Hold that.

Welcome to the show. Still coming to you from this blank void.

We were off last week, but interestingly, it seems the void wasn't,

because Mortal Kombat was released last weekend, and apparently, this happens.

Where are we?

We are in the void.

It is the realm between your world and mine.

What the fuck?

The void is taking other jobs now?

Although, you know what? It has clearly been the breakout character of this show

over the last year, so I shouldn't really be surprised it's doing cameos

elsewhere on HBO Max.

It is so white and depressing, I genuinely confused it for Mayor of

Easttown. Look, it's been another crazy week, from Biden making his first

address to Congress, to the news that Boris Johnson's phone number has somehow

been available online for the past 15 years, to Rudy Giuliani's home being

raided by the FBI, an event... I'm honestly surprised he didn't

accidentally stream live on Twitch by sitting on his phone.

But we are actually gonna dive straight in with our main story tonight, which

concerns the COVID vaccines.

The end result of the world's greatest scientists working around the clock to

save countless lives, immortalized in a card we'll all definitely lose in a

month. Vitally important, but also too big to fit in any standard wallet?

Way to fumble at the one yard line, science.

And look, not that we needed it.

but this week saw yet another reminder of just how dangerous COVID is, with

cases in India in particular surging at a truly terrifying rate.

India set a world record for daily COVID cases of over 400,000, and that is

probably an undercount.

And obviously, the world should be doing everything it can to help India right

now, but our best way out of this mess long term is clearly vaccines.

And it's worth remembering, we in the U.S. are incredibly fortunate.

We currently have access to a lot of vaccines, and more than half of U.S.

adults have now gotten at least one dose, which is great. The bad news is,

some vaccination locations have already gone from having not enough supply to

not enough demand.

According to the CDC, the daily average for vaccinations has dropped 20% since

the start of the month, a worrying trend.

Vaccine demand declining in South Carolina. Some providers left with extra

doses and appointments are wide open.

Palm Beach County Healthcare District says it is now facing 10,000

appointments for the county's vaccine sites remain unfilled since they opened

this week. Appointments are going unfilled. We've got thousands of

appointments available over the next few weeks and no takers at this point. It's

true. A worrying amount of people are holding off on getting the free COVID

vaccine. And I'm not saying that you should immediately get something just

because it's free. I wouldn't recommend getting these old dolls on Craigslist

just because they're free, they're weird, broken, and they will kill you in

your sleep.

But these vaccines could save not just your life, but the lives of people

around you. And it's genuinely dispiriting that just a few months into

the vaccine rollout, we are already at this point. And the problem is, for the

coronavirus, the herd immunity... The CDC threshold is thought to be between

70 and 90% of the population.

But a survey found that while 60% of American adults have got or want to get

the vaccine, another 18% say maybe, and 22% say no. And if you're thinking,

well, hold on, if every maybe gets the vaccine, that still puts us at 78%.

Unfortunately... that poll doesn't take into account children who we're not

vaccinating right now and who make up around 22% of the population.

So we need to get the vaccine into as many adults as possible as soon as

possible. And that means you really need to get vaccinated.

And obviously, I mean the collective you, but also you, Mike.

Mike in Baltimore.

I know you've got this on in the background at work on Monday, so listen

to me.

Schedule your vaccine, Mike. Don't say you're gonna look into it later. Just

Google, Vaccine Finder Baltimore.

It takes seconds.

Here are a list of vaccine sites in your area. And if you're thinking, yeah, I'm

not sure I need it, Joe Rogan says I'm probably fine.

Look, it is true.

You might not get seriously sick from COVID, or indeed, sick at all.

but you could still inadvertently pass it to someone who could then die. And

before you say, well, vulnerable people should just get vaccinated then, the

vaccines are only 95% effective, Mike, so they'll probably be okay, but maybe

not. Also, the more the virus circulates, the likely we'll see

mutations that make it more dangerous, possibly helping it to evade the vaccine

completely, putting us all the way back to square one, so get the fucking

vaccine, Mike!

The point is...

There is a problematic amount of vaccine hesitancy right now, even among people

who you would really like to think would not need convincing.

We met Robert Gannon before he went in to visit his 77-year-old mother, Kia,

who is on a ventilator right now in the ICU due to COVID.

Had she been vaccinated?

She was not vaccinated.

I think she was being hesitant, just wanting to see how things played out.

Have you been vaccinated?

I have not.

What would it take for you to get vaccinated?

Mm... I'd want to make sure that it's safe. Wow.

There is perhaps no clearer sign of just how deep vaccine hesitancy runs than

someone in that guy's position still questioning whether to get it instead of

asking, is there such a thing as too much vaccine? Because if not, I'm gonna

keep going back for injections until I'm around 80% Pfizer.

So given all of that, tonight, let's talk about the COVID vaccines.

Why people are hesitant, what their worries are, and how they might be

reassured. And let's start with the fact you can't characterize any one group as

uniformly vaccine-hesitant. No demographic is a monolith. Every group

will have some who are excited and others who are anxious. And different

groups will be anxious for different reasons.

For instance, early on, you probably heard a lot about hesitancy among some

Black Americans, which can be a real thing. Even this pediatrician had

reservations. When the vaccine was first made available to both of you, did you

both jump at the chance to get it?

Hmm.

No. No.

I mean, not me anyway.

I am black first in this country, and that has with it a lot of baggage, to

tell you the truth. And so my public health degree, the culminating

experience that I did was related to the relationship between...

black people and physicians.

And that relationship has been a cantankerous one. And so those are the

kinds of things that are deeply embedded and challenging to overcome, even within

someone who's a scientist.

Honestly, I do understand that.

We've talked before on this show about the fraught relationship black Americans

have with healthcare based on both current bad experiences and the history

of incidents like the Tuskegee experiment where doctors lied to black

men, allowing them to suffer from untreated syphilis over decades, or as

most U.S. history students would describe it, something I have not heard

of. Although it does feel important to mention that that doctor did wind up

getting the vaccine, and in general, black vaccine hesitancy has dropped

fast. Another group you might have heard have high hesitancy rates are

Republicans, and that is also true. Around 30% of Republicans say they won't

get it, and it's not hard to see why.

Because fears and doubts about the vaccine have flown around conservative

media, with one of the most prominent super-spreaders being this fucking guy.

What about this vaccine?

Why are Americans being discouraged from asking simple, straightforward questions

about it?

Questions like, how effective are these drugs?

Are they safe? Do you need a reason to turn on the vaccine?

And what happens if you do turn it down?

Will you be allowed to fly on airplanes?

Or go to work? Or enter the front doors of Madison Square Garden?

Oh. Now they're telling us the vaccine has a delayed response.

Okay. Delayed by how long? They don't say.

If vaccines work...

Why are vaccinated people still banned from living normal lives? Honestly,

what's the answer to that? So maybe it doesn't work, and they're simply not

telling you that.

Well, you hate to think that, especially if you've gotten two shots.

But what's the other potential explanation?

Okay. It is genuinely weird to see someone hosting a show on a supposed

news network and ending every sentence with a question mark, especially when

answers to most of those questions are out there for anyone who cares to know.

So, for instance, that last complaint that the CDC still recommends wearing

masks indoors when around vulnerable, unvaccinated people does not mean the

vaccine doesn't work.

Clinical trials found that the vaccines are spectacularly successful at

preventing people from getting serious disease.

As for whether they protect you from spreading the virus, the trials weren't

designed to assess that, but evidence so far indicates that they drastically

reduce transmission.

The reason... we still see mask and distancing recommendations is that the

CDC is being cautious and wants to be sure that it is not spreading bullshit

around during a global pandemic like a frozen dinner duke with a TV show.

Anyway, I hope that answers at least one of your gape-mouthed bad faith

wonderings, Tucker, you scrunch-faced fear baboon.

And the problem is, when people like Tucker... to raise questions without

bothering to answer them, there is a lot of misinformation out there for people

to then stumble on. Anti-vaccine groups have been waiting for a moment like this

to spread doubt, and the scary thing is, they don't actually need to convince

people they're right.

They just need to convince people that no one is.

And that tracks with recent polling.

While few believe specific myths about the vaccine, larger numbers say that

they didn't know whether particular myths were true or false. For instance,

only 4% of people believe the COVID vaccine is more deadly than the disease,

but 25%...

say they don't know. And that is not good.

Because if anti-vaxxers can simply spread enough misinformation to cause

people to throw up their hands and say, I just don't know enough to get the

shot, they have already seriously fucked things up for all of us. And to be

clear... Most people who are hesitant are not fanatics or conspiracy

theorists. Many are just trying to make the best decision for themselves and

their family, like that pediatrician that we saw earlier.

You definitely know people like that in your life.

So, I'm actually gonna spend the rest of this piece trying to clear up some of

the biggest myths flying around. And some are pretty easy to debunk quickly,

like the claims that Bill Gates is using the vaccine to put a microchip in all of

us. Something his wife had this response to.

I know my husband is not vaccinating people and putting a microchip in her

arm because that technology doesn't even exist and he's never uttered the words

out of his mouth.

Okay. That wasn't the reassuring pushback to a batshit conspiracy theory

that I had hoped for, to be honest.

We're not microchipping people because the technology doesn't exist... yet.

And my husband hasn't said it out loud to me. Why would you put it like that?

There are lots of things a husband won't say out loud to his wife. Not dark

things, just things.

Quiet thoughts a partner might not be ready to hear. Like how sometimes, late

at night, I think...

Wouldn't it be nice to live in an egg?

An egg to be in. Not just an oval-shaped sleeping pod. I can get an oval-shaped

sleeping pod. Nobody wants one of those. I mean an egg.

A big egg with me in it. Or maybe a normal egg and I'm small. It doesn't

matter. What matters is I'm in an egg.

Not alone.

I'm with the gloop, too.

It's just me and the gloop. No opening, no windows, no way to ever know if it's

morning or night. So do you know what time it is all the time?

Egg time.

Just egg time for me and the gloop.

Sometimes it's warm, and that's when I feel safest.

Sometimes I can tell I'm being carried or moved about, and it's jarring enough

that I'm nervous, but not so rough that I'm panicking. And you can shake me, but

do make sure not to do it hard, because remember, I'm fragile.

I am egg.

The point is, you can't say any of that to Melinda Gates. She'd never understand

what wife could.

Anyway, for the record... there are no microchips in the COVID vaccine.

That rumor is based on the fact that the Gates Foundation funded research years

ago, which is frequently taken out of context.

In that study, researchers looked into creating an invisible ink that could

potentially be injected along with a vaccine in order for populations like

refugee kids to be able to retain vaccine records without paperwork.

Over time, the original context was lost, contorted, and kind of telephoned

its way into becoming something-something Bill Gates

microchips on Facebook, a claim which, if you think about it for just a second,

doesn't make sense.

Because if your main concern is that Bill Gates could use microchips to track

you, he can already do that.

That's what your fucking phone is.

Now, another more reasonable sounding concern has to do with just how fast the

vaccine came together.

Um, I felt like it was too rushed. I think the whole thing has been rushed

through too fast. It kind of came really fast, like the vaccine.

They made up one really fast.

It was done way too quick.

I just, I don't feel comfortable with taking it.

Not anytime soon.

I think that they're using the public as guinea pigs.

Right. And that doesn't sound good.

Nobody wants to be a guinea pig, although I don't really know why. Being

a guinea pig seems great. You can eat a pepper while wearing the stem as a

little hat, run around a tiny city made of cardboard, and best of all, you get

to use the guinea pig bridge.

Yeah, being a guinea pig has its upsides, that's all I'm saying. The

infrastructure alone is incredible.

But that is clearly not the concern that those people have. Their worry is that

we are being used as guinea pigs for a rushed, untested vaccine.

It is an understandable thing to worry about, even if some express it in less

than ideal ways.

Tell me why you're concerned.

Six words.

Testing, testing, testing, testing, and more testing.

It's important if you're gonna put something into your body that it's

absolutely and totally tested.

I'll tell you what I admire about that guy.

his confidence, because I don't think I've seen anyone more self-assured than

the man who just promised six words, said seven, and counted five, all

without even flinching. That guy is so secure in his thinking, he could be

wrong about numbers on camera twice, and do it with an unbreaking smile.

But it is worth understanding exactly how the vaccine was able to come to

market so fast, because researchers had been working on vaccines against other

coronaviruses for years.

When COVID-19 hit, they had a significant head start.

Operation Warp Speed, as it was famously called, wasn't about rushing the

science. It was about significantly cutting through bureaucracy that could

have otherwise slowed it down. As this vaccine researcher explains.

Did you ever imagine that we'd be able to develop a vaccine in 12 to 18 months?

The short answer is no. We were able to compress the timeline so that... Things

that we would normally do in a linear fashion, A to B, we actually start the F

and the E at the same time as A and B.

Exactly. they took steps that usually happen sequentially and save time by

running them simultaneously.

And to be honest, I am envious of that level of efficiency.

I would save so much time every morning if I could shit, shower, shave, eat

breakfast, kiss my family, and brush my teeth all at the same time.

Unfortunately, I've only ever managed to do three of them at once, but I'm so

close to that fourth one.

Now, another concern that you may have heard or seen online is that the Pfizer

and Moderna vaccines are the first authorized to use messenger RNA.

which is true, but that has given rise to speculation about what mRNA is

capable of doing.

Basically, anyone taking these vaccines, they're all designed to do the same

thing, is going to have neurological disorders within one year.

Most of the people taking the vaccine will be dead within 10. Let me tell you

something. You take the mRNA, it creates plaque in your brain, it gives you

Alzheimer's, and I got the studies, too.

So, hey, you think they just put fluoride in the water to dumb you down?

Whoo! Man.

Alex Jones is having a blast, isn't he? No one else has as much fun while making

the world a worse place to live in. It's like he invented a jet pack that sprays

everyone beneath him with human shit.

But the thing is, there is absolutely no evidence or credible studies supporting

any of what he just said.

As for the claim that mRNA vaccines modify your DNA, it is very important to

know that the vaccine's mRNA does not enter our genome.

It does its work... far from the cell's nucleus, which is where your DNA is.

But the fear of what the vaccine contains or what it could do to you

seems to be common.

Some evangelicals are concerned that it contains cells from aborted fetuses,

which it does not.

Others worry that it could change the body's inner workings. You might have

had a friend tell you that they are worried that the vaccines cause

infertility. Those rumors were fueled by a blog post which falsely claimed that

Pfizer's vaccine contained ingredients capable of training the female body to

attack a protein that plays a crucial role in the development of the placenta.

But a few things there. First, experts say of that claim, it's a myth, it's

inaccurate, there is no evidence to support it, and there is already pretty

good proof that Pfizer's vaccine doesn't cause infertility because during the

trials last year... multiple women became pregnant, and the only one who

suffered a pregnancy loss was given the placebo.

So it is just not true.

And look, the final myth you may have heard is that the risks from the vaccine

are somehow greater than the risks of COVID.

That is a perception fed by the constant circulation of misleading headlines

about people falling ill or dying after getting their shot. For instance...

You may have seen this story that was widely shared about 23 people in Norway

dying within a week of getting the shot, which does sound scary, but that

headline is missing some pretty major context.

While those people did die, at that point in Norway, the vaccine was being

administered to the oldest or sickest people, and a certain percentage of them

were statistically going to die that week, vaccine or no vaccine. On

average... 400 people die every week in nursing homes in Norway.

And when the World Health Organization reviewed those incidents, they didn't

find any unexpected or untoward increase in fatalities, which does make sense.

Correlation isn't causation.

The vaccine protects against COVID, not the concept of mortality.

It is weird that I have to clarify this, but you are, in fact, going to die one

day, Mike.

Yeah, Mike.

Stop listening to what Joe Rogan tells you. He's a fucking moron, and those are

his words, not mine.

That also goes for stories that you might see hyping up scary-sounding data

from VAERS, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. It's a database that

collects stories of medical events following vaccinations.

But any layperson has to treat data coming out of it with extreme caution.

because reports can be entered by anyone and are not routinely verified.

One doctor once claimed that the flu vaccine turned him into the Hulk, and

that report was accepted and entered into the database, which is completely

absurd. A drug cannot turn you into the Hulk.

Although, admittedly, it can turn you into Captain America, the only superhero

whose origin story is a metric ton of experimental Nazi steroids.

And look... If we're just gonna share random, unverified side effects, I might

as well show you this truly shocking video about what might happen to your

mom. So, my mom got the vaccine because she's a healthcare worker, and she told

me she's experiencing some side effects.

Mom, what's that side effect you said you're experiencing?

Being a boss-ass bitch.

Very good.

And look, I'm not saying VAERS is useless. It very much isn't.

The reason the CDC collects this data is so if a pattern does emerge, actions can

be taken. That is exactly what happened with the Johnson & Johnson shot.

The CDC found a potential pattern of rare blood clots and paused the rollout

under an abundance of caution. And while some vaccine skeptics pointed to that as

evidence that they were right about vaccines being dangerous, in reality, it

kind of proves the opposite.

that the safety risk of vaccines is rigorously and publicly analyzed, not

secretly buried and somehow leaked to the human football's neon scream hour.

And none of this is to say that there are no side effects to the vaccines.

There can be. It is just that serious ones like anaphylaxis are incredibly

rare. 4.7 cases per million for Pfizer, 2.5 cases per million for Moderna. And

you should know, those also occur mostly in individuals with a history of severe

allergies. The fact is, the vast majority of people can expect, at most,

typical cold or flu symptoms in the first few days after their shot, or

maybe just a sore arm, or maybe nothing at all.

For what it's worth, I actually got my second shot this Thursday. My arm hurt a

little bit for a day.

But that's basically it.

I will admit, the following afternoon, for a couple of hours, I did feel a

little bit like a boss-ass bitch, but that passed quickly.

And anyway, the key thing to remember is that no side effect of the vaccine is

worse than the alternative, COVID.

A disease that has killed over 500,000 people in the U.S. alone, while once

again, to date, the vaccine has been proven to kill exactly zero.

So... It is more than natural to have questions, but there are reassuring

answers out there. And anyone just throwing out questions without

acknowledging that probably has another agenda entirely.

But the problem is, to get anywhere close to herd immunity, we badly need to

convince anyone who can be convinced.

So the question is, how do we do that?

while some Republican lawmakers, to their credit, have tried to reassure

their voters, although occasionally, those attempts have looked like this.

Live free and beauty surrounds you. The world still astounds you

each time you look at a star.

I'm Senator John Kennedy.

I can't sing very well, but I'm free.

Be free. Be cool.

Get the vaccine.

I did.

It works.

Okay. I don't love that.

And not just because it is the worst thing to come out of a Kennedy's mouth

since the back of a Kennedy's head, but also because the truth is, that probably

didn't convince anyone.

In researching this piece, experts repeatedly told us that the vaccine

hesitant generally don't respond well to hearing from politicians, celebrities,

or athletes telling them to get the vaccine. And I get that.

I would love to think that I could end this piece having carefully laid out

some data with a triumphant call for people to get vaccinated, featuring a

mascot of some incongruous animal-like, I don't know, a vaccine cicada.

You don't think that that's something that I would be interested in doing?

The truth is, we actually did that. We had a vaccine cicada costume made.

But after being advised that this technique would not be remotely

effective in convincing people who were hesitant, we scrapped the idea

completely. We emailed our mascot guy and we told him not to come in because

it was an absolutely stupid idea.

A vaccine cicada? Can you imagine how dumb that would look?

It probably wouldn't even look like a cicada, more like some kind of unhinged

cockroach. It was a terrible concept that could have fundamentally undermined

the very important message that we were trying to send, and I am so, so glad

that we avoided making that mistake.

Because the truth is, I'm not going to be able to convince the people in your

life who are hesitant.

The person with the best chance of doing that is you.

So if you know someone... who is worried for whatever reason, and you want to

convince them otherwise, don't show them this video, but maybe do try and use

some of the information inside it to tell them yourself.

And when you are trying to do that, don't dismiss or judge them for having

doubts. And I know that that is not always easy. I could have given that guy

a pass for holding up the wrong number of fingers, but I couldn't do it. I

don't have that level of restraint.

I'm a small, petty man, and that guy is a fucking idiot.

But if you think you can do better, it is incredibly important that you try.

Or, to put it in terms that that guy could understand, I've got two words for

you. Please just try as hard as you can.

And now, this.

And now, Dana Perino grew up on a ranch.

The Democrats are plowing old ground over and over again. And, look, I grew

up on a ranch.

Mount Rushmore, one of my very favorite places, went there every year as a kid

to visit because it was near my grandparents' ranch.

In my house, we had a dog named Jocko, and then my sister and I brought home a

cat from the ranch.

Mostly, we would be in Newcastle, Wyoming at my grandpa's ranch. That's

where my grandfather's ranch was. My grandfather's ranch. My grandfather on

my dad's side on the ranch, he got me a pony named Sally.

My first pony was named Sally. When I was just a baby, my grandfather bought

me a pony, and her name was Sally. I had a pony named Sally, and I had some other

animals. Really?

On my grandfather's ranch.

Now, my grandfather on my father's side up at the ranch. Sort of interesting to

me, so having grown up in the Mountain West ranching family, you know, that's

where I come from, ranching family.

A ranching family. I remember growing up on the ranch. I love early mornings, you

know, growing up on a ranch. Because I grew up on a cattle ranch.

Let's see, back on the ranch. Get up to the ranch. The ranch. I want to hear

more about that ranch experience someday, Dana.

Moving on. Finally tonight, a quick word about Twitter, the platform where HBO

once tweeted this pointless list comparing their shows to different types

of milk and left us out, which is absolutely ridiculous.

We even responded at the time, why aren't we milk? And we never heard back.

And who is more milk in the HBO universe than this show?

We are both bland white substances that if ingested too quickly will absolutely

wreck the rest of your evening. Plus, everything about my visual appearance

screams I was just shot out of an udder.

Now, we've talked before about how corporations routinely fail to get what

Twitter should be for, which is pictures of long boy ducks and photos of Gritty

holding a rock to his ear and saying he can hear the ocean.

But it is not just corporations.

Government accounts can also be desperate to appear fun on Twitter. Take

the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

On Wednesday, they tweeted out this image of a kid on their father's

shoulders looking out at a giant tentacled washing machine

There was no explanation beyond the caption, America.

And that wasn't even the weirdest thing they tweeted this week. On Monday, they

tweeted this picture of a giant wasp in a family kitchen with the caption, It's

not always this easy to find something dangerous in your home. Check for unsafe

products on saferproducts.gov. And guess what hashtag they included.

Look at this image closely and say your guess out loud now.

You are absolutely wrong. It was hashtag lesbian visibility day.

And let's just agree, that is definitely the representation the lesbian community

has been looking for. A reminder that they too can be attacked by radioactive

wasps in a blindingly dull kitchen.

You can't be what you can't see.

And look, I do get that they're just trying to go viral, but it is now hard

to see one of their serious tweets about product recalls like this one from

Thursday about a pool heater that can catch on fire without thinking...

Why is the account that once tweeted, this picture of a cat riding a Pegasus

trying to give me safety advice, pick a fucking lane?

Even the CIA has tried to be a fun online presence with tweets like this,

decipher the code brain teaser, the answer to which is apparently, roses are

red, violets are blue, happy Valentine's Day from the CIA to you, which...

which not only isn't charming, it's also the code phrase triggering a Ukrainian

sleeper agent to pick up his sniper rifle and get to work.

Now, the one government account that seems to know what it is doing is New

Jersey's state account, who once replied to the question, who let New Jersey have

a Twitter with the answer, your mom, and also replied to a tweet making fun of

the state with, that's not what your mom said.

Which is absolutely excellent because they know what their brand is.

a 14-year-old wiseass claiming to have plowed our mothers nightly, and they

execute that well.

But perhaps the saddest example of government Twitter is the U.S. Cyber

Command's National Mission Force account, which last year tweeted this

image of a Russian bear dropping candy, labeled with different types of malware.

And what exactly was the point of this?

Did they really think this would go viral and everyone would suddenly be

very into cyber security alerts?

Did they think Drake would retweet it with a bunch of fire emojis? Or that the

Russian government would reply with, fuck, you got us again.

Well, apparently, the rationale within Cyber Command was, Russia hates to be

seen as cuddly or cozy, so we want to tick them off. And they tried to do that

with this meme, which took a depressing amount of effort.

Thanks to a Freedom of Information request, we now know that from start to

finish, the picture of that Soviet bear dropping malware candy...

took 22 days.

22 days for that.

That is pathetic.

Especially when you consider that to date, it has got a grand total of 441

likes. 22 days for 441 likes. That is less than 1% of the likes that

Hank from Breaking Bad got for this tweet revealing that he's horny for sex

gifs. The point is, government Twitter accounts...

Please stop trying to be funny, stop making bad memes, stop trying to dunk on

foreign adversaries, and stop using hashtags where they are completely

irrelevant. If you're gonna take anything away from this, let it be that

you are just trying way too hard, and that for some absolutely inexplicable

reason, this show is not milk.

Why are we not milk?

That's our show. Thanks so much for watching. We'll see you next week. Good

night.
