    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
