What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

12/2025 Update: TBTL is better than ever! With all due respect to other listeners, the baseball talk is not a big deal; in fact, I really feed off of their enthusiasm and the entire emotional journey. Forever rooting for the business boys!! ~C ———-Give TBTL a whirl! It will feel like you’re not in on the inside jokes, but that feeling goes away quickly. It’s the podcast that’s there for you when you just need to unwind and chuckle a little. It’s a friend that’s there for you, but is okay with whatever you have to give in return. Luke and Andrew are two very special people who are genuine, vulnerable, thoughtful, and witty.

C in the E V T · Dec 2025

Check out TBTL for your daily scoop of what it is to be human! Built-in inside jokes, an amazingly supportive and caring listener base, and of course, Luke & Andrew who discuss random life occurances, awkward situations, hilarious spoofs, hot and cold takes and more. Listen while working out, driving, packing, cooking, gardening, shopping, sticking it to the man, with or without yr kids or significant other! One of the best shows I’ve ever had the honor to listen to. Give it a shot! Might need to listen to a few to get into it, but COMPLETELY worth it.

Luke and Andrew and the amazing online Tens Community truly are curing global loneliness. In fact, TBTL is the only reason I have not completely lost my sanity this year. Thank you TBTL, pod pets, and fellow Tens! Highly highly recommend!

KaleyOne · Oct 2023

Comfort listening at its finest, I always enjoy hearing Luke and Andrew talk about their daily lives, and their candid honesty about both the little and big things in our lives that make a big difference for us all. I feel like I know them personally, and I listen to them all the time every day. Highly recommend for anyone!

Michrun · Apr 2023

Past Seattle radio talk show hosts bro-ing it up on a daily one hour podcast. Both 40 something white males, and very aware of it. I’ve been a fan since 2008. They have “tens” of listeners. Luke Burbank has my heart because he has the same unhealthy obsession with his weight and shame eating and constant dieting as I do. Andrew Walsh is brilliant and funny, he just doesn’t really believe it. 2025/10 - Update. All baseball talk all the time? It’s been a pretty great run, but it might be time for me to move on from this show.
