Penn Jillette will be calling into Desert Bus at Noon PST on November 22nd!
Penn Jillette is an American magician/illusionist, juggler, comedian, musician, inventor, actor, and best-selling author known for his work with fellow magician Teller as half of the team Penn & Teller. More importantly (to us at least), he’s a big part of how we’re all here doing what we do. Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors for the Sega CD contains the Desert Bus mini game and without it, Desert Bus literally wouldn’t exist!

Things she’d like to do on her shift: “This year I’d like to add some mayhem and adventure to the afternoon shift. I don’t know what form this could take… competitive trivia, extreme music appreciation, discussions of PG13 fanfic. Nothing’s off the table. My definition of mayhem might not be the same as yours.”
I’m Kathleen De Vere, and I’m here to PARTY!
