Steiner reflected on the injury, noting that he initially didn’t consider it serious until it rapidly escalated.

You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:

On going to the hospital over the injury: “It was really strange because I started feeling cold, and I went to eat and my throat–it was very hard to swallow. Finally I jumped in the shower, take a hot shower and nothing would work and I started shaking, and finally I called the ambulance…I actually went to the same hospital that Bruiser Brody died [in]… I talked to the [doctor] and he says, ‘You’ve got five hours to live.’”

On going int a coma following surgery: “I remember waking up to them pulling the chord, the breathing tube out of my throat…but I come to find out I was in a coma for two days. It didn’t feel like any other surgery that I had.”
