Summary
Nigeria has the rare political scandal that would make a fun Disney movie where a candidate turned out to be a literal child. An immature congressman? Can’t have that. Then, we get into the Texas campaign for the U.S. Senate and the tens of millions of dollars worth of mud about to be slung at James Talarico, which so far amounts to “It’s communist to eat meat veganly” and “He has a girlfriend, but queerly.” Trae has an actual job at an office for one week, so Mark is joined by Drew Morgan this week. Come hang.

How does what stuff did you keep that from us? Even in a small way, how did it not come up when we were just arguing about journalistic integrity or something? No, no. See, so background, for whatever reason, last night, Corey was talking about how I always wanted to win a Peabody Award. I was making fun of him that I remembered that I didn't personally. I worked for a show that won a Peabody Award. That was Patriot Act. but I don't even know what a Peabody Award it. Because it would be like a TV, like this year's winners are a TV show, a magazine, a dog that can do tricks. And then it's like everybody who doesn't get it. Like I don't even know what it is. It's fucking stupid. So anyway, I have no idea what 40 wants one. Not only do I have one, I'm too good for it also. |
