This Week In Nope

A day late and a Euro short, here we are with our first-ever trans-Atlantic #Nope, recorded in Duck, North Carolina and Lisbon, Portugal. In a week that was reminiscent of a Hieronymus Bosch etching, we vomit over the White House’s decision to release a doctored propaganda video from Infowars to back up the lie that CNN’s Jim Acosta assaulted an intern (he didn’t). We also question the wisdom of Nevada’s selection of a Republican corpse for their state assembly. Rachel reports live from Web Summit, describing the imminent disruption of the popcorn-industrial-complex. Also on the docket: a five-year-old’s 15-page resume sends China into a social media panic; raccoon and mixed-animal cafes sprout up in Korea; the U.S. Embassy throws an Australian cat pajama party to improve relations; and a New Jersey therapist winds up in jail after hiring an ex-con patient to disfigure a foe “so he can’t do push-ups” (her words, not ours.)  HEAR US ON ITUNEShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/id1312654524?m
