Marissa the Total Stranger: California, Comedy, and Camming,

What this episode covers

This episode is quite unique. We were set up to record on the third floor at The Raven Lounge on Sansom Street. Our guest never showed. Just as we were about to call it a night, in walked a woman who said they double-booked the third floor and she was there to take some photographs. Basically, she was kicking us out. We asked her if she wanted to be on a podcast. She asked when. We said now. She said okay. It was as if the universe sent her to us to save our asses. None of us knew her or had ever heard of her. We knew nothing about her other than she was a photographer. Johnny started to do a Google search, but we quickly decided it would be much more interesting to go in completely cold. Everything you hear is exactly as the interview happened. It’s unedited, except for the addition of our traditional transition beats, so you can listen as everything unfolded just as we did. Her name is Marissa. She’s originally from the Fox Chase area of Philly. She’s a former stand-up comedian and she’s has had quite a few interesting jobs, including Wawa and camming, one of which may have led to the most outrageous story ever told on The Philly Blunt. You wouldn’t believe it if we didn’t capture the audio as proof. Thanks to Raven Lounge for giving us a space to tell these great stories of interesting Philadelphians.
