How we do in New Orleans?

How we do doing New Orleans? Welcome to the audible,

Welcome to the audible, presented as always by Trader Joe's.

We thank them for the gift cards that you guys just got for the

trivia questions and thanks so much to Andy and to all our guests and everybody

at the Athletic who helped put this together.

Sorry for being late. I went the wrong way.

would be appreciated. Of course the guy who does the Freaks list would make a special effort to highlight my weight.
