Episode Flow and Tone

The show is an off-the-cuff, rapid fire, ensemble comedy hang filled with tangents, riffs, and punchlines. There’s a friendly (if combative) rhythm as comics step on each other’s premises, spin out new ones, and layer inside humor. The conversation veers quickly from topic to topic, but always in the comedic spirit.

Do not make me devolve back to that guy that so many clones wish that I still was. And do not embarrass the entire country. Now I can go back. I can get there fast. Lose tonight and you got a real problem. Do not blow it.

[Bob Kevoian]

The Jim Rome show podcast.

[Tom Griswold]

You've been warned.

[Bob Kevoian]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Josh Arnold]

Anyway, called Dr. Kevorkian the other day wasn't home, got his machine.

[Bob Kevoian]

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

[Ace McKay]

We have our good friend comedian Greg Warren, the man behind the Warren Report. And I now I. I was asking you earlier if you had any merchandise when you're on tour, you don't and you don't sell anything after the shows.

[Bob Kevoian]

I sell the opener stuff. I push there. Good for you.

[Christy Lee]

That's nice, nice, nice of you.

[Ace McKay]

In your. In your years as a comedian, what have been some of the finest things you've seen people sell? Look, the comics get up there, try to get some gas money. What a.

[Greg Warren]

Well, you know, the best thing I saw after a show, it was Greg Warren and Bob Zany. It was a double headliner show and Greg decided to start giving away Bob Zany CDs to who would ever walk up.

[Ace McKay]

For free.

[Josh Arnold]

For free?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. And furious. Bob was really, really angry.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's funny, Greg. Is that what you think?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I' seen Bob angry for starters, but this was. This was. He was going to kill Greg because

[Josh Arnold]

Bob is one of those guys that he's not there to do the comedy show so much as he is to sell merch. Absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's very important.

[Josh Arnold]

It is very important.

[Ace McKay]

Did you hear Josh's story about a. A strip club? I believe it was in SA. Yeah, near St. Louis. And the guy in the bathroom made a fortune selling barbecue sauce.

[Josh Arnold]

His own homemade barbecue sauce.

[Bob Kevoian]

One of the bathrooms.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. I. I've been to Sage.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. This was at Diamond Cabaret.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And he. He worked in the bathroom and he sold his own barbecue sauce. He had a couple different flavors.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'd like to get over there.

[Josh Arnold]

That's great. I don't know if he's still there. I mean, that was a while ago.

[Bob Kevoian]

Giant barbecue fan. You know that, right, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. You like the barbecue?

[Bob Kevoian]

I go probably twice a week or three times. I try to go anywhere. I'm in out of town. Here's my one thing. The only complaint about barbecue restaurants is they're a little smug when they run out of stuff. Like they're almost proud of it. You know, it's like, oh, you want ribs at 1:30. Wait, you ought to get here a lot earlier to get those ribs. You can't walk up in here at 1:30 asking for ribs. We run out of ribs every day around 11:45. When we run out, we sell out. Well, maybe you guys should make some more. I see your sign there says you've been open since 1974. I would think in that time frame you guys would got a little better handle on the demand for your product. Like you're a store, you have stuff, you sell it, you're supposed to have it. You know, you don't see the pharmacies like diabetes medicine. You can't walk in here at 10:30 asking for diabetes medicine. We run out around 8:00 o' clock every morning. You could show up tomorrow or early. If you're still alive. You might be able to come out,

[Ace McKay]

actually, sadly, you know something that's true now, is it? Yeah, yeah, That's a thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, that is so funny. Yeah, they're, they're that and they're a little braggadocious. Like they all have those, you like, trophies in there. Like about all the barbecue competitions they've won. How many of you guys have been to a barbecue competition? Okay, no, I know they've.

[Josh Arnold]

Everybody in this room's become a joke ruiner with truth and facts.

[Pat Godwin]

But it's.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what I mean, though, they're all over the. And they're pointless. Here's the thing. Like, I'm, I walked into your restaurant, there's a 99.9% chance I'm going to eat. This is what it is. And here's the thing, if I like it, I'm going to come back and eat some more or I'm going to order some more. If it's bad, I'm not going to go. Well, they did win Ribbling rivalry five. I mean, I, this is on me. I obviously don't understand how to taste things, so I'll just, I'll just have some more.

[Ace McKay]

Oh, yeah, I love those rib fests. It's. Try different kinds of ribs. You Ever been to one?

[Pat Godwin]

He just said that he hadn't been to one.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, and it's. The thing is, like. And they're all. They never talk about when they did poorly in those competitions. Some sort of thing. Well, yeah. Yeah. We won best. Best ribs 20, 11, 12, 14, 15.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Bob Kevoian]

What happened in 13? Tell me that, tell me that. Well, Bob got drunk and forgot to put sauce on the ribs, and it was an embarrassment. I'll be okay. You learned from the losses well enough.

[Ace McKay]

Yeah, I love. They. They used to have that traveling rib fest. They have all those great bands and people just eat ribs and.

[Bob Kevoian]

What great bands?

[Ace McKay]

Oh, they had that Beatles cover band. You know what I'm talking about, Ace.

[Christy Lee]

They have the old classic rock bands.

[Greg Warren]

Sebastian Bach.

[Christy Lee]

38 Special was that one.

[Ace McKay]

They're great, but people just eat the ribs and throw them in the ground. So after, like, the first act's over, it's like you're in the movie the Killing Fields. Yeah, I'd like the pole pot stew.

[Greg Warren]

There we go.

[Ace McKay]

Greg, I know that you're a seasoned pro, as they say. You've been doing comedy, You've lived in New York, you've lived in Los Angeles.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I pointed that out to Chick earlier that I lived in New York.

[Ace McKay]

You've done television.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

You've got a couple great specials out there. Where the corn. Excuse me? I was going to say where the corn is green. Sorry. Where the field corn grows.

[Greg Warren]

Where the corn is green. That might be a better salesman.

[Ace McKay]

I believe that's a movie. And. But still, as I've often said, even at his peak, Tiger woods took lessons.

[Greg Warren]

Here it comes.

[Ace McKay]

In the world of golf. And had a swing coach. You may need a joke coach. And here he is.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was all just.

[Ace McKay]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Every morning.

[Bob Kevoian]

His joke of the day.

[Josh Arnold]

He just made that up. You know, I was doing checks yesterday.

[Ace McKay]

Doing what?

[Christy Lee]

Checks.

[Josh Arnold]

I was writing checks.

[Ace McKay]

Oh, writing checks. Okay, sir.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, that's right. You still write checks, don't you?

[Josh Arnold]

Open my electric bill and my water bill at the same time. I was shocked.

[Christy Lee]

Josh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Josh didn't get the joke. What a dummy. He doesn't understand.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet on my drive home I'll get it and laugh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Pretend you don't know what I was talking about.

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

You know, electricity, water.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, I could have done that.

[Ace McKay]

Okay, good.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't get my bills. I don't. I get them online. I pay my bills electronically. No merit. No merit to that.

[Ace McKay]

So this is denying the premise, which.

[Josh Arnold]

That is what this show does now.

[Greg Warren]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't label all of us that way.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm going to.

[Greg Warren]

It's not the show.

[Bob Kevoian]

You're saying. You're saying there's Chick. You're saying there's one guy that's more of a premise killer than others.

[Greg Warren]

I think there might be guy or girl.

[Josh Arnold]

The number one is Ace. Ace will kill most premises, but honest persons.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, that's what everybody.

[Ace McKay]

What are you doing in here? Why don't we do this?

[Bob Kevoian]

I just don't understand how a reverend. And. And.

[Ace McKay]

Right, right.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never seen that.

[Christy Lee]

That's.

[Josh Arnold]

That's what happens.

[Ace McKay]

So wait a minute. So the horse walks into a bar.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

So how.

[Josh Arnold]

Very unlikely.

[Ace McKay]

How does he get in the door? And then he talks.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't talk.

[Greg Warren]

What is that joke where they go, why you have a long face? And he goes, my wife just died.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. My buddy Mork had a.

[Pat Godwin]

He.

[Josh Arnold]

He changed that joke, too.

[Ace McKay]

So Horse walks into.

[Josh Arnold]

Horse walks into a bar. Bar says, why the long face? Horse goes, my wife just died.

[Christy Lee]

He put truth.

[Josh Arnold]

Truth to the sand.

[Greg Warren]

Wow. It was rough, right? See?

[Josh Arnold]

Very. Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

Now, did you ever have to. In your. In the course of your career, did you, like, ever pretend that you were, say, married so you could have a joke, or did you have a joke about a family member that was deceased, but you kept it in as if they weren't.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just may have been a few of those things, like. But I try to be somewhat truthful. But, yeah, there's a little convenience. Yeah, there's some convenience that I'll. You know, if it starts with truth, you can sort of move a few things together. I think in some cases.

[Ace McKay]

I kind of like it when guys do really dated material.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, Yeah, I like that. I like those guys. Michael Jackson's back in the news.

[Josh Arnold]

He sure isn't.

[Ace McKay]

Is that a premise killer?

[Bob Kevoian]

Someone in the audience goes, that's a good one, though I don't think he is.

[Ace McKay]

Or the political stuff. It's really, really dated. Tell you what. That Alvin Barkley.

[Greg Warren]

Hello, Alvin Barkley.

[Christy Lee]

Nobody knows who that is.

[Ace McKay]

That's the premise of the joke, you see, that no one knows who it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Again, this room has four or five comedy black holes. And if a joke is a spaceship, I mean, you have to maneuver. It is. This job has gotten impossible for the guests.

[Bob Kevoian]

You think you could publish something to let them know, you know, to avoid those.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you're right. You're right.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'd like to see that.

[Pat Godwin]

Josh, do you find that it makes you Better, though, when you're doing comedy without a defense. Do you find that this is improving it when you.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, no.

[Josh Arnold]

This has hurt me. Come

[Christy Lee]

emotionally and physically. Physically.

[Greg Warren]

Alvin Barkley over there. Alvin Barkley was born in 1877.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa.

[Ace McKay]

See that? The joke was about using dated material.

[Greg Warren]

Of course.

[Josh Arnold]

Of course.

[Greg Warren]

But no, that's two.

[Tom Griswold]

Dated.

[Bob Kevoian]

Accessible.

[Ace McKay]

Like a dinosaur walks into a bar.

[Greg Warren]

He died in 1956.

[Christy Lee]

Gosh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Old age.

[Greg Warren]

Heart attack.

[Bob Kevoian]

He predated me.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, he went to Oxford College, University of Virginia.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oxford in college would be an Iowa.

[Christopher]

Right.

[Ace McKay]

Okay, well, I'm sorry. Let's get back.

[Greg Warren]

What were the last words of Alvin Barkley?

[Josh Arnold]

That's a thing.

[Greg Warren]

Student leaders behind him were applauding and laughing at the mention of a squelched heckler. Two minutes later, the senator was dead.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my goodness.

[Greg Warren]

Collapsing after uttering his now famous last words. I would rather be a servant in the house of the Lord than sit in the seat of the mighty.

[Josh Arnold]

He said that before he died?

[Greg Warren]

Right before.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Greg Warren]

Wow. Now you got something. Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

Did that get a laugh?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Ace McKay]

Did it get heckled? Okay, I'm sorry. Christy Lee's at the news desk. What's going on over there?

[Christy Lee]

Vermont has agreed to pay $175,000 to settle a lawsuit on behalf of a man who was charged with a crime for giving a state trooper the middle finger. Flipped him the bird. In 2018, Gregory Bombard was stopped by Trooper Jay Riggin, who believed Bombard had showed him the middle finger. Bombard denied that, but said he did curse and display the middle finger once the initial stop was concluded.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, it was over.

[Christy Lee]

It was over. But he was stopped again and arrested for disorderly conduct. The ACLU of Vermont sued on his behalf, arguing that Bombard's First Amendment rights were violated following an unnecessary traffic stop and retaliatory arrest. Under the settlement, the state agreed to pay him $100,000 and $75,000 to the ACLU of Vermont, as well as the foundation for Individual Rights and Expression for legal fees.

[Bob Kevoian]

Vermont troopers are going to be getting flipped off a lot. That's just.

[Ace McKay]

It seems a little high.

[Josh Arnold]

It's worth it to shut up the aclu. They used to do good work hard

[Bob Kevoian]

carrying member, don't you think?

[Josh Arnold]

You know what? I'm not surprised.

[Ace McKay]

I mean, shouldn't they at least be allowed to tase the guy or something?

[Bob Kevoian]

What? I kind of.

[Greg Warren]

Just for flipping him off, you know,

[Ace McKay]

if we're doing for the 175,000. Hey, look, you can have the money, but we're going to get the tase. Because you're being such a dick. You know?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, I'm. Like I said, card carrying member of the aclu. But this is ridiculous. You can't flip off cops.

[Pat Godwin]

Just don't. Don't flip off anybody while they're at work.

[Josh Arnold]

There's no reason. Yeah, exactly.

[Pat Godwin]

Just this guy's doing his job and you're giving him a hard time.

[Christy Lee]

People all the time in this room. We're at work.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, we're working together. Cops at work, they can flip off each other.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I see.

[Josh Arnold]

The ACLU gave up on us a long time ago.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not that speech. Not that speech, chick.

[Ace McKay]

You have an elaborate method of giving someone the finger. Do you know. Would you actually crank.

[Christopher]

Turn it up?

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, can you hear this? Want me to turn it up? See what else?

[Josh Arnold]

Read between the.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got something in your pocket there. You got something in your pocket. What do you got? Is it your phone or a cone?

[Josh Arnold]

Here it is.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah. Yes.

[Ace McKay]

You ever do. When you were a kid, Greg?

[Josh Arnold]

Lauren.

[Ace McKay]

Did you ever do a thing where you slam the door and you do the double. The double rotating bird?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

You're so pissed at your parents, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

But I. Yeah, I said some terrible things.

[Ace McKay]

I'm the judge. 175k seems a little high.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a lot. How about zero? How about. How about you're going to jail? You flipped off a cop.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Or you pay a ticket or whatever the hell. Yeah, yeah. There's a punishment.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

Don't you think my solution is better? If you want the check, these officers get to tase you.

[Josh Arnold]

I do like that. I like giving them the.

[Ace McKay]

The choice, the satisfaction.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, buddy.

[Ace McKay]

Nowhere to get flipped off all the time. Now.

[Josh Arnold]

It's the old casino rule. You can leave with the hammer and the money or you can just leave.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Somebody's betting hammers.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't understand.

[Josh Arnold]

What a fun morning.

[Greg Warren]

It was really, really something.

[Tom Griswold]

You.

[Bob Kevoian]

You hate us.

[Ace McKay]

There's a song about that, right, Pat?

[Christy Lee]

A song about.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Ace McKay]

If I Had a Hammer.

[Greg Warren]

It was okay for 20 minutes, right? Remember those 20 minutes? It was on the row.

[Bob Kevoian]

But you know something?

[Ace McKay]

I don't understand that song, if I Had a Hammer. Never got that.

[Pat Godwin]

You're gonna hammer out danger and warning and the love between your brothers.

[Ace McKay]

How do you do that?

[Christy Lee]

Are you trying to fish for a song from Pat?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, he's not.

[Ace McKay]

I'm trying to ask someone to explain that song to me.

[Greg Warren]

I'd hammer out a warning. Oh, I'd hammer out a. I'd hammer up, sort of.

[Ace McKay]

Would you rather. Would you rather have a pen?

[Greg Warren]

Hammer in the morning?

[Pat Godwin]

You have a hammer, you have a bell, you have a song. The hammer of justice.

[Bob Kevoian]

The bell of free Islam and hammer out danger.

[Greg Warren]

Hammer out danger.

[Ace McKay]

But how?

[Josh Arnold]

If you have the tools to do something, you should use it.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly.

[Christopher]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And it's a spiritual illusion to Jesus the carpenter.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think so.

[Ace McKay]

I don't think.

[Greg Warren]

I don't think.

[Josh Arnold]

I know you guys. Wouldn't I screw my neighbor?

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, stuff like that?

[Greg Warren]

No, that's not a promise. Not a promise at all.

[Ace McKay]

As a friend of ours once said. You ever notice. You ever notice in the Bible that, you know, Jesus is out there working, and then all of a sudden, he keeps stopping work and. And, you know, gathering these crowds around, talking for a couple hours, and then the guy goes, yeah, apparently Jesus worked for the city. That's a classic.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, let's say. What are they. It's. They're saying, like, instead of using a hammer for violence, you'd use it to do good.

[Ace McKay]

It takes too much work. I like songs that tell you what they're going to do. Like that one about picking up the scrubs and.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Ace McKay]

Throwing your microphone.

[Christy Lee]

Not going to let him pick her up.

[Bob Kevoian]

No. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No, nothing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Ace McKay]

Didn't you hate folk music? Come on, admit it.

[Josh Arnold]

Not necessarily.

[Greg Warren]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, as a kid. Yeah. My mom would always play. She recorded, like, those Peter, Paul and Mary concerts on channel. On the. PBS. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Channel 9.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And she would play them a lot. And we'd be like, mom, we just want to watch cartoons.

[Bob Kevoian]

We had Peter, Paul and Mary posters in our basement.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Ace McKay]

Still down there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Ace McKay]

Probably why you dated that woman that looked just like Mar.

[Bob Kevoian]

Young. Mary Travers.

[Ace McKay]

And then my favorite, the hot Russian girl.

[Greg Warren]

My favorite part about that story was he would. There was a bunch of us standing there, and he says that to Greg. And then he stands there like, we're all going to go, Tom, you're right.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

And nobody knew who Mary Travers was.

[Josh Arnold]

It was great.

[Ace McKay]

I would hear, hang down your head, Tom Dooley. I'd start looking for a noose.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom, did you ever hear the story about. What was her name, Greg?

[Bob Kevoian]

Anna.

[Josh Arnold]

Anna. She was very funny. Like, she was legitimately funny. She got you. You know how you see in the back of minivans, the little sticker figures of families and adults? And she got you one.

[Bob Kevoian]

It was just me.

[Josh Arnold]

It was just a man on the back of his. But Greg was telling me that you had spilled some fritos in your car because that was one of your favorite road snacks.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And there were a lot of fritos.

[Bob Kevoian]

It was. I was coming home late. It was all over it.

[Josh Arnold]

And she got in the car and she said, what is with all the fritos?

[Bob Kevoian]

I blamed it on Josh. I go, ah, Josh was eating. And she goes, josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Not for a second did she doubt it, but she always referred to me as Josh Arnold. Yeah, I got.

[Bob Kevoian]

It was terrible. And you were on the gig with me. So she's like, what is all this? I was like, josh was eating fritos

[Tom Griswold]
