| 0:00.0 | Well folks, it finally got me. I have COVID. Those of you who follow me on social media, |
| 0:22.3 | already know. Many of you sending well wishes, a few of you sending horrible messages and |
| 0:28.6 | you were summarily blocked, I guess I should say. I have to tell you that I had about a 28-ish |
| 0:36.8 | hour period where I was as sick as I remember being in my entire life. Everybody in the house |
| 0:44.4 | has it. My girlfriend has it. The little baby has it. Fortunately, my daughter actually |
| 0:51.1 | seems to be having the easiest go of it. It's interesting because on the Thursday and Friday |
| 0:57.5 | show, I felt as I spoke that I had a little something in my voice that didn't sound quite |
| 1:04.9 | right. And surprisingly, no one emailed me about it. I often get emails, you know, from |
| 1:12.4 | many of the moms in the audience who say, David, I've been around sick kids enough to know |

| 1:42.3 | a little tickle somewhere in my chest. And then at a certain point, you get that revelation |
| 1:47.4 | where you say to yourself, sir, and that's how I talk to myself. My internal dialogue |
| 1:51.8 | is extremely polite and formal. I said to myself, sir, I think I may have a fever. |
| 1:58.8 | And indeed, I had like 99 and then I woke up in the middle of the night late Thursday |
| 2:02.7 | with like a 100, 100.5 fever. And basically from the middle of the night, early Friday, |
| 2:10.8 | until later in the afternoon, Saturday, it is as sick as I remember being in my life. |
| 2:17.8 | And it's not that my fever was that high. It didn't ever get above 101, but just the |
| 2:23.5 | most painful. I don't know how to describe it. Just painful fever malaise. One of the |
