Al Franken makes it weird!

The story of Uvalde is primarily one of complete catastrophic failure of law enforcement. The police stood outside and let the shooter run amok, and did everything they could to stop desperate parents from trying to rescue their kids. Really dark stuff.

[@richsackett3423]

The story of Uvalde is the Right's solution to gun violence is more guns. The "complete catastrophic failure of law enforcement" is simply an anecdotal refutation of the "good guy with a gun" myth which they fought as their actual enemy. The enemy isn't the shooter, the enemy is anyone who'd kill their myths.

:) Lord's work. Thank you, @STEVIE Tirado.

[@TheGreatKrystoff]

The specific west wing moment Pete was thinking of in The West Wing is almost certainly during "Posse Comitatus" where Governor Ritchie and Bartlet share a brief conversation during the intermission of War of the Roses. Governor Ritchie hears that CJs bodyguard is shot and killed and he responds "Crime, boy, I don't know" and then proceeds to call him a smug superior son of a bitch. Bartlet ends the conversation by saying "If in the future you're wondering, 'crime, boy, I don't know' was when I decided to kick your ass. Fantastic moment in a show about the politics that we all wish existed. Very much a similar emotional beat to that real world moment. When the absence of moral leadership becomes so clear, sometimes people feel compelled to step up to the plate.

[@Kronikman07]

LMAO when you threw the pillow behind him, I probably had the same reaction as you. I pointed at my screen

[@Chelts]

I love Franken and I want him back in gov. I'm glad Pete pushed back a little on the jabs at Sanders he was doing for unknown reasons.

[@caejacks]

No kidding. His hatred of Bernie is so petty. He was a big time Hillary guy

[@BryceLK]

That was close! Saying "black and tarry bowel movement" just a few more times summons a TYSO Goblin like Beetlejuice to spray diarrhea on your face.

Looove both of these gentlemen

Deepak Chopra says (paraphrasing) when asking the question " WHO AM I ?" Go deeper, and ask "Who's asking?"

B t double u's, we arent all like that in Texas. Come to Houston.

[@ejgoldlust]

Pete asking explicitly for validation at 27:06 and Al completely squandering an opportunity to go full Stuart Smalley It's like he forgot who he was

[@JustOneAsbesto]

When World War III happens, I say we go back to the old naming convention. We'll have The Great War, The Greater War, and The Greatest War.

[@zg9445]

I’ve been saying for years that Pete needs to smile more!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@kavkazE]

Franken got done dirty, great guy

[@LouStoriale]

He got caught being a hypocrite.

[@b.joggin3484]

You're trying to give a free pass to a dude useing sexual harassment as a weapon getting caught for it, you dumb fuck.

[@zg9445]

@@LouStoriale a politician who is a hypocrite? Impossible! 😂

[@richsackett3423]

[@lauracohen4914]

Great episode, AL Franken is a favorite comedian. I listen to his podcast, he regularly has great guests.

[@macksanderson]

You made it, Weird Al Franken.

[@ejgoldlust]

He totally said "listener" Also we went to the same high school a couple decades apart and I can't believe we never got him as a guest speaker

[@matguy1000]

Julia Child bleeding to death was one of my first memories. thanks lol

[@zg9445]

Interesting that Pete is not familiar with a fellow Holmes, Rupert

Was just about to comment this

[@xcryptoone]

That's what I was saying. Inventing SNL?!!! 55:49 And it sounds like he did. Amazing.

[@toastedjoe1013]

Al comes off like a cranky contrarian at the beginning. Instead of yes-anding Pete, he just shoots everything down.

[@richsackett3423]

Which is funny.

[@BoltRM]

It takes a few minutes to get to know someone & understand their flow of talking. This being 1st time I've heard him, I felt Pete was a little cringey, but I would be too talking to Al Franken, one of my heroes.

[@redadamearth]

Franken's almost catastrophically dry; it takes some time to get used to.

[@MrColaxion]

10:30 the ep starts, holy shit

[@freightshayker]

SWEAR TO ME

[@GooseOD]

Pete sounds like Stuart Smally.

[@kahlodiego5299]

Whatever you were playing in the background while reading the advertisements had me pulling my hair out. I normally don't complain about things like that but it's really unnerving.

[@jakewood5406]

Does anyone know what sketch referenced YMIW?

[@zg9445]

I was trying to find this too, it might be The Poddy Awards? If so, it’s pretty small

[@Leviajohnson]

I’ve been searching for it and can’t find anything…

[@cgcolin]

[@Pumpkinking64]

Thanks for defending Bernie here, Pete. Also Al was boring, never wanted you to talk over a guest more.

[@zg9445]

I believe WWI was initially referred to as “The Deer Hunter”

[@toastedjoe1013]

Because it was overly long and boring?

[@RuShEd_AltF4]

What's up Pete?

[@ElliotWORLD]

Just a couple of gals sitting on the couch having a chat. Weird.

[@soularddave2]

I look for & listen to ANYTHING Al Franken. I like humor & politics. BTW, that's how the campaign could maintain interest.

[@lucasvicentehedgehogshot6154]

It's-a me mario.

[@markt7663]

old petee!!!!!! ya,bab.

[@kahlodiego5299]

Sorry - great show!

[@rgemail]

Honestly a little disappointing to see how curmudgeoney and out of phase Franken seems with Pete - this is more the energy one might expect of Lewis Black who was actually charming throughout.

[@caejacks]

So he likes Jeff flake more than Bernie…. Jesus talk about out of touch

[@richsackett3423]

This was taped exactly a year ago. Happy Rosh Hashanah!

[@presto709]

This episode wrote itself. Halmes and Frankin...springboard

[@LisaHumble]

Am Frankton kicks A$$)!

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

Advertisement? more n' more, then more. Really? So far 10 minutes and no end in sight. Bye, would of liked to hear Al Franken but you just can't stop. Really sick of this, I guess rampant inflation doesn't touch you but for majority food is becoming a luxury. Don't need you to have it rubbed in.

[@saar144]

Pete, 10 minutes of ads? Seriously?

[@johnschwarzkopf]

That's been the norm for years and years now... You know they ARE skippable, right?

[@redadamearth]

What are you complaining about? Just swipe to the start of the interview. How does that impact you in any way? Do you think Pete's doing this for free?

[@Naught359]

10:29 Skip the bullshit.

[@Naught359]

1:02:46 Skip the bullshit again.

[@723taylorjharris]

He really made it weird with the sexual harassment that ended his career.

[@redadamearth]

You mean the one where the accuser ended up retracting and admitted to having been *paid* by a GOP SuperPAC to exaggerate - the same one that literally just involved him putting his hand on the back of the wife of a couple who took a picture with him - and that was ridiculously overblown during the peak of the #MeToo movement, when everyone was overreacting? The one where he was totally vindicated and where the voters who reacted to the hoax were interviewed a year later and regretted being fooled by the fake story? That "sexual harrassment"?
