    Unplugged with You (Tommy the Doctor)

    Unplugged with You (Tommy the Doctor)

    This is a special episode where we talk to fans of the music scene, get to know them a bit more as fans of music, and dive into what they do for a living.

    This week, we talk to one of you, Dr. Tom, a podiatrist (foot doctor) and a fan of the scene. Dr. Tom is a supporter of the show and (full disclosure) a long-time friend of both Tyler and John, as well as Tyler's personal foot doctor. Before moving into music-related topics, the boys interview the doctor about his work by asking him all kinds of questions, from sawing off feet to the worst feet he's seen to his craziest experiences while practicing podiatry. Tommy also shares his favorite bands, best concerts, a wild concert story, the most he's paid for a single concert ticket, and what albums and tours he's looking forward to most in 2024. To wrap it up, Dr. Tom turns the tables and asks the hosts about the most embarrassing concert they've attended.

I have known John since Mrs. Vinson’s kindergarten class and Tyler since second grade art class, so listening to this podcast is so fun! It’s like sitting down and having a conversation with friends. Everything is so well researched, everyone is enthusiastic about the material, and love seeing this project turn into something bigger. Congrats, guys!

Awesome show

New listener here. I feel like the quality of the show has improved with the addition of John. Tyler vibes with him better and he’s really funny. Keep up the good work, boys.

Great podcast to hear about the start of the Plain white T’s! Also exciting to hear more about his new record label Humans Were Here and his solo project Million Miler! Really interesting to hear more about TLB too!
