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.

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. They talk about launching Kathie Lee & Hoda, Brian's unexpected pivot from TV exec to napkin entrepreneur, and how midlife "menopause" (for men) is real. 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.

Tom makes an appearance on the Elvis Duran Show hosting the "Topic Train".  Thought I'd give a little exclusive clip to my "audio listener" friends.
