Tim discusses Kathy Griffin's publicized Twitter wedding and feud with Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, arguing Bravo's trash reality TV culture helped enable Trump's rise more than anyone gives it credit for.
- Tim's joke about having brain damage as a conversational trump card: if you're mad at him, his brain is malfunctioning.
- You have to laugh at things or you'll go crazy; protecting friends and family while pursuing justice is the balance.
- Tim worries they'll rehabilitate Ghislaine Maxwell's image in a few years, the way they've already started on Epstein.
- Kathy Griffin got married on Twitter with Lily Tomlin officiating—she has zero interest in private time.
- Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper abandoned Kathy Griffin after the Trump head photo, but they're corporate figures who film people's breakdowns on Real Housewives.
- Tim argues Andy Cohen and Bravo are as responsible for Trump's rise as anyone—they legitimized trainwreck reality and fake drama.
- Watching the kids on those shows while their parents destroy themselves on camera is probably not good for them.
- People got mad at Andy Cohen saying fuck on CNN at midnight, but the President made period jokes about Megyn Kelly on live debate.
- New Year's programming should be a three-minute experience: turn on before the ball, turn off right after.
- Most parents sit their kids in front of a TV to check in twice, and by eighteen it's done—giving kids an iPad to play while depressed is the modern version.
- Tim's hot take on therapy is about to come.
