An aardvark, which is not a tapir.

This week, we鈥檙e celebrating the show鈥檚 15th anniversary (which was last year, but never mind about that part).

Over those 15+ years, we鈥檝e done something north of 3,000 shows. And every one of those shows was intended, more or less, to be about some 鈥 thing. Towels or Trump or toast or television or whatever.

Note: This show features Chion Wolf鈥檚 performance of 鈥淟et鈥檚 Not Talk About Tapirs,鈥 with lyrics by Colin McEnroe and music by Chion Wolf.

If you鈥檙e able, , which conserves 鈥渂iological diversity by stimulating, developing, and executing practical programs to study, save, restore, and manage the four species of tapir and their remaining habitats in Central and South America and Southeast Asia.鈥
