Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Comedy Song: "Petroleum Jelly"

• [02:43] Bob Kevoian opens with a comedic parody song about the pain of filling up your gas tank amid high gasoline prices. The lyrics are full of playful double entendre:
  • “With the cost of gasoline / I wish they’d throw in Vaseline / Cause when I fill my tank with G / I feel this sharp pain in my ass.”
• The song transitions with jokes about free prostate exams at full service stations and comparisons to "petroleum jelly."

2. Chick Letters and Listener Mailbag

Tom’s Word Struggles & "Man Pretty"

• [04:03] Tom Griswold reads a letter from Eric, poking fun at Tom’s habit of forgetting words and improvising substitutes (ex: calling a calzone an “Italian omelet”).
  • [04:28] Tom: “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?”
• Eric conveys affection for Chick McGee (“man pretty”)—a term new to all, and met with playful banter.

Listener Realizes He's Becoming “Tom”

• [05:01] Kristi Lee reads a letter about a listener adopting Tom’s personality traits, evidenced by corny German “nine” jokes.
  • “My wife strongly disagreed and I ended with, well, I guess you have lost the remainder of your sense of humor.”

Paddington, Perception, and Parental Reactions

• [06:03] Kristi Lee: A listener’s daughter describes Tom Griswold—without knowing him—as “a cool guy,” prompting laughter:
  • “She said, ‘Tom sounds like a cool guy.’ And I started laughing really hard.”

3. License Plate Mishaps and TRD Lover

• [06:29] Tom & Josh discuss a listener’s email regarding the vanity plate “TRD LVR” (intended as Toyota Racing Development Lover). Out of context, it seems crude:
  • [06:53] Tom: “When one read the vanity plate, the mind thinks turd lover.”
  • [07:18] Kristi Lee: Suggests a TLC (Toyota Land Cruiser/Loving Care) pun for Toyota marketing.

4. Hollywood Casting and Talking Animals

Ageism in Casting: "More Chrises and Animals than Women Over 60"

• [07:31] Tom & Josh reference a study noting that big movies are more likely to feature:
  • A male lead named Chris (6/100, mostly Chris Pratt)
  • A talking animal (4 times more likely!)
  • Than a female over 60 in a leading role (only 5/100 movies)
  • [08:49] Tom: “I’d go see The Devil Wears Prada 3 if there were a talking dog in it.”
• [09:03] Tom reflects: “A lot of movies are made for kids…ergo, the talking animals.”
• Discussion touches on the plot rumors for Toy Story 5, focused on “screens versus toys” and returning cast members.

Shakespearean Food Puns and Themed Restaurants

• [09:53] Kristi Lee: Light-hearted riff on Shakespeare-inspired menu items at local eateries:
  • “You know, at Shakespeare’s, don’t they have little ham and cheese sliders? They call those hamlets.”
  • Puns escalate: “side of Macbeth and cheese,” “taming of the stew,” “Romeo and julienne fries.”
• [10:39] Kristi Lee: States her restaurant preference is good food, parking, and service.

5. Fried Pickle Fiasco

• [10:48] Kristi Lee: Shares a dining experience where she was barred from adding fried pickles to her order because the main dish had already been entered.
  • [11:46] Kristi Lee: “Here’s your almighty fried pickles.”
  • The server delivers the pickles with sarcastic energy, creating an awkward yet comical moment.
  • [12:30] Suggestion: “Did you look at her, go, ‘This is why I Doordash.’”
  • [12:36] Kristi Lee: “I gave her a sarcastic...she doesn’t know it, but she thinks I loved her. $20 tip. Sarcasm, baby!”

6. More Listener Letters: Hot Dogs, T-Shirts & Midwest Summers

• [12:47] Tom Griswold reads a letter recounting a listener’s appreciation for mowing the lawn with his “Josh Arnold T-shirt” while viewing the Mississippi River.
  • Tom paints a vivid, nostalgic picture, cheerfully exclaiming:
    • “Just imagine looking at the Mississippi in the summertime. You feel like Huck Finn.” [15:35]
  • This sparks playful debate on “how many states border the Mississippi” (Josh: 10), and leads to fat joke T-shirt commentary.
    • [15:09]: “His T shirt says I beat anorexia…Not one of my shirts at all. No, it’s just a fat joke.”

7. Letters from Big Fork, Montana & Deep Fried Hot Dogs

• [16:38] Tom Griswold: Reads a letter from Rory in Montana, describing deep-fried hot dogs.
  • [19:23] Tom: “They deep fry them so they’re crispy on the outside. I can’t explain how big of a difference the deep frying makes.”

[Kristi Lee]

well

[Tom Griswold]

give it a hand. Here's some extra.

[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.

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

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.

[Christopher]
