Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. You're
clearly in a hotel room. So you're currently on the road.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Either in a hotel room or you've got the fucking
weirdest sense of style anyone. I know.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I just love the ambiance of a Hampton Inn. It
just really takes you to a special place.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I always put two queen beds in one room.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Nothing makes you not feel alone like two beds. Just
an empty queen bed one foot away.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh it is It is not empty, look at all. Yeah,
that is the storage bed exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's the storage bed.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't put my clothes away, you gross. I want
them to be where the most bed bugs might be.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's on a bed.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Recently, hold on, recently, I did find bed bugs in
a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, what did you do?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You just I mean I slept in it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Them all up, put them in.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I put them in my mouth, and I said, let's go.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Boys.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
So I was in this hotel. It was like a
one am check in on the road. I've been driving
for like nine hours. It was a shitty hotel, and
I was like.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm going to check.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm not going to be that person that judges a
hotel by it's you know, by whatever highway it's off of.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And so I went in. I looked. I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I did see a flea, which I was like, that's great,
that's enough.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
But I was like I can deal with the flea.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I got pets, and then I took a shower and
I was like, I'm going to check one more time.
And then I took off all the cover, like the
middle of the cover, and in the middle was a
little bed bug that hadn't eaten for a while.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And I was like, I'm out. And then I left.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, such a Did they refunded you and everything?
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
And I specifically all my stuff was on was like
away from the bed. You don't put anything on any
carpeted surface. But I threw away all my close like yeah,
I just at their way the suitcase, I was.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Like, well, it's not worth taking the chance.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No, no, So and now I'm back in New York City.
But right now I'm in a Arabur, Michigan at the
The ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. It's a great little room.
You know, college kids run amok and everyone wants to
laugh and it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh that's awesome. So it's a fun room very much. Yeah,
oh nice. So tell us about the New Hour. I
know that it is a it's a I'm not going
to say heavy. It has a heavy subject behind it.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But yeah, it is. It is heavy. I think that
heaviness can be funny.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So I kind of recount the title after Birth is
basically about how messy it can get when you're starting
your life over.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I went I moved to.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
New York City from LA I went through a really
awful breakup, my sister passed away, and.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And I kind of was like, I got to start
my life all over again.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And it's, you know, musings on what to do when
your life doesn't go how you had planned.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Which for a lot of us that happens.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
But it's also you know, I talk about trying to
get pregnant and not have a partner, and like, what's
that like as a woman in your thirties when you're like, well,
I want a family, but I don't need the other half.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I'll go to a bank, I'll find it. Come is
everywhere it is?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You can't you guys know it's pezz without hitting companies espectually.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Where you are currently is Florida ceiling company.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Guys, I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now you are pregnant from that chair.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Or there is no there is no cup chair in
this office. I will say her in this room, no
cup chair.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Crazy. It is a very common hotel occurrence. We love
a cop chair again, great place to put your stuff, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Ragging on my come.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Goodness, my goodness. It's Shue. Curta and I stayed in
a hotel in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, and one of
the people were like, there's a chair in my room
that it is completely covered and seemen and we were like,
all right, call times at six am.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Then I opened my drawer. Was it me or you
opened the drawer and it was just fingernail clippings.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh my god, that was me Because I was like,
I wonder if they even have a Gideon's Bible in
this one, and it was just all nail clippings. And
then the one of our one of our crew heard
something at night and he like looks out the people,
and it was one of those hotels that's just ride
on the parking lot, like you park right outside the door.
(06:46):
So he's looking at the people and he doesn't see anything,
and he keeps hearing something, and then he just opens
up the door to check. And a junkie who was
currently high had leaned his chair back against the door.
So when he opened the door, a man who is
knocked out on Heroin rolled backwards into his room like
(07:07):
a backward somersault and landed in his room.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh my god, room serviced.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So anyways, yeah, order a junkie. It is a strange
transaction that we just rent. Yeah, basic amenities. There's walls
and a toilet and and and then there's levels of that.
How good and how bad is it?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh, that's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Where you got doing in London?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
January eighth, I'm doing it at top secret. Okay, I'm
doing premiering it. It's also my birth.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
British the animals go see Jenny on her birthday in London,
January eighth.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, six pm, cigarette after broak.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You want to hear about this ape shit story McCarthy, McCormack,
McCarthy's X wife. Here it is. This is in the Atlantic.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh, it's like the Atlantic.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, this is a very real story. This was by
Danielle Wiener Bronner, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Is there any relation to you, Kurt, just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think it's more a relationship to doctor Bronner. That's
what it is. Br I mean Wiener Bronner is an
amazing name.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I found this on Instagram account called fuck it, I'm
a robot. Nice McCarthy's ex wife pulled a gun out
of her vagina or an argument about aliens. This is
printed in The Atlantic in twenty fourteen. Different time, Different time.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Better times. That was Obama's era, way better.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
In the Annals of Bizarre crime stories, even Carmick McCarthy
couldn't come up with one. This bizarre some sort of
sexy version of quote guess where I put my gun?
Honey turned ugly when forty eight year old Jennifer McCarthy
of New Mexico. No, not that Jenny McCarthy pulled a
firearm out of her vagina where else and pointed it
(11:30):
at her boyfriend's head after a dispute over aliens. What
else got a little two heated. According to the Albuquerque Journal,
McCarthy reportedly stormed out during a fight over extraterrestrial life
with her unnamed boyfriend and then returned with a plan
for vengeance. The police report describes how she went to
her bedroom dressed up in lingerie, put the gun in
(11:51):
a place no gun should go, then somehow performed an
unspecified sex act with the gun inside her. Naturally, that
was just a prelude to pulling the gun on out,
pointing out her boyfriend, and asking the presumably rhetorical question,
who is crazy?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
You were me, well, I have so many questions, and
none of them are who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Because we know yes, boyfriend, I have no idea it
must be I don't know. It does not say the
anonymous boyfriend took the gun away and dropped it in
the toilet.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Smart it's impossible to get one. Once a gun hits
the toilet, it's invisible.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
McCarthy then took it out of the toilet, and then
he just threw it in the trash. Does any of
this make any sense to you? And that was not
even they didn't even have a question mark on it.
If all of that wasn't enough to get this story
off the police blodder and into the inboxes of office
workers everywhere, there's one more little trivia tidbit to add.
(12:50):
McCarthy is the most recent ex wife of celebrated author
Cormick McCarthy, who has presumably never written a book where
character uses a vagina for a holster. McCarthy was charged
with aggravated assault on a household member and was released
on Sunday at five thousand dollars bail. So remember, kids,
stay safe. If you in a romantic partner are discussing
whether or not you've ever met an alien and you
say you have, and he says it's impossible, and you say,
(13:14):
an alien taught me how to do things with a
gun you wouldn't believe, and he says you're crazy, and
you say you're crazy, and then you plot a sweet
revenge plot where you dress up in your sexiest carb
do sort of subductive vagina gun dance before delivering the
perfect line in a measured, throaty vest.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's true, who is crazy? You wore me?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Make sure there are no bullets in the gun?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
You know? I like that writing. Good job ween or Browner,
that's yeah. The first thing as soon as you said,
she put on Laingderie in the other room, and then
you know, hid the gun in her snooter. I was like,
so when she came back out, what did the bottom
half of that lingerie look like.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Way honeyway honey, did you just.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
He thought he was gonna get pegged that night, maybe.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Excited?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, and he was, so he was like, oh yeah.
And then there's just I don't know any gun no
that would fit. Also, she's she's the ex wife of
a famous author.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, Cormil mccarthury, Rode the.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Road Blood Meridians Horses.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
The one with the guy with the walking around with
shooting people with the.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
No Country for Old Man. Yeah, the guy walking around
shooting people. I love when people describe movies because all
of us pitch television shows and movies. We all do
so much extra work just to be like, it's this
guy's walk around shooting people and he's got a funny haircut,
and whatdy Harrelson's in it. And you're like, oh, that
sounds like a pretty fun movie.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
But was that the Is that the one where he's
shooting people with the with the cow?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, So first of all, okay, first
of all, that really shift did my reality because I
was like, oh, these are clearly kind of white, trashy people.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
But in the divorce to that.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Guy, she made some money.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You got some money, You got money?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, what I mean, I don't know what time, what
year Old Country, No Country for Old Men came out,
but still the road was already very big.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, blood Meridians. He has five best sellers.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's got a lot of best sellers money.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And he lives in the desert, so he's got unless
he's a true method lunatic, which I don't think he was.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah, but they are desert people, and if we all
know one thing, it is desert people are a different
type of people.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Also, the we had we're not considering how expensive it
is to get a custom gun shaped to your vagina.
They probably costs the majority of the money she got
in the divorce smelting.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But is it just the barrel that is the shape?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah right, or.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
The handle stills like a gun, but the barrel.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Or where does the handle go? Is it you know,
cartoon curved gun? And then you have to shoot it
over your shoulder? I am. I Also sometimes when I
hear we get stories like this, we don't really ever
do like assaults or anything, but like there's a lot
of stories we get sent that are people like flying
off the handle for and it's always something like this,
our aliens real or not. Let's get to the point
(16:23):
where I'm doing a costume change and then pointing a
gun at you, like it takes so much from me
to even yell. Yeah, also point a weapon at somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
The final the final idea of what happened, where she
said aliens taught me how to do this or that's
what Danielle Yeah, Wien or Browner was suggesting that all
of a sudden makes much more sense where it was
like she was just doing a demonstration. It wasn't threat.
There was just a demonstration.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh I see.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And then it's like, who's crazy me?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And then well, I wonder the gun out of the toilet,
so it's wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
I wonder if if he had made her come, would
she have taken that gun out?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Never want never once.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think this is a woman's last resort.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I think yes, as a therapist, I would say the
aliens are covering up on the surface something that is deeper.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree. Thank you very much, Jenny,
you welcome got to the bottom of this finally.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Good for her, Good for her for standing up for
what she believes. Yeah, man. And then do they continue,
do they stay together as a couple.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I mean he put it in the toilet and then
the trash.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, yeah, he's just like that's the best part of
the story to me, where it's just like come on, yeah,
it was very like, girl put it in the toilet.
All right, we'll put in the trash. Come on, quit it,
Quit it on, babe.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Let's let's go to shake shack before they close.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Okay, And yeah, I'm lying about the alien thing, and
I didn't mean to bring it up. Let's go out
to your she shed.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I was given The Road to read in high school.
It's the most upsetting book on the face of the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
It is so upsetting.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I read it in one day. It's one of the
only books I've ever read cover to cover in one day.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Short sentences, very point, very like a Hemingway in that's
not a word.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, it doesn't make you happy. Doesn't make you happy
when you read The Road. Neither does Blood Britian with
one of the most horrific endings. And it's a whole
book about scalping, and you're like, boy, I am too
young to be even considering this amount of evil in
the World.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Which book?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's blood Merinian, it's about this.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Another high school.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
No. I did not need college for me, and I
did not know it.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
In high school. Sorry, came out to.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The High School of Life.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
High School of Life.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I was in college. You were way out?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, I was. I had a full time
job in the city. Read the road on the subway.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
What was the horrific thing you read in high school?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So much?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh my god? The things shrug, things they carried, was like.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I did read that?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What about that one where they had their like bestest
friends and then he dies of Steinbeck.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, No, every boy has read it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's high school, high school boys and their runners. And
it's like people are yelling it at me right now?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Are you there, God, it's me Margaret great one.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, well that that teaches you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
How to put a gun in your vagina. It's a
secret chapter that boys are allowed to read. It's just
for women.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
See any women see the words. There's just ten pages
that are blank to them.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
In that middle I went. I went to Catholic school. Jenny,
did you go to a private school or anything?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Going to a charter arts high school?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Charter?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
That's good? Yeah, And fourth grade, and there was just
one day where they were like, all the boys recess,
all the girls stay in your seats, and we were like,
what is hat? We were so jealous. We're like, what
are I bet they're getting ice cream. I bet they're
watching a movie. They're probably watching Free Willie those what
(20:36):
age fourth grade?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Eleven?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, and they kind of and and so we're just
running around, you know, like they're like, get the gym teacher,
just get a man out there to look at the
kids on the playground. We're all beating the tar out
of each other. And then the girls got there like
this is coming, Yeah, this will be because I think
one of the girls had her period by fourth grade. Yeah,
and so they were like, all right, let's do it
so she doesn't feel like an outcast. And we were
(21:00):
like looking through the windows, what are you doing in there?
What is the secret society?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I can imagine when you got back in the classroom,
just the horrified looks on all the girls who just
are quiet and just like, oh god, a single tear?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Would it have been better with Jenny? If if you
were in that scenario where you were getting educated about
about periods, it wouldn't be better if the boys also
had the information.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
They were in the room when we did it for you, Yeah,
for regular yeah, regular elementary.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
The boys were there.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Wow, yeah, Catholics.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I do remember, and this has been burned into my
memory as a as a bad time is There was
like a box where you could ask any questions anonymously,
and I remember the kids being like.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Last year, somebody was like, what's sex like?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
And they all laughed and it's like ha, And then
I was like, well, if it's anonymous, I'm gonna ask
that question.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And then I asked.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
So I asked that question, and then like the teacher
just looked at me and then moved on.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Just new Is it new to answer it?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No, was the question what is sex like?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It was something like something like that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It would have been crazy if she answered it.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I would have been insane. Fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
My mom did that. She was a high school teacher,
but she had a box on Fridays would answer any
questions health related, wellness related, sex related, and then you know,
they get joke ones and she would joke back. But
I feel like even that would probably get a little
I don't know if that would pass the mustard.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Today, it feels like nothing. Yeah, never do it.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sex feels like nothing. It feels like nothing, or it
feels like everything.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Next question, Jenny, Jenny, why do you ask your mom
about that?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
My health teacher same high school is the also the
head wrestling coach, and we won states and stuff. So
he was very good at that job and very not
so good at the health teacher part. And he would
answer that box and he would just read it and
just say not true answers and just move on. Yeah,
he would be It would be like, well, I'll say
(23:26):
this one and then I'll consider if we cut it out.
But at one point I think my mom had one
where somebody wrote, if a woman is pregnant you have
sex with her, will your penis hit the baby in
the womb? And my mom knew who wrote it and said,
for example, not yours, Kurt so Like, which which I
(23:51):
don't think would pass with the age of cell phones either.
But I love just I love it so much to
be like, oh, you thought you were being funny and
then just the red face disaster that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
It's gotta give me one.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I got one for you. Eric Simpson sent this in
thank you.

Apparently this was written by Louis Prada, who a lot
of people say is the best in the biz. This
(24:35):
pizza place accidentally served pizzas laced with t HC. Now
you know that's I don't think that's an accident. This
is I will give Louis Prada credit because it does
explain everything very well. Yes, Louise, Louise is the best.
(24:55):
Last October, I wrote about an incident that occurred at
Wisconsin's Famous yet Pizza, where in the beloved local pizza
joint accidentally laced several pizzas and it's not several dozens
of pizzas with high concentration doses of THCHC. Then it
unknowingly served the pizzas to its customers. This week, the
CDC released its official report on how that happened. Famous
(25:17):
Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Sure it was just your
average neighborhood pizza spots serving up slices and garlic bread.
In October twenty twenty four, customers reported feeling extraordinarily high
after eating some of their pizzas. Over the span of
three days, at least eighty five unsuspecting diners were intentionally
(25:38):
dosed with high levels of THCHC after the restaurant accidentally
used infused cooking oil from a shared kitchen.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
From a shared kitchen right next to the Weed Food Bakery.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, the which is a genius business to have the
Weed store next to the Yeti's Pizza store. Of course,
this is marketing. So the restaurant ran yet He's ran
out of cooking oil on October twenty second and borrowed
a batch from a shared commercial kitchen space. Unbeknownst to
the staff, the oil was laced with THHC courtesy of
(26:12):
a neighboring edibles manufacturer operating in the same facility. So
you know that is like humming with.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
T oh my god.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And also it's like Wisconsin. These nice alcoholics, they're not
used to this wit out here. Nobody would even report
this is Wednesday. The result was dozens of people getting
their minds blasted in the space good right with the
very thing they would usually order after getting high. Customers
(26:44):
reported all the usual signs of being stoned, like dizzyness, sleepiness,
and anxiety. If you're on edibles, then you have that
anxious that is really bad. It's rough because that can
last hours, and you're like, I know, I'm okay, and.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Even if it doesn't last, it's gonna feel like it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, So all emergencies services first caught wind of the
chaos on October fourth, when seven people land in the
hospital exhibiting classic signs of THHC intoxication. Some of them
had no idea what had hit them, like one customer
who had only learned he tested a positive for THHC
after arriving at the hospital despite never knowingly consuming cannabis,
(27:27):
Which makes sense. Some of these people just ate their
pizza and probably have never been high before in their lives.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, it's Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, it's an alcoholic state. This is not a week.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
This isn't spotted cow baby, No, not at all. This
is dark.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Of the eighty five people affected, forty seven were men,
thirty eight were women, and eight were under the age
of eighteen. Wild ride. Thirty three sought medical attention, including
three who were hospitalized overnight. Fortunately, no one suffered serious
long term harm. Contamination was deemed accidental. No charges were
filed as there was no identifiable criminal mastermind to apprehend
(28:07):
it was an accident. I hope famous.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, thirty three went to the hospital. That means we
have to assume another thirty three probably would have gone
to the hospital. But they just wrote it out. And
then I'm hoping that there's twenty three of them that
just had a fantastic night.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, I agree, what a time.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I just hope. I just hope at least a couple
we're just like, well, it wasn't my plan, but I
guess I just found myself a ticket. I'm taking the ride.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
I was thinking, what if like a little league team
had done it, as it would.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Feel so bad, like a like a little sports team
of like kids.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
No breaks my heart. That breaks my heart. I can't
imagine it. I don't want to not me.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What if it was the championship game, they had a
pizza party, they've never felt this level of victory before,
and then all night they're like, this is what it
feels like to be a winner. This euphoria for sixteen
and we'll say I'll wrap this story up because this
is interesting. Fantaus idy is public apology, promise to tighten storage,
(29:22):
all that. But the CDC now warns that these types
of mass THHC intoxication events are becoming more common as
cannabis infused products share spaces with everyday food businesses and
they just basically the CDC, which has been gutted, suggests
better regulations and more transparent labeling. But I mean, really,
(29:43):
if you have a vat of cooking oil that is
THHG concentrate, you have to write like humongous tch over it.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm sorry. Part of me is like, I do you
know you can smell the cooking oil?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes, especially once it gets hot.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, And I was like, well, you can smell it.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
So I'm also wondering what what they're adding it.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
To like, because I don't do I'm not sure. For
you use cooking oil when I'm making pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I know it must be in the pants, in the dough.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You put it, Yeah, you use it in the dough,
but then you'll also put it on the pan before
you slap your dough on. And then some people actually, yeah,
it just carts out.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There's a slapping his dough all over the oiled pants.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I'm a I'm a four year old slapping my dough.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Also it says Wisconsin style pizza most commonly. First it's
an educational podcast, Jenny, we dive deep here often refers
to Milwaukee style tavern pizza thin, cracker like crestles, crispy
and cut squares. So maybe it's that they're cooked in
the pan on oil would be my best guess it. Also,
I love tavern style. It is delicious.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
It also is like that Chuck E Cheese pizza they
did the squares.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Familiar.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I eat Chuck E Cheese pizza on a semi regular base,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Oh yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It's so bad.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
The smell of it transports me like that when I smell.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Specifically childhood memory. It's not you were a dumb child.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And then I and then I would then I would
go and I would look under the skirt of the
mouse of the rock a fire explosions feel like and
it's gears, gears, just for afying mess of metal and gears.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And I went it never again.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I got a shout out, there's there's a pizza place.
That is open around the corner from my house that
used to be in New York and now is here
called Corner Slice and it is. It's a I guess
it's a New York style square pie is so like
it is like it's so crazy and crispy and it's
(32:05):
like it's unbelievable good. I love it so much, So
shout out to Corner Slice in Maplewood, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Curon, are you starting to do a comedy show out there?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I had plans to me and Dave Ross, We're going
to start a show. We're gonna call it so he
I used to run Hot Tub and he used to
run Good Heroin, So it was going to be called
Hot Heroin, No good hot or hot good.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
That's a good name.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Hot good, right, hot good. It's pretty good. Yeah, we
still will. I think, you know, eventually, when things slow
down for me.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I understand. I was just thinking, you got Jenny right here,
and you've got a great touring comic and I feel
like maple Wood needs the best ault comedy show in
that area. I feel like that could become a great show,
and I feel like Corner Sliced Pizza could be the
main spot.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
No. I am also doing a show February sixth at
the Elks Club.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's what I'm talking about, the Elks Lodge.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
The Elks Lodge in South Orange, New Jersey, which is
around the corner from my house. It is so cool,
it's so dope. It is like inside is just kind
of like a dive bar from the nineties, and the
drinks are like priced like it's the nineteen it's like
it's nineteen ninety four, and it's just feels so exactly
what it is. And it's going to be me and
(33:25):
Eugene Merman and Todd Levin and in this indie rock
band is local indie rock band. Wow, February sixth.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
That's awesome. If I'm in town, I'm coming to it
all right.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
My my family's in the Living Stont which is right
around Oh yes, kind of right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Oh that could be great.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, Jersey.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well, that's good to know that you have family at here.
So if I do another show.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
They're not going to come, no, but I mean you will,
like you would be willing, you would be willing to
come to New Jersey's letting you know they no, but
you are familiar.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Yes, I know I would come out, yes, just to hang.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I can. I also just hang sometimes I don't perform.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Ever, I do appreciate that so many comics won't watch
other comedians unless they're on the show, or they won't
watch their specials, and I like their comics watch comic.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I like watching.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
If you're taping a special, I'm coming, I'm gonna hang
out right, We're gonna party.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I also have an anxiety about talking with comics during shows,
because we're always in spaces where I feel like it's disruptive.
Comics don't seem to give a shit, and it drives
me crazy. So I'm always just like, I can't talk.
I was like, I'm gonna go watch, and then I
go watch quietly because I can't have a conversation and
not feel like I'm gonna freak out inside.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yes, when you both, both Kurt and Jenny have distinctive
laughs that I could hear in a crowd. I know
when both if you are laughing, So that's good for
you guys. I'm sure the comics on stage are like
Kurt laughed, Jenny laughed.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I did go to a I went to a comedy show.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
I went to go see Caitlin Palufo do her special
and I was sitting next to Peter if we're out
his last name, but I put my stuff in between
us on the chair because I was like, it's cool.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't you know. I love personal space. I'm giving
him personal space.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
And then as the night went on, I felt guiltier
and guiltier that I wasn't sitting right next to him.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm like, he must think I hate him.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
He must think I'm disgusted by it, and just like
full on panic attack by the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
And they're crazy and they're crazy, and he didn't think
about it once.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm sure he couldn't have given a ship.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
We had an interesting thing when Kristin Schaal did her
half hour. Kurt was a big part of the show,
her like one of her first Comedy Central half hours.
And then I was a plant in the front row
where I pretend her to be your boyfriend. She asked
me on stage, asked me to make.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I remember that I remember that one.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Okay, so it's early trilogy. It was really fun, but
so I had to sit there and I was miked,
but it was secret. Everybody had to believe I was real.
And the girl next to me, twenty one, really young person,
was just like, are you a fan of her comedy?
Do you watch Play the Concord all these things?
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know her. This is
my girlfriend. I know her and like, oh yeah, she's
the best. And she's like, oh, this is like I
just moved to New York. And there was like a
light so clearly just pointing at me in the audience,
like the whole rest of the house lights are down
except just old dummy white guy in the middle, just
fully illuminated for the taping they did.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
That's classic, man. And so I'm playing the part later
where the bit starts happening.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Exactly or just bring it up like I was for
just taking the time out, And so I do the
bit and the old thing is Christen's like is it
because you had a gay scare? Is it because all
these things? And then I throw a cupcake and I
say it's your fault and walk away. That person it
was Jennif Friedman sitting next to me. She had just
moved to New York. Yes it was she, so speaking
(37:04):
of comics, watching comics. She had just arrived to New York.
I think this was her first like taping she'd ever seen.
And here I am just lying right to her face,
being like, oh this this nice young person wants to
get into comedy. And she really did. But it was Jenna,
And years later, when she started touring more and growing,
she was like, that was you right? You were the
(37:24):
guy that got put up on stage and pretended and
broke Kristen's heart. We all booed you and hissed it.
You was left. Yes, it was Jenni Friedman. Oh that's
so great. Is that funny? Small world? Small World? I
love it.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I love it all right.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Here it is.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
The secret, the secret Wikipedia prank behind the Pringles mascot's
first name.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I'm curious about this. I didn't know he had a.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Name, Julia. Oh yes, Julius.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Julius Springle.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
It wasn't until two thousand and six, when these kids
just altered the Wikipedia page that it became truth.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
All right, that's a great teaser to some thumbs ups.

her a bananimal. Chandler also says they're making bananas candy
bracelets for an upcoming festival with her boyfriend and Candy

Good for you, have fun, be safe. Shannon wants to
thumb up her primary care physician. Earlier this year, Shannon
(38:27):
went in for a regular appointment. The doctor spotted in
a large lymph node two ultrasounds in a biopsy. Later,
Shannon had thyroid cancer. I had gotten discovered with thyroid cancer.
She's gone through surgeries to get her thyroid and lymphnodes removed,
and she has been doing all the treatments and she
should right now be cancer free. And she just wanted

She says Monty was such a sweet pup and got
even sweeter in the car ride to the shelter in
the squad car. And then she says, I was fortunate
enough to be able to adopt her last week. I
had no plans of ever getting a dog, but I
am glad to confirm that we both found each other.
Thumbs up to Monty for her resiliency.

great plan for artists who want to leave. Yeah, I

(40:49):
She's a friend of ours. Got support and say you're
a bananimal and you heard her on the election.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Dude, I did a show. Oh my god, there were
bananimals at I did this show. My buddy Matt Donnelly
called me up, who I used to improvise with. He
lives in Vegas, and he was like, I'm going to
be in town. I was going to do a show
that he used to work at this bar in Montclair
called Tyrannees. It's just like old dive. And I was like, oh,
I'll do a show with you. That'd be great. And
then so we show up. I don't know what to expect.
(41:15):
He still does a lot of improv. I haven't done
improv in twenty years, and he was like, and I
did a set and then he's like, would you come
up and do like some improv? And I was like,
I don't. I haven't done it in twenty years man,
and he's like, come on, and I was like, oh,
you're good, and I went up and I had so
much fun. I was like tears multiple times, and scenes
(41:36):
I was crying with tears that I'd like pretend like
I was actually crying, but tears coming down my face
for like a long period of time.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
It was so good for my soul.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
It's so nice to reconnect with stuff you used to do.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yes, Oh yeah, it really is. And I like, you've
had a rebirth, right, yeah, have you been reconnecting with things, oh,
parts of yourself that you thought we're gone.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Well.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
I don't know if you guys have been watching my
social media, but I dress up in colonial costumes a
lot now and it's fun as fuck because when I
was younger, I always loved American history. I loved I
was a big fan of Mozart I'm a Dai's favorite
movie since I was five. I've always been a fucking weird,
(42:21):
like eighteenth century weirdo. And so I just was like,
I have adult money and I've I own three costumes.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Now that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yeah. I just got my first Continental Congress one where
I'll be playing Frederick.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
Yeah, I'm going to be playing on November seventh for
another show.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Frederic Vonsteuben. Do you know who he is?
Speaker 5 (42:41):
No, he's the first openly gay general in the Continental Army.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Hell yeah, what's the Continental Army?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
That the continent? That's our army, George Washington is.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
The continent American revolution the Revolutionary Army.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
Well, they're continental because they're trying.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
They one of the reasons fighting the continent, Well, they wanted.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
To expand to the continents.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
One of the reasons why they went against the king
was like the king was like, you can't cross the
Appalachians colonists and colonists love to colonize, and they were like, well,
we're going to keep going.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
It's probably our best skill as a race.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
That's what I've been doing, is I've been connecting with
my love of colonial history, and no one cares for me.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
When we did we did a Bananas live in Philadelphia
a couple of years ago, and I stayed in air
Andbnb and the first thing I saw, I was like,
I'll take a walk around, and the first thing I
saw was a guy that was clearly a Ben Franklin
tour guide but he was just smoking a cigarette, checking
his phone, and I was like, this is paradise. Just
(43:52):
still had the wigs, still had the fat suit on,
still have everything. And the colonial garb Ye also had
to have been a woman drag at the Continental Congress.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
Yeah, so there's Deborah Sampson. Is one Deborah Sampson if
she was in from Boston and she dressed as a
young boy to go fight in the army. There's there's
lots of instances of women dressing in drag. And they
also had women who were in Okay, I feel like I'm.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Doing I feel I'm going a little crazy.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
So they also had they had women who would fight
who were there. So like Valley Forge had tons of
women and children who were there that were helping because
you like actually to make everything from scratch and someone
had to do your laundry and someone had to cook
and like all this stuff. And the thing the thing
about Valley Forge is that they were doing so poorly,
(44:42):
so that Ben Franklin hired this gay general.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
Who was too gay for the Prussian Army. They kicked
him out.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
That's pretty gay because big time, so.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
So Frederick von Steuben.
Speaker 5 (44:56):
That so he Franklin's like go to America. He shows up,
whips the Valley forged people into shape. George Washington knows,
everyone knows he's gay.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
He would have.
Speaker 5 (45:10):
Parties at Valley Forge that were like you could come,
but you weren't allowed to wear pants.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
So like.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
This, I mean he was gay.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Everybody's going because he was so good.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
He's such a good general and his parties are so fun.
Everybody kisses and so then after the army, after the war,
he adopts two men because you can't marry, but he
adopts two men. And his house is in New Jersey,
so you can go to the house he lived in.
It's I think up near like the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
You can go see his house.
Speaker 5 (45:45):
So that's that's on my list of things to do.
Is my artist date is to go to Frederic von
Schwueben's house and just revel in the eighteenth century almostsexuality.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Well, if I ever do your show, I'll be Molly
Pitcher and I'll have two giant pitchers of water and
I'll just come running across the stage spilling water or
just back and forth. But you can be like, if
you need an end, of an act. I'll just come
by you're like Molly, and I'll just be in full
drag splashing water out of two pitchers.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
I hope they did not replace the Molly Pitcher rest
stop on the Turnpike because that was always a nice one.
But they've been like replacing like stops, like now the
cheesequake stop is now John bon Jovi. What but you
walk in in one whole wall. Swear to god, it's
(46:38):
the thirty foot tall wall probably ninety foot long. It's
a whole video wall that just plays on Jovie's songs
in the rest of it. It's fucking crazy.
Speaker 7 (46:48):
You could get a burger king and then just sit
and be consumed by like one hundred and twenty thousand
square feet of bon Jovi playing on the wall.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
It's my life. And then you bite into a whopper
and just stare all right, here here it is. We'll
wrap it up.

Here it is secret Wikipedia prank behind the Pringles mascot's
first name. This was written by Jack Morse. Here it is.
This is a great This is why Jack Morris is
best in.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
The best in the beeswax easily.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Julius Pringle is living a lie true. The mustachios sporting
mascot for the popular Kellogg's Own brand of dehydrated processed
potato crisps has gone through numerous redesigns over the years,
most recently losing his stylized flop of hair, but throughout
it all, his name has remained a constant Julius Pringle
or if a Kellogg's copywriter was feeling particular feisty, mister
(48:38):
p or so the world might have continued to believe,
were it not for a toss to side tweet casually
revealing the truth behind the moniker the name Julius Pringles,
which Kellogg's claims as officially trademarked. Through a search of
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Great Name for
Julius Pringle returns no immediate results. Look looks not to
have come from a marketing team or some long forgotten
(49:00):
Pringles founder. Rather, the name stems from two Wikipedia savvy,
hoax loving college students snackingway on sour cream and hung
and Pringles in their dorm room back in two thousand
and six. Justin Sillock, who goes by platypus T one
hundred and twenty two on Twitter. What year is this?
(49:20):
Twenty twenty two on Twitter, shared an abbreviated version on
March twenty two of how he says this all went down.
Short versions, they made up a name for a mustachioed
snack food mascot, edited to Wikipedia, and over time, due
to luck and a change of ownership, it's stuck and
the company now claims ownership of it.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
He wrote.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
We reached out to both Pringles and Clogs, which bought
Pringles from Procter and Gamble in twenty twenty twelve, in
an attempt to verify that claim received no immediate response. However,
the Internet never forgets, and in this case, there are
enough Julius related breadcrumbs leading back to Platypus two twenty
two to lend some serious credibility to his claim for
(50:04):
a starter as. A dig through Wikipedia's edit history shows
an edit from December of two thousand and six adding
the name Julius to the Pringles Wikipedia page. That edit
was made by a wikipediator Wikipedia editor with the handle
you guessed it Platypus two twenty two. Love it isn't
this great?
Speaker 5 (50:24):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Good dedication.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
This is a true detective I would watch.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Oh And when reached for Commentlock Sherlock explained that his
sour cream and onion loving friend in question was Michael Wiseman,
who has never hidden his role in Pringles mythmaking. Umm
oh all right, so interesting Pringles like like keeps tweeting
stuff and then Michael just goes, uh, you know that
(50:50):
my friend Platypus two twenty two. And I made up
the name Julius Springles in college.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
Right, I like the name Julius Springles.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Yeah, I love it. Oh, what do they get paid?
Speaker 3 (51:02):
For it though, like are they going to assume and
be like you owe us money.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
No, they immediately trademarked it.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
So it looks like, I knows a weird thing where
they avoided they're not chips because they were voting some
tax things. So they're considered crisps because they're like dried
wet potato. Yeah, like they're it's not like a slice
of potato. So yeah, there was something that they were like,
we are crisps, and so they didn't have to pay
(51:29):
some potato chip tax I get it. Life is dumb,
I get it from him.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
I was very surprised when it seemed like Pringles officially
adopted it, but based on the timing, I always assumed
that after the sale of the brand from Brocter and
Gamble to Kellogg's, some intern didn't know mister P's first
name looked it up, assuming the PNG came up with
this and used it, thus setting all this in motion.
It also helps that Julius Pringles is perfect as a
(51:55):
full version of mister p is. I don't think PNG
would have made the mistake. I love it there it is, guys.
Thank you so much Jenny.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
For me, Thanks for having me I do think that
Julius Springles is perfect good perfect good job.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Hello, I'm so happy to be back back on the pod.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Back on the pod, back on the banana.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know it looks like.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You're Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. You're
clearly in a hotel room. So you're currently on the road.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Either in a hotel room or you've got the fucking
weirdest sense of style anyone. I know.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
I just love the ambiance of a Hampton Inn. It
just really takes you to a special place.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I always put two queen beds in one room.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Nothing makes you not feel alone like two beds. Just
an empty queen bed one foot away.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Oh it is It is not empty, look at all. Yeah,
that is the storage bed exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It's the storage bed.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
I don't put my clothes away, you gross. I want
them to be where the most bed bugs might be.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's on a bed.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Recently, hold on, recently, I did find bed bugs in
a hotel room.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, what did you do?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You just I mean I slept in it.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Them all up, put them in.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I put them in my mouth, and I said, let's go.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Boys.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
So I was in this hotel. It was like a
one am check in on the road. I've been driving
for like nine hours. It was a shitty hotel, and
I was like.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm going to check.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm not going to be that person that judges a
hotel by it's you know, by whatever highway it's off of.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
And so I went in. I looked. I didn't see anything.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I did see a flea, which I was like, that's great,
that's enough.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
But I was like I can deal with the flea.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
I got pets, and then I took a shower and
I was like, I'm going to check one more time.
And then I took off all the cover, like the
middle of the cover, and in the middle was a
little bed bug that hadn't eaten for a while.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
And I was like, I'm out. And then I left.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, such a Did they refunded you and everything?
Speaker 6 (03:50):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
And I specifically all my stuff was on was like
away from the bed. You don't put anything on any
carpeted surface. But I threw away all my close like yeah,
I just at their way the suitcase, I was.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Like, well, it's not worth taking the chance.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No, no, So and now I'm back in New York City.
But right now I'm in a Arabur, Michigan at the
The ann Arbor Comedy Showcase. It's a great little room.
You know, college kids run amok and everyone wants to
laugh and it's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh that's awesome. So it's a fun room very much. Yeah,
oh nice. So tell us about the New Hour. I
know that it is a it's a I'm not going
to say heavy. It has a heavy subject behind it.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But yeah, it is. It is heavy. I think that
heaviness can be funny.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
So I kind of recount the title after Birth is
basically about how messy it can get when you're starting
your life over.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
So I went I moved to.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
New York City from LA I went through a really
awful breakup, my sister passed away, and.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
And I kind of was like, I got to start
my life all over again.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
And it's, you know, musings on what to do when
your life doesn't go how you had planned.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Which for a lot of us that happens.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
But it's also you know, I talk about trying to
get pregnant and not have a partner, and like, what's
that like as a woman in your thirties when you're like, well,
I want a family, but I don't need the other half.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
I'll go to a bank, I'll find it. Come is
everywhere it is?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You can't you guys know it's pezz without hitting companies espectually.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Where you are currently is Florida ceiling company.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Guys, I'm pregnant.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Now you are pregnant from that chair.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
Or there is no there is no cup chair in
this office. I will say her in this room, no
cup chair.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Crazy. It is a very common hotel occurrence. We love
a cop chair again, great place to put your stuff, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Ragging on my come.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Goodness, my goodness. It's Shue. Curta and I stayed in
a hotel in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, and one of
the people were like, there's a chair in my room
that it is completely covered and seemen and we were like,
all right, call times at six am.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Then I opened my drawer. Was it me or you
opened the drawer and it was just fingernail clippings.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh my god, that was me Because I was like,
I wonder if they even have a Gideon's Bible in
this one, and it was just all nail clippings. And
then the one of our one of our crew heard
something at night and he like looks out the people,
and it was one of those hotels that's just ride
on the parking lot, like you park right outside the door.
(06:46):
So he's looking at the people and he doesn't see anything,
and he keeps hearing something, and then he just opens
up the door to check. And a junkie who was
currently high had leaned his chair back against the door.
So when he opened the door, a man who is
knocked out on Heroin rolled backwards into his room like
(07:07):
a backward somersault and landed in his room.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Oh my god, room serviced.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
So anyways, yeah, order a junkie. It is a strange
transaction that we just rent. Yeah, basic amenities. There's walls
and a toilet and and and then there's levels of that.
How good and how bad is it?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Look?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
I have I think frequenting the hot tub twice since
I've been here, because you know what, I haven't had

November sixteenth, I'm preparing premiering it at the New York
Comedy Club for the New York Comedy Festival. And then
I'm going to be in Seattle. I'm going to be

(09:38):
We're going to Wisconsin. We're going all over the place, London, everywhere.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Oh, that's so exciting.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Where you got doing in London?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
January eighth, I'm doing it at top secret. Okay, I'm
doing premiering it. It's also my birth.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
British the animals go see Jenny on her birthday in London,
January eighth.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, six pm, cigarette after broak.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You want to hear about this ape shit story McCarthy, McCormack,
McCarthy's X wife. Here it is. This is in the Atlantic.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Oh, it's like the Atlantic.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, this is a very real story. This was by
Danielle Wiener Bronner, Danielle.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Is there any relation to you, Kurt, just a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I think it's more a relationship to doctor Bronner. That's
what it is. Br I mean Wiener Bronner is an
amazing name.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I found this on Instagram account called fuck it, I'm
a robot. Nice McCarthy's ex wife pulled a gun out
of her vagina or an argument about aliens. This is
printed in The Atlantic in twenty fourteen. Different time, Different time.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Better times. That was Obama's era, way better.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
In the Annals of Bizarre crime stories, even Carmick McCarthy
couldn't come up with one. This bizarre some sort of
sexy version of quote guess where I put my gun?
Honey turned ugly when forty eight year old Jennifer McCarthy
of New Mexico. No, not that Jenny McCarthy pulled a
firearm out of her vagina where else and pointed it
(11:30):
at her boyfriend's head after a dispute over aliens. What
else got a little two heated. According to the Albuquerque Journal,
McCarthy reportedly stormed out during a fight over extraterrestrial life
with her unnamed boyfriend and then returned with a plan
for vengeance. The police report describes how she went to
her bedroom dressed up in lingerie, put the gun in
(11:51):
a place no gun should go, then somehow performed an
unspecified sex act with the gun inside her. Naturally, that
was just a prelude to pulling the gun on out,
pointing out her boyfriend, and asking the presumably rhetorical question,
who is crazy?
Speaker 5 (12:04):
You were me, well, I have so many questions, and
none of them are who's crazy?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Because we know yes, boyfriend, I have no idea it
must be I don't know. It does not say the
anonymous boyfriend took the gun away and dropped it in
the toilet.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Smart it's impossible to get one. Once a gun hits
the toilet, it's invisible.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
McCarthy then took it out of the toilet, and then
he just threw it in the trash. Does any of
this make any sense to you? And that was not
even they didn't even have a question mark on it.
If all of that wasn't enough to get this story
off the police blodder and into the inboxes of office
workers everywhere, there's one more little trivia tidbit to add.
(12:50):
McCarthy is the most recent ex wife of celebrated author
Cormick McCarthy, who has presumably never written a book where
character uses a vagina for a holster. McCarthy was charged
with aggravated assault on a household member and was released
on Sunday at five thousand dollars bail. So remember, kids,
stay safe. If you in a romantic partner are discussing
whether or not you've ever met an alien and you
say you have, and he says it's impossible, and you say,
(13:14):
an alien taught me how to do things with a
gun you wouldn't believe, and he says you're crazy, and
you say you're crazy, and then you plot a sweet
revenge plot where you dress up in your sexiest carb
do sort of subductive vagina gun dance before delivering the
perfect line in a measured, throaty vest.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's true, who is crazy? You wore me?
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Make sure there are no bullets in the gun?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
You know? I like that writing. Good job ween or Browner,
that's yeah. The first thing as soon as you said,
she put on Laingderie in the other room, and then
you know, hid the gun in her snooter. I was like,
so when she came back out, what did the bottom
half of that lingerie look like.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Way honeyway honey, did you just.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
He thought he was gonna get pegged that night, maybe.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Excited?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Yeah, and he was, so he was like, oh yeah.
And then there's just I don't know any gun no
that would fit. Also, she's she's the ex wife of
a famous author.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yes, Cormil mccarthury, Rode the.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Road Blood Meridians Horses.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
The one with the guy with the walking around with
shooting people with the.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
No Country for Old Man. Yeah, the guy walking around
shooting people. I love when people describe movies because all
of us pitch television shows and movies. We all do
so much extra work just to be like, it's this
guy's walk around shooting people and he's got a funny haircut,
and whatdy Harrelson's in it. And you're like, oh, that
sounds like a pretty fun movie.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
But was that the Is that the one where he's
shooting people with the with the cow?
Speaker 7 (14:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, So first of all, okay, first
of all, that really shift did my reality because I
was like, oh, these are clearly kind of white, trashy people.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
But in the divorce to that.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Guy, she made some money.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
You got some money, You got money?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, what I mean, I don't know what time, what
year Old Country, No Country for Old Men came out,
but still the road was already very big.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, blood Meridians. He has five best sellers.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's got a lot of best sellers money.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
And he lives in the desert, so he's got unless
he's a true method lunatic, which I don't think he was.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Yeah, but they are desert people, and if we all
know one thing, it is desert people are a different
type of people.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Also, the we had we're not considering how expensive it
is to get a custom gun shaped to your vagina.
They probably costs the majority of the money she got
in the divorce smelting.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
But is it just the barrel that is the shape?
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah right, or.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
The handle stills like a gun, but the barrel.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Or where does the handle go? Is it you know,
cartoon curved gun? And then you have to shoot it
over your shoulder? I am. I Also sometimes when I
hear we get stories like this, we don't really ever
do like assaults or anything, but like there's a lot
of stories we get sent that are people like flying
off the handle for and it's always something like this,
our aliens real or not. Let's get to the point
(16:23):
where I'm doing a costume change and then pointing a
gun at you, like it takes so much from me
to even yell. Yeah, also point a weapon at somebody.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
The final the final idea of what happened, where she
said aliens taught me how to do this or that's
what Danielle Yeah, Wien or Browner was suggesting that all
of a sudden makes much more sense where it was
like she was just doing a demonstration. It wasn't threat.
There was just a demonstration.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Oh I see.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And then it's like, who's crazy me?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
And then well, I wonder the gun out of the toilet,
so it's wrong.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
I wonder if if he had made her come, would
she have taken that gun out?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Never want never once.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
I think this is a woman's last resort.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
I think yes, as a therapist, I would say the
aliens are covering up on the surface something that is deeper.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, I agree, Yeah, I agree. Thank you very much, Jenny,
you welcome got to the bottom of this finally.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Good for her, Good for her for standing up for
what she believes. Yeah, man. And then do they continue,
do they stay together as a couple.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
I mean he put it in the toilet and then
the trash.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, yeah, he's just like that's the best part of
the story to me, where it's just like come on, yeah,
it was very like, girl put it in the toilet.
All right, we'll put in the trash. Come on, quit it,
Quit it on, babe.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
Let's let's go to shake shack before they close.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Okay, And yeah, I'm lying about the alien thing, and
I didn't mean to bring it up. Let's go out
to your she shed.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I was given The Road to read in high school.
It's the most upsetting book on the face of the planet.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
It is so upsetting.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I read it in one day. It's one of the
only books I've ever read cover to cover in one day.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Short sentences, very point, very like a Hemingway in that's
not a word.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Yeah, it doesn't make you happy. Doesn't make you happy
when you read The Road. Neither does Blood Britian with
one of the most horrific endings. And it's a whole
book about scalping, and you're like, boy, I am too
young to be even considering this amount of evil in
the World.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Which book?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
That's blood Merinian, it's about this.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Another high school.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
No. I did not need college for me, and I
did not know it.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
In high school. Sorry, came out to.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
The High School of Life.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
High School of Life.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I was in college. You were way out?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, I was. I had a full time
job in the city. Read the road on the subway.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
What was the horrific thing you read in high school?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
So much?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh my god? The things shrug, things they carried, was like.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I did read that?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
What about that one where they had their like bestest
friends and then he dies of Steinbeck.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
No, No, every boy has read it.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's high school, high school boys and their runners. And
it's like people are yelling it at me right now?
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Are you there, God, it's me Margaret great one.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, well that that teaches you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
How to put a gun in your vagina. It's a
secret chapter that boys are allowed to read. It's just
for women.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
See any women see the words. There's just ten pages
that are blank to them.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
In that middle I went. I went to Catholic school. Jenny,
did you go to a private school or anything?
Speaker 3 (20:09):
Going to a charter arts high school?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Charter?
Speaker 1 (20:12):
That's good? Yeah, And fourth grade, and there was just
one day where they were like, all the boys recess,
all the girls stay in your seats, and we were like,
what is hat? We were so jealous. We're like, what
are I bet they're getting ice cream. I bet they're
watching a movie. They're probably watching Free Willie those what
(20:36):
age fourth grade?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Eleven?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, and they kind of and and so we're just
running around, you know, like they're like, get the gym teacher,
just get a man out there to look at the
kids on the playground. We're all beating the tar out
of each other. And then the girls got there like
this is coming, Yeah, this will be because I think
one of the girls had her period by fourth grade. Yeah,
and so they were like, all right, let's do it
so she doesn't feel like an outcast. And we were
(21:00):
like looking through the windows, what are you doing in there?
What is the secret society?
Speaker 5 (21:05):
I can imagine when you got back in the classroom,
just the horrified looks on all the girls who just
are quiet and just like, oh god, a single tear?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Would it have been better with Jenny? If if you
were in that scenario where you were getting educated about
about periods, it wouldn't be better if the boys also
had the information.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
They were in the room when we did it for you, Yeah,
for regular yeah, regular elementary.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
The boys were there.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Wow, yeah, Catholics.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
I do remember, and this has been burned into my
memory as a as a bad time is There was
like a box where you could ask any questions anonymously,
and I remember the kids being like.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Last year, somebody was like, what's sex like?
Speaker 5 (22:00):
And they all laughed and it's like ha, And then
I was like, well, if it's anonymous, I'm gonna ask
that question.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
And then I asked.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
So I asked that question, and then like the teacher
just looked at me and then moved on.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Just new Is it new to answer it?
Speaker 1 (22:18):
No?
Speaker 2 (22:19):
No, was the question what is sex like?
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It was something like something like that.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
It would have been crazy if she answered it.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
I would have been insane. Fifth grade.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
My mom did that. She was a high school teacher,
but she had a box on Fridays would answer any
questions health related, wellness related, sex related, and then you know,
they get joke ones and she would joke back. But
I feel like even that would probably get a little
I don't know if that would pass the mustard.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Today, it feels like nothing. Yeah, never do it.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Sex feels like nothing. It feels like nothing, or it
feels like everything.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Next question, Jenny, Jenny, why do you ask your mom
about that?
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
My health teacher same high school is the also the
head wrestling coach, and we won states and stuff. So
he was very good at that job and very not
so good at the health teacher part. And he would
answer that box and he would just read it and
just say not true answers and just move on. Yeah,
he would be It would be like, well, I'll say
(23:26):
this one and then I'll consider if we cut it out.
But at one point I think my mom had one
where somebody wrote, if a woman is pregnant you have
sex with her, will your penis hit the baby in
the womb? And my mom knew who wrote it and said,
for example, not yours, Kurt so Like, which which I
(23:51):
don't think would pass with the age of cell phones either.
But I love just I love it so much to
be like, oh, you thought you were being funny and
then just the red face disaster that.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
It's gotta give me one.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I got one for you. Eric Simpson sent this in
thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Eric.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
If you want to send your stories in. You can
always do it on The Banan's Podcast Instagram or the
The Bananas Podcast at Gmail, or you can d m

we would love to have you. Vice Magazine still in business.
Apparently this was written by Louis Prada, who a lot
of people say is the best in the biz. This
(24:35):
pizza place accidentally served pizzas laced with t HC. Now
you know that's I don't think that's an accident. This
is I will give Louis Prada credit because it does
explain everything very well. Yes, Louise, Louise is the best.
(24:55):
Last October, I wrote about an incident that occurred at
Wisconsin's Famous yet Pizza, where in the beloved local pizza
joint accidentally laced several pizzas and it's not several dozens
of pizzas with high concentration doses of THCHC. Then it
unknowingly served the pizzas to its customers. This week, the
CDC released its official report on how that happened. Famous
(25:17):
Yeti's Pizza in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Sure it was just your
average neighborhood pizza spots serving up slices and garlic bread.
In October twenty twenty four, customers reported feeling extraordinarily high
after eating some of their pizzas. Over the span of
three days, at least eighty five unsuspecting diners were intentionally
(25:38):
dosed with high levels of THCHC after the restaurant accidentally
used infused cooking oil from a shared kitchen.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
From a shared kitchen right next to the Weed Food Bakery.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, the which is a genius business to have the
Weed store next to the Yeti's Pizza store. Of course,
this is marketing. So the restaurant ran yet He's ran
out of cooking oil on October twenty second and borrowed
a batch from a shared commercial kitchen space. Unbeknownst to
the staff, the oil was laced with THHC courtesy of
(26:12):
a neighboring edibles manufacturer operating in the same facility. So
you know that is like humming with.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
T oh my god.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
And also it's like Wisconsin. These nice alcoholics, they're not
used to this wit out here. Nobody would even report
this is Wednesday. The result was dozens of people getting
their minds blasted in the space good right with the
very thing they would usually order after getting high. Customers
(26:44):
reported all the usual signs of being stoned, like dizzyness, sleepiness,
and anxiety. If you're on edibles, then you have that
anxious that is really bad. It's rough because that can
last hours, and you're like, I know, I'm okay, and.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Even if it doesn't last, it's gonna feel like it.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yeah, So all emergencies services first caught wind of the
chaos on October fourth, when seven people land in the
hospital exhibiting classic signs of THHC intoxication. Some of them
had no idea what had hit them, like one customer
who had only learned he tested a positive for THHC
after arriving at the hospital despite never knowingly consuming cannabis,
(27:27):
Which makes sense. Some of these people just ate their
pizza and probably have never been high before in their lives.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, it's Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, it's an alcoholic state. This is not a week.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
This isn't spotted cow baby, No, not at all. This
is dark.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Of the eighty five people affected, forty seven were men,
thirty eight were women, and eight were under the age
of eighteen. Wild ride. Thirty three sought medical attention, including
three who were hospitalized overnight. Fortunately, no one suffered serious
long term harm. Contamination was deemed accidental. No charges were
filed as there was no identifiable criminal mastermind to apprehend
(28:07):
it was an accident. I hope famous.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Yeah, thirty three went to the hospital. That means we
have to assume another thirty three probably would have gone
to the hospital. But they just wrote it out. And
then I'm hoping that there's twenty three of them that
just had a fantastic night.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Yeah, I agree, what a time.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I just hope. I just hope at least a couple
we're just like, well, it wasn't my plan, but I
guess I just found myself a ticket. I'm taking the ride.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:43):
I was thinking, what if like a little league team
had done it, as it would.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Feel so bad, like a like a little sports team
of like kids.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
No breaks my heart. That breaks my heart. I can't
imagine it. I don't want to not me.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
What if it was the championship game, they had a
pizza party, they've never felt this level of victory before,
and then all night they're like, this is what it
feels like to be a winner. This euphoria for sixteen
and we'll say I'll wrap this story up because this
is interesting. Fantaus idy is public apology, promise to tighten storage,
(29:22):
all that. But the CDC now warns that these types
of mass THHC intoxication events are becoming more common as
cannabis infused products share spaces with everyday food businesses and
they just basically the CDC, which has been gutted, suggests
better regulations and more transparent labeling. But I mean, really,
(29:43):
if you have a vat of cooking oil that is
THHG concentrate, you have to write like humongous tch over it.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
I'm sorry. Part of me is like, I do you
know you can smell the cooking oil?
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yes, especially once it gets hot.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, And I was like, well, you can smell it.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
So I'm also wondering what what they're adding it.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
To like, because I don't do I'm not sure. For
you use cooking oil when I'm making pizza.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I know it must be in the pants, in the dough.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You put it, Yeah, you use it in the dough,
but then you'll also put it on the pan before
you slap your dough on. And then some people actually, yeah,
it just carts out.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
There's a slapping his dough all over the oiled pants.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
I'm a I'm a four year old slapping my dough.
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Also it says Wisconsin style pizza most commonly. First it's
an educational podcast, Jenny, we dive deep here often refers
to Milwaukee style tavern pizza thin, cracker like crestles, crispy
and cut squares. So maybe it's that they're cooked in
the pan on oil would be my best guess it. Also,
I love tavern style. It is delicious.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
It also is like that Chuck E Cheese pizza they
did the squares.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Familiar.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I eat Chuck E Cheese pizza on a semi regular base,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Oh yeah, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
It's so bad.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
The smell of it transports me like that when I smell.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Specifically childhood memory. It's not you were a dumb child.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (31:25):
And then I and then I would then I would
go and I would look under the skirt of the
mouse of the rock a fire explosions feel like and
it's gears, gears, just for afying mess of metal and gears.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
And I went it never again.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I got a shout out, there's there's a pizza place.
That is open around the corner from my house that
used to be in New York and now is here
called Corner Slice and it is. It's a I guess
it's a New York style square pie is so like
it is like it's so crazy and crispy and it's
(32:05):
like it's unbelievable good. I love it so much, So
shout out to Corner Slice in Maplewood, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Curon, are you starting to do a comedy show out there?
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I had plans to me and Dave Ross, We're going
to start a show. We're gonna call it so he
I used to run Hot Tub and he used to
run Good Heroin, So it was going to be called
Hot Heroin, No good hot or hot good.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
That's a good name.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Hot good, right, hot good. It's pretty good. Yeah, we
still will. I think, you know, eventually, when things slow
down for me.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
I understand. I was just thinking, you got Jenny right here,
and you've got a great touring comic and I feel
like maple Wood needs the best ault comedy show in
that area. I feel like that could become a great show,
and I feel like Corner Sliced Pizza could be the
main spot.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
No. I am also doing a show February sixth at
the Elks Club.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
That's what I'm talking about, the Elks Lodge.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
The Elks Lodge in South Orange, New Jersey, which is
around the corner from my house. It is so cool,
it's so dope. It is like inside is just kind
of like a dive bar from the nineties, and the
drinks are like priced like it's the nineteen it's like
it's nineteen ninety four, and it's just feels so exactly
what it is. And it's going to be me and
(33:25):
Eugene Merman and Todd Levin and in this indie rock
band is local indie rock band. Wow, February sixth.
Speaker 3 (33:34):
That's awesome. If I'm in town, I'm coming to it
all right.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
My my family's in the Living Stont which is right
around Oh yes, kind of right around the corner.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Oh that could be great.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Yeah, Jersey.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Well, that's good to know that you have family at here.
So if I do another show.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
They're not going to come, no, but I mean you will,
like you would be willing, you would be willing to
come to New Jersey's letting you know they no, but
you are familiar.
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Yes, I know I would come out, yes, just to hang.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
I can. I also just hang sometimes I don't perform.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Ever, I do appreciate that so many comics won't watch
other comedians unless they're on the show, or they won't
watch their specials, and I like their comics watch comic.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
I like watching.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
If you're taping a special, I'm coming, I'm gonna hang
out right, We're gonna party.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
I also have an anxiety about talking with comics during shows,
because we're always in spaces where I feel like it's disruptive.
Comics don't seem to give a shit, and it drives
me crazy. So I'm always just like, I can't talk.
I was like, I'm gonna go watch, and then I
go watch quietly because I can't have a conversation and
not feel like I'm gonna freak out inside.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yes, when you both, both Kurt and Jenny have distinctive
laughs that I could hear in a crowd. I know
when both if you are laughing, So that's good for
you guys. I'm sure the comics on stage are like
Kurt laughed, Jenny laughed.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
I did go to a I went to a comedy show.
Speaker 5 (35:09):
I went to go see Caitlin Palufo do her special
and I was sitting next to Peter if we're out
his last name, but I put my stuff in between
us on the chair because I was like, it's cool.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I don't you know. I love personal space. I'm giving
him personal space.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
And then as the night went on, I felt guiltier
and guiltier that I wasn't sitting right next to him.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
I'm like, he must think I hate him.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
He must think I'm disgusted by it, and just like
full on panic attack by the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
And they're crazy and they're crazy, and he didn't think
about it once.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
I'm sure he couldn't have given a ship.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
We had an interesting thing when Kristin Schaal did her
half hour. Kurt was a big part of the show,
her like one of her first Comedy Central half hours.
And then I was a plant in the front row
where I pretend her to be your boyfriend. She asked
me on stage, asked me to make.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I remember that I remember that one.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Okay, so it's early trilogy. It was really fun, but
so I had to sit there and I was miked,
but it was secret. Everybody had to believe I was real.
And the girl next to me, twenty one, really young person,
was just like, are you a fan of her comedy?
Do you watch Play the Concord all these things?
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I know her. This is
my girlfriend. I know her and like, oh yeah, she's
the best. And she's like, oh, this is like I
just moved to New York. And there was like a
light so clearly just pointing at me in the audience,
like the whole rest of the house lights are down
except just old dummy white guy in the middle, just
fully illuminated for the taping they did.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
That's classic, man. And so I'm playing the part later
where the bit starts happening.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Exactly or just bring it up like I was for
just taking the time out, And so I do the
bit and the old thing is Christen's like is it
because you had a gay scare? Is it because all
these things? And then I throw a cupcake and I
say it's your fault and walk away. That person it
was Jennif Friedman sitting next to me. She had just
moved to New York. Yes it was she, so speaking
(37:04):
of comics, watching comics. She had just arrived to New York.
I think this was her first like taping she'd ever seen.
And here I am just lying right to her face,
being like, oh this this nice young person wants to
get into comedy. And she really did. But it was Jenna,
And years later, when she started touring more and growing,
she was like, that was you right? You were the
(37:24):
guy that got put up on stage and pretended and
broke Kristen's heart. We all booed you and hissed it.
You was left. Yes, it was Jenni Friedman. Oh that's
so great. Is that funny? Small world? Small World? I
love it.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
I love it all right.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Here it is.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
The secret, the secret Wikipedia prank behind the Pringles mascot's
first name.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
I'm curious about this. I didn't know he had a.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
Name, Julia. Oh yes, Julius.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Julius Springle.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
It wasn't until two thousand and six, when these kids
just altered the Wikipedia page that it became truth.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
All right, that's a great teaser to some thumbs ups.
Chandler is thumbing up her non binary sibling for making
her a bananimal. Chandler also says they're making bananas candy
bracelets for an upcoming festival with her boyfriend and Candy
spelled with a K, so we know what that means.
Good for you, have fun, be safe. Shannon wants to
thumb up her primary care physician. Earlier this year, Shannon
(38:27):
went in for a regular appointment. The doctor spotted in
a large lymph node two ultrasounds in a biopsy. Later,
Shannon had thyroid cancer. I had gotten discovered with thyroid cancer.
She's gone through surgeries to get her thyroid and lymphnodes removed,
and she has been doing all the treatments and she
should right now be cancer free. And she just wanted
to thumb up her doctor from doctor for making the
(38:49):
discovery and following up enough to investigate and it saved
her life.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Wow, thumbs amazing, thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Thumbs up to primary care physicians. Daily Hewitt wants to
thumb herself up for finishing a robot that she started
back in COVID. She said, I needed some silly joy,
just like y'all. So thumbs up to you, Daily Hewett,
and you're now fully formed robot. And last but not least,
(39:18):
a nice sweet one. Josie great Name wants to thumb
her dog Monty way up somebody had left poor Monty
tied to a post in an alley three weeks ago.
This is now probably four months ago. A community member
called the police. Josie happened to be taking the calls
for service at that time. They went picked up Monty.
(39:39):
She says Monty was such a sweet pup and got
even sweeter in the car ride to the shelter in
the squad car. And then she says, I was fortunate
enough to be able to adopt her last week. I
had no plans of ever getting a dog, but I
am glad to confirm that we both found each other.
Thumbs up to Monty for her resiliency.
Speaker 3 (39:57):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
It's good for you. Josie. Thumbs up to you too
for adopting a rescue.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
That was a great collection.

Yeah, And of course we are here with the absolutely
fantastic Jenny's Agrino. You can go see her new hour
after birth. It's all over really the world. Yeah, yeah, London.
Speaker 5 (40:19):
We're going to be adding dates in Polis, We're going
to be adding dates in Germany, really anywhere I can
possibly move to at some point.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
That's great.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I understand what you're saying, yeah, the Netherlands has a great,
great plan for artists who want to leave. Yeah, I
would love to be in Copenhagen. Oh yes, that would
be a good one. And we do have Dublin ban
animals and we have London animals. So go check out Jenny.
(40:49):
She's a friend of ours. Got support and say you're
a bananimal and you heard her on the election.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Dude, I did a show. Oh my god, there were
bananimals at I did this show. My buddy Matt Donnelly
called me up, who I used to improvise with. He
lives in Vegas, and he was like, I'm going to
be in town. I was going to do a show
that he used to work at this bar in Montclair
called Tyrannees. It's just like old dive. And I was like, oh,
I'll do a show with you. That'd be great. And
then so we show up. I don't know what to expect.
(41:15):
He still does a lot of improv. I haven't done
improv in twenty years, and he was like, and I
did a set and then he's like, would you come
up and do like some improv? And I was like,
I don't. I haven't done it in twenty years man,
and he's like, come on, and I was like, oh,
you're good, and I went up and I had so
much fun. I was like tears multiple times, and scenes
(41:36):
I was crying with tears that I'd like pretend like
I was actually crying, but tears coming down my face
for like a long period of time.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
So I love that.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
It was so good for my soul.
Speaker 3 (41:48):
It's so nice to reconnect with stuff you used to do.
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yes, Oh yeah, it really is. And I like, you've
had a rebirth, right, yeah, have you been reconnecting with things, oh,
parts of yourself that you thought we're gone.
Speaker 1 (42:01):
Well.
Speaker 5 (42:01):
I don't know if you guys have been watching my
social media, but I dress up in colonial costumes a
lot now and it's fun as fuck because when I
was younger, I always loved American history. I loved I
was a big fan of Mozart I'm a Dai's favorite
movie since I was five. I've always been a fucking weird,
(42:21):
like eighteenth century weirdo. And so I just was like,
I have adult money and I've I own three costumes.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Now that's awesome.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
Yeah. I just got my first Continental Congress one where
I'll be playing Frederick.
Speaker 5 (42:35):
Yeah, I'm going to be playing on November seventh for
another show.
Speaker 3 (42:39):
Frederic Vonsteuben. Do you know who he is?
Speaker 5 (42:41):
No, he's the first openly gay general in the Continental Army.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
Hell yeah, what's the Continental Army?
Speaker 3 (42:48):
That the continent? That's our army, George Washington is.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
The continent American revolution the Revolutionary Army.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
Well, they're continental because they're trying.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
They one of the reasons fighting the continent, Well, they wanted.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
To expand to the continents.
Speaker 5 (43:03):
One of the reasons why they went against the king
was like the king was like, you can't cross the
Appalachians colonists and colonists love to colonize, and they were like, well,
we're going to keep going.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
It's probably our best skill as a race.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
That's what I've been doing, is I've been connecting with
my love of colonial history, and no one cares for me.
Speaker 3 (43:26):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
When we did we did a Bananas live in Philadelphia
a couple of years ago, and I stayed in air
Andbnb and the first thing I saw, I was like,
I'll take a walk around, and the first thing I
saw was a guy that was clearly a Ben Franklin
tour guide but he was just smoking a cigarette, checking
his phone, and I was like, this is paradise. Just
(43:52):
still had the wigs, still had the fat suit on,
still have everything. And the colonial garb Ye also had
to have been a woman drag at the Continental Congress.
Speaker 5 (44:02):
Yeah, so there's Deborah Sampson. Is one Deborah Sampson if
she was in from Boston and she dressed as a
young boy to go fight in the army. There's there's
lots of instances of women dressing in drag. And they
also had women who were in Okay, I feel like I'm.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
Doing I feel I'm going a little crazy.
Speaker 5 (44:21):
So they also had they had women who would fight
who were there. So like Valley Forge had tons of
women and children who were there that were helping because
you like actually to make everything from scratch and someone
had to do your laundry and someone had to cook
and like all this stuff. And the thing the thing
about Valley Forge is that they were doing so poorly,
(44:42):
so that Ben Franklin hired this gay general.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
Who was too gay for the Prussian Army. They kicked
him out.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
That's pretty gay because big time, so.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
So Frederick von Steuben.
Speaker 5 (44:56):
That so he Franklin's like go to America. He shows up,
whips the Valley forged people into shape. George Washington knows,
everyone knows he's gay.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
He would have.
Speaker 5 (45:10):
Parties at Valley Forge that were like you could come,
but you weren't allowed to wear pants.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
So like.
Speaker 3 (45:19):
This, I mean he was gay.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Everybody's going because he was so good.
Speaker 5 (45:24):
He's such a good general and his parties are so fun.
Everybody kisses and so then after the army, after the war,
he adopts two men because you can't marry, but he
adopts two men. And his house is in New Jersey,
so you can go to the house he lived in.
It's I think up near like the Palisades.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
You can go see his house.
Speaker 5 (45:45):
So that's that's on my list of things to do.
Is my artist date is to go to Frederic von
Schwueben's house and just revel in the eighteenth century almostsexuality.
Speaker 2 (45:58):
I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (46:00):
Well, if I ever do your show, I'll be Molly
Pitcher and I'll have two giant pitchers of water and
I'll just come running across the stage spilling water or
just back and forth. But you can be like, if
you need an end, of an act. I'll just come
by you're like Molly, and I'll just be in full
drag splashing water out of two pitchers.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
I hope they did not replace the Molly Pitcher rest
stop on the Turnpike because that was always a nice one.
But they've been like replacing like stops, like now the
cheesequake stop is now John bon Jovi. What but you
walk in in one whole wall. Swear to god, it's
(46:38):
the thirty foot tall wall probably ninety foot long. It's
a whole video wall that just plays on Jovie's songs
in the rest of it. It's fucking crazy.
Speaker 7 (46:48):
You could get a burger king and then just sit
and be consumed by like one hundred and twenty thousand
square feet of bon Jovi playing on the wall.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
It's my life. And then you bite into a whopper
and just stare all right, here here it is. We'll
wrap it up.

He's our greatest submitter of stories. Jenny, he is sence
day one.
Speaker 3 (47:57):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Here it is secret Wikipedia prank behind the Pringles mascot's
first name. This was written by Jack Morse. Here it is.
This is a great This is why Jack Morris is
best in.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
The best in the beeswax easily.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Julius Pringle is living a lie true. The mustachios sporting
mascot for the popular Kellogg's Own brand of dehydrated processed
potato crisps has gone through numerous redesigns over the years,
most recently losing his stylized flop of hair, but throughout
it all, his name has remained a constant Julius Pringle
or if a Kellogg's copywriter was feeling particular feisty, mister
(48:38):
p or so the world might have continued to believe,
were it not for a toss to side tweet casually
revealing the truth behind the moniker the name Julius Pringles,
which Kellogg's claims as officially trademarked. Through a search of
the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Great Name for
Julius Pringle returns no immediate results. Look looks not to
have come from a marketing team or some long forgotten
(49:00):
Pringles founder. Rather, the name stems from two Wikipedia savvy,
hoax loving college students snackingway on sour cream and hung
and Pringles in their dorm room back in two thousand
and six. Justin Sillock, who goes by platypus T one
hundred and twenty two on Twitter. What year is this?
(49:20):
Twenty twenty two on Twitter, shared an abbreviated version on
March twenty two of how he says this all went down.
Short versions, they made up a name for a mustachioed
snack food mascot, edited to Wikipedia, and over time, due
to luck and a change of ownership, it's stuck and
the company now claims ownership of it.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
He wrote.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
We reached out to both Pringles and Clogs, which bought
Pringles from Procter and Gamble in twenty twenty twelve, in
an attempt to verify that claim received no immediate response. However,
the Internet never forgets, and in this case, there are
enough Julius related breadcrumbs leading back to Platypus two twenty
two to lend some serious credibility to his claim for
(50:04):
a starter as. A dig through Wikipedia's edit history shows
an edit from December of two thousand and six adding
the name Julius to the Pringles Wikipedia page. That edit
was made by a wikipediator Wikipedia editor with the handle
you guessed it Platypus two twenty two. Love it isn't
this great?
Speaker 5 (50:24):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (50:24):
Good dedication.
Speaker 3 (50:26):
This is a true detective I would watch.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Oh And when reached for Commentlock Sherlock explained that his
sour cream and onion loving friend in question was Michael Wiseman,
who has never hidden his role in Pringles mythmaking. Umm
oh all right, so interesting Pringles like like keeps tweeting
stuff and then Michael just goes, uh, you know that
(50:50):
my friend Platypus two twenty two. And I made up
the name Julius Springles in college.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
Right, I like the name Julius Springles.
Speaker 2 (50:58):
Yeah, I love it. Oh, what do they get paid?
Speaker 3 (51:02):
For it though, like are they going to assume and
be like you owe us money.
Speaker 2 (51:06):
No, they immediately trademarked it.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
So it looks like, I knows a weird thing where
they avoided they're not chips because they were voting some
tax things. So they're considered crisps because they're like dried
wet potato. Yeah, like they're it's not like a slice
of potato. So yeah, there was something that they were like,
we are crisps, and so they didn't have to pay
(51:29):
some potato chip tax I get it. Life is dumb,
I get it from him.
Speaker 2 (51:34):
I was very surprised when it seemed like Pringles officially
adopted it, but based on the timing, I always assumed
that after the sale of the brand from Brocter and
Gamble to Kellogg's, some intern didn't know mister P's first
name looked it up, assuming the PNG came up with
this and used it, thus setting all this in motion.
It also helps that Julius Pringles is perfect as a
(51:55):
full version of mister p is. I don't think PNG
would have made the mistake. I love it there it is, guys.
Thank you so much Jenny.
Speaker 5 (52:04):
For me, Thanks for having me I do think that
Julius Springles is perfect good perfect good job.
