Come on, man. Yeah, that's right. I'm here,

larger than life. 888, 9149149. That's not saying much, though. 888 9149149. Welcome. Cyrus,

do you have a good weekend? Yes, I did. Yeah, it's nice to be back, though. Play a little soccer out in the sunshine. Very funny. Very funny. But I'm guessing you did not. Nope, the gout got me back. I had barbecue one time. I had barbecue one time, and I had a gout flare up. That triggered it? It did. Wow. Yep. Not cool. You shouldn't do that. No, I'm done. No more barbecue for me. Well, so that's how your weekend went. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Thanks for bringing it up. Gout work. April. All right. All right, I won't. That's not a nickname that we want to stick.

Yeah, you could say it's a sore subject.

Yeah, it would be painful.

All right.

I don't want to inflame the situation.

Thanks.

Last time I had galas two or three years ago, and you had the shingles at the exact same time.

Oh, I forgot about that. We were comparing who was in worse pain. Who was in more agony? Oh my gosh. I don't even want to think about that. When I had shingles, I was so stupid because I thought I can muscle my way through this. I can tough this out. I don't need to take time off. I'm not going to go to the doctor. Oh, how wrong I was. Yep.

And I got maybe five days into the full-blown phase of it, because I guess it, you know,

it takes some time to really manifest itself, but five days maybe into the full-blown,

and I was on my knees. Yeah, that's what, that's what happened to me that same time. And I was like, I'm fine. I'll walk it off, walk it off. And then I couldn't walk anymore. And then all of a sudden I couldn't. I'll limp it off. I couldn't even put a sheet on my foot. And then I finally went in. So this time, I went in immediately. The second it started flaring up, and it's still bad.

Yeah, just imagine what it would have been like to have that kind of a malady 200 years

ago before the advent of modern medicine.

I wonder if people would cut their feet off, because I thought about it.

That is bizarre.

That is bizarre. Well, I do hope you feel better soon. It's good to have you back. You took some time off. People were wondering if you were, you know, where is he? Is he okay? Is he coming back? Patrick finally had enough. That's it. No more Cyrus. Well, it's good to have you back, Cyrus. You still remember how to work the controls? I'm not sure, so I feel a little rusty. Let's find out. All right. 88-914-9. We'll get straight to phone calls. Let's go to Chris in Tempe, Arizona. Good morning, Chris. Morning, Patrick. Good morning, Chris. Good morning, Chris. Welcome aboard.
