k&k episode 245 - the one where they discuss the advantages and disadvantages of speedos... and stuff...
We're finally nicely settled in the Not Coffee table Studio for episode 245, yet the chaos continues as Katia makes a confession, and we ask what would YOU do if someone had something stuck in their teeth, which leads us to a lengthy swimsuit discussion. We then chat about lame-o beaches, the fun of the live shows and the NCtS, birthday months and missing out on parties (oh, the obligations of professional podcasters such as ourselves), youtube sensations, symphony moments, crazy fake gypsy ladies (with entertaining phone interruptions) and name-calling.
This episode was brought to you by the word "une salope" (a bitch).
If you haven't seen Jizz in My Pants and Puke in My Mouth, GO. Right now. And if you would like to be scarred for life, google "phone sex grandma". Ew.
1. No more talk about Lake Michigan having lame-o beaches!! There are some gorgeous sand beaches along the shore of the great lakes that feel just like the ocean - except no salt water, no sharks, jellyfish or stingrays.
2. Things like board shorts and those swim mini skirts have gotten lots more popular over here in recent years - I get lots of catalogs with board shorts for women in them.
3. Speedos should totally be illegal unless you are an olympic swmimmer. When we were on our honeymoon in the Bahamas, a large man in a extra-tight speedo walked up and down the beach asking if anyone wanted to "ride the big banana." EWWWWW (he was selling rides on an inflatable tube thingy)
Even when I swam for my school's team the boys didn't wear speedos-they all wore jammers, which are bathing suit material and tight like a speedo, but they are as long as shorts. And thank god they wore them-swim practice would have been a giggle-fest otherwise!
And yes, women are starting to wear board shorts at the beach or pool around here in the good old south, but I don't see women swimming in them, and they wear them over a regular swim suit. But they do swim in those little swim suit skirt cover up things.
Along the lines of the SNL videos, "I'm on a Boat" is also funny! Those guys have an album on iTunes now too!






Oh man, we want to take Fry to the public pool this summer and Stéphane will have to wear a speedo. I love my husband very very much, but it's gonna be damned hard to keep a straight face!
Katia, I'm pretty sure you'd have to wear a bathing suit (tight fitting suit) to a public pool here. Back in my day on Cocoa Beach I think the girlie surfers wore regular swimsuits or at most one of those short sleeved zip up suits (sorry, brain fog!). I never saw girls wearing board shorts on Cocoa Beach!
