Episodes: May, 2018

An NBA exec is accused of using burner Twitter accounts to anonymously defend his fashion choices, among other things. Plus, Andrew finds a new audio toy, and we introduce a new, saucy feline character to the show. 

David From The Basement joins the show to give us the inside scoop on what happened behind the scenes yesterday when Starbucks shut down thousands of its stores. Plus, Luke and Andrew review the radio experiment they tried yesterday. They also talk about a million other topics that we simply cannot list here, but some of them were probably entertaining. 

Luke and Andrew try to act like radio professionals for once in their dang lives. They take calls from listeners both seeking and offering advice on everything from cutting onions to travelling wrinkle-free. (Actually, that’s it, really. Just those two topics.) Plus, Luke’s swimming pool is the wrong color, but he’s not letting that get him down.

TBTL celebrates the Memorial Day holiday the only way we know how: By calling up The StuBot during a family road trip. 

Luke joins the show from The Valley of the Sun, where he just found out (through an unusual source) that he needs therapy. Andrew tries to provide it. Plus, the post office is about to start selling some very special stamps, and it’s Friday, so we’re dishing up a healthy helping of Music For Your Weekend!

Luke finds out that Andrew doesn’t really like him, so that’s weird. Plus, a bronze plaque meant to honor Brandi Chastain raises the question: Should we give up on bronze plaques, as a society? 

Luke is in a Twitter fight involving a dog, a cat, a British woman, and a sailor lost at sea. Meanwhile, Andrew apparently said something funny once, and he’s trying to remember what it was. And they discuss a pig who tried to follow a man home.

Luke and Andrew share some late-breaking news out of Boston about a radio contest they entered. Plus, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has a new alter-ego, and it’s….not great. And Andrew breaks the land speed record for fumbled musical references. (But that’s okay, he’ll edit it all out.) 

Japan’s #1 mixer, Sean Detore, joins the show to tell us about his new business venture. But we also put him on the spot and test his skills to make sure he’s worth hiring. Plus, Rick and Morty gets renewed for a billion episodes, and Andrew still doesn’t want to be a big radio star in Boston. 

Luke reports back after his first game on a new softball team. Things got a little….messy on the field. Also, stick around for an impromptu cultural examination of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a story about the first Tinder match in the Antarctic, and – since it’s Friday – some Music For Your Weekend!

Luke and Andrew find out the results of the radio contest they entered last month. Plus, Luke had a very shameful thing happen to his computer, Chris Hayes launches a podcast, and the Cleveland Browns are about to step into the spotlight in a big – hopefully not embarrassing – way.

Luke is back from Hawaii, where he had to deploy some Mission Impossible-level moves to avoid awkward dinner conversation. He and Andrew also discuss the “Laurel vs Yanny” phenomenon that has taken over the internet.

Hanna Brooks Olsen joins to the show to answer all your cleaning-related questions and to comfort Andrew during his time of technological need.

Hanna Brooks Olsen and Nick Jarin (nicknames pending) join the show to talk about all kinds of stuff, including the cancellation and immediate salvation of Brooklyn 99, why people are Thirsty for Thanos, and whether we should all pool our money and buy a hot dog stand in Bellingham. Plus, a new segment called Bearly The News, and a spontaneous No Point Conversion. 

Andrew and Luke play a game of Hawaiian-themed Super Password to prepare Luke for his trip to the islands. They also celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week by remembering an instructor who didn’t want Luke in his classroom. Plus, it’s Friday, so we have Music For Your Weekend!

Luke quizzes Andrew on the most-played TBTL audio drops. Plus, Luke plays a very special voicemail he received on his birthday, and Andrew finds a great pho restaurant in Seattle for Dallas Cowboy fans. 

David From The Basement is back from New Zealand, and he joins the show to talk about Lord of the Rings, why licensed tattoo artists are overrated, and why one Yaris is never enough. 

Luke is about to head to Hawaii for a vacation….but he may have a little trouble actually getting on the plane. He and Andrew also talk about what they’d do if a bunch of money fell off a truck in front of them.
