It’s time for the spoken word to be matched with the appropriate fonts. Soon scripts will have different fonts depending on the character and their dialogue. And for our nemesis, the goons, there will be a goon family of fonts.

Tom and Scott are thankful they recorded this episode on Thanksgiving Day., which includes, for the first time ever on a podcast, a real time procrastination. Don’t put off listening to this until later.

Tom wonders how he will spend the many hours that he used to watch cable news, once Trump and the pandemic are over. We rule out ice fishing. And notice we spelled it fishing, not fishin’. People like us who don’t fish don’t drop the g.

We explain how the “refer a friend and you both save $50” promotion can lead to world peace, or at least a Hallmark movie. Plus, we come up with an award winning commercial for Pirate’s Booty.

Tom recalls the life changing advice of a waitress at a cafe he used to frequent in the Pacific Palisades. Scott has never had a place where everyone knew his name, but the fruit stand guy on the corner usually gives him five bananas for the price of four.

Scott takes the subway and NJ Transit train to see our friends Bill and George for the first time in eight and a half months, and dines deliciously on chicken cacciatore and other fine Italian specialties. What would Ponce de Leon think about Scott’s exploration?

Tom has always wanted to publish a local gossip sheet, Palisades Confidential about the Pacific Palisades. But he worries about the reaction from his neighbors.

Scott buys the Waterpik Flosser, and now he’ll have “healthier gums and brighter teeth in just one minute per day.” Plus, Paul Hornung,, Nellie Fox, and not gambling in AC and Vegas.

The word “motto” is rarely used these days so naturally we decided to talk about coming up with one for our show. We can’t use someone else’s motto, although Scott loves the one Langston Hughes wrote. “Dig, and be dug in return.”

Scott buys a flat HD antenna for $10, and is transported back to the past.. And Tom and Scott agree that they would never do a joke that caused a world war, or even a regional conflict.
