TOM RETURNS TO THE SCENE OF THE CRIME There was no new podcast on January 9th. That's because, on January 8th, Tom had to bring his pickup from the ranch in Northern Santa Barbara County to Burbank to begin collecting his gear, numerous possessions, and many memories of six-and-a-half amazing years. What was that like? Who was there? How did it feel to be back? How does Tom feel knowing that he's giving the keys back in just a few weeks? It's all right here.
DEAD POOL 2019 you asked for it and here it is! Which celebrities will drop dead in 2019? Many of our listeners responded and Tom has a list all his own. Play along with your friends, family, or co-workers! Have everyone make a list of ten celebrities. Then, as each one dies, players get 100 points minus the age of the victim for each right guess. Whoever has the most points at the end of the year is the winner!
