E74: Beyonce Audits Her Mashed Potatoes
Episode description
It’s been a terrible week. Things are only going to get worse when we see the Mueller report--with a rainbow of redactions--followed by the Giuliani “counter-report” that is either 150 pages, 79 pages or 35 pages long depending on the day or whom you ask. Meanwhile, a group of leading food companies have put mashed potatoes on the blockchain. Figs have revealed themselves to be homicidal maniacs. And just in time for prom, a Texas retailer is combining flowers and bread for a meme-inspired “crossaint corsage.” Also on the docket: Pepsi is partnering with a Russian satellite firm to advertise an energy drink in space, fitness instructors are invoking culinary terms as a motivational tool and, in the biggest nope of the week, Donald Trump is seeking to spy on disabled people to make sure they’re not too happy on social media.
