Tom Griswold
us in the studio. Comedian Mike Kaplan is here. You spell your name Mike? M, Y, Q. Weirdo.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Yeah. That's strange.
Tom Griswold
Is that an actual. On your birth certificate, or is that a. Like a. A rebellious.
Mike Kaplan
I'm glad you asked. So my birth certificate says Michael. It's no secret. That's my legal name. I'm an outlaw.
Tom Griswold
It also says Kenya
Mike Kaplan
on the long form.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
It's.
Mike Kaplan
Can you believe it? So when I was about 14, Prince changed his name to a symbol for reasons that we were not privy to because of the. Probably the contractual oblig that he was under to his record label, but at the time, to this impressionable youth. I just saw a cool artist doing a weird, fun thing, and I'm like, I'm not gonna go that far. So compared to what Prince did, I'm a pretty normal guy. You can still use a regular keyboard. You don't even need to get a new hieroglyphic stamp, you know? And so I was like, I'll be. I was at an artsy summer camp with some friends. I originally was like, I'm just gonna go M, Y, K. I keep the K. And a friend was like, why not go full, you know, bananas, you know, go put a Q in there. I. I, like, I still got the M for my. My monogrammed things. Obviously, I don't. I always wonder when you. If your name's Robert, but you go by Bob, like, that's my father's name. I'm like, does he get an R? Does he get a B? I'm like, it's M all the way, but the rest of it, you can't see it coming. Yeah. Then I found out a few years later, Prince had a reason for doing it for, you know, record label dispute reasons. And he changed back to Prince. And I was like, well, I'm out here alone now. You know, I'm.
Tom Griswold
Can you imagine being his manager? You're gonna. You're gonna do what? You're gonna. You're gonna change your name to a symbol that isn't even on a keyboard.
Mike Kaplan
Unpronounceable. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
The artist formerly known as Prince, what is his real name? His name. Real name is Prince Nelson. Nelson. Rogers Nelson or something. Gotcha. Now, you mentioned initials.
Mike Kaplan
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Why? Christy, I'll ask you this. No. Do you have initials on your towels?
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
I do not. My husband has them on his cuffs of his shirts.
Tom Griswold
Does he have his. Is the. Is his last initial the one in the middle?
Mike Kaplan
Yes.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
And then it's a And an R on the other side of it. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What. What's that tradition all about?
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
I don't know why you have the last name.
Tom Griswold
So if so, JFK would be J small and a small F on the other side of the K. JKF.
Mike Kaplan
I'm on your side 100%. You know, it's like this as well. Do you ever look at a movie poster where it's like. Let's say it's like, you know, Keanu Reeves and Morgan Freeman, but their names are above the other. So if you don't know who they are, you're like, ah, look. Look at that. Like, you know, distinguished, elder black man, Keanu Reeves, you know, it's the cross.
Tom Griswold
Mistake. It's the cross. It's the Crosby, Stills, and Nash album cover.
Mike Kaplan
Yeah, that.
Tom Griswold
Most famous.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
They're not in order.
Tom Griswold
They're not in order.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Okay.
Mike Kaplan
What order are they in? Is it Crosby, Nash and Stills or Nash, Stills and Crosby, Nash, Crosby and Stills. There's only six possibilities. Which one is it?
Tom Griswold
Well, the anal retentive hour is ending. As your host, I want to be stormed out. I must go. I. I take. I take full responsibility.
Mike Kaplan
I have what you might call odc. The D is big in the middle, you know. Oh, and the C around it.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That's our guest, Mike Kaplan. We're gonna go back to the news desk with Christy Lee. What have we missed?
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Do you have monogram towels? Do you have those?
Tom Griswold
Tom just got married. Oh, yeah. You know something? I. I think I have towels that just say Arnold.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
That's cool.
Mike Kaplan
Yeah, I love that. You don't. I. I also have things in my home that if you ask me about them, I don't know, like the things that I own. My girlfriend's like. I know more about that than. Than you do.
Tom Griswold
So at least the towels we have are absorbent. There was a time, going back many years I can remember, in one of the bathrooms, there was a towel you weren't allowed to use if you washed your hands.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
What?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. What's the point of that status? It had all the absorbency of aluminum foil.
Mike Kaplan
Can I tell you, when I was a kid, I read a Mickey Mouse comic book, and there was a scene where Mickey goes to Minnie's house and he goes to sit down in a chair and. And she says, no, no, you mustn't sit in that chair. It's an antique. It's very old and delicate, and you. So you mustn't sit in it. And then she's like, and here's an Antique mirror. It's like, I know it's very rare and I mustn't look into it, you know, So I feel like that's what the towel is all about.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
There you go. A Domino's delivery driver in Missouri, as the police say, turned a routine pizza delivery into a violent encounter.
Mike Kaplan
Oh, boy.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
The driver allegedly using his car to strike a customer during a heated dispute over not receiving a sip.
Mike Kaplan
Oh.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Mr. Zachary Walton, 36, was arrested in Fulton.
Tom Griswold
You ran a guy over.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Facing multiple felony charges, including first degree assault, armed criminal action, and leaving the scene of an accident.
Tom Griswold
I wish I were the judge. I would do a Domino's themed sentence. Well, you'll be delivering pizzas in 30 years or less. Good luck to you. I'm on that guy's side.
Mike Kaplan
Here's a tip.
Tom Griswold
You run him over. Sure.
Mike Kaplan
I mean, people should tip. Yeah, I agree.
Tom Griswold
But you don't run the guy over. Bump. You don't want to punch him. You can get in trouble for that. So, Pat, you're saying it's okay just to ram him slightly? A little dent, a little break the femur?
Bob Kevoian
No.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Here you go, Tommy. Police in Altamont Springs, Florida, have arrested a woman she's accusing of vandalizing her neighbor's properties with her. That's right. Feces.
Bob Kevoian
Oh.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Residents of the Spring Oaks neighborhood told WKMG that they have discovered what appeared to be fecal matter on vehicles, mailboxes and in yards. Several residents reported finding the material near a shared food pantry in the neighborhood. Over the weekend, a detective witnessed a 50 year old woman defecating in the front yard of her home before taking her into custody.
Tom Griswold
What are you looking at? At her own. At her own place?
Mike Kaplan
Yeah. That you're allowed to do. Like, you're supposed to just do it on the porch and light it on fire and, like, what am I, you
Tom Griswold
know, Call me old fashioned, but, oh, man, that's rough. There's something going on mentally there.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, there's a picture of her. She looks more or less normal. It doesn't look like your classic yard dumper.
Mike Kaplan
This just goes to show, you can't judge a book.
Tom Griswold
Exactly. Oh, I think Tom might be able to sway your opinion on that one. Maybe she owns a car wash.
Bob Kevoian
I don't know.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
What?
Tom Griswold
She's throwing poop on people.
Mike Kaplan
She's trying to drum up business for her car wash. She's pooping like a fox.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
I see we have a story from Snopes this morning. A Florida man arrested after trying to baptize an alligator in A Waffle House has been debunked. Last month, you'll recall, maybe. Social media users began circulating a purported mug shot of a wild eyed man along with the claim that he tried using a pitcher of iced tea to perform the baptism on the reptile.
Tom Griswold
Very odd. By gosh, he is wild eyed. Yes.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
And is in desperate need of a hour. The post appeared to have been shared by Florida news outlet wfor, but fact checking site Snopes determined that the rumor originated as a satirical post from a comedic social media.
Tom Griswold
Yes, but who is snopesing? Snopes? We need to know exactly who Snopes is.
Mike Kaplan
The Snopesman.
Tom Griswold
Yesterday, my son Sam was telling me he was checking out us. Did you see the photograph or the video of the golden retriever being towed? It was amazing. The golden retriever is on like a sea doo. Yep. And he's being towed by a guy with a hovercraft. Kind of a. What would you describe the thing? It. Oh, it. It's one of those watercraft. Yeah. That come out of the. There's a hose in the back that makes it like a jet pack.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's like a jetpack. Yeah. The force of the water keeps it levitating. Yeah. It's like a jet pack shooting out water. And the guy's towing.
Bob Kevoian
Right.
Tom Griswold
So he immediately thought, this has to be fake. So we spent an hour finding out that it's in fact real. So if you Google golden retriever, jet ski, jetpack, the golden looked like for every bit like the golden was steering the watercraft. It was on the jet ski. It was.
Bob Kevoian
It was.
Tom Griswold
He's a golden retriever. He's a good boy.
Mike Kaplan
Yeah, he's a good dude.
Tom Griswold
He's a good doggy.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
How do you practice that?
Tom Griswold
I think the dogs just gets on there and he's going, this is cool. And if the dog falls in. I don't know. I can't remember if the dog had on a life jacket because they do make doggy life jackets. I don't think he did. Yeah, but yeah, check that out. It's out there floating.
Mike Kaplan
He's like the evil knievel of golden retrievers.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Golden retrieval.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
I don't know if he was wearing a sunscreen, but we do have sunscreen in the news, kind of.
Tom Griswold
Well, tell us all about it.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Thank you, Josh. Researchers say beer waste shows potential as a sunscreen. This is a weird story. A study analyzed the photoprotective qualities of hops waste from the brewing process. Spent hops incorporated into sunscreen. Cream formulations offered more sun protection than hops that hadn't gone through the brewing process.
Tom Griswold
Spent hops is what I call my knees. But scientists say there was a time,
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
you see, researchers needed to validate their findings. Now, why?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, who cares?
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Who cares?
Tom Griswold
Well, they're trying to find something to do with all of the upcycling.
Mike Kaplan
Sunscreen is very important. I started wearing it just actually about five years ago during. During the pandemic lockdown phase when I wasn't going outside at all. And just after my grandmother, who worked for a dermatologist, died. So all through my life, never wore sunscreen. But Renee, my wonderful partner, she's done a lot of research into it. She's. There's gonna be. This is all the truth. And also there'll be a quick joke. You know how, like, so she very. Has a skincare regimen, and, like, very. You know, so she's helped me know, like, after my shower, I do this and then put these things on. And so you know how, like, if you like the. The Grateful Dead, you might be called a deadhead. You know, you might. You like metal. You're a metal head. And so she's really into skincare, so we don't know what to call her. But, yeah, sunscreen. I wear it. I wear it every day now, even. Even when inside. Even.
Tom Griswold
Cause when sunscreen, they say I should do that, but I.
Mike Kaplan
Through the windows.
Tom Griswold
I can't stand it. Through the walls. No, I don't like the greasy on your face.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Yeah, well, there are. Holy. There are a lot of things.
Mike Kaplan
There's some that aren't greasy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, absolutely. Oh, but they're making it out of beer. Yeah.
Mike Kaplan
Then you.
Tom Griswold
So you're. Wait a minute. I figured this out. Your IPA has an ABV and a good spf.
Mike Kaplan
Yes.
Tom Griswold
We live in a world of letters. Thank you very much. Well, and that. That leads us to Mike Kaplan's. Perfect.
Mike Kaplan
I feel so welcome.
Tom Griswold
Now, you can do. Now you. You have a new piece you're working on, and each piece is centered around a letter of the Alphabet in order. I give you the option. You can do an ipa, an abv, or an SPF letter. Feel free. Which one would you like to do?
Mike Kaplan
Oh, absolutely. I is for incel. Now, as you may know, INCEL is short for involuntarily sell a bit. And I just feel like if you're an incel, you can say the whole thing out, because what are you doing with your time?
Tom Griswold
You know what I mean?
Mike Kaplan
You've got plenty available, and I Was doing this joke in New Jersey a few weeks ago, and a guy said, what is that? And I was like, oh, incel is short for involuntarily celibate. And he said, no, what is celibate? I was like, oh, you know. And he's like. Then, as if to explain it, he says, I'm an electrician. I was like, I feel like you're still allowed to know what words mean if you're an electrician. And I was. So I explained it in terms that he could understand. I'm like, it's when sparks don't fly.
Tom Griswold
Very nice. Thank you very much. Sold that bit.
Mike Kaplan
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
I enjoyed that very much.
Mike Kaplan
I really appreciate my favorite show.
Tom Griswold
Mike Kaplan is our guest. And once again, Mike, you're special. You've got a few of them actually out there. The one that I mentioned earlier is on YouTube called Rainy, and the other
Mike Kaplan

Tom Griswold

Mike Kaplan
Yes, hang on a second.
Tom Griswold
Thanks, Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a calendar question.
Mike Kaplan

Mike Kaplan
I could tell you exactly the timeline.
Tom Griswold
Okay, please do.
Mike Kaplan
Go ahead. Yes, I filmed it in September, early September of 2021.
Tom Griswold
And then when did it air?
Mike Kaplan
I believe it came out exclusively on the dry bar platform. Not yet on YouTube. Only available for dry bar, you know, plus customers and such. That was in mid 2023.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. Then Pat's on track.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It was over a year ago I filmed it.
Mike Kaplan
Oh, yes. It was absolutely, like about a year and a half for me. And then it didn't come out on YouTube until November of 2025.
Tom Griswold
All right, so they know what they're doing. They've got a whole release schedule.
Mike Kaplan
Whether or not they know what they're doing, they're doing the same thing to everybody.
Tom Griswold
Pat, by the time it comes out, you're going to weigh 100 pounds less than you did. Yeah, I was bigger in that. Yeah. I mean, I'm not trying to be mean, but you've lost a significant. I'm trying to be mean. There's very little effort. I'd hate to hear you trying to be mean.
Mike Kaplan
In fact, the only thing that was mean about that was you saying, I'm not trying to be mean.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you try to be. Are you a. An XL or a double xl? Maybe the nice way would be what Size would you like? Yeah, yeah. Instead of. You can even say what size would you like?
Mike Kaplan
How large is your shame? Yeah.
Tom Griswold
How gross are you? He said there's this.
Bob Kevoian
What do you weigh?
Tom Griswold
About four bills.
Christopher (possibly Christopher Geisen or a guest named Christopher)
If he says, I wear a medium, I will.
Tom Griswold
No, no, he's. He's not a weightlifter. By the way, when are the gym guys gonna cut it out? We know you're jacked. Don't wear a medium when you're a triple xl. Oh, I say, you did all that work. Show it off. Oh, no. I saw a guy bursting out of his shirt. He works hard for that. People know anyway what size shirt he wears. He looked ridiculous, but so anyway, my friend said it's I'm a double xl, but he looked at me. He goes, I'm a fatty. Fat, fat, fat. Just. Is he quoting you, Josh? Yes. Yeah, but he was. He's a very nice guy, very helpful. Can you believe he was nice and fat?
Mike Kaplan
I mean, that's actually why he's so nice. You're supposed to be jolly is the rule.
