American Nightmare is a docu-series on Netflix that has everyone talking. Sarah and Nancy are no exception! They discuss the case of the “real-life Gone Girl” who became a 2015 media sensation after her boyfriend reported a home invasion and a kidnapping with details so bizarre they couldn’t be real … or could they? (Conversation contains spoilers.) Also:

* AI Nancy: Nicer and prettier than IRL Nancy?

* Glamping in a cave

* Nancy is the Energizer Bunny of air travel

* Sarah recommends Nancy’s writing from Israel, though she’s read none of it

* Matt Welch interviews Bill Maher, need we say more?

* High-functioning daily pot smoker: Hot or not?

* Sarah’s least favorite Taylor Swift song

* Taylor Swift’s boyfriend is named … Chad?

* Knockers, milkers, fun bags, “cowboy pillows”

* Fight! Fight! (Not really a fight, but a debate about journalism)

* Lie detector tests: Mostly accurate or junk science? Yes!

* Take it from a detective: Cops do not throw chairs when questioning suspects

* Swiping right on that serial rapist

* Wait, which college scandal?

* Sarah’s journey to learn more about Vince McMahon other than the detail that he might have pooped on a woman’s head during sex

Plus: Super Bowl speculation, Michael Jackson’s moonwalk, Ben Affleck rescues hostages — and more!
