NOPE

This week, we are joined by friend-of-the-pod Andrew Goldman, host of LA Magazine’s podcast “The Originals,” who helped us shut down Donald Trump’s new impeachment defense team as well as the truly bizarre letter Trump wrote to SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris (aka Andrea Zuckerman of “Beverly Hills 90210”) to renounce his union membership. Finally, we uncover some shocking revelations about 90-year-old paparazzo Ron Galella and the late Marlon Brando involving rabbits and cats, respectively.

This week, we shut down Marjorie Taylor Greene, the new face of the Qpublican Party. A man’s most private parts were held hostage after his wifi-enabled chastity belt was hacked by a Bitcoin-hungry maniac. A woman was rejected via text message by a guy she was dating because he met someone who got the Covid vaccine. Meanwhile, rapper-turned-jeweler Azealia Banks dug up a dead cat, boiled it and turned its bones into earrings. And a Chinese restaurant in Montreal decided to embrace a policy of radical honesty on its menu.

This week, we are joined by TV and radio host and “Bevelations” author Bevy Smith, with whom we shut down the manufactured scandal surrounding President Biden’s Rolex, Rolling Stone magazine’s “Culture Council” and Forbes’s ill-fated 30-under-30 retreat to Bermuda. Seditious Senator Josh Hawley swooped in to defend all the helpless Karens from the predations of a woke mob, and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced she’s running for governor of Arkansas on an anti-Cancel Culture platform. Meanwhile, a former cast member of the Real Housewives of New York City shook up the New York City mayoral race by announcing her candidacy. Last but not least, we look into the men who risk it all to blow dry their nether regions.

This week, we toast to the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as we simultaneously bid farewell to the disgusting family of garbage monsters departing the White House. We speculate on Karen Pence’s future as a towel charm entrepreneur, as well as possible synergies with MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, the crackhead-turned-businessman-turned-seditionist who, according to the Daily Mail, may have been romantically involved with the actress Jane Krakowski. Finally, we delve into an emerging literary genre: Antifa fan fiction.

What a week. After we decided not to record last Wednesday because of the ongoing assault on our Democracy, we’re back to discuss the insurrection and describe the cast of coup characters like the Qanon Shaman and his pelt-clad henchmen. In the midst of the rioting, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump each accidentally dialed Sen. Mike Lee looking for another Senator–Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville–and asked him to help them in their harebrained scheme to overturn the election. Meanwhile, Trump supporters in Florida defaced a manatee and Melania Trump participated in a photo shoot about rugs. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s wife Louise Linton has a new film coming out in a few weeks in which she plays “a materialistic, narcissistic, self-absorbed, raging misanthrope” who “may or may not have an undiagnosed personality disorder.” (In other words, a biopic.) Finally, we mourn the death of Dr. Harold Bornstein, a legend in the fields of gastroenterology and literature. R.I.P.

With this week's horrific and shameful acts of terrorism in the nation's capital, we decided it's just not a week for comedy. Besides, we're exhausted. We'll be back next week, and hopefully by then Donald Trump will no longer have access to the nuclear codes.

This week, as the Great Conjunction brought Saturn and Jupiter into alignment and kicked off a new astrological epoch, we say “Bye Felicia!” to 2020. We shut down the interregnum period, Presidential pardon power and cannibal sandwiches (a Wisconsin specialty). Finally, we delve into the three best Christmas songs of all time -- and Brian treats us to a rare live performance of Mariah music theory.

This week, the Texas attorney general filed a highly unusual lawsuit to overturn the election results in four states–none of which is Texas–because why not shoot the moon? Piers Morgan was mistaken for an actress to whom he bears a striking resemblance: The Pigeon Lady from “Home Alone 2.”  Mario Lopez scored the role of a lifetime, playing Colonel Sanders in a KFC-sponsored “mini-movie” on Lifetime. And a man stuck in quarantine caused a sensation on TikTok with his haute cuisine created using nothing but hotel-room appliances.

This week, a metal monolith appeared in Southern California after visiting Northern Romania and the inside of a canyon in Utah. In possibly related news, a 7-foot sculpture of a penis went missing in Germany without a trace. An orgy in Brussels attended by government officials from nine European nations got out of hand when police arrived on the scene and were mistaken for strippers. And a woman in New Jersey resigned from her job on the Hackensack Board of Education after attending a Zoom meeting while on the toilet and failing to disable the camera or sound.
