Hi, my name is Annabelle and my mom has been listening to this podcast and started and I have started listening to it

and I never realized how much I really needed to know how to solve a problem like Maria.

Now I know because of you. Thank you. I'll see you at the Technic with Muscle, the Astor Granger.

T-B-T-L!

Well, it's really kind of simple. See, I speak into this and my voice is instantaneously transmitted out where it's heard by well over 100 people.

You shouldn't say that. That's off-putting. You should be off-putting. It's your fat. You shouldn't eat anymore pudding.

Yeah, yeah. What does it like really to be you right now? I mean, when we think of you,

I think of you as the rule of the world. You are the pre-eminent mistress of the universe.

So what is that like to be right now? I don't really know how to end this conversation.

So, high five. Sure.

High five is all around, ladies and gentlemen, because it is time for a Wednesday afternoon edition of T-B-T-L.

The show that just might be too beautiful to live. It's a thunder-y, lightning-y, intermittently rainy Wednesday here in the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington.

Had my car broken into last night. But thank God these thieves were fairly careless and took just the stuff that was in the change store.

More on my new secret, by the way, to making car breakings not as upsetting as they might otherwise be. It's called leaving the car unlocked, it turns out.

This is episode 1,924 in a collector's series, by the way. And we noticed some stories bouncing around the internet and we grabbed them like quick silver. We've trapped them and we've studied them and we're going to present them to you, including.

Tinders, huge meltdown on Twitter yesterday. That is to say, the dating app Tinder used the social media app Twitter to go off on the Dead Tree magazine Vanity Fair, which had written a piece about how the dating app Tinder is creating a culture of casual hookups that some people don't enjoy it turns out.

So we'll tell you what went on there. Also, I will play for you a piece of audio tape that I am almost certain will be Andrew's least favorite audio that has ever been played on this show during his watch.

It involves Michelle Rodriguez. It involves Bear Grills, the first while survivalist. It involves a mouse. And it involves human urine.

So I can tell you about it. Oh, plus in our email segment, the origins of big league chew have been clarified for us. And also one of the listeners has some advice on how I can actually get into black coffee.

Although another day, another cup of Starbucks for me as I sip some of that moon juice right here at the top of the show.

Time for me to stop talking and time for this guy to start. His name is Andrew Walsh. He's in the Kriotown neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

Hey, buddy. Hey, man. I've ever told you that I think of you as kind of the top of the world, the preeminent mistress of the universe.
