NOTES

This show was rescheduled from a few weeks earlier after Todd was forced to cancel due to illness. Todd makes a mistake in the lyrics of the third verse of Tension and replays the entire song: "Anybody could come down here and do shit they know."

VARIATIONS

On Tension:

• "In America we like our bad guys dead. Preferably after some kind of kick ass car chase or something like that."
• "People still dig drugs. Shit. Drugs are literally bigger than Rush Limbaugh. And he's pretty big."
• "People still dig drugs. I played that Taste of Chicago thing. Shit.
• "Queer people getting married. That's what scares people that don't have anything else to be scared of these days."

• "...new book with all those pictures of Chris Gaines naked..."
• "It ain't like I went on TV and tore up a picture of the pope like Sinead O'Connor did that time."
• "They turned on their lights and said, 'Hey, man, what's that smell coming out of your car?'"
• "Now I'm stuck in this jail with my buddy Elvis Hixx."
