NNF 1421 – Sinbad
@sinbadbad

00 – Hello and welcome! 1421! Winding down season 14! Don’t worry about timing we will let you know when it’ll be time to ante up for season 14!

25 episodes due to faculty days.

Our guest is the legendary comedian SINBAD!! He’s tall and wears a colorful pant!

Some bob and tom fans aren’t smart and email Jimmy that he is short. He wants those hillbillies to get back in their waterbed and drink moonshine until they die.

Jimmy and Matt revisit the above ground pool subject. Apparently, Matt and Elise have discussed the option.

05 – My mom was in town. We stayed at a Loews hotel. The room was filthy. We also went to the Ed Sheeran show. It was great!

10 – History of above ground pools – http://www.poolspanews.com/alternative-materials/the-history-of-aboveground-pools–playing-for-keeps.aspx

Eliot looks exhausted apparently.

The guys returned from Austin. Jimmy did comedy and they did NNF Live for a great crowd of 100 solid NNF fans! Lots of people drove in. They got to meet everyone including a couple of native American ladies that became friends over their love of the show.

They had some misty-eyed fans show up to meet them. It was amazing according to Matt.

15 – They also met some new fans who found us earwolf!

We got another stupid response at Pardcast/NeverNotFunny.com

Jimmy talks about the first roadtrip he and pat took together and picking classic rock station and seeing who’s picked song comes up first. Pat picked Don’t Fear The Reaper and it came on within 3 songs.

Matt drops Dude on Jimmy. Jimmy tells him not to drop dude on him.

“Dad you’re calling me dude too much.” – Oliver

Jimmy recommends Matt not calling Charlie little man.

20 – Turbulence and delays caused the guys to get back to LA later than expected. He also would not stop updating them on the turbulence.

“I don’t complain about travel but this is bullshit.” – Jimmy, defeated after the trip.

They also had to bus from lax to some ancient terminal both ways.

Pat Francis did the best acting Jimmy’s seen.

Jimmy blurt laughed at Renee’s caption “two assholes in steerage.”

Pat came up to Jimmy and performed his act.

I’ll be back!

30 – Quick break! Sinbad’s here!

We’re back!

We’re gonna give away the Todd Glass book.

Jimmy saw Les Mis and loved it. I’m mad I missed it. Sinbad not a fan. If it had a vampire it’d be a different story.
