The hosts review a report from producer JJ Meyer regarding the excessive use of the phrase "of course" in previous episodes. Adam Curry admits to using the filler 37 times in episode 916 and discusses his efforts to eliminate the habit. They compare this to other common verbal tics like "yeah-no" and "uh" frequently heard in media broadcasts.

The hosts identify "it's so funny" as a new overused linguistic filler used to introduce topics that are often not humorous. They compare it to previous "word Nazi" targets like "amazing" and "outrageous." A suggestion is made to mock the phrase by laughing hysterically whenever someone uses it to start a sentence.

A personal observation regarding speech habits leads to a discussion about starting sentences with the word "no" and the physical mechanics of pronunciation. Reference is made to comedian Bob Newhart, whose endearing stammer influenced a relaxed attitude toward natural speech imperfections. The distinction between a stammer and a stutter is explored, with the former viewed as a unique trait for a broadcaster.
