"I'm not at the top of my game. I had an unbelievable weekend. I bet I—I don't know how much I slept. I woke up to go back to sleep—unbelievable. Sweating. *cough* Man. My wife's upstairs with a whip, she didn't even want me to come down here this morning.
And, uh *coughs* I'm here, and I covet your prayers. You know, everybody says the same thing , 'Oh, you got COVID.' What the hell does that even mean, I got COVID? What is that? What is COVID? I got something.
And, uh, I'm telling you, man, it's been like nothing I've ever experienced in my life. I can't eat, I can't even drink. If I drink water, it doesn't matter what it is, I immediately want to throw up.
And I have drenched my bed about as many times as you can drench it, with fever. And, uh, I just covet your prayers, if you would."
