Here's more Bob and Tom extra at the sound of Tom sneezing. We'll be back. Oh, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. That was a good one. There's Kelly Colette at the news desk. Hello, Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. There's Jess Hooker. Hi, Josh Arnold. Ace cosby. I'm chick mcgee. Hello, tom. Hello, chick mcgee. As you pointed out, Ms. Kelly colette, comedian, is at the Silac Insurance news desk and we've asked her to read a little bit about Mr. Bob Ross, the famous painter. Bob, perhaps most identified by his perm. Yeah, he had the kind of a fro. The white. No, he was some sort of marine drill instructor or something. Yeah, he was a. That's why he talked like that. Military guy, I think. I think in Alaska. He was tired of yelling and screaming, I guess. So he always talked like this. And that show was huge. But we got. He's in the news today.
Bob
Yeah. So we got. 30 paintings created by Bob Ross will go up for auction to support public TV stations suffering from federal funding cuts. Despite producing thousands of paintings during his lifetime, original works by Bob Ross are rarely found on the open market. Ross created more than 30,000 pieces, including three versions for each episode of his PBS series the Joy of Painting. However, a vast majority of these paintings are not available for purchase. Most remain in the position of Bob Ross, Inc. The company Ross co founded to manage his teachings and media efforts. Joan Kowalski, president of Bob Ross Inc. Said this auction ensures his legacy continues to support the very medium that brought his joy and creativity into American homes for decades. All profits are pledged to stations that are. That use content from distributor American Public Television.
Tom
It's amazing how difficult it is to buy one of these. Yeah. There. You'd think there'd be.
Bob
They're everywhere.
Tom
Yeah, they're not. I went down the Bob Ross hole a few weeks ago and stuff. You and Bob Ross? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're really hard to find.
Bob
I think that's a really cool thing to do. Yeah, I love that.
Tom
But what about the. The paintings of kids with the big eyes in the alleyway? You have any of those? My grandparents did.
Bob
They did.
Tom
What is that, the Big Guy thing? That's a whole. Yeah, that's a whole.
Bob
That was a movie, right?
Tom
Documentary. Yeah. And there was an actual semi fictionalized movie about it that wasn't very good. But.
Bob
But it was actually.
Tom
It was actually. The wife was painting them all this is.
Bob
Yeah, that's why Big. Oh. Oh, I heard about that. He, like, stole all her stuff. Yeah.
Tom
That's a different. Different story. Yeah. No, Bob was the painter and he filmed all those shows in Muncie, Indiana.
Bob
Oh, no way.
Tom
And. And they. Yeah, that was the home of the show. Very simple, black set.
Bob
I had no idea. I went to college there. I never knew that.
Tom
Right down the street from Dill Street, I bet. Yeah. There you go. But they're very hard to find because I would just assume they'd be everywhere because he'd made so many of them and.
Bob
Yeah, but I guess not his original ones. I guess he painted versions for each series and those weren't.
Tom
No, no, he would. He would paint three originals for each. Each. Each show and. But I'll be very interested what they go for. Some of them are going for tens of thousands of dollars on the open market.
Bob
Would you buy one?
Tom
It's not my cup of tea.
Bob
Not an art collector.
Tom
No. And that isn't my.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
What do you like, Monet? Like a water lily. What do you. What do you. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah, what do you. I'm more of into illustration.
Bob
No, I've got posters of Frank Zappa.
Tom
I've got. There you go. There you go. I got three words for you tomorrow. Dogs playing poker.
Bob
Oh.
Tom
Do you know that I. I always thought that was sort of like a MAD magazine guy. Oh, no. That thing is more than 100 years old. And there are, I want to say, like, 50 different versions. There's a lot more versions than you think. There are. I love them. And they're quite valuable. Yeah. My dad loved them. They look like dogs playing poker. Yeah. Pretty good art. Yeah. And then. Wait a minute. How does it make you feel that one dog's cheating? He's got an ace on his shirt. Yeah. And the bulldog has a cigar, if I remember. I love that. Yeah, It'll be. So. I'll be fascinated to see what these things go for. Fascinated. Boy, I. Bob Ross was always very relaxing to listen to when I was sick from grade school or whatever.
Bob
Yeah, it was Bob Ross. The. What's the other. The talk shows that you would watch when you were sick at home.
Tom
Yeah. You'd see Donahue.
Bob
Yeah, I watched different stuff. I guess I was, like, watching DNA tests when I was eight years old. At. Homesick.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Bob
See who the father is.
Tom
Yeah.
Bob
A lot of Jerry Springer was on my TV as a child.
Tom
Yeah. Well, yeah. Bob was just, as you say, very calming. Sure. And I think A lot of people watch the show and never picked up a paintbrush. But it's an. It's an industry now. That company grosses millions of dollars every year selling the paint kits.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
And the books and.
Bob
But no one has replaced him. No one has come into that and done another show like that.
Tom
Yeah. That is kind of surprising. Maybe. I, you know, I imagine YouTube is littered with that kind of thing. I think there are Bob Ross wigs out there.
Bob
You could get a. Oh, that's a big Halloween costume.
Tom
Yeah, I had one in my office. Yeah, he was Bob Ross. It was a licensed Bob Ross Halloween costume. I would like to see that. I don't know if I still have it. I don't know. Yeah, but it was licensed by the. By Bob Ross.
Bob
I liked him in Julia Child because they always made mistakes on air and just said, I'm human. Which I liked. Which I liked.
Tom
I. I understand, though, those two were quite the item. Tawdry affair. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob
Actually the same hairstylist too.
Tom
Actually, there is a semi depressing. She's the male documentary. Right. Bob Ross. She pegged.
Bob
There is. Yes.
Tom
Yeah, yeah. No, let's. Let's move forward. They talk about the Peggy. You want to hear a tribute to Bob Ross? You got a tribute to Bob. Yeah. Baa ba ba ba ba Ross takes his brush. Bob Ross. He paints clouds and trees Dead but still on tv Bob Ross, Bob, Bob, Bob Ross Turned on the tube. All I do is stare at the hotel art and the crazy hair. Bob Ross. I just stumbled across. You got me smoking in a rolling doobies all night long. Bob Ross. That's great. Yeah. Very good, Very good. They're still showing the shows, right? I think Netflix picked them up for a while. They were. They had. You could watch a bunch of them on there. But I would hope PBS stations would still show it. Why not? What else are you going to do at 2:00pm? Good point. Well, thank you very much. Let's go back to the SILAC Insurance news desk. Once again, Kelly Collette sitting in over there for Christy Lee, who's in England somewhere. What else have you got in your stack of news?
Bob
Let's see. Man locks penis with two rings over fear of genital theft.
Tom
He was afraid somebody was gonna steal his junk.
Bob
Steal his junk. A man in Thailand needed to be treated at a hospital after locking his penis with two rings. The man went to Satook Hospital after his member had gotten stuck in plastic and steel rings. A grinding machine was used to carefully cut through the rings to avoid injuring the Man's genitals, which were said to be swollen and the size of a.
Tom
Fist.
Bob
A man reported. The man reportedly told rescuers that he was afraid that someone would try to steal his penis. Because I get that. Of its unusually large size. Josh. Doctors suspected the patient might be suffering from a mental health condition or under the influence of intoxicating substances. So we went from whole. Wholesome news to that.
Tom
You get that all the time, don't you? Because the immense size people. No, not so much that it's more of the profound beauty. Is that right?
Bob
A pretty penis?
Tom
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really. Well, it's real very aesthetically. So we got a. I guess it would be a. A sea lock, I guess. Yeah, yeah. The guy's obviously got some mental. Mental problems here, obviously. But the size of a fist.
Bob
That's what it said. Swollen. I don't. They didn't say what size of fist, though. It could have been a.
Tom
You know, just the classic analogies. The baby holding apple. Yeah, yeah. Baby arm holding. They probably have to pour cold water on the grinding device. Right? Kind of a wet saw type thing. Yeah, yeah.
Bob
So it doesn't get too hot.
Tom
The heat. It must.
Bob
Those rings.
Tom
And you gotta make sure that you don't. You don't cut into his flesh.
Bob
Well, I think they probably sedated him. I mean, but if you're. If you were gonna steal it, couldn't you just work around the rings like. Couldn't you?
Tom
Yeah, the guy. Yeah, the guy's an idiot.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
Let's face it.
Bob
I don't know how that would be. Anti lock. Anti theft device.
Tom
No, it's not. There's no club for the wiener. Well, no, the club. Yes, there is. The Ramrod Lounge. There's a number of. There are clubs celebrating members only.
Bob
Cheetahs.
Tom
You have a members only jacket, Tom? I bet you did. Members only. We had them. Yeah, we had them for the radio station. We had logo jackets there for a while. They were. Do you still have yours, Ace? I do. Do you really? Oh, okay.
Bob
Is that what it was named for? The male member?
Tom
No.
Bob
No. Penis only jacket.
Tom
No, no, there was a. There was. I don't know if they're still. Are they still out there? Did women wear them?
Bob
They weren't allowed. They were members.
Tom
They had a little logo.
Bob
Yeah, I know what it is.
Tom
Yeah. I used to go to the. The style store for big and tall. They had. They had the jacket for men with big. Members only. Oh, he loves this joke. He really got a kick out of that. Really enjoying it. Well, what was it again, Tom? The Style Store. There was the Style Store. Yeah. Big and tall right there. Sure, sure. Yeah, I know it. Big members only. Big members only. They merged. Yeah, they had the Style Store. Big members. You know, those guys had to. You probably had never went in there. But I never went in there. But my pictures. The guys had to lock down their. Their big member because people were trying to steal it. Yeah, with the club. I'm so sorry. Well, do you have anything more wholesome over there?
Bob
For God's.
Tom
For God's sake.
Bob
This one made me want to cry. Seniors given robot dogs and cats to help with loneliness.
Tom
Isn't that robots?
Bob
A home for the aging in the UK is using robot dogs and cats to help seniors struggling with loneliness. The fur covered robots have sensors that enable them to interact with residents. At Stoneham Grove Care Home. They're near.
Tom
Meow.
Bob
They also are able to bark, purr and sit and they can even roll over for scratches. A 96 year old resident, Barbara Hanson told SWNS get these things away, they're killing. I understand that they are not real, but I really enjoy the way they act like real pets. It helps reduce my anxiety and makes me feel calm.
Tom
This makes much more sense than doing something about the pet cats and dogs roaming the streets. No kidding. Can you make them look like my children? This one won't go to the bathroom. I think that's so depressing. This one doesn't like peanut butter.
Bob
Oh, I thought it was wholesome.
Tom
I mean, are they counting and they.
Bob
Don'T have to care for them. Yeah, and they don't have to worry about allergies or things like that. Or clean out litter boxes.
Tom
Yeah, insulting about it to me. Yeah, they'll never. Pandering. They'll never know the difference. Yeah, no, just give them a robot to play.
Bob
You never had like a furby or one of those old toys?
Tom
No, I had pound. I had a pound puppy, but that didn't move or anything. Okay, well, you held that while you were pounding, right? It was awful. Yeah, I. This. I don't know.
Bob
They do this with. They give elderly folks in memory care babies to care for too. Baby dolls that look real.
Tom
Oh, shoot.
Bob
Oh, like the scene on High School Test.
Tom
Yeah, like real babies do. They under. Is this because they're somewhat demented and don't understand it's not a real.
Bob
Yeah, no. It exercises their brain to care for something and it keeps them occupied.
Tom
Yeah, real pets. And maybe not each person gets their own pet. But.
Bob
But they could Have a dog that wanders around and.
Tom
Yeah. Although apparently the nursing home cat. Not a good idea.
Bob
No, because.
Tom
And predict death. Right.
Bob
Curl up on the lap of grandma.
Tom
Hang over.
Bob
If men are getting robot girlfriends, I feel like we should allow the people to have robot pets.
Tom
Oh, yeah. I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed.
Bob
But you think it's weird.
Tom
Well, give them a real pet.
Bob
Get a real girlfriend. Why does anybody use robots for anything?
Tom
I'm not pro robot girlfriend.
Bob
Sorry.
Tom
Why are you looking at Josh? Just have the vibe. The one Josh has is more air filled. Really? I give off robot girlfriend energy.
Bob
It feels like you would be supportive.
Tom
You would be like, I am pro. Look, there are guys out there who are insanely lonely. They have no idea how to act. Why are you looking at me? And if that keeps them safe. Okay. Yes. Yeah.
Bob
I thought that was a wholesome story. Apparently that was really sad.
Tom
No, no, we just do that. We take anything wholesome.
Bob
They're going to tear it apart no matter what what it is.
Tom
And I didn't realize that. I never thought of dementia as being demented. I know. That is funny. Demented sounds evil. And dementia is. That's where it comes from. My question was, though, is the woman that has. She says she knows it's a robot.
Bob
Yes.
Tom
I'm just wondering if some of the people are just kind of.
Bob
In the beginning.
Tom
They're going. They're going down that road. I'm not trying to be mean here.
Bob
No, it's true.
Tom
Do they understand that this is a. Or they think it's a real dog or does it help them? Yeah, if it helps them. Hey, whatever. Yeah. My gosh. You know, by the way, you have to take the USB cord out of your cat's ass. And then what if they get a real cat? You have a real cat. All right, don't put that one too close to the mic. Over. Every time I turn my computer on, my cat craps on the floor. What's going on here? That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra.

The episode is classic Bob & Tom: fast-paced, witty, irreverent, and occasionally heartfelt. Banter between comedians and cast members flows naturally, with Tom’s skeptical, dry humor grounding more outrageous stories or tangents. Even wholesome stories become fodder for jokes, but there’s genuine curiosity when discussing topics like Bob Ross’s legacy or the emotional lives of seniors.
For fans of comedy with a dash of oddball news and cultural nostalgia, this episode delivers laughs and genuine surprises—whether it’s the rarity of Bob Ross’s paintings, an ingenious musical parody, or robots comforting the lonely. Between tongue-in-cheek gags and sincere reflections, "The BOB & TOM Show" continues to mine daily life and oddball headlines for both humor and human insight.
