0:00.0 | Hello everybody, Julie and Sean, John, Sean, sorry, I already messed up. I said Julie Julie and Sean and then I went Don and Julie |
0:24.8 | Don and Julie because I was thinking of Dennis Sean and Julie everybody hello welcome to what we're now calling Dennis and Julie with Dennis continuing to be in the hospital even with my bad attempt to getting our new name |
0:41.0 | right. It's great to be with you, Sean, Don. Likewise. Don, we now are gay apparel. Oh, well, |
0:48.5 | there we go. Already a segue into Christmas. Um, you know, just to start out front, I know that, as always, many people are wondering about Dennis, |
0:57.5 | and I have seen him many times. |
0:59.8 | I see him several times a week, and I am very happy to report that he is in excellent spirits. |
1:06.4 | Things are improving. |

1:13.6 | so I feel comfortable telling you that he was on a trache, which you probably knew, |

1:52.2 | You have a letter sheet and the way that we communicate is we'll point to a row of letters, |
1:59.5 | you know, A, B, C, D, E, and then it goes F, G, H.I, and we'll go down |
2:03.5 | and he'll shake his head no, shake his head no at certain rows. And then when it's the right |
2:08.2 | row, we'll go over and he'll get to a letter. And then we'll write down that one letter. |
2:12.2 | And it takes a lot of time, as you can imagine, to spell out a full word. He also mouths words. But we were having a |
2:19.1 | really fun time the other day. Charlie Kirk came to visit the hospital, which was really lovely. |
2:24.4 | And Dennis said to us, I'm a changed man. And that's not surprising, but nevertheless, I asked |
