Hi.
What is the theme of Wild Card VII?
Today is Wildcard. Yeah. Dealer's choice, chef's kiss. Yes. Pick your poison.
Uh-huh. Roll of. Royal. The dice. Casino Royale.
Roll of the dice. That's what Jess says all the time.
Well, it was a thing we did at mess hall. You could roll the dice and they would bring you a drink and you wouldn't know what it was. I love that.
It was cool. They should do it more like Russian roulette where you hold a toy pistol to your.
No, I'm scared of guns.
I'm going to be honest with everyone. This one leaned very medical.
Very.
Very, very medical.
And there's some intense ones.
Yeah. Don't listen. I think it's a skip. Yeah, don't listen. I think it's a skip. This one's a skip, everybody. So skip it and we'll see you next week. So have a great day. We'll see you next week. We'll see you next week for a different one. I loved it, though. Yeah, me too. This was wild.
Remember the, okay.
They put the wild in wild card. All right, please enjoy Wild Card. Number seven? Yep, we've done seven. Holy. This is the seventh wild card?
I believe so, yes.
Can't be right, but I must be wrong.
Lucky number seven.
Hello.
Can you hear us? I can hear you. Can you hear me okay?
What is Taylor's medical emergency story?
Yes. And we can see you too. We can see you. You're in a tent.
I'm in a tent slash closet. I like to follow rules like Monica. I love that.
I don't know how you guys do it. I just don't know how rules are followed. Okay. So we're calling you Taylor. That's very promising. And why did you pick Taylor as a code name?
There's two reasons. One, my eight-year-old daughter loves Taylor Swift.
You could have just said eight-year-old daughter and we would have known the rest.
Or 37-year-old daughter.
Yeah, also true.
And then my best friend growing up and I, that would be our code name. If we went to a restaurant and we didn't want to say our name or if we met somebody who we didn't want to tell the truth to, we would use Taylor. It goes way back.
So you do break the rules.
No, you invent new rules.
Okay, so Taylor, you have a wild card story.
Okay, I'm going to try and do this as best as possible and stick with the timeline.
Can I tell you, you will not be in trouble if you don't stick to the timeline.
Okay.
Just so you know, there's no threat of trouble. Speak for yourself. Okay, yes, that's true.
One Saturday in 2012, I was cleaning my stove. I cut my thumb on the metal piece of the burner. I'm trying to push through like it's fine, but it just kept really hurting me. By Monday morning, my thumb was barely swollen. I had to go to the One is a Tdap shot and the other one was a flu vaccine. After I saw the doctor, I went to another room. I was in there with a nurse and she got the Tdap shot all fixed up, but she didn't know that I needed this other vaccine. So I saw her look at the paper, then realized, oh, she's getting another one. She came back in with the other syringe. She administered both shots into my arm and I went about my day. By that night, I was feeling really off. So the next morning I wake up and I have no energy whatsoever. I push through my day at work and I'm just not feeling good at all. So I call my mom because she's my best friend and I say, I think I need to go to the emergency room. So she meets me at my house. She's helping me change out of my work clothes and we noticed that my arm where I received the shots
was just so swollen and getting like little red spots. So my mom's like, I wonder if it has to do with shots that you got. So we go to the emergency room. They take me in fairly fast because I had such a bad fever. They give me all the good drugs and I'm still uncomfortable. And they try to say, you know, I think you'll be OK. I think it might just be allergic reaction. You should probably just go home. And I was like, no, I'm not going to go home. I stay the night. And so that was Tuesday night. The next morning, the nurse comes in to check my temperature and do my vitals. And she puts the thermometer in my ear and she looks at it and she has this face. She took the cap off and put a new one in, put it in her ear to look to make sure she was reading it properly.
