Line 68:

BC: Thank you, thank you. We’re now halfway through this special show, and, um...thank you. Thank you, um, thank you.

'''The Gambler'''

(BC as ~~he starts playing guitar riff~~: There aren’t words in the English language to say thank you more than I can say thank you. ... Buenos dias. ... Like to try out...try out a new song. Try to reach you. I know a lot of you feelin’ down right now. Lot of trouble in the world. This is a little song I wrote to try to cheer you up. Thank you, I’m known for that.)

(BC as song begins: There aren’t words in the English language to say thank you more than I can say thank you. ... Buenos dias. ... Like to try out...try out a new song. Try to reach you. I know a lot of you feelin’ down right now. Lot of trouble in the world. This is a little song I wrote to try to cheer you up. Thank you, I’m known for that.)

''(after verse 1)'' Listen to the gambler. That’s the problem with Ohio, nobody listens, nobody listens in Ohio. Lots of undecided voters not listening. Shhh....

''(after verse 1)'' Listen to the gambler. That’s the problem with Ohio, nobody listens, nobody listens in Ohio. [[w:2008_United_States_presidential_election|Lots of undecided voters]] not listening. Shhh....

''(after verse 2)'' The gambler’s got some advice for you. Try living in a warm place, start there. Try living in a state with only one “o” in the title. Try not living in a city named after a fake explorer. That’s what the gambler has to say.

''(after chorus 1)'' I hope these words are etching upon your heart like a bad tattoo. I’m guessin’ there’s some bad tattoos out there, you know what I’m talkin’ about. It’s hard to work at the post office with those full sleeves. It’s hot, you gotta wear the short-sleeved shirt, it’s the full sleeves. The gambler, no tattoos.

''(after verse 3)'' Yeah, sometimes dying in your sleep’s a better option. But then you wake up the next day after you died in your sleep and you think, “That wasn’t such a good idea.” Gambler’s got a little more to say to you right now. I want you to open up your heart and later I want you to open up your wallet, but now I want you to open up your heart. Shhhh....

''(chorus 2)'' “You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...” No no no, “know when to walk...” Go back, dammit. That’s the wrong chords. Start, start again. ''(coughs twice)'' Gimme the kick drum. You gotta wait! You gotta wait. You gotta wait, buddy, I know you’re young but you gotta wait. Come on! Feel it! Everybody’s a gambler, just like everybody’s Joe the Plumber, come on! ''(singing)'' “You’ve got to know when–” No, that’s the wrong chord! E, E, buddy, E, no, E. It’s E, E. As sure as my name is Fred, it’s E. Come on. It’s ‘cause you’re not from the Midwest. If you were from the Midwest, you’d know the right chord. (singing) “You’ve got to know when to fold em....” Thank you! “Know when to fold ‘em....”

''(chorus 2)'' “You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...” No no no, “know when to walk...” Go back, dammit. That’s the wrong chords. Start, start again. ''(coughs twice)'' Gimme the kick drum. You gotta wait! You gotta wait. You gotta wait, buddy, I know you’re young but you gotta wait. Come on! Feel it! Everybody’s a gambler, just like everybody’s [[w:Joe the Plumber|Joe the Plumber]], come on! ''(singing)'' “You’ve got to know when–” ''(speaking)'' No, that’s the wrong chord! E, E, buddy, E, no, E. It’s E, E. As sure as my name is Fred, it’s E. Come on. It’s ‘cause you’re not from the Midwest. If you were from the Midwest, you’d know the right chord. ''(singing)'' “You’ve got to know when to fold em....” Thank you! “Know when to fold ‘em....”

''(after chorus 2, going into short Lisa solo)'' Feel it! Gamble your lives away! Just throw ‘em right down the drain. Sometimes there’s no hope. Thanks to us, you have something to listen to before you die.

''(after chorus 3)'' That’s right, there’s a new tomorrow coming! And his name’s Joe Biden. We don’t need Joe the Plumber, we need Joe Biden. Because “Biden” rhymes with “fightin’,” and that’s what the gambler would want.

''(as song trails out)'' Ah, fuck it, they’re not listening anyway.

'''Lizard Blues'''

Line 100:

BC: Yeah, the lights are very bright.

Jeff: The lights. Lights.

BC: Thank you for sharing your Halloween with us. Thank you for letting us put sp...huh? Thank you for letting us put razor blades in your spiritual apples. Yes. ... So let’s go back to fun time joking. ‘Cause that went so well. Did anyone leave after we played? ''(crowd yells “no”)'' Aw, we tried to trick you. We tried to make you leave, it was a trick. Now here’s a treat.

'''As Rome Burns'''

BC: Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums. Quesadilla.

Line 111:

Jeff: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need to go have some fun. No, I didn’t say Tool, I said I need to go have some fun.

BC: I wanna get over there and see some [[w:Jackyl|Jackyl]].

Jeff: Jimmy brought his chainsaw. He’s got it.

Jeff: [[w:The_Lumberjack_(Jackyl_song)|Jimmy brought his chainsaw]]. He’s got it.

BC: Okay, let’s try a little experiment. Okay, I want everyone to close your eyes, close your eyes. Just trust me for once, please? Close your eyes. Shhh...shhh...shhhh.....shh. There we go, shhh.... Feels good to be quiet, doesn’t it? Shhhh....very good, alright.
