As we enter the mob phase of the Trump presidency, we dig into the inspiring story of Pierre Delecto, the once-secret Internet persona of Mitt Romney. Rachel shares a personal story about how Countess Luann de Lesseps, of “The Real Housewives of New York City,” transformed her into a cabaret critic. We then go from hyperlocal to interstellar, shutting down everything from the chef’s mutiny at Barneys to the frequency of killer-asteroid stories published by The Daily Express. And finally, thanks to J. Smith Cameron of “Succession,” we learned about a French scientist who has developed a creepy skin for iPhones that responds to tapping and unwanted sexual contact.
