December 30, 2016 10:43 - 1 hour - 45.6 MBIn the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live.

December 24, 2016 15:19 - 58 minutes - 38.5 MBJoin 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.

LRB #178 (recap): All we want for Christmas is a three-hour transfer and a wacky T-shirt
December 19, 2016 06:17 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBLuke 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...

Episode #176 (Recap): Toilet Snakes & Travel Nightmares
December 12, 2016 05:17 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBPack 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 con...
#175 (look back): Butt Rock, Boinkers and BKAs
December 09, 2016 06:18 - 1 hour - 39.6 MBGrab 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.
Episode #174 (recap): Little Red Bandwagon for December 5, 2016
December 05, 2016 03:59 - 1 hour - 53.7 MBLittle Red Bandwagon podcast
#173 (Phyllis Phaves): A Phyllis Fletcher Double Decker December to Remember
December 02, 2016 04:43 - 1 hour - 43 MBPhan 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! ...
Episode #172 (recap): All of those episodes came from your bo-o-dy?
November 28, 2016 04:30 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBClimb 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!
#171 (special): Giving Thanks and Good Riddance
November 24, 2016 10:19 - 1 hour - 37.1 MBIt’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 s...
Episode #170 (recap): Two and a Half Hosts
November 21, 2016 02:15 - 1 hour - 81.3 MBMike, 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...
Episode #169 (Clip Show): Looking for Medina
November 18, 2016 14:50 - 1 hour - 35.6 MBBuckle 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 st...
Episode #168 (Recap): If Your Election Lasts For More Than Four Days….
November 14, 2016 04:50 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBMike, 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 Sea...
#167 (look back): “Hey guys! I’m on this branch!” with Eddy Maxwell
November 11, 2016 09:36 - 1 hour - 34.4 MBWorking 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, ...
#166 (recap): Mexican Feta and Emergency Champagne
November 07, 2016 04:08 - 1 hour - 71.2 MBTurn 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 H...
#165 (Phyllis Phaves): Origin Story
November 04, 2016 08:11 - 1 hour - 34.9 MBOn 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....
#164 (recap): If you like piña coladas, and getting caught being vain
October 31, 2016 02:14 - 1 hour - 45.8 MB¡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 c...
Episode #163 (Look Back): Turn Your Empathy Up to 11
October 28, 2016 04:23 - 1 hour - 40.9 MBHorticulturalist, 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 a...
#162 (recap): Close only counts in podcasts and hand grenade ladders
October 24, 2016 03:50 - 1 hour - 63.5 MBPop 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 microphon...
#161 (Clip Show): Begging for Candy
October 21, 2016 04:42 - 1 hour - 50 MBThe 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...
#160 (recap): Don’t wrap it up—we’ll stump-shape it
October 17, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 75.7 MBBobby, 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 overpric...
#159 (Look Back): Nicholas Sparks Is An Emotional Terrorist (with Katherine Damman)
October 14, 2016 05:58 - 1 hour - 53.3 MBOscars 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 ...
#158 (Recap): What A Piece Of Work Is Man
October 10, 2016 04:02 - 1 hour - 42 MBIt’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 to...
#157 (Phyllis Phaves): Consider the “Dombass”
October 07, 2016 03:21 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBThere’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 parki...
#156 (recap): RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Mike’s back!
October 03, 2016 03:40 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBHere! 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.)
#155 (this is special!): A Guy, Two Girls and a Pizza Podcast
September 30, 2016 03:26 - 39 minutes - 27 MBAnn 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 (...
Episode #154 (recap): It’s an Insecurity Heat
September 26, 2016 03:46 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBBobby, 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 fea...
Episode #153 (look back): How do you say awkward? (with Brigid Schabes)
September 23, 2016 04:00 - 49 minutes - 33.8 MBLive 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...
Episode #152 (Recap): Arbitrage 101 with Professor Blowyourmind
September 19, 2016 03:29 - 1 hour - 75.7 MBBetween 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...
#151: (Clip Show) Steve Buscemi’s Bully Lipstick List
September 16, 2016 05:56 - 2 hours - 56.1 MBThe 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, ...
#150 (Recap): A Green Soup Kits Kat Bender
September 12, 2016 05:48 - 1 hour - 62 MBBobby, 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 g...
#149 (Look Back): Showcase Hobos with Shanna Gratton Demke
September 09, 2016 06:11 - 1 hour - 33.7 MBGrab 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 sho...
#148 (Recap): A new vacuum in the left hand, Chris Sabo specs in the right
September 05, 2016 02:06 - 1 hour - 74.5 MBStartled 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...
Episode #147 (Phletch Phaves): Make Better Choices
September 02, 2016 04:10 - 1 hour - 52.6 MBGrab 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 inappropriatel...
Episode #146 (Recap): Manbang Mania
August 29, 2016 04:10 - 1 hour - 41 MBString 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 las...
#145 (Look Back): Chumming with Naomi Hillyard
August 26, 2016 07:31 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBAnn 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 th...
#144 (Recap): #notallswimmers
August 22, 2016 04:10 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBLuke’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 L...
#143 (Clip Show): Tooth Beavers and Mouth Herpes
August 19, 2016 07:27 - 1 hour - 43.6 MBIt’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 t...
#142 (Recap): “You Were My Once in a Lifetime"
August 15, 2016 02:31 - 1 hour - 70.7 MBOur 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 go...
#141 (special): The HolmesGetsWise Reception Recap
August 12, 2016 05:36 - 1 hour - 31.7 MBStraight 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...
Episode #140 (recap): Podcast, They Talked
August 08, 2016 02:13 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBClear 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 st...
#139: (Phletch Phaves) Save The Last Dance For LRB
August 05, 2016 08:20 - 1 hour - 43.4 MBPhyllis 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.
#138 (Recap): Thowback Throwdown

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.
#136 (Recap): Live from the Safeway on Lincoln!
July 25, 2016 04:15 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBGet 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 ...
#135 (Look Back): The Carrot Has Been Attempted
July 21, 2016 23:00 - 1 hour - 38 MBNamaste, 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 inst...
#134 (Recap): Gotta Catch ‘Em All
July 18, 2016 03:45 - 1 hour - 67 MBMake 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, Me...
#133 (Clip Show): Sliding Into a Standup Double
July 15, 2016 05:47 - 1 hour - 37 MBAh, 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 ...

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.
