I don't know about you, but I

[Kristi Lee]

like keeping my money where I can see it. Unfortunately, traditional big wireless carriers also seem

[Tom Griswold]

to like keeping my money too.

[Kristi Lee]

And I switched to Mint Mobile and now I'm only paying a fraction of what I used to pay. Mint Mobile works for me. It'll work for you too.

[Kristi Lee]

I know Ross, you're working on a new CD project. Anything else up your sleeve?

[Bob Kevoian]

So I'm going to make my segue into this radio, right? And and I know you guys are all full up. You know I'm not looking for anybody's job who's here, but there's lots of other lesser markets and so what I'm going to do is I've been working on some catchphrases. Oh, these are little things that I can say like, you know, at different times during the show when things kind of. Here's, here's what I got. Hey, I'm. I'm burning up the mic. Is this microphone. This microphone feels hot. I'm so good. I'm burning up the mic.

[Kristi Lee]

All right. Uh huh. That's an interesting idea.

[Tom Griswold]

One to think of.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not another one.

[Chick McGee]

I like it.

[Kristi Lee]

You like to be praising, praising yourself

[Bob Kevoian]

in your own work because that's the whole thing. You get on one of these radio shows enough like every day for months.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Don't take this wrong. You don't even have to be good. All you got to do is just say the same thing a lot. And then all of a sudden, for instance, I got this one I'm working on. I'm gonna get this done right now.

[Kristi Lee]

Kind of like a. Kind of get her done a little bit.

[Bob Kevoian]

But it's not. But it's not. Listen to it.

[Tom Griswold]

He's gonna get it done right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get this done. Not gonna get er done.

[Kristi Lee]

Get this done.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. I'm gonna get this done right now.

[Tom Griswold]

Right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I bet you at the point I'm gonna be able to like, eventually just get rid of the beginning and just say right now. Right now.

[Kristi Lee]

It becomes so popular that, you know,

[Bob Kevoian]

and then like in a few more months I'll be like, now rn.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Rn. Eventually all I'll have to do is it go. And they're right there on top of it. Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay, so we've honed this down. Now the, the I. Is it. I need it right now. That's the phrase.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think it is. It's whatever it happens to be. And then right now, right.

[Kristi Lee]

In real life, catchphrases. Right.

[Christopher]

Right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right now.

[Kristi Lee]

That's the great phrase. Not I need it right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't need it right now. It's right now. But it can fit in with this. So that way it can be used for everything, you know?

[Kristi Lee]

I see.

[Bob Kevoian]

I gotta, I gotta go to the bathroom right now.

[Kristi Lee]

I've been there.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, it's okay. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. What do you want to eat? I wanna, I want a burger right now. That's it. Right now, is it?

[Kristi Lee]

I can tell that.

[Chick McGee]

That's my phrase.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, I like it right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

I got this bit I'm doing about my son and.

[Kristi Lee]

No, you should explain you have an adult son. He's 22. 23.

[Bob Kevoian]

22. And I got this. I think I can fit in right now into the bit. My son's at the age where he doesn't think he has to move out. Okay. And, and I'll drop little hints. I'll say things like, you have to get the hell out of here. Uh huh.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, that's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

I said, you need your own place. He goes, I have my own place. He's pointing to his room, goes, I have my own place. I said, this is my place. He said, we'll see who dies first.

[Kristi Lee]

Cause he wants you to die right now. Missed something.

[Tom Griswold]

Here you go.

[Kristi Lee]

We'll try to catch you up.

[Tom Griswold]

This is Bob and Tom. Extra Pat Godwin under the weather. Josh Arnold up to his armpits and Lake of the Ozarks. Could be going to the bathroom out in the middle of the lake right now.

[Kristi Lee]

Is the tournament over? I assume it's over today, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't, I don't know.

[Kristi Lee]

It was a Saturday. Sunday.

[Tom Griswold]

Keep asking questions, no one knows the answer. Okay. I'm Chick, here's Tom.

[Kristi Lee]

We were talking about the. Apparently cassettes are making something of a comeback. And they said Taylor Swift has sold what, 30,000 cassettes, give or take? Yeah. And I do think it's because people have old cars, because they don't have the sort of a collectible. I mean, when you vinyl, for example, you're getting a nice piece of art. The album with a cassette, it's a little tiny package, which is why you

[Josh Arnold]

didn't like cassettes to begin with.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, I always, I always liked the art on albums, but there are a lot of Bob and Tom cassettes floating around out there, including some of our classic albums. But it's just interesting to me that they're making a little bit of a comeback. And it started with Guardians of the Galaxy because there was that whole mixtape thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Well, the best part about the cassette was the blank cassette because you could then like take your recorder and put it over the radio and when the D, you would hope the DJ stopped talking soon enough that you could hit record.

[Kristi Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

As the song.

[Kristi Lee]

You could make mixtapes.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Or if you, you, you would hit the little tab so you couldn't record over it, but then you'd want to record over it later. So you get, put it over the.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay, how many, how many, how many times did you get a pencil and you take the cassette out of the thing and there's tape everywhere. You Take a pencil, stick it in those little gears and spin it around to get the tape back in there. Or take a piece of scotch tape where it broke and fix it. You'd be listening to the song. There'd be this glitch.

[Tom Griswold]

You'd put it on the end of a pencil and spin it around.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You could rewind it or whatever. Yeah, absolutely.

[Kristi Lee]

Or you could torture your brothers by taking their cassettes and pulling out the tape.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, did you?

[Kristi Lee]

No, I would never.

[Tom Griswold]

I bet you.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you were a little.

[Chick McGee]

He.

[Kristi Lee]

My brother was like chick. He had. My brother John had the. The eight track home tape maker. So you could buy blank eight tracks and record albums onto eight track.

[Tom Griswold]

I had eight track cassettes, vinyl and receiver all in one unit.

[Kristi Lee]

There hasn't been a revival of the A track. I. I would like to know. I'm guessing the last eight track ever produced was probably country music.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably.

[Kristi Lee]

I'm guessing.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, I have a question. We have microphones in here that we have a hard time picking up our guests on. But yet I can hear every damn sugar packet every time you do that.

[Kristi Lee]

Because I'm so sweet.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it just me?

[Tom Griswold]

You're just a pain in the ass. We all hear it.

[Kristi Lee]

Sorry. Whatever frequency that is.

[Tom Griswold]

Fortunately, I don't have it.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently.

[Tom Griswold]

Last major. Now listen to me.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay, Tom, I'm listening.

[Tom Griswold]

The Last major label 8 track tape released in 1988.

[Kristi Lee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

With Fleetwood Max Greatest Hits. Whoa. However, there are some unauthorized releases that were made as late as 1995. Eight track tapes, but they're more. They're kind of boots, I guess. So there you go.

[Kristi Lee]

But again, to me, the reason the cassettes are still out there is because people have cars that were made before. What was it, 2010?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Makes sense.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, why won't. Why wouldn't a track day be out there?

[Josh Arnold]

I think Figgy has a cassette deck in it.

[Kristi Lee]

Eight track tapes. One. The cassette was so superior. I mean, you remember because with the 8 tech, it would be in the.

[Tom Griswold]

What was.

[Kristi Lee]

You were talking to Peter Frampton about this?

[Bob Kevoian]

That.

[Kristi Lee]

That. In which song is it? Is it? Do you feel like I do you

[Tom Griswold]

feel like we do at the end. I. I had to make a repair on my 8 track so many times it would go and it would cut out.

[Kristi Lee]

That was the last time. Peter doesn't lie for us. He likes to.

[Tom Griswold]

It goes right back to the first song. Ladies and gentlemen, unofficial member of San Francisco Society, Mr. Peter Frantic. Yeah. And then you go back to that.

[Kristi Lee]

Some great stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It would Click in the middle of songs. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I've never listened to anything on Nate track.

[Tom Griswold]

No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you're a kid. You're a youngster.

[Tom Griswold]

I got about 108 tracks stolen out of my car for love. I was picking her up from a restaurant job. I was parked in back, and someone stole all my A tracks. So, of course, what did I do?

[Josh Arnold]

Bought new ones?

[Tom Griswold]

Nope. I blamed her. And.

[Kristi Lee]

And it didn't end well.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it did not.

[Kristi Lee]

You ever dial in Tokyo with her

[Tom Griswold]

tune in Tokyo? And no one has ever tuned in

[Kristi Lee]

Tokyo, but there's some kid listening is gonna do it tonight. Hey, I learned something from Tom on the Bob.

[Tom Griswold]

But those were the first boobs I touched.

[Josh Arnold]

I was gonna say. Is that the first boo?

[Tom Griswold]

What about you? Why don't you put a. Put a what? What year was it? You can tell us what year. You don't tell us a person.

[Kristi Lee]

I don't remember this sort of thing, and a gentleman would never discuss it.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't remember the first boobs you touched?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, you do. I bet it was in Michigan.

[Kristi Lee]

Not my mother's. I was not breastfed.

[Tom Griswold]

Why would anyone suggest.

[Josh Arnold]

Why would you even think that?

[Kristi Lee]

Were you breastfed, Christy?

[Josh Arnold]

No. But why would you even think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nope.

[Kristi Lee]

Ace.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Kristi Lee]

Fair. Fair answer, Mr. McGee. Were you breastfed by your mother?

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of sad. No, I was not. No.

[Josh Arnold]

We were born of an era where that was considered.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Not cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The.

[Kristi Lee]

The industry that makes formula. Formula decided to tell people that it's bad for you, when, of course, it's not.

[Chick McGee]

On behalf of all of our listeners, Christy, do you remember the first breast you ever touched?

[Josh Arnold]

First breast I ever touched.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Excluding your own, of course.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It was in a bathroom at a club because some girl had just gotten new boobs and she wanted to show them off.

[Kristi Lee]

That's a common thing, isn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. And you got to feel them. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

She was in the club.

[Josh Arnold]

I was in the club. You know, in that situation, I didn't know if they were hard. You know, I was kind of interested in that situation.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know if the boobs are hard, but

[Kristi Lee]

please don't be so vulgar in that situation. Do they taste any different?

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't taste them. Sorry to disappoint.

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta get in there. Dialing.

[Kristi Lee]

Did you eat it? You didn't do the dialing in Tokyo thing?

[Tom Griswold]

Tuning in Tokyo and no one does it.

[Kristi Lee]

Sure, it's been done. If you're out there listening, if you get a chance, pull Over. Email us if you've ever tuned in Tokyo and if you know what I'm talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not embarrassed to say I'm a boob girl. I love good, good set of boobs on a woman.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I'm really jealous, man. Yeah, they're very nice.

[Kristi Lee]

If Josh.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a fan.

[Kristi Lee]

If Joshua here, he would tell you which restaurant to go to right down the street here.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, is there a woman. That's very nicely.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, you know. You know. Oh, yeah, the Heavy Nats.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I'll. I'll speak for Josh when I got to become conscious.

[Kristi Lee]

Give me the. Give me the teaser.

[Josh Arnold]

I just love how you just. You just skate over everything like you've never done anything wrong in your entire life. I love it. It's cute. It's very cute.

[Kristi Lee]

I've made many mistakes in my life. This includes in the realm of hiring.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, all right.

[Tom Griswold]

I know what boobs Tom touched. That's right. When Tom was just a little boy, he had Paula, the upstairs maid. Downstairs maid.

[Kristi Lee]

It was an upstairs downstairs. To help kind Tom, lady, German immigrant,

[Tom Griswold]

find out about the word elderly. Paula would give him a shower every night until Tommy was too big to give a shower. Oh, my goodness. The size of your Schwartz.

[Kristi Lee]

It was a bath, not a shower. Paula, by the way, hers would be considered to be Zeppelin. She was stout lady.

[Tom Griswold]

What would you do if you found out that all of that that she wore was fake padding? And she had a killer body? Just amazing. Amazing body on her. Could have been the first Mrs. Griswold.

[Josh Arnold]

Paula, how old was. She Was older.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, my God. She was probably born in the 1800s.

[Chick McGee]

Did she ever nestle you in her bosom?

[Kristi Lee]

She didn't teach me how to iron. That comes in handy. I'm a big fan.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, she taught me how to iron. All right, Christy, what have you got over there?

[Josh Arnold]

A trio of beachcombers in Denmark stumbled upon a whale penis. According to The Daily Star, Ms. Ren Wilsholm was picking up trash at a beach in Bornholm with her friends Morton Gebhart and Kenneth Nielsen when they discovered what they initially thought was the fossil remains of a sea snake.

[Kristi Lee]

Have you seen this picture?

[Tom Griswold]

We come down and collect trash.

[Kristi Lee]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

There you go.

[Kristi Lee]

It's this thing. Looks like it. Looks like it's about. Looks like about what, four and a half feet long, maybe kind of early on one end.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's longer than four and a half. Five feet long, I bet.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, maybe five feet long.

[Tom Griswold]

And well, what's with the. What's with the curve in it?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I don't know, but they.

[Kristi Lee]

It's a whale penis.

[Josh Arnold]

They actually had found a whale penis.

[Tom Griswold]

So which end hooked to the whale?

[Kristi Lee]

I assume the fatter one.

[Tom Griswold]

The wider, the thicker. Yeah, I. I think.

[Kristi Lee]

I would hope.

[Josh Arnold]

I would hope too.

[Chick McGee]

Wait, so there's a dickless whale swimming around.

[Kristi Lee]

You've never heard of the famous dickless wh. Oh, that's a great kid show.

[Chick McGee]

I never read.

[Kristi Lee]

That's a funny, funny show. Sadly teaches kids about anatomy.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't it look like the. The front of the whale penis? You could make talk. Doesn't it look like it has a pair of lips? It looks like Audrey from.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh yeah. The trio believed it belonged to a young humpback that washed up on the same beach earlier this year.

[Kristi Lee]

You can see how they'd make that mistake. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The whale pianist has since been taken to the Nature Born Home Natural History center for further research.

[Kristi Lee]

I mean you could certainly see how they made. I know it's. For example, Saturday morning I rode my bike into town and I was sitting in my favorite coffee shop. Just sitting outside and having. Having a Danish and some coffee. I rode my bike into death.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm glad you do that.

[Kristi Lee]

I got distracted. I thought I was taking a bite of my Danish when I was just taking a big hunk of whale Peters. Just because it's. You know, it's so similar salty.

[Tom Griswold]

It's been known to happen.

[Kristi Lee]

And by the way, the cigar guy. Go somewhere else.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

What cigar guy?

[Kristi Lee]

The guy's smoking cigars at the next table.

[Josh Arnold]

Wait, he was sitting outside? Yeah, in the morning.

[Tom Griswold]

But. Yeah, but isn't he. Isn't he allowed to smoke cigars at the. At the establishment? It just bothers you.

[Kristi Lee]

I mean it did go somewhere else. Go away from people.

[Josh Arnold]

I like smoke. I love cigar smoke. It smells.

[Chick McGee]

Eight in the morning.

[Kristi Lee]

Seven in the morning when I'm trying to have a delicious cup of coffee and. Oh great.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks. Why don't you could. Do you think you could ever be mature enough to go over and say excuse me, I'm really having a reaction to your cigar smoke?

[Kristi Lee]

Between that and the ridiculous facial hair, I should probably say something.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh my goodness.

[Kristi Lee]

You're gonna light that pencil thin waxed mustache on fire. Hipster.

[Tom Griswold]

Well remember you. Yeah. You really do have to make it personal no matter what you want. What you ask him. You know.

[Josh Arnold]

An Australian angler reeled in a rare ore fish recently known as the doomsday fish off the tiwi Islands oh good.

[Kristi Lee]

This is the second time we've had this doomsday fish in the news this year.

[Josh Arnold]

I wonder if that's a sign.

[Kristi Lee]

Well that's the thing they say when you find one bad things are going to happen. God knows if you grab any newspaper this morning plenty of.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah plenty of bad stuff to go around here.

[Josh Arnold]

We got hurricane Milton just waiting. The massive oarfish landed by Mr. Curtis Peterson. Observers say the oarfish have a mythical reputation as predictors of natural disasters or earthquakes along although no correlation has actually been proven. According to the Australian museum or fish are believed to live at the depths as much as 600ft and can grow up to 30ft in length.

[Kristi Lee]

Think about that. A 30 foot long fish. Have you seen a picture of one of these?

[Josh Arnold]

They're disgusting looking.

[Kristi Lee]

They're really ugly.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

As I often say, if looks could krill. Well thank you. I appreciate the acknowledgement of them.

[Tom Griswold]

Who are you thanking?

[Chick McGee]

Dude, I was surprised. I watched a fishing. They have a fishing show on people catching tuna like and those things are like thousands of pounds.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like oh yeah, up on the boat.

[Chick McGee]

And I was like well you know how in the Bible they talk about Jesus performing the miracle feeding everyone with two fishes?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

It's like well if they were two, two thousand pound tuna. That's not, that's not a miracle.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's an easy.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, but yeah, no it is because Jesus was able to put them in cans with labels.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh well, well now that is a miracle.

[Kristi Lee]

You try doing that quickly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good point.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. This doomsday fish is really. This is the. Like I said, this is the second one this year one washed up. Was it in Oregon earlier this year?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't remember. And this one in Australia and so yeah, we'll have to.

[Josh Arnold]

The owner of a water buffalo that ran loose in a Des Moines suburb for several days. Water buffalo guilty for having an animal at large. Wally Back in August, you'll recall the owner was taking the animal to slaughter when it escaped and was spotted roaming around Pleasant Hill.

[Tom Griswold]

That's when the water buffalo said I beg your pardon, where are we going?

[Josh Arnold]

We're not going out on a walk. Fans named the water buffalo fill after the city P H I L L Police spent days searching for the animal before it was eventually tranquilized and the owner was fined $105 in order to pay court costs.

[Kristi Lee]

Seems a little light to me.

[Tom Griswold]

Creativity.

[Kristi Lee]

105 bucks for all the police work to capture this critter.

[Josh Arnold]

The former owner gave custody of Phil and two other water buffaloes now named Sal and Jane to an animal shelter. Phil was treated at a large animal hospital for an infected gunshot wound, but is said to be recovering well. Who shot at the water buffalo? That's horrible.
