Hi there, team. It's Luke. Welcome to our number two of the TBTL podcast. Just this brief reminder

0:06.8

before we get underway that the TBTL podcast is sponsored exclusively by AT&T. They are the

0:13.0

wireless provider for our fine radio show and podcast. And they're also the reason why you get

0:19.2

to hear this absolutely for free. And that's a good thing. Let me tell you because if we didn't have

0:25.6

AT&T kicking in for this podcast, we would be going with our backup backup plan, essentially plan

0:32.5

C, which was smoke signals. And there are so many problems that I can't even really get into it.

0:39.7

First of all, I'm not sure culturally how sensitive that would actually be.

0:43.7

Secondly, I feel like the ability to sort of express what I have to say about Kanye West would

And last but not least, there's all that smoke, your coughing, your eyes are watering. And by the

1:13.2

which is www.att.com, or give them a jingle on the phone, 1-866 mobility AT&T. They've got more

1:21.7

bars in more places, and they're the official sponsor of the TBTL podcast. Hello, earthquake, we come

back to Harvey, but we're living to TBTL on 973FF. I love you.

1:37.2

He's that's really your idea. Have hope to run a newspaper. I don't know how to run a

1:40.8

newspaper, Mr. Fatcher. I just try everything I can think of. Well, I happen to see your financial

1:45.2

statement today, Charles. I did you. Now, tell me honestly, my boy, don't you think it's rather

1:50.0

unwise to continue this philanthropic enterprise, this empire that's costing you a million dollars a

1:56.2

year? You're right, Mr. Fatcher. I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a

2:00.1

million dollars this year. I expect to lose a million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Fatcher,
