You're now joining TBTL with Luke Burbank, already in progress on News Talk 710, Cairo, now on 973 FM.

I love this music. I do. I'm a Michael Bolton fan. For my money, I don't know if it gets any better than when he sings when a man loves a woman.

We were just watching that movie today on HBO and I was remembering all over again just how great office space is.

I love things that are great and sometimes overlooked. Welcome to our number two of a Thursday night edition of TBTL with Burbank, your host here joining you tonight from Los Angeles, California thanks to our sister station 100.3 FM, the sound down here in LA.

And it's time for some awesome, not awesome.

You know, sometimes not awesome though. Not awesome. Not awesome. Not away so may.

No, that's just phonetic, I think. It's Sean learned to read. I got an email from David in Seattle saying that he has a friend who's a Japanese woman who quite grasped English language right away.

I was having trouble with it so when she would talk about things, she would say awesome that way.

Well, you know, there's getting hooked on phonics and then there's getting really hooked. We're in an alley somewhere just trying to find a vein saying always so me.

That may have been the road that you went down Sean. I think so. Awesome. Not awesome is a little trip through the news of the day or maybe the week or stories from our own life or even things that we make up and say they really happen to us.

It doesn't matter. It's our segment. We can do whatever we want. And during awesome, not awesome. We we tell you if things are awesome or if they're not awesome. If they're awesome.

Sean or maybe in this case is it silent Nick? No, not yet. Not until nine. I asked Nick. He's like, just nine, please. If they're awesome.

Well, if they're awesome, Sean will play this thing. And if they're not awesome, he'll play this.

Come on. Let's start out with a quick, not awesome. Come on. And that is the departure of our very, very good friend, silent Nick.

This is his last night working on the show, but never fear. He will be back on. Do we decide what night next week? Monday.

Monday. He will be back on Monday night so that we can properly celebrate him. And he's coming to book club.

I'm already kind of getting sick of him and his retirement. It's like Sean's birthday. It's a weeks and weeks and weeks.

No, this is silent. Next last night working on the show, but he is going to be back on Monday night. Well, we'll give him a proper

percent off because I'm down here in LA and it just didn't seem right. But I don't want anyone to think that we're not marking the occasion.

It's just that, you know, I'm not ready emotionally to deal with that reality. So I'm kind of pretending like Monday is really his last night.

All right. So not awesome that he's leaving, but a very awesome legacy left behind by the silent one. All right.

Next up, an awesome story. The awesome resurgence of our friend, Mr. Shyelabuff. I say resurgence because remember when things went really south for a minute with him, Jennifer?
