To get to the bottom of this trend, we talk to one of the most influential voices in 21st-century communication, Peyton Parker. Peyton, of course, is the inventor of the popular iPhone and we're very excited to talk to him about his exciting life and career. After that, we'll talk to Bethany Frankel. Bethany, as you may know, is the world record holder for the longest phone conversation in history. It goes without saying, but this girl loves to talk on the phone! This week's episode also features a field piece from our producer, Taylor Moore. Taylor will be hitting the streets to see if he, himself, can make a phone call. Can it be that easy, or is there more to this trend than meets the eye? Also on the show, we'll also have a look at this week's headlines, talk at length about the white pages, and, of course, music from the Foo Fighters. This week on America Won't Shut Up! Our guests this week are Zhubin Parang and Halle Kiefer. Zhubin (@zhubinparang) is writer for the Daily Show and can be seen around town drinking various diet sodas. Halle (@hallekiefer) hosts the monthy Dog & Pony Show at the UCB East in NYC. As of press time, no word on her soda preference.

The show takes a detour from positivity to discuss what can only be referred to as the Birdemic of comic books! Time travel, future ninjas, inexplicable fighting, poor spatial relations, Pottery Barn, what doesn’t this mini-series have? A reason for existing. It doesn’t have a reason for existing. Listen and find out if this mini is so bad it’s… nah, it’s just so bad. But no body-shaming, y'all! This mini-series can be purchased in the trade paperback X-Force: The Legend Returns. As a point of reference, you can read about Birdemic on Wikipedia. Zhubin Parang is a writer for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He can also be seen performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre with the sketch team Charlemagne and improvising in the show What I Did For Love.
