Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
2 minTim riffs on wanting Cynthia Nixon to win as governor so he could be her Tammany Hall-style henchman, then pivots into mocking a Food Network host's (implied Ina Garten-style) drunken-seeming cooking show and her odd cocktail recipes.
- 2:34Tim pitched the idea of working as henchmen for Cynthia Nixon if she became governor, wearing long coats like Tammany Hall operatives.
- 2:52He imagined the henchmen lifestyle: getting nice meats from a butcher and walking around following Nixon.
- 3:24Ina Garten hosted a Food Network show called Mostly Homemade where she basically doctored prepared foods with olive oil and other minor additions.
- 3:51Tim describes seeing Garten make a cocktail with vodka and New England clam chowder, claiming he is not exaggerating.
- 4:04The show's actual title should have been Mostly Hammered since Garten appeared drunk the entire time.
- 4:19Tim dismisses both Nixon and Garten as part of a New York City political power couple type that requires a certain kind of person to appreciate.
