That Guy and The Kid Max Walters and Tom Garnett

Did you miss us? We recorded this show back in September, clearly Max has been slacking on editing. Tom catches us up on the move; he actually bought a boat, mower and truck and is fitting in with the community like a glove. He’s got a new job as a chef at a private club and he has become somewhat of a mentor to his co workers. Tom gets into the major differences between the south and California, most notably the fact that the south produces things people actually need which leads into Max and Tom talking about a demolition derby they visited where there wasn’t a mask in sight. They mention the drought in Santa Barbara and the staggering amount of water in the Carolinas. Tom talks about a Nascar race he saw at Darlington Raceway. They then get into covid for a while, because what else is there to talk about, and eventually politics. Lastly Max mentions the trip he took from North Carolina to New Hampshire. This is That Guy And The Kid - Ep 10.

This week we have Tom’s fraternal twin brother John on and we talk everything from the brothers' old days back in high school to surfing to music. Oh yea, and we have a new president. We talk his inauguration and how it was probably a good thing that Trump wasn’t there. We then go on a long environmental tangent about fracking and our dependence on natural gas. We give our obligatory COVID update and speculate about what mask mandates Biden might enforce in the future. We then talk the Garnett childhood some more. Tom and John tell a story about selling homemade skateboards at school which leads into a conversation about the kinds of music they were into in the late 70s to mid 80s, including some concert stories. We then talk about stick shift cars and how Max still doesn’t know how to drive stick. Finally, John gives his two cents about Tom moving away. This is That Guy and The Kid Ep 09.

Tom and Max open the show talking about how the recent heat wave is like Santa Barbara taunting him now that he’s leaving. We then talk about the struggling businesses during this pandemic and how China is putting people in camps who have covid. Tom is a couple weeks out from heading East and he gives us an update on how that's going. We then give some more updates about the Capitol raid that happened the week prior which leads into a discussion about the petition to remove Trump from Home Alone 2. This leads into a conversation about streaming content in general and specifically the Netflix show, Cobra Kai. We talk an article about how Cobra Kai isn’t woke enough for the new age. This moves back into a discussion about China and whether America is on the verge of a war with them. Then we talk about cold weather vs hot weather and how people in hotter climates seem to have it easier. Tom talks about the buyer of his home who happens to be the son of a pretty legendary bartender in town. He then talks about what used to be Santa Barbara’s most popular bar Joe’s and how insanely packed it always was. We then banter about the driving do’s and don’t’s for a while. Everything from when to not pass people to what to do when someone is tailgating you. Tom then talks about the single cab F 150 we plans to get in North Carolina as well as some other plans for when he heads over there. Lastly we tease next week’s episode and a special guest we have planned. This is That Guy and the Kid - Ep 08. Go follow us on instagram: @ThatGuyAndTheKid

We’re back! Happy New Year everyone. Tom and Max start by talking about the new COVID vaccines and which logo would look best as a tattoo. They then talk about Tom’s plan to move to the east coast in which Tom makes quite a good case for leaving California. This moves into a discussion about the future of That Guy and The Kid and how we will continue the show remotely. This of course takes us into a conversation about COVID, because so does everything these days, and how poorly essential workers seem to be treated by anti maskers. They then discuss the seemingly pointless right wing raid on the Capitol Building and how it didn’t really accomplish anything . This goes into a discussion about the education system and how COVID has ruined that too. We get a little stoned and start drifting by the end and talk a bit more about Tom’s big move and the major differences between the East Coast and California. This is That Guy and The Kid Ep - 07.

Tom on Rachel Ray  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeo9G_pwZ5U Tom starts by talking about his appearance on $40 a Day with Rachel Ray which leads him to talk about his past experience in the restaurant business and culinarily school. The guys then talk about how rent in Santa Barbara has doubled and wages have only gone up around 50% which leads into a conversation about how people don’t have as many kids these days as they used to so they can save money. This moves into a discussion about long term tasks vs short and which ones we excel at more. We then talk about Thanksgiving and whether or not it should be a day of “mourning.” We then discuss some news and things that Tom feels should be reported on more like car bombings in the Middle East. We then plunge into a talk about the Tyson Exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr and our thoughts on it. The guys then spark a joint and talk about how the whole exhibition event was consumed by weed. They then talk about how big athletes like Mike Tyson and Michael Jordan aren’t really a thing anymore so we keep bringing back the old guys. Max brings up the wings he bought for the fight which makes us go on a long tangent about chicken in general and why the wings I bought for the show aren't really "wings."

The first thing Max and Tom talk about is the new AC/DC album, Power Up and how similar it is to Back in Black. This then goes into a discussion about how kids don’t have loud stereos anymore and it has all moved to playing things from iPhone speakers and streaming services, moving into a talk about how the huge change of music seen in the past few decades may have influenced the change in the way people listen to music and vise versa. Tom then brags about his car stereo and regales a story about how he flipped his car. The guys talk about how language has evolved and how terms like “micro-aggression” didn’t exist in the 80’s which leads into us talking about dogs and how differently they are treated now compared to when Tom was Max's age.  We then talk 60s Disney movies and how many couldn’t be made today. We then go on a China tangent for a while, specifically a recent story about them sinking fishing boats which moves into us bantering about how they make everything and how it didn’t used to be that way. We then talk about the next few months and what they might look like with the new COVID vaccine and how the far left and far right seem to accidentally be on the same side when it comes to vaccines. This is That Guy and the Kid Episode 05.
