Separating the wheat from the chaff? Honestly, it was some of the least subtle sarcasm I’ve ever peddled.

Eh, it’s a subtle distinction, satire vs. sarcasm. Could go either way. Agreed that it was obvious.

Ooof. You’ve got to call IT, and those bastidges don’t speak English, and also they don’t answer the phone. And they all quit weeks ago.

Producer 1: Stop using legal terms around Sarah, she doesn’t know what they mean and she keeps dropping them in at random!

Yeah, “celebrity doctor” should be an oxymoron. Once they gain a modicum of fame, they’ll say anything to keep it.
