单集文稿 ...

  • This is 99% invisible.

  • I'm Roman Mars.

  • Everything outside might be frightful, but a new batch of mini stories are here to make the next 30 minutes or so absolutely delightful.

  • So grab something warm, gather the kids around the old wireless transceiver and enjoy stories about funny and surprisingly controversial highway signs.

  • Jane Fonda saving you money on rent, the most famous act of contrition of all time.

  • Or possibly the greatest PR comeback of all time, depending on who you're asking.

  • And we learn together that the most accomplished artists of the classical world have all agreed that I, your host, have the most beautiful feet that a person can have.

  • Let's go.

  • So I'm joined by our producer, Chris Berube.

  • Hey, Chris.

  • Roman.

  • It is the most wonderful time of the year.

  • Great to be here.

  • It's a delight to have you.

  • So what is the story you have for us today?

  • So, Roman, I know I'm always comparing America to Canada as resident Canadian guy on the show.

  • Yes, I'm well aware.

  • Yeah.

  • Look, my New Year's resolution, I'm going to tone down the Canada stuff for next year on the show.

  • But I don't think you have to, but you do what feels right to you.
