Tbtl- Too Beautiful To Live

Luke and Andrew say goodbye to a magical Mariner's season, and they recap this weekend's wins by the Seahawks and Browns (Sorry, Stu.)

Luke destroyed his voice this weekend rooting for his Seattle Mariners. But that doesn't stop a podcaster! Also, farewell Ozy Media, we hardly knew thee. 

Luke's travelling up to Seattle this weekend to drink in that sweet Mariners playoff race energy. Plus, Netflix's new, wildly popular offering "Squid Game" is creating issues for a fellow who's phone number is used in the show.

Andrew receives a surprise email at the beginning of today's show. Plus, Mick Jagger chills at a little bar in North Carolina, and it's kind of charming as hell. 

Luke and Andrew realize that they've been missing a BIG DETAIL in their ongoing Duck Painting Coverage. Plus, a Danish artist pockets a bunch of government cash and calls it art. And Eminem is opening a restaurant called "Mom's Spaghetti."

Luke and Andrew try to make sense of the Seahawks' 1-2 start after a loss to the Vikings. Meanwhile, the Cleveland defense almost murdered Chicago's rookie QB. And the Mariners continue to keep it interesting, with only 5 games left to play.

Luke and Andrew get an update on a mysterious duck painting, as well as a 40 million dollar conference call gone awry. Plus, a listener calls in with a story about getting a too-good-to-be-true deal on a kitchen appliance.

Luke is giving up coffee, at least for a week. Also, Alabama's leading boudoir photographer and barrel racer is upset that the state has confiscated his opossum named Donovan.

Luke stepped on a meatball, and then had a weird experience at the doctor's office. These are unrelated events.

Luke and Andrew go through the audio archives and play some long-forgotten TBTL intro tape. Plus, a YA author admits to compulsively sending made-up stories to Slate's advice columnist.

Andrew realizes he may need to see a men's health specialist before he can perform his duties at an upcoming wedding. Plus, Demi Adejuyigbe released his final (?) "September" video yesterday. And listeners share tales of dog poop vengeance gone wrong and chefs taking ostentatiously long bathroom breaks.

Luke spent the morning wearing a cowboy hat and yelling at the top of his lungs for a TV story. Meanwhile, MSNBC's Chris Hayes becomes TBTL's promotions department. 

Luke and Andrew discuss the Seahawks' somewhat baffling loss to Tennessee yesterday and the Browns' ugly win over Houston. 

Luke joins the show from Texas, where he endured a boat tour guide whose sense of humor was...confusing at best. Plus, Gillian Anderson is asked an awkward question after her big Emmy win last night, but she handled it with aplomb.

A surprise attendee at the trial of the year reminds Luke and Andrew of Lucille Bluth. Or maybe George Bluth? Or is he more like Steve Buscemi in 30 Rock? We'll figure it out. Plus, plant burglars are swiping valuable bonsai trees across the Twin Cities, and it's kind of heartbreaking

The people of Trinidad are not happy with Nicki Minaj's controversial claims about "her cousin's friend" who supposedly experienced unusually personal side-effects of the COVID vaccine shot. 

Luke and Andrew remember comedian Norm MacDonald, who died much too soon. And an anonymous listener describes how they were taken-in by the same exact printer/toner scam that we talked about last week.

Luke and Andrew call-up Kiki Lolo, who has a big personal announcement to make (and some RomComs to recommend.) Plus, Nicki Minaj riles the internet with an anti-vax tweet that is...dubious at best.

The Seahawks and the Browns both looked very good in their season openers yesterday. Sadly, only one of them won. It's okay, though. It's going to be okay. 

Luke spent the morning wrestling with some cockamamie app with a terrible name in order to attend a virtual conference. Speaking of meeting software, some people are developing "Zoom Dysmorphia" after seeing themselves on their own computer screens all day. Also, Andrew drops the ball on several jokes, not unlike Nick Chubb in yesterday's Browns game, which we WILL NOT talk about.
