The following podcast is a dear media production.

What's up, guys?

Welcome back to Sunday Sports Club podcast, a podcast all about sports told by a woman

and that woman's me.

Hi, guys.

I'm your host, Alison Cooch.

And if you're new here to the podcast, this is probably not the podcast for you to, like,

be new to, like like go listen to something else

because I'm not going to lie, I've been a hot fucking mess.

I have no idea what's been happening this year with sickness, but I've been sick the entire year.

Okay.

So I made jokes that like the first Monday after New Year's is like that's the

start of the year. And then I got sick. And then I was like, okay, wait, like when I get better from

getting sick, that's the start of my new year. But I haven't been better. I got norovirus. I lost my voice randomly. I then got

strep throat. And then what the fuck just happened? If you guys follow me and any other form of

social media you've probably seen the fact that I literally was on my deathbed, not actually, but I did end up

going to the hospital because I was so unwell, okay? 103 degree fever. I texted Isaac at 3 a.m.

Because I made, when I first got sick, I made him go and sleep in our guest bedroom because I

don't want my daughter getting sick. I didn't want him getting sick. And I had just traveled from New York,

which is probably where I got the flu, thanks New York. You guys, I texted at 3 a.m. and I was like, I think I'm dying. I literally thought I was

dying because my fever was so high that my entire body was aching. I was not hungry. I was not

thirsty. I didn't want to do anything. So you know how sometimes you can like romanticize your sickness?
