The Spaghetti Sessions

Paula Telizyn and Sam Marden

Brain Spaghetti is a short-run, gloriously unhinged podcast where performer and writer Sam Marden (of zoolamonkey.com) and friends attempt to untangle the brain spaghetti of the Zoola Monkey universe. It begins with a chat about the cosmos, then spirals into chaotic, character-driven interviews with the strange and surreal creations that live inside Sam’s head. Confusing, funny, and messy—in the best way possible.

    The Confession of a Space Worm | The Spaghetti Sessions S3E4

    In this unprecedented episode of The Spaghetti Sessions, host Paula Telizyn sits down for an intimate, one-on-one conversation with the Zoola Monkey Universe's most notoriously chaotic entity: Rasputin the Resplendent. Known for his cold, alien intellect and subtle psychopathic tendencies, Ras strips away his cosmic defenses to deliver a profound, tear-jerking monologue dedicated entirely to one specific listener: Apple User. What follows is a breathtaking exploration of interstellar devotion. Rasputin finally bares his "floofy, wormy heart," sharing a closely guarded secret he has been waiting eons to reveal. From his chillingly beautiful philosophical musings on the infinite void to his deeply intense promises of eternal loyalty—and perhaps a mild, affectionate threat of cosmic consumption—Rasputin shares a message so vulnerable and overwhelmingly moving that it left the studio in stunned silence. Whether you are the lucky Apple User or just a curious traveler navigating the spaghetti of the Zoola Monkey Universe, you will not want to miss this rare, awe-inspiring glimpse into the soul of a space worm. ---- 🪐 WELCOME TO ZOOLA MONKEY!

    Wanking for World Peace, Secret Poetry, & Alien Parasites | The Spaghetti Sessions S3E3 (NSFW)

    In this unapologetically explicit episode of The Spaghetti Sessions, host Paula Telizyn sits down with extraterrestrial internet personalities Kooray the space cat and Teepo the space monkey to untangle the chaos of the Zoola Monkey universe. Taking a break from judging humans on their weekly "Am I the A*****e" YouTube series, the gin flows heavily and the intergalactic duo's conversation derails into wildly inappropriate and hilarious territory. In this episode, we cover: Wanking for World Peace: Kooray passionately advocates for universal masturbation and fleshlight advice to solve humanity's basic needs, much to Teepo's profound horror. Secret Alien Poetry: Teepo reluctantly discusses her hidden notebook of highbrow poetry, which contemplates the pointlessness of existence from the perspective of various galactic beings. Judging Humanity: The duo breaks down why they love roasting human entitlement on Reddit, marveling at the outrageous audacity and cognitive dissonance of our species. The Hernu Parasite: Kooray explains the gruesome mechanics of intentionally hosting an alien parasite to gain superhuman battle reflexes—a temporary augmentation that ends with the parasite's young violently bursting from the host's body unless surgically removed. Twitch Bans & Family Drama: Kooray fiercely defends herself against accusations of eating her deceased littermates, argues that Twitch swearing bans are xenophobic against space cats, and demands human kibble laced with gin. ---- 🪐 WELCOME TO ZOOLA MONKEY!

    Space Monkey Secrets, Twitch Takeovers, & Bathing Video Promises | The Spaghetti Sessions S3 E2

    Welcome back to The Spaghetti Sessions, where host Paula Telizyn untangles the latest chaos from the Zoola monkey universe! In this Season 3, Episode 2 exclusive, Paula sits down for a one-on-one with the universe's favorite space monkey, Zoola, who confidently reports they have become at least 300% more fabulous since our last chat. If you are ready for interstellar tea, Zoola is serving it. They discuss their refusal to pilot battleships, preferring the luxury of being chauffeured or using their leisure craft license. We also finally learn why Earth has such a terrible interstellar reputation: a mix of humans being volatile and the fact that Ras and Kooray sparked an intergalactic travel ban. Despite all this, Zoola admits they are perfectly happy staying on Earth for the endless phone scrolling and Greggs sausage rolls. Expect peak Zoola sass as they complain about sharing the Twitch limelight, pitch an all-encompassing "Zoola Week," and reluctantly promise an exclusive bathing video as soon as the human isn't busy. Grab a snack and settle in—this one is pure Zoola brilliance. Episode Highlights Earthly Disguises: Zoola explains why a simple hat and scarf are all they need to walk among clueless humans. Basement Drama: Zoola's annoyance over Dead Carl and Oozed's inevitable romance. Space Shenanigans: The truth behind the abandoned, cloaked spaceship orbiting Earth and Zoola's appreciation for its onboard bath and cup holders. The Big Stage: Why Zoola refuses to enter the Intergalactic Song Contest, citing their artistic gravitas. The Secret Diet: The official recipe for "Human Kibble" (jelly tots, cornflakes, and gin). ---- 🪐 WELCOME TO ZOOLA MONKEY!

    Zoola Monkey Creator Sam Marden on Ditching TikTok, Sci-Fi Tropes, & Embracing the Chaos | The Spaghetti Sessions S3 E1

    Welcome to Season 3 of The Spaghetti Sessions! In this candid season opener, host Paula Telizyn sits down with Sam Marden, the creator behind the dark comedy sci-fi universe of Zoola Monkey. If you've ever felt like a misfit alien castaway trying (and failing) to navigate human customs, this episode is exactly where you belong. Sam opens up about the evolution of the Zoola universe, the massive shift in how the community interacts, and the importance of maintaining creative authenticity in a world increasingly dominated by AI. In This Episode, We Untangle: The Twitch Migration: Marden explains why leaving TikTok's restrictive rules gave the Zoola gang the freedom to speak freely and avoid constant fear of being banned. Audience-Created Chaos: Discover how the community of "chaos gremlins" disrupts live streams by forcing Sam into hilarious side quests, such as writing on-the-spot haikus, singing, and dodging invisible seagulls. Sci-Fi on a Shoestring: Sam discusses why a bit of fabric, some glue, and painted ping-pong balls create more heart and suspension of disbelief than soulless AI ever could. Subverting Alien Tropes: Get a sneak peek into a new Patreon series that questions why sci-fi aliens are always bipedal humans, and why the gang really chose to hide out on Earth. The Misfit Community: A heartwarming look at the neurodivergent, kind, and wonderfully weird fans who financially support the project and make 2027 a reality for the Zoola universe. Losing Your "F***s": A candid chat about aging in reverse, shedding the desire to conform to societal rules, and giving yourself permission to just play. Tune in to discover what massive "reimagining" Sam is teasing for the gang's future, and join a community that celebrates unapologetically embracing the weird. ---- 🪐 WELCOME TO ZOOLA MONKEY!
