Even though the COVID-19 vaccines were born of publicly-funded research, our privatized medical system has left them to for-profit companies like Pfizer to distribute, giving these private companies massive power in a time of great need. On the show this week to dive into the ways Pfizer has used and abuse its power is Financial Times global pharmaceutical correspondent Hannah Kuchler.

This week’s episode is as nourishing as they get, as chef Pati Jinich joins Jonathan to discuss cuisines along the US-Mexico border, holiday foods she associates with growing up in Mexico, and what we can learn from taking a bite out of a burrito.

Pati Jinich is a James Beard Award-winning Mexican chef who has dedicated her career to building a shared understanding between her two home countries: Mexico and the United States. Her long-running PBS series Pati’s Mexican Table has brought Mexican flavors, colors and textures into American homes and kitchens, as viewers have watched Pati thoughtfully and enthusiastically guide them through the various geographic regions of the country.

Pati is also the host of the recently released PBS Primetime special La Frontera, which highlights the unique foods and culture along the Texas-Mexico border, and has authored three cookbooks including the recently released Treasures of the Mexican Table.

You can follow Pati on Instagram and Twitter @PatiJinich, and learn more about her work at patijinich.com.

Merry Everything! As a holiday treat, we are re-releasing a Best Friends classic episode! Nicole and Sasheer go in depth on their Emmy night, talking gowns, the food, and seeing Nicole’s face so big on the screen. Then, they interview Drag Queens Katya & Trixie Mattel on their friendship! We learn about their time on Drag Race, how they were deported from Australia together, the logic behind IT. With Trixie they choose their celeb alter ego’s (Howie Mandel, Issa Rae, and Lizzo), and with Katya they discuss how painful the writing process is. Brought back together, they laugh over their different styles, being called “derpy,” interrupting to apologize for interrupting, and the masochism of waist-training.

And just like that, it’s our last episode before the holidays. Casey and Danielle are joined by the brightest of lights, writer/actress Jamie Brunton who has taken a strong dance on Sex and The City Part 900. They discuss Salt Lake in all its wedged salad glory and overstuffed luxury-filled closets and Orange County and Terry’s belief that he “looks better than he did ten years ago, due to botox.” As Danielle says, “Don’t get high on your own supply, Terry!” Wishing you a safe, healthy and happy holiday. We are grateful to you all and this community. Here’s to 2022 and even brighter days ahead (including the return of New Jersey!)

We loved her so much, Natalie Wynn is back! The youtuber and political commentator joins Jameela this week to go deep on incel culture.

Christmas cheer is near! This week, Nicole gives her predictions for the 2022 (she is now called Nicole-stradamus), and Sasheer explains penny loafers and shoulder pads. They discuss food in the air, learning how to surf, and take a quiz to see if they are more like Guinevere Beck, Or Love Quinn from You and discover if they would murder for each other! They take a second quiz (what a day!) to see what Christmas movie character would be their BFF, discuss a terrible cinnabon experience, Nicole’s desire for pink champagne cake, cookies they love, their experience seeing A Nightmare Before Christmas, how much they love Billie Eilish, and overconfident trick-or-treaters. Plus, they manifest what they want for 2022! They wrap things up by hearing from a listener why fish is not meat, and from another listener who also wears a bathing suit to bed. Plus – update – Nicole did fart today.

Here is the first quiz they took – https://www.buzzfeed.com/whitneyjefferson/are-you-more-like-guinevere-beck-or-love-quinn-from-you?origin=fil-yo
