A Corporate Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: "Best Of the Week — August 17–21" Hosts: Tom and Dan | Guest: Ross McCoy, John Graham, Billy (Claremont Knights), Marlon Wayans (via Zoom) Sponsors / Ad Reads Central Homes Roofing — Family-owned Orlando roofer of 30+ years, voted #1 roofer three years running by Orlando Weekly. Free inspections/estimates, hurricane warranties, in-house (non-1099) crews, will handle small repairs other roofers skip, 4.8-star Google rating, same-day estimates, and $500 off a re-roof for Tom and Dan listeners (centralhomesroofing.com). Core Flooring — Sponsor of the Weird Job Wednesday segment; contact Corey at Core Flooring in Winter Park for flooring work. Segment Rundown Cold open: Snack Scout naming bit — Tom and Dan welcome in-studio comedian Ross McCoy and John Graham (thatguyontv.com) for the monthly food segment, riffing on rebranding John's recurring "garbage food" bit (Snack Scout, Commissioner of Junk Food, Garbage Man) before diving into product tastings. 7 Up's secret reformulation — John reveals 7 Up is quietly changing its formula (not just adding a flavor) and flipping "lemon lime" to "lime lemon" on cans, sparking nostalgia about the "7 Up Yours" campaign, the Spot mascot's Sega Genesis game, and childhood freebies like McDonald's records and Domino's Noid toys. Protein Pop-Tarts and cup noodle taste test — Dan trashes protein Pop-Tarts his wife bought; the group samples Texas Barbecue and Kansas City Barbecue cup noodles, arguing Texas vs. Carolina-style barbecue, sodium/fat content, and confusing FDA daily-value percentage labeling. Pork brains and gas station oddities — Tangent on canned pork brains in milk gravy sold at Kentucky/Indiana convenience stores, its sky-high cholesterol content, and old 7-Eleven chili-cheese cup-noodle toppings. Tombstone gluten-free potato-crust pizza — The crew tries a Tombstone loaded bacon cheddar pizza with a potato-starch gluten-free crust, spinning into a debate about how many people falsely claim gluten intolerance versus real conditions like Crohn's, plus stories of self-diagnosed sensitivities that turned out to be lifestyle-related (alcohol, shellfish). Papa John's "garlic flavored sauce" gotcha — Ross spots the fine print on a grocery-store Papa John's garlic dipping sauce revealing it's "garlic flavored," not real garlic, printed nearly invisibly on the label; leads into margarine vs. butter and the "ultra-processed food" trend, including Dan's story of overdoing it on Slim Jims as a kid. Coors Light Cheez-Its taste test — A Target-exclusive Coors Light beer-cheese Cheez-It is sampled; talk turns to favorite Cheez-It varieties (white cheddar, with burned/"extra toasty" as the house favorite) versus Goldfish, and kids outgrowing "baby food" snacks like Goldfish and Uncrustables. Homemade Caesar salad lunches — Ross describes his daughter's daily self-made Cardini's Caesar salad lunch ritual and her brand loyalty, which detours into a chat about Worcestershire sauce containing anchovies. Chips Ahoy mystery-flavor contest — The group tastes a soft-baked "mystery flavor" Chips Ahoy tied to a $25,000 guessing contest, guessing vanilla/maple/birthday cake, and debates soft-baked vs. crispy cookies and whether the campaign will flop. Peach Moon Pies and "location foods" — Peach mini Moon Pies are taste-tested, leading to a debate about foods that only belong in specific settings (s'mores only while camping, hot dogs only at cookouts, peanuts/sunflower seeds only at ballgames or while driving). Ultra-processed rebranding and vegan pranks — Talk of brands (Kellogg's dropping dyes, Utz's "three ingredients" marketing) trying to seem less processed, plus a story about a vegan family member's protein powder that turns out to just be ground peanuts. Tootsie Pop flavor-swap taste test — The crew tries new fruit-filled Tootsie Pops (blue raspberry/cherry, strawberry/lemon, green apple/watermelon), jokes about why they weren't renamed "Gordon Pops" after the family that owns them (versus the Reese family drama), and a tangent on the trucking-industry origin of the word "Gaylord" for pallet boxes. Hard candy nostalgia — Discussion of why older generations favor hard candy (fading taste buds craving sweet/salty extremes), fond memories of the "crunchy center" moment on Tootsie Pops and Blow Pops, and whether candy left out ever truly spoils. Segment wrap and plugs — John plugs thatguyontv.com and workshops a new nickname (Snack Hunter); a riff on graham crackers' inventor Sylvester Graham believing they cured alcoholism and "chronic masturbation"; plug for the Moe Comedy Jam at Orlando Funny Bone. Weird Job Wednesday: meet Billy — Segment sponsored by Core Flooring; Tom and Dan welcome Billy, a former Marine and commissioner/coach for the Claremont Knights Youth Football League, discussing his crushing handshake and his family's move from Staten Island to Clermont, Florida. Coaching rules then vs. now — Billy explains Pop Warner's shift from weight classes to an age cutoff (July 15), banned drills like the "nutcracker" and Oklahoma drill, and new safety gear like guardian caps, contrasted with the no-water, no-sympathy coaching Tom and Ross remember from their own 1980s youth football days. Finding the "dog" in young players — Billy discusses helping kids get past the fear of contact, spotting natural talent early (including a 12-year-old opponent who stood 6'8"), and the competitive instinct every kid has but must learn to control. Work ethic and parent commitment — Talk of the grueling practice schedule (up to five days a week), year-round training across football, baseball, and conditioning, Billy's daily 100-pushup rule for his son, and how he handles parent complaints about playing time (tabling them until "Monday," never game day). Fundraising for stadium lights — Billy details the Claremont Knights' $120,000 campaign to install lights at Eastridge Middle School so teams can practice later into the fall, plus the league's quiet scholarship program for kids who can't afford to play, directing listeners to claremontknights.com to donate. Refs, replay, and closing thoughts — Discussion of how paid, tested Pop Warner referees are held to a higher standard than assumed, Billy's own concussion-era playing memories versus modern protocols, and a closing reflection on coaching as a volunteer's "return on investment" through watching his kids succeed. Marlon Wayans on Scary Movie's return — Marlon Wayans joins via Zoom to discuss the new Scary Movie's $230+ million global box office and its September 5 Paramount+ streaming release, explaining why he and his siblings sat out installments 3–5 before reclaiming the franchise. Football training for the role — Marlon describes training for football scenes opposite Tyreek Hill, getting pulled off actual throwing duties by the director in favor of a body double, and getting private quarterback coaching from "Jordan Palmer's brother." Funny Bone marathon and work philosophy — Talk of Marlon's seven-show Funny Bone run (two Friday, three Saturday, two Sunday), his philosophy of constant stagecraft and studying audience reactions, and his upcoming stand-up special and touring set. Liga Tridente cigars — Marlon discusses his Honduran-made cigar brand, expanding from five to roughly 100 (soon possibly 1,000) retail locations, and how he got into the business through his ex-girlfriend's now-business-partner Victor. Family life and the Wayans clan — Marlon talks about his three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, turning 54, hosting family gatherings at his house, and why the family has always turned down reality-show offers. Post-interview reflections on hustle — After the call, Tom and Dan compare Marlon's estimated net worth to his other ventures (likening him to Shaquille O'Neal's diversified business empire), debate what "trying your hardest" really means, and recall the "collard greens" bit with their producer Butler that cemented their relationship with Marlon.

StubHub is spending millions to stop a bill that would cap aftermarket ticket prices. On one hand, StubHub sucks. On the other hand, it's free market? Bob demands to be called fun. Crazy Train IS that song. Ariana Grande is officially back with Ricky Alvarez. The 49ers play tonight! But, it's not a real game. Sarah is sick of people overusing “icon” and she's yelling about it.

Hour 1: It's time for Bob's Movie Club! ‘Little Miss Sunshine' delighted the whole gang. From an early Steve Carrell performance to Abigail Breslin's precious child acting, let's dig into why this movie makes our hearts so warm. Summer is almost over - did you enjoy it? Instead of buying more crappy toys, Vinnie is interested in giving his daughters experiences. Canada has HOW MANY lakes?! Wolverine is a real animal, Hugh Jackman. How does Snoop Dogg do it?! It turns out ransom is a tax write-off. Plus, the “best” college towns. Hour 2: Travis Kelce said his wedding was the best night of his life. I'm sure his WIFE will be very happy to hear that. ‘Barbie 2' is in crisis over salary negotiations. How would the hype for a second Barbie movie compare to Wicked 2? Football season is such a big part of American culture, and yet, can you even remember who won the Super Bowl last year? What's the best piece of meat? PSA: You can't drive your Rolls Royce drunk. There was a full solar eclipse in Europe yesterday, and the pictures and videos should not be overlooked. Why doesn't Vinnie's house have more slides? Hour 3: Phoebe Gates is in trouble, for real. Rob Reiner's son pleads not guilty. A random story out of nowhere: Celebrities' craziest fan encounters.

After more than a decade, the Bumble dating app is changing its key feature. Dogs are a chick magnet. Sarah reveals her hatred of Yelp, Matty shows us his Bumble, and Vinnie tells us the weirdest county fair traditions. Hour 4: Stubhub is spending millions to stop a bill that would cap aftermarket ticket prices. On one hand, stubhub sucks. On the other hand, it's free market? Bob demands to be called fun. Crazy Train IS that song. Ariana Grande is officially back with Ricky Alvarez. The 49ers play tonight! But, it's not a real game. Sarah is sick of people overusing “icon” and she's yelling about it. A story about Gold Fish, the cracker. Barbie's body type has been a conversation for years, and Mattel is finally changing her shape. Plus, a brand new game that totally makes sense and rules!

Joe Concha takes a hammer to the week's most unserious political and cultural moments. From Sean Hannity cornering a Democratic Socialists of America co-chair who cannot define a single tax rate, to Hillary Clinton's bitter "public therapy tour" comparing the White House to Saddam Hussein's palaces, Joe exposes the progressive ideas failing in real-time. He dissects AOC's moderate rebrand, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's falling approval ratings and his wife's denied police escort to high-risk travel zones, and a Michigan politician's bizarre crusade linking American football to historical oppression.

Host Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and discusses grief as a personal, normal response to loss, then interviews Dr. Adam Kimowitz, a New Jersey dentist whose younger brother David was murdered in 2019. Kimowitz describes their close, laughter-filled bond, David's work in comedy and real estate, and the traumatic aftermath of the murder, including shock, hypervigilance, and struggling with basic tasks. He explains what helped: not being alone, relying on therapy and safe people, focusing on “micro wins,” learning from grief and resilience thinkers, and using humor appropriately to break tension. He shares guidance on supporting the bereaved—saying “I have no words, but I'm here,” offering presence and hugs, avoiding comparisons, and inviting stories about the person. He also covers parenting through grief with honesty, communication, professional help, and modeling that it's okay not to be okay, plus how his marriage provided mutual support. Kimowitz keeps David's memory alive through journaling, music, traditions with David's daughters, and living by a “Dave test,” and emphasizes empathy, self-grace, and asking for help to reconnect.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:29 Grief Is Personal00:50 Meet Adam and David03:57 From Corporate to Dentistry05:55 The Night Everything Changed08:05 Goldfish and Micro Wins10:54 Learning Through Trauma13:03 What Helped in Shock15:20 David and the Power of Laughter18:59 Humor as Support24:58 What to Say to Grievers28:50 Humor Inside Grief30:00 Why Death Feels Taboo31:52 Talking to Kids About Loss36:24 Self Care for High Achievers41:41 Marriage as an Anchor47:53 Keeping Dave Alive51:30 Resilience and Asking Help52:46 Empathy Over Judgment55:25 Music Montage FarewellHelpful Links:Dr. Adam Kimowitz

Which is worse though, being a fish at a sushi restaurant or the state fair?

Evenings can feel like a tipping point: one moment your day is going fine, and the next thing 8pm hits and you're reaching for the Goldfish crackers. It's easy to blame the evening for snacks appearing or workouts getting skipped, but what if the real issue has been building all day?    In this episode, I explain why the problem usually isn't your evenings at all. Instead, evenings are just the point where you notice that your mental, emotional, and physical capacity has been quietly draining throughout the day. I break down how decision fatigue, constant problem-solving, and caring for others add up, and how to recognize the real source of those late-day challenges. You'll discover strategies to stop blaming willpower, how to intervene before fatigue hits, and practical ways to structure your day to set your evenings up for success.      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://carriehollandmd.com/212       Follow me on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/carriehollandmd https://www.instagram.com/carriehollandmd/

There was a time, not so long ago, when a Goldfish was a Goldfish. One fish. Cheddar. A simple contract between snack and human. Then, somewhere between then and now, the aisle went insane — and Pete Wright and Tommy Metz III, with fellow bewildered adult and pod snacker Mandy Kaplan, walked straight into it.Want to hear the whole delicious episode?

When you go to a sushi bar, one of the things you don't usually see on the menu is goldfish. I mean, we typically don't eat goldfish unless it's in cracker form. But a court in Argentina found that a pair of goldfish -- who were living in a tank at a sushi restaurant -- had rights. And we're not talking about just the right to not be eaten, but actual rights afforded to -- as the country calls it -- sentient beings.  Greg shares his legal insights into this bizarre story.

What happens when your franchise grows faster than the systems designed to support it?Many brands dream about expansion, but growth creates a new challenge: maintaining the consistency, culture, and customer experience that made people fall in love with the brand in the first place. As locations multiply, leaders must find ways to support franchisees, protect the brand, and adapt to changing customer expectations without losing what made the business successful.In this episode, Goldfish Swim School Chief Marketing Officer Shana Krisan shares what she's learned helping grow the brand from just 12 locations to more than 200 across the United States and Canada. She explains how strong systems, clear brand standards, local marketing support, and franchisee collaboration have helped Goldfish scale while staying true to its mission and customer experience.Shana also opens up about leadership, hiring, authenticity, franchisee relationships, and the mission-driven culture that has helped Goldfish continue to grow while staying true to its purpose. She shares why building the right team is often more important than finding the latest marketing tactic and how strong partnerships, collaboration, and a clear mission have helped the brand scale without losing what makes it special. Whether you're leading a franchise system, growing a multi-location business, or building a team that can scale with you, this conversation offers practical insights on growing without losing the identity that made your brand successful in the first place. Connect with Shana:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shana-krisan-cfe-1a20581b/Email: shana@goldfishfranchise.comWebsite: https://goldfishswimschool.com/Episode Highlights:How Shana found her way into franchisingGrowing Goldfish Swim School from 12 to 208 locationsMaintaining brand consistency during rapid growthSupporting franchisees through systems and playbooksThe balance between national and local marketingHiring the right people as your organization scalesLearning from franchisee innovationBuilding strong industry relationships and collaboration Leading with authenticity and self-awarenessScaling a brand without losing its identityConnect with TracyPersonal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracy-panase/JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleJBF Franchise System - https://jbfsalefranchise.com/Email: podcast@jbfsale.comConnect with ShannonPersonal LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonwilburn/       JBF LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbfsaleWebsite - https://shineexecutivecoaching.com/Email - shannon@shineexecutivecoaching.com

Tyler Hoffman returns to the show to discuss diagnostics and observability data in embedded systems. We catch up on his life after startup acquisition, explore the hows and whys of keeping product data separate from operational data, and consider the realities of fleet management at scale.  Tyler is the co-founder of Memfault. Memfault was acquired by Nordic Semiconductor about a year ago. While Nordic has nRF Cloud as a smaller scale solution for Nordic devices (~100 devices), Memfault will continue to maintain support for non-Nordic platforms as well. During the discussion, Tyler advocates for a "device-in-control" philosophy, emphasizing that edge devices should retain the intelligence to manage their own firmware updates and telemetry. We also discuss the practical constraints of remote fleet debugging, outlining why tools built for high-bandwidth web infrastructure will quickly bankrupt an IoT company, and identifying exactly when a project is too low-bandwidth, or too small, to justify an external observability platform. Christopher shares his recent experiences with Memfault which leads to a discussion of chunks, flash memory buffers and MDS. The Memfault Diagnostic Service (MDS) is a standardized way for BLE devices to send the chunk payloads to a gateway device (mobile phone) which can then forward the data to the Memfault cloud. If you want a deep dive into the reasoning around starting Memfault, Tyler was on Embedded.fm episodes 390: Irresponsible At the Time and 395: I Can No Longer Play Ping Pong. Reaching back into the archives, Elecia, Tyler, and Phillip Johnston were on the Memfault Coredump Sessions podcast, a special crosspost with Embedded.fm, episode 451: From Concept to Launch  You can also find technical deep dives on Memfault's Interrupt blog.

Also, between recording and releasing, it was confirmed that Brian was not, in fact, going to prepare steaks.

Welcome to the final chapter of our Alice in Wonderland journey on Books at Bedtime, brought to you by Calming Anxiety. If an overactive mind or a long, stressful day is keeping you awake tonight, let the soothing cadence of classic storytelling act as a gentle distraction, easing you into a deep, uninterrupted sleep. Tonight, we conclude Lewis Carroll's classic tale with Chapter 12: Alice's Evidence.We return to the chaotic courtroom of Wonderland, where Alice is called to give her testimony. Having suddenly grown to her full size, Alice inadvertently topples the jury box, scattering the animal jurors like goldfish from a bowl. Listen as the King desperately attempts to enforce Rule 42, the White Rabbit reads a final, nonsensical piece of poetic evidence, and the furious Queen demands a sentence before a verdict can even be reached. As the illusion shatters and Alice stands up to the flying pack of cards, she awakens to a gentle breeze, realizing it was all a wonderful, curious dream. Read with a slow, calming voice to encourage deep relaxation, this final chapter is the perfect bedtime routine to slow your breathing and soothe your nervous system before rest. Turn down the lights, get comfortable under the covers, and let go of the day.Episode Chapters00:00 – Introduction: Settling Down for the Final Chapter00:15 – Tipping the Jury Box: Alice's Sudden Growth01:16 – Upsetting the Goldfish & Righting Bill the Lizard02:07 – Important or Unimportant?

Today's poem is Goldfish by Francisco Márquez. The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, guest host Diannely Antigua writes… “When it comes to death, we often have a need to witness. It is our human instinct to see and touch, to hear their silence. I remember wondering why it was called a wake service and learning that it comes from staying awake, from keeping vigil over the body before burial. We're keeping the dead company as they transition, much like we would with a friend at a train station before they move across the country.” This show is supported by gifts from listeners.
