1: Low Budget Radio: 2-25-2007

"Classic" episode: our third outing on 103.7 FREE FM in San Diego saw us presenting the Low Budget Oscars. It was also the first show we ever did that got "promo'd" -- a clip from this episode was used in a commercial for the show the following week. Good times! Fun fact: our intro music has static in it. The CD players at the station were dirty. The static was around until we finally got produced imaging that was played from the computer. At this point Marc still picked the music and brought it in on CD with a track listing.
