TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live

NASA is looking for help to make it easier to poop in space. Britain's new currency is angering vegans. And Luke and Andrew don't know what to do with 19 cents.

Luke and Andrew discuss the evolution of Tom Shane's jewelry ads and why he might be everyone's new step-dad. Then they go down a Nintendo-inspired nostalgia hole and discuss the best-named wrestlers of the 1980s.

A publicity stunt involving dead fish under ice backfires in Japan. Luke is surprised. Plus, Andrew's never-ending cold is not such a mystery, when you think about it. And, in No Point Conversion, the Seahawks lose and Andrew's going to miss the Super Bowl this year.

Luke and Andrew prepare a giant plate of TBTL leftovers - topics that they were supposed to discuss on the show this year, but never got around to. In the spirit of Black Friday, things get dark very quickly.

Luke, Andrew, Carey and Genevieve join together in the kitchen to make some delicious Thanksgiving treats. Hilarity (and danger) ensue.

Luke and Andrew get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday and end up discussing grammar, bathroom habits, and whether it's worth going to Costco for whipping cream.

Andrew tells his epic story of computer repair gone wrong. Luke is having a chewing gum-related crisis. They also discuss a lawsuit over sausage and their complicated feelings regarding unicycles.

A Canadian lawmaker made international news after using the "f-word" in parliament. But not the f-word you're thinking of. Luke and Andrew discuss that, Luke's plans to watch The Godfather, and the Seahawks' win in No Point Conversion.

As Luke waits for a call from his doctor's office, he and Andrew discuss his opinions on voting, and whether they've changed since the presidential election. Other topics include the science of fingernail biting, Luke's hoop dreams, and Music for Your Weekend. Special thanks to  Joseph Thole and  Louis Melancon for supporting today's episode. 

Three days of a juice diet has had an unexpected affect on Luke. He and Andrew discuss their favorite political musical parodist, Bob Dylan's Nobel-level reticence, and a high-level Instagram copycat (who is probably not a troll, even though Andrew hopes she is.) Special thanks to  James De Pietro and  Kat Schmidt for making today's show possible.

Andrew has a cold. Luke just back from the doctor, a little worse for wear. And Olive had a tough time at the vet. They discuss these developments.

Special thanks to  Lindsey Sullivan and  Sadie LaPonsie for supporting today's episode.

Luke joins Andrew at the offices of Walsh, Walsh and Doormat for a update on his juice diet and PodCat's health. They also discuss one man's air-horn-centered revenge plot and Blair Walsh's career setback. Special thanks to  Leslie Frye and  Ingrid Keller for supporting today's episode.

Andrew "Michael Winslow" Walsh creates a new TBTL sound effect on the fly. He and Luke discuss their plans for TBTL under a Trump presidency. They also discuss one of the most charming stories ever related to a smash-and-grab. And they pay tribute to Leonard Cohen with Music For Your Weekend. Special thanks to  Matthew Bourne and  Maggie Stevenson for supporting today's show!

Luke and Andrew try to move on from the election with lighter topics, like prison breaks and famous Albanians. We also get to hear  an actual song from the secret Wu-Tang record that was never meant for our ears. Special thanks to Ian Gorton and Anand Rajaraman for sponsoring today's show!

Luke, Andrew and the TBTL listeners try to find their smiles after last night's election.

Luke and Andrew discuss their election night plans and the future of our democracy. They also talk about football. Special thanks to  Georgia Millward and  Dan Patterson for supporting today's show. 

Luke and Carey come home to an unwanted surprise at Burbank Springs, and we climb into the TBTL Time Machine to remember what the guys said the day Tronald Dump announced he wanted to be President. Also, did Chris Hayes' faustian bargain re: The Cubs World Series Win cost America its future? Thanks to David Short and Mandy Tucker for making today's TBTL possible! 

Jen "Flash" Andrews stops by again to discuss Historic Beer, Lucky Champagne, and what it's *really* like to live in a tiny house. Thanks to David Kruetz and Kate Nickel for making this episode of TBTL possible!   

Jen "Flash" Andrews stops by and discusses Men's Jewelry, Sports Grudges, Lindsey Lohan, and Starbucks "Pup Cups", plus hands out some advice for a listener with a workplace "OPP". Special thanks to Stanford Blade & Jacqeline H. and John Paul Christensen for supporting this episode of TBTL!   

A new documentary about cats leads Luke and Andrew to break down the actual costs of pet ownership, from hamsters to horses. No, literally, from hamsters to horses. Also, Andrew prepares for his trip to Cleveland, and Luke deals with a skin thingy. Special thanks to Martha Zumack and Julie Huffman for supporting this episode of TBTL!

Luke and Andrew compare and contrast their Halloween evenings. (Andrew got everything he could hope for. Luke, not so much.) They also discuss a recently discovered hoax in the world of mixology. Special thanks to Cody Larson and Michael Ford for supporting today's episode!

Andrew and Luke share their Halloween plans. Andrew's are surprisingly curmudgeonly, even by Andrew standards. Plus, per TBTL tradition, we listen back to The Haunting of David Boze. And there's some super scary sport-talk in No Point Conversion! Special thanks to Sam Wolter and Alexia M. and Jeff J. Janecek for supporting today's show!

Luke joins the show from a parking lot in Florida, where he's catching the unwanted gaze of a security guard and a family of raccoons fighting over potato chips. He and Andrew discuss animals in the news, including a woman who angered the internet by complaining about a bodega cat. Special thanks to  Kristen Arntzen and  James Norton for supporting today's show. 

Luke's adventures in Puerto Rico give him the chance to answer the age old question: What happens to fake hair foam when it's drenched in a thunderstorm? He and Andrew also discuss a man who caught a grape in his mouth after it was dropped from the sky and a new dance video that Andrew probably should have ignored. Special thanks to Tina Williams and Deborah Anderson for supporting today's episode...
