E56: Poopsie Splatters The "Holland Tonnel"!

Emerging from glamorous Art Basel, where we rubbed shoulders with everyone from former Real Housewife Kelly Bensimon to grifting Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, we’re really struggling this week to acclimate to New York's rat and diarrhea-infested subway. In addition to demystifying Miami, on this week’s episode we shut down the hottest toy of the season, Poopsie, and explore the dystopian panopticon overseen by an Elf on the Shelf.  Also: the Holland Tunnel struggles with a violent backlash to its holiday decorations; men embrace penis contouring; frenemies are orbiting and employees are ghosting. We respond to an #AskNope query about the merits of sharing business contacts with strangers and offer a hearty #Yup to incoming House Speaker/style icon Nancy Pelosi and a random straphanger who offered Brian a Metrocard. A holiday miracle!
