This Show Has Everything

In the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live. That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this episode Christy and Mike are joined by friend, former roommate, and the person that picked Mike up from Jail, Barbara Arrowsmith. 

The clip in this show is from the 3rd hour of TBTL Jan 20th, 2009. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285)

Interview with Christy, Mike, and Barb begins at about 37:00 in.

Luke may have talked his way out onto international waters, but that won’t stop Bobby, Ann and Meredith (along with their fully intact lawn furniture) from talking through the latest week of TBTL. In fact, we loved approximately four or five (depending on how you count ‘em) of this week’s guest hosts, though only one of them is our *interim* favorite (hint, hint). So don your pristine nightgown, shuffle whatever papers you’ve got, note that LRB officially has enough passport stories for a future clip show now, and remember: the less you accidentally/on purpose say, the less you accidentally/on purpose regret. Also, we know Eddie is a gentleman in the house and a freak in the streets, but we’re working on it.

In the winter of 2009, Michael Andrew Frizzell sat down with Luke Burbank and Jen Andrews of the nighttime radio show Too Beautiful To Live. That interview series has now become one of the most popular interview segments in TBTL history. Nine years later, we're going to re-package these episodes with brand new material, inside interviews, and a few special surprises. In this inaugural episode of the series Christy and Mike are joined by Bill Radke, reporter and longtime friend of Mike to talk about how it all began.  The clip in this show is from the 3rd hour of TBTL Jan 19, 2009*. If you have questions for Mike please email them to [email protected], tweet us @LRBPodcast, or leave a VM (802) 432-TBTL (8285) Interview with Christy, Mike, and Bill Radke begins at about 38:50 Note: *Christy said the interview was from 1/9/9 but it's actually 1/19/09

Pack your 7-11 cartons of gum, grab your bootleg copy of 30 Rock, don’t forget your robot doll: it’s time for a new episode of LRB! The gate agents didn't hold the plane, so Mike, Meredith and Ann pile into the Chevy Aveo for the TBTL Week in Review. We refuse to pay it forward at Starbucks, but we might buy some knockoff Michael Jordan shoes (hey, it’s not stealing until you leave the store). Mike wants Meredith to make a veritable Sophie’s choice, while Ann refuses to make eye contact with that cute coworker. It’s a pretty tight squeeze, but at least we’re not flying Continental.

Grab your spandex and grow your hair out, because Mike Frizzell, Wagoneer Michelle Zinkevicz and Bobby “has all his limbs still” Pape are heading back to the age of Butt Rock via a TBTL segment from the radio days. What is Butt Rock exactly? We’re not sure. But we know it’s the perfect soundtrack for your evening drive down the 101 from (the other) Long Beach (WA) to (the other) Newport (OR).

This episode looks back at hour 2 of TBTL from July 2, 2008.

Little Red Bandwagon podcast

Phan Phavorite Phyllis Fletcher takes a break from trust falls and ice breakers with her team in Portland to share not one but TWO TBTL moments from Decembers past! One features Jen (the cake is a lie), one features Luke (who’s too young for a decaf nightcap), and both raise a great question: why did I say that?! While We Have Her™, Phyllis also tells us what it was like in the newsroom on Election Night, from the cliché whiskey to her Reverse Driveway Moment. Plus, Mouth Sounds!

Public Service Announcement: This episode features an occasional use of the word “moist,” in relation to Jen’s baking tips. You have been warned. In fact, as an apology, if you’re one of the first 20 people to send and email to littleredbandwagon (at) gmail (dot) com with the word “moist” in the subject line, Christy will send you an LRB sticker as soon as she finishes gagging. Thanks!

This episode features TBTL clips from Dec. 8, 2008, hour 2 and Dec. 8, 2014, episode 1747.

Climb aboard the KSPRT Grosston Roller Coaster for a wild ride through the latest week of TBTL with Bobby, Ann and Great Big Man Mike. We (somewhat) tactfully tackle TBTL’s recent gauntlet of bodily function talk, but might need an ice bath and some sample pierogis if anyone expects us to podcast tomorrow. Just remember: unicycles are a deal-breaker, don’t forget the bulk whipping cream, and it’s always better not to be the guy who farted.

Oh, and Ann Needs Advice!

It’s a very special holiday edition of LRB as Mike, Christy, Jeremy, Bobby, Ann, Phyllis and (sort of) Meredith all come together around the dining room podtable. We kick things off with a Thanksgiving Day Parade of Misery as our worst Turkey Day memories overload the Wappler Doppler in a deluge of disasters from culinary to family—all, of course, punctuated with laughter, and everybody’s favorite imitation turkey gobble. Then, we move on to a feast of put-ups, because we have no shortage of reasons to be thankful this year! The short list includes an LRB family wedding, a new house, pain relief, outstanding colleagues, a surplus of pie, the Affordable Care Act, the end of a presidency (not the one you’re thinking), and, most of all, our thoughtful and charitable listeners. Really. We mean it! (Don’t cry. Be Strong Britney

Mike, Ann and an unexpectedly ailing Bobby ditch the Coleman cooler full of algae juice for some Canadian beer and Teriyaki Madness before losing their appetites thanks to Luke’s questionable medical talk and hygiene maintenance. Then again, stories of Bobby’s high school surgery prep, Ann nerding out about murderdata.org and Mike’s unoiled stump didn’t help much, either. It’s not all a trip to Grossto(w)n though—there’s also Skyjinx (woo), multiple hypothetical questions and a trio of Simpsons references.
