Totally racist. Now the country has been arguing for some years the president is racist or just you know racially charged or racist curious. Or merely you know racy. 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. Hey. You laugh it's it's cheaper than what he had to do 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 a 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. Who used 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 snatch It's like going back to a hellhole Yes because. That's how they see I understand they're from Cleveland I'm not getting in the middle of that can't give in to these horrible prejudices no we are you know we're all one to the president Hell one of his rallies on Wednesday night and this whole thing when he started going after line Omar they started chanting send her back send her back that was really ugly the the fact is you've got to give the president this he's really good at coming up with chants like walk her up send her back Democrats keep trying it doesn't work with their programs free college tuition but only a public universities for qualifying applicants with a limit on family income is going to. Be. All right your next quote is from n.b.a. Star Demar De Rosa and reacting to a photo of himself that somebody posted using something called Face up whoever started this that man you know messing people's life up in rows and was upset that face out made him like it does to everybody who uses it look. What they look older That's exactly right they look old. 20 years 30 years old. Face out 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 like it because I want to marry a guy who's like 30 years older than me to get my own reason so I'm going to upload all my faith photos on to my dating profile think he'd be like oh nice though maybe just like me because that's what all guys like. I was like he does well by Mario I really 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 burning. Your last quote is about a big shake up in spine movies who cares if it's one of them as long as she's still drinks Martini's kills bad guys and has sex with lots of lots of women I That was writer Jesse McLaren reacting to news that what movie icon will be played by a woman in the next film on. A very good day when. A woman will be the next James Bond or technically agents 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 double 07 the British My 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 usually been sent to go see em and cute 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 ridiculously objectified. As our Bond girls are so it's like double No 7 Your mission is to link up with an informant a 22 year old surfer a named octo donkey. You talk about the fans I mean the ones Madge and the people who lost their mind over a black Little Mermaid Yeah I know when they get double 07 that's a black woman they probably just died in their basement it's Ok because 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 thanks so much but. Right now panel it is time for you to answer some questions about this week's news maven this week the House of Representatives ordered an investigation to discover if the Pentagon ever secretly tried to make what into a weapon. I can tell you 1st of all what the Pentagon is that's very good man and it's something to do with the. Whether it is not can you give me a clue can I certainly can I love the smell of a lime disease in the morning it smells like victory. So it's the creature that you get like yes which is the plug thing that's like that's an implement you can always like to make one sound as if what sound is a clock tick tick. Tick tick yes I see that that's again that's the secret to go on forever and ever I. Thank you to the panel for that my joints and I had so much more directly I know that Mr Round I got to know that about you 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 fit to military weapons because the wars of the future will not be won with bullets well be won by convincing the enemy to run through the tall grass with short so I get really big. It just makes me wonder how much free time military investigators there because I would think 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 . I would sit at my computer and play games or just make it up but yeah yeah. But when they were trying to get Castro didn't they do all sorts of they did masquerading ours and totally Wiley Coyote yeah isn't wetsuits and all that sort of thing yeah I think they sent face or something like like aggressive face they said she about aggressive fish a stick you about like a sword fish Yeah like a film exactly but with that band ass mate when he just started another investigation sure I was.

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 director of the Iowa Department of Human Services your fire I love the state where 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 only one of them is telling the truth pick that one and you'll win our prize the equator of your choice in your voicemail ready to play ready let's 1st hear from made Hagan's 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 retiring from his posts the shocking reason for his resignation is only becoming care now he does not live in Iowa. Nor it turns out has he ever even been there it began when Mr Fox opened was that amazing in d.c. And referred to as that lovely place by the sea. When Jimmy limp and housing official heard his colleagues thing that he could see him asking walk their state was famous for Mr Fox Hovan replied in a shaky voice Well you know I know the lone star state I have about those Iowa bad guys. I make sure we win all of the football games that's when the newspapers picked up on that one reports and 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. Now that he's been fired his former employees are connecting the dots when it came to having team meetings he would always video conference even when the meeting was happening just down the hall from his office contacted by reporters some staff mention seeing a surfboard in the background of a note saying that in hindsight it was unlikely he was using it to surf on cornfields. Thank you very much every problem we've never actually been I was your next story of the pink slip comes from. Until June 17th 66 year old Harry Fox show in which 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. Now Fox formerly known as the notorious v.h.s. Director. Isn't just a fan of cheap auction for he was so strong weekly Tupac Friday to play his music in the office for his own birthday Fox children served Tupac themed cookies including one decorated with the words thought. Life during his 2 years he sent 352 Poc beamed e-mails to employees when Governor Kim Reynolds asked him to resign it was one week after Fox heaven sent an e-mail reminding employees to mark 2 packs birthday by playing one of his songs now lest anyone think that a 66 year old Ireland 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. Cash for the fancy goods cash for the soft goods catch for the noggins in the Pickens and caps but all that had passed and then half of the practice is because of my foot off the top of the top but you can talk you can talk you can back or you can talk you can bicker bicker bicker you can talk all you want but it's different than it was no I don't know what I've got to know the territory. Are all. Very much as I'm far from down the aisle you state government because apparently you have his overly enthusiastic appreciation of who are your last story of a dishonorable discharge comes from Alonzo Boden Jerry Fox open loves Iowa he loves the state cities and towns the fields the highways he loves I wish 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 open door. It started with a Facebook page he called corn it's a devil's grain. Very close to all the reasons he hates corn it gets caught in your teeth it's hard to be just corn on the cob it's a sloppy mess on your fingers the page grew in popularity with other haters chime in and then pop popcorn cracked my 2 by one could know what I ate the. Before I keep a diary. If. It even got political with a tax on ethanol fuel subsidies but a corn lobby's influence is on Congress the problem with this is Facebook is public and when corn farmer sort of 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 the eyewitness 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 pager 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. 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 name 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 or from Alonzo he just hated Quorn too much which of these is the real reasons we believe for his termination. At the mower or you know it most rock history of these yes well he just sent me. All right you picked his now it's amazing because we were able to get in touch with the gentleman in question himself my favorite song by 2 o'clock maybe add to. That was Jerry Fox elven he loves to Fox uku are almost as much as he used to love Iowa state bureaucracy. Congratulations you got it right Mom was fact. Truth be rooting about America also meant to power. So you have won our prize the voice of your choice in your voice mail Congratulations. The old Ah thanks so much because you. Feel. This way. And now the game where we ask people who've been through a lot to go through something else told 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 she says 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 Me Bianca b. How do is it is it all is it all right that we tell people that you're here in Ohio are you still on the run I mean I don't know what your status and I am not on the lam and I had 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 not like a car having our 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 that thunderous. It was actually 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 isn't is a memoir it's nonfiction but they took some liberties with the t.v. Series there was 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 and 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 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 them and do you have your famous prison recipes 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 this turns out the food in a child hole is pretty bad Yeah you know 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 in prison 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 time where do you how do you want to have fun in prison you run a half marathon around a quarter mile gravel track Good Lord is a lot of left turn to see. So you but the. If you say the chalan the food hall was terrible cooking for yourself how do you make a cheesecake prison. To make a cheesecake in prison you need a Tupperware bowl you have to have that after purchase from the commissary or borrow it you make a cross out of either smashed up graham crackers or Oreo depending on your proclivities and I'm writing this down and got it you need some margarine that you've stolen from the child that is the only stolen ingredient 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 a 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 a beating on down on the putting And this cheese and you also start to add an entire thing of cream or about Paul I making putting my hands about $8.00 to $10.00 or more is the powder how dear and substitute cream or yes you put that in there at the whole container you try not to think about what's what's going in what's in there right and you mix and you mix and then actually what you have is kind of a soup in 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. You have to get a few networks to either. Well Piper Kerman it is a pleasure to talk to you we have invited you here to play a game we're calling longer this. 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 clothing laundering they want to prise one of our listeners the voice of anyone they might like on our show on their voicemail Bill who is Piper Kerman playing for Sophia of all Heil who's here with her family thank you for the ready to do this am yes. Here's 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 quote soap shot or see 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. Already going to count that's why they say they had to stick their laundry in the guys are great for to go up the laundry would blow up in the air they pick it up to be clean that's what I would absolutely that's watching while he was writing Walden Henry David Thoreau of course shot himself off from civilization that made it his clothes clean difficult what clever technique did throw use to get his clothes clean during his year living on a coat his clothes in honey and let the bears lick them clean. He used his philosophical insights to convince the clothes to turn away from dirt. Or see the walk the mile into town and had his mom do it for him. This is so easy. Yes I see you are a modern Yes Yeah. The Olden 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 by laser. Be hanging them on a line outside. Or see 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 I'm going to go and say you're exactly right it should be no longer a much easier being of thank you for 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 hand that exactly what.

He pleads this is the 3rd century is a. He's he's saying when are you going to be done. Yes I want to read it now I. Love dietary restrictions. Give me a clue we don't know if if the phrase he used translates to ketchup. Oh it's one brother telling him about a great new condiment he discovered asking for a contact asking for sauce make up for pick up the sauce exactly the letter begins reading is my Lord my incomparable brother Paulus and it goes on please bring back that sauce. It's basically a primitive form of texting somebody to pick up dinner on the way home. Rather offers to reimburse Paula Oh. Those days that was the name of the cow bladder you kept your coins in the saucer The question is a fish liver sausage which sounds gross but when the entrée every night want to drown it in that's. Course it probably wasn't real fish liver sauce you know it was just slang for wheat I And where was just discovered this is discovered in I was a pirate that originally came from Egypt it had been sitting for decades in somebody's archive and somebody took it out and translated discovered what it was I love a fast food. It was. Funny but if you think you know you think about the result what was it it's all this writing on a slab maybe it was a menu at a drive Yeah exactly For example I call up and they go oh I have a fish sauce we're all out of fish. They. Made this week the website life hacker posted their advice for avoiding stress. We all need that their number one tip is what. In the window really. Did I think you know that I was just this week I did not know that it is the worst because it changes your voice and this thing happened to me Where are you with and then I said to the title and sitting beside me I was stuck in the window. Ed I felt like I got to be sick and so I said to the try and kiss me can you just you know can I just go to the restroom you know everything nice politely right and then they took so long with their i Pad and their headphones and I barfed all over the thing at all. And then and then I turned to the Titans and I said there's George that I. Look like I like the exorcist because I was like who and who is that you are on the list on the jury it's on the man in front on myself somehow I am the paid parent sitting behind me I got him back so you see that it's a part backwards and really you know it was extraordinary I recall most was his old charming. So it's you know love it appreciate you even more me but that's not relevant to the question at hand the question was what it was a pretty good life just sort of the number one thing you should do for a lovely relaxing easy flight Dony pasta and pesto before you cavalierly I only give you a hint this this doesn't sound crazy it's only crazy to anybody who's ever done that they're advised. Oh all right I'm ready to read I yes I'll give it to whoever set it for now their argument is yes I'll take a red eye flight leaves it's a 11 pm gets in a 5 am security lines are shorter the tickets are cheaper the plane is more likely to be empty but that's because no one else is stupid enough to take the red off. 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 and so. I think the thing to do is find out what flight may visit on an. Up or. Coming up it's Lightning Fill In The Blank but 1st it's the game where you have to listen for the ride if you like to play on air call or leave a message at one AAA Wait Wait that's 188894894 Hi you're on Wait Wait Don't Tell me.

Dot org It's noon Hi there everybody Ira Glass here today's program is a remember from a long time ago the year 2000 so you know forgive any anachronisms you hear that the word a person doesn't get say very often outside of the S.A.T.'s forgive any anachronisms it's a back when the person at the center of the story still smoked. Started burning Anyway it's a great show we haven't heard in forever total favorite and are still day this month here we go. It's a gray rainy day in Paris. Of Taurus weights on the grounds of an old medieval palace now one of the most famous museums in the world. And this is the closest com I've never set foot never set foot inside. So you've looked in Paris for how long. But I still haven't visited the point why come to Paris and go to the one place where you're not allowed to smoke.

But I might remember eating something or buying something or seeing something like an accident or somebody who's really twisted up in some way and not looking at a painting. Maybe I'm wrong maybe just disqualified it for them it doesn't get any better than this but. I don't know I just from people that I know that have come here they go to live because somebody told them that they asked. For. Today in a radio program where you might.
