I had 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:52.160 I got COVID in July, and I admitted to the 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:58.480 emergency room on the thirtieth. And then midway through August 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.480 becom me d coma took me up to what they 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:10.400 call an XNOL machine.

There were a few times I 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.320 thought I was gonna die. I don't remember that because 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:50.080 I was in a coma. But uh and then I 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:54.920 was in the hospital until the end of December because 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.560 I couldn't really move. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:58.200 Mm hmmm. 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:00.600 After seeing all. 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:05.720 Of that, have you ever I watched SpongeBob? 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:07.680 Yes, I have. 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.079 Do you know that guy talking about first they broke 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.000 my arms and then they broke my leg.

Yeah, did you 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.839 suffer any permanent brain damage from the coma? 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:50.680 You know, well, that's a hard question to answer, not 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.040 as that is what I've heard other people have suffered, 0:05:53.040 --> 0:06:01.640 but it does sometimes affect my ability to recall words 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.160 like all usually haven't if I get kind of excited 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.719 about something that I'm talking about, oh as, I will 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.440 just lose the words I'm trying to say and like 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:21.680 lose track of that entire thought. And I was going 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:22.360 to disappear. 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:23.920 Mm hmmm. 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:27.120 Mm hmm. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.640 Do you feel like so you you at some point 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.479 in this you said you you thought you were going. 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:39.679 To die, you know the doctor so I was okay, 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:42.400 I totally unconscious. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:46.560 They didn't even know. Has this given you I'm curious 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.200 overall what kind of perspective this has given you in life? 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.000 Like have you are you take do you take anything? 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.920 Away from this experience that you have installed into your 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.279 programming or like, what do you what do you feel 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:02.440 like this gave you perspective wise? 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:09.200 I mean, I feel like I just wasted a lot 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:14.720 of time in my twenties. Mm hmmm, specifically at the 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.680 job I was working at, and it's not really something 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:23.760 I wanted to do, but I was, you know, I 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:25.800 I was a mechanic. I was good at it, but 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.960 I didn't like doing it. And so I'm definitely thinking 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.800 about a clear change and I try to make every 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:40.080 day do something memorable and important and so it's not 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.440 just a waste of a day. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:43.880 M hm. 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:47.160 Hm. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.640 I guess I haven't seen a lot of people in 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:55.160 their twenties kind of a whole lot. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.480 So the Koma gave you some perspective on you feeling 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:03.320 like you haven't been using your time as effectively as 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:08.960 as you want. And it says you're thirty now. Yeah, 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:13.800 and you turned thirty while you were in the candy 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.280 Land or wherever you go when you get a coma. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:17.880 Yeah. 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.640 So yeah, I mean I have a few dreams that 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.200 I can remember from the coma. 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:24.560 Can you tell us that. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:35.839 For sure? Yeah? The little wacky because of the drugs. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:41.120 The next one I'm render is after the rock Cluny incident, 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:50.000 transported like air lifted to a hospital that was on 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:55.000 a boat, like one of those giant shipping into airboats. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:59.520 They had turned it into like a mobile hospital or 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:05.920 whatever isn't I don't know. And while I was there 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:11.440 and they were like, you know, working on me, Satan 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:16.800 was the captain like the boat, like you know that 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:23.319 skiing red horns tail, you know. Satan, he h came 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.760 and visited me and he's like, hey, I'm the captain. 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.600 He had like a captain hat on. He's like, hey, 0:09:29.600 --> 0:09:33.560 I'm the captain of this boat. Like I know, I'm Satan. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.559 I got a bad rap and I'm trying to turn 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.200 my life around. So I made this hospital boat to 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.480 help people. And I was like, oh cool, thanks Satan. 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:53.800 And he helped me with like physical therapy stuff because 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:58.199 I like lost an arm in my dream and uh 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:03.560 that one point they took like the insides of my body, 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.400 like my got some hard and munkle and stuff and 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.280 they took it out and they gave me like a 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:15.439 you've seen Rick and Morty m you know, the the 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.640 gear head. Do you as like a glass body with 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:22.040 all the gears inside of it.

Oh yeah, go ahead. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.440 Did this give you a greater appreciation for Satan? 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:48.840 Yeah? 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.599 I mean yeah. Think it's a bad rap, you know. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:54.440 Hm. 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.960 I mean I had a grown up you know, until 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:05.280 I turned about eighteen and like a very Jesus centric 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:16.400 cults and uh, you know, so I kind of haven't 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:21.160 been a big fan of Jesus since then, so you know, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.600 I'm down for down for some Satan. 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:27.480 Mhmm. 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:33.200 It's funny. They tell you that Jesus will come when 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.120 you need him the most, but sometimes Satan shows up 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.079 and I came in. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:45.560 He's he's doing the boat out there. 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.080 Sorry, it's hard being the captain of a hospital on 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:53.520 a shipping container. But if anyone can do. 0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:59.520 It, Satan, Satan. Yeah. 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.440 Tell me about this other dream. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:11.520 Oh, I had dream with my sister that she produced 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.960 the Super Bowl, which is really weird because she doesn't 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:17.959 like football and I'm not not a huge fan either, 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:21.080 But it was like a really big deal and like 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.800 a she got like super stressed out, but then she 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.640 got to like do a bunch of cool stuff she 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.240 wanted to do. Like one of her favorite bands is 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.520 the Killers, and she like got to produce an album 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:38.800 for them because she did the super Bowl. I'm not 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:44.480 sure how that works, but yeah, I mean that those 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:49.520 are the big three dreams. I mean definitely the most 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:56.200 time air quotes because I don't know how long the 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.839 dreams were the most. The one that took up the 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.880 most time was the Satany boat. 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.760 Uh, so you got to spend a lot of time 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:06.280 with Satan. 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:10.800 You know, he was around.

I'm like, man, I really 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.320 do take for granted the fact that I have working kidneys. 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.440 It is nothing. That's something I never thought about before. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:41.240 That's for sure. 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:45.600 I say with full confidence that I have never I 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.040 this is the first time I think I'm ever thinking 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.720 about my kidneys. It is right here, right now. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:59.280 Tell me what it really sucks. Dialysis really sucks because 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.399 I feel like taking your blood out of your body 0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:05.679 and you get really cold anyway, but you're also like 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:10.240 sweating and then you're just you have no energy the 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.399 rest of the day. It's like you're really taxing. Uh 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.240 ordeal you wait to wait. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:19.959 I'm sorry, I'm an idiot. You did have to do 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:21.680 dialysis or you didn't have to do it. 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.200 When I came out of a coma, for a few weeks, 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.200 maybe a month, I was still doing dialysis. 0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.760 Yeah, are you doing it anymore? 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:32.800 No? 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.960 No, Before I even got out of the hostel, I 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.400 was back to normal kidneys. 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:42.879 Okay, good. You know what's funny. I was just talking 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.920 to someone about this today. I was just thinking about this. 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.840 There's this like conflicting idea in my head about comparison 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:58.000 to other people and their problems, like like this idea 0:18:58.080 --> 0:19:01.120 that oh, well, there's you know, children starving in Africa 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:06.760 there's you know, people whose kidneys are fucked up, so 0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:12.000 my problems actually aren't that bad. And there's two there's 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.439 two conflicting thoughts I have about that. The one is 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.760 that you know, everyone's problems are relative, and just because 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.879 you know someone else has it worse than you doesn't 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.440 mean that your problems aren't valid. And I think there's 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:30.960 truth to that. But also, you know, look, there are 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:35.360 children starving in Africa, and there are people whose kidneys 0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:37.919 are fucked up, and my kidneys are pretty good and 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:43.080 I'm not starving, so you know, I should shut the 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.920 fuck up and be happy. 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:50.640 I think there's a balance to that, Like, there's a balance, 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:54.840 but I think I think the. 0:19:54.400 --> 0:20:00.119 Understanding that things could be way worse I understand and 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:05.280 why that's commonly looked at as a toxic thing, but 0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.440 it's also pretty fucking true. 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.040 Oh yeah, I mean it's a good it's a good 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:17.239 thing to like kind of, you know, realize that your 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:21.640 phonems are real, but also like keep yourself in check, like, oh, 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:27.359 I had a meal today and someone didn't, ye know, mhm, 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.600 Or I could take a place today and somebody couldn't. 0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:37.600 Yeah, So I mean, listen, after having gone through dialysis, 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.040 and now that you don't anymore, do you on a 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.440 regular basis, go, man, fucking hell, yeah, I'm not doing 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.920 that anymore.

It was like 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:22.000 a I guess, like a thropple or whatever, and I 0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.159 like thinks it was very like weird. 0:24:25.840 --> 0:24:27.960 I remember exactly who you are? 0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:31.439 Are you being so for real?
