You know, it's a big bummer if you've ever been sick on the holidays.

Mm-hmm.

That's just terrible.

It is.

Everybody's going, let's have a good time.

We're lying on the couch. Can't move. And they act like they care in the beginning, and I believe they do. They do in the band. But at some point... They can't just doad on you all day. No. And you're just forgotten. Eventually, you're... That's exactly right. That's exactly right. at the beginning. it's like, oh, what a bummer. And then on. It's gone with the festivities. And they're not going to be less festive. Right. They're going to be like, hey, this is not fair to this person who's flying on me. Yeah, they don't care. No, they don't care. No, it's all the more, if anything. We were talking about being sick over the holidays. Maybe if you've ever been sick, it's such a bummer.

I think I'm going to be okay. Okay.

For Thanksgiving. I had to go to the urgent care thing a couple days ago.

I always feel kind of grumpy when I go there anyway. It's like, this is over a Sunday. Nobody's open.

You guys are open.

You're sick.

I don't know.

Any of you? I've never met you. Whatever this doctor is coming out the door, I don't know where he is, but now he's my doctor. Fine. Right. But when you come in, they're beaming and they're happy. Hey, how you doing? Well, let me answer the question for you.

I just

trying to be nice and welcome you in so I know I know they are yes and I don't

and it's fine I appreciate them but that's that's how you feel when you're in pain.

It is. Let me tell you how I'm doing. You should probably intuit some of this stuff.

Since I'm here.

So happy Thanksgiving to you. We love these stories when people tell us about stuff they're thankful for, but here's the twist.
