-Hello, everyone, and welcome to the attic again.

Adverbs of degree

We just got back from a week-long hiatus.

Transition words & phrases

Although let's be honest, "back" isn't quite the right word,

quietly performing "Closer Looks" to myself

about how every time I kill a wasp in the attic,

I got so bored, I started parting my hair

I also did some drinking alone, which is depressing.

But a year ago, I was drinking with Rihanna,

And look, I know this is a long shot, but, Rihanna,

if you're on Zoom, my meeting I.D. is 917-112-15

and the password is "Work work work work work work from home."

Anyway, let's just get into it without a segue.

The president suggested the coronavirus could be cured

with disinfectants, then said he was joking,

then threatened to stop doing press briefings altogether,

because he loves cameras more than wasps love my attic.

I got to be honest, when we went on hiatus a week ago,

I'd be talking about the president suggesting

you could use disinfectants and powerful lights

to cure coronavirus, but then again that's on me.

We should all know by now Trump will be more outlandish

with each passing week because that's his nature.

It's like the frog and the scorpion fable.

I won't go through the whole thing, but at the end,

the scorpion stings the frog, and as they sink

to their deaths, the frog says, "Why would you sting me?"

[As Trump] "Some people are saying scorpion venom

is an effective treatment for the coronavirus.

I'm not a doctor, but I have -- you know, I have heard that,

When Trump won in 2016, I should have called up

"Hey, could I get a few more shirts to put in my attic

in case I ever have to do the show up there?"

I mean, I can't imagine it will be for more than a week."

but if it's more than a week, you'll have to rotate shirts,"

And I'd say, "Guys, it's not gonna be more than a week."

Long story short, this shirt has now been on camera

Anyway, after the president said that psychotic thing

he cycled through his usual series of obviously BS excuses,

starting with the classic, "I was just joking,"

because if there's one thing people want from leadership

-I was asking a question sarcastically to reporters

But I was asking a sarcastic -- and a very sarcastic question

-But you were asking your medical experts to look into it.

-You have two renowned scientists working with you.

Why are you pitching ideas like a 6th-century Druid?

"Maybe the sun can help us. Have we thought about sun?"

More often than not, Trump's ideas for solutions

He's like a kid who forgot it was show-and-tell.

"While I appreciate everything my classmates

have brought in today, I would like you to direct your eyes

Did you forget it was show-and-tell day?"
