<itunes:summary><![CDATA[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!)]]></itunes:summary>

<description><![CDATA[<h1>Love Thy Neighbor: Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "The Dinner Divorce" (LTN48)</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom Vann, Colette Fehr, Dan Dennis | <strong>Guest:</strong> None</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li>No sponsor segments or ad reads in this episode.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Cold open: intro debate.</strong> The hosts argue over whether they need to introduce themselves at the top of every show. Tom calls it pointless since listeners already know who they are. They float making a new intro with names in it for year two, to mark the show's anniversary.</li> <li><strong>What's a food divorce?</strong> Colette talks about her recent news appearance on "food divorce," which is when couples eat separately and each person handles their own meals. She puts it alongside other trends like sleep divorce. Dan asks why those couples even live together.</li> <li><strong>The Dennis family dinner.</strong> Dan says he and Andrea sit down to dinner together every night, while Maisie often eats at dance. He calls the ritual almost as important as sex because it's when Andrea opens up, including her project manager work gossip. He also covers meal kits like Home Chef and Blue Apron and his weekly meal prep for Maisie.</li> <li><strong>Colette on connection rituals.</strong> Colette explains that shared meals are one of the few unstructured connection rituals couples have left. People who grew up eating as a family tend to keep doing it. She shares how she ate alone in her room as a teenager after her parents divorced, making prank conference calls.</li> <li><strong>Tom at the head of the table.</strong> Tom's family eats together too, and he likes sitting at the head of the table. He jokes that nobody should introduce themselves there either. He complains that his kids share nothing, eat slowly, and ignore his celebrity stories (he recently talked to the actor who played Puddy on Seinfeld). Colette suggests word games to liven things up, and Tom says his car-ride games haven't gone well.</li> <li><strong>Dan's date nights.</strong> Dan says he's recently enjoyed date nights at a local tavern known for crispy pizza, where he mostly just listens to Andrea talk.</li> <li><strong>Quiet Kobe.</strong> Tom's wife took their youngest son Max to Hamilton at Dr. Phillips, so Tom took his oldest son Tommy to Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. The two barely talked all night, then Tommy turned on the TV as soon as they got home. Lots of jokes about the oil, the "double white" rice, and the aftermath. Tom also recalls quiet car rides with the men in his family, including a story that started with "one time I killed a man."</li> <li><strong>Companionable silence.</strong> Colette reframes the Kobe night: small talk isn't necessarily more connecting than silence, and parents shouldn't feel guilty about quiet moments. Dan and Andrea both thought the outing was great. Dan mentions upcoming one-on-one time with Maisie while Andrea travels for work.</li> <li><strong>In defense of food divorce.</strong> Colette says her household basically has a food divorce because of schedules. She wants quiet after a day of doing therapy, and she and her husband still share meals a few times a week. She also points to GLP-1 use and the mental load of meal planning, often carried by women. Her takeaway: do what works, but make time to be present.</li> <li><strong>"What's for dinner?" prank.</strong> A host describes his favorite prank: asking his wife what's for dinner at her most stressed moment. It works every time.</li> <li><strong>Email: friend in a scam.</strong> "Baltimore Beef Stew" writes about a friend putting $50,000 into an MLM-style unclaimed property scheme despite being warned. Colette says he's already said his piece. Adults have to make their own choices, and he can set limits on what he'll do if it goes badly.</li> <li><strong>Florida Treasure Hunt.</strong> The hosts explain that Florida's unclaimed property site, fltreasurehunt.gov, is a real government website even though the name sounds like a scam. They guess the scheme is built around middlemen charging people for money they could claim themselves.</li> <li><strong>When it's your money too.</strong> Colette says it's different when a bad decision will land on you financially, like an elderly parent you'd have to support. She shares that she once voiced doubts when her late mother gave money to a questionable religious organization, then let it go.</li> <li><strong>Ask before advising.</strong> Tom admits he's a blunt truth teller with the people he loves. His example is laughing off the Grizz's AI-assisted spy novel, and his wife says he comes off like a jerk. Colette's fix is to ask whether someone wants your opinion first. She notes that offhand comments can stick with people for years, and that it's okay to say you're not ready to hear someone's take.</li> <li><strong>Tom's coward approach.</strong> Tom says he nods, checks his watch, and then says "that's not going to work" after the person leaves. Also a riff on a past helicopter pilot dream.</li> <li><strong>You don't have a crystal ball.</strong> A host says he often stays quiet and then watches things play out just as he predicted. Colette counters that she has seen couples she privately doubted turn things around. She says it's unethical for therapists to tell clients whether to end a relationship, and references Dolly Parton hearing her plans wouldn't work. Joke about the Nigerian prince actually showing up.</li> <li><strong>Email: wife in a hard season.</strong> A longtime listener says his 47-year-old wife is moody and down on herself, their kids are about to leave home, one child is struggling, and she has open heart surgery coming up. His compliments aren't landing. Colette says it could be any mix of perimenopause, health stress, empty nest, or feelings about the marriage. She recommends a conversation, possibly a few therapy sessions, and simply being present instead of trying to fix it.</li> <li><strong>Name your own experience.</strong> Tom riffs on everything a husband should never say. Colette advises using "I" statements, like saying you feel helpless and worried, instead of telling the other person what's wrong with them.</li> <li><strong>Empathy between genders.</strong> Tom says he's glad he never has to go through "the change." Colette lists what women deal with, and Tom agrees men have it pretty easy. Colette warns against letting online anger, tied to a recent news story, turn into hating all men.</li> <li><strong>Perimenopause 101.</strong> Colette explains that perimenopause can start in the 30s (a chat room listener said hers began at 39) and that 51 is the average age of menopause. Technically, menopause is a single day, one year after the last period. She shares that she's had few symptoms, and that a past uterine ablation makes it hard to tell where she is.</li> <li><strong>Next week teaser and close.</strong> Colette teases a story about a possible perimenopausal outburst that "traumatized" her husband. Chat room member Ryan coined "Quiet Kobe," and Colette jokes her book's paperback will be called The Cost of Kobe. Plugs and sign-off.</li> </ol> <h2>Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Recently:</strong> Colette appeared on the news talking about food divorce.</li> <li><strong>Recently:</strong> Tom's wife and Max saw Hamilton at Dr. Phillips Center through her season subscription.</li> <li><strong>Year two:</strong> The show is celebrating its anniversary, which prompted the new intro idea.</li> <li><strong>Upcoming:</strong> Andrea's work trip to Austin, Texas, which means one-on-one time for Dan and Maisie.</li> <li><strong>Upcoming holiday (Presidents' Day, per Dan):</strong> Dan has a day off to plan an outing with Maisie.</li> <li><strong>Next week:</strong> Colette's perimenopause outburst story.</li> <li><strong>Ongoing:</strong> Insights from the Couch, the hosts' other podcast.</li> <li><strong>Ongoing:</strong> Send emails to hello@lovethyneighborshow.com.</li> <li><strong>Ongoing:</strong> fltreasurehunt.gov, Florida's official unclaimed property search.</li> </ul> <h2>Notable Guests/Callers</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Baltimore Beef Stew:</strong> Listener email (made-up name) about a friend caught in an unclaimed property MLM scheme.</li> <li><strong>Anonymous longtime listener:</strong> Email from a husband whose 47-year-old wife is going through a difficult stretch.</li> <li><strong>Ryan (chat room):</strong> Coined "Quiet Kobe" / "The Cost of Kobe."</li> <li><strong>Chat room listener:</strong> Said her perimenopause started at 39.</li> <li><strong>The Grizz (mentioned, not on air):</strong> Friend whose spy novel Tom dismissed.</li> </ul>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "69 Come Sticks" (#894)</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | <strong>Guest:</strong> Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show)</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Bart the Realtor / The Bart Marek Team:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Seaz Nuts 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com):</strong> Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor.</li> <li><strong>Trail of Terror "Sweet 16":</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Modern Plumbing Industries (modernpi.com):</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com):</strong> A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke.</li> <li><strong>Cruise sponsors:</strong> justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Cold open: cool dude character.</strong> 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.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Cruise update: $20 bump.</strong> 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.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Falcons and Garth tonight.</strong> 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."</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Billionaire musicians quiz.</strong> 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.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Chris Gaines deep dive.</strong> Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole:</p> <ul> <li>Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit.</li> <li>The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>Caller Cara: nanny stories.</strong> 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.

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."</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Elizabeth Holmes documentary.</strong> 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.

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."</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Caller Toad King.</strong> Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive.</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Tom's crazy fact: snakebites.</strong> The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes <p>Episode: "69 Come Sticks" (#894)</p> <p>Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show)</p> Sponsors / Ad Reads <ul> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com): Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke.</li> <li>Cruise sponsors: justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters.</li> </ul> Segment Rundown <ol> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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."</p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole:</p> <ul> <li>Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit.</li> <li>The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>Garth, music rights, and yes-men.</p> <ul> <li>Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music.</li> <li>The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes.</li> <li>Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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.</p> </li> <li> <p>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.

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "Sewing Them All Over Town" (Ep. 892)</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> Dan, Tom | <strong>Guest:</strong> Ross McCoy (in-studio comedian), Collette Fehr (in-studio, co-host of the Love Thy Neighbor Show)</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com):</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Tom and Dan Cruise ("Seaz Nuts 2027"):</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Just Call Moe:</strong> Studio sponsorship mention — the show broadcasts live from the "Just Call Moe" studio.</li> <li><strong>Surfshark VPN:</strong> Brief plug tied into a bit about streaming content while traveling.</li> <li><strong>Bud Docs (buddocs.org):</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Moe Comedy Jam:</strong> Interactive, audience-voted comedy show co-hosted by Dan and Larry Fulford, coming to the Orlando Funny Bone.</li> <li><strong>Fair Villa Megastore (fairvilla.com):</strong> Longtime sponsor promoted for sexual wellness products and their upcoming Halloween party.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Cold open, AI content:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>9/11 "fifth plane" theory:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Deathbed confessions tangent:</strong> A joking detour into fake and real deathbed confessions, including a supposed Bigfoot hoaxer, D.B.

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "Bring the Vinegar"</p> <p><strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom and Dan | <strong>Guest:</strong> Savannah (Gatorland)</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Jeff's Bagel Run</strong> — Pumpkin season promo: pumpkin bagels daily, pumpkin spice cream cheese (now with a vegan version), pumpkin spice lattes and cold foam cold brew, and maple brown sugar cream cheese. Mentions their free rewards app (a free bagel just for signing up) at JeffsBagelRun.com.</li> <li><strong>Tom and Dan 2027 "Seaz Nuts" Cruise</strong> — Booking now for September 23–26, sailing from Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay. Interior staterooms from $1,200 for two guests, including free Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and unlimited premium drinks; features a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke competition. Deposit info at tomanddancruise2027.com; later in the show they note roughly 150 people have already signed up.</li> <li><strong>Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com)</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Core Flooring Center (coreflooringfl.com)</strong> — 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.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Show open and download-count banter</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Savannah's dramatic entrance</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Expired-tag traffic stop story</strong> — 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).</li> <li><strong>Australia trip recap: Northern Territory and viral songs</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Remembering Dolly Parton</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Filming crocodile feedings</strong> — Savannah describes filming pig-meat crocodile feedings for content and a near-miss when a crocodile bumped her GoPro rig underwater.</li> <li><strong>The crocodile-poop diamond ring</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Wombat and wallaby encounters</strong> — Savannah describes her daily play sessions (and occasional bites) with a wombat named Rocket and a standoffish wallaroo named King George at the park.</li> <li><strong>Tease for jet lag / NFL Australia segment</strong> — Brief tease before the break about discussing jet lag and the NFL game being played in Australia the following week.</li> <li><strong>AI-assisted ring analysis</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>The mystery poop bag / Seth Petruzzelli reveal</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Jet lag mechanics and NFL Australia games</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Wheel of Fortune announcer scandal</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Plane screen-privacy and targeted-ad tangent</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Otter attack news story</strong> — 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).</li> <li><strong>"Last Stop Laramie" documentary recommendation</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Burning Man riff ("bring the vinegar")</strong> — 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."</li> <li><strong>Shoes and celebrity memorabilia tangent</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Social media algorithm suppression and Instagram "breakup"</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Voicemail: TikTok algorithm burnout</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Show close</strong> — 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.</li> </ol> <h2>Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Next week:</strong> NFL Week 1 game played in Australia (49ers vs. Rams), discussed re: jet lag.</li> <li><strong>Monday:</strong> Show is off.</li> <li><strong>Tuesday:</strong> Show returns with the BDM edition.</li> <li><strong>October:</strong> Just Call Moe's interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross.</li> <li><strong>September 23–26, 2027:</strong> 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.</li> <li><strong>Ongoing/unscheduled:</strong> Moe Grand Prix (Tampa) and Moe Celebrity Bowlarama, plugged via justcallmoe.com's VIP program.</li> </ul> <h2>Notable Guests/Callers</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Savannah</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Brandon</strong> — Phone-in caller who correctly guessed that former guest Seth Petruzzelli left the poop bag outside the studio; awarded a Tom & Dan prize pack.</li> <li><strong>Seth Petruzzelli</strong> — Referenced (not on air) via a group text confirming he was the "poop bag culprit."</li> <li><strong>Unnamed voicemail caller</strong> — Left a voicemail about TikTok algorithm burnout, prompting the closing sitcom-nostalgia discussion.</li> </ul> <p>###</p> <p>Website: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/">https://tomanddan.com/</a><br /> App: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/app">https://tomanddan.com/app</a><br /> Become a BDM: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/registration">https://tomanddan.com/registration</a><br /> Merch: <a href= "https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/">https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/</a><br /> YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive">https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive</a><br /> Twitch: <a href= "https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive">https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive</a><br /> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime">https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime</a><br /> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/">https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/</a><br /> X: <a href= "https://x.com/TomAndDanLive">https://x.com/TomAndDanLive</a><br /> TikTok: <a href= "https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow">https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow</a><br /> Reddit: <a href= "https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan">https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan</a><br /> ACT RSS: <a href= "https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss">https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss</a><br /> AMT RSS: <a href= "https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss">https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss</a></p>]]></description>

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).</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Filming crocodile feedings — Savannah describes filming pig-meat crocodile feedings for content and a near-miss when a crocodile bumped her GoPro rig underwater.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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).</li> <li>"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.</li> <li>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."</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> </ol> Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned <ul> <li>Next week: NFL Week 1 game played in Australia (49ers vs. Rams), discussed re: jet lag.</li> <li>Monday: Show is off.</li> <li>Tuesday: Show returns with the BDM edition.</li> <li>October: Just Call Moe's interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Ongoing/unscheduled: Moe Grand Prix (Tampa) and Moe Celebrity Bowlarama, plugged via justcallmoe.com's VIP program.</li> </ul> Notable Guests/Callers <ul> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>Seth Petruzzelli — Referenced (not on air) via a group text confirming he was the "poop bag culprit."</li> <li>Unnamed voicemail caller — Left a voicemail about TikTok algorithm burnout, prompting the closing sitcom-nostalgia discussion.</li> </ul> <p>###</p> <p>Website: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/">https://tomanddan.com/</a> App: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/app">https://tomanddan.com/app</a> Become a BDM: <a href= "https://tomanddan.com/registration">https://tomanddan.com/registration</a> Merch: <a href= "https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/">https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/</a> YouTube: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive">https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive</a> Twitch: <a href= "https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive">https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive</a> Facebook: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime">https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime</a> Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/">https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/</a> X: <a href= "https://x.com/TomAndDanLive">https://x.com/TomAndDanLive</a> TikTok: <a href= "https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow">https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow</a> Reddit: <a href= "https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan">https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan</a> ACT RSS: <a href= "https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss">https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss</a> AMT RSS: <a href= "https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss">https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "Best of A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — August 24–28" <strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom & Dan | <strong>Guest:</strong> Adam Carolla, Lorenzo Lamas, Patrick Warburton (plus in-studio friend "White Claw Tracy")</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Surfshark VPN</strong> — Promoted via a story about a "stressed out dad" friend in Florida; available through tomandan.com, $2.39/month with the Tom and Dan promo code. Lets users mask their location to any country, unblock restricted sites, and secure their phone on public airport wifi.</li> <li><strong>Lifeline Screenings</strong> — $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.</li> <li><strong>The Long Drink (White Claw family brand)</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>TND Media advertising plug</strong> — 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.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Adam Carolla joins on Zoom</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>The Paul Newman Porsche 935</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Vintage racing culture</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>What actually holds a race car's value</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Marriage advice: hypervigilant wives</strong> — Lighthearted closing exchange comparing notes on living with a hypervigilant spouse as she ages.</li> <li><strong>Carolla segment wrap / Tampa event plug</strong> — Reminder that tickets for the Cars and Comedy event are available at themotorenclave.com.</li> <li><strong>Reflecting on Adam Carolla's legacy</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Debate: raced vs. preserved memorabilia</strong> — 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."</li> <li><strong>Lorenzo Lamas joins on Zoom</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Breaking into Grease at 19</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Martial arts background</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Renegade's star-studded guest list</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>The never-aired Renegade finale</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>The 2002 PT Cruiser motorcycle jump</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Comparing celebrity stunts</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Life as a helicopter pilot</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Fanboy Expo fan stories</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Post-interview reflection</strong> — The hosts praise Lamas as unexpectedly down-to-earth and note his wide-ranging life (acting, martial arts, motorsports, aviation).</li> <li><strong>White Claw Tracy in-studio segment</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Bravo Fest in Charleston</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Patrick Warburton joins by phone</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Warburton's most recognizable roles</strong> — Fans most often recognize him from Puddy (Seinfeld), Joe (Family Guy), and cult favorite The Tick.</li> <li><strong>The Tick's cancellation</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Private Tool concert story</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>The Tick suit's fate</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Origin of the "raw dogging a flight" meme</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Gratitude and stand-up comedy</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Warburton segment wrap</strong> — Reminder of his Fanboy Expo appearances plus stand-up shows at Uncle Vinny's Comedy Club and the Orlando Funny Bone.</li> <li><strong>Closing riff: dream dad experiences</strong> — 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.</li> </ol> <h2>Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned</h2> <ul> <li><strong>August 28–30 (this weekend):</strong> Fanboy Expo at the Hilton Orlando — featuring guests Lorenzo Lamas and Patrick Warburton.</li> <li><strong>Friday (during Fanboy Expo weekend):</strong> Patrick Warburton performs stand-up at Uncle Vinny's Comedy Club.</li> <li><strong>Sunday (during Fanboy Expo weekend):</strong> Patrick Warburton, two stand-up shows at the Orlando Funny Bone (6 p.m. and 9 p.m.).</li> <li><strong>Upcoming (date not specified):</strong> Adam Carolla appears at the Cars and Comedy charity event at the Motor Enclave in Tampa, benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of Tampa — tickets at themotorenclave.com.</li> <li><strong>Late October:</strong> White Claw Tracy travels to Charleston, SC for Bravo Fest, including Thursday-night Watch What Happens Live tapings.</li> </ul> <h2>Notable Guests/Callers</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Adam Carolla</strong> — Comedian, radio/podcast host, and Paul Newman race car collector; joined by Zoom to discuss his car collection and promote his Tampa charity event.</li> <li><strong>Lorenzo Lamas</strong> — Actor (Grease, Falcon Crest, Renegade); joined by Zoom ahead of his Fanboy Expo Orlando appearance.</li> <li><strong>Patrick Warburton</strong> — Actor/comedian (Seinfeld, Family Guy, The Tick, Soarin'); joined by phone ahead of his Fanboy Expo and Funny Bone appearances.</li> <li><strong>"White Claw Tracy"</strong> — In-studio friend and longtime TND Media ad-sales collaborator; brought the episode's sponsored drinks and discussed her personal life (Orlando City soccer, upcoming Bravo Fest trip).</li> </ul> <p>###</p> <p>Website: https://tomanddan.com/<br /> App: https://tomanddan.com/app<br /> Become a BDM: https://tomanddan.com/registration<br /> Merch: https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/<br /> YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive<br /> Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive<br /> Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime<br /> Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/<br /> X: https://x.com/TomAndDanLive<br /> TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow<br /> Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan<br /> ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss<br /> AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "Trimming Your Neighbor's Bush" <strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom and Dan | <strong>Guest:</strong> Aimee LeCours</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Modern Plumbing Industries</strong> (modernpi.com) — Mention Tom and Dan for 10% off service calls: drain/sewer, water heaters, water quality, custom projects, repipes, and emergency calls. Serves Seminole, Orange, Lake, Volusia, and Osceola counties.</li> <li><strong>Bear Cat THC Seltzer</strong> (drinkbearcat.com, promo code BDM420) — 20% off a 5% THC / 20mg CBD seltzer with a mushroom blend; no recommendation needed, must be 21+. Available at Gravity Taproom (Orlando), a bar in Winter Park, Legacy Wine and Liquors (Sanford), Rock Brew (Sanford), and One Utopia (Clermont), with tastings announced on their social media.</li> <li><strong>Streamline Mortgage Solutions</strong> (streamlineflorida.com) — Contact Brian for free mortgage guidance;

<description><![CDATA[<h1>A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes</h1> <p><strong>Episode:</strong> "Best Of the Week — August 17–21" <strong>Hosts:</strong> Tom and Dan | <strong>Guest:</strong> Ross McCoy, John Graham, Billy (Claremont Knights), Marlon Wayans (via Zoom)</p> <h2>Sponsors / Ad Reads</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Central Homes Roofing</strong> — Family-owned Orlando roofer of 30+ years, voted #1 roofer three years running by Orlando Weekly. Free inspections/estimates, hurricane warranties, in-house (non-1099) crews, will handle small repairs other roofers skip, 4.8-star Google rating, same-day estimates, and $500 off a re-roof for Tom and Dan listeners (centralhomesroofing.com).</li> <li><strong>Core Flooring</strong> — Sponsor of the Weird Job Wednesday segment; contact Corey at Core Flooring in Winter Park for flooring work.</li> </ul> <h2>Segment Rundown</h2> <ol> <li><strong>Cold open: Snack Scout naming bit</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>7 Up's secret reformulation</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Protein Pop-Tarts and cup noodle taste test</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Pork brains and gas station oddities</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Tombstone gluten-free potato-crust pizza</strong> — 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).</li> <li><strong>Papa John's "garlic flavored sauce" gotcha</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Coors Light Cheez-Its taste test</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Homemade Caesar salad lunches</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Chips Ahoy mystery-flavor contest</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Peach Moon Pies and "location foods"</strong> — 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).</li> <li><strong>Ultra-processed rebranding and vegan pranks</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Tootsie Pop flavor-swap taste test</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Hard candy nostalgia</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Segment wrap and plugs</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Weird Job Wednesday: meet Billy</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Coaching rules then vs. now</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Finding the "dog" in young players</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Work ethic and parent commitment</strong> — 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).</li> <li><strong>Fundraising for stadium lights</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Refs, replay, and closing thoughts</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Marlon Wayans on Scary Movie's return</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Football training for the role</strong> — 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."</li> <li><strong>Funny Bone marathon and work philosophy</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Liga Tridente cigars</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Family life and the Wayans clan</strong> — 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.</li> <li><strong>Post-interview reflections on hustle</strong> — 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.</li> </ol> <h2>Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned</h2> <ul> <li><strong>This Friday</strong> — A BDM member is visiting the show/community from England.</li> <li><strong>This weekend (Fri–Sun)</strong> — Marlon Wayans' Orlando Funny Bone run: two shows Friday, three Saturday, two Sunday.</li> <li><strong>September 5</strong> — The new Scary Movie begins streaming on Paramount+.</li> <li><strong>Tickets on sale in September;

Free inspections/estimates, hurricane warranties, in-house (non-1099) crews, will handle small repairs other roofers skip, 4.8-star Google rating, same-day estimates, and $500 off a re-roof for Tom and Dan listeners (centralhomesroofing.com).</li> <li>Core Flooring — Sponsor of the Weird Job Wednesday segment; contact Corey at Core Flooring in Winter Park for flooring work.</li> </ul> Segment Rundown <ol> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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).</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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).</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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).</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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."</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> <li>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.</li> </ol> Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned <ul> <li>This Friday — A BDM member is visiting the show/community from England.</li> <li>This weekend (Fri–Sun) — Marlon Wayans' Orlando Funny Bone run: two shows Friday, three Saturday, two Sunday.</li> <li>September 5 — The new Scary Movie begins streaming on Paramount+.</li> <li>Tickets on sale in September;

Well, after two decades in the radio industry, they've experienced its unforgiving nature, but they've gracefully transformed it into a realm of delightful silliness.
