I'm watching Seinfeld and I'm like he does great of those. How can I do those if I'm going to be a comedian or a writer? I don't even know how to write. Or a storyteller. I don't even know how to do stories that funny. Only there's no white one. Seinfeld, he does really good jokes and I can't do that much jokes because nobody laughs at me. And I need someone to tweet me. We need to copy him so you need to print it off so I can do each word at a time. And I need to memorize that so I can do each word at a time. How can I do those if I'm going to be a comedian or a writer? I don't even know how to write.

TBTL!

I love these guys. They make funny with their mouths.

Well, I'll tell you one thing. I'm not eating the Taco John's. That's spicy stuff.

I think the awkward silences are the best bits, and especially those kind of related to the obvious sexual tension between Luke and Andrew. And I think that that's a really important thing that you need to keep in the show.

If there's a better use for the Internet, I haven't found it.

Well, all right. Hello, good morning and welcome, everyone, to a Thursday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

This is not only a huge step for our company, but for the entire global media industry.

My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host. I'm an activist and house party enthusiast. Coming to you once again from Los Angeles, California, where we are dealing with cloud fog. Another foggy, foggy day. But that's all right, because it is clear and sunny here inside the hotel room. where we are going to bring you episode 4,167 in a collector's series. Let the fun begin. I was outside earlier today on my little jogabout that I do, and I was reminded of something that I sort of forward promoted at the end of yesterday's show, which is I stay in this hotel, the Hotel June, intentionally. It's my favorite place to stay in Los Angeles. Is it the fanciest hotel in L.A.? Absolutely not. Is it near the LAX jail? Yes, it is Have I been in the LAX jail? No, surprisingly But I love this I love this hotel I love this Actually, I love this part of Los Angeles Except for one thing Which I'm going to talk about I'll say, what's up, dog? And also, I don't love that this bothers me But it does And we're going to get into it Also, it's a Thursday, a.k.a. Blur's Day

So we're going to do the Blur's Day messages

And we're going to talk to this guy The longest-running co-bro of the show may be best known for his depictions of the tall ships.

If you've got cute hair, I'm going to say, damn, girl, you've got some cute hair.

He's Andrew Walsh, and he's joining me right now. Good morning, my friend.

Good morning, Luke. I was slightly later than usual dialing up today to talk to you because I was wandering around my house looking for a plant because I noticed something during yesterday's recording.

That had gone missing?

Well, no. I was hoping that I had an ideal plant for an issue that I'm having. I know that this is an audio medium, but you and I can see each other.

It's increasingly a video medium, though. Exactly.

The more we talk about it, certainly.

Each day, our friend and TBTL employee numero uno, John Sklaroff, sends us now a clip and says, are you okay with this, to put on the internet? And this is the whole point of the new world of media that we live in is more visual stuff. But every day I say to him, absolutely, exclamation point, and inside I die a little bit.

Really? That bums me up.

I just don't like—no, it's okay. It's part of the deal. I mean, again, I'm a person who's actively pursued a job life in television, so this is on me. but i i've never seen a video of myself and thought killing it burbs this is looking good

i mean listen we spent literally 45 way too much time yesterday no i'm talking about my own my own

i'm gonna say damn girl you got some cute hair talking about my own neuroses and everything

um and so i you know i'm not i don't i know i'm sorry i don't i'm not in a position to like You know, hoist you up maybe Given my own low self-esteem Podcasts with low self-esteem But, or In other words, to dismiss your concern

as something that you should be concerned about. No, no, they should be dismissed. I understand that it's a mental problem. I honestly think in this format of you and I chatting and you not thinking about the camera all the time, you come off as very natural and it's very nice. And I've never seen anything in these videos that are like, oh, Luke looks bad or whatever. But it's all in your head. I know you know that and you can't shake it. I have my own neuroses. And that's kind of related to why I was looking for a plant today. because while I mentioned for some reason as the ugly one of the podcasting duo, as I try to fix my little tuft of hair up here in the video screen, I am less concerned about it. I'm like 47, like I'm pretty stable in life. Like of all of my neuroses, how I look isn't a huge one on the list. It would be if I went to a pool party or something, but that's why I don't go to pool parties. All of this is to say what's driving me bananas is if you'll notice, I was adjusting my camera before and the past two days I've been sort of leaning in a certain direction because I noticed in the bottom corner of the screen, there's that thing, Luke, and the listeners can't see it. I'm going to adjust my camera for you.

Okay, I can kind of see it. You mean the power outlet?

It's a power outlet. I have like a power outlet. A lot of people have power outlets. I'm not trying to brag about that. Power outlet. That actually should be the show title, I think. But, you know, it's like You just have the power outlet in the wall But then I have one of those little adapter things That, you know, adds three more plugs to it And then has some USB power on the top of it It's a very serviceable thing But when I, I mean, I hate unsightly cables and cords And all during yesterday's show I just kept looking at the bottom of the screen And seeing that unsightly power cable situation Just making, like, not that my studio looks super nice But if I frame it in a certain way, you can mostly just see a wall and books. I'm happy with that. If people want to assume I know how to read, I'll take that. But I do not like that ugly ass power outlet. So I was running around the house looking to see if we had any suitable plants and plant stands to put in front of it. Like my neuroses are about that as yours are to your face.

are you going to have to if you if you find the perfect plant and plant stand are you gonna have to step around it every time you leave your workspace or is there enough room for you to walk past i think there's gonna actually be a tripping hazard i think there's enough room

there's an i mean i've already gone way too into this uh more than i needed to i don't have a lot of options to sort of like put in one of those kind of nicer you know they sell they're quite expensive but they sell sort of like designy but also industrial looking sort of like power supplies that i see i used to see a lot of instagram ads for them i like them um i don't have a lot of

flexibility here because we i considered buying you one of those as a gift i'm not kidding oh really we were the kind of people who gift who gifted each other things you were just waiting

to see if i got you anything you're like well you didn't get me anything i'm not gonna get

just because i see it on instagram a lot and i think of you every time i see it because it's

very andrew do you remember have we talked about this before or you just think of me because when

you see it it seems like something i think we've talked about i can't remember if it's on the show or or off the air but there's there were those ones too that are like um kind of a you know an outlet that has like it extends it's like an extension cord but the coolest one you've ever seen effectively right like so it's it's a braided sort of you know plug-in thing that then goes to a little box that's really stylish and i believe you once said like yeah but those are 50 bucks or something and you're not going to waste money on that and every time i see that on instagram i think i should get my friend andrew one of those i never do but i think about it that was back in

like 2021 when 50 bucks meant something like honestly these i mean i i i do not want to be the guy who complains about.

We like to thank our dazzling donors.

Rices. But like, honestly, like Vives and I the other day, it was sort of a strange day. She was working from home for, she was working from home. I had a hole in my day and I'm like, do you just want to walk over to the IHOP and just have like a late lunch? And so, or like a late breakfast, a regular timed lunch. And so we went over to the IHOP and had two, I mean, listen, I like to eat a decent amount of food. I get whatever the hungry man is over there, you know, like the breakfast sampler or whatever. But literally I got a breakfast sampler. Genevieve got some eggs and toast or something coffee and maybe an orange juice for the I don't even think we both got orange juice and like with tip it was almost 60 bucks and like you know yeah and I'm kind of like I don't want to be that guy it is what it is and I'm just so lucky to be able to like just you know not have to worry about that stuff too much but I was like I couldn't help remembering when I was like young and broke as a joke in my early 20s and thinking that that 60 was sort of a baseline price for a hotel room, which, I mean, even then it was a pretty shitty hotel room.

But again, I was in a different place in my life. But it was like, oh, OK, that'll that's where I'll start looking for hotel rooms about about the price of an IHOP breakfast in 2024.

I had a moment the other day at LAX is it would have been coming home from my last week's trip down here where I did a move that I don't feel good about, which was I asked the guy at the California pizza kitchen in LAX if the bill was correct.

this is like one of those progressive commercials you're becoming your parents

oh my god because i could my brain could not figure out how a margarita pizza and a a uh non-alcoholic corona beer was 48 dollars yeah right those were the two items i got At this California pizza kitchen near the Alaska Airlines area in Terminal 6 of LAX. And I was like, they've clearly given me someone else's bill because I got one beer, not even a real beer. I got one N.A. beer and then a pizza that didn't even have any toppings really on it. It was a pizza margarita or margarita pizza or whatever. and i was you know watching tiktok on my phone i've also started doing this thing where i have my head my airpods in in public in a way that is both practical for my life but i don't feel good about like i feel like i'm checking out of regular life in a way now that's yeah i'm i'm not proud of excuse me like when i get now oftentimes if i get into the the uber or the lyft and i can tell that the person driving the car is not particularly interested in the conversation which i'm kind of low-key rooting for more and more i feel like that's the move right are you

still having a lot of conversations with your lyfts and uber drivers i'm not yeah i'm very

rarely i don't i wouldn't get in the car and put my headphones in without assessing because i feel like that's also very rude yeah but if i get the kind of the the green light which is the person driving the car like limited eye contact maybe they're on their own kind of a media experience i put i put those airpods in right quick and i start you know scrolling whatever i'm doing and again same thing in the airport now like it's very typical for me to be sitting at the bar at the airport restaurant with my airpods in um last night i went across the street from here to this little restaurant i love called manchester by the sea it's it gets dark uh towards the end um but uh that was a manchester by the sea joke i am not really familiar with manchester by the

sea but i did start to understand what you were going for at the end i understood the structure of context clues and i realized that this was okay um but i i do really love this little

restaurant called manchester and it's on manchester but again i went in and i sat down And pretty quickly Actually you know what I don't know if we're at this part of the show Where I start just retelling you About people I was sitting next to At the bar at Manchester But I had an experience last night No no no Famously toxic people And by famously toxic I mean they seemed very toxic to me I put my headphones in very quickly Because I could not stand To listen to the guy next to me at the bar talking to I think a colleague of his um I couldn't tell if he I didn't know what the exact nature of their relationship was but it was a man and a woman and all I could think the whole time was I was almost going to text myself like to remember to talk about this on the show today although I think this is an experience a lot of people have out in the world and it's almost not notable anymore this guy was so mad at everybody in the world it was just the people they worked with who he just couldn't like everybody who he who they worked with um sucked and his ex-wife sucked and was you know trying to enroll their kid in the in a school that he didn't like in fullerton and and then he said this was the piece de resistance after he had just been slagging off like everybody they worked with his ex-wife anyone like he you the only thing he ever said about anyone was basically how much he didn't like them and then he finally said something like my ex-girlfriend he goes god it feels good to call her that yeah that was just like whatever is there a medication that you are not taking enough of or should be taking too much of? Like, I just, I almost wanted to turn to him and say, dude, this is not a good way to go through life. And also the person he was with, she seemed to be totally like down for this conversation, which I was like, the two of you just winding each other up over how much everyone except the two of you sucks. This is not a good way to live your life.

So she was kind of on board with this tone. She wasn't. I thought you're going to say that she was more like you felt bad for her having to put up with this. But they were both kind of going in for this sort of anhedonia, which is what Genevieve basic Genevieve.

And that's like the opposite of hedonism.

I think anhedonia, or at least as I understand it from Genevieve, who diagnoses so many people with this. But it's like the inability. If I understand it correctly, it's sort of an inability. oh the inability to feel joy or joy or pleasure and so there are people in our lives who just it's just like you go out to eat with them and it's complaining about this or the weight or the this and like everything is just like everything that comes out of their mouth is nothing but

negativity that was exactly what i was experiencing from this guy and i had to put my i had to put my airpods in and start furiously scrolling tiktok at full volume so that i wouldn't hear this guy just talking about how much and and yeah the the person he was with she didn't i mean you know as they consumed more and more wine she seemed to really slide into a certain acceptance of the situation um but but she didn't she wasn't she was not responding in kind in other words she was she didn't have her whole list of people that sucked it was just this guy and he was also one of those guys who was very fit and at some point he said to her like oh you ordered the fries well i'm really getting my carbs in and i just he was just insufferable and i just i couldn't believe that anybody who had been around this person before would be around them again because it was just so it was uh so toxic and and that's an overused term but it just was really it was it was

very dispiriting to be around do you feel i hate myself for even asking this question because i This is like sort of a, I was going to say almost like a shortcut to thinking, as I sometimes say when I feel like people make some of these kind of broad connections between technology and culture. Obviously, there are connections between technology and culture, but sometimes I feel like sometimes technology is blamed too much for bad human behavior. But I do wonder if you as someone who pointed out to me, I think, for the first time, the sort of blocking out the haterfication of of our culture, because you say on TikTok, it's a clapping back, the clapping back. And like I'm really sensitive to it now. Like and maybe this is again, I need to acknowledge that maybe my complaint comes from a place of privilege on my part, because maybe I have not faced a lot of the obstacles other people in this world have faced. obviously i don't but i don't think that's the case these commercials i'm trying to think there is a lot of people dislike you i gotta go i gotta leave now um i uh i um but the commercials really bother me when it's kind of like they say you would never do it there's one in the super bowl where it's just like all these people who were saying that like so many people in their life said like you'll never read a book it wasn't quite that low of a bar but it was like it was just like They said they said you'll never you'll never be successful in business. I'm like, who looked you in the eye and told you you'll never be successful in business? You know, now I do understand time out of their day. Right now. I do want to just acknowledge because some people might be hearing that. And if you are somebody who grew up in our generation or earlier and you're a little girl, like in a certain way, society did tell you, don't worry about wanting to be in the sciences or, you know, a firefighter. whatever i mean there are all kinds of things society does try to tell people especially at formative ages that kind of blocks them out so i don't want to i don't want to dismiss that

obviously but but the way society is telling people that yeah the way society is telling people that is in a more subtle and pervasive way which is just the default setting is not you know people who are marginalized doing stem stuff it's not somebody getting up in the morning and like cold calling people to be like you're never gonna do it what a job that's what that's

what this guy at the bar should get a job doing just calling people up oh he'd be so great at it just popping people's balloons but anyway there i'm very sensitive to this sort of like especially when it's these commercials about overcoming adversity and it's like all these people saying they said i couldn't do that they said i couldn't do this i'm just like they I did. didn't say that to you, brother. I know. I know. Nobody had one second of thinking about whether

or not you could do that. And it's cool that you're doing it, but you're, it's, it's, you're not overcoming a specifically held suspicion around whether or not you could do it. Genevieve

hates this take from me because she does think that I think she hates the take from me because I'm not a good, I don't think I'm a good messenger for it for several reasons, including again, sort of the privilege i grew up with but also because she's like didn't your high school counselor tell you you were going to flunk out of college i'm like yes okay so that person did say i was going to fail at college you actually had specific haters she literally yes i'm like okay yeah i'm like yeah but i'm really a loser but wait a sec how did that conversation unfold and

how is this the first i'm hearing that seems like some of the worst guidance counselor behavior maybe in in the recorded record i was so pissed off i carried this around like baggage for so

long and not in that way of like i achieved a lot because this person didn't believe in me just in pure haterade i just kind of hated that person but um and i don't remember even their name um but i just here's why it went down i went to a pretty fancy high school with really high academic standards and it was a college preparatory school i didn't do great in high school like i liked my my experience at St. Ignatius but like I graduated with a 2.2 average and so the context of this person saying I wasn't going to make it in college was what we usually see is people um grade point averages can drop by a full point uh when they go to college and if we're talking about a 1.2 with you you're not going to be able to stay in college and I think maybe it was maybe it was a bit of a warning shot like I don't know this was so I was in high school this was so long ago and I only remember the broad strokes of it I remember being very pissed off not like I'm going to take that as a challenge but just like you're a guidance counselor which is such a rude thing to say but at the time guide me yeah right so anyway um and I think I was very snobby about it that I'm now I think guidance counselors are in a very important jobs and I probably don't even know the half of what they do but at the time I'm just like oh really you're going to sit in that chair in this in this dark office off campus and tell me that my life isn't going well um but anyway uh that

Do you think that you worked harder in college because of that piece of feedback?

I think I worked harder in college. That might have been on my mind a little bit, but more I think I was scared straight by seeing the experiences of a lot of friends of mine and family members of mine who were way more successful than me in high school, if not way more, but just generally were smarter and probably got better grades, but then went to college and they just sort of couldn't handle the college experience or in some cases didn't want the college experience but in some cases like they were off the they were they were off leash for the first time and party too hard or or just weren't ready for the experience or maybe missed home I don't know I'm thinking of like sort of a composite of a bunch of different people in my life but I saw a lot of a lot of my friends were a year older than me too so I saw some people go to college before me and I just grew up in a generation in a class where going to school going to college was expected for us and then a bunch of these people going to college and then not making it out of freshman year. And I think that put the fear of God in me more, more like, hey, listen, I'm choosing to go to college right now. And like, if I don't want to, if I don't want to get out of my first year of college, I should just leave college right now. So if I'm going to be here, I'm doing it for me, not for the guidance counselors back at St. Ignatius, because I was forced to go to high school. So I think that put the fear of God in me more.

I essentially flunked out of my first quarter of college. um they didn't kick me out but they put me on like academic probation yeah that's what i'm talking because i had an 8 30 class which i was signing up for classes and i thought well i've been going to school at like 7 45 every day you know am like 8 30 should be fine and boy 8 30 8 30 in college is real and i wasn't even a partier it wasn't like i was in high school 8 30 in college like seriously and it wasn't i wasn't even like i wasn't wilding out i just could not get myself to speech communications 162 in cane hall i could not make myself go and i also thought i'm pretty good at speech communicating i should be able to phone this one in boy i could not and i did so badly in that class that it dragged my entire and i was on like a ton of like you know free money um grants and stuff i don't even want to say scholarships it wasn't like i had i hadn't earned any of this free money other than being poor but um it was like the kind of thing where like all of my the grants i was getting were endangered by how badly i did my first quarter of college yeah and i knew people who were all

also on academic probation and some who did not climb out of it either. So, yeah, so I was kind of nervous about that. I guess this all came back to me just asking you if you sort of feel like hearing this guy complain about this and that or whatever, if it's all sort of part and parcel, at least in your mind, with a lot of the stuff you're seeing online of people like sort of like going online and just talking about how like nobody ever gave him a chance and slapping back and all the haters.

This guy was more old school. he was just an old school kind of person who thinks the world is against him yeah and again I'm looking at him and I'm just going to go off of appearance it's like he was I think he might have worked in the film industry I was overhearing snippets of of you know the conversation between them indicating maybe he worked in Hollywood he was a very like I said very fit very I guess you could say sort of conventionally attractive ish you know 48 year old guy wait am i describing myself yeah yes no he was just like you said successful again you you don't you don't know anyone's story but he didn't seem like a person who had he did not seem like a person who had to overcome more than the average person cis white male whose body conforms with the idea of what we think of as being a a you know good looking person and yet everything was wrong and everybody was out to get him and again it was the part where he said my ex-girlfriend god it feels good to say that i just thought like man you like what man what's broken like as a person who's been married in divorce twice and in a number of important and long-term relationships that didn't work out honestly one of my one of my biggest flexes is that i have nothing bad to say about anybody i've been in a relationship with that's interesting yeah um a because i am the problem it's pretty obvious to anybody that knows me but like i i kind of i do i feel a little bit proud of that

mm-hmm it's a good I mean even if you did harbor and listen any breakup is gonna have complications on both sides of it but even if you were harboring some ill will or feelings of unfairness or whatever and you're carrying that around it's never it's such a good policy to keep that to yourself because it's never a good look to air that to anybody and I will say that that's a good point I don't think I've I mean I've known you for a long I've known you through many relationships i honestly don't think i've ever heard you with the possible exception of every now and then just if we're having some real talk about you like kind of working on feelings or something like i don't think i've ever heard you say anything even close to negative

about anybody that you were in a relationship with yeah and i i do i feel i guess i feel kind of good about that like i just feel like okay i'm terrible at making relationships work but i also at least realize that i'm the problem which which you know this guy doesn't this guy did not realize that he clearly played a part in all of this you know and it was just again it was just that thing where everybody except him and maybe the woman he was talking to although as soon as she was out of earshot probably her too everyone sucked except him and it was just like oh man so let me go from that to talking about how everybody sucks except me andrew if i could is this about the neighborhood

Because I am a little bit on the edge of my seat Waiting to hear about this

I've already made it into way bigger Of a thing than it should be But what I've noticed about this particular neighborhood Because there are some really large Like kind of sprawling Apartment complexes You know the kind Like you remember What's the one that's on like La Brea That's There's like 15 square city blocks That are apartment living okay in kind of central los angeles like kind of bougie apartments it's near the arrow that particular um erwan anyway um there's something kind of like that here there's like a really really big apartment complex of very nice apartments um and what i've noticed and i think some of this has to do with just when i'm jogging i become the guy who i was sitting next to at the at manchester last night whereas everything bothers me because i think i'm physically uncomfortable because you know i'm tired and anyone just kind of walking in my way feels like an act of aggression when really they're just trying to live their life i become i become hyper cognizant of how much other people in the world are not aware of where they are in space when i'm jogging it doesn't happen when i'm walking it only happens when i'm jogging because i think i just want it to be over with and any delay just feels like a a personal um affront But what I've noticed about this neighborhood, and this was also what happened a lot in Portland when I lived in the apartment building I lived in, is there are so many people with dogs who clearly, to me, are not taking the role as dog owner seriously enough. And by that I mean I have to weave my way around. It happened this morning. Again, it happened yesterday. It happened the day before. I have to weave my way around so many people, and this is, by the way, at like 9.30 a.m. It's not the crack of dawn, who are in pajamas walking their dogs to the closest piece of organic vegetation that their dogs can pee and poop in so that they can then turn around and go right back in to their domicile. and it just feels to me like it's not a good it doesn't seem like it's great for the dog it seems like it was a it was not a well thought out thing let me get a dog but then let me also live in an apartment where i have to take the dog out but let me also do the minimum with this dog like let now i don't know what the rest of the day looks like maybe they go to some dog park somewhere although by the way there is a dog park across the street from this hotel so i know it's close it's it's doable for these folks it's just there's something about a person outdoors in their

pajamas looking at their phone with their dog straining against the leash blocking the sidewalk so they can try to get to a ficus to relieve itself that feels to me like we didn't think this through as the human owners of the situation yeah and again i know that's i know that puts me right next to the guy at the bar i didn't like last night in terms of complaining but i it's the feeling i've been having here and it happens to me anytime i'm in an area where there's a giant apartment complex and a lot of people particularly in their 20s who got an animal they wanted but then feel to me like they're not making that animal's life the best and they're making my life not the best and i just don't dig the vibe this is a totally you're making me think of

something that doesn't address your issue but i need to ask you about this if i haven't already because i've seen something in the airport a couple of times now uh in sea tack i think by the um by the tram if you're going out to like the end gates or whatever it is there's that little area and it's necessary for anybody who has dogs understand it like it's not ideal like you you i assume you need to have your dog with you and you're in the airport it's not ideal we're all going to get through this but there's this little area that is um i mean what is it it's the size of it's not even the size of a single bed i don't know what it is it's a little smaller than that and it's basically a box and it's got astroturf or like that that fake lawn stuff and and i think maybe a fire hydrant for for fun and the and the dogs just go to the bath i've never seen a dog using it but i mean again i'm not i am not complaining about anything here in fact i just sort of feel bad for everybody involved who has to do this in this situation but when i see that i can't help but stare at it and just think of the horror that lies within that box and just like thinking of like if somebody were to to jump me right now and and and well maybe maybe this is a really dark thing to say just like or if i trip and fall headfirst into that box or something how unbelievably horrible it would be it's just a pea box it's just a box that's been collecting dog pee inside for god knows how long it that's a really good point though i've never seen i know

the the pet relief area yes i believe is the is the medical term for it i've never seen a pet relieve themselves on that yeah even though they're in every airport now because we do bring i mean listen andrew i'm gonna i'm gonna make a bold statement here there are certainly people who need service animals for a variety of reasons uh could be um you know we people get it people can fill in the details on why somebody might need a service animal but let's also be honest most of the people walking dogs around in the airport just want to have their dog with them

but wait you don't have to do you have to i thought airports i thought you can just fly with your pets like you don't have to be a service animal to have a dog in an airport do you

Is that the case? I didn't know that.

Well, I mean, I've sat next to people on planes and stuff where they're moving across the country or whatever. Like Genevieve has flown with our cats in cages. And I assume that if I've I've known I've flown next to people who've had like little dogs in cages under the seat or like, you know, traveling. Sure. Zach's or whatever. Yes. And so they might just need to relieve themselves. I don't I don't think it's just for service. But what I'm.

saying is in life generally speaking when you see a dog somewhere where we don't usually have dogs like and they're wearing a little some kind of a thing there are there's certainly some amount of those dogs that are helping the person in a meaningful way that is medically necessary that does happen but i do think we have gotten to a point where the majority of the dogs that are out and are allegedly service dogs are not doing anything other than just being a friend to the person who brought them around and by the way i love dogs i don't really care like it doesn't

bother me that's what i was gonna say like yeah it hasn't i haven't been in a situation where it's ruined whatever my experience is because i just kind of like looking at dogs too right but we

started we started from it used to be like no dogs in the airport or no dogs on the airplane or you know the dogs need to be under the airplane you know on a bunch of benadryl or something or the animals and again this is mostly dogs societally we used to be like yeah there's a lot of places you can't bring your dogs and then and then it became the case that we're like service animals are allowed because they serve a purpose for the people and then at some point everybody figured out you could just order a vest from the internet to put on your little buddy and bring them around And again, I doesn't really bother me, but it's, I feel like we've moved very far away from whatever the service, the legitimate service animal kind of deal is. Most of them are not, I don't think are, are, are satisfying that requirement. And again, in fact, Andrew, yesterday I was down at the swimming pool. I was doing some work. I had my laptop with me and somebody had their dog at the pool and the dog came over to me and jumped up on. i was on one of those little like day bed kind of a thing that they have and the dog jumped up on the bed and came over to me and it was without a doubt the highlight of the last six months of

my life it was the greatest thing that's ever happened to me oh dude when i tell you how much

like it was a service dog that i didn't know i needed like it was so great so i understand how weird it is for me to be saying this because dogs occurring in my life only make my life better so i'm not mad at it i just think i guess what i maybe really what i'm trying to say is we let's all stop pretending like for the folks for the folks that just want to bring their dog everywhere fine bring your dog i love your dog being there but like the idea that it's like this is and we're gonna get emails or i'm gonna get emails thankfully the my email is down currently so i can't even you can't hurt me because we're switching services right now and thank you by the way

for all your work on that don't copy me on those though that's luke but um i'm sure that we have

so many listeners who have legitimate reasons that they want they they need a service animal to be with them and i'm not trying to um sort of deny your experience i'm just saying most of the time i think now it's just because we want to have our dogs with us which is fine i just don't think we need the we don't need the vest that you ordered on the internet to make us think that this dog is going to sense a seizure that's about to happen because truthfully you just want to have

your dog with you and that's fine yeah i'm um i i guess my only disappointment about the dogs and vests is if they're a service animal then i feel like i i don't even ask if i can pet the dog and if they're not wearing well that's then i'm always just like gonna pet that dog uh which i guess is a

viral thing but do not pet is a very big part of the vest now right yeah right well i just always

assume i'm like well that dog's working you don't pet a dog in the middle of their work day that's the policy i met a dog named charlie this weekend luke's just the most beautiful i don't even some sort of a i i don't know dog breeds at all like dog breeds and and cars cars actually just all look alike to me so i never know like what make or model a car is dogs don't all look alike to me i just don't know what to call him but i will just tell you that charlie had the deepest

blue eyes i've ever seen on a canine we need to get you a dog my friend you have you have a proper yard for it you i mean honestly like i do i can't i don't think that there's a really strong

argument against you having a dog at this point two words professor bananas we've made her life miserable by bringing a little kitten into the home and they're doing a lot better genevieve's been really working um on like sort of it's been it's been uh i don't know year and a half sorry i know that's what happened that is literally what happened to me right there that is why i stopped god if i could have a time machine and go back and somehow stop the bare naked ladies from making that song it would make my life a lot easier you know hey hitler do your thing

Oh, no. Bare naked ladies. I do.

We've got to address some things.

Anyway, I don't know how much I want to spoof on that, honestly. But, yeah, so Genevieve's done a really good job. It's been a year and a half or whatever since we brought Bingo home. And it was like it was a real bummer to see our older cat who had just gotten used to the new house and was and the loss of, you know, Theo and was just finally like finally comfortable in her own skin again and with us and snuggly. And then we brought in this little kitten and bananas just did not know how to deal with bingo. And it was such a bummer. Like she was just like she it took like, I mean, almost a solid year before she kind of came back a little bit to her old self. And now we're Genevieve has really been working on like kind of socializing them together. And like the other night we came home from the Eagles pretty late and plopped down in bed and both cats came up on the bed and snuggled with us, not with each other, but with us. And that was huge news. I mean, 90 percent of my conversations with Genevieve are. Did you see the cats? They were sitting kind of close together. That was funny. He was looking at her, not harassing her. Like that is all of our conversation these days. So I do think that bringing a week I do not think that we'll be able to get a dog Until Professor Bananas maybe Shakes this mortal coil

That makes sense and that's actually a really Legit reason for not For not getting a dog But I do think that you're gonna You're gonna be a tremendous dog parent When your life You know Sort of works out for that

Maybe I do think dogs are just It does seem like a lot of responsibility

You'll never know what breed it is

I'll be like it's a Celica I don't know people will be like what kind of dog a Scion oh yeah kind of boxy you know I hate to admit it when Luke is right about something right but I gotta give him credit he was right about at least one thing he has been telling me for quite some time to check out the podcast Everything is Alive it's hosted by his friend Ian Chilog and Ian interviews inanimate objects if you can imagine that like a box of tissues or a bath towel and everything is alive has a new series out now called the animals in which Ian interviews animals like a pink flamingo I listened to that one yesterday it was so good a butterfly we get to hear from the perspective of a kangaroo and this podcast features a lot of great comedians like our friend Harry Kondabolu or Vinnie Thomas Connor Ratcliffe a whole bunch I was especially drawn to the production style if I can geek out for just a second i the production of this podcast just reminds me of some of my favorite podcasts from back in the day just like really deftly done but with a very light touch and it feels very intimate for ostensibly a comedy show and i noticed that hillary frank was credited in the credits one of my favorite producers of all time so you got to check it out i'm giving this my my full endorsement even if it does make luke look right check it out everything is alive and the animals a new series from Everything is Alive. You can find it on your podcast app.

We was hoping for some razzle-dazzle. Razzle-dazzle. That's right, man. Razzle-dazzle. On your mark. On your mark. Get set. Get set. Now ready. Ready. Go. Everybody razzle-dazzle.

Hey, let's thank some dazzling donors. These are the tremendously generous, tremendously supportive people who are supporting the show with a dazzling donation of dough. Of course, today we find ourselves thanking Chris Gleim of Reno, Nevada. I love these pronouncers, Andrew. They're so helpful. Gleim, like lime with a G. Yep. I was in the wilderness with the pronouncers for so many years, and now I'm, mostly what I'm learning is I was mispronouncing everyone's name.

Yes.

But better late than never.

my favorite are the ones where I we've had two people on the TBTL Week in Review video series recently where for years I was like pretty proud of myself for like knowing how to pronounce their names and then they both corrected me David Zacharis being one of them I always thought I have I always thought it was Zacharis I introduced him as Zacharis he's like it's Zacharis and it's not even like oh I mispronounce your name it's like oh I was so proud of myself for thinking I knew how to pronounce your name so yeah and that's the lesson

never ever feel proud of yourself

I'm working on it I'm saying that for both of us yes

Chris is in Reno Nevada and says long time listener since the radio days first time dazzling donor thanks Chris it is wild to think I've been listening to TBTL through so many life changes two colleges one wedding four states five jobs and countless hours listening to my favorite podcast the joe rogan experience

well played what is the have we uh what's the policy on refunding

that we have no policy in place we are we do have a policy in place it's it's frowned upon we've spent the money is what you're telling me i've spent the money yes

kidding of course tbtl chris says i love you guys and honored to dazzle with my donation i work at the food bank of northern nevada hmm wow just in it for the money huh another high roll another classic money grab from chris gleim uh i i wanted to tell all the listeners to support your local food bank or food pantry with housing prices food prices gas prices medical care etc people continue to go hungry money and or time can make a huge difference in the work that is being done power out listener chris there you go that's a great reminder to support your local food bank or your local food pantry because it is a strange thing, right? And I guess you see some of this too with your pop-up that you do each week, Andrew, which is it feels like food is available and is everywhere. And the idea that there are people who don't have access to food or access to enough food, it sort of strains your mind a little bit, but it's a real thing and it's happening. And it's important for, you know, folks to support food banks, food pantries and to do things like what you're doing.

Yeah, it is. It's very important. I appreciate Chris doing that. I mean, again, I know he's in it for the money, but still, accidentally, it's also a good cause.

So two things can be true. Exactly. Chris is just, you know, getting rich over there, working at the food bank, volunteering at the food bank. But but but it also is a good thing. So you're lucky this time, Chris.

maestro on your mark on your mark get set get set now ready ready go everybody rattle

hey it's our friend robin degrossi james of wheat ridge colorado i was telling you during

the break that i apologize for correcting you you mentioned that robin i know that robin was one of the people who visited us when we were in denver and we did a trivia night at uh not crowbar But wherever we did it before you guys went to Crowbar

Yeah I don't even remember the name of that place

I know which is a real bummer Where we were like out in the back It was really cool The bar itself remember how beautiful the bar itself was But anyway I knew that somebody Had come in from overseas and rushed in With no sleep and I thought I didn't realize it was Robin and I corrected you And Robin probably yelled at her phone And I apologize Robin and I apologize to you Luke

That place was called Local 46

Yes, okay. Which is also, that's not the most sticky name. I'm not trying to insult them.

The reason that I have, the reason I know that is because in my phone, I have multiple contacts for Irie, the person who helped us, and I kept calling them, and it kept being the wrong number, so I have Irie Local 46, real Irie Local 46, and actual Irie Local 46. Final draft. This is really the one. Final all caps. PDF yes final final final final we're going to do the show or we're going to hang out at this place in uh Denver and this person is going to really call me back that was a really interesting experience because the person who helped set that up I mean we had a listener who hipped us to that joint and it was an amazing joint but I will say this about Irie and I'm okay with Irie hearing this Irie had two modes completely unreachable and unbelievably helpful there was no no there was no middle lane of of dealing with irie it was it was completely and totally distracted and not calling back and causing me to load in three different contexts and then wonderfully

helpful that was it those are the only modes and remember she had a she had a daughter that we met too who was really really cool the reason i'm thinking of that is because i'm also thinking like yeah because she was probably juggling a million different things with running a bar and dealing with us and also raising a kid and all everything that goes along with that. But that just reminded me too. That we got to, Yeah. we got to meet the fam.

And we got to meet Robin that night. We did. Robin, but we got to re meet Robin who says, Hola friendos for my dazzling donor message this year. I'd like to remind the tens that spring migration is coming up for our feathered friends. And there is a really easy and important thing you can do to help. Andrew, would you like to bring Genevieve into the room for this?

she is uh not uh on campus today meaning this campus the campus of the has walsh household

okay well can you how soon can you have her here could you do we need can you just tap dance a

little bit and i'll see if you can catch the bus home let me call i'm gonna call all of irie's

different content

text okay that should buy us at least 15 minutes i hope i didn't sit on this too long by the way

it says that the spring migration is coming up and i kind of realize now it is oh is today the

first day of spring by the way i believe it is happy spring luke here's the thing even if it's not even if it even if you're hearing this because a lot of people listen on delay if you're hearing this it's the dead of winter it's never too early to start considering our feathered friends exactly so this is evergreen in that sort of way uh there's a really easy and important thing you can do to help the majority of birds migrate at night and sadly millions die every year due to light pollution if you can please ensure that all outdoor lighting is turned off or is appropriately shielded draw your curtains and perhaps reconsider your plan to up light your trees i don't know who this is directed at for example this message really took a turn you can find out more about the harmful effects of light pollution at dark sky.org if you're interested uh thank you luke and andrew and john oh i see if you're interested period thank you luke andrew and john for being too beautiful to biz and to my fellow tens for making this community so awesome um who knew that i could have uh i could have riled up the listeners so much by my discussion of future uplighting of trees the good news robin and all of our bird loving friends is that is so far in the future and i have no money to do it so i think the birds the the likelihood is the birds will remain safe flying through southern washington as it pertains to my my place but it's a very good reminder that um that birds have a tough time navigating life when we have all these lights on um and uh and you don't think about that a lot but it is bad for them and particularly in in like i know in new york city it's a whole issue we do have some cities in america where the um the bird folks have been able to prevail upon the um you know whoever's in charge of the city to dim the lights on these buildings and stuff but it's a real issue so let's all do our part counterpoint

are we allowed to do counterpoints for the dazzling messages like think about it this way

You're saying most people are just bringing their birds around because they want to have them there?

I mean, I'm just saying that, like, are we going to cave into all the birds wishes if we just leave the lights on? Won't the birds get smarter? And like, well, you know, evolution will start to weed out the birds who can't handle light. Like, don't we want smarter, stronger birds in the future?

That's a very, like, libertarian argument.

Also, I want to move out to an island, by the way, where there are no laws and only me and my rich brethren.

You want to move on to an oil rig off of Scotland or something? Isn't that like, what's it called? Seagate or something?

There is some new talk about these libertarian richy riches who want to create their own utopia somewhere.

Oh, yeah, you mean Delano, California.

Is that what it is?

Yeah, I think it's actually a very interesting story. I was trying to pitch CBS on it. Yeah. Yeah. They're buying up. They have bought up a huge amount of real estate and land in like the sort of outside of the Bay Area. And I think it's they're calling it Delano. And their their argument is or their sort of use case is that they're trying to solve the affordable housing issues in California. but a lot of the farmers that live there who didn't want to sell their land have take a different view of the whole thing like the fact that they wanted to buy this land

not for themselves would actually to build affordable housing on oh i didn't i don't think yeah i i must have either misunderstood the story or we might not be talking about the same thing

by the way okay yeah the thing that i'm thinking of i think it's called delano california and or that's what they've named it and the their sales pitch is we want to build a kind of a planned not just community but city that works really well for people and that you know allows people who let's say do housekeeping in the city to also live in the city like they want to try to solve the issues of the bay area so they say now a less generous interpretation what they're doing is they bought a shit ton of real estate really cheap that's going to be worth billions of dollars and uh and they also i don't think that they can use eminent domain because they're not um you know like a municipality but they've they've sued people who wouldn't sell their property and land to them they're in like actual lawsuits with people um over the selling of this stuff because for the the simple fact that the people didn't want to sell the thing to them which seems kind dirty

I love that the masters of capitalism always revert back to anti-capitalist practices. Well, yeah, it is so bananas.

It's like they, they, they, they mean the libertarians availing themselves of the law.

Yes. I'm just saying like, Hey, everybody should have the right to do their own thing and everything. And that's how I earned my billions and billions of dollars. What you won't sell me land. Then I will use all of the force of my power in the courts to force you to sell it. And I was also thinking about it. And I mean, this is such an immature and inarticulate way for me to address this. But even with the with all the talk of tick tock recently, everybody it's like they're doing two things at the same time that we sort of noted the other day when we talked about it, which is like they're all say, you know, everybody who's talking about the new potential, you know, the tick tock legislation, let's call it. They're always saying communist China. We want to give communist China this much power. And then they say, that's why we want to force them to sell it. It's kind of like, wait a second, you are a government.

We want to send them to a re-education camp, Andrew.

Wait, so you don't want communism. You just want the government forcing you to sell something. And again, I'm not like in defense of it.

We just want the government divesting them of their share in it and then redistributing the wealth.

Exactly. Which, by the way, let's redistribute all the goddamn wealth. I'm not against communism, but I just like the way that it literally, in the same breath for some of these people, They want to make sure that they're referring to the Chinese government as communist because that's such a trigger word for Americans while they're making the argument that the government should force them to be less capitalist. It's interesting.

i will say that the number one argument for me that has emerged against tiktok or or for you know banning tiktok or forcing them to sell it is the weirdest most jingoistic kind of like usa usa thing which is they don't let facebook in china by the way i don't love facebook i think it was probably fundamental in getting donald trump elected but there's something about the idea that China won't let American social media in, but we will let TikTok in. I don't know why that rubs me the wrong way and brings out some side of me that I didn't expect. But that's honestly the most compelling argument is like, well, they won't let us do our stuff there. So why are we letting them do their stuff here?

That is interesting. I need to be careful around this topic because I'm not a TikTok user. So the loss of TikTok, while I think it would be actually kind of bad for the younger generation and the people and some 47 year olds. That's what I meant by the younger generation. You know, I don't love the idea of just like kind of taking this tool of creativity and communication away from a generation that uses it, I think, in very interesting ways. having said that like we after our conversation about the other day a lot of people were emailing us you know and kind of friend in a friendly way saying it you guys kind of missed one of the big points which is not about just collecting americans data but also like the way you know the chinese government which can influence this platform can spread misinformation and affect our elections and all this stuff and i'm just like yes that is a real concern but that is exactly what facebook has been doing and like you said like i don't even know if trump gets elected so can we can we ban them all like is i mean that doesn't seem like something that a card-carrying supporter of the aclu should be advocating for but like yeah i mean i just don't know like i don't like misinformation and propaganda either but i also don't like it when it's coming from inside the

house yeah the call is coming from inside the musk yeah exactly

There's a right way to rock And a wrong way to roll You can just listen To your soul Just remember that life Is number one You can be having So much fun Just remember that life Life is much fun You can be Number one

You don't have your sound machine with you, do you?

Well, I don't have my sound machine, but I do have my audio drop thing that can play. Slabjacking. Okay.

I can do that. It's working, okay? I knew you were having some issues with that, so I wasn't sure if that was going to be a problem for this Blur's Day segment. It's not a super long Blur's Day segment, so why don't I just stall a little bit longer and make it a long Blur's Day segment? Sure. The first Blur's Day. That's a tuna, bro. In fact, I think the first two Blur's days might be aimed at the same Jake. We got one message here. Nick, the perfect 10, says, please wish a very happy Blur's Day to the perfect daddy, Jake in Chicago. This fall will be 15 years since you introduced me to the show, which is almost half my life, which is equally.

weird have a great day friendo spot sabotage the systems this is nick isn't even in his 30s yet

also i feel like it's unavoidable now the reality that tbtl is 15 years old i feel like we've been hearing a lot lately about how people have been listening for 15 years yes right well 2008 so

So, yeah, we had our 15-year anniversary, I guess, in January, I think. I don't get to celebrate the 15 years, though, because I didn't join until, like, 2012 or something. And I tried to celebrate it.

So you're celebrating your, what is it, 12th year?

Something like that. I think so. Yeah. Ariel says, I'm sorry, I mispronounced that. Ariel says, Jake, happy 33rd birthday. This has got to be the same Jake. I'm thinking it's the same Jake.

Isn't that for techno?

That's very short. It's called.

Isn't that for techno? Isn't that for techno? Isn't that for techno?

That's when you were spoofing me.

That's when I was trolling you. This is called techno geek even very shorter.

Think of a quick background.

So we have techno geek very short.

Isn't that for techno geek?

And then we have Techno Geek even very shorter.

Isn't that for Techno Geek final, short, short, final, final. Final, final. Yes. For people who don't know, I will recap that spoof because it really was, I feel like, possibly a high mark of TBTL spooferism. You had a drop, isn't that for Techno Geeks with spreadsheets? But the official drop that you would always use Cut off the S And I brought it up to you again years ago I said why does it say Techno Geek with Spreadsheet And then what you started to do Because of my complaint was You made a bunch of versions Where it ended a microsecond earlier each time So eventually it just became Spreadsheet And then you waited until I noticed That it was getting shorter and shorter each time Which is why so many TBTL listeners to this day Cannot say the word Spreadsheet, Luke No, we say Spreadsheet. We say Spreadsheet in this world. Here's the original.

This is going to be annoying because it's going to want to play the next drop too. But here is, I believe, the regular version, the original version.

Isn't that for Techno Geeks with Spreadsheet?

Okay, that was the original. And then we had Techno Geeks even shorter.

Isn't that for Techno Geeks with Spreadsheet?

That's way too short. I think you did it more incrementally than that. We have very short.

No, there's multiples here. We have Techno Geek very short.

Isn't that for Techno Geek?

And then we have Techno Geek even very shorter.

Isn't that for Techno Geek?

What is the lute that keeps playing that I hear after that?

It is something called DJ6Ivan Hospital EEG Tech.

That sounds like a funny drop. You're listening to Day Job, a podcast about work and music, struggle and freedom.

that's what that is andrew is that a real podcast or somebody spoofing a podcast

i have no idea it's again it's dj6 ivan comma hospital eeg tech tbtl eight minutes five uh

53 seconds and probably that most of that time is just that music playing so that was somebody's little music were you helping somebody with a podcast at some point day job about work and struggle that's interesting very possibly wow okay so we were in the middle of arielle's isn't that for technic geeks with spreadsheet arielle says jake happy 33rd birthday i'm so glad you've managed to stay alive for 33 years because now i get to marry you and spend the rest of your years by your side cute i get to spend the rest of your years by your side i don't want to get dark here but um sounds like ariel plans on outliving jake if i'm reading that correctly you are my absolute favorite person i love you forever and always love ariel

so the good news is ariel will be back on the market at some point

yes thank you for making it darker thank you for making me look good like a person gene says happy Gene says, happy eighth birthday to our dad, Joe. You are the best dad. Could you tell that I was trying to do a Gene Parmesan? Yeah, Gene Parmesan. Yeah, exactly. Sorry about that, Gene. Happy 80th birthday to our dad, Joe. You are the best dad we could ever hope for.

This is your office now?

Yeah, well, it's temporary. Got to make sure Job looks like he's in charge. Oh, please allow me. I'll just circumvent you.

So I got a call today from Gene Parmesan, our private eye. He said he found something big.

that's what i get for trying to play something called gene parmesan

randomly it's not her yelling gene i'm gonna start this over gene says happy 80th birthday to our dad joe you're the best dad we could ever hope for as well as the best 10 we're looking forward to celebrating with you love maria annie and gene cute happy birthday joe for sticking with us lee says i was telling you before the show luke i've been doing a lot of uh background work on transferring our emails over to a new system. And I was very, very frustrated yesterday because it didn't seem to be working correctly. And then after like kind of walking away from my desk for a half hour, I came back and I saw in my pristine new email box one single email. And it was a blurs day from our friend, listener Lee. And it both, it just made me smile so broadly because number one, it meant that my email was working and it meant that Lee was the very first person who emailed me and it meant a lot to me. and it'll mean a lot to Carter as well. Wow, old school. Lee says, wishing my five Carter a happy 18th birthday. Oh, my gosh. Carter is 18. 18. Are you kidding me? Your mom and I are so proud of the man you've become and look forward to seeing all of the great things you will do in college and beyond. Carter. Cute. Happy 18th birthday. And finally, our pal Rold, who got back to me, by the way, with an explanation of why.

Are you going to illuminate us at some point as to why those carts say night use only or day use only?

Day use only, I think. And I don't want to read it directly or find the text message from Rold explaining it. So, Rold, I hope I'm getting this right. But it's kind of my understanding that, like, there's a night crew, of course, fighter of the day crew, if you're familiar with. We were all thinking. It's always sunny. Master of karate. Master of karate. Oh, man, it's been a while. Anyway, so apparently there's a lot of stocking of shelves and whatnot that the night crew does. And it's kind of heavy lifting. And so they need a lot of carts. But then sometimes if they don't unload those carts, the day crew comes in and they don't have any carts that they can use. So apparently the people who work during the day put labels on certain carts and say, this is for day use only. I don't want to come in and find a whole bunch of, like, you know, stuff on this cart so I can't do my job. I see. Does that make sense? Gotcha. That makes total sense. I think I got that right. Rold does not address that in his Blur's Day message. He says, hi, guys. I'd like to wish a happy Blur's Day to my oldest five, Hayden, the best 17-year-old I know. Can't wait to celebrate this weekend. Happy birthday from listener Rold. Do you think Listener Rold goes by Listener Rold when speaking to haters? Yes. I do, too.

It's actually, it's also on Rold's name tag at the store. It says Listener Rold.

I love that. I am not somebody who likes to get in your head about background noise, because usually we can't hear it. Can you hear that? Yeah, what's going, I just hear a weird sound over the internet.

I can't tell what it is, but I think it's, speaking of the apartment building that's full of people in SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas who don't want to commit to dog ownership in a way that I find appropriate. I think that the fire alarm is going off at the apartment building.

Yeah, now I can hear it. Yeah. Yeah. Let me point the.

Yeah, that's definitely an apartment building fire alarm. That's some sort of an alarm going off. All right. Well, that's our indication that we should probably wrap things up. Yeah,

Yeah, that was kind of a strange way for me to end the show. But you know what? Let's keep them guessing, Luke.

Exactly. Never let them know your next move. Exactly. Although our next move is to be right back here tomorrow with more imaginary radio for you. So please do join us for that. I want to talk Dodgers. I want to talk Los Doyers with you tomorrow, Andrew. First of all, I want to talk about the owner of the Dodgers picking his nose and eating it. We should talk about that. And I want to talk about Shohei Otani's interpreter, allegedly stealing money because of a gambling addiction. One of these two stories is very relatable for me, and I want the listeners to guess which one. it's the nose picking the only thing we need to address when we talk about that interpreter's story is how will it affect his performance and thus my fantasy baseball team because that's what the listeners really want to know you mean the what are they called

the Akron Boys Club

the Akron Groomsmen the name of my fantasy team

we'll talk about all of that we'll talk about all of that tomorrow on the program in the meantime have a great Thursday everyone. Take care of yourselves and please remember no mountain too tall. And good luck to all.

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't see you there. I was too busy blocking out the haters.

Power out. Let.
