Austin Show’s November has been pretty rough, as he revealed on the latest episode of the podcast Fear&. The Name Your Price host shared that he was recently hospitalized for two days due to a “terrible stomach flu.”
“On my 31st birthday, I woke up, and I immediately started vomiting,” Austin recalled. “And I said ‘F— this, I’m not going to spend my birthday sick,’ so I immediately took myself to the best urgent care clinic I could find.”

After treatment with anti-nausea medication and fluids, Austin, who also emcees Love or Host, was still miserable. Doctors were especially concerned that his blood pressure was 100/45, which is low. He needed to be hospitalized, and, as he explained to his Fear& co-hosts (Hasan Piker, Will Neff and QTCinderella), they advised him not to drive or take a rideshare option due to this blood pressure reading.
He was rushed to a nearby hospital ER, where he was then checked in and spent multiple days grappling with all the tough symptoms that come along with stomach flu. The former G4TV personality lost 7 pounds while in the medical facility.
The Fear& crew went on to talk about their Ws and Ls (wins and losses) of the week. Austin’s W of the week? That he was finally “able to eat a sandwich.” His L? As he said, “I f—ing s— and puked my brains out, that was an L.”
