I am your host, Mr. Obvious. Let's take a call, shall we? Hello, Mr. Obvious Show. Hello, is this Mr. Obvious? Speaking. Hey, Mr. Obvious, longtime listener, first time caller. I was hoping you could help me out with a tricky dating situation. Ah la Mort. An affair of the heart, eh? I'll certainly do my best, caller. What seems to be the problem? Well, Mr. Havia, I've always considered myself kind of an average guy, even though I'm not exactly Mr. Casanova. I've dated my share of ladies and I tell you, Mr. O, I'm not as wild as some of my friends, but I mean, I ain't never had one of those one night standups. That's a one night stand caller, right? You sure know all about that love stuff, Mr. Obviously. Well, I just want you to know that I'm not loose or anything like that. Nothing wrong with that, caller. Relationships are to be cherished and not taken for granted. Right again, Mr. O. But now I'm in a situation that's kind of making me rethink my moral position. I've got a chance to fulfill one of those orgy Type fantasies most guys dream about their whole life. Did you say an orgy, caller? Yeah, yeah. Let me be more specific, Mr. O. A pair of really attractive twins moved into the apartment next door, and, well, we become kind of friendly. And make a long story short, they say they want to be intimate with me. With you? They specified you, caller. Yeah, yeah, Mr. Obvious. It's for one of them menage and twat things. I think you mean menage a trois, caller. Whatever. But anyway, think I should just go for it? Well, I don't know what to say, caller. That's a fantastic scenario. And I might add, it's something old Mr. Obvious has never participated in. Now, there may be some health issues to worry about as well, not to mention some rather large moral issues. Well, yeah, yeah, right, Mr. Obvious. But here's the thing that this whole twins thing really seems kind of unnatural to me. I mean, I've seen those beer commercials and heard guys hollering about having twins. I know this is supposed to be like the ultimate fantasy fulfillment, but it still seems kind of creepy to me. I mean, what if my friends find out about that? Well, I wouldn't worry about that, caller. If you hook up, as the kids say, with twins, your friends will consider you a hero, for better or worse. It's ingrained among males to respect virility. And what could be more virile than the conquest of twins? Now, whether you should go through with this rare once in a lifetime opportunity or not is up to you. But as long as you're all consenting adults and you use protection, Mr. Obvious can't tell you not to do it. You did say these twins are extremely attractive, right? Oh, very attractive, Mr. Owen. I should just go for it, I guess. Life is short, caller. Sometimes when we don't seize the moment, we're left with years of regret. Why, I remember the time when I would. Mr. Robinson, sometimes we just have to go grab for the gusto, right? All right. You know, you talked me into it. I'm gonna do it. I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna go across the hall and talk to Phil and George right now. Wait, wait a minute, caller. Phil and George are. They had. The twins? Yeah, across the hall. They n. You ever want to meet, Mr. O. We. We always have a great time together. You know, my main concern, I guess, is that since I'm not gay, it might not be as an enjoyable experience. I mean, especially with all their talk about restraints and clams and ball gags and forced. Caller, I know what I think you've convinced me. No, you don't. You don't need to say anymore, mister. I need to be more open minded. That's exactly what I said, caller. See, you withheld certain very important facts. No, no. Now I'm not gonna withhold those facts from my friends. I'm not gonna keep it a secret. I think you're right, Mr. O. They'll respect me even more when I tell em. Now call her. Don't be too hasty, O. I may even tell my parents about it. I bet my dad will get a kick out of this one. I had twins. Dad. He's a retired marine colonel who obviously loves a good bawdy sport. Mr. Obvious, you're a lifesaver. Call her. Thanks, Mr. O. Hello. Hello. Well, that's what I'm. Join us again next time for the Mr. Obvious Show. Wow. It's our way of making sure you haven't missed anything. This is Bob and Tom. Extra. Hello. We have a lot going on here, as usual. Didn't we waste it seemed like a whole week debating if an instrumental is a song or not. Yes, Yep, we sure did. Yeah. Yeah. And we. But did we ever reach a salient point? I don't know if we concluded. Yeah, I'm, I'm. And then there are those songs that. That have no words except then you realize, oh, wait a minute, they shout out one thing in the middle of it. Sure. Like tequila. Yeah. What does that make it? A song. That's a good song. It gets it. It is a good. We have a lot of other things to get to, but yesterday in the show, it was about this time, I promised we'd have a very special guest. And I promised you'd like him. And the verdict was. Yes. Resounding. Yes. How much longer are we going to put up with this? You're wallowing in your championship. The answers were not. Thank you. Yeah, we enjoyed it. Yes, we enjoyed it very much. And don't ruin it. End of story. No, that's not the end of the story. It's not. I am bringing it up for a reason. Because we have a letter. Yeah. I promise you that. We have a special guest. And you guys always poo poo. Yeah. And then, and then what happened when he came on, you guys loved it. Yes, we did. Okay. That's the story. The story's not over. We have a letter here. Our guest, in case you missed it, was the actor Bill Glass. And I can't believe you didn't mention your connection with Bill Glass. That's what we're going to get to. Oh, now, Bill Glass, for those of you that don't know his name, and I would not have known his name, but as I said yesterday, you'll know who it is immediately, but you probably won't recognize his. You won't know his name. Excuse me. Yeah. Bill Glass is the actor who portrays Dr. Rick in those great progressive insurance commercials. Don't talk like your parents. Right. They're really, they're as funny as anything on tv. And I mean, you gotta add it to progressive. I think maybe Josh pointed out they've got two different kind of themed storylines going with flow. The Flo verse. Yeah. And the Dr. Rick. And both very handed to their ad agency. Very, very funny. Wow. Yeah. And we had a chance to talk to. To Bill. To Bill Glass. And it was great. It was really fun. We've posted that on our various social media platforms. Follow him on Instagram. We doubled his numbers yesterday. Chick. Good, good, good, good. And Willie knows this. He's a Chicago improv guy from way, from way back, which is an experience that Willie has gone through and is going to be going through again soon. All the great improv troops in Chicago. That's one of the reasons I'm in radio, because I saw an improv troupe called the Reification Company touring in Florida and they were a Chicago based improv troupe. They were wonderful. But man, this looks like a cool thing to do. But. So naturally you went into radio. Well, I mean, yeah, I'm just saying. I just, I realized nobody's gonna call him on this. Yes, Tom, that's interesting. Well, this show is kind of improvisational, kind of. Yeah, very well. And then there's the connection. So, so now this gentleman's name is Bill Glass. He's. And he's, he's like, like an, he's an actor. He's out there getting gigs and he's been on all kinds of TV shows. Walking us through. An actor in Hollywood. Just a second. This is. I'm trying to get to my point. I wish you would. Now, his name is Bill Glass. Yes. Huh. Dear Bob and Tom Show. This triggered a memory for me of the famed lineman from the 60s era Cleveland Browns also named Bill Glass. I'm surprised Tom didn't remember. Thanks for the good times. This is from John. I did remember, but I didn't want to muddy the waters really. Well, but you remember, I mean, Bill Glass was a defensive lineman for the Browns. Now, Reverend, I believe. Yes. I think he became an ordained. When I was a kid growing up, there were all those names. Dick Schaffraff. Lou the Toe Groza. I knew. You remember Lou the Toe Groza, don't you? No. Oh, yeah, I do. Because he's in a joke chicken. A chicken. I are old enough to know that was a. Jan Stennerud was the first guy to kick. I forget to kick soccer style. One of the gogle acts I think was. Yet, I don't know, was Lou the Toe Groza, the one that didn't have a toe? No, no, that was Tom Dempsey. That was Tom. That was Tom. No, Toe Dempsey. It wasn't like a bald guy he called girly, but that shows you how innocent times were. That was his nickname, the toe. And. But yeah, Bill Glass was a. A terrific. Cleveland Brown. Of course. The world champion Cleveland Browns just before they had a Super Bowl. Bill Glass was a Cleveland Brown, the actor? No, no, no. This. The. There was a guy named Bill Glass. Oh, okay. It is confusing. Yeah, it did get a little confusing there. That's why I didn't bring it up. Okay. Awesome, man. Well, thank you. I'm so glad that you got to learn about Bill Glass. And I didn't bring it up. This guy did. John golden brought it up. Yes, but as Josh pointed out many times, no one would be aware of that letter had you not read it. This ain't tv. They're not looking over your shoulder. Yeah, you don't have to read it. I mean, it is. You know what I mean? What you're saying is you want Mark fired for bringing this letter to me. No. A little bit. Not fired. Suspended. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe a day or two, to be fair, with pay, I think. And I think. But I enjoy that. Actually, you're right. Mark. Mark first off deserves a suspense because he would enjoy. He has to read all these mails, all these emails. Don't you have what? I think we could go around the horn. Ok, I'll do it this way. Here we go. Josh, when you. When you were a little kid, was there a team you followed? Was it the St. Louis Rams? Was it the Cardinals? Was it. No, there was never any football for me. It was either the blues or the card. The St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. Okay, and now, which players, when you were a really little kid, did you remember their names and looked up to and wanted their autograph? There was a catcher named Todd Zeal that I liked because. Yeah, I don't really know why, but I just liked him. And just because I'm a girl. I followed football back then probably way more than I did I was a Packers fan because in fifth was I fifth grade maybe somebody came to visit our neighborhood and his name was Marcus Brock. And I fell in love and he lived in Green Bay. So right there I became a Packers fan. Marcus, if you're out there, he probably is going, what the heck? But I mean, yeah, and then I, Bart Starr and then that whole team. When you're little and you know you have those posters in your room. Willie, who was it for you? I mean, Reggie Miller and Peyton Manning are the obvious two, but the weird one, I loved Mike Vanderjad the kicker. Sure. I made you buy me a Mike Vanderjad away jersey and I always. My friends made fun of me so much. Why did you get away jersey for the kicker? You lose. Is that the one that Peyton was mocking on the air that one day? Idiot kicker. Was it? Yeah. And there's some story he told either a young Bob Sanders or Dwight Freeney, like, hey man, back off on special teams. I'm trying to make these tackles too. He was a real weird guy. He owns a bar in Tampa now, I think. I don't know a lot about him, but. But the point here is every. When you're little, you, you get these, these sports heroes. Pat, did you happen to have one? Yeah, Notre Dame, Hanratty, Seymour was the split end. Then of course, Joe Theisman. Yeah. Hanratty and Seymour on the COVID of Sports Illustrated. Yeah, I remember that. Terry Hanratty. Wow. Wow. Chick Magee. Who was it for you? Was it. Did you follow the Browns or the. Oh, I started following the Browns and I went to the packers and I went to Washington and the rest is history. So when you were a little kid, which was the poster you had, if you had one, what was the. Oh, they actually. A lot of baseball stuff. A lot of baseball players. The Reds were really going crazy when I was a kid, so. And does everyone know is everyone knows. For me it was Vic Davalio. That's right. Of course. Cleveland Indian. The eviction. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Just died a couple years ago now. Hail of bullets. What happened there? Well, we better not talk. Oh, you know, the way things are going, that might be how. Mr. Davilio, let's take a look back. It's Peyton Manning talking about Mike Vanderjagt. I'm about to go in and throw a touchdown to Jerry Rice for honoring the hall of Fame. We're talking about our idiot kicker who got liquored up and ran his mouth off. So. Hey, Al, Dan. What is the sports world come to we're talking about idiot kickers. He has ruined kickers for life. Acres and Ven. These guys are great guys. They've been getting killed all week cuz our idiot ran his mouth. So when I get home I'll deal with it. Funny. That's him on the sideline of the Pro bowl, by the way. And I'm pretty sure eight weeks after that he got Venary as his kicker. They got the energy out of there pretty quick. Yeah. And Venator. Rather good. Yeah. But again, Bill Glass actor versus the late Bill Glass, Cleveland Brown and bachelor of divinity degree by the way from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Oh, so almost legit. Yeah. Thank you for clearing that up. We really appreciate you clearing that up. We're getting back to our map. Did I read this letter about Bill Glass? Yeah, you want a Thomism? Yeah. Evan says my wife told me she was water hungry. I said, you mean thirsty. You know, sometimes there is a difference though. Sometimes you really are water hungry. Kind of. On a related note. Hello gang. Never heard if you've read my letters on the air. Well, Ian, we're doing it now. Well Ian, why don't you give us your number? We can call you personally and tell you when they're gonna be on. He's in Montana. Ian says pickle juice, they make it in little shots at five hour energy. Keep one by your bed. It'll relieve the cramp in seconds. In the middle of the night, Tommy. Yeah, it also works great for me. Terrible Charlie Horse woke me up the other night. I mean brutal. And it was my own fault. I had managed to not eat lunch or dinner. Hadn't said. And I didn't realize last thing I had to drink was a coffee at nine in the morning. Attaboy. So how can you do that? Yeah, you got to drink water. I just got busy and forgotten. But as soon as I got the cramp I realized wait a minute, I haven't had anything. Wow. But yeah, that's a good tip. That's a good tip. And who was you were. I think Chick was saying they serve pickle juice on the sidelines. NFL. They've known it forever. Dear Bob at Top show. Another Tom ism. Oh yes. The other day my wife and I were outside and there was a athletic a sporting event going on in our area and we looked up above our head and there was a blimp. Oh. Pointed to show my wife and she said oh, it's an air submarine. That is great. Yes. That's from Chris with a K. Yeah. And I and I know you disagree with me on this. I think it's super cool to see blimps. I just love them. Of course. Of course. Girls. Look at that. A blimp. I mean, it's special. It usually means there's some cool game going on. It's special and it's even. It's even funny when there's a blimp hovering over a domed stadium. But yeah, I just think it's great. Just like, hey, here's something fantastic. Look at this. They do do that floating airship. I'd still. I still like to see their closed stadiums with the blimp flying overhead. They do that just for tv? Well, yeah. I'm out of the cities. The blimp flying overhead's not for the people in the stadium. It's for the people watching on tv. Right, yeah. And Ike, which ones are left? Obviously the Goodyear blimps. That's sort of. The MetLife has one that's a workhorse of the industry. Yeah, but is the Fujifilm thing over, I assume. I would think nobody uses film anymore. Very few people. It's gotta be. It'd be a total waste of money for them. And I haven't seen. I haven't seen the blimps that they used to have inside stadiums lately. Was there an accident or something? What do you mean? They would have. They would have like the eight foot blimp and it'd be puttering around inside a domed stadium. I don't know. I saw one in an arena about two years ago, so I don't. Yeah, okay. Because those I thought were great. Yeah, they're cool. But I always wanted to. I am a blimp fan. Those are great. And as you know, I think I came up with possibly the greatest marketing idea in history for either Cialis Levitra. Get comfortable. What's the other one? Viagra. Viagra, yeah. Levitra. Yeah. Which would be like, you have the Cialis blimp. And I ran this by a friend of mine that works for Eli Lilly. I can see how far it went. Another. Another winner from you, Tom. Yeah. You just said that it was proof it was a good idea. No, she dismissed it immediately. But the idea would be if this. Let me get a fake blimp here. Okay. Say this is your blimp here. And then it's going around like this and it's just got the Viagra or the Cialis logo on it. And then by halftime, the. This could be easily done with ballast. For those of you that sail. You know what I'm Talking about you could adjust the ballast so the blimp be at a 45 degree angle to the ground. And I think the implication is obvious. What is the implication? Just to be clear, what turgid throbbing member I believe is where we're going with this? I mean it would be. It would be everywhere. So I'm sure we could actually fake this with AI somehow. Yeah. Oh, it'd be so cool. You know, admittedly the folks driving the thing would be staring straight up. You'd have to put like a window in the bottom of the airship. Or maybe it has a self leveling gondola. Yeah, there you go. Oh, yeah. Good idea. You're welcome. You're thinking you should be working for NASA? No, I just join you in the insanity. I'll meet you where you are, buddy. They're always on their way to some place, a sporting event, something very important. It's kind of like if you were just driving on all of a sudden you saw fireworks at night. Like, whoa, that's great. Do you get that feeling when you see hot air balloons as well? Oh, yeah, yeah. Hey, put that up on an alien trying to be a human. Wow, look, fireworks. Those are great. Thank you for giving us a comparison to how we should relate to your story. We weren't appreciating enough. I'm glad you mentioned the fireworks thing. It really is like seeing fireworks. But I mean, okay, fourth of July, you see fireworks, I get it. But is it dark out right now? If you walked outside right now and there were fireworks. Wow, that is great. The city was on fire. It'd be like if somebody walked in here right now and had like lobster tails with nice, nice warm butter and what? A little bit of steak. Hey, this is special. What? We. We are. We are listening to a madman. Yeah, there's still. I was kind of. I was kind of kidding about all cognitive reasoning. Bling idiot part. He's really embraced it. You got to embrace the special things in life. We do. I think we enjoy all that. Yeah, I think we're fine. Yeah, I've ridden in the Goodyear blimp, you know, we've heard. So, so have I. And the Fuji blimp and the Diet Pepsi blimp and the Bud and the Mickey Mouse balloon. Will someone get grandpa his pills? Here's something that doesn't happen anymore. He has. He has more. I need a witness for this. I'm actually just here on here now intermittently just to check in on him. A lot better. You should come in more. Yeah, you ain't got no. You could be so many other. Were you? I think either Chick, maybe Ace, possibly Christy. We used to do these. Occasionally we would do these broadcasts from Disney World. Yeah, they used to do it. They would have like a radio row thing and they would have a hundred radio stations all there for some new riders and all of them talking like this. I think Disney only did this for a year or so. But we were there walking because I got tired of everybody talking like, hey, Mickey Mouse. Do you remember? That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra.
