Tbtl- Too Beautiful To Live

Andrew wakes up to a flooded basement, and Luke falls down a 1987 NBA All-Star Game rabbit hole. Plus, has Luke’s dad become a menace to society?

Luke’s dad joins the show as he and Luke test the new water lines in Luke’s studio. Plus, Luke  had a heck of a time mixing concrete this weekend, and he had a heck of a time rooting for his Washington Huskies in a house full of Oregon Ducks fans. And Andrew’s thinking about getting some bowling shoes. 

Andrew is flabbergasted over something that happened during the show yesterday, and he’s astounded by a new A.I. function in his photo software. Luke wants to know if Doritos’ “crunch silences” really works, and if there’s a way to test it on-air. 

Andrew tells a “quick” story about the lengths he went through to talk to someone at his bank yesterday. He and Luke also stumble on a song about Tacoma that they never knew existed and that has surprising origins.

Luke’s solution to heating his cold studio has led to some broadcast challenges. Plus, Google Maps sent a long line of drivers down a dirt path to nowhere, which led Luke down a long path towards the most irritating sound ever recorded. 

Luke was almost cyber-attacked within an inch of his life this morning, and Andrew wants alllll the details. They also say farewell to Seattle’s favorite weather reporter, Steve Pool, who helped inspire Luke’s broadcast dreams.   

Genevieve swings by TBTL to weigh-in on some of the recent “Rants and Raves” sent in by Seattle Times readers and to dissect Reader’s Digests’ tips on "how to get along with anyone."

Andrew ushers in the holiday with a special beverage and a weird tangent about peeing outdoors. He and Luke also discuss so-called “Brown Friday”, a new holiday created by the plumbing industry and lazy journalists.

Luke’s family is scrambling to adjust to a new Thanksgiving reality after a hot water tank blew in the basement of his parents’ house. But Andrew’s plans are locked in tight, and he couldn’t be happier about them.

Luke gets some breaking, almost cinematic news about his Thanksgiving Day plans moments before he was supposed to leave for his parents’ house. Now the big question is where he’ll be spending the holiday. He and Andrew also take a Washington Post quiz to see if they’re more like Boomers or Millennials in the workplace. 

Luke ventured into a tavern that really bummed him out yesterday. Andrew is mad at the media for falling for Snoop Doggy Dog’s latest promotional gimmick. And a young Ten helps TBTL with modern slang. 

Luke had a long, draining weekend working a video shoot for a mysterious software company in the greater Seattle area. He also fondly recalls the time he had the opportunity to spend a day with Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter. 

Luke joins Andrew in the studios of Walsh, Walsh and Doormat to discuss bathroom etiquette and to open packages sent in by listeners in TBTL’s patented “What’s In The Box” segment.   

Luke drove a “mystery car” up to Seattle this morning to record TBTL at Andrew’s place. They discuss a follow-up to the story of the drug-loving New Yorker who stumbled on a Chuck Close painting and hoped it was valuable. 

The amount of activity at Luke’s house is reaching peak levels. While waiting for his new washer and dryer to arrive, he and Andrew discuss the oft-overlooked musical career of Dragnet’s Jack Webb. 

A horse got loose on an airplane, the TBTL merch store got its first customer, and Luke and Andrew got absolutely floored by a listener’s story about a mysterious “mad pooper” caught on camera!

TBTL Senior VP of T-Shirt Design and Giant Hats Jon Sklaroff joins the show to announce the official opening of the TBTL merch store! Plus, an announcement on Luke’s family text chain has Luke and his siblings scratching their heads. 

After failing to identify the slang used by today’s youth, Andrew quizzes Luke on the lingo used on the TV show Dragnet. They also discuss the inaccurate news about Jared Leto “climbing” the Empire State Building.

Luke quizzes Andrew on some modern slang used by the youth of America. And Luke learns that the documentary he went to great lengths to watch this week had been free on YouTube the whole time. 

Andrew is trying to get his dart game back on track, mostly by making Luke take over his TBTL responsibilities. Plus, cats apparently have over 300 facial expressions, even Dusty “The Cat Burglar” Cat.
