DON: "Since you're not using it for anything else, have you ever tried snorting the money?"
FRE: "Excuse me?"
DON: "Just see if you could try to imagine for a second using a hundred-dollar bill to get a hit off of a hundred hundred-dollar bills. Not saying I couldn't try it, mind you, but you all here seem like you could afford the charity."
GLENN: "Ha, you could even cache a bowl with actual cash! Anyone could!"
DON: "Well, yeah..."

We get to a point in our show when it’s quite obvious it’s time to stand up and we give the audience a signal.
midway through, Glenn helpfully tells people that it's a good time for a bathroom break as they've got a Tim Schmidt number coming up

wait did they laser cut a big block of money?
The counting machines at the Fed are hulking monsters that take thousands of bills at a time and auto-reject anything too worn or counterfeit to a shredder that uses lasers rather than the traditional cutting blades. The LA Fed generates 530 tons of shredded currency a year and using lasers is just plain faster.

DON: We didn't have hockey in the little corner of Texas where I grew up. But like anyone who landed in Los Angeles, I quickly became a Kings fan. It's been great to take breaks during our current tour to check up on this championship run.
GLENN: We're hoping that the Kings will let me and Don be photographed with the trophy. I'd call it, "Two Eagles, One Cup", after a viral video of which we are both very fond.
DON: Well, yeah.

In the wild: Patty Smythe-Don Henley's "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," a massive #2 hit in fall '92 and the Donster's last. All these years later (god help me) he doesn't sound terrible harmonizing over the dated-at-the-time midtempo El Lay A/C arrangement.

An amazing detail from this political story:
Ball argued that Americans had loaned out their sovereignty to public servants, but they reserve the right to take it back.“So when that governor, that sheriff, doesn’t do his job, we can go take them out of office,” he said. “We don’t have to wait for an election.”He didn’t explain how that worked, but in another video posted online, Ball argues that individuals can escape police questioning by insisting officers fill out a form.As the Eagles’ 1979 Al Green pastiche, “I Can’t Tell You Why,” plays in the background, Ball explains that sovereign citizens can hold public officials accountable for violating their oath with the Public Servant Questionnaire.Ball claims the document, which asks for identifying information and explanations of the officers’ intentions, must be filled out by public servants before they question citizens.

A long time ago, I bought a cassette of the Greatest Hits of Bachman Turner Overdrive and Grand Funk Railroad, each with their own side of the tape.
But I assumed that A.) such a format wouldn't exactly work on a CD and B.) Styx and Foreigner have more than enough tunes (and fans) to qualify for their own GH package.
