| 0:00.0 | Hi, it's Luke Burbank. I'm off on my high horse somewhere, and you, will you're enjoying a best of TBTL. |
| 0:09.0 | This is TBTL, with Luke Burbank, on NewsTalk 710, Cairo. |
| 0:21.0 | Oh my god, my back. |
| 0:26.0 | I'm home. All the time. |
| 0:33.0 | You finally really did it. |
| 0:37.0 | You made it up! You blew it up! |
| 0:43.0 | I'm damn you! God damn you, hold on! |
| 0:50.0 | Not you guys, the listeners, the people who grew in the earth and let it become the domain of the apes, that's who he's mad at. |
| 1:02.0 | But I can see that when we play it like that, you can think we're saying to you, the TBTL listeners, and we would never damn you guys to hell, unless you guys were fans of sex in the city. |
| 1:14.0 | Which is something we'll discuss on a future program called Tomorrow. |
| 1:20.0 | This is TBTL, the show that's probably too beautiful to live. I'm Luke Burbank, your hosto. |

| 1:47.0 | We just play that sound effect, you just heard, and then we answer them. And we take on all comers. |
| 1:54.0 | Now here is the caveat, this time. If you have been on the show before as a phone caller, we will hang up on you immediately. |
| 2:02.0 | Not because we don't love you, but because Jennifer, one of your main things you don't like about the call segment, considering that we don't screen the calls, one of your main beefs is the idea that the same people call over and over again. |
| 2:17.0 | Right, and that's a really well-known stat in radio that really only 2% of your audience generally ever call in. |
| 2:24.0 | And so that's why most radio shows employ call screeners who will catch the calls and weed out the people who are on a lot and the people who are obviously mentally ill, like the Sharon Stones of the world. |
| 2:38.0 | We don't do that because well, we're risk takers. |
| 2:41.0 | So, but in order for Jen to allow me to do this segment, I had to promise that if somebody called in and they had been on during one of our other call segments, I would just very immediately just say, sorry, you've been on, hang up. |
| 2:56.0 | And Jen, well, she enthused when she heard that. |
