Counterpoint, Billy Bob is acting like a huge bitch baby and he’s out of his mind thinking that anyone on earth cares about his rockabilly band for any reason other than his celebrity status. Still a classic interview though.

CSPAM was insufferable during the 2016 elections, but the people who made it insufferable and probably like NPR have mostly vacated after the 2016 elections. Now it's filled with people who recognize that trump trying to overthrow the government of venezuela is bad, unlike NPR.

I love how they have one person be correspondents to several different categories. I can imagine someone running back and forth to different studios.

That was Education correspondent, Adolfo Guzman-Lopez, KPCC.

not empty quoting dis

but for real yeah. KQED/NPR was basically my staple when attending community college and drives to/from from like 06-09, especially back pre-podcast poo poo. increasingly i realized the succ over the years and now i ride casual carpool and standard practice is to have KQED on in the morning drive so i get to listen to it every day for like 40 minutes and sometime its just loving infuriating because its so disappointing since they can do better. whenever they invite some trump or ex-bush admin shithead or My-FAWTHER east coast nepotistic shithead running some institute to talk about "well actually locking up brown children and raping them and forbidding them from getting abortions is good" and hosts just go "ok neat, well lots of opinions out there on this one!" its like asdfksdjflasdfasd

I'm the non-white lesbian feminist comedian on the panel who constantly ruins the flow of the show by never making a single joke, but instead, reminding everyone over and over again of just how much of a non-white lesbian feminist I am. Polite applause is my drug.

I liked the one where Jad heard a story about how herd of horses all froze instantaneously in a lake and he kept trying to prove that it was possible while Robert kept calling him an idiot.
