1 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the short Stuff. I'm Josh and 2 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: there's Chuck, and it's just the two of us, just 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of hanchos, a couple of ombres, 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: just doing our thing, rattling off facts in a superspeedy 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: manner with a limited amount of time. So this is 6 00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: short stuff, so we don't want to waste time with 7 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: long intros saying unnecessary thing right exactly? Uh so the 8 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: po toaster. Huh is this the beginning of our spooky content? Yes, 9 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 1: it is, if that's okay with you. Yeah, it's our 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: favorite month. I love October, I love Halloween. I've been 11 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: sitting on this one since last year. Actually, have you 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: heard of this guy before? Now? And and obviously I 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: didn't just ask Chuck everybody if he's sort of ed 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: Growl and Poe. We're talking about a corollary to the 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: po legend. Everybody knows about Poe, the master author, the 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: creator of the short story um, believed to be the 17 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: first person to ever write a genuine detective story, Ed 18 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: Gralan Poe. Everybody knows about him. We're not talking about 19 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: just him, no, but we are talking about his dead body, Yeah, 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: which Pope would love. Oh, he would totally love it 21 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: he died, and he probably would even love dying under 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: mysterious circumstance. There's no way he didn't. He was probably like, 23 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: as they were dragging him out of the street, he 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: was probably like, this so great. Well, he was forty 25 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: years old. This was an eighty nine and he was 26 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: buried in Westminster Burying Ground in Baltimore, where he made 27 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: his home. And it was kind of not a big 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: deal at the time as far as you know, paying tribute. 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: He had an unmarked gray for a while. Finally a 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: relative stepped up and said, can we at least get 31 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, his name carved into something. He just showed 32 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: up with a stick and carved it in the dirt. 33 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: It he may have, yeah, but yeah, it was. He 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: was still fairly obscure enough that he yeah, he was 35 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: able to first be buried in the on Mark grave. 36 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: But some local academics started to recognize the man's genius 37 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: and they actually held like an early go fund me 38 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: to to create a monument for pose Um grave actually, 39 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: and they were successful finally in eighteen seventy five, that's right, 40 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: So they had a monument carved it was Um. He 41 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: was actually moved. It was dedicated on a on a 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: space a little more befitting one of the great authors 43 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: of his time. And they, you know, they exhumed him, 44 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: moved the body, and about ten years after that his 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: wife and his mother in law were buried along with him, 46 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: which is sort of key in this story. And hopefully 47 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't like a Fred Flintstone type where that would 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: have really bothered him to have his mother in law 49 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: so close by for eternity. Instead, I have the feeling 50 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: that it was a very sweet gesture, sure so that 51 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: you would think, well, that's it there there, That's the 52 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: most you could possibly say about pose remains laying in 53 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: the ground at a grave. Not true. That was the 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: case from about eight to eighteen forty or nineteen forty nine, 55 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: i should say. And then allegedly on that year, the 56 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 1: centennial of his death, UM, he was visited by somebody 57 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: who came to be known as the Poe Toaster, a 58 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: mysterious stranger who showed up at his grave on his 59 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: birthday January nine every year, dressed in an all black suit, 60 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: a white scarf, and a big black, wide brimmed hat 61 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: to cover his face. And created this ritual out of 62 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: whole cloth that eventually attracted the notice of people in Baltimore. Yeah, 63 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: so what would happen is this man presumably would show 64 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: up with a bottle of cognac and literally toast po 65 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: and leave three red roses along with that bottle. Uh, 66 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: they are not. And this would happen sometime between usually 67 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: midnight and six am. So it was even led more 68 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to the creepiness of the whole thing. Yea, and no 69 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: one did anything about it. No one said, hey, grab 70 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: that guy and let's see who it is, get his 71 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: rip off that hat and expose him. Right, it's Roy Kane. 72 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: But um, so what happened was, well, first of all, 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: we should address the cognac. No one was exactly sure 74 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: why he toasted with kognac, even though I read very 75 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: quickly on the Internet that Poe loved kognac. Wasn't in 76 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: his stories. Yeah, he supposedly loved it, but couldn't afford 77 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: it unless someone else was buying, because you know, he 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: didn't he didn't get rich, right, So yeah, a lot 79 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: of people are like, well, he should be using a 80 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: mantiato because obviously the cask of Amontiado is one of 81 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: his great stories. I don't know why he would be 82 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: using cognac. Apparently now we do know why. You just 83 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: solve that mystery for me, Chuck, Thank you. What about 84 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: those roses? So he would leave three roses on the grave, 85 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: like you said, and they've people have come to believe 86 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: that that's a gesture to to Um to give a 87 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: rose to each of the people who are buried beneath 88 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: that monument, Poe, his wife, Virginia, and his mother in 89 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: law Maria. UM. So that one's probably the likeliest explanation 90 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: of that. Should we take a break? I think we should, Um, 91 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: but first will reveal the identity of the po Toaster 92 00:05:30,240 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: after this. How's that for a cliffhanger? Pretty great? So 93 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: I totally lied on the cliffhanger. Um. No one knows 94 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: who the Poe Toaster is as far as we can tell, 95 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: and we certainly don't, so there will be no revealing. 96 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: We just wanted to keep you tuned in. Well, I mean, 97 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: there is one guy who claims he was the Poe Toaster, 98 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: and two thousand seven, a ninety two year old man 99 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: named Sam Porpora claimed it was him. He was a 100 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: former ad executive and he in nineteen sixty was made 101 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: history in Westminster Presbyterian Church, which was apparently in disrepair 102 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: at the time and kind of just full of people 103 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: getting drunk and you know, uh, not treating the graves 104 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: with respect. So he claims he did it as a 105 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: promotional thing to sort of raise money in publicity, and 106 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: it was he and his tour guides. Uh, this gentleman 107 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: Jeff Jerome, who was the curator of the Poe Museum. 108 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: I think his quote was there are holes big enough 109 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 1: in his story you could drive a mack truck through. 110 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 1: So I couldn't find those holes. I couldn't, Like, I 111 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: looked everywhere and I couldn't find him specifically saying why 112 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: he did not think it was him. Well, so Jeff 113 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: Jerome has kind of become like the de facto historian 114 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: of the Poe Toaster because he ran the po Historical 115 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: Society for a while or the Poem Museum. I'm sorry, um, 116 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: and a lot of people put a lot of weight 117 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: into what he says. He claims that he had worked 118 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: out a um signal with the po Toaster so that 119 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: the po Toaster would signal him and let him know 120 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: that he was the real deal, because over the years, 121 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: there were right, there were, um, there were what are 122 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: known as photoasters who people who pretended to be the 123 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Poe Toaster after the thing be kind kind of became 124 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: a big deal, um starting in the seventies. Um, so 125 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: that Jeff Jerome at least would know it was the 126 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: real article. Um. But he swears up and down and 127 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: most people believe him that he has no idea the 128 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: actual identity of the Poe Toaster. The only interaction he'd 129 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: had with the po Toasters at was grave on these 130 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: specific nights over the years. Yeah. And I wonder why 131 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: Sam Porpora would come forward and claim to be such 132 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: so late in life. And they even asked him that 133 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: in this article, and he said, like why he came 134 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: forward and he went, I don't know. Uh, yeah, that's 135 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: not a very good Yeah that that's a big hole 136 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: in your story right there. To not have a motivation. Yeah, 137 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: if you're somebody who who starts out and here's the 138 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: thing like this, This whole Poe Toaster thing became a 139 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: kind of a cause celeb in in Baltimore and places 140 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: outside of Baltimore. People would show up and there'd be 141 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: little groups of onlookers who would watched this thing every year. Um, 142 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: and like you said, very coolly, never tried to find 143 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: out who it was. They just respected it from and 144 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: watched from a distance. Um. So it kind of became 145 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: like this this cool thing. But this guy was doing 146 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: this for decades before it became a cool thing. So 147 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: of course there's some sort of motivation behind all this, 148 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: And people who do stuff like they have a motivation 149 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: behind everything they're doing. There's some larger meaning or some 150 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: something to what they're doing. So, yeah, he would I 151 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: don't believe the poet Toaster would have come forward just 152 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: for I don't know. Well, I mean, he said he 153 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: said why he did it. He didn't say why he 154 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: came forward and invited that he was the Poe Toaster. Yeah, 155 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I don't buy that kind story. Who knows I buy it. 156 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: I think it makes sense as a former ad guy. 157 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: But at any rate, the and he was on the 158 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: scene as well as the historian of the church, so anyway, 159 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: I think it's Uh. I think there's a lot of 160 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: credence there. But at any rate, the the gentleman, whoever 161 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: it was, would leave these notes occasionally, and one note 162 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: in said the torch will be passed it to be 163 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: read in creepy Vincent Price voice when read out loud. Uh. 164 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 1: And then there was one that said the toaster had died, 165 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: and there was a theory, and I think Jeff Jerome 166 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: buys the theory that, um, the torch was passed to 167 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: his sons because they kind of did a uh they 168 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: were sort of lackadaisical about how spirited they were with 169 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: their efforts. Let's just say that was that was a 170 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: really diplomatic way to put it. Yeah. Sometimes they would 171 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: show up in street clothes, and from what I've gathered, 172 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: like the the minimum criteria for being the Poe toaster 173 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: is that all black suit, white scarf and a huge hat. 174 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: That's yeah, there's a certain amount of dapperness that needs 175 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 1: to be brought to this. And showing up in like 176 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: jeans and vans and like a you know, Counting Crow's 177 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: T shirt, that doesn't cut it, buddy, Although the Crows, 178 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: Counting Ravens maybe Baltimore maybe maybe. Uh So. One of 179 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: these notes though that supposedly was left by one of 180 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: the sons, if you buy that theory, was a prediction 181 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl in two thousand one, that the 182 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: giants would beat the ravens. So if if it was 183 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: his sons, then I totally see how Jeff to Rome 184 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: would be like, they're not doing a great job exactly. So. Um. 185 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: So finally, in two thousand nine, I guess that's twenty years. 186 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: Ten years, yes, ten um, ten years after the torch 187 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: was passed, After the original Poe Toaster died allegedly, Um, 188 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: they just stopped showing up all together. And they didn't 189 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: show up in two thousand and ten eleven, and then 190 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: finally in two thousand twelve, when they didn't show one 191 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: more time. Um, Jeff Jerome said, well, I guess I 192 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: have as much cloud as anybody. Being the curator of 193 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: the Poem Museum, I'm gonna officially declare this tradition ended forever. Yeah, 194 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,719 Speaker 1: but not so, because he turned on his heels four 195 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: years later and in said, you know what, let's just 196 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: throw a big party. Uh, we're gonna audition Poe Toasters. 197 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,119 Speaker 1: And this is where the story really like. It's disappointing 198 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 1: to me. I wish they would have just let it die. 199 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: It's this mysterious weird thing, is it the raffle. Yeah, 200 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: they have a raffle. They have a po themed cake 201 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: that you can win, um, you know, hundreds of people. 202 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: They toast apple cider, and I don't mind them honoring Poe, 203 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: but it just I think they could have just divided 204 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: it and not made it part of the Poe toasting 205 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: thing that came and went yeah, yeah, I have to 206 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 1: I have to agree. I like that it's a I 207 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: like the idea of what they're doing. I like the 208 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: toast with apple cider like, but I think, yeah, maybe 209 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: hold it at the local library or something, because it 210 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: really smacks of like the kind of event you would 211 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: hold at a local library. Yeah, and it's during the daytime. 212 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 1: I don't think we mentioned which I mean, if it's 213 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: not between midnight and six am, then just get out 214 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: of here with that. True, But it does give the 215 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: Poe Toaster an excuse to do some day drinking of 216 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: cognac once a year at least or apple cider. Yeah, 217 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 1: supposedly the po Toaster does does drink yex still a tradition. Yeah, 218 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: so I don't. Did you say that they held auditions 219 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: for the new pot toaster. I did, And the new 220 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: pot Toaster plays the violin, though added a little extra flare. Yeah, 221 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: maybe you know what's gonna happen is they're going to 222 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: hear about this and then make us honorary po toasters, 223 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: and we're gonna be way into it. Yeah right exactly. 224 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wear a Counting Crow's T shirt and I 225 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: learned to play the violin, all right, So that's it, 226 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: everybody the pot toaster. This is one of those legends 227 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: where I hope we never ever find out who it was, 228 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: because I think that's wildly appropriate in this case. Okay, 229 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: ad executive, Well, since Chuck said ad executive, that's the 230 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: secret word for short stuff to be out.
