You know, I went on a spree in 83, skiing in Switzerland, a little golf in Scotland, sailing and fishing off the coast of Mexico, swimming in Hawaii, and on my way to that city by the bay with its restaurants and on beyond San Francisco, I decided to stop over in Duluth to catch my breath.

But you know what? It took my breath away, and I could have saved myself a lot of traveling, you know why?

Because it's all right here, Duluth, who loves your baby, I do.

Hey, welcome to my show, everybody. I know you did pay with $100, but here, here's $100 back to you.

And after my show, I shall live in Courtsports Boxhouse on the street, because I do not understand financials, and I am poverty.

I have no idea what you just said, but I feel totally transformed.

Let the filibustering begin!

Well, hello, and good morning, everyone. Welcome to a Monday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be, too beautiful to live.

My name is Luke Burbank, I am your host, coming to you today from Studio P, in the upstairs region of the American Public Media,

slash Minnesota Public Radio Mother Ship at 7th and Cedar on a extremely rainy morning here in St. Paul, Minnesota.

We have so much to talk about here on episode 2884 in a collector series.

And I'm going to get all anecdotal on you.

Lots of personal stories about questionable haircuts, and pizza order I called in last night, and we'll also actually some real talk.

That's the fun began.

In a segment that we're calling Minnesota, where we talk about stories from right here in St. Paul, Minnesota, including the fact that

they banned those rental scooters for a little while, and I wonder if I played a role in that, because I did take what has been described in local media as an epic scooter ride once on Andrew's dime.

So I don't know, I may have played a role in that issue.

Also, a Haberdashery here in St. Paul is building a radio studio.

And I want this episode of the show to officially be my application to have a show at the Haberdashery in St. Paul, because it sounds like the most delightful thing I've ever heard of in my life.

So we'll talk about that.

Speaking of the most delightful people you ever met in your life, let's get this guy on the program, the longest running co-bro of the show known for his drawings of tall ships, their grace, and their splendor he's going to be out looking for the finest tacos to be had here in the St. Paul area.

Of course, that's later.
