This American Life
464: Invisible Made Visible

who's promoting a new CD on Jimmy's show tomorrow night. You guys will not believe who it was. Yes, it was Taylor Day. You're good with patterns. Sarah said, I want you to come down to Jimmy's show tomorrow night. And I want you to say those exact same words that you said the other times. And I said, no question. But I didn't end up having to go to Jimmy's show the next night.

Because that same day... That Sarah called me at Kyle's house. Kyle and I took a lunch break. We ordered lunch to be picked up. We walked across the street... to the strip mall where the restaurant was. Kyle was walking in front of me. I was walking behind him. We walked up to the restaurant. He opened the door. He looked at this table. Then he looked back at me. Then he looked back at the table.

And I was like, Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course she's here. And Kyle and I walked over to the counter where our food was waiting for us, and Kyle was just pacing back and forth, about to have a stroke. And I was like, what is your problem? And he said, nothing, I'm just really uncomfortable right now. And I said, why? And he said, because I know what's about to happen. And I said, yeah.

And I can't wait to do it. I said, this has nothing to do with you. I said, this is between me and Taylor Dane. I said, but what I do need you to do, when I go up and interrupt her lunch, I want you to take my cell phone and just point it in the general vicinity and videotape me talking to Taylor Dane. Just so I finally have proof. And Kyle said, okay.

So I walked up to Taylor Dane's table and I said, excuse me. Sorry to bother you. But I just have to tell you, I love your voice. And she said, thank you. And I was like, oh, that was weird. But the best part was when Kyle and I went back and looked at that video footage. You didn't hear me talking to Taylor Dane. You just heard Kyle in an imaginary conversation going, oh, hey.

Hey man, what's going on? I'm having lunch. At the chicken cafe, at the pizza, at the California chicken kitchen pizza kitchen cafe. So the person that Kyle made up in that conversation was the world's most difficult human being that will not let the easy stuff slide. The person on the other end of that call is going, whoa, whoa, whoa, back up, dude. Where are you having lunch?

At the chicken what cafe? No, man, I've never heard of that place. This conversation is going no further until you make it clear to me where exactly you're having lunch right now. And I feel confident that I'm the reason that Taylor Dane ended up putting out another record. Because you know she called her manager and was like, my fans miss me. They love me.

I mean, sure, they're a bunch of he-she looking robots. Excuse me. Sorry to bother you. But I just have to tell you, I love your voice. Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you. But I just have to tell you, I love your, excuse me. Just as a side note, I left out other times that I ran into Taylor Dayne. Anyway, thank you.
