For our second-ever transatlantic broadcast, Brian was holed up in a bar in the north of England and Rachel was home in New York City--and if we had had confidence that this week was not an abomination, we would have said so. To that end, we shut down Robert Mueller’s cryptically worded press conference; anarchy on Mt. Everest and an Antipodean uproar over a podcast called “The Sydney Gays.” Also on the docket: one government official compared Jews to carbon dioxide and another government official compared American soldiers to natural gas; Moby feuded with Natalie Portman over whether they dated 20 years ago (they didn’t); incels tested out a penis-enlargement procedure called “jelqing”; and finally, an act of God flooded a Noah’s Ark theme park in Kentucky. And the nopes marched in, two by two.

In this week’s episode:

Watch Robert Mueller’s 10-minute statement here.

Here’s Mandy Moore’s selfie at the summit of Mt. Everest.

This is a link to the highly controversial Australian podcast, The Sydney Gays. Listen at your own risk.

The Trump administration is systematically concealing data about climate change, framing carbon dioxide as the hero, not the villain, in their upside-down narrative.

We can’t understand the incels’ theory about the Stacys and the Chads. Maybe you will.

 

Big #YUPs to…

The Shrink Next Door. This podcast has everything: a Hamptons house with life-sized cow sculptures, a deranged therapist, a koi pond, a 40-year-old man throwing himself a bar mitzvah and grand larceny!

Brian’s shoutout in the New York Times in a listicle about subway oddities.
