and held at Rikers Island for three years without trial. This story is about a young life caught

in the middle of the justice system, listen to Generation Y on Amazon Music or wherever you get your

Welcome to I said no gifts. I'm Bridger Wienerger. I had a slightly bigger breakfast bar than usual this morning. So I'm riding on an insane high and

to compact that. I have a wonderful guest with me today. A very funny writer, comedian, just general funny person about town, Louis Bertel,

co-host of keep it. That's true. Wonderful podcast. That's worth checking out writer on Jimmy Kimmel live. He does all kinds of things. I'm the new bridge or there. You I took my place. You ever seen the movie Rebecca like you're Rebecca. I haven't seen it, but I would love to be used to sit there. He was ravishing. I am wait. So as a Rebecca, the person who's the she's taken over or does Rebecca take over Rebecca is the one who she's never in the movie. So she you are

used to live there and we're constantly hearing tales of Rebecca. Oh beautiful. And I'm like the trembling newcomer. And as you should be sitting there with best cal. Right. I know who had a baby. So I know she's been gone for a minute. No, Louis, you're just I mean, I just have to say you're terrific. You're I mean, you're on Twitter. And I think a lot of people on Twitter are commenting on current events pop culture to zero success. Sure. I would say 99.9% of people.

You're one person who does this in a very nice, tidy way. It feels to me feels like you're in a traffic chopper kind of just overlooking pop culture and just observing things for us. Oh, that's so beautiful. No, no. So people need to check that out. But you're I don't understand how you manage to keep kind of a distance from it. You don't get too emotional about it, but managed to still be very funny. Yeah. Well, I think it helps that I mean, the bottom line is it.

Pop culture is just constantly on my mind. Like I need someplace to displace thinking about it. Sure. And I also have not kidding, probably undiagnosed ADD. So I like them and just serrated tweets. Like I don't like thinking about something any longer than a tweet.

Okay. I'm like a product of this generation, et cetera. Well, and these sort of things don't usually don't require more than two or three.

Correct. It's satisfying. Like I feel like I've gotten to the complete end of a thought of a think piece, if you will.

Of course, by the time like the 200th character rolls around totally. I a recurring theme, I think that's bubbling up on this podcast is that I may be the exact opposite of this where I feel wildly out of touch with everything.

I if you're the traffic chopper pop culture person, I'm the what was that the East pond hermit. Do you remember this?

Yeah, I remember that occasionally I feel like I'm breaking into someone's house and kind of seeing what's going on and then going back into the woods.

Well, I feel like you you are slightly bewildered by everything, but I also feel like you know everything. Oh, I certainly don't know everything.

Like if I brought up a TV show, you'd be like, Oh, yeah, with that actress and that actor. Oh my god, no, I wouldn't be able to name the actresses.

That's a hundred, but I cannot I have to I truly have to sit down once I find an actor actress that I enjoy I sit down and study their name to commit it to memory.

I'm not kidding. Some of my absolute favorite celebrities and actors I will not be able to recall that.

That's my room school house. Yeah, it's like going through the vowels and consonants in the name.

Truly that. And you're I mean your memory is obviously a fully different thing. Your your capacity to hold trivia in your mind is insane.
