0:00.0	You're finally at that hot new spot, the one your friends keep raving about, sitting across from your date.
0:06.6	It's going another round.
0:08.3	Really well. And that dish you've been dying to try? Oh, it's headed your way. You can smell it.
0:14.2	Here it's sizzling fresh off that skillet as it comes closer, closer, and served. Go ahead. Enjoy. After your phone sneaks a bite first,
0:23.7	when you're with Amex, it's not if it's going to happen, but when? American Express, don't live life without it.
0:45.0	Hey! Welcome to the story-worthy podcast.
1:02.8	Here are your hosts, Christine Blackburn, and I'm here with Hannah Sfini, and we're coming to you from Mobile, Alabama, where Chequers, burgers, and
1:10.0	fries was created in 1968. You say to yourself, you say self, why would we be coming from the headquarters of Chequers or Raleigh Burger, who are now one company? Because Chequers and Raleigh Burger have my favorite hamburger in the world. The Big Buford. The Big Buford. Oh my gosh, Honest, finally, God damn, that took a long time to
1:29.5	I know, I know. We really went a long way to get back to the, yeah, the big Buford. I love the big Buford because it's like, I mean, what better name for it? It's like you will turn into Buford. Fair enough. You will turn to a guy named Buford if you eat more than three of these things. I'm on board, man. My daughter's name is Alabama. So I'll come from Alabama if that's what you want to do.
1:46.5	That's right. And I'll come from Alabama if that's what you want to do.
1:46.5	That's right.
1:47.1	And I think why Honest wants to come from Buford, Alabama, or where are we coming from exactly? Mobile, Alabama. Home of the Buford Burger, because killing Buford is our topic tonight. That's right. Killing Beaufort is our topic tonight. Wayne Federman brings the topic to us,
1:59.7	Wayne Federman. And you know,
2:01.1	Honest, I say to myself, hey, Wayne, man, you got to give me something, you know, like a hint,
2:05.7	a sentence, or like two or three adjectives. And then he says, uh, Beaufort was a ventriloquist dummy.
2:13.7	Yeah. Usually it's kind of like, oh, you know, bad breakup or cross-country chip. It's like, no,
2:21.0	Buford was a ventriloquist. I had to kill it. So it's like, I need to know this story and I need to know
2:25.8	right now. And I do too. And frankly, of course, I have no story about ventriloquists because I'm
2:30.0	terrified of them. Yes, much like as we've discussed many times before, but we will fill time. Again, Christine is terrified of black and white movies. That's right. Because the people in there are dead. Even though there are plenty of movies in color with dead people in them. That's exactly right. I'm not totally, you know, there's that. Go ahead. You're afraid of, you're afraid of clowns, but I'm not going to.
