The conversation devolves into a debate about medical anesthesia and racial stereotypes before concluding with their ideal final tweets.
Those with weak hearts or neurological conditions should steer clear of Johnny Nightmare's Halloween Hite. All others should prepare to be terrified into insanity. (Marc's note: I haven't actually gotten to listen to this yet as I'm uploading it from the road. John assures me it's one of the most sickeningly frightening audio excursions you'll ever have the misfortune of embarking on. Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!)
Marc and Tod discuss an NFL Players Association strike, as well as handling some news. (A fan dug up this tape of our old DC101 show, and we thought it'd be fun to air it.)
In the absence of Tod Perry, Marc Chambers and Mike Cioffi introduce the 'Toddbot,' a robotic replacement created by the show's R&D team.

The hosts discuss the possibility of pursuing stand-up comedy, debating their potential styles and the nature of comedic personas. The conversation devolves into an elaborate, surreal improvised bit about a fictional character called 'King Dong' and the misery of long-term fame.
