Just Call Moe: Studio sponsorship mention — the show broadcasts live from the "Just Call Moe" studio. Surfshark VPN: Brief plug tied into a bit about streaming content while traveling. Bud Docs (buddocs.org): Dr. Shin Latte's medical marijuana recommendation service — a listener testimonial is read, pricing is covered (existing patients $125, new patients $175, transfers $99), and the hosts note he also curates dispensary deals. Moe Comedy Jam: Interactive, audience-voted comedy show co-hosted by Dan and Larry Fulford, coming to the Orlando Funny Bone. Fair Villa Megastore (fairvilla.com): Longtime sponsor promoted for sexual wellness products and their upcoming Halloween party. Segment Rundown Cold open, AI content: Dan and Tom open riffing on AI-generated celebrity content (fake Conan O'Brien interview clips) and the flood of AI-inserted figures into viral videos, sliding into a candid discussion of AI-generated adult content versus traditional material. 9/11 "fifth plane" theory: Ross brings up a TMZ documentary claiming a fifth 9/11 flight was locked down after hijackers were discovered hiding aboard, and the FBI allegedly investigated it but never went public. The hosts are skeptical of TMZ as a source but debate why the government might suppress or promote such a story, and how the "never comply, fight back" mindset changed after Flight 93. Deathbed confessions tangent: A joking detour into fake and real deathbed confessions, including a supposed Bigfoot hoaxer, D.B. Cooper impersonators, and a man who claimed on his deathbed to have been Billy the Kid, with details that reportedly lined up. Rick Springfield on Joe Rogan: Discussion of Rick Springfield's recent Rogan appearance, where at 77 he still looks noticeably fit, and his story about performing for troops in Vietnam as a teenager, being invited to fire mortar rounds during an attack, and later learning one may have killed an enemy soldier — a memory he says has haunted him since. T&D history — first celebrity interviews: Dan and Tom recall that Rick Springfield was their first-ever celebrity phone interview back in 2009 (booked under an assumed name to keep it separate from their radio day jobs), followed shortly by Willie Aames ("Bibleman"). They play a clip of that original interview in which Springfield discusses having dated a 15-year-old Linda Blair when he was 25, a topic he has apparently repeated in interviews since, including reportedly telling CNN the same story a year after telling them. Voicemail — Sheetz vs. gas station food: A voicemail (referencing Ross's earlier trip to Pennsylvania) praises Sheetz's fried food menu — mini corn dogs, loaded potato bites, fried mac and cheese, Cinnabon pockets — sparking a tangent about whether corn dogs are already fried before baking, and a detour into Bojangles' potato rounds and onions. Wawa vs. 7-Eleven: A running debate over which convenience store chain is better, including Dan's story about a confrontational man outside his local Wawa, complaints about removed seating areas and homeless encampments, and a friendly dispute over food and service quality between the chains. Publix "Picks" nostalgia and Mountain Dew story: The hosts reminisce about the discontinued Publix Picks gas station/convenience concept (magazine racks, pub subs) and recall the old news story of a Deltona location where an employee contaminated bottles of Mountain Dew, tying into a related story about a homemade prank drink at a high school party. Caller — gas station culture: A caller (a lawn care/pest control worker) discusses favorite gas-station food chains, including Parker's Kitchen, his late father's love of the discontinued Golden Skillet and Hardee's fried chicken, the old Mr. Donut vs. Dunkin' Donuts rivalry, and Bojangles' spicy Cajun filet biscuit. Old-school gas station nostalgia: Dan and Ross reminisce about classic gas stations with bulletproof clerk booths, oddball inventory (cat litter, dog bones), overnight customers doing full grocery runs, Uber Eats "pickers," and pre-GPS customers stopping in to read paper maps. Caller — Debary Joe, Bojangles order: A recurring caller ("Debary Joe") calls in live to have Dan and Ross help him build his ideal Bojangles Uber Eats order (sausage Bo-Berry biscuit, spicy Cajun filet, potato rounds, Texas Pete), which Dan compares to his daughter Maisie's go-to order. Domino's deal talk: A brief exchange about a cheap Domino's delivery promotion and the "Brookie" dessert used to hit delivery minimums. Guest Collette Fehr — Aaron Rodgers/Shailene Woodley: Collette Fehr (co-host of the Love Thy Neighbor podcast) joins to discuss Aaron Rodgers' comments on a podcast about ex-partner Shailene Woodley, in which he claimed she wanted to be with someone else before their planned wedding, and separate comments about ex Danica Patrick. The group discusses the ethics of public figures discussing past relationships negatively, with Collette (a couples therapist) noting how people who consistently blame exes are usually part of the pattern themselves. "Sowing wild oats" discussion: Building off the Rodgers story, the group debates the value of dating multiple people before marriage, with Collette offering a therapist's perspective that lacking that experience is rarely what actually damages long-term relationships. Lightning strike death: A somber turn to the story of a Michigan college student interning at Walt Disney World who was struck by lightning and killed while jogging in Orlando, with Dan and Tom recalling their own recent close encounter with a lightning strike near Lake Baldwin. Trump midterm convention remarks: The hosts read and react to comments President Trump made at a Republican midterm convention in Dallas, including having the crowd raise their hands in a pledge and remarks about voting and cheating. Koi fish story from Thailand: A news story about a man in Thailand caught on video engaging in sexual contact with a neighbor's koi fish, with a prior history involving other animals, leads to a debate over relative cruelty to animals (fishing, catch-and-release) versus this incident. Raccoon and crow stories: Dan describes an ongoing nightly raccoon problem at his house (including raccoons climbing a ladder to his roof) and reveals his wife has secretly been feeding a pair of mangy neighborhood crows. Harvard morgue body-parts scandal: Closing story about Harvard's $53 million settlement over a former morgue manager who sold stolen body parts (donated for medical research) to collectors and oddity shops, leading into a tangent about the ethics of "Body Worlds"-style cadaver exhibits. Wrap-up / BDM plugs: The hosts close by promoting Tom and Dan.com membership (BDM), noting fellow broadcaster Moe's history of giving away bigger prizes (cruises, cars, motorcycles) to his audience, and teasing upcoming BDM appreciation week prizes before signing off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Thursdays, 8 PM: Love Thy Neighbor Show airs on Real Radio and as a podcast, hosted with Collette Fehr.

Mentions their free rewards app (a free bagel just for signing up) at JeffsBagelRun.com. Tom and Dan 2027 "Seaz Nuts" Cruise — Booking now for September 23–26, sailing from Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay.

Deposit info at tomanddancruise2027.com; later in the show they note roughly 150 people have already signed up. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com) — Attorney Moe Dewitt sponsors the show; pitched twice as a personal recommendation from Dan. Promotes his free VIP program (event invites), the Moe Grand Prix in Tampa, an interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross coming in October, and the annual Moe Celebrity Bowlarama. Core Flooring Center (coreflooringfl.com) — Owner Corey's Central Florida showroom (walkable flooring samples). Listeners get 10% off flooring and labor starting at $1/sq ft, 0% financing for 24 months, and dustless flooring removal; a portion of sales supports local pet charities. Segment Rundown Show open and download-count banter — Tom and Dan kick off the Friday free show joking about being too comfortable on air and touting the show's roughly 20 million total downloads over nearly 30 years. Savannah's dramatic entrance — The hosts joke about a professionally produced "Crocodile Dundee"-style intro bit for Savannah, then she bursts in late, having just come from getting a traffic ticket. Expired-tag traffic stop story — Savannah recounts being pulled over driving from Gatorland for an expired vehicle registration, getting warned a repeat stop could mean jail, and paying a $114 ticket. The group riffs on DMV renewal hassles, automated license-plate-reading cameras, and Dan's own past run-in with an expired driver's license (including his wife Crystal once telling a cop she was driving because his license was suspended). Australia trip recap: Northern Territory and viral songs — Savannah describes her month-long stay near Darwin with her friend Catherine's teenage kids, then plays two viral local songs ("Pink Blush" and a track by Young Miami), sparking a debate about fast-fashion brands like Shein versus the designer-brand references in older rap. Remembering Dolly Parton — The group discusses Dolly Parton's recent death, with Savannah recalling the outpouring of sympathy she got from Australians while traveling, a bit about post office flags at half-staff, and a running joke about Dan dressing as Dolly for Halloween. Filming crocodile feedings — Savannah describes filming pig-meat crocodile feedings for content and a near-miss when a crocodile bumped her GoPro rig underwater. The crocodile-poop diamond ring — Savannah tells the story of pulling a tarnished diamond ring out of crocodile droppings while cleaning park drains, brings it into the studio, and the group speculates on how it got there (a lost tourist's ring, a ring embedded in pig meat, or something a "nuisance" crocodile swallowed years earlier) and whether she'd return it if she ever traced it to a victim's family. Wombat and wallaby encounters — Savannah describes her daily play sessions (and occasional bites) with a wombat named Rocket and a standoffish wallaroo named King George at the park. Tease for jet lag / NFL Australia segment — Brief tease before the break about discussing jet lag and the NFL game being played in Australia the following week. AI-assisted ring analysis — Back from break, Dan reveals he ran a description of the ring through Claude, which suggested a sterling-silver band with an oval clear stone in a style common from the 1920s–1960s and recommended a jeweler test for a maker's mark; the hosts jokingly dangle a free cruise spot for whoever can positively identify the ring. The mystery poop bag / Seth Petruzzelli reveal — Callback to a bit about a dog-poop bag left outside the studio all week; caller Brandon had correctly guessed it belonged to former guest Seth Petruzzelli, confirmed via a group text from Seth (on a cruise). Brandon is rewarded with a Tom & Dan merchandise prize pack. Jet lag mechanics and NFL Australia games — Savannah explains why the trip home from Australia hits harder than the trip there, recounting driving on the wrong side of the road and getting lost the morning after landing. This leads into discussion of the 49ers vs. Rams Week 1 game in Australia and whose travel plan (acclimating a week early vs. arriving 24 hours out) will backfire. Wheel of Fortune announcer scandal — The hosts discuss announcer Jim Thornton's firing after being seen on a flight accessing an online support community for people with pedophilic thoughts, debating intent and why the network cut ties regardless. Plane screen-privacy and targeted-ad tangent — A bit about people snooping on neighbors' phone/laptop screens on flights, Dan's admission to browsing a friend-of-the-show burlesque performer's photos mid-flight, and a riff on social media ads seeming to "listen in" on conversations. Otter attack news story — A news item about a woman injured by an otter while open-water swimming leads to a tangent celebrating unstoppable elderly athletes (swimmers, runners, pickleball players). "Last Stop Laramie" documentary recommendation — Savannah recommends an HBO Max true-crime documentary about an unsolved murder in a tiny Northern Territory town, calling it "homework" for listeners; also mentions the 20th anniversary of Steve Irwin's death and shares Australian "strawberry cloud" candy with the hosts. Burning Man riff ("bring the vinegar") — An extended bit about Burning Man culture: having to rinse off alkaline playa dust with vinegar (the episode's namesake joke), gripes about big festival crowds and sound quality, trash left behind at the event, and a running gag about starting a mini parody version called "Burning Dan." Shoes and celebrity memorabilia tangent — A bit about favorite oversized New Balance "Willie Nelson" sneakers (with a mention of Willie Nelson's own shoes on display in Nashville), followed by talk of friends' celebrity memorabilia — a Dolly Parton outfit, Betty White's door, a talking Satchmo doll, and an animatronic singing Alan Jackson Santa. Social media algorithm suppression and Instagram "breakup" — Savannah explains how Instagram throttles her reach unless she posts risky "running from crocodiles" content, even losing followers off a 1.5-million-view viral video, and describes going on a content blackout and writing the platform a "Dear John" video letter. The group connects this to algorithms rewarding negativity and the growing uncertainty over AI-generated content online. Voicemail: TikTok algorithm burnout — A listener voicemail says the TikTok algorithm has gotten worse and they've switched to rewatching old shows (Vice Principals, The Righteous Gemstones); the hosts riff on preferring classic sitcoms (The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, Golden Girls) over TikTok and note wanting to watch "Monsters of God," a documentary Savannah says she knows people featured in. Show close — Sign-off wishing listeners a safe Labor Day weekend, a reminder the show is off Monday and returns Tuesday with the BDM show, an apology for canceling Thursday's show due to Dan's emergency root canal, and a closing plug for the 2027 "Seaz Nuts" Tom and Dan Cruise, noting strong early sign-ups. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Next week: NFL Week 1 game played in Australia (49ers vs. Rams), discussed re: jet lag. Monday: Show is off. Tuesday: Show returns with the BDM edition. October: Just Call Moe's interactive "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show with Ross. September 23–26, 2027: Tom and Dan "Seaz Nuts" Cruise, sailing from Port Canaveral on the MSC Seashore (Nassau and Ocean Cay stops) — deposits open now at tomanddancruise2027.com. Ongoing/unscheduled: Moe Grand Prix (Tampa) and Moe Celebrity Bowlarama, plugged via justcallmoe.com's VIP program. Notable Guests/Callers Savannah — In-studio guest from Gatorland; recounted her month-long Australia trip, the crocodile-poop diamond ring find, and her ongoing standoff with Instagram's algorithm. Brandon — Phone-in caller who correctly guessed that former guest Seth Petruzzelli left the poop bag outside the studio; awarded a Tom & Dan prize pack. Seth Petruzzelli — Referenced (not on air) via a group text confirming he was the "poop bag culprit." Unnamed voicemail caller — Left a voicemail about TikTok algorithm burnout, prompting the closing sitcom-nostalgia discussion. ### Website: https://tomanddan.com/ App: https://tomanddan.com/app Become a BDM: https://tomanddan.com/registration Merch: https://tomanddan.myshopify.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TomandDanLive Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/tomanddanlive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AMediocreTime Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomanddanlive/ X: https://x.com/TomAndDanLive TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@tomanddanshow Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss

Low water is still disrupting European river cruises despite recent rain, with Viking, Emerald Cruises, Saga River Cruises, Avalon Waterways, Uniworld and AmaWaterways adjusting sailings on the Danube, Rhine and Main; Saga told guests "We won't turn your itinerary into a coach holiday; the ship will be sailing," while AmaWaterways COO Jon Burrows said the line doesn't "wait until conditions become a problem."

On today's episode we are together and live from Orlando! We can't wait to share the fun and learning of our time here!

Today's Cruise News covers three stories shaping cruise choices for the seasons ahead. Margaritaville at Sea welcomed its one millionth guest on June 25 and is preparing to add a third ship, the Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber, which will homeport at PortMiami beginning January 2027. MSC Cruises launched a July 4 sale offering 40 percent off, free sailings for children, and 250 dollars off U.S. homeport departures, with five sailings crossing the holiday out of Galveston, Seattle, Port Canaveral, and Miami. And MSC confirmed that MSC Meraviglia will homeport in Southampton for 21 cruises in 2028, expanding the line's UK presence with British Isles, Northern Europe, and Norwegian fjords itineraries.

Today's Cruise News brief covers three developments across the cruise industry. Royal Caribbean's Harmony of the Seas returns to Europe for the first time in five years after an April to May 2026 drydock, sailing the Western Mediterranean from Barcelona and Civitavecchia before a July transatlantic crossing back to Port Canaveral, with roughly 100 new staterooms and refreshed onboard venues. MSC Cruises expands its Aurea Spa concept across its 23-ship fleet beginning summer 2026, adding medical-wellness services such as IV therapy, aesthetic injectables, AI-supported skin diagnostics, and a Japanese-inspired head spa. And Celestyal Cruises adds Agios Nikolaos, Crete as a regular call on its seven-night Idyllic Greece itinerary, replacing Heraklion, with an inaugural visit on May 12, 2026 and 28 annual calls planned.

JoJo Siwa Biography Flash a weekly Biography. JoJo Siwa has spent the past few days at the center of a very 2026 pop‑culture storm, defined by a high‑priced cruise, a sharpened public image, and a flurry of social posts that may mark a lasting pivot in her biography. According to Statesman Journal and other regional outlets, JoJo's three‑night JoJo Siwa Cruise sailed June 12–15 aboard Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas out of Port Canaveral, Florida, marketed as the “ultimate fan experience” with dance parties, meet‑and‑greets, and exclusive performances.[Statesman Journal / Detroit Free Press] The voyage has stayed in headlines because fans paid up to several thousand dollars for cabins, and as Yahoo Entertainment and AOL report, the cruise gift bags went viral after passengers complained the merch looked cheap and possibly AI‑generated, sparking broader criticism of celebrity monetization and branding.[Yahoo Entertainment / AOL / CafeMom] CafeMom adds that fans on social media accused designs in the bags of being AI‑generated, a claim not yet conclusively proven but widely discussed in pop‑culture forums; that falls into the realm of strong speculation rather than verified fact. BuzzFeed's weekly pop‑culture news quiz this week highlights the ticket price controversy as one of the key entertainment stories, effectively cementing the cruise episode as a notable chapter in JoJo's career and in the narrative of celebrity fandom economics.[BuzzFeed] On Instagram and TikTok, JoJo has been leaning into her “bad girl era,” an aesthetic shift away from her earlier child‑star persona, with fan accounts noting how this rebrand is reshaping public perception of her as an adult pop figure rather than a kids' icon.[Instagram fan commentary] That long‑term image transition is likely to be biographically significant, framing this period as a conscious effort to redefine her career. Meanwhile, JoJo's own TikTok and Facebook activity has stayed high: she shared cruise content, thanked fans for coming to her “yap sesh” live hangouts, and promoted new music tied to the event, including premieres of songs and videos teased by creators who “investigated” the cruise experience on YouTube and TikTok.[JoJo Siwa Facebook / TikTok creators] These posts reinforce her strategy of staying directly connected to fans even as criticism swirls, a pattern that may define how she navigates controversy going forward.

On today's episode we are sharing about our upcoming agency meeting to Orlando and discussing the merits of a VIP tour in the parks!

Port Canaveral advances a $95 million upgrade of Cruise Terminal 10 — expanding security and luggage handling, fixing the trench-drain failures that caused sinkholes, and readying the building for ships up to 6,700 guests like Disney Wish and MSC Seashore — as the record-setting homeport handles 8.6 million passenger movements a year. And Holland America expands its Single Barrel Series to 13 bourbons and ryes in the Ocean Bar, from Blanton's and Weller to WhistlePig, sourcing collector-grade barrels straight from distilleries alongside its Jefferson's ocean-aging program.

We went all-in on a Disney Cruise Line experiment: a pre-cruise reset at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, then a four-day Disney Fantasy sailing with Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, and a sea day that tested our patience and our snack limits. Between Trader Sam's, pool fireworks, and a surprisingly emotional “goodbye” lap around Walt Disney World, the trip already felt like a turning point before we even reached Port Canaveral.Once we board, it turns into a real-world guide to cruising with a family: the early-morning luggage pickup that can spark a panic, how to fix rotational dining conflicts the minute you connect to ship Wi-Fi, and what's actually worth prioritizing when the ship feels huge. We compare the main dining rooms, talk honestly about buffet highs and lows, and explain why Palo is absolutely worth budgeting time and money for if you want a true date-night meal. We also share our favorite relaxation “hack” on the Disney Fantasy: using the Rainforest Room showers to skip the tiny stateroom setup.Then it's island time. We break down what makes Castaway Cay feel perfectly curated for families, why Lookout Cay feels more like the Bahamas with real waves and Junkanoo energy, and how a kayak fishing excursion off Disney property became one of the most memorable moments of the whole sailing. We wrap with what we loved, what we didn't, whether we'd cruise again, and why this trip might be the end of our Disney travel era for a while.
