Nancy Rommelmann and Sarah Hepola are back! Talking about:
+ Why they love the Ben Dreyfuss essay "The World is Not Full of Monsters"
+ What videos they watch in the bathtub
+ "Who is Max Boot? Did he write for Gawker?"
+ And speaking of Gawker...
+ That NYT interview with 8 "conservative" men
+ Who's allowed to say the C-word (anyone!) and why they're in favor of bringing back "twat" (it's funny!)
+ The hell that are women's spas and why the one they'd open would be called Fuck Your Intentions
+ Are 100% of hitchhikers murdered by serial killers or nah?
+ Virtual romances can be intense!
+ Why Nancy is the "#1 Nancy" of the two Sarah knows. (The other is a robot.)
And much more! Listen here or on Apple or your pod-catcher of choice
