I have no recollection of it.\u00a0 It bugs me.\u00a0 It makes me wonder.”<\/p>\n On the books, Brett suffered “three or four concussions” in his career.\u00a0 But he took a lot more hits that would be considered concussions today.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He said, quote, “When you have ringing of the ears, seeing stars, that’s a concussion.\u00a0 And if that’s a concussion, then I’ve had hundreds, probably thousands, throughout my career, which is frightening.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brett says a doctor reached out to him after his retirement and wanted to examine him for signs of CTE.\u00a0 And he told the guy, quote, “No disrespect.\u00a0 But I’d rather not know.”<\/p>\n All that said, Brett is glad that he played and, in the podcast he insisted he, quote, “wouldn’t trade any of it . . . the good and the bad.”<\/p>\n \u00a0________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOOD NEWS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A video of a homeless opera singer belting out a song in an L.A. subway station went viral this week.\u00a0 And it’s already completely changed her life . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Her name is Emily Zamourka.\u00a0 She’s originally from Russia.\u00a0 And she used to make money playing her VIOLIN on the street.\u00a0 Then some jerk tried to steal it and broke it.\u00a0 Which was a big deal, because it was worth about TEN GRAND.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was also how she made a living.\u00a0 So her only choice was to start singing for money.\u00a0 And it turns out she has a great voice too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A cop in L.A. happened to see her in the subway recently.\u00a0 Then the LAPD posted the video on Twitter, and it blew up.\u00a0\u00a0A reporter in L.A. tracked her down.\u00a0 And she was shocked when someone told her she’d been on TV.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since then, she’s found a place to stay . . . someone’s giving her a new violin . . . and someone started a\u00a0Go Fund Me\u00a0that’s raised a ton of money already.\u00a0 As of last night, it was over $76,000.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Good News Update:<\/strong>\u00a0 She had her first gig the other day at a Little Italy festival, and got paid\u00a0$700 for it.\u00a0 PLUE a Grammy-winning producer wants to work with her.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong> <\/u><\/p>\n BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [67] Sharon Osbourne, TV personality<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [26] Scotty McCreery, country singer\/\u201dAmerican Idol\u201d Season 10 winner (2011)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Do You Behave Like Other People When You’re Alone?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A recent survey asked people if they enjoy being alone.\u00a0 And only 7% said they HATE it.\u00a0 But do you behave the same way the rest of us do when no one else is around?\u00a0 Here are seven questions, and how people answered them . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ____________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WEARABLE CHAIR <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A company is selling a WEARABLE CHAIR that straps to the back of your legs and butt, and automatically folds out when you sit down.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s called the LEX chair, and they got funding for it on Kickstarter last year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And they claim you can do normal activities while you’re wearing one, even running.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The company behind them also claims they promote perfect posture . . . protect your knees and back . . . and that being able to sit down anywhere will revolutionize the way people work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They’re available for preorder through their website,\u00a0but they’re pretty expensive at $400 EACH.

It really is. If I say there’s only one challenge to it is condensing the guest list. Right from the beginning it was like putting a wedding\u00a0 guest list together and which family member . . .\u00a0 you have to either invite everybody or elope. But we’ve only got limited time, and it’s very, very hard to have certain people who are very good friends of mine say, ‘What the? What the? Waiting on the call and nothing.’ So, I thought how do I get around this problem, and then the idea of themes came up, so at least there was some type of criteria to be able to put a guest list together. Otherwise, this show would be days and days long if I invited everybody I wanted.”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE TAKE GREAT SONGWRITING ADVICE TO HEART<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Tyler Hubbard<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Brian Kelley<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Florida Georgia Line<\/strong>\u00a0are as known for their stellar songwriting these days as they are for being a hit-making duo.
