Muse

All right, welcome to a Wednesday edition of the TVTL Winter Games. I'm Luke Burbank right over there. Andrew Walsh. Hello, my friend. Hello, Lukals.

Do you ever notice the beginning of the song sort of sounds like Bob Edwards trying to sell siding or something?

You got more of that right than I would have expected. Bob Edwards, the sales pitch. I am going to present the listeners, I think, with a pretty interesting opportunity here or experience.

This is probably the last show.

Why do I get my wallet getting lighter? Well, Andrew, it's something I'd like to tell you about working from home. a home business that you can run wouldn't you like to just go to your mailbox and get checks wouldn't you like that to be like no this is i think the last winter games that i'm going to not be high on cold medicine so we may be able to because as we're recording all of this i am uh a little bit under the weather and uh i am feeling it uh kind of creep up on me and i feel like i was only about half lucid during our last show the one where we did the british charisms i think i was really really starting to lose my mind now i don't know if taking a drug will help

me regain my mind those those daytime medicines i actually don't like them we were talking about this on the show a couple weeks ago there is a speedy quality to them though like i don't like them because they do make your head like a balloon that's going to lift up off your shoulders um but But there is a more – I bet you it might bring a certain kind of energy back into the show. Right.

It's either that or can I borrow that spoon that you bought, Genevieve? Yes. I'll yell it to you now. So these are the – the next show, I don't mean to jump ahead, but the next show will either be I've taken one of these, you know, daytime cold medicine things or I'm actually literally going to be lying in bed. I'm going to run. I have a very, very long XLR microphone cable that I could run all the way down the hall and into my bedroom, and I could just be in bed. But that seems like that would make the energy lower.

I can see the energy getting slightly lower. Do you have a long headphone cable, though? That's my question for you. Oh, God. You need a long mic because it is true. You're not playing any audio from your side, so you're welcome to do that, and I wouldn't give you a hard time for it. But you can get the microphone there, but you've got to hear me unless you just run back and forth. Like you run into one room, you listen to what I say, then you run back into bed and then you talk to me. But that seems like it'd be more of a high intensity workout. That's actually kind of good for me. Get your steps in.

Yeah. I tried to jog this again. Everything I say sounds like a humble brag. I tried to jog my way out of this cold this morning, which is to say I got on the treadmill and it worked for a while. Like I felt a lot better for the when we were recording real TBTL today, as that was happening. our final before we got into these winter games, I felt great. And then just I think I got I think my body was releasing some kind of, you know, serotonin or something. And I felt good. And then it all went away. And now I feel bad.

That's funny. You know what I think it's like? And I know this has been discussed before not to take this to bathroom town, but there is something that happens. Right. And it must mostly be psychological. but you know you're out somewhere and then you feel the need that you have to go to the bathroom number two very badly but you know you can handle it until you get home but the closer you get to home like you're unlocking the gate outside and your body's like okay you now have 30 seconds and then you're unlocking your front door and your body's like you have 15 seconds and i'm letting this go and you're like how do you know i swear if i'd been on the street corner another five minutes you could have handled this your body knows that there's a commode nearby i have come

so close to peeing my pants i have a little bit peed my pants in those situations before so number one for you as well oh much more well yes i guess both of them but it's i have been blessed of in the lab knock on wood but over the last for a show that was built on some of my number two problems i have been i've been pretty problem free in that department for the last few years which has been great i've been enjoying that but now i focus my energy on almost peeing my pants because the number one thing is weird because i will go from totally fine everything's normal to i am if i am not you know if i don't get to a urinal or a toilet in the next 30 seconds it's over so i don't like that i don't know what kind of tricks my prostate is playing on me these days, but it just, it really

It really goes from like a non-issue to critical very fast for me. I wonder if that's age. Probably. Yeah. I keep telling my prostate age is just a number. Yeah. And it says your number is five, as in your PC, whatever. There's some number that's associated with your prostate that's supposed to be below something. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I got a test on that. But then I don't know how to get into the portal for my doctor. So I'm just assuming if it's bad, they'll call me.

yeah and it's bad enough to call you just like that's your policy with hr at work that's my

policy with almost everything when it gets bad enough i mean when it gets bad enough the head of hr will email me and tell me i have to upload my vaccine card into the system you know look i understand that we work for a big company and they i'm sure the state of minnesota i don't know If it's a federal, is it a federal law or is it a state law? I mean, someone is saying to them, you're a company of over a certain size and all of your employees need to be vaccinated. So really what they're doing is just collecting the information so they can report it back to whatever agency is requiring it of them. Right.

I, you know, I'm not sure about that, Luke. I'd have no idea if this is just an APM policy or if they're compelled.

You just send it in. You don't even ask.

Yeah. Well, you know, I, I paid good money for those forged vaccine cards. I might as well get my use of them.

You called Antonio Brown's guy?

Yeah. No, I mean, to me, that's not an issue at all, because obviously you and I are proud to be vaxxed. I'm glad that I got the booster shot. And so if anybody wants to see it, like, it's weird. Like, it's like, yeah, it's not like I worked for it. But, yeah, it's almost like, I don't know if it's pride, but I'm glad to have it done. So a quick upload of my vaxxed cards for work. And I don't know. I'm glad to work for a company that wants to make sure that I'm vaxxed.

Absolutely. And I did. I uploaded my card But did you notice They sent some directions along too So I was reading the sort of step by step And it was so classic APM I mean I don't want to wind you up on this Because you deal with it so much more than I do But there was something in the directions that were like Because of an existing issue It will tell you that it didn't upload But it did

And it was like you know

There's probably a way to fix that I mean what took more time Typing in because of an existing And it was all these things like don't put a date in or it'll kick you out It was sort of like quasi hack into this system and upload something, but kind of you got to you got to jiggle it.

It was basically a lot of the APM systems. I will say this. And again, I enjoy being employed by APM. I want to make that incredibly clear here. But a lot of APM systems are the equivalent of you when you describe your headphone situation in your studio, Luke, where it kind of only sort of works through one ear. But if you sort of pull the plug out of the jack halfway, it works better and you can sort of hear through both ears. Like that's kind of how a lot of the internal systems work.

Right.

I mean, like I said, you got to jiggle it. You got to jiggle it. Exactly.

You're just like, you know what? Yeah, it's a little funky. You got to kind of bang it on this. You got to hit it with a stick. Like somebody once yelled to Camaro Kev about his Camaro in the parking lot of an auto parts place. And if I remember the story right, this part is I'm sure I made this up because it's more fun. but my sense is that guy was underneath his own car doing something because i feel like that's something that is maybe i just don't play in that space much anymore but that's also something i feel like i see less and less when i was a kid you'd go to action auto parts which was right around the corner from my dad's sign shop and or any or a shucks or any auto parts store and like at least three of the cars in the parking lot were being worked on yeah especially if you're in an auto parts place right like someone was always like and i camaro kevs camaro wouldn't start because of something with the solenoid and some guy that kevin does the funniest impression

of was just like hey you gotta hit her with a stick the last time i came close to even doing anything like that i was somewhere here in seattle i want to say in the kind of the kind of west side like maybe the ballardish area and i needed to replace my windshield wipers because Because some jerk face stole a windshield wiper off of our new car a couple of years ago. Do you remember that? You don't remember that? We had a series of just like vandalism things. And this was not the worst of them, although I'm really glad I didn't use my windshield wipers before I noticed. So I was driving around and I was paranoid about not having any kind of a – somebody just came along and yanked the whole thing off. So that was like precarious. And if I accidentally turned on the windshield wipers, it would have scraped this metal bar across my windshield. So anyway, I went to a store and I bought the blades and, you know, you might as well replace them both. And I was in the parking lot of the I can't remember what the I'll bet you this is a place that's been around forever. And you would know exactly, exactly the location I'm talking about. But sometimes windshield wipers are a pain in the I'm going to say this, a pain in the keister to replace. Well, like I know, I'm sorry.

earmuffs sorry maddie anyway um but somebody came an employee came up to me i think it might have been an employee coming off of his break or maybe showing up for the the late shift or something i feel like it was about four o'clock in the afternoon and he came up to me and he saw me working on the blades and then he just came and he helped me out on the first one and kind of showed me how and then i did the second one myself he showed me how to fish well that was the next weekend we went on a fishing day together cool guy made a new friend his name's trevor i

like them anyway somebody said on twitter i'm trying to find it if i can um when he said i always feel embarrassed for my car's windshield wipers when it goes on the fastest setting it's like calm down which i thought was really funny because like i thought i mean there i have had a couple occasions in my life where i've been in such a rainstorm that you have to actually have them on the fastest they will go but most of the time the fastest they will go is a comically fast

speed yeah and you're usually doing that if there's a leaf stuck underneath it or something yeah it's an accident it's like you hit it too far up and there's going you're like okay all right yeah yeah calm down you know what i like to do i think i tweeted this years and years ago i like to i like to tell my map i'm walking somewhere but then drive so the map is really impressed with how fast i can go anyway you want to talk about uh you want to talk about this i want to take a

break and then i want to do this quiz but i also want to ask you an important question i i feel like i could sneeze at any moment what are we going with you you muted your mic to sneeze the other day is that are we back to that or are we going to enjoy i'm a i'm a smr of me sneezing i

think i i would mute it you know okay professional operation here ish till apm hears this ish all right well what is the quiz today by the way um well luke have you heard the good news about Smeagol, because this is a quiz sent in by Reverend Chris, who made a little quiz called God, Bard or Lord of the Rings. I give you a quotation and you have to tell me if it's from the Bible, a Shakespeare play or from the Lord of the Rings books and movies. I'll just continue what Reverend Chris says here. I don't know if I should use the honorific or not, but I kind of like using it. Yeah, this is not like it, too. Yeah. This is not an attempt, says Chris, to get more Bible content on TBTL. I just find it funny how quotes in the culture are often wrongly attributed. But then again, subconsciously, who knows what I'm up to here?

Hmm. All right, Reverend Chris. I like it. And thanks for listening to the show. I think it's cool. We have a reverend. Yeah. A very reverend Chris listening and making us a quiz. So. All right. Let's take a break and then we'll come back and we will take on God, Barter, Loader. That sounds like grass, gas, or ass, nobody rides for free Sorry, Reverend Chris, that was kind of a bawdy reference

He's got the bumper sticker, I guarantee

Okay, this one is definitely from the Bible, yes This is a psalm God, you know what? if the bible had a soundtrack i think i would be able to get more hip to it well it depends on what it was i guess but like this if this was the soundtrack to the bible oh like i would original motion bible soundtrack i love this this just makes me feel happy yeah i want this music just

be playing kind of in the background of my life this reminds me of what at the time was one of the most it seemed like such a one of the most fun and most frivolous moments of my broadcasting career. I was a cub producer, not reporter, but a cub producer at New Hampshire Public Radio when this movie came out. And, you know, most of my most of my job was like booking talk shows about things like either politics that I didn't fully understand or like the ongoing education lawsuit in the state or or ecological things like the problem with invasive species like milfoil but then every now and then you got a plum assignment like let's do an hour on this new hobbit movie that's coming out or i shouldn't say hobbit lord of the rings movie that's coming out and so i booked some guests on it and then my boss mary um who you know she did not uh what's the expression she did not suffer fools gladly right like she was an amazing producer kind of tough as nails producer but also wonderful person but she said hey you know what let's go see the movie this afternoon let's take the host we had a fill in host who was another friend and I think the three or four of us or five of us just like we just went to the movies in the middle of the afternoon to watch this movie and I remember when I was producing this segment or this show this was the music that we used and so

Now, every time I hear the Hobbit theme, I think of that fond memory from my early 20s. That's some major Ferris Bueller vibes. Yeah, definitely. And at one point, we all had to hop over a bikini-clad teenager who was sunbathing.

I assume that happens in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Yeah, I think so. I have a woefully... I'm woefully under-informed on that film. I saw it at Oak Tree Cinema a long, long time ago. I've never seen it again. It's like a family classic in Becca's family because they only had like eight or nine VHS tapes. And so anything that was in that rotation, they would just watch it every day potentially. I'm sorry.

I'm confused. I was getting this quiz ready. Are you talking about this movie? Didn't we just do a riff track to this movie?

To Loader we did and also to Home Alone but not Ferris Bueller's Day Out.

Oh, Ferris Bueller. I'm sorry. I was wondering what you were talking about. Why you said you'd only seen it once Because you were talking about jumping over someone in a bikini And that's from Ferris Bueller

Indeed indeed yes I'm sorry And the reason I don't know that instinctively Is because I remember very little of that film I think I said this on the air so I don't need to repeat it But I've just never I never identified with Ferris Bueller He seemed like a little shit to me And I didn't understand why we're supposed to be rooting for this guy I would have felt really bad for his friend And I was also jealous that he got to date his girlfriend

Exactly, who Cameron, I believe, was sort of in love with, right? That always made me uncomfortable and sad, but I could relate to Cameron. But I'm with you. That's not one of – that's not like – I know for a lot of people that's a beloved movie of their time. I also think I was a little bit young. You know, it was already like just quasi-retro by the time that I would have been watching it and maybe understanding it. It is some of Charlie Sheen's best work, though. He does have a bit of a small part in it. Would you like to begin this quiz, though?

And thus, verily, verily, I say to thee, Andrew, we should begin this quiz.

On the eighth day of the Winter Games, we played this quiz. Bible, Shakespeare, or Lord of the Rings, the music turns ominous. That is not a good sign. Luke, the quote is, like mother, like daughter. Like mother, like daughter. Shakespeare, baby. You think that came from Shakespeare? I'm going to hit the big answer button, and the answer is, everyone who quotes Proverbs will quote this proverb about you like mother, like daughter. That quote is from Ezekiel 1644. Really? Indeed. The music's angry. Yeah, geez. I know. Ringwraiths up in this. Okay. Okay. I got the first one wrong, but that's okay. If you care about the score, I would, we're talking all proper now, I would beseech you to keep the score as I go through this? I shall wear my heart

upon my sleeve. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for Luke to keepeth his own score.

That's pretty good.

No, that's pre-cold medicine. I'm dying to hear what you got after the cold medicine. Okay, so here's your second, or here's our. We can do these together. I don't know the answers. Let's alternate. I shall wear my heart upon my sleeve. Actually, you know what? When I was testing this the other day, I saw the answer to this one. I'll be able to begin with this is shakespeare i shall wear my heart upon my sleeve and you're going with shakespeare on this one yes i want to say that's maybe even from romeo and juliet from romeo and juliet it looks like this is going to possibly be an audio answer which means i have to get rid of this

demonstrate the native acting figure of my heart in compliment extern that is not long after but i will wear my heart upon my sleeve for doors to peck up i am not from othello i was gonna say

That's definitely not Shakespeare. That is not Leo DiCaprio, guys. Oh, wait. No, it is Shakespeare, but it's not.

But it's not Romeo and Juliet. It's not Romeo and Juliet. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, I see. I did skip one here. Okay. Because I didn't know that one. Here's one that I do know the answer to. So I'll, what do you call it? When a judge decides not to participate in a trial, I will recuse myself, I guess. Judge not that ye be not judged.

Wow. The answer, sadly, is not yes. I learned that one, judge not lest ye be judged. Me too. That's why I was still in there. Judge not that ye be not judged. The person with whom you are not judging. What does Kristen Schaal say all the time on Last Man? That sounds pretty Bible-y to me, don't you think?

I think so, too, because I looked at the answer before, and you are right. It is Matthew 7-1 in the King James Version. So there you go. Also, I mean, that's an early version of people can like different.

things the hit song i believe you're right sorry i'm looking for something here that you referenced and now i can't uh i can't find i was going to try to play your kristin shawl but uh oh do you

yeah how would you save that the person for whom which you are whatever yeah because i you would

think that i apologize let me see here i actually want to play a couple of these because why not Why not just extend this a little bit more while you're over there, just probably sweating your flu sweat all over yourself? No, I'm okay.

I've just been holding in a sneeze this whole time.

Could this be it?

What are you doing? What now? This is a handicapped parking spot.

Okay, Carol. You can sneeze. Mute yourself and sneeze during this.

If by some tiny chance, a handicapped person happens to be driving through Tucson and makes a beeline for this hardware store,

they can park right over there, which is even closer to the store. That's not a parking spot. That is a spot, Carol. No, it's not a spot. And that is a parking spot. No. And that is a parking spot.

Why do I have this tape all around you?

I don't know, but I'm loving it. Everything you see right now is a parking spot. You are a parking spot. Yes, I am.

Now you're getting it.

The whole freaking world is a parking spot now.

So that's it, huh? You don't care about rules or laws anymore? What's next? You're going to burn down a church?

Carol, I would never burn down a church.

Why? It's a church. And this is a store, and that is a handicapped parking spot.

I thought maybe that was going to end with the whom thing, but it did not. I still enjoyed it. And it's relevant.

It's germane to what we're doing. Exactly.

Let's go with the treason of Isengard here for music. You want another one of these? I like this quiz, by the way. This is very good. Yes. Good job, Reverend Chris. Even the smallest person can change the course of history, I think. I know this one.

Yes. Ferris Bueller's Day

obviously I'm guessing this is a quote about the hobbits themselves and there it is even the smallest person can change the course of the future that is Galadriel to Frodo in the Fellowship of the Ring and wow I have this perfect that's great yes

that's wonderful yeah Chris thank you this is a it's a really good quiz so far okay next how the mighty have fallen

Ooh, that's not Shakespeare-y to me. I was going to go with Shakespeare as well. Let's see if we're correct. Ah. To Samuel 1.25, how the mighty have fallen in battle. Jonathan lies slain on your heights. Second Samuel. Would that be Second Samuel or the second book of Samuel?

That's funny because I don't want to say this because I don't want you to think in any universe I'm comparing the two of you. But wasn't there a thing that happened when Trump was trying to quote the Bible and he called it like to Peter? I think maybe you're right.

But would that be the second book? Is that like the proper? If you were going to the podium, what would you say? Not the podium. What do you call a podium in church? How am I losing this quiz in between the questions? The pulpit? Yeah. When you're on your way to the only man who lost, got all the answers right, but lost a quiz for all the shit he said in between.

That actually sounds like a proverb.

If you went up to the pulpit.

Lo, there was the man, and what did it profit him that he had all the answers but losteth the quiz?

Let's just keep going. If you went to the pulpit. You're the one. Yeah, would you say this is from the second book of Samuel? Yes, you might say that.

Yeah, you'd say I'm reading from 2 Samuel or maybe from the second book of Samuel, maybe. I don't know why anyone would read from that. That's Old Testament. That's old tea. I only want to spill the new tea. I want to talk about I mean that is really a thing I can't believe I'm going to say this Because I'm sure there are exceptions to this rule And people including Reverend Chris Will probably point out how I'm wrong But I tend to think that churches That are heavy preaching the Old Testament Would be less for me Than a church that was preaching the New Testament And there's still stuff in the New Testament I don't really agree with but it's a little brighter

Oh sure it's definitely brighter Certainly That's the whole thing right The Old Testament is kind of gloomy It's a little gloomy Pray you now forget and forgive Pray you now forget and forgive I'm going to go with the Bard The immortal Bard on this one I think you're right Yeah Although I think he has the order wrong

Pray you now forget and forgive I mean so if you like He's like if you forget it I think it's like forgive and forget. Like you forgive them and then you forget about it because you'd forgiven them.

Well, you know how they say you memorize it, you memorize it, and then you forget it. All right, let's go to the answer here. Oh, it looks.

Looks like we have another audio answer.

You must bear with me. Forget and forgive.

There it is. King Lear.

King Lear. I read that in high school. Did you?

That's one of the three daughters, right? Yes.

Regan and Goneril and Cordelia? Huh. Maybe. I did a project in college about Oedipus. That's not Shakespeare, is it? Nope. Oedipus Rex. What is your project? It was a restaging of it, so I had to sort of describe what this, you know, how it was going to be, like how the set was going to look and what I was going to have the people do and how where the chorus was going to be. And I remember I stayed up like it was one of those all nighters where I like stayed up all through the night until the morning because it was due at like 10 a.m. and wrote. It was big, huge paper. I think I even made some kind of little model of it at my dad's shop and took it over and like left it at the professor's doorstep at 10 a.m. And then I got an A on it. It was very satisfying. You kind of punched it up a little bit, right?

Turned into like a happier ending because it's so. Yes. You talk about gloomy. So gloomy. I think in yours, like, the family stays together, right?

Yeah, and Oedipus, at the end, he's on the ball field, and he kind of punches his arm up in the sky, and then it plays frames, and it goes,

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

I love that.

I started that way too high to try to sing that song. How about another quote? Don't you forget about me. This is the part of the week where I start singing. Oh, we're losing it. We're losing it. Yes, we are.

All we have to do, and let me take that again. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. Whoa. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. I am going to say, if you don't mind me going first. I don't. I would like to say Lord of the Rings.

It sounds like a proverb. I could hear it in all three possibilities. Because one of the things, the reason I was wrong about the first one is because Shakespeare, a lot of the kind of I guess you could say phrases that we use and things like wearing your heart on your sleeve there's so much stuff that Shakespeare wrote that's just become common language so I could hear it being Shakespeare I could also hear it being a proverb I'm gonna go with the Bible the B-I-B-L-E you're gonna go with yes that's the book for me I stand upon the word of God the B-I-B-L-E can I sing the last two episodes of Winter Games please do can it just be

a musical okay so just a quick reminder here the quote is all we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us and you're going with the b-i-b-l-e and i just keep it interesting uh you went with i feel like i said shakespeare i think i said lord of the rings okay and it's an

audio answer i wish the ring had never come to me dang it i wish none of this had happened

So do all who live to see such times But that is not for them to decide All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

There it is, Grimly the Battle Troll

I would love to have a Gandalf in my life It's just like so comforting You know what I mean?

Yeah, I mean, yeah Would you listen to your Gandalf though? No, but it would be nice to know

Be nice to know he was trying It'd be nice to know that things got really hairy. He might fly in on a giant eagle.

Yeah, that's good. And also, I'm scared of crossing bridges, so it'd be nice to have him there.

I love the audio reveals on this quiz. I know.

This whole quiz is great, and I'm sorry that you can't see the whole thing, but it's visually stunning as well. It's a slideshow. Let's see here. Do you want to do some more? We have plenty here. We can't get through them all, but how about this? Neither a borrower or a lender be. I think that's Shakespeare Okay, I'll go with Bible Just to keep things interesting here You're going with the Immortal Bard I am going with the Bible And the answer is Another audio

Neither a borrower nor a lender be For Lone Op loses both itself and friend And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry

I should have asked you to complete the line for bonus points Is that from The Merchant of Venice? That is from Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3, or as I call it, One Hamlet, Act 3. I would love to.

Many people are saying it's one of the finest. And very strongly that One Hamlet is one of the best books of the Bible. Okay, let's do another one. I know we're running over on time, but this is, again, I'm enjoying this. Okay, memory is not what the heart desires. That is only.

I feel like that's not Bible. It makes too much sense. Definitely not Bible. The words are too much in order. I'm going to say Lord of the Rings. It seems modern to me. You're probably right. I'm going to go Shakespeare. I'm going to go Bill.

Is that Bill Shakespeare over there? Is that Bill Shakespeare?

Okay, here we go. I do not know yet if this is an audio answer or not. It is not an audio answer, but it is from the Lord of the Rings. It looks like this really is a Grimli, by the way. Although, oh, here it is. Gimli. Memory is not what the heart desires that is only a mirror. Be it clear as, oh, you gotta be kidding me. Be it clear as Kaled Zaram, or so says the heart of Gimli the dwarf. Elves may see things otherwise. Indeed, I have heard that for them, memory is more like to the waking than to a dream. Not so for dwarves. Sorry, that was a terrible read. It was a cold read, though, and it was complicated.

No, I thought it was good. Let me see. Is this going to work?

Is this going to play? Are you in your bed already?

We've got ourselves a writer here. Hey, Dan, I can't see real good. Is that Bill Shakespeare over there?

That's pretty good. We've got ourselves a writer here. That's great. It's very useful.

Is that Bill Shakespeare over there?

do not do what they do for they do not practice what they preach this that's bible that's bible right i want to go with bible as well which means maybe we'll get an audio answer of no there are no audio answers for the bible it's too old but it is matthew 23 3 um so you must be careful to do everything they tell you to do but do not do what they do for they do not practice what they preach that gets very close to accidentally saying doo-doo yeah i know the bible's filth just filthy at times you gotta you know you gotta look for like the what is it the uh the baker's tail i don't know what that means you have no idea what i'm talking about i'm talking about um chaucer had uh the canterbury tails and some of them were quite dirty but it wasn't the baker who had the dirty tails who was the miller's tail was quite bawdy i believe wow look at you with the chaucer reference you know that genevieve's grandfather was a chaucer scholar like a renowned

chaucer scholar at seriously that explains a lot yeah no that explains because she's so smart she come from smart people that one does all right um that was a really fun i wish we could have done all of them but of course i had a lot i had to say before the first break that i think was equally important to the work that Reverend Chris put into that quiz.

Exactly. Get back to your flock, Reverend Chris, but thank you so much. That was actually tons of fun.

Thanks for making this thing possible. We would not be here without you and your support. I have an idea.

I have an idea. The big question is, what song are we going out with? I would like to go out with a song by the Smoking Popes. They were a band. They were kind of a poppy, punky band. I think mostly in the 90s. They later became Duval. And I know that they weren't like a Christian band. I don't know. The Smoking Popes would not have been filed under Christian rock or anything. But I know that they were a band of faith. And I believe Duval ended up kind of maybe dipping a little bit more into. They devolved into full-on religious music. But you got to love you some Smoking Popes. I mean, does the Pope smoke in the woods? You have to now. You can't do it 20 feet within a building anymore. Thanks, Obama. Jeez Louise. So let's go out with Need You Around by the Smoking Popes. This is a jam. All right. Thanks for listening, everyone.

We're going to be back here tomorrow with another winter game that we'll probably get to roughly 12% of. So do tune in for that. Until then, have a great Wednesday. Take care of yourselves and each other. and please remember no mountain too tall and good luck to all

Into your heart

That's what I know

Just where to start Cause I'm lost And I need to be found Crazy as it sounds I need you to go out

If I would stand To be on my own Then I would probably Just leave you alone
