900 - Ookie Cookie

A Mediocre Time with Tom and Dan - Episode Notes Episode: "Friday Free Show #900"

Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (Orlando comedian)

Sponsors / Ad Reads BudDocs.org (Dr. Chanlatte): Florida medical marijuana recommendations. You see him in person once, then telemedicine after that, and renewals are handled by text/email. Pricing: transfer patients $99, existing $125, new $175. Locations in Lake Mary, Hunters Creek, Tampa and Melbourne. He hand-curates "Bud Deals," dispensary deals that can save up to 60%. If you don't qualify, you don't pay, and same-day appointments are available. Opened with a short tangent about robotic AI voices in ads. Just Call Moe: Named as the studio sponsor ("Injured on the Go, Just Call Moe studio") and thanked for underwriting Beerfest. Don Mealey Chevrolet (Clermont): Red Tag sale on Equinox and Silverado. End of year is a good time to buy because they're clearing room for new inventory. Ask for JC Harrelson, general sales manager, and say you're a Tom and Dan listener. They've advertised with the show for nearly 12 years. Chevy link on tomanddan.com. The Pinball Dudes (ThePinballDudes.net): The new Stern Fallout machine is in the studio lobby. Pinball rental for $350/month, with Andrew setting it up and swapping in a new machine every quarter. Pitched as a gift or a conversation piece for a business. Andrew's cell: 321-591-1062. Beerfest sponsors thanked on air: Just Call Moe, Modern Plumbing Industries, Jeff's Bagel Run, PyroSpot Fireworks, The Pinball Dudes, plus a nod to Dr. Powers for helping out. Segment Rundown Show 900 milestone: The hosts mark Friday Free Show #900 and figure show 1,000 should land around the show's 20th anniversary in 2029. A crude "fit them in" tangent follows. Beerfest 2026 plug: Bad at Business Beerfest is Nov 21 in Sanford with 28+ breweries. Melissa posted the pouring list. Six live bands are booked, including Gary Laser Eyes, Stony Fools and Lady Ebor, with The Super Villains doing the after-party plus late-night karaoke (spellings as transcribed). The footprint is one street smaller this year to save money, but there's more on the bill. Dan admits six months ago he was sure it wouldn't happen because costs had gotten so high. Free sample cups and wristbands start at noon (21+, bring ID). Also: 500 gift bags with a chance to win thousands, food trucks and vendors, and no fence. They joke about $150 VIP tickets at other fests. Sofas and Suds memories: Sofas and Suds couch races
