That's right. That's mad spicy. To answer your question, I don't know. You know, it's how he's feeling, I guess. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't even realize, I don't know if he realized what he was doing.
You know what GERD is? GERD is weed.
Uh, it's a, yeah, it's a gastro, it stands for gastro esophageal reflux disease. Yeah. Reflux disease. Good job, everybody. Um, but no, I personally like was suffering with acid reflux and, uh, was prescribed for Quesna and I've overcome it now. So, I just wanted to spread the word about that in case anybody else might be having similar symptoms and they don't know necessarily how to approach it.
You know, if the over the counters aren't working for you. So talk to your doctor and they might prescribe you. What are the symptoms? How did, how did you know that you were dealing with it? Uh, you know, the typicals like burping up acid late at night, you know, sleepless nights, stomach discomforts, stuff like that, just an acidy feeling in the throat.
And yeah, it was starting to, you know, affect my work and stuff like that. Cause if I'm not rested, you know, that's just more stress on top of stress, or I, you know, would blow my voice out a lot easier. And that's just not helpful because I don't know if people really know, but before SNL comes on, I sing the warm-up song. We warm up the audience or whatever, but I sing a full song out.
And I do that twice a night and then have to do the show. So sometimes, yeah, you can hear it. You can hear that my voice is like a little hoarse or raspy or crackling. And a lot of that was probably due to an acid reflux situation happening.
It has been the same song for a while. We've switched it up a couple of times, but we keep coming back to the songs. Give me some loving. You know that song? I don't know. Who sings that?
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? You can't act like there ain't no Leroy's out there. You know what I'm saying? There's no Leroy's in the world. But it definitely made me laugh. I feel like we're trying to put rules around it. Cultures that brag? That's kind of interesting. I don't think you need it. I think you're fine with the first one or whatever. Or one or the other.
I don't think you need to differentiate the two.
Uh, yeah. Back in those days, uh, it definitely was like, you know, late night pizzas and stuff like spicier marinara or spicier kind of foods, uh, on top of like sodas. Like, yeah, when I was in my bad, you know, health, you know, diet making choices, decision making error or whatever. Um, yeah, I was drinking a lot of sodas, you know, eating late.
Uh, and yeah, a lot of like tomato sauce, he kind of like high acid, he kind of foods basically for me. So, Yeah, those were all triggers that were not necessarily great without any sort of help or protection.
Oh, the spread is fantastic every single day, man. SNL is just, oh, it's first class all the way. First class all the way, man.
There's a lot of snacks out there, you know. There's snacks during the table read. There's meal breaks when we have rehearsal and stuff like that. There's a whole commissary. So you just got to make better choices, basically. That was my kind of journey, just make better choices.
That's tough, you know, because there's so many of them that are so great. You know what I mean? Any old cast member that comes back to do the show is always fantastic. Tom Hanks is always incredibly delightful. Meryl Streep was surprisingly insanely cool with everybody. Dave Chappelle has a good time. Like, you know, Chris Rock has a good time. You earned that one.
Yeah, that one's starting to run me wrong. So maybe go back to that one. Because that's not my name.
Shout out to G-Roy and Leroy, man. That's living life.
