This week we're talking about literally one of the easiest things anyone could ever do: raise children. Over the course of the hour we go through a lot of the common mistakes idiots make when trying to raise children, along with our solutions, along with a discussion about a troubled young person named Justin Bieber and the advice of Francis L. Thompson who claims to have raised 12 kids to not only be perfect children, but also excellent hot rod mechanics.

Raising Children

This week we're talking the fizzy stuff. Ya know, soda. All kinds of soda, but mostly just the mainstream stuff from Pepsi and Coke. Also this week we answer a listener problem concerning a boyfriend who might have a name fetish.

This week we get in the holiday spirit and talk about Christmas trees. Tim helps Tom decide whether he should get a real tree that will make his dog sick and probably catch on fire, or a fake tree that will require him to empty out an entire room of his apartment for storage. 

We also take a look at reviews of classic books written by dumb children and solve a "problem" someone has because they get too much free wine.

If you're doing your holiday shopping on Amazon this year, consider using tcgte.com/amazon. It's the same old Amazon, but your buddies Tim and Tom get a cut.

Christmas Trees

Mars. The Red Planet. We've all heard of it, but how many of us have actually been there? The answer may surprise you. The answer is none. None of us have actually been there. But that's not going to stop us from talking about Total Recall, Terraforming, One-Way Trips, Biodomes and everything else you need to know about if you want to go to Mars.

Also we solve a problem about a listener's friend who raps all the time.

It's Christmastime, so this week we're doing an episode about noted horror novelist Stephen King. This guy does it all: writes books, has movies made based on his books, produces miniseries based on the same books successful movies have already been based on, and predicts the future in the books written by his pseudonym.

Also, Tom gets a weird contraption for his back and we solve a problem from a listener who expects us to figure out his whole life for him.

2014 kinda stunk but it is our solemn duty to still recap it. This week we're talking all things 2014, along with bureaucracies, fingerprinting, North Korea and predictions for 2015, the year the hoverboard finally becomes a reality.

2014 Year In Review

It's Foo Fighters week on The Complete Guide to Everything. That's because Tim and Tom saw the Foo Fighters last week at Citi Field. This week we talk all about Foo Fighters, the basis for Tim and Tom's original friendship in the 1990's. We also go through each album, naming the best, worst and sleeper hits of each until we get to the albums where we don't recognize any songs any more.
