    Jun 19 2024
    Comedian Matty Ryan tells the (hilarious) story of how he got stung by a jelly fish while taking a dip in the ocean in what was intended to be a quick frolic into the water while stuck in traffic. Matty then consults with an increasingly large number of people and experts to get advice on the pain, all of which just seem to laugh. Matty joins CJ and Sean in the studio and we talk about the story, and most importantly the urban legend that they only way to fix a jelly fish sting is to urinate on it. This leads to a theme on 'urban legends', in particular urban legends that drunks believe, like sucking on a penny to get out of DUI or eating the right foods to become sober.
