Topic: Kazoo

A detailed inventory of studio noisemakers is provided, including slide whistles, harmonicas, kazoos, duck calls, and electronic soundboards. The hosts demonstrate various items used for transitions and accents during the show, noting that these physical props add a "Spike Jones" element to the broadcast.

The Santa Clara City Council approved strict new laws for the new 49ers stadium, forbidding tailgating activities like throwing footballs or using kegs. The municipal code also bans "special reptiles," musical instruments (including kazoos), and "spilling" food or beer. The hosts mock the "no spilling" rule as an absurd level of behavior control.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the show from Amsterdam and Silicon Valley respectively. Dvorak describes receiving a "Thunder Tube" and a kazoo as Christmas gifts, while Curry discusses his current living situation in the "Gibbonation Lowlands" during his exile in the Netherlands.

A listener named Patrick B. submitted a mock legal brief against John C. Dvorak, labeling him "The Buzzkill." The complaint demands that the defendant cease playing the kazoo during the Gitmo Nation National Anthem to avoid distracting the "happy and distracted slaves."
