Speaker A
I'm late for class. Maybe I'll be able to get out of this stupid job that I've always hated, and something better will happen. Anyways, I have the tiniest talk you can imagine, shrunk a little bit but not that much, like a rat. They call rats weedy species because they smoke weed. You're gay. Birds don't like being stared at. What did we discuss today? God, I'm going to have to beat a random stranger to cool down every goddamn day for the rest of your life.
Speaker A
Radioactivity is not dangerous. I like being naked in Chernobyl with the boys, and they say, "Get out of here, it can kill you." It's like, how the hell are you? First of all, that's not true. So cosmic rays come zipping through the atmosphere, and they nail your dick, and then all of a sudden you're dead? Really? Really? Like, no. So we won't leave, that's that. So rats, they identify each other by smell. The natural state of the rat is be afraid. So you put a rat in a cage, and it'll freeze, and then it slowly starts because they have to take a rabbit. Rats scream. They're frozen, and they scream. They're terrified. They're frozen into immobility. The rats know it. They're overwhelmed by anxiety. So when the rats do the bravest of rats, leaps out of his tunnel and runs right across a small area, and he runs back. So there's such a great, such a great story because you get an idea of how the rat's universe is set up. I'm around, by the way.
Speaker A
Okay, so you take a rat that everyone loves, and you pull it out of its cage, and you wash it off, and you throw it back in with the rats because that route is now, I don't have sex. Uh, the fact that I was a joke, you might not have liked it. I didn't say it was a good joke. My life's over. I just spent all my money on all this useless stuff. I'm like a rat that's just pushing the lever for cocaine, you know. Oh my God, I love rats. Quit having so much fun. So anyways, the fairy shows up, and she's quite sexually attractive. She's quite provocative. Please welcome George.
Speaker A
You're obviously okay. What's up with that? It's true. It's so true. And here's what the president said. He said, "F*** you, f*** you idiot." Barbara Bush was a racist, and she raised war criminals. That seems bad. I don't know if you saw this, but Barbara Bush died. We love to not think. [Music]
