A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: "Feathers and Bubbles" Hosts: Tom and Dan | Guest: Seth Petruzelli Sponsors / Ad Reads JustCallMoe.com — recording studio sponsor read at the top of the show; also plugged later as the presenting sponsor of the upcoming Tom and Dan Cruise. The Bart Marek Team (Bart Marek and Crystal Vann) — two full-time, experienced Florida realtors based in Clermont, offering "two-for-one" service for buying or selling; a personal testimonial about them helping sell a family member's house in St. Augustine; barttherealtor.com, call or text either agent directly. Fairvilla Megastore — sexual wellness superstore with multiple locations, described as having modern/high-tech products, costumes and lingerie for Halloween, Fairvilla University online educational courses, and a discreet "Secrets Hideaway" section; fairvilla.com. Don Mealy Chevrolet (Clermont) — longtime advertiser; contact GM JC Harrelson and mention Tom and Dan; plugged for Corvettes, trucks, and used vehicles, with a personal note about owning a Silverado and Traverse from them; DMChevy.com. Segment Rundown Cold open, grooming talk — Tom and Dan welcome Seth Petruzelli to the couch and razz him about his beard and blow-dried hair; a tangent on straighteners vs. blow-dryers leads into a bit about their wives' expensive Dyson hair tools. Recent celebrity deaths — The hosts run through a rough week of deaths, including Tim Curry, Dolly (referenced briefly), and the voice actor of Optimus Prime, riffing darkly on average lifespan. Seth's chronic chaos — Running bit that Seth is perpetually running late or juggling a crisis; today it's his dog and a vet appointment, plus it's revealed to be Seth's birthday. Seth's dog and Disney cruise — Seth brought his dog Rocky (a different Rocky than Tom's) on set; talk turns to Seth boarding him for four nights while Seth takes his first vacation in two and a half years, a Disney cruise with his wife and daughter Vera. Tom's dog Rocky and pet talk — Tom shows off his own dog Rocky on stream, admits he's been neglecting him since focusing on his young daughter, and the group jokes about pushing Tom's son Tommy toward wanting a dog or cat despite Tracy's reluctance. Karate class standards slipping — A tangent from the dojo talk about how kids today can't finish basic requirements (like a brown belt or three months of consistent training), tying into a broader "everything is getting weaker/no consequences" complaint, including schools making gym-class changing rooms optional now. Locker room embarrassment nostalgia — The hosts and Seth swap stories about being self-conscious getting undressed in front of others as kids and in a pro arena-football locker room as an adult. Seth's MRI/health update — Seth shares that he got a full-body MRI, compared it to one from two years prior, and got mostly good results except his prostate being "large side of normal." Seth's dojo being demolished — Seth explains his dojo's building is being torn down and he must vacate by November; he's negotiating a new space, planning to use students to help move (in exchange for food/drinks), and reflects on a black belt who's been especially helpful. Should Seth do a GoFundMe? — Debate over whether it's in good taste for a business to crowdfund when forced out by demolition, referencing a nearby business owner doing the same; jokes about a bikini car wash and a "GoFundMe vs. crowdfund" distinction (charity vs. general fundraising). The actual dojo car wash fundraiser — Dan recounts attending a real car-wash fundraiser for the dojo, paying more than requested because the kids did a thorough job. Daughter's Taco Bell complaint — Dan tells a story about his daughter filing an online complaint after Taco Bell repeatedly forgot part of her order. Joke about Seth's finances — Riffing on the idea that no one will donate to a GoFundMe for someone with a lakeside mansion, a boat, and a nice car, including a bit about trading in a BMW for a Hyundai. Dojo move logistics and mock fundraiser pitch — More detail on moving costs (a mirror company hired just to transport dojo mirrors, a dumpster for old equipment); the group jokingly pitches an absurd "buy a black belt" crowdfunding tier system, with Seth explaining the real distinction between an official ranked black belt and a "junior/in-house" one. AI in podcast production — The show discusses no longer paying a human for intro songs/jingles, now using AI for notes and occasionally songs (though they still do some manual ones too), and debate the line between AI convenience and "authenticity" compared to corporate radio. Prostitution sting debate — Sparked by 49ers owner Jed York's prostitution-sting arrest and a local Altamonte Springs sting ("Operation Midnight Heat," 37 arrests), the hosts argue undercover prostitution stings are a poor use of police resources compared to focusing on predators of minors, and make the case for regulating/legalizing sex work. Caller: Concrete Mike, prostitution talk — Concrete Mike calls in about hiring escorts for parties in the past; the call is plagued by a bad phone connection and cuts out repeatedly before the hosts move on. GTA 6 leak coverage — Detailed rundown of hacker "Cyber Leak's" leaked GTA 6 footage (starting August 18), new gameplay features (six-star wanted system, stamina and car-gas meters, a karma system, Red Dead-style bullet-time aiming), a leaked nudist-area clip, and a somber aside about how hyper-realistic "living a second life in a game" can feel. GTA franchise money talk — The hosts look up that the GTA franchise has made $11 billion total, with GTA 5 alone earning $815 million in its first 24 hours; confirmed November 19, 2026 release date for GTA 6. Caller: "J Volvo" — A young-sounding caller who turns out to be a 40-year-old Marine and brown belt calls in as a bit, pitching a "Fit Tom Fridays" 5K fundraiser idea for Seth's dojo; the hosts jokingly induct him as a rookie "cop" character and enjoy the surprise live call. New "Stage" Rock Band reboot — Discussion of an upcoming Rock Band-style rhythm game launching in December, with nostalgia about old Rock Band parties, and a broader riff on short attention spans/endless content (dating apps, streaming, mobile games) making it hard for any single game to hold interest. Six Flags roller coaster aneurysm story (teaser + full segment) — After a break, the hosts cover two women who suffered brain aneurysms riding Six Flags' X2 roller coaster, show POV footage of the ride's uniquely independently-spinning carts, and speculate (semi-jokingly) about the physics/anatomy behind why it happened. Flatulence and bathroom health talk — A crude tangent connecting back to Seth's MRI story, where he and the others discuss holding in gas, bowel habits, and general bathroom TMI. Voicemail: grandma question (Amedeus, Fort Myers) — A caller references a past on-air comment and asks which grandmother the hosts would rather "embarrass" in front of; leads to a riff on generational/cultural stereotypes about tougher vs. softer grandmothers. Voicemail: convenience store "big black mama" story (Debary Joe) — A caller shares a heartfelt/funny anecdote about a stranger's kindness at a gas station after a rough day, prompting brief pushback from a host about the framing of the story. Mad honey discussion — Seth explains he bought "mad honey" (a hallucinogenic honey from Nepal) and plans to have his wife try it first; the hosts detail its origins, effects, dangerous dosing risks, its history as an ancient biological weapon, and its recent viral popularity via a Joe Rogan clip. Nepal flooding aside — A brief, more serious detour about real disaster footage of catastrophic flooding in Nepal that circulated online. Psychedelics and mental health tangent — Talk shifts to Kratom, mushrooms, microdosing, and studies on psilocybin therapy for PTSD/anxiety; Seth admits he's more afraid of a mushroom trip than he ever was fighting professionally (referencing his MMA background against opponents like Kimbo Slice and Bob Sapp). Voicemail: adult content from caller "Mike" — A caller shares an explicit story from his younger years about hiring escorts for group parties at his house; the hosts summarize and react without repeating graphic detail. Voicemail: workplace exorcism question (BDM, Jacksonville) — A caller asks if anyone has heard of a business getting an exorcism, sparking a broader discussion about corporate superstition (feng shui, sage smudging, "energy"), with the hosts drawing a line between supernatural belief and legitimate ideas like attitude/mindset affecting outcomes. Voicemail: "Pure Pod" gadget — A caller points out that a produce-washing gadget advertised online is basically a vibrator; the hosts confirm the device is a real product marketed to skirt platform rules around selling sexual wellness items. Voicemail: old photo in ski resort system — A caller shares that a modern ski resort pulled up his decades-old childhood lift-ticket photo from a previous owner's records, leading to a discussion about how far back companies' digital recordkeeping goes and some personal skiing stories from the hosts. Dojo move update and wrap-up — Seth gives a final update: staying within a 3-mile radius under the new name "Soto Dojo," reviewing a lease, and dealing with a landlord dispute over alleged unpaid utility charges/liens the show insists were never billed properly. Studio/podcast future plugs and cruise pitch — The hosts float building a future glass-walled studio, mention recent released interviews (Patrick Warburton, Lorenzo Lamas), and give a detailed pitch for the upcoming Tom and Dan Cruise, including perks, cost, and booking details, before signing off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned November 2026 — Seth must vacate his current dojo location due to the building being demolished. November 19, 2026 — GTA 6 release date (confirmed unchanged despite ongoing leaks). December (2026) — New "Stage" Rock Band-style rhythm game launches. Ongoing — Seth relocating his dojo to a new spot within a 3-mile radius, tentatively named "Soto Dojo"; lease still being finalized. September 23–27, 2027 — Tom and Dan Cruise aboard the MSC Seashore (Thursday–Sunday), stopping in Nassau and a private island; includes unlimited drink package and free Wi-Fi for two, a live podcast taping, birthday party, and gambling night; $200 fully refundable deposit holds a spot, with payment installments available through Ahoy Cruises; presented by JustCallMoe.com. Recently released — New Patrick Warburton interview episode and a Lorenzo Lamas interview from the previous night. Notable Guests/Callers Seth Petruzelli — In-studio guest; martial arts instructor whose dojo is being forced to relocate. Concrete Mike — Phone-in caller; connection was too poor to complete his story. "J Volvo" — Phone-in caller; a 40-year-old Marine and brown belt who called in as a bit.

On this episode of McCarthy Monday, Big John McCarthy and Josh Thomson break down the Nevada State Athletic Commission's crackdown on UFC fighters climbing or leaving the cage after their victories. Following UFC 329, Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett and Gable Steveson are facing disciplinary hearings after their post-fight celebrations. Their purses have been withheld pending the hearings. And Daniel Cormier isn't holding back, calling the rule “the most ridiculous rule in mixed martial arts” and arguing that fighters should be allowed to celebrate the biggest moments of their careers. But is the Nevada commission actually justified? Big John brings his experience as a former referee and longtime authority on MMA rules to explain why the rule exists, where the safety concerns come from, and whether the commission is taking things too far. Josh and Big John also discuss the difference between dangerous behavior inside the cage and harmless emotional celebrations after a fight, and whether there should be some common-sense discretion when it comes to enforcing these rules. The commission's concerns aren't completely without precedent—the infamous UFC 229 Khabib Nurmagomedov–Conor McGregor brawl showed how quickly fighters leaving the cage can create chaos. But does that justify punishing fighters who simply climb the cage after a win? Should fighters be fined for celebrating—or should the commission use some common sense?

Is Umar Nurmagomedov feeling the pressure of carrying one of the biggest names in MMA? On this episode of Weighing In, Josh Thomson and the crew dive into the expectations surrounding Umar Nurmagomedov as he continues his pursuit of UFC gold. The Nurmagomedov name carries enormous weight in MMA. Khabib established himself as one of the greatest fighters ever, while Umar's brother Usman has also become a champion-level fighter. Umar has had to build his own legacy while constantly being compared to the family members who came before him. Umar has already reached the UFC title picture, but after falling short against Merab Dvalishvili, the road back to championship gold comes with even more pressure. Is Umar trying to live up to the Nurmagomedov name—or is the pressure of the family legacy actually making his journey harder? Josh breaks down Umar's career, his expectations, his championship potential and what it takes to step out of the shadow of Khabib and the Nurmagomedov legacy.

Brendan Schaub answers your fan questions on a Sunday edition of Big Brown Breakdown and gets into some of the biggest debates happening in the UFC.Islam Makhachev may have surpassed Anderson Silva's legendary UFC winning streak, but does that automatically make Islam's run more impressive?

Brendan also builds the perfect heavyweight to defeat Jon Jones, discusses whether Conor McGregor vs Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson makes sense, reacts to Ian Machado Garry embracing his heel role, and picks which current UFC champion has the best chance of moving up and winning another belt. Plus, Brendan discusses Michael Morales' wrestling, Islam carrying two UFC belts, a potential Mauricio Ruffy vs Diego Lopes matchup, whether Justin Gaethje could beat an untrained heavyweight, and Sergei Pavlovich's position in the heavyweight title picture.
