Let's meet the Smith family. Hi, what's your name? My name is Bill. G'day, Bill, and what's your name? My name is Ben. G'day, Ben, what's your name? I'm Janiel. G'day, Daniel. No, Janiel. What? Janiel. You mean Daniel? Janiel? Janiel. Janiel. What do you mean, Janiel? Think Daniel. Think January. Smooch them together. It's Janiel. Janiel. My name is Janiel. All right, and what's your name? My name is Danuary. T-B-T-L!

And I stand in and lean back and then just bam, and it sails away out through the universe like a radio wave that goes past Saturn and Jupiter, Pluto, through the black hole and into many other galaxies yet named.

Call Kenny Loggins because you're in the danger zone from Top Gun. Just be careful. No.

And, uh, uh, right on you. Midnight, cowboys. That's not a thing.

All right, hello, good morning, and welcome, everyone, to a Wednesday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

I was just calling about the, uh, too beautiful to be heard. I can't believe you're still on the air.

My name is Luke Burbank. I'm your host.

There's a hidden rally ranch party in my mouth.

Coming to you from Pleasanton, California.

California got sunshine.

I'm not sure which freeway my room looks out upon, but some beautiful Bay Area freeway that looks like just about every other freeway that you'll see in California when you get just outside of the greater San Francisco area. Just the perfect backdrop, my friends, for bringing you episode 3,551 in a collector's series. Let the fun begin. I had something happen this morning here in Pleasanton. I believe I was technically in Dublin, California at the time. Erin Gobra. I had something happen in Dublin, California that legitimately terrified me this morning.

I'm scared half to death.

It's I use a lot of hyperbole when hosting this show, but I don't think I'm not being, as they say, extra when I say I am sort of surprised that I'm sitting here talking into this microphone, able to make the show happen today because of an incident that I experienced this morning, which I'm going to tell you about coming up here. Also, remember that Art Collective Mischief? They did the thing where they said that they were putting actual human blood into some kind of like fake Nike shoes that were related to Lil Nas X's album release. And it was a whole thing. Anyway, they're back at it again.

Well, I guess this is the part where the art gets made.

They've done this actually, I think, kind of interesting project with an Andy Warhol original and a bunch of copies. We'll tell you what's going on with that. But also, Paul Rudd has been named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

What a fun, sexy time for you.

And while that's not a thing that we would normally cover on this show, the way that it was actually announced was kind of genius. So we will talk about that and play a little audio coming up, plus emails and vmails. And this guy, the longest-running co-bro of the show, may be best known for his depictions of the tall ships. He is an activist and house party enthusiast. And speaking of sexy, sexy men... Amy, please send in my 11 o'clock sexy man. He is Andrew Walsh, and he is joining me right now from the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Good morning, my friend.

Good morning, Luke. I just, um... I'm not going to give it away. I'm not going to give it away, but I just did a little Google search and came up with what I think to be kind of a dazzling detail about sexiest men alives of the past. Do you call them emeritus? Sexiest men alive emeritus? I will share that with you later.

Is it like being a governor or president where you have to always refer to them as your sexiness?

That's my understanding. Even if time has moved on and they no longer are the reigning sexiest man alive, You have to greet them with that honorific. What happened to you? Why did I almost have to do the show by myself today, apparently?

Okay. So yesterday when I was at the airport, actually, so I had two things happen to me in the last 24 hours that were kind of weird. One was I was at the airport yesterday.

in Portland, waiting for my flight down here to San Francisco. And I had, of course, my mask on. I was in the airport and a guy approaches me and sits down next to me and says, are you Matt Haney? And I said, excuse me? He goes, are you Matt Haney? And I said, no, no, I'm not Matt Haney. And he goes, you're not San Francisco City Supervisor Matt Haney. And I was like, no, I'm really not. And he goes, because I live in the Tenderloin and i've got some real complaints for you and i said well i'm pretty relieved to not be matt haney but that's not me and he sat there for about 10 seconds just staring at me not believing that i was in fact not san francisco city supervisor in charge of the tenderloin in san francisco matt haney like he was really he thought that i was this guy pretending to not

be this guy because i didn't want to get into it i'm looking at a photo of matt haney right now and um i'm struggling to see the resemblance the way his hair is styled looks a little bit like yours but that is it i mean he first of all he has a beard so it's a little bit hard for me to see him without the beard at least the photo i'm looking at i assume that you've gone a little bit deeper on this than i have have you been googling matt haney all night um well andrew that's a

personal kind of decision that i don't feel like i need to talk about here on the show i did later google the guy and i have to say i think our hair is pretty similar and since i was masked you know i thought that i looked more like him or he looked more like me than i expected if that makes sense like i expected it to be for some reason my expectation was it would look nothing like me and i just did an image search and i saw a number of pictures i actually didn't see him with a beard but the pictures that i saw i was like i can kind of see it okay yeah beardless

that yeah the beardless and boy that beard adds some age on him too his official photo is like a headshot with a beard but doing a google uh just a google search like you say beardless i see it a

lot more a lot more yeah and i think he's actually uh much more handsome than i am so it would be sort of an upgrade because i think he's a nice looking fellow but again i think our hair yeah is very similar. So if you just, if you were, and I was flying to San Francisco. So I can kind of understand why this guy put it together that way. But then what was funny was that he appeared to be unconvinced that I wasn't the guy he wanted to yell at. But that was not the thing that had me terrified this morning. I decided to try to get out for a little trail run this morning. And so I found on the internet someplace, I think it's called Martin Canyon Creek Trail, and it's technically in Dublin, California. It's like a mile from my hotel, and it's just described as a nice little like three-mile jog or something. So I was like, cool. So I got up this morning. I drove over there, and I'm on my jog, and I thought it was interesting that I did not encounter anyone else on this trail. It was a very well-maintained trail. It was obviously like the city had spent money making sure it was sort of well taken care of, and I guess I thought I'd see some people and their dogs or other joggers, but I didn't, and I was just running along, and I got into an area where it was a very thick, wooded area. Again, there was a very easy to follow trail, but it was just pretty secluded. And across the canyon from me, there was kind of like a look like a kind of a smallish ranch where they had like, you know, cows and a couple of horses and whatever. And I hear some dogs barking and I'm like, OK, they must they must be the like cattle dogs that live on that ranch. That's like pretty far away from me. It's, you know, a quarter mile across this canyon. And so I kind of keep running. I'm like, boy, I'm glad those dogs are over there. And I keep running and I go about another half mile and the dogs are still barking. There's like three or four of them. And it's not getting more distant. you know like i'm i'm running and i'm still hearing it and then i run another quarter mile and i'm expecting it to be very faint if i can hear it at all and it's the same volume and it's not like kind of a a dog the normal sound of like a dog that is behind a gate or a fence at someone's in someone's yard and that dog is trying to be a guard dog it has a different tone to it it's kind of higher pitched it's sort of more like a yip i don't know if it was yipping or skiffing scritching yeah but

And I just like I kind of keep going and I keep just hoping that I either won't hear the sound anymore or I will be able to note that it is getting fainter, which means the dogs that I'm hearing are actually contained in someone's yard or by some sort of fence. And therefore I can get away from them. And I just keep hearing it, Andrew. And I go another maybe mile. and i still hear it and i get to a gate that is the end of the trail and it has a big sign on it that says active coyotes in the area oh shit it says like it's like keep your dog on a leash um do not feed coyotes and here's the number to call when you encounter aggressive coyotes And my thought was, could we put this sign at the beginning of the trail as opposed to the end of the trail? Because what has clearly happened is, I don't know, a quarter mile behind me, there is a pack of coyotes that did not like me running through their turf. And while they're not, I never saw them. OK, so it wasn't like they cornered me. But I'm I'm in this ravine now. I'm at the end of this trail. back the other way are coyotes and i'm like huh i wonder what i wonder how we're gonna get out of this one burbs um and i was like should i like calling 9-1-1 felt extreme but there was no way in god's green earth i was running back the ox of the plan had been to run out and back on this trail and and even when i heard the barking before i put it together that it was coyotes i was like I don't really want to go back that way, but maybe whatever's going on will have settled down. At that point, I was still sort of thinking maybe these are someone just has a dog in their yard and it's very barky. But then the end of the trail came and I realized, oh, no, this whole situation is still very active. I cannot go back from whence I came.

Let me ask you a quick question. You said that you didn't want to call 9-1-1, which I agree with. But didn't you say that there was a different number on the sign to call or did it say call 9-1-1 if you hear the coyotes? It had a different number to call

But to be honest with you I didn't even actually register this Until I went back and looked at the photo later Like I snapped a photo I had my phone with me I snapped a photo of this coyote sign Honestly I was thinking I'll send this to Andrew Because I'm going to tell him about this on the show But I didn't even put it together Also I don't know what I mean I don't know what the plan would have been then You know I called the number And then at some point They come in in the helicopter yeah no i mean i think they just right they just kind of i think probably would you know put it on a list somewhere to send out some you know people that work for the city or the parks department to just kind of keep an eye out um so anyway i didn't think to call that number either i just was like so to the right of me is a ravine and to to my left is a very steep hill like almost kind of too steep to walk up but i was like i guess this is what we're doing now so i just start bushwhacking up this crazy steep hill and i'm just trying to get to some sort of civilization and i keep going up this hill and then finally i see towards the top of this very very long steep muddy hill some houses of course these houses are all like castles like they're built way up off the ground they're on like on these raised kind of foundations and then they're very fenced probably to keep the coyotes out i don't know like it's not like i just could walk into someone's backyard like i would have to if i when i finally got up to where the couple of houses were in order like i couldn't it felt like i couldn't go around them because they were massive and they were all fenced with really intense fences that were themselves sitting on like eight feet of concrete if that makes any sense like they this was like a heavily terrorist fortified situation so now i'm walking along i'm kind of below these houses but above where the coyotes are and it's muddy and i'm telling you andrew if i would have slipped i kept feeling myself almost sliding if i would have started sliding i would have rolled down the hill back into where the it's worth like i would not have been able to stop myself once i started going do the coyotes

are just at the bottom with their mouths open and you just roll right into their maw one of them

put on a tied on like a bib and had a fork and a knife which i thought was overkill i was like what was the tongue situation just politely in the mouth or out of the mouth you might be surprised to know lolling out of the mouth with just covered in saliva yeah that's a hungry coyote you can tell

You

You got to look for those signs. Yeah. So I was like – again, I was like I was – things – I felt in less danger at the moment, but I also felt like this could go sideways as well. Then I was like, do I try to yell up to one of these houses and ask for help? But again, my sense of embarrassment is more powerful than my sense of fear of coyotes. I just didn't want to have to start screaming to someone because then, I don't know, that would have made me feel embarrassed. So I pick my way along this ridge line, and I finally get to where there is a climbable fence. I climb a fence into someone's yard, and I'm rehearsing my speech the whole time of what I'm going to say to them because someone's going to come out and be like, you're trespassing right now. I mean, best case, right? Worst case, someone's standing their ground, Andrew. So I'm like practicing my speech, which is going to be like, I'm so sorry I'm in your yard. I think I encountered some coyotes. I can't go back on the trail. Please take pity on me or whatever. I hop this fence. I'm in someone's yard for a very brief amount of time, and I like kind of jog out of there, and I make it into like a cul-de-sac. And I will tell you, I have never been more relieved to be back in civilization Because it was, that was pretty sketchy there for me The other thing that's just a kind of funny footnote to the story is So I jog through these neighborhoods now Trying to get back to where the rental car is parked And I realize at some point that I'm now going to cross the trail again But it's like way before the coyotes So it's back where like I don't think it's the scary part of the trail And it's frankly nice running on the trail. I would rather be doing that than running on the streets. So I jump back on the trail. I'm jogging along, and I look over to my left across the canyon, Andrew, and I see the largest wild boar I have ever. I'm going to send you a picture of this thing. The video I made is not going to do it justice, but this was the largest wild boar I've ever seen in my life. And I have been on a hunting trip with New Zealand wild boar hunters for a radio story, and this thing was bigger than any of those wild boars I've ever seen. Just trucking along this hillside, this giant—and this was not like a—this was not a pig, you know, that, like, escaped someone's farm. This was a straight-up wild boar, like a razorback.

Now, I was going to make a somewhat rude joke at the beginning of the show about Pleasanton. Now, I know you're not technically in Pleasanton right now, but I was going to say a town like Pleasanton gives me it makes me a little bit nervous. It sounds like they're hiding something. You know, if you've got to name yourself Pleasanton, what are you hiding? And I feel like they are. They're overcorrecting this part of the country here, the part of the state. Like, this is a terrifying place to be. So they named it Pleasanton.

You know, I've been to Pleasanton one time before. Carrie and I went to a wedding out here, and it was lovely. We were, like, in wine country. But I'm with you in that any time you name a place like Normalville or Everything's Fine Here, Berg, you're like, you know, I mean, Fansville. I mean, you even know what's going on in Fansville? Nothing good. That's a dark situation, too, yeah. Actually, that really is kind of – it's funny because that campaign, that Dr. Pepper campaign has continued on of this town called Fansville. But it really does have – there is a sadness. There's a melancholy to that place.

It's ominous. I feel like it's all got this kind of ominous overtone. Like it's funny, but everybody just stares a little bit too long, and the lighting is always just a little bit too dark. I love it.

yeah i'm surprised that like somebody didn't uh i'm sending you this picture of this wild boar yeah um and then later i'll send you a picture of the uh of the coyote sign although you can kind of figure it out yeah who knew because the thing is andrew as i mentioned the top of the show i am like i'm sort of surrounded by freeways right now i'm kind of in this and again peace and love to pleasant in california but i'm just in this very very urban is not the right word i'm in this very forgettable like ex-urban office park environment where there's just like a bunch of freeways twisting around me there's like albertson's and safeways corporate headquarters are around here there's these very depressing buildings of something called work day which Seems like inter Intertrod Like it seems like The place you would work In office space Mm-hmm Is it actually called Intertrod It is not It is called Workday Okay I think Isn't intertrod The actual place In office space That he works at Oh I didn't You know No, I didn't know that. I've seen that movie, but I didn't know that that's what it's called. That's a really good name. Isn't that a great name? It really is.

It really tells you all you need. I don't know what this Workday place does. Oh, it's Enterprise Management Cloud. Cloud Fog. What are you clouding?

There's a chance that we use Workday. I'm not even joking. Like for APM?

Is it possible that our show relies on Workday? Is it possible that they're solving previously unsolvable problems at enterprise scale?

That's what I'm thinking. Yes, exactly. It definitely seems like I've seen an advertisement for this company in the airport, and I've looked at the big giant, like, on a billboard that you walk by, and you're like, okay, I see business people walking quickly in suits, carrying briefcases, but I still don't know. Oh, and there's some sort of, like, technology vector green lines going out into infinity over one of their shoulders, and somehow I don't know what they do.

They help you solve your greatest business challenges, Andrew. I'm looking at their website on my phone right now so I don't further deteriorate our internet connection. The biggest business challenge is I can't talk on the podcast. Can they help me with that? They can at enterprise scale. I guess my point is I am in an extremely almost overdeveloped slice of modern American life. and yet i somehow had a run-in with the wildest of wild animals like probably i've never seen a bear in the wild i did funnily enough i was once on a jog in seattle my by cowan park andrew like on the street not in cowan park but on the street and a huge coyote ran down the street he was not menacing me he was just i felt bad for that guy i was like you are in the wrong place buddy so maybe i don't know maybe it's just my luck or something but it's funny that in of all places dublin california was where i was i think chased by coyotes and then saw the largest wild boar of my life mere steps from like a cheesecake factory i just got an email from you with the subject line

pig i thought that was going to contain the photo of the boar but no that just contained a strongly worded email about my performance then i got another email from you that has the picture of a boar so thank you for this this is actually a pretty good photo it almost looks like a painting

because of the way it's kind of zoomed in i was so i was zooming you know for all my little phone was worth yeah trying to catch that thing and again it doesn't do it justice it doesn't it

does it more justice than i thought because i actually and i don't mean that as a as a statement on your photography skills i mean that i find capturing scale is incredibly hard with photography you know what i mean like you're on you know you're hiking and you're on some bluff and there's a great mountain range view and you take a photo of it and like none of the photos ever capture the majesty or the vastness of something like that but actually you got this you got this boar out in the out in the clear and you can see that this is a very big animal obviously we'll make this the show pick today and we'll tweet it out but uh yeah no that's that's impressive now i'm not well i probably shouldn't even start this sentence because i don't really know what i'm talking about but i do wonder if it's not so much a coincidence at all or or even that strange because you probably have like you say this isn't the urban core this is like the outlying area where there's still a lot of nature and a lot of wilderness but it's now it sounds like there's a lot of highways around there and you know how those when they build those highways they're supposed to you know be taking uh taking in account the wildlife around there and you're not supposed to be trapping the wildlife in in fact you know you hear about these stories about them making like walking bridges for wild animals sometimes or tunnels underneath but it could just be that yeah they've created this perfect space for like these animals to be displaced and somewhat trapped but also you know they can thrive as a community as well and so therefore that sounds

like a perfect storm I think you're exactly right I think this canyon that I was in is the one because then when I finally got out of there alive then I was just running around the neighborhoods because I was trying to I didn't get the mileage in that I wanted to because of my terrifying event so then I was just kind of out in Dublin California in in you know kind of residential area and it's all very very built up and it's all very very recent and that the thing that I'd started off on is the one like it's the one bit of nature that's left and so it would stand to reason that that's where everything that's not a human is kind of hiding out right now because that's kind of what they got left you know luke did you did you do any googling about this

no four days ago on the patch.com site for dublin california which is uh patch of course is like kind of the hyper local news service i didn't know it still existed four days ago luke four days ago

headline dublin police warn of possible coyote or mountain lion lurking police were urging dublin residents to take caution after a quote large animal was spotted in town um and i don't know this god yes and i think they're using a photo of a mountain lion here just to add it's a stock photo of just to add the fear factor i didn't even occur to me i mean i don't think i

ran into a mountain lion but that wasn't even on my list of things i was you know what is weird though um and we can move on from this because i think i've told the story and made the point but there was again i'm in a i'm in a very populated part of the world and yet there was something about the seclusion of this trail as i was going on it and kind of like again you know i i entered it through a neighborhood like the the part of the trail i went into i'm literally like in a sub development and then it just says this is the beginning of the trail so i felt like I'm really around people but there was something eerie about being on this trail and I I kind of had the thought before any of this happened actually I'm only now remembering this as I started off I was like I'm this is pretty solo out here for me and I'm like I can't I'm like I can't imagine there's anything dangerous out here but if there is it's I'm kind of trapped or I'm you know I'm pretty like it's going to be a bad scene I actually had that thought almost this like intuition or a little tingling as i started the jog and then i promptly forgot about it and then was menaced by coyotes i think so what a weird thing yeah maybe maybe i'm learning here

why the trail was so empty maybe it's because people were listening to the state's department of fish and wildlife which advises the following number one do not do not hike bike or jog alone Stay alert on trails. Avoid hiking or jogging when mountain lions are most active. Dawn, dusk, and at night.

Maybe the coyotes were protecting me from a mountain lion.

Maybe they were. Here's just some more general advice for you, Luke. Never approach a mountain lion. Give him an escape route. Do not run. Stay calm. What do they say about jogging? Jogging. It says don't do it alone. Oh, this is interesting. Do not crouch down or bend over. squatting puts you in a vulnerable position of appearing much like a four-legged prey animal as you're climbing up this this muddy hill on all fours on all fours like the world's like the

world's most ungainly hog yeah exactly with pink easy to tear flesh like how about just i have a giant a neon arrow saying come eat me mountain lion now i'm going to ask you i'm going to turn

this last point into a quiz what do you think you're supposed to do luke if a lion attacks you in this case i think they mean mountain lion they've just i have thought about this

well you should you should try to protect your head and your like you know jugular your head and your neck because they probably instinctively are going to try to go for that and i don't think i would actually have the wherewithal to do this and this is a little gross so sorry everyone but But I have – because where my parents live, they also have – there's like cougars apparently. I've never seen a cougar, but when you're jogging, the mind wanders, and you think about, well, what would I do? What I would probably try to do – again, I don't think I would actually pull this off – is you can do a thing where you shove your entire fist down the throat of the animal and you choke the animal, which is really – as I say on the show sometimes, the only way past this is through it. That's really the definition of that. This thing is trying to eat me. Let me actually shove my entire fist down its throat. But I have tried to imagine if that's something I was even capable of doing. And the answer, Andrew, is probably not. But I think that would be my plan.

You are right, though. You hit on some very specific correct terminology here. But it does start by saying if a lion attacks, fight back. Research on mountain lion attacks suggests that many potential victims have fought back successfully with rocks, sticks, garden tools. Did you have a garden tool? I always run with a trowel. Yes, or bare hands This is why you always carry a pen Try to stay on your feet If knocked down Try to protect your head and neck As you said before But yeah

I think I would freeze up so badly Oh, me too I mean I think I would become so weak with fear If I were actually to like have a mountain lion near me I mean, again, I hope I never have to test this out Maybe there's some reserve of just kind of survival instinct that I have never tapped into, but the immediate physical sensation I would have would be complete

loss of muscle and bowel control. Yeah. Yeah. Like when that, I know I've told this story too many times, but when I was taking just an early morning walk, um, in the, in the outback in Australia above Larima and I'm just walking on this big old kind of logging road kind of thing. And you know, the tiny little town was behind me. I wasn't too far away from So, let's go. where we were staying but where we were staying was a place where there were about five people in about a hundred mile radius right there used to be six and then patty went missing haddy moriarty right um and uh but anyway yeah and then all of a sudden i just see somebody way on the other side of the logging road coming at me but very far away and all and he's got these two dogs and they just look like the type of dogs i put into scary dog territory actually the kind of dogs where if i saw them in a different situation i think they were exactly my kind a dog beautiful dogs with big muscly heads or whatever but they're wearing spiked collars and they're both just running at me as fast as possible and i don't know how to read the situation at all and i just the only thing i sort of remember as i froze and probably like put my leg up in a somewhat defensive position i just remember hearing a yell from the human way far away saying don't act scared oh my god that's great that's 50 times worse than what i went through this morning no i don't think so because there was another human being there i think that

but still i mean he couldn't have gotten to you in time if i had two yeah two dogs like that bearing down on me i wouldn't trust that their owner is going to get to them in time to i mean all it takes is 30 seconds of those two things taking you down to the ground and it's a really

bad situation i know i mean that would have been a bad situation had those been bad dogs which apparently they weren't but um i disagree though like having been in that situation which actually was almost a bowel emptying scenario for me but if something were to happen unless this person was just like pure evil and I had walked into some sort of a horror movie um there was a human being there who if something did go first of all like looking at that person's reaction that person wasn't chasing after the dogs that person didn't seem scared um but even if the dogs did do something to me that person could have gotten help or something like you didn't know what you were up against and you were completely alone i give the edge to that i really do well i i mean

fortunately i i didn't ever actually see them uh either so i mean that's that was another factor in all of this was i guess i had the sense that what i sort of pieced together was they're not actively chasing me like they're not on my heels they just don't like me being where i was and they're going to kind of like make sure that there's some distance between us but i i didn't feel like they were after me as much as they were just letting me know that i wasn't supposed to be there and they followed me for a while to just make sure that i got out of their territory which was still not a great feeling i would say i was kind of afraid of of the coyotes also afraid of embarrassing myself in front of a dublin california homeowner like so i i wasn't i didn't think my my life was in danger because at that point i would have stopped being embarrassed about just like yelling up to someone's house but it was a pretty weird situation i'll tell you well what i kept

thinking when you're describing this this area where you're trying to now climb up this embankment towards these houses i i couldn't help but to think of a show like the walking dead or any kind of zombie kind of apocalypse situation where you have uh you know what was their catchphrase for a while that tv show like fear the dead or the walking fear the walking dead or something or Well, that's the second show that they released. But it was something like just like – it was like fear humanity almost more than the dead. Like you can take care of the zombies, but it's like what happens to the humans when you are in this situation. And you just think like if you were being chased by a horde of zombies, I can see the homeowners looking down at you from their mansions or McMansions and just like spinning the little thing that closes the blinds. and just like hearing the sound of you getting eaten as they turn their back on you literally

and figuratively it was kind of incredible how fortified these houses were because once i realized okay i got towards the top of the hill and i was like okay i'm seeing like i'm back in civilization a little bit i was like okay fine i'll just have to kind of cut through someone's yard or i'll go around one of these houses and then there will be a street but it was just wild They were so massive and the so so impenetrable, really, with the like fencing. And like I said, the like the built up foundation of these places, it was just kind of like, you know, also running through my mind was, wow, we are really overbuilding places these days. But anyway, all's well that ends well. We got a good story out of it, and I learned a lesson, which is maybe bring a friend if I'm going to jog on that particular trail in Dublin, California.

Or, I mean, I think probably a lot of people will write in to say this, like it's come up before. Having some bear spray is not the worst idea.

Yeah, I guess, you know, what happened was last week when I was in Arizona, I went on that Pinnacle Peak thing, and it was a really nice way to start the day. and I went there and got to see the sunrise. It was really beautiful. There was also a ton of people there and no wildlife.

that i saw other than maybe some like lizards or something and so i kind of had it in my mind like i'm going to do that version of the here in california well one it's totally cloudy and actually was kind of raining so it wasn't there wasn't any beautiful reveal of the sunset but i was into this idea of like getting out in nature it's kind of my new thing i'm trying to do when i'm traveling just to i don't know break up the monotony um and and so now that i'm am doing this or trying to do this you're right some bear spray probably wouldn't be the worst i wonder how the bear spray would do against a pack of coyotes yeah that's a good i mean it'd be better than

not having it it would be better than not having it that's for sure especially since you'd be um you know needing to carry something that is small enough to jog with how about a drone that folds

into a backpack that if something scary happens i just go up up and away and like i can just launch it and then it takes me like mary poppins style out of there what about a security detail thank you think i've been thinking yeah like when i've been trying to get in touch with my help and really

connect with them yeah right exactly is that tweet yes yeah pack a lunch just the very process of telling your helper what to put in your lunch every day will help you eat throw the coyotes

a fluffernutter that your help prepared and put in your lunch right exactly well i'm glad you're alive because yes i didn't want to do this myself no i'm i'm uh i'm here to here to host another day so uh speaking of which we should take a quick break and then we'll come back and i want to talk i do want to talk about paul rudd being the sexiest man alive um i mean now that i've survived a run-in with you know dangerous wildlife i feel like i should be in i should be in the conversation next year for sexiest man alive just based on surviving this but this year i'll give it to paul rudd and we're going to uh play the tape of him being interviewed for the job by stephen colbert coming up in a moment here on tbtl let's thank some donors of the day the wonderful generous people making the show possible andrew these are all people that if they would have been with me on this jog in dublin california They would have stared down the coyotes and said, you shall not pass. That's just the kind of level of toughness and, you know, I don't know, flinty kind of grit that these people have.

They would have been wearing their security detail uniform. They'd been wearing all black suits with little earpieces, sunglasses, and just sternly jogging beside you.

That's right. You know that when, this was actually a pretty famous story at the time, but I believe, because George W. Bush, he's apparently a pretty fast runner, or he was when he was president. And that, you know, when the president goes on a jog in D.C., the Secret Service has to run with him. And I think it was an issue finding Secret Service people who could keep up with him. Wow. I want to let everyone know that will not be the issue with my security detail. Is that with Samantha Hartman? Is she fast? Oh, I mean, like lightning fast out there in Missoula, Montana. Thank you, Samantha, for the support. James Callahan is in a Boca Raton.

Now, did James move? I knew that James was in Florida. I believe James is the fellow who helped me with my... Is he your Hearthstone buddy? Yeah, I believe he helped teach me Hearthstone low those many years ago. I haven't played Hearthstone in probably like a year or something now. It's like if I log on, everything is going to be changed. Anyway, I didn't remember that was Boca Raton. I've clocked some time in Boca Raton myself. Yeah, you have. Rat's mouth. Exactly. I don't call it that, but yes, exactly.

I say this every time Boca Raton comes up. I feel like had they gone with the English version, had they gone with Rat's mouth. Very affordable housing in Rat's mouth, Florida. Oh, Ratsmith. Ratsmith. Sure. Margot Feather is in Kent, Washington. That's a heck of a name, Margot Feather. It really is. That gives Luke Burbank a run for its money, just in terms of, you know, I don't know what you'd call it. Just almost made up, made up soundingness. I like it. Me too. Anthony Mayo is in Seattle, Washington. Thank you, Anthony. Kenneth Walls is in Stillwater, Minnesota. Peaceful. So peaceful in Stillwater. Very, very, very still. And deep. That's the thing. Yes. Stillwater, Minnesota runs extremely deep. Then we've got Samantha Seager and Ross Smith in Dedham, Massachusetts. Did I do that right?

I think you did that perfectly. Drop kind of just like low-keying the H in Dedham. Just low-key it. Just be cool, man. That's the pronunciation guide for everything in New England. Yes. Be cool, man. Thank you to all of our donors of the day for supporting the show. Thanks for making this whole thing possible. We really do appreciate you. Hello and welcome to Top Story. It's unusual that we would be leading with the People magazine announcement that Paul Rudd is the sexiest man alive. But, A, I actually kind of love that they picked him because he is very much not in the Tom Selleck or Matthew McConaughey or Idris Elba model of these hyper-masculine, very conventionally – I mean, I think Paul Rudd is a conventionally handsome man. But I feel like they're giving one to us quirky folk, to the Matt Haney's of the world or the Luke Burbank's of the world. you know I mean don't you feel like there's it's kind of a it's a it's a mood it's a vibe giving

this to Paul Rudd absolutely and he's both kind of like he's adored and I do think that I mean I find him attractive I think a lot of people do find him attractive but in yeah but you're right like not in a beefcake way which is like so this is the kind of dazzling detail that I came across when I was googling around about a sexiest man alive is my very first thought was huh Paul Rudd A bit older than me, you know, like I'm in an age where there are I don't think there are any professional athletes of any kind that are older than me. You know what I mean? Like you're just starting to notice, like when somebody your age or older accomplishes something that you're not going to accomplish anyway, but it just feels like you still have a little bit of time to work on it. So I'm like, yes, Paul Rudd, 52. So I looked up the ages of every sexiest man alive. It goes back to 1985, starting with Mel Gibson. Now, he was 29 at the time. So, OK, fine. There are I'm sorry, that's sexiest Nazi alive. Yeah, right.

That's a different category.

Yeah. But I am looking. There's quite a few people on this list who are older than you might think. Like those who were Sexiest Men Alive but were older than both of us, I believe, Luke. Paul Rudd at 52. Idris Elba, 46. Now, have you turned 46 yet? No. You have not, and I'm about to turn 45. So I still have a year to become as handsome as Idris Elba. Exactly, which I think you've got that Johnny Depp. another just some great people on this list George Clooney is only 45 first of all I had no idea I wait or no I'm not not not now he was 45 all the time I should say sorry I just got confused I can confuse my own list but something about being the same age as George Clooney would really

rock my world I can't explain and I can't explain why yeah because we should all be so lucky as to be as handsome and and and raffish as George Clooney is and yet something about being the same age as him i'd be like are you s-ing my d which is a big is a big tiktok it's a tiktok

thing uh pierce brosnan was 48 richard gear was 50 when he received it harrison ford was 56 he still shouldn't have been flying an airplane then i would say um let's see here nick nolte uh wow 51 nolte got it back in 1992 nick nolte got it when he was 51 and sean connery looks like The oldest who received it knocking on the door of 60, 59 years old in December of 1989. Sean Connery, sexiest man alive.

I wonder if some of that, the sort of history of it, has to do with the sort of people who would actually subscribe to People magazine. In other words, the demo who would read People magazine. I could see it sort of skewing towards maybe women, maybe women in their 30s, right? Or even older, who are not opposed to appreciating the handsomeness of a mature gentleman in his 50s or whatever, as opposed to if you asked, I don't know, Sassy, who's the hottest guy out there, you'd get probably a little bit of a different response. But I like that. I feel like Paul Rudd is the is the quirkiest, most most self-aware person on that list, at least as far as I perceive the people on that list to be. What I thought was kind of actually pretty genius, too, was—and this is all, you know, cross—this is all synergistic, cross-platform, leveraged, earned media, etc. But they got Stephen Colbert—like, an entire—it would appear to be almost an entire episode of Late Night with Stephen Colbert was just dedicated to this. But it was very funny. This is the tape that I was hoping you could play, Andrew This is basically of Stephen Colbert interviewing Paul Rudd The premise is that Stephen Colbert is going to be the hotness adjudicator And he's interviewing a whole bunch of different sexy fellas In fact, he starts off kind of talking to a giant poster of Matthew McConaughey Asking McConaughey to guide him

like

Like the way that, like in a sports film, somebody would look at a giant photo of their father and ask him to help them, you know, may my aim be true today. Anyway, so the tape starts with him, you know, calling for his 11 o'clock and it ends up being Paul Rudd, which he's surprised by. So can you just kind of play this? Amy, please send in my 11 o'clock sexy man.

Hi. Excuse me. I think you have the wrong room. This is sexist man alive. Oh, no, that's what I'm here for. confidence that's sexy have a seat and your name is uh it's paul rudd uh paul rudd paul rudd paul rudd i don't i don't see that i have a raul pud okay correcting people not sexy striking dance but no by the way uh i never thought

about that but if you swap the letters in paul rudd's name i guess it is raul pud yeah i guess

But no, you feel free to call me Raul Pudd.

That's Raul Pudd. Anything is fine. Flexibility. That is sexy. Okay. We're back in the black. Let's get started, Paul. Are you ready to be sworn in? Absolutely. Raise your right hand and put your left hand on a photo of your own face. Did you bring a headshot?

I could just use my own touch. So if you're watching this, Paul Rudd is holding his hand up against his own face. He's basically swearing on his own face that he's going to be sexy. Okay.

I do solemnly swear. I do solemnly swear. To give the sexiest answers I can. To give the sexiest answers I can. To be a man. To be a man. And stay alive. And stay alive. So help me, McConaughey.

So help me, McConaughey.

That's great. You're ready. When was the first time that you knew that you were sexy?

I guess when I was a baby. I think a baby, but it was, I was a baby. I didn't, I didn't know what sexy was. I just felt different. Okay. Well, I had a, I wore a thong diaper. My diaper was a thong. Okay. Um, and I knew that the other kids didn't do that, but looking back, obviously that's very sexy, but

I just thought it was French. All right. When it comes to sexiness, what's your biggest weakness?

Oh, boy. Well, you know what? I have a weird foot. I suffer from a thing called Big Pinky. What's that?

He takes his shoe off, he puts his foot up, and they've done something to his foot where both his big toe and his little toe are the exact same size. His foot is basically bracketed by big toes, which causes Colbert to almost throw up.

I hope that doesn't count against me. You know what? One point for honesty. Less vulnerability. Let's look at some of your sexy work experience. Did you bring a resume? I did. Okay. Okay.

Calvin Klein.

Calvin Klein perfume? No, no. I just rubbed my underwear on it. Let's talk about Clueless. You were the love interest there, but you're her brother. Well, stepbrother, yeah. Okay, Paul? This is Sexiest Man Alive, not Porniest Man Alive. It was based on Jane Austen. Porn. Yeah. Okay. Are you lactose intolerant? No, but I'm willing to try. Okay. Great. So we have these three men right here.

What do you see that's in common? So now in the office where he's interviewing him, it's got Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, and I forget who the other, like, it's recent sexy men. These are the actual covers of People magazine. And what you realize is they're all like slouched in this certain way that you would never notice unless you were holding all three of these like blown up pictures next to each other. So he wants Paul Rudd to kind of demonstrate his slouchiness, which, of course, is Paul Rudd just sliding down this office chair in the least sexy way possible.

Are they slouched kind of with their like their fingers to their chin, like finger and thumb to the chin? Are they holding their heads?

It's hard to describe. It's not quite that. It's just this kind of, I'm just cash. I'm kind of, I'm like not, I'm not overly formal here.

but that's what makes me so sexy is just how casual I am is the only way that I can really describe it. So, yeah, so that's the next part.

I'm looking at Michael B. Jordan's photo here to see if I can get where you're... Oh, yeah, he's kind of... Yeah, you're right, he doesn't... Yeah, you're right, he's... He does have his thumb on his chin, though, on the cover, People's Sexiest Man Alive. Okay, back to the tape here. What do you see that's in common?

Well, they're all kind of casually reclining posture. Can I see you slump? Show me a sexy slump. Sure thing. Oh. Can I go to the sand? Can I show you what I'm saying, please? Yeah, thank you. So this next part, we could kind of probably wrap it up there because the next part is very visual, but basically behind Colbert on an easel is like a mock-up of the next like sexiest man magazine cover but the the picture is actually kind of just a silhouette because it's like who is going to be the sexiest man and so he wants paul rudd to go basically try to see if he fits onto the cover of this thing that's on an easel and what yeah and and basically what follows is just paul rudd making stephen colbert laugh what was i highly recommend everyone actually go watch this because what you realize is in every single take stephen colbert is losing it like and they either they only had like an hour to shoot this or uh they just like somehow like they're they're using tape where you can see that out of the corner of like the shot every time like stephen colbert is not directly in it you see him losing it which is the most charming thing ever Stephen Colbert not being able to contain his joy dough is like I would listen I don't agree with what Aaron Rodgers did but I would take that Stephen Colbert not being able to contain his joy I would take that as an alternative to Pfizer I feel like it is a vaccine I feel like it would immunize me I feel like it's we should put it in the water like fluoride that is whatever that is Stephen Colbert being so delighted that he can't keep up the facade of Colbert-ness is the greatest pure joy on earth.

And I feel like both of these people bring that to a room. Not that I've ever been in a room with either one of them or will be, but like you get these kind of moments.

Well, you've been in a room with me, though, so you know the general. You know what it feels like.

Exactly, right. I remember the sound of distant dogs. But you know what I mean? Like Colbert, I just have so much respect for Colbert. I think, you know, he's got a brilliant mind. And he's so funny. And he's also just such he seems like such a good human being and really stands on his his his morals, which he just has such a straight compass when it comes to issues and what have you. And I and I find delight when he finds delight. You know what I mean? Yes. He seems like the type of person who has a lot of friendships. And when you see those friendships kind of unfold on TV, they seem very legitimate. And you also get similar vibes from Rudd. I mean, Rudd is a very different person, but, like, you know, we talk about Celery Man a lot. That's the Tim and Eric skit. Tain, I can get into. Tain, I can get into. And, like, I've watched outtakes from that before. Like, that is such a weird skit that, like, those Tim and Eric skits that are so weird and have a sort of a darkness to them as well, which I would say Tain sort of does, you forget that these are comedians who also laugh because, like, they're not laughing in them, right? Right. They're making us laugh with the weirdness. But to watch the outtakes of Paul Rudd trying different things in that skit and then, like, breaking, and then you hear, like, you know, Tim and Eric, like, laughing off camera as they're probably directing the skit. Like, it suddenly is, like, this moment of real humanization, sort of, and you're just like, oh, my God, he's just a delight. Like, and both of these guys in the same room together, like, delight is the only word I can come up with.

One more thing that's on that topic is I think Carrie was the one who turned me on to this because she was obsessed with it. But like that sketch where it's Tim and Eric and Eric is the doctor. Wait, is Eric the doctor or is Tim the doctor? Anyway, they go hold me about this before. And like it's, you know, as edited, it's just a typical Tim and Eric sketch where it's just super weird. A guy goes to the doctor and all this weird stuff happens. but what's really delightful is the outtakes i think it's called dr werheim so that would mean it's eric is the doctor but the outtakes which is exactly what you're talking about because these two guys that that do this comedy that you kind of don't know like are they serious right now are they joking is like like you kind of just sort of they feel almost like Like, they're not motivated by the same forces or affected by the same forces that we are because the comedy is so weird at times. But, like, Eric Wareheim trying to do a thing where he kisses Tim Heidecker or is, like, looking – is almost doing kind of like a – I guess you could say gynecological sort of appointment on Tim. But Eric Wareheim doing things that are obviously absurd and losing it, laughing at the absurdity of it, is very humanizing and it's a relief because, like, oh, they also get how silly this is. which is like obvious they made the show they get how silly it is watching this i'm watching

these outtakes as you're talking about them i don't think it's worth really like listening to no it's kind of dirty too potentially but they're just they're so serious about their comedy i think the same thing about bob odenkirk i mean long you know bob odenkirk of the mr show era right like he was such he was so serious about comedy and so you forget that like oh yeah he laughs too

you know right they get how weird this is the other thing and i know that this was probably just this was a good year for this whatever like completely and totally ridiculous thing which is we're going to declare who the sexiest guy is i mean yeah it's a it is a ludicrous endeavor that only exists to create media uh attention around it but i'll tell you like in in my childhood i remember it being a thing where it was like oh uh you know lisa gibbons has the exclusive on entertainment tonight uh the announcement of who the sexiest man is going to be and like when you think about the kind of like i find that this sort of hollywood industrial complex the the the the hollywood entertainment like the the people that that do the shows that are about how glitzy hollywood is like that's a that's a special part of hell i would rather jog down a trail chased by coyotes every day for the rest of my life rather than have to be one of those people on entertainment tonight or extra who just has to be relentlessly excited about the three-minute chat they got to have with zendaya and i don't say that with any criticism of zendaya but you know what i mean just that kind of like it is the absolute definition of saccharine to me um and so to To the degree that in years past, this sexiest man thing, which is, again, total bullshit in and of itself, was being kind of delivered – the news was being delivered on a show that's also complete bullshit, Entertainment Tonight or Extra. This is just such a departure from that. This is two people who are actually self-aware, who understand how silly this is and are having fun with it and making it delightful. Like this feels like this is how they should do it every year. Of course, if they did it this way every year, then it wouldn't feel so special. But it's just kind of like great to see this actually fall into the hands of Colbert and Paul Rudd and Colbert's writers to actually make this thing that's just totally and completely ridiculous, as ridiculous as it should be, instead of treating it like it's a serious thing, I guess.

Yeah, it's almost more like charmingest man alive. Right. That's the word you use for Paul Rudd, right? Like, is anybody more charming than Paul Rudd? This charmingest man alive. Yes.

Also, a Smith song.

Yes, I am. By the way, I didn't realize this as we talk about Sexiest Man Alive and we're talking about the ages. And, of course, I always go to sexism. I'm just wondering, oh, if they had a list of of women, Sexiest Women Alive, would you see women, you know, so many women on the list who are like 45 or older? And I do see that they must have decided. So it looks like Sexiest Man Alive started in 1985 and then 1990 rolls around. And now it's the now it's the 90s. And they want to introduce something called Most Beautiful People Alive alongside this. And this, I think, exclusively or almost exclusively is women. And they're all 40 or younger-ish until 2015. Now we have a revolution. In 2015, Sandy B, Luke, one of your favorites. Sandy B, 50 years old. Then Jennifer Aniston, 47. Julia Roberts, 49, Jennifer Gardner, 47, and Goldie Hawn at 74. Topping off the list.

I mean, I guess the takeaway from that is if you're a conventionally beautiful person, we don't care what your age is. Right. If you're in the .001% of conventionally, and this goes for both the men and the women on the list, I guess the takeaway is age ain't nothing but a number if you're an exceptionally beautiful person.

I'm up for baldingest man alive, so wish me luck on that.

Is that Mel Magazines? Yeah. I think they're putting out this next year?

Ironically, once they shed the shackles of Dollar Shave Club, they're able to comment on the balds. Here I go once again with the email. Every week, I hope that it's from a female. No, man. It's not from a female.

All right, we are getting down to the point, Andrew, where I need to head over to Ranch Dressing HQ and eat some of your nightmare. So maybe like one quickish email. All right, how about this?

I feel like this might, I don't know, sonically disturb you. I'm not entirely sure about this. I know you're not a huge Tom Waits person. And this is not actually Tom Waits calling into our voicemail line. If he was a listener, I wouldn't accuse you of not being a big Tom Waits person on the show. That would be rude.

Listen, there are a couple of Tom Waits songs that I absolutely adore. So I'm not anti Tom Waits. They're just it's hit and miss for me.

But at some point, I mean, a while back, you and I must have been talking on the show, which sounds about right, about songs that we sing to our pets. Like this comes up from time to time Because like when the cats are hungry Sometimes I'll sing Oh I know you're hungry To the tune of Fleetwood Mac Oh you can go your own way Yeah I know you couldn't tell from me singing it So I had to explain it You can tell a song is good If you have to name it afterwards I didn't want to put a lot into that I was too embarrassed Anyway point is We must have been talking about songs That we sing to our pets And we got this from a listener

Hi I'm a time bandit and i'm listening to about march of 2020 and y'all are talking about your animal songs that you sing and i wanted to share bad kitty with you this is a song for bad kitty kevin

uh inspired by tom wakes which i sing to bad kitty kevin quite often he's just a bad kitty He doesn't want to be a good kitty No, no, no He's just a bad kitty He gets in the pants And he gets on the counter He gets into the dog food And he eats a lot of wet food Bad kitty He doesn't want to be a good kitty No, no, no He's just a bad kitty Power out

So, actually, you know what? They didn't leave their name Maybe that is Tom Waits That is some real Latter-day Tom Waits. That is some real, like, Orphans. I can't remember the name of that disc he released. But that is some real Latter-day, grunty, percussive Tom Waits right there.

I love the commitment from that caller. I really do. That made my whole day. That song, I might have to make that my ringtone. I was going to have people can like different things, which is also a listener-generated song. I guess if we assume that that young child is subjected to the show. But that Bad Kitty. Now, is there a Tom Waits song that's close to that? Like, is there a song called Bad Kitty? Or do you think the listener was just saying that the kind of Waitsiness, the gravelliness in the voice is what makes it a Tom Waits song?

Yeah. And that like kind of I don't know how much of that kind of like he like does these things later on. Like, I'm going to go out, if you don't mind, with kind of an earlier Tom Waits song that you'll enjoy. It's very soothing. But he did went through this period. He may still be in this period where things were much more kind of guttural and kind of stompy. You know, almost like you can almost picture him in a room by himself with a tambourine on his knee. Or he's just holding, like, two things of heavy chain and he's dropping it on a stomach floor rhythmically. Yes, yes, yes, exactly. There's a song by him. I use the word song loosely that you would absolutely hate called, what's he building in there? And you just keep saying that. What a bad kitty. Not the worst Tom. I didn't know I had that in me. That's not the worst Tom Wade. That was pretty good. But we won't go out with that. Let's go out with a very sweet song called Looking for the Heart of Saturday Night. How about that?

Let's do that. I'm now, of course, trying to remember, because we've talked about this on the show. Yeah, that's crazy. Excuse me, that's surprising to me The song I love Tom Waits' cover of the song Downtown Train And we've talked about it on the show before I think I used to think that was A Tom Waits song That Bruce Springsteen covered And made it popular And then Rod Stewart covered it But it was originally Bruce Springsteen did that too? I feel like there's a Springsteen version I could be wrong But it's a Rod Stewart song I believe it was written Right now my phone is telling me It's actually written by Rod Stewart I always assumed that

I didn't know about the Tom Waits one Until you played it for me

The first time I heard it was the Tom Waits one And so because I heard him singing it It became a Tom Waits song to me Like the lyrics I was like that seems like something Tom Waits would write It's deep and heartbreaking and meaningful And like not old Rod Stewart But he

Thank you.

was apparently the one who wrote it wait hold on hold on hold on what are we looking at here i'm looking at wikipedia entry for the song downtown train is a song by tom waits released on his album rain dogs in 85 rod stewart recorded a cover version that became a number three hit um in 89 so no no you were right all along i didn't know that like uh that i i only remember that he did downtown train as you're mentioning it here because you've mentioned on the show before but i still thought it was a cover oh that's interesting because there's no way i'm

so glad to thank you for for clarifying because there's no way rod stewart can write a lyric like you wave your hand and they scatter like crows they have nothing that will ever capture your heart like that is just not from the guy who wrote do you think i'm sexy who else is gonna bring you that's not a bad rod stewart who knew you had tom waits and rod stewart in you today

Just lurking the whole time I don't know if you know this song One of his earlier records from 1974 Is called The Heart of Saturday Night And the whole thing just feels like A night on the town Kind of after a lot of the jazz bars have closed Or what have you I think you'll enjoy this song, Luke I think you would enjoy the whole album If you ever had a chance to

Andrew, I just enjoy being alive right now After my run-in Everything, food tastes better The air smells better Tom Waits sounds better

Good, perfect Fertile ground for this

Thanks for listening everyone We'll be back here tomorrow with more imaginary radio for you Until then have a great Wednesday Take care of yourselves Watch out for coyotes And please remember no mountain too tall And good luck to all

Saturday night And you get paid on Friday And your pockets are jingling And you see the lights And you get all tangling Cause you're cruising with the six And you're looking for the heart Of Saturday night And then you comb your hair Shave your face Trying to wipe out every trace Of all the other days And the week You know that this will be the Saturday You're reaching your peak Stopping on the red You're going on the green Cause tonight will be like nothing You've ever seen in your bell Good morning, Paul.

What will your first sequence of the day be? Computer, load up, Celery Man, please. Yes, Paul. Could you kick up the, uh, 43D 3D 3D? 3-4-D-3-D-3-E-3-E-3-E-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G-A-G Power out.
