3465: From a Distance w/ Mary Jo Pehl

[Keith]

Mystery Science Theater 3000’s Mary Jo Pehl joins KATG to discuss being a teenager working at an assisted living facility, being robbed at gunpoint(?) while working at a 7-Eleven, and what she learned about handling terrible situations as an adult. NEWS BREAK: The judge in Wisconsin shooter Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial says lawyers cannot call the 2 people Kyle killed “victims”. Mary Jo discusses an uninvited fan showing up at her home, and Keith and Mary Jo discuss their history with the Catholic Digest. NEWS BREAK: The Passion of the Christ’s Jim Caviezel is a QAnon speaker, Alec Baldwin’s prop gun that killed a cinematographer had been used earlier with live rounds by the crew to shoot cans and bottles for fun, and an art collective is selling a 1954 Andy Warhol sketch along with 99 fakes for $250 each without you knowing if you’re buying the real one or a fake. Oh, and Sniffies.com.

Really liked this episode. I have no idea what she looks like so I'm imagining she looks like Phyllis from The Office cause she sounds exactly like Phyllis.

Great job Keith and Hamda😁
Bring her back for a silent trailers she'd be fun

[Apia resurrected]

I'm sure I would have worked after it.
I tend to feel responsible too much and always did especially at work. Yes, this is something I talk about in therapy because it's not good!

She sounds exactly like me at 17.

[Apia resurrected]

Quick inside into my inner life:

I feel as I said often too responsible and not doing it so much was one big thing in my life.
Somehow I was very often in the situation where I had to quit a job because it was shitty in some way or and my feeling was like:
" how can I do this to them?"
It got better with every time. What didn't help is that often the reaction was not wanting to let me go and trying to guilt me into staying. It feels like someone tries to strangle me.

Before Mr Apia it was the same with relationships. The men also always made braking up with them really hard.

So I guess a fight for autonomy is a big theme here?

I'm glad you shared the Sniffy part of Chu & A because Keith did such a good job of selling it that I went to see what he was seeing, haha.

In the future you could also promo the section where Keith acts out what he would do it someone started crying while he was blowing them. I was dying.

[Apia resurrected]

She was so sweet and funny on the show. I know Rod will wonder if she was a piece of shit secretly but I don't think / hope so.

BEST NEW GUEST

Maybe it was just me... but Keith's excitement and reverence for this new guest felt palpable, and this version of Keith is always my favourite.

Also, it kinda felt like Chemda found a new best friend in Mary Jo?

Exquisite exciting soft hilarious chemistry between the three of you.

what a fucking delight.

And here I was thinking we'd heard Chemda's name mispronounced every possible way already. There really is always more to learn.
