It’s Luke and Andrew’s Friday, and they start the celebration a tad early, with talk of Pee Problems, Clown Crimes, and Prudish Pandas.

Plus, Mike Birbiglia learns that you can never be sincere on the internet, and a new statue in Arizona helps Luke discover his new radio hero.

Andrew and Luke are in Phoenix, where Luke is stressing out about his upcoming live show at the Herberger Theater.

Plus, Music For Your Weekend! Special thanks to Patrick Meagher […]

Luke and Andrew wreak havoc on the space-time continuum with today’s TBTL from a public radio conference in Phoenix, Arizona, where they address the age old question, “When is a lanyard just a lanyard?” Plus, a Canadian Mint employee finds a brilliant and uncomfortable way to steal gold from work, and a Malaysian man finds an ingenious way to live in an airport.

Luke and Andrew join forces in the Valley of the Sun to bring you this edition of TBTL. They have an update on Andrew’s AZ hotel accommodations (spoiler alert: Andrew is still alive), and recount their public radio karaoke adventures of the night before. Plus, an uncomfortable history of Luke and Andrew’s romantic almost-encounters with women over the years, a ranking of bubble gums, and a lesson in unsaid grammar rules.

News of a crime ring has Andrew second-guessing (more like third- or fourth-guessing) his hotel accommodations as he preps for his trip to Phoenix. Meanwhile, Luke is sad about the Pitt/Jolie breakup, but news about self-driving cars is cheering him up a bit. Special thanks to Levi Fuller and Lindsay Lewellyn for supporting today’s episode!

Luke and Andrew discuss Andrew’s plan to crash a public radio conference in Phoenix this week, including his questionable lodging situation. Plus, how to find your inner Bill Murray and not worry about male pattern baldness. And, week 2 of No Point Conversion finds the boys less than jubilant.

Luke joins the show from Portland, where he’s dangerously high on coffee. He and Andrew discuss whether they’d use a solid gold toilet, if given the opportunity, and why the iPhone’s new gif service is creating some NSFW headaches.

Professors Burbank and Walsh gear up for their podcasting class tonight. Plus, putting the “five second rule” to the test, saving regional slang, and how Andrew became a battery-head.

A former TBTL guest is embroiled in a lawsuit…and a bit of a mystery. Luke and Andrew try to untangle the ins-and-outs of that story. Plus, another day, another uncomfortable parking lot encounter for one Andrew Walsh.

Andrew insists on sinking today’s show like a submarine, but Luke makes sure to keep it afloat. They discuss the upcoming podcast class they’re hosting on Weds, Andrew’s most successful tweet, and the Angela Lansbury hoax they fell for. Plus, the 2016 return of No Point Conversion!

Luke finds himself in Chicago, “elbow deep in Japanese candy.” He and Andrew discuss the new movie that reinvents to story of Sully Sullenberger, why Luke had to use a “germ Jacuzzi”, and the pros and cons of Apple’s new wireless earbuds.

Luke is taking over KUOW’s Twitter account today, and he’s not sure what he should do with his new found power. Meanwhile, Andrew might be a dog. Or maybe not. They discuss the naming conventions of Rambo movies and advice from the New York Times on how to pick the fastest check-out line.
