Transcript

[Luke Burbank]

Today I was babysitting and one of the kids said, what's on your shirt? And I said, that's a big dog. The most powerful American figure from the mid-80s to the late 90s, the influence of which you'll never see matched in your lifetime. Not a chance. Now watch out, because it's time to party.

[Andrew Walsh]

I am brave.

[Luke Burbank]

Roller coasters.

[Andrew Walsh]

Love em. Scary movies.

[Luke Burbank]

I've seen Ghostbusters like seven times. I regularly drive through neighborhoods that have only recently been gentrified. So, yeah, I'm pretty much not afraid of anything.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yo, yo, yo.

[Luke Burbank]

I've only ever said I love you to two men my entire life. Stone cold Steve Austin and a guy in a dark club who I mistook for stone cold Steve Austin. Make sure your bathroom really has got a toilet that's way too high and kind of big. Also, two plungers. Two plungers says it all. No, you're.

[Andrew Walsh]

You're going to tell a story. I don't believe that I can bear to listen to another one of your stories right now.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, all right. Hello, good morning and welcome everyone to a Thursday edition of TBT all, the show that just might be too beautiful to live. I'll say.

[Andrew Walsh]

What's up, doak?

[Luke Burbank]

My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host. Everybody wants to be the beast. They don't want to do what the beast do. Coming to you from the Madrona Hill studio perched high above the mighty Columbia, where kind of a mixed bag today. It was going to rain, supposedly, but it is not raining right now. So we're going to call that a w. As we have landed on episode 4472 in a collector series.

[Andrew Walsh]

Let the fun begin.

[Luke Burbank]

We've got a couple of sports adjacent topics for you today in the top stories. I mean, I figured he had to be in sport, but he wasn't in sport. But as always. Is it as always, as is sometimes the case, these are not stories that you have to care about sports to care about. You have to care about good journalism and you have to be able to identify very bad journalism. I'd like to point out to anybody watching this is really bunk journalism. That's one of the stories. And then also you have to be curious about novel legal strategies for suing a major league baseball team when you get hit by a foul ball. Is it legal to be this insane? Those are the two sports adjacent stories to today. I don't know if birthdays are considered sports adjacent, but it is a Thursday, AKA blurs day. So we'll do those Today. And we're gonna talk to this guy, the longest running cobro of the show, maybe best known for his depictions of the tall ships. This is an actual recording of him as we were sound checking.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, things are hard.

[Luke Burbank]

He's Andrew Walsh and he's joining right now. Good morning, my friend.

[Andrew Walsh]

Good morning, Luke. I was just hairy.

[Luke Burbank]

Say that almost verbatim.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, I mean, I definitely have that attitude coming in today, which is weird. Today is a day of celebration. Today is a day of joy for this Andrew Walsh because he does, for the first time in six years, have a new right out of the box smartphone. They call them smartphones, Luke. They do.

[Luke Burbank]

How smart is that?

[Andrew Walsh]

Jalapeno. Jalapeno. Jalapeno.

[Luke Burbank]

What do you. What are you working with there, sir?

[Andrew Walsh]

Packed a Galaxy S25.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, you went all the way to 25.

[Andrew Walsh]

This one goes to 25. I said, why don't you just make 24 louder? And he says, this one goes to 25. So thank you for all the feedback that the listeners sent me as I was trying to decide between the Samsung and the Pixel. Seems like for the most part it's kind of a draw. I did a lot of reading about these two phones. They seem to be the kind of go to phones for people in my.

[Luke Burbank]

For people that don't want me to be able to edit my texts.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, sure.

[Luke Burbank]

It's all about industry standard for people.

[Andrew Walsh]

I went into T Mobile and I said, it's my.

[Luke Burbank]

They want to see all my typos.

[Andrew Walsh]

He can't. He can't edit texts to me. How can I solve this problem?

[Luke Burbank]

I don't care what it costs. I need a phone. I don't care what makes what. Please stop. Please stop.

[Andrew Walsh]

But so anyway, I went with a. I've been using a Galaxy product for the past, like probably five phones or something. So it seemed to makes sense to stay in that universe.

[Luke Burbank]

Fancy, by the way, I'm getting eyes on it right now.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, it's not bad, right? And here are the things though about new phones is I swear I did this like the last time I got a phone too. I thought like, all right, I'm going to get this new phone and then it's going to sync with my old one and it's going to move over apps and passwords and relevant stuff. They've made that like, you know, more and more seamless, I would say. But the thing also about getting a new phone, especially if you're like me and I'm guessing if you're like Your father, you like to take this opportunity to clean things up a little bit? Oh, I downloaded a United app one time because I had to take one leg of a flight. Was on United. I don't need that app on here anymore. God knows what other garbage was on. There's housekeeping. Clean it up. And so I always think I'm gonna get this phone on a day where I can just like kind of sit on the couch and just like tinker away with it for a while, get it all set up, but then it just somehow never happens that way. And I kind of had a busy day yesterday and. But I also was having some issues with my old phone. I'm like, just go right now. There's like less than a mile from here. There is a T mobile store. Go in there, you know what phone you want to buy. It's going to be put on your monthly bill. This should be a very easy task. Just go get this thing. And so I did that. First of all, I don't know if it's people scared of tariffs or what, but there were three employees in there and I waited on a chair for about a half hour before anybody could even see me. These are people who are selling me stuff. And by the way, good service. I'm not complaining. I just mean that like they were so. They were so busy, everybody's buying their new phones and. And then once I got it, I'm like, okay, don't get too, don't get too, don't drill down too much. You have to go meet some people. Whatever. I had stuff to do. But then like every little task that I do on my new phone is just like a little bit harder right now because it's like most of the past.

[Luke Burbank]

Is it a different operating system than you had before?

[Andrew Walsh]

It's it. I mean, again, my complaints here are not even probably worth airing because again, the transfer of one to another is pretty remarkable. Honestly, if you've come up the way we've come up with like none of this technology and to see all this stuff transfer pretty seamlessly.

[Luke Burbank]

My Palm Pilot could never do this.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes, exactly. I used to tap my Palm Pilot with other people. It was pretty promiscuous. But actually I didn't have a Palm Pilot. I had a. Of course I had something else. It was like a Dell.

[Luke Burbank]

I also couldn't edit my Palm Pilot text to you as you insisted on having some weird ass device.

[Andrew Walsh]

That was my first introduction. My first introduction to Bluetooth too was my friend Catherine was like, we can tap our Palm Pilots and share information. I'm like, boy, Bluetooth is fascinating. I don't know why I needed to share my information with her. She was one of my only friends at the time. All of that is to say it's just like after this phone is up and running, it still takes about an hour to like sort of transfer a bunch of things and then you're going to use apps. It's kind of like, oh, I don't have the password for that one. Or just now I went to type.

[Luke Burbank]

I want to type a text because it's not remembering. It didn't transfer all of the passwords.

[Andrew Walsh]

For the most part it was smooth, but there's just a few things here and there. Or you have to go hunting for an app. But because I've complained about this before, like, you know, the garbage app in Seattle is not called the Seattle garbage app. It's called recycle it, exclamation point for some reason. So you have to be like, wait, what is the name of that app I'm looking for? It's not intuitive. It's under R for recycle it. Like, anyway, it's just like all these little. It's almost like I'm right handed. As you know, Luke, I bring it up on every show.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

But it's almost like for a day you have to write with your left hand and you know you're going to get used to it or you're going to start to write with your right hand again tomorrow or something. But it's just like you can get through the day. But it's just like all these little tiny things I keep on. Oh, shoot, I don't have a password for this thing. That means I need to go into my main password manager. But what is the, what is the password for the password manager? And then like, oh, I had it off by like literally one piece of punctuation in my passcode. And it was just like, then I got, got locked out and like, it was just like I kind of kept stumbling up against all these little things today. But again, it is a joyous day. I am glad to have this baby. I've been dealing with things that I didn't even want to tell you about because it's so backwards. Like, I, I have not been able to send text messages via wi fi for years now. Like, so in other words, if I'm up in an airplane and one of those great metal birds in the sky and I don't have cell service, that should be okay. You can still text if you have WI fi on the plane. But for some reason my phone has been jacked up and I've. I've gone down, as you would guess, I went down many troubleshooting rabbit holes on this and I just could not figure it out. And so like, that's a pretty. That's a pretty big missing function. The inability to. In modern life and WI fi. Exactly. So I think that there are going to be a lot of little things I'm reminded of with this new phone that I'm going to be like, oh, I'm a whole boy again.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah. I actually am very interested to see how this plays out because again, I'm not trying to other you, but I will admit that I do in the back of my mind think when I tried. So for instance, I was, I told you that I was watching the Mariners game on the flight the other day, flight home. And so I was texting the criminals, trying to text the criminals about it. And sometimes when I'm on a plane and I try to text the criminals, my texts do not go through. But then I was also texting my mom and David and Sam and it was going through fine. And I in my mind think it has to do with maybe not just you, but folks on the text chain who aren't on whatever. Whatever it is that Apple is iOS is using for texting. I don't have any evidence of this, but I just assume it's some kind of a connectivity issue between what the system is that I'm on and some person or persons on the criminals text chain who's not on that same system. Because at the same time I'm texting three people who are on iPhones and it's working fine. So that is my theory. Now, I guess this hasn't really changed fundamentally because you're still not on an iPhone, but it'll be curious to see if I have better luck texting you and the group sometimes with now you're on your fancy new phone.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, I will say this, and I don't want to get defensive about this.

[Luke Burbank]

But when I only because I've insulted you four times. There have been so far in the first 12 minutes of the show.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's funny a long time, like, I don't know, maybe six months ago, like on the wordle chain, we actually got a little heated between some iPhone people and some Android people. Me and V are Android people because I really feel like iPhone people are freaking obsessed with Android people. And I just never think about your operating system. Everything works fine for Me and one of the reasons why Apple, like, it's easy for all these people who use iPhones to blame us and like you said jokingly, other us, but it's not our fault and it's not our technology's fault. It's Apple's fault because Apple has everything proprietary and they want to force everybody into their world. We don't have these issues.

[Luke Burbank]

This is also how you feel about vaccines, right?

[Andrew Walsh]

This is how I feel about as.

[Luke Burbank]

Long as the rest of us are vaccinated. You don't have to be on the system we're on.

[Andrew Walsh]

I don't.

[Luke Burbank]

You can just. You're going to be fine.

[Andrew Walsh]

Like, Apple could make changes to make their stuff integrate more with the rest of the world. And again, more people in the world use non iPhones than iPhones. But it's in. So. But what happens is because so many people do use iPhones, those of you who use it are like, oh, you're ruining my experience because you're not an iPhone. It's like, well, no, I just didn't buy the same shit you guys bought. And it's your company that's putting up all the walls in most cases. And so. But it is just sort of weird. Like, I just feel like because of those limitations with iPhones to talk to other phones, there's this sort of obsession that iPhone people have. They just can't like kind of get like, you Android people are so weird. And it's like very true that I just never think about what other people's operating system because it doesn't affect me.

[Luke Burbank]

So in other words, you. There is no, I'm legitimately asking a question here. There's no, kind of like, there's nothing that when your phone is trying to talk to say my phone via, I don't know, text or otherwise, there's nothing that your phone kind of can't do with iPhones that you never get like a bounce back. And it's because these phones aren't talking to each other properly. We're the ones getting the bounce back, us iPhone people.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Now if you're getting bounce backs on me, it might have been because my phone was old. I was having some text issues there. I told you a couple of days ago. So I'm not trying to say that that's it, but I don't, I don't. I think it's because my phone was old and malfunctioning. If that was the case, I don't really know what you're talking about on your side of Things, but I just have never been like, oh, shoot, this. This text chain seems janky to me because iPhone people are on. It is just not part of my experience at all. It's just like, oh, and they did make a change. Remember, they made a change. Maybe this was around the time we started fighting in the. In the. In the world group without.

[Luke Burbank]

Without putting anyone on blast. Can you. Can you. Can you kind of relate how it got a little bit on the testy side?

[Andrew Walsh]

Well, it's basically somebody, because I think Veeves and I are the only people probably with non iPhones on that. And I think somebody. I don't remember what it was, but somebody in the text was kind of like, oh, can't do this because of the Android people. And I was like, God. And I think I said basically what I just said to you. I'm just like, you guys are obsessed with our phones. Like, we live our life totally fine and everything works fine. It's like the problem is on your end, dudes. And then it kind of like. Then everybody started freaking out. When I say freaking out, I mean, it's a wordle chain. It was. It was. It was pretty calm. By the way, I didn't tell you this. More big news in my life. I. About five, about six nights ago, I was telling Veeves I am within striking distance of matching my record streak on wordle. And as soon as I started saying that, I knew I was jinxing it. I think my longest streak, which is not impressive by a lot of people's streaks these days, but 182 consecutive days of completing the puzzle, Solving it. Of solving it. And 182 is my high water mark. And I think it was. Do you remember the word that busted me out a long time ago? Corer.

[Luke Burbank]

Remember a lot of people?

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly. I'll always remember the great core massacre of 2024. But I was finally crawling my way back, and I was up into the 150s, and I was like, I'm kind of like within striking distance. I remember saying to Viv, I'm like, I am jinxing myself, Luke. Literally the next day, they had a word that a lot of people busted out on, and I did as well. That word, my friend, was eager.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, okay.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's a tough.

[Luke Burbank]

How much of it did you get?

[Andrew Walsh]

I can't recall, but I don't think it occurred to me because I already had an A placed and the second E placed somewhere. And so it was one of those things where you're looking like Seder, like you're Assuming it's going to be a consonant, a vowel. A consonant, a vowel, and then maybe an R. But I probably had the R there. It didn't occur to me that I could start with ea. Like, of everything I was trying, I wasn't thinking, oh, this could start with an ea. Double vowel there. And so a lot of people busted out, but the only one I care about is me. And I. I actually stopped playing for a couple of days. Not. Not like I felt like they had wronged me in any way. Eager is a very legitimate word. But I was.

[Luke Burbank]

You feel like eager is. Is is a better word than corer was being intentionally cruel. Right.

[Andrew Walsh]

I mean, it's a word like they're allowed. They're puzzle makers. It's a word and they're puzzle makers and they're trying to trick us. Like that's. That's the game. I can't be too mad at it. But horror and, you know, I heard from listeners who are like, well, you don't bake as much. I use an apple corer all the time, so it wasn't weird to me. I'm like, all right. I mean, that's fine. Okay. But eager is a very.

[Luke Burbank]

You don't work in mining.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes. Well, honestly, as a Minecraft, you kind of do, Right? Yes, exactly. I haven't done that in a while. But yeah, eager is just like, it's such a common. Totally fair. You can't have any. Even some people had issues with things like email. Right. Is email a hyphenated word? Is it technically a word? Is it electronic mail or whatever? I don't think, you know there's a D mail. Is it? Is it a D mail? Where are all the D mails going? I guess to heaven somewhere. Well, maybe not, but anyway. Yeah. So eager is. I crashed upon the rocks of eager a few days ago and I couldn't get back into the. I couldn't get back in the game. I hurt too much, Luke. I was in a little period of mourning. But I'm back on it now. I think I've got a three day streak going.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm getting back into the game. Andrew of bike riding, do you see what's behind me?

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah. I see a bicycle wheel.

[Luke Burbank]

Do you see what's not up on its weird elevated storage hook rack, if you will.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's the only way you get the bike to talk. Put it up on the rack. Sorry.

[Luke Burbank]

It's like the Princess Bride. They hook it up to that weird machine with the bellows on it and the water Flowing through it.

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly. To the pain.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm very excited because what has happened today is I am home, it is not raining, and I have a late afternoon that is as of right now, somewhat under scheduled. And I am going to get on that bad boy and I am going to. And the Mariners don't start until 5. Big series, by the way. Big series. But I'm gonna get on that bike and I'm gonna go ride around. And I don't even have a destination in mind. I'm just gonna see where the wind takes me and I'm very excited about this.

[Andrew Walsh]

One quick thing. I sort of zoned out there for a second.

[Luke Burbank]

I thought during that. Long story.

[Andrew Walsh]

No, no, I just. When you said the baseball game, for some reason I got distracted because I thought they were not playing today, but I guess they are. I thought the series started tomorrow, so. Good contribution. But yes, this starts today.

[Luke Burbank]

By the way. I had a bike related incident on shoot in, in Colorado on Tuesday where I got. I got a little more touchy than I normally do with, with the crew because I was. We were filming with this guy who's kind of like a personal finance guru in, in Colorado. And oftentimes with this stuff, they want us to go out and kind of like do something in real life that this person likes to do. And this guy, his name is Peter Adeney and he really likes mountain biking. It's Colorado. I think they give you a mountain.

[Andrew Walsh]

Bike when you cross the state.

[Luke Burbank]

When you cross state lines, they give you a mountain bike. And when you're leaving, they chip your windshield and create major trauma for the rest of your drive home. And so anyway, we went mountain biking with this guy and. Which was fun, although I have to say, like, we were on a very, very like beginner kind of little mountain bike trail and. And he was just zooming along and we weren't filming yet. We were just kind of killing time while they were getting the camera set up. And I think of myself as fairly okay on a bicycle. As a kid, I biked everywhere, but like, I literally almost went into a river. And he's just zooming along. He's jumping over these like, roots. And there's this one part where the, the path we're on, the bike path is. It's the width of a single bicycle tire. And then there's the river, the Saint Vrain river or whatever creek, and he's just like bunny hopping over it. And like, maybe given some time and practice, I could have done it. But like, I'm just following him along blithely. And then I realize, oh, I'm about to go in the river.

[Andrew Walsh]

But that was pretty great, though. Would they leave that in. I'm not joking. If you fall in the river.

[Luke Burbank]

I would hope they would. I would hope they would. They weren't filming yet, although they did have a GoPro set up on me on the bike. So maybe they could have. Maybe they could have used that footage. It definitely didn't feel like my most cool, suave moment, but I would have put it in if it was interesting.

[Andrew Walsh]

Here was the issue. Weren't they filming you yet? You were just.

[Luke Burbank]

They were not over. They were. They had. They had various cameras. They had a drone, and then they had a camera on sticks, we call it, you know, on the tripod. And they were bringing over the big camera on the tripod, so they weren't filming us. Me and the guy were just killing time. We were just doing a little loop on these mountain bikes with not being filmed yet, because the crew had not. The crew had to carry the gear from where we were parked to where we were on the bikes.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay. And so instead of just sitting around and talking, you guys were just kind of, like, kind of screwing around a little bit. Like, let's just kind of get going.

[Luke Burbank]

Let's get going. Because, like, you know, we're just basically two adult children who have bikes, and there's a path. So what are we going to do in the 15 minutes we're waiting for the crew as we're going to sort of ride around. Around. But this was where things got touchy. The. The. The camera guy, who was really nice, very thorough, Very thorough guy wanted to have. So we had these, just two mountain bikes. Again, they have a drone. They're going to be flying. They also have a large camera that's on a tripod, and they have a GoPro on our handlebars. That's looking up at us, by the way. Not the most flattering angle.

[Andrew Walsh]

Say you love that angle. Love it.

[Luke Burbank]

We love it. But then they wanted to put a.

[Andrew Walsh]

Strap of a helmet. Are you wearing a helmet, too? Oh.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh. That's where the story. That's where the story gets good. Andrew. Now, I was happy to wear a helmet, okay. Because we talked about this a while ago. And you can see on my bike, I've got my. I don't know if you can, but I've got my helmet. I'm a helmet guy now. But. So I didn't have a problem wearing the helmet. But this was the thing. Again, they have a GoPro pointing up at us. They have a drone flying. They have another huge camera on tripods. They wanted to also put a GoPro facing out from my bike so you could see the perspective of my bike. Can I mention, Andrew, this entire thing, the entire interview will be 30 seconds in the story.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Right.

[Luke Burbank]

Not even mentioning bike riding.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Like. And so they want to set up this camera on my bike to show the perspective of my bike. Also what it sees, which is probably.

[Andrew Walsh]

Him in front of you, I guess, too. Right. It's a rear shot.

[Luke Burbank]

We were kind of riding side by side, so it was more just. I guess it was going to be the. This bike trail we were on. But the thing was, they didn't have the right kind of like. Like attachment. They didn't have the right kind of little thing to attach it to the.

[Andrew Walsh]

Bike, like a mount.

[Luke Burbank]

They didn't have the right kind of mount for the bike. So then what they decided was this all happened before I got there. They decided what they were going to do is put the GoPro on my helmet. So imagine, by the way, I have a picture of this, which I will. I'm working on killing my ego, Andrew, and this will really help me. I'm going to send you this picture. It could be a good show. Pick what you see on this man's face. And I'm. The man in this story is a guy who is deeply unhappy with the fact that he is going to be on national television riding around with a GoPro on his helmet. Like, again, I think helmets save lives and I think we should all wear them if we're biking or motorcycling or anything. I believe in helmets. Now, this is a recent conversion. I have the zeal of the recently converted I'm pro helmet. I'm not pro there being a GoPro. I'm pro helmet, but I'm not GoPro on the helmet. Pro. If that makes sense.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Although it could be. I mean, a lot of badasses do have that. Like when you. I don't.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, when you see this, a lot of Andrew, you'll love.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's pretty janky.

[Luke Burbank]

You'll see how unbadass it is. Like. But what happened was they had already attached it to. Sorry. I'm also scrolling back in my photos to try to find this thing and send it to you. They. They had already attached it. So dumb. It also was causing the helmet to tilt forward because it was. The weight of the helmet is very carefully calibrated. You know, I mean, they. They do a Lot of design on these things. They don't design them to have a big camera like. Like a unicorn's horn low mounted on the front of it.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, I was going to ask you about that. It feels like that could get uncomfortable, too. Like, I. Like if you move your head a little bit, like, you kind of. It's going to really affect, like, how you move your own head.

[Luke Burbank]

Yes. But they had already loaded it, and to be honest with you, I was kind of late. I'm sending you this photo right now. I was. I wanted to get the shoot done because I needed to jump in a car and get to the airport to get to my flight. So I was trying to be friendly and low maintenance and kind of go with the flow. And so I. They. They give me the helmet and I put it on, and I'm just doing some laps in the parking lot, and I'm realizing, like, this kind of makes the helmet not fit particularly well. It wants to slide forward. It looks really silly. And my real thought was, there is no universe in which we're going to use this footage. We do not need the footage of my helmet. What my helmet is seeing for this. Again, less than five seconds of footage that will be in the. In the thing. And I just had this moment of kind of. Like, I had this moment of kind of. I don't know what you want to call it. Being a diva maybe, is what you call it. I just kind of said, hey, I tried to blame it on the fact that it made the helmet not fit properly. It made the helmet want to slide forward. I said, hey, you know, with the GoPro on here, it kind of makes the helmet want to slide forward. And so the camera guy was like, oh, okay. And then the producer was like, well, maybe we can put it on the bike. And he was like, well, no, I can't put it on the bike. That's why it's on the helmet. And then I said, well, maybe we can find some other way, but we need to take it off the helmet. And the sound guy, who was a lot. What I've learned is sound guys are a lot sometimes, not always. But if there is a. If there is a If. If there's a wild card on the shoot, it's the sound guy.

[Andrew Walsh]

For some reason, that kind of scans. Yeah, I feel like. Like I remember being a very. Like a young person, like, helping my friends in bands at clubs sort of. It was always like, yes, you got to deal with this.

[Luke Burbank]

The sound guys. Yeah, sound. It's an interesting. It's an interesting kind of personality type. I told you on a recent shoot. A sound guy who I work with a lot of. We're filming and he's sitting in a. Like a Lazy Boy, just barely out of the shot, like spinning. Oh, I don't think a 60 year old man. I want to point out he's spinning in the chair just out of the frame, but so I can see him. And he's watching YouTube on his phone. And he has the volume up on his phone. And I go, john, we can hear your phone. This is the sound guy, Andrew.

[Andrew Walsh]

What?

[Luke Burbank]

That's not the same guy. Not the same guy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay. Yeah. But that really surprises me because when I think about a sound person who's maybe going to be a little bit hard to work with, it's because. It's because they're gonna be super particular in the same way. It sounds like your videographers here are. And I'm sort of like, by the way, I don't think this looks as bad as you think, but I think that's because I see. And I don't know why I see this stuff. I think it makes it sound like I go to the gym more than I do. But, like, when I'm at the gym and I'm on my StairMaster Y thing or whatever and I'm just staring at one of the TVs they have on. They always have on some sort of like, mountain biking show. And it's always these people, like, you know, mountain biking at the edge of cliffs and. And hopping a little, and they have these things on their helmets. That's why I sort of thought, like, in a certain way you could. Somebody could look at you and be like, wow, look at this. Like, professional mountain biker with a.

[Luke Burbank]

If I was doing a cooler thing, I could totally. I know exactly what you're talking about. Like, there is a level of GoPro on your helmet that means you're sponsored by Red Bull.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes, indeed I was.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm sponsored by Oval Team. Like, I'm going very slowly and trying to not fall in the river so that the camera mount on the helmet looks a little silly.

[Andrew Walsh]

Sponsored by Werther's Originals.

[Luke Burbank]

Is this extreme enough for you, grandpa?

[Andrew Walsh]

Joining us now on the Werther's original hot couch.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, you know what? We don't sit on that couch. That's just for company. The thing about being on the Werther's original hot couch is you're not allowed to sit on it. It's covered in plastic.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's covered in.

[Luke Burbank]

So Sound guys can be. Now, this sound guy, I have to say, he was. He was not the guy that would be watching YouTube videos. He was the opposite. I know, right?

[Andrew Walsh]

He was.

[Luke Burbank]

This guy was very, very professional. He was very. He was very serious about his work, which I appreciated. You know, I'd much rather that than the. The alternative. But he goes. I go, yeah, this isn't fitting right. And he goes, well, did you do the. Did you do the thing in back? Because these fancy helmets have, like, a rear adjustment as well, which I do. I didn't know about, but I lied. I said, yeah, yeah, I tried that. And then I was like, yeah, it's just not fitting. And then. And then the producer, to his credit, was kind of like, yeah, I don't think Luke's really super stoked about the GoPro. We don't probably need it. So we're going to take. We. It's agreed. We're going to take the GoPro off the helmet. We have enough documentation of this. But I look over and I see the sound guy is putting the helmet on himself and trying to mess with this little dial in back, which kind of affects the. I don't know if it's the pitch or the yaw of the helmet, but it's like the front to backness of the helmet. And he's doing something. And I just said, hey, Drew, I want to save you a minute. If what you're trying to do is adjust for this helmet so that it will continue to have a GoPro on it, I'm just going to stop you right there.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm going to stop you right there.

[Luke Burbank]

And he laughs. We all kind of laugh. And it was, like, understood that we're not going to have the GoPro on there. But it was like, I don't usually do that, but I just knew what exactly what was happening was. He was trying to solve. And to his credit, it. I had. I had blamed it on something which was the helmet doesn't fit correctly. So he was trying to fix that. But what I was really trying to say was, I don't want this thing on the helmet when I'm riding my bike. And we took it off and everything was fine, but that was. That's a little. And I didn't say it rudely. I kind of made it a joke, but it was me being very. Putting my foot down. Like, I just want to let you know, I'm not riding the bike with the GoPro on the helmet. Please.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nobody ever ingratiates themselves to somebody by saying, I'm going to stop you right there. There was.

[Luke Burbank]

I don't know if I use that exact term in my. In my mil fence, but I said something very close to it. Whatever it was.

[Andrew Walsh]

I said, do you remember the heyday of podcasting, Luke? I'm going to put it about maybe 10 years ago or something, back when TBT was top. Yes. But there was a show that was a fictionalized story or a fiction story that was, I believe, produced by Gimlet. And was it called Homecoming? I want to say. And it had.

[Luke Burbank]

Yes. Like, yes.

[Andrew Walsh]

It was Cast of All Stars. Right. And David Schwimmer was one of the characters.

[Luke Burbank]

Ross from Friends.

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly. I was gonna say, will they, Won't they? That's not what they say. I don't know Friends culture at all.

[Luke Burbank]

I kind of don't either. I wish I could.

[Andrew Walsh]

Rachel, is that the joke that I was supposed to make there? I don't know.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, yeah, I think. I think they're brother and sister. No, no, they're. They're not brother. Somebody is just.

[Andrew Walsh]

Absolutely.

[Luke Burbank]

Somebody has ridden their mountain bike right into the Saint Vrain River. I'm so not helpful on this topic because I actually watched Friends when it was in its first. You know, for a while, I watched it for, like, the first couple seasons because it was on Thursday night on NBC, but then I didn't, like, go deep with the show.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, I'm blanking on. I can picture the main actor. I'm looking for her. Oh, Kathryn Keener was the main actor.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, shit.

[Andrew Walsh]

But David Schwimmer also played a character. Boy, this is such a. I can't believe I'm even bringing this up.

[Luke Burbank]

So Ross and Rachel are not siblings. They're romantic. Ross's sister is Courtney Cox.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay, that makes sense. In real life. In real life.

[Luke Burbank]

In real life. But not in the show.

[Andrew Walsh]

But not in the show. Schwimmer's character was this, like, really repulsive sort of character who was just, like. Would always, like, sort of like, I guess, sort of mansplain. And he was usually, if not always, presented on the show via phone conversation. So he was always on kind of a crackly phone or whatever and. Or that. That classic phone sound. But he'd always say, I'm gonna stop you right there. He kept, like, interrupting Catherine Keener, and he would just keep. Keep saying, I'm gonna stop you right there. And he's supposed to be detestable, and. And, boy, is he detestable. First of all, I never had really much of an opinion about him as an actor one way or another. But I swear, listening to one season of that podcast and listening, I should reiterate to one season of that podcast gave me a really bad. I think he was in that and I think he played somebody not very likable in the O.J. simpson kind of soap opera around the same time.

[Luke Burbank]

Wasn't he like, was he Robert Kardashian?

[Andrew Walsh]

He might have played Kardashian. Yes, I think he did play Kardashian. Maybe I'm wrong about how he was portrayed in that because I honestly don't remember, but I just remember being like this, man. You want to talk about losing ego? He was just kind of like, I think people are just going to hate me for a while if I take these roles. I cannot hear the words. I'm going to stop you right there. Without just picturing David Schwimmer and having like a. Just a repulsed reaction.

[Luke Burbank]

Andrew, I'm going to stop you right there because we should probably thank the dazzling donors. Also, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

[Andrew Walsh]

I can't see this photo. It says you tried to send it from an iPhone.

[Luke Burbank]

Welcome to my world. We was hoping for some razzle dazzle. Razzle dazzle. That's right, man. Razzle dazzle. On your mark. On your mark. Get set, get set now. Ready, ready, go. Everybody. Razzle dazzle. All right, let's thank some dazzling donors. These folks are donating a dazzling amount of dough and it is how we are able to do tbtl. Hundred percent listener supported. By the way, we're having high level executive level meetings with the business boys TBTB about the upcoming thon and it's gonna be. It's gonna be fun.

[Andrew Walsh]

It is.

[Luke Burbank]

It's gonna be an adventure. It's gonna be. It's gonna be something. I can't wait to tell you all about it when we get a little closer to the event. But in the meantime, we've got to thank Susan Thaler of Shrub Oak, New York.

[Andrew Walsh]

Susan.

[Luke Burbank]

Susan has listened to manyathon and donated many a time and it is so meaningful to us. Susan, we really appreciate you and the whole family. Susan says, hiya, friendos. Things are hard. TBTL helps. I see Susan has already listened to the show somehow.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, shit. Things are hard.

[Luke Burbank]

I don't know how you knew that. Susan. Susan, Luke and Andrew bring moments of brightness to those days when we could all really use a Win Giamatti voice. I added that I'm so grateful for all of my 10 friends and family. Shout out to Ruby, of course. Susan is Ruby's mom. What a joy to meet some of you, including Susie B in Philly. Oh, my gosh. You know, my mom is sober, but she's still high from the attention that she got at the Philly after party. I mean, my mom was in her absolute glory that night. So thanks to everybody who made my mom feel so special there. As in past years, I will use this opportunity to promote my 11's small business, Moonlight Marine. Dan builds beautiful wooden kayaks, canoes, and stand up paddle boards. And he does repairs on all kinds of personal watercraft, not just wooden ones. If you started building a boat and you need help finishing it, he can do that too. He's an amazing artist and craftsman. So check him out. It's Moonlight Marine. Moonlight Marine.net. i also have a kind of a wacky request. Could you play Andrew?

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, I don't have any audio ready. I didn't read ahead. Okay, what are we looking at?

[Luke Burbank]

Can you play the Doctor Doctor song that sometimes shows up on after these messages?

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Do you know that you know about this?

[Luke Burbank]

I know you've put. You've put your evil inside me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

With this, this thing came.

[Andrew Walsh]

This came off of like some sort of, like a kids. Some sort of weird kids cartoon video.

[Luke Burbank]

That was one minute very discomforting.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, it is very discomfor. And I've heard it a hundred times and I can never quite remember or tell what they're singing. And so I'll just give you the context you have under.

[Luke Burbank]

Recycle it. Dr. Doctor.

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly. It's not online anymore. So this is a. This is something. I understand why Susan wants to hear this.

[Luke Burbank]

You're not making this anymore.

[Andrew Walsh]

It's a rarity. So I grabbed this one time, I think on the fly because Genevieve was like talking about why a commercial. She's like, I can fix this commercial if you wrote this line differently or whatever. And I said, oh, you're like doctoring that commercial. You're fixing that commercial. So whenever Genevieve finds herself sort of doing that absentmindedly, like, well, it would be better if this. I like to surprise her with a little bit of doctor, Doctor, Doctor, Doctor. What should I do?

[Luke Burbank]

Tell me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Doctor, Doctor, what should I do? What should I do? What should I do? My doll is easel. She has high fever.

[Luke Burbank]

What should I do? What should I do?

[Andrew Walsh]

That's about.

[Luke Burbank]

Usually I understand why the Internet took this down, to be honest. And there's a lot of. There's a lot of hardcore things on the Internet that Are that. Are that are allowed to be there. But I understand why this was a priority to Shadow Ban.

[Andrew Walsh]

It does seem wrong somehow.

[Luke Burbank]

Yes. Ruby. Excuse me, Susan, Ruby's mother. And they are different people. I want to be very clear about that. They are related on the show, but not in real life. Susan says, I can't explain why, but that song fills me with delight every time I hear it. And I have to sing along. Any tens who don't listen to after these messages are in for a treat or maybe just a. What the hell is that?

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. I can never remember what she's actually saying. My dolly say something about hay fever. She has high fever.

[Luke Burbank]

High fever.

[Andrew Walsh]

But my dolly is something. And Genevieve always has to explain it to me because I could listen to it a million times and still never quite. There's something about the way the consonants are arranged that I just can never hear what she's saying.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, it reminds me. I won't play it now because we got to get to our next donor and also get to our top stories, but for some reason, my TikTok feed has been delivering me these SNL sketches, which involve oftentimes involve Bill Hader and. And, oh, my gosh, I'm forgetting the name of our very favorite Saturday Night Live and Portlandia cast member.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, Fred Armisen.

[Luke Burbank]

Fred Armisen. Oof. That's a. That one hurts you.

[Andrew Walsh]

You just. Even having that, though, fills me with panic. You know what I mean? Like, and then I was like, whatever he says. Like, I don't know if I'm gonna be able to come up with it now.

[Luke Burbank]

Luckily, usually one of our brains is working. Never both, but at least one.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Fred Armisen and Bill Hader will do these different sketches where they're basically like. It's either the Danish. It's like the Danish production of a Frank Sinatra play called I Did It By My Rules, where they get everything slightly wrong. And there's another one where it's like a crime. It's like a ny. It's like a crime procedural, but it's an American crime procedural, but it's starring people from, like, either Denmark or Finland, and they're trying to be super American, but they get everything just a little bit wrong.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's exactly what.

[Luke Burbank]

And that's kind of what that song reminds me of. I may play that for you on a day that we have a little bit more time. Also, this is forgetting Fred Armisen means I'm going to need to step away from the show for a couple of weeks and really reflect. I Need to spend some time with my family, listening and really reflecting on what's going on. The hell is going on in my brain because that. That one hurt. Okay, Susan, thank you for the support. We really appreciate you. Maestro. Doctor, Doctor, Tell me I need a doctor to fix my brain right now. Please.

[Andrew Walsh]

Just. What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? My doll. Isil. She has eye fever.

[Luke Burbank]

My doctor.

[Andrew Walsh]

My doll is ill. She has high fever, is ill. I think that's what's happening.

[Luke Burbank]

I thought she was establishing the pronouns of the doll. My doll is a. She has high fever.

[Andrew Walsh]

I don't know if we're doing Robin a dirty here.

[Luke Burbank]

Robin Degrassi.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, this was Susan's request, but Robin is reaping.

[Luke Burbank]

I am guessing that Robin and Susan probably have crossed paths at some point, whether virtually or irl. And there's probably a lot of love there. And I bet you Robin is cool with this. Robin Degrassi James is in Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

[Andrew Walsh]

Wheat Ridge. I don't know if it's Wheat Ridge.

[Luke Burbank]

Or what Robin says. Hola, friendos. On the day that I am writing this, the political news is predictably terrible, but I just got to listen to your truly hilarious real time reaction to the Chipmunks. Boy, Andrew, that may have been the TBTL segment that saved a nation since your boat story.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah. Honestly, there was only an 11 year gap between memorable moments on TBTL, the Chipmunks cover of Mr. Tambourine Man. I left harder than I have in a long time. So thank you. As usual, I will use my dazzling donor message to remind my fellow tens that spring migration is upon us. And there is an easy way to help our feathered friends. Most birds migrate at night and light pollution is very dangerous for them them causing millions of bird deaths every year. If you can please dim or turn off unnecessary lights and close your blinds at night. And you're a. And if you're a data nerd. If you are a data nerd like me, you can see migration predictions in your area powered by weather radar at birdcast.info. that's birdcast.info. andrew, this is. I did not realize this. I know that that in big cities like with big tall buildings, there's issues with it confusing the birds and their migration and light pollution. I did not realize it in my own home. And by the way, my home does have some pretty big sliding glass doors. Oh, that. That. You know, I don't. I have not noted any birds flying into them thankfully. But I could definitely pull the shades at night and make those birds lives a little bit better. I'm going to start doing that.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, and you should also put, you should probably like put lines across your window, right? Just like put big tape lines so that birds don't fly big X's. Exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

Sure.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm just laughing because you've been working on this like, just perfect like view.

[Luke Burbank]

I'll take them out.

[Andrew Walsh]

You've spent.

[Luke Burbank]

I'll remove them.

[Andrew Walsh]

You just like the, like the camera on your helmet, you'll just take the whole damn thing out.

[Luke Burbank]

Let me stop you right there, bird. If you think this conversation is going in the direction of me shutting down these sliding glass doors that I raised one side of the house to accommodate, that's not going to happen. No, but seriously, there are a lot of birds around here. It's one of the nice things about living out here is I get to watch them do their thing and I want to make their life better. So the other thing is I do have like various outdoor lights that sometimes I will turn on and I will forget to turn off at night. So, Robin, I'm going to take your advice on this and try to lower the light pollution out here at the Madrona Hill studio. Robin says thanks to Luke, Andrew and John and the tens for making the world a better place. Well, Robin, thank you for making and the world and TBTL a better place. We appreciate you and we could not do this thing without you. Hello and welcome to Top Story. Andrew, I read a sports obituary yesterday that had me pretty frustrated and it caused me to try to look up the writer of the obituary. His name is Mike Marrot or Mike Merritt. Mike Merritt is a. Michael Merritt is a writer for the Associated Press. By the way, I want to mention the Associated Press. They're doing God's work. It's. It's hard out there for journalists. And I support journalism. I support the Associated Press. But this is the, the obituary for the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, Jim Ursay, who died at age 65.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah, I saw that. I thought of you immediately because you had a. You have a little bit of an Irsay obsession. Right? Right.

[Luke Burbank]

Well, because Ursay, much like James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks, Ursay was one of these guys who was fabulously wealthy and owned an NFL team. But his real passion was music. And he would put together these concerts where he would force people to watch him play music. Remember that song he recorded standing next to a tree near the Washington Monument?

[Andrew Walsh]

I knew now that you say the specifics I remembered, I all I remembered was just like that he was doing weird stuff in the musical realm that you were obsessed and that he had that haircut that you're obsessed with.

[Luke Burbank]

And again, because it seemed to be a thing that was going on a lot with NF or with pro sports owners. Like, yes, I own this team, but what my real passion in is music and I would like to force all of you to come watch me. I was talking to a guy when I was in New York who used to work for the New York Knicks and he said that like they regularly had to tell the owner of the Knicks, James Dolan, that he couldn't be the Halftime Entertainment with his band, James Dolan and the Straight Shooters.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm going to stop you right there.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm going to stop you right there, Mr. Dolan. We have the Halftime Entertainment already kind of booked out for the season. Okay, this is the the the Obit of Jim Irsay Jim Irsay started his football career as a ball boy. He finished as a team owner. Along the way, the NFL's Music man created his own unique brand. Irsay worked his way up through the organization, learning how to run a football team, restoring the Colts once proud tradition to glory, and creating what some have dubbed the greatest guitar collection on earth, all while battling health issues and addictions to alcohol and painkillers. On Wednesday, Irsay's remarkable journey ended at age 65. Pete Ward, Ursay's longtime right hand man, made the announcement in the statement, saying Irsay died peacefully in his sleep. Jim's dedication and passion for the Indianapolis Colts, in addition to his generosity, commitment to the community, and most importantly, his love for his family, were unsurpassed. Ursay had a profound impact on the franchise with the help of hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian, hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy and the hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning. Irsay turned the Colts from a longtime laughingstock into a perennial title contender, even winning a Super bowl title. He then used that success and Manning's aura to help convince city leaders to build a retractable dome stadium that opened in 2008 and eventually allowed Indy to host a Super Bowl. I'm heartbroken to hear of Jim Ursay's passing, said Manning on social media. He was incredible, generous. Yada yada yada. More recently, though, Irsay battled health issues and became, let's see, far less visible following the fall of his home in 2023, etc. Etc. Now, Andrew, let me read. Let me just keep. I'll Jump a little forward in the story and then I'm going to read you the opening of the New York Times. O bit of Jim Urban. This is an amazing story, right? The guy was a ball boy for the team and then he became the owner. This is incredible. Ursay, as a teenager tossed footballs with MVP quarterback Johnny Unitis and Bert Jones. He relied frequently on the lessons he learned from rubbing elbows with some of the game's most important owners, Al Davis, Lamar Hunt, Wellington Mara and Art Rooney as they worked through the 1982 player strike and the implementation of a salary cap, et cetera, et cetera, etcetera. So this is a real plucky story. This guy Jim Orsay really did something. It's amazing. How did he go from ball boy to team owner? Here's the opening. Here's Ken Belson writing in the New York Times. Jim Ursay, the straight shooting, hard living, football loving owner and chief executive of the Indianapolis Colts, who spent his entire adult life around the team that his father bought more than a half century ago, died Wednesday in Los Angeles. He was 65. Michael his dad, dad owned the team.

[Andrew Walsh]

And he was a ball boy for his dad's team.

[Luke Burbank]

Jim Hersay started his football career as a ball boy. He finished as a team owner. What the actual.

[Andrew Walsh]

Right.

[Luke Burbank]

This is, this is, this is an actionably bad obit. It's, it's, it is, it is burying the most.

[Andrew Walsh]

I mean, it is, I mean, he wrote it himself. It's like, it's like Jim.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like Jim Ursay dictated this to this guy. I don't even know if it mentions in any point in this AP obit that his father owned the football team.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. That he was the ball boy for that. Because that's a huge. When I first met you, you had a specific phrase that you used a lot at that time that I don't hear you use as much anymore. I don't think. I don't know if you were the first person to say this around me, but for some reason I just associate you with this phrase, which is born on born on third. Thought they hit a triple. Like that is the perfect description of.

[Luke Burbank]

Born in the end zone.

[Andrew Walsh]

Right.

[Luke Burbank]

Thought he scored a touchdown.

[Andrew Walsh]

He scored a touchdown. Yes.

[Luke Burbank]

I mean, I cannot believe I reread this article like 3 times last night because I didn't want to come on here and trash it. If I missed one sentence that just casually mentioned that it wasn't Kool Aid. Like, if there was a quick sentence in here that, that Just said, like, like, you know, by the way, his dad owned the team. This is not. Because I have a problem with him owning the team. And I believe that he probably contributed significantly to the fortunes of the Indianapolis Colts. I think the stuff about his, you know, his. Like, for instance, I believe he got. I'd never even heard of this happening, but I believe he was able to get the general manager, Bill Polian in a trade he literally traded a draft pick for. It'd be like if the Seahawks had traded a draft pick to get John Schneider.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's interesting.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah, I didn't. I forgot you could do that. Like he traded football people for a guy who was a general manager of football people, which is a pretty interesting thing to do. But I just, I tried to find this guy who wrote the obit last night. I want to be clear, I wasn't drinking, but I tried to find him to just send him a nice note.

[Andrew Walsh]

Just to be clear, I wasn't drinking. I'm just an asshole. And I'm sober, too. Absolutely.

[Luke Burbank]

I want you to know that I can be just as much of an a hole while not drinking as I used to be while drinking. Yes. I wanted to find him and send him an email that just said I wasn't going to blast him. I was just going to say I'm curious why you made the decision to absolutely low key, if not completely erase the fact that this quote unquote ball boy with a guitar collection also was the son of the owner of the football team. And I'll tell you what, you can't get to this dude. His only thing I could find on him was his LinkedIn profile and I don't have LinkedIn so I can't talk.

[Andrew Walsh]

To people on LinkedIn.

[Luke Burbank]

Probably better. Probably better.

[Andrew Walsh]

My new phone came with LinkedIn already. Like it had LinkedIn and a couple of other Microsoft products in and I could not delete them fast enough.

[Luke Burbank]

Oh, you're not. We're not going to be meeting on teams this week, Andrew, for our next TBTV meeting.

[Andrew Walsh]

I don't think so.

[Luke Burbank]

Anyway. I just. Listen, I will admit that I have a pretty big chip on my shoulder around class and people who I feel maybe inherited something. You know, speaking a witch of. I think there's somebody. There's somebody adjacent to my life wife who says speaking which of. And Becca and I always kind of say it to each other as a joke, but now it's one of those things where I've been saying it as a joke so long that I sometimes say it in like, unintentionally. But speaking which of. I think. I don't think James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, inherited the Knicks, but he inherited Cabletown. He inherited, like, basically Comcast, I think, or what became Comcast, which is, I believe, sort of what the plot of CableTown on. On 30 Rock is kind of based around Comcast, Xfinity, etc, And I feel like James Dolan inherited some kind of a media company from his dad, which allowed him to buy the New York Knicks. Anyway, I'm not trying to just trash Jim Ursay, who has now passed away because he inherited the football team. I don't really have a problem with that. I have a big problem with the way that obituary was written. It's really wild to me. I mean, it feels intentional, obviously. I mean, honestly.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, yeah, it does. I mean, it makes it sound like a version of a rags to riches story. Not that. Like a being a ball boy. I mean, to be a ball boy of any professional team or. Or, you know, anything that would. Or, you know, I don't know what other thing you would be other than a ball boy. We were just talking about this the other day. That's what you call them in baseball, too, the kids. Along the lines. Right, whatever.

[Luke Burbank]

I think that's the one consistent across all sports. Because in basketball, you probably called a ball boy.

[Andrew Walsh]

What do they do?

[Luke Burbank]

They kind of keep track of the basketballs. If they go bouncing, like in warmups. If they go bouncing off the court or.

[Andrew Walsh]

Make sure they're orange.

[Luke Burbank]

Make sure they're orange. Although, funnily enough, a lot of them aren't now, which really throws me off. The NBA is doing so much wackadoo stuff because they're like, how do we get more viewers? You know what? The court has been too normal for too long. Let's put like a. Let's slime the court with some Nickelodeon ass shit.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, the court itself. And this is going to.

[Luke Burbank]

This color is weird. Now.

[Andrew Walsh]

Some people the wrong way because. Because I think it might be. What is the Portland team? The Timberwolves?

[Luke Burbank]

The Blazers or the Blazers.

[Andrew Walsh]

I'm sorry, I'm really bad at basketball. I believe I have a drop of somebody saying, you should be banned from talking basketball. And I should be. But somebody. And I'm assuming this is still the case, but in years past, one of these NBA teams has a court that I think is supposed to depict a bunch of trees, like a forest.

[Luke Burbank]

Oregon. That's the University of Oregon basketball.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, that's a college team.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay.

[Luke Burbank]

It is so basically it's an extension of Nike.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

University of Oregon is basically Nike. You.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

And they, they're always ahead of the game on various, like weird technological stuff and sports technology. And one of those things was they were like kind of the first team to go to like a weird court.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, I do not like it. It is hard. I don't like that.

[Luke Burbank]

Yes, I don't like it either. I don't. I think that they should disband the whole universities, sports teams. But that's just me as a Husky. That's just. Hey, speaking of sports speaking. Which of. Let me just throw this your way really quickly, Andrew, and then we'll get to the blurs days. But I saw. I'm surprised this is. Maybe this is getting some attention on sports talk, but I haven't heard. I haven't heard a lot about this case out of Colorado. A Colorado man is suing the Rockies after suffering, quote, a catastrophic and permanent injuries when he was hit in the right eye by a foul ball in a game against the New York Yankees at Coors field, July of 2023. According to the Denver Post, the fan is a guy named Timothy Raquel. He was in a luxury box as a guest of the box owner when he was struck. Struck in the first inning of the team's game. The lawsuit claims that architectural elements of the luxury box made it impossible to see the incoming foul ball. The suit also claims this is the great part, the Rockies poor play was a factor as it was easy to ignore the action on the field. The lawsuit. Because when you, when you buy a ticket or you are, I guess when you are admitted to an MLB stadium, you enter in some sort of contract that you agree to hold them blameless if you get hit by a foul ball or a home run or a flying bat or anything. And fair.

[Andrew Walsh]

Right.

[Luke Burbank]

Like foul in my mind.

[Andrew Walsh]

I set them up, you knock them down. No, but that, I mean, I gotta say as somebody who goes to baseball games, like let me. Sorry that I keep bringing back to this. But when I had to like, you know, get.

[Luke Burbank]

When you got the Ryan Court foul ball. When I got all. Heard the story.

[Andrew Walsh]

When I got the ryan Court Galaxy S25 yesterday, I got the Ryan Court. They have a special.

[Luke Burbank]

You got the special limited edition Ryan Court.

[Andrew Walsh]

Anyway, I was just.

[Luke Burbank]

If you walked into the store and they were like, these are not moving. And you're like, this was made for me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Comes with a special case. All right, listen. Because this is far afield. But I had to like, you know, like agree to all kinds of terms and conditions. And I noticed that one of them that kind of pissed me off as I'm just kind of blazing through all of these was one that I could not opt out of. And that was like something about like when I'm signing on with my new phone with T Mobile, I am agreeing to arbitration only if there's some sort of dispute or something. Now don't be wrong. I have no intention of getting into some sort of legal battle attracted mobile. But like I just hate that shit. Like in order to use a phone I have to basically sign over my legal rights and say just I have, I have no recourse here other than some bullshit arbitration. And again, it's not going to come.

[Luke Burbank]

It's like the guy who organized, who ordered Disney plus and then couldn't sue Disneyland when his wife died of anaphylactic shock.

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly. Which I don't know what ended up happening with that, but shocking.

[Luke Burbank]

That's rotten.

[Andrew Walsh]

That was really rotten. But anyway, but all that is to say, so I'm a little sensitive to that stuff. But in this case, and you know, I'm not some huge fan of MLB or the owners, like they're very deep pocketed cheap sobs as far as I can tell. But it makes sense to me to waive your rights to sue a baseball team or major league baseball if you have an accident that is related to the game itself. I mean, be upfront about it, but it makes sense.

[Luke Burbank]

Particularly with all this netting that they now have up. I think it's actually pretty hard to get hit by a foul ball. You know, you'd have to be in one of those luxury boxes because they're probably the only place on the field now where you're at the angle where a foul ball could get to you. That's not a total pop up. Because think about that netting that goes all the way down the baselines. In order for a ball to be on the other side of that netting, it has to have achieved a pretty high altitude and dropped down.

[Andrew Walsh]

Now can you remind me, was this one a foul foul ball or was this a home run? Did you say foul ball?

[Luke Burbank]

Because he was in a luxury, he was in one of those luxury boxes. But this, so, so one of his arguments is the, the sort of indemnity of the baseball team should not apply here. I don't know if that's really the word I want to use there. But whatever the, the, the fact that, that, that I've, you know, I shouldn't be able to sue them for Getting hurt with a foul ball. But this is. These are special circumstances because this way, this luxury box was set up. I could not see the ball coming in and they should have fixed this. This is above and beyond what they're, you know, normally talking about with foul balls. And also the Colorado Rockies have put such a bad product on the field in terms of win losses that they have now reoriented. Re. Reoriented the entertainment factor of the game to be about things on the diamond vision, about various dances and music and things that are not baseball related. And therefore they are encouraging people to not look at the field of play. That's his legal argument. You have put such a shitty team on the field that we, the fans don't look at the field very much. Therefore we are more vulnerable to a foul ball hitting us in the eye. What do you think of that? This is handle on the tbtl. This is the show where we tell you you have no case.

[Andrew Walsh]

This is law talk. I gotta get back in my law talk. Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

What do you think of that?

[Andrew Walsh]

I think it's bs. I almost wonder what it doesn't. I mean, listen, I have no background in law, so. So I'm just doing that thing where you talk on a microphone as if you know what you're talking about, but it just sort of sounds like one of those things that is like. It's almost like designed to catch headlines, which I don't know why that would be advantageous for you if you're representing somebody. But like there's no way that stands any kind of legal muster and. Or mustard if you got one of those ballpark franks. But because also like, it doesn't make. I mean, I want to be sort of.

[Luke Burbank]

That was literally the mustard sound effect, by the way.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh yeah, yeah, Kendrick. But anyway, it just seems. Sorry, I'm a little distracted, but it just seems so dumb to me because first of all, it's a foul ball. It's not like, oh, I got hit, I got bonked by a home run and I wasn't expecting it because the team is so bad. You know what bad teams still do hit foul balls. Like, I know he's saying that we're distracted by other non baseball things, but that's. It's just ridiculous to me. You should still be, you know, keeping an eye on the. Don't go then. You know what I mean? There's a baseball game going on if. Anyway, I'm not.

[Luke Burbank]

I want to know what. What's in it for the law firm of Nelson Whites of Presumably Denver, Colorado. I'm surprised they took this case because I feel like it's going to get thrown out, like, almost immediately.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

And so I wonder. They must not have done it on contingency. They must have. This guy must be paying them to bring this case. And again, I feel like it's. It's going to get tossed pretty quick. And also it would be precedent setting because there are a lot of crappy teams out there that do a lot of, you know, the Mariners aren't crappy right now, but, you know, throwing hot dogs from heaven and playing, you know, a remix, Louie, Louie. It's like, all part of the entertainment factor of these games. Like, I just can't. I can't see a universe in which this guy prevails with this lawsuit.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Because these entertainment things are still, like, drawing your attention to the field of play. Generally speaking. It's not like, hey, you put too much fun stuff on the Jumbotron. I'm not paying attention to the game. Well, guess where the Jumbotron is right above the game. They don't have it in the back corner.

[Luke Burbank]

The fact that this guy, no offense, but this back to my. My class chip on my shoulder. The fact that he was in a luxury box also makes him a little bit less. Like, if he was the guy carrying the, like, big tray of beers.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Like walking around the stadium and he got hit, I would have a lot of empathy for this guy.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, that's true. Workplace.

[Luke Burbank]

But the fact that this guy is, like, in a luxury box, just probably not paying attention to the game and jawboning with someone that gets hit by a foul ball. I mean, again, again, I hope the guy's eye is okay, but this also makes him less of a sympathetic character to me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Started as a ball boy. There's a right way to rock and a wrong way to roll. You can't just listen to your soul. Just remember that life is number one. You can be having so much fun. Just remember that life is much fun. You can be nothing but one. All right, we got some blurs days to offer. If you want to wish somebody a happy birthday, Happy blurs day, email me andrewbtail.net put Blurs Day in the subject line. Nigel and Tiffany, Pale Nigel. Mayor Nigel and Tiffany want to Wish A happy 18th Blursday to our five. Daria. It feels. I am assuming that's Daria, but I'll also say Daria just in case there. It feels like, yes, my kind of show. It feels like just yesterday that you were sitting in a Baby seat in the back of the car while you were subjected to hour after hour of tbtl. And now you're a full grown legal adult who gets to sit sit in the front seat while you're subjected to hour after hour of tbtl. We are so proud of you. It's been so fun to watch you grow up.

[Luke Burbank]

Sweet.

[Andrew Walsh]

Very sweet. And by the way, I want to give a shout out there if Daria is thinking, boy, that kind of came in a little bit late. My birthday was last week. That's on us. Because we did our blurs days early. And so I think Nigel had sent this in, like, probably right as we.

[Luke Burbank]

Were reading on your dad. So explain.

[Andrew Walsh]

This is on us.

[Luke Burbank]

This is on us.

[Andrew Walsh]

Keith says to Annette, sorry for the belated birthday shout out. This one is on. Keith, I think you are my everything. Life with you is exciting and new.

[Luke Burbank]

That's my wife.

[Andrew Walsh]

Come aboard. We're expecting you. Is that the Love Boat? Is that what I'm doing there?

[Luke Burbank]

I believe that's what that is. It's another, like, friends. That's another cultural blind spot for me.

[Andrew Walsh]

Ever tell you my Love Boat thing? I was at the Eagles. They had it on. Captions on because they were playing music or whatever. It might have even been around, like, I don't know, the holidays or something. And I sat down and I was watching the Love Boat and I really enjoyed it because I didn't watch it growing up. And I'm like, this. This is kind of good. I got sucked into one of the episodes. I'm like, I'm gonna go home and watch more Love Boat. I get home, I turn it on. It has a laugh track. It has a fake laugh track that I found so disconcerting that. And distracting. Not disconcerting, but so distracting. And it ruined the show for me. And I realized I didn't know about the laugh track. Cause I was watching it. Muted subtitles. Yeah. Yeah. Like, it's amazing how something like that can have such a different tone to it, you know?

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah. I don't think I knew that it had a laugh. I've never watched any episodes of the Love Boat, but I know the theme song because it was iconic and I kind of know the. I know the, like, the look of the show. But that's news to me that there's a laugh track on it.

[Andrew Walsh]

It was like some sort of fake audience reaction. I don't know if it's fair to call it a laugh track, but it was weird. But what is not weird is Keith's Love Love of Annette. Keith says from. That was weird.

[Luke Burbank]

That sound effect I played.

[Andrew Walsh]

I thought you just meant the way I phrased that. From AG to Vegas, where we are now, my side bits are yours forever. Okay, so explain that. Oh, please don't. Then it says be. Was that a party horn?

[Luke Burbank]

That this is called male super fail.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yes. I don't know if I remember you.

[Luke Burbank]

It also sounds like what's happening with their bits.

[Andrew Walsh]

Several different party horns that went from total failure to success. And then I don't know what this means either. B O A I S O over. No. Forever and ever. B O A ISO Forever and ever. Do you?

[Luke Burbank]

This is party horn. Good.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay. It's pretty good.

[Luke Burbank]

This is party horn medium fail.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, that's what one.

[Luke Burbank]

And this is party horn super fail.

[Andrew Walsh]

I love it. Lisa says Very happy Blurs day to Maya. We have been seriously friends IRL for over 10 years, and although we don't work together anymore, live in the same city. We try to see each other when we can. Maya is fun, interesting, and an overall awesome person. I love to see her when we can, and she is the best TBTL live show buddy you could ask for. Can't wait to catch up at our next happy hour.

[Luke Burbank]

Maya's the goat of coming to TBT all things.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. Avalon says happy golden blurs day to my little sister, Roslyn. I'm so proud. From going back to college to becoming an accountant to most importantly, becoming a 10 after 15 years of being an 11. Now the most adult challenge of all, battling mice, termites, ants, wasps, and a leaky poop pipe in your beautiful but possibly cursed home. No matter what, Roslyn tackles challenges with jokes, delicious tea, and great snacks.

[Luke Burbank]

Andrew, I saw a heinous spider this morning in my bedroom and I didn't catch it. I'm talking. I'm talking a biggie. I think we're getting into spider season, and I was walking over to the hamper in my bedroom, the clothing hamper. I was tossing my T shirt in there and it startled the spider and it went running past me and then it went under my bed and then I could not find it. It is somewhere in the house and I may not never sleep in there again.

[Andrew Walsh]

I don't blame you. I can't handle spiders. I think I'm getting more scared of things the older I get. We had.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm actually not in our house. Like, daddy long legs, don't bother me or whatever those are called, like harvest threshers or something. There's some Name for those. Those don't even bug me. This thing was like. It looked like a wolf spider.

[Andrew Walsh]

Can I ask you a basketball question?

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

Has there ever been an NBA player whose nickname is Daddy Long Long Legs? Because I feel like that's a great nickname for a tall person.

[Luke Burbank]

It is. You know, they called John Sally the Spider Man.

[Andrew Walsh]

Okay.

[Luke Burbank]

But not. Not Daddy Long Legs. That I know. What about just Long Legs? Because they talk like the Nicholas Cage character in Long Legs.

[Andrew Walsh]

Have you seen that? I have not seen. No.

[Luke Burbank]

I'm too afraid.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, me too. I don't even understand what it is.

[Luke Burbank]

I don't know what is going on, but it is settling. It's Dr. Dr. Times about a hundred.

[Andrew Walsh]

Call me dad. Daddy Long Legs. Virginia says Happy Blurs day to Holly. You are doggone awesome. And I hope your day is filled with sunshine. You are a 10 of tens. Love Virginia in Texas.

[Luke Burbank]

Cute.

[Andrew Walsh]

Then Sherry finally says, happy belated 62nd birthday to my husband and fellow 10. Peter, congrats on your recent roadie run. 10k.

[Luke Burbank]

Love it.

[Andrew Walsh]

50 50th overall out of. 451 3rd in your age group. Number two will age out before you. Wink, wink. I'm so proud of you. And I'm impressed with your dedication to this new fairly recent pastime. Plus, I love that you got an actual bronze medal. Hey, I like that too. You ever bite it? You gotta bite it, Peter. Gotta bite that metal.

[Luke Burbank]

Make sure it's real. Bronze.

[Andrew Walsh]

Exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

The roadie run. We love the roadie run. That is the. That's the run in Port Townsend.

[Andrew Walsh]

Oh, yeah, sure. That makes sense.

[Luke Burbank]

I've done a roadie run or two in my day.

[Andrew Walsh]

Nice. Well, Happy Blurs a Peter and congrats and we Out.

[Luke Burbank]

That, you know, was. That was the other thing before we did no Mountain Too Tall. And good luck to all. We were considering saying we out.

[Andrew Walsh]

We out. You know what? I was channeling there. I was channeling a Digable Planet song. I believe it ends with her saying, we out. We out. We out.

[Luke Burbank]

Yes. Yeah. Is that. Is that. I know that song. It's probably not cool like that, right? Rebirth of Slick.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah. Yeah. Rebirth of Slick. I think parenthetically cool like that. And you know what? That might be that. Actually. Yeah. Actually, I do think that that's the song I was thinking of. I wouldn't have gotten.

[Luke Burbank]

Yeah.

[Andrew Walsh]

But yeah, we out. Yeah.

[Luke Burbank]

Garfield High. Proud Garfield High grads. I believe.

[Andrew Walsh]

That's right. And I believe they're on tour again. These. And I saw them celebrating their. We saw them at the Neptune a few years ago. They were celebrating the anniversary of their first record. And now I believe they're touring on the anniversary of their second record, Blowout Comb. So I'm gonna see if I can see that. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

[Luke Burbank]

I also don't like the fact that Digable Planets is playing the same venue that TBTL has played. That doesn't feel right. Diggle Plants should be playing Climate Pledge arena or something.

[Andrew Walsh]

I saw, you know, my favorite band, Dead, at. At the. At the same theater, and I was thinking, I've used those microphones. I used those microphones that. My favorite band.

[Luke Burbank]

I've climbed down those weirdly steep stairs.

[Andrew Walsh]

Yeah, exactly.

[Luke Burbank]

All right, that is gonna do it for today's episode. Thank you so much for spending the time with us. We are gonna be back here tomorrow with more imaginary radio for you. Please join us then. In the meantime, have a great Thursday. Take care of yourselves. And please remember, no mountain too tall.

[Andrew Walsh]

And good luck to all.

[Luke Burbank]

We out. You should be banned from talking basketball. Power out.
