Scott pays homage to CBS Sunday Morning with his ode to a tranquil Sunday morning. Tom makes a fateful bagel decision. And we name drop Charles Kuralt, Charles Osgood, Bosley Crowther and more.

We offer an alternative to the anger and stress inducing effects of watching cable news all day: Buying digital subscriptions to local newspapers like the Desert Sun or the Berkshire Eagle. Reading the often relaxing local news stories will help support local journalism and add years to your life.

We relive the thrill of getting the TV Guide Fall Preview Issue in our teen years, and excitedly planning our television viewing schedule. Because in those days your show was on only once at a designated time each week.

We’re going bananas figuring out how to keep bananas ripe. And why bananas are singled out as being crazy, while other fruits like apples and peaches are referred to in positive ways. And we verbally shuck and/or husk corn, too

Scott previously revealed that he fears running for office because he will he asked what books are on his nightstand. And he doesn’t have a nightstand. Now in a stunning new revelation, Scott says that he hasn’t finished a book in a few years. Tom tries to change that in a way that will bring a tear to your eye.

Because we do a new podcast every single day, we spare ourselves the drudgery of commuting. And even more importantly, we avoid the mundane act of talking about how bad our commute was.

We recall the pre SPF days of using reflectors to catch the sun, and the mysterious men on Brighton Beach carrying brown paper bags, selling and yelling “Hot knishes, cold orange drinks.”

Today’s show is an audio version of the Sunday New York Times, with sections on a range of topics from many time periods. We think obscure references are merely something that hasn’t been learned yet.

Tom rustles up some grub by creating a carb free hot dog salad. Which inevitably leads to an appraisal of baseball without crowds. Scott watched the Mets opening day game and after a few minutes, he didn’t even notice the absence of people in the stands.

On our very special “Play Ball” edition, we welcome the return of baseball with no one in the stands, which doesn’t detract from our enjoyment of the game. Baseball fans are normally only noisy hall of the game anyway, when the home team does something they like.
