Ep 238: Olympic retro - Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan

About this episode

The episode discusses the infamous rivalry between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan during the 1994 Olympics, highlighting the absurdity of the male figures involved.

We're back! Happy Women's History Month! We think this counts - well, specifically, Taylor thinks this counts. The main characters are women, and the men in this story are SUCH IDIOTS that it's a + for women. It's 1994, and the rivalry between Tonya Harding & Nancy Kerrigan is heating up (I know, I know). Enter Tonya's ex/current husband, Jeff, and his band of boobs (tm). It's the Olympics! It's a crime! Tonya & Nancy are INCREDIBLE athletes! Join us! Are you young enough not to know what happens? Fascinating.
