Endorsing Katie Porter, the Minivan Mom
from Eric Swalwell, The Great Layoff, & We Endorse Katie Porter | The Tim Dillon Show #492 · #492
5 min
Tim jokingly announces the show's first-ever political endorsement of Katie Porter for California governor, imagining her as an angry, occasionally self-soiling minivan mom, contrasted with smooth Gavin Newsom.
- Tim establishes the candidate they're backing: Katie Porter, the angry mom from Orange County who represents a departure from Newsom's slick style.
- The show is endorsing Katie Porter because a Democrat will definitely win California, and they'd rather it be her than Spencer Pratt.
- Tim describes what they need: a "Hamburger Helper abusive mom" who can bring governance to heel with genuine anger.
- Katie Porter is a mom from Orange County, and Tim explains why her angry energy is what the state needs instead of Newsom's suave approach.
- Tim jokes about needing a governor who has minor digestive accidents after drinking and eating burritos, then screams about it into the phone at her assistant.
- Extended bit: the governor scenario where she angrily announces to her confused assistant "I shit myself," there's silence, and the assistant responds "Understood."
- Katie Porter appears on camera and looks healthy, which Tim celebrates because she had previously almost killed her assistant during a campaign event.
- Katie's opening campaign message is "It's time for women to lead"—Tim notes this is her first stated policy and seems disconnected from actual state issues.
