We offer an entertaining look at some of the big issues in history by examining public apologies of the famous and infamous. We’re looking at politicians, serial killers, actors, and you! Send us an apology you would like to make and we’ll read it on the podcast and give you the chance to redeem yourself or just get some guilt off your shoulders. We’re here for you, once a week, maybe more if you are really, really sorry.

It's an Encore episode!
Elmo and Zoe are friends. Rocco and Zoe are friends. Rocco and Elmo are not friends because Elmo cannot be friends with a rock. At least according to Elmo. Elmo had it one day in 2004 and lost his cool on Sesame Street over Zoe saving the last cookie for Rocco to eat (because rocks don't have mouths and why are we explaining this, you get it, rocks are rocks). Elmo refused to apologize and thus began the great debate: can you be friends with someone who fundamentally disagrees with you on the nature of reality. Or the bigger debate: can you hurt a rock's feelings?
This Sesame Street episode was aired in 2004 but went viral in 2022. What's up 18 years later that would make people want to share this clip millions of times over Twitter? Maybe - just maybe - millions of people have recently been through something and suddenly identify with Elmo's ranting about friends believing that reality is open to debate?
Join us as we meander down the dark twisted alleyways of memory lane: children's TV, puppeteers, and getting the chance to live your dream only to watch it crumble like a cookie in a rock's mouth.
