A great way to get your morning started. This is Bob and Tom.

[Tom]

Extra.

[Kristi]

Hello, Tom. We have emails from our listeners.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's get to it. What do you got over there?

[Kristi]

Good morning, Bob and Tom show. Hello, hello, hello. Thank you for making my drive to work tolerable. This is from Gene in Plover, Wisconsin.

[Josh Arnold]

We had Plover yesterday.

[Kristi]

Yeah, no kidding. Jill says just letting you know that Plover, Wisconsin. I don't know how you missed this has a huge potato masher on display in a field. It's located near Stevens Point. Do yourself a favor and plan a trip. All right. And I believe we have a picture of the giant potato masher.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I've got to see that in person.

[Kristi]

That is really something.

[Tom Griswold]

It is a. Yep. That's a giant. By the way, it also looks like it could be a cell phone tower.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It looks like it can conduct some sort of electricity or power.

[Kristi]

Look, if they. If they turn it upside down or with the mashing part on the ground, it could be a bike rack.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And by the way, those still. I mean, that's when they invented that.

[Kristi]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

They.

[Josh Arnold]

They. They did it.

[Kristi]

The guy said they still work. I've changed. I've changed the world. It doesn't get any better. Remember that. What. What did they do before the potato? Like a fork or something?

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe.

[Haywood Banks]

Man.

[Tom Griswold]

Better than the ice cream scooper.

[Josh Arnold]

That's. Yeah. So much.

[Tom Griswold]

So much better than a spoon.

[Josh Arnold]

It absolutely is. By the way, that I think that

[Tom Griswold]

is one of the most underrated gigs for a teen. That is a tough job.

[Kristi]

Ice cream scoop.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not just the scooping. It's the interpersonal.

[Kristi]

What do they call it? Soda jerks?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Back in the day.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

But now you don't talk.

[Tom Griswold]

The lady in front of you. Could I try the. Could I try the cookies and cream? And they got the little spoons.

[Josh Arnold]

It requires a ton of patience.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And the ability to be kind of sticky all day.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Which I don't have that ability. I would constantly be watching, and then

[Tom Griswold]

every once in a while, you see them. I got some ice cream of the day. And I don't know if it just came from Antarctica. This kid was really trying to get. Trying to get it loose. That's a tough job.

[Bob Kevoian]

Big, strong right arm.

[Kristi]

Yeah. Upper body strength.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom, do you prefer your ice cream scoops like at home with the trigger or minus the trigger?

[Tom Griswold]

The triggers.

[Josh Arnold]

For amateurs, the trigger doesn't always trigger. It doesn't always work.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't have a trigger.

[Josh Arnold]

Either do I?

[Tom Griswold]

I have a trigger for anger.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, we know.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a hair trigger.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll be honest. I don't have.

[Kristi]

I'll go with Christy on that. You're telling us like we had no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't have an ice cream scoop.

[Chick]

You don't need one. Microwave, 15 seconds. Right, chick?

[Josh Arnold]

You know what?

[Kristi]

I. I do that.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't Have.

[Josh Arnold]

But getting it from the container to the. Oh, wait. Or do you just take the core? Like the little.

[Chick]

I just use a spoon after 15 seconds in the microwave.

[Josh Arnold]

But you put the microwave in the Ben and Jerry's thing.

[Chick]

I do, yeah.

[Tom]

Okay. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Then you eat the whole thing.

[Kristi]

Absolutely.

[Chick]

Tiny little quartz.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pampered Chef makes a really great ice cream scoop and you shake it up and it.

[Kristi]

I'm sorry, who's this Pampered Chef.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pampered Chef heats up so you don't have to.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean?

[Bob Kevoian]

It heats.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

It kind of like heats the scoop up so it's easier to get the ice cream out.

[Josh Arnold]

Almost like one of those road flares.

[Tom Griswold]

You kind of radioactive what's inside.

[Kristi]

It's up and it.

[Tom Griswold]

That can't be good.

[Kristi]

It'll. It'll burn you.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, God.

[Kristi]

Be careful.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyway, my point is that's one of those jobs that you often will be a teenage kid. That's a tough job.

[Kristi]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Underrated. So.

[Josh Arnold]

But I bet Fawn man.

[Tom Griswold]

No, if you're out there scooping, they

[Bob Kevoian]

get free ice cream.

[Tom Griswold]

But again, we have this new story about the. The place in Los Angeles, the barber shop that now they're also doing psychology.

[Tom]

They.

[Tom Griswold]

The. The haircut people often have to be psychologists.

[Bob Kevoian]

They have to deal with all ticket brokers.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And. Well, in the case of certain barbers that they're also bookies.

[Kristi]

But I mean, you need something to get you over the hump, you know? Yeah, that's right.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you talk while getting your haircut, chick?

[Kristi]

I don't care for it. But my. Say the girl who cuts my hair, she's been doing it for seven years, so we kind of know each other. Yeah, I talk to her.

[Josh Arnold]

But sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

My hair guy and I are great friends.

[Kristi]

Of course you are.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's where you get all the gossip.

[Josh Arnold]

That's where you get my least favorite thing.

[Kristi]

So anyway. Now who's this again? Well, Janet, she said no. Dear Bob and Tom Show. Just thought you would like to see my new sweet little girl, Rebel in her brand new hat. There's Rebel. She's a year and a half old Aussie doodle.

[Josh Arnold]

Look at that hat.

[Kristi]

That is a hell of a hat.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's kind of a visor, which is even funnier.

[Josh Arnold]

It's almost a band visor. Like the back half is sort of bandana. Ish.

[Bob Kevoian]

And my dog would never sit still for that.

[Kristi]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I'm with you. That would be off immediately.

[Josh Arnold]

You got to show her a picture of Rebel and she'll go, I need one of those.

[Kristi]

My auntie has. She doesn't like fireworks, man. She hates fireworks. So we. I got her a wrap that she puts around her head and. And she looks like a seal, but I mean.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Does that work? I talked to the vet and I got the THC infused dog biscuits.

[Kristi]

She has. She has medication. She has medication.

[Josh Arnold]

I would think THC would just make the fireworks better. Really, really cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. She looks up and she goes woof. It's the equivalent of ah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sounded like somebody was shooting off a machine gun outside our house yesterday already. Yeah. At night. I don't know if some kid got a hold of one of those strips of M80s. You know how they.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And you take them and they just go. But it was scary. My dogs went crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

The things I have.

[Tom Griswold]

They have a dog weight chart in the back. If your dog weighs 50 pounds or you give them so many of these supposedly to. It's an ain't kind of to help them with the fireworks. Check with the professional on this one. Talk to your vets, see what they say. Dear Bob and Tom show, thanks for recommending the movie song Song Blue. It's currently on Netflix. Hugh Jackman is fantastic. It's a great story. Thank you, Dolores. In South Carolina, Mr. Jackman stopped by our show Dolores to go to talk about this.

[Kristi]

Dolores. What does that rhyme with Josh? Dolores.

[Josh Arnold]

Dolores.

[Kristi]

Yeah.

[Chick]

What else? Rhinosaurus.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the famous. Maybe a dinosaur. The clitoris.

[Tom]

Very rare.

[Tom Griswold]

Think about that.

[Kristi]

You're hard to find.

[Tom Griswold]

Bone free. Let's see now.

[Josh Arnold]

Bone free.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, here we go. Pat. Lisa, I am having rotator cuff surgery tomorrow.

[Chick]

Should we tell her Chick?

[Kristi]

No, it's fine.

[Chick]

You'll be great.

[Tom Griswold]

She's had it before. She says it sucks but worth it.

[Chick]

So she's had one already?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Must be the other arm. I don't know. Now, what do you got over there?

[Kristi]

Dear Bob and Tom show, the movie Chick was referring to in the 80s. It's called better Off Dead.

[Josh Arnold]

I love Better Off Dead. What were you saying about it?

[Kristi]

John Cusack goes on a date and the girl runs his credit.

[Tom]

Oh.

[Kristi]

The first thing so I've not seen that. I don't particularly care for Mr. Kuzang.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of things we've seen and I just heard about this other day. I just watched the Earth, Wind and Fire documentary on hbo. Max.

[Kristi]

I've heard that's great.

[Tom Griswold]

I have heard it's great also.

[Kristi]

Quest Love.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, exactly. Questlove made it. I've got to check that out there's a bunch. They're getting some really good documentaries out there.

[Chick]

The Slice Stone, the Quest. Loved it is great.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Kristi]

Wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So, yeah, some things to do in stormy weather. Watch some quality documentaries out there.

[Kristi]

Dear Bob and Tom show. This is from radio Professionals. Hello, Radio Professionals and professionals is in quotes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I would appreciate that.

[Kristi]

What do I. There's a county fair in Iowa that has a demolition derby using farm combine tractors.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Kristi]

It is beyond wonderful. That's David in Cedar Falls, Iowa.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't see that fun.

[Kristi]

Holy heck, how they would do that.

[Tom Griswold]

The contemporary combines are quite something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Kristi]

Well, yeah. So. And they're computer guided.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Kristi]

They're almost driverless guided and you know, sort of.

[Tom Griswold]

But I was talking to a friend of mine who is involved in the farming industry.

[Bob Kevoian]

Really.

[Tom Griswold]

And he was saying that sometimes some of these contemporary, incredibly expensive combines, something will go wrong. And it's not like you can take a wrench and fix them yourself.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like cars.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's gotten really complicated and getting anybody out there to fix it can be rough. He said in one case they had to wait a month that this combine sitting in a field. Whoops. So if you get one, get the guarantee. Dear Bob and Tom show. I recently was provided this for my fiance. We were getting the fixin for. Oh, I see. We were getting the fixings ready for tacos. And she said, do you have any quesadilla skins? I will forever refer to tortillas as quesadilla skins. Drew and Boise. Here's another positive thing about Pat's dry bar comedy special. That's good to see. Now, Pat, what song can you actually do now without a guitar?

[Chick]

Well, I have backing tracks for about maybe 10 things. Like stuck in a car. I can do yoga pants. Greek physique. Oh, my gosh. The list is just growing as we speak.

[Kristi]

Unbelievable. Okay, well, this man's an entertainer.

[Chick]

Content creations. Oh, songs, dances.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I'd like to see you dance, Jeff.

[Chick]

Yeah, I'm a horrible dancer.

[Tom Griswold]

Jeff, Oscar came up with a hot dog recipe, you may recall.

[Bob Kevoian]

30 seconds. Easy peasy.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, it's. You want to go over the recipe?

[Haywood Banks]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

You just take a hot dog straight from the package, put it in a bun, put it in a paper towel, throw it in the microwave. 30 seconds, done.

[Tom Griswold]

It's amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I would have thought you had

[Bob Kevoian]

look like you've never microwaved a hot dog in your life.

[Kristi]

I just wish I had that excitement for the mundane. But to you, it's not mundane. It's the first time you're hearing him,

[Josh Arnold]

and yet he's still a miserable man. Yes, that's the baffling.

[Kristi]

Yes, just miserable.

[Tom Griswold]

Troy in Lawler, Iowa, said, if you want to kick it up a notch.

[Kristi]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Add a slice of American cheese to the bun. Put the hot dog on top of the cheese inside the bun. Microwave, same procedure. P. S. This may be one of the fattest things I've ever done, and I don't care. Thank you, Troy.

[Kristi]

It's not that fat cheese on hot dogs. I did it the other. I put a paper towel inside the bun and then the hot dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I had it all messed up. You'll get there.

[Tom Griswold]

You think Edison. You think Edison got it right the first time?

[Kristi]

Of course not. He used all sorts of tungsten before he got to tungsten. Right, right. Oh, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. My daughter, 2 years old, refers to flies as flying raisins.

[Josh Arnold]

So does my cat.

[Tom Griswold]

We get the raisin swatter off the top of the refrigerator when needed.

[Kristi]

Does your cat eat flies in front of you?

[Josh Arnold]

Heartily.

[Bob Kevoian]

My dog used to do. I had a dog that did that before.

[Josh Arnold]

She eats them, too. She likes to hold them in her mouth a little bit. That sensation must be pleasing.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm like, just eat it already. You're really grossing me out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, but it's kind of handy, isn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

I love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a flyswatter handy?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. On top of the refrigerator.

[Tom Griswold]

What is on top? Is that standard?

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that where everybody's is?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you know, it was when growing up, but mine is now in my garage.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no. Mine's on top of the refrigerator. Nope.

[Josh Arnold]

I. And I'm making a mistake because I open up my garage door, a bunch of flies fly in.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Every time I get the fly swan.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see now. I wonder how we could remedy that.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Mine has a little cover on it, so it doesn't. You don't put the guts on your top of your refrigerator. Yeah, Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

A fly water cover.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it knitted?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Kristi]

From Pampered Sweet Home.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a good idea.

[Kristi]

From Pampered Chef.

[Tom Griswold]

Does it match the knit toilet seat cover you have?

[Chick]

Good.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you're right, Christy.

[Bob Kevoian]

And it has a little thing at the bottom of it, and I. I'm.

[Josh Arnold]

Are we a little surprised Tom doesn't have one?

[Kristi]

Absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got a little pinch.

[Kristi]

I don't know what I'm saying. I know. I know what Sir LAAB is, so. I. I'm not. It's a high High end kitchen snooty kitchen implant.

[Josh Arnold]

Excellent.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Kristi]

Oh, they're very nice.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a brand.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, is your. Is your fly swatter one of those ones made out of screen door screen?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it's plastic.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's plastic.

[Kristi]

Aren't there electrified?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, those are.

[Tom Griswold]

There are electric fly swatter, the ones

[Bob Kevoian]

that kill the mosquitoes.

[Kristi]

Don't they make guns that you shoot at the fly?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. With salt?

[Kristi]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What? Those are fun. Yeah, those are great.

[Chick]

Now I'm in.

[Josh Arnold]

Wait, you can get them in any Bass Pro.

[Kristi]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So what does it do with salt?

[Josh Arnold]

You'll find out at Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but there aren't any flies in December.

[Kristi]

Now I can't.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you might hold on to it. You got to play the waiting game, you ungrateful prayer. You go, you target. You practice for three months and then when the flies.

[Tom Griswold]

So are you shooting. Are you shooting salt all over your house?

[Josh Arnold]

I honestly don't have one.

[Tom Griswold]

So is it like a shotgun? I mean, is it. Or do you have to really have a handgun?

[Kristi]

Idiot. It wouldn't be a shot.

[Tom]

No, no, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

But I mean these. Does it put a spray of salt out or do you have to really. Is it like precise?

[Kristi]

Well, you got to be.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got to hit the fly.

[Josh Arnold]

Every time I make a Cabela's or Bass Pro run, I'll pick one up and we can. I'll bring it here, we can see, shoot each other.

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like I'd let flies in just to do this.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, the electrified ones.

[Tom Griswold]

My.

[Josh Arnold]

My friends and I used to see who could take it on the nose because they're powerful.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are they?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ouch. Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, because flies are so disgusting.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they're pretty gross.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, because you know where they've been?

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, They've been in your house, they're

[Josh Arnold]

in the cat litter box, and they throw up constantly. And they do every. I heard. Somebody told me that every time they land, they're puking, they're trying to look nice. It's how they digest.

[Kristi]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Or something. Yeah.

[Kristi]

I don't have a choice.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Bulimic flu.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you do.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

America's next top fly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, we have a tribute. A tribute to flies. This is one of the classics from Haywood Banks.

[Tom]

I'm looking at the world through fly's eyes. Looking at the world through flies eyes. Looking at the world through flies eyes. And you can just buzz off. Well, I think I'll buzz in the fridge, front door. I think I'll buzz around the back door screen. I think I'll buzz around your face. Then I'll land on the ceiling.

[Kristi]

Soul fly.

[Tom]

Well, I think I'll land on some horse manure. I think I'll land on the pool poop du jour.

[Kristi]

That's poop of the day, chick.

[Tom]

I think I'll land on a squash possum. And then I'll land on your potato salad. Just washing up. Cause I'm looking at the world through flies. Eyes looking at the world through flies. Looking at the world through flies.

[Kristi]

And you can just buzz off.

[Tom]

And you can just buzz off.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Haywood Banks.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have some bad news for the pampered chef, folks. They have discontinued the cult favorite. Super swatter is what they call it has an integrated dustpan and hidden tweezers. I've had this thing for probably 20 years.

[Chick]

That's why your chicken salad tastes so weird. Yeah.

[Kristi]

Oh, these are weird.

[Bob Kevoian]

Awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I'm looking at the bug salt, the. The fly swatter shooter, and you load it with salt, and it's sort of splays out like a shotgun, whatever the word would be. And there's a nice scatter.

[Kristi]

Scatter shot.

[Tom Griswold]

It scatters. Yeah. There's a nice video, and they go right down.

[Bob Kevoian]

But then you have to clean up the salt everywhere.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's for outdoors.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, this thing. They've got a guy in a chef suit having. He looks kind of like Heywood having a blast, just pulverizing flies all over the food. This does look like a fun afternoon.

[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.
