Vintage Fridays: Jim Northrup, 1975 SSPC #399

Do I ever buy just one of anything?
In this episode, beardy, fresh from happy hour beers (see: shitfaced),  rips another pack of the same stuff he opened yesterday. Will the pulls be any better? Will the audio still be terrible? Will the jokes be worse? Only one way to find out.
