“I preserve forgetting about that clip. Not forgetting. I simply preserve erasing it from my thoughts. Each time we play that clip, I drink sufficient scotch to kill the mind cells accountable for storing that reminiscence,” Meyers mentioned.
He pulled out a bottle, poured himself a shot and downed it.
“The worst factor about that clip is what it says in regards to the affect of cash in our politics,” he mentioned. “The second worst factor, and it’s a really shut second, is the way in which he jumps.”
Later within the phase, Musk’s leaping second got here up once more in passing.
“Oh, fuck!” Meyers mentioned, pulling out the bottle of scotch once more.
“It’s my fault, I shouldn’t have introduced it up,” he mentioned as he took one other shot.
