Excuse me. Hi, you're Casey Casey. You're unbelievable. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. No, no, no. Seriously, I'm telling you. You blow me away. Why it's really nice of you. No, no, no, I'm telling you what you do. It's really amazing. It's fabulous. Yes. Well, can we get men are not telling you what you do. I really get it. I get what's going on with you. It's amazing. Really great stuff. Yes. No, no, no, really. Tell me a favor. Say coming in this week and number one is Lyle over chief is stuck on you. I really don't think I can do it. No, no, no, come on. Do it. Seriously. Do it. Come on. Do it. Come on. Do it. Come on.

Number one this week is Lyle Richie was stuck on you. That's good. All right. Thusher, you can screw me. So maybe this isn't exactly the most polished radio broadcast you've ever heard. It's not that bad, honestly. It is, but it's not. I swear every time this guy talks, all I hear is a turkey goblin. Meet from the street.

On tree. I'm a poet and didn't even know I was rhyming those words. That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works. All right. Hello. Good morning and welcome everyone to a Thursday edition of TBTL. The show that just might be too beautiful to live. Isn't that for Techno Geeks with spreadsheet? My name is Luke Burbank. I am your host. You're still doing a pod card. Coming to you from the

Nest Broadcast Center, perched high in the sky above Portland, Oregon, where we are looking at another gorgeous day. It's your lucky day. Maybe we just need to have the terrible rainy days. The days where there is a 2,000 mile on river of water in the sky to make us really appreciate these nice days.

Right now, yesterday, I got a little jog in in the sunshine and just silently judged every other person on the trail for not wearing their masks or not staying in their lanes or whatever was just a beautiful little outdoor jaunt where I just was internally furious at every other human being in Portland, Oregon.

That's what I'm going to do later on today as well. That's how I roll as it were. This is how we're going to roll an episode 3,337 in a collector series.

Let the fun begin. Got some great news coming out of Taco Bell HQ. They are bringing back potatoes. I might have tacos when I go home. I'm not quite sure yet.

And messing around with some of that fake hamburger stuff too. As a person who doesn't eat meat, I was quite sad that they had eliminated the potatoes from the menu and they have apparently heard the cry of the people.

So we will talk about that also in news out of Australia. Australia is a wonderful island.

And Australians are just as unique, both warm and direct.

They're warm and unique and direct, I guess, when they're not trying to kill a pigeon who somehow got from Oregon over to Australia and now is on the run because the pigeon will be executed on site.

We'll be executed when captured. So we will update you on that story as well. And because it's a Thursday, a.k.a. a blurs day.

We'll do some blurs day messages. We'll do all that with the help of this young man long standing co-bro of the show known for his drawings of tall ships, their grace and their majesty.

He has been making some new online friends. There's something about the Wild West of Craigslist.

He's Andrew Welsh. He's joining me right now from the Roosevelt neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Good morning, my friend.

Good morning. A couple of apologies. Apologies here at the top. A third apology for referring to apologies. Apologies there.

I'm trying to save time by creating more abbreviations. Have you heard that radio commercial where a woman is like kind of remarking on some of the ironies of life?

I don't even know what it's for. It's not a very good radio commercial. But she points out that the word abbreviation is an incredibly long word for something that is about short.

It's a good point. That is a good point. I have not heard that commercial. That must be because I think you're listening to more sports radio than I am right now, maybe because your football team is still competitive. Stop rubbing it in.

Yeah, I don't know. It was definitely on some sort of maybe I heard it when I was listening to the Seahawks game in the car at the end of our road trip.

What are my apologies for? First of all, yeah, that you apologize that intro that we played at the beginning of the show. I made that probably several years ago.

It was the music like disappeared on that we keep this music. Of course as a bed underneath all of the little drops and such and it almost disappeared as really disappointed in my mixing skills back in 2018 or whenever I made that.
