As Co-Mayor of Irving Place with Tommy, Scott proclaims the State of our Street to be strong. And Tom encourages Scott to pursue his non legal career as a lawyer without a law degree who nonetheless defends both of them from those who seek to take their self appointed, unelected roles away.

If anyone who is jealous of the 143 times we deserved a Nobel Prize with this podcast, and decides to file articles of impeachment against us in our roles as self appointed, unelected Co-Mayors of Irving Place, we have a simple legal strategy that you don’t even have to be a Yale lawyer to use. Although you can wear a Yale sweatshirt to court anyway.

Scott is complimented on his outerwear by two different employees at Trader Joe’s, a place that should be the role model for the world. Tom thinks that supermarket self checkout machines should talk to you and engage in casual banter.

We don’t just talk about how time seems to be flying by, we try to do something about it. And we don’t do it on the shoulders of those dreamers who came before us. But a cheerleader definitely should be able to say that she won an award on the shoulders of Greg.

In a shocking admission, Tom reveals that he routinely ignores requests to update apps online. Scott, on the other hand, earnestly clicks the Update box immediately, so he doesn’t miss out on anything. Can he influence Tom and other folks who choose not to update? No such updates required to listen to this episode.

When Scott proposes an idea to make the temperature in NYC always range from 60 to 90 degrees, Tom suggests that Scott introduce the idea at Davos. But he cautions that the rapturous ovation Scott will ultimately receive will be preceded by an uncomfortable hour punctuated by one slow clap every few minutes.

Tom drives back in time when he visits the grand old architecture of Richmond and Charleston. Then he’s back to the present when he stays at a DC hotel called the Sslamander. Scott’s intrepid research reveals that most salamanders look like a cross between a lizard and a frog. Which explains why a hotel would want to be named after them.

Tom worries that he will be chastised for “double bucket listing”, but Scott assures him, in his role as a “podcast only” lawyer, that since bucket law is nonexistent, there are no grounds for him to suffer any consequences for his bucket list wish of traveling from chilly temperatures to a balmy climate in Charleston, after already doing so in Savannah.

Now that Scott is going to bed and waking up early, does that make him 50 percent qualified to be a farmer? Tom is also an early riser these days but fears he won’t be effective feeding slop to the pigs.

Tom proposes another in our long line of inventions- this time it’s inflatable pants. Should he invest all of his assets into this idea even though no prototype exists? One thing we know for certain, on a different front, is that eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches make you feel and appear younger, which is why Scott suggests a Biden commercial showing him enjoying a PB&J with Jill.
