update

So much depends upon a shit wheelbarrow

i am a patron not solely to receive a product or service, but to support the creator themselves. i have a feeling many others are with me. take care of yourself.

Miss you and your sublime opening performances. Someday soon can you take us to the house of nettles where we break off our tears and place them in your hands

When ur in hell keep walking be strong bro

hang in there big guy

Take the time you need man

You tell the reverend mother to stab herself in the eye with that Gom Jabbar

Stay strong friend!

Glad you're getting through it. Have been relistening to e1's new Cool Detective series and imagining a sequel called "Cooler Detective" guest starring Michael S. Judge as the cooler detective who tells Blackjack, "You think the world's totally fucked up huh? You have no idea."

Happy to hear you’re still fighting it. Love you mike.

Still love you dude. Quitting was a huge pain in the dick for me, so I hope you know I’m with you in the turmoil

Glad you're still with us man. Keep it up and good luck.

Btw, man, as I'm sure you are perfectly capable of understanding without me making it explicit, there is absolutely zero cause for you to feel any guilt or expectation to preform or produce anything for as long as you want. I am aware though that the amorphous clouds of Doom take the shape of anything by which to assail you, so, whatever, I suppose it's as good being attacked by such feelings which can easily be refuted rather that those much worse shaped tormenters, but seriously man just chill and build for a bit. Watch some old outer limits episodes and eat crap is my internet doctor proscription.

Big love, brother.

you know you're loved <3

Hang in there. The world is better with you and your work in it, so I hope you find some peace and stick around. 💚

all love and courage in the face of your next steps. xoxo

Hey Michael! Im sure you got your own medical issues sorted out but I wanted to take a moment to talk about Kratom. It is a plant from South East Asia and is related to coffee. The effects when consumed in a tea or capsules mimick opioids in the brain and create a "well" feeling and mild euphoria. I've drank it every day pretty much the past three years because I just enjoy it but others report it's really helpful for replacing opioids with little to no side effects.

✊ Hell yeah

Big ups. Hope you'll be back doing your thing. The pod has been such a delight during a hard time. Much love and respect from NYS.

I drove from NJ to Utah and binged your episodes to where you left off. It's amazing to see an update from you.

I am so happy you are alive. Thank you for the update 💖

Michael S. Judge proof of life, 74th Nakbah anniversary. It's been a heavy morning.

Keeping rocking our cocks mo chara, love from Ireland.

Words fall short, but seeing a post from you is a high of my week. All strength to you.

Rootin for you, sir

Saying a mi sheberach for you

I’m sticking with you, as the song goes.

Glad to hear you’re doing well. Inshallah it will be over soon

You're doing it bro

Keep at it.. we’re all pulling for you and hoping fart the best possible outcome. I’ll even throw on a “thoughts and prayers” but actually mean it.

Damn some of y’all are bleak as HELL, MSJ WE FUCKIN LOVE YOU, APOCALYPSE WARRIOR, YOU DANCE ON DEATHS GRAVE LIKE ITS A BACCHANAL AND RETURN TO MAKE BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL ART SO FULL OF LIFE WE CAN HARDLY COMPREHEND IT gods bless you WILL make it through this, sweet Angel

You’ll never guess but I still love you 😈

Damn yeah, big dawg! Get it!

Take your time, your fans aren’t going anywhere. That’s a rough period of time

We all have bouts with disease and illness. No way around it. Birth>Confused>Horny>Panicked>Melt into a grape>Raisin stage>Death I believe you are somewhere between the "panicked" and "melt into a grape" stages of life. Nothing to feel ashamed about.

You’ve got this!!!

Hell yeah MJ! Glad you’re making progress, looking forward to new eps whenever. Would it be worth having Tim Faust on to talk about the American healthcare industry? Or would that just be too redundant?

Take your time! You just accomplished something very few people are able to do. Let that sink in, you've got a lot ahead of you!

Take it easy bro.

We're all behind you, best wishes for your health!

Heeeeellllll yeeeaaaaah

Hang in there - sounds like you’ve gotten through the hardest part. It’s good to hear from you again. Feel better!

Glad to hear you’re off the drugs. Take it easy and be kind to yourself!

All the best man, stay strong.

New sub and don’t need you to post anything anytime soon. Going to enjoy all your content. Take care.

Hope you get in on some of this "pink cloud" people keep bringing up, although it sounds a little bit like an urban legend

And I'm half Libyan and read history and current events sooooooo maybe there isn't anything to be happy about anyway lol

But if I'm being serious I've heard it takes up to two years to get brain chem back to normal receptor levels but also you've been a downer since I started listening to your pod lol so I doubt you'll ever make it to cheerleader positivity lol

I don't know how to respond to a comment lol I suck at this so much

Congrats!

I don't know that much about narcotics but I know alcohol binds dopamine receptors and what I learned in my undergrad (no fucking doctor or expert here) but the more the receptors get hit the more your brain is like well I don't need so many of these and stops producing them and thats why addicts go though such a depressive and relapse period after cause there are barely any receptors any more for the happy chemicals because your brain is so used to being flooded by the things that bind them

After you first get clean there is the 'pink cloud's which is basically a euphoria period

So I don't know how to respond to your question cause I suck online but it's basically this https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C48&q=pink+cloud+syndrome&oq=pink+cloud#d=gs_qabs&t=1653132911319&u=%23p%3Dl5iZCFXs128J

All good man take your time.

Just be careful b/c if it's just been a week or two you are probably in the pink cloud stage. But if you've been clean for that long you're not going to die from withdrawal but you are going to fucking hate everything for a bit. I have no idea who you are but down to talk to internet strangers so reach out if you feel too low.

Your brain is going to be all fucked up and hella depressed for a while. It fucking sucks and sucks and you wanna sleep and never wake up but you can do it. It takes about two years to relevel your receptors after alcohol or narcotics. It fucking sucks. But you can do it.

Remember that when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, just look that big ol’ storm right square in the eye and say, “Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it.

You could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't quit. Take all the time you need man

All the best brother, no rush

Been in the hospital with my first born son listening back over your Righteous Uncle series with TrueAnon. Can't wait for you to be back on deck!

Is it too soon to pounce on a joke via “Hope won’t last more than a week”????? Once again, I’m sorry I’m like this. Be well, please. Please.

God bless and good health to you, signor.

Stay strong brother

Be easy take ur time homie

🙏🙏🙏

Just take care of yourself man.

Strength to you, pal.
