Today's March 9th.
March 11th was the last time you and I recorded in person, first of all.
That's insane.
That was the water bottle episodes?
No, it was soap.
Soap with Daniel.
That was the last time I was in the HeadGum office, too.
Both of us, I think.
Yeah.
So that sucks.
We're rounding third. I remember the last time that we hung out together,
like non-distanced in person with a group.
It was such a fun night.
And we were like, oh my, it was around this time.
And we're like, oh my god, we should go bowling all together next week.
We were going to go bowling that weekend.
And then we all kind of one by one were like, maybe we shouldn't go.
But in a couple weeks. Let's rain check for a couple weeks
and then we'll yeah i even remember people going out that weekend and it was probably like you look
back at it now there was like what 10 cases in la like it would have been fine actually but like
i was like i was like you guys are going out like yeah i'm scared as shit yeah but yeah it's crazy
to look at the numbers from back then i watched a video of sanjay gupta talking on march 9th last year being like
hey so like it's a pandemic now and like the hosts were like sitting right next to each other
and they're what do you mean but uh but yeah i mean you and i are uh you know gonna get vaccinated
soon hopefully um either find an extra dose that would go to otherwise go to waste or or you know
wait our turn and your dad has gotten vaccinated my parents are getting vaccinated this weekend
it's it's really looking up i think i think by may we'll be in a different position i think that's
true how are you what have you been up to still yes yeah still just inhabiting the closet trying
on different velvet jackets i mean you only have the though. So you're kind of just like...
I got another.
No, you did not.
Oh, my God!
For what?
I don't know.
You never...
I didn't think I was going to need the first one,
but it's come in handy,
Phil or otherwise.
But we're not talking about the pandemic,
because I'm getting bummed out.
No, well, we were, but we're not.
No, we're talking about... We're going to shift gears in a really exciting way. We're not talking about the pandemic because i'm getting bummed out but we're not no we're gonna we're talking about like we're gonna shift gears in a really exciting way we're not talking about the pandemic
let's let's like let's get it started let's get it started in here um we're talking about something
that's like i can't even contain my excitement y'all this is like this going to blow your asses away. It's going to blow your asses.
It's going to blow your asses.
We're talking organic deodorant.
Deodorant!
Riley, have you ever used natural deodorant?
What's your experience?
I have. So I remember when I learned, it took me way too long to learn that you don't want to use
deodorant with aluminum in it.
And I remember just being like, what?
Really?
And like, and then it's like the way it clogs like near the lymph nodes and for women can
like cause early breast cancer.
Like I was,
I was floored.
And then it's like,
I was one of the last people like in my circle to start using like better
deodorant.
I was like,
I was like,
wait,
what,
what?
Like,
really?
You need to not use that anymore.
I'm like,
what do you mean?
I love this stuff. And so then I learned're like, really? You need to not use that anymore. I'm like, really? What do you mean? I love this stuff.
And so then I learned that like, it's just, you know, the deodorants without all of the really harsh things that will give you diseases.
Terminal illnesses.
Terminal illnesses in a way are just deodorants and not antiperspirants.
So when I started using it i was like why am i
fucking sweating i rubbed this stick on my arm for a long time and now i'm wet under my arms
yeah that took a little adjustment it took me a while of for to find the right one that i enjoyed
the smell of um so i use um so dove still dove has like a it's like called like zero percent something and
it has zero aluminum in it so it's like the most natural dove one i guess listen so i don't know
if this counts as like a natural deodorant that i should be using but hey it smells good for me
and it has zero aluminum so that's i feel like good um yeah it's i don't like to sweat but
i know it's the bot like the body needs to do it the body needs to get that out i'm just only being
sweaty what's the ideal response i want you to be like oh riley i totally get it like and i'm glad that
you found the mix that works for you because i do sweat with this but it doesn't smell that's
the thing that i was reading about this and it's actually got me thinking because i i still use
antiperspirant i use dove men's plus care um clean comfort i don't think it has aluminum in it i just
looked it up and it says that it has zero aluminum but it might not be an antiperspirant or they're
lying i think the body, I lied.
Not that I love to sweat, but the body does need to sweat.
It is the natural way to like.
Yeah.
And you can quote me on that.
I'm a medical professional.
That's the body's way of draining shit.
Have you ever used like a natural deodorant?
I haven't used a natural deodorant.
What I did do once was um malanin gets i tried their eucalyptus scented
deodorant and it was not an antiperspirant i think that was my first time not using antiperspirant
and yeah the sensation of sweating was it was a no-go i couldn't do it that day or year and also
shocked to learn how much i do sweat without an antiferspirit. Like, did I just take a walk?
And I'm like, oh, no.
You know how people, like, name their dogs Odie?
Like, my friend Tucker has a dog named Odie.
That is a name that Daniel and I want to name our dog.
What about Odor?
Odor.
Is their dog Odor?
Odie?
Odor.
Like, smell?
Yeah.
Oh, I know.
Okay, this is a review.
Both of mine are reviews from Toms of Maine,
long-lasting, aluminum-free, natural deodorant,
tea tree scented.
This one is from Zane B.
Barl.
Barl?
Barl.
Okay, this is a four-star review from Zane Barl. Barl? Barl. Okay, this is a four-star review from Zane Barl.
The title is,
Good, but caused my skin to peel.
I previously bought some of that crystal spray stuff that's all natural.
The bottles clogged, however, and didn't seem to work at all.
I finally gave up and just bought a normal deodorant, and this worked great.
However, I've never had deodorant cause my skin to peel and this did after three days i did not base my rating on this because
it doesn't seem to happen to everyone according to the reviews i do not have any history of
deodorants causing my skin to peel it's like well yeah this my skin's peeling but but it's four stars
because i guess it doesn't happen to everyone else so it must be good um but my yeah no my skin's peeling, but it's four stars because I guess it doesn't happen to everyone else, so it must be good.
But my skin's absolutely peeling off of my body.
But don't listen to me.
Everyone says it's great.
No, it's really good, though. It's just for me, there is skin on the floor from the deodorant.
It's like a music critic.
An album comes out.
Portugal, the man's new album, is a 10 out of 10 for me
every track made me hate it more and more the music didn't seem to be inspired and the lyrics
were cheesy in fact it seems like his biggest attempt at pop success and ironically it won't
break him through because these songs are garbage that being the
case art is subjective i'm not gonna say that it's not a 10 out of 10 because i don't want to
have people not listen to it um great steven thank you so much for this first draft we're
gonna put it in final draft final draft final draft yeah um it's good to go well yeah well uh
no i mean i'm the editor right so it's like i kind of decide if it's good to go
or not and i'm gonna tell you for a fact that this is not a final draft um so listen i hear you i
think your opinion is totally valid i think you made a type the biggest glaring mistake is you
made a typo and you wrote 10 out of 10 um for the album hard to make a typo with numbers right
i i couldn't agree more um so i
think just change it and then send it on back to me why would i change it no no 10 out of 10
because i don't want people to not be a patron of his music of his art who am i to say what makes
me qualified to talk about what people should listen to or not to give people advice well that's
our job that's what the magazine does right no you just had your editor you said your editor which means that you just kind of put the paper together
i'm the editor of this paper whose job it is to tell people what we should and shouldn't listen
to okay um when did pitchfork become the arbiter of taste when it came to music because when i
started here we were just kind of goofing off yeah you really started when it was like at the ground level you weren't even incorporated yet
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah right yeah yeah it was fun and now it's not as fun well now we're like
we're like a big business we actually have a lot of readers and we get paid a good amount of money
to really curate a sense of taste and style and listen this isn't you saying that it's like everyone should have the opinion you
have.
But be honest, if you don't think it was a good album, give it a low rating.
Is this because of the clothes that I'm wearing?
Because, yeah, I don't like them either.
But who am I not to wear them?
All right.
I'm just one man.
You don't like the clothes that you're wearing?
Loose fitting beige khakis, olive t-shirt that doesn't fit me very well. I'm not going to return them and make the company feel bad. Make them feel like I don't
think anybody should be buying their stuff. Steven, you have been on this team for so long
and it's not because of your writing. You are the nicest guy I've ever met in my life. And it's also
not necessarily a good thing. You are the nicest man
I have ever met. And you need to not be that way. I'm gonna write you a check for $1,000. No,
and you don't even have to publish the article. I just there's like, I want to clear the air here.
You're getting upset. And I don't want you to be upset. Here you go. Don't cash it till Monday.
I gotta move some money around. I'm not gonna No, don't do that for me it's just you are nice i'm here at pitchfork you know our you know our saying we're all a bunch of
little devils and you are being too much of an angel okay so just like just leave a three out
of ten and let's call it a day take a stand steven what if port Portugal the Man's album doesn't sell? That's blood on my hands.
You're an influential man.
Just sign...
Horns are growing out of my head.
Just sign it off.
Just say three out of ten and let's do it, huh?
I don't know.
Something doesn't feel right.
Black wings going out of my back.
Come on, dude.
Just three out of ten and we can do it again.
All right?
And by do it again, I mean you write another we can do it again all right and by do it again i mean you write
another article all right all right i'll i'll rewrite it right here in this little pen that
you have on your desk yeah here we go crossing it up it's like a deep red color oh it smells
like don't do that this is blood just keep. The ink in this is blood. Just keep writing.
Somehow grab your hand with force.
Burns.
Get away from me.
I knew I shouldn't have trusted you.
You are a bunch of devils.
That's not figurative.
I'm going to start my own, not even publication, journal.
Cut to Good Morning America.
Yeah, no, I just started putting really positive thoughts on a live journal, on a blog spot.
Wow.
And I don't know, it sort of single-handedly got rid of Satan.
And that's amazing.
And Stephen, thank you so much for stopping by today.
Look at the camera.
Everyone, the man who dismantled the Dark Lord himself.
Stephen Lee, everybody. Thank you don't clap don't clap because like
who am i to say that i'm good to have you literally defeated the biggest force of evil
known to the universe so uh let's give this guy a big round any of us could have done it though
no but you're the one who did come on i'm not modest everyone in the audience goes oh oh he's
so sweet isn't he's just the sweetest no you are the most special person in the world officially
yay he's so he's better than everyone and we should all listen to him i'm uncomfortable
it's your life he's special he's the best he wakes up he looks at the last draft of the thing
that he wrote portugal the man changes 10 out of 10 to 3 out of 10 it sends to his editor message comes
back looks great steven you're the best little devil we got was it no it was a dream falls back all right this is uh one star of naked tie nakd tie crystal deodorant stone
um it's a crystal deodorant i don't actually even fully know what that means i um i don't know what
that means yeah i think it's basically like it's it's a dry deodorant that you have to wet and then roll on.
But here we go.
This is from Allison.
Do you want to give her a last name?
Allison Bree.
This is from Allison Bree.
One star.
It didn't work for me at all.
Also, who has the time to rub 30 times under each arm?
I wish it worked, but it did nothing for me.
And it's also time consuming to put on. The directions specifically say, rub 25 to 30 times under each arm,
which takes forever.
Hey, Brett, I'll be waiting in the car.
We have reservation at eight at the Italian place in the corner.
You almost ready?
All right.
Yeah, I'll be right there.
I just have to put on some deodorant.
All right, because it's 7.50 and you know how strict they are about ready? All right. Yeah, I'll be right there. I just have to put on some deodorant. All right.
Because it's 7.50,
and you know how strict they are about getting a table.
I know, I know.
I'll be right there.
It's just deodorant.
How long could it take?
Exactly.
It shouldn't.
All right.
I'll be in the car.
Cut to Bridget's funeral.
Yeah.
I didn't get to say goodbye.
We had a reservation at jar and um she said it's for
apm she said be out in the car as soon as possible because we need to make this reservation i was
like i just need to put deodorant on and uh i did and it took 30 years.
She's gone.
And we didn't even get to have one last date.
So I guess the moral of the story is be careful what deodorant you use.
The crowd kind of chuckles.
No, but I'm in mourning.
At the reception, your kid comes up.
Hey, Dad.
God, you got so big.
Yeah.
God, I didn't think you'd recognize me.
It's crazy to, I guess, meet you.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
I'm sorry that I even tried to use natural deodorant.
It's just the aluminums, you know?
I didn't want, and it's kind of ironic, right? Because I didn't want the aluminums to block my pores and then lead to a disease that might have me die earlier so I could be in your life.
So that I could be a part of your life and you wouldn't have to deal with the pain of losing a loved one.
But instead, I was absent for like 20 years.
Little girl comes up to my leg.
Daddy, daddy. Oh, comes up to my leg. Daddy, dad.
Oh, come on.
All right.
Well, Lily, this is your grandpa.
I'm really sorry.
I'm just really sorry it had to happen like this.
I wanted to do it in a more sensitive way, but here she is.
Hey there, kiddo.
What kind of, yeah, what kind of, do you spray on or?
Come on.
No, Lily, go, go. Wait, just get some wait just don't get some just make sure she use it just let her use the aluminum ones all right like no harm no
foul compared to this it's my mom's funeral and i i didn't want to get like this but you have no
place to tell anyone what kind of fucking deodorant they should use i'm so sorry for my language but
this is un-fucking-believable coming from you are you kidding never been here a day in my goddamn life now you're telling my
daughter what deodorant she should use on a day like today you don't understand my side of it
i was dressed up to go to a dinner i lifted one arm 25 times it seemed up and down i look up
there's a new president in office my wife is gone i didn't
sleep for 30 years i didn't eat for 30 years i'm a stick at this point because of the deodorant
so you only got one arm done i smell like shit on this side and i'm scared to even try to use
deodorant now so excuse me if i try to tell the next generation not to make the same mistakes
that i did and i'm sorry that I missed every milestone in your life.
But guess what?
I was putting natural deodorant on.
Can I tell you a secret, dad?
Come here, a little closer.
Yeah.
You smell like shit.
I deserve that.
I deserve that, but I'm not going to stop trying to be your dad.
There's no point.
You've missed too much. There is is a point do you have a wife i'd love to meet her of course i do i i don't know i mean
it's like i don't want her to get too attached to the idea of a father-in-law only to have you
go try and put deodorant on your other arm and and be gone i won't use the same product i promise tina come here this is oh my god is this
your dad yeah this this is him um i'm i'm so sorry for your loss sir no it's i appreciate that i'm
sorry that this is that we have to meet under these circumstances i'm yeah i'm great did you

Oh, well, that's,
I've always said that she,
she looks so much like her grandfather.
I'm so sorry, son.
I feel self-conscious
because you told me that I smell like shit
and I'm meeting your wife for the first time.
And I just feel like,
if I could just excuse me for just one moment.
No, don't you dare.
It's a different product.
I swear to God, it's a different product.
It's a different product.
Honey, let him go.
God, he just, he wants to smell knife
you don't know what this is like
he goes to the corner
like in his mind he's going like up and down
at a normal pace but it's literally like
scientifically fascinatingly
slow
he finishes
it is a barren wasteland
yeah the big one hit Southern California.
He was on the fault line.
You should have just smelled like shit.
60 years gone because you wanted to smell like, yeah, eucalyptus.
He bursts into tears why me why me
i was trying to use natural deodorant i only wanted natural ingredients there's a pile of aluminum trash next to him you did this to me he dies of dehydration
the aluminum somehow smiles
you just see this mound of trash kind of curl
like used cans just kind of flip down a little bit. Should we do your last review?
Here we go.
This is again for the Toms of Maine.
It is a four-star review from Narf.
K-N-A-R-F.
Last name for Narf.
Narf Biden.
Narf Biden.
He's the sort of disgraced Biden son.
Narf Biden, four stars.
Say no to BO.
It's deodorant without aluminum.
Worth a try.
Did your school ever do the PSAs in middle school where they're like,
all right, guys, you guys are getting old.
You're going through puberty.
You got to put deodorant on.
You're starting to smell bad.
Did they ever do that?
I don't remember that.
Because in fifth grade, my music teacher gave an announcement
at a morning assembly.
And he basically was like, all right, guys, this is deodorant.
You really got to start using it.
And then he demonstrated.
And we were all like, oh, OK.
I didn't know i smelled like that
bad but i just like it's like a principal who's really nervous
all right guys um i know i don't usually come to these i usually the vice president
usually the vice principal god yeah usually the vice principal makes the
announcements but this is very important in a young person's development um say no to bo
um bo is stands for body don't interrupt don't interrupt nelson um manners remember
sticky yeah your hands specifically are sticky.
Now, it's not everyone, looks at Nelson,
but there are a few offenders here that do have body odor
that is making it hard for the teachers and the student body.
So here we go.
This is antiperspirant deodorant, all right?
No aluminum, no unnatural products, but it will help you smell better.
And guess what?
If you guys want to date, you know, middle school is coming up.
You got to smell good.
All right.
Are you giving these out or do we have to ask our parents to buy it?
Let's do all questions at the end, Nelson.
Here we go.
You take it.
You uncap it.
You just roll a little bit on this arm.
Roll a little bit on that arm.
Bada bing, bada boom.
It takes five seconds. And you smell great for the it takes five seconds and you did that over your shirt all the kids start laughing nelson come on i'm like nervous now we see the sweat yeah that's a good idea
that's actually a good that's actually a good idea let me put some on under the shirt here we
got that's gonna take care of the sweating we see your nipples no you don't nelson i'm wearing an
undershirt because the last time you mentioned my nipples in the hallway made me go out and buy a six pack of Hanes.
They look like pizzas.
Everybody laughs.
Pepperoni.
Pepperoni.
My nipples aren't sausage.
Just, Nelson, would you be polite, quiet?
I'm nervous. The best part is if you do sweat like me or anybody, it helps with the sweat.
Nelson, why are you always sick?
Sorry, but like you bully me.
I'm 40 years your senior and you always have a cold.
My hands are sticky, I said.
The vice principal like stands up from her chair.
Hey, Peter, I don't think that you should be like yelling at Nelson in front of of the whole student but no i'm not yelling i'm not yelling at him i'm just like
he keeps getting under my skin the entire point of you doing these morning announcements is that
i don't get bullied in front of everybody right because otherwise nelson will rip me a new one
every fucking morning every morning the whole student body oh no i didn't say the word you
think i said i should get up there. I should do the announcements. Ah!
Nelson! Nelson!
He just hawked a loogie into your water bottle, William.
R. How are you not mad about that?
Trotting up the stairs. Nelson!
Nelson! He has light up sneakers.
Nelson! Alright, I can take
this over, principal.
The entire student body cracks up.
Whatever, man. Whatever. Yeah, just
make whatever announcement. So, hi, guys.
It's me, Nelson.
Thanks.
As we all just heard, our
principal thinks that we all
stink. Boo!
It's not all of you.
It's mostly Nelson.
No, he said everyone.
And you know what I think?
What?
I think he is the stink.
Come on.
I mean, I'm not the stink.
He's the stink.
Stink.
He's the stink.
How are you able to control him this easily?
He's the stink.
You're not even a good...
You don't do any extracurriculars.
I've never seen you with a friend.
It's because my hands are sticky.
Your hands are sticky.
You have a cold all the time.
This is your god.
This is your man.
They all rush the stage.
Carry him.
He's the stink.
Where are you taking me?
Where are you taking me? Where are you taking me?
Take him out back
They take him to a flagpole
They pull his undershirt down a little bit
From his thing
And then attach it to the flagpole
And hoist him up
Wave him high boys
My nipples are showing
Pepperoni
Elsa
Everyone put your hands over your hearts i pledge allegiance
to the stinky sausage of the united states of this school how do you guys all know it by heart and chanting it in unison. And to the Tallahassee of which it stinks,
one sausage on the cheese,
stinky winky with liberty and justice.
The vice principal for all.
Catherine, what is this?
I think there's a new principal in town.
What?
Leave him on the flagpole, Nelson.
Aye, aye, Cap'n.
I've got an office to decorate.
The students cheer.
They pick her up and bring her into the office.
They all go inside.
It's left with just Nelson and the principal.
Looks like
it's just
you and me. Go to the hospital.
Go to the hospital. You need
an antibiotic. I shouldn't care about you,
but you're gonna die. Oh, so
now you care about little old
Nelson. I've cared about you before.
You just get under my fucking skin.
Just like, you need to use deodorant.
That's for your sake too.
But instead, I'm hoisted on a flagpole.
My nipples showing through a sheer tank top because of you.
It's because you're a stinky sausage.
You smell like sausage.
My nipples are normal.
Is this why Sally doesn't want to kiss me?
Yes.
I asked her in a weird way.
Then she said, that's the only reason?
She said,
I don't want to be near Nelson because I'm worried
I'm going to get some kind of incurable disease.
Because it hasn't left
his body in the better part of a grade.
But she said about the
smell, mostly.
She said the smell, she said the sickness, she said
the sticky hands.
Throw the deodorant down, I'll catch it.
Alright, he shimmies to his
back pocket, drops it.
Cheers. Runs back
into the building.
Wait, that's enough!
A gust of wind
and you just kind of start lightly
blowing. Oh, god.
Blowing in the breeze.
Oh, God, honey.
Honey, what happened?
Yeah, I got hoisted.
I got hoisted for talking about deodorant.
It's so beautiful.
You blowing in the breeze like that.
What do you mean?
Oh, God.
Well, it just makes me want to cry.
It's so...
I start...
Get me down.
I pledge allegiance to the stinky slug scent. No fucking way. It makes me wanna cry, it's so... I start to- Get me down.
I pledge allegiance to the stinky sloth.
No fucking way.
This shook me all week long.
I got a rug.
Oh yes, wait, which one did you get?
Jeff sent me a couple photos. Here, I'll send you a jeff sent me a couple photos um various rugs he
was contemplating yeah so i got uh so i'm in my parents house still and i never lived here they
moved here like right before i went to college so i live i was here for like three weeks before i
left um and so my room has always just been this like kind of empty box with like furniture to just kind of fill the space.
But now that I've been here so long, I have been decorating a little bit.
So I got some art off Etsy and I got this rug, which Riley helped me pick out.
I'm texting it to you right now.
And it's warmed the space up.
That rug really tied the fucking room together, man.
Oh, my God.
It's beautiful.
Yeah.
So shout out Etsy.
Shout out Camille Rugs, I think is what it's called.
And yeah.
Oh, my God.
It is so gorgeous.
It's awesome. It's red. It's kind of like geometric and oriental i love it i really love it oh that's stunning good for you what about you what's been shaking you
there are at least two stray neighborhood cats that live on our block and one is black with kind of like a brownish face and the other one is kind
of striped brown gray black with big green eyes and i don't like cats um but i do like earning the trust of animals and so now here's where the problem is it's like oh my god
so
they will often kind of like lounge in our front or backyard um but you know usually it's like if
they see us like through the window their eyes will get big and then they'll dart and they'll
run away yeah so a couple weeks ago elizabeth and i started leaving out little saucers of water um just because we're like i hope they're
getting water we didn't want to give them food because we don't want to be the place they rely
on to like be fed and they don't look super skinny it's like so they're clearly getting food from
somewhere um so we've started leaving out water on our front steps like right by our front door
and it took it took a long time they
didn't drink out of it for a long we have one we have a little thing of water in the front and a
little thing of water in our backyard because they can also get into our backyard um and they
it took them a long time but now the striped one we don't see the black one as much but the striped one comes by now every day and drinks water and now when it sees us it's
like if i'm sitting in our kind of front room with the window looking out into the front yard
yeah um it will now see me and won't run away it'll just kind of stare at me for a while like
unsure like still a little unsure but if it walks off it's walking off because it has like better
things to do and not because it's like super scared that I'm looking at it.
That is like that is really nice.
And the past two nights when we're locking up the house for the night, we looked at our front door and that brown stripe one sleeps on our front mat.
Like curls up asleep on our front mat every night.
That's so cute and then in the morning they'll like if if we're
up early enough like before it gets up if we look at it it'll like look up at us but that's like big
dilated peoples and then run under daniel's car because it gets really scared um so we were like
like because elizabeth and i elizabeth hates cats i really don't like cats i think daniel like
prefers dogs but is kind of indifferent but basically a household of people who do not enjoy cats.
Um,
and so we're like,
I guess we have a pet now,
I guess like you're bummed about it.
Well,
because it's like,
listen,
we're not going to feed them.
Yeah.
We're not going to touch them.
Like they're,
they're out the clearly outdoor little guys.
Um,
and they're like, they're, they're not're out the clearly outdoor little guys um and they're like they're they're not starving like they don't look pretty healthy um but now we do feel this weird
sense of responsibility of like gotta refill the water outside i have a meeting in five minutes but
i gotta give them water uh exactly exactly um and so which is just really frustrating and daniel was like joking he's like
what if we go what if now we have a cat instead of a dog i'm like don't even fucking say that
um so that's what's been shaking me is that i guess now we're responsible for these cats
which i never thought i would say because i think cats are awful i love cats especially since the dog bite because like my sister's cat is unbelievable
she's hilarious she's talkative i don't think so she's cuddly she acts like a dog she's amazing
okay that and that's the thing every time someone is like no my cat's great my cat acts like a dog
that's what and like if you have to qualify and say like my cat is like a dog i don't know
though there's definitely dogs that suck like i think it's kind of like the thing of like like
capitalists will never admit that there's evils of capitalism but they'll be the first to be like
socialism will always go wrong it's like no like they both can be evil if they're taken to the
extreme dogs can suck dogs can be great cats can suck can be great. I think cats get a bad rap. I think dogs get overhyped. I understand that. I'm just such a dog person. I've there's only been like two cats
in my life I've ever enjoyed. But even then, I've never fully trusted a cat. And I think they can
pick up on my fear of them. Well, I think people also misread the the the body language of cats.
Like when cats squint at you that's them saying
that they love you because it means that they feel comfortable enough with you to fall asleep
near you so if a cat's going like this that means they're like basically they're literally saying i
love you and so like when you know that it's like cats can give you the same feelings that dogs give
you and um but it does take more time i think like
dogs some dogs just are trusting immediately and cats i think are usually like just more afraid
but there's nothing better than a cat purring on your chest i've also never been bitten in the face
by a cat so i'm biased jeffrey do you have anything to plug um i have uh i have nothing
to plug i got kirkwood goods um
our watch the watches are i always say are because it's like a small business but like it's just me
