Yeah, I'm coming to you live from Santorini, Greece.
Would you like to see it?
I could show you.
But first, you probably want the simultaneous sip.
Many of you will be waking up to discover it already happened.
Normally, even when I'm traveling, I would try to hit your time zone just right.
But today I'll be out on the ocean, and so I'm going to give it to you a little bit early.
And I didn't bring my cheat sheet, but I think it goes like this.
That all you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tankard, chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid.
I like coffee.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that don't mean to the day the thing that makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous hip and it's gonna happen right now Yeah, yeah So some of you saw, I posted on social media, that Dr.
Drew is coincidentally here at the same time.
We were actually on the same flight in from Munich.
And I realized that Dr.
Drew has a trick to disguise himself in public.
He just puts on sunglasses.
Because, like me, if you would recognize me at all, you would expect to see a certain kind of spectacle on me.
And if I change it, I just look like a different person.
You know, I put a hat on to cover my bald head, put on sunglasses, good to go.
Put on a mask. I'm basically the unibarmer.
Now, would you like to talk about the news, or would you like to see the view from my front deck?
Well, the news is kind of boring, so we can cover that pretty quickly.
Let's see. Biden is still Biden.
You could do the news without even reading the news.
Oh, we'll show you the news.
I'll show you the view in a moment.
So I guess Putin made a good play.
So Putin said, I guess Biden asked him to do something about the hackers.
And Putin said, that'd be a great idea.
Why don't we agree to trade hackers?
You know, we'll give you the hackers we catch that are hacking you.
You give us the hackers that you caught hacking us, and we'll just trade.
And I'm thinking to myself, damn it, Putin, that was pretty clever, because he knows that's not going to happen, but he also got the message out that he's getting hacked.
Whether that's true or not, we kind of assume it is.
There's some story of a nuclear leak at a Chinese power plant.
What you might not know, and you have to do a fact check on this because I don't think I know it either, I don't think a leak in one of the more modern versions of a nuclear plant, I don't think a leak is like a meltdown.
I think you have to have the old technology plants to have a meltdown.
I don't know if they have any. So I wouldn't assume automatically that that's some kind of a meltdown coming.
Could be just a nuisance, but a big one.
So I'm gonna show you the view here in a minute.
Come with me. Now, let's see, in theory I could reverse this, right?
Yeah. There we go.
Follow me. So, these are some of the neighboring units.
Here's the view of the sea.
And there's a bit of a story about this part over here.
So where you see this Where you see there's kind of a bay here.
It looks like a bay. That used to be solid ground apparently until at least within recorded history.
I forget when. But there was some kind of earthquake or volcano or something that all that dropped into the sea and some people say that was Atlantis.
I don't think I buy that but sounds good.
So the villa that we're in comes with its own little pool And the people who designed this are the worst hotel designers of all time.
Because look at how they forgot to add windows.
This is the actual hotel unit.
Now, look at the complete lack of windows.
And even when they're uncovered, they're tiny.
And from where they are set back, none of the windows of the hotel can see any of this.
Dumb motherfuckers.
It was absolutely a crime.
It was like a hotel crime that they didn't give a view internally.
And worse yet, they add these little walls.
Because I guess this is traditional architecture.
So about half of your view, if you're sitting, for example, you know, if you sit over there, about half of your view is obscured by the fucking wall.
And this is a new place.
You know, this was recently built in the last few years.
So they had all that time to think about it.
They still got it that wrong.
It's actually laughably poorly designed, to the point where I'm not sure we're actually going to even stay the entire trip.
The rooms themselves are these tiny little claustrophobic, basically it's like a prison cell.
It's like a prison cell with better amenities, but it sure is a nice location.
So, I'll be out in that water in about an hour.
So, that's what it looks like.
I've got to get ready to go do something, but I didn't want to miss the simultaneous sip one more time, even though this one's early.
