Okay, folks, well this is our special Friday thing that we're going to be giving you every Friday through the year end.

These are specials. These are special episodes of things that you've never heard before.

There's no way you could have heard the one I'm going to play for you today.

There's no way because my producer sent me an email saying he had some stuff that no one's ever heard before.

We found it in a box under his bed, some stuff, some discs that represent me a decade ago.

So I don't know exactly what they are.

So I'm going to call Brendan McDonald right now and get the low down.

And also to ask him, I'd like to know if I'm okay with whatever the hell this stuff is.

So let me call Brendan. Hey Brendan. Hey man. It's Mark. Hey, so all right.

So I got the email. So what are these these unheard bootleg recordings you have of me?

Okay, well these are like there really is no one other than maybe one other person who has ever heard this stuff.

And I did not know that I had these. I'm serious about that.

Like people might think that I'm just making that up. I did not know they existed.

I had I thought that I had given them over to somebody, but I just found them in a shoe box.

Literally in a shoe box, they were discs from 2006.

When you and I went out to LA, you were heading back home after two years,

Stinted Air America. Right. And and we were set up to do a show out in LA

for the local Air America affiliate there. KTL. Okay.

We thought with a gig that was just going to be set up for us.

Right. Yeah, we thought we were. That was the that was the Siberia gig.

That's like, yeah, you have a show. It's in the middle of the night.

Right. Preempted by Clippers games most of the time.
