Hey there, Ian here. We've missed you. We are hard at work on season three, and we're very

excited for you to hear it. That'll be coming out in the spring. For now, what you're listening to

is a little bonus episode for radiotopia's fundraiser. More about that at the end of the show,

but if you like, you could pause this and make a donation right now based solely on the strength

of this rambling intro. You do that by going to radiotopia.fm. We'll get on with the show now.

Can you introduce yourself for us? Yes. Okay. What's your name?

Concentrate and ask again. Well, I'll introduce you. You're a magic eight ball.

It is certain. And I think what I'm getting here is you can only say the things a magic eight ball says.

It is decidedly so. So you have a name, but no one can ever know it, because you can't ever say it.

Yes.

I'm curious. It's maybe a weird question, but what should I be thinking of you as?

Like, would you call yourself a toy? My reply is no.

Ah, so you don't like being called a toy. Without a doubt.

Should we just call you a spiritual advisor? Yes, definitely.

Well, let me ask you some questions that I know you can answer. What's your favorite corporate

email software? Outlook good. I agree. Outlook is great. Would you describe yourself as a

procrastinator? Ask again later. What's your advice for dealing with a broken abacus? Don't count on it.

What's your advice for dealing with a broken heart?

Reply hazy. Try again. Sure. Try again. Get back out there. Good advice.

Magic eight ball. What's your favorite prog rock band? Yes. Great band. And I, because I have to ask,

are you the owner of a lonely heart? Yes.

Yes.
