Chapter 1: Who is John Reeves and why is he on the podcast?
Good to see you, my friend.
Good to be seen. Thank you.
Good to see you.
We were supposed to be doing the end of the year, but unfortunately, you got caught with the cooties.
Chapter 2: What health scare did John Reeves experience?
I did. I did. What'd you get? I can officially announce that the end of 2024 is right now.
I've been waiting for that. The calendar's all bullshit anyway. It's supposed to be on that old one that's 13 months. There you go. So what happened? What did you catch?
Well, I thought I had bronchitis. Everybody in the house had it. We go to CrossFit, and they all had it. I go to CrossFit Jackson. My trainer's Megan Russell there, and she's going, ah, you might want to take it easy a little bit. Of course, I'm smoking cigarettes, and I got bronchitis. I go to a clinic. They give me some drugs. Yeah, you got bronchitis. Go home.
A couple days later, I'm sleeping in my chair, and my wife has one of those little oxygen modern things that you put on your finger. She wakes me up and goes, all right, let's go. What do you mean, let's go? Oxygen levels. You're going to the hospital. What? I'm sitting here taking a nap. No, you're going to the hospital. So I said, okay. So it's late at night. We go to St.
Vincent's Clinic, go in. It's late. And sitting there waiting for the doctor, Arian F. Sherry, great guy, it turns out. He comes in and looking at me. He's young enough to be one of my kids. He goes, stethoscope, listening to my lungs. He goes, do you smoke? I said, yeah. He says, you need to quit. I said, I just did. He goes, what? I said, I just did. I'm done. Now what do we do?
Oh.
The bad kind.
The bad kind.
He says, but the good news is you don't have bronchitis. I said, okay.

Chapter 3: How does John Reeves view the American political climate?
Or they initially established and now they've been defending that timeline.
Or even some of the cave drawings that shows people sitting on woolly mammoths.
Really?
Yeah, I've seen them before online. If you believe everything you see.
Like when Ted Nugent rode that buffalo on stage?
That was good.
But that kind of thing. They domesticated them. That's interesting. Well, we know humans have domesticated elephants, right? And they did it a long time ago, and they rode elephants. I mean, we know they do it in India.
Yeah, you rode them.
Yeah, I rode them in Thailand. I don't recommend it. Yeah. Just seems like it could go wrong.
