Gregg and Chris get on the mics to recognize and/or celebrate the ten real, fun, and inspiring years since the launch of CRUISIN’ TOGETHER.

For this “Special Version” episode, they open the lines to take calls from past guests and invited super-fans. But before they do that, there’s talk of risk and worst case scenarios, game show cliffhangers and continuity, Tom’s hair, and more, as well as declaring a final episode and “directors also not.”

And then, with the call-in lines open, Chris and Gregg await whoever might show up. And people do call in! Gregg wonders what’s better, CruiseTEN Together or Cruisin’ TENgether…there’s talk of doxxing, hating the bits, Tom’s potential life-and-after-lifespan, Eating Crowe(!), and “take insult by that.” Plus, questions like: Is JERRY MAGUIRE a rom-com? Is Tom Cruise pretty? Has this all been a dumb thing?

Plus, a reader-suggested segment: Mashed TOMtatoes!

Thanks to every past guest, every listener-reader who still enjoys the show, and of course thanks to Thomas Cruise Maypother IV.

As mentioned in the episode, here’s the epic photo taken at HeroesCon 2024 with superfan (and friend) Michole:

Chris and Gregg accept their latest mission and are joined by cartoonist Scoot McMahon to talk about the latest entry in the Mission: Impossible franchise! And in doing so, Gregg shares his “close call” with Tom Cruise, Scoot recalls his first meetings with the hosts, Chris coins a new word, they determine who of them is the freshest (and the cleanest), two lengthy recaps vie for supremacy, Gregg’s excited about Kittridge’s return (but for one thing), Chris keeps track of octane heights, Gregg has a “hot take,” Chris assigns himself a cruciform mission, they get into Cruise Control and Top Toms, ask if Ethan Hunt did a Wolverine or a Nightcrawler, discuss grocery self-checkout machines…and Chris can do this all day! Plus, this episode has a post-credit’s “scene”!?

For those who clock such things, the (all over the place) mid-show break clocks in at a righteous forty minutes!

Chris and Gregg are on the road, literally cruisin’ while recording another “Special Version” episode, their 10th! TOP GUN: MAVERICK has been delayed once again, but this was an opportunity to record that couldn’t be passed up. Put your metaphorical (or literal) seat belt on for Six Degrees of Top Gun, Cruise Controlling the previous “Special Version” episode’s precaps, Chris tastes gray Skittles, Gregg forgets the third thing he’d use a time machine for*, the number that’s nearly 70, and talk of the second recording session that failed.

Chris and Gregg saddle up for a very special “Special Version” episode, joined by “fan since day 2” Jon Thurmond to delve into the mystery of the curious case of the Cruise cowboy cameo in the movie YOUNG GUNS. Amidst talk of the 1980s, Rubik’s products, and witches, they examine roughly 7 seconds of footage to determine if a rumored cameo is indeed Tom Cruise in cowboy disguise.

And if it is Tom Cruise, how do they resolve YOUNG GUNS’ omission from their comprehensive and chronological assessment of Tom Cruise’s filmography?

That comes in the form of an unprecedented point-five episode inside a “Special Version” episode, where Gregg and Chris welcome “fan since day 2” Jon Thurmond to break down YOUNG GUNS, Cruisin’-style – plot recap battle is waged, Top Toms are told, and Cruise Controls are called out in between discussions of Jon Bon Jovi’s YOUNG GUNS 2 soundtrack, unused takes from YOUNG GUNS 2, high-pitch basketball, what’s the best Batman movie, a good bit of music talk and some singing, lot’s of apologies from Gregg, and…recoil!

Not to be outdone, during the break, there’s debate over pie, consideration of John “Bowser” Bowman, Chris ventures to name four listeners, and Gregg brings up another questionable Cruise cameo.
