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.

Segment Rundown Cold open: Orlando Weekly wins — Tom and Dan thank listeners for voting them #1 podcast in the Orlando Weekly awards again (won every year but one), explain why the recognition matters for their small business, praise Will's Pub owner Will Walker for leaning into similar local promotion, and tease a story they're saving for Monday's BDM-only show. Nobody has it figured out — After a bit riffing on an adult-film parody, the group discusses chasing money and fame with Aimee, including the story of Pauly Shore once calling them for business advice and George Wallace still hustling decades into his career — the takeaway being that no one, however successful, ever fully "figures it out." Selling 10% of the show — Inspired by NFL teams selling ownership stakes (the Atlanta Falcons' $1.6B sale of 10%) and Mark Cuban's rise, the hosts joke about selling 10% of Tom and Dan and using AI to preserve their likenesses after death. Aimee's job buyout — Aimee shares that she's taking a voluntary severance from her 12-year job at a Medicaid-based insurance company, effective by May 2027, and has already lined up new therapy and contract work; the hosts joke about her stealing office supplies and the three of them starting an affiliate partnership. Neighbor bush feud advice — Aimee asks for help with an 11-year feud with an elderly neighbor over a shared, overgrown bush encroaching on her house; the group runs through escalating "solutions" (hiring a surveyor since overhanging branches can legally be trimmed, plant diseases/whiteflies, popping tires, a kindness gift basket) while Aimee also vents about the same neighbors letting their dogs bark late at night. Aimee's upcoming shows (first plug) — Plugs for Aimee's long-running Shit Sandwich comedy show (15 years, first and third Fridays, with Rue co-hosting), a free family show/class Aug 29 at the Melrose Center, an improv jam that same night at Stigma Tattoos through the Florida Comedy Collective, and a Sept 26 West End Live show opening for Johnny Pemberton (Fallout, Superstore, Pickle and Peanut). Marching band car wash fundraiser — Tom plugs his niece's Lake Howell Marching Band charity car wash, comparing it to his own high school band fundraiser days, and the group riffs on whether kids doing donation-based fundraisers should just be tipped for playing their instruments instead, plus a jab at cheap oversized "big check" charity photo ops. AI voice-translation app demo — Dan shows off an AI app that translates a video into other languages (French, Mandarin, Swedish) in the speaker's own voice with matching lip movement, demoed using Tom & Dan Cruise 2027 promo clips, sparking discussion of how fast real-time translation tech is advancing. Optimus robot speculation — Riffing on a detail from Tesla's Aug 5 earnings call (robots reportedly getting chips before cars), the hosts imagine owning a humanoid Optimus robot to drive any car and handle housework and yard work, while questioning Elon Musk's track record on self-driving promises. Costa Concordia documentary recap — Tom recaps a Netflix documentary on the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster (the captain's unauthorized close "salute" pass, the reef strike, 32 deaths, his botched response and prison sentence), tying it back to their own upcoming Tom & Dan Cruise announcement. Poop stories and Concrete Mike call — A riff on awkward public-pooping stories (a "poop cruise" documentary, past guests improvising with towels) leads into a call from regular listener "Concrete Mike," who talks about using job-site dumpsters instead of portable toilets, becoming a new grandfather the night before, and hitting his 50th birthday. Aging radio personality tangent — A riff on an old colleague/bit going "full radio" and speculation about the declining health of an unnamed public figure known for hormone-replacement therapy abuse. Grave-niche theft follow-up — Dan describes keeping his parents' and family dog's ashes in an urn box in his wife's office, following up on a prior story about robbers stealing from cemetery niches. Caller: Tom's mom — Tom calls his mom live on air to ask, hypothetically, whether she'd help him commit various crimes (grave robbing, fake pest-control scams, driving a getaway car); she affectionately confirms she'd always back him, contrasted with Aimee's mom, who Aimee says would turn her in. Penn State cocaine ring story — Discussion of a news story about a cocaine trafficking ring run out of two Penn State fraternities, the alleged ringleader facing decades in prison, and a broader riff on drug legalization versus criminalization and treatment-based drug policy. Portland, Oregon tangent — A brief detour recalling an unsettling encounter with an intimidating stranger during a past trip to Portland, comparing its street culture to Orlando's. World's oldest person story — Discussion of the new Guinness World Record holder for oldest living person (a British woman turning 117) and the extraordinary span of history she's lived through — the Great Depression, WWII, the moon landing, the invention of the internet, two pandemics, and the Titanic sinking. Aimee's C-section story — Aimee shares her emergency C-section experience, including the surgical team nicking her breech baby's toe and playing an unwanted song during the procedure, plus a listener's story about a relative's more serious, complicated C-section. Future medicine and tech nostalgia — Closing speculation about longevity advances (cancer vaccines, genetic screening at birth) alongside early-technology nostalgia, including Dan's dad's status-symbol car phone. Show close and plugs — Final recap of Aimee's upcoming shows, a tease that BDM members will hear a special story on Monday's show, and a note that a full Tom & Dan Cruise announcement is coming soon. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned August 29, 1:30 PM — Aimee LeCours' free family show/class at the Melrose Center (Orange County Library System).

Brian Cullman is an acclaimed musician and journalist from New York whose memoir How to Prepare For The Past: Travels in Music and Time is one of my favorite reads of the year. The book tells tales of encounters with big names like Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry, Big Joe Turner, Bo Diddley, George Martin, and more. But, the stories in these pages are deeply relatable and human. After just a few minutes talking to Brian, I realized why. The Marinade is a free-flowing conversation about the creative process with creative people. Each episode we welcome musicians, actors, comedians, authors, visual artists, filmmakers- anyone who creates art to talk about how and why we make stuff.

Liam St. John is a rock n' roll singer and songwriter whose debut studio full length record Man of the North was released in September of 2025. He climbed out of some dark places to deliver this record. His voice grabs you by the throat and takes you on a ride through religious trauma, family dynamics, toughness, pain, and self-discovery.  I keep coming back to this record, and I think this conversation will help you understand why. Quick note: The first part of Liam's vocals did not record, so I'm dropping you off about fifteen minutes into the conversation. You'll be okay.

This is a crossover episode with my friends Ben Montgomery and Wayne Fugate from Records Revisited! Records Revisited is a show that celebrates the magic of music. Each episode they have a distinguished guest - I emphasize distinguished as I have appeared seven (?) times - as of this writing. The group decides on an album to listen to and discuss and then rank the songs on the record from their favorite to least favorite. Then, they turn the mics on and go track by track to defend their rankings. I love those guys and their show so I jumped at the chance to record this episode with them.  The idea came from Ben's brain. Ron Pope is a songwriter from New York who now makes his home in Nashville. He has been a guest on both The Marinade and Records Revisited. We are all huge fans of his music and it was an honor to have this conversation. In June of 2025, Ron released a song called "Things Jesus Didn't Say," which inspired Ben to ask: What are our favorite protest songs? Each of us brought five songs to Ron's show at Tuffy's Music Box in Sanford, FL, earlier this year, sat down in the green room, turned on the mics, and made some magic.
