Episode 333 was the silly look at going to a reunion. This is the serious one. After a day and a half of reuniting with friends at Quinnipiac University's Bobcat Weekend, Tom is emotional on the drive home. Why do people go to reunions? Did Tom see anyone he wanted to see? At the end of the day, Tom thinks people go to reunions to feel like they mattered. Did he?

Tom Kelly attends his college reunion.  He’s single.  He thinks the single women at his reunion will be “left overs” while he being single is a “unicorn”.  Listen to two friends and an Uber driver dispel him of that notion.  Plus other fun banter on . . . . The Tom Kelly Show

Should Columbus Day remain a holiday? Is there a need for an Indigenous People's Day? Is there a way to keep the best parts of Columbus Day while recognizing the horrors caused by colonization? Tom has the solution!

After a month of promotion, a man had a heart attack during Tom’s show at Governor’s Comedy Club sells out. See actual behind the scenes footage of the moment, the response, and how we transitioned back to fun once the man turned out to be ok. Video users: This is the highest production values I’ve ever had on a podcast

For the regular Tom Kelly Show fans, this is lazy as far as content but I want your opinions on the sound. - I'm shooting with an iPhone 13 Pro Max, a DJI wireless mic. I'm using a OSMO 6 Gimbal. I found the weight of the DJI Mic transmitter throws the balance off the Gimbal.

"We sit down with talented Nicole Eggert, whose name you might recognize from iconic TV shows like 'Baywatch' and 'Charles in Charge.' We dive into the fascinating journey of her career — from her very first gig in a Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo commercial to becoming a household name on two seasons on Baywatch. Nicole opens up about why she walked away from acting, including her adventure as an ice cream truck owner and how embracing motherhood has redefined her priorities and perspective. We also explore her new documentary that takes a nostalgic look back at 'Baywatch,' and like many of us, including host Tom Kelly, Nicole shares her thoughts on navigating what comes next in life.
