This special episode was recorded live at Lil’ Indies, a beloved Orlando bar where Roo and Aimee have hosted countless comedy shows. Known for its cozy atmosphere and delicious drinks (though we’re not sponsored by neighboring restaurant Plantees), Lil’ Indies set the perfect stage for an unforgettable night.

PLEASE KNOW that this is a live recording and Aimee messed up the original recording, so we used the audio from Roo’s camera. WE ARE LEARNING AS WE GO PEOPLE! So, there are some background noises and weird edits and cuts and you know what, you will just feel like a real live experience while you listen to this, which we absolutely meant to do.

This episode featured guest comedians Jazmynne Sierra and Jason Montilla. Jazmynne shared a wild story about booking Roo and Aimee for a show last year, where she met her dad and his family for the first time.

Roo discussed her decision to avoid pork and gelatin, while Aimee tackled the true meaning behind “this little piggy went to the market.” The duo also dove into audience questions like, “How do you sleep at night?” and riffed on petroleum jelly and first tattoos—though thanks to a mishap with Aimee’s music setup, the full recording didn’t survive.

This week, Roo and Aimee dive into cults, canned fish, and cucumbers with a special guest: Roo’s cat, Philippe, who has to leave to do his taxes. The episode kicks off with Roo’s Costco salmon mix-up, leading to a deep dive into her love for tinned fish and a plan for a tin fish party, complete with a side of potential mercury poisoning. Meanwhile, Aimee is not on board and insists that cult documentaries are her true obsession. She breaks down the classic cult formula: fresh food, anti-capitalism, and then—inevitably—one guy ruining it all with weird power trips and sex stuff. (Improv, they realize, is their own little cult—minus the sex, plus tinned fish sales.)

Roo also shares her new gardening hobby, starting with garlic and cucumbers, only to discover it’s way more expensive and labor-intensive than she thought. The pair reminisce about growing up with no money, eating sandwich crusts, and Roo sneaking cocoa powder as a forbidden sweet treat.

Sprinkle in some laughs about Philippe’s black toe-beans, feet videos, accepting compliments as women, and their love for Daytona comedy, and you’ve got a perfectly cozy, unhinged episode of Pillow Fort!
