I called Bianca yesterday and without giving up too much HIPAA, she's on the table at a doctor's office. I was getting an EKG. She's getting an EKG. Oh, it's just no big deal. EKG what just doing an EKG and then I said to her this is the funniest thing I said to her I go where are you like what how she goes uh what hospital are we in right now she's asking the lady and I'm like you don't even know where you're at and she's getting some follow-up appointment done then I just heard in our pre-show meeting you had to rush yourself to the hospital again

was it for the heart thing no it was a two-time yesterday so I was after my doctor appointment I went to my grandpa's house and we were eating like seeds and stuff and i have a severe nut allergy so i'm very aware but yesterday i accidentally ate a nut i think it was like mixed in this little seed mixture here and the second i ate it i'm like oh here we go like it's happening i knew the allergic reaction was happening right away but my grandpa was like nah you're fine just sit down drink some tea you'll be fine and i'm like no i'm going crazy and this is the first time i've ever had allergic reaction not at home so like my parents went there to help me like oh wow my grandpa didn't know what to do he didn't even have benadryl in his house so i'm calling my parents i'm like i don't even know what to do and they're like go to cvs go get benadryl and i'm

like okay so i'm like doing this all my own and then funny just go get some benadryl all right

you're okay but i'm literally at cvs like falling to the ground i can't get up so i'm driving myself to the urgent care after because i'm like i have to go to the hospital and this is the first time

i've ever had to do anything on my own like go you mean on your own go like actually go to the I take care of myself. I take care of yourself.

Like, my parents usually do everything for me. They're always giving me the medicine. Yeah. And they're driving me everywhere.

I mean, you're what, 21, 22? 22.

But I should be old enough to learn how to do this on my own.

Who feels like they're old enough to go to the hospital driving themselves? I would have freaked out at that.

I mean, when you're having an allergic reaction, you probably should have somebody. Right. Yeah. As somebody who's gone to the hospital for allergic reactions.

Yeah, but I feel like with everything, I still have my parents, like, do everything for me. Like, my parents were at my doctor's appointment yesterday for me. Like, when I was at the heart doctor. Yeah. That's what I was doing, EKG. They should be there for that, though. You think? Oh, yeah. I make my parents come to all my doctor's appointments with me.

I don't know how to do it on my own. Listen, adulting is one thing, but if you're going to the hospital and you have heart issues, I want... Oh, boy. Hold on. Flat line. That's a flat line. There's a flat line. I'm a ghost. If any of my kids and my two older boys are older than you, Jacob's 25, Joe is 28 or 29, I would, like, Chelsea and I would rush to them, you know, if we knew that they had some kind of a thing. So your parents are cool to be there, but why were they not going to be able to be there for you when you were having the nut allergy?

Well, because both of my parents were working, so I was just on my own, and, like, my grandpa's like, I'll go with you, but that man is not speaking English, so I'm like, there's no

way you're going to be any healthier. You'd be trying to figure it out.

And he can't drive, so I ought to be driving him anyways.

I did not know that you have such a severe nut allergy, where if you're around nuts...

Is it all nuts or tree nuts, or what is it? No, it's all nuts, but only if I eat them.

Is it chunky peanut butter? Because it sounded like there was a nut caught in your throat.

I didn't have peanut butter, actually.

Wow. So wait a second. So you cannot be around, you cannot ingest nuts.

Yes, and I knew at a second.

But you're not the kid that has to sit at the table that's got the special nut on it.

But when I was in school, they made me sit there anyways. Did they really? I'm like, y'all are so stupid. I'm like, I look so stupid sitting at the peanut allergy table by myself.

So how does it work? Because my mind is like one or two things as far as like my knowledge of allergic reactions. It's like either you'll throw clothes up and you die or as Will Smith on Hitch where your face starts to blow up.

Yeah, do you want to see what I look like? I didn't even look like a normal person.

So you have the face blow up.

I look like a Teletubbies.

I'm being so funny. That's what happens to me.

She is so 22, she's taking selfies of herself dying.

No, I want to see. She's going to be in the hospital, and my mom's like,

Did you check in, too? Did you, like...

I did check in. I was sitting over the table, like, bending now. I'm like, I can't breathe. Can you just please give me a room? I don't know what to do here, honestly. And they're like, ma'am, we need to send you to the back right now. I'm like, oh, okay.

Yeah, but hold on real quick. I'm updating my story.

Let me send some selfies real quick. This is what I look like. Let me see it.

You look Asian. I am Asian. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, Bianca. Let me see. Oh, my God, Bianca. You look like Suni Lee.

Yeah, I was not in my baddie era. I look good now, though. But anyways.

Wow.

Yeah, that was the first time I heard it.

You look terrible. You look old. Oh, my God. You look like you had a hard life. Buddy. Wow, Kev. She's got a nap. I'm, like, dying. She almost dying. Exactly. Your lips dry as hell, too. Okay, you can tell. Look at her lips.

Your lips are dry right now.

Look at her lips. That's the froth from our Starbucks.

Who zooms in that close?

You got outside lips. Who zooms in that close? Like they need to pave your road.

Your lips are dry right now.

I just told you that's the Starbucks froth. No, it's dry.

Noah, what's going on? Hi.

If she's having an allergic reaction that bad, she definitely should call for 911.

Yes.

Because the more you're exposed to an allergen, the worse the reactions get over time.

Wait, do you have an Epi? Do you Epi? My brother carries it. Why are you carrying an Epi pen? That doesn't even make sense. I have one with me all the time. I don't know.

I never do.

Do you want to go to the hospital? But no, in some cases, it would take longer for the ambulance to get to her than she was actually close enough to drive herself, though. She was right there by the hospital.

Okay.

So pull it in. It was easier.

Some fire departments are starting to get people more EMF trained and actually have paramedics with drug box on the fire engines. So you might not actually have to wait for an ambulance because depending on what city you're in, the engine crew will be able to get to you faster than the ambulance and they'll be able to help get you stabilized.

Listen, I'm just worried about her and just worried about the fact that this poor girl doesn't carry an EpiPen with her. She has her brother carry it. Like that makes no sense. That should be in your purse.

I know. It was crazy though too because the doctor was like, you know, you should just take shots that have nuts in it so that way you don't, you're not allergic anymore. He's like, baklava tastes so good. You need to eat it. And I was like, this is not the time. This is the doctor in the emergency room. The doctor in the emergency room telling me to eat nuts to get myself immune. Well, but that's like a whole process of desensitizing your body to it. Don't do it on your own. Like, actually do it.

What hospital? I don't even say what hospital. They probably advertise. But I just don't want to. That's crazy.

I honestly don't know where I was either. I was just going to my maps.

It's amazing. So she's in the heart doctor in the middle of the day. This is prior to her, you know, having her allergy. and she's laying on the table and she picks up my phone and i go why'd you pick up my phone she goes because i figured it was an emergency and i said i was calling her just basically to tell her one quick thing about our social media that was not an emergency and she's so she was more focused on the show emergency than she was on her own emergency then she started panicking me that she's on a table with an getting an ekg what did the ekg show when i got on there did i soothe you

No, so they had to redo it again Because they're like, you're in bars I stressed you out with some I heard stress I was like, oh my god, Mojo's calling me

Can we post the pic? Some people, they want to see the picture

They want to see me looking rough

They want to see me look like a Teletubbie

Ew, actually, my lips are so crossy I'm not lying I gotta photoshop this first No, no, no Bianca really does have nine lives though

It's unreal Well, I mean, like six at this point. Yeah. Tia, what's up, Tia?

So when my work van door slammed my head in between the door frame and the door, I for sure took a selfie before and after stitches.

Man, so you're the Instagram, I'm in the hospital, I'm telling everybody poster.

Yeah, I Facebooked it, but yeah. Facebooked it.

I always love it. Worst day ever, and then people are at Henry Ford Hospital, and I'm like going, why are you telling this? Let's make it the best day ever and have the doctors take care of you without you having your phone out.

I mean, it was a wild story. If there was no picture, how could I explain it?

Yeah, that is kind of a crazy one. You closed the work van door on your head.

No, so I was literally getting in my work van, and the wind closed the door on my head, hitting my left side and smacking the right side against the door frame.

Did you know this? Lydia brought up.

pair that you told her that you broke your eyelid. I did not know you could break an eyelid.

It broke my eyelid open like instant. Split it.

That's craziness. Well, you be careful. I always worry about that sometimes, like when it's really, really windy that the door's going to slam on my leg or arm or something.

I probably still have PTSD. I bet you.

Yeah. All right. Well, be careful, okay?

Yeah, for sure.

All right. You too. Take care of yourself.
