Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Katherine Timpf is here. She is the co host on Gutfeld, which you can see every weeknight at 10pm eastern, 7pm in the west on the Fox News Channel. Kat, welcome back to Kennedy to save the World.
- [00:27]
A
Thanks for having me.
- [00:28]
B
Yeah, thank you so much. What do people ask you, I think this is so fascinating. What do people ask you when you do your stand up shows?
- [00:37]
A
Oh my gosh. What don't they ask me? So when I do my shows, I do an hour and a lot of it, not a lot. It's all deeply personal. I talk about motherhood, I talk about cancer, I talk about my mastectomy, I talk about my mental health and place. I make jokes about times when it's been really low. And so when I do the meet and greets after the set opens the door for people to say literally anything to me. And I like that. I do like that. I do like that people feel like they can be open and say whatever because that is really, it's like kind of how I deal with things. Like I could not imagine getting through some of the stuff I've been through or even just life itself without being able to do that. People ask me questions about my mastectomy, my recovery, my reconstruction. Several people have gone and gotten nipple tattoos. The place where I went. Cause I talked about it.
- [01:30]
C
Yeah.
- [01:30]
B
The place in Maryland.
- [01:31]
A
Yeah. Where, where Jennifer Griffin took me.
- [01:34]
B
I think that that is the most incredible thing. Because you thought you were going to. I know we talked about this last time. But you thought you were going to have to have another surgery.
- [01:42]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [01:43]
B
Which is already daunting enough after you had two.
- [01:45]
A
Yeah. And I, and I just. And I'm happy with the tattoos for now. Maybe, maybe when I'm done having kids I'll get like the full reconstructive surgery because also probably will be better by then. Like they're working on stuff.
- [01:57]
B
Nipples.
- [01:58]
A
They're working on some stuff with 3D printing actually that it's not done now but probably within a few, like maybe five years.
- [02:07]
B
So maybe you can keep your existing tattoos and then just put something underneath
- [02:11]
A
that would exactly, that would exactly be like there's implants they're kind of working on. They already have some in other countries but it's not approved here yet. So there's some stuff they're kind of
- [02:18]
B
working on that I don't like. Like that. That's one thing that drives me crazy about our FDA is there are pretty amazing drugs.
- [02:26]
A
Yep.
- [02:26]
B
And Amazing procedures and even, like, some of the cosmetic stuff that you can do in South Korea and Brazil that you can't do here.
- [02:35]
A
Yeah. And I know, I've thought about it. I think it will be approved here by the time I'm done having kids, I hope. Cause I'm also not rushing to have another kid right now, but. So that would be something I would consider then.
- [02:45]
B
But for now, I mean, you have a pretty amazing kid.
- [02:50]
A
Yeah, I do. I do. He's great. He's great.
- [02:53]
B
I was talking to a new mom and New mom for the second time. So she has a two and a half year old and a newborn, and they had totally different sleep schedules.
- [03:07]
A
Ah, yeah.
- [03:08]
B
Yeah. And she's like, you know, the newborn, she's finally only waking up once a night.
- [03:12]
A
Yeah.
- [03:13]
B
And I was like, cat lays her baby down and he goes to sleep for 12 hours.
- [03:18]
A
Yes, he does. Okay, so this actually kind of. He kind of hurt my feelings yesterday. Let me tell you what he did. All right? So I like holding him, of course. I like rocking him. I like snuggling him. He doesn't feel that way about me or anyone. He likes to run around. He likes to play. He likes to do things.
- [03:34]
B
And he's running. I feel like your son skipped the walking phase.
- [03:38]
A
Yeah, he's running. So. And he did. He did this to me. He's also done this to our nanny. He's done this where it's like we're holding him. We're like, I kind of feel like maybe I want to rock him to sleep. Even though, like, my husband wants to do that, because they don't want him to get used to it because he does just go to sleep. So I'm rocking him. He'll hold him. He points to the crib and he goes, this. I'm like, I'm like, you hate me. I'm like, you hate me. I'm like, no. But he was like, okay, this is really nice. But, like, I'm ready for bed.
- [04:07]
B
And my husband's like, such cruel little ass. Horrible.
- [04:10]
A
My husband's like, he's gonna be horrible when he grows up with women. I'm like, no, say that. He like, please don't say that. He's one like, do not say that. He's like, all right, time for me to go to bed. This has been great.
- [04:21]
B
But you're already conditioning him. You've already told him, if you cheat on your girlfriend, I'll tell her.
- [04:25]
A
I'll tell her. I told him. I'm like, I'll tell her if you gasl women not with the phone that I pay for, you're not going to be gaslighting women with the phone that I pay for. I will take that phone away if you're gaslighting women. So I will run a tight ship when it comes to that. But I was like, he just, you know, he's independent, like, he likes. And, and obviously when he wakes in the morning, he's like, get me out of here. He's like, and he's so happy to see me. And like, so smiley.
- [04:47]
B
And such a great eater, too.
- [04:48]
A
Such a great eater. You know, when I come, he'll run towards me when I come in the room. So it's like he doesn't like me, but he really is just like, that's, he's like, all right, I know. I'm. What child tells you at age one, I would like to go to bed now. Like, I feel like that doesn't happen.
- [05:05]
B
No, that didn't happen with my kids.
- [05:07]
A
No, I, I, I still don't do that.
- [05:08]
B
And I felt like I had a pretty good system. Like, and by the way, like, everyone worries, like, oh, this time in your life, like, you're never going to remember to go so quick. Like, you remember everything. Yeah, like, you will remember everything. And for the longest time, like, they are babies to you and they still look like babies when they sleep. What I want to know, and I'm very curious because obviously, like, I'm from a different generation than you. Like, Gen Xers really had to learn how to use technology. You're a millennial. So, so it was pretty infused in your life. Like, my kids have grown up with smart smartphones. They've always, they've always known, like, they're very intuitive. The, the tablets and phones are not, you know, my, my children are brilliant. They should be working at nasty. But, like, these devices are pretty intuitive. It's, it's easy. So that has just become a part of who they are. How do you think your child will be different with AI? Like, does that ever blow your mind?
- [06:03]
A
Oh, it totally blows my mind. It totally does. Because, like, that is a, that is a whole different thing. Like people. And also, what will even the job, what will the jobs be? What will the job market even look like? Because there's so many jobs that frankly, like, aren't gonna exist anymore. Like, a lot of basic copywriting jobs, a lot of those kinds of things, entry level stuff doesn't exist anymore. And even I talk about this actually at my shows. Or I'll ask People who are older than I am. How did you raise a child without Chatgpt? Because I will be like, ask ChatGPT. Like, is this okay? Like, is this. Is the baby good? Blah, blah, blah. But at the same time, it really does have its limits. And I guess one example of when he had his first cold. And I was like, whoa. Like, this is. Obviously, it's a lot. It's, you know, there's snot everywhere, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, I don't want to get sick. Of course I do. I just get sick every time I get sick. But I asked you at gbt, and they're like, oh, to avoid spreading it, change clothes every time you get snot on you. And I'm like, okay, actually, maybe it's not gonna take all.
- [07:07]
B
Just have your servants go ahead and wash all of your things.
- [07:10]
C
But I.
- [07:11]
A
How many shirts do you think I have? You know? Like, this is like, I'm getting snot on myself every two second. Every two seconds of me sounding myself. So there are limits to it. But there are things now where it's like, I almost hate even how much I rely on it. And you're just going to be raised with that.
- [07:27]
B
Do you think there's going to be, like, brain chips? Like, I think about that. I love a family member with Dementra.
- [07:33]
A
Yep.
- [07:34]
B
And. And so, of course, like, I'm like, well, I have to take creatine. I have to do cardio five days a week. I have to drink green tea every day in order to slow any cognitive decline.
- [07:46]
A
So.
- [07:46]
B
Because it scares you. But I'm like, maybe there will be brain chips. Like, maybe these kids who are raised on AI will just use AI to figure out how we can. And instead of. Because the big worry is like, well, you're never going to use your memory again.
- [07:59]
A
Yeah.
- [07:59]
B
And you're going to experience cognitive decline because you're going to be relying on chat GPT instead of thinking about actual solutions. But I'm feeling like kids his age are going to be like, no, let's just make the brain trips. Let's use AI to. To figure out how to make the brain chips and then put them in, and we'll never have cognitive decline ever again.
- [08:16]
A
I think brain chips are totally reasonable. I think everyone's gonna, at some point have to have a brain chip. Because think about cell phones. There was a resistance for a while to cell phones. People would be like, I don't wanna. I remember this. People would be like, I don't wanna have a cell phone. I Don't wanna be able to be reached all the time.
- [08:34]
B
I don't wanna have, like. My dad was like, I will never write phone numbers down because I need to challenge my memory. I need to memorize every single phone number.
- [08:42]
A
Yeah, yeah. People will.
- [08:44]
B
That was the flex.
- [08:45]
A
People will be resistant to that. I know. People didn't want cell phones. They don't want to have them. And then it's like, well, would you like to be employed? You don't have a choice. Everyone's using this technology. People do need to be able to reach you outside of work hours. There are no work hours really anymore with cell phones. And I think the brain chip's gonna be the same way.
- [09:04]
B
Are we gonna have robot maids?
- [09:06]
A
I feel like, see, that's what I want. I would rather have robot maids than having robots doing all the writing and all these different things. But at a certain time when the technology is there, you just have to adapt. Like, you can try to speak out against it as much as you want, but you can't. You really can't. Stop it.
- [09:25]
B
I need to ask you a question. I need you to think about this and answer me seriously. How gay do you think your robot friends will be?
- [09:32]
A
I hope so gay. I hope so gay. I really hope, Like, I really. That's. I really hope so. So, so gay. Yeah.
- [09:41]
B
Like, I think they'll invent a certain strand of robot just for you.
- [09:47]
A
I do. I need that.
- [09:49]
B
You'll have, like, gay robot press.
- [09:51]
A
Yeah, I'm not gonna buy one until they come out with a gay one. It applies to me for a lot of things.
- [09:59]
B
I love it.
- [10:01]
A
I do, too. I do, too. As you know, I'm a reverse homophobic. I'm reverse homophobic. Some people are like, are you scared of straight people? No, it's not that. It's just more like some people will have, like, some sort of bias if someone's gay where they're like, like, but he's gay. I'll do that in the reverse where gay people. I will let them get away with a lot of things because I'm like, oh, but they're gay. Instead of like, oh, but he's gay. I'm like, but they're gay. Actually, this sweatshirt that I'm wearing now, I like it because two lesbians who came to my show in Milwaukee bought it for me.
- [10:38]
B
Oh, so, like, it's gay.
- [10:41]
A
Like, you know, do I like the bucks? No, but I like. I. They're gay.
- [10:44]
B
My daughter shoes that color. Like, you guys should almost coordinate and share custody of the sweatshirt and shoes so you can have a matching outfit between you.
- [10:54]
A
Yeah, this is like they brought it to my show. I immediately put it on.
- [10:58]
B
Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy saves the world right after this.
- [11:02]

B
What do people ask you about Greg and Tyrus?
- [12:04]
A
Everyone always asks me everything about. They're like, what is Greg?
- [12:06]
B
Greg is the first person people ask about when I'm doing a show.
- [12:10]
A
Yeah. People are like, what is he like? Right. And it's like, he's like, you've seen it. He's exactly the same, I would say, as he's on the show and people ask him about Tyrus. And Tyrus is very sweet.
- [12:19]
B
Yes.
- [12:20]
A
Tyrus is very sweet.
- [12:21]
B
Yes.
- [12:22]
A
He's a very sweet guy.
- [12:23]
B
I feel like Tyrus is very protective.
- [12:24]
A
Yes.
- [12:25]
B
And I don't know if people know that side of him.
- [12:27]
A
He really is. He's a Pisces. He's a Pisces. He's like. He's like. It's like sweet. They're like, sweet.
- [12:36]
B
Yes. I'm a little Pisces.
- [12:38]
A
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So I. They asked me about that. People ask me about you. When I tell one of my jokes about how you married my husband and I, they just start clapping. They start clapping. They're like, yeah. And I'm like, yeah. Like, I agree. I agree.
- [12:54]
B
I have to put the monkey pleasuring itself back into my set.
- [12:58]
A
Yeah.
- [12:59]
B
Because right now I'm doing a set that's very Much about the enemies of freedom.
- [13:02]
A
Got it.
- [13:03]
B
So I think that I have to
- [13:05]
A
find a way to. You can fit in there.
- [13:07]
B
Because that. That trip that we took to Africa, I think about every day, if not every other.
- [13:12]
A
No, I do too. I do too. There is a. If there's a universe, I really want to live there. That's like. I don't want to say this because, like, my husband wasn't there, but it was like, one of the happiest times I've ever been.
- [13:23]
B
Like, you did talk to him pretty much every day.
- [13:25]
A
I did, of course, but I said,
- [13:27]
B
so in that sense, he was there with you, experiencing everything.
- [13:30]
A
But I felt. I mean, there's just. You really have to be mindful when you're out there and there's all these wild animals that could kill you. You. So it forces you to get out of your head.
- [13:43]
B
Yeah.
- [13:43]
A
So that's what I really liked about it.
- [13:45]
B
Oh, that's a really great point.
- [13:46]
A
You know, you can't be.
- [13:48]
B
You can't be daydreaming. You can't be on your phone. No, no, it's really. That's a really important point. Because that's such a good point. That we are conditioned to be so in our heads. Because we're in our phones.
- [14:00]
A
Yes.
- [14:00]
B
And then we don't. We're not on our phones. We're thinking about something else so deeply. We are so far removed from the moment.
- [14:07]
A
Having conversations in your head with someone that you never end up having. Thinking about that thing you said. Thinking about the thing you have to do. Whatever it is. You can't do that when you're there and there's like a bajillion elephants surrounding you.
- [14:20]
B
Yes.
- [14:21]
A
You're focusing on the elephants. You're focusing on the. The lion or whatever.
- [14:26]
B
I want to ask you this as. As a mom, having experienced that, because you had not yet had your son when we were in Africa.
- [14:33]
A
Yeah.
- [14:34]
B
But you said that, that, that trip really prepared you for motherhood, for things we saw. Like, we saw a brand new baby elephant that still had its umbilical cord.
- [14:43]
A
Yes.
- [14:43]
B
Attached.
- [14:44]
A
Yes.
- [14:45]
B
How, looking back, how does that make you feel, having been through the same biological experience?
- [14:51]
A
It did. It did prepare. I was always somebody who was like, I don't know how to hold a baby. Like, I don't hold babies. I don't know how to take care of a baby. And then I saw these animals doing it, and they don't ever take a class. You know what I mean? Like, they don't. And they do it. And I Think more of them die than human babies. But still it is like that when you have a human baby, you give birth and then they're not like, all right, well now is your class. Like they kind of just like they're like, here you go.
- [15:23]
B
Yeah. But even.
- [15:24]
A
And I figured it out like I
- [15:25]
B
did the elephants who surrounded the. The little new baby elephant. Like they instinctively. And there was like a teenage elephant and like a kind of younger one and then the other women like.
- [15:35]
A
Yeah.
- [15:35]
B
And that's how it was when I visited you when you had just had your son. Like your sister was there.
- [15:40]
A
Yeah.
- [15:41]
B
Your dad was there.
- [15:41]
A
Yeah, exactly.
- [15:42]
B
There was a cake. Like you were, you were all like your tribe was surrounding and protecting you and your baby.
- [15:48]
A
Yeah, exactly. And there is something where I remember my son was like, I don't know, like eight days old or something like that. And I remember being like, I'm doing this. Like I'm doing this. I'm feeding him, I'm changing his diapers, I'm putting him to sleep. I'm doing all this. And it was so scary to me that I wouldn't be able to know that I wouldn't know how to do it. And I just. And I'm like, still, I'm like, I'm just doing it. I'm just figuring it out. There's almost too much information out there right now. There's when you go to be. And I didn't read any books. I was on tour, I was working seven days a week. And I also just was like when I tried to read, I read books about childbirth but about like actually being a mom. I didn't read anything. Cause I almost would start and I would get too overwhelmed so I would just stop. So I didn't read anything.
- [16:36]
B
Almost like reading a computer manual.
- [16:38]
A
Exactly. And it's like, do this, do this. And everyone has something different to say. They're like, oh, sleep train at this age. Oh no, don't sleep train at all. Because then you ruin your baby.
- [16:46]
B
Make sure you have a night nurse.
- [16:47]
A
Yes. And everybody told me I needed a night nurse, which I didn't. And then I kind of also wish, I almost wish. I mean at the point then I had like the whole cancer thing. So that was. My dad came and helped, but I didn't. Didn't have a night nurse.
- [16:59]
B
He's a hell of a night nurse though.
- [17:00]
A
He really was. He was my 68 year old male night nurse. He helped because there was times I couldn't obviously lift him, my son. So. Yeah. And then Just also having a man as a partner who's, you know, I hate. Like, I hate people say hands on dad. Cause that implies that, like, it's special. Yeah, but it's like, you know, he was a dad. He was a.
- [17:22]
B
But could you imagine if he weren't a hands on dad?
- [17:24]
A
I hear stories about women whose, you know, husbands kind of are like, that's your thing. I don't know how these men are still alive. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I would be violent. I would be, yes, the husbands. I'm like, this is. You know how. You know how, like, you have to. And I. You have to prioritize the marriage. Really. And people think that that's. And what do I. I mean, I've been married for like five years almost. But I really do feel like people think I say that I'm like, my husband's the most important person in my life. People get really offended. But I feel like he is because when things are good with us, then my job, my. Things are better at work, my son is happier. Everything's happier when him and I are good. And prioritizing each other is what's better for our son. Because it's like, I can take a look at him and I'll be like, yo, he needs me to tap in right now. Or he can look at me and be like, she needs me to tap in right now. And that's the strength of the relationship that's allowing us to do that.
- [18:21]
B
Is there a direct correlation between the strength of the relationship and the strength of the coffee?
- [18:26]
A
Yeah, I don't know. I like really strong coffee, though. I never drank coffee before I had a kid.
- [18:30]
B
Really?
- [18:30]
A
Yeah, yeah. I drink, like, as a fun thing. I'd have a cup of coffee.
- [18:33]
B
Yeah. Like, oh, I'll have a caramel macchiato.
- [18:36]
A
But then when I was pregnant, then when I was pregnant, I was allowed, what, like, 200 milligrams of caffeine a day? And I was like, it's so hard. I'm only allowed 200 milligrams a day. And people are like, what were you having before? And I'm like, vyvanse, prescription amphetamines. I was having prescription amphetamines from age 5 to age 35 every day that I was not in the hospital. And then they were like, okay, you can have 200 milligrams of coffee. So I was tired, but I'm still off it. I'm still not taking it. Maybe occasionally I'll have a Vyvanse. It's been a few months since I've had one, but I have it. I don't rule it out. Maybe if I have some days where I can get a lot of writing done, I'll take one. Which is another crazy thing because I never thought I would ever be off of that medication. It was part of the reason I was so scared to get pregnant because I was like, how am I gonna function? And I straight up just was not functioning for a little while. Part of that is the first trimester, I think, for anyone. You really. You're really, really tired.
- [19:34]
B
Yeah.
- [19:35]
A
But also on top of that, coming off of amphetamine. 30 years of daily amphetamine use.
- [19:42]
B
I've been having surgery a month after you gave birth.
- [19:44]
A
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was that.
- [19:46]
B
And you had a few headwinds.
- [19:47]
A
Yes, exactly. So I wonder whenever I get pregnant again, if the first trimester will be as hard because I won't be withdrawing from amphetamines at the same time. Like, I was. I took my vyvanse, like, every day when I was pregnant stopped. So there was no, like, weaning off period.
- [20:04]
B
That's really interesting. I did not drink coffee before I got pregnant. So really, I didn't really have, like, caffeine. I would drink tea and I could drink green tea when I was pregnant, which felt great. But now I drink so much coffee, like, I cannot imagine the caffeine consumption now going to zero. Just, like, throwing the brakes on.
- [20:22]
A
Yeah, I know. And I also just think there is
- [20:25]
B
a lot you won't have to know for a few years.
- [20:27]
A
Yeah. You're still. You don't want to rush anything. You don't want to rush anything. I also. There is so much of this because it's in your face with Instagram. It's like there's so many people who are like, if you have any coffee at all, you do this risk. It's like you have to live as a person. Like, you have to like people. Like, there's so many things, like, other countries don't do. A lot of the things we do with, like telling women not to do, like, don't eat deli meat. Which I didn't. But now I'm like, would I. I don't know. I'm just scared of it in general.
- [20:58]
B
Some of it. Yeah. But like, like organic whole foods.
- [21:02]
A
It depends on where you're exact. Exactly. But it's like, I was like, it's. There's so much kind of shaming with everything. But then there's certain things you are allowed to do in this country. Like some people, they do continue to take their stimulants when they're pregnant. I chose not to. I was like, they're. I'm not doing that. But I don't know.

B
Yeah, I just didn't want something to happen when the baby's born and their eyes can't focus and it's like, ah,
- [21:24]
A
was that my fault? Right. So I was always like, I don't want it to be. And the drinking thing was easy. Cause I just like didn't as you know, I like, it made me.

B
I mean, that's almost the best part about morning sickness. Your first trimester is you have zero desire for alcohol.
- [21:39]
A
Alcohol. My whole pregnancy. And then for a while after, I was like, I had an aversion to it. I didn't want it at all, which I thought I would.
- [21:48]
B
Yeah, you thought you were like, woo,
- [21:49]
A
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby's out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, it took a while for me to. And even now it's like, I'm just so busy. But if, but if I have, you know, like a night off where I'm like, away and then I also have childcare and I have no work the next day, then like, yeah, don't drink.
