Summary
Does political violence ever help a social cause? Zayd Ayers Dohrn, playwright and host of Crooked's "Mother Country Radicals," joins Offline to discuss the complicated legacy of radical activism in America. In his new book, Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young, Zayd dives even deeper into the morally ambiguous decisions made by his parents...two founding members of the notorious Weather Underground. He and Jon contemplate what activist actions lead to mass alienation vs. adoption of ideals, why a generation of Americans gravitated towards political violence in the 1970s...and why it's happening again today.

If you aren't using Zbiotics, if you're over 30 and you're having a single drink and you're not using Zibiotics, I just, I don't know what's wrong with you. You know who could use a baby. |

| 0:21.2 | I bet he's got like a tub that he swims in. |
| 0:24.1 | I mean, yeah. Allegedly. I bet he's got like a tub that he swims in. I mean, yeah, because he's so, because he's so, because despite what we read about him, he's so high functioning. He's really nailing it day by day. Zbiotics, pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration that's to blame for rough days after drinking. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break that byproduct down. Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night. |

Oh, that's a good point. Otherwise, what are they doing? I'm pretty sure they are, actually. Anyway, I'm sure your May is also packed with back-to-back reasons to be out and about. |

| 1:57.3 | If you're thinking about giving your garden a bit of a refresh, this is very good timing. |
| 2:02.0 | My garden scape at QVC is basically like having a whole garden centre, but at the touch of a button. |
