Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such nature films as Earwigs, Eww, The Revenge of Abe Lincoln, The Erotic Adventures of Hercules, The Wackiest Covered Wagon in the West, Alice's Adventures Through the Windshield Glass, They Came to Burgle, Carnegie Hall, Two Minus Three Equals Negative Fun, Man Versus Nature, The Road to Victory, Designated Drivers, The Life-Saving Nerds, The Decapitation of Larry Ledfoot, Dial M for Murderousness, Alice Doesn't Live Anymore The Boat Jacking of Super Ship 79 Smoke Yourself Thin Firecrackers, The Silent Killer P is for Psycho Lead Paint, Delicious But Deadly Calling All Quakers Son of Sanford and Son And here comes the metric system TBTL

Do I wish our fans were a little more hip? Yes. Do I wish they were a tad more on top of their hygiene? Absolutely. Do they have a confused look in their eyes like a dog that's heard a strange sound? Yeah.

That's a no from me, dog. We're going to kick you in the teeth, all right? And when you punch us back, we're going to smile at you. And when you knock us down, we're going to get up. And on the way up, we're going to bite a kneecap off, all right? And we're going to stand up. And then it's going to take two more shots to knock us down, all right? And on the way up, we're going to take your other kneecap. And we're going to get up. And then it's going to take three shots to get us down. I know you think you can think your way out of this with your thinkiness. But don't think too much

You know, I just came here to hit dingers and have a good time

Well, alright, hello, good morning, and welcome everyone to a special holiday edition of TBTL The show that just might be too beautiful to live My name is Luke Burbank I am your host, coming to you from the Hollywood Broadcast Center right here in Portland, Oregon Looking out on a mixed weather bag once again It's sort of some blue sky, but also some dark clouds. I was out of town for a good part of this weekend celebrating Father's Day up in Seattle. More on that coming up. But I saw some video on the Internet of what was going on here in Portland. It was when the plane landed last night. I got in super late. Actually, it was early this morning. And I thought, do my tired eyes deceive me? Am I looking at snow on the runway of Portland International Airport? It was apparently hail. It hailed in a biblical fashion in Portland yesterday. And, you know, because everything is going pretty well with the climate. Hope things are going pretty well for you on this June 19th, also known as Juneteenth, the day when we celebrate or at least acknowledge the end of formalized enslavement of people in this country. We're going to do kind of what we do on most holidays here, which is we'll bring you a kind of shorter version of the show, which usually ends up being a longer version of the show. But that's our intention. I do want to talk about my weekend and also, you know, I think it was, it might have been Friday's episode. It feels like a lifetime ago. It might have been Friday's episode where we talked about the movie My Dinner with Andre, which was like 40-something years old. And I made the joke that we like to bring you only the most relevant film reviews on this program Well, I've outdone myself, people Today I'd like to review a film that I saw on Sunday That is, in fact, 50 years old My review of the film, Paper Moon Starring Ryan O'Neill and his actual real-life daughter, Tatum O'Neill So we'll talk about that And whatever else comes into our little heads on this Monday With the help of this guy, the longest-running Cobra of the show Maybe best known for his depictions of the tall ships, their grace, their splendor, and all that intricate rigging. He is Andrew Walsh, and he's joining me right now. Good morning, my friend.

I regret the Dan Campbell tape in that intro. It was a little rough for a holiday. The Dan Campbell, the kneecaps, the knock us down.

I regret it because all I could think was, I cannot wait for NFL football. Is that getting you in the mood? Dude, it like for some reason when I heard that it just it it transported me to a whole version of my life where so much of it is thinking about the football game that's going to happen and then reflecting on the game that did happen. And then if it went well, watching SportsCenter that night and stuff like that Dan Campbell tape just getting kind of meme-ified and passed around. It's just a whole, you know, it's just a whole thing for me to think about that isn't my actual feelings for a good six, seven months of the year. Sure. And it really put me there. If you heard, as I was introducing you, I started chuckling a little bit.

Just because you like me, I thought.

A lot of it is just because of my affection for you as a person. It was really nice to get to see you on Saturday. Yeah, it was. At the Eagles playing the bingo.

I mean, it was good to see you, too. Not, yes, it was good to see me for you.

No, I mean, you know.

You know when it's good for you.

people to see you and saturday was one of those nights i have charms but um i'm i was laughing because i was thinking about something you said to me right before we started recording today which was so you i saw you and a bunch of our friends on saturday night at the eagles the bingo was played fun was had drinks were drunken and then um sunday night it sounds like you had dinner with a couple of our soon-to-be former colleagues and one of our soon-to-be former direct supervisors Beth Pearlman and what did you say the last words Beth left you with like at the end of Lost in Translation were you standing on a busy street in Seattle and Beth Pearlman leaned over and whispered something into your ear as the camera pulled back no we were actually walking

in separate directions after dinner walking across a parking lot Beth and Annie walking towards their car me and Genevieve walking towards our car and Beth yelled over her shoulder echoing off the buildings in Seattle's University Village. Tell Luke to fill out his time card. Card, card, card.

You know, she must have meant that as a joke because if there's one thing I do on the regular, Andrew, it's fill out my time card because I want to get paid.

She was being serious in this case because she was saying, listen, you guys. I've submitted it. For your final one? Yeah. Did you do that this morning? Because I think we only are a few hours into this pay cycle or this time cycle.

Oh, I see. Well, then, in other words, this – let me just explain. I really thought this was going to be – I thought it was going to be maybe something even more of a burn on me. It's just weird that this is the only thing – I know I sound defensive, but I'm just confused because I have 8 million things that I should do for that company even now and things I haven't – courses I haven't taken and stuff like that. But I feel like the only thing that I'm pretty up on is my time card submission because I just have a system for it and I really want to get paid. so is it that are we because we get paid we get paid this week so and then we have one do we have

one do we get how many more paychecks do we get from apm two more i think that is it she wasn't saying it she literally was not saying it as a joke as in ha let's burn luke but i really submitted it last week now i gotta go but now there's no no there's gonna be another she means this next cycle here i can explain it it's very easily uh there's just one there's just one more cycle in which we need to submit our time card and she is just very concerned that we do it on time not because of our track record but because she said right the second we wake up on monday and the clocks have changed and we're no longer employees we will not be able to get into the systems she says we will be out of the apm system immediately um which i was i was kind of wondering about that like are they going to slam the door quickly or will we have some you know tail end access to things might i want to go into belka and poke around a little bit see what's going on in the guts of cody um apparently i hope that's a computer reference you know i regret several i regret the dan campbell tape i regret the way i just said that but yeah no she just was really looking out and just being like listen you guys just don't be late on this one because if so

we won't get paid because we get paid this friday this coming friday we get paid i have submitted for that one what you what she was saying was make sure that the next so like the monday the 26th we have we've put in the time sheet because once we're locked out we're locked out so it wasn't that she's still waiting on something for me currently she was just saying yes the the one like basically our last our last gasp it's got to be handled it's got it's the first line of the film it's got to be on the money yes because okay that makes that makes so much more sense And I will be very careful about that. And I was also doing, you know, I'm like, you know, do we get paid for sick days we didn't take? I mean, are we going to be able to walk out of there with a decent amount of cash in our pockets? What's going on with all that?

Vacation. She did say that you and I need to make sure that we get paid out for our vacation because you and I do not traditionally take a lot of vacation. So I said, well, is that in the works? She said, well, you should just definitely just reach out to HR to make sure that's in the works. So there you go on that. And then she did say, if you have any days you want to take off, you probably have a bunch of holidays banked as well. Like, here we are working on a holiday again. She said, if you have any days you want to take off, take them off and then mark them as a holiday. And I'm like, but we don't really take holidays either. We have to be here for the people, Luke.

Yes.

We've got to give the people what they want.

We've got to give the people what they need, which is Dan Campbell tape on Juneteenth.

It just seems like with two weeks left here at 8 p.m. before we make the big transition, I don't see us going dark, the podcast, like just taking a day off at this point.

So in other words, we don't. So like there's the vacation time we get. They pay us for that. But then the holidays that we've banked, that's probably just lost to the sands of time. Yes, most likely, unless you just want to take the next couple of weeks off, in which case. You know what? I'd say let's take the next month off. Let's reconvene, like, maybe, I don't know, a day or two before the TBTL 4,000th episode. You know, Luke, this really—

build the really build the anticipation did you hear the death rattle in my voice my goodness this is rough i overslept today i told you before the show this actually this is luke i think i might have just stumbled on good content holy shit this has never happened to me before dear penthouse

forum lynn please i know you don't formally uh you know capture the audio anymore but andrew's saying i just stumbled upon good content that might come in handy i i can hear the sleep in

my voice too i hate this so much i i do not like stumbling out of bed waking up late and doing the show but one thing that was all on my mind yesterday was i need to send it a very important email to some folks um but one person in particular i would copy other folks on it about our transfer of the rss feed i know hold on i know this doesn't sound like good content but trust me Yeah, because I thought I heard you say good content, and now I'm confused. Everybody calmed down. No, but a very, very important process of our uncoupling with American public media and going independent is making sure that the dear listeners do not get any kind of interruption in their podcast feed. Let me put it that way. My apologies for bringing up the words real simple syndication or whatever RSS stands for. Let's just say you listen to us on this podcast feed. This podcast feed is technically going to be moving, but obviously we don't want the listeners to have to do anything to continue to get this sweet, sweet TBTL content. So there is a process involved. And I have an email going with one person who works at a new company that we're partnering with to bring you this podcast and several engineers over at American Public Media. And everything's been going really well. the folks at APM have been amazing in like kind of getting us everything we need to make this transition as smooth as possible. I'm not just saying that it's been really impressive and I'm very grateful. The person at the new company, not who we work for, but just some new, again, we're partnering with has also been really great, but has kind of gone quiet, sent me an email, maybe a week ago, asking a couple of follow-up questions. I responded with a couple of answers and a couple of questions myself have not heard back since the folks at APM have sent a couple of more emails with information that he was requesting and it's just been dark and I'm thinking all this weekend like Monday today is the day that I really hit the ground running on some of these things like we've had a lot of plates spinning as we prepare for this transition and for the live show and for the TV telethon, but it's, we're two weeks out now. And I've just had this, this kind of sense in my head all weekend, like Monday, first of all, I was going to wake up early. But I just like rubber hits the road time, like no more dinking around. Like we got to get going on this stuff. And so I've been composing this email in my head just to say, Hey, are we all set? Looks like you got all your answers. Like, can we start, like, can we start this transition today meaning this this you know podcast transition and then i realized yesterday oh wait no of course monday is a holiday it's june 10th but this is a new federal holiday for a lot of us right this is our maybe our third 2021 was when it became okay so second yeah and so um i started thinking to myself is it first of all is it proper right is it disrespectful

number one to the holiday and is it disrespectful to the people on that chain if i come in hot on a monday and say okay we're ready to go like start start ingesting i've been avoiding that word luke but that's what they got to do they got to start ingesting and then i'm like wait i really need this to happen but maybe i need to wait until tuesday to send that email yeah i actually had

this is um this is a true story i've got some similar stuff not tbtl related but just other things that i've been kind of thinking i have you know i need to uh really make sure to uh you know dot some i's and cross some t's on some stuff and one of the things happens to be a conversation i'm involved in related to live wire where we're putting together some um dei training and practices and i have a meeting scheduled with the person who's handling that and i i really had the thought this weekend okay i gotta i gotta email byron on monday and then i thought juneteenth maybe not the day to blow up someone's inbox on the subject of our dei where are we on the DEI plan we're in the DEI thing how about I don't know the federal holiday that is related to as incredibly uh awful time in our nation's history so I had the same thought except in an even sort of more I guess you could say germane sort of on a more germane topic where I was like yeah I'm gonna we'll get on that on Tuesday we'll let everyone uh have this Monday to to you know to spend the time as they see fit and then Tuesday we're gonna Tuesday Andrew things get serious look out rob you're gonna get just turned into connor o'malley from i think you should leave there for some wow he yells he sure does yell at Lottie went and saw him live in Seattle, and I was like, how was the show? She goes, Lottie yelling. Yeah, yeah. Lottie yelling.

He reminds me, he seems like a doppelganger of another, like an SNL. He's never been on SNL, right? Not that I know of. Doesn't he seem like an Andy Samberg, like Andy Samberg mixed with somebody, sort of? Like Andy Samberg's more shouty brother?

Yes, I could see that. He also is, as I mentioned before, he is married to A.D. Bryant, who's a National Treasure and SNL cast member. And I wonder, have there ever been two performers on SNL who are married to each other? That's a really good question. I mean, I think there was some dating. Didn't, like, Bill Murray and Gilda Radner date? I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of dating within the show. You're like, you know, you're stuck in a building with a bunch of people practically 24 hours a day for half of the year. there's going to be some romancing the stone excellent kathleen turner movie by the way i'm giving a review of that movie on tuesday can you do that tomorrow please um today is my day to review a movie that's literally half a century old um but um but as far as people who are like you know married to each other uh and then like performing in sketches together i wonder if that's

ever happened yeah i can't i can't think of one off the top of my head but i also feel like i'd be the wrong person i'm not i don't know if you know this about me i'm not like the best pop culture expert out there like genevieve was playing a song for me by sia yesterday that apparently was an international hit was it years ago yeah i think it was i i'd never heard the song before she's like you know this song i'm like no i like it but i do not i've never heard

this song how old is that song about they wanted to swing from the chandelier chandelier how old do you think that is that's not exactly how well i mean the thing is andrew i would tell you that that song is probably two years old but it's probably from 2015 and 2014 i seriously thought

that this was a song that i missed from like two summers ago or something no i don't know that song

where was I in 2014 I was in LA I guess which is I'm you know and ironically I think Sia lives like in Silver Lake or something or used to um uh because I think there'd be sightings of Sia in Silver Lake that's a lot of S's dude I know but um uh yeah Sia's a really interesting character to me I believe she's Australian and she is a brilliant songwriter and really brilliant performer but i get the feeling for a while she was making her living through writing incredibly big hit songs for other artists and and then for a long time i think was sort of uncomfortable with performing and so had this look where she would have these incredibly long bangs like her hair was combed over her face so for a long time nobody really knew what she looked like because when she would be out performing she was kind of like you know um who's that uh i'm asking the guy who says he's bad at pop culture a much more deeper uh pop culture cut the uh country uh western singer who's on like oh i do know who you're talking about who always wears the look kind of veil over his face i can't oh gosh people are throwing the cool people are throwing their phones everywhere in fact he was performing at thing festival when we were there and i didn't know anything about this guy orville peck orville peck thank you i didn't know any i didn't know who an orville peck was and i'm wandering around in the kind of artist's area like trying to get my head right for our show which was being delayed by some kind of um mes mesmerizer and uh i just look over and there's just this like elegantly dressed cowboy with like this incredible like mask slash veil over his face and i was like am i in a david lynch film right now like i don't know what this person is doing

in this context but yeah Orville Peck has more of a um that look makes me more uncomfortable and I don't know if it's supposed to or not and that might just be me I I talked a lot during COVID about how like it took me a long time just to get used to seeing people in public wearing just like masks for their health like I have a weird thing about like masks and Halloween and whatnot and the Orville Peck look always makes me a bit uncomfortable Sia though was so arty like she would you know if it wasn't the bang she would hide behind some other like just elaborate um you know fashion based uh you know whatever elaborate outfit or deal deal is the word i'm looking for there which i always really liked and again like sia isn't that's the thing like sia isn't somebody who i don't know exists like i kind of know the broad outlines of sia and everything that you just said yet that song chandelier the reason it came up was i was listening to the show and they're playing some really old tape of of callers calling in and and singing some songs about a I believe a basketball player and I thought one of the songs was funny the other one I didn't get the joke of and Genevieve's like well you know this song don't you and I'm like no I don't and oh it's um Doliak who is the basketball related person whose last name is James James Doliak

wait no no sorry I was confused I was thinking James Dolan who's the owner of the Knicks but

there's a Doliak too and I don't I think that's an owner right is Doliak an owner I'm trying to things i wanted michael doliak so i think it might be michael doliak so um a bunch of uh a bunch of callers were um calling into the levitard show i guess this is a while ago for some reason singing about michael doliak and his i don't know prowess or mistakes on the court i'm not sure but the one that really made me laugh was somebody called in and saying my neck my back my michael

doliak and that's what i had to play for genevieve i'm looking up i guess he just played for the he was a player i don't know he's not an owner um but uh just to for the doliac heads out there

that's a solid joke it's a great joke but then there was another chandelier one i'm like i don't know this visa's like you know you just need to hear the real song she plays a real song for me i'm like no i like this but i have not heard it but again was thinking it was from a few years

ago not 20 friggin 14 by the way michael doliac uh is from right here in portland oregon nice yeah just for congrats for for our um what would the doliac fans be called like dolomaniacs i was gonna say it has to have something to do with maniacs yeah right doliac maniacs can you have like can does it does it need to be like a portmanteau like swifties or like does it need that's not really a portmanteau but does it need to be one word or can it be like two words because doliac doliac's maniacs works pretty well but it's a lot of it's a lot fit that on a t-shirt I like it so much. Yeah. I feel like that's what, yeah, we would go with that. It's the strongest idea we have at 10.59 a.m. here on Juneteenth.

Can we wait until I was up for at least one hour? Can we wait until 11.10 or 11.11 for me to start trying to riff on Doliak jokes?

Well, Andrew, I'll tell you what. After this break, I'm going to put you right back to sleep because I'm going to review the film Paper Moon from 1973. So stay with us here on TBTL.

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

Hey, look at this. We've still got a dazzling donor or two to thank for their dazzling amount of dough. These folks are the wonderful, generous supporters that are keeping TBTL rolling. And again, I cannot overstate this, even though I'm trying, even though I'm pushing right up to the edge of what overstatement might look like. We sure do hope that everybody will be able to continue supporting the program when we do our TBTL-a-thon starting July 3rd from my parents' actual basement. Because, you know, we're going to find out along with everyone else if this is a viable business model as we depart from APM. And then who's going to yell at me about filing my timesheets? You?

I think so. So, yeah, I might have to hire somebody just to yell at you about timesheets and to, of course, implement our cybersecurity training program.

I'm sure there's some kind of there's a company that does that now, like my part time controller or something. Do you hear those ads on NPR? No, everything's brought to you by my part time controller, which I think is like some aspect. You think I wish I knew what that was, considering we're going into business together. But there are some of those things now, like an HR person or controller or other jobs that are really important. but the idea is you could hire a service that does that without having to actually create a staff position for it.

I'm online now, and I'm looking at, not to brag, and I'm seeing that there is an opening here for my part-time business daddy, if we wanted to. Like the website? Yeah, my part-time business daddy is like somebody who comes in and they just yell at you about things business-related. Have you filled out your timesheets yet? Perfect.

I respond better to a part-time business mommy. Uh-huh. No, I can see that. It's why I get along well with Beth At least I feel I do I don't know what she said to you at dinner And why all my therapists have also Been women Here and there I've had a male therapist but it's never really worked I think I have so much weird energy Around a guy Telling me what to do

That it just like

That's not healthy by the way But I think I take Criticism and feedback much better From women than from men Because of some kind of you know stuff that's buried so deep years of therapy maybe i should get a male therapist maybe these women therapists don't know what they're talking about okay great okay we'd like to thank superior wisconsin uh ian hey it's our friend ian superior wisconsin we met ian at the um we met ian when we did the me. beat up at uh at in in saint paul right yeah at that brewing great american brewing or something

yep yep rural brewery i think that's the rural brewery yes yeah and ian if i remember right is ian a um a postal service worker i think so and also i was talking to ian and and uh and somebody else there a lot about like pokemon pokemon and i left the conversation was it pokemon or magic i think it was pokemon and i left the conversation i could be wrong it was some one of those games where i i don't think it was magic though because what i remember thinking was damn i might be a pokemon guy now because it's just it's not any different than my stupid late night card games i get tied up in you know what i mean except just there's different pictures on the cards but it's very competitive people bet on it i was like okay i'm with this again i could be don't quote me on that ian don't quote me on that maybe it's not pokemon maybe it was magic but um it's magical andrew that ian has been supporting the show for all these years and we do really appreciate it ian says hey thanks for curing global loneliness there's a tens meetup august 6th at 1 p.m at ursa minor brewing in duluth minnesota baby who loves you baby who loves you baby i have been talking about Duluth so much lately because when I was interviewing uh this wasn't like on camera but off air I was talking to this woman um who is a expert on trees and and climate change and things like that and I was saying yeah I guess we're all moving to Duluth because Duluth is uh at least in one by one sort of study was found to be like the place that is pretty climate resistance you know it's like access to fresh water it's like the temperatures it's like These are the kind of places, and I say this sadly, that will probably be better places to live as the climate continues to change. And Duluth just seems so random to me. But now I've got Duluth on the brain. I think about Duluth a lot, actually.

And you said you had hail in Portland. Did you know that we're supposed to get frogs tonight here in Seattle?

I've had boils for weeks. I thought that was just because I ate too much chocolate. Global weirding. August 6th in Duluth, Minnesota, 1 p.m. at Ursa Minor Brewing, Ian is calling a conclave of TBTL 10s in the greater Duluth area to come together and enjoy each other's company. Those, I assume, will be mostly folks that are still buzzing off the high of the TBTL 4000th episode, which they all, including Ian, will have attended in Seattle, Washington on Saturday, the 29th of July. So this will be just the following weekend. So think about that. Just back to back TBTL merriment. Yes.

Yes. I can't keep my can you keep your weeks? I mean, I guess you always have a very packed schedule. So I'm having a lot of trouble, like kind of remembering not only do we have a lot of TBTL stuff coming up, but I also have like people coming in from out of town. Genevieve is throwing a big party. There are several like kind of big things, a lot of big things, both work and personal that are all like kind of happening around the same period of like three weeks. And people keep asking me, like, oh, are you going to be here this weekend or whatever? I cannot keep it straight. I do not know what time means anymore. I just got to, like, kind of just keep on looking at my calendar every two minutes.

Well, I know we're obsessed with this and we're only going to become more obsessed. But I just can't believe that, like, the Thon is two weeks away. Like, that's just because, you know, when we made this decision to go independent and as we started piecing it, it just seemed like it was months, if not years in the future. And now it's just like time is collapsing and compressing. And so it's like – and then it's like, okay, can we get through the thon? Can we actually like – can we raise enough money to keep this thing going? I mean I guess it gets us out of a couple of jams. If we raise no money during the thon, then we don't have to do the 4,000th episode. So that's – I guess we call that a win.

The people who bought tickets might have something to say about that.

You know what? Those tickets are absolutely – you will get credit. You could use those for future Neptune shows, including Ani DeFranco and Teller from Penn & Teller. Not Penn & Teller, but Teller from Penn & Teller. Penn or Teller, you can choose. Penn or Teller. You could use these for either a Penn or a Teller, not a Penn & Teller. No, it is, but I will say, usually the summertime is typically a time that I really look forward to. Well, A, because I just love the summer, I like the weather, but also because things slow down. We do the summer games. There's usually just like the pace of my personal life and my work life. It kind of slows down. And I really like that. This is not that summer for us. And that's OK, because this is what happens in life, right, is you go through changes, as Ozzy Osbourne once famously wrote in the hit Charles Bradley Jr. song, Mama, I'm Coming Home. But I like this is going to be a really intense summer for us. We got this. We're going independent. We have all the financial legal ramifications of that. We're doing the TBTL-a-thon independent We're doing a 4,000th episode By the way, I'd say around 100 tickets left for that uh 100 seats anyway there's some standing room but like really who wants to stand for three hours of us talking about whatever we're talking about that night so go to tbtl.net and get your tickets again there's probably around 100 left um and that's july 29th that july 29th people think of it as one week before the meetup in duluth that's how people talk about it yeah counting backwards just go you have august 6th and duluth circle done just go back I think it's six, seven days, whatever that is, July 29th. So it's going to be a really intense summer for us, but I think it's going to be good. I'm really hoping that things will work out, that we'll have a great 4,000th episode, that we'll be able to really super serve our P1s, as we like to say on the show. In other words, really make the show even more kind of connected to our listeners and an audio product that's even more pleasant, i.e. not hearing five million commercials. I saw Addie yesterday, and she goes, do you get a free Lexus since you do all those ads for Lexus? And I was like, well, this is news to me that you've ever listened to the show. Oh, yeah. And B, no. The answer is no. We do not get a free Lexus. So I guess my point is if we can get through this summer, Andrew, if we can get through all this stuff that is very daunting and come out on the other side, a stronger more kind of listener focused show uh it'll be totally worth it it'll be awesome but um but it's going to be a lot of work this summer it is definitely and i look forward to you doing it that's absolutely untrue in fact for whatever stress i'm feeling it's like it's got nothing on all the tech stuff you're doing so well i actually have a favorite ask while you

brought it up could you i'd love to could you write to this guy about our rss feed yes by the

When you started to say letters for RSS, that was the first that ever occurred to me that those RSS might stand for something.

Isn't it really simple syndication? Or was that just a simplified weird? I mean, I believe you.

I literally never took one second to think of what does RSS stand for.

It says really simple syndication. The first hit on Google says that, although I think there might be two different versions of that. But that's the one that I remember. No, everybody says, yeah. Okay, good. Look at me being right over here.

Hey, it's an Andrew W. Monday.

Four more minutes and I've been up for an hour.

Thank you, Ian. We really appreciate you. Hello and welcome to Top Story. Just a quick little update on my whirlwind 24 hours in Seattle. Well, actually, it started Friday night. We went to see Death Cab for Cutie at the at Edgefield at McMinimins in Portland, which they've got they've got what is it called the Anderson School up there in Seattle or something, Andrew, where, you know, for folks that aren't familiar, McMinimins is this very, very actually kind of big operation, mostly here in Oregon, where these two brothers and McMinimins brothers started buying up older buildings like an old elementary school or just little kind of funky interesting buildings that oftentimes had a previous life as something else and then converting them into bars and restaurants and performance spaces and the one that they have out here in troutdale oregon is called edgefield and it used to be we were i was reading up on the history of this place it's pretty crazy like it was built as a poor farm so if you were somebody who was indigent in like the turn of the century the 1900s or something they would potentially have you go out and live on this farm where they like had you know livestock and crops and there was a few hundred people living out there and then working and then getting to have their you know food and uh and lodging covered by working on the farm the problem with that system is it completely misunderstood why people might be indigent it wasn't just lack of gumption yeah you know so that didn't really work out and then it became uh then it sort of became very dilapidated over time and was going to be torn down but these folks argued you know that it was historically significant so they forestalled that until the mcminimum brothers swooped in bought the whole thing up and basically brought it back to where it was structurally sound so it's got all these restaurants and bars and you can even stay there and we stayed there on friday night and let me just tell you that's the last time i stay at one of those mcminimum places it i mean it was it was convenient to be able to stay there but it you're staying in a room that was built originally to house a person who society saw as indigent so they weren't like they weren't trying to make it overly nice and while it's now structurally sound it wasn't overly nice for three hundred and fifty dollars whoa yeah that i'm trying you know i always do i always take

the conversation here and it drives me bananas that i can't figure out which one it is but my A first experience.

with a McMinimins was visiting our friends who had we thought moved recently to uh Portland but actually as we got closer we realized oh they lived in Beaverton which is on the outskirts of Portland and I know that we stayed in a McMinimins which was like kind of like a I remember like kind of being like what we don't even have our own bathroom it ended up we didn't have our own bathroom either yeah we it was like an old school I feel like this was an old schoolhouse or something where we had a a tidy little room but then we had to go like you know and I was just like are you kidding me you're telling me i gotta grab a towel like we're paying to stay someplace where i gotta shuffle down the hallway in public to go to shower in hindsight it was kind of a it's kind of a fond memory but i but you know me like i don't know if i'm more rigid or less rigid than i was at this time but i was like if i'm staying in a hotel it better start with holiday and end with in and it better just have like a muffin in the morning smell of bleak exactly

Yeah, just like crisp, the crispest of the crisp sheets. Yeah, yeah. This is not that this is down home. This is like as I was lying, as as Beck and I were looking around the Dad Watson room, which is the room that we were what it was named for. I was like, this is exactly like if you ask my mom to decorate a hotel room. Like, I mean, the thing about McMinimans and again, you know, I think that they're there. It's a cool idea. And I like that they exist. And I there's so many of them in Portland. You know, you're always you're almost always finding yourself in one, you know, having a beer, catching up with friends. So, like, I'm very pro this whole thing and I'm very pro Edgefield. But, yeah, the same thing. The room didn't have its own bathroom, which I've actually stayed in a hotel or a place you can stay. I don't know if you call the Captain Whidbey Inn over there in not Oak Harbor, sort of in between Oak Harbor and this other town in Washington. that one was uh you know had been this fishing lodge this fishing camp so it was this big old kind of ramshackle building and a lot of the rooms didn't have their own bathroom what they had was you would open the door of your room and you would walk across a very small hallway and you'd be in this you know the guy's bathroom which had all these locking doors and stuff it was actually much more private than i expected and it was i hated it less than i thought i was going to hate the problem with this mcminimins was you're just roaming the halls in your bathrobe yeah trying to find like first of all i'm a man of a certain age you think i'm going to sleep through the night without needing to pee after watching death cab for cutie and having probably like six beers like you think i'm not going to be up at midnight 3 a.m 6 a.m i get up at like so i'm getting up in the middle of the night luckily at 3 a.m there's no one else out there so i'm in my bathroom i still feel kind of embarrassed like it's like shorts no shirt bathrobe and hair uh you know i look like doc brown or something from you know back to the future but in the middle of the night there's no one around so it's sort of okay but then i get up at like 7 30 i can't hold it anymore and i walk and the men's bathroom is being cleaned oh they're like and i'm like what's that at what time 7 30 a.m that's the price that's the peak time i mean honestly like whoever is scheduling that thing ask your bladder is that a good idea so then it's like showering aren't people getting ready for the day at 7 30 don't ever anything you wanted to do and granted it was probably for a half hour if that it was probably for 15 minutes but it was the 15 minutes when i needed to get in there so it was like there's another bathroom at the other end of the hotel and i'm like great well now and now life has you know life is now bustling in this hotel people people are walking people are drinking coffee there are restaurants that are open people are like it's 7 30 that's not very like that's not that early for a lot of people there's kids running around it's like everyone else in this hotel environment is now and again it's not just a hotel it's like people go look at all these cool gardens it's like it's a hub of

activity and i am just like wandering through in my bathrobe trying to get to the opposite end of the building so i can pee and i was like this is not ideal for me um but the show was really fun it was a fun night that was friday then saturday afternoon i flew to seattle saw you all at the eagles played bingo watched you win i did win yes that was a that was a bananas night i gotta say

i mean i know that i don't know how late you were there i definitely i had not been to the eagles for a bingo night french i think i french exited yeah i saw you making eyes at kevin like come on let's go let's go and kevin was already a little glassy i'd like no no i think i french exited kevin i think i french exited everybody really i saw i watched you kind of like kind of trying to nudge him i mean you didn't say hey everybody i'm going to the casino but i've seen you in action enough to know you're like come on come on he's like can't do it bro can't do it bro and then you and then i want i mean i know you you did just sort of french exit but i watched i saw the whole thing go down but then but i was also at a point where like boy i i can't remember being that in rough shape.

the the next saturday saturday or no wait that that was saturday so sunday yesterday i was in a really really rough shape that was we went hard at the eagles we did and then i got up sunday

morning and i knew the only cure this sounds like some humble brag the only cure for what was going on with me sunday morning because i was there to spend a long day with my daughter doing father's things the only cure was to run around lake union uh so i got up definitely a rolling 08 and was like put on your running shoes get out there just ambulate and i did and it was it was i'm so glad that i did because it was the it totally fixed me up and i was actually great on sunday once i had done that loop and had sweated out all the poison and also by the way stopped at a porta potty at gasworks park to use the facilities and we ain't talking number one andrew oof yeah that tells you what was going on uh talking about getting up in cody's guts boy oh how long how long of a run is that by the way that's like six and a half or something um but it was uh it was i boy thank goodness because that kind of got me right so then by the time addy and i met up um i was i was ship shape again and we went um we went and got brunch at this really fun place called westward that's on lake union we then walked around the lake again and up to capitol hill where she lives and i was just like we're going like up the interlocken i don't know if you know what that is yeah yeah and

so you kind of went up kind of east lake but then you kind of cut down by the water yeah and you

kind of go up the backside of capitol hill or whatever yeah i mean it's a beautiful walk but i kept stressing a i'm old she's like okay we'll go over here and we're going up these stairs just like endless flights of stairs and i'm like it is all uphill i'm like just know that your old man already ran around lake union this morning but um so we had a really fun day uh we had sort of a we're trying to figure out what to do in the middle of the day because we had a brunch reservation and we had a dinner reservation and so it was kind of rainy in seattle yesterday and so we were trying to i was like is the is asteroid city playing you know that's the new wes anderson film but it's i guess it doesn't really go into wide release until i don't know a few days from now or something so we were looking it's all like transformers rise of the i don't know rise of the

soda stream or something i was kind of surprised i was i'm i mean listen i know it's not exactly what you were maybe in the mood for but you were the one who told me that the first spider-man animated movie into the spider-verse was good so last weekend veves and i went to see the sequel to it as well because we'd seen the first one as well um and it was really good i've been meaning to ask you if you had any intentions or if the first one was good enough for you you know what

um if if i would if a theater near us had been playing that at a time that was convenient i would have suggested it because i loved the first one a ton and i am totally planning on seeing the second one but i guess you know addy and i are both when we get together very twee and so that was why like asteroid city seemed perfect like let's go see a wes anderson film um so that was kind of what i had in the brain then that wasn't really showing and then we were like well i guess we could take a nap and then i was like no here's what we should do and she just goes we're doing this this starts in 15 minutes there is a theater down in seattle i guess you'd call it columbia city area called the beacon cinema andrew i love this is my new favorite thing in seattle it's this little storefront where they've got this movie theater that they've built i mean you know it's you it does not look like the kind of place that would have a and it's a smaller screen but doesn't look like the kind of place that would have a little movie theater in it it's not a big giant building but it's just this little cool movie theater that shows you know art house films and things you know from bygone eras and they had decided on father's day to play the movie paper moon which believe it or not i had never seen have you seen that film no i jeez i don't even

think i know anything you could have told me that it was from the 40s and i would have believed you

well you're actually you would think if you watched it it was from the 40s because the movie was made in 1973 it's directed by peter bogdanovich who made like the last picture show and a lot of other um you know very well regarded movies i believe peter bogdanovich also plays some i think he plays melfi's therapist in the sopranos you know how melfi starts going to a therapist yeah and her therapist is played by peter bogdanovich i didn't know that i didn't i wouldn't have made that connection but he's mostly i mean he he acts in things but he's mostly uh or was mostly uh you know considered to be this masterful director anyway point being it's set in the 1930s it's set in the depression era so if you just it's black and white and if you were to watch it you might think it's an old-timey movie believe it or not I've never seen this movie Paper Moon and it's based on a book and it's

about a kind of a a grifter con man who gets reunited with his sort of estranged possible daughter who's like eight years old and they said this is depression era kansas and they set off basically running scams around around kansas now i love peter bogdanovich's work um i was not super familiar with ryan o'neill other than knowing he was a kind of famous actor tatum o'neill i think might have been uh might have been nominated for an oscar for this performance i think it might have been maybe the youngest oscar nomination at this point because she was apparently eight years old she's ryan o'neill's actual daughter and someone i think peter bogdanovich said could she play the kid she had never tried acting she wasn't into acting and she turns in an amazing performance as does ryan o'neill as does bernadette uh peters um who uh i think that's who it is right yeah no no sorry madeline khan i always mix up madeline khan and bernadette peters for some reason anyway here's the thing andrew we're sitting the movie is about to start rolling it's really cute most of the people in the theater appeared to be dads and their adult kids the guy comes out and gives a little spiel before the movie where he explains like this is why we picked this movie and this is a little bit of backstory on the film and you know so that was just like really fun and then the movie starts playing and it's so adorable um tatum o'neill is amazing in it ryan o'neill is amazing and it's father daughter i'm there with my daughter and this is the point that i realized the main character tatum o'neill's character is named

addy i was about to say i was looking at wikipedia i was like yeah does addy just take you to movies where people are named addy is this like i mean that is a level of self-obsession that even i can't deal with on father's day on father's day it's father's day

by the way i kept yelling that at her yesterday on father's day and i was like i get like seven of those today i'm allowed to do that no she had never seen the film i had never seen the film she's grown up named adelaide you when you write it out shortened it's a d d i e this has been her name for her whole life she had no idea that this character in the movie is named addie a d d i e and is again i just i don't want to i don't want to overstate it or make it so that it's kind of like a letdown when people watch the movie but like Andrew you have to see this movie it's so fucking good and Tatum O'Neill is so amazing in it as this little eight-year-old kid named Addie Addie leans over to me midway through the film and goes from now on if anyone asks you guys named me for this kid it was just like I mean and then and then I was like I already know that I'm going to have trouble keeping it together at the end of this movie. Like, I mean, it's a comedy, really, but it's still like it's a father-daughter story. The acting is really good. And I'm like, I know there's going to be a go on get at the end of this movie. I know there's going to be something like, you know, The Champ. We talk about The Champ a lot on this. Little Ricky Schroeder and Jon Voight. Like, the scene in cinema that's been found the most likely to make people cry. It's like when Ricky Schroeder is, wait, Is that his real name?

Ricky Schroeder is the actor's name. Right.

I was trying to remember if that's his name in Silver Spoons or if that's his name. But anyway, you know, Ricky Schroeder crying, trying to, you know, trying to get the champ to, you know, keep him around or whatever. This has sort of strong echoes of that. And I knew it was coming. I was like, there's going to be a scene where little Tatum O'Neill has her heart broken because this guy who she knows is her father, but he won't actually acknowledge it. There's going to be this moment. And I was like, and I am not going to be OK. So I was like – I was literally trying to – also, again, even though I had run around Lake Union, I think I was still in a little bit of an emotionally fragile place from the events of Saturday night. Like I've noticed that on a morning after I've sort of had a busy night of drinking, like the morning after – That's such a good way. I've had a busy night of drinking. It really makes you sound more productive. Right. Exactly. Oh, God. You know what? Saturday night's no good for me. I've got a busy night of drinking scheduled. But I find myself I'm much more emotionally fragile the next day Which is probably my body trying to Recover from my attempts to end it It being My body but like I'm sitting There and I'm also just having a wonderful day with my Daughter who I love who shares A name with the character in the movie I don't think I'm a rapscalian On the level of Ryan O'Neill in this Movie nor am I as charming as Ryan O'Neill is in this movie but it's just like The parallels are sort of overwhelming to me in this moment and here we are we're watching this film and i just i'm having all these feelings of just getting to be with my daughter which always fills me with joy and watching this film and knowing that at the end of this film something's really going to make me want to cry but not wanting to like convulse in the theater so i'm like i don't want to be let's just say i'm trying to think of baseball i'm trying to think of things that are not emotional things that are like totally separate i'm trying to think of my taxes i'm trying to think of like i'm trying to take myself sort of out of the moment of the end of the film because i know that if i let myself experience it it's going to just get to me emotionally i'm going to start crying and then i'm going to be the dad who was sobbing during paper moon while all the other dads were keeping it together understanding that it is in fact a work of fiction and how did that turn out i would say i i would if if one is no crying and if 10 is uh sobbing openly in the theater i think i was about a five there was some crying but it wasn't like i didn't i wasn't like physically like hunching my shoulders and it wasn't like a lot of tears it was like uh it was like my eyes were a bit damn i don't think then i don't think that's

a five you think that i know i know what you're i think if it's a five people know okay so it was

a three but here was the thing i did have to dab my eyes which i didn't want to do because that was a real that's a dead giveaway like it wasn't that there was so much oh boy my nose really itches right the tears were not streaming down my face but my eyes were filled with water to the point where i had to sort of i tried to i i don't know why my brain is this way it's a dark movie theater no one cares but i had to try to act seriously like i've got an itch over here on the corner of my eye let me just get that let me get that and as soon as the movie is over addy goes to use the the restroom and i like put my sunglasses on and walk out and stand in front of the theater like a tim robinson character right like instead of kind of like being inside the the little lobby area and admiring some of the movie posters and stuff i realize i want to put on my sunglasses so no one can tell i've been crying but then i have to stand outside so the sunglasses make sense

like all of these and it's raining it was a dark rainy day yesterday it's just pouring down and

i'm just like joe biden out there in my aviators you could literally just had it rain on your face

man i was out here i was i was doing some calisthenics i can't say that word why would i even try to say that word on an off day for me how do you say that word luke calisthenics

calisthenics maybe you know we used to actually let's see here of course because it's a holiday I don't have my full complement of audio drops ready to go. But you know, we used to famously on this show play a Flight of the Conchords song. It's not crying. It's just been raining on my face.

Yes, yes. I mean, I always think of that as a TBTL-ism, like it's raining on my face. I think you guys used that forever. I don't think I knew it was from Concord. I think I just knew it as a TBTL thing, like it's raining on my face. By the way, calisthenics, like, again, like, this is war on people who either have a lisp or are recovering from a lisp like I am.

Also, it's also not a fun, like, if you want people to embrace the thing that's already physically not fun, don't make the saying of the word not fun.

Why would anybody put an S next to a TH sound? That is, like, just, it is warfare.

Anyway, I'm sorry to interrupt. No, I just, I guess what I wanted to say is, and the other thing, too, is, oh, I just I can't even the day worked out so perfectly in so many ways, Andrew. So the movie is over and we take a little walk around the neighborhood. And where do we end up? We walk smack dab into Addie's elementary school, which is called Orca. And then we're just standing there.

It's weird that she's still in elementary school, but I guess everybody's got their own journey.

Yeah. No, she's almost got enough credits to move on to sixth grade. We walk by her former elementary school and it's like we're just standing there. And, you know, I remember these days very well of taking her to Orca. And we start talking about Cranes Over Hiroshima, which was like a song that their class sang. She was like, you remember when we recorded that at the radio station? I had the whole class come to KUOW and sing the song Cranes Over Hiroshima in one of the studios and like recorded it and burned it onto CD, probably using KUOW resources. Like, we just have this great trip.

How did Dane feel about that?

I think he was fine with it.

Yeah, no, he was fine with most things.

Very hashtag chill. around my behaviors so then so it's like we none of this was planned but we just end up we go see a movie where the kid is named after my kid and then down the street from the movie theater is her old elementary school where we then stand and kind of like reminisce about all these fun family memories and you know she had a teacher there named dante who was one of those real kind of like you know just probably actually a great teacher to have when you're a little kid because they would say like you know you can do anything you know you the possibilities are endless if you can dream it you can be it and i think at one point he said something like if you want to fly you can fly and eddie i remember eddie coming home and going yeah i don't think that's real yeah no i don't think you can physically fly i don't think you can actually fly from wanting it badly enough

he was one of those teachers who seemed like a great teacher but also had a pcp problem and it led to led to a lot of issues with him telling kids that they could jump off a building today's class project is we're going to take this bike apart wait is that i always think of pcp like the thing

is that it was like such a hallucinogen that people would like okay maybe so i might be mixing up my heart i think that you're maybe thinking of like yeah more of a methamphetamine type of

situation yeah maybe so uh but um anyway uh and then we went and we got dinner at uh at cafe lago which is you know this restaurant in seattle that we love and that has that has um had a really strong family connection for me because all of my sisters have worked there addy worked there my brother david worked there it's like it's just kind of like our special place i will tell you andrew we walked in to get seated at the restaurant i told addy addy was going to sit in this one chair and i said i need to sit in that chair and she goes why and i go i'll tell you in a minute so we switch and i i go because behind me is my nemesis and i can't i don't really want to get into it with this person i don't know if they even know who i am but i don't want to i don't want to have a scene she's like okay it was the guy that seattle radio dude john fisher who

who like ripped me a new one when i was a traffic reporter the day you were telling me about him on the show or maybe it was the next day i realized that he was in a newspaper article about launching

a new show across the lake yeah some new there's a new radio station right yeah it's gonna be with

a new morning show with some a dj who had uh who had yeah kxp and so it's got some like yeah so it's got some old this this new radio show has some old school like seattle radio dna including this guy and i remember i sent it i sent it to you i'm like is this the guy you were literally naming and blaming on the show yesterday naming and shaming shaming is how that goes right

Cause like, I mean, it was, he was mean to me, but anyway, so after, after I was like on the air being like, that guy was a real jerk to me. And then he's in the local news for having, you know, been hired by this new radio station. And then Addy and I walk into the restaurant and he's just sitting there. I was like, okay, well this, I mean, again, I don't think any of this is on his radar, although I would have no problem if it was. Do you think he would have recognized you? I don't think so. Again, I don't think that this is, I don't think he's walking around, you know, beating himself up over a time that he yelled at a 21 year old traffic reporter 25 years ago like i don't think he i don't think he thinks about it ever but i just remember it as a really a really jerk move to me and so of course it's burned on my brain so i don't think he would have physically recognized me but on the small chance like i could see someone i could seattle radio is a pretty small world i could see somebody like going hey you know uh they um they're really taking you to task over on this tbtl podcast like that isn't a thing that is i told addy i go it's not likely he knows about

it but it's also not unlikely that is yeah that's interesting um i want to know did anybody at because you have so much you you had so many contacts at lago um and like you said some it was like a family affair on the i mean it's been it's been a decade since i've been there with you but i know that if we went there like you would always know somebody there or somebody in your family would know somebody there was it strange was this like the first time in a long time that you went in there and like you didn't have any connections to anybody or did you recognize some familiar

faces who recognized you um it we did not recognize anyone and it was a little bit uh it was an interesting feeling i mean i haven't been in there in a few years anyway but yeah it was sort of like up until probably i would say even the last time that i went in there there was like someone working somewhere within the restaurant that had some connection to you know one of my sisters or Addy or David or something like somebody that they had worked with but this was probably the first time where it's like no one in there knows us no one in there has worked with anyone from my family there's zero overlap at all it's just a restaurant it's just a restaurant that you go to and you sit down but of course you know me I can never like leave I can never leave something like that unsaid so our server was kind of our server had a sort of interesting affect I guess like I I think she was pretty competent, but she just had this, like, interesting demeanor to me, I thought. But so I was going to order some lasagna, which they're pretty famous for their lasagna there. It's really delicious. And I was like, OK, she goes, I go, and I'll take the lasagna, the one that doesn't have any meat in it. And she goes, do you want the big one or the small one? And I'm thinking, is there some new jumbo size section of lasagna they sell or something? I go, maybe I guess the small one. She goes, yeah, the big one is, like, really hard to finish. And so I said, yeah, well, I love the lasagna because my ex-wife used to work here and she would bring home the lasagna every night that didn't get consumed because they couldn't sell it the next day. They make all the pasta the day of. If they sell it, great. If they don't sell it, then it's going home with the staff. I couldn't not let her know that I had a lot of experience with this lasagna. Like literally.

Probably before this person was born, I was eating that lasagna. So, again, that's where it's the kind of thing where I can't just be, like, a chill person and go, great, I'll have the small one.

That's, well, that's, I mean, it's Father's Day. That is strong dad energy right there.

I was trying to think of a, and then when she came back and the plate was totally clean, I said, we didn't like this at all. Oh, no, you didn't. No, you didn't. Of course I didn't. I was trying to think of another equally, like, dad-ish kind of thing. For a second, I was with you.

I'm trying to think I'm sure I bet you I have said that before in my life, but it's weirdly it's been a while. I think it was so I was so young. I was a young adult who didn't realize how old of a joke that was.

So all that is to say it was a fun. Oh, and then, of course, my flight coming home was super delayed. We get on the airplane and then we're just sitting there for like probably almost 90 minutes waiting for something. And then finally the plane pushes back and then we land in Portland. It's like 1.30 in Portland or something, and the airport is packed. It's the most busy I've ever seen Portland International Airport. It's 1.30 on a Sunday night. I'm like, what is going on?

That is strange. You mentioned that before the show, and I've been trying to puzzle it out. Like, it doesn't seem – I mean, it is summertime. There's more, like, weekend travel, but, like, it doesn't seem like – and, again, if it was because it's a three-day weekend with Juneteenth being today – Wouldn't they be traveling on Monday? It doesn't seem like that would, yeah, lead to a super packed airport on a Sunday evening. It would be more of a Monday thing. So, yeah, I don't know, man. It was strange.

But all in all, a really, really fun weekend and a really fun Father's Day. And I cannot recommend the movie Paper Moon enough. Oh, that was the thing that Eddie was saying to me as we walked out. She goes, why is this not a cult classic? Why is this not something that, like, everybody has seen? Like, how did we get this far in our life, me and her? And particularly considering one of the characters shares a name with her without this even occurring to us to see.

So I love seeing movies like that in the theater. Like I'm looking at this Beacon Theater and their website describes it as a new theater. So I don't know when they wrote that on the website, but definitely not something that's been around for a long, long time. And that's exactly my kind of place, a place that doesn't just show maybe more art films, but also just like classic films for one night only. I love that.

And somebody else said that they really curate, like, I mean, they played that movie because it was Father's Day. Like, they have a really good sense of, like, hey, what would thematically be a fun thing to watch today? Another thing you can do with that, I'll just give them a free plug because it seems like a really cool little business. Addie said that her friend had rented the whole thing out because you can rent it out for, I don't know, a couple hundred bucks and then just invite your friends and then just watch whatever movie you want. And they had watched, of course, because she and her friends are the hippest people on earth. they had watched some sort of what's called a ramen western so it's like a japanese it's like a western set in japan but instead of a spaghetti western it's called like a ramen western from the 80s i guess looking down at the clock did we do it did we actually go over an hour today we did it joe we did it that's gonna do it i guess for today's episode um do we do a half hour show tomorrow since today's plan was to do a half hour i know we're i think we i mean i don't know how

Do we get a free half hour of not creating content at some point? I think we're like over an hour, basically. So, wow. But I will check out that movie, though. It does seem like it's up my own. And more so, I want to check out that theater. It sounds great.

I have probably now... See, I went in with no expectations, and so my non-expectations were completely exceeded. Now I've made it sound like it's the finest film in the history of filmmaking, which is probably too much hype. But if you haven't seen Paper Moon, do check it out.

Well, give me two months. I'll forget we even had this conversation. Perfect. Perfect. Oh, goldfish.

you forgot alright thanks for listening everybody we are going to be back here tomorrow with more imaginary radio for you in the meantime enjoy your Monday and please remember no mountain too tall and good luck to all

Sarge Hitchcock and Scully are out of control they got into a fight over the ranch dressing and now it's everywhere I figured it out, boy. They've been acting like kids, so I'm going to treat them like kids. Ooh, daddy's going to dish out some daddy discipline. As a fellow daddy, I approve. Stop saying daddy. You've got a papa bear. I actually kind of like that one.

Power out.
