[Christopher (Producer)]

Look back into the past?

[Scott Potasnik]

You know your future's here. Oh, let it go. You gotta just remember baby then you know that you got to just surrender? When all is said and done we're not first to be here? There's nothing new underneath the sun Ra ra ra when all is said and done we're not the first to be here? Nothing new underneath the sun. I can see the resistance there behind is. But you know my persistence is so hard to find I'll let it go? You gotta just remember baby then you know that you got to just. When all is said and done we're not the first to be in there's nothing new underneath the sun Ra ra ra when all is said and done we're not the first to be here no underneath the sun? When all is said and done

[Pat Godwin]

there's

[Scott Potasnik]

nothing new underneath the sun.

[Tom Griswold]

Sa.

[Scott Potasnik]

There's nothing new underneath the sun. First of the year.

[Kristi Lee]

The Bob and Tom show is still trying to wake up. In the meantime, more Bob and Tom extra. I believe it's time to head over to the Christy Lee news desk.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that I'm ready to news.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay, what have you got over there?

[Josh Arnold]

A Chinese automaker has been granted a patent for a voice controlled car toilet.

[Kristi Lee]

Car toilet.

Wait. There's two things going on here.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait.

[Kristi Lee]

You got your voice control. That's scary.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Kristi Lee]

And then you've got the fact that it's in an automobile.

Tell me more.

[Tom Griswold]

What if your road rage manifests as

[Kristi Lee]

a bowel movement or.

[Tom Griswold]

No yelling that word. I'm. I'm guessing there's some. There's some things to a word to get things going.

[Kristi Lee]

How does it work?

[Josh Arnold]

According to the BBC, Tom, the patent filings show plans for an onboard toilet that slides out from the bottom of a passenger seat when not in use. The toilet is concealed beneath the seat, making full use of the space inside a car without requiring more room after use.

[Kristi Lee]

I guess they probably recommend don't slam on the brakes.

[Josh Arnold]

Engineers write that the feature is meant to satisfy users toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car.

[Kristi Lee]

This is silly.

[Josh Arnold]

It's designed to include a fan and exhaust pipe to channel odors out of the car. And waste is collected in a tank that has to be emptied manually.

[Scott Potasnik]

A tank?

[Kristi Lee]

No, thanks.

[Josh Arnold]

It features a rotating heating element that evaporates urine and dries other waste dropping on the road.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that is.

[Kristi Lee]

I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

When you get to one of the lesser states, just drop it on Dave Matthews style.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, man, that. Is there a need for this? I mean.

No, no, there's not.

There's a Gatorade bottle for number one. I mean, you do that, right, Josh?

Yeah. Because it has the wider mouth.

Yeah. You ever get in a situation, Pat, you've been in the road a lot.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

You don't have a wide mouth bottle and you have to.

[Pat Godwin]

I usually go with, like, a Starbucks cup. I've done it with the Starbucks.

[Kristi Lee]

Then what do you do?

[Josh Arnold]

And what do you do?

[Pat Godwin]

You wait till you get to the cup holder. You leave in the cup holder with the little.

[Kristi Lee]

Little. Right, right.

Do you remember? Wait a minute.

But that doesn't happen often. That's like an emergency.

That isn't a chai latte.

There's extra foam, though.

I mean, are you. Are you actually operating the vehicle while you're.

[Pat Godwin]

You gotta be really careful. Yes, I am.

[Kristi Lee]

Why do you just pull over for tail?

[Pat Godwin]

Sometimes you got to get there.

[Tom Griswold]

You got to make time, comedian. You got to make good time.

[Kristi Lee]

I mean, out of every road trip, though, Pat, wouldn't you say that's 1 in 25?

[Pat Godwin]

I would say 1 in 10, maybe.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay, so you're more. You're way more.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, Pat wakes up with a horn. He's got to get on the road, start driving. You gotta start driving.

[Pat Godwin]

Hangover, lipstick all over your whatnot.

[Kristi Lee]

Now, Pat, to get. It's anything to get off this. First of all, this is a stupid idea.

I agree, it's silly, but no wonder he got the patent. No one else was going for this at all.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Have you. You've seen the one that goes on the truck? It's just a toilet seat hooks up to a trailer hitch.

I mean, that makes more sense.

[Josh Arnold]

The bumper dumper does make sense.

[Kristi Lee]

Now you want to stop?

[Scott Potasnik]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Kristi Lee]

Wait a second. With all the lawyers we have, do you suppose it says on the bumper, this thing, it's a toilet seat that just hooks into a trailer hitch. Whatever it is, do you suppose they have to write on there for legal purposes, vehicle should not be moving.

I would not be shocked.

Brakes must be applied. Only use on a Flat surface. Do not.

Car cannot be in motion.

Can you imagine some poor idiot dies when the, the. The truck backs up on him while he's pooping with a truck. You know what's happened and you know

[Josh Arnold]

they've used it while it's been moving too.

[Kristi Lee]

Maybe even as a joke.

Oh, yeah, your buddy's going. And his buddy starts up and takes off. You. Yeah, that's happened.

[Josh Arnold]

Tailgating and some.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, there's probably some joker that has a seat belt on it. I didn't want to get in trouble. No, but Pat, we had a request. You had the oldest chick? Rather had the oldest living rabbit.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

In captivity, apparently. 15 year old rabbit. We have a request for your tribute.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, not mine. It's my friend. I'm gonna have to go ahead.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay.

We had the world's oldest chicken. Were you here for this, Josh?

Yes.

Yeah, this, this chicken. And it was some obscure variety. I forget what it was.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it was.

[Kristi Lee]

It was pretty. It was almost a brindle looking thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Like a speckly looking thing. Yeah, yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

And it. And it was, it. Was it a world record? The.

It was.

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Gretchen was her name. Gretchen.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. There you go. Okay. Oh, here it is. Yeah, it's a golden sea bright chicken named Gertie, as you mentioned. 15 1. 15 years, 100 days at the time it got the record still alive book

[Josh Arnold]

and we should probably check this morning.

[Kristi Lee]

It's owned by a guy named Frank Turk.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, the bird might have died.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm right here

[Scott Potasnik]

talking behind my back.

[Kristi Lee]

15 years old. Well, Gertie, you're gonna sing for us.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm gonna sing for everybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Here we go.

[Gertie (Chicken, voice)]

Oh, my wing hurt.

[Pat Godwin]

I gotta pick up the guitar.

[Josh Arnold]

Here we go.

[Gertie (Chicken, voice)]

I'm the oldest living chicken on earth how to find the note there. Fifteen years ago my mother God rest her soul gave birth I'm blind and can barely walk but I can still bark, bark, bark I'm the world's oldest chicken I've laid lots of eggs and many roosters too they don't call me Flirty Gurdy the dirty old birdie for nothing oh, that was hard to say they crowed for my attention I said any cockle doodle doo? I'm the queen of the pen Still a badass mother flocking hen I'm the oldest chicken all my offspring died Battered up, grilled and fried they wanted my wings but I said no, I ain't shuffling off the buffalo I'm the world's oldest living chicken Rocking on the porch with the guitar Just a Pickin. I'm deaf and can barely squawk, but I can still bark.

[Josh Arnold]

Bok bok.

[Gertie (Chicken, voice)]

I'm the world.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, Gertie.

[Gertie (Chicken, voice)]

Gotta take a nap now.

[Kristi Lee]

Very good. Hope you have a nice long life.

[Tom Griswold]

Gertie simply.

[Josh Arnold]

She's already had a long life.

[Kristi Lee]

Gertie's still with us.

Oh, yeah. We good?

I mean, we can check.

[Josh Arnold]

No, that's all right. We'd be really depressed if she wants.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's bathe on our ignorance, shall we?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

There's a picture of her snuggling up with her Great Dane named Maisie. Sweet.

They're pals.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, until he realizes, hey, I could. This is pretty good chicken.

[Kristi Lee]

This smells like those milk bones I had last week. Christy Lee is at the bombaton news desk. What else is happening?

[Josh Arnold]

A Titanic exhibit at Chicago's Volo Museum flooded on the anniversary of the famous ship sinking. According to WLS, the thunderstorms in the area brought heavy rain April 14, causing the exhibit to flood 114 years to the day of the Titanic sinking.

[Kristi Lee]

Do you see the article? What do you call it? The curator of the museum, he went down with the exhibit.

Yeah. That's what you do.

Or wait, no, he went down on the.

It's honorable.

One of the interns.

That's a. Yeah, that's what you do. Yeah. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Museum said staff took action to protect the displays and artifacts.

[Kristi Lee]

It's the honorable thing to do.

[Josh Arnold]

Which included fashion pieces and art from the era, along with over $6 million worth of vehicles owned by Titanic passengers. Now, wait a minute.

[Kristi Lee]

So.

Oh, yeah, there were cars on that.

No, but I mean, I think what these are. These are. They didn't get any of the cars off the Titanic. Can you imagine that? Hey, for all of you folks in third class, you can't get on the lifeboat because we're putting this model.

Yeah, sorry.

No.

Can we at least hit the Model T?

I'm assuming these are people who survived the Titanic.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a bizarre exhibit.

[Kristi Lee]

Eventually, yeah. This. The. I'm sure they're all fake. What this sounds like.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think it's fake.

[Kristi Lee]

My grandma was on the tank. Really? And she. She owned this Tesla. Oh, really?

Oh, is that right? Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, in London, a life jacket worn by a passenger on the Titanic sold for more than $900,000. What? The flotation device was worn by Laura Mabel Francatelli, a first class passenger and assigned by her and other survivors.

[Kristi Lee]

Italian barrada.

[Josh Arnold]

A seat cushion from one of the lifeboats sold for. I don't I didn't do the math on this one. 390, 000 pounds. Record breaking prices though for the Titanic stuff. That's amazing. 900 000. That would be creepy to have in your house, I would think.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah.

Oh, it's a haunting.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

You're asking for a haunted.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

So I don't understand. So these cars are just former.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know. You wrote the story. I'd like to look.

[Kristi Lee]

They weren't copies. Replicas of some of the cars that were actually on the show.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, I think this looks like a car show. They have the Batmobile and. I don't know, but they have a

[Josh Arnold]

Batmobile was on the Titanic. I didn't know that.

[Kristi Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I did not know that.

[Kristi Lee]

Holy iceberg, Batman.

These may be two different stuff. Just move on. I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

A number of Finnish Air Force cadet pilots are in hot water after they were caught forming crude penis shapes in the sky during training flights.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, boys, we're finished.

[Josh Arnold]

Flight patterns visible on the flight radar tracking service show at least four of several aircraft went on routes that resembled the shape of a penis.

[Kristi Lee]

This is a thing?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. The Finnish Air Force said the cadets responsible for the phallic flight paths would be subject to disciplinary consequence.

[Kristi Lee]

It shows that they can. They know what they're doing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

They know how to fly in a pattern that's interesting. You don't think it's okay.

I know. And I don't think they should be fired.

They're not skywriting, Right?

No, I know. Yeah.

It's. You have to be.

Who was offended in the Finnish Air Force by this?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And if they were, so what?

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. Plus the Finnish Air Force has to be like six guys

[Tom Griswold]

and they're not very good flyers. They're just sitting around in saunas waiting to go off. Right?

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah.

I say, look, these guys are brave, of course. And yeah. If. If you want to draw dicks in the sky and you're going to be going out there and shooting the enemy and drop my good. You do whatever you want there, buddy.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll.

[Kristi Lee]

We'll call it top schlong. Okay, now we're looking at the radar. The one on the left quite clearly.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, but. And the one in the middle, obviously

[Kristi Lee]

the one on the left almost looks more like a snake with like eyes.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, I saw. Wait a minute. The one in the middle is certainly. Yeah. If you look in the. That's a even.

That's very rudimentary. Looks like a pretty tight turn it Does. Yeah.

That's some good flying.

Those balls are hot. I mean, I'm not gay. I mean.

No.

[Scott Potasnik]

Hey,

[Kristi Lee]

man, anybody ever been to Finland?

[Josh Arnold]

I have not. It's on my list. I'd like to go there.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah.

Is that the sauna capital?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I had a in. In law that was Finnish. One of the marriages.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, which one?

[Tom Griswold]

It was. Yeah. Very sour person. Very sour, Sour, dour, the whole thing.

[Kristi Lee]

And. And Chrissy, they say most.

But how about the in law flowers?

[Tom Griswold]

Boom. In that sun.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, men. Men tend to finish too early.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, in Finland. Oh, the finishment.

[Tom Griswold]

Gotta get to the sauna.

[Josh Arnold]

A California man has been charged with grand theft in connection with a LEGO theft scheme. The Irvine Police Department report the suspect purchase LEGO sets from Target stores, remove pieces from inside, replace them with small bags of dried pasta before returning the toys.

[Scott Potasnik]

That's great.

[Kristi Lee]

Very odd target.

I mean, you open it up, you could build. You could build a model of an Olive Garden.

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

At least 70 thefts nationwide tied to the same suspect, amounting to about $34,000 in losses. A 28 year old man was identified as the alleged thief and taken into custody. Man.

[Kristi Lee]

I mean, it makes sense. You take the box back and they would shake it. Oh, it sounds like it's got.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. And it's got dried.

[Kristi Lee]

But he must have obviously gone back and tried it again and again because he finally got caught.

[Josh Arnold]

70 cents.

[Kristi Lee]

I have a question.

Ask away.

Is there a restaurant called Pasta La Vista or Pasta La Vista, Baby, I hope so.

[Pat Godwin]

Don't you think there would have to be?

[Kristi Lee]

I hope Arnold Schwarzenegger owned one called Man.

[Tom Griswold]

I hostile of Easter, baby.

[Kristi Lee]

I think he learned his lesson with Planet Hollywood.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, I've got a feeling he cashed out early.

Yeah, yeah, you're right. He didn't lose.

Arnold, I understand, is quite wealthy. Oh, sure, I think he did. He did just fine.

Hostela Vista.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's see here we have another Lego story. A blind man is working to make LEGO more accessible for others who are visually impaired. When he was a child, Mr. Matthew Shiffrin had to rely on friends and family to help him build his Lego sets. It wasn't until he was 13 he was able to build one on his own after a family friend gave him a binder filled with accessible instructions written in Braille.

[Kristi Lee]

That's cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Now that he's 28, Mr. Shifrin works with a team of 30 sighted writers and blind testers to create accessible LEGO instructions that are free to download. So far, the nonprofit has created instructions for more than 540 Lego sets ranging from a 100 piece car to a 4,000 piece bridge. With 3,000 builders having used the instructions so far.

[Kristi Lee]

So this is for the random Legos you just have. You can look at these.

No, no, no, this is.

It's actual sets.

If you buy the spaceship, it'll tell you in Braille. In Braille. What? But that's gotta be tricky because I mean as a sighted person, I've struggled with many of the Legos, particularly the ones that the shades of color are a little too close.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Kristi Lee]

Is that violet or purple?

And we don't say sighted person anymore, Tom. We say non blindy.

[Tom Griswold]

Non blindy or non blindish.

[Kristi Lee]

An unhoused non blindy. Wait a minute. This is getting very confusing.

Tom, you'll be happy to know there's a pasta la vista baby food truck. Ah, yeah. Out there. And there's a schedule online and everything.

Oh, cool. I'm a big fan. Pasta, I mean that sounds very good.

[DISH Announcer]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. Take it away. Pasta is really not that popular.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe take away pasta.

[Tom Griswold]

Take away tacos. I see that, but yeah, I've never

[Kristi Lee]

seen a pasta truck.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Give me a cone of spaghetti. I guess. I don't know. Would you. How would you eat that?

[Kristi Lee]

Would it be sort of a breadstick cone?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you know what you're talking.

[Tom Griswold]

They have an Italian ice cream cone where they hollow out Italian bread and dump a big meatball in it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Spaghetti on the top. Oh, I know, sounds great. Meatballs big as your head.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, that's a great Lego story though.

That is great.

That's really.

The top of every Lego is sort of braille, isn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, but it's all all the same bones.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you think? Three, what would it be? Six dots on the top of a Lego.

[Kristi Lee]

Maybe something insulting.

Letters, Morse code for Lego.

Just told me to screw off.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, F me.

[Scott Potasnik]

F you.

[Kristi Lee]

I bet there's some really cool, great dirty braille jokes. Probably like insider stuff for those that don't have sight.

What about the braille that occurs around areolas? You know that you know what I'm talking about the kind of you're bumpier.

[Tom Griswold]

I certainly don't want to.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes you get chilly and little.

[Kristi Lee]

Right. But do you think a blind guy has ever went, hey, you don't know this, but you just.

[Tom Griswold]

The second time you've mentioned those bumps

[Kristi Lee]

you just quoted Oscar Wilde.

Ironic really. He might have gone in the gutter, but it gone with something a little more hetero.

[Tom Griswold]

Like those.

[Kristi Lee]

You think someone's ever had. Do you think someone's ever had a. Hang on a second. This may be a thing. Could you do a braille tattoo by inserting some kind of medically grade. Medical grade plastic spheres under the skin?

Probably. Or even something BB like.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably?

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. Yeah, probably.

That'd be. That'd be kind of cool, don't you think?

You could probably do that to your wiener and it would be like wearing a ribbed con.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my God.

[Kristi Lee]

You know, we are doing so well here, Chick. I don't know what happened.

No, no. I think you add a few ridges and bumps on.

[Pat Godwin]

That's been done.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, it's out there.

[Tom Griswold]

Your vote to hire him is why he's here.

[Kristi Lee]

I can't.

I'm sorry. I'd get stegosaurus blades.

[Tom Griswold]

A ridge. Stegosaurus ridge.

[Kristi Lee]

And I'm not against the nipular bumps.

[Josh Arnold]

You're not?

[Tom Griswold]

I know.

[Kristi Lee]

I'm also a big fan of the blue veins.

Yeah, you've said that. I saw them open for at Coachella

[Tom Griswold]

last year and I've always heard them.

[Kristi Lee]

They open for.
