Now folks, I don't want to alarm you, but scientists say 40% of America's pictures are hanging crooked.

No.

Oh, shit.

Yeah, it's true. And I hear you asking, well, who's going to straighten out all these artistic abominations?

Your friends? A neighbor? Those fat cats in Washington? Good luck. Hey, you know, maybe no one will notice. Maybe the problem will just fix itself.

Now you're the one who's being naive.

Okay, fair enough. But you sound like you're ready to become your own boss in the exciting world of frame nudging.

Yes, for a minimal franchise fee, you'll receive a pair of straightening gloves, a canister

of wall lubricant, and a booklet of the most commonly asked questions you will hear, including

who are you, and what are you doing here?

TVTL!

I am going to be telling the stories on our behalf, and you better believe I'm going to be telling the stories on our behalf,

and you better believe I'm going to be doing it with a little bit of joy,

a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit of energy, and a little bit of stick it to them.

Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm shaking, my time was shaking, my head was shaking, my arms was shaken, my legs, my feet too.

Is there...

And I'm discussing here some kind of medication that you maybe need a lot of and have taken none of, or maybe too much of today?

Hey, what do you say we both be independent together, huh?

I don't know what that means. No one knows what it means, but it's provocative. Well, all right, hello. Good morning and welcome everyone to a Tuesday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live. Oh, la la. My name's Luke Burbank. I'm your host. Yeah, everyone's got a podcast.

Coming to you from the Madrona Hill Studio.

Come back, baby!
