Chapter 1: What technology issues does the host face at the start of the episode?
This is the pre-show before the show. Some of you will be here. Hello, outdoor space, Marcella. You're very fast. I'll start the actual show at the top of the hour. Don't make me say 500 times how many things are broken this morning. It's everything.
everything that should be working is not working but i'll get into that at the top of the hour for now i can see your comments and you can chat with each other all right so i'm uh Now coming to you through the studio, the Rumble Studio, which partially works, but not the audio. Yes, I was all excited because my iPhone can operate as a microphone, which I would need to use to have good audio.
But the moment I needed to actually use it for real, It no longer shows up as an option. And I'd love to tell you that I had notes, but I don't really have any notes because the printer didn't work. So the microphone doesn't work, and my other microphone doesn't work, and my printer doesn't work. And locals doesn't work if I use it without the Rumble Studio. So it's that kind of a day.
And I would be sitting in my normal place, except my body doesn't work. If I sit at my desk here for four hours, I'm just crippled after that. So I had to get in a different position.
Chapter 2: What recent political scandals are discussed in Minnesota?
So my body doesn't work. The printer doesn't work. Don't have any notes. The microphone doesn't work and the other microphone doesn't work and locals doesn't work, but at least I have coffee. No, I'm just kidding. I don't have a coffee warmer over here, so I don't have coffee, but at least
The coffee has, you know, the simultaneous sip written here so that I'll be able to do the simultaneous sip because I'll just read the coffee cup. Oh, wait. It's the wrong fucking coffee cup. It's the only one that the letters have come off of. So I don't have the simultaneous sip. I don't have fucking coffee. I don't have a coffee warmer. My goddamn fucking printer is broken.
Locals is on the fritz again two days in the fucking row. And... Two microphones don't work. Both of them should. How's your day so far? Absolutely every fucking thing is broken this morning. Every fucking thing. So that's how I'm starting off. But will I be able to compensate? Probably. I'll do my best. I'm using digital notes. You're going to have to do the simultaneous sip from memory.
And I'll pretend I'm drinking coffee. And as long as I don't sit up and crunch over, my back won't hurt. Although it does hurt right now. So there's that. Oh. Look at that. Ta-da. That one works. We have learned today that whatever you do, don't use the one broken mug. I made a mistake of running it through the dishwasher. Did any of you have that problem?
You ran it through the dishwasher and then took the letters off? You're back in 2017 Periscope, huh? Oh, those were the days. But do you remember how bad Periscope was? Periscope was an absolute disaster. That thing never worked. And still, we loved it. All right, it's time for a show. What do you think?
guys ready all right if you're just joining us at the top of the hour let me give you an update um i couldn't print out my notes because my printer is not working and i'm not using my microphone because i had to relocate because my back is killing me but i was going to use my
iPhone as a microphone because it shows up as one of the options, and that would be really good, except that doesn't work now. Even though I tested it ahead of time, it no longer shows up as an option. So you're going to have bad audio. My notes are going to be read from the digital device. And I wish I had coffee. But that wasn't going to happen today.
So I'm going to read the simultaneous sip because I now have a cup in which it is written there. By the way, if you don't have your cup, what is wrong with you? You ready? All right. All right, let's get ready for the simultaneous sip. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or slime, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.
Oh, wouldn't it be good if I had coffee? And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. Boy, it better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now, although one of us is just pretending. Wouldn't that be good if I had actual coffee? No, I don't really. I don't need any coffee. I had enough today.
