#4185 Dome Do Me Like That
Andrew is ashamed at how much energy he spent arguing something in his head (and online) yesterday, but he’s trying to make the best of it. Plus, Luke has had a couple of run-ins with robots and artificial intelligence recently, and they both went pretty well!
Customer Reviews
Tens Forevah!
Luke and Andrew and the amazing online Tens Community truly are curing global loneliness. In fact, TBTL is the only reason I have not completely lost my sanity this year. Thank you TBTL, pod pets, and fellow Tens! Highly highly recommend!
it’s like listening to your two best friends talk
Comfort listening at its finest, I always enjoy hearing Luke and Andrew talk about their daily lives, and their candid honesty about both the little and big things in our lives that make a big difference for us all. I feel like I know them personally, and I listen to them all the time every day. Highly recommend for anyone!
The best show about nothing and everything
It’s 2023, and this review from 6 years ago is still true - they are my best imaginary friends!
I’m never sure how to describe TBTL...but I can say that I’ve been listening every weekday since 2012ish! Luke and Andrew are friends that chat every day about their lives. It’s funny, full of inside jokes, often heartfelt, but never saccharine. All I can say is, give it a listen for a few days, and I bet you’ll be hooked!
