That Guy and The Kid

Did you miss us? We recorded this show back in September, clearly Max has been slacking on editing. Tom catches us up on the move; he actually bought a boat, mower and truck and is fitting in with the community like a glove. He’s got a new job as a chef at a private club and he has become somewhat of a mentor to his co workers. Tom gets into the major differences between the south and California, most notably the fact that the south produces things people actually need which leads into Max and Tom talking about a demolition derby they visited where there wasn’t a mask in sight. They mention the drought in Santa Barbara and the staggering amount of water in the Carolinas. Tom talks about a Nascar race he saw at Darlington Raceway. They then get into covid for a while, because what else is there to talk about, and eventually politics. Lastly Max mentions the trip he took from North Carolina to New Hampshire. This is That Guy And The Kid - Ep 10.

Tom and Max open the show talking about how the recent heat wave is like Santa Barbara taunting him now that he’s leaving. We then talk about the struggling businesses during this pandemic and how China is putting people in camps who have covid. Tom is a couple weeks out from heading East and he gives us an update on how that's going. We then give some more updates about the Capitol raid that happened the week prior which leads into a discussion about the petition to remove Trump from Home Alone 2. This leads into a conversation about streaming content in general and specifically the Netflix show, Cobra Kai. We talk an article about how Cobra Kai isn’t woke enough for the new age. This moves back into a discussion about China and whether America is on the verge of a war with them. Then we talk about cold weather vs hot weather and how people in hotter climates seem to have it easier. Tom talks about the buyer of his home who happens to be the son of a pretty legendary bartender in town. He then talks about what used to be Santa Barbara’s most popular bar Joe’s and how insanely packed it always was. We then banter about the driving do’s and don’t’s for a while. Everything from when to not pass people to what to do when someone is tailgating you. Tom then talks about the single cab F 150 we plans to get in North Carolina as well as some other plans for when he heads over there. Lastly we tease next week’s episode and a special guest we have planned. This is That Guy and the Kid - Ep 08. Go follow us on instagram: @ThatGuyAndTheKid

We’re back! Happy New Year everyone. Tom and Max start by talking about the new COVID vaccines and which logo would look best as a tattoo. They then talk about Tom’s plan to move to the east coast in which Tom makes quite a good case for leaving California. This moves into a discussion about the future of That Guy and The Kid and how we will continue the show remotely. This of course takes us into a conversation about COVID, because so does everything these days, and how poorly essential workers seem to be treated by anti maskers. They then discuss the seemingly pointless right wing raid on the Capitol Building and how it didn’t really accomplish anything . This goes into a discussion about the education system and how COVID has ruined that too. We get a little stoned and start drifting by the end and talk a bit more about Tom’s big move and the major differences between the East Coast and California. This is That Guy and The Kid Ep - 07.

Tom on Rachel Ray  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeo9G_pwZ5U Tom starts by talking about his appearance on $40 a Day with Rachel Ray which leads him to talk about his past experience in the restaurant business and culinarily school. The guys then talk about how rent in Santa Barbara has doubled and wages have only gone up around 50% which leads into a conversation about how people don’t have as many kids these days as they used to so they can save money. This moves into a discussion about long term tasks vs short and which ones we excel at more. We then talk about Thanksgiving and whether or not it should be a day of “mourning.” We then discuss some news and things that Tom feels should be reported on more like car bombings in the Middle East. We then plunge into a talk about the Tyson Exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr and our thoughts on it. The guys then spark a joint and talk about how the whole exhibition event was consumed by weed. They then talk about how big athletes like Mike Tyson and Michael Jordan aren’t really a thing anymore so we keep bringing back the old guys. Max brings up the wings he bought for the fight which makes us go on a long tangent about chicken in general and why the wings I bought for the show aren't really "wings."

We’re back with two back to back episodes! First off, we discuss the election and the possibility of a civil war if Trump manages to overturn the results. They then discuss whether city people need country people more or vise versa. This then moves into a discussion on how the older generation is held to a higher standard of rules than millennials. This moves into talking about the supposed 90% effective vaccine and who will get the credit for it. They then talk about China and the possible threat that they pose to the rest of the world which leads into the guys hashing out the pitfalls and possible benefits of government overreach and things that Tom believes slow down the economy and productivity. Lastly the guys talk about Ubers vs cabs and how the free market is the one pushing this trend forward. This is That Guy and The Kid Episode 04

This one we ended up cutting short because we ain't beholden to anyone. We start things off by talking about the death of the great Eddie Van Halen. (Again, on top of the newest news as always.) This leads into a discussion about the different types of classic rock in general and the crowds that listened to them in the seventies. This leads into a discussion about Surfer Magazine coming to its untimely end. Tom reminises a story about a confrontation he had with another surfer which ended up in Surfer Magazine believe it or not. We then very briefly discuss the vice presidential debate. After that the guys talk baseball and youth sports in general. Tom then mentions how he used to play water polo in high school and he brags about some records he broke. He then talks about being a professional chef and we discuss some cooking tips for when you are trying to impress a date. We then converse about San Francisco and how it has changed since Tom lived there. This leads into a talk about globalization as a whole and whether outsourcing jobs to other nations helps the American economy. Lastly we talk about the coin shortage and possible solutions to the problem. This is That Guy and the Kid Episode 03

Tom and Max start things off by talking about the ugly nightmare that was the first debate. (We are super up to date as always.) We then talk about how the landscape of weed and drugs in general has changed between Tom’s generation and Max’s. They also talk the pitfalls of smoking pot and whether or not legalization was a good thing. We then discuss how music has changed and how kids today don't seem to pay for music, or almost anything for that matter, anymore. The conversation then moves into news as a whole and how the activists writing newspapers like the LA Times aren’t really the same people reading those papers. Tom then talks his standup and old guy schtick he's perfected, which is currently on hold for the pandemic. We finish things off by talking about how people take things like running water and electricity for granted. This is That Guy and The Kid Episode 02.
