Bob Kevoian
This is Bob and Tom.
Sponsor Announcer 2
Extra.
Tom Griswold
We got a nice letter here, mentions you.
Kristi Lee
All right, sir.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom Show. First off, on the subject of Tom not remembering common words and having to make a word up on the spot, I had one of those moments the other day. I couldn't think of the word calzone. A fine Italian dish, delightfully delicious. I said to my brother, hey, do you remember the name of that Italian restaurant near your house? The one where we had the Italian omelets?
Kristi Lee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
To which he said, that's a calzone. That restaurant's been closed for two years. Anyway, have a good day. And then our letter writer, Eric with a K, writes, always have a good day and much love to my guy Chick Magee. Hey, I would say he's man pretty, but I don't want it going to his head.
Kristi Lee
Man pretty.
Tom Griswold
That is a nice phrase. Familiar with that?
Hilton Honors Advertiser
All right.
Tom Griswold
Do you like being called man pretty?
Kristi Lee
Had never handsome. Certainly never heard of that.
Tom Griswold
Well, Eric thinks you're a man.
Kristi Lee
I'll take it.
Tom Griswold
Okay, very good. What do you got over there?
Kristi Lee
Dear Bob and Tom show. This past weekend I was given the realization that I am, yes, slowly turning into Tom. My daughter and wife were talking about Germany and I said, you have to be careful. In Germany you can't order any amount more than eight. My wife asked, why is that? I replied, because when you ask for more than eight, they say nine. After a moment of silence, I started to explain how the number nine and the German word for no sound the same. And that made a fine joke, dealing in wordplay. My wife strongly disagreed and I ended with, well, I guess you have lost the remainder of your sense of humor. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to buy some black underwear and white linen pants.
Tom Griswold
Oh, all right.
Kristi Lee
Pray for me. That is rich. Thank you. Thank you very much. Rich.
Tom Griswold
Yes, I see. There you go. Christy Lee, what do you got over there?
Josh Arnold
I don't have anything.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I thought you had part of our mailbag.
Kristi Lee
All right, sir.
Tom Griswold
Am I the only one.
Kristi Lee
I've got. Dear Bob and Tom, show one more. My daughter walked in the house yesterday wearing a Paddington sweatshirt. I rolled my eyes and said, tom would love that. She said, who's Tom? And I said, tom from Bob and Tom. She said, tom sounds like a cool guy. And I started laughing really hard. That's Nate in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
Tom Griswold
Thank you. Now, yesterday also, we had a license plate issued. You remember this? Do you remember what it said?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it was TRD lvr. And we found out that TRD stands for Toyota Something thing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's. It's a version of the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Josh Arnold
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
When one read the vanity plate, the mind thinks turd lover.
Josh Arnold
Sure, of course it does.
Tom Griswold
You say t. It was TRD Space, lvr. And the Eric. Another Eric is kind enough to write. Yeah, there is a Toyota Land Cruiser. The TRD Pro.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
So I think if. Maybe if contextually, if. If that were on one of those.
Josh Arnold
A Land Cruiser, it would make sense. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Again, vanity plates, very tricky business.
Kristi Lee
Maybe you need some tlc. The Toyota Land Cruiser.
Bob Kevoian
You know what?
Kristi Lee
Toyota can have that. Do you just take that. You're like.
Tom Griswold
And let them use that.
Kristi Lee
You go right ahead.
Tom Griswold
Certainly a very fine vehicle.
Kristi Lee
Tlc. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And also yesterday, we touched on a topic I forgot. I think Josh brought this up, and I. I found the source on it. And this was the subject of casting and how.
Kristi Lee
Like fish casting or.
Tom Griswold
No, no, movie casting.
Christopher
Okay.
Tom Griswold
And that there have been an inordinate number of actors named Chris in movies and more talking animals than women of a certain age and lead role. So I. I actually wanted to read more about it, so I dug it up. And, Christy, I gave it to you. You got it over there.
Josh Arnold
New research shows a movie is more likely to star an actor named Chris or a talking animal rather than a female lead over the age of 60. Great way to start the show. The Aging Better Organization conducted an analysis on ageism in the film industry, found just five of the 100 highest grossing movies of the past three years starred a woman over 60 as the lead character. By contrast, six films featured a Chris as the lead actor, half of which were, of course, Chris Pratt. He was in Super Mario Brothers movie. Guardians of the Galaxy three Garfield films are also four times more likely to have a talking animal as the lead character than a female actor over the age of 60. Do they count animals that are cartoons?
Guest or Additional Host
Apparently.
Tom Griswold
I mean, I'd go see the Devil wears Prada 3 if there were a talking dog in it. They got to be vastly more interesting
Guest or Additional Host
advising people on fashion.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Enjoy Devil Wells, Broderick.
Tom Griswold
I think part of that.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
Part of that is I think that a lot of movies are made for kids.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Ergo, the talking animals. I love talking animal movies. I can't wait to see. To see the talking toys in Toy Story 5. I did. I heard a preview of it the other day.
Kristi Lee
Are there new toys for number five?
Tom Griswold
I don't. Well, the. I know what the theme of. I know what the plot is, kind of.
Josh Arnold
What's the plot?
Tom Griswold
Well, it involves because Andy's gone to
Josh Arnold
college, so we don't have that anymore.
Tom Griswold
And yeah, it involves screens versus toys. In other words, I assume it's an iPad type thing versus the other. The real toys.
Josh Arnold
Does Andy have kids of his own now?
Tom Griswold
I don't know anything else about it,
Josh Arnold
but that'd be cool.
Tom Griswold
It's. It's a Tim Allen and Tom Hanks, et cetera, et cetera. And then in Toy Story 5, and it's. It's coming out just around the corners now.
Kristi Lee
You know, at Shakespeare's, don't they have little ham and cheese sliders? They call those hamlets.
Guest or Additional Host
They do, and they're delicious.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. Yes, that's right. They cook them in a.
Tom Griswold
If they don't.
Kristi Lee
More hamlets.
Tom Griswold
If they don't.
Josh Arnold
That's a great idea.
Tom Griswold
There has to be. Is that.
Kristi Lee
And the side of Macbeth and cheese.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yes.
Guest or Additional Host
Boy, that's funny. I mean, they may as well do that.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, yeah.
Kristi Lee
You got to do McBee.
Tom Griswold
We could do.
Kristi Lee
Because who gives up in the winter?
Guest or Additional Host
They've got the taming of the stew. That is just wonderful.
Tom Griswold
Sit back and watch this.
Guest or Additional Host
The Romeo and julienne fries aren't bad, sir.
Kristi Lee
Delish.
Tom Griswold
Do you like the themed restaurants that have the clever.
Kristi Lee
I like the theme restaurant where the theme is great service and good food or any combination and easy parking. Yes.
Tom Griswold
I get a kick out of it.
Kristi Lee
I had. I had a dinner last night and I. I ordered my entree and then I said, oh, hang on, I'd like some fried pickles, which is a big appetizer now.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Kristi Lee
You deep fry a pickle and. And the lady goes, oh, I've already put your. I Can't do that. I've already. I've already put your main. Your. Your main dish in. I can't. I can't go back.
Josh Arnold
What?
Kristi Lee
And I said, okay, never mind. I. I absolutely. She goes, no, no, wait a minute. Hang on. I'm not making any of this up.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Kristi Lee
Okie doke.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, you were eating it. Accommodating.
Kristi Lee
It's.
Guest or Additional Host
It's an ironic name.
Kristi Lee
It's one of the. They're sorry to bother you.
Guest or Additional Host
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Accommodating. Yeah, it was.
Josh Arnold
Oh, did you get your fried pickles?
Kristi Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
For dessert, but in a.
Kristi Lee
But in a sarcastic way. Yeah.
Guest or Additional Host
These what you wanted?
Kristi Lee
Yeah, one of those.
Tom Griswold
You happy now?
Kristi Lee
Here's your almighty fried pickles.
Tom Griswold
Welcome to. We know you're going to pay, but.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. I couldn't believe.
Guest or Additional Host
It's not. Three vans pull up and it was their point of service technicians. My God.
Kristi Lee
Who.
Guest or Additional Host
Who ordered an appetizer after an entree.
Kristi Lee
All right, everybody out of them. Everybody out. And then she picks up the dishes after and takes my fork from my salad with, of course, ranch dressing. And there's ranch dressing on this fork. And it cascades onto my shoulder. And she did one of these. Oh, sorry. She had it out for me. Tom, huh? Yeah.
Guest or Additional Host
Did you look at her go? This is why I doordash.
Tom Griswold
Was there a heavy tip left?
Kristi Lee
Oh, yeah. I gave her a sarcastic. She doesn't know it, but she thinks I loved her. It was meant in sar. 20 bucks. Is sarcasm, baby, a sarcastic tip?
Tom Griswold
Well, thank you.
Kristi Lee
That's right. That's right.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show. Yeah, I was not looking forward to mowing the lawn last night, but listening to Bob and Tom 247 on the way home reminded me to get out my raycon everyday earbuds with noise canceling. I got home, put on the headphones, put on my favorite Josh Arnold T shirt.
Guest or Additional Host
This is a guy who just wanted his letter read.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I think so.
Tom Griswold
While I was in Michigan.
Kristi Lee
Anything about me in there?
Josh Arnold
Michigan. Exactly.
Kristi Lee
Pat really killed it in a show.
Tom Griswold
I thought you'd be. I thought you'd be pleased. There weren't a lot of Josh Arnold T shirts sold out there that you
Guest or Additional Host
don't think so recently. I can show you the numbers.
Kristi Lee
That's right. I thought that.
Tom Griswold
I've been impressed.
Sponsor Announcer 2
That.
Guest or Additional Host
That's great.
Tom Griswold
That's. That's the famous T shirt that says, yeah, sure. And there's a photograph.
Guest or Additional Host
Unless this guy's lying. Do you.
Kristi Lee
No, no, there's a.
Tom Griswold
There's a photograph.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, there is.
Kristi Lee
Who did that character for half. That's very cool.
Guest or Additional Host
Some guy out of Bloomington, Indiana.
Josh Arnold
No kidding?
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He's not wearing it in the photograph.
Kristi Lee
I think he might be in genuine here in a couple of spots.
Guest or Additional Host
I think.
Kristi Lee
I think Josh is on to something, Ronald. Just say his name and where he lives.
Tom Griswold
I'll tell you what, this is the best part of the letter. He goes. I put on my favorite Josh Arnold T shirt and happily mowed the lawn with a great view of the Mississippi River. Oh, doesn't that take you somewhere?
Kristi Lee
I thought he was going to say in a great view of the misses up on the porch, bend over.
Tom Griswold
That sounds great. That leads me to this letter.
Kristi Lee
Something like mowing the yard and a great view of the Mississippi River.
Tom Griswold
What's wrong with you people? Oh, I'm sorry, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't a screen with some, some vulgar pornographic movie on it.
Guest or Additional Host
I like when he said, doesn't that take you somewhere? Yeah, like 20 states.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. You just can't see the Mississippi R.
Tom Griswold
Your subliterate Contention is the 20 states border of the Mississippi River.
Guest or Additional Host
I just, I mean it runs, runs from top to bottom, my friend.
Tom Griswold
I need a number.
Kristi Lee
I long for sublibberate literate.
Bob Kevoian
See?
Tom Griswold
Okay. I mean, don't you think that, that sweet.
Guest or Additional Host
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Listen. Yeah, there he goes. And he's, he's a chubby man. And his T shirt says I beat anorexia.
Guest or Additional Host
Not one of my shirts at all. No, it's just a fat joke. So now we, we know. Yeah, any shirt that is a fat joke is considered a Josh Arnold shirt.
Kristi Lee
And that is low hanging fruit. Oh boy.
Tom Griswold
I didn't. Where's the Mississippi River? Oh, there it is in the background. You can see it.
Kristi Lee
What's this guy's name?
Tom Griswold
Ron.
Kristi Lee
Ron.
Guest or Additional Host
Thank you, Ron. He did look like a friendly chap.
Tom Griswold
Sure. I, I thought it was just nice just to imagine looking at the Mississippi in the summertime. You feel like Huck Finn.
Kristi Lee
Oh, miss.
Tom Griswold
What's his buddy's name?
Kristi Lee
Big money.
Guest or Additional Host
Let's go with Tom Sawyer.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. And by the way, Emma Thompson. I stumbled upon this. It's called Dead of Winter from last year. Emma Thompson's in it. She's 67 and it's kind of an action movie. She's. Yeah. I don't want to give anything of a way. It was pretty good.
Josh Arnold
The Mississippi river goes through 10 states, by the way.
Tom Griswold
Oh, good to know. Thank you very much.
Kristi Lee
But wow, man, you were wrong on both sides. On two sides. So that's 20 sides, wrong times.
Guest or Additional Host
Right, Right. It cuts them. It cleaves them.
Kristi Lee
Does it now, by the way, if I can order fried pickles, we can eat them this morning. Can I. Can I order them?
Tom Griswold
Absolutely not.
Josh Arnold
A fried pickle.
Kristi Lee
Well, it's too late now.
Tom Griswold
Got a nice letter from Rory. Great name.
Kristi Lee
Great guy named Rory.
Tom Griswold
From Marion, Indiana. Montana.
Kristi Lee
Oh, he goes, that's the original Marion from the Music Man.
Tom Griswold
He goes. It's spelled differently. It's in the northwest corner of Montana, an hour and a half west of Glacier National Park.
Josh Arnold
Beautiful country.
Tom Griswold
Doesn't it, doesn't that put a little
Guest or Additional Host
something in your head?
Kristi Lee
Be a little bit more exact.
Guest or Additional Host
Before, before you continue reading this. Will you just show them that. That piece of paper real quick.
Josh Arnold
Oh, my God.
Guest or Additional Host
So buckle up.
Kristi Lee
Oh, my Lord. Now, what does this possibly have in it that caught his eye and he feels the need to.
Guest or Additional Host
If I were a professor and a kid, a student handed me that, I'd go edit this. Yeah, before I.
Kristi Lee
Absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I, you know, I just circled a couple of interesting points. Okay, as it happened, this was a request from yesterday, which I played. And
Bob Kevoian
what are you.
Kristi Lee
Is this guy in trouble or.
Josh Arnold
Well, you played his request.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he wanted to hear the Mr. Obvious in the deck, which we, which we got.
Guest or Additional Host
Oh, good. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But no, the reason. But he, at the beginning wanted to point this out. You've been talking about how great stadium hot dogs are.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Guest or Additional Host
Which is.
Tom Griswold
Again, see, this is my.
Guest or Additional Host
I'm.
Tom Griswold
This is my version of the bicentennial minute.
Kristi Lee
You know, there's nothing better than eat a stadium hot dog. Mow the yard looking Mississippi.
Josh Arnold
There isn't.
Tom Griswold
That's my whole point. What's wrong with you commies? Why don't you guys get, get in. Get in a rowboat.
Guest or Additional Host
I enjoy.
Tom Griswold
Make your way. Make your way to Moscow and join your fellow commies.
Guest or Additional Host
I joined some Josh Arnold. Oh, did you listen to some of his standup? No, no, I ate a hot dog.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm just saying, cutting the law and looking at the Mississippi river or.
Kristi Lee
And my, my T shirt has a fat joke on it. You know, like the ones Josh Arnold makes.
Tom Griswold
Breathe in the air in Mar. In Montana. Come on, it's America. All right, but he, he, he does have a point. I, I was talking about how much I enjoyed just a good old fashioned hot dog wrapped in foil. Doing it again because I'm an American, unlike all of us, you and your mayday crew. Let's see now, there's a place in Big Fork, Montana. I'll just let that sit right there for a second.
Kristi Lee
Big, big fork. Do you hear what he's trying to do?
Guest or Additional Host
You don't think I hear that?
Tom Griswold
Josh, before you get all. Get all itchy to go there. It's the fork. It's the fork in the river.
Josh Arnold
Of course it is.
Tom Griswold
I don't think it's a shovel like
Kristi Lee
device oversized to eat. Put some food down your throat.
Josh Arnold
You're starting to show off.
Guest or Additional Host
I'd like to see you in a
Josh Arnold
river with lead shoes.
Tom Griswold
There's a place in Big Fork, Montana that has great hot dogs. This does sound good.
Kristi Lee
Tell me everything.
Tom Griswold
They deep fry them so they're crispy on the outside. I can't explain how big of a difference the deep frying makes.
Guest or Additional Host
It's wonderful, but my God, I'm gonna try.
