TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live

Revelations about a megastar's own private Benihana Restaurant has Luke jealous as hell. Andrew has big plans tomorrow night and he tries to brag about them without bragging. We also play a lot of Gordon Lightfoot and discuss all those ketchup packets that you've been accumulating in your glove box.

Andrew checks-in after being trapped in an "escape room" in downtown L.A. last night. He and Luke also discuss the "honey do lists" and "mancaves" of highly productive extraterrestrials, a Jeopardy! meltdown, and why the Tens say Andrew should like Randy Newman songs.

Andrew has accepted an offer to go on an LA adventure that combines many things that make him extremely uncomfortable. Luke wants to know why. They also discover a website that teaches them how to be funny, and they fight about Billy Joel vs. Randy Newman. Plus, they discuss the end of the Seahawks season in No Point Conversion.

Luke and Andrew discuss the bizarre story of a city official who asked a bus driver to dress up like an old woman for a press conference in front of a senior center. Plus, Phyllis "Fletch" Fletcher joins us to dole out some advice to a listener who finds herself in an awkward situation. And we share some Music For Your Weekend!

Luke corrects the record for Andrew when it comes to one of the most popular films of the 1980s  and one of the most popular fast food restaurants of the '80s. There's also a story involving a researcher's notebook and an imaginary pile of poo. And we hear a bunch of songs that sample "Son of a Preacher Man."

Luke has finally gotten his hands on the book that helped him and his family prepare for end times back in the 1980s. Andrew is suffering from a minor malady and also is curious why there haven't been more "Blair Walsh Project" jokes on Twitter. Speaking of Blair Walsh, we hear from a bunch of little kids who are trying to cheer up the ill-fated kicker.

Luke joins the show from a broken down boat with a broken down computer. Andrew is mad at his neighbors and the New York Times. They also discuss Sesame Street's upcoming season on HBO and why the email segment is scaring some listeners.

Luke and Andrew reflect on the passing of David Bowie, Sean Penn's interview with El Chapo, and why Jim Carrey is the new Kanye West. Plus, Stu "The StuBot" Neuman joins us for a very emotional No Point Conversion.

The cosmic sounds of Donovan return to TBTL in this Friday afternoon edition of the show. Luke and Andrew also discuss the origins of the song "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" and why talk radio needs more rock and less talk. Plus, Music For Your Weekend!

Things get real when Luke describes his solo trip to the movies last night. Andrew admits that he's still chasing the Holden Caulfield dragon at age 39. Plus, Twitter is about to get a lot less Twittery, and a band angers its most ardent fans by reuniting. And the StuBot has a new favorite podcast (and some football analysis.)

Luke is on a new diet that involves fake cheese. Meanwhile, Johnny Manziel allegedly assumed a fake identity and disguise so he could party in Las Vegas. Luke and Andrew also have their first drop-battle. And they delve back into Making a Murderer.

Luke and Andrew are back with big plans for the new year. Some of them are lofty and life-changing goals. Others involve trying to remember the name of John C. Reilly. Also, Luke is finished watching "Making a Murderer", so he and Andrew swap their theories about the murder case it's based on (spoiler alert.) And, in No Point Conversion, it's a great day to be a Seahawks fan. But a Browns fan? Not...

Andrew interrupts Luke's lunch at a Bellevue dumpling restaurant to find out how New Year's Eve went for the Burbank clan. And we listen back to an OG TBTL from 2009 that the Tens of Listeners spent all week hunting down.

Luke and Andrew finally come up with some great Y2K jokes as 2015 draws to a close. Also, some say George R.R. Martin may never write another Song of Ice and Fire book, and George R.R. Lucas is not the biggest fan of the new Star Wars movie.

Luke's brother is on the front lines in a war against Canadian grocery store pirates. Turns out, Andrew once interviewed one of those very pirates. Also, Luke and Andrew are obsessed with the Netflix documentary "Making a Murderer", but they don't spoil anything (so you should listen.) And the TBTL Tens have a new important mission to accomplish.

Luke has a new personal appliance that he tries out during the show. Plus, a newscaster loses consciousness on the air, Andrew has some issues in a Hollywood bathroom, and researchers think they know why you might not poop as much on vacation.

Luke and Andrew hop in a time machine and go back to the time they hopped in a car and drove to Arby's.

Luke and Andrew listen back to a very special pizza-based episode of TBTL featuring their friends Sean DeTore, Bill Radke and The Mummy.  They also consider upping their sound-effects game.

TBTL's week of food-based micro-casting continues as Andrew, Luke and former TBTL blogger Brent Flyberg sample Luke's first pot of homemade soup. Also, Peyton Manning's latest Nationwide commercial is more of an emotional tone piece.

Luke and Andrew revisit the booze-soaked, burger-loaded days of Spring 2012, when Luke, Libby Denkmann, Rachel Belle and Sean DeTore competed in a cheeseburger-eating competition in the KIRO newsroom.

Luke and Andrew go down memory lane to revisit what is now known as "The Original Hot Dog Story," even though it turns out that it's not really the original hot dog story. But it definitely fits the definition of a hot dog story.

Phyllis "Fletch" Fletcher joins Andrew to talk about a reporter who decided to exact revenge against a rude reader and whether he went to far. Plus, in a TBTL first, we hear from Andrew's dad, who's got a few things to say about TV commercials. And Luke calls in with some words of advice.
