| 0:51.3 | Welcome to Storyworthy. I am Christine Blackburn and I'm here with Hanna Sfini and we're coming to you from Penn Jolette's basement because Penn Jolette loves you now because you were on his show Penn Sunday School. Wow. I don't know if that's where we should come from, Honest. Sure it is. He doesn't have to know about it. I mean he's he's we snuck in through a window. Oh, at Penn's House. Yeah, yeah, at Penn's House. Here in Las Vegas, you mean? |
| 1:30.6 | Here in Las Vegas, you mean? Here in Las Vegas, right, we came to Las Vegas. We have the ridden white tigers very quietly up the lawn and snuck in through the basement windows. Wait a minute. I don't think Penn Gillette has white tigers, man. Well, of course not. We had to borrow them. Roy. But that's who we borrowed them from. Yes, and. |
| 1:45.5 | Yes, man. Well, of course not. We had to borrow them. Well, that's who we borrowed them from. Yes, and. Yes, and. Come on. And Lance Burton, you know, I met Lance Burton once, the magician on stage. I taught him how to read a teleprompter. And I say to myself, hey, magic man, if you know so much about magic, why do you have to read the teleprompter anyway? You know what I mean? Because it's not a mad telepromp does not magic. It's cheating? I don't know. Honest, I don't know why we're coming from Mustangs. Tell us about Penn Sunday School. Okay, because I was recently on Penn Sunday School. Penn Sunday School. Penn Sunday School. Penn Jolette has a podcast. It's been on about two months, not that long. |
| 2:02.4 | It's called Penn Sunday School. The idea is that it is a once a week podcast about atheism, essentially. He's an atheist. I'm an atheist, so that kind of works out. Well, so it's a whole internet, so this is a big potential audience. Well, what Penn has been doing is he's been auditioning newsgirls, is what they call them, a newsgirl. |
| 2:19.5 | Think Teresa Strasser. |

| 2:18.7 | them, a news girl. |
| 2:19.5 | Think Teresa, think Alison Rosen, think Robin Quivers. Think Eddie Pepitone. Now, they like to have a girl. I'm not sure why that is. Because I think comedy, basically, as you know, dominated by men, is it not? Right. So what they figure is they can get a female voice in there. |
| 2:35.1 | Right. |
| 2:35.3 | But they hardly ever wanted to be one of the main voices because it's a voice club. They just wanted to give facts. They want you to throw out the facts.
