The Complete Guide to Everything

Questions about branding? You've come to the right place. This week we're talking about rebranding efforts: Radio Shack, Pizza Hut, Dr. Pepper and a bunch of other brands have switched things up in a misguided attempt to appeal to young folks, and all of them paid a terrible price for doing so. Can we rebrand The Complete Guide to Everything to appeal to a new, hip audience? But first, Tom takes a magical trip to a new McDonalds with a magical touch screen.Also, we solve a problem from a listener with a co-worker who is a boring drunk.For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon!Like the show?

There's a blizzard a-comin'! As we prepare for the biggest snow storm to hit NYC in decades, we're talking all things snow: childhood memories, panicked rushes on the supermarkets for bread and milk, and building disappointing snowmen. We also come up with a foolproof plan to avoid snowstorms altogether in the future. And in a new installment of Tim and Tom Solve Your Problems, we help out a chef who can't seem to keep her subordinates out of jail.For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon!Like the show?

This week we’re talkin’ glasses. It turns out they’re not just for nerds anymore because now Tom needs them too. Mostly this is just an episode where Tom complains, first about the Post Office, then about the process of getting an eye exam and buying glasses. Also, Tim answers a lot of Tom’s burning questions about the ins and outs of glasses ownership. Then at the very end we talk about how everyone admirable has been dying lately and it’s really sad.This episode is brought to you by Loot Crate.
