Description

TBTL is a daily show hosted by two longtime friends goofing their way through the world the best they can.

Join Luke Burbank and Andrew Walsh as they cover the most important topics of the day, from 25 year-old film reviews to whether or not Andrew’s neighbors are secretly using his garbage bins.

Luke and Andrew set the record straight on a bear-related TBTL mishap. They also review some of the things they’re doing to bring good luck to the Mariners and some of the things they’re doing to avoid a jinx. 
Andrew heard “the most surprising radio commercial to air during a football game” yesterday, and he tries to get Luke to guess what it was. They also, of COURSE, talk a little baseball after their beloved Mariners’ historic weekend.
It’s family day on TBTL!  Luke’s brother, David From The Basement, joins the show to talk about serving the Mariner’s manager at a Seattle restaurant last night, on the eve of the biggest Ms game in decades. Then Luke’s mom, Susie B., pops in to answer your questions!

Luke missed most of the Mariners game yesterday; Andrew wasn’t so lucky. They also discuss a questionable TV commercial that seems to encourage human/buffalo romance and Luke’s childhood memories of running free through grocery stores and the neighborhood at large.  (Photo via u/Hothacon on Reddit)
Andrew had a complete freakout yesterday over a text he sent Luke. Meanwhile, Luke has been editing and re-editing his Yelp Review Of A Lifetime. And Andrew’s neighbor sent a carefully crafted note to the neighborhood email chain that he thinks he appreciates.

Luke is confused over the decision by the now-famous “Crying Mariners Fan” to wear a Savannah Bananas hat at an M’s playoff game. He and Andrew also discuss an A.I.-generated song that has both of them feeling uneasy and a Seattle Times Rant & Rave column for the ages.

Andrew and Luke wonder if they can emotionally and physically handle the Mariners’ playoff run. (Turns out they can, so long as a cute baby is involved.) They also discuss Luke’s potentially magical visit to the doctor and Andrew’s general grumpiness.

Andrew made a terrible discovery last night that is putting a huge damper on his plans to watch the Mariners’ playoff games. And Luke is once again offering unwanted feedback to his local newspaper, this time in the comments section.
Luke is going on a huge organizing bender, and even he wonders if it’s gone too far. He and Andrew also discuss public radio production rules, hearts of palm, and politically-coded outdoor furniture.

Luke just composed “the Yelp review of a lifetime!” after some shady shenanigans by the world’s grumpiest HVAC company. He and Andrew also discuss One Battle After Another in detail now that they’ve both seen it. (They save the movie talk for the very end of the show, with plenty of warnings for listeners who want to avoid spoilers. Movie talk begins about one hour and twenty minutes into the podcast.) 
Andrew narrowly avoided getting into a fight in a barroom bathroom this weekend. Luke somehow slipped into a wormhole and lost a chunk of time in the Portland airport. And a listener’s dog learns to play the blues.  Photo Credit: Eflon on Flickr

Luke and Andrew discuss the pros-and-cons of optimism as it relates to both the Mariners, who had a historic win last night, and Jimmy Kimmel, who returned to the airwaves after his controversial and misguided suspension. 
Luke and Andrew discuss their respective journeys looking for the perfect bathroom cups. They also discuss Jimmy Kimmel's return to the (some) airwaves tonight, and Luke’s new theory about the FCC. 
Andrew is back after a long week away. He and Luke catch up on the most scintillating aspects of TBTL production, an amazing sports weekend for Seattle fans, and the saddest sign you can see on the door of a hotel conference room. 
David from the basement stops by to defend the honor of the Fall Season, while Luke frets about an upcoming boat adventure.
TBTL Producer Emeritus Jen Andrews stops by to talk weighted vests, EMMY bits, and tinned fish lunatics.
