Side Stories: Funk Files w/ George Clinton & Danny Bedrosian

April 8, 2026·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

Scientists discovered that exosomes in pig semen — the same molecules that help sperm penetrate eggs — can also deliver cancer drugs through the eye's immune barrier.

Space beauty shows up already in trouble. The panel watches Artemis 2 footage with genuine awe, then immediately starts picking at moon angles, empty deserts, and the work it takes to stay positive. Nobody stays sincere for long. The cold open feels like wonder trying to get a sentence out while the room keeps heckling it. Then Easter becomes the case file. A story about someone grabbing at an Easter Bunny costume turns into a fast fight over whether Peter Cottontail is the actual Bunny. The panel treats folklore like courtroom evidence. Song lyrics, half-remembered details, and quick corrections all get pulled into the question of seasonal rabbit identity. Peter Cottontail basically ends up on trial. When the correction lands that the 1950s version did connect him to the Easter Bunny, it somehow makes everyone more annoyed. Now the Bunny is an office. The panel starts treating the Easter Bunny like Santa Claus, arguing over whether the title matters more than the private name under the suit. The invented names get wonderfully stupid, but the conversation keeps circling the same problem: who gets to be the Bunny? Then the costume story turns meaner. The person in New Jersey keeps grabbing, poking at the face, and demanding to know whether the performer is a boy or a girl. The panel knows the image is funny, but the boundary stays clear. Do not grab the Easter Bunny costume. The ending loosens into a warm, messy sendoff, with Jumbo Shrimp Stadium, Holden McNeely, Danny Bedrosian, George Clinton, and P-Funk history all folded into talk of freeing your mind and following the groove.
