ALL RIGHT! Good evening, everybody. Good evening and welcome. How is everyone? Hopefully, you're doing better than me! *SMUG CHUCKLE* Just being honest here! *THROAT CLEAR* You'd be hard pressed to not be doing better than me. *LIP SMACK!* This week has been absolutely awful for me, everyone! And, you know, UPFRONT, obviously, the first thing I'm going to say here, tonight on stream, is: I apologize for a week that was completely thrown into SHAMBLES, and smithereens, and ruin, basically. Due to this illness that I had. Uhm. It's a COLD. It's a REALLY BAD COLD. *PIG SNORT* Okay? Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* Yeah! You're going to hear me clearing my throat all night, tonight. You're probably going to hear me SNEEZING, BLOWING MY NOSE, SNORTING. You're going to hear it all! And I apologize. The only way that I can stream right now, *THROAT CLEAR* because this cold will not leave me! Started off on Monday, with an INCREDIBLY SWOLLEN and sore throat! After the whole weekend, where I had been doing things, like that whole Holiday Wrestling Sims. And the Holiday Marathon. Okay? Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* Tuesday was just as bad for Christmas Day. So, I tried to come back on Wednesday, and did this one stream. And everyone told me, I sounded so awful on Wednesday, that I should just rest up and not do anymore streaming! Well, Thursday, I wake up, and I have some of the WORST HEAD CONGESTION I've ever had in my life! So bad, that I have excruciatingly STRONG HEADACHE. And, I can't even, like, STAND UP! I'm kidding! I'm not EVEN kidding! Two or three times during the day, I almost PASSED OUT, because the pressure in my head was so GODDAMN BAD. Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* So then, yesterday, was already going to be my DAY OFF, Friday. Uhm. To do ERRANDS and stuff with Kat! It was Kat's day off from work, for us to do stuff. And I woke up in the morning, and I felt pretty sick. And I said, 'Listen! I'm going to try to TOUGH IT OUT with you, today! And we'll see how things go.' And, LUCKILY, we did! Like, we went out! And, actually, over the course of the day, I ended up feeling BETTER! My head congestion cleared up! *LEG SLAP* And, my, my, my headache went away! Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* And, I was still CONGESTED! Don't get me wrong! I was still blowing my nose and everything! But, it was much better! We, uh, we actually went out, and for the FIRST TIME ALL WEEK, I had, like, A NORMAL MEAL! Where I wasn't, like, feeling sick as hell, and I was able to eat and feel good! And, so we actually had, uh, uh, a DECENT NIGHT OUT! Doing ERRANDS and the like, and getting stuff done. *PIG SNORT* *LIP SMACK!* And I was like, 'Oh, man! This should be great! I'll be able to come back tomorrow! Uh. You know? FULL FORCE!' Thinking, today I'll be back! Right? Oh, yeah! As soon as I try to go to sleep, now we go to the next symptom of the cold! First, it was the INSANELY SWOLLEN sore throat! Then, it was the CRAZY nose and head congestion! That goes away! So, now we gotta get, you know! The, the, the, the, UH! The freaking WATERFALL OF PHLEGM down my throat! AT, you know, trying to sleep at one, two, in the morning! Can't get in, into a position where I can STOP CHOKING TO DEATH! And I CHOKED, straight from about, I'd say, one-thirty A.M. to about five A.M., before I actually passed out from exhaustion! And got about an hour of sleep! Then woke up in the middle of the night, choking again! It was just like, WHAT THE FUCK?! What it is guys, is normally, I don't really get sick! I get things that happen to me, because I AM A STREAMER who TALKS ALL DAY. So, yeah, my throat will hurt! And, 'Oh, no! I have a HOARSE voice, or whatever!' For a week or two. And,*THROAT CLEAR* you know, I gotta be easy on my voice, and I gotta have a lozenge here and there. That's a lot different, when I actually get sick, And when I actually get sick, I GET SICK! Like, I get REALLY SICK! And that's the thing, this week, this COLD really DESTROYED my body. And, to the point, where I just felt like, so completely devastated. Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* SO! The good news is that, this is the FINAL SYMPTOM! There are NO OTHER SYMPTOMS to a cold! There's nothing else that can possible happen! Unless, my ears start falling off! Or, I guess, my eyeball explodes and pops out of my face or something. I think we're pretty much done with the symptoms. So, I think, moving forward, I should be able to stream like I'm supposed to. Even though, I'm not going to sound great. Uhm. I should, I hope, be able to stream for you guys. Okay? *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* So! The FINAL SYMPTOM here, of choking, which sucks. Because, I've got this- I already have POST-NASAL DRIP! For those who don't know, I've had this my whole life. Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* It's when you have EXCESSIVE MUCUS, that pours down the back of your sinuses, into your throat. And it makes you choke, or it makes you sn- you know, basically, have to blow your nose or sn- FOR ME, because, 'Why does Phil snort?' THAT'S WHY! If I don't, it actually makes me cough! Or, or SNEEZE! Or, I can't talk! I HAVE TO DO IT. I have to clear my sinuses! Because I have POST-NASAL DRIP. I've had it my whole life! And, by the way, if you've watched ANY of my stuff, for the past, OVER TEN YEARS, it's always been like that! Okay? *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* It's always been like that. Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* But, it's just that, for some reason, people, when I started livestreaming, I guess, because it wasn't me stopping a video and starting the video again. You started hearing it more. Because, you know, I got a better microphone and all that. Before, it was just me using a camera! So, even though, I would still do it, I would clear my throat or I would snort, or whatever. You really wouldn't hear it that bad! Now, you're hearing it, like, UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL, in High Definition Audio. And it's like *MOCKING VOICE*, 'UGH! It sounds like shit!' Yeah, I KNOW! And, THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT. Okay? *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* So, this sucks! I apologize, everybody! I do."
