| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, it's Luke. It'll be TVTL time in just a matter of about exactly 60 seconds. |
| 0:16.1 | But first, we want to tell you that TVTL gets sponsorship from Bing. Bing has been helping |
| 0:22.4 | TVTL listeners do more doing than just about any summer in the history of this show. We're |
| 0:28.0 | like on show 1146 here, not to brag. But that's because this summer, they've rolled out the |
| 0:33.8 | summer of doing, and it means that they've put all kinds of great web pages together that have |
| 0:38.9 | handy, dandy links for all kinds of adventures you can go on, including spelunking. We had someone |
| 0:44.2 | spelunking a nice lend, listener, John who emailed us about that, people doing champagne, |
| 0:50.3 | sabering, people doing upcycling, people carrying, yoking, people vertical gardening, and the list |
| 0:56.1 | goes on and on. Why? Because Bing helps you find out the stuff you need to know about quickly, |
| 1:03.5 | efficiently. It's not like going to bring you back five million results, none of which are |

| 1:23.0 | When I do my Bing search, and it goes on to social search, it tells me if any of my friends have |
| 1:28.0 | been talking about stuff that might be relevant to me. So instead of getting results from a bunch |
| 1:31.5 | of people I've never met, I actually get some help from my good friends who I trust dearly. |
| 1:36.8 | That's why we love Bing so much. Also the travel page worked great. Check that out. It gives you |
| 1:41.6 | a little arrow indicator up or down if the price of the tickets is likely to increase or go down. |
| 1:46.0 | So you know what to do there. And then of course they got Bing reward points, which actually add up |
| 1:51.9 | to stuff you can buy on the internet that will be shipped to your house, which will be real stuff, |
| 1:57.0 | real actual stuff that you can buy just for searching with Bing. You're going to use a search engine |
| 2:01.6 | like five million times a day. Why don't you use the one that supports TVTL and also gives you Bing |
