Hey there everybody, it is Luke, a welcome to the show today. It is Monday, the second of January.

It's the first day of the rest of our lives. And it's also a day that we are going to actually take

off from doing the show in honor of New Year's Day, which was yesterday. If some of you don't know

the yesterday was New Year's Day, you might have had a little bit too much fun on New Year's Eve.

Don't worry though, we have a show for you. This is actually an episode of the program that was

recorded at the very beginning of 2016. So this was the first show we did going into 2016.

And the reason I thought it might be kind of interesting to listen to today is because,

as you will be unsurprised to hear, because it was the first day of 2016 that we were doing a show.

I decided that it was also a good day to announce I had a new workout plan going. I was on a new diet.

I was trying all kinds of new exciting self-improvementy things. And so you can listen to this episode,

and then you can listen to this episode with the kind of smug, prescient knowledge of how things

actually turned out, as far as my fitness goes and my dietary plans and all that stuff. Also,

it was the week leading up to a football game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Minnesota Vikings

in the playoffs, which also had a crazy ending, which we all know now. So we're hoping that you'll

find this show kind of entertaining and kind of interesting. We're going to get in the old time

machine and travel back to almost exactly one year ago on this date in this best of TBTL. Take a

listen. Maybe we should talk about deep to the case, plan our next move, grab a little chow.

No need. I brought these nutrition bricks. I have original no flavor and whole wheat no flavor.

Nutrition bricks sound great, or we could grab a little street meat, kind of a classic steak out food,

but whatever. Huh, meat from the street sounds like a fun treat. My poet and didn't even know I

was rhyming those words. TBTL. You blew it. Super hard. Complete buffoonery. It's hilarious and you

deserve it. I'm sorry. I failed you both as a scary monster and a friend. I'm a great guest on
