This episode of the BOB & TOM Show Extra delivers the signature blend of sharp-witted banter, playful irreverence, and meandering comic conversations.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Inaugural Florida Man Games

• Description of the Event:
  • Held in St. Augustine, Florida.
  • Dozens of locals don tank tops and cutoff shorts for events including:
    • Wrestling while holding beers
    • Pool noodle duels in mud-filled pools
    • Sprints to “evade police officers”
    • Theft simulation relays, involving the carrying of stolen items like bicycles, copper pipes, and catalytic converters.
  • Advertised as “the most insane athletic showdown on earth”; tickets sold at $45.
• Comic Commentary:
  • Meth use “encouraged” as a joke—“Helps things a little bit” (04:05, Bob Kevoian).
  • Satirical mention of a “white collar division” for tax evasion.
  • Speculation about whether there are professional “Florida men” competing, or if they're all amateurs due to “the really good competitors” being “locked up in county” (07:03, Bob Kevoian).
• Tangent: The group humorously discusses hosting a remote broadcast from Key West and visiting Hemingway’s house to “pet a six-toed cat” (08:17, Chick McGee; 08:20, Bob Kevoian).

2. Bail & Jail Stories

• How Bail Works:
  • Explanation: Pay 10% of the set bond to a bondsman (e.g., $1,000 for a $10,000 bond), and the money is non-refundable if the defendant shows up (04:40–05:05).
• Personal Anecdotes:
  • Bob recounts bailing out a friend on Christmas Eve: “Plenty. It was also going up there” (05:05, Bob Kevoian).
  • Pat was bailed out of jail by a comedy club owner: “Public intoxication and interfering with an investigation” (06:23, Pat Carlini).
  • Christy and Chick ponder whom they would help out, leading to comic distrust and jabs among the group (05:12, Chick; 05:17, Bob).
• Notable Quote:
  • “Anybody who comes back at me with that reply, I mean, is it stir for a while?” (05:26, Chick McGee).

3. Pond Hill Farm, Goat Catapults & Exploding Gnomes

• Pond Hill Farm Visit:
  • Listeners write in about this Michigan attraction, known for catapulting melons at goats, a tunnel of trees, and “blowing up a giant gnome with a gun” (08:42, Chick; 08:44, Bob).
  • Bob confirms, “I have, many times. That’s the place where they have the catapults that you can shoot the melons at the goats” (09:14, Bob Kevoian).
• Goat Safety Concerns:
  • The group jokes—sometimes feigning concern for the goats’ welfare:
    • “What keeps you from shooting a whole melon at a goat... and killing it?” (09:33, Chick McGee).
    • “You’re just lofting food in...” (10:14, Bob Kevoian).
  • Eventually, Bob assures, “The animals eat the melon once in a row.” (11:45, Bob Kevoian).
• Blowing Up Gnomes:
  • Apparently, the farm uses dynamite or similar explosives to destroy lawn gnomes:“They put dynamite underneath and blow them up and people cheer” (12:15, Chick McGee).

4. World Record: Hugging a Tree for 16 Hours

• The Record:
  • Faith Patricia Aricott, Uganda, hugged a tree for 16 hours, 6 seconds (15:41, Chick).
  • Rules: No breaks, no releasing arms, standing the entire time. No bathroom breaks allowed.
  • Purpose: Raise awareness for tree planting and conservation.
• Hosts’ Reactions:
  • Light-hearted musing on hygiene logistics:
    • “So she just pissed all over the tree then? Evidently.” (16:27, Chick).
    • “She wore a diaper, obviously.” (17:09, Christy).
    • The group riffs on adult diaper brands and durability (“Poise makes a nice product” – 17:24, Christy).
  • Skepticism about the value of the feat:
    • “What does she get for doing this?” (17:52, Bob).
    • “She gets a world record, Tom.” (17:55, Christy).
  • Comic suggestions: Restaurant called “You Gotta Eat That” in Uganda (18:18, Pat; 18:21, Bob).
• Notable Quote:
  • “The tree chose me.” (19:03, Bob Kevoian, quoting the record-setter)

[Chick McGee]

Thanks, Ashley, for being here.

[Bob Kevoian]

You are joining us in the studio. It is comedian Michael Loftus. Michael, good morning, sir.

[Chick McGee]

I thank you. Good morning to you all. Good morning.

[Bob Kevoian]

I tell you what, I recently bought some. Some artwork off of Chuck Jones.

[Chick McGee]

They're like classical masterpieces, but all with the Warner Brothers characters in them. It's great. Like Bugs Bunny touching the hand of, you know, Daffy Duck of God.

[Bob Kevoian]

Does he have the last. Do they have the last supper?

[Chick McGee]

I think he does. All the guys on one side of the table. That's right. Foghorn Leghorn, Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite, Samuel. Judas hates Jesus.

[Bob Kevoian]

I assume Bugs is Jesus. Oh, without saying, Bugs would have to be Jesus. Does this exist or are we just speculating?

[Chick McGee]

Do we know? I'm speculating, but I tell you, I'm so glad I came in for the funniest thing I've ever said in my life. The Bob and Tom show is still trying to wake up. In the meantime, more Bob and Tom extra. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Hello, Christy.

[Christy Taylor]

Hi, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh, Pat, Ace. I'm Chick. Tom is in the building. We just don't know where. He's frying up some baloney the very first. That's what inaugural means, right?

[Pat Carlini]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

The inaugural Florida Man Games took Place over the weekend.

[Pat Carlini]

Well, it did.

[Chick McGee]

And here are some for instances.

[Christy Taylor]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Dozens of participants from across the state put on tank tops and cut off shorts to compete in events such as wrestling while holding pictures of beer. Pool noodle duels. Oh, that's not easy to say. Mud filled and. Oh, I wasn't done. Pool noodle duels in a mud filled inflatable pool. And a sprint to evade police officers. Theft simulation relay wherein competitors raced while carrying a pair of bicycles. Okay. This is a theft simulation. They carried a pair of bicycles. Copper pipes and catalytic converters. They know what they're stealing. It was called the most insane athletic showdown on earth. Spectators paid $45 a ticket to watch the competition.

[Pat Carlini]

Well, that's ridiculous.

[Chick McGee]

No word on how many people attended the festivities.

[Bob Kevoian]

Meth is encouraged, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

Does that help?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Helps things a little bit with the mount. The math.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. They have a white collar division. You work on tax evasion procedures.

[Chick McGee]

That's interesting.

[Bob Kevoian]

The winners get bail money, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

Way, I. I never understood how bail works.

[Christy Taylor]

Well, you give somebody money and then they get you out of jail, but you never get your money back, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, get it back. If. If you say you're bail and it's 10%.

[Chick McGee]

Right?

[Christy Taylor]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

It's like a. A $10,000 bond. You only have to give him a thousand dollars.

[Christy Taylor]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

You give the. You give the bondsman $1,000 and then he guarantees that you'll show up.

[Chick McGee]

And then he gives somebody $10,000.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, he. If you don't show up, but then they'll track you down.

[Christy Taylor]

His $10,000 back, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, but they, they keep that money that you give them up front. I know this because I had to bail a friend out of jail on Christmas Eve once.

[Christy Taylor]

How much that cost you?

[Bob Kevoian]

Plenty. It was also going up there and.

[Christy Taylor]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Would you bail me out of jail if I called you or would you act like it was a crank call and hang up?

[Bob Kevoian]

It depends. What, what are we talking about? What's the. What's the crime here?

[Chick McGee]

I don't think that enters into it. I don't.

[Christy Taylor]

You're going to judge him by.

[Pat Carlini]

You know what? Whatever. You got your answer?

[Chick McGee]

I think I did. Anybody who comes back at me with that reply, I mean, is it stir for a while?

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, I know you. It could be capital murder. I mean, the bail could be substantial.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think it would be cap. It might be capital murder.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about. Maybe so.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I have indeed bailed someone out of jail.

[Christy Taylor]

I know.

[Chick McGee]

Why do you keep saying that like it's.

[Bob Kevoian]

We can't believe it because you guys have it. How do you know that as you reveal Anybody out of jail?

[Chick McGee]

No, I had an uncle with a gun at a Christmas dinner party.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you bail him out of jail?

[Chick McGee]

No, I think my. I think my grandmother bailed him out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, did you bail yourself out of jail, Pat?

[Pat Carlini]

No, the comedy club owner did down in Charlotte.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow. Once again, 1500 bucks, I think.

[Christy Taylor]

1500.

[Bob Kevoian]

Was that the full bail or was that the. Just the fee to get you out?

[Pat Carlini]

That was the bail. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And once again, your crime was one.

[Pat Carlini]

Public intoxication and interfering with an investigation.

[Bob Kevoian]

And because you weren't even driving the vehicle, but you were mouthing off at the police office.

[Pat Carlini]

Exactly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nice work. Yeah.

[Pat Carlini]

Smart.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I think all of us are changed. I always thought I could never picture Pat being that way. But last week, after he came unhinged on. On Josh in the break room, I don't think any of us. Potty mouth on me will ever, ever be the same.

[Pat Carlini]

We. We caught a glimpse, didn't we?

[Chick McGee]

We sure did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Have you seen any of the events in the Florida Games here?

[Chick McGee]

Have we seen.

[Pat Carlini]

I talked about some of them.

[Bob Kevoian]

Talked about them.

[Christy Taylor]

I haven't looked at them.

[Chick McGee]

Are they pool noodle duel in the pool filled with mud. Mud.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. The problem is the. The really good competitors are all locked up in county, so you can't. You're not getting the. The really good guys that are tremendously successful at that.

[Chick McGee]

These are all the amateurs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. They have a meth tent, by the way, just right there in the side of the. On the sidelines. Oh, I love the fact that the catalytic converters are being stolen.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Whoever came up with this new. Knows what he's talking about. Copper pipes and. And catalytic converters. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Does it say where they did it in Florida?

[Chick McGee]

Well, it might have been in the middle of the state. I'm not sure. Yeah, right in the heart of Florida.

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah. Somewhere.

[Chick McGee]

Somewhere around Orlando, I think. So I would.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, I'm looking at. Oh, it's St. Augustine. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, well, that's why that sounds.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah. They would have been really well dressed that had been in Miami. Of course, the folks there ought to dress up, but. Yeah, yeah, it's St. Augustine, all right.

[Chick McGee]

Would it be possible for me to broadcast from Key west during the lookalike?

[Pat Carlini]

Yes, but why not just go down and enjoy it?

[Christy Taylor]

Why don't we all go?

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now we're talking. Well, he won't go.

[Christy Taylor]

We're doing all these remotes. That'd be fun.

[Chick McGee]

He won't. Would you go?

[Pat Carlini]

Key west is awesome.

[Chick McGee]

With me and pet a six toed cat.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'd love to do that at Hemingway's house.

[Chick McGee]

Sure, why not?

[Bob Kevoian]

I see. Is that sports?

[Chick McGee]

And see the toilet and the. And the Easy Rider raffle rack.

[Pat Carlini]

Oh, okay. Never mind.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Tom. I'm listening. I'm getting ready for work. This is from Rebecca. I live right near Harbor Springs. I was just there the other day at the place you're talking about with the catapults and the goats.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pond Hill Farm.

[Chick McGee]

They also at Pond Hill Farm, blow up a giant gnome with a gun. It's kind of like dynamite that they use to blow the gnome up. There's also a tunnel of trees. I love Harbor Springs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

I listen to you guys on the radio every morning.

[Christy Taylor]

Gnomes are very popular.

[Chick McGee]

Gnomes are both for outdoor negatively and.

[Christy Taylor]

Positively like lawn art. Gnomes are huge.

[Bob Kevoian]

I see.

[Chick McGee]

But you've been to a Pond Hill farm.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have, many times. That's the place where they have the catapults that you can shoot the melons at the goats.

[Chick McGee]

And you've done that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've done that. Absolutely.

[Christy Taylor]

You've done that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Of course you are.

[Pat Carlini]

Well, that's fun. Good.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've got photographs of it. We should see some.

[Chick McGee]

We got to put on the goats.

[Christy Taylor]

Ever catch the melons?

[Chick McGee]

Did you ever hit. Did you ever.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're not like dogs.

[Pat Carlini]

Ever knock one out.

[Chick McGee]

What's. What keeps you from shooting a whole melon? A goat. Goat. And hitting him in the head and killing it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again. You're. You're launching them in big arcs. Yeah.

[Pat Carlini]

Somebody could get hurt. So the goat can look up and go, oh, I better step five feet to the left.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's much like a.

[Chick McGee]

It looks like that melon's getting larger. But being a goat, I don't know why. Clunk.

[Christy Taylor]

Don't goats have horns, though? They could land right there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that'd be. That'd be a free lunch.

[Pat Carlini]

That's a trick. Yeah. Should be a free lunch.

[Bob Kevoian]

They have a. They have a delicious bottle.

[Chick McGee]

Where is the humane society in this damn thing?

[Bob Kevoian]

You're not aiming at the go. The goats are out on the field.

[Chick McGee]

I don't care what your intention is. You're still shooting things at animals.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're just lofting food in and you're.

[Chick McGee]

Giving them a pass because it's in Michigan. Small boy. Mother held my hand.

[Bob Kevoian]

And delicious, delicious lunch. You'd like it, Christy. They have wine and they have nice bottle dressings you can take with you. You'd enjoy it.

[Pat Carlini]

Bottle dressing fan. You know, we all use those pouched dressings.

[Chick McGee]

Here's the thing. Before Rome and eat in a nice restaurant. I want to know if they have bottled dressings. I can.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can buy it and take it.

[Pat Carlini]

Is your dressing in a box?

[Bob Kevoian]

My.

[Chick McGee]

My friend Josh, ma', am, would like to ask you a question.

[Bob Kevoian]

Could I have my dressing in an envelope?

[Pat Carlini]

I'm sorry. This Thousand island does not taste boggled to me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, you tap. You can take. You can take it away as you leave. Never mind.

[Chick McGee]

Is this pouch dressing? I never. I thought this was a nice place of trying to kill goats. Apparently, it's half ass. Did you at any point say, what are you people doing? Why are we shooting things at goats?

[Bob Kevoian]

You're not. The goats are way out of the. You're lofting them out there.

[Pat Carlini]

And what about the melonless in the world who have to sit back and watch you people catapult? Nice ripe melons, starving people into a field.

[Chick McGee]

You're wasting food, you're trying to kill animals and all bets are off because it's Michigan.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, the animals eat the melon once in a row. Really?

[Pat Carlini]

Why don't the people eat the melon?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sure if you'd like melon with your salad and ballad bottle dressing, I'm sure they would offer that for you. I'd like the melon. Could I please have some of your Pond Hill farm bottle dressing?

[Pat Carlini]

There is something to be said about catapulting a cantaloupe. They're close. Those words are close.

[Christy Taylor]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I'm also concerned about. They're blowing up gnomes with something that could be C4.

[Pat Carlini]

When you first said that, I thought, oh, they're inflating some kind of giant. No, no, no. They're exploding it.

[Chick McGee]

They have giant gnomes, I'm guessing made of plaster, and they put dynamite underneath the. And blow them up and people chew.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have not witnessed that. I.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you're off the hook for that one. I guess. You're still trying to kill a goat, though.

[Bob Kevoian]

And we're talking about this because catapults were made illegal somewhere in England, but they're legal in the good old usa.

[Pat Carlini]

And we found out that they. In England, they're just slingshots or whatever. Not the full crazy catapult, which would just be fantastic to have.

[Bob Kevoian]

You go up there, you park, you. You know, you walk over before lunch. And you can. You can feed some animals and you launch some lemons.

[Pat Carlini]

Don't get me wrong, I'd absolutely launch a lemon.

[Bob Kevoian]

You ever see a goat or a melon? The goats go, it's a lemon. I wanted a cantaloupe. Get on there. Dumb goats. I see. Okay, what else is happening in sports? I'm sorry? I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I'm on Pond Hill Farms website and I'm shipping some sort of canned food to you.

[Pat Carlini]

I go to a place almost every fall where they shoot. They have a pumpkin cannon.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love those.

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah, those are. That's fun, right? That is fun. Yeah, but they're. No, there's nothing living where they're shooting.

[Christy Taylor]

Exactly.

[Chick McGee]

You're not taking any. Any soul.

[Bob Kevoian]

You're shooting, then they're not having any fun.

[Pat Carlini]

Release the goats.

[Bob Kevoian]

My Pat, I think you were there with me. I was. I think so. We've had lunch there many times. I've got a bunch of pictures. I was just looking at pictures of that place the other day. I'll see if you're in any of them. I'm sorry. Chick Magee, back to you on the sports page.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Pat Carlini]

We have many bottled dressings.

[Chick McGee]

You know they're bottled.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm gonna get some and not share it with you.

[Chick McGee]

Jeff, There are bottled dressings.

[Pat Carlini]

Oh, no. Where can I ever get a bottle of dressing?

[Bob Kevoian]

Anywhere. I'm sure that I. I'm sure you've got ranch in your.

[Chick McGee]

They have Pond Hill cup bandanas and fleece blankets. A pumpkin mask.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it's a goat with a broken neck.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's got a little. He's got one of those things left.

[Pat Carlini]

Oh, that'd be amazing if the goats had neck braces on. They're really injured, but they're out there still.

[Chick McGee]

They're still.

[Pat Carlini]

They can't help themselves.

[Bob Kevoian]

You want to eat, don't you?

[Chick McGee]

How is this still going on? It's fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

You gotta go.

[Chick McGee]

It sounds insane.

[Bob Kevoian]

We'll go up there.

[Chick McGee]

I've got a feeling I'm going to have to go.

[Pat Carlini]

Are you guys able to look at a person in a neck brace and.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not laugh out loud?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Pat Carlini]

It's nearly as.

[Christy Taylor]

I feel bad for them. You never know what they.

[Pat Carlini]

I immediately think they're faking. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I always think Chappaquiddick, where Teddy Kennedy shows up with the neck brace and the tie on.

[Chick McGee]

Which is funnier, the neck brace or the voice box?

[Pat Carlini]

The neck brace, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, so you can fake the neck, you jackass. Which could you possibly go to?

[Pat Carlini]

A sports story. I'm not. I'm not saying the voice box isn't. Is. Isn't there. There is humor there.

[Chick McGee]

Not much, because odds are he smoked to get there. Right?

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what's cool is when they smoke through the voice box.

[Pat Carlini]

That's really.

[Bob Kevoian]

Mind your own business.

[Pat Carlini]

What else can they take from me?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, I still spoke.

[Chick McGee]

Could I still be on the air?

[Pat Carlini]

I want to be mostly machine.

[Bob Kevoian]

Could you. We can't hear you.

[Pat Carlini]

Fortunately.

[Chick McGee]

This is a world record. Everybody got that?

[Christy Taylor]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

A woman from Uganda has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest time to hug a tree.

[Pat Carlini]

Oh, no.

[Chick McGee]

Ms. Faith Patricia Aricott wrapped her arms around a tree trunk for 16 hours. 16 hours, 6 seconds to set the first record. She's 29 years old. Attempted the challenge to encourage others to plant trees and to highlight the need for humans to protect them.

[Pat Carlini]

We can just do that.

[Chick McGee]

But the only good goats are dead goats. She says here.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, man.

[Chick McGee]

She was not permitted any breaks. Her arms could not be released from the tree at any point, and she was required to stand for the entire duration of the record attempt. So did she get a bathroom break? No. So she just pissed all over the tree then? Evidently.

[Pat Carlini]

And potentially crudded. Right there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right there on the roots, Doogie.

[Chick McGee]

Right there on the roof.

[Christy Taylor]

Crudded. I've been sitting on that forever.

[Pat Carlini]

We used to say that as kids all the time.

[Bob Kevoian]

It says here this was the third time in a month she attempted to set the record. The first time had to be cut short due to a thunderstorm.

[Pat Carlini]

Well, what's the big deal there? Everybody knows in a thunderstorm you just hide under the biggest tree you can find.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, right. That's just common sense, Boy Scout stuff.

[Bob Kevoian]

The tree has a rough surface, and it cut into my skin, but I had to keep holding on. No bathroom breaks.

[Christy Taylor]

She wore a diaper, obviously.

[Pat Carlini]

Why don't we ask the tree how it feels about this whole thing?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. I don't think she's got a diaper on, Christy.

[Christy Taylor]

How do you know? Like, she could wear. They are very.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're very slender.

[Christy Taylor]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Taylor]

Poise makes a nice product.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who?

[Christy Taylor]

Poise.

[Chick McGee]

P O, I S. Oh, oh, oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Poise.

[Chick McGee]

It's an adult diaper.

[Christy Taylor]

It's an adult diaper.

[Pat Carlini]

And they actually say. Like, at one point on the commercial I saw, they were like, you. You need to. You need poise in your pants or something. That is awfully close for. I mean. And they weren't trying to make a joke.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, she looks like a sweet lady here. She is hugging the tree. Yikes.

[Chick McGee]

There she is hugging the tree.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sorry. What does she get for doing this?

[Christy Taylor]

She gets a world record, Tom.

[Pat Carlini]

She gets to be talked about on the radio.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah, no, she. Look, we'll plant trees.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Pat Carlini]

Literally.

[Chick McGee]

Did he just look right at me and said, what does she get for this? There's absolutely not even a hint. Hint of what she got for this in the store put together.

[Pat Carlini]

And that happened in Uganda. Yeah, I almost opened up a restaurant there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Carlini]

It was going to be called, you got to eat that.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got to finish that.

[Pat Carlini]

You going to eat that.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got. He got to finish that.

[Chick McGee]

I like that.

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah, that's probably better. You got. You got to finish that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. I think it would have been cool if it was one of those wizard of Oz Oz trees. God, those scared the hell out of me. Yeah, me too.

[Pat Carlini]

How would you like it if I plucked something off of you? Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

If you want to be scared today, look this up. This is from my childhood. It was called Lucy's Toy Shop. And they had Mr. Tree. And the kids would wake up Mr. Tree every morning.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hello, ma'.

[Chick McGee]

Am. Wake up. Good morning, Mr. Tree. And he'd click his eyes. It's the most terrifying face on a tree you've ever seen in your life.

[Pat Carlini]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, she's quoted as saying, the tree chose me.

[Christy Taylor]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Carlini]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Same too, huh?

[Bob Kevoian]

That's very Zen. How about very BS Ish, if that's a term. Well, congratulations, ma'. Am.

[Chick McGee]

Ma' am.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hugging a tree. Okay. But, yeah, I. I'm sure you'd soil yourself after.

[Chick McGee]

Well, yeah, you'd have to. Sixteen hours, probably.

[Pat Carlini]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You cannot go to the bathroom for 16 hours.

[Pat Carlini]

No. No.

[Bob Kevoian]

How long's in a diet adult diaper good for?

[Christy Taylor]

I don't know. I've never worn one.

[Chick McGee]

I guess I've had mine on since Saturday.

[Pat Carlini]

Wow. I mean, it's gotta be heavy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Taylor]

Until it is. It would just keep getting heavier until it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I remember when my. When my kids were little and they'd have. Before they had the really quality swim diapers, and they'd go in the bed and then you'd get out, you'd have this diaper that looked like it had four footballs.
