Tom and Scott reflect on the mirror, as part of our continuing look at under appreciated products. And to be clear, we receive no financial support from the mirror lobbying Industry.

Tom’s barber is open for business in Los Angeles, but despite their fun conversations, Tom is uneasy about going back. Scott will have to wait at least another three weeks to get a haircut in New York, and his hair now looks the way it did in his 1976 college graduation photo.

We time travel to the 1964 World’s Fair to trace the evolution of the primitive and exorbitantly expensive black and white Picture Phone of 1964 to the basically free but annoying to some, Zoom of today.

Since Tom and Scott are still following stay at home orders in LA and Brooklyn, they think now would be the best time for elective surgery since they could recover at home when they have to stay home anyway. And they imagine a world where the scariest thing we had to worry about was poison ivy.

Tom and Scott have the cure for thinking you have something when you really don’t. Plus a look at parenting during a pandemic from the perspective of not being parents.

Why would anyone risk their life and the lives of others by practically being on top of each other at a water park? If you’re going to take a risk, at least see something memorable like an opera at The Met or a Broadway show.

Tom and Scott sing our praises for the printed newspaper, discuss the current flight of people from the cities to the suburbs, and look at Woodrow Wilson and the 1918 flu pandemic,

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.
