Talk Shows

It's hot in the Complete Guide studio this week, causing all sorts of mayhem. Tom's selfish use of a portable fan causes a rift in a friendship, while the heat causes something to come loose in Tim's brain, resulting in a movie pitch about Michael Jackson's faked death that is somehow tied to some Mrs. Doubtfire-esque shenanigans in the White House. Also, Tim delves into his new life as a man who comments on articles on the internet.

But ultimately this week, we have food on the mind, breaking down the uproar over the recently announced French Fry Burger from Burger King and Tom is upset that some products purport to have secret ingredients.

In a new installment of Tim & Tim Solve Your Problems, we help a beatboxing champion turned plumber map out the rest of his life, and give some sleuthing advice regarding a mysterious building in Tokyo.

Summary:

Lisa Currick was once as bright and open as the sunny Bur Marigold wildflower of her native Wyoming. That's how New York City Detective Shane Garrison has remembered her since she figured in his first investigation eight years ago. But when he arrives in her hometown determined to resolve the final element of that case, he discovers the girl he's remembered has become a very different woman.

Once open-hearted and artistic, Lisa has put all that aside for a life of order and discipline. And Shane wants to know why. He can't forget the girl, but he's fascinated by the woman who challenges him to find answers inside himself.

My Heart Remembers: Wyoming Wildflowers, Book 3 by Patricia McLinn, Narrated by Julia Motyka

Matt Giroveanu, Rachel Bouton, and Kiki Mikkelson improvise a love song in Vern’s Audible special, "A Very Improvised Holiday Musical".  The prompt for the special was to create a new holiday on the spot, and the live audience chose “pickles” as the celebratory food, “periwinkle and maroon” as the holiday’s colors, and “the poop emoji” as the sacred symbol (Oh, millennials). But the resulting musical is surprisingly sweet.

A Very Improvised Holiday Musical (Teaser Clip)

Exclusively on Audible, an original audio documentary narrated by award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker.

It’s always hard to make the crowd laugh — especially when joking about war, PTSD, and mental health. Strong Ending follows three military veterans as they attempt to turn their most painful stories into laughs by participating in a stand-up comedy boot camp.

After joining the military, deploying to combat zones, and coming home fundamentally changed, Michael Garvey, Isaura Ramirez, and Patrick Harth challenge themselves to share their stories on stage and perform original stand up-comedy about their experiences for a packed house.

Narrated by Emmy and Tony award-winning actress Mary-Louise Parker and featuring interviews with professional comedians Rob Riggle (The Daily Show, The Hangover) and Maria Bamford (Lady Dynamite, Arrested Development), Strong Ending explores the science behind the healing power of laughter and the role of military-comedies in popular culture.

Audible is audio entertainment that educates, entertains, and inspires. Our unmatched selection of audiobooks and original premium podcasts feature performances by unforgettable narrators and A-list celebrities. Listen anywhere, anytime with our free Audible app.

When it comes to music, I have an open mind about it. Music is the universal language after all so what one listens to can certainly have come from another genre. All the more discovery to be had! I also have a Spotify account which happens to be a maelstrom of playlists, but I've made a definite Folder entitled My Spotify Playlists (hey, originality doesn't mean you can single me out... Or can you? Well, you get the idea.) Feel free to follow me if you so wish on both as I plan on taking music from each. Happy listening!
