4 min
A bit escalates as Tim and Ben try to reach the unresponsive Vladislav, joking that Ben got him killed by not responding sooner, while genuinely hoping he's okay.
- Tim offers a folk song recording at half price to anyone who can prove they're currently in Ukraine during the war.
- Tim criticizes Ben for not bringing a Ukrainian contact to his attention and accuses him of coasting on the show.
- Tim speculates that a potential guest named Vladislav is probably dead and laments the lost opportunity for him to appear before being killed by Russia.
- Ben explains he forgot about Vladislav because he thought they were having a Mark on instead and didn't keep him on standby.
- Ben finds a message from Vladislav offering to connect the show with competent sources about the war in Ukraine.
- Tim and Ben attempt to call Vladislav but conclude he must be dead because he doesn't answer at 8:30 in the morning.
- Tim checks Vladislav's social media story and realizes the person may actually be alive, blaming Ben if he isn't.
- Tim follows Vladislav back and sends him a message expressing hope that he's okay and to reach back out when he can.
