Hey, dummies, I know that a listener is a 10, a partner of a listener is an 11, and the

child of a listener is a 5. But we need to come up with a new term for reluctant TVTL listeners.

For example, Ryan Napp, I know you are listening and you will not admit it. Power out, guys.

I don't have a soul, but I guess that's an intergalactic space greeting. I mean, it's a low space, brothers.

So maybe this isn't exactly the most polished radio broadcast you've ever heard. They sound un-bricking, incredible together.

Listening to public radio without donating is like eating a dinner at an exquisite gourmet restaurant and then not paying the bill just walking right on out of there.

It's exactly like that. Instead of stealing food, though, you're stealing our words and our thoughts.

And please don't play this on the radio.

Alright, hello, good morning and welcome everyone to a Tuesday edition of TVTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

Gotta have that root beer!

My name is Luke Burbank, I'm your host.

It's a tough, but rewarding job, one that takes years to move into.

Coming to you, oh, once again, from the Hollywood Broadcast Center right here in beautiful Portland, Oregon.

Mama, Pa, it's just beautiful.

It is that I would say almost the perfect time of year because it's still warm out, still staying light, relatively late.

The rain has not returned, but it does have just that little bit to fall crispness edge in the air.

I don't know, I mean, spring is also very beautiful, except spring usually has a lot of rain associated with it.

I think this time of year fall might be... this might be the absolute sweet spot.

The Goldilocks Zone here in the P&W.

We have arrived at the perfect episode of the show.

It's episode 3,775 in a collector series.

Let the fun begin.
