A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "901: Top Hats and Handguns w/ Savannah" Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Savannah of Gatorland Sponsors / Ad Reads Hidden Skins (hittnskins.com): Hidden Skins printed the 500 Beerfest gift bags. Read covers premium branded merch: T-shirts, full vehicle wraps, signage, vinyl graphics, and foil and prism stickers. They will also take on custom requests. Their showroom is near Camping World. Read is bundled with a promo for Beerfest and Sofas and Suds. Just Call Moe (JustCallMoe.com): "Injured on the go, just call Moe." The hosts praise Moe as a longtime listener and friend, and say he answers BDM legal questions kindly. Sign-up for his free Moe VIP program is free, and members get a card in the mail plus notice of free community events like lunches, chicken parm dinners and last year's free Santa photos. Moe sponsors both events, and his couch faces Tom and Dan's in the first race. Central Homes Roofing (centralhomesroofing.com): Includes a custom "if them hurricanes be poofing" jingle. The company is family owned with 30+ years locally and uses its own W2 crews. Other points: Free inspections and same-day estimates Hurricane warranty No minimum on repairs, even a single shingle Orlando Weekly's number one roofer three years running, with 1,100+ five-star Google reviews $500 off a re-roof for Tom and Dan listeners Segment Rundown Open: Savannah vs. the internet. Savannah walks in burned out on social media, then minutes later starts filming herself at the studio anyway. Dan compares the algorithm to a cult leader and brings up Rush's 2112, which is playing at the Orlando Science Center's Cosmic Concerts. He says the best part of his day was riding his electric scooter to 7-Eleven in his overalls with outlaw country blasting, before a dead lighting app forced him onto a ladder at the studio. Savannah says she's convinced Instagram listens in and boosts her posts whenever she threatens to leave. Weird Job Wednesday comes up as proof that every job has parts people hate. The Pine Hills pig. The hosts check in on the viral Pine Hills pig that lives by the Silver Star Road McDonald's. TikTok now claims it's a reincarnated neighborhood bully. Savannah begs people to leave it alone instead of chasing it into traffic. There's a running joke that a photo with the pig earns Savannah's "free cruise," along with a debate over whether it could take over a Bahamian swimming-pig island. Plugs the listener cruise at holidaycruise2027.com. Tom's boat "standard" and the sound bath video. Tom explains that once something works he repeats it, including the "standard" Blue Springs boat trip he gives visiting family. Savannah asks why she's never been invited. Tom notes that springs now require reservations. Old memories come up: Savannah wrapped like a mummy and sent out on a paddle boat at Silver Glen, and a wild listener houseboat trip. Tom shows video from Blue Springs of a sound bowl session where the parents lie on blankets while their kid scrolls an iPhone. They debate whether a "bad parenting" angle would make it go viral. Viral views that pay nothing. Andrea's Rory Gilmore Halloween costume got about 7 million views after the actor who plays Luke shared it, and it earned basically nothing. The "banana hero" story is another example: a woman in a banana costume called in a crash and got picked up by the news, TMZ and SNL. The hosts argue viral moments trap people in one gimmick, using Hawk Tuah as the example. They also cover why fans throw Mentos at the Foo Fighters. Caller: neighbor's sound bath. Joe calls in about his neighbor hosting a 40-person sound bath in her backyard with bells and tuning forks. The group jokes about "brown note" weapons. Dan brings up the parenting side: screens are fine at a restaurant, but he'd rather leave than let Maisie melt down at Chuy's. Dan also brings up his and Savannah's legendary "one of everything" order at the Taco Bell on Leroy. Taskmaster and GTA VI. Listeners noticed Gatorland merch on the British show Taskmaster, and Tony Rage explains the format. The hosts read through the new Grand Theft Auto, set in the Florida-like state of Leonida with a Gatorland-style park. They go over its mature content rating, its first female protagonist, and its roughly 80-hour story. Dan has it preordered but says he'll barely have time to play. He mentions watching Sanford and Son from 6 to 8 p.m. with his dog Dansby, and that Call of Duty helps him decompress. Savannah says she needs screen breaks. Kid slang and the KidCast. Tom jokes about teaching his middle schoolers slang, and they compare "gyat," Maisie's disapproving "jiggle craze," and "honks." The hosts announce another Tom and Dan KidCast for the day before Thanksgiving. Savannah describes a pushy group of mean girls on Halloween and handing out tiny toy alligators instead of candy. Dog the Bounty Hunter's number. A listener gave the hosts Dog the Bounty Hunter's cell number. They run through his moves from Hawaii to Colorado, Marco Island, Georgia and now Ocala, and revisit his old racial slur scandal and the odd apology tour. The hosts reconsider whether he's still their "white whale," and they may call him on Monday's BDM show. Warped Tour and ICP. The hosts are going to Vans Warped Tour: Tom both days to see ICP on Sunday, and Dan on bought tickets. Savannah says Tom can't show up dressed like a cop. Tom texted Sarah Roussey, Violent J's girlfriend and a recent awkward guest, to set up a photo with ICP. He says ICP's branding is iconic and built without corporate backing, through van-to-high-school tape handouts, wrestling ties and a fiercely loyal Juggalo family. Other topics: Carrot Top also turning being a punchline into fame. Whether anyone really "loves the boos," as Dirty Jim claimed. Savannah bombing at stand-up and knowing it was coming. Faygo and The Great Milenko. The hosts wish they'd had a Hatchet Man-style mascot. Borrowed subcultures. Tom brings up Huntington Beach skaters adopting a fake Southern "white trash" style. Savannah points to Chanel West Coast's switch to country singles, including "Tennessee," as part of country's boom as an aesthetic. A host says rural Michigan or upstate New York could pass for Deltona. End-of-year steam and blood pressure. Everyone's coasting toward Thanksgiving. Dan's family's undecorated Christmas tree has been on 24/7 for a month, which confused the examiner who came for his life insurance blood test. The examiner skipped the rest of the form once he saw Dan's blood pressure. Savannah says hers is famously low. Chat members post their own readings. Gator attack debate. Tom brings up the recent fatal attack on a man shore-fishing on Lake Apopka. He says Miami's Wildlife OS stole his "Later Gator" idea with its AI sonar "Croc Alarm" prototype for docks. Savannah warns that dusk and dawn are prime hunting times and that hooked fish draw gators in. She also says fed gators, shrinking habitat and warmer lakes make things riskier than when they grew up. Tom argues the odds are lightning-strike rare and he won't live in irrational fear. They recall swimming in the Peace River and Lake Jesup near gators and a Florida kid who survived by letting a gator take his arm. Savannah reminds everyone that accidental feeding, like cleaning fish at the shore, is still illegal feeding. The croc poop ring. An update from Savannah's last visit: the ring she found in crocodile poop isn't a diamond, but it was dated to 60 to 70 years ago and restored so she can wear it. They joke about Tom swallowing his wedding ring for a viral bit, and the conversation turns into bathroom humor. Top hats and Concrete Mike. Tom jokes that his sons wear top hats while fishing to look bigger to gators. Concrete Mike calls in suggesting handguns, and the group escalates to Desert Eagles, grenades, knives and cigarettes. Tom stresses that he's joking and his boys are safe. Haircut paradox. Dan says Tom overwhelmed the boys by sending them about 50 haircut options. Tom says Tommy didn't really want long hair but now won't cut it because of the attention it would bring at school. Dan's suggestion: trim an inch a week until no one notices. They debate mullets, the "Edgar" cut, and the Northern Territory's mullet culture. Taco Bob and old radio rules. The hosts will be on WJRR with Taco Bob next Tuesday to promote the events. They worry that only calling to promote makes them look like users, which they say is just how media favors work. They remember Bob asking them to cut a story he told, worried his sales clients would hear it, and credit themselves with helping loosen Orlando radio's old fear of cursing in front of big clients like McDonald's. Wrap: find Savannah at Gatorland. Savannah asks listeners to come say hi at Gatorland and to say they heard her on Tom and Dan out loud, not in a whisper. The show signs off with a Hims joke and a "take it up with legal" button. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Ongoing: Visit Savannah at Gatorland and say you heard her on Tom and Dan.

A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "Best of A Corporate Time, November 9-13" Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Paul and Dom (the Sanford Three), Forrest Young of Beezer Eats, Matt and Violet of Purrs and Pages, Kenny Sponsors / Ad Reads The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net): Andrew is the first sponsor signed for both the Bad at Business Beerfest and Sofas and Suds. He'll have free-play pinball tents at both events, with two tents at Beerfest. His daughter Rose will be working the tent. He also runs a rental program that swaps the machine every quarter, which is good for businesses and man caves. The hosts mention guest comic Ryan Davis raving about the studio's new Fallout machine. Call 321-591-1062. Delivery is free statewide for Tom and Dan listeners. Segment Rundown Open: live stream plug. The hosts say the YouTube stream is finally making a small amount of money, which helps pay SJ and Melissa. There's a running joke about not wanting to pay SJ. They plug @TomandDanLive. Sanford Three song. Dan sings a short G-Funk-style intro song for Paul and Dom. Forrest from Beezer Eats joins and confirms his band 3Pac will play after Beerfest at 6:30, including a Nate Dogg, Warren G and Michael McDonald mashup. Super Villains are also playing the after party. Hair dye accusations. The chat room's theory that a host dyes his hair returns, along with jokes about his taller "Seacrest poof" hairdo. That turns into tangents about giving kids HGH to make them seven feet tall, Andre the Giant, and mousse versus styling clay. Recliner race rules. Recliner sign-ups are still open. The recliner has to actually recline, be on wheels, and have a two-person team that switches pushing and riding. They remember a past seven-foot round ottoman entry and a business owner who crashed the race at the last second and got disqualified. Rumors and Halloween candy. Before the draw, they discuss rumors that Audi rebuilt its couch in carbon fiber and "fired" last year's driver. They joke that there's no drug testing at Sofas and Suds. That leads to a debate over the best order to eat Hershey's miniatures. Paul mentions wearing a glucose monitor around Halloween to see how bad the candy was. Other candy picks: Sixlets, and Nerds as pure sugar. Live bracket draw. The first-round matchups are drawn live with an online randomizer, which keeps repeating names until the "auto remove winner" setting gets fixed. Final first round: Modern Plumbing vs. Hollerbach's Tom and Dan vs. Just Call Moe Steel Plus vs. Real Street Tactical Breezeway vs. Seminole Pool Supply Deviant Wolf vs. Tuffy's City of Sanford vs. Lake Monroe Hospital Throwbacks and Busters vs. Dr. Drip Wayne Dench vs. Audi, the 2024 and 2023 defending champs, in the last race of the round Other bits from the draw: Tracy will drive the Tom and Dan couch, and Clayton is putting the team together. The hosts joke about her reflexes. Facing sponsor Just Call Moe is called a "conflict of interest." A Steel Pulse vs. Inner Circle mix-up over Steel Plus's name. Hollerbach's old big-wheel couch, remembered as the most dangerous ever built. A host's nostalgia for pool stores and his dad's bleach-bucket method for killing mustard algae. Couch priority and VIP. Next year, couch spots go first to returning teams, then to this year's recliner teams, then to the public. A recliner is pitched as cheap advertising for small businesses in front of thousands of people. VIP upgrades this year: new bleachers, plus the premium viewing area, premium bathrooms, drink tickets and a chance to mingle with the teams. Beezer Eats rib tasting. Forrest brought ribs with a harissa dry rub, a meatloaf sandwich and a grilled cheese, plus desserts made by his wife. A host who has been living on spinach salads is overjoyed by one rib. "Beezer" is his wife's childhood nickname, which leads to divorce jokes. The truck is at the Sanford Food Truck Fiesta every month and will be at both events. Event logistics recap. Beerfest, November 21: Billed as America's only free beer fest. The first 500 people get gift bags at Celery City, and you must be 21+. Music runs at Celery City from noon to 2, and beer starts pouring at 2. The after party is at the West End. Sofas and Suds, November 22: This is the 15th year. Races start at 2, and VIP (bleachers, five beers, luxury toilets) is selling faster than last year. There's a kids dance-off, since the "running of the kids" was retired after a host's son fell. Food: The West End kitchen is open and its wings are back. Livestream: For the first time, the races will stream live on Seminole County's YouTube channel, Do Orlando North. The event recently won best event in Sanford. Dom roast and Side of Celery. There's light ribbing about Dom looking miserable on camera, his eyes, and a couple of Waterboy references. Paul reveals Side of Celery, a new concept in the Celery City courtyard with a second bar, a kitchen and more bathrooms; the name was Shane's idea. He plans 3- to 6-month leases so food trucks can try out a brick-and-mortar spot, and the lease could be a prize at the twice-yearly food truck battle. Stream growth and the "what do you do" email. The hosts say the stream is finally gaining traction and ask mobile viewers to hit the hype button. They discuss Elon Musk's "email me what you do" request and John Morgan's office cameras, and admit they used to pad their activity lists for Clear Channel. Beerfest gift bags. There will be 27 breweries. Gift bags come with charity pint glasses benefiting the Yellow Brick Road Foundation, and the "chance to win thousands" prize is a lottery ticket. Weird Job Wednesday: cat song. Dan performs his Broadway-style song roasting cats for the longest-running bit's latest guest. Purrs and Pages origin story. Matt, a longtime BDM and a DJ at the hosts' Halloween party, co-owns a bookstore and cat lounge in Ocala with his girlfriend. His daughters fell in love with a cat cafe in St. Augustine, and his oldest daughter, 21, is the manager and a co-founder. The city fought them for about eight months and pushed them out of downtown, so they opened outside the city limits as a used bookstore with a cat lounge attached. Tangents: John Travolta's backyard jet, Dog the Bounty Hunter as the hosts' "white whale" interview, and a bit about Tom's dream family business being a Metro PCS run with his sons. How the cat lounge works. Space: About 3,000 sq ft: a 1,000 sq ft bookstore and merch area, and a 2,000 sq ft cat lounge. Activities: Painting with cats, cat yoga and Pilates, book bedazzling, and reading with kids. Cats: They come from three rescues: House Meow, Quality of Life, and the Sumter County Humane Society. There are 15 to 20 cats at a time, roaming free 24/7. About 50 have been adopted in roughly five months. Celebrity cats: Social media fame helps adoptions, like Fiona, a rare hairless "dwelf." Visits: No coffee is made on site, only bottled drinks. Guests can book online or walk in. Money: Revenue is about 50/50 between books and the lounge. Private parties are available. Tom explains that his son Max's cat allergy has kept the family pet-free. Business ideas for Matt. The hosts pitch a mix of jokes and semi-serious ideas: Selling emotional support animal vests on site. A host admits he has a full kit for his own dog. Matt shares a real story: a customer showed up with a German Shepherd service dog, and they turned him away with a coupon. A fake cat "ancestry" report written by AI that links your cat to famous historical figures. Matt says his daughters pushed back on AI-generated merch and he pulled it. Cat astrology and crystals, with a shout-out to Merlin's Vision in DeLand and its energy pyramid. Neighborhood and the "impossible task." The shop sits next to a smoke shop and across from a Checkers. A church nearby feeds the homeless on Tuesdays, and some come in with cat questions. Tom explains his "impossible task challenge" for saying no to pets: he says yes, but only if his sons hit a goal he knows they won't, like straight A's. His son nearly beat a 50-day push-up challenge. Books, peak times and rough kids. Best sellers are spicy romance, manga, mysteries and comics. Customers can trade a set number of books for lounge time, and a lot of political books come in that way. They opened June 5. Fridays through Sundays are busiest, and they expect holiday breaks to be big. With 6 employees and about 40 volunteers, they use a three-strikes rule for kids who are rough with the cats. The hosts also pitch a cat escape room. Problem cats, catnip and the cheetah fact. Two huge Maine Coons turned aggressive and went back to their original owner. A host floats a CBD "pet product" loophole idea after the hemp rollback and jokes about partnering with Dr. Chanlatte. The hosts look up catnip: it's in the mint family, and its oil, nepetalactone, mimics cat pheromones. Matt uses catnip sprays and bubbles to perk up overstimulated cats. Dan retells his cheetah fact, and they joke about it becoming his "grandpa" story, like a relative who quoted the Shake 'n Bake commercial at every dinner. Over/under on Matt's cats. Matt has two cats at home, though Violet would take one or two from every new group. Her favorite that got adopted was Xena, a big fluffy cat. They talk about street cats versus house-raised cats, including Missy, who came in after her owner entered hospice and took weeks to warm up. Purrs and Pages is offering BDMs 10% off. Kenny's day: Beerfest map. The hosts plug the weekday stream, about 10:30 to 3. Beerfest layout: standard wristbands, gift bags and sample cups are at Celery City. The 200 YBR charity pint glasses, which get a bigger pour, are in the lot near the West End at the Tom and Dan tent. They list the live bands and remind listeners the Pinball Dudes will be there. Kenny intro and Russell Brand. Kenny's AI-kids theme song plays, followed by jokes about long-time guests turning out to be secret villains. The hosts discuss people combing through Russell Brand's old stand-up after his conviction, and the British judge's wig and robes. Kenny's history story: the Harvey's bombing. Kenny tells the 1980 story of John Birges, a Hungarian immigrant who arrived with $3 from the Red Cross and spent it on sunglasses. He built a landscaping business and became a millionaire, then gambled away a fortune flying to Lake Tahoe every weekend. He left his teenage sons with $8,000 of food so he could live near the casinos, and his sons helped him get dynamite. He built an elaborate fake "IBM computer" bomb, left it at Harvey's casino, and demanded $3 million to be dropped by helicopter. His henchmen bungled the handoff: they drank at a motel, got into a fight over strobe batteries, were pulled over for speeding, and a girlfriend had a car crash. The bomb couldn't be defused, and it destroyed the building after a bomb-squad attempt. The owner sold "I Got Bombed at Harvey's" shirts and later charged admission to see the rubble. Birges's sons testified against him for immunity, and he was reportedly planning another bombing. Side bits: Tom's childhood camper "kingdom" and dumping a whole bag of dog food for a dog. Bubba Burgers debate. The show closes with a heated defense of Bubba Burgers, which the hosts insist go on the grill frozen. There's a nod to Veterans Day being the day before, and they jokingly tell chat-room Bubba Burger haters to log off.

A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan: Episode Notes Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ryan Davis, T Springs Sponsors / Ad Reads None. There were no sponsor segments. The only promotion was for Ryan Davis's weekend at The Funny Bone Orlando. Segment Rundown Cold open: Funny Bone plug. The hosts welcome Ryan Davis and T Springs, who are in town for two shows tonight and two tomorrow at The Funny Bone Orlando. Ryan does a quick "morning radio" voice to kick things off. Flashback: the 2017 visit. T remembers stopping by the studio in 2017 on their first "prove it" tour, when clubs booked them on weeknights. Krista had set up a press run for them, and a limo driver named George took them to two radio stations before the studio. T says he was struck by the setup (couches, emoji floor, full branding) and by the hosts' freedom to talk and dress however they wanted. He calls them early adopters, since clubs rarely pay for radio press anymore and comics just Zoom in now. The hosts credit Danger Brains, their original branding agency, and explain that they branded everything to look legitimate next to mainstream media. Along the way there's a running joke that the duo looks like "a biker and a cop." The $150K special. Ryan explains why he paid about $150,000 to film his own special, and jokes that he only learned he'd been overcharged when people said specials don't cost that much. He compares himself to Josh Johnson, who could bring proven weekly viewership to HBO, and says he had no such leverage. He hired top crew: the editor of Chris Rock's specials and the shooter of Mike Epps's specials. He also rented the House of Blues Chicago, repainted the stage, and brought in new lights, drapes and one-night-only Yondr phone pouches. He thanks Killer Mike and Run the Jewels for sending him their sneakers before release, and he wears the high-tops in the special. Netflix says no. Deon Cole personally walked the special into Netflix, and someone else pitched it too. After about six months Netflix passed without explaining why. Ryan says feedback is a basic courtesy, and a host compares it to dance competitions, where judges write down why a dancer missed the next level. Netflix then invited Ryan to the Netflix Is a Joke festival, where he killed with the same jokes from the special. T's independence take. T says he had pushed Ryan to stay independent and avoid corporate oversight, and that Netflix mostly cares about which talent brings in new subscribers. Ryan clarifies that he and T disagree often and that T doesn't speak for him. Both say the pushback is why their partnership works: a "yes" means something because it isn't coming from a yes-man. Going around Netflix. Ryan says the people he wanted from Netflix were casual viewers who need to be told what to watch, since real comedy fans already go to clubs. He posted clips of the special that each passed a million views and beat Netflix's own clips, even though Netflix has about 30 times his following. He sold the full special on Patreon, then partnered with Ali Siddiq to put it on Siddiq's YouTube, where it has 5.2 million views. T had long pushed him to join TikTok, and Ryan got about 200,000 followers right away. Ryan still dislikes TikTok and argues it should be a space for kids, not their parents. Business impact and the doubters. Ryan's weekend crowds grew from about 600 to about 1,100, and he calls it the best tour of his career. T points to YouTube comments with timestamps as proof people watched the whole thing. Ryan says his favorite comments are from people who doubted him and admit he's as good as he says. The talk moves to hate-watching: Floyd Mayweather's fights against Conor McGregor drew crowds hoping he'd lose, and in wrestling, heels like Stone Cold Steve Austin got so popular they stopped being heels. A more mature audience. T says the special showed people that Ryan was a stand-up before he made videos, and that the crowds are now couples, married people and regular comedy-goers. Ryan says he wants to give an escape to people who've earned one, not to doom-scrollers who want him to repeat what they see online. He compares stand-up to going to a movie: you're there for the creator's vision, not your own. Social media comics versus stand-up. The hosts ask whether influencers who sell out clubs before they have a real set have it harder. Ryan's answer: imagine if the hosts' biggest audience had shown up for their very first episode and judged them by it. He says he pities those comics instead of envying them. The hosts mention that the chat room loves it when they geek out on the craft. Craft and paying dues. T says jumping the line is fine as long as you respect the art form. He points out that clubs are really food and drink businesses, so they'll book anyone who sells tickets. His examples of doing it right: DC Young Fly learned from people like Carlos Miller and Nick Cannon. Charlie Murphy toured with strong headliners like Bill Burr and Donnell Rawlings until he could headline himself. Wix is doing the same thing now by bringing comics like Ken Miller and Mike Hurley on the road. Other bits: a "spilled paint" analogy for an accidental hit; an influencer who sold out a 3,000-seat Hard Rock Live and got booed doing crowd work; and a prank-video creator who suddenly sells a stand-up tour. Ryan says the audience in that case had no proof of concept. He compares it to a piano player selling guitar tickets: different kinds of funny are like different kinds of music. T notes that some comics do 15 minutes of crowd work to sell the next city and are strong stand-ups for the other 45, so fans should research before buying tickets. Celebrity podcasts and broadcast reps. The hosts note that celebrities and athletes get podcasts handed to them, mentioning Shaq and the "Hawk Tuah" girl, along with a running joke about her crypto episode. The hosts mention their 30-plus years in broadcasting, starting at age 19, and 3,870 podcast episodes. T says he's been in comedy for over 13 years but gets dismissed because he lacks a big following. Ryan went to school for sports journalism and quit that path when networks started hiring ex-athletes like Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice who couldn't explain the game. Chat room check-in. There are a little under 100 people in the live chat, and one viewer calls the episode a "pod tour." The hosts joke about the chat accusing a host of dyeing his hair the week before. The Kevin Durant beef. T describes Ryan's creative process: hours of quiet pacing, a photographic memory and no notepad. T also got a T-shirt made with Durant's picture for the video. Ryan explains that Durant claimed offense wins championships, then called Ryan a "trash comedian" in a reply. Ryan's video rebuttal made these points: Durant's Warriors title teams ranked top three in defensive efficiency. The only champion that wasn't elite on defense was the Kobe and Shaq Lakers, and both of them were All-Defensive. Mike D'Antoni's offensive system never won a title, and Durant's Brooklyn team with Harden and Kyrie fell short too. Draymond Green once lost a three-point contest to Kevin Hart. Durant shot poorly as OKC blew a 3-1 lead to the Warriors. Durant answered that he's "a trillion times better" at his job and mocked the six-minute video. Ryan says he'll spend a whole day on anyone who comes at him, because he enjoys the research more than the insult. All-in or oblivious. Ryan says he's either fully locked in or completely scattered. Examples: he went to grab his room key, stopped to eat dumplings instead and forgot the key; he didn't hear a word said on the car ride over; and he can't multitask. His kids and wife have to stand in front of him to get his attention. Dave Chappelle's nod. Ryan talks about his imposter syndrome when Chappelle praised him, which only sank in once Chappelle started quoting his material. Chappelle put him on his recent tour and pulled him aside afterward to offer advice. T recalls Ryan opening for Chappelle in Charlotte, their hometown, and hanging out in the green room. Ryan told Chappelle that his praise lands like Richard Pryor's or Eddie Murphy's would for Chappelle. On Chappelle controversies, Ryan says the people who get angry usually never heard the full bit. Outrage and dopamine. A host argues people are hooked on the cheap dopamine of being angry online. T compares comedy to a museum: not every piece is for everyone, but each one made it in. Ryan says he writes setups that unsettle you on purpose so the punchline lands harder, and people who quit early miss the payoff. He makes a playful drug analogy about waiting for the good stuff. The group then talks about doom-scrolling and how Ryan reads the comments on everything. Ryan loves comedy. T wants listeners to know Ryan loves comedy regardless of fame and constantly shares other comics on his Instagram stories, including a bit about a Blink-182-style whiny voice. T says the "arrogant" label doesn't fit someone who promotes others that much. Ryan pushes back on "it's all subjective" with a "what if I said I sing better than Whitney Houston" example, and adds that people are told to believe in themselves but get criticized for doing it loudly. Prince, the non-imposter. A host says some performers, like Prince, were never imposters. He remembers watching Prince make "Batdance" while playing every instrument himself. T notes that in a copycat world, nobody managed to become a second Prince. Ari Spears on Vlad TV. Ryan explains that Ari Spears's praise on Vlad TV went viral. He clarifies that a shoutout can get people to watch something but won't make them spend money. T says many people watched the special just to prove Ari wrong, even though Ari has 30 years in the business. A host closes the bit: he'd take comedy advice from Ari but not fashion advice. Wrap: the 18-minute viewer. Ryan shares a comment from a viewer who quit the special after 18 minutes, came back out of boredom, and called it one of the best specials he'd seen. The group jokes that judging an hour-long special that early is like leaving a movie before the hero becomes Batman, and blames short attention spans. Meet and greet and sign-off. T plugs Ryan's free meet and greet and promises something special for anyone who says they came from the Tom and Dan show. There's a joke about Pauly Shore taking fan photos from a chair, which they say is all in fun. The hosts tease the Friday Free Show in about 30 minutes. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned 2017 (past): T and Ryan's first visit to the studio on a radio press run before a Tampa Improv show. Ongoing: Ryan's special is on Ali Siddiq's YouTube (5.2 million views) and for sale on Ryan's Patreon. Clips are on TikTok and Instagram. In about 30 minutes: The Friday Free Show with Tom and Dan. Tonight: Ryan Davis does two shows at The Funny Bone Orlando, and the hosts push the late show. Tomorrow: Two more Ryan Davis shows at The Funny Bone Orlando. After each show: A free meet and greet with Ryan, with something special for anyone who says they heard about it on Tom and Dan. Standing offer: The hosts invite Ryan and T to Zoom or call in anytime. Notable Guests/Callers Ryan Davis: Stand-up comedian headlining The Funny Bone Orlando, and the main guest. T Springs: Ryan's longtime best friend and partner on tour, and co-guest. Krista: Mentioned as the person who set up the 2017 press run, and joked about as being in the room. Live chat room: Just under 100 viewers who weighed in during the show. There were no phone callers or voicemails.

A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan - Episode Notes Episode: "Friday Free Show #900" Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (Orlando comedian) Sponsors / Ad Reads BudDocs.org (Dr. Chanlatte): Florida medical marijuana recommendations. You see him in person once, then telemedicine after that, and renewals are handled by text/email. Pricing: transfer patients $99, existing $125, new $175. Locations in Lake Mary, Hunters Creek, Tampa and Melbourne. He hand-curates "Bud Deals," dispensary deals that can save up to 60%. If you don't qualify, you don't pay, and same-day appointments are available. Opened with a short tangent about robotic AI voices in ads. Just Call Moe: Named as the studio sponsor ("Injured on the Go, Just Call Moe studio") and thanked for underwriting Beerfest. Don Mealey Chevrolet (Clermont): Red Tag sale on Equinox and Silverado. End of year is a good time to buy because they're clearing room for new inventory. Ask for JC Harrelson, general sales manager, and say you're a Tom and Dan listener. They've advertised with the show for nearly 12 years. Chevy link on tomanddan.com. The Pinball Dudes (ThePinballDudes.net): The new Stern Fallout machine is in the studio lobby. Pinball rental for $350/month, with Andrew setting it up and swapping in a new machine every quarter. Pitched as a gift or a conversation piece for a business. Andrew's cell: 321-591-1062. Beerfest sponsors thanked on air: Just Call Moe, Modern Plumbing Industries, Jeff's Bagel Run, PyroSpot Fireworks, The Pinball Dudes, plus a nod to Dr. Powers for helping out. Segment Rundown Show 900 milestone: The hosts mark Friday Free Show #900 and figure show 1,000 should land around the show's 20th anniversary in 2029. A crude "fit them in" tangent follows. Beerfest 2026 plug: Bad at Business Beerfest is Nov 21 in Sanford with 28+ breweries. Melissa posted the pouring list. Six live bands are booked, including Gary Laser Eyes, Stony Fools and Lady Ebor, with The Super Villains doing the after-party plus late-night karaoke (spellings as transcribed). The footprint is one street smaller this year to save money, but there's more on the bill. Dan admits six months ago he was sure it wouldn't happen because costs had gotten so high. Free sample cups and wristbands start at noon (21+, bring ID). Also: 500 gift bags with a chance to win thousands, food trucks and vendors, and no fence. They joke about $150 VIP tickets at other fests. Sofas and Suds memories: Sofas and Suds couch races are the next day, Nov 22, now 11+ years running. Ross remembers the early rule-free years: head-on collisions in a cul-de-sac, and a guy named Derek who got his foot run over. The hosts agree it was "gladiatorial combat." No pets at events: Dogs are a no for liability reasons, and the bit escalates into exotic animals (capybara, ostrich, panther, orangutan). That leads to Mike Tyson's tiger regrets, the story of him offering a zookeeper money to fight a gorilla, and an influencer who claims he'll fight a chimp. Flood etiquette gripe: A BDM who painted the "loneliest bear in the world" had his house flooded without flood insurance. Dan doesn't want neighbors kayaking or jet-skiing (wakes) around flooded streets while people are hurting. Concrete Toad argues kayaking beats wading through sewage. That turns into "read the room," the Michael Penix press-conference laughing comparison, and other disaster etiquette (no fireworks after a neighbor's house fire, no kites after a tornado). Ross jokes on behalf of PyroSpot. Also covered: the Brevard "shark" in floodwater that Reddit decided was a tarpon. Revenge stories kickoff: Melissa emailed after Tom said egged houses just wash off in the rain. She shared a story about a woman in her 50s who spread crunchy peanut butter on an ex's front door. Other old-school car revenge: bologna on a car hood in the Florida sun, and Testors enamel paint dumped on a car. Ross says he's a "cut you out" guy, while Dan and Tom admit to revenge fantasies and agree the fantasy usually beats the reality, like vacation planning. BDM revenge submissions: A boss who poached seven of his old employer's best people (hosts say that's just smart business). Ross's Target opening story: a carnival game worker changed the balloon-pop rules on his son, so Ross warned other customers, got moved along by a cop, emailed Target corporate and turned down a $25 gift card on principle. Others: dating a cheating ex's mom, signing an ex up for Scientology mail, and Keyed Up (a locksmith) on uncooked spaghetti in a deadbolt. Ross's dorm Book of Mormon prank. Dan's daughter Maisie took a Gideon Bible from a man outside her school so he wouldn't feel bad. More: crickets loosed in an ex's truck, feeding a neighbor's dog laxatives (hosts object), moving out on Mother's Day morning, Big Rick blacklisting a bartender, a soaked hard hat on a job site, and Circle K hot dog caricature stickers of a co-worker. Dan's unexecuted city plan: During his street reconstruction, Dan planned to ask random City of Orlando employees whether they knew a made-up employee, and tell them to pass along an insult. His wife talked him out of it. The "too far" submission: A listener's FSU story about humiliating a sorority member who rejected a friend, which ended with her leaving school. The hosts and BDMs agree it's a crime and way out of proportion. Brief reference to The Chair Company and revenge spiraling out of control. Best revenge debate: Dan rejects "the best revenge is living well": it only counts if the person sees it and regrets it. That leads to Michael Jordan's manufactured grudges, a rumor that he bribed the halftime video crew to win bets with a Bulls janitor, and the idea that greatness (Jordan, Brady) needs an unhealthy process. Music break: "Peace of Mind" by a Vienna, Austria pop-punk trio formed in 2003 (band name transcribed as "D Cracks"). MLB pitch-betting scandal: Two pitchers are accused of tipping off bettors on pitch speeds and types for in-game prop bets. Ross explains the betting side. Dan argues even a 1 mph change hurts the game's integrity and brings up Pete Rose. They cover offshore books and the Dominican Republic connection, and the two June pitches (vs. Mariners and Cardinals) with bets up to 136 times the normal size. Also: the "rooster/chicken" texts defended as cockfighting bets, and whether a no-paper-trail plan could ever work. Disputed payouts and the Nevada Gaming Commission come up as a possible Weird Job Wednesday guest idea. Why risk millions: Salaries discussed ($13M career earnings and $6.4M in 2026 for one pitcher, $782K for the other) and charges (wire fraud, honest services fraud, sports bribery, money laundering, up to 20 years). Dan's theory is that it's the rush of beating the system, compared to a comedian's ex-wife posting his secrets on Facebook. Dan envies pitchers' calm under pressure and mentions high school friend Gary Glover, who made the majors. He feels for players from poor backgrounds, while noting that honest bettors also get hurt. Tom and Dan prop bets: Tom imagines the show getting Rogan-sized, sportsbooks posting props on him mispronouncing words, and him tipping off BDMs in code. Ross says he bets less now because AI and widespread stats have drained the value out of it. Athlete money updates: Prosecutors say the main pitcher owes the IRS about $500K-600K, which the hosts see as a possible motive. Rashee Rice filed for bankruptcy, and they treat athletes as businesses. Dan is annoyed Antonio Brown got no jail time. Music break: The Interrupters, "Back from the Dead." Tom's hair dye denial: The chat room says Tom dyes his hair. He denies it and offers a lie detector and a "hair scientist." Side tangents: Kinko's refusing to print old Florida ads for Maisie's room, a list of stunts the show never did, a PPM meter joke, and the old idea of counting down 180 days on air before swearing on purpose, which Jack loved. Jack's hair gets roasted too. NBA ref ejection debate: A courtside fan's chest pass back to the court hit a female referee, and she ejected him. Luka Doncic reacted on the spot. Dan sees why she had to draw a hard line given what female refs face, and admits his own ingrained bias when he hears women on betting podcasts. Ross says it was the wrong call, the fan should be compensated, and the game should just go on. Brief callback to the fans-throwing-objects-on-court trend. Lamar Odom story: The documentary, his overdose at a Nevada brothel and the "Reload" supplement. On the Kardashians show, Khloé tells guests, including Fortune Feimster and Nikki Glazer, about rescuing Lamar from a hotel full of people. That kicks off a long, crude debate on definitions (circle jerk vs. daisy chain) and whether the frat "cookie" game is real or an urban legend. Tom says no one has ever actually eaten the cookie. Also: whether people like Charlie Sheen, Steve-O and Rodman lived "fuller" lives, and what your adult kids eventually learn about you. They ask listeners to email in. Caller Ryan's Select Cut: Ryan recommends the Nov 24, 2014 BDM episode "Ross Freaks Out." In it, Ross tells how Little Red changed the couch-race theme without telling him and he showed up in the wrong outfit. Ryan also tips Tom that nail polish remover gets hair dye off your forehead, and Tom still denies dyeing. Sign-off: The usual closing lines, see you Monday. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Nov 24, 2014: Archive BDM episode "Ross Freaks Out" (Ryan's Select Cut) June (2026 season): The two flagged MLB pitches in the betting case Now through year end: Don Mealey Chevrolet Red Tag sale, Clermont Ongoing: BudDocs.org same-day appointments with Dr. Chanlatte; Pinball Dudes $350/month rental (Andrew, 321-591-1062); show line 1-844-TOM-N-DAN; Chevy link at tomanddan.com; revenge stories on the BDM page Monday: Next show Nov 21, noon: Bad at Business Beerfest, Sanford (free, 21+, 28+ breweries, six bands, 500 gift bags, after-party with The Super Villains and karaoke) Nov 22: Tom and Dan's Sofas and Suds couch races, Sanford 2029: Show's 20th anniversary, around show #1,000 Notable Guests/Callers Ross McCoy: In-studio guest, Orlando comedian Melissa: Show video editor; emailed the peanut butter revenge story and posted the Beerfest brewery list Ryan: Caller with the Tom and Dan Select Cut of the week Concrete Toad, Keyed Up, Jen, Big Rick: BDMs/chat room members whose comments were read on air Andrew (The Pinball Dudes): Mentioned in the ad read, not on air

Indulge in the finest moments of the award-winning talk radio show, "A Corporate Time with Tom & Dan," airing weeknights on Real Radio 104.1 FM. As one of the pioneering FM talk radio stations, Real Radio 104.1 has been a trailblazer, and Tom & Dan have been the captivating voice of the reluctant night show. Why reluctant, you ask? 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. Thank you for being a part of their journey and tuning in!

A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "899 - Halloween with Sam" Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Samantha (Sam) Haar Sponsors / Ad Reads My Eternal Vitality (Dr. Powers): Pre-roll read covering hormone imbalance symptoms (fatigue, low energy, low libido), plus peptides and GLP-1 microdosing. Dan talked about Andrea's results with it and his own gut health improvement. Consultations are free; blood tests cost extra and many can be done at home. MyEternalVitality.com. Injured On The Go, Just Call Mo: Studio naming credit in the show open. Modern Plumbing (ModernPI.com): Dan admitted flushing Tootsie Rolls for an old Instagram bit and breaking the kitchen toilet. Covers drain and sewer, water heaters, water quality, and pipe relining for cast iron. Service area is Seminole, Orange, Lake, Volusia and Osceola. Mention Tom & Dan for 10% off, which also helps the show track results. Jeff's Bagel Run: Four new breakfast sandwiches under the "Other" tab in the app: bacon egg and cheese, egg and cheese, egg white and cheese, and turkey sausage egg and cheese. Dan had the turkey sausage on Asiago, and Maisie had bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. They also mentioned Otis Brand coffee and the cream cheeses retired "to make room." JeffsBagelRun.com. Segment Rundown Cold open: Halloween costumes. Sam and Dan dressed up. Dan is David the Gnome with an inflatable Swift the Fox, and he thanked Ross McCoy for the fox idea. Tom grudgingly wore his purple "business Joker" jacket over a polo before a post-show meeting with Wild Fork, while drinking from a Grimace cup. Tom was loaded up on cold medicine. Events stress, prepper food. Sam and Dan teased Tom for never planning ahead and treating everything like the 2027 cruise. Tom asked about the viral "stock up on three days of food" trend. Business up top: cruise. The 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise is at about 250 people and still booking. About six people have birthdays on board, and they'll get the spotlight during the live podcast. "The Beast" is reportedly retired from partying and has a master's degree. That led to a callback about Tom's government lie detector test. New website and app. The new tomanddan.com is live and streamlined. They debated whether businesses still need websites, and Dan admitted he judges breweries that only have a Facebook page. Matthew has pushed three app updates this week to fix login problems. Email [email protected] with app issues. Trail of Terror, crude tangent. Dan plugged the last night of St. Cloud's Trail of Terror, which is in its 16th year at Peghorn Nature Park. Tom's mangling of the park name turned into an off-color tangent about a secondhand rumor involving someone Tom knows. Charity dodgeball disaster. Sam told the story of a Moe DeWitt-sponsored children's cancer charity dodgeball tournament. Bus recruited a last-minute team: Sam, her husband Trav, "Karate" Tommy G, and BDM Josh Gibbon. Sam named the team the Legal Eagles. Bus bought heavy wool eagle capes, but the theme turned out to be superheroes, which led to a debate about why there are no eagle superheroes. He also brought beers to a children's charity event. Sam described teens running the rules on a broken mic and over-competitive grown men. Bus hit a boy with Down syndrome in the face and kept saying he was aiming for the boy's mother. The team lasted about six hours and went deep in the bracket. Tommy broke his ribs on a pony wall, and Josh tore his Achilles, needed surgery, and was carried out by a St. Cloud sheriff while Bus smiled next to him. The team walked away near the end after a grown man from the "Dodge Fathers" threw a tantrum over a sudden-death round. They compared it to the right level of effort for Level 99 and Sofas and Suds. Professor Hoodoo call-in magic. The first call-in magic segment the show has done. Professor Hoodoo called from Daytona Beach, where the area was being locked down for a presidential visit, and Sam used the box of tricks he left in studio. He did a Marie Laveau dice numerology trick. Sam's total of 136 reduced to "1," meaning new beginnings. He guessed her secret number as 86 or 87, and it was 88, which the hosts counted as close enough. Next was a penny trick with liars and truth tellers. He got everyone's hand right, but Dan wasn't consistent with his lie and blew his part. Hoodoo promised tarot next time. Chat called it one of the best segments ever. Halloween special: Sunland Hospital. The ACT Halloween special visits the former site of Sunland Hospital in Pine Hills with Amy LaCour. They clarified it was a state hospital for people with disabilities, not a mental hospital. The special also visits Greenwood Cemetery, where about 160 patients are buried, with Don Price. Ghost call. A caller on a bad line couldn't be heard, and the hosts declared it a spirit trying to make contact. David the Gnome deep dive. Dan explained his costume. The show ran on Nick Jr. from 1988 to 1995, started in Spain, was dubbed with Tom Bosley's voice (they also noted his Hefty bag ads), and the hosts credited the Canadians for bringing it over. They played the theme song, then Dan's NSFW remix reimagining the gnome as a Rick Ross type. Gnome facts from the show: about six inches tall, seven times stronger than humans, a 19x sense of smell, 400-year lifespans, always same-sex twins, kids live at home until 100, trapdoor homes, and moles dig the septic systems. Dan recapped episode 4, where a troll swaps babies and a farmer throws the troll baby in a river until David rescues it. Other episodes: burying a hunter's gun, and trolls turning to stone in sunlight. The show was based on the book "Gnomes" by Wil Huygen and Rien Poortvliet, written like a real field guide. Dan is hunting for copies and shouted out Beehive. Side rant on bad modern TV themes and HBO's "mechanical puzzle" intros. Small-town shops debate. Tom stood by hating browsing quaint downtown shops on vacation, citing Helen, Georgia and a hot springs trip. Sam, Dan and chat disagreed. Playboy Man Baby. Sam recommended the band, which she saw at Fest. Jon Lovitz, AI clickbait. Crystal Hefner called Lovitz the Playboy Mansion's "number one customer" on the Lisa Guerrero Unleashed podcast, and Lovitz laughed it off. That led to a discussion of AI scraping podcast transcripts for clickbait, and of checking AI research before trusting it. Dan noted Claude gives citations you can trace back. Sam's plugs. Twitch (semanticsmedia). Red Baron GoFundMe debate. They played the viral video of a Red Baron pizza stocker losing his temper at a prankster running the fake Apple Pay sound prank ("it's not that deep"). The GoFundMe climbed from about $335K toward $500K during the segment. Tom argued it's way too much and questioned donating after it passed $250K. Sam and Dan said people can spend their money how they want and are rewarding an average worker over influencer culture. Other points: the prankster has only about 1,200 followers, GoFundMe money isn't taxed, Red Baron's corporate response, and a callback to Tom's $80 gold lizard coffin. Nevada soccer GoFundMe. They discussed the 3-year-old Winter Park soccer player whose GoFundMe is around $70K. Tom, a former youth ref and linesman, explained that rec leagues sub kids out for equal time and said the story was framed as racial when it wasn't. Dan joked about parents being upset when he was subbed in at basketball in DeLand. Rockville, Warped, Live Nation. Rockville Tom called in on a bad line. Tom plans to attend Rockville in May for Faith No More, and talked about asking his wife to email for Warped Tour media passes and possibly reaching out to Kevin Lyman. They criticized Live Nation buying up small venues, and mentioned the Crowbar Tampa owner's change.org petition. Halloween plans. Sam is handing out candy and watching old sitcom Halloween specials. Tom shared his move: an empty bowl with a "please take one" sign. Listener calls. Debary Joe told a Fest "feats of strength" story about out-racing two college guys at 1:30 a.m. in Gainesville, and plugged Five Star Pizza. Concrete Toad described his Leesburg Halloween setup: thousands of dollars in animatronics stored in a decked-out attic, fog, strobes, and a demon voice changer. The room voted werewolf over the burlap pig mask. BDM Bug Man Charles from Byrne Pest sided with Tom, saying his family raised about $600 on GoFundMe during his daughter's medical crisis and that Dan reached out to help them directly. "Voodoo Kudini" prank call. A fake mentalist started a number trick, and Tom hung up on him. Big Tim, kids and AI. Big Tim is presumably still in L.A. pursuing entertainment and may have changed his number. Tom said he struggles to suggest careers for his sons because AI will do everything, and the others roasted him for giving his kids a bleak bedtime outlook. Wrap: event plugs. See dates below. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Tonight (Fri, Oct 30): Last night of the St. Cloud Trail of Terror, Peghorn Nature Park (16th year).

Fish anywhere on the beach in the morning, then weigh in at noon at Maverick's Hangar Bar and Grill in Satellite Beach. The Pinball Dudes (thepinballdudes.net) - Home or business pinball rental for $350/month, with Andrew delivering, setting up and swapping machines every quarter. The new Fallout machine got a plug. Pitched as a gift (a year membership) and for business lobbies and bars. Andrew is a certified Stern dealer (buy, sell, trade). Text or call 321-591-1062. He'll have machines at Beerfest. Segment Rundown Cold open: show a day early - The Friday free show is recorded Thursday because Dan is headed to Fest. Tom bought the tickets as a gift, and the hosts bicker over whether "company money" counts as a gift. New tomanddan.com launch - The rebuilt, stripped-down site is live. Dan recalls building the first version around 2009-2010 in Apple's discontinued iWeb and compares it to today's "vibe coding." He credits Jeff Blasey for the original logo and the Danger Brains for the long-running second site. The old setup was costing about $600/month in Amazon Web Services fees, plus emergency costs when it crashed during Tom's hip recovery. Dan asks listeners to test the new site and report problems. Tom says take the weekend off. Sanford and Son surprise - Dan watched an episode he'd never seen, where Fred grieves his late wife Elizabeth. It was a serious turn that showed Redd Foxx's dramatic range. He also gives a nod to the classic TV channel he falls asleep to. Norm Macdonald documentary - Discussion of the Judd Apatow-produced Norm doc, which is mostly a compilation of familiar clips. Favorite bits: Norm's podcast with Super Dave Osborne and Adam Eget, and the Larry King interview. Dan briefly suspected the narration was AI before realizing it came from Norm's audiobook. The group debates Norm keeping his cancer private (Tom says he'd do the same, which becomes a running "lumpy taint" gag). Tom's dad used to skip doctor appointments for soul food. Unfunny executives - The NBC executive who fired Norm from SNL leads to a rant about one higher-up's subjective taste outweighing popularity, with a nod to the hosts' own radio past. Ross compares it to a vegetarian running McDonald's. McDonald's two cheeseburger meal - Dan praises the meal as an all-time comfort food while his health-kick daughter Maisie disapproves. Talk of Maisie packing her own salads versus Tom's ice-cream-loving boys, and a proposed "dad swap." Kids trading at school - Ross's kid traded Pop-Tarts for Pub Subs. Dan traded G.I. Joes as a kid, and Maisie's Nee Doh trade got reversed after a parent called. The hosts agree that kids trading and parents undoing it is timeless. Tangent on Pokemon cards used as hygiene bribes for Tom's boys. Dad's top drawer - Inventory of everyone's junk drawers: gag gifts, belt buckles, knives, yo-yos (one from Jim Phillips), guitar picks, dead vape batteries and old medical card IDs. Also whether the kids know what's in there, and beer versus Mountain Dew. Folding Bot (title segment) - Tom saw a Chinese robot demo doing karate moves on junk cars and argues the real life-changer would be a household robot that does laundry, chores, yard work and pool care. Ross and Dan push back on price and current ability, citing the Tesla robot and a viral video of a shaky-handed robot slicing cucumbers. Dan argues washing is solved and folding is the real problem (Andrea's "folding parties"). Ideas pitched: a washer-dryer-folder combo, and a dishwasher rack that rises straight into the cabinets. The bit escalates into crude robot jokes before the break. Music: Soul Glo - Dan plays "February Theory" by Philly punk band Soul Glo, a Buzz Stecker favorite, ahead of their full-length album. Moe Comedy Jam total - Ross relays a text from Buzz Stecker: Moe and comedians Ross, Larry Fulford, Amy LaCour, Will Blaylock and Sean Finnerty raised about $8,000 for the Yellow Brick Road Fund. Amelia Earhart, officially done - Breaking news: the latest expedition's "Taraia object" turned out to be wood coated in coral sand, with no aluminum. The hosts list the earlier misses: the 2017 History Channel photo, Robert Ballard's 2019 Nikumaroro search, and the 2024 sonar "plane" that was a rock. They mock the funding, the crew getting chased off the island nightly by giant coconut crabs, and declare the topic retired. Side talk on D.B. Cooper and whether any real mysteries are left. Detroit-style pizza - Dan's formerly pizza-hating daughter now begs for it. History: Buddy's Rendezvous in Detroit baked pizza in steel auto-factory parts trays, which gives the fried crust and crispy cheese edge (frico), with sauce striped on top. Local picks are Soto Square and Buttercrust. Black Magic Pizza's walk-up window may be getting a brick-and-mortar spot. The hosts riff on the restaurant business and "using every scrap" of podcast. Email: doing things solo - Charles asks why the hosts go to shows without their wives. Dan says Andrea goes solo too (Matt Nathanson). Tom never goes alone, though his wife did take him to Buena Vista Social Club. Chat room responses from Robert, Ryan, Jen and KeyedUpBDM. Dan admits he usually finds someone he knows (John Moreland show, Tony Rage at Fest) and has some Fest anxiety. Ross won't fly solo to a sports gambling convention. Andrea chimes in from the chat. Gambling problem? - Tom recounts recent trips built around casinos and jokes he may have a problem. Ross does his bit about buying 1-800-GAMBLER and having it play "The Gambler." Discussion of what help lines actually do, the Gamblers Anonymous bet joke, and the untouched casino pamphlets. Voicemail: donating underwear - Roger, down from 350 to 238 pounds, asks if he can donate his old underwear. The hosts look it up: Goodwill and most thrift stores reject used underwear and only take new, packaged items. Support the Girls was mentioned. Side gripe about devices auto-reconnecting. Waffle House shirt - Ross's OutKast x Waffle House collab shirt gets compliments, plus complaints about boxy cuts. Email: Publix warehouse perks - Steven, a former Publix warehouse worker, describes free buffet meals, steak days for safety milestones and Super Bowl spreads. The hosts contrast that with the negativity on the Publix Reddit. Tom says he's more suited to warehouse work, and Ross offers him hours at his warehouse. Voicemail: McMurtry Speirling - BDM Jeff follows up on last week's Tesla Roadster talk with the fan-downforce McMurtry Speirling. Tangents on Air Hogs, gas-powered RC cars and miniature working Harley engines. Tom's family dismissed last week's Tesla clip as AI until Crystal checked with AI and still doubted it. The hosts call ignoring an agreed tiebreaker a marriage foul. Being right at home - Dan has had a week of apologizing after Andrea fixed the bedroom HomePods setup he botched. Ross wins a hotel-room AirPods dispute with his wife by pinging them through Find My. Dan recalls the rare thrill of being right. Music: Fake Names - Dan plays "Punk Ruins." Music: Dad Hat / Goth Girl Scout - After "Goth Boy Scout" by Dad Hat, Dan mentions the viral goth Girl Scout photo, which he predicts will be a Halloween costume. Discussion of Scouts' decline, cookie and popcorn sales at storefronts, Ross's "better popcorn inside" line, and Tom always buying. Tom as Home Depot manager - Tom says he could run a Home Depot, which the others ridicule. Listener Kara, whose partner managed at both Home Depot and Lowe's, says he couldn't. Tom dismisses her. Chapman Survey of American Fears - Ross runs down the 2026 top 10: corrupt government officials at #1 (over 60%), U.S. in another world war #2, AI harming the political process #3 (a first for AI), loved ones becoming seriously ill #4, loved ones dying #5, economic collapse #6, AI hurting the economy #7, government tracking of personal data #8, biological warfare #9, terrorist attack #10. The hosts debate whether a world war is possible in a fractured media era and current conflicts. Kissimmee mayor arrest - The hosts joke that steering contracts to friends is the whole point of politics. Trump wants a Trump Ocean - Ross reads Newsweek quotes where Trump says he asked Google's Sundar Pichai to rename an ocean and was turned down. Whatever happened to the intern - Story of a Full Sail intern sent by Kevin Boyd who left his wife waiting in the car for about five hours. Plenty of jokes along the way. Explosion of the Week: Halifax - Ross covers the December 1917 Halifax Explosion. After an anti-submarine net strands both ships overnight, the SS Imo collides with the munitions-laden SS Mont-Blanc in the narrows. Details: the fire and detonation, a blast felt about 129 miles away, the harbor floor briefly exposed, a tsunami up to about 59 feet, over 1,600 killed initially, 9,000 injured, and 12,000+ buildings damaged. Dispatcher Vince Coleman stayed at his post to wire a warning that stopped an incoming train, and a blizzard hit the next day. This leads into WWI horrors via Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, family war stories of uncertain truth, and Crystal secretly using AI for ancestry. Cake tonight, Fest tomorrow - Dan is seeing Cake at Cocoa Riverfront Park with no opener. The hosts recall their hits, early albums (Motorcade of Generosity, Fashion Nugget) and peers like Bloodhound Gang, Crash Test Dummies and Presidents of the USA. Tom's theory is that parks have an annual budget for one big act, and the group guesses Cake's fee. Dan heads to Fest in Gainesville for Lagwagon, Pulley, Drag the River and comedy including Larry Fulford, and to see Tony Rage filling in on guitar for Make War. Sign-off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Tonight (Thu, Oct 22) - Dan sees Cake at Cocoa Riverfront Park. Fri, Oct 23 and Sat, Oct 24, plus Oct 30 - The final nights of the St. Cloud Trail of Terror.

Indulge in the finest moments of the award-winning talk radio show, "A Corporate Time with Tom & Dan," airing weeknights on Real Radio 104.1 FM. As one of the pioneering FM talk radio stations, Real Radio 104.1 has been a trailblazer, and Tom & Dan have been the captivating voice of the reluctant night show. Why reluctant, you ask? 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. Thank you for being a part of their journey and tuning in!

A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "897 - Gotta Know Where the Nozzles Are" Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads Jeff's Bagel Run: Opening read. The hosts rave about the cannoli cream cheese (ricotta and mini chocolate chips) and the banana pudding spread, which they call top three. They also mention the hot sauce and chive and onion spreads (there's a vegan version), Otis coffee and seasonal drinks. The free app gives a free bagel at signup and earns points. Find locations at jeffsbagelrun.com. Just Call Moe / DeWitt Law: Studio name ("Injured on the Go, Just Call Moe Studio"). They plug Moe's free VIP program at justcallmoe.com, which comes with a metal card and invites to events. Streamline Florida (Brian): Mortgage read. Brian keeps clients on file and calls when a rate or program makes sense. A host's sister-in-law Alex saved thousands with him. His cell number is under the Tom & Dan logo at streamlineflorida.com, and listeners should say they're a Tom & Dan listener. Surfshark VPN: Tom & Dan deal through the link on tomanddan.com, with extra months from $2.39/month. Uses mentioned: picking a country to stream shows from abroad (Andrea watches a British show through BBC) and watching soccer like EPL and Serie A. Segment Rundown Cold open: "What's up" greetings. The hosts riff on the classic 2000s podcast greeting. Then they argue again over whether to keep saying their names at the top of every show, a fight that also came up on Love Thy Neighbor with Colette. Dan defends the intro as "fit and finish" and a sign of respect for the audience. Ross's podcast plug. Ross promotes the new Orlando Talk Show episode with comedian Larry Fulford. They break down Moe's Comedy Jam, and Ross tells a darkly funny story about his dad calling to say he has prostate cancer. Moe's Comedy Jam details. The show is tomorrow at the Funny Bone and benefits the Yellow Brick Road Foundation (YBRF.org). Moe's bowling tournament usually benefits Rosie's Adventures. Colette and Kentucky Steve are coming. The start time gets mixed up on air, and Dan realizes he gave Colette the wrong time. Ross's celebrity fishing. Ross is staying at "the Wizard's House" tonight so he can go pompano fishing with Captain B in the morning, using Captain B's three-hook setup. After that he'll be at the weigh-in after-party at Mavericks in Satellite Beach. Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 update. Bookings are reportedly on pace to beat cruises from "bigger" radio shows. Prices go up as room blocks sell out, and balcony rooms already went up $20. Ross compares it to mining Bitcoin. Beerfest gift bag debate. Gift bags are back for the Bad at Business Beerfest. Ross pushes for totes, but Tom insists on tiny black printed plastic bags because sponsors pay for everything. The running "brain internet search" bit starts here. Sponsors and partners mentioned: Pinball Dudes (Andrew, the first-ever Beerfest sponsor) with two free-play pinball tents, Tactical Brewing (moving to a new location soon) and the Supervillains playing a free after-party at the West End. SJ in the chat asks whether Publix could sponsor the totes. Tom says they won't, citing his Publix manager contact. Sofas & Suds. The Sanford Couch Races are the next day. All teams are set, Tom and Dan call the races, and the event is free and family- and dog-friendly. Science Center Halloween party. At Tracy's request, they call it the best value in town: drinks, food, karaoke and demonstrations, which makes it a good date night. Tickets at OSC.org. Passing on traits to kids. Tom says he "cursed" his sons with his genetics. Talk turns to dads kissing kids on the lips. Dan says his week alone with Maisie, while Andrea traveled for work, was one of the best of his life, even though his routine fell apart. Kids and phones. Tom regrets giving his sons phones but says it's almost a social necessity. Dan is upgrading to the new folding iPhone Duo and promises a review next week. Unanswered texts. Tom's mom, Marilyn Vann ("Mimi"), texted Max about 30 times without a reply. Max had seen the texts but never registered them. Chat parents (Tracy, Conway J) say their kids do the same. Tom admits he ignores small-talk texts, including Dan's, and finds emoji reactions passive-aggressive. Tom also tells how he hearted a listener's text about a racing simulator and the listener's girlfriend took it the wrong way. The after-school recap. Whichever parent does school pickup (Krystal, in Tom's house) hears all about the day, and the other parent gets "good." Tom also complains that English class is now called "ELA." Tommy's hero letter. Tommy's ELA assignment was a three-paragraph letter to his hero. Tom pictures getting a letter about his half marathons and imagines framing it. Instead, Tommy used the rule that a letter handed directly to your hero gets the same credit, told the teacher he had done that, and never wrote it. Tom blames himself for passing down a loophole-hunting brain. Do the hosts have heroes? Tom says he never really had heroes. As a kid he probably would have named his dad or grandfather, or given whatever answer the teacher wanted. HHN RIP tour recap. Ross went to Halloween Horror Nights with Moe's VIP group (24 people), and comedian and Comedy Jam alum Danielle Mathis was their guide. They skipped every line, an estimated 12 hours of waiting saved. Food review: the viral vegan pizza skull was just okay, the carnival smash tacos (a Big Mac-style taco) were a 10/10, and the chimichurri beef and curry chicken over mashed potatoes were also good. House reviews, part 1. Ozzy Osbourne (Ross loved it; he says the Orlando house uses different albums than the Hollywood one), Evil Dead (okay), Caged Cannibals (a walrus-man character Ross mistook for his reflection in a mirror), the frozen-corpse future house (decent), Invasion: Alien Abduction (the one to skip, the same scare repeated over and over), Jack and Oddfellow (lots of jokes about the name) and Stranger Things (excellent even for a non-fan). Skipping the line. Tom says he feels guilty being ushered past people waiting and would rather use a secret passage. Ross says he loved it, admits he's normally a "line waiter" and jokes about photographing the crowds stuck behind barricades. Babies at HHN. Ross sat behind a woman with a sweating baby in a carrier in the 95-degree heat, and the baby's dad put in earplugs for himself only. Tom admits he once forgot to cover Tommy's ears during a cannon firing in St. Augustine. They agree babies should pay full price or be kept out. Nightmare Fuel: Blood Noir. The show is a sexy vampire show at the Fear Factor stadium, and the RIP group was seated next to a runway into the crowd. Highlights: a sword swallower who licks the blade, does push-ups and rolls with the sword in, then screws corkscrew props through his nose and sinuses inches from the group. The audience gets sprayed with water many times, and Ross wants to know where the nozzles are, which gives the episode its title. Tom and Dan both say they dislike the phrase "nightmare fuel." House reviews, part 2. Sinners (amazing and acted like a walk-through stage play; Tracy liked it least but got scared in it), the Pinhead meet-and-greet (Ross nearly knocked over the lighting rig), Hellraiser (Ross is a big Clive Barker fan; 10/10) and his overall favorite, the original house HR Blood and Guts, built around a 70s schlock filmmaker who escapes prison and introduces each room on TV, likely Mike Aiello's idea. They also note Jack the Clown is now a Fortnite skin. Ross ends with a plug for Moe's VIP program and promo code 10 at moecomedyjam.com. Comedy Jam time check. After the break they confirm the time. A few versions get floated before they land on doors at 5, show at 6. Feel-good videos and principals. Tom says he likes military homecoming surprise videos. Then he plays a clip of students faking a cafeteria fight to surprise their principal for his birthday. Tom says principals shouldn't be friends with students and recalls his feared high school principal, Dr. E. Daryl Dean. Other bits: Kristine and others in the chat question Tom's take, a Butler balloon callback, coaches as tough-but-loved figures, and Ross's annoyance at teachers memorizing custom handshakes for every student. AI photos. Ross's AI-edited celebrity fishing photo gets roasted (Ryan in the chat called him a "non-union Mexican stuntman"). Ross credits Tom for commenting "AI" under an old real photo of Tom in clown makeup at a gas station opening. Tom wore the makeup after losing a football bet with Brett Bourgie. Tesla flying car demo. A host saw listener Richard Heron share the Tesla Roadster video, first assumed Richard fell for AI, then learned it's real. The car drives up a vertical wall, drops off upside down and lands on thrusters, then barrel-rolls over a semi. The chat (Kristine, Cara, Krystal) is skeptical and critical of Elon Musk, and the hosts argue over vaporware versus future uses like preventing rollovers. Side references: the "human flight is a million years away" story from their Brad Meltzer interview, the four-minute mile and a German robot groping case. Wrap-up. Moe uses a Tom & Dan sound as his Tesla chime and tries to avoid driving himself as much as possible. A host is at 98.6% self-driving. Final plugs follow. Just before sign-off, the chat confirms the Tesla is a prototype that can't carry a person, and the host maintains it still really happened.
