- How brings up his forgetting of Mr. Mayonnaise last month in our
Kitchen Kabaret episode. With so many characters in the show, it's
amazing we didn't forget more... We are glad to fix the mistake though.
How also answers some listener questions surrounding Bonnie Appetite's
design and where she now resides.Listener Mail - Our
friend Dan wrote in and asked a question regarding a tram ride and the
sewers of Paris. He remembers this happening in 1981, so we dive head
first into the sewers to let you know our thoughts... We also received a
tweet from Mike with some awesome matchbooks. This led to a small
discussion about these great free souvenirs you were able to get. Please
