Jeff Oskay
Some Martin. I ain't never played one of these. He tried to paddle to San Diego and a wave took him out to sea and he washed up on the beach at Waikiki. He's the only illegal Mexican in Honolulu. He's only 20 minutes and found him a roofing job to do. Yeah, they don't know if they going to run him off or if they're going to let him stay, but it's looking good cause they're already calling him Don Jose.
Christopher
Yeah, that's about as far as nice jazz chords there. Wow. We know what you need. Here's another healthy dose of Bob and Tom Extra.
Tom
Got a special letter here, a little bit of an alert.
Christopher
All right.
Tom
I had not heard of the bug salt gun, the Bug Assault they call it, which is a sort of a toy gun that shoots salt and apparently very handy for going out in the porch and picking off flies. And But I've received two interesting things. First of all, Tom, you'll want to know this writes Ryan from Boonville, Missouri. There is a laser beam site available for the bug salt gun. It's an adjustable laser for the fly gun salt shooter. Now they also have someone is also Greg in Kalamazoo has sent me a photograph of the Bug Assault 250th Anniversary Liberty Edition. It's a red, white and blue sort of large pistol. Once again, these shoot table salt. And he goes, you might want to wait because I said I wanted to get one this week and you might want to wait for the anniversary edition. Apparently it's just coming out, so we'll have to get one in here and give it a shot out on the porch. But it looks like a lot of fun.
Christopher
Do fishermen use these? Is that where you were familiar with it, John. I saw it at a Bass Pro. Oh, okay.
Jeff Oskay
But I. Yeah.
Christopher
You've never used.
Jeff Oskay
I've never used one.
Christopher
Okay. All right.
Tom
We have a lot of fans out there.
Christopher
Seems like a natural.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah.
Tom
I don't know how I went through life without hearing about this.
Megan Klingerberg
I have a letter.
Tom
Okay.
Megan Klingerberg
This will be of interest to you, Tom. This is from Richard in Lexington, Kentucky. The former Dixie cup plant there has their water tower in the shape of a big Dixie Cup. Oh. So it's.
Christopher
I think that's worth the drive. Well, to check it out.
Megan Klingerberg
The Dixie cup water tower. I don't know if you can see this. It's the. There you go. Jason has it.
Christopher
There it is.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah.
Tom
That sure does look like a Dixie Cup.
Christopher
What do you mean? It's an identity.
Jeff Oskay
Like, it's way more real looking than I would have thought.
Christopher
Absolutely. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
It's.
Tom
It's wider at the top than at the bottom.
Christopher
Hunt would please you. That looks exactly like I. Dixie said. That's what I said.
Tom
We were talking about Dixie cups and the. The built into the wall. Dixie cup holder and the sleeve. That's something.
Christopher
That's a problem. It's just a cup. It's not that.
Jeff Oskay
That part that Tom really wants to.
Christopher
Oh, no, no.
Tom
That's right. No, no, no.
Christopher
But every time we talk about Dixie Cups, he doesn't think anyone knows what it is, so he has to go through. Now. It's a container that. A sleeve on the wall.
Tom
The factory closed, huh?
Megan Klingerberg
Well, I think they got moved to a different place.
Tom
Okay.
Christopher
Okay. I didn't hear the factory clothes part. I just thought the water tower part.
Megan Klingerberg
The water tower. You can't, because the.
Christopher
Is this some kind of damn NAFTA thing we're in the middle of now? Is that what happened? Good Lord. What have we done now?
Tom
Well, let's just push forward here. What have you got going on in the sporting scene?
Christopher
The TSA is reminding World cup fans about their restrictions on taking ranch dressing onto planes.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, they're trying to take it home now.
Christopher
What do we know about these situations? There must be a problem. Too many people trying to get ranch dressing out of the country. The TSA says in a posting, if you're visiting for a very large sporting event and you happen to discover for the first time in your life, ranch dressing, please pack it in your checked bag on the way home. And, oh, by the way, the TSA added, if you're traveling within the United States, make sure to keep your carry on sauces to 3.4 ounces or less. And place any large containers of ranch dressing in your checked bags. And finally, the TSA had this warning. Please avoid chugging ranch dressing outside security. Well, I'm not throwing it away. The airline.
Jeff Oskay
That's what they're saying.
Christopher
That's right. Wow, this stuff is too good. I ain't throwing it away, ladies.
Tom
So you can, you can always smuggle it in your hidden valley, if you consider that.
Christopher
Gals, have you thought about that?
Tom
This just in. This is an Instagram from Kraft, not Hidden Valley. They are introducing Kraft TSA compliant Ranch, a travel friendly way to bring the taste of America home. And it looks like a little suitcase with little tiny TSA approved sized things of ranch dressing.
Megan Klingerberg
Somebody was on that quickly, weren't they?
Tom
Yeah, it's. But it. Now this, this says coming soon.
Megan Klingerberg
Oh, okay.
Tom
Great for tourists. And then it says home of the free and brave and ranch dressing. So look for a TSA compliant ranch dressing kit. Coming soon. So I gather ranch is not a thing over in Europe.
Christopher
It must not be.
Tom
And it doesn't have to be refrigerated, obviously, until you open it. Is that how it works?
Christopher
If you have one of those packets. Yeah. Mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, ranch dressing in a little packet. Right.
Tom
Is that the one? Oh, no.
Jeff Oskay
Even a ranch bottle?
Tom
Yeah, that'll be.
Christopher
Yeah, you can leave it out on the counter.
Jeff Oskay
That's typically how they're sold. No, just their shelf.
Christopher
But they're sealed though. Yeah, yeah.
Tom
Once they're open, they get to refrigerate.
Megan Klingerberg
Right.
Christopher
Once you get it home and open, you got to leave it on. Now leave it.
Tom
If you buy the ranch in the powder packets.
Christopher
Yes. You mix it yourself.
Tom
What do you have to add?
Christopher
We have to have gooey stuff. Hey, Christine. Have to have. Add mayonnaise.
Megan Klingerberg
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Tom
Well, it's nice that ranch is. Ranch is getting its day in the sun, if you will. But as are they.
Megan Klingerberg
You could take the ranch dressing. Comes in those little cup things like guacamole does, like individual servings.
Christopher
Oh, ramekin.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah. You could take those on a plane.
Tom
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. But obviously that. I think that the TSA is having some fun with this, particularly when they ended it with. Don't chug it outside security.
Christopher
But have you ever TSA has fun with anything? Have you ever been on a plane and somebody has opened up a specially aromatic dinner?
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Christopher
Like the chicken teriyaki from Subway, which is.
Jeff Oskay
That's like, that's, that's on a lot of planes.
Christopher
Yeah, that seems to be in a lot of planes. Yeah. And it just fills the cabin.
Jeff Oskay
It does.
Tom
But the ranch dressing is okay. It's not like you're transporting C4. It's just the size, the quantity.
Christopher
You can't.
Jeff Oskay
Right.
Tom
You can't have more than a much shampoos.
Christopher
And your ranch dressing, though, explodes with flavor.
Jeff Oskay
It certainly does.
Tom
There you go. They're not going to have ranch dressing
Christopher
sniffing dogs that they've trained before they invented ranch dressing. And you and I were both kids when ranch dressing started. Did you. Were you a Thousand island guy?
Tom
Oh, no, I was always in it. I was always a wishbone Italian.
Christopher
No kidding. Oil and vinegar from more or less
Tom
Wishbone Italian makes a nice, nice marinade. Oh.
Christopher
Oh, no, they do.
Tom
Said the M word in front of you.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, I was daydreaming.
Tom
Don't worry about it. Okay. We were talking about school days and the fact that.
Jeff Oskay
Not the Spike Lee joint.
Tom
I was.
Christopher
You know what? Speaking of this, should I read my list again of people I'm looking for for the 50th anniversary of my high school reunion?
Tom
Oh, no.
Megan Klingerberg
Did you find anybody?
Christopher
Not yet, but I really haven't looked. That's the thing.
Megan Klingerberg
Are you looking for good or for bad?
Christopher
For good. We just haven't seen one guy who
Jeff Oskay
was right in town.
Christopher
Well, yeah, evidently they're looking for one guy.
Tom
And he's famous.
Christopher
He's an. He's a optometrist mogul. He's got a. A chain of.
Jeff Oskay
He owns that in plain sight.
Tom
Literally.
Christopher
Anyway, I thought it would be funny. I got this email. You ever do something, say yes to something when you're in a great mood and then that passes and you think,
Jeff Oskay
why did I say that's 80 of my life?
Megan Klingerberg
Exactly.
Tom
There's a. That's a category everybody can fill job.
Christopher
So I got an email from Carol and she says, can you help us? Would anybody be willing to help Looking for our. Do her voice.
Tom
So you got members of your class in high school are missing.
Christopher
I got put in charge of Charles Baseman and John Khan.
Megan Klingerberg
You just have to find those two.
Christopher
Those two? That's all I'm in charge of. But they're Janet and Mary and Dave and Terry and Vicki and Mike also have to come up with these other two people.
Tom
Well, did you find the two you're supposed to find?
Christopher
No, but we're gonna find them. But in my defense, I have not looked.
Megan Klingerberg
Okay?
Christopher
So it's amazing how little can be
Jeff Oskay
done when you apply. No Effort.
Tom
The way to make it fun. The way to make it fun is you go backwards. You start assuming they're dead. Oh, so start with obituaries.
Christopher
I did.
Megan Klingerberg
Look, in obituaries, she announced that one
Christopher
guy was dead who wasn't Charles Baseman.
Jeff Oskay
Tom, can we up the.
Megan Klingerberg
But it was Tom that I was like.
Tom
Up the.
Megan Klingerberg
Andy, go ahead.
Jeff Oskay
Don't just assume they're dead. Assume they were murdered.
Megan Klingerberg
Oh, there.
Christopher
Yes. And we had to bring in an urban helper to their family.
Tom
Or you could just. You could lie, say that they're currently incarcerated. Yes, they could be.
Christopher
That's what I was thinking.
Tom
They could go to jail.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah.
Christopher
And Janet Newhart, I like her. She was. She had a very. Is there a say about the show? Am I telling a story? Yes. He was talking. I. I've got headphones. I hear my voice.
Tom
You're about to slander someone.
Jeff Oskay
What did Janet Newhart say?
Christopher
She's nice. She's. She works in healthcare, and some of her patients really love our show. And we really know. She said. I never understood it until. That's what she told me. And I was very nice.
Jeff Oskay
That's nice.
Tom
You're not going to put a tag on this, then somehow.
Megan Klingerberg
No.
Christopher
No, I'm not. Okay. Anyway. No, I'm looking for Charles Baseman and John Khan.
Tom
They're in Ohio somewhere. In theory.
Christopher
Bs. M. A M. Like first baseman.
Megan Klingerberg
That's helpful.
Tom
As. As a civilian. Is there a place I can access a list of everyone who is currently incarcerated in this country?
Jeff Oskay
Oh, wow. I don't know.
Christopher
Well, so much for my fun little.
Megan Klingerberg
I bet there's a dating app.
Jeff Oskay
This is Mr. Slander over here, and he's suggesting the people you're looking for are in jail.
Tom
No, they'd be funny.
Christopher
Janet's looking for Rocky Garrett and Sherry Johnson.
Tom
Here's the thing. Let's just say. Let's just say Garrett. Let's just say Osgood Crumbfuffle. The guy you're looking for.
Christopher
Ozzy.
Tom
Let's just say he's incarcerated. What you would. Do you have pj, Our art director, get a picture of this guy from high school and then put him in one of those red and white striped prison suits. Have a big picture of him as they walk into the reunion.
Jeff Oskay
He's not in a candy cane factory originally.
Christopher
I don't know why he said that. He thinks prisons are like in Paddington. Yeah.
Tom
Aren't they doing the pink?
Christopher
And that's the biggest.
Jeff Oskay
Paddington messed up in the laundry.
Christopher
Oh, it's worse than that. That's the big joke in that Paddington movie that someone put a red sock.
Tom
That's a great movie. Don't you knock that? Isn't there some sheriff in Arizona?
Megan Klingerberg
In Arizona, for a short time.
Tom
Everybody in the strip.
Christopher
Toy Story 5.
Jeff Oskay
Paddington eats Woody and chokes the death.
Christopher

Christopher
Yes.
Tom
Yeah, yeah.
Christopher
Becky McBroom. I don't know, but she could be a cartoon witch.
Megan Klingerberg
All of these people could contact you through the show and that's exactly right.
Tom
I thought you only had to find two.
Christopher
I do.
Tom
Who are the two on your list?
Christopher
Charles Baseman. John Khan. But I thought I'd help. John Khan.
Megan Klingerberg
Khan. How's that spelled?
Christopher

Megan Klingerberg
Okay.
Christopher

Megan Klingerberg
Yeah, that's definitely true.
Christopher

I think Chuck's Deluxe is kind of a cool name.
Christopher
Melvin Cordell. Mike Fry. James Miner. Frank Penwell.

Christopher
No.
Jeff Oskay
Hey, Aston answered.
Tom
And what you do.
Christopher
Sometimes it's not. Sometimes the answer is no.
Tom
What you do is. What you do is you load them with LSD and you dose the whole
Megan Klingerberg
place wrong with you.
Christopher
Then you go to jail.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah.
Tom
Hey, it's kind of a throwback.
Christopher
And then I'll. I'll find these all my classmates, and
Tom
you're going to find whatever his name was, Osgood Fingleberry, in prison with you.
Megan Klingerberg
But of that list, do you know
Christopher
who you would think would be incarcerated?
Megan Klingerberg
Don't say anything.
Christopher
Yeah, yeah, that guy's in jail.
Jeff Oskay
Is it being held at the school?
Christopher
No, the London Country Club.
Tom
Oh, nice.
Christopher
Where actually. Oh, my God, I can't remember. I can't believe I didn't remember this till now. Bob Zany and I did a show at the London Country Club where I received a certificate of. From Ohio for something. Yeah.
Tom
So it's not restricted.
Christopher
No, no, it's. It's wide open.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Christopher
Never mind. I don't think that's right at all.
Tom
We are going to be visited via satellite with news we failed to mention.
Christopher
There we go. What they do.
Megan Klingerberg
I like those glasses.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, thanks, Amazon. $3.
Christopher
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. Hey, I'm Jeff Oskay. I'm here at the failed Dimension news desk. We give you a lot of the news each week. We don't give you all the news. So I'm here to give you the news that we have failed to mention.
Christopher
Here's Jeff Oskay.
Tom
What happened to the rest of it?
Jeff Oskay
That was enough. We learned that most people would not be happy if a friend of theirs was to date one of their exes. Well, you failed to mention the way I feel. Hey, man, if you're a glutton for punishment, have at her.
Christopher
Attaboy.
Jeff Oskay
A woman was rescued after being stuck for three days, buried up to her head in quick mud. Well, you failed to mention. I know a lot of women who would pay big money to have three days to themselves in a mud bath. She probably dropped, like 10 pounds because she couldn't eat. They could probably sell that for $1,000 a week.
Megan Klingerberg
Not wrong.
Jeff Oskay
Laxatives may improve your memory. What you Failed to mention. They will help you remember to change your underwear. A vacant home was overrun with snakes. What you failed to mention. Well, you got two choices. You can get rid of the snakes, then you gotta go back to having the rat and mice infestation, or you can live with the snakes. Which one? Your choice
Christopher
is Harvey Fierstein, a realtor now.
Megan Klingerberg
Yeah.
Christopher
All right.
Jeff Oskay
Scientists have concluded that self pleasure before bed equals a better night's sleep. Well, you failed to mention. Before you try it, just remember that wife laying next to you may not appreciate your little science experiment.
Christopher
We had another earthquake last night. I don't know what happened.
Jeff Oskay
And finally, some lady set up a kissing booth for. For her golden retriever. Well, you failed to mention. Not to sound old fashioned, but what happened to the actual kissing booths where you kiss chicks at the fair? I can't believe those were actually a thing. That some dad was cool with his teen daughter going down and kissing random men for a nickel. I mean, they don't even make strippers kiss the dude. And you never see the girl like two weeks later. See her face, her lips are just riddled with herpe cold sores. She's got pink eyes. But hey, yeah, there's a golden retriever kissing booth. That's adorable. I'm Jeff Oskin and this has been the news that we failed to mention.
Megan Klingerberg

Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
This episode of The Bob & Tom Show Extra takes listeners on a lively romp through oddball Americana, food quirks, and a dose of the surreal as the hosts riff on the wonders of the bug salt gun (known as Bug ASALT), roadside attractions like the Dixie Cup water tower, and the very American obsession with ranch dressing—even when flying internationally. The show quickly spirals into hilarious banter about class reunions, personal nicknames, incarceration, and ends with Jeff Oskay’s signature "news we failed to mention" segment.
The tone is irreverent, playful, and heavily driven by riffing banter and running gags among the cast. The show is conversational, with plenty of good-natured teasing, wordplay, and a focus on the absurdities of everyday American culture. The humor ranges from clever one-liners to longer, escalating tangents.
This summary walks you through the episode’s bizarre American gadgets, food obsessions, and group nostalgia, while giving you a taste of the hosts’ unique chemistry and running jokes. You’ll feel right at home with their blend of lightheartedness, nostalgia, gentle mockery, and offbeat news—no listening required.
