Hello, bienvenito.

Welcome to a brand, spanking new episode of the low life podcast.

I'm your flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, hot mess of a host, Lorenzo van

Rumpf.

And I'm so happy to be here with you today.

I will tell you this much, I'm not feeling too great.

I have been battling the flu virus. It has hit me

like a fucking Mack truck. This flu virus. It's not COVID. I got tested several times. You can still

hear a little of the raspiness in my throat. Last week I was sick and I thought, you know what?

Just sleep it off, give it seven days and I will feel so much better. Jokes on me. I didn't. I'm feeling a little bit better, but I mean, not to give too much information. We're all family here. The boogers, the boogies, green. When they're green, it's mean, when it's clear, you're in the clear, dear. That's right and so they were green which means the infection

because of all the mucus and everything. So it will automatically impact the rest of your body,

including your gums, your teeth. And they'll feel a bit of pain, discomfort because of the pressure

from your sinuses anyway. I'm dealing with that. It's a quick reminder to take care of yourself.

I'm still masking out there and I got a little loosey-goosey with it because I'm dealing with that. It's a quick reminder to take care of yourself. I'm still masking out there, and I got a little loosey-goosey with it. Because I'm boosted and I had COVID already, and I'm still worried about getting it again. I know people who have long COVID. I know people who have gotten COVID several times, which sucks. And I didn't want to be in that boat. But sometimes when I'm out and about, I do forget to wear a mask. And so I had to consciously remind myself, always mask up. And it's not even

about COVID. I know there's people out there that get real worked up when it comes to masking,

like my body, my rights, or whatever for wearing a mask, I don't give a shit about that argument. I just

know when it comes to me personally, I want to wear a mask because I don't want to get other
