TBTL: Did you see what we did there?

Today On TBTL: What's the worst movie you can rent this weekend? Blown Away.

blownawayI'll be at Green River Community College today trying to convince the broadcast students there that Imaginary Radio (the kind we practice with TBTL) is way better than Real Radio (the kind that has actual listeners), but never fear, last night, I took a break from The
Mummy's birthday feast at the Ballard Azteca to duck into Space Car and chat with our good friends JD and Thunder from Stack of Dimes about the Worst Movie You Can Rent This Weekend. In honor (?) of Corey Haim, they picked a psychosexual thriller staring both Coreys and Nicole Eggert called 'Blown Away'.

Here's how JD describes it: 'If you took the worst parts of 'License
to Drive', 'Basic Instinct', and 'Charles in Charge' and smashed them
together, you'd have 'Blown Away'.

Wait, that's exactly how TBTL has been described...

We'll have that and lots more, on today's TBTL.

Today On TBTL: Why Was David Letterman Being Such A Creep Last Night?

letterman

As you all well know, I love me the David Letterman.

Despite his own bizarro sex/blackmail scandal and largely because of NBC's late night self-immolation, he's sort of emerged as the reliable 'dad' of late night tv in my mind. So imagine my dismay last night, when I watched commit not one but two, giant blunders on his show.

We'll talk about it today on TBTL (which is itself, usually one giant blunder. But at least you guys expect that going in).

Also, I'll tell the story of how I went a little bananas last night while hosting a local advertising awards banquet. And, remember that guy Eric Massa? The NY Congressman who Larry King asked if he was gay after he allegedly threw a 'tickle party' with his male staffers? Well I said yesterday that I was developing a hunch that he was, in fact a gay, and this article in The Atlantic isn't doing anything to change my mind. We'll talk "snorkeling" in just a few minutes.

See you then.

So Apparently I'm Never Ever Going To Get Tired Of These Singing Kids Ever.

I'm not exactly sure which thing TBTL has been loving forever (Phoenix or These PS22 Kids) has more blowed up over the past year, but here they are colliding. And even though the cool kid in me says I should be jaded to both elements of this, I just can't bring myself to do it. These are two great tastes that taste great together.

Today On TBTL: RIP Corey Haim.

coreyhaim

Hey friendos,

Sad (but not totally shocking news) today that Corey Haim has died of an apparent drug overdose, we'll reminisce about how awesome Lucas and License to Drive were.

Also, we'll get an update from Jen about how the meetup with the AtlanTens went. And, it looks like Luke might have to start watching Larry King Live again. Full explanation (with audio evidence) coming up.

Is There Even The Slightest Possibility This TV Show Is Based On My Life?

life-unexpected-poster-1

Probably not.

Let's just start with that.

Even though it's about former teen parents, and the mom works as a
radio host, in Portland (which is very Seattle-ish), and the dad is a
lovable rogue who loves him the booze juice, I've figured it's just
coincidental. Lots of you have been emailing me about it though, like
Kate in Iowa. She'd also chalked it up to coincidence, until she saw
this promo photo for the show:

huh

That is kind of weird right?

Okay, maybe it's not that weird. But if this show is ripped from the
headlines of my life, and I was too ugly to play myself, then consider
me very sad.

If you need me, I'll be at the bar, lovably rogue-ing it up, talking
about how I have a radio show and was a teen dad.
