Transcript
MERRICK: Turns out my habit is Joe coming over to my desk and saying, [singing] “Da-na-na-na, jabber time!”

[Laughter]

AJ: Nice.

REG: That behavior is always acceptable if you are dressed for the part.

[Laughter]

CHUCK: Since this is pure audio, you don’t even have to be dressed.

JOE: I have a pair of parachute pants.

MERRICK: I actually record most of this show while I'm in the bathtub.
