about it now. Somebody who's smart, give me a historical ruling on this. Can the Supreme Court, or do they as a precedent, do they take into consideration that what they're doing might affect how people vote, especially in a presidential election? Do they take that into account?

Because I would think that the Supreme Court would time any decisions to have the smallest impact on politics, which would suggest that they would make this kind of a decision right after an election cycle, not right before a two-year cycle with both a congressional race and a presidential race. Right? So events always change elections, but not something this big and not directly coming from the Supreme Court. I think that might matter. We'll see.

So I went to watch Top Gun last night. How many of you have seen the movie Top Gun? It's the first time I've been excited to see a movie in, I don't know, years. And so here's my review: totally delivered. It totally delivered.

If you say to me, Scott, there were many cliches in that movie, I will say to you, yes there were. But they did all the good ones. Those are the ones you go to movies for. It's not that there are cliches. They all have cliches. It's just that some are good ones. Like the noble person who sacrifices. Well, that's a good cliche. I'll watch that all day long. You know, the person who was afraid but then they became brave. I'll watch that all day long. Yeah, it makes me happy.

I don't like it when somebody's tied to a chair to be tortured. That's just bad writing, really. You can't get through an entire movie script without somebody tied to a chair like every other movie. Top Gun? Nobody's tied to a chair.

And Top Gun, now I think that Tom Cruise is the one who gets the credit for the quality of his movies. He's obviously working with the best producers and writers and everything, so you know his staff is super talented. But I feel like he must be looking at the script and saying, you know, take out this tied-to-a-chair part. Unless he has those in Mission Impossible. Maybe he has some of those. I don't know.

But I feel like because he has so much control over his movies, he's the one who's getting rid of the bad cliches and keeping the good ones that are the reason you pay for the movie in the first place. It was a good thing. I would have said half an hour shorter. It was a little too long.

Now I have to tell you this. Since I've been uninterested in movies and I don't really go to music festivals and stuff like that, this I think is the first time that I can remember since the beginning of the pandemic and even longer that I was in a crowd. An unmasked crowd. And I didn't realize how long it had been. And I have to admit there was some part of me that thought, uh oh, am I going to get COVID from being in an unmasked crowd for the first time in two and a half years or whatever?

It turns out I did not have to worry about that. Now the other people had to worry about it, because it turns out I have COVID. But I didn't know that at the time. And so as I was watching the movie, and toward the end of the movie, I was thinking, why does my body hurt so much? Why does every muscle in my body hurt while I'm just sitting here watching the movie?

And then it started to grow. It was like I think my fingernails hurt. I don't have much hair, but what I have is hurting. Why does everything hurt? And a little bit of a dry cough starting to form. So I immediately went home and tested, and yep, I got the COVID.

So the irony is I did not have to worry about catching COVID at the movie theater, but the people next to me, they should be worried. So if you happen to be next to me, if you happen to be watching the 3:45 showing in Dublin on the IMAX theater and you're sort of toward the right and the middle, now I feel really bad about this. But the people that sat directly to the left were masked. Oh, maybe you're saving them. Who knows?

So let me tell you what last night was like, because you're going to ask. I did have the initial two vaccinations, so I'm not boosted, because I thought, well, I'll just get that Pfizer pill or whatever it is if anything comes up. So I go home last night and I'm thinking, man, I got to get me that Pfizer pill or whatever it is, the one you get. And you know, so first of all you're on the phone for an hour to get your health care provider, and then they say they'll book something. So I've got to have a Zoom call with a doctor after I'm done with this, and then I'll get a prescription. Then I don't know how I'm going to get it, because I'm basically quarantined. Not basically, I'm quarantined. So this is a giant pain in the ass.

Now, wouldn't you think that at this point I should make a phone call and say I just tested positive, and some of that Pfizer pill would just show up on my doorstep? Is there a reason there isn't somebody literally driving that to my house? Because I gotta wait 24 hours to get the pill that you need to take right away. What? Really? I have to wait all that time to get a pill that they're definitely going to give me? You know, it's not like they're going to say, what, you have this certain condition, you can't have this pill. There's nothing like that, right? I mean, I don't have any weird conditions that w
