Tim reads the real announcement of Archewell's animated series 'Pearl' about a girl inspired by historical women, and riffs on how absurd the concept is given Meghan's own thin résumé.
- Tim adopts a new philosophy of believing and loving everyone, citing his age and health anxieties post-COVID as his reasoning.
- He defends Meghan Markle and Prince Harry as grifters he now respects for how far they've gotten despite being unserious and not bright.
- Stop pretending you don't like rich people—people who tweet about Marxism all day then obsess over Real Housewives can't quit the appeal.
- Netflix is making a cartoon called Pearl about a young girl inspired by influential women in history, with Meghan Markle as a producer.
- Meghan Markle parlayed a role on Suits into a royal wedding, then left the family after a couple years, claiming racism.
- The royal family probably started confusing her for the help nine times early on and ordering tea from her—they didn't become racist when she arrived.
- Tim imagines Pearl's cartoon: a young girl meets Harriet Tubman on the Underground Railroad, who then credits Meghan Markle as even braver and stronger.
