Description:
As the band come on stage:
- Chuck: (feedback) Woo... Sorry... I was only kidding... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Uh... We are...
- Bill: We like... alright it's cool you guys are sittin' down there it kinda reminds us of San Francisco, our home.
- Chuck: It's not my home. It's not my home! LA is my home, I hate San Francisco.
- Bill:... San Francisco, we love it. That would be grass, and you guys would all be hippies.
- Chuck: but... We're the opening band not the closing band so... May as well get used to it. It'll be over soon, don't worry.... There'll be some more videos...
- Jim: it'll never be over, ever!
- Mike: Yeah we're gonna play all night!

The Crab Song intro:
- Chuck: Dear Henrietta, there's something I think we should discuss. I came home the other night, and, I happened to see you in bed with my sister. It's not that I'm jealous or anything, but, i mean, my sister? Couldn't you have, DONE IT WITH SOMEONE ELSE??... Oh I'm just kidding, I thought it was cool, I took pictures... But now it's over. There's no turning back. Because. I found someone new, hehe. Oh you don't know her, she live on the other side of town. Six foot. 36, 34, 36. Blonde hair, blue eyes. I almost got lynched. Wait, come back! I was only kidding!

In We Care A Lot, Chuck replaces LAPD with Chicago Cubs to the list of things to care about.

After We Care A Lot:
- Chuck: ok... At least two more.
- ?: Fuck that shit hommie.
- Chuck: Fuck that shit
- Roddy: Next song's called Blood it goes like this...

After Blood:
- Chuck: I think I had a hematoma of the upper... where ah, what do you call it?.... um. That shit... of the brain the part of the mode master? Cerebellum. Sorry Mike I didn't know how to tell 'em. This joke really went over great in uh Lincoln.
