442: Fix Your Flags Long Island, Blown Off Plans and Limerence

Feeling stuck between heartbreak, taxes, and Fourth of July fireworks? You’re not alone. In this brutally honest, hilariously ranty “manifesto edition” of The Tom Kelly Show, Tom vents from the car—unfiltered, raw, and maybe a little unhinged (but in a charming way). From missed connections to canceled gigs, parking tickets, and patriotism gone sideways, Tom opens up about what’s really been eating at him.

🔥 If you’ve ever had a plan fall apart, a date ghost you, or questioned why you still live in NYC...this one’s for you.
