This Week In Nope

Like a Netflix crossover special of Full House, Desperate Housewives and Orange is the New Black, the college-cheating scandal known as Operation Varsity Blues captivated and revolted us in equal measure. We are a nation of grifters and there’s no turning back! Other terrible things we shut down this week: two dead people struggle to sell a house in the Hamptons that they designed to either prolong your life or end it; scientists are resurrecting the wooly mammoth and creating hybrid chicken dinosaurs; pineapples are a wedge issue on Fox News; Lacroix blames a quarterly earnings miss on “injustice”; Trump “wins” a golf tournament that he didn’t attend, and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey appears on a podcast with an anti-vaxxer. Also: our very first Yope, standing at the intersection of Yup and Nope, centers on Mitt Romney’s unorthodox technique for blowing out birthday candles.   HEAR US ON ITUNEShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/id1312654524?mt=2 SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/07WFZhd5bgY
