| 0:00.0 | No vans, no die packs, put your money on the counter. This is TBTF. |
| 0:21.3 | Welcome to hour number two of this Friday night edition of TBTL. |
| 0:30.3 | The show that's probably too beautiful to live. Luke Burbank, here with longtime producer Jen Flash |
| 0:36.3 | Andrews and Sean Ditori, Japan's number one mixer. Hi, Sean. Hi. How are you doing in there? |
| 0:42.8 | I'm doing good. Great. Good. Glad to hear it. This will be interesting to Sean because you can |
| 0:47.7 | actually be around for this now. Yeah, totally. Whereas because you've actually probably listened |
| 0:51.8 | more closely to these interviews with Drew McFriz than anyone because you've been here operating |

| 1:46.6 | of course, since then, we're happy to report. Has, have you had even a speeding ticket? |
| 1:51.4 | No. I haven't had any run-ins with the law at all. |
| 1:55.2 | And so he's been telling us this story this week and we've been getting a lot of people |
| 2:00.0 | emailing us in, calling and asking questions about things along the way that we may be neglected |
| 2:05.7 | to find out about. So we thought it would make sense to have Mike slash Drew in here to answer |
| 2:12.9 | some of them. So I guess should I just start reading through some of these emails, Chandler, |
