As Miranda lite singer and Miranda these kinds of words seemed pretty harmless why did the city council vote to do this you know the city council is saying that there are laws are for everybody and that the municipal code should reflect that that it should be accurate and inclusive representation of women and non-binary people so the city council member by Joe Robinson his idea this was he said you know he acknowledges it is a small move but it matters and there's power in language and a move like this is not that out of the ordinary for Berkeley because they're known to be on the leading edge of social movements but in this case the ordinance was actually record.

You would be very happy I would be very happy but how can one life 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 Botha Hello David there are that's the comedian and writer whose new audio series aliens of extraordinary ability is out now on auto ball it's made Hakan the bureau and finally the host of them obituaries podcast his mobile 2 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 Monaca are on the day that 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 on your voicemail you ready to play and I am thrilled the play down here we go your 1st quote is from the president of the United States those are not race he was talking about some tweets he sent earlier that were totally what made Yes. Totally racist or her 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 really 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. 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 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 it's not easy it's like going back to a hellhole Yes I know. That's how they see it I understand they're from Cleveland I'm not getting in the middle of that can't give in to these horrible prejudices Mo we are you know we're all one to the president 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 the fact is you've got to give the president this he's really good at coming up with chance like lock 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 of 240. All right your next quote is from n.b.a. Star De Mar De Rosa and reacting to a photo of himself that somebody posted using something called face 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 there look over. 20 years of writing years of. 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 you 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 my own reason so I'm going to upload all my faith photos onto my dating profile think he'd be like oh and I still may be just like me because that's what all guys like. I was a big as well by Mario Maryland we don't sadly but here's the setting 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 Spidey movies who cares if it's one as long as you still drinks Martini's kills bad guys and has sex with lots of lots of women I was right or Jesse McLaren reacting to news that what movie icon will be played by a woman in the next film on. Very good day. 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 7 of the British and 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. But 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 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. Far as all the Bond girls are so it's like double No 7 Your mission is to link up with an informant for the 22 year old surfer a named octo donkey. You talk about the fans I mean the ones magic to 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 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 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. 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 Lyme disease in the morning it smells like victory Oh so it's the creature that you get like yes which is plugged thing that's like that's an implement you can go in it's like trying to make one sound of what sound then a clock tick tick. Tick tick at. The secret that's again that's the secret Pentagon program to recognize that thank you to the panel for that my joints and I have so much more direct that I know that I don't mess around I got to show that I do after the show I know because 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 to 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 I get really big. It just makes me wonder how much free time the military investigators bear if you want to put it 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 and 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 as 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 of ass made what you just started another investigation here I was.

I got Morning Edition wine Sansa sat. Here wine it's very dry but balanced. 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 record 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 that only one of them is telling the truth pick that one and you win our prize the equator of your choice ready to play ready let's 1st hear from made Hagan's it's not where you've been it's where your ass a cool saying but not one that applies to Jerry Fox the director of the Iowa Department of Human Services who's recently after resigning 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 open was at a meeting in d.c. And referred to Iowa as that lovely place by the sea. When Jimmy limp is an Iowa housing official hurried to 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 guys. I next year will 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 food city he answers I haven't seen through in years. 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 nose and that in hindsight it was unlikely he was using it to surf on Cory fields . Thank you very much every problem thank you very much actually been I was your next story of the pink slip comes from. Until June 17th 66 year old Jerry 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 Shakur. 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 2 Poc themed cookies including one decorated with the words fall. Life during his 2 years he sent 352 Pac beamed e-mails to employees when Governor Kim Reynolds asked him to resign it was one week after Fox having sent an agency wide e-mail reminding employees to Mark 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 catch for the soft goods catch for the noggins in the Pickens and capsule path and down the path of practicing because I want to talk to cop a cop but you can talk you can talk you can back or you can talk you can pick up a car you can talk all you want but it's different than it was no it ain't no what I got to know the territory. Are all. Very concepts and Firearms out to me are you state government because apparently you have his overly enthusiastic appreciation of. 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 hates core. It started with a Facebook page 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 is 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 there. Before I keep a diary. If. It even got political with a tax on ethanol fuel subsidies a lot of 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 the eyewitness that asks why the hatred of corn fatso been 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 supporters 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. He really is 66 years old and here he 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 motor Rocca his overt and perhaps over enthusiasm for the rapper Tupac Shakur or from Alonzo he just hated Quorn too much which of these were the real reasons we believe for his termination. The mower or you know the motor rocket story of the previous letter when he just said My. 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 tupac maybe I think. That was Jerry Fox elven he loves to pox uku are almost as much as he used to love Iowa state bureaucracy. Congratulations you got it right. Now. Truth be hooting about America's most embarrassing hip hop so you have won our prize the voice of your choice in your voicemail Congratulations. What about Be thankful because you. Thank. You Thank You. Thank you 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 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 Me Bianca. By the way 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 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 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 yes I did and just to be clear you knew this was not like legit This is not like a coyote having our claims 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 doorbell. The 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 and so we should say that the book obviously is a is a memoir it's nonfiction but they took some liberties with the t.v. Series which the book is a true story and the. Show takes the book puts it in a blender and puts a lot of other ingredients 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 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 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 Good Lord is a lot of left turn to see. So. As you say the challenge if you call 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 it from the commissary or borrow it you make a cross out of either smashed up graham crackers or Oreo depending on your proclivities hold on I'm writing this now you got it you need some margarine that you've stolen from the chow hall 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 your beating on down on the putting And this cheese and you also start to add an entire thing of cream or about a tall and making putting my hands about $8.00 to $10.00 or more is the powdered how to substitute not 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 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 got to get a network show either. Well Piper Kerman it is a pleasure to talk to you we have invited you here to play a game we're calling blunder this. Year you were busted and as we discussed serve time for money laundering which made us wonder how much you know about the more traditional kind of longer. 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 Bill who is Piper Kerman playing for Sophia castle of Ohio who's here with her family right thank you the ready to do this now 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 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. Courting to count that's why they say they would stick their laundry in the guys or wait for to go up the laundry would blow up in the air they pick it up and be clean that's what I would do absolutely next question 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 he walk the mile into town and had his mom do it for him. It's so easy. Yeah see you are a bomb Yeah yeah. The golden isn't that far out of town they also brought food for All right last question nowadays things of course and 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 see the loading their dirty laundry into a cargo spaceship and letting it burn up on re-entry. I think it's basically a version of disposable underwear you're exactly right these the water of the muck used the bring up the cargo ship the old laundry in the ship and let it burn up on reentry you're exactly right Bill how the piper do on our quiz she got all 3 right and I think a thank you very well done.

He pleads if this is the 3rd century. He's saying when are you going to be. Yes I want to read it now I. Guess I love dietary restrictions. Give me a clue i shall we don't know if if the phrase he used translates to ketchup Mayo or oh it's one brother telling him about a great new condiment he discovered asking for a contact that he's asking for sauce pick up for pick up the sauce exactly the letter begins meeting 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 in the way home. Would rather offers to reimburse Paula. Those days that was the name of the cow bladder you kept your coins in the sauce in question is a fish liver sausage which sounds gross but when the entree every night you want to drown it in that's. Of 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 this governor I was a pirate that originally came from Egypt it had been sitting for decades in somebodies archive and somebody took it out and translated and discovered what it was I love a fast food down. To the funny words but if you think you know you think about of the result of stone What was it it's all this writing on a slab maybe it was a menu at a drive Yeah exactly example it all up and they go oh I have a fish sauce we're all out of fish. May have made this week the website life hacker posted their advice for avoiding stress while flying we all need that their number one tip is what don't fit in the window really. Did I think you know that I was just. I did not know that it is the worst because it changes your boy and this thing. Happened to me where I was fake and then I said to the child sitting beside me I was stuck in the window so I said I felt like going 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 the law with their i Pad and their headphones and I barfed all over that thing that all of that. And then and then I turned to the times and I said. That I. I. I like the exorcist because I was like who I know who is that you are on the can't be spot on the trades on the man in front on myself somehow I am the paid parent sitting behind me I got here that somebody you see huge parts backwards and really you know it was extraordinary I was probably most I was old charming. So it's you know love and appreciate you even more me but that's not relevant to the question at hand the question was what it was a pretty large circle the number one thing you should do for a lovely relaxing easy flight don't eat pasta and pesto before you get here really 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 advising us all right I'm ready to read I yes I'll give it to whoever said 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 at night that yes I would take pink eye over red eye on e Bay now.

Hello and welcome to a special edition of Live From here where high atop the gimlet building in downtown Brooklyn thinking about how we make our show we asked you out there in radio land via social media if you had any questions for us so this is basically like a recreate of what happens sometimes when I'm walking through an airport if someone someone recognizes me now come up and ask a question about the show how it's made and I always have such a good time answering those questions that we decided to make show out of it. 2 2 will. Tell you what I. Could not finish and now the truth of the book and on the big. I'm going on the big. Leagues and the. Other men the movie goes. 6 to you were down the do. Not gambling. On the end of the day. Not only got the. Money for. The with the link. 2 to. The. The love the the. 10 you would do. You never see the. Cut down. On the field. Before they go to. Sleep. Though. The end of. The 4th. Act Carl has been right Chris the only original compositions Kallen written the week of day of hour of or on the spot during the show. I understand that probably sometimes they sound a little bit like they might be being improvised but no. No the rhythm in the week of I usually I usually start on Monday morning. Kind of combing through my the halls of my mind for stray musical thoughts I almost never just sit down and start writing from absolute scratch although that that for our show usually it's like on weeks off that I'll just kind of collect ideas I sit around and sometimes in total silence and basically close my eyes and think of music that I would like to hear that I'm not hearing and that's that's going to have the right writing process begins for me just sound the sound it sound based on rarely lyrics 1st I'm usually sounds like Do you have your instrument with you like or you like playing like a riff or a shape or something or are you just like even just in your head thinking like you know here's a tune that's like that in my head it can be sometimes it's like sometimes it's physical like you're just chasing things with your actual body you know if I'm sitting with the mandolin and I'm just. Like if I decide what I think is going to me. And you know just now that was just what was in my fingers right now or your whatever I haven't done it before necessarily. 2 then I might just kind of think about that phrase for a little while. Think about 'd over that could be. More like Could it be. You know there's just like you know kind of put an idea through its paces and see what see what ends up resonating with you but I have a follow up to this which I think a lot of people wonder which is. The song of the week is a ton of and I mean you could you have enough songs where you could just you know. Sort of dial in whatever you want to for the show that you think fits the theme but the song of the week takes so much time creative energy and it's a really like is encode be a really stressful part of the job and I think like I think it would be interesting to hear why why do you put yourself in the position of this feat every week when you could you could phone it and we've none of us would know. Well I. I set that task for myself right when I was given the job.
