Does anybody know where I can find episode 11? It appeared in my YouTube subscriptions, but when I went to watch it, it had been removed by YouTube.

Epiosde 11 has been uploaded to Rumble.

https://rumble.com/v40gxv1-the-gracious-two...e-show-011.html

The Gracious Two speak to George Taylor about a heart attack he suffered while hiking with Chad Gracey and nearly died had Chad not performed CPR for 15 minutes until EMTs arrived. George was hospitalized for over two weeks and required open heart surgery, now relying on medications and lifestyle changes to manage his health.

Obesity strongly correlates to cardiac issues, as George observed most cardiac patients being older and overweight. Diet and exercise are emphasized as personal responsibilities for health, with concerns around Alzheimer's as a limiting factor for aging. Medications cannot substitute for lifestyle changes in risk reduction.

Live often shut down talk shows by energizing audiences. Chad preferred their 1994 Woodstock performance for its spirit. Stories from Letterman to Dennis Miller varied in host engagement before and after performances. Their musical magic transcends personal matters.

How is Rumble compared to YouTube? I've had nothing but issues lately with YouTube's app, especially when I go to comment under a video. There is a painful lag and my phone's keyboard wants to act up.
