Comic, actor and cartoonist Mary Gallagher got a bad perm and then decided to trim the sides because her grandfather said she should always show her ears. She then reached her final form of the 1980’s—The Mary Mullet Perm. Elke and Mary chat about Mary's new empty nest, finding your voice in comedy, and one of Mary's most infamous high school nicknames (which involves The Beatles and a very curious monkey).
