Tom Griswold
No, no. There's no coming back from whore. There's no Hallmark CR you can buy. You know, Sorry I called you, but now I love you even more. Don't even look. It's our way of making sure you haven't missed anything. This is Bob and Tom. Extra. A couple quick things going on. Willie, can you explain this? I've got this beautiful. I don't know how to describe it. It's like a. The size of a. What are those things on the street with the stop sign? Manhole covers. Manhole covers. Thank you. I thought it was stop sign. I was like. Well, they're used to ignoring those, so it makes sense you wouldn't know the name of it. Tom Griswold attended Columbia University in New York City. I bluffed my William. Yeah. That's the size of a manhole. Nobody's that good. It's a Cleveland Browns dog pound thing. And where'd this come from? My buddy Colin down in Louisville. He works at a place called Hex Head. And they make all this stuff. It's like wall. And he brings him to my shows. And I had the show in Louisville with Han a few weeks ago, so we brought those around. That's just for you. He got him for a lot of folks on our staff. Thank you. Thanks, Colin. I got one. You got one, Ace. Oh, there we go. I got Notre Dame. Oh, it's for the Raiders. Yeah, man. He's Super Bowls. So? So he has no standards. He'll do it for anything. He'll do it. I got this commander, like two years ago or three. It's in my bar right now. They. It's like a big. Like your brown size. Is that made of metal? A big W? Yeah. It's really cool. It's all made, hand painted.
Bob Kevoian
I got boilermaker for my daughter Sophie.
Tom Griswold
What's the name of the company again? Hex Head. And Colin comes to the shows. He brings his girl. They're the greatest. Yeah. Love you, Colin. Thank you, man. Thank you, Colin. Very cool. Great guy. Now I got this letter. Yeah, What? I've been told to read this. Okay. Once. It says hello to my favorite talk show hosts. Last Night, I had a Tom moment. I was going outside to smoke, as Tom would say, a little reefer. Nice. When my wife asked where I was going. And for some reason, I could remember the word joint. So I said, I'm going to smoke a pot stick. Okay. Makes sense to me. Pot stick. Yeah, that makes sense. Hot pot stickers. There's also a thing we were talking about called a Thai stick. That's some good stuff. Is that exotic?
Bob Kevoian
That was big back in the 70s.
Tom Griswold
I want to say hash or something. Hash oil dipped in something. That's what you guys are heading. I see. I see why. The guy I was buying it from, he shorted me. I love getting your lips. My dad selling me tie stick. He gave me a discount.
Bob Kevoian
Did he?
Tom Griswold
Your dad was a marijuana dealer? Yes, he was.
Bob Kevoian
Did he have the tie stick or did he just stick it?
Tom Griswold
I shut my eyes and he has one of those little leather cigarette folding machines. And he would fold the cigarette. The marijuana joints while we watched Laugh In. Oh. And. Yeah, and he. He smoked regular cigarettes, right? He smoked Camels. No filters. And he did not smoke marijuana when I was ever around, that I can remember. Did he give you a lecture while doing it or. Nope.
Bob Kevoian
Did you know it was wrong at the time?
Tom Griswold
Nope. I didn't know nothing.
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
Tom Griswold
That's what I told the cops. I thought he was just rolling his cigarettes. I don't know if I was aware of marijuana. I was a. I was a Partridge Family, Bobby, Sherman Monke, Banana Splits kid. I didn't know all that. Naughty drug talk. I think the monkeys were high on the reefer.
Bob Kevoian
Nah, I think so.
Tom Griswold
Well, that ruined. Well, you mean the now, you know, the Beatles. There was a cute one, the serious one. Monkeys, the. The pain in the ass one. Mike. I bet he smoked dope. Or maybe he didn't. That's why he was so. So grumpy.
Bob Kevoian
No, it's Peter Torque that did.
Tom Griswold
By the way, are you your mother in 1961? I think the monkeys are on reefer. I think they're on the reefer. Oh, yeah. Well, I. We're not reefer people. Were you with me when we saw Davy Jones?
Bob Kevoian
I was, yes. At Epcot.
Tom Griswold
You remember Christy slid out of her seat when he walked up?
Bob Kevoian
I saw Davy Jones at the America Pavilion in Epcot and he sang right to me.
Tom Griswold
I met Davey backstage at an event.
Bob Kevoian
No, I was not there.
Tom Griswold
I'll just say he was quite. He passed away. You can go ahead and say he had a white booger kind of suspended in his nose. An Amazing. White booger. Yeah. And I'll tell this because he's also passed away. Peter Tor was on the show, and he played the guitar, and it seemed okay, but it could have been the worst guitar I've ever heard.
Bob Kevoian
And he sat right there. I remember that.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
No, he wasn't very good.
Tom Griswold
And Todd y looked at me and I looked at him, and Todd Yan said the F word like this. That's a true story. Speaking of guitars. Oh, hey, Pat, can you play your song? We were talking off the air about a certain person who showed up on the Epstein list. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Friend of the show. A. Well, it's Adam. Comedian. I'm just glad my name hasn't come up yet. Well, I mean, we were tight. I just feel sorry. We're boys. I feel sorry for the journalists. He's my boy. That have to go through. What is it now? 10 million pages of whatever testimony. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Will it ever stop?
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom Griswold
And now this is a song about it. It's called the Epstein list. Who's on the Epstein list? The country's mad wives are pissed. You know, it's just politics. But it seems everybody's on the Epstein list. Prince Andrew, that's obvious. But everybody's on the Epstein list. Nelson Mandela, the peace activist Someone said he's on the Epstein list. Desmond Tutu and Pope Francis Mr. Rogers what are the chances? The Dalai Lama's publicist Seems everybody's on the Epstein list. The guy from Dunkin Donuts who gets up early Larry Mo and the first Curly the unknown comic, the maharishi the guy who sold me my Mitsubishi. The guitar tech from Genesis. Everybody's on the Epstein list. Epstein people are pissed. Who's really on it? Who'd they miss? Left side, right side, down the middle. That guy from the band Kansas who plays the fiddle. Even my girlfriend's really pissed. Apparently, I'm on the Epstein list. The first Curly. Oh, yeah. Not Curly Joe. Dorito. Whatever it was. Ever notice every picture of Epstein? He's got his mouth closed. What if he had bad teeth?
Bob Kevoian
No, and I don't want to know. I don't care. I don't want to talk. I guess Bill and Hillary are going to be testifying the end of the month.
Tom Griswold
Oh, God. Finally getting divorced?
Bob Kevoian
No. In front of the House committee about the Epstein files.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. Now, coming up. Let me tell you something. I did not know Jeffrey Epstein. Yeah. I was not even sure who it was. Those pictures, that was the early version of asa. You're Kind of nailing Clinton right now. Yeah. I had a friend, Jeff, buy me gum. I remember any EP scene. Certainly thought it was a regular. Regular gum. I can't put stuff in gum, can it? We get versions of this story all the time. Did you see this story about the guy and the. With the. The blowtorch? And did I give that one to you? This is great.
Bob Kevoian
A Massachusetts man set fire to his house while using a blowtorch to melt ice. Fire crews responded to the home in Milton and spent hours putting out the stubborn blaze. Amid the icy conditions. The homeowner told WHDH that he was up on a ladder trying to melt ice in his gutter when the fire broke out and spread through the attic. Neither the man nor his wife were injured. Milton Fire Lt. John Earner said the incident serves as a lesson. Call in a professional when trying to take care of ice buildup and extreme cold. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to do?
Tom Griswold
You buy the blowtorch. You want to have fun with it. You can't make creme brulee every day. You got to go up on the gutter. You got to light your own house on fire. Didn't. Did Jess Hooker have a blowtorch?
Bob Kevoian
Yes.
Tom Griswold
She was melting ice on that driveway. Yeah, yeah. We get these all the time. We had the one. She's a survivalist. We had one where a guy. It was a lady. Burned down an apartment complex. She was trying to kill roaches, and she had a small flamethrower.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, God.
Tom Griswold
But, yeah, this guy almost burned his house down. But the good news is he got rid of the ice in the gutters. Thank goodness. And the roof. That can be pesky, can't it? Have you seen those videos on. I don't know why they seem to be popping up more in my timeline, a guy knocks one of those vents off the side of a house. You've seen them. They're like an octagon.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know, they're like vents on. Knocked it away. And there were like, 30 bats come flying out of his house. And then there's like, some took a piece of siding in a room, and there's the biggest beehive you've ever seen. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I'm on that Instagram ladies thing.
Tom Griswold
And they said they only we couldn't understand where the humming was coming from. It was a gigantic hive.
Bob Kevoian
There's a gal with an Instagram account, and all she does is go in and take care of these huge. These huge bee infestations. It's amazing where they go. It's fascinating.
Tom Griswold
Now, Pat, can you grab your guitar? Don't you do a series, as I recall, where you take songs, and often a song. For example, most famously yesterday, the great Paul McCartney song, started off as scrambled Eggs. Didn't you have an early version of Bruce Springsteen? And that great song of his, I'm on Fire? Is that. What is it called, I'm on Fire. Or is it just Fire?
Bob Kevoian
I'm on Fire, I think.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I think I had something like that. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, and here's a little tip, because this happened in my friend's neighborhood. Do you need more time?
Tom Griswold
Go ahead. What do you got?
Bob Kevoian
If you have those, use batteries for, like, your lawnmower, or make sure that you unplug those because. And charge them in the charger that they're provided with, because that can. It caused a major fire for someone. Yes.
Tom Griswold
I mean, like the one on my leaf blower.
Bob Kevoian
Yes. But you use the actual charger it came with. Right. You don't have, like, a different charger?
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, I got the same. Are you sure? Watch this. Are you sure that's the right charger? I'll check that.
Bob Kevoian
You might want to unplug them, too. When you're. When they're charged, make sure you unplug.
Tom Griswold
But I know you're not an alarmist, so you won't take this too far. You'll be fine. Okay. Now, Pat once again explores the origin of great songs. They often start off with either nonsense lyrics. Yeah. Or alternate lyrics. Again, Paul McCartney. Yesterday was scrambled Eggs. The first draft. This is Springsteen's the first draft of I'm on Fire. Rigging up leaves after school Burn them in the pie with diesel fuel no flames getting higher. I'm on fire My wife left me all alone Think I'll make chicken while she's not home oh, no, I spilled the fryer. The house is on fire. I love you very much. Yes. He's very too literal. Yeah. People often ask, do you guys plan this show?
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom Griswold
Is this live? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was very good. So don't. Don't take a flamethrower to your house.
Bob Kevoian
A blowtorch, whichever. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I was having, like, two houses ago. They were doing some painting. I had a house that was built in 1924. Beautiful house. Some friends of mine live in it now, and with this beautiful porch. Yeah. And they were out there with those. Burn Somatic torches on ladders. Burning off the lead paint on this. Well, sometimes that's how you have to get the Paint off. And it kept catching on fire. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
What?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Well, they're staying. You have to hang with it, but. Yeah, that's how you do it. Yeah. You're. They're burning it and then scraping it. They're scraped. And you put the fire out. Yeah. You do as best you can. There's no other way to get that paint off sometimes. Beautiful Porsche scorch. I bet it looks fine now. Yeah. Yeah, it's right now.
Bob Kevoian
Don't look at the ceiling. It's a little scorched.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Be careful out there with those torches. And you smell it every now and then. Only when it's wet. No. We return to the news desk with Christy Lee.
Bob Kevoian
A long lost class ring from Nebraska's Crete High School has finally made its way home after more than half a century. A beachcomber with a metal detector unearthed the 1966 class ring buried in the sand on a Belmore, New Jersey, beach and noticed initials on it. He worked with local librarians and the Crete Public Schools foundation to trace the ring back to Barbara wildage, class of 66. Family and longtime classmates were stunned to learn the ring had survived decades and turned up nearly 13 miles from home with little damage. I said 1300 miles, didn't I?
Tom Griswold
No.
Bob Kevoian
What'd I say? 1300 miles from home with little damage. Wildage's sister said, the journey remains a mystery, but the return is a reminder of kindness and community connections. I assume the woman's not with us anymore.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I couldn't tell.
Bob Kevoian
Well, if she's not involved in getting her ring back, it sounds like she's not with us.
Tom Griswold
I'm not. It doesn't say that she's missing, but I'm sure before she died, she thought, at what point did you see this? And you said, hey, this will be a good story to read. Yeah, everybody loves class rings, so we got to talk about those. You know, I hawked my class ring during the. The first. Well, you know this. During the first gold boom in, like, the 80s or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
How much do you get for it? You remember?
Tom Griswold
I don't remember how much I hawked
Bob Kevoian
my first wedding ring.
Tom Griswold
There you go. I did, too. I like using the term hawk. It's nice. Well, I'm sure she probably thought this would never fall out of that guy's ass.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, my gosh. Well, I hope she's dead.
Tom Griswold
That's a bad story. Do you have your other one? I wish I was dead. Do you have any of your other wedding rings? You brought it up. Don't give me the stink eye.
Bob Kevoian
First one. I do not. The second one, the diamond was reset. The third one.
Tom Griswold
No. Well, you.
Bob Kevoian
I have the band.
Tom Griswold
Don't you have to keep that for the girls? Right. All that's left is the band of gold. All that's left, free to pain. You can't touch her.
Bob Kevoian
But see, when you have two girls, then sure. Who gets the. You know.
Tom Griswold
Well, luckily you have enough husbands to go around. You can get knocked up. Said the guy who's been married three times. Thank you very much. That was thoughtful of you, Christy.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. That's what you were. That's what you were doing. You have to have enough husbands for your daughter. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
So they could each have a ring. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What's the tradition? Are you supposed to hang on to the wedding dress?
Bob Kevoian
Okay. So I did. Okay. I got. They yelled at me for this, too. I. The wedding dress that I was married into. Their dad. I sold or gave it away when we moved, but I took. Because I'm short, I had to have quite a bit of material cut off of it. So I saved that so that when they get married, we can use it for maybe making a bouquet or, you know, something. But they go, why'd you get rid of your dress? Well, it's not like they were gonna wear it. I mean, let somebody else get use out of it.
Tom Griswold
So you've got enough fabric to make a little something.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Like to put. Because that's the tradition, you know, maybe make a little something. I don't know what. Maybe a garter or.
Tom Griswold
I was gonna say. You got any garters?
Bob Kevoian
Love
Tom Griswold
me and pat. Like, I'd like a garter. I like to wear a garter around my head. Like a sweatband. Yeah. Well, game worn, though, right? Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Never been with. Was wearing garters.
Tom Griswold
No, no. I'm. I'm a big fan of the nude. I prefer to make love the nude. Women. Hey, here's more clothes you can put on. No.
Bob Kevoian
So lingerie is not a big thing
Tom Griswold
for you guys notice it.
Bob Kevoian
That's really interesting.
Tom Griswold
It's fun. It's fun for like 20 seconds. But I don't want the frilly umbrella. I want the drink. You know, that's an excellent point. Let me get in there. That is a nice analogy. Wonderful. Let me get in there. Is what he said. I. I know it. I hope you're. That was still with the drink. Let me get in there with the drink. I'm taking my straw and I'm putting it in the drink. That was bad. Too. Horse. Horse. You're not going to get out of it. Hey, Patty G. Did you have a. Did you have a high school class ring? Yes. Did you get one? I did get one.
Bob Kevoian
I have mine. Do you have yours?
Tom Griswold
No. Do you have. But do you still have it? I'll be darned where it is. Oh, I'm sure your parents wanted. There was no pawning in the Griswold hole you're is your high school class ring with your brothers and sisters? No.
Bob Kevoian
You gave it to a girl and she never gave it back. No.
Tom Griswold
Huge plaque at the country club in Boyne Highland. Is that where your ring is?
Bob Kevoian
Where is it?
Tom Griswold
First of all, it's pronounced Boyne Highlands. Whatever.
Bob Kevoian
Did you lose it swimming in lake Michigan?
Tom Griswold
No, I don't. Skinny dipping with some muffy Buffy. If anybody else gets this, let me know. But did you and the Kennedys and that damn. That damn skakel kids trade high school rigs. Is that what's happening? Right, 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.

Release Date: February 27, 2026
Hosts: Tom Griswold, Bob Kevoian, and contributors

The crew dives into quirky listener letters about classic Tom moments, wild tales of roof torches gone wrong, and an amusing exploration of “The Monkees on pot.” Mixed in are personal anecdotes about family, nostalgia for high school class rings, and satirical musical takes on current events (like the infamous Epstein list). The tone is fast, funny, and irreverent, with a lot of insightful—and occasionally touching—off-the-cuff commentary.
