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.

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.

Luke checks-in from the Twin Cities, where he's going to farmers markets, alarming restaurant patrons, and writing strongly-worded letters to the editor.
