SINPO 34344 s7 on peaks.
0059-Interviews and phone calls. Frequent mentions of Jerry Springer and now a young lady with herpes?
         (The syntax and talk "environment" makes me feel like it's a fairly old recording,......like maybe 80s?)
    Eh,....could be wrong,.....just heard mention of South Park.
