## Resource

What do you do when you break your leg mid-concert in front of thousands of fans? If you're Dave Grohl, you get stabilized backstage and come right back out — seated in what fans would later call the "Rock Throne" — and finish the show anyway. In this episode of Are You Shitting Me? Something I Learned While Avoiding Real Responsibilities , Brett discovers there are levels to toughness, and he is not on any of them. Dave Grohl broke his leg falling off stage in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2015, and instead of calling it a night, he turned it into one of the most legendary comeback moments in rock history — continuing to tour with the Foo Fighters while recovering from a legitimate, medical-grade fracture. Meanwhile, Brett once hurt his back sleeping wrong and questioned his entire existence for 45 minutes. This one's short, wild, and 100% true. Like, subscribe, leave a comment, and maybe — just maybe — Chuck comes back someday. Are you shitting me?
