Do you guys see Usher? Yeah. I

0:02

thought Usher was great. Take

0:05

off your shirt and put on 120 million people. I mean.

0:07

That's cool. Wow. That's cool. He's 45. I

0:11

went through and just was like, let's check everybody's ages. Let's

0:13

just find out what we're working with here. Usher 45, Alicia

0:15

Keys 43, his little John. I

0:21

think he was like, he's in his 50s. I

0:25

was like, this is what I want. Oh

0:27

yeah, we can get you up there. Absolutely. What

0:30

I want to see for the record, what I want

0:32

to see. You want to do a live podcast

0:34

halftime show? Just the hot. Yeah, that's what I

0:37

want. Yeah, that's what I want. It's so funny. It's like

0:39

Usher can pull off taking off a shirt. I can't pull

0:41

off having clothes on. And

0:54

we're back. Welcome.

0:59

Welcome. Welcome. Hey, first of all, before we even

1:01

get to the show, if

1:04

you're watching this on YouTube, I'm

1:06

aware that there are people that are confused by the

1:08

fact that I'm at the couch, producers

1:10

and writers are at the table. If

1:13

you have another arrangement of bodies,

1:16

pitch it. Yeah, tell us how you want our bodies. I'm

1:20

here with Sarah, Brian, Hallie. Hi.

1:23

Hi. You could lay across it like a grandpa. Kendra's

1:27

on assignment. We don't know

1:29

where. We definitely don't know. She won't tell us. No,

1:32

she. I'm

1:34

not that curious. I'm in my business. Let's

1:37

get into it one a weekday. Nice.

1:41

A super back supporting R.F.K. Jr.'s presidential bid

1:43

spent $7 million to run a Super Bowl

1:45

ad that closely resembled an ad for John

1:47

F. Kennedy's campaign during his 1960 run, including

1:51

its famous jingle. Kennedy,

1:57

Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy. Of

2:04

course, one big difference between JFK and R.F.K. Jr.

2:06

is that JFK had a brain, and we know

2:08

that for a fact. We've seen it. It

2:11

started out hot this week. I

2:13

like that. It's a great joke, but to start

2:15

off with it. No, no, it's a tough way in for

2:17

sure. We were talking about this before

2:19

the show that, like, man, that's

2:21

what politics used to be. You just say

2:24

your name over and over again with pictures of yourself? I didn't

2:26

invite it. I'm inviting them. They shouldn't make it, and I'd

2:28

like that. But I do think it was a great joke. We

2:30

really need to stress the point, like, that back

2:32

then he was the hottest man that a lot of people

2:34

had ever seen. Like, people thought they're

2:36

like, good lord, men can look like that? He's got

2:39

my vote. It's

2:41

like the fact that you're saying that's not the case for Joe Biden? Oh,

2:45

no, for me, absolutely. But

2:47

it's so hard. They're all so hot. That's my problem. Kennedy

2:50

family members, including Bobby Shriver, publicly objected

2:52

to the ad and R.F.K. Jr. apologized,

2:55

saying, Bobby, I'm so sorry if that

2:57

advertisement caused you pain. The ad was

2:59

created and aired by the American Value

3:02

Super PAC without any involvement or approvals

3:04

from my campaign. Federal rules prohibit Super

3:06

PAC from consulting with me or my

3:09

staff. I send you and your family

3:11

my sincerest apologies. God bless

3:14

you. One problem at

3:16

the time of this recording, the offending

3:18

ad is still R.F.K. Jr's

3:20

pinned tweet on the X. Hey,

3:23

I had no involvement or approval in this, but

3:25

to be clear, I love it and think it

3:27

rocks. It's also like I'm sorry to your family

3:29

and it's also my family. Sorry to my family

3:31

also. I

3:36

want to make sure everyone has seen this thing that

3:38

I'm apologizing for. Just because the apology makes sense. I

3:40

want to make sure everyone's seen it. Seven

3:43

million dollars. Seven

3:46

million dollars. What

3:48

is the 30 second ad on the show cost? It's

3:50

not seven million dollars. Shoot. You could

3:53

buy that bookstore in Pasadena for less than that. That's

3:56

true. Six million. So there's a bookstore

3:58

in Pasadena that's for six million. There

4:00

is wow think about the difference

4:02

in the value of a bookshop that exists for

4:05

well more than 30 Seconds are in the community

4:07

and still the book those books come with it.

4:09

Mm-hmm. I assume they do they mark I What

4:13

I reached out you reached out about buying a

4:15

bookstore in Pasadena. Yeah, join us in the email

4:18

Okay, maybe later. Yeah right now Go

4:21

fund me so we can buy this bookstore. Oh, yeah.

4:23

What are we doing? Oh wait, sorry this Anyway

4:30

speaking of crackpots appealing to right-wingers nostalgic for

4:32

the Cold War at a rally in South

4:34

Carolina on Saturday Donald Trump said that he

4:36

would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell

4:38

they want to a NATO ally that hadn't

4:40

spent enough on Defense you didn't

4:42

pay your delinquent You

4:44

said yes, let's say that happened. No, I

4:46

would not protect you In fact, I would

4:48

encourage them to do whatever the hell they

4:51

want You got a pain Trump

4:53

talks about America's allies like someone who's been in

4:55

therapy and become a worse person as a result

4:58

Actually don't owe my friends anything. Oh, you've

5:00

been attacked by Russia. Please don't trauma dump

5:02

that on President Biden

5:04

called Trump's NATO comments appalling and dangerous saying

5:06

in a Sunday statement if my opponent Donald

5:08

Trump is able to regain power He's making

5:11

it clear as day that he will abandon

5:13

our NATO allies if Russia attacks. We're

5:15

talking about membership dues here It's like if you

5:17

missed a rent payment Donald Trump released a Wolverine

5:20

into your house or to make it more salient

5:22

to Trump's defenders a trans Wolverine If

5:25

I ever build a time machine and I will my

5:28

first stop is Philadelphia 1787

5:30

I'll bring with me a TV and a VHS

5:32

copy of air bud And we're gonna write down

5:34

every conceivable fucked up thing a president could do

5:36

so this shit never happens again And we're turning

5:39

some of those commas into periods and cutting a

5:41

few dependent clauses while we're at it couple lead

5:43

poison beer brewers Included in a side about a

5:45

malicious and now you can bring a gun to

5:47

Buffalo wildlings. That's stupid Stupid

5:49

also those as does it look like apps? Yeah get him

5:51

out of there get him out of it That's

5:54

your first stop if you have a time machine. It's probably a few things

5:56

would have to change what that's your first stop If you have a time

5:58

machine, yeah, that's what I said. That's my first Well, the nice thing

6:00

with a time machine, you just go back in time, it

6:02

doesn't really matter what you're supposed to do first. What's your

6:04

first stop, Brian? What is my first stop? Isn't that Kill

6:06

Hitler? I thought that's what you were going for. What'd you

6:08

say? Kill Hitler? So you said

6:10

Hillary. No! No, that's a

6:13

second stop. It all started by a plan. I'm with

6:15

her, but not how she wanted it. No,

6:17

I kill Hitler and then I let Hillary kill me. God,

6:19

I've sent you the plan already. No, I didn't open

6:22

it. NATO

6:24

Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also hit back at

6:26

Trump in a Sunday statement saying, "...any suggestion

6:28

that allies will not defend each other undermines

6:30

all of our security, including that of the

6:33

U.S. and puts American and European soldiers at

6:35

increased risk. It takes some real talent to

6:37

freak out this many countries at once. How

6:39

many American presidential candidates have made Montenegro shit

6:41

bricks? Just one. And it's the guy

6:43

that confuses it with Monaco." Nikki

6:48

Haley condemned Trump on Face the Nation, saying,

6:52

Don't take the side of a thug

6:54

who kills his opponents. Don't take the

6:56

side of someone who has gone in

6:58

and invaded a country and half a

7:00

million people have died or been wounded

7:03

because of Putin. Don't take the side

7:05

of someone who continues to lie. I

7:07

dealt with Russia every day. The last

7:09

thing we ever want to do is

7:11

side with Russia. Of course, she

7:14

dealt with Russia while working in the administration of the

7:16

same man she now admits is completely unfit. He

7:19

was just as unfit then as he is now, and she seemed to have no

7:21

problem with it at that time. But we can

7:23

talk about that when she's not losing to none of

7:25

the above. Other

7:27

Republicans, shockingly, haven't been so critical.

7:29

Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters, Give

7:32

me a break. I mean, it's Trump. All I can

7:34

say is while Trump was president, nobody invaded anybody, which

7:36

is not true, obviously. I think the point here is

7:39

to, in his way, get people to

7:41

pay. Republicans are a

7:43

wife at a country club dinner, perpetually one Klonopin

7:45

and two glasses of wine deep, explaining our husband

7:47

is just a little rough around the edges after

7:49

he called a middle-aged server honey while waving a

7:51

piece of steak at her, saying, does this look

7:53

medium-rare to you? Are

7:57

you watching a feud? No. It's very

7:59

that. Marco

8:01

Rubio said on CNN's State of the

8:03

Union that he has zero concern. He

8:06

doesn't talk like a traditional politician. He told

8:08

the story about how he used leverage to

8:10

get people to step up to the plate

8:13

and become more active. I have zero

8:15

concern because he's been president before. I

8:17

know exactly what he has done and

8:20

will do with the NATO alliance. He

8:22

doesn't talk like a traditional politician, you

8:24

guys. He talks like a ventriloquist

8:26

dummy the devil brought to life in the Twilight

8:29

Zone, which is why I, Marco Rubio, think he

8:31

should be president of the United States. He's

8:34

not some pointy-headed intellectual. That's

8:36

the thing about Donald Trump. I mean, I don't know if you thought

8:38

that he was. I did. But

8:41

he's not. Okay. I

8:43

don't know what you're all so worried about. He

8:45

was president for four years, and even though he

8:48

threatened to pull us out of NATO on a

8:50

near-constant basis, began a troop withdrawal from Germany, lied

8:52

about and mismanaged one of the biggest public health

8:54

emergencies in human history, celebrated when children were ripped

8:57

from their parents' arms at the border, hundreds of

8:59

whom were never reunited, tore the social fabric and

9:01

pushed the country into a state of permanent agitation

9:03

and discussion, and led his CPAP shock troops to

9:05

storm the Capitol. It was fine. Nothing that bad

9:08

happened to me. Can

9:10

I ask a question? Because I'm not a savvy political

9:12

operator. Why

9:14

would he go on TV and do – like, can't – no

9:17

one – if he didn't talk, no one would be like, what

9:19

does Marco Rubio think? So what does he gain by doing this?

9:22

I really don't know. I actually find it

9:25

confusing. I don't know what his goal was in

9:27

going on the show. I also don't know why

9:29

– I mean

9:32

I understand why he decided to endorse Donald Trump. I think

9:34

it was either just before – I think it was just

9:36

before the Iowa caucus because if you're not doing it early

9:39

or not doing late and if you're going to do it

9:41

anyway, get the credit for having done it. I don't

9:44

understand his motivation. I don't know why it's

9:46

been there, though. Yeah, I get endorsing him,

9:48

but you don't have to vocally rubber-stamp everything.

9:50

He's not keeping track. Does he want to be

9:53

vice president? I think he thinks

9:55

of himself as being on the vice presidential shortlist, so he's

9:57

putting it out there as a defender. Is

10:00

this true that the president and vice president can't

10:02

be from the same state? Yes, so it's very

10:04

true and it's pretty clear-cut and they're both from

10:06

Florida. So that's a huge problem But what is

10:08

it residency or like from I don't

10:10

I think it is like you can't be From

10:13

I think you can't be citizens of the same And

10:18

so I mean The

10:21

insurrection the right the insurrection clause is also I

10:23

think pretty straightforward Hmm. No, I

10:25

have my quabs about that. Why maybe

10:27

there's some way they think you can get around it but yeah, I think

10:29

he wants to be vice president, I also think he's Probably

10:33

on some level convinced himself of this right like

10:35

oh the media going wild again overseas Telling

10:39

a story about something he claims to have said

10:41

years ago. So it doesn't really change anything This

10:43

is who he is He kind of he's in

10:45

a kind of boorish way making the point that

10:47

he wants European countries to spend more on NATO

10:49

and Trump clearly did some cleanup of this because

10:51

Somebody in his campaign gave my cattle prodding their

10:54

true social saying I want NATO to be strong

10:56

some version of that Anyway,

10:58

the Kremlin declined to address Trump's remarks the

11:00

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Pescov telling reporters I am

11:02

still Putin's press secretary, but not Trump's continued

11:05

Pescov. Also, I believe that Harry and David's

11:07

gift basket We sent him speaks louder than

11:09

words Hey,

11:11

don't go anywhere. There's more of love it or leave it

11:13

coming up And We're

11:22

back before we get to the rest of this week So

11:24

far wondrous news love her to leave it will be

11:27

coming to Washington DC on April 25th for a show

11:29

at the Lincoln Theatre Go to

11:31

crooked comm slash events to grab your tickets

11:33

now. They are selling pretty fast I say

11:35

gonna be some good guests and we

11:37

have some good guests. Yeah secret though

11:39

secret good. Yes We have a

11:41

new high note submission system as well because

11:44

we've The

11:49

old system it's over So if

11:51

you submitted a high note in between the show where we

11:53

asked you to call that number and the show where we

11:55

said To stop calling that number. Those

11:57

are lost to time. Those are them

12:01

in the base of the part of the pyramid we

12:03

can't access. We buried them as a time capsule. Yeah,

12:05

they'll just they'll be there for the future generations

12:07

when they unlock that Gmail inbox and we figure

12:09

out what's going on in there. Aww. I'm happy

12:11

they're engaged. Send

12:14

a voice memo to

12:16

lowly high notes. Why is it a Gmail

12:18

not a crooked? That was

12:21

the whole issue that we couldn't fit up with a work email. Yeah.

12:23

Also, you know we don't know. It's

12:26

really I have to ask permission to

12:28

set up a crooked email and I

12:31

just have to gm lowly high [email protected].

12:33

L O L I high [email protected] or

12:36

if you're a friend of the pod subscriber, you have

12:38

the exclusive ability to leave us your high notes without

12:40

the hassle of a call or email. You can head

12:42

to friends of the pod discord and post a comment

12:44

or voice memo in the love it or leave it

12:46

channel or high notes channel and maybe you'll hear it

12:48

on the show. What? What a perk. Yeah,

12:51

it's just so hard to send an email. Shut up. Speaking

12:54

of weak defenses. Oh my god,

12:56

that was a transition between we can't put up. We

12:58

wrote a whole transition. So just so hey,

13:02

from before the break, we

13:04

were talking about NATO defenses.

13:07

Just reminding everybody. They'll remember they just saw

13:09

it. And speaking of weak defenses, the follow

13:13

continues in special counsel Robert Herr releases nearly

13:15

400 page report. We're doing great. Yeah. I

13:17

love him. I'm crying. But it's the fact

13:19

that while President Biden should not be charged

13:21

for possessing classified documents after he left the

13:24

White House in 2017, he should have a

13:26

very, very

13:28

shitty weekend dealing with the conclusions in the

13:30

report. For example, her rights. We have also

13:32

considered that at trial, Mr. Biden would likely

13:34

present himself to a jury as he did

13:36

during our interview of him as

13:38

a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with

13:40

a poor memory. Hey, these

13:43

sound like insults cried President Biden. White

13:45

House officials and the president's allies left to defend him to

13:47

the press calling the report a partisan hit job. Biden also

13:50

defended himself, but it was less of a leap and more

13:52

of a kind of careful, careful

13:54

rise. President Biden lost his

13:56

temper after one reporter asked a pointed question.

13:58

Well, Danny Americans. People have

14:00

been watching and they have infront concerns

14:03

about your age. That is your

14:05

judgment. That is your judgment. Well,

14:08

you look so surprised. I

14:11

love to see Biden aggressively fighting back against

14:13

the report's accusation that he's sympathetic and well-meaning.

14:16

Now, on to the age one. Is

14:19

it a finger wag if you do it at this pace?

14:22

Yeah, sure. Sure. It

14:25

just works different muscles. You do

14:27

them slow and fast, then slow. You

14:30

know? Yeah. Said Vice

14:32

President Kamala Harris on Friday, the way the

14:34

president's demeanor in that report was characterized could

14:36

not be more wrong on the facts and

14:38

clearly politically motivated gratuitous. Continued Harris,

14:40

unless this looks bad enough to kick him off a

14:43

ticket, and then I have a story about him forgetting

14:45

what 9-11 was that'll make your blood run ice cold.

14:48

Oh, the shit she must have heard. Yeah,

14:51

maybe. Maybe she doesn't remember, though. I

14:54

have to believe her inner monologue is so loud that

14:56

she really can't hear what's going on. Oh,

14:58

yeah, it's a jet engine in there. 24-7. Kamala,

15:01

Kamala, Kamala, Kamala. What

15:09

is the line from the song, like, old

15:11

enough to know and young enough to do? Kamala, Kamala,

15:15

Kamala, Kamala. Kamala, Kamala, Kamala. On

15:20

Monday, Biden alluded to the report with a joke about

15:22

his age and memory at a White House event for

15:24

the National Association of Counties. I

15:26

know it don't look like it, but I've been around a while. I

15:32

do remember that. The

15:36

one thing he does remember, death is just around the

15:38

corner. National

15:41

Association of Counties. I know, like, just-

15:43

National- What are the organizations? That's just

15:45

what the country is. The

15:48

National Association of Counties? Yeah, that's what America is,

15:50

in a sense, the National Association of Counties. National

15:53

Association of Counties, like, as a speechwriter,

15:55

there are just these events that you have to do

15:58

speeches for when the mayors come to town or- the

16:00

National Association of Counties or you know those

16:02

kinds of events and you know, and you

16:04

always and it's just like there's some part

16:06

of it where you're doing whatever message you're

16:08

doing and then there's a part where you

16:10

have to say some version of the same

16:12

thing you say which is as leaders

16:15

at the county level you understand

16:18

this because you're where the

16:20

rubber meets the road. When you when

16:22

you're working at the county level you

16:24

know that you can't hide from the

16:26

problems that your constituents face every single

16:28

day. You can't hide when the snow

16:30

needs to be cleared and the garbage

16:32

needs to pick up. You understand what's

16:34

going on around. That's why I so

16:36

value the relationship I have with America's

16:38

county executive. But isn't that like the one thing

16:40

if I work for the county I'd be like thank you for saying

16:42

that. This is actually

16:44

very hard. The snow is

16:47

a huge problem. For sure.

16:49

No they need it. Everyone needs

16:51

a pep talk from the president to them once in

16:53

their lifetime. I like whenever we hit the road and

16:55

like someone is like on their like school board or

16:57

like their county seat and they're like the

17:00

week I've had man. Like I have

17:03

been in so many meetings about this railway and

17:05

it's not going anywhere. What do you recommend? And

17:07

you're like I don't know. Don't ask me. What's

17:09

your high note? Don't

17:13

say it's coming to the show. Yeah

17:15

let me just also take a moment

17:17

to remind everyone that

17:19

the fact that Los

17:21

Angeles is one of the nation's biggest cities in the

17:24

nation's largest county is completely stupid

17:27

and we should not have a city with five

17:29

million people as part of a county with 10

17:31

million people. That organizational structure makes absolutely no sense.

17:33

And Ohio has roughly the same number

17:36

of people as Los Angeles county and

17:38

Ohio has a governor, a legislature. And

17:40

Los Angeles has a board

17:42

of supervisors of like five people making decisions

17:44

like a star chamber and I'm not a

17:46

fan of that. Okay.

17:49

LA too big. LA too big. Anyway

17:54

death is just around the corner. Yeah and thank God.

17:56

Which is why we should all live like there's no

17:58

tomorrow and play like Taylor is watching. This

18:00

Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs won the

18:02

Super Bowl, feeding the San Francisco

18:04

49ers. What? You

18:07

didn't super bowl your mouth at any of those words. I

18:09

don't know what is coming out. It's

18:12

49ers. 49ers. 25

18:15

to 22. You know

18:17

that draft of a speech for Nixon to deliver if the

18:19

astronauts died on the moon? I wonder

18:22

how long we'll have to wait for the National Archives to

18:24

release the statement Taylor would have made breaking up with Travis

18:26

if he hadn't brought on the trophy. To

18:28

be read, it just says on the top, to

18:30

be read in the event of football disasters. That's

18:34

what the speech says on the top, right? To be read in the

18:36

event of moon disasters. I think we call it an event of moon

18:38

disasters. An event of moon disaster. Incredible. I thought he used a little

18:40

code. It's so beautiful. It's beautiful. It's

18:43

also very specific. We were looking at it

18:45

before this record, and I forgot that

18:47

it is a specific draft of a speech that

18:49

is not about what would happen if the

18:52

mission failed completely, but specifically what

18:55

would happen if Michael Collins was

18:57

alive. In

18:59

orbit, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin

19:01

died on the surface. Yeah, specifically about the

19:03

lander to take off. If the lander couldn't

19:05

get them back off and they were slowly

19:08

running out of oxygen while on

19:11

the moon's surface. Did they decide if all the ways that could go

19:13

wrong, that was the most likely one? I

19:16

feel like it was one that they

19:18

wanted to be prepared for because it was one in which the

19:21

world would be watching and aware that these

19:23

two men were going to die before they

19:25

were dead. And it is, I

19:28

have to say, the most beautiful text ever written

19:30

to describe slowly running out of air and then

19:32

becoming a frozen husk while on the surface of

19:34

our only moon. It's not not like this immersible.

19:38

It's not not like this immersible. But

19:40

in the end, in the reality, this immersible just went... Yeah. I

19:45

would like to speak about it though. It's

19:47

not too late. You're right. An

19:49

event of submersible disaster.

19:51

I'm glad the whole world wasn't like

19:54

watching this immersible unfold. Like

19:56

it was the moon landing because it was not. It

19:58

does feel like they picked up that scenario because they're like, well... be the

20:00

biggest bummer. We should at least have that prepared. Like

20:02

the one that's like, oh, that would be bad. We'll

20:04

just prepare that. Also, if cameras were on the submersible,

20:06

the world would have been watching. For sure. Yeah. For

20:09

sure. But luckily, they didn't work. If

20:11

there were, if there were, I'm sure

20:13

they wouldn't be. Control like a dimmer switch or something. It's

20:15

like the high note voice now. It's kind of we got

20:17

here. Yes, the world too,

20:19

didn't not only to enjoy the game, but to

20:22

watch America's sweetheart, Taylor Swift cheer on her man,

20:24

chief's tight end, Travis Kelsey. When asked

20:26

what he plans to do after the game, Kelsey

20:28

told reporters, I'm going to Disneyland right after my

20:30

debrief at the Pentagon. Ahead of the game, conservatives

20:33

whipped themselves into a frenzy for a week, calling

20:35

T Swift a PSYOP, presumably to get president Biden

20:37

reelected in the fall. The rumors rose to such

20:39

a fever pitch. Deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh

20:42

had to address them publicly, telling Politico, we know

20:44

all too well the

20:46

dangers of conspiracy theories. So to set

20:48

the record straight, Taylor Swift is not

20:50

part of a DOD psychological operation. The

20:53

Pentagon continued, there was nothing

20:55

psychological about her mission to

20:57

kill Antonin Scalia. After

21:01

the win, Taylor and Travis ran into each other's

21:03

arms and smooched on the sidelines. I

21:05

know we want to talk about football right now, but

21:07

as I look at Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, we're

21:09

going to talk about the relationship all year long. Yeah,

21:17

it's Kelsey. Not Travis Kelsey. It's

21:20

too silly in right now. Yeah,

21:22

you're right. Meanwhile, the Biden campaign risked on

21:25

the conspiracy theory, tweeting a photo of Dark Brandon with

21:27

the caption, just like we drew it up. It's

21:30

strange to think that the conspiracy theorists believe that

21:32

Joe Biden is an all-powerful string puller and complete

21:34

and total command of every facet of our society,

21:36

except politics. He's running juries in Manhattan. He's controlling

21:38

who wins the Super Bowl, but he can't pass

21:41

a border bill. And perhaps the weirdest

21:43

commercial of the night, a group called He Gets

21:45

Us ran a spot about Jesus and foot washing.

21:58

Wow, I'm going to convert to Christianity. said

22:00

a fully-erexed Quentin Dern to know.

22:03

Ben App, like Matt Damon, Tom Brady, and

22:05

J.Lo, appeared in a Duncan ad in which

22:07

the Boston Boys form a boy band called

22:09

Dun Kings. How

22:19

do you like them donuts? I'm so sorry.

22:23

Time to park the car in the garage, close the door,

22:25

and run the motor. I

22:29

was like, we used to have stars in this town. And

22:32

finally, the skincare brand, Sarah View, ran an

22:34

ad featuring an endorsement from Michael Sarah,

22:36

finally resolving the mystery of why Sarah was

22:39

spotted hauling around giant bags of lotion.

22:41

The giant bags of lotion were for an

22:43

ad, and not as many assumed, for

22:45

compulsive masturbation. We've done it

22:47

again. We did it.

22:51

And that's our show. Thank you to Sarah.

22:53
