Dude, is that you?

Yeah, welcome to my hospital room. Dude, I feel like I don't even know you. I know. I don't remember how to do a podcast. Like, we haven't hung out. Not that I ever knew how to do one. Like, I feel like I haven't hung out with you in so long. Yeah. Because we've been back from the cruise for a week. Right. And we'll talk all about this, but you've been at death's door for like a month. Yeah. I barely hung out with you on the cruise because you're always just like huddled up in your room under the covers. Yeah. I tried to come out and hang out, but I couldn't do it for very long. Dude. So tell people about that. Tell people about like... Well, I think everybody knows I got strep throat before he went on the cruise, shortly before New Year's. And then I got on antibiotics, and then the antibiotics seemed to be working. But then three days before the cruise, the day before we left for Florida, I came down with what I now know was bronchitis. And I just thought it was asthma. I just couldn't breathe and I was coughing. And so I just tried to get an inhaler. You know, did my best, Sean Astin from the Gooney's impression, had my inhaler with me all the time and always puffing on it. Yeah, you had like an epipan around your neck. Yeah, but it didn't do any good. I just kept coughing and not being able to breathe. And then we got on the boat for the cruise.

I'm thinking, it's going to go away and I'll get to at least enjoy a few days of the cruise. Not only does it not go away for the cruise, but we get back from the cruise. I'm still sick. And then a few days later, I start coming down with a fever, which was this last week, and I've just been laid up in bed. I mean, I've been to work one day in the past month, I think.

Yeah, you contracted like the SARS or something. Yeah, or the Zika. You got the, yeah, you got the foot and mouth or whatever they, whatever these tropical diseases. I always have the foot and mouth. But anyway, yeah, today, today's the first day that I've been up and around since we got back from the cruise. I haven't even seen you. Yeah. Yeah, usually at least see you more around the house or something. Yeah, I haven't seen you at all. The other day, I was messaging you on Messenger and I'm like, that's the first time we've talked in a while. I know. So, anyway. It's been really fun. So the cruise was awesome.

Was it?

Yeah, dude, you should have been there.

It looked awesome from my little vantage point that I was watching. Yeah, so we went to the Bahamas.

We went to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands in St. Martin.

And we almost died in St. Martin.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Dude, that was gnarly. Yeah.

So we, um, we got to, we chartered this boat, this guy, Captain Bob. Yeah. And we did,

Michael and I did his tour two years ago there in St. Martin. And we went to take you on it. Yeah.

So, um, but Captain Bob pawns us off onto some, some rookie. Well, no, that kind was like a pilot or captain or whatever you call him for like 10 years. He just, we got there. Good one. We got there. And Captain Bob said, it's really choppy out there today. And there's swell. There's swell. So we're going to give you guys the option to cancel if you want. But if you don't want to cancel, we're just not going to do the full tour because it's

too dangerous to go near the beaches and stuff. So, you know, it's up to you guys. And we were already there. We're like, okay, well, let's do the, he actually called it a three-hour tour. Let's do the three-hour tour.

Yeah.

I was going to let you go ahead.

Oh, okay.

Remember how we used to finish each other's sandwiches?

Mm-hmm. tour. Yeah. I was going to let you go ahead. Oh, okay.

I remember how we used to finish each other's sandwiches? Yeah, so I was all bummed, you know, like, oh man, because I was really looking forward to the snorkeling. Yeah. I was thankful. I carried my snorkeling gear halfway across the world for that. Yeah. I was thankful that we snorkeled in St. Thomas, you know, because that was pretty cool.
