    Greetings listeners! Here I am with what was to be the only November episode. But Matt Farley struck a nerve or ten by quitting his year long no jokes project.

    Episode 13 - This time, Jesse gets mean! (NEVER SURRENDER FARLEY!)

    This is not the episode I intended to make for lucky #13. But Matt Farley drew my ire! How can someone like him surrender and give up on his goals? Let himself and all of us down? It breaks my heart! So strap up and buckle in, because today I'm gonna yell at/attempt to motivate the maestro to get back in the studio, and do what he has preached to us for so many years.  Don't worry, I wouldn't want to disappoint my listeners. It's not like I'm Matt Farley or something. The standard November episode of The Motern Media Mixtape WILL still come out, even if Matt Farley is a no good, doody-headed quitter! Here're the songs I played, because I was just too heated to mention them during my rants:  - I am Angry (I Want to Punch Somebody!) by The Very Nice Interesting Singer Man  - Matt Farley Is A Thief and a Liar and a Jerk by The Singing Animal Lover  - Grey Sleep by The Very Nice Interesting Singer Man  - Full Stop by The Finklestinks  - What We Wanna Remember by Matt Motern Manly Man  - Gotta Quit Manipulating by The Very Nice Interesting Singer Man  - Put Down Yonder Guard by Brennan McFarley  - NO WAY NO WAY by The Big Heist  - Sleison Is A Boxer (Live) by The Motern Manly Band  - They're Gonna Fall in Love with You by Caniko Tucci  - What Shall We Do with This Moment? by Brennan McFarley   Because I had to fight Farley with The Motern Method, these are the pages I read from if any of the audience at home would like to read along.  Pages 3, 7, 28-29, 43, 44-46, & 71
