The episode, which critics are already calling a mix between a Shakespearean drama and a Saturday Night Live skit, began innocuously enough. Owens, known for her conservative viewpoints and no-nonsense approach, started the show with her trademark blend of sharp wit and controversial opinions. However, the tone quickly shifted when Lia Thomas, invited as a guest to discuss her journey as a transgender athlete, took the stage.
As Thomas began to share her story, Owens interrupted, brandishing a pool noodle she had seemingly hidden under the desk. “This is a metaphor for the absurdity we’re swimming in!” Owens exclaimed, waving the noodle with the flair of a seasoned matador. The audience, unsure whether to laugh or gasp, settled for a confused murmur.
Thomas, taken aback by the unexpected prop and Owens’ fiery demeanor, tried to steer the conversation back to her experiences and the challenges she faced. However, Owens, now standing on her chair for dramatic effect, declared, “This set is no place for wokeness! Take your pool noodle and your agenda, and swim out of here!”
