when liars start getting overly specific with details and reporting actual numbers etc. They're full of it.
Yeah this. Nick does it a lot. Normal stories don't sound like that. Unless a number is particularly notable, people tend to leave them out entirely. Obviously 107 is notable, if I had a fever of 107 I would absolutely tell people that specific number, but it would be after I started the story with "holy shit, so I ended up in the hospital the other day because my brain was melting..." Nick just doesn't understand what he's saying, as evidenced by him revising that number to 102-103 the next morning.
How normal humans that aren't pathological liars would provide that information is "hey, sorry guys, I'm pretty sick, not going to be able to do a show." It feels unnatural to even provide generalities of the illness, let alone specific thermometer readings. Most people would only provide more information if it was requested.
>Sorry guys, I'm sick, not going to be able to do a show
>Oh that sucks, what's wrong?
>The flu or something, running a fever with body aches and stuff
>Oh shucks, hope you feel better
