Jamie Lisso
You asked for it, you got it. More Bob and Tom this is Bob and Tom Extra.
Tom
Is there such a thing as an electronic life coach?
Josh
Electronic life coach.
Amy
There is some AI assistance.
Sports Announcer
Yeah.
Tom
Where someone could come over and tell me why my television set? If I leave the room for five minutes, I come back and are you still watching? It's really annoying.
Pat
I After five minutes that bothers you?
Josh
That can't be. After five minutes I might have been.
Tom
Walking the dog five hours. Point is, it just is annoying and I can't figure out how to do it.
Pat
Huh.
Tom
And I've mentioned this before and I know that There are a lot of very serious problems in the world, and this is one of the most minor. But why is the sensor on the dryer incapable of really sensing when the clothes are dry?
Josh
Boy, I agree with that one every single time. Gotta go to manual. Run it 20 more minutes.
Amy
Yeah, I figured mine out, man. I'm set.
Tom
I could put in a semi moist paper towel, come back an hour later, and it's still wet.
Josh
How'd you figure it out?
Amy
I just adjusted a couple things. Settings, and, man, now everything is perfectly dry.
Tom
Did you have an electronic consultant come over to your house and help you?
Pat
Nope.
Jamie Lisso
No.
Amy
Did it myself.
Tom
Oh, man. I'll have you over.
Pat
Just. Here's what you do. You pack up your dryer, take it over to Josh's.
Amy
Because it was a problem.
Pat
Yeah.
Tom
Okay.
Pat
You know, there's not much to a dryer other than the timer and it spins and it heats up.
Tom
That's fine. But it's. It's the problem. It's. It's turning itself off before the stuff is dry. It's just annoying.
Amy
Yeah, that was happening a lot.
Tom
And again, there are bigger problems in the world. I get it. It's just annoying.
Amy
Well, there are bigger problems, and so you want the simple things to be working.
Pat
I found that I can't get my check lint trap to go off.
Tom
Wait a minute.
Pat
Speaking of simple things, I didn't know. I wasn't saying anything. Yeah. Good timing, Jamie. Boy, oh, boy.
Tom
Jamie Lisso joins us in the studio. Just walked in.
Jamie Lisso
Rude chick.
Amy
You don't automatically check your lint trap.
Pat
No, I do.
Amy
Oh.
Pat
But even every time you start, you know, saddle up and let's dry these clothes. Check lintrap.
Tom
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, it's a little too cautious.
Pat
Yeah. So a little red light.
Tom
We're talking about laundry. Jamie, have you. Now do you have the guy come out once a year and suck out all the stuff in the pipe that goes from your lint thing to your outside of your. Do you?
Jamie Lisso
No, I don't. I didn't even know you're supposed to do that.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Jamie Lisso
It reminds me of a time I was in college and this girl goes, when's the last time you wash your sheets? And I go, you're not supposed to wash your sheets. I just didn't even know it was a thing.
Pat
Yeah, cleanliness.
Jamie Lisso
Yeah, that's my. My lint trap of college.
Tom
When I was in college, there was a guy, the first. The first day guy down the hall put a piece of. What is it called? Masking tape down the floor.
Pat
Oh, yeah.
Tom
This is my side.
Jamie Lisso
Oh, wow.
Tom
Love it. And then. And he was a heavy smoker. There were cigarette butts everywhere. The place was incredibly filthy. And after about a month, he was kicked out of college.
Pat
Did you have anything to do with.
Tom
No, I. No, it was just Dad. A total.
Amy
Can you write a letter? My roommates.
Tom
It wasn't my roommate, believe me.
Josh
Oh, I was gonna say it wasn't you.
Pat
Oh, God, you know what was you. Hang on, sport. We'll get that taken care of.
Tom
It'll be gone by Monday. But one can only. I mean, the average college sheets, especially for a guy probably don't get laundered all that often. No.
Jamie Lisso
Yeah. I used to stand mine up as my divider between me. Right, right.
Pat
That would be a very different. It Happened One Night with Claudette Colbert. If they had. The sheets were stiff instead of hanging.
Tom
Jamie Lisso are recently married. Am I getting this right? Because we talked to you in the phone not too long ago and remarried like in the last year.
Jamie Lisso
That's right. 109 days ago. My wife just. She's here, by the way. She says hi. Oh, how nice.
Pat
I wanted to ask about your marriage. Why did you get married again at. Right. Josh.
Jamie Lisso
Did anyone ask the first time?
Tom
Because she's the one.
Jamie Lisso
I feel like every time I come in here, I think to myself, if I'd come in here first, I might not have done it. Yeah, this is what happened when I moved to Alaska.
Pat
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh
We tried to talk you out of that one.
Jamie Lisso
I kind of feel like I don't want to spell. You know, I feel. Feel this about the childbirth thing. Like, you ever talk to a woman, like, moments after childbirth, they go like, I am never doing this again. This hurts so much. Like it's not where. And then like a month later, they're like, we should have two more. That's why I feel like the marriage thing is you.
Sports Announcer
You.
Jamie Lisso
You kind of get through the first tragic part of it, and then you meet. You meet the right person, but when.
Tom
They want to have two more, they want to do it without. Not you necessarily. Without.
Pat
With another guy.
Tom
Well, no. Maybe with a test tube.
Pat
It's the same. It's the same. I call it the Christmas Rule.
Josh
What's that mean?
Pat
No one would celebrate Christmas if it were. It was too close together. By the time Christmas rolls around again, you're ready to do it.
Josh
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Pat
Same thing.
Tom
Good point.
Pat
I hate Christmas. This is awful. It's too busy. Blah, blah, Blah.
Tom
That may be the most profound thing you've ever said.
Pat
Thank you, Tom.
Tom
No, no, I, I, I, that is really a wise thing to say.
Pat
Well, it's the truth.
Tom
Now, is coitus going to be involved in the birthing of the next child?
Jamie Lisso
Well, you're assuming a lot.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
She's a doctor. She knows where things go.
Tom
I know, but maybe she doesn't want that going there again. If this is going to be.
Pat
And you guys were married in Vegas. Is that, is that right?
Jamie Lisso
That's right. You guys got married in Vegas. And we're not, we're not weed smoker people at all. Which I think you can pick up on the fact that I don't even think they're called weed smoker people.
Tom
Reefer is the common.
Jamie Lisso
Yeah. And I, so I say to her, I go, do you know reefer is legal in Nevada? And she goes, I go, we should get like a little gummy. This is the night of our wedding. I go, would you want to get a little gummy? Just like try it out? And she goes, yeah. And so we buy these little tiny gummies. And I told the guy, I go, we are new at this. We have never done this before. Could you please give me the mildest thing that you have? And what I think the guy did was, I think he wasn't listening. And we're lying in bed our wedding night, and she, and we take these little things and we're feeling it and she, she leaves it with 100% true story, word for word, not making up, comedian stuff. And she goes, hey. And I go, yeah. And she goes, I got some bad news. And I go, what? And she goes, I think that I'm too high to have sex. To which I responded, I have some even worse news. And she goes, what? And I go, we just had sex. You're not going to have sex just now. 100% your story. Sometimes you have to write material. A lot of times your wife just gives you a job.
Tom
Oh, my God.
Pat
You remember events.
Tom
Jamie Lisso is our guest. Distinguished comedian. And I just, I just had some minor surgery. But what was interesting, if you ever had surgery, they give you, you walk in and they, they ask you your name and your birthday five times. I get it. You wear the wristband and everyone that comes in asks who you are and you tell them and then they draw on you where they're going to be cutting, et cetera, et cetera.
Pat
But they do the black arrow, but.
Tom
They do the pre interview, you know, what is, what is the last Thing you ate. When was it? Okay, it was little. Last night.
Jamie Lisso
The pre interview.
Tom
Yes.
Pat
You're not on a talk show.
Tom
No, it's. Well, the. What do you. The. What's his name? The consultation with the doctor. No, no, the anesthesiologist. The anesthesiologist. That's a big word. The anesthesiologist. And they go through the whole thing. They do it and twice, actually. First. First one of the nurses did it, but they ask you, do you drink alcohol? Do you smoke cigarettes? And now the new one, they ask have you taken any gummies?
Jamie Lisso
Really?
Tom
Which I thought was that. That. That's. It's come around. It's now part of the official form.
Sports Announcer
Wow.
Tom
And I imagine it's because. And then I was. I was telling the story to a somewhat, I thought, sophisticated, elegant lady of a certain age. And she went, oh, I take one every night to go to sleep.
Josh
I know tons of people that do that.
Tom
Wow. Where do you get them? She goes, he has to drive across state lines. But then she goes. Then she goes, oh, I have a guy. Do you need some.
Jamie Lisso
You guys, I swear to God, for 49 years I thought that local anesthesia meant that they got it from around here. Sort of a farm to table. 49 years.
Tom
Yeah. Yeah. I like my free. I like the free range.
Pat
Farm to table.
Jamie Lisso
I like how the doctor gave you some local anesthesia. I'm like, that's nice. He got up early. He went to a farmer's market. He's. Swear to God.
Pat
Would you think less of that lady because she did marijuana?
Tom
No, no, I was getting. I was just.
Amy
Amy still works for him.
Tom
I was really. I was really surprised.
Pat
Really.
Tom
Especially because they have to go through in this particular state, illegal channels to get it, but every night. But then that's why, obviously that there must have been enough incidents in which anesthesiologists were concern. Because if you've got whatever that is, THC or whatever it might be in the gummy in your system, you know.
Jamie Lisso
Yeah.
Tom
Things could go wrong. They want you to be pain free and wake up, wake up nice and healthy.
Jamie Lisso
I don't know if this is just me, but I have a note for all. Any anesthesia. These listening. Whenever I go to the doctor and you get like a surgery like you just had, you get a bill, right? And you go like, oh man, like three grand. That's a lot. Whatever. And you go, well, at least I paid it. And then a year later.
Amy
That's exactly right.
Jamie Lisso
The anesthesia guy sends you a bill. And I just want. Aren't they in the same office? Couldn't they jump on the same invoice? Exactly. You know what I mean? I just got one yesterday for my circumcision. That was years ago.
Tom
Yeah, you guys are. I paid that off.
Pat
Cleveland Guardians designated hitter. David Fry was. David Fry spent a night.
Tom
Now, wait a minute, J.
Josh
You're too Fry.
Tom
David Fry was the Nixon guy in the 60s, right? In the 60s.
Pat
Iconic.
Josh
What do you mean, the Nixon guy?
Tom
He was the Nixon rich little of. Yes.
Josh
Oh, he was an impersonator.
Tom
Impressionist. Whatever. He'd go, I'm Dick Nixon. You know, pregnant ladies don't take buffering. It'll kill you. Back to you.
Amy
Is it Fry? And that's really, really stupid.
Tom
But is that.
Pat
You just want them lined up out.
Jamie Lisso
The parking lot sneaking in some politics.
Amy
Is F R Y or F R Y?
Pat
It is F R Y E. Okay. Yes. And what was the name of his album he put. Put it out as Nixon.
Amy
That's all right. You know what came up? When I go. When I put in David Fry, as soon as I added the E, it said David Fry. Obituary.
Jamie Lisso
Oh, so that's.
Amy
That's sort of what we're talking.
Pat
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Oh, we got. We got an obituary in the news today. A really sad.
Jamie Lisso
There's a lot of them, bro.
Pat
And the.
Sports Announcer

Tom
Everyone's going to know him. Okay, I'll. I'll ask our guest.
Pat

Josh
You know the name Sunny Curtis.
Tom
No, no, don't do it that way.
Josh
No, that's the way to do it.
Sports Announcer
Yeah.
Amy
How would you do it?
Pat
What? You do it for Tom's memory. How important was Curtis?
Tom
I'll bet I could play.
Pat
No, no, I know who.
Tom
I know who he is, but I. I could play two songs and I bet Jamie would know exactly who we're talking about.
Pat
And I'm a weirdo about that look on his face.
Sports Announcer
He doesn't know.
Pat
I spend my off hours looking in liner notes to see who plays that instrument. So go ahead.
Tom
Okay. I can't really sing it. Can you sing it, Pat? Do you know what we're talking about?
Jamie Lisso
I do know. Yeah.
Tom
The tv. The TV theme.

He co wrote hundreds of songs recorded by artists from the Everly Brothers to Bruce Springsteen, Glenn Campbell and Johnny Cash. And was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame with the Crickets. He was in the Crickets? Buddy Holly's band.
Jamie Lisso
I used to tour those guys. Every comedy show.
Tom
Inside Comedy Joke. But very good.
Josh
See, I'm sorry, I.
Pat
Please.
Tom
That's peppy.
Pat
Stop. Well, this isn't the one. Anybody knows. Who is this?
Josh
I don't know. This is the Bland Orchestra. Is that the muzak version?
Jamie Lisso
I literally reached out to press my floor button when you played that.
Tom
You know, this is the one.
Amy
I would say one of the best shows with one of the worst theme songs.
Jamie Lisso
What genre would you say this is? Boring.
Tom
Dusty. This is revolutionary.
Jamie Lisso
I like it. Revolutionary.
Tom
This is a great. This is a great song. It's a TV show that showed that a woman can actually live alone and not have a man in charge of her life. And who knew?
Josh
Why didn't they have a woman sing the theme song?
Jamie Lisso
Yeah, you got to do that.
Sports Announcer

Tom
Congratulations. I'm glad you found the one.
Jamie Lisso
Thank you. She's the. You guys know, she's a doctor. She's been making me aware of germs, which I never thought about. I don't know if you know anybody that makes you aware of germs in the world. I've never had this happen before.
Josh
I never thought about that guy.
Jamie Lisso
Is it. Oh, really? So are you like this? So we were at the Seattle airport the other day and I was walking down this really steep flight of stairs. I was holding one big bag at a big backpack on. And to balance myself, I leaned over and I grasped the handrail, of course.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Jamie Lisso
To which my wife says, she goes, oh, my God, I can't believe you would reach over. And I go, I'm sure it has a lot of germs on there. And I go, but I'll bet, I'll bet it has less germs than my butt. And she goes, why would you say that? And I go, I'm just saying if I don't get to grab this handrail, I'm gonna fall down these stairs, break both my legs. You're my wife. You're gonna have to wipe my butt. I think what you meant to say was thank you for thinking of me.
Tom
Precisely. Absolutely. Yeah. I do that, that surfing thing on the elevator on the escalator. Because I don't want to touch the handrail.
Pat
Okay.
Tom
Yeah, it's tricky. I almost fell down recently.
Pat
You almost fall down, go boom.
Tom
Well, that one in Denver, you've got to go through that. The chicane of escalators.
Pat
There is a escalator in D.C. goes down to the Metro. I swear it's six miles long, the escalator. It's unbelievable.
Tom
I famously remember I told you about the guy that was wearing the beautiful three piece suit I famously. That had his. Had his mail member dangling.
Pat
He just referred to himself as I famously.
Tom
No, you know the story. The story about the guy was exposing himself.
Pat
Yes, I know the story.
Jamie Lisso
Where does this happen?
Tom
At an airport at the Paris Metro. Wow. And it's one of those escalators that, you know, could take you to the top of the leading tower of Pisa. It's a long one. And the guy going the other way. Packed in Paris. And this guy's got this huge dangler.
Jamie Lisso
No, no, not to defend him. What, was he getting on the D train?
Tom
Don't.
