Hello everyone and welcome to Decoding TV, a podcast about television.

I'm David Chen, joining me as usual as Patrick Kleppick.

Patrick, we are falling apart here, man.

It's a bad situation of all of our households.

It's a bad week for both of us.

So for those who don't know, I developed what I thought was food poisoning earlier this week.

Turns out it was norovirus and I gave it to my wife. So now we are both not feeling well. Patrick, over

there at your house, things aren't super rosy as well, right? No, I had a, if you listened to,

you know, our episode last week, I, you could feel the nasly, you know, end of cold. But now in

retrospect, was it a cold?

Could it have been a flu?

Because now both of my kids got sick in the wake of that and have had a fever on off all week.

One of them getting sick, one of them not, going to school, not going to school.

And now everyone tested positive of the flu.

And my wife, who's supposed to go see Lord of the Rings orchestrated

while you watch fellowship with the ring which I have done by the way it's amazing it's supposed

to be like really really cool and transformative she's like I got a headache I was like well

headaches happen that doesn't mean she's like I know but I do if I can't see Frodo I'm gonna be

so fucking mad.

Because it's not like a makeup version of that. You know what I mean? Like it's... Yeah. Is this fellowship, right? Fellowship of the Ring? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I will tell you that the thing that really blew me away watching the live orchestral performance of Fellowship of the Ring, spoilers for that movie. but I think it's the part where Borom. But I think it's the part where Boromir dies.

Mm-hmm.

And you, there's just like a beautiful lone soprano, like, elegy that, like, performs, you know, singing as he's, he's you know more people are mourning his death
