Chit-Chat Check-In #155 Transcript

Hello, this is your Captain speaking, from a very rainy New Orleans. And I realized, just a few moments ago, that it’s been a long time since I asked for requests for cover songs for me to try and learn and play for you. Because I like doing that.

So I went and looked at some of the past requests, and I saw this one for “Left of the Dial.” And I just sang it, into my phone, for you. I can’t remember who requested it, but I’m sure we’ll dig that name up and say thank you.

Thank you all, to anyone who’s ever put in a request. Let me me know what else you want to hear. In the meantime, if you’re a crossword puzzle solver ... crossword puzzle solver ... you could go on New York Times, if you have a subscription, and I have a crossword puzzle that I helped construct. It’s a bonus one. I hope I get to do a regular daily one someday. But I’m a pretty massive crossword puzzle nut, and I have been for a very very long time. As an addict, you have to remind yourself that you’re still an addict, even when you’re aren’t doing things that are terrible for you. Crossword puzzles are a pretty benign outlet for an addictive tendency, in my opinion.

Anyway, that’s really all I’ve got. So submit some requests. And I’ll see if there’s anything I feel like I could do a service to. Present a serviceable version of. Or even if it’s a massive failure, sue me. I don’t know why that would be a problem, either.

Carry on.
