JOHN HOPPIN: All right, what's up? Thank you for tuning in to What's The Matter With Me? Podcast. Let me find my notes. It's good when you have notes. When you make a podcast, you want to put together some notes ahead of the time. Or not, I guess. To each his own, or her own.

I think that's what qualifies as a meandering introduction. Thank you for tuning in to the What's The Matter With Me? Podcast. My name is John. I'm 41 years old. Husband, a father of two, small business owner, review, DJ, podcaster, and I have Multiple Sclerosis. So, I made this podcast to share what I'm going through.

Thanks for tuning in. Past episodes can be found on Apple podcasts, at whatsthematterwithme .org and wherever you want to listen to podcasts. What's The Matter With Me? is there. I might put myself somewhere. Somewhere peaceful or by a road or in a machine shop or somewhere else even. In the middle of the ocean. I have no idea. I've been putting myself somewhere.

I don't have to this time because I got my computer fixed. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. I got my computer fixed. The power button was broken. John-John, my son, got upset. He smashed on the power button. I was, "Stop playing ROBLOX. Turn that off. It's time to take a bath." And, he was like, "Aaaah." He was all grunon. Grunon is grumpy in Spanish. So, it's a vocabulary word because El Trol is muy grunon. He lives under the bridge, which is called el puente. These are all my Spanish vocab words right now for second grade. The three little pigs and los tres cerditos lopez. I'm not a native Spanish speaker although I speak Spanish as much as I can. But, my son is in dual language Spanish immersion.

Anyway, I was, "Turn off that ROBLOX." And, he was, "Argh!" He was being grunon. Really grunon and he punched on the power button. And, then the thing never turned on again. The guy at the… The computer guy, I've got to give him a shout out with his name, man. I already gave him a shout out, but I'll give him another one, man. Michael Lopez was Super Tech Geek. That's his name. Super Tech Geek. Look him up, he's on Google or with the internet. My Super Tech Geek, Michael Lopez. He's in downtown San Jose. He fixes my computer and this was the second one I brought to him, man. I was concerned that he was going to die of coronavirus and have my computer and I wouldn't be able to get it back. So, I will warn you, getting computer repair right now will stress you out. You will worry for the health of the computer repair man.

You're like, "I wanted to repair my computer, but I hope he's not in the computer repair shop too often. I hope he hasn't seen too many people, even though a lot of people are home and trying to get the computer working for the Zoom or whatever." Super Tech Geek fixed my stuff. It turns on, so now I'm recording on my regular microphone, my regular way. I don't actually have to use this sound bed. I don't know if I'll use one, that's some suspense. You'll see. I'll probably put a sound effect. Let me get another sound effect. I liked that last time. Here, sound effects.

What's The Matter With Me? Podcast has a Facebook page. Anyhow, I've written on it, "Reply to this post and I'll give you a shout out in the next episode of What's The Matter With Me?" And, I think it was a couple episodes ago if I'm honest and so I'm a little bit of a lying slacker. Now, I'm not certain, this is not a real name because it's Nate Archer backwards, but a thing called Etan Rehcra put, "Keep up the good work." So, shout out to you, Etan. Etan, that's what we can all hope in life to be doing. Eat, sun, water. Etan Rehcra. Shout outs. All right, go ahead and get your computer fixed and check out my Facebook page, I guess.

Last time I was talking about how my doctor told me,
