Our producer, Andy, is Tom’s son. He’ll be the one Googling things during the show and probably chatting with you in our chat room. Also appearing regularly will be Kathryn and Alex, Tom’s wife and daughter respectively and podcast regulars since the very beginning.
Steve Windels and Nate Hood are the degree-holders of comedy
(Part 4)You probably remember Steve. You know, the beaver doctor? Yeah, him. He did his Doctors of Comedy show a few months ago, and now he's doing another. Joining him is Nate, who is not a doctor of anything, but he does have a masters. That makes him a Master of Comedy. Personally, I think that sounds a lot cooler.For more information about the Doctors of Comedy tour, check out https://www.doctorsofcomedy.com/!

Wicker is not for internal use
(Part 3)Halloween is the season for scary things. But scary doesn't have to mean werewolves and vampires. It can mean whatever could possess someone to make something like Wicker. Wildwood is a more traditionally Halloween-esque movie, but apparently it's not doing so great. Maybe because it looks like a movie for 8 year olds but, according to Tim, it is not. Kind of like Clayface. Maybe don't bring your kids to see anything we talk about today.

Patrick Stewart, dancing, and trees
(Part 2)Patrick Stewart died just a few days ago. Whether you knew him as Professor X, Jean-Luc Picard, or that gay guy in Frasier, he was probably in something you liked. I don't think he was ever in Dancing With the Stars, though. He also never grew a Christmas tree for Rockefeller Center. So much life left to live, that one.

This episode does not constitute medical advice
(Part1) Alex is dressed as a doctor (not a nurse), so we take the opportunity to diagnose Jude's numerous medical issues and talk about the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Apparently it employs like 20% of the entire city's population. We also talk a little about Xavier Riddle. Can you guess why?

Al Isaacs is back, and has a whole half hour this time
(Part 3)Remember Al? The guy who learned he was adopted in his 50s? He was on not very long ago, nor did he have very long on the show. Today we rectify that.

The good old days of more than one camera
(Part 2)Single cam has been dominating for over 20 years. Audiences just expect film-like quality from their TV shows these days. Shows with massive budgets like Stranger Things, Loki, and Andor certainly haven't helped make low budget shows look better in comparison. But are people getting sick of it? Could the age of pulp return? Kristyn hopes so.

Adamantium claws are checked, not carry-on
(Part 1)When you're bringing home your brass knuckles with giant blades welded to them, make sure TSA knows about them. Otherwise they might find them alarming, for whatever reason. We didn't ask Mike Bryant what the legal ramifications of trying to sneak such an item onto a plane could be, but we can guess that they're probably not great.

The winningest and the losingest
(Part 4)Now that the Vikings are 6-0, we're the last undefeated team. This basically guarantees us a place in the playoffs. After that? Who knows. Our "oops all field goals" strategy seems to be working well. Maybe it's the new thing. Or maybe everyone else is just injured so the Vikings are basically bullying hospital patients.

Ed Driscoll knows Louie too
(Part 3)Ed may be an Emmy-winning writer, producer and author, but there's something even more important about him: he was also friends with Louie Anderson. Once we learned that we may or may not have spent a good ten minutes talking about him instead of Ed's books, which you can find at https://www.eddriscollcomedy.com/.This guest was booked using PodMatch! Interested in being a guest on the show? Sign up for PodMatch at https://www.joinpodmatch.com/completedisaster and get in touch!
