1. Introduction to B&T Extra

The "B&T Extra" segment, hosted by Christopher, opens the episode by highlighting the day's main topics: Jess Hooker joining the team, a deep dive into chestnuts, and an intriguing discussion on woolly mammoths. Listeners are prepared for an engaging blend of informative conversation and the show's signature humor.

2. Chestnut Talk with Jess Hooker

[04:31] Chick McGee: "The Christmas Song, okay. Which is ballsy, by the way, to me to name your song the Christmas Song, before it's even a hit."

Jess Hooker takes center stage as the hosts delve into the nuances of preparing chestnuts. She shares her newfound interest in chestnuts, revealing her research on roasting techniques: [05:47] Jess Hooker: "There's chestnut tools. You have to make an X at the top before you roast them on an open fire so that they don't burst."

The conversation humorously explores the challenges of shucking chestnuts: [06:00] Christy Lee: "Are they in a shell? I mean, we have to shell like."

Chick McGee expresses his fascination with chestnuts, admitting he's never had one: [07:21] Jess Hooker: "Yeah. So I'm gonna just do them on the grill. That seems to be the safest way."

The hosts share personal anecdotes about holiday traditions, with Jess Hooker mentioning her experience making chestnut dressing for Christmas and Thanksgiving: [15:38] Jess Hooker: "I make chestnut dressing at Christmas and at Thanksgiving, so that's the only way I've had them is when they're already prepared."

3. Exploring Ancient Diets: Woolly Mammoths and the Clovis People

Shifting gears, the discussion transitions to a fascinating archaeological topic: [07:48] Chick McGee: "Steak the first. This is the food source of ancient humans in what is now called North America."

The hosts unpack the findings from a 13,000-year-old Clovis burial site in Montana, where stable isotope analysis revealed that approximately 40% of the mother's diet consisted of woolly mammoth meat: [08:11] Christy Lee: "They found that about 40% of her diet came from mammoth, with other large animals like elk and bison making up the rest."

Tom Griswold humorously speculates on the logistics of hunting such massive creatures: [09:01] Tom Griswold: "Isn't Clovis a southern name?"

The conversation balances scientific insights with lighthearted banter, illustrating the hosts' ability to make complex topics accessible and entertaining.

4. Modern Twists and Pop Culture References

The hosts seamlessly blend historical discussions with contemporary humor. Chick McGee brings up modern attempts to recreate extinct species: [09:55] Jess Hooker: "Yeah, that's some very, very cold."

They muse about resurrecting woolly mammoths for culinary adventures: [09:56] Chick McGee: "Jurassic park style. So my point is, I think, Pat, maybe we can resurrect Loon Lake Lodge and serve Woolly Mammoth late."

The segment also touches on the evolution of taste and food processing: [14:25] Chick McGee: "All right. So woolly mammoth probably tastes a lot like elephants, I would think."

Adding to the fun, the conversation veers into favorite holiday treats and classic movie scenes, including references to "D.H. Lawrence’s Women in Love" and the iconic fig scene: [17:27] Tom Griswold: "Yeah, he does."

5. Word of the Year and Practical Tips

Shifting to a more contemporary topic, Christy Lee announces Merriam-Webster's 2024 Word of the Year: [17:33] Chick McGee: "I don't think you're gonna like it."

The word "Polarization" is dissected, both in its literal and metaphorical meanings: [18:00] Pat Godwin: "Oxford announced theirs. Remember what the Oxford word of the year was?"

Chick McGee offers a practical tip related to polarized sunglasses and speedometer visibility: [18:33] Christy Lee: "Originating in the 1800s, the word is. Now where's my beer at? Polaroid."

6. Quiz Time and Audience Engagement

The segment includes an interactive quiz segment, engaging guest Jess Hooker: [19:08] Tom Griswold: "Why can't we all be together?"

Jess Hooker playfully participates, enhancing the episode's lively atmosphere: [19:20] Chick McGee: "I yelled at her. No, you're resting your little head."

7. Guest Features and Closing Remarks

The episode concludes with mentions of upcoming guests and pop culture figures: [19:38] Christy Lee: "Actor Michael Rosenbaum. He knows some of the most talented people in the business..."

Danny Trejo is highlighted as a legendary figure joining the conversation: [19:59] Chick McGee: "You're a legend. Do you know you're a legend? You can't be a legend having this much fun."

Finally, listeners are encouraged to follow and listen to "The Inside of You Podcast" on their favorite platforms: [20:03] Christy Lee: "Follow and listen on your favorite platform."

[Christopher]

The next time you're traveling, don't forget about the historical and beautiful state of Illinois. Catch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Hit a riverboat casino in Peoria, and make sure you visit the charming community of Effingham, Illinois, where Interstate 70 meets the Little Wabash River. And whenever when you're in Effingham, visit the Effing House Family restaurant, founded in 1854 by the corpulent railroad magnate Colonel Harry S. Effing, the Effing House Family Restaurant is one of America's oldest and finest dining establishments. Start your day with the delicious Effing Country Breakfast featuring an effing omelette with toast, grits and a big effing beverage of your choice. Or try our bed. The Big Effing Deal Once again. This week, it's Effing ham and egg. For lunch, try the huge effing burger. And fried in a rich butter sauce mixed with big effing egg yolks. We call it the effing heart attack. It's an effing experience you'll never forget. And what about dinner? Juicy effing steaks with fresh effing veggies and a creme brulee. That's effing out of this effing world. Or go effing nuts with a hot fudge sundae. How would you rate the Effing House family restaurant?

[Jess Hooker]

It was the best effing experience of my life.

[Progressive Insurance Ad]

Rate this place?

[Pat Godwin]

Well, yeah, I wouldn't give it a B. I wouldn't even give it a C because it's effing A.

[Christopher]

In Effingham, Illinois, it's the Effing House family restaurant. You'll have an effing good time. For those of you who always need something extra, well, here you go. This is Bob and Tom. Extra.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Or as I like to call it in my head, the Big Mess. Hello, Tom. How are you, buddy?

[Chick McGee]

Doing okay? Sipping some tea over here. Doing just fine.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you say you had something new for Jess Hooker to concoct for us, if you will?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you want to get. Is she here?

[Tom Griswold]

She's here.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, she is here. Ms. Hooker. Oh, Ms. Hooker.

[Tom Griswold]

Hang on, I'll get her. Jess.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, boy. She's not going to like that.

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't see her.

[Pat Godwin]

She's coming.

[Christy Lee]

Ptsd.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now that's funny.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Jess. I saw her little eye roll and. Jess, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were even here. The larger point here is we talked about the song the. So it's called the Christmas Song, okay. Which is ballsy, by the way, to me to name your song the Christmas Song, before it's even a hit.

[Pat Godwin]

I know, but they nailed it.

[Christopher]

Boy, he nailed it good, though.

[Christy Lee]

We didn't know. I didn't know.

[Chick McGee]

And Mel Torme was quite interested in balls. Actually.

[Christy Lee]

It was just chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a min. What are you saying now? Mel Torme wrote the Alternate Lifestyle?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it was fine.

[Pat Godwin]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, absolutely.

[Pat Godwin]

It might be an assumption on his part.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. There's a variation of his nickname. Oh, no, no.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, geez.

[Chick McGee]

I know where you're. No, no, it's. It's. It's out there. Hi, Jess. How are you?

[Jess Hooker]

I'm well. How are you good?

[Chick McGee]

Huh? I'm terrible. But the point is, that song begins. It begins with a. This. The phrase chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Yeah, and chestnuts appears in a lot. I've never had a chestnut.

[Jess Hooker]

I haven't. I did some research over the weekend after you gave me this assignment, and I ordered. There's chestnut tools. You have to. You have to make an X at the top before you roast them on an open fire so that they don't burst.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hooker]

And then you usually serve them with butter and rosemary, like, dipped. All right, that's the plan. So we're trying probably, if not late this week, early next week.

[Christy Lee]

Are they in a shell? I mean, we have to shell like.

[Jess Hooker]

I'm not gonna make you shell your own nuts, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

I'll do it for you.

[Chick McGee]

What's it like showing your own nuts now that you're soloing?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no, no. I haven't spent all these decades becoming Chick McGee to shell my own nuts, I can tell you that.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what a chestnut looks like.

[Jess Hooker]

It is. It's. It's. It's looks like a buckeye, kind of. Yeah, it does look like a buckeye.

[Chick McGee]

But it's one of those things, like, for. I don't know what frankincense and myrrh are. Gum, I think in perfume or something like that.

[Christy Lee]

They were gifts.

[Chick McGee]

Chewing gum. Old times. You don't want to give a little baby chewing gum.

[Pat Godwin]

No, for the parents.

[Chick McGee]

Jesus wouldn't have made it to 33 if they gave him Juicy Fruit.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, they were frankincense essential oils.

[Jess Hooker]

Is what they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was some sort of a coconut leaf chewing tobacco, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

I'm so glad they called them frankincense and burnout essential oils. It sounds like. It sounds like. Well, Joseph drove up in a range after his Pilates lesson. He had. He took his essential oils.

[Christy Lee]

These are on.

[Tom Griswold]

I have to get a baby. I have to get a baby gift. Possibly some essential oils, you guys.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Just. I would like to show.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I'm mocking my own life.

[Jess Hooker]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

I know.

[Pat Godwin]

I want to shell my own chestnuts because I wanted the whole experience.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

We have to have a special tool for that.

[Chick McGee]

But it is one of those things. No one really knows what it is.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. So I'm gonna just do them on the grill. That seems to be the safest way. So have an open fire on the porch now.

[Pat Godwin]

Essentially. An open fire.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Y. This is leading to this story. I think this is Absolutely fascinating, because I think I'm the only one in the room interested in science.

[Tom Griswold]

We don't have a story. Yeah, you're. Yeah, you're a.

[Christy Lee]

Are you talking about the toy?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's a great.

[Christy Lee]

But no, no, we're gonna do Christmas. We're sticking with our Christmas.

[Pat Godwin]

This is something about steak.

[Chick McGee]

Steak the first. This is the food source of ancient humans in what is now called North America.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's mammoth in Alberger. Mammoth steak.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, all right.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Woolly mammoth.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Researchers used stable isotope analysis to model the diet of the mother of an infant discovered at a 13,000-year-old Clovis burial site in Montana.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't give the baby woolly mammoth.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, I love the fact that they think we have any idea what state a stable isotope analysis is.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I'm sure. So I'm sure it's important to have.

[Chick McGee]

It in there, but. Yeah, I have no idea.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't know what Si. Sia is? Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Boy, that's embarrassing.

[Chick McGee]

Really.

[Christy Lee]

They found that about 40% of her diet came from mammoth, with other large animals like elk and bison making up the rest. See how important protein is for you? Some people, small mammals, played a very minor role in her diet. These findings support the hypothesis that the ancient Clovis people specialized in hunting large animals rather than primarily foraging for smaller animals and plants.

[Chick McGee]

That's because if grog goes out there, well, I caught three chipmunks. Oh, really? Lloyd got a mammoth reading for a month.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't Clovis a southern name?

[Chick McGee]

Cletus. Clovis.

[Tom Griswold]

Clovis. And Cletus. And Larry.

[Jess Hooker]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

They all pronounce Cletus City boys.

[Tom Griswold]

That's her sister, Clintus.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Mama Labia.

[Chick McGee]

So, I mean, this is fascinating.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

How'd they bring down a mammoth?

[Pat Godwin]

Spears and stuff?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Maybe I tried. Maybe they drove them over cliffs or something.

[Pat Godwin]

Very obvious.

[Tom Griswold]

Drove them up. Yeah. Well, then they have to go down.

[Christy Lee]

The cliff, the mammoth, and then they.

[Tom Griswold]

Have to drag it back.

[Chick McGee]

They know that they can go around the long way. I'm just. I don't know.

[Jess Hooker]

I'm guessing a woolly mammoth. As big an elephant, you think?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say bigger.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, they may have been a little bigger, didn't they?

[Chick McGee]

And there's a guy right now trying to more or less recreate them.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Jurassic park style. So my point is, I think, Pat, maybe we can resurrect Loon Lake Lodge. Oh, I love. And serve. Serve Woolly Mammoth. Late. Great restaurant that had all kinds of elk and deer and all kinds of great.

[Christy Lee]

Our mammoth like elephants.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So we don't eat elephants.

[Pat Godwin]

No, because we have other things we can eat. This was what was available. This is essentially a story. People ate what they. What was available to them, what they could catch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And one thing, if nothing. I didn't give you the whole story. You know that rednecks redneck. And like, hillbilly caveman, they'd overcook it.

[Pat Godwin]

Is there a joke there?

[Jess Hooker]

Yes. I don't get that hillbillies like things well done. Well, I don't order medium or rare.

[Pat Godwin]

How is this ever.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't. I love it when he tries to talk white trash.

[Pat Godwin]

That's a stereotype.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I know that.

[Tom Griswold]

I've never heard.

[Pat Godwin]

Of course not.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Jess Hooker]

Ace eats everything. Well done. That doesn't apply.

[Chick McGee]

Ace is a rare. Black, yellow.

[Tom Griswold]

Rare black.

[Pat Godwin]

Ace is black trash.

[Chick McGee]

You never hear black trash.

[Jess Hooker]

Never.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, they.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

Reason there's a TV show they've never done.

[Christy Lee]

Black trash.

[Chick McGee]

Black hillbillies.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, I don't want to do this.

[Chick McGee]

So nervous, Right?

[Christopher]

Right after Melt or Maine.

[Jess Hooker]

Hey, I see you have a song about a woolly mammoth on your life.

[Chick McGee]

Uno, dos, one, two, Susie Quattro.

[Christopher]

Oh, you better stop messing in the lab after dark. Rem. Jurassic Park. Woolly mammoth, everybody.

[Chick McGee]

Woolly mammoth. Oh, yeah.

[Christopher]

Come on, now. Come on. Okay, we're on track now. The luffosaurus said Newman.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh?

[Christopher]

But not Sam Neill.

[Chick McGee]

Jurassic Park.

[Christopher]

Sam Neill wasn't tasty. Had no T. Rex appeal. Sing it for me now. Come.

[Tom Griswold]

Watch me now watch me.

[Chick McGee]

Here comes, Here it comes Here comes.

[Pat Godwin]

They're calling me the velvet.

[Christy Lee]

So now you're gonna. You're gonna ask Jess to make us woolly mammoth? Is that what you're asking?

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Jess Hooker]

Now, it's gonna be a while.

[Chick McGee]

It's gonna be. If this guy recreates woolly mammoth, I.

[Tom Griswold]

Don'T even think we can get elephant meat.

[Chick McGee]

You know the premise of. The Premise of the movie. The Freshman. Yeah, great movie. Where they. There's this whole dinner involving endangered species. People are eating them.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Do people ever eat elephant?

[Christy Lee]

I. That's my question.

[Jess Hooker]

I bet they do. You know, that's. Maybe different tribes eat elephant.

[Pat Godwin]

Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's not say the word tribe.

[Pat Godwin]

If they. I bet if they came across one that was dead. I don't. I can't imagine that they're killing.

[Chick McGee]

I think there's a place in Kenya where if you eat the whole thing, they put your picture on the wall.

[Pat Godwin]

That's really. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Popular place.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Not many people have done it. Didn't you try that once?

[Pat Godwin]

No, I never tried one of those.

[Chick McGee]

Giant steak eating. No, no, I'm not. Who's the comedian? I'm sorry.

[Jess Hooker]

Like the great outdoors.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

He thinks I did the old 96.

[Chick McGee]

Or whatever the hell. There was some comedian that.

[Pat Godwin]

No kidding.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry, I thought it was you. I didn't mean to.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, here's your directions for an elephant stew. Are you ready?

[Pat Godwin]

Where does this. What is this?

[Christy Lee]

Now you can eat there. Apparently species of elephant are hunted specifically for their meat in Cameroon.

[Tom Griswold]

Elephant stew recipe. Directions. Cut the elephant into bite sized pieces. Number two. This takes about two months.

[Chick McGee]

But they're not going to give you the story because all these recipes usually start with the story. Well, my grandma used to always make elephant.

[Tom Griswold]

Use large kettles, simmer equal parts. Cook for a couple days if you need. If more people are coming for dinner, add rabbits. But only do this if you don't.

[Christy Lee]

Have enough elephant meat.

[Jess Hooker]

Cut with rabbit.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And 500 pounds of assorted fresh vegetables.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What.

[Jess Hooker]

What are you reading?

[Christy Lee]

Elephant has been eaten since prehistoric times and it's still eaten in Cameroon. Central African Republican.

[Tom Griswold]

What does that say? Elephant stew.

[Jess Hooker]

Is that a picture of dog?

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

All right. So woolly mammoth probably tastes a lot like elephants, I would think. Although I remember my mom used to say we'd be eating chicken and she'd go, chicken doesn't taste like it used to taste when she was a kid.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's the way Alzheimer's manifested back then.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, they do say you're. We. We have like new tongues every.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Five or seven years or something.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. Things.

[Tom Griswold]

And your taste buds, however you are right about.

[Pat Godwin]

I think his point is that it's. Chicken's probably a little more processed. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But I. But I wonder if bananas do not taste as good as the original bananas we had before. Like before, like the 50s.

[Christy Lee]

No, I agree.

[Chick McGee]

Is there any way to quantify that is like scientific thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Bananas used to taste like the cream in banana. Banana flip pastries. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

A little. Little more on the banana.

[Tom Griswold]

A little richer flavor.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I just want to thank Pat for bringing back my love for Sam the Sham and the Fay Rose. Well, he's terrific. Good stuff.

[Progressive Insurance Ad]

Crazy stuff.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. That's a. That is such a great song.

[Pat Godwin]

It is a great song.

[Chick McGee]

The original Woolly Bully. If you're not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. Now we can. Anyways, Jess, thank you for sitting In. You're more than welcome to stay for a few minutes.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay. I'll hang out with you.

[Chick McGee]

I am really looking forward to the chestnuts.

[Jess Hooker]

I am, too. I'm excited to try it. And I like. I make chestnut dressing at Christmas and at Thanksgiving, so that's. The only way I've had them is when they're already prepared already. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So you buy them.

[Jess Hooker]

You buy them. They're already blanched. No. Yeah, they're. They're cracked. They're open. It's the middle. It's just the nut. And they've already been soaked, so they have a very. They have a dense. I don't know how to fix it. Yeah. Imagine if you. If you soaked a nut and. And it absorbed the water.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, you gotta soak that nut a little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Josh, what would you have if you had a nut on your chest?

[Pat Godwin]

I'd have a chestnut.

[Tom Griswold]

And what would you have if you had a nut on the wall?

[Pat Godwin]

A walnut.

[Tom Griswold]

What would you have if you had a nut on your chin, boyfriend?

[Pat Godwin]

I like the cleaned version.

[Chick McGee]

It's nicely done.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What are the things? So, water chestnuts. Those things in Chinese food that every time I have one, I go, why don't I have these in salad every day? They're so good.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, they're.

[Chick McGee]

Those have nothing to do with chestnuts, right?

[Tom Griswold]

No, they're not nuts at all.

[Jess Hooker]

No, no, they're. Yeah. I think they're a vegetable. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. So we've got. I'm really looking forward to finally finding out what chestnuts are.

[Pat Godwin]

You know what Another Christmas treat I've never had.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Figgy pudding.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

What is that?

[Pat Godwin]

Anybody ever had figgy pudding?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Jess Hooker]

I would like to, though. I love Fig Newtons.

[Christy Lee]

Is it figs? Figgy pudding?

[Pat Godwin]

One would assume, but I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

For sure from the name. I had fresh figs for one Christmas one time. Fresh figs.

[Chick McGee]

They're great.

[Jess Hooker]

So good.

[Tom Griswold]

Fabulous.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Ever see the. Ever see them. Ever see the movie version of D.H. lawrence, Women in Love?

[Pat Godwin]

No, I haven't.

[Chick McGee]

The fig scene.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because I said no.

[Pat Godwin]

And he goes, you know the fig scene?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he does.

[Chick McGee]

I was. I was talking to the more elite of the audience.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

Exposed to pure cinema. No, it's a. It's a rather sexual.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oliver Reed. And who was Alan Bates? It's a great scene. Now, what's coming up, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, gee, I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Everything's coming up Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, hey, did you know that Merriam Webster has announced the 2024. Word of the year.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. It's gotta be better than the dumb one last week.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think you're gonna like it.

[Pat Godwin]

Oxford announced theirs. Remember what the Oxford word of the year was?
