Hola amigos, it's Luke. We'll get started with TBTL in just a moment. First though, this quick reminder that the new Ford Fiesta is the official sponsor of TBTL.

0:12.0

It's a great car. It's great. Fuel economy up to 40 miles a gallon out there on the freeway. All kinds of Bluetooth awesomeness inside the car.

0:21.0

If you want to see one in person and you're in the Seattle area, go to Evergreen Ford in Isequat or Bowen Scarf Ford in Kent, or if you're down in the south end, go to All Star Ford in Olympia or Lakewood Ford in Tacoma.

0:33.0

Or you can go to mynewfiesta.com to see a picture, many pictures in fact of me and the new Ford Fiesta. The new Ford Fiesta, it's a pretty big deal.

If you have it, you don't need it. If you need it, you don't have it. If you have it, you need more of it. If you have more of it, you don't need less of it. You need it to get it.

1:00.0

And you certainly need it to get more of it. But if you don't already have any of it to begin with, you can't get any of it to get started, which means you really have no idea how to get it in the first place.

1:12.0

Do you? You can share it, sure. You can even stockpile it if you'd like, but you can't fake it, wanting it, needing it, wishing for it.

1:25.0

The point is, if you've never had any of it, ever, people just seem to know.

T-B-T-L!

1:42.0

Welcome everybody to a Wednesday afternoon edition.

1:46.0

T-B-T-L, it's the show that's probably too beautiful to live. It's episode 604 in a collector's series.

1:54.0

My name is Luke Burbank, I'm your host, assisted here, kind of, by a girlfriend's fond of an S.

2:02.0

You're having trouble talking because you're gulping down a piece of Amish friendship bread, given to us by our one nice neighbor.

2:10.0

That's right, yeah, our one nice neighbor came over and said she made, she was experimenting with a chocolate cinnamon friendship bread recipe.

2:20.0

And it is delicious, I can verify. She did preface that by saying everyone else hated it. She said something like her son-in-law was like, gross!

2:28.0

So she was like, I brought you some, but regardless, it was very nice. And she's the one person, by the way, this is yet another edition of T-B-T-L, rough in it.

2:38.0

The show's coming to you from a remote mountain hideaway. I kind of figured we'd get here and our neighbors would just be like, all bringing out the Amish friendship bread as it were.

2:47.0

Yeah, I thought so too, you think country. What else do these people have to live for?

2:53.0

Well, maybe it's that kind of thinking that's made everyone secretly hate us. But no, it's weird, it's because like the immediate neighbors, I think there's a thing because a lot of people live on this lake.

3:03.0

Yeah. And they all know each other, and then we're just renting a place from someone.

3:07.0

So we're kind of the lower class, and they've all kind of taken time to make friends with each other.

3:12.0
