Hello, everybody. Welcome to episode 396 of Spit and Checklets presented by Pinkwoodney from our friends at New Amsterdam vodka here in the Boston Sports Podcast family.

What's going on folks? First episode, well, games in quite a while. Hopefully you enjoyed the Canada Day, July 4th, whatever else you might have celebrated.

But let's check with the fellas. See what they did over the holiday weekend. Let's cross the pond to our buddy Matt Merle, aka Merle's aka Mer. What's going on, my man?

What is up, fellas? I am in one over here. This goes back to our family. My whole family, we're over in the US and April.

My daughter was old enough to get the chicken pox vaccine. So I make the call to my good friend, Dr. John O'Brien, big chicklets listener. Hey, Doc, gotta get my daughter in, get her the vaccine.

He goes, I'm a little under the weather. I said, not a big deal, Doc. We'll be back at the end of July and August. We'll get it done then.

Friday night, we see a couple dots, they must just be bug bites. Nope, full blown chicken pox. And this we are in one here. If you Google chicken pox, this is what she looks like.

There was a pause there. I thought the story was ending at the fact that she just can get the pox vaccine, but all of a sudden she had no break.

Yeah. So now or two weeks away from coming back for the chicklets cop, she gets a huge outbreak. She refuses to put on the lotion. She refuses to go into the oatmeal bath. Everyone tells us about it's an absolute shit show. We're not sleeping.

I'm just feeding her ice cream and and candy just to survive like the next hour. It's absolutely mayhem. So fourth of July is a little different for me to this year over here.

I think the biggest thing you might want to worry about is I'd be a little worried if my doctor was a chicklets listener.

You might you might have to make sure this guy knows what's going on.

I'm not the corkian. By the way, chicken pox, I believe they now say, or maybe they forever have said, if that's the case, you're supposed to have like a legit chicken pox party and just bring all the kids over and have get it. And then you never get it again. I had to chicken pox bad one time.

And I remember doing the same thing. I wouldn't let my parents put the lotion on. So I don't blame her. Just take care of her. She'll be on the men soon enough. But you're you won't sleep now the next week.

No, it's been tough. But what are you going to do?

Start the podcast. I'm going to throw you off for Chick-fil-A's cup or what? You're going to be okay coming over? Yeah, I'll be I'll be said. I got a kind of a foot injury again. No coach. So here we go.

Here we go. Here we go.

Fell down the stairs. Maybe a couple shots of pink Whitney for help or I'll come her down. I do have someone got my name.

I'm going to get a chicken in Sweden.

18 to go to the bars. This is interesting. 18. You go to the bar and you can drink. But you cannot go to the store and buy the booze until you're 20.
