Tell Me You’re Joking leans into the taboo, popular, annoying, and entertaining subjects that rile us all up. This podcast will make those that say ”politics and religion are private” want to open up and engage. Based out of Flyover Country, St. Louis Missouri, host JB Anderson brings on guests that have a say, give a damn, and are not afraid to shoot it straight.

Judy lost her mom on December 15th, 2024. She had to navigate the chaos that is Alzheimer's from home, with limited help from Hospice, and a load of figuring out on her own. Her second time through with this disease, after losing her father to the monster as well, this time she had to tackle it head on. A story that is equal parts disheartening, refreshing, inspiring, and maddening.

First off... don't be offended by the title. In today's world everyone claims to understand minority issues based on the fact they have "a black friend." Well... so do I. And he's an ACE! Bam Jones... musician, husband, son, father, producer, friend, and baller, he checks a lot of boxes. We peel the onion back on his interests, his interpretations, his feelings, and his focus. I'll treat this like an album in case you want to skip around:
Kendrick - Super Bowl
Beyonce - Culture Vulture
Black, White, or Stolen
Elvis... Thief
Trump 2.0
What's a D?
What's an R?
STL reality
and more...
We all think we know or understand why communities fall into cultural quicksand, or why groups vote for this team or that simply "because." Well... you are probably wrong. It's both more complicated than that, and waaaaay simpler in an odd way.#producer #podcast #father #crime #democrats #republicans #empathy #racists
