The digest
In a wide-ranging discussion, Tim Dillon and Ben Avery delve into the latest royal developments, dissect the enduring appeal of Donald Trump, and confront the daunting reality of America's escalating national debt. From the Sussexes' unexpected move back to the UK to the prospect of a staged alien invasion as a solution to economic woes, the conversation is both provocative and insightful.
Meghan and Harry: Back to the UK
The episode kicks off with the bombshell news that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are returning to the UK. Tim Dillon expresses his disbelief and amusement at the couple's journey, highlighting their previous attempts to forge a new life in America. "They spent six years in America. They tried to do documentaries, they tried to write children's books, they tried to sell jam, she tried to be Martha Stewart, she had a Netflix show where she taught people how to make pasta," Dillon recounts, emphasizing the couple's relentless pursuit of various ventures. He notes that the UK, unlike America, has no choice but to deal with them, as Harry is a prince. Dillon likens the situation to having a child who acts up in school: "You got to deal with them." He argues that the concept of a "working royal" is an oxymoron, describing it as a ceremonial role designed to entertain the working class. Dillon predicts that the couple will now be forced to "fall in line" and accept their destiny within the UK, as their Hollywood ambitions have seemingly fizzled. "They came back and realized that that didn't work and that was fake. So now they're going to go back to London," he states, suggesting a sense of inevitability about their return.
