About this episode

The episode discusses various cultural topics including puzzles, recipes, and notable figures in entertainment and journalism.

It’s February, the weather is trying to kill us, the garbage hasn’t been picked up, and somehow this leads—inevitably—to Frank Sinatra insulting his fans, Catherine O’Hara being a comic genius for half a century, the Washington Post lighting itself on fire, and the uncomfortable possibility that puzzles and recipes are the last functioning pillar of American journalism. Also Jeffrey Epstein and a trio of off-color jokes. Obviously.
