Michael Jordan has more points per game. He has more championships. He has more MVPs. But you have to consider the intangibles. When I dream about LeBron James, he is strong and handsome, like an ancient king. When I dream about Michael Jordan, he's dirty and sick, like a rat. That has to count for something.

Of course, the dreams we all have about Michael Jordan are horrible. There's no argument there. But he is undefeated in the finals. I don't care how many times I have to wake up in a cold sweat after being hunted by a rabid, bloodthirsty Michael Jordan. Championship rings matter.

Unbelievable. I recently had a terrible fever where I was having visions of dying in a swamp. LeBron James carried me to safety, told me he knew I was doing my best and that God loved me no matter what. Michael Jordan tried to bite my face. Does that sound like the greatest to you?

T-B-T-L Guess what day it is? Guess what day it is.

It's Friday, Friday. Gonna get down on Friday. Everybody's looking forward to the weekend. I love to peel the strawberries. It's nothing like when your lips contact a skinless strawberry.

I'm, I'm, I have, I'm easily, I don't, hmm. How did, do you follow?

Oh, I see. Dirty monkey not okay. But dirty monkey dance?

I should have prepared, but I just watch TV

Alright, hello, good morning, and welcome everyone to a Friday edition of TBTL The show that just might be too beautiful to live

This song goes out to all the coffee lovers of the world

My name is Luke Burbank, I am your host I'm not a man, I'm a turtle Coming to you from the Madrona Hill studio perched high above the mighty Columbia Where it's another gorgeous Chucktober day

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

Friday the 13th, ooh, spooky. I think that's our contribution to the discourse on if, and we were doing the sound check before the show, Andrew noted the date and goes, oh, yeah, Friday the 13th. We were going to do something spooky, and then I thought, oh, yeah, I had meant to do something. So there it was. We just heard it. That was the TBTL Friday the 13th. The haunting of TBTL just happened. I hope you enjoyed it. Hope we all appreciated it. I hope we're all going to really appreciate episode 4053 in a collector's series. Let the fun begin. Well, let me tell you, my friends, I am going to be riding my mute button here at the studio because there is a lot of construction finally happening on the physical building that I'm standing inside.

Too loud and too specific.

I thought this was going to start earlier in the week, and then it was kind of a false alarm. But basically what's happening is having this kind of siding put up on the outside of the building here, the ADU slash studio that I'm in. And what it involves is a lot of sawing, a lot of compressors, recompressing themselves for nail guns, and then a lot of literally just attaching plywood and hardy panel to the wall that's in front of me. so it's definitely going to be it's going to be loud I'll try to ameliorate it as much as I can but it has me thinking I've got a few different kind of home related things I wanted to talk about including the fact that we found all of these old kind of receipts from a mercantile from 1909 I think the people that owned this house back in the day ran like the mercantile here in this little community so if you're curious about the price of eggs in 1909 I've got it for you. That's just going to be one part of a new segment that I'm rolling out called

This House Old. It's the story of a man with a brothel of a home and a pool filled with human

excrement. I've also come to some clarity on my whole door situation. I got a lot of emails from yesterday's show about where I should go try to find a door and what I should do. And I've taken none of that advice. I have come up with my own plan and I'm very excited about it. It involved buying an old piece of maritime equipment from england via etsy this morning so what an idiot we'll talk about that uh with this guy the longest running cobro of the show maybe best known for his depictions of the tall ships he is so ready for this weekend it's going to be jam-packed where are you adventuring to places i haven't been before he's andrew walsh and he's joining me

right now good morning my friend hey luke let's add to the discourse a little bit more here just for a moment if we can is friday the 13th spooky well it's cursed it's like a black cat walking under a ladder that's what i'm trying to figure out like it it's just hitting me right now because you know it's a

It's October. We're close to Halloween. Halloween, obviously spooky. I'm not arguing that. Well, there's that Pixar movie, Friday the 13th, where everything goes well. So that might be what's confusing the issue.

Well, no, that's what I was going to say is actually Friday the 13th was just supposed to be like an unlucky day, right? But then a horror movie named itself Friday the 13th, and now it is part of like more of a horror legend. But really, and I haven't looked this up because why would I? But I think, I mean, it's interesting. So that movie single-handedly made Friday the 13th kind of a spooky holiday when really it would just be like, uh-oh, you know, watch out for falling paint buckets.

Right. Like, in other words, the start of Friday the 13th, the original thing was like you're holding a piece of toast and you drop it and it lands on the jelly side down. That was before the 80s. I'm trying to, by the way, figure out how to talk and mute.

It's just like you have work going on. There's some hammering. It's okay. Like, just don't try to mute your way around that. I think that'll be a, I think that'll just add to the, that'll make it worse. I like it. It gives us a sense of space.

It's what they say when you find yourself in a hole, stop muting.

Yeah, when you find yourself. The only way out of it. Yeah, no, don't, don't, and I'm not just saying that, like, honestly, like, whatever.

So we've all heard hammering before. We were doing the sound check, and you were just, because you got some new equipment there, and you were double-checking something, you were playing yourself back, And all I could hear was the tremendous rattle going on here by way of your recording. But anyway, point is, what you're saying, and I think this is actually an interesting kind of observation about Friday the 13th, is that, yeah, it used to just be like you're going to step in a mud puddle. It's an unlucky day. And then Jason Voorhees showed up and really changed the game.

Is that his last name, Voorhees?

I believe so.

I'm not just playing.

Interesting that he has a last name, too, by the way.

Really?

Are we confusing him with other guys in hockey masks who are that murderous? It's for tax purposes.

I mean, you do need to be planning for those kinds of things. I'm not just playing.

What's the 401k look like for Jason Voorhees? You have a matching from the company? Are you planning for retirement?

It has been probably talked about on the show before, but I really cannot. I honestly thought Friday the 13th was the dream one. This whole conversation I thought is the guy with the long knife blades on his hand. Best Nightmare on Elm Street, right?

Best Nightmare on Elm Street. That's Freddy Krueger. He also has a last name. Does the Texas Chainsaw Massacre have a last name? Massacre. Yeah. Like, is he the only guy that doesn't get to have, does Jigsaw from Saw have a last name? Jigsaw Johnson, do they have a last name?

I'm picturing like an accountant sort of, or an auditor sort of with the glasses down on the nose, like looking up. Okay, Mr. Slaughterer. Or wait, I'm sorry. What is it? massacre great great landing there walsh so anyway yeah everybody watch out don't drop your toast don't step in any puddles but aside from that you don't have to worry about freddy today

no um freddy is doing his well you have to worry about freddy tonight jason tonight freddy oh freddy anytime you go to sleep anytime yeah every night is friday the 13th when you're talking about the robert england character freddy krueger oh yeah ironically

shared an accountant for a while literally didn't even mean to set it up that way

anyway we ended yesterday's show with me saying Andrew that I had purchased I can't imagine you're able to hear that, that one's pretty quiet hear what? huh? what a leaf blower? the nice part is when the banging stops then the compressor starts recompressing itself but I bought this one of the things that's going on around here uh in the real house and out here is i haven't quite figured out how to keep the bugs out there's a lot of things a lot of windows and sliding doors and things that don't have screens yet so even though things are coming along pretty well here uh there there's often like a fruit fly buzzing about or even a bee of some kind or a fly and so i bought one of those tennis racket

zapper things oh did it come in a two-pack hannah's got one of these she said it came in a

two-pack yep came in a two-pack Andrew so I've actually got one for out here and one for in the house I thought it was one for your buddy Andy well how about one for you one for Genevieve at your house when you buy your own two-pack well I like gifts so like I have to say though yesterday right when the show ended there was a yellow jacket in here and so I was all excited it was the first is my inaugural voyage with this and people know what I'm talking about this is this little shocker thing it's got a mesh of metal and a button on the side and when you press the button it's electrified and it should be enough to end the life of a insect so this yellow jacket was was flying around it was actually sitting on the window and I was like finally I got a chance to use this thing so I press it down I put it over the yellow

jacket he's like dude what are you doing and he flies back into and he gets zapped but he's not dead it was not enough zap i think this is probably more for like a mosquito or a fruit fly so now this yellow jacket and i want to tell you i have absolutely no love for yellow jackets they're they're the bane of camping they don't produce honey they're not honeybees they just they they're just kind of a hassle they don't as i can tell really they don't pollinate things they're just kind of annoying but i felt so bad for this freaking yellow jacket that was now by the way also trapped inside the between the two layers of metal or whatever it is so what i had to do was press the button down and wave it frantically so as to finish the job on him at which point i start smelling i didn't know that sorry to start the show on this note but like it was like it it was the smell of burning hair or burning flesh because you know it's this is a small life form but it's a life form nonetheless and so then it was so finally it's dead but now it's stuck in there because i don't know i couldn't it just was wedged in there so now i'm getting like a like a pencil and i'm trying or a pen rather than i'm trying to dig this poor yellow jacket out when all i had to do was get a paper towel snag him off the window and chuck him outside Problem solved. It was so much more work to try to zap him with this thing. I was all excited about it, but now I feel it feels cruel and unusual.

You still did better than a Texas correctional facility would have. Well, that's true. It's a low bar.

The wasps, the yellow jacket asked for 17 Jell-O puddings and a large pepperoni pizza before I zapped him.

Aside from that, have you used it on smaller insects?

I'm thinking tonight might be my chance. When I got the idea to buy this was when, so me and my dad have this little tradition of sitting around that like solo stove that I have at night and throwing, because there's just like the amount of wood, Andrew, like just wood scrap that is being generated on an hourly basis at this house is ridiculous. And so we'll sit out there in a couple of camp chairs and just chuck little pieces of wood into this solo stove.

Okay, can I interrupt for a quick second? I think it's relevant. I'll allow it. Thank you. I'm not just interrupting to make a really bad joke that doesn't land like I usually do. That is the name of this week's Hey Dummies video, by the way. Please approach the bench. That's not why I interrupted you, though. So you live out there. I know you have a bigger fire pit, too, and I assume that you have some pretty big chunks of wood. I'm curious if you just burn the small stuff and then later on you're going to when you can light the big fire pit, you can throw the big stuff in there. Or are you cutting down wood so that it fits in the solo stove? I'm asking because we also have a solo stove, but we don't have the secondary big pit. So like right now, somebody is redoing our deck, and we're going to have a bunch of extra wood that we're going to have to burn probably next year. God, your project is much quieter than mine. It's on the other side of the house. But I'll have to cut that wood into small, manageable solo stove chunks.

I think this wood was already in sizes that would fit in the solo stove. my dad might have when I wasn't here ripped some of it down with the chop saw but I think it's just we're just kind of always keeping our out for scraps that are burnable versus larger sections that um will be uh chucked up on yeah it's I don't have a fire pit that's the other problem I just have a flat spot on this kind of gravel driveway area where I pile stuff up and burn it but I am I'm both I love this bonfire thing but I'm also very nervous about it because I didn't grow up doing it i told you the other day that i lit this tree on fire and it immediately started pouring black smoke on my neighbor's yard and even the there's no burn ban out here everything is green i know it's intellectually i know it's not a fire hazard but i'm nervous around the whole

operation and that was an evergreen too right so it crackled up in a second am i right about that

yeah it was imagine kind of like a mini christmas tree yeah like it was it was probably about five feet tall and kind of bushy um but uh like and so then I'm immediately texting me like I'm so sorry about the smoke like I think out in this part of the world everyone is burning massive piles of shit all the time but I'm still like wouldn't it be my luck if I lit Brian's house on fire with this thing so I'm still kind of getting getting used to it um in fact my dad was like well you know what you're throwing their little motor oil that'll get it started I'm like that can't be legal there is no way it's legal to burn motor oil I don't care I've never even heard of that

I mean, a little bit of maybe a little bit of gasoline if you need to, but I've never heard motor oil.

That's my dad. I think and listen, don't hold it. He's a you know, he's from a different generation. So all you earth first people just take it easy on old Walt B. But I feel like motor oil is kind of his go to solution for a lot of things that seem questionable to me. Like I'm going to have a stump. so I have a just huge stump that needs to be removed and I had I'm hiring a stump grinder have you have you heard of this process stump grind I've had to get rid

of a stump before it was in my front yard in New Hampshire I know that there were services or techniques you could use where you drill into it and drop some sort of poison so it rots from the inside we did not do that I think we ended up cutting it as far down as we could and then tried burning it actually I can't quite remember. So what are you going to do with a grinder?

There's a guy that shows up with this particular tool. That's just this big kind of saw type of device, but it's literally designed for grinding down stumps. And then it just turns it into mulch. So all of that.

So it goes into the earth. It grinds down into it or it just grinds down. So it's just,

it's just chopping it up. It's chopping the stump and chopping the stump. By the way, good news is the stump is the stump is the only thing closer to me here than the wall that you're hearing banged upon right now. meaning when the stump grinder guy is here that will be a whole other oh is that gonna happen

during the show oh i wish you could see it though is it gonna videotape it is it gonna turn it into

mulch it is it's gonna turn into there's gonna be a little bit of steve buscemi in there but it's mostly gonna be mulch it was a fargo reference um but i think it basically so so it's this device that like grinds up the stump and then just like and then sort of directs all of the chipped up wood the mulch as you will uh if you will into this some kind of big containment device then i get free mulch i guess um but my dad was like oh yeah well when you have them grind that stump down he's like ask your neighbors if they have any leftover any used motor oil you pour that down in there i was like pour it into the hole and he was like yeah that's uh that's what you do for some i don't know if it keeps it from growing back or it keeps the the roots that are still down there from like rotting in some way because if they rot then they're then you then suddenly at some point the ground will collapse again because imagine you have a stump and it's got these roots yeah and then you grind it all out but there's still organic matter underneath the like lawn maybe if you i don't all i know is he was like poor motor oil in there i was like don't do that no i was like what are you dick cheney the name down you know i even said like

okay i've heard of using a little gasoline to start a fire but honestly like i don't even recommend that some of the fun the i think the most fun part of a bonfire is getting it started having to start there's something about having to start super super small even for a really big bonfire having to start super super small with some newspaper and the smallest twigs you can find and then within and at first being like this is ridiculous and then within you know five minutes you have a conflagration like i i love that you don't need accelerants but also like in this case i having just felt bad for suggesting gasoline on a fire myself um i love that you said you're gonna have somebody come out and just like grind this thing back into nature without any kind of chemicals like that please do not pour oil down there motor oil kills tree stumps i'm looking at

what youtube says now how to use motor oil to kill a tree stump tutorial oh by the way andrew i had this idea a while ago totally no listen this guy knows more about shit than anybody on planet earth what if i just play this in the background while they're banging does this make does this take the

edge off a little bit it'll maybe create cognitive cognitive dissonance then i'm zapping a bug i think you're going the wrong way i think you need something really

percussive do you have any blue man group do i that you want live from montreal that do you want

the vegas residency what do you want that's what'll make this more listenable the blue man group I just blew myself, Andrew.

By the way, I can't, I really cannot over-recommend the music of Grieg, of Edvard Grieg. This, of course, is from Pierre Gint. The beginning of Pierre Gint is incredible. This is the most famous part of the piece, but the beginning is really something. You think the estate of Edvard Grieg is going to potentially flag this?

It could be the—I've seen this before. They can identify if it's a copyrighted orchestral performance. Because the music itself might not have a copyright anymore, but a performance by a specific orchestra does.

What if it's orchestral, but I'm doing the maneuvers in the dark?

Ah, well, then you might be able to get away with it, because they won't be able to see who's doing it. Right, exactly.

That's kind of the cool thing there. If you leave, don't leave now. Please don't take my heart away. Were you an OMD guy as a kid?

No, even as you say that, I don't know if I know that song. I was looking for some... See, like, here's some...

Oh, yeah, this is good.

Now if we play this music...

So you're saying mask the construction music with the music of the Blue Man Group.

Yeah, this is... The Drums of Drakkar. Sure, Drakkar Noir. Liking in medieval music. Oh, but is this Blue Man? No, I didn't look for Blue Man group. I just looked for percussive music. Oh, okay. Anyway, is this making the show better? I don't know. Probably. Were you starting to say something and I interrupted?

I was just going to say that I'm not pouring motor oil into the stump. But, of course, when we Google it, it is a thing people do. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, it wasn't really though. i sort of said this i've said this probably about three four different times in the last few weeks as my dad's been out here working a lot but it is it's truly shocking to me the things that he knows about related to just like the physical world of construction of of of getting rid of a tree stump of just like you know and then it's funny because and there's another thing i've said a lot over the past months but it's like today i've got there's a couple guys out here working on putting up the paneling on the on the studio my dad is carrying like various debris out of the house as he's in there working away and then it's like and then just this little lord fauntleroy little lord podcast roy just kind of like sashays out to his little room and then stands here at his microphone talking to his buddy and it's what's funding the whole operation it makes no sense it is a and i i i am the i'm the least able of anyone to believe this is a real job when there's so much real work going on around me as we speak do you want to hear do you would it be

helpful if you could just mute your microphone for a few minutes while i tell you a little story that that happened to me last weekend that seems kind of tbtl-y and uh i didn't want to force it into the show but i thought you know this is something that i think you'd have some thoughts on uh as far as somewhat awkward encounters with strangers it seems like it's kind of in our wheelhouse and this one and and also like etiquette in a in a crowd because i went as i mentioned to the um to the death cab for cutie show with postal service and the beths opening up last weekend and it was yeah how was that i never we never got a full report it was great it was just i mean it was fantastic again i couldn't believe that the beths were opening like that i found out the day of and it's just like another one of my favorite bands by the houses why am i muting my mic if you're going to i just saw it was still playing in front of me i just wanted to see where we are in the drums of dracar um anyway so um do you remember dracar noir yeah the commercials the clone i couldn't i don't remember the scent but it was without uh hurting any feelings here it was like kind of uh the scent of it it was kind of a cheaper cologne but a very popular cologne right so it's the type of thing where like certain kinds of guys would wear way too much of it wasn't it kind of a pre-axe body spray kind of phenomenon i don't know the price point of dracar noir i

i the lowest price point was called preferred stock by stetson which i wore because it was like seven dollars at craigen's pharmacy i don't know where dracar noir was but it loomed large in my mind because they played so many ads when i was a kid and then there was also a ton of ads for something called davidoff cool water and the guy in the davidoff cool water commercial he's standing in the water but he's of course impossibly buff and it's like he's gonna dive in the water but he doesn't and i think it's because they wanted because it was called cool water they wanted the guy in the water but they didn't want him diving in because they wanted you to see how buff he was so he's just standing and he's kind of putting his hands up over his head like he's gonna dive but then he doesn't and um i never wore either of those things but they that they again they they they were a big thought in my mind because i would see those ads constantly these dracard

and war commercials have some really buff guys too they're like doing um archery now this is the blue man group yes it is within the black there is a power Drakon Noir, immense fragrance by Guy LaRoche Paris. Oh, by Guy LaRoche Paris. The power.

The Drakon Noir Performer Score Collection. Your gift for a $20 purchase. Available at Dillard's. Available at Dillard's from Guy LaRoche Paris. I love it. That's so fucking good.

Dillard's.

Okay, so back to your story, and I'll just mute myself. Okay, please. But if you want to play a different construction sounds at your house, that's fine.

That sounds good. For years, I've been trying to get you to mute your mic. The show was at the Climate Pledge Arena. I hate that we don't have a better nickname for that. The Kledge. It was at the Kledge. Oh, God. I'm going back to Climate Pledge. And so I don't think you've seen a rock show there, Luke. Nope.

I haven't been there since it was remodeled. I haven't been in the new version of what was Key Arena in my youth.

Yeah, and people can imagine, you know, your kind of typical ice, you know, NHL.

Rink you could have basketball games there where they're a basketball team here and for rock shows they set up a stage so if it's kind of an oblong shape the stage would go at you know kind of one of the narrow ends and ours so that means you're kind of turning in your seat most people's seats are looking down at like what would be the ice right center ice right and they're going to have the stage is going to be at one end or the it's at one end yeah exactly so so you naturally everybody would kind of turn in their seats or if you're standing you know kind of turn to face the stage so we had what I thought to be like really great seats not that they were super close or special in that way in fact they were kind of farther back from the stage like kind of along the along the the edge of the arena if you can imagine it but what I liked about ours is I had an end seat Luke so I wasn't like jammed in between strangers in the middle of a row somewhere I always want an end seat and also ours were the very last row and it doesn't really matter like in the lat whether you're in the last row or the front row in the section we're sitting you're still the equally distant from the stage if that makes sense you know yeah so I like being in the last row because I could stand without having to worry about whether or not there are people behind me that I'm blocking like it just was great and so as soon as Death Cab started I think I stood for

their whole performance so let me ask a quick question it was it's death cab plus the postal service obviously those are both ben gibbard products um was it like an hour of death cab an hour of postal service did they play the entirety of give up the postal service yeah yeah

they did so it was one of those um album concerts so they did transatlanticism oh wow i was wondering that's a that's a great night yeah i was wondering who would open for whom because postal service is really like the side project you know but it also has the biggest star power with jenny lewis and everything so i was like really kind of like well back in the day it seems like you'd open with postal service and then go to death cab for cutie but it was the opposite and it was really cool too

because i think the nostalgia factor too like i would be and i actually just saw death cab this summer at edgefield um and and it was a great show and everything but like i would be losing my mind to see them do postal service stuff because they i don't think they've toured in however 30 years

or something no no they did for the 10th they did the same thing for the 10 year anniversary which

okay well how long ago was that 10 years ago so okay so this is the 20 yeah yeah i think i guess my point is just the the death cab tour is pretty extensively i feel like the kind of novelty of postal service makes sense to me that they went second like that's what i would i guess what i'm trying to say is i would be more excited to see them do postal service than death cab at this

moment i guess yeah and also like but to hear the albums both all the way through you know track by track in order was a pretty you know that's always a pretty special thing so i was pretty excited about that so anyway um i sit for the beths and then i stand for postal i'm sorry but do you kneel for the flag sorry joke never gets old kneel for the flag um anyway and love and life everything is really good sometimes at concerts like this i feel a little bit claustrophobic sometimes i'm just kind of not sometimes i've had this issue at concerts before where i'm standing there thinking everything is good the music is good everything about this on paper is good but i'm uncomfortable for some reason and the music isn't hitting me right i don't know what causes that in me sometimes but anxiety probably but it's not usually like i mean it's anxiety the last time i felt that way was at the reggie watts nation of language thing but that wasn't like the crocodile and that there was a reason for that we were kind of that is claustrophobic up near the stage yeah and um it's the new croc it's a beautiful place but it's jam-packed full of people and you've got to fight your way back to get a beer and then fight your way through. Whereas, you know, usually I would just try to find I'm not usually like get close to the stage and wedge yourself in, find a corner further back and give yourself a little bit of breathing room. That's a me. Anyway, this evening is going really great and I'm really enjoying it. Death Cab finishes their set. The lights kind of come on and all the advertising comes on in the arena and we're talking to our friends and then I feel a tap on my shoulder. Now, we're in a section where we're at the very edge of a section. We can see the people in the section to our left, but there's like kind of a metal barrier, kind of a handrail. You're not supposed to go from one section to the other. They have different kind of points of entry where you have to show your ticket in a hallway. So this is kind of a neighboring section, and I'm at the edge of it. And somebody taps me on the shoulder, and I realize it's like, you know, somebody who works for the arena, one of the ushers or whatever, and she says, somebody wants to talk to you. Now, I didn't mention this, but there were some tens there who brought a lunchbox and wanted me to sign their lunchbox. And we had sort of arranged that earlier in the day. So, shout out. That was pretty cool. So, I thought for sure that somehow they, you know, like between.

sets somehow made their way to our part of the arena which was not the plan but immediately i'm just like oh this is this is some this this is our friend we wanted to sign the lunchbox so i feel a tap on my shoulders the usher somebody wants to talk to you i turn around i see somebody and it's um i'm gonna say a maybe a young woman in her you know maybe 20s or something kind of kind of kind of nerd glasses you know um seems like you know our kind of people and i and she's like hi and i'm like hi and i'm like so and i still don't know where this is going i gotta say like i'm not a celebrity but usually in the situation i'm waiting for her to say i just want you to know i'm a 10 but instead she says so when you're standing could you kind of just move your body like kind of keep your shoulders i know i know but could you keep your shoulders so that they're like kind of more parallel to your chair it's just like i just kind of can't see from where i am the way you're turning your shoulders and when i realize it's going that way i just like but the amazing thing is like 10 years ago how this would have affected me you gotta be kidding me how this would have affected me so much differently because here's like a kind person asking a nice thing not being aggressive not you know and even kind of saying maybe it's a somewhat ridiculous thing and all I did was I smiled I'm like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and I smiled and nodded just thinking like of fucking course I'm not going to do that and I think like not too long ago I would have been in my head about that I would I would have felt like somewhat hollered at or I would of felt like well now I can't enjoy the night because even if I want to ignore this I won't be able to get that person out of my head but honestly I was like oh that's ridiculous like fine this person asked it's there's nothing wrong in asking I'm not gonna let her somewhat odd request ruin my experience and so she didn't live in I mean every now and then I was like you know and kind of you know it's the postal service I'm not saying that I like cut a rug but you're standing you're having a beer you're swaying you're having fun you're getting into the music Like, like, I'm not I was not worried about how I'm positioning my shoulders. And every now and then I'd be like, well, I wonder how that person's time is going. And if I look good from the shoulder view, because I just like I just was like that is. And I was kind of proud of myself for being able to say that's a ridiculous request. I'm not, you know, you shot your shot. But the answer and also I didn't have to say to her, like, well, no, I'm not going to do that because I never had to see her again. And I'm like, she's going to learn during the show that, no, I'm not repositioning my shoulders while I'm enjoying this music. And I was, yeah, I felt like I was learning.

You were like, I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water and pictures of you. And I'm not sitting down till this is all over. Nice. That actually kind of worked as a thing. I just did. No, but Andrew, I am proud of you because honestly, I feel like I'm the more, I don't actually think that this is a surprise. I'm the more aggressive person of the two of us. I think at least outwardly and more prone to getting into it with people and just being obstinate and having easily getting riled up. But I think I would have, I don't know how I would have handled it. I don't think I would have handled it the way you did, which was exactly the right thing to just be like, absolutely, and then just go enjoy your concert. That's the best way to handle it. You don't have to tell them anything. I think I would have said, oh, okay. And then I would have gone, and then I would have still stood, but I would have the whole time I would have been living in the back of my mind. So I would not have sat down, but I also would not have been able to just enjoy the show and think, look, that person's gonna, I mean, I'm also guessing that they were physically able to stand. So, you know, this was on them. It wasn't that they were somebody who was in a wheelchair or anything like that. Like they just, I guess- No, no, they were in a wheelchair. They were just sitting and they just didn't want to have to stand up.

I guess no my guess is that she was also standing when she was just a shorter person I mean I'm you know I have to acknowledge like did you consider putting her on your shoulder and there much is in the wrong section you know there might be people listening I've had friends who are very short our friend Yelena was trying to invent some sort of boot that she could wear to concerts so that she wouldn't have to like you know this back in our 20s so that she wouldn't have to be constantly staring at the back of men's backs or whatever which I understand and like I want to be somewhat my hottest feature though so i mean but the thing is like first of all this wasn't like if this was somebody like let's say of her stature and i don't know i mean she didn't i'm not saying that if i saw this person walking down the street the first thing i'd say was hey that short person it'd be weird if i said that about anybody honestly but in other words like um i i didn't really take it all in until later i guess i'm thinking back i'm like oh well she's probably short she's probably been at a lot of concerts where it kind of sucks she probably paid a lot of money for her tickets like i don't want to be like thoughtless about those things but this is an arena rock show yeah i would have felt different if she was sitting next to me the whole time because then i would have had to like kind of in my head like you know kind of rectify the fact that i'm either totally ignoring her i don't think i'd be able to do that if she were sitting right next to me yeah also if she were sitting right next to me i'd say let's switch seats you know like i i wouldn't mind being a accommodating but like i can't be accommodating by just like trying to think about how i can position my shoulders so that somebody in a different section you know like like feet away from me god knows where she's sitting so that it's she has a slightly less obstructed view like it is what it is we didn't have perfect seats either and again it's not like i i had like the who is it it's not boog shambi that wrong guy booger uh who's the guy who has the booger mcfarlane yeah you didn't have that golf cart on the sideline that was go farland robot down the field yeah putting me in the in the in the way of people's view like it just was what it was i was like okay like yeah i understand that and again maybe this is a young person who when you're in a situation at the crocodile you make that request to somebody like me and i'd say well certainly get in front of me like you know i would always do that and maybe they're just sort of learning the etiquette of these things too but i was kind of proud of myself that i didn't i'm proud of you that i didn't feel put out like there was a time like and again maybe people will write to me and now this will ruin the story because i'll get in my head about this but it was really one

Don't ruin Andrew's Friday, everyone, by telling him about how we don't know what's going on with this person, okay? Because that way lies madness. Oh, no, of course.

Everything we ever say, like, we always get an email from somebody like, well, have you considered their health situation? I'm like, okay.

Right, and it's like, but here's the thing. Like, obviously, I'm with you. Like, if you're at a show, and let's say you're in the standing area, and there's somebody shorter than you behind you, and they're like, hey, you know, I can't see. My first thought would always be, hey, be sure to stand in front of me. Like that, that's a, that at least fixes a little bit of the problem, but the likelihood is there's another tall person in front of me. I've known very tall people who as a courtesy, literally try to stand at the back of things, but that's its own kind of a bad outcome. Cause it's like somebody who's on the shorter side, isn't in charge of that. And somebody who's on the taller side, isn't in charge of that. And I don't, that's usually me.

Like I'm saying in a crocodile situation, if I'm not with a crew, I kind of want to be in the back anyway. And also part of it is like, I don't want to be in people's way. Like that lives large in my head.

I don't know anyone who wants to be in people's way less than you, my friend, having been out in the world.

But in this case, it's like it's assigned seats. You're in a different section somewhere behind me. I don't even know where. Like it just wasn't it just wasn't reasonable. It wasn't rude, but it wasn't reasonable.

And that's the accommodations. The question is, is it a reasonable accommodation in this case? You know what? She was being unreasonable during unreasonable times. All right, let's thank some of our daily donors. These are the fine people that are supporting the program financially. It's why I'm inside here talking to you, Andrew, and not outside dragging construction debris around, which would be which was has always been my plan B. So thank you for helping me pursue Plan A, Michelle Hall of Long Beach, California, a.k.a. Strong Beach, home of Cal Worthington Ford in Long Beach.

Who's Cal Worthington Ford?

Worthington Ford. So there was a guy named Cal Worthington. We just, by the way, had this conversation like a month and a half ago, so I'll keep it brief. Just out of, in the interest of the listeners not having to hear me once again go on a Cal Worthington rant. And Cal Worthington was a used car dealer guy who had these real kind of crazy ads. I will stand on my head to make a deal. And he had a Worthington Ford in Federal Way when I was growing up in Seattle. But then when I moved to L.A., I learned that he was actually, I think, got his start in Los Angeles in Long Beach. Because I heard Snoop Dogg doing the commercials for Worthington Ford.

Okay. Oh, yeah. I remember those commercials when I was in L.A.

But my mind exploded because imagine I'm growing up and I'm thinking Cal Worthington, Worthington Ford and Federal Way, the only way. Like, I was like, this is a guy from Seattle. Yeah. Like Jack Roberts, Linwood Home Appliance, like these hyper local, like whatever the Cleveland, you know, equivalent was for you. And then I go to L.A. and like my first day, I'm listening to the radio, driving somewhere. And it's like, Snoop Dogg, I'm here for Worthington Ford. And he's doing a rap about Worthington Ford. I'm like, how does he know about Cal Worthington?

Now I remember that. When you say Cal Worthington Ford, it sounds like he's like the... Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm the Cal Worthington Ford Professor of Economics.

It's really called... Yeah.

The Cal Worthington Ford Professor of Economics at Wayne State University. Yeah, right? Doesn't it? I mean, there's something about the rhythm in which you said that it sounded like a distinguished person who then...

Or, I'm brought to you by Cal Worthington Ford for a more just, equitable, and verdant society. no you're absolutely right and it's not that i also misstated the name it's just called worthington ford okay it's just called michelle hall andrew of long beach thank you michelle then we've got lindsey randall checking in from nashville i think we had a nashviller

nashvillian we did yesterday yesterday yeah we certainly really starting to we should do it

oh man i don't know if we get enough people to show up Wouldn't it be fun to do a show in Nashville?

It certainly would. We should play some. Do they ever play music in Nashville? We could start a band. I don't think so. Let's be the podcast that brings music to Nashville.

That's it. That's our million-dollar idea, Andrew. That's our idea. Bring music. They call Nashville the quiet city. Quiet City USA. We're going to change that. Yes, we are. Matt Wilson is in Richmond, Virginia. Ah, okay. We had a Richmond, but a different Richmond. earlier this week i believe uh richmond virginia is where matt is thanks matt appreciate you todd tinker over there on bainbridge not far from where that fireworks show went off that we were talking oh do you think are you implying todd saw it do you think todd is the anonymous rich person

who paid for those mysterious fireworks wow i'm saying todd it's a generous donation but i mean

if you got fireworks money yeah it's just we know there's no i'm just saying there's no ceiling on donating to tbtl that's what i'm trying to say thank you todd also hey brock goodman i believe dr brock goodman is in san diego california thanks doc doctor of teeth outside bone oh outside

bones i think brock might be an orthodontist i did not remember that but brock is a very familiar name has been sure emailing the show and donating for a long time now thank you brock appreciate

you uh and then katherine mcintyre is out there in shoreline washington nice not far from me at all i visit that's where you like to illegally uh dump your stuff right um come on man one time i have to lean into one of the only times that you break a rule i mean i have to i have to savor

the flavor there is a there's a little i think this is in shoreline the um the the costco is in shoreline right technically or is that technically edmunds because on the corner of aurora yeah as you turn and i'm pretty sure this is shoreline as you turn into the costco there there are two funny signs now they've removed one of them there's a little shopping center a tiny little strip mall thing and one of them is a poke place but yeah you're right it's listed as shoreline andrew yeah and um they've taken this sign down because i think too many people probably took photos of it and put it on instagram and i don't want to be like culturally insensitive here but whoever made this sign was trying to have some fun with the word poke and like kind of turned the o into a bowl with little things coming out of it so it looked like puke so it looked like puke so that was one and then it's next to a vape shop that just has these signs all around it that says

vape is future and so it's well you know what favorite you know what would be in my future if i vaped puke just vape up a big storm and then puke that'd be me um well thank you to our donors uh for today for keeping tbtl going we absolutely could not do this without you hello and welcome to top story all right a couple more quick uh house bits of housekeeping andrew literally talking about this house um one is that when we were taking down one of the walls taking the sheetrock off the wall we found this huge stack of receipts from a mercantile and uh in the neighborhood it's got the name i'm not gonna i mean people a a i don't think people probably care that much to come find my house b it's probably locatable on the internet but c i don't want to give the specific micro neighborhood because i don't know why i'm just being weird i guess but like basically this little there's this little neighborhood that i'm in and this has the name of the neighborhood and then it says mercantile and it's i think that the people who owned the house ran the mercantile because they have all these receipts and a lot of them are from there's no way they were buying eggs on nine four of 1909 and then on nine five of 1909 and then nine six i think these are the like carbon copies of the receipts for people that would come

into the mercantile when we say mercantile i picture fabrics but i don't know if i'm right

about that what is a mercantile I think my sense of it or mercantile mercantile yeah is it like more of a general just general store well I'll tell you what they sold here eggs oh okay flour so this one they sold uh you know foodstuffs in but I get I have the sense that this was the kind of place and I'm gonna see if I can find a picture oh you know what Andrew hmm fast forward 30 years This is 1939, now I'm reading the receipt Oh, this is so funny So it says, I'm going to take a picture of this Which then I guess is going to give away the neighborhood It's called Carol's Mercantile, whatever, who cares So Carol's is C-A-R-R-O-L-L-S Which is kind of a way of describing

describing this particular area of of roads and houses and it says you broke pretty quickly on that by the way nobody offered any pushback it's a fix i know but i it's i just you know andrew the specificity of this is what's interesting i'm with you i'm with you and

i don't like being i don't like being overly vague i mean look if someone if someone was going to use that information they've already googled me and it's all over so um i'm going to take a picture of this and send it to you it's fascinating to me so it's like carol's mercantile And then below it, it says R.A. Connell, or Connell, and then it says Carroll's Washington, 9-4, and then printed, so it says, it's 193, so it's 1930-something. And this person is written in nine. So this was like, these receipts, or whatever you want to call them, were good for an entire decade of time. They were good from 1930 to 1939, because all you filled in was the final digit. Oh, gotcha. Of the year that you're in.

and um uh and so just to be clear here because i've looked it up i want to say i don't know why i had fabric on my mind but it's a it's just a general store it's an old-timey word for a general

store well because here's why probably because in little house on the prairie they would go down to the mercantile to the olsons and then they were always buying fabric and stuff so they like the the olsons mercantile there in in in walnut grove or was that what was called yeah i think so you would know better than me but they were selling um they were selling fabrics and stuff this is i'm going to take a better picture than the one i'm trying to take right now i want let's see flash on flash off there's so much light you can do that i want to send you a picture so you can

know oh okay not just for the show pic but also because so i can see it right now okay i'll take

a better picture of it later i'm gonna send you a picture right now of this thing anyway um it just kind of fascinates me because it's there are some things that are more expensive than i thought they would be even in 1939 yeah and then some things are very very cheap let's see here it's also a little hard to read because these are the carbon copies these are almost 100 year old carbon copies of something someone wrote eggs 1939 and I guess we're gonna assume a dozen eggs it just says eggs 30 cents oh 30 you're

saying $19.39 I'm like wow those have actually come down considerably how many

cents did you say 30 cents for any sense for a dozen eggs that's good is that is I mean, would that be a good price right now? 30 cents for a dozen eggs? That's one banana, Michael. What could it be?

No. I don't know. What are eggs? $5? Remember there was that big egg shortage a while back, so eggs were very expensive. But let's see here. In Seattle, Washington, the price of 12 eggs, $5.08. Look at you.

See? I'm in touch with the world. Check this out. Okay. This one I think is nine Maybe six of 1939 so September 6th 1939 a day that will live in infamy Somebody came in and bought Let's see one salt for 10 cents Oh for hot sauce for 20 cents. What do you think hot sauce was in that then?

Yeah, how is it how is hot sauce? You don't think of it as something that was very popular back then. Yeah, no

I mean was it like yeah wonder and it seems like people didn't even in I would I should say sort of white people in America in the 1930s don't seem like a hot sauce crew you

know it was probably more of an ingredient for something then as opposed to something that you're so you know putting on the table for people to

apply to their food one bacon was 33 cents I'm guessing that was a pound of bacon oh duh there's a there's a hashtag Andrew so that's gonna be oh yeah okay Okay, so a pound of flour.

One hashtag bacon. I'm not laughing at you. Was it trending?

You know what's trending right now? Hashtag bacon.

I'll bet you it is. Has hashtag bacon ever not trended?

Sorry, 10 pounds. Okay, oh, this is great.

Whoa, 10 pounds of bacon?

10 pounds of flour, 49 cents. Oh, okay. Oh, wow. Wow. 10 pounds of flour, 49 cents. Let me get my... I've got actually some sound effects for this. Oh, my goodness. 10 pounds of flour, 49 cents. One pound of bacon, 33 cents One pound of salt, 10 cents Four hot sauces, 20 cents One Eengoms, 12 cents Ten pounds of sugar, 59 cents A pot roast, 95 cents What? And then this is the one I sent you, by the way So you can actually, you can score along at home, Andrew

you've got this now at your house um oh you did something weird where you you texted my email i think well i know you like it in email andrew i know how no but it's strange like it came in from

your phone number now it's yeah because i have it because i just i know that it's easier for you to

deal with oh this is a great picture yeah no this is great can you want to use that for the show pic yeah can you remind me where you found this in the wall of my house there's like 50 of them and they were being I'm going to do it. used like kind of as some sort of like quick insulation or something or so they were just hiding it no people just do this sometimes there was also a cut out of a christmas ham from a newspaper in the 30s i think i mean i've had this time i found this have you in your house in new hampshire did you ever do any kind of renovation where you took down uh this would actually be a really interesting uh listener uh participation segment uh email me if you ever found something kind of interesting in the walls of your house.

Yeah, actually call the voicemail line, I would say. Yes, thank you. Tell those stories there. I love playing people's stories. That's a better idea. 206-414-TBTL.

Yeah, because this is actually the most interesting thing I think I've found, but if you're taking apart an old house, it's not uncommon to find. People will put playing cards back there. People will sometimes just put some ephemera. It's like a time capsule. They'll just put a photograph or like an old newspaper or something, and then they'll go ahead and you know seal the wall up and uh i forget what it was but i feel like i found stuff at the seattle house um the one down in mount baker um and um and yeah so just there's something about i was actually these are pretty these are you know these are pretty brittle and old but i was like thinking of maybe trying to like frame a couple of them that'd be

cool yeah maybe like um yeah like a frame a couple in the frame together like done right yeah and then maybe put it up in the new kitchen that'd be pretty cool we're just like you know that'd be

really cool that's a good question like 10 pounds of flour 49 cents anyway so that's one thing the other thing i wanted to update folks on because i got i was really surprised how much uh feedback i got about looking for a door what i was saying yesterday was it's surprisingly hard to locate a uh sort of stylish front door uh anything that is not just the absolute most kind of basic thing at home depot where it's oftentimes those are like a kind of hollow metal door which are fine you know maybe that's something somebody wants those are probably relatively affordable but unless you're buying like a hollow metal door that's in the most standard of sizes from home depot you're waiting for uh weeks on end maybe months to get a door because most of them have to be built once you order it and so i had like gone to a few places around here i had been on the internet i was running into all kinds of trouble and then uh you said yesterday andrew that you and genevieve have been down to um you know places in south seattle which are like um you know uh like reuse centers and like you know um let's see reuse i think that's one of them three is just called reuse seattle rebuilding centers okay yeah reclaim it is another place that's down in portland so i um i heard from some listeners yesterday saying go to the rebuilding center on mississippi in portland i did everyone i did i went i also went to another place that was another kind of reuse and more like what i wanted i went to the habitat for humanity uh here near to me nearer my god to thee and uh the one that's by my house is just woo it's it's rough it's not like the things that you and genevieve have been to or like the ones i went to in portland this rebuilding center in portland is amazing would recommend right like they just have i mean they have kitchen cabinets they have it's so organized too they have all kinds of doors and all the dimensions of the doors are listed on the side of the door like they've got sinks i mean it's just it's a very cool place they did not have any doors that worked for what i'm trying to do in the specific dimensions etc um nor did the i went to another place out on foster in portland and looked around another really cool place um that was well organized so those places do exist and they are um and they're cool and they're something that i'm going to really avail myself of for some of the other projects around here but i had a as my mom would say i think maybe misquoting hayley mills in the parent trap i had a scathingly brilliant idea last night andrew which is me and my dad are going to build the front door and i'm going to put a porthole in it oh wow because so this house is you know it's like there's a kind of a nautical vibe going on

there's like you know there's an anchor there's like a big anchor when you drive down the driveway i'm giving as many details now if you can't find the house just look for the house with an anchor but um like because the guy that owned this before me most recently he's like a um like sea captain of some kind and so he had this anchor put in this big kind of like metal like it's probably six feet tall you drive past that when you're coming down my driveway um there was a big like stern wheel like the steering i guess it's like a steering wheel for a big boat that was in the the dining room of the house. And the only listing in the real estate thing that was noted by me was steering wheel not included in the sale. He really wanted the steering wheel. But there's like a nautical vibe going on. I'm like, it's going to be a fun project. So basically I sent my dad a picture of a door and I was like, I'm going to buy this kind of door. It's going to take like a month to get here. But then I'm going to buy a porthole and then I'm going to put it in. And he was like, we can build that door. Oh, okay. So my dad and I are together going to build a door and glue it together. And then I already ordered the porthole off of Etsy, which is so cool, Andrew. Like, I'm like, I've been sending this to everyone I can think of this morning because I'm so just besotted with the actual imagery of this thing. Let me see if I can, I'll find a picture of it and send it to you as well. Do you want me to email it from my phone? Whatever works for you. Okay. So I'm gonna put this Let's see here I'm gonna put this porthole My dad and I are gonna put this In the door I mean this is gonna take like This is a months long Project and process But when it's done It's gonna be so cool First of all It's gonna be one of a kind It's gonna be a door That me and my dad Literally made Yeah It's gonna kind of Fit thematically with the house It's gonna be the right amount Of quirk for me Like I don't like whimsical But I also don't like Everything to be totally standard So I think it's gonna be Oh and also The other thing was we figured out a solution for the fact that there was no lock on the house, which is you can actually buy a locking handle that goes on a storm door.

Oh, okay.

So we're going to put that on. So for the next couple of months.

And the storm door was strong enough. I think our storm door is just one of those really, really cheapo screen things. But maybe I'm picturing the wrong kind of door.

This one's got like, this one's a little more, it's only barely more solid than yours. And let's be honest, if somebody wanted to break in, they would just look for the house in Carol's with the anchor and they'd kick it through. But nobody would do that because we have good listeners. But did you get this porthole yet coming through?

Let me see. Did you get my porthole picked?

I know. Sorry. I hope that there isn't some Google system that's transcribing this. Oh, yeah. That's nice. So what is the origin of that? Etsy. I don't know. It's off of something called Chatter and Company, England.

But these are being constructed now or this is reclaimed in some way? Okay, yeah. That's what I thought. Okay, yeah. That's cool.

So that's the plan. I'm very excited. I want to thank everyone for their advice.

Because when you say that a port, I thought it was just going to be to looky-see out, but this could actually swing open.

It does, but you know what it involves, Andrew, is me doing something that's actually not – it's impractical, and it's not the most utilitarian approach. Because think about it. A porthole on – if you're in a boat, if you're on a boat, you're in the boat, and you're under – like you're near the waterline, and you want to look out, but you want it to be watertight. You have this porthole should be facing in where it has this really an ornate script that should be facing the inside. And then you can unscrew the portal. You can open it. Then you can close it again. But I want when someone comes to the house, I want them to see this thing I just sent you. So basically, I'm going to install it backwards.

I see.

You're not going to be able to open it from inside, which makes no sense. But I think it looks cooler.

No, and I think that does make sense because, honestly, the practicality of that, what you're proposing makes way more sense because everybody's going to see it. Everybody's going to walk up to see it. How many times are you really going to open up this window without a screen in the door?

Only if, like, maybe Andre the Giant and Mandy Patinkin show up with Wesley. I feel like – I don't know if Miracle Max had a porthole, but I feel like he did. I feel like he had something.

Oh, I feel like they definitely had some sort of a peephole that they slid across right when they saw who maybe that's what I feel I feel like I mean, I maybe that's what I should have gotten

Dang it. Is it too late to return this? Too blave. Anyway So I just want to let everyone know that I have That I have I've I've have I've happened upon an incredibly elaborate and time-consuming solution to my problem Which will now take much longer than just ordering a door off the internet would have but when it's done like legitimate like this is like legitimately giving me feelings because it's like I didn't a I didn't know you could make a door I thought only God could make a door Andrew isn't that the Ken Buck poem isn't that the Walt Whitman poem well

every time God opens a door he closes a window and he closes a porthole from the

outside which makes no sense weird but no like the idea the idea that we can like this will be like every time I go in the house when this is done it'll be like hey me and my dad made this like that's really like who made this louis uh somebody nobody had this who made this like the fact that like that will be something that we worked on together and that it'll be kind of weird and one of a kind but also functional hopefully and also related to the overall deal of the house like i'm i'm i'm very chuffed about this i feel like it's an it's like it's the perfect solution to to my problem now the question is when are we getting a new door and will and will you copy me and get a porthole on yours well it's so funny that um

you know as i mentioned briefly earlier in the show we're having the um the deck rebuilt right now and included with that now has been like the little porch steps they were everything around here as i've said a million times was kind of built really jankily and i know it was very common for any new contractor to come along and complain about the other people's work but like our carpenter was just like you wouldn't believe it he's like look at this he's showing me boards that go like diagonally for some reason he's like whatever but um i don't know if i told yeah i think i told you this before the show that there's like the porch part had the the boards going the wrong way so it was like kind of separate from the deck in this very weird choice and um are you playing the jazz

to cover up music no i'm playing this is the theme from this old house oh okay gotcha um it took me 20 minutes to find and download today and I'll be goddamned if we're not using it and and this guy

who's working our house it just was driving him crazy that he couldn't like kind of make it work with the same boards kind of blending the porch into the deck and then he's like I just can't do it and then I stepped out the other day and I saw that he found a way to do it and I texted him he's like yeah it was hard I'm not charging guys extra for that but we just had to do it right which is like the coolest thing to hear from somebody kind of working on your house right so absolutely and And he's like, and I look, I picture framed it too. And he kind of like did this thing. So there's also kind of a border on it. It's just like, it's a small design detail that I wouldn't have thought of. But of course, the second you see it, you're like, oh yeah, that's just like a finishing touch on this. That just like, just makes it look more professional and nice. And it's nice of him to be a perfectionist in this way. But the first thing Genevieve said when we came home and we sort of saw the progress, she was like, oh, we got to get a new door now. We've been saying that for a while. I told you, I saw Jessica's door, our friend Jessica had a nice door um and by the way I didn't tell you the full story when I saw so Jessica posted a photo of her house or maybe her house was in the background I don't remember what but this house that I'd been to before suddenly in this photo I realized wow Jessica's got a really nice front door and maybe part of that is being a homeowner now and kind of thinking like oh yeah our door is not as nice as Jessica's door I don't know but she has a really nice door when I saw Jessica the next time which I think was like at the Super Bowl party or something in february i said to her i'm like jessica do you is there a story on your door i said did you did you install your door separately on the house like did you go out and find that door and she rolled her eyes and i said why did you roll your eyes and she's like it was a whole thing when i bought the house they were so proud of the door like it's some special door that was shipped over from europe and they're just obsessed with the door i'm like well it's a nice door but it must be something like i don't know this is kind of like to to her maybe people are commenting on

her door all the time but anyway i'm siding with those people by the way she bought the house from yeah i mean as a person who's been trying to find a door it's a it is a whole thing and if you get the right one it's a it should be a point of pride well what i think i mean if we're being

totally honest i think you know jessica is a humble person you know what i mean and jessica has great taste in and and and and design and just but also does would not make a big deal of it so i think me complimenting her door was just kind of like oh whatever you know what i mean i think it was more of a kind of a humility thing but um yeah so anyway genevieve came home yesterday she's like now we really need a new door and i'm like i know we just talked about that for like a

half hour on the show today if you want me and walt to build you on weekend serious probably i mean all right i mean literally my dad could build you a door it would be weird if we had one with a port in this house because one of the other houses with nail polish that didn't work

one of the houses that we put a bid on not too far from our house more in the greenwood neighborhood um had a weird nautical bit to it up top on the peak did we already talk about this it had no but

i saw that i saw that on like redfin because remember i was i was riding shotgun with you on the house search was that the one that had the i thought it was like it was a red house Was it the one that kind of had just been remodeled and was kind of newish inside and stuff?

I think you're thinking of a different one. One that had a star, like a Texas star? Our realtor who's listening, Sarah, she'll know. Sarah, get at me. I'm always wrong about this stuff, so I trust her and Genevieve. I feel like those were different. No. You know what? Well, whatever. I think you're thinking of a different one, but I remember this one had a small little kitchen, but i really liked it because it was like had authentic cupboards and stuff like that seemed like well preserved but not just like kind of cheapo generic stuff but it was also very small the space didn't work for us but um it was a cool house but they had one of those big like kind of ship steering wheels up and kind of near the peak of the house facing out to the street and i remember like we're like well if we get it we're taking down that steering wheel um and uh and then somebody bought the house and i still passed that house quite a bit on my way to the grocery store And I don't know, like a year ago. i saw that the new owners had taken that thing down and i literally i took a photo of it it's

the wheel was literally sitting next to their garbage bins waiting for the truck that's great i you know that's it's a fine line i think between i mean everybody should just do whatever they want and whatever feels right to them but that's a for me there's a fine line between something having a little character and then a little too much kitsch for me yeah and i plan on

going over that line at some point with this house but well it's funny like like it's also my taste Like I see some folks like their living spaces on Instagram. I'm thinking of one person in particular, but I'm not going to call anybody out, but whose taste is so much different than mine. But because they are so dedicated to it, it works for them, you know, much more of a kind of a very eclectic, almost cluttered lifestyle. But it it works for certain people. But you can't go in for half measures with that shit. You know what I mean? You've got to commit.

Well, you really have to commit or not. Amy Sedaris. Amy Sedaris has this apartment in Greenwich Village that's kind of legendary because she's lived there forever and She's filmed things there and she puts pictures on Instagram and What I would say is and you know We were all at that event that I was able to do where I kind of moderated something with her and I mean She could not have been nicer and actually I like I text with her and she texts me back Which is she's the most famous person who returns my texts now, but what I will say is her the interior of her apartment is is it's the inside of an unquiet mind to me. It is so kitschy and patterns and all kinds of things, but it works because it feels like her personality. And she actually is like very committed to like, she has an aesthetic. I don't understand what it is, but it's not accidental. And it's not for me, but I love it. Like it's not anything I would ever do in my house, but I love seeing like where Tina, her rabbit lives and like all these different just shelves. And she has, you know, like these like pottery, like what do we call them, like fake meat. So like a pork chop, but it's made out of pottery, but it's painted hyper realistically. She has a whole like shelf of these things. It's all kitsch, but it's with so much intention behind it that I totally dig it, even though I would never do it at my house. Yeah.

You know what I'm really proud of right now? You sent me a photo that wasn't perfectly square, which is fine. I'm not negging you here. But instead of just putting black because on our website, the photos have to be perfectly square. instead of putting big black bars on each side of it i have spent the past half hour of our conversation like copying and pasting the texture of the rug that this receipt is laying on and because the texture is so complicated it blends together well i have just been doing some massive photoshopping to turn this photo into a perfect square without big black bars uh sort of uh what's the word when they do that for movies um uh letterbox yeah so i'm very proud of this i'll

I want you to know, I said it before you, but the delay made it sound like I was saying it after you, but I was saying it. Letterboxd. No, no, I said it.

I've been to Letterboxd. No, no, I said it when I woke up. When I woke up this morning, I said, Letterboxd.

Genevieve was like, you're having that dream again.

I did have some wacko dreams, including one with Ron Upshaw. We were in the back of a car together, and he insisted on sitting on my lap. He said he couldn't get comfortable, and so he's sitting on my lap. I'm like, Ron, there's a whole empty seat here. I'm sitting on it. So he kind of gets huffy, and I move out from underneath him, and I sit down in the empty seat, but then Ron won't sit in his seat normally. He's like, fine. But then he scrunches himself up so his back is to the driver in some weird way. I'm like, why won't Ron sit normal in this car? That was my dream.

I'll allow it. Please approach the bench. well that's kind of that's kind of sucks for me because my music for your weekend was going to

be the theme from night court damn it i was literally gonna make that joke not even making letterbox could you letterbox could you hear me typing i was getting the song ready to go i was gonna say my music for your weekend is uh the night court theme song wow gritty Gritty New York I assume this has got to be New York right Yeah

The subway Oh yeah yeah Lots of steam coming out of Steam coming out of You know manhole covers My one goal in life was to be a New Yorker And I never achieved that But I like being a Seattleite

Did I say a Seattleite Or I said Did I call myself a I feel like I called myself a satellite

But anyway No no you said Seattleite Okay good Alright let's do some music for your weekend I know you're having to think on the fly Because your night court Selection has been Maybe the reboot of Night Court What do you think the rebooted Night Court's theme was

I forgot that they did that For like a second

I heard I can promise you it's shorter right Because that's the whole thing that's happened to all Let's see Do you mind if I

No, go for it.

I'm just from TV Insider. Night Court, Melissa Rausch, reveals revival theme song's connection to the original. Let me see if I can get to the... This is... Let's see. They don't have the song? Let's see here. They just have the person talking about the song? That doesn't... No link to the song? Not that I can tell. TVInsider.com is really falling down on the... Let's see. Does the new Night Court have the same theme song? To keep the spirit of the OG Night Court alive This is the part of the show, Andrew, where I read you About the new Night Court theme song The series not only has the original star John Larroquette returning, but also the same beloved Theme song, a revamped version Created by Larroquette's son Benjamin Larroquette Oh my god

Well, that's what got me So I was Driving yesterday, you know something We talked about NPR, I think it was earlier this week Or maybe last week, and I kind of felt bad I don't listen to that much public radio these days for various reasons. I kind of slammed some of the programming I hear on it without calling out anybody, any shows specifically. But ever since then, I have coincidentally and I do think it's a coincidence or maybe a partial coincidence that I've been listening to a lot more just like over the air public radio. I think part of it is because of all the news of the world and these, you know, increasingly scary times we live in and wanting to kind of stay up to date on that stuff. but for for whatever reason public radio has been in the air and i've been listening to it and i turned on the car the other day and i only heard like the last two minutes of and also i feel bad it's been like more than a week since we mentioned eric degans on this podcast and that is not right he should be coming up at least once every five shows yeah but i heard the end of degans review of the new frazier reboot and i immediately thought like are they because one of the most iconic things about the original fraser well a lot of it was iconic but like was the theme song the weird kelsey grammar singing about tossed salad and scrambled eggs nobody knows why to this day but it's just iconic i'm just kind of like it would be interesting if they just used the same version same recording for the reboot i don't think anybody would do that because everything has to be new and has to have a twist to it i would have done that if i was the showrunner but of course i thought it was the most like and maybe they did i i don't know i didn't hear the beginning of the review but i loved like just the just the damning like the gentle the npr daggins way of just absolutely digging with faint praise oh you know what they say when you find yourself in a hole keep digging um i think keep digging is um but the just the way to like at the end of your review just absolutely destroy a project with just the utmost politeness he's talking about how you know I I tune in in the middle of this review and he's talking about how what the what the show is trying to do is trying to recreate some of the tension that we had in the first series between Frasier and his dad but now the tension is between Frasier and his adult son and that they're trying to kind of transfer that energy to the new show but it's clearly kind of not working and and Dagan says you know the the the we you would hope that maybe this this this crew would be able to gel and that the show would be able to be successful and kind of find the comedy footing that they're looking for but the big question is why is this being made and i'm just like yeah that is the question like to give a whole like kind of review where you're really trying to take a project seriously but then at the very end just being like but why dude i mean other than i assume kelsey grammar still has some debt related to his DUI from 1993 I don't know like there's no reason for this to be made

yeah I um I saw a when I was in New York one of the Times Square you know giant digital billboards was just like Kelsey Grammer and it's like he's back and I was like are you kidding me I can't think of one of these reboots that have actually been like honestly probably the most successful one would be roseanne aka now the conners minus roseanne i think that might still be like a kind

of a popular tv show because you have john goodman who is like you know he's a top tier talent but

like and and everybody else on the show too but like the rest of it is just such a nostalgia play i mean all of these things it feels like what happens is you reboot something you get a bunch of attention because people are like oh man i remember that and then they watch it for like one season they get four episodes in and then it just kind of quietly goes away i can't and i maybe forgetting something maybe the listeners will jog my memory i can't think of any of these reboots that where people are like oh my gosh they did it they like they figured out how to like because these things are so specific to a moment in time they're specific to where we were as a society they're specific to um where television was where the actors that were portraying the characters were and like it all kind of to get a hit show everything has to kind of work out and and then And then to try to

to just like sort of do it again later on and have it still sort of capture whatever it managed to capture in that moment just it seems like such an impossible thing to do and maybe i'm forgetting something but i don't think any of them have been very successful and it really it's you know time

marches on too so we're talking about these nostalgia reboots from the 90s but you do have like more modern things as well i mean i think community is still working on actually making a movie right like that was always the joke what was it oh shoot community heads are gonna harman heads are gonna have my hide for this but was it five seasons wow movie or whatever great alliteration harman heads are gonna have your hide but anyway and i think that the movie is actually coming

close to a reality now i bet you it will be good too it could be if har yeah i mean if harman is is you know is has his hands on the reins i i feel like the best i'm i'm not i have no examples to support this but i do feel like sometimes what these things can do like i thought the simpsons movie was good i thought the spongebob maybe they have to be animated i thought the spongebob squarepants movie was good sometimes i feel like you can pull off a cinematic version of one of these things there's something else that i'm totally forgetting that i remember watching the movie version of him being like oh that actually kind of delivered but maybe the difference too is all those movies i'm citing i think were created while the shows were still in production oh that's interesting and again i've only cited animated shows so i don't know if that extends out into

live action but like i feel like well um x files had a couple of movies but i can't weigh in on

what the public reception of those were right like i i i feel like i could see i guess i could see a universe in which the the folks that put community together and made it so funny could i think make a movie that would actually be entertaining and funny like i could see that

yeah i mean there's also so much fraught around around harman and and of course and then um you chevy chase who i thought was the worst part of that show anyway i don't know why they were like

i have no time or use for chevy chase at this point like he was a person who was famously unpleasant because he was on top of the world and because he was all you know he was a bigger he was too big for saturday night live when it was happening he was he was a bigger star than the show saturday night live was and i think he let everybody know that and then he kind of goes off and just fails miserably with like his talk show but then you know he does these these christmas vacation movies and these you know national lampoon movies which kind of do okay and but he just chevy chase just seems to me to be a very unpleasant person and and yet still has this kind of like cachet because like i didn't think he was i just maybe i didn't watch him closely enough in community maybe he was doing some really interesting work there but i don't know i didn't no i mean he

plays like a he plays a character a pretty despicable character anyway which i think got more

despicable as harman like probably wrote him as harman began to like actual chevy chase less and

less he makes that character for me it's sort yeah pierce good call um he also retroactively makes me dislike things sort of that i used to like i loved fletch like growing up i just loved fletch and i brought that into adulthood or whatever one thing that i always forget about chevy chaser i guess i should say one thing i didn't realize until somewhat recently probably the last time this came up on the show was like part of chevy chase's thing as a cast member on SNL was that he was a hottie like for me I was always just a kid like I don't know it was always just the people on SNL I didn't think of them in that way but that like Chevy Chase was a bit of a

sex symbol and I kind of and he was and in Caddyshack he's a he's a very conventionally nice

looking dude and I just I think because of my age like I was just like I don't know I'm a kid and they're adults like I just I don't know I didn't think of like him in that way but um all right let's do some music for your weekend if you don't mind I am going to don't mind I'm not sure if you are familiar with um a group called ammo back grew and they do a song called the drums of dracar oh that was my backup song sorry so this is my music for your weekend no i actually have been listening to a lot of music lately just like i go through these phases i told you like i listen to so much lebitard and other podcasts that i wasn't listening to a lot of public radio now i've been listening to a lot of public radio and also been really enjoying music i feel like this summer music really took a back seat for some reason to you know probably listening to baseball games and what have you um and so it's the music of julio rodriguez underperforming yes exactly um like a jazz so i have a little playlist going on here and so i actually have a lot of songs that i'm looking forward to playing for you over the course of the coming weeks i'm going to play this one though now i know you play a lot of big thief on this show i don't think you've played this song yet i you may have played something off of their newish record um which is i think called vampire empire and this is the title track off of it vampire empire by the band big thief i do want to say um i guess somewhat of a content warning or trigger warning after hearing this you will this song involves vampires yes the rest of the day you will go around singing you give me chills I have

had it with the chills you know this song oh yeah i love it so much you haven't adrian linker has never written a bad song oh it's so good you haven't played this on the show yet have you i didn't didn't look like we have so okay for everybody who doesn't know the song or or if you do know it enjoy it again it's if you miss it the first time it's new to you toss salad and

scrambled eggs it'd be nice if i could hear it does it start with a slow fade oh it does

Thank you. You give me chills, I let it with the drills I'm nothing, you are nothing, we are nothing with the pills I'm empty till she fills, alive until she kills In her empire, empire, I am Falling, yeah Falling, yeah I see you there rejecting all your earthly power Protecting and dissecting till you're emptied every hour There you go, Vampire Empire by Big Thief off the new-ish record, Vampire Empire.

I, you know, saw them this summer with Addie and Becca and my sisters, and it was so amazing. Amazing, and I probably talked about it at the time Lucinda Williams opened for them And for Big Thief And between Lucinda Williams playing Drunken Angel And Big Thief playing a bunch of stuff Off of New Warm Dragon Mountain I Believe in You Which is one of the most ludicrous titles For an album of all time I was just a mess I just started crying about midway through The Lucinda Williams set And didn't stop until Big Thief was done It was so much fun But so emotional for me, particularly to be there with my daughter, who, you know, we love all of that music. Listen to Williams and Big Thief a lot. But, yeah, big fan.

Can I correct one thing? I think I might be wrong about something. This is not on their latest record, which came out in 2022. I think this is an advance of their next record because I think this is just a single so far that doesn't seem to have an album attached to it.

Yeah, I just have seen it bouncing around on the Internet various places because the Internet knows that there's an Adrian Lenker did. a, I think it might be even associated with Tiny Desk, but it might have been during the pandemic. So she's not at like the NPR Tiny Desk thing. She's in an Airstream trailer. And if you're a Big Thief fan and you haven't checked this out, go just Google like Adrian Lenker Airstream trailer or Big Thief Unplugged or Adrian Lenker Unplugged. She plays, I don't know, it's a handful of songs in this, just this Airstream. It is one of the most beautiful performances of music I can think of it's just absolutely spectacular um big fan would recommend um so the music i wanted to play for everyone's weekend is a it's definitely from a little bit it's an early big thief work it's from probably the 1950s you know how i've been migrating all this audio this week and kind of trying to tidy up my my apple music the place where i keep all the drops and stuff and as i was doing that the other night i found this song that i love so much it's by eileen barton and the new yorkers it's called poco loco and the coco this is a song that i did not know existed let's say 10 years ago and carrie her dad is a real like old classic car enthusiast and jukebox enthusiast and petri do you know what petroliana is no or is it that can i take a stab at it is it the kind of

like decor that decor that you would see in like um like a coffee shop or something that really leans into the kind of route 66 era gas station stuff like he's got gas pumps and and like you

know um penzoi like basically like all that stuff that's called petroliana but like i remember going into his basement their basement and he had this working jukebox and i just hit like two numbers at random or like a number and a letter at random just to see the like little like 45 do its thing right and it was this song and I had never heard this song before and I just thought it was so great and then I forgot about it and then as I was moving music around and audio around I found it and I've been listening to it like crazy so that's what I'd like to play for folks it's Eileen Barton and the New Yorker

and the song is Poco Loco in the Coco. Can you play that intro?

They were sitting by the sea Neath a mango tree With a Mexicali moon above She looked at him And he looked at her Then he whispered these words of love I'm going Poco Loco in the Coco Poco Loco in the Coco I'm going Poco Loco in the Coco A little crazy in the head for you You got me putting pepper in my Jell-O Say goodbye instead of hello I'm going Poco Loco in the Coco Because of you I don't know what to do Mountains I'd climb, rivers I'd swim Nothing I would decline I'll even work once in a while If you consent to be mine I'm going poco, loco in the coco Poco, loco in the coco I'm going poco, loco in the coco A little crazy in the head for you

There you go, a little Eileen Barden I don't know why the line You got me putting pepper in my Jell-O Saying goodbye instead of hello I love that rhyme, I think it's very funny Yeah, it's good, it makes me want moco loco Oh, right

It always goes back to what you're gonna have for lunch Doesn't it? Getting hungry, I mean it's getting to be That I've had a couple cups of coffee

You've got me putting gravy on my spam You've got me Eating shelf-stabled ham

Are we doing that? I might be doing that Do you have a place that you go get your moco locos These days? Yeah, why am I blinking on the name of it It's in the, oh, is it over in Tangletown? I don't think it's technically Tangletown. I think it's on 5th, next to the 5th Ave tab. It's the one that's run by the local family, and it's still been going on for a long time. Good grief. It used to be one of my favorite places. I'm blanking on the name of it. I'll try to look it up while you

introduce this next time. The good news is the listener suggestion, there's a fairly long description from listener Laurel, so this will buy you time to figure out where you're getting your Loco Moco today. Moco Loco, I should say. Laurel says, hey, I want to recommend Ken Pomeroy for Music for Your Weekend. I found out about her when her songs were featured on the penultimate episode of Reservation Dogs. By the way, Andrew, have you watched Reservation Dogs at all?

No, I've heard it's just like one of the best shows on television. And one of our longtime listeners, I believe her brother is the showrunner or works on the show.

I did not know that. Yes. Or I knew it and forgot it. Dude, that show is so good. It is just absolutely It's so funny and watchable And human and great I cannot recommend Reservation Dogs Highly enough to folks But anyway, Laurel says I heard on the penultimate episode Of Reservation Dogs It's the kind of music you want to listen to as you gaze at the Columbia River and cry, oh perfect Thanks Laurel, Andrew will be getting his Mocha Loco and I'll be staring at the river and crying While the studio Shudders around me as people bang sledgehammers

into the outside at Kona kitchen by the way I'm so embarrassed I've been going to Kona kitchen for years it's one of me and Phyllis's favorite places I don't know why I blanked on it um it's but it's a hard no I was gonna try to make how could I possibly remember a Hawaiian no but you know

what I don't want to make that joke Andrew because that's I don't want to pile on my good friend Andrew and I also don't want to set up the dynamic where we roast each other when we forget things because I forget things so often uh I'm gonna go apologize to that woman I was blocking at the concert i've lost all self-esteem um laurel says i wanted to wait until her song cicadas was officially out but i can't wait that long also her newest single uh periodolia is also so lovely i hope you like it so i guess i'm not quite i'm not quite sure which one laurel is suggesting i think

you're reading this periodolia by ken pomeroy is that what we're playing here periodolia by ken Pomeroy okay somebody who looks like this is just a single and again probably waiting for the album to accompany it all right the perfect music to stare at the Columbia River and cry with which

is exactly what I'm gonna do for the next 47 hours until it's time to meet you on Monday morning and do the show we haven't even talked Andrew about this college football game tomorrow oh my goodness right I mean this could destroy my current relationship you realize that's right so this I'm dating Duck Dynasty, and I don't mean the people, the bearded guys from the South. I mean, everyone in Becca's family went to the University of Oregon. I think her grandfather, Thaddeus, Thaddeus, Oregon, founded the University of Oregon. It's crazy. Like, they're very Ducks people, and I'm a very Husky person. tomorrow the two clash and they're both undefeated and this is like ESPN's college game day um broadcast this week which is kind of a big deal and I mean I don't follow college sports but I know enough to know that that's a that's a big deal and so I picked up Genevieve on campus yesterday and even a couple of parking spots that I would usually wait for her in uh were blocked off with these cones that said ESPN college game day and there's just like some leftover equipment sitting there and I said hey look it's all happening she's like yeah you well you should see what they built on red square apparently they already have the entire um the entire set built out on red square right now which made me think like they must have a lot of security at night huh a bunch of college kids like why wouldn't you like get drunk and try to do a i don't know a beer do a vlog dive off of that or something yeah yeah i mean the thing is not to get too

sports before we get into ken pomeroy but like what i will say is when i was a kid growing up The U-Dub trounced Oregon regularly because in the 80s, the U-Dub was kind of one of the one of the best teams in the pack. Then it was the Pac-10, I think. And so I grew up just thinking Oregon's not good at football. The U-Dub is good at football. And then, boy, the fortunes turned. And then there was a couple decades where it was the total opposite. Oregon would just thump us every time. And now it's kind of moved back into a little bit more of a rivalry. We got them last year, I think. but what I can say is in the last 25 years I can't think of a time where both teams were really good and Oregon didn't break my heart so I'm kind of doing that thing I think that you do Andrew which is I'm kind of going in assuming the Huskies are going to lose

I honestly don't think

it's the most unhealthy way to protect yourself I'm kind of already I'm already I'm shielding my heart a little bit because there have just been I mean it started with when Brock Huard's brother, Damon Huard, threw an interception at the, we were on like the five yard on our listeners who are Oregon fans will remember this play. The UW had just, this is cinematic. The UW had dominated Oregon for so long. And then finally, Oregon, they got all this Phil Knight money. They built this fancy new stadium and locker room and they were getting better, getting better players. And still the Huskies were kind of the big team on the block, I think. And there was a game and I remember, I think I was in a card room. I think I was in Diamond Lil's card room in Renton, maybe, or I was maybe it was in L.A. I remember I was gambling at the time, like literally playing poker, and I was watching the game and Damon Huard. I think it was Damon Huard through this pass all the way across the field. So it was the kind of thing where we're on the five, but he's throwing a pass basically east and west that has to travel like 30 yards and it gets picked. And the guy from Oregon runs it back for 95 yards and Oregon wins the game. And the balance of power shifted in that moment. and we've never gotten it back we won last year but i never feel like we are like the huskies are technically rated one spot above oregon this game and we're playing at home those are reasons you should think the huskies might prevail that gives me zero confidence like i've just been crushed by this oregon team for so long and so thoroughly that i just i'll be kind of surprised if the

huskies win but i sure hope they do but generally speaking it's more fun when both teams are competitive right even though it might hurt you more because like yeah no no i'd rather this than

oregon's coming in as the number two and we're unranked like or or or vice versa i mean would

you i mean maybe i got this wrong but like one thing that as as i somewhat mature not not like my actions are more mature um but as i as i have watched sports more and more in my adulthood one thing i sort of realized is like there was a time when just that just the logo of the 49ers would make me see red right because of just like the the rivalry there but then the 49ers really kind of weren't much to worry about for a while and so i kind of stopped caring and then i also started to almost feel a little bit of sometimes empathy for the fans or something and now they're getting really good again and i'm just like oh those 49ers it's kind of like when when the other team when you dominate them for so long you also kind of stop caring a little bit well i care a lot

about tomorrow which is why i'm already trying to prepare myself emotionally for the huskies not

winning the game right if they win the game that'll be would you prefer a world where the huskies are just totally dominant and the ducks just absolutely suck or would you prefer a world like this where it's college game day like the world's or the country's eyes are on this game like because it's actually something to tune in for as opposed to just like the number one huskies

just you know trounce them again well i would prefer that it's exactly like it is right now and the huskies win yes yes that's not an option then plan b is the huskies are way better than see yeah neither of the plans involve the huskies yeah no no that makes total sense it's very complicated the math there on that note we're going to go out with a little ken pomeroy as suggested by listener laurel this is periodolia and we'll say thank you for listening we'll see on monday in the meantime yourselves a great weekend go huskies i hope i don't regret saying that and please remember no mountain too tall and good luck to all except for the ducks i guess tell me what you see vision you lying in the debris heaviness makes a place in the middle of your right counting the faces you see in the sky Counting the faces you see in the sky Come on, cowboy, pick up the pace I'm not a cowboy, whatever it takes This coyote's been walking against the wind Only for the fat and burnings Only for the fat and burnings Family heirlooms sitting in the grass Talking about money, switching to flats I don't really know how to end this conversation, so high five? Sure. Power out.
