historically through the history of journalism,
espionage, whatever, anything that requires,
jobs that require high levels of human interfacing
will always have sexual intrigue embedded in them
because that's a way that people,
it's just like, it is, it's just like very human.
Yeah, and the funniest detail about this whole scandal.
To neuter that aspect and pretend that journalists
should have this kind of like purely professional demeanor
that no one can react to.
Yeah, electronic consent form mindset.
No, of course you should be able to,
it's like when we have people on this show
and it's like they're disarmed by the fact that we're women
and they say stuff they wouldn't say,
we're not like, you know, necessarily't say, or they're not necessarily.
Yeah, when I was reading that part
about how she giggles in a disarming way
and asks fun and flirty questions.
Sorry for trying to put someone at ease.
And it doesn't need to be like calculating a sinister.
Make them horny and confused.
The funniest detail about this
is how brainwashed everyone has been by Me Too.
Acting like this hasn't been the normative functional standard
in journalism and politics from time immemorial.
Yeah. It's not really deviant about it.
It's not particularly noble.
It's not particularly ideal,
but it is just the reality and the truth.
Yeah, it's like a social sphere.
Yeah.
So the particular-
A desperate, hungry loser
who wanna feel something, anything.
Whose bodies and minds are coming into play
will inevitably utilize the tools at their disposal to gain information to advance within this
industry. That's, you know, pretty
like prostitute ask both politicians and journalists.
And you know, Nazi has like the woman advantage.
Sure. But he's got the Kennedy card. The Kennedy card does not decline.
I know.
That's a good thing.
That's good forever.
And especially, I mean,
it was using the anniversary of Carolyn Bissette
in Dervier Jr.
And so I was seeing-
How do you think she got that man?
Through her charms.
Yeah.
You know, she wasn't like from the same pedigree
as of him at all.
She's like from Connecticut,
but not like aristocratic in the same way that he was,
not Camelot, but she like worked at Calvin Klein.
That's funny that we're calling a bunch
of Irish Catholics aristocratic,
because that is,
the Kennedys are really the closest thing we have in America
to like a natural aristocracy.
But she was like a cool,
she was a socialite shirt for Calvin Klein in the 90s,
and she just had incredible like pull.
Yeah, and swag.
Yeah, and it's just awesome, yeah.
I love all like the paparazziazzi like candids of her yelling at him
Fighting him ripping her engagement ring off and throwing it at her
And then there's one where he's sitting on the curb like, you know
Like his face like burying his hands and she's like standing over him
And then there's a photo shortly after them like hugging and crying and she's like smoking a cigarette
So yeah, like that's so cool. I'm gonna actually I'm trying to quit but I'm gonna smoke a cigarette I've been doing really
you're doing great yeah we're at an hour mark so we can take oh yeah we can talk about I'm gonna
pee and then we can talk about Ta-Nehisi. Are we still recording? Yeah I didn't pause it by like children's clothing at the hour mark.
So Ta-Nehisi Coates is back.
He's back. He's got a new book.
I this is super racist.
Had him confused with the anti-racist baby guy.
Ibram Kendi. Yeah, Ibram X. Kendi.
Because they both had kind of like African names and I
never don't engage with their projects.
