This Show Has Everything

It may be 2018, but LRB’s year-end navel-gazing needed a little more time thanks to listeners (and Ann) suggesting so many great clips. Join Mike and Bobby as we explore a loose theme of “girls rule, boys drool,” not by design, but just because that’s what the evidence bears out. The LRB ladies defend science and decency; Mike opens meat with sewing scissors and inadvertently wins (or, loses) a we...

Happy new year! This week’s episodes of TBTL brought tears of (mostly) joy to our misaligned glass eyes. Ann is back from LA, and successfully avoided taking a bite of her adorable nephew who definitely isn’t a corndog. Bobby is remembering a pile of quarters he tried to launder figuratively at a literal laundromat. Meredith is starting a new chapter of her life, for some reason in Detroit. And Mi...

In the spirit of TBTL’s ending the year with an airing of personal regrets, we thought we’d join in! But then we remembered that we don’t have any regrets. So instead, here’s one of our favorite clip shows from 2017 all about times when our usually lovable TBTL hosts let the Big Dog out, with plenty of regret to go around. Enjoy! Our original synopsis from July 21, 2017: #239: Fifty cents and a fr...

It’s time for the second in an occasional series of LRB Best Of clip shows, and this time Christy and Mike are getting together to talk about some memorable moments from everybody’s favorite* LRB host, Ann. We’ve got a trilogy of rants that include two different types of fingers, a “toilet seat too far”, a voice crush that led to us getting in trouble with Luke, and an impromptu commercial read th...

Join the entire LRB gang—including Phyllis!—for the 2017 edition of Little Red Bandwagon’s Very Special Christmas Special. From M&Ms to mac & cheese and apparel to (ahem) adult items, this year’s Secret Santa will keep you guessing to the end, or even longer if you’re Mike. Plus, hear how Ann’s co-workers rallied for an “It’s a Wonderful Life” moment, minus the almost-suicide part. It may...

It was a crowded week of Entitled Etiquette, mourning dive bars, and sea urchin (in a really mushroom-y sauce), so TBTL power commenters Mike, Ann, and Christy have geared up in ¾ length, slightly-too-small running pants (that make our butts look amazing), to break it all down for you. Along the way, we develop a new dating app, debate chocolate croissants vs raisin rolls, and agree that the Mortg...

“You cannot sing ‘parum pum pum pum’ and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.” It’s the holiday season, so we thought we’d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians – you’re welcome, too!). Christy and Ann are ready to share their thoughts on everything from loud ringing bells to NORAD’s Santa Watch. Luke’s obsession with Christmas music leads us into a l...

Fueled by snacks from Philly (thanks Bob!), Bobby, Ann and Mike recap the latest week of TBTL, including Monday’s three-hour leviathon, Luke’s half-words, Andrew “The Human Blanket” and more . Plus, Bobby brings a drug-fueled Cup-date, Mike explains how those Twig & Berries mattresses get you, and Ann googles “Smug Wendy” so you don’t have to. (Really, don’t do it. At least not at work.)

Ann and Bobby kick off LRB’s December to Podmember with a cornucopia of clips from LRB past that are even more satisfying than a six-course soccer snack and a side of mystery dairy. We’ve got one of our Phyllis phaves, an Aaron who was naughty, an Aaron who was nice, a mile-high Meredith and a couple clips of Mike. And of course, dazzling interstitial commentary we know you’ll like. Enjoy!

We know you’re enjoying that smooth repaved highway, but turn down C2C and turn up LRB, because Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Mike are defending the honor of quartets everywhere with a TBTL Week in Review covering almost as many topics as Tim Allen has Christmas movies. On one hand, there’s some serious talk about Luke and Andrew’s serious talk about the long overdue hard rain of truth finally taking d...

For her Phinal Phyllis Phave Phriday, Phyllis Fletcher joins Mike for a listen back to times when alleged “woo girl” Jen Flash Andrews was thrown out of restaurants, and in one instance, given up by a tell-tale pen. Mike shares some of his  own delinquent dining behavior through the years (with apologies to Hoagy’s Corner), and hits Fletch with one more round of his patent-pending gotcha segment,...

Happy Thanksgiving, Wagoneers! You’re all welcome around our post-holiday table, even if you think casseroles are gross and you’re afraid to eat the onion ice cream. Pull a bag of jerky out of your fanny pack and we’ll get down to business; just don’t accept a cup of Kryptonite coffee from Meredith, okay? Luke’s been skateboarding in the airport. Again. Is it bad of us to be hoping, at this point,...

Gather ‘round the dining-pod table as Ann, Bobby, Christy, Meredith and Mike share what they’re thankful for in this Very Special LRB Thanksgiving Special. From family, friends, babies and orthopedists to Netflix , M&Ms , 6ft (or 9ft ) iPhone cables and much more—plus, of course, our listeners—we have plenty to talk about this year.

Don’t mind Mike, Ann and Bobby—they’re just here recapping the latest week of TBTL until your friends return, and awkwardly ask for their spots back. Until then, feel free to fastpod this episode at any speed you like, as long as you laugh at all the spoofs, and stay tuned after for the series premiere of The Eagle & The Cowboy. (Better yet, once you’re done, go listen to GROUP podcast, and or...

“This is what happens when I do this on Percocet.” –Christy Wise Our TBTL friends spend so much time telling “hot dog stories” that we decided it’s high time to talk about the actual thing, and thus we bring you a show with stories about hot dogs. First, we talk about our own relationship with encased protein products: when vegetarian Christy gets drunk, her evening often includes “street meats”,...

If Luke and Andrew are the Bud Lights of the Third Coast Craft Cocktail Conference, and Bobby, Mike and Christy like TBTL, does that make Little Red Bandwagon the Andrew of podcasts about a podcast? Chew on that like a ball of salad on the good side of your mouth washed down with some “wine product” while we break down your latest week of TBTL, catch up with the Nice Lady, join Mike on a Shark Tan...

Someday a hard (?) rain is going to come and wash all the scum off these lanes. Until then, join Bobby, Mike and Buffalo Ten and pastry chef Bet McIlreath for a listen back to the summer day in 2016 when Andrew “Hard Rain” Walsh and guest co-host / adventure buddy Phyllis “Edna” Fletcher hit the road to record an afternoon of bowling and pull tabs at  Kenmore Lanes . Plus, why A Tale of Two Cities...

Join Meredith, Ann and Bobby for your latest TBTL Week in Review as soon as we’re done following chalk messages and spooky signs up a long side street and driveway to a foggy house promising full-size candy bars. What could go wrong? Plus, Meredith is going to Michigan! (In her new car!) Ann is going to Portugal! (Somewhat spontaneously!) Bobby is going to take a nap! (Because he earned it!) And,...

Through the magic of advanced planning, Phyllis Fletcher joins Bobby for a listen back to a pair of Luke’s cringeworthy stories from 2009. Between the awkward phone call from his alleged fiancée’s best friend, to the woman who insisted on helping him pay for some Dick’s, these gems from the radio days will really make you think about the perception of people around you, and that moment in time whe...

It’s another silly/serious episode today at the LRB. On the silly side, Mike, Meredith, and Ann discuss hippo avoidance tactics, our new show sponsor, and the disturbing, yet effective, motivational methods employed by our fantasy Browns head coach. Mike feels that his anti-straw stance has been vindicated. Meredith is still waiting on her check from the New Zealand National Party. Luke may turn A...

It’s Franzia Friday at the Little Red Bandwagon, as Brooklyn Ten Felicia Powell joins Ann and Meredith to talk about everything from politics to local bovine news coverage.  Felicia shares how she got bait-and-switched into the world of TBTL, and why she wrote an email to them that continues to have a big impact to this day. Plus, she teaches us an important fact about our constitutional right (or...

Bobby the Godfather, Mile High Meredith and possible Dirty John victim Mike have turned down the Lincoln Bizkit, cranked up the Kidz Bop and Wagoneers’ Foreigner cover bands, and  slathered  themselves all over your latest TBTL Week in Review with enough Trucktober hot takes to carry us all the way into Trarch. (We’ll still keep putting out shows though.)  Mike has a theory about Andrew’s childhoo...

Hey, can we buy you a shot? How about you? C’mon, have one with us! On this month’s clip show, the topic is the intersection of TBTL and alcohol (let’s call it Part One of a multi-part series…). Here to guide you on this voyage of discovery are Christy and Ann, who are perhaps the two members of the LRB crew least qualified to talk about the subject. Regardless, we shake our heads over the time Lu...

Grab your Beef 'n Cheddar(s), a slice of fresh pie and a side of Szechuan sauce, because it’s a TBTL Week in Review buffet, and we’re serving up a little bit of everything. Everything, that is, except Bobby’s post-vacation tan, Mike’s hot take on straws , and Ann’s feelings about a pubescent Luke’s one-sided relationship with Morganna the Kissing Bandit. It’s probably for the best we’re skipping t...

Despite our very best efforts, the whims of fate prevented us from bringing you an all-new Ten interview episode. After we finished banging our heads on the desk and cursing the USPS, we dug around in the LRB archives and found this fun little gem of an interview that we think deserves a re-listen. Join Christy, Meredith, and listener Treasure as they talk about a certain seasonal trend that’s gon...
