The Ride Or Die Chronicles: Fiona Fiasco Pt. 2
A lemur attack leaves one of us with 25 facial stitches and a story that defies belief. What started as an ordinary day turned into a medical emergency when Fiona the lemur, apparently jealous, decided to take matters into her own teeth.
The resulting injuries required immediate medical attention, leading to a comical yet frightening visit to what could only be described as "the smallest ER I've ever seen in my life," complete with DIY medical lighting and trainee nurses practicing suture techniques. Between emergency procedures, pain medication, and somehow still making it to a PBR event with face wounds leaking, this experience redefined what it means to be "ride or die" friends.
Beyond the initial trauma lies a deeper story about animal behavior, the realities of exotic animal ownership, and the difficult decisions that come with it. We candidly discuss the painful choice to rehome Fiona after a second aggressive incident made it clear rehabilitation wasn't possible. "It never gets any better. It sucks every single time. But you can't risk yourself, you can't risk your children."
The healing journey continues with Steri-Strips becoming "part of the costume," makeup challenges, and the unexpected compliment that brought laughter: "I just thought it was part of your aesthetic." Through it all, we emphasize the critical importance of taking animal injuries seriously—infections can track quickly, and delaying treatment can lead to life-threatening complications.
If there's one takeaway from this wild misadventure, it's that prevention and immediate action are key when dealing with animal incidents. And perhaps equally important: find friends who will not only drive you to the ER but will also still take you to see cowboys afterward—face wounds and all.

oh my god, yeah, I said hazard pay. I feel like I almost, I almost died in this situation. What you should, you should get. Yeah. Well, when people say that, yeah, I'm your ride or die, yes, I am, but the amount of times she said almost died with being your ride or die, maybe you should have a life insurance policy on me. Yeah, you have. Vice versa, yeah, we should probably kale, we know you do that sort of thing. Garrison is going to be the beneficiary for the both of us. Yep, birdie, oh, there we go. Yeah, birdie, yeah, so they flush it all out. They get. This takes all kinds Way too long. Oh my Lord, I'm talking three, four bottles.
Speaker 1:So I go and go back into the little fucking green room that they have, the little greenhouse sauna situation. I'm like I, the non-disclosure room. I read every poster in there probably 28 times. I said what the hell did you do in here? Probably 28 times. I read every fucking one of these like 10 times and I was like that's so much reading. Yeah, but nobody's going to screw you over for malpractice or shit or complaints or whatever. There's no fucking way you could. They mentioned everything and then some Well, yeah, these people made us hold our own lights, though. So I have some complaints that may be needing to be filed.
Speaker 1:When Special K said I need this size suture because we use these for eye lifts and we use these for this and we use this for that, it's not his normal practicing hospital, so he's relying on other people to go find all of this stuff for him. This is not a regular surgeon hospital. Right, this is a Right. So, dr, yeah, so there, yeah, so there's smallest ER I've ever seen in my life. I said I don't know what kind of emergencies y'all have. Yeah, it felt like we were going to the back door of a vet on a Sunday evening because, right, some gang show something. Right, you know what I mean? Yeah, but I tell you what light stayed off the whole time. Got the job done? We did. B, had to hold a light at one point in time.
Speaker 1:Uh, sexy pie nurse was like can we talk about this stitch for a minute, because I've always wanted to learn how to do it especially. Okay, yeah, of course we can, sure, sure, why not? Now let's train, let's go ahead and train the cutie pie, sure. And so I'm laying there head all the way, and I don't. I was in the wrong crotch first and foremost.
Speaker 1:And he says I said when did I become a guinea pig? And he said today I'm thinking, oh, that does not come from me at all, knowing your face, my face, your face. And I know my brother bumped his head, had to get stitches when he was younger and it was like right above his eyebrow. When you're that little, they're like oh no, face injuries normally grow back into your hairline. You'll be fine, like there. There's not. You have a lot of growth that happens on your skull and everything. I'm old as shit, I wasn't going to say that, but there's minimal growth that's happening. A tiny bit of time for shit to grow back. Well, and you, you tend to. You know I'm serious about my skin, yes, yes, the skin care, the skin, the face, the whole thing, seriously, yep, the hats and the sunscreen and the all the fucking yeah, everything. And so when it was a face injury, I was like oh, yes.
Speaker 1:And so he says and so he's walking him through this and I'm starting to feel things like oh, yep, because it was in the corner here and be sitting there holding the light and filming the other guy, I don't know. I will not be editing that footage. If y'all would like to see, go follow B's channel or something, I guess I don't know. I'll send you. I'll send you the video. I'm not popping out All of it. Yeah, it, um.
Speaker 1:So I did not realize this. I did not realize this until the other day, that when B and I were talking about it, we were all three talking about it, or a whole group of us were talking about it or whatever that he said no, special K actually took the stitch out. That he did. I said, oh, he took out his practice stitch. That's so sweet of him. And he said, yeah, he did, he took it completely out and redid the whole thing. I remember you saying that and redid the whole thing. And so, yeah, but he did. He didn't let him practice on me, on your fucking face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like you need to sign a consent form for that Right here. I'm sure he should have had me sign one that said I wasn't drinking either, but mind you, I was not when I got mauled. I might have signed some paperwork for you when you were back in the thing. I did confirm the insurance and all those things Undisclosed, yeah, and whatever else, yep, but when we checked in, we didn't have to sign nothing. We didn't sign nothing when we checked out, no, all they asked was to verify your insurance info and I did that from the fucking hot box, right, right.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, we get all wrapped up. We get sutured 25 stitches. I said, look, we got to go. We got to go. Well, they hadn't numbed my face. He gave me a Vicodin or something stupid. No, you were on hydrocodone. Okay, for the pain, for the sifty-doop-dee-doo Stitching up at the face, face. So I was ready to go to pbr.
Speaker 1:And this one it's just supposed to be a girl's trip, it's just supposed to be me and her. Yeah, and she comes out, she goes all right, let's get back. If we can leave in the next hour or so, we'll still make it. If we get back, we'll be back in 30 minutes. We'll be on the road in an hour. I said you ready, first off. If she's sitting ready, first off. If anybody knows her, we're not going to be on the road in an hour. She still hasn't packed yet. We haven't done shit. I just need a pair of boots. It could have been. I did need a hat. Well, no sunglasses, because we can't put anything on the face or whatever. I don't think I got freaking. We were not going to be ready in like half hour hour, whatever it was anyways, but still not enough time for the fucking hydros to wear off.
Speaker 1:She's over here like, oh yeah, let's take the big rig, I'm going to drive and you're going to be passenger, princess. And I said I know I'm really good at that, but sometimes my skill set outweighs the current scenario. I had so much confidence in this whole deal. Well, we still made it happen. But I said you were absolutely not driving. I said listen, uh-uh.
Speaker 1:And because of the way that you gave in so easily to not driving, I knew you were fucked up on meds because you were not as stubborn as you normally are. I said I am not getting in that car with you. And there was no, I don't know. She just called me stubborn in front of God. And everyone, like God, doesn't already know who made you that way. I know, but you know him and Harold up there laughing at the comma that we just made. Yeah, look at her little dumb ass down there. Just think she's not stopping. No, I know I'm freaking. I am not a control freak and I am stubborn as all get out.
Speaker 1:I already I already made some comments about, you know, the ride or die situation and having to drive and already seeing my life flash before my eyes when I was driving my own car and all the things I was like I am not. I know we're a lot bigger than everybody else on the road, but that does not make the situation feel any better. I am not getting in that car with you, which reminds me of Garrison, and when Garrison gets in there with me, garrison puts on 13 seat belts, that that child weighs 275 pounds. He's 6'5" Me over there. I'd be like a little fucking pink cowball all over the goddamn place. It's so cute.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if we get in an accident, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Yeah, there's my head, there's my feet, there's my arm. You know, no, you do a good tuck and roll in there. It's fine, comfy, but you're welcome. I think because of how adamant I was about saying I am not getting in that vehicle with you, you were like, oh shit, she's serious, she's really not gonna go. If I, if I I had any other way in the middle, if I have to spin this any other way, yeah, we're not going to the cowboys and I said so. We got an uber, we got us a designated driver, we did, we did, yep, and it worked out really well. It did. Yeah, I still think I'm a better passenger princess than you're a passenger princess, because I was in the back this whole time. Now she's running shotgun.
Speaker 1:You needed a nap, honey, you were tired. That was a lot. I had zero adrenaline. Oh my God, I was hungover for like two days. Just based off of the adrenaline and we're not talking about from alcohol, yeah, exactly, no, just based off the adrenaline. I was like that was such a fucking yeah, and it was just high, low, high, low. And I don't think it hit you until, no, until we tried to get back Two days later and you were like did you know that?
Speaker 1:You never even mentioned pain, you never cried, you never were stressed, you never, never, nothing Like nothing. It was like I had to. I was so worried about you. Oh my God, I was so worried about you. No, I was just like it was. It was days later where I was like the fuck just happened. I was so worn out, the fuck just happened. I was so worn out, the fuck just happened. I am literally dead. And then I think we had something else like rolling oh, it was the barbecue or some sort of something rolling into the wedding and rolling into the room and I don't think that I've recovered until maybe this past week. Yeah, like, I had a very chill day Sunday we went. We last night was very chill. I don't think I had actually recovered from all of this shit.
Speaker 1:Oh, you know what we were supposed to do. We were supposed to head to houston, oh, to go pick up the furniture. And then we had oh well, we had to go pick up the furniture. Right after we were getting back, we had rushed to riley school. Go show the kangaroo. Yeah, do all the things. We had to haul us back. Yeah, and barely made it for the bell. It's been a long, hot second since I've been tardy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we had a six-hour drive coming back and we had moved everything so we could get back to B, because Riley had a show-and-tell presentation that he had to do for his criminal law class, and how me and Aru fit in the criminal law class, and how me and a row fit in the criminal law class. And we pull up to the school literally five minutes before we were supposed to be there fucking right on time, perfect. I turn around and look at nick. I said, nick, come on. And she was like what? No? I said yes, you have to come. You have to come in here with me. She's like no, no, I'm not doing it. Nope, I was like you are making me go in here this whole day. So I did.
Speaker 1:We went from this whole fluctuation straight into so much peopling. I could not oh, it was a lot, I could not even see it. Well, we were down there and we made it to the PBR. We made it through the whole deal. We did. We were with our people, we had a blast. It was a great time. But I was so exhausted when we finally got there I slept on the floor Like my back I felt like was fucked up. I was stretching and shout out Kel stretching, hydrate. Yeah, she did, and I passed the fuck out. I was so done and then I was still just like having to play catch up the whole time.
Speaker 1:First off, that was a lot of peopling. My social anxiety don't don't do people like that. It was a lot of crowds and in the moment I can, I can fake it. I can, you know, chuck and jive and just push my way through. And I mean, I've been in plenty of those situations where it's like you have to.
Speaker 1:Just we went back to back to back to back, yeah, and that was a lot, and then we had started the start of river season, happen the whole thing. We weren't sure if you were going to make it to the start of river season because the whole face thing Not supposed to be out in the heat, not supposed to be in the sun, don't sweat and don't get hot which is perfect for Texas in June, memorial Day weekend Don't sweat, don't get hot. Hey, if we had planned this a little bit better, I would have planned it for December. It would have been on the calendar for December, february, nice, yeah, nice, flat of sleet or something that would come through. But yeah, yeah. So, but we made it, we made it back, we did and we just ran right into everything else and I feel like we kind of just not skirted past it. But a lot of the stuff that we do, we, we skirt.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's always a shit show all of the time. Always there's very minimal time for like processing what just happened, thank god, which I think kind of relates to the camel incident too. When that happened, it took a couple weeks to kind of process and be like what really happened. Yeah, yeah, and this one, I really, I mean I one, I, when I went in you think as many surgeries as I've had and as many you know they glue, staple tape, boom, stitch, yeah, send you on the road.
Speaker 1:But when it comes to an animal situation, and especially a mouth, and this was, mind you, this was straight to the bone and I did not realize that. So then there was that, I mean raw. He had to cut three sections of my face out, yep. So then there's that there's two areas, one here, one on the tip of my nose, that we didn't patch, then where he had to cut the two spots out here, and then this guy I don't think he cut anything out here. I think this one was okay, but yeah. So you just don't realize that the type of injury, the type of wound, how you heal, affects how they do the entire procedure.
Speaker 1:And this one had to be sewn up because of an infection kicked in. Then they have to reopen it, take your face basically apart and put it back together again and there's like drainage of all the things and whatever. There's a lot of room for error on the face like that. Because right out of the gate I was like cool, so what? When do I need to take the stitches out? And he was like you're not, you're not taking this, you're not doing this one on your own. And I was like look, I come on. And he was like absolutely not to me. So no, he didn't. And passed the first inspection. He actually did listen to instructions that time, which I am very proud of. You, me too, I am very proud.
Speaker 1:Of course I did not go to that follow-up appointment. I did not want to see no, none of that either. Yeah, but it, um, it actually does look really good. I keep the strips on it, for he said as long as you possibly can Keep it on there. And I mean I've showed you, I've got this. It looks really good. Now it really does. It's got a long way to go. Like you said, this one is going into the hairline, it is, yeah, but this one has got well, because kyle, when she glued it, she kind of did a little right there. Yeah, we kind of we shaved glue to where it didn't, like the hair and all the things. So all in all, it's healing really well it is.
Speaker 1:But that being said, if you have an animal accident, in general, take it seriously, because when I had my accident I said, okay, cool, I, I was trying to be, you were out of town, I was taking care of some of the animals I was trying to be, we'll look at, not cause you stress. Yeah, or polo, or whoever you know. Take an animal situation very seriously, flush it not, wash it, flush it out and don't let it get to the point where there is going to be a problem. Don't be stubborn when it gets to. I was stubborn with mine because I was trying not to stress you out. You were on vacation, trying not to cause a whole thing.
Speaker 1:It got to a point where it was like a day and a half before you got here and I couldn't even hold a piece of paper. It happened so fast Between my thumb and my finger. So Fiona got gersen and I sent a picture to Kel. I sent a picture to Kel and I said this is my arm right now. I've been tracking the little circles and all the things and she was like it's starting to track the infection. You have something. It's going to your heart. You need to fucking get it fixed, yeah.
Speaker 1:And so I went antibiotics while I was there and two antibiotics to take home, which, completely fine. Now I have no problem. I mean same thing when I had um ink in my bloodstream. Yes, had no clue. Yeah, and how serious. But you put it off and put it off and put it off and don't think it's anything. And that goes with anything else too. You have a spot or a have a spot or a lump or something that you need to get checked. There's no reason. Preventative maintenance is key. Don't use money as a no, I can't Right Bullshit, absolutely not. Yes, you can. There's a way to figure it out. There is. If you're in medical debt, it falls off after a certain time.
Speaker 1:Taking care of yourself is probably the most important thing. It can happen so quick and so fast. I didn't realize until Jen was like Tiffany, do you have any idea how close to your main artery? Well, not only that, but your eyeballs. Your eyeballs are right there too. She got me here. You could have lost a foot I had. Yeah, it was bad physical, but you could have lost an eyeball you could have. There's all sorts of different possibilities. Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1:So lesson out of this is kind of like I said when I got trampled by Leroy, but, like Nick said, you have to think. One don't ever, don't, ever, let your guard down. Pay attention to your surroundings. In this situation I didn't feel I needed a guard up. I was very aware of my surroundings. I was very aware of the situation. The back patio door was wide open. Routines are what's killer. There were no, yeah.
Speaker 1:And so in the exotic world, the majority of us, we all know each other. We're very close. We have groups that meet. We have training sessions that happen several times a year, get togethers, we have group chats. We have rescue places. We have shared vet contacts. Yes, we have all kinds of things. We're not just a bunch of people that went by Polly's Pet Shop or Petunia's, whatever, and decided that we were going to pick up a bullfrog and take it home and that was just going to be what we were going to do. That's not how this is at all, and we're very cautious on who buys animals, who gets them, make sure that they know what they're getting themselves into, and so forth. So this was just another freak deal. We talked about it afterwards have come to the conclusion that the jealousy had set in with her and that is what caused that. Everybody knows about Bertie and my granddaughter and that she is here. We keep her all the time and Fiona's routine changed when Bertie was here. Yep, and that's that's what it boils down to.
Speaker 1:Then, when you really start to think about it and you start to pay attention to which, you go back to human situations, when you think, oh, my goodness, I never knew that this person was a hardcore alcoholic. Or you realize it after they've admitted themselves or after somebody has committed suicide, or then you start to really start looking back and thinking, man, I didn't notice this, I didn't notice the signs, the patterns, the oh shit there was, was there more that I could have done? And you start to go, and that's what happened here. We went back, we analyzed her um change when different people were here, when Birdie was here, different one animal here, one animal gone, dolce, yes, and blah, blah, blah, and, and that's exactly what it was. So, um, you, obviously you, you make adjustments, you, you change things, you figure out what is best for you.
Speaker 1:The animal, Um Fiona is we did not put her down, by the way so, um, she, she's in a very, a very, very good place. She is where she can either figure it out in a rehab situation, um, or she can't. So what happens in those? Like with most dogs, most Most dogs by the city, they'll make you put them down after an incident like that, after a quarantine to make sure that they're not aggressive, and all the things. And Fiona's had an opportunity to where. That's not a consideration at this point, because she's gotten moved to a property where she has the ability to be more in a natural environment To think about her choices, yeah, to think about her choices Seriously. I mean, yeah, she's very much in a rehab facility, but it's a non-kill shelter, if you will, very one-on-one. It's a non kill shelter, very well, very one-on-one, um, but she, I was thinking that one, because you know me and animals and everybody deserves a second chance.
Speaker 1:And what have you and what? It was? Four or five days later, I was going to grab a pair of keys and she came at the cage and came at me and I knew at that point I was there. There's no, there's no way. There's no way, there's no way.
Speaker 1:I mean it's, it's, she's always tough Cause, especially too. I mean, yeah, it's an animal, but you get to know their personality and it's a part of your family and it's it's another being that you've bonded with. It's also the same kind of feeling when you have to, unfortunately, send a person to rehab or to distance. The decisions are never. They don't get any friendship or something. You have to make sure that you're doing what's best for yourself right, as well as what's best for the other person in the entire group that you're surrounding yourself with, and you have to. Sometimes it is a hard decision.
Speaker 1:I mean a breakup a, a strange friendship, a rehoming of a pet. It's all shitty, shitty. I was going to say the same thing. It's all shitty, it sucks. It never gets any better. It sucks every single time. But you can't, you can't risk yourself, you can't risk your children, you're, you can't. It's. You've got to do what's best for the animal, you've got to do what's best for your family, your life, your yeah.
Speaker 1:And when something like that happens, when they do turn, I mean watching her lick my flesh and blood off of her and the way she was looking at me was like nothing. I mean it's literally something you see on freaking National Geographic in the wild. You know it's a sense of betrayal, yes, whereas animals don't necessarily have that same feeling. They can be some sort of like dogs, know when you're upset, and they can be empathetic and things like that, but it's a sense of I loose.
Speaker 1:I mean hard for humans interacting with animals, right, because there is that communication barrier where it's like why did you do what you did? Right, we could have talked about this, right, you know that's. But then you go back and you think, look, how many freaking humans do you know what I mean exactly? After you have a conversation, after you do whatever humans and animals, both can be so unpredictable and you, you have a conversation or after you do whatever Humans and animals, both can be so unpredictable and you don't know. No, and you do have to keep your guard up at all times. There's that one freaking show where you go into the prisons and you're talking to them and they're just like well, this is what I did and I don't give you shit. I needed a couple dollars, my grandma, and she didn't give it to me, so I stabbed her 70,000 times. Wait what? So many people will ask me what made her do that? What makes people do things on snap?
Speaker 1:Jealousy is a big thing. People have jealousy all the time. Animals have the same thing. They just don't know how to regulate it in the same way. Yeah, but here we are.
Speaker 1:Nick survived. She's doing well. She's been. We're still working on her rehab, um, but, yeah, she's therapy sessions. She's doing so good, yep, yep, it was good, we survived it and we're still doing it. I still have good, still visiting cowboys.
Speaker 1:It's really weird, yeah, like where this big chunk is here. I mean it always Nose injuries are the worst. Yeah, because it always looks like I'm picking my nose and I'm like no, but right, oh, and then she got me. It was like this way in her ear, yeah, and I'm like, no, but right, oh. And then she got me. It was like this way in her ear, yeah, yeah, yeah, completely, I'm talking. I think she was trying to crawl in my eardrum, I'm not real sure, but it's your brain. I mean it was so bad. She got pretty fucking close.
Speaker 1:I mean, yeah, when he was like, oh, it's to the bone, and I was like unsuccessful lobotomy, yeah, and then he says what we're looking for here is for you to actually get feeling. You may never, ever feel again like I got the botox, anyways, it's. I mean, what do you mean? So I'm trying not to move that muscle either. Am I really one guy's gonna be up here? I'm gonna look like the j Joker for the rest of my life. No, jen will fix it, she'll balance it out. Oh, my god, it's all good, jen will balance it out, yeah, but it's good.
Speaker 1:So now I'm walking around with my Chinese star on my forehead. Tell them what Ruben told you. Oh, so I have not. This is the best thing I've ever had in my life. I've not worn makeup at all since since the deal I keep. He's like sunblocks, sunblocks, sunblock. I'm like I our tour is called SPF 90 tour, sunblock, the arsenic for the scarring and all that. You know, whatever. Yeah, you're preaching me to the wrong person. I get it. So I go um.
Speaker 1:Last weekend we're with Kojo and um at the venue at the concert and they run into a super cool guy that we met through mick and uh, ruben and ruben. Oh my god, he's amazing. I just this dude's energy and his soul in your pocket. Yes, what I've told ever. The first day I met him I was like look, this may embarrass you, I don't, I don't care, but I said I just want to put you in my pocket and take you everywhere I go, because he is the. You cannot be sad, depressed, whatever. This dude is the best, I mean. He is so good, his energy is phenomenal, such a good head on your shoulders too. Such a good person, so genuine.
Speaker 1:And we're sitting there, we're visiting and we're talking, catching up on things, and I said I would just ignore my thing on my face I was in an accident and he looks at me just dead straight in the eye and he goes. Honestly, I really didn't notice it. I just thought it was part of your costume. He's so cute I didn't think I could love him anymore, and I was like only you would say my costume, it's the vibe, it's the aesthetic, it's the whole thing. It was so cute.
Speaker 1:To be fair, though, when I saw the pictures from the event that y'all went to, you were wearing a hat and it was kind of steampunk-ish. It was very steampunk-ish, yeah. So I was like, okay, steampunk-ish, steampunk-ish, ste. So when he said that I can totally see that coming from him, yeah, but he meant it so genuinely, so cute, and that's exactly how I would have taken it Part of your get up, part of your aura, part of your vibe. It's all the same as how he meant it, but it was. So I just laughed my ass off whenever he was like, oh, I just thought it was part of your costume. And he told me that that was the best thing ever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because, yeah, because I had texted her earlier and I was like, hey, I actually have makeup on. And she was like, wait, what, how did you do it? And I was like, well, I kind of what I did was just because I always put my sunblock on, for, like today, I have my sunblock on, but I will. I figured out that if I take alcohol and rub, like this, around the makeup, yeah, and then put my strips on, they stick better. But yeah, because that makeup and the sunscreen makes a barrier on your skin. Yeah, just kind of slide, it just comes off. But that silicone stuff that I have to put on there is keep it. It doesn't like to stick to that. So I kind of go around the silicone so it actually will stay underneath there and then adhere, like on the outskirts, yeah, which seems to be. You saw it a couple of days ago. It seems to be, seems to be working, but so I don't bust my Steri-Strips out.
Speaker 1:She was laughing the entire car ride to get to the hospital because I was in such a panic If I wasn't so out of it I would have been pissed that you were laughing at me so much. I was like this is not a laughing matter. I'm going to show the video. Do you want to get into a wreck on the way down there? It's so good. I didn't have stary strips on until they took the stitches out. I laughed for like seven days. She's just over here with her little headband thing going on.
Speaker 1:Then we got to the PBR. I just had stitches all over my face. Then I'm on leakage duty, which is gross. Add that to my resume now. That was gross. That was really gross.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go to the bar and get you another napkin. You got a little something. I could feel it running down my face. And then it was nasty weather. When we were there too, it was humid and sweaty. And then the swelling ran down my head, and so then I woke up and I was like Nick, do you see something right here? And she's like oh my, yeah, your face, your face bubble. So yeah, like the fluid and gravity. I mean, it makes sense, but when you're experiencing it you don't know those kind of things you're thinking to think. You're like, oh my god, my face is infected. Yeah, oh my god, I gotta call special pain. He's like I got a tooth stuck in my face. You need to sleep with your head up and your arms in the air. Okay, so we're going to fiesta, texas. I was about to say six flags, sea world. Where are we going go? I'm here for it. I mean, I already got stitches in my face. What else could go wrong? Might as well bust a couple shit, yep, but anyways. So that's why I have this part of my costume has has grown to my face and we're all doing well.
Speaker 1:And we replaced the dreads with the steri strips. We did oh yeah, it's the new look. I did have to take the dreads out because they stayed in there and when they were flush and everything, I had saline water and whatever. When I would bend my head over to put my dreads in a ponytail, they were crunchy, they were, but it would pop my forehead open. Oh, from all the weight of everything. Oh, yep, I didn't even think about that, oh, yeah. So every time I would bend my head over and I would pull it up right here. You think you're pulling? Well, I'm pulling this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm pulling this. You're giving yourself a facelift. That's what they do. The slicked back ponies, for yeah, I was like, oh no, so, yeah, no, I took those out so my forehead could heal. But yeah, yeah, so we survived another day in the life of the shit show. I finally survived. I finally feel like I got my feet back underneath me, got your groove back.
Speaker 1:That was a lot of emotions, a lot of things going on at the same time. It was a lot. You know, I like my bedtime, my chill time, my couch time, my nothing's happening time. Right Doesn't happen often around you, thank God, jesus. So now we recapped it. We told the world I survived. I didn't pass out during the retelling. No, my face is kind of hot. I told the world I survived. I didn't pass out during the retelling. No, my face is kind of hot. I said the F word a couple of times, because that's when you lose your mind. Oh yeah, I don't think YouTube blocks you for that one. I think it's just the foot Flap. There you go, cut, cut. There's one for good keeping Good, good and cut Cut. There's one for good keeping Good, good, good measures.
