Memes: 

  • The "This is Fine" Meme - "So meme that I chose is the meme of this dog sitting at a table with his coffee, just kind of casually sitting there and then behind him is engulfed in flames, right? And so that's the one side of things. And he's just kind of.  And for those of you who might not be able to see or listening to the podcast, I just made it kind of like a aloof face facial expression, I would say. And then the other side is a little smiling dog that says with the caption bubble, this is fine."
