I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, I think it would be a bicycle itself. That's how things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.

Appreciate you supporting the show for the past decade. But now, from September 10th, 1950, here is The Horrible Hamburger.
The Adventures of the Saint, starring Vincent Price.
The Saint, based on characters created by Leslie Chalmers and known to millions from books, magazines, and motion pictures. The Robin Hood of modern crime now comes transcribed to radio, starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Vincent Price as... The Saint.
Taxi! Taxi! Among men who know locomotion best, it's Louie, three to one. Hello, Louie. Hi, Mr. Templer. Climb in. Thank you. And whither can I waft you this beautiful evening? Whither can you waft me? Louie, what's wrong? Something has to be wrong before I use a poetical type speech. No, but I... There's a law which says cab drivers can't use good English. Well, no, but I... So whither can I waft you?
Waft me to Spring Lake Road, if you please.
Spring Lake Road? I never heard of it. You got nothing better to do than go around making up new streets?
Louie, Spring Lake Road is in Westchester. Good, let it stay there. Louie, I want to go there. Why? I've been invited to dinner by some friends. The food tastes better in Westchester? No, but my friends live there. Okay. Oh, please don't sulk, Louie. Lots of people live in Westchester. Lots of people are crazy. Westchester happens to be a very lovely place. Full of trees, ain't it? The trees are attractive. To who? Apes? Hmm. I'd better tell you how to go. You don't have to tell me. I'll find it. I know, but... Listen, Mr. Templer, I'm a cab driver.
Cab drivers never get lost.
The End
Louie. Don't say it. We've just passed that oak tree on the left for the third time. So it's an active tree. I thought cab drivers never got lost. Somebody swiped all the street signs. From the trees?
What is the premise of 'The Horrible Hamburger' and who stars in it?
So I got lost. So I'll turn my badge in. So my wife will despise me. So my children will go through life ashamed of their old man.
Louie, Louie, it's 10 o'clock. My dinner invitation was for 8.30. You'll never make it. I don't doubt that, but I'm hungry. Next time you get to an eating place... Don't say any more. Right up the road. Oh, yeah, the happy hamburger. Ben Lawton proprietor. It doesn't look very happy. What has it got to look happy about? I meant the place itself.
So maybe it looks a little like if the wolf came around and huffed and puffed. You wouldn't have to strain a lung before it fell down.
But food is food. Except when it's a happy hamburger, perhaps.
Hey, it must be the wolf huffing or maybe puffing.
Here he is. Yeah, savage-looking animal. Some wolf. The poor dog looks as if he hadn't eaten for a week.
Let's get into the joint before he mistakes me for a T-bone steak.
Oh, I must have ate his feelings. Happy Hamburger's not having a busy night. What can I do for you? We'd like some dinner. Well, we're kind of closing.
