0:00.0 | So, Birdo, when I first started this podcast 13 years ago, I imagined that you and I would share |
0:06.8 | the all the tasks involved in the podcast. When I would come up with topics, you would come up |
0:13.0 | with topics, I would get people to interview, you would get people to interview, all the various |
0:18.2 | things. But you vastly underestimated my laziness. And soon realized that I had to do everything, |
0:25.0 | and you showed up, which is great. You're a very good, in, you know, basketball commentary |
0:31.6 | terms. You're a good color man. That's right. And you will, or color commentary, right? And, |
0:37.2 | you know, you're, you're the best, or when it comes to that, but you've never prepared your own |
0:41.6 | topic until today, which day, which you have coined a burtopic. It is a portmanteau of Birdo and |
0:50.7 | topic. So what are we talking about today, Birdo? Which, by the way, it's going to be confusing if |
0:55.3 | I start posting on Instagram and I post burtopic's because they're spelled the same way. That's right. |

1:22.4 | soundtracked by that music that was playing on the radio and those videos that we were watching |
1:26.8 | on MTV. It was so embedded into the culture. And we probably, I know that you've talked about it. |
1:32.5 | We have memories that were attached to what was happening that week in music. And I got curious |
1:38.2 | about it because it was potentially a first in human history, like a confluence of things that |
1:44.9 | hadn't happened before and may not happen again. So it's pretty fascinating. What do you mean? |
1:50.7 | What do you mean? In that, okay, so certainly before recorded music, you didn't have a device that |
1:57.4 | you could just like turn on and there was music playing. So for you to listen to music, you either |
2:01.5 | had to sing it yourself or someone in your household or you'd have to travel somewhere where some |
2:06.7 | group was playing. And the further back you go, the harder that would have been to come by. |
