One year ago today, Luke, Andrew, Sean and Firebird Jimmy recorded an episode of TBTL talking about their New Year’s Resolutions, we think. We were going to listen and use their hopes and dreams as a punching bag for an hour, but instead we all went out to do stuff. So, here’s that TBTL. We’re pretty sure it was a good one. Happy New Year! (TBTL #1765: What Will We Do Yesterday Night? originally aired 1/1/2015.)
