Favorite Penn Radio Memories
Hey everybody!
I've been thinking about all the great things that happened on Penn Radio.
----------
Penn's son being born.
Penn telling people to go to McDonald's and purchase all the Filet-O-Fish sandwiches during lent, forcing Catholic families with screaming children to eat beef.
Penn interviewing Norman Borlaug.
Penn hanging up on a caller named Bill, who was attempting to abide by the topic of "mandatory false dichotomies" by stating that "Monkeys are just not funny, man."
While Goudeau was on a ski vacation, Penn revealing on air the password to their Gmail account (dawkins) and followed this with "Goudeau uses that password for everything."
Penn telling the "Blow-Dryer Story". This involved Penn burning his Little Houdini throughout on a blow dryer element during an attempt to win back an ex-girlfriend.
Goudeau treating a deep cut to Penn's thumb (caused while Penn was juggling broken bottles on-stage), with a Krazy Glue pen.
Chinese Penn-brand "Viagra" discovered by a caller.
What was your favorite moment in Penn Radio history?

I love that PennRadio gave me a chance to speak with Richard Dawkins, albeit briefly. WAY cool!

It was through Penn Radio that I heard my first interview with Richard Dawkins when Dawkins was promoting No God. Heard about Hitchens because of Penn. These things changed my life. Parenting as an "out" atheist & listening to parenting stories were great. Also heard about TAM and attended TAM 8 - of course the one TAM P&T missed.

When the line "Pull of the veasel" was born and the silence of giggles was followed by a roar of laughter.
Favorite episode Jackie "the jokeman" Martling two comedians talking about the history of jokes, ah the beauty of it.

The episode in which Penn read a listener's monkey story about going to a drive-through animal safari when they were a child, and how they were tossing certs or something out the back window to the monkeys...only to cause a monkey stampede...one of which grabbed one of the kids by the hair through the open window. I still have this story on my iPod and listen to it anytime I need a good laugh.

One of the earlier Lawrence O Donnell episode with Penn and L.O.D. discussing legalization of drugs. At one point L.O.D. said something along the lines of "I think I've changed my own mind"
That and the very early episode about blood and bone marrow donation. I've been on the registry ever since.

The interview with Patrick Moore. Changed my opinion about nuclear power and Greenpeace in general in less than one hour.

The moon landing debates were awesome. But every time I hear a Rolling Stones song I think about Penn's Jagger/Don Knotts comparison.

I'm Fat

OK, so I watched some more P&T episodes and found one about how the so-called, "obesity epidemic" is bullshit. Of course, the obesity epidemic is bullshit. Pretty much everything one sees in the media is a load of dog shit. Nothing new there. I can't really deny however that something's going on out there. I mean, after all, there are tons of super-fat motherfuckers walking around and scooting around on those little electric carts everywhere one looks.
Nonetheless, I had…
Continue Dolphins Are Funny Things

I just finished watching P&T's "Bullshit" episode on dolphins. It inspired me to share my personal experience with them, which I had back in the Amazon River Basin in 1996.
No, I didn't travel to the Amazon in 1996 to swim with the world's only freshwater pink and gray dolphins who inhabit the waters there, but to... well... to... ummmm... uh... OK! So, I don't even know what the fuck I went to the Amazon for in the first place! It's just that I've always loved adventures (and…
