4. T-Shirt Pronunciations and Food Delivery Memories

[07:11 - 08:46]

• Chick receives a letter from Michael in Bakersfield about croissants, leading to a pronunciation roundtable (croissant vs “croissan’”).
• Bob: “I give it a heavy W... croissant.” [07:34]
• Bob tries to connect with Chick over the “Schwan’s” food delivery company, but learns there is confusion with the Schwann record catalog, a music industry thing.

---

8. American Rock Tees in China, Band T-Shirts as Fashion

[14:19 - 15:52]

• A listener writes in from Xi'an, China, recounting an awkward attempt to bond with a local teen in a Nirvana T-shirt via air guitar.

Lately I've been more intentional about what I wear day to day, leaning into pieces that feel easy, comfortable and still put together. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go to. The fabrics feel elevated, the fits are clean and everything just works without needing to overthink it. I just love how Quince balances affordability with quality. Everything is priced 50 to 80% less than what you'd find at similar brands. Quite Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen so you get premium materials without the markup. I am standing here wearing their cardigan sweater. It's all cotton. My shoes are from Quince. They're a beautiful sandal for summer. I also have the Italian leather tote in Camel which I highly recommend. Their jeans. Oh my gosh, the Bella Stretch wide leg jeans. I can't have enough of them. In fact, Quince, if you're listening, could you make those in white? I would really appreciate it. I could go on and on. Highly recommend it. Check it out today.

[Narrator]

If you missed something yesterday, maybe you'll hear it now. This is Bob and Tom Extra.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now we have your letters.

[Tom Griswold]

You can reach kind of a Elvis. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can reach us, Bob and [e-mail] we love hearing from you. Chick McGee. Would you care to begin?

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. From Ron in Kentucky.

[Chick McGee]

Ronnie.

[Tom Griswold]

Tig old bitties.

[Kristi]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Tig old bitties.

[Chick McGee]

That's all he says.

[Tom Griswold]

That's how he says.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. You've missed this new feature that I'm tired of already.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I love that, man. That's nice. I'm a big fan of those things.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, the. The letters. Now.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. I thought the kids had eaten all the drumstick ice creams, but I just found one hidden behind the ice tray. I will sleep well tonight. That's Howard.

[Bob Kevoian]

That is nice.

[Chick McGee]

Secret treats. What a good time a secret treat is. That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of secret, grab some ice cream. Thought it was all gone. No, that's nice.

[Kristi]

Pat, you haven't.

[Pat]

Somebody sent me an email, believe it or not. Speaking of secret sweets. Here. Morning, all. Willie asked if he'd ever eaten rooster. Fun fact. All chicken fries and chicken fingers are in fact rooster penises.

[Tom Griswold]

That is a fun fact.

[Bob Kevoian]

We are trying to figure out if we. If you eat both male and female chickens.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, you do. Is the answer.

[Kristi]

Yeah, he found out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Male and female chickens. What do they call them? Broilers. Those are. They're both. Now, beef comes from steers. Now those are boy deers that have been.

[Kristi]

Unborn deers. Boy cows.

[Bob Kevoian]

What did I say? Oh, boy cows. Sorry. As you can see, none of us really are.

[Tom Griswold]

You start talking like this.

[Bob Kevoian]

As you can see, we don't know much about. The primary source of supermarket beef, according to this news story, is steers. Males that have been castrated.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Castration makes them calmer and improves the meat quality. Also, it. It makes their mooing a little higher.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Help. Help.

[Tom Griswold]

Shark.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, God, I love that as a kid. Nothing funnier. Let's see. Now, let's get back to our mailbag, shall we?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is from Jimmy he says, let's see, from a Bloomfield pause. Kentucky.

[Kristi]

Oh, not Michigan. Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. You know about Bloomfield, Michigan, though, don't you? You psycho.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bloomfield Hill.

[Kristi]

Isn't that where the rich people live in Michigan?

[Tom Griswold]

I thought it was Gross Point.

[Bob Kevoian]

Lovely area. They're both very nice out to eat. Last night, ordered my iced tea based on Tom's recommendation with orange slices instead of lemon. Tom, it was the best tea I've ever had. I am hooked. I know Chick is rolling his eyes, but, Chick, I've got to tell you, it was fantastic. Yes, I now. I trouble servers now every day by saying, could I please have an orange license?

[Chick McGee]

You think you just now started troubling servers?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that's. That's only the beginning.

[Tom Griswold]

You went across. You went against your own rule, though. You don't like flavored iced tea. I'm sorry?

[Bob Kevoian]

Orange is a flavor, yes, but it's not an artificial flavor. Bottled iced tea should be illegal. So awful.

[Kristi]

So what? Do they ever say, no, we don't have orange slices, and I would just

[Bob Kevoian]

stand up, storm out after flipping the table. Yeah, they have. They have oranges back there.

[Tom Griswold]

So much for the pure leaf sports desk. I guess.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's much better, Trust me. And I don't want lemon in my teeth. I don't care.

[Kristi]

Do you at home cut up oranges and have them ready at.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's a very fair question. On occasion. Ah, but I have an. I have a. What is it called? A carafe. A pitcher of iced tea right now and sitting in the green room.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I stick my finger in it every morning.

[Pat]

I like that flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you like that flavor?

[Bob Kevoian]

I hope you've washed.

[Tom Griswold]

I put my finger in my butt, then I. Then I dunk it in your iced tea.

[Bob Kevoian]

We laugh.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Pat comes in and he does it sometimes, and we both laugh.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, based on my tea, Misty, you might want to go see a doctor. Oh. Tastes a little bloody.

[Chick McGee]

We were all goofing around. I'm just being silly.

[Tom Griswold]

Am I bleeding back there?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think Bloody Stool is opening for Green Day and their tour this summer. Let's see now.

[Chick McGee]

Chick, I have a letter for you. It just says for Chick. Hey, Chick. Just started my shift. Having coffee and a croissant.

[Kristi]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Have a great show, you guys.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Chick McGee]

That's from Michael in Bakersfield.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sounds good.

[Tom Griswold]

Home of the Buck Owens Sound. Are you hitting that field?

[Chick McGee]

California, Are you hitting that croissant? Are you going? I think I go croissant. I'm not really sure.

[Pat]

Croissant.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't say croissant.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't either.

[Chick McGee]

I said it should be fine.

[Bob Kevoian]

I give it a heavy W. I go, croissant. There it is.

[Chick McGee]

There's the big man.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't say Louis Vuitton town either, do you?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, because it's Louis Vuitton.

[Chick McGee]

I say like Louisville. I go, I'm getting a Louis Vuitton from a baby.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's nice for my baby.

[Tom Griswold]

She'll put out then.

[Christopher]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yesterday we were talking about something and I. I thought Chick would be on. On my team. Which is the team. The team of the totally obscure.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe today I'll be on your team. You don't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

You. You mentioned the. Is it the. The. The ice cream delivery company.

[Kristi]

Schwans.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, Schwann's.

[Kristi]

They do more than ice cream. They're a whole. They did meats, they did frozen chips, pizza roll. They did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are they dinners? Are they no longer.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, they're out there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, well, good. Yeah. So it was a delivery food and

[Kristi]

you'd get a catalog and then you would check what you wanted and then some privileged man would bring it jerk

[Tom Griswold]

across the street, get schwans every afternoon or something.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's nice.

[Kristi]

Once a week or whatever.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm run out.

[Bob Kevoian]

But when you mentioned it, I was not familiar with it, right? And I said, oh, don't they have the Schwann catalog? Thinking the chick would know. And I got nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

And I thought, is there a Schwann catalog?

[Kristi]

I never heard of it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Tom writes Mr. Golden, you and I are two of the few who would conflate Schwann record catalog with Schwann food service.

[Kristi]

It was a record thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

It was a. Like. It was a. You'd go to the record store so they'd look up a thing and just. In the schwann.

[Tom Griswold]

If that guy writes in again and uses conflate. Yeah, don't read his first name.

[Kristi]

I know Golden. I know a lot of Golden.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm not going to give you his first name.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Golden. What's he trying to hide?

[Bob Kevoian]

John, I

[Pat]

found you.

[Bob Kevoian]

John Golden.

[Kristi]

Not any golden title.

[Tom Griswold]

John Golden.

[Bob Kevoian]

I am so sorry. John Golden.

[Tom Griswold]

You left your car.

[Bob Kevoian]

I conflated being smart with being an idiot. I did not mean to give your name. John.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, there it is now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wait a second. How can you be met tomorrow isn't.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not mad.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wait a second. Isn't tomorrow National Vinyl Record Store day?

[Tom Griswold]

Damn right it is.

[Chick McGee]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I looked forward to that day all year.

[Kristi]

Do you wait in line? Do you get out There.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I don't wait in line.

[Pat]

A lot of people do wait in line.

[Kristi]

Oh, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

I am somebody. I don't wait.

[Bob Kevoian]

Record store date's great. I will be probably buying a couple of vinyls tomorrow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can tell you collect them because that's what we call them in the business. Vinyls. Do you have any vinyls?

[Bob Kevoian]

I have. I have a friend who I am indoctrinating. Is that the word? Into the world of classic rock.

[Chick McGee]

Oh my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this your trainer every single time?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, no, no. But I have been doing indoctrinating him.

[Chick McGee]

Is it one of Kelly's friend's husbands who's stuck talking to you sometimes?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, that's exactly Cor.

[Chick McGee]

And so it's you and some 47

[Pat]

year old man trying to get along.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's 50. And I've been going to a couple different stores and buying vinyl of. And it's because it's. It's great here.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that guy talking to his wife? I don't want to go see Tom and Kelly no more. Is that okay?

[Chick McGee]

Last time he. He kept telling about his little feet or something.

[Bob Kevoian]

I. No, I got a. I actually bought him.

[Kristi]

I'm sure you did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Feats don't fail me now. The last record album, Allman Brothers. Oh, I got Live at the Fillmore. I got Eat a Peach, but I'm final.

[Chick McGee]

You know, people get mad at me for criticizing you too much, but at least acknowledge I do it right. At least I know you enough to know the band you gave him. I. I know.

[Bob Kevoian]

You nailed it. You nailed the guy too. Except you had the age wrong by three years. Happy birthday.

[Kristi]

Oh, is this the guy?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm not gonna give him the name. No, no, I'm not gonna say I've already. I've already blown the John golden thing

[Tom Griswold]

and it's John Golden's birthday.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that what she said? That for all practical purposes, we're gonna wish him happy birthday.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do you have another letter over there?

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. I was listening to your show earlier. Mentioned you had a PlayStation 5 still in the box. Yes, I do. I'd be more than happy to take that off your hands so you can clear up some space for more shoes. That's Devin and Reno. I will take this under advisement.

[Bob Kevoian]

Devin is a smart guy.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't trust myself to unwrap the PlayStation 5 because no one would ever see me again.

[Chick McGee]

Chick, there's a Spider man game on that PlayStation 5. And when it came out, I gave myself three days to play this. I had a bunch of work coming up and these games are totally immersive. Oh yeah, you can go all of New York City. It's real New York City. You're swinging around, you're doing mission taking down bad guys. And I gave myself three days because I knew if I went it'll. It'll ruin my life.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But I beat the game in three days. It was a great three days. I was saving New York City, man. It was the best.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did we do the story about the old lady who spent all her.

[Kristi]

I have that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, this is great.

[Chick McGee]

I read that. It's funny.

[Kristi]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And we didn't do it on the air, did we?

[Kristi]

Yeah, we did. About the lady. They found she was.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh yeah, they thought she was dead.

[Kristi]

She was dead.

[Bob Kevoian]

They did a, they did a wellness check and she was immersed in a video game with headphones on.

[Kristi]

91 years old. It was.

[Bob Kevoian]

But can you imagine? Because when you do that, I've heard you guys when you're doing it and you're cursing left and right. It's crazy to strangers. Can you imagine some, I don't know, some 17 year old boys getting his ass kicked by this 91 year old lady cursing her out.

[Chick McGee]

It happens. There are some mean.

[Pat]

I can't believe it comes out of my son's bedroom. Oh my gosh, really? Profanity at 3am When I live in

[Kristi]

an apartment, it isn't 3am, he's a kid.

[Pat]

Weekends.

[Kristi]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

But it is an interesting world. We're talking to people. You don't know who they are. Yeah, it's kind of like the ham radio operators. You're out there in the special select universe talking to people.

[Kristi]

Do they still have those?

[Bob Kevoian]

Are you kidding? You know who the greatest ham operators? Joe Walsh.

[Tom Griswold]

Am.

[Pat]

What story years ago.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ace, am I right or not? A simple yes or no. We'll do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Who knows?

[Kristi]

Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

Who knows if Joe, maybe when he got. Maybe when he got sober, he gave up the hammer.

[Bob Kevoian]

This, this analogy, Joe, this analogy beside come on back for Joe, besides being profound, is indeed correct. Yeah, that's. But that's a special universe of people. I'm sure there's a ham operator listening right now. But I'm saying that these, the video

[Tom Griswold]

people can raise Joe for us.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why do I talk to you Philistines? Dear Bob and Tom show, give it a go. Oh, this is Jim. I'm not going to give his last name, I hope. Although it is the same as one of the first names of a Member of the Electric Amish. I'll leave it right there. Jim says no, Kyle Barkley.

[Tom Griswold]

Gotta be Kyle.

[Bob Kevoian]

It is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Jim says, I am currently traveling in China. Hey, today I'm in a city. Oh, help me here. Christy Xi. Apostrophe A N. I'm gonna say Sean. Yeah, well, he's in Sean. Whatever that is. I was walking down the street, I saw a kid wearing a Nirvana T shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

So in the interests of the Bob and Tom show, I tried to ask him about the shirt we were talking about the fact that my girls are wearing all these classic rock T shirts. They have no idea who the bands are. He didn't speak any English, so I was trying to demonstrate to him by doing my best air guitar. He hurried away and looked frightened, confused. Yeah, that's good old American rock and roll. It's everywhere. But the shirts now, I think, are selling more than the music. In the cases of some bands, it sucks.

[Chick McGee]

Now, it's cool. When I was in high school, I wore Led Zeppelin shirts and it wasn't cool. People made fun of me.

[Kristi]

Did they really?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, for sure. People were like this when I was in high school. People were like, polo shirts. Abercrombie. It was really preppy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, this is cool.

[Tom Griswold]

In Grohl's book, I think he's. He's driving around, I want to say Scotland or some far flung place, and he sees a hitchhiker and he pulls over and the kid was wearing a Nirvana T shirt. And Kurt had just, you know, left. And Dave said, well, I probably should embrace this then. And trying to get away from it. So.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, did he give him a Ryan?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I gave him.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, that's cool. He's supposed to be the greatest guy.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, there's an interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I don't know how his wife would feel right now, but if you feel

[Bob Kevoian]

good now, I love that you're taking a big crap all over that.

[Kristi]

That's the facts.

[Tom Griswold]

I think they're bad.

[Kristi]

I think they've settled their differences that over him for the rest of his life.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll bet you take the garbage out for that. Okay, thanks.

[Pat]

That's what he's going.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a great documentary called Sound City. He bought them Sound City in la. Really good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. We've had a couple of our Bob and Tom T shirts show up in some very unusual places. Remember the time it was a Japanese

[Kristi]

boy band or something?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, like the number one Japanese boy band. One of the guys was wearing a Bob and Tom T shirt.

[Kristi]

That was fun.

[Chick McGee]

My friend does art stuff for, like, movies in la, and she gets a lot of thrift store trips, and she finds Bob and Tom stuff at a thrift store in LA like, every three months.

[Kristi]

Oh, that's cool.

[Chick McGee]

So it's just whoever decided to move back to Ohio. Sounds like drops off their Bob and Tom sweatshirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like one of our comedian friends appreciating our gift.

[Pat]

Yeah, a little too much sometimes.

[Bob Kevoian]

That used to be clap. We would give them the goodie bags with, like, CDs and T shirts and

[Tom Griswold]

stuff and prize them so much, some

[Bob Kevoian]

of them would immediately essentially sell them online. You know, the life of a traveling comedian. You know what it's like, Willie. But the nice, nice postscript on this letter. Do I have time to read this? Yeah. He wants to know. I was looking for a frame with photographs, like the aura frame. The ones I found were charging me a monthly subscription. Does the aura frame charge for their app? No, the aura frame, which is fantastic. There's one right behind Willy. No, you buy the aura frame, you load it with photos. There's. There's no monthly fee or anything. It's. That's all free.

[Chick McGee]

It's got a picture of me, you, and Tommy Brennan from SNL on it right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, cool. There's a picture of Josh Oskay. And who is that? Is that All Z? What are those guys eating? Never mind. I'll just move right on. Pat, you want to crap all over that?

[Pat]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Feel free be. That'll be just fine.

[Tom Griswold]

You think Dave Gro did that? Yeah, a little eating. You know what I mean?

[Christopher]

That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes. Google Play and Stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.

Back in the 80s, there were a thousand bands trying to make it in the world of rock. But there was one band that had it all. Hammer Alley.

Whatever happened to Hammer Alley?

[Narrator]

How did they go from top of the Rock? I'm looking for a music video. They're a band from 1987. Hammer Alley. Ever heard of them? To rock bottom, dude.

[Bob Kevoian]

I was born in 1987.
