Lauren and Jason Boebert's Violent Marriage, and Her Character Study
from The Vast Majority | The Tim Dillon Show #361 · #361
10 min
An extended riff imagining the Boeberts' volatile, physically abusive relationship, describing her as a mouthy, sexually aggressive 'carnival' hillbilly type destined for either great success or ruin, contrasted with the untouchable icon status of Lori Lightfoot.
- Lauren Boebert only goes to see movies she's already seen, like Beetlejuice—she's not the type for serious theater.
- Tim almost sides with her for trying, but notes she's a Waffle House employee and bartender, not a genius.
- Her and her husband beat each other up on their lawn; she's getting divorced because they can't stop attacking each other.
- Tim describes a scene where her kids are locked in their rooms terrified while she's barricaded in the bathroom and he's kicking the door.
- When Lauren Boebert gets shoved or trips down the stairs, it's not for no reason—she has a toxic mouth that brings it on herself.
- She probably insults her husband, possibly about sexual performance, which he can't tolerate.
- Tim imagines Jason Boebert gave her a look like he was going to kill her, and she realized she had to leave.
- As a character study, she's a saucy, sexy bartender who knows how to perform sexually and make men attracted to her.
- She's a spicy, dangerous woman who will provoke someone to want to kill her—she won't stop pushing until that happens.
- Boebert preaches against gay marriage and abortion while also willing to engage in casual sex and drugs after nights out.
- A woman like that is destined for something, though it's unclear if it's a great end or a bad one.
- People like her can't play the long game; they're victims of circumstances they create and either get successful or get knocked around until they disappear.
- Tim concludes with uncertainty about what will ultimately happen to her.
