Pro football is done, baseball hasn't started, the NBA is in the midst of a strike-shortened lackluster season, what is a sports fan to do? Today we'll chat with TBTL Friendos Randy and Jason Sklar, hosts of the awesomely awesome podcast Sklarbro Country. Don't worry if you're not a sports fan, we'll probably spend most of the time analyzing this awkward handshake from their childhood.

I just finished my new favorite book. It is long, but engaging from the first page.

In A Discovery of Witches there are four kinds of people: humans, witches, daemons and vampires. A group of scholars at Oxford find a book that's a thousand years old and it just might hold the key to the origin of all the species.

It's a mystery and a great love story filled with adventure and the greatest theme of all: the fight for true love.

After last night I am still confused about what a Channing Tatum is (or a Tatum Channing, can never remember which way it goes) but the fake ad on SNL for Downton Abbey on SpikeTV was amazing:

I know that most people in the country are watching the Superbowl today, but I truly believe that most of them are just passing the time until 9pm tonight.

ps, time-permitting, we might even get a chance to talk about Gabe's other great love, his man bun(!)

As you might have heard, we had Ira scheduled to join us on our 1,000th. Sadly, through a series of miscommunications (we've GOT to do something about this Palm Pilot), it didn't come together. Well in the words of Toni Braxton, you can Unbreak Your Hearts, because we'll chat with him today on TBTL.
