152 - Tom Goes to the Mayor
The lads get photocopied and make their way to Jefferton, alive, as they cover Tim and Eric’s Adult Swim debut: Tom Goes to the Mayor. Topics include the origins of Tim and Eric, their many innovations to comedy, and the prescience of a show that predicted A.I. with a calcucorn.

1:17:00 sounds like a Nostalgia Critic cameo
I'm one of the 12 people this was for. This was ab-so-lute-ly wonderful--thank you, even if you did disrespect Gibbons by not including him.
so sad to hear 12 oz. mouse being disrespected
Pella, IA mentioned 💪
I can't believe there was a Jaarsma/ Van Der Ploeg joke in this
Great episode, also loved Josh's rant about AI. 10/10
Johnny would still have those hands if he had purchased Coy-NO-tee, the world's leading coyote repellent, made by the product geniuses at CINCO. Edit: Also, as someone who researches AI, I can confirm that Josh's rant is on point. It's all a house of cards, if the cards were made of Sam Altman's freshest nasal drippings dried and pressed with the greatest care.
“I was nervous because I thought they were just going to be doing a bit the entire time.” Kind of sounds like how I feel about this podcast sometimes.
Really sad no one's selling calcucorns out there
Awesome show, great job!
Honestly I thought from seeing Tom and Mayor in the title we were going to back odyssey lol. My brain has been poisoned. (Re-poisoned?)
I really want you guys to watch the Andy Milonakis Show, I had a friend who was really into it. I remember the DVD had a commentary track from the critics who ripped it to shreds in his review. He spent the whole time hating it and confused why they paid him to do it. It's a lot of awkward anti-humor.
When you had mentioned that part of Tim and Eric's schoolwork had been about how VHS is superior to DVD, that instantly made me think of another Tim Heidecker project, On Cinema. A big part of cohost/"special guest" Gregg Turkington's whole shtick is that despite being a self proclaimed movie buff, he's weirdly emphatic on VHS being the superior format to DVD. Like with Spaghett, it's interesting to see T&E dip into their ouvre to produce something new
Jan and Wayne Skylar provoke the same reaction from me as the American tourists in Sunday in the Park with George, i.e. beaming and cheering "I love their love" periodically whenever they're on screen. King & queen, living deliciously, matching each others' freak, &c.
Gary Busey's cameo as the wrestling coach is seared into my brain.
When’s the Little Nemo episode coming out?
