Tom and Scott continue to champion the truly essential workers who deliver our food and packages, and allow us to purchase food at supermarkets and restaurants. And who provide assistance at stores. They are far more necessary than hedge fund managers and should be paid accordingly.

If only there was a Tom and Scott to help people in 1918 get through the Spanish Flu. There were no podcasts then, only wax cylinders that would have had to be shipped to each listener.

Maureen McGovern was right. There’s got to be The Morning After. Tom and Scott made it through the rain, and celebrate the bright blue, sunny skies ahead after a difficult night for so many in New York, New Jersey and the region. The power of the storm makes us pine for the more benign weather event, snow.

Tom and Scott continue their groundbreaking “Catskills/NYC Conversations”, as they discuss the lack of ticks and snakes in the city compared to the “country”. The Catskills are magnificent, but NYC has the Beauty Without The Beasts.

For those of you who were not child prodigies, rejoice in all the things you didn’t miss. Like childhood. In our occasional role as howlingly funny motivational TED talk-like speakers, we show you that being a senior prodigy is even better and more satisfying.

Scott goes to the NYC Homecoming Concert in Central Park, 14 hours after it ended, wearing his Marmot “surrender” jacket, that offers little resistance to the rain. But he still enjoys being a “day after” person, as Tom and Scott were when they walked around the Kodak Theater the day after the 2018 Academy Awards.

Tom and Scott spend three days in the Catskills, and marvel that the mountains never close or have scaffolding, and that you can keep your window open in your room at a Victorian inn, because you’re underneath the large wraparound porch. Plus, we speculatively uncover the lost Underwater Catskills from two million years ago, where they still played shuffleboard.

Scott goes back to a movie theater for the first time since March 2020 and wonders if the Welcome Back on the marquee is specifically directed at him. Plus, our idea for introducing the jaunty stroll competition in the Olympics, with compulsory steps and the always exciting freestyle walk. And finally, we take on the grammar establishment in an unprecedented way.

It’s a day in the life of Tom and Scott, which starts with a disappointing museum visit. Instead of sitting on the curb, and wailing “Boo Hoo!”, they pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and embark on a high seas adventure. And in doing so, they “discover” a new island!

Tom faces an ethical dilemma. Sneak into the trailer of Reporter 1 on a local film shoot, and possibly win an Oscar, or simply walk on by and earn the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Scott thinks that award should be competitive, with ads in trade publications.
