The Sick Day Debate: Go to Work or Stay Home?

He's a Rat! · Jun 1, 2026 Comedy

Bobby Lee argues that sick people should stay home and not infect others. Andrew flips it: everyone should go to work as sick as possible. His evidence is Carlos, who has never missed a day despite getting the entire touring crew sick in Denver. Bobby then blames Carlos for any future hantavirus infections he contracts.

The ad block opens with Shopify, which the hosts describe as the platform behind 10 percent of all US e-commerce. Bobby particularly evangelizes the purple Shop Pay button, calling it the best-converting checkout on the planet. Next up is QUO, introduced as the number one rated business phone system on G2 with over 3,000 reviews — Andrew pitches it as a solution for entrepreneurs who need professional phone presence without a separate office infrastructure. The Rocket Money read is the most personal: Bobby recalls how Andrew introduced him to the app years ago, and he has since saved thousands of dollars a year by canceling forgotten subscriptions. Andrew notes the platform has collectively saved all its users over $880 million in canceled subscriptions, making the case for anyone who has ever paid for a streaming service they forgot about.

Hantavirus Has a 30-40% Mortality Rate

He's a Rat! · Jun 1, 2026 Health & Fitness

Hantavirus kills 30 to 40 percent of the people who get it. The incubation period is 21 to 40 days — meaning you can carry it for over a month before you even know. Andrew clocked in another terrifying fact: kidney failure can hit within 4 to 10 days of symptoms. The one silver lining: you can't spread it until you're symptomatic.
