I let's just say that the Christmas spirit has bypassed this old this old chunk of coal this year.

I am a ghost of Christmas pass. Let's just say that. Welcome to The Crunch.

It is your boy Ethan.

And I'm Patrick.

I don't even know how to explain the week that I've had.

Ethan and I separately had...

The worst week.

Very bad weeks, but together but together we

we shared in the suffering as one without even really knowing that we were both

as one body Ethan and I are what's known in the business as man sick do you know what

man sick means Ethan can you tell me about man sick Patrick it's like it's in the same vein as man spreading and mansplaining. Okay. No, I don't know if it is, but a friend of mine, my friend's mom in high school, I was complaining about being sick. And she's like, oh, you were man sick. And I was like, what? And she was like, that's when a man does not get sick like ever, but once every four to five years. But when he does, he's a big old baby. Yeah. I'm like, yes, that was me for the past three days. I was a big old baby. And you know what? I'm not ashamed to admit it. Yeah. I was a big old baby. I was so, I don't know what to call it. I don't know if I had so I was sick right

after Thanksgiving if you'll recall and it was that was much more of like a head cold like I had a

headache and runny nose and sore throat and it was all up here but then I went to that wedding

in college station. Oh yeah and I think my immune system must have been weak or something. And I was with all those people and I was dancing and I was at the bars and I was doing a lot of driving and I didn't get a lot of sleep. Yeah, traveling and then no sleep. And plus it was like finals week for the students. So I was staying up really late with them hanging out studying like doing all that

stuff so I wasn't getting a lot of sleep I was already not feeling well and then I drive to come home

and I'm like oh man I don't I don't feel good again but this time it was like instead of being a head

thing I still got the cough from the old thing but I I had this new, like, I had the chills. It was

shivery. Oh yeah, we talked about that a little bit, where it's like everything in your body is,

is hot, except for like your hands and your feet. Yeah. Yeah. So I was literally laying in bed,

covered in blankets, and I was sweating because I was so hot, but I was still, like, cold at the same time.

And I felt like I wanted to simultaneously jump into a furnace and also the snow outside.

What is needed then is...
