Everything is emails and protein
Transcript
Every day of my life is just sending and reading emails and trying to get enough protein. There's literally no time for anything else. It's better day I wake up and there's best 10,000 emails and it's all from stupid places like Wendy's or the Yes. And then you gotta go find protein. You gotta seek out protein. And as soon as you have protein, there's more emails. It's just everyday with this shit. Why don't emails have protein in them? I'm pretty sure we have the technology. Why can't we make reading an email give you 20 grams of protein? And also reading and sending emails should build muscle. We shouldn't have to be doing both of these things. This is bullshit. This is not what Good intended. Humans weren't meant to both consume protein and send emails. Like, our ancestors didn't have to deal with this shit. Do you think the cavemen had to both read emails and eat protein? No. You just eat a couple berries better once in a while, have, like, the ankle of a wooly mammoth, and then you would just freeze your ass off and die at, like, 22. And that was perfect. That's honestly how life should have been. And now we live way past that. And what do we have to do to survive? We good to send emails and we have to eat more protein. It's not worth it.
