Muse

Yeah, I've been DJing for, like, deuce years now. There's just something about loud music and tight spaces, you know? I just love it when the beat drops and everybody's face is like,

whoa, the beat just dropped! Yeah, that's what it's like. Yeah, that's what I do. I'm like, whoa! You're right? Yeah. That must be so fresh.

Oh, on a fresh level, it is the froshest. TBTN!

You gotta check out the dance. We got it. What dance? For the opening number. There's no open number, you just do a monologue. It's just a monologue? Yeah. Oh. I just come out and I just talk and I do like... Just talk, yeah. So there's no dance number in the beginning? No.

I'm sorry, all right? That's the kind of guy I am. I give little to no thought for the things that I do or say. Just off the top of my head, you know? South Dakota, cinnamon buns, tonic attain. Brett did not think about those words at all.

Could you crawl back out of my mind? All right, everybody, who's ready to laugh? Yeah! I can't hear you. That's not true, of course, but cheer louder. Yeah!

Okay!

It's kind of meta, and anything meta, sign this guy up, because I am totally down for that. Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds.

Well, all right. Hello, good morning. Welcome, everybody, to a Tuesday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

www.this and www.that. Let's www.explainit.

My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host.

I like turtles.

Coming to you from the Hollywood Broadcast Center right here in Portland, Oregon, where we're looking at kind of a, at least as of right now, sort of a gray, cloudy day. I was up at the other house that I'm working on last night doing some things, walking around in the tall grass. And let me tell you what, those mosquitoes really got me.

You know, it's not so much the burning, but the itching. Oh, my God, it's driving me crazy.

I went to a beautiful wedding on Sunday. I mean, in terms of backdrops, one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to, it was by this pond. It was at a place called Bridal Veil Park outside of Portland. The only thing that I would have done differently if I were, I don't know, the wedding planner is giving people bug spray because I was getting, we were all getting chomped by mosquitoes. I'm wondering if in the same way that the pollen count is especially bad this year because of rain and such, I wonder if the mosquito count is bad. Anyway, I'm going to put that out of my mind and put this into my mind. Episode 3,975 in a collector's series. Let the fun begin. A mere 25 episodes from the TBTL 4000. Get your tickets right now at tbtl.net. The newly functional tbtl.net website. More on that in a moment. Also, big news in the world of game shows. You play to win the game. The new host of The Price is Right has been announced. They did it with speed. didn't want any shenanigans any weirdness like what happened with jeopardy and we know who the new host of wheel will be and we will talk about that also um the most customer satisfying restaurants in america have been announced and uh it's not two places that i would have expected necessarily so we'll get into that and we'll talk to this guy longest running cobra of the show Maybe best known for his depictions of the tall ships, their grace, their majesty, and all that intricate rigging. He is a mom on the net, and we've been calling him Andrew Walsh for a long time, but his new name is Targus, Targus. And he's joining us right now. Good morning, my friend. Good morning, Luke.

We have comments now. People are leaving comments on the show pages.

Oh, that's another thing.

That's what I'm excited about. I'm excited about this. Because the one thing that, as a very confident podcaster, I feel like I'm missing in my life is the ability of people to get at me directly with corrections, complaints. So how long did that take to go from excitement to abject sadness? I don't know. Is anybody timing that? No, I'm excited. As you mentioned, we got the new website kind of transferred over now.

You got the new website. You and some hero at APM spent hours yesterday deep in the metadata. and managed to make TVTL.net whole again, and thank you for doing that.

Yes, we have a new website now. It had been sort of, we had been operating on kind of, I don't know, parallel websites for the past couple of weeks. You know what, Luke? It was a soft launch is the word I like to use. I think I already said that maybe once on the show, but everybody's talking about soft launches now. By the way, I know you were going to say that. Well, can we just pause and, like, know that you're going to?

to say that i by the way i was in a soft one cat to lick it up don't give him a bowl of milk andrew wow i've never heard that one before because i just made it up and i don't really think it works i was gonna say is that i said it with a level of confidence you really sound like this is a thing people say but i just meant you know don't tee me up for my go-to joke anytime the word soft is involved are you giving bubbles milk by the way because cats love no i heard that's actually bad I think it is. I don't know if it's because of... Every cartoon I watched as a kid lied to me.

And I feel like growing up in the country, we'd give our barn cats milk sometimes. I mean, they love it.

It was considered their finest treat. But you know what? Another, maybe this was just Bubbles and Holly Golightly's feelings the other day, but Becca made these incredible fish sandwiches on Saturday in the style of ones that we had had when we were in San Diego at the Hotel Del Coronado. and a piece of fish dropped on the floor of the apartment and there were two cats there and we were like, well, this is everything that Heathcliff taught us was that these cats are going to go wild for this fish and neither one even sniffed at it.

What was the condition of the fish at the time? Was it already like cooked and breaded?

It was cooked. It wasn't breaded. It was halibut. It was deliciously seasoned. It was not breaded. It was like a little section of like a halibut steak.

Yeah, and if it wasn't heavily, like I say, pankoed or anything, I am kind of surprised. But I was cooking some chicken the other day, Luke, outside on the grill, and I just set the chicken outside, raw chicken, chicken thighs. I set it outside for a second as I ran inside to grab a spatula or something I'd forgotten, and I thought for a brief moment, like, you'd never turn your back on chicken in this neighborhood because the crows. Like, I could see the crows swooping down and taking this, and then I was like, wait a second. like that's birds eating raw birds like that's pretty effed up even for a crow yeah so i don't

know anyway it was fine but later you were cooking crow and they were really into that yeah and a

bunch of chickens came over and said about time about time they said i saw a chicken coop on

instagram that was so cool it made me want to become a person who has chickens is that not the most like encapsulation of how i move through the world i've never thought about having chickens i I don't even, like, I like eggs. If I'm at, you know, a restaurant for breakfast, I'll definitely get some eggs, although I don't have any eggs in this house. I'm a little weirded out by, like, farm-fresh eggs for some reason, which makes no sense.

Well, it sort of does because you got to wipe the poop off them. Like, I have a friend who has some chicken coops and chicken poop, which is in there. And we actually have a couple of people who have that. And if they go out of town, they'll sometimes ask their friends, hey, can you watch the chickens on this day and you can keep all the eggs you want? And it's a very nice it's a very nice deal, honestly. And the eggs are really good. But I do have to and I don't usually get the eggs myself. I say if Genevieve's into it, she'll do it. I don't feel like kind of stomping around in hay and poop, plucking up eggs. But if Genevieve brings the eggs home, I will wipe them all off because you do. I mean, there is something kind of grody about being that close to it when we're kind of have a more anodyne approach to eggs when we just buy them at Kroger or what have you.

Really good use of anodyne, by the way. Thank you. That's a word that bedevils me. I can never exactly figure out how to use it. And that was a perfect use of it. Thank you. But yeah, I mean, there should be like, and people are going to start emailing because if you, you know, like an egg that was laid by a chicken that you fed yourself is so much less kind of mysterious than something that just came from some giant processing facility where God knows what the condition for the chickens were, et cetera. So I should be like, that should be what I want to be eating. But there's people will be like, and the yolks are so orange. And I'm like, maybe less orange on the yolks. I don't know. They're like, they're just beautiful. that's like giant it's like as big as your hand i'm like is this what is this the um what was the jules verne not 20 000 leagues but it was another one that's the only one i know it's like the um the time machine or something oh that rings a bell i think that i remember there was a movie that i watched as a kid that i think it was the time machine uh based on a jules verne book and there was something where the guy goes back in time to the dinosaur era or something and I just remember him eating this, being super excited because he found this egg that was laid by some sort of prehistoric bird and the egg was like as big as a cantaloupe and he was like, it's amazing. And I remember being a kid thinking, don't eat that.

There is a book called The Time Machine, but it's H.G. Wells. H.G. Wells. Okay, gotcha. Thank you.

That's the one I'm thinking of. I mix him and Jules Verne up.

And then I forgot that Vern was around the world in 80 days. Oh, right. Phileas Fogg. Oh, is that one of the characters? That's come up on the show.

I think that's the guy who's maybe the main person who's taking on the challenge to go around the world in 80 days.

I see. Yeah, in a balloon and all kinds of other things. You just keep talking. I'm trying to figure out how to change the icon on the website. You know when you open up the new website?

Oh, hey, by the way, do you want to share with the listeners a little bit more about that?

Yeah, but maybe you just should just keep talking about Jules Verne.

The moment where you found a piece of bad code?

How about you just talk the rest of the show and I keep on working on the website? That's what I want to do.

Actually, you know what? That's a good division of labor because I'm zero help. Okay, to let the listeners even further behind the curtain, we have had the website tbtl.net the entire time we've been at APM. We've had that website because I've been paying, I don't know, 100 bucks a year or something, all because I was worried that APM would try to fire us and take tbtl.net away from us. So I never wanted it to be in their hands.

Which, by the way, there was never indication that that was going to happen, but we both shared that fear. I mean, the fear was based on the fact that, like, someday somebody at 8 p.m. and a gust institution would listen to TBTL for the first time and be like, this is on our network. And then, you know, so that's on us.

I felt like owning the URL TBTL.net gave us some sort of amount of agency for, like, we can just, like, pick up and move. But it turns out, Andrew, that I was wrong because even though I've been paying the bill on tbtl.net for all these years, somehow in the DNS system, it was pointing to an APM thing. And even though I had gone in there and forwarded the thing to the new website, it was not – you had to spend a lot of time yesterday literally like looking at code and maybe bad pieces of code to fix this.

i say code but i mean i was using that word i don't think that's the proper term for it but there's some dns log which i don't really know what that means it's like dns don't name name domain name domain name not superman sweet domain not sweet anyway that was what was happening when i was in charge of this the problem is i don't really know the language around this stuff either I know we have listeners who know it like the back of their hand. But, you know, I'm still sort of, I'm obviously very much learning on this. And our new site is powered by Squarespace. Domain Name System. System.

But I do think Domain Not Sweet is a close second.

Write that down as a possible show title.

That's actually a winery out in the Willamette Valley that I love to go to. Domain Not Sweet.

Domain Not Sweet. Sweet Bear Wine. Anyway, yeah, you were on the phone with GoDaddy for a while. They weren't much help to you. And then I will say this, and I said this to you before the show, too. I'm just like I continue as we as we are getting very near the end of our transition process away from APM. I am bowled over by the kindness and patience with people at APM, many of whom I haven't really worked with closely before as they help us in this venture.

If these people would have been at APM, we wouldn't be leaving.

I think is the takeaway. But anyway, so I met somebody named Mike who's like I can't remember what his title is. It's very impressive. It's something like he's like an Internet engineer, Luke. Let's just call him that. And I said, Mike, his name is John domain. So sweet. I spent so much time with him yesterday. I gave him a nickname, which was Mike. But no, it was really nice. And he said, well, you could ask John, maybe he could help. And that was after I had already gotten some help from some other folks. And then John just said, well, let's just do a screen share. Are you available now? I'm just like, yeah. And like he was just like on my computer with me for over an hour, like a help desk, helping me figure out GoDaddy and Squarespace. Like this was not APM's problem anymore. We're all APM had to do. I even said this to him at one point. How did anything go wrong with names like GoDaddy and Squarespace? I said, like, all you guys had to do was, like, turn off the power on us and say, good luck with your website. But he was really befuddled, too. There were some weird DNS records in there. I think that's the proper term. And we blew those away, which then kind of killed the site totally for a while. And the forwarding wasn't working.

I heard you were getting some messages from people that were a little concerned.

Yeah, no, I mean, it was all good hearted, but it was a weird confluence of things. I don't know if I use yeah I think I'll go with confluence there very anodyne uses sure I think your first use was better but sure yeah anyway because I got swept up in this troubleshooting of the website which is very important for our fundraising efforts and everything good not to have a dead website on day one I got swept up in this which pushed my show production back a bit and usually if the tbtl episode is not posted by 2 p.m pacific time people start getting worried I start seeing notes here and there like I'm not seeing it where is it and that's good that means people are waiting for the show to drop that is awesome and I try to get that 2 p.m. deadline whenever possible but here I am I'm working on the website now it's like 2 33 o'clock now people are going to the website to say like hey where's the show and they're getting a dead end various versions of a dead end screen in. as first we were trying to troubleshoot and then eventually we solved the problem but it said may take 24 hours to import and resolve and i'm just like oh man and i'm getting more and more messages from people um and uh it was one of those things where everybody was just wanting to let me know you know they weren't like hey you bum like this hey just so you know you know work on this uh dry up you bum go suck an egg um but uh but as as more time goes on and i'm i'm like trying to troubleshoot this and i'm getting a bunch of text messages from personal friends and on the text line and email i'm just like okay i'm trying to field all these things and also trying to fix the website at the same time but uh it's resolved man like right now i'm gonna i need to figure out how to change the image on the uh on the tab and i'll do that during the show when i'm allowed to zone out later when you're talking about um ryan seacrest but um no i uh now they know who the new host of wheel is oh shit you didn't i didn't realize that you were withholding that trying to

really tantalize them without not giving that information huge news um but i will say so that's

all kind of boring it was an interesting day yesterday i felt i went from feeling pretty anxious at around three o'clock because what it's like i came down here to start doing show prep maybe around nine or nine thirty in the morning and then once i started on this project at four thirty i left my office and i realized oh i haven't left this room all day which again like other people work a lot harder than that it's not a big deal people go to work like it's not a big deal but i literally kept saying i'll get lunch in a bit i'll get lunch in a bit and then suddenly it was like 4 30 and i was just like i'm gonna get dinner and i could walk on sunshine i was feeling so good to have trouble shot something and have it totally resolved and this is a really big step in tbtl independence capital i is to have our own working website with a good solid url i wanted to tell you something luke i went to pick up jen i had some running around to do after this adventure and then it became like five o'clock and i'm like i still haven't eaten lunch i just god i'm gonna i needed to horf something i was really hungry and i realized you know i could probably pick up genevieve from work and we can get like an early dinner actually if it's that early it's a supper i think you got to call it supper right so so i text genevieve she's like sure pick me up on the ave here in the u district and we'll find a place and i was in a mood for something i'm not usually in the mood for which was like a decent like pub burger sort of i think pub burger is a specific kind of burger but like i wanted to sit at like a kind of bar type of atmosphere and get a burger i don't usually crave burgers but i didn't want it to be a dive you know me i'm not highfalutin with things i didn't want to i was kind of grubby i didn't want to go to a fancy place but i didn't want to go to just like a dive you know what i mean i didn't want to order necessarily at the bar i wanted some sort of table service and i was like i want to you know i didn't vocalize this but let me put it this way i wanted the kind of burger that would possibly come with the knife sticking out of it uh-huh you know what i mean like that level like not high dining but also not like eating out of a basket with paper which i sometimes really crave that too but like i just wanted something that was a little and we found a place i just was like scrolling on the map until Well, I found a place that worked for us, and it is a place that I found. We rolled up to it, and we parked, and I'm like, I've been in this building before. I swear this is that building where that nice restaurant called Sawyer used to be. We had a nice dinner at a place called Sawyer, and Luke, you'll love this. It's because it's one of those old buildings that used to be like a sawmill, so they named the restaurant Sawyer as kind of a nod to the saws that it used to house. It's called Sauer? Yes. Well, that's how I...

It's the rural Saurer. The rural Saurer? Yes, exactly. Is it near where you live? Is it near Green Lake? It's in Ballard. It's in Ballard.

So it's one of those kind of like one of those reclaimed... Like King's Hardware. Yes. But now, and now I'm really stalling because I started this whole thing that I was excited to tell you about, and now I can't remember the name of it. It's not Sizzle and Crunch. I need to find the name of it. But Luke, it's no longer Sawyer, because that was kind of a fancy restaurant, but it is just a pub that is decent food but you know what it is it's seattle's first sports bar focused on

women's sports it's like the sports brawl well yeah wow so that's and it's called um it's not

called sour anymore now no let me look this up i'm looking at women's sports bar uh and it's like

exactly rough and tumble it's called and you know they were putting it hilarious i don't they must have must have heard about what was going on here in portland or two people had the same idea at the

same time i asked well i was in there and i was like am i just on a different block but all of these old industrial buildings kind of have the same layout because i was like blown away i was like i remember the open form kitchen over here like i swear this is the same place where we had a fancy dinner with friends like two years ago but it's just totally different now and it turns out that this place did open in december of last year so i don't know that Thank you. It sounds like it's been open. Maybe it's a little bit newer than the sports bra down in Portland, but it's like, it is a really cool vibe. Like I liked it. Like, and you know, the Mariners game was just starting. They weren't playing exclusively women's sports. I don't know what the options were yesterday, but it's just, but that's the theme of the place. And it's just like really well done and it's good food. And it was exactly, exactly what I needed. I can't. Did they have a knife in your burger? I don't think so, but it was that quality of a burger. You know what I mean? Yeah. So anyway, Was it some kind of steak fries? I got tater tots, but they were really well done. I don't know what the difference was. Maybe it was the way they seasoned them, but they weren't like limp little things that are just going to lay there, if that's what you think, Luke.

I got a powerful hankering for steak fries on Sunday and had to order from my local Red Robin, which is great because they've also got a veggie burger and an impossible burger now. So really all I want are the steak fries and a side of ranch, but I was able to get the cheeseburger, but kind of do it up the way that I like it without the meat and then get extra steak fries and watch Dateline NBC and eat my steak fries. And it was always right in the world.

Yeah. So anyway, that story about a website ended with me. I really wanted to recommend everybody check. I mean, not everybody, because one thing I liked about it too was it wasn't super crowded. Although I want them to stay in business. So I want them to have a bit of a crowd, but I don't want it to be crowded when I'm there. So maybe I could just let people know when I'm going there.

We'll start some kind of a list serve where people can decide, You know, basically dibs on what day people can go based on when you're going to go.

There will be like just a website called Is Andrew at Rough and Tumble? And you just go and it says yes or no. And if it says yes, you can't come. But anyway, I do recommend people check it out because they're a new place. I really like the vibe. I like the people there. The food was good. And so if you're looking for a place in Ballard that is very chill but not like divey, which is usually what I'm drawn to, I would recommend Rough and Tumble.

But the bigger story with this website thing is I want to go on the record as saying I will never doubt you again when it comes to the tech space Because When did you doubt me? A lot up until yesterday Huh, interesting No, but like I could not understand This happens actually pretty frequently in our friendship And our sort of professional association There will be On the rare occasion that I am tasked with trying to figure out Any even little bit of tech stuff i'll hit a wall and i was like i don't there's no way for this thing to be more forwarded to what like i was just like there's just only three buttons on this and i'm doing them and i could tell from you i mean rightfully so you were like i bet you there's actually more that can be done and i was like i have looked at it dude it can't be and you're like can you maybe just give me the login i was like have fun with that and then like three hours later you're like well we've fixed it you were totally right and i this it goes back to the the subject of last week's hey dummies video where people asked somebody was asking what we've learned from each other and i was saying that i really admire your kind of oh yeah that's nice systematic approach to problem solving and this is just another example of it and anytime that i think well this is you know this is what it is and andrew thinks he can tinker with this and fix it but this is this is not fixable uh i'm never gonna think that again because you absolutely you and john mike yes absolutely did this and i'm impressed and i just want to be i want to state for the record i'll never doubt you again my brother friend john mike uh john mike and you really did a number on

the old website yeah no i'm pretty psyched about that um oh i just am seeing here somebody saying that there's an issue with a bunch of uh links opening up in new tabs i realize that i'm gonna to get on that today i know why i just need to fix it sorry about that geez geez uh let's take a quick break and then we come back will can i actually reiterate one thing that i said before i'm sorry i know you were i'm being serious here i did start by saying comments so in all seriousness i don't know if i've really mentioned this on the show i feel like maybe i did but i i know there are a lot of ways to get back at us i mean we can have conversations on the tbtl slack which we do and a lot of people are on Facebook, but there's something kind of old school about like where I post the daily show now on the new website. It's just it's basically a Squarespace blog that you get to through tbtl.net and you just click on episodes or shows or whatever it's called and you'll see all the daily shows. You can listen online if you want to. I think most people prefer to listen on an app. That makes sense. But it does open a new avenue for people to talk about stuff they heard on the show and respond to each other. So if you're somebody who's like, I don't feel like being on Facebook anymore, or I haven't been on Facebook in years, and I don't feel like learning Slack, like a lot of people associate Slack with, you know, being at work or whatever, and they don't feel like being on Slack for fun, although we have a pretty fun community. It's very old school, but I kind of like the fact that I just left the comments open on the Daily Show blog. So we already got a comment from Mary, the former TBTL virgin in Arizona. The comment was, hey, we can leave comments. But, hey, that's a good start, man. And. like you can respond to people. And so, you know, I'm just leaving that open for now. If it ends up being a problem or if it ends up looking clunky, I can always close it down. But if you're somebody like that, like take advantage of that. I thought it could be another fun place. And one thing I mentioned in the newsletter, too, is on the new website, we have the new 10 of the week form where people can sign up to be the 10 of the week in the in the weekly newsletter. But also we have a 10 of the week archive now where you can go back and look at previous 10s of the week and we'll kind of keep an archive there which i think that's really fun too to be we just go to a page and we just see a bunch of smiling faces of of people who love the show and you can learn a little bit about them so

check out those i like the proximity to for the comments being where also that episode is yes because if you're doing it on the stens page uh or you know uh slack that's a great place to do it but also it's a little bit more like oh remember on tuesday's show when luke got this wrong but now you can just go right to where that actual episode is and be like did anybody else when when they talked about this anybody else think of this etc like I just like that it's the comment is where

the audio is yeah yeah I think that they I think that there are some nice things about this new space that we have so check it out and all seriousness if you do run into any issues

hit me up all right let us take a break and when we come back we will reveal who the new host of wheel of fortune is i know you've been waiting for it we're going to tell you after this on tbtl it's probably seacrest hello and welcome to top story oh i meant to tell you andrew uh this is apropos of almost nothing but remember how i was saying how i had to go on etsy and buy a like a magnetic base for a google

nest camera yes yes yes yes yes because you couldn't buy the base without buying the whole

camera yeah exactly which is you know that's google uh you know maximizing their profit so basically like i have these little cameras up at the other house and they're they're rechargeable the camera themselves so the camera is this little kind of like sort of i don't know oval shaped little almost it's almost shaped like a giant pill or something um and then you can take it you know off of the mounting thing because it's magnetized so it sticks it's kind of like a ball in a ball joint you can un take it off of that and then take it inside and charge it and then it's charged up for like two or three months and then you take it back out and you put it it goes back onto this magnetic thing i somehow managed to lose the base the other day which is like very hard to do but i did it because uh you know i'm um i'm an overachiever and uh i went to try to buy the replacement and they don't sell the replacement i had to find this bizarro company possibly from china that was also using etsy which seemed weird to me but um the thing came in the mail and what i realized when i got it andrew is it's 3d printed oh this base is 3d printed

people are saying listen you can't buy the original replacements the company won't let you do it but i can just make my own and sell them on etsy for people who are in a jam

and print them yeah it's very clear you can tell from the just kind of like the ridges on it and just the whole the way that it works uh there's a mounting bracket as well and it's just like somebody in china is just straight up 3d printing these things and i was out at the house yesterday and i uh put you know put the new bracket up and put this thing and i was like is this going to work works like a charm absolutely uh flawless performance so i was just i guess that was one of the first times that i've encountered something that was 3d printed as a solution to a problem not

just as a like look what we can do do you think that you or i maybe i'm trying to figure figure out who would be more likely to have one me because i like tech stuff a little bit more at least like kind of the stuff we were just talking about before the break kind of digging into learning how to do that kind of stuff um on the other hand you're the type of person who will buy something on a whim like a 3d printer but do you think either one of us or both of us will have a 3d printer at some point in our lives yes it becomes so user-friendly and ubiquitous that

you and i will have them i think so but only when it becomes extremely user-friendly and ubiquitous only when it is solving a problem that we are not currently aware that we have sure like when it's just literally the easiest way to do something and i don't know what that something is but i i would imagine i will own a 3d printer before my life is done i might i don't know but yeah again it was just like i was i was weirdly like thrilled by this realization because again there's a lot of stuff that's 3d printed mostly to prove that it can be 3d printed like look what we like there are these 3d printed houses now which i'm sure there is first of all i'll probably end up doing a cbs story on it so forget i said what i'm about to say but i'm I'm sure that there is actually some, I don't know, like, when they say 3D printed houses, the ones that I've seen, what it means is that the walls are all kind of like this, like, you know, material, this kind of goo that then hardens. And the thing, the machine just pours the goo in, you know, these particular patterns. It doesn't, the roof is not 3D printed. It's just the walls. And what I thought, like, if you ever built a house or anything, you're like, the framing of the house is actually not the hardest part. like you know the framing goes up pretty quickly all the other stuff the electrical the plumbing the like there's a bunch of other stuff that's the real hassle of a house but the actual like putting up two by fours putting in headers the framing of a home is that's what the 3d printing of a home is apparently solving for and to me it's like it's kind of cool but i don't know if it's actually less of a hassle than just building a home at least that part of the home in the sort of more traditional way anyway this little dumb magnetic thing i was like oh this is definitely the easiest way to make this and somebody sold this to me for like 33 on etsy so like they're making this for way less than that and shipping it to me and like this is just the best way to do this for them and again i felt like the future is now and and you're in you're happy with it you're happy with i am it's working i can look at the camera right now on my telephone and uh it's it's all working it's very the the people that are working on the house don't like it no not at all but um which has actually been kind of a thing like really yeah not like a thing thing but there's um there's a few people that have been regularly like there's a main contractor dude and then there's uh his son who is a little younger than me but um a super duper unbelievably smart and competent builder and just smart person in general and then a few other guys but the sun is not doesn't love that there's cameras up there and like one time was doing part of the project and put his hat over one of the cameras really sometimes the cameras will make their way and it's none of it has to do with any kind of workmanship or anything like that i think it's just some people just don't like the feeling of being surveilled in that way which yeah i sort of respect but it's also like yeah but i am paying you uh many thousands of dollars to be there and

work and and i don't have the camera set up and i've even clarified this it's not because i'm checking on anyone it's because i literally get pumped when i see that there's progress happening you know what i mean it's not so i can be like where were you on tuesday it's so i can just be like oh my god they put the sliding glass doors in which they did andrew yeah and i was so pumped yesterday to sit and i decided what i was really craving was like a totally non-nutritious salad like i rarely do this i went to the store down there in the little town by me and i bought like something called american salad which i didn't even know was a category you know like those bags of salad you've got like caesar you've got the more healthy ones you've got the little plastic tubs which is what i usually go for you know something with um i'm a big bibb lettuce guy these days but you can do spring mix or whatever there is also one called american salad and what that is it's just a shit ton of iceberg lettuce american salad means no nutritional value american

then it's got it's got chicken wings and blue cheese dressing on it yeah yes and a questionable

take on the vaccine so i buy a bag of american salad and i'm not done there i go get me some ranch dressing i get me some uh mozzarella some shredded mozzarella cheese and some black olives and a tomato and i was basically trying to reenact this salad that i used to get when i lived in bellingham at a place called cascade pizza which was just a bunch of iceberg lettuce a giant pile of mozzarella cheese a bunch of ranch and like two or three stray tomato pieces i made this salad and let me tell you it was everything i was hoping for i don't know what i've been doing eating healthy salad all these years american salad is the way to go american salad american salad amen uh speaking of american traditions uh yes ryan seacrest has been announced as the new host the new host of wheel of fortune uh i guess this is somewhat not controversial is not the right word but i guess some people were bummed out that the job did not go to vanna white and i just want to say i don't think that would have been a good fit for vanna white i don't know if it'll be a great fit for ryan seacrest but the the doing what vanna white does on the show and and doing what Pat Sajak does on the show feel like really different jobs. And I know that Vanna White is, you know, associated with the show deeply and as much as Pat Sajak is, but I don't feel like that would have been the right. People were like online were like, how could you not just make Vanna the host? I'm like, do you understand how any of this works? Like that wouldn't be the same show.

You know, I don't have strong feelings, but I believe I brought that up like as a possibility, like it would be kind of interesting, you know. So, again, like, I haven't watched the show in a long time, but you said that she fills in sometimes. So I was just, I just got the strangest goddamn text message. It's got to be a wrong number. And people are always concerned that I'm getting phished. Social engineering. Luke, I just got.

This is a social engineering attack.

On my personal text line. This is not the TBTL text line.

This is the beginning of a social engineering attack.

What is the 831 area code? Do we know? I don't even think that is an area code. Let me see here. it's um let's see here it's in california so somebody in monterey california uh just sent me a photo of how can i describe this so it's a hand holding a bottle of some sort of what looks to be expensive french wine but like a big one it might even be it might be champagne or some sort of sparkling wine because it's one of those big bottles but it's a woman's hand holding it with like some sort of a um some sort of like kind of a stone art stone bracelet and the background is like a um is like the type of like richness or sort of opulence that you'd expect like sort of trumpy or maybe like in a in a hotel that provides like old school charm like it's not enough like there's no curtain rods in this i can't tell if it's like super cheap and looking rich you see any document boxes what's that i don't see any document boxes but it's like uh it's like in some sort of either a fancy banquet there's literally coco there's like pillars in the back i'm gonna send this that sounds like rococo is rococo is the style of that kind of yeah it's kind of like

um ornamental style that's like overly done a lot of gilding a lot of like it's like it's it's the kind of thing that people who want you to know that they're fancy will tend to do in i'm sure

there's a lot of it in mar-a-lago yes yes it's that kind of style yeah although like i can't tell how like you know like if if i'm looking at real real wealth here or not it sort of seems like it to me but here's what i want to do i'm going to send you this photo now some people say whenever you get something like this um oh sorry i'm just looking at our text chain you've now sent me two tiktoks i haven't checked out yet i'm sorry okay i will get to it um you've been busy fixing the website but i'm assuming that this person meant to like send this bottle to somebody because they're excited for some big event that's about to happen or something along those lines and i'm wondering do i respond with a uh tell me where to show up do i respond with a whoa right that looks like an

expensive bottle right like that and it doesn't seem like uh it doesn't seem like you're being fished no i don't know how the scam would work well people say that the scam is just like you

Respond by saying wrong number and then they engage you in some way. I was like, I mean, honestly

I feel like I owe them some money for the cleverness of this photo if this is the right if this is the enticement it's genius work because it's Because it's so not a thing that seems like a scam It seems like somebody was took a picture of some really fancy like you said maybe champagne or bubbles and they wanted to tell their friend Like we're gonna open the Romani same vivant and they just sent it to the wrong person i'm looking at how much these things i mean there

looks like i've been dinged before by listeners for always just like looking up wine quickly and giving the most expensive one i guess there's a lot of inflation online but i do see that some of these bottles of wine go for the tens of thousands of dollars uh some are in the hundreds uh who knows what i'm looking at here but i do get the impression that somebody somebody out there is very excited about something that is about to happen um and i received this picture and now i don't know if i should engage or not do i owe them a wrong number but can i i would love

to know should i respond if you don't mind i would love it if you would respond so we can find out because this feels to me like somebody was trying to tell their friend look at this shit and they just send it to the wrong person uh with a um with the new hampshire area code should i right

so i wrote i haven't hit go on this yet i think this is wrong i could use some tweaking i wrote i think you have the wrong number but i'm hoping this really is for me um is that too forward is that i don't want to come off as gross or creepy i'd start with what are you wearing okay i think you have the wrong number but if not where's the party no too gross what's that i want to i want If not, do you party? But if not, are you cool, man? Yeah, man.

Should, let's see. How about like wrong number, but that seems like a fun time?

Yeah, but wrong, I'm trying to wedge my way into whatever's happening, though.

Right, if it's a $10,000 bottle of bubbles.

I think you have the wrong number, but I'm down to clowns. Somehow I'm getting, somehow I'm getting further and further away from the innocence of my youth. okay I'll figure this out I'm sorry to interrupt but I was going to say like if Vanna White did a good job as a fill-in why is she the wrong pick because i just think you have to be listen vana white seems like a nice enough person but i think that job of the host you have to be quick with a quip but have you heard

her host like are you i didn't i'm not a real person either yeah yeah um so i didn't i haven't

watched her host i just know that well that's not true maybe there's been one that i've caught where she's hosted i don't think she's like incompetent at it but i just think that there's a certain kind of energy and personality and thing that you need to be kind of keeping the trains moving on that show and it's a different skill set than the skill set that vanna white brings to the program since we're talking about texts andrew when i was looking at the picture of the bottle you sent me it reminded me of our friend chat our sports chat that we're on and that our friend john sent a baseball card of his niece who is a five-year-old baseball player somewhere and they you know they they give they do these cards which i had them when i was a little league player i love that they list the height though because her height is three foot eight there's something hilarious about a baseball card where the player is listed at three foot eight i cannot get over this picture of clara age five right now position first base height three foot eight she plays for the ninja

turtles she plays for the ninja turtles it's so perfect height three foot eight i'm trying to see where oh there it is first base yeah my only my only quibble is um why are the stats on the front of the card i mean it's an expression the back of the card is where you put the stats i think it's

probably a printing thing it's probably cheaper honestly one of my most treasured possessions is this dumb baseball card that i have somewhere of me when i played for domino's pizza back in the day and i i think my stats were on the back i bet you i wouldn't much more than three foot eight at that time but i kind of love that uh that little card thing for whatever reason um i landed on i

think you have the wrong number but dang i hope not i'll let you know i'll let you know if this gets real fishy real fast and for people who are like don't engage you're gonna get fished it's like i trust myself on the second step of this exactly you know what i mean like some nothing There's nothing this person is going to write back and be like, God dang. All right, here's my credit card info. You know what? This is my mom's maiden name. I did win the lottery, but I do need to pay the taxes first. I think I can go at least one round with a clever scammer. I think. We'll see. We'll see.

There's an association that rates the, it's called the ACSI, and they rate how satisfied people are with their dining experience and they survey like 16,000 people and for the I want to say like ninth year in a row Chick-fil-a has been selected as the restaurant that the customers of the restaurant say they are the most satisfied with and a close second is is Jimmy's John, which I have a slight issue with, by the way. I've been meaning to talk to you about this. Okay.

You know how Jimmy John's...

You don't mess with Jimmy John's, do you?

Very rarely. I've had one in the past six months or so. I went down to the one in Northgate, and I was impressed. It was a good sandwich.

I do really enjoy it. I deeply dislike Jimmy John and what he stands for. He's one of those trophy hunters who will go pay all this money to, like, kill a beautiful giant animal and then pose next to it. It's one of those things, like, actually, speaking of, like, interesting that Chick-fil-A and Jimmy John's are the top two, and they're both ones that Veeves would probably have to do, like, a donation offset.

Yeah, well, I can't even tell what's going on with Chick-fil-A anymore because, like, everybody's mad at them, but everybody loves their food. I know, they're too woke now. They're just like, they're too woke, they're not woke now.

Because they deigned to hire, like, a diversity, equity, and inclusion person. Is that what happened? I didn't even know why. Yeah, that's literally, they hired somebody to run their diversity, equity, inclusion, and that got out and now they're too woke the place that uh does not like uh believe in uh being gay and is closed on sunday so everyone can go pray to the lord baby jesus is too woke

because they have diversity equity and inclusion i know that this is not a unique thing to say in fact it's probably quite pat at this point but it really does seem like the people who are most concerned with cancel culture are really trying to cancel a lot of shit like from bud light to chick-fil-a to like i feel like wait who are the people who are trying to do the canceling here

right it's like you're you're it is really something to see uh to to watch who they turn on next it's like and it doesn't take anything at all but if it gets caught up in the like the sort of i don't know the updraft of whatever we

Thank you.

websites or Fox News or probably One America Network or wherever these people are hanging out, all it takes is somebody declaring that you're woke and then forget it. Then it's a runaway train. Whether or not you even are, who knows what woke even means. I think it's kind of interesting, though, that Jimmy John's is on the list because Jimmy John's whole thing is sandwiches so fast you'll freak. They're very proud of the fact that the sandwich will be made super quickly and probably and i like the food at jimmy john's again i don't like the politics but i like the food um and there's one by me and i am certainly uh somebody who will go there on occasion but the last like three or four times i've had to wait so long for them to make this oh really yeah i'm freaking but for a totally different reason i'm freaking because of how long it's taking to make the sandwich and i think some of it has to do with um like doordash culture and delivery culture like you can walk into a restaurant now or whatever jimmy john's is and be the only person in there and be 30th in line for getting your sandwich because there's so much happening behind the scenes with various sandwiches that are being made to be biked out or driven out or something else so i think they need to retire i would just tell you my customer satisfaction index on jimmy john's is don't tell me the sandwich is going to be so fast i'll freak because it's not that fast anymore yeah they used to have the

the fast talking guy on the radio commercials too right i don't i it wasn't the micro machines guy but it was somebody like him kind of doing that man it was scat man scat what's the scat man's

last name scat well scat man's world oh that's right his last name is swirled scat man's world that's right that's right man that brings me back i um not to be confused with jeremy renner who's also scatting it's wrong with him there's one other thing about this story that i think is kind of weird which is so you have this this organization the american customer satisfaction index which basically i think exists to be written about in stories like this and talked about on podcasts and then to probably give out some kind of award to restaurants where there's something that's etched in like a glass tablet that is then mounted on the wall and it turns out that uh it costs uh five thousand dollars to get your award but people want to have it because it's like a acsi top winner for 2023 or something you know i mean like there are these i think jp power and associates is another one like these organizations that exist to give out awards to companies that would like to be able to tell you they got the award but they're going through the list of like the most you know satisfactory restaurants which already mentioned chick-fil-a jimmy john's least satisfactory restaurants taco bell and mcdonald's and then you keep going down oh by the way in the um full service restaurants the big winner outback steakhouse it's been a great week to be outback because we were recently talking about their what a hit they are in brazil um cracker barrel and longhorn steakhouse and texas roadhouse are also in the top whatever um this year we're seeing customer satisfaction return to pre-pandemic levels for furls for full service dining while fast food outlets have rebounded to within a point of their 2019 score said acsi director of research emeritus forest morgeson in a press release did we have to get the research director emeritus emeritus to weigh in on this like forest is like i'm retired most of the year down to boca raton but i come out of retirement once a year to lend my name to the press release about satisfaction of jimmy johns has ben whaley weighed in on this yeah director of research emeritus like there what about the person who's currently the director of research why does why does forrest have to big dog him on the one cool day to be the director of research at the acsi maybe they never replaced forrest um so what what do you think his what do you think his role as director of research emeritus is you think he's getting in there exactly this it's exactly this right yeah but what was the negotiation when he was gonna oh oh i see what you're saying like like he was like okay i'm ready to retire but i want to hang on to i want to be able to put my name on the press release when we're talking

about jimmy johns and chick-fil-a what if it was the opposite of that what if he said listen i've put in my time it's time for me to go enjoy what's the place they go at the end of the shawshank redemption ziwantanejo he wants to go to ziwantanejo and he's like and that boat boats to sand and they say but we're up for this award like you know we're probably going to get this and we're going to get the what did you say the loser

site um plaque or whatever it is um and we're gonna need you to weigh in he's like i don't know man i gotta go sand a boat and so they negotiated like i i see the negotiations happening the other way like who are we going to get for a quote on this if it's not you uh forest morgensern who

crawled through a mile of shit forest came out clean on the other side how was that pretty good

pretty good i said i was laughing at my own jokes i said forest was here but that's a really dark

that's a little dark is it a little dark red was here a little dark uh i think that movie does that movie hold up i haven't watched it in forever but i gotta tell you so when i saw it i was i have to

say i was pretty blown away yeah yeah i haven't watched i mean that's the type of movie i don't do a lot of tv watching in this manner these days but like that is definitely the type of movie that Like, if it comes on, it stays on, right? Like, that's a very casual movie.

You can just have a DVD player. Oh, yeah, that's right. By the way, my record player just showed up while we were doing the show. Oh, wow. Very exciting. It is exciting. I think Stephen King really benefits from someone else being in charge of the movie version of his books.

Oh, God, yeah. Oh, hell yeah. You know what I mean? I mean, we've talked about, what was the... The Shining. He didn't remake it, but he... I think you mean The Shinning. The Shinning. I don't know that he I think he had like an advice oh yeah he was mad about it well he didn't like the original one he thought it was too far away from the book if I remember that correctly and that they didn't make

because the hedge monsters didn't come to life

and because Tony like was supposed to be more like is corporeal the right word I keep asking you that yes have a body to have a body yeah and like that wasn't the vision seen out under Kubrick so there was a really cheesy made for TV version yeah starring Steven Weber Steven Weber indeed And I think Stephen King was like, now they got it right.

It's so bad. I've watched it. And The Shining, as it was sort of created by Kubrick, is so good. Yeah, of course. So incredibly good as a film. By the way, I saw some photos the other day, I might have mentioned this on the show, of the twins out of context.

Oh, yeah, yeah. We did talk about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was the weirdest thing. To see them just laughing on the set, ready to go for their take. but like they're like 12 year old twins you know they're like cool we're on a movie shoot this is fun um and uh it was that was an interesting thing anyway yeah i think like steven we probably have some big stephen king heads out there but like has anybody sold more has any well that's not i know the answer to that question and the answer is yes there are other people who are much worse at writing than stephen king who have sold more books being good at writing to me is not necessarily a prerequisite for selling a lot of books but i do think stephen king is in this weird world of being this massively successful and beloved writer who does do some cool things but then always seems to get some part of it a little bit wrong what was the book or the show where he was trying to talk jive or something like oh that i was telling you about well genevieve was talking

about one of his newer books because she kind of has a lot of i mean she's like both like a critic of but a very loyal reader of Stephen King like she'll read the new stuff and then sort of because every now and then like he wrote some like short story or novella that he teamed up with somebody I'm gonna say about I don't know eight nine ten years ago and it was like some story that took place just in a field and it was like very it was like more like more back to his roots of just like it was just good compelling storytelling with a lot of air of mystery and the kind of the kind of scary that just like sort of it doesn't it doesn't it's not a jump scare thing it just like kind of sits on you and you get your the hair on your arms goes up just like during the reading of the whole thing and like he's got that like that's why I struggle to say like I don't I think sometimes he writes bad stuff is he a bad writer I'm not sure I think that right there are times he's a really good storyteller and I mean then you get into like storytelling versus writing like I would say like he has shown himself to be an amazing storyteller and an amazing story inventor by the way you know there's a difference there too to come up with some of the stuff that he has come up with unfortunately it gets worse as he gets older i was telling you a while back i can't remember what book i was reading that was like kind of the newer era of him uh and he was like talking about a webcam like it was something for the future he was so excited about it and like listen he's an older guy people on this show or people who listen to this show have heard you and i talk about technology from an old person's perspective for a while and so like i'm not trying to throw stones here but it was like you really got the impression that in 2011 stephen king's niece came over and showed him her webcam her vodcast and and he was amazed by it and so we worked it into a story in a way that i was like dude it's a webcam like you're it's all good anyway um yeah so i don't know i think stephen king is complicated because i think he's actually

written some really good stuff i don't want to i don't want to be out here and just say stephen king is a bad writer but i would say that stephen king has written some shit and stephen king has also contributed vastly to some of the greatest horror stories of our time so what are you going

to do there and also the book that he wrote about writing i believe it might even be called on writing is phenomenal like if you're interested in writing uh what i would recommend his book about writing it's really really good um so uh anyway that's what we have to say about that

here i go once again with the email every week i hope that it's from a female oh man

it's not from a female emails of emails yeah i had a female that i wanted to play for you what was it

oh this one from marissa hey guys it's marissa in maryland so my little one avi graduated from kindergarten uh this month and at his kindergarten graduation ceremony they sang that song from toy story like you've got a friend in me it's a bunch of five-year-olds and six-year-olds like tunelessly chanting this song but i did take video of the ceremony and put it on youtube as a super super private video that i could it was unlisted you know i only sent the link to you know my parents and my aunts and my sister. And, yeah, I got a copyright claim from, you know, excuse me, or whatever.

That was fun.

At least they didn't take the video down. Okay, good luck on TBCL Independence Day. Power out.

And that's kind of the experience we've had. First of all, Marissa, please send us the tape.

Oh, yeah, we should hear that.

I want to hear a bunch of kids chanting, you've got a friend in me.

that sounded like it didn't don't you have some tape of mcconaughey saying that

you got a friend and god you got when you got when you got a friend when you got god you got a friend and that friend is you still doesn't hold on i'm gonna sorry i'm gonna we're gonna i'm gonna need to find that now we're gonna need to get that out of our system let's see mcconaughey mcconaugod here we go this is the full i'm gonna give you the god it's literally called makana god in here it's 31 seconds i hope this is what we're looking for first off i want

to thank god because that's who i look up to he's great that is weird look do we look is that what

we're supposed to do with god is look up to god i mean depending on the religious worldview that you embrace i think that's in some of them like but i mean i don't mean like look up to the heavens i mean are we looking up to god as like a role model i guess so kind of a father figure

that i know are not of my hand or any other human hand um he has shown me that uh it's a scientific fact that gratitude reciprocates um in the words of the late charlie lawton who said when you got god you got a friend and that friend is you what the hell are you talking about whoa you know that's

something that i never thought about before i don't think i realized that he does he get that quote right because like we've been making fun of mccarney lotton because right because like

does that make any sense at all hold on who said when you got god you got a friend and that friend is you when you have god you have a friend and the friend is you what does that what are the

implications of that god lives and you so i'm looking this up so i'm on an article called mcconaughey's confounding speech at the oscars i'm trying to figure this out um let's see time magazine was on the beat. He quotes Laughlin. Was it Laughlin? Lawton. I want to figure out if Lawton actually said this. Has Lawton weighed in on this? No.

I've got a few other. Let's keep going down this road. I have something called Makana Mom Respect Selves.

To my mother who's here tonight who Tommy and my two older brothers demanded that we respect ourselves and what we in turn learned was then we were better able to respect

others thank you for that mama i um knew people who went to the university of texas at austin when mcconaughey was there and what he was famous for was getting extremely drunk and then peeing in the bar like openly urinating in the place where everyone else was just trying to have their

beers that reminds me of something else that i've been meaning to tell you about something that i

When you got a toilet, it's anywhere you want it, and that toilet is here.

Luke, I live on a corner lot. You know this. You've been here before, right? So I have kind of a vantage point, obviously, of two roads where they intersect. And one of the roads, the one that leads towards the main stretch of Aurora Avenue, is slightly downhill towards Aurora Avenue. and in

my kitchen we have a nice big window where i'm puttering around and i'm constantly seeing people walk up and down uh and kind of through this little intersection then as a traffic circle usually walking dogs going on a walk with their family or friends it's actually quite nice there's a lot of foot traffic and i like it um and also you know the occasional person who's like really down on their luck or out of their minds the occasional prostitute who i saw the other day and i waved to but it didn't want to say like i'm trying to really perfect the wave because there's

a lot of that also says i'm not a potential customer just it's like i see you as a person

but i'm also like i'm still driving here like i'm in a relationship i'm working on that wave the wave that says i see you as a person but i'm in a relationship um were you not in a relationship you know then you yeah then there's katie bar the door it's a different it's a different wave but anyway so all kinds of people kind of walk by what i had never seen before in my life is what i saw on Friday night. Genevieve had gone out to the Eagles Club. I had the house to myself, like pure puttering. I made myself some bruschetta, Luke. Do we say bruschetta? Depends on the mood I'm in. I was puttering around, listening to old-timey radio or whatever, and then I look up, and out of my big, you know, kind of kitchen window, I see somebody. I can't quite see his feet, because my head just cut that down, or kind of cut off that vantage point, but he's going down the hill clearly on one of those little scooters probably with the big wheel like the one big wheel and no handlebars you know the bc kind of like scooter thing and he was a person at first i thought he was a child uh i thought he was like kind of like a 12 year old kid or something but i don't think he was an adult man but he was like wearing you know like a button-down shirt and shorts but like a kind of a nice weekend button-down shirt like he was going to go to a barbecue or something like that and all i see is and his back is kind of towards me as he comes down this road but he's riding this thing speeding down the street peeing big arc coming away from me like literally literally like one of those kelvin peeing on a chevy symbol on the back of your neighbor's truck i would love if he had a bumper sticker of kelvin peeing on a four-wheeled vehicle it was luke it was i also this is this is what i'm trying to figure out is why did it make me so mad it made me so mad now listen we live in a society we this is a public space you're literally pissing on my neighborhood as you zoom down on your little go-kart or whatever like maybe there's some of that in there it was just appalling to see but i'd be lying if i told you that there weren't times in my life that i had to like you know sneak somewhere into a corner of a public place like there have been plenty of times where i'm leaving one of my haunts in ballard and i'm like okay before i get on the bus i need to like you sneak behind this dumpster or whatever and i'm sure if the people who lived in that apartment building peeped out their window and saw me they'd be pretty disgusted by that i but at least i'm there's something though there's

something more aggressive about being on a one wheel scootery thing just spraying the neighborhood like there's something weirdly aggressive about that move that i don't think is the same as ducking off into a corner to you know take the call of nature and my my vantage point was sort

of strange so he's on the right hand side of the road but his back is sort of to me so i'm not you know i'm not and it also happened very quickly but like i had to do a double take i'm like wait is that at first i thought it was a kid with like a a water bottle making a joke or something and that his other friends would i think there might be a school or something around here because sometimes like teenagers walk up and down too but um i was like waiting for another friend to be behind him laughing or something until he got closer i'm like no that's an adult man and that man is just like kind of spraying his his his urine all over my neighborhood like he's marking his pro his territory and it also i feel like some of that's got to be going back on his pants it seemed weird i was surprised again it would happen so quickly but i was kind of surprised at the integrity of the stream to be honest with you like while while moving that it wasn't just

like kind of like praying upset but impressed i mean i guess you gotta you gotta give him credit as my old you gotta give it to him you gotta just have to give it to him so yeah i've been sitting

on a lot of stories i've been meaning to tell you that's a great story that is a really amazing

story would it piss you off i mean to use that phrase but like it it made me irrationally angry i was like if i was outside i would have wanted to throw something at him um but then i was like i had to think about it later and i was like well why is it making me so angry it's one of those

things that it's not really a huge deal in fact i was just reading about how on the space station the international space station because you know water is really a hassle to bring up there they have a toilet that they pee into that then recycles the urine and and basically like cleans it and they get back something like 98 of the water from

their urine meaning that the urine is only three percent stuff you kind of don't like and the rest of it is just water you could literally drink so it's not like urine is actually not the grossest thing but it's still that it just feels like a a real affront it's been a half hour and i have not

heard back from my mystery texter now don't you think that you would at least be like right back lol sorry or oops or something like that or what's your credit card number uh-huh well um i'm very

curious to hear on tomorrow's show what happens with that because, yeah, either it's a scam and then they would be Johnny on the spot, or it's not a scam and they would be like, oh, sorry, I sent this picture of a $10,000 bottle of champagne to the wrong person. Either way, I'm expecting

a response. We'll see. So far it's been a half hour. If I didn't get a response right away, I'm not holding my breath. But I will let you know tomorrow if I hear anything. I'll make this the show pick today, I think.
