John Mulaney, a man who is iconically known for loving his wife, after being told by Jerry Seinfeld that his wife only thinks shes good at something
Well done OP, you’ve managed to capture the moment John’s spirit left his body
Jerry’s lucky that John is too polite to throw hands
Okay but I just went and watched this for myself and it’s WORSE
He’s. So uncomfortable. It’s obvious. I cut out the part where John kind of muttered, “That is true, isn’t it” about how all men think they’re funny, but his face is just screwed up in this ‘oh god what have i done what have i signed up for this is not good and this will probably go into my next comedy special of awkwardness’
Just watched this omg bless john bc jerry just keeps trying to do some “take my wife” bullshit and john very politely goes no, no.
proud of John for restraining himself from murdering a man on camera
What’s so horrifying about this to me is that this is literally Jerry Seinfeld trying to teach John Mulaney how to gaslight his wife.
Look at that dialogue. “She thinks she knows.” He’s trying to get Mulaney to see his wife’s expertise as instead a weird misperception. He’s coaching him to undercut his wife’s confidence in the truth and her own abilities.
And Mulaney replies exactly the right way: “She does know.” He asserts not only that she’s perceiving the world accurately, but that she is an expert at something he’s not good at.
Dudes, don’t take this shit from other dudes. Mulaney isn’t by any means perfect but he aced this. Stand for the truth. Defend women’s objectivity. Promote women’s expertise.
Doesnt his wife also work with antiques too?like. Isnt that part of her actual job?
I reblog this every time because I don’t think people understand that Anna is literally an interior designer. She makes absolutely stunning Victorian Lampshades. Which she designs.. for the interior of a home… she’s literally an interior designer. She doesn’t think she’s good at it, she knows she’s good at it because it’s her fucking job

If Canada don’t GET THE FUCK …
lmao
There are now more than 90 people dead. You can bitch and whine that’s it’s hotter where you are, but you have to understand that it’s the elderly, homeless and small children who don’t have air conditioning and are susceptible to health problems. How fucking despicable can you be to just laugh at people dying because temperatures are hotter where you are. Our infrastructure was built to withstand -30 C°, not the heat. It’s not about how Canadians are “weak”, it’s literally just shitty circumstances.
Not to mention that people who are accustomed to cold climates have a physically more difficult time coping with temperatures that their bodies aren’t used to. Also a lot of people who have never had to cope with hotter temperatures aren’t as familiar with heat exhaustion or heat stroke, don’t know how to manage the heat safely , etc!
That last point.
Denmark is currently in its hottest summer ever recorded, and the number of people I’ve talked to who have only now discovered what a heat stroke is amazes me, because I grew up in the South of France where summers are hot as fuck every year - my brother-in-law went out for a bike ride without a hat and with a half a liter of water for three hours and came back and was sick because of it.
The idea that he’d get sick because of the sun didn’t even OCCUR to him, because in his 30+ years on this green ball swirling through space, it’s never been an issue for him.
In the South of France, most cafés have mist sprayers and all shops / malls are air-conditioned. In Denmark, most cafés do NOT have mist sprayers (but heat lights!) and the shops are not always air-conditioned.
Most of the warehouses have been out of portable air-conditioners and fans on an off since May because people are hot and have no air-condition installed. The buildings are built to keep heat IN. Not out.
No air con, buildings designed to keep heat in, not even ceiling fans, no drinking fountains, windows that don’t open in buildings, and we expect people to work in those buildings, in their full uniform which has no ‘hot weather’ option - I mean what employer is going to provide short sleeves and shorts for that one week every three years where it gets above 25/80 degrees? - windows that don’t open on public transport, and often no shade while waiting for said public transport, we have heaters and insulation and draft excluders, we buy black cars and dark clothes, we buy sunscreen for our holidays in Spain, then forget where we put it, when we find it and apply it we sweat it off again because we’re not used to the heat, we walk places rather than drive and even if we drove, our cars don’t have proper air con and we don’t have covered parking, school playgrounds and public parks have no shade, people don’t have pools so kids play out all summer in the heat. We don’t have ‘American style’ large fridges or freezers with ice makers and they break down when competing with hotter than usual ambient temperature, most of us don’t even own cool boxes - or if we do it’s at the back of the shed full of spiders.
So yes, we have to be told it’s going to be hot. And we have to be warned to check our elderly neighbours and to help them take the blankets off their bed or to swap to a summer duvet, to suggest they have a cold drink instead of a pot of tea and take off their cardigan.
Because we only know people who got sunstroke on their holidays abroad.
And we have never in our lives known anyone who died from the heat.
To anybody who thinks it’s funny when people die, you can go fuck off a tall bridge.
I live in Phoenix. It’s going to be 115F/46C degrees today. This is nothing unusual for this time of year. And yet every year we lose people to the heat. I can’t imagine what super temps must be like when you are not used to it. England, Quebec, and most of Europe’s home were designed to keep heat in. Not let it out. So instead of giggling like evil children over someone else’s horror, try being a little more understanding at the very least of what they are going through.
Advice from a lifelong desert dweller to my overheated friends up north (or anywhere not accustomed to the fires of Hell):
Drink A LOT of water. And I mean A LOT. If you think you’ve had enough, you haven’t. Drink more. Or drink Gatorade, Poweraide, hell, even juice. Just avoid hot drinks and alcohol.
Feeling dehydrated? Do NOT chug anything. Chugging will make it worse, and you might throw up, which will make it worse.
If you’re dehydrated, drink ROOM TEMPERATURE or slightly cooler drinks. Do NOT drink ice cold drinks, you will get sick.
Soda isn’t great, but it’s honestly better than nothing. Please drink soda if it’s the only option, at least you’ll still get slightly hydrated.
AVOID ALCOHOL. I cannot stress this enough. Alcohol will make you much sicker, much faster.
Avoid high sodium consumption. Salt dehydrates you. If you must eat salt, drink plenty of water.
Try to invest in handheld fans and misters. Definitely get a decent sunhat. Invest in sunscreen.
Buy an extra reusable water bottle. Fill it with water and refrigerate it. When you finish one bottle, swap and repeat.
Limit your time outside as much as possible. Heatstroke is fatal and can happen fast.
Take cool showers or baths if possible. If nothing else, cool clothes on neck and forehead.
Take some time to look up homemade ice packs and make a few. They can be a great asset if you need to cool down quickly. Again, forehead and neck.
Pets need a lot of water when it’s hot. Also, consider trimming any critters with long fur so they can stay cool.
If you can, get box fans and place them in strategic locations. Place one facing your bed and drape a damp towel over it at night. Make sure it’s not dripping onto any electrical outlets or cords. The damp towel can help cool down a room.
Rest as much as possible. Drink water while resting.
Seriously, I cannot stress this enough. Drink A LOT of water. If you can’t stand water, drink a sports drink or juice. Even soda is better than nothing. Just STAY HYDRATED.
If you feel clammy, dizzy/faint, a faint but rapid pulse, or you’re sweating excessively, find shade, sit, rest, sip water. You may have heat exhaustion. Ask someone to get you a damp cloth.
If you’re hot but not sweating, have a rapid, strong heartbeat, feel nauseous or faint, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. You may have heatstroke. Heatstroke can be fatal.
Take care of yourselves. This is not a joke. Heat can be fatal.
Do NOT, however, shave double coated animals such as huskies. It will make it much worse for them.
Remember - you can get heatstroke in the shade. The past week I’ve heard a lot of people saying you are safe as long as you’re in the shade. That is expressively NOT TRUE.
Heatstroke is caused by an increasing in your core body temperature due to a higher temperature surrounding. You’re heating up like a bun in the oven. Heatstroke will occur when your temperature rises to 39-40 degrees. Yes, it happens faster sitting in direct sunlight, but it can absolutely happen in the shade and it can absolutely happen indoors. Its the surrounding temperature that’s the problem not (just) sunbeams.
Stay cool, stay hydrated.
Also, if you have access to air conditioning it can be actually not save in such hot weather. If the cond is set to too cool, you can get a cold. Once I almost got a cold in Malaysia (!) stepping from +35 street to barely +20 air conditioned store. Don’t set your cond in such way, as much as it’s tempting in such heat. Don’t seat right under the cond.
The safest way to cool down is to drink water with some electrolutes.
I can even tell you why!
When your body is suddenly exposed to cold, your blood vessels narrow and the blood flow especially in the smallest vessels decreases dramatically. The benefit is that you lose way less heat this way. The down side is that a decrease in blood flow means a decrease also in the presence of the immune system cells in your blood. Aka your body police. Less police, more chance for viruses and bacteria to nestle without getting caught. It’s why a cold is very common in this situation, your nose and mouth is full of tiny vessels. They’re also primary entry barriers for airborne bullshit! And you know what thrives in heat, especially nice, moist, body temp ones? Viruses and bacteria. Too high airco basically throws open the gates and puts a neon sign ‘COPS OUT’ up and then you walk into the heat where the buggers are thriving and lined up with baseball bats. Do yourself a favour and don’t cold (or heat) shock your body. It’s bad enough without a cold (or worse).
Isn’t that also why people get colds more often in winter? We go between nice heated indoor spaces into the freezing cold, and back again. Over and over and over.
Also to those of you who are stupid and say “It’s always hot here and we’re fine” - try coming to us northerners in winter. You will complain and get hurt cause you don’t know how to handle it. Hell, I spent a few month in southern Canada during their coldest winter in a long time, but we did fine cause we’re still used to the cold (even if a milder version). Our bodies know what to do. I had a friend there who came from Australia. She got frostbite on her cheeks just walking across campus. She knew what to do about the cold cause I told her (and dad told me cause he grew up in the very very north), but her skin could still not handle it as well as mine. And I know, that would I visit her in Australia I would be a mess doing the exact same thing that she does, cause my body isn’t used to it.
Yesterday I came back from a three week vacation in California. I’m kinda happy about that cause I’ve now experienced worse heat than what we have, and recently (I’ve worked in the Jordanian desert before, but you quickly forget the actual feeling). But just being in my apartment with no fan whatsoever quickly makes it clear how different it is here. This heat is supposed to last two days max, not weeks. This is not supposed to happen. We are not prepared. Hell, my friend had a baby last week. The hospital doesn’t have AC. All last week was over 30°. In a hospital. Giving birth. With no air condition.
