TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live

LUKE IS BACK FROM SUMMER VACATION!

Phyllis "Fletch" Fletcher stops by the studios of Walsh, Walsh and Doormat to take a housecleaning quiz, to ponder the career of LL Cool J, and to explain why you never should follow a co-worker into a basement. Plus, we solve an OPP (Other Person's Problem) and share some Music For Your Weekend.

Phyllis "Fletch" Fletcher joins Andrew in the sweltering studios of Walsh, Walsh and Doormat to talk about amazing birds, Howard Stern, and how to beat the heat, P-Fletch style. They also play a vigorous round of Google Feud, which ends up making them sad about everything.

Luke, Camero Kev and their friend Newman join the show from a moving Kia Optima on their way to the lake for a boys weekend. Andrew is back in Wallingford, pretending it's okay that he wasn't invited. They discuss the haircut Luke gave himself last night and the gross truth about chlorinated swimming pools.

Luke and Andrew try to retroactively fix yesterday's show with their patented Post-Spoof Technology. They also get trapped in a complicated web of time and space in which baseball games get very randy, apparently.

Luke dazzles us with some details about the creation of Spinal Tap and why the brilliant people behind the film only earned tens of dollars. Plus, what exactly does the TBTL Handbook say about swearing and music on this podcast? And a listener has a pest problem that's really more of a relationship issue.

Things get a little weird (and oddly rappy) on this Wednesday (or possibly Tuesday?) edition of TBTL.

Luke and Andrew find themselves waking up in Boise, Idaho, where they've parked their RV in the back yard of listener Sarah. They discuss the long journey ahead of them on day two of the TBTL-a-Thon roadtrip. They also discuss the best dog in the world and the worst flag in the country.

Luke and Andrew set-out on their epic RV road trip to Austin, Texas, and kick-off the 2017 TBTL-a-Thon.

And a listener is concerned about the ads he's seeing on Facebook (and what they might mean for his marriage.)

The big TBTL road trip is now only days away, and Luke and Andrew are getting nervous. Luke has a plan to eat healthy and get some exercise on the way to Austin. Andrew has a plan to eat beef sticks. Plus: Japanese auto racing announcers go nuts at the Indy 500. And Luke tries to solve the age old mystery: Was Alanis Morrissette really singing about Dave Coulier in that one song?
