Tim and Krysta discuss Boris Johnson's resignation over lockdown parties and an affair-related job favor, arguing old-school political corruption was more tolerable when hidden, segueing into Ghislaine Maxwell's sentencing versus R. Kelly's.
- Boris Johnson stepped down after throwing a party during COVID, but Tim says he'd vote for a leader who did that.
- Johnson tried to get a job for a woman he had an affair with—Tim treats this as unremarkable politician behavior.
- Politicians need to have a little fun, but it should stop short of child abuse on private islands.
- Ghislaine Maxwell is in jail in New York with no visitor access.
- A woman at a barbecue complained that Maxwell got 20 years while R. Kelly got 30, calling it racist.
- Tim attributes R. Kelly's longer sentence to him being Black, not to degree of involvement.
- Maxwell's full culpability can't be proven publicly because it would implicate powerful people with too much money.
- Probably 1,000 celebrities are on the Epstein list, but only a few are proven, and the full list will never be released.
