We are capping off Season 4 with a tribute to next season’s two-parter, Herman Melville’s sister-boinking polycule classic Pierre. We inhabit the mind of Melville and create a Frankenstein Pierre using some old favorites. All we have to do is find a mom with no chill, a theme for our polycule, a “man-child invincible,” a sister to pine after, a forgettable plot device character, and someone to write this bananas-ass book. Plus Jello. You don’t need to know anything about Pierre to have a good time with this unholy creation, but we hope you want to by the end of the episode.

While you’re listening, we suggest you find a recipe for Pretzel Salad, google some pictures of the Phillie Phanatic, and scroll through Joe Gorga’s instagram (@joeygorga) for some nuggets of New Jersey wisdom. You won’t regret any of it.
