TBTL: Too Beautiful To Live

Luke and Andrew do a little Friday Fridge Cleanout to wrap up the week. They talk about another unfortunate bronze statue in a long line of unfortunate bronze statues, they find out who won the contest to be the new voice of Boston's airport, and they worry about the future of democracy now that the rest of the country realizes how handsome TBTL's favorite congressman is. They also learn that Lake Champlain really was once a "Great Lake" (for about two weeks in 1998.)  Photo credit: Lily Brown of The Daily Evergreen newspaper (WSU)

Luke is excited to learn about a special radio station that's dedicated to keeping the correct time. He and Andrew also revisit their feelings about being called "Boss", with new insight from Television's Chris Hayes. And Andrew recently saw some folks trying to repair their electronic reclining chairs in a movie theater, and it was a whole thing.  

Luke was visited by a ghost while he was watching election returns last night. Andrew found himself in a surprising position by 10pm. They discuss the historic night, the future of democracy, and why you should always remove your dog's pajamas before taking her outside to pee.

Luke and Andrew try to simultaneously process their feelings about tonight's upcoming election results and last night's tough Seahawks loss…and a hilarious text message Luke received after the game. They also hear about the Pennsylvania woman who was arrested for purposely blocking delivery robots on the sidewalk and an 85-year old man who's been running a tiny baseball card shop out of his house using the honor system for payments. 

Andrew has an update on his puppy's surgery over the weekend and how they're all handling the cone situation. Luke is learning about modern video game design via Modern Warfare. And they discuss the New York Times' controversial reporting about the highly contested US Senate race in Alaska and one campaign's apparent attempts to mislead voters. 

Luke and Andrew celebrate Halloween the only way they know how: By talking about different kinds of cucumbers and how their opinions about produce have changed because of TBTL. Plus, Andrew's feeling a little anxious about his dog's surgery this weekend, while Luke is looking forward to spending more time with Tim Heidecker. 

Luke and Andrew both happened to see the same commercial last night, and it irritated them for different reasons. Plus, Luke re-fell in love with a vintage documentary, Andrew's still in the market for a new hat, and nobody knows why Aaron Rogers dressed up like an old British bloke when his team showed up in Paris.

It's the last day of voting for the new voice of Boston's Logan Airport, and Luke and Andrew review the finalists. They also discuss why Andrew had to sheepishly leave a local restaurant this weekend. And Luke is learning a lot about Cheesecake Factory culture.  Photo of the Cheesecake Factory by Cathy Smith / uniquelycat

Luke and Andrew feel very seen and heard after AirBNB announces new rules about how much guests are expected to clean. They also research the legitimacy of something called "Brown Friday." Luke's mom debuts the new Seahawks fan song she has written and recorded. And a pilot checks in from the flight deck to correct the record on a few things. 

Luke, Jon and Andrew discuss an incredibly cruel cybersecurity test that the Knicks organization sent out to its employees. Plus, Andrew tries to decode a TikTok video that's making the rounds. And a listener explains his family's unorthodox method for keeping strangers away from them in public spaces.
