BIG DADDY LIVE

David is BACK in the studio. Bryan is still learning how to say Martita's last name. Are you kidding? You are a CA native, Bryan - good grief. ;) Food and music is our show today - Martita inspiring us to create, she prefers to create in the kitchen with music. Bryan recalled with sweaty palms the feeling of receiving the packet in the mail from the IRS for an audit. Funny thing is, they ended up owing HIM money. Too funny. We still worry. They really aren't scary. Stay respectful, stay calm, they are humans. Catch up on Martita's season on Food Network - Season 8 is all Martita - she rocks it! Matita talks about gaining weight by testing and tasting. This goes with Bryan's big reveal of his recent bariatric surgery and gall bladder removal. The other guest on this show was his doctor. We also talked about Bryan's mom, Helen - remember her from Thanksgiving - she passed recently and it's been a devastating time as he and his mom were very close. She was a remarkable, fun, loving mother. She will be missed terribly.  Because of the timing, Bryan didn't take care of himself - He's reminding us - after surgery - you need to follow the orders and take care of yourself or you will fall terribly and not be able to cope with the rest of  life going on around you.
