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.

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!
