00 – Hello! 1501! Welcome to the new season! Seasons change! (Expose and Clouds) Jimmy gives his thoughts on NNF seasons. Jimmy’s talking about the other guy. He’s stressed out from the drive in.

Jimmy wonders about apple states because people were lollygagging on the roads today.

Ghostrider on the storm! Jimmy slaps the bass!

We had some rain this weekend. It didn’t last long. Matt didn’t get wet it was too light of a rain.

Jimmy asks about openings at Eliot’s building. 8/15 availability. New stove, laminate, full kitchen full bath. Over $1150. Jimmy calls it a little steep.

Cooz in the carpool lane! Jimmy calls cooz a fun word. He and mat talk bob coozie.

Jimmy and Matt talk drives and streets.

05 – Jimmy appreciates the 45 minute recap on how he didn’t text Jimmy about the traffic issues.

Matt: Darryl Asher is probably making a “Cooze in the Carpool Lane” graphic, and he got back in the saddle to do notes episode 302

Check out NeverNotNotes.com! (You’re already here)

Andy Daly is one of the funniest men on the planet, if not Los Angeles.

Jimmy hasn’t visited NeverNotNotes.com in a long time (shameful) and has started to avoid Pardcast.com. It’s getting too negative over there for him. He’s expecting nice conversations but it’s getting to be a “take down the king” situation. Jimmy’s comments will either make it better or make it worse.

10 – Jimmy suggests commenting up your sleeve.

Most overrated/underrated band Big Star comment gets jimmy tons of comments/emails. He has NEVER said he doesn’t like them.

Romeo and Juliard is an album from Don Dixon. Here is the video for Praying Mantis – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxGB12mbFSg

Jimmy is not against Alex Chilton assholes! Jimmy just likes the phrase the most overrated/underrated band of all time.

Jimmy thinks the song “Thirteen” is flawless and might be in his top 25 of all time.

15 – Thanks everyone for reupping for season 15!! Maria Bamford is here today!

If someone hasn’t been on the show yet, it’s either scheduling or Jimmy doesn’t want them. Figure it out! We don’t need your input. We’ve also tried and haven’t been able to get people! There are a lot of situations that come up. IE Dennis Miller (allegedly) not wanting to do it.

Eliot has a question. Jimmy will open the floor in ten seconds. Floor open! Eliot has a comment about Jimmy talking politics.

Jimmy talks about talking politics with Andrew.

Eliot drops some news that he and Andrew tried to do a podcast about politics! It was never released.

20 – the podcast was VIDEO! No name for that podcast yet though. Jimmy gives his thoughts on it. Jimmy says he would have listened to it and possibly even slap the NNF label on that.

We briefly talk HAIR at the Bowl. Jimmy considered going but had sleeping problems in Minneapolis.

Paul McCartney was there while he was, did not effect Jimmy’s shows. Great shows, sold out. Lots of improvisation.

25 – He was an asshole yesterday. Unpleasant and not even for humor. He thought the last thing Danielle would have wanted was to spend any time alone with him.

I have a case on my mac now and the PCB sign I made is taped to the case.

70 – The panel talks $4,000 chairs.
Lumbar support? – Matt

Maria wants to open stores to shock people like a Korean Massage Parlor on the outside but when you go in it’s a book store.

Rubenstein! A tough but fair tax guy.

Paula and Jimmy are angry people! If Paula is angry Jimmy is angry! What world do you live in that you think Paula and Jimmy are similar?

This show is longer than Nicholas nickleby – Paula Poundstone

Jimmy doesn’t get the tweet at all. He’s gonna take it as a compliment.

Jimmy Pardo on the outside, Eliot on the inside.

True or False: In the car, Jimmy was singing Shout it Out Loud with Oliver and Jimmy was singing it by shaking. Oliver says, “I don’t like that character at all.” – TRUE

110 – Maria asks for some relationship advice from Jimmy now that she has moved in with her boyfriend. Jimmy says the first six months might be rough but don’t let it break you up. Hang in!

Maria says it’s going well so far and they already have a therapist.

Jimmy says just remember you are two different personalities.

Also lock the purse, maybe get a safe, or handcuff the purse to your wrist blues brothers style.

Maria wants to bring up the same thing over and over again. Will that help?

Jimmy doesn’t think that is a good idea.

Jimmy uses that guilt/anxiety quote again.

15 – Pickle really likes Maria’s dogs!

Jimmy plugs Maria, and she rails off her upcoming cities. Not Vegas though.

We’re done.

My pleasure,

Garon/The Beast/Mush Mouth Shy Guy/The Notekeeper
