Rachel Dodes and Brian Hecht are cousins who enjoy dissecting the most abominable news of the week and shutting it all down, usually over whiskey, sometimes with a guest. But don't despair...they always end with a YUP or two, beacons of hope amid all the #NOPE.

NOPE - E149: Javanka: Time to Flush Twice!
play

01/15/21 • 49 min

What a week. After we decided not to record last Wednesday because of the ongoing assault on our Democracy, we’re back to discuss the insurrection and describe the cast of coup characters like the Qanon Shaman and his pelt-clad henchmen. In the midst of the rioting, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump each accidentally dialed Sen. Mike Lee looking for another Senator–Alabama’s Tommy Tuberville–and asked him to help them in their harebrained scheme to overturn the election. Meanwhile, Trump supporters in Florida defaced a manatee and Melania Trump participated in a photo shoot about rugs. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s wife Louise Linton has a new film coming out in a few weeks in which she plays “a materialistic, narcissistic, self-absorbed, raging misanthrope” who “may or may not have an undiagnosed personality disorder.” (In other words, a biopic.) Finally, we mourn the death of Dr. Harold Bornstein, a legend in the fields of gastroenterology and literature. R.I.P.

NOPE - E125: Can't Stop the Music!
play

06/11/20 • 44 min

Just when we thought we had uncovered every possible way to die, a porn star was arrested in Spain for killing a man in a mystical ritual involving toad venom. In an overdue reckoning, several editors at traditional media outlets have resigned owing to past racist behavior as well as present dereliction of duty. Who among us could have ever imagined that the winner of the Miss Hitler beauty pageant would be a neo-Nazi? And finally, we begin our much-anticipated Summer Music Series with a deep analysis of Donald Trump’s favorite anthem: “Macho Man” by The Village People.

NOPE - We Risk it All! (feat. Bevy Smith)
play

01/28/21 • 56 min

This week, we are joined by TV and radio host and “Bevelations” author Bevy Smith, with whom we shut down the manufactured scandal surrounding President Biden’s Rolex, Rolling Stone magazine’s “Culture Council” and Forbes’s ill-fated 30-under-30 retreat to Bermuda. Seditious Senator Josh Hawley swooped in to defend all the helpless Karens from the predations of a woke mob, and former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced she’s running for governor of Arkansas on an anti-Cancel Culture platform. Meanwhile, a former cast member of the Real Housewives of New York City shook up the New York City mayoral race by announcing her candidacy. Last but not least, we look into the men who risk it all to blow dry their nether regions.

This week, Donald Trump pardoned another dead person to score political points with anti-choice activists, two maniacs won Republican Congressional primaries in Florida and Georgia, and the CEO of MyPillow is touting a new-yet-unproven miracle cure for Covid-19. A Melbourne artist is self-inseminating for a lockdown livestream performance art piece. To top it off–quite literally–we’re in the throes of a global pepperoni shortage. Finally, for our Summer Music Series we discuss another Italian adaptation, Laura Branigan’s 1984 hit, “Self Control.”

As the weather warmed up and trillions of sex-crazed Brood X cicadas emerged from the earth, we shut down Mar-a-Blogger’s latest screed against New York Attorney General Tish James and asked the only question that needs to be asked about Rep. Matt Gaetz: how is he still in Congress? Meanwhile, Scott Stringer tried to persuade us to vote for him in the NYC Mayoral primary by featuring a child named Benjamin Bridgntunnel on a large campaign postcard with no explanation of who this person was and why we should be convinced by his apparent endorsement. And finally, the New York Post made a grave error about the number of peacocks Martha Stewart has on her Connecticut farm.

2019 is here and it’s already off to an abysmal start, as the major TV networks featured an anti-vaxxer and a vaginal steamer on their New Year’s Eve specials and a high-profile New York “Illuminati” party offered guests the opportunity to sip breast milk from a baby bottle. Also: a New York Times op-ed advocated abandoning smartphones in favor of sex; a Japanese school administrator married an anime hologram; a bodybuilder in England tattooed his nether regions using--what else?--a rolling pin; Kerrygold butter expanded into the music business; the TSA announced it is phasing out pointy-eared bomb-sniffing dogs; NASA gave a faraway celestial body a Nazi name; and finally, an Alabama sheriff used federal money designated for refugees to buy himself a beach house.
