Welcome to the Storyworthy podcast.

1:09.4

Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn and Hannah Spinning.

1:21.9

Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hannah Spinning. We're coming to you from Milwaukee City Hall. A beautiful Flemish architectural building. I swear to God, I knew you were going to do that. And do you know? No, I'm just saying at first, because we should be in Washington, D.C., shouldn't we? No, no, no, no. The center of the universe is Milwaukee City Hall, featured in the opening credits of Laverne and Shirley. Yes. Wow, they dug deep, huh?

1:45.9

Yeah, no, no, no.

1:47.7

When I was a kid, I was so excited to see that, like, 0.5 seconds zoom in to City Hall.

1:53.8

It says, welcome to Milwaukee.

1:55.2

I was like, that's where I am.

1:57.0

Yeah, sometimes when my daughter watches TV, I think to myself, these are the shows that are going to be imprinted in her head as an adult, The Simpsons, number one. Yeah, well, yeah, that's good. That's still imprinted in my head. Well, that'll be, yeah, it's funny, the shows that will be imprinted that you'll later, you'll go and go, oh, that wasn't very good. Yeah. man instance, $6 million man, which I love beyond all measure. But watching it on the Stalsage Channel recently, I'm like, wow, you do have to be 11. That is so funny. I will watch Charlie's Angels when it comes on. It cracks me up. It was just so outrageous. The clothes. The clothes. All of it. Yeah, the fact that they would just pull out their guns at any

2:38.2

moment. They're private detectives, not police women, and they would just pull their guns,

2:41.6

they would just pull their guns, their shooting on the street. And then there would be like no report.

2:45.2

They would never have to say anything to anybody or, you know, bother to explain why they were firing. Well, every situation they got into put them in a sexy outfit. Oh, yeah. So they always had to be somebody else. They had to be lifeguards or they had to be. Oh, yeah. They had to be, you know, no, they had to, you know, the greatest Charlie's Angels episode ever. Of course, when you're a young man is when the three of them went undercover in a women's prison in the South. They were out of chain gang. And all the girls have like their denim shirts tied up like halter tops. Ah, that was the greatest show ever. Okay. All right. Listen, we're getting way off base, way off top. Now we're talking about American, what America wants, and America wants boobs. All right, then let's go Charlie's Angels, head for head. Look at me. I name an angel, you name an angel. Here we go. Farah Fawcett. Kate Jackson. Jacqueline Smith. Cheryl Teegs. Shelly Hack. Wait. No, Cheryl Tees wasn't one. You're thinking to Cheryl Ladd. Ha! You lost. Oh, I'm sorry. Now I get spanked by an angel. Oh, well, it's not so bad. If we were talking about 70s television, this would be completely appropriate. Right, but this has nothing to do with our topic whatsoever. Our topic tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is inside politics. Inside politics. Put on your politics. There's a big graphic behind

4:01.1

us. Donald Trump. It's crazy. When they, what is Bernie going to do next? It is so outrageous.

4:09.7

Truly, if you put on like Fox TV and turn the sound down and just watch the buffoonery going on. Oh, yeah, people yelling. And the lower, like, what do they call it, the lower third of the screen. All the information. It's not a trail. I forgot what it's called. A crawl. A crawl. The lower third and everything's coming at you and telling you what to do. It is really a zoo. Yeah, it is. And every time I see Fox News, who are the worst?
