Did Donald Trump REALLY defend Hitler at a World War memorial? On the latest episode of The New Abnormal, a look at the latest post-presidency books. One of the most outrageous claims from the deluge of new Trump books hitting the shelves this month is that the then-president lavished praise on Adolf Hitler at a memorial for World War One. Michael Bender, the author of Frankly, We Did Win This Election says on the latest episode of The New Abnormal that the Hitler incident was just one shocking example of people in Trump's orbit belatedly coming to realize how dangerous the president was.The next guest, former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, says he's feeling pretty let down by the offerings in the latest string of Trump books.“Most of these people don't have information firsthand,” he says. “They're getting it from somebody else. And a lot of it is the same reconstituted bullshit that we've heard before, but just by somebody else.”However, he adds: “I think that the books are still important. I think it's just another example of how this orange crusted bloviated asshole took advantage of this country, especially the Justice Department.”Cohen cautions people to take a look at who is trying to mend their tarnished reputations through the books now that the Trump years are over, saying: “I think it's very disingenuous when they come out afterward and it's, you know, through a book.” Finally, Peter Sagal host of NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me joins the crew to "call-in" with a hot take. tIf you haven't heard, every single week The New Abnormal does a special bonus episode for Beast Inside, the Daily Beast's membership program. where Sometimes we interview Senators like Cory Booker or the folks who explain our world in media like Jim Acosta or Soledad O'Brien.

Alonzo is a regular on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me and he has a new daily talk show from 4-7 on KBLA radio https://kbla1580.com/alonzo-bodden-whos-paying-attention/. In this epsiode we talk about mental health in the Black Community, and the stress that shoots through your head when a police car is behind you, no matter who you are or what you're doing. We talk about addiction, the feelings that you try to stop with drugs or alcohol, 33 years of sobriety, how sponsorship and mentorship are different, growing up and being bused to predominantly white schools and his philosophy to never argue with a racist over 40. Alonzo doesn't seem to be a guy who worries about trying to control everything. Unlike me, for example. Jennifer and I also talk about how to take care of panic over issues like losing your keys or your phone, credit cards, idenity theft etc. This is about how to talk to feelings like fear and panic. To ask questions like “Is this dangerous? Sure, it's a pain is the ass, but is it dangerous? Or is it fixable? It seems like you need to have the skills of a CIA operative to deal with internet scams, identity fraud and the fight or flight feeling these things can create. Jennifer tries to think about how horrific the lives are of the people who try to scam others all day. I'm giving away my identity because I'm ready for a new one. I've been in the actors witness protection program for years. It's a good show and would love to have you join us.

Are Josh Gondelman and I the same person?? In this episode, we find out we have a million similarities in our early comedy influences, how we started doing stand-up, and many, many other eerie coincidences. Starting comedy in Boston, his career has taken him to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and Desus and Mero. Give it a listen!Pat House is a nationally-touring comedian based out of Philadelphia. A regular performer in comedy clubs, casinos and theaters all over the country, Pat has been a choice opener for Sebastian Maniscalco, Tom Segura and Dan Cummins. He recorded his first album Biggest Thing in 2013, and his latest album Heard Enough Yesterday, hit #1 on the iTunes comedy charts. Both can be heard on iTunes, Amazon and Pandora.Josh Gondelman is a writer and comedian who incubated in Boston before moving to New York City, where he currently lives and works as a writer and producer for Desus & Mero on Showtime. Previously, he spent five years at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, first as a web producer and then as a staff writer where he earned four Emmy Awards, two Peabody Awards, and three WGA Awards. In 2016, Josh made his late night standup debut on Conan (TBS), and he has also performed on Late Night With Seth Meyers (NBC) and The Late Late Show with James Corden (CBS). Gondelman is also the author of the essay collection Nice Try: Stories of Best Intentions and Mixed Results published September 2019 by Harper Perennial. And as of 2019, he has become a regular panelist on NPR mainstay Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. In Spring 2020, Gondelman launched his own podcast Make My Day, a comedy game show. And, if you remember this far back, he was the co-creator of the popular Modern Seinfeld Twitter account. Onstage, Josh charms audiences using his good-natured storytelling and cracks them up with his sharp, pointy wit. He takes topics from surprise parties to his experience teaching preschool and makes them all equally hilarious.

Fantasy Sports is big business these day, especially now that participants no longer have to do the work by hand. It’s so popular that managing virtual worlds based on real world data has spread beyond sports. Fantasy Birding has become a obsession among a growing cadre of real birders, it has been featured in a number of general interest articles, it was lightly mocked on the NPR show Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, and it’s taken hold of a handful of my colleagues at the ABA. Matt Smith is a computer programmer and birder and is the creator of Fantasy Birding. He joins host Nate Swick to talk about the wild ride.  Also, some potential changes to the Duck Stamp that seem to cause more harm than good, and Nate reminisces about an amazing trip to Costa Rica with an amazing group of young naturalists.   Thanks to Zeiss Sports Optics for sponsoring this episode of the American Birding Podcast.

However you describe it, Monty Python’s Holy Grail turned the Aurthurian legend on its head and changed the lives of a whole generation of comedy fans and future smart aleks. One of those people is Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me host Peter Sagal. In this latest installment of The Movie That Made Me, Sagal talks about why a film featuring coconuts, shrubberies, and killer bunny rabbits changed his life forever.Plus Chicago band Girl K mixes indie rock, dream pop, and more into something all their own.
