    Nopes of the Year! And the Losers Are...

    We decided to pull together a Year in Review episode, but first had to address some pressing Nopes, like GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who is quite possibly a Russian agent. Also: the woman who breastfed a hairless cat on a Delta flight. The fancy building in Tribeca infested with rats because it has no fire-proofing in the walls, which might be an even bigger problem. And finally, an online magazine published an article with the following headline: “Joan Didion didn’t play golf, but her writing had qualities for which all golfers should strive.”  HEAR US ON ITUNES https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/ OVERCAST https://overcast.fm/itunes1312654524/this-week-in-nope  SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/07WFZhd5bgY1l1BspArfRJ STITCHER https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/this-week-in-nope SOUNDCLOUD https://soundcloud.com/user-518735966/tracks POCKET CASTS https://pca.st/SrJY  RADIO PUBLIC https://radiopublic.com/this-week-in-nope-GAOx3N  In this week’s episode:  Watch Madison Cawthorn explain how he met his wife at a Russian casino.  Read about Joan Didion’s nonexistent relationship to golf.  Big #YUP to… Don’t Look Up on Netflix  Hawksmoor Steakhouse in New York City

    Nancy Reagan: The OG Throat GOAT (feat. Glace Chase)

    This week we shut down Mark Meadows and his run-out-the-clock hail Mary strategy to evade accountability for his role in Donald Trump’s attempt to overthrow the government. Former Senate candidate Max Linn, the first person to get COVID in Maine, died in a hot tub following a dispute over (what else?) cryptocurrency. Our roving Australian correspondent, playwright Glace Chase, explains why “Throat Goat” was trending on Twitter and what this all has to do with former first lady Nancy Reagan. And finally, 40 camels in Saudi Arabia were disqualified from a beauty pageant after it was revealed that they took performance-enhancing drugs: Botox and fillers.  HEAR US ON ITUNES https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/ OVERCAST https://overcast.fm/itunes1312654524/this-week-in-nope  SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/07WFZhd5bgY1l1BspArfRJ STITCHER https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/this-week-in-nope SOUNDCLOUD https://soundcloud.com/user-518735966/tracks POCKET CASTS https://pca.st/SrJY  RADIO PUBLIC https://radiopublic.com/this-week-in-nope-GAOx3N  In this week’s episode:  Here’s the Twitter post that kicked off the whole Throat Goat conversation.  If you live in Australia, stop what you’re doing and get tickets to Glace Chase’s play, Triple X at the Sydney Theater Company.  Big #YUP to… Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder  The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow

    This week, just in time for Thanksgiving, we review the bountiful cornucopia of unusual characters running for governor next year, including Dr. Mehmet Oz (Pennsylvania) and Matthew McConaughey (Texas).

    This week, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham revealed in her memoir that a staffer known as The Music Man would blast show tunes to soothe Donald Trump’s nerves when he was going nuclear. An executive at a media company we never heard of called Ozy Media impersonated a YouTube executive on a conference call with Goldman Sachs.
