Scot M. on Steering Clear of Controversy in Sobriety
It's unacceptable to me and I can't listen to it, but very little anymore, because of the fact that I'm very aware, I'm very respectable of our virus and what's going on, and I'm not one to run around licking doorknobs and sharing everything I do, what's asked of me with my mask and hand sanitizer and keeping separation in space.
