Next week on Storyworthy, we have comedian Ron Zimmerman.

My knee was shattered, some ribs and my nose broken,

and thanks to my death not beginning, my life was over.

Next week on Storyworthy. Welcome to the story-worthy podcast.

Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hanna Spinney, and this is a best-of-story-worthy episode.

That's right. Tonight we're highlighting two comedians, Frank Conniff and Blaine Cabatch.

These guys are both hilarious. They are. And they have two very different stories. Frank Conniff's story. He's

up first and his story is called Young and Old. Do you remember this on us? I do. I believe he is

talking to himself. Exactly. The old older, I should say Frank, talking to the younger Frank. And giving advice. Giving advice, which the younger Frank, if I know anything about science fiction, would not listen to. That's exactly right. And then eventually the aliens would take over the planet. And Frank could have stopped it, but he didn't. Oh, I gave away the ending. This is actually a show that was taped at a live episode at M-Barr. Remember that?

Yes, yes, at M-Barr. So you will hear like just, it's kind of like Springsteen. We do a four-hour show. There's 70,000 people. It's kind of like that.

Yeah, except that it's on the corner of Vine in Santa Monica. Right. There's 12 people and it's 48 minutes.

Actually, it was a good gig. I remember that night well, and I really did like his story.

So, let's see. What else do we have to cover before we go to the story. Oh, I also want to tell you about, by the way, if you want to buy, you know, some Civil War pornography or perhaps some Vietnam War pornography, go to Amazon.com and go to Amazon.com

through our website, storyworthy podcast.com. That way you get what you want and we get a little

bit of money. That was a good ad hon. You really made that compact. I did. That's what she said. Although,

I don't know why you think that people during wartime really need pornography. Do you think

they do more than any other time? Sure. Now they come think pornography? Do you think they do more than any other

time? Sure. Now they come to think of it. I think they do. Although, you know, pornography has

always been one of the biggest businesses in the world. Right. Always. Like, you know, people are like,

oh, Civil War pornography. That's funny. Of course there was pornography in the Civil War. There's

pornography in the, before those printed word. You never stopped reminding me of it. I know. Well, look, the pornography is there. Look, the interweb back when I was a boy, I remember you had to. You're getting around to Amazon.com that you think most people buy their porno through Amazon. Right. You want to deliver it in a brown paper package from a respectable company. I see. Through storyworthy podcast.

Right.
