I asked the universe for a sign that I was on the right path... and then came 11:11, Sharpshooter, and a freaking dragonfly.

Episode 277: Life Update, Retreat Reflections, and Spicy Riffs I'm sharing a candid, unscripted update after returning from my coach Amber Lilyestrom's retreat in New Hampshire. I reflect on the spaciousness in my life now that all three of my girls are in school, the paradox of wanting to fill open time, and how my relationship with business has shifted from a destination to a navigational journey. I explore conscious creation, the role of contrast, why AI can't replace human coaching, and ultimately circle back to the question: What do you want your life to be about?

We go rummaging through the cultural attic, starting with TV theme songs from the ’80s and ’90s—the kind that apparently occupied permanent brain space while more practical information was evicted. That leads us to movies, music, horror franchises, familiar actors, and the peculiar nostalgia that makes an old theme song instantly recognizable decades later. Then somebody famous dies, and the internet demonstrates that grief is also a competitive event. We get into the rush to update Wikipedia, the speed of celebrity death reporting, and the emotional connection people have to entertainers they knew only through screens and speakers. From there, we turn to pets in stores and other public spaces, where the old rules of pet etiquette seem to be undergoing negotiations. We also take on modern art and the argument over whether it reflects cultural decay, confuses the purpose of art, or simply gives everybody something else to argue about. Finally, we arrive at dental visits and appointment scheduling, because everyday life remains a dependable source of comedy without requiring a screenplay.

This riff session is different. We explore the deconstruction of faith among contemporary Christian artists, the nature of truth in religion, and the cultural shifts affecting Christianity today. We analyze how modern spiritual beliefs diverge from traditional doctrines and what that means for believers and skeptics alike. Avowed 'Atheists' aren't really relevant in theological conversations anymore. The atheists have revealed the emptiness of their religion. The 'New Atheist' is the deconstructed Christian. Topics Deconstruction of faith among Christian artists The concept of Jesus as the light and vessel for truth The cultural and theological reasons behind faith abandonment The exclusivity of Jesus as the only way to God The influence of secular and other religious beliefs on Christianity The role of organized religion and its changes over history The importance of defining terms like 'Christian' and 'follower of Jesus' The impact of political and social issues on religious identity

A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan — Episode Notes Episode: 888 - "Nuttin's Gon' Change, No One Does S***" (Friday free show) Hosts: Dan, Tom | Guest: comedian Ross McCoy Sponsors / Ad Reads My Eternal Vitality (Dr. Powers) — opening segment, interview with Andrea Dennis about her weight loss (down ~30 of a 40-lb goal), hormone replacement therapy, and microdosing GLP-1s since March; plans to stop in Sept/Oct. Jeff's Bagel Run — plugging the new limited-edition cucumber dill cream cheese; free bagel for downloading the app. Hollerbach's German Restaurant (Sanford) — pitched as a venue for fantasy football drafts ($30/person: beer, pretzels, charcuterie, dedicated draft TV); also books their "Night's Hall" for parties/events. Bearcat (promo code BDM420) — cannabis product ad. Segment Rundown Cold open / ad — Andrea Dennis interview on HRT and GLP-1 microdosing (see above). Show open — Ross McCoy intro'd as guest; bit about Ross shaving/mowing the lawn in the heat. Business/announcements — Studio "pinball meet and greet" event coming up (very limited tickets, announced last-minute); Andrew (the "pinball dude") adding more machines; Pizza Bruno sponsoring food, White Claw sponsoring drinks; framed as a fundraiser for a new app/website they're building. Tangent: lambskin condoms — Riff sparked by mishearing "chic" as a brand name; potted history of the "Sheik" condom brand (named after the 1921 Valentino film, marketed for disease prevention since birth-control marketing was illegal), plus a long bit about what lambskin condoms are actually made from. Voicemail: cousin Gary (from Texas) — Dale's older brother; called in after hearing Dale had called the show. Reminisced about Dan's late father and uncle Doug ("the funniest fuckers ever"), said Dan looks/sounds more like Uncle Doug than his own dad. Dan reflects on losing touch with Virginia family after his dad died, and on reconnecting now. Gary left a callback number and invited a visit/get-together. Health aside — Dan discusses recent heart workup: calcium score of zero, clean echo, no chamber enlargement — good news after some health scares that have him "rethinking a lot of relationships." News: Amelia Earhart — Discussion of the Nikumaroro Island "castaway theory" (a freckle-cream jar and heat-damaged glass found near an old campfire site); Purdue University's Legacy Institute sending an expedition to the island October 7, chasing a satellite anomaly thought to be her Lockheed Electra. Tangent: unsolved mysteries — MH370, giant rich-guy experimental planes that vanish, Alcatraz escapees (the "Escape from Alcatraz" pair), Billy the Kid death theories, ancient/pyramid conspiracy stuff, DB Cooper, and a long detour into Jeffrey Epstein death conspiracy theories — including the viral story about an Epstein-linked email tied to a Fortnite account ("Little St. Jeff1") that resurfaced in released files. Coal-mining oddities — Time-Life "Mysteries of the Unknown" book bit (frog found inside a lump of coal, petrified tree stump found underground); Centralia, PA mine fire mentioned as a real, "solved" phenomenon (not a mystery, just still burning). News: cemetery "niche" robberies — Three Central Florida suspects at large for breaking into cemetery niches (small mausoleum lockers holding cremains) and stealing ~$30,000 in jewelry/valuables. Long bit ranking this on a "scale of crimes" (near the bottom, close to victimless). Reddit story tangent — A woman discovered her late mother's belongings (rare rock-photography prints of Skynyrd, Tom Petty, etc.) being resold at Orlando's Thrift Con after her storage unit was auctioned off; she's trying to track down the buyer. Break plug — Ross McCoy's comedy show, "What Do You Want From Us" Moe Comedy Jam at the Funny Bone, October 17; tickets on sale "early next month." Caller: "Concrete Mike" — Grave-robbing story from his younger days selling magazines with a traveling group; friends back home (while he was on the road) robbed cemetery mausoleums for jewelry to fund LSD, made national news, several went to prison. Segues into a long string of acid-trip stories (Twister movie premiere, Walmart at 2:30am, etc.). Discussion: leaving Florida — Sparked by a BDM (fan community) thread; framed around Jordan Foley's farewell show that night at Will's Pub (moving to a small town near Nashville). Debate over whether people who don't actually use Florida's beaches/outdoors amenities should just move somewhere cheaper; examples cited include Dan's niece Daisy moving to Georgia, and general "normal American" suburban living not being tied to location once remote work is factored in. House-demolition story — Dan describes watching a neighboring house get fully demolished by an excavator crew in 58 minutes; tangent into the "McMansion" trend replacing old Florida houses on his street, and permit rules requiring a percentage of original walls to remain standing. Wrap-up / plugs — Teased "big" announcements (a possible at-sea event and a land-based event) to be revealed on Monday's BDM show (fan membership show, sign up at tomandan.com). Sign-off. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Tonight: Jordan Foley's farewell show, Will's Pub (~6:30–7:30pm), before his move near Nashville, TN. Tomorrow: Real Radio poker tournament (Dan playing). October 7: Purdue-led expedition departs for Nikumaroro Island (Amelia Earhart search). October 17: Ross McCoy's "What Do You Want From Us" comedy show at the Funny Bone (tickets on sale early Sept). Monday: BDM (fan club) show — event announcements plus continued "Mysteries of the Unknown" book bit. Upcoming ("next week" as of recording): Studio pinball meet-and-greet, sponsored by Pizza Bruno and White Claw. Notable Guests/Callers Andrea Dennis — on-couch interview guest (weight loss/HRT segment). Ross McCoy — in-studio guest, Orlando comedian. Gary (cousin from Texas, Dale's older brother) — voicemail. "Concrete Mike" — phone-in caller with the grave-robbing/acid story. ### 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/@tomanddanlive Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/tomanddan ACT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/61976/rss AMT RSS: https://feeds.libsyn.com/18904/rss

We cover a lot of important ground in this episode, assuming your definition of “important” includes pets behaving like tiny freeloading roommates, rock musicians attempting to communicate with the International Space Station, and comedians discovering that technically any location becomes a comedy club if somebody puts a microphone in it. We talk about the strange bargain of pet ownership, the glorious excess of rock concerts, and what happens when comedy escapes the controlled environment of an actual comedy club. Along the way, we get into audience interaction, stories from onstage and backstage, and the mysterious way music can unite a room full of strangers without requiring anyone to understand what the drummer is doing. Our conclusion: music really is its own language, performers should enjoy themselves when they play, and most shows are just “a show.” Unless something goes terribly wrong. Then you have a story.

Something might come up for you in this episode. That's the whole point.In this episode of Shed & Shine, Gino takes a different approach. He starts with the traditional framework from Shine and walks you through all four levels. Not to explain it. To make something surface.Then he flips it entirely. Instead of digging down to find the block, he takes you up. To your highest True Self. Pure light, full presence, vibrating at the top level. And at that height, the theory goes, the blocks can't hold on. They just fall away. Your True Self wants your blocks gone. This episode might be the nudge it needs.

Send us Fan Mail This week on Riffs & Rhythms, Paul Robertson and Kevin McLoughlin welcome Fox Maple back to the show for one of the funniest—and most thought-provoking—episodes yet. Fox opens up about spending nearly four years creating the record, why some songs have been waiting more than a decade to be released, how life experiences shaped the album's darker tone, and why sometimes you simply have to stop chasing perfection and let the music go.  Along the way, the conversation dives into:

Miley Cyrus might not live in Penrith, but thanks to her mum's marriage to Dominic Purcell, she's officially got a connection to the Riff. Ricki and Tim ask listeners why they're fiercely proud of their suburb, and Penrith locals make a pretty convincing case with riverside walks, great food and plenty of local pride. Plus, Tim considers getting his suburb tattooed on himself, while Ricki wonders if it's finally time to spend a day exploring Sydney's fastest-growing hotspot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are few things that get Riff as excited as getting to introduce Bael to a new Bible character. This week, meet Rizpah. Don't know the name? That's unsurprising, but also unacceptable. Join the guys as they give some flowers to this deserving character. Join us! 

This is our 100th riff session! To celebrate, we're including this sentence announcing our 100th riff session! The conversation starts with an unexpectedly serious debate over the difference between tin whistles, recorders, and the people who insist on using the correct musical terminology, revealing that musicians have an entire vocabulary devoted to preventing anyone from casually calling the wrong instrument a flute. That attention to detail quickly collides with stories about orchestras, concert etiquette, and the realization that some instruments carry far more cultural prestige than others, despite all of them ultimately requiring someone to blow into them. From there, the focus shifts behind the curtain of television and concert auditions, where the advertised search for raw talent turns out to involve a surprising amount of pre-screening, strategic casting, and carefully managed storytelling. Then into memories of buying concert tickets before everything moved online. Waiting in line becomes its own form of live theater, producing strange conversations, questionable life decisions, and the shared optimism that standing outside for hours is perfectly reasonable if it eventually leads to decent seats. The same perspective extends to modern stage productions, where even legendary bands rely on lighting, effects, and carefully engineered spectacle that is seems to treat music as kind of an afterthought. The discussion eventually drifts back to childhood, when entertainment required little more than a box containing pickup sticks, a Spirograph, or some other object that encouraged creativity instead of software updates. Those toys become reminders that entire afternoons could disappear without batteries, Wi-Fi, or downloadable content, even if the rules occasionally ended with someone insisting everyone else was playing incorrectly.

We imagine a streaming program to offer terrible advice and make mention of product ideas so gloriously vague that “Quattro Dog” exists. We swap stories about improvisation, audience engagement, and why the internet keeps rewarding people who commit completely to absurd ideas, especially if they happen to be named Burnt Peanut. We also compare memory techniques, laughing at how ridiculous mental images and emotional reactions often outperform serious study. We poke fun at “limited supply” marketing claims, question the habits of consumer culture, and discover that the same delight in the ridiculous connects bad advice, unforgettable names, and products nobody asked for but everyone wants to talk about.

Remember when summer meant going outside because your parents were tired of looking at you? Juan and John do. In this episode, they reminisce about growing up in Florida, where the official state sport is sweating through your clothes before breakfast. They recall marathon games of kickball, wiffle ball, and the kind of heat that would make today's weather apps issue a dramatic warning. Juan even shares the engineering marvel he and his brother invented: a blanket tent over an air-conditioning vent that transformed a double-wide trailer into what they believed was the North Pole. Along the way, they wonder when surviving the summer went from being a childhood pastime to a liability waiver. They also wander into the surprisingly passionate debate over air conditioning, including why much of Europe spent decades treating it like an unnecessary luxury—right up until the atmosphere apparently decided to become soup. It's a funny trip back to a time when the cure for being overheated was drinking from a garden hose and then heading right back outside.
