00:00:10,431 --> 00:00:13,627
Hello and welcome to a very brief episode

2
00:00:13,627 --> 00:00:14,745
of the smile code.

3
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:16,437
This is Doctor,

4
00:00:17,315 --> 00:00:20,028
and I'm delighted that you're joining me once

5
00:00:20,028 --> 00:00:20,187
again.

6
00:00:22,342 --> 00:00:24,666
Today, I have a a funny story to

7
00:00:24,666 --> 00:00:25,382
share with you.

8
00:00:27,051 --> 00:00:29,538
Have you ever had 1 of those moments

9
00:00:29,674 --> 00:00:32,457
where you think you've experienced everything, only to

10
00:00:32,457 --> 00:00:32,829
be

11
00:00:33,746 --> 00:00:34,963
surprised by something

12
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:35,840
completely

13
00:00:36,854 --> 00:00:37,332
unexpected.

14
00:00:38,289 --> 00:00:41,573
Well, buckle up because I've got a story

15
00:00:41,573 --> 00:00:44,369
for you that's bound tickle, your funny ball.

16
00:00:45,647 --> 00:00:47,485
So this happened a few years ago,

17
00:00:48,216 --> 00:00:49,488
I was new to Seattle,

18
00:00:50,125 --> 00:00:52,271
home of the rain, coffee and crunch.

19
00:00:53,305 --> 00:00:54,657
It was around 9PM,

20
00:00:54,975 --> 00:00:55,531
my time.

21
00:00:56,182 --> 00:00:58,910
Pretty standard evening, nothing out of the ordinary.

22
00:00:59,762 --> 00:01:01,592
I decided to call my friend in New

23
00:01:01,751 --> 00:01:01,989
York.

24
00:01:03,279 --> 00:01:04,877
Now for those of you keeping track,

25
00:01:05,916 --> 00:01:07,993
New York is 3 hours ahead, so it

26
00:01:07,993 --> 00:01:10,470
was already midnight in New York.

27
00:01:11,524 --> 00:01:14,161
My friend. Well, let's call him Jack. Is

28
00:01:14,161 --> 00:01:16,239
a night owl, so I figured it wouldn't

29
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:17,038
be a big deal.

30
00:01:18,636 --> 00:01:21,202
So I called Jack and we're chatting away,

31
00:01:22,157 --> 00:01:23,828
talking about the usual stuff.

32
00:01:25,976 --> 00:01:28,443
Like how seattle weather is like living inside

33
00:01:28,443 --> 00:01:30,769
a cloud in how New York is a

34
00:01:30,769 --> 00:01:32,205
city that never sleeps.

35
00:01:33,162 --> 00:01:35,873
When suddenly, I hear this rumbling noise.

36
00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:38,425
Now when I say a rumbling,

37
00:01:39,478 --> 00:01:41,713
I don't mean a little background noise.

38
00:01:42,830 --> 00:01:45,863
This is like a subwoofer for cranking up

39
00:01:45,863 --> 00:01:47,220
to maximum volume.

40
00:01:47,795 --> 00:01:49,555
Causing static on the line.

41
00:01:50,515 --> 00:01:53,555
My phone literally vibrate in my hand.

42
00:01:54,769 --> 00:01:56,605
For a split second, I thought we were

43
00:01:56,605 --> 00:01:57,722
having an earthquake.

44
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,335
I'm mean Seattle is no stranger to seismic

45
00:02:01,553 --> 00:02:03,150
activity, but this was different.

46
00:02:04,202 --> 00:02:06,038
I was puzzled so I asked Jack,

47
00:02:06,676 --> 00:02:08,512
what in the world is that?

48
00:02:10,587 --> 00:02:12,997
There was a brief pause and then jak

49
00:02:12,997 --> 00:02:14,036
started laughing.

50
00:02:14,915 --> 00:02:17,971
I'm talking full on can't catch his breath

51
00:02:18,030 --> 00:02:18,350
laughter.

52
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,740
After what thought like an eternity, he managed

53
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:24,672
to compose himself enough

54
00:02:25,206 --> 00:02:25,922
to explain.

55
00:02:27,529 --> 00:02:30,562
Turns out Jack had a guest staying over,

56
00:02:31,281 --> 00:02:33,835
a friend, who according to him was an

57
00:02:33,835 --> 00:02:34,335
epic

58
00:02:34,872 --> 00:02:35,272
star.

59
00:02:36,403 --> 00:02:37,437
And by epic.

60
00:02:37,994 --> 00:02:38,733
I mean

61
00:02:39,187 --> 00:02:39,505
legendary.

62
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:42,869
This guy sn was so loud

63
00:02:43,323 --> 00:02:46,043
that it was causing inner interference on our

64
00:02:46,043 --> 00:02:46,600
phone call.

65
00:02:47,873 --> 00:02:49,863
So here I am sitting here in Seattle,

66
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:53,444
some 2856

67
00:02:53,444 --> 00:02:54,375
miles away

68
00:02:54,812 --> 00:02:57,460
and I can hear this guy sn as

69
00:02:57,517 --> 00:02:59,665
clear as if he were right next to

70
00:02:59,665 --> 00:02:59,824
me.

71
00:03:00,541 --> 00:03:02,132
I catch you not. It was like the

72
00:03:02,132 --> 00:03:03,268
dude was sn

73
00:03:03,658 --> 00:03:05,168
straight through the phone lines.

74
00:03:06,836 --> 00:03:08,425
Now, I imagine this you're try to have

75
00:03:08,425 --> 00:03:09,164
a normal

76
00:03:09,697 --> 00:03:10,197
conversation

77
00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:12,215
and the background there's this

78
00:03:12,735 --> 00:03:14,354
ongoing sn symphony?

79
00:03:15,055 --> 00:03:16,334
I couldn't stop laughing.

80
00:03:16,894 --> 00:03:19,534
I mean, how often do you hear sn

81
00:03:19,534 --> 00:03:20,594
so powerful

82
00:03:21,309 --> 00:03:23,786
that it crosses multiple time zones.

83
00:03:25,224 --> 00:03:27,061
So Jack goes on to tell me that

84
00:03:27,061 --> 00:03:27,880
his guests

85
00:03:28,671 --> 00:03:29,729
sn had

86
00:03:30,184 --> 00:03:32,731
has become somewhat of a local legend about

87
00:03:32,731 --> 00:03:33,686
their friend group,

88
00:03:34,721 --> 00:03:36,494
and that they've tried everything,

89
00:03:36,870 --> 00:03:37,879
nasal strips

90
00:03:38,635 --> 00:03:39,351
special pillows,

91
00:03:39,907 --> 00:03:43,327
even those white noise machines, but nothing works.

92
00:03:44,122 --> 00:03:46,864
This sky sn is like a force of

93
00:03:46,924 --> 00:03:47,084
nature.

94
00:03:47,805 --> 00:03:50,284
They've even joked about entering him into some

95
00:03:50,284 --> 00:03:51,424
kind of a sn

96
00:03:52,205 --> 00:03:53,584
competition if such a thing

97
00:03:53,965 --> 00:03:54,125
exists.

98
00:03:55,732 --> 00:03:56,607
The best part,

99
00:03:57,244 --> 00:04:00,268
Jack said that sometimes the sn gets so

100
00:04:00,268 --> 00:04:00,768
loud

101
00:04:01,302 --> 00:04:03,291
that is sets off his dog's barking.

102
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:07,278
So it's not just a sn issue. It's

103
00:04:07,278 --> 00:04:09,979
a whole orchestra castro event at his place.

104
00:04:10,932 --> 00:04:11,329
Sn,

105
00:04:11,885 --> 00:04:13,076
followed by barking,

106
00:04:13,805 --> 00:04:14,916
and more sn,

107
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,406
we spend the rest of the call laughing

108
00:04:18,406 --> 00:04:20,151
about it. And to this day,

109
00:04:20,802 --> 00:04:23,846
It remains 1 of the funniest most bizarre

110
00:04:23,902 --> 00:04:25,412
experiences I've ever had.

111
00:04:26,207 --> 00:04:28,592
I mean, how many people can say they've

112
00:04:28,592 --> 00:04:29,728
heard a sn

113
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:31,717
from almost 3000

114
00:04:31,717 --> 00:04:32,436
miles away.

115
00:04:34,114 --> 00:04:35,872
So the moral of the story to your

116
00:04:35,872 --> 00:04:38,324
listeners is that life is full of une

117
00:04:38,524 --> 00:04:40,514
expected and hilarious moments.

118
00:04:41,310 --> 00:04:43,938
And sometimes those moments come in the form

119
00:04:43,938 --> 00:04:44,836
of a sn

120
00:04:45,291 --> 00:04:46,349
that echoes

121
00:04:46,980 --> 00:04:48,420
from across the country.

122
00:04:50,180 --> 00:04:53,300
Thanks for tuning into the short episode of

123
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:54,180
the smile coat.

124
00:04:55,789 --> 00:04:56,527
In a

125
00:04:58,094 --> 00:04:58,594
future

126
00:04:58,968 --> 00:05:00,479
episode, I'm going to have a guest,

127
00:05:01,433 --> 00:05:02,489
1 of my colleagues

128
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,180
who is an airway

129
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:04,879
expert,

130
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,860
and she's going to talk to us about

131
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,220
maintaining a positive

132
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:10,900
airway and mitigate

133
00:05:11,294 --> 00:05:14,322
mitigating the effects of things like sn.

134
00:05:15,517 --> 00:05:17,350
So in the meantime, keep smiling.

135
00:05:19,516 --> 00:05:20,016
Sleep

136
00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:21,128
quietly

137
00:05:21,979 --> 00:05:22,956
and remember

138
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:26,324
to always be prepared for the unexpected

139
00:05:27,236 --> 00:05:28,980
especially when it comes to sn.

140
00:05:30,327 --> 00:05:31,223
This is doctor

141
00:05:31,991 --> 00:05:32,784
until next time.

142
00:05:34,710 --> 00:05:35,430
Keep smiling.
