| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome back. This is Larry Wilmore. I am Black on the air. Welcome back to my podcast. |
| 0:11.6 | Hope you had a trusty head in Goodman World Day and all that. Oh my God. We have a really good |
| 0:18.2 | show today. I said, oh my God, because of this overosampling that just happened. I'm recording this |
| 0:24.5 | Wednesday, the 29th or the 30th and horror-osampling having yesterday was amazing. But today on my show, |
| 0:32.2 | I have the brilliant writer, one of the exact producers of the Americans, Joe Fields. |
| 0:40.0 | We had the Americans, as I mentioned before, I'm sure I've mentioned her before, is my favorite |
| 0:44.4 | show on television. I got hooked on it a few years ago. I think I missed the first season or two. |
| 0:49.7 | And then I've been sitting, guys, it is an amazing show. And the season finale was last night. |

| 1:41.4 | Twitter with her caffeinated overcaffeinated racism yesterday. Actually, it wasn't even caffeinated |
| 1:48.5 | racism. It was ambien-induced racism, as she now says, which was fantastic. I don't know if you |
| 1:56.2 | guys followed that. Okay, for those of you not following the story, of course, I'm sure you've heard |
| 2:00.0 | where Roseanne compared Valerie Jarrett used to work for Obama and his administration. This is an |
| 2:06.4 | African-American woman. She said she looks like if Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a |
