| 0:00.0 | Hey there, folks. It's Luke. Hope you're having a great Labor Day. We certainly are up here in |
| 0:05.5 | the small maritime village of Port Towns in Washington. I know Old Andy Walsh is having a great |
| 0:12.8 | Labor Day down there in Los Angeles, California, where he hangs his Fidel Castro style green, |
| 0:20.0 | Sandinista hat. I know Castro was not a Sandinista. I'm mixing my leftist Latin American political |
| 0:28.9 | movements, but I'm allowed to do that, guys, because it's Labor Day, and we're all on vacation. |
| 0:34.8 | Since we're on vacation, what we're going to play for you today is a show recorded a few |
| 0:38.7 | Labor Days ago. It was at Bumber Shoot. When we did a live TBTL and we had our friend Kumail Nanjiani |
| 0:44.7 | stop by. At that time, less famous Kumail Nanjiani. Now he's Mr. Big Time. He's on, of course, |
| 0:51.1 | Silicon Valley and Port Landia. He has a new show that's going to be out soon, which is an adaptation |

| 1:17.2 | Enjoy the last bit, the gloaming, if you will, of this summer weekend, everybody, and we'll see |
| 1:23.8 | it tomorrow, okay? Enjoy. Repeated experiments have shown that plants respond positively to |
| 1:28.9 | classical forms of music, actually growing and flowering faster than if there was no music at all. |
| 1:35.3 | Conversely, more dissonant forms of music, like heavy metal, can actually retard growth, |
| 1:40.9 | and even kill the plant. Of course, humans are much more complex than plants, but it still makes |
| 1:47.1 | one wonder what this type of music might be doing to us. TBTL! |
| 1:56.0 | When I listen to a really good song, I start nodding my head like I'm singing, yes, |
| 2:00.5 | to every beat. Yes, yes, yes, this rock. And then sometimes I switch it up like, no, no, |
| 2:06.9 | no, don't stop rocking. Rock and roll don't come from your brain, come from your crotch. |
| 2:11.6 | You're in need of a serious attitude adjustment, young man. You're about to get your priority straight. |
