Things that are cool as hell: Ernest Borgnine crankin' it, Wings Hauser doing a big, fat, Texan accent, Roy Starkey (the Chamber of Commerce's Man of the Year, 1985), The Admiral, and of course an attack helicopter with all sort of buttons that say things like "sidewinder" and "chaff"Well guess what folks? This podcast episode features all of those things and all at once! That's because the BTBs are FINALLY covering the 80s espionage show Airwolf! But while all those things are cool in and of themselves, there's one thing you can add to make everything EVEN BETTER. Have you figured out what it is yet? No it's not a monkey shooting a bazooka (but close guess) it's a SECOND attack helicoper fighting the first attack helicopter!If you need more reasons to listen to this episode then you're a lost cause. So strap in, push the button which causes your helicopter to start the podcast, and get ready to be blown away

But before we find out about all sorts of architect stuff Spencer turns the tables on Van in a twist no one saw comingFinally Brian finishes up the year's stories by romping through yet another tale in the Death Race series with Van's Death Race 3000.

Ep 164 | Columbo: "Murder by the Book"
The Boob Tube Boys already covered Columbo over 160 episodes ago... BUT THERE'S JUST ONE MORE THING! (Ooh that's the thing Columbo says!!!)That one thing is that the BTBs want to cover Columbo again. That's all. So they doIn this one our heroic detective has to figure out how a short, horny little man with a silver tongue killed his writing partner. The duo of course are the creators of the hit series of mystery novels featuring Mrs. Melville, and clearly there is strife between them. You can bet the boys make jokes about Columbo being a little garbage gremlin, but what you didn't know would happen in this podcast episode is... (Ahh! I was killed by a villain! You'll have to listen to find out! Ahh!)
Boob Tube Boys is a comedy podcast where three friends talk about TV shows from days past. Each week, Van Lee, Spencer Hendricks, and Brian Vaughan tackle a different episode of an old show, offering insight and inanity along the way. If you're into abject silliness, television tropes, and joking around with your friends, you've come to the right place!
