As Marie Kondo once said, "I'm so excited because I love mess!"

I can't wait to see how Olivia does the RFK voice for the audiobook, which she is apparently narrating. Maybe she should get Katie in to do the voice just for those parts 😅

Before Jesse's Twitter posts about it I had no idea who any of these people were, and now that I do, somebody owes me reparations. 😡

I had forgotten who Mark Sanford is. I thought, ok, I guess we are using a pseudonym for RFK... Oh, shit!

I hope Lizza will be typing this from the front seat of his car.

Sad to say I not only knew who he was but could remember his face and that she was living in Florida despite being labelled Argentinian as if some far off exotic hussy.

Americans love to dump on Florida but between RonD’s cruelty, MAGA aesthetic and Trump it really is Florida that has taken over America. The Floridification of America is defo a book you and Helen should work on.

Do a Google Images search of Sanford's wife then do a search of the mistress. Could easily pass for sisters. I suppose the guy has a "type".

Wait… Keith Oberlmann paid for her to go to college and put her up in an apartment in NYC for years. How did that go unnoticed? This is soooo messy.

Yeah I think that was known. Women typically have a lower floor on their life than men. In case of lack of other economic options, you always have a highly valuable commodity to sell.

Men used to have that with committing violence, but that has mostly gone away.

This piece is so absolutely awash in self-regard that I really hope that aspect is parodical. Lowkey comparing himself to Buddha in the first third was a vibe.

That NYT profile of Nuzzi really makes the North Korean propaganda model of journalism look a lot more appealing

I hadn’t realized she had written a memoir. What a strange, attention-seeking woman.

I’d prefer a full Dasha pod. Cancellation is back!

The grandiosity and teenagerishness of this piece is hard to deal with. Glad there was a nice twist at the end to make it semi worth it.

I hope we get some of Katie's amazing RFK impression. And by some I mean I want the entire episode to be done in RFK voice.

Katie should just do the whole thing as an aghast RFKJr “wait….wait….Olivia….Olivia….Mark?….Olivia…….wait….

1. I've just discovered that Keith Olbermann and Keith Morrison are two different people.

2. I hope they start the live broadcast with: "Nuzzi NEWWWS! Nuzzi News," a la New Heights podcast. IYKYK
