457: Reply All To Someone Else’s Family E-mail

 

The first in-studio podcast of 2026 kicks off with reflection, rebellion, and one perfectly unhinged act of digital chaos. In this episode of The Tom Kelly Show, Tom talks about: *Turning five years of podcasting into joy again *How success can quietly kill creativity *Why doing things just for fun works better than chasing virality *His most viral subway moment (and why it happened by accident) *Gently rebelling against authority, tradition, and himself *And finally… hitting “Reply All” on a stranger’s holiday email newsletter

455: Phil’s Pizza Of Syosset – Viral Pizza Comedy

 

Is he the Soup Nazi of Long Island pizza… or the working man’s anti-hero? 🍕 Tom heads to Phil’s Pizza of Syosset, Long Island to sit down with Anthony Lorino—the guy behind those viral “no-nonsense pizza man” Instagram clips with millions of views. Anthony’s rants about napkin hoarders, Yelp trolls, and people who don’t have any common sense as his videos have become unexpected therapy for anyone who’s ever worked in customer service. But behind the attitude is a smart small-business owner who built a monster social media following from scratch at 53, learned how to edit his own videos, and now preaches one simple message: your content has to come from the heart.

The Massapequa Mom’s Bit

This has become my “Signature Bit” when I perform on Long Island.  I’ve actually kept it off the internet because I wanted the bit to be fresh when they come to live shows.

Without starting any feuds, there have been a few Long Island comedians starting to use the word “Massapequa Moms” and start their own Mom’s group jokes.  So . . .it’s time to put my bit out there.  Maybe someone will see it and put me on TV.

I joined the Massapequa Mom’s Facebook Mom’s Group because my we needed some help with my grandmother.  Some of the other content I’ve seen over the years has been inspiring . . . and at time just plain crazy.  Thank you for having me ladies!

Join comedian Tom Kelly and guest Daniella Anastasio Bardazzi as they unpack Long Island loyalty, sexy Halloween costumes, skincare secrets, underwear drawer discoveries, and the truth about pelvic floor crystals. Hilarious, heartfelt, and real.

450: New Joke Show Adam Gabel

Two broken wrists and two microphones! Comedian Adam Gabel (@AJGabel) joins for an impromptu show. Adam runs “Not Ripe Bananas” — a Tuesday night workout room at West Side Comedy Club that gives comedians a place to take risks, try new material, and place where comics can bomb with purpose. We get honest about joke failures, the open mic grind, crowd work as a crutch, the myth of “killing,” and why creativity demands an audience that’s willing to sit through imperfection. There’s also a Rockville Centre roast, an Annette Funicello reference (!), and the most self-deprecating hospital story on the internet. If you’ve ever tried to create something new — comedy, music, a post, a life — this episode is for you.

In this exclusive interview, Tom Kelly sits down with Jeff to talk about: Why he twirls everywhere he goes The ankle monitor that always sparks questions The wild incident that got him banned from The Inn in Long Beach What keeps him coming back to the dance floor after all these years
