This week on In-Law and the Outlaw, it’s Red Hot Chili Peppers vs. Keith Whitley, Aldi vs. Publix, coupon vs. cue-pon, and men vs. basic tools. Tom tries to attach a bush hog and somehow ends up emotionally broken at Ace Hardware. Brennan reviews an album so fast it ends before he finishes two emails.

Also: we launch a new segment where we butcher the English language with style...Jimisms...featuring classics like “come home to Jesus” and “food to think about.” Meanwhile, gas prices are high, milk is higher, and lawnmowers are dying like flies in a bug zapper.

It’s educational. It’s emotional. It’s a violation of grammar law. Tune in now because you deserve to hear two men spiral over a socket wrench.

In this unexpected and delightfully chaotic episode of The In-Law and the Outlaw, Tom’s usual co-host, and son-in-law, Brandon is MIA thanks to his human blender of a work schedule. Filling in? Tom’s daughter...and Brandon’s better (and far more organized) half: Tori.

Join Tom and Tori as they unpack:

• Life with a man whose diet is 80% Uncrustables and 20% dino nuggets
• How to love a blue-collar guy who works nights, days, and presumably interdimensional shifts
• The country store that doubles as a burger joint, detergent aisle, and deer feed emporium
• Keith Whitley’s album Miami, My Amy - which Tom thought was just a bad pronunciation
• Why going to your ex’s family’s Thanksgiving isn’t weird...unless you make it weird

Plus: shoutouts to Becca’s pepper jelly empire, the shame of overcooking fish sticks, and what it really means to plan a vacation when no one can commit until 24 hours beforehand.
