150. The Biden Apocalypse, Alice Munro's Dark Past

Nancy and Sarah are back! They're talking George Clooney, Jake Tapper, Jon Stewart, and the MANY folks pressuring Biden to step down. Also: The sins of a mother, who may also be an art monster

Biden on the ropes! What’s the over-under on his time in the race? Who might replace him? Sarah and Nancy discuss the political theater of a broken system. What’s the solution? Here’s Nancy: “Let it fucking break, man.” Then, Alice Munro’s daughter reveals family secrets that cast her mother and her writing in a troubling new light.

Also discussed:

  • “Those Australians are so confused”

  • New word: Parkinsonism

  • As goes George Clooney, so goes the country …

  • Intervention time! Joe Biden, will you accept the help we’re offering today?

  • Is Jon Stewart back?

  • Kamala Harris is Out Here in These Streets

  • What if we all write-in “Michelle Obama” for president …

  • Wes Moore = a super-sexy man, and also a governor

  • Nancy on how Joe Biden can bow out with dignity

  • Alice Munro’s Runaway and a woman who can’t leave her husband, hmm

  • Art Monsters

  • Joe Biden press conference: Sarah loses a bet

Plus: The spookiness of Joyce Carol Oates, the greatness of Citizen Kane, and — ahem — Nancy names a new hot box!
