled herring.
00:55No, I know.
00:56But you filled the fishes.
00:56Listen, you're a little.
00:58Is it pickled?
00:59No, it's jelly.
01:00It's like a gelatin fish.
01:02No, it's not pickled.
01:03Jelly fish?
01:05No, isn't it like a fish meatloaf?
01:07I don't know how else to describe it.
01:08That's terrible.
01:09That's the worst thing you've ever said.
01:10That's a bad description.
01:11It's white fish with some horseradish on it.
01:14Never got sick from the gefilte, though.
01:16No, listen, this doesn't give it justice.
01:19I know it doesn't, but I just wondered if people were actually making fish meatloaf,
01:22and yes, it's similar to that, but if you go to a jar of Manischewitz gefilte fish, then
01:29you'll see exactly what it is.
01:31You good luck spelling all that.
01:36Manischewitz.
01:36It's so nasty.
01:38I'm watching, so there it is.
01:40What's that?
01:40In a liquid.
01:40It's got its own liquid.
01:41That's the gefilte fish, yeah.
01:42No, Jason, no!
01:44And Jason ate that down like a champ.
01:47Are you supposed to eat it like room temperature?
01:50It was room temperature, wasn't it, when you guys ate it?
01:53Just right and cracked it.
01:54Do they have it cold, usually?
01:56Yeah, I usually take it out and put it in the fridge for a while, then it's cold.
01:59Yeah.
02:00James is a psychopath and just ate it from the jar off the shelf.
02:04Yeah, he did.
02:05You're going to want to cool that down.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Do you, though?
02:09I don't know.
02:10Is it better warm or cold?
02:11I don't know.
02:11Would it be better hot?
02:13Oh, God.
02:14I don't think hot.
02:14No, I never had it hot.
02:16I had it cold.
02:17Who eats cold fish?
02:18I mean, sometimes you've got to scrape the jelly off.
02:22Oh, F you, F you!
02:24There was a lot of them scraping this yellowish.
02:28With the white horseradish?
02:30Yeah.
02:30Like, it adds a spice?
02:31I'll bring in a jar and you guys can try some.
02:34No, no, no.
02:34No, no, no.
02:34How about that, right?
02:36No, it's not allowed in here.
02:37Just give me the figure.
02:37There's a band.
02:39Is that it right there?
02:40Was it because it looked like the white and blue label?
02:42I couldn't.
02:43No, I couldn't do it.
02:44I have, like, one.
02:46You know, it's like the appetizer for a family dinner or something, but James tried to eat
02:50the whole jar.
02:51Yeah.
02:52That, to me, is like the appetizer before you have dinner with Satan.
02:55Yeah.
02:56That's what they'd serve.
02:57It's welcome.
02:59Jason, do you have smoked fish ever?
03:01Yeah.
03:02Like, smoked, you know, like a spread?
03:03Yeah.
03:04Yeah, that's better.
03:05Yeah, it's, for some reason, it's part of the Jewish holidays.
03:10This is, like, one of those things.
03:11Wow.
03:12Someone said, Lisa said, uh-uh, no, you keep that out of here.
03:17You keep that out of here!
03:18Yeah.
03:19Uh-uh, no.
03:20Not allowed, no.
03:21No, that's a hard no from all of us.
03:22Okay, I'll keep it.
03:23Never bring it here.
03:24In my office.
03:25The riskiest thing.
03:26No, no, no, no.
03:27Oh, wait, yeah, you didn't share that with Al.
03:29So that is probably not great with him.
03:33John's in Clearwater.
03:34What was it for you, John?
03:36Hey, good morning, guys.
03:37Love the show.
03:38First time caller.
03:39Thanks, man.
03:39Thanks, man.
03:39Um, I feel like I should say penis.
03:42You should.
03:42Absolutely.
03:43Penis to you.
03:44Hey, mine, this got me twice.
03:46Food almost killed me.
03:47First time was in France, the early 90s.
03:49Uh, we stopped at an auberge.
03:51It's a place where they have local food.
03:53And I ended up contracting salmonella.
03:56And they're saying it was from a mushroom sauce.
03:59And as we headed to our trip to the south of France, once we got there,
04:02I spent nine days laying there with my eyes closed.
04:06Three of those days, I was blind.
04:08Oh, my God.
04:10I was completely, not, not 100% blind, but just totally gray.
04:15And you couldn't see anything.
04:17And it couldn't open my eyes.
04:18It was horrible.
04:19I got over it.
04:20So, jump ahead to about 1998 here in Clearwater.
04:24I'm driving home, and something feels really bad in my intestines.
04:28Make a long story real short.
04:30Ends up being diverticulitis, which I had never heard of.
04:33And the doctor said that when they went in, first of all, I went into a coma.
04:37I passed out.
04:38And the doctor said if it would have been another hour, I might have died.
04:42Oh, my God.
04:43Anyway, I ended up taking four feet of my intestine out and living on a colostomy bag.
04:50And they put me back together, but I haven't been the same ever since.
04:53And I'm really careful what I eat.
04:55Oh, my God.
04:56Yeah.
04:56I would have saltines.
04:58Oh, that's it.
04:59Yeah, bread.
05:00Saltines.
05:01Sounded pretty upbeat.
05:02I know.
05:03He was like, hey, guys, first time caller.
05:05Can I say penis?
05:06Yes, I've been blind.
05:07I've lost most of my insides.
05:08I had to have some of my intestine removed.
05:11Colostomy bag.
05:12Rocking it.
05:13I learned to eat a little better.
05:15But so upbeat.
05:16Good for him.
05:18Man, life's been tough.
05:19He was blind on vacation.
05:21He's lost a lot of what was inside of him.
05:23I can imagine eating a salad and being like, oh, God, no.
05:27Why did I eat a salad?
05:28Oh, I can't see.
05:30What's wrong?
05:30I can't see a thing.
05:31The salad made him blind.
05:33Salad was to taint it or something.
05:36I don't understand.
05:37Someone said I had a whole blooming onion for lunch and then later had a sack of
05:4310 from White Castle.
05:44Well, he's just tempting fate.
05:47What are you doing?
05:47Some kind of animal.
05:48Get out of here.
05:48That doesn't count.
05:50I mean, I understand that he almost died.
05:52We all understand that.
05:53You did that to yourself.
05:54It's like suicide.
05:55It's almost.
05:57It's like the way to go out.
05:58Yeah, blooming onion from the Outback Steakhouse or whatever is the, that's like what we talked
06:04about.
06:04It's like got more calories in it than any other food on the planet.
06:07Exactly.
06:0820,000 calories or something.
06:09You need some sliders in there, too.
06:11Oh, God.
06:12No wonder you paid for that for days.
06:14Come on now.
06:15Basically, everything would just slide right through you with all that grease.
06:18Oh, man.
06:18Yeah.
06:19Jason in Tampa, what was it for you, Jason?
06:23How's she going, eh?
06:24Oh, how's she going, eh?
06:25Hey, when I was deployed overseas, I was in India and Goa for a couple days, and I ended
06:30up going to some restaurant for some curry.
06:34So I had some homemade Indian curry, and I ended up pooping for like seven days straight
06:39when I was back on the ship, pooping blood.
06:41You're describing the first year of my life married to Amber right there.
06:45I literally pooped my way through that year.
06:48Yep.
06:48When you're not, when your stomach is not used to Indian food and the spice, the heat.
06:55That's a rough one.
06:55And just the different meats and different way of preparing.
07:00And a lot of them, my family thankfully doesn't, but a lot of like street food especially is
07:03so greasy.
07:05Oh.
07:05Like they don't care, like, because to them, the more fat, the more flavor.
07:09Yeah.
07:09Right?
07:10And, oh, but it can destroy you.
07:13Oh, I'm sure.
07:14I'm sure.
07:15I'm sure.
07:18Well, that's solo.
07:20I'm sure.
07:20I'm sure.
07:22I'm sure.
07:24You're welcome.
07:43Bye.
07:46Bye.
07:47Bye.
