Luke and Andrew react to the latest Little League action as your TBTL Junior Sluggers took on the Firesharks last night. Plus, TBTL has a new A.I.-created theme song, thanks to the work of listener Steve. And Luke has a lawnmower date with a man named Terry this afternoon. 

TBTL friendo and podcaster and pasta inventor Dan Pashman of the Sporkful swings by to talk about his new book, Anything’s Pastable. Plus, Luke is stepping-up his lawn care game with a new mower, but he’s also saying goodbye to an old, motorized friend.

One of Andrew’s recent dreams leads to an exploration of the Jackass franchise and its lasting appeal in pop-culture. He and Luke are also divided on a Washington Post piece about cheating at pub trivia. And they discuss a “reverse art heist” at a German museum. 

Andrew is ashamed at how much energy he spent arguing something in his head (and online) yesterday, but he’s trying to make the best of it. Plus, Luke has had a couple of run-ins with robots and artificial intelligence recently, and they both went pretty well!

Luke experienced THE DOME in Las Vegas this weekend and has a full report. Plus, Andrew joined a new gym and is already a completely different person. 

Andrew comes in hot with a LOT of thoughts about Crocodile Dundee, while new information about Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter has Luke reconsidering his earlier opinions on the baseball great. 

Luke’s new ladder turns out to be much more than just a ladder; It’s a conduit to a new mindset. Plus, Andrew tries (and fails) to flex his Women’s Lit knowledge, and Listener Bet shares a filthy joke. 

The TBTL Junior Sluggers had quite a game last night. Plus, Andrew’s adventures tracking down a mystery pub leads to an important conversation about bay leaves. And a judge has made an unusual ruling ruling in the case of a Seattle scourge. 

Andrew heard something yesterday that ended up taking him and Luke and an unexpected journey through the glory days of forgettable, midday public radio. Plus, a listener’s story about her experience at a barber college prompts Andrew to come clean about his current hair situation.
