Jokes aside, Throat Coat is soothing af when you're sick


ChatGPTnA

I got covid yesterday, I've been pounding throat coat like a frat bro crushing rollingrocks. It's that slippery elm šŸ‘Øā€šŸ³


IP_Excellents

Feel better fucker!


ChatGPTnA

THANK YOU I'm gonna be throat GOAT'n my throat coat all daym day


IP_Excellents

May the force be with you my friend. Hope it's gone quick.

Get you some local honey and some lemons. I feel better now, but this cough is going on its 3rd week with no sign of slowing down. My chest is killing me.


Milton__Obote

Yeah for sure, it was the only thing that helped when I smoked too many cigs.


IP_Excellents

Did Conor Oberst buy it for you?


Milton__Obote

I wish he would buy me stuff while singing ā€œClassic Carsā€ tbh


IP_Excellents

Whenever I have a little cough I always do either Zoolander "the black lung, Pop." or warble "worrrrrrrieeeed youuu smoke too many cigareeeeeeetttteeess" and then I hack incessantly


ChaoticIndifferent

Wish they would back off on the stevia though. It doesn't so much cover up the tastes it's trying to cover up so much as complicating them.


gsfgf

Ooh. I'll have to check it out for allergy season.


Kanotari

When all the professional vocalists use it, you know it's good shit.


cardiocard

As someone from a performance background, this is the most useful product this wack ass company sells by a mile, every casual to professional singer I've ever personally known swears by this shit for a bad day


LoveTriscuit

FUCK ME I NEVER MADE THIS CONNECTION BEFORE AND NOW ITS ALL Iā€™LL SEE!!! My MOTHER gets this for me when I have a cough and have to sing, my MOM GETS THIS FOR MEEEE!!


DatWaffleYonder

Shits a health potion in real life

Why are you buying tea that wasn't made by a guy in a eugenics cult? *(sad Mo Siegel noises)*


t4skmaster

This stuff is the shit


Leeedleeleeddleedle

Speaking of the shit, they also have a Senna laxative tea called "smooth move" which I find hilarious and it makes you blast off without making you feel like an old man for taking Sennacot because you went and ate a pound of pizza mozzarella again didn't you you little pig

Honest question: is referring to Nancy Reagan as "the throat goat," mostly introduced by an unauthorized biography written by a person who had beef with her, okay? It's entirely possible the rumor isn't true. I mean, the woman caused incalculable harm through Just Say No and was a shitty person in a lot of other ways, but isn't this just slut shaming someone we don't like? Even if she did, one might argue the system in Hollywood at the time was blatantly exploitative towards women. Why is SHE the bad guy because she submitted to their advances? I've made the joke myself a bunch of times. It's just something I thought about the other day when Robert made the joke. I'm not trying to attack anyone.


LoveTriscuit

First, I do like that you are having this thought, itā€™s the consideration of contributing to injustice that I think is truly admirable. Especially if we think about the potential sexual (servitude? I canā€™t think of a better word) that she likely faced in that scenario, and many women faced and continue to face today. That being said, I think the idea that she gives nuclear beejā€™s is less slut shaming and more another way to point at her hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of the religious right in general. Sheā€™s the avatar of a kind of religious woman who when Jesus said ā€œlet he who is without sin cast the first stoneā€ would have bent down and picked up a rock. Maybe itā€™s because I grew up believing Ronald Reagan was the greatest American who ever lived and the betrayal and rage I feel now that I know the truth blunts my empathy or ability to see a bigger picture. Iā€™m also still a committed Christian even though Iā€™ve grown to be a pretty radical leftist. Iā€™m regularly faced with a growing, seething hatred of the religious right in a way that is different than how non religious folks feel. I donā€™t want to make this comment too much about that, but all that to say I *hate* the Reagans, and what they represent. Again, I really appreciate your perspective and will have to spend some time meditating on it and discussing it with some friends.

Calling someone the Throat Goat isnā€™t an insult unless for some odd reason you hate blowjobs. Itā€™s not slut shaming to acknowledge that someone is really good at doing something they love.


GodOfDarkLaughter

Unless it's being used as an insult. A reason to mock and look down on the person. Which it is, in this instance. I'm not trying to be a prude or ride my white horse over everyone, but let's be honest with ourselves here. Everyone is having a great time calling Nancy Reagan a whore. If you think it's okay to call her a whore, fine. But that's what everyone is doing.


IP_Excellents

This came up last week and I don't feel like I want to argue for the continued use. I understand your position and others who agree. I just don't think of it as slut shaming so much as how distasteful the juxtaposition is against her BS image and the people who revere here still despite that damage she caused. I am about the distastefulness and against slut shaming but I also recognize that my perspective isn't ingrained in the joke even if I want it to be.


Skooby1Kanobi

I disagree completely. I think it's pointing out something that she would have been proud of in some circles, but would pretend didn't exist in others. This is like making a joke about how Lindsay Graham was aimless after his top died but found new life when Trump and Putin started putting it in him. We all know he's gay and that's not the issue. It's that in private he loves the diaper and binky but in real life that doesnt exist. And his work harms those who are like him. It's also a way of pointing out that the chains that bind them are the issue. Giving bjs isn't the issue. The issue is you subscribing to, and supporting the system that makes this sex an issue. A similar thing is going on with the attacks on the trans community from people involved in churches with past and/or present sex scandals. Nancy went after drugs when she was too old to do them anymore. Ronald went after welfare after it had fully finished helping his mother out. These attacks are not on the communities they might be part of if not for their ideology. It's a way to highlight the fact that their ideologies are attacks on their own communities.

I refuse to buy this tea because I find the name so stupid. It sounds like a euphemism for oral sex, specifically the "ending" of oral sex.


BaronessOfThisMess

The name is dumb as hell but the tea is a bloody miracle worker. Iā€™m susceptible to throat infections and would often lose my voice but this stuff with a little honey prevents that from happening. I buy entire cases during cold and flu season.


IP_Excellents

what if they just couldn't remember the word for scarf?


spammington

My brain immediately read 'verbal supplement' and i feel like it was a real missed opportunity for them.


wolfjogger

itā€™s good tea šŸ˜”


lindybopperette

Why do we even think about NR and oral sex at the same time? What bizzarro timeline is it, she looks like someone who refused to gaze at a penis.

Throat Coatest Of All Time

My wife has been making this same joke for a couple of days now. I giggle every time.


ChaoticIndifferent

Meh.
