After a long summer hiatus, Gene, Jordan and Jesse return with a vengeance.  The first ever appearance of "Hang It Up" (before "Keep It Up" was even a glimmer in Jesse's eye).  The XXXTreme Weatherman.  Traffic from the Foppish Dandy.  Also: a quiz bowl between Dan and the head of the UCSC Cheer Squad.

May 31st, 2001.  The school year was ending, and with it, our first few months of The Sound of Young America.  We closed with a bang -- our original radio drama, Mace Detective, Private Detective.  And more.
