Big Wayne returns and the fellas debrief a workplace roast that somehow dodged HR… barely. Tom admits he wrote jokes he can “legally defend,” Wayne swears by the sacred rule of roasts, and one unnamed coworker narrowly avoids getting “to the moon.” Then sports emotions run high: Clayton Kershaw’s farewell has Wayne in his feelings about loyalty, one-team legends, and missed chances. The Pick’em chaos continues (Vegas knows; we don’t), parlays die heroic deaths, and a kickoff turns into a cautionary tale. Finally, tech meets real life as the guys ponder AirPods that live-translate, perfect for nail salons and thick country drawls, before swapping Southern vocabulary lessons: “wallered out,” “crunked the car,” and other linguistic masterpieces. Tom closes with a big life update after 17 years at the same gig. It’s nostalgia, nonsense, and North Central Florida charm—wallered together just right.

New episode! Tom unleashes a full-tilt rant on football’s ad invasion, Brandon tells the story of finding his buddy after a 3-flip truck wreck, and we relive the great prank wars (vinegar ice, anyone?). Plus Week 1 college football takes and Pick’em chaos. Listen now—before the next replay is “brought to you by” somebody.

Talking Points

• A moment of care: September is Suicide Prevention Month (988 resource mention).
• Tom’s “ad-ocalypse” tantrum: branded bowls, sponsored downs, and LED distraction rings.
• Sunday Ticket vs. RedZone: why the switch and does it help?
• Brandon’s 5 a.m. emergency: locating a friend after a triple-flip crash; ER frustration.
• Tom’s 100-mph Nova story and the “spirit of Henry Ford.”
• Week 1 reactions: Miami’s nail-biter, FSU statements, Bama/Notre Dame notes.
• Pick’em League: getting picks in, tiebreaker heartbreaks.
• Prank Hall of Fame: the “call Tom for elevator access” frame, vinegar ice cubes, pledge-of-allegiance meeting kickoff.
• When pranks go too far: the April Fools text that almost sparked a showdown.
• Closing: moms mending, friends recovering, NFL Week 1 hype.

The boys are back! After a few weeks of missed rides, busted four-wheelers, and life getting in the way, Tom and Brandon reunite for a wild catch up. Brandon tells the whole story of a “normal” ride that turned into clogged radiators, flashing blue lights, FWC drones, surprise tickets, and even his mama rolling an ankle under a truck (while also checking the ball joints, of course).

From there, it’s everything from Tesla self-driving tantrums to shady “up to 40% off” sales, Lowe’s discount gripes, and TikTok games. In other words: classic In-Law & the Out-Law.

Buckle up and hold onto your Arby’s combo (not a sponsor) this one’s a doozy. On this week’s In-Law and the Outlaw, Tom kicks things off with his Weekly Tantrum™ about how TV went from free to $200 a month and still has commercials. Brandon reminisces about the good ol’ days of illegal streaming and legal cussing. We dive into the streaming service rabbit hole, then slide right into conspiracy theories about Balloon Boy.

Also: public indecency at sunrise, citizen’s arrests powered by gas money, country coupons, and Brandon goin’ full WWE on customer service phone trees. If you've ever yelled “representative!” into a phone like it's a demon summoning spell, this one’s for you.

Now excuse us while we try to watch one episode of Married With Children without selling a kidney for Paramount+.

This week on In-Law and the Outlaw, it’s Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Keith Whitley, Aldi vs. Publix, coupon vs. cue-pon, and men vs. basic tools. Tom tries to attach a bush hog and somehow ends up emotionally broken at Ace Hardware, and reviews an album so fast it ends before he finishes two emails.

Also: we launch a new segment where we butcher the English language with style...Jimisms...featuring classics like “come home to Jesus” and “food to think about.” Meanwhile, gas prices are high, milk is higher, and lawnmowers are dying like flies in a bug zapper.

It’s educational. It’s emotional. It’s a violation of grammar law. Tune in now because you deserve to hear two men spiral over a socket wrench.

In this unexpected and delightfully chaotic episode of The In-Law and the Outlaw, Tom’s usual co-host, and son-in-law, Brandon is MIA thanks to his human blender of a work schedule. Filling in? Tom’s daughter...and Brandon’s better (and far more organized) half: Tori.

Join Tom and Tori as they unpack:

• Life with a man whose diet is 80% Uncrustables and 20% dino nuggets
• How to love a blue-collar guy who works nights, days, and presumably interdimensional shifts
• The country store that doubles as a burger joint, detergent aisle, and deer feed emporium
• Keith Whitley’s album Miami, My Amy - which Tom thought was just a bad pronunciation
• Why going to your ex’s family’s Thanksgiving isn’t weird...unless you make it weird

Plus: shoutouts to Becca’s pepper jelly empire, the shame of overcooking fish sticks, and what it really means to plan a vacation when no one can commit until 24 hours beforehand.
