1. Norm Macdonald Tribute with the Sklars

starts at 1:00

Randy and Jason Sklar come on to remember the humor of Norm Macdonald, whose humor inspired them and the humor of this blog. Here’s the Moth Joke:

2. NIU Offensive Preview

starts at 27:01

They’re a racecar with Rocky Lombardi under center. Tempo and a speedy running back, and they’ll take their shots downfield. Alex doesn’t hate any of their linemen.

3. NIU Defensive Preview

starts at 37:31

They’re bad—Seth says the program was torn apart by coaching changes and defections. Worst one was their DT whom they donated to Indiana.

4. Washington after UFR

starts at 48:16

Other than John Donovan, how seriously do we take the dual pavings? Semi-seriously.

MUSIC:

Tonight’s featured musician is Maxwell Thomas, a Chicago-based, eccentric yacht rocker who produces alt rock inspired by JRPGs.

  • Ghost
  • Rising Sun
  • Traveler’s Theme

And because Sony bought our song and slapped a claim on us, the opener and outro:

  • “Funk It Up Old School”
  • “Russian Vodka”—Motorboat

If you or a friend made some good tunes and don't have a label out scrubbing for them we'd be happy to feature you.

THE USUAL LINKS:

The only voice you could tell a Norm joke in was Norm’s.

If you haven't listened yet, do yourself a favor and go listen to the Conan podcast yesterday about Norm. It was great. They covered all aspects of the legend.

They put a claim on it. The version we were using was recorded in Detroit and was in the free library of CBS when it was chosen for the show. They made their claim by purchasing the label that put out the single version of Across 110th Street. YouTube is illegally assisting them in automated fraudulent claims against creators. It's a huge problem with YouTube and the reason a lot of YouTubers are looking for a new platform.
