Teddy Swims:
I’m gonna get, I’m gonna get two McDoubles. Sometimes I add the Mac sauce to it, because that’s the vibe. And then, you know, you got to get the large fry, baby. Or I’m abig fan of the breakfast too, those little d*mn hash browns. Man, two packs of ketchup on the top. God I-.
You put it right on the top?
I could destroy a hash brown, right now, girlfriend.
Wait, you don’t dip your hash browns?
No. I mean, they’re like, kind of made, like stupid for dipping, you know, they’re like a platform for two packs of ketchup, exactly. And you do, you can even do, like the Toaster Strudel kind of swirl, you know, kind of thing, the zigzag. Hit that with a couple packs. It’s perfect.
We’re making designs with the ketchup, now? That’s crazy.
Yeah, maybe add five of them and draw your name, T-E-D-D-Y.

I want to say, oh, I think last year I got a chance to go see Ocean Alley. They had played in LA and I was just getting back from tour. And, man, Ocean Alley is so dope. Man, my tour manager’s brother was doing the lights for them. So, you know, he got us in there.

Veteran journalist Soledad O’Brien lambasted the media for its coverage of President Donald Trump, saying it has given in to “access journalism.”
The American media’s coverage of President Donald Trump has been attacked by critics who’ve felt it is too conciliatory to Trump, and Soledad O’Brien fully agrees. The veteran journalist voiced her perspective in a conversation with Variety columnist Brett Lang during a discussion of The Perfect Neighbor, a documentary film on which she serves as executive producer, at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
“The media has done a really piss poor job, to be honest,” O’Brien said to Lang about its coverage of Trump. “In a couple different ways. Framing every discussion as ‘this vs this’ is a real mistake. There is [a] lot of access journalism that has just been distressing and dismaying to watch. There are journalists I respect, but they want access. There’s a lot of countries where journalists don’t get access to their political leadership, and you can actually do a good job reporting when you’re not necessarily being invited to the dinner or having a front-row seat. In this country we are all about getting access, so we see a lot of journalists say we need to get in.” O’Brien also partially blamed the media landscape for “misinformation and disinformation,” pointing to recent headlines concerning Trump’s commentary on tariffs.
“The conversation around tariffs is hilarious if it wasn’t so pathetic,” the former CNN host said. “People have no idea what a tariff means and what the impact will be. That is a failure of journalism if people don’t understand the basics. I am hopeful we will do a better job in helping people understand the issues better instead of just pushing access to things. I’m not optimistic about it.”
O’Brien also spoke about her involvement in producing The Perfect Neighbor, which examines Florida’s controversial “stand your ground” laws. The documentary, directed by Geeta Gandbhir, focuses on the murder of Ajike Owens, a young Black mother of four who was shot by her white neighbor Susan Lorincz. “When you come in after a tragedy you are dealing with people who have been deeply impacted by such tragedy,” Gandbhir said of the film. “They are not who they were. They are changed. That was so important [to see them before]. We wanted to lead with the humanity of the community.
