#387 (Clip Show): We All Need to Find Our Dinkytowns
15/03/2019 Duración: 01h29min“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” We should all take a little more time to appreciate the wonder that is the United States Postal Service, so Ann and Christy are using this month’s clip show to examine the special place the Post Office occupies in the history of TBTL. Jen teaches us about the subtle language of stamps. Luke complains about the long lines, but doesn’t know how to work the system. Andrew has a weird mail-related fear. Multiple plans to turn the fortunes of the USPS around are proposed. Plus, the secondary stamp market, the wonders of General Delivery, our confusion re: current stamp prices, and why don’t you just send Grandma a note once in a while, for God’s sake!

#386 (Recap): The Gigatarian’s Dilemma
11/03/2019 Duración: 01h39minThis week, Luke went to the pizza convention, Andrew went all around Seattle, and Phyllis Fletcher made a triumphant return to TBTL. After hearing about naked hot tubs, the last Busterblocker, and how Luke “had” to eat meat, we hash through the interesting topics and ask some questions. Is Mt. Constitution really much of a mountain? Why do we assume that body-confident naked guys must be old? Which one of us is willing to sacrifice their body to test driverless cars? As far as our own business goes, we’re working through some exciting new concepts for podcasts that we plan to offer to Jewel Case Media as soon as we’ve gotten caught up on our Nineties movie franchises. Mike shares tells some stories about the soap opera that is prison sports. Meredith once got into trouble for NOT taking her clothes off in public. Ann identifies a surprising parallel between TBTL and Jeopardy. Plus, movie rentals for cults, life goals for fish, and the moral objection to cheese.

#385 (Recap): The Year of Realizing Stuff
04/03/2019 Duración: 01h34minAs our national sage, Kylie Jenner, once said, “I feel like this year is really about, like, the year of just realizing stuff." And thus begins a new era of Luke, and possibly LRB? We’re switching up our format a bit, and Luke is realizing that maybe, sometimes? he can be kind-of a jerk. Join the ladies of LRB as they also realize that 1) we can’t go out as late as we once did, 2) houses cost a lot all of the time, 3) celebrities are no better than us, and 4) sometimes we have to bump it up to 2x. We hope you enjoyed the LRB change-up. Let us know what you think! We promise we will NOT police your tone. #foreplay #politecar

#384 (Friday): A Tale of Two Vincents
01/03/2019 Duración: 01h12minBuckle up, friends - this is a wild one. On this Final Friday show we attempt to go through the mailbag and then dig into the latest batch of your Amazon purchases, but are quickly derailed by multiple instances of hosts leaving the recording session, a pear confession, a Rorschach fax, a North Carolina grandmother with ALL the answers, and far too much discussion about Canadian bands. There are sub sandwiches, new nicknames, pronunciation questions, and a surprising detour into the unique challenge of being Joey Fatone. Christy and Hillary take Bobby to task over a careless comment. Ann’s concerned about pheromone cologne. Mike is definitely keeping up with the conversation. Vincent Gardenia! P.S. We’re still waiting on our invitations to that basketball party.

#383 (recap): The One Where They Don’t Know the Reference
25/02/2019 Duración: 01h20minAfter a week of deep conversations with special guests on TBTL, Mike, Meredith and Bobby are ready to talk about free two-day anvil delivery, potential HVAC litigation, the music of Stackwell, and a shocking revelation about scones. Plus, we completely blow it on a Friends reference from a listener. But maybe instead of laughing at us, you’ll spill your ‘90s TV milk with us? That’s what Jen would want you to do.

#382 (recap): A podcast about a podcast hosted by a not famous Joe Rogan
18/02/2019 Duración: 02h08minBobby has returned from Orlando, Meredith has a new house, Ann has a new nickname, and Mike’s studio has a new smell. Plus, a special New Orleans audio postcard from birthday girl Hillary, and a recap of last week’s TBTL. So climb aboard the Little Red Bandwagon, and be sure to sit with the other Grifflepuffers (or else you’ll get a conduct report). Maybe after the show we can go to CiCis. If after 2:08 of LRB you still need more audio in in your earholes, go check out The Dropout.

#381 (Recap): Just Take Your Jeep Compass and Go
11/02/2019 Duración: 02h15minThe streets are icy, the grocery store shelves are bare, and city life has ground to a halt, but at least you have this extra-long helping of LRB to keep you company! Mike, Hillary, and Ann settle in to make some sense of Luke’s pickup basketball skirmishes, agree that reserving rental cars willy nilly qualifies as a classic instance of Entitled Etiquette, ponder the difficulties of maintaining friendships, and express our parking lot rage fantasies. Hillary has solved the mystery of JFK’s assassination, although she’s OUTRAGED that you would think she’s drunk. Ann creates a hierarchy of subjects she doesn’t want to hear about in between episodes of trying really hard not to be eye-rolly about the Seattle Snowpocalypse. Mike’s trip to Vegas included less-than-optimal guardrails, a ride in a haunted elevator, and the horrors of magnified bathroom mirrors. Also, we talk about dongs for waaaaaaay too long, and I’d like to apologize to Beckys everywhere.

#380 (Clip Show): Hitting the Open Road
08/02/2019 Duración: 01h21minHey, Wagoneers! Select your CDs, grab some road candy, and put a harness on the cat, because we’re going on a road trip. TBTL has a long history of car (and camper) travel, sometimes while recording. Ann and Christy are talking about some of the ins and outs of TBTL road trip experiences, including a comparison of the different road rules employed by Jen and Luke, Andrew’s idea of what would be the least stressful method of cat transportation, and the terror inspired by Luke’s simultaneous driving and recording shenanigans. Plus, we discuss the inconvenience of regional liquor laws, the problems with camping for women, and whether or not there will be Netflix on the moon. And what IS the acceptable lower limit for a nightly room rental?

#379 (recap): Goalless and fancy free
04/02/2019 Duración: 01h51minNeither cold nor work nor Dr. Octagon can keep Bobby, Hillary and Ann from curating (just kidding) a recap of the latest week of TBTL. In addition to our usual sizzling hot TBTL takes, Left-handed Bobby is hoping for official early admission to Grumpy Old Men™ Inc., Hillary has some big news (that’s your cue, Andrea) and Ann’s mid-illness notes this week include dazzling details like “I tuned out for a while,” “Something about Hitler” and “Hog dog song lady.” Also: Listen to the podcast Keep It, feel free to use “It’s Fine™” (but know we might bill you back), and—if you must eat 50 eggs—considered ordering some deviled.

#378 (Recap): One Raisin After Sundown
28/01/2019 Duración: 01h54minWell friends, another week of TBTL is on the books, and Hillary, Ann, and Mike are dialing up to get crammed with meditation and break it all down. After a few more inside jokes and a discussion of the finer points of It’s Fine™, we circle back for some raisin TYPs and decide we’re not here to make friends. We’re in total agreement that Luke and Andrew’s embarrassing passive-aggressive behavior is going to lead to one of them getting punched in the head, and that we should study it out regarding the effects of marijuana, but we differ on whether you should treat yo self to some water in the toilet. Hillary’s been folding Star Wars underwear for a thousand years. Mike’s grandfather died in the Storage Wars. And Ann has a connection to a very big Eighties tv star. Plus, Malcolm Gladwell Superiority Complex, why Chris Hayes never skips his A block, and a very slow hoochie cooch from trees.

#377 (Final Friday): “We’re not as funny as we think we are”
25/01/2019 Duración: 01h20minOn this Final Friday edition of the show, Bobby, Christy, Mike and Ann don’t let a near complete lack of preparation stand in the way of combing through two months of listener emails, and exploring the history of some of LRB’s greatest* inside jokes. (Hat tip to listener Kristen for the segment idea!) Plus, Ann has a big announcement, Mike owes someone a Cheese Party, Christy is still on the hunt for NECCO hearts, and Bobby is ready to bring insult comedy to the funeral circuit. Other hot topics include boogers, Moira Kelly, underweighted props, the worst of reality TV, and eggs-in-grocery-bag placement. Enjoy! *not necessarily in quality or hilarity

#376 (recap): Our Bodies are a Wonderland
21/01/2019 Duración: 02h54sHey Man, it’s a new recap episode of Little Red Bandwagon! Ann, Bobby, and Hillary are here to guide you through Luke’s vacillating feelings toward Marie Kondo, the dramatic canceling of Ron & Don, Andrew’s (and Hillary’s) love of TV Guide’s Cheers & Jeers, the complicated Waffle House dialect, and much much more. Meanwhile y’all, Hillary’s dealing with a Frankenstein (you mean Frankenstein’s monster?) child, Ann is grappling with the intense cold, and Bobby is living it up with the New York City Tens. Finally – what the hell was Andrew’s hilarious dream joke? Phyllis??!?!

#375 (Recap): A Liberal’s Anxiety Dream
14/01/2019 Duración: 01h51minWelcome to another Boot the Boys episode, where Meredith, Hillary, and Ann are ready to offer their hot takes on Luke and Andrew’s hot takes on everything from the nutrition level of various vegetables to the appropriateness of playing the Humpty Dance during Grandparents’ Hour at a wedding. We’re fond of our TBTL friendos, but it’s difficult not to roll our eyes (so, so difficult) as they advocate for being “laughingly aloof” to defuse conflict, obsess YET AGAIN over the tone other people use when interacting with them, and apparently believe in grocery store fairies. In other news, Meredith is becoming a real estate mogul, Hillary’s ashamed of her Hazelnut Coffee-mate addiction, and Ann has a defiant message for Netflix.

#374 (Clip Show): “Hate? That’s a pretty grody word!”
11/01/2019 Duración: 01h42minOn this month’s clip show, Ann, Christy, and “try-hard theater kid” Hillary have brought their tap shoes and jazz hands to talk about the long-standing and somewhat problematic relationship TBTL has with musical theater. We’re pissed off at 2008 Luke’s attitude, but proud of how far he’s come since then. Jen’s star turns at Jesus Creek were continually thwarted by the shortcomings of Eric Trout. We listen to Susie and Luke have a sweet, sentimental conversation about Shirley Temple. And the Stu-bot wants to be in the band. Find out which show Christy loved so much that she carried a token of it for years, what unusual strategy Hillary’s World History teacher employed to contain her enthusiasm, and where to find online footage of the first musical Ann ever starred in (kidding - there is ZERO chance I’m giving up that info). Also on tap for discussion: the Christian kids’ theater industry, real talk about the difficulty of bringing diversity to Broadway, and how we make the argument to haters that musicals aren

#373 (Recap): Respect the Donut
07/01/2019 Duración: 01h28minIt’s the second week of TBTL’s pre-taped holiday shows, but Bobby, Meredith, Mike, and Ann still have plenty to say regarding man movies, Ray Liotta’s beautiful eyes, how peeing outside is fine™, and the sartorial advantages of peacoats. More serious discussions include how we deal with poor tippers (those West Michigan Dutch, amirite?), our frustration with Luke’s ceaseless diet talk, and the transcendence of Texas gas station food. In host news, Bobby’s been Twitter sleuthing (again), Mike still hates ‘My Favorite Things,’ Meredith’s dealing with the consequences of Bear’s bathroom explorations, and Ann has finally lost her ever-lovin’ mind.

#372 (double recap!): In defense of malls
31/12/2018 Duración: 01h47minAnn, Bobby, Hillary, Mike, and Meredith are back with an unprecedented two-week recap that they somehow got through in under two hours. (Hooray for us!) Mike stayed up way too late seeing Charley Crockett and is very “chipper,” Bobby (and Sam and Cupcake) are now famous throughout the greater Buffalo Niagara region, Hillary doesn’t know what to do with her kids for the rest of Winter Break and needs tips (help!?!?!), Meredith insists you take your muddy shoes off in her new home, and Ann declares that “Wonderful Christmastime” has “bad bones.” As for TBTL, we’re digging into Luke’s new vegan obsession and why he keeps talking about it even though literally nobody cares, the origins of Soak’em (NEWSIES! Maybe?), the TBTL crew’s favorite vacations, smells, pets, etc. and so much more. Happy New Year, Wagoneers! Let's go to the Mall!

#371: The Ghost of Christmas Clip Shows Past
28/12/2018 Duración: 02h10minThis episode originally aired in December 2017. That said, it’ll still do a fine job distracting you at work this week in 2018. Enjoy! Here’s the original write-up: “You cannot sing ‘parum pum pum pum’ and make it sound sexy and soulful. It just sounds stupid.” It’s the holiday season, so we thought we’d dig into the world of TBTL and Christmas (fear not, non-Christians – you’re welcome, too!). Christy and Ann are ready to share their thoughts on everything from loud ringing bells to NORAD’s Santa Watch. Luke’s obsession with Christmas music leads us into a long discussion of our own likes and dislikes. Jen is once again proven to be our spirit animal. The story of Luke’s first adult Christmas makes us feel warm and fuzzy. Ann spreads a family story that we’re sure her brother will appreciate. Plus, nativity shenanigans, problematic cookie exchanges, and two wonderful traditions in the Wise family. And we discover a shocking fact about Zac Efron that makes us feel better about our impending mortality. P.S. So

#370: The Unboxening, a Very Merry LRB Christmas Special
24/12/2018 Duración: 46minJoin us as we gather together to open our Secret Santa gifts! Everything we got was pretty good (and definitely not bombs), but you’ll get the greatest gift of all—a distraction from your family and holiday obligations. Enjoy!

#369 (Recap): Rom-Coms with a Hard R
17/12/2018 Duración: 01h31minAnn, Hillary and Meredith are meeting in the LRB conference space, and we DEFINITELY have an agenda, although we’ll need to keep it short so we’re not late for yoga. It was a strange, somewhat gross week of TBTL, full of things in nostrils that shouldn’t be, rambling discussions about “funny” Christian singers, and seriously shady Lyft drivers. We’re head over heels for guest cohost Jeannie Yandel, her awesome podcast, and her attitude toward meetings, agree that Luke should stop trying to ‘cute pic’ Carey into vegetarianism, and take the guys to task for expecting their coworkers to roll with their ineptitude. Hillary reluctantly says that ugly sweater parties are fine™. Meredith needs to replace that bottle of Glenlivet. Ann shares how she took parking lot pedestrian behavior to new levels of passive-aggressiveness. Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go look up the details of Zach Braff’s life.

#368 (Clip Show): LRB’s Year in Review
14/12/2018 Duración: 01h19minIt’s December 2018, and another year draws to a close at the Little Red Bandwagon. We’ve had a lot of fun talking about TBTL, as well as pop culture, sports, candy, pets (new and old), tasty beverages, the state of the world and our own lives. So for this month’s clip show, we’ve decided to take a look back at some of our favorite moments on our own show. Okay, they’re some of Ann’s favorite moments, since this was her idea and she was the one who trawled through the entire year to scoop them up. Listen as we discuss, argue and laugh our way through 2018. We hope you had as much fun listening as we had recording.
