What happens when you put 30 Nope superfans in a room with a cheese influencer and our finest living text-message dramaturgist? Your terrible week suddenly gets better! As the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history dragged on, we managed to execute our first-ever live show, in which we collectively shut down Trump’s hamburger inflation, Javanka’s “Vice” walkout, and explored how the hijacking of Brian’s Spotify account led him to develop a passion for Christian rock and Shen Yun dance performances. We also vomit over dueling Fyre Festival documentaries, the timing and content of WeWork’s rebranding, and ponder why a nine-foot sculpture of a piece of candy wrapped in the Saudi flag was installed at Ground Zero. Finally, world-renowned cheese influencer Brooke Hammerling offers plating advice while leading us through the darkness of the Birdbox Cheese Challenge, and professional songstress Glace Chase delivers an Oscar-quality interpretation of Jeff Bezos’s romantic text messages. Join us!
