#LunchWithDoug the Community Follower

This week on Lunch With Doug , we welcomed a guest whose internet legacy is as quirky as it is unforgettable: Tom Shaw , the man behind “Moose” in the viral duo Toasters ‘N’ Moose . If you’ve ever found yourself humming “Taste the Biscuit” while scrolling late-night memes, you’ve already felt the ripple of Tom’s unexpected fame. In Season 9, Episode 68 , Doug sits down with Tom to unpack the story behind the cult hit Chickens in the Shadows , the mockumentary that launched “Taste the Biscuit” into the stratosphere. While Tom didn’t write the song—that credit goes to Vincent Gargiulo—his performance as Moose helped cement the track’s place in internet history. His deadpan delivery, soulful keyboard work, and undeniable charm turned a fictional duo into a real-life phenomenon. 🎹 What’s in the episode? Behind-the-scenes stories from the filming of Chickens in the Shadows Reflections on viral fame and how it changed Tom’s creative journey A look at Tom’s broader musical career and theatri...

  🎙️ How Lunch With Doug Accidentally Became a Community Staple It started as a simple idea during my lunch break—go live, share a few thoughts, maybe highlight something cool happening around town. To make sure my boss knew it was happening on my time, I gave it a name: Lunch With Doug . I figured it’d be a short-lived experiment. But then something unexpected happened—he liked it. He encouraged it. And the audience? They kept showing up. What began as a casual livestream quickly grew into a daily dose of community connection. I started sharing upcoming events, spotlighting local businesses, and giving folks a reason to tune in during the lunch hour. It wasn’t planned, but it worked. And when something works, you lean in. 📺 The Evolution of Lunch With Doug Lunch With Doug began as a simple livestream from my phone—just me, going live on Facebook during lunch to share local events and chat with the community. But it didn’t stay simple for long. It quickly grew into a full-blown...

If you were anywhere near downtown Nevada, MO on September 11 and ongoing this weekend, you felt it. The buzz. The bass. The unmistakable pulse of Cherry Street Fusion Fest .

In the vast expanse of the cosmos, one exoplanet has captured the curiosity of astronomers and space enthusiasts alike— K2-18b . Discovered in 2015 by the Kepler Space Telescope , this fascinating world orbits the red dwarf star K2-18 , located 124 light-years away in the Leo constellation . What sets it apart? Its potential to support life. A Sub-Neptune with an Atmosphere K2-18b falls into the category of sub-Neptunes , meaning it is significantly larger than Earth, with a radius 2.6 times that of our planet and a mass 8.6 times Earth’s . Its thick atmosphere contains water vapor, methane, and carbon dioxide , leading scientists to speculate that it may be a Hycean world —one with a global ocean beneath a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. Could It Harbor Life? One of the most intriguing findings linked to K2-18b is the possible presence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) , a molecule that, on Earth, is primarily produced by biological activity. While this discovery hints at the possibility of life ...
