Official Description

It’s a special night at Harmontown when Mayor Harmon decides the goal is to “achieve weightlessness” and establish Harmontown’s real purpose. One hour, thirty tangents, two emails from Harmon’s big brother and that goal remains unachieved, but a legendary theme park death does finally get its own theme song.

    ~ 45 minutes

  20. Jeff talks about his parents and how they used to have really swanky parties and his older brother would throw his pajamas into the party and the adults would laugh at him running naked into the party. He then noticed "Boys have weewees, girls have crackwees." Dan relates stories of him being young and entertaining the adults, thinking all adults loved him the same way.
  21. Jeff talks about his sister, Pam, who is 20 years his senior, getting married to Marty, and the first time he met him. He was 4 and he had to put a suit on - it was red, white, and blue plaid - and he was playing in his room. Jeff is called out to meet Marty, and he just kicks him in the balls immediately upon meeting him, which causes him to tip over. Jeff then ran outside and climbed a tree. He then fell from the tree and was hanging by his foot for about an hour, and Marty graciously rescues him.
  22. Dan talks about finishing the Indiana Jones tangent. He went on the ride, and it was fun. Jeff does not like the ride. Dan then talks about Disneyland, and the incidents there. Jeff was an employee at Disneyland during one of those incidents. Dan talks about the Mark Twain ride death. Also, Dan's pronunciations of "taut" and "bagel" are mocked and laughed at.
