Well, of course, there's no way around it,
we are still in the middle of a pandemic,
and if that wasn't bad enough,
now more contagious variants of COVID-19
are popping up around the world.
So, as you can imagine, it's more important
than ever to stay safe.
Now, one of the easiest ways to do that
is by wearing a mask.
I know we've been talking about this for almost a year,
but a lot of people still aren't doing it.
You've got to wear a mask until we make it
all the way through this mess.
So, with that in mind, I'd like my audience
to set an example for the rest of the country.
Andy?
I think it's a great idea.
I mean, it's a point that still needs to be made.
I agree 100%, Andy.
So, if you're watching from home,
that's right, I'm talking directly to you,
go ahead and please put on a mask.
No, no, no, wait.
Where are you going?
Come on back.
(squeaking)
I get it.
I know masks can be a little uncomfortable,
but it's for everyone's safety.
Okay, I see, you have asthma, huh?
That's the idea?
Doesn't matter.
Health officials say people with asthma
should wear face masks as well,
so please, for all of our sakes, just put on a mask.
Great, thank you.
All right, let's do the show.
This week, all eyes are on Washington D.C.
as Congress prepares for a Senate,
what, what's the matter?
Oh, your lenses are fogging up?
Just take off your glasses, yeah.
God, your eyesight is horrible.
All right, put the glasses back on,
but then tuck your mask under your glasses, okay?
See? That's a little trick.
Anyway, the whole world is watching
to see if Congress will convict President Trump
despite, I'm sorry, what is going on?
Have you been drinking?
(squeaking)
Don't lie to me, have you been drinking?
(squeaking)
Thought so.
I don't blame you, it's been a very stressful time,
a lot of people are using alcohol to lower their anxiety.
A lot of people are drinking to self medicate,
and it's a perfectly normal reaction to what,
wait, are you high too?
Are you drunk and high?
(laughter)
No, no, sorry, I do not want a hit.
No, that's just not my thing, okay.
All right, just take it easy, take it easy.
Just, what?
No, no, I love you too, no, I love you too, man.
I love you too, yeah, your hands don't match,
but I love you too.
Just settle down, okay?
Just go back to your couch, just relax, okay?
Have a seat on the couch.
I'm excited about tonight's show,
we have a great one tonight.
Mike Birbiglia is joining us, what?
No, no, no, no, just be careful, be careful.
I don't want you to, no, no, no, don't...
Hold it.
Don't pass out on me.
Don't pass out, okay?
Just take it easy, just breathe.
Keep the mask on, but breathe, deep breaths, all right?
We'll take a break.
When we come back, Mike Birbiglia is with us, stick around.
(upbeat music)
God, you stink.
Have you had a shower?
You can shower.
