Sometimes when we talk, we don't know what the fuck, so we have to call and ask, so we have to call and ask a friend.

I want to know the things you know

It'll make a better show

You're the one on whom we all defend Hey everybody, welcome to UNFTR's phone a friend. Our guest today is Francesca Fiorentini, one of my favorite progressive political commentators. Smart, funny, insightful. Francesca

has had a colorful career as a stand-up comedian and a media commentator for several years.

Now, perhaps you saw her on her show Newsbroke on AJ Plus. Maybe you've seen her as a contributor

to the Young Turks or The Majority Report as a host of So That Happened on AMC

or hosting shows on Nat Geo. Maybe you saw her special Red, White, and Who covering the

health care crisis in America on MSNBC. Or maybe, like me, you join her every week in the

Bituation Room, her podcast and YouTube show that is growing exponentially and bringing new

audience members into the fold every day. If you're any of these things, then you are prepared

for the force of nature and funny that is Francesca. If you have yet to discover this multifaceted

talent, then, well, you're welcome. Francesca Fiorentini, I am such a huge fan, which my audience already knows. So it is a, it's, it's so great to have you here.

I was able to kind of get my fan girling out before we came on camera. So I'm done with that.

And this is a serious, serious interview now, Francesca.

There was crochet people, if you're listening.

There was a lot of homemade crafts with my face on it.

A little awkward for your boy, Max.

But no.

I do have the pillow behind me.

So good to be here.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
