   My sacrum has detached from my spine. By the way, all of this sounds worse than it is. Have we said, have we told people he's in the hospital bed right now? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in a hospital bed right now. — Jorma

   So I'm podcasting from the top of the ladder. That'd certainly be better. That would be better, like Rapunzel. But anyway, so the sacrum is shattered as well, detached from my spine. I broke my L5, like whatever.

   I will just tell you, due to your earworm-type success over the years and how much I love your work, that I often, when I think about this horrible thing in my head here, Jorm fell off a ladder. Jorm fell off a ladder.… — Seth

6. Jorm falls off a ladder bit

   15:36

   The hosts riff that Seth's reference to Jorm falling off a ladder earns a comparison to Happy Gilmore 2 and a Rear Window situation, a running joke about injuries becoming material.

   Kevin does seem like a character that would have like a rear window situation.

7. We need them clicks, bro

   15:49

   Andy's push for clicks, or dem clicks, resurfaces even amid Jorm's injury news, a recurring bit where the hosts openly chase viral attention.

   We need them clicks, bro. Hey, just because Jorm's hurt doesn't mean we don't need them clicks.

   Goes back to chase clicks, Ep. 74, 18:26: The thing about me is I chase clicks.

   Because you're a goddamn hero. Hi, this is Nikayla Matthews-Oconee from Side Hustle Pro. This holiday, the difference between buyers just checking things out and checking out comes down to the last few clicks.

9. Arnold's Raw Deal clip

   25:18

   Akiva shares a short clip from the 1986 Arnold Schwarzenegger action film Raw Deal. The hosts guess the film and riff on Arnold's improvised-seeming delivery.

   It's Arnold. ... The movie is called Raw Deal.

10. Dirty Harry dog fart clip

    26:17

    Akiva finds a Dirty Harry clip featuring a dog that farts on cue. The hosts discuss how the editor likely built the gag from footage of the dog turning away from camera.

    Jeff's saying he just found a YouTube clip of the dog farting.

11. Tennis as a relationship analogy

    30:22

    Akiva compares tennis to a relationship: a back-and-forth conversation with mind games. Seth caps it with his own joke that once you score, there's no more love.

    You know what I say is tennis is like a relationship.

12. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement riff

    32:40

    Akiva suggests congratulating Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce on their engagement, and Seth jokes that Frisbee's death may have cleared cosmic room for their love to bloom.

    Frisbee's death was the reason that Taylor and Travis got engaged.

13. Firelight: Seth and Akiva's collaboration

    33:08

    Firelight was written by Seth with Akiva, one of only a few joint writing efforts between them. Seth notes it plays almost beat for beat like the actual Twilight trailer.

    This is another Seth Akiva collabo we did. There's only a few in the whole course of the thing.

14. Taylor Swift's Firelight performance

    34:18

    Seth praises Taylor Swift's Kristen Stewart impression and the makeup work across the cast. Andy is reportedly in two roles.

    Taylor Swift's really good. Her Kristen Stewart's really good.

15. Seth prefers Bunny Business to Firelight

    36:15

    Seth admits he thinks about Bunny Business constantly while barely thinking about Firelight, despite its bigger names.

    I think about bunny business all the time.

16. Horse play, not horse sense

    36:44

    The hosts realize the Bunny Business trilogy's horse entry was 'Horse Play' (horses playing baseball), not 'Horse Sense' as they first recalled.

    We chose horse play because it was horses playing baseball.

17. Taylor Swift's monologue song

    48:08

    Taylor Swift wrote a song that became the show's opening monologue with no changes, after Seth initially underestimated it.

    I just underestimated... her incredible acumen as a songwriter

    Oh, that's definitely as common as horse sense. Hit us in the titties, everybody, because I think it is. Kick us in the dickus if you think it isn't. Hit us in the titties. If you think it is. Well, all right. — Seth

19. Bunny Business written Tuesday, picked Wednesday

    56:33

    Andy explains the sketch was written Tuesday night, read Wednesday, and picked late Wednesday, which explains the limited animation budget.

    We wrote the sketch Tuesday night. It was read on Wednesday.

20. Randy Newman and Lorne's friendship

    58:21

    Andy notes Randy Newman is a friend of Lauren's and Lorne's, and the Randy Newman impression was started because Fred could nail it.

    Randy Newman is a very good friend of Lauren's.

21. Mr. Jones impression

    1:02:03

    Mr. Jones, fellow Bay Area guy, I think.

    Quaid bump

23. Quaid bump explained

    1:08:02

    The Quaid bump is the increase in viewership from being discussed on the podcast, shouted out again this episode.

    1:10:43
