coming at you tbtl winter games thursday episode thank you so much for tuning in hope you are having a I was going to say, I hope you're having a restful pre-holiday session, but it's not restful as this show is being released to the Internet. It's a couple of days before Christmas. It's a notoriously hectic time. So I hope you're doing okay in this notoriously hectic time. I'm doing great because I'm on tape. Hi, my name's Luke Burbank, by the way. Right over there, my friend Andrew Walsh.

Hello, sir. Hello. Oh, as we publish this show on Thursday, I should be probably in the air right now, I'm thinking, heading off on my holiday holiday. So that's where I am.

What is your big plan for this? You're going to a place that you have been to before, I believe, right?

An area I've been to before. We're not going back to the same exact location.

Oh, you're not going back to the Golden Girls condo.

No, although I do like the idea of that. We found another place, but it's kind of in that in that area of Maui. Yeah. Does it have a pool that you can sit in and read your pulpy book? I believe so. I, you know, we booked this a long time ago and I'm kind of forgetting the details. It's not like a resorty kind of place. So it's not like, you know, those kinds of places. Like when we went to, I think, Mexico or I can't remember other vacations where, you know, you float up to a bar and it's a big public pool area. I believe we're staying in some sort of a some sort of a condo situation. You know, I'm sure Airbnb. And so it's a condo situation where, yes, there's access to a pool, but it's more of kind of like a, you know, like a private pool for the people who are in the condo. So. So that's good. That that'll that'll actually better.

Yeah, probably. Honestly, because it's like you really I don't know what my situation is going to be when I'm in Hawaii, because I we are staying at a, you know, just a kind of a typical kind of big resort hotel thing. And like they really get you on the on the dining near the pool situation. If you have a couple of drinks, you look down, you're like, holy guacamole, we're out 100 bucks. So but but I'm also kind of 45 years old. I have nine jobs I I should be able to not have to sneak food and beverages into places anymore you think you get to an age maybe or a a phase of life where you're not doing that but it's that habit dies very hard for me when I feel like the stuff whether it's a movie theater or uh something like this where it's just I mean it almost it kind of it ruins the fun for me a little bit of the enjoyment if i'm constantly in my mind thinking this is this is highway robbery

for these nachos this is where you and i are weirdly opposites on this issue even though you'd think our personalities would point us in the different direction because like it is not about the sneakiness of it for me but like if i'm going into a movie theater i know that everything is overpriced there like let's say the popcorn and the soda but it's part of the experience for me and same with if i'm like at a poolside bar you know if i'm in a pool that has a poolside bar or whatever that's part of the experience even knowing that it's expensive I just put it out of my head and deal with it later right when it's time to when it's time to pay the bill or what have you now in this scenario I'm talking about for me this weekend like if it's if we're allowed to take a plastic cup down to the private pool I will do that it's not like I'm going to be spending tons of time missing a poolside bar but if there is a poolside bar I have zero desire to sort of buck the trend you know what I mean and take my own little igloo cooler down there or what have you I want to be I want to be enjoying the full experience if that makes sense same with like a the ball games too you know like buying a hot dog inside instead of like bringing you know bringing half a bag of peanuts in the Ziploc bag from home it is very strange

because I am very indulgent in a lot of ways in terms of my own kind of personal comfort and convenience and a lot of my life is just sort of acting out against what was a very um kind of underfunded childhood in terms of you know we just would never we weren't the kind of family that would a go to a movie in a movie theater but be if we did get get snacks i was actually remembering i was out we're out for this family dinner a while ago with um becca's family because it was her mom's birthday and um her uh so the waiter came by and asked uh her nephew if he wanted something uh to uh to drink a soda or a juice or something or whatever and he this kid is unbelievably poised and mature for his age. He said, well, if it's going to be something really sugary, I think I'm going to wait for dessert for...

that like have you ever heard you ever heard like a 12 year old do that it was amazing but what my thought was was like oh are you kidding me you're just gonna let the you're just gonna ask the kid what they want and they're just gonna order like you need to run this through the parent because when i was growing up we would never we never ate anywhere that had waiters but had we it would have been unthinkable that we were just getting to uh kind of make our own decisions About what we were going to get Be it food, drink or the like It would all be my mom saying This is what you can and cannot do or whatever So all of that is to say Some of that lodged somewhere in the back of my brain And there are just weird things That I think are I think that a bag of potato chips From the mini bar in a hotel Is a thousand dollars

Yeah I think they are too That's where you and I are the same Like I still don't touch that Like yeah

I don't even like to look at it I am so stressed about that stuff And you know what Like I was in Chicago And I My flight got in really late There was no We didn't even get into this When I was doing the shows From Chicago A couple weeks ago But like Everything in Chicago In the loop Closes now At really early At like nine It was very I could not I couldn't find Anything to eat I couldn't get anyone To deliver me anything So I grabbed Some potato chips From the mini bar And Might have also Grabbed a Twink's bar And And I was like, this was honestly in my mind the next morning when I got up, as I prepared for Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, as I did all the things, I was like, I can't believe I just did that. Do I even have, is there enough limit on my credit card to even pay for this? And I looked finally at the pricing sheet, and it was like the bag of chips was $4. The Twix was $3. I mean, more than you would pay for them if you went to the store. But not you don't have to sell off Anything you don't have to liquid any Assets do this is seven dollars total Right I spend seven dollars a lot On very often on things that are not worth Seven dollars I don't think about it twice there are Just these weird little hang-ups I have like that stuff in inside The hotel room Stuff being ordered and you know Honestly there's nothing That I enjoy more than the Extravagance of Lying by a pool and asking Someone because I don't tell I don't say give me this i say could i please have this asking someone to bring me a delicious drink or some delicious food as i am relaxing by the pool without a care in the world like there's nothing i enjoy more than that and yet that's one area where i've decided to be very worried about the

cost of things well it's funny i'm just remembering this now and i actually don't even want to talk about it because i kind of it's kind of like a um kind of quasi embarrassing moment for me like But I do – as much as I'm a rural follower or maybe because I am a rural follower, I don't like being told what to do. And the last time we were in Hawaii, we were actually staying at some sort of a resorty place. Again, I think this was a gift. I think it had something to do with Genevieve's family's timeshares or something. And it was going to run out, so we took this kind of trip. It was just like whatever. It was a very, very nice time. It was a very nice gift. But I remember we were down at the pool, and I don't even think – and it was a place that had like pool bars and restaurants and various things. and at one point, Genevieve and I are down there, and Genevieve has some cup of something that she had brought from upstairs, I suppose, and some, you know, resort guy who's kind of, like, going around, like, you know, an employee, kind of a manager-y kind of guy is going around and, like, kind of making small talk with people, and he crouches down. Genevieve and I are hanging off the side of the pool, exactly like the position that I like, right? Like, hanging off the side of the pool, I got a paperback in my hand, elbows on the pool edge, Genevieve is sitting next to me, her feet are dangling into the pool, she's drinking whatever is in this plastic cup she brought down and this guy comes down and he you know he crouches next to us and I automatically just hate him I don't know why I just do I hate these kind of people and he's just like making he's doing his job like whatever but he's just like he said hey how you guys doing enjoying it like making small talk and then it's like and then and I didn't see this coming and then he says to Genevieve okay and we can't allow outside food or drink down at the pool here so why don't you uh why you know so you know whatever I have to ask to put that away or whatever and i i said something snarky to him in that like very classic andrew way of getting really hot and angry and embarrassed and then saying something not super sensical you know and i think i said something like well you could have cut the small talk or something like that leading up to it because i just felt like i was both being we were both being told that we were breaking the rules which is not a feeling you're being condescended to and i also felt condescended to by this like you know douchey hunky you know resort manager guy i was like just cut it you know what i mean if you're gonna go around being the the dean of student affairs and giving us demerits then just be that person you could you know i could

do without the foreplay sir and then every time i passed him then every time i passed him the rest of the vacation i would give him a really dirty look and then i would uh then it kind of decided that's why i didn't want to tell the story because it's one of those things that doesn't make a lot of sense i just got up in my emotions about it and i felt like i let it take over too much of my

too much of my brain space well i hope that nothing like that happens everybody at your new place or at the place you're going to be at for christmas uh or at the place that i'm going to be with becca because um you know i get violent andrew very violent and uh i don't want to get kicked out of this hotel because i don't think i can get my money back believe i think because there's so much um uh competition for hotel rooms the week after christmas in hawaii i i don't i think it's they have the money so i got to do everything in my power to um to not get kicked

out of the pool area have you that's my goal yet i saw some people writing about this too genevieve got us a car a long time ago but renting cars in hawaii is a ridiculous feat even in the best of times and now because everything is so messed up with the pandemic or whatever like to rent a car you have to be able to afford to buy a car essentially uh andrew you're talking to a wizard

oh that's true right yeah yeah i mean yeah i use the power of my mind and my wand to rent a car

you have it all locked in and it's not like extraordinarily outside the norm of what you'd

usually rent a car for uh doesn't appear to be we're looking at uh i mean i'm it's like two

hundred dollars for the week jeez are you serious oh my god last time we went like genevieve had to like rent from some like off-brand place and we like it was a junker of a car and it was so expensive like like car rentals are notoriously expensive in hawaii if you were on the same island as me you could even borrow our car yeah well that's the thing like i'm not a big car person but in hawaii you kind of need one but you don't you don't need a fancy one though we went to a fancy dinner we got to go to the break we went to a fancy dinner and they only had valet parking and it was like a scene out of a movie we had just taken that road to i can't remember the name of it it's a very long windy kind of uh kilo yeah i think that's you're going to the like the other side of the island kind of thing and anyway and then after at the end of it we were going to go to this fancy place and during this long drive a panel fell off the the passenger side door the driver's side door on the inside like it was like it was like a scene where we're like rattling up to the valet with like puffs of smoke shooting out the bed she's not much to look at but she'll

get you where you're going radio still works all right let's take a quick break because you wrote in the notes this is a very good quiz but let's make sure we get to break on time so i'm trying to honor that i'm trying to honor what you wrote in here andrew um i'm excited about this uh we're gonna get to this next winter game right after this quick break all right welcome back to the tbtl winter games this is beautiful little uh sort of holiday music happening although I don't know if it's specifically for the Holly Snowflake music From Bottle Rocket By Mark Mothersbaugh From the Rushmore soundtrack I don't know the whole story

On this song but I like it Yeah I like it too I got it off the Bottle Rocket soundtrack here On Spotify I love the movie Bottle Rocket I think it's an often overlooked Wes Anderson film But that's because he hadn't really Dialed in all of his tweeness yet Which is maybe one of the reasons I like it because it's just a little bit different, too. How do you feel about Bobble Rocket, the movie?

I saw it so long ago, and I really enjoyed it. But I will admit that the sort of later Andersons have— a movie like Rushmore is probably the Wes Anderson film I've seen the most. Those are the ones that loom pretty large in my mind. We're talking about Wes Anderson because this quiz that we're going to do, that I'm going to do, I believe, is Wes Anderson-related, correct?

Yeah, this is from our dear friend Kelly in New York City. It says, this is a Wes Anderson movie trivia quiz. I love his movies after the French Dispatch discussion recently and other mentions of his films on the show recently and in general. I thought you'd enjoy this. I envisioned this quiz being administered by Andrew to Luke. This is a Wes Anderson film quiz, and I don't have the actual note in front of me right now, But I know that Kelly also mentioned that parts of this was taken from, oh, here it is, from the website HowStuffWorks. So Kelly made some of these questions up, and some of them come from the website HowStuffWorks.com if we are crediting this type of thing. Now, you know, you raise a good question. You know, we're talking about the soundtracks. What if I just hit go on the Rushmore? Well, let's do Rushmore. more not bottle rocket because i think there'll be more our vibe i would love it let's just start from the beginning um this is uh mark mother's bought oh i see so some of this like a lot of the music you like from these films are the songs that he has chosen that wes anderson has chosen as opposed to the incidental music uh made for the films itself right like i also like but i also

like that i mean is this the hardest geometry problem this is indeed yes so like i actually really like and you know people I'm sure know this but Mark Mothersbaugh is the guy from Devo yeah yes right I guess had a whole with who's had a whole second life as a composer of film scores particularly for old Wes Anderson so I love all of this stuff so I would be very into letting that be the the soundtrack as I'm trying to answer these Wes Anderson questions I already feel like I'm going to be letting the listeners down because I feel like I have a pretty deep knowledge of like i said maybe rushmore but after that it gets pretty foggy pretty quickly for me so

let's see how i do how much money did bill murray make for his role as herman bloom in rushmore multiple choice here 25 000 15 000 or a mere nine thousand dollars whatever the lowest one is nine thousand dollars nine thousand dollars indeed fun fact he loved the script so much that he actually wanted to make it for free according to kelly but i think i knew this story i didn't know the

exact amount of money but he did not do it for free because i think that is frowned upon in the acting community interesting and so i almost want to say i think he just like used the money to like you know throw a party for everyone at the end of the shoot or something because he was not doing it for the money, but it's a bad precedent to set within the SAG-AFTRA community to be not taking payment for work.

That makes a lot of sense. Okay, you're doing very well. You only got two wrong and one right. Let's see here. Question number two. See, this is Making Time by the Creation, right? I'm not sure what the name of this song is, but yes. Number two, what is the name of the painting that is central to the plot of the Grand Budapest Hotel?

Do you know that I've never seen the Grand Budapest Hotel?

Oh, no, I didn't know that. I actually have seen that one. There's one that I haven't seen, and it's the one where they're on the train. Oh, Darjeeling Limited. I don't think I've seen Darjeeling, at least maybe not all the way through, but I have seen the Grand Budapest Hotel. The first time I saw it, I thought it was maybe a little bit much, a little bit sprawling, but I enjoyed it much more the second time. I actually think it holds up pretty well.

But, you know, like the Grand Budapest Hotel, it just features a bunch of actors who I adore, directed by a director I really like, about this kind of interesting, fantastical place. There's nothing about it that I don't like, and I somehow have it motivated. I'm somehow still watching The Big Lebowski on my phone when I'm on an airplane.

Well, also, you probably don't want to watch the Grand Budapest Hotel for the first time on your phone. You kind of want to watch it on something that makes it special. So, okay, here I have some multiple choices for you. A. Pickman's model This would be the name of the painting Central to the movie Is the painting called Pickman's model Boy with apple Or the marble fawn

Oh wow I don't know why boy with apple Just seems like a Wes Anderson-y kind of thing I'm going to go with boy with apple Indeed Indeed you are correct

Boy with apple I don't know the movie But I know my Wes That means you're two for two This is almost – I'm going to have to make these a little bit harder here. What is the last word in the movie Steve Zissou? No, okay. Number three, what is the species of man-eating sea life that devoured Steve Zissou's partner in the life aquatic? Okay. There's a man-eating sea life that devours Steve Zissou's partner Esteban in the life aquatic. What is it? A jaguar shark, an elephant squid, or a giant octopus? I think it's a jaguar shark. You are indeed correct, my friend. It is a jaguar shark. You are three for three, including the one about a movie you haven't even seen.

Well, I had a 33% chance of getting that one right, so I can't get two. If these were not multiple choice, I don't think I would be. I would not have remembered jaguar shark, but then when you said it, I was like, oh, yeah, that's the thing. That's the plot.

Interesting that you mentioned the multiple choice because that goes away for a moment here for a couple of these questions. Question number four. One of Wes Anderson's... It's going to start with a statement, okay? This is actually a statement, not a question. Number four. One of Wes Anderson's movies has been nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. Name that movie.

Huh.

One has been... I am going to guess that it was Moonrise Kingdom. I'm sorry, sir. It is the Grand Budapest Hotel. The only one you have not seen. Aha. That is the only one you haven't seen, right?

Am I correct on that? I think that's the only one that I haven't seen. Although, oh, I haven't seen Fantastic Mr. Fox. I was going to ask you about that one. I really like that one.

Yeah, it's been a long time, but it's near the top of my list, I think.

I mean, people just love it. And of course, it's got some great actors doing the voices. It's a very emotion. I've heard it's a very emotionally powerful film. I am weird in that, you know, the fact that it's stop motion animation probably made me think, well, it's Wes Anderson, but is he doing it for kids? I mean, it obviously like there are plenty of really great. I mean, look at. Well, it's not stop motion, but, you know, the Pixar films are really great and emotionally rich films for people of all ages, etc. So I don't know what my holdup with Fantastic Mr. Fox is. Maybe I will use this TBTL winter break to watch the Grand Budapest Hotel and the Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Only time I ever saw somebody eating a hot dog in a theater was when I saw the Fantastic Mr. Fox the first time. I was doing an afternoon viewing by myself in downtown Seattle, and there was some guy who was eating a hot dog in front of me. And I believe he was also laughing uproariously at inappropriate times during a trailer that preceded the movie, of course. I almost want to say it was one of those Alvin and Chipmunks movies. Oh, like Chipwrecked or something? Yeah, I'm wondering if I'm stealing that from somebody else's story. I believe it might have been during a preview for a squeakquel of some sort. A man eating a hot dog in the downtown movie theater was laughing his ass off. That's not part of this quiz at all, though.

It's weird, the foods that, I mean, and everyone's different, but popcorn, completely acceptable movie theater food. You know, candy, raisinets, red vines, things like that, perfectly acceptable. Then you've got nachos, which I feel like are kind of edgier. Like, I love, I know you don't go in for, like, liquid cheese, but I really love those nachos that are just covered in terrible cheese out of a, that came in a bag. I mean it's again it's pretty much your worst nightmare But I like that flavor Those feel like on the line to me I think I've gotten them before but it feels like And then a hot dog and they sell hot dogs at movie theaters Someone is buying hot dogs when they see movies But it feels strange to me And yet popcorn seems perfectly natural

Yeah I'm with you and you know me I love me a hot dog I've never had one in the theater And of course I know that you don't go with me on this one And most people don't but I'm also I mean there are things about the modern viewing experience That I am very much against Like I do not like the assigned seats I do not like the big oversized seats that we watched do like that. And I hated it. Why do you dislike oversized seats? Because I don't want to be laying down in public. Like, I just don't like that. Those seats that you suck. Like, it was one of the kind that are these really big, like, easy chair seats with the feet that go up. I don't want to kick my feet up. But then if you don't kick your feet up, your lower back begins to hurt. Like I just want – I want like a theater-style seating, sticky floors, popcorn, and I want to be able to go in, assess the circumstance, assess the situation, and decide where I'm going to sit on the fly. I don't like these modern –

That seems to me like it would create much more anxiety for you, and it does for me when you're trying to pick, okay, what's the best seat and like what's the sight line? in, I don't know, it just seems there's a lot more question marks around not having an assigned seat. I really like that, knowing where you're going to sit, and I don't know if I've been in a theater that has those full-on comfy chairs you're describing, but I can promise you I would love it. You do like

your... I'm a plush boy. Yeah, and you like to like... I think it probably goes to the same feelings that I have of like, I don't like to lay down on bed... I don't like to lay down on bed with a laptop doing my work. You know what I mean? If I'm doing my work, I'm going to be sitting in a desk chair, you know? If I'm going to be at a Movie theater, if I want to be on a couch, I'll stay home and be on a couch. I don't want to be on a couch in public. It reminds me of those, like, those massage chairs in a mall or something, right? Like, I'm just, I'm not there to, and who was sleeping in this oversized, overstuffed chair before me anyway, you know? Okay. Anyway, you ready for question number five here, or should I belabor this some more? In which Wes Anderson movie does Bill Murray not appear?

Well, we know he's in Steve Zissou We know he's in Rushmore We know he's in Moonrise Kingdom We know he's in Tenenbaums We know he's in Tenenbaums, he said, question mark Because, I mean, Gene Hackman is obviously the sort of main patriarchal character in that. Let me think. Are they counting Bottle Rocket? I'm sure he wasn't in Bottle Rocket. I'm going to go with... Is that a...

That's what your gut tells you. Yeah, I guess I'll say Bottle Rocket. I'll say Bottle Rocket. You are right. Although I am now... This is driving me crazy. Who is he in Tenenbaums? I love... Tenenbaums is by far and away my favorite Wes Anderson film, and I cannot picture him in Royal Tenenbaums. Now, you are not as much of a Royal Tenenbaums person, so I don't know if I ask you this on the fly, if you can tell me.

I can't help you with that. I saw the Royal Tenenbaums in a theater. I believe I might have been living in New York at the time. Sorry, I got it.

He plays the psychiatrist. There's a boy who has some sort of mental disorder, and he works with the boy. Yes, of course, of course, of course. Right.

I seem to remember him being professorial or doctor-y or something.

Yeah, it's hilarious, actually. I'm sorry I cut you off. Do you want me to keep going here? No, thank you for helping me. Okay, cool. Yeah, congratulations. You got that one right. So I think you've only gotten one wrong out of six so far. I could be wrong about that.

Well, you helped me on that one a little bit. You kind of encouraged me to follow my bottle rocket theory.

I just want you to follow your dreams. Number seven, which Wes Anderson movie was originally going to be a musical? Now, that's interesting. Now that's interesting

Interesting

I did not know this Which Wes Anderson film was originally going to be a musical Is the question On the table from listener Kelly

Wow That is a great question That I will be 100% guessing at I'm going to roll out the French Dispatch Because I read a lot about the French Dispatch And nowhere did I hear that it was intended to be a musical Or thought of as a musical I am, just because we haven't mentioned it yet, well, I am, for no good reason, but I just wanted to make an appearance. I really liked it as a film. I'm thinking Moonrise Kingdom or Fantastic Mr. Fox. Fantastic Mr. Fox seems possible because it's a kid's... I'm going Fantastic Mr. Fox.

You are incorrect, I'm afraid. Apologies on that. It actually is the French Dispatch. I had no idea. I don't have any more context for it other than what I've just told you, unfortunately. Kelly got a scoop that everybody else forgot it or didn't ever know. Now, this one, I feel like this is the only one that would have been a complete 100% home run if I were taking this quiz from me. Because this is a huge part of this movie, and I think you'll get it right as well. Number eight, in the Life Aquatic, crew member Pele, as portrayed by, and I always say this incorrectly, is it Sue George? Yeah, I don't know how to say his name either, but I know the guy. Sings Portuguese version. Oh, my goodness. Sings Portuguese versions. Sue George sings Portuguese versions of songs by which artist in the Life Aquatic? David Bowie. David Bowie, indeed. I didn't even want to give you the. Now let's see here Kelly gave a link But I can't seem to access it But by the way I don't have Yeah what is the What's the Yeah what is the What's the I mean I guess he did a few Oh this is actually David Bowie Sorry how about this Yeah Starman Yeah

XO Charlie take three I do love this

This is my favorite part of the movie I'm not a huge Life Aquatic fan But I love the music There you go, Luke Would you like to continue? I mean, I just feel like we could go on forever. I feel like it's a good place to end. Yeah, maybe we could just keep this music rolling. I like it.

All right, let's thank some donors of the day. These are the very kind, kind people that are making today's episode of the TBTL Winter Games possible with their financial support. Consider it your Christmas. present to us melissa bowers of seattle washington even though you wrote from santa to luke and andrew which we that was sweet of you you didn't need to take the credit we know it's you but we know it's you there's no way melissa could travel all over the world giving donations to podcasts

on the same night um oh there was a great i don't we're up against the time crunch here but there's a great observation from somebody on social media recently i saw that like in a santa claus related movie you never see Santa just say okay I'm going next door now he always gets on his sleigh and goes off to some really far away place is he not doing the houses in order is this one of your classic last mile problems this is your classic last mile problem you know why is it why he should be like okay the magic is done here everything is resolved or whatever happens in Christmas movies he'd be like I'll be next door and then I'll be at the next door then next door no no so he's getting off on his sleigh and just like

hustling off to somewhere very far away no i mean it's like routing out insurgents you have to go

door to door yeah it's like fallujah hey let me just take this moment to say once again merry christmas everybody and thank you melissa thanks also to amanda carroll in washington dc thank you for supporting the program this is interesting this is not the amanda carroll no okay sorry never mind i had a carol that owes you personally money over a gambling debt i had some i had some crushes growing up, like some of my earliest crushes, and you know what? I'm realizing I'm confusing Amanda Cook and Elizabeth Carroll, but if you combine them into one person, it would be Amanda Carroll. But I want this Amanda Carroll to know that my feelings for you are just totally platonic, and we just have a respectful relationship

as a podcaster. If, though, Amanda, you were to happen to see Andrew driving his go-kart really fast, really fast around his yard, if you were to happen to see that and think, that guy is cool, it wouldn't be the

worst risk no because i am pretty cool and that's what you're noticing that's what you're picking

tell you who else is pretty cool krista carwardine in cambridge massachusetts somebody pointed out a while ago because we were talking about boston and i was shocked that boston didn't have more residents and i was saying boston looms so large in the pop culture how could it only have maybe five six hundred thousand people and somebody emailed in and said well that's because a lot of the places that we associate with boston are technically not in boston horse such as harvard

the hub is what i believe you call both of them combined i might be wrong about that

so thank you very much krista for checking in from the hub paula fowler is in burien washington thank you paula joshua cory is in dulles virginia a place i've once gone accidentally meaning to go to the other place, Reagan National. And boy, is that a real switcheroo. Never a dullest moment. Ayo! It's kind of like in Chicago. You really want to make sure you know if you're going to O'Hare or Midway. Indeed.
