C
Extra.
A
This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hello. Good morning. Hey. Hi. Thanks for joining us. With us in the studio, comedian Christine Stedman and comedian Ralph Harris both hanging out with us right now. Ralph and Christine should hook it up.
D
No, I'm gonna hook it up with everybody in this studio. I'm doing a new thing now. I'm a swinger, baby.
A
I'm a swanger.
B
Really?
D
Yes, indeed.
A
Now, Ralph Harris is here with us. I wish you'd have told me that before you came over the house. Ralph was recently featured in our Comedy Central special. Ralph also, of course, was last. Com standing all the way to the end there. Great job by Ralph.
D
Well, I didn't win it. No, I didn't win the big. The Big thing. Yeah, I was like the top five. I should have won. All I had to do was bust somebody in the mouth.
A
That's all it takes.
D
When I got to the big guy, I was like, okay, they can go ahead.
A
I think what you have to do is you have to make a sex tape. I think that's what happens now to get publicity in our society. Gene Simmons has the newest one out there just in time for his new series to start.
D
Yeah, I got one.
A
It's always sus.
D
I got one. Just no faces in it.
A
Oh, really?
D
Yep. I just all. All. Just all body parts. Yeah. It's not. It's not me flying around the room sometimes. It's not me.
A
Well, I. The only thing I want to comment on is with regard to that, is that at least you have become a sort of a fitness buff in the last year. That's why I made it last time you were here.
E
Yeah. You're kind of.
A
You're kind of proud of your new look now.
D
Yes, indeed. I'm getting smaller, baby. I'm getting small. I'm gonna make the Jack lalanne videotape and I'm gonna keep on going.
B
You have the six pack abs working.
A
Jack lalanne. Isn't he like a thousand years old? He's in great shape. Jack lalanne. Doesn't he do. He swims in the ocean along beach harbor every year.
D
Radishes only.
A
That causes quite a note. He doesn't care, though.
D
Oh, I know radish and asparagus stems.
A
He's juicer and fitness guy. Now let's. Christine Stedman is here with us also. Beautiful, Christine. Are you a health buff? Are you a. Are you in good shape?
E
I look like it.
A
You're a witness, your honor.
B
Wait a minute. With her defense.
A
She looks great. She didn't look great. I just. I was just curious if you implied she didn't look great. No, I asked if she worked out. Sarcastic tone. So do you work out? That's what I heard.
E
I heard that I'm smelling.
A
What? Stepping in.
E
I did make a sex tape and that hasn't done anything for my career. You're like, where can we get that?
A
Hey, next time don't do it with.
E
Ralph Ringlingbrothers dot com.
A
You'd have beautiful babies. Oh, yeah.
D
They gonna have good hair. It'd be curly and red, kind of.
A
Burgundy, kind of a maroon, kind of like carrot top.
E
Yes. I like that idea.
D
It'll look like a little hat there.
E
It.
A
You know something? I just realized something. What? You and Carrot Top both have the tattooed on eyebrows.
E
Yes, we do.
A
You mentioned that.
E
I'm going, well, he works out a lot more than me, but other than.
A
That, we both very similar.
B
Yeah, nothing like Carrot Top Christmas.
A
I didn't say she looked like him. I said she's got. She. Am I correct in saying when Carrot Top was here? Carrot Top, very funny guy. I'm a big fan. But am I correct in saying he has tattooed on eyebrows?
E
You are correct, yes.
A
Which is a little creepy. You remember what Carrot Top said? I asked him what he benched. He said all of it. Carrot Top is a. And I believe lifts weights constantly.
D
Yeah, he's.
A
He's very big in the chest. He's kind of uber fit. Let me rephrase the question. You're a woman of. You're. You're a woman approaching middle age.
E
Thank you.
A
She can see it in her rear view mirror, Bob.
C
See, it's right. It's right up on her ass.
A
Tom, they're gonna.
C
It's honking the horn. Excuse.
D
Hey, excuse me.
A
Just because it's Black History Month doesn't mean we're bringing back Amos.
D
No, no, no. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
A
Ralph, I got something for you. Here's Tom. We caught him the other day. My baby's mama.
D
That's what you got, huh? Go ahead, man.
A
As you know, Ralph, I. I absorb the so called lingo of the street.
D
You can apply for support now.
A
How sweet. What was I getting at? Her o.
E
I'm not.
A
I'm not to say. I'm not trying to say about how old she was. No, Christine.
D
Christine.
A
Right now, there would be no difference if Christine were here or Jessica Tandy.
C
You'd be asking Jessica Tandy the same questions you're asking Christine.
A
Oh, my God.
D
Go ahead.
A
Okay. I. I'm a big fan of. She is dead. Yeah.
E
You know, just because I started my comedy career in the early 1800s doesn't mean. Doesn't mean I'm that old.
A
So how other than you wouldn't ask Christine about Hume Cronin? I saw a guy using your chicken crossing the road joke at a club last week, and I said, that's Christine.
E
I used to do a joke about midwives.
D
How about these new midwives?
A
Aren't they something? Christine, I'm sorry, What? I like this. If this show can do anyone any good, which it can't, one of the things I like to emphasize is the importance of going to a quality health care professional for things like maybe the heart attack symptoms. No, I mean just rectal exam. Health issues for men and for women, breast mammograms. Mammograms. We had a guy last week talking about getting some kind of weird colon cleansing. I said, why don't you get a colonoscopy? Irrigation. Yeah. Instead of going to some quack and having someone cram herbs in your rectum, go to a real doctor. That's what I would like to advocate for people. We live in a culture where all of a sudden, real medicine is somehow. Oh, that's bad. I can go drink eye of newt. If you want a herb in your rectum, don't you go to Turkish bathhouse and ask for her. I'm sorry. He's very clean. So, Christine, let me ask you this. As a woman. As a woman, as I delicately said, approaching middle age. I thought that was rather delicate. Are you taking care of yourself?
E
You got good health. I go in for the checkups. I just went in for that routine checkup. The embarrassing one. Christy, you know, I'm talking about the one where you go in and you get all undressed and lay there with, like, a bounty paper towel on you. You know that one? I went in for that. And, boy, was I surprised when that dentist walked in. But anyway.
A
Wow. That.
E
But he had a big drill.
A
Okay, well, good. Well, good. You know those soft gums? No wonder your teeth fell out.
D
That is some cow.
E
My doctor did do a breast exam.
A
Oh, okay, good.
E
Found a great big hard lump and turns out. Well, it turns out it was my kneecap.
A
So you had him shortened? Christine Stedman. Oh, my. Christine.
E
You look much maligned.
A
I didn't mean too much. Yes, no, that one was maligning. I. We're just trying to do a public service, guys out there. You're a woman of a certain age. You know, you don't say that about Ralph. Okay, Ralph. Ralph, have you done a testicular exam recently? Gotta look for that.
D
No, they did the colon thing. No, he.
A
Did you do that. Good for you.
D
Well, wait, I did do the. The other one where they put the scope in and then the front of the back. Yeah, in the front, man.
A
The esophageal one.
D
Oh, yeah. And he holds you.
A
No, no, esophageal. I think it's lower. I think you're thinking, oh, they went in your.
D
Oh, yeah.
A
Oh, I've had that one, too, with the camera, bro. Oh, yeah.
D
And it goes.
A
It was. And it was a three camera shoot.
D
Yeah, right, right.
A
You know, when they. They had one of those old tube cameras. Man, that was. That was Painful. Did it make your.
D
This camera was attached to a car.
A
Did it make your Johnson look 10 pounds heavier?
D
I didn't even want to look at it because I didn't want to. I didn't want to have to go through the disappointment of it going away. You know, I looked down and go, that's mine.
A
Oh, my God. Oh, you got to see inside.
D
Huh? He. Well, he showed me on the screen and I was like, okay, that's.
A
Wow. Isn't that weird, though? Because I had that done. It was like going into a sports bar. Yeah, yeah. All these monitors way up, and then.
D
You see Reggie Bush's face and you.
A
Go, what is that? Going up in the air, flipping over. It's going to touch down. Yeah, yeah. I had it quite literally in an operating theater where they had the chairs and the whole thing.
D
Oh, my God. I don't want. No.
A
Oh, yeah. It was very weird. Yeah. Yeah, but they got those. They got. You mean like a sports bar?
D
Yeah, I know, right?
A
Except you're on every channel and it's the inside of your unit there.
D
Yeah, I got it done. Because, you know, they see when you get to 40, you got to do all this stuff. So I've always liked going to the doctor, but then they, you know, then they want to tell jokes and I'm like, it's not a good time for your punch lines, brother. Get your hand up out of there.
C
What you doing?
D
Well, you have a really healthy. Come on, man.
A
Christine, you remember what it was like to be 40.
C
You remember those days?
A
Barely. Barely. You know, the. They. Well, now they had electricity. Right.
D
So once you got the fire started.
A
Uh huh. Well, so I guess the message here is talk to qualified healthcare professionals. Oh, well, I read in Cosmo that if I take pepper and cram it in my. I'm sorry, Christy Lee is being awfully quiet over there. What's the matter, Christy?
B
Nothing, I'm just.
A
He's holding in the pepper. She has to douche.
D
That's right.
E
What?
A
Nothing.
E
What?
A
Hello? We have. Well, she is on the road this weekend. Hello. We've been actually talking about kind of some health issues. The importance of getting certain types of exams. Ralph's been on this sort of cleansing program, cleaning the body. Baby lost a lot of weight. You did some kind of a detox thing?
D
Water tastes a whole lot different now. Yes, it does. Water, everything. Everything tastes different.
A
Why?
D
Because when you cleanse, you can, you know, you clean off all the bad stuff.
A
Now by cleanse. What are you talking about? What did you do?
D
I did a liver cleanse. So in the meantime, you. You also.
A
You pay attention to this chick. Me and my liver are fine, thank you.
D
It changes your skin. Your skin color light. You get lighter.
A
No, it didn't. Lighter. You better. You better try. You better try it again, bro.
D
But you haven't seen my butt. I can no longer say my black.
A
Kiss my black ass. So I. I don't understand. Is this. Is this one of those enemy cleansing things?
D
No, man. I'm just a lot of. A lot of supplements that you take. You know, drink your protein shakes in the morning and then afternoon with flax meal in them and put some fruit in them. It's all good stuff.
B
I'm with you, brother.
A
I do that every day. Sounds like. Give me my kanoki detox foot pads any day.
D
Detox foot pads.
C
That's right.
A
Those work.
B
They do not work.
E
No. Are you.
A
I buy one, get one free for 1999. Are you alcohol free then during this cleansing?
D
Yeah, alcohol free. No alcohol, no coffee, no sugars. Take the sugars out. That's just tea right now.
A
But he's done. He's done with the cleansing. But you're also.
D
I'm done with it now. And I'm gonna have me some fat back sandwiches later on.
A
I see.
D
Oh, yeah. Fat back with mayonnaise and tomatoes.
A
You ever have crackling?
D
No. You know what? They try to put that in the cornbread. And I was like, what's that? Yeah, it's fat. Fat. Some fat. Yeah, right?
A
You'll find this hard to believe.
D
Skin of the pigease, and it's just the grease sticks to it. So when you put it in the cornbread, it kind of makes it moist. Keeps it moist. It's some nasty stuff.
C
Waiting at one.
D
Bite in and you go, you know, something's slowing down in my body. I could feel it.
A
And that's called cracklin. Cracklin.
D
Hog crackling.
A
Hog cracklin. I'm not familiar with it. Yeah. Oh, that sounds horrible.
D
They cook all of the pig where I'm from, baby. The whole pig. Tudor. Tudor, you'll hear this.
A
Have more hoof. Yeah, Ralph Harris. A little less anus.
D
Yeah.
A
Anus. And Andy, when I was growing up.
D
The pig feet wasn't good unless the.
A
The.
D
The. The fingernail was still on the foot. Yeah, give me the one with the nail. Oh, my God, the USDA stamp on it. Yeah, give me the one with the stamp. That's a good one. That's the one they approved.
A
Ralph Harris is. I guess Uncle Sam didn't Approve? That's the one you got. Ralph, you're from a very large family.
D
It's a lot of kids, man, and.
A
It'S a little bit confusing. I understand. Because. Can you explain why?
D
Well, you know, my mom had. My mom and dad, they got four. My dad, he just, he forgot where we lived sometimes. So he would show up at these other people's houses.
A
Uh.
D
Oh, and there was some other kids there, but it's 10 of us all together.
A
But you have a number of half brothers and sisters that you would meet. Didn't you meet some of them when they were quite old?
D
Yeah, like. No.
A
You'd go to. You'd go to parties or barbecues or whatever, and he'd go see that guy.
D
Yeah, no, exactly. He said. I said, dad, who's that kid over there that looks like me? That's your brother. Wait a minute. I just got in a fight with him. Yeah, well, that's your brother. I wanted to see how y' all would get along, so I told him to go there and smack you. No. Well, there's a lot of us. And you know what I did this year is like, I didn't do Christmas gifts this past holiday. I got the gift cards, you know, because I was watching the news and they say statistically people don't even use them, you know, so I just got a lot of those gift cards for everybody. I didn't put a balance on them though, you know, so they calling me, they're like, hey, man, you know, eight months from now they'd be like, man, what happened? That card you gave me doesn't have a. They said, don't have a balance. I was like, oh, you know what? You must have demagnetized yours or something.
A
I don't know.
D
Did you bend it? Did you put it in your pocket? You weren't supposed to put it in your pocket.
A
You put it in your right hand pocket.
D
Oh, no, that's wrong because I put like $1,000 on yours, you know? I love you.

Christine, are you keeping up with your proper exams?
E
Yes, for a mammogram, pretty soon. The last time I went, it was interesting because the place I went to, it was a little different. They did singing mammograms. Not at all what I expected. I went in, the whole staff gathered around, started singing these cute little songs about my breast. And then all of a sudden they reached down to my knees, yanked up my boobs, shoved them in a vice and crushed them like empty beer cans.
A
Party.
E
I know.
A
It's when they crush them against their forehead. Is when you got.
E
But I did. I am getting that done. And I don't know, I want to do like a lot of women, you know, a lot of women name their breasts. Did you know that?

No, the twins. See, I'd like to do that. But they have to look alike.
