This Show Has Everything

Hey gang, we’re ten minutes late for a hike, but Mike, Ann, and Hillary have managed to squeeze in a TBTL recap while simultaneously charging our phones and looking at the map. Mike’s perfecting his new Cardio Rage™ workout. Hillary’s upset that the Easter Bunny is getting unearned credit. Ann’s family cabin is the setting of the CW’s hottest new teen show. Plus, turtle fights, how to get the most out of the Game of Thrones dragons, the strange hunkiness of Tom Hanks, and the etiquette of nut-punching. Please enjoy the calls of the wild canterkoopies and kooperberrys that we’ve piped into the broadcast. Sorry about all the dong talk.

Bobby, Meredith and Mike are running ragged, but rally to recap the (few) highlights from the latest week of TBTL. On the upside, Meredith’s money pit seems to finally be full (or at least dry),  Mike has an idea for a version of karaoke that plays to his strengths, and Bobby’s big season finale at work was almost as rousing as the church service happening next to his office during the recording. We probably should have talked more about Luke and Andrew, but we were too busy daydreaming about a pickle sandwich, and breaking down neck-knife statistics. Feel free to send us emails telling us why we’re right or wrong, and we’ll be sure to cherry-pick a few to share that make us feel good about ourselves. Nebula of the Day submissions are also welcome.

Hillary, unfortunately, couldn’t get her setup working for today’s show. But based on what we did manage to hear, she should be receiving a new birthday laptop anytime now.

We were going to do a new show this week, but the 6 inches of April snow pretty much sent Ann over the edge. Instead, we’re pretending it’s a normal spring, where we don’t have to shovel out the stadium before the game. This episode originally aired on July 16th, 2016.

Here’s the original write-up:

Ah, summer. The kids are out of school, the pool is ready to go, and hot, hazy days are followed by warm, breezy evenings.  What could be better than a beer, a brat and a ballgame? Mike and Ann are ready to roll back the roof at Safeco Field and talk a little baseball. TBTL baseball, that is. We’ve compiled a collection of clips that involve going to the game, getting on the field, hanging out with Ten friends, and one unfortunate story that probably still has Andrew waking up in a cold sweat.  We promise you don’t need to be a sports fan to enjoy this one.

Hey nerds, geeks, dorks, and dweebs! Join Ann, Hillary, and Mike as we recap this week’s TBTL. We discuss the reveal of the 10th(?) TBTL-a-Thon (aka the worst kept secret), a trip to Oz! Will Luke and Andrew survive a journey through the outback? TBD! Also, your hosts air some personal grievances, including Hillary’s new work nemesis and Ann’s choir enemy. Additionally, Mike schools us on prison electronic usage, Hillary reveals a story about rollerblades that is both embarrassing and completely on brand, and Ann mourns the demise of a potential wedding venue. Take a listen and we promise not to do any April Fools’ Day quizzes, all right? Cool beans!!

Climb aboard your rental Penny-farthing and get ready to see the sites because Bobby, Ann and Mike are somehow back together again unsupervised, and this tour isn’t stopping until we find an Arby’s, an L’RB’s, or a Terence Trent D'Arby. We’ll be making stops to hear about Mike’s pro-cheese politics, what has Ann fired up (note: not fire’d up) about Blaze Pizza, and why Bobby is allowed to say whatever he wants about cultural appropriation. Also, non-expert bong talk, suit-and-shoe etiquette, “Adonis” Morissette, the fine line between feeding and “foie gras-ing,” and some talk of last week’s TBTL.

Please don’t DM us on Twitter to be on your podcast.*

On this Final Friday show the gang has gathered around the ol’ microphone to hang out, talk turkey, and debate the correct amount of melatonin to give your kids (and mothers-in-law?) before bed. Up first, we peruse the contents of the mailbag, which spark discussions regarding the appeal of the Real Housewives franchises, airport crimes against humanity, the pitfalls of getting a variety pack of Seagrams, and the time Hillary got kicked out of a sorority formal. Then we revisit an old concept: #trypod. We’re in agreement that our podcatchers are significantly more crowded than we’d like, but, like all good addicts, we’re always ready for a hit of something new. We’ve chosen shows that inspire us, make us smarter, dial us into pop culture, and transport us to another world (not literally, because that would be terrifying).

Here are the podcasts we showcase:

Christy: Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls and Imagined Life

Meredith: Lexicon Valley (When Ain't Was All Right)

Bobby: Hit Parade (The Give Me a Sign Edition)

Mike: The Rewatchables (Forrest Gump)

Hillary: Who? Weekly (Who's There: Suge J. Knight & Andy King?)

Ann: Wolf 359 (Episode 2: Little Revolución)
