This Show Has Everything

Grab your old sleeping bag, a few beef sticks, and your favorite printer because it's time to load up the DeLorean and take a road trip back in time with Christy as she revisits TBTL live shows outside of Seattle. Is Jen the Kanye of Grannies? What happens when a comedian drinks too much back stage? Should you bring a first date to a TBTL event? Is John Mayer a doucher? All these questions and mor...

Hold the podcatcher! Bobby, Ann and Meredith just got off a connecting episode, and refuse to look stupid running across the Zune Marketplace to make it to your latest TBTL Week in Review on time. If we get stuck, we might have to drive a fartlocker full of smoked meats and roasted kale to you, or worse—fly coach. With our luck we’ll end up in a middle seat between two fidget spinner-ers. If you w...

When you day-drink pinot grigio in 85 degree heat and you're a delicate flower of a Seattleite, what could go wrong? Worst case scenario you pass out sleep it off under a tree because you're too embarrassed to go home. And then: time to go in to work! That's just a day in the life of our own Jen Andrews almost exactly eight years ago, and we celebrate that anniversary on this week's Little Red Ban...

It’s officially unofficial summer at the Little Red Bandwagon, and we’ve got so much going on we hardly know where to start. Mike, Ann and Meredith are ready to inflate the LRB hot air balloon and try to sneak up on those runaway turtles. Mike abandons any pretense of neighborliness as he asserts his sandwich rights, Ann inexplicably talks about tree cancer, and we want you to visit Meredith’s mom...

Grosse Pointe Ten Sydney McIlroy joins Meredith and Bobby to listen back to the time Dr. Jerkington III—a proud alum of Judgement Tech—called Jen Andrews’ beloved Mr. Knightly “fat.” (He may have been right; he was still a jerk.) We also talk about our own pets, and piece together memories formed between stiff drinks at the St. Paul live show. Speaking of stiff, we’re confident you’ll like this ep...

Greetings Friendos, we're interrupting your regularly scheduled programming for two special pieces of LRB news. 1. We've added some items to our store! Head on over to www.tenseventen.com/store or click the "Shop" button in the menu to view our new shirts, sweatshirts, totes and mugs featuring a special design crowdsourced by the Tens of listeners. 2. Save the date - August 18th 2017, we're going...

Bobby, Meredith and a John Rose Oval-adjacent Ann take a break from the never-ending pursuit of their PhDs in Podcastery to navigate a frenzy (or is it a gam?) of TBTL tangents from sharks to carnies and every dangerous and disgusting topic inbetween. (We’re looking at you, Buddig hamwater.) Plus, Bobby has an idea for a new reality cooking show, Meredith wants to study the correlation between alc...

Psst! Get your lab coats and safety goggles, and don’t let Mike know where you’re going, because Meredith and Ann are stepping into the LRB lab to bring you a clip show all about TBTL and science. First, we talk about how we became scientists, what exactly we do for our jobs (because let’s face it, it’s kind of complicated and everybody’s too scared to ask), and what kind of challenges we face as...

Bobby, Meredith and Ann are ready to check you in for your pod-stay here at the reasonably appointed Hotel Walsh. Inexplicably in the heart of the Scottsdale Stag District, amenities include complimentary 24-hour DJ service, bespoke Bluetooth Zune docks in every room, and ample alleyways for abandoning undonatable but semi-functional refuse. Our gift shop features an extensive collection of stuff...

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and most of us at Little Red Bandwagon are off getting ready to see (or avoid) our moms this weekend. So, here’s a particularly meta LRB Instant Classic™ from one year ago, when Bobby, Mike and Phyllis listened back to the time Luke, Jen and Sean all interviewed their moms on TBTL, and then gushed about their own childhoods. Sure, your brother might be a lawyer, and your...

Today, Mike and Ann welcome guest host and Tube Full of Loot™ winner Naomi Hillyard on the third mic to talk tattoos, cults, and our honest opinion of Shirley Temple’s talent. We cover a veritable buffet of TBTL topics, including a battle for supremacy between candy-colored coffee drinks, whether preparing a frozen lasagna after eating a burger should really qualify as shame-eating or something el...

Park close to the door and drag your Little Red Bandwagon straight to the pierogi station, where Ann, Mike and Phyllis are serving Generation snaX some middle-aged disdain. Stroll through the aisles of competitive parenting and grab a bag of miniature oranges for soccer later. On your way out linger over a jumbo pack of hot takes on the complex Burbank family feelings about a Seattle original: Cos...

Don’t listen to that dorkus malorkus Siri trying to direct you to The Gist —you definitely want to steer your podcatcher to Bobby, Ann and Mike recapping the latest week of the Peabody-adjacent TBTL. It may not be as addictive as a questionably shady home poker game or as stimulating as an inevitably damp Reader’s Digest, but it’ll definitely get you where you’re looking to go, unless you’re looki...

Public radio listener, coffee drinker, cigar lover, Chipotle enthusiast and newly minted Little Red Bandwagon official counsel (at least in Tennessee) Caleb Gelineau joins Bobby and Meredith for a trip to the Stool Capital of the World as we listen back to TBTL’s classic “Why it Matters: Waiting for Guffman.” Plus, growing up religious like Luke and Jen, tips for curating a Tinder profile, and eve...

Meredith, Bobby and the once-again bipedal Mike go HAM on the latest week of TBTL, and answer the great questions of life, including but not limited to: Should jeans be washed? What TBTL producer emeritus should hide Shia LaBeouf? What’s the co-pay on Rick Rizzs’ hair insurance? Why is this gyrocopter only $400? And, most importantly, why Scottsdale? Plus, Red Robin napkins, Taco Bell trash, pract...

Burn your bra and grab a copy of The Feminine Mystique, because we’re venturing into the world of One and a Half Men. Ann and Christy, along with Very Special Guest Mansplainer Bob Stein, are here to take on TBTL’s occasional treatment of lady issues. We catch up with what’s been happening in Bob’s life since the last time he joined us on LRB (Episode #91: Casserole Playing), consider how we feel...

It’s bathroom #demoday at Burbank Springs, and Bobby, Meredith and Ann are just trying to recap the latest week of TBTL while avoiding the sketchy element down at the local Lowes. Thankfully, we’ve learned what not to do courtesy of the Bryant Park Project, we’ve got a lead on some “cute” overalls, and—despite an examination of subpar lobster and an extensive Burger King Tangent Tracker—most (*mos...

Find your camera, grab your helmet, and scoot on over to the Little Red Bandwagon where this week Aaron Roden of the You Blu It! podcast shares a TBTL clip that hit him a little close to home. In 2013 a picture of Andrew was leaked, leading to a Facebook attack on his masculinity. Aaron joins Christy and Mike to defend Andrew and all scootabouters, as well as tell a harrowing story about the worst...

Hi, stranger. Last week things got a little strained in the TBTL-verse, but we’ll always make room for you on the LRB escalator! Come and join the conversation riot with Mike, Meredith, and Ann as we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly & Extremely Upsetting. We’re talking taxes, T-rexes, S-Bux(es) and more. Things you need to know: smoking some Chris Haze will not help you understand Ch...

"You're all liars!" That was Jen's message in 2009 to Tens who assured her night guards are fine. Well, they're not, and LRB is putting the system on trial: we're taking the dental industry to Night Guard Court. In this month's Phyllis Phave, Meredith and Phyllis recount their histories with night guards, bite splints, retainers and other humbling dental apparatuses. So suck up that saliva, admit...

Mike, Meredith and Bobby are DTP—that’s “down to pod”—and heading over to the mercado for a muy caliente deal on limes before recapping the latest week of TBTL, but only after taco talk, and taking a tour of the greatest consolation party ever dreamed in the theatre of the mind. All four of our economical and efficient Toyota cylinders are fired up and there’s a seat left open for you, so climb in...

March is #trypod month! (As if you didn’t already know.) In that spirit, we at Little Red Bandwagon have compiled clips of some of our favorite non-TBTL podcasts to expand your horizons, along with a little background on why we love them. Join Ann and Bobby for this special tour through our wide-ranging tastes. And when you’re done, find a luddite, and teach him or her how to download a podcast, b...

This week, we’re all heroes at LRB. Mike saved his family from conflict by sharing a heartfelt moment, even if it was only because his wires were tapped. Ann brazenly rejects the idea of “Gleeification,” despite only being our third-favorite babysitter. And Bobby offers to put his life and body on the line to settle whether or not Taco John’s is any good—if you’ll pay for the trip. And on top of a...

This week, Mike and Ann are joined by Sarah Mulrooney, proud BosTen, shaper of young minds, and someone who likes a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio. Mike repurposes an old game for a round of Make Sarah Mad, Ann has questions about culinary offerings at boarding schools, and Sarah shares the time she got into a Facebook beef with Luke. Then we go back to the “Saddest Day in TBTL History” and listen to...

Based on Luke’s holiday accent and the sharp spike in the number of phone-throwings lately, it seems the Luck o’ the Irish has been too busy partying every weekend to grace us. But have no fear: Bobby, Ann, and special guest co-host Mike Farnan (i.e. the new and improved, two-legged Mike) are here to navigate this not-technically-a-blimp through your frustration, patch up any rough spots with red...
