That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?
It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?
But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.
I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.
I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.
Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”

Took me a fucking while
In North America.
I think your sense of politics on a national level, is massively dirtied by your southern neighbour.
The left isn't ineffective. Most people definitely know and favour leftist policies if you go ask them. Only some weird right wingers wouldn't agree that it's the government's job to help it's people.
So because there's no good talking points on the right, the current propaganda is "don't even support the left, they won't achieve shit". As is sowing apathy. Apathy is the single greatest tool an oppressor could wield. When people don't believe change is possible, no-one does anything about it. "why bother" they say "it won't work anyway".
You can't know until you try. I know I'm too guilty of this as well. But realising something and being able to not be affected by it are two different things.
