Patrons Only: Nate Silver Vs The Internet Vs Thomas Chatterton Williams Vs David Klion
Jesse spends the first half of the episode defending Nate Silver, a beleaguered, hapless nerd on the verge of complete ruin and financial bankruptcy -- because if he doesn't, who will? Then the gang, weary of electoral politics, throws some red meat to the base: It's time to get back to internet bullshit. This particular bullshit involves the supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, too-online leftists, and the Harper's letter signatory they hate. Oh, and some really inexusable slutshaming from Katie.
