| 0:00.0 | Hey, guys, can I admit something? |
| 0:03.0 | Of course you can, Caroline. Anything. |
| 0:05.0 | Just be clearly into the microphone in front of you. |
| 0:08.0 | Well, you guys keep saying the phrase Boko, but I don't know what that is. |
| 0:14.0 | Ah, okay, don't worry, I've got this. |
| 0:16.0 | Boko is actually what's known in linguistics as a portmanteau or a lexical blend. The word portmanteau |
| 0:22.3 | actually derives from a type of luggage of the same name that would open in two parts. So Lewis Carroll |
| 0:28.2 | actually used it through the looking glass as a metaphor for explaining how the Jabberwocky would |
| 0:33.2 | combine words like lithe and slimy into slithy. And a bit of linguistic irony, the portmanteau |
| 0:39.3 | luggage was also a portmanteau of the words porter to carry and mantle to cloak, which I just think |
| 0:46.9 | is... It means bonus content, Caroline. It means bonus content. Boko. Oh. Well, I mean, |
| 0:52.8 | that's true as well. No, it's fine. |
| 0:55.0 | I just have to add sources to this bonus episode, apparently. |

This is probably the most fun I've ever had doing Boko. I also emphasize, Caroline, put a ton of work into what a world building here. Thank you. And you're going to get to hear a little bit of it right now now now caroline i thought this deserves its own theme |
| 1:50.1 | but i didn't know what the vibe was going to be going in so i think i'll retroactively do it but if you |
| 1:54.7 | want to acoustically oh oh fun rip it rip it rip, rip, rip, rip it, rip it. And Tom, you do the bass. Yeah. Anything to add that one? Oh, yeah. Here, I'll be the, I'll be the driving rhythm. Rib it, rib it, rib it, rib it, rib it, rib it, rib it, rib, rib, rib, rib, rib, rib, rip, rip, rip, rip, rip, rip. I can't do it.
