This Show Has Everything

It’s time to stop debating cement vs concrete, poring over Pod Dog’s Instagram feed, and viewing questionable helicopter news crew footage, because  we’ve got this week’s roundup of last week’s TBTL. Christy, Mike and Ann are here to guide you through the ins and outs of another week of Luke’s questionable diet choices, Andrew’s ever-growing persnickety-ness, and the joy that is Phyllis Fletcher a...

In this long overdue look back, Mike and Bobby run their ironically and suspiciously crushed hands over the iPad from the ol’ LRB satchel, and dial up Bobby’s personal favorite TBTL episode pick. It’s a double shot of troubling realizations from 2012, with Luke literally waking up stranded in Wedgwood with no memory of how he got there, and an update on the demise of insufferable sensationalist Mi...

Put down the welding goggles, because (stuff’s) about to get real. Mike, Meredith and Bobby (filling in for an ailing Christy) set the AC to 72 and tuck into a Bloody Mary for breakfast, a Bloody Mary for lunch and a sensible Heggie’s Pizza dinner in your latest TBTL Week in Review. Plus, a Mike health update, an Eddie genetic testing pupdate, and a take on Andrew’s fussy eating so hot the kids (a...

  Gather ‘round, Everybody, and join Christy and Ann as they take a magical mystery tour into the mind of Japan’s #1 Mixer and TBTL’s beloved sidekick Sean DeTore. We cover a range of DeTore-appropriate subjects, including how to make money through questionable means, when you should visit the doctor or risk permanent damage, what to do to get cast on a reality cooking show, and at what point you’...

Strap on your FitBit, crack a can of Trader Joe’s wine, and put that cup in your Levi’s—Bobby, Ann and Meredith are rushing animal style to get in their steps while reviewing last week’s TBTL. Daytime Emmy Award Winner Luke got thrown out of a house of worship, feel-good comedy archetype Andrew managed to keep intermediate potty training at arms’ length, someone is wearing a tote bag, and Ann hope...

Is your refrigerator running? Don’t ask The Mummy, because he doesn’t have one. Easthamp-Ten Corey Plucker joins Bobby and Ann for a look back at a TBTL Twofer—Andrew’s teenage love for making prank calls, and Luke playing a KIRO interview with purported tiny house movement enthusiast Isaac “The Mummy” Vicknair. Coincidentally, Corey’s favorite TBTL drop sounds a lot like the exact reason you shou...

Bobby, Christy and Meredith host their final episode of Little Red Bandwagon from an awkwardly abrasive middle school stairwell before moving over to make room for new lead host Kyle Mooney in your latest TBTL Week in Review. On the scale of relevant references, this week of TBTL was slightly more satisfying than a bag of parsnip chips, and slightly less satisfying a heartily salted slice of pizza...

Dim the lights, put on a movie, and prepare for a shoulder rub—Phyllis, Mike and Bobby aren’t sending any mixed messages in your latest TBTL Phletch Phlashback. We listen back to one of Andrew’s most awkward childhood romance stories (that we’ve heard to date, at least) and then share some of our own. It turns out boys are either nervous (Mike), oblivious (Bobby) or the worst (Ryan). Plus, First T...

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard LRB Airlines Flight 120, with service to Seattle and continuing on to Chicago.  We have a few safety announcements we’d like to make before departure. First, please ensure that any electronic devices for combating moles are turned off, as they cannot be used in flight. Second, ghost apps are not reliable indicators of spectral activity, so don’t believe the fou...

Perfect Colorado Ten and TBTL Science Council diehard James McCracken catches a case of the munchies as he joins Mike and Meredith for a Cooking with Sean classic: Prisine. Grab a sip of Toilet Tanqueray, wash it down with a spot-on cup of coffee from our guest’s pristine brewer, and listen back to what some good ol’ incarcerated ingenuity can do with canned mackerel, Cheez-Its® and a hot plate. (...

Bobby, Mike and Meredith take a break from their quixotic romp through Edmonds for your latest TBTL Week in Review, chock full of things you probably don’t want to Google. Plus, disconnected plumbing plagues both Mike (literally) and Meredith’s puppy Eddie (figuratively). But at least we’ve sold enough LRB stickers for the crane shot . Bonus: Producer Jeremy got in touch with the ashtray collector...

Dear Students, The school year is drawing to a close, and we’re about ready to grab our towels and beach reads, grill up some burgers and dogs (hot dogs, that is) and make the most of these dreamy summer days. However, it’s come to our attention that some of you are a bit rusty on your TBTL knowledge, and we’re going to need you to rectify that before we can pass you on to the next grade. Luckily,...

Bobby, Miss Christy and Miss Ann saddle up with Diamond, Champ, Rocky and I Forget for four-and-a-half pounds of steak and a side of unsellable potato art in your latest TBTL Week in Review. Remember: Keep the armrest down, be careful where you stick that Dyson, and Republicans are people, too. Oh, and either go vegan, or at least check those eggs carefully. Bonus: Listen through to the end for Li...

Join Meredith, Bobby and MichiTen Dawn Hafner for a long overdue road trip from the Windsor Ballet all the way down to an Airbnb well south of Marfa, with eyes out for Bigfoot the whole way. Thankfully, we’ve all got our emergency car kits packed, and we see how they stack up against Jen Flash Andrews’ setup from 2008. So when you injure yourself trying to play Suwannee River on your armpits, we’l...

Ann, Meredith, Christy and Bobby brew a fresh pot of hotel room coffee, strap the LRB Bluetooth speaker to a Roomba, and pile into a 1988 Ford Tempo (or was it a Topaz?) to bring you your latest TBTL Week in Review. Get ready for an ear volcano of insight, because we’re burning through hot takes faster than the government burns through batteries. Plus, we didn’t loan our recorder to Fay Canale. As...

Mike, Fletch and Bobby roll down their jeans, get in a few miffs, and take a Phyllis Phaves Phlashback to May 2008 for a very special pre-Mother’s Day radio show edition of TBTL featuring Luke, Jen, Sean, and more importantly, their moms. Plus, reflections on our own moms and childhoods. It’s the perfect soundtrack for an adolescent mail heist and subsequent car chase.

Hey, Everybody! It’s time to round up your stolen monkey, activate your squirrel call (but don’t hug your dog) and join Mike, Ann, Meredith and Christy as they review TBTL: The Week That Was. In this episode, a discussion on the finer points of trench digging, why Beyoncé can say anything she damn well pleases, and Meredith makes the ultimate sacrifice. Plus, our advance recon for the upcoming TBT...

It’s a Little Red Bandwagon family reunion. Christy is back (!) and fills us in on her wedding and mini-moon. Mike retraces the story of his move and Emily’s health. Meredith’s pupdate and Bobby’s work life seem extremely less significant in this context. Plus, a special Song of Ice and No Spoilers—plugs and praise for shows we’re watching that aren’t Jonesin’ for a Thronesin.

Join Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Mike nestled safely inside the pastrami delivery area but beyond the Dyson Airblade splatter zone for your latest TBTL Week in Review. We may not use more batteries than the federal government, but we guarantee we’ll show you more love than the pair of AAAs at the other end of a certain podcarter’s bearded lip-whispers. Plus, if your foot’s cold, Meredith’s got a bag...

Mike and Ann are joined by Nick Armes, hospitality professional, Civilization lover, and quite possibly one of the nicest guys ever to wear an Imperial Officer’s uniform. We get the lowdown on Detroit pizza, Nick’s TBTL tattoo, and no-fail strategies for romancing the ladies. Then we take a trip down memory lane to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, to 2012 in the Mt Baker neighborho...

Can a dive bar also be a scooter bar? Only if Rudy is there. Batten down the hatches, even crate yourself if you must to get ready for a stormy recap brought to you by Ann, Meredith, and Mike. Many adult themes are discussed, including pixilated prives and period panties. We feel confident with this #LRB episode because, like Twitter and MAD TV, Luke thinks it's destined to fail.

Take a break from your 1040A and listen back with Mike, Bobby and Ann to some of LRB’s favorite tax-time clips from TBTL history. Sean’s making bank, Andrew’s making trouble, and Luke’s making a Pagliacci’s delivery driver go pretty far out of his way. Plus, poorly relayed last-minute advice from friend of the show Kevin Farewell, the guy we should have just hired months ago.

Fire up the Andyman and invite over your neighborhood bee whisperer—it’s time to celebrate Theo and Professor Bananas’ safe return to the schnürbdër with a new TBTL Week in Review. Meredith, Ann and Bobby look back on creaky floors, Cinnabon trees and everything in-between in an episode that’ll leave you with more to chew on than a cheeseburger on an English muffin.

Western New York cuisine heiress turned Weisendorf Ten Elizabeth Chiavetta joins Bobby and Mike from what we can only imagine is her cavernous German castle for a wide-ranging edition of LRB. We listen back to a TBTL two-fer from 2013 featuring dreams of childhood heroics and a private work bathroom. Plus, Bobby apologizes, Mike comes out as bidet-curious, and Elizabeth shares a tip on getting rac...

Here’s hoping you have that laminated picture of ~90 minutes of entertainment and thoughtful commentary ready to show your Zune, because it’s time for your latest TBTL Week in Review! Close the garage door, crack a window, grab an extension cord, and please, hold the slab of red onion—we’re allergic. If you need anything feel free to ask Mike, but make sure he’s not holding a pen first, or he migh...
