| 0:00.0 | Bullseye with Jesse Thorne is a production of Maximum Fun.org and is distributed by NPR. |
| 0:26.5 | It's Bullseye. I'm Jesse Thorne. All this month, we've been celebrating the 25th anniversary of Bullseye, meaning I have been doing this show since I was in college at KZSC in Santa Cruz, California, |
| 0:33.2 | the heavyweight 88. How have we celebrated this auspicious milestone? Well, we reached deep into the |
| 0:39.3 | archives to find some of the oldest recordings we could find, even if they made me sound, |
| 0:44.8 | I mean, you know, like a dufus who was in college. We traveled the country. We brought live |
| 0:50.3 | shows to Los Angeles, New York City, and Santa Cruz. And one night in October, I invited |

| 1:42.2 | in the studio that we used. |
| 1:44.9 | You will hear from Rob Cordry, Lisa Loeb, Elvis Mitchell, Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswald, and many more. |
| 1:51.2 | Okay, we don't have a lot of time. |
| 1:52.7 | Let's get to the booth. |
| 1:54.8 | My first guest is one of the first people who ever worked on Bullseye. |
| 2:00.9 | In fact, he's been working on Bullseye since the second week that it aired, |
