Well, there's not a great fun way to start the show today because Jimmy's had a rough time.

You want to take it?

Yeah, yeah, my dad passed away. They're going to try not to get emotional because we're on video.

But it's absolutely okay if you do.

Yeah, and I know I appreciate you guys have been so good. So thank you for your kind notes and talking about you two, but everybody else as well.

So my dad passed away on Sunday, I guess that would have been November 26th.

He went in the hospital one week earlier.

And if we go back one year, I'll tell a little bit of the story

about how we got here one year ago it was a day after Thanksgiving we had a

family get together we do these these formal, sorry, we do these informal get-togethers with my family where my cousin Jimmy, this is the Irish side of my family. My cousin Jimmy will invite everybody to meet at a brewery or in this case we go met up at the Rockville

Center bowling alley and I picked my dad up that morning and it's an informal

like not a complicated dinner situation just hey let's just get together shake hands

hug and have a beer kind of thing and this was that day and it was a day after

Thanksgiving. It was about 30 or 40 cousins and friends and family and I brought my

dad there. It was right in his neighborhood so I drove out and picked him up and

while we were there he kept having a little bit of difficulty he kept having to go to the bathroom and then I realized he began to kind of say things that didn't make sense but I didn't

know that at the time I was thinking he was talking about things I just didn't know about and he became a little obsessive about where his keys were and then he needed to go home. And so I took him home and me and my siblings laugh about this.

It's sad but it's silly.

It's sad but it's funny.

He wanted to change his pants so he went in his bathroom and he was in there for a long time I kept talking to the

daddy okay he's like yeah I'm fine and then he comes out of the bathroom with his underwear on the outside of his

pants and I was like is this how you always dress I said to him I said you
