Trevor DeBlase from the legendary Keller Williams real estate team in Franklin Square, Long Island and comedian Tom Kelly dig into the real stuff nobody tells you about moving from NYC to Long Island — the language, the roads, the neighborhoods, the sirens that sound like the zombie apocalypse, and why Long Islanders give directions like you're supposed to know every street name.

The first in-studio podcast of 2026 kicks off with reflection, rebellion, and one perfectly unhinged act of digital chaos. In this episode of The Tom Kelly Show, Tom talks about: *Turning five years of podcasting into joy again *How success can quietly kill creativity *Why doing things just for fun works better than chasing virality *His most viral subway moment (and why it happened by accident) *Gently rebelling against authority, tradition, and himself *And finally… hitting "Reply All" on a stranger's holiday email newsletter

Tom Kelly goes into further detail why he feels the comedian Porkchop was wrong to steal his premise about Massapequa Moms. Tom may not own the word Massapequa, Mom, or Facebook groups. But if you are a comedian and all you know a topic is from a comedian friend . . . you can't use that as a bit. And definitely can't post it online. - On a happier note Tom Kelly and Steve Burger go to DJ Chef's Bachelorette Influencer Event on Long Island - Plus: Tom and Steve Burger play a game: What is that an Amazon review for? 

Is he the Soup Nazi of Long Island pizza… or the working man's anti-hero? 🍕 Tom heads to Phil's Pizza of Syosset, Long Island to sit down with Anthony Lorino—the guy behind those viral "no-nonsense pizza man" Instagram clips with millions of views. Anthony's rants about napkin hoarders, Yelp trolls, and people who don't have any common sense as his videos have become unexpected therapy for anyone who's ever worked in customer service. But behind the attitude is a smart small-business owner who built a monster social media following from scratch at 53, learned how to edit his own videos, and now preaches one simple message: your content has to come from the heart.

Two broken wrists and two microphones! Comedian Adam Gabel (@AJGabel) joins for an impromptu show. Adam runs "Not Ripe Bananas" — a Tuesday night workout room at West Side Comedy Club that gives comedians a place to take risks, try new material, and place where comics can bomb with purpose. We get honest about joke failures, the open mic grind, crowd work as a crutch, the myth of "killing," and why creativity demands an audience that's willing to sit through imperfection. There's also a Rockville Centre roast, an Annette Funicello reference (!), and the most self-deprecating hospital story on the internet. If you've ever tried to create something new — comedy, music, a post, a life — this episode is for you.

Feeling stuck between heartbreak, taxes, and Fourth of July fireworks? You're not alone. In this brutally honest, hilariously ranty "manifesto edition" of The Tom Kelly Show, Tom vents from the car—unfiltered, raw, and maybe a little unhinged (but in a charming way). From missed connections to canceled gigs, parking tickets, and patriotism gone sideways, Tom opens up about what's really been eating at him. 🔥 If you've ever had a plan fall apart, a date ghost you, or questioned why you still live in NYC...this one's for you.

Tom Kelly is joined by his high school friend Daniela Anastasio for a hilarious and deeply relatable conversation that covers everything from waxed wooden floors and awkward Instagram attention to childhood memories, cancel culture, and the glamorous but weird truth about life on Long Island. The duo dives into hot takes on the Hamptons, explores the Merman Era of Tom's life, and discusses how confidence (even in your weirdest body parts) might be the ultimate turn-on. It's honest, nostalgic, a little tipsy, and full of those "did-they-just-say-that?" moments that make this podcast feel like you're hanging out with your funniest old friends. 

Tom travels to Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, to visit friend and fellow reinvention expert Brian Balthazar — former HGTV executive, Today Show producer, stand-up comic, and co-host of Human vs. Hamster on Max.

This episode is full of unexpected career turns, heartfelt confessions, and the kind of laughs that come from two friends who have seen behind the curtain of fame... and lived to tell about it.
