In-studio notes by Dan Katz

0 – Last week was a disingenuous Happy New Year. This week is a for-real Happy New Year. Lottery is more expensive. There’s a crazy guy who’s trying to make a new calendar.

5 – There is some new NNF imagery around the room. The guys talk about sweeping dried cum. 10 – Jimmy doesn’t want Dan to cancel his credit card. The guys talk about funny doctor shows.

15 – Guest Mike Siegel is back from Asia. The guys talk about Matt’s nickname: The Barber, which Matt continues to hate. Jimmy announces contest winners.

20 – 25: Jimmy keeps announcing contest winners.

30 – Eliot thought Jimmy’s Chicago shirt was a UCLA shirt. The guys talk about Mike’s trip to Asia.

35 – The guys talk about Berlin: the city and 80’s music.

45 – Mike got stuck watching Hebrew stand-up comedy super late one night.

BREAK

0 – Jimmy and Matt do weird idiosyncratic things during every record.
