I'm sorry for even asking you this question. I feel weird about it, but were you wearing anything that
00:06
allowed you to not have to go to the bathroom for 25 hours? Again, I don't want to send a doctor to
00:11
get mad at me. I don't want my doctor to get mad at me, but I really spent time dehydrating myself
00:15
beforehand so I did not have to go to the bathroom. You didn't have to go to the bathroom at all for
00:19
25 hours. Again, my challenge was that my strategy was to stop eating. I think I stopped eating on
00:31
Friday and then to stop drinking the night before I started on Monday. And that had its benefits
00:39
and it had its really downsides. And so instead of fighting or figuring out how to go to the bathroom,
00:44
I ended up, I think, really unfortunately dehydrating myself. And I'm a former athlete,
00:48
so I know when you get dehydrated, you get a lot of cramps. That was the biggest thing I was
00:52
fighting was that different muscle groups were starting to really cramp up. And every once in a
00:58
while, I have like a spasm or something. So it's just a lot of physical challenges definitely
01:03
making it that long for a guy.
