This is the most out there, but also the best podcast we've ever done. I'm not going to say what it is. Enjoy it. Follow on the podcast, on the Patreon. Enjoy. Welcome. Welcome to the Auntie Donna podcast. Hello, everyone.

It's so nice for you to be here in the Caribbean, where we're on a holiday. Two things you need to know. Tom Zahari is here, composer. Hello. And Zach found out just before we started recording that both myself and Tom and Mark have LinkedIn. I just found out that everyone has LinkedIn's. I'm the only member of Auntie Donner that doesn't have a LinkedIn. But I don't use the LinkedIn.

Sure. I always see you. Now I see you every time. or at the airport, you go, oh, you see people going into the lounge, you're like, oh, hey, buddy. I purely had it because, like, when I started the footy pot, I'll be like, good for networking in that world. And now I hate it.

I truly hate it. I want to get on LinkedIn. I want to go, oh, very good. Made some great work today with the production company. And everyone goes, oh, very good. Congrats. Congrats. Anyway, we're here because Mark has, what are we doing going with today?

I don't know. A pitcher. Mark is not here, but Zach and I have brought you in and we're paying you $1,500. Oh, wow. Stoked. I'm sure about that. And to get you in as a composer because Zach and I wanted to write Mark a song to say welcome back next week. Welcome back, Mark.

So when Mark comes back, he's been away for this week. We thought it would be cute to give him a little sing song. and then maybe he can upload it, you can all upload it to your LinkedIn. You need to genuinely chill the fuck out about the LinkedIn. You just all make connections in the business world. All I did is I went to LinkedIn, Zach. So don't prosecute me.

And it had a thing where you could either create an account or you could sign in using your, you know, using Google. I click sign in with Google. It added all my emails. Whoops, oops, oopsies. That's it. Typical. You guys have betrayed me

I thought we were cool I thought we were riding riding together only on the cool platforms like TikTok and Instagram We are time for connecting with business partners We are cool But we still need to make connections in the business world

No I'm only about making art Making art Like funny pictures on Instagram Now listen Yeah Are you happy to move on and do this song? You can be about LinkedIn.

It can be. No, I don't want to make it about LinkedIn. I don't know what LinkedIn is. Can be passively aggressive about LinkedIn. I just imagine LinkedIn is people doing. This is what I imagine LinkedIn is because I've never been on LinkedIn. This is what I imagine. It's like, exciting day at the conference today made some great connections and people were

loving the pens we were giving out. Ha ha, those pens are fantastic. Where can I get one? Just send me a DM I can send you a pack Ha ha great pens Congrats Was great to see you

These are the comments Yeah Is that a good riff on LinkedIn Oh very good yeah Yeah not quite right Well then what's your LinkedIn Tom go play the music Okay

Hi I'm Tom This is my qualifications And here's an article I've written about Using Splice to make music Okay, and now, Broden, you do your impression of LinkedIn. Huge September for the Footy with Broden podcast, 200,000 listeners this September. Thanks so much for tuning in.

We're going on to bigger and better things every footy season. Have you done posts like that? That's the one I did. Wow. Makes me sick that I did this. Yeah, I love it. You think you know a guy? What a hustler.

What a hustler. He's got the hustler. him. Huh. Are you happy to keep doing the podcast now knowing that I have a LinkedIn that I haven't touched, by the way, in eight months? Yeah, no, no, that's fine. I'm happy to move on.

We don't have to talk about LinkedIn anymore. I feel like it's like you're talking in a way that it's changed things. Yeah, it's going to be a thing. No, no, no, no, no. I just, let's move on. Let's move on. Something feels wrong here. No, I just...

You really posted that? In the footy world, that's how you build out a brand in that footy world. Obviously, in our world, we come in and do spoofs and gags. There's not a real mind to commercialism here, but in that footy world, sure. Now, we're going to write a song? Yeah, yeah, let's write a song. Now, what kind of fun song can we have for Mark? I mean, who also has a LinkedIn.

I'll have a LinkedIn eventually, you know, when I'm looking for that RMIT job? RMI T job. Would you guys all leave me for your high-flying CFO roles? I don't think I'll ever go for a Chief Financial Officer role in any business act. That's not my... I don't think you did mass in your 10, right? So would, like, Chief Financial Officer, you need to do lots of masks. You bring that up for, cunt.

Because you need to do lots of maths. Guys, that's not your strength. Yeah, lots of other strengths. LinkedIn is tearing us apart. You're tearing us apart. I've had the LinkedIn for a while. I don't use it. I think we should never talk about LinkedIn ever again from this moment on.

I just want to say one thing because I've opened LinkedIn up. And I'm not friends with Mark on it. And so I can connect with Mark and it says, do I want to add a little note? Maybe I could reach out to Mark with a little note. Oh yeah, you can say something like, hi, love your work with Auntie Donna. We'd love to connect sometime and pick your brains about the industry. That's good, Zach. You should get on LinkedIn.

If I got on LinkedIn, I would fucking smash. I want to see you do a LinkedIn post about your successful podcast, a mission Zach podcast. I'm going to make a LinkedIn. I'm going to make a LinkedIn. No, I really don't want to make a LinkedIn. All right, I've sent the message to Mark. Hopefully he replies.

I feel like Zach would hyper focus in on it. And you'd like get into it for a bit. I think the way he's going about it now, what this is, is actually a perfect way to springboard into LinkedIn by bringing that audience over with him. Yeah. There's all of a sudden this fun audience who are engaging with him liking them. And then someone from Nike's like, that guy, Zach, he's really engaged on this LinkedIn platform. Yeah.

I'm going to make him a brand ambassador for Nike. Really? There's people from Nike on LinkedIn? Are we doing a fucking song? Tom drove here. It's not close to his house. No, it's not. 40 minutes away.

Wow. Wow. Well, you've just dugs yourself within the 40-kilometer radius of South Melbourne. Now people know you live in the greater Melbourne area Yes Borderline Okay Yeah

I do think it would be funny to start a LinkedIn Make that a running joke on the podcast But I don't think I can be bothered I'll let you know next podcast if I've done it But it's really like If I'm being really honest It has damaged this episode to this point Like all we're talking about is

LinkedIn I mean there's a reason I don't have a LinkedIn I think it would eat a part of my soul. Yeah. No, I feel less of a person for having one and I don't even open it. And I feel sick for having it. No, I think you go connect with those footy people. Well, it's added no help. It's not helped at all, I don't think. The one thing is you get so much spam after you start for LinkedIn. It is like awful. Like every day there's people. Lots of people like with AI companies send you emails. I did turn it all off. Wait, AI people are annoying on LinkedIn. Yeah. And they're saying

that is a shock to me. We can help you connect with your customers. Call us. back, Tom. Call us back. Did they tell you that AI is the future? Yeah, they do, yeah. Wow. Let's never talk of LinkedIn again. Unless I do start a LinkedIn and I'll let you know next podcast because, yeah, I'll let

you know. Okay, well, let's put that to one side and say, Tom, make us a song for Mark. Okay. I'm thinking it should be hyperpop because that's what Mark likes. Yeah. Like this. This is hyperpop? No.

It's Bosanova. Get rid of the Bosanova part. Yeah, this is good. This is a good opening. Okay. All right, can you record my, I'll write something here. You're going to write some lyrics? Do you play me a bit of this?

Okay, give me two seconds. The internet's dropped out. What's the song about? Like, what's it, how we... It's about Mark. Yeah. It's Welcome Back, Mark. It's Welcome Back, Mark.

It's Welcome back, Mark. It's welcome back, Mark. Mark. Welcome. Wait, I... Oh, this is good. Let it roll. Let it just roll and have the vibe just pop in.

Okay. Let me find a bit of info on Mark Banana. I don't have internet. Mark Banana. Yeah. You need to Google information about Mark Banana. I wanted it to be cold and factual. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Mark, member of comedy group Auntie Donner, exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their unique brand of surreal comedy. Yeah, this is good. This is very, um... Yeah, I like this. Mark Bonano He has

Mark's going to... We're making something good here, man. Rodin's going to do the intro where he talks about Mark's life. And then I want you to kick into something. Great. I've decided that was too sad before, so now it's going to be upbeat and fun. But vibey, and it's got to be a bit vibe. It's always vibey, baby.

All right, right. Bro, you're ready with the facts and then you let me know when we kick it up. Okay. Bebabom. And if you're listening, welcome to behind the scenes

in how magic is made. All right. Here we go. Mark Banana was born in 1988 a creator of alternative sketch comedy as a member of comedy group, Auntie Donna. They exploded onto the scene in 2012

with a unique brand of surreal comedy. Bear bim bum. Bad Bim Bum Bambon Bambem Bum Got a bad Bimp Bum I'm going down to the Bambon Mark Bonano wings a down

down with the bomb And you gotta take it like This is how we play Gotta play together with the Bambin Bum Bunk Mark Mark Bonano was born in 1988 he's a member of comedy group Auntie Donner their work can be seen online

through YouTube or other social media platforms Bear Beard Bomb in the down on the street Just cut it there That's good The Bear Bim Bomb thing Is I think Bim doesn't worry I'm going to go back to Bear Beard Bomb

Bear Beard Bomb Bear Beard Bomb What are we trying to achieve with the bear beard? Trying to sort of move away from logic. I'm trying to paint a picture of Mark. What else is Mark? That's great. That exists outside of narrative and exists.

So, you know, people would, when they think of Mark, they're going to try and reduce him. I'm trying to reduce Mark. And I'm also trying to, like, obfuscate. I'm trying to have the audience hear the song and see Mark anew. Yep. So I don't want them to fully understand everything we're saying all at once. In fact, I agree. Bearbeard bomb doesn't work because it's too literal.

Well, let's go to the next verse. Let's keep Bear Beard Bomb for a bit. And also, at some point, I want to run that through something, Tom. Yeah. And get really hard, really hard, really hard sort of dick. No. No. Music, you know, like.

music. Sure, where you make it, where you make it fit the tune. Auto tune. Fair beard bomb. All right. Next verse, Broden. How else do we capture who Mark is? Mark, what does Mark love? He loves like ramen noodles. That's true. I'm interested as well in the gap between, so he used to love Star Wars. He doesn't love Star Wars anymore. It let him down. I'm I'm not interested in the part that is Star Wars. I'm not interested in the love for Star Wars or the lack of love. I'm interested in that space between, you know, the way the love no longer lives.

The love missing, not the dislike emerging. Does this make sense? You want to perform this to Mark next week when he comes back? Mm-hmm. Okay. I think I have an idea. Okay. Are we keeping Bear Bid Bomb or are we moving on to the next verse?

Bear Bid Borm is the first versus the next verse. Okay, great. And do I just jump straight in Or do you have some... No, I think you go for it. All right. From the top. Yeah, from the top.

Can you loot? Go back. What's happening? You're doing the facts. Mark Banana was born in 1988. A member of comedy group, Auntie Donna, known for their unique brand of sketch comedy. They exploded onto the scene 2012.

We gotta go go from the top. That was the top Yeah but I missed when I was meant to come in It's a new verse for you Okay that's good That's good Alright I like this That's cool

Alright go back from the top Go back from the top I got this Bit of UKG Yeah Mark Bonano was born in 1988 He exploded on the scene with their unique brand of sketch comedy Uh

He's got a beard And Barefoot And bombed Beard Bown That's what you are, you wear it on your face, a bad bit bomb, a bad bit bomb, take it away, you know what it is, you're the bad bit bomb. I'm interested in the space between what once was and what

remains. That's good, Zach. light i'm interested in what once was and what remains back to the chorus bear bit bomb baby bomb what remains of the bear bit bomb i see you don't be afraid Pause it. I think this is a work of art. This is truly not far off a hyper-pop song. Wow. All right, so that's one song.

I think we start another one. That recording we have there, Lins, we want to cut that up and have that ready for next week. Just to play for him next week. We're going to write another song. But this time, I want to go back to our roots. Country and Western. Beautiful, bro. Beautiful, beautiful.

Country and Western, almost the opposite. Where before we were trying to paint a picture, an abstract picture, trying to take the inside and bring it out. Country and Western, famously, is a genre, has relationships to bluegrass, to folk, to all these different things. Storytelling, narrative is key.

A bit less, I'm not there, a bit more, the Chalamee Bob Dylan one. Yes, yes. I'm just going to free wheel this out Yeah, yeah, yeah, go for it Hmm Got a friend called my banana That's good

Doesn't I wear his shoes My friend called my banana He does jokes of bad poos What happened? I got to change the tempo I'm so sorry That's okay That was good though, Briden

Did you like that? Yeah, that was good It was incredible really Are we going to take it verse by verse? Yeah, you go, you do verse? I think we try and I'll leave you words to rhyme to, you know what I? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got a friend called my banana, he does not wear his shoes, my banana, he's, he loves blues clues.

I know my banana from a place called Where I be. And that's the only way he knows where to be. My banana He works hard My banana He does jokes about fads He knows it can be The hardest of journeys

He knows it can be Harder than you can see My banana He did not come today My banana It makes me sad to say God love God loves you, Mike Bonano, God loves you, Mike Panano, God loves you.

Mike Bonano, God loves you. Bring it down now. Got a friend called My Bonano, made him out back by the rat. Down by the gravy spot, he put a sock on his sack. He's a little man. Got a big heart Works hard every day That's my banana

Got a beard Got no shoes God who loves to show Bluscles Here's my banana Pannano There ain't nothing harder When working hard

To make the people The people love My banana God loves you Mark Banana My banana My banana My banana

God loves you My banana My banana Samuel Samuel My banana My banana My banana.

This is great. That's it. That's it. Yeah. It's a hit. So that's too done. I think we make an album with Mark's songs. Because the next one I'd like, still in this sort of range,

I want to go a little more foky. I want to go a little bit Jeff Buckley. Okay. Oh. See what I can find. A little bit. I don't know if that's folk. I don't think folks quite.

right um no no like like why maybe like a like pussy rock oh this is in the right realm yeah this is a little bonnie ver yeah but bonnie ver's great too yeah this is good too yeah yeah i didn't know i could get that high oh yeah you can't great range right i can get that right all right okay okay sorry you're rushing and you're rushing a genius no no that's okay no no and we'll do a verse each as well this time i can i can start this one okay then we'll go from there I have a little request for this one. Yeah, yeah. I'll let you lead this one.

If you could somehow get in there, I think it would be, he'd appreciate his LinkedIn. Yeah, yeah, get right on to his LinkedIn. Oh, yeah, he made them laugh while he did cry, but he needed to make interactions in the industry to make them see, make them see, that's why he went in, that's why he went in. Oh, Ligdine mappanoo. Lickdine ma'anoo. I know you're afraid to go there because you don't know where.

It's beautiful. It will go. My, banana, make those connections, you're going to be a little little little pro-fo, make them laugh while you cry, it's time to go sin. Great. That one is good. That's really moving. Wow.

How long's an album have to be? I just feel like that would really work. I think that fades it out. That fades it out. That's after we do a bit of LinkedIn, you just put that over the top of that. So it would be like, like, LinkedIn.

LinkedIn. No-bril phone. LinkedIn, na-la-na-na-na-na-no. Make connections with my... My connection with my... Right. And then if you can quickly just get one prolonged fart at the end. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

A squeaky light one. A squeaky light one? Yeah, a Jeff Buckley-esque. Two layout. Softer. Yeah, that one. Oh, that one. No, that one.

That one. Yeah, so just at the end. We'll give you a few bars of the pan flute. Yep. And then into that. And are we going to sing it again? to record it down and then, yeah, all right, all right. All right, let's start with no drums, no pan for it.

All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah. No. Oh. There was a boy, made them laugh. He stood at home and cry. He wanted to know What life was like

In the world of sin He signed up For LinkedIn Oh Who Oh, who Oh My Panano

The LinkedIn Prooper Ney with my banana My banana. Oh, Oh, my banana. My banana. My banana.

My banana. Oh. That's good. It's really good. That's really good. What's the next genre for our album? I want to know what you like with just A guitar, a bass guitar, drums, and a big rock voice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A bit of rock and roll. Yeah. This feels like a segment on Whose Line. But, um... And I think, I think it's a good idea here to talk about, um, the fact, Mark thinks he's not a good improviser. Right? But he's one of the best.

I would say he's the best. Uh, and there's nothing I love more than, than, uh, the fact. not engaging while he goes on a rant because I love a Mark rant. I love a Mark improv. And I think maybe just something letting him know that we love his improv. Yeah. I think I have something. Right.

It might not suit. Isn't it crazy the speed of the man? Ah, insane. We do what we can. No, no, you do more than most can. What you can is good. Something like... It's new metal, but some 41, I would say.

Yeah. All right. No one man who tells a lot of lies. He's the best when you improvise. His name is Mark Bonano. Improvising is what he knows. My Banana. My Banana.

My banana. No. My banana. Mark Bananao I'll just pause it there Yeah Are you finding that saying Mark Bonano Is a crutch

Yes absolutely Yeah me too Because I don't know what to say So I'll just start repeating And I've been doing it for most of the song No no absolutely Absolutely But that one wasn't me just saying

Mark Bonano What it was was Mark Bonano Mark Bonano Mark Bonano Impro Because that rhymes with Banana rhymes with Impro Yeah

Yeah Yeah Because we could make it a little more complicated. Where I was going, Mark Bonano, Mark Bonano, Mark Banana, Impro. You could go, I know a guy, his name's Mark Bonano, and he's the best. He doesn't know it. Yeah, I think what we just recorded is a bit of a, a, Miles, what's his name? The trumpet.

Miles Davis. We nailed it. Great. Next song. Yeah. So I'd love something a little more. in the realm of La Rue Robin

Synthi Mid 2000 We're in uni We're in uni Lady Hawk Lady Hawk was more rock But no I know what you mean A bit La Tigray

Dare I say Also a bit rock But you know what we're saying Synthi pop rock Sure Oh Oh wait God That's something faster

Yeah that's in the world But like a good A good drum as well. Like, what was that? The knife. The knife. The knife. Okay, let's work to that.

Now, what could this song be about, Zach? We're making an album of Mark songs to play him. To make him just feel good. Yeah. He's got great style. Style. Yeah. He's a very stylish guy.

I once stole a suit of his. Wore it around for a while. he's got great style you once stole a suit of his wore it around for a while he's got great style I once stole a suit wore it round for a while yeah I wore it round for a while and is that just a refrain we do yeah that's the that's the chorus I think Mark banana he's got great style stole his suit wore it round for a while yeah but um you know we don't have to say Mark Banana in every song. Well, this, we haven't, have we?

Yeah, we have. Okay. Yeah, absolutely. I know a guy who's got good style. Yeah. His name's Mar-Banano wore his suit round for a while. It's good. Yeah.

I mean, we... All right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I think I can do a verse to you. Yeah. What's that trumpet?

I like that. It is a little Justin Timberlake, but I don't mind it. Well, then you take it away. You go, I know a man called Mappanano I has lots of style That is what I know I know a man

Yeah. I put a joke here for you. The same joke. Let's never leave. Passion, passion, style, substance. Good. Now, my concern now is obviously we're doing, releasing this as an album. Obviously, we're pushing and doing a big push for the album.

My problem is when are we doing the tour? Because the issue here is, I'm so glad you brought this up, the issue here is, we've got an tour we need to do that we need to promote. Sure. Unfortunately, I think we need to prioritize this album. I think that's a genuine banger, that one. Yeah, that's sick. Can we go, that's made me go, that was 2000s doing 80s.

Can we go straight back? Can we go all the way back to the 80s? A bit of Tears for Fears. Oh, yeah. A bit of Pet Shop Boys. A bit of Arithmix That's got a bit of take on me

Yeah Yeah this is fun What is it about though Well I think we need to We touched on it in the other song But this is a concept album So we touched it on the other song This is the song about the fact

That Mark is normal height And you and I are tall Yeah Yeah Okay And this will be The second to last song Because we do need to end on a ballad

Yeah So we'll do it. What you've listened to, and we'll do it in the intro, this is a concept, where you are a live creation of an album. It's a concept podcast. We didn't know until we've done here.

What's amazing is, you know, a lot of people would think, oh, this is so cool to hear the germ of ideas. No, no, we will be releasing these tracks as a collage. It's Miles Davis is where, up to our eyeballs in heroin, and we don't want to do second takes. So, um. It's apparently the last Beatles album was, let it be.

It's apparently they just set like these, like just tapes to their producer and the reason there's so many strings he's like I don't know

what to do with this fucking shing let's try this I haven't listened to it I think I can say this take it I knew a man

he was taller than you'd think he was surrounded by two men that were taller two men six foot tall one

Man, a five, ten Everyone thinks that they were normal What is normal? He's got the same size shoe as Zach For that the man doesn't lack Here we go I know a man that was taller than you think He went to town and made you taller

drinks He'd like to sing and make a happy time Everytime But he did not know what to be sublime He wrote Dark Is normal Broden and Zach are taller than that.

My brother is taller height. He's just surrounded by men that are taller than they look. I know that you are afraid. But it's going to be okay. Okay Gonna be okay He's taller than you think We're all gotta be okay

We're all gonna be okay He's taller than you think We're gonna be okay We're gonna be okay Two men at six foot one Gonna be okay I'm gonna be okay One man is taller than yet

There's got to be okay. Wow. Now, I think it's the worst thing with ever. No, I don't know. No, I think there's this. Like the idea of anyone sitting and listening to this. I think if we had two days, two days with this genius sitting across from me, we could make this a listener.

album. Two days. Two. Gotta be okay. I went a bit Bowie there or like, you know, reminiscent to Bowie. I really, I would listen to most of the songs. Most of the songs so far, I would listen to it. It is a ballad.

If they weren't about LinkedIn. Hey, Mark. Mark. Bon, Banana. This is good. This has been a concept album. About Mark Bonano I remember when I saw you first

About a rap I didn't know how good you were At jokes in that Mark Bonano We made this album for you To tell you how smile and clever, stylish and funny you are. Yeah, I'm so deep in this comedy world now that I don't know where the joke is exactly

because you are smart and talented and this music is good. I guess it's the fact that we're only getting one take. Goodbye, it's Mark, but no, no. Matthew, Macbon, Bono. Good, Patu, Maconanau. Maconanau. Magranana, hoo. Higher, higher?

There's another voice there. Just got to figure out what that's doing and then I'll go higher. What are they saying? I thought we were going to say Mark Banana there. What are they saying? Trying to clear your mind, I think. All right.

You can't deal with it. Bye-bye. All right. Maybe a rap. Okay. Yeah. And then I'll... Like, no, no.

I'll go high right at the end. So let's get the rap in. Let's do a bit, a bit. This is a 12-minute song. Yeah, no, this is a deliberately long one so that you can't burn the CD. Oh, yeah. Ha. Goodbye to Mark Bona, no.

J-E-S-U-S-U-S-M-A-R-K. That spells Jesus, Mark. When you fake like that, head out at the game, I don't play that fact. Would you let me go? No, you never come back. I'm going to be the best that you never, never hide. I'm a keep back when you fake like that. This is for you, Mark

I'm going to be the best that you never, never had Mark All right to Mark for I know who this concept album's about Goodbye to Mike And safe travels on your journey All right, now's the time

You do a bit of goodbye and then I'll come in to my banana Goodbye To Mark Nana No I'm

Back to Mike Na no No Goodbye to Goodbye to Mark, no, no, no. Go back to Mark for now.

No. Mark, Bo, no, no. Mark, this is for you, brother. Thanks for being such a great comedy companion. That was a concept album for you. Do you like that? Because I know we were being vague and non-didactic and, you know, like all that kind of. You're saying at the end of that.

This is what it was. Yeah. Yeah, I'm excited to hear his thoughts on it next week. So is the next episode playing this podcast episode to him or just the song? Maybe we play a song to him. We don't maybe have to. Maybe he has to listen to it before. Or maybe we can play the song to him, but we can just edit it out for the listener.

So he gets to listen to the whole song, but the listener just hears the best bits. Yeah, maybe he listens to him in his ears and it's us commentating him listening to them. Yes, yeah. He listens, he doesn't hear our commentary, we talk over it, we'll set something like that up, yeah. So Tom will come in, we'll play them in his ears. A listening party. Yeah, yeah. I'm, I, honestly, like, I want Mark to like this, but also having done, I actually don't give a fuck what the fuck he thinks.

I know that's a fucking work of art. That's brilliant. It's brilliant. It's so good. It is good. I liked, actually. It was a very fun episode. I would like to apologize to our audience, though.

Oh, yeah, no, no, no, not for them. I think one of them should be the new theme song. Oh, okay, Cowboy. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's a bit weird, though, to have an 80s-style song. My concern is having a song in the style of 80s. 80s queer dance anthems about Mark's height as the Auntie Donna opening music might confuse listeners as to... I don't want to throw it out, though.

Okay, I'm not going to throw it out. I'm not going to throw it out. We'll talk about that with Mark next week. But also, for the listener, it will be next week for us too because we don't bank them. Have a great week. Close us out with this. Fast in the lane Never slow no chains
