Tbtl- Too Beautiful To Live

Andrew bought himself a Battery Daddy, and there ain't nothing wrong with that. But the slightly bigger news is that the new, self-selected host of Jeopardy! is already stepping down in disgrace, and the world is rejoicing.  Today's opening tape comes from Cassie Workman (@GhostCassie on TikTok)

Luke finds himself in traffic court, while Andrew finally beats The Oregon Trail game. Plus, a reporter for The Ringer discovers many more reasons why the new host of Jeopardy! was a bad pick...including the fact that he received almost $300K in PPP loans while he was employed as an executive producer. 

Luke wandered around the remains of an old dry cleaners yesterday, looking for the clothes he'd left with them when they were still in business. Meanwhile, Andrew has some new CNN documentaries to putter around with. And an expert offers advice on how to properly engage in small talk.   

Luke got two Covid tests yesterday, and it was quite the afternoon! Plus, David From The Basement swings by to announce the TWO remaining finalists for this year's TBTL Song Of The Summer!

Luke and Andrew geek out over "Nestflix," a website showcasing the fake movies and TV shows nested inside real movies and TV shows. 

Luke is headed off to a remote cabin in the woods (without electricity) for one of the hottest weekends of the summer. Plus, Andrew is very excited that some classic De La Soul records are about to be available via streaming services.

A lot happens on today's show, but the important thing to know is that Andrew stumbles on a private investigator's website that lists all the ways swingers secretly let other swingers know that they are swingers...one of which is "garden gnomes."

Luke and Andrew react to the breaking news that Jeopardy! has officially announced its new hosts. Plural. Plus, Luke had a magical night at the Hollywood Bowl. And Seattle locals set Andrew straight about Bartell Drugs. 

Luke discovers that a Los Angeles landmark very close to his heart disappeared, seemingly overnight.

Luke almost ruined an international business deal in Los Angeles, and Andrew has some serious questions for buskers in Seattle. Plus, Andrew's ancient cat is now making trouble for other families, too. 

Luke and Andrew are gearing up for their respective outdoor adventures this weekend...just in time for the first real rain of the summer. Plus, more details are emerging about the supposed new host of Jeopardy!, and they aren't great. 

Luke blocks Andrew on Twitter. It's a whole thing. Plus, Jeopardy! may have chosen its new host and -- if they have -- a lot of people aren't happy with the pick. 

Day 2 of Luke's new workout routine has him worried that he might have broken gym etiquette. Plus, Australian birds are teaching each other how to open garbage bins, and it's the end of an era for a classic Pacific NW beer.

David From The Basement swings by the studio to reveal the final four contenders for this year's TBTL Song of the Summer and to discuss some VERY BIG Lord of the Rings news. 

Luke is back with all kinds of stories from his summer break. Also, Andrew might have caught a very important home run ball in a parallel universe.

Luke and Andrew close out the 2021 TBTL Summer Games with more of the Movie Trailer Challenge!

Luke and Andrew try to stump each other with some hand-picked movie trailers for a game that Listener J-Dog (how did he get that name?) invented in a parking lot.

Marissa in Maryland is back with another Michael McDonald challenge for Luke!

Listener Kevin takes the TBTL Summer Games in a trashy direction with a homemade quiz about garbage containers. Plus, Andrew gets to know his x-ray technician in a way he never expected.

The Summer Games continue with a challenge from one of TBTL's youngest listeners, who just might be the daughter of Luke's insurance agent. Can Luke recognize the 8-bit cover versions of pop songs?
