Sometimes the best way of getting through this sad time, is to be thankful for the bad things that aren’t happening. Nobody is forcing you to walk on stilts, or to go on a ski lift, which is particularly terrifying to Tom and Scott.

Tom and Scott welcome audio only communication, as Scott’s hair approaches a length not seen since 1976. And while Tom yearns to stick his neck out with confidence, he balks at attempting cosmetic surgery on himself.

It’s the unofficial start of summer, and even in these times, we should look for ways to have fun this weekend, even though Memorial Day is not the happiest name for a celebratory holiday.

Is slow, somber piano music what we need in commercials during these challenging times? And we discuss the euphemisms for the pandemic, like “in these challenging times”, and suggest even more apropos ones. And more euphemistic euphemisms too.

Butter Churns are making a comeback as a frontier hobby, although if you ask butter churns they would say,”What comeback? I never left.” Also Tom and Scott give discussing the value of college the old college try. And a look at the often used and time wasting expression, “In my view”.

Tom and Scott envision a future where our country is run by scientists, economists, historians and other scholarly experts with a figurehead President with only ceremonial powers. And that future would start tomorrow..

Tom and Scott balance their outrage at those who bungled the US response to the pandemic, with seeking comfort by watching episodes of the 1970’s show The Midnight Special and deriving pleasure from the romantic sounds of Miss Gladys Knight and the Pips
