252. Weird Manifestos, Eating the Rich, and a Happy Anniversary

Nancy and Sarah celebrate three years (!) by talking about the week's controversies, plus what "30 Greatest Living American Songwriters" gets wrong and why the woolly mammoth is back, babeeee!

It’s a special day and by some miracle, Nancy remembered: It’s SMOKE ‘EM’s third anniversary, thus making this podcast the longest committed relationship of Sarah’s life. We celebrate with a quiz, riffing on a news week that brought us a bizarre manifesto, a podcast about eating the rich, a former politician who still inspires, the latest twist in a post-Roe landscape, a mac-and-cheese heist scheme and MORE! Also: What the New York Times’ 30 Greatest American songwriters got wrong and why his name is Billy Joel.

Also discussed:

  • Sarah’s visit to Colossal Biosciences: Bring back the woolly mammoth!

  • “We’re headed into Nutville”

  • Blowing up pipelines

  • The more freedom you give people, the more freedom they want?

  • Would Sarah hate-f*ck Hasan Piker?

  • More tragic attempts to pronounce “Douthat”

  • Sarah’s first SUPERlove

  • How telehealth changed the abortion landscape

  • What would a GOOD biopic of Michael Jackson look like?

  • Shout out, Amy’s frozen dinner macaroni and cheese

  • Whither Tom Waits and Paul Westerberg?

REMINDER: Zoom hang for paid subscribers TOMORROW, Sunday, May 3, 5pm PT / 8pm ET, link sent day-of.

We have the perfect anniversary gift …
