Hey, it's me, your memory. Now, this episode is coming out on Memorial Day. That might be about

something else, but I'm here to tell you that you've got to remember to do something.

What's that something? You've got to remember to listen to an episode of this podcast. Before we continue my first of returning through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First and foremost, I am coming to a city near you if you live in or near the cities that I'm about to announce. We've got some half-potteros, half Teno shows on the horizon. We've got those in Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, and Hartford. So June 14th in Cleveland, June 16th in Detroit, June 18th in Toronto, and July 15th in Hartford. You can get tickets to all of those shows at ponderlospodgas.com slash live. I will also be in Chicago, Milwaukee, in Minneapolis, in August on the 7th, 8th,

and 10th, respectively. Those shows are just for the newest Olympian, though, but if you like that podcast and you like me, or you need an excuse to listen to that podcast, you can listen to all the episodes, and then boom, you can enjoy that. Those tickets will also be at potterilspodcast.com and later in the future, I'm going to have some TNO-only shows, Washington, D.C., September 28th, Philadelphia, October 21st, and New York City, October 22nd. Again, tickets for all those shows, potterless podcast.com slash live. Now, if you're unable to attend those shows, make sure you follow Potterless on social media, because I will be trying to see if I can get at least one of those shows to be a live stream show. I just have to reach out to the venues and see if they have that capability. And if you want some extra potterless content in your life, a reminder, as always, that you can still go to patreon.com slash potterless, even though that Patreon has been rebranded for the newest Olympian, you can still get access to five years worth of potterless posts by joining the, oh, I just want the Potterless stuff tier, and you can get access

to all the bonus audio and episodes and video and director's commentary and my notes. All that stuff

is available for just four bucks a month at patreon.com slash potterless. Now, what are you going to hear

in this episode? In this episode, you will be hearing two comedic TED Talk style talks that I'm calling Fred Talks. I performed these in June of 2022 in Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Minnesota-St. Paul. This recording is from the Milwaukee show that was on June 20th, and I had a blast doing it. It was a very unique situation. I didn't have guests that were able to either travel with me or I didn't know folks in the

area. So I went for some solo shows and I had a blast. And the crowd at this Milwaukee show also had a

blast. I think that really comes through. And I think you will enjoy them as much as you will enjoy

this episode. So without further ado, let's get into that episode as I perform two comedic TED Talk style

talks, aka Fred Talks,

the first of which is why my Hermione three theory is better than actually what happens in

book three, which is the use of time turners.

And the second is about how Ludo Bagman could have been the coolest villain ever if he was

actually a villain and not just a red heron.

So let's get into this episode of Potterless starring me and no guess because I was solo
