Until then, you can hear about Tom's grandchildren's childhoods as they happen. If you write it all down you could pre-empt their books well ahead of time.

Our show attracts danger, apparently. Today we get a surprise call from Corey, who used to do controlled burns in Wisconsin. Just because they're controlled doesn't mean they're not hot enough to melt metal. That's why you carry around water. One or two bottles of Dasani ought to do it.

Cats are a paradox. They're one of the most lethal hunters out there, but they're also tiny and stupid. Just goes to show you that if you put enough blades on something, it becomes dangerous no matter what. Perhaps that's why Toast-Yays are being discontinued. Those things could shred the roof of your mouth. Or they would have if anybody actually ate them.

Imagine being a celiac Italian. No garlic bread. No pasta. No breaded whatevers. Impossible, right? Not any more. In fact, Anna has kind of made a career out of it. Turns out substitutes are a lot less crappy than they used to be. It's one of the few things where everyone can agree that the good old days were simply worse.

Costaki has returned from overseas where the NFL is nothing more than another Greek myth. Tim is back too after an extended hiatus. He wasn't in Greece though, as far as we know. He was probably like the rest of us: spending the entire time hopping from house to house visiting an unlimited number of people.
