Luke is concerned about his favorite news network after seeing a (somewhat misleading?) headline in the Times today. He and Andrew also discuss this weekend’s boxing match between two terrible human beings. And they’re apparently nowhere near finished talking about closet organization techniques.

Luke is enjoying his time on the Bluesky app, and is finding a lot of old, weird friends there from his Twitter days. He and Andrew also discuss “Babydog,” the English Bulldog who’s been banned from the Senate floor. 

Luke and Andrew (finally) discuss their individual attempts at closet organization, and why it seems to be a never ending struggle. They also listen to the absolutely charming,  absolutely Midwest voicemail that Bon Iver’s neighbor left for the musician.

Frankie Valli insists he’s not lip synching on stage, but a fascinating investigation by the Washington Post begs to differ. 

Luke has some new life goals, one of which might have been inspired by an Instagram ad. He also presents a new segment called “Basketball Funny Side Up”, in which he regales Andrew with some knee-slapping moments from the NBA court. 

Luke is dealing with a cold that seems to be getting worse. Andrew takes advantage of the situation by filibustering on his broken furnace, his plans to attend the Great Junk Hunt, and his fight with the bill collectors who have erroneously targeted him. 

Andrew witnessed some astounding social behavior involving seat-saving at a concert last night that he’d like Luke to weigh-in on. Luke is trying to detox from the 24/7 news addiction he developed during the election season. And one very young TBTL listener has a plan to fix the country. 

Luke and Andrew (once again) sort through their feelings after another disheartening election night in America.

Luke and Andrew emotionally brace themselves for election night 2024 by sharing their feelings and playing a new word game that Andrew is newly obsessed with. 

Andrew momentarily forgets that he’s podcasting and spends much too much time talking about doormats. More importantly, he and Luke look back at the extraordinary life and career of Quincy Jones. And Ed Sheeran wins a copyright lawsuit accusing him of borrowing too heavily from Lets Get It On.

Yesterday, Luke dared to venture where few are brave enough to tread: A Spirit Halloween store in downtown Chicago at 5:30pm on Halloween night.
