I'd rather be back at your house, actually.
grabs Mohawkly's arm C-come on, man! We can sneak out of here and grab some pizza and beer. Just like old times!
I don't want to go outside.

There's a song lyric at the end
quickly fast-forwards the podcast Oh, shit! That's from that one band everyone was talking about last week! Did they just drop a secret clue?
