INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
The PRODUCER sits at his desk, watching youtube videos of fireworks displays. DJ 3000 remains in his usual location, muttering to himself.
PRODUCER: Hey man, sorry that we couldn’t find anything that worked to get those stickers off.
DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.
PRODUCER: They’re repainting the Jimmy & The Animal studio next week, we’ll check with the painters and see if they have any tips.
DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.
PRODUCER: Or maybe just some extra paint we can slap on top of it.
DJ 3000: GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.
PRODUCER: Man with an attitude like that you could be coaching the Patriots…or, uh, retired, I guess.
Several of the lights on DJ 3000’s console flash and the fireworks video that the PRODUCER is looking at is supplanted by…
PRODUCER: WHAT??? No fucking way!
DJ 3000: I KNOW, RIGHT?
A different light on DJ 3000’s console begins flashing.
DJ 3000: LOOKS LIKE WE’VE GOT AN INCOMING CALL, YOU WANT TO TAKE IT?
PRODUCER: Sure, why not.

YEAH RIGHT: Hey guys!
PRODUCER: Oh, hey! Good to see you, how’s it hanging?
YEAH RIGHT: Great, I…[peers through the screen]…hey, DJ 3000, you look different.
DJ 3000: THE STICKERS? YEAH, GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.
YEAH RIGHT: No, well, I mean, yeah, but there’s something else…[squints]
The video component of the call suddenly cuts off.
DJ 3000: OH, JEEZ, SORRY ABOUT THAT. TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
YEAH RIGHT: Can you guys still hear me?
PRODUCER: Yeah, we can hear you.
YEAH RIGHT: I was walking along the coast this morning listening to a podcast about how Britain tossed out their government on the same day that we tossed out their government and was thinking we could do “Good Riddance” as a topic.
DJ 3000: VERY COOL.
PRODUCER: Yeah, I like it. Got something to get us rolling with?
YEAH RIGHT: Absolutely. One of the granddaddies of them all.
Today’s theme is “Good Riddance”. We’re looking for songs about telling people to GO AWAY. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?80!n6o0D and they should embed in the comments after you refresh. Last week’s puzzle answer of “Don’t Stop” by The Stone Roses was solved by SonOfSpam. Special thanks to Yeah Right for the suggestion of this week’s topic!
Having my annual Pimm’s Cup, because it’s summer and Wimbledon was one, so why the hell not?
VD is a dealbreaker

I can’t participate today- my brain is fried. I am a crispy critter!
Ew. 122 is more than it should be, except maybe on Venus.
I felt like I was going to puke when I got out of the car.
Needless to say, NAWT good for you.

Canadian feed showing Portugal highlights which are basically crossing passes towards the opposing net that were easily cleared.
Can it be good riddance to, say, a Prime Minister? That was buddies with Reagan?

Aw. If France was going to go through, I wanted it to at least be at Ronaldo’s expense.
Look at you France!
/The general manager overlooking the dozens of people that manage Ronaldo’s daily hair care regimen weeps…

I wonder how Marine le Pen feels about the, shall we say, ‘Moorish’ element of the national team that is getting shit done right about now.
Her expression right now (artist’s conception):
Also, how the African countries where they’re from feel about them not playing for their teams!
