TBTL WITH LUKE BURBANK

Bono’s Favorite Band? Not Pavement

Nov 21, 2014, 8:36 AM | Updated: 8:39 am

Until a couple months ago I had no idea U2 was still a thing. Since then, Bono force fed an album to non-fans with an iPhone gavage, apologized, had his luggage strewn out over Europe, and dumped his bike in NYC resulting in multiple surgeries. All reports say he’ll eventually be fine, but even if things go south and he doesn’t make it there’s a plan in place to keep the band going. Because the Irishman is already famous for the wraparound glaucoma goggles a good taxidermist could help set up a Weekend At Bono’s Tour and wring many more millions from U2’s nostalgic fan base.

I’ve never attended SantaCon but I was in a fraternity, so I know what it’s like to be really drunk and think I’m cool. It’s not inappropriate at all to regret those moments in our lives. What was surprising was the stern judgment in Andrew’s tone. Take it easy, Hodor Kotb, I’m sure there are some skeletons shivering in your pastrami locker.

My wife is also addicted to Forensic Files. When we met she didn’t have TV at her house so she was excited to watch some when we checked into a hotel in Baton Rouge during the Thanksgiving holiday. The first night I woke up at 4:00am to the glow of the TV and her staring at me. She had watched so many true crime shows that she was formulating a plan to murder me before I could murder her. Everything in moderation, folks.

My “government” is Mike Frizzell. Friend me on Facebook where I assume you care very much about what states I’ve visited. Follow me @drewmcfrizz on Twitter. Check out Takedown Podcast’s Facebook page where a couple people are defending scotch as a legitimate alcohol choice.

We love Andrew. And like the rest of our loved ones he drives us crazy sometimes.

New York Times columnist David Carr died on Thursday night. The guys did a great job eulogizing him and there's little praise I could add.

Harper “Buddy” Lee: You Can’t Bust Her!

I spent a blog "week off" mourning the Sea-Yuks loss but I was still listening to the show. There are so many issues it feels like time for my first USA Today/Larry King style post.

Touched “a” Verve… or “The” Verve?

On the morning of January 23rd, 2006 my phone rang while I was eating breakfast. I had a sore throat so my "hello" was weak and hoarse.
