Hello, dearies. Welcome to our number one of the TBTL podcast. I'm Luke Burbank. We're going to have that for you in just a second.

First, though, this quick reminder that the TBTL podcast is sponsored by AT&T, they're the official wireless provider of our fine radio show and podcast.

And you know, it costs a lot of money to put this together. You know, we're all doing our part to cut back on expenses.

I've gone out and gotten a paper route to help pay for this podcast.

Well, I didn't really, I didn't get a paper out, but I mean, I get the paper and I've stopped tipping the paper boy at Christmas time.

You know, they give you that little envelope. Like, what are they just giving you an envelope as a gift? No, that's because you're supposed to put a tip in it.

And I've been not doing that. That's my commitment to you. What have you done lately? Well, hopefully what you're going to do is check out AT&T's website, which is AT&T.com.

Or you're going to give them a phone call at 1-866 mobility and look to them for all of your wireless needs.

They're the official sponsor of the TBTL podcast and they're just sweet, sweet human beings.

Make sure you check out a store near you. All right, here we go. Our number one of the TBTL podcast.

There's a little bit of TBTL. There's a little bit of brake. Then I'm just on the side of the line.

It's so good. It's really sweet. It's beautiful to hear.

Let me ask you, is there a term besides Mexican that you prefer something less offensive?

Mexican is an offensive. Well, certain connotations. Like what? Like, I don't know. What connotations, Michael?

No, no, no. I'm just curious. Honesty, empathy, respect.

The hallmarks of a Thursday night edition of TBTL, the show that's probably too beautiful to live.

Indeed, starting with me, your host, Luke Burbank, weighing in at £191.

Spock sabotage the system.

I suspect sabotage is a foot, but that's just my working theory at the moment. Oh man.

Well, here's some good news. Hi, this is Luke's mom, Susie, coming tonight on TBTL.

A crazy story out of New Jersey. Two mayors arrested and a plot, an alleged plot involving kickbacks,

bribes, and kidney smuggling. Time for a new segment. Whoa, no need to resort to stereo types.
