I respect Stephens opinion on performing in that closet, but personally that was some of his best work and im now glad other shows like Trevor confirmed they're sticking with the small set. The banter between hosts, guests, and crew flows so much better when its not interrupted by annoying audience applause breaks, etc.

[@LindaC616]

We're dating ourselves by remembering that

[@billyeveryteen7328]

I had a "mild" case not this past November but the one before. Completely lost my sense of taste and smell for like two weeks. That's the symptom that's always played for laughs, but let me tell you, it's completely demoralizing. Everything, including water, just kind of tastes faintly of blood. I didn't have major respiratory issues, I didn't need to be hospitalized, but I had no energy whatsoever. I don't know how much of it was undernourishment, because you have no hunger when everything tastes of nothing but blood, but I was very tired all the time. I'd be out of breath walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and if I took out the trash, I'd feel completely winded.

[@lorrie2878]

Interesting. I forgot about that symptom

[@melissa-wilson]

Totally true and and completely unsettling. My loss of taste and smell was awful. I tasted and smelled nothing. My taste buds didn't even water when I thought of orange juice! Everything was hot or cold mush.

[@crankycat538]

Same here I caught covid in December last year and remember being very fatigued. Lost my sense of smell and taste and all I could ‘taste’ was this weird rotting smell in my throat can’t really describe it but it was a horrible feeling

[@garyk4013]

I was hit last summer with a breakthrough infection of the delta variant. It’s now 5 months later and my senses of smell and taste are still gone. I agree, it’s completely demoralizing.

[@imnotmike]

Are you sure you had covid? Did you get tested for vampirism? Maybe you were just eating the wrong things.

[@craigvdodge]

I just wanna say that orangutan did a better job driving than many local drivers here during a recent snow storm.

[@golddee2040]

[@LindaC616]

Sure did!

[@Opus313]

"...I don't Google my own name... It's a long story." But I'm sure it's a really good one. A KZbin bonus video, perhaps...

[@exexalien]

Both times when Stephen mentions the topic of Googling oneself he looks upward in the exact same direction, so I'm thinking it might be an in-joke between him and someone in the audience.

[@FreakieFan]

@@exexalien That's a good shout. Stephen does an audience Q&A before every show, so it's most likely someone in the audience asked him if he ever Googled himself.

The orangutan is like "bruh why you recording me while I'm trying to pick up a monkey."

[@00Skyfox]

When the orangutan reached up to the handle on the canopy overhead, the show really should have dubbed in the air horn from a semi. That would have been the cherry on top. There are people in my own family who are worse drivers than that!

[@stephenwedderburn9307]

That was super cool when she did that and steered with one hand 😂, I had to watch it again. You could see her lookin out for things!

that was the sweetest cutest thing I have seen in 2022 so far. watch the full video, the orangutan drives by the tiger enclosure and the tiger runs along with him and you can see this look on the orangutans face that says he knows he does something extra that the other animals dont. so proud of himself and so happy. and how did they not make a joke about this being Trump going to play golf?
