Hello? Is anybody there? Are people listening? Are people watching? I hope so. Otherwise I'm just speaking into a void. There's apparently. Okay, apparently I have a hair sticking up and it might be sticking up for the. I got the one. Keep all of this in. Keep all this in. I want them to know. No, no, I'm keeping it in. We have to keep it and we have to be real. This is an authentic podcast. Sometimes hair sticking up. Guys, celebrity. It's not all it's cracked up to be. People slur their words. I haven't been drinking. It's just nerves. I'm not nervous. But I had a flyaway and there's four white people in the room and they. None of them felt comfortable coming to touch my hair to get the flyaway. Fair enough. My work here is done. But I do want to talk to you about something else. It is germaphobe season. I'VE declared it, so that means it's my season. I'm a germaphobe, as evidenced by one of these other rants I've gone on on the podcast about Reese shaking hands. But anyway, yeah, I'm a germaph. But why is everyone acting like germophobes are the weird ones? I think the germophiles are the weird ones. Guys, I have seen this happen. You're in the bathroom doing number one. Number two, number three, no one has to know you come out of the bathroom. A fellow citizen of the world comes out. They don't go to the sink to wash their hands. That's scandalous to me. I have been tempted to then follow them out of the bathroom, go to where they're going, be at another table at a restaurant, be at their workplace, and go. Do you know that Susan doesn't wash her hands? If Susan came out of the stall, Susan has to wash her hands. Even if she, like, moved the little lock. If you touch the lock, you gotta wash your hands. You have to. What's everyone. What are we not washing our hands for? I've had people say, I didn't get anything on it. And I mean, what do you mean by anything? Urine. I hope you did it. I hope you didn't get urine or poo on it. Your hands. But you should still wash your hands because bathrooms are dirty. Bathrooms are dirty. Society's dirty. Frankly, I'm a proponent of washing my hands. If you've ever seen me on a red carpet with a clutch, just know there's hand sanitizer and lotion in my clutch because I wash my hands when I go to the bathroom. And I do want a gold star for that. Sounded so proud. I wash my hands after using the bathroom every time, and I can't have dry hands. It also sends me. Maybe something is wrong with me. Anyway, germaphobes are not the weird ones. Germaphiles are. Guys, let's wash our hands when we come out of the bathroom. Just because one person's sick doesn't mean everyone's got to get sick. Is that crazy? No. They're saying no. And these people here are the people I listen to and trust. They tell me when there's flyaways on my head, they don't touch. They just tell, these are good people. These are very good people. And they say, I'm not crazy. I want to see people washing their hands. Send me videos of you washing your hands and singing Happy Birthday. Let the suds really build. I Was in a different country not too long ago last week. And none of the soap was foaming and it was stressing me out. And maybe some scientists will come and tell me that that's not necessary. And technically, I guess I am maybe a scientist because I have a biology degree. I don't know. But I thought the foam was necessary. But I'm also a foam addict, which is a different conversation for a different day. I want us washing our hands. I really want that for us. If you're a germophile, do it for me. Do it for the germaphobes of the world. Wash your hands after you use the bathroom. That's not too much to ask. Oh, and while we're on the topic, if you cough, cover your mouth. Why not? It's cute. It's chic. And not with your hand, with your elbow. The part when photographed closely looks like a vagina. Okay. Anyway, that's it for today. No, I'm actually going to be talking to someone. They're very fun. I love them. Chances are you love them. I know them. Chances are you know them. It's gonna be a good one. So keep watching and wash your hands. Maybe go wash your hands right now. And again, send me a video of you washing your hands. That's porn to me. Okay, stay tuned. Oh, my gosh. I'm back. I know I just told you we'd be talking to my guest, but I have to get this off my chest. When you go in the bathroom and the sign says employees must wash their hands, do we think those signs are effective? If the employee wasn't going to wash their hands before reading the sign, I have a feeling reading the sign doesn't make a difference. It maybe should say, employees must wash their hands, or they are. This offense is persecutable under the full extent of the law. I'm not a lawyer. I can't do legal speak. They shouldn't go to jail for it. But I'm just thinking, if you saw that sign and you weren't going to wash your hands and you were just going to walk out, do you then wash your hands because the sign told you to? You probably were so not intending to wash your hands that you walked past the sign anyway, didn't even take it in. The only people reading that sign are the people who are washing their hands. And make sure to get under your nails, too. See, in the little dirt under the nails. If we're not. Yeah, he's checking his nails right now. Everyone check your nails. The dirt under the nails. We got to get in there. The germs hide. They hide in there and you got to get them out. I was an allied health major in high school. Yes, my high school had majors. It was a magnet school. And one of the things we learned was how to properly wash our hands for surgery. None of us ever did surgery at all. Didn't come close. But I did learn how to wash my hands for surgery. And I think that it's. What we learned is far more intense than what surgeons may do. But anyway, you get under your nails, there's no reason for there to be. To get it out. I love you.
