This Show Has Everything

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...

Luke may have talked his way out onto international waters, but that won’t stop Bobby, Ann and Meredith (along with their fully intact lawn furniture) from talking through the latest week of TBTL. In fact, we loved approximately four or five (depending on how you count ‘em) of this week’s guest hosts, though only one of them is our *interim* favorite (hint, hint). So don your pristine nightgown, s...

Pack your 7-11 cartons of gum, grab your bootleg copy of 30 Rock, don’t forget your robot doll: it’s time for a new episode of LRB! The gate agents didn't hold the plane, so Mike, Meredith and Ann pile into the Chevy Aveo for the TBTL Week in Review. We refuse to pay it forward at Starbucks, but we might buy some knockoff Michael Jordan shoes (hey, it’s not stealing until you leave the store). Mik...

Grab your spandex and grow your hair out, because Mike Frizzell, Wagoneer Michelle Zinkevicz and Bobby “has all his limbs still” Pape are heading back to the age of Butt Rock via a TBTL segment from the radio days. What is Butt Rock exactly? We’re not sure. But we know it’s the perfect soundtrack for your evening drive down the 101 from (the other) Long Beach (WA) to (the other) Newport (OR). This...

Little Red Bandwagon podcast

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher takes a break from trust falls and ice breakers with her team in Portland to share not one but TWO TBTL moments from Decembers past! One features Jen (the cake is a lie), one features Luke (who’s too young for a decaf nightcap), and both raise a great question: why did I say that?! While We Have Her™, Phyllis also tells us what it was like in the newsroom on Electio...

Climb aboard the KSPRT Grosston Roller Coaster for a wild ride through the latest week of TBTL with Bobby, Ann and Great Big Man Mike. We (somewhat) tactfully tackle TBTL’s recent gauntlet of bodily function talk, but might need an ice bath and some sample pierogis if anyone expects us to podcast tomorrow. Just remember: unicycles are a deal-breaker, don’t forget the bulk whipping cream, and it’s...

It’s a very special holiday edition of LRB as Mike, Christy, Jeremy, Bobby, Ann, Phyllis and (sort of) Meredith all come together around the dining room podtable. We kick things off with a Thanksgiving Day Parade of Misery as our worst Turkey Day memories overload the Wappler Doppler in a deluge of disasters from culinary to family—all, of course, punctuated with laughter, and everybody’s favorite...

Mike, Ann and an unexpectedly ailing Bobby ditch the Coleman cooler full of algae juice for some Canadian beer and Teriyaki Madness before losing their appetites thanks to Luke’s questionable medical talk and hygiene maintenance. Then again, stories of Bobby’s high school surgery prep, Ann nerding out about murderdata.org and Mike’s unoiled stump didn’t help much, either. It’s not all a trip to Gr...

Buckle up, check your mirrors, and make sure that your mixed nuts are in the glove box, because traffic is bad and we shouldn’t let the occasional anger management issue get in the way of enjoying another clip episode of LRB. Ann and Christy are here to talk TBTL road rage stories, some surprising (Andrew) and some most definitely not (Luke). We’ll hear about passive-aggressive tendencies while ri...

Mike, Meredith and Ann finally stop lumping it up and drag themselves out into the light to survey the wreckage of the American electoral process. They share their election night experiences, next day reactions, and thoughts on where we go from here. Despite their sadness, they manage to address a variety of TBTL topics, including lovesick snails, the handsomest prisoner ever(?), Second Worst Amer...

Working Man Bobby Pape, Mike Today’s Tom Sawyer Frizzell and special guest Houston Ten and RushCon Founder Eddy Maxwell hop into the Red Barchetta, and channel The Spirit of (imaginary) Radio by getting Closer to the Heart with some morning-after-the-election talk about the Subdivisions in our country. (We are sincere and share words of hope, but are also frustrated and opinionated. If you take is...

Turn the porch light off and ignore the incessant knocking, because there’s no time for adorable children when a week of TBTL is waiting to be recapped. Ann’s back from SFO and joins Mike and Bobby for everything from gold chains and toupée talk to HGTV and Granny Time. Plus, Ann went “Hollywood,” Mike stole 100 Grand (the candy bar … and much later the money) and Bobby went to the Magnolia Silos...

On a Phletch Phaves Phryday we celebrate Phyllis Fletcher's second anniversary of being a Ten with the episode that hooked her: the TBTL obituary for Tom Magliozzi of Car Talk. Meredith, Mike and Phyllis connect the dots of the Car Talk Talk to reveal its subtext and elevate it as a pivotal moment in TBTL history, unbeknownst as it was to Tens back in 2014. In an LRB Bonus Track we hear the radio...

¡Bienvenidos a Stumpton! Slip into your hospital footie socks, pour yourself some coconut water, and visit Bobby, Meredith and Mike at the San Juan Salsa Bar for your latest, healthiest, watermelon-colored TBTL Week in Review (and your gratis Big Papi tortilla chips). We’re a little afraid of trying to fire our layabout unioncats, and a lot afraid of getting our hair wet. But at least we ain’t afr...
