TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live

Luke has finally found true happiness, and he has video to prove it. Plus, a listener sheds some important light on Luke's recent adventures at The Home Depot. And a drunk newscaster gives it her all in Albany.

Luke joins the show from Port Townsend, where he's falling in love with the small maritime village all over again. Meanwhile, Andrew (and his camera) got teased on the bus recently. And two Oregon cities are battling over a claim to "the world's smallest park."

Andrew does some old-fashioned, shoe-leather reporting at his local Subway shop to find out what's really going on with the restaurant's menu changes. He and Luke also offer a somewhat delayed review of No Country For Old Men. And they discuss the rise of "GentleMinions", who are disrupting screenings of the new Minions movie. 

Andrew is very agitated about upcoming changes to the sandwich menu at Subway. Luke had a real scare with his cat, Bubbles, this morning. And a listener needs help navigating a small-ish issue with his neighbor.

Luke and Andrew began their 4th of July Weekend hoping to get a lawnmower and a dog, respectively. Today they report back on their adventures. 

Luke's attempts to get his hands on a lawnmower continue throughout the show, as he receives many updates and mixed messages from hardware stores around the Pacific Northwest. Plus, the internet is desperately trying to find the woman who won almost all the cooking prizes at a Virginia-Kentucky district  fair.

Andrew's dog-ological clock is ticking again, Luke runs into issues buying a new lawnmower, and the Marsupial Gurgle website is entering a new phase of life.

Bubbles the Cat got up to a lot of trouble in Luke's studio yesterday, almost completely sabotaging today's show. Plus, employees at Medieval Times want to unionize, Bed, Bath and Beyond stores may be cutting air conditioning to save money, and AirBNB says "no more parties!"

Andrew went to the dump yesterday, where he hoped to avoid getting "hollered at." Results were mixed. Plus, Luke is in email hell. And a drunk man in Japan lost a thumb drive containing personal and banking information of a half a million people.

Andrew's War On Blackberries leads to an encounter with a new neighbor. Luke almost struck a deal with the world's sketchiest electrician. And a listener shares an incredibly cringy story from the workplace.

Andrew went to war with blackberry bushes this weekend. Luke took his shirt off at a pool party. And a Mariners fan somehow managed to get pizza delivered to a bummed-out baseball player at Angel Stadium during a game. 

Luke and Andrew try to process the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs Wade. Plus, Andrew got fired from a job yesterday. (Sorry, it wasn't TBTL.) 

After hearing from many listeners, Luke has a new theory as to why some characters pronounce the word "bear" like "bar." Andrew disagrees. Plus, a sriracha shortage may be around the corner, and a photojournalist captures a breathtaking moment as a swimming coach makes an underwater rescue.

Luke taste-tests the new "Healthy Coke" alternative, which is essentially vinegar and water. Andrew does not. Plus, Luke met Russell Wilson last night and encouraged him to reprise his Mr. Unlimited character.

Luke and Andrew discuss foldable shovels, tents you can't touch in the rain, and how time-lapse photography is getting Luke through his renovation projects. 

The universe tried to thwart Luke's plans to enjoy an outdoor concert this weekend, but fun prevailed! Plus, Bubble The Cat gives Luke a scare, and a TBTL Ten teaches the boys something important about beach tar.

Andrew and Luke (with a little help from the New York Times ) dig deep into the charming and fascinating story behind the "Jiggle Jiggle" rap that's taken over TikTok and the world. 

Listeners go into deep sleuth mode to try to find the origins of Luke's new favorite photo of Andre the Giant. Plus, competing op-eds in the Washington Post debate the pros-and-cons of digital QR code menus in restaurants. 

Luke and Andrew marvel over "Fake Klay Thompson'' getting access to the court at the NBA Finals because he kind of sort of looks a little like the real Klay Thompson. Plus, Luke stumbles on the coolest photograph he's ever seen, and he needs help tracking it down. 

Sweden has rolled out some sexy-talking garbage cans and Andrew is not into it. Meanwhile, the Space Needle owners are suing a coffee company over a logo that subtly uses the shape of the Space Needle, leading Luke to wonder about the legal status of tossed salad and scrambled eggs. (They're calling again.) 

A listener stumbles on a sketch that looks like Andrew…or does it? That's the debate. Plus, Luke's attempts to return a demolition tool go sideways at Home Depot.

Luke got a taste of the sweet new Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me digs last night. And Andrew has a new catch phrase. And scientists are checking their hypotenuses on water consumption for humans.

Luke's seatmate on his trip to Chicago has him thinking about the world at large, and how he moves through it. Meanwhile, Andrew's trying to figure out a dang meme and his dang Ticketmaster app, each to no avail.

Luke is considering a "dopamine reset", while Andrew learns that he really got away with something on his recent trip to the King County dump. 

Luke and Andrew try to discuss their respective Britta water filters without sounding tooooo fancy. Plus, Luke destroyed part of his home with a mini-hammer yesterday…and he's just getting started!
