It's the sound of Young America. I'm Jesse Thorn. It's a special extra short edition of the program.

When we taped our show live in San Francisco at the SF sketchfest in January, our guests included not only

Tom Amiano and Jello Biopro who I interviewed, but also a couple of performers as well.

This podcast is dedicated to them. Let's kick things off with comedian Sean Collins. Sean did some talking with the crowd

before he turned his microphone to the subject of farming.

And then they stick them in a bag and they take it to some guy and they say how much money will you give me?

Nothing? Oh, and then they go home and they weep. Then they farm again because they have no choice.

That's it. They've got a lot of land and a bunch of seeds. They're farmers. And they're lonely men. Lonely men.

And so, I wrote this song for them. And I hope, hope you enjoy it. Let me have it.

I love that. Baby, I need you. Like the boob on a plague needs a rat. And baby, I want you.

And I never want to do you no harm. But baby, you just got to understand. You can't come between me and my farm.

Baby, I love you. I want to talk to your name on my heart. Baby, I need you.

I want to talk to your name on my farm. And baby, I want you.

And I never want to do you no harm. But baby, you just got to understand. You can't come between me and my farm.

When I walk on my powerful legs and I go to the chicken coop and gather the eggs, I'm going to drive my plow.

I'm ramming into the earth. I'm going to show those chickens what a man is worth.

When the sun set in and my long day of farming is through, still out here milking.

But I'm dreaming that I'm milking you. And if it's a farmer,

and you are not this good farmer's wife, then baby, I've done jacksquat with this farmer's life.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, National Public Radio. Thank you, Jesse.

Sean Cullen has had a Comedy Central Special. He's been featured on last Comic Standing and he has his own show on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

It wasn't just comedy music at our show, though. We also had some Bay Area hip-hop. To close out the show, I turned over the microphones to Zionite.
