Your TSHE Hosts are out and about this week, so we bring you a Coven (tm) show from the past!!It’s finally here. The TSHE Coven has convened in their candy house, surrounded the cauldron, and summoned their foremothers. Yes, we’re talking witches! We talk to an actual (former) witch, discuss why we would probably be burned at the stake (or some other sadistic sentence), describe the type of witch we would be, and finally, decide on our Mount Rushmore witches. Welcome to spooky (and birthday) season, y'all!

The women of TSHE are talking true crime media: what it is, how it’s made, and why people like it. We decide that, as with most things, there are a few diamonds, but it’s mostly dross. COPS? No thank you. Serial? We have some problems. In the Dark? Should win every award ever made. Along the way: the relative hotness of Ted Bundy, confirmation jewelry, the uselessness of car alarms, and did DB Sweeney hijack a plane? Plus, the legal requirements of all Aunt Kathys.TSHE Recommends: Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox NewsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

This week, Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Hillary are exploring the times things in our world have felt a little (or more than a little) like a cult. Plus, recent podcast excursions, the frailty of the human body, SME listeners, the debut of Rory Reviews™, and you’ll *never* guess who adopted a stray cat named Spaghetti from a neighborhood gas station. TSHE RecommendsThe Wild RobotKeys to the KingdomConnect with the show!

Your TSHE Hosts are out and about this week, so we bring you an (almost) timely show from Spooky Halloweentime (tm) two years ago. But please listen to recently recorded intro/cameo/review from one of our younger listeners/future co-hosts.It’s Spooky Halloweentime (™), and your TSHE hosts are here to talk all about monsters - the monsters we loved and the monsters that scarred us for life. We also discuss why vampires are so dang sexy (are they?) and the history of the General Mills’ monsters. In small talk, Hillary prepares for the big day/weekend while detailing her previous big weekend. She and Ann agree that 44 is a nice number (11!) before Ann gives a lovely rendition of Happy Birthday (by Stevie, of course). Finally we realize that we’re all complete nerds!

We had so much fun discussing fictional detectives last week, your TSHE hosts thought, what the hell! We want to be detectives, too! Follow along as We talk sleuthing styles, settings, potential sidekicks, and maybe most importantly, our spying accessories.In small talk, Hillary describes her Victorian woman ways (where is the fainting couch?) while watching a very dumb (and extremely entertaining) show and Bobby’s algorithm takes a journey to Stars Hollow.

Here at TSHE we have an ongoing fascination with the detective procedural genre, and this time we’re examining that staple character, the disarming sleuth. This could be a kindly old lady, somebody with a mental illness, a precocious child, or a fussy British man, but the one thing they have in common is that nobody expects them to solve the crime. Along the way we detour into murder trendlines, the importance of a top-tier mustache, Jessica Fletcher’s sex life, and a lot of talk about Frasier and Gilmore Girls (neither of which have murders, that we know of).TSHE Recommends: TAKE THE BUFFER DAY!Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

We the People of This Show Has Everything, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare…you know the rest, maybe! With the 2024 campaign in full swing, TSHE is talking politics this week! What’s our political history? Are we engaged citizens? Apathetic? Somewhere in the middle? And how many political offices did Bobby hold in high school?In small talk, Hillary is forced to be an involved parent. We also discuss the various states and territories we still need to visit.

A cold disrupted this week’s recording schedule, as you’ll hear in today’s intro. This release from the TSHE Vault originally aired April 5, 2021. Aches. Fever. Congestion. All of the pain that lasts about a day as Bill Gates’ new 5G microchips* take hold in your bloodstream and rewrite your DNA. Now that more people are getting their vaccine shots, Bobby, Meredith, Christy and Hillary are dedicating a show to the inevitable sick day you’ll take (even if you don’t really need it) after you get the jab. And we know you will, because you believe in science. And peer pressure. So join us as we share how we spend our down days now, and what made them special when we were kids. The listener with the closest bid without going over could win a beautiful new Broyhill dining room set. All that plus your pettiest grievances, including one listener who’s got a justified turkey beef. No whammies! *Kidding!TSHE Recommends Black MondayOld Bay Hot Sauce@MattGertz — who is definitely not Matt GaetzConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’ve been off for a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean we’ve been sitting around drilling our children on U.S. Presidents (just some of us). Join Bobby, Ann, and Hillary as we share what we’ve been up to since we last got together, including a family reunion with an interesting potluck choice, Bobby’s adventures on the road with Rosalita, and what happens when service people are too prompt. Plus, what we mean by “rectum-adjacent,” and Rest in Pizza to all our dearly departed.TSHE Recommends:The Fugitive (again!)Sierra Ferrell - Dollar Bill BarConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

This episode originally aired on February 1st, 2021.This week, we take navel-gazing to a whole new level by way of a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® personality inventory test. Is it bunk science that shouldn’t be taken out of context? Possibly. Is it stellar fodder for the show this week? Definitely. Listen as we share our results, and then take the survey and see which TSHE host is just like you! As a fair warning, odds are pretty good you’re a Miranda. Don’t worry, our Masterminds make sure we know what we’re all getting ourselves into. Click here for the survey. (It’s free.

This episode originally aired on May 3rd, 2020.We may be cooped up at home for a while, but we’re not about to let that stop us from celebrating the spectacular pageantry, athletic accomplishment, and overblown nationalism that is the Summer Olympics. Mike, Hillary, and Ann are here to discuss our favorite (and least favorite) “events,” decide which athletes impress us the most, share some of our favorite memories, and celebrate the NBC elf that is Bob Costas. Along the way, we simplify some track and field events, add a few twists to liven up a boring sport, and marvel over the rise and fall of the celebrity decathlete.

It’s been quite a week, and Bobby, Hillary and Ann are here to break down and solve the challenges in American politics, climate chaos and global unrest. Just kidding.

It’s days after what might be our country’s last July 4 as the monarchy has apparently descended on us, so what better time to circle back to one of our favorite show topics? Snacks! In particular, what are some of our favorite childhood snacks? Nostalgia + food - that’s the TSHE comfort spot. One lesson we’ve learned, though - never leave Step by Step out of the TGIF discussion!In small talk, Meredith returns from her bouts with several plagues, Hillary talks movies (what’s new?), and Ann teaches Rory the value of a tangent.

Your TSHE hosts have busy lives! So this week we’re re-airing a true classic! Enjoy all of the deep  Numb3rs, Castle, Bones discussions. We really covered Cop/Not Cop well! Also, let us know what you think of the new guest hosts at the beginning. Personally, we think they could work on their professionalism, but they’re entertaining!At long last, Ann, Bobby and Hillary tackle the questions that have been on everyone’s minds (and in the TSHE tickler file) for months now: What is (and isn’t) a cop/not cop show, and more importantly, what—based on strict scientific criteria and rigorous research—are the best and worst cop/not cop shows? You’ll know we weren’t trifling when you see this episode is 2.5 hours long. Also discussed: The Word of the Day, a listener’s (extremely welcome) cat pictures, the form-over-function failings of fondant, Hillary’s hot takes on last week’s Soderberghian Oscars, Bobby’s myriad life updates after a couple of weeks away, and the deeply upsetting things Ann has seen in the bowels of Southdale Center.Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

Last week’s episode turned out to be kind of a heavy one, so this week we decided to do a “quick and breezy” show about fast food. Are you a McD’s or a BK household? How does one authentically pronounce Whataburger? Where do Chipotle, Tim Horton’s and Dunkin fall on the fast food scale? And about that Subway bread…. Numerous tangents include: “onion” rings, Marty the Stop & Shop surveillance robot, and bagels (several times). Plus, Hillary’s diner nightmare, Ann is a conscientious objector to the chicken sandwich wars, and whether Bobby is a mac daddy or a daddy mac.TSHE Recommends:The Library Book (Susan Orlean)The Food that Built AmericaConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s the beginning of summer and camps are in full swing. But camps aren’t just for kids, are they? This week, your TSHE hosts are imagining what their ideal adult summer camps would be. Some activities we brainstormed: come and go macrame, lots of swimming, comfortable beds, lots of alone time, a theater production, and a big final dance! Our mileages may vary, but this is beginning to sound like a plan! In small talk, Bobby tries it so you don’t have to (occasionally featuring Ann), Hillary continues her movie journey with Rory, and Meredith has some sad news (RIP sweet Wonky!).

We promise we’ll be back next week, rested and refreshed.Original Show Notes:Bobby, Ann, and Hillary have packed the folding tables, the camp chairs, the lawn blankets and, of course, their appetites for a special summer kickoff potluck! What are we bringing to the buffet table? What do we avoid in the game of salmonella roulette? And who’s going to remember the ice?Plus: Bobby tries snacks so you don’t have to.

What did we learn? Where did it get us? When did it finally pay off? And why didn’t we steal food or luggage? (Because we would never!)Plus: Old movies for a young cinephile, ear water popped and locked, and more Three Musketeers talk than I think anyone expected. TSHE RecommendsLaufeyConnect with the show!

Here at TSHE Studios y’all know we LOVE movies. But what if we told you sometimes, we actually hate movies. On today’s episode we’ll tell you about the times we came this close to walking out/turning off. We’re not trying to be haters, but Frodo is a whiny little baby! In other news, Hillary is just trying to get through May, and Meredith is trying to contain the kittens. Neither of them are very successful.

And why is everything a crop top??!In small talk, Hillary faces a parenting nightmare, Ann finally bit the new bed bullet (and has the bruises to show for it), and Bobby Pape, Local Guy, is now a paid art critic of seniors.

Bobby, Ann, and Meredith are joined by TSHE Special Correspondent Jeremy to talk about his epic road trip from Seattle to Dallas (and back). It was a journey marked by natural wonders, road travel hacks, an 18-hour detour, the presence of border control 70 miles from the border, aggressive behavior by a semi-truck, and airport misadventures.

From cavities to root canals implants and, well, failed root canals, we’ve seen and felt it all. Plus: Bobby went to Aruba and the Pizza Hut pizza was bad.

The gang is (mostly) otherwise occupied this week, so please enjoy this TSHE Classic from the last Valentine’s Day of our pre-pandemic innocence. We’ll see you next week!Original Show Notes: It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so Ann, Christy, Meredith, and Mike are honoring romance with asbestos-filled teddy bears, overpriced dinners, low-quality jewelry, and a mylar heart on a stick. We wonder, what’s the point of having a day to affirm and celebrate your relationship if nobody can quite figure out what’s supposed to happen? Mike shares a story from his life where the lesson he learned was “just don’t try.” Then, we try our hands at the self-publishing industry with our pitches for the Great American Romance Novel. From the societal expectations of the Regency, to Puritan danger, to a historical(?) 90’s setting, to a modern, border-straddling “multi-cultural” Canadian affair, to whatever the thing that Mike came up with is, we’re re-defining literature and bringing a tingle to romance lovers everywhere.

Ann, Hillary, and Meredith are here for a TSHE After Hours where we discuss a panoply of topics. Subjects include Indiana Jones rankings, couches, accents, safari suppers (??), protein, and, weirdly, the cuteness of snakes. It’s a hotpot episode if you will! We also have an edition of Hillary’s Horny Corner featuring Ann!

We’ve spent a lot of energy talking about silver linings on this show (the pandemic, anyone?), but now it’s time to flip the script and discuss what we’re calling the lead linings – those small drawbacks to things that are otherwise positives in our lives. From choosing the burn (muscles) to choosing the burn (taste buds), being resigned to bad hair days and rashy skin, and the drawbacks of being (gulp) responsible adults, we’re embracing the downsides. Plus, Hillary’s Hitchcock review, Ann is falling apart, and Meredith has no more places to put cats.Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

The TSHE Galaxy of Stars ™ is down to two this week, so Ann and Hillary decide to do a slightly abbreviated (hahahahaha) Small Talk Spectacular and chat about the things that have been occupying their lives. Ann got back into the competitive trivia circuit and revived the Ho Ho Holiday movie review. DJ HBomb made an appearance at the company holiday party and then got hoisted on her own birthday petard. Additional topics include office kitchen shuttle runs, whether ingesting soapy water gives you diarrhea, how come nobody was available to check in on Macaulay Culkin, societal treatment of Mary Kay Letourneau’s crimes, and some light complaining about the kids these days.

This week, we’re talking commercials; specifically, the earworm-y jingles that live in the far recesses of our brains, (like those fish that are so deep in the ocean that they’re bioluminescent freaky things). Everybody’s picking their most indelible jingles, and if you don’t know all of these (hyper-local ads excluded), where have you been for the last 40 years? Plus, we ponder a few of life’s essential questions. Namely, are classifieds still a thing? Did all 80’s media end with a mid-air freeze frame? Was Don Draper in charge of the Oscar Mayer account?

The music we listen to in our youth stamps an imprint on our souls, whether we want it to or not. So, Hillary, Meredith, and Ann are heading back to the 90s to revisit some of the (mostly) one-hit wonders that still live in the recesses of our brains. Mediocre musicianship, uninspired composition, and narrow vocal range aside, these tunes are catchy, y’all. Which song (surprisingly) passes the Bechdel test? Whose parents schlepped her to two mediocre concerts in two days? Which Audrey Hepburn classic was actually the inspiration for a radio juggernaut?

Don’t worry, we won’t discuss the 2013 film starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson (or will we?).In small talk, Bobby’s got some BIG (and small) news, Hillary’s trying to live through chaos (mostly unsuccessfully), and it’s Ann’s getting back into the best season.

Where do we overlap, and where are we off on our own internet islands? Plus: Ann doesn’t know much about lofi beats—but she has strong words for Jamiroquai. Hillary is excited for her new bathroom—but not the process. Bobby freed a mouse—or served up an easy meal to a neighborhood predator. Meredith once made a mousetrap with an aspirin and chapstick—but maybe should have used a Flintstones vitamin.

Some of the topics on the docket: the successes and failures of Meredith’s trip to the Twin Cities, how Bobby’s cats are (finally) attempting to be useful members of the family, Ann’s lack of knowledge re: where the boys are, and the concept of Bossy Bingo (thanks for that, listener Bet). Plus, appliance repair, Labor Day plans, the importance of a padfolio for job interviews, and a surplus of passionfruit.TSHE Recommends: N/A (listen, when neither Hillary or Christy is on the show, basically all we have to recommend are 30 year-old episodes of Iron Chef or Deep Space Nine)Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

In that spirit, we’re recounting tales about neighbors, good and bad (but let’s be real, they’re mostly bad). We discuss unexpected political friction, neighborhood creeps, the importance of locking your doors, neighborly situations we wish we’d handled differently, and some friendly arson. Plus, it turns out that Hillary is a road trip dad, while Meredith continues to discover new and exciting health issues to deal with.

From the platonic ideal of a Triscuit, to a “meat essence” salt bomb, to staples of our childhood, to what we serve when we’re being fancy, we’ve got thoughts about crackers. There’s a live taste test, disposable mini-plates, the Saltine Cracker Challenge, and some delicious little cannibal bites.

Technology is changing with head-spinning speed these days; it’s inevitable that Skynet will eventually take over society, so we’d better be ready when it happens. Accordingly, Christy, Hillary, and Ann, along with guest host and AI-realist Jeremy, are talking about the things we’d love to offload onto not-quite sentient beings when we get the chance. Some of our choices are expected (various chores), some less so (medical stand-ins), but we’re determined to make the robot revolution work for us. Plus, Christy has a whole bunch of life updates, Hillary is a 90s girl, and Ann says it’s Heinz or nothing.TSHE Recommends:Shiny Happy PeopleThe Book of Lost Names by Kristin HarmelHard Fork: The Surgeon General’s Social Media Warning + A.I.’s Existential RisksConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We love our medium talk, but sometimes we just want to discuss the small (and sometimes very small in Bobby's case) stuff in our lives. That’s right, it’s an Oops, All Small Talk/Small Talk Spectacular Edition of the show! Our topics and tangents include: meatballs, grape prices, produce stability, Hayden Christensen’s career trajectory, British genetics, kidney stones, Cleveland!, rose bushes, hand pies, legitimacy of 5th grade graduations, and (unsurprisingly) so so much more.

Bobby, Ann and Hillary have packed the folding tables, the camp chairs, the lawn blankets and, of course, their appetites for a special summer kickoff potluck! What are we bringing to the buffet table? What do we avoid in the game of salmonella roulette? And who’s going to remember the ice?Plus: Bobby tries snacks so you don’t have to.

Listen, life can be long, and happiness isn’t a constant state of being, so you’ve gotta do what you can to spark joy. In that spirit, we’re talking about the little things that we relish on a day-to-day basis. Whether it’s using water to “blast away the depression,” indulging in perhaps slightly obsessive kitchen organization, “Go Bills”-ing our way around the world, or savoring the 8:05, we’ve all got those small pleasures that remind us why we get out of bed in the morning (also so that we can change the sheets). Plus, Ann is literally on the move. Meredith had a terrible horrible no good very bad week.

This is the true story…of three strangers…picked to live in a few houses…work together…and have their lives taped…to find out what happens…when people stop being polite…and start getting real: TSHE. In the first of what will surely be a multi-part series, Hillary, Christy, and Jeremy talk reality shows - the good, the bad, the ugly, and the importance of paying writers a fair wage. In other news, Hillary talks about growing up and liking it, Jeremy dreams of driving across the middle of Australia, and Christy thinks she can dominate Big Brother.

We’re taking the Sienna to the windy streets of the Bay Area this week! That’s right, our TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular (™) travels up the 101 and parks it in NorCal! Things are about to get hella weird. From the freewheeling lifestyle of Maude to the baseball statistics of Billy Bean,  we consider a variety of movies mostly centered on the Bay Area. Some important questions include: Is Ted Cruz’s dad the Zodiac Killer? Why is early 90’s technology so awesome? How old is Harold supposed to be? Why is Tom Skerritt the patron saint of TSHE?In small talk, Bobby deals with an emergency xylophone situation, Ann has a new chair (chair, chair, chair, chair!), and we discuss SAS mode.

The TSHE crew spent last week’s show dwelling on all the ways our imposter syndrome manifests, and so that you don’t think we’re all relentless self-criticism all the time, we’ve decided to take this week to share how much we freaking rock. Listen, it’s a shorter conversation, but still a good one. From event planning to leadership skills, social engineering to keeping all sorts of things alive and thriving, we’re an accomplished bunch. Plus, Christy’s cursed car takes another blow, Hillary shares a new commercial real estate kink, and how “tasting Ann’s baked goods” is not a euphemism. Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re experienced scientists, we’re seasoned bakers, we’re veteran moms, but in certain circumstances, we feel like we have no idea what the hell we’re doing! Today your hosts are diving into their psyches to figure out why we still sometimes feel like imposters.  In small talk, Hillary and Meredith both navigate the complicated waters of the medical world.  Spoiler alert - we survived and Ann gave us gold stars!! Finally, we contemplate why in the world Chris Pratt is the voice of Mario. It makes no sense!TSHE RecommendsMichael ClaytonConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Most of us have to work to live, but that doesn’t mean we have to live to work. So what about when we’re done working? (Will we ever be done working?)This week, where do you get off? From the daily grind, that is. Not financial planning (more like social insecurity, amirite?), but rather, where we see ourselves when the time for retirement comes. (If it comes.) Everything from hobbit houses and Stardew Valley to sailing the open seas—or at least, cruising the open European rivers. All that plus: Meredith went to a Nerd Palace, Ann’s out on Chris Pratt, and Hillary and Bobby met up in NYC where, spoiler alert, everything is expensive. But at least they got to experience the M&M Store through the eyes of an 11-year-old Slay Queen. Anyone want to join us for some shuffleboard?TSHE RecommendsHHC - It Happened One SummerRoll For Sandwich“Getting a little stoned and watching Magic Mike 2” Connect with the show!

While it’s true that this show has everything, we’re especially fond of talking about food. The problem that plagues us, however, is less about eating, and more about the extensive, never-ending process of planning said food. In that vein, Bobby, Ann, and Meredith are talking about food planning and prep. Are we a snack house or an ingredient house? Do we prefer big batch or single meal cooking? Do we troll websites for new recipes, or stick with the tried and true dishes? Plus, Bobby made a new friend, Meredith sank her (allergy) battleship, and we hereby convene the first meeting of the Ron Magill Fanclub – TSHE chapter. Oh, and sorry for the astonishing amount of talk about bodily excretions.

The gang was busy dealing with life this week, so we opened the TSHE pantry and pulled out a classic episode. Almost exactly a year ago we did a deep dive into the subject of breakfast cereals, and it’s stayed so crunchy in the milk of time (ew) that we decided to have another bowl. Please enjoy past us as we rhapsodize about the cereals of our youth, try to nail down the specifics of a complete, balanced breakfast, and share what still gets us going in the morning.

In celebration of the long President’s Day weekend, your TSHE hosts are here to talk about leadership. From choir/thespian president to newspaper editor to the infernal group project, we discuss getting sucked in to being in charge (and get surprisingly deep/sincere, while we’re at it). Please, take it from us, just say no to the HOA Board (you’re still a good person)!In small talk, Bobby stares down the hipster path with an octogenarian friend and some roasting beans.

Once again, it’s the Season of Love, but rather than celebrating enforced displays of romantic appreciation, the TSHE Coven is here to share our ideas on dates that let you know this person is NOT your soulmate. America’s national pastime, various live performances with individualized attention, trendy events, and extreme sports – they’re all under fire as examples of what would send us running.

The TSHE Book Club is back with a vengeance and what Clive Cussler’s Sahara lacks in nutritional content, it more than makes up for in sexism, racism, and boring us back to death because we’re already dead.Actually, we enjoyed parts of the ride. But not as much as we enjoyed a special Dad Book Quiz by one Guest Producer Gregory Schreckengost.

Facechat, Tweeter, Ticky Tocky, Instabook - follow along as your TSHE hosts mine the depths (or shallows) of their relationship with social media. We talk about our early days on social media (where is the Live Journal archive?!), and how we feel about it all now. Some lingering questions: Will Bobby’s Santa-themed fedora pic be found? Who are these Lundholm bots? Is WhatsApp the metric system of social media? Don’t miss the hilarious and embarrassing look back at the Facebook posts of yore (please refer to the show picture). In small talk, we preview our upcoming book club! Sahara by dad book author extraordinaire, Clive Cussler! Also, an important chapter of Ann’s life closes. Finally, Hillary might be insane or the best mom? As Ann’s therapist says - two things can be true at once!

The TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular has finally hit the West Coast, and the Honda Odyssey is rolling into the City of Angels as we reflect on some movies that showcase the glitter and grime of Los Angeles. What do our movie picks have in common? Plenty of guns, an abundance of drugs, and a heaping helping of nudity, for starters. From brainless rich kids to crooked cops, middle-class stoners to troubled porn stars, there’s something for everyone in this show. Plus, Hillary’s been dragged into the cookie life, and Christy’s dealing with an unfortunate line/not-a-line situation [Ed.

That’s right, your TSHE entertainment correspondents are here to discuss the pop culture we loved, maybe hated, and gossip we couldn’t stop talking about. Christy and Hillary discuss a ton of pop culture topics including the state of the mid-tier movie, theater going in general, what we’re looking forward to in 2023, and, of course, Haz & Meg!In small talk, please bear with Hillary as she regains her voice (literally).

Bite into our Stevie Wonder sandwich and discover the superstitions we’re mostly, kinda, pretty sure aren’t real things? The Lady Scientists are skeptical, while the Lady Non-scientists talk a lot about how numbers feel. Hillary thinks she may be clairvoyant. Meredith should be an X-Man (X-Person?) Christy’s wish karma lets her down. Ann pushes a wishbone discussion down a grotesque path.

Credit score-havers Ann, Hillary, and Meredith have all slid down the slippery slope of credit card debt, so today we’re reflecting on the whys (we were poor, duh), the hows (guys, don’t link your credit card to your bank), and the whats (all of Target) that got us there. But never fear, it’s not all stories of anxiety and low-level check kiting! We’re also talking about what we did to rehabilitate our financial report cards, how we practice healthy credit habits now, how boob health correlates to credit score, and how to find your perfect card.

The Canada geese are heading south, but here at TSHE, the surest sign of fall is a new season of The Great British Bake Off. We would never let this annual gathering of amateur bakers pass without celebrating, so the lady scientists are here to break it down. From Scandinavian sandwiches to putrid pizzas, we’ve got opinions on it all (and even though it might sound like complaining, we criticize out of love, people). Lovely and endearing contestants? Check? Baking inspiration? Check. Lots and lots of gelatin? Check. Genteel cultural insensitivity? Check. Witness as Ann and Meredith sign THSE’s first Pudding Pact.

It’s the last (for now) episode in our travel series, and we still need to talk about what makes the experience work just a little more smoothly for us. Accordingly, Ann, Bobby, and Meredith are taking the Subaru, hanging up a garbage quiver, and delving into a whole bunch of travel tips, large and small, including all the gems you submitted. In between the National Emerald Club aisle and the lobby of the Hampton Inn, we detour off the highway to get into some pillow talk (not the good kind), ponder the possibilities of ring tattoos, and yearn for a pain-free existence on several fronts.TSHE Recommends:A League of Their OwnNever Have I EverConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Though it’s a dying art, today’s TSHE crew are acting as your personal travel agents and giving you our top destinations. From the overwater huts of the Maldives, to, surprisingly, the state parks of Ohio, we talk about places we’ve loved and places we aspire to journey. In fact, we list so many locations, we had to skip our personal travel tips (though we know Bobby just wants to go to the Delta Lounge with Sal). In a power-packed small talk, Ann details her path to evil (mwahaha), Hillary has an ice cream induced panic attack, Meredith is uncharacteristically tongue-tied, and the Pape family is in their final countdown as residents of Rat Alley. Oh, and we’ve figured out an alternate timeline in which Joe Rogan does not become the scourge of the nation!   TSHE RecommendsWorldle/GlobleThe SandmanConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

This week, it’s time for a childhood slumber party special as we watch and riff along to “The Ultimate Love/Skate Relationship,” 1992’s The Cutting Edge starring Moira Kelly, D.B. Sweeney, and an Olympic-sized stadium of cinema tropes. Get it loaded up on Amazon Prime and press play on our mark to watch along with us, or if you’re Hillary, just listen along without watching. Either way, use of sparklers indoors is NOT advised. All this plus: Ann’s has a new freeloading roommate—but hopefully not for long.Connect with the show! This is your show, too.

Welcome to an Oops! All Small Talk episode of This Show Has Everything in which we chronicle all the shenanigans we got into over these past two weeks. We are back in our homes physically but have a lot of emotions and events to unpack! Some topics include: flat tires, beautiful weddings, funerals, COVID, Torchy’s, broken ACs, cars that won’t start, creepy hotels, pimiento cheese, veteran podcasters, Paschal’s, canceled flights, Salsa Doña, trespassing on a dead president’s compound, hot and gross airplane passengers, and so, so much more. We all had fun traveling (and veer into travel tips) but are SO happy to be back, baby!TSHE RecommendsThe Last Movie StarsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re still scrambling to get home from weddings, memorials, and everything in-between, so the Council of Lady Scientists have again convened (that’s the word!) to bring you a TSHE Classic Episode. Meredith and Ann managed to re-traumatize themselves by re-listening to money pit woes and shook their heads at our mid-pandemic innocence as we discussed how we managed to hold things together for SIX WHOLE MONTHS, along with what we hoped wouldn’t come back with the reopening of society. Plus, an edition of our dearly departed “Review Your Amazon Purchases” segment where Mike was delightfully confounded by SEO-focused product descriptions.This episode, #44: Chair, Chair, Chair, Chair!, originally aired August 2, 2020.Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

Your TSHE hosts are off jetting around the country, but before they left, the Council of Lady Scientists of TSHE (CoLSoTSHE) convened to dig through our archives and find a “best-of” episode for your listening pleasure. We couldn’t resist a quick sidebar to ponder the proper unit of bulk cheese, as well as raise the Grease 2 watch-along from the dead, but we were mostly just delighted at how enthusiastic we were about dairy back in the early days of the show. So, tuck a Babybel in your kneepit to honor the memory of our dear friend Mike Frizzell as you listen to us rhapsodize for 90 minutes over delicious, delicious cheese.This episode, #9: Situational Swiss and Other Cheeses, originally aired December 8, 2019.Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

This week: Our childhood hopes and dreams—at least for our professional lives. Also: Wonky the future Cat-Hulk, a Rise of Gru review, Bobby’s 15 minutes of local news fame, and a voicemail that absolutely positively isn’t about lube.This description would have been longer, but we’re in a hurry to go watch The Cutting Edge on LaserDisc.

Have you ever wanted to spend the summer doing charades, trying on wigs, learning the pachanga, and sneaking off to perform at the Sheldrake?  Well do we have the show for you! Our dear pal Jeremy has broken the shackles of his evangelical youth and finally watched the 1987 classic Dirty Dancing. We get into no dancing pledges, watermelon shapes, the dark realities of abortion bans, homeschool rollerskating, laserdiscs, and much, much more. Join hands and hearts and voices as we’re here to discuss this cinematic masterpiece. With Jeremy joining us, you know we’re going to get into some interesting territory! Some other subjects include baby powder usage (chafing!), sewing (fanny pack customization!), and obviously re-learning American history (Lewis and Clark’s gastrointestinal situation!).TSHE RecommendsOnly Murders in the Building (aka Christy and Ann were right)To Good to Go AppConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s no secret that here at TSHE we looooove to talk about food, and this episode is no different. Accordingly, we’re riding a river of oil to the Webster Firemen’s Carnival to check in on the good, the bad, and the ugly of fair food (Renaissance “Faires” may or may not be included). Whether it’s cased meat, fried dough, a quasi-vegetable, or the abomination that is “Australian Battered Potatoes,” we’re game to try it all. Plus, Bobby feels old, Ann reaches a medical milestone, and Hillary’s still waiting to be discovered for her special talent.TSHE Recommends:The Summer I Turned PrettyDopesickFire IslandConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The full TSHE Family is together again to explore the range of possibilities caused, maybe, by birth order. Are eldest kids always the responsible ones? Are only children always independent? Are middle children always the mediators? How long does the youngest child get carried to the breakfast table? And most of all—is there any actual science behind any of this? Plus: Critter Corner, the uncanny valley of accents, our insatiable desire for more Somebody Feed Phil, and all the pop culture you can’t wait to experience this summer. TSHE RecommendsHalftime Connect with the show!

It’s hot (at least in Texas), the days are long, but your favorite entertainment reporters are back to guide you on the pop culture things we’re stoked about this summer. Music, movies, TV, books, podcasts - we cover it all! Grab your popcorn, and diet coke and let’s go!  In small talk, Hillary saw Phil!! Live and in person!! Christy went on an epic road trip and got a little wild. We also discuss our history of trying out for various game shows (sadly, with no luck), and talk about our listeners favorite game shows. Obviously that sends us down many tangents including, but not limited to, Jim Jay Bullock, Nick at Nite, and Get in Shape Girl. Sounds about right for us!

As children of the 80s and 90’s, the TSHE hosts have all spent our fair share of time in front of the television (even those of us whose parents were determined to limit our screen time). To celebrate all those useless tv hours, Hillary, Meredith, and Ann have gathered to unearth our inner Vannas and discuss game shows – those we loved as children, watched as adults, or want to check out in the future. Which thinly veiled advertising bonanza fascinated us most? Are we best suited for physical or mental challenges (as if you couldn’t tell)? Who would be on our Family Feud team? Is there a current primetime viewing event to rival Regis and his monochromatic wardrobe? Plus, Hillary has experienced podcast nirvana, Ann is a woman of substance, and Meredith just wants to watch people fall down.TSHE Recommends: Somebody Feed PhilQuiz ShowConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

#139: TSHE Classic: Nirvana in a Passat (TYFYS, Mike)It’s Memorial Day Weekend, and we couldn’t think of a better way to follow up Car Talk and to remember our favorite Veteran Podcaster than to crack open the TSHE Vault to replay this road trip recap Instant Classic. Because what’s a more fitting tribute to Mike Frizzell’s long tenure as a co-founder and co-host on this show than our doing as little work as possible? (We love you and we miss you, Mike.) This episode, #43: Nirvana in a Passat, originally aired July 27, 2020. Come find me!

It’s another TSHE road show as we pile into the Toyota Tercel to smoke cigarettes and listen to Nine Inch Nails (because we’re cool that way). Bobby, Hillary, and Ann are talking cars – ones we drove, ones we owned, and ones we’d someday like to own. Along our journey through the tangent-filled conversational backroads, we cover how your driver’s license equals freedom, the anxiety of driving a stick-shift, how much truck is too much truck, and our driving hypocrisies. Hillary claims her minivan “doesn’t really smell like barf anymore”, Bobby once Tokyo-drifted his clunker off a tollway, and Ann has an issue with naming cars after colors. Plus, your novel methods for murder, and we hope our favorite Austin-based DJ lands on her feet.TSHE Recommends: Taco MacFree COVID-19 TestsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

What do you get when you mix some Basic Instinct with a dash of Hand that Rocks the Cradle? Are men named Jeremy worth risking it all? Should we start antagonistic journaling? We have a lot of questions, and that means it’s time for another installment of the TSHE book club! This time we’re diving into the dark and twisted world of Verity by Colleen Hoover (aka CoHo). We have some THOUGHTS on this book, and honestly can’t wait for the eventual movie watch-along!While we ruminate on the creepiness/sexiness/grossness of this particular novel, we also have to discuss Hillary’s emerging fandom, Christy’s household invader, and Bobby’s future journey to the City of Angels (pastrami, anyone?).  Additionally, our readers are some very hip nerds when it comes to magazines.

From checkout aisle impulse buys to keeping airline miles alive, magazines continue to be a surprisingly relevant part of our lives. This week, Hillary, Meredith and Bobby break down our favorites from when we were kids, as well as what we read today, and what we’d do if we started our own publication today—only about 30 years late for the last true zine craze. Plus: Hillary’s trip to a school spa/probable super-spreader event, Bobby’s trip to a work conference/nerd hookup event, Meredith’s trip through the stages of reality setting in that she has a new cat, your disappointing realities (many of which were ripped from the headlines), and the return of everyone’s favorite interstellar fucksuit.TSHE RecommendsFolex Connect with the show!

Have you ever been completely psyched for something only to find out it wasn’t what you were expecting? Yeah, we’ve all been there, so Ann, Hillary, and Meredith are sorting through some of the disappointing realities we’ve faced. Exciting new jobs, skin products, beach fantasies, boomer cuisine, and psilocybins are among the things that turned out to be a bummer for us. Along the way we veer into a variety of topics, including the OJ Simpson trial, “creepy militia” movies, the relative hotness of Benedict Cumberbatch, clothing-optional beaches, and 15-year-old assholery. Plus, Meredith is up to her eyeballs in cats (so what’s new?), and Hillary’s celebrating parenthood with a bottle of Folex.TSHE Recommends: The Real World HomecomingConnect with the showThis is your show, too.

We’ve got a Skerrit, we’ve got a Strathairn, and we’ve got many, many rivers. We’re heading into our official podcast time zone, driving the Sienna into the Mountain West to ponder some movies about the beautiful Big Sky Country. Wyoming, Montana, Idaho - here we come! From the heartbreaking to the silly, we discuss different types of masculinity, the beauty and confusion of flyfishing, Tri-Delts from SMU, and how awesome Meryl Streep is.In small talk, Bobby has been struck down by Ms. Rona, Meredith has an exciting otoscope adventure, and Hillary tries to impart historical Bay Area wisdom to her daughter.

The last few years have felt like the universe might be testing us (spoiler alert: we’re failing), so we’ve decided it’s high time we had a heart-to-heart about religion. President Priest Bobby, clandestine soap-pumper Meredith, and whale digestion-questioner Ann are talking about our experiences with the Methodist/Episcopalian/Lutheran churches, as well as some of our family Easter traditions. Plus, Ann’s one utility mishap away from total collapse, Meredith’s saving her floors one squeak at a time, and Bobby’s quest to cut carbs is hampered by the result of the 2022 TSHE Munchie Madness bracket challenge.

Hoo boy, were we in a mood for some juvenile innuendo during this recording! In between double entendres and the resulting gales of laughter, we’re talking about our weird spending decisions. From clothes to chocolate, batteries to bedding, here are the things about which we are either strangely cheap or strangely extravagant (the point is that we’re strange). Hillary’s firing off her dollar bill gun. Meredith is poverty-rebounding. Ann rhapsodizes about ice cream. Bobby likes beating the big boys.

We’re talking vampires and leprechauns here!In a largely small talk heavy show, we discuss Hillary's spring break journey to a sweet town hiding some dark secrets and shirtless gentlemen. Ann deals with some potential digital moles living in her condo (the 5G vax got her?). We also discover how altruistic our listeners are.

Turns out, we’re probably too responsible to go full Scrooge McDuck. All that plus: Bobby’s barber charm offensive, Meredith’s mistaken e-dentity, Ann’s coffin lined with kouign amann, Christy’s bowl of Fruity Pebbles and Olde English, and listeners’ thoughts on cereal including a voicemail from Justyna about Buc Wheats.

We’re gathering around the virtual kitchen table to talk about a subject with universal appeal: the world of cereal. The gang has a lot of questions to answer, so we need to get on this before the milk expires. Which cereal is “slimy on the outside, dusty on the inside?” What comprises a complete, balanced breakfast? What do Cheerios even taste like? Plus, packaging problems, how Cracklin’ Oat Bran is a trap, and be on the lookout for our upcoming March Munchies/Munchy Madness bracket challenge! In host goings-on, Hillary played her husband like a (Dropkick Murphys) fiddle. Ann has a toilet update. We uncover more evidence of Bobby’s prematurely old man tendencies.

On this week’s show, we’re abandoning our usual nonsense (well, some of it anyway) and getting into our feelings. Ann, Hillary, and Meredith are talking about anxiety and how we deal with it (not well, it turns out). From imagining worst-case scenarios, to feeling responsible to other people’s emotions, to anxiety dreams come true, we’re detailing the way it affects our daily lives. Strategies for coping include switching off, championship organizing, medical speed, and Therapy 101.  Plus, Hillary has a one-of-a-kind vintage 1988 birthday t-shirt she’s not selling, Meredith is feeling strangely positive about the federal government, and Ann shares a horrifying story about a toilet (you’re welcome).TSHE Recommends: A Woman of No ImportanceMurdervilleConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular resumes as we jump onto our John Deere and head north to check out some movies from the Upper Midwest (sorta). We check out the real estate market on Mt Rushmore, have an existential crisis in an Iowa cornfield (36 is SOOOO old) before heading down the road to climb a water tower, cringe over a black comedy that misses the pageant mark, and watch a bashful Norwegian farmer find love on the prairie. It’s a real smorgasbord!

While some of us are still on the move, 60% percent of your TSHE hosts have dragged their bleary-eyed selves to the studio on January 1st to catch up and sort through their newly acquired emotional baggage.  Bobby lost the nutcracker pool. Meredith’s senses are being confused by her new gift. Ann brought a little something back with her from Los Angeles.

Live from the Snow Falls Guest House, the whole TSHE family is fathered ‘round their Netflix screens to riff on the 2017 made-for-Nextflix holiday movie Christmas Inheritance. Fire it up and watch along with us! (If you don’t, most of the episode won’t make much sense. Also, if you usually speed us up, remember to set your podcatcher to 1.0x!)TSHE Recommends Christmas Inheritance, obviously Connect with the show! This is your show, too.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…for The Coven to get grumpy about gifts! Spoiler alert - “gifting” doesn’t rank high on any of our love languages. Join us as we talk gift philosophies, consumerism, ugly sweater parties, and the intricate strategy of White Elephant/Yankee Swaps. We finally delve into some truly fantastic gifts we’ve received. See, we’re not complete grinches!In small talk the ladies discuss some MAJOR changes to the TSHE universe (winky winky), Hillary’s brush with celebrity, another drive down 90s sitcom lane, and an installment of the newly named Ho Ho Holiday Movies with Ann (™)!ALSO!

Get out your bottle of chard, listeners!  It's time for another installment of the TSHE Book Club! This week, we discuss The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. Discussion points include: Could Ann possibly live in Carrot Stick studios? Is magical realism cool or a cop-out? Could you improv your way in a different version of your life? How does consent work in this world? Does anyone have life figured out? So many questions that break our brains! In small talk, Meredith is (kinda, sorta) giving up on a habit while Ann is picking it up (BEZOS!). We also take a brief trip down memory lane to discuss some truly terrible MTV videos that haunted our youths. And praise-be, Ann is reviving her Ho-based rating system for the Netflix Classic (?) Hometown Holiday. Should us city-dwellers be offended by this movie? Probably! TSHE Recommends:Tick Tick BoomConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

#113: Family KetchupThe Thanksgiving holiday was long and stressful, plus we’re still kinda in our feelings around here, so this week we’re hanging out and doing a TSHE family catch up. We’ve got debriefs on our various Turkey Day shenanigans, with topics including pie futures, the masculinity of coin-collecting, a turkey’s “inner life,” and how Bobby is a very extremely good son. Meredith hit a bullseye re: NPR on-the-nose music choices, Lundholm Construction LLC is back in business, Bobby has a fascinating recommendation conundrum, and we confront Hillary about palling around town with DJ Jen Lasher. Plus, your lovely thoughts about Mike.TSHE Recommends: PassingKing RichardWKRP in Cincinnati FlagConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Editor’s note: This episode was recorded before Mike Frizzell died on November 13, 2021. While we address it at the top of the show, we will discuss in much more depth shortly. RIP, our Veteran Podcaster (™).The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular flies into Earth’s orbit back into the Toyota Sienna and up the road to Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas!

Bottom line - we just really, really want to party with Truman Capote.In small talk, Hillary’s kids are partially vaxxed! They also watched a mildly inappropriate movie (whoops).

We’ve talked about candy so much recently that we decided we should make some of our own, so the TSHE Kitchens have re-opened to allow Ann to coach Meredith, Hillary, and Christy through the sticky chemistry of making marshmallows. Turn on your front left burner, prep your mixer for some hard work, CTRL-SHIFT-R your pdf (because you’re not a boomer), and follow along as the temperature on the candy/meat thermometer rises. Plus, a birthday journey recap, more real talk about money and financial choices, Christy regrets the error(s), and Ann has a brilliant business idea.TSHE Recommends: Elyse Myers on TikTokConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

We’re tackling a big topic this week, so Ann, Christy, and Meredith finish their Honey Nut Cheerios, park their light blue Volkswagen Beetle convertibles, and settle into talk about personal finances. And yes, we give specific numbers. From our family histories to our financial philosophies, we’re sharing how we think and feel about money, as well as some of the mistakes we’ve made along the way. Did you lack an understanding of basic finance? Were you bullied because of your Costco membership status? How far did you get under the thumb of J.Crew? One thing we learned is that we should all probably have a Sherrie in our life. Plus, a mid-season check-in on The Great British Baking Show, a visit to the Anatomy of Death Museum (how would you like your body disposed of?), and why nobody should light a flame near Mom’s car.TSHE Recommends:The Repair ShopButt NewsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s Spooky Halloween Time (Spooky Halloween Time!) and Bobby, Christy, Hillary and Ann have gathered to discuss the most important part of this sacred season—the candy. From top treats to worst tricks and childhood memories to adult stashing strategies, this episode is the house that gives out full-size bars in the cul-de-sac that is your podcatcher.Also included this week: Bobby is a candy corn convert, Ann refuses to be cold this winter, Hillary can’t contain herself during a conversation about the length and girth of Tootsie Rolls, Christy has been granted a reprieve from the startling sounds of monster farts, listeners tell us where they’ve gotten lost, and we all fall down a rabbit hole about ‘90s TV classics.

Getting lost is a communal fear of some of your TSHE hosts. While we all (obviously) have a good sense of direction now, Meredith, Bobby, and Hillary discuss their tales of being adrift. Whether it is in the wilds of Hawaii, on the mean streets of Grand Rapids, or even in our own damn neighborhood, getting lost is completely disorienting, frustrating, and mostly just sucks. But at least you get a funny story out of it (unless you end up in Waco)!In small talk, Hillary’s parental smugness leads to karmic retribution, Bobby has a run-in with a possible former Batmobile, and Meredith is eating all the potato and pasta-based meals on her single lady weekend. Does she know how to party or what?? Also, all of y’all are making the outside of planes dirty!TSHE Recommends:Taskmaster Season 4Daisy Jones & The SixConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Along with being Birthday Month™ in the TSHE Universe, October brings the Coven out to get spooooky. Bite into our Stevie Wonder sandwich and discover the superstitions we’re mostly, kinda, pretty sure aren’t real things? The Lady Scientists are skeptical, while the Lady Non-scientists talk a lot about how numbers feel. Hillary thinks she may be clairvoyant. Meredith should be an X-Man (X-Person?) Christy’s wish karma lets her down. Ann pushes a wishbone discussion down a grotesque path. Plus, you’d think the devil has better things to do than hang around 24/7, and we have the hookup for all your ghost-hunting needs. Oh, and we spend a lot of time talking about cake.

Today we have a pop culture extravaganza!!  Movies, podcasts, tv, what have you! It’s basically an oversized TSHE recommends. Christy and Hillary break down the Emmys (good wins, bad wins, and what’s the deal with B Positive?). Also, Jeremy makes a return appearance to tell us what he’s been up to - road trips in South Dakota (or a Dakota?), battling the productivity beast, space, you know, the usual! We eventually get to our recent pop culture obsessions.

Current ongoing catastrophes have left us with some extra time to fill; from sourdough “mothers” to incomplete jigsaw puzzles, the entire world has had to develop some new interests, and TSHE’s Coven is no different. We’re talking about our hobbies this week - not only the new ones, but also the ones we’ve nurtured for many years. From arts and crafts to physical exertion to whatever this show is, we have a rich roster of interests to dig through. Meredith is a loyal subject of King Arthur. Hillary’s raising her pulse. Ann has an odd burial request. Christy’s into other people’s drama.

The TSHE Cinema Roadtrip Spectacular has launched into space! From space bugs to primers to a bevy of 80’s babes, your very, very competent TSHE hosts are hoping to land this show safely in White Sands with oxygen to spare. A sample of some questions we ask - do Matthew McConaughey and Jodie Foster have chemistry (no)? Is Wall-E more depressing now (yes)? Is Jessica Chastain beautiful (yes, but maybe slightly too glamorous for an astronaut)? Who should’ve played Johnny Rico (JOSH BROLIN!)? One thing we know for sure, we have to group our Skerritts and our Buseys!In other news, Hillary has both a great and disgusting time in Galveston. Our listeners give us some lovely feedback as to what they would do if money and insurance weren’t a concern (y’all are very good people).  And if you send us a voice memo, we promise we won’t cuss you out! TSHE Recommends:We don’t have anything, but Space Camp is free on YouTube!Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

In honor of Episode 101, we’re going back to school by answering your questions about ourselves and the show. Bobby goes topical fast, Christy’s in deep vacation mode, Ann is doing some edgy backwards chair-sitting, and Meredith is a criminal bully wetland heiress.

Then, we hop over to the TSHE Billboard Top 100 and check out what was in the charts when we were born. Did anyone say disco?? Also on tap: Meredith has a new new job and some old new relatives.

The criteria is loose, the consideration is intense, and the results are final.Plus, Ann went back to the office (briefly), Hillary’s kids are going back to school (eventually), Bobby is slowly automating his new apartment with remote power switches (awesomely), and we take a moment to remember our favorite OG butt-faxer (lovingly).*Actually it’s the Top 6, because it’s our show and we do what we want.TSHE Recommends Gene and RogerOutlet Remote ControlsThis Old Chestnut (Not now Dottie, you vulgar lush!) Connect with the show!

Here at TSHE we’re always willing to engage in self-examination (navel-gazing?) in order to know ourselves better, and we’ve concluded that we might not be perfect. Accordingly, Meredith, Hillary, and Ann have come together to share the worst of our bad habits (such as they are). Hillary’s a gross person. Meredith’s on the cusp of inventing a new art form. Ann unaccountably procrastinates one single chore. Plus, we go deep on fridge talk, determine the presence or absence of cannibals in Texas Hill Country, and list “all the Davids in the world.” TSHE Recommends: Brat: An '80s StoryFallingConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s getting steamy in the TSHE studios, and we don’t just mean the weather. In an episode with even more utter nonsense than usual, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are talking about the onscreen characters who leave us a little hot and bothered. From a distant father to a righteous truth teller, a Young Republican to the quintessential Gen-X idols, our tastes are both wide AND shallow. Along the way we ask the following questions: is he hot, or just tall? How do you know if someone’s a bad boy? Do we need a Boom of Sales? Also, Hillary got wet ‘n’ wild, Ann makes a rebuttal to a rebuttal, and Christy has some slightly problematic fantasies about her ideal parents.Ed.

We’re back to the neverending cinema road trip and this time, we’re jumping into the Ford F150, driving to the state we all love to hate and sometimes love to love - the Lone Star State.  From anachronistic fashion to fantastic self haircuts (and extremely bizarre KitKat eating), we’ve decidedly messed with Texas on this pit stop. All right all right, all right!In small talk, Bobby might not have run a half marathon, but he was a hero nonetheless (while also tussling with the hotel staff).

We’ve all had jobs (except for you, trust fund kids!) where the hours were long, the pay wasn’t great, and the work itself may or may not have been fulfilling (hello, kitchen grease). Despite all of this, our satisfaction at work has most often depended on the person who supervised us. In that spirit, Christy, Meredith, and Ann are talking about the bosses who lifted us up, as well as the bosses who demeaned us. Wonderful, supportive people who wanted us to be successful? Check. Selfish, egotistical jerks who have no business being in charge? Check. We’re sharing our admiration and our frustration in equal measures. Christy would like to beat somebody over the head with his special bowl. Ann’s naming names.

So, put on your favorite swimsuit from the Kathy Ireland Collection, pour yourself a glass of Skip and Go Naked, and join us in pondering what could have been, had our dads put us in diving classes.

Here at TSHE, we’re always on the lookout for things that will make us better people (except for our book club. Reminder: make sure to finish reading The Searcher by Tana French for next week’s show). As part of this continuing quest, we’re turning to the most rigorously scientific source of self-diagnostics: the internet quiz.  Ann, Hillary, and Meredith have done the work and are ready to share all the new things we’ve learned. Which of us is the most psychologically disturbed? Do we match up with our designated “dream” jobs? And which Steel Magnolias ladies are we? Although we have some quibbles with the quiz methodologies, it was still a lot of fun.

Hop in the minivan, y’all, we’re heading to the Southeast/South Central region of the US (that’s Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana).In addition to all of the attempted accents, natural teeth, and delicious food we encountered, we discuss Hillary’s adventures with her family (and unfortunate piece of pizza), Ann’s foray to the Minne-Fair (where’s the beer??), and, probably most importantly, the validity of the international piece of the Dayton International Airport (with a Gregory cameo). TSHE actual Roadtrip to New Orleans?  Let’s do it!TSHE Recommends:Paxton Smith's Commencement SpeechSourRutherford FallsTiffany Haddish on Jimmy KimmelBook Club Reminder:TSHE Book Club selection -The Searcher by Tana French.

The Bad Girls of TSHE are back to share some of their experiences living in proximity to others. Some of our neighbors were great, and some were…less great. The discussion includes the liberal use of “spying windows,” the neighborhood DJ, a couple who wasn’t “grossly canoodling,” a Jesus shrine, Mr. Sensitive, and literal scorched earth.

We’re kicking off the TSHE Book Club with a discussion of Hollywood Homicide, by Kellye Garrett. We liked the diversity and the accuracy of the LA setting, but had a few burning questions that needed answers. Did we find our heroine endearingly daffy, or irritatingly incompetent? Was all the textspeak really necessary? Does a certain type of pornography referenced actually exist? (“Bobby, is that a thing?”) How many sweet potato cupcakes did we each give it, and which host felt differently than everybody else? Tune in to find out! In other news, Bobby’s waiting for his race car bed to arrive, Hillary questions the entire premise of 101 Dalmatians, Ann’s already chosen our next book, Meredith has yet another Big Life Update, and Christy makes an amazing contribution to waterbed talk.TSHE Recommends:Anything Goes performance at the 2011 Tony AwardsSlow Burn: The Road to the Iraq WarConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

At long last, Ann, Bobby and Hillary tackle the questions that have been on everyone’s minds (and in the TSHE tickler file) for months now: What is (and isn’t) a cop/not cop show, and more importantly, what—based on strict scientific criteria and rigorous research—are the best and worst cop/not cop shows? You’ll know we weren’t trifling when you see this episode is 2.5 hours long. Also discussed: The Word of the Day, a listener’s (extremely welcome) cat pictures, the form-over-function failings of fondant, Hillary’s hot takes on last week’s Soderberghian Oscars, Bobby’s myriad life updates after a couple of weeks away, and the deeply upsetting things Ann has seen in the bowels of Southdale Center. RIP Kobe Bryant, Alex Trebek and Jessica Walter TSHE Recommends The Improvement Association Connect with the show!

We return to the TSHE kitchens for another episode of Ann’s Baking Academy! This time, ‘The Boomers of Baking’ and ‘The Teacher’s Pet’ (that would be Christy, Hillary, and Meredith) have tied on their aprons to tackle the mystery of choux pastry and make some cream puffs. Will their puffs puff? Was 6 a bad choice? Will Ann take off the training wheels and then push everyone down the hill? Also discussed are your Oscar oversights, if ‘zap’ is an actual scientific measure, how skim milk is bs, whether Bobby is the Scott Rudin of TSHE (he’s not!!), and a tangent about gangrene that is weirdly long for a baking episode.TSHE Recommends: CDornerFitness on YouTubeConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Today this show has everything, and by everything, we mean everything Oscars! That’s right, your fearless pop culture reporters (and Gen X social media experts), Christy and Hillary, are going to walk you through this weird and wild oscar season with some wishes, some predictions, and some memories.

Strippers, sadness, alligators, meth, housing bubbles, murder, pastel art deco. You guessed it! This week our TSHE road trip is bringing us to Florida! We explore our feelings on that particular state and bring a wide variety of movies (mostly) set there to discuss. From the Kings of Tampa to a drag club in Miami, these films really cover the span of Floridian humanity. Ahhh, The Sunshine State.In small talk, Bobby reveals his new name and life situation (while potentially losing status), Meredith describes a near miss murder attempt, and Ann just wants to sing (don’t worry, she does). Mostly we agree that kids these days just need to learn to cheat better.Shameless Amazon Plug of the WeekA Hearty Middle FingerTSHE recommendsTINAMoonlight/La La Land Oscars FiascoConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Aches. Fever. Congestion. All of the pain that lasts about a day as Bill Gates’ new 5G microchips* take hold in your bloodstream and rewrite your DNA. Now that more people are getting their vaccine shots, Bobby, Meredith, Christy and Hillary are dedicating a show to the inevitable sick day you’ll take (even if you don’t really need it) after you get the jab. And we know you will, because you believe in science. And peer pressure. So join us as we share how we spend our down days now, and what made them special when we were kids. The listener with the closest bid without going over could win a beautiful new Broyhill dining room set. All that plus your pettiest grievances, including one listener who’s got a justified turkey beef.

It’s a gathering of the TSHE Coven (After Dark™) and we’ve got some petty grievances to air against our families, coworkers, fellow humans, and, frankly, the universe itself. From broken car promises to climate-controlled spaces to skirt (and money!) theft to avocados, we rehash all the things that just grind our gears. Along the way, we decide that some of these grievances are real and justified, wander into a discussion of college racism, and remember that Michael Jordan was spectacularly talented. Also: Ann has an update on her 12 Months of Gingerbread project, Christy proposes a book club book that goes over like a lead balloon, Hillary revisits an Eighties kid classic, and Meredith apparently just hates the elements.TSHE Recommends:The Last DanceSuperstoreConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The TSHE Coven returns for Women’s History Month, and we’re determined to embrace our time to shine. In that spirit, we’re taking the opportunity to cover a trio of lady-focused health topics (don’t worry, guys – you can listen, too!). Christy and Hillary share a few things they would have liked to know before their mammograms. Meredith found an answer to nightmarish menstrual cycles. Ann was (literally) a wellness program cover girl. We also highlight a few Badass Ladies of Health (BLOH) who’ve made our lives better, whether on a global or local scale. Plus, our Oscars/Royals enthusiasts have some things to discuss, cookie trauma, and we’re all big Jessica Tandy fans.TSHE Recommends: It's a SinBoys StateShameless Amazon Plug of the Week: Isomalt Crystals, 2 lbConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

After weeks of weather delays, the TSHE Cinema Road Trip Spectacular is back on the road as Hillary, Bobby, Ann and Christy head south—“South-South Atlantic,” to be specific. (Except Florida, because that *definitely* needs its own show.) This one’s full of thoughtful choices, from studies of historic inequity (The Color Purple) and not-so-historic inequity (The Hate U Give) to uhhh… lifelong romance (The Notebook) and what we’ll call sharp-witted social commentary (Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby).Plus: Christy got her new bathroom, Bobby got his first vaccine shot, Ann got a new segment, Hillary got a chance to flex her southern accent, and our listeners got creative about how they’d handle flying to Cancun with Ted Cruz.  Shameless Amazon Plugs of the WeekJazz: A (19-hour) Film By Ken Burns (and an ideal wedding gift for Meredith!)TSHE Recommends Moxie on NetflixTSHE Anti-RecommendsGinny & Georgia on NetflixConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Your TSHE (T.S.H.E.) hosts have had quite a momentous few weeks! We have lots of life updates with a major focus on the complete failure of the power and water infrastructure in the State of Texas (HEB not included). Follow Hillary’s somewhat meandering soliloquy describing her frozen journey from Nashville to Dallas, and finally to her very waterless neighborhood in Austin. It’s a frustrating, thrilling, and nail-biting adventure filled with a lot of champagne (obviously).In non-weather related news, Ann has a moment of triumph and an endorphin rush of the common criminal (along with a wonderful, Minnesota-centric birthday Cameo), Bobby has a new renter, Meredith has big, sparkling news, and Hillary just asks everyone to stop pooping.Shameless Amazon Plug of the WeekKosas Sport Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant (Serene Clean)CleverMade Collapsible Laundry Tote, Large Foldable Clothes Hamper Bag, LaundryCaddy CarryAll XL Pop Up Storage Basket with Handles, Midnight/GreyTSHE recommendsThe Morning ShowConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Bobby, Christy, Ann, and special guest host Matt are traveling back to the heady days of picking instruments, finding musical niches, suffering band envy, and making our chorus teachers cry (kids are cruel, yo). We’re discussing our musical histories, bringing up sibling grievances, deciding which group is the coolest* to be in, and asking why instruments are gendered, for God’s sake. In small talk, Ann’s brain is slowly being zapped into goo, Christy needs a larger lockbox, Bobby teleported(?) via the Hilton Honors program, and Matt’s prepping to write a children’s book. Plus, an audio postcard from Hillary, and Wile E.

The time has come once again when, instead of producing original content for the show, we explore the treasure trove of stuff our listeners (and in some cases, our co-hosts) bought on Amazon using our affiliate links. Plus, Meredith is bested by chips and guac, Bobby is a delicate little flower, Christy is struggling with her senses (also her wifi), and Ann … excuse me, Lady Cordelia Fitzgerald … is now a Patreon-level celebrity after a star turn on a podcast that’s undeniably better than ours.

The Coven is back and ready to use our witchy powers for (mostly) good (and possibly a little evil). Today we’re talking about some of the popular shows we came late to love, as well as a few WE WILL NEVER WATCH, SO STOP TELLING US TO. On the list we’ve got genre fare, beloved dramas, renovation tent poles, and game shows from our grandparents’ era. Plus, the trouble with fanatics, a lot of punchable faces, and a good dose of Britney talk. On the personal side, we discuss Ann’s kitchen vacation, Hillary putting on her stalking trenchcoat, Meredith’s exciting news, and Christy’s Facebook group grievance.

This week, we take navel-gazing to a whole new level by way of a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® personality inventory test. Is it bunk science that shouldn’t be taken out of context? Possibly.

Join as we give some reasons to celebrate or at least take a big breath and calm down in this (for the love of God) less chaotic era. In more personal news, Bobby says goodbye to Cupcake (RIP), Meredith travels back to the summer of 1999 in her mind and receives her 2nd Covid vaccine, and Ann might be a professor, but she can be juvenile, too!  Oh, and it wouldn’t be our 69th show without a quick visit to Hillary’s Horny Corner ™  (with a newly implemented rating system).  See, we really have everything!Shameless Amazon Plug of the WeekKindle PaperwhiteTSHE recommendsTigerAll Creatures Great and SmallConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

It’s a special edition of the TSHE Road Trip Across America Cinema Spectacular™ as we make an almost-Inauguration Day stop in Washington DC! Of course, our nation’s Capitol isn’t just a place—it’s a state of mind. Our wide array of movies reflects a range of perspectives on government and politics and life as we anxiously await a peaceful (hopefully) transfer of power.  Plus: TSHE Listener and District of Columbia resident Anne Louise joins us for a special interview about what it’s really like to live in a disenfranchised stepchild of a city-state, and what some folks are trying to do about it.  Also plus: Ann’s new 2021 baking project, your near-death experiences (including the dangers of frolicking), and a discount code for a pillow that offers both physical comfort and emotional pain. Shameless Amazon Plugs of the Week30 Second Sand TimerSlugg: A Boy's Life in the Age of Mass Incarceration TSHE Recommends Dick24 Hours: Assault on the CapitolConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

America had a near death experience this week, and your TSHE crew is here to discuss theirs! As opposed to seditious acts, Meredith, Christy, and Hillary are talking about their close, mostly teenaged encounters with the grim reaper.  We made it through though, and hopefully so will the USA!In other, less fatal subjects, we break down the “Bean Dad'' controversy and our own fathers’ responses (our dads are WAY better than John Roderick, obviously), Meredith’s journey to vaccination, Brookie-O disappointment, our audiobook adventures, TSHE listeners’ brand loyalty, Viagra. and, of course, Bridgerton.

It’s a new year, but if you want some tips on resolutions, you’ll need to try another podcast, because we’re too smart to challenge 2021 to be better than 2020.  Instead, Ann, Bobby, Christy, and Hillary are examining why we choose certain products over others and recalling their epic battles for our consumer loyalty. It turns out we’re probably more susceptible to marketing and advertising than we thought, as we chat about everything from fast food to tech companies. Along the way, we take a short detour into talk of “Toobin-esque” marketing and other frivolous 2020 scandals, come perilously close to falling down a rabbit hole of 90s music, throw in a last-minute entry for Money Pit of the Year, and start planning the 2022 TSHE Page-A-Day calendar.

We’re in the final throes of 2020, and what a year it has been. This week, Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Meredith fire up the mics for a little post-holiday chit-chat, figuring no one would mind if this episode was a little short. (Narrator: It wasn’t.)There isn’t any Christmas magic left but we’ve got plenty of leftover turkey, gingerbread architecture, a forgettable frozen pizza and several batches of lackluster popovers, all served up on a platter Ann got for a screaming deal. Just be careful if you come over late—it may not be as scary as Detroit, but it’s definitely ice all the way to Woodbury.Plus: What you *aren’t* doing this holiday season, our final QotW of the year, and one more (scathing) review of A Princess for Christmas.Apologies in advance to wrestling fans: We just don’t understand.

Oh, the games people play. And by “people” we mean us. Ann, Christy and Meredith are pulling out the Monopoly board and arguing over who has to host game night. From computers to tabletops, phones to cards, we’re sharing our favorite time-wasting, stress-relieving, family-bonding fun. Who learned hearts from her brutal grandma? Who shot a lot of bad aliens? And who is a less-than-gracious winner/loser? Plus, the school of salary expectations, worlds without mean older brothers, and Dr Mario will see you now.

Why would you hire a 12-year-old (most likely, girl) to babysit your child (and niece/nephew/neighbor)? We have NO idea, but The Coven (™) will attempt to answer with their varied babies raising babies experiences. From unfair accusations to uncomfortable discussions with drunk dads, we cover our adventures in babysitting (as well as the actual movie, Adventures in Babysitting, which, yikes?).Also, stay tuned for Meredith’s pie pie chart, more pie talk, Mr. Bulky’s, mall working horror stories (more to come on that), holiday movie recaps, and much, much more. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, let your voice be heard, vote (especially if you’re in Georgia), and know that we love you very much!

It’s going to be a small, chill Thanksgiving this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the star of T-Day food. No, not turkey - we’re talking pie! Pie is (almost) universally beloved, but making your own from scratch is daunting to most people who aren’t accomplished home bakers. Thankfully, one of our hosts has some experience in that realm and has decided to pass her knowledge along. Ann (along with color commentator Bobby) is taking Christy, Hillary, and Meredith into the TSHE Kitchens to teach them how to make a delicious pie crust of which nobody need be scared. Will their pie crusts be buttery and flaky, or will they be as dust in the wind? Will the caution tape keep the children at bay? Will a black, furry mischief maker escape from the basement?

Bobby, Ann and Meredith fire up the mics on a Thursday night to talk about life, lies and your Amazon buys. We’ve got awkward bathroom windows, accidental attempted insurance fraud, light at the end of the home-repair tunnel, dreams of repeating kindergarten, and for some reason a surprising number of pompoms.

#57: The Real Answer to These Problems is Very BoringI think we can agree that 2020 has been a rough year, and we’re all looking for something to help us feel better. Unfortunately, not all treatments are created equal -some are straight-up quackery- and that’s why we’ve formulated a clinical-strength episode devoted to the problematic “lifestyle brand” Goop. We discuss the allure of “health and wellness” practitioners-for-profit, how we should react to their dubious claims, and decide at what point fun aspirational dreaming can become dangerous. Also, what should we actually be doing with those jade eggs (NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING)? Plus, early-adopter Hillary shares her post-birthday debrief, while both Meredith and Ann have tales of house trauma to share (any story that involves the phrase “floor muck” or a large tarp is not going to be a positive one!).Here's the Bloomberg article we referencedCheck out Dr. Jen GunterPlease use the NIH National Library of Medicine instead of GoogleTSHE Recommends: PHIL'S BACK!!!Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: AJISAI Women’s Joggers Pants Drawstring Running SweatpantsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Is anybody feeling hungry? If you aren’t now, we guarantee you will be once you’ve listened to this show. Meredith, Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are slicing up some cheese, grabbing a jar of fig jam, and talking about crackers. From the platonic ideal of a Triscuit, to a “meat essence” salt bomb, to staples of our childhood, to what we serve when we’re being fancy, we’ve got thoughts about crackers. There’s a live taste test, disposable mini-plates, the Saltine Cracker Challenge, and some delicious little cannibal bites. Plus, Bobby introduces another new segment, both Meredith and Ann have shocking diet soda-related confessions, and we find out which movie Hillary’s ashamed she hasn’t seen.Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week:SafeWare [2oz-200 set] Disposable Clear Plastic Jello Shot Cups with LidsTSHE Recommends:The World's Most Extraordinary HomesEmily in ParisConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Join the 3/4s Coven as we find ourselves walkin’ in Memphis with Tom Cruise (and his blousy shirts and back flips) and the Man in Black and try to do complex geometry to get John Glenn into space (and cry and marvel at Janelle Monae‘s beauty). That’s right! We’re back on our road trip and traveling through (what we're calling) Appalachia!We also celebrate the most important 10/7/10 birthday (and horrific accident), Hillary’s journey to freedom, and maybe do a tinnnnnnny bit of righteous indignation about the current state of politics.  Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, GET YOUR FLU SHOT, let your voice be heard, vote, and know that we love you very much!

This week TSHE is pondering good vs evil and we’ve decided to make it personal. In that spirit, we’re bringing our various levels of knowledge to the topic of superheroes and supervillains and, more specifically, which ones do we think we are? Do some supervillains have a point? Why do comic characters have such terrible names? When should we “stick to hating Nazis?” In host news, Hillary is faced with a terrifying parental milestone. Meredith did her research in the most millennial way. Christy has puzzle problems. You wouldn’t like Ann when she’s angry. And Bobby debuts his new segment, “Pen 15 (Minutes).” Plus, an Emmys roundup, The American President, “interregnum” and other buzzy words, and dress code pitfalls.

It’s been a long year, and it’s not over yet. But, Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Christy are here to help make it at least a little better with an expanded magazine-style TSHE Recommends Fall Happiness Edition! From food and drink to books, games and TV shows, we are full of advice backed up by widely varying levels of expertise. One thing we know for certain: the country can be healed with pies.This episode also includes: RBG (may her memory be a blessing), an ’80s-style moving-in montage, and the myriad ways our listeners were weird children / are probably still weird adults.Be sure to listen through to the very end if you want to know why this episode was almost titled “the science of dick Scrunchies.”TSHE Recommends Fall Happiness Edition linksPie recipes from Ann:Black Bottom Oatmeal PieApple-Pear Crumble PieStella Parks' Double-Chocolate Cream PieNectarine Raspberry Pie App for finding where to stream things from Christy:JustWatch - The Streaming GuideOffice creature comforts from Bobby:uni-ball Vision Elite BLX Infusion Rollerball PensFoot Rest Stool for Under DeskShadeMAGIC Fluorescent Light CoversLogitech MX Keys Advanced Wireless Illuminated KeyboardSex positions from Hillary:   Bonus TSHE RecommendsPONYBRO Backlit Mini Wireless Keyboard (The one Ann bought to use with her fancy new TV.)Connect with the show! This is your show, too.

Join The Coven (™) as we take a walk down memory lane and remember all the things we thought we knew as children but turned out were mostly wrong (or weird)! What are the customs we thought were normal until we left the house? What odd thing did we grow up believing?  How and why did our parents, families, and friends lead us astray? Why did the Wise family eat cake so strangely??

It’s the official unofficial end of summer, so the TSHE crew is packing up all our white clothes and taking some time to reflect on the summer that wasn’t. From markets to fairs to family to foods, Christy, Meredith, Mike, and Ann sit down to look back on all the things we missed. But it’s not all sadness and regret, as we look forward to the coming fall and detour into discussions about potential YouTube fame, local elections, cheese on fish, superhero promotions, corncob preferences, and easy political activism. We probably shouldn’t have joked about keeping women in Mike’s (nonexistent) basement, but it’s been a dark year, guys.Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: 100 Pack of Blank PostcardsConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

The end of summer typically means one thing in the Stick of Butter Studios: it’s time for the Minnesota State Fair! Unfortunately, the dumpster fire that is 2020 has destroyed everything that is beautiful, so the best we can do is to share what the Fair means to those of us who enthusiastically attend. Ann quickly realized she couldn’t possibly cram all her love for the Great Minnesota Get Together into a few sentences, so she dialed up a couple of special guests to reminisce over Fairs past and help plan next year’s TSHE in-person road trip. Topics of discussion include zipper-loving goats, extreme mobile trampolining tricks, sad cookie corpses, Princess Kay of the Milky Way, weird and/or delicious foods (with or without a stick), and Tales From the Haunted Mansion.  Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

The THSE Summer Cinema Road Trip Spectacular rolls onto the Windy City as Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Mike discuss some beloved (and not-so-loved) Chicago movies. From “toxic jockulinity” and parade float lip-syncing to a one-armed man and Peter Gallagher’s eyebrows, this show is almost as big as Chicago’s shoulders, because that’s apparently a thing they say there.Also featured: Mike’s rebuttal to criticism of his speeding “system,” the humble beginnings of Hillary’s “fanny pack” collection, Ann’s objection to the term “fanny pack,” Bobby’s “Bills” prowess, and a delightfully shameful bevy of listener confessions. Just remember, we are all doing our best. Or at least, adjacent to our best.TSHE recommends:Boulez conducts Stravinsky, a 6CD setConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Listen. We’re not perfect. We’ve done a few things over the years that we’re not proud of, and it’s time for a family meeting to discuss them. The ladies of TSHE have a few confessions to make that include dumb decisions, hidden character flaws, illegal substances, and shocking levels of deception. Hillary had some destructive impulses. Ann is not as generous a person as she wishes. Christy perpetrated Olive Garden fraud. And we’re printing up business cards for Meredith Van Harn, Professional Liar. Plus, famous confessions in history, new fashion frontiers, a doorway to another dimension, a plea for allies, and your pet pics. So many pet pics.

We’re back on the road for another edition of the TSHE Summer Road Trip Spectacular, and we’ve got a new batch of movies through which we’re exploring America from the COVID-free confines of our couches. Meredith, Mike, and Ann have a lot of brake pads to sell, so we’re hopping in our vintage convertible and heading through the – well, let’s just call it the Northern Rust Belt, okay? It’s simpler. There’s a heaping helping of Gen X cynicism, some misty-eyed Fifties idealism, another crop of problematic comedies, and a grouchy weirdo who finds his own version of peace and happiness. Mike shares the story of his stimulus “check” mishap. Ann waxes rhapsodic over DQ cakes. Meredith is a difficult first contact.

We’re about to enter month 6 (!!!!!!!!) of quarantine, so your TSHE hosts decided to do a little check in. How are we feeling about everything? Hint - some are handling it better than others. But in slightly sunnier news, we discuss things that we hope stick around once (if) we return to normal. A silver linings plaguebook (™ Bobby), if you will? Mostly we realize that bras can go to hell!All this plus we highlight and praise (NOT roast) some of your fabulous Amazon purchases, talk about saving Space Camp (let’s do it for Ann, y’all), Meredith’s return to the Money Pit, Hillary’s major beef with PCHH and, obviously, a little tangent into McConaughey Town. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask, let your voice be heard, and know that we love you very much!

Okay TSHE, we've had a problem here...Your TSHE crew is pretty sick of the shenanigans down on earth, so Ann, Hillary, and Jeremy are blasting off and heading to space! To commemorate the 51st anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, we discuss why we love space, the insane scale of space and time, and, of course, some pop culture related to space. Space brings people together! Also, are we all meeting in Texas for the next eclipse?

The fearless TSHE Coven (™) has reconvened, and we’re trading the Sienna in for the American made Pacifica and journeying west to Detroit! Hop in with us on our occasional roadtrip spectacular as we discuss the (sometimes yikes yikes yikes) movies that make us think of Hitsville USA! Of course we also ask several probing questions: Why did white dudes hate disco so much? Why did John Cusack have to barge in on a radio show (and stand out of a girl’s window with a boombox and be such a jerk to women in general)? Why does Kim Basinger have a southern accent? Why is Jennifer Hudson so awesome?

The guys have wandered off on the vast open road, which means that the TSHE Coven is bringing some feminine energy to the show this week. We’ve got a real grab bag of our signature segments, which include the miscarriage of justice on a number of levels, some second-guessing of the American experiment, petty grievances that we just can’t let go, and a title in the Horny Corner that Hillary is almost too embarrassed to say out loud. Also, Hamilton talk (c’mon, you knew that was coming).Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week: Lift Tall Adjustable Height Computer Monitor StandArticles we referenced on forensic science:Accuracy and reliability of forensic latent fingerprint decisionsPseudoscience in the Witness BoxTrial by FireExpert witness goes nuts during questioning for Mississippi death penalty caseBooks for white people to read:So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma OluoHow to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X.

TSHE is taking a pit stop on the occasional road trip series to talk...children’s television (on a Friday night, woo)! We discuss the wide swath of kid’s shows out there - from your educational programs to the television made for children to ask their parents to buy toys. GI Joe, Bill Nye, Peanuts, Muppet Babies, Winnie the Pooh, Yo Gabba Gabba, and much more. And yes, Hillary’s dad did indeed carry her to the couch to watch The Jetsons every morning.

The van rolls on as Bobby, Ann, Hillary and Mike escape New York and explore something apparently called the Northeast Mid Atlantic. First, we take in a day in the life of a couple New Jersey Gen Xers. Then, we eat lightning and crap thunder. After that, we (spoiler alert) see dead people. And finally, we try and try to forget you girl / but it’s just so hard to do / every time you do that thing you do. Plus, Ann digs around in the guts of Wordpress for an overdue Jam Tracker™ update, Hillary is reminded she’s a Quincy (MA) 9.5, Bobby recounts his visit with a phlebotomist, Mike recounts his relationship with a phlebotomist, and you all have a lot of opinions about NYC movies and Muppets. TSHE recommends:A gooseneck iPad mountJohn Dickerson’s new book, The Hardest Job in the WorldThis recent episode of The SporkfulQueer Eye in Philly Connect with the show! This is your show, too.

The TSHE Summer Road Trip Spectacular continues as we leave the sprinter van and head to New York City (as if we’re going to try to park in Manhattan!). First, we flash back to the forties to check out an iconic Carol Burnett performance in a movie that appeals to little girls everywhere. Then, we jump forward to the eighties, where we were “starting to let girls do stuff,” getting jobs in “computers,” finding surprisingly affordable housing, and modeling some truly awful fashion trends. Almost all the men are slime buckets, and housework is best performed mostly au naturel. Meanwhile, Mike is living on the Island of Misguided Hygiene Purchases, Christy tells us what the Resistance looks like in Lynnwood, Meredith’s Money Pit woes take a soggy turn, and Ann (and Kermit) get tired of making all the plans. Plus, our choices for our favorite Muppets lead to some surprising truths.Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week:  Haribo Gummi Candy, Grapefruit, 5-Pound Bag Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

The second time’s the charm as Bobby, Hillary, Mike, and Ann roll into Boston for the next leg of the TSHE Summer Road Trip Spectacular. After some (mercifully brief) mediocre attempts at the famous accent, we get down to business, discussing the crooked cops, cartoon villains, privileged-yet-resentful men, and therapists of varying quality that populate Boston’s movie universe. Along the way, we take a trip down the Ben Affleck Dental Rabbit Hole, wonder where all the women are, confess that we’re afraid when Jeremy Renner shows up, and decide that boys are gross, regardless of their intelligence level. Plus, Mike has a tale of stolen value, Bobby has thoughts on Titanic’s disappointing boobs/no boobs ratio, Hillary makes a contribution to the Summer of Sadness™, and in TSHE Crime Court, Ann is judge, jury and executioner.

This is a heavy one, y’all, but it seemed the right time to talk about 1) the sad, persisting state of our country and 2) some recent sadness in our personal lives.

Bobby, Meredith and Mike break out of isolation (emotionally, at least) and launch a new occasional series: The THSE Summer Cinema Road Trip Spectacular! From time to time in the coming months, we’ll visit regions of the country through the pandemic-friendly confines of our home TVs, iPads, VCRs, streaming services, or however else we watch movies these days. Kicking things off, an adventure through rural New England, a place we love despite shark attacks, crude bioexorcists, and, well, terrible writing. (Thank god for Jessica Biel.)   All that plus Bobby’s new side hustle, Meredith’s awkward work interaction, Mike’s ice vice, the all-new Disney Avengers Infinity Pool ™ , your quarantine olympic events, our inaugural TSHE Does NOT Recommend, and “listener” Michael’s offer to make your die-cast dreams come true.  TSHE does NOT recommend:This shower curtain liner, but you can still use it to click through for other things!

Your veteran moms, Hillary and Christy, are joined by friends of the pod, Phyllis (you might know her?), Colleen, and Missy.

We may be cooped up at home for a while, but we’re not about to let that stop us from celebrating the spectacular pageantry, athletic accomplishment, and overblown nationalism that is the Summer Olympics. Mike, Hillary, and Ann are here to discuss our favorite (and least favorite) “events,” decide which athletes impress us the most, share some of our favorite memories, and celebrate the NBC elf that is Bob Costas. Along the way, we simplify some track and field events, add a few twists to liven up a boring sport, and marvel over the rise and fall of the celebrity decathlete.

No one was home but your door was unlocked, so don’t be alarmed when you find Bobby, Meredith, Christy and Hillary in your bedroom following up on listener “research” stories, sharing coronavirus silver lining alerts, and breaking down lessons we wish we had learned when we were younger.

#29: Escape from LA FitnessWe’re virtually working out with all the Jerrys, Bobby unearths his face and starts a Queen cover band, and Meredith’s (aka Megadith) talking us through the Michigan protests. It must be another episode of This Show Has Everything! We talk regrettable haircuts, listeners never agains (Ouzo, Johnny Depp, Jagermeister, blech, etc.). We also dig deep into our stalking/researching stories and (for Bobby and Hillary) our different tactics for finding out information. We promise we’re not creeps!! The information is out there!

A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world.

#27: Your Lying FaceThese are It’s Fine (™) times and Hillary, Christy, and Bobby are here to shepherd you through them. We weirdly talk about Hitler a fair amount (don’t worry, it’s not what you think).  Hillary finds a secret forest and a new fashion moment. Bobby’s thinking about growing a hair mask. Christy discovers she's a good mom! Hillary has a small Horny Corner which ushers in the TSHE vocabulary word of the week: Zaftig! We then follow up with some fantastic road trip stories from listeners and share some more of our own. Plus, we dig into what we’re watching (or rewatching), listening to, and reading. Oh and Hillary sings like 3+ times.Stay home, wash your hands, we love you and RIP Adam Schlesinger! A selection of TSHE recommends/mentioned:BobbyThe Crown, All In Podcast, Bojack HorsemanHillaryParks and Rec,  Reply All - The Case of the Missing Song, Long Shot, On Repeat PlaylistChristySecret Hitler, Shameless, Ozark, West Wing (Wednesday), Parenthood (Movie)Shameless Amazon Plug of the Week:Delta slow-close toilet seatChasing CassandraConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Join Bobby, Mike and special guest Jeremy for TSHE’s inaugural bro down hoedown, because it’s about time three white guys were given a chance to make a podcast. As Ten Seven Ten’s resident road trip expert, Jeremy—broadcasting from his new Marc Maron-esque garage/den of shame office studios—recounts some of his most epic highway adventures and calendar-based misadventures. We also get an update on Jeremy’s other projects, Bobby’s email inbox, and Mike’s “Operation Johnny Potatoes.” It’s just three men, celebrating each other’s strength. If it gets to be too much, just push us somewhere remote, strip the VINs, and torch it. TSHE recommends:Leopard pants (Hillary)UTZ Cheese Balls (Bobby)Men’s leggings (Jeremy)Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

We talk coping strategies, best/worst in COVID pop culture, and, of course, dishwasher talk! We also cover more strange appliance issues (the reveal is not what you expect), Mike clarifies/clears his throat some more, Zoom hilarity ensues, and we collectively yell at boomers (#notallboomers).

Wherein Bobby, Ann and Mike set out with marching orders to help our non-sport listeners sound a little more like they must be in sport, but never make it past small talk. The bad news is, we failed at our mission. The good news is, this episode is peak TSHE—right down to a never-before gem from Mike, the man of 1,000 stories. We promise (looking at you, Andrea) we’ll come back to faking your way through sport talk soon.

“2020 has been a really weird year so far.” The coronavirus is spreading like wildfire (or is it??), so Meredith, Hillary, Ann, and Christy are calling in from our bunkers to chat about COVID-19 and all the foolishness that’s springing up around it. We’ve got a firsthand report from the US epicenter, some sensible and measured analysis from the lady scientists, our emergency stockpiling decisions, and a truly bonkers theory about who is at risk. Despite the impending collapse of society, this show still has everything, including a hydration PSA, a three-toed man with a purse, Hillary’s excessive social life, feather bowling, some spicy mistakes, magic cheese, and the return of one of Ann’s greatest rant topics.  Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

The shenanigans continue into another episode as Hillary, Mike, Meredith, and Ann are exploring new tangents, devising cockamamie plans, and making one another laugh uncontrollably. This show really does have everything: another installment of The Dishwasher Diaries, a Mike Has Ideas that involves toilet skee ball, a realization about Hot Topics t-shirts, a new sexy segment from Hillary, and actual helpful information from Meredith re: women’s heart attack symptoms. Plus, our least favorite foods, a listener takes Mike to task, ocean detritus, and our series of romance novels for men. Attention Hillary’s Dad: please do not listen from 1:08:30 – 1:23:05.

#21: “Are you gonna wear that?”This week, Mike, Hillary, Ann and Bobby navigate a zigzag of tangents, and crack one another up in the process. From dumpster chic and managing menageries to floppy speed-walkers and Tom Hanks’ EGOT prospects, this show is more of a complete meal than even a big bowl of Urkel-Os.

Hillary, Christy, Meredith, and Bobby are here to do a lotta small talk including: a wrap up of the Oscars (TSHE Livestream was LIT, yay Parasite!, why does Renee have such a strong Texas accent now??, ok, Eminem?). Then we do a little more Hillary-centric small talk - dishwasher wars and an update on her quest to make the school clerk like her (along with a shallow dive into her psyche). Also, we have an important Consumer Affairs Report (™), we discuss some fabulous romance novel titles, and we talk about books we’re currently digging into.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, so Ann, Christy, Meredith, and Mike are honoring romance with asbestos-filled teddy bears, overpriced dinners, low-quality jewelry, and a mylar heart on a stick. We wonder, what’s the point of having a day to affirm and celebrate your relationship if nobody can quite figure out what’s supposed to happen? Mike shares a story from his life where the lesson he learned was “just don’t try.” Then, we try our hands at the self-publishing industry with our pitches for the Great American Romance Novel. From the societal expectations of the Regency, to Puritan danger, to a historical(?) 90’s setting, to a modern, border-straddling “multi-cultural” Canadian affair, to whatever the thing that Mike came up with is, we’re re-defining literature and bringing a tingle to romance lovers everywhere.

Join Bobby, Mike, and Ann as we attempt to become people of substance in this, the third week of TSHE’s Salute to Cinema. We’re talking about the journalism movies, from the silly to the sublime, that have left us thinking about tough social issues, coming-of-age tales, and the dedicated people who dig tirelessly for the truth. Plus, Mike made a colossal mistake while traveling, Bobby shares another story of when he was a teenage playa, and Ann is feeling somewhat better about the political scandal of our generation.

It’s the second week of TSHE’s Salute to Cinema month, so get ready to dance like nobody’s watching as the ladies of TSHE dig into the details of our favorite dance movies. On “tap” (haha) for discussion: the perils of casting dancers instead of actors, why Australia is a weird place, and the genius of Leonard Bernstein. Along the way, we detour into Hillary’s Golden Globes roundup, liking what you like without judgment, the downside to being incredibly beautiful, why we’re scared of Eighties punk rockers, and the turd in the tasty stew of Schitt’s Creek. Connect with the show!This is your show, too.

In honor of award season starting and the rest of the world burning, This Show Has Everything presents our January Salute to Cinema! All month, our medium talk will be dedicated to various genre of film. This week, Mike, Hillary, Ann and Bobby cover sport and the movies of sport with our personal favorites and, in one case, a definite least-favorite.Even if you (think) you don’t like sports movies, this episode has something for you. And weeks ahead may include period pieces, dance films, mustachioed masters (a la Skerritt), handsome men we forgive because they are also funny (a la Swayze) and more. (The list extremely subject to change.)Oh, make sure to keep Monday at 9:30 or so free—and find a reason to get to the fourth floor before everyone else does. TSHE recommends:McFarland USALittle WomenConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Christmas has come and gone, and Ann, Christy, and Hillary are here to recap all of their holiday adventures, which includes a drunken The Night Before Christmas reading, super fun rides down the stairs, and a 3 hour mimosa induced nap. Also, Hillary desperately tries to be the cool aunt to the teens, Ann actually is a cool aunt to the toddler, and Christy is slowly turning into a Baby Boomer.In the Question of the Week, we take down the patriarchy with our pop culture hatred (with major love for Jim Dale).

This week’s show has everything: Hillary’s son’s new (mildly frightening) obsession, Ann’s large household expense (which might eventually lead the TSHE team to some “fried abominations”), our amazing listeners’ Razzle Dazzles (y’all are truly talented), movies that haunted/traumatized us as children, and, conversely, movies that captured our imaginations. Also, we are obviously still talking about cheese! We ponder a fake cheese taste test. And would a cheese wedding cake be disappointing to the guests?

The results are in for our Cheese Challenge and boy, do you guys like cheese. We’re off to Zingerman’s University to answer some age-old questions: what’s the point without feta? Is cheddar the Pizza Hut of cheese? How good can it be, if it comes in a can? What are Kraft American Singles really made of? Plus, globe-trotting braggers, a ranch/blue cheese controversy, cheese gushers, way too many references to armpits, on-air cheese theft, a pasta detour, and Mike tries repeatedly to burn Bobby’s deep cover aliases.This show should have been brought to you by the fine makers of Triscuits.

We also lay out each of our personal “razzle dazzles” (you have to listen to understand). Finally, the lady scientists give us Just the Facts(™) on cleanses.

Mike, Christy, Bobby, Meredith, Ann and Hillary have their right arms over the passenger seat of the Little Red Bandwagon, and are ready to back it into your feed* one last time. Join us for a heartfelt look at TBTL, the show and community that brought us together as podcasters and friends, and at this naturally curious turning point in our own show, including a mailbag overflowing with much-appreciated support for our plan.  Plus, it wouldn’t be us without some personal medium talk, including Meredith’s update on Link’s bladder, Mike’s shower ottoman, Christy’s bus seat, Ann’s coke machine tears, Bobby’s coke museum tears, and a young Hillary channeling Keshia Pulliam. Our appreciation for Sean, Andrew, Jen and Luke is overwhelming both emotionally and conversationally, so apologies in advance for the time and tissues probably required for this one, but we promise it’s worth it. 

It’s October, so naturally we’re giving you a Coven (™) episode! The ladies of LRB are going through some stuff, though - Ann has major Diet Coke anxiety, Meredith might need to stop going on vacation (at least in Ohio), and Hillary is (of course) grappling with her age.  In TBTL land, this week is our last full recap. And The Coven (™) actually enjoyed a lot of it! The live shows were a great time and showed off Luke and Andrew’s fun/funny personalities (with a fantastic Nick and Hodgman appearance). The other episodes, filled with tons of Skyjinks Woo (aka man-babies whining about mild discomfort), had us pretty enraged. Ahh the yin and yang of TBTL! Regardless, we are all very excited about what we have brewing for our next iteration. Thank you for the sweet notes, voice memos, and faxes. We love you all!

It’s getting chilly as we move into fall (unless you live in Texas, I guess), so we’ve built a cotton candy bonfire to warm our hands and hearts while we continue our last few weeks of focusing on TBTL. Your LRB hosts, however, are more interested in dog plans, 20-year-old memories, and the disappointment of Coyote Ugly, among other things. There’s more football talk than usual, given that two of our hosts’ teams are pitted (totally pitted) against one another, and Pinto Ron/Kenny is wasting good condiments left and right. Ann experienced a bizarre non-adventure. Bobby has a problem with certain businessez. Mike is suffering from senioritis. Hillary makes a promise she can’t keep. Plus, the Qatar of celebrities, a level-10 dad joke, never disrespect a book, and the difference between trash talk and trash talk.

Welcome to the final “Final Friday” edition of LRB! Bobby is unapologetically Simpsons-splainin’, Mike is celebrating Ravelry Week, Ann is  letting her inner bitch become her outer bitch, Christy is riding a rolley coaster of office dog emotion, and Hillary is making a compelling case for why everyone (or at least her neighbors) should have one of those Ring doorbells. Also, more listener love about the upcoming show transition, why no one loves bedtime, and there’s  no love lost for Jeff Bezos and his “terms of service” that we maybe (probably) “violated.” Expect a strongly worded email from [email protected] any day now, Jeff. In the words of our forefathers, “Here’s a flashlight, a racing form and a Penthouse Forum. Come back when the street lights are on.”

In the waning days of LRB, Hillary, Ann, Bobby, and Mike are here to discuss all of the past week’s events in the LRB and TBTL worlds. Firstly, the Wagoneers have given us some LOVELY feedback on our transition to a non-TBTL podcast. Thank you so much for the support! We’re extremely excited to bring you something new! But also, please give us some name suggestions (preferably with an affordable URL).  In the business, Hillary reviews a book and movie, Ann and Hillary are both jerks (that’s a family-friendly word for it), Mike made it through his Emily-less time relatively unscathed, and we got some voice memos!!! Thrilling and keep them coming! We did eventually dive into some TBTL topics, including The Far Side (will it still be funny?), phone calls (they’re scary!), James Cameron/Avatar (who wants it?), Aaron Sorkin (good/complicated writer!), and oral health (please floss!).  Finally, here are a few of the MANY unused show titles to pique your interest: “Guess What’s Swollen at Mike’s House” “Who’s the Dude and Who’s the Doofus?” “Where in the World is...Mike Frizzell..On the Run!” “Departed 2” “Good Will Hunting 3D!" “It’s Staffed by Ghouls” “Don’t Touch Me in the Randall’s” “A Poor Carpenter Blames his Spreadsheet” “A Double Team of Odor” “Nailedish!”

Ann and Christy are laughing their way through this final LRB clip show by looking back at some times that people other than us offered up critical feedback for TBTL. But first, we acknowledge that our own responses to judgement from others aren’t always a model of emotional health. We protest the injustice of getting slapped for not following rules we didn’t know existed, or criticized for things we can’t control. We discuss a couple of cases in point, including how Christy’s co-worker accidentally fed her case of impostor syndrome, while Ann once almost had the K-9 unit set on her. Then we dive into clips containing letter-writing grandmas, comparisons of TBTL to athlete’s foot, the creation of a couple of longtime show catchphrases, and a promise from Luke that he will never again make a factual error on the show (hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha). Plus, a Wingdings conspiracy, which cursive capital letters are bs, and the beauty of math. No reply necessary.

Welcome to your slightly hungover, somewhat lonely, and extremely pet-centric episode of LRB! Ann, Hillary, Meredith, and Mike are here to talk you through all of that business/nonsense. We finally get around to recapping a bit of TBTL, including the prevalence of exceedingly specific t-shirts that we all still find hilarious all these years later. We also refuse to quit naming nuts and vow to never ever talk over Marvin Gaye singing!! Most importantly (and sorry to bury the lede), there is some VERY SIGNIFICANT LRB NEWS in the business. Listen and let us know what you think!

It’s LRB’s official Hampton Inn Lobby Rotary Pre-Funk, complete with DIY waffles and soggy ottomans. Bobby shares pictures of hotel elevators, Mike Has Ideas to accommodate traveling snackers, Ann recalls the time she went Hollywood, and Meredith answers the age-old question, “why the face?” We also discuss TBTL.

We’re pretty sure we won’t get memberships in Illusionists Local 4309 after this show, but it’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make. Christy, Mike, and Ann take the opportunity provided by a content-lite week of TBTL to go heavy on our own stories. We’ve got a Boogie Nights anecdote, some medical mishaps (both past and present), and the worst hold music experience ever. TBTL-related topics include but aren’t limited to: what makes the best kindling for a prison riot, Prince’s potential home court advantage, the skin-crawling awfulness of live Q&As, and we seem to keep circling back to breakfast carbs. Plus, a long, detailed conversation regarding the many attractions at the MN State Fair. Sorry, but it had to be done.

Two shows in one! Sort of. First, Bobby, Christy, Ann and Mike are nearly derailed from any substantial talk of TBTL by a corn fest, a pile of dirt, and a familial connection to a(n) (in)famous (minor) celebrity bowler. Thankfully, the LRB Mailbag gets us back on track, and even inspires some spirited (albeit brief) roleplaying. After the music, stay tuned for special bonus content: Audio from the LRB picnic! What this tape lacks in stable audio levels or group sobriety it more than makes up for in Oreos, Blake Lively and group quiz fun. Enjoy!

A full Coven (plus) has convened for this LRB episode! Hillary and Christy reveal that they are teens at heart. Ann reveals that she is a MN State Fair expert (LRB event next year?), and Meredith reveals she used to have a pet snake! Other topics discussed include but surely are not limited to, emojis, Train Lyrics, Hamilton (of course), spiders in your wall, 90210, Ann as a drug mule, and much, much, much more On the TBTL front, we’re concerned about the guys’ choice of live show venues. How many people fit in a Waffle House?? Is Andrew’s trash going to be out of control while he’s out of town? Are the guys trying to be sooooo random? Speaking of teens, we think Luke should put down the phone and try to catch the snake. The real world is in 3D after all!  Bottom line for this week - for the love of God, Luke needs to STOP using the term “raw dog.” Ew. 

It’s been a busy weekend indeed at LRB. Bobby hosted a party (and met listener Bet!) despite battling a chest cold. Hillary prepared (mentally) for back-to-school time despite it only being August. Meredith made new friends despite being at the High Times Festival. And Mike used the movie Reality Bites to make a serious point about an often-overlooked TV and film heft continuity issue despite the acting of Winona Ryder. We also talk about last week’s TBTLs. Keep Bellingham Subdued™

There comes a time in a young man’s life when he feels that the entire world is persecuting him. And sometimes that’s accurate, especially when you’re talking about Andrew Walsh and the phenomenon of the cat-roll. From his (supposed) pal Luke, to a dedicated consort of Tens, to legitimate media stars, it seemed for a while that everyone was pranking ol’ Andy with a simple snippet of audio. AND WE LOVED IT. And so, for your listening pleasure, here is the complete aural history of The Cat-rolling of Andrew Walsh.

It’s another week here at collective LRB studios, and Hillary, Ann, Bobby, and Mike are running down the latest navel-gazing adventures of TBTL. Lots of questions were asked this week. Is Trump going to win in 2020 (don’t jinx it, Luke!)? Is Luke a hypocrite about his vegetarianism (probably, yes)? Is Andrew wasting his summer (who knows)? Was the octopus lady an irredeemable dummy (according to Mike and the guys, absolutely yes)? As for your lovely hosts, we have a few questions as well. Is Hillary more of a Betty or a Joan (Joan for sure)? Is Adventure Bay the worst run town in all of Canada (uh, yeah)? Should Bobby and Ann go to the Minnesota State Fair together and report back (HELL YES)? Did we go off the rails at the end (maybe!)? Also forward promo for an upcoming show - Mike will tell his hold music-induced panic attack. Stay tuned!

What a fun time we had in Seattle! Your LRB hosts are (mostly) back home and ready for a post-picnic weekend debrief. We have lots to discuss, including how Hillary is sober on the show for the first time in … a while, what caused Meredith to discover her mom voice, how Ann saved all of LRB from food poisoning, and what we thought of the tricks Mike showed us with a washcloth/towel and a sample size container of L’Occitane lotion. It was less weird than it sounds, honestly. During the TBTL portion of the show, we can’t believe we’re STILL talking about video interpolation, wonder why it matters whose party it is, dubiously discuss the attractiveness of politicians, and sing the praises of Lauren Ober’s appearance on the show. We agree that if you want to be a vegetarian It’s Fine (TM), while disagreeing about a certain Christian worship song. I mean, WE GET IT ALREADY.

The picnic is over and the votes are in! Ann, Bobby, Christy, Hillary, Meredith and special guest Gus reveal the winners from the Oreo Challenge at the 2019 LRB Picnic while discussing the merits of the unholy suicide/graveyard bowl of cookie leftovers fueling our lakeside afterparty. In the TBTL Week in Review, Luke once again confesses to being a wasteful wiper, and a bicyclist causes Andrew to lose his s***. As Colonel Whatever says, “It’s a trap!” Plus, who are each of your favorite LRB hosts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Stay tuned to future episodes to find out, because we were far too distracted to figure it out this weekend.

Join The Coven™ and Bobby for a quick Final Friday roundup featuring peak podcasting, Reality TV hypocrisy, decoy ducks, more butt faxes, and more. Plus, airport wheelchair groupies, backwoods hotel wifi, puppies as presidents, microwave chicken with  PEEPS® (a game, not a recipe*), a live review of Surly Brewing Co.’s Dots and Loops, and of course, a young future star Hilliary doing her best Madonna/Roger Rabbit despite a complete lack of voguing support from her cousins. Reminder: It’s LRB Picnic Day! See you in Shoreline; and see our Facebook page for details!     *yet

This week, Hillary is back from Europe, Bobby is back from Missouri, Mike is back from cursing Ann, and Ann is back on the Conan Train. For the stick, we recap the latest week of TBTL. And for the marrot, we learn about Ann and Mike’s meat bridge, Bobby’s chilling midwest encounter, and Hillary’s even colder bathroom studio. We dare you to send her a bill, Hillary’s parents. COME TO THE PICNIC! Friday, July 26, 5pm, Shoreline WA. Don’t miss it!

It’s the end of the TBTL 2019 Summer Games, and your LRB recappers have laced up our Air Jordan McNasty 25s for the final match. We reflect on the second week of (improved) quizzes, the problems with ska, why you really should consider those tattoos in advance, and why Andrew shouldn’t be embarrassed about that feature piece he did for Tamara Keith. Mike is stocking up on anvils and TNT. Meredith reviews Stranger Things Season 3. Ann reminisces fondly about the OK Soda hotline (1-800-I-FEEL-OK). And in pet news, the cats of LRB are preparing for Thunderdome. Come to our picnic and watch us make your children cry.

In our media-obsessed culture, the emphasis on having a trim figure is constant and overwhelming. Almost all of us have been frustrated, at some point, by not being able to achieve the perfect (or, let’s face it, just slightly improved) body, but nobody remains more stubbornly committed to winnowing away those extra pounds than Luke “LB” Burbank. Christy and Ann are ready to do a run-down of many (but certainly not all!) of the fad diets, kooky nutrition ideas, and far-out strategies he’s employed over the years in an effort to build his beef castle. From extreme calorie restriction, to cheeseburgers and booze-ahol, to part-time veganism, he’s willing to try just about anything, although his enthusiasm usually outpaces his preparation. Along the way, we remind ourselves that it’s a “cheat meal,” not a “cheat day,” get annoyed by Bridget Jones’s Diary, and wonder exactly what Luke was doing with those pickles. If you’re interested in reading about the truth of dieting, why it doesn’t actually work, and what you can realistically do to be happy with your body, here’s the book Ann mentioned: Secrets from the Eating Lab, by Traci Mann, PH.D.

TBTL may have half-assed Summer Games Week (as well as the pronunciation of chorizo and allium), but Ann, Mike and Bobby are most definitely full-assing this week’s LRB. Bobby just got back from Blue Jays Loonie Dog Night in Toronto, and the Great White North isn’t looking so great these days. Ann is standing ready to rescue her dearest Justin, though he now has competition for her affection from a handsome young new Scottish fellow. And Mike is suffering from a bout of sociopolitical indigestion after the President’s “perp rally,” though a gelatin-suspended seafood sample didn’t help. Plus, a blissfully short breakdown of TBTL’s quizzes, an apropos reminder that  the worst wounds are the emotional ones (with examples!), and an audio postcard from middle-aged transcontinental mom-iish type Hillary, recorded after a harrowing Hungarian pedicab ride. Remember: Come to our picnic on July 26th! Bring anything you like as long as it isn’t aspic. And, go listen to Spectacular Failures, edited by our own P-Fletch!

It’s time for another TBTL recap or, as we’re calling it, an hour and a half of enjoyable nonsense. The Bonsai Team of Hillary, Mike and Ann has gathered to recap topics that include whether we could handle being trapped on an airplane, age-related bird fascination, Ashton Kutcher’s speech choices, and the existential crisis that is our collective financial future. Hillary made an embarrassing choice in library books. Mike confesses to a TBTL-listening transgression. Ann takes issue with the idea that she might do anything half-assed. Hey, if you want to get in on Hillary’s forthcoming Book Club of Questionable Choices, consider using our Amazon link to purchase After by Anna Todd.

t’s the end of the month, and Bobby, Ann, Hillary, Mike and Christy have a lot of ground to cover before the Jamaican-Norwegian housekeeper comes knocking. Inspired by recent conversations on TBTL, we share some of our worst job interviews, as well as voicemails from two of our favorite listeners, and learn that the best thing to do it to lie, especially if we were recently at a Snoop Dogg concert. And, we discuss albums we love (or that we hate that we love), including some from a nearby dumpster. Plus, Christy regales us with the second-hand epic that was Jeremy’s freewheeling adventure through middle America in a hot-wired old Honda Accord. As far as feral humans go, he’s really doing quite alright. Plus, Christy tells of her time as Joey Fatone’s #1 (of 1) fan, Mike laments his long-lost sizzle zoetrope, Hillary regrets not stashing her backseat boombox, Ann prefers her in-Transit entertainment unaccompanied, and Bobby wants us to livestream Jeremy watching 8 Mile. Detroit strong! p.s. COME TO OUR PICNIC: https://www.facebook.com/events/415597032371377/

In the wise words of Stefon, this LRB has everything: alcoholic Oreos, garlic tips, crappy cars that blow only heat, Stephen Tobolowsky, ironic cybersecurity training, Mary McDonnell, and, of course, Deeznutz. Join the Coven (™) for all that and much more, including Ann’s potential move to Pasadena, Hillary’s fear of seeing Toy Story 4 (spoiler alert - she cried), and the President basically ruining Meredith’s grandfather’s funeral (as usual). Finally, Beverly Hills is the worst and Sneakers is the best. Also, as mentioned, here is a fun article on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of Sneakers! https://slate.com/culture/2012/09/sneakers-20th-anniversary-how-the-robert-redford-caper-inspired-a-generation-of-fervent-fans.html

Holy frijoles! Bobby, Mike, Hillary and Christy are on the line to recap the latest week that was, and sweating out of every orifice. (Sorry, just trying to live up to the title.) Join us for talk about Christy’s fake sleeping bus face, Hillary’s *terrible* joke, Mike’s war on centipedes, and Bobby’s creeping on a nearby listener. Oh, and some stuff from last week’s TBTL. After the show, stay tuned for a special audio postcard from Jeremy recorded in a newly acquired 1991 Honda Accord with no license plates in a Walmart parking lot in the middle of nowhere. This episode is brought to you by Crown Books Syndicate. You like books? We’ve got books. We can get you the books. And by Xtreme Discount Mattress, where we skip the shirt, and pass the savings on to you.

We’ve all been there – feeling nervous and slightly sweaty as we attempt to impress a stranger so they will eventually pay us money. JOB INTERVIEWS. I’m talking about job interviews, you pervs! The TBTL fellas have a rich history of awkward or embarrassing experiences trying to (or trying not to) get a gig, and have no problems recounting the particulars. Christy and Ann are ready to dig into the details of Luke’s commercial auditions, which provide a motherlode of material, and puzzle over the shady business practices that forced Andrew to tank an interview in beautiful Boise. We also take the opportunity to share some of our own awkward interview experiences, including the time Christy was forced to take a photographic pop culture quiz, and how Ann’s accidental networking triumph spanned three decades, two countries, and two sets of gossipy parents. Feel free to call or text the LRB voicemail at (802) 432-TBTL to share your own interview nightmares (we don’t want to lose the number!).

The TBTL-a-thon wrapped up in Australia (OR DID IT???) and your LRB hosts are making a quick getaway in our car (Foley included) so that we can use our outdoor voices without embarrassment. On deck for today’s discussion: television show longevity, driving in NYC, the popularity of Tim Allen, and our extraordinary contrariness. Hillary remembers the Alamo. Mike Has an Idea that might just work. Meredith is a victim of Oreo marketing. And Ann learned that triple scoops are for winners. Plus, science facts about ear-cleaning, the merits of meeting kangaroos in the wild, and we wonder how much you should tip your housekeeper in space. Here’s the GoFundMe for Sherri's Walk of Hope - Alice Springs to Darwin. Thanks again to Ross for passing it along.

Good Day, Mates! Your LRB hosts have also traveled to Australia for this week’s TBTLathon. However, instead of the fly-infested lands of the Outback, Hillary, Ann, Meredith, and Mike have landed on the scenic, populated, and desirable towns of Melbourne, New Brighton (New South Wales), Wagga Wagga, and of course, Pirates Bay, respectively. What a strange coincidence! Though we are on the other side of the world, your hosts are still talking about some business back in the States including our recently established LRB core values (LEAD), Mike’s new pet, Theresa, and the grand opening of SH45SW. As with all things TBTL though, everything inevitably comes back to food and poop. Shrug. We’re all currently heading back to our normal studios, but bottom line for this week in Australia - LRB is firmly Team Robbie.

It’s the end of the month, and Bobby, Mike, Meredith, Christy and Ann (along with our Google Drive spirit animals) are here to catch up on an array of LRB topics including a two-month backlog in the mailbag, an unexpectedly laissez-faire approach to the LRB picnic potluck, and a new AMA question that opens an old wound for a couple of our co-hosts. (Don’t worry, that’s not blood—it’s just marinara. Though that doesn’t make it OK.) Plus, Bobby has a dream mascot battle (on ice!), Meredith has allergy-induced shiners, Christy’s got sneaky meat, Mike has a cold take on popsicles, and Ann has a hot beef with Mike.   This whole Australia thing and the general state of the world today have made us a little sad this week. Good thing listener Ann reminded us that Ludacris freestyling Llama Llama Red Pajama is a thing that exists, and that we should watch it. And now, so should you.

It’s a vest-heavy week for the “conventionally attractive” tech-bros at LRB HQ, but between business calls the gang is squeezing in a recap of the final week of TBTL (before Luke and Andrew inevitably bite the big one in Australia). Topics discussed include: the problem with shopping for t-shirts at the Roo-A-Rama, why The Rock is the Cookie Monster of opioids, field mice as python food, and whether it’s the vest or the man wearing it (Idris Elba, anyone?). Mike attended the Austin social event of the year, but he’s subsequently in hot water because Bobby inadvertently “activated a Kramer.” Meredith’s breakfast choice leads to a discussion of ‘morning cheese’. Ann shares why she can never get upset when tv programming is pre-empted for news. Plus, the exchange rate on jams Down Under, upcoming kitten parties, and we desperately try to make Mike stop talking about his lucid dreams.

Mike, Bobby, Hillary and Ann recapped the latest week of TBTL complete with fiery hot takes, snappy one-liners, and a terrible idea for a restaurant. But, the Gods of Xcel Energy decided it was too beautiful to live. So instead, enjoy this lightning recap redux with Ann and Bobby, followed by a special listen back to the LRB recap from one year ago this week (ep 324) featuring a younger, prettier, probably-salad-eating Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Hillary. Take this as a reminder that, as always, if we don’t remember our TBTL/LRB history, we are doomed to repeat it.

The Coven® has reconvened for this week’s recap and we’re covering all of the TBTL “news.”  But first, it’s our 400th episode! Can you believe? Also, Hillary is beginning her favorite day of the year (no, it’s not her birthday), Meredith is, once again, dealing with illogical Money Pit problems (and also making tasty bread), and Ann has a student-led BO problem. Blessedly, there was limited garbage talk, but the guys did tackle some well-worn subjects such as dog/leash issues/karma, inexplicable cheese eating, odd Australian animals, and Andrew’s walk on the wild side (Tony is a bad influence!). Join us as we dive into those topics plus, and we’re warning you, LOTS of Hamilton. How lucky we are to be alive right now!

A TBTL international road trip is on the horizon, and when you leave the country there are a few things you should be sure to have -- your travel treadmill, your laser baldness helmet, and oh, I don’t know, maybe your passport? While I think we can agree that all of these things are equally important, our pal Luke has had some trouble keeping track of one of them, so Ann and Christy thought the time was right to revisit some of the times his carelessness got him into travel trouble. From sweet-talking the passport office lady on his wedding day -- dressed in his tuxedo! -- to melting down at the rental car counter in front of national hero Yvonne, Luke’s had his share of self-induced passport emergencies. Plus, Jen’s always prepared to flee at a moment’s notice, and Andrew’s the friend you want when the chips are down (and they won’t let you on the cruise).

Pull up a cushion and feel the rhythm, because Meredith, Ann and Bobby are here to party, and there’s room for one more in this sunken living room of the mind. In addition to a recap of the high notes (and low notes) of last week’s episodes of TBTL, Bobby gives an awkward HR update, Ann gets a cookware anti-intervention, and Meredith shares what it’s like banging with strangers seemingly forever. And speaking of things that take seemingly forever: Instead of breaking down TBTL Garbage Time, we suggest you check out the new podcast Minor Adventures with Topher Grace, or even just these Rhode Island recycling videos. Or, just close your eyes, and imagine a certain jogger being chased by some serious off-leash irony. If that doesn’t make your week, you can always try a $65 bottle of Eau de Westin.

It’s time for another meeting of the LRB coven as Hillary, Meredith, and Ann gather ‘round the cauldron to work our witchy magic. We dial up the feminism this week with discussions about equality in armed service requirements, the problem with the concept of body positivity, and how a touch of toxic masculinity can invade even the most enlightened guys. Additionally, we’ll dig into how urban wild turkeys are no joke, how Luke’s late-night tipping decision was disappointing, and why Terry Gross isn’t the boss of us. In host news, Hillary is kitten-curious, Meredith might be on a Japanese public television show, and Ann is workshopping new LRB taglines. Plus, grumpy-yet-kindhearted Mr. Walsh, our ideas to improve the sport of bowling, and why “the best minds in comedy writing are not working in local news” may be the truest words ever spoken on a podcast.

Phyllis “Situational Them” Fletcher is legally allowed to be on LRB again, and Bobby, Mike, Meredith and Ann take full advantage by hosting a Fletch-themed AMA instead of producing any original content. Shame on all of you who didn’t submit questions, and less shame on those of you who did. Phyllis is a tidal wave of sound advice. Bobby’s cup runneth over with job opportunities. Mike is up against a deluge of spelling errors. Meredith is baking Victoria sponges in her money puddle. And Ann is walkin’ on sunshine despite the fact that—thanks to a troublesome toilet—her money puddle is a literal puddle. Be sure to submit more AMA questions here for Phyllis or any of the LRB crew.  We’ll answer them if we feel like it, or if it’s easier than generating new show ideas. At least it beats talking about TBTL.

Hey gang, we’re ten minutes late for a hike, but Mike, Ann, and Hillary have managed to squeeze in a TBTL recap while simultaneously charging our phones and looking at the map. Mike’s perfecting his new Cardio Rage™ workout. Hillary’s upset that the Easter Bunny is getting unearned credit. Ann’s family cabin is the setting of the CW’s hottest new teen show. Plus, turtle fights, how to get the most out of the Game of Thrones dragons, the strange hunkiness of Tom Hanks, and the etiquette of nut-punching. Please enjoy the calls of the wild canterkoopies and kooperberrys that we’ve piped into the broadcast. Sorry about all the dong talk.

Bobby, Meredith and Mike are running ragged, but rally to recap the (few) highlights from the latest week of TBTL. On the upside, Meredith’s money pit seems to finally be full (or at least dry),  Mike has an idea for a version of karaoke that plays to his strengths, and Bobby’s big season finale at work was almost as rousing as the church service happening next to his office during the recording. We probably should have talked more about Luke and Andrew, but we were too busy daydreaming about a pickle sandwich, and breaking down neck-knife statistics. Feel free to send us emails telling us why we’re right or wrong, and we’ll be sure to cherry-pick a few to share that make us feel good about ourselves. Nebula of the Day submissions are also welcome. Hillary, unfortunately, couldn’t get her setup working for today’s show. But based on what we did manage to hear, she should be receiving a new birthday laptop anytime now.

We were going to do a new show this week, but the 6 inches of April snow pretty much sent Ann over the edge. Instead, we’re pretending it’s a normal spring, where we don’t have to shovel out the stadium before the game. This episode originally aired on July 16th, 2016. Here’s the original write-up: Ah, summer. The kids are out of school, the pool is ready to go, and hot, hazy days are followed by warm, breezy evenings.  What could be better than a beer, a brat and a ballgame? Mike and Ann are ready to roll back the roof at Safeco Field and talk a little baseball. TBTL baseball, that is. We’ve compiled a collection of clips that involve going to the game, getting on the field, hanging out with Ten friends, and one unfortunate story that probably still has Andrew waking up in a cold sweat.  We promise you don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy this one.

Hey nerds, geeks, dorks, and dweebs! Join Ann, Hillary, and Mike as we recap this week’s TBTL. We discuss the reveal of the 10th(?) TBTL-a-Thon (aka the worst kept secret), a trip to Oz! Will Luke and Andrew survive a journey through the outback? TBD! Also, your hosts air some personal grievances, including Hillary’s new work nemesis and Ann’s choir enemy. Additionally, Mike schools us on prison electronic usage, Hillary reveals a story about rollerblades that is both embarrassing and completely on brand, and Ann mourns the demise of a potential wedding venue. Take a listen and we promise not to do any April Fools’ Day quizzes, all right? Cool beans!!

Climb aboard your rental Penny-farthing and get ready to see the sites because Bobby, Ann and Mike are somehow back together again unsupervised, and this tour isn’t stopping until we find an Arby’s, an L’RB’s, or a Terence Trent D'Arby. We’ll be making stops to hear about Mike’s pro-cheese politics, what has Ann fired up (note: not fire’d up) about Blaze Pizza, and why Bobby is allowed to say whatever he wants about cultural appropriation. Also, non-expert bong talk, suit-and-shoe etiquette, “Adonis” Morissette, the fine line between feeding and “foie gras-ing,” and some talk of last week’s TBTL. Please don’t DM us on Twitter to be on your podcast.*   (*We’re really more active on Facebook, just message us there.)

On this Final Friday show the gang has gathered around the ol’ microphone to hang out, talk turkey, and debate the correct amount of melatonin to give your kids (and mothers-in-law?) before bed. Up first, we peruse the contents of the mailbag, which spark discussions regarding the appeal of the Real Housewives franchises, airport crimes against humanity, the pitfalls of getting a variety pack of Seagrams, and the time Hillary got kicked out of a sorority formal. Then we revisit an old concept: #trypod. We’re in agreement that our podcatchers are significantly more crowded than we’d like, but, like all good addicts, we’re always ready for a hit of something new. We’ve chosen shows that inspire us, make us smarter, dial us into pop culture, and transport us to another world (not literally, because that would be terrifying). Here are the podcasts we showcase: Christy: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and Imagined Life Meredith: Lexicon Valley (When Ain't Was All Right) Bobby: Hit Parade (The Give Me a Sign Edition) Mike: The Rewatchables (Forrest Gump) Hillary: Who? Weekly (Who's There: Suge J. Knight & Andy King?) Ann: Wolf 359 (Episode 2: Little Revolución)

It was a busy week on TBTL, with Luke jetting around the country to interact with celebrities, fret about his appearance, and inexplicably remain in a hotel room that fails to meet any reasonable standard for habitability. The LRBWitches are gathered to talk about all of this, as well as the challenges of life in New York City, the potential atrophy of our driving skills, and the sad reality of terrible ID photos. Meredith’s taken a giant step towards full cat lady status. Hillary’s stalking teenagers on Instagram (as you do). Ann investigates The Mystery of the Wrinkled Shirt. Here's the show we did with the wonderful Felicia Powell. Give your loved ones a hug, guys.

Bobby, Mike, Ann and Hillary are recording on St. Patrick’s Day morning, and for some reason, Hillary has already set up shop in a bathroom. (Don’t worry, it apparently has room service.) And as if that wasn’t enough radio gold, her recent sexual harassment training has inspired a show-stopping new romance novel. Plus, we cover Mike’s (aka DJ Postmaster General’s) plan to save the United States Postal Service, Bobby’s Dallas Salad and throwin’ bologna, and progress in our ongoing efforts to corrupt Ann. Oh, and we talk about TBTL. Even the serious bits.  

“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” We should all take a little more time to appreciate the wonder that is the United States Postal Service, so Ann and Christy are using this month’s clip show to examine the special place the Post Office occupies in the history of TBTL. Jen teaches us about the subtle language of stamps. Luke complains about the long lines, but doesn’t know how to work the system. Andrew has a weird mail-related fear. Multiple plans to turn the fortunes of the USPS around are proposed. Plus, the secondary stamp market, the wonders of General Delivery, our confusion re: current stamp prices, and why don’t you just send Grandma a note once in a while, for God’s sake!

This week, Luke went to the pizza convention, Andrew went all around Seattle, and Phyllis Fletcher made a triumphant return to TBTL. After hearing about naked hot tubs, the last Busterblocker, and how Luke “had” to eat meat, we hash through the interesting topics and ask some questions. Is Mt. Constitution really much of a mountain? Why do we assume that body-confident naked guys must be old? Which one of us is willing to sacrifice their body to test driverless cars? As far as our own business goes, we’re working through some exciting new concepts for podcasts that we plan to offer to Jewel Case Media as soon as we’ve gotten caught up on our Nineties movie franchises. Mike shares tells some stories about the soap opera that is prison sports. Meredith once got into trouble for NOT taking her clothes off in public. Ann identifies a surprising parallel between TBTL and Jeopardy. Plus, movie rentals for cults, life goals for fish, and the moral objection to cheese.

As our national sage, Kylie Jenner, once said, “I feel like this year is really about, like, the year of just realizing stuff."  And thus begins a new era of Luke, and possibly LRB? We’re switching up our format a bit, and Luke is realizing that maybe, sometimes? he can be kind-of a jerk. Join the ladies of LRB as they also realize that 1) we can’t go out as late as we once did, 2) houses cost a lot all of the time, 3) celebrities are no better than us, and 4) sometimes we have to bump it up to 2x. We hope you enjoyed the LRB change-up. Let us know what you think!  We promise we will NOT police your tone. #foreplay #politecar

Buckle up, friends - this is a wild one. On this Final Friday show we attempt to go through the mailbag and then dig into the latest batch of your Amazon purchases, but are quickly derailed by multiple instances of hosts leaving the recording session, a pear confession, a Rorschach fax, a North Carolina grandmother with ALL the answers, and far too much discussion about Canadian bands. There are sub sandwiches, new nicknames, pronunciation questions, and a surprising detour into the unique challenge of being Joey Fatone. Christy and Hillary take Bobby to task over a careless comment. Ann’s concerned about pheromone cologne. Mike is definitely keeping up with the conversation. Vincent Gardenia! P.S. We’re still waiting on our invitations to that basketball party.

After a week of deep conversations with special guests on TBTL, Mike, Meredith and Bobby are ready to talk about free two-day anvil delivery, potential HVAC litigation, the music of Stackwell, and a shocking revelation about scones. Plus, we completely blow it on a Friends reference from a listener. But maybe instead of laughing at us, you’ll spill your ‘90s TV milk with us? That’s what Jen would want you to do.

Bobby has returned from Orlando, Meredith has a new house, Ann has a new nickname, and Mike’s studio has a new smell. Plus, a special New Orleans audio postcard from birthday girl Hillary, and a recap of last week’s TBTL. So climb aboard the Little Red Bandwagon, and be sure to sit with the other Grifflepuffers (or else you’ll get a conduct report). Maybe after the show we can go to CiCis. If after 2:08 of LRB you still need more audio in in your earholes, go check out The Dropout.

The streets are icy, the grocery store shelves are bare, and city life has ground to a halt, but at least you have this extra-long helping of LRB to keep you company! Mike, Hillary, and Ann settle in to make some sense of Luke’s pickup basketball skirmishes, agree that reserving rental cars willy nilly qualifies as a classic instance of Entitled Etiquette, ponder the difficulties of maintaining friendships, and express our parking lot rage fantasies. Hillary has solved the mystery of JFK’s assassination, although she’s OUTRAGED that you would think she’s drunk. Ann creates a hierarchy of subjects she doesn’t want to hear about in between episodes of trying really hard not to be eye-rolly about the Seattle Snowpocalypse. Mike’s trip to Vegas included less-than-optimal guardrails, a ride in a haunted elevator, and the horrors of magnified bathroom mirrors. Also, we talk about dongs for waaaaaaay too long, and I’d like to apologize to Beckys everywhere.

Hey, Wagoneers! Select your CDs, grab some road candy, and put a harness on the cat, because we’re going on a road trip. TBTL has a long history of car (and camper) travel, sometimes while recording. Ann and Christy are talking about some of the ins and outs of TBTL road trip experiences, including a comparison of the different road rules employed by Jen and Luke, Andrew’s idea of what would be the least stressful method of cat transportation, and the terror inspired by Luke’s simultaneous driving and recording shenanigans. Plus, we discuss the inconvenience of regional liquor laws, the problems with camping for women, and whether or not there will be Netflix on the moon. And what IS the acceptable lower limit for a nightly room rental?

Neither cold nor work nor Dr. Octagon can keep Bobby, Hillary and Ann from curating (just kidding) a recap of the latest week of TBTL. In addition to our usual sizzling hot TBTL takes, Left-handed Bobby is hoping for official early admission to Grumpy Old Men™ Inc., Hillary has some big news (that’s your cue, Andrea) and Ann’s mid-illness notes this week include dazzling details like “I tuned out for a while,” “Something about Hitler” and “Hog dog song lady.” Also: Listen to the podcast Keep It, feel free to use “It’s Fine™” (but know we might bill you back), and—if you must eat 50 eggs—considered ordering some deviled.

Well friends, another week of TBTL is on the books, and Hillary, Ann, and Mike are dialing up to get crammed with meditation and break it all down. After a few more inside jokes and a discussion of the finer points of It’s Fine™, we circle back for some raisin TYPs and decide we’re not here to make friends. We’re in total agreement that Luke and Andrew’s embarrassing passive-aggressive behavior is going to lead to one of them getting punched in the head, and that we should study it out regarding the effects of marijuana, but we differ on whether you should treat yo self to some water in the toilet. Hillary’s been folding Star Wars underwear for a thousand years. Mike’s grandfather died in the Storage Wars. And Ann has a connection to a very big Eighties tv star. Plus, Malcolm Gladwell Superiority Complex, why Chris Hayes never skips his A block, and a very slow hoochie cooch from trees.

On this Final Friday edition of the show, Bobby, Christy, Mike and Ann don’t let a near complete lack of preparation stand in the way of combing through two months of listener emails, and exploring the history of some of LRB’s greatest* inside jokes. (Hat tip to listener Kristen for the segment idea!) Plus, Ann has a big announcement, Mike owes someone a Cheese Party, Christy is still on the hunt for NECCO hearts, and Bobby is ready to bring insult comedy to the funeral circuit. Other hot topics include boogers, Moira Kelly, underweighted props, the worst of reality TV, and eggs-in-grocery-bag placement. Enjoy! *not necessarily in quality or hilarity

Hey Man, it’s a new recap episode of Little Red Bandwagon! Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are here to guide you through Luke’s vacillating feelings toward Marie Kondo, the dramatic canceling of Ron & Don, Andrew’s (and Hillary’s) love of TV Guide’s Cheers & Jeers, the complicated Waffle House dialect, and much much more. Meanwhile y’all, Hillary’s dealing with a Frankenstein (you mean Frankenstein’s monster?) child, Ann is grappling with the intense cold, and Bobby is living it up with the New York City Tens. Finally – what the hell was Andrew’s hilarious dream joke? Phyllis??!?!

Welcome to another Boot the Boys episode, where Meredith, Hillary, and Ann are ready to offer their hot takes on Luke and Andrew’s hot takes on everything from the nutrition level of various vegetables to the appropriateness of playing the Humpty Dance during Grandparents’ Hour at a wedding. We’re fond of our TBTL friendos, but it’s difficult not to roll our eyes (so, so difficult) as they advocate for being “laughingly aloof” to defuse conflict, obsess YET AGAIN over the tone other people use when interacting with them, and apparently believe in grocery store fairies. In other news, Meredith is becoming a real estate mogul, Hillary’s ashamed of her Hazelnut Coffee-mate addiction, and Ann has a defiant message for Netflix.

On this month’s clip show, Ann, Christy, and “try-hard theater kid” Hillary have brought their tap shoes and jazz hands to talk about the long-standing and somewhat problematic relationship TBTL has with musical theater. We’re pissed off at 2008 Luke’s attitude, but proud of how far he’s come since then. Jen’s star turns at Jesus Creek were continually thwarted by the shortcomings of Eric Trout. We listen to Susie and Luke have a sweet, sentimental conversation about Shirley Temple. And the Stu-bot wants to be in the band. Find out which show Christy loved so much that she carried a token of it for years, what unusual strategy Hillary’s World History teacher employed to contain her enthusiasm, and where to find online footage of the first musical Ann ever starred in (kidding - there is ZERO chance I’m giving up that info). Also on tap for discussion: the Christian kids’ theater industry, real talk about the difficulty of bringing diversity to Broadway, and how we make the argument to haters that musicals aren’t just dumb. Plus, Hamilton spoilers, how to best watch Moulin Rouge, the obvious reason straight guys should love musicals, and safety issues when dancing with bowling balls.

It’s the second week of TBTL’s pre-taped holiday shows, but Bobby, Meredith, Mike, and Ann still have plenty to say regarding man movies, Ray Liotta’s beautiful eyes, how peeing outside is fine™, and the sartorial advantages of peacoats. More serious discussions include how we deal with poor tippers (those West Michigan Dutch, amirite?), our frustration with Luke’s ceaseless diet talk, and the transcendence of Texas gas station food. In host news, Bobby’s been Twitter sleuthing (again), Mike still hates ‘My Favorite Things,’ Meredith’s dealing with the consequences of Bear’s bathroom explorations, and Ann has finally lost her ever-lovin’ mind.

Ann, Bobby, Hillary, Mike, and Meredith are back with an unprecedented two-week recap that they somehow got through in under two hours. (Hooray for us!) Mike stayed up way too late seeing Charley Crockett and is very “chipper,” Bobby (and Sam and Cupcake) are now famous throughout the greater Buffalo Niagara region, Hillary doesn’t know what to do with her kids for the rest of Winter Break and needs tips (help!?!?!), Meredith insists you take your muddy shoes off in her new home, and Ann declares that “Wonderful Christmastime” has “bad bones.” As for TBTL, we’re digging into Luke’s new vegan obsession and why he keeps talking about it even though literally nobody cares, the origins of Soak’em (NEWSIES! Maybe?), the TBTL crew’s favorite vacations, smells, pets, etc. and so much more. Happy New Year, Wagoneers!  Let's go to the Mall!

This episode originally aired in December 2017. That said, it’ll still do a fine job distracting you at work this week in 2018. Enjoy! Here’s the original write-up: “You cannot sing ‘parum pum pum pum’ and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.” It’s the holiday season, so we thought we’d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians – you’re welcome, too!). Christy and Ann are ready to share their thoughts on everything from loud ringing bells to NORAD’s Santa Watch. Luke’s obsession with Christmas music leads us into a long discussion of our own likes and dislikes. Jen is once again proven to be our spirit animal. The story of Luke’s first adult Christmas makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Ann spreads a family story that we’re sure her brother will appreciate. Plus, nativity shenanigans, problematic cookie exchanges, and two wonderful traditions in the Wise family. And we discover a shocking fact about Zac Efron that makes us feel better about our impending mortality. P.S. Sorry this show is so long, but it’s mostly because we put a massive bonus clip at the end that we couldn’t bear to leave out. Also, we talked a lot.   This show contains clips from the following TBTL episodes: 11/24/2008 (holiday music); 12/09/2010 (Jen Andrews, Salvation Army Bell, Paul McCartney, Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time, Cate Blanchett, face cream); 12/06/2012 (Luke’s first radio show, NORAD Santa watch); 12/16/2013 (Luke’s childhood, Christmas tree, Ariel tree topper).

Join us as we gather together to open our Secret Santa gifts! Everything we got was pretty good (and definitely not bombs), but you’ll get the greatest gift of all—a distraction from your family and holiday obligations. Enjoy!

Ann, Hillary and Meredith are meeting in the LRB conference space, and we DEFINITELY have an agenda, although we’ll need to keep it short so we’re not late for yoga. It was a strange, somewhat gross week of TBTL, full of things in nostrils that shouldn’t be, rambling discussions about “funny” Christian singers, and seriously shady Lyft drivers. We’re head over heels for guest cohost Jeannie Yandel, her awesome podcast, and her attitude toward meetings, agree that Luke should stop trying to ‘cute pic’ Carey into vegetarianism, and take the guys to task for expecting their coworkers to roll with their ineptitude. Hillary reluctantly says that ugly sweater parties are fine™. Meredith needs to replace that bottle of Glenlivet. Ann shares how she took parking lot pedestrian behavior to new levels of passive-aggressiveness. Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go look up the details of Zach Braff’s life.

It’s December 2018, and another year draws to a close at the Little Red Bandwagon. We’ve had a lot of fun talking about TBTL, as well as pop culture, sports, candy, pets (new and old), tasty beverages, the state of the world and our own lives. So for this month’s clip show, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of our favorite moments on our own show. Okay, they’re some of Ann’s favorite moments, since this was her idea and she was the one who trawled through the entire year to scoop them up. Listen as we discuss, argue and laugh our way through 2018. We hope you had as much fun listening as we had recording.

Mike, Bobby and Ann have punched the clock for our latest TBTL Week in Review, and they’re just hoping to make it through this bohemoth with as few sprinkles in unsavory places as possible. Mike has a surprisingly sound theory about Moby and Beck, Bobby has just discovered a little show on Netflix called Breaking Bad, and when it comes to TBTL showering love on our friends over at the Preheated podcast, Ann is feeling a lot like Luke’s crackers—a little salty. Plus, we get to know Peef the Christmas Bear, a delightful explosion of joy we can only assume was named during the unbridled thrill of a truly satisfying public transit survey.

This week, we’re coming in hot with takes that burn like salicylic acid. Meredith is calling out Michael Pollan. Bobby is correcting the record on the Golden Griffins. Hillary is slamming on The Doors. Mike is mad at avocados. And we’re all calling BS on both hippie mayo, and Andrew’s claim that he’s never had ranch dressing. (Unless, of course, he was raised strictly Catalina.) Plus, we take some time to remember Duchess, a doggo who really brought the block together, and who was perhaps the most perfect answer to the age-old question, “who’s a good girl?”

Listen back with us to December 2015, when Bobby and Christy interviewed Christmas-loving Jew and Brooklyn Ten Stephanie Lee, and listened back to TBTL’s legendary Top 5 Modern Day Christmas Songs Mashup from 2011. We’ve got a quick update from Stephanie, who in the last three years was finally forced to give up her Blackberry and get an iPhone. Click here for the Christmas Music Dropbox folder, which Bobby originally built in 2014. And stay tuned for a new Spotify playlist!   LRB #71: Jingle All Oy Vey with Stephanie Lee TBTL #978: Modern Day Christmas Songs

Welcome back to the LRB, friendos – Mike, Meredith, Bobby, and Ann have all survived another Thanksgiving unscathed, and we hope that you have, as well. Our roll holes are stuffed with some sort of carb (with butter, natch), so we’re ready to get down to the business of your latest TBTL recap. On the Burbank family menu this holiday: wet paper bag turkey, garbage bread stuffing, Aunt Mary Lou’s cheese-sprinkled broccoli salad, and potatoes of mysterious production methods. On the host front, Meredith has a dilemma re: some misdirected money. Ann pleads for an end to all the disgusting show topics. Mike’s as real as the poop in the streets. And things are going to start happening to Bobby now. Plus, a fire take on chopsticks, the menace of the Jolly Green Giant, an inside look at pizza conventions, how many people do you need to let the dogs out anyway, and the work of Soup Kitchen Stevens. Parades for everyone! Here’s the episode with Stu telling Mike’s favorite podcast story ever: #194 (recap): Not So Vas My Friend

It’s a very special Thanksgiving edition of Little Red Bandwagon! Ann’s Apple-Pear Cruble Pie is going in the oven once Bobby’s spatchcocked turkey comes out. Hillary is hitting the (worst possible) road. Meredith is ready to play an important roll/role. Mike is ready for some football. And outspoken Thanksgiving food-hater Christy is fleeing to Palm Springs. Help us boost our Poditron™ numbers by listening while you should be paying attention to your family.

Crack open a Topo Chico (glass bottle, please) and Come Sail Away with the LRB for a recap of one of the loooooooooongest weeks of TBTL we can remember. The reunited I-35 Crew of Ann, Hillary, Meredith and Mike have gathered to make what lemonade we can out of this lemon, even if it means listening to endless talk about vegetarianism, vanilla dairy-free mac and cheese, and unappealing carb substitutes. We dig into the flaw in the premise of “giant bow” car commercials, ponder the hotness level of Beto O’Rourke, thoughtfully discuss the trickiness of trans pronouns, and agree that, despite our civic responsibility, we want no part in the El Chapo trial. Hillary’s ashamed that her knowledge of twins consists of Mary Kate and Ashley references. Mike insists his nickname is El Gaupo (where’s that eye-rolling emoji when you need it?). Ann explains why she doesn’t go to the movies with her mom. Meredith reminds us that kids have been drawing boobs using parentheses for decades. We’re pretty confident that we got this.

The struggle is real on this week’s TBTL Week in Review. Forty N’ QUERTY Hillary’s anxiety is flaring because of the messy house in The Cat in the Hat, Word-forgetter Bobby is drinking warm Maker’s Mark with a Fresca back, and Future Detroit Tiny Fence Concert Host Meredith is at her wit’s end single-parenting the heck out of Bear. We’re happy for Luke’s positive life choices, and that Rich is (a) real(ly good friend), even if Luke is Frank Lloyd Wrong about where to keep his lasagna leftovers. Apologies to those who wrote throw-your-phone messages we missed. As you’ll hear, we … were getting pretty loose by the end of this one. Maybe we’d take ourselves more seriously if we had a theme song by BJ Leiderman, “the manic-depressive minstrel of public media.” This episode is sponsored by Honest Kitten cat food.

This month on the LRB clip show we’re taking a deep dive into one of our favorite segments: fire up the theme music, because we’re doing some Cooking With Sean! Our second-favorite KIRO board op is known for his creative culinary pursuits, and we’re looking back at just a few of the recipes he’s tested out on TBTL. We’ll hear about a heavily modified tuna casserole, dubiously flavored pickles, hotel room hacks that get forced on unsuspecting live show guests, and the questionable decision to introduce an open flame into the workplace. Christy is fleshing out a new conspiracy theory, while Ann makes a shameful food-related confession. Plus, leafy greens, a queso emergency, orange slice candies as a palate cleanser, an act of grocery store thievery, and weird ice cream. Is Sean a flavor visionary or a just a mad experimenter? Heck if we know.

This week, Bobby, Ann, Mike and Hillary are trying some new positions for the TBTL Week in Review. In some ways, it was more challenging than usual. In others, it was highly rewarding. It definitely lasted longer than usual. We hope you find it as stimulating as we did. Besides all that TBTL, Bobby is finally watching The Good Place, Ann wore a bra the other night for nothing, Mike was bested by a sickly sweet mess that was still no match for Abbey, and Hillary loved her surprise birthday party, even though it was over a P.F. Chang’s. And as if you need to hear it one more time: GO VOTE YOU TURKEYS. It’s Fine™.

Over here at the LRB we know that you were promised a handful of special pet-related episodes of TBTL last week. We also know that these promises were poorly fulfilled, as our TBTL friendos proved once again that following a show sheet is not one of their stronger skills. Luckily, your LRB hosts can fill that gap, bringing more pet-related content than all three of TBTL’s Pet-agogy episodes combined (not that it was difficult). Mike is contemplating hair-of-the-dogging-it while his fingers are being decimated (literally) by cat attacks. Ann tells the tale of her self-mutilating hamster before she throws her newly-replaced phone over another mind-boggling Burbank statement. Meredith reflects on the civility of the mosh pit and how her dad got a bad case of prairie dog plague. Also on today’s agenda: secret therapy whispers, the Shaggy Defense, karaoke trapdoors, the problem with fake meat, White Guy Confidant Syndrome, the zucchini measure of friendship, and much more.

It’s the Final Friday of the month, and it’s time to close the Johnson Account. Ann, Christy, Mike and Bobby have an overflowing mailbag, hot takes on an array of TBTL sponsors, and a late-night hookup for homemade microwaved salami chips that would probably make Luke question his newfound quasi-vegetarianism. Plus, Bobby’s failed mattress re-boxing, Mike’s inherited underwear, Christy’s new pup Buddy (née Bullet, almost Mullet), and Ann’s opinion that the rest us are “nutburgers.” This episode is brought to you by Harry’s Berries. Just in time for halloween, give the kind of treat local TV news has been scaring parents with for decades: Harry’s Berries.

We’re getting close to Halloween so the LRB coven of Hillary, Meredith, and Ann is reconvening, with Mike taking his life into his (kitten bitten) hands to join them. There’s a thorough discussion of the new LRB family additions (both cat and human), another emotional breakdown from Mike, a peek at the Van Harn family’s pending super villain, and the continuing countdown to Hillary’s big day (carry me, Daddy!). In fact, we’ve got so much LRB business this week that we barely have time to recap TBTL, but we still manage to share our thoughts on Andrew’s scooter saga, Luke’s potential “house pig,” unnecessary tired weed jokes, and the yelling system. Everyone’s on board as Ann plays all her rage cards simultaneously for the throwiest Throw Your Phone moment ever. Plus, our own unfortunate towing stories, why Diet Coke is the best soda ever, The Good sTens Place, and it’s not Saucy Meat Time. Yet.

Are you a Luke, or an Andrew? If you’re listening to our LRB, you’re probably neither! (And that’s OK, because we’d think less of you for paying $3.50 a bottle for Lipton Diet Green Tea.) Now that that’s settled, enjoy this TBTL Week in Review covering everything from airport anxiety and buzzed birds to new RV restrictions and “Minnesota Nice.” Plus, Hillary is going through a mid-life crisis, Bobby is an over-chicked toddler, Mike has discovered André the Giant’s wikipedia page, and Ann was LRB’s official ambassador to the TBTL live show at a perfectly fine brewery that wasn’t Surly. But really, we’re all just waiting for someone to take those last couple of pieces covering up our Kai Ryssdal cutout and fire them into the trash. Don’t mind the pitted-out Browns T-shirt in there.

Pull on some tonight pants and wrap yourself in your most stylish snuggie, because today we’re talking about fashion. Ann and Christy are not exactly style icons, but that doesn’t stop them from digging into a variety of clips that showcase the fashion choices of TBTL’s most image-conscious host. This episode is chock full of Luke’s rules (no shorts on men), boasts (we just don’t understand his fashion acumen), and grievances (clothing stores should only carry stock for the current season). We’ll get to hear the genesis of Operation Fancy Pants, as well as the Jen vs. Luke showdown during the White V-Neck Incident of 2008. And we strongly agree that he wasn’t wearing black socks with white Vans “ironically”. Of course, we have to take little time to talk about our personal fashion philosophies; Christy outlines the history of the mullet, while Ann illustrates the pitfalls of complimenting someone on their appearance in any way. Plus, some unfortunate pants-splitting experiences.

Nobody’s attended more TBTL events than Christy (except Luke, I guess), so she and Ann get together for this quick minisode to recap the TBTL Night at the Mariners event from September. Hey, it’s our podcast, so we can post an episode whenever we want! It was an evening full of fun moments, including a hilarious Hanna Brooks Olsen, Luke’s fly dance moves, the pursuit of one of Ellie’s life ambitions, and way too much thinking about Andrew’s tongue. Plus, a kid bathroom emergency, fond(?) remembrances of The Mummy’s antics on the Tour de Terrible, and a discussion of the “living hell” that is curriculum night.

How many podcasters does it take to determine if that’s a mole or a skin tag? None on this show, thankfully. But, five of us have gathered anyway for this week’s TBTL Week in Review, just in case. Some of us are trying to moderate our frustration with Luke and Andrew with varying levels of success. Others are just trying to stamp out forest fires. In other news, Bobby is too busy for last names, Hillary is causing early-onset parent embarrassment, Mike has issues with RoboCop, Meredith recently stumbled upon the grand opening of a KFC (with Phyllis!), and Ann recalls the time she and some friends rented a VHS tape about Peckerdine University. (And it definitely wasn’t for their kid’s school project.)

Grab your box of Fruit Adventure Tic Tacs, because it’s time for another recap of TBTL: The Week That Was. Ann, Mike, and Meredith have gathered around the scallop banana hotdish (ick) to rehash the latest in Massholes, our issues with Serial season 3, how many weed lobsters one needs to eat to get high, feline predatory instincts, and plenty of other topics. Why is Meredith sympathizing with Genevieve? What’s causing Mike to astral project during TBTL? Why is Ann still trying to listen to the No Point Conversion? And what exactly is the Sexy Doctor setting on your razor? Plus, naturalistic fallacy, shirts on a plane, how to successfully get a hair cut, octopus glow sticks, and Mike is upset about Snack. Again.

It’s the final Friday of the month, so the gang’s gathered together to make sure we can close the Johnson account with sparkling clean teeth. First, Mike tells us all about his long-awaited trip back to the Pacific Northwest, including an important lesson he learned about traveling with prosthetics. We dig into a bunch of Throw Your Phone submissions that range from questions about different colors of Twitter, to the rodent-ness of rabbits (and their homicidal tendencies), to the desperate need for the return of the TBTL Science Council, to a delightful fantasy of the LRB coven in action. Then we take a look at all the wonderful, wild, mysterious things you guys have purchased using our Amazon affiliate link: ice makers, dirt bikes, tutus, personal creams (earmuffs, kids!), and lots and lots of turkey stew. Bobby ruins his Amazon search history. Meredith scolds the listeners over some dubious health product purchases. Mike loves infomercials’ “before” footage. Ann just wants a water feature, guys. Important Amazon links: Want to cool your Diet Coke in a minute flat? Check out the Chill-O-Matic beverage cooler. Looking to buy four water bottles? Here’s Luke’s preferred model of Klean Kanteen.

It’s the crack of 9am Central, and Hillary (not THIS Hillary), Bobby (not THIS Bobby) and Meredith (not THIS Meredith) have run recklessly back and forth across McGrath Highway in Summahville to bring you this new TBTL Week in Review. (Now with a Soy Option!) Served between piles of take-and-bake pizzas and colorful, untouched crudités platters, we’re really thinking this could be the episode that gets us the chance to sit in the audience at a panel discussion on podcasting. Because if not, we’ve just been sitting in our own juices for eight hours for nothing.

Fueled by lukewarm rosé and cold water from various bottles discussed only briefly in passing (you’re welcome), Bobby, Hillary and Ann are staying up late on Friday to recap the latest week of TBTL. Plus, find out why Bobby is in Worcester, Hillary is in bed, and Ann is clearing her Google image search history. This episode brought to you by Occam’s Razors, the simplest choice in shaving. This week recaps TBTL 2724 (Ferryboat crash with Carey, Mac Miller, Russia Dominos tattoo, Diet Coke, pizza, ranch vs blue cheese, Godfather, FaceTime, NPC), 2725 (twitter, black twitter, water bottle, schlub Chris Hughes flag football, Dr. Death), 2726 (Popeyes, Anne Rice, celery, butter on saltines, CPAP, lobster big thing, Luke’s credit, phishing, William S. Burroughs), 2727 (Rudy fur, Spotless, Kaepernick, CNN eating healthy tailgate), 2728 (Skyjinx, SeaTac, Renton Burger King bathroom, SOTS winner, Luke’s roulette numbers).

Pull your shirt up over your face, hide beneath a blanket, or do whatever it is you need to do to get through this, because it’s time for some embarrassing stories. One of the great things about our TBTL friendos is their willingness on a regular basis to dredge up the most unfortunate and cringeworthy things that have happened to them. Many of these stories have been covered on this podcast already, but Ann and Christy have returned with a new crop of tales about interactions, both small and large, that make us nervous and sweaty while listening (usually while hollering, “Luke, noooooooooo!”). We’ve got an unfortunate trilogy of celebrity interactions - one at a bar, one over email, and one involving … puppets. There’s the time Luke commented on something you should never, ever, EVER address with a woman. And, in our “it wasn’t your fault” segment, Jen tells a story about how she was tripped up by inappropriate tipping practices and a nautically-themed restaurant employee. Oh, and you didn’t think we’d do this show without sharing a few embarrassing moments of our own, did you? Christy had a spectacular night at Pride many years ago, while Ann was the cause of another person’s cringey memory.

The newly minted LRB coven of Meredith, Hillary, and Ann Come Together in this episode to cast some spells against the Patriarchy, hex the current political power players, and direct our evil eye toward Michael Pollan and Gwyneth Paltrow. (By the by, Luke, we tend to dislike her for reasons other than that she’s “perfect” and has a good relationship with her ex-husband.) It was kind of a rough week of TBTL, so we have a lot to break down, including whether it’s rude to wear earbuds in a ride share, podcasts as exploitative entertainment vs. worthwhile journalism, the pitfalls of complimenting a woman, and the awful business of collegiate athletics. Plus, burgeoning sympathy for Luke’s educational deficiencies, Andrew’s encroaching old man grumpiness, the three most terrifying words in the workplace, and the parenting cycle continues.

This week your LRB hosts are all under the weather in different ways, but we’re soldiering on to bring you the TBTL week in review. We’ve got a plethora of topics, including duplexing tips from Missy Elliott, new fall menu items for McDonalds, and an existential question about whether life is worth living without the noodles. Bobby ran himself into a froggy state (complete with sound effects), Meredith developed a new criterion for Airbnb reviews, while Ann had a very important houseguest. Plus, getting trapped in Canada, how nasal spray is like love, and French dip snobbery. Bonus: it’s the debut of the LRB Poetry Corner!

Bobby, Ann, Hillary, Christy and Mike aren’t sure if Little Red Bandwagon can have a true river show, but they are sure they can successfully be derailed from most of their (admittedly thin) show sheet for this end-of-the-month Friday special by a message from an anonymous listener in the mailbag. On the upshot, we did still read a bunch of listener emails, unlike some shows we know. Plus, queso envy, wide stance jokes, a KIDZ BOP singalong, Michael Winslow-esque sounds from one host’s bo-o-dy, full immunity in Wyoming, housekeeper Christoph Waltz, Bryan Cranston in his tighty-whities, and much, much more. And, we’re all still on Facebook.

Mike, Ann, and Hillary are back at it again with the black Chucks to recap another week of TBTL, and in between our “attaboys” to one other, we’ve got a few things we’d like to discuss. Our TBTL boys are now both off Facebook, and we agree that was probably a good decision. Luke is already rebuilding his karmic imbalance with his Live Wire fibs, and Andrew should either change the show or stop apologizing for it. We have no idea what the hell all this Petey Pablo business is about, but we’re pretty sure it isn’t worth the effort to find out. And in ridiculous business ventures, someone out there is making a mint from the sale of “deodorant crystals.” Plus, Mike’s social life is in full swing, Hillary’s husband can’t take her anywhere, and Ann already deeply regrets engaging in a discussion concerning yambag shaving.

Join the I-35 Crew: The Next Generation of Ann, Mike and Hillary as we start the show with a surprising amount of bra talk, then move on to the week in TBTL. Along with a lively debate over the seminal work of a-ha, we concoct a strategy to get the guys to Larrimah, Australia, sing the praises (sorta) of Billy Joel, and address the appropriate way to discuss suicide and mental health issues in a public forum. In SOTS news, the Tens are apparently voting against Andrew, which kind of makes us happy because we are bad people. Plus, Mike’s pulling a Reverse Belichick, Hillary had a Marcia Brady experience at the ballpark, and Ann practically died at yoga.

It’s getting towards the end of summer, and Meredith, Hillary, Ann and Mike are trying to capitalize on the days we have left. Some of us are reading our Nancy Drews on our bunkbeds at the cabin, while some are bawling our eyes out over in the Documentary Corner ™, but we all made time to check in on our lovable TBTL dummies’ latest shenanigans. Luke came out of the whole boat crash situation about as well as could be expected, which is ever so slightly irritating. The abundance of movie talk over the week leads to conversations about Far and Away-era Tom Cruise, theories about the appeal of Kubrick movies, and assurances that liking The Matrix doesn’t make you one of those creepy men’s rights dudes. And we agree that nobody needs a wiener (of any kind) on their clothing. Plus, Mike wants to know if there are actual doctors in Bellingham, Ann is cautiously optimistic over how Song of the Fall is shaping up, and Hillary’s ready to start her retirement fantasy life of playing nickel slots at the casino. Oh, and if anyone asks, Meredith is a resident of Wyandotte, MI.

Our TBTL friendos spend a lot of time talking about their daily lives, so it’s no surprise that their animals are part of the fabric of the show. But what about the furry friends who came before? Ann and Christy decide it’s high time to take a look back at two TBTL pets of yesteryear: Luke’s cat Pagoda and dog MoMo. We debate whether Pagoda’s dignity is eroded by being forced to use the toilet and then listen to Luke abandon his dignity when he chooses not to. MoMo has some issues (and an affinity for a specific piece of floor covering). Luke is apparently less scary than a Mexican floor installer, but only slightly. As far as our own animals go, Christy has a pet history littered with tragedy, while Ann “trained” an amazing circus hamster. Then we spend way too much time talking about the Empire Today carpet guy and the new computer-generated Peanuts characters. Plus, the eternal wisdom of Bonnie Raitt.

Pontiac Bobby, Subaru Meredith and  Camaro Mike (or is that Camero Meke?)  recap the last two weeks of TBTL Car Talk episodes with approximately the same level of effort and care Luke and Andrew (and Kevin and Genevieve) put into them. Plus, find out why Bobby used to burn through D batteries, Mike missed his senior yearbook picture, and Meredith (apparently) haaaaaad to suck on a tube in an old Mercedes. (Don’t Google it.) Oh, and Bobby bought a house.

It’s a special episode of the show as the Little Red Bandwagon (minus Mike) is hanging out in the disgusting, ugly, dumb city of Seattle. After a fun evening with the Wagoneers at Gas Works Park, we’re spending the next day at the lake, and manage to squeeze in a quick debrief of all the fun. Then we go along with the ladies on their Singles tour around the city, which includes conversation about music, Matt Dillon’s fashion, and movie trivia, plus a little light stalking. Additionally, there’s boat cake, pickle talk, and a visit from a surprise guest.

On this Final Friday in July, Hillary, Christy, and Ann are getting together to sort through the mailbag, talk about potential Burbank boat names, and discuss a few of our most memorable summer vacations. Some quality Throw Your Phone™ entries from the Wagoneers get us thinking about how Mike has ruined things, planning to ambush Luke with a syringe (it’s for his own good! And listener Scott’s sanity!), and dabbling in unfortunate accents. In vacation talk, Hillary’s semi-wild teenage cruise leaves us questioning her claim of being a goody-goody, Christy has more vacation horror stories than any one person should have, and Ann explains why she hates the Badlands of South Dakota. In camp experiences, one of us lived a teen girl's dream, one of us yearned for something that was not to be, and one of us depended on MTV for her summer entertainment. Plus, a new purpose for some of our Amazon purchase kickbacks, and some very important news about Tate Donovan. Repeat after me: “Charge it to the room.”

Unlike Luke’s boat, Hillary, Bobby, Ann and Mike are firing on all cylinders, and are ready to co-captain a two-hour pleasure cruise through the latest week of TBTL. Because this week, we are all Jerrys. (The only person happier than us is probably Kevin O’Brien.) Plus, Mike tells his Credit Card Debt Silver Lining Alert™, Ann shares her recent kitchen scare (don’t worry, the cookies for the picnic are OK), Hillary seems a little too happy to be down a kid for the week, and Bobby channels a hybrid of Phyllis Fletcher and Rap Master Maurice. Some additional notes: COME TO THE PICNIC on Friday! Check out this chiropractor commercial by Rhett & Link if you can handle the pops and cracks. Check out Crime Writers On for actual discussion of the S-Town lawsuit Check out Hit Parade because it’s awesome We love you, Kathleen!

Hey, we know you’re busy looking for your new barndominium, but take a break and check in with the LRB crew as we run through the previous week’s TBTL content, thin though it may be. Topics for discussion include sneeze hypocrisy and the perils of living with a sleep scream sneezer, Starship-related PTSD, alcohol-related reasons to go to Canada, documentaries that will make you cry, and some strong anti-consumerist sentiment. Plus, Hillary used the patriarchy to her advantage when (maybe?) buying a car, Meredith is getting a visit from the Dog Fairy, and Mike says it’s okay to be an asshole, as long as you’re entertaining.

On this special shameless crossover episode, join our friends Amy and Mitchell from Earbuds and Earworms on a musical exploration of YOUR listener-submitted summer songs! (And don’t forget to subscribe to E&E, because they do cool stuff like this every single week.) While you’re listening, go check out the new shirt (and mug!) designed by Josh Knisely—husband of Phyllis, father of Gus, social media hero of many—in our merch store. Wearing it (or drinking from it) will most certainly make you the toast of Valley Center, Ohio.

It’s Independence week, and the ladies of LRB are over here just chillin’. We’ve got some decisions to finalize before we gather in Seattle in a few weeks’ time, including the look of the costumes for our upcoming quidditch match at Gas Works Park, and the plan for our Singles tour of Seattle. In this week’s recap of TBTL, we come up with some tips for minimizing on-air allergy noises, figure out how we can qualify for disabled parking placards, and realize why so many breakfast cereals have undergone name changes in the years since our childhoods. Additionally, we discuss ballpark patriotism, how “it’s better than it sounds” is never a ringing endorsement, and how it can be that Paul Rudd is not a “weird, cat-faced monster.” Oh, and Luke? We love you, but keep your dog on a leash.

Neither heat nor illness nor live show jealousy stays Bobby, Ann and Meredith from recapping the latest week of TBTL—in part with a little help from LRB Southern Events Correspondent and Earbuds and Earworms host Amy Sheppard. If you’d like a snack for the journey but you’re on your post-adventure grind, you can either nab a bag of Protes from the GNC down at the intersection of Vanity and Insecurity, or you can just order some Beanitos from this shamelessly blatant Amazon referral link that nets us some of Jeff Bezos’ pennies with every order. (We keep them in extra Middle-Aged Mom-ish Ten mugs.) If either of them asks for your number, just remember, they don’t really care: It’s Leg Day.

Roll down your windows and crank up the volume, because this very special episode of Little Red Bandwagon featuring some of our all-time favorite “club bangers” is the perfect soundtrack for a leisurely cruise down Highway 694. (Maybe just turn it back down a bit for Mike’s stories, especially if you hit traffic.) Plus, we take a quick dip in the LRB Mailbag. Remember, we want to hear YOUR summer songs, too! Send them over to our friends at Earbuds and Earworms on Twitter, Facebook, email or voicemail (731-234-5578) for their upcoming show featuring your submissions. (And if you aren’t already subscribed to E&E, what are you doing with your life?! Amy and Mitchell are crushing it weekly.) For full tracks of the songs featured on this episode, check out our Spotify playlist. (We’ll add your songs submitted to E&E next week!) That should tide you over until the TBTL Song of the Summer contest, or the pilot episode of Phrends—whichever comes first.

Grab your bindle and your earbuds, because on this special TBTL-A-Thon Week in Review, Meredith, Hillary, Bobby and Mike join the Tens Across America celebrating what makes our fan community great. (Because even when we’re throwing our phones, we’re throwing our phones together.) In addition to recapping the highlights and lowlights of TBTL’s hitchhiking (and car-renting) hosts, Hillary and Meredith make the case for more women in corporate leadership, Mike continues to wage his war on kids’ snacks, and Bobby tries to scrub something he saw at The Wieners Circle from his brain by sharing it with everyone. Remember: Support TBTL if you can, or Columbus, Mississippi, will become Luke and Andrew’s Waterloo. And it doesn’t take a minor in world history (stop bragging, Mike) to know that’s a bad thing.

The TBTL-athon is fast approaching, and your intrepid LRB hosts are already getting a wee bit tired of hitchhiking “planning”. So, instead of spending much time on Luke’s inexplicable decision to pack only black shirts and Andrew’s steadfast desire to wear pants in the searing southern summer heat, Hillary, Ann and Mike are ready to debate how much moon dust the government actually needs, puzzle over what happens at monster truck shows, and wish a certain public radio personality all the best in his new life with his new bride. Mike has a story of wildlife (and Abbey) running amok at The Ranch. Hillary tells us about her uncomfortable experience watching the movie Parenthood. Ann gives a live demonstration of just exactly why she hates a specific song. Plus, the problem with portraying a serial killer, our new motto, and we entreat Andrew to “show a little respect for the nut.”

Don’t fill up at batting practice—Bobby, Ann and Flapjack Daddy Mike are breaking down a suite-full of hot dog stories, not to mention some actual thoughtful conversations about racism, depression and skyjinx karma. By the way, Bobby has started riding his bike again. And by the way, Ann thinks Bunnicula has plausible deniability. Oh and by the way, Mike knows he invented the term “hot dog story,” and he just wants his cut of all that sweet public radio cheddar.

The bowling alley is a place that looms large in the minds of our friendos, so Ann and Christy decide it’s time to grab our custom bowling shoes and hipster mustaches, as we take a trip back in time (and cleanliness) to explore TBTL’s love of the good ol’ American bowling alley. We mourn the changing city landscape that leaves no room for the alleys of our youth, agree with Luke that Lucky Strikes are terrible, and debate whether we need to expand our knowledge of bowling movies. Christy gets the nervous sweats from a classic Burbank Big Dog story, while Ann tries desperately not to sound like a One Percenter as she describes her childhood bowling experiences. Plus, bowling fashion, gutter bumpers, and one of the best listener emails ever.

It’s a Boot the Boys™ episode, so Ann, Meredith and Hillary are gathered at the base of the LRB cheerleading pyramid to plan our latest Mission: Impossible-style caper. But before we put that safety deposit box heist into motion, we need to get into the details of another week of TBTL. Despite some reservations, we whole-heartedly enjoyed our first look at what may potentially be WBUR’s newest smash weekend afternoon program. We have a calm, thoughtful breakdown of the continuing saga of Twitterbeef 2018, ask some follow-up questions concerning the upcoming TBTL: Life is a Highway sure-to-be debacle, and tell the guys to quit crapping all over Common, fer cryin’ out loud. Additionally, we sneak into ATM’s territory for a little advertising critique, cautiously approve of pizza roll grilling, and allow Luke’s misunderstanding of expiration dates to lead us into confessing our own sunscreen shame. Seriously, we’re amazed that Hillary’s nose hasn’t fallen off.

Resident middle-aged mommish person Hillary Garrett Livingston Butler unleashes the unliiiiiiiimited hot takes we’ve all been thinking as she leads Michael Andrew Frizzell and Robert Law(u)rence Pape through a TBTL Week in Review that reminds us that—for better or for worse … this week maybe worse—Luke is still Luke, Andrew is still Andrew, therapy is still a good idea, and Neil Hamburger still isn’t funny. In other news, the Insect Museum is finally on the market, and it’s conveniently close to a dumb ballet recital. We may do an LRB Big Block of Cheese Day, but only if we can find enough Colby-Jack. And, there’s nothing quite as unsettling as the courtship of a rich industrialist and a precocious 11-year-old girl. (Speaking of: If you get caught with the special grown-up crate in the children’s section, just tell ‘em The Bone sent ya.)

A veritable cavalcade of LRB hosts are assembled for our May round-up show, where we dig into your thoughtful commentary, strategize about our potential Grill and Chill franchise opportunity (Hillary will be our Parker Posey), and examine your recent Amazon purchases (Ann has GOT to stop googling things). Also on the agenda, we begin preliminary discussions about a possible plan to plan some summer plans, the triumphant return of Christy’s Corner sparks a discussion of our current viewing habits, and Mike’s Minute ends up fomenting discord among the group. Meredith lets us know that she hears us, she  understands us, and she disagrees with us. Plus, a spirited debate about the proper way to describe the Law & Order noise, and a return to the perpetual emotion machine. Thank you, pervs.

Since we landed just below the cutoff for that big radio contest, Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Hillary change gears and get back to the business of reviewing the latest week of TBTL, despite the aggressively political and sensual overtones coming from the couple at the other end of the communal pod-lobby. Plus, Hillary recommends the movie Tully, Meredith explains why she has been watching Law & Order SVU, Ann ardently avoids conversation about Robinson Canó, and Bobby accidentally sparks a conversation that may put Vitamin D—the hottest vitamin—on Mike’s list of language banned from conversation. (Here’s hoping he never sees Grease 2, or we might run out of words.)

Step into our money booth, take off your pants and break out the tar, because it’s time for another TBTL recap! We’ve got so much to talk about that we didn’t have time to finish slicing our hotdogs, even with our new kitchen harp. Included in this chock-full episode: we’re breaking out the judge’s hammer (gavel, dangit) to make a ruling on a new studio name. We promise not to tell the Red Robin staff it’s your birthday. We have a consensus that taking money you didn’t earn is wrong, unless you find it in a pair of pants at Value Village. We’re in disbelief over Luke’s casual attitude towards passports, as well as his comfort at driving with an expired license. And we’re in firm agreement that David From the Basement is the best thing about any show he’s on. Plus, Ann and Meredith have their first fight, and we prove that Frizzell isn’t the only one on this podcast who can tell a touching story.

It happens to us all: we’ve gotten off the plane and later realize our iPad is still in the seat back pocket. Oh, you haven’t? Well then, we’ve all left our belongings unattended at our departure gate while we go to the Hudson News to buy an outrageously overpriced Bag Of Farts. Not that, either? Uh, okay, we’ve all certainly taken a cab to a sketchy area of East Las Vegas to confront a “medium-terrifying Mexican guy” we suspect has our phone. Seriously, you haven’t done that? Right, because it’s only Luke Burbank who does those kinds of things. Ann and Christy are ready to take Burbs to task over his carelessness with his electronic possessions in locations that range from the airport to the back of cabs to his own bathroom. Along the way we discuss the salaries of flight attendants, Luke’s moral relativism, and whether or not we would ever ask a stranger to watch our luggage. Our big takeaway from this episode? “Don’t steal stuff.” This show contains clips from the following TBTL episodes: 10/21/2013 (Luke had his laptop stolen at LAX, beef jerky, TBTL drops); 10/30/2014 (Luke broke his laptop, unattended luggage); 9/26/2012 (iPads on planes, airline industry salaries, moral relativism); 1/22/2013 (Find My iPhone, East Las Vegas, cab rides, confrontation).

Newly minted co-host Hillary Livingston Butler leads Manchaca Mike and I-35-abutted Bobby on a special All-Texas Edition of LRB, including our TBTL Week in Review, a recap of our liquor -infused days of fun, and the joy of seeing Luke crush his appearance on Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! So pop off your legs, toss out those Bad Pants, and don’t sleep on the smoked turkey, because this one’s more fun than a Forensic Files marathon and a miracle epidural. Good stuff.

The last week of TBTL was an emotional one, and there isn’t really a great way to recap someone’s grief over the loss of a friend. Instead, Mike shares one of his own tough experiences with Ann and Bobby, and we all do some metaphorical (not literal) phone-hugging. That said, don’t worry! It’s not all so serious. We still had plenty of time to pick apart the guys’ irrational anxieties, our own issues with statue permanence (thank you David Copperfield), Emu’s Pink Windmill Kids, Mike’s crack update, Bobby’s Red Scare stare, Ann’s concern for Mr. Rogers, and a delicious veggie wedgie. Now if only we could explain that smell from the attic… Click here to take your seat in the Kia Optima for an audio ride back in time to a July 2017 trip to Lake Chelan, as referenced in today’s show.

Join Bobby, Mike, Ann and Christy for a month-end round-up of the TBTL and LRB topics from April we needed more time to cover, including: The winner of our seven-way candy melee The loser of all candy, ever (no poll necessary) More pet nicknames More oldest emails And more! Plus, Bobby’s coconut aversion, Mike’s cracked house, Ann’s awkward brunch, and a passing reference to the time Christy “googled porn.” It’s a grab bag of delight, without a single yambag in sight.

Hey friends, while we were waiting in line behind God for the microwave at the celestial 7-11, the LRB gang decided to make a few changes. So, we’re trying out a new style of recap this week, but don’t give us a Shorty Award just yet. Instead, listen in on a discussion that ranges from a science fiction technology that we think is more important than time travel to the best way to house your bitcoin mining operation. Meredith would rather have a cavity filled than listen to any more from The Rapsures. Mike gets hot under the collar at Luke’s dismissal of marketing professionals. Ann shares tales from the retail trenches that demonstrate why we need rules and policies in the workplace (or maybe just that people are terrible). Plus, radio charlatans, dark chocolate, new standards for insanity in men, and how many rivets should go in the door panel of a Tesla. We’re 112% CA-CAO!

It’s clip show time, and we’re taking a short break from attempting to deport Andy the fun-loving lemon thrower to talk about some nicknames. Meredith “Short Torso” Van Harn, Christy “Don’t Call Me Chrissy” Wise and Ann “Brontosaurus Rex” Lundholm are here to develop a set of rules for appropriate nicknames, talk about why you should never be friends with an asshole, and bemoan the difficulties of changing your name, as well as share under what circumstances you should get off the plane RIGHT NOW. On the TBTL front, we’ll get the story behind Jen Andrews’ most enduring nickname, learn the Rule of Three Steves, resolve YET AGAIN to keep a safe distance from The Mummy, and squirm at the original instance of Burbanking the Joke. P.S. Don’t forget to send Meredith your pet nicknames!

Neither snow nor cold nor gloom of post-surgery pain will keep Ann, Bobby and Meredith from recapping the latest week of TBTL. Between us we’ve got a Diet Coke bunker, a working fax line (617-354-8513), some Tylenol with Codeine and zero working VCRs, all divided by one. And thankfully, not a single dollop of anything in sight.

It’s been a busy week here in LRB Land, so this is just a quick update from Bobby to let you know we still love you, even after that thing you did. You know which thing. Remember your homework: Go listen to an episode from our extensive back catalogue of shows at littleredbandwagon.com Tell us about the oldest email in your gmail (or non-Google email, I guess) Tune into the recap on Monday p.s. I unplugged the refrigerator in my room to record this because it started making a loud noise right before I started. You’re welcome.

Make sure you’re wearing your Life Alert, because it’s time for a fresh recap of TBTL and we don’t want you to slip in the shower. Luke is pretending he isn’t a frivolous spender, while Andrew definitely, definitely lost on The Price Is Right: Whole Foods Salad Bar Edition. Although it turned out that the Roooosevelt apartment wasn’t on fire, our hot takes certainly are, as Ann and Mike are joined once again by guest host Hillary “H-Bomb” Butler to talk about the finest in kids’ television programming, the challenges of families and relationships in the modern world, and the need for a regular female presence on TBTL. Mike has more questions about space junk than one lady scientist can answer. Hillary creates a new segment called, “Tee It Up, Andrew!”. Ann says we should never question a man’s relationship with his pepperoni. Oh, and Mike tells a story that contains the phrase, “a Pat Benatar video where they dance battle a pimp.”

By popular demand (at least among the hosts) it’s the The LRB Candy Special! Ann, Christy, Mike and Bobby break down the official results of the LRB Candy Survey, and then use ultimate Jen Andrews-style authority to manipulate and overrule as needed to determine unequivocally which sweets can’t be beat in each category. (Stay tuned for a seven-way melee to determine the overall winner in a future episode.) Plus, Bobby tries all of the new Diet Coke flavors in real time, Mike sings some off-season Mariah Carey, Christy (for some inexplicable reason) hates chocolate, and Ann is not putting up with any nonsense because it’s Ann Time now.

It’s Easter at the LRB, and Branson the bunny is celebrating by deploying his turd cannon, while Edith the cat preps for a trip.  As for your hosts, after deciding on the next phase of our careers, we buckle down to discuss who should (or should not) approach celebrities for selfies, the positives of automated customer service, the Seventies sexiness of Michael Landon, and the real reason that men get married. Meredith has some low-capacity thumb drives she needs to part with, Mike made a poor spaghetti sauce-related decision, and Ann has a message for the car-packers of America. Plus, we dive deep into the career of noted ornithologist Steve Canada. Watch out, because this episode has more hot takes than a racist cable news host.

Christy records alone (don’t worry it’s only to setup the clips) in this replay of a classic archive LRB episode.    Listen to find out the answers to these questions: Why is Mrs. Bean Baxtor mad at Mike? Does Andrew want to get revenge on Bobby? Why Andrew and Christy are in a blood feud? What is Andrew’s TBTL origin story? And many more!    Clips in this show are from LRB #12 and TBTL #2595   Take the Candy Survey HERE  

Live from Regular Virginia, Ann joins Bobby and Meredith to brag about some Polish candy she received from a listener—a treat that sounds a lot better to some of us than the lie that is Raisinets. After candy talk (don’t worry, there’s more to come in future episodes) we recap the latest week of TBTL, and dole out life advice including “never test yourself on geography in public,” “Craig, throw out those bricks,” and “keep drinking, Kalena.”

Hillary Livingston “Trixie” “H-Bomb” “hiliv” Butler returns to join Mike “L’il Fat” “Shaggy” “Moose”  Frizzell and Bobby “Buy My Mixer” “no really, please buy my mixer” Pape for a special Friday potpourri edition of LRB. Topics discussed include but are not limited to: An exciting Stumpdate™ A casual Austin meet-up in May (planned in real time on the show, like you do) Bedtime with the Butlers A great offer on a used industrial kitchen mixer Awkward mirror placement, and Why acting like Holden Caulfield is not cool (*cough* Andrew) When you realize you haven’t had enough Hillary, go back and check out her previous LRB appearances; a recap from August 2016, and a Friday episode from June 2015 featuring a classic clip of Preacher Jen.

Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Mike have assembled to recap the latest week of TBTL, though it’s one of those weeks we’re really not sure why. At least we can all agree that Kiki’s Korner™ is an Instant Klassic™, and her Rosie Perez impression is even better than MIke’s. Plus, Ann is guest-lecturing at No Fun University, Bobby is in DC, Meredith is baffled (acoustically) by cats, and Mike just wanted a trim. Be sure to check out our Sweet 16 candy survey, and Andrew and Rachel Belle’s “Music is for Girls” playlist, if you’re into that kind of “girl music with wittle baby voices.”

Well, it’s finally come to this. We knew it would, because with Christy and Ann, all conversational roads eventually lead to candy. And for two guys whose preferred snacks generally involve alcohol and/or bags of farts, Luke and Andrew sure have spent some time talking about sugar. We’re just here to celebrate it, that’s all. From a long conversation about Skittles, to what kind of candy the KKK might pass out, to Luke’s hotel room binges, we’ve got a lot to cover. Further topics of discussion include candy taxonomy, our personal Top Five, successful Marshawn Lynch endorsement deals, and fruit flavor mythbusting. Plus, Christy shares her recipe for Peeps Three Ways, and Ann has an idea for some new LRB merch.

We’re short on time because the Lyft is arriving to take Meredith, Mike, and Ann to see The Black Panther Movie, but we managed to squeeze in a recap without getting too deshoveled. We have a split panel on the merits of modern movie theaters, but we all agree that we’ve reached the limits of our tolerance for dive bars and speakeasies, and that there’s no way we’re letting the horror flick that is those creepy clappers into our houses. Mike is mad (and hungry), mostly about words (and Big Mac Jrs.). Meredith is happy to be alone and drunk and not tweeting. Ann is busy looking for depictions of ancient pornography (ONLY FOR THE SHOW PICTURE, SWEAR TO GOD).

It’s the inaugural episode of LRB is Mystery Solvers (we solve our own mysteries whenever we feel like it, and no one’s getting free pizza, unfortunately). In pursuing that lofty goal, we’re getting to know Nace Hentschell, burgeoning Seattle lumberjack, grower of giant vegetables, and unironic Belieber. Nace shares some stories from his multiple run-ins with Camaro Kev and The Burbs at a certain well-known local karaoke joint, teaches us a new way to react when things aren’t going great, and reveals himself as an LRB benefactor of the highest order. Then we listen back to an early TBTL clip where we learn about MTV’s short-lived singing competition, Rock the Cradle, and the trainwreck performances of Chloe “Lana Del Rey Without the Talent” Lattanzi. Plus, the birth of an iconic TBTL drop, and Luke uses a truly disgusting simile. Bonus links: the episode Nace mentioned where Luke had to beg for bus fare is #1040: DaiseyGate Continues!, and as a special treat, here’s a compilation of Chloe's performances on Rock the Cradle. Her performance of Toxic starts at 4:34, but watch at your own risk of secondhand embarrassment. Seriously. I warned you.

Welcome to Fork ’n’ Pan, the restaurant where we serve an entire batch of baked treats as one serving, still in the pan! Take this fork, have a seat on the couch, get cozy in your Van Harn Original Charcoal-Activated Anti-Fart Slanket*, turn the TV to whatever channel you like, and know that Mike, Bobby and Meredith are not here to judge you. That said, Two Sticks, Shufflin’ Papes and the MVH are ready to deliver verdicts on matters of Entitled Etiquette™ parking, basic recycling skills, the shortcomings of the recent listener challenge and more in our latest TBTL Week in Review. And thanks to the Spencerian Penmanship theory book —an exquisite manual priced at only fifteen dollars seven—our points will someday be written in impeccable hand.   *patent pending

As March 2018 marks Ann With A Plan Lundholm’s second anniversary as an LRB co-host, we’re taking a listen back to her inaugural appearance on the show with Christy and Mike back in 2016. Hear how TBTL (and subsequently LRB) tricked our resident baker into giving us so much of her time and attention. Plus, Ann’s favorite clip from TBTL history—the story of one of Jen’s most brazen and cringeworthy lies—is a perennial favorite. Don’t mind the long rambling intro from Bobby. He’s really, really obsessed with that new Janelle Monáe song. Find the original LRB episode here. 

Bobby, Ann and Mike got up nice and early, and have laid claim to enough chairs by the pod pool for all of our P1’s—and more importantly—our P2s to maximize enjoyment of our latest TBTL Week in Review. We don’t care about you BMI, why you got a Saturday JUG, or even how you could blow that call at the buzzer in last week’s big Hooverball match. Bobby is broadcasting from Buffalo, Mike has a huge Stumpodate, and Ann received a package this week that has her equally delighted and horrified. Enjoy! Mike Campbell's Baseball Reference page, as mentioned in Mike's greatest on-field spoof of all time.

At Ann’s behest, Mike and Bobby have watched the first eight episodes of network TV’s lowest-rated (and yet, critically acclaimed) show, the Showtime-castaway-turned-CW-cult favorite Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Fellow CXG fans Meredith and Christy join in to hear the guys’ thoughts on the show, and to tell them why they are wrong. Kidding! (Sort of.) Can entertaining musical numbers and a surprisingly thoughtful (and hilarious) look at mental illness overcome modest scripting and an awful title?* Did the ladies successfully poke the bear? Can we all get a little White Josh in our lives? Tune in to find out while you wait for this Supernatural marathon to end so you can watch something called Arrow. *If Andrew keeps singing, this could be a reasonable question about TBTL, too Bonus links: Here's the song about urinary tract infections that we argued about, and here's Rachel Bloom’s ode to Ray Bradbury (NSFW!)

It was a busy week on TBTL of stock talk, fantastic guests, and a lot of voicemails. It took three tries, but we finally got our long-promised email frenzy (Andrew only had to get rid of Luke to do it). Your LRB crew of Ann, Meredith, and Mike are here to reflect on personal fashion choices (both then and now), decide that Facebook quizzes are an exercise in self-satisfaction, and reset the Joe-Joes history clock. Luke’s pronunciation of “po’boy” takes us on a journey through the theater of the mind, while in the LRB Movie Corner we wonder if Black Panther can live up to the impossible expectations (we hope so, but probably not?). In his latest Stumpdate, Mike’s facing a dilemma that challenges his unfavorable opinion of short men. Ann has a hot take on the Oxford comma. Meredith makes the most of her fidget time. Plus, our unironic admiration for Richard Marx.

It’s time to hang some lights and get the scenery out of storage, because we’re here to celebrate the premiere acting troupe of TBTL: The TBTL Players. In this episode: a Very Special clip from a 90’s tween favorite, Sean’s … interesting … vocal choices, the “best worst line ever,” and tour de force sound effects. Meredith and Ann discover yet another thing they have in common, while Christy thinks she’s discovered where Lin-Manuel Miranda REALLY found the idea for Hamilton. We also ask an important question: why are we so concerned with the box to the left? Plus, a visit from some special guests. Harrumph!

You shave the mice and we’ll grab the fries—it’s time to tackle a supersized week of tangents in our latest TBTL Week in Review. Mike “Pastry Pups” Frizzell, Bobby “Debt Payer” Pape and Meredith “Probably Conceived on a Waterbed” Van Harn are ready to be a pisces and jam (!)—even though two of them are capricorns—and are determined to keep it tight, not unlike Andrew’s shoulders. When you’re done here, go check out GROUP Podcast, and not just because host Rebecca got us out of a couple of jams, but because it has already gotten way more acclaim than LRB probably ever will.

For the inaugural edition of LRB’s Pop Culture Challenge (think Green Eggs and Ham), football non-fans Meredith and Ann watched the Super Bowl, and share their thoughts with resident mansplainers Bobby and Mike. Of our lady scientists, who couldn’t manage to stay awake for the whole game? And who thinks baseball is more arousing than football? You’ll have to listen to find out. One thing is, however, universal: ball-handling talk is always funny. Plus, Mike has controversial hot takes on both Justin Timberlake and the Belichick sleeveless hoodie look, and Bobby wants a little more protection before he does any teabag jumps. Note: Bobby is editing this one on the fly late Thursday night, so please excuse any small (or huge) audio hiccups. Thanks!

It’s the second week of the TBTL Vanniversary shows, and Mike, Meredith and Ann are ready to break down every single minute, no matter how long it takes. (Sorry about that!) The guys are crisscrossing the state in the van, and while we go along on the journey we lay down some rules for sexytimes, debate how we would behave in the event of an actual airline disaster, and say goodbye to a good friend. Meredith explains how Apple is ruining her social life, Ann is delighted by Sean’s snore-collection theory, and Mike pays tribute to American hero Eagle Eagleson. Most importantly, we let Rudy know, in true Good Will Hunting fashion, that it’s not her fault.

Hot off her call on the TBTL Vaniversary Special, Lauren in Jacksonville returns to LRB to tell Bobby about Love is Love, a new book she helped create celebrating same-sex marriage, and the industry allies who help make it possible—pre-order it now on Amazon using this handy LRB referral link—as well as her day job in the world of janitorial supply. Then, we go back to a TBTL radio days classic by way of a May 2015 episode of LRB, when Lauren, Christy and Mike listened to Katie Sprenger’s infamous tips for shopping at Ross Dress for Less. PYGO yo life!

We’re 12 hours, several smoked meatsnacks and one long flight delay into the TBTL 10th Vaniversary marathon episodes, and Mike, Bobby and Ann are ready to air things out a bit. If you couldn’t make it through this week’s extra-long shows don’t despair; our recap will be more helpful than a grocery-bagging training video and a well-timed cortisone shot. Plus, Ann apologizes unnecessarily, Bobby (still) owes the BosTens $40, and Mike hates being white.

It was a long, fun, exhausting weekend in Seattle (the Bay City), so Bobby, Christy, and Ann are gathered to conduct a postmortem on the TBTL 10th Vanniversary show. We get into all the hijinks that happened before, during, and after, from the pre-show brewery meetup to the post-show karaoke madness and everything in between. Along the way we reflect on the real magic of TBTL: the people we met and the friends we made. We’re not crying, we swear - it’s just raining on our faces. Plus, Christy Has Questions and we need your voicemails!

Like most Tens, Meredith and Mike were on the outside looking in for the 10th Anniversary celebration. But don't worry. They rallied, rented a Dodge Caravan, loaded up a guest host (Mike Farnan) and three angry cats for a rollicking recap of a week low on content but high on anxiety. Grab some chips because beef jerky won't be enough to absorb all of the FOMO. Remember to dab your sneezes and don't let the landlord disturb you, poop shower on your downstairs neighbor's head be damned. And always put your best foot/stump (sorry Frizz) forward when setting up a contest (not a contest) to attract new listeners. M&M&M took a chunk of their weekend to discreetly hand you a thumb drive of LRB and make your Monday almost as satisfying as a deep discount on your IKEA latte. This TBTL week in review recaps episodes 2555 (listener cover songs, Luke’s stolen backpack, Andrew drank too much, pizza volume problems), 2556 (live show stress, live show prep, Greenlake showers, live show strategy, baby Luke sleeps hooked to a fence), 2557 (meditation apps, commercials, Scotty Brown’s, tip talk, stifling sneezes, baseball cap OPP), 2558 (plumbing problems, cuddling, not-a-contest new listener challenge, slave analogy, pastrami-loving animal doctor), 2559 (What The Hell is TBTL, inside-joke explainers, Susie Burbank’s new podcast “Deal With It”, shame eating). 

Everybody find your cool hat, because we’re heading to a hip party. A dinner party, that is. Ann and Christy dive into some memorable TBTL clips concerning awkward dinner parties, including a truly cringe-inducing Jen Andrews story where we try to decide whether Jason is the hero or the villain, a typically Burbankian spur-of-the-moment plan that has some unforeseen complications, a strange brag that has everyone (involved!) scratching their heads, and a fantastic story from listener Sam of what turns out to be a dinner party of a different sort. Plus, we share the perils of having a super social partner, secret weapons to get out of an awkward situation, a story of an uncomfortable encounter with an Italian man (not the good kind), and how we learned that Yemen is a country. And while it may seem otherwise, we really are having a good time at your party - we’ll just be over in the corner, not talking. Youthful Burbank out!

Turn down the CVS Bangers and turn up Little Red Bandwagon, the ambitious but questionable podcast would be significantly less interesting if Frank Shiers had managed to regroup in 2008. In addition to our latest TBTL Week in Review, Mike defends eagles, Bobby defends free samples, and Ann once again defends human decency vis-à-vis sewing scissors. Plus, we debut our newest segment, the LRB Pop Culture Challenge! RIP listener Kalena, who lolololololed to death when she heard Luke was going to start reading emails from listeners. She will be missed.

It’s been a few months since the last time we looked through all of the things you bought through littleredbandwagon.com/amazon, and uh … apparently you’re all on your grind now. You serve a lot of coffee. And one of you loves both Justin Bieber and oral hygiene. Oh, also, one of you is waging war on a serious personal itch. Sorry about that. All that plus: Christy’s regretful (and sweaty) tale of two refrigerators, Ann’s (excellent) idea for a new LRB segment, and some big news from Bobby.

It was a great week of TBTL, with guests Nick “Self-Proclaimed Psychopath” Jarin and Phyllis “Urban Dictionary” Fletcher joining the guys, and Mike, Meredith and Ann are ready to break down everything that happened. Along the way, we settle on a new nickname for Meredith, discuss how to know when to leave an “escape room” party immediately, lay down some ice cream cone law, and find out that both our lady scientists are terrible pen pals (and possibly also terrible people). As a bonus, we give our own answers to this week’s Hey Dummies question about celebrity navigation voices. Plus, the ongoing fabric scissors controversy threatens to split our hosts apart, and Mike has a strange Sting-related episode during the show that has us slightly concerned.

It may be 2018, but LRB’s year-end navel-gazing needed a little more time thanks to listeners (and Ann) suggesting so many great clips. Join Mike and Bobby as we explore a loose theme of “girls rule, boys drool,” not by design, but just because that’s what the evidence bears out. The LRB ladies defend science and decency; Mike opens meat with sewing scissors and inadvertently wins (or, loses) a wet white-shorts contest. And as a bonus, a time Bobby got put through an emotional wringer. But at least no one has chlamydia!

Happy new year! This week’s episodes of TBTL brought tears of (mostly) joy to our misaligned glass eyes. Ann is back from LA, and successfully avoided taking a bite of her adorable nephew who definitely isn’t a corndog. Bobby is remembering a pile of quarters he tried to launder figuratively at a literal laundromat. Meredith is starting a new chapter of her life, for some reason in Detroit. And Mike is riding one of his bikes, and then another, and then another past a cute girl’s house, because it’s either this, or dropping his pants again. We didn’t set out to talk about our own regrets this week, but a few slipped out anyway. Enjoy!

In the spirit of TBTL’s ending the year with an airing of personal regrets, we thought we’d join in! But then we remembered that we don’t have any regrets. So instead, here’s one of our favorite clip shows from 2017 all about times when our usually lovable TBTL hosts let the Big Dog out, with plenty of regret to go around. Enjoy! Our original synopsis from July 21, 2017: #239: Fifty cents and a frowny face Step on up to the bar, order a shot and a beer from the tough-as-nails lady wearing the cat sweatshirt, and get ready to embrace your rage, because this month’s clip show is all about the Big Dog. Luke is famous for his temper, so Ann and Christy are here to share some memorable TBTL times when things got … a little heated. Mostly, we try to answer the question, ‘Is Luke a jerk, or the best friend ever?’ Along the way, we break down the original Big Dog story, critique Andrew’s handling of a difficult bartender, and agree that Luke will probably never get a job with the Seattle Bureau of Tourism. Plus, Christy’s dad started an “extreme counseling” business (it involves non-contact taekwondo), and it’s kind of awesome. Here’s a handy list of what we learned: 1) It’s probably not about you 2) When The Mummy is the voice of reason, something has gone terribly wrong 3) Don’t awaken Christy’s righteous fury unless you want your tires slashed 4) NEVER TOUCH THE BOUNCER

It’s time for the second in an occasional series of LRB Best Of clip shows, and this time Christy and Mike are getting together to talk about some memorable moments from everybody’s favorite* LRB host, Ann. We’ve got a trilogy of rants that include two different types of fingers, a “toilet seat too far”, a voice crush that led to us getting in trouble with Luke, and an impromptu commercial read that Mike insists stole his comedic voice. Plus, we finally find out how he really feels about Ann’s dreamcatcher. *Ann feels extremely embarrassed to be writing this about herself, because it’s definitely not true

Join the entire LRB gang—including Phyllis!—for the 2017 edition of Little Red Bandwagon’s Very Special Christmas Special. From M&Ms to mac & cheese and apparel to (ahem) adult items, this year’s Secret Santa will keep you guessing to the end, or even longer if you’re Mike. Plus, hear how Ann’s co-workers rallied for an “It’s a Wonderful Life” moment, minus the almost-suicide part. It may only be tangentially related to TBTL, but we promise it’s fun, and there’s room for everyone. Note: There is some adult-themed content in this episode, thanks mostly to Jeremy. This is why we can’t have nice things. Happy holidays!

It was a crowded week of Entitled Etiquette, mourning dive bars, and sea urchin (in a really mushroom-y sauce), so TBTL power commenters Mike, Ann, and Christy have geared up in ¾ length, slightly-too-small running pants (that make our butts look amazing), to break it all down for you. Along the way, we develop a new dating app, debate chocolate croissants vs raisin rolls, and agree that the Mortgage Professor probably doesn’t understand his shortcomings. Mike’s making 2001: A Space Odyssey references and Christy reminisces over a vehicle that was a magnet for suicidal animals, while Ann semi-meanly points out her latest pronunciation pet peeve. But no matter what any imminent Executive order may say, please remember that we can’t let the Pantone terrorists win.

“You cannot sing ‘parum pum pum pum’ and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.” It’s the holiday season, so we thought we’d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians – you’re welcome, too!). Christy and Ann are ready to share their thoughts on everything from loud ringing bells to NORAD’s Santa Watch. Luke’s obsession with Christmas music leads us into a long discussion of our own likes and dislikes. Jen is once again proven to be our spirit animal. The story of Luke’s first adult Christmas makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Ann spreads a family story that we’re sure her brother will appreciate. Plus, nativity shenanigans, problematic cookie exchanges, and two wonderful traditions in the Wise family. And we discover a shocking fact about Zac Efron that makes us feel better about our impending mortality. P.S. Sorry this show is so long, but it’s mostly because we put a massive bonus clip at the end that we couldn’t bear to leave out. Also, we talked a lot.

Fueled by snacks from Philly (thanks Bob!), Bobby, Ann and Mike recap the latest week of TBTL, including Monday’s three-hour leviathon, Luke’s half-words, Andrew “The Human Blanket” and more . Plus, Bobby brings a drug-fueled Cup-date, Mike explains how those Twig & Berries mattresses get you, and Ann googles “Smug Wendy” so you don’t have to. (Really, don’t do it. At least not at work.)

Ann and Bobby kick off LRB’s December to Podmember with a cornucopia of clips from LRB past that are even more satisfying than a six-course soccer snack and a side of mystery dairy. We’ve got one of our Phyllis phaves, an Aaron who was naughty, an Aaron who was nice, a mile-high Meredith and a couple clips of Mike. And of course, dazzling interstitial commentary we know you’ll like. Enjoy!

We know you’re enjoying that smooth repaved highway, but turn down C2C and turn up LRB, because Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Mike are defending the honor of quartets everywhere with a TBTL Week in Review covering almost as many topics as Tim Allen has Christmas movies. On one hand, there’s some serious talk about Luke and Andrew’s serious talk about the long overdue hard rain of truth finally taking down prominent predators. On the other hand, there’s a mad pooper on the loose outside Buffalo. Not to mention, Meredith has a pupdate, Bobby has a story, Mike has hired Jackie Chiles, and Ann has some concise words for Garrison Keillor, one of many men who probably would benefit from watching this video. Oh, and sorry about your house, but you probably shouldn’t have asked us to do everyone’s dishes.  

For her Phinal Phyllis Phave Phriday, Phyllis Fletcher joins Mike for a listen back to times when alleged “woo girl” Jen Flash Andrews was thrown out of restaurants, and in one instance, given up by a tell-tale pen. Mike shares some of his  own delinquent dining behavior through the years (with apologies to Hoagy’s Corner), and hits Fletch with one more round of his patent-pending gotcha segment, While We Have You. Remember: Proceed with caution when retrieving your ill-gotten 100 Grand Bar from Bill Radke’s bathrobe pocket. You have been warned. This episode features TBTL clips from the third hour of Feb. 3, 2009, and the third hour of April 3, 2009.

Happy Thanksgiving, Wagoneers! You’re all welcome around our post-holiday table, even if you think casseroles are gross and you’re afraid to eat the onion ice cream. Pull a bag of jerky out of your fanny pack and we’ll get down to business; just don’t accept a cup of Kryptonite coffee from Meredith, okay? Luke’s been skateboarding in the airport. Again. Is it bad of us to be hoping, at this point, for a small disaster? We discuss TBTL’s participation in this year’s Podcrawl, and one of us has a surprising depth of knowledge about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Additionally, Mama Stamberg’s cranberry relish undergoes the LRB test, we agree that Andrew probably shouldn’t call himself The Bone Collector (seriously, have you seen the movie??), and then wonder how long it might be until Luke’s scalp falls off due to his laser baldness products. In host news, Mike’s going after Big Pharma to the tune of one hundo a day, five hundo a week. Meredith shares a cat fact that will melt your heart. Ann wants everyone to listen to Done Disappeared: A True Crime Podcast by John David Booter immediately. Just do it, okay? Also, we wish you a Happy Sex Day, however you may celebrate.

Gather ‘round the dining-pod table as Ann, Bobby, Christy, Meredith and Mike share what they’re thankful for in this Very Special LRB Thanksgiving Special. From family, friends, babies and orthopedists to Netflix, M&Ms, 6ft (or 9ft) iPhone cables and much more—plus, of course, our listeners—we have plenty to talk about this year.

Don’t mind Mike, Ann and Bobby—they’re just here recapping the latest week of TBTL until your friends return, and awkwardly ask for their spots back. Until then, feel free to fastpod this episode at any speed you like, as long as you laugh at all the spoofs, and stay tuned after for the series premiere of The Eagle & The Cowboy. (Better yet, once you’re done, go listen to GROUP podcast, and order a DropMix for someone you love.) Plus, Bobby designed a T-shirt, Ann loved Lisbon, Christy is a snackspreader, Mike has a few words for creepy old dudes, and we’re glad Andrew is more or less OK, but that doesn’t mean we care about some things he drew in 2013.

“This is what happens when I do this on Percocet.” –Christy Wise Our TBTL friends spend so much time telling “hot dog stories” that we decided it’s high time to talk about the actual thing, and thus we bring you a show with stories about hot dogs. First, we talk about our own relationship with encased protein products: when vegetarian Christy gets drunk, her evening often includes “street meats”, while Ann is philosophically opposed to “roller meats”. Luke once made a terrible drunken decision at the Hollywood Park Casino, which leads to a somewhat disturbing conversation about floor food in the restaurant industry. Andrew tells the original hot dog story, which isn’t as long as we remembered. We discuss possible shape re-designs for child choking hazards and plot a possible takeover of Big Bun. Somewhat ironically, our show about hot dogs is full of hot dog story-type tangents. We end up talking about surprise bra snacks, canned pasta-influenced shameber foods, The Mummy’s possible arrest record, Skittles, the ongoing allure of the Ryan Gosling movie Drive, and childhood babysitter trauma (Stephanie knows what she did).

If Luke and Andrew are the Bud Lights of the Third Coast Craft Cocktail Conference, and Bobby, Mike and Christy like TBTL, does that make Little Red Bandwagon the Andrew of podcasts about a podcast? Chew on that like a ball of salad on the good side of your mouth washed down with some “wine product” while we break down your latest week of TBTL, catch up with the Nice Lady, join Mike on a Shark Tank™ shopping spree, remember Bobby’s favorite SNL commercial of all time, listen to an audio postcard from Portugal. The Ann, and more. Remember: LRB holiday merch (that looks a lot like our regular merch) is on sale now, and more is on the way! Have an idea for new merch? Send it our way!

Someday a hard (?) rain is going to come and wash all the scum off these lanes. Until then, join Bobby, Mike and Buffalo Ten and pastry chef Bet McIlreath for a listen back to the summer day in 2016 when Andrew “Hard Rain” Walsh and guest co-host / adventure buddy Phyllis “Edna” Fletcher hit the road to record an afternoon of bowling and pull tabs at Kenmore Lanes. Plus, why A Tale of Two Cities is one of Bet’s favorite Simpsons episodes, why Buffalo is one of Bobby’s favorite places, why Andrew Zimmern says you can Go Fork Yourself, and why Mike might need a little privacy with a Beef on Weck from Schwabl’s. You’re driving and the clutch is blown, but don’t worry—it’s mostly flat. Yes, this is a long one. But we couldn’t imagine cutting down this classic episode of TBTL from Aug. 10, 2016, so you’re getting the whole thing.

Join Meredith, Ann and Bobby for your latest TBTL Week in Review as soon as we’re done following chalk messages and spooky signs up a long side street and driveway to a foggy house promising full-size candy bars. What could go wrong? Plus, Meredith is going to Michigan! (In her new car!) Ann is going to Portugal! (Somewhat spontaneously!) Bobby is going to take a nap! (Because he earned it!) And, is TV’s Chris Hayes gaslighting us? (Probably.)

Through the magic of advanced planning, Phyllis Fletcher joins Bobby for a listen back to a pair of Luke’s cringeworthy stories from 2009. Between the awkward phone call from his alleged fiancée’s best friend, to the woman who insisted on helping him pay for some Dick’s, these gems from the radio days will really make you think about the perception of people around you, and that moment in time when the truth sets in. Not to be outdone, Bobby shares his own pregnant pause, and we break down the perils of a casual dress code.

It’s another silly/serious episode today at the LRB. On the silly side, Mike, Meredith, and Ann discuss hippo avoidance tactics, our new show sponsor, and the disturbing, yet effective, motivational methods employed by our fantasy Browns head coach. Mike feels that his anti-straw stance has been vindicated. Meredith is still waiting on her check from the New Zealand National Party. Luke may turn Ann into a football fan against her will. On a more serious note, the teeth whitening debacle leads to some Real Talk about the state of the show and how the guys may be their own worst enemies. Plus, bonus commentary from Link, which is as serious as it gets.

It’s Franzia Friday at the Little Red Bandwagon, as Brooklyn Ten Felicia Powell joins Ann and Meredith to talk about everything from politics to local bovine news coverage.  Felicia shares how she got bait-and-switched into the world of TBTL, and why she wrote an email to them that continues to have a big impact to this day. Plus, she teaches us an important fact about our constitutional right (or lack thereof) to vote. Then we refill our wine glasses and listen back to the time Jen convinced Luke and Andrew to try recreating the 4th Hour of NBC’s Today Show without ever having watched it. Luke makes a disturbingly convincing Kathie Lee Gifford, while Andrew’s best attempts to produce competent segments only serve to highlight his endearing cluelessness. If we all agree on one thing, though, it’s that Usher is totally dreamy.

Bobby the Godfather, Mile High Meredith and possible Dirty John victim Mike have turned down the Lincoln Bizkit, cranked up the Kidz Bop and Wagoneers’ Foreigner cover bands, and slathered themselves all over your latest TBTL Week in Review with enough Trucktober hot takes to carry us all the way into Trarch. (We’ll still keep putting out shows though.)  Mike has a theory about Andrew’s childhood “friend,” Meredith answers the Lady Scientist Bat Signal, and Bobby didn’t chew the ear off of a certain celebrity on his flight, but he did try out the $20 sandwich trick at his hotel.  This episode is made possible in part by: Cheesy Blasters™—just like Grandma used to make! Power Pose Regrowitron—shrink your bald spot? And listeners like you. Thank you.

Hey, can we buy you a shot? How about you? C’mon, have one with us! On this month’s clip show, the topic is the intersection of TBTL and alcohol (let’s call it Part One of a multi-part series…). Here to guide you on this voyage of discovery are Christy and Ann, who are perhaps the two members of the LRB crew least qualified to talk about the subject. Regardless, we shake our heads over the time Luke did a swan dive off the little red wagon, debate attending a hipster bouncy house party, discuss being faced with a shockingly high bar tab, and ponder whether we would eat the pickle (NOT a euphemism). Plus, Christy may be responsible for Luke’s infamous nose injury, and Ann naively thought that casinos would be closed on high holy holidays. Oh, and we make a firm statement that it’s perfectly acceptable to disappear if The Mummy tries to boner roll you.

Grab your Beef 'n Cheddar(s), a slice of fresh pie and a side of Szechuan sauce, because it’s a TBTL Week in Review buffet, and we’re serving up a little bit of everything. Everything, that is, except Bobby’s post-vacation tan, Mike’s hot take on straws, and Ann’s feelings about a pubescent Luke’s one-sided relationship with Morganna the Kissing Bandit. It’s probably for the best we’re skipping those. That said, there’s still plenty to enjoy, including decidedly uncool skateboard skyjinx, tipping talk two ways (hotels and wheelchairs!), a disturbing lack of science (aside from Ann, of course) and much, much more. This episode has so many topics crammed in it, you’ll think it was produced by a sheepish trap music-loving dental hygienist.

Despite our very best efforts, the whims of fate prevented us from bringing you an all-new Ten interview episode. After we finished banging our heads on the desk and cursing the USPS, we dug around in the LRB archives and found this fun little gem of an interview that we think deserves a re-listen. Join Christy, Meredith, and listener Treasure as they talk about a certain seasonal trend that’s gone a bit overboard, as well as the time Jen Flash Andrews hosted a Gathering of the Kates (which is kind of like a Gathering of the Juggalos, but not really). This Friday episode of Little Red Bandwagon was originally released on October 23rd, 2015 as Episode #57: Many Things to Many Kates.

It’s late and we’re tired, so Mike, Meredith, and Ann have gathered at the local Jalapeños for a plate of old-fashioned nachos and some friendly bar chat about the charms of the Church Lady, how to feel your feelings in the face of tragedy, and the world of collectible bedpans. Ann’s been reading up on the history of Presidential assassination attempts, Meredith has some thoughts about why Andrew could be scratching inside his ear, and Mike makes himself (and us) cry. Then we spend far too much time trying to work out the logistics of our Back to the Future money-winning strategies. Plus, bingo winners!

Deep in the depths of both their souls and an undisclosed downstairs half-bath, unabashed 90 Day Fiancé fan Phyllis Fletcher joins Nice Lady Christy Wise on a trip down to the Shameber, where Luke stalks an old on-air co-host, Jen imitates a supercool indie-rocker, and Sean watches the Wayans brothers in whiteface. Don’t worry, there’s enough Torchy’s queso and syrup-soaked hot dog buns for everyone.

Bobby, Ann and Meredith have finished sorting the human, dog and floor towels (don’t ask about the hand towels) and are more or less ready for your latest TBTL Week in Review. Although, honestly, Bobby is losing his voice, Ann is full of cinnamon rolls (“they’re not poison”), and Meredith is reflecting on “a sad song about municipal failures.” Looking on the bright side, we have four-week-old Wagoneer Brennan’s TBTL/LRB Top Ten List! And also, apparently Houston is fixed? It’s not too late to sign up to play TBTL Bingo! Email [email protected] to get your bingo card now.

Note: The first version of this episode we put in your feed cut off early. Sorry! This is the corrected version, with 12 more minutes of podcast gold at the end. If you listened to the first version, jump ahead to about the 44-minute mark to catch the end. He may say he hates music, but the tape says otherwise. For this special Fifth Friday edition of the show, listen back with us to the time a few months (and one foot) ago when Mike Frizzell appeared on our sister podcast, Earbuds & Earworms, to “defend his iPod” with E&E’s Amy Shepherd. (Figuratively, that is, because neither of them uses an actual iPod anymore.) “It was like watching Teletubbies, but with sexy people.”  —Mike 

This week, Mike and Ann are joined by LRB’s favorite accordion enthusiast and Appalachian clogger Bob Stein. After Mike and Bob compare their summers (Bob’s was better), we hold the ceremonial unboxing of a Wagon Full of Loot. Then, we dive into the recap of last week’s TBTL, which may or may not have been swass, depending on which definition you want to use. We come up with a new, more useful hurricane-naming system, introduce a new segment called, “Old Man Stein Yells at Clouds”, and elaborate on the perils of telling someone they look like Bobby Hill. Mike knows the real reason we hit the snooze button on World War III, and Ann is forced to use the term “fecal material” far too many times. Plus, Bob floats an Up with People conspiracy theory for the ages.

Get your potato salad ready, because buttery smooth-voiced RenTen Sean Vale joins Bobby and Ann for a TBTL favorite, Jen Flash Andrew’s first encounter with The Man from Dixie’s BBQ—$15 worth of pain that would make George Mallory proud. Plus, you know that thing where you're on vacation and think, “gosh, I’d really love to live here?” Sean did that (in Thailand, not Renton) and tells us all about it, including the time he yelled “Luke, pull up! Pull up!” in the ear of a motorcycle taxi driver in Bangkok. When you’re done, check out Tiny Kitchen Cooking with Sean’s husband Ahn, order your ketoconazole shampoo on Amazon, and clean that PB&J off your face, at least, after the pain finally goes away. This episode looks back to hour 2 of TBTL from July 17, 2008. 

Tetrahedron clusters Ann and Bobby are flanking special guest host Mike Farnan (our backup Mike F.) for your latest LRB Week in Review, right after we finish shoving in 30-year-old Bernie Kosar breaking news coverage, feasting on kielbasi and sauna meatballs, and avoiding that giant, vicious, vengeful fish. (Just kidding, we promise, on at least one of those.) Plus: Just a minute, Ron! Mike and Bobby both have stories about the movie Captain Ron, and Ann used to keep a knife in the bathroom, for emergencies. Remember, if you need a little private time, there’s always the bathroom on the third floor of the UW Communications Building, if you don’t mind getting sweaty and nostalgic. Here’s Aziz Ansari’s 50 Cent grapefruit soda story. We’ll add a link to the forthcoming Four-Minute Workweek as soon as it’s available.

In this month’s clip show, Ann and Christy are back for a second round of the TBTL terms and phrases that captured our imaginations over the years. Along the way we discuss mid-nineties nautical movies, the story of Christy’s very own Overboard cruise experience, ways to tell your friends and family you’re having digestion issues, the best unit of time ever, how Luke invented a word (no, not ‘gaymazing’), and take a detour into a discussion about the MochaLatta Chill. Some of these terms even affected our lives: a TBTL vocabulary mystery helped Christy solve a problem at work, and the show has been a primer on functional alcoholism for Ann. Plus, we expand our knowledge of the Jerkington family tree. Be sure to listen all the way to the end of the show to find out whether Ann fires Christy. P.S. In case you wanted to know, Alec Baldwin’s three hopes for 2009 were: 1) Slumdog Millionaire wins the Oscar, 2) the auto industry continues to work on fuel efficient cars, 3) there won’t be a SAG strike.

Special guest and lady social-scientist Ellen “Kenny G” Middaugh returns (see ep. 193) to help Bobby, Meredith and Ann break down the latest week of TBTL from Bud Light to bird feeder, and every disgusting and insecurity-laden step between. Ann pilots the Millennial Falcon through a Kessler Run of corrections, Meredith brings the facts on pesticides and silk pillowcases, Bobby made his very own batch of Ooey Gooey Tar Bars thanks to a recipe from Ann’s Aunt Carroll, and Ellen doesn’t hate when Andrew jacks up the reverb, but we let her stay anyway. (One thing we do all agree on? The more Carey Burbank on TBTL, the better.) Plus, another anecdote about why plungers should be mandatory, and the surprisingly Southern sound of Ann’s sensibilities being shaken.

Our show plan for this episode was foiled by the whims of a US government agency, so Ann, Christy, and Bobby decide to take some time to design a new LRB game/contest. Hey, if Luke and Andrew can do show planning “on-air”, so can we. Get your daubers out, because we’re playing bingo! TBTL bingo, that is. Everyone’s welcome to play – just send an email to [email protected] and you’re in like Flynn. In true crowdsourcing fashion, we want Wagoneer input on which TBTL terms, phrases, or concepts should get a square, so hit us up with your ideas. This is going to be fun: imagine listening to TBTL and crossing your fingers in the hope that Luke will talk about his diet grind, because it’s THE LAST SQUARE you need (kidding – you know we’re going to fill in that square during the first five minutes of the Monday show, right?). Additionally, we finally take some time to examine our Amazon purchases list with the care and attention it deserves. You guys have been buying some seriously interesting stuff, and we want to celebrate your interests and take a tiny peek into your (safely anonymized) lives. As always, our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who supports us by using our Amazon affiliate link when purchasing things from The Company Slowly Taking Over The World. The pennies we get add up to some serious jam money! If you’d like to help us out, just use littleredbandwagon.com/amazon as your shopping portal.

Bobby, Ann and Meredith get an earlier-than-usual, reverb-free jump on the TBTL Week in Review so Meredith can help with Harvey relief efforts—if she can pass a background check. (If not, we’ll just get her to lead a rosé-fueled yoga class instead.) Thankfully, that’ll give Ann more time to find the perfect place to hang her recockulous mother-and-corndog/child portrait, and Bobby more time to giggle about Ann’s package. We have all sorts of things we think you should buy this week, including Ex-officio underwear (even though it can’t vote), communion wafers (ideally with Nutella) and Quilted Northern (because you don’t settle). Really though, buy anything you want as long as you do it at littleredbandwagon.com/amazon.

Take out your Bluetooth® and adjust your tone, sir, because it’s time to sit and politely listen to LRB’s latest Phirst Phriday Phyllis Phave Edition! Phyllis joins Bobby for a listen back to two clips from September 2008 when Jen’s resolve to be the change (in manners) she wants to see in the world is put to the test, would-be Azteca appetizer-scammers be damned. Plus, Phyllis gives us the bittersweet low down on her SUPER EXCITING NEW JOB as National Public Radio’s newest bureau chief, a gig that will only be a stepping stone to an on-air national host position if Bobby’s scheme works. She also told the folks over at After These Messages (never heard of it) about it this week, if you’re into that kind of thing. While you’re listening, be sure to go connect with (link with?) Phyllis on LinkedIn, and endorse her for stuff. That way in a few years she’ll have a faint memory of us little guys she left in the pod-dust.

After last week’s excitement at the LRB picnic, your hosts are all happy to be back in our home studios. Despite all the traveling we’ve done recently, we’re confident that nobody on this podcast rode their skateboard through the Haggens’ parking lot, or got crunched by a seat recliner on the plane, or took out a planter with their vehicle (actually, scratch that last one).  We’ve got your latest TBTL week in review, and boy, do we have questions. Ann wants to know if men are really that afraid of getting in trouble with their partner, Mike wants to know the mechanics of butt-dialing someone, and Meredith wants to know how long she’s going to have to continue defending ICP. In addition to addressing these important queries, we discuss parking in Texas, puzzle over whether tonight pants are for sleeping in, and plan an extravagant Chick-fil-A/hotdog bar wedding. And Mike makes a shocking scissors-related confession.

What, you think Luke and Andrew are the only ones who can record on a boat? Join Bobby, Ann, Meredith, Christy, special guests and at least one child we would later find out was an unintentional stowaway for a listen back to the sounds of the LRB Summer Picnic on August 18th! We’ve got clips from many super Wagoneers (and a few confused 11s) who braved Seattle traffic, parking lot RV meth labs, and a poorly lit (but well-stocked) snack table to spend some time together, and it was the highlight of our night to talk to them. Well, the second highlight after having our pictures taken with Jack Taylor’s amazing TBTL and LRB displays. Note: Mike has noted all of you who flouted his rules about food, and justice will be swift. We look forward to seeing the survivors at next year’s picnic!

Mike is on the line like Charlie Townsend, corralling Christy, Ann, Meredith and Bobby (Bosley?) who are gathered on the shore of Pipe Lake in beautiful Kent, WA, for a very special 80%-in-person TBTL Week in Review that’s almost as satisfying as a little red wine, a Twix bar and a ESPN 30 for 30 documentary. Between the community chop saw, fast food marketing talk and some dirty clown love (f—ing stereotypes, how do they work?) this episode has something for everyone. Special thanks to Bailey (rippletale on Instagram) for lending us her artistic talent for this episode’s amazing (and copyright-free) show drawing. And also to guest engineer Aidan on the ones and twos for not only keeping us rolling and apologizing (#sorryaidan), but also for putting together a video of our recording session. (It’s amazing how far these kids have come despite having Will for a father.)

This is the show Mike never DREAMED would happen. You might say it’s his worst NIGHTMARE, but we think you shouldn’t SNOOZE in case you miss anything. Okay, okay, we can’t tell you the topic of this show, but we can give you a preview of just a few of the things Christy and Ann talk about in it. There’s an extended conversation about the sexiness (or not) of Kevin Costner. Also, a reference to a “river of cheese thoughts”, an earnest desire to try space fajitas, and the question of whether men and women are equally insane. And Ann finally has her wish granted. You might CATCH yourself laughing along with us; we certainly hope it won’t SNORE you to tears.

It’s a special all-ladies recap, and Christy, Meredith and Ann are here with the hot topics and cool takes on the most recent week of TBTL. Luke made the false assumption that you can have too many desserts at a potluck, Andrew made the false assumption that everyone will appreciate medium rare burgers at his cookout, and we made the false assumption that the guys wouldn’t need to spend 20 minutes talking about the alphabet when coming up with this year’s TBTL picnic food assignments. Additional topics on today’s show: pronunciation hypocrisy, what the actual purpose of the driverless car study was, the problems with living in a lighthouse on Lake Huron during the winter, and the atrocity committed by Meredith’s onetime dinner guest on a perfectly good piece of meat. Plus, Christy makes it clear why she’ll never have an heirloom sponge collection.

Gold star archivist and our #1 favorite Jeremy (Jeremy Auer) joins Christy and her 6th-favorite co-host (Bobby) from Gresham, Oregon—Underground Poker Capital of the World™—for a listen back to the time Luke, Andrew and guest Lynn Shelton discussed bad customer service (and bad customers) (Luke) instead of talking about her latest film. In addition to our own job worsts and firsts, we explore why Jeremy (AKA helvetica.carabeaner) studied landscape architecture, has science-splained Luke and Andrew multiple times, and manages the only tumblr in Christy’s feed that’s not porn. This episode listens back to TBTL episode 1427 from Sept. 13, 2013, and you should go listen to the whole thing.

Live from the Bucking Beaver Bar, Bobby, Ann and Meredith recap the second week of Andrew at the helm of TBTL, and his Build Your Own Guest Host Grand Slam of Ders, Bean and Phyllis has us more excited than a couple of Cracker Ballers on their way to a grand opening ribbon cutting. Plus, Bobby needs a grandson, Ann’s hair is a crow magnet, and Meredith googled “Diplo potato” so you don’t have to. When you’re done with this episode, go Push Trump Off A Cliff Again, but only after you’ve ordered your Greenteeth McBaldy-approved DIY dental kit.

Pour a tall chalice of gin & juice and relax into your gangster lean as we flash back to August 2008, when Luke flashed back to November 2001, when, for $5, he inadvertently accepted a standup gig at a pimp convention. HistoriTens: Which brother was harder for Luke to follow? The warmup act at the Oregon Bankers' Association about a decade later, or the pimp convention emcee Mr. Mookie? Which was the tougher crowd: Squares at a corporate gig, or pimps and hoes? Does Luke fail harder on the theme of being unreasonable in unreasonable times, or "what's up with white people?" Well, only one of these events was recorded as far as we know, so we'll hear 25-year-old Luke live onstage from the (formerly Best) Western Hotel in Tacoma. Christy and Phyllis fall into the credibility gap with this TBTL gem from the radio days. This episode features a clip from August 1, 2008, Hour 2 of TBTL.

It’s a love fest over at the LRB! Even though Luke’s on vacation, a week of delightful guest hosts and great content has left Bobby, Meredith, and Ann with more put-ups than we know what to do with. We try to figure out if someone’s trolling Andrew over the Wallingford Parking Wars (it wasn’t us, honest!), take a surprisingly melancholy walk down memory lane, and ponder whose job it should have been to tell Michael Jordan he needed to lose the Hitler mustache. We also share our answers for this week’s Questions of the Day, including a heaping helping of Sandwich Talk and which chores we want our genie-wizard to take off our hands. In LRB host news, Bobby’s up in Canada developing his new podcast BrockMore (about the Hank Azaria series Brockmire), Meredith’s back from crisscrossing the country to visit her old stomping grounds, and Ann’s preparing her Frank Sinatra Filibuster, which is not a dessert, but sounds like it should be. Speaking of dessert, stick around to the end of the show to hear us mount a defense of the perfect pie.

With Luke on vacation this week and Song of the Shambles well underway, we at LRB decided: You could use a little Burbank in your life. Some fun music talk wouldn’t hurt. We deserve a break, too. So, join Bobby and special guest-host Amy from the Earbuds & Earworms Podcast for a trip into the LRB Archives for a chat from way back in 2015 with perhaps our favorite Burbank of them all, *David. He brought Mike and Christy the classic radio days segment Defend Yourself: iPod Edition, and our gang got in on the fun back then, too. In 2017, we read a few updates on life from young David before we get to the clip. Also in 2017, both Mike and Phyllis have appeared on E&E to defend their **iPods with Amy. When you’re done listening to this, check those episodes out! *Luke is probably fourth. We’ll let you fill in the rest.**Not technically iPods. But whatever, it’s 2017. Don’t overthink it.

Put down that homemade kombucha, stop chewing on those cotton balls and just sit down on the seat already, because it’s time for an old-fashioned levia-thon of commentary. This week, Ann earns the coveted Purple Carcass for surviving another round of stock talk, Bobby comes up with a scone-based analogy to explain the difference between cement and concrete, and Mike yells a lot for a guy who is getting sick. Plus, would Justin Trudeau use a hotel towel as a pizza napkin? (Ann doesn’t think so, but it might not be a deal-breaker.) Be sure to check out the story from a few years back about cringeworthy sounds featuring one of Bobby’s old friends, and the short film featuring Mike opposite a very talented young actor playing Tommy Wiseau.

Step on up to the bar, order a shot and a beer from the tough-as-nails lady wearing the cat sweatshirt, and get ready to embrace your rage, because this month’s clip show is all about the Big Dog. Luke is famous for his temper, so Ann and Christy are here to share some memorable TBTL times when things got … a little heated. Mostly, we try to answer the question, ‘Is Luke a jerk, or the best friend ever?’ Along the way, we break down the original Big Dog story, critique Andrew’s handling of a difficult bartender, and agree that Luke will probably never get a job with the Seattle Bureau of Tourism. Plus, Christy’s dad started an “extreme counseling” business (it involves non-contact taekwondo), and it’s kind of awesome. Here’s a handy list of what we learned: 1) It’s probably not about you 2) When The Mummy is the voice of reason, something has gone terribly wrong 3) Don’t awaken Christy’s righteous fury unless you want your tires slashed 4) NEVER TOUCH THE BOUNCER   Bonus: Here's the episode of Nerd Out Loud where Christy lost her mind with anger.

Live from a suburban campsite, a childhood bedroom and a pre-Fiesta (TX) home base, Bobby, Meredith and Mike (respectively) dodge the heat and tens of thrown phones while recapping a week of TBTL that included an unexpected picnic announcement, bad sports jargon (including Prince getting some *hm-hmm*) and the official launch of what appears to be the 2017 Song of Luke and Andrew’s Summer Contest. Be sure to listen through to the end for a fresh angle on #buttholegate from Gus and Ellie, the LRB Kids! Let’s just say they took the term … literally.

LA Ten (by way of White Bear Lake, Minn.) Mike Farnan is back, and joins “old” Mike (Frizzell) and the Nice Lady Christy Wise for a listen back to the time Luke thought it was a good idea to eat his weight in green room Boston Market creamed spinach and mashed potatoes before a Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! taping. (Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.) Mike, Mike and Christy also share their own poop stories. (Or, in the case of Christy, the story of a gross friend.) Plus, we get to know more about Farnan, beyond when he’s on the bus, trying to hide a fresh stain on tan pants. There’s actually a lot of interesting non-crap parts to his life, like making movies, and a love of baseball and Detroiters.    Alternate titles for this episode included “Burbanking the Poop” and “Wait Wait … Don’t Poop Yet!” But, we wanted to make sure you’d at least download it first. This episode features a classic clip from TBTL’s Feb. 1, 2010, episode. Special thanks to Linh Pham for helping us source Luke’s WWDTM appearance on 1/30/10, and in general for all his work over at marsupialgurgle.com.

Climb on board, guys – it’s time for another TBTL recap, and Mike, Ann and Meredith are driving the podcast party bus. We’d like to make a stop at the Chicken Window on our way to see the classic Freddie Prinze Jr. movie Summer Catch, but if we see a rat, we’re outta there. Over at LRB Studios, we’re lovingly cradling the shattered remains of our thrown phones as we shed a tear over the apparent disappearance of basic science education. Some doughnuts would make us feel better, but Edith ate them all, so instead you can join us on the porch for some peanuts in the shell washed down with a delicious bacteria frappe. In addition to setting up future guest speakers for the Ex-Con Con, Mike’s seriously running out of patience for airplane talk, and Ann had a mysterious medical issue she wants to talk over with Meredith. Plus, tips on how to beat someone with your junk and a discussion of the wonders of Xanax. You’re more than just a truck friend to us.

Sometimes wet underwear is not your fault. It's not always pee, OK? But sometimes it is. This week Phyllis reports live from Lopez Island, just across from Mike Frizzell's ancestral plot on Mud Bay. Mud Bay would make a serviceable euphemism for a poo pile, and speaking of euphemisms for excretory events, we hear the best TBTL-ism for peeing your pants, first uttered by Jen at Jesus Creek. Plus Luke's poo-reka moment inspires us to recount accidental poo discoveries of our own. Christy "Crap Columbus" Wise, Mike "Magellan of Mud" Frizzell and Phyllis Fletcher, the Fecal de Fuca, on this month's Phyllis Phave edition of Little Red Bandwagon.

Live from our secret hiding spot behind the co-op’s kombucha counter, it’s Little Red Bandwagon! Don’t worry—Bobby, Meredith and Ann aren’t driving, on probation, or negotiating an NFL contract anytime soon. We are, however, intercepting many of your thrown phones as we navigate a recap with more hot takes than a Frank Gehry-inspired metal bowl full of mozzarella and “bee dookie.” Between our resident scientists and a couple of estranged fathers, this week of TBTL was mass good content for some mass good commentary.

In this special Fifth Friday edition of Little Red Bandwagon, Christy, Mike and Bobby peel back the curtain for a wide-ranging round-up of (mostly non-TBTL) topics we’ve been meaning to get to, including but not limited to new LRB merch, the heartfelt (and strategically manipulative) letter Mike wrote to the sellers of the house he and Emily want to buy, why Bobby’s been both busy and emotionally exhausted recently, how we’d like your help in the time-honored tradition of hijacking the Song of the Summer contest, and the final, definitive rules on who should bring what to the LRB Summer Picnic, including why Christy now has to bring Arby’s.  Oh, and did we mention new LRB merch? Remember, just like Fletch taught us: Flatter first; boo-hoo at the bottom.

Hi, pod friendos! Welcome to LRB HQ – doesn’t the yard look great? Since we’re all a bunch of desk monkeys, we had a couple of buff dudes take care of the landscaping. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable as Mike, Meredith, and Ann recap last week’s TBTL. We’ve got a couple of drinks we can offer – would you prefer a $9 glass of sugar, or a shot of whiskey? (If you’re real nice, we might be able to rustle up an old toe to drop in there.) Feel free to use any bathroom you like: to us, you’re a first-class person, no matter what the airlines say. On today’s episode, Mike teaches us about cultural differences in baseball celebrating, Meredith has a very naughty dog, and Ann is literally podcasting in the dark. You may have to raise your voice a little because of the Mariachi band, but we’re confident our walk-up music is the best.

Mike and Bobby are joined by Bonney Lake Ten and Seattle Seahawks 12 Kalena Rogers to talk pets, pineapple on pizza, and the time Luke (in Seattle) and Andrew (in LA) recorded their experiences during Seattle’s (spoiler alert) Super Bowl win in 2014. Never look a gift pizza in the face, and try not to think about how Kalena’s half pitbull / half chihuahua was conceived—it’s a mystery for the ages. This episode looks back at TBTL #1528: Champagne And Skittles, from Feb. 3 2014.

Bobby and Mike are joined by special guest co-host, historiTen, Wagon Full of Loot™ winner and unabashed rental RV bathroom user Megan Keane, who opens her mystery prize live on the show! In addition to our TBTL Week in Review (which also includes a cruel Tim Hortons road sign and a dim sum strategy for avoiding execution), be sure to listen through to the end of the show for an LRB  INVESTIGATES EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with the one and only DOUG DANGER by our own intrepid producer Jeremy Holmes. Let’s just say the FAA wouldn’t let him jump two helicopters, but he doesn’t think he’s better than anybody else. If Megan sounds familiar, it’s because you probably heard her on LRB episode 135 last year, discussing a Luke Big Dog Alert and the origins of Walsh, Walsh & Doormat.

Don your scrufduggers and guard your Four Hole—it’s time to look back on Luke and Andrew’s week on the road with Big Baby Kevin. Mike, Ann and a bedraggled-sounding Bobby break down the guys’ surprising lack of breakdowns, from the check engine “soon” light outside of Boise to the seemingly endless list of idioms courtesy of Texas Monthly magazine. Plus, we get an audio postcard from M&M in the DR. Lessons learned: Never give Ann numbers. Never leave home without the freshest possible bread. Never leave your gambling slips unclaimed. And never—ever—accept help using the shower at the RV park, unless you’re into that kind of thing. (No judgment.) Here’s Roman Mars’ vexillology TED Talk. And here’s the cool program Meredith mentioned. This episode brought to you by throwyourphone.com.

Buckle up that seatbelt, charge your laser baldness helmet and climb on in to the mobile fart locker 2 as your LRB hosts Ann and Christy take us on a road trip of our own! From Poland to right next door, we speak with Tens of listeners (and their elevens) before and after the TBTL live show at Stubbs BBQ in Austin Texas.

Grab your old sleeping bag, a few beef sticks, and your favorite printer because it's time to load up the DeLorean and take a road trip back in time with Christy as she revisits TBTL live shows outside of Seattle. Is Jen the Kanye of Grannies? What happens when a comedian drinks too much back stage? Should you bring a first date to a TBTL event? Is John Mayer a doucher? All these questions and more will be answered on this episode! Special thanks to Ed Madson, Mike Farnan, Emily Mauer, Christy Landefeld, and Kolyan DasGupta for making this episode possible. Episodes discussed: Park Slope - http://www.infiniteguest.org/tbtl/2010/01/January-27-2010/ #641 LA Part 1 -  http://www.infiniteguest.org/tbtl/2010/09/september-10-2010/ #642 LA Part 2 - http://www.infiniteguest.org/tbtl/2010/09/september-13-2010/ #812 Chicago Night 1 - https://www.apmpodcasts.org/tbtl/2011/05/tbtl-live-chicago-part-1/ #813 Chicago Night 2-  https://www.apmpodcasts.org/tbtl/2011/05/episode-tbtl-live-chicago-part-2/ #2265 Chicago 2016 -  https://www.apmpodcasts.org/tbtl/2016/12/tbtl-live-from-chicago/

Hold the podcatcher! Bobby, Ann and Meredith just got off a connecting episode, and refuse to look stupid running across the Zune Marketplace to make it to your latest TBTL Week in Review on time. If we get stuck, we might have to drive a fartlocker full of smoked meats and roasted kale to you, or worse—fly coach. With our luck we’ll end up in a middle seat between two fidget spinner-ers. If you want to Eagle Soar (Sore?) with Luke, you can find him on Facebook this week. Or, you can cash me outside raiding Andy’s pecan-heavy Snack Drawer and watching the latest episode of Rosetta & Stone. It’s not great, but it’s better than the theme song to the Rockford Files. Speaking of theme songs, remember the time TBTL did an episode about Why They Matter? Professional Storyteller Luke sure didn’t. Oh, and buy Chris Hayes’ book, and read it. But only after you buy some sweet LRB merch.

When you day-drink pinot grigio in 85 degree heat and you're a delicate flower of a Seattleite, what could go wrong? Worst case scenario you pass out sleep it off under a tree because you're too embarrassed to go home. And then: time to go in to work! That's just a day in the life of our own Jen Andrews almost exactly eight years ago, and we celebrate that anniversary on this week's Little Red Bandwagon. Break out the parasol so you don't get even a little bit of heat stroke, and enjoy this month's Phyllis Phave with Christy and Jeremy.

It’s officially unofficial summer at the Little Red Bandwagon, and we’ve got so much going on we hardly know where to start. Mike, Ann and Meredith are ready to inflate the LRB hot air balloon and try to sneak up on those runaway turtles. Mike abandons any pretense of neighborliness as he asserts his sandwich rights, Ann inexplicably talks about tree cancer, and we want you to visit Meredith’s mom’s Etsy store for her Starburst wrapper crafts. After a healthy debate, we agree that Andrew would pulverize Luke in a fight, we disagree about the merits of a segment based around Gmail responses, and someone shares a real-world example that illustrates why, when packing underwear, you always count your days and then add one. Stick around for the end of the show, when Ann and Meredith gently guide Old Man Frizzell through his cleverly coded notes. Plus, we give you the first word on the potluck assignments for the Little Red Picnic.

Grosse Pointe Ten Sydney McIlroy joins Meredith and Bobby to listen back to the time Dr. Jerkington III—a proud alum of Judgement Tech—called Jen Andrews’ beloved Mr. Knightly “fat.” (He may have been right; he was still a jerk.) We also talk about our own pets, and piece together memories formed between stiff drinks at the St. Paul live show. Speaking of stiff, we’re confident you’ll like this episode at least as much as Eddie likes a good bull penis. This episode features a clip from Hour 3 of the April 3, 2008, episode of TBTL.

Greetings Friendos, we're interrupting your regularly scheduled programming for two special pieces of LRB news. 1. We've added some items to our store! Head on over to www.tenseventen.com/store or click the "Shop" button in the menu to view our new shirts, sweatshirts, totes and mugs featuring a special design crowdsourced by the Tens of listeners. 2. Save the date - August 18th 2017, we're going to have our very own LRB summer picnic here in Seattle. We've already reserved a covered spot and some tables at Woodland park so mark your calendars, more details will be headed your way soon! - Facebook Event Page

Bobby, Meredith and a John Rose Oval-adjacent Ann take a break from the never-ending pursuit of their PhDs in Podcastery to navigate a frenzy (or is it a gam?) of TBTL tangents from sharks to carnies and every dangerous and disgusting topic inbetween. (We’re looking at you, Buddig hamwater.) Plus, Bobby has an idea for a new reality cooking show, Meredith wants to study the correlation between alcohol and Bururey, and Ann’s mom has already heard approximately one-third of this episode. Special thanks to Steve “Stu” Newman for this week’s show title. In appreciation, we have a business proposition for you and your Surly friends. Hobos are funny. Malnourishment is not. Check out No Kid Hungry to learn more.

Psst! Get your lab coats and safety goggles, and don’t let Mike know where you’re going, because Meredith and Ann are stepping into the LRB lab to bring you a clip show all about TBTL and science. First, we talk about how we became scientists, what exactly we do for our jobs (because let’s face it, it’s kind of complicated and everybody’s too scared to ask), and what kind of challenges we face as women in science. Then we delve into some clips of our TBTL friendos dipping their toes into the world of studies, sample sizes, and experimental design. Jen and Luke can’t believe the things Canadians want to study, but we think they’re kinda missing the point. A crazy British scientist says we don’t need to bathe; Ann thinks you should never maintain the same hygiene level as The Mummy. Luke and Andrew are at odds over the restorative power of a nature walk. And a man with an unfortunate medical condition leads Meredith to ponder “all the things we do to allow men with no boners to have boners.”

Bobby, Meredith and Ann are ready to check you in for your pod-stay here at the reasonably appointed Hotel Walsh. Inexplicably in the heart of the Scottsdale Stag District, amenities include complimentary 24-hour DJ service, bespoke Bluetooth Zune docks in every room, and ample alleyways for abandoning undonatable but semi-functional refuse. Our gift shop features an extensive collection of stuff you wish you owned in the ‘90s, and our on-site Vietnamese soup shop includes on-call acquaintances always ready to take your confession. Please note: Snacks are required every 45 minutes for anyone under the age of 18. While legally unenforceable, regular hand-washing is encouraged. And for the love of god, wear a damn helmet. It took all our willpower not to dedicate the entire episode to that. Phyllis Fletcher is PRNDI’s Editor of the Year. The Top Gun Anthem is ridiculous. And Andrea Ballard’s podcast, Preheated, is pretty great.

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and most of us at Little Red Bandwagon are off getting ready to see (or avoid) our moms this weekend. So, here’s a particularly meta LRB Instant Classic™ from one year ago, when Bobby, Mike and Phyllis listened back to the time Luke, Jen and Sean all interviewed their moms on TBTL, and then gushed about their own childhoods. Sure, your brother might be a lawyer, and your sister might be a doctor. But you’re a wagoneer, and we love you just the same. This episode listens back to LRB 113: Mama said pod you out, which originally aired May 6, 2016. THAT episode listens back to TBTL May 9, 2008, Hour 2, Why It Matters: Moms Edition.

Today, Mike and Ann welcome guest host and Tube Full of Loot™ winner Naomi Hillyard on the third mic to talk tattoos, cults, and our honest opinion of Shirley Temple’s talent. We cover a veritable buffet of TBTL topics, including a battle for supremacy between candy-colored coffee drinks, whether preparing a frozen lasagna after eating a burger should really qualify as shame-eating or something else entirely (still shameful, mind you), and what's reasonable to expect your loved ones to do with your remains. Plus, Ann begs for an end to KFC Colonel talk, Mike shakes his head at the irony of Andrew correcting anybody on sports terminology, and Naomi offers a safe space for the karaoke-curious. And before we begin, let us remind you that you can use the safe word at any time.

Park close to the door and drag your Little Red Bandwagon straight to the pierogi station, where Ann, Mike and Phyllis are serving Generation snaX some middle-aged disdain. Stroll through the aisles of competitive parenting and grab a bag of miniature oranges for soccer later. On your way out linger over a jumbo pack of hot takes on the complex Burbank family feelings about a Seattle original: Costco.

Don’t listen to that dorkus malorkus Siri trying to direct you to The Gist—you definitely want to steer your podcatcher to Bobby, Ann and Mike recapping the latest week of the Peabody-adjacent TBTL. It may not be as addictive as a questionably shady home poker game or as stimulating as an inevitably damp Reader’s Digest, but it’ll definitely get you where you’re looking to go, unless you’re looking for a TBTL picnic. (If so, we’re sorry that happened to you.) Plus, Emily used technology to mildly traumatize Mike, Ann’s OK with you cracking into a Diet Coke because it’s noon somewhere, Meredith (via our planning spreadshee) says to keep your damn cat inside, and Bobby is now a man with something to live for.

Public radio listener, coffee drinker, cigar lover, Chipotle enthusiast and newly minted Little Red Bandwagon official counsel (at least in Tennessee) Caleb Gelineau joins Bobby and Meredith for a trip to the Stool Capital of the World as we listen back to TBTL’s classic “Why it Matters: Waiting for Guffman.” Plus, growing up religious like Luke and Jen, tips for curating a Tinder profile, and everything’s coming up Priceless Granite. And if you’re a glutton for audio punishment, here’s the time Luke interviewed Carl Kasell in a bathroom. Enjoy! This episode features hour 2 of the Sept, 12, 2008, edition of TBTL.

Meredith, Bobby and the once-again bipedal Mike go HAM on the latest week of TBTL, and answer the great questions of life, including but not limited to: Should jeans be washed? What TBTL producer emeritus should hide Shia LaBeouf? What’s the co-pay on Rick Rizzs’ hair insurance? Why is this gyrocopter only $400? And, most importantly, why Scottsdale? Plus, Red Robin napkins, Taco Bell trash, practice locks and Rocks for Jocks. Four out of five Hotel deLuxe employees agree this episode is great, and we’ll tell you who the fifth is if you’ll introduce us to Barbara Bogaev. Here’s that clip from The Newsroom breaking down Nancy Grace.

Burn your bra and grab a copy of The Feminine Mystique, because we’re venturing into the world of One and a Half Men. Ann and Christy, along with Very Special Guest Mansplainer Bob Stein, are here to take on TBTL’s occasional treatment of lady issues. We catch up with what’s been happening in Bob’s life since the last time he joined us on LRB (Episode #91: Casserole Playing), consider how we feel about the One and a Half Men segment in general, and then dig into some clips. Are men the cause of most of women’s problems? When does persistence become harassment? Is it ever okay to accuse a woman of being emotional? (Hint: NO.) We evaluate the guys’ approaches and attitudes towards thorny problems that they’re completely unqualified to discuss, cheer on their feminist sympathies, and roll our eyes as needed. Plus, we share our own stories of getting emotional in the workplace and come up with an early contender for Song of the Summer. Remember, guys: don’t email Andrew until we say it’s time! This show contains clips from the following TBTL episodes: 4/3/12 (lady television shows, Lee Aronsohn, sexism, On Our Media); 5/8/12 (going without makeup, AnnaLynne McCord, vanity); 4/7/14 (Dianne Feinstein, getting emotional, gendered insults, crying at work); 3/12/15 (persistence and consent, dating, YouTube, Doe Eyes, imperfect messenger, male entitlement).

It’s bathroom #demoday at Burbank Springs, and Bobby, Meredith and Ann are just trying to recap the latest week of TBTL while avoiding the sketchy element down at the local Lowes. Thankfully, we’ve learned what not to do courtesy of the Bryant Park Project, we’ve got a lead on some “cute” overalls, and—despite an examination of subpar lobster and an extensive Burger King Tangent Tracker—most (*most*) of the terlet talk sticks to actual, non-euphemistic plumbing.  All that, plus Bobby wonders if he’s a jerk, Ann actually saw “We Bought A Zoo,” and Meredith rolled her eyes so hard at Luke she ruined her amazing vision, but it’s OK because we’ve all decided to say we’re doctors, so we’ve got it covered. And in case you missed it, a guy got forcibly dragged off an airplane last week.  Here’s a TV segment about the Nordic Lodge.

Find your camera, grab your helmet, and scoot on over to the Little Red Bandwagon where this week Aaron Roden of the You Blu It! podcast shares a TBTL clip that hit him a little close to home. In 2013 a picture of Andrew was leaked, leading to a Facebook attack on his masculinity. Aaron joins Christy and Mike to defend Andrew and all scootabouters, as well as tell a harrowing story about the worst thing he ever encountered while cruising around Seattle at a reasonable speed. As discussed on the show, here is the original thread on the sTens page

Hi, stranger. Last week things got a little strained in the TBTL-verse, but we’ll always make room for you on the LRB escalator! Come and join the conversation riot with Mike, Meredith, and Ann as we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly & Extremely Upsetting. We’re talking taxes, T-rexes, S-Bux(es) and more. Things you need to know: smoking some Chris Haze will not help you understand Chris Hayes, “cream and dream” may have worked as a lyric in the 1960s but it’s problematic now, and you’re not as funny as you think you are (even you, Mike). Plus, tattoo lookouts, how to fall in love with baseball, and dog talk galore.

"You're all liars!" That was Jen's message in 2009 to Tens who assured her night guards are fine. Well, they're not, and LRB is putting the system on trial: we're taking the dental industry to Night Guard Court. In this month's Phyllis Phave, Meredith and Phyllis recount their histories with night guards, bite splints, retainers and other humbling dental apparatuses. So suck up that saliva, admit your lack of sex appeal and grind that piece of plastic into a fine dust as we look back on Luke and Jen's failed attempts to improve their bites in their sleep. From the TBTL archives: Feb 5, 2009 (ep 261) Apr 7, 2010 (ep 532, archived by HistoriTen Colleen Rozillis) Shout-out to Linh Pham's marsupialgurgle.com for audio spackle between clips. BONUS: See if you catch Phyllis' math error before she does!

Mike, Meredith and Bobby are DTP—that’s “down to pod”—and heading over to the mercado for a muy caliente deal on limes before recapping the latest week of TBTL, but only after taco talk, and taking a tour of the greatest consolation party ever dreamed in the theatre of the mind. All four of our economical and efficient Toyota cylinders are fired up and there’s a seat left open for you, so climb in, hold tight, and make sure you only use the towel with the Karen Pence “Adam and Eve, Not Adam and Steve” charm on it, because there’s no telling where the others have been.

March is #trypod month! (As if you didn’t already know.) In that spirit, we at Little Red Bandwagon have compiled clips of some of our favorite non-TBTL podcasts to expand your horizons, along with a little background on why we love them. Join Ann and Bobby for this special tour through our wide-ranging tastes. And when you’re done, find a luddite, and teach him or her how to download a podcast, because sharing is caring!  Here are our picks with each series’ title, followed by the episode or segment, and timestamps for the clip, in case you want to seek them out. (Or, skip past them. You do you.) Bobby: Crimetown (Ep. 1, Divine Providence) 3:35 to 16:10 Ann: Crime Writers On… (Tickled) 21:00 to 29:06 Meredith: Adventure Zone (Here There Be Gerblins) 32:10 to 36:47 Be sure to check out the animation! Christy: Anna Faris is Unqualified (Ep. 88, Joel McHale) 38:57 to 52:10 Jeremy: Whatever Happened to Pizza at McDonalds? (Episode 2) 54:32 to 58:15 Phyllis: Takedown Podcast (Ep. 98, Mo Knows Snacks) 60:38 to 65:10 Mike: Revisionist History (S01:E07, Hallelujah) 69:00 to 82:39

This week, we’re all heroes at LRB. Mike saved his family from conflict by sharing a heartfelt moment, even if it was only because his wires were tapped. Ann brazenly rejects the idea of “Gleeification,” despite only being our third-favorite babysitter. And Bobby offers to put his life and body on the line to settle whether or not Taco John’s is any good—if you’ll pay for the trip. And on top of all of that, we take time off from our important work to recap the latest week of TBTL. So join us as we climb the pyramid of deliciousness all the way to its pork peak, and feast on an idealized Dagwood from our favorite Mongolian Quiznos. It’s sure to make for some exciting at-plates.  Be sure to check out Bean Baxter's ridiculously adorable old house, and the chocolate buffet at the Langham in Boston.

This week, Mike and Ann are joined by Sarah Mulrooney, proud BosTen, shaper of young minds, and someone who likes a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio. Mike repurposes an old game for a round of Make Sarah Mad, Ann has questions about culinary offerings at boarding schools, and Sarah shares the time she got into a Facebook beef with Luke. Then we go back to the “Saddest Day in TBTL History” and listen to Luke telling the Tens about his break up with Vanessa. It sounds like a downer, but we embrace the emotion and have a long talk about finding the courage to end something that you know isn’t working. Don’t skip this one, guys.

Based on Luke’s holiday accent and the sharp spike in the number of phone-throwings lately, it seems the Luck o’ the Irish has been too busy partying every weekend to grace us. But have no fear: Bobby, Ann, and special guest co-host Mike Farnan (i.e. the new and improved, two-legged Mike) are here to navigate this not-technically-a-blimp through your frustration, patch up any rough spots with red duct tape, and whisper in your ear (non-sexually, of course) why you’ve been listening to TBTL all this time. And we even get right down to business—no Maddow-sweeping the quarter-hour here! All that plus a recap of this week’s shows (Girl Scouts! Boner pills! ASMR! … Not all at once!) and Mike opens his WAGON FULL OF LOOT LIVE, and it’s almost as awe-inspiring as Milton Berle’s junk. Almost. When you’re done, check out this article on blimps from the New Yorker, and this great Key & Peele sketch, both mentioned by Mike. We should all be more like Mike. This episode recaps TBTL episodes 2335 (Wallingford Wurst, headaches, St. Patrick’s Day, spelling bee, Girl Scout cookies, Vanilla Ice), 2336 (Techno geeks drop, CIA hacking, St. Patrick’s Day), Viagra, Goodyear blimp, Johnny Depp), 2337 (Eagles, Diana Ross, Technotronics Technogeek with Spreadshee, DashLane, Maddow, BBC interview, Luke’s Irish impression, ASMR), 2338 (Eagles, Fast and the Furriest, McDonald’s tweet, Julian Assange, Nielsen ratings), 2339 (ASMR, Smashmouth All Star, Milton Berle, Mutley, white noise, Richard Simmons podcast, housekeeping.)

Our pal Luke: charming, witty, fun, and ever-so-slightly unethical. From his intense desire for Charleston Chews and his childhood pal Aaron’s “muscle pullover hoodie” to helping himself to unpaid-for fast food lemonade, Luke’s always willing to share his experiences with minor larceny. And so, to celebrate these trivial transgressions, Christy and Ann are here to bring you a collection of TBTL clips about petty theft in the TBTL universe. In addition to Luke’s antics, we cover Jen’s story of a nefarious yard gnome theft ring and debate strategies for minimizing vehicular property damage. Plus, stories of our own petty thefts (and you thought we were such angels!). FYI: The app Christy mentioned in the show for helping figure out when to go to the bathroom during movies is called "RunPee" and you can find it at www.RunPee.com 

It’s been a rough week on TBTL, but there’s no need to Get Jesse James/Jones, because the I-35 Crew of Mike, Meredith and Ann is on the job. We’re fortified by 8 “cups” of coffee and enough Buffalo Frito Pie that the government won’t even want to watch us through our televisions. Our breakdown of last week’s shows includes agreeing that Luke’s pushing the bounds of the concept of the late checkout, deciding that you’re not a “cat person” until you get that third cat, and a refusal (mostly) to continue hashing out The Great Phone Incident of 2017. Also in the hopper: we talk about our own small anxieties at the gas station, the produce section, and the checkout counter. Mike shares his rage and frustration at being called a liar, Ann’s got the Tangent Tracker™ at full power, and Meredith has been single-handedly populating our Amazon purchases list. Remember, it’s only for techno-geeks with spreadsh

This week, Christy and Ann are joined by Andrea Ballard, co-host of the Preheated podcast and the person you go to when your coworkers won’t stop posting inappropriate pictures on the company intranet. We spend way too much time talking about dessert before stepping into the Wayback Machine to listen to the time Luke and Andrew inexplicably agreed to do a podcrawl review of the “classic” movie Look Who’s Talking Too. So many questions: how does someone’s career trajectory simultaneously include ‘cabbie’ and ‘licensed commercial jet pilot’? Is it possible this is a Scientology-influenced film? How can they critique this with straight faces? Why do all of Luke’s impressions turn into Bill Clinton?

We may not be that new podcast about Richard Simmons, and we may not be Roomba rich, but we’ve got a solid Mexican martini recipe, a sturdy case for our phone, and a bumper crop of Midwestern accents. Join Christy, Mike, Bobby, Meredith and Ann for a very special Little Red Bandwagon Week in Review that also includes the stories of how each of us caught the hot potato of responsibility that is the role of Podcast Host. It’s a well-done episode of LRB, and we couldn’t care less if you smother it in ketchup.  Here’s that SNL Casey Affleck Dunkin’ Donuts commercial Bobby won’t stop talking about.   This week recaps TBTL episodes 2325 (Claim Jumper, Twin Peaks, Hooters, Port Townsend Film Festival, Oscars, Twitter), 2326 (Garfield, Amazon AWS ACS, Trump steak, hot dogs, Weird Al), 2327 (Food, Claim Jumper, fat, Tiesto, Skyjinx, taste on planes, umami, baseball intentional walk, butter on sandwiches), 2328 (Catch 22, Dr. Strangelove, Sauconys, New Day TV, publicists, Cat tongues, drool, douche nozzle), 2329 (Starbucks eggs, Luke on KUOW, dog diapers, thunder shirts, Don Rickles, Andrew’s phone, Andrew’s phone, Andrew’s phone.)

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher returns to take Mike and Bobby back in time via shame spiral to a divey, smoky “steakhouse,” and the time an emboldened Jen “Flash” Andrews tried (and, unfortunately for Jason) succeeded in talking her way onstage with the band. Her actual performance? Not so hot. If only that band knew anything from the catalog of Bonnie Raitt. While we have her, Fletch updates us on her recent shameful manual transmission woes on a wet, slippery Capitol Hill, and how women apparently have fantasies of forced mental vacations by way of non-life-threatening hospitalization. Next time, Jen and Phyllis should just both stick to playing bass. Pretty much anyone can do that. Amirite?   This episode features a TBTL clip from Feb. 28, 2008, hour 2.

Noted anti-anti-semite Meredith Mahan is on the road, coping with some sad news with help from a Mexican martini from an off-mic Frizzell, and an opinionated, interrupting Edith in Orkin Studios at the Kyle Insect Museum. Hover on over to our pod-hovel where she joins Bobby “in league with Emma Watson at FedEx Office” Pape and Ann “put your ass on the seat!” Lundholm for a gluttonous smörgåsbord of TBTL topics fit for a Ron Upshaw +1, helps explain a Burbank family not-quite paradox, and throws one hell of a hospital happy hour. It’s an episode great for any office space! If you want more Luke Taco Bell talk, check outthis recent episode of Stack of Dimes. If you want more Birthday Paradox info check out this website. If you want to make Duff’s not-quite-trail mix, check out this recipe. And if you want to be able to make phone calls, listen to music AND take pictures on the go, check out this little bit of genius technology.

We are joined by EvereTen and LRB alumni Dana Steele to play a clip, of a clip, of a podcast that was played on the podcast that this podcast is about. If it sounds confusing, don't worry just take a leap of faith and stick with us as we talk about how hearing this TBTL segment was a turning point for Dana's life and new beginnings.  As discussed on the show:  Hear Dana on LRB #33: "Wolf Magic" The TBTL clip on this episode is from TBTL #1634: "What Are Ya Doin’ Here… Day Jobs Edition" Hear all ten episodes of "Day Job" at http://www.northwester.org/dayjob 

Grab your LOL shirt, pour a big bowl of Steak O’s and milk, and get ready for some snuggle time with Eddie, because it’s time to review last week’s TBTL.  Meredith, Mike and Ann are ready to play 20 Questions about the topics they’ll need to cover: 1)Is it a hot dog? 2)Is it a magnet? 3)Is it a hot dog magnet? They discuss the meaning behind teenage Andrew’s visit to his driving instructor’s apartment, share some close calls (with good and bad outcomes) regarding bathroom emergencies, and try to separate the George Michaels from the George Michaelses. While they have slightly differing opinions about Valentine’s Day, they’re in complete agreement that under no circumstances should Luke be allowed to take flying lessons. Additionally, Meredith tells us about the disease with the best/worst name ever, Ann silently cringes as the other two discuss something they refer to as a “space turd grabber”, and Mike is excited for Luke to get his Light Phone, if only for the rich vein of mockery he can mine. Oh, and if we can’t get a plane home from Portland, we’ll be sure to stay at the Hotel Deluxe, because “this is how a hotel treats a VIP customer.”

We’ve popped the champagne, spread the rose petals on the bed, and put on the sexy, sexy music. All that remains is to ask the question: will you be our Valentine? Ann and Christy are here with a clip show about TBTL and Valentimes Day, and boy, is there a lot to talk about. Topics discussed include: how we feel about this dubious holiday, conversation hearts – yay or nay?, the horror that is ‘work spouses’, Luke’s disregard for online restaurant reservation systems, management of romantic expectations, and how it is that two 40-year-old men in long-term relationships can’t seem to figure out how Valentine’s Day works. Plus, a look back at the TBTL Dating Game, with Sean “Guy Smiley” DeTore as the most amazing host ever. P.S. Here’s a bonus ‘work spouse’ joke Christy wishes she had thought of during recording: “The closest thing I have to a work husband is Mike, mostly because I hate him as much as Emily does. ZING!”

Strap your sled to your most reliable pet, and slide on down to the closest podstore: you can even go ahead and take that spot for the Listener of the Month, you’re entitled to it. Special guest co-host Steve “Stu” “StuBot” “Chris Hayes Follows Me on Twitter” Neuman joins Bobby and Mike to recap the latest week of TBTL, and to update us all on recent news in his life both professional and anatomical. It turns out, the only path more treacherous than the one down Alabama Hill this week is the one to Stu’s vas deferens. We don’t need another gyro—we just need to stop getting outbid by wheelerdealer2000.

Education doctor and San Jose Ten Ellen “Andrew on the Inside” Middaugh takes a break from diagnosing social media’s impact on politics today (spoiler: it’s … not great) to join Ann and Bobby for a celebration of Luke and Andrew’s ability to riff on pretty much anything, as proven in a series of Led Zeppelin song titles funneled through Luke’s impression of Kai Ryssdal. The clip, from October 24, 2014, comes from the same episode as Luke’s legendary dombass note (as we’ve previously covered with Phyllis). Overall the episode is an embarrassment of riches, unlike Luke’s old classmate Brendan Boyd, who is just an embarrassment. Silver Lining Alert: Luke’s impression of Kai Ryssdal gives Ann and Ellen a chance to share a Whole Lotta Love for their favorite “voice crush,” who is still on Ann’s laminated list even though he’s traded in his convertible and Navy uniform for a workhorse minivan. (No one tell Justin Trudeau.)   

Grab a Diet Dr Pepper and some pizza-shaped gummies at the Durn Good Grocery, because Mike, Bobby and Ann are ready to unpack another week of TBTL. We’ll need to pour ourselves a big cup of chicory coffee to go with those sous-vide eggs, because frankly, we’re still recovering from Luke’s “in the rough” encounter with a Florida groundskeeper. Mike shares some blistering hot takes about the latest episode of Entitled Etiquette: Travel Edition, including an inspired analogy between Luke and a Domino’s pizza. Andrew’s story of his recent fall prompts us to share our own unfortunate experiences with gravity, including Bobby’s hand-disfiguring bike injury, wheelchair wisdom from Mike, and why Ann feels weird about the movie Under the Tuscan Sun. Speaking of movies, don’t miss the sure-to-be blockbuster thriller, Anne of Nakatomi Plaza. And we finally learn the motto that adorns the Frizzell family crest. P.S. Don’t forget to check out what’s going on for National Pie Month with our friends over at the Preheated podcast!

The most specific PSA you'll never need in this month's Phyllis Phave edition of LRB. Meredith and Phyllis join their host Christy who guides us through some genuine girl talk: Phyllis and phriends lose 1,000 lbs during the Trump administration, and Meredith prepares to be the belle of the real-life ball. Then we go back in time to the waning radio days of TBTL when Luke and Jen announce what not to do on a live national broadcast when you're interviewing a trauma survivor. We get On Our Media and give you news you probably can't use on this week's Little Red Bandwagon. All that, and we congratulate our first monthly Wagons Full of Loot winner!

Crack open a cold, refreshing Diet Coke, and don’t dare email us about the fake sugar—Showmates Bobby, Ann and Meredith don’t want to hear about it. Instead, enjoy a defense of casual fandom, what to do if you can hear your neighbors peeing, a final Dukakis turkey carcass count, a first-hand Coachella sharpshoot, occasional encounters with an actual EGOT, why you shouldn’t copy your long division test off the Asian kid, and many, many more pitons hammered into the cracks of Mt. TBTL. Plus, Simpsons Watch™, an Anthony Update™, Joe-Joe on the Squat™ and more, all thanks to great contributing Wagoneers. This is the perfect episode to turn up in an effort to drown out the sound of your parents having sex.  Be sure to also check out this Dutch response to the election of Donald Trump, and these awesome Japanese toilets!

What's creepier: a mannequin head, poster of Bobby, or a dead deer? Why is Jeremy so aggro? What happened to the button fly on my suit? This week we sit down with Ten, podcaster, and mail carrier Jeff Richardson to ask the hard questions and of course break down some classic moments in TBTL history.  As discussed on the show:  Check out Jeff's podcasts here: http://awesomepod.squarespace.com/, find him on twitter @eljefetacoma  Find more about Little Red Bandwagon at littleredbandwagon.com

Welcome, friendos! The political landscape may have shifted, but TBTL continues, and that means LRB is here to break it down. In your weekly recap, Mike, Meredith, and Ann puzzle over exactly what it means that Andrew’s been meeting “old colleagues” for lunch, reflect on how Carey’s becoming a true Burbank, (although her desire to follow rules and regulations is driving her husband crazy), and dissect Luke’s trolling of the Canadian Border Patrol, which makes Carey, Andrew (and frankly all of us) extremely nervous. Additionally, Luke strives for an advantage in the parking ticket arms race, Andrew doesn’t understand why he can’t find eggnog for purchase in January, and we learn that TBTL has a new supervisor. Welcome, and we hope you’re not listening. Along with all this week’s hot takes, Meredith shares how her tiny fence experience was a little more than she bargained for, Ann wants a moratorium on the phrase “on the nose,” (unless it refers to Luke’s dermatological issues) and Mike explains the concept of “sheet nipples." Plus, Simpsons Watch is a go, plans for the LRB slanket are being finalized (not really), and we’re busy creating an LRB raffle prize box that’ll give you the true, authentic aroma of Kyle, TX. Oh, and sorry about that whole Putin/Seagal imagery thing... we can’t get it out of our heads, either.

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher joins Bobby and Mike for some post-McFrizz Files questions about her father’s crimes and time behind bars, and a Phlashback to stories of alcohol- and animatronic-fueled rage at a string of rural Chuck-E-Cheese’s locations in January 2009. And speaking of Real America, remember that starting today, it’s Great Again™! Today’s episode includes some related commentary (mainly from Mike), and some extremely polite and diplomatic additional input (Phyllis). Feel free to skip it—your time is probably better spent working on your fallout shelter now anyway (Bobby).

Don’t Stop your podcatcher now! Bobby and Ann are joined on The Chain by special guest and Gold Dust Woman Amy Sheppard to Make Loving (TBTL) Fun with your latest Week in Review! While we would prefer Never Going Back Again, it seems we’re stuck in a déjà poop loop as Luke Goes His Own Way with his new $30 bidet, and is doomed to repeat Second Hand News from TBTL past. Why, you ask? Oh Daddy, we Don’t Want to Know. Also this week: An array of feedback from Wagoneers (including an amazing voicemail), Dreams of a bidetking.com sponsorship, a special Tiny Fence Concert audio postcard from Meredith, and much, much more.  When you’re done here, go check out Songbird Amy’s podcast where she Makes Loving (music) Fun, Earbuds and Earworms! If the Rumors are true, it’s prettyyyyyy prettyyyyyy prettyyyyyy pretty good. Maybe even as good as Loud Pipes by Ratatat. 

In the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live. That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this episode Christy and Mike sit down to field questions from the wagoneers (and some of our youngest listeners).  The TBTL clip in this show originally aired Jan 23rd, 2009. (The interview with Christy and Mike starts at 46:00)

Hey, Dummy: set a timer for two hours! Ann, Meredith and Mike are here and ready for a mammoth recap of last week’s TBTL. The pizza piles are in the oven, the zoodles and boodles are on the stove, and we are not (I repeat, NOT) working on the show sheet wearing our baldness laser helmets. Luke is causing trouble in his marriage due to his ongoing affair with technology, as well as working up some pre-emptive indignation at the tickets he’s surely going to get for parking illegally in Walshworld. Andrew and his pink ink notes (they’re friendly!) have been experiencing some episodes of rage, but we should be all right, as long as he keeps a lid on his manberry pudding pack. Err, his Saint-Tropez truffle duffle. I mean, his budgie smuggler. On the homefront, we have lots of new things gearing up, including a call to action for the Wagoneers and a new contest. Mike details his new policy for picture messaging him, Meredith explains what it means that she’s hosting a Tiny Fence ConcertTM, and Ann wants everybody to stop bitching about how cold they are, because she’s colder, dammit.

That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. ​In this episode Christy and Mike are joined by none other than Big Country, the jail dude's jail buddy, to talk about what life was like behind bars.  The TBTL clip in this show originally aired Jan 21st, 2009. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285) (The interview with Christy, Mike, and Big Country starts at 43:00) 

Happy New Year from Little Red Bandwagon! Slip past the kid at the door and grab any open seat to hear Meredith, Mike and Bobby recap the latest week of TBTL, because it’s not stealing if it was going to be empty anyway. We promise not to tell, especially because Bobby is too busy breaking in his Instant Pot, Mike is too busy watching a kitten antagonize a bunny, and Meredith is too busy running the numbers on how many celebrities died last year. (Hot Take: They’re probably not going to stop in 2017.) Please just make sure to keep the lights on for Duff, keep your mouth shut about the new shower head, check out Andrew’s new mixtape, and (literally) phone it in for any potential new listeners. They’ll love that. (The part you want starts at 0:26.)

That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this episode Christy and Mike are joined by radio personality Rick Schwartz to talk about the time Mike filled in for him on a radio show while he was a fugitive.  The TBTL clip in this show originally aired Jan 21st, 2009. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285) (The interview with Christy, Mike, and Rick starts at 40:00)   

Join Bobby, Christy, Mike, Meredith, Ann, Jeremy and Phyllis for a Secret Santa holiday spectacular! What this episode lacks in TBTL hot takes, it makes up for with holiday joy, ire for nearly every major shipping company, and abundant gift-opening audio texture. Plus: Kitten talk, Ann the Detective, a gift for Ellie, someone likes Etsy, someone else doesn’t like The Miracle Worker, we’re patenting the Broomba®, and much, much more.

That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this episode Christy and Mike are joined by friend, former roommate, and the person that picked Mike up from Jail, Barbara Arrowsmith.  The clip in this show is from the 3rd hour of TBTL Jan 20th, 2009. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285) Interview with Christy, Mike, and Barb begins at about 37:00 in.  

Luke may have talked his way out onto international waters, but that won’t stop Bobby, Ann and Meredith (along with their fully intact lawn furniture) from talking through the latest week of TBTL. In fact, we loved approximately four or five (depending on how you count ‘em) of this week’s guest hosts, though only one of them is our *interim* favorite (hint, hint). So don your pristine nightgown, shuffle whatever papers you’ve got, note that LRB officially has enough passport stories for a future clip show now, and remember: the less you accidentally/on purpose say, the less you accidentally/on purpose regret. Also, we know Eddie is a gentleman in the house and a freak in the streets, but we’re working on it.

In the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live. That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this inaugural episode of the series Christy and Mike are joined by Bill Radke, reporter and longtime friend of Mike to talk about how it all began.  The clip in this show is from the 3rd hour of TBTL Jan 19, 2009*. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285) Interview with Christy, Mike, and Bill Radke begins at about 38:50 Note: *Christy said the interview was from 1/9/9 but it's actually 1/19/09

Pack your 7-11 cartons of gum, grab your bootleg copy of 30 Rock, don’t forget your robot doll: it’s time for a new episode of LRB! The gate agents didn't hold the plane, so Mike, Meredith and Ann pile into the Chevy Aveo for the TBTL Week in Review. We refuse to pay it forward at Starbucks, but we might buy some knockoff Michael Jordan shoes (hey, it’s not stealing until you leave the store). Mike wants Meredith to make a veritable Sophie’s choice, while Ann refuses to make eye contact with that cute coworker. It’s a pretty tight squeeze, but at least we’re not flying Continental.

Grab your spandex and grow your hair out, because Mike Frizzell, Wagoneer Michelle Zinkevicz and Bobby “has all his limbs still” Pape are heading back to the age of Butt Rock via a TBTL segment from the radio days. What is Butt Rock exactly? We’re not sure. But we know it’s the perfect soundtrack for your evening drive down the 101 from (the other) Long Beach (WA) to (the other) Newport (OR). This episode looks back at hour 2 of TBTL from July 2, 2008.

Little Red Bandwagon podcast

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher takes a break from trust falls and ice breakers with her team in Portland to share not one but TWO TBTL moments from Decembers past! One features Jen (the cake is a lie), one features Luke (who’s too young for a decaf nightcap), and both raise a great question: why did I say that?! While We Have Her™, Phyllis also tells us what it was like in the newsroom on Election Night, from the cliché whiskey to her Reverse Driveway Moment. Plus, Mouth Sounds! Public Service Announcement: This episode features an occasional use of the word “moist,” in relation to Jen’s baking tips. You have been warned. In fact, as an apology, if you’re one of the first 20 people to send and email to littleredbandwagon (at) gmail (dot) com with the word “moist” in the subject line, Christy will send you an LRB sticker as soon as she finishes gagging. Thanks! This episode features TBTL clips from Dec. 8, 2008, hour 2 and Dec. 8, 2014, episode 1747.

Climb aboard the KSPRT Grosston Roller Coaster for a wild ride through the latest week of TBTL with Bobby, Ann and Great Big Man Mike. We (somewhat) tactfully tackle TBTL’s recent gauntlet of bodily function talk, but might need an ice bath and some sample pierogis if anyone expects us to podcast tomorrow. Just remember: unicycles are a deal-breaker, don’t forget the bulk whipping cream, and it’s always better not to be the guy who farted. Oh, and Ann Needs Advice!

It’s a very special holiday edition of LRB as Mike, Christy, Jeremy, Bobby, Ann, Phyllis and (sort of) Meredith all come together around the dining room podtable. We kick things off with a Thanksgiving Day Parade of Misery as our worst Turkey Day memories overload the Wappler Doppler in a deluge of disasters from culinary to family—all, of course, punctuated with laughter, and everybody’s favorite imitation turkey gobble. Then, we move on to a feast of put-ups, because we have no shortage of reasons to be thankful this year! The short list includes an LRB family wedding, a new house, pain relief, outstanding colleagues, a surplus of pie, the Affordable Care Act, the end of a presidency (not the one you’re thinking), and, most of all, our thoughtful and charitable listeners. Really. We mean it! (Don’t cry. Be Strong Britney

Mike, Ann and an unexpectedly ailing Bobby ditch the Coleman cooler full of algae juice for some Canadian beer and Teriyaki Madness before losing their appetites thanks to Luke’s questionable medical talk and hygiene maintenance. Then again, stories of Bobby’s high school surgery prep, Ann nerding out about murderdata.org and Mike’s unoiled stump didn’t help much, either. It’s not all a trip to Grossto(w)n though—there’s also Skyjinx (woo), multiple hypothetical questions and a trio of Simpsons references.

(If you’re going to be mean, at least be funny, and use proper grammar.)

Buckle up, check your mirrors, and make sure that your mixed nuts are in the glove box, because traffic is bad and we shouldn’t let the occasional anger management issue get in the way of enjoying another clip episode of LRB. Ann and Christy are here to talk TBTL road rage stories, some surprising (Andrew) and some most definitely not (Luke). We’ll hear about passive-aggressive tendencies while riding the scootabout, juvenile reactions to feeling judged by fellow drivers, and the story that has Andrew cringing with embarrassment even as Luke is awed by his genius. This show contains clips from the following TBTL episodes: 3/15/2010 (give the finger, Grave Digger, fighting), 3/30/2013 (live show, scootabout, blow a kiss, passive aggressive); 6/23/2014 (Medina, college, most embarrassing, punishment); 12/30/2014 (rerun intro, feeling judged, angry sad clown demon, Lisa Weinberg, Carey Burbank).

Mike, Meredith and Ann finally stop lumping it up and drag themselves out into the light to survey the wreckage of the American electoral process. They share their election night experiences, next day reactions, and thoughts on where we go from here. Despite their sadness, they manage to address a variety of TBTL topics, including lovesick snails, the handsomest prisoner ever(?), Second Worst American Martin Shkreli and his latest Wu-Tang antics, and the official kombucha of the Seattle Seahawks. In other news, Eddie the dog has made an unexpected transformation, and Meredith and Mike are concerned about Ann’s mental state.

Working Man Bobby Pape, Mike Today’s Tom Sawyer Frizzell and special guest Houston Ten and RushCon Founder Eddy Maxwell hop into the Red Barchetta, and channel The Spirit of (imaginary) Radio by getting Closer to the Heart with some morning-after-the-election talk about the Subdivisions in our country. (We are sincere and share words of hope, but are also frustrated and opinionated. If you take issue with our acknowledging the President-Elect’s overt sexism, racism and demagoguery, maybe skip this one.) Then we cheer up by shining the Limelight on a funny and impression-filled Luke rant from July 2013 about the birds that Fly By Night, but come back to ruin his sleep every morning. This episode looks back to TBTL #1375. For some fun Golfman talk, go listen back to the full episode. And don’t forget to send us your questions about Mike’s time as a bank robbing pill addict and incarcerated felon!

Turn the porch light off and ignore the incessant knocking, because there’s no time for adorable children when a week of TBTL is waiting to be recapped. Ann’s back from SFO and joins Mike and Bobby for everything from gold chains and toupée talk to HGTV and Granny Time. Plus, Ann went “Hollywood,” Mike stole 100 Grand (the candy bar … and much later the money) and Bobby went to the Magnolia Silos in Waco. #shiplap Oh, and we can officially blame President Trump on Cubs fan Chris Hayes’ deal with the devil.

On a Phletch Phaves Phryday we celebrate Phyllis Fletcher's second anniversary of being a Ten with the episode that hooked her: the TBTL obituary for Tom Magliozzi of Car Talk. Meredith, Mike and Phyllis connect the dots of the Car Talk Talk to reveal its subtext and elevate it as a pivotal moment in TBTL history, unbeknownst as it was to Tens back in 2014. In an LRB Bonus Track we hear the radio story Luke helped Phyllis produce as an intern, about racism that happens on the phone. It's historic and folkloric...it's this Friday's LRB.

¡Bienvenidos a Stumpton! Slip into your hospital footie socks, pour yourself some coconut water, and visit Bobby, Meredith and Mike at the San Juan Salsa Bar for your latest, healthiest, watermelon-colored TBTL Week in Review (and your gratis Big Papi tortilla chips). We’re a little afraid of trying to fire our layabout unioncats, and a lot afraid of getting our hair wet. But at least we ain’t afraid of no hipster girl in a jumpsuit. When you’re done with this, make sure to check out the latest episode of Earbuds and Earworms—or at least, their latest episode’s show pic, featuring Jason as a sexy (or slutty?) Bob Ross.

Horticulturalist, freelance writer/editor and one-time Soul Patrol DJ Michelle Sutton joins Bobby and Meredith for an Upstate New York whistle-stop nostalgia, House Bunny Fun Facts!® and a look back to the time in 2008 Luke interviewed Jen, and they felt all the feels. (As if you didn’t love Jen enough already.) Remember to vote for LRB in King 5’s Best of Western Washington contest, use Ladyflash by the Go! Team for all of your music bed needs, and not to buy, sell or process anything. This episode looks back to TBTL episode 706, from December 10, 2010. Find more: www.littleredbandwagon.com

Pop the prosecco and call in your lap sandwich: Mike, Meredith and Ann are hitting pause on TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles marathon for your latest TBTL Week in Review. Who needs salad when we’ve got hot browser cookies? Who needs a hit investigative podcast when we’ve got Jesus Creek and awkward neighbor boy talk? And who needs Katie Nolan when we’ve got Andrew’s garbage anxiety? It just doesn’t matter! It just doesn’t matter!  Oh, can you pick us up at the airport? … Bring your microphone.

The ghosts and goblins have come out to play, because it’s Halloween at the LRB! Ann and Christy are here to give their opinions on scary movies, share their personal Halloween experiences, and examine the Halloweens of TBTLs past. Whether you dress up as a punk rocker, a cowgirl, a Roman soldier or Dorcas the Seamstress, there’s something for everybody, including Luke’s childhood encounter with a witch, Sean’s Balls of Fury ™, Fort Wayne holiday decorating tips from Jen, and Andrew’s indignation over Luke’s interaction with a “rude” cat barista. Plus, Christy goes on the most amazing rant about office cake that any of us will ever hear.

Bobby, Ann and Mike dive stump-first into the deep end of the soon-to-be-winterized pool that is the last week of TBTL. We start by searing our hot takes off in several inches olive (but thankfully not sesame) oil, and then slow cook our commentary for several hours in our trusty past-due Crock-Pot®. Mike defends the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Bobby doles out wedding DJ advice, and Ann keeps her frustration at a steady simmer. Overall, it’s a tender but fatty episode, with some overpriced powder filling in the gaps in our lackluster cabbage. Remember: - Subscribe to Earbuds & Earworms! - Go to littleredbandwagon.com/amazon and order Jesus Creek Mysteries: All The Great Pretenders - Go watch this clip from The Newsroom that breaks down the manipulative mastery of Nancy Grace. THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to and shared our recent GoFundMe appeal for Mike and Emily. Thanks to you, we surpassed our goal, and we can go back to mocking Mike without mercy or guilt!

Oscars for everybody! Ann and Christy are joined by Kansas Ten and pop culture enthusiast Katherine Damman to talk Gilmore Girls, whether Luke could have gone wild in Branson, MO and what the heck throwed rolls are. Then we listen back to the early, early days of TBTL, when Jen Flash Andrews and KIRO movie critic Tom Tangney discuss the year’s crop of Oscar nominees, as well as their own yin and yang movie-watching sensibilities. Things we learn: Jen has an unfortunate track record of getting kicked out of movies, Diablo Cody is going to do some very big things, and The Notebook is “the outrage of all cinema”. Oh, and THE MILKSHAKE STANDS FOR OIL. Bonus movie recommendations: Enter The Battlefield and Big Stone Gap (Katherine), Straight Outta Compton and Ghostbusters (Christy), Spotlight and Sicario (Ann).

It’s been a graphic week on TBTL, and Mike, Meredith and Ann are ready to talk about (among other things) persistent cat pee, a “destroyed” bathroom at a baby shower, and (cough) mayonnaise. Andrew’s upset because Professor Bananas has turned his closet into her personal ammonia-scented paradise, Luke is upset because his dreams of a first class upgrade were crushed, and we’re upset because Luke’s financial mismanagement led to the temporary closure of the TBTL email accounts. In today’s LRB Science Corner, instead of exploring the possibilities of the ‘brown note’ we encourage the scientists of America (and the world, really) to focus on identifying the ‘O-note’. Plus, Meredith prepares to take over the cat-whispering empire of Jackson Galaxy, Mike shares some details about his Frankenstump, and Ann states the obvious by identifying Kanye as a d-bag.

There’s nothing better than a great origin story. For her October Phlashback, Phyllis Fletcher takes Mike and Bobby back to the day Luke shared with the world the note left on his backward-facing car in the maritime village of Port Townsend, WA, that brought a colorful addition to the TBTL lexicon. And while we have her, Phyllis kindly takes the boys (who have two journalism degrees and zero journalism jobs between them) through how her awesome day job works. Our own notable parking stories include public humiliation, residential scolding and municipal theft—but at least none of us choked in class while trying to get the Led out. This episode Phlashes back to October 24, 2014, Don’t Be A Dombass. 

Here! Here! (Hear? Hear?) Mike is back, and fills Bobby, Meredith and the Wagoneers in on where he’s been the last month or so before we recap the latest week of TBTL. It’s actually a pretty heavy story, but have no fear: It’s balanced out by personified pets, Uncle Ike’s $2 bills, grievances with Iceland, a prescription for a glass of cranberry juice, and a call to stop body-shaming giant pandas. (Especially on the bamboo casting couch.)  

Ann Lundholm is flanked by TBTL line-of-succession members Phyllis Fletcher and Stu the StuBot Neuman at Black Sheep Coal Fired Pizza in St. Paul for a meta look back at times TBTL has taped live in restaurants. (Insert Kelly O drop here.) Over beers and a half No. 4 (Meatball, Ricotta & Garlic) / half No. 5 (Fennel Sausage, Hot Salami, Onion & Cracked Green Olives) pie, the gang breaks down the spectrum of embarrassment from Luke to Andrew, builds an impassioned defense of Arby’s (except for the sad one), and even slips in a plug for Stu’s podcast The Sportive, your leading source for fan-perspective, semi-produced hot takes on Minnesota sports. Here’s hoping the boss at Black Sheep doesn’t go on the internet all the time.

Bobby, Ann and Meredith are tangled up in lanyard talk as they recap TBTL’s week at (or at least adjacent to) the PRPD conference in Phoenix, and it seems no amount of Alaska Board Room soup or nearly nude hotel room T25 is going to give Luke or Andrew Bill Murray-level confidence. Also, Ann recommends the movie Breach, Christy asks us to tell you about Jesus Creek Mysteries, and we all agree FedEx is the worst. This episode also includes a preview of our upcoming Friday show featuring Phyllis Fletcher in Minnesota with StuBot and Ann.

Live from the Trans Am Room at the Motor Court Motel, ChiTen pastry chef Brigid “Gabriella” Schabes flanks Meredith “Mercedes” Mahan and Bobby “Should Have Been Ann” Pape for a plethora of topics from pie crusts and biscuit tips to a TBTL clip from 2008 about lady bits. In 2016 we still may not agree on how to pronounce menstruation, but at least we’re all on the same page about Gillian Anderson and left-handed smoke-shifters. And pie. We all love pie. This episode features a clip from December 1, 2008, hour three of TBTL. Be sure to check out Linh Pham’s Wait Wait stats page at wwdt.me, and Brigid’s Instagram page!

Between the start of Bundt Cake Month in Stickabutter Studios, and a football/birthday party about to start in the Mahan Banquet Center, Ann and Meredith kick off our latest TBTL Week in Review by making Bobby hungry. Appetites, however, are quickly lost thanks to talk about Trump, toilets and the Five-Second Rule—just in time to avoid eating Din Tai Fung leftovers, hotel room coffee and a big bag of Dick’s. But since we don’t want Misha Collins or flea market “Hue” Jackman to think we’re fat, we’ll probably just stick to biting sprinkler water. In her inaugural AnnRant™, Ann reminds us not to be so quick to judge Luke, Andrew (or Matt Damon), and to consider the source before you sharpshoot. Less thoughtfully, Bobby reminds everyone (well, someone anyway) that if TBTL isn’t for you, there are plenty of other podcasts out there. And Meredith reminds us there are there are many, many great words to describe Stately Hot Dog Casing Donald Trump. Here’s the article Bobby (via Luke) referenced on 1,000 True Fans.

The nights are getting cool, the leaves are starting to turn, and that means it’s time for us to head back to school. Christy and Ann are back at it again with the monthly clip show, ready to take a deep dive into the school experiences of Luke, Jen and Andrew, as well as hash out a few of our own educational grievances. We listen in disbelief to some Jesus Creek horror stories, reminisce about school lunches (or the lack thereof), shake our heads at some true “Oh, Andrew” moments, and giggle over Luke’s fashion mishaps. Plus, we start a list of people who’ve got it coming and make the first plans for the LRB book club. It’s going to be a thing, people!

Bobby, Meredith and Ann order their custom LRB sportball jerseys, steal that bag of hot Duke’s sausages that wouldn’t scan, and take a call from “Microsoft” about the “virus” on their “computer” in your latest TBTL Week in Review. We’re all a little rough from the free in-flight champagne, but it’s all good because we can tell who the king is based on the size of his candy bar, and Angela Lansbury seems to have a lot going on in the lifestyle department. This week’s hot takes will go down smooth like a bag of Trader Joe’s jerky, and then burn like that same bag of Trader Joe’s jerky.

Grab your 7-11 bananas, don your ripped t-shirt from 1979 and hit the ‘down’ button on the elevator: it’s time for all you sneaky snakes to slither out for some smokes and make some questionable life decisions. This week, Mike and Ann are joined by TBTL ‘B-list celebrity’ and public radio pledge drive lover Shanna Gratton Demke to talk about receiving pizza in the mail, the joys of life in Texas, and Six Degrees of North Dakotans. Then we go back in time to the TBTL Chicago live show where the irrepressible Sean DeTore shares the story of a very dubious post-show nighttime excursion.

Startled from falling asleep to Teletubbies again? Join Ann, Mike and Bobby in Ann’s Therapy Corner, where an A is an F, a C is and A, and watching the TV in your Fiero is no problem because you’ve got a police escort from the stadium direct to your impractically hip hotel. So drown your picnic FOMO in forest Eggos and Augustus Gloop fantasies. Plus, Mike likely screwed some ESL students working on their US citizenship in the late ‘80s, and Ann quit her night job and bought a purple Shark. Because if you can’t go crazy with your vacuum color, than what can you do?  

Grab your travel mug of white wine and your fresh-ass backpack, because it’s time to follow Meredith, Bobby and Phyllis Fletcher back to September 2008 for a two-clip phlashback that will make you love Jen and Jason more than you already do. (If that’s possible.) Jason commits a fashion faux pas, Jen abides, and we all learn valuable lessons. Plus, our own drinking-on-the-job stories, hot takes on the abysmal state of public schools, and one of us was recently touched inappropriately at a semi-public pool. Will finding out which one of us it was surprise you? Si señor(e)! This episode includes clips from TBTL episodes 171 (Monday, Sept. 15, 2008) and 175 (Friday, Sept. 19, 2008).  

String cheese wrappers? Check. Authentic teriyaki? Check. Blend of 11 secret herbs and spices? Check.  Enough alcohol to float 1500 Michiganders to Canada? Check. We’re ready for another round of TBTL: The Week That Was. In this episode, Mike, Ann and Meredith talk about, among other things, the extreme hotness of Justin Trudeau, why no one feels sorry for Nick Denton, and how to learn to look at yourself in pictures without dying inside. Plus, we hear all the dirty details from last Friday’s Texas LRB meetup (which I’m referring to as The Debauchery in Dallas, because I can), including steaks, dog behavior and Mike’s manspreading.

  Ann and Christy are joined by PRO-fessional podcaster Naomi Hillyard to talk about TBTL picnics past and future, the evergreen strangeness of Randy Quaid, and drinking The Kraken at the TBTL Summer Slam 2 Electric Boogaloo. Then we head back to 2010 for a clip where Luke (and Jen, by way of Skype) visit Sean’s apartment to check out what’s in his fridge, get the story on a dispute with his upstairs neighbor, and discuss Tila Tequila’s unfortunate treatment at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Additionally, Jen laments her fashion choices in the face of physical activity and shares the circumstances under which she got competitive with “European” children. Oh, and everyone should check out Naomi’s podcast, The Sunday Morning Experience. It’s a fan show about CBS Sunday Morning. (A show about a show? What kind of weirdos would be into something like that??) 

Luke’s back! Luke’s back! And look what he brought us: some peach Fresca, a vacation “beard” and a Bay Kitty (Kittens! Inspired by kittens!)! Last week’s TBTL was chock full of news and notes, and Mike, Meredith and Ann are ready to cover it all. On the docket for discussion: Luke’s relief that he’s been eating the low-carb almonds, Andrew’s chances of qualifying for the Popsicle®-eating Olympics, and whether “Brian Latke” is a dummy or just dumb (can’t he be both?). Over on the LRB front, Mike’s exercising his cheapskate ways while visiting The Island of Lost Groceries, Meredith wants to know if anyone shares her paper product scarcity paranoia, and Ann tries valiantly to defend the practicality of the space program (Jeremy, WE NEED YOU!).

It’s time to rinse and spit, as Christy and Ann get together to conduct an examination of the dental experiences of TBTL hosts past and present. We’ll hear the epic story of ol’ Barnacle Mouth Burbank, wonder where Jen gets her impressive supply of prescription drugs, and ponder what those poky gum test numbers Andrew’s so proud of actually mean. Plus, the only radio show that considers it good content to have its producer come to work high as a kite, and the best (or worst?) lies to tell your hygienist. Remember, if you fall up the stairs just let everybody know that it’s okay because you took a Xanax.

Our vagabond friend may not have been able to score us any whiskey, but Meredith, Bobby and Ann have loaded up on Sucrets®-flavored slushies cut on the dais, and are ready to recap your latest week of TBTL. Together, we find out that StuBot has a great radio voice, Sean DeTore has a conveniently located Dumpster, and Aaron Roden is “woke,” whatever that means. Plus, misadventures in music, fertility talk where the rubber hits the road, and the story of how the Salieri of Software got her groof back. Seriously, thanks for all the recent donations, Wagoneers. Tonight we’re lighting a gratitude-scented candle in your honor that we bought from a clerk with a masters’ degree.

Straight from Papa Q’s English No. 1 Playlist, Mike pours salt in his FOMO wounds by coaching Team LRB—Christy, Jeremy*, Bobby and Meredith—through the HolmesGetsWise All Around, including Freestyle Dive Bowling, the Hotel Room Bundle Dash, and the highly anticipated Triathlon of Cake. Plus, medal ceremonies for Wedding Toast Synchronized Drinking, a 5-year-old’s flawless floor routine, and one host’s breakout success in High Fencing. Note: Things do get a little emotional, and as a result, the entire men’s field was disqualified from the ~90-minute Holdinyourtearsathon. *While generally disqualified from LRB events, Jeremy was allowed to participate in this episode because, like the IOC, we are extremely corrupt. On an unrelated note, thanks for the recent donations!

Clear your Monday, because Mike, Ann and Bobby have won the raffle* and the neighborhood pool is ours for the day. Luke is on vacation, and according to Andrew’s caffeine intake, everything on the TBTL lot must go! Plus, Vieves’ job is awesome, Sean’s terrariums are suspect, and the Aryan Mason’s hobby is indefensible. So put your arms under your shoulders, chug some garbage milk, and keep your Shrek-like hands out of your small, small mouth, because there aren’t any locks on the studio doors, and anything could happen.  *moderated by PricehelpyourselfCoopers

Phyllis Fletcher joins Mike for a one on one episode where they play and discuss a clip from the radio days in 2008. Luke has his HS girlfriend on to talk about the proms they attended, then Jen tells the story of the bizarre junior/senior banquet at Jesus Creek. Then Phyllis and Mike swap stories about their own prom experiences. Also, Christy's future in Seattle politics is discussed.

Break out your 90’s fashion, rev up your awesome minivan, and refresh your knowledge of speed stacking as Mike and Ann are joined by special guest co-host and Texas firecracker Hillary Livingston Butler for this week’s TBTL Week in Review. We’re defending suburbia, trying to remain calm about alphabetical picnic details, and shaking our heads over Luke’s continued ability to avoid completing his Thrive process. We also learn new and interesting things about all three of our hosts, although Mike’s totally wins (the second one, not the first one).

Hop in your New Dodge and turn up your podcatcher—Meredith, Bobby and special guest Stu the StuBot Newman (#10imperfectsips) present selections from a special summer jamz (with a z) playlist sure to make you the coolest kid at the Hector Community Pool. One thing is for sure: This is NOT your Grandpappy Walsh’s Song of the Summer. All of the songs featured on today’s show (plus many more we didn’t have time to talk about) are available on our LRB Summerjamz Spotify playlist.

Get that Don’t Be Radicchio™ Salad ready and don’t forget the side of freshly over-crisped cheese crisps—this week’s LRB Week in Review is sure to work up an appetite. Bobby, Meredith and Mike try to remember who used which towel, pick up some sweet moves from a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man (that they may or may not think is on fire), and learn to never get in a feud with a man who writes revenge raps for a (small portion of his, we hope) living. Plus: Tangent TV talk, a stupid pet name, why dress codes matter, and a passing mention of a song contest run by a guy who celebrates the music of Donovan, and a guy who just did a 180° on Canadian pseudo-reggae 2014 hit abomination “Rude.”

Namaste, friends. This week, Ann and Mike are finding inner peace and tranquility under the guidance of Bay Area Ten and yoga instructor Megan Keane. Unfortunately, in today’s TBTL clip peace and tranquility are in short supply, as Luke’s Big Dog strains at the leash after a prolonged and frustrating run-in with the KIRO IT department. Tensions run high in the studio as Andrew tries (mostly unsuccessfully) to diffuse the situation. Then we witness the birth of an important TBTL institution.

Make sure your phone is fully charged, you’re wearing comfy shoes, and that you watch where you’re going, because it’s time to join Jigglypuff, Meowth and Abra—I mean Ann, Meredith and Christy—for an all-ladies edition of LRB. Although the week was dominated by TBTL Pokémon Expedition 2016, we have plenty of other topics to talk about, including expensive food, cat management, well-meaning but essentially clueless Canadian singers, and guys who get creepy with hairstylists. Also, Meredith reveals a genius idea for her new life as a criminal mastermind and Christy asks whether it would be weird to show up unannounced at Andrew’s apartment.

Ah, summer. The kids are out of school, the pool is ready to go, and hot, hazy days are followed by warm, breezy evenings.  What could be better than a beer, a brat and a ballgame? Mike and Ann are ready to roll back the roof at Safeco Field and talk a little baseball. TBTL baseball, that is. We’ve compiled a collection of clips that involve going to the game, getting on the field, hanging out with Ten friends, and one unfortunate story that probably still has Andrew waking up in a cold sweat.  We promise you don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy this one.

Mike “You’d Make a Good Santa” Frizzell, Ann “ecstatic ex-president” Lundholm and Meredith “Texas Memorabilia” Mahan take a break from their PBS special of scavingly brilliant political satire to unjam the LRB Roomba in your latest TBTL Week in Review. Could Luke be the new Charles Kuralt? Could Mike be the new Steve Nelson? Could Phil Collins be the new Duff? All this, and Song of the Summer: There can only be three. This episode sponsored by Mike’s Seattle Marines MasterCard.

Chicago- and Gay Ten Kim Marsin joins Bobby and Mike for a look back at a heartfelt conversation from 2012, in which Luke and Andrew talk about bullying thanks to an unexpected segue from comic strips. We also dive into how TBTL handles politics and tragic events like the recent Pulse Night Club shooting in Orlando. On a lighter note, Bobby and Kim both just officiated weddings, and Andrew suggests that it probably didn’t take long for Tom Hanks to spike that damn volleyball in the bone zone. Be sure to listen to the end for a bonus story from Mike about the only time he was bullied by someone other than his brother. And after you’re done, go listen to Melissa Etheridge’s song Pulse, and re-watch Erik Jagger’s animation of the classic “Oops the Dirty Monster” clip.

Join Bobby, Christy and Meredith on LRB’s soybean-bike-powered podvessel as they traverse terrible game fishing, navigate poor ethical decisions, and plunge through the depths of a “captain’s log” jam, if you know what I mean. Plus, Christy is punchy, Bobby is making popovers, and Meredith has a martini strategy she can teach you next time someone else invites you over to her house on short notice. Oh, and spoiler alert: the internet loves adorable cats.

Sidle up to the fresh fruit bar, sip on a gender-specific portion of beer, then get ready to sprint away from those fireworks while you prepare yourself for a phun-philled Phyllis Phlashback edition of the show. After you listen back to Jen's last attempt at throwing a bridal shower way back in July of 2008, Phyllis, Mike, and Meredith regale you with stories of the best and worst parties they've ever attended. So be careful where you point that bottle of Champale and maybe think twice about swallowing that pill so you can help us figure out how to get this weird neighbor guy out of our backyard.

It’s time to stop debating cement vs concrete, poring over Pod Dog’s Instagram feed, and viewing questionable helicopter news crew footage, because  we’ve got this week’s roundup of last week’s TBTL. Christy, Mike and Ann are here to guide you through the ins and outs of another week of Luke’s questionable diet choices, Andrew’s ever-growing persnickety-ness, and the joy that is Phyllis Fletcher appreciating a well-made Bloody Mary. In other news, Mike has bugs, Christy had a bug, and Ann is bugged by the fact that Luke thinks Tchaikovsky is a Baroque composer.

In this long overdue look back, Mike and Bobby run their ironically and suspiciously crushed hands over the iPad from the ol’ LRB satchel, and dial up Bobby’s personal favorite TBTL episode pick. It’s a double shot of troubling realizations from 2012, with Luke literally waking up stranded in Wedgwood with no memory of how he got there, and an update on the demise of insufferable sensationalist Mike Daisey. Simply put, it’s a kind of magic. This Friday episode of Little Red Bandwagon features nearly all of TBTL episode 1040, DaiseyGate Continues!, which aired on Monday, March 19, 2012. For more about Bobby's fandom, go back to LRB Episode 3: Game of Thrones of Cards of House of Lies Of Cats: Trust No One.

Put down the welding goggles, because (stuff’s) about to get real. Mike, Meredith and Bobby (filling in for an ailing Christy) set the AC to 72 and tuck into a Bloody Mary for breakfast, a Bloody Mary for lunch and a sensible Heggie’s Pizza dinner in your latest TBTL Week in Review. Plus, a Mike health update, an Eddie genetic testing pupdate, and a take on Andrew’s fussy eating so hot the kids (and Stu) would call it “fire.”

  Gather ‘round, Everybody, and join Christy and Ann as they take a magical mystery tour into the mind of Japan’s #1 Mixer and TBTL’s beloved sidekick Sean DeTore. We cover a range of DeTore-appropriate subjects, including how to make money through questionable means, when you should visit the doctor or risk permanent damage, what to do to get cast on a reality cooking show, and at what point you’ve probably ruined your relationship with your neighbors. Today’s episode is brought to you by the letters A (for junk apparatus), S (for suppurating wound) and C (for chèvre). Remember, we can’t say we LOVE you, but we can say we LIKE you a lot.

Strap on your FitBit, crack a can of Trader Joe’s wine, and put that cup in your Levi’s—Bobby, Ann and Meredith are rushing animal style to get in their steps while reviewing last week’s TBTL. Daytime Emmy Award Winner Luke got thrown out of a house of worship, feel-good comedy archetype Andrew managed to keep intermediate potty training at arms’ length, someone is wearing a tote bag, and Ann hopes that someone is Kai Ryssdal. Use this episode as a distraction during your Live Show afterglow bath, especially if that’s what it takes to keep you from writing TBTL slash fiction. Reminder: If you haven’t donated to this year’s TBTL-a-Thon yet, stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW and go to TBTL.net to show your support. Unless you’re currently operating on someone, or flying an airplane. (You know who you are.)

Is your refrigerator running? Don’t ask The Mummy, because he doesn’t have one. Easthamp-Ten Corey Plucker joins Bobby and Ann for a look back at a TBTL Twofer—Andrew’s teenage love for making prank calls, and Luke playing a KIRO interview with purported tiny house movement enthusiast Isaac “The Mummy” Vicknair. Coincidentally, Corey’s favorite TBTL drop sounds a lot like the exact reason you should never, ever, EVER enter The Mummy’s tiny house unannounced. Bonus: Stay tuned after the episode for  Embers, a song by Corey’s band Trails off the EP Never Mind The Mountain, which is available on Bandcamp.

Bobby, Christy and Meredith host their final episode of Little Red Bandwagon from an awkwardly abrasive middle school stairwell before moving over to make room for new lead host Kyle Mooney in your latest TBTL Week in Review. On the scale of relevant references, this week of TBTL was slightly more satisfying than a bag of parsnip chips, and slightly less satisfying a heartily salted slice of pizza. You’ll be moderately chuffed. Oh, and Luke won an Emmy. (Well, a Daytime Emmy.)   This TBTL Week in Review recaps episodes 2130 (rerun of Cereal special), 2131 (parsnip chips, chips debate, salting pizza, sunscreen), 2132 (Emmy, Encyclopedia Brown – see Why it Matters ep. 868, bachelorette parties), 2133 (dishwashers, Kyle Mooney, chuffed, Real World) and 2134 (Mariners comeback, tronc, kid left on mountain in Japan, scooter).

Dim the lights, put on a movie, and prepare for a shoulder rub—Phyllis, Mike and Bobby aren’t sending any mixed messages in your latest TBTL Phletch Phlashback. We listen back to one of Andrew’s most awkward childhood romance stories (that we’ve heard to date, at least) and then share some of our own. It turns out boys are either nervous (Mike), oblivious (Bobby) or the worst (Ryan). Plus, First Takes on camping hotter than a hot dog cooked in a possibly illegal chiminea.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard LRB Airlines Flight 120, with service to Seattle and continuing on to Chicago.  We have a few safety announcements we’d like to make before departure. First, please ensure that any electronic devices for combating moles are turned off, as they cannot be used in flight. Second, ghost apps are not reliable indicators of spectral activity, so don’t believe the four-star ratings. Third, there will be a surprising amount of MN Twins nostalgia on this flight; remember to drink your cheeseburger-topped Bloody Marys and gently guide your opponent off the bag. Finally, no matter how misty-colored your memories are, those Clark and Lewis radio spots probably aren’t as good as you remember. Please enjoy the trip – it’s our pleasure to serve you!

Perfect Colorado Ten and TBTL Science Council diehard James McCracken catches a case of the munchies as he joins Mike and Meredith for a Cooking with Sean classic: Prisine. Grab a sip of Toilet Tanqueray, wash it down with a spot-on cup of coffee from our guest’s pristine brewer, and listen back to what some good ol’ incarcerated ingenuity can do with canned mackerel, Cheez-Its® and a hot plate. (Warning: Trying this in your home radio studio may result in angry drivetime colleagues. Please ventilate accordingly.)

Bobby, Mike and Meredith take a break from their quixotic romp through Edmonds for your latest TBTL Week in Review, chock full of things you probably don’t want to Google. Plus, disconnected plumbing plagues both Mike (literally) and Meredith’s puppy Eddie (figuratively). But at least we’ve sold enough LRB stickers for the crane shot. Bonus: Producer Jeremy got in touch with the ashtray collectors mentioned this week on TBTL, and interviewed them for his and Christy’s podcast, Nerd Out Loud. Check out a clip from their chat at the end of today’s show!

Dear Students, The school year is drawing to a close, and we’re about ready to grab our towels and beach reads, grill up some burgers and dogs (hot dogs, that is) and make the most of these dreamy summer days. However, it’s come to our attention that some of you are a bit rusty on your TBTL knowledge, and we’re going to need you to rectify that before we can pass you on to the next grade. Luckily, Ann and Christy are here to teach a refresher course on the history of some important TBTL terms. So grab a #2 pencil and be sure to show your work, because partial answers will get zero credit.

Bobby, Miss Christy and Miss Ann saddle up with Diamond, Champ, Rocky and I Forget for four-and-a-half pounds of steak and a side of unsellable potato art in your latest TBTL Week in Review. Remember: Keep the armrest down, be careful where you stick that Dyson, and Republicans are people, too. Oh, and either go vegan, or at least check those eggs carefully. Bonus: Listen through to the end for Linh Pham’s supercut of every time the guys used the M-word in Tuesday’s show. (Which M word? Think great cake and terrible everything else.) If you don’t hate him and us by the end of it, check out other gems isolated from TBTL at marsupialgurgle.com.

Join Meredith, Bobby and MichiTen Dawn Hafner for a long overdue road trip from the Windsor Ballet all the way down to an Airbnb well south of Marfa, with eyes out for Bigfoot the whole way. Thankfully, we’ve all got our emergency car kits packed, and we see how they stack up against Jen Flash Andrews’ setup from 2008. So when you injure yourself trying to play Suwannee River on your armpits, we’ll be ready with bandages, Advil, snacks and liquor. Note: We tried to record this episode months ago, but audio problems caused catastrophic failure. While there is no evidence it was Mike’s fault, he wasn’t on this time around and it worked just fine. Just sayin’. (Bobby)

Ann, Meredith, Christy and Bobby brew a fresh pot of hotel room coffee, strap the LRB Bluetooth speaker to a Roomba, and pile into a 1988 Ford Tempo (or was it a Topaz?) to bring you your latest TBTL Week in Review. Get ready for an ear volcano of insight, because we’re burning through hot takes faster than the government burns through batteries. Plus, we didn’t loan our recorder to Fay Canale. As mentioned on this episode: Nerd Out Loud #93: Is That A Face Tattoo Or A Birthmark? Takedown Podcast #66: Tinder is the Night

Mike, Fletch and Bobby roll down their jeans, get in a few miffs, and take a Phyllis Phaves Phlashback to May 2008 for a very special pre-Mother’s Day radio show edition of TBTL featuring Luke, Jen, Sean, and more importantly, their moms. Plus, reflections on our own moms and childhoods. It’s the perfect soundtrack for an adolescent mail heist and subsequent car chase.

Hey, Everybody! It’s time to round up your stolen monkey, activate your squirrel call (but don’t hug your dog) and join Mike, Ann, Meredith and Christy as they review TBTL: The Week That Was. In this episode, a discussion on the finer points of trench digging, why Beyoncé can say anything she damn well pleases, and Meredith makes the ultimate sacrifice. Plus, our advance recon for the upcoming TBTL live show. So hurry up and finish your one-minute workout, because the Bamboo Lady could arrive at any moment.

It’s a Little Red Bandwagon family reunion. Christy is back (!) and fills us in on her wedding and mini-moon. Mike retraces the story of his move and Emily’s health. Meredith’s pupdate and Bobby’s work life seem extremely less significant in this context. Plus, a special Song of Ice and No Spoilers—plugs and praise for shows we’re watching that aren’t Jonesin’ for a Thronesin.

Join Bobby, Ann, Meredith and Mike nestled safely inside the pastrami delivery area but beyond the Dyson Airblade splatter zone for your latest TBTL Week in Review. We may not use more batteries than the federal government, but we guarantee we’ll show you more love than the pair of AAAs at the other end of a certain podcarter’s bearded lip-whispers. Plus, if your foot’s cold, Meredith’s got a bag you can slip it into—just try not to spill her little bottles of Sun Sauce.  

Mike and Ann are joined by Nick Armes, hospitality professional, Civilization lover, and quite possibly one of the nicest guys ever to wear an Imperial Officer’s uniform. We get the lowdown on Detroit pizza, Nick’s TBTL tattoo, and no-fail strategies for romancing the ladies. Then we take a trip down memory lane to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, to 2012 in the Mt Baker neighborhood of Seattle), and listen to Andrew battle his fear of heights while Luke makes inarticulate sounds of glee with every overhead pass of the famous Blue Angels. Today’s clip originally aired on August 2nd, 2012.
