Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Fire Escape cast. It is... Nope.

What? No, that's it. That's the intro. What's up? It is episode 81. This is the show where we talk about video games. Politics, world issues, and bodily functions. I'm Mike. Here's always with Dan. Hi. And Mary.

And Mary. And Mary. Do it like a, like a zippy straw that has all the little curves in it.

Okay.

I'm here, as always with Dan.

And Mary Kitch.

That's the intro I deserve.

How's it going?

What's up?

What are you doing?

Either one of you.

Jump in.

Talk over each other.

Talk over each other.

Not being in Poland with Jake Decker or producer.

Aw.

What happened?

My head's bad.

And I'm on steroids.

My head's bad.

I have to take steroids and not drink for a month. My life is terrible. No, actually the other stuff sounds bad. I am on the gas. I'm roared up, man. It's helping with my runs. That's good, right? I bet. But it's like, the thing it does. Are you like super-powered? Well, it stops inflammation., I guess that's the whole deal with this stuff is like, because my whole fucking cavernous head is filled with inflammation and it's supposed to like settle all that down. So now it's like, I think what's happening is like I'm running like crazy now. I'm doing these long runs. I'm running four or five days a week. And then I'm not feeling shitty afterwards.

Like, I'm not sore. Everything's like I'm running better. I've got better cardio than I think I've ever had. But I wonder at what cost. Like, if I fall in my femur shatters, there's like, blood just keep coming out and then it doesn't patch up or like, what is the side? There has to be downside to these steroids. Well, I guess it's my head hurting and I can't sleep and a whole bunch of other stuff.
