So I thought that maybe you could think about next Thursday night if that's good for you. I can get tickets to nonsense because I really want to see that before I die. It's their nuns and they sing and there's a lot of improv.

TBTL!

I'm just trying to figure out why you would do this, why anyone would do this. The reason anyone would do this, if they could, which they can't, would be because they could. which they can't.

That was a joke. Humor is the tool of the interesting. Warning, do not confuse any lightheartedness in the following video with a glib attitude toward the problem at hand.

He was telling me how he's the Jesse James of rock and roll.

And then, right in the middle of a sentence, bonk, a coconut fell on his head.

Hey, look here, why don't we eat us a few thousand beers and you tell me what's buzzing in the big bad city.

Well, all right. Hello, good morning, and welcome, everyone, to a Wednesday edition of TVTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live. Explaining how a show works means the show's already in trouble. My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host. It's that woo-woo! Coming to you from the Hollywood Broadcast Center right here in beautiful Portland, Oregon, where it is, in fact, a beautiful morning.

Oh, ma, pa, it's just beautiful.

Well, absolutely. Bluebird skies. Let's see the temperature. Well, inside it's probably about 72 degrees. Outside it's probably about 73 degrees. So we've climate controlled this episode, which is 3,976 in a collector's series.

Let the fun begin.

And we do have some updates on some of the tech side of the program, including how you're getting this show. If you're hearing it, it means something worked.

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

So we will www.explainthat coming up. And also the story of some of the folks who are being used as sort of human pawns in an attempt to sort of own the libs. I'm talking about folks who came into Texas without paperwork and who were then shipped to Martha's Vineyard. And it turns out, for some of them anyway, that's a pretty sweet-ass place to live. What a fun, sexy time for you. We will update you on that. And then also a mini-mart worker tried to steal the $3 million winning lotto ticket from a person who had purchased it. And honestly, like, when you hear me say that, you think I'm definitely siding with the person who bought the ticket? I'm kind of not there's so much going on in this story that we must get to and unpack so we'll do that with the help of this young man he's a he's a handsome young stranger he's a soulful rocker from New Hampshire he's also the longest running co-bro of the program best known for his depictions of the tall ships their grace their splendor and all that intricate

rigging that's a tuna bro

that's an Andrew Walsh my bros and he's joining us right now Good morning, my friend. Good morning, Luke.

I already pre-apologized to you and warned you, and I'm pre-apologizing to the listeners and warning them that what I'm about to say isn't super interesting but super important.

Finally. Are you ready for this? Mostly what we say is super interesting but not super important. And we're finally flipping the script, or as I like to call it, fripping the script.

Fripping the script is exactly what we're doing here Here's what I want to let people know And I'm a little bit, it turns out I might be a little bit late with this message Peace and love, peace and love But as we continue this transition away from American public media As we relaunch as an independent podcast This coming Monday when our TB Telethon begins

The separation will only become official when they get that Lenovo from me

The one with the keys that don't stay in it anymore? Is that literally the one you still have?

That's literally the one that I found recently in a storage locker in Bellingham, Washington. And then was our direct supervisor for two more days was like, do you have any computers from APM? I was like, yes, I do. I'll happily charge you more than the computer's worth to send this back to St. Paul.

You know, that's actually a good point with that thing. I almost wonder if they don't even, well, whatever, it doesn't cost that much to ship something. But I almost wonder if the IT department, I mean, they're not going to do anything with that computer that you have. It literally is physically broken. I mean, I guess it works. You can turn it on, but it's missing keys. They're not going to refurbish that thing from eight years ago.

go and give it to another employee if this were a um who was the guy a robert altman if this were a robert altman film we would follow the life of this computer this lenovo that's going to just be packaged up by you and me and by you and me i mean you and then sent to saint paul and then put on a shelf and then collect dust over the next 20 to 30 years until there's another pandemic and for some reason the uh like the people who survived the pandemic break into sorry the cat is climbing on that thing somebody breaks into seventh and cedar and then finds this old weird box on a shelf somewhere covered in dust and opens it and goes now i can podcast i've stolen i've i've i've re-reclaimed the lenovo computer they made luke send back but then for some reason the second

half of the movie is just like a really muddy amateur football game with a lot of shenanigans, cheating, and hijinks for some reason. And you're like, am I watching the same movie? Does this play into the plot?

Do you know what I'm talking about? And it was like, no, all they had was VHS tapes. In that future, they had to overdub other things. Wait, what's the muddy football reference? That's how MASH ends, if I remember.

What? The movie, the Altman movie. Yeah, I could be sort of misremembering this, but I saw M.A.S.H., the Altman movie. That's who you referenced, right? You said this was like, oh, yeah.

I was thinking more Shortcuts by Robert Altman, but you were going more M.A.S.H. by Robert Altman.

Well, that's just something that's a fair reference. I still haven't gotten to the boring part of the show yet. We've got to start with the boring parts. But to complete this thought, I have not watched M.A.S.H. in a really long time. And like a lot of people of my age, I assume, I think I might have been surprised to know at some point that it was a movie before it was a TV show. And then maybe once I started paying attention to directors, Maybe I remember, oh, that's an Altman film? That's interesting. So, and, you know, I liked his stuff. I liked that it didn't always follow the same kind of format of a lot of Hollywood films. And so I remember watching that in my, you know, my crappy little apartment, my studio apartment in Kent, probably, like, slurping down a half rack of Natty Ice or something while watching that thing on my van seat that I use as a couch. And, like, kind of liking it and being like, okay, the tempo on this movie is interesting. and, you know, different actors portraying the various parts than the TV show. But, you know, I'm into it. And then my memory is, and I could be totally wrong about this. It's been decades. But I feel like then there's just this extended football game between them and some rival team, and it just goes on forever. Like, whatever intrigue or whatever narrative arc we were dealing with just sort of handed itself over to a football game where people are hiding the football in their shirts and running around. Does this ring a bell to you? Have you seen that film?

I haven't because as we've talked about on the show, I found the entire enterprise of MASH to be very, very scary as a kid. Between the song Suicide is Painless and the helicopters coming over what we were led to believe were the hills of Korea but turned out to be the hills of Calabasas, California. I did the whole thing. I never to this day I don't believe mash is a comedy yeah uh and I'll fight anyone who says

it is show um yeah I mean it's the tv show I mean I think it's a complicated show I think that's what made it so good right that it's it is very serious I mean it is stronger stomach for these

things than I do all I heard was and I was like no thank you we rarely get to watch tv in this burbank household i'm not wasting it on this sad sack shit well yeah i mean as a kid i can i

understand you uh having that reaction because i mean they dealt with some really serious stuff and like i've i've told you this before too that like i i never saw the last episode i didn't know that there was like a really kind of horrifying story somebody tells about a chicken have you talked i don't want to even talk about it but let me put it this way i'm just going to be honest here about drug use for a second years ago i was on vacation with genevieve hot lips was high as hell and i was on some if i could remember the net ass you high huh come on you said you weren't gonna play that today you literally said before the show you weren't gonna play that today i was gonna play it in your intro i did not say i wasn't gonna play it ever read the fine print i guess um

i was on psilocybin so it's it sounds better when you say that legally available here in the state

of oregon by the way and i don't like when i was like maybe in college i'd experiment with that stuff more and i kind of liked the feeling of it but i've gotten to a to an age and this is a while back this story i'm telling you like i just i didn't like it it gives me too much of a racy feeling um like too it makes me too it increases my anxiety and so i i don't mess around with mushrooms um

Um, but this might've been the last time that I ate some and I, you know, I don't think I was, I don't think I consumed a grand amount, but enough to get on top of me. And I remember going down to the beach with Genevieve and trying to like, kind of have a bit of a, a chill out, you know, and I'm not like freaking out. I'm not like, you know, whatever. Nobody would know that I was feeling uncomfortable to look at me, I think, but I'm just kind of in my head a bit, not feeling great, feeling very anxious, regretting having taken these things. So Vives and I, but we're in a beautiful place. So we're down by the beach. We're sitting at night, kind of letting the water kind of reach our feet or whatever. Kind of a nice situation. But then it starts to get on top of me again. And so we go back to the condo. And then for some reason, while we're in the living room, she starts telling me the story of the last episode of MASH. And for people who know or just like one part of it, and it's somebody telling a story. I guess I'm just going to tell it here as I understand it. I've never seen it. But it's as dark as it can. Dead ass you high, huh? Okay, stop that. It's about as dark as you can get. This is, like, seriously really dark. But, like, I guess there's somebody who is really, really upset as they're retelling a story about taking a chicken on a bus. This is very serious. It's about taking a chicken on a very crowded bus as they're trying to escape some sort of horror. Okay? They're trying to they're they're trying to like escape somebody who's trying to get them and the chicken keeps making noise and is going to give up their location. So they end up killing the chicken. Oh, no, Luke. No, no, no. It's worse. That's the that's the fine part. That's the good part. That's the fine part. The horrifying part is this person as they're recounting the story is super, super upset because then they start breaking down and saying it wasn't a chicken. It was a child. Oh, shit. Luke. Yeah. How does that hit you? I'm not even high on mushrooms right now, and I'm upset. So here's my point. If Genevieve ever says, if anybody in our listening audience is dealing with a drug situation, and Genevieve says, hey, how about I tell you a story to calm you down? Walk away from that woman. Walk away from that woman.

You're saying this time I met the Eagles as now a sworn member of the Mother Aerie, Aerie No. 1. If Veve leans over and says, have I ever told you about the end of the Robert Altman film match?

That's not the film. That's the last episode of the TV show. Of the TV show. That's the TV show. That's what my whole point is. If you felt like the opening of that show was a little scary and dark, I'm telling you, it dealt with some pretty dark topics. And by the way, for those who actually have seen that episode and know, like, I'm recounting something that was told to me about 20 years ago or 15 years ago while on Mushrooms. I've never seen the episode, so I'm sure I got a lot of that wrong.

Andrew, I'm dealing with a situation that's almost on that same level in terms of just darkness, which is I bought this record player from Japan and it doesn't work.

I really need to tell people something important about their podcast. Oh, yeah. Sorry. This is a little bit dry and boring, but I need people to understand this. So as we make this transition away from American public media, we physically or whatever had to change our RSS feed. The RSS feed is how your podcast appears in your podcast app every day. For a lot of people, there has been no interruption in service. But for some people today, this morning, they look down at their phone and they either got hundreds of notifications or literally hundreds of downloads of like kind of new shows. They're actually old episodes of TBTL that may be repopulating your phone right now. If this has happened to you already, you should be able to sort of just mass delete them. if it hasn't happened to you and you're worried about it happening to you and you losing space on your phone you can go into the podcast app and turn off automatic downloads for tbtl uh you'll still get notifications of new shows it just won't automatically download the mp3 to your um phone so this is sort of already happening i'm telling you about it a little bit too late my apologies for that but here is the big thing which i'm going to be i'm going to be clanging this bell for the next couple of weeks right now we have limited the number of shows to about 350 so if you are if your phone is blowing up it shouldn't go any higher than 350 new notifications however in a couple of weeks we are going to make the entire back catalog of tbtl available via the rss stream this includes the long lost hour number threes of the old radio show they're all in there But that means there are more than 4,000 episodes because those early episodes were broken up into three pieces. We're talking about opening up. This is special. This is special. We're talking about opening up something like 4,500 shows in your podcast feed. And that means.

Wait, we already did 4,000, so we don't have to do the thing on July 29th?

Well, that's the pickle because, I mean, we could get out of it, I guess, just take the money and run. But it's because the first episodes, you know, your first.

First episodes were in three parts for a couple of years. So anyway, point is, in a couple of weeks, when I flip that switch, I don't want people to get thousands and thousands of episodes downloaded to their phone. So keep an eye out for that and maybe turn off automatic downloads on your phone if this is something that you're concerned about. I'll remind you a couple of times, I'm going to make this switch after the TV telethon so that we don't accidentally lose a whole bunch of listeners who are mad at us for clogging up their phone. So hopefully this goes okay. email me at andrew at tbtail.net if you have any issues or follow-ups and also you know i was

talking to a friend of the program yesterday lin fam oh yeah i know him and we were discussing the thing that i've already said to you andrew over the weeks over the most recent weeks of the show but it was reiterated to me and it was it made an impression lin was saying and lin is a very very tech savvy person and he was saying like i can't believe andrew is able to do this stuff that he's been doing and i was saying yeah like this person's job you you're the person in this

story yes 100 i mean like i could make a joke here about like what do you mean you thought i

couldn't do it but actually that means a lot no because i'm learning a lot the technical side of what you're doing for the show is remarkable and then when you combine it with the fact that your other main job is to be funny and interesting and like, these are different. Generally speaking, these are different parts of the human brain and you're bringing both lobes really to bear on this. And I just want to say, thanks, man. Like this is some complex shit you're working through.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Yeah. These, I was going to tell you, we're going to talk about this off the air. I need to carve out. I need to carve out some time to take off after the thought. I'm not even joking. Like I was up until 1230 doing work yesterday before I had my handy time. So I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm a martyr. Like I like doing this. It's been it's been a rush, man. I mean, I was talking to you before the show. I sounded like I was on some other kind of drugs. I'm all I'm all amped up about this stuff. I want it to go well. So far, it seems like things are going well. But also, like later on, I need to like kind of start writing fundraiser emails and stuff. I'm just like, wow, I could really use a break at some point. Not that my job is overly hard. But anyway, put that on your calendar. I don't want to abandon the listeners right after the thon, though.

I think what is especially hard, though, about your job right now is that you – again, your brain is being asked to do two wildly different things. One of them is just deep in the kind of like metadata of the show, getting – talking to people at Libsyn, interfacing with folks at APM, fixing the DNS code on the website, all of that stuff. And then also, hey, Andrew, how are you? And then you have to be like delightful. That's a lot for one person to do. So thanks for doing all that, man.

Yeah, no, I appreciate that. And again, I appreciate those words from Lynn, too. I felt a bond with Lynn because, of course, Lynn knows this stuff, like the Internet stuff.

Do you know Lynn built a scraper for Mastodon that somehow reposts the show?

I do. I haven't logged into Mastodon for a while, but when I was on there a lot.

This is one of the other things we were talking about yesterday.

Yeah, every day on Mastodon, you get an update when a new show is posted. I know Lynn really knows this stuff And I have no idea, it's a different language to me When we were talking about DNS stuff But then Lynn sent me a little meme of a shirt That says it's the DNS or something And I guess it's kind of maybe like a computer person joke Because it's a pain in the ass for everybody And I don't, I'm so out of the loop I don't even quite get the joke Other than I just felt, I just felt like a brotherhood I'm like, do I, do I deserve this meme?

I don't know if I deserve this meme I felt like an adjacent brotherhood yesterday When Lynn and I were talking because he was like, again, getting into some of the deets on what you're doing, and I was like, yeah, yeah. I had nothing to do with that, but I like knowing Andrew. I like being friends with Andrew, who's able to figure that shit out.

Well, you're the one, I mean, you are the one who realized that DNS stands for domain not suite, I believe. Right, exactly. Right, so I didn't know that before I met you, so we're all learning.

Hey, what do you know about fixing Japanese record players?

Okay, yeah, so now, sorry to cut you off on that before. I need to get that out there, yeah. You're dealing with the more important business of the show. You talked about getting this record player. It was kind of an Instagram or Instagram-esque buy from you, right?

Well, what happened was I was buying records from this thing called Cold Busted. And then, so I was buying like vinyl albums from this place. And then at one point, I saw another ad for them. And it wasn't the vinyl album that I was compelled to look at. It was the actual record player that was playing the vinyl album. And I found that record player on eBay from Japan Bought it, it was delivered yesterday I opened it this morning, I unboxed it this morning By the way, how sad is it that my mind thinks about content in this way That when I was just opening this thing, I was like, I should be filming this Like, this is an unboxing

I mean, I don't know, is your brain broken or is

mine because i don't think of that or because i or because i think of it and i don't want to do it yours is healthier that's like the healthy response is hey i bought a thing from japan i'm gonna just like enjoy it i'm gonna open the box i'm gonna look at it my thought is are we missing

a hey dummies opportunity here no but i mean the thing is i mean we do have to do hey dummies videos like i i don't think like honestly i think you're better at thinking of that now if you just want to unbox it because like and again no shame on people who do this but like i'm definitely not interested in just like unboxing something for instagram for my own personal brand or whatever but here on tbtl we have a video hole that we need to fill so i should be much better at thinking of stuff like that so so wednesday doesn't roll around and i'm just like what am i gonna record

about well i'm glad that i wasn't filming this for tbtl purposes because what has happened andrew is i cannot get it to make sound and all of the directions every knob on the thing is in japanese so i don't even know what's like louder quieter like it's a extremely japanese forward device

did you send me a picture of this yet i should take a look at my i left my cell phone in the

other room so i actually can't take a picture have you um checked the dns on it i the do not not Suntory. Yeah.

100%. Oh, we're getting closer and closer. That's good. Definitely have Lynn take a look at that, baby. I am interested in what it looks like.

I can get the record to move. So it's not that it's not getting power. It's getting power. Again, I'm trying to channel my inner Andrew. I'm trying to problem solve this.

Yeah, that's good. So it's getting power and the motor works.

It's spinning, but one problem is the stylus. I'm going to bring this over

Does the stylus have a cover on it? Have you pulled off the needle cover?

That's a really, really great question And yes it does Is it possible they sent me two styluses?

Oh, there's a chance That you have to install it

Yeah, but I can't I'm trying to figure out I'm trying to figure out how to install it And I cannot click this other stylus on So when I put the when i'm sorry i'm putting the um what do you call the um the arm is it would be the arm yeah i think it's the arm when i put the arm over the record starts spinning so that's a win um but i cannot get this stylus which i'm holding in my little hand to click onto the arm and also i'm wondering if this is a stylus for a certain kind of record if like basically the if there's a needle that's already pre-installed okay there's definitely not a needle that's pre-installed Because the record is spinning

Oh, okay, so you need a needle on that I see So now you know I was going to ask Is there any chance you're using a John Cage record to test this? Because don't do that That is a classic rookie mistake

That'll happen Well, I'm about four minutes in Nothing's happening

When you get to that 30 second mark Let me know Four minutes and 30 seconds

It also turns out that A pink vinyl album spinning on a Japanese record player Is catnip to this stupid cat of mine

Oh, to a cat, yeah

she is climbing all over the record player and me um anyway i'm gonna bring this to our um are we calling it an undisclosed location are we disclosing the location no we've disclosed the location many times where we're broadcasting from we're not staying at my parents oh i see you're

gonna bring oh well we're just staying nearby yeah we're just staying near your parents place but um yeah okay i thought you were gonna bring it for the show but um oh maybe you know well that's you always thinking about content i will tell folks that this is not something that's happening for this tb telethon so maybe i shouldn't even pitch this idea now but i can't remember if we've talked about this on the show before but i felt like i either had an idea or remembered an idea the other night that i ran by genevieve i think for some tb telethon in the future maybe a year from now we do a special episode of tbtl that we only release on vinyl yes and maybe i've been thinking sell it to martin shkreli you know does wu-tang rule anything uh no they don't i've lost that drop you know what a city state a out of appreciation to you my friend andrew who's

making the next phase of tbtl happen a tri-state area do not rue the world they do not rule the

world or even rue the world um that was share singing that drop right on the in the long secreted uh wu-tang record that only one person had but wouldn't that be fun if you and i recorded you know like that would be amazing you know like and it would have to have a break like 30 minutes on one side 30 minutes on the other side we get that thing print i have no idea whether or not that would um be feasible from a cost you know like i don't know what how high the donation would have to be to justify the cost of the printing but um that could be pretty cool that would be

sorry i'm still trying to fix this Thank you.

record player that would be amazing people would absolutely love that including cats even cats that i live with who are as long as we put it out on pink vinyl that hey that would be really cool

man yeah uh i like that in fact yeah i mean we can i mean it's a whole new world luke we're on our own schedule now we could do this as we're about to be we're about well we're about to be

we still have two more days okay i have a real question for you uh which maybe let's see 20 we're about 25 or so minutes into the show maybe after this short break i will i will ask you a question This is a real question about the last two days of our time at 8 p.m.

Okay.

Okay, right after this. Hello, and welcome to Top Story. First of all, can you hear this record playing in the background?

Wait, I hear the cat meowing.

Sorry.

I hear, I think, a motor maybe. I don't think listeners would be able to hear it, but I'm... yeah that sounds bad man yeah it's not you're gonna ruin your record this is the problem with

the it's the deli by cold busted it's the the whole idea don't don't don't be testing this record i'm gonna play it on my cool japanese record player and i'm it's gonna feel like enough

don't you have like an old annie soundtrack or something that you can be experimenting with what am i jay-z before i actually have i actually have that you know the first time i heard that sample of a hard knock life i didn't realize it was in a rap song and i because i always liked that song and i have the annie vinyl i've had it since i was a kid and i that's like the only song i really like off of the original um broadway musical soundtrack and one day this is years ago whenever that song was kind of new i heard somebody blasting hard knock life from their stereo and i thought it was the i was like i can't believe somebody's just like blasting that with so much bass and it turns out it was a jay-z song it was sean carter sorry yes yes mr carter

if you will um anyway wait what was i going to say before the break you said that you have two

questions about our future with apm or our last two days oh yes have you done an exit interview

with hr i have not here's what happened requested of me yes but with a emoji saying if you want to and i don't want to see that i got like what are the consequences if we don't do our exit

interview with hr i got two different i got i got a note from somebody in hr who said hey listen i'm writing to schedule our uh to schedule a meeting time so we can do the exit interview and also another person from hr will be following up with an optional survey you can take and i kind of thought that was uh obviously all of this is optional what are you gonna do right fire me um but for what I and so I was like okay well I'll fill out I you know I I sat on that for a while but then the other day I realized oh I have a question about my monies and so see that was how

this whole conversation started for me I was like the one time I respond to our direct supervisor I was like what do I need to do to get paid out for my vacation that's exactly so I realized like

I need to respond because I now have a direct line and I want to ask about my monies and I went online and i saw like that i should be paid out pretty directly but i just wanted to make sure and so i wrote like hey i'm sorry i don't have and i legitimately do not have time to sit down with somebody in a meeting this week like we are crazy previous comments yes brains and so that was true and i said i'll try to fill out the um the questionnaire later and i will try to i don't know if i it can't be a priority for me right now but i just politely uh directly declined and uh and

said but i will get my money right and they said yes oh nice okay so uh then i'm gonna not do it okay good yeah although that would be interesting well i mean and also our direct supervisor wanted to do an exit interview with me as well in addition to the one from hr are you serious i

didn't get i'm being very serious beth well maybe i saw beth when she was in that what can i do we had a really nice dinner the other night when she happened to be in town with the brains on crew so maybe that counted as an exit interview i don't know maybe so because yeah i mean and again it

wasn't hr who did the if you want to and then laughy emoji it was our supervisor beth saying if you like she was like you need to do you probably need to do an exit interview with hr and also with me if you want to laughy cry emoji i oh it was beth who gave you the laughy

cry emoji not yes not hr i think there'll be an hr violation that makes so much more sense because I was like, why are these people in the HR department who we don't know personally so chummy with you? I see. Beth put that in there because Beth knows that you're, I mean, we barely go to the meetings.

Although we are tomorrow going to some kind of sort of fiesta for us. What's happening tomorrow?

Okay, yeah. Let's get clear on this. They are not throwing a fiesta for us at 8 p.m. Is it a quinceañera? It certainly is. You better have your dress.

Thank you.

I, no, tomorrow is the usual monthly departmental meeting. Have you not been going to those? I've been to a lot of them, but I usually do camera off. I see. Gotcha. You don't see that I'm there. Yes, and you change your name to James Napoli. Gotcha. Anyway, these are departmental check-ins. I usually have attended them. They're only on their, you know, whatever, Thursday of every month. And it just happens to be that this one is falling the day before our last day. So one of our bosses reached out to say, hey, can you guys try to make this meeting so at least the gang can say goodbye to us? So that's all it is. It's not a party. It's not a celebration of us or TBTL. It's just a nice little toodaloo.

All right. I mean, do we have to say anything? What are you planning on? No joke, I was rehearsing this in my mind last night, figuring out what I was going to say to our colleagues at APM, A place that has been very good to us, but that we have been only minimally engaged with, or at least I have only been minimally engaged with.

You know, that's smart of you to be thinking ahead to that. And again, this is the difference in our personalities. I just like I would probably just find myself flat footed. And now I will think about it, although I will say I've been so engaged with a lot of folks at APM. Right. That's why you don't have to rehearse it. I don't think I have to rehearse it. Yeah. And it's just and again, I've said this on the show and I mean this with all earnestness. Like the folks I've been working with these past couple of months as we make this transition have been really, really amazing. And it has been a good reminder of why APM is a great place. So I don't know. Maybe I'll say that, Luke. Maybe I'll just play this podcast for them.

Again, this is the difference between what's going on for you and me. You don't have to, like, come up with – you're not the dad who went out for smokes and it's eight years later and you're trying to figure out how to, like, be cool to your now grown kids who have a stepdad named Steve.

Did you get me a Hess truck at the gas station, though, that I can play with?

You've actually been going to these meetings. You've been emailing with and working with our colleagues there. So, like, you don't have to overthink this because you've been living the life. I do have to overthink it because I'm coming back from getting a pack of smokes.

You say that, but also I'll probably say something that is – I do this show with you every day. Sometimes I have regrets about the things I said. Sometimes I have regrets about the fact that I just tried to stifle a burp, which everybody heard. let's let's let's not pretend that we didn't all notice that um but you know for the most part i can still navigate my life after posting a show to tens if not hundreds of people every day um but then i get on a zoom meeting and i start my voice starts quaking and shaking my knees were shaking uh my feet were shaking my wags were shaking the shiny guy is always nervous um and so i probably will end up saying something really stupid and i'll choke on my words and it will be a huge embarrassment and then we can talk about it on monday my time was shaking my head was shaking my arms were shaking my legs my feet too my feet too well um that kid's graduating college probably this oh that kid has a phd from vassar that's so old now is that original tbtl tape or is that

grabbed from like a viral video of some sort i believe it's a well it it was a we didn't like it's not a listener's kid okay that's what but it also it's not from the era of tick tock yeah right no i knew it was old that goes back to the radio days like real in quotes but also not a thing that we created but it wasn't more real than something i would have just pulled off of tick tock yesterday sure yeah yeah yeah okay i'm going to stop focusing on this record although i am going to send you a picture of it later andrew because from a visual standpoint it's perfect the pink album the red record player it's spinning, it's beautiful but what we should really talk about is this mini-mart worker who tried to steal the valor of somebody who had actually won $3 million at their store buying a lotto ticket there are so many things about this story this is from the New York Post written by Jeroen Steinbutsch there are so many parts of the story that I just don't understand A Massachusetts liquor store clerk allegedly stole and tried to cash out a winning $3 million lottery ticket, but her alleged plot was foiled when officials watched the surveillance video. So the first thing was, a guy named Paul Little came in to this liquor store in Massachusetts and bought a bunch of lottery tickets, and then didn't leave the store with the lottery tickets. Completely forgot that he had purchased the lottery tickets. Which is odd to me, just like, because it's like, you know, that's the last thing that you do. You're standing at the thing, you say, like, give me like $10 of mega millions or whatever. This guy, Paul Little, who was a boat mechanic, bought the lottery tickets and then somehow walked out of the store sans lottery tickets. So that's... happens and then later apparently they announce the winning numbers and carly nunez who is a 23 years old who's working at the front counter realizes somehow that one of these tickets that paul little left behind is the winning ticket again a lot has to happen for this story to occur right like who even like you're working at a mini mart there's a bunch of paper and things hanging around how are you like grabbing these leftover tickets and then checking them against the numbers and realizing it's a three million dollar winner and also the person these are you pick your

numbers right this is where i always get confused about these things not always you can have the computer can generate them for you because i was just wondering if the person is at home i haven't read this story by the way this is all very interesting to me i just like it when it's story time with luke and andy you just tell me stories and i just sit with my uh legs crossed applesauce on the floor and you tell me about it but gather round um i uh so is the person at home being like wait those are my numbers where are my tickets oh i don't think the guy who won ever knew this

had happened that's another weird part of the story what happened was carly nunez and her now alleged accomplice a guy named joseph redem went to the like lottery headquarters to cash in this $3 million ticket, which again, it's going to raise some eyes. And apparently what Carly Nunes did to try to, I don't know what, somehow like throw them off the scent was she was wearing a hoodie that she had up over her head when she was cashing in the $3 million ticket. The photo of her in the New York Post is exactly what I would be doing if I was trying to like cash in a $3 million dollar ticket that wasn't mine she's kind of pursing her lips she's sort of pushing her mouth to one side she's pushing her eyes to the other side she has the a hoodie slightly up over her head she's doing a bunch of subtle stuff that's like don't notice that it's me cashing this three

million dollar ticket please okay well i and this might be me missing the details of the story or maybe you said this and my apologies if that's the case but i don't understand why she has to act sus as she's claiming this ticket like can she just say hey I'm the person with the winning ticket I work at this convenience store and I bought the ticket and now I have the ticket and now I want my monies please just like I said to HR sure give me the pudding pop how much PTO do I have in pudding pop why did she have to act like she was doing something wrong

I think she intuited that there was something my guess would be if you work at a place that sells lottery tickets and you win the lottery, there is extra kind of like... Scrutiny? Scrutiny on what you're doing. And I think she sensed this, which is why she tried to bring her pal along, Mr. Joseph Redem. But this is where things additionally fell apart. She shows up with the $3 million ticket. She has the hoodie kind of up half over her head so as to be incognito while winning $3 million. Her and Joseph Redem get in an argument in the lobby of the lottery office. Quote, at lottery headquarters, the argument that took place in the lobby was really one of the key things that tipped us off, said Massachusetts State Lottery Rep. Christina Teja. Apparently, they were yelling at each other in the lobby about how much money Joseph Redem was owed from the ticket.

Now, this is starting to feel not like an Altman movie. This is starting to feel like a Coen Brothers movie

Yes Strong Fargo Yes

I'm telling you I've got the ticket

I'm going to give you the money for the ticket That's my impression of What's his name from Fargo And it's a bad one

I can see the footage, the security footage It cuts to that and you see them arguing From the film point of view Then you go to the security footage and you don't hear it But you just see them acting like They're fighting in the lobby Let's make a movie

so basically these two people effed this up so royally that then the lottery went back and got the surveillance footage from the mini mart from the liquor store and figured out that a different dude had bought the tickets in question and forgotten forgot to take them like they they messed this up so bad that they created an investigation for and now they're both in jail like all you had to do was not argue in the lobby of the lottery headquarters you might have gotten away with this but what you did was the guy paul little who bought the ticket

is apparently now rich okay so and that's the other thing here so they were able to track this person down somehow so i do wonder when you're buying a lotto ticket like this you're not handing over your name right like are all

of these things traceable or trackable my guess is and this is not detailed in the article my guess would be that this guy paul little used some kind of credit or debit card to pay for the overall transaction now you can't buy a lot of tickets with a credit card no you have to use either cash money or maybe you can use a debit card because that's considered cash my guess would be that they figured out who paul little was through that that would that would make sense when you started

to say credit card i was like oh i didn't know you could do that like when i buy the occasional scratch off yeah no kidding i'd be in a lot of trouble i think a lot of people we need to raise eight million dollars for this tv telephone that's right just get out of a you just gotta get me out about eight million jams one to nine jams yes exactly so that is interesting but i'm glad that the guy ends up getting his money but it's funny how i mean again like i i'm a little unclear as to whether or not he's like wait a second i left those tickets behind and maybe they were winners but it sounds like no the the authorities actually tracked him down to say hey buddy you left your

winning ticket on the counter yeah he he had no idea what the numbers were good grief he was not like he wasn't at home being like fingers crossed i hit this like he did not know any of this was happening as far as i'm able to figure out and uh and was presumably alerted by the which is boy talk about the perhaps principle right the thing i talk about too much on the show like the idea that you just sort of never know how life's going to go like he goes into the store he's buying the lotto tickets presumably you know dreaming he wins big totally forgets about it goes back to his real life has no idea any of this skullduggery has gone on and then gets a call from someone saying hey by the way you won three million dollars someone tried to steal it but we got your three million dollars okay you want a hot take yes i don't give it to him i think the

thieves deserve this more i feel like they've worked harder for it well you know what i don't

think i mean that is a hot take and i don't think i disagree with you i mean they work paul little

would have never known he doesn't any of this happened yeah i mean i i say that somewhat in jest obviously we must have you know abide by the laws and thievery is not good and i'm actually kind of happy for the guy but it's kind of like boy he didn't even know it he wouldn't have even felt the the pangs of not winning because he didn't even know meanwhile these two were they were working for it they worked for it and now they're in the they did somebody put half of a

hoodie on yeah somebody yelled at someone in a lobby exactly this is all more work than paul

little put in yeah exactly they had a winning they were carrying balloons that they let go at a certain time so it blocked the view of the security camera wait that's oceans 11 sorry just

still still trying to make this novelty cowboy hat that could fit a hidden camera i believe that was the same reference i made last time this thing came up i am trying to log into my a new york times account do you have i know you love the levitard show do you find yourself sometimes saying things in the cadence of the way they say stuff on the levitard show listen i know that i

have a i'm gonna guess yes i think that i i don't know if this is still true i used to be very prone to taking or at least thinking like i was taking on the mannerisms and style of speech of people that i was around a lot now you've met my friend josh rogers we couldn't be more different as far as personality he's just like a really monotone dry kind of guy like that um but he's got this very recently featured on morning edition that's right you mentioned that but he's very droll he's very funny and is in his like kind of eye rolly way and when we were spending tons of time together i found myself picking i don't know if you'd be able to even see it in me because we're such different people but i would embarrass myself by saying something that seemed very Josh-esque or sort of adapting his style of communication. And that's always embarrassing to me when I catch myself doing it. The only person I think I sometimes accidentally slip into doing, and I think I probably do it on this show more than in real life, is the Billy Gill producer on that show who his whole thing is he doesn't say much until you get him going and then he won't shut up and he'll just go tangent, tangent, tangent, tangent, tangent, talking a million miles an hour and saying things like, did you know this? Did you know this? So anyway, that's somebody who I sometimes slip into. Why do you ask, though?

Because there's a guy that I follow on TikTok named Frankie Hoy. And he is a stand-up comic in New York, and he lives in his van. And he does, I think, really great content on TikTok, which is he just takes you through his day of getting to the open mics he wants to do. He drinks something every morning called Frankie's Hobo Coffee, which is him just putting some coffee powder into cold water, Which until about a week ago I thought was a product Called Frankie's Hobo Coffee Until I realized it's just What he calls the coffee he makes in the morning

So is he actually kind of broke as a joke And living in his van or is he just embracing Hashtag van life in the way

He seems pretty broke he does Uber Eats Like he delivers Uber Eats For money And he does these things where he's like, I'm going to try to post 100 videos in the next 100 days, and also I'm going to try to live on like $10 a week. And this kid is, I say kid, he's probably like 29, but he is to me so adorable and so engaging. But he has these little things that he says. So when it's time for him to brush his teeth, he goes, and I brush my pearly browns, which is funny to me. And he goes, like, if he does anything, he calls it a sick little something. So he goes, I went to 24-hour fitness, got a sick little workout in.

I love this guy. Or I love your – And dude, Frankie Hoy. Check out Frankie Hoy, please. That's great.

This guy is great. But he also says, like, New York City. Like, every time – he lives in New York City. But every time he says, like, I'm going to New York City. So when I was just about to tell you this article is from the New York Times, I would say, New York Times.

And I gave such a long, boring answer to that setup. No, no, no, no. All I had to say was no.

I asked and you answered it. But I want to say New York Times in the style of this kid, Frankie Hoy, who's really so charming. And there's a bunch of other little things. What he does, I think, that's so genius is, because he does so many videos, kind of in the way that we do so many shows, right? he just has these little ways that like in not trying to compare but like in the way that I always I tend to always start the show with the same cadence and kind of like patter because I just can't think of new things to say so I always say the same stuff he sort of does that because he's making so many videos but I'm totally charmed by his little things that he does made some Frankie's Hobo coffee and then got a got this sick little burrito like you know like his little the way that he phrases and frames things uh-huh totally sticks in my brain yeah definitely no i i completely relate to that so uh do check out frankie hoy and his pearly brown now is frankie

hoy one of the many uh tiktokers you've sent me this week that i still haven't looked at i'm sorry no pressure on that like no i mean to it's just that when it's on my phone my friend you have

had bigger priorities than those dumb tiktok possible intro intro tape that i send you no

it's good and we need more intro tape i just like if it's not on email then i'm not like seeing it it just gets washed away in the stream and if i'm not missing anything please focus on the important

stuff uh our sick little podcast yes it is a sick little please focus on getting our sick little podcast out to the wider world both this week and next week when we will be trying to raise money anyway a story in the new york times how migrants flown to martha's vineyard came to call it home This is a piece by Edgar Sandoval, and basically the story is not for everybody who is used in that sort of owning of the libs that like Greg Abbott from Texas had also stupid DeSantis tried this as well from Florida, where these governors of states that are considered border states, although what is Florida a border state of? Alabama? Floribama? Not that it's okay when Greg Abbott does it But at least Greg Abbott, the majority of his state Does touch upon another country The DeSantis thing is especially galling Because it's just As Jon Stewart once said And again, with absolute Peace and love to our listeners in Florida We love you, we appreciate you But as Jon Stewart once said If Florida were a leg Caught in a trap by America We would chew it off

If we had to

But it's not a border state in my mind, other than Cuba, which is mostly generating Republicans, it turns out. But anyway, so the story is of some of the people who were tricked, and I would even argue kidnapped, into going to a state that was not the one they entered. These people entered the state of Texas. They were mostly from Venezuela, it turns out, these folks. And they were – somebody came up to them. There was some detail about this I didn't actually really know the first time around. Somebody came up to them, and sorry, I'm both trying to scroll to this. I'm out of printer paper, by the way, Andrew, if I sound a little unhinged. It's because I don't have these things printed out. Unlike Donald Trump, I don't have these secret documents printed out. I'm not waving them in front of the audio recorder right now. These folks came from Venezuela, and they were coming into the United States, and somebody approached them with some paperwork and other things that were very promising about where they were going to be taken to. and it told them you're going to be taken to either Oregon or Washington which to you and me would be too vague but I imagine if you're coming from Venezuela can you imagine trying to cross into Venezuela and they're like you're going to this place or that place you're like those sound like places those sound like places those checks out those are places anyway and then these folks of course were put on uh buses or uh maybe even airplanes and then they

They dropped down in Martha's Vineyard, and everybody on the right had a hearty laugh because they've owned the libs once again. Well, it turns out some of the folks that stayed in Martha's Vineyard are thriving because the people in Martha's Vineyard, not to a person. There's, I'm sure, a lot of lousy folks that live up there, but like enough of them were like, hey, you got kidnapped and brought here. Can we give you some food, housing? Is there employment we might be able to offer you? And this article is basically a profile And it's not a lot of people I think it's like four people Out of like the hundred that were, you know, shipped up there But like, of the four people who stuck around They're having a seemingly pretty okay time in Martha's Vineyard Working, making friends Eating meals Sending their, not condolences But their correspondences back to their families in Venezuela Like, turns out, if you're going to own the libs Don't ship them to Martha's Vineyard A beautiful place filled with kind people Right, exactly So, jokes on you, Greg Abbott

Yeah, and your state-sponsored human trafficking I can't even believe it's a conversation

Right

Hey, did I just power out?

I was trying to power out with Jokes on you Sick little power out You've got a sick little power out

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 i'm not trying to be funny andrew nor would i ever nor have i ever been i could tell yeah no you'll know when i'm being funny the rest of my day i've canceled every appointment the rest of my day is trying to figure out how to make this freaking record player work yeah no i understand

I am obsessed. No, I mean, that's, I mean, I know that it's a fun toy or whatever. I can't wait to send you a picture. Oh, yeah, you've got to send me a picture. I'll use it as the show pic today.

Can we do a video? Can the show pic ever be a GIF? Yeah.

I believe on the new site we can do that. I feel like it'll be more exciting if the record is spinning. I think you can. Try it. I'll try it. I'll send you both. I'll give you an option. Okay, I was going to say, oh, so you'd send me a video. I'd have to turn it into a GIF. Oh, yeah, we'll see. Anyway, I'm going to play a voicemail for you here, Luke. I'm not going to tell you why. I'm not going to tell you what we were talking about on the show that prompted this because I think it's sort of revealed in the voicemail. Now, this is a long voicemail, and the listener says several times, I know you're not going to play this on the show. It's too long. But actually, I am going to play it on the show. And it is long, but it's not too long because it really had my attention this morning when I listened to it. So here, take it away, Steve.

Hi, this is Steve out in Port Orchard, and you guys talked about something last week that I want to address. I was 24 when I got my journalism degree, and I was 37 before I got my first journalism job, and I don't need to go into why that was. But because I was so old, I felt like I needed to move up in the business quickly, and one of the things I looked for were ways to write for national publications. And Newsweek, which was a thing back then, had a My Turn column, which was written by a different American every week, and it was about some issue not related to the news addressing something like aging parents or whatever. And so I started trying to write columns for them. And, again, the stories weren't supposed to be about the news or anything like that. But then 9-11 happened, and we couldn't talk about anything for a while. without referencing the attacks of 9-11. And so the Newsweek columns, the My Turn columns, were focused on 9-11, and I wrote one. And I got a call from an editor at Newsweek, and this was in, oh, December of 2001. So 9-11 had happened like three months earlier. And by the way, this was a way to put Newsweek on my resume. This was my whole point. and I had written a good piece. I thought it was good when I sent it, but it was, in fact, it was the first one I thought, hey, I might get a call on this one, and I did, and I get this call, and she says, we really like your piece. We would like to run it. However, we do have another piece lined up for next week. That person isn't sure they can make the edits they would need, and I'm wondering, you know, who in their right mind writes 1,000 words for Newsweek and isn't going to make time to make the edits? And what she asked was, if he can't do it, will you be able to? And I said, of course. And she said, if we don't run yours this week, this next week, we'll run it the week after. And so I thought I'd accomplished what I'd set out.

What was that, Luke? I have you turned down a little.

We'll run it on 9-12. Right. It's not a strong news hook. Bring your Doogie Howser down a little.

bit here because i'm pulling it down here on my end which means you're getting kind of lost in the mix here so okay here uh back to steve launching me into some greater success and

she called back the next day and she said our writer came through and as it turns out this we're not going to run any more 9-11 columns after next week and i was a little you know i was a lot disappointed and i tried to get it published elsewhere and i got really nice compliments but no publication took it and um i picked up the magazine the next week because i was really curious to see who had outwritten me and um i'm staring back at me is kobe bryant

and i was huh yeah kobe bryant wrote this thing that's who he lost out to i kind of laughed

and i think i came up pretty quickly with the joke you know hey i'm not the first one to lose a one-on-one to Kobe Bryant but then I read his piece and I thought it was fine it was competent but it was one of the things what he was saying had been said over and over which is uh since 9-11 which was I will never take see you later for granted you just don't know when you're going to see somebody again and I was kind of bitter because it's a celebrity and so you guys last week we're talking about uh springsteen and i'm a huge springsteen fan we were talking about um

the the kind of celebrities who get into the podcast yeah you were saying you you were saying

you don't like obama and springsteen's podcast i've never heard they're black

oh you do remember the conversation yeah no no i've never actually even heard that podcast but we were talking about megan markle and um and and prince harry and their podcast and how like it It turns out they were phoning it in even more than we even realized. And you and I just got into this conversation about, like, just because you're an interesting person doesn't mean you should have your or a successful person or a celebrity that you should have your own podcast. Maybe you can tell your stories on other people's podcasts. So that was the thrust of our conversation. I'll toss it back to Steve.

But, Andrew, just like you, when Springsteen and Obama get on this podcast, I'm like, you know, Bruce, I love you, but do you have to do everything? And then I listened to it, and it was pretty goddamn good. The point is that, yeah, I get this. Every time I see a celebrity doing something new, especially, I guess, podcasts, I kind of feel it makes me angry again about that piece about Kobe. Now, also in hindsight, when Kobe died, the thing he wrote for Newsweek was really pertinent. And so what I did was I posted a link to it without telling anybody my connection to it and just said, wow, this seems really pertinent right now, given what we know. So sorry, I don't expect to hear this on your show. I just can't keep it short enough.

can you on the subject of 9-11 andrew yes can you play the second text that i sent you the second tiktok that you have like the most recent one you haven't listened to

oh okay yeah give me a second you have the ability yeah i gotta call it up sometimes tiktok's a little bit weird on this computer oh we should play this um como promo tomorrow too that i sent you before yes okay so this is jeff on tiktok maybe i gotta take a second here to kind to get this loaded sorry i'm putting you on the spot no it's okay this is it involves 9-11 i think steve will really appreciate this geez louise have you now i gotta like match this puzzle piece to verify that i'm me and then have you gotten this thing on tiktok and sometimes when people send me a tiktok that they want me to watch or enjoy um i click on the link on my phone and then before i can watch it it has to tell me hey do you want to follow this person and watch it or do you just want to watch it right and they're like trying to sell like i only follow to be a fun person or do you want to just suck yeah i'm just like dude um okay so this is a person in their car and their handle is um abandoned free wi-fi maybe i don't know yeah i think this is 9-11 related that's all enough okay i'm gonna hit play and hopefully the audio will work there are no words i

i'm hung over it's sunday afternoon and i just wanted a veggie sub so i went into subway and the first thing out of the person's mouth was that tattoo a scorpion and i had to explain that it's not a scorpion it's a rat smoking a cigarette being carried by a balloon that says on my way to fight god uh but then after that the next thing out of his mouth was how old are you instinctively he said 31 and then he said oh so you were around when the towers fell what was that like and i just

it's too early for this possible intro tape maybe down the line it's a rat on my way to

is that just a total made up spoof for the tick tock or do you think this guy i know we're gun

shy because we've recently been burned by the rap battle but no i'm just wondering like does

this person actually have that tattoo because they're a funny person and that's a funny i don't

know i don't know enough about them that's the only thing i've ever seen them do but that just made me it's too early for this i thought that was a decent power out i heard tbtl like after It's too early for this.

Somebody is into comments. I love reading comments, by the way. I know I shouldn't, but I do. Now available at tbtl.net. That's right. That's right. A lot of people have been commenting on the shows. When you go to tbtl.net, you can go listen to the small archive that's there now, just going back to January, and we're posting our new shows there, and you can comment on it. In fact, Luke, do you know I told you off air that I was maybe on air because I'm really in this you know martyr uh mode right now but i was working until like 12 30 last night and you

told me in advance yesterday when you and i were texting you were like i've got to record a couple of episodes of uh spotless and then i've got to do this other stuff i'm gonna be up late with this like you knew that was gonna happen because i knew that the result so bad for you that i went to the

local bar and played I'm jealous no I um like um I I gotta say there are there was one major thing related to this RSS transfer that I bored you with earlier in the show and actually a couple of data entry basically things with this and this is the type of stuff I actually very much like doing it's very tedious it's very kind of rote um one of the things I had to do was because we switched over our audio feed i had to go back into every single one of those show pages that is on the new tbtl.net and change the audio inside of it because it's no longer going to be available because all of that audio every show page pointed to a piece of audio that was sitting on a server at american public media that's not available anymore so i had to go in before today and re-edit

three thousand nine hundred and seventy six times i only had it only goes back to february so it's

like a couple hundred or maybe a hundred I don't know how many episodes that is probably less than a day 500 that's rich that's rich um so anyway this I didn't again it's not hard work like I had I was sitting here I was drinking my beers I was just like go used having to say okay go into this file open up this copy and paste this piece of code put it in there hit save go back and just kind of bounce back and forth between two websites it's kind of satisfying because you can see yourself okay only uh four more months to go two more months ago you know like it's kind of satisfying a lot of people would probably hate that work I was even thinking about it because you said hey let me know if there's anything I could do and I was like trying to as I'm just doing this and my mind is wandering I'm like trying to think how I could ever tell you that I love you but I would never trust you with this and that's fine and it's not even an insult because Because I'm the boring person who likes and enjoys the tedium and minute attention to detail that it takes to do this. Can I offer a response to that?

That doesn't make me cool. Yes. First of all, you should never trust me with any of that. Yes. You're not wrong. But also, I would like to reinforce so you know, I really was genuinely, like, I know that I can't be trusted with these things, but I also feel bad when you have to do these things. And if there were, I believe as I said to you Is there a way for me to sit there on my laptop While watching the Mariner game and do this I really would do it If you had said yes, here's the, you go to this thing And you drag this over, you do it 300 times I would be like, yes, I will do it Like that wasn't an empty promise No, I know it wasn't an empty promise But also, you're right to not trust me with anything important on the show

And again, it's not difficult And it's just tedious, but it's a million little steps Where literally every little character Has to be right, right So it's just like it's one of the there are very few people. I actually my brain now that I'm recalling this, my mind was wandering quite a bit. So I remember even thinking like, you know, this is the type of thing that somebody might delegate to an intern or something if you were working at like a bigger organization. But I was like, this is always my problem. I don't think I would trust an intern. I don't think I would trust anybody with this. I just feel like I'm the one who must do this to make sure that it's done right. So that's so I mean, you're definitely the totally wrong personality type for this. You wouldn't you just wouldn't get through it. Um, but, uh, but also like, I don't think I also have delegation issues and also do you have a lot of Adderall? Hey, listen, speaking of Addy, um, this is kind of interesting for reasons that are not clear to me. Um, and it definitely is on the, the kind of the new import side of things. They, they, they call the process ingesting all, you know, again, like there's actually more than 4,000 audio files and shows and metadata that go along with it, which means like the show description and name and title, all of that. It took like three.

days for it to transfer into our new system at this company named libsyn who's going to be you know running our servers and uh that's how much data was in there and so out of those like uh over 4500 records about 277 about about 277 about exactly 277 actually 279 if you count the two episodes that posted the past couple of days um are not in the new feed they are just missing for some reason it's not because they're missing on APMs and I'm guessing it was just like it was a glitch and so 277 is a very small portion of 4500 so it's like okay well I sort of have these files here like the shows exist but there's no mp3 and my job now and I did about I'm gonna say I got through maybe 25 maybe 30 of them last night is to go back to these hard drives that I've been saving for years luke where i've saved every single episode of tbtl file management exactly i was so proud of myself for saving these things as as i thought you were crazy i told you repeatedly not to do that you kept saying throw them off a cliff it'll be funny let's see what happens when it hits the bottom i'm like why would i do that um you're like letterman would do it

you just threw it through a usb flash drive so i'm so i am sitting here like kind of there's a

way for me to filter it on the new system to say okay these 277 files here do not have audio attached to them so i need to like kind of track down on my hard drive and i've got it all saved by year and month and or you know i'm meticulous with that so in a certain way i'm high on my own supply saying thank god i kept such meticulous records and also when things slow down a little bit like now we're missing about 250 or whatever episodes i can work on that over time by the way You would have been really appreciative of our guy, Peter, at APM, who when he heard about these missing episodes, I said, don't worry about them. I'll find them and I'll upload it by hand. And he's like, yeah, but he's like, we gave them everything. This is a collector's series. Like, he's really, he's totally bought. He's drinking the tea. Peter Rasmussen. Yeah, he was really, he really wanted this to go perfectly for us. And he was bummed to hear that I was doing this. But it's, it's, it's, it's, it sort of justifies my tedious nature. But there's one show that I can't track down, Luke, and it was driving me bananas. I'm like, why is this not on my hard drive? And I realized it's the episode, you must have done it when I was gone, because it was you interviewing Addie about a bunch of music. And I don't have it. I remember, I believe I was in the Graduate Hotel. And I didn't know that, but that means I'm sure you saved that file somewhere. Can you send me that MP3? Absolutely. I have it in triplicate. so there may be a couple of episodes that are missing forever if i if i can't track it down if you produced a show and saved it and i don't have the original files and that's so far the only one here i could also maybe see if i could hack into the apm system before friday and find that actual you don't really think that you might have that well i was searching in my itunes for

things that have my daughter's name and i have jeff propst for addy which we played recently that It was the host of Survivor Wishing Addie Well. Oh, right, right, right. And then something called Addie Music Picks, which is only, oh, one hour. No, wait. Yeah, one minute and 27 seconds.

Yeah, no.

So if it was one hour and 27 minutes, then maybe that would be the show.

That might have been the music. She might have sent you the files so that you could play them during the show, and that's probably that. It was episode number 3057, Five Songs I Love About You, from December 19th, 2019. Great show title, Luke. Yeah, we've got to find that.

I bet you our friend Lin Pham will have some kind of access to that. He's built a scraper that finds every episode that has Addy in it. That's right. Just if I can give Lin a little more probably unwanted attention. Last night we were doing this kind of like a trivia thing for Livewire where it was kind of a quiz about people that have been on Livewire and people that are going to be coming up on the fall season. and it was trivia questions that would lead you to kind of like maybe have a sense of who the guest would be if that makes sense and a couple of them were fairly obscure people and fairly obscure clues and i was like no one's gonna get this and then i remembered lynn's gonna be here and lynn nailed it knew exactly i was like this is way too esoteric and then from somewhere from the back lynn was like uh it's this person i was like you're 100 right did he have his notebook i love

I know you know what we do you know Lynn doesn't like tons of attention on him so I will I'll back off a little bit but I will just say this that Lynn when he keeps his meticulous notes about wait wait don't tell me I love his handwriting and like he'll take photos of his entries in

his journal I feel a little bit starstruck when I see my name on I know isn't it beautiful

yes like I'm like oh I did do that like I feel like I'm I'm I'm sort of yeah I'm being I'm being

documented by the best and it seems less ethereal right it seems exactly I think that's one of the reasons why because I don't do exactly what Lynn does obviously but I have tendencies to do that kind of stuff when I'm really into something to sort of collect it somewhere or save it or document it or market and I mean it's the same reason why my CDs my entire life and cassette tapes have been have been in alphabetical order by band and then chronological within the band. There's something about interacting with the media in some way that is part of the processing of it.

And like you said, makes it less ephemeral. Yeah, definitely. It's a thing that's just out there floating around, as is TBTL, as is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, as are the bands you like. But if you can document them and journal them in a certain way, you take them from being out there in the airy-fairy to being like a real kind of concrete thing.

Yep, yep, exactly. Anyway, you're appreciated, Lynn, and then we'll stop putting the spotlight on you for a bit.

Yep, no more spotlight. Spotlight on me figuring out how to make... I think I had a slight breakthrough with the record player. Let's try this. Sorry, that's not the music.

I was going to say that to my... Stop on guard. Was that you hitting a guitar? Oh, no. Oh.

You getting any of this?

Yeah, that it? Okay, what happened?

I learned Japanese.

Was it the stylus? Did you install it, or what was it?

Although, I don't like that this was the way to fix it. The stylus doesn't click on the arm. It just rests. In other words, the arm is this kind of, you know, the arm is the arm, and then it has this little, I don't know, rectangular part. And I kept thinking, because I had this little thing that was the stylus, which was in its own little plastic housing, I thought this should click and connect in a very permanent way with it, and that's not how it works. You just kind of gently place it on the arm and then place the arm down on the record.

I don't like that either. It doesn't sound satisfying.

I'll bring it to Pulsebow, and we can diagnose this together when we get together for the thon.

Is Pulsebow near? We've said where your parents live, right? Two hours away. Oh, okay, gotcha.

No, it's near my phone's.

It is near your phone's.

That would be amazing if I booked us an Airbnb that was two hours away.

Well, I wasn't exactly sure what the joke was there. It's further from my parents' house than your house. Oh, okay, gotcha.

No, but I want to clarify. It's also not around the corner. I bet it's like a 30-minute drive, maybe, 25-minute drive. Oh, I didn't know that. We'll get more into this as the THON week unfolds, unfolds but part of my um reason for choosing it was because it had more than one bathroom i didn't want either of us to feel any kind of uh apprehension around if and when we could use the restroom and it had enough uh bedrooms that if one of us snores yeah i'm a snorer man i that is a thing i we have like i didn't want us to be in i didn't want us to both be trying to raise this money for our small business and getting no sleep because we're in like a a studio apartment

type of thing now let me be honest with me about something because i mean i know that i'm a very loud snorer when i snore and i think it's often i've never noticed you to be a snorer okay well then i slept in hotel rooms with you i don't think that's true i think when we were in our new hampshire trip you said that i had and you were being you weren't ragging me about it but you said it was a little tough to sleep because we remember we shared a room we because we went out there on cairo's dime and they're like fine if you guys share a room dave ross was washing his

underwear in the sink we were sharing a room yes now Dave did not stay in our room he wasn't washing his undies that's an HR violation by the way you could you should never if you can't afford to have the people that you're sending to the thing have their own hotel rooms you shouldn't

send them to the thing I think it was because they didn't really want to send us it's like you know that's Dave Ross used to go to New Hampshire to cover the you think somebody who was driving

back from a roofing job in Tonino didn't care about our take on the democratic primary and

Whether or not we had to be there as a local Seattle, especially since, you know, the power of the New Hampshire primary.

But what if we went to a house where John Huntsman was getting up?

Yeah, right? And then the power of the primary was already starting to dwindle there. It doesn't even look like they'll have that first in the nation status this time around. But, yeah, but the thing is we just really wanted to go. We had known that Dave had done that in the past. So you and I were sort of pushing our program director, hey, send us to New Hampshire. We've got to cover this story. And so I think that that was a concession. like fine if you guys will share a room we're like alright fine but you're right that shouldn't be you should not be able to force two employees to stay in the same room together

so maybe I did note your snoring then but I now do not note it

okay because that's why I was going to ask you

it wasn't so terrible that it's like It burned in my brain that, like, Andrew equals snoring. That's good because in Denver, the room I stayed in, the walls didn't go all the way to the ceiling. It was sort of lofty in that way. And I was very self-conscious about whether or not I was keeping you up. You were in a different room, but I wasn't sure if you could hear my snoring through the loft.

No. And the place that we're staying in Poulsbo, Washington, also, I believe one of the things on Vacasa that they bragged about was the walls go all the way to the ceiling.

Oh, good.

The walls go all the way up. They do it all the different kinds of ways that walls should interact with the ceiling. All right, I'm already getting angry texts from Andy about the Mariners, so things must be going well.

Oh, I forgot that was happening. God damn that team, man.

Dude, I hit an amazing... I hit a four-way parlay on the Mariners the other day. And it wasn't for so much money, but it was just unlikely that it would happen.

Did you see... I don't know what we're doing with this show right now. I can't remember if we're still recording a podcast, but I kind of don't care. Did you see the link that I sent to the Fun Loving Criminals chain the other day? I thought you guys would flip out over this thing. It's like it's called the Immaculate Grid. Can you scroll back and open that now? And it's basically like kind of it's a daily game, kind of like Wordle, only it's for hardcore baseball nerds. Now, I can't play this game because I don't have any institutional historical knowledge of players. But if you're somebody who loved baseball, like in the 80s and 90s or whatever, it's a grid. It's a three by three grid. And there will usually be two teams across the top access, two teams across the side access, and then some sort of a accomplishment like 3000 plus career hits or 500 plus home run career in batting. And so what you've created is a grid where, for example, today's top left-hand corner is a Baltimore Oriole symbol and the Oakland A's symbol. So grid number one, you've got to, from your memory, try to figure out who played for both the Orioles and the A's at some point in their career. And then the Twins and the A's. Can you name a player who played for the Twins and the A's at some point in their career? And then the final one in that row would be what A's player got 300-plus hits at some point in their career. I am so bad at this. There was one Texas one the other day. I had to guess some pitching record for a Texas pitcher, and I was the only person in the world who put Hugh Darvish in there instead of Nolan Ryan. because it was so obvious it would be Nolan Ryan, but I couldn't think of Nolan Ryan because I started watching baseball during the U-Darvish era. I couldn't believe I got it right. It was like, and they'll show you like, oh, 1% of people guessed this, whereas at the end you'll see that like 90% of people who got it right guessed Nolan Ryan.

I'm scrolling through, by the way, you know, as do we all on this text chain, there are days when I'm very plugged into it and there are days when I'm not. And so as I scroll back through it, there's some funny people in this chain.

Yeah, we do have a fun chain. It's gone a little bit. It's gone a little stale because the Mariners have been kind of meh. Like not even, I mean, kind of angry making.

I'll keep texting Mike Ford non-appreciation text and see where that gets us.

It works, though. I mean, Mike Ford was the hero. Well, almost the hero the other day, except they dropped it in extra innings. But he's the one who sent us into extra innings.

That's a service I provide. is just texting angry pictures of Mike Ford so as to make him hit. But I'm not seeing this grid from you. Can you resend?

I just resend it to your personal, so off the chain, I just sent it directly to you. But yeah, it's called Immaculate Grid for baseball nerds out there who love geeking out on this stuff.

I'm trying to think of an Oakland A who was also, what did you say, Minnesota twin?

Yeah, can we just try to do it? So an Oakland A who was either an Oriole or a twin, or can you even name an Oakland A or take a guess of an Oakland A who had 300-plus career hits. That should be easy, right? Like, who were the Bash brothers?

Mark McGuire and Jose Canseco. So probably Jose Canseco.

Okay, let me try Canseco. Why can't I spell? How do you spell Canseco?

Also, Ricky Henderson would probably work.

Oh, there it is. Jose Canseco. Here we go. I tried it, and no, Canseco did not get 300. How about Ricky Henderson? Ricky Henderson. So what you do is you start to fill it out, and then it should kind of auto-complete. Because it's like basically every player ever, right? I'm sorry for the dead space. No, this is just me grabbing the cat, keeping her off the record player. Oh, I was spelling Ricky wrong. There's an E in Ricky.

They need you to spell the first. How about Henderson?

There you go. Ricky Henderson, 96%. Okay. Okay, there you go. 96% of people guessed Ricky Henderson there.

You know what's funny is that the A's also had, I believe, a different Henderson, Dave Henderson, a.k.a. Hendoo, who also probably – that's like on Jeopardy. People who have been on Jeopardy will tell you, don't ever say the first name if you don't have to because you might be like, Henderson, and then they'll be like, Dave Henderson, Ricky Henderson, okay, we'll accept Henderson. If you say the first name, you specify it to a degree that you maybe don't need to.

Oh, by the way, I didn't mention this. This is a very fun game, and we're just going to do this now. You only have nine guesses to get the entire grid, and there's nine grids. So when you run out of guesses, you're done. But, okay, so how about this? Let's just go with the two accomplishments. Forget about teams. Who is a player in the MLB who has hit 3,000-plus career hits and 500-plus home runs in their career? Albert Pujols, maybe? All right. That one should be easy to spell. There it is. Let me try. There it is. 22% of people guessed that, Luke. So that's kind of a deep cut. Like, you get a little extra pride there. But that was also, that was the right, a right answer. You got it right. So we've already filled out two. If you get the immaculate grid, that you have nine chances to fill out all nine squares. We're not going to get immaculate.

But I'm losing 3-0. Oh, God, of course they are.

Can you name a San Diego, I almost said Charger, can you name a Padre who would have hit 3,000 plus hits? Oh, yeah, easy.

Tony Gwynn.

Oh, really? Okay. G-W-I-N, right? Yeah. Or no, is it not? Is it G-U? It's G-Y... Wait. G-W-Y-N-N, I think. G. Let's see here. Oh, there it is. Okay, I got it. I'm going to hit select, and... Oh, bing, bing, bing! 97% of people guessed that. So we've filled out the entire right column here. Yes. Okay, so now here's where things get more tough. Can you think... Let's stick with the accomplishments. can you think of a baltimore oriole who would have had 500 plus home run career

a baltimore oriole who had i think albert bell played for the orioles at some point so i'm going

to say albert bell oh do you know there's another part of this that i did not tell you which is if you can think of a player who fits in two of these grids you can only use one so that's another thing so that's why it's so impossible tiny rule so yeah right so if you have to look at the whole grid and be like well i don't want to use up this player here because then i won't be able to use in there i'm going with albert bell oh wrong so only four more guesses

okay let's think 500 plus career um fred griff maybe the crime dog fred mcgriff mcgriff it's

mcgriff um let me see here there it is let me see no down to 500 home runs 500 plus home run career

oriole baltimore oriole who hit 500 plus home runs i feel like this is not because obviously cal ribkin but he wasn't a home run hitter how long did he play though i mean is there any chance that he just squeaked out he got a cup of coffee in the big time but i mean like you don't think

that he was just play he played long enough just to squeak out that stat even though he wasn't a

slugger i mean that's a lot question i that's it's a feel 500 home runs feels like so many yeah it does it feels like you are just a a slugger par excellence i'm trying to think of who other man i thought i was really going to get there with the crime dog fred mcg should i try

cal try it let's why not well the only reasons we're running out of guesses but here we go no i shouldn't have done that we're down to two guesses okay well here's the deal it doesn't have to be that one we could also name a minnesota twin who had 500 plus home run career maybe kirby Puckett oh or wait what about the guy has has a he's there now who used to be a Mariner or no he's not there anymore who was our slugger who went to Minnesota yeah what's his name yeah I know the guy you're talking about this

is terrible funny part is his name is the name of a Carlos Santana is that

who you're thinking of that isn't who I was thinking of did he go to he he played in in Minnesota I think we got

I was thinking of Nelson Cruz. Oh, Nelly.

Eddie Murray. How about Eddie Murray? Eddie Murray. And this is for Baltimore. Hit 500 home runs. Maybe Eddie Murray. Eddie Murray. Let me try this. This is good. I mean, we did it at the end of the show. M-U-R-R-A-Y. Yeah, Eddie Murray. Hey, look at you. And what a baseball guy, too. Oh, my God. I love his facial hair. Oh, my God. He's got a mustache and then really big sideburns. Then the sideburns almost touch the mustache. That's great

All we should do is play Super Password on the show And Immaculate Baseball

Who is the listener who's like Please stop talking about baseball on the show I mean we've buried this I don't know if that listener will even hear this But this is the worst Even for people who like baseball This has got to be the worst There are two people who have recently now upgraded to the highest level of tbtl donation now there's hundreds who have downgraded to the lowest level of tbtl support but for the two people who are like i just want to try to think of some guys i just want to think of some guys yeah so okay here are

the choices that you have now we have one more guest i'm going to give you a lot of options of who you could possibly name because we haven't done any of the intersections of teams we haven't done any of the hard ones yeah well that might be easier i was thinking so if you could name anybody who's played for both the A's and the Orioles or anybody who's played for both the A's and the Twins or anybody who's played for the Padres and the Orioles or the Padres and the Twins

any point in their career the problem is and I I'm sure our boy Stu is not listening anymore but the problem is the Twins are sort of a blank spot for me like I mean I can name you know Kent Herbeck, Kirby Puckett, Scott, who's the pitcher they had? They had like a devastating – oh, Jack Morris was a Detroit Tiger and a Minnesota Twin. That doesn't help. There was a guy named Scott. See, I don't know any of these names. Scott something. Scott, and the last name was with an S, and he was a really, really good pitcher for the Twins for years. But I'm not – the overlap of the Twins and other teams is – I'm not great with that.

Okay, well, we only have one guess. Ken, T-Bone, Shelby. Well, it doesn't have to be the Twins column then. What about somebody who's played for Baltimore and the A's or Baltimore and the Padres?

Okay, let's think. Baltimore and the Padres.

Or just name a twin who has had a 500-plus home run career.

Oh, well, probably Kirby Puckett.

Okay. P-U-C-K, 1984 to 1995. Nope, got that one wrong, unfortunately. Here, but let's look at the stats. twin with 500 home runs let me see what most people said most people put harman killebrew there

oh harman killebrew i forgot he was a twin by the way the harman killebrew era of the twins had i think arguably one of the best like logos in baseball he killebrew himself had a personal logo no no the twins in the era of harman killebrew sure oh the twins logo was dope as hell because it was like the Twin Cities.

Oh, okay. See, I like their logo now, actually. I've always liked their look. By the way, Nelson Cruz is on the grid as a main answer to somebody who played for both the Twins and the Padres. I forgot. I think it's with the Padres now, isn't it?

Where hasn't?

Yeah, no kidding.

Where hasn't old Nelly been?

Miguel Tejada played for the A's. Miggy! Played for the A's in Baltimore.

He bedeviled the Mariners in the way that a lot of A's do, which is like, oh this team is 30 games under 500 everyone's hitting under a buck 20 but somehow they just

get at the mariner pitching um oh and uh a human piece of garbage and the person that our friend uh john sklaroff roots for as a yankees fan josh donaldson what played for both the a's and

although josh donaldson is just sucking he's terrible he's awful apparently except he's such a jerk too yeah i was listening i mean literally i believe in that series he had some kind of critical hit that really sunk us which is like well josh donaldson still alive yeah um but no i

was i heard there's some report recently because he's the type of guy who he's a jerk anyway but when he's doing poorly he doesn't just like kind of eat humble pie he becomes a bigger jerk so i think that he they're having some real issues with him in new york and i i tease john a little bit i don't think john likes the fact that donaldson is on his team but i hate the yankees so much that i

like to call him josh i'm sending you a picture of harman killebrew harman killebrew's arm i texted you and i don't know it's not a great picture but can you see the twins logo at the time when harman killebrew was there it's amazing it's two twins separated by a river which i assume is the

mississippi oh my gosh it's two faces the one the face on the left almost looks like that cartoon of you sort of the way they've depicted the jaw sort of that is so funny um by the way the we should have gotten this 300 plus career hits and 500 plus home run career uh hank aaron hammer and hank from which team um it doesn't really matter braves that oh like when that's his career so

this is not that question was not the the particular team the person was playing on is

not relevant to that no because this is a this thing it's a three by three grid so this one square is 300 plus hits and five have you ever seen the because we're just you know it's we're

89 minutes into the show and no one cares have you ever seen the video of when hank aaron broke i believe babe ruth's who had whoever had the record for home runs before hank aaron did have you ever seen the video of hank aaron hitting the i think it was like home run number 715 or

something no but you might want to hit uh record again on your backup because we just ran out of

space on our first backup i just had to hit what's amazing is he okay i'm hitting um recording

By the way, we recorded like three live wires the other day, and not me, but another person who was recording didn't hit record. So then we got to record six live wires. No. Yeah, it was a pretty devastating day. They saw you drop me off at the recording session. No, no, no, no. So we don't have backups? Did a pretty devastating rhyme about it.

We don't have backups upon backups?

I have backups upon backups, Andrew.

No.

Not everybody, not every link in the chain has backups upon backups. Was this a guest or this was somebody on the show? It was somebody on the show. It just was one of those.

Can I offer a performance review for this person?

Once TBTL, once Too Beautiful to Biz LLC, S Corp is fully incorporated, then yes, you can do that. The video of when Hank, so Hank Aaron hits this home run that is, I believe at the time in Atlanta Brave. He's breaking the all-time career home run record. and he's rounding the bases and a crazy hippie jumps onto the field and rounds the bases with him from like second all the way till home and i don't think anyone even does anything about it

it was a really different time it was a different time hey as rick riz said baseball should be fun

yeah you know hippies don't impact you for a day but for a lifetime oh hey you were gonna pull

that riz tape i know i didn't have time i'll have to go back no rush you have bigger priorities But at some point, do you know that yesterday I was thinking about as I was doing all my import, but I was also watching the end of the Mariners game.

I love that you were you were doing you were importing things and it was important to the show. So you were doing import of import.

Oh, that's a good show. Important to import or what I was going to say, though, import was I also sort of felt like that we had, you know, the tape in question was a very celebratory time for the Mariners. And then last night, kind of watching the Mariners lose, but still sort of kind of keep that vibe going with the music that they were playing that we could maybe talk about.

So they were trying to do – they were trying to make – I missed last night's game because we had a live wire event.

They're still doing – like, basically, they're still having a lot of fun with – Country Roads. With Country Roads, which is Kellinick's walk-up music, but now it's also his running around the bases music, apparently. And anyway, there was some real fun being had on Monday's broadcast, but then yesterday was such a goddamn letdown. I just kind of figured I was like, oh, I should grab that tape. I'm like, we're not going to want to talk about it tomorrow. I was in a sour mood.

This serves no purpose on a podcast, but what did we – I didn't follow yesterday's game because we had a livewire thing, but everything I'm seeing is that it was crushing. Did we just, like, surrender a big lead or something?

Well, we kept on surrendering small leads, and I was not paying very close attention, by the way. In fact, I was recording with Genevieve for most of the game, but it seemed like – I think that we might have had a two-run lead at some point, But mostly we had one-run leads, but then they kept tying it up. And then we went into extra innings. I think in the 11th inning, they broke it open, and we lost 7-4. But the reason I think it was especially crushing is not only are the Nats really bad, and much respect to Nats fans. I like the Nats a lot, and I wish them well, generally speaking. But the Nats are really struggling this season, but especially with their bullpen. And so if you've gotten into the 11th inning, especially with the Ghostrunner, We should have had that game tied up, and the fact that we lost to one of the, if not the worst bullpen in baseball, like the biggest weak spot of that bad team, that is especially crushing.

That bullpen was able to neutralize our zombie runner on second. Yes, twice, yes. Well, I think we're still down 3-0, but, you know, hope springs eternal. As long as there's gambling, Andrew, I'll have interest in these Mariners. Dude, my same-game parlay was I needed Luis Castillo to get six-plus strikeouts. I needed Julio Cruz to get two hits, and I needed Eugenio Suarez to get two hits. I needed Eugenio Suarez to have one RBI, and I needed the Mariners to win by two runs.

And you got that in all of this team. Boy, Julio getting two.

That was the 8-4 victory.

Oh, okay. I was going to say Julio getting two runs in any game, but that was the one where we were.

They almost scuttled me when they let the tying run come to the plate in the ninth inning because we were ahead 8-4, and then we let them load the bases. And I was like, wouldn't this be the Mariners that this guy hits a triple right now and then we only win by one run and I don't win my same game parlay?

That was a fun game, though. You got Rick Riz singing at the top of his lungs. Exactly. What a different time Monday was.

What a different—remember Monday? We got to get out of here, man. That's a good show title. All right. Thanks everybody for listening I apologize for the last 40 minutes of the program
