Hello, and welcome to episode 641 of the Geek Boxer every other weekly podcast for all the video game stuff all year. It's hot. It's really dark. It's we have our fingers on the pulse of dead man.

This is a podcast for the week of March 6, 2023, and I'm your host Ryan Scott with me this week is Ryan Higgins. I'll be in Arizona bearing $30 million worth of Funko pops next week if anyone wants to join me.

Oh, geez, I forgot to add that to my list and Justin Haywald. Unfortunately. Unfortunately, you're just unfortunately, you're just unfortunately, you're here. Both. No, I'm happy to be me. I'm not happy to be here. I always want this podcast to die. Well, you know, it's the only podcast I'm really on now. So it's got to live forever. It doesn't though.

Otherwise, my my cartoon voice won't be out there for people to listen to. Right. What you need to do. What you need to do. Okay. Here's what you need to do here. Here's how you solve all your problems. Right. Great. You get angry at woke. Okay. Uh-oh. Okay. You start complaining about various population of the United States. You get your book deals.

No, I'm going to take my said podcast to my this subscription platform and relaunch it because I got canceled. Exactly. Exactly. Exactly. And then you just rake in the millions. And you just take these, you just take these poor suckers for every penny. Like thing is like what's wrong?

It's sad because it's sad because it's why don't we do this? Why don't we become racist and launch a thing for me? Just fake internet racist and take money from racists. It's just apparently the easiest thing on earth. I don't think they're fake. And we don't we just don't have that in us, Ryan.

It's so easy. We're all white. We can very easily convince people that we're just horrible bigots and just rake in millions and millions of dollars and secretly funnel it to a bunch of like democratic party stuff. They never know. It's it's it's really a great idea. I really should look into this. So what is this podcast about so much easier to drive genuinely don't understand. I kind of I've been spacing out for a few minutes. Go on YouTube eight hours a day.

Scream about people get really angry. Say a bunch of nonsense. Yeah, cast a check. Okay. Yeah. Great. Yeah. Well, we're not going to do that. We're just going to talk about video game. Okay. I guess we're not going to talk about video games because none of us play them except for Ryan Higgins.

All right. Well, you know what? Let's start off our new era here. Ryan, you got that that fake Democrat virus only kills less than a 1% of the population talk about your your fate. I did. I did. I did. I finally, you finally unlocked coronavirus. Are you the first one among us? You're running it.

Speedrunning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have not gotten it. I'm doesn't count. He's not here. I don't got it. And now me and that's I was out a couple of weeks ago. Would we record it? Because yeah. Myself and and Liam both got both got the Rona as as you like to say. I think the funniest revelation from this was that you shared a picture of your positive coronavirus test in our on our group chat.

This is. And Ryan Scott goes, is that a pregnancy test? Oh, yeah. I don't know because I don't know. That's a joke. Whatever. He's like, I don't know. I don't know. I'm so from context that that's a that that's a coronavirus test. Do you mean you got COVID-19 or like, how do you not know what a positive test looks like?

Why would I know this? I've never taken it. I've never taken a test. I've never I've never taken one. Why would I not do? That's still busy on the internet in the last three years. Have you not seen other people? Have you not seen a news report? Have you not sure? But I've never I'm not going to. I'm not going to take this in until unless I handle a test myself.

What what does a positive coronavirus test look like? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I know. I have never taken a COVID test because I've never I don't really do anything. Yeah, you don't need for house. So it's okay. I'm doing the correct thing, which is I don't do anything that gets me.

How do you don't know what they look like? Anyway, anyway, well, I don't know what the line. What would it two lines, three lines, four? What are all these? I don't know who knows. I have no idea. I'm sure if I read the instructions, I would know, but I've never had need to. Well, you know, now you know. Yeah, if I ever had to take one, I would read the instructions. So, you know, do you know? I don't know. Do you know, do you know how to do a dragon punch Ryan?

Cut is in the instructions. You've never needed to know that. Yeah, but this is like something a little bit more than that. This is, you know, anyway, anyway, anyway, that's her for people who go places. Yeah, me and the ampal thought we may be one of that lucky. I just seem to be getting less now 20% that I've never got. Yeah, COVID, but alas, alas, we didn't. So we actually got kind of sick, like, like, you know, the scale I've been using if like, you know,

10 is, you know, hospitalized with a ventilator. I mean, she was like a five, I mean, a bad flu, right? Okay, you know, okay, right?

Not great. So it's just like the flu is what you're telling us. Yes, yes, yes. The mild, at this point for vaccinated people, it presents that way, right?

In case the mild, mildish case is pretty, you know, is a bad flu. I fell into the almost more annoying. I mean, it's one thing when you're sick and you're sick and that's okay, you're sick. It's another thing when you're sick and you are not sick at all. Like, I had a runny nose. I was a little tired, but I wasn't sick.

But you're always a little tired. Yeah, right. This just sounds like you're describing your average day. Yeah. Yeah. No, I was a little more tired than normal, but I was all but asymptomatic. So, you know, I was fine. I, yeah, I never, you know, I, uh, we both did the, we both did the, uh, uh,

that's nasty. But, you know, better than, yeah, okay, yeah, dying. So, yeah. Yeah, yeah, not great, but, you know, uh, interesting experience wouldn't do it again.

six out of 10. Well, you were down during the podcast last week. Yeah. We recorded without you. Yeah.

So yeah, no good, but we're all good. Leanne's got that little cough that sticks around. See if
