91. Portnoy's Complaint

The Barstool Sports founder may be a douche-bro, but he's still right that the Washington Post did him dirty. Also: The clash over marriage and single parenthood, what's a society to do?

Nancy is transmitting from the Mojave Desert, Sarah is staring at the same old closet wall, and they’re glad to be reunited to talk about the other pizzagate, this one between the Washington Post and Dave Portnoy, certified douche-bro of Barstool Sports who nonetheless came out the winner in this week’s viral standoff. Other topics discussed:

  • The way the desert smalls you

  • The cringe factor of Portnoy’s phone call

  • The response piece the Washington Post SHOULD have written

  • Did Sarah dump a drink on Nora Ephron’s head?

  • Is it better to get married, and other unanswerable questions

  • What Dr. Joyce Brothers told Nancy

  • Single mothers, single women: the discomfort of being someone’s poster child

  • Gamify biology? How’s that working out?

  • Holy smokes, the cost of egg freezing

  • Sonic bad-assery
