Hey, hello there. Welcome to a Friday afternoon edition of TBTL.

This is the show that's probably too beautiful to live. Luke Burbank here along with Jen

Flash Andrews right over there the longtime producer of the show. Hello, Jennifer. Hello. What's your what's your big plan for the weekend?

Well, it's the Downton Abbey finale. Oh, right. So that's exciting. And you know, it's gonna pour rain. Is it bitter sweet? The Downton Abbey is coming to an end?

A little bit, but it's it's it's been a great run. You know, I'm not I'm ready for this stuff to some of the stuff to conclude.

Some of it's been a little drawn out. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Yeah. So it's going to be actually very British. The weather too.

Re-raining and gross. Yes. Do you do like a Britishie thing? I know when you watch top chef, you make yourself a little food. Do you do like a British thing with Downton Abbey?

I haven't yet, but I feel like this is going to be a huge deal. I think on Sunday night. And it's not competing with anything. There's no Golden Gloves. There's no Grammys. You know, it's it's kind of a dead spot before the Oscars the following weekend. So I might play it up a little more. Nice.

I, um, I'll be involved in birthday celebrations. I should say, by the way, happy birthday to my little daughter who's not that little. She's 18 years old as of today.

And, uh, yeah, it's incredible. I can't quite wrap my mind around it. But anyway, we're going to be doing all manner of birthday celebrating this weekend. And I will also be at the triple door on Saturday night. I'm seeing a charity fundraiser for the Vera project, which is a really cool all ages music organization that puts together shows and for for all ages and also helps bands get going and all this stuff. So that's going to be really fun.

Maybe I'll see y'all out at the at the triple door. Do you feel any pressure? I feel so much pressure about Hugo and the artist. And I feel like I have to go see these movies before the Oscars. And do you feel that pressure too?

Well, those ones I don't mind seeing. It's war horror that I'm dreading. And there's one more on there. There's one more on there. I don't want to see. Because I mentioned on the show that me and Adi had this plan one night.

Because we're going to see the descendants. And we got all excited. And we said, let's see all the movies on the Oscars list for best picture. And then we started looking at the list. And I was like, Oh, man, but I'm not going to see extremely loud and incredibly close.

But I do feel like I have got to see that I was just seeing about this weekend. And like this, it's rainy. There's not really that much going on. I really should just go and see Hugo and the artist. That's what I should do this weekend.

Yeah, I might try to power through a couple of those this weekend. You're right. Maybe for Adi's birthday, I'll get her a king size bag of Skittles at the movie, at the movieplex, which is expensive. That would be probably $30 to $40.

So it's not like I'm not cheaping out on the whole thing. We've got a, we've got a little treat for you. Oh, treat. That's a segue.

It's dessert. We had this mystery that we were trying to solve a couple of years back. And it was about this local ice cream parlor called ferals, where if you grew up in the Seattle area, and weren't there a couple in California and Oregon, didn't we learn?

I think so. It wasn't just us.

But there was one in Seattle, which is now turned into Kathy's pizza. They show all the UFC fights.

In case you want to go check that out. Yeah, it was it was this like gay 1800s ice cream parlor called ferals when we were kids. And it was the place to go because when it was your birthday, they would wind up this big like kind of what would you call it?

Horn or something.

Siren thing and they would hit the drum and come out your ice cream cone with your ice cream dish would look like a clown. It'd be wearing a jauntie hat that was the sugar cone and the rest.
