| 0:00.0 | Hi there podcasting enthusiasts and those who love them, Luke here. Welcome to our number one of the TBTL podcast. |
| 0:07.7 | We're going to get underway in just a moment. First though, this reminder that AT&T is the official sponsor of the TBTL podcast. |
| 0:17.2 | You get to listen to it for free, but I got to tell you, just making this podcast every month costs us, I don't know, |
| 0:23.6 | $16, $17 million. There are so many expenses, there's the bandwidth, there's a studio time, there's the team of monkeys that we have, |
| 0:35.1 | we have a giant room in our basement full of monkeys typing on laptops, and they do most of the blogging for our website, |
| 0:43.5 | and also they make sure that the audio gets uploaded to the podcast. I mean, that's where probably I'd say 15 million of it goes every month, |
| 0:50.8 | it's just just for the monkeys, and it's because we cut kind of a bad deal with the monkey union. I don't know if you know, |
| 0:57.9 | this monkey unions are incredibly hard to negotiate with, they drive a hard bargain, and if you disagree with them, |
| 1:03.5 | they fling feces at you. So basically we've got a lot of overhead every month, most of it monkey related, |
| 1:10.4 | and AT&T helps us with that, and then you get to listen to it for free, and everybody wins, including the monkeys. |
| 1:17.5 | So make sure you go to their website ATT.com, or you give them a call at 1-866 Mobility. AT&T, they are your world delivered, |
| 1:27.0 | and they are also the official sponsors of the TBTL podcast. Visit them at a store near you today, I promise they will not fling feces at you. |
| 1:36.8 | All right, enough talking, let's get to our number one of the TBTL podcast. |
| 1:41.2 | You're listening to TBTL, brought to you by the Soviet Union, and Pan-American Airlines, featuring |
| 1:50.0 | Saver Tooth Tiger, Tyrannosaurus Rex, with special guest, John Belushi, and music by Jeff Buckley, |
| 1:59.1 | and your host, who is himself, too beautiful to live, Luke Burbank. |
| 2:06.1 | Can you put your hand towards your face, please? |
| 2:11.0 | I'm sorry, Nakawa. Can you, if you have hand, close your face, close your face. I don't get that close to the glass, |
| 2:18.2 | I'm going to tell him on the floor, you know, how's this? Yes, you are not whiskey? |
| 2:24.8 | This is not whiskey, this is iced tea. If you gave me real whiskey, I need mysterious |
| 2:30.0 | face, I think I know what you want, you want this, right? I need more mysterious, and |
| 2:38.4 | more mysterious, yeah, I'll just try to think where the hell's a whiskey. |
