| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, it's Luke. We are going to get started with TBTL in just one moment. First though, you know, it's summertime and |
| 0:23.1 | summer's all about doing stuff, right? It's Monday. You're probably just getting off the weekend. You're probably out there enjoying all kinds of fun activities. Well, if you've got some doing that you want to learn more about this summer, being is just the place to do it. In fact, being is really where you should be hanging out when you're searching for internet information. Why? Well, because they've got social search, which means when you search for something, if your Facebook friends have also had experiences with those things. If you're wondering about maybe a hotel you want to stay at |
| 0:53.1 | Tucson, and one of your friends has stayed at a hotel there and they've written about on their Facebook page, it'll actually find that info for you. So you can get feedback from people who you know and trust. Also, they've got being reward points, which means if you search around on being, you actually you build up points that you can trade for real things, real actual tangible things on the internet. And then last but not least, they've got this list of different things that they're encouraged people to encouraging people to do this summer. Lots of doing. We've had |
| 1:23.1 | people, well, we did a little karaokeing on Friday night, which was one of the things they were there to help you with last week. Boy, I could have used some help on when to stop doing it when it comes to karaoke. I made some questionable decisions, which you'll hear more about during today's program. Nonetheless, we've had people champagne sabering and upcycling and spolunking in Iceland and doing all kinds of fun stuff. It's all stuff they've been learning about. Thanks to Bing. And they're summer of doing, you know, they're an official sponsor of TBTL. |
| 1:53.1 | Speaking of doing, let's get going with some TBTL right now. I wouldn't French kiss in a million years. And why the hell not? Hello, germs, spit, mucus, old bits of food. That's just the name of a couple. There's a lot of things in there. I mean, what do you have to use your tongue anyway? Aren't you supposed to kiss? |
| 2:23.1 | With your lips? Because it's not a real kiss unless you use your tongue. Why? What's the point? I mean, what do you supposed to do, lick the inside of her mouth? Are you supposed to lick her teeth? God, though, enough. What I want to know now, since everybody seems to think the French kissing is so great. TBTL! |
| 2:54.1 | Check it. I'm just saying that. Let's not shove it under the mat. We all know that American people are pretty overweight. Everybody's drinking the coffee! Everybody's pouring the cream! |
| 3:11.1 | Sorry, sorry. Sorry, it's actually never happened to me. Yeah, yeah, you think it's being a dungeon master getting the license to mess with our heads. |
| 3:28.1 | Oh, wait, so we're done with the show. That's when the apologizing really gets started. Hey folks, welcome to a Monday edition of TBTL. This is the show that just might be too beautiful to live. |
| 3:42.1 | I've been waiting for this moment for months and it's finally here. This is episode 1140 in a collector's series. This is special. This is special. |
| 3:55.1 | My name is Luke Burbank. I'm your host. I'm still not ready to tell you my weight. Give it a few more days. And then maybe I'll feel comfortable. I think the show's still going to be okay. |
| 4:08.1 | But that doesn't stop a former. Especially when it comes to heritage equipment. You know how we are with our heritage equipment here on the TBTL. We've got a lot of stuff to get to on this Monday. |
| 4:19.1 | This is Luke's mom, Suzy coming tonight on TBTL. NASA's got a new hunk or a lot. And we talked to him earlier today. We'll play the tape. Are you ready for bowback for Dousey fever? |
| 4:34.1 | Because the internet's caught it. And it's intense. Also Matt Lauer uses a term on national television that we don't use anymore on national television. |
| 4:47.1 | Racist. Or hopefully anywhere else. We'll get into the origins of the term Indian giver. Racist. And all of its complexities. Which actually turns out not that complex. It's just kind of racist mostly. |
| 5:01.1 | Right over there is New Hampshire. The pride of New Hampshire. Andrew Walsh. How are you? |
| 5:08.1 | Pretty good. You get for Dousey fever. That's through mosquitoes, right? I think so. Or is it drinking brackish water? Maybe what it is is the brackish water attracts the mosquitoes. And then they mate with a setsy fly. |
| 5:22.1 | Okay, that way. I've one of those screens around my bed. So I have not caught for Dousey fever. |
| 5:27.1 | I have a mosquito net. I got from the United Nations. But it's it's getting a little thread bear. If there's a bad dang a fever joke, I haven't heard it. |
| 5:37.1 | How are you feeling on this Monday? We both had a very active weekend. Feeling a lot better than I did on this Sunday, which was yesterday. |
| 5:45.1 | Boy, I don't get hung over all that often because frankly, it's just a way of being for me. But yesterday was rough. |
| 5:53.1 | Yeah, you had a you had to get together you and Veeves on Saturday night, which was great fun. Yeah, I I also was feeling it yesterday. |
