We celebrate the wonder of laundry, in a podcast that actually talks about pods. It’s clean comedy at its best, as we imagine hosting the National Laundry Awards, which will be shot in black and white, with the heavy, jerky motions of giant 1950’s television cameras.

A Balmy Day in November could be the title of a 600 page book by a former Secretary of State, but it’s also a gift that delighted us yesterday in Manhattan. We make the guilt free point that you can enjoy an unexpectedly warm and sunny day in November, and still be an ally in the struggle against global warming. Tom’s suggestion to build outdoor cafes on 24 foot stilts may earn him an invitation to the next climate conference, and Scott plans to coach speakers at the conference on how to end their speech with a big applause line.

Limit, don’t eliminate, is our advice for losing weight in these stressful yet tempting times. Scott tells Tommy that eating one pain au raisin or chocolat a day is far preferable to ordering 14 in one sitting, which would also be unfair to other customers who wouldn’t be able to enjoy that sweet treat.

Scott creates a new hybrid shopping model by getting the best of both worlds, shopping online and in person to purchase a coveted AllBirds shoe at a reduced price. And the glee he experiences afterwards compels Tommy to suggest that they speak in front of large audiences in hotel conference centers to show others how to feel the same way.

As he walked down tony Park Avenue the other day, a doorman from a high end building said to Scott, “How are you, Sir” Did this greeting mean that the word has gotten out about Scott being The Great Pedestrian? Tom revisits his proposal for a gigantic statue honoring pedestrians that would span the East River. And we also bring back our plan for a Pedestrian Sidewalk that spans the country from New York to California.

Tom and Scott introduce “audio slides”, as they invite listeners into a 1970’s living room, but instead of watching slides of a trip, they are transported to places like Saratoga New York through the magic of listening to our conversation!

Tom and Scott solve most of the world’s problems over a fine lunch in an outdoor pavilion in the middle of famed Broadway. But they don’t actually remember any of the solutions they came up with. Which is fine with them, because had they feverishly written down all of their solutions, they wouldn’t have enjoyed their burger sandwiches and the entire magical lunch experience as much.

Tom’s new cantilevered book shelves, filled with fine, important works of literature and vintage magazines, could make the perfect background for Zoom punditry. Beyond the base rental price, you could upgrade to customized books, including ones you’ve written. A premium upgrade fee applies if you want The Power Broker by Robert Caro. in the shot.

Scott returns to the Laughing Liberally stage for the first time in three years, but he vows that the 22 shows will not stop him from completing his appointed rounds on our twice weekly podcast. Plus, a tribute to stone carvers, why investing in clipboards may not be such a good idea, and a new WPA poster, “If you don’t see something, don’t say anything “.

We create a global culinary concept of a restaurant featuring County Fair food, and once again ask for no remuneration, except for free bacon on a stick for life. Part of our overall vision which includes rezoning neighborhoods as exact replicas of streets from past eras, complete with period stores, restaurants, dress and prices.
