00 – Hello everyone! Wecome in to 17-3! Jimmy’s tired of the 0s, and the aughts, and were back to the 0s. 1703!
On the 405 Jimmy witnessed a car fire and explosion.
Eliot and Jimmy talk about it.
Our guest is here and waiting in the kitchen.
Jimmy still wants to know how Eliot get here sooner than him.
They talk more about the fire.
Eliot is the cooler! He’s got a talent.
05 – Someone create a tostada this tostada that t-shirt! Make it one color.
Jimmy did a string of radio interviews last week. He talks about a time he “stuck his foot in his mouth.” He said, “if this doesn’t go right you’ll find me up in a tower shooting down at people” isn’t the best phrase to use anymore.
Jimmy talks about PC people ruining comedy.
Loosen up!! Hair bun fuckwads!
Jimmy and Danielle went to see Heart at the Hollywood Bowl courtesy of ME. Jimmy sees them all the time, they’re playing bigger venues now then ever. Jimmy wonders if it’s the demographic not having new music out.
Terrific show. Terrific seats.
10 – Jimmy talks about Liv’s show. She’s phenomenal. The woman sitting next to them kept saying how good she was.
Jimmy talks about Liv vamping the last 2 minutes including taking off her shoes and dancing. Her back up singer would sing her a warning, “take your time girl, don’t wanna break something!”
Jimmy’s seen heart 6-12 times over the last 20 years. He’s seen Anne amazing to great. Never less than great though. He said this show was as closer to amazing as she’s ever been. The second best he’s ever seen them.

30 – Great show by Heart!
Jimmy and John talk the recent Rent show! John calls it Unfinished.
Jimmy wonders what song John would cut.
35 – John would cut “Today For You, Tomorrow For Me” and the intro to Angel song. Huge swabs of the encounter group, Life Support. Will I Lose My Dignity?
How do you document real life when real life feels more like fiction?
Jimmy’s gone against Into The Woods the movie.

Horseshit!
