Hey guys, welcome to episode number 5007 of the Industrial Strength Show.

My apologies for the late drop this week.

Your boy's been out of commission for the past Tuesday.

I get, it feels, man, it feels like the past week, but I guess it's only been Tuesday,

Wednesday, two and a half days.

Very long story short.

It's not even a great story, but I am standing here still in quite a bit of pain. I'm actually packed

in ice. I am, I'm, I'm recording this show while being packed in mixed. It kind of hurts

to freaking laugh. I am packed in frozen mixed vegetables in my basement, which is, what does it say, 37 degrees.

So if I start sounding like I'm talking weird, it's just because my mouth is and face is kind of freezing up.

But being numb feels better than anything else at this

point because on, I guess this all started on Monday. And again, this is such an anticlimactic story,

but I'll just share it with you because this has affected the past

two and a half days. I have been off the grid. I couldn't even, I haven't even like looked at

text messages, DMs, emails. I haven't been able to think straight. I have not slept for two days

at all. All because, which I'm just assuming,

I don't know for sure, but I'm a pretty good idea of what I guess brought this on. It's just

the pain is so much more severe than when you hear how it happened, you're going to be like,

come on, bro, it can't be that bad. But I'm telling you, I got some weird, horrible lumbar spine

genetics. Like everything else, my immune system is badass.

I'm mentally, I'm pretty freaking tough and strong.

And my work ethic, I got a lot of good things going for me.
