From Velvet and Big Cucumbers to Absurdist Graffiti: A Wild Ride with Marlo and Mary
On the latest episode of The Absurdists, Marlo Anderson and Mary Murphy take us on another rollercoaster ride of hilarity and peculiar musings. From wardrobe confessions (blue velvet, anyone?) to the accidental messages that left their senders red-faced, the duo keeps the laughs coming.
Marlo reminisces about the unexpected texts and voicemails that left an indelible mark—like the infamous “big cucumber” text sent to a professor and a mysterious woman’s microwave notification from her phone company. Meanwhile, Mary shares her take on bathroom stall graffiti trends (spoiler: “Toy Story 2 is okay” is surprisingly popular).
Not to be outdone, the pair dives into cats’ antics with autocorrect mishaps, bizarre motion-detection emails, and even pranks involving printing hundreds of “Hello” pages. Plus, we learn about Marlo’s personal autocorrect disaster involving a bamboo-related text (don’t ask).
Highlights include:
- A CEO bombarded with 600 banana bread recipes—thanks to a cat on the keyboard.
- A sleepwalking contest entrant who accidentally claimed a prize months later.
- The accidental breakup text that was sent… to a mom.
As always, Marlo and Mary bring their absurdist lens to life’s everyday oddities. Want to join in the fun? Share your absurd stories with The Absurdists crew and let the hilarity unfold.
