This episode was originally released in summer of 2015. Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score. * Then, we have the most obvious crickets/summer night song ever: the fantastic, perpetually delightful Green Arrow from Yo La Tengo’s I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, which has soundtracked many crickety summer nights for me over the years. * The cops roll in to a loop of the very beginning of the epic Ptah, the El Daoud, the title track to Alice Coltrane’s album from 1970. * Then we have a mix of two improvisations from Charles Cohen’s “Brother I Prove You Wrong”: Cloud Hands and The Boy and the Snake Dance. * There’s a brief dip into Dorian, by Fang Island. * The jaunty accordion, typewriter thing is Biking is Better on Wintergatan’s eponymous album. Notes I researched this one primarily through old newspapers. The easiest place to find a number of them is to read the excellent site, The Museum of Hoaxes’ page on this event. Also: if you’re in the Atlanta area and ever want to have yourself a day, you can see the actual monkey. It’s preserved in a jar at the Georgia Bureau of Investigations museum in Decatur Georgia.

Hey, this is Nate, and before we get started, I am very excited.
I have been waiting to do this for months.
So I have a book coming out from Random House on November 19 of this year.
It is called the Memory palace.
Interestingly enough, it has a number of classic stories from the show.
It has new stories that will only appear in the book.
There are illustrations.
There are found photographs.
There's a whole section of memoir based stories that are nothing like I've ever done before, but that also feel like the memory palace.
Very proud of them.
And if you like the show, I think you're gonna like this book.
And if you are one of those people who wanted to share the show with other people in your life who just aren't podcast listeners, this is your chance.
It's gonna be out just in time for the holiday season.
But if you want to help me out, me, Nate DiMeo real life person, if you wanna support the show and help new audiences find it, if you wanna.
And this sounds corny, I know, but if you wanna help me live out dreams that I've had forever to be a person who gets to write more books, then I'm gonna ask you right now to pre order this book.
Pre order the memory palace by Nate DiMeo right now.
