JID has spent the past two years working on his upcoming album, The Forever Story. He seemed ready to release it in 2020, but uncertainty behind sharing a project during a pandemic caused the rapper to hold off on its release as he revealed during a string of tweets that year. “I’m tryna line it up perfect cuz it’s hard to create in uncertain times,” he wrote. The following year, he teased the project once again by sharing in-studio shots with collaborators like 6lack, Buddy, Denzel Curry, Rico Nasty, and Smino. This year, it seems like the cards have fallen in the right place for the arrival of The Forever Story.
JID kicks off his 2022 campaign with his brand new single, “Surround Sound.” The track features contributions from 21 Savage and Baby Tate for what amounts to a hard-hitting release. JID leads the way with a quickfire verse that sits perfectly over the song’s thumping production. 21 Savage checks in for a menacing verse and Baby Tate closes out the first half of the song with fluttering vocals to bring those to an end. JID then returns to lay another cut-throat to conclude his grand return. The single also arrives with a matching video that captures JID, 21 Savage, and Baby Tate out on the prowl for some late-night fun.
Joey Badass’ sophomore album, All Amerikkkan Badass, will turn five years old this month. It’s a strong project that showed his upward progression following his 2015 debut B4.Da.$$, but since then, Joey hasn’t delivered a full-length body of work to the world. His last release was his 2020 EP The Light Pack which featured three songs and a guest appearance from Pusha T. With that being said, it seems like this year could finally bring us a new Joey Badass album. The rapper kicks off his 2022 campaign with his new single, “The Revenge.”
The new track is equal parts bashful and triumphant as Joey makes his grand return with a big statement: “B*tch, I’m really really out for blood this time.” The song continues with Joey celebrating his wins how his recent success is the best revenge for his haters. “The Revenge” arrives after Joey confirmed that his third album will arrive at some point this year. “The album dropping this year for sure… for sure, for sure,” during a recent livestream on Instagram. “I ain’t gonna say exactly when though cause there’s certain rappers who be on my heels. So imma just — it’s coming though.”
Outside of music, Joey has been making a name for himself in the acting world thanks to appearances in Grown-ish, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Two Distant Strangers, which won an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.
You can listen to “The Revenge” in the video above.
We’re a few weeks into 2022 and while we’re all about looking forward instead of dwelling on the past, we can’t help but think back on some of the best food and drinks we tried last year. Previously, we asked some bartenders and bar professionals to tell us their favorite sips of bourbon from 2021. Today, we turn our attention to their absolute favorite whiskey sips of the past year.
That means our scope is a little broader this go-’round — we’re talking about single malt scotch, bourbon, rye, blended scotch, Irish whiskey, American single malt, and various other varieties of whisk(e)y from all over the world.
Our panel of bartenders threw out some great whiskeys that we think you’ll enjoy. Some are available at your local liquor store, some are limited releases, and others are hard-to-find, expensive, unicorn bottles. All are good.
As a Fitzpatrick I am, no doubt, partial to my Irish whiskey. I had the opportunity to try the Red Breast 27-year-old this past summer and had no idea what to expect. When I first tasted it, I was completely caught off-guard by the unusual flavor in a most amazing way. Orange zest, cinnamon, vanilla, and more dried fruit come together like no other whiskey I’ve ever tasted.
Dare I say I enjoyed it more than my beloved Midleton Very Rare? Let’s just say it is one of the most unique and delicious whiskeys I’ve ever had the opportunity to taste. Simply amazing.
I’ve been trying a lot of Uncle Nearest lately. They have won quite a few awards and I like their story. It’s caramel up front with a wheaty rye finish. Of the two, my pick is Uncle Nearest 1856. This 100-proof, award-winning expression is a blend of eight to 14-year-old Tennessee whiskeys.
The grand prize of best whisky of 2021 for me still goes to one of my all-time favorites, Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky. With a high corn mash bill, this Japanese whisky uses the Coffey distillation process to give us light and not too complex grain forward notes, while still offering spice and a touch of smoke.
A wonderful segue into Japanese whisky for those who love bourbon, definitely a winner.
Single malt scotch took the trophy home for me this year. I have always tried to be impartial when it comes to tasting spirits, but there is something about the way the Scots distill. Glenmorangie, in particular, impressed me with their Signet bottling. A
ttempting, and succeeding, in capturing the roasted flavors of espresso bean and chocolate in a dram, this whiskey really leaves an impression on the more adventurous drinker.
Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Bourbon Whiskey
Buffalo Trace
Subhash Sankar, head mixologist at Alaia Belize in San Pedro Town, Belize
This bourbon whiskey is bottled at nearly barrel proof. Just a splash of Kentucky limestone water is added after a decade of aging. Rich, yet smooth, this bourbon takes a back seat to none. A sweet vanilla nose with caramel, pecan, and oak wood with smooth, mellow flavor consisting of robust wheat, cherries, and oak. It features a long, smoky wheat finish with hints of fruit, spice, and oak tannins.
Caol Ila 30 Year is my pick. It’s just not what you expect from an Islay with deep spice and mild peatiness as it opens up some tropical fruit. It’s really next level. I suggest you try it if you ever get a chance.
1.21 Gigawatts by Seven Stills has delightful chocolate, coffee, and nutty notes with a hint of spice. This whiskey first began as an imperial oat stout that was then distilled and aged in new, charred American oak barrels.
Barrell Dovetail Whiskey
Barrel
Christopher Devern, lead bartender at Red Owl Tavern in Philadelphia
Barrell has been making some very experimental and interesting whiskey lately. One of them was the Dovetail release, blending whiskey that had been finished in a variety of casks including rum, port, and Cabernet. At around 124 proof, I recommend pouring over a big cube or adding a drop of water to open it up and bring out the array of flavors.
Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof Tennessee Rye Whiskey
Jack Daniel
Mark Phelan, beverage director of 16″ On Center in Chicago
I’m a big fan of the Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Barrel Proof special releases, and their rye release this year was a reminder of their team’s impressive talent. It has a huge mouthfeel, rich dried fruit, and toasted cinnamon notes, and is shockingly balanced at such a high proof.
It’s a memorable sip from a wild and wacky year.
Navazos Palazzi Palo Cortado Single Cask Whisky
Navazos Palazzi
Ally O’Keefe, bartender at The Bower in New Orleans
This was such a unique whisky. Made from 100 percent Spanish-grown corn yet aged in the cask of traditionally dry sherry, I didn’t know what to expect. The bouquet was presented with freshly cut wood, butterscotch, caramel, and crème brûlée. On the palate, this whisky was hot, buttery, and exceptionally smooth, with notes of sweet red fruit, Medjool dates, fig, butterscotch pudding, sautéed mushrooms, and brown sugar.
It was earthy, somewhat funky, and yet dessert-like. Absolutely delicious.
The best sip of whisky I had in 2021 was Harleston Green Blended Scotch because of the unbelievable number of cocktail options it holds. From the first moment I tasted it, my mind was racing with opportunities for interesting flavor combinations. It has really lovely notes of honey, spring flowers, and warm spice that helps please the palate all the way around.
Sagamore Spirit Straight Rye out of Baltimore. It’s very easy to drink with notes of vanilla, earthy spice, and honey that come through on the palate. I really enjoyed this one.
Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye Whiskey
Buffalo Trace
Alejandro Mendoza, restaurant and bar manager at Hotel SLO in San Luis Obispo, California
I just got a chance to try this one a few weeks ago, and it did not disappoint. A perfect tribute to the man credited for coming up with one of America’s most famous cocktails, the Sazerac. The flavors that stand out in this one are figs, toffee, clove, and mint.
For nonprofit animal rescue organization Tahoe PAWS and TLC 4 Furry Friends, reuniting lost pets with their owners is all in a day’s work. However, one recent rescue has gone viral, after the team successfully found a pitbull who had been missing for nearly four months.
Poor little Russ, a 3-year-old pitbull pup, had gotten spooked one night during a camping trip with his owner, Ricardo Rodriguez, in late August.
Rodriguez had done his best to find Russ: getting the help of friends, calling local shelters, posting fliers. To no avail.
And then, the Caldor Fire hit. As it destroyed several homes and businesses along a stretch of 200,000 acres, the flames forced an emergency evacuation for Rodriguez. From there, things began to turn bleak.
“After months of not hearing back from anyone, I assumed he was in good hands with a different owner,” Rodriguez told CNN.
Luckily, Rodriguez and Russ’ story was far from over.
On December 16 (four months later), a skier noticed a dog, curled up in the snow next to a tree. That’s when Tahoe PAWS was notified.
Two volunteers, Leona Allen and Elsa Guale, gladly took on the mission, which would not be easy in the frigid temperatures.
Allen, who had volunteered with PAWS for three years, told CNN “We didn’t even hesitate.This was a one-shot deal, we either got him or he didn’t survive the night.”
Trekking up a steep incline, Guale and Allen waded through the snow, guided only by Russ’ tracks. When they reached the tree, all Allen could see was a “dark mass.” No movement was detected, no signs of life.
And then … Russ opened his eyes. They had found him. And he was alive.
But the venture had only just begun. Gaule and Allen would need to safely get a very scared Russ down the hill. Despite his fearful growls, Graule won his trust with treats and patience. Without it, rescue would have been impossible, Allen told the San Francisco Chronicle, according to the Stamford Advocate.
When Russ finally allowed his head to rest on Gaule’s hand, the women wrapped him up in a blanket, placed him on a sled (given by El Dorado County Animal Services Officer Kyle Shumaker) and slowly brought him to the bottom of the hill. The whole endeavor took several hours.
Russ might have been lost in the most extreme of elements for four months, but the vet deemed the pup completely healthy. Wendy Jones, founder and executive director for Tahoe PAWS, attributes this to his “survival mode” kicking in.
This is more than a turn of phrase. Survival mode, or feral mode, is a very real phenomena that happens when a dog is separated from its owner. As stress starts to deplete serotonin levels, a panicked pup will undergo a drastic (although usually temporary) personality change as primal instincts take over. When this happens, even the most well-trained dog can not recognize their own name.
That is why Tahoe PAWS strongly advises that if your own furry friend goes missing, the first thing you should do (yes, even before searching yourself) is to contact local Animal Services.
The pit bull-terrier mix ran away from his owner’s vehicle last summer as his owner visited the Tahoe area for a job opportunity. https://t.co/UhofdORg8Z
When Rodriguez received the good news, the dog owner was “ecstatic,” according to CNN. And only one day after Christmas, the two were reunited. This was thanks not only to the wonderful collective efforts of multiple organizations, but also due to the fact that Russ had been microchipped. Though Russ’ chip had either “not been registered or possibly not updated,” according to Jones, it was no match for the team’s investigative work.
“This is a great reminder that microchipping your pet and maintaining the registration in your name is important,” Tahoe PAWS & TLC 4 Furry Friends wrote in its Facebook post.
Russ is now back where he belongs, thanks to the diligence and commitment of the amazing team at Tahoe PAWS and El Dorado County Animal Services.
Allen shared with the Chronicle (as reported by SFist.com) how grateful she was to help.
“As a rescue organization . . . this is what we’re supposed to do…I’ve worked some pretty gnarly rescues, this probably being the top. I keep reliving the moment when he opened his eyes and lifted his head, and just the joy and elation inside of me was overwhelming. It’s one more life that gets to live happy and warm and safe.“
As a nonprofit, Tahoe PAWS relies on volunteer services and outside contributions to help supply necessary equipment for these amazing rescues. If you’d like to donate to its cause, you can do so here.
Laughter is one of the most natural impulses in humans. Most babies start to laugh out loud at around 3 to 4 months, far earlier than they are able to speak or walk. Expressing enjoyment or delight comes naturally to us, but we’re not the only creatures who communicate with giggles.
Researchers at UCLA have identified 65 species of animals who make “play vocalizations,” or what we would consider laughter. Some of those vocalizations were already well documented—we’ve known for a while that apes and rats laugh—but others may come as a surprise. Along with a long list of primate species, domestic cows and dogs, foxes, seals, mongooses and three bird species are prone to laughter as well. (Many bird species can mimic human laughter, but that’s not the same as making their own play vocalizations.)
Primatologist and UCLA anthropology graduate student Sasha Winkler and UCLA professor of communication Greg Bryant shared their findings in an article in the journal Bioacoustics.
The authors explored various play vocalization sounds, recording them as noisy or tonal, loud or quiet, high- or low-pitched, short or long, a single call or rhythmic pattern.
But really, what we want to see is what animal laughter sounds like from various species, right? While the researchers said that it can be hard to document laughter in the wild, especially among animals with quieter vocalizations, we do have some examples captured on video.
Check out these foxes laughing like little kids:
Or maybe little kids on helium. How fun is that?
Ever seen a bonobo chimp laugh? Just as cute.
I’m not sure if tickling a baby bonobo is sweet or torturous, though these researchers surely know what they’re doing. It’s always delightful to see the instinctual playfulness of primates.
Laughter in some animals isn’t as audibly apparent as it is in these foxes and chimps, though. Researchers from Humboldt University of Berlin found that rats laugh when they are tickled—and appear to enjoy tickling, as they seek it out—but their vocalizations are ultrasonic, so it’s hard to hear them without special instruments.
The UCLA researchers shared that the study of laughter in animals can help us better understand our own evolutionary behavior.
“This work lays out nicely how a phenomenon once thought to be particularly human turns out to be closely tied to behavior shared with species separated from humans by tens of millions of years,” Bryant said, according to UCLA.
“When we laugh, we are often providing information to others that we are having fun and also inviting others to join,” Winkler said. “Some scholars have suggested that this kind of vocal behavior is shared across many animals who play, and as such, laughter is our human version of an evolutionarily old vocal play signal.”
Raise your hand if you just want to see a cow laughing for real now.
When Jimmy Kimmel takes to the street, you know you’re in for a good laugh at just how little we actually know about, well, seemingly anything. That goes for anatomy too. In this case, female anatomy.
In a segment called “What Do You Know About The Female Body?” men try—and hilariously fail—to answer even the most basic questions, like “does a female have one uterus, or two?” much to the amazement of some of their female partners.
Here are some of the very best bits of nonwisdom:
Woman have LOTS of fallopian tubes and ovaries, apparently.
When asked, “how many fallopian tubes does the average lady have?” one man prefaced with “I know I’m gonna be way off,” before answering “four.”
He was right about being way off, indeed. Women usually have one fallopian tube on either side of the uterus, making that two fallopian tubes.
Another guy guessed that a woman has not one, not two, but six ovaries. Which, in case you didn’t know, is three times more than the correct answer (two ovaries, one on either side of the uterus). Where would a woman keep four extra ovaries? Her purse?
A mammogram examines the stomach.
The interviewer also asked: “What part of the body does the mammogram examine?”
“The lower half…” replied one man. Yikes.
And when asked to demonstrate where exactly the “lower half” is, he gestured toward the uppermost part of his belly, seemingly avoiding the actual area a mammogram covers entirely.
PMS is all in the mind, but only annually.
The next question up was “What does PMS stand for?”
And it definitely happens more than “once a year.”
An IUD is a “mammogram device.”
Oh, and a NuvaRing is a “pap schmear,” and a speculum is the actual “IUD.” Holy moly, if you thought IUDs were uncomfortable before…
Things really took a turn once the graphics came out.
And men were asked to point to where the cervix is. Plenty of things were pointed at—like the uterus. But sadly, no cervix findings.
Changing gears, the interview instructed the men to “point at something you know.”
To which one man replied (inaccurately) “uh…that’s a baby?”
Unless the woman is giving birth to a colon, that was incorrect.
Later in the video, a man is asked “where does the baby go?”
“In there,” the man answers after pointing to the ovaries. (Spoiler alert: It doesn’t go there. A fetus grows in the uterus, which this man thought was the cervix.)
His wife, a gynecologist no less, chuckled “I’m mortified…I’m apparently not a very good educator at home for my husband.”
Though this is just for pure fun, it is food for thought.
A woman’s autonomy over her own body has been the subject of much controversial discussion lately. And I can’t help but wonder how certain politicians/leaders would fare if given the same questions. Perhaps it is unwise to try to govern that which is not fully understood, just saying.
U.S. Rep. Warren Davidson, a Republican from Ohio, sparked considerable outrage on Wednesday when he compared proof of vaccination cards to the Gesundheitspass, a health pass that Nazis demanded people carry during Hitler’s reign of terror.
His tweet was a response to Washington, D.C.’s new mandate that anyone 12 and older will need to show proof of at least one vaccine shot before entering restaurants and other indoor venues.
Davidson tweeted an image of a Gesundheitspass along with the caption, “This has been done before” as a response to a tweet about the mandate from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser. He then took things a step further by doubling down on his tweet with an explanation.
“Let’s recall that the Nazis dehumanized Jewish people before segregating them, segregated them before imprisoning them, imprisoned them before enslaving them, and enslaved them before massacring them,” Davidson tweeted. “Dehumanizing and segregation are underway – and wrong.”
This has been done before. #DoNotComply https://twitter.com/mayorbowser/status/1480956796395216900u00a0u2026pic.twitter.com/pHeeNPVhlP
By invoking the Holocaust, Davidson broke the first rule of politics, never compare anything or anyone to the atrocities committed by Hitler and the Nazis. The only logical comparison that can be drawn between the Nazis and Washington, D.C. is that they both required people to present official documents with information about their health.
The city of Washington, D.C. is trying to keep people healthy by preventing the spread of a deadly disease. The Nazis were running a campaign of racial purity that would lead to the deaths of millions of people. The two aren’t remotely alike.
Davidson’s statement wasn’t just ridiculous, it was dangerous as well. It trivialized the unspeakable suffering that was caused by Hitler. When we downplay the seriousness of such an event, we embolden those who wish to see it happen again.
It also falsely turns those who are unvaccinated into victims when they are the people who are much more likely to cause the spread of the disease and put others’ health at risk. Davidson’s tweet is also playing up the idea that the unvaccinated are somehow righteous martyrs and victims of an authoritarian state. When people get a feeling of self-righteousness over their decisions, they are much less likely to change their minds.
Let’s face it, people who incorrectly believe they are standing up to people as bad as Nazis feel pretty good about themselves.
Davidson’s tweet was criticized by the Auschwitz Museum in Poland for “exploiting the tragedy.”
Auschwitz was the site of the Nazi’s most notorious concentration camp where more than 1.1 million people were exterminated.
Exploiting of the tragedy of all people who between 1933-45 suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany in a debate about vaccines & covid limitations in the time of global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decay.
Davidson’s tweet was also condemned by Yad Vashem, which said he denigrated the “memory of victims and survivors.” Yad Vashem is Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. It is dedicated to preserving the memory of the Jews who were murdered and honoring Jews who fought against their Nazi oppressors.
Yad Vashem strongly condemns the use of the Holocaust to further agendas that are totally unrelated to the Holocaust. Manipulating the Holocaust in this way trivializes the horrific atrocities that were perpetrated & denigrates the memory of victims and survivors.
On Thursday, Davidson did something rather shocking in today’s political climate, he apologized for his tweet. It wasn’t a full-throated mea culpa, however, as he clung to the idea that there was some association between both health passes.
He started it with a quote from Mark Twain, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.”
“I had hoped to point that out,” Davidson wrote. “Bad things happen when governments dehumanize people. Sometimes, there is a next step – to systematically segregate them. Unfortunately, any reference to how the Nazis actually did that prevents a focus on anything other than the Holocaust. I appreciate my Jewish friends who have explained their perspectives and feel horrible that I have offended anyone. My sincere apologies.”
For my Jewish friends, and all others, my sincere apologies.pic.twitter.com/gyZm1onCOb
Davidson may have apologized for his comparison, but he doesn’t seem to understand the deeper error of his ways. We need politicians who represent large factions of unvaccinated people to speak to them honestly about the benefits of vaccination and the good it does for public health. Instead, he chooses to play to their self-righteous victimhood, which only exacerbates the pandemic and makes it necessary for governments to mandate vaccine passes in the first place.
Hilaria Baldwin, wife of Alec Baldwin, is best known for pretending to be Spanish and having a tendency for being tone deaf. Her latest online antics are a clear example of the latter. As Mediaite reports, Baldwin posted a series of wildly disparate photos to her Wednesday Instagram story, two of them featuring her husband staring at the camera blankly and holding up two very strange pictures, which the Oscar nominee apparently drew.
Hilaria Baldwin on InstagramHilaria Baldwin on Instagram
In the middle of Baldwin’s Story, there were two photos of Alec. In both of them, he is standing against a wood-paneled wall, staring glumly at the camera as he holds up a drawing. In the first drawing, a frowning man says “Hello!” and a woman in a bikini replies “May I help you?” In the second, the man is lying down, saying “Oh, God. Please help me. I’m dying,” as the woman replies, “Do I know you?”
Hilaria posted these two photos with the captions “ALEC AND HIS DRAWINGS OF HIM AND ME” on the first and “NOT DRAMATIC AT ALL…” on the second, along with a small video figure of herself sarcastically clapping.
Ummm… what?
Journalist Emily Miller saw the photos and wondered “Is Alec Baldwin taunting the sheriff investigating him?”
Is Alec Baldwin taunting the sheriff investigating him ? Look what he’s holding… pic.twitter.com/ZUkjAPPzxD
While the meaning behind them will likely not be revealed, the timing behind the cryptic (and rather childlike) drawings is odd. Earlier today, the Santa Fe Sheriff’s office—which is still investigating the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was killed when a gun Baldwin was holding on the set of the Western Rust accidentally fired—said that the actor has yet to comply with their search warrant for his cell phone, while Baldwin has been telling a very different story.
Last week, Baldwin posted a video to Instagram in which he claimed to be cooperating with authorities. But just today, authorities denied that was the case, saying that the actor has yet to comply with a search warrant issued nearly a month ago requiring him to hand over his phone to investigators.
It’s not the first time that Baldwin has seemed to be at odds with the Santa Fe Sheriff’s office. In December, the district attorney handling the case was apparently unhappy with Baldwin’s decision to sit down with George Stephanopoulos to give his first public interview since Hutchins’ October 21, 2021 death.
Being a successful actor in Hollywood might seem like it’s all VIP treatment and red-carpet events, but it takes more than just talent to find that level of fame. It also takes serious grit and determination and, on occasion, the ability to survive what could have been a very gruesome bear attack. Just ask Neve Campbell.
Campbell, who first rose to fame in her early twenties as the eldest daughter on the hit Fox drama Party of Five, is currently making the rounds to promote the latest entry in the meta-horror Scream franchise. Titled simply Scream, the movie marks her fifth outing as Sidney Prescott, who we first met back in 1996 as a high schooler who had a habit of attracting serial killers.
While Campbell has logged plenty of screen time as a scream queen, it was an earlier project that could have turned into a real-life horror movie. As Variety reports, Campbell sat down with Kelly Clarkson earlier this week to discuss her new movie, when talked turned to a project she worked on when she was 17 years old, where she and a bear she was acting opposite didn’t quite hit it off.
“I was playing this role where she’s ‘one with the animals’ and there was a scene where I was getting chased by a bear,” Campbell explained. “They brought this bear on set and they first gave me this big bottle of Coke to feed it. [Then] they said, ‘Dip your hand in honey and just run. And when you get to the tree over there, turn your hand out and feed the bear.’”
Ever the dutiful actor, Campbell did as she was instructed. “I dipped my hand in honey and I run to this rock, and I turn around and I put my hand out and the bear is not slowing down and he’s not coming for my hand,” Campbell explained. “He grabs me by the leg and he pulls me through the forest. My mother was visiting set and she’s screaming. The whole crew is frozen because nobody can believe what’s happening. All I can think to say is, ‘He’s biting me,’ like it’s not obvious.”
It took a bear wrangler throwing rocks at her ursine co-star to pull the bear’s attention away from Campbell, who escaped relatively unscathed. Looking back on the event today, Campbell sees it all as kind of silly. “We get asked to do silly things,” she said.
You can watch the full segment above. Scream arrives in theaters on January 14, 2022.
If you’re ever searching for a new doctor, you might want to find out the names of Glenn Beck’s physicians—and avoid them at all costs. As The Independent reports, the former Fox News host, and proud anti-vaxxer, is currently in the midst of his second battle with COVID… and it doesn’t sound like things are going so well.
On Wednesday, Beck called into fellow right-wing host Mark Levin’s radio show and, when asked how he was doing, replied that “despite having COVID and seeing the destruction of our country, I’m doing great.” [insert record scratch]
In between throat clears, Beck confirmed that he was dealing with his second go-around with COVID. “It’s a lighter case, but it’s now started to go into my lungs today, and a little disturbing,” Beck said, but assured Levin that “I’m on all the medications and treatments and everything else, so we’ll see. It’s all good.”
When Levin, clearly surprised by this development, pressed about what exactly what “all the medications” meant, Beck—sounding like a Donald Trump clone (or at least a 2020 Donald Trump clone)—read off a laundry list of meds, including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin. In other words, an anti-malaria drug and a non-FDA-approved paste given to horses to rid them of parasitic worms. But Beck seems convinced that this is the cocktail that’ll cure him. “My doctors are hitting it really hard,” he said of their recommended regimen.
Beck has been dealing with the virus for about a week now and didn’t seem totally sure whether he was actually feeling any better. “I’m not going downhill,” he said. “I mean, I think I’m feeling better. It’s just getting into my lungs … you will want to avoid that.” (No sh*t, Sherlock.)
Of course, Beck has only himself to blame for his second bout with COVID—not because he refuses to get vaccinated but, as he says, because he’s a “fatty-fat-fatso.” Yes, that must be it.
