The ad block opens with Shopify, which the hosts describe as the platform behind 10 percent of all US e-commerce.

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

Hantavirus Has a 30-40% Mortality Rate
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.
