A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan

Tom Vann & Dan Dennis

Tom and Dan were once sitting in a hotel room in Daytona Beach, Florida where the air-condition didn't work, they were out of beer, and the cable only had 2 channels that came in static free. One of their friends suggested that they leave and attempt to find something better to do to which Dan replied "Why would we want to ruin a mediocre time?"

If you were to ask "Tom and Dan" what the meaning of life is, they might tell you that there is none. Born from a feeling that nothing in life truly matters and that for the most part we're all surrounded by scumbags, "Tom and Dan" figured out that there's only one true constant in life; laughter. How did they come to that conclusion? It's all they have. You see, just like the mass majority of us, "T & D" have day jobs and it was at said day job where they cued in on the fact that some of the greatest laughs came at the end of the day. There's just something about the relaxed feeling of knowing that you have very little time left at work to put in. Maybe it's the "punch drunkenness" of still being at work; no one is quite sure. There they sat in their office, the door shut to their co-workers and management, only making each other laugh to the point of tears. Finally they realized that it might not be such a bad idea to roll tape on these conversations. Why not? They would be having them anyway, taped or not, and it was fun. Both of them come from rather lengthy broadcasting careers so setting up a home studio wasn't so hard to do. And with the addition of Ross, the consummate straight man and "News Dad", things got even more "mediocre." Broadcasting since 2009 has garnered a rather extensive following for "T & D" with loyal "scumbags" (as their listeners are affectionately known) checking in from all across the world. Hundreds of shows under their belts and winners of the Orlando Weekly's "Best of Orlando 2011" for "Best Kept Secret" reassures them both that yes…no one is listening! (Best Kept Secret? HA!)

    894 - 69 Come Sticks

    A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "69 Come Sticks" (#894) Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads Bart the Realtor / The Bart Marek Team: Opened with a host doing a "cool dude" character, then Bart called in. He said Central Florida real estate is having a rough, locked-up year because 30-year rates are near 7.25%. Cash buyers have the edge, and homes that have sat for a month or more have room to negotiate. His team is also doing a lot of estate, job-loss, and divorce sales. barttherealtor.com has cell numbers for Bart Marek and Crystal Vann. Bart has been a gold star sponsor for nearly 15 years. Seaz Nuts 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise: On the MSC Seashore out of Port Canaveral, with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay. Interior staterooms start at $1,200 for two and include Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and a premium drink package (15 drinks a day). There will be a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke contest. Deposits at tomanddancruise2027.com. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com): Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor. Trail of Terror "Sweet 16": At Peghorn Nature Preserve in St. Cloud, six dates only. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, via the zombie girl link on TomandDan.com. Supported by Experience Kissimmee and Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. Modern Plumbing Industries (modernpi.com): Mention Tom & Dan for 10% off. The read included a listener story about a sewer backup coming up a shower drain. They cover all Central Florida counties, residential and industrial, including cast iron pipe relining. My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke. Cruise sponsors: justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters. Segment Rundown Cold open: cool dude character. The Bart ad read was framed around a revived "cool dude" character that Bart likes. Afterward the hosts argued over how to sign off after a sponsor read. Cruise update: $20 bump. Dan debuted a new "Yachty" sound effect. The first block of balcony cabins sold out, and Tony from Ahoy Cruises got a second block at $20 more, which he was angry about for the listeners' sake. Inside cabins are still at the original price, but another block could cost more. Deposits are fully refundable until a couple of months before sailing. The hosts mocked anyone who cancels. Falcons and Garth tonight. Tom was still wound up after the Falcons game, where a rough first quarter gave way to a strong performance. Moe DeWitt invited the crew, Ross included, to the Garth Brooks show at the Kia Center that night. They joked about how many people dropped out before Tom and Dan got invited, and guessed Buzz Stecker would skip it. Crystal had been playing Garth's greatest hits on Amazon Music (the audio quality got panned), and a host's daughter caught him in "Garth mode." Favorites included "Callin' Baton Rouge" and "Friends in Low Places." Billionaire musicians quiz. A report that Garth considered selling his catalog, valued around $2 billion, led into a guessing game about the six billionaire musicians. The crew landed Jay-Z, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. Rihanna got an asterisk because most of her money comes from her cosmetics line. Ross also floated "A billion is a lot" as a T-shirt. Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole: Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog. The album was meant to set up a movie called The Lamb, a thriller about a fan trying to prove Gaines was murdered. The character was written as a sex addict, and Garth would have needed an Australian accent. The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit. The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad. The hosts compared the idea to Borat and to found-footage horror. A host remembered seeing a found-footage film at the Enzian with its UCF filmmakers and believing it was real. Caller Cara: nanny stories. Cara was a nanny for a top makeup artist who worked with Garth, Faith Hill, Reba and others. She said Garth's team went along with the Gaines look because nobody told him no. She lived on the artist's property in her early 20s and fried okra and chicken at Faith Hill's Southern-style baby shower. The artist's husband played in Barbara Mandrell's band. The hosts brought up Tom's childhood nanny again. They also recalled the Gaines album ending up in bargain bins once record stores over-ordered. Garth, music rights, and yes-men. Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music. The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes. Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees. Claims from a 2013 lawsuit by an ex-business partner: Garth supposedly passed on Twister (the Helen Hunt role) and Saving Private Ryan to avoid sharing the spotlight. His Padres spring training stint was for charity (a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs), not a real tryout. Dan admitted arguing with Claude about it before conceding. Pre-internet news coverage made stunts like this confusing. Caller Charles: concert parking. BDM Charles was taking his wife to the Garth show for their 23rd anniversary and asked for parking tips. The hosts first gave joke advice: tip a random guy in a construction vest to valet your car. Then came real tips about the Kia Center lots and a gate most people don't know about. Dan's partner Andrea has a secret back-alley parking route. The crew planned crispy tavern-style pizza downtown and Uber rides home. Ross's Uber nightmare. After Wu-Tang Clan at the MidFlorida amphitheater in Tampa, Ross and his wife could see their Hard Rock hotel balcony but had I-4 in the way. Rideshare signs led them nowhere, and the app's pickup point was a slab of concrete in an empty fairgrounds field. The driver stayed in a different lot and stopped answering, while black SUVs kept offering rides. They ended up walking toward a distant Hampton Inn. Chat and hosts piled on about Uber's decline (rider-rating filtering, cancellations) and a Waymo that got stuck in traffic. Break: ska block. The Family Business Limited's "Still a Jamaican" (new album out today) and the Barstool Preachers' "Want to Know" (pick of the week), followed by the Trail of Terror read. Oviedo e-bike arrest. A News 6 clip covered an 11-year-old in Oviedo who got a written arrest for riding a Sur-Ron-style electric dirt bike near Sweetwater Park. He bought it with $900 from selling squirrel picnic tables. The charges were an unregistered vehicle, no insurance, no motorcycle endorsement, and no eye protection. His father called it an overreach, and the boy will miss school for court. Tom recalled his brother getting a written arrest for riding a dirt bike on the street. Officer interview: e-bike law. A BDM police officer (name unclear in the transcript) called in: The crackdown follows a wave of crashes and kids getting hurt, plus newer statutes that classify e-bikes. With working pedals it's a bicycle. With the pedals removed it's a motor vehicle. Fake pedals may get riders by some officers. Enforcement is at the officer's discretion: a civil infraction with a misdemeanor consequence. Registering a Sur-Ron takes blinkers, lights, and a plate. Dan's old scooter has only an antique tag. Stand-up scooters are speed-regulated, and OneWheels are unregulated. You can get a DUI on anything motorized. Adults can be charged for letting an unlicensed minor drive. Traffic court has a hearing officer, not prosecutors. Seminole County is stricter than Orange. Afterward the hosts wondered how their Miami friend Turkey Leg, who rides one, would react. Wu-Tang concert recap. Ross described the night: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony opened with medleys, including an Eazy-E tribute and a Biggie and Tupac tribute. RZA gave a spoken history of the group, then the set ran through 36 Chambers material and solo spots for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, and a Mobb Deep member. Method Man showed off his physique and hair, which set up the TRT joke. There was a memorial tribute to late rappers. The reveal: ODB's parts were performed by his son, Young Dirty Bastard. His mother tried to steer him away from music, and RZA didn't cast him in the American Saga series. The hosts traded ODB stories and tried, unsuccessfully, to play a TRL clip. Seacrest and aging. A host's parents cut cable and now use an antenna for NFL games, which means catching Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune. The crew discussed Seacrest's changed face, weight loss versus cosmetic work, and his frosted tips at his age. Vanna White came up too. Tom said he's getting gray streaks and would dye his hair, which got jokes about jet-black "magician hair." Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Nathan Fielder's secretive Holmes documentary screened at a festival with breathless reviews but no specifics. It's rated R for graphic nudity. The leading theory was that it includes a childbirth video. The crew expected a three-hour absurdist art piece and joked about betting on its reception on Kalshi. They noted a trailer scene where her husband takes the whisk from her while she's making eggs. Ross's theory: the story turns to Holmes cheating on him. That led to a tangent on Italian brainrot videos, Skibidi Toilet being over, "6-7," and how much Fortnite has changed. Break: pop punk block. Rivals' "Adrenaline Rush," the Modern PI read, and Cartel. "Mother of the Year" video. In a viral Giants broadcast clip, a mom juggles a baby, a carrier, and stacks of food and drinks back to her seat while her husband sits idle, and the announcers roast him. Tom defended the dad, saying partners who don't ask for help end up making the other person look bad. The others ribbed him for how he phrased it. Dan described Andrea handing off their daughter at Magic and Orlando City games so she could take a break. Ross offered a gentler defense, citing $25 concert beers and sending his wife to the beer tent. Dan shared Andrea's backhanded compliment that she's glad he drinks less, but "even this one scares me." Dripstick product. Ross got a targeted ad after Monday's cruise talk about tampons. The product is Awkward Essentials' Dripstick, a post-sex sponge applicator. The hosts read the instructions, then argued at length about hygiene and peeing after sex. Dan explained his cleanup routine, and Tom compared it to cleaning a paint sprayer or a beer line. The product's FAQ recommends peeing afterward anyway. The punchline was a "69 for $69" deal, which gave the episode its title, plus a joke return address on the "discreet packaging." Caller Toad King. Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive. Tom's crazy fact: snakebites. The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number. The answer is about 58,000, mostly rural. The crew discussed the colonial snake-bounty story (often called an urban legend), India's "big four" venomous snakes, the Monsters of God documentary, and a story about someone stealing a nearly extinct tortoise breeding population. Plugs and wrap. Ross plugged The Orlando Talk Show and the Moe Comedy Jam. The cruise price increase got a reminder, and they announced Villain Roasters' new location with a possible Tom & Dan chicken-and-waffle item and a meetup. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Today (Friday): Garth Brooks at the Kia Center, with the crew attending as Moe DeWitt's guests. The Family Business Limited's new album is out. Next Tuesday: Court date for the Oviedo 11-year-old in the e-bike case. Monday: Next show. October 9 and 10: Trail of Terror, Peghorn Nature Preserve, St. Cloud. The 17th (month not specified): Moe Comedy Jam at the Orlando Funny Bone (formerly the Improv), hosted by Ross McCoy and Larry Helms, with Will Blalock, Amy LaCour, and Sean Fenergate.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door via TomandDan.com.

He's a comedian and host of The Orlando Talk Show. Bart Marek: Sponsor call-in with the real estate market update. Cara: Caller who was a nanny for a top 90s makeup artist, with stories about Garth's team and Faith Hill's baby shower. BDM Charles: Caller asking for Kia Center parking tips before taking his wife to Garth for their 23rd anniversary.

Comedy/fame tangent — Riff on the burdens of being unusually tall or funny, the difficulty of making a living in comedy or pro sports, and a shoutout to comedian David Jolly's grind, distinguished from the unrelated politician of the same name appearing in local ads.

Reality TV deep dive: Superstar USA and "The Contestant" — Recap of the 2004 WB show Superstar USA (a reverse American Idol mocking bad singers, including a contestant compared to William Hung), and a much darker Japanese hidden-camera show (subject later identified as Nasubi/Tomoaki Hamatsu) that secretly broadcast a man's year-plus isolation to millions, an inspiration for The Truman Show; mention of the 2024 Hulu documentary The Contestant covering it.

    892 - Sewing Them All Over Town

    A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: "Sewing Them All Over Town" (Ep. 892) Hosts: Dan, Tom | Guest: Ross McCoy (in-studio comedian), Collette Fehr (in-studio, co-host of the Love Thy Neighbor Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): Dr. Powers' clinic pitched for hormone replacement therapy, GLP-1 weight loss, and gut health testing; Dan and Tom discuss Andrea's results and personal experiences with the practice. Tom and Dan Cruise ("Seaz Nuts 2027"): Booking now for a four-night sailing (Thursday–Sunday) out of Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore, stopping in Nassau and Ocean Cay, with interior staterooms starting at $1,200 for two guests; deposits at tomanddancruise2027.com. Just Call Moe: Studio sponsorship mention — the show broadcasts live from the "Just Call Moe" studio. Surfshark VPN: Brief plug tied into a bit about streaming content while traveling. Bud Docs (buddocs.org): Dr. Shin Latte's medical marijuana recommendation service — a listener testimonial is read, pricing is covered (existing patients $125, new patients $175, transfers $99), and the hosts note he also curates dispensary deals. Moe Comedy Jam: Interactive, audience-voted comedy show co-hosted by Dan and Larry Fulford, coming to the Orlando Funny Bone. Fair Villa Megastore (fairvilla.com): Longtime sponsor promoted for sexual wellness products and their upcoming Halloween party. Segment Rundown Cold open, AI content: Dan and Tom open riffing on AI-generated celebrity content (fake Conan O'Brien interview clips) and the flood of AI-inserted figures into viral videos, sliding into a candid discussion of AI-generated adult content versus traditional material. 9/11 "fifth plane" theory: Ross brings up a TMZ documentary claiming a fifth 9/11 flight was locked down after hijackers were discovered hiding aboard, and the FBI allegedly investigated it but never went public. The hosts are skeptical of TMZ as a source but debate why the government might suppress or promote such a story, and how the "never comply, fight back" mindset changed after Flight 93. Deathbed confessions tangent: A joking detour into fake and real deathbed confessions, including a supposed Bigfoot hoaxer, D.B. Cooper impersonators, and a man who claimed on his deathbed to have been Billy the Kid, with details that reportedly lined up. Rick Springfield on Joe Rogan: Discussion of Rick Springfield's recent Rogan appearance, where at 77 he still looks noticeably fit, and his story about performing for troops in Vietnam as a teenager, being invited to fire mortar rounds during an attack, and later learning one may have killed an enemy soldier — a memory he says has haunted him since. T&D history — first celebrity interviews: Dan and Tom recall that Rick Springfield was their first-ever celebrity phone interview back in 2009 (booked under an assumed name to keep it separate from their radio day jobs), followed shortly by Willie Aames ("Bibleman"). They play a clip of that original interview in which Springfield discusses having dated a 15-year-old Linda Blair when he was 25, a topic he has apparently repeated in interviews since, including reportedly telling CNN the same story a year after telling them. Voicemail — Sheetz vs. gas station food: A voicemail (referencing Ross's earlier trip to Pennsylvania) praises Sheetz's fried food menu — mini corn dogs, loaded potato bites, fried mac and cheese, Cinnabon pockets — sparking a tangent about whether corn dogs are already fried before baking, and a detour into Bojangles' potato rounds and onions. Wawa vs. 7-Eleven: A running debate over which convenience store chain is better, including Dan's story about a confrontational man outside his local Wawa, complaints about removed seating areas and homeless encampments, and a friendly dispute over food and service quality between the chains. Publix "Picks" nostalgia and Mountain Dew story: The hosts reminisce about the discontinued Publix Picks gas station/convenience concept (magazine racks, pub subs) and recall the old news story of a Deltona location where an employee contaminated bottles of Mountain Dew, tying into a related story about a homemade prank drink at a high school party. Caller — gas station culture: A caller (a lawn care/pest control worker) discusses favorite gas-station food chains, including Parker's Kitchen, his late father's love of the discontinued Golden Skillet and Hardee's fried chicken, the old Mr. Donut vs. Dunkin' Donuts rivalry, and Bojangles' spicy Cajun filet biscuit. Old-school gas station nostalgia: Dan and Ross reminisce about classic gas stations with bulletproof clerk booths, oddball inventory (cat litter, dog bones), overnight customers doing full grocery runs, Uber Eats "pickers," and pre-GPS customers stopping in to read paper maps. Caller — Debary Joe, Bojangles order: A recurring caller ("Debary Joe") calls in live to have Dan and Ross help him build his ideal Bojangles Uber Eats order (sausage Bo-Berry biscuit, spicy Cajun filet, potato rounds, Texas Pete), which Dan compares to his daughter Maisie's go-to order. Domino's deal talk: A brief exchange about a cheap Domino's delivery promotion and the "Brookie" dessert used to hit delivery minimums. Guest Collette Fehr — Aaron Rodgers/Shailene Woodley: Collette Fehr (co-host of the Love Thy Neighbor podcast) joins to discuss Aaron Rodgers' comments on a podcast about ex-partner Shailene Woodley, in which he claimed she wanted to be with someone else before their planned wedding, and separate comments about ex Danica Patrick. The group discusses the ethics of public figures discussing past relationships negatively, with Collette (a couples therapist) noting how people who consistently blame exes are usually part of the pattern themselves. "Sowing wild oats" discussion: Building off the Rodgers story, the group debates the value of dating multiple people before marriage, with Collette offering a therapist's perspective that lacking that experience is rarely what actually damages long-term relationships. Lightning strike death: A somber turn to the story of a Michigan college student interning at Walt Disney World who was struck by lightning and killed while jogging in Orlando, with Dan and Tom recalling their own recent close encounter with a lightning strike near Lake Baldwin. Trump midterm convention remarks: The hosts read and react to comments President Trump made at a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, including having the crowd raise their hands in a pledge and remarks about voting and cheating. Koi fish story from Thailand: A news story about a man in Thailand caught on video engaging in sexual contact with a neighbor's koi fish, with a prior history involving other animals, leads to a debate over relative cruelty to animals (fishing, catch-and-release) versus this incident.

Deposit info at tomanddancruise2027.com; later in the show they note roughly 150 people have already signed up. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com) — Attorney Moe Dewitt sponsors the show; pitched twice as a personal recommendation from Dan. Promotes his free VIP program (event invites), the Moe Grand Prix in Tampa, an interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross coming in October, and the annual Moe Celebrity Bowlarama. Core Flooring Center (coreflooringfl.com) — Owner Corey's Central Florida showroom (walkable flooring samples). Listeners get 10% off flooring and labor starting at $1/sq ft, 0% financing for 24 months, and dustless flooring removal; a portion of sales supports local pet charities. Segment Rundown Show open and download-count banter — Tom and Dan kick off the Friday free show joking about being too comfortable on air and touting the show's roughly 20 million total downloads over nearly 30 years. Savannah's dramatic entrance — The hosts joke about a professionally produced "Crocodile Dundee"-style intro bit for Savannah, then she bursts in late, having just come from getting a traffic ticket. Expired-tag traffic stop story — Savannah recounts being pulled over driving from Gatorland for an expired vehicle registration, getting warned a repeat stop could mean jail, and paying a $114 ticket. The group riffs on DMV renewal hassles, automated license-plate-reading cameras, and Dan's own past run-in with an expired driver's license (including his wife Crystal once telling a cop she was driving because his license was suspended). Australia trip recap: Northern Territory and viral songs — Savannah describes her month-long stay near Darwin with her friend Catherine's teenage kids, then plays two viral local songs ("Pink Blush" and a track by Young Miami), sparking a debate about fast-fashion brands like Shein versus the designer-brand references in older rap. Remembering Dolly Parton — The group discusses Dolly Parton's recent death, with Savannah recalling the outpouring of sympathy she got from Australians while traveling, a bit about post office flags at half-staff, and a running joke about Dan dressing as Dolly for Halloween. Filming crocodile feedings — Savannah describes filming pig-meat crocodile feedings for content and a near-miss when a crocodile bumped her GoPro rig underwater. The crocodile-poop diamond ring — Savannah tells the story of pulling a tarnished diamond ring out of crocodile droppings while cleaning park drains, brings it into the studio, and the group speculates on how it got there (a lost tourist's ring, a ring embedded in pig meat, or something a "nuisance" crocodile swallowed years earlier) and whether she'd return it if she ever traced it to a victim's family. Wombat and wallaby encounters — Savannah describes her daily play sessions (and occasional bites) with a wombat named Rocket and a standoffish wallaroo named King George at the park. Tease for jet lag / NFL Australia segment — Brief tease before the break about discussing jet lag and the NFL game being played in Australia the following week. AI-assisted ring analysis — Back from break, Dan reveals he ran a description of the ring through Claude, which suggested a sterling-silver band with an oval clear stone in a style common from the 1920s–1960s and recommended a jeweler test for a maker's mark; the hosts jokingly dangle a free cruise spot for whoever can positively identify the ring. The mystery poop bag / Seth Petruzzelli reveal — Callback to a bit about a dog-poop bag left outside the studio all week; caller Brandon had correctly guessed it belonged to former guest Seth Petruzzelli, confirmed via a group text from Seth (on a cruise). Brandon is rewarded with a Tom & Dan merchandise prize pack. Jet lag mechanics and NFL Australia games — Savannah explains why the trip home from Australia hits harder than the trip there, recounting driving on the wrong side of the road and getting lost the morning after landing. This leads into discussion of the 49ers vs. Rams Week 1 game in Australia and whose travel plan (acclimating a week early vs. arriving 24 hours out) will backfire. Wheel of Fortune announcer scandal — The hosts discuss announcer Jim Thornton's firing after being seen on a flight accessing an online support community for people with pedophilic thoughts, debating intent and why the network cut ties regardless. Plane screen-privacy and targeted-ad tangent — A bit about people snooping on neighbors' phone/laptop screens on flights, Dan's admission to browsing a friend-of-the-show burlesque performer's photos mid-flight, and a riff on social media ads seeming to "listen in" on conversations. Otter attack news story — A news item about a woman injured by an otter while open-water swimming leads to a tangent celebrating unstoppable elderly athletes (swimmers, runners, pickleball players). "Last Stop Laramie" documentary recommendation — Savannah recommends an HBO Max true-crime documentary about an unsolved murder in a tiny Northern Territory town, calling it "homework" for listeners; also mentions the 20th anniversary of Steve Irwin's death and shares Australian "strawberry cloud" candy with the hosts. Burning Man riff ("bring the vinegar") — An extended bit about Burning Man culture: having to rinse off alkaline playa dust with vinegar (the episode's namesake joke), gripes about big festival crowds and sound quality, trash left behind at the event, and a running gag about starting a mini parody version called "Burning Dan." Shoes and celebrity memorabilia tangent — A bit about favorite oversized New Balance "Willie Nelson" sneakers (with a mention of Willie Nelson's own shoes on display in Nashville), followed by talk of friends' celebrity memorabilia — a Dolly Parton outfit, Betty White's door, a talking Satchmo doll, and an animatronic singing Alan Jackson Santa. Social media algorithm suppression and Instagram "breakup" — Savannah explains how Instagram throttles her reach unless she posts risky "running from crocodiles" content, even losing followers off a 1.5-million-view viral video, and describes going on a content blackout and writing the platform a "Dear John" video letter. The group connects this to algorithms rewarding negativity and the growing uncertainty over AI-generated content online. Voicemail: TikTok algorithm burnout — A listener voicemail says the TikTok algorithm has gotten worse and they've switched to rewatching old shows (Vice Principals, The Righteous Gemstones); the hosts riff on preferring classic sitcoms (The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Golden Girls) over TikTok and note wanting to watch "Monsters of God," a documentary Savannah says she knows people featured in. Show close — Sign-off wishing listeners a safe Labor Day weekend, a reminder the show is off Monday and returns Tuesday with the BDM show, an apology for canceling Thursday's show due to Dan's emergency root canal, and a closing plug for the 2027 "Seaz Nuts" Tom and Dan Cruise, noting strong early sign-ups. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Next week: NFL Week 1 game played in Australia (49ers vs. Rams), discussed re: jet lag. Monday: Show is off. Tuesday: Show returns with the BDM edition. October: Just Call Moe's interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross. September 23–26, 2027: Tom and Dan "Seaz Nuts" Cruise, sailing from Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore (Nassau and Ocean Cay stops) — deposits open now at tomanddancruise2027.com. Ongoing/unscheduled: Moe Grand Prix (Tampa) and Moe Celebrity Bowlarama, plugged via justcallmoe.com's VIP program. Notable Guests/Callers Savannah — In-studio guest from Gatorland; recounted her month-long Australia trip, the crocodile-poop diamond ring find, and her ongoing standoff with Instagram's algorithm. Brandon — Phone-in caller who correctly guessed that former guest Seth Petruzzelli left the poop bag outside the studio; awarded a Tom & Dan prize pack. Seth Petruzzelli — Referenced (not on air) via a group text confirming he was the "poop bag culprit." Unnamed voicemail caller — Left a voicemail about TikTok algorithm burnout, prompting the closing sitcom-nostalgia discussion. ### Website: https://tomanddan.com/ App: https://tomanddan.com/app Become a BDM: https://tomanddan.com/registration Merch: https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/ X: https://x.com/TomAndDanLive TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss

Based in Jupiter, FL, one of the largest Stern dealers around; Andrew delivers, sets up, and teaches customers to play. Phone: 321-591-1062. Segment Rundown Show open / social plugs — Welcome to A Corporate Time, live on Twitch and YouTube; plug to follow @TomAndDanLive on all social platforms and subscribe to the YouTube channel for extra content. Ross McCoy joins, fantasy football draft recap — Comedian Ross McCoy is in studio; the guys recap their online fantasy draft (ESPN graded it an F) and lament that it wasn't done live, unlike a group of kids they saw drafting in person at a restaurant. The gray dog-poop-bag saga begins — Someone left a tied dog-poop bag in front of the studio's French doors in Baldwin Park; Dan is furious about the entitlement, identifies the bag as light gray/taupe, and vows to hunt down whoever's carrying a matching bag. Poop-bag standoff and shame tactics — Ross suggests a yard sign like ones he's seen ("the poop fairy doesn't live here"); talk turns to flyers or a Nextdoor post to publicly identify the culprit. Dan insists he'll never touch the bag himself. Would money change his mind? — Hypothetical debate over what dollar amount would get Dan to throw the bag away himself; he holds firm even at $9,000–$10,000. Concrete Mike calls in with a revenge plan — Phone-in regular Concrete Mike suggests identifying the dog owner, following them home, and leaving his own bagged waste on their porch in retaliation — "bag for a bag." What excuse would be acceptable? — The hosts debate what explanation (a genuine emergency, an apology note) might excuse the offender; conclude no amount of money would work, only a real emergency — tying into a broader gripe about declining everyday consideration. Dog poop etiquette debate — Discussion of whether bagging poop and tossing it in bushes counts as littering (Dan says yes), how to handle loose stool cleanup, and Dan noting his own dog never goes outside her own yard. "I only poop at home" — Tangent on people, including Tom's sons, who avoid public restrooms entirely. Nose-blowing vs. "snorting," and the mustache dilemma — Dan admits he's a lifelong nose-snorter, complicated by bad seasonal allergies and his mustache; considering shaving if the heat continues into a hot September. Jumbo jet flyover video at a South African rugby stadium — The guys watch and discuss a viral video of jets flying extremely close over a packed stadium through pyro smoke, debating whether the proximity is pilot skill or automated collision-avoidance technology, referencing past aviation tragedies. Tuddle (Patrick) joins via Zoom from Oak Hill — Longtime radio friend and stunt performer "Tuddle" checks in; catches up on the old Tom & Dan Airbnb (sold the remaining furniture back to the owner) and a new relationship he's in. Dating advice and "love bombing" — Talk of overthinking texts, "love bombing" vs. "love vacuuming," and ribbing Tom about his one-relationship track record. Tuddle's radio origin story: first hookup, 1999 — Tuddle recounts his producer days at The Crow in Daytona Beach, meeting a woman through an amateur strip contest at the Pink Pony, and an encounter on his program director's couch during a work trip while his bosses slept nearby. More stories from Tuddle's radio days — A hookup during a Fort Myers syndication trip (including having to inflate an air mattress by mouth) and a brief mention of a later fling with a former local news personality. Old-school radio intern/staffer culture — Nostalgia for 1990s–2000s radio, where junior staff ran errands and did off-the-books favors for hosts in exchange for airtime; Tuddle recalls an in-studio incident that got a colleague, Jimmy, suspended. Ellis Rad YouTube shoutout — Plug for Ellis Rad's YouTube channel, which archives old radio station tapes, jingles, and broadcasts. Listener voicemail: Stern reruns vs. the "best-of" model — Caller Ben ("Ben with the white hair") complains that SiriusXM's Howard Stern reruns are padded with unfunny staff-produced bits instead of continuous classic show audio. The hosts explain radio's "airtime as payment" practice for unpaid staffers, noting their own podcast benefited from similar free plugs early on. Kittens, cats, and an animal control ticket — Tuddle got an $85 ticket from Edgewater Animal Control for feeding stray cats living under his house; recounts the confrontation with the officer (a "police academy" jab may have sealed the ticket) and his plan to fight it. Dad's old-school animal stories — A string of stories about Tuddle's father dealing with yard cats, possums, and a stubborn pig when Tuddle was a kid, contrasted with how sheltered his own kids are today. Pig milk trivia — Discussion of why pigs aren't milked commercially (fast, irregular release, temperament) despite pig milk being calorie-dense; a listener named Crystal adds detail via chat that sows release milk in 15-second bursts. Tuddle wraps up — Floats producing a prerecorded segment for when the hosts are on break; mentions the Edgewater mayoral race and a political sign controversy involving a candidate named Diesel Depew. Weird Job Wednesday: NWA National Heavyweight Champion Brian Idol — Wrestler Brian Idol joins via Zoom for the recurring "Weird Job" segment; discusses growing up idolizing Hulk Hogan and later becoming friends with him and an ambassador for the Hulk Hogan Foundation. Breaking into wrestling — Idol describes the unconventional path he took (left home at 16, years of grinding) versus recommending newcomers attend a proper wrestling school, like the one he runs. Social-media fame vs. wrestling fundamentals — Compared to stand-up comedians who blow up online first; Idol says fundamentals still matter most, though pop-culture crossover can open doors. How dangerous wrestling rings really are — Idol explains most local rings are wood and steel with cheap carpet padding, not "trampolines," and describes the physical toll on wrestlers' bodies, citing Hulk Hogan's spine damage from years of leg drops. Trained by Sabu — Idol names Sabu (alongside RVD) as his primary trainer, calling him a quietly all-time-great of the business. The "fake guru" and fake-wrestler phenomenon in Tampa — Idol riffs on viral dating-app grifters and fake WWE wrestlers he's run into around Tampa/Orlando, including one who claimed to be at NXT for over a year before quietly admitting he'd been let go. NWA's TV deal and making it in the business — Idol notes the NWA's deal with Comet and upcoming placement on the Charge Network, reflecting on how small the percentage of pro wrestlers actually earning a living wage really is. A day in the life of a pro wrestler — Gym four to five days a week, frequent weekend travel for shows, and being recognized in public, like at his local Publix. Baby face vs. heel, and the title's history — Idol confirms he plays a baby face on-screen (more of a heel in real life) and discusses the National Heavyweight Championship's lineage, once held by Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorff, and Ted DiBiase, and its connection to his ring name's namesake, original champion Austin Idol. Working for Billy Corgan — Idol praises Corgan's stewardship of the NWA's legacy, describes their friendship and musical collaborations, and recalls touring as an on-stage act during Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day shows at venues including Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. How wrestling storylines get decided — Idol compares it to a TV writers' room, with Corgan as the main creative force, and says wrestlers earn spotlight through reliability and work ethic. Character vs. real self — Idol relates to the blurred line between wrestling persona and real identity, referencing Hulk Hogan's court testimony, and says he'd choose the wrestling life over anything else despite the sacrifices. Is there a middle-class tier in wrestling? — Idol says most wrestlers are either scraping by or making real money, but he's built a sustainable middle path by also running a wrestling school and renting out rings. Plugging FCW Wrestling Academy and wrap-up — Idol plugs his wrestling school in Pinellas Park (training alongside Natalia Markova and Mike Mondo), mentions two upcoming reality shows airing on Comet, and shows off an NWA-branded lunchbox featuring his own face before signing off. Post-interview banter and sign-off — The hosts riff on Idol's confidence, thank Miguel Cologne for booking the segment, and close out with a bit about a "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio on Halloween. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Halloween: A "lobster boy and bearded woman" wedding happening near the studio; the hosts jokingly consider attending. Coming soon: A new reality show featuring Brian Idol premiering on Comet (no specific date given). Ongoing/plug: The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net, 321-591-1062) — pinball machine rentals for homes, businesses, and events.

Recent celebrity deaths — The hosts run through a rough week of deaths, including Tim Curry, Dolly (referenced briefly), and the voice actor of Optimus Prime, riffing darkly on average lifespan.

Tom's dog Rocky and pet talk — Tom shows off his own dog Rocky on stream, admits he's been neglecting him since focusing on his young daughter, and the group jokes about pushing Tom's son Tommy toward wanting a dog or cat despite Tracy's reluctance. Karate class standards slipping — A tangent from the dojo talk about how kids today can't finish basic requirements (like a brown belt or three months of consistent training), tying into a broader "everything is getting weaker/no consequences" complaint, including schools making gym-class changing rooms optional now. Locker room embarrassment nostalgia — The hosts and Seth swap stories about being self-conscious getting undressed in front of others as kids and in a pro arena-football locker room as an adult. Seth's MRI/health update — Seth shares that he got a full-body MRI, compared it to one from two years prior, and got mostly good results except his prostate being "large side of normal." Seth's dojo being demolished — Seth explains his dojo's building is being torn down and he must vacate by November; he's negotiating a new space, planning to use students to help move (in exchange for food/drinks), and reflects on a black belt who's been especially helpful. Should Seth do a GoFundMe? — Debate over whether it's in good taste for a business to crowdfund when forced out by demolition, referencing a nearby business owner doing the same; jokes about a bikini car wash and a "GoFundMe vs. crowdfund" distinction (charity vs. general fundraising). The actual dojo car wash fundraiser — Dan recounts attending a real car-wash fundraiser for the dojo, paying more than requested because the kids did a thorough job. Daughter's Taco Bell complaint — Dan tells a story about his daughter filing an online complaint after Taco Bell repeatedly forgot part of her order.

Dojo move logistics and mock fundraiser pitch — More detail on moving costs (a mirror company hired just to transport dojo mirrors, a dumpster for old equipment); the group jokingly pitches an absurd "buy a black belt" crowdfunding tier system, with Seth explaining the real distinction between an official ranked black belt and a "junior/in-house" one. AI in podcast production — The show discusses no longer paying a human for intro songs/jingles, now using AI for notes and occasionally songs (though they still do some manual ones too), and debate the line between AI convenience and "authenticity" compared to corporate radio. Prostitution sting debate — Sparked by 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution-sting arrest and a local Altamonte Springs sting ("Operation Midnight Heat," 37 arrests), the hosts argue undercover prostitution stings are a poor use of police resources compared to focusing on predators of minors, and make the case for regulating/legalizing sex work. Caller: Concrete Mike, prostitution talk — Concrete Mike calls in about hiring escorts for parties in the past; the call is plagued by a bad phone connection and cuts out repeatedly before the hosts move on. GTA 6 leak coverage — Detailed rundown of hacker "Cyber Leak's" leaked GTA 6 footage (starting August 18), new gameplay features (six-star wanted system, stamina and car-gas meters, a karma system, Red Dead-style bullet-time aiming), a leaked nudist-area clip, and a somber aside about how hyper-realistic "living a second life in a game" can feel. GTA franchise money talk — The hosts look up that the GTA franchise has made $11 billion total, with GTA 5 alone earning $815 million in its first 24 hours; confirmed November 19, 2026 release date for GTA 6. Caller: "J Volvo" — A young-sounding caller who turns out to be a 40-year-old Marine and brown belt calls in as a bit, pitching a "Fit Tom Fridays" 5K fundraiser idea for Seth's dojo; the hosts jokingly induct him as a rookie "cop" character and enjoy the surprise live call.

Six Flags roller coaster aneurysm story (teaser + full segment) — After a break, the hosts cover two women who suffered brain aneurysms riding Six Flags' X2 roller coaster, show POV footage of the ride's uniquely independently-spinning carts, and speculate (semi-jokingly) about the physics/anatomy behind why it happened.

Nepal flooding aside — A brief, more serious detour about real disaster footage of catastrophic flooding in Nepal that circulated online. Psychedelics and mental health tangent — Talk shifts to Kratom, mushrooms, microdosing, and studies on psilocybin therapy for PTSD/anxiety; Seth admits he's more afraid of a mushroom trip than he ever was fighting professionally (referencing his MMA background against opponents like Kimbo Slice and Bob Sapp).

Voicemail: old photo in ski resort system — A caller shares that a modern ski resort pulled up his decades-old childhood lift-ticket photo from a previous owner's records, leading to a discussion about how far back companies' digital recordkeeping goes and some personal skiing stories from the hosts.

Lifeline Screenings — $159 screening package covering pre-stroke risk, cardiac artery disease, peripheral artery disease, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and AFib. The hosts describe their own positive screening experience and a listener/BDM who thanked them for the peace of mind. The Long Drink (White Claw family brand) — In-studio segment with "White Claw Tracy," who brought both the sugar-free and regular versions. Described as a Finnish citrus seltzer with roots in Finland's 1952 Olympics hospitality push; sold under the same parent brand as White Claw. TND Media advertising plug — Brief mention that Tracy has helped handle ad sales for Tom and Dan's platforms for several years, with an invitation for businesses to advertise with TND Media. Segment Rundown Adam Carolla joins on Zoom — Carolla calls in to promote the Cars and Comedy charity event at the Motor Enclave in Tampa benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters. He reflects on being a Big Brother mentor early in his career, before he got into show business. The Paul Newman Porsche 935 — Discussion of Carolla's ~$5 million (now roughly double that) 1979 Porsche 935 once owned by Paul Newman. Carolla explains there's no insurance on the racetrack — damage and wear are simply repaired by the owner as part of racing. Vintage racing culture — Carolla describes the vintage/historic racing circuit (Goodwood in England, Le Mans Classic, Rolex Monterey Historics), noting some historic Ferraris fetch up to $70 million, and that he recently raced alongside NASCAR's Jimmie Johnson and F1 champion Jenson Button. What actually holds a race car's value — A back-and-forth on whether a heavily rebuilt race car (new engines, unbent chassis, replaced parts over decades) retains its historic value, plus Carolla's Pete Brock/BRE Datsun collection and Brock's Shelby Daytona connection. Marriage advice: hypervigilant wives — Lighthearted closing exchange comparing notes on living with a hypervigilant spouse as she ages. Carolla segment wrap / Tampa event plug — Reminder that tickets for the Cars and Comedy event are available at themotorenclave.com. Reflecting on Adam Carolla's legacy — The hosts discuss Carolla's status as one of the most-listened-to podcasters ever, Mark Maron, and how listening to Carolla's and Maron's early shows inspired Tom and Dan to start their own podcast. Debate: raced vs. preserved memorabilia — A tangent on whether a celebrity-owned car is more valuable being actively raced (like Newman's Porsche) or preserved untouched like the original Batmobile, and whether swapped-out parts undercut a car's "authenticity." Lorenzo Lamas joins on Zoom — Introduced ahead of his Fanboy Expo Orlando appearance (August 28–30 at the Hilton Orlando); the hosts recall growing up on his shows Falcon Crest and Renegade. Breaking into Grease at 19 — Lamas recounts landing his role after Stephen Ford (President Gerald Ford's son) was originally cast, going to Paramount two weeks into rehearsals with no dance training, and choreographer Pat Birch building his moves out of football drills. Martial arts background — Lamas describes earning black belts in Taekwondo and Budo Jiu Jitsu, training under Al Thomas (a teammate of Kenpo founder Ed Parker), and using that background once martial-arts action films took off in the late '80s/early '90s. Renegade's star-studded guest list — Lamas recalls Johnny Cash and June Carter visiting the San Diego set (praising how down-to-earth they were), plus guest appearances by Sugar Ray Leonard, Arlo Guthrie, and Barry Bonds. The never-aired Renegade finale — Lamas confirms the show's true series finale, where his character clears his name, was filmed but never released because USA Network wanted the show to keep airing out of order in syndication. The 2002 PT Cruiser motorcycle jump — Dan shares how watching Lamas jump 12 PT Cruisers live on TV during "Celebrity Daredevils Live" (in the rain) directly inspired him to start jumping things himself. Lamas describes training with Evel Knievel's stunt coordinator and calling his 75-year-old mother beforehand for reassurance. Comparing celebrity stunts — A discussion of how other "Celebrity Daredevils" stunts (Dennis Rodman's harnessed cliff dive, Angie Everhart's fire burn) compared to Lamas's genuine motorcycle jump. Life as a helicopter pilot — Lamas discusses flying professionally for years (Grand Canyon tours, Manhattan charters, Catalina/Orange County routes) before stepping back to return to acting, and the hosts float the idea of him offering paid celebrity helicopter tours. Fanboy Expo fan stories — Lamas talks about fans bringing decades-old Grease memorabilia to sign and sharing personal stories about how the film affected them, plus a mention of sharing table space with "H" (a fellow guest) at the convention. Post-interview reflection — The hosts praise Lamas as unexpectedly down-to-earth and note his wide-ranging life (acting, martial arts, motorsports, aviation). White Claw Tracy in-studio segment — Beyond the sponsor read, Tracy talks about attending Orlando City soccer matches, her son Mason's "capo" initiation with their supporter group (an ice-water dunking and a grape-carrying ritual), and a long, silly debate over the supporter tradition of "loose arms" during chants. Bravo Fest in Charleston — Tracy describes her upcoming (late October) trip to a scaled-down Bravo Fest, including scoring hard-to-get Watch What Happens Live taping tickets, dinner reservations at a bar owned by Southern Charm cast members, and photo-op plans with reality-TV personalities. Dolly Parton's recent passing comes up briefly in the conversation about meeting celebrities. Patrick Warburton joins by phone — Introduced ahead of his Fanboy Expo Orlando appearance; the hosts dig into his work voicing Soren for Disney's Soarin' ride, including a private post-recording park tour with John Lasseter. Warburton's most recognizable roles — Fans most often recognize him from Puddy (Seinfeld), Joe (Family Guy), and cult favorite The Tick. The Tick's cancellation — Warburton recounts Fox executives' cluelessness (including one questioning whether the superhero costumes were "necessary"), and how Family Guy was similarly canceled before being revived due to strong DVD sales. Private Tool concert story — Warburton tells an extended story about befriending Tool guitarist Adam Jones at the final Rush concert, then being invited with his son Shane to an intimate ~2.5-hour rehearsal performance in Tool's small studio — which he calls one of the best experiences of his life. The Tick suit's fate — Warburton donated his original Tick suit to a superhero museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan (his wife wanted it out of the house), and discusses a scrapped Amazon reboot that would have rebuilt the show from scratch without its original characters. Origin of the "raw dogging a flight" meme — Warburton connects the viral trend back to his Puddy character from Seinfeld, similar to how his character's high-five bit later got picked up by Borat. Gratitude and stand-up comedy — Warburton reflects on his career, his collaborations with director Barry Sonnenfeld (The Tick, Men in Black II, Big Trouble, A Series of Unfortunate Events), and the creative freedom he's found doing candid, "blue" stand-up comedy the past two years. Warburton segment wrap — Reminder of his Fanboy Expo appearances plus stand-up shows at Uncle Vinny's Comedy Club and the Orlando Funny Bone. Closing riff: dream dad experiences — Tom and Dan riff on wanting to give their kids a bonding experience like Warburton's Tool story, imagining a fantastical Nitro Circus/Travis Pastrana scenario, and discussing what their own kids actually care about (Mr. Beast, YouTubers, and one daughter's favorite musician being Chris Stapleton), ending on a joke about Make-A-Wish.

Segment Rundown Cold open: Orlando Weekly wins — Tom and Dan thank listeners for voting them #1 podcast in the Orlando Weekly awards again (won every year but one), explain why the recognition matters for their small business, praise Will's Pub owner Will Walker for leaning into similar local promotion, and tease a story they're saving for Monday's BDM-only show. Nobody has it figured out — After a bit riffing on an adult-film parody, the group discusses chasing money and fame with Aimee, including the story of Pauly Shore once calling them for business advice and George Wallace still hustling decades into his career — the takeaway being that no one, however successful, ever fully "figures it out." Selling 10% of the show — Inspired by NFL teams selling ownership stakes (the Atlanta Falcons' $1.6B sale of 10%) and Mark Cuban's rise, the hosts joke about selling 10% of Tom and Dan and using AI to preserve their likenesses after death. Aimee's job buyout — Aimee shares that she's taking a voluntary severance from her 12-year job at a Medicaid-based insurance company, effective by May 2027, and has already lined up new therapy and contract work; the hosts joke about her stealing office supplies and the three of them starting an affiliate partnership. Neighbor bush feud advice — Aimee asks for help with an 11-year feud with an elderly neighbor over a shared, overgrown bush encroaching on her house; the group runs through escalating "solutions" (hiring a surveyor since overhanging branches can legally be trimmed, plant diseases/whiteflies, popping tires, a kindness gift basket) while Aimee also vents about the same neighbors letting their dogs bark late at night. Aimee's upcoming shows (first plug) — Plugs for Aimee's long-running Shit Sandwich comedy show (15 years, first and third Fridays, with Rue co-hosting), a free family show/class Aug 29 at the Melrose Center, an improv jam that same night at Stigma Tattoos through the Florida Comedy Collective, and a Sept 26 West End Live show opening for Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, Pickle and Peanut). Marching band car wash fundraiser — Tom plugs his niece's Lake Howell Marching Band charity car wash, comparing it to his own high school band fundraiser days, and the group riffs on whether kids doing donation-based fundraisers should just be tipped for playing their instruments instead, plus a jab at cheap oversized "big check" charity photo ops. AI voice-translation app demo — Dan shows off an AI app that translates a video into other languages (French, Mandarin, Swedish) in the speaker's own voice with matching lip movement, demoed using Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 promo clips, sparking discussion of how fast real-time translation tech is advancing. Optimus robot speculation — Riffing on a detail from Tesla's Aug 5 earnings call (robots reportedly getting chips before cars), the hosts imagine owning a humanoid Optimus robot to drive any car and handle housework and yard work, while questioning Elon Musk's track record on self-driving promises. Costa Concordia documentary recap — Tom recaps a Netflix documentary on the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster (the captain's unauthorized close "salute" pass, the reef strike, 32 deaths, his botched response and prison sentence), tying it back to their own upcoming Tom & Dan Cruise announcement. Poop stories and Concrete Mike call — A riff on awkward public-pooping stories (a "poop cruise" documentary, past guests improvising with towels) leads into a call from regular listener "Concrete Mike," who talks about using job-site dumpsters instead of portable toilets, becoming a new grandfather the night before, and hitting his 50th birthday. Aging radio personality tangent — A riff on an old colleague/bit going "full radio" and speculation about the declining health of an unnamed public figure known for hormone-replacement therapy abuse. Grave-niche theft follow-up — Dan describes keeping his parents' and family dog's ashes in an urn box in his wife's office, following up on a prior story about robbers stealing from cemetery niches. Caller: Tom's mom — Tom calls his mom live on air to ask, hypothetically, whether she'd help him commit various crimes (grave robbing, fake pest-control scams, driving a getaway car); she affectionately confirms she'd always back him, contrasted with Aimee's mom, who Aimee says would turn her in. Penn State cocaine ring story — Discussion of a news story about a cocaine trafficking ring run out of two Penn State fraternities, the alleged ringleader facing decades in prison, and a broader riff on drug legalization versus criminalization and treatment-based drug policy. Portland, Oregon tangent — A brief detour recalling an unsettling encounter with an intimidating stranger during a past trip to Portland, comparing its street culture to Orlando's. World's oldest person story — Discussion of the new Guinness World Record holder for oldest living person (a British woman turning 117) and the extraordinary span of history she's lived through — the Great Depression, WWII, the moon landing, the invention of the internet, two pandemics, and the Titanic sinking. Aimee's C-section story — Aimee shares her emergency C-section experience, including the surgical team nicking her breech baby's toe and playing an unwanted song during the procedure, plus a listener's story about a relative's more serious, complicated C-section. Future medicine and tech nostalgia — Closing speculation about longevity advances (cancer vaccines, genetic screening at birth) alongside early-technology nostalgia, including Dan's dad's status-symbol car phone. Show close and plugs — Final recap of Aimee's upcoming shows, a tease that BDM members will hear a special story on Monday's show, and a note that a full Tom & Dan Cruise announcement is coming soon.

Core Flooring — Sponsor of the Weird Job Wednesday segment; contact Corey at Core Flooring in Winter Park for flooring work. Segment Rundown Cold open: Snack Scout naming bit — Tom and Dan welcome in-studio comedian Ross McCoy and John Graham (thatguyontv.com) for the monthly food segment, riffing on rebranding John's recurring "garbage food" bit (Snack Scout, Commissioner of Junk Food, Garbage Man) before diving into product tastings. 7 Up's secret reformulation — John reveals 7 Up is quietly changing its formula (not just adding a flavor) and flipping "lemon lime" to "lime lemon" on cans, sparking nostalgia about the "7 Up Yours" campaign, the Spot mascot's Sega Genesis game, and childhood freebies like McDonald's records and Domino's Noid toys. Protein Pop-Tarts and cup noodle taste test — Dan trashes protein Pop-Tarts his wife bought; the group samples Texas Barbecue and Kansas City Barbecue cup noodles, arguing Texas vs. Carolina-style barbecue, sodium/fat content, and confusing FDA daily-value percentage labeling. Pork brains and gas station oddities — Tangent on canned pork brains in milk gravy sold at Kentucky/Indiana convenience stores, its sky-high cholesterol content, and old 7-Eleven chili-cheese cup-noodle toppings. Tombstone gluten-free potato-crust pizza — The crew tries a Tombstone loaded bacon cheddar pizza with a potato-starch gluten-free crust, spinning into a debate about how many people falsely claim gluten intolerance versus real conditions like Crohn's, plus stories of self-diagnosed sensitivities that turned out to be lifestyle-related (alcohol, shellfish). Papa John's "garlic flavored sauce" gotcha — Ross spots the fine print on a grocery-store Papa John's garlic dipping sauce revealing it's "garlic flavored," not real garlic, printed nearly invisibly on the label; leads into margarine vs. butter and the "ultra-processed food" trend, including Dan's story of overdoing it on Slim Jims as a kid. Coors Light Cheez-Its taste test — A Target-exclusive Coors Light beer-cheese Cheez-It is sampled; talk turns to favorite Cheez-It varieties (white cheddar, with burned/"extra toasty" as the house favorite) versus Goldfish, and kids outgrowing "baby food" snacks like Goldfish and Uncrustables. Homemade Caesar salad lunches — Ross describes his daughter's daily self-made Cardini's Caesar salad lunch ritual and her brand loyalty, which detours into a chat about Worcestershire sauce containing anchovies. Chips Ahoy mystery-flavor contest — The group tastes a soft-baked "mystery flavor" Chips Ahoy tied to a $25,000 guessing contest, guessing vanilla/maple/birthday cake, and debates soft-baked vs. crispy cookies and whether the campaign will flop. Peach Moon Pies and "location foods" — Peach mini Moon Pies are taste-tested, leading to a debate about foods that only belong in specific settings (s'mores only while camping, hot dogs only at cookouts, peanuts/sunflower seeds only at ballgames or while driving). Ultra-processed rebranding and vegan pranks — Talk of brands (Kellogg's dropping dyes, Utz's "three ingredients" marketing) trying to seem less processed, plus a story about a vegan family member's protein powder that turns out to just be ground peanuts. Tootsie Pop flavor-swap taste test — The crew tries new fruit-filled Tootsie Pops (blue raspberry/cherry, strawberry/lemon, green apple/watermelon), jokes about why they weren't renamed "Gordon Pops" after the family that owns them (versus the Reese family drama), and a tangent on the trucking-industry origin of the word "Gaylord" for pallet boxes. Hard candy nostalgia — Discussion of why older generations favor hard candy (fading taste buds craving sweet/salty extremes), fond memories of the "crunchy center" moment on Tootsie Pops and Blow Pops, and whether candy left out ever truly spoils. Segment wrap and plugs — John plugs thatguyontv.com and workshops a new nickname (Snack Hunter); a riff on graham crackers' inventor Sylvester Graham believing they cured alcoholism and "chronic masturbation"; plug for the Moe Comedy Jam at Orlando Funny Bone. Weird Job Wednesday: meet Billy — Segment sponsored by Core Flooring; Tom and Dan welcome Billy, a former Marine and commissioner/coach for the Claremont Knights Youth Football League, discussing his crushing handshake and his family's move from Staten Island to Clermont, Florida. Coaching rules then vs. now — Billy explains Pop Warner's shift from weight classes to an age cutoff (July 15), banned drills like the "nutcracker" and Oklahoma drill, and new safety gear like guardian caps, contrasted with the no-water, no-sympathy coaching Tom and Ross remember from their own 1980s youth football days. Finding the "dog" in young players — Billy discusses helping kids get past the fear of contact, spotting natural talent early (including a 12-year-old opponent who stood 6'8"), and the competitive instinct every kid has but must learn to control. Work ethic and parent commitment — Talk of the grueling practice schedule (up to five days a week), year-round training across football, baseball, and conditioning, Billy's daily 100-pushup rule for his son, and how he handles parent complaints about playing time (tabling them until "Monday," never game day). Fundraising for stadium lights — Billy details the Claremont Knights' $120,000 campaign to install lights at Eastridge Middle School so teams can practice later into the fall, plus the league's quiet scholarship program for kids who can't afford to play, directing listeners to claremontknights.com to donate. Refs, replay, and closing thoughts — Discussion of how paid, tested Pop Warner referees are held to a higher standard than assumed, Billy's own concussion-era playing memories versus modern protocols, and a closing reflection on coaching as a volunteer's "return on investment" through watching his kids succeed. Marlon Wayans on Scary Movie's return — Marlon Wayans joins via Zoom to discuss the new Scary Movie's $230+ million global box office and its September 5 Paramount+ streaming release, explaining why he and his siblings sat out installments 3–5 before reclaiming the franchise. Football training for the role — Marlon describes training for football scenes opposite Tyreek Hill, getting pulled off actual throwing duties by the director in favor of a body double, and getting private quarterback coaching from "Jordan Palmer's brother." Funny Bone marathon and work philosophy — Talk of Marlon's seven-show Funny Bone run (two Friday, three Saturday, two Sunday), his philosophy of constant stagecraft and studying audience reactions, and his upcoming stand-up special and touring set. Liga Tridente cigars — Marlon discusses his Honduran-made cigar brand, expanding from five to roughly 100 (soon possibly 1,000) retail locations, and how he got into the business through his ex-girlfriend's now-business-partner Victor. Family life and the Wayans clan — Marlon talks about his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, turning 54, hosting family gatherings at his house, and why the family has always turned down reality-show offers. Post-interview reflections on hustle — After the call, Tom and Dan compare Marlon's estimated net worth to his other ventures (likening him to Shaquille O'Neal's diversified business empire), debate what "trying your hardest" really means, and recall the "collard greens" bit with their producer Butler that cemented their relationship with Marlon.

Reminisced about Dan's late father and uncle Doug ("the funniest fuckers ever"), said Dan looks/sounds more like Uncle Doug than his own dad.

Health aside — Dan discusses recent heart workup: calcium score of zero, clean echo, no chamber enlargement — good news after some health scares that have him "rethinking a lot of relationships."

Discussion: leaving Florida — Sparked by a BDM (fan community) thread; framed around Jordan Foley's farewell show that night at Will's Pub (moving to a small town near Nashville).
