Pat
So honey, do you like your new four blade razor?
Christy
It's okay, I guess, but it's still not enough.
Bob
I just wish there was some way I could cut my face with even more blades.
Christopher
Well, your prayers have been answered. Bob and Tom Laboratories have devised the most technologically advanced shaving system in the world. It features not just a measly two or three blades, or even four. It's the most blade intensive system on the market, bristling with 57 separate titanium honed blades per razor. Wow.
Josh
It looks awesome.
Bob
Let me try it.
Pat
Aren't that many blades dangerous?
Christopher
Not in the least. The handle has been ergonomically designed for precision control and maneuverability. It's the safest razor on the market.
Tom
Well, what do you call it?
Christopher
The Decapitator.
Bob
Why settle for three or four blades?
Christopher
When you can have 57, that's enough blades to bush hog an acre of mixed growth forest plant. And they're all precisely synchronized to maintain optimum contact with your skin. It's like having your whiskers ripped out by angels. There's only one cavitated.
Bob
It's so smooth and close. I feel like. Oh.
Christy
Oh my God.
Josh
Honey, what happened?
Christy
Oh God.
Bob
I. I think I just severed my carotid armor and sliced right through.
Tom
Oh, God.
Christy
Oh God, help me.
Christopher
Don't worry. Besides the abundance of blades, the Decapitator also comes equipped with a soothing aloe.
Christy
Strip that is refreshing.
Bob
But it's doing nothing to stop the flow of blood.
Pat
Oh my God.
Tom
Use a towel.
Christy
I'll just make a tourniquet.
Josh
Not that towel.
Pat
Those are for the guests.
Tom
So much bl.
Bob
Like a geyser of red.
Christopher
Don't worry about blood. Or even chunks of vein and tissue. The Decapitator's open cartridge design makes rinsing and cleaning easier than ever.
Bob
Look at the pretty bright tunnel of light. Hello, grandmama. I'm coming to see you.
Pat
Please try and hold on, honey.
Christy
Angels.
Bob
The Decapitator.
Christopher
It's the last shade you'll ever need. Also new from Bob and Tom Laboratories, the first bathtub mounted electric toaster for those mornings when you just don't have time to fool around in the kitchen. I believe I'll take a bath and have some toast. The rub, a dub tub toaster and the Decapitator only from Bob and Tom Laboratories. For those of you who always need something extra.
Tom
Well, here you go.
Bob
This is Bob and Tom. Extra.
Tom
I wanna Christy to do this story about this poor guy gets his dream car. Well, you'll see what happens.
Josh
Yeah. Okay, hold on a second. I wasn't prepared for that. The man saved up 10 years to buy his dream car. It was a brand new Ferrari 458 Spider. Oh yeah. Ended up watching.
Tom
That is a. That is a beautiful machine.
Ace
Yeah, I've seen some. They're very flat. Very flat.
Josh
Yes. They're very low to the ground.
Ace
Yes.
Josh
But he ended up watching that Ferrari go up in flames the day he drove it for the first time. Yes. Japanese social media abuzz with the sad story of a Mr. Hong Kong.
Ace
Come on.
Josh
H o n K o n. Oddly.
Christy
Enough, that's also the sound his horn makes.
Josh
Mr. Hong Kong.
Tom
Hong Kong.
Christy
Hong Kong.
Josh
A young music producer who spent a fortune on this dream Ferrari sports car.
Christy
Is it another apology text?
Josh
The 33 year old recently took to X Twitter to share the Story of how he could only enjoy his dream Ferrari for a few minutes. It caught fire while he was driving it on the Shooto Expressway in Tokyo.
Ace
Oh, yeah, the Shooto Expressway.
Bob
Right by the Hershey Highway.
Ace
Yeah, exactly.
Christy
So I was heading down to Shudo and. Well, yeah, it's on fire.
Ace
He had no insurance or something. What's the big deal here?
Bob
What's going on?
Tom
Well, the problem was he had one of those hibachi grills right there. Right there in the front seat.
Ace
That would be.
Josh
Did you spill something?
Tom
Yeah, I gotta spill over here.
Josh
Oh, my God.
Bob
Every day with the spill.
Christy
It really does seem like every day you spill something.
Bob
You're gonna have to wear a stickum now, like the football player.
Josh
Can we get you a Velcro cup so it sticks to the table?
Tom
What is your problem?
Ace
It is only a matter of months before we go.
Christy
Tom.
Ace
Here, look at this brochure. Doesn't this place look.
Bob
I mean, they have watched, they have bocce.
Ace
Oh, and look, these people just seem.
Bob
To be enjoying smiling in the brochure.
Christy
Everyone' and look, the people, they all wear name tags. Is that nice?
Tom
Thunder control.
Ace
Look. And if you spill something, there are people to clean you.
Bob
Wednesday Sloppy.
Christy
I'd be interested to find out if you'll answer me honestly, how did the latest spill occur?
Tom
I put this straw in because I'm drinking iced tea. So I put ice in it.
Christy
Yeah.
Tom
And I didn't want the ice to be rattling.
Christy
Right. Oh, unlike your sugar packets. Yeah.
Tom
So I put a straw in. Then when I reached back, I caught the straw.
Bob
Oh, that happened.
Ace
That does.
Tom
This is why I keep scissors here.
Ace
I don't know what.
Tom
So I can cut your straws off so it doesn't stick out. And then. And then I take. I take this straw so I can snort fentanyl during. During the breaks. And then I can. Then I can also use it mentioning that.
Christy
Okay.
Tom
For a little. A little. The enemo.
Christy
Enemo. The man. See, the man who has a spell in the studio.
Bob
The man.
Christy
What happened, sir?
Ace
So does this guy get a new spider?
Josh
I don't know. That's all the information I have. I'm sorry.
Tom
I like the guy's name.
Bob
Look at.
Ace
Looks like a toasted marshmallow.
Bob
That is.
Christy
That. That's like a quarter of a million dollars, I think. Price point that a Ferrari.
Tom
Like that is ridiculous.
Josh
Let's look at the price point.
Christy
What kind of incredible loser has to buy like a little sports car to make him feel.
Tom
Yeah, like he's like the one you have in the park.
Christy
Shut up. Like he's, you know, somebody, you know, maybe I always belittled at work.
Ace
Oh, I like that.
Josh
You guys like your cars about 233 to $287,000. Is this what?
Tom
280. Oh, wow.
Josh
Yeah. So a quarter of a million dollars.
Tom
Okay. You nailed it.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Have you ever noticed sometimes though, you see the guys, they're men of a certain age and they're in some of those really low slung cars and they can't get out.
Josh
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Christy
Oh, yeah.
Tom
They pull up. They pull up when you see this sort of elaborate dance where they have to put their thing, then they gotta pull on a rod to get out.
Josh
Yeah, it's.
Ace
I prefer to climb up and climb down, getting in and out of a car.
Josh
Oh, you mean like I wanna step.
Ace
Up and step down?
Tom
When my mom was. Toward the end, when she was very. She was in her mid-90s, she loved my Suburban because she could walk up to it, grab that handle, and there was a step to get in and she couldn't really get in a regular car, comfortably.
Josh
Yeah, it is hard.
Tom
So, yeah, I. And I've been driving either suburbans or SUVs for so long, I can't remember the last time I. I haven't owned.
Josh
A regular car and a sedan, if.
Tom
You will, in 40 years.
Christy
Really?
Tom
No, I haven't. I mean, a regular car.
Bob
Datsun, right?
Christopher
Probably.
Tom
Yeah.
Christy
I still can't get over. They stop pretty much making sedans and.
Josh
Major car companies really hard to find a good one.
Christy
They're all.
Ace
Everything's in crossovers and suv. Yeah.
Tom
It's funny, if you see an old movie, New York City, and you see all the yellow cabs and all the.
Josh
Regular cars and no SUVs.
Tom
That's all gone.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Well, I feel sorry for mister. Looks like this guy's name is spelled H O N K O N. So is it hon Khan or Honkon?
Josh
I don't know. I don't know. I would say, you know what?
Bob
Last name's Bobo.
Christy
I say because we find out. And it starts with discussing it endlessly.
Tom
Because my point, Josh, is that honk on sounds like a sex move. Oh, I got my honk on.
Christy
He's lovely.
Tom
I got it all over my face.
Christy
You know, I think it's great that you can enjoy it that much by yourself. Yes, really nice.
Tom
I'm over here soaked.
Bob
Well, oh my gosh.
Christopher
You are.
Josh
In the other room.
Tom
I do. I have a pair of pants in the other room.
Josh
All right. Well, go change and we'll take a.
Bob
Whole wardrobe, wardrobe rack back there.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Christy
It's like a Nordstrom.
Josh
We can get you a sippy cup.
Bob
That might be next.
Christy
That's what you need.
Josh
You do?
Bob
Yeah.
Josh
Why don't you have a Stanley like everybody else in your family?
Christy
You hate Stanley's.
Josh
Why do you hate them?
Tom
Because they're. They chew up the.
Christy
Do they.
Tom
The. What's the thing call the. The cup holders.
Ace
Oh, yeah.
Tom
And they take up so much room.
Josh
They make different sizes.
Tom
I can't reach the radio because there's a.
Ace
They're white. They're very.
Tom
A 3 foot Stanley in the way.
Ace
Because of all the damage to cup holders. They're very unpopular.
Josh
Yeah, Nobody wants.
Christy
Yeah, nobody wants.
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
Stock is down.
Tom
There's one other person out there that hates them as much as I do.
Josh
I'm sure they. Different sizes, though. You don't have to get the big one.
Tom
Oh, no, my dog. My daughters have the ones that. They're like camels. They could drink for a week.
Ace
I have the owlie. It's wider. Oh, thank you very much. Laurel and Hardy joke. If anybody wanted to pay attention, that'd be cool.
Josh
No, I don't get it.
Bob
Tom is very distracted.
Tom
I did an Amos and Andy. Amos and Andy.
Bob
Stan and Ollie.
Ace
Stanley and Ollie. You know, when you don't get things, you can just sit quietly and you won't look so dumb.
Christy
Oliver Hardy. Golly. Ollie.
Josh
Oliver.
Christy
Hello.
Bob
Oh, my goodness.
Josh
See? A lot of Stanley and all broken loose in here.
Tom
You know, it's.
Christy
It's not very top of mind, you know.
Tom
Which one was the fat one?
Josh
The Ollie guy.
Ace
Oliver Hardy.
Josh
Was he the fat one?
Ace
Yes.
Bob
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
So that's ironic that the Stanleys are.
Christy
So big, you know, Stan.
Bob
It's a hell of a leap you took there.
Tom
Finally paid off. Josh.
Ace
No, no.
Christy
You know, Stan Laurel lived in the Los Angeles area and he was in the phone book in like the early 60s. Before he died. Yeah, of course, when he died, he wasn't in the phone book. I mean, he was. Didn't do you any good.
Ace
Eventually edited.
Christy
Yeah. After you died. You call him all day?
Tom
I'm still mopping over here.
Bob
Was it a full cup?
Christy
Yes. This is the most outstanding thing I've ever seen in my life.
Bob
Boy, if one of us.
Christy
Can you imagine, he would ban drinks in the studio. It would be all over for us.
Tom
Sorry, I.
Christy
It was just.
Tom
Minor spill.
Josh
A minor spill.
Christy
Suck sucks.
Tom
Brand new. Brand new cup of iced tea.
Bob

Josh
Oh, now we're back to Body Heat. My full circle.
Tom
Yes. And I spilled some right on my anus.
Christy
Well, now, how did you spill tea on your.
Tom
You have to want to purposeful, knowing that you'd want to lick it all.
Christy
Go ahead. All right.
Josh
They'Re licking off the backside.
Tom
No, no, no.
Christy
Yeah, that one character. Butt Munch, you know.
Ace
Hell, yeah. Oh, geez, here comes Button.
Bob
It wasn't even popular then.
Ace
Anybody got a butt I can munch?
Christy
Hey, how you doing? I'm Butt much? That nickname. Ah, well, you'll find out.
Ace
Anybody got a Soitz?
Christy
Turn around. Can I munch your butt with Redson?
Tom
Isn't that one of your songs, Pat?
Bob
What?
Tom
Munch your butt. Munch about baby.
Christy
Munch about baby.
Bob
I like that.
Ace
What do you guys prefer, Cracker Jack or Butt much? Butt Button Munch.
Christy
Do you remember screaming yellow Zonkers?
Ace
Yes.
Josh
Yes.
Christy
Yeah, those were like popcorn snacks.
Ace
And then my grandpa called Cheetos zonkers.
Christy
Oh, he did?
Ace
Everything became zonkers. That's wonderful. Hey, you want some Zonkers?
Bob
He called the nurse soccer.
Tom
Yeah. Yeah, he was mildly insane, but just the laugh. Last two decades. I'm sorry, Christy, I've lost my place last. Oh, we had the poor guy whose Ferrari caught on fire. Yeah.
Bob
Well, I.
Ace
You hate to hear it, because the guy did say for 10 years.
Tom
But, I mean, wouldn't he have had insurance?
Ace
Hopefully it was replaced somehow. Yeah, they're not supposed to burst into flames, right?
Josh
I would think it might be a Ferrari.
Tom
I mean, maybe this guy. Did he ram into something and it caught him?
Ace
No, it sounds like it was.
Josh
It caught on fire on the freeway.
Christy
It didn't burst into flames. It was a thermal incident.
Ace
Oh, that's right.
Christy
Thank you.
Josh
Oh, yeah, there you go.
Tom
I'm sorry, Christy, isn't there a video.
Christy
Of a guy I bought. Just bought a new Harley and he.
Tom
Yes. Yeah. He crashes right up front.
Christy
He peels out of the. On the lot and just fishtails and wipes out. Wrecks the whole bike.
Josh
Hasn't anybody crashed a car on a test drive? Oh, maybe I'm the only one.
Tom
Oh, you did?
Christy
Really?
Tom
Yeah.
Ace
What do they do?
Josh
I hit another car in the. In the lot.
Tom
By the way, that's a sensitive topic.
Josh
I ended up buying the car because I felt so guilty, I didn't even.
Christy
Want the damn thing Were you Christy yet?
Josh
Yeah. Oh, yeah. This was early Christy.
Christy
Okay.
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
So you bought the car?
Josh
Yeah, I bought the car. And then the car that I hit, the insurance took care of it, I guess. I don't know. Yeah, so I drove a new quote, unquote. It was a used car, but it was still new to me. That had a.
Tom
Forever a bad, bad topic. There was a. There was an incident in the parking lot here. Here at the Shack.
Ace
Oh, really?
Christy
The Shack's not here.
Tom
But it's. I mean, it's our other place of business. Well, you wouldn't know that.
Ace
No, but who hit.
Christy
I was just there. You know why I'm not over there more often?
Tom
Because I'm there.
Christy
Yep, that's it.
Tom
Yes. Two of our employees had a scrape.
Josh
Oh, no, there's not even that much.
Tom
Okay, I know. How would you possibly. It's a small parking lot. They ran into each other.
Christy
Sounds like somebody's trying to meet somebody. That sounds like.
Tom
Okay, I'm sorry. Let's move forward. What else have you got over there?
Christy
I want to munch my butt.
Ace
Oh.
Josh
Well, that's a hell of an opening line.
Tom
Sadly, there's probably a guy that uses it and sadly, he.
Christy
Oh, yeah.
Ace
It works once.
Tom
It's like the guy that exposes himself. It must have worked for one guy one time.
Christy
When it works, it works.
Tom
We do have Crystal Lee over there. Do we have our chimpanzee story?
Christy
Well, now, wait a minute. We're gonna get the picture of me and you from the chicken on Instagram. It's. It's. Albeit an old picture, but I think it captures our personalities perfectly. It might be a surprise to some.
Josh
But I am surprised. It's just. You have a picture of just the two of you.
Christy
I have several pictures of it.
Bob
Just the two.
Christy
We're sitting in a love seat on the Atlantic Ocean looking over the Bahamas. Oh, nice. There we are.
Bob
Look at you guys, huh?
Christy
How about that?
Ace
That you guys are having fun.
Christy
Yeah.
Tom
Look how sunburned you are.
Christy
Yeah.
Bob
Both of you.
Josh
A little. Yeah. You have a little color.
Christy
You have white top.
Bob
That was when you actually went out in the sun.
Josh
Did you have.
Ace
Those are the widest teeth I've ever come across.
Christy
Look how non existent my teeth are.
Bob
You guys are loaded in that show.
Christy
Look how many.
Ace
Yeah, yeah.
Christy
That is a. Oh, we are.
Tom
We are.
Christy
So. We are.
Bob
So you are five.
Tom
Yeah. I'm flying the plane. You can't see the control.
Christy
And I'm playing stewardess.
Josh
Yes, that's right.
Tom
Okay, this next story I think is really interesting in the world of science. It involves chimps.
Ace
Oh, monkeys, gorillas.
Josh
How many times do I have to tell you?
Christy
What are they?
Josh
Chimpanzees are not. They are great apes.
Christy
Chimpanzees.
Josh
Scientists observed wild chimpanzees bonding over alcohol.
Ace
Now, is it true that chimpanzees, pure chimpanzees, have to come from chimpanzee France?
Christy
That's right.
Ace
Okay, I thought that was exactly right.
Josh
Something came in.
Tom
That's why so many of them are named Bubbles.
Bob
You know what? On your birthday you're going to get standing open.
Christy
That's amazing.
Tom
Yes, that's your Michael Jackson joke of the day.
Christy
Wonderful.
Bob
Fantastic. Tommy.
Josh
The research team in guinea captured footage of the primate sharing fermented African breadfruit.
Christy
I don't think there's any name calling.
Josh
Which is known to contain alcohol. The fermented fruit tested found to contain the equivalent of 0.61 ABV.
Ace
Pat, have you ever seen a fermented fruit?
Bob
Well, I enjoyed an artist back in the 60s.
Christy
It was I met one drunk.
Josh
Chimps were not likely getting drunk on the fruit. Scientists noted that the animals do not quote, share food all the time. So this behavior with fermented fruit might.
Christy
Be important, but they are capable of making toast.
Bob
So this is a.
Ace
So I was just going to say this is kind of a social.
Tom
So in other words.
Josh
Exactly.
Tom
Once they start drinking or not drinking, once they start eating this and it has alcohol in it, they want to share it. They become more social, which they think in evolution similarly to the when obviously we broke off from the chimps a while back.
Josh
But still they do comparisons to humans who are believed to have consumed alcohol far back into our evolutionary history with the benefits of social bonding.
Pat
Yes.
Tom
I wonder if it goes to the next step, what does that mean where after a while, all of a sudden fights start, the chimps start getting bad.
Josh
Tattoos, sleeping with anybody that walks by.
Christy
It's the smallest chimp in the group. He normal starts the fight and all of a sudden he's out outside. He doesn't know anything to do about it. And I'm getting hit in the face.
Christopher
Yeah, that's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.

Introduction to B&T Extra
In this episode of B&T Extra, host Christopher kicks off the segment by highlighting the day's topics: a man’s dream car turning into a nightmare, Tom’s amusing coffee spill mishap, and an intriguing scientific observation about chimpanzees bonding over alcohol. Listeners are prepared for a blend of humor, storytelling, and insightful discussions that the BOB & TOM Show is renowned for.
Segment I: The Decapitator – An Over-the-Top Shaving Innovation
The episode opens with a humorous skit introducing the "Decapitator," a fictional razor boasting an absurd 57 blades per cartridge. Bob and Tom, along with Pat and Christy, engage in a comedic discussion about this exaggerated shaving tool.
The skit satirizes over-engineered products, emphasizing the ridiculousness of adding unnecessary features for comedic effect.
Segment II: Mr. Hong Kong’s Dream Ferrari Turns Fiery
The conversation shifts to a real-life incident involving a man known as "Mr. Hong Kong," who invested ten years to purchase his dream car, a Ferrari 458 Spider. Tragically, the car caught fire on his very first drive down Tokyo’s Shooto Expressway, sparking discussions about automotive safety and the unforeseen pitfalls of chasing perfection.
The hosts delve into the emotional impact of such an event, the role of insurance, and the broader implications for luxury car enthusiasts. They humorously speculate on the cause, suggesting humorous possibilities like "hibachi grills in the front seat," adding levity to the somber story.
Segment III: Tom’s Coffee Spill – Comedy of Errors
Amidst the heavier stories, Tom shares a personal anecdote about spilling iced tea, leading to a series of comedic exchanges about daily spills and the absurd lengths to which one might go to prevent them.
The conversation evolves into playful banter about drink containers, specifically targeting Stanley cups and their notorious size and design, culminating in a lighthearted mockery of their practicality.
Segment IV: Chimps and Fermented Fruit – A Scientific Insight
Towards the end of the episode, the hosts introduce an intriguing scientific study observing wild chimpanzees bonding over fermented African breadfruit. This segment explores the parallels between chimp social behavior and human alcohol consumption, highlighting the evolutionary aspects of social bonding.
The discussion touches on the significance of sharing fermented fruit in chimp communities, its effect on social interactions, and the broader implications for understanding primate behavior. The hosts humorously speculate on how such behavior could escalate, drawing amusing comparisons to human societal norms.
Conclusion
Christopher wraps up the episode by thanking listeners and reminding them to catch up on B&T Extra through various platforms like iTunes, Google Play, and Stitcher. The episode concludes with a brief promotional segment from the U.S. Soccer Podcast, seamlessly transitioning out of the main content.
