§01How the episode opens: a rough recording setup and a sponsor read
The episode is recorded "from the Rogan compound" with Ari Shaffir and Joey Diaz as guests and Brian Redban (transcribed as both "Reichel" and "Redman") running production.

A later line about saving "10 points" is a joke and does not change the stated 15% figure.
