So make a hot cup of tea with fresh honey you bought from some strange man on the side of the road and listen in as we learn the story of Burt, his Bees, and Roxanne, the woman behind it all.

Yellow jackets are the land bees. Unlike the Showtime show, the land bee yellow jackets are surprisingly fast and do cause suspense, creeping fear, and drama!

So when I joined the patreon Mrs P said to find a salve for my name….the lack of nipple cream being sold at Ulta/Sephora is literally how I got this name. I love how this has come full circle lol. Long live book club and can we get Mrs P’s deviled egg recipe? Pretty please?

The only ground-nesting bees that really have a social hive are bumblebees. They aren’t scary. Maybe y’all were taking about yellow jackets or some other vespid?

I can not believe you just brought up Steve the pickle man on this episode!! I was patiently waiting for you to tell the neck stab story. 😂😂 He is still around selling pickles. My mom works at Kaplan’s bakery and I still get the pickles and horseradish. Best horseradish ever.

I have so many thoughts about ointments and salves now! I will measure and write it out (recipe) next time I make them.. it’s a very spoonful of this , pinch of that situation~ .Mrs. P

The Horseradish!! It’s so good! Now I wanna make roast beef just for that horseradish ~ Mrs.P

"I realized foods I didn't like were just my family making them wrong" resonates in my soul. Some of my favorite foods now only became my favorite foods after I started making them myself.

not me using chapstick brand chapstick this morning 🤣

Okay, Chapstick family and Burts Bees family.. but what about those of us who grew up in a Carmex family?

The Pod is Coming From Inside the Cast!

Mr P mentioned that you can add the Patreon versions of the podcasts to you podcast app of choice and I thought I'd tell you where to get it seeing as I was the one that pestered him on here to activate the feature. So on the main Pearlmania Patreon page if you click on the "Membership" tab you'll see the option to copy the RSS feed right there. It's a special custom feed just for you! Copy that into the app and you'll get it like everything else you subscribe to. If you're looking for a podcast app I highly recommend PocketCasts, I've been using it for years.

I have heard stories from wait staff at a couple of restaurants and I saw his truck parked outside a Wawa in NE Philly a couple months back. He's SO Philly.

I do have a deep love to Carmex , that was my go to for walking to school in the winter. ~ Mrs. P

You're fortunate not to have a parent who pulled out the tub every time you got sick and forced it onto your lips. I know that it works excellent but it tastes like trauma 🤣

Ok so of course I grabbed onto the grimmest detail in the episode and my curiosity was piqued re: suicide rates. Maine, as mentioned, is pretty high with 18.1/100,000 people. I looked at Alaska, which Alex mentioned was the highest rates in the USA. 21.8/100,000. Now, what I was curious about was the argument that because Winters are cold and dark, etc, because Maine is so much more North than other places in the US. I live in Canada. The province I grew up in (Saskatchewan. It's like the Minnesota of Canada) is 18.1/100,00 (on par with Maine). The province I currently live in is 14.3 (not great). Nunavut??? 82/100,000. Nearly 4 times Alaska! Northwest territories is close to Alaska, about 20 per. But Nunavut is mind blowing. (There's a lot of reasons, including the effects of colonization on indigenous communities, which make up the vast majority of the population up North.) anyway, I found this information incredibly startling.

Please don’t tell me burts bees is bad, I cannot emotionally withstand it rn

I found the pickle man’s insta & that’s wild. I loved this deep dive. I’m really hoping y’all do one on Bob Ross, I had no idea about the story there.

Sierra

My life is better now that I have the knowledge the pickle man exists. I looked him up and he’s glorious 😂 I would absolutely buy some pickles from him for the restaurants I work in hahah

Jennifer

Where can I find that??? Burt sounds like he was a cool dude!

All Glory to the Hypno Toad

Is the Pickleman still selling pickles? The most recent thing I found is him in AC back in July.

Spacey Stacey

Bad deviled eggs are the WORST. I have a friend who puts sugar in hers and they are awful. Who does that. It's blasphemous.

Anyone get some MST3K vibes from the soup vs stew convo? I don’t remember the episode but Mike and the robots were dressed up as some older TV host and debated soup and stew.

Pearlmania500 made it to my number 2 spot on my Spotify wrapped this year! Thanks for the laughs Mrs. & Mr. P

Did Mrs. P also operate the airhorn during the intro? Need to know for future FANDOM.

As a Mainer, I grew up hearing about Roxanne Quimby and knowing she was connected to Burt's Bees, but had no idea how. I moved away because tourism and hospitals seemed to be the only sources for income aside from the food service hustle. That and the rent for a studio is like 1k+ now, tent cities have popped up, and LePage/Collins with their supporters threaten my existence as a mixed queer person. Maine feels very much like a rich person's playground and there's only so much catering one can do before it wears on ya, considering the scale of prices. In 2014, I would rent a place for 400/month. That same place is 2.5k/month now.

Omgosh when you all were talking about the Philly pickle man I instantly thought of this movie An American Pickle 🥒 🫣😅😂🤣
