Born on The Absurdists
Dreamed up by two sock lovers.
Socks Without Partners was dreamed up on The Absurdists, the weekly comedy show where Marlo Anderson and Brandi Mastrud dig into strange laws, weird facts and everyday nonsense. It came up on Season 3, Episode 2, “The Weirdest Subscriptions.” They’re both unapologetic sock lovers, and they agreed that every lonely sock deserves a second chance at love.
