You would be very happy I would be very happy right now. That's awesome Well David let me introduce you our panel this week 1st up a comedian you can listen to on the new fear not gas it's Alonzo boat Hello day before you were on the comedian and writer whose new audio series aliens of extraordinary ability is out now on auto ball it's made Hakan Thanks for all and finally the host of them obituaries podcast his Mobutu areas live show will be at the house of independence in Asbury Park New Jersey on August 21st and stage one in Fairfield Connecticut on August 22nd it's more rock and there are the are the Welcome to the show you to play Who's Bill This Time Bill Kurtis is going to read you 3 quotations from this week's news if you can correctly identify or explain 2 of them you'll win our prize and a voice from our show you might choose in your voicemail you ready to play right here and. Here we go your. 1st quote is from the president of the United States those tweets are not the race speech he was talking about some tweets he sent earlier that were totally what. Yes. The totally racist the now the country has been arguing for some years if the president is racist or just you know racially charged or racist curious. Or merely you know where you see. It all started when Trump told for Congresswoman to go back to their countries he was just testing it if it worked he try it on millennia. Ok. You laugh it's it's cheaper than what he had to do to the last 2. So this this go back to your country thing was so unvarnished that many news organizations threw up their hands and just called it racist even n.p.r. Which stands for no please don't say racist. And n.p.r. Said this is an organization that is so even handed it covers a kick to the crotch by talking both to the crotch and the foot. The thing is to set 3 of the women were born in the United States they were I mean I gonna Presley she represents Massachusetts but she was actually born in Cincinnati now I realize that this crowd saying go back to snap he is like going back to health yes. That's how they see it I understand they're from Cleveland but getting in the middle of that can't give in to these horrible prejudices Mo we are you know we are all one the president held one of his rallies on Wednesday night and this whole thing when he started going after a lot Omar they started chanting send her back send her back that was really ugly. The for the fact is you've got to give the president this he's really good at coming up with chants like walk her out send her back the Democrats keep trying it it doesn't work with their programs free college tuition but only at public universities for qualifying applicants with no limit on family income and $220.00. The the a all right your next quote is from n.b.a. Star De Mar De Rosen reacting to a photo of himself that somebody posted using something called face at whoever started this man you know messing people's life up to Rosen was upset that face out made him like it does to everybody who uses it look. What they look older That's exactly right their look over. 20 years of writing years on the. Face up took over the Internet this week it gives you a picture of what you would look like when you are 30 years old or the images were all extraordinarily realistic they could replace the previous technology for finding out what you look like old looking at your parents. What does it mean if you run the photo through the app and you just get back a picture of a coffin. But I think I want to marry a guy who's like 30 years older than me in my own. So I'm going to upload all my faith photos on to my dating profiles and he'd be like oh and I still may be just like me because that's what all guys like. I guess by Mario now we don't sadly but here's the thing and you might have heard this too it turns out the app was made by Russian programmers the Democrats led by Chuck Schumer advised people to delete the app immediately it makes sense the Dems need to stop it the Russians use that old face technology and Joe Biden will just be a picture of a handful of dust. And sadly they already got to Bernie. Your last quote is about a big shake up in spine movies who cares if it's what money as long as she still drinks Martini's kills bad guys and has sex with lots of lots of women. That was right or Jesse McLaren reacting to news that what movie icon will be played by a woman in the next film. Very good day that. A woman will be the next James Bond or technically agent double 07 but that doesn't matter because no one cares less about distinctions like that than fans of popular movie franchises. Are also easy going. According to reports British actress Shonda Lynch will be playing agent 7 of the British m I 6 the 1st woman ever to do so James Bond though will still be around in the film he's played by Daniel Craig again but now he's retired. We all know what happened to bond he got me to do. You know that right definitely it's like it's like James you were calling this woman Pussy Galore Her name is Deborah. You know usually bond is sent to go see m. And q. And now we had to go c h r. So is he just going to be a sort of like a kindly old sort of uncle figure Well it's unclear but we hope that a female double o. 7 means there will be bond boys just as ridiculous Lee objectified while the Bond girls are so it's like 7 o 7 Your mission is to link up with an informant a 22 year old surfer a named octo donkey. You talk about the bands I mean the ones imagine the people who lost their mind over a black Little Mermaid Yeah you know when they get double 07 is a black woman they probably just died in their basement it's just it was just too much and they just keeled over Yeah Bill how did David do on our quiz David nailed it all 3 congratulations and it thanks so much for what.

A secret that's again that's the secret Pentagon program up and I. Thank you to the panel for that joint and I had so much more direct I know you don't mess around I got to show that I do after the show I know that it's been so i'm House committee is ordered an investigation into whether this happened because there's evidence to suggest that the Department of Defense may have experimented with turning tricks into military weapons because the wars of the future will not be won with bullets will be won by convincing the enemy to run through the tall grass with short so. It really big. It just makes me wonder how much free time military investigators there if you believe that you would actually listen listen we need a report we need to know if they were investigating using takes back in the sixty's .

Jeremy it's very nice to have you with us you're going to play our game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction Bill what is Jeremy's topic there actually of the Iowa Department of Human Services your fire. The state or New York Mayor Bill de Blasio lives just fired the 66 year old director of its Department of Human Services why our panelists are going to tell you that only one of them is telling the truth pick that one and you win our prize the week we've heard of your choice on your voicemail ready to play ready let's 1st hear from a Higgins It's not where you've been it's where you're asked a cool saying but not one that applies to Jerry Fox the director of the Iowa Department of Human Services who's recently after resign from his post the shocking reason for his resignation is only becoming clearer now he does not live in Iowa. Nor it turns out has he ever even been there it began when Mr Fox open was at a meeting in d.c. And referred to Iowa as that lovely place by the sea. When Jimmy limp as an Iowa housing official heard his colleagues saying that he quizzed him asking watt their state was famous for Mr Fox Hovan replied in a shaky voice Well you know Iowa the Lone Star State. How about those guys. I next year we win all of the football games that's when the newspapers picked up on that one reports of reach Mr Fox over on the phone and asked him some basic questions that anybody who lives in Iowa should know in response to the question where is through city he answers I haven't seen through in years got a great I know that he's been fired his former employees are connecting the dots when it came to having team meetings he would always video. Inference even when the meeting is happening just down the hall from his office contacted by reporters some staff mention seeing a 3rd sport in the back of a note saying that in hindsight it was unlikely he was using it to fair on Corey. I . Forgot your influence over the problem. You never actually been to Iowa Your next story of a pink slip comes from. Until June 17th 66 year old Harry Fox was I was director of Human Services that was the day after he sent an email to 4300 agency employees praising the music of the late rapper Tupac Shakur who are now Fox formerly known as the notorious director. Isn't just a fan of cheap option he was hosting weekly Tupac Friday to play his music in the office for his own birthday Fox served Tupac themed cookies including grated with the words life during his 2 years he sent 352 e-mails to employees when Governor Kim Ronald's asked him to resign it was one week after Fox heaven sent an e-mail reminding employees to Mark birthday by playing one of his songs now lest anyone think that a 66 year old Iowa loving rap is funny bear in mind that the very 1st rap was heard in the opening of the greatest American musical which was set in Iowa the music man. The cash for the fancy goods cash for the soft goods cash for the noggins in the Pickens and the brick and kept the dogs had passed and down the track was practicing because they want to talk the talk but you talk when you talk you can talk you can talk you can bicker you can talk you can pick or bicker bicker you can talk all you want but it's different than it was no way no way but you got to know the territory. Again. Ah a fox has been fired from Saddam Hussein a government because apparently you have his overly enthusiastic appreciation of Tupac secure your last story of the dishonorable discharge comes from Alonzo Boden Cherry Fox open loves Iowa he loves the state cities and towns the fields the highways he loves I was humans and he loves providing them with services which is good because he's the Iowa State Director of Human Services but there was one problem Jerry Fox opened hate score. It started with a Facebook page he called corn it's a devil's grain. Dairy posted all the reasons he hates corn it gets caught in your teeth it's hard to be Jess corn on the cob is a sloppy mess on your fingers the page grew in popularity with other haters chime in and on pop popcorn cracked my 2 if I want to know what I ate the night before I keep a diary. If. It even got political Would a tax on ethanol fuel subsidies the corn lobbies influences on Congress the problem with this is Facebook is public and when corn farmer saw the page they went straight to the governor you can't be governor of a corn state and have a senior point he hate corn Rebecca Shields a reporter from you I would guess that asks why the hatred of corn Fox open said he ate corn every day as a child and just got so sick of it he thought it would be funny to attack after the sport has joined his page it became a real thing and it spun out of his control he sighed I guess in the end corn won. All right really is a guy named Jerry Fox and. He really is 66 years old and he really was until this week the head of Human Services for the state of Iowa why was he fired. Was it because from the maid he didn't actually live in or ever been to Iowa from over Rocca his overt and perhaps over enthusiasm for the rapper Tupac Shakur or from Alonzo he just hated Quorn too much which of these was the real reasons we believe for his terminations. At the mower or you know the most rockin story of abuse yet the way he said my thank you for. All right you picked is now it's amazing because we were able to get in touch with the gentleman in question himself my favorite song by 2 Pac maybe I think. The Oh that was Jerry Fox of an he loves to pox your core almost as much as he used to love Iowa state bureaucracy. Congratulations you got it right. Through the Including about Meredith Wilson inventing hip hop so you have won our prize the voice of your choice in your voicemail congratulations thank the want thank so much for thank you. The way. The. System. And now the game where we ask people who've been through a lot to go through something else that's whole Not My Job Piper Kerman was a happy go lucky young woman when she just happened to happily go to Europe with some drug money and got unlucky gendered up serving a year in a women's prison but you know all that because she wrote a book about her experience called Orange Is The New Black which was adapted into the hit Netflix series she now spends more time in prison here in Ohio teaching writing to inmates Piper Kerman welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell. You. Thank. You Thank You Thank You Thank You. How do is it is it all is it all right that we tell people that you're here in Ohio or are you still on the run I mean I don't know what your status and I am not on the lam and yeah I've been living here in Ohio for almost 5 years it's been fantastic and. I feel I mean I've course believe that everybody knows your story but maybe not so let's go through it briefly you were a young woman living in service a fancy free this is back in the early ninety's and you had a friend who asked you to do this errand of bringing some money which was ill gotten She asked me to carry a bag of money from Chicago to Brussels right which you did so I did and just to be clear you knew this was not like legit it's not like a kind of you know frames of innocence on this and you did that and then you extricated yourself from that relationship and that life but then some years later there was a knock on your door many years later the thunderous it was actually a doorbell. Metaphorical right and to make a long and ultimately profitable story short you ended up pleading guilty to charges of money laundering and went off to Danbury state prison yes federal prison federal prison until we should say that the book obviously is and is a memoir it's nonfiction but they took some liberties with the t.v. Series that we saw a book is a true story and the. Show takes the book puts it in a blender and puts a lot of other ingredients in Yes and isn't that fantastic untasted So are you a fan of the t.v. Show I am a fan of this show and all the people all the wonderful people who make it so you're back in prison although now you are doing it as an instructor and so what are you doing exactly I teach true story writing class I teach a class in which students come in and write true stories from their own life essentially a memoir writing class and where you do I do that at the Ohio State. Reformatory for women which is right smack dab in the middle of the state and then at the Marion Correctional Institution for men do you ever teach the mindy of your famous prison recipe. They were very interested in the cheesecake recipe actually at the men's facility the women all knew how to do it I was actually amazed to read this in the book that all this cooking which I did not think was the thing that happened in prison but yeah turns out the food in the chow hall is pretty bad yeah the skills of the prisoners are much better the materials are kind of rough to work with right so you do what you can well 1st of all I did notice that you said that the food was so bad and since exercise was one of the few things you could do to spend your time you ended up at least the 1st looking pretty great you said I ran a half marathon when I was in prison that's really boring it is to do. Where do you how do you want to have fun in prison you run a half marathon around a quarter mile gravel track a lot of left turn to see. So as you say the chow in the food hall was terrible so you sort of cooking for yourselves how do you make a cheesecake in prison. To make a cheesecake in prison you need a Tupperware bowl you have to have that after purchase it from the commissary or borrow it you make a cross out of either smashed up graham crackers or Oreo depending on your proclivities. You need some margarine that you've stolen from the chow hall that is the only. In this recipe which makes it novel and notable. And then for the filling you take those kinds of cheeses that don't have to be refrigerated you need about a half cup of putting you can usually get some putting somewhere and you sort of beat those things viciously together until they're creamy and then you get a beating on. On the putting And this cheese and you also start to add and tire thing. Of crème more about tall and making putting my hands about 8 to 10 or more is the powder how true and substitute not cream or right yes you put that in there the whole container you try not to think about what's what's going it what's in there yeah right and you mix and you mix and then it actually what you have is kind of a souping mess right yes well then you take the plastic squeeze lemon and you put I would use really most of the lemon and you start to squeeze that into the mix and it tightens up I attribute whatever mysterious things are contained in nondairy creamer but it's remarkably like the texture of a New York cheesecake. And the taste you are in so it seems if you're in prison right now I know what you have got to get a Food Network. Well Piper Kerman it is a pleasure to talk to you we have invited you here to play a game we're calling longer fish. For you busted and as we've discussed serve time for money laundering which made us wonder how much you know about the more traditional kind of laundering. Answer 2 out of 3 questions about what they call closing laundering the one prize one of our listeners the voice of anyone they might like on our show on their voicemail who is Piper Kerman playing for Sophia Casa of Ohio who's here with her family right before. Going to do this. Yes. Your 1st question American pioneers had a very inventive way of dealing with dirty clothes What was it a sticking them in the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone and waiting for it to erupt the shooting of their laundry with soap shot. Or c. Just standing near a buffalo. And blaming the animal for the stink. I'm going to go with Old Faithful you're exactly right I'm. 40 going to count them like stories they say they would just stick the laundry in the guys or wait for to go up the laundry would blow out the air they pick it up and be clean that's what I would do absolutely. Next question while he was writing Walden and read David Thoreau of course shut himself off from civilization that made getting his clothes clean difficult what clever technique did throw used to get his clothes clean during his year living a coat his clothes in honey and let the bears lick them clean. Be used his philosophical insights to convince the clothes to turn away from dirt. Or c He walked the mile into town and had his mom do it for him. It's so easy to see you are all gone yeah yeah. The golden isn't that far out of town they also brought food for him all right last question nowadays things of course and laundry as with everything else it's all high tech astronauts on the International Space Station do their laundry how a laser. Be hanging them on a line outside i'm or see the loading their dirty laundry into a cargo spaceship and letting it burn up on reentry. I think it's basically a version of disposable underwear going to go and say you're exactly right now there's no water up there much easier going up. Cargo ship the old laundry in the ship and let it burn up on reentry you're exactly right Bill how did Piper do on our quiz she got all 3 right in that her where the I performed very well during the one.

Their main argument though is that you'll sleep better which makes sense except for the fact that the flight is named after what happens to you when you do not sleep. That yes I would take pink eye over red eye on e Bay Absolutely. I think the thing to do is find out what flight may visit on and I'm.
