We know it's been a long time, we shouldn't have left you without a dope podcast to listen to…..Welcome back to Saucy but Sweet with Ali McPherson. This week we'll be diving into this complete mess of a pandemic which has led to us being isolated from our friends and family, and losing our sense of self. All of the plans we made have been halted indefinitely. It's easy to feel hopeless during this time, so this week we are going to talk about all our fears, and the downfalls but also the things we are doing to keep some sense of normalcy. This week I'm joined by Dalvin Brown, who is a journalist at USA TODAY and one of my peers at the Craig Newmark School of Journalism.

And the votes failed to re-open the government. The Senate voted on two proposals, one backed by Republicans and one backed by Democrats, but neither gained enough support.

Shannon Vavra, reporter for Axios, joins us for another failed bid to stop the longest government shutdown in history.

Everyone around the country is asking the same question… Who wrote it? After the NY Times published an anonymous Op-Ed called “I am part of the resistance inside the Trump administration,” the country was left to wonder who this “senior official” is. The news has left the President angry and isolated. Mike Snider, reporter for USA Today, joins us more on this and the flurry of denials from cabinet officials saying they are not the ones who penned the essay. Next, even after California legalized recreational marijuana sales, the illegal weed industry is booming and doing better than ever. While sales of legal marijuana will surpass illegal sales, it is estimated that the illegal market will still be worth over $2.5 billion in 2018. Hayley Fox, contributor to VICE covering the cannabis industry, joins us to talk about why no taxes and no overhead keeps the black market strong. Finally, it's been done for a long time to help with weight loss, but scientists are now looking at fasting as a way to help you live longer.
