Summary
Kat Timpf returns to talk about her new book I Used To Like You Until…: (How Binary Thinking Divides Us). She and Bridget discuss her career trajectory, how she wound up on Fox News, getting into stand-up comedy, her marriage and impending motherhood. They cover how truly strange pregnancy is, the assumption that something will always go wrong, the upcoming election, and the absurdity of how politics makes us fight with people we actually know on behalf of people who don’t know we exist. They also talk education, the war on small business and the middle class, the impact of social media culture, gender issues in schools, and the amazing support they receive from their husbands.
