[Christopher (Producer/Announcer)]

Welcome back. It's another Bob and Tom extra. This is Christopher. Not only is the Bob and Tom show live every weekday morning, but every afternoon. We'll give you a little extra in case you missed anything on the big show today. Hate in the Room plus Road Rage and Waylon and Madam. It's on the way in just a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

the following is a paid commercial announcement from the bottom town pharmaceutical company.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Ahoy, mateys. I'm retired sea captain Dick Itchy with an important message for all you sea dogs out there with the merchant marine. I've spent nearly 40 years sailing around the world. As a young swabbie, I visited many exotic ports of call and chose to spend my leisure time in the company of loose women, many of whom were whores and prostitutes. And I loved them, everyone. As a result, I contracted syphilis 147 times. When symptoms appeared, my only relief was a rigorous scrubbing with a barnacle scraper. Well, today I'm pleased to announce an exciting new breakthrough in the treatment of itchy sores and lesions. It's a soothing topical ointment made especially for sailors. Introducing new shankers away. When it's time to swab the deck, you need shakers awake.

[Shankers Away Jingle Singer]

Shakers awake. Shakers away. Come a little on your toes and you'll be okay.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Out, out, out.

[Shankers Away Jingle Singer]

You been on, naughty boy. You went astray before your. Don't forget to dissectors away.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Hey. So take it from me, sea captain Dick Itchy, a man who spent his life sailing the seven seas. There are two things I've learned. Drinking salt water just makes you Thirstier. And hookers love seamen. So if you're a sailor who's docked his dinghy in an unfriendly port, you need shankers away. Shankers away from the people who brought you Moby Dick love lotion. And coming soon, Cousteau ointment. Cousteau ointment for jock itch.

[Tom Griswold]

From the Bob and Tom Pharmaceutical company where our motto is, we don't just make drugs, we need them.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

You asked for it, you got it. More Bob and Tom. This is Bob and Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Extra, I think. I'm pretty sure we set a record today with people that. That hate each other in the room.

[Kristi Lee]

Shut up about it.

[Chick McGee]

See? Yeah, there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't hate any of you.

[Tom Griswold]

This isn't a record.

[Chick McGee]

Cram it, lady.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not. No, no. We've been watching this.

[Chick McGee]

We need a guest to be mad.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we need a guest. I mean, that first. I mean, that's a no brainer. You hate all of them, but here we go. Oh, boy. See what I did there?

[Chick McGee]

I've made a two birds. Not saying I hate our guests anymore. At least not out loud.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, let's.

[Chick McGee]

Unless I just can't stand it.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's move forward.

[Kristi Lee]

All right, can we have Tom. Can we have Oscar come in and tell the story he told

[Tom Griswold]

was that. That was off the air.

[Josh Arnold]

It was on here yesterday.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, he does. And then we could have people write in and say who was in the wrong here.

[Tom Griswold]

It's pretty funny.

[Chick McGee]

He could tell us it happened to a friend of his. He wouldn't have to say it was him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we'd have to have somebody take over his duties, though, at the.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, well, let's just say. No, we won't have it. But it didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

I enjoyed it. It was a story about road rage.

[Kristi Lee]

Right, Right. And I've shed all my road rage. It's not worth my time and energy. I'm over it.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm so happy for you. I wish I could do that.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. No, I'm not. I'm not giving strangers the power to control my emotions anymore.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I do. All the time. My God.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I do, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I've tried to tell.

[Josh Arnold]

Why are you doing that?

[Tom Griswold]

I've tried to tone it down. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I've. I've turned my road rage off so much that if someone's in the car and I don't. Why aren't you honking at that guy? Why don't you yell at him?

[Kristi Lee]

Right. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Well, don't let him tailgate you like that. No, I. I just.

[Kristi Lee]

Has it ever made you feel better?

[Tom Griswold]

I.

[Kristi Lee]

That's my thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah, it did. Oh, never.

[Kristi Lee]

I never felt better.

[Tom Griswold]

You?

[Chick McGee]

Not only. Yes, but you betcha is what Tom said.

[Tom Griswold]

What is greater than having some. A hole. They're driving terror behind you and they're right 2 inches in back of you. And they're doing all that. All. They maneuver themselves away in speed through a school zone or whatever and then a mile ahead you see them pulled over.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, that's not you though.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's just. What a great feeling. That's.

[Kristi Lee]

The world's sort of providing justice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Even better. If they've run into a large embankment in their cars in flames, you just go, well, I could get out and piss on it. Put the fire out. No, I'm going to keep going.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's hope.

[Tom Griswold]

He's strapped in and roasting. Yeah, that's.

[Kristi Lee]

You know, I. For a second I forgot who I was speaking.

[Tom Griswold]

How about a happy letter before we get to this next story? This is so sweet.

[Chick McGee]

Do it, baby, do it.

[Tom Griswold]

This is from first name's only Donovan.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

From. I'll just say he's from the state of Iowa.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Because he's from a smaller town. I'm sure he's probably the only Donovan in that town. Yeah, yeah. He goes. Today was the best day of our lives.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, tell us what happened at 1209.

[Chick McGee]

Is he from Ames?

[Tom Griswold]

We. He's not from Ames.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Ames, Iowa. Of course. The birthplace of Richie Hayward, the drummer for Little Feet. They're on tour, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

No one else knows that fact except his mom. Richie Hayward's mom.

[Tom Griswold]

One of the great drummers of all time. So could I get back to Donovan's letter?

[Chick McGee]

We sure wish you would wonder.

[Tom Griswold]

We welcomed our first child into the world. A little baby boy we named Waylon.

[Chick McGee]

Alright, so what?

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean, so what? This is just a sweet letter. After months of waiting, sleepless anticipation and excitement, we finally got to meet the little guy today. It doesn't feel real, by the way. Then he says, tom, you'll appreciate this. The hospital where Waylon was born has an Otis elevator. That's right, Tom. The Cadillac of elevators. I know you're a fan. Clearly this hospital has excellent taste and high standards in vertical transportation. So that's the place. That's where you want to go?

[Kristi Lee]

That's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

You go to a hospital, they don't have an Otis. I'm not going in there.

[Kristi Lee]

I'm not. I've changed completely with hospitals, ranch hospitals or Nothing. Do they call multiple floors?

[Chick McGee]

You know what? I know that I like the one floor hospital, but I didn't have an effective name. Well, we. Ranch hospital.

[Tom Griswold]

We probably could have saved them, except we had to go 3,000 yards to get to the surgical area because it's a ranch.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't see a lot of ranch hospitals.

[Kristi Lee]

No, you gotta. You gotta want to find. Yeah, yeah, you have to work.

[Tom Griswold]

But there's one they're building here that's like 80 stories.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. No, not for me.

[Tom Griswold]

Full of brilliant.

[Chick McGee]

So let me ask you this. Would you go to a hospital if they guarantee you would have all of your transactions on the first floor?

[Kristi Lee]

But it has multiple floors. It has multiple floors. No, because the physicians could get stuck at one of the top floors. And I'm needed down.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, all right.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, I'm out.

[Josh Arnold]

That's fair.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, are you going to say happens all the time? Well, we. We could have saved him, but Dr. Smith was stuck between Flora 7 and 8.

[Chick McGee]

Dr. Smith, right. I was a lost in space doctor.

[Kristi Lee]

70% of patients in the hospital pass away because a doctor is stuck in an elevator. Really, the alarming.

[Tom Griswold]

Where was I?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, the information is there. You just have to look it up.

[Tom Griswold]

Our letter. Our nice letter here from Donovan. Yes, on the drive home. Waylon's first radio show will of course be the Bob and Tom Show.

[Kristi Lee]

Well, welcome to the world, Wayland.

[Tom Griswold]

I've been listening for 10 years. I'm proud to say you've officially gained a brand new listener. Oh, that's sweet. Congratulations, Donovan. And congratulations to your lovely wife and little Waylon. That's a great name for a kid.

[Kristi Lee]

It sure is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you don't hear that much. Of course, the great Waylon Jennings.

[Chick McGee]

They're from Iowa City, right?

[Tom Griswold]

They're not from Iowa City. They're from Centerville.

[Kristi Lee]

Over there.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, oh.

[Chick McGee]

Whalen and Centerville. Now they're famous.

[Tom Griswold]

Waylon and Madam, the great puppeteer.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Donovan, you're gonna be angry with me now.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he is.

[Tom Griswold]

But Waylon and Madam?

[Chick McGee]

Why is he gonna be mad? I'm mad at you.

[Tom Griswold]

Waylon and Madam, they were in here. And Chick and I will tell you. That guy, he was famous. On what? Hollywood Squares or something. Yeah, he was so nice.

[Kristi Lee]

I would have loved it.

[Tom Griswold]

So funny and so self deprecating, both on and off the air.

[Kristi Lee]

How was Madam?

[Chick McGee]

Really funny.

[Josh Arnold]

She was funny.

[Tom Griswold]

This is true. And I. I want you to back me up in this. And Ace, you may remember this. I was here, a member of our. Oh, you were here for that. Okay, good. Do you. A certain member of our staff had to leave the building. I'm not kidding. And he would also leave when any. Anyone.

[Josh Arnold]

Because he was afraid of ventriloquist.

[Tom Griswold]

He was afraid of ventriloquist and afraid of puppets.

[Kristi Lee]

And madam was sort of harsh looking.

[Tom Griswold]

If you don't know what we're talking about, take some time today and Google Waylon and madam, watch some YouTube videos.

[Kristi Lee]

I loved it as a kid. Loved it. Did you have a syndicated kitty show?

[Tom Griswold]

I. Maybe he did. I just knew him from the Hollywood Squares. I wish I'd seen his life. So sadly, he is no longer with us. He was just so funny. So the name Waylon, I associate, of course, with Waylon Jennings, the great musical

[Josh Arnold]

artist, which I'm sure is Donovan Association.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, probably.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why he's gonna be angry when he finds out.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Perhaps that Waylon is. But hey, look, I likes comedy. Who.

[Kristi Lee]

What other. So you. We've also. We've talked to Jeff Donald many times. I believe you guys had Willie and.

[Chick McGee]

Willie Tyler and Lester.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, you've had. You've had. Did you guys ever have Chuck and Bob?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, no, no, we had Chuck.

[Josh Arnold]

Chuck.

[Tom Griswold]

Chuck Wood. Yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

David Strassman. That's. And he's huge in Australia.

[Kristi Lee]

Now, Chuck and Bob is my favorite because I'm just a giant soap fan.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, that's right. The guy in soap. Yeah, that apple bite.

[Kristi Lee]

It's as funny as it gets.

[Tom Griswold]

I love ventriloquists. I used to have a Jerry Mahoney and a Dunklehead Smith dummy as a kid.

[Kristi Lee]

I also like Otto and George. Oh, that's cool. If you like your. Your ventriloquism. Poor and filthy. But they make me laugh a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

In high school, didn't you carry a puppet around for a while? Grover.

[Chick McGee]

I had a Grover puppet.

[Tom Griswold]

A Grover.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you ever try to throw your voice?

[Tom Griswold]

Are you kidding? I can do it. Great. And I come.

[Kristi Lee]

I spent a fair amount of time as a kid trying to figure it out. So anyway, then I remembered some advice my dad once gave me, which was, you don't have to be good at everything. There are other people who can be good at those things for you.

[Chick McGee]

That's good advice.

[Kristi Lee]

And I went, oh, he's right.

[Tom Griswold]

That is some rock solid advice that they should give more often on American Idol.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, you don't want to hurt people's feelings, but you also kind of go, you know what? There are other things for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no, let me get Let me do a little experiment here. Christy Lee, your husband is very nice. Andy. I really like him.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, you've.

[Tom Griswold]

You've done well.

[Josh Arnold]

Thanks.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, when you're in the car, what you told me. Look, what he's trying to do. I'm recording the truth, and that's a lie. Now, Christy, if you're in the car with Andy, does he sing along with songs?

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes. The Beatles songs.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you sing?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sometimes.

[Tom Griswold]

Does he say, maybe this isn't for you?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Kristi Lee]

I think Christy can sing.

[Josh Arnold]

Not really, but.

[Kristi Lee]

No, no, you can sing along to the ra. I've heard you sing some tunes.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, I like to sing along. Yes. That's the best part about driving to Chicago tomorrow is get to seeing all the songs by myself in the car.

[Kristi Lee]

Nice.

[Josh Arnold]

I get to pick what I want to hear.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, you're a fine singer. You, of course, were in the high school premiere. Was it the premiere? Show choir. The show choir.

[Kristi Lee]

Show choir.

[Tom Griswold]

You sing in the car?

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, man.

[Tom Griswold]

If you have a lady friend with you, do you chime in and.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. Yeah, I don't. You know what? You don't sing the same. At least I don't. I don't sing the same when there's somebody in the car as when there isn't.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

But what if she's. No. If she's a terrible singer, are you going to say to her, no way. As my dad once said, maybe singing isn't for you?

[Kristi Lee]

Nope. They're feeling it. Get it out, baby.

[Josh Arnold]

Good singer.

[Kristi Lee]

I don't care if you're good or bad. Sing it out.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So I'll say you're okay with it.

[Dick Itchy (Character in Commercial)]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You're not going to take your dad's advice.

[Josh Arnold]

So what about in your car?

[Kristi Lee]

Well, no, I'm not going to tell that person to not feel the joy they're feeling. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. In my car.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I put up with it.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah, of course you do.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, my little girls will put up with it.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They will also often say you right now? Rarely. But right now I'm suffering through. I'm sure there's some other parents out there that deal with this where one of their daughters has an album she will not stop playing.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, yeah, we were. We've all been there. What's she wearing out these days?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't want to.

[Kristi Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't want to throw the guy under the bus, but.

[Kristi Lee]

Gotcha. It's just not for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I just wanted. Hey, would you cheer up?

[Kristi Lee]

I Know it is. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

For God's sake. First thing in the morning. Drive you to a nice Sunday brunch. And now his new song. The World Sucks and Everything Blows. And this is a huge hit. And I'm a billionaire. Go to hell. I don't want to hear it anymore.

[Kristi Lee]

She's into Bobby McFerrin.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't be happy. So, anyway, Donovan, congratulations. And do yourself a favor. Look up Waylon and Madam. Great, great, great artist. No, I'm kidding.

[Kristi Lee]

Now, when you. When you interviewed these ventriloquists, how often were you looking at the dummy?

[Tom Griswold]

All the time.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. Isn't that funny?

[Josh Arnold]

You can't help it, right?

[Kristi Lee]

You can't help but look at the puppet.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm totally serious. One of our cast members. I am not making this up. Every time that he'd leave and be. He'd be angry about it. I mean, he. He was. Did you know how he had a true phobia? Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I got in a fight with Chuck Wood one morning. Remember? Because Chuck Wood had a squirt gun in his mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Thought that was funny now.

[Kristi Lee]

Did you. Who did you end up looking at, though, Chuck?

[Shankers Away Jingle Singer]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that wild?

[Chick McGee]

But I really hated Dave Strassman.

[Kristi Lee]

To me, the testament of a great ventriloquist is when you can talk to the. The human. And they're looking at you talking, and the. And the puppet is looking around.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Kristi Lee]

That is really something.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

And I do ventriloquism with my dog all the time. I have. I have a. I do standard back. I have a standard back and forth with my dog. I talk for him.

[Kristi Lee]

Yeah. I love doing.

[Tom Griswold]

Constantly. Every time I see him, we go over the same thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you move his mouth, too?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no.

[Kristi Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

He just looks at me and I know what he's saying. No, I know, exactly. We have the opportunity to say a word you can't ordinarily say on the radio.

[Chick McGee]

You keep saying that, and nothing's happened.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, it's because Christie's got the story. And I was distracted by this lovely letter from Donovan.

[Kristi Lee]

Yes. Congratulations, Donovan. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

We're very happy for you.

[Chick McGee]

Way to go. And having a baby.

[Kristi Lee]

And why chick does have a point. Millions of morons do it every day.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. You don't have to take a test. You don't have to get license.

[Tom Griswold]

Donovan was kind enough to take some time, of course, wrote a sweet letter.

[Kristi Lee]

We are indeed happy to celebrate with him. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Because most of the time on this show, it's just nothing but hate. Hate Hate.

[Kristi Lee]

But we can't discount Chick's point of you didn't do much.

[Chick McGee]

And we can't let this guy down. If he listens to the show like he says he does. He wants to be hated. I don't think so. I think so.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Donovan, enjoy some nice whale.

[Kristi Lee]

And J, I don't want to meet the listener who writes in and then we give that letter or that person a hard time and they're angry about it.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Kristi Lee]

What did you think was going to happen?

[Tom Griswold]

I do have a good Waylon Jennings story.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

Real quick. Waylon Jennings, of course, was the narrator for a, at the time, hugely successful television show called the Dukes of Hazard.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, he was.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever see it, Josh?

[Kristi Lee]

Of course. Loved it as a kid. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And that was. The narrator was Waylon Jennings, and he was.

[Kristi Lee]

I celebrate the General Lee every day. I have big. I painted.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Josh Arnold]

So have a nice flag on your wall.

[Tom Griswold]

So Waylon Jennings was on the road, of course, as a musician with his band all the time. And a friend of mine owned a recording studio and he got a phone call from Hollywood one day and they said, waylon Jennings is going to be coming through. He's doing a concert.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Hollywood called and we need to have him do the narration for the show for the particular week. And then they, they, can you please send us the specs of your studio? Which he did. And he had a very fine studio. And they said, okay, obviously you've got what we need. And they. Studio time is used to be especially quite expensive, but they rented the studio for 24 hours.

[Kristi Lee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

They rented the studio for 24 hours. And they said, he'll be there. He's got a concert, whatever. He should be done at 11 o', clock, he'll be there sometime between, like, whatever, 12:30 that night. And then we have it for 24 hours, depending on what his schedule is.

[Kristi Lee]

So he would come in and, well, looks like those Duke boys sure have painted themselves into a corner.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So it was pretty cool. So the bus arrives, a couple guys walk in, scout out the studio, make sure there's nobody else in there. And then they bring Waylon in and they put him on a stool, they set up an ashtray and a bottle of whatever. And a guy sits next to him and he's got a music stand with a script on it, right. And so they just. They're just told. Just told, roll the tape. That's all you have to do is roll tape. And then Waylon will read from it. And what this guy did was he secretly had another tape in another studio rolling, because when it was all done, he had to hand them what they thought was the only tape, and they would edit it. When it got to Hollywood, they would, in those days, overnight fedex it. So Waylon sits there, and he would go off script quite often, and when he went off script, it was. What's the word I'm looking for? Rather spicy. You know what I'm saying? Or he would make. Make critiques of the. Of what the. Of what the Duke boys were doing. This is a ton of. So it's an absolute classic.

[Josh Arnold]

Where is that tape?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm hoping it's somewhere on the Internet, but there may be legal reasons it isn't, but yeah. Waylon, Great singer, of course. Great song.
