Here's to you,

We're in Prague, located where all the lobbyists dwell and all the dreams go to die, right here in the district of the Columbia IA,

where soon John Banner will not be living anymore and it will be awesome for us.

Once again we join hearts and hands and try to find some solace in each other's company in this dastardly world of sort of affairs.

On this fabulous Sunday night the night of a blood moon, and I thank you very much.

I hope you're teething a blood moon because it's occurring while this is going on tonight.

You can go to the NASA site and watch it live and if you want to do it during the show I'll see you.

I'll see the orange glow emanating from your table.

It'll be like the great pumpkin, thousands of them everywhere.

Let's have that. It's kind of Halloween-y.

It's so appropriate to have a blood moon right at the outset of October.

You think it's so Ray Bradbury?

When I was here a couple years ago, Ray Bradbury had just gone up to the heavens to start swirling and we read a giant passage from his work there.

So it's ever so appropriate that when we leave tonight there's going to be an enormous moon looming down over us.

Why would it be appropriate, Ray?

Well, I don't know.

I was just thinking it might be a poetic and kind of wonderful thing to have happen on a cool breezy night here in DC in the autumn.

But evidently you're going to stick to your vowel fucking silence.

We were in Baltimore yesterday.

We're real people who know how to laugh live and they...

No, no, no.

No, no, no. Whatever.
