    Episode 12: Confessions Court: DATING (Are men okay??) | TheTomsters Show

    Dating can too often feel like some sort of social torture experiment, which (silver-ish lining) produces a heap of personal stories, from good to bad to horrific. I chose dating to be the focus of the first edition of Confessions Court, a new segment on TheTomsters Show where I read your submitted confessions (and Reddit posts) and rule whether the players in the stories are guilty or not guilty of crimes against common sense and decency. Follow along this episode’s fair share of dating disasters, make rulings of your own, and cringe and gasp at the behaviors of people who, unfortunately, also call this planet home. All of this and more on this episode of TheTomsters Show.

    Episode 11: All about goodbyes (and why the hardest ones are actually a good thing) | TheTomsters Show

    Goodbyes are a part of the human experience. Some goodbyes are hard, like having the final conversation with a passing loved one. Some goodbyes are easier, like breaking up with a loser ex. And some goodbyes, maybe most goodbyes, are somewhere in between. In today's episode, we discuss them all. I share my hardest goodbyes, why hard goodbyes are signs of real love, I cry a little (oop), and add a little history lesson about common sayings about goodbyes. As always, thanks for listening.

    Episode 10: Why I’m happy Taylor Swift had the wedding she wanted (as someone who didn’t) | TheTomsters Show

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were recently married, and everyone has opinions on the matter, from the venue to the decor to the guest list. Many people have a long list of criticisms for the Swift and Kelce celebration, but you know what: I’m happy they had the wedding they wanted. In this episode, I share my own wedding experience, which was very Mormon and very traditional and very much not a version of the day I would have picked if I had more of a choice (a day that should be, in my opinion, all about the happy couple and what they want to do). All of this and more on this episode of TheTomsters Show.

    Episode 9: Who makes up a family and struggling to make friends as an adult | TheTomsters Show

    Family means different things to different people. For some, family is simply those with whom you share DNA. For others, it’s more about the social connection than any common blood or genetics. And it can get complicated. Family isn’t always simple. And neither are friendships, or the skill of friend-making. Making and keeping friends isn’t natural or automatic for me, and I’ve struggled to make friends as I get older and deeper into adulthood. I want to change that, and, today, I discuss why and how. All of that and more on this episode of TheTomsters Show.

    Episode 7: Love Island USA: The Sociological Hunger Games | TheTomsters Show

    Love Island USA is the most popular show in America. So why does it lowkey resemble the Hunger Games? The program’s propensity to create conflict for the viewer’s pleasure not-so-subtly reminds me of Katniss and her friends all running around, just trying to survive. So is this a bad thing? Is Love Island USA a net negative on our society? And what does the popularity of the show say about us, those who willfully watch and enjoy the show? I discuss all of this and more on this episode of TheTomsters Show. - If you enjoy the podcast, please like, follow, subscribe, and share on whichever platform you prefer. Thank you!

    Episode 6: Why the rise of sports gambling is a bad thing | TheTomsters Show

    Today, it is nearly impossible to watch a sporting event without being bombarded by gambling ads and betting partners. Sports gambling is on the rise, and so is sports gambling addiction. So why has sports gambling become more popular, and is it a problem? I discuss all of this and more in this episode of TheTomsters Show.

    Episode 5: Accepting my bisexuality while being married | TheTomsters Show

    Happy Pride Month! In this episode, I share my story about accepting my bisexuality, even while married. Growing up, my views regarding any sexuality that wasn’t heterosexuality were discriminatory and uninformed, thanks to the faith I was raised in. Over the years, my opinions changed and evolved. Listen to the show to learn about the most important moments on my self-discovery journey and why I deemed it important to come out while married to my wife and best friend, Madison.

    Episode 4: The rise and terror of AI affirmation and psychosis | TheTomsters Show

    Artificial intelligence is entering every part of our lives, thanks to the greed and apathy of leading tech heads and billionaires. While promising increased wealth and staggering efficiency, the rise of AI has created a set of new and dangerous issues: AI affirmation and psychosis. In this episode of TheTomsters Show, I address these problems. Individuals, consciously or not, have begun to replace real human connections with large language models (LLMs). These humanoid products take advantage of the most vulnerable and susceptible, preying on those who seek friendship and relationships. More so, these bots are created to make every person they interact with feel like the most correct and important person on the planet. The outcomes are devastating. Conversations with AI LLM chatbots have resulted in broken families, ruined relationships, debt, and even death, all of which could have been avoided. But as long as money is made, these bots will remain easily accessible.

    Calling all fans of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In this episode, we're talking about Taylor Frankie Paul and her apparent inability to take accountability.

    Episode 2: THE ART OF AGING (and my fear of turning 30) | TheTomsters Show

    Aging is one of life's few universal experiences, and when I turned 30 years old last year, I ... had a less than great time. I realized my relationship with aging and getting older was flawed and unhealthy. In this episode, I discuss how, over the past year, I have worked on my perception of growing old and fixing the mindsets that have been promoting fear and anxiety. My hope is that my experience can assist and inform others.
