It's the Sound of Young America. I'm Jesse Thorne. Welcome to the show.

From time to time, we do live tapings from locations around the country. A couple weeks ago,

multimedia affair with plenty of performance and this podcast is going to include the performance

elements of the show that we taped. Later on in the show, you'll hear a couple of lovely songs from

singer-songwriter Don Landis. You'll also hear some stand-up comedy or, I don't know, solo comedy

performance from Michael Showalter. But first, here's a sketch that I wanted very, very badly to

include in the radio version of this program. But I couldn't because the FCC frowns on, well,

bodily functions. This is the New York City sketch comedy group Pangia 3000.

I'm sorry, that's incorrect. Ryan, the turn goes to you.
