The Hello, it's another episode of the midnight air and I'm Daniel Han Kirk.

Thanks to everybody who has been sending me feedback about this show, things that makes them think of,

contributions that they would like to make, everything from sex and relationship advice questions, which we'll be doing tomorrow

night, to stories on paranormal and their love of diners, including their dad's diner mug collection that we talked

about a couple nights ago. So thanks so much for everybody who sends stuff in to

the midnight mailbag at g email.com that's the midnight mailbag at

gmail dot com or you can message me via patreon

patreon dot com slash Daniel van Kirk and some people have joined up to just follow that page as well and I

appreciate I appreciate you guys for doing that. So it's Thursday we mix things up

a little bit sometimes it's Thursday we mix things up a little bit. Sometimes it's some mystery, sometimes it's crazy story,

sometimes it's a deep dive into a,

the origin of a food or a grocery item or a restaurant.

Tonight, I'm going to be doing a sort of a deep dive,

not really, I guess there's a bit of a mystery to it.

How did this happen? Even though we sort of know why I think but more it's just a crazy story and

this story's been covered a different ways, I think.

I don't think it's super popular, though.

It was new to me when I came across it.

I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

I'm going to tell the story from the first person perspective.

So think of sort of like maybe if you listen

to any segment of this American life that has like David Sedaris.
