Tommy’s leisurely road trip through several cities from LA to NYC, is now a race against time as he must get to his niece’s graduation from Boise High School on May 27. Scott’s breakthrough travel planning prepares Tommy for various scenarios that can be turned into a major motion picture.

The best way for us to feel optimistic about the future is to have uplifting voiceover announcers speaking in the stentorian tones and cadence of a 1950’s travelogue. Plus, now that anyone can get a license to marry people, let’s do the same for bestowing doctorates.

Broadway is coming back and will be better than ever, even with its comically uncomfortable seating. But at least we don’t have to stand as they did in the days of the Old Globe Theatre. And let’s bring back the live entertainment from decades ago too, like vaudeville, supper clubs and burlesque.

Tommy prepares for his cross country journey, by borrowing a page from Kerouac’s On The Road. Fortunately it’s his own paperback copy, so no library fines will be assessed.

Dirt is fertile ground for a celebration of this unappreciated force of nature. Most people scorn dirt and criticize you for tracking it into the house. We exalt the many positive uses of dirt, and think that dirt shouldn’t be considered a dirty word.

We don’t regret jumping at the chance to get vaccinated as soon as we could. But perhaps, we early adopters can also receive the rewards and perks that the vaccine laggards are being offered.

We introduce the philosophy of “Resortism”, where every man, woman and child, regardless of income, is guaranteed 50 weeks a year at an all expenses paid, all inclusive luxury resort

We introduce “Which Is Better?”, a new game show that judges the merits of Florida vs. California, and other things you can compare, like apples and oranges.

A day at the beach gives Scott an even greater appreciation of Florida, as does the kindness and thoughtfulness of a waitress. Plus Tom and Scott create a screwball style 1960’s film with Scott impersonating a restaurant owner to impress a woman he sees at another table.

For the first time in our 370 episodes, one of us is on location as Scott reports live from Clearwater Beach. Tom thrills to Scott’s tales of flying on an airplane, and experiencing in person what we watched from afar on the news the past year. Plus, an exclusive investigation into the world of the “so-called expert”.
