T-B-T-M. guess what day it is guess what day it is friday friday gotta get down on friday

you're singing that wrong how i made it up ladies and gentlemen meatloaf cake with only 433 calories 52 grams of protein and only five kyber hydrams you call hamburger steamed hams yes it's a

regional dialect. This is not your mama's podcast. This is too beautiful to live. Were you just using a synthesizer? Nope. So you mean to tell me that all of those sounds were coming from your body? Yup. I'm the president of rap music and I need to work with you right

away. All right. Hello. Good morning and welcome everyone to a Friday edition of TBTL. I heard about that thing on the am radio the show that just might be too beautiful to live my name is luke burbank i'm your host let's remember the past is history the future is a mystery and now is a gift because it's called the present coming to you once again from the shores of el pacifico here in santa barbara the american riviera oh ma pa it's just beautiful once again staring out on people enjoying their brunch at chad's restaurant on yesterday's episode the journey i went on was feeling embarrassed that people were kind of noticing me in this window broadcasting and then sad that they had were not paying attention to me and basically were ignoring me and now i've moved on to the hunger stage of grief which one of the stages of grief is hunger because I'm there right now. I'm watching these people drink mimosas and eat their brunch. And you know what it reminds me of? And I'm not trying to complain about this job because I'm very lucky to have it. In fact, in a little bit, we're going to thank some donors of the day, the people that make this possible. But when I used to make frozen yogurt at Bumpy's Fruit and Yogurt, my job was to be there on sunny Saturdays and Sundays. So everyone else is enjoying themselves. And I was saying can I please get you some yogurt sir right now I'm just podcasting I'm doing my job as I watch all these people enjoy their leisure time but you know what again this is a fun job to have and I'm happy to be here on episode 3498 in a collector's series

let the fun begin

happy you all are here as well listening to the program and not injuring yourself trying to climb up a bunch of milk crates

and that milkaholic Lindsay wasn't over

Lindsay

Milk of what?

Because that is a thing people are doing online. They are climbing onto milk crates and falling down, and I'm seeing milk crates here in Santa Barbara. So we're going to talk about that. Also, Steve Harvey. You must now address him as Judge Steve Harvey. Personally, I blame Steve Harvey for this. Because he has yet another television show. There was one hour of the day that Steve Harvey wasn't hosting on television, and they fixed that by giving him a show where he's basically like a people's court judge. So we're going to get into that. And also, Wendy's says they are improving their French fries. They are doing some sort of alchemy that's going to make the fries stay hotter longer. I'm flying in hot for that hottie. So we'll get to that time permitting. And also, of course, because it's a Friday edition of the show, we'll get to music for your weekend as well. All that with the help of this guy, longest running Cobra of the show. may be best known for his depictions of the tall ships. I consider him...

This handsome young stranger.

A handsome young stranger from the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, joining us right now. Good morning, my friend.

Good morning, Luke. I have spent the past, I don't know, maybe hour or so watching the live video feed from the Minnesota State Fair. And I got to say, the nose has turned up on this a little bit, But Luke, like 10 minutes ago, it was the saddest thing I'd ever seen, which is my Bob Edwards. It is pouring. It looks like the rain has let up a little bit now. And there's a lot more people out there. I don't have my Denzel Washington get wet here with me in Santa Barbara. It's the saddest thing I've ever heard. I meant to tell you, I love the fact that you've never really explained that drop on the show, but suddenly you're just playing it constantly. And when Genevieve and I were taking a.

several weeks ago and it was kind of rainy and misty i kept saying over and over and i tried to give genevieve the context for him but i kept saying over and over like to the point where i thought i was doing a good denzel in my head but like i think it was not but didn't know you like to get wet though uh anyway yeah these folks i mean getting wet though at the minnesota state fair yeah now i'm starting to see a lot of activity people have their umbrellas out and it looks like i can see a corn dog stand and maybe an actual corn stand i don't know um but But it was pouring, Luke. I mean, first of all, you know, there's a lot of, you know, just concern about the fair anyway. It seemed for a while earlier this summer that it was going to be a great triumphant return of, what is it, Minnesota's Great Gathering?

What do they call it?

I think it's the big get-together. The big get-together, yeah. It was going to be the triumphant return. But, of course, now that the COVID numbers are getting worse again, there's a lot more conversation about whether or not this should even be happening, whether there should have been a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate, which there are neither. And so I think a lot of people are feeling kind of bummed about what was going to be a very feel-good moment. And then I believe as we tape this, I think this is the first day of the fair or one of the first days of the fair, and to turn on this camera and to see it just pitch, almost pitch black dark in the middle of the afternoon And with the exception of some, like, flashing yellow lights on the corn stand and just pouring rain and the occasional person, like, running through the dark to, like, find shelter somewhere, it was bumming me out, man.

You know what they're probably saying out there? Oh, we need the rain.

Yeah, exactly.

When it rains in the summer, and that's actually very true now, probably more true now than it's ever been during humans' time on this planet, right? Like, it's a bummer for an afternoon, but I'm sure they're happy to get the rain. Are you watching the Minnesota State Fair because you're having kind of feelings of longing? Are you missing it? Are you wishing we were there minus the rain?

Well, I have been very much in a Minnesota state of mind lately because I remember a while back I wanted to read an article about garbage pickup in St. Paul and the Star Tribune. And in order to get that article for free, I signed up for the Star Tribune's newsletter. Well, Luke, since then, remember I was then grumbling like that only got me one free article. Now I get a newsletter full of links that are just dead ends for me until I finally pay the whatever it is, 20 bucks to get to get a subscription. Well, in that time, I have signed up for another newsletter. The Star Tribune then said to me, hey, we're launching a new St. Paul focused newsletter, not just Twin Cities. Are you interested in what's going on locally in St. Paul? And I was like, yes, I am. And so now every day I'm at least scanning the headlines and blurbs of the news coming out of the Twin Cities. And so when there was a link in today's in today's email that said, hey, you can watch our live cam. You know, it's just a single soundless steady, steady shot of, you know, one of the streets in the state fair. And now I got to say, I've been watching this the whole time we've been talking. I'm fascinated by it. The people are really coming out now. It looks like still umbrellas up, a lot of ponchos. Some look like maybe hastily created ponchos, others brought from home. But people are, you know, there's a Midwestern toughness here that I'm seeing.

I'm also watching the live stream of humans in front of me, Andrew. Oh, it's crazy. It's almost like an Internet thing but even more vivid. And I'm not exaggerating when I say it. So it is making me so hungry. I also realized I don't think I said your name at the top of the show. So just so everyone knows, your name is Andrew Walsh. Also, that's kind of a reminder to you in case you forgot. Thank you. I appreciate that. I almost thought I was John Moe for a second.

Right. Common confusion.

With all this Minnesota fair talk, people could have confused the two of you.

Are you looking at the menu of Chad's? What are they offering?

No, I'm just looking at what people are eating. People are eating club sandwiches. Somebody's eating maybe chicken strips and fries. People are drinking very fancy, like, triple-decker, like those Bloody Marys that have, like, an entire meal atop them on a giant, you know, like, stick. So we're actually, this is the Friday episode of the show, but we're recording two shows on Thursday because I'm going to be in a pond tomorrow looking at beaver dams because there's a story about how beaver dams actually are, beavers are great for environments, as you might imagine, And they also their dams and their work can help actually mitigate wildfires sometimes. So that's where I'm going to be tomorrow. So we're recording two shows today. What it means is I have been sitting here at my position just staring at people eat for now going on three and a half hours. And I am peckish, my friend. I'm going to leave here and go directly to the closest. I don't know if they have a laughing planet up here, whatever.

kind of healthy Santa Barbara bowl type of thing I can get with some quinoa, some ancient grains in there, I'm going to go directly there and start eating that stuff so quickly that I forget that what I really want is a basket of French fries. I'm going to force myself to eat some healthy food, and then I can re-examine. It's like my therapist would tell me. I'm allowed to have whatever reaction I have is okay, but I need to take a moment to just consider what reaction I'm going to have, and then I get to decide what I'm going to do. I get to eat as many baskets of French fries as I want after I've eaten an entire bowl of quinoa.

And maybe that'll kind of dampen that hunger for those fries. I'm looking at Chad's menu. By the way, a lot of good-looking, hearty fare here, but not a lot of meatless options. I don't think this is the Chad's for you, honestly.

This is not the Chad's I'm looking for?

This is not the Chad's you're looking for, yeah.

Well, speaking of looking for things, Andrew, I got a call on my phone yesterday that I assumed was spam. You know how we're just so kind of like dead to any phone call that is an unidentified number at this point?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, first of all, even identified numbers, I don't really want to mess with that. Don't call me. I'll call you. And by that, I mean I probably won't call you. But when it's an unidentified number, there's a 0% chance of me answering it. But I think I actually know what this message is about that I've not yet listened to. It's 16 seconds. Do you want me just to play it really quick? I guess. I have no idea what it is.

Let's go here with speaker and see what we can do here.

Hi, Luke. Please call me if you have lost your COVID-19 vaccination record.

Oh, no.

If you have lost your vaccination card, please call me.

That is the very nice gentleman who found my vaccination card on the boardwalk here in Santa Barbara because it fell out of the pocket of my coat.

Wait, did you know before you got the call that I was missing?

No, he had to email me through Livewire.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, he had to email somebody at Livewire, Tim Harkins, our operations manager, and then Tim Harkins reached out to me.

Wow. Wow. I love that. You know, I've tracked somebody down one time by calling, I believe, like, I found somebody's wallet. I tracked somebody down one time. They were an enemy of mine, and I made them pay. No, I found somebody's wallet when I was living in Los Angeles. It was right outside of, like, the Airbnb I was staying in, and it was, like, people visiting from Hawaii. And I think I got to them by calling their – I think I called the number on the back of their insurance card, which then got me to a call center for maybe, I think, their care provider, I think, who ended up getting the message to them. But I like the effort that this person went through to get this back to you. That's an important document. It was so nice of him.

So I brought it. I have a photo of it on my phone. But I brought it here because I thought, you know, I might at some point need it. CBS is very careful about letting us go out on shoots and get tested and all this stuff. So I thought, it's just good to have this. But I didn't know where to put it. So I – because, you know, somebody – I can't remember who. Somebody said, what was the meeting like? I mean, obviously, this is a chaotic thing, a global pandemic. What was the meeting like where they said, let's make sure the cards are just slightly too big for your wallet? Yeah, that's kind of a bummer. Let's go half an inch long and tall on this. But anyway, so it's kind of an awkward size, and I don't want it to get damaged, so I slipped it into one of those little field notes. Notebooks that I have, the TBTL ones, the ones that didn't get sent out as the THON because I guess maybe I overordered them. And so I put it in there, and I remember putting it there and thinking, this is a bad idea. Because the vaccination card is very important to me. this fields notes thing is not i have many of them and what's going to happen is i'm going to like take this out at some point and forget that the card is in there and that must have been exactly what happened because uh somehow it slipped out of the fields notes out of my coat pocket landed on the beach and this guy found it and then he was calling me and i'm like later spam and then i got up this morning and there was an email from someone i work with tim at livewire like i mentioned and he was saying i don't know if this is if this is legit or not but someone said they found your vax card so i called the dude i was like thank you so much and he said it was just very cute he goes oh it's easy to track you down because you're apparently famous that's nice i like to hear that it was a nice little ego stroke and i said to the i said to the guy uh micro celebrity is the term sir and i said if you're ever in portland so he he's left it at the front desk of his hotel i'm gonna go grab it when we're done here and i said if you're ever in portland i'd love to put you and somebody else on the list for livewire so you can see just how not famous i am irl and he said portland is on my list of places to visit so i will take you

up on that and it sounds like i made a friend add the numbers is what he said that's right that's

that's that's basically that the tbtl listener model is people were related to or went to high school with and the livewire listener model is people who found my vax car right right and of

course another uh another listener base for tbtl is people named andrew war

walsh remember was or people who yes who are looking for a different andrew walsh we have two different people who came to tbtl that way uh looking for two different andrew walsh's but

um the irony is not people who are named luke burbank they are not fans of my work i do i yeah i mean i've talked about this before a lot the guy in idaho but then there's also the guy in missouri who i think is not keen on me either um i'm just likable you're likable enough um

What was I going to say?

No, even Luke Burbank's can tolerate Luke Burbank.

I want to – I always think of that moment in the – I don't know if you know what I was referencing. I loved that moment in one of the debates between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton where somebody – they asked a question about Hillary's likability, which is kind of a shitty question from a journalist, frankly. But then I think Obama said, you're likable enough. I think I have that. We could probably find that. I don't know how much of that I got right. But I want to say one thing about vaccine cards, because, yes, they are a very inconvenient size and shape. But, you know, it's even less convenient, Luke. The fact that I have two of them, like to this day, it is unclear why for my second shot. And I got it. You know, I went to the the big Lumen Field, you know, kind of outside the stadium area that was administered, I think, through the city and county together. So it was like a very official. like you weren't waiting for the vaccine to have a full FDA clearance I was not but I yeah and for some reason we went back the second time me and Genevieve got both of our shots together and the second time they said yeah we can't do it on the we can't we can't give you you know that your validation on the same card and they gave some reason that just did not make sense but everybody who showed up that day was getting a second vaccine card so I have two vaccine cards that

don't fit in my wallet right I mean I guess you could just carry the second one right because the

second one implies the first one happened I don't know yeah you know I guess that's a good point but like you I have photos of them on my phone I think for most first of all I have not the only places where I've had to show my card were some Mariners games before they opened the stadium up to everybody again actually that it was one Mariners game and that might be the only time I had to show my vaccine card so and if I ever do find myself in a situation like that I think most people uh are most most venues are accepting a photo for about one second I mean I didn't

seriously consider it but the thought had occurred to me to just get it tattooed on my body I don't know if that which you know isn't gonna what's that I don't know if that would really pass muster well I guess you're right I mean I don't know if that would be like legally acceptable although So I don't know if you're going to show him a photograph could sort of be anyone's, I guess. You know what's so messed up was this is how, like, lazy I am and also how used to losing things I am. The first thought that crossed my mind when I figured out that this guy had my vax card wasn't, oh, my God, I'm so lucky, this very precious thing, which allows me access to things and proves that I am, you know, operating in a safe and sane way. I better get that back. My first thought was I'll just get another one when I get back to Portland, which is so dumb because who would I even call? I don't even know where you would go for that. Do I call Tony Fauci? Do I get his number from Chris Hayes and then call him and go, Tony, I've got a situation? Like I was, I mean, I'm here, we're doing the shows, and then afterwards I've got some time to go eat quinoa, so it works out. But had I been even in 5% more of a hurry, my thought would have been to just leave it behind, which, again, is kind of so silly. I wouldn't know how to get another one.

Yeah, it's much easier right now to get that one across town in Santa Barbara. Right. Yeah.

I know, exactly. like uh the the dude's hotel is two hotels down from mine like why would i not just go get it but i just am weird that way like i just kind of like ah you know what i'll work it out when i get home but it's like no how about i invest four minutes now and just solve the problem once and for all um can i mention something that's uh sort of apropos of nothing while we were while you were posting today's show and before i should say a thursday show before we got to today's show I had a moment to look at the TBTL shows Of recent Vintage on the website And you have come up with some real humdinger Show titles my friend

Oh thanks usually if you don't know about them They're usually kind of last minute Hail Mary's Top gum

And my current favorite I fought the law and the dog won

Oh see that was one of my least favorites Remember you and I went back and forth After the show trying to come up with Show title for that one and we didn't land on Anything and so that was like my backup Plan but I thought that was kind of I mean I appreciate that sorry I can't Take a compliment I appreciate that you like it It was one of my faves you know what I just realized

Though if there is one group of People who I don't need to Say what the show titles were to It's the people listening to our voices Right now because by definition they have Clicked on the show title but I mean it's nice

For me to hear compliments Thank you. though, so they can just listen while I blush. I fought the law, and the dog one is genius to me. That's genius work. That's my Bill Clinton doing an impression

of Jay-Z. I like the one before that, which was from last Friday, which we did come up with on the show. Oh, the shame. That's my... That one. At the end of every year, I don't know if you know this, at the end of every year, it's become a little bit of a tradition. I like to, in the TBTL newsletter, which you can sign up for at tbtl.net, I like to do a roundup of my favorite... I just like to list my favorite show titles of the year it's always a fun exercise for me to go back i mean it's really well i don't like this phrase but as you might say it's a real smelling my own fart sort of situation as i go back i say that do i say that i feel like i got that expression from you are you joking because

you say it a lot no i'm i'm i guess you know what's funny because i i like poop jokes but

i'm medium on fart jokes yeah yeah i don't like explain that i don't really what's that logic

yeah i don't like that and i'm also i'm apparently very into staying in hotels that have a strong

waft of poop you know yeah i don't like i'm gonna before i ever heard that phrase i would have probably said um stay you know naving uh naving at my own gazel sure okay now we've got

today's show title i'm writing that down naving this man hates cans i was naming that too naving johnson naving at my own gazel

oh man uh i was also thinking there was another um there is another uh kind of pita-esque conversation going on i believe on the slack page i can't oh well there was some conversation about you know that expression you can't swing you can't swing a dead cat well that's pretty yeah that's pretty gruesome right but somebody wrote in to say that originally it was just you can't swing a cat and it didn't mean the animal meant a cat of nine tails and it came from like the um from like like like shipping or not shipping but you know people on ships but then that leads to maritime yeah if you're if you're whipping isn't a cat of nine tails that's a torture advice if you're whipping people well then that that takes it to slavery but that's no that's not right like

what and also what what was going on in this country that people were just when you casually said swing a cat everyone was like yeah not of nine tails there was that much whipping going on right like i don't know if i've ever seen a cat of nine tails not in a movie if you said swing in a cat my mind doesn't go to whip right exactly but you know back then it was like the it was like

the pre-second amendment kind of thing it's like you know out of my cold dead hand will you remove

this sure cat of nine tails exactly the only the only the only solution to a bad guy with a cat of nine tails is a good guy with the cat of nine tails ted kennedy has killed more people with his

car than i have with my cat of nine tails all right let's take a quick break and then when

we come back i do want to talk milk crates and uh also uh judge steve um harvey coming up here on tbtl and i have some more chappaquiddick jokes Alright, let's thank some donors of the day The people making it possible for me to have this job And then complain about how to do this job Instead of drinking mimosas On the street in Santa Barbara Which is what I want to be doing

Do you like mimosas, by the way? We've shared our opinions about Bloody Marys before but we haven't had the mimosa talk.

Like, one mimosa is nice, but I don't usually drink a lot of orange juice with breakfast. And the bottomless mimosa thing for me, I don't know. I just, if I was going to, you know, imbibe on a, you know, over-imbibe in the daytime, I don't think mimosas would be my drink of choice. I can also only have, like, one Bloody Mary because it's yummy, but, you know, that tomato juice and all that spice and stuff. So that's why I just stick with straight whiskey in the market. Yeah.

You know, I love Bloody Marys, but I'm with you. You know, one will do it, you know, certainly. Mimosas, I don't have them a lot. I'm never tempted to order them in a brunch situation. But every now and then, if we're at home watching a football game, usually if somebody is over here, we might get ourselves a, you know, a thing of orange juice and a bottle of champagne. And, man, that goes down quickly. When I'm left up to my own devices and I'm not ordering it from anybody, wow, they go down. I also really like orange juice, I think.

Well, that's the thing. I don't, like, mimosas aren't my thing per se, but what's happening is this very attractive couple in front of me just ordered a thing of champagne and orange juice, and now I want to have it just because they're having it. Yeah, yeah. I want to just be, I want to be eating and drinking whatever the people in front of me are eating and drinking. But what I need to be doing is thanking and being grateful to people like John Pincus in Chicago, Illinois. John was was at the.

hang that we had post a Chicago show we did Livewire in Chicago and I had taken quite the fall and my face was being held together by band-aids and John was a part of a very nice group of TVTL folks that came to the Livewire show and then we went out afterwards and it was really fun and John is the guy who dressed up like the I think it might be Burgess Meredith I learned anyway the guy in the Hitchcock or sorry the Twilight Zone thing we always talk about where the guy who just wanted to read books and then he's the only guy on earth and then he breaks his glasses. I thought I heard someone say that was Burgess Meredith.

That name rings a bell, but I'm not familiar with Burgess.

Burgess Meredith was famously Rocky's trainer.

Oh, go get him, Rocky. Oh, that's the same.

Was it a young Burgess Meredith? I'm going to keep thanking people. Would you mind doing just a little bit of research on that? Bree Kempa is in Lone Tree, Colorado. Take care of that tree. It's the only one you've got.

Wrapping in bubble tape.

That's right. I mean, the whole town goes down if you lose that tree, Bree. Thank you. Zach Rouse is in Flushing, New York. Thank you, Zach, for supporting the show. Also, Molly Huff is in Wheaton, Illinois. We've got a lot of Illinois going on lately on the show. Christian Stanley is in Hadley, Massachusetts. And then Joanne Rinaldi is in Cheviot, N.I.? Would that be Northern Islands? What's N.I.?

I didn't even look ahead at this one. Sorry, I was reading about the Twilight Zone. Oh, you know what?

I wonder if it's Chevy at Michigan, and there was just a typo.

That makes the most—I think that makes the most— Oh, no, no, because look, it's—oh, you don't have the country. That's in New Zealand. I have the country here, too, in my spreadsheet. Wow, you've been holding out on me.

Sorry, man.

You have all this information, and you've just been sitting back, drinking your mimosas,

letting me twist in the wind.

Yeah, sorry, I was also, I was looking at you, I mean, you did put me on assignment, right? Right. So I was on assignment. What did you find out? And I, I don't know. No, it's joking. I, um, it is, you're right, it's Burgess Meredith, the name of the episode is Time Enough at Last. Go get him, Brock! And it was, um, let's see, it was the eighth episode of the series, I believe.

Also, how can I sleep on this, considering the intro tape we played today? I believe Burgess Meredith was the penguin in the TV version of Batman. I'm sorry, Batman Mobile.

I didn't know that either. Well, you're my fact-checking cousin when it comes to Burgess Meredith. I sure am.

Who knew I was a font of Burgess Meredith knowledge?

There he is with his little top hat and cigarette holder. I wonder if I missed out by not using a cigarette holder when I smoked. If I got into cigarettes, it would be for the cigarette holder. You know me. I love a good affectation. Yeah, I could also see you getting into a pretty cool old-school ashtray. Like, the type of thing that's like a huge, like some sort of huge, heavy thing that sits on the living room table. And then, oh, my gosh, that duck is an ashtray? Maybe not.

And then my grandkids come over and they're like, remember Grandpa Luke? This is because, remember, we established on yesterday's show I'm having kids. Oh, yeah. They're fun. And then the grandkids, and they'll be like, oh, Uncle Luke. He was always. Wait, your grandkids call you Uncle Luke? Yeah, it's a family thing. They'll be like, Uncle Luke. Uncle Grandpa Luke. He had that ashtray. Remember that ashtray? and then he would smoke the cigarettes in that thing, and he was always trying to poison the Gotham City water supply.

Old Uncle Grandpa Luke. And you know one of the kids banged their head on the ashtray, right? And so, like, the one kid, whenever he comes over, he looks at it and he gets scared.

Right, and he's got a scar from that, and also the ashtray got a little chip out of it. But, you know, it's all part of the family lore of Uncle Grandpa Luke. Anyway, thanks, donors of the day. Thanks for making the show possible. Hello, and welcome to Top Story. All right, what is going on with the milk crate challenge, Andrew? Like, four days ago, I had no idea this was going on, and today I can't escape it. Literally, I was out on my little jog on the beach here, or, you know, near the beach, on a paved path. And what do I see in the grass? Milk crates. No one's, like, on them. They're just there. Like, I wrote on Twitter, are these crop circles? Like, did aliens just bring these milk crates?

I, you know, I don't follow trends very closely, which makes me perfect for this job, as we all know. But it's one of those things where, yeah, I think it was about three days ago, maybe, I just realized I'm seeing a lot of mentions of milk crates. And then I think finally it was Sarah Spain, ESPN's Sarah Spain, that broke me. She tweeted out some joke about Milk Crate, and maybe it was clickable, and all of a sudden I'm in TikTok, and I'm watching my first Milk Crate challenge video. I found it absolutely mesmerizing and terrifying. Next thing you know, I'm clicking on the hashtag, and I'm sitting out in my car. Outside my house In the hot sun with the air conditioning on Because I am terrible for the planet All around just watching TikTok video after TikTok video Of people trying to walk these These crates that are arranged In like a big staircase

I know that everyone's making This observation but I Don't know where they're getting the milk crates from Like are you going to A grocery store and asking the Dairy manager if you could have a few A few crates like how I don't know where I would even get old school milk crates from at this moment

do you know where there's an alley with dumpsters that would be the first place that I would look I feel like like here we have a little alleyway a couple of blocks from here outside of Rain City Burgers I would go there I cannot believe that place is

still in business hasn't that corner been slated for demolition for years yeah

for a long time and it's got that sign on the on the building that says you know this is coming down eventually I think that the pandemic has you know kind of stalled some things my beautiful but yes my beautiful teddy's i believe will be coming down i heard a rumor not not from anybody at teddy's please harvest that sign so i can give

it back to waltby actually i don't think he wants the sign he made it but yeah probably not but i'm

gonna throw that sign in a dumpster let me know yeah i heard a rumor again this is not from anybody associated with that restaurant but i heard a rumor from somebody else in the neighborhood that that that uh teddy's might be down to like a year and a half or something if that whole corner is going to be redeveloped anyway um that's depressing to think about but um i'll have to get like a hobby or something when that goes away but um anyway yeah i would look in those kind of places like in the city look for a place where there's an area where like restaurants and and uh the like are dumping their garbage in dumpsters and you probably find a few milk crates are reusable

this is the whole thing a milk crate is the thing that the milk came in but then they're they're durable and they reuse them they have a purpose i don't think people just stacking milk crates in the alley behind their business but they keep it's like it's like the soup containers that i

get when i order my pho yeah i save the first hundred but after a while it's kind of like they're they're not that valuable i mean i think now that you just said you saw some today although i'm not clear if those had already been harvested for the milk crate challenge or not but like keep an eye open as you walk around portland with this in mind um on your jogs or whatever i think you'll start to see them and it does not seem like a rare occurrence to me to see like a not Not, you know, as many. I'm trying to think how many you need for the Milk Crate Challenge. I know the tallest stack is usually eight, so you need probably about 20 of those things. But you'll see one or two kicking around the city, certainly. Would you say your milk crates bring all the boys to the yard?

Yeah. That's actually a pretty good show title. I just sent you, although we already have a good show title, which is Naving My Gazel.

I do like that. Nothing's going to top that, is it?

Okay, so two things. One, I thought Conan O'Brien had a pretty great tweet today. He said, I'm waiting to take the milk crate challenge until it has full FDA approval. That's a great joke. It's a pretty good spoof. And then the ultimate, like, sort of intersection of the – that laugh is always longer than I expected to be. There's always that last person in the crowd who just really got the joke. Just having a great time. That person just got the joke. Yeah, they came in late. The ultimate crossover is I saw this Sam Sanders, actually, my new Twitter follow, who is still not following me.

Not following you back, yeah. How long are you going to let that sit? If he doesn't follow you back in the next week, are you going to stop following?

No, because I think he's actually – for instance, he generated this thing that's now content on our show. It was somebody doing the milk crate challenge, and when they got to it, they jumped on something, and it then did a gender reveal, which is really – I mean, that just sums up basically our society at this point is milk crate challenge into gender reveal.

So it was a real gender reveal? It wasn't somebody making fun of gender reveals?

No, it was a very excited person who somehow, in going up the crates, did that successfully. So that was a thing because people keep falling and just absolutely wrecking themselves. It's such a bad fall. I know. It's just – it's because there's just – there's no way to – there are different levels of falling. And this is one where there's just absolutely no way to kind of try to sort of do it gently or help yourself out. You're just pretty much – your ribs are just going to land on some milk crate that's now at an angle. It just looks so painful.

You know, I saw a tweet. I went on a little journey when I wasn't watching the fair cam earlier. By the way, a lot of people out now. Oh, that's good. Nature is healing. The sun is out.

Nature is healing and eating fried jams.

I know, and then it's going to need more healing. I'm not seeing any umbrellas.

anymore. Boy, those ambulances are just following you around, aren't they? It's a life guard. Oh, really? Yeah, dude. That's what I'm hearing? I'm at the beach, my friend. It was, I thought it was an ambulance as well. It was a red pickup truck that said lifeguard on the side, and it was racing down the Ocean Boulevard here.

But I went on this little journey on Twitter. I believe it was our friend Brandy Brown who retweeted this. I figured, because she's all things Minnesota State Fair. Oh, no, no, this isn't stay fair related this is um this is crate challenge related um it was video of uh it was a police officer is a white police officer doing the the milk crate challenge and there's a bunch of neighborhood kids around and i believe the officer is the only person who's white there it's a bunch of like young black people and they're and they're all like having fun and hooting and hollering as he's as he's doing it and he gets to the top and he makes it he crests the top one and then he walks down uh two more and then from the camera angle it looks like um a kid on the other side of the crates runs up to it and kicks it out from underneath him and he goes spilling and tumbling hard and of course this is all over the internet and people are like you know making a lot of comments about after the police and what have you but then somebody tweeted this isn't what happened here is the same exact thing from another angle and the kid was just spoofing he was just spoofing he ran up to it twice and kind of did fake kicks but it's so clear that he never touched the crate but i guarantee you 99 of the people who see that tweet are going to think that this kid kicked these crates out from underneath the cop i feel like there is an

acab crate joke to be made but i can't my brain refuses to cooperate maybe because it knows that's a bad idea did you see the um speaking of kind of like angles on things did you see the video that looked like a guy running in the olympics i think it was in the marathon competition had just gone and basically like you know they're running past one of those water stations and there's just like 10 like um cups of water for everyone and this guy just goes he just runs and knocks them all off because he doesn't want his competitors to have any water but yes and it looked so bad and the internet went after this guy and then someone took the time to zoom in on it and what you can see is he's literally trying to grab each bottle and he's just missing. I see. Because he's trying to run his fastest and he's just, his timing is off so he's like miss, miss, miss and each one as he tries to grab it and misses he just knocks it off but if you see it like at normal speed from far away it just looks like he just completely cleared the table which I have to say is kind of a jerk move but also kind of genius. Kind of. No it's

It's a huge jerk move. It's a huge jerk move.

But even, I mean, but it's a competition. Is it a jerk move to run faster than everyone else? No, but to deny somebody, like everybody should have access to that water.

It's important.

You know what? You don't have what it takes to win, Andrew.

I thought you were going to say I'm not a runner. I don't understand the culture.

That's what I do when I'm on my jog anywhere. Like later when I go on my jog, I go past Chad's. I'll knock every drink off of everyone's table. Hey, how about this, by the way?

They never found the woman who created the huge crash in the Tour de France? Wait, were you off that date? Did you and I talk about that? I might have talked about that with Genevieve or Phyllis.

Wait, I thought they found that person, the person who had the sign that was in French that was like a jokey sign, and then they knocked the dude over, and then that whole crash happened. They never found that person?

Well, I don't, maybe you got an update that I didn't, I mean, but I know that they didn't find her in the couple of days after, because we talked about it on the show, and that's right, I think you were out, and they believed that she had made her way to an airport. The sign said something, it was like some, I believe, German greeting to her grandparents, I want to say? Yes, something like that. Or maybe it was a French greeting to her grandparents in Germany. Yeah, I think it was grandparent related. Yeah, but then they didn't catch her immediately. Was there a follow-up story that I missed, or did that person just really, I don't know if I should say get away with it. I don't think that she was trying to hurt anybody, but she was definitely trying not to get caught.

That's just amazing in this day and age that anyone could get away with anything when their face is on camera.

Yeah.

You know what I mean? It just feels like and the amount of attention that that story got to like it just feels like there's no nobody gets away with that kind of thing anymore. Somebody drops a dime.

You know what? Here's a no. They got her. Police arrest Tour de France fan who they say caused the crash. Arrest? Let's see. This was in June. Okay, it's already almost September, and this story came out in late June, so I'm just really late to it. Police in France arrested a woman who they say is a spectator who held up the sign and caused the serious crash. They said they were going to arrest the person. I almost feel like, I mean.

Maybe a fine, but arresting, I guess, because she was eluding capture. Probably that's now more. I mean, is there a specific crime called holding a sign that knocks over a cyclist?

They might have specific laws around the tour. I don't know. By the way, the woman ended up turning herself in. So the woman 30 turned herself in. And she turned her grandma in, which is weird. Yeah. Well, I think she tried to turn in the grandma's fault. Old Uncle Grandma Luke. Old Uncle Grandma Aunt Luke.

ABC has ordered a number of episodes, 10 episodes, of Judge Steve Harvey. Yeah. Where he is going to be, it's being called a courtroom comedy series. The cases will be real. Steve Harvey will welcome real-life people into his courtroom to rule on conflicts ranging from family disputes and sour friendships to actual small claims. The network released a really, I think, amazing statement. Steve plays by his own rules, basing his courtroom on his own life experiences and some good old common sense, said the network. It's going to be on, I guess, ABC in 2022. I thought it was kind of interesting, though. They mentioned in this as a perk, all of the awards and judgments will be paid by the production, not by the defendant. That sort of, to me, kind of ruins it then, because if, you know, if if Judge Steve Harvey rules against someone because they're being, you know, a jerk but they don't actually have to pay for the thing the tv show pays for it that makes it

uninteresting to me the ruling that is an interesting detail but also did you notice when i sent this to you in the email i put quotes around something like quote unquote real cases or something i think the headline from variety is comedian in courtroom to rule on actual cases But I went in and added quotation marks around actual cases because I don't know – oh, Michael Schneider wrote this piece. I know him. Sorry. Old friend of mine from KCRW. I like him. I thought you were going to say Michael Richards was up for this hosting gig. No, sorry. That was a weird personal outburst from me. I kind of forgot about Michael Schneider. Anyway, which is a rude thing to say about somebody I like. But, yeah, I just sort of figured that they're not really bringing – I mean he's not really ruling on cases. I mean they might be actual situations people are in, but these aren't like situations that have pulled – have been pulled out of a court of law and are instead going to be judged on this TV show, right? Yes.

I assume it's somebody ruined somebody's carpet or said they were going to pay for a thing and didn't or whatever. But, again, I don't know what the rules were on the people's court. But to me, if the judgment – if the person who is deemed to have harmed someone else, if the judgment is you have to pay for the dry cleaning or the whatever, that's kind of an interesting outcome. If it's just I, Steve Harvey, declare you're in the wrong, here's $1,000 to your friend paid for by Disney, I just feel like the stakes are too low then for me as a viewer. I want people to pay real money. I want real financial pain for the person who's deemed to have been the jerk. What if the producers pay, but the producers also beat the living snot out of the person? Okay, that I would take. I just want there to be consequences. What if Judge Steve Harvey decides that you owe someone money, but then the production pays? You have to walk the milk crate. Yes. In court, you have to go up on the milk crate. That's your punishment. I feel like we didn't talk about the milk crate challenge enough.

Would you do it? I was tempted when I Yeah you're somebody who's pretty self You're pretty confident

I'm overly confident and I also Am a show off in certain ways So when I saw those milk crates Here in Santa Barbara A little part of me thought could I do it But then another part of me Remembered watching people just get the absolute Shit beat out of them and I thought there's No upside to me trying this But when I saw them and I emailed you by the way A picture of the crates when I saw them The first thought that went through my mind was I could probably do that.

I mean, that's the thing. When people start off, I watch so many of these.

It's like the one TikTok trend you're more up on than I am.

Yes, I've seen so many people of different body types doing this. And I mean, the fall looks so painful because falling from that height wouldn't be great anyway. But then just like all these plastic things with edges and corners are below you. I mean, it just looks so painful. I have not seen anybody like not get up from it. Maybe the film ends too quickly, but it is one of those things where I understand why people think that they can be the one to do it. One thing that I've noticed is lots of people fall after they've hit the peak. So I think what happens is.

everybody thinks it'll be easier on the way down. If I can just get to that highest one, which I believe that highest point is eight crates high, I think, people will often just make it there, and then they pause a second, but then you can see them relax, Luke. You can see them think, my god, I did it, and then one or two steps down, that's where everything comes crashing down on you, because you think, oh my god, I've already achieved it, and nay, my friend, you have not. You have only gotten halfway there um so to answer my own question i don't want to do it myself but i do want to be a milk crate challenge coach if there are any openings i would apply for that because i have done the

research but it looks like you know what it looks like hard fall my friends remember that game at the fair to take it back to all things state fair there's that ladder that rope ladder that people think they can climb like it's it's almost it's it's not so much vertical as almost horizontal oh yeah yeah yeah i know you're talking about it's almost like a net almost like a spider web

of rope sort of right um i the ones i've seen are are just kind of a oh it's just okay straight okay yeah yeah no you're right it is like a rope ladder and it'll twist on you it'll flip you

upside down okay yeah i know you're talking but then you got the always there's always the carny who knows how to win whatever the game is and they always get you because like you just see them do it whether it's like shoot the basketball in the rim that's too small or climb the rope i've watched the dude climb the rope thing and it's there's some knack to it that like no normal human has

yeah yeah um you're right it does sort of it seems like something that is achievable i and not to bring it back to this but like i'm so much more conscientious of falling now since i had my big fall in the spring like i think about it all the time like yesterday i was coming home from somewhere and i was walking and it was going to be about i don't know less than a mile walk let's say seven tenths of a mile or something not not far at all um and i passed one of those electric scooters that i love that i've been waiting to come to seattle for so long i loved riding them in minnesota but i was like yeah but if i do fall on it like like i'm not dreading this walk home right now the scooter seems fun but also it could really ruin my day or possibly the next six months of my life if i do have a spill on that thing it's like i never thought about falling as much as i do

now i was doing this show in portland with you recently and i look out on that street uh cooch which is also where all the ambulances are and somebody just came at like 11 in the morning flying down cooch street i don't know if this person had like somehow like hacked the scooter so it could go like for it looked like this guy was going 40 miles per hour and by the way i don't really know why this is relevant so please hold your fire um but this this this person appeared to be i guess i would say they appeared to be maybe somebody who was born physically male but appeared to be sort of fluid he had on what i'm trying to say is this person had the coolest look i've ever seen he was wearing like a half shirt they were wearing like a half shirt and were just like looked so perfectly poised and unfazed in their half shirt and like kind of booty shorts going 40 miles an hour through an intersection by the way because it's like this coot street crosses like mlk so and then just onto the bridge and i just thought like first also i believe this person had on some kind of like platformy kind of shoes like this person's look was really dialed in that is so cool and just they were just zipping along they were just killing it at life on this scooter and like i just again the reason i kind of bring up their look was because there was a certain pose going on it was just also just like really added to the whole experience uh-huh it was amazing attitude they go along with it was so much tood oh i love it yes and but all i thought was like i would i'd probably die if i tried to do that like this person was going at a speed i felt like if they crashed it could have been really dangerous and my takeaway from it was like wow that's amazing you have this figured out and also i should probably never do that yes exactly i want to put on a helmet just looking at you i want to put on

Like, you know, like you see those motorcycle riders who, you know, deck out in jeans and leather because if you do fall, like, that's what's, you know, that can protect you. When you see somebody who isn't, like, fully, like, you know, fully armored up like that, zipping along. Like, I honestly get a physiological reaction now. I saw it's died. I actually thought about this yesterday because I had it for a second. And I saw somebody. Oh, somebody was practicing his skateboard tricks right outside my house, like, you know, on the busy street of Roosevelt. But it was the middle of the day and it was a little bit quiet. And there are these kind of curbs that protect the bike lane from the traffic lane of cars. And he was practicing. He was just like waiting for the traffic to slow down and then practicing hopping up on this curb on his on his skateboard. And I got that feeling in my gut of just like, oh, like this, like this. I think people Is it part of like a sympathetic or empathetic nervous system or something?

I think it's your sympathetic nervous system or something.

Yeah, I could feel him like falling. And after my first clumsy fall, or I should say when that happened in the spring, I was getting that constantly. I remember seeing an older man kind of just jogging up the middle of a side street around here. But he was kind of shuffling his feet in this way. that made me kind of shiver because i just thought like all i could feel like i could just look at him and feel the pavement scraping up his knees and everything oh man that happens a lot less to me now i've kind of got i've gotten over it a lot i think tim robinson from i think you should leave

is a really good skateboarder i didn't know this until i just saw this clip of him like doing a pretty complicated trick at least it would be complicated for me and it was weird because i really only think of him in the context of I think you should leave where he's always being kind of a moron and like to see him in normal life being actually a cool guy it was like weird it was like hard for me to wrap my mind around because I just think of him as the guy who is you know the guy who is not in on the joke who is way too into Dan Flashes who is like you know has that personality and then to see him just IRL just being badass I was almost like I don't know if I want to see this because I want him to I want him to just live in the world of the guy who's

you know taking it to now i can lift my son guy yeah right or i was hoping i would like to see him skateboarding all that um heavy makeup when he's playing the prank show i don't want to be here anymore yeah i don't want to be around anymore somebody i don't even know that carl have this but somebody i follow on instagram that's right his name is carl havoc took they photoshopped just the image of him like you know in his full his full outfit and makeup and everything and then put him on Mars, like in the comic book, The Watchman. Remember the character? Yeah. What's his name? I'm stumbling around here so bad.

Mr. Plutonium or something? Manhattan, Dr. Manhattan. Yeah.

Anyway, so they replaced – Played by Billy Crudup in the film, I think? They replaced him and just said, I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to be around anymore. He's just shuffling along in the comic version of the –

That would be a great Halloween costume.

So, oh, my God, you're right. I think that I don't know how I don't think Halloween will be very normal again this year. But if it was a normal Halloween, I feel like a lot of the parties that people like you and I would go to if I were to go to Halloween parties would be a lot of I think you can leave stuff.

Right. I mean, it just really lends itself to that. And you're right. That's the, as I often say, the Venn diagram overlap of like things, the kind of people that we hang out with and the kind of things those people like is pretty much Carl Havoc.

Right.

All right, let's do a little music for your weekend before I go just absolutely punish some quinoa.

Wow, this really flew by. I was actually ready for you to go into top stories there. I didn't realize that we're already at the end of the show here. Yes, we are, my friend. Well, I've had a lot of fun, though.

Time flies when you're having fun.

Yeah, I'm sorry to see you go.

I'm also, like, Lee, I left a series of notes and norts, a series of norts outside the hotel door because, God bless the housekeeping staff, but they kept coming and knocking and they kept saying, I have a late checkout. And then the front desk called and I said, remember, we talked about the late checkout.

I thought they denied your late checkout. I thought they said no.

No, they didn't deny it as much as charged me extra.

Oh, I see. Well, then they definitely should leave you alone.

Which counts as a denial to me because it wasn't free.

Yeah, right.

And then I've got to figure out – I've got to explain to CBS why it's $50 more. It's like, well, Larry Alardo, it's because I do a podcast, and because I was doing a TV story for your company, I had to stay in my room late to do my other job. So this should really be a CBS expense. Right.

No, actually, I think that's very fair. I have some music for your weekend here if you'd like me to kick some things off.

That's definitely real and definitely a thing.

there is a band that usually I would not play on this show because I think they're Australian and I think that a couple of the members are actually maybe even more famous for being in other Australian bands I think when I've mentioned them on the show before listener Jamie in Mississippi who knows a lot about music says that some of the members of this band are very um very celebrated the band is called Tropical F Storm only the F is a word I'm not going to say here and a lot of their music is very experimental sounding and straight up noisy sounding at times, but there's a song that came out, I think relatively recently in the past couple of months called new Romeo agent. And when I hit play on this, it's going to sound weird and noisy and uncomfortable at first, but it really, really settles into something nice. Take a less, uh, Luke, can we start the show over? Take a listen to this.

I'm going to just place a Nort outside my hotel room door and, uh, then we can get back.

and knaving at our own gazels. Take a luster to this. New Romeo Agent by Tropical F-Storm.

F-Storm in government.

Trust the process. Thank you, Joel.

We left a message for the master It was too lonely for us undercover We found a poet's love And told to choose one side or the other Heartache won't show up on your face Free from the concept of a mother Do you find a different kind of first base? Trade one secret for another When you hear the sound You ask a question I can't answer How good we end up with markers Don't ask what you don't want to know

I don't know what happens with the song here so I'll just fade it out in case it gets weird again. I was liking that, by the way. Right? It really does settle into something.

Yeah, I think I actually have a higher tolerance for things that are a little jangly or unusual-sounding than you might think, but it has to be a certain kind of thing that's jangly and unusual-sounding, if that makes any sense.

Yeah, and again, I think a lot of the stuff in here probably wouldn't... I mean, a lot of the stuff doesn't ever kind of get melodic like that. Sometimes it gets a little bit more screamy or even sort of a kind of a talky thing. But anyway, yeah, I don't know. I don't want to say whether or not you'd like all their stuff. I certainly don't like all their stuff, but I really love that song. And again, Tropical F-Storm is the name of the band, which is, you know, not the most inviting name.

I would like to suggest a song by a hip-hop artist. It goes by the name 1B Low, like a person being low, O-N-E, new word, B-E. new word lo okay one below the song is called bars and be yawn clearly one below really likes to play with words yeah because bars and beyond is not spelled yawned is like you're yawning y-a-w-n-e-d uh this song just popped up on like a spotify playlist or algorithm uh that i was driving around ohi yesterday i was like this is actually i'm kind of vibing with this i guess this dude is from michigan uh and uh he is this is what wikipedia is telling me he's one half of rap duo Binary Star, who I have not heard of, but I really like this track from One Below. Take a listen to this.

Yeah, just imagine my words kind of vivid. Now, if you close your eyes, you can see this while you listen. Experience at different periods how I was living. Was it about the choices or the options I was given? Growing up, I didn't have the fattest of the children, but we lived in the same hood. Lame school system, plus we had television. My mother had wisdom, but I ran with the rebels. I could hear the devils whisper. The teachers couldn't hold my attention. I was distant I focused on the posters On my wall Caught a vision Of my words Fall in rhythm Hip-hop made a difference Making alms ain't the mission I'm just saying What I'm feeling My uncle's life in prison At times I would visit I made bad decisions Almost had to do it with him My mind's found a weapon In my dressing You know it ain't impressive So the rest is history I got it fixed In the sunshine

This is my life In the sunshine

Pretty good, right? Oh, I love it. I love that production. Yeah, it sounds like Kanye produced it I was going to say exactly those words. Yeah, I love that a lot. I also meant to say at the beginning of Music for Your Weekend that my real music for your weekend this week is the Music for the Weekend song that you played last week, Quiet on Set. That Remy Wolfe song, I went berserker with it. That and I can't remember what the B-side to it is. Grumpy Old Man. Yes. Yeah, Grumpy Man or something. I am just fascinated by Remy Wolfe. I mean, what a talent. What a person. It just, and again, I know I'm just so old, but I just kept on thinking, like, good for these kids. Like, just redefining sort of everything, genre, identity. I don't know exactly what's going on with Remy Wolfe, but I love it all, man.

I've heard three songs so far, and they all sound like a different genre. Totally. I know. That's what's amazing. Old Man Listens to Cloud. That is such a good title.

How come some days we don't have any good show titles? We have no titles today. But you're right. It was Old Man Listens to Cloud. Just listening to it over and over and over and just thinking, like, you're the coolest person I've ever met. And I've never met Remy.

so um i hope that we haven't actually already done this email once in this song i was looking around for some music for your weekend suggestions and i found one that was actually from a kind of a long time ago uh it's from listener kirsten who says my lovely sister emily is also copied here she's the only other 10 i know and she shared this song with me today and uh the song is by walter martin and uh it's uh this song is i've of course in cutting and pasting it i think i may have actually deleted the name of the song but it is the song andrew that's about tall ships by walter martin if you search for that i think it'll come up um this is i'll just keep reading kirsten's email um the title is is apropos for the tbtl world and walter martin previously of the walkman i believe you are right about that by the way kirsten we i don't know if you care too

much we have done this exact email before though because i oh no but i have a way of checking these things because um they're all included in the tbtl newsletters so i was just like searching for walter martin so back in march we did do this i mean i don't know if that takes it i mean that kind of puts you in an awkward place i apologize if i should have just pretended not to have this no no i'd rather know i would rather know but it's been you know march 26 which i believe was my grandma's birthday by the way that would have been her 99th birthday um we could play it again Again, I don't want to be a total buzzkill. How about a different Walter Martin song?

How about a different Walkman song?

Well, hey, do you want me to play something? Remember I told you that this is kind of like a music for your weekend. Our listener David had suggested some songs by the LAXs.

Oh, yeah, from the Smittens. You played one note of it the other day, and I tried to identify it incorrectly. How do you feel about that? I feel great about it. All right, so let me do this. Sorry, Kirsten. You already got your moment in the sun

Yeah And so I need to find this here Sorry I'm typing I believe it's called Skinny Dipping Is specifically The song that he wanted me to start with But it is, I don't know a lot about this band They seem like a young Very LA band Very kind of Southern California Poppy Didn't you say their name is LAX's Yeah so it's LA As David said in his email to me I believe that stands for Los Angeles and then X's like your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend or whatever so they're LAX's great name and this song that we'll go out with is Skinny Dipping Compliments of David

alright well good save Andrew thank you for catching that and suggesting something else and thank you everyone for listening to the show this week we really appreciate it we're going to be back here on Monday with more imaginary radio for you until then have a great weekend stay safe take care of yourselves and please remember no mountain too tall and good luck to all
