Yes, raw milk SEEMS like a regressive, terrible idea, but IS it? Um… yes. And we’ve got expert Madeleine Aggeler here to tell us why. And then, it’s not just the milk that’s spoiled; we are too.

I have mixed feelings about raw milk. I was raised on it. Living on a family operated (my parents, siblings-11 of us), and sometimes hired hand or two) dairy farm, we drank straight from the bulk tank our milk went to after milking. I loved raw milk until I left home and switched to skim to reduce fat consumption. After getting used to skim, I couldn’t go back because that fresh from the cow stuff was just too thick and filling to me. From a health standpoint, I’m not afraid of raw milk, so long as it is sourced from a clean dairy that takes all the precautions to keep the milk clean and free from medications used on the cows. I have seen enough dairy farms to know, not everyone can be trusted to follow the health and safety standards I would personally need. The other part of the discussion is the benefits of raw milk that get overlooked these days. There is a book called The Raw Milk Story that covers this, but in short, doctors actually used to prescribed raw milk to patients as a remedy to some ailments. This was a practice even the famous Mayo family that started the Mayo Clinic followed. I do wish I could source good, clean raw milk today, but finding a farmer who will risk selling it is difficult, even in farm country. They don’t see it as a risk worth taking since there are laws that prohibit selling it off the farm in some places. I miss the days when people were held responsible for their decisions about what to put in their own bodies when provided the precautions up front.

Remember that dairy cows are mothers; they have feelings and emotionally bond with us too. Pasture raised, and grass fed, organic, cruelty free, sustainable, fair trade, sunshine, fresh air, clean water, and empathy. Show some appreciation for your dairy cow. Happy healthy cows make healthier milk! We are the care givers of life on the planet we all share. 🌞🌦🌈🌎💛 Raw milk and raw dairy, cultured butter, sour cream, aged cheeses, yogurts, kefir, skyrr and buttermilk are all considered healthy probiotics contributing to a healthy microbiome in the gut. Along with reducing the growth of "possible" pathogens, pastuerization may kill the helpful flora that produce the vitamin k2 in aged cheeses. Fermented foods including aged dairy cheeses such as muenster, cheddar, gouda, gruyere, swiss and camenbert are very high in levels of vitamin k2 produced by probiotic bacteria. The k2 that is most noteworthy is the menaquinone mk-7 vitamer of k2 that is especially good for preventing athlerosclerosis. In conjunction with vitamin D3, k2 as menaquinone mk-7 produces decarboxylases which remove oxalates out of the blood vessel walls and improve Ca+ absorption in bones, hair, teeth, & nails- towards building and maintaining strength and density. Mk-7 with mega doses of D3 can improve insulin sensitivity with less risk of hypercalthemia, reduces risk of renal calculi and gallstones, improves skin, improves brain function, reduces risk of cancer, reduces risk of heart attack and stroke from vessel wall damage and thrombosus, improves inflammation of arthritis, improves mineral bone density and reverses post-menopausal bone loss.

To those who keep say, "Trust Trump, he knows what he's doing." Here's the huge fucking fly in that ointment: He lies. He lies about everything. There's nothing he doesn't lie about. He's a liar. He does not tell the truth. If it is, he says it isn't. He lies. ... See MoreSee Less

He’s an old time con artist. How anyone believes him is beyond me.

The believers are in an abusive relationship and getting ghosted…they’ve defended him so much they can’t stop

He is the worst liar liar pants on fire ever ughhh 😡😡😡

He will lie even when the truth sounds better!

100% Liar

Paula he is following a script. Even if his words and actions are wonky as we've known them to be...it's the Project 2025 Playbook that is the real regime about to strike. I'm getting really scared now.

If his lips are moving he's lying

Remember that time he said he could kill a man in the middle of New York and get away with it. I think that says everything about his character and his moral compass.

He definitely doesn't know what he's doing!

Ain’t that the truth!

Do you have proof of that?

He is a liar and I can see right through him. I don't understand why other people can't see the lies too.

He’s the king of #DARVO.

There is no truth any more, and no constitution, and no laws and no feeling safe and protected and respected. At least I used to feel some of that was here. 😢

Kamala predicted that he would do this .if he won. Too bad people didn't listen

Then He fits right in with all the crooks and liars in DC.

Been saying that all along... and he has a buddy somewhere because he's not smart enough to think up all this stuff himself. And it's not the people he hires because they're not that smart either.

You got it so right Paula!!

The man is never held accountable for what he does or says. Democrats are held accountable for an eyebrow twitch interpreted in the wrong way.

3 months into this presidency look what he's doing. There will be a war he'll say it's not his fault but it will be.

If his mouth is moving, he’s lying.

Plus those who have trusted him? What became of them? He’s left a trail of broken relationships, fired employees, contractors cheated out of payment, defrauded students, defrauded charities, bankrupt businesses, unkept promises his entire life.

This is the most TRUE statement ever!

Spot on.

He will go down as our worst President He made America hate again I refer to him as the Orange menace

Stuff seems hard, now, but as a comic I can tell you, someday we'll look back on all of this and cry again. ... See MoreSee Less

I have a bumper sticker that says, “every time history repeats itself…the price goes up.”

Loved that you ended your show in Cleveland with We Shall Overcome. Felt really good and needed the reminder.

Gotta laugh—- it keeps me from crying, and being a danger to myself and others 😓

Only if we ever quit crying to start with...

You are the Best

Again...or still?

My favorite Peloton instructor said something in a class a few days ago. "Sometimes the wind blows in your face. But eventually, it will be at your back again." There are hurricane force winds right now, but we will get through this somehow.

Funniest joke of all.

Paula, I listened to you talking about Nancy Sinatra a week or so ago and you commented on her song, “These Boots Are Made for Walking.” And then over the last few days I’ve been thinking that there needs to be a song that we all can rally around as you mentioned and I really do think this is the one. I find myself humming it, singing it and asking Alexa to play it. Almost every line is appropriate. Don’t you think we should really promote it?? We definitely need a theme song!

Stuff looks hard, feels hard, but I got my portable to chair to ease my old knees as I wait in the soon forming bread lines.

Wish I could hear you again like I did recently in St Paul. You had me laughing for 2 solid hours. Wonder how you are making comedy out of this world wide mess he is making.

If we're not dead.

You’re the best!!!!!

You were on fire last night in Folsom! Thank you for the laughs! They were much needed

I have to stop in order to start again.

Don't look at your investment portfolio right now! Don't do it . . .

This is a first time. We've never had a president bent on destruction, and not know what he was doing, before. It's like a vampire who was doing his thing from notes.

Thank god for people like you.

Right?!

Too true

it's like did ya vow all over us again. kid: can we cry now? dad: another 10 minutes, child. kid: he never says which 10 minutes.

Paula, we need you on that wall!

True .. And Dr Kildare (FELON47) let the patient flat line

Be grateful you found a country that gives an odd plain untalented woman the chance to make a living. Where would you be in Iran?

Truth!

Great show!

Where in Baltimore?

Come back to Frederick! Was it something we said?

...well somebody needs to.

I wish I could have attended, but I teach dance on Thursday evenings. I wish you the best! I usually see you on Annapolis or VA.

Fabulous show last night! You are my favorite comedian. LOVED the parts about quick sand, dogs, and dolphins! I was cracking up!! 🙂

Sorry we missed ya go tell ‘em PAULA POUNDSTONE

I follow a furniture repair and restore page. For half a second, I thought this was another chair for Paula, lol.

Cozy. Hey you have a cup holder. That is a plus.

Why do I see a cigarette in your future?

The show was fantastic, but the very best part was chatting with you afterward. You are always so generous with your time, waiting until every fan who wanted to got to interact with you. Paula, you are a class act!

Let 'em know what it's all about!

Oh man! Would have loved to have gone!!! Loved you since the early 90s!

My kind of chair! A secure spot for a drink. Wish I could come and see you, Paula, but at this age I have to pee too often for a live performance. Sad.

Is that from a 70's van?

Get you a crab cake after you tell ‘em!

Aw man! Missed you! Yew da bess!

Interesting chair.

Wish I could make it!

You were wonderful!!! We had a blast!!&

They put theater seats in the green room?

I heard them talking about “crab imperial” but didn’t think they meant Paula was in town !

She was in classic form.

Glamorous green rooms!! Have fun.

Ooo! Cup holder. Perfect for a can of Diet Pepsi.

The questionaire for donating blood asked me if I take the prescrition drug Rinvoq. No, but I've seen the commercial so many times it's causing unwanted side effects. ... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook

"Rinvoq" sounds like a Klingon profanity.

I've been thinking that I'd take anal leakage over the perineal gangrene of some tv favorites. Actually, they used to say "gangrene" (when the cellar rat voice first caught my attention in 2020), but they've *softened* it to "A rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur." Yeah...uhh....

In Canada we are asked if we’ve recently handled monkeys or their body fluids. I mean-I wish! 😁😂😁

My doc went over all the side effects of a new diabetes med. she didn’t mention the one I was worried about: would it make me break out in song and dance at work or in my yard while mowing? Because I really don’t want to do that. She laughed so hard. And confirmed that is NOT a side effect!

The BK commercials are so annoying, I crave a Big Mac.

Do not take if you’re allergic to Rinvoq

I hear you sister!

It's amazing that ANY of us takes most drugs when you hear the list of possible side effects, especially when they include the issue the drug is prescribed for! 🤦‍♀️

Rinvoq? Don't they know that you've never been canoeing?? 😅😅

But did it cause you to go kayaking? Or arrange flowers? Or dance in a gazebo?

I wish one of the side effects was raising IQ 40 points.

What is Rinvoq?

I want to get paid for the job of making up drug names!

Wish rfk would get rid of pharma commercials.

Wait a second - shouldn't your doctor already know this!?!?!? Rinvoq, inform your doctor if you have any of the following conditions: Active infections History of cancer Heart disease Liver disease Low white blood cell count Tuberculosis

our algorithmically controlled cage bubbles! I have never seen an ad for Rinvoq afaik -- my drug ads are for flaky skin and involuntary twitching. (Tough choice, as Jim Ignitowski used to say on Taxi)

Watch out for those side-effects. They always talk about serious side effects, but there are also some hilarious ones. That perineum infection sounds wild!

OMG! I hate it when a drug commercial is playing in my head all day! So many of them on MSNBC!

Bahahaha! Delightful!

Love Dan Cummins! His podcasts are great! Scared To Death as well as TimeSuck!

The New Yorker did an expose a while back. It’s a hybrid cult/slave labor “religion”

I learned a lot listening to this episode.

Thank you for this!

We used to go down to the schoolyard in the Bronx and they would teach you what I thought was tai chi or yoga for health. No big deal until the Chinese government tried to get it banned. Yes they literally came here to have it stopped. The problem was they came to Da Bronx!

Comment on Facebook

Love it when you’re on Wait Wait 😊😊😊

I also heard your name in a podcast by Tom Scott called Lateral thinking. You were brilliant in the podcast.

Paula, you were in rare form Thursday night at the live performance of WWDTM! I've seen you perform in person four times now, and your wit (sometimes with meandering stories) always delivers a hilarious punchline. You did not disappoint Thursday! Sorry you lost on game points that night, but you scored on comedy!!

I was there and the laughter you delivered was so needed in our lives. Thank you for being you, Paula!

See you tonight at the Fitzgerald in Saint Paul, Minnesota 👍😁

It was all Eric’s fault🤣🤣. Great show!!

Thank you for coming to Florida, we’re not all crazy tho the folks in the Governor’s mansion make it look that way

Will be listening tomorrow morning with my family!!❤️

You are my favorite WWDTM personality! ❤️

I was at the show and had a great time! Poor Eric. 😂

Always does when you’re on!

Always laugh when you're on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me !

We listen to WWDTM streaming in the car. We have a drive Mon to our new home. Stressful time & looking forward to listening to it as a stress relief! Loved seeing you at Goucher a couple of years ago!

You always add a lot to that show, Paula.

Yes, it was a great one!

I personally NEED A LAUGH thx Paula

Dang. Missed it.

I love you on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me!!!!

Can't wait, I love it when you are on the panel! 🙂

You can probably listen to it later on npr. My children tell me that it’s possible to download stuff like that pretty easily

Paula's the BEST on WWDTM 💜💜💜

I saw “Orlando” and my brain interpreted the following show name as “Walt,Walt Don’t Tell…”

Terrific, as always💜📻💜

See you April 10!!

It did!

This is vile and more vile. Who would want to kiss something knowing what all the feet that go across it.

…I think he’s got a little tongue on it…I could be wrong

Dr. Oz needs to get his roots done.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND THANK YOU & YOUR DOGS😎🤩🥳🥰

such a disgusting and worthless person

Hasn’t Oz been in the industry long enough to know he needs to color his roots before someone takes a photo?

Fake News, don't stoop to his level

Is that his tombstone ?

Nailed it.

I think he kissed several more things...

Pictured: the steaming growler.

Fake photo, but the hair dye job looks legit.

This is just sickening.

If I was his wife I would never kiss those lips again.

FFS! Have a little dignity!

I saw a photo of the star being completely destroyed. Is that current or was it replaced?

Made me laugh out loud 🤣

I adore you!

Good dog!

I love you , Paula !!!😛😛😛

Why does he have a star?

You, my dear, are a national treasure!

We all know how Jonestown ended

He needs to touch up his dye job.

I hope so!!
