Episode Overview

This episode of The BOB & TOM Show "B&T Extra" blends signature comedy and zany banter as the cast digs into two hilarious topics: the cancellation of a Halloween event at a Colorado coroner’s office under macabre circumstances, plus a highly entertaining segment in which the guys try on a variety of wigs. The episode is marked by quick-witted musical parodies, playful ribbing, and some memorable visual gags that shine even through audio.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Halloween Gone Wrong: The Coroner’s Office Scandal

(06:04 – 09:21)

• The crew riff on a real-life news story: a family-friendly Halloween party canceled by the Pueblo County coroner’s office in Colorado after the discovery of 24 decomposing bodies hidden behind a mortuary wall.
• The team delivers a blend of dark humor and incredulity about the series of events and how the new coroner’s attempt to regain public trust with a “safe” Halloween party backfired.

Tom Griswold (06:13):
"The Colorado coroner's office has canceled its safe and sweet family friendly Halloween party due to ongoing concerns regarding rotting corpses..."

Musical Parody Highlight

(06:56 – 08:39)
Pat Godwin launches into a twisted, toe-tapping Halloween parody song, imagining the mortuary as a party zone:

Pat Godwin, singing (07:15):
"Jack sits in a casket eatin' a Snickers bar / Kim guesses how many glass eyes are in that jar..."

This tune is packed with macabre wordplay, such as “Margaret rest in Reese’s pieces,” and tongue-in-cheek imagery about “making s’mores in an oven that smells like roasted meat.”

2. The Wig-Trying Challenge – Laughter and Gentle Roasting

(09:27 – 21:00)

Anticipation & Wig Reveal

• The team builds up to a long-awaited stunt: everyone trying on a selection of wigs and toupees, with plenty of comic commentary about the variety and quality of their choices.

Josh Arnold (09:33):
"It’s finally here. It’s like Christmas morning."

• Multiple types of wigs are described, ranging from “presidential” to “froe-ish” and “Robert Redford” styles, with Jess Hooker having curated the selection.

Putting on Wigs: Descriptions and Reactions

• Tom Griswold tries on a thick, “Robert Redford” style wig and finds it surprisingly warm and itchy.

Bob Kevoian (11:38):
"It’s really warm."

• Discussion ensues about how unnatural dyed hair can look with aging skin.

Bob Kevoian (12:28):
"When you get older, the skin doesn’t match the hair."

• Bob recalls running into someone who suddenly started wearing a toupee and the unwritten social rules about whether to acknowledge such changes.

Bob Kevoian (13:20):
"Do you say, 'Oh, I like the new wig?'"

• The team swaps wigs, laughing about appearances; some styles look like “Harpo Marx dipped his head in ink” (15:01), others like an “old conductor from Bugs Bunny cartoons” (16:46).

Visual Comedy Thrives on Audio

• Despite the segment being meant for video, the personalities keep the theater of the mind alive, with ongoing commentary about fit, style, and how wigs instantly transform their faces.

Tom Griswold (20:28):
"It's amazing how much it changes someone's face..."

• There’s talk about pranking the public by wearing wigs to local stores and not acknowledging the obvious change.

Pat Godwin (12:55):
"And you never mention it. If they bring it up, just go, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

• The idea of matching wigs with facial features for the most “convincing” transformation sparks playful one-upmanship and plenty of belly laughs.
