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

I ate too many sugar cookies. No seriously. I did. 

Apologies for writing to you guys so damned late. I know, I know - but the weekend and not having to work on it sort of got away from me! I'm not used to actually having the time to sit and just do nothing and apparently it was much needed because I took advantage of every single moment. I was able to play video games - wash my scooter - play Peppa pig with Mai - cook a badass breakfast for the girls - all of that! It was fantastic. If only I hadn't neglected the show notes or if only Maisie knew how to type, I'd just tell her to do it! 

On this week's show:

-Adam Conover calls in

-Ratings myths

-Jimmy 159 is here

-The show is falling apart! #442

-Carrot hot dogs

-6-pound sh*t vein

-Veggie whaaaaa???

-Jimmy’s barbershop story

-The falling feather

-Conning children

-Diabetes wizard- Purple everything

-Poofin your cooch

-The Orlando Unicorn truck trade for Sam

-Tom is podcast Xhibit

-Morning show whiteheads

It was a biggie and it's always a freak'n blast to have Dirty Jim come in and hang with us. Dude is going to be killing it soon with his very own show on Real Radio 104.1 and we could not be more excited for him! He's always supported and beat the T&D drum and we're really looking forward to seeing what he's got in store after the first of the year. Ok. I'm out. See you guys on the BDM shows.

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

Hey, there gang! 

I hope this show recap finds you well and we're always happy to have you hang out with us for yet another "Friday Free Show." As always, we had a really, really, REALLY great time! So...on this week's show:

-Government spending

-Tom is not affectionate 

-King of quinoa 

-Tommy got slime in his hair

-The gingerbread man

-Barfing Fidel Castro

This was a fun week but I'll be honest and say that sh*t can be really, really heavy. I never thought that owning and running a company could be this difficult but I've got to tell you; if you're ever thinking about starting your own company or small business - please make sure that you don't have anxiety issues if you do! Haha...nothing is wrong - I assure you of that but - and we mentioned this on the show a little bit - but I'm having a bit of a rough patch when it comes to anxiety issues. No idea why and why it happens now or anytime - but it does and that's just why it's such an evil, evil beast. Well...I'm out. Off to see the ladies and to hopefully have a nice relaxing evening. 

Sorry about this being some of the lamest show notes ever but I'm just not feeling it today. Hahaha...

Talk to you soon,

d

Good Saturday morning to all of you fine listeners! Tom and I both hope that this show recap finds you well! I'm actually t the studio right now putting the finishing touches on a price list for the "BDM Beach Party."  

Tom and I both hope that this show recap finds you well! I'm actually t the studio right now putting the finishing touches on a price list for the "BDM Beach Party." We're going to have some really cool new shirts out there as well as BDM hats and towels. Nothing crazy, but if you're in need, we got you! It absolutely sucks that we had to reschedule this BDM event but as all of you who live in Florida know, hurricanes happen. And not only do they happen but they suck. Rescheduling is one thing but I really feel for all of those who were displaced during these storms. When you think about it, it really puts things into perspective. My heart goes out to all of them. I mean, hell - all we had to do is pick a different day to drink beer. Sigh. But, if you are no longer able to make it because of the reschedule, I sincerely apologize and hope that you'll be able to make another one of our events in the near future. 

Yesterday's show was tons of fun but before you check that out, let me encourage you to check out the comedian interview that we did with Tony Roberts. You guys know that I don't talk about those interviews after the fact very often - this !@#$ was straight up off the chain! I don't think I've laughed that hard in months. Dude is one of the funniest guests that we've ever had in here and what a kind soul. Hopefully, we'll be able to get him back in at some point. I had a damned blast! Check that out and THEN make your way to the Friday Free Show. You will not be disappointed. 

On this week's show:

-Harvey Weinstein audio

-Lake Flaccid

-Recap of Sam’s Washington trip

-Inappropriate jokes as kids

-Friday the 13th Most Unlucky listener contest

-Sh*t wet bandits

-Tom has a spinal tumor

-Stay poor, save your marriage

On that note, it looks like I've got to get moving toward the coast. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you guys today! Please, please, PLEASE be safe and take care of each other and we'll talk to you guys on Monday!

Good morning gang! 

Dan coming at you from the Dennis Family breakfast nook. (Is it really a nook? Not really. It's more like a glass table in the middle of the kitchen. I was just attempting to sound fancy. Apologies.)

Yesterday was an amazingly fun show! Special thanks to Chris Fisher from the BYOCB podcast for filling in for the vacationing Samantha - and thanks, Dirty Jim from The Monsters in the Morning and Prime Time Kitchen and his lovely wife for stopping by. It's always fun when we have visitors for the Friday Free Show! Even when they're hypochondriacs like me! (I'm looking at you, Seth!)

Normally we have more detailed show notes but because Samantha is out on vacation, we're just going to leave it at this. 

On a final note, our hearts go out to the family of comedian Ralphie May who passed away yesterday after battling pneumonia. He was nothing but amazing to us and while we did not know him very well, we were very happy to have the opportunity to interview him last year. Later today, we're going to rerelease that interview for all of you to hear. Nothing but love to his ex-wife and children. Godspeed, my friend. 

Ok. Have a fantastic Saturday - Happy birthday Andrea and we'll talk to all of you guys on Monday!
