Oh no, where am I going to go if TikTok gets banned?

I don't know, nerd, maybe the bar.

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is morning somewhere.

For December 26, 2020,

my microphone was turned way up there.

So sorry if I blasted you out a little bit.

Nah, blasted and sitting right over there.

That's your birthday, that's your birthday, that's your birthday.

Happy day after Christmas.

Yeah, so I was trying to look up yesterday in the afternoon.

What is the official diagnosis, condition that causes that crash on Christmas

afternoon where you're just, it's not like Thanksgiving where you just get kind of tired.

It is like, do you get this?

I get this.

Absolutely.

What am I doing with myself?

Like an afternoon fugue state. Yeah, it's a good idea. And yeah, it's just it's, I think it's sort of the end result of everything that you've been working up towards and stressing about like all the gifts and making sure you've got the food and making sure you get the things and make sure the kids have a good time. It is the tree and you've got all the decorations that you need. And is everything in order and all, did you forget anything? All the stress leading up to Christmas. Now the gifts are done. The kids are playing happily. You've got the food. It's all sorted. If you miss anything, too bad. The stores are closed anyway. Nothing you can do about it. Kick back. Chill. And so finally, that stress can switch off. Right. It can switch off. And it's like your body doesn't know what to do.

I saw all these reels on Instagram. And there's a thing, too. I've noticed a guy who has started to call this out. We've taken trends too far. Like, we, like, you hear about comedians, like, stealing each other's jokes. That's all anybody does. Like, how many times have you seen, like, a funny joke on an Instagram reel? And then just people, like, literally go, oh, I'm going to do that same exact joke. Like literally, I'm going to do the joke. That's what trends are. Yeah, but it's like you're just taking someone else's original joke. Just repost the thing, right? I mean, it's like, there's some people that's like, their whole reel is like, I'm going to do the joke of the day or the joke of the week. How is that creative in any way whatsoever? It's like a,ification of, I'm sure, is the way that people see it is like, it's a meme, right? It's cultural dialogue and so on. It's not stealing, you know, the joke. It is, though. I know, I know, but I'm sure they don't see it that way. They see it as like participating in the cultural dialogue. And how do we do that with easily understandable memes?

Everyone understands the point of this meme really quickly and easily, right?

That's what makes it a meme.
