Hello there, and welcome to the Wonderful World of TBTL! What's a TBTL you ask? Great question! It's a daily podcast featuring two longtime friends (Luke and Andrew) who start each episode with plans to cover the day's news, but usually end up discussing their personal lives. Lives that revolve mostly around cased meats and male pattern baldness. We're so glad you're here, and to celebrate the occasion we've recorded a special introductory episode of the show. We're calling it "What The Hell Is TBTL?" And we hope it fills you in on who Luke and Andrew are and why TBTL is worth listening to. If nothing else, you'll get to hear Luke's mom's strategy for stealing lattes from IKEA. Enjoy! Find out where to subscribe here! Already a TBTL Ten? Looking for the link to the TBTL Challenge?
