This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And this is like the definition of a random sample of people.

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

This American Life
881: I Want What I Want

And he kept using as an example, he kept being like, you know, I'm an Aggie, so you know how I feel about the University of Texas.
