This is Richard Splitt, and I'm here to say, you should leave a message for me every day. Your name, your number, and what you need, and I'll get it back to you, yes, indeed. Just wait for the beep. You know how to do it. Then later on, I'll listen to it. Unless I'm asleep or lost my phone, either way, wait for the tone, which you'll hear soon, unless this is broken, so I may not hear a single word you've spoken. So send an email or text me, too, to increase the odds that I'll connect with you. TBTL.

i don't want people saying uh andrew's a hero or you know andrew he's king feminist please yeah

no one would ever say that about you oh um what kind of rap do you do are you like sort of sing song your rap like bone thugs and harmony or are you more like street like will smith your mouth might be saying hey we cool but your eyes are like no we not nice to meet you no it's not it's all good so it's the story of this situation is it's extremely personal

all right hello good morning and welcome everyone to a wednesday edition of tbtl the show that just might be too beautiful to live two bros bro hit it up my name is

luke burbank i am your host there's a hidden rally ranch party in my mouth coming to you

once again from los angeles california that's right ended up staying an additional night i'm just gonna be honest with you got done with uh work yesterday had a couple of hours before my flight it was nice out i went and sat by the pool at the hotel and uh had made might have had a glass of chardonnay and was just enjoying it so much it was so nice also i saw i tweeted about this yesterday but there were a lot of kids using the the swimming pool and a couple of them got their dad to get in and play marco polo with them and i just thought as i wrote on twitter isn't that the height i mean that's the that's i would say like one of the greatest moments of your life If you were lucky enough to, you know, be able to be near swimming pools and maybe have, you know, parental figures in your life, to get your dad to play Marco Polo with you is pretty much the height of human happiness. Anyway, I was sitting there, and I reached the point where I didn't feel like going inside and putting on normal clothes and going to the airport. So I called the airline, and they let me move my flight. So here I am in L.A. still. It's going to be another warm, warm day.

Things are going to get hot. They're going to get funky. Somebody better open the window.

I was out for a little jog earlier on this warm day. It was another part of why I wanted to stick around. It's just the weather is so nice, and it's, you know, it's very invigorating to get out there. And I was going to try to jog down to the ocean because, you know, I'm on the west side. I'm near LAX, and LAX is near El Segundo, where various wallets have been left. Over the years. And I thought, I'll just jog down to the beach. And I got lost. I mean, I got lost to the point where I had to call someone for help finding my way back to the hotel.

You've got to be kidding me.

So we'll probably talk about that. And a lot of other things here on this episode 3646 in a collector series. Let the fun begin. Oh, we're also going to go through some TVTL voicemails.

I'm trying to use the phone!

We've got a V-mail frenzy today. I love listening to the TBTL voicemails because we just get to find out so much about the TBTL listeners.

We talk about you and your life, your hopes, your ambitions, your dreams, all the things that make you a very, very special person that you are.

So we will do that. And we'll talk to this guy, the longest-running co-bro of the show, maybe best known for his depictions. of the tall ships he's also i feel he has been it's been he's been a little blue on the show lately he keeps talking about bearded lips and then he keeps carefully selecting messages from the listeners that support this as appropriate behavior on the show he is andrew oh explicit ooh walsh and he's joining me right now from the roosevelt neighborhood of seattle washington good

morning my friend good morning luke there's nothing blue about talking about my bearded lips i'm talking about my face it's out in public all the time yes I'm interested in hearing your story of getting lost but I have a very important question that I've been thinking about all morning that I want to run by you really quickly can you think of a slang word for money that is named after a meat

Or I guess any protein. Is this a Wordle question? Here's what's going on. I was listening to a song, and the rapper said something about getting bread, right? Bread as in money. And then that made me think, oh, you didn't go with cheddar there. Cheddar or cheese is another term, another slang term for money. Then I started thinking about it. Isn't lettuce? Am I wrong about this? Is lettuce a term for money? Sure. Okay, so we have bread, we have cheese, we have lettuce. Maybe that's enough for a vegetarian, but I was thinking, we get a little meat on there, you got yourself a sandwich going.

Well, the problem is the only protein that I can think of that I know is used sometimes in lieu of or as a way of describing money would not be great on a sandwich. It'd be clams. Oh. How about that sandwich? Wow, a lettuce. A little cheddar. Lettuce, cheddar. Clams on bread. On some bread. A good old BLCC, Andrew, a little BLCC, baby.

I feel like sometimes we have conversations about food on this show, and then it makes you and me hungry. It makes the listeners hungry. If we're talking about a fast food chain, everybody will go out and get that fast food chain for lunch that day. This is one of the times none of us are going to eat for 24 hours.

You're not going to be at Tubbs. You're not going to be sitting in your car parked Eating your clam sandwich from Tubbs later

You know what, aptly Or ironically or interestingly Maybe, I don't think it's any of those things But I was Coincidentally It's not interesting But I got a slack message from our colleague Annie, who works at American Public Media With us, but is also based here in Seattle I got a slack message from her This morning that said Hey, I have a very important question for you uh is tubs actually good because i'm uh i'm in that area today uh and um and i think i've heard you mention it on the show you think you've heard me mention it on the show are you kidding me i i've had a tattoo of of their cajun turkey sandwich uh on my back for the past two years um but anyway yeah so i was advising people in the ways of tubs before we even started the show

today that's how i started is it actually good i mean i know you eat there and and i know that's That's a weird question because if it wasn't good to you, you wouldn't go to it. But there are certain foods or certain restaurants that I absolutely love me a Boston Market. In fact, there's a Boston Market by LAX on Sepulveda, maybe the last existing Boston Market. And for many years when I would come to LA for any reason, I would make a stop at the Boston Market. Now, I don't think Boston Market is good food, but I kind of love it. What's your sort of relationship Or what's your take on the quality of the sandwiches

At Old Tubbs First of all, a Boston market in Los Angeles Is the weirdest place Oh, they still have 339 Boston market locations In the US I think most of them are probably in New England Because it's Boston market Although I'm not sure about that Do you know that your

I'm not letting you answer the question But do you know that where you and Vives lived When you first got to Seattle Where you had your smoking attic where you would go and, you know, play your games. Do you know that Starbucks? There's like a kind of fancy Starbucks. Yeah. That was a Boston market. No shit.

Just Boston markets on the West Coast is so weird. That was a Boston market right there. There are 24 in California. There are 32 in New Jersey. There are 41 in New York alone. There's one in Puerto Rico.

And ironically, none in Boston. The Cobbler's Children go without shoes.

Where's Massachusetts? 15. There are 15 in Massachusetts compared to 32 in New Jersey and 29 in Pennsylvania I would well here's exact to answer your question about tubs here's exactly what I said to Annie I said yes I've dedicated to whole hey dummies videos to them and then she said okay that's where I'm going for lunch I said listen they ain't fancy it's a sub shop in Lake City next to a vape shop but the sandwiches are good like you know that's what you're getting I mean you're not going in for a fine dining experience in fact I don't think they're letting anybody eat inside there now and even during normal times they have like three tables and none of the chairs match each other um but as far as far as a you know takeout sub shop is concerned yeah the bread is really good i think the the ingredients are pretty good i like the kids that work there they're very friendly um they don't let what is the new sign on the door say they don't let high school students in groups of they're like no more than two groups of high school students at a time or something like that there's a school nearby it's proximity to nathan hail my alma mater that's right exactly and so if you go to a certain time of day you see all these uh high schoolers hanging out outside of it but um you know so that's what it is it's a it's a

takeout we have a sign we will not tear some of the bread out of the bread for you They're very busy.

That's my ask that I always feel very sheepish about. I actually had them do that at – yeah, or I had them do it at the – there's a pot belly sandwich place in Portland, in the Portland airport, PDX. And when I was flying down here, I hadn't had a chance to eat at all on that Monday, and I was worried that there wouldn't be any food on the flight. So I ran up to the pot belly, but I also then – I was the only person. And I think I mentioned that that airport was abandoned that night. So I did go ahead and ask them if they could tear some of the bread out of the bread, which feels to me like very high maintenance.

I want to go back to this Boston Market thing now because I'm just like kind of reminiscing because I used to – there was a Boston Market kind of near my house in Concord, New Hampshire. I don't know if it's still there or not. I guess I could look it up since I'm on the website. But actually, I don't see New Hampshire on here anymore. But, you know, the food – like you say, like I know what you mean. Like, you enjoy it. It's kind of sui generis. Like, kind of a fast, casual, heavy, like, turkey-based, Thanksgiving-based. Like, cream spinach.

I know that's not – I know that's your, like, least favorite thing. But I get the – Oh, that's shocking to me because cream spinach is mostly liquid cheese.

Oh, whatever recipe we make here at home doesn't have cheese. And it's cream-based, but it's –

I guess I mean cream. I just thought that was, like, that kind of – Anyway, so, yeah, you were saying that kind of whatever you call that category of food.

Yeah, it's just like – and so I ate there – I have eaten there plenty of times in my life. It's not something that I, like, kind of reminisce about usually or think about, but I know what you mean. It's like for some reason it rings your bell, and that's great. Sorry, I'm setting you up for all these bell ringings, and you don't have your bell with you. Well, it's on my own. It's on me for not bringing it to LA. But I love the fact that, like, for you, the only location that you find yourself by is in Los Angeles. I just can't get over how, what a, like in Southern California, like it's the one, I can't believe that there's a Boston market in LA and that anybody's ever in the mood to like come in from the blazing sun to sit down with your, like your turkey and then your three sides of stuffing, mashed potatoes and cream spinach. Again, all the things I've eaten there before, I don't know if I've had their spinach, but like I, it just seems so antithetical to the LA lifestyle.

well how about this making sure i get to the airport early which you know is not my move like building in an extra 45 minutes so that i can stop by the boston market on sepulveda in the shadow of lax like that's a thing i've done wow i mean that's i respect it i like it extra weird i love it so uh who knows maybe i'll i mean the thing is what i used to get what i used to really like there was their turkey sandwich which again it's like i don't even think that's what they're known for like they're you know usually you get kind of comforty food you get some turkey a pot roast stuff like that but i will i like their sandwiches for a while but i was gonna say i could actually pop maybe see if they're still in operation today although not eating turkey anymore kind of yeah i was gonna say would slightly dampen the experience for me but i was gonna say this i'm in that neighborhood by the way i'm i'm a stone's throw from from that boston market or at least where it used to be and this is a neighborhood west chester that over the years i've stayed in pretty frequently in my life there a lot of times particularly if i was traveling to la and i wasn't doing it for work meaning i was paying uh for my for my travel costs this hotel that i'm staying in right now uh which whatever i'm leaving so no one's going to show up here it's called the hotel june it used to be called the custom hotel and the custom hotel was kind of this underappreciated gem i thought first of all it's very close to the airport it was pretty designy and it was cheap because a little threadbare i mean it kind of still is to be honest with you like it's probably not unlike some elements of your house andrew that you have been fixing up where you're like oh okay i guess we just didn't run that trim all the

way to the end yeah right do they still but i remember going i stayed there one time myself and i think i met up with you one time there too um but i remember like the room was you know fine it was like weirdly spacious it was very big but like you said not super lush but they did have some device that would like spin colors on the wall or you could i can't remember it would like rotate through you could set your light in the room so to rotate through colors or something like that it was like this little touch of like extra it's like that's where we're putting the

extra huh custom yeah now now this is a new company i would say it's nicer than it used to be but it's still not like it's not fancy and usually what happens when i come down here i I don't know why I'm just getting into my travel proclivities. But when I come down to L.A. for work, if I'm working for CBS television, they have some deal with a lot of very swanky hotels, hotels that I would never, ever, when I'm paying for it, ever stay at because I wouldn't be able to afford it. CBS gets them for cheap, and we get to stay there, like the Beverly Wilshire and the Beverly Hilton come to mind, the Lowe's Santa Monica, just like really bougie places. Well, because of where we were filming today, or I should say this trip, it was just convenient for me to come stay here, and so I am. This is a different kind of hotel than I usually stay in. What's been interesting is this hotel is way hipper than the places I usually stay. i usually stay at places that are very expensive so the clientele is different it's older it's just kind of a vibe this hotel has more this is your brunch nightmare andrew on kombucha like this is the this is the steroidal version of what made you feel insecure in la sometimes where you'd be like waiting for brunch and just you're looking around the the style the fitness level the the all of it of all of the people this hotel is the locus for that i found out it's like i have never felt older i mean everyone's perfectly nice but i don't think i have felt older in a long time than i do staying in a very trendy but affordable hotel because that's the other thing it's affordable enough that it's it's attracted a younger clientele yeah and every time i go downstairs to like get something or go out for my jog it's just it feels like the future it's a bunch of like people who appear to be gen z on their laptops working probably in crypto or something drinking cold pour over cold press coffee like it's just it's a world that i am not really generally um a part of

but you'll probably run into them at the boston market later well that's is that why you kind of

don't want to go hey guys we're going to bm later oh god damn jeez i just got right out of the elevator and i said i said i got something to say i'll meet you all at bm later by the way

i hope they don't confuse it with the one in misenbach germany i'm looking at there oh there's a boston market god it might be called misenbach market though i'm not sure oh my god i bet you

none of that is German, what I just said, except mine. Anyway, I'm in West LA. I don't know what you, again, I'm in this neighborhood and I've been, I've spent a lot of time in this neighborhood is what I am trying to say. And so this morning, yesterday I went in one direction from the hotel for my jog and that was, that was fun, but I wanted to mix it up and I wanted to take full advantage of being down here in beautiful, sunny California. So I thought, you know, el segundo is at the end of the runway at lax the the sort of neighborhood or maybe town of el segundo california and i'm looking at lax so if i go to lax and i take a right then i'll hit el segundo which is the beach and i know that because when i when i dabbled in surfing when i first moved down here many many years ago the mummy and i went to el segundo and tried to surf And it was a pretty big disaster It was literally a major disaster So I thought that's what I'm going to do this morning So I got out there Jogged down to LAX Hung a right First of all, that's a big airport, Andrew I don't know if you're familiar With Los Angeles International Airport But it is a big

I thought of it as one of the nation's more cozy little Airstrips Boutique airports

Yes, it's actually The TV show Wings was based on LAX just a little airstrip in the i mean yes we all know it's big but like if you've never the human it's like vegas or something where like the scale between a human being and this thing not a human being who's sitting in an airplane landing or not a human being who's in a car driving past it but a human being who's on their own two feet relative to the side the footprint Of LAX is wild

Oh I mean like lot C alone You would literally you could lose your car I mean we won't have to go through those stories again Because I know we both have lot C stories But lot C you can literally Lose your car forever That's one parking lot

I'm just like running Along and planes are taking off and landing And I'm like it's like me And then this like you know very Intense fencing situation to keep People off of the actual runway So I'm just doing that and i keep going i keep going so i take a right and i'm just running along the runways for like two miles or something it looks like a scene from argo i'm getting no closer i know right i'm getting somehow i feel like i'm getting no closer to the beach uh-huh like i'm thinking i'll see like and i think i think what i was really well i was confused by and this is super detailed and boring but on the other side of the airport from where i am so there's a freeway called the 105. And if you take the 105 to its

if you're driving west on the 105 and you take it to its terminus, I think that's El Segundo. Okay. Like, you'll go past, LAX will be on your right, and if you just keep going, you'll hit the beach. That's, again, so far from where I am. But that's kind of in my mind what I thought was going to happen. I thought, oh, I'll hit LAX, I'll hang a right, and then I'll just be at the beach, and then I'll go run around on the beach a little bit, and I'll come back to the hotel. I am just running and running and running, and I am now getting somehow, I mean, I can't see the water, And it doesn't appear that I'm getting any closer to it. And then suddenly I'm in a different neighborhood. I'm in a neighborhood called Manchester, not Westchester, which is where the hotel is. And I now realize that I can't even, I don't even know what direction the hotel is. Like, I don't even know, I don't know where I am in time and space. And I'm getting a little nervous because, you know, we've got to do the show and stuff. And so I'm kind of like, so I call the hotel from my phone. I mean, excuse me, from my watch, which is thankfully, ding, a phone again. And I call the hotel. Thank you, Andrew. I call the hotel. And, of course, I realize when they pick up, oh, let me also mention, they're very nice. But the people that work at this hotel look very much like the people that stay at this hotel. Like extremely conventionally attractive, extremely in their 20s folks who have all been very nice. Don't get me wrong. But I realized as soon as this young person Picked up the phone at the hotel That there's no way she's going to be able to help me I was like, hi I think I'm in Manchester I don't know how to get over to Westchester And so then she's like putting me on hold And she's like, can you see Lincoln From where I'm like, no And I was like, I realized I don't have enough information to help her Help me get back to where I'm trying to go

Your go-go gadget watch Which doesn't have a map function?

Well, Andrew, that's what I ended up ultimately doing. When I realized it was futile to try to have the hotel front desk talk me in, I then went into the map, which is, I have to say, it's not super easy. It's not like being on your phone. I mean, the watch face is pretty small. There's a lot of appy things that don't translate very seamlessly to the watch experience. But I was able to figure out that, get this, I was two blocks from the hotel. you had gone all the way around i just done a big circle but i got scurred and i stopped because i was like not recognizing anything i wasn't seeing any streets that i and when i looked on the map i realized oh if i go on this if i go on this street that i'm on for two more blocks i hit lincoln and then that's where the hotel is so this whole thing happened because i just got i got scared if i would have just kept jogging i would just hit the street that the hotel's on and then i would have realized oh i was literally two blocks from but because of the geography yeah um and like i was i was like sort of in a i couldn't for some reason i couldn't see this hotel which is the tallest structure for three miles around here but i just couldn't see it from where i was and i got kind of i got disoriented and um but again only i feel like i'm one of the only people who could get lost in this environment it's so everything is no way pretty clear it's pretty laid out i've spent many many many days of my life here and i had to call

for help on a four mile jog no airports and that kind of that that kind of um development area and zoning stuff like those are very complicated areas i'm looking here i can't find something that says like manchester neighborhood but i'm definitely on a map where there's like there's the manchester townhomes there's a cocktail bar called the manchester it's closed right now luke So sorry, no eye-opener for you But no, it looks very Oh, I usually get my drinks at Boston Market That's just a gravy

Can you imagine? What if they opened A bar, like what if they had a full bar At the Boston Market? Oh my god What kind of wrench would that throw into the works?

What kind of drinks would even Would just like a full bar get whatever Or would it be in some way thematic To the Boston Market? Most of the cocktails would have gravy in them? Yeah, exactly, a side sipper of gravy

oh god uh okay anyway the good news is i made it back here we're talking we're having a nice time and when we come back from this short break we're going to listen to some voicemails because it sounds like they have been sort of piling up so we will do that in just a moment here on old tbtl

we was hoping for some razzle dazzle razzle dazzle that's right man razzle dazzle on your mark on your All right, let's thank some dazzling donors.

These are the extremely, extremely generous folks who are dazzling us with their donation of dough each month. This is, of course, pretty vital to what we're doing here as far as getting to have this for a job.

Do it five days a week. So we want to thank Virginia O'Connell, a.k.a. Virginia.

That's what we get for putting the option of pronouncer guide on the form. Get all kinds of smart alecks.

Virginia O'Connell is not one of those college types who talk your ear off, Andrew. She bought a hot air balloon. but uh anyway uh virginia is in fort worth texas and says i love you guys oh y'all are always there for me i'm ready to party with the best of them speaking of our friend our friend in that we've never met her nor will we ever kristin wig yeah my brain was you know my brain was doing something

there like wait there's a connection i wasn't quite i wasn't quite making it yeah it's all

all in the Kristen Wiig verse. Sometimes I want to say Kirsten Wiig. She's part of that Kristen, Kirsten, Krista, you know, shadowy cabal that is along with George Soros plotting too. Did you hear that Judge Ketanji Brown was asked about George Soros today In her Supreme Court hearings

No I didn't but I'm glad they're keeping everything On point and not just

Yes very much did you hear Ted Cruz Sorry I'm sorry Virginia That I'm doing this during you know what let me just Let me do this Virginia says this podcat This podcart brought Holly Franz into my life and she is a Dazzling generous soul And a light in my life Shout out to My 10 Convert my auntie Wendy So it sounds like Virginia was able to get Auntie Wendy to start listening to the show. Which makes Virginia – Shout out to Wendy. Yeah, TBTL daddy, right? Exactly. And Virginia's 11, Mike. And Virginia's 5, Biscuit. Ah. Cute. So cute. Thank you, Virginia. Appreciate you very much. Did you hear that Ted Cruz was – First of all, he got in almost an altercation at an airport in, I think it might have been Bozeman. It was in Montana. I did hear that, yes. He was trying to fly home. He missed his flight. They had stopped boarding or stopped letting people go to the gate. And he's alleged to have said, don't you know who I am?

I didn't read that quote, but I was going to say that to you. Like, what do you think the chances are that those exact words came out of his bearded lips?

I read reporting that said that that was a thing he said. So, you know, I wasn't there. It could have been misheard or, you know, maybe, who knows. But that was, the word is that he actually literally said some version of that. And that they had to call the security over, not that he was, you know, taking swings at anyone, but it got heated enough that they called security to try to just make sure that everything was okay. He was able to take a later flight just so he could make sure to get back to D.C. in time to ask completely ridiculous questions of Ketanji Brown Jackson about if babies are racist. Babies will aid it. Some. Yes. Some book. I don't know. Listen, I will. I mean, honestly, some. Yes. Bart Harley Jarvis. Boo. You suck, Bart Harley Jarvis Honestly, I would have forgiven Ted Cruz Almost everything if he would have shown up With a picture of Bart Harley Jarvis And asked Ketanji Brown Jackson If babies are racist And that was the picture I will admit I don't know the book he was I saw a picture of it I don't know the book he was citing But it feels to me of a piece Which is this culture war that's completely ridiculous and ginned up around this idea of critical race theory or this idea that we're teaching our children the wrong thing or that they're racist or that babies are racist I mean it's just one of those things that I think has almost no certainly no bearing on the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson as a Supreme Court Justice but it's just a chance for old Ted Cruz to grandstand and put up some stupid visual aid on an easel to, you know, basically throw a distraction away from the fact that there was some other thing happened in Texas that was not great. Like, well, he was in Montana fighting with airport security. It wasn't quite like the Texas freeze when he went to Cabo, but there was stuff going on that was like, it would have been probably better if your senator was here in Texas, you know, with his constituents as opposed to in Montana.

and yelling at airport security anyway that's neither here nor there i'm sorry i guess i just needed to get that off my chest yes i saw uh let me i guess just get this off my chest not i kind of regret bringing this up before we get on clear my chest before we get to the next dazzling donor um we've been referencing i think you can leave skits or sketches or whatever we're supposed to call them uh throughout the show today uh so i guess those who know know those who don't don't care hopefully but um somebody was tweeting out today and i can't find it exactly but somebody like took screen caps of all the different ways the um major newspapers were describing the questioning of of the judge yesterday and they were using things like racially tinged and now i'm looking for it on the fly racial overtones racially tinged all these things of not not saying racist but that and somebody somebody wrote underneath it it's like

a racial gumbo yes that is perfect just don't ask him about santa yeah right you wouldn't ask tom petty that would you we are collapsing under the force of too many inside jokes this is everybody

we always knew this is how it would end just a like a favela of of inside jokes that have now cross-pollinated to where we're making a joke about a thing Billy Bob Thornton said on Canadian radio, but we're sliding it into a thing a character said on a I Think You Should Leave sketch where he basically is Santa, but he plays an action hero. But you're not supposed to ask him about the fact that he's Santa or he goes full Billy Bob on it. Doi. Try to keep up, people. Why can't we get more downloads with that kind of accessible content? I'm going to clip this and send it to our bosses. Well, the good news, Andrew, is for whatever reason, people seem to want to support the show financially, thankfully, on the subject of which, Maestro?

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

People like Marshall Mawson in San Francisco, California. Marshall says Hey Cobros This is a bit of a strange Dazzler message But it's what's on my mind I'm planning to move From San Francisco To Amsterdam In the next few months Indefinitely

I Do not see any Boston markets In Amsterdam Uh oh I'm looking here No Nope Thank god

I got to Marshall Before he made a terrible mistake I'm going to move to Amsterdam indefinitely Because I've always wanted to live in Europe And especially Amsterdam I just went through a breakup I'm sorry Marshall That sucks man I just went through a breakup And I'll be doing this on my own And I'm pretty nervous about not knowing anyone I also don't have a job or housing lined up But I'm starting to work on those I do have a good amount of experience Traveling around the world And I'm looking for a more chill European life when I can travel to many more amazing places regularly. So my selfish request is for some sage words of wisdom and some encouragement that it's not a terrible idea to do this and that I'm not too old at 35 to make such a big life change. Thank you. Signed, Marshall.

Well, we already talked about the Boston Market thing, right? So that's definitely a negative column.

I mean, we're just here to give you useful information, Marshall. Zero Boston Markets. But I actually think this is going to be great, Marshall, like the most I would say the most fruitful, exciting times in my life have been when I have had major life shifts and I've moved somewhere where I don't know a lot of people and where I'm kind of getting, you know, it's just it's there's so much new information. There's so many new places to explore, new people to meet, like waking up every day. I think about, like, you know, when I relocated to Los Angeles in my 20s or when I moved out to New York or things like that. Just, Marshall, my guess is if you are someone who's contemplating this, you're wired kind of the way I am, which is you like an adventure. And this is going to be a huge adventure. And I think it's just, like, I think it's going to be great. And 35 is not old.

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I mean, first of all, this kind of thing, I don't care what your age is. if you're wired for it you're wired for it you could be 55 or 65 or 75 whatever um i don't think that that's really you should play into it i understand why you're having those thoughts marshall because i think about my age a lot too but when i was uh reading this earlier i was thinking about um the time that you know i moved to seattle the situation was completely different because i was with a partner who had a job so i could leech off of her for for a while I'll be.

But, you know, I came to Seattle and I didn't have a job. And I was like just kind of volunteering at the radio station, working with our pale Ross Reynolds. And we didn't know each other that well at the time. But he and I would usually be the first people in the into the office in the morning to start prepping the show and looking for show ideas. And I remember you'd get there before me. Well, you know what you mean? You and I didn't work together.

Oh, I thought you meant when you're doing Ross and Burbank.

Oh, you're talking over. No, no. Ross Reynolds over at KUOW. oh sorry i was i was thinking dave ross we had too many rosses we did have a lot of rosses yeah no this was like when i first came to seattle and i didn't and i didn't have a regular job i had just been you know i'd given up a job as a senior producer across the country and then i was here and i was like working literally for free at a radio station and i didn't have a job and i was trying to learn photography so i could make some money taking photos that didn't totally work out But anyway, all that is to say I made some reference. I felt very old. I felt very old to be doing this particular thing, you know, which is just to quit my job and go to a city where I didn't have a job lined up. And I referenced at some point something about, you know, how old I was. And Ross just turned around in his chair. He said, don't say that. In that very Ross-y way of being nice. And it stuck with me. But he just has a way of just cutting through bullshit. He just told me. He didn't ask me. he just said don't say that you're not old you're like 33 like that's not old and it's kind of and i think he even said something like i think he even might have said something like it's irritating when when people in their 30s call themselves old or something like that and it's i can't explain it sounds rude in the way i'm saying it it wasn't it was just frank and it stuck with me right so

what we're trying to say marshall is you've annoyed us with this you've annoyed ross reynolds

What are you going to do? You better move to Amsterdam.

35 is – you'll probably see Ross and Harriet walking around somewhere. They'll be pedaling a couple of bikes through Amsterdam. No, Marshall, 35 is not old at all. And Andrew, that's a really good point. I mean 75 is not old. If you have an adventurous spirit and you're up for new experiences, then there isn't some certain age that's the right age or the wrong age to do something like this. I am very, very confident, Marshall, that in 10 years, if we check in with you, you will say that it was the best thing that ever happened to you, moving. Now, you may not stay in Amsterdam. Maybe you move to Amsterdam and you meet somebody, but they live in Prague and then you end up in Prague. Or, you know, you make a bunch of friends who are building an off-the-grid house in, you know, Scotland. And who knows? Like, I don't know what path your life is going to take and if it's going to involve Amsterdam, you know, for the long haul. But I bet you anything in 10 years you will say, I couldn't have imagined my life if I would have just stayed in San Francisco, you know, with just like a Boston Market on every corner. I mean, that's made you soft, Marshall. Too much access to Boston Market.

Boston Market definitely made me soft at one point in my life.

I'm here to tell you it's made you soft, and you need to challenge yourself by going to a place. You need to go to a Boston Market desert like Amsterdam. And I think it's going to be great, though. I'm not just saying that. I really do think it's going to be great.

And I would, just to say the quiet part loud here for one second because everybody's thinking it, you know, do focus on getting that job, though, because we have another TBTL-a-thon coming up in just a couple of months here. and you've been super, super generous with your dazzling donation. But, you know, now we kind of expect it, right? I mean, are you speaking for both of us here?

Sure, they've got that socialized medicine over there pretty soon. Marshall's going to think this is a socialized podcast. It ain't. This is the U.S. of A. last time I checked.

Glad we got that out there. Thank you, Marshall. 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, let's do a little female frenzy. I did not plan on playing that, but I just have it here on the soundboard. I love it. We're not really doing an email frenzy. We're doing a female frenzy, which probably, usually it means one voicemail. I mean, that's the irony of these things. I have so many of these.

I was like, how many is Luke going to let me get through, actually? Let you get through. Okay, I will let you start right now. What do you want to start with? Luke, what do we say is the most important thing? Breakfast. Exactly. You nailed it on the head. If you had your bell, you would do that. This first email comes from a listener with a very important breakfast-related question.

Hey, Hermanos. I have an etiquette question for you guys. So we go to, my boyfriend and I go to this cute little diner outside of town, and we like to have pancakes there. The only problem is their pancake syrup is awful. It's so bad. It's, like, barely sweet. It doesn't taste like maple at all. So we were wondering, and I don't know if this is just weird, if we should bring our own maple syrup. Like, this is in Wisconsin, and I'm from Canada anyway, so we're very snobby about our maple syrup. Is it weird to bring a whole bottle of maple syrup to a diner to put on their delicious pancakes? Yeah, let me know what you think. Thanks so much.

Bye. What do you think, Luke?

I would do it, but I would keep it on the low. Mm-hmm. which is a little bit tricky when you're talking about maple syrup. Do you really want to have a thing of maple syrup loose in your purse? That seems like a recipe for disaster. But I think what I would do probably just to kind of – because here's what I could see happening. I don't think it's bad form, but I know that if it was me, let's say I was going to a place and I liked their pancakes, but I didn't like their syrup. I want to bring my own. what i would inevitably do is get into an awkward conversation with the server where i would say hey just so you know we brought our own syrup because we really love the pancakes we kind of like our own syrup and that's cool right and we're not saying we don't love the pancakes like i would get i would just over explain it to where it would just be a waste of everyone's time when the more efficient thing to do would be to just order your pancakes and then when no one's looking just apply your own syrup to it from some kind of vessel that you and then you know i wouldn't bring of that old timey maple syrup jug with like the for some reason super tiny handle on it for like a right i don't like a baby's finger or something i don't know why they why maple syrup jars or jugs have that but i would put it in something very safe and secure so it's not going to spill out and then i would just apply it subtly when no one's looking you can get yourself these little

glass bottles that are not big at all and actually perfect uh you know the ones i'm thinking of Genevieve made some vanilla extract Yes, I've got it in my house It's delicious, by the way So you can picture that little bottle, Luke The rest of you, just imagine the type of bottle That Genevieve would put vanilla extract in Just imagine being friends with Genevieve in real life You've already done it Anyway, just picture these little bottles I would say fill like four of those up with I like a lot of syrup Fill maybe four of those up with syrup Between the two of you Luke is right You need to be careful about leakage i need to be careful about sneezing oh sure that was me that was me muting my mic trying to sneeze but i when i said the word sneezing that was it that's all i got out like i sneezed on the word sneezing and you guys all heard it like that's as much as i got out of that sneeze now i have like a lingering sneeze somewhere in my face the worst waiting to get out sorry about that that was uh should i leave that in or was it a disgusting noise luke should i cut that out of the no it It didn't sound like a sneeze.

It sounded – it didn't sound like a sneeze. You muted certainly the majority of it. I just heard you say sneeze and then it went quiet.

Yeah, and then it went quiet and then nothing happened. Then I muted my mic and just sat here and looked at my microphone for a second. I'm like, oh, I guess that's it. Anyway, put some of those in a little Ziploc bag just in case it leaks a little bit. You don't want it leaking all over your backpack or your bag or whatever.

Now, what you're saying is put the vessel in the Ziploc bag. Don't put the syrup in the Ziploc bag.

Fill a – yeah, don't do that. Or just fill a Ziploc bag full of syrup and then get to the restaurant and then just snip off one corner, one bottom corner of the bag like you're frosting a cake and just drip it on. No, just put it in these little bottles, but then put the bottles in the Ziploc bag so it doesn't leak all over the place. And then I don't think you say shit to anybody at the restaurant. Like when the server turns their back and they walk away, you pull out your little bottles, you syrup up your pancakes, you put the bottles back.

job done job done indeed the other thing is if you i doubt this would happen in wisconsin but there is a small chance that if you got a very very efficient rule following server they might tell you you're not allowed to bring your own food in not because of financial implication which is of course usually the thing i think is behind everything but there are places that do not want you consuming your own food because if you were to become ill at some point it would be impossible to figure out the source of the illness i remember being i was probably like 23 20 24. Addie was turning. Maybe I was 24. Addie, I think, was turning like eight. And we had her birthday party at a McDonald's in Lake Forest Park. And this was a big party. And, you know, I was very financially strapped in those days. And I went across the street. So, you know, everyone was eating burgers. Kids are going crazy on the Playland. I went and bought this huge cake from like a Safeway across the street and brought it back and was stopped at the door. You cannot bring your own cake in because of this exact rule. And I mean, the cake was probably like 30, 40 bucks. That was probably the entirety of my checking account in that moment. Standing outside of a McDonald's in Lake Forest Park holding $40 of shitty sheet cake that says like, happy birthday, Addy.

What did you end up doing with it? Did you move the party? i made everyone come out to the parking lot and then no no cutlery no plates just have a handful

of cake kids i i think i just like took the cake home and then you know maybe slowly ate it over the course of months or something i i mean they were it was there was no faking it because also part of that i don't know why i'm going to get into the mechanics of having your kid's birthday at mcdonald's but you pay some extra fee and then you get a like they assign a mcdonald's employee To the party At least that's how they did it at this place So there was a spy there I couldn't like sneak I couldn't like pretend I was a horse And the front end of the horse is me And the back end is this huge sheet cake And sneak into the McDonald's playland So anyway I think I just had to eat it on the cost Point is that's another reason To not bring it up with the staff At the place in Wisconsin

And I will say this If the staff does give you any grief about this at all There are two Boston markets in Wisconsin There's one in Glendale, Wisconsin, which is on Port Washington Road. You're probably familiar with it. And they're open now. They close at 10, just so you know. And then same hours at the Boston Market. That's in West Allis, Wisconsin. I don't know where West Allis is, but that is on South 108th Street. So you do have options is what I'm saying.

I really feel like we need to come up with a funny show title that references how much Boston Market's getting, you know, mentioned in the show. Like, I don't know if we call it like the, you know. How about we let the Boston Marketplace decide? It's a Boston Marketplace of ideas. Okay, I like where you're going with this.

We're getting closer.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Just keep thinking about it. If anything comes to mind, just yell it out. Don't edit. Just madman. Just yell it right out because I feel like we owe it to the listeners to indicate to them how much Boston Market Talk is going to be happening today.

And going forward. So, Luke, do you remember, of course you do, it was just last week, I think, although time has been acting funny again as I'm gearing up for this move. I think it was last week or maybe the week before that I was annoying everybody with stories about how certain earworm songs get stuck in my head as they do, but then they morph into a weird mashup in my head. You somehow start singing one song in your head And then you realize at some point You get to a point in the song Like maybe the chorus And you start singing some other song instead And for some reason those two songs

And was yours like I Like Sex and Candy meeting LA Fox Let's Go All the Way

There was the Sly Fox Let's Go All the Way But it was What was it That was Rosanna The song Rosanna Yeah then for some reason Rosanna into Sly Fox Exactly yeah so anyway Our pal Linder has a similar thing I found this super interesting And delightful

Hey co-bros It's Linder in Rhode Island And I was just catching up Listening again To one of the shows from last week Where you're talking about misremembering lyrics And doing accidental mashups and what I'm now going to call a musical portmanteau. So one of the ones that happens to me all the time from my little nostalgia playlist is from the Greatest American Hero theme song. And so how I remember it, for some reason, when I'm not actually listening to it, when it's just in my head, it goes like this. Look at what's happening to me. I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world Should have been somebody else Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse And a star-spangled rodeo And so that happens to me All the time in my head And I can't stop

I can't stop it until I actually bring up either one of those songs and listen to them full-on just to cleanse my brain.

Power out. I had no idea where Linder was going with that. And first of all, those notes get pretty high near the end of the first song. And I was like, wow, Linder nailed those high notes, first of all, and then right into Rhinestone Cowboy. I had no idea, but I totally understand it.

Oh, so that makes sense Because those songs, I mean, basically Linder was Girl Talk before Girl Talk was Doing that, you know what I mean? Like those songs Kind of make sense as a Sort of a combo I'm trying to remember if you're Rosanna Into Sly Fox makes as Much sense musically

Well, it was like there's a part Of Rosanna where they say meet me all The way, which I think is a stupid lyric And then that was mashing up with some part of my brain had this crumb of a memory of that sly fox song take me all the way and then they mentioned disneyland once in that song and somehow i must have heard that as a kid and just like i don't know they fused together somehow um we didn't i feel like i don't know somebody

emailed us about we talked a lot about rhinestone the other day yeah the movie the movie and that Oh, my God. I don't know if you ended up using it or not. I don't know what ends up at the very end of the show, but you had played the trailer for Rhinestone as the little Easter egg at the end of the show, and the audio was so weird. But they were also using the song Rhinestone Cowboy in the background.

But whoever was mixing it was like, hey, we're going to mix some of the audio of the movie and scenes of the movie over top of the song Rhinestone Cowboy. Makes sense. I would do it, too. But they were just like, the song was up here, and then they would just pull down the fader. like abruptly just to like drop audio on top of it was the worst mix ever um i have another voicemail here luca and how are you on time by the way are we uh i'm good one more here okay um do a couple more okay great um this is from another listener who didn't leave their name i don't know if that was intentional or not but this is kind of my worst garbage anxiety

nightmare right here take a listen to this this is re garbage can liners and at our house when we first moved in a long time ago we ordered the smallest can um if this is in Bellevue and so we didn't have like a tiny can but it was the one you know that was the smaller and they said though oh, there's already a can at your residence, so you can just use that. Well, it turns out that can did not have the liner in it. So we were paying that small can price, but we were getting the large can, and it was the best. I loved knowing that we were getting the full can.

Now, I want to catch people up in case they don't know what we're talking about because it might be different rules in different cities, but I was talking on the show the other day about how there's three different size garbage cans you can get from the city here in Seattle and you pay more for the larger ones and the thing that I realized when I was ordering my middle-sized bin the other day from Seattle is the middle-sized bin is basically structurally the same size as the large bin they just insert this physical what the caller calls a liner here it's like a plastic like governor that just makes it so you can't fill the bin as full as you would if you were paying full price so it's a way because you're not paying for the bin you're paying for how much stuff you can put in the bin and so that's what they mean when they talk about a liner there and so um this family is paying for the middle size but getting

a large size bin which that that part's awesome so we were paying that small can price but we were getting the large can and it was the best uh i loved knowing that we were getting the full can for the not full price and then years later one day i come home on garbage day and our can is just gone. And I called very indignant to the garbage department and was like, my can is gone. And they were like, well, that's because you haven't paid your bill for like four months. And I was, again, very indignant. Of course, I paid my bill. I never not pay my bill. And then my husband came home and was like, oops, I don't know how I missed that, but I think I forgot to pay the garbage bill for four months. And so I had to call the garbage company and apologize.

order a new can and of course it came with the friggin liner in it and it is so small and my garbage barely fits in there and we don't even make a lot of garbage and every week as I'm dumping my garbage in there I think about how for so many years I had the sweet satisfaction of a large can that I wasn't paying for. Power out. Now the listener does not mention

Whether or not She's furious At her husband Every time she's trying to shove It's amazing

It's amazing this marriage has survived this I mean I've gotten divorced over less Recently Yeah right exactly I mean that's one of those things I mean we're half joking but that's the kind of Thing that can in a relationship Because of the repetition of it Because the listener Every week puts the garbage in the garbage can and then rolls it out there i know i would have a hard time not thinking oh my gosh if he would have just paid the garbage bill but the scam could have just continued unabated you were just

getting away with murder you were living in the land of milk and honey and garbage and you even knew that you were getting a you were getting a deal and it was just oh i mean the fact that i mean there is a certain pleasure in um kind of getting away with something right like as far as as far as things go this is a relatively victimless crime here but there's something even more delicious about like you're getting away with it like we're not paying the full price but we're getting the full size bin and then you just simply or you don't your partner just simply forgets to pay the bill for four months and it's all it's like suddenly there's a spotlight on you the government can see you they take they confiscate the bin now you're paying again and Now you're back on the grid. You have to follow the rules like everybody else. And you had that sweet taste of the large bin. That's the worst. Yes.

Ugh, terrible. Well, this is what happens when the government comes for you. Right, exactly. This obviously involves NATO, the Bilderbergers, again, the aforementioned George Soros. Like, we don't live in a free country anymore where they want to charge you the amount of money that you should be paying for the amount of garbage that they're hauling away from your house each week. Now, what I would say to the listener also is don't don't don't be angry that you now have to live within the rules of the garbage system. Be be happy for all those years that you were able to get away with a scam. You know, you can't focus on negative. It'll drive you crazy.

I love that. In fact, that's a perfect lead in to this next voicemail from our pal listener, Lisa. Take a listen to this.

Hi, friendos. This is Lisa from Bellingham. I'm a little bit behind on listening because I was traveling in Scotland, which was fabulous. But I just listened.

Listen, I'm happy for you, Lisa. But that, I mean, are you just trying to make us all jealous? Just throwing that in there? It's like the student who comes back from their summer abroad and they're saying boot instead of trunk. Okay, we get it, Lisa. We get it. No, I'm happy for you.

So I think it was Wednesday's show. And y'all were talking about, you know, the days that you're like, okay, am I seeking pleasure or am I seeking happiness in this day or in my life? And trying to find a balance between that. And I thought I might share something from my younger days. My grandmother had really severe rheumatoid arthritis for the last about 10 years of her life. and this was back in the 70s where there was no treatment at all for it and so she she suffered quite bad um and uh and for the last few years of her life she was pretty much bedridden living in an assisted living facility and i i went to visit her i was in college and went to visit and we were sitting there talking she was lying in bed and she just said oh i wish i wish that i could just relive a day from my younger years, from when I was younger and healthy. She goes, I don't even care what day it was. I just want to wake up and think, oh, I remember this day. I'm so glad I get to relive it. So whenever I'm having one of those days, which I kind of am today, I think of that. And I think, okay, when I'm old and kind of incapacitated, I'm going to wake up one morning and relive a day. And this is the day I'm going to get to relive. And that kind of readjusts my attitude big time. Anyway, love the show. I'm trying desperately to catch up, but if I have to declare bankruptcy, I will. So take care. Thanks so much for everything you do. Bye-bye.

I really like that. I've been thinking about that since I heard this voicemail a couple of days ago, that sometimes I think to myself when I'm having a really bad day or a moment where I feel especially, I don't know, embarrassed about something I said or whatever, um often throughout my life i will say hey listen in the future this won't seem so bad you might not even remember it well this goes a step further this goes a step further to say someday you may look back at this day that seems like a bad day to you but you'll actually look back at it and say that was a good time in my life like yeah that we're all human we have ups and downs but like what a great period that was and it doesn't matter if maybe you talk too much on that Zoom call or talk too much at the baseball game when I was sitting behind that couple that wasn't having it anymore, you know, like, that was a great time in my life.

Yeah, I try to bear that in mind as much as I can. And sometimes I'm successful at it. Sometimes I'm not. But, you know, I'm so blessed, you know, in that my physical body, you know, is working for me and i'm you know i'm relatively healthy and the things that are the things that are not ideal in my life or that you know caused me to feel sadness i'm very fortunate that those those things are not as catastrophic as the things that a lot of people are dealing with and also that just become part of life when you know you get to a certain age where your body you know starts to break down and a lot of things about your life change and to the to lisa's point it's like you know and i'm i'm hoping by the way that i find somehow a way to be like a jolly also 90 year old like so on my jog as i was right before i called the hotel i jogged past this very very older looking gentleman he had a walker but he was out you know for his morning walk and i waved at him and he just waved back with a big grin on his face and i was sort of having two thoughts in that moment one thought was i am so lucky that i'm 45 and then i can i don't need a walker right now you know that i can just be out jogging like that that's something my body allows for like that's really that's real privilege for me and then i and i thought this guy would probably rather not be using his walker he'd probably rather just be you know like me getting lost near lax and having to call the hotel and then i also had the thought this guy looks like he's still very much enjoying life like the grin on his face i actually got nervous waving at him because he had both hands on his walker if i wave at him and then he takes a hand off the walker like i didn't want to create a situation where he felt socially obligated to wave at me

but he took his hand off the walker just he's that gregarious he like knows he knows how strong he is and whether or not he can take a hand off the walker but he's like oh please just nobody wave at me i can't resist waving back please nobody wave that's gonna be me when i'm needing a walker

i'm gonna be the person who's and we'll still be doing the podcast by the way so buckle up listeners and it'll be like i'll be the person who's like andrew today on my walk i'm sure these people thought i was just being a complete jerk but i couldn't i didn't want to wave because i needed to keep both hands on the walker um but now they think i don't like him but i do i didn't want to fall over but my my two thoughts were one i'm very lucky to still be in a phase of my life where my body works for me generally and i also thought this guy looks like he's finding ways to really have joy in his life like it was a beautiful morning the birds were were singing he was out walking you know in the way that his that he does now so i was kind of like i was really having two not competing thoughts but two thoughts which was i'm really lucky to be the age i am and i am also going to try to really think about my my my older years my much older than this years as not necessarily being something i should dread because on this particular wednesday morning this guy who was pretty bent over and and pretty old looked like he was having an enjoyable wednesday morning so anyway that's kind of i don't know it's sort of related a little bit to what lisa was talking

yeah i really i really like what lisa had to say there so thanks for thanks for sharing that with us. And I have a feeling that the thing that you think about, Lisa, that little anecdote that you told that you come back to, I have a feeling like I'm going to come back to that now. That's one thing I do like about this show. Sometimes I'll take like a silly inside joke that I had that I've had with Genevieve for for 20 years, like the literally the 20, you know, the stupid thing that I would watch before movies in the early 2000s. And like now that is that was just like such a private joke that I couldn't explain to anybody or so I thought but now that is shared with everybody on the show we have all these

emails coming in from people with their own stories of the 20 anyway like this will be like that and that's really nice now a whole bunch of other people will have that anecdote as well that they can think about on a bad day so I appreciate you sharing totally in fact I wouldn't mind one more

oh yeah okay well okay you know what no that was a nice you're right I that was nice and then I I wanted to it's like a sandcastle and it was totally it was perfect and I just wanted to shave down one side of it and make it a little more perfect and then now we got to shave it on the other side and then we'll just be here for another hour so no that's good that's a good that's a very nice kind of closing i think final final thought

yeah i love that so thanks again i do have a few more that we can share in future shows so uh the voicemail line i should say is 206-414-8285 206-414-tbtl

andrew i have some truly shocking news i just texted you a possible show pick i don't know if I emailed it to you. Yeah, I saw it. This is bad. The Boston Market on Sepulveda in this neighborhood that I'm in by LAX is permanently closed.

How can you not keep a Boston Market open in Southern California?

Who didn't want wet, gloppy macaroni and cheese served more or less cafeteria style? Who didn't want to risk their life for that, Andrew?

i'm trying to figure out if this is reflected on their website or not if their website is um old that's a great question because i'm i also want to see like can i can i get you closer to one um

let's see here i don't know where me and you're like i'm like inspector gadget and you're like penny you're in the command center you're you've got a headset you know on and you're like you're guiding me in towards a boston market the other thing is if the boston market in westchester village which is what this one was called if it is if it's listed as active on their website that calls into question everything you've said during this show and in terms of listener marshall uh other things involving where there are and are not boston markets if we can't trust the boston market website we've got real problems we have to basically retract this entire episode i i wouldn't

be able to post it or i'd have to just bleep the whole thing um i don't think it's listed on their website so i think their website is up to date so thank goodness for that are you willing to go out to the valley how do you feel about van nuys oh i feel great about van or or i don't think i can

make it before my flight but i guess i'm coming home tomorrow andrew exactly wait i saw another

one on here that oh rancho cucamonga is that closer to van oh sure i don't think so i think

rancho cucamonga is is maybe south of los angeles and north of san diego i think it's kind of isn't Is Rancho Cucamonga home of the – they've got a minor league baseball team, I believe, that has a great name, the Rancho Cucamonga. That rings a bell.

But I'm still Googling others. I mean, where's Huntington Beach? Huntington Beach is south of here. Oh, that's south of Long Beach. Okay, no, no, no. That's no good. That's no good. That's no good. Okay. I'll tell you what. Maybe we can do this off air. I think that Van Nuys is going to be the close. I knew it was the Quakes. Oh, right. We've talked about it.
