He is such an asshole. I used to watch him on MSNBC back in the day, and now I question my life choices because maybe he was always an insufferable prick. I wonder what Katy Tur saw in him.

Katie is now married and a mom. I’m happy for her. More salient to me is that she loves Phish as much as I do. I would love to boogie with her at a show and then I would want to hug her because her father is unhinged AF and the AGP is probably not the worst of it.

Oh, yes. I remember her talking about Phish!

She also used to drop in veiled references to Phish lyrics without explaining them - lil Phishy Easter eggs. I haven’t kept up with her in ages, tho, since I got rid of cable.

Finding about about KO and Katy Tur send me down the rabbit hole of reading about her father. What a nightmare.

I almost posted something about her father but deleted it (it sounds like he was physically abusive).

Ironic that he used to do that “worst person in the world” segment when the worst person in the world was in the mirror the whole time

I forgot about that! I’ve blocked my Olbermann memories. I only remember he was a James Thurber superfan or something & occasionally read bits of his work.
