The Complete Guide to Everything

As the swingers in the famous movie The Swingers said, "Las Vegas, baby!" That's what we're talking about this week because Tom went to Vegas and has bravely decided to break the law and disclose what happened there. And what happened in Vegas? Well, Tom had a terrible time. On an unrelated note, Tim went to a taping of his favorite TV show (not in Las Vegas) and had the best time. Thanks to our s...

Red Dead Redemption 2. The third Red Dead game, and the prequel to Red Dead Redemption 1. Confusing? Yes. That’s why you need to listen to this episode. Basically it’s an incredibly popular game where you get to pretend you’re a cowboy and become good friends with a horse which you can name yourself. There’s also baths. This week’s episode is sponsored by The Great Courses. Grab a digital copy of...

As we conclude Halloween Month, we take a look at the original scary dude, Dracula. And even though you think doing research on Dracula would be fun and spooky, we learned the hard way that the original source material that introduces this guy who is undead, sucks blood and can turn into a bat and a wolf-thing, is actually kinda boring. Tom read Bram Stoker's original book and Tim watched the 1931...

Halloween Month continues to bring thrills and chills, and this week we’re leaning heavily on the thrills part. Tim and Tom go to Six Flags: Great Adventure to experience the best of both at Fright Fest.

This week’s episode is spo...

Halloween Month continues this week with a look at one of history's greatest monsters, Frankenstein. "But Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster," you say, trying to be clever. Well guess what, pal? We were talking about the doctor. You see, the doctor IS the monster because he created a monster. The monster he created? Frankenstein. Anyway, Tom read the classic book and Tim watched the class...

Tipping. Gratuity. A means to show “gratitude” through the universal language of cold, hard cash. This week we’re talking all about tipping. How to do it. When to do it. Why to do it.

Also we solve a listener problem from a guy who doesn’t want to run into his land owner and his wife in the kitchen every 15 minutes....

The Predator is a vicious alien that hunts people for sport and that Tom loves talking about. This week we discuss the Predator franchise, but mostly about the first classic movie full of all your favorite musclebound hunks.

Macrowaves? NO! Microwaves! They’re a type of wave that can kinda cook food or make it hot at least and they’re what we’re talking about this week.

If you thought we covered everything there was to know about Netflix on last week's episode, you're dead wrong. (Mostly because we just talked about Blockbuster Video for the most part.) This week we're talking more about Netflix, specifically their millions and millions of original series. Also, Tom is dealing with a serious refrigerator issue. This episode is sponsored by Squarespace. Head to sq...

We’re talking Netflix baby! Actually we talk a lot about Blockbuster video too, but Blockbuster can’t compete with the newest idea: DVDs in the mail! They’ve also got this crazy idea about streaming video that might just be wacky enough to work. Also we solve a problem about a nuisance cousin following a listener around the world.

We bet you think salads are just boring bowls of lettuce and other stuff you'd never want to eat under normal circumstances. And guess what? You're wrong. Well, half wrong. This week we're talking about all the different types of salad out there and some of the salads we discuss may shock you. Also, Tim has the summertime blues and we talk about Tom's diving prowess. Come see us at the London Podc...

This week we’re talking all about walking… FAST that is. That’s right: running. You’ve heard about it, you’ve thought about it, you’ve maybe even seen other people doing it and thought: hey, that looks like fun but where would I even start? Here. Here is where you would start. Along with running, we also talk about the Lockhorns, Tim never having had the wind knocked out of him and we answer a que...

Is Tom Cruise the world's greatest movie star? You bet your butt he is, and this week we're talking about his movies, his magnetic personality and his crazy ride on that glamorous roller coaster we call Tinseltown (Hollywood, California). We also talk about whether Cameron Diaz is retired, question whether Katie Holmes speaks in Stevie Wonder lyrics and finally address Tim Robbins' height.

Imagine going to a place to drink and instead being bombarded with questions. Welcome to the world of Bar Trivia, aka Pub Quizzes.

Security breach! Security breach! Haha, just kidding! This week we're talking all about how to keep things secure. Look, we both had different ideas about what the topic "Security" would entail, but in the end this is mostly just us arguing about a machine that hard boils eggs.
