Episodes: November, 2009

Luke heroically hosts the show despite his ‘plumbing problems’ (both literal and figurative), Alec Baldwin gets a TBTL pep-talk, and Swe- Ten Peder teaches us all how to say ‘Ah Hell No’ in his native tongue (very useful for when you’re @ the Ikea by the way)

Karma catches up with Luke over all the poop stories & audio he’s played over the years, but Luke has a surprise for karma. Plus, Jen’s report from the Lyle Lovett show and fancy Thanksgiving in TX.

Jason dished on his family’s bizarre Turkey Day hobo/ dress-up traditions, Luke frets about the 30 or so people he has to cook Thanksgiving dinner for. Then! things get romantic when Luke and Jen decide to boost TBTL’s ratings by ripping off nighttime’s most successful schmaltz-peddler, Delilah!

What would it sound like if we asked some local high school kids to re- record our theme song in marching band form, and then had Ben Lee himself announce the winners? Don’t sit there like an idiot wondering, listen to today’s show!

On today’s show, doctors misdiagnosed a Belgian man as being in a coma for 23 FREAKING YEARS, turns out he was conscious all along. Also, apparently there’s something called ‘kick a ginger’ day, and apparently some kids in LA took it very seriously. And, Jen checks in from Abilene Texas.

Live music performance from The Lonely Forest! Plus, what’s the worst movie you can rent this weekend?

Booze News You Can Use (are we really ‘powerless drunks’? the LA Times says no), Jen reports on her trailer park in the 5th ring of suburban shopping hell, and Joe Garza, the guy who filmed that 2 million dollar car wreck comes on the show to declare he is not a hoax.

Luke demos the new TBTL iPhone App, and talks about his new hero, a 10 year-old kid from Arkansas who talks like a little Irishman. Plus, Douchegate!

Luke gets official confirmation (from a black person!) that he’s not a racist, Shut It Down America! with the sex tapes already, plus January Jones = awful on SNL.

Luke gives a crack dealer a ride @ 3am (and lives to tell about it), plus the hilarity of comedian Andy Haynes.

Luke’s tries to tie a bow tie live on air with embarrassing consequences, Moon Water!, and JD and Thunder know the ‘Worst Movie You Can Rent This Weekend’, it’s called Gymkata.

Awesome job alert! (if your idea of awesome is managing a McDonald’s at Guantanamo), Jen finds an unexplained $7,500 in her checking account and tries to figure out what to do with it, a luxury SUV-maker has an idea… Whale Penis Leather Seats (seriously).

Luke uses the internet to set up a disturbing church-music wake up call, listener Dave (a veteran) wants to know how to respond to well wishers without being a doucher, and call makers! Wherein Dr. Jim talks about shushing his nurses during surgery so he can listen to TBTL.

Luke and Vanessa learn a hard/ humiliating lesson from the other members of their bowling team, Sean opens a mystery package on the air, and fans stampede the exits @ a Tracy Morgan comedy show, has he lost what tiny bit of his mind he had left?

The amazing story of how the band Scorpions freed Anne Frank from the Nazis (or something like that according to 13 year-old Luke), Shut It Down America! on debating muslims in the military, and Dr. Steve Brule with some questionable advice about eating horse meat.

Live from LA! Luke is forced to admit that Vanessa’s shady travel websites might actually be awesome, and the debut of a new friday segment ‘What’s The Worst Movie You Can Rent This Weekend?’

Luke travels to LA but leaves a little present behind (of the White Elephant variety) at archival tape of the first hour EVER of TBTL. Tune in to hear Luke nearly pass out from nervousness (and whiskey).

The funky stuff that might be in your ground beef, Luke gets a visit from The Magical Leaf Fairy, and Vanessa and Ben try to convince Luke that The Pixies are truly one of the best bands of all time (and blatantly make a hot date right in front of him).
