Too Beautiful to Live

We'll walk that fine line between cutting-edge irreverence and trouble with the Federal Communications Commission.

All right, hello, good morning, and welcome, everyone, to a Friday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

I am petrified, petrified with this story.

My name is Luke Burbank.

those two male models? Donors? Yeah, why not? Okay.

Okay.

We're going to thank some folks right now who are supporting TBTL financially.

This is 100% listener-supported podcasting, and the whole business model is we do the show five days a week, all year round.

Let's get to the jokes.

All right, hello, good morning, and welcome everyone to a Thursday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

Spock sabotaged the system.

My name's Luke Burbank.

You know everybody's talking about this Nathan Fielder documentary, but...

Not enough of us are talking about original cast album from D.A. Pennybaker in 1970.

So who needs a movie? That's the kind of up-to-date, current, in-the-zeitgeist type of movie conversation that people turn to TBTL for.

They also turn to TBTL on a Thursday for the Blur's Day messages.

we need to to this particular topic.

I do like to think, though, that some listeners at some point will bring this up at, I don't know, do people have dinner parties anymore? In conversation, somebody is going to remember this conversation on TBTL, and they're going to lay down some fly-by-wire

facts for their friends.

And that's the value of TBTL.

Not to be confused with Fly by Jing, which is a chili crisp sauce, which got really big on Instagram.

And then I ordered some of it because I do whatever the Instagram tells me to do.

Now, 13 Coins is, for people who don't know, it's actually a pretty large place, but it is very cozy with like very tall red plush leather booths and these captain's chairs at the bar where you can watch the cooks.

me too that's one

And I also think it wouldn't hurt you to talk to a therapist about your bathroom issues, because there's clearly something going on there.

All right, hello, good morning, and welcome everyone to a Tuesday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

No way, Jose.

My name's Luke Burbank.

Oh, speaking of, I want to come back to the cleanliness thing in a second, but it's funny that we ended up here because I have to admit about...

I have to admit to something I was wondering after the show yesterday.

There was a moment during or before TBTL.

I can't remember which one it was.

It's going to be raining and getting ever darker all week here in the Pacific Northwest.

That's all right, though, that we've got TBTL to keep us company here.

And today, in particular, TBTL TV.

Apparently, I've never been on live television before.

That's right.

On Mondays, we like to put out a video production of the program.

So if you're watching this, you can see that I'm wearing my new TBTL frog jump champion T-shirt.

You could also see that I started the show with my microphone off.

There's nothing funny about a funny car when it blasts down a road toward disaster.

All right, hello, good morning, and welcome, everyone, to a Friday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

It's a kind of magic.

My name's Luke Burbank.

Good morning, my friend.

Good morning.

I feel like that is an appropriate introduction to me today because I was afraid of coming off slightly crazy to some of our listeners last night as I took care of a huge backlog of emails in my TBTL inbox.

And because of that, I was responding to something.

Hello.

Good morning and welcome, everybody, to a Thursday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

Too loud and too specific.

My name is Luke Burbank.

somewhere.

Ryan would never do that.

Ryan is such a solid individual and is supporting TBTL with a donation, and we appreciate it.

Thanks, Ryan.

All right.

Hello, good morning, and welcome everyone to a Wednesday edition of TBTL, the show that just might be too beautiful to live.

My name is Luke Burbank.

I am your host.

Uh-huh.

We're going to thank some donors right now.

We're going to thank the people who are making TBTL possible five days a week, all year long.

100% listener-supported podcasting, including... our friend Darren, book night in Casey? Casey? That's what I would say.

Is there anything that we should implant into or incept into Brenda's dreams?

Brenda, the TBTL-a-thon is just months away.

And as a listener to the show, you know that it is so important that we have listeners step up and support the program.

So, yeah, if you could do that, that would be incredible.

Speaking of television productions, Maybe I'm rewatching 30 Rock because I want to learn how to become a better TV maker.

Because, of course, on Mondays we do TBTL TV.

I love television.

I've got to have that thing on 24-7.

But that thing is huge.

I can send you some more photos of my sausage if you'd like.

Well, no, you know what I'm doing, Andrew Walsh, because this is TBTL TV.

Oh, you can put it up in the thing.
