Summary

Podcast Summary: TBTL Episode #4449 - "Imaginary Tradio"

Introduction

In episode #4449 of TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live, released on April 21, 2025, hosts Luke Burbank and Andrew Walsh dive into a special live Tradio segment. Known for their daily show where two longtime friends humorously navigate the world's quirks, this episode marks their inaugural foray into the classic radio format of buy, sell, and trade—all conducted live and internationally online.

Hosts Discuss the Tradio Format

The episode kicks off with Luke and Andrew setting the stage for a unique Tradio experience. Luke humorously mentions, “[00:08] Danny Crawford: Oh, that hurt,” playing off an unexpected mishap that lightens the mood. They discuss the challenges and nostalgia associated with the Tradio format, reminiscing about childhood memories and the rarity of such shows in modern times.

Andrew muses, “[01:25] Andrew Walsh: Obviously, we're doing a special presentation for us here today, our very first TBTL podcast, Tradio show...” highlighting their excitement about potentially making history as the first international online radio show of its kind.

Rules for Participants

Before opening the phone lines, Luke outlines essential guidelines for callers. “[12:46] Andrew Walsh: The biggest rule I would say is everybody who calls in... has to be engaging in this giving, selling or asking process.” They emphasize the importance of participants having legitimate items to trade or sell and providing clear contact information. Luke adds, “[14:02] Andrew Walsh: ...we are not talking clarinet lessons. We're not talking… nobody seeking, nobody offering hugs,” reinforcing the show's focus on tangible goods rather than services or abstract offerings.

Caller Highlights

Throughout the episode, several callers join the fray, each presenting unique items for trade or sale. Below are the standout interactions:

1. Carolyn from Encinitas: 2013 Ducati Hypermotard ([15:07] - [21:14])

   Carolyn introduces a well-maintained motorcycle, stating, “[16:07] Carolyn: I have a 2013 Ducati Hypermotard that rode. It's a little over 20,000 miles.” The hosts engage in a lively discussion about the bike’s features and Andrew humorously contemplates buying it, “[16:16] Luke: Carolyn, can I ask, did you ever listen to TBTL while on your Ducati?”

2. Jake from Chicago: Magnavox Record Player ([21:25] - [26:17])

   Jake offers a vintage Magnavox record player, albeit with a minor flaw: one speaker is non-functional. “[21:36] Andrew Walsh: Hey, Jake. Hey. I have an old... pretty old record player that I think might be decent for, like, somebody who enjoys tinkering.” The conversation delves into the device's capabilities and Jake’s preference to hand it over locally, “[25:11] Danny Crawford: I have a 2006 Ford Fusion to sell.”

3. Danny from NYC: Baby Formula ([26:30] - [33:32])

   Danny presents a substantial supply of unopened baby formula, categorizing it by brands like Similac and Enfamil Neuro Pro. “[28:32] Danny Crawford: So, you know, if I can... my phone number is 302-547-0444...” The discussion touches on the formula's shelf stability and suitability for infants, blending practical trading with Andrew and Luke’s signature humor.

4. Chris from Seattle: Litter Robot ([33:56] - [40:44])

   Chris introduces a high-tech, self-cleaning litter box for cats, sharing, “[36:14] Luke: This is a motorcycle...” after a humorous mix-up, which instantly lightens the conversation. The hosts and Chris exchange insights on the product’s functionality, with Andrew noting its effectiveness, “[40:01] Luke: Or maybe poop too much.”

5. Asha from Taos, New Mexico: Ceramic Art ([42:01] - [45:45])

   Asha showcases her handcrafted ceramics, modestly referring to them as “mediocre art.” “[43:29] Asha: It has been doing some art classes in Taos... trying to get rid of my mediocre artwork.” Luke and Andrew deviate from her self-deprecating description, praising the pieces and providing her contact information for interested buyers.

6. John from St. Paul: Snowblower ([55:24] - [71:12])

   John offers a robust MTD Yard Machines 26-inch snowblower, describing its suitability for heavy-duty use. “[55:24] John: I have an MTD Yard Machines, 26-inch snowblower...” The hosts discuss the practicality of snowblowers in different climates, with Luke humorously confessing his lack of familiarity, “[48:08] Andrew Walsh: Describe this to me though.”

7. Karen from Seattle: Plants ([57:12] - [65:45])

   Karen provides a variety of plants, including irises, crocosmia, hellebores, and red hot pokers. “[58:03] Karen Hugue: I have irises. Oh, which kind of ironically... cry of Rejoice.” She also mentions her book, “Leave your troubles behind, how to destress and grow happiness through plants,” offering both plants and gardening advice to listeners.

Hosts’ Interactions and Humor

Throughout the episode, Luke and Andrew maintain their trademark humor and camaraderie. They navigate each call with playful banter, such as when Luke jokes about implementing a new sign-off, “[66:22] Luke: Hey, Andrew, Would this be an okay time? I'm not trying to back leave.” Their interactions add a layer of entertainment, making the Tradio segment engaging and enjoyable for listeners.

Conclusion and Sign Off

As the Tradio segment wraps up, Luke and Andrew recap the items discussed, ensuring listeners have all the necessary contact information. Luke humorously states, “[73:36] Andrew Walsh: 302-547-0444... that's FBI’s Danny Crawford,” while Andrew adds, “[74:42] Luke: Thanks, Andrew.” The episode concludes with their new sign-off, seamlessly blending warmth and optimism:

Luke: "Have a good day."

Andrew: "And a better tomorrow."

Transcript

[Luke Burbank]

1101, 1816 is the item number on this one.

[Andrew Walsh]

And the nice thing about these practice katanas.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh.

[Danny Crawford]

Oh, that hurt.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, that hurt big time. A piece of that just the tip just got me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Odell. Oh, that got me good.

[Karen Hugue]

You all right?

[Luke Burbank]

A piece of that tip just got me.

[Karen Hugue]

Folks, right now we may need emergency.

[Danny Crawford]

Surgery in the studio.

[Andrew Walsh]

Tbtl.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, all right. Hello, good morning and welcome, everyone. That classic theme can only mean one thing. You have made it to tbtl. Tradio, Buy, sell and trade.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's Tradio.

[Luke Burbank]

This is the special TBTL production where you can swap, shop or give things away. Give us a ring. 206414. Tbtl 206-414-8285 My name is Luke Burbank. Right over there is the man whose idea this was actually the longest running cobra of the show, Mr. Andrew Walsh. A good tradio to you, sir.

[Andrew Walsh]

A good tradio to you as well. I am excited. I just thought of something, literally in the past 10 seconds or so, Luke.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay.

[Andrew Walsh]

Obviously, we're doing a special presentation for us here today, our very first TBTL podcast, Tradio show, where people can buy, sell and trade on the air. Obviously, this is a well worn, very familiar, very favorite radio format around the country, but could we possibly be making history here by being online and thus the first ever international radio show?

[Luke Burbank]

And I'd like to say the shipping is going to be a bitch.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's going to be rough. It's going to be.

[Luke Burbank]

I've got. I've got a set of Fiesta Wear, but I'm in Portugal.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. But that's where the good Fiesta Wear is.

[Luke Burbank]

I'll send it. I'll send it to you in Des Moines if you need it. You know, I was actually wondering the other day, as I was, I was thinking about this special production we're doing today, Andrew, because this was something that you, you brought up. You said, hey, let's do an episode where we have folks call in and they can buy things or sell things or swap things or whatever the case might be. Did you grow up? You grew up in rural Ohio? Was this a thing you heard on the radio as a kid or even as a young adult? Because I realized something. My only knowledge of this format of radio is from Richard and Sal on the Howard Stern show pranking people that are making this kind of. I didn't. This was not a thing in Seattle when I was a kid. Swap shop or Tradio. These kind of shows where they're Like a basically radio kind of classified ad.

[Andrew Walsh]

I was introduced to it as a young adult in New Hampshire. So again, kind of feels deeply New Hampshire. Yes, yes. And now I was in the state capitol, but still, the New Hampshire state capitol is still a pretty, you know, neighborhood rurally kind of vibe to it. And so, yeah, I remember on Saturday, and I'm pretty sure it was Saturday mornings, I would sometimes get in the car, literally, Luke. And this is what was so perfect. I just have this memory of getting in my car to drive to the transfer station, which is the modern word for dump, of course. And is there anything.

[Luke Burbank]

Total transfer station.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, clean your room. It's a transfer station there. Is there anything more, I don't know, cozy than getting in your car on a Saturday morning to go to the dump? And you turn on the radio and you hear people calling in and saying, I'm trying to get rid of an old ski do.

[Luke Burbank]

I mean, it's the platonic ideal. Maybe click and clack, the Tapit brothers, maybe a little car talk.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes.

[Luke Burbank]

Other than that, it's about as good as a Saturday morning gets. And Andrew, I'll tell you, I am. I'm fully immersing myself in. I'm like a. I'm like the Daniel Day Lewis of doing this Tradio with you today. Because, for one thing, I was listening to a ton of Tradio this morning to get ready. Two, I have these Carhartt coveralls on, I think in the sort of spirit of being more of a, like, rural production than we normally are and getting out there and working with our hands. I also have, in case, you know, I don't know, we're having trouble generating calls. I brought this. This is my squirrel lure. My. That I actually got from a holler in Arkansas.

[Andrew Walsh]

Is that on the market?

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, no, no, no, sir, sir. No. I do have some things that I'm happy to offer later if we need that. And. And so, yeah, and then later today, I'm going to be doing a bunch of stuff around the yard. I just feel like I'm in emotionally and spiritually the right place to be talking about this stuff today. Now, can I just, if quickly, before we get to the calls, can I tell you a couple things I learned this morning listening to Tradio around the country? One, if you don't get calls, it can be a really, really challenging broadcast format. If you are in, let's say, wtkf, the talk station in Morehead City, slash New Bern, North Carolina, and nobody's calling in the tap dancing is. Can be tough. A lot of time to fill. A lot of going back over the things that have already. Maybe somebody called in and was listing something 45 minutes ago. A lot of. We've still got that. We've still got that slipcover for a Hyundai Sonata passenger seat. Going back to that, given the specs. Also, it sounds like every caller. And maybe this is because this is how I got to Tradio, was through the prank calls on the Stern show. Every caller who calls into Tradio sounds like they're pranking the Tradio host. Can I play you just a little bit from. This is from wrgc, the Smokies hit radio in Silva, North Carolina. This is a little bit of what I heard this morning.

[Andrew Walsh]

And the folks at Caldwell, Rockyard and.

[Luke Burbank]

Firewood want to thank all those folks.

[Andrew Walsh]

For helping bring you Tradio. And speaking of which, let's get right onto the phone lines.

[Luke Burbank]

How you're on Tradio. Yes, I have a 2006 Ford Fusion to sell.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's a problem, right?

[Luke Burbank]

It's.

[Karen Hugue]

I got all new tire, new wheel.

[Andrew Walsh]

New brakes all around.

[Luke Burbank]

I want to say, if somebody calls in sounding like this today, we are assuming you're pranking us.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right.

[Luke Burbank]

And we're hanging up on you immediately. How about this guy calling into wtkf. That's the talk leader in New Bern.

[Danny Crawford]

We do have a couple minutes to.

[Luke Burbank]

Go, so I'm gonna jump over to Dennis in Newport.

[Danny Crawford]

Dennis, how are you?

[Luke Burbank]

So doing great, buddy, this morning. All right, I want to post this again. Does this. This sounds exactly like Sal Govern Ali doing his impression of a Southern rural person. And he's about to. He's about to say baba Booie. Baba booie. Baba booie. This is the actual voice he uses, I think 23. 20, 23 foot Sea Pro. It's got a 225 full stroke on it.

[John Skloroff]

It's a bracket.

[Luke Burbank]

1060 hours on it, sitting on a 216 trailer. I'm sure you're. You're following all of that, right, Andrew?

[Andrew Walsh]

Well, first of all, does the broadcast have the hiccups? Has the broadcast itself been drinking?

[Luke Burbank]

Well, let me explain something, Andrew. This may be shocking to you to hear, but wtkf, the talk leader of New Bern, North Carolina, slash Morehead City, they are not exactly dedicating resources to their streaming service. It turns out their website is what our friend Dave Ross would describe as kludgy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, it's buffering. It's still buffering from that Broadcast actually.

[Luke Burbank]

When the Google search parameters at 6:30am West coast are tradio live right now, North Carolina, you find out that a lot of these stations, many of them religious in nature, many of them conservative in nature, are not the miracle of modern web streaming.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Would you be interested. Actually, I am enjoying this. And we're gonna get to the calls in a little bit. We'll give out here in a little bit and tell everybody about the. The ground rules for today's tradeo. But you did bring up something interesting. Maybe like in a couple of weeks we do this again. But we do like Christian radio. And then a couple of weeks we do conservative talk radio on a Saturday morning.

[Luke Burbank]

I love it. You know, these are. I don't. I. I was never working for a Christian music station. I might have done the traffic a few times, but I can certainly easily slip back in to the mindset of conservative. Like, what are these? I don't know if this will mean anything to you, Andrew, but what are these stations? I was going through the lineups of these stations trying to find tradio, also known as swap shop in some places. And at least three of them are playing Kim Commando.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I know about Kim.

[Luke Burbank]

Kim Commando, the technology expert. I was hearing a lot of Kim Commando promos. It was really taking me back.

[Andrew Walsh]

I had never heard of Kim Commando, but the perfect person told me about Kim Commando. And it was Genevieve's dad who just mentioned Kim Commando like years and years ago, just casually. And I'm like, who's Kim Commando? And then as I learn more, because she's like a. She's basically a tech advice, cultural stuff around it. I'm like, oh, yeah. No, for a certain, like kind of generation, that Kim Commando is just like everybody that asking who Kim Commando is is like asking where the sky is now.

[Luke Burbank]

Speaking of something. Speaking of, like, if we did sort of more of a Christian focus tradio, that also happened on this station, wrgc. And what I loved is how quickly this caller transitioned from a pretty. A pretty direct and extreme religious statement to the fact that she was trying to sell something Right now.

[Andrew Walsh]

Let's head on to the phone lines again.

[Luke Burbank]

You're on radio. Yes.

[Karen Hugue]

I hope everybody is thinking about our precious Lord Jesus Christ and what he's went through going through today.

[Luke Burbank]

I like that she's keeping it current. What he went through and what he's going through today. Like, never forget prayer and dedication for him. Also, I have a beautiful plant that will glorify his name, make the earth a Pretty place. I also have honey. I also have honey free range organic chicken, eggs and baby, well about nine.

[Karen Hugue]

Month old chicks for sale that are laying eggs and a lot of yard sales stuff.

[Luke Burbank]

And my numbers. 828-736-291-12911.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, we'll definitely get that back in there for you, dear.

[Luke Burbank]

Couple of things there, Andrew. No area code needed.

[Andrew Walsh]

No.

[Luke Burbank]

Nope. No area code needed. And also I like the, like I said, I like the, the sales pitch that basically says I'm, I'm selling this plant but if you plant it, it will glorify the Lord.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, I'm wondering if it's a nice value add.

[Andrew Walsh]

It really is. I mean that's just a good sales pitch right there. I was thinking, and I'll be honest with you, 100 when she said and some random garage sale stuff, I immediately thought I wonder if she's gonna. Any old broken GI Joes in there I could fix?

[Luke Burbank]

Like I, well, you know the number.

[Andrew Walsh]

You just gotta google.

[Luke Burbank]

You've gotta figure out what the area code is for that part of North Carolina. But otherwise I think you could get a hold of her. I also heard the tradio host on one station saying something to the effect of. And again, I was mostly focusing on the south because of the time difference. That was gonna be where there were some happening in Nevada. But like they're doing this their tradeo while we're doing this tradeo. And one of the hosts said something like, well, there aren't, I mean there aren't going to be any garage sales tomorrow because it's Easter. But if you are having one, let us know and we'll talk about it.

[Andrew Walsh]

Like just the idea that like judgy, huh?

[Luke Burbank]

Everything is, everything stops tomorrow because it's Easter. As we're recording this on Saturday, although you might be hearing this in the Monday feed of tbtl. So anyway, I guess that's just a little, I don't know, a little level set that's for both us and the listeners and the callers. That's kind of what we're doing here this morning.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. I like that for some of these folks, you said like when there are no callers it can become like tap dancing time. We're 15 minutes into this. We haven't even decided to open up the phone lines yet.

[Luke Burbank]

We may never open.

[Andrew Walsh]

Our whole show is just radio without the phone calls. So how much more squirrel calls? How much for the squirrel call again? Luke, I am going to buy that off I will be buying that off you before today is I want to.

[Luke Burbank]

Also mention, Andrew, I have, I've got a template here that I made. I will be keeping track of the people who call in and what their item is in case we need to circle back to that to remind folks of what of what's out there. Because again, that's a big part of the tradio model I've learned is, is repeating things.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's a really good call. Now, one of the biggest rules, and I've mentioned this on the show and I've mentioned this in the many newsletters that I the newsletter for the past eight weeks, it's just been like, do you guys know that livestream Tradio is coming up? The biggest rule I would say is everybody who has, who calls in, first of all has to be engaging in this giving, selling or asking process. You can call in if you're like seeking something specifically, like Susan. Sorry, there's just a lot of S's Desperately on a roll there.

[Luke Burbank]

That a Madonna reference.

[Andrew Walsh]

It was. And also it was a reference to what was the movie that I was telling you about the other day that Genevieve and I had watched from the same era, Ish, which was called Mr. Right, Making Mr. Right, directed by the same woman who directed Desperately Seeking Susan by the with.

[Luke Burbank]

Rosanna Arquette, I believe, and Madonna.

[Andrew Walsh]

And you can sort of see that vibe in there. But that's not what we're here to talk about today. What I was going to say was snowblowers, folks who call in if you have something to give away or sell or if you're looking for something specific, call in and let us know. The big rule is don't call in if you don't have anything to talk about related to Tradio. The bigger rule is make sure that you have some sort of contact information that you can give away so that people can contact you directly. The number one thing I want people to take away from this is I am done once this thing is posted online.

[Luke Burbank]

I love that this was your idea, but you're also, it's also on your last nerve.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's not. No, that's just not how it works. And I just want everybody to know. This isn't like email Andrew to find out how that's get your pens out, get your paper out, however you do it, and be prepared to give and write down contact information.

[Luke Burbank]

May I add one more little which hadn't even occurred to me until I was listening to some trio this morning. But also, this is not A forum for your business.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, interesting. Yes.

[Luke Burbank]

You know what I mean.

[Andrew Walsh]

Like, like coming down strong. I love this.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, we gotta move those people over to the dazzling donor message. That's a, that's cash on the barrel head over there, my friend. You have people jumping out here promoting their accounting business.

[Andrew Walsh]

No, it is a good point though. No services. We're not. We're not talking clarinet lessons. We're not talking, as you said, long hugs. Nobody seeking, nobody offering hugs. Nobody giving away or asking.

[Luke Burbank]

We will not listen to your dreams.

[Andrew Walsh]

We will not listen to your dream. We are not saints. And of course, if you're ready for this, Luke, I'm going to give out the phone number and open up these here phone lines. The number to call to join TBTL Live Tradio is area code. I'm sorry, we have to give out the area code because we're international. In fact, one four four. No, the area code. Area code. 206414. TBTL. That's 206-4148285. I am not kidding when I say I'm a little bit nervous about this. We are opening up the phone lines now. 206-414-8285.

[Luke Burbank]

If you get a busy signal, stay in line. We only have one phone line for the record, so you, you will. There'll be one person who we're talking to and then everyone else calling will just be kind of hitting the busy signal. So just know that, that you are dialing the right number. It's just that we only have one phone line. Listen, we're but a humble independent podcast.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. I am. I am call screening, call taking, doing whatever this thing is.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm running the Rockies of the roc.

[Andrew Walsh]

I don't know if who's on the line with us now from the 858.

[Carolyn]

This is Carolyn from Encinitas and I'm so excited that I got in.

[Andrew Walsh]

You're the.

[Luke Burbank]

Welcome to TV Chilch Radio.

[Carolyn]

Thank you so much. I've been listening to the show since my kid was 2 and he's 18 so.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh my gosh. So only 16 years.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, well newbie.

[Carolyn]

Love it. Anyway. Okay, so I have a 2013. I'm just getting right into it.

[Luke Burbank]

Do it.

[Andrew Walsh]

I love this.

[Carolyn]

I have a 2013 Ducati Hypermotard that rode. It's a little over 20,000 miles.

[Luke Burbank]

This is a motorcycle. This is a full on motorcycle. Carolyn.

[John Skloroff]

Yes.

[Andrew Walsh]

How much? I'll send you the check right now. I'll send you the check right now. How much? And don't give out your number to anybody else, because I want this thing.

[Carolyn]

Andrew, I've been wanting you to get back into motorcycling for years. I wrote it every day to work. I work at the university and I Covid.

[John Skloroff]

Hit.

[Carolyn]

We didn't work as much there and I fell out of practice. And now I just am ready to sell it.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, it's so cool. Okay. I'm kidding about buying it myself. Genevieve won't let me, obviously. But this sounds super cool. Sorry to cut you off. Tell us more about it.

[Carolyn]

No, that's fine. I'm good. That's good.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay, so hold on. Let me just read. Because I'm not a motorcycle guy. Even though a lot of people, when they meet me, they're like, you seem cool and tough. You probably a motorcycle guy. So I'm not. It's a 2013. It's a Ducati. It's got. You said 20,000 miles on it.

[Carolyn]

Yeah, a little over 20,000. And for people who know motorcycles, it's a hypermotard, which I sound like an insult, but that's what it's called.

[Andrew Walsh]

It does sound like an insult. It looks like. Am I right that it almost looks dirt bike ish, or am I wrong about this?

[Asha]

Yes, it's very spare.

[Carolyn]

Dirt bike ish. It's a wonderful bike. Has a lot of. It's 821cc's and.

[Luke Burbank]

Carolyn, can I ask, did you. Did you ever listen to TBTL while on your Ducati Hypermotard?

[Carolyn]

No way, man. I'm way. I didn't listen to anything, actually.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, are you listening to the engine revving?

[Carolyn]

Yeah, it's super loud and. Yeah, I just. I would not. It's too. I just had to concentrate.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, that'd be too dangerous now. Oh, go ahead.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm sorry, Andrew. After you.

[Andrew Walsh]

Well, I was just going to ask, do you. Do you have an asking price in mind? Oh, yes, right.

[Carolyn]

I forgot about that. So I'm asking 6,000. But if you're a TBTL, 10. Let's make a deal.

[Luke Burbank]

All right.

[Andrew Walsh]

Use promo code Tradio. Exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

Use promo code Harry's Shave Club. What I was wondering, Carolyn, because you're in Encinitas, so you're down in the sort of greater San Diego area.

[Carolyn]

Yes.

[Luke Burbank]

And that's not too far from where they shot Top Gun. Right. Wasn't that at the. Did you. Did you ever get your Ducati out there Tom Cruise style and like, just like haul ass next to where the planes were and then just Like, I don't know, be super cool. Did you ever do that? Because you wouldn't you want to do that before you sell this motorcycle?

[Carolyn]

Well, I did it. I mean, I did those kinds of things all the time. I, I especially, I was, I was really fond of the 1 I 1, but I also, if I would, I would go fast on the, on the freeways. And I remember my first freeway mile, my friend Charlie, who is 70, he said, okay, we're going on the freeway today. And he took me for one mile on the freeway. And that's the way to go if you want to go fast.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, but did you lane split in this thing? That's legal in California. And I can't believe thousands of people don't die every day on motorcycles going in between the cars.

[Carolyn]

No, let me just tell you, I agree, but there have been studies done that show it's much safer for the cyclists to keep going rather than stop in traffic. More cyclists die from getting rear ended waiting than they do from doing that lane splitting. And lane splitting is terrifying and fabulous when there's traffic.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm glad to know it is also terrifying for you because as a driver of a car, I'm just like, like the whole time I'm watching people kind of weave around on their motorcycles.

[Carolyn]

I know, I know. I just, it's, yeah, it's terrifying.

[Andrew Walsh]

I would do it a little bit. Not on the highways because I did not have any kind of motor scooter that could go on the highways. But I did have my little 2001 Honda Elite for a while down the road.

[Luke Burbank]

How many cc's was that?

[Andrew Walsh]

50. I think I could lane split, unlike, you know, some of those surface streets in la, but that are like two, three, four lanes long. And so like I would just zip right in between everybody right up to the red light. It was thrilling.

[Carolyn]

And you feel like a superstar.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, yeah, definitely.

[Luke Burbank]

Critically, Carolyn, we need to know how people can get a hold of you.

[Carolyn]

Right, I'm just gonna get my phone number. It's 858-997-8975. And people can text or call.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay. If you are in the market for, or if you've had your interest piqued for a Ducati 2013 Ducati Hypermotard with just about 20,000 miles on it. It was driven by Carolyn to church on Sundays. So it is in, it's in phenomenal shape. Yep, that's right. All right, awesome. Thank you so much for the call. Yeah. What do you want to say?

[Carolyn]

One more thing. If anyone wants Pictures. I can send them.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice. And so this is a. This number is textable as well. We're gonna give it out one more time. 858-997. 8975. That's Carolyn. 858-997-8975. Good luck selling that thing. I'm excited for the person who buys it.

[Carolyn]

Me too. Thanks, guys. I love your show.

[Andrew Walsh]

Have fun.

[Luke Burbank]

We love you. Thank you very much. Wow, Andrew, that is a strong start.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's a really strong start. The bar has been right out of the gate.

[Luke Burbank]

Cool item. Good energy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes. Got another call coming in here. We can probably grab this one if you'd like. Who we got on the line?

[Danny Crawford]

Hey, it's Jake in Chicago.

[Andrew Walsh]

Hey, Jake.

[Danny Crawford]

Hey. I have an old. I have a pretty old record player that I think might be decent for, like, somebody who enjoys tinkering.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay.

[Danny Crawford]

I could not tell you the year, but I'm looking at it now, and it's a Magnavox, if that means anything to anyone. I. An old roommate gave it to me when I was moving out because he didn't want it anymore. But it still has up to one working speaker.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh.

[Danny Crawford]

And it does play records and I think eight tracks as well. So.

[Luke Burbank]

So the issue with it is that. Is that one of the speakers doesn't work, but the actual. The motor works, the turntable turns, and the needle picks up sound from the record.

[Danny Crawford]

As far as I know, last time I used it, it worked fine. It was just not the greatest quality.

[Luke Burbank]

For those of you who are hearing this on the radio, I am really enjoying TBTL employee Numero Uno John Skloroff's subtitles Behind the scene putting on the YouTube feed. I believe he put quote, it worked the last time I checked. The Perfect daddy or whatever.

[Andrew Walsh]

So describe this to me though.

[Luke Burbank]

Jake Records.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm a little confused about this, though. You said one of the speakers works. So is this a standalone record player that has two standalone speakers that you plug into it and it amplifies in some way, or is this like a single unit that has kind of a speaker built in?

[Danny Crawford]

No, it has two individual speakers attached. One of the speakers blew out a few years ago.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay.

[Danny Crawford]

So I've just been using the single speaker, but I. We got a new record player and speaker system when we got married last year, so we don't really need this now. It's just taking up space in our place, so.

[Andrew Walsh]

Gotcha. So no amplification needed. You don't need to have an amplifier or a tuner to make this work. It's a standalone. Right, Right. Right out of the box. It'll be half working.

[Danny Crawford]

That's right.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right.

[Luke Burbank]

Do you remember. Do you remember the last record that you played on it, Jake?

[Danny Crawford]

It's probably a St. Vincent record. She's one of my go to.

[Luke Burbank]

We love her. You know, I saw St. Vincent Seduction, I think. Have you seen that little. I don't know if you've seen this guy on. On Tick Tock. I think I forget what his name is, but it might be under, like, track Stars, his handle. But what they do is they will have folks on. He'll stand on the street corner in New York and he'll play. They'll be wearing, like, Bluetooth headphones and he'll play music, and they have to try to guess who the band or name who the band is within a few seconds. It's actually a fun segment. It's kind of like you're getting to play along of like, Name that Tune as the audience. But he had St. Vincent on the other day, and I could not believe how awesome and chill St. Vincent was. I'd never heard the artist St. Vincent talk. I'd only seen her perform, and I was so intimidated by her. She's this really great musician, but very, very angular and very kind of like, very serious about the music. Could not have been more cool as a person. I like. My life's mission now is to become friends with St. Vincent.

[Danny Crawford]

Oh, yeah, same. I've been following her since, like, I don't know, her first record in what was like 2008 or 9 or something like that.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Danny Crawford]

And it's like, immediately listening to every record she's put out and a fan of every single one she's.

[Luke Burbank]

So you're also a person who's angular and cool, Jake, So maybe you guys have that in common.

[Andrew Walsh]

Maybe you'll see each other on the forums. Jake, are you also asking $6,000 for this record player at minimum?

[Luke Burbank]

Starting negotiation.

[Danny Crawford]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

No, for real. What are you looking for, if anything?

[Danny Crawford]

Honestly, if you're in the Chicagoland area, I could just drop it off to you.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, wow.

[Danny Crawford]

Get it out of my house. Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

So you're not looking to sell. You're looking to give this away. And then if folks are interested in this item, how can they get ahold of you?

[Danny Crawford]

Sure, you can text me at 616-745-9362.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay, I'm going to give that out again for everybody. This is a phone number that is textable. 616-745-9362. This is Jake in the Chicagoland area, a mostly working record player by Magnavox.

[Luke Burbank]

There you go. Hey, thanks, Jake. And by the way, congratulations once again on the wedding. I know it was a while ago. Yeah, it's awesome.

[Danny Crawford]

Thank you.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. All right. Take care, Jake. All right. Luke is going pretty well. I love.

[Luke Burbank]

Honestly. Strong, strong start.

[Andrew Walsh]

Two for two much. Absolutely.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, I'll be in the Chicagoland area next week. Maybe I can swangle through and grab that record player.

[Andrew Walsh]

You know what? Let's let the tens grab some, too.

[Karen Hugue]

All right.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. I'm trying to get that motorcycle. You're trying to get. You're trying to get that record player. And we do have somebody joining us now. Who's on the line?

[Danny Crawford]

Hey, friendos. This is listener Danny Crawford from television's FBI.

[Andrew Walsh]

Hey, trouble. Television's FBI, right? Okay, good.

[Danny Crawford]

What's up, guys?

[Andrew Walsh]

How you doing?

[Luke Burbank]

How are you, man? How's. How's that. How's the. The brood?

[Danny Crawford]

They are. You know, they're sleeping.

[Luke Burbank]

They're sleeping.

[Andrew Walsh]

Right.

[Danny Crawford]

It's the most incredible. It's the most incredible time of my life. I am not sleeping at all.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, where are they currently? Are they somewhere in the house? Are they. Are they. Did you send them out to make this phone call?

[Danny Crawford]

No, they are sleeping right now, so.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay, well, we're here.

[Danny Crawford]

Hang on, hang on. Let me see if I can.

[Andrew Walsh]

Can you hear that?

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, my gosh. Yes. Now.

[Danny Crawford]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

I want to be clear. Danny, we love you. We appreciate all you've done for the show. We cannot sell your babies on Tradio. If you're. I mean, if you're trying to get down to, like, one, maybe you've decided two is too many. This is not the place for that.

[Andrew Walsh]

You can give them away, but you cannot sell them.

[Luke Burbank]

That's the weird thing about the rules. You can give them away.

[Danny Crawford]

I don't know. We were trying to, you know, recoup some of it.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, it's a rehoming fee.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, right. Exactly. What are you really looking to get rid of? Or are you looking for something to buy?

[Danny Crawford]

No, it actually has to do with my little guys. So we have racks of baby formula that we bought en masse before. Like, they. You know, we have two different kinds. You know, one kind we started out on, they were loving it, and then they got a little constipated on it, so we were like, well, all right, now we got a bunch of this, and we gotta, you know, pivot to something else. We bought a whole bunch of another kind and they had the opposite problem. They couldn't keep it down. And we finally landed on a good formula that's working out for them. But now we have just ends of unopened baby formula. And you.

[Luke Burbank]

Which, by the way, is not. Is not cheap, I understand. Right. Like that stuff, the retail on that is pretty high.

[Danny Crawford]

Right, exactly. So, you know, if I can, you know, if, like, you know, if anybody in New York has just had their own little guys, you know, honestly, the price would be getting it out of my New York City apartment.

[Luke Burbank]

What do you think the street value of that formula that you. You've. You've accumulated is?

[Danny Crawford]

Well, it depends on how you cut it. I mean, honestly.

[Luke Burbank]

Has it been stepped on? How much drywall is in there?

[Andrew Walsh]

Why are you also giving away a lot of baking soda? Baking soda is what I would like to know there.

[Luke Burbank]

So you're so, Danny, you're offering to. I mean, this stuff is actually. I'm sure, again, I bet you that to go out and buy this. And it's also very shelf. Stable. If I understand this kind of stuff, it lasts for a long time. So if someone's willing. If somebody's willing to come out and get this from you so that it's not taking up space, that would be. That would be enough for you. Are you looking to actually resell it?

[Danny Crawford]

No, you know, for. We put it on Facebook, Marketplace or and, you know, Craigslist and stuff for a price. But if it goes to the home of another TBTL 10, then God bless.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice, Nice.

[Danny Crawford]

You know, pass it off.

[Andrew Walsh]

And you're giving away both the constipated stuff and the unconstitated. Like his ad. Yeah.

[Danny Crawford]

So, you know, we never tried it, but, hey, if you tried, like, mixing them together.

[Andrew Walsh]

Perfect. All right. How can people reach you?

[Danny Crawford]

So here's my phone number. Text me, because I screen calls. They're not from my area code. So it's 302-547-0444. Or if you want to be, you know, more formal about it, go on my website, Danny Crawford dot com. I have a contact page.

[Andrew Walsh]

Look at this plug. Look at this.

[Luke Burbank]

Love that.

[Andrew Walsh]

The man's a professional.

[Luke Burbank]

That's right.

[Andrew Walsh]

What is the website again? Danny Crawford dot com.

[Danny Crawford]

Danny Crawford dot com.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice and clean. Nice and easy.

[Luke Burbank]

Tune in to CBS on. What night is it, Danny? Yeah, we just.

[Danny Crawford]

Yeah, I was saying we're filming the finale right now, and all I'll say is it's spicy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Wait a second. Series finale or season? Finale.

[Danny Crawford]

Season finale.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay, good. Oh, I got nervous there For a second.

[Luke Burbank]

We got to keep you. You and the Crawford family in formula for the foreseeable future. Keep that sweet.

[Andrew Walsh]

Sweet.

[Danny Crawford]

Real quick because. Because these are important. The brands that we have are Similac, neosure and Enfamil Neuro Pro. Now, if you understand what that. If you understand what that means, you're already in the. You're already in the market. So come hit me up.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice.

[Luke Burbank]

They are naming. Hold on, Danny. They are naming infant baby formula Neuro Pro. As that is. Is that as it. It will feed your baby's brain and they will become a professional Neuro Haver.

[Danny Crawford]

I. You know, it's. Who names this stuff? It's like, I just. It's the same cabal that names, you know, that's like pharmaceutical companies are just like. What do we call it? Gentle.

[Luke Burbank]

Dupixent. I just think Neuro being in the. Like that to me is like, that's part of the baby industrial complex. Like, I want. I want to tell you and your lovely wife, Danny, to push back against the. About the Montessori industrial complex that's probably happening out there. You guys in Brooklyn?

[Danny Crawford]

We're in Manhattan.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, even worse, the Waldorf industrial complex. This idea that your kids got to be drinking neuropro and they better be in some kind of pre Waldorf program at age 3.

[Andrew Walsh]

You better be on a wait list right now or you don't love your kids.

[Luke Burbank]

You've already missed. You've already missed the window on that, dude.

[Andrew Walsh]

Danny, let me give out your phone number. One. Oh, go ahead. Sorry.

[Danny Crawford]

No, I was gonna say, you know, neuro on a. On anything baby is like is. You're exactly right. That's like high buzzwords or. Oh, Neuro. Oh, they gotta get big brains. Big brains.

[Luke Burbank]

That's right. Well, I'm sure their brains are gonna be awesome because they've got awesome folks. So what were you saying, Andrew?

[Andrew Walsh]

I just.

[Danny Crawford]

I don't know. They're my son.

[Andrew Walsh]

I think. I think you got a lot going on upstairs, Danny. The number again is 302-547-0444. If you want the smartest babies who also might not poop because of the formula. No, just joking.

[Luke Burbank]

Or maybe poop too much.

[Andrew Walsh]

Or maybe poop too much.

[Luke Burbank]

I won't.

[Danny Crawford]

I was gonna say I won't tell you which does which.

[Andrew Walsh]

So make it a game. 302-547-0444. In the New York City area. All right, Danny, thank you. Good luck with the shots and everything.

[Danny Crawford]

Thank you, boys.

[Andrew Walsh]

Bye.

[Luke Burbank]

Let me just recap Here, Andrew, if I can. We've got from Carolyn down there in Encinitas, a 2013 Ducati motorcycle from our friend Jake, the perfect, perfect daddy. In Chicago, we've got that Magnavox record player. Currently one speaker is operational on that. And now from Danny in New York, from television's FBI, baby formula never used.

[Andrew Walsh]

How did that get so sad? The perfect short story now. Are you Luke? We do have another caller here ready to go. So I don't need to, you know, take up too much time here, but are you surprised that our first three callers all are giving away phone numbers? I thought for sure people were going to be creating a lot of, like, kind of email burner accounts for themselves, but this is a very trusting community.

[Luke Burbank]

I am actually surprised. But it also, I think, speaks to the TBTL community. All of these, I would say a significant percentage of these folks know each other through the Stens page and through TBTL events and stuff. And so I think. I don't. I wouldn't imagine that the calls we've taken are people who would put their phone number out there just generally in the world, but they know that if someone's hearing this, there's a good likelihood that they're a 10 and that they're.

[Andrew Walsh]

They.

[Luke Burbank]

They're the good people. So I take that as a compliment to us.

[Andrew Walsh]

Andrew, what are the rules about me drunk dialing these fine folks, let's say, lately? Prohibited, Strictly prohibited. You're gonna have to. Men in Black My brain.

[Luke Burbank]

Put the babies on the phone.

[Andrew Walsh]

I want to talk to the brood. I love those kids. All right, we got another. We got another caller on the line here. I don't know who this is, but it looks like it might be coming from the Seattle area. Oh, who do we got?

[Chris]

Hey, this is Chris in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle.

[Andrew Walsh]

Hello, Chris.

[Luke Burbank]

The call is coming from inside the city.

[Chris]

It is. It is very local. I am right down the street from Andrew. I can probably yell and you can hear me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, nice.

[Luke Burbank]

Chris, will you be at Bad Alberts later watching the Mariners? Because that'd be my guess of where our friend Andrew might be.

[Chris]

Oh, if you're interested in having a stalker come by, then, yeah, I will be there.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice. Unfortunately, Bad Alberts is not on the plate for today, but it will be as the baseball season progressive certain progresses. That's one of my favorite places. Wow. Luke is one of my favorite places to take in a ball game. Chris, what do you got on your agenda today?

[Chris]

So I am offering up for sale a very gently used Cat litter box. And before you get too excited, this, this is actually a very fancy cat litter box. It's a self cleaning litter box. It is like WI fi enabled. It has all the bells and whistles. It a very, very cool item.

[Luke Burbank]

Is it a, if I can ask, is it a litter robot?

[Chris]

I don't think it goes around the room like Randy does.

[Andrew Walsh]

No, no, no.

[Luke Burbank]

Is it the kind that looks like. Does it look like a spaceship? Is it kind of have like a round circular opening for the cat?

[Chris]

Yes, it is. It's like a very white, sleek looking thing that you might find on a spaceship.

[Luke Burbank]

So if I have one of those.

[Chris]

Planning on going to space, you can take this with him.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, I, I just want to. I want to, I want to back you on this, Chris. I have one which is underutilized since Bubbles is down living with Becca now. But also Becca has one. And I would swear by these things. They are absolutely. They, they're as advertised. And they make owning a cat or cats so much less troublesome in the litter cleaning department. They really are kind of a miracle thing. And so, yeah, it's. When you said gently use litter box, I was like, we need to talk. But no, this thing is like a, this thing is like a 600 item.

[Chris]

Yeah, I don't, I mean, my partner bought it. I don't know how much she spent on it, but I think it was a lot. The only issue is the cats just are kind of scared of it or something like that. We've got two cats and we were hoping that it was gonna help kind of clean up the general area, but they just didn't really take to it. And yeah, like, they just like using the open air litter box. They're just kind of that kind of particular cat. So it's just kind of taken up space and we wanted to pass it on to a cat that might appreciate it.

[Andrew Walsh]

Chris, I have a question for you. How did you learn that the cats didn't like this litter box? And how messy was that discovery?

[Chris]

Well, we didn't. We've got two cats. We were kind of hoping that, like, one would use one and one would use the other or something like that. And we found out that they would just both go to use the same movie open litter box, the traditional litter box. I just weren't using the other one.

[Andrew Walsh]

Smart.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay.

[Andrew Walsh]

You didn't get rid of the other one and then just say you did.

[Luke Burbank]

You do what I had to do for modeling for Holly and Bubbles, which was I had to use the litter robot for About a week myself, to just kind of let them know. That's how it works. Well, that you might want to think about, I don't think.

[Chris]

Yeah, we weren't as dedicated as you were as far as the training process, so maybe that's where we fell short.

[Andrew Walsh]

I mean, your litter box is your litter box now, Luke. Right? Are you using it still? Like, why not plumbing share it anymore.

[Luke Burbank]

You've been here. There's no working plumbing at this place. It's all. It's all litter robot all the time.

[Andrew Walsh]

Just tumbles it around like a dryer.

[Luke Burbank]

All right, I will say this, like, just one quick last sales pitch for this. Oh, by the way, Chris, how much are you hoping to get for this item, if possible?

[Chris]

I think a hundred dollars is probably a fair price. It doesn't really have much use to it. And, yeah, I think it was several hundred dollars that we spent.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, yeah.

[Chris]

100 bucks for a 10. And. Yeah, we'll clean it up for you.

[Luke Burbank]

I was gonna say that. Oftentimes when Becca and I are out in the world now, even traveling, like we were in Seattle a week ago, she on her phone, gets an update when the cats go in the thing. Yes. And she was like, she'll get a little ping. She'll go, well, the cats are alive, which is kind of a useful service. Like, if you're away from home for a day or two and you know your cats are going in and out of that thing, it's kind of nice to be like, all right, they're there. They're using it. It's happening, happening.

[Chris]

Yeah, we were kind of excited about that because we had to bring Charlie into the ER a couple of months ago because he was having some urinary issues. And so that was kind of one of the selling features we were. And the thing is smart enough that, like, since you have two cats, it's like, if you know the weight of your cat, you can say, okay, well, Charlie weighs 15 pounds and Luna weighs, like, whatever, 11 pounds. It knows which cat is pooping or peeing, and it, like, can tell you, like, hey, like, it sends you an alert. It's like, hey, Charlie just made a poop. Like, good job, Charlie.

[Andrew Walsh]

Wow.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah. Yes. Yes. The future is now.

[Andrew Walsh]

Some privacy issues there. Okay, Chris, if somebody wants your $100.

[Luke Burbank]

Poop box, Andrew, do you not want to get the alerts when I use the litter robot? Because I thought you wanted those.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, how can people get your hundred dollar poop box? Chris, what's the best way to reach.

[Chris]

You you can just call or text. It's 206-214-8444.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay, I'm gonna say that again because I like to say things. 206-214-8444 to reach Chris. Texting sounds like it's preferred there.

[Chris]

Yeah, that'd be fine. And I can send you pictures and all that stuff.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay, just be careful with those pictures. Let's make sure that's a deal.

[Luke Burbank]

By the way, I'm here to say if you're in the Seattle area and you've got cats, That's a deal. 100 bucks.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, Chris, thank you very much. Good luck. I will see you at Bad Albert sometime soon. Okay.

[Chris]

Thanks for what you do. Everything you do is so. I screwed up that quote.

[Luke Burbank]

Sorry.

[Chris]

Thanks, Brandos.

[Luke Burbank]

Thanks, Chris. I often forget the end of the show. Oh, by the way, Andrew, I have a new sign off for today's episode. When we get to that point that I learned, I heard a caller say on Tradio this morning, do I have to learn it?

[Andrew Walsh]

Is it a call and response? Do you want me to just tell.

[Luke Burbank]

You now and then it's a two part. It can be a two parter.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, you tell me now. I will write it down and I'll.

[Luke Burbank]

Remind you at the end of the show again. But basically there's some guy was calling in about something and the Tradio guy said, all right, well, you have a good day. And the guy said, well, you have a good day and a better tomorrow.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, nice. Okay. Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

So I could say, have a good day. And you could say, and a better tomorrow.

[Andrew Walsh]

And a better tomorrow is my line. I would love to. I might mute my mic. What's that?

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, we can rehearse when we get towards the end of the show.

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, that sounds good. But in the meantime, I do have another fish on the line here. And I'm sorry for calling our listeners fishes. That's. But I mean, there are worse animals to be called.

[Danny Crawford]

Ahoy.

[Luke Burbank]

Ahoy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Who do we have?

[Asha]

Hey, fellas, this is Asha in Taos, New Mexico, Asia.

[Luke Burbank]

Hi, Asha.

[Asha]

Hey. Glad to have made it on here.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Good to hear your voice.

[Luke Burbank]

Thanks for calling in. I think we were just shouting you out on the show the other day for donating.

[Asha]

We were. And I was quite proud of you, Luke. We were road dogs. My husband Cameron and I lived in a van with our pet rabbit it for over a year, like every proper millennial does these days.

[Andrew Walsh]

You know what? Not to steal Luke's thunder, but wasn't It I. Who made that prediction, because afterwards, I got really nervous that I was wrong about that. And so.

[Asha]

Oh, my gosh, Andrew. I'm so sorry.

[Luke Burbank]

I think I pulled the rug out from Andrew. I think Andrew said something like. And they've been traveling around, and I said, have they? And that sent Andrew spiraling for four straight days.

[Andrew Walsh]

I really was. And then we laid her on her from some other folks who also spent a lot of time on the road. And so actually, at one point this week, I was like, wait, was I confusing folks? I'm really. You really just made my day. You already gave away something today, which was happiness to me. Asia. Yes.

[Luke Burbank]

What do you. What do you have on offer? Or what are you looking for in Taos?

[Asha]

Well, I have been doing some art classes in Taos, primarily ceramics, and my house is now becoming way too full, and so I am trying to get rid of what I'm calling my mediocre artwork and would love to sell that out to some of the tens, if possible. So I hope that's within the rules.

[Luke Burbank]

I don't Absolutely.

[Asha]

Business, because it's not. I'm not trying to make a ton of money on this just to cover my costs of doing this silly little hobby that I've taken up since moving here.

[Andrew Walsh]

What is it? What is your mediocre artwork? As the text on the screen says.

[Asha]

It'S primarily ceramic, so there's a lot of mugs, a lot of planters. If anyone wants to see what I've got, I put together a little website for it. Ashalittle.com a I s h a l I t t l e dot com. And there's a section related to my mediocre art, and I.

[Luke Burbank]

It's literally. I'm there. Asha, first of all, this is absolutely not mediocre. This is really cool. I'm looking at it. But the hyperlink on your website literally says mediocre art.

[Asha]

Oh, yeah, yeah. These are.

[Luke Burbank]

These are really nice curvy planter. Look at. Looks like a juicer.

[Andrew Walsh]

I love my curvy planter.

[Luke Burbank]

You've always been a curvy planter guy, Asia.

[Andrew Walsh]

This is good stuff.

[Asha]

Oh, thanks for the compliments, but it's not the highest quality, so I hope I've priced it accordingly. If anyone likes something and they're like, oh, this. This is not worth the $20 I say I want for it, let me know. And my email's on the website AAC K L E Gmail. And that's how people can let me know if they want anything. That I'm selling.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice. All right. And I'm going to direct people back to the website where they will find your email address. Again, it's ashalittle.com and Asia is a. I S H A ashalittle.com. you can look at the stuff there and also find the contact information. And everything is kind of priced individually. It sounds like. Like.

[Asha]

That's right.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice. That's awesome.

[Luke Burbank]

Asha. That's really. That's really cool. Again, thank you so much to you and Cameron, AKA Cameon, for. For. For tolerating the show. I'm. All these years. Is Cameron an 11 or a 10 or a 15?

[Asha]

He's a proper 10. He and his dad started listening in the radio days, and then when he and I met in college, I felt like I had to impress him by liking his. So here we are.

[Luke Burbank]

We were like. We were like the dad band. This that you had to pretend to like while you were courting. This.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, wow.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, my gosh. Well, I'm. It all worked out. Here we are together, years later. Right?

[Andrew Walsh]

You're. Yeah, it's like we're. We're. The copy of Badlands that I showed Jenna.

[Luke Burbank]

Thank you. Is that a Terrence Malik reference?

[Andrew Walsh]

Malik. I was gonna say gummo, but that actually almost tore us apart, so I won't go with that one. Asia, thanks so much. That's really cool.

[Luke Burbank]

Thanks, Asia. We really appreciate y'all.

[Asha]

Thanks, fellas.

[Andrew Walsh]

Take care.

[Asha]

Bye. Bye.

[Andrew Walsh]

Bye.

[Luke Burbank]

Hey, Andrew, Would this be an okay time? I'm not trying to back leave.

[Andrew Walsh]

No, I'm thinking that you're going to tell me what I was thinking, which is we.

[Luke Burbank]

I feel like when we've been describing this. This whole project, this tradio thing, and I'm. I've been trying to think of. Or maybe you've been trying to think of an item, a hypothetical item that could be for sale. We, for some reason, kept landing on Snowblower, which I think is pretty funny because neither of us. Well, that's not true. Maybe from your New Hampshire days.

[Andrew Walsh]

I bet you that's why I always said snowblower, because in New Hampshire, listening to people getting rid of their snow.

[Luke Burbank]

Blowers, it is so far outside my experience of anywhere I've ever lived or anything I've ever owned. But it turns out we do know someone who literally has a snowblower, and it's literally our colleague and friend, John Sklaroff. TBTL Employee numero uno. Can we see if we can bring the master of subtitles up here, please? John, by the way killing it with the subtitles.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, this is fun.

[Evan]

Just doing what I can.

[Luke Burbank]

Dude, it's so great. Again, completely lost on the podcast listeners, but it's delighting the living tweed out of me over here.

[Evan]

Good. They can always go back and watch the stream on YouTube.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, yeah. This will be a good video product as well. Yeah. So can you. I have a million questions about this. Should we start though with.

[Karen Hugue]

With.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

How do you want to handle this, Andrew?

[Andrew Walsh]

Well, let's start with the basics. John. What do you. What do you got? What is this baby?

[Evan]

So I have an MTD yard machines, 26 inch snowblower from what I can tell. Okay, I should preface by saying we didn't pay for this. This was like in somebody else's garage that we just like, oh, we'll take it. And now it's been sitting in our garage and has been barely used the last few years. It might need some tune up and stuff. So you might have to like give a little tender love and care. But I think retail knew this thing probably went for like 5, $600. I just want it gone. If you come to my house in St. Paul, it's yours.

[Andrew Walsh]

Just please take it away.

[Evan]

Wow, it's taking up space in the garage.

[Luke Burbank]

That is a really cool offer because again, you're in a place in a part of the world where that really comes in handy that snow blowering.

[Evan]

Yeah. If I'm being totally honest, which TBTL is nothing but honest is we have like more of a driveway pad. We don't really need a heavy duty snowblower. When we first took it on, we thought it was maybe something a little less cumbersome. But if you have like a good sized driveway and you're in the Twin Cities and you want to do some heavy duty snowblowing, please come.

[Luke Burbank]

Can we see the video of this? I understand we do have.

[Evan]

We are multimedia organization.

[Luke Burbank]

I want to see this because this is a, this is a burly piece of machinery here. Look at those. I don't even know what you call those. The blades?

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, like blades. Yeah. I love hearing the birds in the background on that little video.

[Luke Burbank]

By the way, do you know what this, this. If you want a sense of how out of the snow blower loop I am when, when I heard you say snowblower, John, in one of our like TBTB meetings, I thought a snowblower was like a leaf blower. I thought it was a thing someone wears on their back and it blows the snow, which again would just be what a Leaf blower is. But this is a thing. It's almost like a rototiller. It kind of.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

It sort of picks the snow, it chops it up, and then it kicks it out to the side again. This is something cold climate people know all about. It's. Yeah, it's a new world for me.

[Evan]

So the actual blower part. And I'm not technically inclined, so please don't come at me in the sharp shooting. It's like the actual blower part is like this arm that comes out the top, and, like. So it's bringing in the snow, churning it up, and then blowing it out and spitting it out. This model also has a lamp, like a light on it. So we'll leave the light on. No snow blow at night.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah. That'll really make your neighbors happy.

[Luke Burbank]

Deserves a quiet blow. Wait, what, John?

[Andrew Walsh]

I did ask. It's funny. One of you guys just brought up leaf blowers, and that's a question that I had. Is there ever. So here in the Pacific Northwest, I have noticed something more and more, which is people getting very, very angry about leaf blowers. Generally speaking, there are people who are just like, abolish all leaf blowers. Like, get yourself a rake. We don't need this racket. Like, you can do this manually. It's not a big deal. Now, snow is a very thing. It gets very, very heavy in the Midwest, especially if it's a wet snow. Is there any of that? Is there some. Are there some people who are like, you don't need a damn snow blower. Turn that thing off. You're. You're making too much racket?

[Evan]

I don't think that's the case. I think people are accustomed to the sound of it. Here is like, when you're also trying.

[Andrew Walsh]

To sell a snowblower. So.

[Luke Burbank]

No, it's trying to give one away.

[Evan]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

Don't undercut me.

[Luke Burbank]

No.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Evan]

No. I think it's one of those things where, like, if it's a snow. If there's, like, more than 4 to 5 inches people, you'll start hearing it in the morning. Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

And it does seem. Again, I love. I'm the person who has the least knowledge of this, but it strikes me that getting the snow cleared off of, like, driveways and sidewalks and walkways is a kind of. It's a community good, you know, and so it might just be like, yeah, we got to put up with this. Whereas the leaf blowing, which. And what I've noticed is the leaf blowing happens with the most regularity in very Very wealthy neighborhoods. Because very wealthy neighborhoods are full of homes that are often staffed by people that do landscaping. And they're. There's nothing worse than. We're like, on a CBS shoot. And we happen to be, like, this week, coming week, we're gonna be filming at Seth MacFarlane's house, the family Guy guy. I promise you there will be five leaf blowers going all the time in the various mansions in the neighborhood. So it's one of those things that it is both annoying to me, the sound of a leaf blower, and it annoys me, the wealth that often is adjacent to the leaf blower, which is not what the snow blowing is about.

[Evan]

Luke, you're 100% right. Like, we actually have neighbors on either ends of my house, like, a few doors down on either side. Him and Mike, who one of them will inevitably just do the whole sidewalk for somebody with their snowblower and, like, just drop off, like a six pack at their house or something. Or some cheese curds.

[Luke Burbank]

That's awesome.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's.

[Luke Burbank]

I do think snow. That's another thing about snow. It does. It is the thing that seems to bring out a community spirit in the idea of maybe if you have a neighbor who's older or something, kind of like taking care of their driveway or. You know what I mean? Like. Like this idea that you can show kind of love to your neighbors by. By. By helping them out a little bit or just like, I was already out here with the snowblower. Let me just hit your. Hit your sidewalk and stuff. Like, it brings people together generally.

[Evan]

Yeah, it's really sweet.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Shout out to Dave Burnham, my former neighbor in New Hampshire, who would also snow blow our driveway. The man was 30 years older than me, and he was out there snow blowing our driveway.

[Luke Burbank]

Did you have a snow blower, Andrew Hampshire?

[Andrew Walsh]

No, I don't believe I've ever had a snowblower. We might. You know what? I was going to say we might have had one in Valley City, Ohio, but I think I'm thinking of a rototiller, which is sort of a similar shape. If you think.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, that's what I just said earlier. It's this thing, the thing that John has looks like a rotote.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, did you say that? I'm sorry. I was probably distracted with thinking of my next.

[Luke Burbank]

What was your plan for getting through, other than Dave Berner? What was your plan for getting through the New Hampshire winter without a snowblower? Were you just, like, hard? We're just hardcore shovel man.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah. He didn't do it all the time. Yeah. You just shoveled the snow a lot. We had a, you know, we had a full driveway that you would. That you would sort of drive up. But that's why I always, like, think about, like, the. What winters, like, snowy winters are like. It's like you would just wake up on a Wednesday and be like, well, I'm not sure if I want to go into work today. But that's not even the problem right now because I need to spend, like, literally an hour just getting, like, sweaty in the driveway under a bunch of winter clothes, shoveling out the cars, you know, and then letting them defrost. And then after an hour of that, then you can head in to your job. It's.

[Luke Burbank]

This is why you have no patience for me complaining about it being cloudy in the wintertime here.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. But I will say this, and this gets us a little bit off topic, and I got a listener who's on hold here. We should go to maybe another fish. Another fish on the line. But there is something communal about weather experiences. Now, when you're talking about, like, really severe ones where lives are in danger, that's really scary, of course, and I don't want to minimize that. But when you have a big weather event that hopefully on a broad scale is not like, necessarily life threatening, but still life altering, like a big storm coming into the Northeast or something like that, everybody huddles together in a way, and everybody. And there's a sense of community. And I have come to develop a theory that I want to be very careful with my words here because I don't want to diminish people's experiences here in the Pacific Northwest. But I do think that. And I was thinking about this a few weeks ago, everybody was like, oh, false spring is coming. And they were like, complaining about the nice weather because it wasn't going to last. And I was like, you have nice weather in January. Just go enjoy it and then deal with the rain when it comes back. But it occurred to me, I think no matter where you live, people want to get together around the weather. I think the reason the big dark has become a bigger thing in recent years, as I've noticed it, is because people want to commune around this idea of we're all in this together. And when you look at it that way, it's kind of nice.

[Luke Burbank]

It is literally the only. Any universally shared experience, if you think about it in a particular area. It's. It's. Well, generally speaking, it's apolitical unless we're talking about climate change. But it's, you know, it's, it's the, it's the rare thing that you can just kind of go if it's raining outside, everyone who's outside is experiencing the same thing. And so it is bonding in that way.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

How do people get a hold of you, John, to get their hands on this really free snowblower?

[Evan]

Yeah, just shoot me an email. AndrewBT. Yeah, no, you could send but you can send my email. Please Send John Jon tbtl.net and I'd be happy to hear from you again. If you're in the Twin Cities area or you want to travel to the Twin Cities and pick up a, a large snowblower, it is yours. Please just.

[Luke Burbank]

But it works. You're saying I might need a tuneup, but it works?

[Evan]

Yeah, I think so. Here's again, I'm not mechanically inclined. My father in law who is got to work for us the last time we used it that was like, like last winter, you know, one time just.

[Luke Burbank]

Hit that carburetor with a little bit of of spray some gas directly in that car. You'll be fine.

[Evan]

I see. These are words, I don't even know what they mean. I'm so this is not my bail.

[Luke Burbank]

Ever since I changed the blades on my electric riding lawnmower, I think I'm freaking Ed Hume over here just like Mr. Lawn Repair. So I'd say hit that carburetor with a little gas and you'll be fine.

[Evan]

Well, thank you John Jon tbt.

[Andrew Walsh]

Net not Andrew, not don't send it to me. I have nothing. When I get this show posted, I am done. Thank you John. Appreciate you. Appreciate you.

[Luke Burbank]

Good job with all this today. Appreciate you man.

[Evan]

Thank you guys.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's been great. And also John did not mention this on the show but I will mention it if you can't make it to his neighborhood to pick it up, he is willing to ship it. Free shipping. He says he'll cover all the costs. He'll send it overseas first class, he said. He said the further away the better actually. So. And he will take care of all.

[Luke Burbank]

I remember that too from that meeting.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. I have a caller here who's been waiting for eight and a half minutes of bringing them up onto the line right now. Ahoy hoy. Somebody maybe in the Seattle area. Who do we got?

[Luke Burbank]

Hello there. You're on TBTL radio. Can you hear us?

[Andrew Walsh]

All right, that person is gone. We don't have time for such foolishness.

[Luke Burbank]

That's, you know, so Far. And of course, now this is the biggest jinx of all time. The, the. All the technology has worked really well so far today, Andrew. I'm very proud of this. Very happy. Nice work.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes. Now I. This might be the same caller calling back. Hello, you're on TBTL Trading.

[Luke Burbank]

Hi, can you hear us?

[John Skloroff]

Hi. Oh, sorry. This is Karen from Seattle, your local gardener.

[Andrew Walsh]

Hey, Karen, how are you doing?

[John Skloroff]

Hi. Good. I'm great. So I'm calling because I have plants to give away and I can't guarantee that they will glorify the Lord. I think they might.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm sorry, I'm hanging up on you. This. They can't glorify the Lord. We're not interested.

[Luke Burbank]

I mean, they're the only kind of plants that we're accepting today. Karen. No. What do you got?

[John Skloroff]

I suspect they do, but I can't guarantee it. That's all I'm saying.

[Luke Burbank]

Absolutely. There are no guarantees in life. What kind of plants?

[John Skloroff]

Yeah, so I have irises. Oh, which kind of ironically, the, the. The. The kind of iris I have is called Cry of Rejoice.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, that sounds glorifying.

[John Skloroff]

That one might glorify the Lord. I have some crocosmia, which are orange, cute little orange plants that bloom in August. And I have some hellebores, which bloom in March. That's very cool because they bloom when nothing else is blooming. Also, by the way, I mean, this is all sort of Pacific Northwest plants.

[Luke Burbank]

So you're talking growing zone eight and a half.

[Karen Hugue]

Half.

[John Skloroff]

Pardon?

[Luke Burbank]

You're talking growing zone eight and a half. Probably.

[John Skloroff]

Exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[John Skloroff]

So the real ones. And then I have. Yeah, exactly. So then I have some. And this sounds kind of dirty, but I have some red hot pokers.

[Luke Burbank]

I love red hot pokers. Those are a great plant. We used to have those at the Burbank Springs Broadcast Center. Yeah, those are really fun.

[John Skloroff]

Yeah, they're really beautiful. I mean, they. They come up. They're sort of tropical looking where they come up with these sort of yellow spikes and they're orange at the top. And they need very little maintenance. I mean, you practically have to do nothing. If you plant them in, like, light soil, they'll just. They'll just grow and be happy. So anyway, I'm in Lake Forest park and I'm just giving these away. I have lots of them. So anyone who wants free plants, you can DM me on Instagram or you can DM me on Blue sky. And I'm just Karen Hugue K A R E N H U G G at Well, I don't know, Blue sky, dot, social, whatever it is.

[Luke Burbank]

Dot. Huh.

[Andrew Walsh]

We're calling it Blue Ski now, by the way.

[Luke Burbank]

I don't know if you caught up, caller.

[Andrew Walsh]

We had on Friday.

[Luke Burbank]

Hey, Karen, two things. One, do you want to also, like, promote your, you know, the other stuff that you're doing around plants? What is, what's the name of your project again?

[John Skloroff]

Oh, well, I had a couple years ago, during my. Think it was 2022, I. I had a book published called Leave your troubles behind, how to destress and grow happiness through plants. Yeah, and that's, that's a book that I did during the pandemic where, where I compiled all the research out there about how plants can make us happier. And so it's sort of like this compendium of that research. It's sort of like all the research is in one place in this book. And then there's activities that I include and then stories about how plants have helped people's mental health improve. So, so that's all.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay, excellent. One other, just selfishly, Karen, can I ask you quickly a couple of plant questions?

[John Skloroff]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Luke Burbank]

When this is done today, I'm literally going to go out in my yard and I'm going to fill. I have these very large planters which I'm going to put soil in. And then I'm going to put these star jasmine starts in there that I have that are already starting to climb. And my question is, do I want to try to really kind of like, the star jasmine are still in their pots. There's six of them. They're in the pots that they came in, but I'm going to take them out. Do I want to try to loosen up the roots when I'm kind of integrating them into the soil? And then also one of them seems like it's kind of dried out. Five of them are doing great. The star jasmine one seems like it's kind of dead, but I'm hoping it's not dead. How would you revive a star jasmine start that kind of is. The leaves are pretty brown.

[John Skloroff]

So have they been inside or have they been outside?

[Luke Burbank]

They were inside until we got past the freeze. These have not gone through a freeze now they're outside. They were inside here in the studio, literally next to me until like, two weeks ago.

[John Skloroff]

Okay. And does the studio have heat? Like, does that star jasmine possibly dry out from maybe your heater?

[Luke Burbank]

Maybe. If it dried out, Is it dead then? Probably.

[John Skloroff]

Well, it depends. What you can do is you can, with your thumbnail, scratch the Bark just a little bit. And if it is green underneath, that means the plant is still moving water and nutrients through its system.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay. Okay.

[John Skloroff]

Yeah. And so, and then also you could, you could try, you could try it up top. And if it's brown up top, you can try it lower and keep going a little bit lower until you see green.

[Luke Burbank]

I've got to try to find some evidence that it's still growing, I guess.

[John Skloroff]

Right. That that's still moving nutrients. So then what you can do is you can trim off the brown stuff at the top. And I would trim it when it's kind of at the little Y's of where the branches, you know, branch out. Always, always prune back to there and then keep, you can kind of keep cutting it, cutting it until you see that green, that green spot. And then I would plant it in some, you know, just some fresh potting soil. And I'd put like some maybe slow release fertilizer in there like Osmocote. And then just give it a good watering and keep an eye on it, see if it sprouts new little growth.

[Luke Burbank]

I bought some fertilizer, too. I bought some soil that supposedly has fertilizer in it, but I also bought fertilizer, but I don't want to burn the plant. Should I put the, make sure the fertilizer is not right up against the base of the, the plant?

[John Skloroff]

Yeah, you want to. The, the slow release fertilizer is meant to be mixed in with the dirt among the roots. I mean, I wouldn't put it. I wouldn't like, put a lot on. I would just sprinkle a little on the edges.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay.

[John Skloroff]

And then that will eventually, you know, just sort of become part of the soil and feed the roots. I would watch out for compost that'll burn the roots. So things like fresh potting soil should be enough. Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Okay. Oh, my gosh. Thank you. This is so helpful. I don't know if this has been good for the listeners or the tradio callers, but, Karen, this has been exactly the information I needed for the rest of my day. So thank you.

[Andrew Walsh]

So, going back.

[John Skloroff]

No problem. That's. That's a great choice to plant jasmine, Luke. I mean, especially down there, kind of around Portland, you know, you have the heat that we don't get as much here, but you'll still, I mean, they'll still bloom for you if they get fertilized and get some heat.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, well, sleep, creep, leap. Right? Sleep, creep, leap, leap is what I've heard about this particular plant. So anyway, what were you saying, Andrew?

[Andrew Walsh]

I just say to go over the basics. Karen, you have some plants to give away. You're in Lake Forest park here in Seattle, and the best way for people to find you is to look for Karen. Hug. That's Hugg on Instagram or Blueski.

[John Skloroff]

That's right. I'm on Blueski and Instagram.

[Andrew Walsh]

And do folks get a lifetime, a lifetime's worth of advice along with these free plans?

[John Skloroff]

Hey, I love to be honest. I mean, I was a garden designer for, like, 20 years, so I love talking about plants. And so you got questions. You can also just DM me with questions. No problem.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm come. I'm coming at you, Karen, because, like, I've got. So I'm. I'm building these raised beds. I'm like Mr. Attempted Green Thumb this year, and I have a lot of questions. So I hope I'll be hitting you up on Instagram. Instagram.

[John Skloroff]

Oh, no problem. That's great. More gardening, the better.

[Luke Burbank]

Thank you.

[Andrew Walsh]

Thanks, Karen. Leaf your troubles.

[Luke Burbank]

What a great name.

[Andrew Walsh]

Behind. I love it. It's a beautiful volume, too. I'm not joking. Why would I joke about that? I'm opening the lines one more time here, Luke, what do you think? Do you have, like, one more call in you?

[Luke Burbank]

One more call?

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Because these have all been really good calls today.

[Andrew Walsh]

I know. It's like, you don't.

[Luke Burbank]

You don't kind of want to leave on a high note.

[Andrew Walsh]

I know, but.

[Luke Burbank]

But, but. But also, maybe we could. We could fly to new heights with this final call.

[Andrew Walsh]

I mean, we are putting so much pressure on this last caller who apparently is possibly calling in from, again, the greater Seattle area.

[Luke Burbank]

It's our hot zip.

[Danny Crawford]

Ahoy hoy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Who's on the line?

[Karen Hugue]

This is Evan.

[Luke Burbank]

Evan, what's up, Evan? How you doing, buddy?

[Karen Hugue]

I got true. It's going great. I cannot believe. Well, I've called. I think I have to hear Andrews, if that.

[Luke Burbank]

Are you, you know, breaking up a little bit?

[Andrew Walsh]

Ev, I think we have a bad line here.

[Luke Burbank]

Or maybe step outside.

[Andrew Walsh]

Hold on.

[Luke Burbank]

Step inside.

[Karen Hugue]

Got it. Can you hear me?

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes, yes, yes. You've been trying to. You've been trying to get on the line all morning. Is that what you were saying?

[Karen Hugue]

Well, 92 times in a row. Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

Wow.

[Karen Hugue]

Yeah. And I think I was the caller that I dropped my airpod out of my ear, so it disconnected us. I was waiting eight and a half minutes.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, sorry, man.

[Karen Hugue]

So that was fun. I'm really, really stoked that I got through to you guys. Because I've got something really fun to offer.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Karen Hugue]

For. For anybody living up here. I mean, I'm in the Northwest, and as Luke, I think, can attest, I've got a pretty cool sailboat, and I'm willing to offer anybody a free cruise on it. Let's go crabbing.

[Andrew Walsh]

This is kind of going against our rules here, Evan. This is a. This is not a. Free hugs, no free back rubs, no clarinet lessons. I think we're kind of delving into experience things.

[Karen Hugue]

Yeah, I'm gonna. Oh, no. Experiences.

[Andrew Walsh]

That was. That was sort of what we were going for. But I guess I'm cutting you off here. This was sort of a clearing out your garage kind of situation. But.

[Karen Hugue]

Okay. I've got. Basically, I've got a property full of cool shit that I want to get rid of.

[Luke Burbank]

I mean, I can attest I've been to Evan's property many times, and there's a lot of bullshit there.

[Karen Hugue]

You sure have. No, you guys, my. I've got a huge wood shop, and I have. Have about 300 live edge slabs because I've got a mill, a sawmill that I'm willing to part with for a small cost.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay. Now somebody is looking back into the groove.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, we're on. We're right in the groove, Ev. So basically, if somebody is looking to get a live edge, which, if you know what that is, you know, it's like that really beautiful wood. Sometimes people make tables out of it or various things, or I have all.

[Karen Hugue]

Of the capacity to cut it down for you to any dimension. Does that make sense?

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Karen Hugue]

And just. Just for a small fee. I mean, I'm. I do it on a sliding scale, so if people can't afford these things, I. I work with them budget wise.

[Luke Burbank]

So what if I had a really wet piece of wood, Evan, and I needed to dry it in a kiln? That's not a service you could provide.

[Karen Hugue]

I. I have a wood kiln that I built in my shop. And if you're anywhere nearby, I mean Seattle, whatever, bring as much as you want up here and I will dry it for you. And even the hardest wood, such as black walnut, maple, things like that, I can have bone dry with 8% moisture within two weeks.

[Luke Burbank]

This is one of the cases where it absolutely works.

[Andrew Walsh]

You did really sing the praises of this thing when you first got it.

[Luke Burbank]

You loved it because, you know, I loved having a cat and maybe someday we'll get bubbles back out here. But I'm, you know, like most people, not a huge fan of the cleaning the litter situation. It really does actually keep this thing under, under wraps. And then like once a week you just empty this drawer. You take out a plastic bag that's like in this drawer and then you toss it out. It's a nice thing. It's. That's going for. They're asking 100 bucks for this thing. It's. And they're at 206-214-8444.
