This is a special one. Comedian, father and lovely human being Sam Miller joins me as we talk about the reality show, "Cops," why it was popular, and also why the system it documents is problematic. Sam has been to jail for a life changing amount of time and has been able to turn his life around through tough personal work by himself and help from others. Here is a charity that helped Sam out, and can help folks going through similar things Sam has been through:

Supermarket Sweep!
My friend Jess Murray joins me as we historically analyze the game show Supermarket Sweep! The conclusion we come to is fairly obvious, but also super important in larger context, this show accentuates consumerism culture in America. Check out an episode from the 60's and from the 90's, it is a very entertaining show to watch!
