 Hi, this is Mitch Mitchell been away for a couple of weeks because I was home all last week with my wife We don't usually get to be home together. So we had a real good time I had a birthday. So I now qualify for senior meals that I hop and I'm not embarrassed by that because I find I can't really eat big breakfasts Anymore anyhow, so I'm not really upset with that. I had a nice time But I want to start off by saying that, you know This odd life doing videos and I found that out because I had a video I wanted my wife to see so I'm showing her to video and She said why do you tell people all this stuff? I said well because that's what I would do is she said do other people do this I said yeah pretty much, you know people talk about whatever they want to some people are really skilled and talented know how to You know manipulate and edit videos and do things But in general, you know some of us give our opinions and we just talk about things that go on in our lives And she said well that just seems so odd I said well, you know if you ever feel like sitting down just watch some YouTube videos go do it My wife doesn't watch my video. So there you go. What are you gonna do? But it shows that you know YouTube has its own kind of community the types of people who may watch videos as opposed to everyone So I'm gonna start with this thing here, which is also in the title this thing about Fitbit Now for those of you who don't know what it is It actually is kind of a tracker it tracks steps It can calculate the calories off those steps. It can track sleep Now what I've done is I use mine and I've integrated it into my fitness pal, which I've talked about quite a few times here Okay, maybe twice I think and then you know, you'll see this little Linking thing over here showing you the video to my fitness pal when I first started it and that's all still going Well, my glucose is still under control I had a couple of days over last week because we got invited to a Labor Day thing and you know You're home and you're going to different things or whatever I had a couple of days where it was a little rough and it was barely hanging in there Couple of days I just blew it, but you know what your home you have to take those days But glucose stayed way under control anyway This is what I got for my birthday and it doesn't look like much and It's it's called a Fitbit and this is actually a Fitbit flex and it's got this little doohickey in it and what this does is it tracks steps and Working with my fitness pal it actually adds Calories that you're allowed to eat for the day because it tracks your steps And then it calculates it and it puts it in there And that's nothing new because fit on my fitness pal had a thing where if you exercise you could go and you could put That in manually and then it added some things to it. So this thing has been pretty interesting I'm not overly sure Fully how accurate it is But what's been really intriguing is how it tracks sleep because I don't sleep well We just put it that way I do have a CPAP and I sleep better than I used to but I still don't sleep well So I've been tracking my sleep over the last few days and it's amazing It seems that I am awake or moving way more than I'm just sleeping way more than half One night. It was like 72% That's not good But it now gives me something to check on and maybe talk with my sleep doctor about and maybe I need some more Adjustments or maybe I just need to be tied down or something. I okay. No, we're not having that But it's interesting stuff. So I just wanted to mention that kind of thing It only goes for about a hundred dollars and as a matter of fact after I got mine Then my wife decided she want one so I you know went and bought her one and it sinks to the phone So as long as you have the my fitness pal app You don't need that by the way because it turns out that you can track meals and fit that but you actually have to put Them in manually. I've told you about the my fitness pal If you watch the other video, you know that it's you know, a little simpler to use at least it is for me So now I'm back out of town as you can tell but this is a totally different room I get here Sunday afternoon and the general manager says mr. Mitchell We've got a lot of people coming in for conventions this week and So we couldn't get you where we normally put you so we're gonna be putting you in a different place I said, okay, where are you putting me? He says well, we're putting you in one of our rooms It has a fireplace. Oh fireplace Unfortunately until it cools down you don't get to use the fireplace, but still it's a it's a much bigger room that I usually get The living room area is bigger. This bedroom is bigger. The kitchen is bigger. The bathroom is big. Everything is bigger Except for the closet the closet. I've actually lost some space, but that's okay Who needs really gigantic closets? So it's kind of nice and I'm on the second floor and these only have two floors So I don't have anyone above me for once and they're a little more solid So I don't hear the people below me unless I'm in the bathroom and they have kids and you hear screaming Yeah, I can handle that and it's kind of neat because now I have an actual place to always park my car Where I will see my car So I like that this week next two weeks I'm driving a Toyota Camry a red Toyota Camry very cool by the way this is an upgraded car because National has now decided that I deserve to be executive elite. Whoo Hey, we take our upgrades where we can get them, right? So I'm back down in the South and let me tell you a Day like today has really been interesting at least for someone like me Two weeks ago. I saw my first Armadillo ever. It was dead. It had been hit by a car I saw Armadillo live. I said, oh my god. I didn't know we had Armadillos here I thought they were just in Texas today. I decided, you know, take a break and just do a little walk around the parking lot What do I run into a live Armadillo and these suckers aren't small? I mean, you know, well, it's hard to judge. You can't see my hands, but you know, it's About my the width of me with this really long tail. It was kind of brown I wasn't sure what it would really look like, but it was brown and it was just it just kind of freaked me out Because I didn't expect to see it and the thing is that these folks told me the first time I mentioned about an armored I said, well, you know, they're really scared of people. So if it sees you, it's just gonna run off Mm-hmm. This bad boy looked at me and then he's like, I ain't worried about you What that doing what it wanted to do me I kind of hesitated because what I'm used to is people saying, you know If animals don't necessarily run away from you unless it's something like squirrels where they're kind of used to people That's not necessarily a good sign a lot of times they're rabid at least where I'm from so I went inside and I mentioned Oh my goodness. I saw the armadillo out there. So they they're scared of people they run I said this one didn't run so when I was leaving work I'm looking around whatever and one of the people I work with was just behind me and suddenly there it is I saw hey, wait, there he is. He's under the tree. He's right over there. She looks over. She says Armadillo, he's just trying to get out of the sun. I said, yeah, but you said they ran from people That one's not running. She said they're harmless and then later on Someone said that you can get leprosy from them now. I'm thinking they're probably kidding But you know, I'll be looking that up a little bit later and if Armadillos give you leprosy I'm gonna make sure I'm carrying something with me from now I'm gonna smack that thing because Mitchell is not getting any leprosy. So I'm just saying that now I Then you know, I come back to the hotel and I bought new sneakers over the weekend Because my feet had been really hot down here and at home and then I realized wait a minute These are these Gore-Tec sneakers that don't breathe at all Which is I bought them for colder climates, but it's been hot and hadn't thought about it So I bought these new sneakers that actually will breathe and my wife was gonna send them down to me Turns out she used my account and sent them overnight. I can't wait to see that bill But I got them today. So I decided well, I'm gonna walk a little bit But I'm not gonna overly walk because it's still Twitter on hot So I had the shuttle take me to this restaurant this place called Jason's deli where I had this chicken pot pie soup That's just absolutely wonderful. By the way, Campbell's makes a chicken pot pie soup No, stay away. Oh, no, I couldn't season it to get it so that I could eat it So no, I'm just mentioning that now in case you're wondering, but I had this chicken pot pie soup Wonderful stuff and me being me. I said, you know, I don't want to sandwich today see what else they have and it turns out They had a baked potato So I ordered a big potato and I'm thinking you know I'm gonna get this little, you know big potato with some butter and bacon bits and chives and it's life's gonna be wonderful It was a monster and I took a picture of it and I wish I could show you the picture But you know, I didn't move it to the phone so I can't upload it, but it's a monstrous big potatoes Oh my god So I took a picture of that sent it to my wife and say well I guess I keep misjudging this place because some of this stuff is pretty big. So I did not eat at all I eat the soup first. I didn't eat at all. Matter of fact, the soup bowl soup would have been enough for me Yeah, live and learn and then I walked I walked to Target, there's a Target store. That's somewhere, you know, it's just relatively close I have walked Now haven't actually walked to Target I've walked to the restaurant that's in the same plaza as the Target and then the restaurant and Target are at opposite end So I've walked from the restaurant to Target, but I've never just walked to Target because a lot of times though I want to buy stuff this cold So I drive over therefore, you know, if I'm buying gelato or something this cold It's not gonna warm up and the gelato won't melt So I walked from the restaurant there I called the folks asked them if someone could pick me up there and I go shopping and This is gonna mean nothing to a ton of people, but it meant something to me It's gonna mean something to a few other people. Who do I run into? But Jerry the King Lawler I'm in Jerry the King Lawler's hometown So for anyone who hasn't really figured out where I'm at yet if they even care Recognize this is Jerry the King Lawler's hometown, but I didn't expect to see him down in this area of the city So I said Jerry the King. Oh, it's it's great to see you and I'm just I'm so happy that I get to see you I said, I didn't even know you were from this area. He said, yeah, well, thank you very much. And yep This is where I'm from. Well So I got to be somewhere close to his museum or whatever that I thought was way downtown so You know, we'll see we'll see but that's interesting It's just Jerry the King Lawler with his woman and I'm assuming maybe it's his wife and his son I really don't know. I haven't kept up all the personal stuff and there they were just shopping and Target buying food Famous people have to buy food too. I guess there you go. So that was kind of fun So life is pretty good these days at a great time at home. I'm back here doing okay And you know, hopefully next time I do a video I'll focus more on something more specific I do want to mention one thing. No, might as well just get this out of the way. This is Just something I want to touch upon the ray rice thing By now almost everyone whether you like football or not has to have heard about this running back from the Baltimore Ravens Name Ray Rice months ago. We knew that he had knocked out his wife in an elevator We knew that because there was the picture of him dragging his wife out of elevator And he got to game suspension, which was really ridiculous But the commissioner at the time said we don't have anything the wife didn't press in charges The city, you know put him in a rehab program to go do something and then his record to be expunged So you're thinking it's all over then TMZ these folks. Oh my goodness I don't know how they get the stuff they get they got the video From the elevator showing him knocking her out Now here's the thing I Don't want to see that stuff. So therefore I have not seen the video I'm not going to see the video and It's one of those kind of things where one I didn't feel like being voyeuristic I'm thinking I really don't need to see some man knocking out some woman But two I started thinking about his wife Because because they got married they were actually they were just engaged then and then they married a month later And the thing is that yes, this is a guy who did a bad thing He's now been his contract was terminated by the Ravens the NFL has has him on indefinite suspension But you put this video out there imagine you're her and now you have to see this thing where you're knocked out now Supposedly his lawyer already had it. Maybe she'd seen it. Maybe she hadn't but now it's all over TV And everybody is watching a video where she's getting knocked out by this man She married she spit on him and he didn't like it and supposedly knocked her out Well, forget it suppose that he didn't knock her out and I'm thinking, you know That didn't need to be but we've become this society in general where we don't believe Anything that we hear unless we can really see it sometimes of course We recognize that things that we see aren't real either but in this particular instance I'm thinking I just didn't need to see it and of course whether she do she comes out today and she says, you know The media is ruining my life. It's embarrassing seeing this thing. I'm trying to put this behind me We're trying to put this behind us, but it won't just keeps pounding it pounding it pounding it now Here's the thing. I have no sympathy for this guy Even though his contract was terminated they paid him a 25 million dollar bonus and you know what he gets to Keep it all they can't even take it back because I guess it's not related to anything that they could actually You know sue him to get that money back. So he's got his 25 million. They've got money They will be fine, but I'm wondering about her. I don't know Someone let me know am I being too sensitive about this one or you know, if you believe that I may have some kind of point Let me know. I was watching the Philip DeFranco video earlier today. He said the same kind of thing, you know So I'm just wondering how y'all feel about that Anyhow This is Mitch Mitchell. I'm done for the moment. I'm a happy guy Although it turns out that because of the soup and the potato. I don't have enough calories left for dessert Say la vie y'all take care
