Heyle cheaters.

Welcome to the Always Cheating podcast.

My name is Josh.

I'm happy to be back. Brandon, if you're suffering from bad COVID, right? I've heard of...

Yeah, there's a spectrum. And I got the bad end of it, which still out there, my friend. Yeah.

I'm happy to be here, though. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you?

Great. I'm so glad to have you back, my partner in crime. It was, I was bummed that you got so sick last week just for your own health.

But a big thanks to Dave, Wegener, Lodolph, for stepping in on the main pod and the Patreon pod. But it's just not been the same without you around, Josh. So you,

you were tuckered out and you lost your voice last week. It sounded pretty, pretty miserable.

I could even talk. Yeah, people talk about, you know, I'm one of these white collar workers that

had been working remotely for two years. And, you know, we started going back to the office. And, you know, people have talked about the complaints about going back to the office. Like, oh, you know, I'm just more productive at home. You know, it's like I don't want all the distractions. The other reason is like, I don't want to get COVID. You know, it was like, like two weeks after commuting back to the office again, you know, I'm in those subway for 40 minutes, you know, in the morning and the evening, like poorly ventilated, people barely wearing their masks. Like, of course I was going to get COVID right away. I lived in part, you know, two years in Brooklyn didn't get it once. and then got it right up the bat. So, yeah, I was just, I was surprised how bad it was.

You know,

you hear these stories about these,

you know,

Rafinia gets COVID and it's like,

oh, okay,

well, And then got it right off the bat. So, yeah, I was just, I was surprised how bad it was. You know, you hear these stories about these, you know, refina gets COVID. And it's like, oh, okay, we'll see him in, he'll be fine. We'll see him in 10 days, you know. But Josh landed against COVID. And I was like knocked out for, I was like a ghost, you know, I was talking to my wife about this. I was like, I got my personality back after like five days. I had no personality for five days. It was just gone. It's crazy. Now, if you were to show me a picture of Rafini's torso and his abs, shirtless, and yours, I would say, who's more likely to get bad COVID? I don't know. I don't know if I could distinguish. I'm not sure, but I know, but I have lost, you know, I've lost 25 pounds last year. I go to the gym all the time. I was like, you know, like I, you're on that athletic greens too, Josh. Backed and boosted, you know, on the, on the athletic greens thing, I'm like, you know, see?

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

There's the cough right there.

Geez, you know, so.

Well, yeah, so neither you or I had had a single positive COVID test over the last two plus years.
