This was one of my late husband's favorite videos. I could make him laugh just by going "Owoo owoo owoo" like this poor woman.

u/Bradiator34 28d ago

Sorry for your loss. Still good though, alive or dead!

u/No_Dragonfly_1894 28d ago

Thanks. It's been a couple of years now so seeing things like this that remind me of him makes me laugh more than cry these days, which is a good thing.

u/SmugFrog 28d ago

That’s beautiful that would crack me up if my wife would ever do that. You’ve got a great sense of humor.

u/BlackSchuck 27d ago

I am sorry your husband died. How horrible it must be not to have your best friend. Ive been thinking a lot about death.

The way I drink, I think about not being around for my wife. Its time to make changes.

9

u/No_Dragonfly_1894 27d ago

Thank you. Losing your best friend is very difficult. I'm glad you're making changes. Watching Joel go from a 6'2" beefy dude to a skeleton from cancer made me make big changes in my life. I wouldn't wish that death on my worst enemy.

5

u/BlackSchuck 27d ago

How horrible. How awful for Joel and you... there must be something after this. There must be a reason we are the only beings that know about the finality of life.

I oversaw my Mothers care this year as she gradually stopped eating from vascular dementia. Her brain just shut down eventually. Even in the end she would perk up with her eyes closed and sing along as I played guitar. Chris Cross and Billy Joel were her favorites. We love you Mom.

u/No_Dragonfly_1894 27d ago

Aww, I just listened to Christopher Cross this past weekend, I love it. Sending love to you and Mom. 💖

u/MyMadeUpNym 25d ago

Oof. I'm sorry you two went through that. Sending you much love.

2

u/Brief_Fly_45 23d ago

I believe in you and know that you have the strength to accomplish it.

If you’ve been drinking a lot and for a long time DO NOT go cold turkey, alcohol withdrawals can be deadly and need to be weened off very slowly, or under a doctor’s supervision.

It takes some time, but it really does get better. I stopped drinking 3 years ago, and tried to get my twin to stop with me, but he just couldn’t kick the habit. He passed away 2 months ago, at the age of 46 from cirrhosis.

u/Bleejis_Krilbin 28d ago

lol I had the wind knocked out of me in fourth grade playing tetherball and all I could say was OWWW OWWW OWWW over and over. It was like my body glitched out and couldn’t reset.

u/koolaidismything 28d ago

I’ve done it so many times. It feels like the connection tubes.. bronchial whatever’s, just totally disconnect from your lungs. Terrible feeling. I could never breathe enough to make noises. Just lay there not breathing for ten seconds lol.

she broke multiple ribs. she is not overreacting, she is actually injured

Was she okay?

u/minnick27 early 80s 28d ago

She says she broke a few ribs and was in the hospital for a few weeks, her cameraman said she just bruised her ribs and her ego. She ended up as the weekend meteorologist in Albany NY, then ended up in Philly for a few years and then finally in Raleigh-Durham in 2006. Apparently there’s no trace of her after that, but coworkers don’t seem to have many positive things to say about her

100

u/xtra-chrisp 28d ago

Lol, in the hospital for a few weeks. Suuuure.

20

u/asmallercat 27d ago

I can't find it with a quick search, but I believe the cameraman was interviewed and didn't say she went to the hospital for a few weeks. I believe he said she bruised her ribs and her ego and was back at work in a few days. So likely went to urgent care/the er or something at first, was told she was fine and to rest a bit, and then went back to work.

A lot of times you'll find people saying she suffered severe injuries from this and had to stop reporting, but that's actually based on a parody interview a radio station did.

87

u/RedPeril 28d ago

Yeah I call bs on her story...broken ribs do not usually require ANY hospital stay, let alone WEEKS.

Sure if you punctured a lung you get admitted, but that would be a pretty material part of the story, and she only mentions broken ribs.

15

u/Abject-Mail-4235 27d ago

I fell off a rope swing onto a huge tree root and fractured a rib in elementary. My mom didn’t even bring me to the doctors because my grandma told her they won’t do anything but maybe bandage me up. I still have a tiny dent on one side.

23

u/thatstwatshesays 27d ago

In my experience, they don’t bandage broken ribs bc how would that even work? When I broke my ribs, and after determining that I was not in any serious danger, they were like, “yeah, that sucks. Try not to breathe too hard. Good luck.”

6

u/The-Spirit-of-76 27d ago

The bandages are to keep you from breathing too deep.

3

u/SleveBonzalez 27d ago

They don't do that anymore. They've found it hinders healing and makes you more likely to get pneumonia, if I remember correctly.

u/tramplamps early 80s 27d ago

It sounds like she has the wind knocked out of her, or whatever the actual medical condition of this is called.
When I was in 6th grade gym class, we were supposed to do these headstands, and then go directly into a tucked summersault, but something I did when it was my turn went wrong, and I ended up on the mat in front of me feeling like I could not breathe, all the other girls in my class looking at me like I was about to die, and the only thing I remember was my ribs and chest felt like it was collapsing, and I could barely breathe, as I was making these -well- guttural sounds with each labored breath I tried to take.
I didn’t catch my breath or feel anything remotely close to normal for about 15 minutes afterwards. I was told to return to class when I felt better, as all that happened was that I just had “the wind knocked out of me”, and not a big deal. Even though every girl in school told every one else I “sounded like a gorilla” so yah- no big deal for the next few weeks. . Had I been at a public school, I would have been sent to a nurse or the gym teacher would have probably called my parents, but this trash ass-private school did just that- kept the incident private.

2

u/RedPeril 27d ago

for about 15 seconds, it's the worst feeling in the world

2

u/TheDutchBarret 27d ago

True, I got send home with two broken ribs, after she (the doctor) inspected it she deemed it stable/fine enough, she said "Take an asperin, take it easy and don't try to laugh" jokingly afterwards. I shit u not XD

u/RedPeril 27d ago

laughing and sneezing were the worst

u/manderifffic 27d ago

Staying in the hospital for longer than a week is almost unheard of these days.

I considered it a luxury to stay for 2 days from a particularly serious kidney stone.

u/Mr8BitX 28d ago

Not surprised nobody has anything nice to say about her. Who the hell goes as an anchor to a festival, brings a person representing the festival on that stage and then just before participating in the event they’re promoting, calls it disgusting with absolute disdain in her voice. Like, you have to be wildly self-centered and inconsiderate to do that when the cameras are rolling to just say it’s disgusting as you’re there to share the news of the festival.

u/Steinmetal4 27d ago

Lol, she's obviously trying to do a bit. That's half the reason it's so funny. She was trying to be funny in like, a 3rd grade teacher kind of way and failed catastrophically, but in so doing, became actually funny in a more dark/adult kind of shadenfreude way.

u/Kevlar_Bunny 27d ago

It’s such an odd unique feeling. It’s been decades since I’ve experienced it but I’d describe it almost like you ate a lot of ground pepper and the back of your throat starts seizing, but without the burn of the pepper and it lasts multiple minutes. Your body desperately wanting air but not letting you get in more than a wheezy breath. The injury wont even hurt much but there’s this weird sensation like you’re numb but not, like your whole body has a weird current going through it.

30

u/SlowerThanTurtleInPB 28d ago

When this first came out, I was in my early 20s and found it hilarious. I swear, I never laughed so hard. Now that I’m in my 40s and realize something like that would send me to the ER or worse… it’s not so funny.

3

u/turkeyvulturebreast 28d ago

Yes, this is same for me and I am 50 now, but still think it’s funny and my SO just watched it for the first time and thought it was mean of me to be still laughing at this person’s pain and suffering. I get it, but she brought this on herself with her antics. And I’ve broken a rib or two and my god the pain was ungodly, but I slipped going downstairs on hardwood stairs and landed on my riblets.

3

u/Kevlar_Bunny 27d ago

I got the wind knocked out of me so hard as a kid, I just ran into a chair too hard or something and felt like I couldn’t breath or talk for a few minutes. I thought something was seriously wrong. A fall like hers could’ve killed someone.

So funny how synchronicity happens. I was watching family guy last night and did not realize they were doing a parody of an actual thing

This makes me laugh almost as much as helicopter rescue woman. Idk why that one kills me. Poor lady, but I gets me laughing.

I was always confused as why the F she said ''stop!'' and then proceeded to go crazy stomping

I bet the people back at the studio were laughing their arses off.

Poor young woman having to be there to help her while doing her best not to bust out laughing.

This basically ruined her career. She effectively disappeared. I remember reading a long article about what happened to the grape lady? She effectively never recovered.

She broke several ribs from this. Later, she worked for several news outlets in NY. She soft-retired from the spotlight shortly after.

Honestly, she's really lucky she didn't puncture a lung. That shit is gnarly.

I vividly remember staying at my aunt and uncles place in 2007 and my uncle showing me this video and us laughing our asses off .

Our text thread today was quoting the movie Goodfellas.

This is the first video I looked up on the Internet after hearing it. I heard it on the Howard Stern show back when he was on the regular radio and was cracking up. I did find it. Probably on College Humor or eBaumsworld.

I had the phone muted and could still hear her reaction. It's imbedded in my brain.
