Luke and Andrew call Coach Ben for a preview of the upcoming TBTL Junior Sluggers little league season. 

Luke and Andrew turn to each other for help understanding some local TV commercials. They also discuss vampires and immortality, Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech, and Taffy Brodesser Ackner’s profile of Val Kilmer, who passed away yesterday.

Today’s full episode of TBTL isn’t showing up on Apple Podcasts, so Luke and Andrew fire up the old podcasting machine again to see if they can do anything about it. 

Luke and Andrew discuss the single-shot feats of Netflix’s Adolescence, the best/worst new commercial for a local casino, the troubling legacy of a famous sign along I-5, and NPR’s reporting on the “slow internet movement.”

Luke regales Andrew with many stories from his trip to the mustard museum this weekend. 

An anonymous listener shares a hair-raising story about getting scammed by the same “Sheriff’s Department” call that Andrew recently received. Luke and Andrew also discuss their viewing experience during baseball’s opening day. And the prime minister of Australia is getting surprisingly involved in the story of a mascot that pushed a child. 

Luke and Andrew are gearing up for baseball’s opening day by trying to figure out how the heck to watch the games. They also dive deeper into Kyle Mooney’s new record, which is probably a joke but maybe not? 

Luke is grumpy after a rough day of travelling around the Tri-City area, but Andrew found the perfect thing to cheer him up on an old VHS tape. Luke also has more dazzling details than you can imagine on the history of Pez dispensers!

Andrew received an alarming phone call last week and is still processing it. Luke is in New York, where he’s rearranging his hotel room and looking for fancy extension cords for his fancy travel bags.  

Luke and Andrew aren’t yet ready to talk about Pez dispensers or Kyle Mooney’s new project, but they are ready to talk about what they might talk about when they are ready to talk about those topics. They also discuss the Mariner’s new app, which may make watching games easier or more difficult, depending on what you read. 

Luke helps prep Andrew for his upcoming appearance on a public radio talk show. They also check back in with the TBTL Community Calendar to find out what activities the Tens are planning.
