A great way to get your morning started. This is Bob and Tom.
Tom Griswold
Extra time now for emails from our listeners. What do you have, Tom?
Bob Kevoian
We've been talking a little bit about shop class and. And kiln day in art class. We all experienced this and I hope schools are still doing. And some do shop class, some don't, which is sad.
Kristi Lee
But now it's in the VOC vocational part of the school like you have to specially.
Bob Kevoian
It's nice to have some. Some skills.
Guest Singer
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I took woodworking for several years. There's metal shop of course, but also there we did have a kiln.
Tom Griswold
That's right. You are a woodworker. You announced that on this show one time.
Bob Kevoian
We did. But the kiln was. If anything in the entire school was dangerous. I think it might have been the lathes and the saws, but the kiln was like a practically police taped off. You couldn't get near it. And we discussed making. I believe. Josh, you made an ashtray. Yeah, an ashtray. Nice, nice. This comes to us.
Tom Griswold
I regret not taking shop class. I wish I had done that. I did not. It was available, Mr. Geier. It was available. Did you. I just didn't take it.
Bob Kevoian
Did you have mechanics class?
Tom Griswold
We had it, but I never did not take it.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, called auto shop, I think.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, we didn't have that.
Tom Griswold
They had. Yeah, they had like a garage out back. People would pull in their. Pull in their cars and.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, well, there are some places where they essentially take an old car and turn it into a beautiful car and then they sell it to somebody. That's a great year of fun stuff.
Tom Griswold
Is there a high school anywhere in the country that offers funeral services?
Josh Arnold
What a high school?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Wait a minute.
Bob Kevoian
Wow. What a good question.
Tom Griswold
You know, introductory to embalming and.
Bob Kevoian
Right.
Tom Griswold
I mean it's good business. It's nothing but a growth business. Am I right? Well, you're aren't your nieces or nephews?
Kristi Lee
Niece. Was. Yeah. My niece is my first cousin.
Tom Griswold
There you go.
Bob Kevoian
I'll just Move forward here.
Kristi Lee
My high school had a fight. A flight simulator. I got to do that.
Tom Griswold
What?
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I was in aerospace. That was my track.
Bob Kevoian
That's cool.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, it was really cool.
Bob Kevoian
How old you have to be to take flying lessons?
Kristi Lee
I don't know. I think pretty. You can do it pretty young.
Tom Griswold
Like 35.
Bob Kevoian
So that's interesting.
Kristi Lee
No, you really can do it pretty young. I know some of my friends kids have already gotten licensed and we get
Tom Griswold
a story every now and then about an 18 year old girl who flew around the world.
Bob Kevoian
That's cool. But in this case, this is a nice letter from J.D. he said, In 1973, I made my mom a ceramic ashtray. She used it all the way until her death at age 85.
Kristi Lee
Jesus.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's a nice memory.
Bob Kevoian
Not have read this one like he
Kristi Lee
contributed to his mother's day.
Bob Kevoian
JD still has the ashtray.
Tom Griswold
We circled right back to funeral services.
Bob Kevoian
Would thank you for taking the time. Time to write. I. I guess the. The. The slant we took on this was. You probably don't see them making ashtrays in art class anymore.
Kristi Lee
Probably not.
Bob Kevoian
I'm guessing. But that leads to another letter.
Kristi Lee
I never got to take art class. I was asked to leave.
Bob Kevoian
What?
Kristi Lee
Did you hear that story?
Bob Kevoian
She made a crack pipe?
Kristi Lee
No, no, no, no, no. Our art department was overfilled. And the teacher looked at me and said, you know, I really don't think you're gonna get much out of this. You might want to take an extra lit class. So I took a literature class.
Bob Kevoian
You should be able to take both. This comes to us.
Tom Griswold
I got kicked out of typing class for being a smart aleck. Can you imagine?
Bob Kevoian
And what'd you do? Type. I want to go take bodies and something.
Tom Griswold
Something about a sleeping dog and a fox jumping period.
Bob Kevoian
This comes to us from Robbie. He listens to the show on Spotify. Robbie, he goes, my art teacher was Mrs. Pfister. This is by the way, Robbie lives in Missouri. I don't believe I would make clay pipes in art class. They were none the wiser. My stoner friends loved me. Also the shop teacher, Mr. Dozier.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
I would make high quality wood consoles. However, they had false bottoms where I could put my quote unquote stash. Well, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Robbie. It's interesting. We were talking about in the book Going all the Way, Dan Wakefield, his character makes a stand for books that he can be in his bed and prop up books and or girly magazines and they're none the wiser. You see so he could.
Tom Griswold
Girly magazine.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. You're. I think probably you're in the 50s. What were the girly magazines? There were those. Was it swank or.
Tom Griswold
There are a lot of offshoots. Yeah. Playboy was ahead of its time. Right when it came out there.
Kristi Lee
Did they come out.
Tom Griswold
There weren't any high class. I want. I want to say 59 or something like.
Bob Kevoian
But I think the magazines were really dirty back then.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, I think that was. That was a.
Kristi Lee
But the detective magazines kind of dirty. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Scantily clad women.
Kristi Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
Being threatened. Well, this letter speaks to you, Tom and shop class. Hello, Bob at Tom Show. What do you think Tom's old shop teacher, Mr. Woodall. Woodall would give for a grade on the doghouse he built with his children?
Bob Kevoian
A great question. The answer would be probably a D. That is not my finest work.
Tom Griswold
And this is Tom the truck driver. He said, I love the show and it doesn't seem like a very hostile work environment at all. There's. The last part was sarcasm.
Bob Kevoian
This is from Mr. Rigby in Salt Lake City, Utah. He goes shop class. My teacher had a talent. If he caught you messing around, he would heave a block of wood across the room. He was capable of throwing two blocks at the same time and often could hit both kids.
Kristi Lee
Oh, my goodness.
Bob Kevoian
Sometimes in the head.
Josh Arnold
Damn.
Bob Kevoian
The last sentence reads, great times. God, I had forgotten about that. That is exactly Mr. Woodell would heave. If you were screwing around, he would heave a chunk of wood at you. He would not go for the. Yeah, but you know something? We deserved it.
Tom Griswold
I think we'd be a different country. We've not gotten rid of corporal punishment. Am I right on this? Yeah. I got wax in school. Two wax.
Bob Kevoian
Three, apparently. Apparently not enough. Back to you. You have some over there.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom Show, I've noticed that Tom is no longer flamboyantly waving and slurping on four to six wooden stirring sticks. At any point during the show, he seems to be preoccupied with his new wedding band.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, it's both.
Tom Griswold
You often talk about the wedding band tattoo. Not sure that's the route Tom should take, but he could invest in a sharpie and try it out.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I do. I spin this thing around.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. You're not used to it.
Bob Kevoian
Not used to it.
Tom Griswold
That's Kim in Georgia.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, but I still have my stirring sticks. Now I have a stirring paddles and stirring sticks.
Tom Griswold
By the way, it is really something to see in person when Tom puts wooden stirring sticks in his mouth and sucks the liquid off of. That's really something.
Bob Kevoian
I asked a question yesterday. If you're a cop and you pull somebody over, you have to tell them you're a cop. That was not the question.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Bob Kevoian
If you see certain bumper stickers, does it bias you in any way? Because I. If I were a police officer, it would. I would immediately if I saw certain bumper stickers. That ticket's coming no matter what.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
This is anonymous police officer in large Midwestern state. He goes. One of my favorite pastimes when it comes to bumper stickers. If I see a guy with the bumper sticker that says only gay cops pull me over, I make a point to be as flamboyant as possible as I give them their ticket.
Tom Griswold
I haven't seen that bumper sticker. I haven't either.
Bob Kevoian
That's just asking for it. Oh, no kidding. That is.
Tom Griswold
That's.
Bob Kevoian
That's wrong in about six ways.
Tom Griswold
I might like to invest in a couple of those, see what happens.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, God. As Josh pointed out. What your. What is your favorite? The. What is that one? The piece. What is. Yeah, the coexist.
Tom Griswold
Yes, sir.
Bob Kevoian
As they run you off the road, they cut you off and.
Tom Griswold
Isn't there one. It's not a bumper sticker, but it's a metal actual attachment to the. It's got a fish with legs or something.
Bob Kevoian
There's a whole bunch of variations on the fish thing.
Tom Griswold
Like Darwinism, I guess. Yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And there is a. Obviously we've all seen the car that has 30 bumper stickers on it. They. And then they all just get erased in my head. You can't. You can't. You can't read all of them. Well, you got one over there, Christie?
Kristi Lee
I do? Yes. This is from Mick in Detroit Metro. Detroit. We were talking yesterday about the times to mow your lawn. He said, I live in a typical suburban subdivision. I'm not sure what the local laws are, but my personal rule. Weekday mowing starts anytime after 9. Saturday mowing anytime after 10am Sunday, no mowing.
Tom Griswold
That's a good. That's a good rule. Sunday should be no mowing.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
At all. It's the Lord's day of rest.
Bob Kevoian
Not in my neighborhood.
Tom Griswold
Oh, really?
Bob Kevoian
There are crews there all the time
Kristi Lee
and they're cruise there all the time. That's what I was going to say, first of all.
Tom Griswold
What?
Bob Kevoian
My next door neighbor does his own lawn.
Tom Griswold
What kind of. What kind of crews are in your neighborhood? Although. Like. Like lighting power? No, no.
Bob Kevoian
They have a little lawnmower. Do you mow your Own lawn.
Tom Griswold
I do not.
Kristi Lee
No, my husband does.
Tom Griswold
Goodness, no.
Kristi Lee
He mows our lawn.
Bob Kevoian
And Josh, you do? You. You do.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
Tom Griswold
You got the electric.
Bob Kevoian
I'll never not mow my own lawn.
Kristi Lee
Andy likes it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I've been looking at that. That electric lawnmower maybe to do some trimming and it's a gadget. I'm. I'm intrigued. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I see. Yeah. No, I. Those hours are way too late.
Kristi Lee
Late? No, people sleep in on the.
Bob Kevoian
No. You can start mowing grass at 7:30 on a weekday.
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Bob Kevoian
Wow.
Kristi Lee
Glad you don't live in my neighborhood.
Tom Griswold
If you start mowing grass at 7:30 in the morning, I'm going to circulate a petition.
Bob Kevoian
I don't.
Tom Griswold
But it'd be okay if somebody got out and mow the grass? Sure. 7:30 and woke you up.
Bob Kevoian
I'm up.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Pat you.
Guest Listener
Please don't mow your grass on my day off. Cause I'm relaxing, drinking beer and watching golf. I'm gonna jam out the Sting and that song about Nabokov. So please don't mow your grass on my day off.
Tom Griswold
Don't stand, don't stand.
Guest Listener
You can mow your grass when I'm working on a Monday, but don't dare cut your lawn on a Sunday. That's my listening to music and having fun day. And like the bangle said, I might. I don't have to run, Dave. I'm gonna day drink on my day off. I'll make you a cocktail tail too, but it might be a Molotov. I want to spend the day carefree. So don't stand, so don't stand. So don't stand so close to me. So please don't mow your grass or
Josh Arnold
I'm going to have to kick your ass.
Guest Listener
Please don't mow your grass my day off.
Kristi Lee
Lovely.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, thank you, pet.
Kristi Lee
You're welcome.
Bob Kevoian
You know, did you ever have the.
Tom Griswold
There are teams of men at my point, at some point in my neighborhood during the week that are. Everybody gets their lawn mowed. It seems like the same time.
Kristi Lee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
So I don't know why I was.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, they got huge trucks with.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Two or three really nice.
Tom Griswold
The zero turn.
Bob Kevoian
Zero turn. And those things, they scare me because there'll be one. You're driving long and there's a guy coming right for the. Oh my God, I'm gonna hit him. And then he turned. It's got the zero turn. Yep, that's. Those are really cool. What if you sneeze though, right when you're at the road's edge. Are you going to. Okay.
Tom Griswold
That could happen.
Bob Kevoian
You've mentioned this before, and I don't know if you ever had them. We were talking about bumper stickers. Have. Have you ever had or seen the ass, gas or grass bumper sticker?
Tom Griswold
I've never seen it. Personally, I think my dad. The first time I heard that. About that saying. My dad said it.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. It was a saying in the 70s.
Tom Griswold
It was a long time ago.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I guess it was. If you're a hitchhiker.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. Which you don't see much anymore.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Yeah, true.
Tom Griswold
You know, I hitchhiked once.
Kristi Lee
Thank God for Uber.
Tom Griswold
I bailed hay one morning in July in central Ohio and I thought I was going to die. So I quit at lunch and hitchhiked home. And I'm not making any of this up. A very nice gentleman hairdresser picked me up.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And we had a lovely time. He took me right to my door. Tom. He was very interested in where I live.
Kristi Lee
I bet it was nice that he
Tom Griswold
would engage me in a conversation. I'd had an especially rough morning.
Bob Kevoian
And you. But that was. That was the last time you hitchhiked.
Tom Griswold
He could tell. Yes, but certainly not by choice. I. I would have been. I'm still open to hitchhiking. You don't know, maybe it's me on the side of the road, hitchhiking. Got my thumb out.
Bob Kevoian
Okay. Pretty scary.
Tom Griswold
The Leather Express.
Bob Kevoian
Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?
Tom Griswold
No. I don't think I would either. I don't know. I might. You know if she's hot. No. No.
Bob Kevoian
I don't think I'd like the same attitude that guy had.
Tom Griswold
Right.
Bob Kevoian
Because you were kind of a hot kid.
Tom Griswold
Oh, he's hot.
Bob Kevoian
As a teen, you were kind of pudgy. Is there. Is there a name for that? In that. In that sphere?
Tom Griswold
Big for my. Big. For my age. I don't know. Maybe a junior porker. I don't know. Something like that. Maybe.
Bob Kevoian
Cub.
Tom Griswold
A cub. Yeah. Instead of a bear. A cub.
Bob Kevoian
I blame myself.
Tom Griswold
A cubby bear. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I. That ass, gas or grass thing was sort of a. I don't know, like a. A trope. I don't know. But I. I have never actually seen the bumper sticker. No.
Tom Griswold
Isn't it in a song?
Bob Kevoian
Is it.
Guest Listener
It's some old song. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I want to say.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What? I think so.
Bob Kevoian
Maybe I'll. We'll have to. We'll have to find out.

Main Theme:
This episode of B&T Extra from The BOB & TOM Show (June 4, 2026) is a playful, nostalgia-filled conversation among the regular crew—Bob Kevoian, Tom Griswold, Kristi Lee, and Josh Arnold—centered around humorous listener emails, memories of high school shop and art class, the lost art of making ashtrays, lawn mowing etiquette, and the quirky culture of bumper stickers and hitchhiking. The signature banter and comedic observations ground the episode, complemented by listener contributions and original musical interludes.
“She comes into my car and says, ‘Oh my God, you’re gonna think I’m a whore.’” (02:50)
"If anything in the entire school was dangerous... the kiln was like a practically police taped off. You couldn't get near it." (05:05)
“Please don't mow your grass on my day off / Cause I’m relaxing, drinking beer and watching golf…I want to spend the day carefree, so don’t stand, so don’t stand, so don’t stand so close to me...” (14:45-15:53)
Bob Kevoian on Dangerous Kilns:
“If anything in the entire school was dangerous…it might have been the lathes and the saws, but the kiln was like a practically police taped off.” (05:05)
Anonymous Officer on Bumper Stickers:
“If I see a guy with the bumper sticker that says ‘only gay cops pull me over,’ I make a point to be as flamboyant as possible as I give them their ticket.” (12:06)
Mowing Parody Song:
“Please don’t mow your grass on my day off / ‘Cause I’m relaxing, drinking beer, and watching golf.” (14:45-15:53)
Tom's Hitchhiking Adventure:
“A very nice gentleman hairdresser picked me up and took me right to my door. He was very interested in where I lived.” (17:03)
Lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek, banter-heavy; the hosts oscillate between genuine nostalgia, absurd hypothetical questions, and comedic exaggeration—playing off each other with running gags and good-natured ribbing. Listener contributions and musical interludes keep the energy lively and inclusive.
This episode is a quintessential BOB & TOM Show extra: irreverently funny, richly anecdotal, and warmly inclusive of their quirky community of listeners. Whether they're reminiscing about art class disasters, debating the politics of lawn mowing, or unpacking the social science of bumper stickers, the hosts draw laughs and camaraderie from the minor absurdities of American suburban life.
