doesn't need any more trouble, right? So somebody from social media said that the kids in cages, because they all have this foil, aluminum foil looking blankets, and he said that it was making all the kids look like gas station burritos. I just don't know how to respond to that one because I laughed as soon as I realized, oh yeah, a burrito is wrapped in that tin foil thing. And there's pictures…
← Previous segment →ng them AOC burritos. You're right on the edge of being racist by modern standards. So far you're just being offensive.
And by the way I always try to make this distinction. Rarely do you see a comment that's actually racist. Even the ones that people are getting canceled etc. We've come to believe that offensive, something that bothers somebody, is also racist. But I would argue they're rarely the same. I would say that most times most of the things that people say that they get canceled for are meant to be offensive slash funny. They're not meant to change the law to racism. It's not meant to discriminate. It's not even meant to make anybody's life worse. It's just offensive like a lot of humor is.
All right. Somebody said what happened to the dill burrito? So the dill burrito was a burrito I made years ago and tried to market because I had all the vitamins and minerals you needed for the day. But there were a few problems. Number one the food industry is crooked and so when we would go on a shelf there was a certain company who shall remain nameless who would send their people in to put their products in front of it. So we would actually sell zero units because nobody would even know it was in the store.
So we got into 7-Eleven and Costco and Walmart and we got into all the big stores but nobody ever saw it. And the other problem is that the product didn't have the repeat customers that we hoped because the product itself made you repeat. Oh did it make you repeat? You know this is sort of a classic thing.
Of course we tested them all and I think everybody who tested the prototypes said, "Oh these are tasty." And then we would go off and have intestinal distress. But you kind of think it's just you, right? Like you don't think it's the product. You think oh maybe my body doesn't respond to the spicy food or something.
But the feedback from the customers was apparently this product made you far more than any product of all time. Somehow this product got all the way through the testing. We all ate it and tested it and we all had the same experience like privately and individually. We all had like the worst, you know, but I think all of us individually didn't talk about it and we just figured well this is my body. It's just one of those things. Didn't really think it was the quality of the product so much. Just thought of something about me.
And then you find out they put it out there basically you could eat that thing once, destroy all your furniture. That's one of my best failures of all my failures. I think I like that one the best because it's so ridiculous.
Oh God. Obviously that's all I've got. We could probably just feed those dill burrit

os to pigs to make methane. I think we could fuel a major city with two dill burritos and a couple of pigs. So you'd have all the methane you ever need. All right. That's all for now. I'll talk to you later. Ah, all right. I'm a mess. That's all for now. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
