E110: Lev Parnas Eyes a Tray of Pigs in Blankets!
Episode description
Defying the orders of Yamaha, we are are broadcasting this week from inside a roomy musical instrument case. We shut down the Parnassance, Rachel Brosnahan’s Blanketgate, the disgraceful snubbing of Uncut Gems from the Oscars nominations, Megxit and Brexit. Also: Yuri Geller applies for a job as a spoon-bending British spy; we get to the bottom of an abominable new trend–Fries Boards–with potato expert Riad Bekhit of Potato Parcel; and finally, we participate in a justified schmear campaign against Bill DeBlasio for wantonly boasting about toasting...a whole wheat bagel. Nope!

In this week’s episode:
If you haven’t watched Rachel Maddow’s interview with Lev Parnas, please check out the highlights here.
The question on everybody’s mind: Did Rachel Brosnahan see or did she not see a tray of pigs in blankets at a Golden Globes afterparty?
Fries boards–think charcuterie, but fries–are emerging as a huge party trend in Australia, so we talked to Riad Bekhit, Chief Potato Officer of Potato Parcel to get to the bottom of everything that is wrong with this trend.
