John ByrnesGUEST
Had to walk over the 59th Street Bridge that day.
John ByrnesGUEST
Uh, she didn't know what to do, so she just went to the grocery store and bought bread and cold cuts, and every day she would come into Manhattan with Saran Wrap, cold cuts, and give them to any emergency workers who were around who were hungry.
John ByrnesGUEST
Um, millions of...
John ByrnesGUEST
Well, millions.
Rayna GreenbergHOST
As a fed- as a federal aviation lawyer, I think that for the safety of the passengers, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Rayna GreenbergHOST
And maybe there aren't a lot of handcuffs on planes and weapons, because they could be used by people for bad stuff, and so it's just like, you gotta use kitchen stuff, you know? Like Saran Wrap if duct tape is not available.
Rayna GreenbergHOST
Whatever means necessary.
Ashley HesseltineHOST
Isn't this what air marshals for?
JanAUDIENCE
They don't have them just straight on the, on the, on the couches, you know? Yeah.
JanAUDIENCE
Can I say something about, um, Glad Wrap?
Marcus LushHOST
Please.
Marcus LushHOST
I've been waiting for this.
JanAUDIENCE
Well, years ago I would always buy the small Glad Wrap.
JanAUDIENCE
They had mini Glad Wrap, and they had the longer one.
JanAUDIENCE
And you got the one where you pull it out and you've got the thing you slide along.
JanAUDIENCE
And the other one had a, um, little saw thing on it, and you'd just take it, open it, and you'd just...
Kristin Du MezGUEST
Women like Elizabeth Elliot, the famous missionary whose husband was martyred, who then authored the book that really kickstarted the purity movement later and kind of centered this anti-feminist vision of biblical womanhood.
Kristin Du MezGUEST
I was looking at Maribel Morgan of Saran Wrap fame, right? Please your husband, submit to him, and in turn, he'll give you everything you want.
Kristin Du MezGUEST
That's the model for Christian womanhood.
Kristin Du MezGUEST
What does that have to
Ben WittesHOST
do with saran wrap?
Kristin Du MezGUEST
Oh, Ben.
Kristin Du MezGUEST
Oh, oh.
Kristin Du MezGUEST
And this was the idea, actually not in the book, The Total Woman, but it did come up in conversation.
Lacey IskraHOST
We were totally ...
Lacey IskraHOST
The amount of sandwiches I threw out over the years, and it's even funny, because I feel like just this summer, like, with Marina here and us going on the boat, we've just, like, been making sandwiches with, and wrapping them in Saran Wrap, and I swear I have, like, a PTSD around-
Kira IskraHOST
Yes.
Kira IskraHOST
[laughs]
Lacey IskraHOST
...
Lacey IskraHOST
Saran Wrap and sandwiches.
Lacey IskraHOST
But I feel bad.
Kira IskraHOST
Mm.
Mark OsteenGUEST
Also, there's all the detergents and cleaners in the Deming household, which, of course, are chemicals.
Mark OsteenGUEST
And let's not forget Saran Wrap and condoms, which are also manufactured by Dow Chemical.
Mark OsteenGUEST
Some of them, they made prophylactics as well as Saran Wrap, so more chemicals there.
Mark OsteenGUEST
And of course, Louis Bakey's exposed to radioactivity, which are, you know, chemicals as well.
Mark OsteenGUEST
And let's, we can't forget napalm and Agent Orange either, can we? The stuff that those bombers are dropping, also pr- uh, manufactured by Dow Chemical.
Mark OsteenGUEST
Go to their supermarkets, they have two things.
Mark OsteenGUEST
Our supermarkets, right, as we found out in White Noise, [laughs] gleaming with psychic data and, you know, burnished fruit and all these wonderful colored products, right? That's, that's Cold War because we're competing with the Russians.
Mark OsteenGUEST
So they may have Sputnik, but we've got Saran Wrap.
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
He filled buckets with seawater, but didn't drink the seawater.
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
He stretched plastic bags over them and let the heat of the sun beating down on the full bucket of water covered with, you know, Saran Wrap, create condensation, which was fresh water.
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
So not glasses of it, not even mouthfuls.
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
Kai realized that he could just lick the plastic and he would be drinking, albeit very small amounts, of fresh water.
Jethro Gilligan TothHOST
[laughs]
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
It's not only a guy, it's a guy on a sailboat with no mast who's apparently been navigating the Pacific using plumbing supplies and kayak equipment.
Jethro Gilligan TothHOST
While licking Saran Wrap.
Lindsay SchneblyHOST
And like right out of a Hollywood ending, the crew comes to his rescue.
Ronnie RomanceHOST
And I think the history of all that kind of goes back to, I want to say I learned that from Tom Swallow.
Ronnie RomanceHOST
The soft bags? No, well, the saran wrap thing.
AriaHOST
Oh, we're not there yet.
Ronnie RomanceHOST
We aren't?
AriaHOST
But at the end of the trip, when we ended up in Chania to ship it, we had nothing.
AriaHOST
And there were no bike shops that had boxes that big that would fit our bikes, camp stuff.
AriaHOST
And so we learned from Tom Swallow's bike of Baja trip that you can saran wrap all of
Ronnie RomanceHOST
it.
speaker_0HOST
There's just nothing that's gonna preserve it any better than anything else.
speaker_0HOST
At the end of the day, if you really wanna do something with it, and you don't have a c- uh, like a proper champagne stopper, put some Glad Wrap on it or something.
speaker_0HOST
And at the end of the day, you're not trying to preserve the bubbles anyway.
speaker_0HOST
All you're trying to do is to stop it, you know, limit spillage or anything getting in there.
Angela DuckworthHOST
Everything is slipcovered.
Angela DuckworthHOST
The remote control is wrapped in Saran Wrap.
Angela DuckworthHOST
And I was like, "Really?"
Stephen DubnerHOST
Now, does this person have any characteristics that you would connect to that preservation appetite?
Angela DuckworthHOST
I mean, they're Asian.
Angela DuckworthHOST
A lot of my relatives, I'm not saying that only Asians, you know, Saran Wrap their remote controls.
Angela DuckworthHOST
Many, many cultures also have these practices.
Stephen DubnerHOST
I can vouch for that, by the way.
