This Show Has Everything

Grab your box of Fruit Adventure Tic Tacs, because it’s time for another recap of TBTL: The Week That Was. Ann, Mike, and Meredith have gathered around the scallop banana hotdish ( ick ) to rehash the latest in Massholes, our issues with Serial season 3, how many weed lobsters one needs to eat to get high, feline predatory instincts, and plenty of other topics. Why is Meredith sympathizing with Ge...

It’s the final Friday of the month, so the gang’s gathered together to make sure we can close the Johnson account with sparkling clean teeth. First, Mike tells us all about his long-awaited trip back to the Pacific Northwest, including an important lesson he learned about traveling with prosthetics. We dig into a bunch of Throw Your Phone submissions that range from questions about different color...

It’s the crack of 9am Central, and Hillary (not THIS Hillary), Bobby (not THIS Bobby) and Meredith (not THIS Meredith) have run recklessly back and forth across McGrath Highway in Summahville to bring you this new TBTL Week in Review. (Now with a Soy Option!) Served between piles of take-and-bake pizzas and colorful, untouched crudités platters, we’re really thinking this could be the episode that...

Fueled by lukewarm rosé and cold water from various bottles discussed only briefly in passing (you’re welcome), Bobby, Hillary and Ann are staying up late on Friday to recap the latest week of TBTL. Plus, find out why Bobby is in Worcester, Hillary is in bed, and Ann is clearing her Google image search history. This episode brought to you by Occam’s Razors, the simplest choice in shaving. This wee...

Pull your shirt up over your face, hide beneath a blanket, or do whatever it is you need to do to get through this, because it’s time for some embarrassing stories. One of the great things about our TBTL friendos is their willingness on a regular basis to dredge up the most unfortunate and cringeworthy things that have happened to them. Many of these stories have been covered on this podcast alrea...

The newly minted LRB coven of Meredith, Hillary, and Ann Come Together in this episode to cast some spells against the Patriarchy, hex the current political power players, and direct our evil eye toward Michael Pollan and Gwyneth Paltrow. (By the by, Luke, we tend to dislike her for reasons other than that she’s “perfect” and has a good relationship with her ex-husband.) It was kind of a rough wee...

This week your LRB hosts are all under the weather in different ways, but we’re soldiering on to bring you the TBTL week in review. We’ve got a plethora of topics, including duplexing tips from Missy Elliott, new fall menu items for McDonalds, and an existential question about whether life is worth living without the noodles. Bobby ran himself into a froggy state (complete with sound effects), Mer...

Bobby, Ann, Hillary, Christy and Mike aren’t sure if Little Red Bandwagon can have a true river show, but they are sure they can successfully be derailed from most of their (admittedly thin) show sheet for this end-of-the-month Friday special by a message from an anonymous listener in the mailbag. On the upshot, we did still read a bunch of listener emails, unlike some shows we know. Plus, queso e...

Mike, Ann, and Hillary are back at it again with the black Chucks to recap another week of TBTL, and in between our “attaboys” to one other, we’ve got a few things we’d like to discuss. Our TBTL boys are now both off Facebook, and we agree that was probably a good decision. Luke is already rebuilding his karmic imbalance with his Live Wire fibs, and Andrew should either change the show or stop apo...

Join the I-35 Crew: The Next Generation of Ann, Mike and Hillary as we start the show with a surprising amount of bra talk, then move on to the week in TBTL. Along with a lively debate over the seminal work of a-ha, we concoct a strategy to get the guys to Larrimah, Australia, sing the praises (sorta) of Billy Joel, and address the appropriate way to discuss suicide and mental health issues in a p...

It’s getting towards the end of summer, and Meredith, Hillary, Ann and Mike are trying to capitalize on the days we have left. Some of us are reading our Nancy Drews on our bunkbeds at the cabin, while some are bawling our eyes out over in the Documentary Corner ™, but we all made time to check in on our lovable TBTL dummies’ latest shenanigans. Luke came out of the whole boat crash situation abou...

Our TBTL friendos spend a lot of time talking about their daily lives, so it’s no surprise that their animals are part of the fabric of the show. But what about the furry friends who came before? Ann and Christy decide it’s high time to take a look back at two TBTL pets of yesteryear: Luke’s cat Pagoda and dog MoMo. We debate whether Pagoda’s dignity is eroded by being forced to use the toilet and...

Pontiac Bobby, Subaru Meredith and  Camaro Mike (or is that Camero Meke?)  recap the last two weeks of TBTL Car Talk episodes with approximately the same level of effort and care Luke and Andrew (and Kevin and Genevieve) put into them. Plus, find out why Bobby used to burn through D batteries, Mike missed his senior yearbook picture, and Meredith (apparently) haaaaaad to suck on a tube in an old M...

It’s a special episode of the show as the Little Red Bandwagon (minus Mike) is hanging out in the disgusting, ugly, dumb city of Seattle. After a fun evening with the Wagoneers at Gas Works Park, we’re spending the next day at the lake, and manage to squeeze in a quick debrief of all the fun. Then we go along with the ladies on their Singles tour around the city, which includes conversation about...

On this Final Friday in July, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are getting together to sort through the mailbag, talk about potential Burbank boat names, and discuss a few of our most memorable summer vacations. Some quality Throw Your Phone™ entries from the Wagoneers get us thinking about how Mike has ruined things, planning to ambush Luke with a syringe (it’s for his own good! And listener Scott’s san...

Unlike Luke’s boat, Hillary, Bobby, Ann and Mike are firing on all cylinders, and are ready to co-captain a two-hour pleasure cruise through the latest week of TBTL. Because this week, we are all Jerrys. (The only person happier than us is probably Kevin O’Brien .) Plus, Mike tells his Credit Card Debt Silver Lining Alert™, Ann shares her recent kitchen scare (don’t worry, the cookies for the picn...

Hey, we know you’re busy looking for your new barndominium, but take a break and check in with the LRB crew as we run through the previous week’s TBTL content, thin though it may be. Topics for discussion include sneeze hypocrisy and the perils of living with a sleep scream sneezer, Starship-related PTSD, alcohol-related reasons to go to Canada, documentaries that will make you cry, and some stron...

On this special shameless crossover episode, join our friends Amy and Mitchell from Earbuds and Earworms on a musical exploration of YOUR listener-submitted summer songs! (And don’t forget to subscribe to E&E, because they do cool stuff like this every single week.) While you’re listening, go check out the new shirt (and mug! ) designed by Josh Knisely —husband of Phyllis, father of Gus, socia...

It’s Independence week, and the ladies of LRB are over here just chillin’. We’ve got some decisions to finalize before we gather in Seattle in a few weeks’ time, including the look of the costumes for our upcoming quidditch match at Gas Works Park, and the plan for our Singles tour of Seattle. In this week’s recap of TBTL, we come up with some tips for minimizing on-air allergy noises, figure out...

Neither heat nor illness nor live show jealousy stays Bobby, Ann and Meredith from recapping the latest week of TBTL—in part with a little help from LRB Southern Events Correspondent and Earbuds and Earworms host Amy Sheppard. If you’d like a snack for the journey but you’re on your post-adventure grind, you can either nab a bag of Protes from the GNC down at the intersection of Vanity and Insecur...

Roll down your windows and crank up the volume, because this very special episode of Little Red Bandwagon featuring some of our all-time favorite “club bangers” is the perfect soundtrack for a leisurely cruise down Highway 694. (Maybe just turn it back down a bit for Mike’s stories, especially if you hit traffic.) Plus, we take a quick dip in the LRB Mailbag. Remember, we want to hear YOUR summer...

Grab your bindle and your earbuds, because on this special TBTL-A-Thon Week in Review , Meredith, Hillary, Bobby and Mike join the Tens Across America celebrating what makes our fan community great. (Because even when we’re throwing our phones, we’re throwing our phones together .) In addition to recapping the highlights and lowlights of TBTL’s hitchhiking (and car-renting) hosts, Hillary and Mere...

The TBTL-athon is fast approaching, and your intrepid LRB hosts are already getting a wee bit tired of hitchhiking “planning”. So, instead of spending much time on Luke’s inexplicable decision to pack only black shirts and Andrew’s steadfast desire to wear pants in the searing southern summer heat, Hillary, Ann and Mike are ready to debate how much moon dust the government actually needs, puzzle o...

Don’t fill up at batting practice—Bobby, Ann and Flapjack Daddy Mike are breaking down a suite-full of hot dog stories, not to mention some actual thoughtful conversations about racism, depression and skyjinx karma. By the way, Bobby has started riding his bike again. And by the way, Ann thinks Bunnicula has plausible deniability. Oh and by the way, Mike knows he invented the term “hot dog story,”...

The bowling alley is a place that looms large in the minds of our friendos, so Ann and Christy decide it’s time to grab our custom bowling shoes and hipster mustaches, as we take a trip back in time (and cleanliness) to explore TBTL’s love of the good ol’ American bowling alley. We mourn the changing city landscape that leaves no room for the alleys of our youth, agree with Luke that Lucky Strikes...
