Little Red Bandwagon

Mike and Ann are joined by Nick Armes, hospitality professional, Civilization lover, and quite possibly one of the nicest guys ever to wear an Imperial Officer’s uniform. We get the lowdown on Detroit pizza, Nick’s TBTL tattoo, and no-fail strategies for romancing the ladies. Then we take a trip down memory lane to a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, to 2012 in the Mt Baker neighborhood of Seattle), and listen to Andrew battle his fear of heights while Luke makes inarticulate sounds of glee with every overhead pass of the famous Blue Angels. Today’s clip originally aired on August 2nd, 2012.

Can a dive bar also be a scooter bar? Only if Rudy is there. Batten down the hatches, even crate yourself if you must to get ready for a stormy recap brought to you by Ann, Meredith, and Mike. Many adult themes are discussed, including pixilated prives and period panties. We feel confident with this #LRB episode because, like Twitter and MAD TV, Luke thinks it's destined to fail.

Take a break from your 1040A and listen back with Mike, Bobby and Ann to some of LRB’s favorite tax-time clips from TBTL history. Sean’s making bank, Andrew’s making trouble, and Luke’s making a Pagliacci’s delivery driver go pretty far out of his way. Plus, poorly relayed last-minute advice from friend of the show Kevin Farewell, the guy we should have just hired months ago.

Fire up the Andyman and invite over your neighborhood bee whisperer—it’s time to celebrate Theo and Professor Bananas’ safe return to the schnürbdër with a new TBTL Week in Review. Meredith, Ann and Bobby look back on creaky floors, Cinnabon trees and everything in-between in an episode that’ll leave you with more to chew on than a cheeseburger on an English muffin.

Western New York cuisine heiress turned Weisendorf Ten Elizabeth Chiavetta joins Bobby and Mike from what we can only imagine is her cavernous German castle for a wide-ranging edition of LRB. We listen back to a TBTL two-fer from 2013 featuring dreams of childhood heroics and a private work bathroom. Plus, Bobby apologizes, Mike comes out as bidet-curious, and Elizabeth shares a tip on getting racy pictures developed. (Hint: Find the Walgreens staffed by amiable old women with poor natural vision.) Note: Unfortunately for our youngest Wagoneers, this one gets a little blue in spots. But if it’s any consolation, I think we lost any chance of getting free marinade when we hit bidet talk, so we’re all hurting here.

Here’s hoping you have that laminated picture of ~90 minutes of entertainment and thoughtful commentary ready to show your Zune, because it’s time for your latest TBTL Week in Review! Close the garage door, crack a window, grab an extension cord, and please, hold the slab of red onion—we’re allergic. If you need anything feel free to ask Mike, but make sure he’s not holding a pen first, or he might give you the ol’ Louisiana Lavaflow.

Phyllis joins Meredith and Mike to review her Phaves from TBTL Aprils past. Jen's purchase of the Sterlington Collection Royal Ring is discussed, as is the April Fools’ prank Genevieve played on Andrew. Then, as a special treat, Phyllis shares a story about her father and it's some of the best radio you will ever hear. Even better than when Andrew actually did his taxes on the show.Find us online at www.littleredbandwagon.com 

Pull your iPhone out of your Hiatus Box™, grab a handful of mini Charleston Chews and a Dope Fiend, and enjoy this Recorded-on-Easter Edition of Little Red Bandwagon. Bobby is broadcasting from a child’s bedroom, Mike is taking a break from babysitting a little Donald Trunk supporter, Meredith is negotiating pet peace with a new puppy, and guest co-host Ann is managing advances from a smooth-talking 6-year-old bachelor. And yet, we still manage to recap your last week of TBTL.

Lifelong baking enthusiast, Gold Star HistoriTen and MinnesoTen Ann Lundholm joins Mike and Christy to ponder the ugliness of a competitive spirit, explain why Christy is taking a short “medical” leave, and enjoy the fact that Jen Flash Andrews is a lying liar of the worst kind. Also on tap is the long-awaited(?) return of Mike Has Ideas, and Ann won’t stop naming cakes. TBTL clip from today’s show originally aired February 13, 2008 (Hour 3).

It’s time to dig into your celebratory overpriced bowl of chowder, and wash it down with a big solitary swig of mouthwash as Christy, Bobby and Mike recap your latest week of TBTL. (Meredith is “Skiing Mount Snow” and will be back next week.) When you go to rinse off don’t mind the IUD on the loofah—we just like to keep things tidy.

Carey joins Mike and Christy to talk about her favorite Burbank, the real story behind the coat, and the moment Luke melted her heart by choosing her over his ideal bachelor lifestyle. Then Carey Has Questions for the hosts and two OPPs are tackled. Also, Mike cries, but that's nothing new.

Mike, Christy, Meredith and Bobby slap one more gallon of off-white paint up before strapping in, grabbing a mic, and hitting the drive-thru for a venti half-caff cup of Mike’s basketball tears (sorry, Mike) on the way to a stranger’s woodshop. We’d have parked, but only pheasants walk up, and it’s still a little cold for these parachute shorts.

It’s another Phyllis Phlashback as Fletch joins Christy and Mike for a trip back to March 2010. Rap Master Maurice dishes disses at The Rodfather (Rod Arquette), the KIRO exec who cancelled TBTL, and Luke and Jen share why they were expelled from Jesus Creek. Lesson: We are all one "alternative flipoff" or "moooooo" away from a different destiny. Plus, be sure to listen through to the end for some special bonus content. 

Join Bobby, Meredith and Mike for a look back at cat talk, Entitled Etiquette, and glimpses into our favorite hosts’ lives during a tell-all week of TBTL. Plus, LRB pulls back the curtain to talk about some recent tech woes. (Not all heroes wear capes, *cough* Jeremy Holmes.) This episode is brought to you by Teamocil, discreetly mislabeled VHS tapes and teriyaki bowls. Teriyaki bowl!

March 5 2012 Our lives changed forever when Andrew Boom Boom Walsh became the new co-host of TBTL.

Hop in you hooptie, flip off your boss on the highway, and join Meredith, Mike, Christy and Bobby in the last room available at the Singletree by Hilton in downtown St. Paul. The last of the sticker money has been converted into scratchers, and the crew is surviving on raisin scones, Grape Nuts and the conventioneers’ leftover chicken wings. And since it’s still magically February, be sure to pack your Moose Knuckles unless you want to freeze off your moose knuckles. Oh, and when you’re done, go listen to Grey Tickles, Black Pressure by John Grant because Meredith said so, and she’s a scientist.

Set down those FBI-approved bolt cutters and join hands with Mike, Meredith, and Ultimate Gold Star HistoriTen Ashley as we raise a long-dead episode of TBTL from the grave. We discuss Ashley's adorable pugs, her prolific archiving habit, and she turns the tables to finally get some of her burning TBTL trivia questions answered. Then we listen back to some found audio of two '90s metalheads discussing the merits of totally destroying this dude Terry over $20 and a parking space, courtesy of Davy Rothbart from Found Magazine. The clip this week (from TBTL #1650) starts at 00:31 and goes till 01:18As discussed on the show, you can watch the videos that go along with these tapes here: http://www.dailymotion.com/playlists/user/foundmagazine/1

Bobby, Christy, Meredith and Mike sprinkle some artisanal shade on salt lamps, swap advice on king-size basement flooding, and take a turn for the domestic while exploring why Mike suddenly doesn’t want to move. Plus: Two special archive project challenge announcements, a Lions update featuring Green Grasshopper flashback, and a casual plug for our newest sponsor, ShamWow Guy.

Tennsylvanian and gold star archivist Bob (aka Ben/Bill) Stein joins Christy and Mike to talk about the night, early in the radio days, that we got Mystery Solvers AND Cooking With Sean in back to back segments. That's NUTZ!! This show is so much more pleasing to the ear than the mating call of the sow-bellied nargele.

Tuck in your jersey, Grab Some Buds and join us in the sauna as your LRB hosts recap an unsalted week of TBTL chock full of more oral/aural disasters than open mic night at Laughy’s Laugh Factory. Plus, Meredith shares our CB trucker handles, including Producer Jeremy “Jazzbone Hammerhead” Holmes.When you’re done, be sure to check out the Baby Jessica Rescue Web Page (http://www.caver.net/j/jrescue.html)
