He's a 600-year-old vampire with a diabolically insatiable appetite for human blood and an offensive gastrointestinal ailment. He's Count Flatula. Once again, I, Count Flatula, am prowling the streets of Stenchylvania in search of fresh blood. I grow weak. I must drink from this leftover vial of blood. Oh boy, that's expired. But alas, I see another victim. Count Valatula shall sneak up on her with stealth like brows. She will not even see me coming. Woo hoo. Man, that Is stanky. That wasn't me. It must have been a stray dog. Or perhaps the wolf man. Who the hell are you anyway? I am prince of the undead. I am Count Fletula, Prince of the undead. Huh? Well, it sure do smell like something died. Did you just step on a duck? I want to suck your blood. I want to light a match. Man, that is nasty. I tire of your insolence. Perhaps you don't understand. I am a vampire. I live in a coffin. I don't know about no coffin. What I do know is I'm gagging. That's Count Flatula. If you don't want to hear him fart, just drive a stake into his heart. He'll tear the pants right off your ass. Then he'll say it's a Gus. Count Flatula. Count Flatula. He only comes out night. Tuesday night. That is at 8, right after an all new law and order SPD only on the Bob and Tom television network. A great way to get your morning started. This is Bob and Tom Extra. Tom. As I live and breathe, we have a comedy legend, Bob and Tom, comedy legend in the studio. My top ten live shows of all time includes this guy, Mr. Jimmy Pardo, comedian. Hey, Jimmy, how are you? Good morning. Every time I come, that number seems to go higher. It used to be top three, then it was top five. Now it's top 10. How many? First of all, I know you don't go out to a lot of shows. So how do I just keep. I've only been to nine. Yeah. How do I keep then? How am I top? I keep getting bumped down. It's hurtful. Every time I come here. Yeah, I'm gonna go see my friends. Top 25 shows. He's in my top 10. 32 shows. That's very specific. Jimmy Pardo was our guest. Mr. Pardo, how's your life going? Everything cool? Everything's co. Cool. So everything good I got. You guys were. Before we got on there, you were talking about the. The hot rock and roll band Rush reuniting. Yeah, yeah. I got my ticket and at one point I was 48, 000 in line. You know how they give you that little. Oh, yeah. How many tickets people before you? 48, 000 people were before me. Whoa. And I waited it out. Josh got my seat. That's it. No humor. I'm just letting you know I got my ticket. I'm glad you got. I'm bragging. That's really just my way of which show. Boy, you got great seats, didn't you? Well, you know what? When there's 48, 000 ahead of you, it's show in St. Louis. Come on out. There's 48,000 seats available. Plenty of seats available in St. Louis. I don't even know if that's true. I could be sold out in all these. I'm not. I've started doing these midweek shows because I can't stand doing shows for drunkards on the weekends. I do Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursdays. And I was like, I love that. I'm home on the weekend. I don't have to do anything, you know, else is. Everybody's home during the week. Nobody wants to come out to see comedy during the week. So this. This was an error, Josh. This. This midweek has been just a disaster. But you tried it. I'm not doing Saturdays there. I'm busy. I gotta go see Rush. I got a decent seat. I ended up getting a decent seat. Are you going by yourself? I like. I go to all the shows alone. My son is now off at college, so I don't have my concert buddy, and my wife can't stand classic rock, so I go by myself. And. And then I. I don't want to go with anybody that I. I got to worry if they're having a good time. I go alone and I show up when I want to, I leave when I want to, and I don't have to worry if the person next to me is like, I hope they're enjoying. That's great. Subdivisions. I couldn't agree more. And I was mentioning the fact that the Rush tends to have a largely male audience. Yeah, you want to know what a bigger one. Michael Shanker. Go see Michael Shanker. You won't see a woman for miles. Or go see Liza Minnelli. Well, sir, that's hurtful. Josh, fun fact, and you pick any number between one and 50. How many times is James R. Parto Jr. Seen Liza Minnelli in concert? Oh, six. Twice. I say. Well, that's fun. That Fun ended at 6. All right. Nobody's ever been spot on before. Well, that's. That was disappointing. What a let down that lottery. Give us a call. 591-Rock-501 Road. Let us know if Josh is right or wrong. God bless it. I love your T shirt, by the way. I'm a big Jesus Christ Superstar fan. Thank you. I just saw a superstar at the Hollywood Bowl. Did you? With Cynthia Erivo played Jesus and Adam Lambert played Judas. Okay. Oh, that didn't cause controversy? Well, luckily it was Los Angeles. Josh. So. Yeah, true. Yeah. Yeah. There were still some people that were confused. Well, that. But that's a lady. That's a lady. Why is a lady playing Jesus? Why is the gay man playing Judas? What's happening? I don't know if I can leave my trailer. Yeah. It was wonderful. They're very. It was amazing. It's my second favorite musical. I love it. I love it, too. Oh, my God. I love it. Absolutely love it. And what's your favorite? Neely, man. Who? Ted Neely. Great. Ted Neely. Who's my height. Is he. He's a tiny man. Jesus, Ted Neely. Didn't he play the original Broadway production? And isn't he still doing it? Yeah, he's not doing it. He tours and does the sing alongs. When they showed the movie at the. Oh, and that. That's where I met him. I just recently met Ted Neely. Oh, cool. And. And I insisted. We went back to back because I got to see how tall he was. And so he's. He comes in at 5, 4. Oh, he's a tiny man. You don't think he shrunk over the years? He may. Well, we all get shorter as we get older. And, you know, I think technically he's a. Like a. He's got a Dorian Gray situation going on. He's been alive forever, 150 years. Tom, do you think Ted Neely's a vampire? Tell me your thoughts. Who did we see doing? We saw Sebastian Bach. Oh, God. Sebastian Bach, the rock star. We all ended up at that together. Who did he. Oh, yeah, that's right. Peter was. Yeah, Bob's brother was in it. He was Judas. He was amazing. Oh, I imagine he was great. And you're telling me that Sebastian did not do a good job in the lead role of Jesus Christ? I was in the audience and I said, I hope they crucifies him. They crucify him before the immune remission so I can go home. And Tom meant to say that in a hush tone, but he didn't. Everyone around us heard him. Yeah. And we all laughed. It was a good line. It's a good line. Sebastian's a bad. You know, bad is a good guy. No, I have a question. Yeah, this is a two parter. Part one. Okay. Part one. Yes or no? Did you buy that shirt at that production? No, I did not. Bought it on cheappublic.com. use promo code. Pardo question two, by the way. I don't know if that's accurate. Did you wear that to the show? Yeah, that Part I did do. Yeah. Okay. I bought the shirt for. To wear there. I. I like to. I. I know that some. Some Jeremy Piven movie said, don't wear the band's shirt show. Where else would you wear it? I know. I don't agree with it at all. You're exactly right. You can't wear your, you know, I don't know, Def Leppard shirts. The Def Leppard show. Then wear Josh. Yeah. Flipper shirt. Have both sleeves. What do you think? Just the one. Okay. That's all you need. Somebody wrote online the other day, if you're. If you play air drums with both hands to Def Leppard, you're a jerk. You just throw it in the face. Yeah. Right. It's rude. These are all good points. Okay. We were talking about the wearing a T shirt to the shirt to. To the. To the show. Is that cool or not? And I rarely do it, but I think it's completely acceptable. I think it's. Accept. I think. Yeah, of course it is. Yeah. I repeat, within. Where else? Yeah. I don't do it because I don't have a lot of rock. You see people. Well, I understand that. Yes. Outside going shopping. Yes. Anywhere else. But when you. If somebody's making fun of you, like, what do you do with your Scorpion shirt under the Scorpion show? I'm. I'm seeing the Scorpion. Yeah. I don't know. I bought a shirt in 87. I want to have a reason to put it on, you know? Right. The concerts are good. Yeah. And the movie that it's from is pcu. Yeah. Right. What is that? What is that about? It was kind of a backlash against then the new politically correct. So it was like PCU was. It was about, like, these guys who were tired of. It was about two hours long is what it was. Maybe two hours too long. Yeah. But that's. That's where the whole thing of don't be that guy. Right. Wearing the band shirt to their concert movie. So I want to pivot to be crucified halfway through. I wanted that. Calling him. See what I did? Yeah, I know. He's. He's not a good guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you like the way I clean that up? That was nice. Real smooth. Real smooth. Do you. Does it. Because you are. You have a great podcast. You've been doing it for a long time. Almost 20 years now. Coming about 20 years. But the rules there are different than the rules on radio. So do you have to kind of. Oh, he cusses like a sailor on the podcast. You have to like when you walk in here. Okay. I'm not. This isn't the podcast. I gotta be careful. I'm a professional. I had to handle myself out in the real world. You should have been here two weeks ago. Somebody get a little filthy? Somebody around their mouth. Oh, yeah. On the. On the program. Yeah. No. And then we say thank you for your time and we send him packing. Right? Oh, yeah. Is he done? You cut him loose there or do you let him give him another segment? We voted. But Tom lately has not been kicking out people when he should. Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? Is this one of those situations? Not at all. You know what he did once? This was a six months ago or so, but a half, maybe a year. We had a guest in here who was bathed in cologne. It was an obnoxious amount. We have a rule. No cologne in here. I have an allergy. Tom doesn't care for it. This guy Tom, let him sit in here. I left you. I had. Yeah. A cast member of the show left. A regular. Yes. Five days a week. So we could have this stranger sitting here. And you can see that show. It's in our top three. We have it. People loved it. It was huge. And Tom had the nerve after the show. Oh, you're still here. I thought. I thought you had to go home for some reason. I would have had just lied to my face. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now he knew exactly what was going on. He lies a lot. I knew where I stood. We all know he. To make that guy leave. But at least from then on, I knew where I. Do you lie a lot because you just take for granted that we all know you're lying or you think you're getting away with it or a scenario. What. What's going on in your head when you lie? I'm getting away with it. You're getting away with it. He lies to himself. All right. That's top one. Why you left the room that day is beyond me. The magic that you bring. Let me ask a question. Does anybody I know? You guys are all, you know, your friends, you get along well. Let's not get away. You're. You're. You work. You work together. There you go. And you're. But you seem to be very honest with you. Nobody's told Tom about the sideburns. That hasn't come up at all. He loves the chops. Haven't come up at all. He cherish his sideburns. It's the one thing he has. He's. He's obsessed with the hair on men. He. So we let him have the sideburns. We don't. I'm not saying I just like him. I'm just curious if it's a conversation. They're full, William. Counselor, you know that. I don't know what that means. Okay, but I sounded offensive. He was the defense attorney for the Chicago 7. We're going way back. And he does pronounce it consular. And if you pronounce. Of course he does. He made a real. He would always say if someone pronounced it William Kunstler, he'd make a real big deal. No, it's counselor, so. Which I always found mildly amusing. Talk about your sideburn. What year did. In your growth as a human being, did the pubes kick in? Well, I just recently bought those Kardashian panties, so that. So I just got them, I don't know, a week ago for the first time. When did I get the pubes? You're asking. That's a great question. I got them real late. Let's say. I don't want to get 15, 14. Oh, yeah. And not Tom. When did you get a good weight. Senior in high school. So you're. You're. You're Kendall down there until. Well, yeah. Yeah. Now, I cherish each one similarly with the sideburns. I gotta. You gotta go with them. Let me ask you a question. It's a follow up on pubes. What. What age were you when you first got crabs? What do you think of that question? Oh, wait a minute. I can tell you. Oh, no, he. He's the only one in the room. Oh, is that true? Sexually transmitted disease. Yeah. But he went to school in. In New York City. Yeah. So. Oh, I got him on the subway. God knows how he got into an Ivy League school, but he did. Oh, his dad went there. Yes. Now let's. That's sad. Let's move forward here once again, our guest in the studio, Mr. Jimmy Pardo. Hello. Hey, let me ask you a question. We're all friends here. At least we work together. Where would you guys. If you're. If you're going. Let's pretend you're going to a rental car place, right? Put yourself there. Put yourself there at a place that maybe after a fort down in Texas, all right? And they tell you, you could pick any mid size you want, or you could pick any full size. You pick, whatever, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Where would you put the Nissan Sentra? Where would you guys rank the Nissan Sentra? As far as. Would it be a compact? Yeah. Would it be Would it be a entry level? Certainly. Somewhere between a compact and a mid size. Yeah. You think it's between that? I don't think it's a full mid size. You do think it's a mid size. I think they will tell you it's a mid size. All right. And then anybody. Josh, Pat, I insist you had you stay out of this. I don't even know what one looks like. So they got four wheels. I figured that metal. But I'm not a car guy so I can't tell. All right. They're a small sedan. I'll look it up. I was like, josh, I don't know. You don't know either. What do you. What it was. They. They call it a mid size and I. I refuse to believe it. I think it's a compact. I think it's a compact. I'm. I got in it and I was like, hey, it's a. It's only got 2, 000 miles on it. So it's brand new and that's why I chose it in the mid sized lane and. But as I'm driving I'm like there's. There's no way this is a mid size. Not a bad looking car. No, it's not. Well, not buying it, Josh. I'm just gonna zip around in it for a few days. I don't know. If you ever go to Cincinnati, St. Louis, that arch is going to go Centra Ultima. Is it the Ultima after? Yeah, I think. But I guess the Ultra is sedan. Yeah. Okay. Right. The Ultima rather. Yeah, Yeah. I. I would not. I would think this was a smaller car. It's a compact. Is anybody from this company listening to Give Me a Rebate, comedian Jimmy Pardo and ladies and gentlemen, a little bit of a Marillion. You remember this band? We were talking about Marillion a few minutes ago. I'm unfamiliar. This is the big hit, right? Yeah. Ye. I like it. Isn't that great? Very good. Long intro. Tom hates it. I love. This is a good song. We played. We played this a lot. Get to the lyrics. Come on, bud. You have nothing to say? We got the studio. How about now? There we go. Yeah. And you have a Marillion T shirt. I've got three Marillion T shirts. Three? Sure. I've got the misplaced childhood one. I got just the. I got the original logo. The new logo. How many classic rock T shirts do you have? More than my wife would like me to have in the house. I've got. I Don't know. Dig this. I put them in my drawer alphabetically. Oh, okay. I fold them and then in the. That way that. What's that woman's name? Marie Kondo. Yes. I fold my shirts the way she recommends. What do you got, AC DC there? When you open it up, I believe Alba comes up first. Okay. All right. I was gonna say ocdc. Hey, that's hurtful. And my neuroses. That's amazing. And I start. Yeah, start. Did I go this way? Then the other day, one was out of place and I got rattled. What is bad finger doing after Def Leppard? I think my wife. I think my. Maybe one of my shirts got in with her laundry. We do separate laundries, and I think one got in and she kindly folded it and put it away. But she doesn't know. She knows I'm nuts. I don't think she knows I'm alphabetized my shirt nuts. Until now. She doesn't listen. What am I talking about? That's a. That's a new level of nuts. But. No, but then I think it makes sense, doesn't it? You know where they're at? Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, where's my Thompson twins? Right? The tease. Yes, of course. Why don't you put them on hangers then so you can just look? Because then you get those little nibby Dobs. Yeah, he's right. On the. On the. Near the shoulder. I don't like that. Now, off the air, you guys were talking about the band Talk Talk. Yes. And that they have a song called Talk Talk. Yeah. All you do to me is Talk Talk. Like one of the most famous ones where the band is the same as the song. What's your favorite favorite? A Bad Company by Bad Company. I don't know that this counts. My favorite would be if you're going to allow it. Okay. Big Country. I don't think it should be allowed, but I love that song. How about the Monkeys theme? Hey, hey, where the monkey. I think that's a theme song. I don't think that's. I think Bad Company. Night Ranger has one. Night Ranger. Night Ranger Talk. Iron Maiden's got one. Black Sabbath has a song called Black Sabbath. Right? Bo Diddley. What? Yeah. Is that. Isn't that just called Bo Diddley? I don't know. Okay, well, yeah. In any event, it's time to move on. Jimmy Parker. I guess we put a nice. We just started. I can't think of any more. I. What's your most obscure rock or musical T shirt? Do you think? Oh, like Saga. I do have a saga shirt. Nice. I've got a Saga World departure. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, boy. So I guess that'd be the. There you go. Wow. I. Maybe I. I would say Marillion gets the most of Cassaga. At least like that on the loose. Got a lot of mtv. You have a Segger and Evans. You got Segger and Evans? I. I don't. No. No. Yeah, you wouldn't. Born. What about the year 25? 25. Yeah. What about that? Buckner and Garcia. Sure. I got Pac man fever. Y not. That's right. Now did you purchase all these. All these T shirts while at these now classic rock concerts? Most of them are from T. Public or someplace. I gotta look. I. I need to get some of these. Like Jump in the saddle. Is that Curly Shuffle Guys. But no, just Jump in the saddle. Nothing. No mention of Curly Shuffle. You don't want to do that. I'm. I'm walking you through that. Do you have any shirts that you bought at a concert? I do. Sure. From the 70s and 80s and all that. Yeah. What do you think you're oldest this concert shirt would be? Oh, it's got to be Chicago from 81. Okay. I have Chicago. When I bought it originally at Chicago Fest in 1981. You could probably sell that for a lot of money. Yeah, it doesn't fit. It just really takes up places in the seas. See? There you go. Yeah, but do I want to sell it? I mean, the answer is yes. I gotta get rid of these things. But no. Have you seen the quilts people make? Yeah, those are cool. Yeah. Are they? Kinda. I kind of think they are. Okay. You got. You know what? I'm not gonna lie. The two of you just talked me into it because I thought it was kind of sad and pathetic. No, it's cool. But now wait. All right. I'm on board. You can take all those shirts and then. No, no, no, no, you don't. But I can't. They don't. Integrity. The 81 shirt does not fit. 2025, Jimmy. This is what you people do though. You. Somebody comes in here and they give you. Here's what I. And then you try to make it better. And he's fine the way he is. Don't try to make a quilt. Oh, he's gonna throw him away. Don't throw him away. Nobody said throw him away. Say that. That was voices that no one else does. You need to. He said I got to get rid of them. He just said that. He plainly said he was going to throw them in the yard and light them on fire. You know what? Fairness. That is what I sent you now, so maybe you're not sure. Now, what's the. Is the. The first shirt obviously begins with an A. It is what? Aerosmith. I would say Abba is the first shirt. Okay, and then what's the last one? Do you have a zebra? I don't have a zebra shirt. But who's behind the door? God. I would say the last would be to use W. Oh, yeah. Oh, why? For. Yes. Probably a Yes. 90210 shirt. Oh, there's a Wham in there. You don't have an infamy Malmsteen. I don't Debbie in the M's, though. You don't have a zz. Oh, you do. I don't have a CZ Top. I'm not a. I'm not a huge ZZ Top guy. Okay, wait a minute. Ying Vang. Why would he be in the last name? He's right, you know, last name, first for the. Well, yeah, that's how you. How do you alphabetize, you nut? Tom Jones is in the Jays, My man. Yeah, he is right. He's right. Nope. You alphabetize by first name. When you. When you do your albums, you put the. You would put the Tom Jones and the T's, not the J. Yeah, because it's a title. He's not a title. That's a name. He's an author. No, he's a person. Right. What. What record stores do you shop at? You. You go run record stores and everything's wrong in here. Perry Manilows in the M's section over changes. What are you doing? Why isn't Barry and the Bees. What are you doing?

Date: November 18, 2025 | Guest: Jimmy Pardo
This "Extra" episode of The BOB & TOM Show features veteran comedian and "Never Not Funny" podcast host Jimmy Pardo in studio. The hosts and Pardo riff on topics from the struggles of concert ticket-buying and comedy on the road, to the etiquette of wearing band T-shirts, classic rock geekery, and odd personal habits. The episode blends witty banter, music nerdery, behind-the-scenes radio shop talk, and Pardo’s signature quick retorts.
“At one point I was 48,000 in line...I waited it out. Josh got my seat. That’s it. No humor, I’m just letting you know I got my ticket. I’m bragging.”
—Jimmy Pardo (08:17)
“My son is now off at college, so I don't have my concert buddy, and my wife can't stand classic rock, so I go by myself...I don’t have to worry if the person next to me is like, I hope they’re enjoying.”
—Jimmy Pardo (10:10)
“Some Jeremy Piven movie said don’t wear the band’s shirt to their show. Where else would you wear it?”
—Jimmy Pardo (18:20)
“I fold my shirts...alphabetically. That way, when you open it up, I believe ABBA comes up first.”
—Jimmy Pardo (28:10)
“What's Badfinger doing after Def Leppard? I think my wife...folded it and put it away. But she doesn’t know I’m alphabetized-my-shirt nuts. Until now.”
—Jimmy Pardo (28:45)
“In fairness, that is what I said just now, so maybe you’re not sure.”
—Jimmy Pardo, on being accused of wanting to throw away his shirts (36:10)
The show is loose, irreverent, and hyper-referential, full of quick-witted in-jokes and classic rock knowledge. Pardo is self-deprecating and fast, with the cast playing off his quirks. There’s a cozy, long-running camaraderie, with light ribbing and extended bit-building that feel like seasoned friends hanging out and riffing with mutual affection.
This episode is a must for fans of music geekery, awkward personal confessions, and classic Bob and Tom improv riffing—with the added bonus of Jimmy Pardo’s quick-fire, obsessive humor. Whether dissecting concert culture, the fate of old T-shirts, or how to properly alphabetize one’s wardrobe, the crew brings infectious fun and comedic insight.
