00 – Welcome to the free feed via earwolf.com! We’re thrilled to be a part of that family. Great Players Club last week with Bill Dwyer! There’s a chance you heard it anyway. (Bill’s loud). Steve Dahl also called in!

Jimmy saw Guardians of the Galaxy and found it to be fine. He’s not a superhero guy and is probably not a Sci-fi guy.  It bored the fuck out of him apparently.

Jimmy notices Eliot’s sweater vest. It’s tucked in.

I’m 19 now?  Lotta reasons why to think that.

05 – Get Down On It – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qchPLaiKocI

Kool & The Gang

Average White Band – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_White_Band

Jimmy wants a Sirius channel dedicated to Casey Kasem countdowns so he can hear those special songs in the 32 – 40 spots since they don’t play them very much.

10 – Outa-Space – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outa-Space

Matt guesses Kool and the Gang.

It’s 104 degrees outside and Eliot is wearing wool.  Core heat!

15 – Setlist for Kool and the Gang. http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/kool-and-the-gang/2012/staples-center-los-angeles-ca-5bdfcb3c.html

Lots of nice posts in the NNF Fan page (not the official page).

Everything’s done with a wink!

Cooze means nothing to Jimmy. It’s just an annoyance.

Jimmy finally got to Cedar Rapids and Penguins. Had a great show and wondered what it takes to get a standing O in that town.  Still a great show though!

Jimmy talks about the people he met.  A lot of NNF fans showed up!

Jimmy did a 6k run Saturday morning in Cedar Rapids.  It went into a quarry. So that means he had to run OUT of that quarry.  His quads were in pain later that day.

He talks about coming early like you would in los angeles. Turns out he didn’t need to come early at all. Just means that he was 30 minutes early. Not a lot of people there.  He had a great time! 34:18 time approx.

Listener Mike invited Jimmy to the run. He was that asshole that runs shirtless so Jimmy made a lot of gay run jokes that night.

20 – Another guy ran with knee length denim shorts and a tucked in shorts. He was kicking Jimmy’s ass.  The hill out was a game changer.  Some old man was yelling at his daughter or his young wife. “No rest for the wicked!” He also ran weirdly.  “On your left!”

Jimmy mentions the Talking Bread bit on Conan last week with Chris Hardwick.

25 – There was an asshole in the audience on Saturday night. Jimmy handled him well.  Jimmy just doesn’t have the interest in ripping apart hecklers anymore like he did in his 20s and 30s.

Jimmy sings…something…wants Matt to guess who.
