\u201cIn The Bayou\u201d<\/a> podcast, Mathieu explained that he got severely sick after he drank Coca Cola that was topped with bleach, a recipe he discovered while \u201cscrolling\u201d Google. <\/p>\n\u201cI done tried everything in the books. I\u2019ve used other people\u2019s urine, they got the fake penises. I\u2019ll tell you a funny story, not funny because I could\u2019ve died,\u201d Mathieu said while he reminisced on his LSU days. <\/p>\n
\u201cBut a couple tests before I realized they were going to kick me out of school\u2026 I\u2019m on Google trying to figure out how the f\u2013k and I going to pass this test They keep threatening me. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m scrolling and I come across some s\u2013t that says put some bleach on top of your Coca-Cola\u2026 and so I did that. It felt like my whole insides were erupting\u2026 I ended up throwing that s\u2013t up. At that point I was like, \u2018F\u2013k it, I\u2019ve run out of tricks.\u201d<\/p>\n
