Congratulations. You made it through the rain. You are about to listen to the third hour of the

TBTL podcast before that, though. This is Luke here to remind you that this is brought to you by

AT&T. They've got the best coverage worldwide. They've got more phones with more features.

They're friendly people. And you know what? They love TBTL. What more do you want

and then it doesn't have to get ugly. Let's do that together. Why don't we?

Hey, this is Luke. I'm searching the Los Angeles Underground for the AT&T. In the meantime,

enjoy this best of TBTL. Well, isn't it TBTL? I go crazy. I just love TBTL.

all been waiting for without further ado, I would like to welcome to the show Craig Finn and

Tad Kubler from the Hold Steady. Thanks for having us. Thank you very much for coming on TBTL.

You guys are playing at the show box soda tonight and tomorrow. Correct. And you're out on a tour

right now. Your latest record is called Stay Positive. How is the tour going? What have been the

highlights and the lowlights? I think, well, it's been a great tour. We're out with the dry-bytruckers,
