E106: The Duct-Taped Banana Drowns in Mincemeat! Dec 12, 2019

Show notes

The holidays are approaching and nothing says Christmas like a nine vote working majority, a racy cocaine Santa sweater from Walmart Canada and mincemeat pie made from actual meat! Also on the docket: Brian has boots-on-the-ground reporting about the Art Basel banana; Vox investigates Bronx Colors, the manufacturer of Trump’s orange concealer; the Peloton Husband goes public about his pain, and we puzzle over the media strategy of Boris Johnson, who spent Wednesday hiding in a refrigerator.

E105: Baby Yoda Spotted at a Jiggle Joint! Dec 05, 2019

Show notes

As Donald Trump fought with our allies in Europe, and Andrew Yang squirted whipped cream directly into his supporters’ mouths, we tried to remain focused on issues that are closer to home, such as the merits of silent haircuts, that terrible Peloton ad and the over-exposure of Baby Yoda. Also on the docket: why we love Hunter Biden.

A Very Nope Thanksgiving! Nov 28, 2019

Show notes

Overwhelmed with Thanksgiving preparations, we decided to pardon ourselves this week from our typical podcasting duties. But we did introduce a new beta program, the #DailyNope, which kicked off with an unusual sunbathing trend–taint tanning. In the spirit of the season, we also offered gratitude to you, our listeners, and Icelandic raincoats.

E103: The Whistleblower Haunts an AirBnb! (feat. Lindsay Goldwert) Nov 21, 2019

Show notes

Strung out from another insane day of impeachment hearings, we sat down with author, comedian and friend of the pod Lindsay Goldwert to get to the bottom of the real issues plaguing the American people: what happened to lounge singer-turned State Department official Mina Chang? Why are 30-50 feral hogs terrorizing Italy? How can it be that the entire state of South Dakota is on meth? Who is paying $1,000 a month for access to a dating app? Also on the docket: there’s more evidence that Rudy Giuliani might not be so great at tech. Finally, we talk to Lindsay about her forthcoming book, “Bow Down: Lessons from Dominatrixes on How to Get Everything You Want.”

E102: Milli Vanilli Dates a Chicken Parm Bro! Nov 14, 2019

Show notes

While the world was focused on impeachment, it seemed like nobody was really paying attention to the story of Mina Chang, a lounge singer from Dallas who somehow wormed her way into the upper echelons of the State Department. Meanwhile, “dopamine fasting” has overtaken Silicon Valley, where–despite all evidence to the contrary–people are allegedly too happy to function. Northwestern University’s student newspaper apologized for committing acts of journalism. Finally, “chicken parm bros” have seized control of the dating app Hinge.

E101: James Dean Gulps a Gay Iced Coffee! Nov 08, 2019

Show notes

Much like amateur zoologist Brian Fellow, we are very excited and a little bit scared this week. The trial of Roger Stone began in a typical carnival fashion, with profuse sweating, food poisoning and diarrhea. Facebook–oops, we mean FACEBOOK–banned suggestive eggplant and peach emojis. A drunk man in England attempted to have sex with a pile of leaves. Brian went on a digital gay culture walkabout involving iced coffee, chairs and parallel parking. An obscure filmmaker announced he is raising the dead, casting a CGI James Dean as the star of his forthcoming Vietnam action movie. Plus: Rachel caught up with her former Twitter colleague Josh Grau to process the news that they used to interact with a coworker who, according to a new indictment, was a Saudi spy.

E100: Peter Luger Goes into Chipmunk Mode! Oct 31, 2019

Show notes

For our 100th episode, we decided to cut all of the material about Donald Trump, because we just can’t stand it anymore. Instead, we discussed other horrible topics, like Mark Zuckerberg’s Caesar haircut, the advent of Sweetgreen 3.0, the downward spiral of Peter Luger, a disco group that believes it helped the Phlippines avoid a super-typhoon, and, finally, Netflix’s foray into chipmunk mode.

E99: Countess Luann Canoodles with a Cabaret Critic! Oct 24, 2019

Show notes

As we enter the mob phase of the Trump presidency, we dig into the inspiring story of Pierre Delecto, the once-secret Internet persona of Mitt Romney. Rachel shares a personal story about how Countess Luann de Lesseps, of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” transformed her into a cabaret critic. We then go from hyperlocal to interstellar, shutting down everything from the chef’s mutiny at Barneys to the frequency of killer-asteroid stories published by The Daily Express. And finally, thanks to J. Smith Cameron of “Succession,” we learned about a French scientist who has developed a creepy skin for iPhones that responds to tapping and unwanted sexual contact.

E98: Kendall Roy Beats Ron Vara Like a Drum! (feat. Lauren Goode) Oct 18, 2019

Show notes

Amid one of the most troubling weeks in recent memory, we were joined by Friend of Nope Lauren Goode, senior writer for WIRED and host of the Gadget Lab podcast, to shut it all down. In a rapidly escalating war of words, hobgoblin Rudy Giuliani–now the subject of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation–called former national security adviser John Bolton an “atomic bomb” in response to Bolton’s assessment that Giuliani is “a hand grenade.” Meanwhile, Joe Biden maintained his steady drumbeat of terrible grandpa jokes, insisting several times this week–including at the lackluster Democratic debate–that he will beat Donald Trump “like a drum.” And Trump’s China muse, Peter Navarro, has his own muse: Ron Vara, an economist Navarro is fond of quoting, even though he doesn’t exist. WeWork’s continues to unravel, and it now must contend with cancerous phone booths and dysfunctional pineapple water dispensers. Millennials are eschewing crockery and eating off tables. A Russian man is suing because he says a cryptocurrency turned him gay. And, finally, we discuss Lauren’s column about how, in the #MeToo era, the appeal of various gadgets can no longer be divorced from the creepy behavior of their inventors.
