How Jake Tapper Handles Tough News Days | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

now let me ask you a question uh about. your life which is are you able when you. when it's been a really tough news day. yeah and you're watching things go down. that maybe can worry you as a husband. and a father are you able to. go home and shake that off and say oh it. really depends I mean sometimes yes. um. I mean look most news is not good news. right most news is is negative in some.

way or another. um. like some things are very distressing. obviously the the school shootings are. very upsetting uh war is very upsetting. you know January 6 was very upsetting. that sort of thing and it's tough it's. tough to shake it off. um. but generally speaking I go home and I. try to change the subject I try to yeah. just be with the kids and be with the. wife and not I don't watch news I'll. watch you or I'll watch uh other things. on streaming or whatever but like I'll.

try not to watch any news when I go home. do you uh I mean. I guess Twitter has become a different. thing but uh it's really weird now isn't. it yeah are you on it like the algorithm. I got off I I couldn't yeah it's. interesting because I didn't go on it. that much but there are certain ways. where you can get the news and kind of a. straightforward way on Twitter and then. uh I felt like it started to change and. now I'm seeing a lot of stuff that just. really depresses me and I feel like I'm. uh a very heavy lens has been put in.

front of me that's distorting the. picture I feel like there's an algorithm. that look all social media has this now. where they I mean they've all been doing. this for their exacerbating and making. us see conflict and hate and stuff like. that but I feel like this new. um. permutation of of Twitter is like it's. showing me things I don't want to see. like there's a whole I you know I have. the people I follow and I want to read. them but like it defaults to some other. group of tweets that like I don't who. would I don't want to watch I don't want.

to read these tweets from these people. who are they right like they've added. this thing of like here are tweets that. we would like you to read as opposed to. this is what you this is what you would. like to read yeah from you know really. awful people and I don't know I mean. it's just strange to me but I'm sure he. knows what he's doing yeah yeah I think. that it's just all you see online is. extremes like the people in the middle. aren't really that active it's the. people who are extreme who are just just.

talking about Twitter are you talking. about all social all of them all this. like when I go on Reddit I feel like. it's like sometimes it's very doomsy. well of course it's Reddit what are you. talking about but that's like when I go. into the dark web it takes a turn yes. can I just say even the pornography I. watch is very it's very doomsday it's. always like let's do it what's the point. we'll be dead soon and then.

I watch listen I like to score on my own. pornography. everybody. you listen on mute and then you do the. music for it yeah. I like to mute the porn and then put my. own music in and voices. la la la. it sounded fast.

here I go I've never heard one Chuck. like I've just never yeah. that's like a Beretta episode I thought. it was agreed upon that it was chica. oh nice last time you guys watched porn. 1977. it's in the book yeah that was the. summer of porn. we are all except during the blackout. yeah when suddenly all the porn went. dark. that's the Block No when Elvis passed we. all had to do something to recover so we.

watched four years old and of course. that foreign. I'm telling you this is all true it's. all in the book there's no porn in the. book no there's no point there is no. point. if you were to do porn music what would. it be it wouldn't be there would be no. music it's just the squishing sound okay. all right. what are they making latkes.

before they have sex. this is not a squishy no that's a. clapping sound I know I can't squish. with my hands. we have a respected newsman here and. what's going on people rely on him. somebody stuff it's happening. and this is what you do with its owner. I'm going to take us down this road well. Gorly and I put beautiful music. pornography and then you come along with.

your physical sounds your squishies. apparently you and your husband high. five each other during sex. because there's a squishing sound. that's just like we did it the Clippers. scored another hit. your babies are good though you said. come on why do you have to go to my. babies because well you because all of a. sudden we were talking about you having. sex. yes you had babies yes that's I know and.

last time I did this podcast you were. about to have twins and you used I named. them Leopold and Loeb which was such a. fantastic yeah that's great I think. Leopold and love is the perfect name for. them Eric and Lyle any there's so many. there are so many killing Duos Saco and. Vanzetti Sato and venzetti well. were they guilty we don't know right fat. man and little boy yeah oh my god oh wow. oh my God those are the nuclear bombs.

yes yes they are that's right that's. right well I don't know I mean why if. I'm just saying if one of her kids were. a little chubbier than the other one it. could be well yeah one's a little. thicker oh there you go there you go. that's great he's probably listening. right now and a single tier is going. down. Mama thinks I'm chunky.
