Penguin meat would be a delicious treat because of their fat layer

I'm going to go with a penguin. Ooh. I would eat a penguin... And you admit though, like their diet gives them a nice layer of fat. Yeah. It's probably a delicious treat. Yeah. Right.

Historically, explorers described penguin meat as tough, oily, and fishy-tasting—rarely 'delicious.'

Zoom happy hours suck and the novelty wore off in two weeks

Jay Glazer 'held the world hostage' with a dud scoop about a player getting COVID

Jay Glazer held the world hostage for 24 hours thinking he was going to break the biggest news ever and then just told us a guy [Brian Allen] got coronavirus. But he was fine. Hundreds of thousands of, I think millions, yeah, millions of people have had coronavirus and he was like, big news coming tomorrow.

The news was indeed Brian Allen of the Rams being the first NFL player to test positive, which most fans felt was over-teased by Glazer.
