He riffs on how being sick as a kid was fun (French toast, Blockbuster movies, grandma's care) but as an adult nobody cares and every mild sickness feels like a rehearsal for a terminal diagnosis.
- Tim hadn't had strep throat since age 10, when being sick as a kid was actually fun.
- He'd rent movies from Blockbuster and his grandmother would make him French toast and grilled cheese while sick.
- Getting sick as an adult is hell because nobody makes you anything and nobody cares, even in a relationship.
- When younger, grandparents would shut down their lives to care for you, but that doesn't happen anymore.
- Tim describes staring at the back of his throat with strep and immediately thinking it's esophageal cancer.
- Every sickness after 30 is just a rehearsal for the big one, and you never know which illness will be it.
