## Transcript

When you're feeling good and you're cruising through the daylight hours, you're singing Neil Young songs to yourself and counting in French and German and Spanish. And just passing the time in, you know, sort of metronomic ways, but when you're suffering and I have to say that through the nights I had two nights of full suffering this time, with the mask, with the salt water. Now you're not thinking of anything, you're just coping and surviving and your team is somehow helping you make it through. Every fifteen minutes, every hour, let's not give up. This time, the journey, the, the destination really brought me into a state of euphoria so, yeah, I'm a little beat up.

My face, I've got lacerations from the salt water exposure and I sound a little funny, the inside of my mouth. But other than that, all of the emotional high is wiping out any physical problem there is. I think I'm a person who represents A, you never give up. You find a way. If something really is important to your heart, you, you look and see what's inside yourself, then you find a way. I'm also 64, and a lot of this country are baby boomers. And I think people are looking to me to say, hell no, I'm, I'm not old. When I'm 90, I'll get in a walking chair, look at the sunset. The company that builds the Olympic pools these days, they're called Mercer and they have built a pool for me that we're gonna to install in New York City in October.

October eighth through the tenth, I'm gonna swim for 48 hours in a lane, and next to me are gonna be all kinds of notable New Yorkers, the public at large. And we're gonna raise money for those poor people who lost their homes to Hurricane Sandy. Then we're gonna take that pool to the Boston Marathon. At the, at the anniversary of that, that terror attack. And, we're gonna swim there to help those people recover for what they're going through. Then we're gonna go to Moore, Oklahoma, and do the same thing for those people who are gonna be decades rebuilding their lives. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
