RACHEL says:
Whenever you want to send me those interview questions, feel free. I can run through them over lunch.
KEITH says:
what’s for lunch? I sent the questions to your email
RACHEL says:
Nothing that you would like. Although I have extra if you want to drop by.
RACHEL says:
Just opened the email. Um. Your first question?:
RACHEL says:
“Do you have a ranking system for natural disasters? Is a hurricane more important than a typhoon or does an earthquake take precedent? Mudslides? How about blizzards? I heard frostbite can be a bitch.”
RACHEL says:
Seriously?
KEITH says:
seriously
RACHEL says:
Btw hurricanes = typhoons.
KEITH says:
they spin differently
RACHEL says:
Hurricanes = typhoons as FOX = us.
KEITH says:
ha
KEITH says:
still reading?
RACHEL says:
Yep
RACHEL says:
and wow I can sense the tension through cyberspace.
KEITH says:
there’s no tension. just a 5-min segment about journalistic coverage of distaster zones. engel’s not here, so we’re stuck with ac.
KEITH says:
basically it’s to make fun of larry the cable guy
RACHEL says:
You mean Joe the Plumber?
KEITH says:
I say tomato
RACHEL says:
I type tomahhhto.
RACHEL says:
“How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning?”
RACHEL says:
“Is it overwhelming being you?”
RACHEL says:
“How do you make ‘dapper’ compatible with ‘disaster’?”
RACHEL says:
Keith!
KEITH says:
?
RACHEL says:
Any serious questions?
KEITH says:
those are serious. our audience wants to know how he risks his life looking like a newly minted nickel.
RACHEL says:
Jealous?
KEITH says:
bullets for bravado
RACHEL says:
I don’t understand why you don’t like him. He’s never done anything to you.
KEITH says:
he’s pre-packaged. that doesn’t annoy you?
RACHEL says:
I’m well adjusted. And he’s not insincere.
KEITH says:
?
RACHEL says:
Too screwed up to be insincere. And you’d like him if he WAS insincere.
RACHEL says:
Or you’d at least find him interesting. It’s his honesty that drives you crazy.
RACHEL says:
And you know it.
KEITH says:
he’s on a crusade
RACHEL says:
You’re not? ‘Worst persons,’ all your talk of hypocrisy?
KEITH says:
not the same thing. I show hypocrisy b/c it’s stupid and entertaining
KEITH says:
in a shit-we’re-all-going-to-die way
KEITH says:
he does it b/c he enjoys throwing on a cape and
KEITH says:
playing plucked and waxed superman
RACHEL says:
You done?
KEITH says:
maybe
RACHEL says:
You can’t accuse him of superficiality when he can refute you with his actual content.
RACHEL says:
He’s a good journalist.
KEITH says:
1 of the best dressed
KEITH says:
and stop capitalizing. it’s Pretentious.
RACHEL says:
sry lol ill stick to tpyos k?
KEITH says:
shut up
RACHEL says:
u luuurve him
KEITH says:
I what him?
RACHEL says:
Oooh do tell do tell!
KEITH says:
stop it you know they can access these things
RACHEL says:
Which is why you should be using your personal computer to tell me about your affair with Anderson Cooper.
RACHEL says:
Silly head.
KEITH says:
you know you’re the only one I love
RACHEL says:
Wow. The potential for awkwardness is mindboggling.
RACHEL says:
Keith, WHAT is this question?:
RACHEL says:
“Would you kill a man if it would save a plane-load of babies?”
KEITH says:
well would you?
RACHEL says:
That’s a ridiculous question.
RACHEL says:
You know you’re the only man I would kill.
KEITH says:
honored
RACHEL says:
Also Anderson might kill you during this interview.
KEITH says:
makes for great television
RACHEL says:
I’ll be sure to find a TV box to watch.
RACHEL says:
Try not to get any of his dapper on you.
RACHEL says:
I’d miss your grumpy.
KEITH says:
coming over to steal your lunch now
RACHEL says:
Oh no.
RACHEL says:
See you then.
