| 0:00.0 | There had been abuse in my family, but it was mostly musical in nature. I don't want any of this lovers lament crap I want something peppy, something up temple, I want something snappy. Halloween is just around the corner and Greg and I are feeling a bit morbid. I'm |
| 0:45.0 | feeling a bit morbid. I'm Jim Deeregatus from W. VeeZ and Columbia College. And I'm Greg Kott from the Chicago Tribune. |
| 0:48.0 | Today we play songs about getting whacked, sleeping with the fishes, and being off. |
