Send a textMemes: Squat and Squint Meme - "The first one that I'm going to describe is of a black woman and she's in this like light pink kind of jacket blazer, these black pants, and she's outside and she's kind of leaning down and she's like what I assume out of breath, tired, just like, 'Oh, my gosh, what, what, what am I doing?'"Drew Scanlon Reaction Meme / White Man Blinking Meme - "The second meme is of this white guy. And he's, I'm guessing maybe sitting, but he does this kind of blink thing. And I feel like I use that a lot when someone says something or does something that I'm like, 'Really, is that actually happening? Is this actually what we're doing?'"Follow us on Instagram @memesmetaphorsandmagic to view the meme(s) for this episode.
