It is March 1991. Latvia and Estonia vote to become independent of the USSR. But you don't really hear about Estonia until decades later when you meet your future husband and assume he's fucking with you. Talking about this country you've never heard of before because your textbook stayed 80s based through college. Switzerland lowers the voting age from 20 to 18, but honestly, no taxation without representation. Lower that shit to 15America. NFL owners strip Phoenix of the 1993 Super bowl because Arizona doesn't recognize MLK Day. Oh, gosh, doesn't that give you a weird nostalgia for a time that wasn't even all that great, but at least knew how to do that much? And HEB founder Howard Edward Butt dies at 95, leaving a legacy of endless Butt jokes for Texans. But you can't care about all that because, well, I mean, actually, that's it. That's what has to happen in this new town. They have to care. They have to have something to rally around. Something that gives them a feeling, a meaning, a purpose. Like H e Butt. That man had to have had a hard life with a name like that. Howard the Butt. Literally his name. Under his leadership, his company evolved into a Texas institution with over 435 grocery stores across Texas and Mexico in annual revenues exceeding 40 billion. But don't ask Super. He did this all by himself. In fact, his mom, Florence Thornton Butt, yes, Floaty Butt, started their first store in 1905 with $50, while her husband Battled tuberculosis, or as they call it in their house, tuberculosis. Floaty Butt had a dream of being more than a family. At the Butt end of asinine jokes, she didn't even have the right to vote. But with grit and determination, she made her way from the bottom of the food chain and laid the foundation for what would become one of the most successful grocery chains in the country. Howard took over the business in 1919 and survived the party pooper known as the Great Depression by focusing on affordability, efficiency, and customer loyalty. In 1961, John F. Kennedy made a crapshoot by appointing Mr. Butt to the President's Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity. Mr. Butt also helped establish the University of Corpus Christi and was a lay minister in the Southern Baptist Church. That's right. This Butt loved Jesus and locally sourced products. This Butt was saved. He would know how to fix this depressing town. So it's time to think like a Butt. Find your way out of this shithole city. But first, let's get amped with a brand new issue of your favorite magazine. It's a special prom issue. Well, let's dance our butts off like nobody's watching. Cause nobody is. Ah, shit. I wonder what they call prom. Yes, it's time to listen to Sassy.

You know, I feel like at some point we were always gonna be circling how do we get a tribute to be into this podcast? And this is gorgeous. As soon as I saw that in the Times, I was so happy to have it to call out because God bless the Butts. Truly, what a great store they've made. We're going like as soon as we hit stop on this recorder, we're going to get groceries tonight.
- [04:08]

- [04:44]
Pop Culture Analyst
What? Oh my God. If we won a year of free groceries from H e B. You do not understand how much I would abuse it. God bless AGB. It's March 1991. It is of course, the prom issue. We're not going to get to that whole thing until our fashion etc. Although it does have a complete like rip out. I don't know if you have this physical issue, Pam. The all of the prom stuff is. It's its own supplement.
- [05:13]
Historical Commentator
I do have the physical issue, Noice.
- [05:15]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah.
- [05:16]
Historical Commentator

- [05:21]
Pop Culture Analyst
If you are not in the Patreon, get in the Patreon because that's the only way you're gonna see all of those pages ahead of time and get all of the prom y goodness. But for now our spine line is I'm not gonna attempt this any. Pam.

- [05:40]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yes. Yeah, why not? Blue Shadow is the translation and now that that levity is out of the way, strap it for a bummer feature.
- [05:51]
Historical Commentator
A real bummer feature. Yeah.
- [06:01]
Pop Culture Analyst
We'Re back to bummer features leading off the island. And this one is just tells you exactly what you're gonna get.
- [06:08]
Humorist
Wait, hang on one sec. Before we get into the bummerness of it all.
- [06:11]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yes.
- [06:11]
Humorist
I just want to say if somebody is out there that knows a way around like a keyboard or you know, is like a tiktoker or something like that and can do us a light hearted get ready for the bummer feature theme song. I like I will make it worth your while like merchandise or something like let me know what I can provide you for your time. But I feel like we need that because it's happening all the time now. I don't remember this happening at the start of the magazine, but they're definitely into Here it comes. Sadness ahoy.
- [06:40]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yes.
- [06:41]
Humorist
So if that sounds like you, let's get in touch.
- [06:45]
Historical Commentator
I was trying to put it in the diarist like just being like, ah, let's oh no, oh no, like celebrate like it's prom. What's the worst that can happen? Ah, crap. Our fat. Our first feature. Yes.
- [06:58]
Pop Culture Analyst
So our first feature is by Kim and it is called the Rape and that's what it's about. It's about a rape at the University of Rhode island in South Kingston. And it basically is the story of a girl who is unnamed who goes to a frat party and gets raped and reports it and does not get justice. And story continued after this piece was published. You know, I don't want to get into all the nitty gritty. If you have the scan, you can read it. It's the usual terrible story unfortunately that we've all seen a thousand times. The one thing that was surprising was they report that there was a candlelight vigil and that the president of the university told the crowd, we want to say together and to anyone listening, this is not our way of life. This is just not tolerable. And now I feel like they would just be surrounded by lawyers and not admitting any kind of culpability about it at all. Like, it just. This is continues to happen into our day. It basically, unfortunately ends with Kim victim blaming. Like, saying, this happens all the time, which is true. And so learn from the mistakes of the girls who have been assaulted and don't get yourself in the position that they did. By. I mean, her assumption is girls go to these parties and drink too much, which maybe that happens sometimes, too, but a lot of times drinks get dosed and you don't know and you think you're being safe and you're not because there are forces at these parties wish you ill. So it seems. Trying to be careful so we don't get sued. Anyway, Dave Lalamond was the accused. After the charges were dropped, he sued the school over what he thought was the mishandling of his case. He lost. His suit, names the accuser. We won't. But it does broadly hint that the actual rapist was this Mike Lindell, who's mentioned in the story as having killed himself the day of the court hearing. And Dave Lalamond is on LinkedIn, apparently doing fine. That all of this sucks. Like, it just never gets better. And that's the world we live in. Patriarchy is terrible. Moving on.
- [09:06]
Historical Commentator
Yeah, let's move on. I have nothing on this one. Hello, I'm your substitute teacher. Written by Jessica. Before I came to the hallowed halls of sassy, I spent a year as a high school English teacher. So when the idea came up for me to go out to sub for a day, I said I'd rather eat nails. For unlike regular teaching, subbing means going into a totally new and unknown situation and taking complete control. I was outnumbered by editors. Here's the play by play. So this is the story of Jessica deciding. Sure, sure, I'll sub. I'll sub. A class I've never met before and you know it's about. I just have to know. I just had to talk about the Grapes of Wrath and Romeo and Juliet. What could go wrong? Jessica did not make this easy for herself, is what I'm gonna say in this article where she's like, should I be. Should I look cool or should I look like a teacher? And Then she kind of decides to look like. Well, I think she probably looked like what I look like when I went as a teacher for Halloween in the. In the fifth grade and people didn't know what I was, and they asked if I was just taking my sister around trick or treating. And I was holding a clipboard and I had an apple and I was very sad cause they weren't giving me the right candy and I had to go home and cry. And mom changed me into a bug. She stuffed socks with things and pinned them all over me. And Drew put googly. Remember, like dealy boppers. Put dealy boppers on my head and put dots all over my face. And she was like, you're a bug. And I cried and trick or treated.
- [10:38]
Pop Culture Analyst
Aw, that's very resourceful. That's impressive.
- [10:41]
Historical Commentator
Yeah, my mom was very good at these kinds of things. She's crafty. She's crafty. She's good with her hands. So Jessica decides to not wear a bolero in a cool outfit, but instead go get dressing. She went like. I mean, it looks like she is a villain in this picture. I would have found her sus. As well.
- [11:00]
Pop Culture Analyst
Well, she's just. I mean, she's in like a plain blazer, a mock turtleneck. I mean, she. I don't think she looks like a villain. She's just like. Looks sort of like a modern day Mary Poppins, really, with like flat oxford shoes. But yes, it's. It's more troublesome when she's like. And then I go to the cafeteria and a couple of senior boys think I'm a student and they're cute. Like, stop, stop, stop.
- [11:23]
Historical Commentator
Yeah. She was like, they're cute. I. I still got it. Boom. Still got it here in high school. Jessica, cut it out.
- [11:29]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah. No, no, honey, no. But yes. I mean, this seems like a very average day where the students didn't respect her because no one ever respects a sub and. Or cares to do well, because this is like a. A snow day, essentially, for the students, I would think. But even so, knowing no one was going to be paying attention to me, I think I would sooner jump out of a plane to substitute teaching in high school. Sounds like hell to me. I. I do not have the strength of. Of character to do anything like this.
- [12:00]
Historical Commentator
They told her she looked like Ben Siever, the littlest son on Growing Pains. And she was like, I kind of do. Yes.
- [12:11]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah. Also, though, for like, for private school kids, I was surprised they were, you know, they were that mouthy. Expected them to be more cowed I.
- [12:19]
Historical Commentator
Have a. I have a story for you from the trenches, which is. So I've been spending a lot of time with high school students lately for a thing that I'm doing. And I was spending time with one group right before my birthday and I had said to them, like, it's my birthday on Friday. It's kind of a big one. We were at a cc's Pizza. I just want to put you in, like high school. We were in a full on high school situation. And these young women were like, oh, that's great. Are you turning 40? And I was like, aw, thanks, man. You're my favorite of all these girls. And then she goes, why is it 41 or 2 or something? And the other girl goes, you're not like 37? And I was like, no. And they're like, are you turning 35? And I said, no, no. And then one of them, with the scared, most scared expression, she goes, are you in your 20s? Like, speaking of, it happened to me, she was like, like, could you be 27? And I was like, no, I'm not. It's okay. It's okay, you guys. This won't happen to you in your 20s.
- [13:21]
Pop Culture Analyst
Promise.
- [13:23]
Historical Commentator

- [13:27]
Pop Culture Analyst
Happy birthday.
- [13:28]
Historical Commentator
Some change. Thank you.
- [13:29]
Pop Culture Analyst
Happy belated.
- [13:30]
Historical Commentator
I couldn't understand the number that came out of my mouth. And I didn't want to tell them because I felt like it was going to change things. They're like, but we talk about Pedro Pascal together.
- [13:43]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah. This is the six months of the year when Pam and I are the same age. And I also had an experience recently when I was volunteering where because it's a masked, you're supposed to be masked the whole time. So no one has ever seen my entire face. They have seen my neck, though, so I feel like they shouldn't have been that shocked when someone asked how old I was. And I said. And then they were like. They were also very surprised. And I was pleased. It was a nice compliment.
- [14:06]
Historical Commentator
Yeah. My kid said, I can't tell how old you are except in the morning. She said, I don't think that's your fault.
- [14:17]
Pop Culture Analyst
Well, keep having an allowance then, I guess. Yes. Christina brings us a list. 20 men you can't beat with a stick. Here are some men we cannot help but admire. Incorrect. Here are some men we cannot help admiring. For one reason or another. We do not claim that any of them are perfect. Is perfect who is? But the cool qualities greatly outweigh the lame by Christina. And some of These are great. No one's gonna look at this list and disagree with Martin Luther King Jr. Or Peter Garrett, the lead singer of Midnight Oil. Or Paul Newman, probably. I don't know, he probably did something bad at some point. But, you know, if you have to fill out your list with Holden Caulfield, who is not a real person and also not the perfect boy, as she says, like, kind of throws the rest of the list into some doubt. Also John Lennon, not a great person. And that was known at the time too. Like, this is. This was not breaking news that he was a domestic abuser and cheated on his wife and did a lot of shady stuff.
- [15:28]
Historical Commentator
I mean, Gandhi's on here. I believe people similarly have stories. And yeah, you said Peter Garrett. And every time I assume that's the guy from Everybody Loves Raymond. And I just don't think of him as anything other than the bald guy from Midnight Oil. And I wrote in here like, he's the strongest man in rock music. Because I would have quit the business at the one millionth bald joke for sure. I just, I. I can't just. Too many jokes. The. Even the. The Energizer guy, Remember? The Australian, the other guy. Jocko.
- [16:02]
Pop Culture Analyst
Jocko, right.
- [16:03]
Historical Commentator
So then I was like, is that the Midnight Oil guy? Cause who could tell? Who could tell? I did it for you, Dave. I don't know where it's been all this time. What it. What are you doing?
- [16:16]
Pop Culture Analyst
It's the implication here. Anyway, one of the. They also named Jimmy Carter. They say he caught Flack with. No, he didn't. He caught it with a K. But yes, no one's mad at Jimmy Carter now, may he rest in peace. But they. This is the first mention we get of Dirt magazine coming this September because one of the guys on the list is Mark Lumen, known professionally as Lou. He's 23. He's the editor of Go A Boys Biking magazine. He's also the co founder of a T shirt company called Club Homeboy. And he will be the editor of Dirt coming soon. So we'll have to figure out how to cover that because I have all the. Those issues as well.
- [16:57]
Humorist
If we had a Thunderdome of the people that are still on earth on this list.
- [17:01]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah.
- [17:01]
Humorist
How many people would that be? I love the fact that Leonardo da Vinci is one. Here, see if you can get this. Great catch. Leonardo da Vinci. Do you like gyrocopters? There's probably. Well, it's more than half, I'm going to guess are no longer on Earth.
- [17:18]
Pop Culture Analyst

- [17:43]
Pop Culture Analyst
Okay, so it's more than half.
- [17:44]
Humorist
Yeah.
- [17:44]
Pop Culture Analyst
Listen, the important thing is, who is not on this list? And that is, of course, Ian Spinonius. Because, you know, she tried, and they were like, you can't. Then she was like, fine, I'll just put hold of Garfield on it, see.
- [17:56]
Historical Commentator
How you like da Vinci. Yeah, that's how da Vinci got on there. For sure.
- [17:59]
Humorist
That's what the Da Vinci Code is. It spells out. I was just looking at the first letter of each paragraph to make sure this wasn't some secret code. But no, that's not.
- [18:20]
Train Enthusiast
Here they come, clickety clack down the track. It's lots and lots of trains all aboard.
- [18:26]
Historical Commentator
A really boring piece of fiction. My God, I liked it. Did you?
- [18:31]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yes.
- [18:31]
Historical Commentator
I was like, this is a note from a boy.
- [18:34]
Pop Culture Analyst
Oh, sorry. I'm surprised this is right in your wheelhouse, then.
- [18:38]
Humorist
Pam doesn't like competition.
- [18:40]
Historical Commentator
I do.
- [18:40]
Humorist
To send over some guys to bust his legs up.
- [18:44]
Historical Commentator
This is what Ian is writing in his journal as manuscript, where it was like, everything's just sort of like, I just read on the Road, and I'm into chicken.
- [18:53]
Pop Culture Analyst
Oh, it's not that bad.
- [18:54]
Historical Commentator
Ooh, I don't know. I don't know. We sat in the parking lot of the bagel place until the end of first period. She started talking about the Grateful Dead, the concerts at Madison Square Garden that were that weekend, starting on Saturday, Halloween night. I don't know. There was just a way that it was always so specific and just what he could see. Like, it was just labeling what was happening. There wasn't a lot of subtext. To me, it was just kind of a retelling of the train date. I don't know. But that's just me.
- [19:24]
Pop Culture Analyst
I liked it. The conceit of it is that they have an assignment where they're supposed to write a story where they had an epiphany. And there's an argument with a friend about, like, whether his idea is a good one or not. And then the end of the story is he has this epiphany about this girl he likes. Cause he's. They have an extra ticket. So he decides to go to the Dead show with her, even though he hates the Grateful Dead. Says Here I was asking to pay 1850 for a ticket up in the middle of nowhere to watch a bunch of microscopic organisms play the most boring in the world. I mean, truly, it's possible that's where they won me over, because it is the most boring music in the world. There's also a slam at a guy in law school, and then at the end, he's just like. And I. You spending this time with. With Bridget made me realize we don't actually have anything in common. And, you know, it's not fruitful to continue having a crush on her. And that's. I think that is an epiphany.
- [20:13]
Historical Commentator
Yeah.
- [20:15]
Pop Culture Analyst
Look, we don't have to agree. I tried to find this guy, but unfortunately his name is Sean Griffin, which is the most boring name in the world. And there are already two authors named Shan Griffin. And I don't know if he's either one of them. I can't tell. So.
- [20:28]
Humorist
Oh, Pam's. Pam's eye is twitching. Dogs, help. Help.
- [20:34]
Historical Commentator
It was frustrating because one could maybe be him, but not enough that you could drop it in the show notes.
- [20:42]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah, one is a historian about, like, wars, and the other one writes about hip hop. So it's like, really very far apart terms of subject matter.
- [20:50]
Humorist
What about the West Coast? East Coast? Hip hop wars?
- [20:53]
Pop Culture Analyst
Great point. Anyway, if you are or know Sean Griffin, reach out, tell him to call in one of us. Liked his story.
- [21:00]
Train Enthusiast
Here they come, clickety clack down the track. It's lots and lots of trains.
- [21:05]
Humorist
Doesn't that sound like something from Mr. Show? Yes, it's exactly the same cadence.
- [21:10]
Pop Culture Analyst
It's the same tone as when they're doing the video about the pool.
- [21:13]
Humorist
The pool trip Rap the musical contains no rap.
- [21:16]
Historical Commentator
Rapity, rap, rap, rap. A rap and a rap.

Pop Culture Analyst
Body talk. Let me hear your body talk. White bread equals bad news. White bread contains refined white flour, which means the wheat is stripped of many of its nutrients. It also lacks fiber, which makes you poop. So for nutritional value, what you want is bread that says whole wheat on the label. If it just says wheat, it's made of white flour. Here's a quick test to see if your bread cuts the mustard. Take a piece of it and squeeze it. If you can roll it into a ball without it crumbling, it's not made of whole wheat. If bread is 100% whole wheat, it will be far too dense and firm to do this with here. I'm not here to play with my food. I just want a sandwich that tastes good. I don't want one that Has a million fucking seeds. I'm not interested in Dave's killer bread. Just give me good bread that's yummy. I don't care. I'm eating two pieces a week. Give me a break.
- [22:20]
Humorist
No comment.
- [22:21]
Pop Culture Analyst
What?
- [22:22]
Humorist
Well, I don't eat enough bread to make my bread choices. A political point in our household, but I do not like white bread that much.
- [22:30]
Pop Culture Analyst
Okay. Nothing is stopping you getting your own bread.
- [22:32]
Humorist
Yeah, but what do you do? Like, you're gonna have like two slices every month to make a sandwich or something like that and just. You put it in the freezer?
- [22:38]
Pop Culture Analyst
Yeah, put it in the freezer.
- [22:39]
Humorist
Maybe I'll have something. And they're like, ah, but it's frozen. Oh, tomorrow. Yeah, I don't. It's just like. It just never clicks. I'm just saying. I'm just saying there's people here that don't, you know, that are like, yeah, maybe not white bread.
- [22:51]
Pop Culture Analyst
Okay, well, we can talk about this when we go to he butts today. You can get whatever bread you want. I don't want to oppress you.
- [22:57]
Humorist
I'm just saying whole wheat bread's pretty good. Just because that, you know. You're scared of wheat, but not scared of it.
- [23:04]
Pop Culture Analyst
I just don't prefer it.

Tanning salons are gross. Besides risking skin cancer and premature wrinkling, you could develop warts from beds that are not properly cleaned. Pam, comments?

I've never been on a tanning bed.

Good news, gals. The first ever over the counter medication for yeast infections has hit the shelves. I don't have anything to say about this because I've never had a yeast infection brag, but I was shocked that you that it took until now.

She does. It's just not coming out because of all the tampons it's all shoved in there.

Sometimes when she burnt bubbles a bit, she.

That's why they call it a mother. She's got so much yeast in there. Yeah, she's a yeasty girl.

She's like spider man. But she can shoot yeast out of her wrist now.

Sorry.

What's better, white bread yeast or whole wheat yeast?

Why are you making grossed out faces when I say I haven't had a yeast?

I just don't believe that you're 98% yeast.

The human body is 98% yeast and we all know it.

You never had. You've never been diagnosed with. I mean, here we would know. You're right, you'd know. You're right. You'd know. You'd know. There's no way. What could this be?

I'm impressed. I'm just saying I'm impressed. I'm impressed.
- [25:24]

Anyway, the only reason I bring it up was not to brag that I've never had a yeast impre. Impression infection. It's to marvel that it took until 1991 for OTC yeast infection cures to be available. So congratulations to everyone who needed that.

Believe women, that's how long it took. No, it's like a thing. I probably need some medicine. You just need to be pregnant again.

Historical Commentator
Yeah.
- [25:48]
Humorist
Have you tried whole wheat bread?
- [25:53]
Historical Commentator
You take your yeast and you squeeze it. You squeeze it and it stays a ball. That's how you know you have a white yeast infection. But if it crumbles, wait, what do you come out? You have a whole week.

Wait, wait, what are you squeezing?

Well, you'll never know, Tara. My kid's never going to listen to this podcast and I have to assume no one from her class will either. So I'm just going to say that here's what's different about the now and parenting now. Just while I've been out of town, I would get a text that was like, hey, I have discharge. It's this consistency and this. Because I think I'm getting my period any minute now. And I was like, yeah, that discharge is very normal and you are probably getting your first period very, very soon. You know, I asked like, is it smelly? Are you itching? Are you in any pain? Like, no. And then I was just like, can you imagine if, first of all, if I even tried that shit with my mom and said the word discharge, she'd be like, ew. And then she'd be like, I am at work. What are you doing? Are you locked out of the house again? Like, no, not. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I'm not calling my mom and immediately getting an answer of, you're just a very normal person who's going through a life change. I'm so excited for you. The fact she said she went to her teacher and was like, I have to go to the bathroom. And she was like, we're not doing that now. You can wait until class is over. And she was like, it's just I have discharge. And she said her teacher looked up and her eyebrows, like, popped all the way off the top of her head. Glasses came down, and she went, you can go anytime. You can just go. You can go. And I was like, I can't imagine anybody else coming up to your teacher and being like, yo, I got discharged. Can you let me go check. Check on it? Because she was like, I keep checking on it in class because I think my period's coming. And I had a tiny little dot, so that might be it. And I was like, in class, stop peeking down your pants. You will know.
- [27:36]

That's good advice across the board.
- [27:38]
Pop Culture Analyst
That's true.
- [27:39]
Historical Commentator
Just. Thank you. I'm. I do what I can as a mom, but I just can't believe how different it is to be able to text your mom. Like, I'll just ask my mom. She'll know if this discharge is the my period yet or not. Ah, I love her so much. She's gonna have a period party. That's why she can't wait.
- [27:57]

They also do, like, asking the boys in the class, like, holding up a tampon and going, what is this? And one of them said, is it a straw? That was his first guess. They were like, that's adorable. No.
- [29:05]
Humorist
Is it an unpainted model kit of the Bullet from Super Mario Brothers?
- [29:09]
Historical Commentator
Yeah, it was his second guess. His third guess was, is it something so that girls can pee standing up? Like a straw? Like a straw for your straw? Yeah, that you just hold it to yourself and it lets you just like, pee into the toilet.

A tiny, thin penis for your pleasure? Like, no. So you can pee standing up?

All right. At the risk of opening more food controversy, boy, sure, a banana has a lot of muscle loving potassium, but a baked potato has twice as much K. I mean, I. This. These are the food facts I love, where it's like, okay, can you take a baked potato in your hand when you're on the way to the bus? Like, different foods are appropriate for different settings and contexts.
- [30:29]

Whenever I think about a potato in that context, there's a scene, and I think it's Elizabeth. The first. The first of those where one of her, you know, piratical slash explorer dudes comes back from the new World's, like, look at this thing. What is it? It's a potato. She just, like, eats like an apple.

This is telling you the right way to do it so that you don't end up on Dr. Pimple Popper, I guess.
- [31:38]
Historical Commentator
But it doesn't tell you the first thing to ask yourself, which is, is this blister bigger than a quarter? If it isn't, do not pop it, cover it, and let it reabsorb, because you're just inviting infection and bacteria into anything that you open. It's actually. Your skin is doing its perfect little job making a blister, and it's making a dome.

I got places to go, walks to go on. I can't, like, wait five days for this thing to calm down.

This month's what he said, if someone gave you $1,000, what would you do with it? This month's celebrity is Pauly Shore. Who would ask, if someone gave you a thousand dollars, what would you do with it, bud? And MTV funnyman Pauly Shore had an almost unbelievable amount of trouble answering this question when he finally blurted out, I would take the girl of my dreams to the nicest candlelight dinner with veal chops and a tossed salad, those big, round cherry tomatoes. And then I'd take a bite of the salad, and a tomato would squirt in her eye. And then I'd say, sorry, I didn't mean to tweak you.

- [33:43]

That's why he told us. That's how come he was on stage. He was like, hey, this is my mom's place, so I can say whatever the fuck I want up here. Which meant he didn't have to tell any jokes. So he didn't. And it was awful.
- [33:58]

He used to go to the gym that I went to in la. I would see him there sometimes. Never as fun as when I would see Jack Black, who also went there.
- [34:06]

The nice thing about this photo of Pauly Shore is that if he gets stranded, if he's on, like, you know, he's going to Catalina island and SS Minnow Style, the boat goes, you know, adrift, and they end up on a desert island. He's already got a fishing net, so he's got that going for him.

I didn't know I had this much Pauly Shore rage inside of me, but I think I didn't like him during the MTV years either. Like, just give the. There are so many people who could have sat in that role.

Yeah, my sister's a snoop. My 12 year old sister keeps invading my privacy. The other day she broke into my locked box where I keep a lot of my personal things. She's also poked into my diary, my drawers, desk, etc. Talking with her will not help. What should I do? Sign sick of my stupid sister. They write, this sounds like a case for mom and dad. No, it is not. That's not going to make anything better. Your parents don't want to get involved with this. Then it says if they need to sit down with you and your sister and make it clear to her that your stuff is off limits, she needs to learn respect for privacy. But then it says, if you've already gone to your parents and they won't help, you could try talking with a counselor at school who can explain to them why this is such a big deal. And this made me truly laugh. Can you imagine?

Story feels kind of unfinished if you're trying to connect with her and you haven't. Just saying stuff you wrote. I've given up on James Dean and other folk heroes who dance with me in my dreams. I've laughed at my silly antics and outlandish gestures that only caused me embarrassment. I've stopped hoping for Prince Charming and all that hearts and flowers stuff when heartache is my only reward.

Stop making me clean my room. Door slam. Don't talk for 12 years. That's the energy I'm getting from this.

Your love language is belonging, said a friend of mine recently. She's right. From the time I was in college at UCLA and working at the lab school, I wanted to create spaces in which people felt a strong sense of belonging and connectedness. So she got over that overwhelming feeling of having to clean her room, and now she has taken it further with an intentional DEI lens, as there's no belonging without equity and inclusion. So I assume Tanya has recently been fired.

Did you know that the nightclub on the soap opera Another World is called Sassies? Asks Christina Sedoris of San Diego, California. I'm sure I knew that at the time because that was one of. That was like my family's soap. But, Pam, did you know that Another World was the first big job for Anne Heche?

Christina Sedoris is a Padres fan, according to an Instagram that I think I found of hers. And on Facebook, she's still writing stuff you wrote recently. And by that I mean 40 weeks ago. She wrote, I want to know who discovered which mushrooms were edible and which ones were not. Then she wrote, I can't find it now, but Someone wrote out a mushroom log. This one tastes like beef. This one killed Keith immediately. This one made me see God for a week. Julie Wilson of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has poem called Discrimination. Don't laugh at me because I'm not as strong as you. I can't help the way I am. It's all a part of me. I have no pride. You frighten me, frown and refuse to accept me. I'm not made of steel. My heart is soft and cold and longing for affection. You have friends and family that care for you. I don't have anyone. Don't laugh at me because I'm not as strong as you. It's all lowercase. It's so sad. So sad. It was really hard. I'm not on LinkedIn, but Julie Wilson lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She's an experienced sales manager with a demonstrated history of working in the hospitality business.

Sounds like you need to be on LinkedIn to get more doxing information. Yeah, why is that? Don't want people to contact you asking you for favors. Don't want to be part of the giving back to the community that lifted you up so often. Is that the deal here?

I'm not really sure what happened, but the first time I was going through these, it wouldn't let me look at any of them because I'm not on LinkedIn. I can't sign in. This time when I click it, it's like, fine, Pam, here's your info. So I don't get. Maybe you just have to do it three times.

So they're giving you access in order? Yeah, well, they want the. They want the, you know, the promotions, the mentions. They want their menchies to be blowing up.

And finally, Bethany Eldridge of Hopkinton, Massachusetts, wrote, Marge Simpson. I just thought Dave was going to take this one. Marge Simpson was Wilma Flintstone in a previous life. They both wear strapless dresses every day. They both have the same taste in jewelry, and they both have lazy, pathetic husbands. Thanks, Bethany. Bethany, these days, I think, lives in Missoula, Montana. And that's as far as I'm going because I'm not messing with those libertarians.

We'll be talking about the pop culture topics of the March 1991 issue. Seventies personalities, be careful. Seventies personalities show up. And what now? Paul Westerberg gets profiled. And because it's the third anniversary issue, all new labels for the star ratings, or rather dots in. Listen up and watch it all that and more.
