(12:02–18:41)

  “It’s so bad it makes me giddy... I’ll watch every episode.” (12:15)
• Speculate whether the show’s awfulness is intentional: “It’s so bad for people to make fun of it... I’m convinced Ryan Murphy did it on purpose.” (12:19)

  “Let’s just put it straight... Kim Kardashian is not a good actress.” (12:57)

6. TMI Corner: Viral “Too Big” Divorce Story

(51:00–61:13)

8. Dancing With the Stars: The Andy Richter Fandemonium Problem

(71:04–95:48)

  Fran: “He gave Dylan Efron a 10… Alex Earl, fucking nine—completely robbed her.” (73:04)

• Extended, impassioned argument about Andy Richter’s continued survival on the show, propelled by voters who join for the meme (“The Fandies” “This is bigger than all of us now”—Noah, 85:31).

• Fran: “On the ballroom dance floor, I am not entertained at all. I am zero percent entertained.” (91:16)
