9:20 to show up two or three days maybe a

9:20 to show up two or three days maybe a whole week in the past my road trips

9:23 whole week in the past my road trips

9:23 whole week in the past my road trips were there on a very tight schedule and

9:25 were there on a very tight schedule and

9:25 were there on a very tight schedule and i didn't want to end up getting stuck

9:26 i didn't want to end up getting stuck

9:26 i didn't want to end up getting stuck anywhere if you have a rental car and

9:28 anywhere if you have a rental car and

9:28 anywhere if you have a rental car and you have the roadside thing then the

9:30 you have the roadside thing then the

9:30 you have the roadside thing then the rental car company will come to you give

9:32 rental car company will come to you give

9:32 rental car company will come to you give you a different rental car if their car

9:33 you a different rental car if their car

9:33 you a different rental car if their car breaks down and then you go on your

9:35 breaks down and then you go on your

9:35 breaks down and then you go on your merry way same day maybe the next day

9:37 merry way same day maybe the next day

9:37 merry way same day maybe the next day right plus the main factor and the

9:39 right plus the main factor and the

9:39 right plus the main factor and the reason i rented cars keeping all that

9:41 reason i rented cars keeping all that

9:41 reason i rented cars keeping all that other stuff in mind was that rental cars

9:43 other stuff in mind was that rental cars

9:43 other stuff in mind was that rental cars i think when i did the nissan versa i

9:45 i think when i did the nissan versa i

9:45 i think when i did the nissan versa i went coast to coast uh from california

9:48 went coast to coast uh from california

9:48 went coast to coast uh from california to georgia then florida then back to

9:50 to georgia then florida then back to

9:50 to georgia then florida then back to california i think

9:53 california i think

9:53 california i think that costs less than a hundred dollars a

9:55 that costs less than a hundred dollars a

9:55 that costs less than a hundred dollars a week to rent that car and now here we

9:56 week to rent that car and now here we

9:56 week to rent that car and now here we are in 2022 and because of the shortage

9:59 are in 2022 and because of the shortage

9:59 are in 2022 and because of the shortage because of a bunch of other reasons some

10:01 because of a bunch of other reasons some

10:01 because of a bunch of other reasons some of the same rental cars i've rented

10:02 of the same rental cars i've rented

10:02 of the same rental cars i've rented before are now renting for much more

10:05 before are now renting for much more

10:05 before are now renting for much more than a thousand dollars per week so i'm

10:08 than a thousand dollars per week so i'm

10:08 than a thousand dollars per week so i'm factoring all this into my brain

10:10 factoring all this into my brain

10:10 factoring all this into my brain especially as i'm thinking ally's car

10:23 the whole celiac disease thing and of

10:23 the whole celiac disease thing and of course i got the bad back so i had

10:24 course i got the bad back so i had

10:24 course i got the bad back so i had caught and everything filled the entire

10:26 caught and everything filled the entire

10:26 caught and everything filled the entire car we couldn't even have taken alley

11:56 my heart now i don't know if you have

11:56 my heart now i don't know if you have seen my other updates about that but

11:58 seen my other updates about that but

11:58 seen my other updates about that but basically i got told i have a heart

11:59 basically i got told i have a heart

11:59 basically i got told i have a heart problem their pvcs are very common

12:01 problem their pvcs are very common

12:01 problem their pvcs are very common everybody has them um i just have a lot

12:04 everybody has them um i just have a lot

12:04 everybody has them um i just have a lot of them way too many and so now over the

12:07 of them way too many and so now over the

12:07 of them way too many and so now over the past several months what you haven't

12:09 past several months what you haven't

12:09 past several months what you haven't seen completely off camera i haven't

12:11 seen completely off camera i haven't

12:11 seen completely off camera i haven't even talked about it is i've gotten cat

12:13 even talked about it is i've gotten cat

12:13 even talked about it is i've gotten cat scans and mris now and a bunch of holter

12:16 scans and mris now and a bunch of holter

12:16 scans and mris now and a bunch of holter monitors and tried different beta

12:18 monitors and tried different beta

12:18 monitors and tried different beta blockers and other heart medications and

12:20 blockers and other heart medications and

12:20 blockers and other heart medications and basically the long and the short of it

12:22 basically the long and the short of it

12:22 basically the long and the short of it is nothing changed i just have this

12:24 is nothing changed i just have this

12:24 is nothing changed i just have this horrible arrhythmia and the only way

12:27 horrible arrhythmia and the only way

12:27 horrible arrhythmia and the only way really you could solve it is probably by

12:28 really you could solve it is probably by

12:28 really you could solve it is probably by going in having open heart surgery and

12:31 going in having open heart surgery and

12:31 going in having open heart surgery and killing the part of the heart

12:32 killing the part of the heart

12:32 killing the part of the heart essentially that makes the crazy

12:34 essentially that makes the crazy

12:34 essentially that makes the crazy heartbeat and so they say that i'm way

12:37 heartbeat and so they say that i'm way

12:37 heartbeat and so they say that i'm way too young to do that it's not worth the

12:38 too young to do that it's not worth the

12:38 too young to do that it's not worth the risk that there's no abnormalities or

12:42 risk that there's no abnormalities or

12:42 risk that there's no abnormalities or deformities or anything in the heart

12:43 deformities or anything in the heart

12:43 deformities or anything in the heart itself there's no hardening of the

12:45 itself there's no hardening of the

12:45 itself there's no hardening of the arteries i don't have any heart disease

12:47 arteries i don't have any heart disease

12:47 arteries i don't have any heart disease as far as they can tell it's just this

12:48 as far as they can tell it's just this

12:48 as far as they can tell it's just this wacky arrhythmia being created

12:50 wacky arrhythmia being created

12:50 wacky arrhythmia being created electrically by some weird part of the

12:52 electrically by some weird part of the

12:52 electrically by some weird part of the heart and since i'm too young they say

12:55 heart and since i'm too young they say

12:55 heart and since i'm too young they say to

12:55 to to go in and risk fixing it for now it's

12:57 to go in and risk fixing it for now it's

12:57 to go in and risk fixing it for now it's just a we got to keep it as is and

12:59 just a we got to keep it as is and

13:00 just a we got to keep it as is and monitor its situation

13:01 monitor its situation

13:02 monitor its situation however i don't know if you remember

13:03 however i don't know if you remember

13:03 however i don't know if you remember part of the deal when they told me i had

13:04 part of the deal when they told me i had

13:04 part of the deal when they told me i had this heart problem was no strenuous

13:07 this heart problem was no strenuous

13:07 this heart problem was no strenuous exercise or rather when you start

13:10 exercise or rather when you start feeling the symptoms to you got to cool

13:11 feeling the symptoms to you got to cool

13:11 feeling the symptoms to you got to cool it and calm down immediately wait for

13:13 it and calm down immediately wait for

13:13 it and calm down immediately wait for the thing to die down uh you know there

13:16 the thing to die down uh you know there

13:16 the thing to die down uh you know there was a bunch of restrictions on me to
