Happy Friday. Welcome back to the well-med. Jack is a little under the weather. I think, I feel like it's coming. I feel like it's coming for me. It probably is. The like crud. I can feel it. Like I feel it in my, it's not COVID. So that's good. I'm really sorry for everyone that has to, deal with my voice. You could actually kind of hear it last episode with Dr. Layforth. I, like, was listening to our episode today, and I was like, oh, honey, he kind of started like, you didn't sound so good in that episode. So, like, here. It's like Phoebe's Hot Flem. Do you remember that episode of Friends?

Where she's hanging your head on the window trying to stay sick.

Yeah, there's like a stage of the cold where your voice is like really raspy and hot.

But like I don't think I'm there yet. Like I'm still kind of in the stuffed up, like, sore throat area.

The world just really, the universe had to, like, bring me back down because we were on such a high. So the universe is like, bitch, you are like, you're just, you're, you're, you're, you're,

felt so scary to me that, like, yes, I know, like, I can speak into
