	Season 1 / Episode 23: - What Kind of Day Has it Been Dana Whitaker: I have seen enough to know that I have seen enough. And now I want something good to happen.

	Season 1 / Episode 21: - Ten Wickets Casey McCall: No, I know I'm alone on this. I know the vast majority of people consider Jerry Falwell a spiritual pillar of great and gentle wisdom. I know that most people consider him a scholarly and tolerant man who would never judge others harshly just because they were different. I know that most people find his calm leadership to be a gentle, soothing beacon in a time of great social chaos. His guidance, for instance, on the great purple Teletubby matter was fraught with the kind of theological sophistication that only Jerry Falwell and a cafeteria full of sixth-graders could devise. I know, I'm going way out on a limb, but I think Jerry Falwell's a fatass. Who did I just offend? I'm eager to talk to them.
