This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Hootty-hoo, Glammer Girls, you're listening to StradioLab Rewind.

Once a month, we will be re-releasing an old classic StradioLab episode

to re-familiarize new listeners with the lore that built the podcast.

The government cannot shut down.

Because we recorded some of these long, long ago, the audio quality may be mixed,

but trust the ideas are eternal and dangerous.

So take out your notebook and open to page one, because it's time to start taking notes

about the things we've said. Okay, enjoy the past. Bye.

Podcast starts now. Wow. Hello all and welcome to Stradio Lab. We have an incredible episode for

you today. Sorry, I thought that would be like a fun, different way to enjoy it. No, I love it. I love when you, I can kind of tell when you start the intro when you're losing steam. Yeah, we're at like a cool five seconds now. Yeah, I love that. I can, I can say the name of the podcast. And I never help you. I always let you do that. No, and you watch with glee. I know, but I kind of like

the tradition of you always start. You always say the first word. I mean, what is a podcast without

tradition? I mean, let's face it. Nothing. It's nothing. But I did think it would be fun to introduce

the podcast sort of as if I know what's going to come. Right. Which I think is fun because obviously I have no idea and there's no way to know. But sort of, I mean, to bring it back to where we were at the beginning, sort of Mark Marining the podcast and sort of talking about the interview as if it's already happened. Oh, that's fun. It's fun to do that even though it hasn't already happened. It hasn't already happened. And it's sort of like someone emulating something and not understanding why it's done that way. Oh my God. Yes. And so, hey, maybe we should try it. It's like when people say, when people use cliches, but they don't make any sense, sense. Like when people are like, he wasn't in love with me, he was in love with the idea of me, but like in context,

that makes literally no sense, but like about what you're saying. You know what I mean?

It's also a lot of stand-up, open mic culture specifically. It's a lot of people like using

the cadences, using the like tools, but sort of not

understanding why they're there or how we got to them in the right place. Okay, wait, do you

know what actually, I've been witnessing this a lot recently with my suggested content on the

various social media sites that I spend most of my hours on is is people will kind of caption things with the sentence that sounds like,

that sounds like an algorithmic version of a joke someone would make.
