Bertcast # 480 - Chase Friedman & ME

[@Chris-P]

Wow, very fortunate guy! Chase should go on the Honeydew pod with Sickler, with this story.

[@Nemesis04119]

100%

[@RealCuckerTarlson]

Sickler laughing during his story with that high pitch cackle would make it way better

Your daughter is hilarious! Let natural selection take it's course.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

It makes me happy knowing Bert reproduced, and that the "Mickey Mantle" gene lives on in at least one of his daughters.

Great story, and one of your best podcasts yet Bert! So good!

[@hookset4137]

I had a cardiac arrest nearly 2 years ago was dead for 3o minutes coma for 2 weeks traumatic brain injury cortical blindness hallucinations had to learn how to walk again i am.learninng how to see again I can sympathize really feel his pain inspiring story doctors give no guarantees I am suppose to be a vegetable this inspires me to work harder thanks for sharing this story and for all the laughs big ups

[@elsquatcho2397]

If you were dead for more than eight minutes wouldnt your brain no longer work?

[@richiehosmer5420]

I don’t think they would have kept trying for 30 minutes

[@hookset4137]

Well they did almost give up but I think the emt,s are probably parents and where reluctant to give up and leave a 2 Mont baby without a father to the other comment I will have tbi the rest of my life and the fire station is just around the corner from my house so I got oxygen pretty quickly

[@Kurenai666]

He got sooooooo lucky that only got bruised. I'm a complete paraplegic since a horse riding accident. So I know all the things he went through. My injury was a clear cut through the spinal cord and I never had any recovery (with a cut cord you can't do anything at all, with bruising once the swelling goes down the nerves will recover slowly and you have to work your ass off in rehab. Doesn't guarantee anything though, no matter how hard you work, but it helps you to get the most out of the usage that you still have). Not many people know that a spinal cord injury doesn't only mean to not walk again. You can't feel when you have to use the toilet, you don't have any feeling below injury level. Good that Bert uses his podcast and Chase tells his story to bring more awareness to people. I can still use my hands, so there are lots of people who have it worse than me.

[@Mrs_Small]

Definitely one of my favorite Bertcasts!

[@Triumphwonderdog]

Chase needs his own podcast! Great story teller, the part about how much weight his neck brace would hold was awesome ! Hey Chase, this would be a great Netflix movie!

[@brianjensen9231]

Big ups to Chase. Great talk and I am pulling for this guy.

[@zacshaiken328]

“Taylor is emotionally paralyzed” 🤣🤣🤣

[@andarwalker]

Bert’s shirtless ad reads in his glasses reminds me of good ol’ Leo serenading Mark.

[@N8cast]

Bert makes my day go by so quick with his podcasts, keep up the great work!

[@arbivark]

In 2015 I was in a car wreck and spent a lot of the next 3 years lying in bed hurting, and bert's podcasts got me through. I'm about 80% better now, and i do open mikes under the name arbitrary aardvark.

[@skybug1706]

1:01:51 got very real here (not that it wasn't before you know what i mean) and listening to him talk about his old coach chanting at him in his head, the Rocky theme, and the describe concept of mandatorily giving it his all to see any progress... idk, brought me to tears

[@CaptainCataractss]

I listened to the whole thing. Great episode! Chase is awesome and I know he’ll get there! GO CHASE!!!

[@kylemcnab927]

Good timing of this podcast. I have scoliosis surgery at the end of the month that I wanted and needed since 2018. Weird how the world works.

[@fataldata]

Hope your surgery goes well.

[@lordfordification]

Amazing!!!! What a badass kid!

[@mightywink.]

Found my way here because Chase posted a funny tik tok about his dating profile when he was paralyzed, and someone in the comments section asked how he ended up paralyzed and he said to find this vid on youtube. I'm nosy, so I cruised on over. This was a wild ride!!!

[@Zian545]

I'm glad to see you made a recover I have a fracture from c2-c4 and that thing that makes it look spongey. I couldn't move for 6 weeks and I didn't do great healing. I made enough of a recovery to live a mostly normal life. Pain and panic plague me but I stay strong and positive to keep moving

[@Carl_2112]

Wow what a great podcast! Bert is such a great guy. Chase is a huge inspiration. I wish both of you a quick recovery and I hope to meet with both of you in the future.

[@AdrienneLoth]

Cool, another one where Bart talks with someone about himself. That’s what I’m here for. ❤️

[@joshuacastellano9363]

I know Bert is trying to relate to chases situation but when he talking about how difficult his injuries are to a disabled persons seems weird 😂

[@thomasdolan3104]

When Chase said “everything’s going to be fine, I’m going to walk again I’m not even worried” it just tells you that your brain can heal you.

[@clintonleonard5187]

No, that's a survival mechanism called "coping." It does help, though.

[@jennifermommy9373]

I had a friend in high-school who ended up being paralyzed from the neck down. It happened at a typical teenager, parents gone, kinda party. There was alcohol and Marijuana and harder stuff there. My friend was a great hi hop dancer, popular, the whole shibang. He's had a few drinks and I'm not sure what else but the music is blasting and he's dancing. He jumps up on a picnic table and goes to do a back flip off of it. He misses the landing and ends up landing on his head and snapping his neck. Full quadriplegic in an instant. It was a horror show. Ppl got help right away. Nobody touched him except the professionals. He was never able to gain function back. From then on he was constantly fighting illness like pneumonia. So heart breaking. He was confined to bed basically. I live in canada so he was given a small home with nurses along with free Healthcare. It changed his personality for the worse. I don't want to explain his downward spiral. Feels disrespectful. He lived for a couple years after the accident but ended up dieing from the pneumonia he kept catching. Just the saddest thing I have ever witnessed. I hope there is something after this life and I hope he is there and happy.

[@tonymarselle8812]

Whatever happened to the “bill/Bert podcast” ?????

[@GEEKYMICK]

Good question

[@joshuapinkham2925]

OMG this was so scary, I woke up still drunk like 10 years ago, went to the bathroom but because i got up so fast, I vision turned white and I slipped and cracked the back of my head on the edge of the bathtub about, right where that big bone is, i hit it right below that to the right, about .5 inch above the C1. Had to get 12 staples the next day, never thinking it was that bad. Could of paralyzed myself that morning.

[@ernestocalderin6364]

May be the best Bertcast ever recorded.

[@seanwilks7712]

“I had to get it from behind the chair”...Woah!

[@drivehard2395]

I fell down a flight of really steep stairs while living in the Rocky Mountains. Landed on my neck/shoulders, and it screwed me up for life. Had to sell off my business, and move back to my home state. All because I was wearing socks. Slid on the edge of the first step, and that was it. Takes a split second for an event to completely change the course of your entire life.

[@nippleface9659]

Way to make it all about you, stupid

[@drivehard2395]

Gee, sorry I upset you by relating to someone else's story. Suck it.

[@gloriagaribay8679]

How're you doing now? R u fully recovered?

[@sid5156]

Between Bert and Stallone, I really hope they turn his story into a dark comedy. Atleast its something new and not another remake. All the ingredients are there for it.

[@KraftyKc]

You haven't done anything? That's crazy if you actually see what a life that does absolutely nothing, then my friend, please take a peek at my life. I'm 46, and I sit in my room most of the day and watch videos. On the other days that I don't, I go out and get my nails done or lashes. That's my life. I wait for 20 days for my husband to come home from work. Then he comes home for 10. Those 10 days are my highlight 😊. So that's doing nothing with your life. Please allow yourself to know you have done lots. You've done so much for all of us that absolutely enjoy YOU! 😊❤

I really do hope that a book deal and movie deal is given to Chase… I also hope a second movie deal is given to him that is non-fiction about what this “lawyer” would have done to him if this was a one night stand and it was just the two of them. I thinking of a cross between “Misery”, “Flowers In The Attic”, “Saw” with a lot of “Party Monster” throughout the entire film.

That sounds about right. I find with language, that certain languages speak to certain people better than others. I tend to find comfort when speaking and learning Chinese. Practicing it makes me feel so calm. Yet some people get nervous just imagining it! I also feel the same about Arabic and Urdu (Pakistani) yet Russian makes me nervous. I don’t know why, but it is a thing!

His recovery is absolutely amazing, but neither he nor Bert address that it wouldn’t of happened if he had not been partying. Seems a missed opportunity to help a generation learn moderation. They seem to almost encourage partying as soon as he is healthy enough to again. With two kids in college and my own experiences my mind goes straight to preventing things like this.
