He's a Rat! | Ep 320 | Bad Friends

Bobby Lee visited an eye doctor who used advanced machinery, revealing his eyesight would be fine until his 80s, but he needed glasses for long-distance vision. He was amazed by the clarity glasses provided, seeing trees across the street for the first time.

Bobby recounts, "He goes, 'Walk outside with me.' So he was Asian, by the way. ... And he put these glasses on me. I go, those are trees. ... Like literally, I saw nothing. And he put the glasses on. This is across the street. I saw trees."

Andrew Santino highlights that Koreans are known for strong teeth due to a culture of meticulous oral hygiene, specifically the '333 rule': brushing three times a day for three minutes each, and within three minutes of eating.

Andrew states, "Many Koreans have strong, healthy teeth. A culture of meticulous oral hygiene. Prevalent 333 rule. Brushing three times a day. Told you. Three minutes each."

The Hantavirus is primarily contracted by inhaling particles from rat droppings and urine, with a 30-40% mortality rate and a 21-40 day incubation period. A rare Andes strain is human-to-human transmissible, but still difficult to contract.

Bobby explains, "Most of the strains you get are it from rats. ... The particles go up by the air. I sniff it. You can get it mostly that way. ... Now there's one called the andis strain which is the one that's on the cruise ship which is human to human."

The hosts comically suggest that 'white people cruises' or 'adventurism cruises' (e.g., exploring caves, bird watching in remote areas) are more likely to expose individuals to novel viruses like Hantavirus due to their adventurous nature, contrasting with more 'ethnic' decision-making.

Bobby describes "adventurism cruises. White cruises. ... I need to get go to go to the top of that mountain. ... I'll go deeper into the cave. You know the ones that go in the crevices. ... I GO, 'CUZ BLACK PEOPLE DON'T DO THAT.'"

Andrew Santino posits that a recession is a necessary economic cycle, allowing the economy to 'go down to go back up,' preventing a deeper depression. He mentions a potential AI bubble pop as a trigger.

Andrew states, "We got to go into a recession. ... Because they have to go down to go back up. That's the only way it works. If we don't do a recession, it's then we go into depression."

Bobby Lee launches a series of comedic attacks on his tour manager, Carlos, accusing him of having 'dragon's breath,' smelling like an 'ogre' and 'troll,' and being 'overcompensating' by pre-ordering barbecue for a future tour stop. This escalates into a 'truth-telling' session about who is more difficult to work with.

Bobby yells, "your breath stinks, dude. You're [expletive] terrible... Ogre troll dragon's breath."
