On today’s TBTL, Luke and Andrew turn to the skies, where the moon is red, Mars has water, and $10,000 worth of weed is falling out of aircraft and crushing doghouses. Also: a recap of yesterday’s mixed football action in our weekly No Point Conversion segment.

Luke barely survives a weekend without his iPhone, and Andrew finds himself in an awkward Facebook situation (because he’s an awful human.)
