NOPE

This week, Canadians got a warning not to let moose lick their cars. Donald Trump pardoned turkeys Corn and Cob as well as chicken Michael Flynn. And Flynn’s very sane lawyer Sidney Powell alleged that Georgia’s Republican Governor conspired with dead Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez to hack Dominion voting machines in order to keep Doug Collins out of the upcoming Senate runoff. Got that?

Following Joe Biden’s decisive win on Saturday, we’ve been ignoring the Nopes this week and focusing on the Yups. We discuss the Biden-Harris victory speech playlist, celebrate the heroism of Stacey Abrams and toast to MSNBC’s finest mathlete, Steve Kornacki. Finally, we delve into two strange happenings in Pennsylvania: Rudy Giuliani’s decision to host a press conference in the parking lot of a mulch business adjacent to a sex shop and a crematorium, and a Twitter scandal involving the Republican former Lehigh Valley commissioner and a relative of Patti LaBelle.

This week, even the Vatican was trying to be a moderating influence as Handmaid Amy Coney Barrett was confirmed to the Supreme Court. The Trump Administration tried to enlist an unusual constituency to get early doses of the Covid-19 vaccine: professional Santas. A small Alpine town in Switzerland became a coronavirus hotspot following a dangerous yodelling competition. Finally, we have some film criticism. Rachel gives Sofia Coppola’s new movie “On the Rocks” a big NOPE, while Brian offers a YUP to “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” starring Sacha Baron Cohen and rising superstar Maria Bakalova of Bulgaria. It’s been a terrible week, but if Joe Biden and Senate Democrats can pull off an unambiguous, sweeping victory on Tuesday, next week’s episode will consist of only YUPs.

Donald Trump went back on the campaign trail to dance it out to “Macho Man,” even though he still has Covid. Also: we explore orgies in the time of corona.

This week, as the White House remained shrouded in a cloud of Covid-19 particles and lies, Kamala Harris faced off against Mike Pence in the VP debate, which was overshadowed by the menacing presence a fly. We try our best to understand the mentality of undecided voters. In the Department of Innovation, we focus on two dangerous technologies: the “table sweater” for outdoor winter dining and a Bluetooth-enabled Qiui chastity belt, which unfortunately has some API vulnerabilities.
