This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

Hello, the internet, and welcome to this spin-off episode of the Daily Zykeist called

The Econograph.

On a graph.

Iconograph.

Instead of looking at the Zykegeist through current events, we're looking at it through the lens of powerful pop cultural horrocks that are our icons.

Horcrucks.

Uh, we use these characters to create meaning, to build identity, to know what our grandfathers were jacking off to.

Grandpa.

To teach us that when standing on a subway grate, you should just wear a sensible pair of slacks,

much less problems.

And most importantly, we learn how to cure Frank Sinatra's erectile dysfunction.

That's right.

Today, we're talking Marilyn Monroe, nay, Norma Jean.

That's the first big one.

Do you know her name wasn't even actually Marilyn Monroe, dude? I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. How are you? How are you? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Norma Jean, that's one, that's like, I think, the only bit of trip. Goodbye, Norma Jean. Is that about her? That's, I think that was the first thing. That was my first introduction. But her fucking name was dang. There was some, like, HBO movie where it was, like, something in, like, Norma Jean or something. And I was just like, oh, yeah, yep, yep, yep. That's, and that's the depth of my knowledge of Marilyn Monroe. That, and she's buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, I think. No, she's buried at the Westwood Cemetery. Westwoods gone. Damn it, Miles. And it was drugs? And we're going to talk about it.

Oh, shit.

But in our third seat, a TDZ Hall of Fame.

We're one of the very faces on Mount Zitmore, a brilliant stand-up comedian you've seen on MTV, Comedy Central, NBC, True TV.

You've heard her on Bob's Burgers.

You can see her in her hilarious special live from the Big Dog and on her podcast.
