| 0:00.0 | Hey guys it's Luke just this reminder that TBTL gets official sponsorship from |
| 0:05.2 | Uber. Uber is the only way to get around town. If you live in a town that has |
| 0:10.3 | it and you better pray that you do. You go online to Uber's website, you check |
| 0:15.8 | your city, you download the free app to your phone, you put in a little bit of |
| 0:20.2 | information, and then next time you need a ride you don't have to stand there, |
| 0:24.3 | hope in the cab comes by, you don't have to call your friend, you have to get in |

| 1:13.6 | and the tour date terrible. And I sat down at the desk, looked to write me |
| 1:19.1 | I and I said, just call me bald, municipal. I just come up with it. I just |
| 1:32.9 | think of it and I'm like, ah, it's funny. Yes, it is. And then I just say, you |
| 1:36.8 | could get that offshore account shaken and not stirred. Just like his martinis |
| 1:43.3 | in the James Bond. T-B-T-A-L. |
