TSA, Testosterone & Vodka – Episode 889

: Episode 889 – Vinnie and listener Jim talk about their frequent TSA pat-downs, testosterone replacement, distilled spirits and much much more!

LISTENER JIM

• Found Vinnie through the Carolla effect
• Vinnie doesn’t back down when he knows he is right – that’s a great way to be!
• Jim really liked the straight forwardness of Vinnie
• Used to live in CA, now in Idaho
• Jim, because of his situation, has had blood pressure troubles
  • He had an artery explode in his head
    • It took the hospital multiple visits before they actual did something about his aneurism
  • Jim could tell he was dying, but the hospital still would not do anything for a good while
    • He finally saw a specialist and found a doctor who would operate within hours of his potential death

TSA PAT-DOWNS

• Vinnie and Jim both have a lot of experience with TSA Pat-downs, whether it be personal or related
• Vinnie is especially the “sketchy” looking guy who gets searched
  • Largely because of his metal soldier
• Frustrating especially because they are not the bad guys

TESTOSTERONE

• Because of his ‘aneurism’, he is concerned about taking testosterone replacement medications
• Vinnie is not a doctor so could not say whether or not this would really affect his brain
• However, Vinnie finds that generally, testosterone supplements are BS
• Vinnie has lower T, but can still do everything a man with “high” T can do because he works at it and eats right

VODKA & MORE

• Distilled alcohols are alright, as long as sugar is not added
• Stay away from beer – it is liquid pasta
• Vodka, gin, tequila all alright
  • Mix it with La Croix!
