E68: Michael Calamari Cheeses a Verminfluencer! (feat. Taylor Lorenz) Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

We are in desperate need of therapy. Thankfully, we were joined by Taylor Lorenz, staff writer for the Atlantic and human embodiment of the Internet, to help us unpack the horrible things that happened this week. Notably, people are monetizing their fetuses, lining up to take a selfie with an opossum, freaking out about a paper mâché sculpture called Momo, and filming themselves while hurling American cheese at their babies’ faces. Meanwhile, here in New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio committed the cardinal sin of posting a selfie with the Boston Red Sox and then earned the ire of millions of parents by declaring a snow day on a Sunday night when it wasn’t even snowing. All the while, AOC continues to trigger Republicans by riding in cars and peeling sweet potatoes.

E67: Rami Malek Eats Salad With a Comb! Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

As if trapped in the Netflix series “Russian Doll,” we keep dying and waking up in the bathroom. Recording this episode right after Michael Cohen’s congressional testimony, our heads were spinning. We nevertheless attempted to process what we saw, including the wild outburst from Congressman Chip Roy, Matt Gaetz’s thuggish Tweet and Michael Cohen’s emerging expertise in the field of ethics. Meanwhile, Trump was in Vietnam for his second summit with murderous dictator Kim Jong Un, who traveled through the Chinese countryside by train out of spite because his 40-year-old Russian aircraft is unfit for use and he didn’t want to support Air China. Also: We have breaking news about Charles Dickens, unconventional salad utensils, and some free advice for the Academy.

E66: Tucker Carlson Noshes on Filth Flies! Feb 22, 2019

Show notes

This week, Amazon’s much-ballyhooed New York City HQ2 was returned to sender faster than a Prime delivery. Meanwhile, a beige national emergency reared its MAGA-hat wearing head at Mar-a-Lago’s omelette bar. Also: Roger Stone got the smackdown from Judge Amy Berman Jackson for posting a wildly ill-conceived Instagram photo; Buzzfeed published an exposé of Blippi, a kid-friendly YouTube star with a shockingly NSFW past; an Israeli couple was fined for sending a string of emojis, including a squirrel and a comet; Tucker Carlson was dog-walked by a Dutch historian; Twitter freaked out over towels; and the Grand Canyon gift shop was displaying open containers of radioactive uranium. In other words, just a normal week in 2019.

E65: Lady Gaga Harnesses Her Ribcage! (feat. Christina Binkley) Feb 14, 2019

Show notes

It’s New York Fashion Week and it’s not just the cold weather that is keeping us from experimenting with the hottest trend at the Grammys (hint: it’s an exposed ribcage). Joined by author and fashion journalist Christina Binkley, we shut down blackface turtlenecks, mock turtlenecks, Adam’s apple turtlenecks, harnesses on the red carpet, breast pumps as a fashion statement, and a boots-on-the-ground report about how Michael Cohen is spending his last days as a free man. Also on the docket: the two disparate theories explaining what’s behind the Jeff Bezos extortion attempt; Tinder for cows; Starbucks horoscopes and the unusual story of Dina Lohan’s fiancé.

E64: Ashton Kutcher Gives Roger Stone a Manicure! (feat. Glace Chase) Feb 08, 2019

Show notes

There’s no good time to be incapacitated, but that’s what happened this week, and we’re still struggling to keep up with all the horrors. But with the help of our special guest, comedienne/playwright Glace Chase, we managed to shut down the substance, structure and guests of the State of the Union speech; a wild ATM incident in China; a man in the Netherlands embroiled in a legal battle to officially change his age; and, of course, the scandal in the Virginia legislature that combines three elements we thought we’d never see together: blackface, #metoo and the Moonwalk. Also: Rachel delivers an update on her ongoing text-message friendship with Ashton Kutcher and we respond to a particularly thorny #AskNope query about friends asking friends for online reviews.

E63: Mary Poppins Escapes from Dannemora Jan 31, 2019

Show notes

This week we find ourselves trapped in an upstate New York penitentiary of our own making. We shut down Trump’s continued insistence that he’s more intelligent than his intelligence agencies; Howard Schultz’s ill-conceived flirtation with an independent presidential run; and Gwyneth Paltrow’s violent run-in with an optometrist on the slopes of Park City. Also: technology continues to be terrible! Facebook engages in “friendly fraud” by taking money from children and gets the smackdown from Apple after running afoul of the company’s enterprise development rules. Meanwhile, a teenager in Arizona discovers a security flaw in iOS’s FaceTime; a velociraptor receptionist robot gets fired from a hotel in Japan, and Ashton Kutcher engages in a nonsensical text conversation with Rachel. Quite an eventful week.

E62: Freddie Mercury Slurps Generously Buttered Noodles! Jan 24, 2019

Show notes

It’s one of the most horrible weeks in recent memory, and we return to a nation engulfed in carnage, both human and animal. We shut down Tales from the Grift, starring former Trump fixer and aspiring sex symbol Michael Cohen; explore how the Academy has taken everything bad about the Oscars and made it worse; discuss a Swedish movie shown inside a sarcophagus; and participate in a dramatic reading of text-message correspondence between our finest living artists, Azealia Banks and Grimes. Also: a “dark web” themed fashion show featuring zebras and giraffes raises eyebrows at Paris couture week; an Upper East Side restaurant called Nello shames a businesswoman for eating alone at the bar; and a marauding British family terrorizes New Zealand.

What happens when you put 30 Nope superfans in a room with a cheese influencer and our finest living text-message dramaturgist? Your terrible week suddenly gets better! As the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history dragged on, we managed to execute our first-ever live show, in which we collectively shut down Trump’s hamburger inflation, Javanka’s “Vice” walkout, and explored how the hijacking of Brian’s Spotify account led him to develop a passion for Christian rock and Shen Yun dance performances. We also vomit over dueling Fyre Festival documentaries, the timing and content of WeWork’s rebranding, and ponder why a nine-foot sculpture of a piece of candy wrapped in the Saudi flag was installed at Ground Zero. Finally, world-renowned cheese influencer Brooke Hammerling offers plating advice while leading us through the darkness of the Birdbox Cheese Challenge, and professional songstress Glace Chase delivers an Oscar-quality interpretation of Jeff Bezos’s romantic text messages.

E60: Kevin Hart Has a Blended Orgasm at CES! Jan 10, 2019

The best thing about a cleanse is ending the cleanse--and thankfully our Trump cleanse is over. This week, Rachel reveals how the Trump administration is blocking her efforts to gain German citizenship, and we explore the technological ineptitude of Paul Manafort’s legal team and Leonardo da Vinci’s unexpected involvement in the Mueller probe. Meanwhile, the New Year’s resolution crowd is wreaking havoc at Chopt and undermining the spirit of eating salads. Also: people are blindfolding themselves for the #BirdboxChallenge and staging confusing gummy bear concerts for the #HariboChallenge; Wikifeet gets to the bottom of an AOC podiatric Instagram mystery; Saudi Arabia develops push notifications to inform women that they are divorced; Martin Scorsese finds himself embroiled in a dumpling scandal; Ellen Degeneres inserts herself in the Oscars-hosting drama and Eric Trump’s Twitter feed; and a women’s sexual health company becomes the La La Land of CES.

E59: Chrissy Teigen Marries a Hologram! Jan 03, 2019

Show notes

2019 is here and it’s already off to an abysmal start, as the major TV networks featured an anti-vaxxer and a vaginal steamer on their New Year’s Eve specials and a high-profile New York “Illuminati” party offered guests the opportunity to sip breast milk from a baby bottle. Also: a New York Times op-ed advocated abandoning smartphones in favor of sex; a Japanese school administrator married an anime hologram; a bodybuilder in England tattooed his nether regions using--what else?--a rolling pin; Kerrygold butter expanded into the music business; the TSA announced it is phasing out pointy-eared bomb-sniffing dogs; NASA gave a faraway celestial body a Nazi name; and finally, an Alabama sheriff used federal money designated for refugees to buy himself a beach house.
