We'll get to the Biden stuff.

We will.

But I need to.

I would like your attention, please.

I would like your attention.

Ah. please. I would like your attention. Ah, now all of a sudden I realize, Erickson, you don't put yourself through this.

So today is my wife's birthday.

Happy birthday to my wife.

The week before Christmas, in 2006, I want to say it was like the 20th because it was just after her birthday.

My wife was given six months to live.

She thankfully was misdiagnosed.

I had to be the one to tell her she had six months to live. It was raining badly, had been all day.

There was a really bad wreck on I-16 headed into Macon, Georgia.

And the doctors who had done a lung biopsy on her were called to go assist in the ER.

And they told me, you can tell you can talk to your wife or we'll come back later and talk to your wife.
