00:11Whatever.
00:22If I was mom, what would my password be?
00:34Oh, yeah.
00:36Darling Daughter by Lindy McMichael Littlejohn.
00:39What if I told you I spent nine months building a jail, only to sentence myself to a lifetime in
00:45prison?
00:46That I've discovered is what motherhood actually is.
00:51From her adorable baby's face, those demonic eyes stare out, laughing at me.
00:56Yes, she's saying, I've ruined your fucking day again.
01:01Mommy, she cries, her voice a razor blade to my ears.
01:04I want her to call out for me.
01:06I want to be there for her.
01:07I want my maternal instinct to kick in.
01:09Why won't I?
01:10I dream of a life without a daughter sucking up the teat of inspiration, preventing me from being,
01:16fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
01:21Fuck.
01:22Mom hates me.
01:35But I thought I'd ask you just to say, what are you doing New Year?
01:44I got your invitation.
01:47A New Year's Eve brunch for me?
01:50I mean, I'm honored, but what, what, what problem is this?
01:55A new perspective.
01:57Oh.
01:58I'm embracing my six-inch self, and I realized I've been kind of a jerk.
02:05Hey, the jerk is strong, given the circumstances.
02:08See, you've been nothing but kind, Richard, and I wanted you to know I am grateful for you and your
02:16company.
02:18The course of true love never did run smell Shakespeare.
02:21No.
02:23New Year, new me.
02:25I'm sorry.
02:26Mama says it's never too late to begin again.
02:30Oh, your mom.
02:31So wise.
02:33Right?
02:33It's a new beginning.
02:34You know what else my mom said?
02:36Should we eat?
02:37It's just gonna get cold.
02:38Okay.

03:15Oh, great job.
03:18Well done.
03:18Great job.
03:19Oh, well done.
03:19Yeah, slowing the reaction down, way, way down.
03:21Help.
03:22Yes, the nuclei need time, which is acceptable to form stronger bonds.
03:27Yes, it's fundamental to, yes, for those fragile to cement those connections.
03:32Or alliances.
03:33Yes, yes, yes, yeah.
03:35Are we talking about science?
03:37Yes, Hilton.
03:39We're always talking about science.
03:40This is a lab of science.
03:42Okay, well, I heard a bang and then there was like a cheer of release, so my mind went there.
03:45Where's my head?
03:46Is there good news?
03:47It was a big win, yes.
03:48Slowing the expansion of the corn mitigated the molecular disequilibrium, yes.
03:54Translation, it's remarkable progress.
03:56Fuck yeah.
03:57We should celebrate.
03:58I'm having a New Year's Eve shing dig tonight at my place.

04:35Do you think you'll bring Lindy?
04:36Um, I don't know.
04:38I mean, it's, uh, I don't know.
04:42Hey, I've done a lot of thinking, and I'm embracing my six-inch self, so new year, new
04:48me.
04:49I forgive you for shrinking me on purpose.
04:51Meet me in the dollhouse.
04:53I have an anniversary surprise for you.
05:00Oh, the missus, she left.
05:03Was she mad?
05:05She had two glasses of wine and left.
05:07Oh, she was mad.
05:08Maybe disappointed.
05:10That's worse, isn't it?
05:13Happy New Year.

05:39Lay into me.
05:40I deserve it.
05:41You do.
05:45But I understand.
05:49You do?
05:49You're caught up in your work.
05:51And when you're in it, you can lose track of birthdays.
05:54Holidays.
05:56I know I do.
05:57Did.
05:59You supported me in the way I needed it.
06:01So, I'm supporting you.
06:07Okay.
06:09Mm-hmm.
06:09So, I was mad.
06:13I mean, I was alone in a restaurant on New Year's Eve.
06:19But then I came home and I got cozy and I was going to watch the ball drop with Lulu,
06:24but
06:24she won't come out of her room.
06:25Probably something to do with Steffi.
06:27And so I opened up a bottle of your do not touch until never wine.
06:33And now I feel better.
06:37I love you.
06:45I love you, too.
06:49I feel free to apologize profusely.
06:51And maybe next time bring me those chocolates I like from the drugstore.
06:54I am sorry and I apologize profusely for disappointing you and for forgetting our anniversary.
07:15It's like the big box.
07:17Yeah.
07:18Well, happy anniversary.
07:20Happy anniversary.
07:22All right, well, it's forgiven.

07:33No, fuck you!
07:35Hey, hey, I think this is down far enough!
07:38You know what, Richard?
07:40I think you're right.
07:48Hold on.
07:54This is not good.
07:56Oh, you think?
07:56You think?
07:57I can't believe you did this on purpose.
07:59On purpose?
08:00Why would you do that?
08:01Richard, hey, hey, hey.
08:03This is not about you.
08:03Where's my mom?
08:06No!
08:07Richard!
08:08Listen, we gotta talk about this.
08:10Let's please.
08:11No man could have resisted the siren song of that woman.
08:15The beguiling webs she weaved.
08:17The hypnotic allure of that brunch.
08:19She deceived me.
08:20She deceived both of us.
08:21No.
08:23You deceived me, Richard, for six and a half months.
08:27We share thoughts.
08:29We share science.
08:30We do not share my wife.
08:32Les, I'm sorry.
08:33Nothing else in between us.
08:34I see.
08:35Okay, you're squeezing kind of tightly.
08:38Les.
08:40Please.

09:02Oh, please, stop.
09:04My lightning, I'm going to throw off this.
09:07Please.
09:11In the name of science!
09:12I dare you, blaspheme science!
09:15No, no, no.
09:15On top of everything else.
09:16No, no, no.
09:18No, no, no, no.
09:18The intranet playmate, buddy bird.
09:20Fuck.

10:26Live in darkness!
10:52Richard?
10:56Ritchie!
11:09Richard!
11:13Ritchie!
11:21Richard!
11:27Ritchie!
11:29Ritchie!
11:31Where are you?
11:33Ritchie!
11:34I'm sorry!
11:36I know this is all my fault!
11:39Oh fuck.
11:41That is a lot of text.
11:44Wait.
11:48What?
11:50No!
11:52Oh my God!
11:53What is she?
11:56Good morning.
11:57We recently featured Pulitzer Prize winning author Lindy Littlejohn on the Read with Jenna segment of our show.
12:02We've learned Lindy's been accused of plagiarizing her recently published New Yorker short story, Untitled On Purpose.
12:09The shocking allegation originated from an unexpected and personal place, a viral TikTok video posted by the author's own daughter,
12:17Louise Littlejohn.
12:18So, my mom is a, quote, successful writer, unquote.
12:23Woo!
12:23She wrote one book, 150 years ago.
12:27Anyway, this week, out of nowhere, mom drops a short story in the New Yorker, and everyone loses their shit
12:34over it.
12:35Well, I'm gonna let you in on a big secret.
12:38My mom didn't write it.
12:41She stole it!
12:42From one of her students!
12:44What?!
12:44The actual fuck!
12:44My mom doesn't even write anymore!
12:46The actual fuck!
12:46She spends her days watching Housewives and making fake Paris Review accounts so she can shit-talk other writers!
12:52We were unable to reach Lindy Littlejohn directly for comment, but we were able to reach the author's mother, Diane
12:59McMichael Jones, who is widely suspected to have inspired the mother character in her daughter's Pulitzer Prize winning debut novel,
13:06My Rainbow Starts With Black.
13:08No, I have no comment.
13:12Except to say, I haven't read Lindy's little story, but I will say I didn't care for her portrayal of
13:18the mother character in her novel.
13:20The real crime is that Lindy made me out to be a terrible mother, which I'm not.
13:27What a wild, unexpected turn for Lindy Littlejohn.
13:31We'll continue to follow this story and keep you updated as it develops.
13:38I'm gonna let you recall it, okay?
13:40My mom didn't write it.
13:43She stole it!
13:44From one of her students!
13:46The truth is, my mom doesn't even write anymore!
13:48She spends her days watching Housewives and making fake Paris Review accounts so she can shit-talk other writers!
13:55Oh, sorry, I didn't hear my name.
13:57I didn't call it.
13:58I wanted to bring it to you personally.
14:00Oh.
14:01Okay.
14:03I also have a complicated relationship with my mother.
14:07Here.
14:07The cake pop.
14:08On me.
14:09I hope you like vanilla.
14:11Thank you, St. Lulu to Lulu.
14:22Thank you, St. Lulu to Lulu.
15:05Here's to us.
15:06I thought you were bringing in us.
15:07Fuck that us.
15:08New year, new less.
15:09Wow.
15:10Who knew?
15:11Hey!
15:11I thought you were bringing in us.
15:12No Lindy tonight?
15:14No, no.
15:14She's at home under a blanket.
15:15Not in a party mood.
15:16Oh.
15:17Well, I can't say I blame her.
15:19That interview turned into quite the Greek tragedy.
15:22But you can tell me.
15:23I won't tell anyone other than everyone.
15:27You should do it.
15:28Plagiarize the story.
15:29Oh.
15:30I don't know.
15:31What?
15:31I don't know.
15:32Right answer.
15:33Deny, deny, deny.
15:35All set for tonight?
15:36Everything is in place.
15:37Great.
15:38Oh, General.
15:40Never word.
15:40Of course.
15:42Looking forward to the party trick.
15:44Party trick?
15:45What?
15:45A performance.
15:47There are several important private equity investors here that Hilton would love to impress
15:50with a preview of your tech.
15:52Absolutely not.
15:53I am a scientist.
15:55I'm not a party clown.
15:57You know the tech is incomplete.
15:58What am I supposed to do?
15:58Fake it?
15:59No.
16:00It's just a preview.
16:01Short and sweet.
16:02The corn is small.
16:04Ta-da.
16:04The corn is big.
16:06Ta-da.
16:06End of story.
16:07It's fraud.
16:08It's sales.
16:08It's my ass in prison is what it is.
16:10I've already got a journalist poking around the lab asking questions about Bobby Explainer's
16:15medbot brother-in-law.
16:16What's to stop Niels exposing me?
16:18Let me worry about Niels and your ass.
16:22It is one worth saving.
16:24Tonight, the only thing on your mind should be Nobel.
16:29Nobel?
16:31Nobel.
16:43Nobel.
16:43Nobel.
16:45Nobel.
16:49Nobel.
16:56Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Nobel.
17:02Short and sweet, small and big.
17:08Ta-da!
17:23Hey, why are you here?
17:25Why are any of us here?
17:26Oh god, is this where we are?
17:28Um, well, everyone else is down the hall getting drunk as hell watching the tourists in Times Square freeze their
17:33asses off.
17:34We're doing a shot every time a police horse takes a dump.
17:37I need something different in my life.
17:44What's this?
17:46Something different.
17:52Did you open this?
17:53No!
17:54Yes, it's my job. My eyes than yours.
18:09Oh, fuck!
18:10What do I do?
18:12Oh, it's him! I know it!
18:14You answer it!
18:15You answer it!
18:16It's your job!
18:18I'm actually off the clock, so you answer it.
18:21Fuck!
18:28Hello, this is Terry.
18:29Yeah, it's me!
18:30It's Lindy.
18:31Oh, I'm not missing a shit show.
18:32Your phone is off.
18:34For just this reason.
18:36You're hiding from me because you failed me.
18:40No, no, no, no, no, no.
18:41You failed me!
18:43What happened to do nothing, say nothing?
18:45You don't understand.
18:47I am so small.
18:48I needed something!
18:53Well, you're about to get smaller.
18:56Lindy, the damage has been done.
18:57The Pulitzer Committee is meeting and there's talk of rescinding your award.
19:01No!
19:02No, not really.
19:04No, they can't.
19:05They can, and they most likely will.
19:08But...
19:09But why am I without it?
19:14A former client.
19:18Terry.
19:19Brutal.
19:20But warranted.
19:21Lindy, I tried. I really tried.
19:23But I'm somehow still clean in this, this, this...
19:25A shit storm, a shit sandwich, a shit needle.
19:27Shitnado.
19:29I warned you, Lindy, and you chose Jenna over me.
19:32Over our friendship, our partnership.
19:36I can't believe I'm saying this, but I...
19:45I'm officially cutting ties with you.
19:48Terry.
19:50Please, no.
19:52Please don't leave me.
19:53I...
19:54I have no one.
19:55I am totally alone here.
19:58I...
19:58My own mother.
19:59My daughter.
20:00My husband.
20:01Les fucking hates me.
20:02It is truly over between us now.
20:06And I can't lose you too.
20:11I'm sorry it's come to this.
20:24Hey, you had to. I know it's hard. I'll miss her too.
20:28Oh, um, Miss Oldham. Happy New Year.
20:30Nothing happy, nothing new.
20:32Why did you offer a Jackie Baldwin a six-figure book deal when I've seen no Jackie?
20:36No book, no email, no proposal.
20:39Sid, she has the next big thing out. Well, you better hope so.
20:42No Lindy, no Jackie, no imprint.
20:47Love the top.
20:50Paper trail, you're unclean.
20:53So are you.
20:54No.
21:13Now, I need a volunteer.
21:20Sir.
21:35That's fantastic. That's wonderful.
21:40Corn has been miniaturized into what appears to be one-tenth its original size.
21:46One-twelfth, to be precise.
21:48And now.
21:50And now.
22:18And now.
22:19Dr. Little John.
22:21It's been an explosive evening.
22:26Quick, Corn. Go.
22:33Here we are.
22:34I was just saying to, um, Dr. Schofhausen, who was expecting an explosion.
22:38How clever it was that we mitigated the explosion by storing the exothermally generated energy on a subatomic level.
22:44Yes, it was an explosive...
22:47Yes, it was an explosive...
22:51To an explosive new year!
23:07I hit rock bottom.
23:13It's all fucking gone.
23:17What is the point?
23:22It's all fucking gone.
23:28I was just-
23:28Ritchie!
23:29You're alive!
23:30Oh my God!
23:31No-no-no, you disgust me.
23:34I'm me and I'm disgusted.
23:37It consumes me.
23:38My heart, my mind, my soul.
23:41Everything hurts.
23:43Ritchie...
23:43Oh, God, I'm so sorry, but I...
23:45But.
23:46Well, but...
23:47But.
23:49A true apology should never include a qualifier.
23:53You're right.
23:55I'm sorry, no but.
23:57What I did was inexcusable.
24:01I had no idea Les was going to react like that.
24:03I didn't think it through.
24:05I suppose a reaction of that magnitude couldn't have been predicted.
24:09I need you.
24:12Now more than ever, you have no idea what has happened to me.
24:17What happened to you?
24:19Yeah, the...
24:21I have the floor.
24:23Okay.
24:24I'm going to finish my monologue.
24:25Of course.
24:27I was forced to do unspeakable things to one of God's beloved creatures.
24:32I was coerced into abandoning my moral code and playing a part in your marital folly,
24:38but I am not above reproach.
24:41I am guilty on two counts.
24:43One in the name of love, and the other...
24:46In the name of science.
24:49I believe in Les.
24:50I believe he will solve the restoration formula before his 30-day deadline,
24:55and I will beg him to forgive me.
25:00Then I will throw myself at the mercy of science in the hopes of being restored to my regular size.
25:10Did you say 30-day deadline?
25:14That is what you heard?
25:16No, no, I heard it all.
25:18The folly and the...
25:20Les and the...
25:21But...
25:22But...
25:22But...
25:23But...
25:23But what the fuck is the 30-day deadline?
25:26According to the contract, Les has 30 days.
25:28He's the sold the formula, or he's fired and the tech reverts to Hilton.
25:33He has...
25:3422 days left.
25:38He only ever had 30 days.
25:41And now he only has...
25:4222.
25:43Oh my God.
25:44Oh, it's closer to 21, actually.
25:48Another fucking lie!
25:49Oh my golly.
25:51Right?
25:52No.
25:52Wait, where are you going?
25:53I need space from you.
25:56Okay, but...
25:57I'm getting my own place.
26:04Fucking less.
26:06He is gonna pay for this.
26:13What kind of monster makes a horrible TikTok video about their own mother?
26:17You are a spoiled child, and a lying liar.
26:20Whoa!
26:21Mummy mad?
26:22If you thought that was crazy, wait until you hear...
26:26DJ Todd's remake!
26:32The mind drop, mind drop, mind drop, mind drop!
26:36Fire, fire, fire, fire.
26:40Monster, man, monster, man, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire.
26:47I'm a monster, I'm a monster, I'm a monster, and you're so much in your video.
26:52You are a secret, and I'm a liar.
26:57Who are you?
26:59What?
26:59Who are you? I don't recognize you.
27:03I'm Saint Lulu DeLulu.
27:05You gotta have that right.
27:07Hey, I read the book.
27:08How fucking Lindy was my move?
27:11Very.
27:11See?
27:13I think you missed the point.
27:15That was the point.
27:18Want another drink?
27:20Sure, boss.
27:21Me too.
27:22Face yourself to Lulu.
27:33Can I fucking help you?
27:35I don't want your help.
27:37Wow, judgment from the shirtless wonder.
27:39She's your mom.
27:40She's a liar.
27:42You'll regret it.
27:43Fuck that.
27:45I am her literal regret.
27:48You sure are living up to that title, aren't you?
28:10You good?
28:12I'm peeing.
28:15You're scrolling.
28:18Fuck off, Tarzan.
28:20No one made you come here.
28:22My bladder made me come here.
28:23You think you're so clever.
28:25I know you came here tonight to see me.
28:27Yes, this is the guy who followed me into the bathroom.
28:31What if I did?
28:32What if I did?
28:32Is that for I knew?
28:34A little.
28:37Did you buy that?
28:39I kind of wanted to.
28:40Is that bad?
28:43Kind of?
28:45But you kind of liked it.
28:48You did.
28:49You followed me in here.
28:52What's that?
29:00Lindy.
29:03Lindy.
29:04Guess who's getting his big prize?
29:14This is going to open a bottle.
29:15But not to be open, never.
29:17Me.
29:20Oh, that's Richard.
29:23Richard?
29:25Doors?
29:26Richard?
29:27Oh, God.
29:28Oh, God.
29:30Oh.
29:32Is that blood?
29:33Who's blood?
29:35Is that a human flesh?
29:37Oh, God.
29:38Richard?
29:39Richard?
29:41Richard, I'm sorry.
29:44I'm sorry.
29:46Richard?
29:46I was angry, and I was hurt, and I thought a few pecs would even score.
29:52Richard?
29:56Richard?
29:58Please?
29:59Please, Richard?
30:00Reveal yourself!
30:06Lindy?
30:30I'm going to kill the man.
30:33The man of science saw us.
30:36I'm going to kill the man.
30:44Are you anonymous?
30:46That is the only way this works.
30:54Okay.
30:57I'm not used to the Hulk-looking-tagger routine.
30:59I'm not scientific American.
31:01Do you know who I am?
31:03Yeah, you're...
31:05anonymous.
31:07You passed.
31:09Drive.
31:18Who were her?
31:24Richard?
31:26Richard!
31:27Happy New Year!
31:28Happy New Year to you two.
31:30Oh, what happened to your head?
31:33Oh, I just...
31:33I had an altercation with a bird.
31:36On the farm?
31:37Yeah, something like that.
31:39So, listen.
31:39I just wanted to say...
31:42Thank you for the quill pen.
31:44It, um...
31:45Saved my life.
31:46Well, the pen is minier than the sword.
31:49I can assess for that.
31:51Where are you?
31:52I'm at the lab in the creepy basement, uh, here to reboot the, uh, thermal energy tank.
32:00You drew the short straw again?
32:02Mm-hmm.
32:03Bob should have stepped up.
32:05Oh, yeah.
32:06It's...
32:06It's okay.
32:06I was, um...
32:07I was out anyway.
32:08Huh?
32:09You on a date?
32:11No, no.
32:12I was, um...
32:13It was a work event.
32:14You wouldn't guess where.
32:16Tell me everything.
32:18It was Hilton's mansion.
32:20He invited all of us.
32:21Me and the Bob's.
32:22Well, not the Bob's.
33:11Oh, fuck!
33:12Oh, fuck!
33:13Oh, fuck!
33:13Oh, fuck!
33:14Oh, fuck!
33:19Happy New Year, lad!
33:33Where's Richard?
33:35Who knows?
33:36Weren't you the last one to see him?
33:38How's the formula coming, huh?
33:40What, have you got 22 days left?
33:42There isn't technically 21 now.
33:45Lindy!
33:45Either way, I bet you're so close!
33:49Make that the epitaph of my tiny headstone, fucker.
33:53I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to worry you!
33:55And I'm not worried!
33:57I've accepted!
33:59You can't solve the formula!
34:01I will solve the formula!
34:02You lie even to yourself!
34:05I've made peace with being six inches tall!
34:08I even kind of like it!
34:10And I plan to make the next 21 days of your life a living hell!
34:15What?
34:16Why?
34:17Careful, sweetie.
34:18Your ass is on fire!
34:31Oh, God!
34:33I've created a tiny monster!
34:39Oh!
34:40Oh, no!
34:46Stars have claimed one of their own.
34:52It's been an honor, space colonel.
35:17I'll see your tiny cat, Dr. Little Joe.
35:20And raise you a tiny, silenced reporter.
35:28Ta-da.
35:34AHHHHH!
35:35AHHHHH!
