The other Presidents Of The USA song is Peaches.
Los Angeles is Burning is by Bad Religion
05 – Welcome into the Players Club! Matt doesn’t tell enough stories. Jimmy brings up posting kid quotes and talking about it. It’s a bummer when they get old enough where it’s not really quotable anymore.
“Who are they versing?” Zoe on the way to the Dodger game.
Now we’re at too many Matt stories.

Wendy sent some old charts from a local radio station WLS. They’re not chronological.
#1 album of week ending 5/22 in 1982.

Week ending 1/16/82.

Jimmy’s beef: Eliot on-mic, of course
35 – #1 song – Centerfold! Laurie Kilmartin guesses it! Matt guesses the band correctly! Foreigner! Foreigner 4! Jimmy keeping his eyes on the paper to keep from lighting Matt and Laurie on fire for their comments.
Jimmy is there in a heartbeat for game night. He wants to be invited though, not the host.

Eliot’s word is Cat. Like the cat man. Panel talks muslim presidents and cat stevens.
50 – Matt’s C word is: Cactus as in Dude, you are a fucking cactus.
Laurie’s C word is Cantankerous. Matt gives Laurie a chance to pick a B. She goes Booze. It was bananas. She tries A: America. Jimmy respects that answer but it was applebox.

Jimmy and Laurie talk about knowing hecklers pretty much immediately.
It now bores Jimmy to deal with hecklers. In the old days he used to love it.
Laurie talks about a recent heckler she had. Some old 78 year-old guy. She had them throw him out. She tells another story about a heckler in Providence. He had a bald head tattooed dark blue to the point it looked like black hair. He made obscene gestures at her through the show. They wouldn’t get rid of him and he stayed for the second show. She made them move him. He ended up getting kicked out for being rude to a pregnant waitress.
It’s bad that the clubs placate the drunks just because they’re drinking.

Danielle wonders why Jimmy announces his age.
85 – Last Comic Standing chat. They talk difficulty in judging comics. Laurie asks how many comics are terrible at first and end up being hilarious years later.

90 – Jimmy tells a story about doing a show in a mall that just had a shooting. Guy Torrey was there killing with his set.
Jimmy thinks Last Comic Standing should have judges like American idol. One comedian and a couple industry people (casting agent, etc.). They talk about America’s Got Talent.

95 – Maybe Caeser? Jimmy means Roddy McDowell Caeser when he says that.
Phil Hendrie refers to Canada as America’s hat.
Jimmy tells a story about standing outside the Conan studio with Laurie. She was laughing and Conan walked by and said her laugh brings him joy. He the got angry when he found out that Jimmy made her laugh. But was back in when he found out Jimmy was quoting him.

Jimmy and Laurie talk Swannies.
110 – Great audiences at Swannies.
Jimmy mentions watching a Queen concert and there was a part where Freddie Mercury was only wearing white shirts.
Queen: When asked about the name, Bulsara explained, “I thought up the name Queen. It’s just a name, but it’s very regal obviously, and it sounds splendid. It’s a strong name, very universal and immediate. It had a lot of visual potential and was open to all sorts of interpretations. I was certainly aware of gay connotations, but that was just one facet of it.
Jimmy talks about losers on American Idol or other shows being more successful than the winners (in some cases).
Jimmy’s gonna go to all four of Lauries show with a shaven head and do obscene things with his tongue.
We’re done!
Jimmy wraps it up with some Don Pardo.
The door is closed.
My pleasure,
Garon/The Beast/Mush Mouth Shy Guy/The Notekeeper
