Summary

Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) and Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) meet for their monthly airing of grievances. Rick and Ana discuss how America is quickly becoming dismissed on the world stage, why a White House social media summit is the pinnacle of dum-dum behavior, how fetishization of normalization is unpleasant, and how the executive order overreaches of the Obama administration (which once caused Republicans to self-immolate) seem quaint in retrospect. Also: A New Game! (What? We can have new games. Lovett doesn’t have a trademark on new games. Lovett, come play our games!) Thanks to our sponsors! It’s time for spring cleaning.

0:00.0	packing your toiletries always somehow involves a delicate game of stacking and space hacking.
0:06.4	And then there are the times that the Eurolotion explodes all over your adopt kit. Do you know what
0:11.6	adopt kit is? I did not know until relatively late in my adult life. That's the thing that you put
0:16.5	your stuff in, the toiletries. Classically, it's kind of loaf-shaped and has like a zipper down the
0:22.2	middle. Thanks to our forever war, almost no one has an actual adopt kit and they just use a
0:27.6	quart-sized plastic bag. But stuff spilling and that is still super annoying. And that is why
0:34.9	one of the many reasons why I love quip electric toothbrushes. I am genuinely a quip user and
0:40.5	this is also a genuine recommendation. You can use the case that it comes in like it's a commercial
0:46.5	packaging is also a really cool case. Just case case. It's clear. It's like a tube. It looks sort of
0:51.8	scientific. It has a screw cap. So it's totally waterproof, totally lotion-proof. And when you get
1:00.7	to your destination, you can use that screw cap. It actually has a little space in it. You can use it
1:04.2	as a stand. So I will stop trying to sell this on design merits someday. But I really love that part
1:11.2	of it. And in fact, I was at my dentist the other day and he asked me what toothbrush I use. This is
1:15.8	completely genuine interaction. I told him quip and he was like, oh yeah, those are good. They're
1:20.7	really nice looking. And that is in fact, ultimately for me, why I like quip, it's gorgeous. And it
1:27.3	is nice to use something gorgeous to do something you have to do. You can start using quip yourself.
1:32.3	It's just $25 to start if you go to get quip.com slash friends that's g-e-t-q-u-i-p.com slash friends.
1:40.4	And you will get your first refill pack for free. $25 to start. First refill for free. Go to get quip.com
1:48.0	slash friends g-e-t-q-u-i-p.com slash friends.
1:56.0	Hi, I'm Anna Marie Cox. Welcome to With Friends Like These where we talk about the differences
2:00.8	between us without letting them divide us. This risk guest is a holdover from the original
2:07.2	incarnation of the show where that title was taken very literally to mean left and right people
