Hey, everybody. It's me. Sam Stein. Manjaniard DeBorke. I'm joined by Jared Poland, who is the guru of everything we do.

And all the good stuff that you see on your computer, that's him. He makes this look good. Jared, good to see you, buddy. How you doing?

I'm doing good for the holidays.

Oh, yeah, yeah, me too. I'm sure it'll be slow. So look, we're going to do something fun for the viewers.

Basically, this was a stupid idea that I had. And Jared, who is amenable and a good egg, and who I sent all my dumb ideas to, he, I don't know if you initially agreed to do it willingly or if I had to

badge you. How many times I have to ask you? Three or four times? At least. Yeah. Okay.

So this is the backstory. Donald Trump, as everyone now knows, has this weird thing going on with

his hand. And sometimes there's bandages there.

Sometimes it's just a lot of makeup covering it up. And it's perplexed a lot of people.

Like, why is this? Why is this happening? What, what's going on? And the white has been a little bit cagey about it. I think that's fair to say. You watch all these briefings. They've been pretty

cagey, right? Yeah. For the most part, Caroline has kind of just beat around the bush on the question.

Like, she'll get asked about Trump's hand.

And she pretty much always blames it on the handshakes on his aspirin intake.

Yeah.

Okay.

So the other day, she was pretty explicit.

She's like, look, he's shaking hands all the time and he's on

aspirin and it's just causing an incredible bruising and i had this idea in my head well that seems

testable like we can we can actually figure out not maybe scientifically but we can try try to approximate to a degree what it's like

to shake a lot of hands and take aspirin.

And we can decide based on the results if she's telling the truth or not.

And so the question was, how do you go about shaking a lot of hands?
