Take This Lightly

Show number 50 has us feeling mighty fine. Brett’s got a birthday coming up. How should we celebrate? Strip clubs and Applebee’s desserts? Sure, sure. Smoked meats and dive bars? Yes, please. Find out how we fare on episode 51. Fallout 76 has polarized us. Machines are listening, so watch what you say. Fifty shows in and the cruise control is on. Thanks for riding along!

November is here, which brings Christmas early in the form of marijuana law reform. So we load a fat bowl of midterm election discussion today. Trolls be damned. Jeff takes Harley Quinn to Air Capital Comic Con. Brett ponders the inconvenience of his elderly dog. And Freddie Mercury is a golden god. All that and more, so let us entertain you!

Like a wild beast out of the woods, TTL appears. But it’s not a wild beast. It’s hoomans. Please don’t hurt them. ’Tis the season of metal and horror so here’s a pillow sack of both with which to pummel you. Brett wants to build a scary reputation in his neighborhood. Jeff wants better communication. At the end of the day, all the tricks are just treats in disguise. Happy Halloween!

Come take a look in this bag. It’s a tasty mix. We’re talking camping. We’re talking movies. We’re talking video games and cursing. The conversation is burning like a warm fire. Have a listen and warm yourself awhile. Brett definitely doesn’t drink pee.

// Jim James / Uniform Distortion / Yes to Everything / Over and Over

We’re back! Just about to catch up on all the stuff we’ve been neglecting. Of course, that’s when the dryer stops working and we’ve got to go to the laundromat. Plus, bluegrass festivals can be a lot of fun. And we talk SpaceX, Google Maps, Call of Duty, and more. Don’t miss!

// Billy Strings / Turmoil & Tinfoil / On The Line / These Memories Of You

Brett’s smoking fresh meat for the family. He’ll have none of that roasted chicken you’ve kept in your hot car all day. He gets weird about that. After dinner, we like to settle in with a good movie. Do you want twisted gorefest or exploding explosions? What does your inner child want? Plus, we check the temperature on the minidisc market. You’re welcome!

// The War On Drugs / A Deeper Understanding / Holding On / Strangest Thing

With ever-growing families, Brett and Jeff become uncles of new broods. That deserves a kiss on the mouth. What do we have to be embarrassed about? Don’t answer that. Plus, Jeff gets manic at the AMC. And if you don’t like cilantro, you won’t like my salsa kisses. Smooches!

Music // Jagwar Ma / Howlin / Come Save Me / What Love

It’s Sunnerday afternoon and time for TTL day drinking! Brett has his eyes on the car of the future. Jeff and his family geek out on music and movies. Plus, a real sinker of a float trip. All this magic and more awaits you this fortnight. Enjoy!

It’s all coming to an end. That new vacation smell has dissipated into cat droppings and stale smoke. We’re back to the grind and we don’t want to be. While Jeff has booze and Brett has toys, they also have each other. And that’s a lot.

Music // Nine Inch Nails / Bad Witch / Intro: Shit Mirror / Outro: Over and Out

The lawn is mowed. The show is up. Vacation begins at 4am. And Jeff still needs to pack everything. In other words, it’s a last-minute scramblefest. Luckily, we find some time to talk about male sex toys, E3, and our dreams for public transport of the future. Have a solid one!

Music // Tom Petty / Wildflowers / Intro: You Don’t Know How It Feels / Outro: It’s Good To Be King
