Checked Out In Jersey

Well, another season has come to a close. This is a shorter season, as you may have noticed. That's basically the fault of the holidays coming up. We've decided that between holiday shopping, holiday parties and Pete's Christmas Ballet Recital (he's a great dancer), it would be best if we just took the rest of the year off. HOWEVER, this is no reason for you, our loyal listener, to feel despondent. I mean, after all, you come to Checked Out for an escape from the insanity of your world. And nothing is more insane than the Christmas Season. So, to help you, we will release "Checked Out's Best-Of Bits", which are shorts best-of bits taken from previous shows. We'll even throw in some "between takes" stuff.    This episode is a long one. Isn't it? Look at the time. Wow! Almost three hours. Why is that? A few reasons: 1) we were drunk, 2) Pete was rushing us and craftsmanship had to take a back seat, 3) Matt won't have the time to edit two shows, 4) Obama, 5) ISIS and 6) because that's the way we fucking did it.
