As we near the inevitable conclusion of You Look Nice Today, my feelings become too much to bear. And when that happens, you get poetry. What follows is my lament for one of the greatest podcasts of all time.
Where now is Tang Tang and rider, my son?
When comes the train to Dubai?
Where is…
Oh, Jimmy. Jimmy Jimmy. Thanks for this, Jimmy.

There’s no way I’m the only person that immediately pictured this while listening to the episode.
That’s right, it’s Adam in a luxurious bathtub with a copy of The Fountainhead. Listen to the new episode of You Look Nice Today to find out how YOU can get in there with him.
Works best on repeat.
It was a joyful and difficult day for everyone.

You Look Nice Today, one of my favorite podcasts, had the same thought a few years ago. The show is a free-form conversation with one consistent theme: At some point, one of the three hosts will pitch the others a business proposal for an imaginary product. In the 2009 episode, “The Good Part,” that product was a song made entirely out of the best moments from other songs —- beginning with “In the Air Tonight” and cycling through two dozen more.
Thanks a million, Daoud. You’re a gentleman, and we’re very proud to count you as a fan. High Five.
Daddy? Can I borrow the keys to the car? No, the other one. The one that smells like jazz.
YLNT listener Bill Braine transcribed Scott’s late-night wakeup story from Breakin’ In. Thanks Bill!
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night—two or three or something—and I just had one of those moments where your eyes flip open like shutters. You’re looking around, you’re utterly awake and you don’t know what to do to go back to sleep again. I walked around. I sort of had that weird nighttime paranoia: maybe I woke up because I heard a burglar and that woke me up, but I don’t remember having heard it.
So I walked around and I checked the doors and I looked out the windows. And then I realized I had turned the lights on, so that if there was a burglar they knew that I was walking around checking the doors with the lights on, looking out the windows. And then I realized that if they were standing outside they could just see me there, looking out at them. So I turned off the lights and quietly stood there—for a good five minutes—just to make sure that they thought I had gone back to sleep.
And, so, when your wife wonders where you are, and gets up, and sees you looking out the window in pitch dark, motionless—it’s hard to explain.
