I 36 00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.159 don't get sick very often. You know, I'm relatively healthy. 37 00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.959 But I think because I rarely get sick, when I 38 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.159 do start to feel like, okays off a little bit here, 39 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.079 I probably turn into I don't know what do they 40 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.200 call it, a hypochondriac. Is that's somebody that thinks they 41 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:06.680 have everything. 42 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.120 Oh yeah, and you're dying basically.

She was off 47 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.840 because of the holiday, I had to call in and 48 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.719 head to the doctor because you know, I just's I 49 00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.759 knew I needed to get something taken care of. And 50 00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:27.680 I don't know, maybe I need to use the platform 51 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.800 here to raise awareness that that the man flew is 52 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.719 real and what women should be a little more supportive 53 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:36.759 of their husbands when they're when they're not feeling well, 54 00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.120 because you know, I'm I mean, I was just laid 55 00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:43.400 up feeling like death yesterday, and I mean she was 56 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.479 there but didn't make me any soup, didn't, you know, 57 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:49.599 just I mean honestly didn't even like runs to the 58 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.599 store rest. She was doing her cleaning mode and she's 59 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:55.479 making all kinds of noise, and I'm like, can you 60 00:02:55.520 --> 00:02:57.599 not tell that I'm dying over here about. 61 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:58.280 A little bit of courtesy? 62 00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.680 Did you get asked to clean too while you were sick? 63 00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:02.960 Or did she the curtis No, but she did the 64 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:07.159 real uh passive aggressive cleaning, like wanting wanting me to 65 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.680 make sure she wanted to make sure that I was 66 00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.080 aware that she was cleaning pots are yeah, exactly, just 67 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:14.680 to get it, just to make you know. So that 68 00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.360 way I got to get up and try to help out, 69 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.479 which I did, but yeah, she made. 70 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.240 It all that extra some puffs. 71 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.680 Yeah, I mean it was it was, it was rough, 72 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.639 and I thought I might have the flu. Thought maybe 73 00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.719 I don't know, is it apparently Dwight and Tony had pneumonia, 74 00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.159 somethinking maybe I got something from them something bad last week. 75 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.960 And everybody that I know that has been sick, that 76 00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.080 has had to like miswork or whatever it may be, 77 00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.400 they've they act as if it's been the worst sickness 78 00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.080 they've had in a long time. So I wish I 79 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.000 could tell you that that that that I was down 80 00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.560 that bad. But I think I'm just really weak because 81 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:48.879 I ended up getting looked at and it's just a 82 00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.719 sinus infection, which you know is the thing good. It's nothing, 83 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.879 it's nothing crazy sure yesterday. I mean rarely do I 84 00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:56.400 ever feel like, all right, I got to make the call, 85 00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:57.840 like I don't think I'm gonna be able to do it. 86 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:58.000 Well. 87 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.840 One, I couldn't stop cough, and that's clearly an issue 88 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:02.400 whenever you have. 89 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.120 A talk show, of course it is. You don't want 90 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:04.960 to be coughing up along. 91 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:06.840 And it wasn't one of those like where I just 92 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:08.439 had like a really bad throat. 93 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:09.479 I just out of nowhere. 94 00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:11.639 I would just start I would have like a coughing spell, 95 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:14.599 and that's gotten better. My voice, I don't think is 96 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:17.519 one hundred percent, but I'm not coughing nearly as much 97 00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.399 as I was yesterday. I've been taking some meds, popping. 98 00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.560 I'll be profing like crazy. So we're good, ready to 99 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:24.439 ready to rock and roll. 100 00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:26.759 Having a good case of fomo, because I feel like 101 00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.360 everybody in this office has been sick except me. Now, 102 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:32.480 you mentioned something last week. I sounded like that. I 103 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.000 may have had like a little bit of scratchiness. I 104 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.639 think of anything. That's probably been the worst of it now, 105 00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.879 probably about a month ago, after Christmas or around the holidays. 106 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.800 I really did get my ass kicked with that. So 107 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.560 maybe I caught it early before everyone else, and that's 108 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.279 the cool thing to do nowadays. But I'm so glad 109 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.079 I've avoided it and I've been here every day, but 110 00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.879 it seems like there's been a mixture of everyone in 111 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.040 this office that has gotten that. 112 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.160 Do you think I'm a jerk for coming to work 113 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.959 knowing that I'm sick. No, No, I step right into 114 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.439 your office. I am your germ bubble. So I'm gonna 115 00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.120 take this, this super spread, this shock, this pop filter 116 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.079 thing that's on this microphone, I'm gonna take it with 117 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:10.639 me when I leave. 118 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:11.000 Today. 119 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:12.720 We actually have a few extra ones in here, so 120 00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.160 I'm just gonna put a different one on and I'm 121 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.839 just gonna this will be the Nick Sick pop filter, 122 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.800 because honestly, rarely do people ever use this microphone or 123 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.160 this studio that I that I'm aware of. 124 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.920 Now, that's true, it's not mine. 125 00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:24.920 So, but usually how I know if somebody uses it, 126 00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.800 as if I come back in here when I log 127 00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.279 in to do the show, if nobody, if it still 128 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.519 shows that I was the last person logged in, that 129 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.279 that means nobody's used it. And typically it's there's not 130 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:36.879 many people that come in here. So but the reason 131 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.680 I am that I'm here instead of doing the show 132 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.120 from home is because I no longer had the option 133 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.399 to do the show from home because snow that, of course, 134 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.879 has has been coming down for the last couple of days. 135 00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:50.680 It has. 136 00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:54.240 It has led to my kid's daycare deciding to close. 137 00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.560 And look, I know I've talked about this before and 138 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.839 I'm sure none of you care. And that's usually something 139 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:05.480 I shouldn't want to tell I shouldn't bring up things 140 00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:07.560 that I know my audience doesn't care about, because you 141 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:08.120 know that's not. 142 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:09.000 Really how this works. 143 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.319 But also, I got a platform, I got to use it, 144 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.199 and it's gonna make me feel better for just like 145 00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:18.759 a milliseconds. So give me just a minute here and 146 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.879 I'll lay out sort of what what I don't understand. 147 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.920 And I've done this before, and I guess it's just 148 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:31.079 an insecurity with me that I just need somebody to reassure. 149 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.000 Me that that I'm not in the wrong here and. 150 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.680 That that I have, I guess, the right to be 151 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.360 as outraged as I am. And this has been a 152 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.000 thing for years now. So if you're like a loyal 153 00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.639 listener and you remember this show, when we have whether 154 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.040 that impacts you know, your commute, whether it be schools 155 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.560 out that kind of stuff. Like I've talked about this 156 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:54.120 many times over the years, but when my son goes 157 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:59.000 to daycare and it snows, his daycare really like they 158 00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.120 close early, as if they're a school that has to 159 00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.439 get like that, they that has to get buses, you know, 160 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.279 out in the treacherous weather to get. 161 00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:09.040 Kids home safe. 162 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.199 And I've I mean So the reason I couldn't do 163 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:13.560 the show from home is because my wife had to 164 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.800 leave work early so she could go and and and 165 00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.680 get Moose from daycare because they're closing early because it 166 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:20.079 was snowing. 167 00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:22.279 By the way, there's no issue with any roads at all, 168 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:23.639 none at all. 169 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.279 Not a I mean I there's no I didn't see 170 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.519 any any road and I'm talking I drove here from 171 00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.120 from where I live in Bullet County. There's nowhere that 172 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:36.120 looked as if the roads were even remotely an issue 173 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.439 at all. But when they get a chance to, when 174 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.600 they get a chance to not work and close early, 175 00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:41.360 they're going to do it. 176 00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:42.079 And it just does. 177 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:45.000 It's never made any sense because again, daycare becomes more 178 00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:48.879 of like we need your services that we pay for 179 00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.040 more whenever you know, this kind of stuff's going on, 180 00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.240 and I just there can't. I mean, is anybody ever 181 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:02.199 had their kid in a daycare that follows like closures 182 00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:06.079 like schools do? I mean, I've never understood that, because again, 183 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:13.120 the reason schools are closing because of snow or you know, 184 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.519 weather or whatever it may be, it is because they 185 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.199 have buses, and those buses take kids to school, and 186 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.959 it's dangerous thing. But parents don't get to not work 187 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.920 whenever there's snow on the ground. I mean, some people 188 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:26.639 do have the ability to work from home. And if 189 00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:28.720 you have like enough PTO built up and you're somebody 190 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.519 that's scared to drive in the snow, or you're bad 191 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.159 at it, whatever may be like, but it's not really 192 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.200 just the thing that, Okay, looks like we got a 193 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.039 little bit of snow on the ground. So everybody's off 194 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.200 work today, so whenever you your kids don't have school 195 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.600 and then they need to go to daycare or I mean, 196 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:46.519 I've never been able to understand it. So today my wife, 197 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.720 she she went and got Moose and came home, and obviously, 198 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:51.919 you know, he's he's a little one, and I think 199 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:53.279 it would be it would have been fine, but I 200 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.600 don't want him yelling and hollering while I'm on the air. 201 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.240 And she's not. You know, she's not a broadcaster. She 202 00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:00.639 works a different in a different field. So therefore, you know, 203 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:02.919 she can probably deal with him and work more so 204 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.720 than I could if I'm you know, hosting a radio show. 205 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.440 So that's why I came in today. I was going 206 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:09.519 to be at home, and I just have never I've 207 00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:11.600 never understood. And here's what's crazy is that, Like when 208 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:14.320 they know snow, like you'll I drop Moose off at 209 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:16.799 nine fifteen this morning at daycare, they sent a thing 210 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.200 at ten forty five saying because it's snowing, they're closing 211 00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.639 at noon. 212 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.000 Every kid has to be picked up. 213 00:09:21.080 --> 00:09:21.720 Like it's insane. 214 00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:24.519 I mean, it's it's insanity and it's been that way 215 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.639 for years, and why you drop them off at that? Yeah, 216 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.240 like and again what is you well? And we don't, 217 00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.080 we don't mess with it, like, we don't ever like 218 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.960 push back because he likes sit there, He's. 219 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:35.919 Gone there for a long time. 220 00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.960 He'll actually no longer be a daycare kid by the 221 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.840 time we get to like, which is crazy. 222 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.159 To say, boys, he's growing up. 223 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.360 Yeah, and that's not fun. But I'm very much looking 224 00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:46.960 forward to not having to deal with this kind of 225 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.399 stuff again, just like now. And we're fortunate that we 226 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.279 do have some flexibility with like our schedules and what 227 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:52.519 we do. 228 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.480 But a lot of people don't. 229 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.279 I mean they just like you tell somebody, hey, your 230 00:09:56.360 --> 00:09:58.960 kid's got to be picked up at noon on no notice, 231 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.279 Like you're probably gonna be able to figure it out 232 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.840 some way, but I don't know, maybe. 233 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.039 Not, Yeah, I mean for the reason that they think 234 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:10.000 that they're closing down for like and they want you 235 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.080 to come pick it back up during the whole or 236 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:15.279 pick a chop back up in this weather, Like that's 237 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.360 the reason that they're closing down, Like why didn't you 238 00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:19.679 like let us know this before we drop them off, 239 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.840 So now you had to go through the trouble of 240 00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.960 going out into what they probably presume is dangerous or 241 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.600 they don't want people on the road. That's a reason 242 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.159 that they're shutting down anyways. 243 00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.519 Right exactly, So they don't care about us having to 244 00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:34.799 scramble in the snow. But you know, I this has 245 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.919 been a thing for many years, and there's new there's 246 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:41.000 a new management that kind of runs it, but it's 247 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.720 still owned by the same people. But for whatever reason, 248 00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.279 they just at some point adopted like we're going to 249 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.799 do what the school system does. And then they started 250 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:51.159 to like not even do that, and they just decide randomly, yeah, 251 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.639 it's cold outside, see you next week, like so whenever 252 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.120 it became a thing, like people are just used to 253 00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.279 it now that go there. But initially there was some 254 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.759 pushback and we would have like a forum, you know, 255 00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:02.679 on this app where you can like get updates on 256 00:11:02.679 --> 00:11:05.840 the daycare. And people would say, okay, well, like just 257 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.559 because why are you why are you closing because it's snowing? 258 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:11.159 Like what we we want to get our employees home 259 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:13.679 safe because we care about their safety, which is such 260 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:15.600 a crutch. How are you gonna you know that that's 261 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:17.480 just a it's a it's an automatic thing you can 262 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:18.879 go to to make it seem as if you're just 263 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.080 worried about people being safe, rather than it be that 264 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.799 you're actually, you know, I don't know, maybe not wanting 265 00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:24.799 to work a full day, but yet take our money, 266 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:28.200 like we we don't get any credits for them, Take 267 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.519 having our kids for an hour or two hours whenever 268 00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:32.559 it's supposed to be closer to I don't know, six 269 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:33.679 seven hours, maybe eight. 270 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:36.200 So you know, the. 271 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.759 Pushback was, well, we just we worry about our staff. 272 00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:41.240 We want to make sure they can get home safe 273 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.919 so the roads don't get bad. I'm thinking, well, do 274 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:45.399 you realize that, like nobody else does that, Like that's 275 00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.159 not just that's not a thing, and it's such a 276 00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:51.080 you know, every every company's different, right, the type of 277 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.840 job it is type of industry they could be more flexible. 278 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:56.200 There's certain jobs to where like there's never any downtime, 279 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.919 right like you work like that. There's assembly lines that 280 00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:02.879 you know have people work working them throughout the entire day. 281 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.840 Twenty four seven, three sixty five. 282 00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:07.200 Oh, when I worked at UPS, when it snowed, that 283 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.120 was the day that they needed you in the most. 284 00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:13.120 Exactly exactly, So you know, it's I know that nobody 285 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.360 cares about this, but I I didn't plan on doing 286 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.440 the show here today. I didn't plan on leaving the house. 287 00:12:19.039 --> 00:12:21.240 And it's not like you know, the end of the world. 288 00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:22.559 I got to get in the car and drive here. 289 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.159 In fact, it's better for my mental health to leave 290 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.360 the house because if I I do just sit around, 291 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:26.720 I just. 292 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.000 It's it's sad. 293 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:32.440 But I also walked in here hoping like certain people 294 00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:34.559 didn't see me because they're going to think, oh, you're sick, 295 00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:38.000 you shouldn't be here, because like Vinattie told me that 296 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.440 he was going to blame me, and I don't know 297 00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:40.960 if he did it on the air, but whenever him 298 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:42.519 and Dwight get really sick, that they were going to 299 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.240 put all the blame on me because I'm the only 300 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.679 one that has kids, and I happened to be in 301 00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:48.360 the has studio for a few days the week before 302 00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.320 they got sick because I was filling in for Tony Cruz. 303 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:53.240 So vallid blame, but I listened. I don't think that 304 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:53.799 they mentioned it. 305 00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:58.559 Yeah, So anyways, I just I've never ever been able 306 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.960 to hear from anybody body who has had a daycare 307 00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.240 that's similar to where if it's if it's rain and 308 00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.000 hard or if it's maybe gonna snow, they're just deciding 309 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:10.519 to not be open, and it's like, well, then, like what, 310 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:18.039 I just I'm the rationale behind following what a school 311 00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.480 system does makes no sense considering that if if schools 312 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.559 didn't have buses and it was just a requirement that 313 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.759 you bring your kid every day, would we even have 314 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.399 the same level of like being on alert about a 315 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.759 snow day. No, It's like they don't quite grasp that 316 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.960 they're not a school. Yes, they have they take care 317 00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.759 of kids, and there is an educational component to what 318 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.279 they do to where they teach our kids. 319 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:42.720 Which is great. 320 00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.840 But the reason that there are school closures is because 321 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:49.879 of buses. That's that's that's why that is why. 322 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.200 Now when you came in to day, did you kind 323 00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:53.120 of like sneak in back here, like not want to 324 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.039 be seen, or was there like a whole greeting part 325 00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.039 because there's a ton of people here, We got. 326 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:59.399 People in the ceilings, people put. 327 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.480 Today, thinking like, all right, because of the weather, it'll 328 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.200 probably be easy for me to just kind of sneak in. 329 00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.320 I pull in the garage and everybody's here, I'm like, 330 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:12.440 oh man, I'm gonna look like a big jerk. And look, 331 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:14.200 I could have I could have called and said, well, hey, 332 00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.320 I don't know if I'm gonna be able to do 333 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.000 the show from home, because if I do, you know, 334 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.960 my four year old son might maybe running around raising 335 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:24.080 hell because you know, it's just what a four year 336 00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:26.759 old does sometimes. Then I would look like the bad guy, 337 00:14:26.840 --> 00:14:28.960 like not wanting to work when it's clearly not that. So, 338 00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:31.759 you know, I'm sure other people have had much bigger 339 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.840 problems than I have. It's just I've it's one thing 340 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.240 that I just I want to just have like an 341 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:40.080 intervention with my kid's daycare and be like, do you 342 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.639 understand that you're not that's not the same thing here, 343 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.159 Like we need you to be like, for example, my daughter, 344 00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:50.679 you know, she didn't have in school today because she 345 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.480 because of the flooding and whatnots they're on NTI like 346 00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.600 that alone throws us for a little bit of a wrench. 347 00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.159 And then whenever you've got daycare now just deciding yeah, 348 00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.679 we're closing at noon because it was snowing. This Like 349 00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:03.000 if they're sitting at their house right now, the people 350 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.559 who decided, yeah, we're gonna call it a day and 351 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:06.679 go home, like do they like, what do you do 352 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.639 you think you made the right decision to be saved? 353 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.120 You just wanted to take a half a day. 354 00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.519 I mean, like the roads were never bad and they're 355 00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.039 not bad now now maybe they get bad. 356 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.440 Later we'll see, but it's supposed to happen. 357 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:21.320 Yeah, and by the way, are we I mean the flooding, 358 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:22.559 which we'll get into some of that a little bit 359 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.639 later on. Because I mean, I think I think we 360 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.159 can say that at least in my lifetime this I'll 361 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:30.480 be thirty seven. This summer, I think that the early 362 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:34.720 month and a half or so two months I should say, 363 00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:38.279 of twenty twenty five weather it sucked. I mean we've 364 00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.480 had a lot of winter weather more so than we 365 00:15:40.519 --> 00:15:43.440 typically get. It stayed really cold for a long time 366 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.320 to where that winter mess just lingered and wouldn't melt. 367 00:15:47.519 --> 00:15:49.840 And then of course the rain. I mean, they knew 368 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.639 we were gonna be getting a lot of rain, and 369 00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:55.080 we did. I feel very blessed that my basement didn't flood, 370 00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.639 But I mean it's the kind of rain that you know, 371 00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.399 you don't see very often around here. 372 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.480 And then again, I'm not I'm not gonna make. 373 00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:03.879 It about the meteorologists today, but I do feel like 374 00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.159 the snow that we woke up to on Sunday morning, 375 00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.279 that was. 376 00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:09.600 Who was talking about that? 377 00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:09.840 Now? 378 00:16:09.919 --> 00:16:13.200 No, maybe maybe the attention was so much on the 379 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.440 rain and how scary and severe that it was, which 380 00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:17.879 of course would be understandable, But I don't know if 381 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.679 any I mean I was watching the weather more than 382 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:24.120 ever because I wanted to see just how bad the 383 00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.240 flooding was going to be and which areas we need. 384 00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:27.720 I mean, it was we were. 385 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.480 I was probably watching it more than I typically do, 386 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.000 and I didn't remember seeing anything about any snow coming 387 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.240 on Sunday morning. Now, No, I knew we were going 388 00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:36.120 to get it this week, and it sounds like we 389 00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.600 already I mean we already got some of it earlier today. 390 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.120 It was snowing this morning, and then on my way 391 00:16:41.159 --> 00:16:44.360 in wasn't snowing. I guess maybe this evening it's supposed to. 392 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:49.360 So stay safe. You know, I cannot I can't remember 393 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:50.720 a two month. 394 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:55.559 Roughly stretch where we've had this kind of weather that's impacted. 395 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:57.720 I mean, we've got I feel like we live in Buffalo, 396 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:58.200 New York. 397 00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:59.799 Yeah, I mean we've got. We've got. 398 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.799 The death count is up to fourteen after the floods, 399 00:17:02.840 --> 00:17:04.519 which is just I mean that's awful. 400 00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:06.839 And I mean I. 401 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:10.079
