This Show Has Everything

Hey Man, it’s a new recap episode of Little Red Bandwagon! Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are here to guide you through Luke’s vacillating feelings toward Marie Kondo, the dramatic canceling of Ron & Don, Andrew’s (and Hillary’s) love of TV Guide’s Cheers & Jeers, the complicated Waffle House dialect, and much much more. Meanwhile y’all, Hillary’s dealing with a Frankenstein (you mean Frankenstei...

Welcome to another Boot the Boys episode, where Meredith, Hillary, and Ann are ready to offer their hot takes on Luke and Andrew’s hot takes on everything from the nutrition level of various vegetables to the appropriateness of playing the Humpty Dance during Grandparents’ Hour at a wedding. We’re fond of our TBTL friendos, but it’s difficult not to roll our eyes (so, so difficult) as they advocat...

On this month’s clip show, Ann, Christy, and “try-hard theater kid” Hillary have brought their tap shoes and jazz hands to talk about the long-standing and somewhat problematic relationship TBTL has with musical theater. We’re pissed off at 2008 Luke’s attitude, but proud of how far he’s come since then. Jen’s star turns at Jesus Creek were continually thwarted by the shortcomings of Eric Trout. W...

It’s the second week of TBTL’s pre-taped holiday shows, but Bobby, Meredith, Mike, and Ann still have plenty to say regarding man movies, Ray Liotta’s beautiful eyes, how peeing outside is fine™, and the sartorial advantages of peacoats. More serious discussions include how we deal with poor tippers (those West Michigan Dutch, amirite?), our frustration with Luke’s ceaseless diet talk, and the tra...

Ann, Bobby, Hillary, Mike, and Meredith are back with an unprecedented two-week recap that they somehow got through in under two hours. (Hooray for us!) Mike stayed up way too late seeing Charley Crockett and is very “chipper,” Bobby (and Sam and Cupcake) are now famous throughout the greater Buffalo Niagara region, Hillary doesn’t know what to do with her kids for the rest of Winter Break and nee...

This episode originally aired in December 2017. That said, it’ll still do a fine job distracting you at work this week in 2018. Enjoy! Here’s the original write-up: “You cannot sing ‘parum pum pum pum’ and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.” It’s the holiday season, so we thought we’d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians – you’re welcome, too!). Ch...

Join us as we gather together to open our Secret Santa gifts! Everything we got was pretty good (and definitely not bombs), but you’ll get the greatest gift of all—a distraction from your family and holiday obligations. Enjoy!

Ann, Hillary and Meredith are meeting in the LRB conference space, and we DEFINITELY have an agenda, although we’ll need to keep it short so we’re not late for yoga. It was a strange, somewhat gross week of TBTL, full of things in nostrils that shouldn’t be, rambling discussions about “funny” Christian singers, and seriously shady Lyft drivers. We’re head over heels for guest cohost Jeannie Yandel...

It’s December 2018, and another year draws to a close at the Little Red Bandwagon. We’ve had a lot of fun talking about TBTL, as well as pop culture, sports, candy, pets (new and old), tasty beverages, the state of the world and our own lives. So for this month’s clip show, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of our favorite moments on our own show. Okay, they’re some of Ann’s favorite momen...

Mike, Bobby and Ann have punched the clock for our latest TBTL Week in Review, and they’re just hoping to make it through this bohemoth with as few sprinkles in unsavory places as possible. Mike has a surprisingly sound theory about Moby and Beck, Bobby has just discovered a little show on Netflix called Breaking Bad , and when it comes to TBTL showering love on our friends over at the Preheated p...

This week, we’re coming in hot with takes that burn like salicylic acid. Meredith is calling out Michael Pollan. Bobby is correcting the record on the Golden Griffins. Hillary is slamming on The Doors. Mike is mad at avocados. And we’re all calling BS on both hippie mayo, and Andrew’s claim that he’s never had ranch dressing. (Unless, of course, he was raised strictly Catalina.) Plus, we take some...

Listen back with us to December 2015, when Bobby and Christy interviewed Christmas-loving Jew and Brooklyn Ten Stephanie Lee, and listened back to TBTL’s legendary Top 5 Modern Day Christmas Songs Mashup from 2011. We’ve got a quick update from Stephanie, who in the last three years was finally forced to give up her Blackberry and get an iPhone. Click here for the Christmas Music Dropbox folder, w...

Welcome back to the LRB, friendos – Mike, Meredith, Bobby, and Ann have all survived another Thanksgiving unscathed, and we hope that you have, as well. Our roll holes are stuffed with some sort of carb (with butter, natch), so we’re ready to get down to the business of your latest TBTL recap. On the Burbank family menu this holiday: wet paper bag turkey, garbage bread stuffing, Aunt Mary Lou’s ch...

It’s a very special Thanksgiving edition of Little Red Bandwagon! Ann’s Apple-Pear Cruble Pie is going in the oven once Bobby’s spatchcocked turkey comes out. Hillary is hitting the (worst possible) road. Meredith is ready to play an important roll/role . Mike is ready for some football . And outspoken Thanksgiving food-hater Christy is fleeing to Palm Springs . Help us boost our Poditron™ numbers...

Crack open a Topo Chico (glass bottle, please) and Come Sail Away with the LRB for a recap of one of the loooooooooongest weeks of TBTL we can remember. The reunited I-35 Crew of Ann, Hillary, Meredith and Mike have gathered to make what lemonade we can out of this lemon, even if it means listening to endless talk about vegetarianism, vanilla dairy-free mac and cheese, and unappealing carb substit...

The struggle is real on this week’s TBTL Week in Review. Forty N’ QUERTY Hillary’s anxiety is flaring because of the messy house in The Cat in the Hat, Word-forgetter Bobby is drinking warm Maker’s Mark with a Fresca back, and Future Detroit Tiny Fence Concert Host Meredith is at her wit’s end single-parenting the heck out of Bear. We’re happy for Luke’s positive life choices, and that Rich is (a)...

This month on the LRB clip show we’re taking a deep dive into one of our favorite segments: fire up the theme music, because we’re doing some Cooking With Sean! Our second-favorite KIRO board op is known for his creative culinary pursuits, and we’re looking back at just a few of the recipes he’s tested out on TBTL. We’ll hear about a heavily modified tuna casserole, dubiously flavored pickles, hot...

This week, Bobby, Ann, Mike and Hillary are trying some new positions for the TBTL Week in Review. In some ways, it was more challenging than usual. In others, it was highly rewarding. It definitely lasted longer than usual. We hope you find it as stimulating as we did. Besides all that TBTL, Bobby is finally watching The Good Place , Ann wore a bra the other night for nothing, Mike was bested by...

Over here at the LRB we know that you were promised a handful of special pet-related episodes of TBTL last week. We also know that these promises were poorly fulfilled, as our TBTL friendos proved once again that following a show sheet is not one of their stronger skills. Luckily, your LRB hosts can fill that gap, bringing more pet-related content than all three of TBTL’s Pet-agogy episodes combin...

It’s the Final Friday of the month, and it’s time to close the Johnson Account. Ann, Christy, Mike and Bobby have an overflowing mailbag, hot takes on an array of TBTL sponsors, and a late-night hookup for homemade microwaved salami chips that would probably make Luke question his newfound quasi-vegetarianism. Plus, Bobby’s failed mattress re-boxing, Mike’s inherited underwear, Christy’s new pup B...

We’re getting close to Halloween so the LRB coven of Hillary, Meredith, and Ann is reconvening, with Mike taking his life into his (kitten bitten) hands to join them. There’s a thorough discussion of the new LRB family additions (both cat and human), another emotional breakdown from Mike, a peek at the Van Harn family’s pending super villain, and the continuing countdown to Hillary’s big day (carr...

Are you a Luke, or an Andrew? If you’re listening to our LRB, you’re probably neither! (And that’s OK, because we’d think less of you for paying $3.50 a bottle for Lipton Diet Green Tea .) Now that that’s settled, enjoy this TBTL Week in Review covering everything from airport anxiety and buzzed birds to new RV restrictions and “Minnesota Nice.” Plus, Hillary is going through a mid-life crisis, Bo...

Pull on some tonight pants and wrap yourself in your most stylish snuggie, because today we’re talking about fashion. Ann and Christy are not exactly style icons, but that doesn’t stop them from digging into a variety of clips that showcase the fashion choices of TBTL’s most image-conscious host. This episode is chock full of Luke’s rules (no shorts on men), boasts (we just don’t understand his fa...

Nobody’s attended more TBTL events than Christy (except Luke, I guess), so she and Ann get together for this quick minisode to recap the TBTL Night at the Mariners event from September. Hey, it’s our podcast, so we can post an episode whenever we want! It was an evening full of fun moments, including a hilarious Hanna Brooks Olsen, Luke’s fly dance moves, the pursuit of one of Ellie’s life ambitio...

How many podcasters does it take to determine if that’s a mole or a skin tag? None on this show, thankfully. But, five of us have gathered anyway for this week’s TBTL Week in Review, just in case. Some of us are trying to moderate our frustration with Luke and Andrew with varying levels of success. Others are just trying to stamp out forest fires. In other news, Bobby is too busy for last names, H...
