Movie of the Year: 1996Fargo (feat. iFanboy's Josh Flanagan)Is Fargo (1996) Really a True Story? This week on Movie of the Year, our panel of film obsessives takes a deep dive into the Coen Brothers' legendary crime thriller, Fargo (1996). From its bleak, snow-covered landscapes to its uniquely offbeat characters, Fargo is a film that has stood the test of time. But does it have what it takes to be crowned the best movie of the year? Tune in as we dissect this darkly comedic masterpiece.The Genre of Fargo (1996): Crime, Comedy, or Both?One of Fargo (1996)'s greatest strengths is its ability to seamlessly blend genres. Is it a crime thriller? A dark comedy? A neo-noir? The film walks the tightrope between tension and absurdity, crafting a world where violent criminals, desperate schemes, and Minnesota Nice collide in unforgettable ways. Our hosts explore how Fargo defies genre conventions and why this unique blend makes it such a compelling film.For more discussions on genre-bending movies, check out our deep dive into The Big Lebowski or No Country for Old Men.The Setting of Fargo (1996): More Than Just SnowFargo (1996) isn't just a movie—it's an immersive experience of the American Midwest. Despite its title, most of the film unfolds in Minnesota, capturing the distinct speech patterns, mannerisms, and cold, barren beauty of the region. We discuss how the Coen Brothers use the setting as a character itself, influencing the tone, the story, and even the humor. Would Fargo be the same film without its chilling, small-town backdrop? We break it all down.For more insights on film settings, read our analysis of There Will Be Blood.Is Fargo (1996) a True Story? The Real vs. the FictionalFrom the opening title card claiming “This is a true story,” Fargo has left audiences debating its origins for nearly three decades. Is Fargo (1996) really based on actual events? Or was that just another Coen Brothers trick to pull us deeper into their world of deception?

Listen in as we debate its legacy, compare it to other contenders from 1996, and ultimately decide whether Marge Gunderson's world of crime and comedy is worthy of the top spot.Subscribe now and join us for this deep-dive into Fargo (1996), a film that remains just as sharp, chilling, and darkly hilarious as it was in 1996.Recommended Further Reading:IMDB - Fargo (1996)Rotten...

The presidential race has shifted dramatically and how better to get to know the new candidates than through the regional experts at That's What We Said. No, we don't know VP Harris and Gov Tim Walz — well, Kelly has met Governor Walz once, thanks to her amazing nephew Justin Smith, Disability Rights Activist. But we do know all about the California Bay Area and about Midwestern Nice. Make sense of the Democratic candidates by hearing our tales of growing up in California and the Midwest.  

Henry Lake and Chris Tubbs the concept of "Minnesota Nice", why it isn't a thing anymore, needing to step up for fellow Americans, the world of sports insiders is interesting, and Board Member of The Front Line Foundation Jim Schultz talks about the importance of their foundation.

After Tuesday's Vice-presidential debate, viewers were left feeling some nostalgia from debates past: heavy on policy, politeness, and comity. This week, Claire McCaskill is joined once again by her friend and former Senate colleague Heidi Heitkamp. They tick through the particulars from a relatively genial debate, and while it won't likely move the needle much, it exposed the two distinct faces of JD Vance. Then, former Obama chief strategist David Axelrod stops in to shed some light on what the Harris-Walz team should be laser-focused on in the final month of the campaign. And lastly, Heidi and Claire sift through three important stories emerging that could influence November, and how to navigate the impact of the stuff you can't control in any campaign.Want to listen to this show without ads?

On this flashback of Take It Personal Radio, we're hitting you with episode 19, our Atmosphere Tribute. Over the past few decades, Atmosphere has been touring the globe, making music, making fans and one member, especially, making babies. Hailing outta Minneapolis, Slug and Ant aren't just a group, they're Minnesota Nice! The slept-on beatmaker and storyteller have accumulated copious amounts of success throughout the years, so it was time Take It Personal took you on a tribute trip down Atmosphere lane. We cover the classics, the obscure, fan favorites and even some collaborations. We promise you, there will never be another Atmosphere tribute quite like this one. To further cement that, we invited Slug on the show to break bread with us.  The 2-part interview plays throughout this 4+ hour tribute show. We delve into a different side of Sean Daley. We talk family, friends, critics touring, Soundset, DJ Premier and some crazy stories like the time Rick Rubin was courting them. When you think Minnesota musicians, you immediately think of Prince, The Time, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, and probably Bob Dylan, but after this show, we have to think Atmosphere will be right there with them. ⁠www.takeitpersonalradio.com ⁠⁠www.patreon.com/TakeItPersonal⁠ Follow us on Instagram @⁠takeitpersonalradio⁠

A note from Amy about this excerpt from Tiny Altars: A Midlife RevivalEvery book, like every child, seems to arrive in its own divine timing and have its own significant birthday, and this is especially true for this memoir of history witnessed in real time. Because I had abruptly ended my teaching career midyear, I was available to be an up-close observer of a remarkable period in America, as a longtime student of 20th century German literature and film.And that's just a taste of my curriculum vitae.I always intended to release an audiobook of Tiny Altars, originally published in paperback and ebook in April 21, 2023. (On the anniversary of Prince's passing, a significant event in my book and for Minnesotans. Among other reasons.) For whatever reason, this audiobook production didn't align until early 2024. As in, it steadfastly refused to get going—until it did. All year, I've slowly but surely recorded and listened to every chapter, bringing this version to life, in collaboration with K.O. Myers at Particulate Media.Recently, K.O. and I have been weighing which chapters I'd like to excerpt here first, on my podcast.As I've revisited my own words aloud, it has fascinated me to recognize JUST HOW TIMELY AND RELEVANT this book has become in the summer of 2024. So much so that when my beloved Joe Biden (I saw him speak in Minneapolis when he was campaigning for Barack Obama's second term) stepped down from his candidacy for reelection as President of the United States, passing the torch to Kamala Harris, we both knew this was the section for me to start with. K.O. set about producing the episode for me.That was even before my beloved Minnesota Governor Tim Walz joined the ticket. You won't see his name in my book. It's too late to add him to this episode. But he's in it. Along with this, our Minnesota Nice culture, once again in the world's spotlight.Yesterday Kamala and Tim accepted the nomination, and it occurred to me that today, the third day of the DNC in Chicago, is exactly the right day to release this episode. Two notes on its content: My book is about finding personal responsibility and freedom in my American homeland, and this chapter is about my personal and political lineage.I do mention two characters. My aunt "Vivian" and my paternal grandmother "Doris" are significant elders to me.I believe that Tiny Altars, my audiobook, will premiere on October 3, 2025—leading up to the election.But we'll see!Thanks for listening now.Love, Amy Amy Hallberg is the author of Tiny Altars: A Midlife Revival and German Awakening: Tales from an American Life.

This week, the whole gang—Alan, Quinta, and Scott—got back together to discuss the week's big national security news, including:“In Post-Soviet Russia, Ukraine Invade You!” In an ironic reversal, Ukraine invaded Russia this past week, seizing substantial portions of the oblast of Kursk and surprising both Russian forces and Ukrainian allies in what appears to be its most successful military venture in more than a year. Why did Ukraine take this step? What will it mean in the longer arc of this war?“The X is for Extremism.” Since the tragic murder of three young girls earlier this month, the United Kingdom has been struck by violent riots, the perpetrators of which appear to believe (incorrectly) that the attacker in question was a Syrian asylum seeker, in substantial part due to far-right disinformation being spread by social media, including by X owner Elon Musk. What do these events tell us about the effects of disinformation and their intersection with political violence?“But Our Emails!” The Trump campaign has apparently been hacked, with internal correspondence—including a lengthy vetting paper on vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance—being leaked to reporters. The campaign has blamed Iran, but without any apparent substantiation. Is this a real possibility? Or is it another example of the disinformation—regarding crowd sizes, Kamala Harris's background, and other topics—that has become a prominent part of the campaign's messaging?Promotion: Use code RATIONALSECURITY at the link here to get an exclusive 60% off an annual Incogni plan: https://incogni.com/rationalsecurity.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Despite a party-wide effort urging Trump to pivot to policy, he just can't seem to muster the discipline to talk about any issues. And for two former Senators who know the focus it takes to win a competitive race, it's wild to watch. This week, former Senator Claire McCaskill's Senate colleague Heidi Heitkamp joins her as guest-host. After weighing the latest musings from JD Vance's audio vault, the two ‘post-menopausal grandmas' remind him that older women are still able to vote. Claire also asks Heidi to give some perspective on the unique opportunity the Harris-Walz team has to reach rural voters. Then, Cook Political Report's Dave Wasserman stops by for a deep dive into the latest Harris-Trump polling, how to understand the margin-of-error in a given sample, and how the down-ballot races are shaping up after the shift to the vice president's candidacy. Want to listen to this show without ads?

Tim Walz to be her running mate has sent a jolt of energy into Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, despite the fact that recent polling has found most Americans never even heard of him before his high-profile political ascension.

Gov. Tim Walz is in Michigan on Thursday campaigning alongside Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic presidential ticket continues barnstorming through swing states.It's only been two days since Harris chose Walz as her running mate and it may seem like his rise to the Democratic ticket happened in the blink of an eye. But as a new story in the New York Times tells it, there's been a quiet, subterranean effort, started more than a year ago, where Walz and his aides to build his national profile — and they were successful thanks to a combination of careful strategy, luck and “Minnesota Nice.”Walz was and has been demure about his political plans, until now. So to get a better understanding about his team's strategy, we wanted to talk to one of the New York Times reporters about the story out Thursday. Reid Epstein wrote and reported the story with his colleagues and he joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to explain.

Our “Thank You, Stranger” series is about the people who come into our lives and lend a little support, maybe make our days a little brighter.

Kratom, aquama, and high-dose vitamin C are potential solutions for getting off opiates and benzodiazepines. Breaking addictive cycles requires a strong desire for change and an energetic shift. Using whole plant extracts rather than isolated compounds can provide a more balanced and effective experience. Amanita is available in various forms, including capsules, sprays, gummies, and chocolates. Microdoses of Amanita range from 0.2 to 2 grams, while low doses range from 2 to 5 grams. Amanita can improve focus, emotional intelligence, and energy levels. Amanita can enhance dream recall and vividness, making it useful for dream enhancement and lucid dreaming. The Dream Herb, Colea zactichichi, is known for its potential to enhance dream recall and vividness. Silean Capensis, Blue Lotus, and Coleus zeylanicus are dream-enhancing herbs that can promote lucid dreaming. Silean Capensis is traditionally consumed in the morning by chewing a small stick of the root, while Blue Lotus is known for its calming and mood-lifting effects. Kanna is a natural antidepressant that works as an SNRI and has immediate effects. It is prescribed in South Africa and is known for its euphoric and mood-boosting properties. Consistency and intention are key when using these plant medicines, and microdosing Amanita is a good place to start for beginners. MN Nice Ethnobotanicals offers a variety of forms for these herbs, including extracts, powders, and gummies, to suit individual preferences.   Keywords: addiction, plant medicines, Amanita muscaria, opiates, benzodiazepines, kratom, aquama, vitamin C, energetic component, whole plant extracts, Amanita, herbal products, capsules, sprays, gummies, chocolates, dosing, microdoses, low doses, medium doses, strong doses, focus, emotional intelligence, energy levels, dream enhancement, lucid dreaming, Dream Herb, Colea zactichichi, dream-enhancing herbs, Silean Capensis, Blue Lotus, Coleus zeylanicus, Kanna, lucid dreaming, natural antidepressant, intention, consistency

Hello Quantum fam! We are so beyond delighted to share with you today, a conversation we recently had with Christian Rasmussen, founder of Minnesota Nice: a company on a mission to share with people the life-changing power of the Amanita Muscaria Mushroom.  While this conversation began with an intention to highlight the magic of this largely misunderstood and overlooked plant medicine, it became about so, so much more. Christian understands not only the power of of our minds, but the ways in which we all-too often loose access to that power due to trauma, addiction, and even darker energies at play.  His mission is a big one: to act as a channel through which more and more people can discover and access such a life-changing medicine.  Both Zo and I share in the episode the impact that the protocol has had on us in a short period of time, and we're thrilled to have had the privilege to chat with Christian and share his incredible story with our audience.

AI for Creatives is a podcast by Creatives for Creatives connecting art, innovation, and humanity. Segment 1: Kamilah and Nova share what they've been up to. Kamilah has been doing what she calls “strategy sessions.” She's talking to people who are experts in their fields for info and ideas, including entrepreneurs and thought leaders. It's on her Greater the Equal YouTube Channel. Nova talks about the latest conferences she's attended and spoken at and lots of travel. She also talks about the House of Nova Collective and what that entails. She talks about her first experience with “Minnesota Nice.” She also shares that her new book – The Jockey on the Horse - Take the Reins and Stay Ahead in the Age of AI – is coming soon! Nova and Kamilah talk about the abundance mindset, which segues into this week's topic. Segment 2: Nova and Kamilah start to talk about the news regarding Chat GPT 4. Four things were brought up. ·        GPT4 Turbo – which encompasses pricing and modality additions ·        Assistance API – which is more for developers looking for expanded ways to use the tool ·        Custom GPTs – you can have your own version of ChatGPT ·        AGI – Artificial General Intelligence Nova and Kamilah begin to get into it with Kamliah expanding tokens as they relate to ChatGPT4. This will make it easier to input bigger things and do more robust things. Nova explains the token equivalent of book pages (128,000 tokens = 300 pages). You can now upload outside documents. Segment 3: Kamilah talks about how they have updated ChatGPT through April of 2023. Nova agrees that more current data will be extremely useful for research and the new modalities. DALL-E being integrated is game-changing according to Nova, and she also talks about Be My Eyes. Kamilah talks about test-to-speech features. Segment 4: Nova and Kamilah begin talking about copyright and AI. ChatGPT is offering Copyright Shield for copyright issues. They're saying they'll cover the legal fees if the user is sued. Kamilah questions where the input has come from to produce the output, how that impacts copyright and legalities, and where that leaves the people bringing up legitimate suits. Is it altruistic, or meant to discourage lawsuits? Segment 5: Nova brings up the custom GPTs and how far we are from AGI. Eight or nine months after starting the show – check out the Beyond ChatGPT 4 episode – they made several accurate predictions. Kamilah considers what custom version she might need. Developers now have a majorly useful tool. Nova talks about being able to use natural language with the GPTs. Nova points out that humans, especially those with expertise, will be absolutely necessary to guide the new tools. Segment 6: Kamilah asks Nova to explain AGI – Artificial General Intelligence. The machine can perform any intellectual task that a human can. This raises many concerns for many people. It raises questions about what we humans contribute and can contribute with AI in the picture. Different perspectives and voices will be needed at the table to work out protecting and expanding knowledge and creativity in the age of AI. Conclusion: With the new tools always and constantly being developed, the right people need to be in the room with a hand in making sure its ethics and inclusivity are considered and maintained.

FX's hit show “Reservation Dogs” is coming to a close this week but in its three seasons it has been a breakthrough for Native representation in mainstream media. That's thanks, in part, to creatives who are members of Indigenous communities in Minnesota. Dallas Goldtooth, Migizi Pensoneau and Bobby Wilson, who are actors, writers and producers on the show, all hail from Dakota and Ojibwe communities in Minnesota, urban and rural. They're also all close friends and collaborators who have performed together for more than decade in the comedy group The 1491s. They spoke to Minnesota Now host Cathy Wurzer.Fans can see Wilson on Oct. 2 at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul, where he will host an artist talk at 6 p.m. in the Great Hall. For the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or read the transcript below. The transcript has been lightly edited for clarity. Note: This interview took place during the writer's strike, so the three did not talk about the show specifically. You lampoon Indian stereotypes fostered by the dominant culture and you are dead-on funny. For folks that are not familiar, describe Indian humor.Migizi Pensoneau: I think it's just humor. Indian humor is just people's humor. Bobby and I were just talking about this earlier today — because Indian country is so wide and vast, our experiences growing up in Minnesota are very different than the experiences we have written in “Reservation Dogs.” A part of that though, the reason why there is a connection all across Indian country is really we all have a similar relationship to white America … we have a lot of shared experiences with colonization in this country. So a lot of that is kind of, sardonic, Black humor, laughing in the face of genocide — that whole thing.Bobby Wilson: I shouldn't call it always in opposition to, but it is often critical of the interactions with non-Indigenous people, as Migizi said, in colonization and things around that.How did growing up in Minnesota play into your comedy, in your storytelling or your experiences? Dallas Goldtooth: I claim that I grew up both on the south side of Minneapolis during the summers with my dad and Migizi and everything, but in the school year, I lived down in southwest Minnesota. A lot of our comedy is heavily influenced by how we interact with the greater settler society.I grew up around farm kids. It was a bunch of Indians surrounded by a bunch of white farm kids in southwest Minnesota and the constant interaction with “Minnesota Nice” and how uncomfortable white folks get in Minnesota about certain issues is hilarious to me. I think that it has influenced me and has encouraged me to always be willing to push the buttons because I imagine what would make a white Lutheran in central Minnesota uncomfortable and let's go for that.What do you mean by that?Dallas Goldtooth: Having grown up in Minnesota, I feel like there's a certain expectation about what can be talked about in the public space and what shouldn't be talked about. We as Native people in Minnesota are on the fringes as it is. Whether we're invisible or we're the tourist icons that people like to go visit up north for their summer cottages, either way, we're not seen as a part of that mainstream and so I feel like I have greater liberties to critique, make fun or tease the culture that I'm surrounded by. Bobby Wilson: This is why I love the creative consortium that the three of us have — additionally with some of our other friends who aren't from Minnesota — is the differences in the spaces we grew up in. For me, I grew up around the Twin Cities, bounced around a lot of shelters, lived in a lot of people's basements on some air mattresses, you know.My interactions with white settler society across the Twin Cities has predominantly been systemic. I was sentenced to a boy's home for a couple of years and I had the privilege of writing about it for “Reservation Dogs” season two. That Minnesota nice thing is always a — I hate it. I hate it so very much because I always associate it with a state trooper beating my face in and then kind of blaming me for it and being like, well, you know, “I'm not the bad guy here.” And simultaneously also just as an artist working within a lot of the art spaces around the Twin Cities, Juxtaposition Arts, COMPAS arts, over most of my youth — it really influenced sort of the way that I can interact with it. Dallas Goldtooth: I never realized this, but between the three of us we have a commonality of having lived in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities area and we have family who lives there. I predominantly grew up in southwest Minnesota, Migizi is northern Minnesota, Bobby is in the Twin Cities. We all pull from many different references, right? So it's I think that's the advantage of all of us. Like we really do represent Minnesota. You guys are welcome. You're welcome, Minnesota.Whether it's for your personally or for your community or for your society, what are some of those barriers you think you guys have broken?Migizi Pensoneau: We've done it together as a group and that's one of the interesting things. So we have the two that aren't from Minnesota in our group, they are from Oklahoma … but we've managed to stick together as friends and so far … we'll see what happens, talk to us in a couple of years. But we've managed to continue to work together in a way that's incredibly positive. And a lot of that, especially as we're getting into like our “Reservation Dogs” stuff these last few years, a lot of this was led by our friend Sterlin Harjo. We did it all the time with like, you know, prayers in the morning, prayers before we started songs, like we did everything in the ways that we were sort of taught and some of those things that sort of bring us together as Indian people are some of these traditions, like walking forward in the work that we do in a thoughtful and spiritual way.I don't know that anybody else is doing the same thing, at least to that sort of level. What I'm saying is that we are spiritually better than everybody else. And we've broken that barrier pretty hard. But no, I mean, we've tried to maintain spiritual and cultural integrity in everything that we do. We joke around all the time, but we are absolutely serious about making sure that the work that we put out in the world is thoughtful and is not flippant, even though, you know, the stuff we say off the cuff definitely is. But the things that we deal with, both in our sketches and in the work that we do on “Reservation Dogs,” is very heavy and there are people that are, you know, some of the subject matter is really intense and we don't go into that lightly. So having that sort of cultural and spiritual grounding to make sure that carries across through all of what we do, I don't know anybody else that does that … we've maintained our integrity in the work that we do.Dallas, do you agree with your friend, Migizi?Dallas Goldtooth: Yes, I do. I think that maybe one other aspect is that through the process of writing “Reservation Dogs” and also working on other projects now, we've broken that barrier of, like, we've been told that one, in many ways, whether it's direct or indirect, that our stories as Native people don't matter.I think that we as writers are breaking that barrier, saying, no, Native stories told by Native people, acted by Native actors and actresses not only have impact for us as community, but are meaningful to everybody. People really can enjoy them and that they are worthy of investment and worthy of support.Growing up in a dominant culture, we're often taught that, hey, you have to change your ways to fit to the mold that is the mainstream, that is colonization. What we're trying to do is say, I was gonna use a four-letter word, a sacred four-letter word, and I'm not gonna say it, but F that, you know, we are gonna be doing it on our own, in our own terms. And has maybe even, it has a greater impact than anything that could else be said.What have you heard from folks both inside and outside the Native community about the impact your work is having?Bobby Wilson: I've heard a lot of really fantastic positive reception, all the stuff that we've been doing … I think it is really quality work. And putting it on like a larger platform, really an international platform. I mean, I've got a homie in Germany that texted me that he was watching “Reservation Dogs” with his family and I was like, God dang, you know? Like, that's wild, it's really fantastic.I also love hearing folks who haven't watched the show at all and just tell me that, you know, it's on the list. I get that a lot. ‘Ah, I heard really good things about that.' So people are hearing good things. The most important thing for me is if we're all satisfied with the work. I think probably every artist feels that way, though. People keep telling us it's really great and I love that, I love to hear it. But, you know, we're always trying to hold ourselves to as high a standard as possible.This might be a stupid question, but I'm gonna ask it anyway. When will you guys know you've made it?Migizi Pensoneau: Here's what I know, here's how I know that I've probably made it enough, is that my own community up in Red Lake hasn't asked me to come be a part of anything yet. And I think if they ever ask me to come be a part of everything and to like come and speak to the youth up there, I will know then that I've peaked and I'm past my prime, that I'm obsolete. Your own community should not be asking you to do anything. Right now I'm hated enough and that's fine. Do you have any worries on what's next for Indigenous representation after the SAG-AFTRA strike ends? Bobby Wilson: I mean, for me, I was worried about it before it even started, you know? I hate to break the momentum but it took like 150 damn years since the invention of the camera to give Indians a TV show. I'm always worried about it but I think we have to be. There's still stuff coming out that's written by non-Native people, that's acted by non-Native people, that's supposedly about us. There's always a space for it and for us to go in there and to do our own work together and also collaborate with all the other amazing, phenomenal Indigenous talent. There's some really amazing people working on stuff.Dallas Goldtooth: No matter what, we're still part of a colonial project. We gotta remain vigilant at all times. Minnesota may change the name of Sibley Park, but they're still going to do some racist stuff. And so we're always going to be on the edge.I have a worry that the studios are gonna say “hey, we don't have enough money as much as we did before because we got to pay you guys a living wage now,” and oftentimes it's those on the margins, right, the Indigenous folks, Black folks, other communities of color who end up getting the cut first. So that's the worry I got. But I believe that we've proven that we can tell good stories that people are invested in and I have a lot of faith in them.

Chris and Ari are melting in Central Florida, but luckily they're joined by some very cool people in a much cooler climate - Dan Blair, Meg Meyer, Kayla Rowand, Brianna Thorson, and Laurel Mochinski (along with special guest start Cori Dawson) from Minnesota Zoo's World of Birds Show (Presented by Wings Financial)! We get to discuss the team's experience booting up a brand new show from scratch, Laurel's history with the bird show dating back to when it was run by some guy named Steve Martin (sounds familiar...), speculations about the visitors' favorite birds, the restaurants and bars that the team still has to visit before the show run ends next month, and the white feathered wonder that is Coconut the Cockatoo.  If there's a question you'd like us to answer, a topic you think we should discuss, or a guest you'd like to see on the show (even - and especially - if it's YOU), drop us an email at podcast@naturalencounters.com! --------------------------------- The TEC Talk Podcast is proud to be sponsored by Audible.com!

In this hour of The Herd, Colin pleads with New York Giant fans to enjoy this playoff win—and celebrate head coach Brian Daboll's transformation of quarterback Daniel Jones. Also, it's clear to Colin that the Los Angeles Chargers do not have an identity, and that allowed the Jacksonville Jaguars to creep back into their eventual playoff win over Los Angeles. Plus, Colin worries that the absence of former Buffalo assistant Brian Daboll is affecting Josh Allen's quarterback play. Finally, Colin sees Viking quarterback Kirk Cousins as "Minnesota Nice," but he needs to be "Boston Angry."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
