Tom reconsiders his proposal for an immense statue of The Great Pedestrian, and instead suggests one carved out of a single proton. Scott applauds Tom’s decision not to do an electron sculpture, since he has just learned a proton is 1836 times larger. The bottom line is we can now be considered for a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

Can Scott trim his IPhone addiction so he can be free to solve the world’s problems? In the interim, Tom proposes a world where everyone lives in a gilded age mansion or equivalent apartment tower.

Hearing Tom’s vivid COVID’s -eye view of booming tourism in New York, leads Scott to create the expression, “A word is worth a thousand pictures.” As Tom deals with some lingering symptoms, he is thankful to live in a place where people come from around the world to visit.

While Tommy was experiencing the high and lows of his road trip to Florida and Savannah, and his subsequent Covid diagnosis, Scott saw four films and two plays for a total cost of $14.50! How did he do it and is this the new way to flight inflation? Plus, Scott uses an uncharacteristic word for him in an impassioned defense of the director at a q and a after one of those screenings.

Neither rain nor snow nor COVID can stop Tom from completing his appointed podcast rounds.

And who also comes up with a medical breakthrough that you can only discover on this podcast.

Tom fulfills a lifelong dream of visiting the architectural marvel that is Savannah. And we pioneer a new form of audio travelogue that lets you close your eyes and see the sights of the city without leaving your home. On the frontlines of the Senate runoff on Tuesday, Tom senses the mood of the electorate by having a fried chicken, bacon and waffles brunch.

This historic episode finds Tommy at the Magic Kingdom in Florida, telling tales of being in The Happiest Place on Earth. And actually being happy, unlike the tired parents with their kids, not rich enough to be on the pricey express line for the rides. Hearing this, Scott proclaims that there shall be one line for all, and a fast one at that. Will critics call that socialism?

In our ongoing mission to rid the world of bad cliches, we re-examine the annoying and failed “walk and chew gum at the same time”. And we question why the word “existential” has the opposite definition than it used to have.

The bevy of fine coffee places in Tom’s neighborhood makes Scott realize we don’t live in a totalitarian country where there’s only one coffee shop, State Coffee, and there’s only one kind of coffee on the menu, called Coffee.
