I used to be able to name every nut that there was and that used to drive my mother crazy because she used to say

Harlan Pepper if you don't stop naming the nuts and the joke was of course that we didn't have to

find nut and I think that's what put it in my head at that point. So I'd go to see she'd hear me in the other room

and she would just start yelling. I'd say peanut, hazelnut, cashew nut,

macadamia nut, that was the one that was saying her into a go-and-crazy. She said, you stop naming nuts.

pistachio nut, red pistachio nut, natural oil, natural white pistachio nut,

kind nut which isn't nut but also the name of the town.

I cannot believe this stuff is on the radio. I'm going to collect myself because this is what our use is being subjected to.

If you could imagine you took a Viking and fed him crack and whiskey for a thousand years, you're in the right ballpark.

I don't know what you guys are up to and I certainly don't know what butt hurt means.

Well if it makes you feel better I'd rather be up here with you than down there with those teenage people with their

dreams and their hashtags and drake, drakes.

Damn everyone, welcome to a Tuesday afternoon edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

I do it because my brain is bad.

Coming to you from the Burbank Springs Broadcast Center, perched to top Alabama Hill in Bellingham, Washington, the Bay City.

Time for cat massage.

The Bay Kitty. Bay Kitty is roaming somewhere in the yard or house on a windy, windy day here in Bellingham.

But I have to tell you something, it's good that the Bay Kitty is not in this room right now because she would be getting a stern talking to from me.

Why? Because I have lost my mind and become the embodiment of a Garfield cartoon.

No, because as I sat down at this chair today to record this pod cart, I looked at the windscreen on my expensive broadcast quality microphone and a certain Bay Kitty has just shredded the shit out of it.
