Obviously, your kid needs a male role model because I'll be honest with you. He's soft. We can see for because he's your son. No, you spent all your time reading books and looking at numbers and letters like they mean something.

They do. Do you know how to read? I get by. All right. What do you know? You know what? Red means stop. Great. Green means go. Good. Yellow's the other one.

TVTL. If I told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I love you. We would like a large pie with pepperoni pineapple. And cheesy crust. I did not. And never would mean what some people have inferred I meant when I use the words I accidentally chose. I hope that clarifies the issue.

And this can be the last word on those words. So what are you trying to say? It's trying to say that I am so big. My bum is so big. You need to order to various countries far away to get enough material to make a pair of pants so I can fit my incredibly obese buttocks into a pair of your specially made little suits.

Objection on the grounds that I'm like what? You want you you could do so you you could you you want. I don't understand.

Gobble, gobble, gobble turkey from Jive turkey gobble it. Yes, that is the pep talk I give myself before every show because I am a magnificent bastard. And you are listening to TVTL. The show that just might be too beautiful to live.

You know, this show is like a dynasty. You hold it and then you hand it off to the next person. My name is Luke Burbank. I'm your host. This is episode 1,371 in a collector series.

It's definitely a keeper. So is this show we have lots to talk about with you on. Hi, this is Luke Swanfoozy coming tonight on TVTL.

I got sort of a big announcement. A little terrible news but also some good news and then some some truly awful news. Not really. But we do have some information I want to share with you which I didn't think I was going to have to talk about for a couple weeks but now it would appear that it's it's hitting some of the.

Some of the major radio industry blogs and by major industry blogs. I mean something I'd never heard of but the people decided to post on Facebook right over there is a guy who's been pitying fools for years but it's never personal.

I have been pitying fools for 28 years. Bill and it's never personal. His name is Andrew Walsh. Hello buddy. It's sometimes personal.

How are you on this Wednesday? I'm pretty good. Pretty good. You may have your headphones turned down a little bit. My headphones. You sound like the Will Ferrell character who can't modulate his voice. Am I yelling too much? You're doing a little bit.

Okay, I'll turn up my headphones. Turn the bass up on my headphones. Now you're too quiet. Just talk like a normal person. Is this thing can you hear me? Happy gay marriage day.

Thank you. And to you. Can I gay marry that lady from Texas? You did the filibuster. I mean it wouldn't be a gay marriage but I just feel like maybe we should.

Although somebody pointed out and we're not going to get political this show I promise we are not going to get political but somebody pointed out that turns out to black men can now you know get gay married in places or at least have their more more accurately they can have their gay marriage respected in other states other than where they got gay married.

But don't try to vote. Whatever you do. Don't go to the south and try to. Right. So it's a kind of actually on the subject of which that woman who did that filibuster in Texas she kept her job. Did you see that because of the Voting Rights Act? No, what do you mean?

They tried to redistrict her. They tried to redraw the lines of her district in Texas and she would have certainly lost and they challenged it under the Voting Rights Act.

Oh, really preserved her seat in the Texas State Senate which allowed her to make that awesome filibuster. Really? Yeah. See those were the kinds of examples. It's all interconnected. I had a real trouble. I had real trouble kind of grounding myself on the on the voters' right stuff yesterday. I actually thought you did a good job talking about it with with curly last night. Really? Yeah. Oh, thanks. I was pretty embarrassed about that. I felt like I didn't have a good grasp on the issue. Oh, thank you. You just know that was deeply embarrassing.

Anyway, enough politics. I had a line today, Andrew, that I thought was one of the most inspired I've ever come up with on the radio show. I heard it live, man.

Because we were, I was wondering why it is that Ecuador is seems so interested in sheltering Julian Assange and now also seems to have offered its help to this guy at Snowden.

It's debatable as if those leakers, if they're heroes, if they are traitorous. I'm not even talking about that part of it, but it's definitely going to tick the US off if you take them, those sorts, if you take them into your borders and then don't extradite them.

And I said, what the heck, Ecuador? Here I always said that. Yeah, I heard the heck, Ecuador.
