00:00You know what? I want to let Marissa vent for a moment because she posted something on Instagram yesterday.
00:06I got a lot of response. I thought it was kind of interesting.
00:09And there is a movement right now to phase out some plastics that we use in the world to maybe cut back on things that don't biodegrade.
00:19And they're clogging up, you know, they're getting out in the water and the oceans or they're filling up landfills and so on and so forth.
00:24I know they're actually in the U.K. there's a big movement to to get rid of the plastic tampon.
00:30Yes. Yes. And go back to wood.
00:36Ow. Like George Washington's teeth. Martha Washington used wooden tampons and they were not effective.
00:43Well, they were balls, though. They were very, they were balls, a little absorbent.
00:46They left rings. But the applicator, the applicators, I saw Alice Eve because I follow her on Instagram,
00:53had posted a video of trying to end that. So they would go with like a cardboard or paper or something.
00:58My thing with these floating garbage farms that are in the oceans is that many times they kill sharks case.
01:06So they're good. We might be overlooking. That's what they're trying to eliminate, stuff like that.
01:10And I can get it. Your your your thing sort of actually, believe it or not,
01:15Marissa hit home to me because I think I have a level of passion about what you're talking about.
01:19All right. Since I was a little kid, like I'm thinking like second grade because I was in school in the 90s
01:25and there was a big push to like not have the refrigerator open for too long to turn off lights,
01:31to make sure that you turn off water, conserve water while you're brushing your teeth.
01:35I followed all this. It's stuck through my life. I've I walk whenever I can.
01:40I take public transportation.
01:42You're like a contestant on who wants to be a millionaire.
01:43Exactly. I will do anything to like save the earth. It's it's just second nature to me.
01:48I don't even think twice. I recycle. I reuse.
01:52But when I drink a vodka water, I want to be able to mash the crap out of the lemon and lime that come in my drink.
01:59And with these gosh darn paper straws, they get destroyed.
02:03And then I have this mushy straw in my drink and it pisses me off.
02:09So the gist of it is you do not like the paper straws because you do not believe they are resilient enough.
02:14No, they suck.
02:16OK, whoever's whoever's making them, they are they have no integrity and they fall apart.
02:21And I just want a plastic straw.
02:24I'm sorry. I love the turtles.
02:25Well, hang on, Steve, I wouldn't.
02:29This is the only time I've ever asked to do this.
02:31Can I come over there and borrow your reverb for a moment?
02:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, please.
02:34Oh, my God, it's yeah, it's a pleasure.
02:39Hold on. Turn it off for a second.
02:41Ladies and gentlemen, to me, this sounds like a first world problem.
02:46But we took a long journey to get to the point that Marissa doesn't like paper straws.
02:58I just had a realization, Preston, this is probably something that, like, I deal with three or four times a week.
03:03Is that more of a first world problem?
03:05Yeah.
03:06That I probably have a vodka water three or four times a week.
03:08Well, your alcohol addiction might be the bigger issue here.
03:11No, the raging alcoholism is a secondary issue.
03:13The waking up in alleyways.
03:15So I, listen, have you ever seen people drink sodas or anything that comes in a bottle out of a straw?
03:23You put the straw in the bottle?
03:24Yes.
03:25Yeah, yeah.
03:25I think part of the, now, do women sometimes, Marissa, opt to not drink out of a bottle or right out of a glass because of lipstick and a straw instead?
03:34Well, lipstick or staining your teeth, all of those things, or my mother would never drink anything out of a bottle.
03:39Like, that would, like, for me, like, when you see a bride.
03:42Is it vulgar?
03:42Or, like, well, like, I don't know.
03:44There's just time and place for that, and I think, uh...
03:47She'd take the bottle and go over to the windowsill.
03:49There we go.
03:53I love opening bottles that way.
03:54Yes.
03:55There's a great scene in Overboard where Goldie Hong comes back.
03:58Yes.
03:59That's exactly what I thought of.
04:00She's opening the beer that way.
04:02That hurts your hand.
04:03Do you think guys would drink beer out of a bottle if, uh, the top of the bottle looked like a little...
04:08Wait, I probably shouldn't say it out loud.
04:09Okay, I was...
04:12You guys would drink...
04:14I got a question.
04:16Yes, Casey, something you want to tell the class?
04:18You think guys would drink something out of beer that looked like a vagina?
04:20No.
04:21He's saying the other thing.
04:23Well, opposite, every bachelorette party ever would buy those bottles of beer.
04:28Right?
04:28That's true, yeah.
04:29I'm sure there are things that are similar, you know.
04:32But, you know, people get picky about the taste of the stuff in the can and the bottle if it affects the taste, you know.
04:40Yeah.
04:41And straws are just one more step.
04:42Those are things you think about, huh?
04:44Oh, it's just what, you know.
04:44Dear diary, I wonder if men would drink out of bottles.
04:49Stop it.
04:50If it looked like penises.
04:52Somebody in this room had mentioned chocolate tampons earlier, right?
04:55Yeah.
04:56I was trying to help the health industry.
04:58And there's an obvious cooperative between Hershey's and...
05:01Okay.
05:02Fanpix.
05:03Well, Marissa has had it.
05:04I thought you would get more support on the phones, Marissa, to be honest.
05:07Not a one.
05:07On the paper straws, and it's not really happening.
05:10You're a complainer.
05:11I got a lot of hands-up emojis on my Instagram, so I got a...
05:14What the hell does that mean?
05:14I don't know.
05:15People were like, praise.
05:16Give up.
05:17Put your hands up.
05:18Give up your stupid calls.
05:19Give it up.
05:20No.
05:20Praise.
05:21No, like, word girl, we support you.
05:23Word girl.
05:24Yeah.
05:25Oh, my God.
05:26It reminds me of Pat Boone's first day in Compton.
05:31Word girl.
05:33Word girl.
05:35Oh, I'm so...
05:36I just hate these goddamn paper straws.
05:39They're so...
05:39That's it.
05:40Word girl.
05:40That's it.
05:41Word girl.
05:41Preach.
05:42Preach, girl.
