Hey, everybody. We got a great one today, you know, for a change because it's a best of,

and we only repeat our very best episodes and not the drek that we put up as an excuse

for a podcast every so often. So today we have Jim Downey for my money,

the funniest S&L writer at least during the 15 seasons that I was on the show. And if you

haven't heard this one, wait, are you saying that he's funnier than you? Well, look,

it's all subjective. There were a lot of great writers during these 15 seasons.

You said that for your money, he is the funniest writer.

I did.

So he's funnier than you?

Yes.

Well, I agree.

And this is a great episode to end the year with.

Yes, it is a great one.

For a change.

Jim Downey, everybody.

The funniest S&L writer during the 15 seasons that Al worked at the show.

Yes.

I'm a happy holiday, everybody.

How many sketches do you think the two of us wrote together?

I was running some numbers, and you figure we would do 20 to 22 shows a year, a year,

and we would often have like three pieces at read through.

You sometimes had three pieces on the show.
