Man Cave Happy Hour
Unforgettable Evenings: DJ Tom T Talks Music, Charity, and Cigar Lounge Laughs
Picture this: A chilly evening, a cozy mobile cigar lounge at Thomas McGee's, and the perfect pint of Guinness. That's exactly where we find ourselves as we kick off the Man Cave Happy Hour with the gang—Matt Fox, August Kitchener, and our special guest, the world-class DJ and philanthropist, DJ Tom T. With whiskey in hand, we share laughs over cigars (even if they're not everyone's cup of tea) and joke about the quirks of past podcast episodes, including that unforgettable Twizzler-infused vodka moment. It's an evening where camaraderie rules, and the joys of Eastern Market's local hotspots like Firebird Tavern and McGee's take center stage.
Our musical journey then shifts as we dive into Tom's globe-trotting DJ career and his remarkable charity work. From remixing tracks for the likes of Bastille and the Killers to his ever-popular "Throwback Thursday Jam of the Day," Tom entertains and inspires on and off the stage. We relive stories of friendships formed at gigs and sustained through fantasy football leagues, celebrating Tom's dedication to giving back to the community, even as he crisscrosses the globe for his next big show. His ability to balance a hectic schedule with meaningful contributions to local charities paints a picture of a truly committed artist.
As the night keeps rolling, we lighten the mood with a playful game of "Who's Smellier?" and share tales of unforgettable parties, like the upcoming New Year's Eve bash at Boogie Fever. The discussion meanders through lively anecdotes, from tailgate shenanigans to personal milestones like wedding anniversaries. Wrapping up in our snug mobile podcast studio, we reflect on the creative ways we've kept the party alive—even during a pandemic—and the enduring friendships that make these gatherings truly special. Join us for a night of humor, music, and the joy of good company.

DJ Tom T: 8:11
It was pretty damn good. I grew up in Toronto so I had a great time.
Jamie: 8:15

Uh, we take the train. I did this in the first one. I it's like we would go to see the kids in the hall and they would like they was. Uh, oh, my, oh, my God. I would love it. We would get tickets and we'd go see kids in the hall. Like you know, the kids in the hall, that's really cool.
DJ Tom T: 8:39
I mean, I'm old Before we came on we were talking about Saturday night live and some other stuff and kids in the hall, a lot of those people that were in the Toronto kids in. I had two or three of them, yeah, and Game of Second City, Yep, yep and various other.
Jamie: 8:53
Oh my God.
DJ Tom T: 8:53
It was great.
Jamie: 8:54
But Shadowy Men on the Shadowy Planet. The bleachers, the seats for the guests, were just like these crazy wooden bleachers, and there's a scaffolding and there's this wood platform and the Shadowy Men on the Shadowy Planet a little three-piece.
August: 9:12
They're up on this wooden platform playing in between skits.
Jamie: 9:14
We've lost every listener. Now. My favorite thing about Toronto I love Toronto. Anyway, Tom, I didn't know you're from Toronto. How'd you get over here? Are you here?
DJ Tom T: 9:22
legally. Yeah, my dad's job moved and I ended up. Actually, is INS going to come here?
Jamie: 9:28
Urban Chris got deported. He was Canadian. Rest in peace. Yes, that was my dude man. I love Chris. Yeah, that was my dude.
DJ Tom T: 9:36
I know I came over here. My dad's job moved. Bill Clinton signed the NAFTA free trade agreement. I'm aging myself now, but my dad's job moved as a result and we came here. So I did my last year of high school at West Bloomfield High. I graduated.
Jamie: 9:49
Oh, nice and.
DJ Tom T: 9:49
Michigan State University.

August: 9:55
Who's going to tell the story you?
Jamie: 9:57
go ahead. Wait, wait, wait, go green. All right, go white. Yeah, there you go, Fair enough.
August: 10:02
This guy gets DJ Tom T. He's a college entrepreneur right, starts his own business in college. Yeah, shows up to DJ the Kiva at McDonald Hall, which is where I was living, and I wandered down and I was just like a I'm sorry, matt, what would you like to end up Going into Kiva Hall? Musically? You're like I'm going to play X, y and Z, but what was X, y and Z? Well, I mean, you know at that time, you know it was college kids and so was pop music but at jam with tom the thing.
DJ Tom T: 10:37
Yeah, yeah, you know my age is the subject of some debate and we'll leave it there. So, um, at that time that was the pop music. The problem is I'm doing this gig for the school and I my only thing is I cannot play cuss words, right, so I got to play clean versions of all these things, bo, which is totally fine because I had access to a lot of that stuff.
August: 10:57
Actually, 90s dance was not dirty and the rap dance wasn't really a thing. It wasn't dirty in the connotation.
DJ Tom T: 11:04
It wasn't.
August: 11:06
But you can figure this, the fuck out.
DJ Tom T: 11:09
Let me back up. It wasn't raunchy, it was dirty. It wasn't raunchy For every 2 Live crew. There was a biggie For every NWA there was a Wu-Tang Clan.
August: 11:21
There was also Power, which was earlier. Yeah, but I mean you can't.
DJ Tom T: 11:26
It was a lot more diverse back then. A lot more diverse music.
August: 11:29
I woke up to this guy. I don't know. I'm like, uh, hey, can you play? Uh, how do you want it?
DJ Tom T: 11:35

Jamie: 11:56
Oh, yeah, yeah that was the room dj you know and brought it down and like played it.
August: 12:03
This rule is up on floor three and so this is before. Anyway, well, I'm gonna say I'm gonna leave that part out. He says hey look, I'm djing at this club next weekend. Uh, you know, bring this boulder over there, we can have some fun with this. We're going to be doing it at this bar like cool. So that saturday that next week comes up and he calls me in my dorm room and goes hey place, I'll go and dj. I just got shut down. They've been serving underage kids. That's why we were going there.
August: 12:32
We just got shut down, Okay cool, but we kept in touch. And then this is absolutely true Right after college I got Tom into a fantasy football league.
DJ Tom T: 12:45
Yes, of all the things that keep us together.
August: 12:49
Fantasy football, and we're talking a couple decades into this. Yeah, it's a minute.
DJ Tom T: 12:54
So to this day, we're in the same fantasy football league.
August: 12:56
To this day as we speak, I actually just beat him last week.
August: 13:01
Yeah, well, that's because I made a mistake. I played Jaden Daniels. I have Lamar Jackson. Jaden Daniels was hot but he ended up scoring seven. I would have had you. I would have had, you Could have, should have coulda, shoulda, woulda, but also tom is. But let's, we're getting away from the point that tom is a world-class dj who's traveled the country, traveled the world, and he's done so much for so many local charities, as well as these two gentlemen. They've always dj'd all my charity parties in ham tramic. We've raised together thousands of dollars for the hero foundation, for House. We just keep, and you never turned down a charity gig.
DJ Tom T: 13:38
No.
August: 13:38
I flew back.
DJ Tom T: 13:40
Yeah, you flew back. You really got off a plane from.
August: 13:42
Montreal Yep. And one time it was from Dubai for a Ferrari party Yep. And you got off the plane and came right to Whiskey in the Jar, with no sleep, to a dive bar in Hamtramck just to DJ my charity party. So, tom sleep to a dive bar in hamtramck just to dj my charity party. So tom has been on it. He's been on it for years and like, look, he did my my now ex-girlfriend's 40th birthday party in the backyard during covid. I was there, you were there. Well, we're all.
Jamie: 14:04
I saw you, tom.
August: 14:05
There's a very limited limited population for that party, but it was outdoors and, uh, we had a good time with it. It was fun as as famous and as good. Tell me about some of the stuff you've remixed, some of the work that you put out there.
DJ Tom T: 14:19
I mean, I did stuff for a lot of different bands Bastille, the Killers a lot of different things I've done. I did a lot of work on, and to this day continue to do, a lot of work on, movie soundtracks, stuff like that and like that, and there's a lot of different uh like commercial beds, just a lot of different miscellaneous music projects, here and there, voiceovers you got.

DJ Tom T: 15:19
Yeah, so I started this thing on social media a long time ago, and so it's called Throwback Thursday Jam of the Day, and I'll just pick a song you know, literally out of random, Because when you say throwback I mean I have 50 plus years of music to choose from. A lot of times it's just something that I've heard during the week in my life. You know, just random things that affect people. But it really took off. A lot of people pay attention to it. It's actually a lot of fun. I have fun with it. It's pretty cool.
August: 15:45
