0:34

Lorenna Blanca and huge mega shoutouts

0:41

0:47

Big Shoutouts doesn't eat anything.

0:51

He doesn't eat any breakfast

0:55

unless it has hopping hot sauce on it.

0:59

It's like he knows, he knows what's the best

1:04

in the world. Check out the jingle

1:07

- Hopping hot sauce. It's the best hot sauce. Hopping Hot sauce.

1:14

It's the best sauce in the world. The world.

1:19

- I'm telling you, jingle is the thingo.

1:24

So I'm really drugged

1:26

and I'm really, yeah,

1:29

hopping hot sauce is the best hot sauce in the world.

1:34

Shout out. Shout out. Jasper.

1:37

Cuts in my hands have been getting

1:43

infected and filling with green goop.

1:47

It's, what's the matter with me podcast?

1:52

I drained them and they're healing.

1:58

We got the wine delivery man

2:01

and the wine delivery man was in his twenties,

2:07

his mid twenties maybe,

2:10

and he was really upset about global,

2:14

global warming. Things aren't really pleasant anymore. He said.

2:21

I felt for him. I feel for you.

2:24

I said We still have a case of Bulgar toilet

2:29

paper that has no

2:33

perforations on it and ripping it feels like

2:38

tearing up someone's nice resume.

2:43

Remember in 2020 there wasn't toilet paper.

2:47

We bought a case of Bulgarian toilet paper.

2:52

It was like riffing a sheet of Bristol board.

2:57

It was 80% of normal size

3:02

so it didn't fit properly on the roll

3:07

when a disaster. I watched the Eras movie with Coco,

3:14

so I know about Taylor Swift now

3:18

I watched a third of it. It's really long. It's longer than that.

3:25

Martin Scorsese movie I think.

3:27

And let, let me check that you don't want

3:30

to get this thing wrong. Okay. Killers

3:35

of the flower Moon runtime.

3:38

Three hours and 26 minutes.

3:43

Okay, two hours and 45 minutes.

3:47

So not, not as bad as I thought.

3:51

I thought she was going into that

3:54

really long movie and I wasn't a fan of that really long movie.

4:02

It was too, too much. We saw that.

4:06

But this is about Taytay.

4:09

I know about Taylor Swift.

4:12

I knew about like, well Gary toilet paper. We have a case.

4:18

I watched the Errors movie with Coco,

4:23

so I knew about it. She kind of used some slang

4:29

and I was worried.

4:32

I, I didn't, uh, the different slang

4:36

and different vocal thing in different areas,

4:41

different eras of Taylor.

4:44

I figured out my Disney plus logging C credentials.

4:51

So yeah, I, I watched it, it was cool.

4:54

So I started having severe face pain

4:59

and that's bad. It happened just one time before bedtime

5:05

and it was shocking. It was strong. And then in the morning

5:12

I awoke having many times

5:17

severe face pain, electrical

5:22

to my cheek and to my teeth, my upper

5:27

jaw by my canine

5:30

and into my nose, into my cheek spasming.

5:38

So I started taking gabapentin kind of quickly

5:44

and the result is I'm really drugged.

5:48

I took gabapentin in the morning at 5:00 AM

5:52

7:00 AM 11 45, 1 0 5, 2 o'clock.

5:58

So I was pretty well out of it.

6:02

It's sedative drugs so it

6:07

sedates the nerve, it calms the nerve and it works.

6:12

But it also calms like my thoughts

6:16

and it's hard to see.

6:19

I'm having visual kind of flashes in my vision.

6:25

Surgery is next week

6:29

it'll be my third RF rise autotomy.

6:33

And on top of it I got no coffee

6:38

'cause coffee isn't good for a nerve

6:41

and no ibuprofen 'cause surgery can have ibuprofen for a week.

6:50

And right now I have this broken rib

6:53

and I could really use some ibuprofen.

6:57

It's pretty harsh. No coffee, no ibuprofen.

7:02

Like no thoughts. No thoughts. It's rough.

7:07

It reminds me of earlier in,

7:11

what's the matter with me? I had said my thoughts bubble up in my brain

7:18

through my, from my brain.

7:21

Like through, yeah, it's like that.

7:24

My thoughts bubble up through mud.

7:28

That's what it's like when there's like cognitive

7:32

stuff like there is right now.

7:35

And it's 'cause I'm on so much medication.

7:39

I've gotta get to my surgery date, have surgery

7:44

and come off this medication.

7:47

I felt for the wine delivery man.

7:50

I was like, man, it's a tough outlook

7:55

for you because you've grown up with this

8:00

climate Armageddon philosophy.

8:06

So you're like, it's not pleasant anymore.

8:10

I am grown up ingrained CRI climate, Armageddon.

8:15

It's rough. I feel for you.

8:19

I don't know if I can make a full, what's the matter

8:23

with me this week? I don't know if I should. So I'm gonna stop it.

8:29

I'm check you next time. Thank you for.
