Hello everybody and welcome to the Jeff Macolino podcast. Thank you for joining me today.

Today is going to be a solo episode which was planned for last week and I'll start off with

apologies for not having an episode last week. I'll talk to you a little bit about that now.

This was the plan for last week's episode. I wanted to do a solo episode where I kind of delve

into the back catalog a bit and I'll get to that. I will get to that mainly because that's a

thing that a lot of people have asked me still to this day. A lot of people who I talk to in real life

will say either I haven't gotten started. Where should I start? Things like that as far as the

podcast. So I'm going to run through my top five episodes by listens. These are not my top five

as far as my favorite five and there is some bias because the newer episodes are still getting

listens. So this top five in two weeks will probably be two or three out of five will probably be

different but I'll touch on them in some future episodes. I'll kind of give you a summary

of a few of the old episodes and you can listen to it if any of those peak your interest. Check

them out. So again apologies I did not have one last week. I've got an easy excuse. I got COVID

true true story. Last Sunday I was planning on recording the podcast and I woke up. I didn't

feel great. Had a sore throat. Felt some body aches. My son complained when he took a bite of his

breakfast in the morning and said it wasn't hungry. Didn't taste good. Didn't eat all day.

I quickly realized because I know my body and my body is a pristine temple. I quickly realized

my eyes feel really hot and the body aches. I might have a fever which I did. So this was last

Sunday. My daughter I let her spend most of the day in her room because she felt fine and I

kind of had a feeling although it was odd I thought my eight year old son was sick but he wasn't too

sick. He had a fever of like 100.4 most of the day and he didn't eat all day. He just didn't want

to eat. I had to just keep reminding him to drink water. I just did not feel like eating at all.
