Bob Kevoian
In southern Ohio, just north of Cincinnati. I beheld a vision. Next to the ExpressWay was a 60 foot Jesus with his hands in the air. Look like he's carved out of butter. Just like at the state fair. Big butter Jesus. Sweet cream Jesus. Old country fresh Jesus. Unsalted Jesus. Old promise Jesus, Imperial Jesus. Can't believe it's not Jesus. Oh, spread the word.
Chad Daniels
We know what you need. Here's another healthy dose of Bob and Tom extra.
Chick McGee
I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. What are you snickering at?
Tom Griswold
I just was. This letter is really funny.
Chad Daniels
Oh.
Kristi Lee
Are you able to share it on the.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
We were talking yesterday to Jimmy Pardo. Great comedian, so fun. We were talking about concert T shirts. And he's a huge music fan and has dozens of classic rock T shirts. And interestingly enough, he keeps them folded in alphabetical order.
1-800-Flowers Announcer
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And he was saying he at one point had considered. I guess maybe this was. Was this your idea? Someone said turn them into a quilt. A quilt?
Chick McGee
Oh, do you. Do you have that letter? Is that what you're talking about.
Tom Griswold
I don't have it handy. But we'll get to that tomorrow. Someone's.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
I mean. Because I want to show the picture. Someone made a quilt out of theirs. It is pretty cool.
Kristi Lee
Cool. Yeah. I've seen it online and I think it is cool.
Josh Arnold
I've had a skirt made with that before.
1-800-Flowers Announcer
Oh.
Tom Griswold
And you know. And some of them are actually quite valuable. This. This one. Oh, there we go. Okay. That's. Do you have that letter?
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show. This is from Kyle. Heard your segment with Pardo about old band shirts. Years ago my mom made this quilt out of my old shirts. They run the gamut from 80s hair glam bands like Def Leppard to brutal death metal bands like Necrophagist.
Kristi Lee
Oh boy.
Chick McGee
And Hate Eternal. I think Josh will appreciate the Pantera and Slayer shirts.
Tom Griswold
That really is cool.
Chick McGee
Love the show. That's Kyle from Boise.
Tom Griswold
But a lot of those shirts are actually quite valuable. Oh if the original ones Ben. And obviously right now with Urban Outfitters. They're everywhere.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Tom Griswold
Kids are wearing Nirvana. We've talked about that ad nauseam. My fault. As a substitute teacher, I see a lot of band T shirts. One of my Students wore a 1971 Elton John concert tour T shirt.
Kristi Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
Huh.
Kristi Lee
Not knowing that they were probably wearing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Quite expensive.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. On the back all the venues where the concert appeared, including Wichita, Kansas. I was at that concert. Huh. From. This is from a Chuck in Goddard, Kansas. Then he's P.S. everything hurts. Man of a certain.
Chick McGee
Remember that, Pat? When Elton John would go on concert and play good songs. Remember that?
Kristi Lee
Oh, I do. 71 was a great year. I saw him at Wildwood.
Chick McGee
I saw him at 75 at Richfield Coliseum.
Tom Griswold
I some years ago. He was great. And in any event do you.
Kristi Lee
I was listening to the love tonight. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road this morning. It was on brilliant album on the way in and I realized I do not know what he is saying. After he declares I'm going back to my plow. And he says back to. Back to the howling of town in the woods.
Tom Griswold
Yes, yes.
Kristi Lee
Something out in the woods.
Chick McGee
Howling Dog, I think. Is that how.
Kristi Lee
Back to the howling dog out in the woods.
Josh Arnold
That makes sense.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah. That works.
Josh Arnold
That works.
Kristi Lee
And then hunting the horny back toe Hunting.
Chick McGee
Started. Honestly for me. It started falling apart with the song Yellow Brick Road.
Kristi Lee
I don't like Yellowbrook Road.
Tom Griswold
That's a great.
Kristi Lee
Calm down. I think exactly where it falls apart.
Chick McGee
That's great.
Kristi Lee
When the guy says hey, I'm not a present for Your friends to open.
Chick McGee
Too young to be singing the blue.
Kristi Lee
No, no, not good. Oh, I think it's quite good.
Chick McGee
So goodbye yellow brick road where the dogs of society. How. And by the way, one of favorite tribute bands, Elton John tribute the Dogs of Society.
Kristi Lee
I think it's pretty good.
Tom Griswold
They're good.
Chick McGee
Real, real dumb.
Tom Griswold
So what is.
Chick McGee
What is the lyric back to the whole. Back to the howling old owls. Oh, hunting the horny back toad. Oh, it's a little story.
Kristi Lee
So it really is hunting the horny back toad.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Josh Arnold
Owls are hunting the horny back.
Chick McGee
I finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road.
Kristi Lee
Okay. So he says, hey, I tried it. I came from this rural area.
Josh Arnold
I want to go back.
Kristi Lee
I. I'm kind of tired of being on exhibit here. It's not for me. You don't do then what a good story.
Chick McGee
I'll bet they'll shoot down the plane. It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics on your feet again. For a.
Tom Griswold
For a song you guys hate, you sure know the lyrics.
Kristi Lee
I'm so sorry.
Chick McGee
He says, hey, I didn't know no better.
Kristi Lee
He says, vodka and tonic. I've been singing Acurin tablet and my whole life I've gone, oh, I need to look up what Acurin was like if it was some sort of downer or upper.
Tom Griswold
Topics. We all do that. You make up the.
Chad Daniels
Of course sees you as something more than sexy.
Kristi Lee
I defy you now to listen to that song and not hear Acurin tablets.
Josh Arnold
I want Kratonics.
Tom Griswold
What would Acurin. Acurin would be. Would that be one of those memory aiding. Yes.
Kristi Lee
I just assumed it was some drug.
Tom Griswold
Scams out there for, you know, I couldn't remember my own name to like.
Chick McGee
Are you tired of trying to get.
Chad Daniels
Are you tired of trying to get.
Chick McGee
Up in the morning? Hi, I'm Mason Adams.

Chick McGee
You need an accurate tablet.
Kristi Lee
If I had googled accurate tablets, do you think it would have said. Do you mean vodka and my dad.
Chick McGee
Get you up in the morning and headache relief and just a touch of meth accurate.
Tom Griswold
Now we're gonna head over that way. That is the Silac insurance news desk with Christy wearing two different new Bob and Tom sweatshirts. Those are really nice.
Kristi Lee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
Oh hell. And we got to. Where do you. Where does one get those?
Josh Arnold
You can't get them anymore.
Kristi Lee
They're not available. They're a pop up shop. You know, I feel like you have been told that numerous times.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah. You've been told that you gotta write that down.
Tom Griswold
I'll explain how radio works later.
Kristi Lee
What do you mean? You'll explain how radio works? Right effing now. If you're gonna pull that.
Chick McGee
I'm tired of hearing about it. You explain it right now.
Kristi Lee
How does radio work? You having something incorrect?
Josh Arnold
We're all listening.
Chad Daniels
This isn't a joke.
Kristi Lee
You have to teach us.
Chick McGee
I want to know.
Tom Griswold
I really like those. We should reissue them.
Josh Arnold
Okay, let's get.
Tom Griswold
I asked you for some news.
Kristi Lee
I don't know what you're doing.
Josh Arnold
Hey, there's a new study out there that reveals which types of cars attract the most bird droppings.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Josh Arnold
If you're in the market to buy a new car, listen up.
Chick McGee
I've heard birds hate Buicks. That's what I heard. That's what.
Josh Arnold
Well, actually, we're going to start with the color. What color do you think birds like the most?
Chick McGee
White. I'm going to go white.
Kristi Lee
That would have been my guess. That would have been black.
Josh Arnold
Brown cars are the most likely to get pooped on.
1-800-Flowers Announcer
Really?
Josh Arnold
But you got to hunt out a brown car.
Kristi Lee
UPS trucks are just color.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're originally white. That's what happens.
Chick McGee
And I've heard that birds can't control when they defecate.
Tom Griswold
Hmm. It just.
Chick McGee
That's how. That's why it happens that way.
Chad Daniels
It just happens.
Chick McGee
They can't. They have no control.
Kristi Lee
Wait, wait, wait a second. Did a bird tell you this?
Chick McGee
Maybe an embarrassed bird.
Josh Arnold
Was it the dodo?
Chick McGee
Might have been the dodo.
Kristi Lee
Dodo bird.
Tom Griswold
Do they sell. Since nobody gets newspapers anymore, do they sell like papers to put at the bottom of your parrot's cage?
Josh Arnold
Oh, I'm sure they do.
Tom Griswold
Throw an iPad down.
Kristi Lee
Ah, the digital age.
Chick McGee
Welcome. Welcome to Hackies. Are you ready for your headliner? Here's Tom Griswold.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I wonder what you do. Use mail.
Tom Griswold
I'm just asking. It's a fair question.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, you could use those Flyers. Followed by red and black vehicles.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Josh Arnold
Ram trucks top the list. Is the most frequently targeted by bird droppings.
Kristi Lee
Interesting.
Tom Griswold
How do they know this?
Josh Arnold
See, that's what I want to know.
Kristi Lee
I know Ram trucks ride my ass more than any vehicle on the road.
Tom Griswold
I would agree with that.
Josh Arnold
And they're pretty loud.
Tom Griswold
Very aggressive.
Josh Arnold
Followed by Jeep, Chevrolet, Nissans and dodges. More than 1 in 10 drivers report actual paint damage caused by bird droppings.
Kristi Lee
I'd heard that. It can eat away.
Tom Griswold
Go to the car wash. Don't park under a tree. That might help.
Josh Arnold
Close to one third of Americans surveyed Feel like birds have personally singled out their vehicle for attack. You know I said that from parking right here.
Tom Griswold
I know I park under the tree.
Chick McGee
But you know that the good news about that tree, it's dying. Did you see that? It's not going to be that long.
Tom Griswold
It's just fall.
Chick McGee
No, no, no. Wait a minute.
Kristi Lee
Are you gonna take that spider?
Chick McGee
Hang on a second. Hang on a second. I got out and I looked up and I said, boy, those leaves are falling off. I bet that tree's dying.
1-800-Flowers Announcer
Maybe.
Chick McGee
Maybe you're right.
Josh Arnold
Might be the drought.
Chick McGee
I understand correctly, by the way.
Tom Griswold
If you're serious, people say that it was dry.
Chick McGee
It died before that. Smart ass.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm a big tree fan. Did people say that that bird poop is damaging their, their paint? Oh, I, I'm somewhat skeptical. But now if it's denting your car, that means you live in an area full of pterodactyls.
Josh Arnold
15% said they've been pooped on while getting in or out of their vehicle.
Kristi Lee
Oh, that's funny. Always funny when somebody gets pooped on.
Josh Arnold
No.
Kristi Lee
Unless it's people pooping on people, then that's just hot.
Chick McGee
I don't think I've ever been hit by a bird.
Josh Arnold
Crap, I don't think I have either.
Kristi Lee
My mom did once when we were all sitting on the deck and we all just doubled over in her hair, right on her arm. She was holding like Bartles and James and just blap, blop, blop. Looked like suntan lotion. Just kind of. Man, we howled.
Tom Griswold
What's. What's the. What's the truck flap with the guy peeing on it?
Kristi Lee
Oh, well, Calvin and Hobbs.
Chick McGee
That.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. What was he. What is he peeing on?
Kristi Lee
He's peeing on whatever brand.
Josh Arnold
You don't have a Ford. It's a Chevy. If it.
Tom Griswold
They go both ways.
Chick McGee
They have a red Washington one for pissing on Cowboys logo, stuff like that.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. Are those licensed?
Chick McGee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
Oh, wow.
Chick McGee
Waterson's making some cash now.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, we're going to talk with comedian Chad Daniels in a matter of moments.
Chick McGee
Know, I noticed that tree was dying.
Kristi Lee
Oh, no.
Chick McGee
Tom says, you know it's fall.
Tom Griswold
We're going to, I believe, go via satellite to wherever Chad Daniels happens to be. There he is. I can see him. Comedian Chad Daniels, apparently in his kitchen. Where are you, Chad?
Chad Daniels
I'm in a buddy's lake cabin.
Kristi Lee
Oh, very cool. What lake?
Chad Daniels
Cedar Lake, I believe it's called.
Kristi Lee
Oh, sure, sure.
Chick McGee
Oh, wow.
Chad Daniels
Thank you for welcoming me with that big Minnesota welcome.
Tom Griswold
Is a Cedar lake in Minnesota?
Chad Daniels
It is not. It is in the great state of Indiana.
Chick McGee
Really? Yeah.
Chad Daniels
And way, way up, I think. I don't really know where I am. I. I flew. I took two flights and an hour drive. And then when I went to get groceries, I was in Michigan, so I'm not exactly sure where I'm at.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no, not by groceries. Do you mean pot?
Chick McGee
What?
Chad Daniels
Yes, groceries.
Tom Griswold
Well, I guess we should explain that the legal marijuana exists in the state of Michigan and in Illinois.
Chick McGee
And so if you live in Indiana, the only reason to go to Michigan is to get pot. And you just heard he went to get groceries.
Kristi Lee
But we know Chad, and I don't think we've known him to be much.
Chick McGee
Of a pot guy or He's.
Kristi Lee
He's said a story's dabbled, but, you know, I'm.
Chad Daniels
I'm the most boring human being that's ever lived. I. I don't do any of that stuff. I quit drinking a year and a half ago, and I'm just not fun. I. All right, it's true. I. I used to, like, sometimes when I order water from a server at a restaurant, I want to tell them, hey, just so you know, though, I did party hard at one time. Yeah, don't judge me. It's embarrassing to order water. And. And, you know, people go like, hey, how's it going? Not drinking. And I only really miss it when I'm doing stuff. It's kind of the only time I miss it is when stuff is happening. And my girlfriend Kelsey, she'll say like, hey, well, you're gonna live longer. It's like, awesome. More of this.
Kristi Lee
Great.
Chad Daniels
Why don't we go give caffeine to a homeless guy? He likes that now.
Tom Griswold
Have you quit everything? I mean, you don't smoke, you don't do drugs.
Chad Daniels
Yeah, I've never really. I've never really done that stuff. I've taken, you know, I'll take an edible every once every six months to watch a movie. But I gotta tell you, here's what's weird. I just like, I like my reality and so. And I like sleeping, so that's what I do.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. What about caffeine? You. Are you drinking coffee? And.
Chad Daniels
Oh, I'm drinking so much coffee, I'm freaking out.
Tom Griswold
Very nice. We're speaking with comedian Chad Daniels, and Chad is once again at. What's it called? Corkscrew Lake. What was it again?
Kristi Lee
Cedar.
Tom Griswold
Cedar Lake. I got it.
Josh Arnold
Crown Point, Indiana.
Chick McGee
You know, you used to be a lot better at acting like you're paying attention.
Tom Griswold
Do you have Kelsey with you?
Chad Daniels
No, no, no. She's got all her own stuff going on. But, you know, people. People ask a lot about. When I tell them I'm dating another comedian, they'll say, kelsey Cook. They'll say, hey, isn't it. Isn't it always fun? Do you guys always have fun? And I have to remind them I'm still a man and she's still a woman.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Chad Daniels
So. So, no, it's not always fun. I don't know that I've ever dated someone that I'm more different than. Than her. Because she has a ring on her finger. It's called an aura ring. That tells her how she sleeps. And she's like, hey, you should get an aura ring. And I go, no, thanks. I don't want to wear a ring. And she goes, well, you should. It helps you. It tells you how you slept. And I go, I'm 50. I know how I sleep. Some days I'll wake up and I'll be like. And I know that that was not enough sleep. And then other days I wake up and I'm like, I don't need coffee. Cause there's sunshine outside. And that was brought to you by a lot of restorative slee.
Tom Griswold
That's nice. Very good. Chad Daniels is our guest. And so. So you went to a lake house by yourself to enjoy.
Chad Daniels
By myself.
Tom Griswold
To enjoy your sobriety.
Chad Daniels
My friend joined me.
Tom Griswold
Ah, okay.
Chad Daniels
Yes, you guys, we. We will be doing some fishing right now. He's on the dock fishing. And his family will come up. They always come up to Minnesota to my cabin every year. And then they bought themselves a cabin. They call it a cottage. Here, let me be clear. It's their cabins, not cottages. What are we in the 1500s?
Tom Griswold
So.
Chad Daniels
So then I came down here because I wanted to see it, and his. Like I said, his family will come up tomorrow.
Tom Griswold
Cool. I see. I see. Is that a goatee? Turn your head to the side here. I can't see.
Chad Daniels
It's a poor thing. Full beard.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I see.
Chad Daniels
I think I'm just. I think I'm lit from the side.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Because I was going to say when you said it's not the 1500s, it's also not 2005 if you have a goatee.
Chad Daniels
No, I completely understand that. And I am making some stew, some lamb stew. So I am going to have to get back to that.
Kristi Lee
Oh, right, right.
Chick McGee
Well, there you go.
Tom Griswold
Chad Daniels is our guest. Distinguished stand up comedian. What else is happening in your life?
Chick McGee
I have.
Chad Daniels
Listen, I don't know if I attract stupid people, but I have to because I'm. And let me also say this. Getting honked at, I don't know what it does to my brain. I don't know if I was honked at as a child and then now I freak out every time it happens. But I was driving on the highway and following maybe the slowest person ever. I don't know. Speaking of the 1500s, they would have been beaten by a horse and buggy. And so then I have to pull off the exit with them, then I have to take a left hand turn behind them. Everything is taking so slow. Is it taking such a long time? And so they're going straight on this light and I have to get in the right hand lane next to them, but they are straddling that line that separates so I can't, I can't move over. And so finally I honk my horn and then I go to the right of him and he, he ends up honking back at me. So I roll my window down and I go, hey man, are you honking at me? Are you honking at someone behind you? That's crazy. And he goes, well, you've been up on me this whole time and you've been doing this. And I go, right now you are on the line of two different lanes. You can't, first of all, you're going so slow and you can't be. And I said, you have to be the solution. And he said, it's actually be part of the solution. The phrase is the phrases, don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution. And I said, I know that that's the phrase, I understand that. But right now you need to be the solution because you're the entire problem.
Kristi Lee
You'Re not even part of.
Tom Griswold
Sounds like a very civilized discussion, though.
Chad Daniels
I think so too. But then all of a sudden he tries to cut me off and go further. And I was getting gas at a gas station and I'm trying to, you know when you, like after you get your gas, you have to take a right out of the parking lot sometimes and then someone else will come straight to that opening. And so that's what was happening. And we were waiting for traffic to clear on the road. And so she starts to go, and then, but so I pull up, then she pulls up and then when the traffic clears, she starts to go. So I got in front of her and she laid on her horn. So I got out of my car and I asked politely if she would roll her window down. And I said, why are you honking at me? And she goes, you got in my way. And I said, did you get here before or after me? And she said, after. And I said, okay, here's the next one. Then do you get. Do you get to go before or after me? And I go, you know what's great about this test? All the answers are the same answer. I'm gonna get shot in traffic.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ignore the horn and move on. Move on. I'm glad all is well with you. Enjoyed the fishing today, and thank you, lamb stew.
Chad Daniels
I appreciate it. Thank you very much.

This B&T Extra episode is a lively, humorous mix of nostalgia and observational comedy. The central themes revolve around the stories and culture of concert T-shirts—how people collect, use, and repurpose them—and a featured segment with acclaimed comedian Chad Daniels, who brings his signature wit to discussions about sobriety, relationships, and relatable annoyances from everyday life. The conversation is underscored by the show's signature camaraderie and quick banter among the hosts.
(Starts ~03:16)
The hosts recount a conversation with comedian Jimmy Pardo about classic concert T-shirts, including his practice of folding them in alphabetical order.
Listener letters share personal stories of T-shirts turned into quilts and their sentimental (and monetary) value:
Tom shares a story about a student unknowingly wearing a rare Elton John 1971 tour T-shirt to class.
"One of my students wore a 1971 Elton John concert tour T-shirt… I was at that concert." — Tom Griswold [05:02]
(Begins ~05:33)
[09:27]
(Chad joins ~13:33; Deep dive begins ~14:00)
The episode maintains the Bob & Tom show's trademark unfiltered, playful tone. Their camaraderie shines through affectionate teasing and lively exchanges, especially as they blend personal anecdotes with pop culture critique. Chad Daniels’ dry humor and introspective insights add depth, especially his candidness about quitting drinking and the funny but very real frustrations of adult life.
This summary covers the major comedic beats, listener interactions, and memorable moments so that even those who missed the episode can enjoy its spirit and substance.
