What is supposed to be the April Fools joke here...?

As Tucker is wont to do, he began talking to Smith for real, asking him about his life dreams, passions and kids. Carlson mustered a bigger degree of charm than usual. Eventually Smith, bone tired from last week’s listicles and Benny Johnson‘s late-night drug-fueled GIF ideas, did the unthinkable and confessed to Carlson that he rigged the “How Gay Are You” survey on the BuzzFeed site to make him appear less gay after his own LGBT editor outed him as 75 percent gay. Carlson suppressd his laughter as much as possible. Soon the pair were giggling like schoolgirls, #FF-ing each other on Twitter and bonding over their shared affinity for hunting and campfire songs. They even prayed together, which is especially odd since Smith, who is Jewish, recently admitted on the Hugh Hewitt radio program that he doesn’t believe in God. The crying got a little much for nearby passengers who asked for eye masks.

There are, however, some internal squabbles. Such as, what will this LGBTQ section really entail? While Smith wants a hard focus on tranny issues as well as a serious unpacking on what that “Q” is all about, those inside the publication want it to be Legs, Guns, Beer, Tits and Q. Smith took issue with the “tits” section, but they’re still hashing out details, including just what the Q will be. Quail hunting was floated, but Smith didn’t seem keen on the idea. Reporter Patrick Howley attempted an “over my dead body” kind of protest to the Ben Smith hire, but it didn’t fly and Howley has been temporarily transferred to The Daily Caller‘s Togo bureau.

Negotiations are underway and are expected to be finalized by close of business Wednesday.
