ABOUT THE THREE QUESTIONS WITH ANDY RICHTER
Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from getting personal himself.

BMXer here with a broken wrist that now requires surgery because I convinced myself it wasn't broken for 6 weeks before finally getting a CT scan. Had I just gotten checked out right away, I'd be almost out of a cast instead of looking at surgery and then being in a cast for most of this year. Lesson learned!

20 years ago I was playing as Tony's character in his videogame, where he could defy the laws of physics with ease. 20 years later I see him as a human, and appreciate him all the more for it. Life is strange, but beautiful.

Fascinating. I too broke my femur (downhill skiing), and while I did it as a spry 16-year old, it sounds like my fracture was much more serious, as mine was in 8 or 9 large pieces, and countless small ones. Nonetheless, I was extremely eager to get back to my normal life, and though I followed the doctor's instructions, I also had a situation where the bone hadn't healed on its own, requiring new hardware (a second surgery about 6.5 months after the first), and a bone graft of pelvic bone material (which has a lot of osteoblasts) to ensure that the growth happened. And you can bet I didn't want that second surgery...it sucks to have to go through a months-long healing process, and then realize that it failed, and you're starting back at square one again, with limited mobility, using a wheelchair and crutches (more of the latter as time passes) followed by a cane for stability and support, and finally walking unaided. Anyway, I just get the frustration of being in that situation. And now, 25 years later, I still live with the chronic pain from the nerve damage that all of those shards of bone did as they blew apart in my leg when it twisted in a way that a bone should never experience (plus the initial surgery - having lost almost half of my total blood volume into the soft tissue of my leg, the surgeons were more concerned with saving my life and leg than with being careful about what nerves they cut), which is a whole other source of frustration. It's mostly managed with gabapentin and codeine (although I just changed doctors, and it took *_a long time_* for me to convince my new GP that I required as much codeine as I do - I'm currently holding at 500 mg per day, in 4 time-released doses), which is fine, but I'd be happier without the drugs (I have managed to reduce my codeine over the last year from 600 mg a day, and the pain only got 5-10% worse, which to me was a worthwhile trade-off). People don't understand that modern medicine can often fix something pretty close to where it was before (especially with simpler stuff like broken bones), but it will ALWAYS be worse than the undamaged original. So yes, we're lucky - I would have lost my leg if that accident had happened in the 1960s or possibly even 1970s (it happened in the late '90s), and probably my life had it happened before the 1910s - but there's still a lot of room for improvement (and I'm hoping to help in a small way with that improvement, as I'm getting into a second career as an x-ray technologist, so maybe I'll be able to be a part of the system that helps future moronic teenagers who think they're invincible).

That's absolutely insane. Supposedly, a broken femur is more painful than freaking PREGNANCY. I mean, I assume, compared to the initial break, limping on it was far less excruciating, but I still can't imagine just dealing with that for so long.

@sergioventura2595 Жыл бұрын

It might have been painful but not painful enough to go to a doctor until it became unbearable.

It depends on the individual. I am ADHD autistic with sensory processing disorder, mainly leaning toward hyposensitivity (meaning that my senses are dull). For example, I do not feel a mosquito until it bites me, and sometimes only halfway through the bite. Then the bite only itches for a few minutes or so. In contrast, my mom who is ADHD autistic with sensory processing disorder and HYPERsensitivity can feel the individual legs of the mosquito walking on her skin. Her mosquito bites bother her for days. You can get the same from mental illness / anxiety, like hypervigilance associated with PTSD. They feel EVERYTHING. A neurotypical person has a typical brain, nervous system, and senses. They are in the middle of the two sensory extremes. I broke my foot as a teenager and walked on it for months. It did not hurt to me. I only got treatment when my mom noticed it was swollen 2x-3x its normal size. Hawk has talked about having ADHD traits before, like hyperactivity. You will find a lot of neurodivergent (ADHD, autistic, Tourette's, etc.) people among skateboarders because it's a subculture that gives you an outlet for your energy and eccentricities. What hurts unbearably to someone else might just kind of bother him.

Isnt it same with all sports? Its not all competitive, people also do it for fun, as part of their culture, as an art. Jude, Wrestling, Basketball, Gymnastics etc etc. I think most sports have cultural impact more pronouced than their competitve side.

@cwbrooks5329 Жыл бұрын

Interesting thought. I think sports reflect human nature. There is, perhaps, a "higher part" of ourselves that is striving for unattainable perfection, but there is the "human" part that likes to compete -- to have a measure of ourselves against others. As an aside, I will mention that as a ballet dancer, who is supposedly only aiming for personal perfection, there is a huge competitive streak that runs through the arts as well as sports, even if artists don't say it aloud. I imagine it's the same in business and the sciences as well. We're all allegedly grown-ups but still saying "Look at me! Tell me I'm the best!" like a bunch of children begging for attention and validation.

@Lurdiak Жыл бұрын

I think Tony meant more that it's kind of a space you exist in, especially with the people who can make a living at it non-competitively. There really isn't a lot of opportunities for exhibition basketball outside of like... the Harlem Globetrotters, for example. And skating is so tied to a specific counter culture movement in the US that the people who are really into it share a certain perspective on life in a way people with other shared sports might not. I guess the closest analogy I can think of is the hip hop world, where it's more than just a musical genre, theres a whole connective history and culture there for those who are deep in the center of it.
