First, I had a pretty meta-TFT moment, in which I went jogging to the podcast. Second, Ryan, I really thought my call out after last week was to answer the question, “Is Travis Morrison a Muppet?” The answer is of course a qualified ‘yes’ in that he is a really lovely dude in person, but has a kind of Kermit the Frog stage persona. As for the time signature, that’s not my strongest suit, but I think it might 7/8 in the verse and 4/4 in the chorus to stabilize things with some clever syncopation to make it still feel of a piece. Like I said, I am no time signature wizard though.
