[Eddie Holmes] It's compelling. Apparently, there was also a 14% increase in the sale of wet wipes and toilet duck. [2020-06-08 20:25:49] [Kristian Andersen] Holy shit. [2020-06-08 20:26:21] [Eddie Holmes] :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: [2020-06-08 20:27:45] [Kristian Andersen] I can't _*possibly*_ think of anything else that could explain an increase in wet wipes and toilet ducks - _obviously_ this must have been COVID. THERE JUST AREN'T ANY OTHER EXPLANATIONS WHATSOEVER. NONE! COVID! THEY LIED! John Brownstein - I just lost some respect for the guy. [2020-06-08 20:42:01] [Eddie Holmes] I was joking about the wet wipes and toilet duck. Still BS though.

[2020-06-08 22:36:20] [Eddie Holmes] Plenty of reasons why traffic could have increased: perhaps they had a special offer at the wet market?

[2020-06-09 07:57:11] [Robert Garry] Poor Laurie - flustered by camera problems. Will there be an on-air correction?
