Edward T went into the hospital with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Diabetic whatsahuh? He and Hilary break down what happened. Did mama really say there'd be days like this?
Mama Said
Mama said there'd be days like this, but seriously? Edward T went into the hospital in February 11 with Diabetic Ketoacidosis. Diabetic whosawhatsis? What the heck is that? He and Hilary break down what the heck happened and more importantly, what was ETM doing (or not doing) to get in this condition in the first place? A discussion of self-care ensues.
After listening to Hilary talk about how "exciting" European Futbol is, Edward T attempts to explain to her why American Football is better (which it is). As always with these two, easier said than done.
Chalk Talk
Hilary continues to tell Edward T how "exciting" European Futbol is, and he's tired of it. So they sit down in front of the tube with an NFL game playing, and ETM attempts to explain why loves football and even more, makes an attempt to explain to Hilary HOW the game is played. Which he quickly realizes is more than a daunting task. But plow forward they do!
As usual, the conversation meanders away from the main topic to relationships in the past. Turns out ETM never dated a cheerleader while playing football in high school (because he never dated anyone at all, really) and Hilary's first boyfriend was football player!! What the hell, man?! Find out more, tune in!
Good video explaining the basic rules of football:

Good amateur video of the game being played while the kids are talking, Seattle Seahawks vs Atlanta Falcons and CLICK HEREto see Matt Hasselbeck get tackled in the end zone, the subject of much of this show's conversation.
Another reason why football is great: Cheerleaders.
Edward T and Hilary discuss a fight they had off the show in which Hilary had some pretty strong words for ETM. How did he react?
Nothing Personal
Edward T and Hilary slowly meander their way to a topic this time around. ETM has decided that the only way he can deal with Seattle is to imagine he is in the Star Trek episode called "Specter of the Gun", in which no matter what the lads from the U.S.S. Enterprise do, they cannot make anything work for them, and they cannot escape.
They wind up discussing the artistic merits of both William Shatner and Star Trek. Finally, they get around to discussing the big fight they had on the telephone one night. Edward T gave his opinion to Hilary one Friday night when they were both in a bad mood, and she had some choice words for Mr. Martin. How does he react?
And finally, they discuss conflict in general, with Edward T telling Hilary that the way he has discovered to deal calmly with emotional conflicts is to simply take nothing personally. What does she think about all this? Find out!
