NSFW content. Click to show.

Y'all have no sense of suspense.

Also dear The F Plus: you're welcome for not forwarding this abomination of a recipe to Neal.

That canned parenthood joke was a work of art. It was a miracle. It was everything.

I used to abuse caffeine pills and these guys are regularly getting more caffeine than I did then. That can't be healthy!

I usually do 2-3 in a 10 hour shift working safety. I thought that was a bit much but at least I see it as something to keep me conscious on a long day and not a weird lifestyle thing.

I think we all wound up talking about "our first time" after the recording. The first energy drink i had was for my cashier job on black Friday. They scheduled me from 5a to 1p but they insisted everyone get there by 4:30 to be briefed on the upcoming day. I normally worked nights so I absolutely could not get to sleep at a reasonable time. I resolved to stay up and power through. A coworker saw i was a wreck and showed me the contents of her jacket pocket, four energy drinks. I don't remember what kind. Anyway she gave me one and it definitely helped me uh. Wake up. I was bouncing off the walls,  speedtalking, filled a LOT of bags.  I should mention i was 5'10" and 120lbs back then so there wasn't much me for it to go through. I ended up staying until 6pm anyway.

There wasn't really a reason to tell this story and it's not that interesting. I guess really the point I'm trying to make is it's gross that people have to work so much they are compelled to drink giant quantities of this stuff.

Eta: i don't drink them anymore. Did for awhile.

ive mentioned this before but i have a condition where caffeine in higher doses has the opposite effect on me (stuff like soda/coffee is fine but higher doses like 5hr energy or most types of monster are a risk; for context, i've legitimately passed out from accidentally chewing caffeine gum before), so I've basically completely avoided any kind of energy drink so I don't have a similar effect happen

which made making this doc a very interesting experience taking that into consideration
