This Show Has Everything

Our pal Luke: charming, witty, fun, and ever-so-slightly unethical. From his intense desire for Charleston Chews and his childhood pal Aaron’s “muscle pullover hoodie” to helping himself to unpaid-for fast food lemonade, Luke’s always willing to share his experiences with minor larceny. And so, to celebrate these trivial transgressions, Christy and Ann are here to bring you a collection of TBTL cl...

It’s been a rough week on TBTL, but there’s no need to Get Jesse James/Jones, because the I-35 Crew of Mike, Meredith and Ann is on the job. We’re fortified by 8 “cups” of coffee and enough Buffalo Frito Pie that the government won’t even want to watch us through our televisions. Our breakdown of last week’s shows includes agreeing that Luke’s pushing the bounds of the concept of the late checkout...

This week, Christy and Ann are joined by Andrea Ballard, co-host of the Preheated podcast and the person you go to when your coworkers won’t stop posting inappropriate pictures on the company intranet. We spend way too much time talking about dessert before stepping into the Wayback Machine to listen to the time Luke and Andrew inexplicably agreed to do a podcrawl review of the “classic” movie Loo...

We may not be that new podcast about Richard Simmons, and we may not be Roomba rich, but we’ve got a solid Mexican martini recipe, a sturdy case for our phone, and a bumper crop of Midwestern accents. Join Christy, Mike, Bobby, Meredith and Ann for a very special Little Red Bandwagon Week in Review that also includes the stories of how each of us caught the hot potato of responsibility that is the...

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher returns to take Mike and Bobby back in time via shame spiral to a divey, smoky “steakhouse,” and the time an emboldened Jen “Flash” Andrews tried (and, unfortunately for Jason) succeeded in talking her way onstage with the band. Her actual performance? Not so hot. If only that band knew anything from the catalog of Bonnie Raitt. While we have her, Fletch updates us...

Noted anti-anti-semite Meredith Mahan is on the road, coping with some sad news with help from a Mexican martini from an off-mic Frizzell, and an opinionated, interrupting Edith in Orkin Studios at the Kyle Insect Museum. Hover on over to our pod-hovel where she joins Bobby “in league with Emma Watson at FedEx Office” Pape and Ann “put your ass on the seat!” Lundholm for a gluttonous smörgåsbord o...

We are joined by EvereTen and LRB alumni Dana Steele to play a clip, of a clip, of a podcast that was played on the podcast that this podcast is about. If it sounds confusing, don't worry just take a leap of faith and stick with us as we talk about how hearing this TBTL segment was a turning point for Dana's life and new beginnings.  As discussed on the show:  Hear Dana on LRB #33: "Wolf Magic" Th...

Grab your LOL shirt, pour a big bowl of Steak O’s and milk, and get ready for some snuggle time with Eddie, because it’s time to review last week’s TBTL.  Meredith, Mike and Ann are ready to play 20 Questions about the topics they’ll need to cover: 1)Is it a hot dog? 2)Is it a magnet? 3)Is it a hot dog magnet? They discuss the meaning behind teenage Andrew’s visit to his driving instructor’s apart...

We’ve popped the champagne, spread the rose petals on the bed, and put on the sexy, sexy music. All that remains is to ask the question: will you be our Valentine? Ann and Christy are here with a clip show about TBTL and Valentimes Day, and boy, is there a lot to talk about. Topics discussed include: how we feel about this dubious holiday, conversation hearts – yay or nay?, the horror that is ‘wor...

Strap your sled to your most reliable pet, and slide on down to the closest podstore: you can even go ahead and take that spot for the Listener of the Month, you’re entitled to it. Special guest co-host Steve “Stu” “StuBot” “Chris Hayes Follows Me on Twitter” Neuman joins Bobby and Mike to recap the latest week of TBTL, and to update us all on recent news in his life both professional and anatomic...

Education doctor and San Jose Ten Ellen “Andrew on the Inside” Middaugh takes a break from diagnosing social media’s impact on politics today (spoiler: it’s … not great) to join Ann and Bobby for a celebration of Luke and Andrew’s ability to riff on pretty much anything, as proven in a series of Led Zeppelin song titles funneled through Luke’s impression of Kai Ryssdal . The clip, from October 24,...

Grab a Diet Dr Pepper and some pizza-shaped gummies at the Durn Good Grocery, because Mike, Bobby and Ann are ready to unpack another week of TBTL. We’ll need to pour ourselves a big cup of chicory coffee to go with those sous-vide eggs, because frankly, we’re still recovering from Luke’s “in the rough” encounter with a Florida groundskeeper. Mike shares some blistering hot takes about the latest...

The most specific PSA you'll never need in this month's Phyllis Phave edition of LRB. Meredith and Phyllis join their host Christy who guides us through some genuine girl talk: Phyllis and phriends lose 1,000 lbs during the Trump administration, and Meredith prepares to be the belle of the real-life ball. Then we go back in time to the waning radio days of TBTL when Luke and Jen announce what not...

Crack open a cold, refreshing Diet Coke, and don’t dare email us about the fake sugar—Showmates Bobby, Ann and Meredith don’t want to hear about it. Instead, enjoy a defense of casual fandom, what to do if you can hear your neighbors peeing, a final Dukakis turkey carcass count, a first-hand Coachella sharpshoot, occasional encounters with an actual EGOT, why you shouldn’t copy your long division...

What's creepier: a mannequin head, poster of Bobby, or a dead deer? Why is Jeremy so aggro? What happened to the button fly on my suit? This week we sit down with Ten, podcaster, and mail carrier Jeff Richardson to ask the hard questions and of course break down some classic moments in TBTL history.  As discussed on the show:  Check out Jeff's podcasts here:  http://awesomepod.squarespace.com/ , f...

Welcome, friendos! The political landscape may have shifted, but TBTL continues, and that means LRB is here to break it down. In your weekly recap, Mike, Meredith, and Ann puzzle over exactly what it means that Andrew’s been meeting “old colleagues” for lunch, reflect on how Carey’s becoming a true Burbank, (although her desire to follow rules and regulations is driving her husband crazy), and dis...

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher joins Bobby and Mike for some post-McFrizz Files questions about her father’s crimes and time behind bars, and a Phlashback to stories of alcohol- and animatronic-fueled rage at a string of rural Chuck-E-Cheese’s locations in January 2009. And speaking of Real America, remember that starting today, it’s Great Again™! Today’s episode includes some related commentary...

Don’t Stop your podcatcher now! Bobby and Ann are joined on The Chain by special guest and Gold Dust Woman Amy Sheppard to Make Loving (TBTL) Fun with your latest Week in Review! While we would prefer Never Going Back Again , it seems we’re stuck in a déjà poop loop as Luke Goes His Own Way with his new $30 bidet, and is doomed to repeat Second Hand News from TBTL past. Why, you ask? Oh Daddy , we...

In the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live. That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this episode Christy and Mi...

Hey, Dummy: set a timer for two hours! Ann, Meredith and Mike are here and ready for a mammoth recap of last week’s TBTL. The pizza piles are in the oven, the zoodles and boodles are on the stove, and we are not (I repeat, NOT) working on the show sheet wearing our baldness laser helmets. Luke is causing trouble in his marriage due to his ongoing affair with technology, as well as working up some...

Happy New Year from Little Red Bandwagon! Slip past the kid at the door and grab any open seat to hear Meredith, Mike and Bobby recap the latest week of TBTL, because it’s not stealing if it was going to be empty anyway. We promise not to tell, especially because Bobby is too busy breaking in his Instant Pot, Mike is too busy watching a kitten antagonize a bunny, and Meredith is too busy running t...

Join Bobby, Christy, Mike, Meredith, Ann, Jeremy and Phyllis for a Secret Santa holiday spectacular! What this episode lacks in TBTL hot takes, it makes up for with holiday joy, ire for nearly every major shipping company, and abundant gift-opening audio texture. Plus: Kitten talk, Ann the Detective, a gift for Ellie, someone likes Etsy, someone else doesn’t like The Miracle Worker, we’re patentin...
