"It is strange how normal it has been to work with Dan McQuade during the illness that he wrote about at Defector a few weeks ago. There are some times when he's not available or just not feeling his best, and occasionally he will mention in passing that he is "radioactive," but also he is still around and doing good blogs and getting upset about the Eagles and describing specific episodes of Baywatch Nights and Pacific Blue as the spirit moves him."
"Dan and Drew talked about how work and recovery can work together, and we all considered the ways in which we leverage what's wrong with us into the work we do. And then, after a discussion about the timelines and limits of recovery, Drew hit one of the boldest segues in the history of the podcast and we started talking about Carson Wentz."
Dan McQuade maintained normal work habits and continued blogging while managing neuroendocrine cancer, sometimes noting in passing that he was "radioactive" and occasionally unavailable. He addressed his illness and praised public-sector union health insurance, and delivered a strong endorsement of morphine. Topics covered how work and recovery can coexist and how people leverage personal ailments into their labor, plus timelines and limits of recovery. The conversation then shifted to quarterback Carson Wentz as a current starter for the Vikings, with analysis of Wentz's present capabilities, past strengths, and his tendency to complain to officials, and advocacy for Jalen Hurts to adopt similar tactics.
