No.73 I heard that you got COVID, and I was so concerned,
but I'm happy to see you and talk to you.
And could you walk me through what was it like
and when did it happen?

Bryan:
Yeah, it was early on in March, just around the same time
that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson got it.
My wife and I got it. And I thought, you know,
they came out with it right away and I thought, that's great.
There's no need for another celebrity to say,
"Hey, I got it too." So I just kept it quiet.
And we're very lucky, very lucky.
So many people are suffering 'A' from this.
But my wife and I had about a week of extreme exhaustion
and some body aches, a little dry cough,
and then it was gone.
We didn't have any fever to speak of,
and we were very, very lucky.
So when I realized that I was no longer infected
but had the 'B', I was encouraged to give plasma.
I asked Tom where he went and he said, here.
He gave me the address.
I went to give plasma because it was so new.
I took my iPhone and was recording the whole thing
and the phlebotomists, sticking the needles in
and seeing the spinning dials of the centrifuge
and the whole thing.
And he said, "Would you mind posting this?
Because we've had a drop-off in donors."
And I thought, "Okay, well, there's a good reason
to just out myself and say, 'I had it, I'm fine.'
And if maybe you had it and you're fine now
to maybe you'll consider donating the plasma"
because it really does help them.
