  • We grew apart..

    Listened to the show for 15 years and it has brought me many moments of joy and sometimes frustration, which is okay in any relationship, imagined or real. Not sure what happened lately, it was probably just me and I got tired of the same discussion in a world of so many amazing podcasts and creative content. There is just so many hours in a day..

    Good luck guys, all the best.

    Leftist leaning garbage. Likable hosts but their constant partisan political orientation nonsense detracts from enjoying their exploits. Listened to my last show, good luck, good health and good fortune L & A.

  • Don’t Knock It Until You’ve Tried It

    12/2025 Update: TBTL is better than ever! With all due respect to other listeners, the baseball talk is not a big deal; in fact, I really feed off of their enthusiasm and the entire emotional journey. Forever rooting for the business boys!! ~C ———-Give TBTL a whirl! It will feel like you’re not in on the inside jokes, but that feeling goes away quickly. It’s the podcast that’s there for you when you just need to unwind and chuckle a little. It’s a friend that’s there for you, but is okay with wh... more
