Chad Zumock
A great way to get your morning started.
Bob Kevoian
This is Bob and Tom Extra.
Chad Zumock
We're going to check in with the sporting scene. We were talking about the Dallas Cowboys and now.
Kristi Lee
That's right.
Chad Zumock
What was the Jerry Jones comment with respect to the bunghole?
Tom Griswold
That's some sort of term they use in wildcat. You're looking for oil, you need that bung hole. He was talking about. Actually the Cowboys and some of the signings they'd made and sometimes they come up dry. Had bungholes.
Kristi Lee
Dry.
Chad Zumock
Oh, now I remember the reference. Yeah. By the way, we have a new mix. I won't play the whole thing, but just. Just in case you missed it, here's just a little bit. Little taste of the original Pinkerton Bowden live version of this tune in our show.
Tom Griswold
Really? Holy hell.
Josh Arnold
She's got tattoos around her bum.
Chad Zumock
Yeah, There we go. There we go.
Tom Griswold
That's it. What is with him in that guitar sound?
Chad Zumock
I. I don't know.
Tom Griswold
He really likes that sound. Yeah. Yeah. But who. Who can argue with him?
Chad Zumock
Yeah. Okay. It's very nice. What. What's going on in the world?
Tom Griswold
Actually, this. This letter. Dear Bob and Tom show. You guys remember the Chuck E. Cheese mascot?
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Journal Jones. He was arrested at a restaurant in Tallahassee on July 23 for credit card theft and fraud. You remember he was in the mascot uniform. He was in the Chuck E. Cheese uniform.
Chad Zumock
There's a video of it, right?
Tom Griswold
There's a. Well, there's not just any video of it. They've released the body cam video of. And here it is. Now there he is being. There's doing the purple. The kids had to be everything you thought it would be. They're walking him out. He's got the mouse head on. They didn't give him a chance to take the head off. It just unbelievable.
Chad Zumock
The old.
Tom Griswold
And they take him out. Watch your. Then they took his head off to get him into the cruiser.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Oh, and he was in possession of a stolen credit card.
Tom Griswold
Yes. But we were. We were all thinking of the children.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Of course. You feel like they could have taken him out they could have done something else.
Chad Zumock
Yeah. Wouldn't there have been a way to discreetly go? Were they afraid he was going to run?
Josh Arnold
I don't know. But you think they could coordinate with the manager in some way and go, hey, the next time he goes into the break room, we're going to be.
Kristi Lee
In there or make it funny?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. He stole a piece of pizza.
Kristi Lee
Kids, we're just gotta go talk to him about that.
Chad Zumock
Even then, I think that's still a little rough.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, well, sure, but at least it's something. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Did you see over the weekend, the Oregon duck fell over and he lost his head as he fell over and he ran back into the tunnel. Yeah, it's nice. No, you don't see it.
Kristi Lee
Did they fire him?
Tom Griswold
But he did the right thing. No, they did the right thing. He immediately ran for cover. If you lose your head, you're not supposed to be seen. If you're.
Chad Zumock
Oh, did you know that mascot gear to be Purdue Pete you have. There he goes, Large head. Okay.
Josh Arnold
We just watched the video of the person running and.
Chad Zumock
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I mean, it's. He really has to hustle back.
Chad Zumock
He does the right thing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he does it.
Chad Zumock
What, does somebody trip him?
Josh Arnold
No, he's like, attached to, like a big spring at one point.
Chad Zumock
I think it's.
Tom Griswold
I think it was part of the bid.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chad Zumock
The giant feet, I think, are a problem.
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Kristi Lee
Right. In those.
Tom Griswold
You think they would. When they design the suit, you. They can design anything they want. And I mean, they make feet more conducive to running.
Josh Arnold
Well, when I was Foghorn Leghorn, I'm surprised this doesn't have. I had a chin strap so that the helmet really couldn't.
Tom Griswold
No kidding.
Josh Arnold
That was affixed to the. The head. I'm surprised all mascots don't have that.
Chad Zumock
And now, when. And when you were Foghorn Leghorn to learn the dance moves, do they put you in front of a mirror so you can see what you're doing?
Josh Arnold
No, no, no. When you learn dance moves, you can just.
Chad Zumock
You just dance feel.
Kristi Lee
Do you have big feet? You had big feet, right?
Josh Arnold
For the. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And. But they. Yeah. And I couldn't wear shoes in them. Yeah. So they were just like giant slippers, essentially. Okay.
Kristi Lee
Were they hard to walk in?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. You learned to really step high. Yeah. And then the funny thing was, after like a day of working, you kind of still step.
Tom Griswold
Oh. Because you're used to the giant cock feet.
Josh Arnold
Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Because of course.
Chad Zumock
No, don't he's baiting.
Josh Arnold
You don't like horn? Was a rooster.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Rooster. Giant cock. Yeah.
Chad Zumock
Very good, very good. But you're so what you're saying is it's that thing where you go down a pair of poorly built stairs where you get. You get that kind of rhythm of the steps and then you get down to the last one and it's too short.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chad Zumock
Do you have any photographs of you Asphalt?
Josh Arnold
Yes, somewhere. And I know there's. I think there's still video of a show out there.
Chad Zumock
That's my C material.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I'll have to see.
Tom Griswold
Hey, did you know South Carolina? You know what their mascot is? South Carolina are the Gamecocks. The Gamecocks, that's right. And they have a mascot who's a Gamecock.
Chad Zumock
And that's a type of a Aviary.
Tom Griswold
I'm guessing. I don't aviary.
Josh Arnold
Probably one for hunting if it's game.
Tom Griswold
But on his jersey it says cocky.
Josh Arnold
Cocky the game, cocky the game.
Chad Zumock
Makes sense.
Tom Griswold
That is his. That is his name and nobody says anything about it. It's kind of like reminded me of Octopussy. They just let it go.
Josh Arnold
Well, one can be cocky.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, it's still borderline naughty, is it not? What about the children?
Chad Zumock
No, not at all. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show, as you talked about yesterday. Yes, I too, Tom, on my drive home, I passed the giant glass building where if you look over, you can see yourself driving your car on the highway.
Chad Zumock
Huh.
Tom Griswold
And I've added that if you can also see yourself waving at yourself, it's going to be a great day. If you're doing in the morning, obviously.
Josh Arnold
You know when it's a bad day is when you wave at your reflection and it doesn't wave.
Tom Griswold
Nothing there.
Josh Arnold
There's something wrong.
Chad Zumock
That means you see dead people.
Tom Griswold
And he said, thanks to you, Tom. Today for the first time, I indeed looked over and saw myself. When I saw my car, I quickly thought, oh, that's a cool car. Oh, wait a minute, that's my car. I look back forward just in time to see slowing traffic ahead of me.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Please be careful out there.
Tom Griswold
It was a close one.
Chad Zumock
We were discussing, was it about not numerology, but. Oh, people that are believers in horoscopes and that sort of thing. And you asked me if I did any of that and I. I don't. Except I do. When I drive by that mirrored building, I look to see myself and it's going to be a good day. If you see your reflection.
Kristi Lee
I don't ever look at that building. I don't know what it is.
Chad Zumock
Maybe I don't want to start doing it.
Kristi Lee
Do you think I want to hit somebody?
Tom Griswold
A building like that has to file like a variance because it's. It's somewhat of a distraction.
Kristi Lee
How many birds hit that thing?
Josh Arnold
Probably a lot. Yeah.
Kristi Lee
You know, I would think, you know.
Chad Zumock
The building I'm talking about.
Kristi Lee
I know exactly.
Chad Zumock
Giant mirror.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I can't look into it. Anytime I look in a mirror, I just want to make out with myself. So I've really. I had to remove all the mirrors.
Tom Griswold
You know what? I'd like to speak on behalf of most of the people in this room. I don't blame you.
Josh Arnold
I'm often making out with Amir.
Tom Griswold
You're amazing.
Chad Zumock
Thank you, Josh.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Top show, one more. This is for Josh.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
We all know your take on Chef Boyardee.
Josh Arnold
I enjoy the ravioli very much.
Chad Zumock
Me too.
Tom Griswold
If it wasn't an excellent product, it would not sell so well. I believe you made that point one morning. Josh, I'm waiting for. For you finally to realize all you have to do is fill Mason jars with. With Chef Boyardee product and then triple the price of the local farmers market. There you go.
Josh Arnold
Done and done. Can you.
Chad Zumock
Can you imagine might be a refrigeration issue?
Tom Griswold
That's from Josie.
Josh Arnold
There really isn't. I mean, the cans sit well.
Chad Zumock
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Maybe if you.
Chad Zumock
Once you open them, I don't think you can let them.
Josh Arnold
Well, I'll just call it, you know, botulism flavored ravioli or whatever.
Chad Zumock
You can taste it.
Tom Griswold
So if you eat botulism, does it tighten up your skin?
Chad Zumock
No, I think it kills you.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, you get very even.
Josh Arnold
Smelling it, I think can kill you.
Tom Griswold
Oh, really?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, did you have a letter over there? I thought you.
Chad Zumock
I do. I do.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Chad Zumock
This begins all caps. Time is so right on this one. Now this. We were talking about tipping.
Tom Griswold
Oh, Lord.
Chad Zumock
And I mentioned that I do like to tip. I don't really carry cash anymore, but I. I've started to just like Josh. I mentioned that I particularly enjoy tipping when you have a contest for tips where you have two tip jars.
Kristi Lee
Oh, yeah.
Chad Zumock
Oh, and you'll. You gets kind of like voting. This is from Kristen in Appleton, Wisconsin. I go to two coffee spots, one being a chain. They both have two tip jars asking you to pick your favorite. For example, one said, favorite vacation, the beach or the mountain.
Josh Arnold
Oh, all right. I forget.
Chad Zumock
The most recent one I went to, it was particular rock and roll bands. It could be Beatles versus Stones.
Tom Griswold
Oh, then I noticed the Dave Clark Five and Moby Grape.
Chad Zumock
No, it was the Dave Clark five versus the Beatles.
Kristi Lee
They really had that.
Chad Zumock
Yeah, that's fun. I. I put.
Tom Griswold
If you'd heard of the bands. That's fun.
Kristi Lee
How many people that went in there didn't know who Dave Clark 5 was?
Tom Griswold
Many.
Chad Zumock
That's because they're just not musically literate. The Dave Clark Five had some very nice songs.
Kristi Lee
I feel sorry for the person that picked that band. They didn't get any tips that day.
Tom Griswold
I bet I can go into that coffee shop and pick out. The guy who put. Insisted the Dave Clark Five was made part of that. He's the oldest guy in the building, sweeping up in the back, but he was having fun.
Chad Zumock
But doesn't that make you want to tip a little more because you want to be part of the. You want to be a voter?
Josh Arnold
Sure, yeah.
Chad Zumock
I want to be one of the guys voting.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chad Zumock
What would you put? What would your.
Josh Arnold
Oh, between two things.
Chad Zumock
If you could do two jars, what would you put? Maybe. Maybe two Stephen King movies versus.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's kind of fun.
Kristi Lee
Vampires versus werewolves.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, boy, that's a tough one. The best Stephen King movie.
Josh Arnold
I mean, because you've got the great dramas that are based, you know, Shawshank and.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Green Mile, Misery. I mean, those. Some of those have supernatural elements, but the. Yeah, something. Halloween would be really fun every day.
Chad Zumock
Wouldn't it get you to vote, though, if you walked in. Oh, wait a minute.
Josh Arnold
I gotta.
Chad Zumock
I gotta put in my three bucks here because I want to vote for Shawshank.
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Tom Griswold
I feel Josh is just going to say, you know, why don't I just walk into the place and hand them my wallet and you just take whatever you want and then I'll just hand me my wallet back.
Josh Arnold
I really do enjoy tipping good service. I really do.
Chad Zumock
I think it's fun. It's fun. I just. I prefer being able to do it on the card now.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah, sure. Did the letter writer say that they have a. Oh, she just said that there are two places she goes that have that.
Chad Zumock
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
There's some great coffee places in Appleton.
Chad Zumock
And then she gave me some names for girl dogs.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Chad Zumock
Because one of my children asked me the other day, what's a good name for a girl dog? And I made several suggestions. Then she goes, so we're gonna get one. And I explained we already have two boy dogs.
Josh Arnold
She goes, yeah, yeah, we need a girl.
Chad Zumock
Yeah. Names Jordy, Calista, Sienna, Kit. Gemma, Tulip or Sutton. Those are all good names.
Josh Arnold
Jordy is so cute.
Tom Griswold
No good.
Kristi Lee
Jordy.
Tom Griswold
Sylvia. Sylvia or Evelyn.
Kristi Lee
Evelyn.
Tom Griswold
Call her Evie. That's a cute name for dog.
Chad Zumock
Evie's name.
Kristi Lee
I think of Evelyn. Champagne.
Josh Arnold
How about maybe like May? M A E. Sure.
Tom Griswold
I think of an old. Old lady. May. Yeah, old lady May.
Josh Arnold
May. May was my grandparents neighbor and I would often go over and visit her because she was a widow.
Kristi Lee
Oh, would she show you this person?
Tom Griswold
Would she show you her boobs?
Josh Arnold
You know, she never did, no matter how often I begged.
Chad Zumock
Gravity not kind to them.
Home Depot Announcer
Ancient.
Chad Zumock
Well, on that note.
Tom Griswold
And you were really young.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
The Dave Clark Five.
Chad Zumock
Remember this, Josh?
Josh Arnold
I'm aware of it. Yes.
Chad Zumock
Because if you're gonna vote for the Dave Clark 5, it will make you.
Josh Arnold
I think this is a great song.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's okay.
Chad Zumock
That's fun. Kind of lost in the shuffle. That's why when you go to the coffee shop and they say, vote for the band. Today's the Dave Clark Five day. Why not have some fun?
Tom Griswold
If they could crash the Dave Clark 5 website and they're just scratching their hair going, what the hell's going on? Give it a listen today. Maybe we should go on.
Chad Zumock
I'm not sure how many of the Dave Clark Five are six feet under.
Tom Griswold
I would at least think it's down to the Dave Clark two. Yeah.
Chad Zumock
Or maybe one.
Tom Griswold
Well, Dave Clark was the drummer. Yeah, yeah.
Chad Zumock
But fun band. We'll be moving on here. Coming up. Like I said, we got Al J.
Tom Griswold
Joe T. L J and Joe T.
Josh Arnold
Willie G. And that's not Al Jolson and Patty G. Well, I just don't want the listener to be confused by all the Al Js. It's not Al Jardine.
Chad Zumock
No.
Josh Arnold
And it's not Al Jolson.
Chad Zumock
Al Jardine, of course, of the Beach Boys, whose birthday was just a couple days ago. The Beach Boys are wonderful. Now, would you do Beach Boys vs Beatles? Who would you. Who do you put in the tip jar?
Josh Arnold
Do Beatles versus Alcho?
Tom Griswold
I would. I would absolutely get in the ring with my club. You would? And beat him to a point.
Josh Arnold
I would love to do maybe, but a colossal break.
Tom Griswold
Oh, just. I mean, giant.
Josh Arnold
More and more stuff that comes out with him. Just be quiet, Mike.
Chad Zumock
Just enjoy the tunes.

(Episode presented by Christopher)
This edition of Bob and Tom Extra delivers the trademark blend of absurdist comedy, listener mail, light news, and off-the-cuff anecdotes the show is known for. The crew riffs on the infamous "bunghole" comment in sports, a criminal Chuck E. Cheese mascot, the distracting powers of a mirrored building, and digresses hilariously into topics from mascot mishaps and tipping culture to naming dogs.
Lighthearted, irreverent, and filled with laughter, the episode is a breezy dose of relatable banter peppered with running gags and musical bits.

Ideal for fans who crave playful banter, this episode of Bob and Tom Extra is a patchwork of silly news (arrested mascots), personal memories (mascot jobs and dog names), comedic philosophy (why we tip), and music nostalgia. With no topic too trivial and no pun left unspoken, the witty asides and effortless chemistry among the hosts ensure that each tangent is as engaging as the last.
Useful for:
Listeners who want a laugh, enjoy pop culture oddities, or like feeling “in” on a bunch of ongoing inside jokes and riffs. Whether you’re in it for the music parodies, mascot disasters, or peculiar roadside attractions, there’s a little something for everyone—especially if your humor is as offbeat as the Bob & Tom crew’s.
