Hi, I'm Brendan Francis Nuneum.

And I'm Rico Gagliano, and earlier this week we were delighted to receive our very first piece of fan mail.

Yes, that's capital M mail, not capital e-mail, which we receive all the time.

Of course, we were talking an analog paper envelope with stuff inside of it.

No return address or last name on it, very mysterious.

Here's what the letter said.

Dear Rico and Brendan, if I can tip my bartender for the beer he brought me, I can tip you

to for the podcast you brought me. Love Tony. And he included three actual dollar bills.

Oh. Very nice. You know, firstly, I'm really stoked that Tony Bennett's a listener of our

show. I'm a long time fan. Actually, I don't know that the handwriting seems a little more like Tony Danza.

Also a fan of Alyssa. We'll take Danza. But in any case, we appreciate the sentiment and the cash, but we don't want our second piece of fan mail to come from the IRS. That's right. So we encourage you and others to donate to our show via our website,

DinnerParty Download.org.

And yes, any amount will do, it's all really, really appreciated.

Actually, wait, it could be Tony, Tony, Tony who sent it to us.

That's brilliant, like a dollar from each member.

That's totally possible.

Ladies and gentlemen, here is your icebreaker.

Okay, here's the joke.

I think it's great that airliners fly very high up in the sky.

That way you really get your money's worth when they crash.

I'm Brendan Francis Nuneum.

I'm Rico Gagliano and from American Public Media.
