You know, everything is not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are that are funny or or mildly amusing or

0:08.2

Interesting. You're a miracle. Your stories have none of that. They're not even amusing accidentally.

0:16.0

It's like going on a date with a chatty, Kathy doll.

0:19.8

I expect you have a little string on your chest. You know that they pull out and have to snap back.

0:24.2

I wouldn't pull it out and snap it back. You would.

0:26.2

By the way, when you're telling these little stories, here's a good idea. Have a point. It makes it so much more interesting for the listener.

0:46.2

I forgot to give the pet talk about please clap at the beginning of the show, but this crowd just knew instinctively.

0:54.2

I think it's going to be that kind of TBL episode. Hi everybody. Welcome to a very special TBL from the Virgin Hotel in Chicago, Illinois.

1:10.2

This right here is episode 2,265 in a collector's series.

1:16.2

This is special. This is special. My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host.

1:22.2

I don't think so in Chicago. I think that they have 24 hour fish sandwich places all over and I think we're going to avail ourselves of that later.

1:32.2

Right now, what we have to do though is bring you this episode of imaginary radio that we are so excited to share with all of you.

1:56.2

2:16.2

We've got a very special guest that I think is going to really, really excite everybody who's here, including people in the front row who are celebrating who might have figured out who the special guest is.

2:26.2

Or you just have a nerve condition where you tightly ball your fists for no apparent reason.

2:34.2

That's the plan for the next hour or so. Thanks everybody who's here in Chicago with us. Thanks everybody listening out in the imaginary radio land.

2:40.2

I got to say hi to this guy. He told me a few minutes ago as we got into the elevator. I'm getting the fear.

2:48.2

So I think we're going to have an exciting show. His name is Andrew Walsh. He's the hodor of podcasting. He's been sampling Chicago's legendary taco scene.
