med my experience as a voluntary health-related process I was thinking, God I think this cold is making me healthier. All the pain went away. All of the discomfort, it was a pretty big discomfort of feeling cold, immediately left my body because I told myself if I were Joe Rogan I'd be paying for this experience. This is probably really good for me. Does anybody have a problem with germs? Anybody…

Well you make fun of me for living in California but here are a few things you didn't know. In the past month — oops got a little problem here — in the past month in California where I live almost every day the weather has been so good at least during the daytime that it feels like room temperature. I walk outside that the colors are perfect. I've had a month of room temperature, so sunny, perfect weather. It's amazing. And wow, so that's good.
But also California has made jaywalking legal. So as a — yeah it was already legal to, you know the pedestrian always had the right of way so that's been true for a long time in California but you have to be standing at an obvious crossing point. Now the law is extended to you could basically cross the road anywhere you want and it's not illegal and the motorists are going to need to stop or they're just going to, well I mean obviously they don't want to kill you so they're going to stop anyway. Now it doesn't seem like necessarily the obvious best idea in the world but we'll find out. Maybe we'll find out. Maybe it's cool.
So here's what I can do in California you can't do in Florida and Texas. You can't jaywalk to go buy some weed. Yeah I've been in Florida you'd have to have a medical card I guess but no. In California I can jaywalk anywhere I want. I can jaywalk and get an abortion. I can jaywalk to get me some weed. A lot of freedom in the state. Got a lot of taxes. I'm not sure the taxes are worth all the freedom but I don't know. I don't think I could move somewhere where I had less freedom. And by the way that's mostly a psychological thing but I can tell you that I feel more free in California than I would feel in Texas or Florida. I would just feel less free.
Now I think that Florida and Texas have a lot going for them. They're well-managed states and so I've mostly only positive things to say about both places but it is true I feel more free here. So for whatever that's worth.
I saw another mention that there's a heroin shortage which means that people are using fentanyl instead of heroin. But I would like to, I have some inside information on that. I've got the sources. My sources tell me it's not so much that you can't get

heroin. It's that nobody wants to buy it. Nobody wants to buy the heroin. Do you know why? Because fentanyl is easily available and it's a better nod. That's tweaker talk and that's addict talk. The quote better nod is the you know sort of being in and out of sleep. You're nodding out and coming back. So that's what the addicts are doing, the ones who are shooting up. Now here's the thing you nee…
