Rachel Dodes and Brian Hecht

Rachel Dodes and Brian Hecht are cousins who enjoy dissecting the most abominable news of the week and shutting it all down, usually over whiskey, sometimes with a guest. But don't despair...they always end with a YUP or two, beacons of hope amid all the #NOPE.

E107: Odd Trump Out! (feat. Jill Kargman)

NOPE ·

2019/12/19

On this historic day in American history, as the House of Representatives found itself in “deep yogurt,” we were joined by Friend of Nope Jill Kargman, creator and star of Bravo’s “Odd Mom Out,” author, radio host, comedian and sorceress. We explored the plight of the Undecideds, those special unicorns who have seen all the evidence yet haven’t determined how they are going to vote on impeachment, as well as Rudy Giuliani’s allegation that the Bidens were somehow involved in murdering the same

E106: The Duct-Taped Banana Drowns in Mincemeat!

NOPE ·

2019/12/12

The holidays are approaching and nothing says Christmas like a nine vote working majority, a racy cocaine Santa sweater from Walmart Canada and mincemeat pie made from actual meat! Also on the docket: Brian has boots-on-the-ground reporting about the Art Basel banana; Vox investigates Bronx Colors, the manufacturer of Trump’s orange concealer; the Peloton Husband goes public about his pain, and we puzzle over the media strategy of Boris Johnson, who spent Wednesday hiding in a refrigerator.

E105: Baby Yoda Spotted at a Jiggle Joint!

NOPE ·

2019/12/05

As Donald Trump fought with our allies in Europe, and Andrew Yang squirted whipped cream directly into his supporters’ mouths, we tried to remain focused on issues that are closer to home, such as the merits of silent haircuts, that terrible Peloton ad and the over-exposure of Baby Yoda. Also on the docket: why we love Hunter Biden. HEAR US ON ITUNES https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/this-week-in-nope/ OVERCAST https://overcast.fm/itunes1312654524/this-week-in-nope SPOTIFY

A Very Nope Thanksgiving!

NOPE ·

2019/11/28

Overwhelmed with Thanksgiving preparations, we decided to pardon ourselves this week from our typical podcasting duties. But we did introduce a new beta program, the #DailyNope, which kicked off with an unusual sunbathing trend–taint tanning. In the spirit of the season, we also offered gratitude to you, our listeners, and Icelandic raincoats.

NOPE ·

2019/11/21

Strung out from another insane day of impeachment hearings, we sat down with author, comedian and friend of the pod Lindsay Goldwert to get to the bottom of the real issues plaguing the American people: what happened to lounge singer-turned State Department official Mina Chang? Why are 30-50 feral hogs terrorizing Italy? How can it be that the entire state of South Dakota is on meth? Who is paying $1,000 a month for access to a dating app? Also on the docket: there’s more evidence that Rudy Giuliani

E102: Milli Vanilli Dates a Chicken Parm Bro!

NOPE ·

2019/11/14

While the world was focused on impeachment, it seemed like nobody was really paying attention to the story of Mina Chang, a lounge singer from Dallas who somehow wormed her way into the upper echelons of the State Department. Meanwhile, “dopamine fasting” has overtaken Silicon Valley, where–despite all evidence to the contrary–people are allegedly too happy to function. Northwestern University’s student newspaper apologized for committing acts of journalism. Finally, “chicken parm bros” have seized

E101: James Dean Gulps a Gay Iced Coffee!

NOPE ·

2019/11/08

Much like amateur zoologist Brian Fellow, we are very excited and a little bit scared this week. The trial of Roger Stone began in a typical carnival fashion, with profuse sweating, food poisoning and diarrhea. Facebook–oops, we mean FACEBOOK–banned suggestive eggplant and peach emojis. A drunk man in England attempted to have sex with a pile of leaves. Brian went on a digital gay culture walkabout involving iced coffee, chairs and parallel parking. An obscure filmmaker announced he is raising the

E100: Peter Luger Goes into Chipmunk Mode!

NOPE ·

2019/10/31

For our 100th episode, we decided to cut all of the material about Donald Trump, because we just can’t stand it anymore. Instead, we discussed other horrible topics, like Mark Zuckerberg’s Caesar haircut, the advent of Sweetgreen 3.0, the downward spiral of Peter Luger, a disco group that believes it helped the Phlippines avoid a super-typhoon, and, finally, Netflix’s foray into chipmunk mode.

NOPE ·

2019/10/24

As we enter the mob phase of the Trump presidency, we dig into the inspiring story of Pierre Delecto, the once-secret Internet persona of Mitt Romney. Rachel shares a personal story about how Countess Luann de Lesseps, of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” transformed her into a cabaret critic. We then go from hyperlocal to interstellar, shutting down everything from the chef’s mutiny at Barneys to the frequency of killer-asteroid stories published by The Daily Express. And finally, thanks to

NOPE ·

2019/10/18

Amid one of the most troubling weeks in recent memory, we were joined by Friend of Nope Lauren Goode, senior writer for WIRED and host of the Gadget Lab podcast, to shut it all down. In a rapidly escalating war of words, hobgoblin Rudy Giuliani–now the subject of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation–called former national security adviser John Bolton an “atomic bomb” in response to Bolton’s assessment that Giuliani is “a hand grenade.” Meanwhile, Joe Biden maintained his steady drumbeat of

NOPE ·

2019/10/11

Drowning in news and unable to breathe, we tried to follow “The Bachelor,” only to find out that the new bachelor smashed his face open on multiple cocktail glasses this week while playing golf. Meanwhile, the woman who claimed that meth found inside her vagina belonged to someone else finally admitted that the meth was, as everyone suspected, hers. Speaking of meth, Trump’s appearance and behavior–specifically, dilated pupils and paranoid psychosis–indicate that he may be addicted to Sudafed, a

E96: Robert De Niro Holds Gwyneth Paltrow’s Blankstrap!

NOPE ·

2019/10/03

We are so overwhelmed by the news that we’ve decided to take a step back and produce “Impeachment: the Movie,” featuring a phalanx of Republican insaniacs and the most eclectic ensemble cast of all time. While the Republicans spew conspiracy theories, the Democrats are looking to the future with real policy proposals. For example, Joe Biden is pitching a tax credit that will benefit 750 million American women. Elsewhere, a fitness instructor was sentenced to five years in prison for harassing

E95: Rudy Giuliani Comes Out as Sapiosexual!

NOPE ·

2019/09/27

The creaky gears of justice finally appear to be turning, yet everything is still terrible. We delve into the Trump-Zalensky phone call, troubles at the We Company and the fraud that is ComScore. Also on the docket: a New Jersey couple goes under the knife to correct their RBF; Mark Ronson reveals his sexual orientation (spoiler: he’s attracted to beautiful, smart women); Gucci predicts people will be wearing straitjackets next summer; and Irish Rail has an unusual explanation for their train delays

E94: Joe Biden Chokes on a Corn Pop!

NOPE ·

2019/09/19

This week, we learned that Joe Biden’s idea of a sick burn is to call someone “Esther,” as in Esther Williams, the late swimming star of the silver screen, whose heyday was in the 1950s. In Australia, a fire at a farm caused a massive bull semen explosion. The New York Times broke a bombshell story about Brett Kavanaugh, but completely botched the rollout, yet again. Disgraced White House press secretary Sean Spicer made his debut on “Dancing With the Stars” in a pirate shirt on the same day that

E93: Tim Cook Livestreams a Flamin’ Hot Cheeto!

2019/09/12

National Security Adviser John Bolton became the latest Trump Administration official to be fired via Twitter–or did he resign? We may never know. The new iPhone is finally here and it’s wreaking havoc on those struggling with a rare condition called trypophobia. Fox Searchlight, known for Oscar-bait dramas such as “12 Years a Slave” and “The Descendants,” is now bringing to the silver screen a biopic about Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. A high-school swimmer won the 100-meter race, only to be disqualified

2019/09/06

As hurricane Dorian heads to the Carolinas–not Alabama–the idea of storm size has become the new crowd size, which was once the new hand size. Meanwhile, the British government is spiraling out of control and a 73-year-old Irish folk singer is poised to invade a remote British island which is actually a rock. Dairy Queen denied that its hamburgers contain human meat, raising questions about what other types of meat are not in the burgers. Researchers at the Smithsonian identified a new species of

E91: Rihanna Trusses a Fish Turducken!

NOPE ·

2019/08/29

We returned from our summer vacations to find a nation crawling with bedbugs and lusting over a chicken sandwich. Some people were losing their minds over a recipe for a chicken quesadilla fried deep dish pizza. Others stopped bathing for health or productivity reasons (and they promise they don’t smell.) An Australian chef shared a confusing recipe for a fish turducken. Rachel went to a restaurant in Germany featuring hand soap that was inspired by a sausage. Brian went to a restaurant in New York

E90: Margot Robbie Smuggles an Octopus!

2019/08/17

It’s the dog days of summer, but for Rachel and Brian, it’s just silly season. In this politics-free episode, a woman hid meth in her vagina and a man hid cocaine in his toupee. Another woman got an octopus stuck on her face and then waited two days before going to the hospital. Men in England are paying big bucks to get wedgies in public and to clean the home of a 68-year-old dominatrix. People in Hollywood are taking out Disgrace Insurance to protect themselves from public shaming, which is

E89: Mike Pence Battles 30-50 Feral Hogs!

2019/08/08

It’s the dog days of summer, and we’ve had enough of everything: the “hard seltzer,” paid internships that require abstaining from “frosé,” tasting bacon all day and watching all 20 Marvel movies consecutively, these motherf—-ing snakes on this motherf—-ing plane. Nope to all of it. Also on the docket: we explain why everyone is talking about “30-50 feral hogs” as if they are the new generously buttered noodles. Equinox and SoulCycle are cancelled. We interview friend of the pod Ellen Gamerman about

2019/08/03

After seeing the trailer for “Top Gun: Maverick” last week, we were compelled to watch the original “Top Gun” for the very first time, and we needed some time to process what we saw. Now we’re back, amid one of the worst weeks on record, and ready to do a deep dive into the goings-on of Goose, Maverick, Iceman and, last but not least, Wolfman. Also on the docket: Marianne Williamson stole the show at the Democratic Debates; the New York Times revealed that Jeffrey Epstein planned to freeze his penis
