Episodes: May, 2010

Luke and Sean check in from Sasquatch, where the music is hot and the dignified places to go #2 are scarce.

Adam Carolla on life, love, and being a carpet cleaner.

Jen reacts to her packing woes the only way she knows how, with lots of Corona, Luke wonders why RV owners are so offended at his offer of renting their vehicles for the weekend, and Andy Haynes hurts the feelings of both strippers and military personnel. Free tbtl t-shirt to the first person who makes it to the end of this episode.

Luke releases the Kraken a little too hard in San Diego, and suffers through a humiliating freelance gig.

A surprise trip to San Diego has Luke contemplating the most embarrassing thing he has ever done. Also, Luke and Sean take pity on teen werewolves, but still think they should Shut It Down America! Listener ‘toenail’ sat across from Marina Abramovic two times and lived to tell the tale.

Jen and Vanessa throw down a Lost Postmortem, Luke falls down during his jog to his great humiliation, and a new segment: ‘Assignment TBTL’: this week’s assignment? Hey New Yorkers, could one of you go sit across from Marina Abramovic and tell us what it’s like?

The Bobcat Mystery is solved, complete with audio tape of the Mystery Lady, Jen learns a lot about the State of Our Union via the various laundromats she’s visited, and Luke learns of a case of a woman who hoards rats. Yes that’s right, RATS.

Luke is embarrassed about his drunk-dialing of Sean, Australian Ninjas save a guy who’s getting mugged, and we finally Release The Kraken (sort of).

Jen sees a disturbing example of senior citizen nudity and cold-water swimming on her trip to Maine, Chris Hayes from ‘The Nation’ stops by to explain what Tuesday’s elections meant, and the debut of a new segment ‘You’ll never believe what happened… oh, no, wait, you’ll totally believe what happened’

Luke apologizes to Dio fans everywhere, is Justin Bieber illiterate due his being home-schooled? And we’ve got a photo of Bobcat Lady, should we post it?

Luke’s chainsaw-related lie almost gets him killed, is it time for us to collectively declare Russell Crowe dead to us? And Mystery Solvers! We now know what kind of car the Bobcat Lady drives.

Quilting’s ‘Bad Boy’ Mark Lipinski tells his harrowing tell of battling a pet bobcat. Luke gets an evite to the awesomest World Cup party EVER, the only problem is it’s probably a scam. Plus, Lindy West from The Stranger reviews ‘Babies’, in TBTL’s occasional Friday segment: ‘What’s The Cutest Wootest Widdle Movie You Can See This Weekend?’

Luke tells the story of the most awkward HR Diversity Session ever, Jen has a run-in with yet another Maine bookshop owner, and the Mystery of the Olympia pet bobcat deepens (and bizarrely enough seems to involve America’s “Bad Boy of Quilting”).

Music from Chris Pureka, Callmakers, and TBTL is Mystery Solvers! Who is this woman walking her pet bobcat around Olympia?

The debut of a new segment “I’m Just Gonna Say It…” says the thing everyone’s afraid to; Betty White was only mildly funny on SNL. Plus, Jen discovers she has the power to dream things into reality, and Luke announces TBTL Summer Slam has added a second night. Get your tickets while they last.

We take back everything we said about George Rekers being secretly A Gay. He has a very logical explanation for why he rented a gay prostitute, and it involves something called ‘The Lng Stroke’.

Lauren Weedman dishes on filming nude scenes post baby-having, the ridiculous things starlets eat to look like starlets, and how Steve Carrell is even nicer than she thought he’s be. Plus, Luke rages about his recent of spate of speeding tickets, and Jen starts a feud at a Maine book store.

Luke is disturbed by his Justin Bieber dream, an anti-gay leader in Florida hires the gayest possible ‘travel partner’ for his European vacation, and on ‘Call Makers’, listener Missy explains why Hanson is still so way awesome.
