I have 100% called in sick from another state just as my friends and I were about to get on a gondola to go up to the top of a mountain.
I was on the phone saying I felt terrible when “NEXT CAR ARRIVING” or something similar blared over a loudspeaker.
“What was that?” they asked. “Oh, just the tv. fake cough”

Right? Weren’t they making some AI podcast or something as well?
None of that sounded good.
