Average Americans

The closest thing to an "average American" Tony Dookie will interview is someone who is, 5 minutes later, revealed to be the spouse of the Chamber of Commerce CEO.

very weird to tour America's Heartland, go to Detroit and not find one worker to interview, but making time for a 3 minute puff interview with a CEO. Truly salt of the earth populist with his pulse on the working man
