A brunch snafu and the way we handled it, shows how diplomacy in the face of bungled service, can pave the way for world peace. Plus, how something that amounts to a hill of beans is actually something to aspire to. Particularly, if it involves a variety of beans.

We rejoice that the outdoors is free, and we need not file a “walk plan”in advance for approval. Plus, we propose a “Dystopia” theme park, with dark, bleak rides. And Scott is relieved that he didn’t come up with the idea of the IPhone and podcast in sixth grade, and feels remorseful that he didn’t do anything with it.

Tom’s “stop the presses” story about how NYC tourists are in much better shape than those at Disneyworld inspires Scott to walk the copywriting tightrope to come up with a slogan expressing that theme without offending anyone. Plus, we delve into the overuse of the cliche “above my pay grade”.

Scott’s vivid word pictures of his Berkshires weekend inspires Tom to imagine sitting on the lawn at Tanglewood enjoying delicious chicken, and mouth watering German potato salad, but alas, the coleslaw has a bit too much mayonnaise. Plus, some tips on making more interesting land acknowledgments.

In a frank and frankly hilarious follow up to his prostate procedure episode, Tom details his very successful, but sometimes harrowing recovery. And we hope that intimate procedures like that will never be filmed for medical reality shows, and will instead be performed by Union actors in a reenactment show.

Tom and Scott join their pals at a Mets game, and banter hilariously without paying much attention to the game. Thankfully, they’re not asked to pitch, because they fear the ill fitting uniform and the derisive chants of the crowd if they bounce the ball to home plate.

There was a time when the weather report was lighthearted and strangers asked us, “Is it hot enough for ya?”Now we turn the grim reality of climate change into boffo laughs as we create a Retro Weather channel with weather reports from the 1960’s.

In an historic two for one episode, Scott buys and sets up a new laptop, which Tom says will earn him plaudits from the environmental movement, since it’s his first new computer in 12 years! Plus, after a months long hiatus, Scott picks up The Power Broker again, and moves three pages closer to finishing the compelling 1147 page tome.

While the thought of having our pets talk for a day sounds appealing, the same can’t be said if our bed suddenly started talking in the middle of the night. Plus, we upend the scriptwriting world by suggesting a writer write a review of their play or film, and design a poster and full page ad with other blurbs, before they write the actual script

We reveal that you don’t have to talk the talk to walk the walk. So that won’t keep us awake at night. Or in Scott’s case, prevent him from falling back to sleep an hour before his alarm goes off. Plus, we revisit The Great Pedestrian statue. Should it be the centerpiece of a giant pedestrian bridge, an environmentally sound project that might make Greta Thunberg become friends with Tom and Scott?
