[Bob Kevoian]

Jim Rome takes on sports.

[Jim Rome]

I will always have a complicated relationship with this game, but people evolve. So do sports. Do not make me regret this. Do not make me devolve back to that guy that so many clones wish that I still was. And do not embarrass the entire country. Now I can go back. I can get there fast. Lose tonight and you got a real problem. Do not blow it.

[Bob Kevoian]

The Jim Rome show podcast.

[Jim Rome]

You've been warned.

[Bob Kevoian]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, here we go.

[Poetry Reader / Guest]

You can be mean to me. Mean as you want to be. Just say anything that you like. You can be nasty and catty and cruel and unusual. Twist my nose with your fingers Trip me while I carry liquids. But as you pin me down my arms down on the ground as your spit drips into my face Deep in the back of your mind remember at some point you'll have to fall asleep.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Poetry Reader / Guest]

And when you fall asleep into your room I'll creep. Did something move in the dark neath your bed? And then a voice you hear calling out loud and clear. A voice that is your own. A voice that's saying. There are things that one can do with Bengay, Nair and super glue. A package of indelible dye. Why would a guy such as I ever buy indelible dye? Blue as the sky, don't ask me why. This catalog I found so. Sells roaches by the pound. Millipedes, centipedes too they say the meek shall inherit because they stay up late and change the will. And when you fall asleep into your room I'll creep. Did something move in the dark neath your bed? And then a voice you hear it's calling loud and clear. A voice that is your own. A voice that's saying.

[Tom Griswold]

That's all I have.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love that.

[Christy]

That was very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we know it's. But things are always better the second time around.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is Bob and Tom. Extra.

[Tom Griswold]

We get to those letters, we got a lot going on in the world.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Christy. Yes, this 56 Studebaker.

[Poetry Reader / Guest]

Oh, man.

[Bob Kevoian]

Available right now. Is that the Golden Hawk? Is that what you want?

[Christy]

The Golden Hawk is actually gold. That is a black.

[Chick McGee]

That's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen in my life.

[Tom Griswold]

What's up? What's amazing about the Studebaker, if you're not familiar with them, they look so contemporary when you compare it to the other vehicles made in that era. Yeah, they.

[Bob Kevoian]

They managed to have the big fins, but they look cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's gorgeous. What year is that?

[Chick McGee]

56.

[Bob Kevoian]

56. And it's in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

[Chick McGee]

And they, they took the photo at magic hour.

[Christy]

Yeah, they did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they sure did. They're ready to. They're ready to deal on that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Just give a price that, baby.

[Bob Kevoian]

21. 21K.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's really right out the door.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yep.

[Christy]

Yeah. The Golden Hawks go for about 45. I've been watching Dad's was all gold. There's a Golden Hawk that has a white top and then there's a Golden Hawk that's gold. And dad's was just had the gold top.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you agree that that could be a brand new design? Yeah, that could be a 20, 26 vehicle. It's. They were so advanced. I will remember as a kid seeing them going, wow, what's that? It looks like the future.

[Chick McGee]

That thing's cool.

[Christy]

Yeah, I will.

[Bob Kevoian]

White wall.

[Tom Griswold]

White wall. It's a two tone. God, that's so cool.

[Christy]

The white on the fins in the back.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, you can tell someone really put a lot of love into fixing that thing up.

[Christy]

I have a friend who just gave me a model. One with the white top and one with the gold top. I should bring them in and sit them here.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

They would help you manifest.

[Christy]

Yes, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Or just make you envious.

[Bob Kevoian]

Someone.

[Tom Griswold]

We don't. We don't need any more envious, Christy. We got enough that going on over there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Bob and Tom, if we find

[Chick McGee]

out Allie Brain bought a gold Studebaker.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, she had it shipped over from French boyfriend.

[Christy]

Is he Swiss, I think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Bob and Tom show. I was watching the World cup and spotted the coach's name for the team from Curacao. I want him to go to bars with me. He is not a wingman. He's more than that. He is a Dick Advocate.

[Chick McGee]

That's incredible.

[Bob Kevoian]

There he is.

[Tom Griswold]

The guy's name is Dick Advocate.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dick Advocate, head coach of Carousel. There he is.

[Christy]

I love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Explaining a couple finer moments. Finer points of the game right there.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he sure is.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi, I'm Dick Advocate. This is my friend Pat Godwin. He'd like to have some sort of relationship with you in the next 24, 36 hours. Is it a problem?

[Christy]

Does a carousel sound like a liquor? Like it?

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Christy]

Or.

[Tom Griswold]

Or.

[Jim Rome]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Or maybe a. A beauty product. Beautiful country, too.

[Chick McGee]

Really colorful. Yeah, it's gorgeous.

[Tom Griswold]

Where is it?

[Bob Kevoian]

It's.

[Chick McGee]

It's in the Caribbean somewhere way far to the left.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's just off the coast of Texas.

[Christy]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, one of the cool things about. I have to admit, about the. The whole World cup thing is some of these smaller countries are showing up big time.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The first one was. Was it something verde? What was it?

[Bob Kevoian]

Cape Verde?

[Jim Rome]

They.

[Tom Griswold]

What did they do? They tied Spain.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, zero. Zero.

[Christy]

But, you know, the Ivory coast won. And there were the story.

[Bob Kevoian]

The story of that Cape Verde was the goalie, his name is Vozina.

[Christy]

Did you see where his mom got her visa? So she can come over here and see him play?

[Bob Kevoian]

Whose mom got his visa?

[Christy]

Whatever that guy's name is.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right. It just takes a little cooperation.

[Tom Griswold]

But this guy, remember. Where's this guy Dick Advocate from? Oh, because the most famous Dick Advocate just passed away. I know what you're gonna say.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, now, now, now, before he continues, this is someone that he's heard of.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I mean Barney Frank, who.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. I. I didn't realize he passed away. Yeah, he was a dick advocate.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

For. For himself and maybe I don't know

[Bob Kevoian]

the angle on that story. I recognize the name, thankfully.

[Chick McGee]

Instead of a gay man.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Famous gay gentleman, Dick Raskin. I don't know no. Dick Raskin was the.

[Bob Kevoian]

There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

Dick Raskin was the tennis player that became a lady famously.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah, I need to shut up.

[Christy]

No, you don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you're correct.

[Christy]

No, no, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good. Renee Richards. That was Dick. Was Dr. Dick Raskin.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got a letter over there. I'm working as hard as I ever have. What's going on? Oh, we forgot to do this yesterday. The guys who dress up in knights and shining armor and they sit on a log and hit each other with hammers and tongs.

[Chick McGee]

I like this.

[Bob Kevoian]

In Sweden body python sketch. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That is a cast iron skillet.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. And they're hitting each other in the head with a cast iron skillet.

[Chick McGee]

The one guy has a cast iron for sure. The other guy looks to be.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hope you didn't bet on the one on the right.

[Chick McGee]

Look at this.

[Bob Kevoian]

There he goes.

[Chick McGee]

So he's out.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is Sweden. There's a game where you wear a medieval knight armor, fight each other, and lose if you fall off the log. Oh, there it is.

[Tom Griswold]

They're wearing full suits of Armor.

[Christy]

He threw his.

[Tom Griswold]

And they're skillet. And that isn't even chain mail. That's regular armor.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's some badass.

[Jim Rome]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

That can't be good.

[Chick McGee]

That is silly. Silly competition.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, there's got to be somebody drinking. This actually ties into the Studebaker thing.

[Christy]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

We were talking about donuts. Not the kind you eat. Which, by the way, we have donut news coming up. When I was first learning to drive, my brother had a VW Bug, which I would take to the parking lot of Mercer School when there was just a little bit of snow. And it was the. And it was, of course, a stick shift. It was the best for doing donuts. Just beautiful.

[Christy]

And seems like it would topple over easy. No, because it's got that taller.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from Mr. Schreiber in Tucson, Arizona.

[Christy]

I love Tucson.

[Tom Griswold]

I was listening to your show from a couple of months ago. They're absolutely the best. Of course, I'm talking about the VW Beetle. The best for doing donuts and light snow. My buddy had one. We'd go to a vacant parking lot, get some speed up, turn the wheel and hit the parking brake. We could get 720s, sometimes 1080s, even higher. They have a low center of gravity. There's no way we were tipping the car. Thanks for the memory. Well, you're welcome, Mike. I'm glad to see that someone else did the same thing. Those were a blast to drive. I haven't heard a car, and I just saw one, an original. I mean, like a early 60s one. One of the first ones. Those were. Remember their ads? They were like a thousand bucks or something.

[Christy]

No, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy]

Little more than that. Now,

[Tom Griswold]

do you remember the one where they had the. Didn't they have it floating?

[Christy]

A bug?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think that was a National Lampoon.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's right. Yeah. They're a campaign that the VW could float. And they said if Teddy Kennedy had driven a Volkswagen, he'd be president today.

[Chick McGee]

Man.

[Tom Griswold]

I guess Oldsmobile sink or something. I forget the gist of it about Chick McGee. More letters over there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. My new favorite World cup team is the Congo. Based on their fans, I'm going to cheer for. For Congo.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

I believe we have them from. I'm not sure where they played last night, but there they are.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a guy that weighs about 300 pounds, dancing up, shirt off, marching. Kind of doing a marching dance. Man, boobs are shaking.

[Chick McGee]

Wearing some.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my Congo and Portugal tied yesterday. 1 1. Ronaldo was very disappointed in his compression shots.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. He's having a good time.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, having a great time. My favorite team now is Norway, the rowing Viking. Yeah. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

They. They're sitting. They're all. Imagine this. They're sitting on a moving escalator pretending they're rowing. That was on the national news last night. The network news. That's a. That's a great game.

[Christy]

That means you are verified my favorite

[Chick McGee]

team is the usa.

[Jim Rome]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Christy]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

You guys out of your minds?

[Bob Kevoian]

Usa Maybe. But Congo. So cool.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like Congo. They have the killer apes there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, they do have the killer.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I mean, granted, they are protecting diamonds, but they are killer rapes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who's the guy. Who's the guy was in that nip tuck? What's his name?

[Chick McGee]

I don't remember the actor's name. He's also a nobody's fool.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's the son and nobody's fool.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, we do have a new a toy. I've got to get one of these. If Ms. Hooker comes here today, we have to get her to order one. Please. We've been talking about these salt guns.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I'd never heard of. This is right up my alley.

[Christy]

Yes, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a. It has. It. It's like a pistol, but it shoots out salt and kind of a. And it sort of splays out like a shotgun would. Whatever. Whatever the term for that is.

[Christy]

And it does use regular table salt. I did.

[Chick McGee]

Look, scatter shot might be the.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, fellas. I'm spending my third day on the Bug assault gun. These are.

[Chick McGee]

How's he enjoying it?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm loving it. Apparently. Apparently, there are two versions of the Bug assault gun. One is the typical gun style. The other is a pistol type that runs on CO2 and has a tumbler like a six shooter. This is known as the Bug Assault Shredder. And I. This is Bug.

[Chick McGee]

That might be for, like, your horse flies.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, the spelling is Bug. Bug. Then letter A, then S, A, L, T. Bug Assault. This is from Joplin, Missouri. And Nate. Thank you, Nate. We got to get one of them.

[Chick McGee]

That's the one with the bump stock, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Serious business.

[Tom Griswold]

They're perfectly legal. Thank you very much. Back to you, Chick McGee.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's see. This is from. Let me look. My urinal in my garage bar. I have always loved the Bob and Tom show. And I built a urinal myself in my garage. And here's.

[Christy]

Sounds lovely.

[Bob Kevoian]

Here's what it looks like. It's 2x4 with some. You'll recognize the pictures, I believe, Tom. There they are.

[Christy]

Oh, it looks like a funnel.

[Tom Griswold]

Just.

[Chick McGee]

That's all you need. That's all you need, my friend.

[Tom Griswold]

It's made a particle board that's gonna. So that's gonna soak up the year.

[Christy]

You're supposed to pee down the funnel, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but you're gonna. There's gonna be. I hope he's put a lot of lacquer on that thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a picture of you and Bob. And under that it says used beer department.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then in. In paran. Two shake minimum. Oh, and then assign. Professionally done. That says faculty restroom.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I've taken a picture of my. The urinal at my house. I better give this to Jason. I don't know if you can see that.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, yours looks like something would be in a restaurant.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a urinal.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, It's a property.

[Christy]

I sent that to Jason. I want to see that.

[Tom Griswold]

And then there's a photograph of the guy that built my house, my buddy Mark.

[Chick McGee]

Very odd.

[Tom Griswold]

Right there above the urinal.

[Bob Kevoian]

Real weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Someone would say, is that it?

[Tom Griswold]

There we go. That's it. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's nice. And that could be the worst picture of Mark I've ever seen.

[Christy]

What a joke. What would.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good Lord. That looks like. That looks like a five year. A fifth grade, sixth grade art student.

[Chick McGee]

If he had said, by the way, I have a picture of Rip Taylor above my urinal and you looked at that, would you go, that sure is a picture.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, I have a picture of El Chapo over my urine.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you agree with me, Josh? The way that's photographed is very Stanley Kubrick. Can you see the camera backing up and the two twins?

[Chick McGee]

Right, right. And then all of a sudden, it zooms in on the picture. Now it's you above your urinal.

[Christy]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can we. Let me send you this other one. You could post the two. So. But yes, it was kind of a joke, but I used. I just used it this morning.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's funny. He's your best buddy. That's a good one.

[Tom Griswold]

But the beauty of it is, as you can see, there's some. There's these. The pipes sticking out of the top.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And they're. They're always kind of cold. So it's great in the morning when you first get up because you put your forehead on that, it kind of wakes you up. You don't Agree?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no, no. I do agree.

[Christy]

I wake up.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing wakes me up like putting my face against piss pipes.

[Tom Griswold]

That'll get you going in the morning.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what? And I'm trying to. I'm trying to offer this in a. I actually, there's.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a plumber out there that goes

[Chick McGee]

from here on out.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm calling him piss pipe.

[Bob Kevoian]

You have never been that relatable to start with. And it's only getting worse.

[Tom Griswold]

You've been talking to my wife.

[Bob Kevoian]

I. I have not. But discussion yesterday, I think we know. I think nobody knows you better than me and Christy, probably.

[Christy]

So what was her discussion about?

[Tom Griswold]

Just, she said, have you ever been on earth before? There was some confusion about some aspect of life. I just asked a simple question. The next thing I know, she's going global. Have you ever been on earth before?

[Bob Kevoian]

Was she going scorched earth?

[Tom Griswold]

Who have you been talking to? We are getting a lot of mail about these assault, but both the. The salt bug assault things. I've got to get one of these.

[Christy]

We're gonna get you one, we promise.

[Tom Griswold]

And the idea is you. You take flies and you shoot them with. And just shoot salt.

[Bob Kevoian]

As soon as we get one, I'm going to put it to my temple,

[Tom Griswold]

human.

[Bob Kevoian]

Say goodbye, everybody.

[Chick McGee]

The one lady wrote incident didn't. Oh, it didn't.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But it seems like it would. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's a real nice thumbs up for a friend of the show, Weird Al Yankovic. Just. He's on tour if you get a chance. And Al has always had a terrific band. I remember the first time I saw Weird Al Yankovic. We were actually opening the show for him with one of our bands. And the Ricky Rydell Review, I believe it was. And he had a great band then and most of those guys were still with him, but now he's doing kind of a thing with us with a really augmented big band. If you get a chance, go see him. This is a thumbs up on that from Henryville, Indiana. Daryl said how much he enjoyed checking out Weird Al. So thumbs up on that one.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And speaking of which, this is very exciting. I was looking at some of the bands that are touring this summer.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And as you know, this is the season. There are so many bands out there. And what's more fun than seeing your favorite band out there on stage? And for example, our Good buddy Edwin McCain is out there. And you can. I certainly recommend seeing Edwin show, but I'm just looking at some of the bands that are touring for example, the Beach Boys, of course, are out there. Brett Michaels.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, see, a few longtime listeners can guess with us in the studio where Tom. Mention of band.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, for example, Gene Simmons. Ace. Gene is going out now when he does his solo band. Ace and I went to see Kiss a couple years ago.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hope he loses it one night and. Yeah, tell me we're Kiss, damn it.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, does he. He doesn't do the whole makeup thing, right?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay. Does he do any of the Kiss repertoire?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Okay, good. Good to know. Pat. For your benefit. Don McLean is.
