This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

there are things you can do, like asking your healthcare provider if an authorized

oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

sponsored by Pfizer. Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio

program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM, Triumph 111.

Joe, welcome to the program. Thanks for taking my call. So mine is kind of simple,

but maybe a little complex. I've got to make up your mind. It's either simple or it's complex.

So why don't you choose one? It'll be simple to you, but it'll be complex to me.

So I've been here for 20 years and I've got three sons. My old one just got married at the end of

May and the youngest is 19 had not the college next month. So the reason I'm calling is I've got,

we just received a letter from our newly married oldest son and his wife that they want to

minimize the communication that we've been having. We've just been calling him and talking to him.

Sometimes they call us, but typically it's just a mom and dad calling them.

I mean, I mean, mom and dad call every week, every day, every hour to check on the...

Every day. Yeah, every day, typically about 5 to 10 minutes.

How are you doing that? What the hell are you doing that for?

Because we've done it for, you know, since they were little.

Well, I guess he's not little anymore. I guess he's a grown married man now and it doesn't fly anymore.
