The Complete Guide to Everything

This week Tom's back from Ireland and ready to talk about even more summer movies!

Experienced problem solvers Tim and Tom are at it again this week, guiding you through your most serious quandaries. We help people with their problems relating to the Property Brothers, tattoos and rude people in new towns. To be honest, it just feels so good to give back. Also, Tom talks about his brother's wedding and Tim explains what your favorite teen star from the 90s is up to.

We heard the news that Prince passed away shortly before we recorded this week's episode, so this week we talked about Prince and how cool he was. Also, in a followup to last week's Oculus Rift episode, Tom explains how he is transitioning to living in cyberspace full-time.

This week, Tom explains everything about the Oculus Rift, the newly-released virtual reality headset that he recently purchased, in what will likely be his last episode ever before going to live full time in cyberspace. Also, Tim has a series of misadventures at a rock concert and we talk a little more about last week's topic of Tiny Houses.

Spread the word: tiny houses aren’t just for people who can’t afford big houses anymore! This week we’re talking about the minimalist movement sweeping the nation. Want to build your own tiny house and then go live in the woods all alone? Then you’ve come to the right place. Also, we solve a listener problem concerning a yawning co-worker/roommate. Today’s sponsor is Casper Mattresses - obsessivel...

Pretty soon every item in your home will be connected to the internet and everything you need will happen automatically. At least, that's what all the nerds who are buying internet-connected refrigerators are saying. Anyway, this week we talk about the Internet of Things, Tom's obsession with having a "connected home" and we speak with a very special robot guest. Also, Tim's cab driver has a run-i...

Movies Movies Movies! Like we always say: hooray for Hollywood! This week, Tim and Tom take Tinseltown as we preview this summer's hottest blockbusters. (Actually, in this episode we mostly talk about movies coming out in April and May.) But the main event is Tom's complex reaction to the new Batman v Superman movie, which was not very good. We also solve a problem from a listener who needs to tra...

This week we're taking a break... a SPRING BREAK that is! We're talking about all the hot spot destinations for spring break like Florida! Also this week we solve a lister problem concerning a mouse but not from a mouse. Today’s sponsor is Casper Mattresses - obsessively engineered American-made mattresses at a shockingly fair price. And now, you can get $50 toward any mattress purchase by going t...

Blast off with your best buds Tim and Tom as we talk about civilian space travel. That's right, some billionaires are trying to make it possible for schlubs like us to go to space, which seems like a really bad idea. We also talk about public drinking laws in New York City, going to the movies with teenagers and we solve a problem from a guy whose roommate hasn't showered in weeks. Audible.com is...

Popcorn, get your fresh popcorn! This week we're talking all about the treat that's a treat to eat: popcorn. How does corn turn into popcorn? What are the different ways to make popcorn? Why doesn't Tim like popcorn? All of these questions and more are answered on this week's episode. Audible.com is offering a free 30 day trial membership! Go to audiblepodcast.com/everything today to start your fr...

This week, we have a brand new installment in our TCGTE Myths and Legends series. We talk about the infamous goat sucker, the chupacabra and uncover some truly alarming facts. Also, Tim has some stories about riding the bus and we solve problems from a lady looking for love and a child politician.

Bagels, bagels, bagels. This week we’re talking about the ol’ bready treat known as bagels. Toasted, untested, cream cheese, butter, New York-style, Montreal-style, we don’t shy away from any bagel-related topic. Also this week Tim discusses his trip to the magical Build Your Own Burger McDonalds that Tom visited a few weeks ago as well as his Valentine’s Day run-in with Rainbow Bagels. Also this...

Ever wonder what the tiny, child-versions of Tim & Tom wanted to be when they grew up? What were our hopes and our dreams? The answers may shock you. Also, Burger King announces it'll serve hot dogs, Tom has a question about the Super Bowl and we solve a problem about old love letters.

This week Tim and Tom are talking Groceries, something that neither of them thought to shop for until very recently. We're talking fruits, we're talking vegetables, are we talking meats? You're damn right we're talking meats. No stone is left unturned. Also this week we solve a listener's problem concerning how to make an acquaintance into a friend without being a real weirdo about it.

Questions about branding? You've come to the right place. This week we're talking about rebranding efforts: Radio Shack, Pizza Hut, Dr. Pepper and a bunch of other brands have switched things up in a misguided attempt to appeal to young folks, and all of them paid a terrible price for doing so. Can we rebrand The Complete Guide to Everything to appeal to a new, hip audience? But first, Tom takes a...

There's a blizzard a-comin'! As we prepare for the biggest snow storm to hit NYC in decades, we're talking all things snow: childhood memories, panicked rushes on the supermarkets for bread and milk, and building disappointing snowmen. We also come up with a foolproof plan to avoid snowstorms altogether in the future. And in a new installment of Tim and Tom Solve Your Problems, we help out a chef...

This week we’re talkin’ glasses. It turns out they’re not just for nerds anymore because now Tom needs them too. Mostly this is just an episode where Tom complains, first about the Post Office, then about the process of getting an eye exam and buying glasses. Also, Tim answers a lot of Tom’s burning questions about the ins and outs of glasses ownership. Then at the very end we talk about how every...

This week we're hittin' the tanks! We took a field trip to a new age-y place to get into sensory deprivation tanks. Was it fun? Did Tim lose his mind forever? Did Tom travel through the cosmos and discover the meaning of life? Listen and find out what we learned by lying down naked in some salt water in the dark for an hour.

Our old buddy and acclaimed music guy Dan Deacon stops by to ring in 2016 and talk about ska music, Santa Claus and a bunch of weird stuff with us. We also solve a couple listener problems in a special edition of Tim & Tom & Dan Solve Your Problems.

For the last episode of 2015, we talk about chocolate, the only food that Tom eats without complaining. We discuss the Mast Brothers controversy in detail and consistently mispronounce the word cacao. Also, Tim has a heartwarming holiday encounter in a pizza place.

We've had to skip solving problems for the past few weeks so this week we're doing nothing but (solving problems that is.)

The Mail's here! Ha ha, just kidding, but we are talking about it this week. Soon you'll be able to look at pictures of your mail before you get it and maybe even do your banking at the post office. Plus Tim has some ideas about how the mail can be improved.

This week we talk about that thing people in suits do with a microphone in front of a brick wall: stand-up comedy. Things get a little heated when we go through a strange list of best-ever comedians from 2005. Also, Tom tries to start a feud with an actor that nobody has ever heard of.

Another thrilling installment of Tom Explaining Something Nerdy to Tim! This week we’re talking about Role Playing Games, or RPGs, something Tom barely understands himself. We’re talking all about everything from Dungeons and Dragons to Fallout 4. We also solve a problem with how to deal with an acquaintance who is also a jerk. A jerkquaintance, if you will. Socks and underwear use to be a boring...

Public Relations is a hard job. This week we talk about the PR efforts behind a new TV show (Tom was invited to a fancy premiere party), Adele’s new album and Justin Beaver: The Dancing Boy. We also solve a problem that is super ridiculous. HEY NEW YORK! Come to our live Holiday Spectacular at Union Hall in Brooklyn on December 4th. Get tickets at tcgte.com/live.
