k reports. What's that mean? Get me a cup of coffee. *All in the Family* was based on a British show. I got a personal assistant. The Brown University shooter is still on the loose. SDSLA is up today. What's that? What was your favorite Reiner movie or role? Probably *When Harry Met Sally*. Yeah, I forgot to offer to ask for coffee for breakfast. I forgot. Yeah, Tesla stock's doing well. I am ne…

Do they not have home nurses there? There are options. Yes. So there are services, but I don't know if they would work in my home. Maybe I need my pets. My oxygen is good. All my vitals are actually really good, which is weird.
Did you hear German Tucker talking fair or what? What kind of sentence was that? All truth is relative. Subjective is self-refuting. That's funny. Jimmy Page wrote a song about me. Yeah.
Where I live, the home nurses, I think, are all Filipino or mostly. Yeah, I saw Rob Reiner did not say bad things about Charlie Kirk. I'll give him credit for that. The high point of your day was reading Dilbert. Yeah, I know. I can't get around the clock.
There's a social services person at the hospital who sets you up so that you don't go home uncared for. Well, this is so cliché or so key. Guess what? Yeah, I do need my pets.
No, I'm not doing okay. But today will be my third radiation treatment out of five. Your husband passed away? Yeah, this is not ideal with a Lincoln bedroom. Sure.
I mean, I would have to have one of those things that lifts people off the bed. And I do have a big TV in there, but I haven't turned it on yet. Trump was less than gracious. It's fair to say. 39,000 people watching right now live.
Will I be able to walk again if the radiation works? That is unclear. So my doctor does allow that possibility. Hoyer lift. That's right. A Hoyer. But so far I've got two blasts of radiation and the paralysis has increased. So I don't know at what point that would reverse. Maybe you need all five. Get an exoskeleton. Get a track bar installed to the Hoyer. Maybe motor.
Well, you know what's interesting? Most of you are a certain age, I believe, because almost nobody in the hospital has ever heard of Dilbert. Does that blow your mind? So I've been asking all of the—I've asked two ambulance crews and I've asked all my nurses. Not one of them has ever heard of Dilbert.
Hello. Oh, I've got visitors.
"Hi, my name is Nutrician."
Before you say anything, I'm live streaming right now if you don't mind.
"No worries."
You're just getting the lunch?
"Yes."
Yeah, I can do that.
"Okay. What do you feel like for lunch?"
Do they have chicken sandwich?
"Yeah. Do you want the hot one or the chicken salad?"
The hot one.
"Perfect. Do you want a little soup with that or a salad?"
Yeah. Vegetable soup.
"Any fruit on the side?"
Fruit would be good.
"Fresh fruit cup."
Oh, you know what? You're going to have to hold it because I'm going to go to a radiation treatment.
"Okay. At lunchtime."
Okay. Yeah. If you're not in the room, they will just mark it that you're

not in the room and you'll get it when you come back. "Okay. And then ice water will be—did you want fruit with it or no?" Yes, please. The mixed fruit, orange wedges. "Let's do mixed fruit. And just water to drink. Is it okay if I grab your dinner?" Yeah. "Do you like fish, chicken, beef, or pasta?" Let's try pasta. "Mac and cheese, fettuccini alfredo, or spaghetti?" Spaghetti. "Another…
