A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan
The most mediocre time you'll ever have.

Wow...I don't think that I've laughed that hard in a really, really, REALLY long time. What a fun show. 

Thanks and love to both White Claw Hard Seltzer and Mellow Mushroom for making the little Friday Free Show gathering we did a hell of a lot of fun. For those of you that were there, Tom and I hope that you had a really good time! 

On this week's show:

Dan almost gets run over

* Monsters telethon audio/Dan's mental powers
* Tom's hammerhead shark heirloom
* The future of Facebook
* Crystal loves pranking Tom and the boys
* Cookie roach
* BDM Andrew pinned between a car and a work van
* Mr. Glasspipe
* The Great Meemaw Bush Fire
* Mail on Male
* Pod Gods
* Tom's loogie grinding with foot
* Butler walks in on Tom in the bathroom
* Bus news
* Crazy opinions on the internet
* Woman spacewalk
* Tommy lost his glasses in a canoe 
 
Thanks for listening, everyone! This one was straight fire and if you have not checked out the show that we did with Chico Bean, you're definitely going to want to check that one out. You can watch the entire thing on YouTube, in stunning HD quality video. (It's not that stunning. Hahahaha...) 
 
On that note, I think I'm going to have to give in to my allergies and  head back to bed. I hope you guys have an amazing weekend and we'll see you back here on Monday for all of the BDM shows. We have a special "go-to" show that's planned for you guys that we think you're really, really going to like. See you then!

This show is pretty self-explanatory. Basically, if the title includes the word "Interview" and then a proper name, you can pretty much bet that's exactly what you're going to get. In this day and age, most everything requires a "description." We don't believe in that. Just call us old school. It might also be one of our many special features or bonus shows. Wouldn't a perfect description of it sort of ruins the surprise of releasing a new and special show for you? Or we might just be being completely lazy - you'll never know. We hope that you enjoy the show and thanks, as always, for the love and support! - t&d

And just like that, it's another Friday Free Show in the books! This one was a little odd in the fact that we didn't have an Improv comic in the morning. We all had a few obligations and just to pull that curtain back a little bit, it was John Witherspoon. Here's the thing; he's a great man - a legend - and nothing but kind - BUT - with that said, I'm not sure what we can talk to him about at this point. Some of these guys have been doing this for so long, that when we get the chance to talk to them, I just want them to take care of themselves and go to bed! John falls under that category. He's the nicest man but get your rest Pops. People will come to see you this weekend. I don't doubt that one bit. Oh, but why was it odd? Well, we seemed to have a great deal of time to get things done so it makes the Friday not feel quite like a Friday. Even now, those are some of the hardest days that we work. We record from 10 am until pretty much 5 pm. Yeah, it's too long and we're working on that. We might be cutting back on the recording in the near future.
 
On this week's show:
 
  • Bus’ big ol’ bus
  • Can you be anything you want to be?
  • 80s drug commercials
  • Best advice to give kids
  • We call Mama Dennis about Dan lying about a choir performance
  • Caller- Update on prancing boss
  • White trash Oompa Loompa
  • Bus News
  • Florida Man birthday challenge
  • Coors sues Anheiser-Busch
  • Shaq’s the new board member for Papa John’s
  • New Woodstock/music fest
  • Crazy church lady video
  • The Stiff Dad
  • Tom is baby Kermit
  • Male on mail
  • Carl from Minnesota
  • Level 10 Carl 
 
if you want to see what it looks like when you have a computer program crash, check out this show on Twitch. GarageBand crashed about 30 minutes into the show and now I'm fairly proficient at not freaking out and fixing it. (If you need to be walked through these steps, hit me up. I'd love to help out. Dan@TomandDan.com - As always, thanks to all of you who caught the show live on Twitch, thanks to all of you who check out the show replays on YouTube, thanks to all of you who download wherever you snag your podcasts, and thanks to all of you who are BDMs and ensure that we can keep doing more and more T&D shows!
 
We love you guys and we'll see you Monday for OG, BDM, and ACT shows!

Hey there, gang! 

Well, this is odd.

Today is the official 10 year anniversary of "A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan." Tom and I lost track of time. We knew it was close but not this close.

...

Yeah. Take a second and see how that feels.

Just let it soak in.

We have been pumping out our brand of broadcasting for 10 full years. I mean, with everything that we went through with starting the show and doing it as a relief to broadcasting that was no longer fun. Just getting things together and wading into the "podcast waters" was difficult enough - but then there was all of the bullsh*t of "Show #159" and everything that went along with that. I would be lying to you if I said that portion of time didn't really take a hit to my health and to my sanity. It was dark, my friends. Very, very dark. The idea that I - that we - were working with people that were so sadistic and horrible that they would try to ruin our lives only because we had created something that was better than what had come before it, was truly baffling to me. You know the story. You know what happened. You know who did it and I'll move on. I got a little fired up today talking with Jim Norton and hearing his same disdain for radio stations, the people who program them, and the BS that seems to follow them. Even NOW, we're dealing with it. Who would have thought that the same people that forced us to make the very correct decision that we wanted to do podcasting fulltime because THEY didn't believe in it - would be the same people that would now be buying and snatching up podcasts as fast as they could because it's now suddenly COOL and relevant. SMDH. Come on, man. Are you f'n kidding me? I could go on and on and ON about this and will not but I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say. Thomas Vann is a wise man when he says repeatedly, "Nothing Matters." He's a wise, wise, man. 

On this week's show:

  • 10 years podcasting today! 
  • Tony Griftalotta
  • The Dan Cummins audio curse
  • Butler broke his toilet 5 times on the cruise
  • Butler gets solicited by a prostitute 
  • Butler saves an old man in the bushes of Baldwin
  • Caller peepee's in his bosses work truck 
  • 87 new BDMs this week 
  • Podcast Movement apology 
  • Mail on male
  • Dan’s sex story; Andrea not a fan of facials
  • Bus news: The Pelican King
  • KFC Hot Tub
  • College FBI scandal
  • Maisie and fake beer 

Ok. I put my soap box away. 

Talk to you Monday, friends! I love ya!

Happy Monday morning, fine listeners! 

This is going to be one of those strange accelerated weeks for us when we try to make sure that everything at the studio is taken care of before we head out on the Tom and Dan Cruise. Thankfully, we're a little more organized than we have been so I'm not expecting things to e a real "s-show." Let's just hope that all of the electronics on the boat are in good working order. I'm not sure if you remember but the last two times that we've done anything with Dan Cummins, but it's been an f'n disaster! (There was OLE, and then there was the messed up recording from last July at The Orlando Improv. Our track record is pretty bad. Hahaha...) With all of that said, please enjoy this "super-sized" Friday Free Show and I'll be talking to you guys on the today's BDM shows! 

On this week's show:

  • Bad bouquets 
  • Zach from Ohio calls in; he booked a sketchy hotel 
  • Bahamas/Cruise talk
  • Tom’s ticket update
  • Pee Boners
  • Tommy is being bullied
  • Gothopotomus
  • Pull-out method
  • Tom tattoos for 10K
  • Pull-out method
  • Blind text game
  • Six degrees of grifting
  • Crystal picking up kids in WRX
  • Doing anything is hard

Thanks to all of you who have been catching the stream LIVE on Twitch and remember, I've been uploading all of the Friday Free Shows and comedian interviews on YouTube. Please take the time to share and subscribe. It helps us out, and if you're not already subscribing on Twitch and have Amazon Prime, you can really help the show out by subscribing. Amazon will go and give us three bucks, and that allows us to get more and greater equipment and hopefully build the mobile rig that we want to have by the middle of this year.

Have a wonderful day and we'll be talking to you later for the OG and the BDM shows of the week!

All the best,

d
