Happy Hour #135: Covid Contemplations · Stuff Mom Never Told You

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, this is Anny and Samantha. I welcome to stuff
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I never told you. Correction by a heart radio.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm back. Annie has done so well too well
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: without me. I'm a little I'm a little sad, but
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: thank you so much for covering as I have been
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: very sick which is what I'm going to complain about
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: for this happy hour. But before we start in my
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: wine session, as I want to do, Yes, this is
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a happy hour. If we are talking about any brands
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: or anything, it is not the currently a sponsor. Things
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: can change, but just an FYI trigger warning, I am
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: talking about sicknesses and it's probably gonna have a little ableism,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: not because I'm trying to be ablest, but because, like
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: the reality is, we are so inundated and don't realize
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: when some of these things happen. That is very ablest
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: ideas or conversation. So I'm go go ahead and put
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that out there as well. But if you are partaking
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: in some drinks, be responsible. That's how we like to be. Annie,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: are you partaking?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: And partaking? Kind of made fun of me because I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: thought we're doing this first, but I already had so
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I went home to visit my mom, for her birthday
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this weekend, and she always gives me wine from the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: region for my birthday, so she had some for me
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm drinking some of.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: That nice like Wolf Mountain stuff.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, stuff like that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: There is a specific grape that is native to North Georgia,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: but it's also I think in Michigan then Michigan or
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: River it is near there. It is called Cynthiana. In
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Georgia it is called Orton, and I love the name difference.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I wonder why because it has Has it not been
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: trademarked or anything.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I looked into it once because
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I just thought, like, why are they so different? I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: think they were kind of new in heavy quotes, newly
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: discovered in terms of other wine grapes, and they were
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: discovered kind of concurrently. But there's sort of a judgments
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that goes on in Georgia if you call it Cynthiana,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: because it's like you're trying to get the nicer name
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: recognition because it does be Cynthiana versus Norton. One of
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: them is kind.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Of right, you know how it is in those small towns.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, very upset. You're trying to be too big for
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: your bridges, who we're not good enough for you. That's hilarious. Yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: So I am not drinking. I am sticking with my
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: water because I am still filling the aftermath and I
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: don't know what at one point constitutes long COVID. So yes,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: if you haven't been listening or if you didn't know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I did have COVID because my partner came home from
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: dragon Con ended up getting it from there. I took
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: care of him, and it was inevitable that because the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: first two nights, the first night he got here, maybe
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: even the two nights, he had a little cough, but
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: he was fine. I don't know if he had a cough.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think he just kept like doing the cleaning of
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the throat. But that was like we thought that was
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: just the dragon Con crud, the which is you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: everybody comes out with sniffles, whatever it may be. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he was fine. So he's like slept in the bed
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: with me and we were like, oh, I missed you whatever,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: And so he got COVID a week later. Exactly a
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: week later, I got tested. I tested positive for COVID,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: but I also had the symptoms beforehand, to the point
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that he's like you have COVID. I hear it d
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: da DA, But like we were in separate like floors
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: because he and I try to separate after he tested
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: positive and it was be rough. But yeah, so I
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: ended up getting in a week after. Turns out I'm
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: not immune. Very sad about that because I don't know,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm very I'm very like, there's so much to
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this illness that is so odd and so like different
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: from everything else, and that the flu you kind of
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: know all the symptoms and everybody has the same symptoms.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It is what it is. There's no like asymptomatic this
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: you maybe I'm wrong, Maybe you know, if you're a doctor,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: you can tell me that, yeah, you can be asymptomatic flu.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe I just don't understand that. But this one for
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: my partner and I, we weren't out and he and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I had different symptoms actually because he started off with
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a sore throat, then went into coughing,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and then had like to the point that he was
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: coughing so hard that there was blood in his philm
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: because of his throat, like of his esophagus, not in
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: his lungs. And then I didn't have that bad of
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: a cough until after the fact, but I had awful
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: headaches and a sinus drainage, and then the fever like.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I had pretty bad fever, and then a horrible sore
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: throat like and then I got the mouth rash. It
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: was freaky, to the point that my tongue I feel
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like has scraped off a whole layer from whatever it was.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Whatever it was, and my taste buds have not completely changed,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: but it's different and it feels raw. So I'm very
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: baffled by this. But so it's been I've hit my
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: ten day period of after the initial test. I am
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: now like my actual strips shows as clear and it's fine.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: My voice is still kind of different. I'm still coughing
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but I now have the heavier chest,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and I'm having a hard time with fatigue, like to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the point that if I try to do anything for
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: more than thirty minutes, I get very winded. Yesterday I
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: actually got so dizzy that I almost collapsed, and then
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I've had some weird chest pain. I'm a little worried
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: that I may have what is now being considered long COVID,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: even though it's only been a couple of weeks. I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: freaking out though, because if those are long term damages,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm gonna do.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: It is, yeah, it is scary.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I had a much less rough time than you when
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I got COVID. I just needsed a lot for two days.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: But I thought I still think I might. But I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for a while I thought I had long COVID because
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: it was mostly concentration and what they call COVID fog,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: like you just get like almost confused or something. And
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: then I have long problems, but I haven't had them
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: noticeably in a long time, Like it's still there, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I just haven't felt it. But after I got COVID,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: like if I take a deep breath, it tickles like
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's I can feel it, and it is scary to think.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: It's scary to think that, Like, oh, I guess that's
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: just how it is.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Right. So I have a birthday trip coming up, the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: first trip in three years, and I'm excited. But it's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: going to be a lot of walking and like activity,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and like I said, as I've been doing small things
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: here and there, I have been. And when I say fatigued,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I'm not just talking about like, oh, I'm tired. I've
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: talked about the fact that I may have I'm like,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I wonder if I have like a light case of narcolepsy,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: and that when I get stressed or anxious, or when
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I get into like shopping malls with the bright lights
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and fluorescent lights, I get zapped very quickly, like a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: couple hours, and I feel like all the energy has
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: been drained from me and I need to lay down,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and I will stop talking and I will have stopping
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: having emotions. Like I'm just like, like everything just feels
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: that And I'm not a very fast walker anyway, but
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: I'm even slower, so for my partner who goes like
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: he's mister speedy, and I'm like, oh no, you're about
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to be two blocks ahead of me because we're done.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: But it's gotten that bad, and it still is that
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: bad that I'm like, oh no, what's this going to
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: do for my trip? I wasn't you know, anticipating this.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: And then also I get very lightheaded and dizzy. I'm
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: not good at travel, so I get really easy emotion sickness,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: but that also has like nauseousness and like lightheaded, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: so I'm like, oh God, how is this going to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: affect me being in a plane for a couple of hours,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: which I will be wearing a mask, and I'm kind
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: of anxious about that because I don't want people to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: yell at me for wearing a mask, which by the way,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: has been a thing too.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought about that when because you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: asked me, like what should you do and for your
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: birthday and so many of the things, I'm like, well,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that involves a lot of walking. That involves some walking,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that involved in walking.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: All of us involved walking. Because the way I've planned this,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: it is not by burrows. I'm just like, eh, like
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I've I've only put three different reservations. One of them
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is very like Hardt reservation. So I got it a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: month ago, so that was pre COVID for us. And
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know where in that neighborhood is in but
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: then I have lunch somewhere else and I'm pretty sure
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: it's a completely different neighborhood. But it's like seven hours stretch,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: so it's not like too hard for me to get
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: from one plaice of the other. But I realized how
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: little that I put in that effort, and then like
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: on one day I would like to do Chelsea Market
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: and just go and check it all out. I don't
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: have a lot of plans. I don't have anything planned
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: for the actual birthday because I'm like, I don't love
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: planning everything out. I do. Obviously, we have to do
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: reservations or you're not going anywhere. So we did like
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: three good reservations, and then everything else is just like, well,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: let's see what we can find, what we can do.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can get in because there's only two of us,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can just sit at the bar or whatever. Yeah,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know if I did this correctly.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: It's been a while I've been to New York, but
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: every time I've ever been to New York, it's very pointed,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: like there's reasons I'm going, whether it's friend planning the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: whole thing, or like what had to do a trip
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: for something like so, or I'm just going through for
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a day or two, so very like unsure of where
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going, but like also worried that I'm like, I'm sorry,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be so messed up with the fact
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that he and I are still coughing, and the fact
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: that I get very dizzy to the point that I
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: almost collapse or or the fact that like, yeah, I
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: don't know if my taste but they're gonna be okay
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: because I love extra spicy food. But as of recent
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: it actually burns my tongue. Yeah, like hurts, and I've
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: never had that. I was like, what the I'm very
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: upset by that, y'all.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: That's fair, that's upsetic.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But yeah, there's so many it's so upsetting. I just
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: want to good food. So there's a lot of things.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And in this like trying to figure out, y'all again,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: my partner and I really had all the symptoms, like
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: it was bad. I had a one hundred and two
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: fever and for me, my regular temperature is like ninety
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: seven point four, so I run cold. That is a
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: high temperature for me, one hundred and two hundred and one.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And then and I had that for two days. I
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: couldn't talk for two days because my voice was so
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: my throat, my mouth, it wasn't actually my tht like,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it wasn't in my throat, it was at the top
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: of my throat, the uvula is like it all got
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: swelled up, like I had the white specks all over
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: my the top of my mouth and like I thought
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it was just like like where when you get tonsilitis
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you see like the sores. It wasn't, and it freaked
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: me out. I was like, oh my god, what is
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: this inside my mouth? I had all the things so
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: like it was really rough, and I wondered if it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: because the first time that I've ever actually had COVID,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: because I've never experienced that whatsoever. But then we had
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: people who were within that group, who all who may
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: have tested for COVID but had no symptoms none, And
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I was really freaked out by that.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bizarre because I've seen that too.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: I have seen this huge range of.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: What people experience when they get COVID, to the point
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: where I'm like that sounds like the stomach virus and
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: they're like, no, that was COVID. I'm like okay or no,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like it just like it doesn't feel very consistent. It
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: feels very specific based on the person who gets it
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and when they get it, where they get it. But
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: it is widely ranging.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Right, and again, my partner and I had different symptoms
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: even Yeah, it had to be the same strain, right.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I would assume.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But we've also talked about that too, because when your
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: partner first got it. I was remembering the times we've
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: talked about instances in our lives where somebody has gotten
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: it in a household and then somehow, even despite being
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: in contact with that person, maybe even despite of not
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: being vaccinated, they.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Never got it right. So it's just hard to predict.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know. I haven't said it that
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: we did get paxlovid, which is what is used for
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: the treatment of COVID today, and I think we felt
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: better after like the four day period. Like I said,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just really fatigued still. But again, if I'm not
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: maybe like predisposed to have like some type of narcolyptic
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: reaction or just like that type of reaction anyway, the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: shutdown reaction, maybe that's why I'm more likely to be fatigued. Still.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: He seems to be doing a lot better than I am,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: but his cough is a lot worse than mine. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: it's interesting. But with all of that, I also have
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: COVID brain, I think, because I can't think of a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: thing right now. I just lost my train and Fox
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: literally just spaced out.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: She's got the COVID.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Fuck, oh my god. So, like I think it really
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: is important. So if you if you do test positive,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I tell, like I would tell most people, if you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: can grab it. And the way we did it, we
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: actually went to non a sponsor CVS like a minute clinic,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: so if you can find a minute clinic of sorts,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and we did telehelp and the nurse practitioner they were
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: very kind, kind of hard to like they knew what
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: was going on, and they like think they could could
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: tell by my boys that there's something wrong. And but
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: the only problem was like trying to get the medication
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was kind of a hassle. But like getting it, I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: think it is important. But again I told you and
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: bridget packs, a little bit of mouth is a thing
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: where it tastes like rotten, Like it's just like a constant.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: So have some kind of like hard candy or something
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: on hand because it does affect and it affects how
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: you taste everything.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Oh it was bad. It was bad.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, it was real bad. So just enough why I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: do it, But be prepared because like I just saw
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: a TikTok video. It was funny. After I did all that,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: it shows that it popped up there like no one
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: was talking about this enough. It messes you up but
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: worth it, but you need to do it. I really think,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: like again, because our case was pretty severe. I don't know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I can't safe for share that we would have been
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: hospitalized for something. But my partner at one point I
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: like slept in the living room because he was upstairs
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: because I wanted to make sure I could hear him,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: just to get something went down.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I saw today that. I mean, I probably
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: everyone who's listening notes, but there has been a huge
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: uptick in cases and the government is going to start
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: sending you can get free tests again on September twenty fifth,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: so sign up for that. They were saying, yeah, the
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: hospitalizations are yes.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: There's TikTok video with it where there is an actual
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's like something about treating. It's like the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: whole idea is like they will do a questionnaire online
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: and then send you free tests and if you send
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: tests positive, they'll help you get packed lovied like this.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: It is all free. It's all free service because of
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the uptick has gotten so bad. So I know that
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: there's little site everywhere that if you need free because
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I actually the packs love it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I got was free and I got I got the
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: new vaccine. It kicked for like one day, but I
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: feel much better now. Yeah, I got that.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: You also got the flu shot shot.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And that, but I feel much better.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The fact that you're only out for a day as
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: previously you're like that first, oh my gosh.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, no, I feel great. I actually sucked
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: really well, probably because.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Of the vaccine. Go to bed right now, no, do it? Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: but it's no joke. Like I know, we've talked. We
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: haven't talked about it enough recently. We just got like
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I've been lax. I've been laxed, but like there are
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: things like people living their daily lives, so it's harder
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to do to avoid it. This was unavoidable if we
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: were going to do an event like Dragon Con, I know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Comic Con and all these different kinds of cons are happening,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: it's inevitable people are going to get it and it's
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: going to be a huge uptick. And this new strain
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: gives no Apparently the new vaccine is supposed to be
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: specific to this new strain. But it's like it's bad,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm glad that we were Okay, I'm glad passle
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of it exists that I could access it. And I
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: know that it can be hard, but you can access it,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: just you may need to find like google how to
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: get free treatment. I will say because of the uptick,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: several pharmacists have run out, pharmacies have run out.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I will also say they're working to fix this.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: But there has been trouble with insurance getting the new vaccine.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Oh really certain insurances, yes, yes, so yeah. And there
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: is also a thing I saw and when I read
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the headline, I was like, yep, which is called COVID fatigue,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: where everyone's like, yeah, I'm gonna get it.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which is how I'm feeling.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Because I have this work trip and then I'm going
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to Earlando. I'm going to see what this vaccine does,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm going to try to be safe and avoid things,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna see and you and I we're gonna
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: check in once you get back from New York, once
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I get back for Orlando, when.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I have to have check in for a couple of weeks.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And then I'll get to see what episodes you do
• 19:15

• 19:18

• 19:23
  Speaker 3: I was like let's talk about Twister.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I don't love that movie. I'm good with that. You
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: want that.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: There was some that I was like, well, I have
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to come back when Samantha's better, because I know she
• 19:36

• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Well, y'all, please be safe an Yeah, be cautious as

  Speaker 2: cautious as you can. You can't. Unfortunately, there's no stopping life,

  Speaker 2: damn unfortunately, and there's no stopping COVID. It seems to
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: be a thing. To me. This was worse than the flu.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: So for those who were saying it's like the flu, oh,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I stopped breathing like for thirty seconds, I would point
