3 minTim describes the bizarre mix of comedians and pundits on Fox's Red Eye, then describes Spokane's gloomy Twin Peaks-like atmosphere and a woodchuck he encountered in a park.
- 3:00Red Eye was a Fox News show at 3 a.m. that mixed comedians with pundits fulfilling contract hours.
- 3:37The panel would have Tim, Bonnie McFarland, John Bolton, and Katie McFarland trying to be simultaneously smart and funny.
- 3:50Comedians tried to be smart while pundits tried to be funny, which didn't work—Bolton cracking jokes while discussing Syria.
- 4:15Tim was called to fill in last minute on Red Eye in the Pacific Northwest, a part of the country he'd never visited.
- 4:41The eeriness of the area felt familiar until he realized it resembled Twin Peaks—desolate with few people around.
- 4:53Tim found a woodchuck he initially thought was a beaver, also known as a groundhog or marmot.
- 5:15Argument about whether fucking a woodchuck to death would harm it, with Tim defending the animal's potential resilience.
- 5:38Spokane was once a major meth town but lost the title when other towns took over the market.
