So, you're not worried about hosting the whole family for the holidays?

SPEAKER_2 (0:08)

Why would I be? Wayfair had everything I needed to get the house holiday ready. What if Mike brings his cheerful dogs? My tree has tons of five-star reviews telling me how sturdy it is.

SPEAKER_1 (0:17)

But what if everyone's plus one brings a plus one? We'll see how extendable this extendable table really is.

SPEAKER_2 (0:23)

And extra chairs are on the way.

SPEAKER_1 (0:24)

Okay. What if there's a blizzard and everyone has to sleep over?

SPEAKER_2 (0:27)

Ready to go with extra bedding and towels.

SPEAKER_1 (0:30)

Hey, Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I don't know if you've heard, but Mint's premium wireless is $15 a month. But I'd like to offer one other perk. We have no stores.

That means no small talk. Crazy weather we're having. No, it's not. It's just weather. It is an introvert's dream. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Hey, John, it's Ethan. Happy bladed 45th.

Kiff Scholl (3:03)

How are you, man? Jesus.

I'm okay. I'm at the bar.

You may have a situation in town, though.

Kiff Scholl (3:15)

What's up?

Soren Narnia (3:17)

The Dodgers. There might be a situation.

Kiff Scholl (3:28)

You've been... keeping up with them.

Soren Narnia (3:30)

Yeah.

Kiff Scholl (3:32)

I guess they've been losing some games.

Soren Narnia (3:36)

Yeah.

I may actually get in touch with Trey, even. Think we can find him?

Kiff Scholl (3:43)

I'm not sure how he's gonna feel about that. Maybe let's just try to keep it with you and me and Freddy.

Soren Narnia (3:51)

Can you talk?

Kiff Scholl (3:54)

I have the kids here. Let me bring you back.

Is there a game tonight or... No. can I listen to something else?

Soren Narnia (4:03)

No. No game tonight.

But soon.

Beth Abdallah (4:14)

Take one of the high tops over there. Me and John will sit over here. You look different.

SPEAKER_10 (4:59)

Well, it's been a lot of years.

Soren Narnia (5:02)

25, Christ. Remember this joker?

SPEAKER_10 (5:07)

John.

Soren Narnia (5:08)

The guy's got a mustache now.

Kiff Scholl (5:10)

How's it going, Ty?

SPEAKER_10 (5:12)

Going okay.

Soren Narnia (5:15)

Bad news about Trey. Remember him?

He's been real sick for about a year. Looks like he may not make it.

SPEAKER_10 (5:22)

That's too bad. I liked Trey.

Soren Narnia (5:25)

He's out in Stoveberry. This is my bar.

I got out of Science for good. I'm the only one stayed near town. I'm in Freer. Except for you, I guess. Technically, you're still here.

SPEAKER_10 (5:38)

There are worse places to live.

Soren Narnia (5:43)

What do you read in these days?

SPEAKER_10 (5:46)

Some things. A lot of Mircha Eliade.

Soren Narnia (5:49)

Did you read the Fragmentarium?

SPEAKER_10 (5:51)

There's no English translation.

Soren Narnia (5:53)

The college has a partial one, but it's with the Anthropology Department. There's interesting stuff about mythic ritual being a way of getting back to the first moment of creation, ancient cultures resetting time, their interior time.

SPEAKER_10 (6:12)

Uh-huh. Good researcher.

Soren Narnia (6:14)

I forget, did you get your masters?

SPEAKER_10 (6:16)

Yeah.

Soren Narnia (6:18)

John got his PhD, pure math. He's teaching over at La Pointe, is it? It's number theory, right?
