R2RO Radio Show Week 7: Platelet Donation Adventure, Halloween Reminiscing, and Hoodie Fun
R2RO Radio Show Week 7 on Planet Radio 106.7
Ever wondered how donating platelets could be a life-changing task? Well, join us on this riveting journey as we uncover the intricate process of platelet donation. We shed light on our personal experience at a local blood donation center where we donated platelets for a precious little warrior combating Aplastic Anemia. We navigate through the fascinating components of blood, focusing on platelets and their essential role in clotting. Discover the marvels of medical technology that extracts blood, isolates platelets, and returns the rest of the blood to the body – truly, a wonder in its own right.
Fasten your seatbelts as we time travel to the era of 'bling bling' and 'as if,' reminiscing Halloween memories from our childhood. We spill the beans on our memorable trick or treating adventures, the most inventive costumes we've seen, as well as the amusing Halloween pranks we've encountered. We also recount the unexpected items that ended up in our candy bags as we went from door to door. And don't forget the hoodie talk; we discuss our preferences, share a laugh, and maybe even learn a thing or two together. Get ready for a nostalgic ride filled with laughs and learning!
Plan radio, one of six, point seven the best rock on the planet. Welcome back to the R2 R O Show radio edit. We got me Scott, eric and Chuck as the crew today. Uh, we were sitting around me and Chuck actually went over to, uh, our layer of Lord's uh blood bank blood center.
Speaker 2:Blood center, blood donor center.
Speaker 1:When donate some platelets for low, low blood and lady that was having some medical issues today.
Speaker 2:Yeah, my first time doing platelets. What is a?
Speaker 1:platelet as part of your blood. It's the part of your blood that helps you clot. Oh, so, like whenever I cut my finger while ago, it's like a fibrous material and that's what sticks to stuff and that's what keeps the rest of the blood from getting.
Speaker 3:So why does one need to donate platelets and not just blood?
Speaker 1:Uh, in some cases, from what I understand cause I learned a lot today cause it takes about two hours to donate platelets, cause they're taking all the blood out of you, then they're taking the platelets out of your blood and then they're putting the rest back in you, so it takes twice as long. Cause it was actually like taking its turn. It would take some out and put some back in. Take some out, put some back in.
Speaker 2:And it would let you know when it's doing it. Pretty cool, yeah.
Speaker 1:You get to look at a screen and it'd be like all right, we taking blood and then a little bit later like return and it had a little bar that would show and you're supposed to squeeze the ball when it was supposed to be going into the machine. So it was like playing a game, trying to keep it in the middle.
Speaker 2:It keeps you. So you can feel the blood going back in a little bit yeah, it was a little bit Does your body?
Speaker 3:get it mad cause there's no platelets in it?
Speaker 2:I don't know, I didn't cut my other arm to find out if it would be like.
Speaker 1:My lips tingled a little bit, and I mean a couple of hours later. I drank some water and I feel fine, and in fact, the thing is is by doing this, you can go donate again within 72 hours or a week, depending on how much you donated at the time.
Speaker 3:Is that why they do just the platelets Cause? Is that the important part or it depends on donate blood?
Speaker 2:Yeah, it depends on what they need, so you can still donate blood. We could have donated blood and platelets today, but it really all depends. So there's an emergency situation where they need a lot of blood than they just need the blood. There's no blood platelets whatever, but there are certain diseases that platelet levels get really low. So our levels were in the 200 range. The little girl that we were donating for she's in the 20 to 40 range.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow. Yeah, I said normally you want to be at 250. I forget what it was. Mine was 245. Chuck's was in the 220s. Yeah, somewhere around that, but yeah, this little girl's got you know a tenth of what a normal person has. So and then, of course, when you're sick, they also need to draw blood to see how you're doing. So that that even makes some so some people the problem even works.
Speaker 3:So they take more for right or any platelets. But man correct.
Speaker 1:You're there for two hours. You have so much fun, so I would not be afraid of going be there for two hours, and we know me and Chuck were there. I brought all my like entertainment devices, as I would. Yeah, I had something to read, had my headphones on and Chuck shows up and I didn't touch a single thing. We were just joking and laughing with the staff. They were great man. It was a fun time. Where was that?
Speaker 3:Our.
Speaker 1:Lady of Lords, it is in the James Devon Monkess building right next to the hospital.
Speaker 2:Yeah, right on.
Speaker 1:the third floor.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:They got t-shirts. The staff was great. Oh yeah, the staff was absolutely great.
Speaker 2:They did a great job and I know so much about it now, because they actually, like, were explaining and teaching me.
Speaker 1:You know me, I like to learn. They taught me everything about that machine and how it was working. It was amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we even got to see him cleaning the machine because Scott finished before me. So I'm sitting there just kind of finishing up my process and then they start cleaning his machine because they have the bloods going in there. It's a centrifuge machine. So right, that's the right word. Yeah, so it just spits it out.
Speaker 1:You get to see your platelets in a bag.
Speaker 2:You know, you see blood in a bag, you get to see the platelets in a bag, so it's pretty cool. And what was the other? There was three bags, so it was just platelets.
Speaker 1:And then your plasma. Your plasma looks real watery. Your platelets look like really thick chicken broth. It was real yellow and thick.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like some butter, like some kind of melted butter with a little bit of, so it's not red.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. That's your red blood cells that make it red and they're putting that back in you. So they're giving me all the red back and taking out the yellow and the clear. Why actually put the clear back into? Yeah, they put a little bit of clear back in.
Speaker 3:And that is.
Speaker 1:Huh, clear coat. It's to protect the finish. Well, that's lovely.
Speaker 3:That's like the ceramic coat on the truck.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, no that's just basically the water, because the blood's not just pure red blood cells, or the heart wouldn't be able to pump it.
Speaker 3:It'd be too thick. So what's wrong with the little girl? Oh man, really.
Speaker 1:A plastic anemia.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's true.
Speaker 3:So I needed.
Speaker 2:Scott's education to say that word A plastic anemia.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I know, that is.
Speaker 1:So that's what we did today. That was real funny.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was really rewarding. They were extremely grateful. They scheduled our next appointment already.
Speaker 1:What is that?
Speaker 2:In two weeks.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they told us we need to, so is that why they take just a platelets and give?
Speaker 1:you your blood back so you can do it more often, because your body will replace your platelets and your plasma way faster than it will your red blood cells. Oh yeah, so yeah, they invited us back, like actually all of us, because I was like, you know, we could have been doing our radio show we're just sitting here talking for two hours and so they were like you can do it over here.
Speaker 2:We're like on location.
Speaker 3:We don't know what you signed up for. We going on location. This is a field trip.
Speaker 1:We might be we might have to, we might have to. Well, everybody, come back and see what happens when you do next.
Speaker 4:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:Playing a radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet. We're back with the R2RO show. All right. In fact and speaking of all right, I was looking up some old 90s sling and that was the first one on the list is I.
Speaker 3:I had to hurt nobody's in a while. Craig says it every week. Yeah, craig does.
Speaker 2:I know, when you sent out this list, I was like I started thinking about it really hard. Like, just like man, what's some really cool words that we used to use back in the 90s and everything kind of where did they all come from though?
Speaker 1:Like all of us, came from TV shows and movies. Everything was the bomb. Oh, and I don't know where that actually came from, but everything was the bomb, or the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, and one of the words that really hit me in the heart was bling, oh, bling bling.
Speaker 2:Because that came from Wayne, I know it was Lil Wayne. Bling, bling. I'm just looking over all of them. I mean Clueless came out with 10 of the 90s words alone. Oh, as if the 90s phrases as if, whatever. Yeah, that was pretty cool.
Speaker 1:I saw on the list, that was fat.
Speaker 4:Fat, that's fat.
Speaker 1:Fat, can you remember?
Speaker 4:what the letters mean.
Speaker 1:P-A-T fat. What does that mean? What?
Speaker 2:is it Pretty hot and tempting.
Speaker 1:There you go I hope that's what it is. That's the only version I knew.
Speaker 2:That's all the way I knew my bad. I still use that a lot Bro.
Speaker 3:So, first of all, dope is on the list and I use that at least 18 times a day, but it's on the list twice yeah.
Speaker 1:And I don't understand. It's so versatile. It's so versatile.
Speaker 3:Dope is dope, dope is dope.
Speaker 2:It works, oh snap. Neither of the dopes are drugs, by the way.
Speaker 1:No, it just means something's awesome. Yeah, fyi, that's the 90s. I don't understand the list sometimes.
Speaker 2:I think the 90s were the beginning of the fart.
Speaker 1:The word fart knocker is an idiot, which was a phrase coined by B.
Speaker 2:Beavis and Butthead in the early 90s yeah.
Speaker 1:I grew up on some Beavis and Buttheads. That show was great.
Speaker 2:Oh, don't forget Booyah, oh, Booyah oh. Chris B P.

Speaker 2:That was so great.
Speaker 1:He had some of the greatest catchphrases for Sports Center. For highlight Stewart-Scott, that's a sports guy and he used to say stuff like that and cooler than the other side of the pillow.
Speaker 2:It's.
Speaker 1:Michael's world and the rest of us are paying rent. Yeah, it's hotter than the Wu-Tang Clan on steroids. I love Stewart-Scott.
Speaker 2:Stewart-scott was the man oh, eat my Shorts. The man I saw on the list.

Speaker 2:like 99?
Speaker 3:I know that was pretty much the end of it. Yeah, when was that? I just looked up the song and it was 97.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, that's around the time we stopped caring about Will Smith music. I stopped caring about music.
Speaker 1:I think, music stopped existing in like 97. I stopped caring about Will.
Speaker 3:Smith music when Jazzy Jeff wasn't in it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it's around the same time.

Speaker 1:My bad. I was talking about things as clean. That is clean, that's clean Day 10s, but they clean the number of clean.
Speaker 3:That was 2000, though, yeah, late 90s, og OMG, we started that. Omg, I thought that was later.
Speaker 1:Oh, was that from Clueless? I don't know.
Speaker 3:I thought OMG was like.

Speaker 2:Take a chill pill. Oh, this is one. Everyone, everyone, everyone said talk to the hand, oh yes.
Speaker 1:Cause the face ain't listening. Talk to the hand.
Speaker 3:Everyone you talk to the hand. I'm quite certain my dad still says that I'm pretty sure salty. I like that Salty. Oh wait, they even got another one in there. Look back off, I'm getting hella salty. What's it Salty, wait? So I said back off and get hella, hella salty.
Speaker 1:Now this, this definition of this word, definitely came from the 90s, but the word scrub scrub and the definition on here says a guy who thinks he's fine, who is also known as a passenger side of your best friends. Right, he still lives with his mom and has always broke.
Speaker 3:That's very specific.
Speaker 4:Wait, it's very specific.
Speaker 3:A guy who thinks he's fine, who know which is also known as a buster.
Speaker 1:So it's a buster who lives with his mom and is always broke. Yes, that is a scrub. Yeah, he's not getting any love from me for sure, definitely not getting any love. Shady what Wait? Weak Shady was something we came up with as to be somebody suspicious. Oh, that's sus now I don't know, but remember we talked about this in the podcast. We talked about some Gen Z slang. I think sus is shady, I don't know, but when.
Speaker 3:I see, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Sus is the new shady. She is knit on the on the list writer and all I think of is B red G, but was definitely not the 90s.
Speaker 2:Oh, early 2000s yeah.

Speaker 3:Yeah, what?
Speaker 1:was a.
Speaker 3:This came what was that movie?
Speaker 1:Oh, that was Malibu's Most Wanted. Malibu's Most Wanted B-Rad from Malibu, b-rad G. Well, when we come back, we can talk a little bit more about some local events.
Speaker 4:It's the R2RO Radio Show.
Speaker 1:Planet Radio 106.7, the best rock on the planet.
Speaker 2:So coming up. Next week we have Halloween, my youngest daughter's birthday.
Speaker 3:Wait, halloween's coming up. Yeah, it's in a couple days, tuesday.
Speaker 2:yeah, oh wow, it's Halloween weekend, man, and my youngest daughter's birthday is on Halloween, so everyone dresses up every year for her birthday. That's all on Halloween. So I actually have a couple other kids we know to have Halloween birthdays too, so it's pretty cool. But it starts getting into the question of because I have she'll be nine and my oldest is 13. So when do you stop dressing up, or when did they?
Speaker 1:when did y'all? I think I was an only child, though, so like I didn't have a younger sibling to go trick or treating with, so it was probably, did you? Say you think you were an only child? I think I think you did. As far as you know, my parents lied about a lot of things.
Speaker 2:My dad. I think I was an only child.
Speaker 1:My dad used to tell people I was his second favorite son. But at the same time he told me I was an only child. So I think I was probably an only child.
Speaker 3:That's pretty funny. My uncle always told everybody that his first wife, but that's still his wife, he says yeah, my first wife. Yeah, it is. It's still his first wife.
Speaker 2:He's only been there once, this is my first wife. That's funny, that's funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think I probably stopped from maybe 12, 13. I don't know. Somewhere around there, I think my daughter stopped around.
Speaker 3:Then too, at some point they it was the not dressing up, and then they just start walking with the adults instead of, or when there's a smaller one of the kids.
Speaker 2:So she would walk with the kids One of the smaller kids but yeah, last year they didn't dress up too much, and then my oldest, and then this year I think they're actually going to dress up and go walk around. But it's going to be more walking around than actually trick or treating. Right, Candy's not so important yeah as much as just going socialized pretty much.
Speaker 1:Now I might have stopped dressing up, probably right after the year that I wore a costume that made me the weird kids and then I just gave it up all together.
Speaker 2:You didn't have to ask anyone At that point, you just know.
Speaker 1:I was guess I was either 10 or 11 and I dressed up as Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 4:What.
Speaker 1:Yeah, like with the, with the whole messed up face mask and sweater and the glove with all of the blades and everything on it.
Speaker 3:So the 10 or 11, that's right around 90, 90. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:There was like girls that were like little princesses running around and dudes and little army outfits at worst with their little fake guns. And then mini Freddy Krueger walked in and they all just took off running. I stood in the corner and nobody talked to me and said there, we go.
Speaker 2:Maybe I went a little bit too far.
Speaker 1:So I yeah, I think I stopped wearing costumes after that year.
Speaker 2:I remember 12 or 13, my parents handing out candy and me hiding in various spots around near our front door and just scaring all the little kids that came over to get candy. Like just jumping out of the bush or being under the car and like sticking my hand out and grabbing their leg as they walk by man. I'm on top of the car on top, like on top of the truck, and then kind of jumping down. I remember doing a couple of those things.
Speaker 1:My uncle, rand, was a dude. He had always had the latest gadgets. So I'm talking like back in the 80s. At one point he did this thing where he put a speaker under the table that had like the candy on it and stuff, but he had a wireless microphone and he was standing over in a part of his yard and he was talking to people as they come up and like in scary voices and stuff and freaking people out because they didn't know where it was coming from.
Speaker 2:That's awesome Because there's no person you know, now you can do with a Bluetooth speaker, but yeah it wouldn't be that weird. Now, yeah, back then it's like oh dude, he always had this little stuff.
Speaker 1:Witchcraft. Uncle Rand, he's had the pot with the dry ice bubbling over.
Speaker 2:He had all, he did all the stuff. That's pretty neat. That's pretty neat.
Speaker 3:So my dad did sheet metal my whole life and one year he built me a 10 man costume and I won first place at the mall. So which mall? The North?
Speaker 1:Gate or.
Speaker 3:Well, now that you say that it was probably North Gate, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would think North Gate, that was probably North Gate.
Speaker 3:But I won first place and because I had the whole suit, he made me this barrel that went around me, all out of metal. I had that little cone hat.
Speaker 1:Look at them, you are lucky, but in Halloween from October.
Speaker 3:Hat would produce smoke. Get out of here. It wasn't smoke, it was baby powder. But I had a little button that I could hit and it would blow baby powder at the top. So when I hit that baby powder at the top it was over it was church, and that was it.
Speaker 1:That was it.
Speaker 3:That was it yeah.
Speaker 4:Wow, that's pretty impressive. That's pretty much all I remember.
Speaker 2:I don't remember going triggering, but I remember it in that I don't really remember trigger treating all that much either, but I do remember it scaring me too.
Speaker 1:I remember at some point in our lifetime was when the people started getting lazy and just putting the bowl out.
Speaker 2:That's something. Yeah, that's something kinda new. That was never. Every house pretty much had something, even if it was just the, the penny, uh, little Laffy, taffy's or whatever you know.
Speaker 1:Like the little small uh yeah, but there was always a head house that handed out the toothbrushes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and there was always one or two of those house.
Speaker 3:I saw some another day of some video where they put one potato in the candy at a time and they said so far, 36 potatoes have been taken. So they had the whole bag of candy and just one potato and they replaced the potato. When it gets taken, oh, I'm taking it. So I don't know where I'm going to be, but I'm bringing potatoes.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm in. I'm going to take the potato.
Speaker 3:I would take the potato.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I could throw that somewhere.
Speaker 3:Just a part of them running back saying I got a potato, Don't be the best part of it at all. Well, you heard that Laffy.
Speaker 1:I go find Eric. He has a potato.
Speaker 4:It's the R2RO radio show.
Speaker 1:Planet radio one to six point seven. The best rock on the planet is the R2RO show. Radio edit. This is Scott, and back with Chuck and Eric. Oh, I was looking at Chris's questions of the day the other day and one came up I knew might be divisive among this group is wearing the hoodie without a T-shirt underneath it Normal or not?
Speaker 3:Oh, I mean how else you wear it Absolutely, it's normal, right, you were, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I usually have a T-shirt under my hoodie. You wear a T-shirt and a hoodie, I wear a T-shirt under my hoodie. I always need a reason just in case I have to take the hoodie off. It gets hot. So, for instance, last week pitching lessons with my daughter's kind of chilly outside go inside for a pitching lesson. 20 minutes in I had to take the hoodie off, it was hot and there was no rolling up.
Speaker 4:No, no, no no, you're screaming at them, kids. Well, not even that, I don't know.
Speaker 2:There's a coach to talk to her. I don't have to say anything, I'm just a catcher.
Speaker 1:So uh, but I'm pulling up the sleeves, and it wasn't working.
Speaker 2:I was still too hot. There was no turning the air conditioner on on the sleeves, like it wasn't working, so I had to take the sleeves off and wear a T-shirt. Now we have the thinner hoodies where I can see wearing just that, without any kind of T-shirt.
Speaker 3:Okay, so that makes sense, because I don't have any thick hoodies, so what I was about?
Speaker 2:to say is it's just a T-shirt, but it's a T-shirt with sleeves and a hood.
Speaker 3:So I don't disagree. I don't disagree.
Speaker 2:So I wear it without even those. I wear it with T-shirt, cause sometimes I just want a T-shirt, but on my whole upper body.
Speaker 3:Most times, most times.
Speaker 2:I also can't wait till the end of the year.
Speaker 1:I can't wait till it gets to like the weather like we're having right now, Because I mean, I know the last couple of days been a little hot, but I'll finally get the bust out of my hoodies with a pair of shorts In the last few months.
Speaker 3:I don't know where I read this from, but I started sleeping in a T-shirt hoodie and it's some of the best sleep I've ever had. So I'll even wake up with a hood on still, but I am too.
Speaker 2:I need to sleep with no sleeves. I need like a.
Speaker 3:Wait, so you wear a white beater.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no, no no, no.
Speaker 1:Not a white beater, that's like a. I don't think they're called anymore, so sleeve us. I don't think that's what they're called anymore.
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:It's probably so. What's a white?
Speaker 2:Well, we just got finished talking about nine slangs. So, no, I don't like any sleeves. Like if I wear like a short sleeve shirt while I'm trying to sleep. No, no, I feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 3:I don't. I agree. I agree with the shirt sleeve. I don't do a shirt sleeve shirt.
Speaker 1:I don't do a shirt, sleeve shirt. But I think I'm the one that told you about the hoodie going to sleep, because I just did it one night and when it goes, man, I slept the whole night with the hood on.
Speaker 3:Yeah, all night and the hood was still on and I usually don't sleep real well, so I was like I'm willing to try anything to sleep, because I don't sleep that well, and so I'm like I'm gonna try that again. It's like a hug, and then you don't have to put the covers up there Like you, just take your arms out the covers.
Speaker 1:It really does sound like fun, and my wife sleeps with a heating blanket, so she was telling me about this today, while we were transfusing our platelets over, she had a blanket while y'all was doing that, that she keeps her house like in the low 60s, so that she, because she has to wear or sleep with a heated blanket on, because she just wants to breathe the cold air, she doesn't want to feel the cold.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I want to be cold. I want to be cold adjacent.
Speaker 2:And if I were to wake up with that heating blanket on me with a hoodie?
Speaker 3:and long as the oh no, that's way too much.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I would start thinking about like the desert or like summer nights. Do you have prises?
Speaker 3:What are those things called? It's not an emoji. What's the picture that?
Speaker 1:he made the avatar. The avatar, oh, the avatar.
Speaker 2:What he's hilarious. Why is he so bald? Oh, no man. Oh, he must have taken his picture with his head back.
Speaker 3:Man, but he's still using it.
Speaker 2:He's still using it.
Speaker 1:Y'all did see that he did pose who wants to be a guest on the power hour with me.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he should totally have Arturo on the power hour.
Speaker 1:We're officially requesting to be on the power hour with you.
Speaker 3:Only if we get Putin.
Speaker 1:Y'all heard him talking to the boss.
Speaker 4:That was where wait, wait wait, no, he's just his voice.
Speaker 2:His Putin voice is legit.
Speaker 3:Did you hear him do his Putin voice? I didn't hear it Earlier this week. I don't know what he was even talking about. That's the only part. It's in case you missed it on the show this morning and I'm scrolling through Facebook and then all of a sudden I hear him talking in some we're going to use air quotes and say Russian.
Speaker 1:Was he like pulling from, like the 80s Russian?
Speaker 4:movies, absolutely, I know exactly which accent he was using.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, man, that's funny. That's some good stuff.
Speaker 1:Man, chris, we love you. That's a wrap for us, good night, good night.
