Show Notes

  • — Politics As Usual: John Opdycke, who was earlier on a live political show with Chemda, and Emily Winter, creator of the Twitter accounts Feminist Bro and Feminist Donald Trump, are in studio
  • — Dot Dot Dot: The gang discusses the Golden Globes, Best Actor winner Casey Affleck’s sexual assault allegations, the night’s multiple ‘Hidden Fences’ slip-ups, Meryl Streep’s inspiring speech, and the response from Donald Trump and the president of an MMA organization.
  • — Open And Shut: John is the President of Open Primaries, an organization that fights closed primary elections. He considers New York’s primary election set-up to be a work of art in terms of not letting people vote.

  • — Onward And Upward: Emily took Women’s Studies classes in college, which helped teach her that she’s a person
  • — The Cut-Ups: Emily and Chemda have never cut themselves but they understand the impulse; however, cigarettes and lousy boyfriends probably performed the same function for them.
  • — Just Say No: John has never done cocaine because he associated it with jerky guys like Blane from Pretty in Pink
