Jeremy is the Audience

"We got some bangers off of Big Bear."
"We were like no we're a podcast it's audio only."
Kylie's 5/4 Time Signature Curse
Angela introduces a clip from the LMFAO Jukebox Musical, noting it was filmed before the group realized Kylie Brakeman exclusively sings in the 5/4 time signature.
"It's before we realized that Kylie only sings in 5/4."
"I don't think I knew this about myself, but you guys pointed it out."
The Deep Cut Favorite

The Impossible Jersey Mike's Assignment
Jeremy recalls giving Lauren Lopez the 'impossible' task of parodying Regina Spektor's 'Samson' with lyrics about Jersey Mike's sandwiches, which she executed perfectly.

"She did something on this episode that made us all go, 'Wow, we are not as talented as we think.'"
The Final Sign-Off and Legal Disclaimer
The show concludes with a standard legal disclaimer that hilariously clarifies the performers are not responsible for their own improvised opinions because they are 'stupid.'
"The opinions expressed on this podcast do not reflect the opinions of anyone who works on it, not even the performers, because this is an improvised podcast and we're stupid"
