We're just waiting for the cast to actually show up for work. Here's more Bob and Tom extra.
Josh
I've got this. And then I need to play this stupid world record. A man in India has created the world's smallest washing machine. Mr. Sabin s e B I N Saji crafted a functional washing machine measuring 1.28 by 1.32 by 1.52 inches.
Tom
So this thing's slightly bigger than a golf ball.
Bob
Wow.
Josh
I think it's smaller than a golf ball.
Christy
So what can you wash in it?
Josh
Guinness World Record noted that the device weighs just 25 grams, which is slightly heavier than two Oreo cookies. Normal stuff.
Bob
All right.
Josh
Mr. Saji's tiny washing machine is capable of running a full cycle. Wash, rinse and spin.
Christy
What do you hook that up to?
Josh
A really tiny water hose.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
But get the metal one so it doesn't burst.
Christy
How cute that is on video.
Josh
The funniest thing is him putting the detergent in it.
Christy
Oh, come on.
Bob
Yeah.
Christy
All right.
Tom
It's. There's. You can see there's a set of batteries near it that it runs off. And the batteries are twice as long as this thing is.
Christy
Yes.
Tom
It's tiny. Tiny. It's simply in a country that has the point. Yeah. In a country that really hasn't perfected the flush toilet. They've got this guy.
Josh
I think. I think they've got that down. You ugly American.
Tom
Oh, yeah. Take a look. See?
Bob
I'd love to go to India.
Christy
Have you been to India?
Tom
No, and I never.
Bob
One of my really good friends is from India and goes back like six months out of the year. And I'd like to go with him at some point.
Christy
He should go.
Bob
Yeah, I'd love to see the Taj.
Tom
Our guest from yesterday, Nick Novicki, has one of those washing machines party at the.
Bob
He's a little person.
Josh
He's not.
Christy
He's not.
Josh
He's not letting it go even though the guy's gone.
Bob
Yeah, you're right.
Josh
And did you hear. Did you hear him yesterday? He was making cracks like that. And Nick, God love him, he was trying to laugh to make us feel. And he go, Tom looked. See, he gets it. What else can he do? Cry.
Bob
Yeah, that did happen. He didn't have any options. Tom goes, he likes it. And check goes. What else?
Christy
Is he supposed to.
Bob
Headbutt you in the nuts?
Josh
You're just. I said. I said this 30 years ago. He's a bully.
Christy
He is a bully.
Josh
Just a bully. We had fun.
Bob
The man's bullied.
Christy
He's been bullying.
Tom
I'm just saying, Josh, if you're going to go to India and you want to use the toilets there, take some Febreze. That's a little rough standing over a hole and just using your left hand as dude wipes.
Bob
Yeah, I'll be taking more than.
Tom
Yeah, you might want to. Is that sports?
Josh
No, we have a special correspondent.
Christy

Josh
Stupider and stupider.
Christy
Try and smash their opponent's nut.
Tom
I thought you'd love this chick. This is a very British thing.
Josh
They're hitting. Are they hitting the nuts or each other's heads?
Christy
They're like. Remember those things we had as a kid that had the plastic big round ball on it that. It's kind of like that, only you've got one and you're swinging it at your opponent, trying to crush his nuts.
Bob
So they're like a little tiny mace.
Christy
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
So you're trying to hit him or the nut.
Christy
Hit the nut.
Josh
Hit the nut.
Christy
You're supposed to hit each other's arms.

Were you in it?
Bob
No, I had to watch it though. Why?

Bob
I love that.
Christy
I love that.
Bob
That got me as a kid. I've never seen that one. I'm aware of some of the. So.
Tom
Well, it wasn't really.
Josh
The actual content of the play. Wasn't a problem. It was. One of the actors may or may not have been Jesus, who was a little ham fisted.
Christy
The Sebastian Bach.
Bob
I would think so.
Josh
Yeah.
Christy
That's not Ted Neely. Ted Neely is the only.
Bob
The ultimate Jesus.
Christy
Come on.
Tom
Isn't he still doing it at the age of 75?
Christy
Yeah, he was. I don't know.
Bob
There are guys who made. Was it Michael Crawford who was The Phantom for 97 years?
Tom
It's a good gig.
Bob
Exactly. Exactly.
Tom
Go for it. Is that sports?
Josh
No extra. NFL owners today are expected to approve former superstar quarterback Tom Brady to become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. He also already owns a small stake in the WNBA Las Vegas Aces. National Football League owners expected to approve Brady as minority owner of the Raiders today as part of the owners meeting.
Bob
Tom, don't you come from a long line of minority owners?
Josh
The value of the Raiders estimated to be almost $8 billion. And what do we know about this Tomorrow with Tom Brady being a commentator, he's commenting on NFL games. He's going to be limited to what he can do as a broadcaster. Becoming a minority owner, isn't he getting. He won't be able to take quarter.
Tom
Of a billion dollars to be a broadcaster.
Josh
He won't be able to. Well, that. I'm just telling you.
Christy
Won't be able to do Raider games. Right.

He's not going to be able to do anything. He can't go to the meetings. The production meetings. We had that story a couple months ago.

Josh
He might have to get out of his contract.
Christy
I. Yeah, he wants to quit.
Bob
Yeah.
Josh
Have you. Have you heard him recently?
Tom
Is he getting any better?
Josh
He's. Yeah, he's the greatest quarterback that ever lived. I mean, there's no other way to put it. He's has seven super bowl championship, but he can't relate to anybody. Yeah, well, you know, when I was winning my ninth championship, you know, it's just. It's wild listening to him because everything that he does as easily as we breathe. You know, normal people don't eat and breathe football from the time they open their eyes until the time they go to bed.
Tom
But you're saying he's not particularly good in the.
Josh
He's not particularly good. That's my.
Christy
It's not relatable.
Tom

Bob
All the palms in the air.
Josh
That's right. Bursting there. Yeah.
Christy
Interesting story from Hollywood. Elton John spotted on the red carpet wearing his own kneecap as a necklace. According to hello. Magazine, sir Elton John underwent double knee replacement and opted to have one of his kneecaps.
Bob
I bet he did.
Tom
Well, I think that's kind of a. That's kind of.
Bob
Kind of an honor.
Tom
And that in that culture, if you. If you worn them out.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
You spend enough time down there, someone.
Josh
Had to come up to him, someone that he's known, and go, reg, look, here's what they're going to say, Right. Somebody had to do that.
Tom
If you've worn out your knees, you've been on them so many times. Kind of a badge of honor in that culture.
Christy
He opted to have one of his kneecaps made into a necklace encrusted with diamonds. He wore the unusual piece at the premiere of his new documentary, Never Too Late.
Josh
Another documentary?
Christy
Yeah.
Bob
Isn't he a sour man?
Christy
Very.
Bob
I met him. Do we have to? He's the crankiest.
Josh
Well, yeah, I'm kind of cranky when you say good morning to me.
Bob
Not like this.
Josh
Oh, really?
Bob
Yeah, he's real cranky.
Tom
But it's just. Being that famous is hard. It just gets bothered constantly. But it's just a weird move. If you've seen this thing, it looks kind of like a. I'm gonna look it up like a slice of a rock.
Christy
Yeah.
Bob
It doesn't look good.
Christy
Yeah.
Bob
Looks weird.
Tom
Yeah. It's kind of creepy. But, hey, when he's got so much.
Christy
Money, it's not painted or anything? No, it's just diamonds on it.
Josh
He should have one of his kids. Hard to paint something on it.
Bob
Don't ask him what his bracelet is made out of.
Christy
It's hard to see.
Tom
Wow. That was. That was. No, no, no, that's not true. It's mister. It's Mr. Furnish's circumcision. He had it.
Christy
It kind of looks like a piece of ivory, maybe like an off white. And he's got diamonds around it. And it's on a pendant is about yay big. I don't know. What do you think, Pat? Yeah, it's huge.
Bob
It's bigger than I thought.
Christy
It doesn't go with his outfit? No, no, it doesn't. And it's like a slice, too. It's not like a kneecap.
Bob
Not the full patella.
Christy
Yeah, it's not the full. It's not like this big round thing on the front of him.
Tom
He didn't have to patella everybody. It's just weird. I wonder if he had the new knee when they put that in. If he had him put diamonds on that thing.
Bob
Diamonds on the caps of my knees?
Christy
No, I don't think so.
Bob
He's had a lot taken out.
Christy
Oh, here we go. This is a better picture. Oh, I see. So if you can see the diamonds, there's a hole in the center of his kneecap where your ligaments probably go. And he's got the diamonds around that part, but it's more of like a.
Bob
What a weirdo. Of course he's a weirdo.
Christy
If you could wear one part of your body as a piece of jewelry.
Tom
Which part would you put?
Bob
Oh, that's interesting.
Tom
Hang on a second.
Christy
You mean.
Tom
You mean a part of your body that could be removed and without.
Christy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Say you have to have a shoulder replacement. Right. Would you wear your shoulder?
Josh
I don't know. What? I had my shoulder repaired. I don't know if they took anything out, but I'd probably pick that.
Bob
I think the hip's too big, right? To carry.
Christy
Yeah, the hip's pretty big. Well, you could do a slice like he did of his knee.
Bob
Oh, that's just a slice.
Christy
Yeah. That's not the whole knee.
Tom
I don't know why I said it like that. Now, Pat, do you have some kind of a tribute to Elliot?
Bob
I do. We're gonna have to come back with it because it's on the piano.
Tom
Oh, okay.
Bob
In the other room.
Tom
All right.
Josh
I think my little toe. I'd cut off my little toe and Wear it around.
Christy
Would you really?
Bob
Around your neck.
Josh
Yeah, but your little toe doesn't do anything. Yeah, does it? Looks gross. Doesn't it keep balance or something? Well, no, I'd paint it.
Christy
I think. I think most parts of your body are.
Josh
There's a reason for that.
Christy
Except for the appendix. Appendix. There you go. You can put your appendix and appendix.
Josh
Keeps track of all your body parts.
Bob
It does.

Christy
You weren't there.
Tom
There was a shark dive. I have many witnesses and it was the stupidest thing I've ever done. And the guy's going, oh, the sharks never hurt anybody. I'm thinking, wait a minute. What if one of the sharks didn't get the memo? It was terrifying. I would never do it again.
Josh
Were you trying to do 10 minutes with the guys who were running the. The shark? Yeah. You're trying to do standup for him, weren't you? Yes, you were. You were trying to crack jokes with him before you went in the water.
Bob
Like that memo thing.
Josh
Yeah, that just now. The sharks didn't get the memo. What do you think, guys? Is that it? That's what you were doing? Not at all. I don't believe you.
Tom
You don't believe anything I say because you weren't too big of a pussy. You were just drinking. You were just. You were just drinking tequila on the shore. I was out there being a man.
