So I used to call her poison. So everybody thought her real name, we'd be in the gym, lift the weights. I'd be like, get it poison. And they go, is that her real name? No, but no, I knew her.

I was married to her, Italian lady, long time. We were successful. We had properties together. We both had good careers. So she... And, and at that point I wasn't living the gym life. I wasn't into any of that. And what happened was I woke up one day, man, I got tired. My whole body hurt. My elbows hurt. I was getting cortisone put in my elbows and my shoulders. That was hurt.
And I didn't work for anybody at that point. I was, how old were you? Um, at that point I was like, like in my forties. And then, um, So, I went seeing my regular primary doctor. Primary doctor's like, oh, yeah, here, take these. And he's giving me Vicodin. I couldn't sleep unless I took Vicodin.
Right.
Chapter 3: What led to Andrew's hospitalization?

So, what year was this? Back in early 2000s? This was like 2000, say maybe like 2010.
Yeah. okay right i was gonna say but i was gonna say yeah because that's basically when there's the pill mills were going nuts like yeah yeah yeah yeah oh no yeah but i'd never seen that my primary was just giving me a prescription for for vicodin and and i would take one i'd sit on the couch and this is when mtv still had on um jackass and i would sit there and watch jackass till i passed out
but then i could sleep all night my body didn't hurt i could roll over i was all good i didn't lock i i said i would refer to myself that i would like lock up like the tin man and so then after that i went i went to uh the doctor and i was talking to a guy one time and i had never stepped foot in the gym and the guy says to me one day he goes have you had your hormones checked and i go what
I go, no, man, everything's good. I took an insult. I thought I was, you know, talking about my junk. And I was like, no, no, no, we're good, man. But then I went, he goes, here, go to this clinic. I went to this clinic down in Boynton. The guy checked my blood, pulled it back, tells me, I guess, come on in the office.
And they had like a, you know, like a doc that would come in there, check my blood. He goes, man, you got low testosterone. Yeah.
