Customer Reviews
“Sucked the salt from their bodies…?”
Had to chuckle about this line from the transcript. Maybe a New Orleans drawl is creeping in and making transcription tricky. And I am perfectly content watching the Lakers lose, even if it is at the hand of the Nuggets. As a Jazz fan whose team doesn’t even know how to tank correctly, I struggle with benevolence for nearby teams who have reached the pinnacle. Que será. I never miss an episode. Keep it up Tim.
Song suggestion…
Tim, right on with your takes…and the music…and the music…and the music.
Bob Dylan’s version of “stormy weather” for obvious reasons…it would kill.
Thanks. jcat
