I mean, you see what I mean? It's like one of those, it's like a, it's like a, it's a Zen thing.

It's like, you know, you know, how many babies, you know, fit in the, in the tire thing that hold the old joke, you know?

No, you have a point.

Quite so, hey there folks, welcome everybody to a Thursday afternoon edition of TBTL.

This is the show that just might be too beautiful to live. My name is Luke Burbank, I'm your host,

it's episode 1,234 in a collector series and as this audio makes its way into your little ears.

I'm probably on an airplane or an attacksy cab or somehow working my way towards Chicago, Illinois,

where I will be taking part tonight in the recording of, way, way to don't tell me the NPR News quiz,

which you'll be able to hear this weekend on your finer public radio stations.

So we're, we're putting up a little audio tape, a little journey into some of the, the best of the TBTL archives today.

Before we get to that, let me just to remind you that we're creating a list of the top seven episodes of TBTL,

which we're going to play on the, the week of Christmas and then the couple of days after.

This is your chance, if there is an episode of TBTL that you think is, is really one of the best.

And you know, in the case of TBTL, the best can often mean the worst.

Maybe it's the biggest train wreck, but you for some bizarre reason found it engaging and entertaining.

And you think it's something maybe other people should hear.

We're always getting new listeners to the show and some of them don't know their TBTL history,

which as we say on the show, if you don't know your TBTL history, you're doomed to repeat it.

So send an email to me and Andrew, it's luke at TBTL.net, or you can, and also CC Andrew,

it's a TBTL music at gmail.com.

And give us an explanation, give us an argument for why you think the episode you're suggesting

should be one of the top seven episodes of TBTL, which we will then be counting down,
