On every episode of NPR's Throughline, we take a story from the news and go back in time to where it started, where it really started.

To answer one important question, how did we get here? Find NPR's ThruLine on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine you ask two people the same exact set of seven questions. I'm Mini Driver. And this was the idea I set out to explore in my podcast, Mini Questions. This year, we bring a whole new group of guests to answer the same seven questions, including actress and star of a mega hit sitcom friends, Courtney Cox. You can't go around it. So you just go through it. This is a roadblock. It's going to catch you down the road. Go through it. This is a roadblock. It's gonna catch you down the road. Go through it.

So everything comes out of a dead end. And many, many more. Join me on season three of Mini Questions on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite podcasts.

Join us as we travel

thousands of miles on the beautiful and crazy island of Sicily as I trace my roots back through a mystery for the ages and untangle clues within my family's origin story, which is morphed like a game of telephone through the generations. Was our family matriarch killed in a land deal gone wrong? Or was it by the Sicilian mafia? A lover's quarrel? Or was she, as my father believed, a witch? Listen to The Sicilian Inheritance on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We also saw a man just crash a bike,

just driving a bike on the boardwalk today and just ate shit into a wall. This all happened on our hot girl walk. We're not kidding. No, no. Atlantic City, baby. Around every corner is another story. It was another fun adventure.

Yeah, dude was just going straight and then started not going straight. Right into a wall. I thought like somebody did. Aren't you glad he wasn't in a car? Yeah We never talked about this and I don't we can not talk about it remember when we saw a car accident In or in San Jose in San Jose we saw a legit car accident Yeah, we were pretty drunk coming back from the bar and this it was walking and yeah And we were driving left the car there. We also separate cars

We saw our accident no and this guy it was supposed It was like you veer right or you veer left And then there's a light pole like right in the middle and he just went straight into the light pole I can see you did not veer even a little bit. 30 miles an hour? He was fucking slow. He was zoom zooming and we saved his life He was zoom-zooming and we saved his life We what you guys we got him out of the car You guys did I was on the other side of the street and you guys I was having my ailments So I didn't want to run over right ailments is a vodka soda. Yeah, right

I was having my ailments you guys ran over to help him and I was right in front of the hotel and I go oh words Just pointing at the watch over to help him and I was right in front of the hotel and I go, Oh, so I was pointing at the watch. Yeah. You guys got this. And I don't want to get too detailed into it, but like the guy gets out, his ribs are clearly broken and he's on the ground. Yeah. How were they clearly broken? Cause they're poking out at all. Yeah. He couldn't really breathe. It was really scary. Don't worry about it. Clearly. Well, I got't really breathe. It was really scary. Don't worry about it. Clearly, he liked it. Yeah, well, I got a good night's sleep.

Now he gives a fuck. And so we're like calling 911. They're on their way. And Blake just, we're hammered. And Blake, in the most purest sense of human to human connection, Blake's a good person. Takes a knee, puts his hand on the dude's hand,

holds it. This dude thinks he's gonna die, and I think he might. On his knee, and Jen starts rubbing it. Yeah. And I'm like, there comes the boner. Blake starts, but Blake genuinely starts saying nice things to make him feel better, whatever. He's like, you're so handsome.

And he's like, it's great, you're gonna be okay, man. It's all good, it's all good, you're gonna be fine. We call 911, they're gonna be on their way here. And you're like, man, this dude, Blake's really connecting with this dude. And then he starts saying stuff like, it ain't even that bad, dude. He's like, it's not that bad.

It ain't even that bad. That is what he needed to hear, dude. I know, but he's like, the dude is like this, it's actually really bad. He's gurgling up blood, and Blake's like like, nah dude, that ain't even blood, dude. No, because the way it played out was like, fucking shit happened. It was like, oh my god, and we kind of walked over like, oh we gotta go see what's up. And it's like, oh this dude is fucked up.

But then like, it hit a switch where I'm like, this guy might fucking have like a heart attack. Like he can't breathe. He started, he did go into like convulsions and stuff. I think he was like starting to be like I'm he's making it worse for himself so I was like yo dude it's not that bad. Well why? Blake just started going like this a lot. You hit a light post that's it bitch. Yeah you're kind of being a bitch about the whole thing. Your car didn't explode, yeah bitch. That's. I'm gonna kick your ass Yeah, and then when the ambulance finally got there

Oh, this is amazing remember the fucking guys down there and the paramedic it was like looks up. He's like oh Shit, you're Blake and Ders And we're like dude, you're in really good hands. Yeah. And then we walked, we took off. And I'm sure that dude's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It has to be legit. So scary. Yeah. It was like so scary that we forgot to want to talk about it. Yeah. We have not talked about it. So you guys start talking about other crazy shit. So scary that the next morning, none of us even talked about it.

This is the first time hearing this story. And I just went to bed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got a good night's sleep. And then we went to wherever we were going the next day, and never talked about it again. Until six months later, in Atlantic City! Hey.

If this is what's happening above the boardwalk, what is the under... I imagine it's like the Foot Clan layer.

Hold up. And then he was like, you gotta keep moving. You gotta keep moving or you'll die what's crazy, and I'm going yeah You have to do it Adam doesn't realize he was visited by the ghost of the future Like you and he's he came back in time on a bogus journey to tell you you gotta keep moving If there's any advice I can give you as I wear my gold hat, don't you? Dude, and it all starts tonight with the jacket.

You forged these chains. So dumb, dude. You gotta keep moving. You gotta keep, and I'm like, you have to, you have to, dude. And then these guys that I worked with, that were also in the gym were like, are you okay?

Like, this guy's cornering you and I'm like, I'm fine, I'm fine. Well, that's because you were talking to yourself. Yeah. They're like, are you okay? I was just looking in the mirror, going, you have to keep moving. But you're talking to a ghost.

You have to keep moving. It's true. Are you okay? I do as you were like, and the guy had like a decent build, you know, pretty funny, cute dimple. Um. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, if he took a little bit better care of himself, he might be handsome. Yeah. But he doesn't, so we'll never know. Seemed like pretty grounded, like Midwest mentality. Also, a little bit Hollywood. Yeah.

Hello. Lot of gold chains, which come to think of it, kind of works. Yeah, it works for him. On his frame. On his frame. On his traps. Uh, dude, I saw another funny thing at the, not this gym, but I live in Newport Beach,

and that gym is like, just a bunch of fucking swole bros with broccoli hair. What does that mean? You know how the kids now, they all like, I have broccoli hair. No, you don't have broccoli hair. The kids now all comb their hair forward and it curls right here and they're always going like... Right. And why is that... broccoli? Because it looks like broccoli. It looks like the head of a broccoli.

Like if you were to lay broccoli this way. Yes, got it. When it's kind of like a poofy cloud. It's a poofy... yeah. Poofy broccoli... Cauliflower, yeah. Poofy broccoli... Cauliflower, yeah. Or cauliflower. Yeah. Or cabbage.

What are some other vegetables? Eggplant. No, not eggplant. Quake? Lifeguards? That was on the tip of my tongue. But there was... There was this guy that comes in with a straight up Labrador.

I was like, oh, Ders would hate this. And it's like on the little turf area where everybody's laying down and doing their little stretches. Not okay. And this dog lays down and just goes like... Yeah. And does like that dog move and just is laying there. And there's these two dudes that are like also in the same little section. And the guy was like,

Right, right. And I just imagined you just snapping at this man. Would you have said something in that moment? Cause he loves dogs, but hates people with dogs, which is a very funny. I don't mind dogs. I like dogs. Yeah, I know you do.

You know? You know, check my backyard. There's plenty of them buried. No, that would drive me crazy. If the dog got up and there was just hell of hair, Yeah, there was. I don't think I would talk to the guy. I think I would talk to the dog.

How dare you? My therapist about how I shoulda, woulda, coulda. I don't know if I would say anything. Like, cause what are you gonna say? I mean, yeah, don't let your dog do that, but he just did. He already did it. You know, so you kind of have to wait at the door for that opportunity to happen, but then you have Never Working Out, so like, what are you doing there?

Yeah. Oh, God. And another funny thing happened immediately after that, so that just happened. And then the baseball game was on TV. And you you know how they put is it for outs that they put like the K in the out that's a strikeouts a strikeout so it was like three K's just laid out and it was on mute right and so in the outfield they put a K for a strikeout and it's it's a bad it's it's they probably should change it I think they did some places. Yeah. Go ahead.

Hold on. It was 3Ks that just laid out, and it was on mute, and this woman looks up at the TV, and she goes, Oh my god. Right. And then she goes,

Disgusting! Goodbye. And then turns around and walks away, and no one knew what the fuck she was talking about. Right. Until we looked up at the screen, and we were like, Oh, and no one told her. So she, talking about right until we looked up at the screen and we were like oh and no one told her so I bet she was just driving home being like right these racist fucks have taken over our god damn

country. I'll never root for the Anaheim Angels again. Ay-ay-ay. And that's down in Orange County? Yeah. I guess it's changed. Yeah. Yup. Burn! Epic slam. Maybe we need to get some beers out here. I don't know. What do you guys think? What do you guys think? Maybe we need a couple cool, coolers, lights out here.

Isaac. Isaac Horner. Hey, everybody. I'm ready now. This is the way. Where's our boy Isaac? Isaac, like, forgot he has something to do? Oh, he's got a couple things to do.

He's got a couple things to do. Doesn't he? He's a bagel. Yeah, might be to show them, doesn't he? Pink nips. Those pink, pink nips. Bring them out, bring them out. Okay, there he is.

I don't like you guys telling me to show my tits. I do, I know, it fucking sucks, but guess what, guys? I have an even bigger surprise planned. Uh-oh. Because Isaac hates showing his nips. Oh, so I Got a piercer to come out here Okay, getting radical and we hired this gentleman. There's a lot of really cool piercings And Isaac I believe is going to get something pierce. He really doesn't want to get his nipple pierce

Uh-huh. Uh-huh, uh-huh. But I think he should. Uh-huh. But if we have to go ear, I feel like that's doable as well, but way less cool. Yeah. Yeah! Way less cool.

That was pretty good. Can we just let that rip one more time? Yeah, you got it. Yeah! Cisco. I like, that's a good drop. Dude, I feel like that, if you get a piercing, like if you have a really cool piercing,

and it's like a pink bedazzled piercing, that has to play every time you walk into a room. Yeah, dude. That has to play every time you walk into a room. And then you're just like, uh, do two everything bagels? Yeah, I'll take the uh, I don't want the hand wash, just the car wash deluxe is fine. Yeah, it just, um, it kind of burns when I pee Should we have him get his piercing you know Come on we need some support come on we need some support Let's do it! Atlantic City! When this is important makes a promise we stick to it. We deliver. We deliver. We said we would have a live pier scene. Yep, here he is! Okay, okay blazer

Sit down Okay Okay, everybody our period our piercing specialist JR JR. We found him under the boardwalk today Okay, yes for Jacob he looked up and we're like he's our guy that's our Isaac Okay. We asked for Jankum, he looked up and we're like, he's our guy. He can pierce Isaac. Okay, this is... This is good. This is interesting.

Hang on, hang on. Wait. Maybe we do a quick vote because I feel like we're dialing it right into ear piercing. Yeah, I don't like that. Maybe... No sir, I don't like it. Maybe we should vote... Let's go, let's start with...

Let's start with... Okay, hey, we understand. We understand. Nipple's a clear favorite. Nipple's a big favorite. Big favorite. Do we... Hey!

Do we go... Do we go belly button. Who's here for a belly button? Okay. Alright. Belly button. I'm hearing some boos. Not a lot of people...

Well, because you can't see the belly button all the time who is here for an ear okay okay all right you I mean this crowd might riot because he might not want to do anything but the ear That's a full-on Prince Albert. He'll do it behind the couch. Yeah Prince Albert now for those of you that don't know does anyone here have one? Yes besides I just heard like four dudes standing together. I'll go. Yes, Isaac Hey there I just heard like four dudes standing together all go, yes, Isaac. Durs, hey, they're. Durs, it's in. Under the boardwalk. It's in Atlantic City, that's where it goes down, bro.

Yeah, there's a full on Prince Albert specialist under the boardwalk. If you go to a journal and then a dude shows up next to you and you hear a tink, like when he, you're like, damn son. Well, also you're kind of like damn son because that's That's a pretty big cock But I also think my cousin hit the urinal

I think you know what it also might be is like just to the side they do it It's like a mating call sure where they're like it's like it's like how you need another for it You're looking for action. You're supposed to tap underneath the stall like that senator years few years back? Not that I know. No, no, no. By the way, what an obvious thing. I like how the news outlets had explained that. They're like, so in homosexual communities a tap under the stall and I'm like that's not covert at all. Well, I feel like I've got some toilet paper stuck on my foot before. Oh boy. And what happened next? I fucked up the music. And that's how Adam got cast in Pitch Perfect.

Whoa. His dick's perfect. Cats out of the bag. Okay. Alright, so let's get real here. I'm seeing a lot of hardware. We got a lot of hardware up here. We pre-chose a circular hoop that we have a pink dangly thing.

That can go in a belly button. That can go in a nipple. That could go, here's why I think we should do ear. Now shut the fuck up. Here's why I think we should. I'm gonna be a great father. Shut the fuck up! Gonna be. Adam, you've had your kid. You are a dad. We lost the baby.

So here's why I'm thinking we should go ear, because then we'll get to see it all night. Okay. We'll get to see it. If you guys go to the after party tonight where Blake is DJing, we'll get to enjoy the ear all night long and that's my pitch. Now is it okay to do the ear because I don't think he's gonna pierce his butthole shut. Like I want him to. Right. Like I want him to. Right. Now Isaac are you willing, now this is up to you, because I'm all about peer pressure and making you do things you don't want to do

and threatening to fire you. Adam's a former bully. I'm a former bully. He's in his real zone right now. Yeah. I'm harkening back to my bully. He's this close to pushing at, Isaac, down the stairs, I'm gonna have an aneurysm.

So you are saying no to a Prince Albert. OK, that's off the table. So hang on a second. What was that? Because I think it seemed like you said yes, he wants it. No. No, OK. No, you'd like it?

No, I don't want it. OK. So no, you don't want a life without a Prince Albert. No, I don't want a Prince Albert. And save that for the board. Okay. Save that for the board. I'm sorry.

I heard, yes, I'm a bitch. Anyway. Okay. Um, so now a nipple Isaac. That, that to me is a clean hoop. That's sick. Your wife can suck on it one fun night. Babies be sucking.

Babies be sucking. Babies be sucking. Yeah! Dude, imagine, I'll get a number two supersize of the sprite. Imagine pulling it up to your wife Wendy and getting a nipple pierce. Adam can do it. Oh And the table in a city Atlantic City The table I didn't see that one coming Here we go No, hang on Here we go Interesting Hang on. Oh my God! Here we go. Okay, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair, fair. Fair.

Interesting. Fair. Interesting. Fair enough. If I do it, my boys have to do it too. Whoa. Right? Oh!

Yeah. I did not see that coming. Yeah. So. You know what? I can give you one good reason why I can't. Oh, why?

Because like, I'm TSA PreCheck, and if you do that, you gotta like report back, it's a month, the backlog, can't, I can't. Well, I'm also TSA PreCheck, so. No, but like, you're like famous as fuck, and they'll be like, you're my guy, I'll get you to that. Moderately, the same amount of fame.

No, no. I would have to Google, like, the symptoms. The sip, the sip. The symptoms. You are so dumb. The symptoms? I'm like seeing like maybe my titty falls off, and I don't know. Right.

Well, like, black veinage starts happening. Give JR the mic. Yeah, I like to hold it like this. Has there ever been a really botched nipple piercing where somebody's titty fell off? I don't think so, but um. That's not a strong answer. That's not a strong answer, JR.

He's like, I don't think so, this is my first week doing it. Yeah. He was asking for some beers, he's like, can I drink a few of these beers? I'm like, well, you are, you might pierce Isaac's asshole shut right um so the nipple piercing that Blake's gonna do uh now how long do you have to keep like if will it ooze if you take it

out right right right right it doesn't ooze. That was really good. It might bleed a little bit. Okay, well I'm down to do it if Blake does it. Wow. Wow. I went from the three of us have to do it to now the two of us have to do it. Wow. Wow. Wow. Hey guys.

Let's do Isaac first and then build from there. Okay, okay. Wait a second. So Isaac's gonna do his ear and Adam really wants to pierce his nipple. I don't really want to pierce my nipple. It seems like you do. I seem... I'm willing to back back out of it very quickly. Let's do some, let's get to some action. Okay, what if Isaac does his, then he pierces his nipple and then we'll see if we wanna do it. Let's do the ear. All right, we're doing the ear. We're starting with the ear.

Let's start with the ear. Let's start with the ear. We're starting with the ear. We're the with here. Best friends. Hahaha. You can't fully understand the moment we're living in without knowing where we've been. On every episode of NPR's Throughline, we take a story from the news and go back in time

to where it started. Where it really started. To answer one important question, how did we get here? Find NPR's Throughlight on the iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, host of Womanica, a daily podcast that introduces you to the fascinating lives of women history has forgotten. This month, we're bringing you the stories of disappearing acts. There's the 17th century fraudster who convinced men she was a German princess. The 1950s folk singer who literally drove off into the sunset and was

never heard from again, the First Nations activist whose kidnapping and murder ignited decades of discourse about indigenous women's disappearances, and the young daughter of a Russian Tsar whose legendary escape led to even more intrigue and speculation. These stories make us consider what it means to disappear and why a woman might even want to make herself scarce. Listen to what Manika on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I never thought I'd take my three young kids to Sicily to solve a century-old mystery, but that's what I'm doing in my new podcast, The Sicilian Inheritance.

Join us as we travel thousands of miles on the beautiful and crazy island of Sicily, as I trace my roots back through a mystery for the ages and untangle clues within my family's origin story, which is morphed like a game of telephone through the generations. Was our family matriarch killed in a land deal gone wrong? Or was it by the Sicilian mafia? A lover's quarrel? Or was she, as my father believed, a witch? Listen to The Sicilian Inheritance on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's not gonna hurt. Producer Anna everybody, Producer Anna. We love her.

We love her. We love her. She's the best in the biz. Punk rock? Oh she's rolling. Isaac's already crying. Yeah. I like getting punk rock being radical.

Let's do it. Alright. What's the clip? Punk rock being radical. Let's do it. Let's do it. Alright. What's the clip? Punk rock being radical. Oh yeah, I got it right here. Are you sure, Isaac? Because these are some sweet pink nibs. I don't like you guys telling me to show my tits.

Wait, can we at least see the nipples? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, look at those nipples! Dude, those are perfectly pierceable nibs. And by the way, your chest needs something going on. Because that is a depressing field of grass. That needs some shiny, but let's do the ear first. That needs some shiny.

Here we go. Do we need sound effects? What? I mean, are we going to hear a crunch? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Wait a minute. It's been a while since I went to Claire's.

I'll do it if Blake does it. Why do I have to do it? You do it. Nipple. Blake, you do it and then I'll do it. Absolutely not. Well, because I'm not going to back out. I know if I do it, you will back out.

That's not true. I don't think so. That is true. I don't think so. That is absolutely. I think if you do it, he won't back out. No, that is not true. I think that's gonna sound good.

I mean, I, God, I wish he was. You know he'll back out. I wish he was on brand for me. It's just not on brand. Yeah, we know. And I'm trying to build that right now. Do we wanna give this dude a free nipple piercing? Well. Can we do that?

Is that street legal? I heard we could. Atlantic City. We could, but it's funnier if we do it. Well, I want to see somebody get the nipple to see how bad it hurts. It's going to just hurt like an ear. Why don't we, here's what could be fun.

We could bring three people up on stage. We can have the audience rate their nipples and pierce the winner. I've been trying to do this since the fifth grade. That's cool. Let me, I mean if we do, if we do a version of this. Okay so then we're not getting our nipple pierced. Well if I see it and then like they do it and they're like that was fucking awesome I'm gonna be like I'll do it. Well now they're gonna do that. Well now they're gonna do

that. We'll see. Okay well I guess we're not piercing our nipples and that's on Blake and that's on Blake. What the hell? He's good. Yeah. He's good. And that's on Blake. He's good. Can we get it? We need a nipple pierced tonight. Well we do need a nipple pierced. Well do we have three people that want full penetration? And you know what? I'm sorry to say I think this is a guys only situation. Yeah. Which is bullshit. Yeah, that is bullshit. Sorry. And I don't make the laws of the rules.

I mean, I mean, there is a world where you might have fingered my asshole and I forgot.

Ders, what would you ask him? Yeah, would you ask him? I'd be like, because I just remember not understanding, who's the blonde feathered hair dude who lived in the gatehouse? Kato. Kato? As a kid, I didn't understand how Kato Kaelin

came into the conversation. Then I got older and I'm like, wait, you can just live in super rich people's pool houses? That's fucking sick. And that's, dude, that's something that we did not take enough advantage of. Like, Kato is a G. Yeah, but I mean, I guess, were we not take enough advantage of. Like Kato is a G. Yeah.

But I mean, I guess, like, were we not sexy enough to get invited into a pool? I don't know. But what I'm saying is, like, can you imagine living in, like, LeBron James' pool house? I can. And I do. I don't think he has a need for us.

I think if anything, like- OJ didn't have a need either. He was just like, you've seen pool. I think if anything, like, Kevin Spacey's gonna invite you to live in his pool house. Okay. And Kevin Spacey, gonna invite you to live in his And he's in Kevin spacey much like Chris is like Al Pierce anything Here's what she's so Michelle this is a very apropos dude my vocabulary today fucking red yeah, you're doing really good

Yes, very much so. Yeah, that's an okay question to ask. Yeah, he's 112 years old. And he's 112 years old. And he's just made of THC at this point.

I remember I smoked with Action Bronson at Coachella. And it was the first time I ever did dabs and I was like, this is not good. It was when World Star Hip Hop was really big and they're like, oh, World Star is filming and I'm like, I'm gonna to get beat up. Yeah, right. I smoked. I went to what I think I told us on the podcast, but I went to Woody Harrelson's house once in Hawaii. Yeah.

And I got so high with Woody. And then Colin Farrell was also there. And then we jumped off waterfalls. And I saw Woody Harrelson's dick. Because he was like, I can do a backflip in these shorts You mind if I go short list and me and Chloe and my wife are like hang on Kevin Spacey's calling. Yeah, come on over.

I'm not saying unflattering. I'm just saying... Yeah that kid's hot as fuck, dude. What are you trying to say? I just want to know his vibe, because he gives off no vibe, which is like cool. Vibeless, yeah. So I kind of want to get past the veneer and be like,
