E59: Chrissy Teigen Marries a Hologram!

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.
