Live from a room next to Luke's bathroom, this is T-B-T-L.

A bathroom that might actually get some use during today's Tuesday afternoon edition of T-B.

T-L, all kinds of things going on here, all kinds of behind the scenes,

machinations, problems, breakdown, some tears, in fact, will get to all of that in just a moment.

Welcome to this Tuesday afternoon edition of the program.

It's episode 418 in a collector series.

I'm your host, Luke Burbank, weighing in at 186 pounds.

Only one of my many disappointments suffered in the run up to the show.

Another one, we're not going to be able to talk to our dear friend Jen Andrews.

Jen Flash Andrews, she is still over in Eastern Washington, still trying to get things worked out before her big road trip.

So that's a little bit of a bummer, but she is going to be back in the mix, I believe, towards the end of the week.

In the meantime, I'm very happy to welcome a long-time associate of ours here on this program.

His name is Sean Dittori. He's known as Japan's number one mixer, hi Sean.

Hi everybody, we'll notice we're not playing our usual, I'm not playing, I'm turning my mic down as I do that.

Everything is just completely and totally turned on its ear.

I'm not playing my little dropy drops, my little audio that I like to do because, well, we're having all kinds of technical issues today.

Sadly, a lot of it kind of traces back to my iPod, which decided to just completely and totally die on me right before the show.

It seemed like a small thing, but that feeds into a bunch of other things.

So anyway, we're going to have to kind of keep it lean and mean and not too far between on this podcast everyone.

So please bear with us. Back to what I was saying, hi Sean, welcome to the program.

Hey, thanks, I just picked the mic. Good to be here, good to be here.

Thank you, how was glad you came on down. First of all, nice haircut. Hey, thanks.
