AI-Generated Summary

In this episode of Never Not Funny, host Jimmy Pardo reflects on the recent 20th anniversary spectacular, teasing the upcoming full-length release of the event—expected to run between eight and nine hours—with a humorous prediction that it will start early and run loose after 7 PM. He promotes exclusive merchandise, including 20th anniversary shirts and signed posters auctioned for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in honor of Andrew J. Koenig. The episode features a lighthearted, chaotic banter among the hosts, with running jokes about Garen being 'targeted' by buses and Elliot being hit by planes—delivered with escalating absurdity. Guest Josh Day joins to discuss his relationship with girlfriend Tara, the pronunciation of her name, and a personal anecdote about his ex-wife Sarah, leading to playful wordplay and a tribute to the song 'O-Tara' by The Knack. The hosts also dive into a linguistic debate about the terms 'rally' and 'volley' in sports, with Garen offering a detailed etymology of 'cannon volley' and a surprising update that cannons were still used in the 2016 Syrian Civil War. The episode closes with sponsor plugs for Quince (fashion), Pesty (pest control), and a mention of Jimmy’s appearance on the podcast '1,000 Greatest Misses'.

There's no way to look that up. Probably not. Traditional black powder muzzle-loading cannons were phased out by the late 19th century. So that's 1800s, yeah.
