This Show Has Everything

Bobby, Ann and Meredith get an earlier-than-usual, reverb-free jump on the TBTL Week in Review so Meredith can help with Harvey relief efforts—if she can pass a background check. (If not, we’ll just get her to lead a rosé-fueled yoga class instead.) Thankfully, that’ll give Ann more time to find the perfect place to hang her recockulous mother-and-corndog/child portrait, and Bobby more time to gig...

Take out your Bluetooth ® and adjust your tone, sir, because it’s time to sit and politely listen to LRB’s latest Phirst Phriday Phyllis Phave Edition! Phyllis joins Bobby for a listen back to two clips from September 2008 when Jen’s resolve to be the change (in manners) she wants to see in the world is put to the test, would-be Azteca appetizer-scammers be damned. Plus, Phyllis gives us the bitte...

After last week’s excitement at the LRB picnic, your hosts are all happy to be back in our home studios. Despite all the traveling we’ve done recently, we’re confident that nobody on this podcast rode their skateboard through the Haggens’ parking lot, or got crunched by a seat recliner on the plane, or took out a planter with their vehicle (actually, scratch that last one).  We’ve got your latest...

What, you think Luke and Andrew are the only ones who can record on a boat? Join Bobby, Ann, Meredith, Christy, special guests and at least one child we would later find out was an unintentional stowaway for a listen back to the sounds of the LRB Summer Picnic on August 18th! We’ve got clips from many super Wagoneers (and a few confused 11s) who braved Seattle traffic, parking lot RV meth labs, an...

Mike is on the line like Charlie Townsend, corralling Christy, Ann, Meredith and Bobby (Bosley?) who are gathered on the shore of Pipe Lake in beautiful Kent, WA, for a very special 80%-in-person TBTL Week in Review that’s almost as satisfying as a little red wine, a Twix bar and a ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. Between the community chop saw, fast food marketing talk and some dirty clown love (f—ing...

This is the show Mike never DREAMED would happen. You might say it’s his worst NIGHTMARE, but we think you shouldn’t SNOOZE in case you miss anything. Okay, okay, we can’t tell you the topic of this show, but we can give you a preview of just a few of the things Christy and Ann talk about in it. There’s an extended conversation about the sexiness (or not) of Kevin Costner. Also, a reference to a “...

It’s a special all-ladies recap, and Christy, Meredith and Ann are here with the hot topics and cool takes on the most recent week of TBTL. Luke made the false assumption that you can have too many desserts at a potluck, Andrew made the false assumption that everyone will appreciate medium rare burgers at his cookout, and we made the false assumption that the guys wouldn’t need to spend 20 minutes...

Gold star archivist and our #1 favorite Jeremy (Jeremy Auer) joins Christy and her 6th-favorite co-host (Bobby) from Gresham, Oregon—Underground Poker Capital of the World™—for a listen back to the time Luke, Andrew and guest Lynn Shelton discussed bad customer service (and bad customers) (Luke) instead of talking about her latest film. In addition to our own job worsts and firsts, we explore why...

Live from the Bucking Beaver Bar, Bobby, Ann and Meredith recap the second week of Andrew at the helm of TBTL, and his Build Your Own Guest Host Grand Slam of Ders , Bean and Phyllis has us more excited than a couple of Cracker Ballers on their way to a grand opening ribbon cutting. Plus, Bobby needs a grandson, Ann’s hair is a crow magnet, and Meredith googled “Diplo potato” so you don’t have to....

Pour a tall chalice of gin & juice and relax into your gangster lean as we flash back to August 2008, when Luke flashed back to November 2001, when, for $5, he inadvertently accepted a standup gig at a pimp convention. HistoriTens: Which brother was harder for Luke to follow? The warmup act at the Oregon Bankers' Association about a decade later, or the pimp convention emcee Mr. Mookie? Which...

It’s a love fest over at the LRB! Even though Luke’s on vacation, a week of delightful guest hosts and great content has left Bobby, Meredith, and Ann with more put-ups than we know what to do with. We try to figure out if someone’s trolling Andrew over the Wallingford Parking Wars (it wasn’t us, honest!), take a surprisingly melancholy walk down memory lane, and ponder whose job it should have be...

With Luke on vacation this week and Song of the Shambles well underway, we at LRB decided: You could use a little Burbank in your life. Some fun music talk wouldn’t hurt. We deserve a break, too. So, join Bobby and special guest-host Amy from the Earbuds & Earworms Podcast for a trip into the LRB Archives for a chat from way back in 2015 with perhaps our favorite Burbank of them all, * David ....

Put down that homemade kombucha, stop chewing on those cotton balls and just sit down on the seat already, because it’s time for an old-fashioned levia- thon of commentary. This week, Ann earns the coveted Purple Carcass for surviving another round of stock talk, Bobby comes up with a scone-based analogy to explain the difference between cement and concrete, and Mike yells a lot for a guy who is g...

Step on up to the bar, order a shot and a beer from the tough-as-nails lady wearing the cat sweatshirt, and get ready to embrace your rage, because this month’s clip show is all about the Big Dog. Luke is famous for his temper, so Ann and Christy are here to share some memorable TBTL times when things got … a little heated. Mostly, we try to answer the question, ‘Is Luke a jerk, or the best friend...

Live from a suburban campsite, a childhood bedroom and a pre-Fiesta (TX) home base, Bobby, Meredith and Mike (respectively) dodge the heat and tens of thrown phones while recapping a week of TBTL that included an unexpected picnic announcement, bad sports jargon (including Prince getting some *hm-hmm*) and the official launch of what appears to be the 2017 Song of Luke and Andrew’s Summer Contest....

LA Ten (by way of White Bear Lake, Minn.) Mike Farnan is back, and joins “old” Mike (Frizzell) and the Nice Lady Christy Wise for a listen back to the time Luke thought it was a good idea to eat his weight in green room Boston Market creamed spinach and mashed potatoes before a Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! taping. (Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.) Mike, Mike and Christy also share their own poop stories....

Climb on board, guys – it’s time for another TBTL recap, and Mike, Ann and Meredith are driving the podcast party bus. We’d like to make a stop at the Chicken Window on our way to see the classic Freddie Prinze Jr. movie Summer Catch , but if we see a rat, we’re outta there. Over at LRB Studios, we’re lovingly cradling the shattered remains of our thrown phones as we shed a tear over the apparent...

Sometimes wet underwear is not your fault. It's not always pee, OK? But sometimes it is. This week Phyllis reports live from Lopez Island, just across from Mike Frizzell's ancestral plot on Mud Bay. Mud Bay would make a serviceable euphemism for a poo pile, and speaking of euphemisms for excretory events, we hear the best TBTL-ism for peeing your pants, first uttered by Jen at Jesus Creek. Plus Lu...

Live from our secret hiding spot behind the co-op’s kombucha counter, it’s Little Red Bandwagon! Don’t worry—Bobby, Meredith and Ann aren’t driving, on probation, or negotiating an NFL contract anytime soon. We are, however, intercepting many of your thrown phones as we navigate a recap with more hot takes than a Frank Gehry -inspired metal bowl full of mozzarella and “bee dookie.” Between our res...

In this special Fifth Friday edition of Little Red Bandwagon, Christy, Mike and Bobby peel back the curtain for a wide-ranging round-up of (mostly non-TBTL) topics we’ve been meaning to get to, including but not limited to new LRB merch , the heartfelt (and strategically manipulative) letter Mike wrote to the sellers of the house he and Emily want to buy, why Bobby’s been both busy and emotionally...

Hi, pod friendos! Welcome to LRB HQ – doesn’t the yard look great? Since we’re all a bunch of desk monkeys, we had a couple of buff dudes take care of the landscaping. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable as Mike, Meredith, and Ann recap last week’s TBTL. We’ve got a couple of drinks we can offer – would you prefer a $9 glass of sugar, or a shot of whiskey? (If you’re real nice, we might...

Mike and Bobby are joined by Bonney Lake Ten and Seattle Seahawks 12 Kalena Rogers to talk pets, pineapple on pizza, and the time Luke (in Seattle) and Andrew (in LA) recorded their experiences during Seattle’s (spoiler alert) Super Bowl win in 2014. Never look a gift pizza in the face, and try not to think about how Kalena’s half pitbull / half chihuahua was conceived—it’s a mystery for the ages....

Bobby and Mike are joined by special guest co-host, historiTen, Wagon Full of Loot™ winner and unabashed rental RV bathroom user Megan Keane, who opens her mystery prize live on the show! In addition to our TBTL Week in Review (which also includes a cruel Tim Hortons road sign and a dim sum strategy for avoiding execution), be sure to listen through to the end of the show for an LRB  INVESTIGATES...

Don your scrufduggers and guard your Four Hole—it’s time to look back on Luke and Andrew’s week on the road with Big Baby Kevin. Mike, Ann and a bedraggled-sounding Bobby break down the guys’ surprising lack of breakdowns, from the check engine “soon” light outside of Boise to the seemingly endless list of idioms courtesy of Texas Monthly magazine. Plus, we get an audio postcard from M&M in th...

Buckle up that seatbelt, charge your laser baldness helmet and climb on in to the mobile fart locker 2 as your LRB hosts Ann and Christy take us on a road trip of our own! From Poland to right next door, we speak with Tens of listeners (and their elevens) before and after the TBTL live show at Stubbs BBQ in Austin Texas.
