How many hot dogs do you eat in a day, Tim? I'd rather not answer that. Thank you, though. Did you eat hot dogs today? Not exactly. And why are you bringing this up? Well, you have mustard on your shirt, and frankly, your burps reek of hot dogs.

I had a hot dog bowl earlier today. Yes, I did.

And what is a hot dog bowl?

It's like a burrito bowl, but it's chopped up hot dogs in a big old bread bowl.

So like a much larger, less healthy hot dog?

Can I go? I'm starving. T-B-T-L

Well, there's that fine line between, you know, showing emotion and being a hot dog.

Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is? It's Friday. Friday. Gotta get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend.

Isn't that for techno geeks with spreadsheets? A lot of times what we like to tell people is that you have to let life bounce off of you. Right. Yep. And so we are going to do just that literally in the literal sense.

Sup guys for the new rap CD.

Ah!

Ah!

Oh, it feels good to laugh.

All right. Hello. Good morning and welcome everyone to a Friday edition of TBTL. Hey, where's the freaking gabagoo? The show that just might be too beautiful to live. My name's Luke Burbank. I am your host. Coming to you from the Nest Broadcast Center, high in the sky, above Portland, Oregon, where, my goodness gracious, it is actually... Like, I think I've been wanting it to be warmer than it was this week. It's been sunny. It's been beautiful.

I feel warm, and I'm levitating.

But, like, you know, it wasn't actually, like, shorts weather. And today and tomorrow and the next couple days are going to literally be in the 80s. So it will be quite a beautiful scene around here. And we've got quite a beautiful show for you. It's episode 3,403 in a collector's series. Let the fun begin. A story that the more I read about it, the more fascinated I became with what is being called the whitest paint ever invented. White boy funk. It's all white boy hippie funk. So there's that. There's the science behind inventing the whitest paint of all time. And then there's also the environmental implications of, like, why that could be a good thing for planet Earth. but then there's also the story of the blackest paint ever invented which is where things get really interesting so we'll talk about that also it's this video that is going around i can't quite believe that it's real and yet i can't quite figure out how it might have been faked a bobcat attacked a family getting into their car in the morning look at this cat terrific stuff by the cat i mean there are so many elements as the person who posted this 46 second video on i think it was twitter yesterday said this is a lot happening in 46 seconds we will play you the tape coming up and then speaking of the tape tbtl drops of stupider a day ocho we will continue to try to figure out the greatest moment the most memorable moment in tbtl history

Memories are made in your mouth.

TBTL drops of Stupider, the deuce rolls on. Plus, it's a Friday, so we've got some music for your weekend. And we've got this guy, formerly known as the Ginger Assassin, now known as the longest-running co-bro of the show. He is Andrew Walsh, and he's joining me right now from the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Good morning, my friend.

Now I'm the balding b-sassin, which isn't as cool, I guess, as the ginger assassin.

I'm a sucker for doing alliteration that doesn't work.

Wait, what do you mean doesn't work? I think bassassin might be my new favorite word. At the very last second, I was like, is it a badminton joke? I just went with bassassin. I couldn't figure it out on the fly. Good morning, Luke.

Did you build your beef castle this morning? Did you get out for your early morning jaunt? No, not with later dialogue. Oh, sure, sure, yeah, right. Yesterday was a 10 a.m.

Yeah, exactly. But no, but I did, thanks to my grumpy, hungry old cat, Theo, I did wake up a little bit earlier than usual so I could be a little bit more awake for the show today, which is good. More awake than I would say on average, although this has been a good week for wakefulness for me, so I'm feeling good about that. And I think I'm a little charged up by the weather.

I mean, it was straight up. It was like 70 here yesterday, my friend. I took a couple of walks, actually.

I went to bed pretty early last night. I have also been working on my wakefulness. And I went to bed early. I think I went to bed at like 9.30 or something. Whoa. I felt tired. And I thought, why fight it? Yep. And I was watching. A couple of things happened. I was watching some television. I believe I was watching Intervention, and I was kind of losing interest in it, and I also had gotten, I had like a half-opened bottle of wine, and I was like, well, maybe I'll have a little glass of wine as I unwind, and then I was like, I'm not even in the mood for it, like, why would, I don't, like, why am I going to throw some wine on the situation when I, it literally doesn't even sound good to me, and then I was watching Intervention, I was like, I'm not even interested in this right now, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, And so I did. And then I woke up at like, I mean, maybe a little before six, no alarm, just totally rested, just feeling. I mean, because I got like at that point, we're looking at north of eight hours of sleep. It's what any human would need. And I was furious. I was like, dang it. Why am I awake at five fifty? It was like, well, because you went to bed at nine thirty.

Wait, I thought you were going to be glad of that, because I always think of you as an early riser and that you like to like go on your jogs and stuff.

before the show well i did get a jog in before the show today but like i don't you know i'm not out there at 6 30 generally speaking um uh i i not but i can't explain it either i don't understand why that frustrated me when that's the i mean literally that might be the best that might be the best night of sleep slash just kind of peaceful wake up that i get all year like that's the dream The alternative, every possible, every other in the multiverse of things I did last night and how I felt this morning, every other possibility is worse. There's went to bed too late and are very tired in the morning. There's drank too much and are hungover and tired. There's couldn't sleep and are tired. There's hitting snooze 25 times and then feeling super frantic. There are all those other ones. one of them is the only one is you wake up you're hearing peer gint there are a couple of cartoon bluebirds flying around outside the window as the sun gently comes streaming in and your body naturally says let's get up that's what happened to me this morning and my thought was god damn it

i know what you're talking about if you woke up a little bit earlier than you wanted to in this case i was just surprised because i thought that that would have been

like kind of just it was like it's like 10 minutes before my alarm goes off that's what makes it that's what makes it extra silly oh like there was just no reason for me i was the perfect outcome and for some reason it didn't feel it didn't feel right to me because for me my i don't

know if it's fair to call it a worry but sometimes when i'm in the mood to go to bed early i worry that i'm gonna wake up not like 10 minutes before my usual time or even an hour before my usual time But the worst scenario for me is I wake up like four hours before my usual wake up time and then can't get back to sleep. You know what I mean? I'm talking about that 3 a.m. or 2.30 or 3.30, you know, somewhere in that area. And you wake up and you, you know, you have to use the restroom or whatever. And then that's it. You're like, I can't fall asleep again. So you start playing the movie game in your head.

And remind me how the movie game works again.

You choose some sort of a category, and then you try to find a movie that starts with every letter of the alphabet that fits that. So the one that I keep playing over and over and over again is movies that only have one word, and so you start with the letter A. So A could be anaconda. This is one I've been playing in my head a lot, so it's kind of a good groove. But, you know, Beetlejuice.

Okay, so you've got anaconda. Oh, you've got to go alphabetically?

Yeah, that's the thing, A, B, C, D, which gets rough when you get into the Xs. I'm not going to lie

So in other words for this to work There has to be A movie that's one word starts with A And has X as the second letter No no no I'm just saying once you get to X

You just start with A So one word so A could be

Adaptation

Oh wait

Oh okay I got this I thought we had to listen to Or list as many A movies as we could

You could do that too Whatever puts you to sleep buddy Whatever puts the listeners to sleep

I think is the important thing

The one word one, that's just what I've been playing in my head lately To put myself to sleep But you could also say, movies about animals Start with A Now I don't have an answer for that one

Let's just try the standard One word movie title Starting with A and see how far we get You said Anaconda, then you said Beetlejuice

I'll jump in with C. Crash. Oh, nice. That's one I don't think of much.

And, you know, sometimes we have to crash into each other just to feel anything.

Aren't there two movies called Crash? I don't think I've seen them both. But am I right about that? Are there two different movies?

I think there is something. Yeah, I think there's the Cronenberg one that I, like, for some reason just deeply hate. And I've never even seen it. It just looks so bad to me. It just looks like shitty freshman playwriting that they put Matt Dillon in.

and like and called it artsy yeah and it's like artsy and edgy i don't think i saw that one either but i thought there was an earlier one too that i did i think you're right though i think there are

two uh two of those but okay so we're at c now uh no you did c so now it's d and now we're at d

now yeah and it's weird because this is where i do get hung up and i play this game every night but um uh i always want to say the doors but you can't articles count never figured you for the doors man didn't you though um help me with this too we don't necessarily go back and forth because

the listeners love this can you just imagine imagine i'm the one that did this to us by the way i wanted to be very clear where the response diner where the responsibility lies and it lies with me just cars driving off the road all over america people screaming out movies that start

with the letter q i got god damn it okay hold on i got diner so okay e e uh i have one in my head

okay go for it that's fine eraser head eraser head ah okay lynchian uh abcdef do you know that i have to say the alphabet to know what letter comes after e that's pretty sad fargo nice g gremlins abcdefgh hellboy oh i never even thought of that one this is fun Sucker for a Ron Perlman fic.

Usually this puts me to sleep, but now I'm getting energized. Oh, no. It means you're addicted, right? When you're addicted to a drug, the effects start to change. So you did Hellboy, which is I now. Oh, Interstellar.

Oh, good one. So am I at J now? Yeah. J. J, J, J.

Yeah, I'm blanking, too. Oh, Juno. That's so good.

That's one doodle that can't be undid, home skillet.

Is that a line from Juno?

I believe Rainn Wilson might deliver that line about the pregnancy.

We need to get that drop. That is really good.

I think it's gettable. Did I tell you about – I know that I did. No, no, no. Let's keep going. But now what I'm doing here, Andrews, I'm padding it out. I don't know why, but we're using it as a spine along which we're hanging a number of interesting anecdotes that I've already told on the show. But in doing that Alanis Morissette musical story, I got to hang out with Diablo Cody, who wrote that line, and who wrote that film, Juno, and a number of other films. And I just can't even tell you what an amazingly lovely human being Diablo Cody is. And I did not expect that, honestly, because Diablo Cody's public image is kind of like edgy, you know, edgy stripper turned screenwriter. And that's one doodle that can't be undone. That's one one. Whatever the line is like, I just kind of thought that she was going to be somehow a little bit like, I guess, edgy. And she could not have been more like it was a real stepbrother. Did we just become best friends moment? and actually got her number or her email to say, like, hey, would you be on my podcast? And she was like, totally. So we should have her on.

We should. I found something called Doodle That Can't Be Undid. But it's a two-minute clip, and I'm looking to see.

This is how we really augment our little memory exercise with real content.

Yes. Now, this is two minutes, so I'm going to fast-forward a little bit into this. I'm also going to just roll on this, because why not? Sure.

Yeah, let's work smarter, not harder. Is it Rainn Wilson? I will be unsurprised to find that it's not even the person I thought it was. I know Rainn Wilson's in that film. It is Rainn Wilson.

He's behind the counter of a quickie mark. Okay, good.

Silencio, old man. Look, I just drank my weight in Sunny D, and I gotta go pronto.

Well, you know where the lavatory is. Gives her the key. You pay for that pee stick when you're done. Don't think it's yours just because you marked it with your urine.

Okay, she's now going into the restroom to take her pregnancy test. I'm going to fast forward through this. She's back at the counter.

I don't know. It's not seasoned yet. Take some of these.

She's buying some candy. She's waiting for her test.

Now, there it is. That little pink plus sign is so unholy.

That ain't no Etch-a-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be undid, Holmes Gillett. There you go.

I cannot believe that I'm about to say this because it only ends in emails saying, why did you have to go there? But it is an interesting thing to me that at that time, the the actress Ellen Page, who's the whole premise of the film is that, you know, she becomes pregnant, et cetera, et cetera. Ellen Page is Elliot Page now.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah.

Right. I mean, that's just an interesting turnabout, I guess. It's just you kind of never know, and I don't know what Elliot's... I don't know enough about Elliot Page's journey and what his experience was at that time in his body, you know what I mean? Like, playing Juno in this film, but it's just kind of an interesting dynamic to the whole thing.

And do we know what Elliot's up to, by any chance?

I know Elliot was on the cover of Time Magazine recently.

Interesting.

I believe. So, he seems to be doing fine. Actually, he was in a he was in another film fairly recently, if I but I can't remember what the film was. That also is an interesting thing to be a trans person, but then to have your life so publicly documented in the different, I guess, you know, ways that you presented in your life, if I'm saying that correctly. So for Elliot Page, there's just a large body of work that's that's Elliot Page in a, you know, presenting in a different gender.

Which is not the typical I do. I mean, that's a very public thing. But I wonder if it also is similar. And I don't again, why? Why am I speculating or raising these questions about something that I don't have any at all any personal experience with? But like, I wonder if just like the age of, you know, documentation and, you know, digital documentation and Instagram and selfies and everything. So even if you're not a famous person, you still have a slightly more public kind of documentation of of your life, you know?

Sure Kinsey What's that? Kinsey Is that the film? That's a K movie Yeah Or California If you please I thought that was the movie Elliot Page was in Kinsey Okay H-I-J-K-L L I feel like an L Should be relatively easy He says just to stall There's gotta be a movie Called Lucky

You're doing What I Is that not fair Is that cheating? It's like well There's gotta be one It's like playing a crossword puzzle. Or not a crossword puzzle, but like Scrabble, right? Sure. Yeah.

You know. Yeah, lucky. It was a Harry Dean Stanton vehicle. It came out in 2017.

Okay, I guess we'll take it. Although, if you didn't know, so we're on to M now. L-M. Mission. Impossible. That doesn't count. This is usually where I fall asleep. somewhere between L and I'm going to say O. I don't know if I've ever made it to O, as a matter of fact. Although I'm ready for X, because I think Xanadu's a movie, right? Yeah, it is. I'm so nervous about getting to X. I'm so nervous about getting to X that I was thinking for months now, I've been thinking ahead to getting to Xanadu.

This is like me and my brother David would sometimes do these little games When he was younger where he'd be like We're going to throw the football back and forth And we have to catch it 20 times in a row And it's like when you get to about 14 You start to kind of tense up Even though it's just in my parents' backyard There are zero consequences

Moneyball It was just on in the house last night That's one word right Moneyball If you say it like that Moneyball

Wait we have to do N though Oh, L-M-N, L-M-N-O, see? Okay, N. And how about Night Stalker?

Oh, is that one word? Or Nightcrawler. How about Nightcrawler? That's one word, yeah.

Jake Gyllenhaal film, Nightcrawler.

Let me just make sure it's one word. Yes, it is, 2014. I never saw that. It's such an L.A. film. It came out when I was living in L.A.

You know I have a theory that I was partially responsible for that film.

No, but I'm not surprised.

Wait a minute.

No, wait just a darn minute.

What?

Okay, after you. I have a legitimate claim. After you bought the bowling alley.

I have a legitimate claim on at least thinking that's a possibility because let me tell you, okay? I did a story years and years ago when I lived in LA. I did a radio story about the kind of like disaster paparazzi. I spent like weeks In the middle of the night Just riding around with these dudes That go and like film fires And scenes of mayhem And whatever Because the local news channels Don't have like They're not staffed 24 hours a day They're not going to send a camera person Out to wherever So there's this kind of like these nightcrawlers. There are these guys that hang out in, like, Carl's Jr. parking lots in, like, somewhere along the 110 listening to police scanners. I did that story, and I got two calls from people that wanted to be in touch with the people I'd interviewed for film and TV production.

All right. That's a much better – that's a much more legit reason than I thought, I'll be honest with you. I'm looking for the story now, by the way. I did find one. Do you remember doing a story? I won't play it. I seriously won't. I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable here, but do you remember doing a story, Britney Spears is so back, and now it's personal? No. I'm not going to play it because, again, I'm not here to make you uncomfortable. Yes, okay. Oh, I see. This is Bryant Park era, so that's why. This was probably in studio, and I was thinking this was like a story, but I'm going to do the transcript. Luke Burbank, host. Well, today—I'm going to do my imitation of you. Well, today is Tuesday. Of course, that means new music releases. We've got us some Britney Spears, some Bob Dylan covers, thankfully not performed by Britney Spears.

June 24th, 2005. Searching out mayhem with video, quote, Nightcrawlers. Nice. NPR's Luke Burbank looks into it. I mean.

Where's your associate producer credit? Thank you. Where's my blockbuster video award? And they were called Nightcrawlers? Okay.

I think I might have even coined the phrase.

That's probably not true. I think they probably called themselves that. How would you know I did the story? Well, the first line is, they've been called the Nightcrawlers of Los Angeles.

By me, maybe, in the story. That'd be a weird way to write about it.

Right, exactly. Well, no, there you go. That's good. So we got N. We're on O. Well, at what point do we take a break? Like, O, we have to take a break. Because we're halfway through the alphabet. I don't know if that... Oh, shoot.

Is there a movie called O Shoot? All right, let's do it. Let's take a break.

That would be a good one for movies that are all about the afterlife.

Yes. There was I we like this literally came up like I don't know a month ago but there was a period of time where it felt to me this is when I was a kid like so many of the movies were about people going to the afterlife for comedic purposes like Heaven Can Wait I believe was a Warren Beatty film which actually I don't even know if he goes to heaven I know the video cover the VHS cover was him standing in a cloud so I thought he was like in heaven but then he gets sent back down And then there was like, Oh God, You Devil, that was like George Burns, right?

Yeah, and then doesn't Cuba Gooding Jr. play God in a movie? Maybe with Robin Williams, or maybe those are two different movies.

Yes, What Dreams May Come or something?

Yeah, something.

But this was like, before that, there was a lot of movies where people go to heaven and then they get rejected. And then they've got to come back down to Earth and do whatever, finish their mission, again, to sort of comedic ends.

It came upon a midnight clear, which I talked about quite a bit around the holidays.

Okay, we are going to go to break, but can I say one more thing really quickly about yesterday's show that I meant to say and then, you know, forgot, which was that Little House on the Prairie, TBTL Players that we did. I feel like the estate of O. Henry has a really legit case because all they did was The Gift of the Magi.

Oh, yeah, that was definitely a retelling of The Gift of the Magi.

It's The Gift of the Magi, which is like, I don't know what the rules are around that, if that's some kind of copyright violation. But, like, I think Michael Landon eventually, like, he sort of rested more and more control of everything on that show over time so that he was always, like, the hero of everything and had, you know, final say on, like, pretty much everything. And it feels to me like a Michael Landon move to be like, oh, we're doing a Christmas special? Let's just rip off O. Henry and pass it off like it's our own amazing heart. And, you know, peace and love to my mom, who is the reason I exist on planet Earth and I adore her. But I would be – my guess would be my mom would be not familiar with the O. Henry story and my mom would be like a lot of the demo that loved Little House. And so I feel like Michael Landon pretty much got over on the viewers who probably thought another amazing plot device on Little House when really it's just clearly a ripoff of a much more famous work.

Or an homage. Oh, by the way, for everybody who's yelling at the radio right now and saying, Oklahoma, that was turned into a movie, I have a kind of an unwritten rule. Frankly, none of these rules are written as of press time. But I have an unwritten rule that just taking a Broadway play and turning it into a movie doesn't count for these purposes. Do you think that's a dumb rule?

Well, you know, what's funny is that my thought for O was I know someone's made a movie version of Oedipus or Othello. Right, right, right. You know, there's an Othello like and it's like, so you feel like I don't think you're totally wrong. I didn't suggest either of those because I didn't even have words for it. Andrew, yes, a similar feeling of like.

You could just take something in the popular culture and assume with pretty good, you know, with a pretty good chance of being right that somebody made it into a movie at some point. But it kind of defeats the purpose.

Yeah. I wonder if O is I don't I don't know if we're going to get out of O, man. I'm kind of panicking.

Well, we're going to find out after we take this quick break here on TBTL. Everybody.

Are you asleep?

Hang on to the side of that cliff. We'll be back in a minute.

On your mark. On your mark. Get set. Get set. Now ready. Ready. Go.

All right, let's thank some Dazzling Donors. These are the wonderful, generous, beautiful, handsome, lovely. See, the problem is I've spent most of my brainpower listing movies, and now I'm running out of... Adjectives. ...complementary terms for these donors. Let me just say we really do appreciate it. We could not do the show without these Dazzling Donors. I don't think I'd even be awake right now Without our first dazzling donor Barry Fott, a.k.a. Broadcast Barry from Broadcast Coffee I say that because I'm drinking Broadcast Coffee as we speak Barry and his awesome staff Are nice enough to send us coffee On the regular And we appreciate that Barry also is sending us money on the regular Which, you know Our bosses appreciate I offered Lily Kim a free cup of coffee Every other week and she said We'd rather the money. I said, all right, you win. Here's Barry's message. Angela, Bill, Cheryl, David, Aaron, Gabrielle, Harris, Henry, Jared, Jim, Catherine, Keith, Kendra, Kevin, Kristen, Leo, Luke, Matt, Matthew, Monica, Pat, Sarah, Shannon, Tiffany, Tommy, Tom, Travis, and Wendy. I would like to dedicate this message to my children, many of whom I've never met. God, this is a really interesting place to tell us about this part of your life, Barry, but we appreciate it. These are some of the fine folks who have ordered over and over and over again from broadcast over the last year. Your support and tenorosity means so much to me and my crew. Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm also excited to announce that Broadcast will open a cafe in downtown Boise. Yeah. What? At 11th and Idaho this June. Let's connect and have a TBTL party and Marge the dog from the bench will be the guest of honor. Yes. God damn it, that sounds fun. Sounds great. Thank you again. You are all amazing and please take good care of yourself with all of my love and thankfulness. Broadcast Barry. Now, you want to know the truly coincidental thing is, remember I was in Boise like, I don't know, a month or two ago for a gig, and I wanted some good coffee, and I wanted some good coffee at a place that was fun to get coffee at. and i i'm not saying that this doesn't exist in boise or hadn't existed in boise but i couldn't find anything that was kind of exactly what i was looking for and i ended up going to this place that god bless like every coffee they made was like um called like a you know a pumpkin pie

and like most of the coffee they were selling was some sort of like very sugary dessert that had been converted into a drink you know what i mean like their specialty appeared to be Just taking a blueberry pie And then approximating it as a coffee drink And I just wanted some delicious Quality coffee at a Place that made me feel I was going to get a cup of coffee and just wander around And kind of like just take in some neighborhoods Well now there's a place for it The new broadcast coffee Cafe in downtown Boise At 11th and Idaho Do you think there's a movie called Ogres? Um Yes I do I feel like that's cheating, though. Well, I mean, Lucky was kind of a cheat for me, even though I've been trying to make it my nickname for years. Anyway, Barry, thanks, Matt. We love you. We really appreciate you. Thank you so much. Maestro?

On your mark. On your mark. Get set. Get set. Now ready. Ready. Go. Everybody rattle, dattle.

We've got to thank Laura Dirks as well in Toledo, Ohio. Thank you, Luke and Andrew, and the whole TBTL community. For just being awesome and there for all of us. The Slack group is my favorite way to interact with the Stens community. So I want to promote the Cuyahoga Clambake channel for all Ohio tens. I didn't. I love that. Yeah. See, this is the iterative process of this whole thing, right? Because we've got.

The 30 Rock joke where Jack Donaghy's eating Cuyahoga clams, or maybe Lemon's been eating Cuyahoga clams, or is about to.

Are they actually eating them? Yeah. Maybe they're considering eating them. Yeah, I think that he just references them. Yeah. He never goes there. Because Jack never goes there. Right. She's going to Cleveland. With Floyd. Yeah, right. Exactly.

With Ted Lasso.

Yeah. Have you watched that TV show? No, man.

And everyone tells me, I've got to watch it. And I just keep, it's just one of those things. And I'm going to be just deadly serious. I'm probably not going to get to it for a while. If this weather persists, you're just going to find me lying out in the middle of Burnside. Well, actually, that happens on the regular here, so I probably won't do that. It's fairly calm. I'm not trying to be dark, but, you know, that is a thing. I don't need to make it harder on the drivers of Portland. But anyway, you will find me outside enjoying this weather and probably not indoors watching Ted Lasso. But anyway, I like Cuyahoga Clambake as the as the next step forward in the Cuyahoga Clam. Yeah. Joke. It's a channel apparently on the Slack page for Ohio Tens. Our numbers have increased in the last year and I would love to plan a meetup maybe in the summer when we can be outside. I'd also like to advocate for a Cleveland live show for obvious reasons. Keep doing this awesome work, dummies. Well, thank you, Laura. appreciate your uh support and it is very much on our list um i can't say when i can't say how but i will tell you that uh some kind of live event in the state of ohio we will do it before

this show ends before this episode ends or before the tbtl closes up before tbtl has its final

episode we will do a show in ohio or we won't but then what can you do to us because we don't even

do the show anymore yeah or we do the final show in ohio oh so then that becomes real bittersweet

why are we doing that to our ohio friends i'm just saying uh laura thank you for the donation and it's it's definitely a conversation that we've been having and uh we'll continue to have and we'll make happen at some point it would be uh it would be a shame if we did not at some point bring the show to the the the sort of birthplace or at least the general area uh where one andrew Lewis Walsh first took in breath on this planet.

We could have booked the IX Center, the Cleveland International Exposition Center, which used to have an indoor amusement park because it's so huge, but it is now going, it's

going away. How about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Do you think we could book that out?

Maybe. And then we could be on stage and then like some boomer rocker from like Aerosmith can join us and then, hey, look. Andrew. What?

Octopussy.

Oh, nice.

Literally, maybe the first movie I saw in a theater. Well, definitely the first movie I saw in a theater without an adult taking me.

Oh, okay, yeah. I was going to say, that's fresh, man. That is very fresh by your family.

Oh, I know. Donald Whitehouse and his older sister, these were my bad influence kids that lived on my block, also Todd Staley. We got on the bus. We took the bus to Aurora Village in Seattle, which was about, well, I lived on 77th, and Aurora Village is whatever, 175th or something. And we went to the movie theater at Aurora Village, and we saw Octopussy. And I was just, I mean, I must have been like seven. Well, when did Octopussy come out?

That's a really good point. I wasn't even kind of doing the math in my head. I'm looking that up now, but it was pretty early.

Oh, 83. I was seven, Andrew. I was born in 1976. How was I at Octopussy by myself? I don't know. I mean, with Donald Whitehouse and his sister. I grew up feral. That's really what it comes down to.

But it's very strange because you're a combination of being very sheltered, but then seeing Octopussy at age seven.

I just remember sitting in the theater, and there is some scene. I've never seen the movie since. There's a scene where someone's chasing somebody, and they're in, like, the woods, and somebody throws a knife into someone's back. And I was like, ooh, well, that took a turn.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen that. I was going to ask you what the plot is, but I also don't really care. I'm not saying this to harsh anybody else's buzz because, again, I really do like world building. And that's kind of the thing for the WandaVision kind of got me back into reading the background of some of these Marvel characters and rewatching the movies. And while I'm not a big action person, I like the world building that they do. And so I appreciate world building aspects of James Bond and anybody who's really into it. Good on you. But like I remember being a kid and just thinking that I liked James Bond movies because you were just raised thinking that James Bond movies were the best. You know, my dad loves James Bond movies.

And then I got to a certain age where I started like really thinking about what movies I wanted to rent for myself. And I probably rented some James Bond in college. And then I don't know at what point I realized I don't like these. They seem very plotting to me. You know, they seem like kind of very slow. And I know there's a bunch of different iterations, too. So I'm sure they change.

I think they got a lot better. Like, I think what I mean is like in like Daniel Craig era, like I think, you know, Quantum of Solace and whatever these. i saw one of them in a theater one of the last like two maybe and or casino royale i think that's another one that was daniel craig i mean that's that's probably a remake there has to be like an

original casino royale like wasn't that the very very very first one well maybe maybe i'm confusing

quantum of solace with i've seen at least one of them it starts though with a scene in monte carlo so but maybe that's all in quantum of solace anyway i think you're right i think that they

read i think there are two but i think it's one of the earliest ones and now one of the newest ones

But I remember really enjoying the film because I think filmmaking – in a lot of ways, filmmaking has gotten dumber and worse. But in other ways, it's gotten better in that – like superhero movies, Marvel movies and these other universes, they usually now have some kind of sense of humor. There's a little bit more ironic kind of wink that's worked in. And these movies like – like I said, whichever one of those – I'm just going to keep saying Quantum of Solace. I think that's the one I saw. It was just a really well-done film. The special effects were amazing. They're smart enough to not have the love interest be named Pussy McFacebutt or whatever. They're always naming the women ridiculous things in the films in the early days. you know like I mean literally Pussy Galore is one of the names of like how do you take a movie seriously when the like female love interest is named Pussy Galore is that also the

name of a movie or is that just also the name of the film no I believe

that was I look I was eight when I saw Pussy Galore and really really blew my blew my hair back but you know what I mean like I think that the I think that those I'm looking at Rotten Tomatoes says Octopussy it's got 42% Rotten Tomatoes really it's It's got 6.6 out of 10 on IMDb. I think that the universe or the film-watching community is like, yeah, that was a bad movie.

Pussy Galoris and Goldfinger, for whatever it's worth. I just wanted to throw that in there.

But I do think that those movies have gotten a little bit better. Like, honestly, if they – and I like Daniel Craig, too. Like, I think if they put one of those out and, you know, we're post-pandemic and I can go to a big old movie theater and, like you like to say, have some popcorn and watch a James Bond movie, I probably would now. But I agree with you that I think a lot of those older ones are just not particularly well done as films.

Genevieve says the latest incarnations are definitely the best, too. She had one of those on the other day as well.

Yeah. But the other thing is, I mean, there are films from that era that are good. The French Connection. Like, it's not like they didn't know how to make sort of taut, you know, I guess you would call it a thriller. You know, or you go way further back and it's like, you know, The Third Man. You go back to some like that, some of that stuff. It's like people, anything that Hitchcock was doing is like people were making good movies, but I just don't think that the people making the James Bond movies were on that list.

Yeah, I never read any of the books either. So and I don't know, like, were the books really popular? I have no I have no idea. I mean, I also think it's because, oh, why did I bring this up if I can't? Who is the very obviously the very first James Bond? He was such a sex. Raj.

No, Sean Connery.

Connery, right? Yeah. So I think that was a big part of it, too. Just like it was a vehicle for him. Right. Which probably had a lot to do with the popularity.

Yeah. By the way, Andrew, Popeye.

Oh, thank you, dude. It's been driving me crazy. Like, I'm not really great at this show anyway. And now I have like this partition of my brain that is kind of spinning in the background. Like it's looking for like it's looking for Bitcoin sort of. Like it's just like constantly. It's like it's going through all these equations. P.A. P.I. I'm going through all the vowels. OK, so we got our P's down. That's good. now now we're at q oh you're right we did o p q now q i feel like is either gonna be really obvious or it's gonna kill us think of words that start with q u that's my that's my uh quick change dang it's two words is it definitely two words quick change well i don't know uh let's just look at that bill murray

right yeah that's a great bobcat gold weight write that or something oh is that true quick

change is uh written uh it's yeah two words for the 1990 film quicksilver how about quicksilver

starring a young kevin bacon is that one word it he's a bike messenger like it yeah i didn't even

know that that was a thing but yeah quicksilver is a movie 1986 So Anything good? Well, when I was a kid, I don't even know if I actually saw the movie, but I must have seen the trailer. And that's when I decided I was going to become a fast-paced bicycle messenger in a major American city. What does this say? It says, up-and-coming broker Jack Casey crashes on the stock market one day and cashes in whatever he has left to become a bicycle messenger in San Francisco. So, I see. Wow. Interesting. But that's two words? No, no. Yeah, that's one word. You got it, my boy. You got it. Woo-hoo! So now we're Rushmore Oh are we Oh my gosh And you don't believe in God You know that meme where somebody like There's a bunch of kids standing around It's one of the oldest memes And there's a bunch of kids standing around And I can't remember what the one kid says And they all freak out It's like you post it when you burn somebody And they're all kind of laughing at you I just sort of had that moment Not like we were burned But like I was so filled with I wanted to get up and run around the room The serendipity of that was Amazing that I'm saying Rushmore And before you can even hear it You're just going with a Rushmore reference Oh are they? That's great Do you think there's any movies that begin with the letter S even? Sliver Oh there you go T Tootsie Tootsie, nice U U-turn, is U-turn one word? I think it is, it's hyphenated Is U-be a movie starring what my mom used to call U-e's Really? I'm going to turn a U-be here For years I thought everybody who said U-e was wrong I'm counting U-turn because U is not a word, U-turn is the same word Oh, my God. We are killing it at the game, Luke. Are you asleep yet? No, but I had to remember V. Velocity. Is that definitely a movie or it just sounds like one? Oh, 100%. Oh, what's that movie? I feel like Jennifer Lopez is in it. Oh, okay. You're looking up for the details? Velocity film. I'll let you handle that while I take a look at the Ws. You know what? Let's try to think of a better. I would think I was thinking of Terminal Velocity. Oh, okay. Because there is a movie called Velocity, but it's like I would have never in a million years have even known about it. It seems like it was probably a kind of – so, V, we can do it, though. We're so close, man. I've never gotten – I'm going to fall asleep any minute now. All it takes is two adult people who are at the beginning of their day. By the way, I'd like to take a moment to address all the people who write in to say, how do you come up with things to talk about on the podcast every day? I would like to answer right now. I don't know.

It's just a really special skill that I have. It's a gift. It's a gift. Luke and I are just blessed. Okay. So what are we on? Okay. We're on V. V. Vertigo. Hitchcock. Nice. Okay. Vertigo. So now we're on to W, which you're really pulling the weight now. I'm in a flow state, my friend. Yeah, you are. I just don't even, you know, the game is slowing down. The podcast is definitely slowing down for the listeners. What's the rat movie? Oh, Willard. Willard. With Crispin Glover? With Crispin Glover, yeah. Oh, wait, no, that was the remake, right? He remade it. It was actually an old 70s movie. I was good to you, Ben. We watched that movie as a kid growing up. Freaked me out. some dark scenes where he has to drown all this pet rat. You'd hate it. I would not like it. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot that he remade that. So, okay, X. Well, huh. Oh, Xanadu, you already said it. I've been waiting months to get to X in this game, and then I suddenly blanked on it. I started thinking of pornography jokes, because those are all Xs. So then why this should be easy Yellow Submarine If you say it like that it counts Yeller Let's see It's probably not helpful if I just start making up words No I'm with that Yowls Yolo Yodo There's gotta be a movie called Yodo Yolo Yowsers I feel like there's a Why movie with Pauly Shore It just seems like the right vibe well the thing about why that's a little tricky is it it so often is the beginning of a word that needs another word to make a movie title right like there's not a i don't i don't think there's a movie called you actually there probably is a movie called y-o-u but that feels like a cheat

the odds there um how about um and like also the word yes it's usually like yes and then something

else um if we get stalled out here i think we can phone a friend i can't believe we made it this far we could get genevieve's the one who taught me the the general game of coming up with like movies that fit a category with a first letter um and going through the alphabet 510 to yuma

What if the first letter in the name is Y So 5 colon 1 zero Oh no, 2 with T-O Dang it

By the way, we could have used I don't remember what we did for N But Nebraska would have fit there Good film We had the writer of Nebraska on TBTL Oh yeah, what's his name?

Bob Nelson

Everybody's always told me Nebraska's the type of movie you would love walsh and then i've never you would love it walsh what else did um what else did he do well bob

nelson was a character a writer and a character on almost live no kidding really yeah the the oh i didn't know that the the alums the successful alums of almost live include bob nelson who wrote nebraska and other films um joel mckayle uh who's now known as joel mckayle for all the things he's

done and um that's kind of wraps it up wow yeah so nebraska is so he he doesn't have a long um filmography it's mostly nebraska and then i believe he like decamped to bainbridge after

almost live and it's various kind of you know i i think i think almost live like basically was a big huge thing in seattle king five was was funding it and it was it was huge going gangbusters and then you know media landscapes change and i think it went through a few different versions but anyway it was all said and done bob nelson uh i think he just kind of like literally went off and wrote this movie nebraska and then it just became this incredibly well respected and beloved film with

bruce dern and will forte in it and then later on the confirmation but those it looks like those are the only two uh movies to his name i thought for sure my memory was that when nebraska came out it was somebody whose earlier work i was familiar with and it was weird well because it was directed by alexander pain oh and who's alexander pain he directed election yes okay that's what i was thinking about schmidt thank you yes yes yes yes yes okay gotcha so it's got a great i mean i would

recommend it's a really really good film this brings us no closer to the why no no but this

is why we play the game yankee yankee yankees you know how i spent my morning by the way while we're just doing this ridiculous game i spent my morning doing i'm not i don't think it's fair to say deep dives when you're just reading wikipedia articles but when you're reading full wikipedia articles i was reading long wikipedia articles about the motley crew records that came out after their popular records what happened was i saw that there's i saw something on twitter i'll take you on the whole journey while you think of wise i'm giving you a i'm letting you thank you i can Let your brain kind of cycle through why I tell this boring story. I mentioned on the show. Oh, got it. Oh, anyway. What is it?

Yesterday. The movie about the guy who wakes up and nobody has heard of the Beatles?

Looked terrible, but yes, yes.

I thought it was a great premise, but I don't think it quite.

It is an interesting premise.

Only because that's the kind of dream I have is like, oh, there's some amazing thing. And then like somehow everyone thinks I invented it.

Imagine a world where you wake up and nobody has heard of the movie Nightcrawler. That's really good, which puts us on Z. I feel like there must be a movie called Zanzibar. But I also called Gonzaga University Zanzibar the other day on accident.

How about Zoolander?

Zoolander, and we did it. And I'm more awake than ever. So it's interesting. You do it at night, it puts you to sleep. During the day, it wakes you up. It's a twofer. I had mentioned my friends in week.

Downers to go to sleep, uppers to wake up.

My eighth grade friends who kind of got me into The Godfather and these other things, the band that they really got me into that I wouldn't have otherwise was Motley Crue. I think I forgot to mention that on the show. Today, I'm laying in bed, and I see a tweet that says something about Record Store Day. I'm sorry. Is it Record Store Day? Yeah, it's happening again this year. And, you know, this is, you know, a promotional thing to get people into record stores across the country and support independent music stores. And, you know, there's often special releases that are only released on that day or at least debuted on that day or maybe only available on that day. And I saw that there was a Motley Crue five. set box set of their first five like um albums which are the ones that everybody knows and loves well maybe not everybody loves them but they're the ones you know and then i was like yeah what happened after that like what are the records after dr feelgood um other than um decade of decadence which was the obviously the compilation where they added a bunch of new tracks and of course i did buy that on cd a few years ago because it's out of print and i found it on discogs but um what happens after that and then i didn't realize they release an album without vince neal that's just called motley crew which that's a ballsy move right there your first eponymous record is six records in and the eponymous record is the one without the original lineup where they replace you with another singer and then the story on that record is first of all it's not good uh according to reviews and there's kind of grunge influence and you have this new singer but also Vince Neil is out of the band my assumption is that they got into a big fight that probably had to do with his uh you know partying ways and drug use because they say on this record they swore off they they had like a they kind of kept themselves all accountable and swore off not just drugs and alcohol but black coffee or I'm sorry coffee red meat they were taking supplements and they had a personal trainer and they're like we're gonna be healthy and this is gonna be a great record you know the ones who did dr feel good and all these other songs about you know right i mean smoking in the boys room this is an a terrible

thing uh to say when there are young people listening to this but that sounds like the worst way to make a motley crew record i'm sorry i'm not trying to advocate for people right you know damaging their bodies or doing dangerous things but it's just like there are bands that like you know that that would be great for because of the style of music they play and maybe what their creative process is is to just be like totally your most healthy version of yourself but that does not jive with the motley crew thing right and my guess is because this article didn't

get into why vince neal and the rest of the band started fighting but my guess is if this is a band that is totally based on at this point i'm gonna say well a decade well yeah it was a decade of decadence so now they're like 11 12 years in and they've been doing this lifestyle but you know how it is it's partying at first but then this shit ruins your life and your relationship so they probably just hit bottom as a band and said let's let's get clean let's get rid of vince neal and let's let's get our lives together which is actually laudable right but as people said like they shouldn't have called it motley crew you got a new singer and you're not just sober but

you're like you're all getting like coffee enemas every before every recording session yeah you can't change your name to ben harper and the fun loving criminals or whatever like like go go in a different direction artistically where you're like we're gonna unplug a little bit we're gonna be healthy there's gonna be a lot of yoga happening like but but yeah that's that's Absolutely. So that's how I said it in the morning. I know that Tommy Lee appears to be doing all right because I see his wife, a woman named Brittany Furlong. She's on TikTok all the time, and she loves that TikTok. And I don't follow her, but for some reason, constantly pops up on my For You page, and she's often dragging Tommy into the background. They seem like they have quite a lovely life of domestic bliss.

What's going on with Pamela Anderson?

Limited intel on that. I believe she lives in Canada. I'm not kidding. I think I actually saw a story that she got married in Canada recently, and she seems to be very happy. So, you know, happy Friday to everybody except Kid Rock. That's really what I'm here to say. Rob Ritchie, whatever his name is.

What's that? Am I missing why you just brought that up? Well, she was married to Kid Rock. Oh, I didn't know that. I had no idea. In fact, when you said his wife, I didn't remember that they had gotten divorced. I just always think of them as a couple. But I don't really follow the tabloids much. I mean, I'm sure they had a big, messy breakup, right? Pamela and Tommy Lee.

Kid Rock and Pamela.

Oh, I was thinking of Tommy Lee. I was still thinking of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson.

I think they broke up and got back together a few times. My guess would be they both seem like decent humans. My guess would be there's a lot of love there, Andrew. But it's just, you know, they make better friends. They make a better sex tape than married couples. What are you going to do?

that's just absolute stupidity I am so proud that we got through that entire alphabet man and here's the thing about it though I can still probably if I need to go to sleep tonight and I'm having trouble I could probably start over with A and still fall asleep around the L's because your brain will just still like kind of churn away at it and then your brain kind of wanders it is like a sleep aid it's pretty amazing because sometimes you kind of wake up in a half sleep and you're like oh where was

Anyway, you want to talk about the Drops of Stupider Day 8? These are recurring segments going head-to-head. These, well, one of them is kind of, what's the word I'm looking for? How often do I say that? That's something we should have put on the bingo card. What's the word I'm looking for? Amorphous is, I think, the word I'm looking for. The idea of trucktober. Trucktober is going up against dreamcatchers. Now, one thing I've – these are the middle seeds, by the way. This is number four, Trucktober, going up against Dreamcatcher number five. Now, the thing about Dreamcatcher is I always just think of it as when you and I find ourselves talking about a dream, we play our Dreamcatcher music. But I forgot that when TBTL was new to American Public Media and it was my full-time job, I was trying to come up with actual recurring segments we could do, and I was encouraging listeners to send me their dreams. Do you remember that? And we would do like once or twice a week, we would do like quick roundups of the dreams people sent in. Do you remember that?

I'm trying to remember if I – no, I don't remember that even happening.

Yeah. It was when I was in L.A., and so this would have been about 2015 when we were both – when this became my full-time job, and I was like really into dreams. And so anyway, let's start with some Dreamcatcher tape. This will give you a sense of what that segment was like.

Have you been catching any dreams of late? It's so interesting to me, not just the number of dreams that people are sharing with us, but the number of people who are now saying that they've all of a sudden started having more dreams because of your enjoyment of reading and learning about other people's dreams, Andrew.

I believe it. I mean, if something becomes kind of top of mind for you, it sticks in your brain a little bit more. And to the person who said that I shouldn't believe all these people and that everybody is probably just sending lies that are supposedly dreams they had. I'd say to that person, I would just say learn to trust your fellow 10. I have a couple of dreams for you. Wendy says, last night's dream, went to the salon for a trim, walked out with a mullet, a bad mullet. That was tweeted to me with the hashtag TBTLDreams. Edward also tweeted at me, dreamt i had a vince vaughn like friend who was a deity he told someone this was my last day with both eyes long day ensued sounds scary and then i like this one this was posted on the tbtl stens page with hashtag tbtldreams amanda writes i dreamt i had nothing but protein shakes in my house but that i had also injured myself and was unable to work out i kept having to eat the protein shakes but i cried every time i did because i just knew it was going to make me fat

not strong what i like the uh the vince vaughn deity yeah that would be that would that would be enough to make me want to go to heaven as if it was vince vaughn was like no god are you serious

you would hate that oh yeah i don't like that guy meh on the record i'm not a huge vince you know

what actually you honestly you you bought in at the right time on not liking vince vaughn

Does nobody like Vince Vaughn now Or is it just the

He just seems like the guy who's the most likely To have an all lives matter Bumper sticker You know Maybe Oh a hundred percent I mean I think he might even be a kind of known Like Hollywood Republican now He's got that kind of like He's just unfortunately got that sort of like You know he'd probably tell you how he grew up You know In wherever he grew up And he didn't have in Dearborn, Michigan, he didn't have anything going for him. And he figured it out. So why can't everybody else figure it out? And it's like, well, that's not how that works. Oh, man. Here's the headline.

Surprised by Vince Vaughn's chumminess with Trump. You shouldn't be. The actor has long been one of the most demonstrably right wing stars in the predominantly liberal enclave of Hollywood. Huh. I didn't know that. See, I wouldn't. I would have expected him. But your spidey sense. I would just guess that he's not into like he would have just been like, I don't care. I just want to be like there's just something kind of like I always just like got a patina of sleaze on him. Not that I've ever heard of him actually doing anything wrong. IRL. I just mean the characters he plays and the character, his persona in real life. So that's what I don't like about him. And I would have figured like he doesn't even care about politics. He wouldn't have any bumper stickers on his car because he's just too cool for that stuff.

I do remember my first ex-wife worked at a bar in L.A., and she told me a story once of Vince Vaughn showing up at the door of the bar. It was closed. It was like 3 or 2.30. He had a bottle of Jack Daniels in one hand and was banging on the door like, you guys got to let me in. And that's not a political statement.

It's also something I've probably done at some point, but that was my, that was the closest I ever got to having a read on Vince Vaughn.

Okay, so the last thing here, and this is a quick piece of tape, is Trucktober. Like, how do you, you know, how do you solve a problem like Trucktober?

You tell them The Bone sent you.

This was from back in 2017. I think you and I were just riffing at one point. It was October. I started calling it Trucktober, whatever. And then what happened was the thing that I remember most is some listeners created a very funny truck tober thread on Facebook where they were talking about all the different ways that they celebrate the holiday. Listener named Scott posted on the Stens page. What are you guys doing for truck tober? I'm Jewish, so we don't really celebrate the holiday. We usually just go out for Chinese food, but sometimes we decorate a tractor just to fit in. Edward responded, I'm from the four-state diesel orthodox tradition, so we're on a different calendar than everybody else. Trucktober doesn't even start until Monday for us, and it runs through Veterans Day this year. Kevin says, I'm Catholic, and while the traditions vary, it typically involves pimping out our popemobiles. And Laurel says, my people were historically persecuted for celebrating Trucktober, and I didn't even learn of our faith until recently. I rented a pickup to move some furniture and my mother couldn't stop

crying

there it is happy trucktober everybody you can vote for these at tbtl.net just go on today's show page or if you're signed up for the newsletter I'm putting all of these polls in the newsletter

I had to mute my microphone because I was going to be doing that thing where I laughed over our laughter from the original experience with it

It was kind of charming, yeah.

All right, let's do a little music for your weekend before we get out of here. This is actually good that we didn't get to the top stories because I am really curious to see where this Bobcat video goes. This guy who basically, his wife gets attacked by a Bobcat, he picks it up and throws the Bobcat in their front yard. It's an insane video. We don't know anything about the people and also anything about the veracity of it. We supposedly know the guy's name is Happy

Did you see that?

Because the wife says The wife screams Happy In the midst of it That's the info we're working off of It's surprising to me that it's been almost 24 hours And we don't have These people have not been on Good Morning America yet And we don't have a bunch of info My guess is It's going to be a real Vince Vaughn situation Because one of the things the guy does Is takes out a gun and starts trying to shoot the bobcat

Oh you actually see a gun in the video?

No, he's yelling he has a gun. You see him pull the gun out. I mean, you can't see it because it's like a Nest home cam, but whatever. Oh, I didn't see the actual gun. It's better for us to talk about this. We're not trying to be the breaking news show around bobcat attacks. We're trying to be the show of record. Right, right, right. So on Monday, we'll have much more information. And believe me, this paint is still going to be the whitest paint on earth by Monday. So all of that will occur on Monday. In the meantime, though, Andrew, what song have you selected to play for the listeners?

I know we don't have tons of time here, Luke, but if you'll allow it. I have a real song I'm going to play, but I just wanted to tell you about one thing. Do you remember, of course, you do listener Joey wrote that song the right way to remember the wrong kind of night. We played it and it's beautiful. And again, his band is the Pine Hearts. I saw some people on Slack saying that the Pine Hearts is a great band that they were already enjoying before they realized that Joey is a 10. Anyway, I just wanted to mention, and this is not my official submission, but our friend Brian, Brian Dasty, or Dasty, if I'm saying his name right, down there.

Oh, yeah, Dast, maybe, down here in Portland.

Dast, yeah, there in Portland. He plays pedal steel, and so he took the recording off of the podcast. You're going to hear my voice at the beginning of this, and he added some pedal steel. I just wanted everybody to hear a little bit of this, because I love the song, and I've got to say, Luke, this is really beautiful. Take a listen. The Right Way to Remember the Wrong Kind of Night.

The Right Way to Remember the wrong kind of night the wrong way to fall in love until the morning light standing in the shadows after holding you tight the right way to remember The wrong kind of night You know what, this is my music, I'm just gonna play some more You can tell me that it's over It didn't really last that long I've gotten used to waking up And finding everything is gone Cause love's just a little moment We both try to stay away Right or wrong, sometimes you take it Just to watch it all decay The right way to remember The wrong way

kind of night the wrong way to fall in love until the morning light standing in the shadows after holding you tight the right way to remember the wrong kind of night there you go I'm making that oh my god

for your weekend there you go honestly can we just like when I die can we can Brian please just like I don't know as they lower me into the ground actually i don't want to be in the ground as they incinerate my body can brian just be playing pedal steel guitar please because that is i think one of my favorite

sounds in the world is the pedal steel that's really beautiful that's really good now i think that every listener should keep adding to it of course i talked in the middle of that one so that's not going to work but now like somebody else can add a tambourine then somebody can add a tuba Wait, I don't know if I support this.

The start is like this is just a beautiful bit of Americana that's only made better by Brian's addition. But what you're describing is something that would be on a goddamn some weird ass float that's going out to the playa for Burning Man.

Oh, you don't like music? Come on. Don't disrespect the tuba.

I'm great with the tuba. I'm just saying with that song, I don't know.

Well, it's two, but anybody can listen to that song and realize the one thing that's missing is tuba and a little bit of tambourine. Then it's perfect.

So my song is like, boy, I don't know if if anyone but me is going to like this song and I don't even know if I like it. But I was poking around on the Internet and I landed on this guy last night named Eves Jarvis. He's out of Montreal. all he makes very experimental music and very experimental videos to go with the very experimental music um but i thought so this thing has got all kinds of weird it's it's i find it to be very kind of like pleasant and soothing but there's some definitely some like triple vocal tracking going on where i don't know it's just called four props and it's eve's jarvis and i would just like to play it because you know it made an impression on me last night how's that for a sales pitch Andrew sounds good let's take a listen this is my favorite de la soul record

Your unfortunate can't be contained And be bright, a light of day

Return for Whatever race Yeah, you do, that was the cause Not quite the extent of the loss Your fortune All right, so there you go.

The leaves Jarvis for props. What did you think of that?

I like it. You had me all geared up for something that was going to be, I thought, really weird. It just sounds nice to me.

Well, here's the thing. apparently this is his not weird stuff because I was reading like various I was looking at him on Twitter I don't know what the hell he's talking about on Twitter it's just like it's like the most mystical shit you've ever seen it's just like I've been looking at the way that light creates math for the last few years and trying to like it's all some shit that is either profound or nonsense but anyway he was somewhere I read him doing an interview he was like yeah I do this real easy listening music now people think I'm easy going but I'm not so I don't know but I was digging that song and I don't know if that reflects the larger kind of style of music he makes but anyway that's my selection here's the listener selection it's from listener Natalie who says hi Luke thinking of you as we just went for dinner out in Portland for the first time since September it was a sunny 60 degree February day and it was amazing we were at Bar Casa Val or Valet Or Valle, I don't know Not too far from where you live How do you know where I live, Natalie? I've given zero clues about that It's above an ambulance factory Next to a skate park Other than that, I've given no specific details It's a nice little We were in a nice little cabana outside Anyway, we heard this song And I loved it immediately Maybe you will too It's by Whitney It's called Southern Nights I love this song I don't know if I've even played this song On the show before, Andrew But I dig these guys, Whitney And I dig this song It's a nice little kind of mellow thing to go out with on a Friday So that's what we're going to wrap things up with That's going to bring us to the end of our broadcast week Thank you everyone for Hanging out with us this whole week and being part of TBTL, we really do appreciate it We'll see you on Monday with more Imaginary Radio Until then, have a great weekend, stay safe, take care of yourselves Go Mariners And please remember, no mountain too tall
