Andrew: “I was, like… saying goodbye to the hoisin sauce. I’m not even kidding! I was just, like, ‘Ohh, I just bought the hoisin sauce; and, I’m not even gonna be here for a week'”
Andrew and Luke: “We’re hitchhiking through… John Wayne Gacy’s… town… and, also… Michele Bachmann was born there. If you guys will recall… Who has been worse for America? Okay”
With TBTL #2649 landing on Memorial Day, Andrew made the episode mostly an encore presentation of #2382. Before hitting play on #2382, Andrew gave Steve “Stu-bot” Neuman a call on the show and they had a good chat filled with good stuff. For clips from #2382, please check out: Clips From TBTL #2382.
Andrew: “Alright, that’s your dose of the Stu-bot… Good stuff, right? Good stuff, man… good stuff”
Steve Neuman and Andrew: “You saw, you saw our offense this weekend up close and personal; so, it might not be the worst idea the Twins have. Oh, you guys have one? (Oh, God) That was rude… That was a rude thing to say. (No) We don’t have much of an offense right now either, my friend”
Luke: Saying “Every American is required to report to their alter ego… camp… You will be numbered and branded with your alter ego” as if it were delivered over a PA system
Luke and Andrew: “I don’t know why I just thought of this; but, maybe it would be a show called, ‘Say Maybe to the Baby’… Oh my God… (Which, by the way, could also just be… what… could also be) Oh my God!”
Luke and Andrew: “I don’t like this new Mr. Unlimited… persona… that you’re doing. It’s not really Mr. Unlimited, it’s ‘Mr. Unlimited’ (His name… his name’s, Mr., Mr., Mr. Unlimited) Oh, no, he goes low. I was going high. Unlimited”
Luke and Andrew: “Where was Superman? Where are you now… when everything’s gone wrong, (Right) somehow… The Man of Steel, the Man of Power… losing control by the hour”
As I did with TBTL #2525, where I created an image that was related to the episode number, I took inspiration from the episode number #2600 and wanted to create something that was based on the Atari 2600 gaming console. So, I recreated a version of the Atari 2600, but replaced the switch labels, cartridge and the Atari logo with some TBTL-related phrases. It was done in Adobe Illustrator and used some generated effects to simulate the wood grain and some of the texture on the original console’s plastic parts. I sent an e-mail to Luke and Andrew requesting it to be used as a show picture for #2600 and if they could play “Pac Man Fever” as the song to end the show with. Well, the latter didn’t happen; but, what did happen was even better.
Luke and Andrew:Â Mentioning the TBTL/Atari 2600 image created for the show, Luke saying that the request was to talk as a musical robot and doing so
At the very beginning of the show, the guys played a voicemail left by an unnamed listener singing her take of the “Samson and Deliliah” rap song that Andrew had been describing on the show. Also, there was a voicemail message left by the Stu-bot that was played towards the end of the show.
Listener:Â Singing a version of “Samson and Delilah” based on Andrew’s description of the original song
As Luke and Andrew were trying to figure out which song they wanted to close out #2585 with, they remembered that the Stu-bot had sent in a recommendation to Luke via e-mail; but, Luke was not able to find that e-mail. So, Andrew called the Stu-bot to ask him what that recommendation was. Due to the setup, Luke was not able to directly talk to the Stu-bot and tried to lob in a question at the end.
Steve Neuman, Andrew and Luke: Phone call with the Stu-bot
Andrew and Luke: “I betcha David from the Basement has been playing your guitar… Little brother’s getting in your stuff. Stay out of my room, David! (Oh, man!) God! I’m gonna tell my mom. You should”
Andrew: “But, I am doing something… different today. Something I’ve never done before… and, something that is… a… little… scary… I’m going to do the show alone… no co-host. No Luke, no Nick, no Hanna, no Bean, no nobody… It’s just me”
Andrew: “Thank you guys so much… for donating to make this show possible. Maybe, not this show. Maybe, not today’s show. Maybe, you don’t even what your names associated with today’s show… but, they are. But, they are, aren’t they!!?”
Steve Neuman and Andrew: “I know you don’t even own a TV; cuz, TV is no friend of yours. I don’t even call it a TV. I call it a television… cuz, TV is a nickname”
