Plus an in depth discussion about the role of hamburger and tuna helper. Jane wraps it up with news stories about a women's rights development in Saudi Arabia, and lingering trauma for the reporters from the Jan 6 riots.

We ask, poke, & prod into their carolla fandom & how they came to work for the man. Robby aligns himself with our guests by putting his feminist agenda front & center. We have more fun with discussions on conspiracy theories, favorite movies, light musical talk, mole man's sad sack lack of a love life & MUCH MORE. Big shout out to producer Emi for manning the control boards.
 

Summer is upon us so the gang reminisces about their childhood summers and some of their fondest memories: road trips, Martha's Vineyard, grandma's carpeted kitchen, finding love in Guatemala and making the trek to Mexico. They also share listeners' summer memories and Jane reports news about 40 cows roaming the streets of LA, and Canada Goose stopping the use of fur. Jane also adds a new subsegment of old news, kicking off with a story about sugar rationing during WW2.

Manny's friend George joins Manny and Jane from New Jersey for a fascinating interview about his extreme diet consisting only of raw animal food (including regular raw organ meat smoothies). He went from being incredibly sick, eventually diagnosed with MS and tells us how he came to discover this diet to very effectively control his symptoms. for Vinnie fans this is NSNG on steroids and George's story is so inspiring even for those of us without major health problems that you may find yourself wanting to give the diet a try yourself to see if you can reach the state of nirvana he claims to have achieved. Maybe. George also takes some tangents about spending time in an Alabama jail, his past junkie days, and why he wears blue light filter glasses. For lots of pictures of his raw meals and anti-vegan posts follow George on IG: @george2theworld

In the spirit of episode 69 recording on 6/9 we let Manny take the spotlight to talk about his experiences at sex parties and gang bangs. Don't worry, Jane and Chris keep it tasteful and it's really a fascinating deep dive in to a world unknown to most of us (or so we assume). Chris also talks about getting into two fights during his recent travels and Jane shares news stories about a woman giving birth to decuplets and a man hiding razor blades in pizza dough.
