In this episode, your co-hosts take a harrowing journey into the life, mind, and times of J.D. Vance, the Republican senator from Ohio and current vice-presidential pick of Donald Trump. You probably were introduced to Vance as the author of Hillbilly Elegy, his 2016 memoir that attempts to explain the plight of the "white working class" in places like Kentucky and Ohio, and now know him as the deranged post-liberal purveyor of insults to single women, lies about Joe Biden targeting MAGA voters with fentanyl to thin their ranks, and deranged comments about the 2020 election and Jan. 6. In short, how did Vance become so weird—and menacing? We try to answer that question by starting with a close reading of Hillbilly Elegy, and then take listeners from the end of that book through the transformations that made Vance Trump's toadie-in-chief.Sources:J.D.

Nancy is reporting from San Francisco, because your roving journos go where the story leads, whether that's a discount motel room in Fairfax, Virginia, or a 30-room mansion with a view of the Painted Ladies. First order of business is not The Verdict, but Teal Swan and recent episodes of Hulu series The Deep End, whose jaw-dropping scenes of alternate therapy have pushed Sarah from her neutrality. Embedding trauma in your lost followers is dangerous stuff. By the way, Sarah and Nancy agree you can use your sex appeal for the greater good, but that ain't what Teal Swan is doing.Now for That Verdict. How does a trial change when it has a jury? How could Heard's statement that she was “a public figure representing domestic abuse” be defamatory? Is this verdict “chilling,” as legacy media claims, or a “major victory” as Depp supporters believe? What if it's neither? Discussed: blackout drinking, revelations of the Depp-Heard therapy sessions, and why the ACLU is not covering itself in glory.Various and sundry: Sarah can't ID one Gary Cooper movie; Nancy doesn't grock what Sarah means when she asks about Maverick. Sarah finds social psychologist Jonathan Haidt's voice “fundamentally soothing”; teenage Nancy runs into Paul Newman. Sarah waxes poetic about crow's feet; Nancy explains why you should always keep tweezers in your car.Sarah goes for brooding pretty boys; Nancy likes he-men. Or something like that.Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em only gets better when you become a free or paid subscriber.Episode notes:The Deep End, documentary series about Teal Swan Sarah compares a Teal Swan group meeting to those held at Esalen (which has a pretty swank location tbh)Teal Swan addresses episode two of The Deep End:Satanic ritual abuse + hot thigh action is a thing“The Actual Malice of the Johnny Depp Trial,” by A.O.

Welcome to October! I'm excited to announce that this month's article is “Miranda's Rebellion,” by Stephanie McCrummen. You're going to love it. (Or maybe it's more accurate to say, You'll have strong feelings about it.)Featured back in March in Issue #233, “Miranda's Rebellion” explores the political transformation of a white suburban woman in Georgia and her reticence to share her new beliefs with her conservative friends and family. Here's my original blurb:The perfect Southern belle, Miranda Murphey grew up outside Augusta, Georgia, in a wealthy, religious, and conservative military family. She married her college sweetheart, who called her “Bombshell,” and has voted Republican all her life. But since the last election, Miranda has found herself making new friends, including Liz, who brandishes an RBG sticker on her cellphone. “Are you changing?” her friends and husband ask. Miranda doesn't like making people feel uncomfortable, and she loves her husband, but she feels at odds with a world she once knew. At a dinner out, Miranda has a fight with Liz, and when she gets home, she sees her husband's truck outside, and says, “I struggle with this.” It's not clear which struggle she's talking about. (22 min)A national reporter at The Washington Post, Ms. McCrummen won the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for investigative reporting. Along with Beth Reinhard and Alice Crites, Ms. McCrummen revealed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore's past sexual harassment of teenage girls and his attempts to cover up the scandal.
