Hello. Hi, everybody. I promised I wasn't going to make a toast, and I'm not going to. Just going to do a little freestanding comedy, and if at the end everybody wants to raise their glasses to Pam and Jim, then so be it. Hey, what is the deal with the smart car? How smart is that? Those things are tiny. Can you even drive them in traffic? Yeah, I'm so smart. E equals MC squared. I drive a smart car. That's not smart in my book. The real smart car is Kit from Knight Rider. Knight Rider. That's a car that can talk. Can a smart car talk? Nope, that's not smart. And also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Very smart. And everybody can laugh. It doesn't have to just be the idiots.

TBTL.

Well, all right. Hello, good morning, and welcome, everyone, to another edition of the TBTL Winter Games. It's the penultimate winter game this year. We've got today, we've got tomorrow, and we are going to have, we're going to roll out a barrel because we're going to have a barrel of laughs. And it doesn't have to just be the, what does he say? Doesn't just have to be the idiots, Andrew. Hi there, Andrew Walsh.

Hello, Luke. There is, you know, I love me, my Kixi radio, even though our relationship sometimes is rocky and I have some criticisms about there. expanded playlists and no longer just focusing on the real golden oldies still I listened to a lot of Kixi during the holiday season they were just wall to wall holiday music mostly Christmas music and I just sort of plugged into that and so I was hearing a lot of the usual Kixi promos and commercials and one that has been airing for a long time is for the John Tesh Radio Hour which is basically just sort of a packaging that the station puts around their music programming during the day. So you turn on the radio any time between, I'm going to say, intelligence for your life, 11 a.m., maybe between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., you have Kixi music, and then interspersed is intelligence for your life. I wish we had a drop of that. Intelligence for your life. Hosted by John Tesh, and it's like, you know, you know what it is, Luke, but for those who are not in the know, it's little bits of little information from new studies and whatever and it's probably mostly bullshit but I love it but they have promos for it too that are sprinkled out throughout the day and they are so hilariously bad they are John Tesh and they'll begin with some sort of weird statement and this is one that I need to just record like 24 hours of Kixi so I can't grab this because he says one it's just like you're listening you're in commercial break whatever then all of a sudden you hear John Tesh say you've heard of smart phones how about a smart you it is i'm not handling this well i don't feel competent i'm depressed i'm slouching like and then as a promo for like listen to intelligence for your life how like who wrote maybe it's katie spranger who wrote you've heard of your smartphone now how about a smart you listen to intelligence for your life on kick see radio meanwhile it's probably one of the most

popular radio shows in america i love it to the degree that it's a show or whatever it exactly is like it's i'm sure you know i was in the car the other day oh i was you know what i was in a um i was taking a lift and um uh so i did you know when i'm driving my car i've got my whole system now of podcastery depending on what time of day it is i'll either listen to opb or i'll listen to one my podcasts it's rare that i'm just in a car listening to the radio and uh the um the guy driving the car just had on like a pop music radio station and just hearing the dj talking about the weather and avatar and like and just like all that stuff you talk about when you're doing like commercial uh music radio and it just sounded it sounded exactly like all of that has always sounded and i found it very comforting i thought you were going there yes me too and i mean that's

why and well we don't have to get into this again i talk about it too much but like uh last weekend um i was listening to uh just like my nighttime radio dramas from the 1940s on kick c and it's like such a that's super comforting and there there's just something about radio that i that i'll always find comforting and you know we might be the last generation to sort of feel that way

except i will say and of course we're now when this is airing it's it's a bit later than when i heard this to hear this dj in portland talk about avatar's opening day you would think that it was going to be the the biggest grossing movie of all time he was like oh my gosh avatar and then everything i've read since then is disappointing opening days for avatar oh my gosh i haven't been

following that that's right it is open now i mean listen and again i don't want to harsh anybody's mellow like if you're into avatar god bless i'm glad it brings more happiness into your life um but i hated the first movie so much now i think it was like the first modern movie i saw in 3d so that was like you know i think that was a big appeal for a lot of people but it felt aside from the technology it felt dated at the time almost with a sort of obvious after school message about treating people with respect and not that i'm against treating people with respect i treat some people start with your co-host shut up you shut up little man is that how this ends for us are we those two guys living in that apartment in san francisco eventually it's got to um when finally everybody leaves us and it's just down to us um but uh you know i just disliked it so much And then to hear then like I don't know what was it 10 years later you hear that they signed some like the biggest deal in Hollywood history with Cameron for another five sequels or something. And I was like what is this an Onion headline like how could a movie that I don't even think age that well to begin with 10 years later they're just inking this thing and then saying in another 10 years they're going to produce it and release it. And now here it is, 2023 or 2022 at the time, and it finally comes out. And I've sort of been waiting to read the reviews because I just can't believe that modern audiences think that this story sticks.

I think that I heard Eric Deggans talking about NPR. Again, I apologize. We're bringing you yesterday's news tomorrow because this is, you know, we're recording this stuff kind of in advance. But at the time of recording this winter game, which has become much more about Avatar The Way of Water's box office than any of us imagine going in, least of all, James Cameron, the review from Eric Deggans was that the 3D is amazing. Like the 3D is even, you know, it's the three dimensionality of it is more amazing than maybe any other movie he's seen. The plot's pretty thin It goes back into these kind of weird tropes That are, you know, sort of the Na'vi Are a stand-in for indigenous people And they kind of do a lot of things That, you know, we think of In, you know, movies and pop culture As being the way that indigenous people are And you could look at it and say Well, this is showing respect For their way they commune with nature It's like, yeah, but it's also kind of Flattening folks out

And reductive, yeah, yeah

Super reductive It's still got that Like, it's not like, it isn't like they didn't update that. They didn't do something different with the Na'vi characters. There's still these kind of, like, mystical, otherworldly, slightly simple, but beautiful creatures, you know? It's like, okay. But this is, now that I'm reading into this article on CNBC.com, this number is staggering to me. According to James Cameron, Avatar The Way of Water needs to make $2 billion at the box office to break even. Oh, my goodness. That's what James Cameron How did this fucking cartoon Cost two billion dollars to make

I know I know

And the thing about James Cameron is This is what he always does He goes way over budget With some insane production And then everybody thinks that the movie Is going to be a huge failure And then it makes more money than any movie in history Did it with Titanic He did it with the first Avatar So he knows what he's doing But I just don't understand how a movie how do you spend two billion dollars making a movie i don't understand money any i don't understand numbers anymore i mean like what because i have like i haven't watched i've seen clips of this avatar thing the other thing that i don't understand about again i don't know why i'm sorry we're talking about avatar right now but like it strikes me that it's a cartoon right which is fine or like whatever it's an animation but it's got all these big stars in it and they're all covered in those you know ping pong balls in like a green screen and they there's all these stories from the set like they had to learn how to hold their breath for like hours on end and stuff and it became this like macho contest at the who could hold their breath the longest so it's like you have these actors actually underwater almost like suffocating so that you can have this

cartoon of people that looks really fake i don't understand i know how cinema works i know i've quoted my own tweet way too many times here but i remember leaving the theater and watch you know having seen the first avatar and tweeting something along the lines of they should have left that shit airbrushed on the side of a van because that's how that's like how i felt but now i'm just being pretty cruel to something that may be something in our audience love so i will do an underdog

film franchise just trying to get a little bit of earned media buzz

all right let me tell you about today's quiz okay how about that

tell me about the quiz and then we'll take a break and then we'll do the quiz and then we'll do the quiz and then we'll come back and then i'll apologize for being a spoil sport um now this is interesting i didn't even realize we were doing this this is a little bit of um i don't know if this is sloppy planning on my part but luke i just realized we have two quizzes in a row from the same listener this is from listener flash and again i thought that was by design just say uh it's a feature not a bug why didn't yeah why didn't i sell the sizzle on that like you would say like why didn't i be like luke you might have noted here three yes two and one so um we did this on purpose this is pretty exciting uh because we had two quizzes submitted by our dear friend of the show and listener flash i decided to group them together and of course yesterday's was the great quiz uh involving troy mcclure movies uh from the simpsons and today's is called a hard act to follow this is what flash says about it i'm going to give you a number one hit from a certain year a musical hit And you have to guess what song was the next number one that unseated it. Okay, so here's a sample question. We'll give you a sample. We'll go to break, and then we'll get into this. Here's a sample question. The Jay Giles Band's song, Centerfold, held the number one spot in 1982 for six weeks before passing the top spot on to another band who held it for seven weeks. What was the song that replaced it in the charts? Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. i love rock and roll by joan jett chariots of fire by evangelist who knew that that was by evangelist not me i did you did yes i don't feel like we were a big chariots of fire family i could see that i could see that for some reason you know before you said something to me and i was i was not um ready to kick the hacky sack right back at you because for a second i thought is that supposed to be the vangels which sounds like a like a girl group from the 60s but no Vangelis I guess that's a that's a solo Artist Vangelis a piano yeah I think

It's like a person he's you know It's like a piano composer Type of thing but we were a big We were a big chariots of fire Family because it's you know it's a very Christian Story it's the story of this guy Eric Little Who You know was a missionary In China and was this very fast Runner but like lived by These very Christian principles I don't actually even know how big of a movie chariots of fire was or if it was just big in the christian community well the song was huge like

i've never seen the movie all i knew was like i feel like in the 80s i heard that song a lot it inspired something in me and in society as a whole and i knew it involved people running on a beach i

want to say yes there was the training where they're running on the beach there's also a scene where i think it's eric little is knocked over during a race and you think well he can't win this race and then he gets up and he wins the race andrew i didn't say i wasn't going to watch

it lemon um okay so the answer to that question which one of those songs knocked off the jay giles band centerfold the answer is a go ahead you have the answer in front of you i believe do

you not oh am i supposed to be playing this along with you i'm sorry oh this was just a sample

question and so i had put the answer in the sheet it was i love rock and roll by joan jett and the

black hearts okay yeah i'm looking at that now okay okay so so that's how the game is going to work we're gonna have to guess the song that came after the the song that uh we're gonna be told

about by listener flash exactly and i appreciate you trying to get in some bonus points here at the beginning using the sample in the same way that you get you know some credit for getting your name right on the sat but i had to stop to that all right uh we're gonna take a quick break

and then we'll be back with a hard act to follow today's winter game All right, let's get into it with a hard act to follow. I'm going to tell you something, though, really quickly, Andrew. You know how I started a Twitter burner account? Yeah, just like an egg account almost, right? Just an egg account with a nonsense name that I don't have any profile there. It's just so that if I want to try to figure out what's going on in the world, I can do that. Because a lot of times Twitter is just a really great place for breaking news and just kind of that sort of stuff. And so this little account, I tried to, I'm probably following five or ten people, but I'm like following the New York Times, I'm following our friend Chris Hayes. I tried to just like follow newsy things so that what I'll get, the algorithm will just deliver me the news because that's what I'm doing this for. And for some reason, mostly what it delivers me are topless photos. Her? Yeah. I don't understand why it thinks Is that just if you don't have If you don't cultivate your Twitter account Did you just start Does it start from the premise of You definitely want to be seeing Lots of like cartoonishly Shaped people women that are topless

That's interesting no Because I told you that I have a little secret account Where I write really terrible jokes and i have zero followers but for some reason it took me a long time i finally turned it off but like it was the only of my many twitter accounts i'm not joking because i have one for various podcasts the tbtl one is on my phone my personal twitter etc or whatever but i had this one little secret account where i wrote my bad jokes and shared them with no one and um i did not turn off the push notifications on that and so for the past i don't know a year since i had that set up i would just like wake up every morning and there were there would always be two suggested tweets waiting for me and the ones that i would get now keep in mind i have some content on my twitter feed but they tended to be like i don't know a lot of people griping about things or sort of weird comedy which was good because i'm following a bunch of weird comedians on that but i have not gotten a lot of like sex sexual jibber jabber

spam that's almost all this account is getting so i just get basically things i'm following maggie haberman so i get like maggie haberman tweets i'm following our friend chris hayes uh so i'm getting some of that stuff but then it's then a lot of stuff for the golden state warriors for some reason and a lot of like i don't know if you'd call it pornography um but a lot of just like nude photographs which to be honest with the first time i saw it i was i was slightly shocked because i'm not just trying to act like i'm you know so sort of innocent but i don't think i even knew that was a thing on twitter like i didn't know what the rules on twitter i'm like what you can actually show yeah it's not because instagram has some rules about that it's just not a that's not a part of the world of twitter that i was ever on so the first time i just saw like a a new naked woman randomly in this timeline and feed i was like can they put that on twitter and also why does it think that that's what i and pictures of messy that's messy holding a trophy on the private plane uh topless ladies and uh tweets related to the new york times and one

said ronaldo i um okay i'm sorry we have a game topical okay yeah okay i guess we can get back to that yeah and but also i was going to say like that that also is not so great if you're like on

an airplane and you're just checking your twitter you know like that if i were to and i thankfully i wouldn't now but if i were to just like log into this twitter it's very possible something extremely not appropriate for everyone would just be on and it would seem like that's the thing i'm there looking for right which i'm not that's not this is not where i'm going for that kind of content i don't understand why it's just assigning it to this account randomly here's a hard act to follow

luke this quiz is a hard act to follow after that titillated story websites that's tweeting yeah exactly okay stiff act to follow oh come on number one it was like we we'd already walked up to the edge of it like that was kind of like the the restraint was you know i love edging that's the thing oh my god the eagle song hotel california who would hit number one on may 7th 1977 i like the way these are written um so hotel california number one in 1977 what song replaced them as the number one hit just one week later oh hotel california only one week as the number one hit

was it sir duke by and that entire week was just the song playing one time yeah

Because it's so long I'm not sure if that's a long song Or if it just feels long That guitar solo feels long to me Yeah I don't really I don't even know if I've ever listened to that song All the way from front to back So which one of these unseated Hotel California Sir Duke by Stevie Wonder I love that song Gonna Fly Now by Bill Conti Which I don't think I know Or When I Need You by Leo Sayre Is that the when i need love i don't know i know leo i know the name leo sayer but i don't think i know that

song i hold out my hand and i touch love the hotel california is six minutes and 31 seconds

oh yeah it's a long song for radio play certainly so everyone go back and retroactively enjoy that

joke that i made yeah no wait we'll wait okay yeah um i'm gonna just go with what was the first

one again um the first one was hold on let me get back to the pdf because i want to i think you should know this song i'm talking about uh sir duke by stevie wonder i'm i'm hoping it's sir duke um before we get to the answer let me see if this is the song that i thought it was when i need love i reach out my hand and i touch love i never knew there was so much love keeping me warm night and day this is from top of the pops yes oh yes oh yeah i don't know if i have the lyrics totally wrong or if they change up later in the song it's smooth man yeah it is leo sayer i think i learned how to play that on

guitar I think that's one of the first things I learned to play on guitar maybe trumpet okay back to the PDF with the quiz on it I'm going with Leo Sayer you're going with Stevie Wonder am I right about that yeah I think you're probably right I just want it to be Stevie Wonder let's see here the Eagles released an album called greatest hits 71 to 75 but ironically Hotel California would hit number one in 77 the song that replaced them when I need you by Leo Sayer ladies and gentlemen I only i only just wanted i just wanted to hear that song because i like it do you know that song what that

song reminds me of a little bit that era when i was a kid like really little i lived at this rental house by north sort of near northgate mall and i remember i had this little buddy that lived down the street and i don't know why exactly but he gave me like i came home one time and there was a present at my house it wasn't my birth i don't think it was my birthday but it was a music box and it was a music box that looked like an airplane you remember when those like music boxes That were kind of roughly welded Copper that would be in the shape Of like something else were really in style I can sort of picture that yep This one was like It was like an old fashioned maybe like a biplane Or an old fashioned airplane made out of That kind of rough sort of copperish Stuff and you twit you wound it up And it played the song you light up

My life oh yeah those are I can see those being in the same

And I just remember listening to that song as a kid And crying like Being emotional maybe not like weeping but feeling some kind of ineffable feeling as I listen to You Light Up My Life. Not even, you know, not the real version. It's like the music box version. Bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong, bong. And being like feeling emotional as a little kid over that song. Maybe it was because I thought the present was nice. Maybe it's because there's something in those notes. But I remember. And anyway, that Leo Sayer song reminded me of that.

Yeah, I could definitely see. This is the Debbie Boone version. I don't know if this is the definitive version.

I think that was the biggie.

I think we're far cry from the chorus, huh?

But I am weeping. Yeah. Yeah, why do I want to make you cry? We don't have enough time for this. Also, we're going to get pulled from Spotify. Let's just get going. All right, sorry. No, no, no, that's on me, man. Number two, jumping forward three years to 1980, the Pina Colada song was bumped off. Number one, Rupert Holmes, right? Yes. Bumped off number one position by a solo artist song that held the top spot from January 19th all the way to February 9th. Was it Call Me by Blondie that replaced the Pina Colada song on the charts? Rock With You by Michael Jackson or Lady by Kenny Rogers?

Huh. I believe it's Lady. I don't even know that song. I just took a stab at it. I loved it. It was like that was like if Cool and the Gang did it. Uh-huh. lady you pick me up when i'm down um ah wow you know what i was amazed was a bob dylan song that

i didn't realize was a bob dylan song until i was in my like 20s in new hampshire was um

lay lady lay really i'm surprised you didn't think of that as a bob dylan song because it sounds like a bob dylan song but maybe that's just because i've always thought of it that way

you know i was i think i was used to his voice in the later years when it was more um scruff or rough or whatever and um that is such it's such that's his era of kind of high-pitched melodic

singing and i had no idea what's the name of the guy that we love that does the trump impression austin james or james austin james austin johnson good call um dylan have you heard his um uh let's see late night have you heard him doing his dylan stuff his different eras of dylan i don't think With Seth Meier I saw a clip going around I didn't know that's what it was I didn't click it I feel like this is right up your alley Because this goes to exactly the It's actually Fallon, sorry

Congrats on You've been knocking it out of the park On Saturday Oh, your words It is, but yeah Let me see if I can try to find the I remember when you first

Let's see here

Yeah, yeah, yeah This is

Oh, this was a great idea But he was just like

An era of Bob Dylan that you like doing the most? Oh, there's too many to pick I mean, I love the modern, rough and rowdy ways The last record, so good It was fantastic But the Bob Dylan that we love is the Greenwich Village Bob Dylan

Would you be up for showing us your Bob Dylan impressions? Yeah, I could walk you through some Through the decades

I love the way how natural

Yes So organic

Did we hear Bob Dylan singing Jingle Bells? Oh, yeah, sure. Yeah, we could maybe start it off with that folky Greenwich Village Bob Dylan. Here, let me get this microphone. Is he playing a guitar?

No, the band.

band is but he's got a harmonica he's always giggling on these songs

i think calvin coolidge said that

it's like some professionalism please bob but then he did how about the crooner when he did The crooner kind of Sinatra. The Lay Lady Lay. See?

Yeah, the National Skyline. The National Skyline Bob Dylan. He had a completely different voice all of a sudden. Yes, he had it. It's like...

Jingle bells, jingle bells. I jingle all the way. Exactly. Well, if all you need is to write. Well, you know what hurts, I've been saying.

Let's sing this. Why are you singing like that? We don't even need you to sing. You're Bob Dylan You have your own voice But he created a new voice But then he did the whole Like rock band tour Like the Rolling Thunder And he's like touring All over the world He's filling arenas He's got the Rolling Thunder Review band That's my favorite Dylan Because he's unintelligible He's just screaming Yeah

Here we go there you go that's so great that is really good yeah so i didn't know yeah i kind of i did not i

I was not aware of that crooner era until I got National Skyline, you know, when I was again in New Hampshire and kind of hanging out with a bunch of crunchy people who recommended it.

Okay, so wait, am I trying to guess something here?

So we're only on to question number two. You know, this might be a situation where, do you want to just get through this question and then maybe save some of this quiz for tomorrow? Maybe that's a good way to wrap up the weeks of summer games here. But a quick reminder, we're looking for the song that replaced the Pina Colada song in that number one spot in 1980 was it call me by blondie i think it was call me rock with you by michael jackson or lady again for some reason by kenny rogers i don't know why i'm gonna go with kenny rogers in the hopes that i get to say that uh in a funny voice some more the answer luke is are you ready for this yeah i'm ready i want to make sure that you're ready I wanna I can't do it Rock with you by Michael Jackson

How does that sound? I wanna rock with you Oh, not bad Dance you into the sunlight That song That song slaps, wow Neither of us were right I mean, my version of that song slaps

Is there another version? I've already forgotten it Well, I'll tell you what Believe it or not, you're less problematic

although i will tell you this well i hope you're less problematic no i'm just it's interesting to see the you know there's a uh i was i was in new york not that long ago and there's a michael jackson musical on broadway and uh it just seems like he's been you know for better or for worse i don't know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna say anything particularly interesting about this but there's definitely been he's been it's sort of like he's being re-admitted into sort of pop culture and polite society because there was really that period of time where it's like are we going to play Michael Jackson music anymore and it seems like you know his legacy has just waited out that and waited that out and now I didn't know that

I'm looking at this now MJ the musical I didn't know that I knew of one like in a small like kind of a troop that is only because I have a friend who's connected to it who had one in LA that I think was looking at a more like kind of looking at the complications of his life and you know from childhood on but um this is just like what a review like a musical review of michael jackson

songs like that i believe so and i'll tell you those i mean those those broadway theaters oh yeah like they did the research because this is a majorly expensive productions yeah so they're not doing that hoping that people go like they've done some kind of research and they've decided that it's a good investment for them um you know because of people not being as having as

complicated thoughts around michael jackson as maybe we do i'm kind of surprised about that because i was never a huge michael jackson fan and so it was never like something big for me to give up listening to michael jackson but i remember i was somewhere i can't remember where it might have been like the eagles or something and this is a couple of years ago and i was just playing

the jukebox and i think for some reason i had a limited selection and one of them was a michael jackson song and so i just put it on and uh somebody said to me like kind of surprised like oh we're playing michael jackson now and i was like oh yeah i i guess so and i think that's the last time i did that again i'm not a big michael jackson guy anyway but i was like okay good i guess our culture really is saying like no like that some very terrible things very evidently

happened i i don't know why this this isn't a regional issue but i wonder if it also would matter what where you were at where the bar was you know um but but on the other hand it's not like there's a part of the country that's like hey you know what we don't mind yeah stuff that michael jackson was accused of doing so i don't know yeah i don't know where my theory goes but

i am surprised about this broadway thing so it kind of bums me out i wish people would kind of

consider that a little bit more well i needed to bring you down on this penultimate episode of the Winter Games so I can build you back up on tomorrow's program. Great. It's working.

Hey, let's

thank our daily donors before we skedaddle today. These are the wonderful, generous folks who are donating every month, and that is how we are able to do the show. Folks like Jamie bugle of madison wisconsin second day in a row that we've got somebody in madison andrew oh

that's right and bugle it's my favorite snack chip and my favorite way of supporting tbtl yep

absolutely i wonder if jamie and christopher know each other a couple of madison wisconsin folks also jessica haley is in mattapan massachusetts that's fun to say man it sure is mattapan mass Yes, definitely Thanks, Jessica Thanks also to Stephanie Hirsch in Plano, Texas Oh boy We're going to have to go back to the Plano, Texas Tourism page Tell you about some other escape rooms in Plano

Oh, that's right It was ringing a vague bell You said it was heavy on the escape room A lot of escape rooms

Some kind of a food hall that has a giant sign That says Eat, Slay, Love Remember that part?

I do remember that I was also formula, I'm sorry about the blankness there, the dead air that I offered. I was going to make a joke at the expense of another locale, one that is from, that I hail from, but I was like, you know what, I don't need to dunk on, I don't need to dunk on anybody.

That's right, you know, that's a good thing for us to remember because anytime we make a joke that is at the expense of a city or anything like that, it, you know, probably bums the people out who are there. So I'm glad that your brain was doing that math I only believe in making fun of the New England Patriots Who have no fans And so there's no chance of hurting anyone's feelings Thank you Stephanie Thanks also to Daniel Poss In Snohomish, Washington Thank you Daniel Thanks Daniel You're my Snohomie This is the part of the show where we ask If we have the rights to that I don't think Ron and Don have they integrated the term Snohomie Into their real estate business

I don't think so I'm not sure how big of a net they've cast as far as their realty footprint.

And how vigorously they prosecute the protection of their IP. Yes, that as well. Okay, good. Well, Daniel, we're going to call you a snow homie then. Thank you, baby. Also, thanks to Morella Alejandrino in Kenmore, Washington. Thank you, Morella. Morella, appreciate you.

Kenmore Lanes, for a day or for a lifetime.

Gosh, man. I miss that place. That was Kenmore Lanes. And it made it through the pandemic It's still around I think right

You just mean you miss it because you don't live here anymore You don't go there

I miss that part of I guess you would say North Seattle or Kenmore Because I used to as I've mentioned many times We went to church up there So I spent a lot of time up in that area of Kenmore They had a Pietro's Pizza that I loved to go to They had Kenmore Lanes Which I would try to talk my parents Into maybe dropping me and Jesse Stevenson Off at Kenmore Lanes so we could, you know, do pop a shot or whatever. It's a place in the Northwest I remember fondly.

Luke, safe, sanitized, ready to roll. Bowling is back, according to Kenmore50lanes.com. Love it.
