I was gonna leave like an hour before the show to make sure I got it right. I'm really sorry, Luke. I can go right now if you want. The Mark closes at like midnight, right? I'll run down there. It'll take me ten minutes. I'm sorry."

And I set up the new call screening system \u2014 it's working now, I tested it like six times. I know I messed up the coffee thing, but I'm actually pretty good at the research stuff.

No offense to him or whatever, but that's not my situation. I went to one of those tantra workshops once with my ex, actually, and we got asked to leave because she wouldn't stop laughing during the eye contact part. It was like forty-five dollars and we were there for maybe twenty minutes. So I guess it depends on what the vibe is, but probably not, if that makes sense."

I don't fully understand it, but Silas seems like a pretty decent dude. I think you'd like it a lot. But here's what I'm trying to get at. If you forget my coffee one more time, I'm sending you down to Silas."

I looked it up earlier actually, when that caller mentioned it, and there's like almost no information online about it, which is kind of weird. Just a Facebook page with no posts since 2019. So I don't really know what the unbinding ceremony is, but I'm good. I'll have your coffee tomorrow, Luke. Black iced coffee from The Mark, before the show. I promise."

That guy with the RV situation, and the woman talking about her sister \u2014 those felt real, if that makes sense. I don't know if the numbers were better or whatever, but it felt like people were actually listening and wanted to talk. So yeah, I think today was good. I mean, except for me forgetting your coffee. But the show itself was better."
},
{
"role": "user",

I don't know what show you were listening to, because there was no guy with an RV situation or a woman talking about her sister, so obviously you're not paying attention. But I think the show went pretty well. What do you think we should do differently for tomorrow's show? Anything? Do you have any suggestions to make the show better?"
},

"role": "assistant",

I don't know, maybe we could do like a theme or something? Like if there's a topic people are actually talking about around here, we could lead with that instead of just taking whatever calls come in. Or I could pull some local news stuff and we could have like three things ready to go in case it gets slow. I noticed today there were a couple dead spots where we were just kind of waiting. But I don't know, you're the one who's been doing this. I'm just saying what I noticed, if that makes sense."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Yeah, that makes sense. We've tried some theme-related things before. The thing is, the themes around here are, do you remember what Lordsburg used to be like 50 years ago with a picture? So that doesn't really translate that well to radio. It's kind of, I don't know, we'll see what we could do. I like the idea of the local news stuff, though. So why don't you work on that? We'll think about some local news situations and see if we can make tomorrow's show even better."
},
{
"role": "assistant",
"content": "Yeah, I can do that. I'll pull some stuff tonight and have it ready before we go on. I'll look at like the town council stuff, any county news, maybe some state things that affect people here. And I'll make sure it's actually interesting, not just like... budget reports or whatever. Things people would actually want to call in about. I'll have it organized so you can just grab whatever you need. And I'll have your coffee."
