You can't outrun a mummy, or endless sequels - #2991

4/17/2026
Top Gun, Star Wars, and Toy Story continue to chug along. But even older than that is The Mummy. The first one was in 1932, and we're still being chased by it. According to Tim, the most recent one is certainly a different take on the genre. If you liked The Exorcist, you'll probably like this.

CROW was from the 60s so you know it's not AI - #2990

4/16/2026
Disney is laying everyone off, TMZ is in the blackmail business, and voiceovers are all AI. Is anything okay in the entertainment industry? Yes: classic rock. There's a reason it's been called "classic" since about five years after it started. Larry Wiegand was a member of CROW, so he'll tell you all about it.

Who says N*SYNC isn't Rock and Roll? - #2988

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees have been announced. Once again, the boy bands we all love have been snubbed. It's really tearin' up my heart.

Tony Price is back for his 71st Gold Star Ride. He also brings smooth jazz wherever he goes, apparently. The nice thing about hearing him tell his story on our show is that you don't have to pay a monthly fee to do so. Speaking of which, have you checked your subscriptions lately?

Something very bad is on TV - #2986

What do ketamine, Parkinson's, and 80s radio have in common? Today's episode! - #2985

4/9/2026
The Ketamine Queen has been sentenced. Hers was not a light sentence. Somehow this segued into Parkinson's and Michael J Fox, who's had the disease for over 35 years now. And speaking of things that lasted forever, Tom's 40th anniversary of the KQ morning show is later this month. What a perfect opportunity to reminisce.

Gelfand returns from his busy day of pizza and horses - #2984

4/8/2026
Some people retire and that's it. They're done doing things. Some people retire and end up roped into more activities than ever before. Personally, I hope to be the former, but it's rarely up to you how your life turns out. But no matter who you are, there's always pizza.

Humans haven't passed the Van Allen radiation belt in over 50 years. In a few days, that changes. But that's just boring old space travel.

Is the fence around Mar-a-Lago made of gold? - #2981

4/1/2026
Tom and Kathryn were at Mar-a-Lago last night. What's it like in there? Gaudy? Yes, gaudy. We also have Ben Simon, owner of Shed and Fence on. Our listeners had a surprising volume of fence-related questions for him. Maybe if he sells enough fences he can afford one of those $20,000,000 condos in West Palm Beach. But that's a lot of fences.

Bob's got a new project: interviewing Tom. Every Tuesday, he'll be asking questions and fielding some from the audience. The ultimate goal is to compile a book's worth of answers. How long that'll take, who knows? Probably less time than it'll take to finish Grey's Anatomy.

3/30/2026
Tiger Woods rolled his car again. Was he under the influence, or is he just a really bad driver? We can't say for sure, but we can certainly infer. We can also pine for the good old days of terrible local television. It wasn't all terrible, but in West Palm Beach there was a period where the overall quality was...lacking.

Ellen Jacoby: Casting Director Extraordinaire (and backgammon player) - #2976

3/25/2026
She's been on film sets across the country. She's been partially in the space shuttle. She's even been to the Pompano Beach dump. This is the life one leads as a casting director. And now that Sora is winding down and Disney isn't putting a billion dollars into replacing actors with AI, it would appear the position is safe. Everybody wins.

Jude survived his surgery yesterday, and as a bonus Kathryn got to keep the bladder stones. Apparently they're not as gross as you'd imagine.

Listener support and remembering Philip and Dave - #2974

3/23/2026
On Friday, Tom announced his Alzheimer's. Since then, we've gotten approximately one billion comments. Maybe slightly fewer. We read and appreciate all of them - the ones that are nice anyway. But you know what isn't nice? Outliving your friends. Today we also remember Philip Wise and Dave Waggoner, whose deaths we learned about in the past couple of days. We also touch on the Jessie Pierce house fire. All in all, not a good week.
