The Complete Guide to Everything

A weekly podcast for knowledge about anything and everything. From North Korea to Nicolas Cage, Tim and Tom leave no stone unturned in their humble quest to make the world a more informed place. Put away the encyclopedia four-eyes because this may just be the last resource you'll ever need. Wikipedia, consider yourselves on warning.
 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we’re discussing the hottest Holiday Toys of 2025. We’re talking Labubus, Nintendo Switch 2, LEGO Minifig Vending Machine, Bitzees, Hatchimals, DJ Furby, and a bunch of other stuff that sounds made-up. Also, we consider switching to whale oil for the winter.

Holiday Toys 2025

Shhhh... keep your voice down! This week we're talking about Secret Santa, and the last thing we need is someone blabbing about it all over town. You know that thing where you buy a co-worker or friend a gift anonymously for some reason? Yeah, that's the topic this week, but keep it under your hat.

We also solve a problem for an enterprising young man who sent a theme song along with his email. That part of the show isn't a secret, so tell whoever you want.

Eyeglasses

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so this week we are discussing the 99th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We dive into the history of the event, from the years when they let live tigers from the zoo roam the streets to the time Popeye dumped hundreds of gallons of water on the crowd.

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

Ripped from the headlines, just two weeks after it ended, we're discussing Daylight Saving Time. Nobody's quite sure why we do it, people seem to hate it and it kinda messes things up for a few days, but only Richard Nixon was brave enough to do something about it and look what happened to him.

Spiders

Whether it’s The Old Hag, the Hat Man, the Greys, demons, or just some guy sitting on your chest, no one likes to wake up and find they can’t move. It’s inconvenient at best and horrifying at worst. For our Halloween Month finale, we’re talking all about sleep paralysis, lucid dreaming, lawnmower videos. Also, we discuss the scariest episode of Ghost Adventures yet.
