Long Island's 12 Worst Parking Lots As Determined By Tom Kelly Show viewers. Tom Kelly and Steve Burger react. Plus a tasting the coffee at Merrick's Coffee Barn.

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.
