Illinois -- with Murty

In the first True New Ep of 202X, we interview the first man on the pod who has ever been to Buffalo, New York (Chris famously has never been) Murty, about his experiences moving from Beautiful Buff to Illinois Enuf. Also the beautiful album by Sufjan (we are on a first name basis) that kind of shares the name with the state if you ignore the album art and most listings, which do misspell it. I tell people I'm from Warshington doing a Goofy voice, so I get it.

Also up for discussion: The computer legitimately almost crashed rendering the 3D text that says "W/ MURTY" so we must launch a patreon, a candle from down south is smelled up north and to the west of where it ought, and Murty is shouted over so apologies to him we're so sorry.
