Kalliope's Korner

At "Kalliope's Korner," I take the ordinary and sprinkle it with a generous helping of sarcasm and wit. From dissecting the absurdities of everyday life to diving deep into the world of quirky news stories, me and my guests (who are just as delightfully offbeat) explore topics that range from the hilariously trivial to the hilariously bizarre. It's like having a sarcastic best friend in your ear, guiding you through a world that's often too serious to be taken seriously.

I absolutely fucking hate the supermarket A couple of reasons. I'm in there yesterday and you know you're walking in. You get to the door, there's some people walking in and yeah, you say, oh no, god, good morning. You know it's Sunday, you're in a good mood, and they say, yeah, good morning, and they go, no problem. But then you gotta see them like 37 times while you're shopping. I gave you a hello, I'll give you a good morning and some shit, maybe a smile, if I pass you again. But then for the whole rest of the time I'm shopping I got to pass you. I run out of things to say I don't know you, I don't want to know you. I literally will go to a different aisle and change shit before I walk around seeing the same person. I also can't stand when you got that one person and they put their shopping cart in the middle of the aisle. Then they're bending over looking at the bottom shit. They're so involved in what they're doing and then they expect you to think like they don't even notice you. You're in a fucking supermarket, it's Sunday, everybody's there to get the new circular deals before everything runs out. Get the fuck out of my way, please, please.

I think the worst part is getting online. You, Please, please. I think the worst part is getting online. You're in line, you got your shit. You're like, oh, thank God, I'm almost done. Then you got that person behind you. They might even hit you in the Achilles heel with the card. That's the worst. I'll fucking kick your card. I don't even care. Swear to God, I need to hire somebody that'll go to the supermarket for me. So if anybody wants, let me.
