The Pirates blew out the Mariners on Wednesday, so Pittsburgh radio announcer Bob Walk decided to get comfortable.

Here it is in Vine form, so you can relive it over and over.

Walk’s TV counterparts had a good laugh at his expense, but the joke’s on them—Walk looks perfectly fine with laying on the floor.
