Another tape and I'm not sure if the numbering is sequential because the subject matter certainly isn't. No introduction, no real context and no interviewer—just Don ranting about Bill's “topless billboard.” He claims it lost the entire top half in a storm, leaving only the bottom and needing a rebuild from a topless neighbour. There’s back and forth about whose job it is to fix it, if anyone even reads it, and whether a warning sign telling people to stay away is worth the trouble. Partway through, the recording gets interrupted by opera music coming from somewhere nearby—no apology, no comment, just loud singing over the argument. Then later, weirdly, there’s an old Dristan nasal spray ad that plays as if they’d taped over it by accident.They keep right on talking like none of that happened. By the end, they’re debating whether anyone can even measure distance in proper units when all they have is how long it takes to walk somewhere in “minutes,” and Bill is threatening to repaint the billboard himself.
