Welcome to episode

of the Charles C.W. Cook podcast.

I shall spare you the weather report this week because, once again, it is nice and sunny.

Is that a weather report perhaps? That's preterition.

Those pesky Romans would have said.

A couple of things before we start. A few people have asked me what the intro to the last episode was all about.

That was Luther Abel. Now, look, I don't know what I have to do to persuade you that Luther actually exists because it seems that a large portion of the audience of this show

doesn't believe that Luther exists. I can't do that accent. Also, we went on our roller coaster extravaganza trip together in August, and then he came

on the show to talk about it with me. So unless I did both sides of the conversation, or faked the

entire one-week trip, where it was really just me, and I pretended that it was him, sent in expense

reports for two people and double-bought tickets and hamburgers and motel rooms and so

forth, then you really do have to believe that Luther is a real person, just a dead one,

who isn't real.

I have been watching this television show.

I think I mentioned this on the editors.

That's the other podcast.

I'm on at National Review.

You should be listening to that podcast, too, if you're not already.

The television show is called kunk.

Kunk on.

And various words follow that.

And it features a fictional character played by Diane Morgan called Philomena Kunk.
