I vaguely remember Mr. Hanks was an old typewriter collector. I think he was on a podcast and they enticed him to be on an episode by offering him an old typewriter they had come across. I’d go look it up, but I’m honestly not that interested. Sorry if anons already knew this.
And they’re really heavy. I agree that it’s odd. I wasn’t trying to derail a dig, just pointing out something I remembered and then explaining why I wasn’t providing sauce. Thanks anon.
