Topic: 3m Masks

In Melbourne, Australia, COVID-positive patients were filmed being moved between quarantine hotels with garbage bags over their heads, which the hosts interpret as a symbolic degradation of citizens. A consumer report on identifying fake 3M masks is mocked for suggesting that buyers look for a "NIOSH" stamp, as counterfeiters would likely print the stamp as well.

As smoke from the wildfires continues to affect air quality in California, residents have begun wearing high-end gas masks and N95 filters in public. The hosts mock tech figures like Jason Calacanis for their elaborate gear and note that the masks make it nearly impossible for people to communicate at grocery store checkouts.
