    For those who don't know, Sam's dad is Robert Reich, the former Labor Secretary and progressive activist with his own CZcams channel that Sam occasionally shows up in, so Sam comes from a pretty liberal family. Casting Sam as some nutty right-wing Rupert Murdoch-style conservative demagogue media mogul, this skit is basically designed to have Sam gut-bursting. Well done writers, well done.

      I had idea, but you left out acclaimed economist, and honestly "former labor secretary" doesn't do justice to one of the most respected cabinet members of the last century. not exaggerating; and it's very rare for a cabinet member other than secstate, the AG, or in worse times secdef to have that sort of lasting legacy in the mind of the public (at least, of the informed public).

      Also Sam is friends with Adam Conover who is in the leadership of the writer's guild and supported the SAG-AFTRA strike. Also also Sam has collaborated with the former First Lady Michelle Obama to direct videos for some of her social campaigns and appearances on talk shows and stuff.

If you eat too many carbs during a keto diet it might kick you off the ketosis (a process where the body generates its energy from fat rather than glucose, because there is no glucose), which might hinder your progress.
