🎵 Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hello, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is Wonderful. I'm comfortably seated in a chair like a big adult boy. Yeah, hey! We're moving on up. Moving on up. Did we both get there at the same time? Because it seems like it.

God, that's so good. I love us. I chose to sing it, so it took me a little longer to get it out. And you did it in I would say a baritone register that really worked on you, I thought. I like to do a low voice because I cannot do a high voice yeah

um yes yesterday not yesterday last episode i was seated on the floor and it did bring i would say a curious energy to the proceedings i felt like i was in college yeah right like we're hanging out there's a lot of lamb and stoner steve and we're just passing the hookah around uh and uh you know just scatting about um whatever it was that i talked about last week gun to my head couldn't tell you but now i'm in a chair yeah you're like a business guy look at me in my business shorts yeah i'm wearing my business shorts and my business hinterlands bar t-shirt that i would wear to any bank or business facility. Can I say something about you?

Okay. Griffin won't leave the house in like a pajama short. I don't think that that's so weird. See, I feel like, I don't know. I personally don't care. For me, I guess it comes down to... Like if you were an athletic man, it would not be unusual for you to leave the house in what could be a pajama short.

Yeah, but there's a difference. If I see somebody in athletic wear and they're doing a jog, that's one thing. you know, doing a jog. Oh, okay. That's one thing. But if they are at a children's museum with their five-year-old, that feels less great to me. So you feel like it's possible

that somebody would lean over to their friend and be like, see that man? He's not jogging. There's also something about, and I can't define this exactly, so please don't ask me to, but it feels a little bit more acceptable to be out in public with a more rigid fabric covering your genitalia okay okay i mean i can't argue with

that do you want me to okay cool i thought i thought you could get on you seem like the kind of person who could get on board with that i mean you know your body your choice i'm not gonna get in there yeah you're not just kidding this is a family show um it's a show we talk about things we like things that are good things we're into and uh i mean things are really coming together in this office it's almost identical to how it was the last time we recorded but i have chair differences you have a chair did you have this printer last week no i had a bum printer that i did buy from the target that ended up being somebody somebody's a box open and returned a different printer inside of it that then stained my fucking carpet with ink for the

second time in one week our beautiful brand new carpets yeah but that's not that's not wonderful so this is this is not a brother printer and i felt a little disloyal i think when they had a brother printer i i'm hugely loyal to the brother brand i guess they didn't have it didn't have it the selection was limited we live we live near a target but it's not it's a miniature target it's not one of the good targets it does have groceries which i definitely do like that but like they don't have shoes for example yeah that's a good way of sort of summarizing it um hey do you have a small wonder that you can talk to me about, please? Oh, I mean, I'm just going to say, and I know that I've talked about playgrounds on this show, but DC has an abundant amount of playgrounds. Yeah.

And they're all really good. Yeah. Like our experience in the past is that there are good playgrounds and then there are not so good playgrounds uh you know either the equipment is really old or they like don't have a swing uh but these playgrounds all look like top of the line like they were built in the past like five years they all look shiny and and they have all the new bells and whistles and that like springy turf that i like so much i love that springy turf a kid could take a header from 20 feet bounce right off yeah so i'm loving that that that is great for us because a lot of times you know like it's hard to hype up a museum to our son yes but a playground

he almost always will get into yeah sure i had something but i lost it oh i'm gonna say when you do kickstart something on kickstarter or any other sort of crowdfunding website and then you immediately forget about it until like two and a half years later when it finally gets delivered to your door and it's like a little it's almost like a time capsule it's like oh what i guess i did i guess i did support that project a very long time ago uh i guess i did support this little hacker handheld that i don't know why i'm not a hacker i don't know why i did it i guess it was it was not that expensive but then it just shows up my door i'm like what the fuck is this

as i say you told me what it was and i immediately forgot well the thing that came yesterday is a gaming handheld thing that i purchased so long ago. But yeah, it's always exciting. I guess it's just exciting to get things in the mail that you forgot you ordered. I like to pre-order stuff. I feel that way about a subscription service. Interesting. Time will pass, and I have no idea how long it has been.

No. And then a box will arrive, and I'm like, oh yeah, here it is. Delightful. Yeah. Yeah. have no idea how long it has been no and then a box will arrive and i'm like oh yeah here it is delightful yeah yeah i go first this week i'm gonna talk about my friend and yours pepperoni this i would be curious if you did any research to figure out why it has such close ties to west virginia yeah it does have them and i will tell them of course i looked that up okay you think i'm gonna miss a chance to talk about my beautiful homestay?

No way, man. Here's something I didn't know. Salami is the big Venn diagram circle. Imagine a big salami. Yeah. And then pepperoni, a small pepperoni fits inside of it. Oh, really? So a pepperoni is a kind of salami.

Yeah. Oh, really? So a pepperoni is a kind of salami. Yeah. So salami is sort of, if I'm not mistaken, like what most sort of Italian cased composite sausages fall under. So everything that you get like underneath that is a salami. So pepperoni is a small salami. I never realized how sonically pleasing pepperoni was until we started saying it over and over again. Yeah, it's a great word to say out loud uh i could do a whole segment on salami because we have had it in the house for a while now and is there anything more except the way you said that was so like it was almost it was almost like um like erotically charged oh i love it

it's nothing's more exciting like i gotta make a sandwich what am i gonna put on a ham like erotically charged. Oh, I love it. It's nothing's more exciting than like, I gotta make a sandwich. What am I gonna put on it? Ham, turkey. For years and years, I just would default to turkey and I kind of forgot like, you know what?

I can buy other meats. Yep. I got those little sandwich rounds, those little sandwich things. And the salami is the exact size of it. And so it's just just it's perfect in every way anyway pepperoni's the star of this show um because it has filled an important part of uh of my life it is i think maybe the best pizza topping the most sort of like

archetypical most like iconic pizza topping yeah like if you see it in a commercial, you're like, I would eat that. When you're eating a gooey cheesy pie and then you get that little spicy visitor, this little spicy friend that comes along for the adventure, that's great. Americans consume around 250 million pounds of pepperoni each year. I'd imagine pizza topping pepperoni

makes up a majority of that because we do order it on 36% of pizzas produced nationally. Okay. I should have asked you what you thought the percentage was because I would have – 36% sounds – Does that seem low? It seems perfect to me. Okay. I bet I could have guessed it to the number if I had really thought about it because I think I've had it on 36% of the pizzas I've had in my life.

Anyway, it makes a fine sandwich meat too. I think I had it on every sandwich I ate in middle school. See, this blows my mind. My whole life, pepperoni was exclusively a pizza topping. No, you're thinking inside the box. I have made many a pizza in our household as a couple. Yeah. And there's always pepperoni left over because they put way too much for one pizza in a bag.

Yeah. And then I would just look at Griffin as he put pepperoni on his sandwiches. Like, what is happening? It's lunch meat. It's a spicy deli meat. I don't know what you want me to say. I'm not going to apologize for my behavior. I guess it's just meat it's a spicy deli meat i don't know what you want me to say i'm not going to apologize for my behavior i guess it's just the uncooked thing the uncooked thing is confusing to me because i've only like it's cured i've only eaten it cooked it's cured it's fine there's no

botulism it's got nitrates and nitrites listeners write in and let me know if in your region you also eat pepperoni on sandwiches okay listen we gotta get to well first of all we're gonna talk about the pepperoni roll but first i do want to say that in nova scotia they eat fried pepperoni as like a bar snack and with like a honey mustard dipping sauce i'd oh i mean sure yeah absolutely okay pepperoni roll is a like an iconic west virginia thing it is probably the like food that west virginia is most known for um and even then i don't know that it's like so widely i don't know that that is common knowledge yeah no i didn't know it like it wasn't like i associated that with west virginia at all yeah so it was uh the pepperoni roll was invented in in west virginia in the 20s basically as like minor food food for minor like digging minors not like young

people uh because it didn't need to be refrigerated and it had so much protein that you could turn into raw digging power will you explain what it is a pepperoni roll is a i always assumed it was like a hot pocket like i figured it was like a pizza in in a roll it's just pepperoni but it's just pepperoni it's just pepperoni inside of a roll there's no pizza sauce or cheese or anything like that uh it's not hot pocket it is hot pocket in form not in in flavor. It is like a softer, chewier baked bread that is just chock-a-block. Not chock-a-block. There is a, I would say in most pepperoni rolls, a conservative amount of pepperoni. Because it's like you don't need a lot.

It asserts itself with only a few beautiful little medallions. But what's good is you warm it up, and when you warm it up, the pepperoni, like, sweats off, and it, like, fills the bread with, like, kind of spicy oil. It's, I would kill for one, right? Right now. And I'm betting in D.C. we probably could source some. We're close, yeah. Some ethically sourced pepperoni rolls.

I want to tell this quick fun sidebar because this is a story I did not know about. So pepperoni rolls invented in West Virginia in the 20s became like a very, very popular thing sold in bakeries. There was a point where the Department of Agriculture and food safety organizations were torn about the pepperoni roll because it is cured meat inside of an encased thing. And so it had different rules about it than just a normal sandwich sold at a bakery or whatever would and so they had to try and impose like restrictions on bakeries that sold pepperoni rolls for food safety reasons uh and so um the united states department of agriculture proposed reclassify i'm reading this from wikipedia uh proposed reclassifying bakeries that manufactured the rolls as meat processing plants thus subjecting them to daily inspections for hygiene. The bakery owner said that meeting the new regulations would increase costs so much that

producing pepperoni rolls would no longer be profitable to them. The United States Department of Agriculture suggested that the bakeries cut them in half and rename them pepperoni sandwiches because cut sandwiches are not subject to the additional hygiene regulations, but the bakeries, and let me editorialize here, wisely refused, saying customers would not buy pepperoni rolls cut in half. That's already pretty wild, right? Jay Rockefeller, U.S. Senator for West Virginia, intervened and met with Secretary of Agriculture Richard Ling. After the meeting, Secretary Ling issued a special exemption to bakeries producing pepperoni rolls. Wow.

I wonder how that meeting went. Your tax dollars at work. That would be a great drunk history. If that show still exists, that would be great. That would be great. Just to talk about that meeting where they were like, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey. Slams one down on the table.

Eat this. Now cut it in half. It's not the same, is it? So I also didn't realize that pepperoni actually originated in the United States in like the 1910s. It was a creation of like Italian-American deli meat scientists who wanted to recreate like southern Italian, like spicy salamis, like your soppressatas, if you will. Yeah.

Cause if you think about like, like Italy, I think like prosciutto, I don't think pepperoni. Uh, well there's, there's, uh,

what is the other one? Cap, Capricola. I can never remember, but there's like, there are things that taste like pepperoni from, from Italy, but pepperoni was,

uh, uh, an invention of italian americans because they didn't have access to the same ingredients so it's like so they use paprika and like chili powder and other things that are not sort of in traditional spicy salamis uh it's also cured with nitrites that give it that red color. That is like why it is red is because of how it is cured. And also the name pepperoni is borrowed from the Italian word pepperoncino, which means spicy peppers.

Yeah. That's fun. That makes sense. I love pepperoni. I think it's a great. We have some downstairs right now. You know that, right? Yeah.

I'll probably continue my streak of eating Italian meat sandwiches for lunch because I guess that's, I'm really discovering who streak of eating Italian meat sandwiches for lunch. Because I guess that's, I'm really discovering who DC Griffin is. He's more, I would say, active. And he loves Italian meat sandwiches in a way that I guess Texas Griffin just didn't really understand. Yeah. Well, I mean, in Texas, right, it's all about barbecue. Fair, yes. And so it wasn't the most welcoming environment.

For an Italian meat sort of expert. Maybe even hostile. Like myself. Yes. Yeah. Although, God, their grocery stores were better. I know. Oh, that was going to be my small wonder.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I've probably talked about it before. Maybe we just, okay, we've only done Wegmans. And I'm sure there's people who've grown up. We've done giant food. We've had some giant food? Yeah. Okay.

Well, let's just say the Wegmans chips and salsa, perhaps unsurprisingly, leaves a great deal to be desired compared to the HEB selections that are available. But from what I understand, you can import the HEB goods, which we may have to start with. What I was going to say is my small wonder is like the sheer number of people we have met that have connections to Texas here. Yeah, true. I feel confident saying that in each conversation, we very comfortably a lot of talk about hgb a lot of our neighbors are our texas uh yeah expats i i bet they know where we can get some hgb i bet you they know that there's a about this like this is this is a thing that you can like

reach out to grocery stores in other states and like just be like china eagle slyly we'll go to wegmans and be like hey listen your chips your tortilla chips aren't very good my friend and they'll be like we know we know here we'll take you in the back room where we sell hep with a ghost of he butts hey can i steal you away yes okay Hi everyone, I'm Anna McLeod. And I'm Alexis B. Preston. And we host a show called Comfort Creatures. The show for every animal lover, be it a creature of scales, six legs, fur, feathers or fiction.

Comfort Creatures is a show for people who prefer their friends to have paws instead of hands. Unless they are raccoon hands, that is okay. That is absolutely okay, yeah. Yes. Every Thursday, we'll be talking to guests about their pets, learning about pets in history, art, and even fiction. Plus, we'll discover differences between pet ownership across the pond. It's going to be a hoot on Maximum Fun.

Hi, everybody. My name is Justin McElroy. And I'm Sydney McElroy. on Maximum Fun. Bones isn't afraid to ask the hard-hitting questions. Like, are vaccines as safe and reliable as they want us to believe? Yes. Do I have to get a flu shot? Yes. Okay. Is science a miracle? No. We have a lot of great history for you and a lot of laughs. And sometimes the history is so bad that there's no laughs.

But. You'll learn something. You'll feel something. And it's always Sawbones. That's right. Every week on MaximumFun.org. Do you want to hear my thing this week? Oh, yeah.

So I was actually encouraged by a listener. I tweeted, we were running late this week. And whenever we do that, I like to tweet a little like, hey, guys, we know we're late. I'm sorry. We have stuff. And somebody was like, I'm dying for Poetry Corner. So, hey, guess what? Oh, wow.

Guess where we're going. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, Oh, gosh. I don't know. That makes Poetry Corner sound like it's off a cliff. Yeah. Well, I was thinking of it more like it was ascending into heaven. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. See, that's glasses half full. I would love to hear like a nice tenor soprano version of Tossed Salad and Scrambled Eggs. Next live show.

Oh. What? I thought you were going to talk about your poetry corner theme and not the fraser theme i was saying it's the same next live show it's the same song in my wildest dream next live show i'll pull out a standing bass and no we have like a little like a quartet like a little uh barbershop come out and do our poetry corner theme for us and not like a jazz trio or something no i want a bunch of people standing around a microphone going in different like and then do we have them bust out like the drew carrey show theme song and growing pains and like

some other i mean it would make sense right if we're going to pay for a group to come to not have them perform for three seconds and then send them off the stage. I should be clear when I said the Drew Carey Show theme song, I did mean Moon Over Parma and not Cleveland Rocks by Presidents of the United States of America. I know there were gonna be a lot of people in the audience

who were confused by when I said that. How did you know the name? Well, first of all, I love Presidents of the United States of America, the band, not the dudes. And that was their song? that how did you know the name well first of all i love presidents united states of america the band not the dudes and that was their song cleveland rocks was their song moon over moon over parma i think yeah that's what i'm talking about how did you know that moon over parma because it starts with moon over parma bring my love to me tonight i used to watch the drew carey show quite a bit oh and which i'm just now realizing

similar to how i had a sort of darman greg awakening during that special episode wait i used to watch this show we have delayed this poetry corner okay i'm sorry the the poet i would like to speak about this week is jane hirschfield i know that name oh yeah i mean she's still kicking around making the poems yeah uh she She is kind of, I mean, she's not a member of what is often called the Zen poets, but she did study Zen Buddhism at the San Francisco Zen Center for several years. Okay. So she is kind of associated with them. I don't know if that's why you would know her. It means nothing to me.

If she had been known as one of the Zen poets, do you think I would have been like, oh, yeah. I don't know if that's why you would know her. It means nothing to me. If she had been known as one of the Zen poets, do you think I would have been like, oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Sometimes in an English literature class, you study the different movements in poetry. Okay. Did you ever do that?

I never took an English literature class. So. Shut up. I don't think I did. I'm just finding this out. I mean took okay i took what did you what did you take i mean i know you were journalism but like didn't you didn't take like a i had a let's read books and talk about them class so i had a west virginia literature class where we talked about like poetry and books written by like west virginia authors and in college in college yeah uh i don't think oh

i don't think i ever had to read period book and college i had to do like a ton of science and history and math and foreign language and like all that stuff was part of what they called the marshall plan but i i don't think this is alarming to me. I mean, I read books. I just thought it's like part of the core, you know, like these classes everybody takes when they go to a state school. Please understand though, you went to school for reading for like seven years.

So maybe your baseline is a little bit intense. That's true. I guess it's not like you were an accounting major where you had to take all of these like math courses. Like I just assume- You would think I was. You had a lot of room in there. I had to take an econ class.

Well, yeah, I did too when I thought I was going to be a journalism major. Hell yeah. All right. Anyway, we are all over the place. We got a dial, and we are doing Jane Dirty right now. So the exciting thing about Jane Hirschfeld is that she she's still she's still out there like producing books all the time a lot of these poets who kind of made a name for themselves like decades ago have kind of like settled into teaching and have not continued to release she had a book called ledger

come out in 2020 like she is she is up in the biz every day every day every day every day she releases a new book of poetry um i thought i thought this was a nice so i i'm at poets.org and they a lot of times will have different poets talk about the poet that they are featuring and so this is rosanna warren who said hirschfield has elaborated a sensuously philosophical art that imposes a pause in our fast forwardforward habits of mind. Her poems appear simple and are not. Her language, in its cleanliness and transparency, poses riddles of a quietly metaphysical nature. Ooh, boy. I cannot wait to hear this poem. I thought it was like a really succinct, like, nice introduction to her. Yeah, I'm intrigued.

Her work has been selected for seven editions of best american poetry my lord so i don't know if you if you i guess you're probably not familiar but every year best american poetry comes out i know it's an annual thing so seven editions of it represents a great deal of of poetry she has taught at stanford at university of san francisco at Duke University, at the University of Alaska, at the University of Virginia, at the University of Cincinnati. Was she run out of town on a rail in all of those cities? That's so many schools to teach in. This is what I was going to say.

So a lot of these universities will have like a poet in residence or a visiting poet program. And so you can kind of make your living hopping around. She was not tenured necessarily and then just broke out like, here's the dark poetry from the Necronomicon. And they're like, you got to get out of here. We don't do that stuff here at Duke. Yes, she's just, I mean, and this is how poets make their living, right? This is why it's so hard to get a book out is that you have to teach and you can hop around chasing fellowships.

And that's exactly what she's done. And she's continued to publish, which I think is pretty impressive. I read this interview with her where she talks about her most recent book, Ledger, that came out on March 10th, 2020, which she refers to as the day that everything, the day that everything after was canceled. Yeah. Like, I can't even imagine. That's happened to a lot of writers. Like, their book comes out right at the beginning of the pandemic, and they have this whole

Torah plan, and everything is canceled indefinitely. Yeah, I can't imagine what that's like. But the poem I am going to read is not from her most recent book. Golden Oldie. Okay, it is from 2013, and the poem is called My Skeleton. Whoa, hold on. You gotta tell me.

Is this gonna be a scary one? It's not spooky. All right. I promise I will bring a spooky poem. I don't want a skeleton nightmare. As we get closer to Halloween. Oh, that would be cool. Right?

Yeah. I love theme. He did the mash. It's a call and response poem. Griffin, you do your part. My Skeleton. My Skeleton, you who once ached with your growing larger are now each year imperceptibly smaller,

lighter, absorbed by your own concentration. When I danced, you danced. When you broke, I. And so it was lying down, walking, climbing the tiring stairs, your jaws, my bread. Someday you, what is left of you, will be flensed of this marriage. Angular wrist bones arthritis, cracked harp of rib cage, blunt of heel, open bowl of skull, twin platters of pelvis, each of you will leave me behind at last serene. What did I know of your days, your nights, I who held you all my life inside my hands and thought they were empty. You who held me all my life inside your hands as a new mother holds her unblanketed child, not thinking at all.

That was a little spooky. It was a little spooky, I guess. I loved it. And it was very, a metaphysical riddle. I will concede that, but also a little spooky, I guess. I loved it. And it was very a metaphysical riddle. I will concede that, but also a little spooky. I appreciate, you know, there's all this messaging now about having gratitude for your body, you know, like not focusing as much on the shape or size, but just the fact that your body allows you to move around and do the things you want to do all day.

And I feel like that poem really kind of reminds you like, hey, you have you have all these bones in your body. They're helping you like do your thing. And, you know, it's like this other part of you that that meets your needs and will continue to exist long after you are gone. You know, I think that's interesting. For sure. Nice.

I genuinely loved that. It did remind me of this clip and it's from like a show like kids say the darndest things where they're interviewing a child and they say to him like where do you see where do you think you're going to be uh or what do you think you're going to look like in 50 years and the this boy just responded old bones in a grave wow it's probably not true i would hope but wow that's my poetry this thing this kid said on television she said in an interview she likes she really likes the relationship of like science to poetry and so she likes to like include little science facts where she can.

And she talks about when you do get older, that's what happens. Your bones like get absorbed into your body. Beautiful. I know. I love it. I've got raw bone power coursing through every part of me now.

And the name of this show is now Bone Power. Thanks for listening to Bone Power. We hope you've had a good time. Thanks to Bowen and Augustus for the use of our theme song, When He Won't Pay. You can find a link to that in the episode description.

I was worried this was a biblical reference that I was just totally missing.

I climbed the mountain and God gave me a stool. And then it did metamorphosize into a chair. You know, I was in the cave. I had the stool. I stepped outside. I saw the face of God in the clouds. And then the chair, the stool turned into a chair. And the lumbar support is out of sight. Money wall, hey! Working all day. Money wall, hey!
