104. Love and Rockets and Whoever the Heck Parson Brown Is

Sarah and Nancy are together in New York, along with a pink tree and some confusing Christmas lyrics. In this season of love and war, we discuss:

• Which holiday standard will make us millions?

• What is “parse and brown” and what does it have to do with Christmas?

• What was Nancy’s Not Finest Hour and does it involve yelling at protestors on the Manhattan Bridge?

• Macy’s Day Parade protesters apply Super Glue directly to their hands

• Your hosts decline to “pick a lane”

• Susan Sarandon says a dumb thing, gets the boot

• Matti Friedman educates us

• Is Nancy the last person to realize her unconventional reporting from Portland might have impacted her career?

• The steep decline of family dining and the rise of solo-everything

• The younger the woman, the more they report “disrespect from the opposite sex”

• Who’s lonelier: Boomers or Gen Z?

• Sarah mixes up Leonard Cohen and Leonard Bernstein

• Nancy mixes up the actress from The Gilded Age with the actress from Deadwood

Plus, delightful new hot boxes, and a sultry money pitch you won’t want to miss.
