Podcast Host (Full Send)
We're just waiting for the cast to actually show up for work. Here's more Bob and Tom Extra.
Bob Kevoian
We have lots of letters here. We received them from you by going to bob and tomobandtom.com for starters, we had a new story yesterday about the actor William Shatner spotted driving somewhere in Los Angeles while eating a bowl of cereal and got a couple letters about that. And then I've got a. Maybe an update.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
I saw the picture of William Shatner sitting at a light eating cereal. Many years ago, one of my co workers was driving her car eating cereal and got on a huge wreck.
Josh Arnold
Oh, man.
Bob Kevoian
Plenty of idiots around, he says now.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but did the cereal cause the wreck? Probably not.
Bob Kevoian
I'm assuming, hands off the wheel. You got to have one hand holding the bowl, one hand holding the spoon. The rumor is that that was a Super bowl commercial being filmed.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. That may be what. That may be why that picture leaked out.
Josh Arnold
Huh?
Bob Kevoian
That would make sense. I don't know what.
Tom Griswold
Other than it seems kind of late to be filming the Super Bowl.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. This is about. Yeah.
Kelly
Or maybe the picture's old. We don't know when it was.
Bob Kevoian
Time will tell.
Kelly
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Right.
Bob Kevoian
So who knows? But that's. That is the. That is the rumor. That is what I have been told.
Tom Griswold
Now, that has long been your favorite part of the ending of the National Football League season, Often one of the greatest games ever played. The Super Bowl. And you don't really care to watch the action on the field?
Bob Kevoian
Depends who's playing. But I do enjoy the commercials very much. Speaking of the commercials, I got this book yesterday from Dr. Rick himself. Dr. Rick, the. This is the. Dr. Rick will see you now. A guide to unbecoming. Your parents, of course, from the famous Progressive Insurance commercials. And as portrayed by the actor Bill Glass, who we spoke to last week. But this is a terrific book. I don't know if this is available yet. This may be an advanced copy because. Rick, Rick.
Josh Arnold
No, it was a promotional item they made. And that's all.
Kelly
Yeah, they don't make it. That's a collector's item.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he said he can't get.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Josh Arnold
Hasn't been able to get them to make more yet.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, but they're very funny. We'll do a reading from this book coming up a little bit later on.
Tom Griswold
They would be an amazing gift for that special someone. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Back to the mailbag. Josh, you got something over there?
Josh Arnold
Sure. Yeah. Good morning, Idiot Circus and Christie as Teresa. Last night I was at Nationwide Arena. You know who plays there?
Tom Griswold
The Columbus Blue Jack.
Josh Arnold
That's right. Shakester.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And during a TV timeout, what pops up on the video board but clips from the film Mamma Mia.
Kelly
Yes.
Tom Griswold
No kidding.
Josh Arnold
The joyous sounds of Dancing Queen filled Nationwide. They flipped back and forth from the movie to crowd members dancing. Everyone. Everyone seemed to just love It. Yeah, Tom, we know you wouldn't like it, but you would like that. They also had a mini blimp dropping prize.
Bob Kevoian
All is forgiven.
Josh Arnold
Now she has for you Wordle players out there, she has bonus info. A great starting Wordle word is rents, R, E, N, T, S. She says it has five of the six Wheel of Fortune starter letters and it ends with S. So you know immediately if the world is plural.
Bob Kevoian
None of them.
Josh Arnold
You guys buy any of that?
Tom Griswold
I think it's. I don't know if it's a war, a rule or not, but. Yeah, they don't use plurals, I guess.
Josh Arnold
Oh, all right.
Bob Kevoian
Very rarely will a word end in S. Okay. In the game wordle.
Kelly
Did you see where the New York Times has now released a game for two people to play together?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's called Divorce.
Kelly
I couldn't find any more. It was in my news this morning and I couldn't find my time to.
Tom Griswold
Really.
Bob Kevoian
I know that Wordle and Connections have taken over my life. Yeah. And they're incredibly popular.
Kelly
Well, now you can play with Kelly a game. The two of you together.
Bob Kevoian
She kind of gave up on Wordle. And then we have a. We have a group here in the building that plays Connections, but a couple people have dropped out because they get so angry about some of the.
Tom Griswold
Well, no, some of the connections. It seems like every morning it's. These are magazines plus a letter. Yeah.
Kelly
What?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Or the middle syllable, if turned around backwards, is a chemical compound.
Tom Griswold
They get.
Bob Kevoian
They get ridiculous.
Josh Arnold
The Wordle has about 2 million players a day. Isn't that something?
Kelly
That is something.
Tom Griswold
That's a micro percentage of people.
Josh Arnold
Oh, sure. But I mean, that's still a pretty good number.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. Two million.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, sure.
Bob Kevoian
It's a lot of fun, but I. I would not recommend that word actually as a starter word, but that's a different story. You got a letter over there, Chick.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob at Top Show. Hey, Mike says from Midland, Texas. Hey, Mike, how about the Bob and Tom Book Club? He has some suggestions.
Josh Arnold
Okay, let's hear him.
Tom Griswold
I am appointing myself the president of the Bob and Tom Book Club. All right, Mike, our first book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Kelly
Oh, that's a good one.
Tom Griswold
First meeting will be this Sunday at 2:00'.

Tom Griswold
Would you participate in a book club?
Bob Kevoian
All right, now I don't have time.
Tom Griswold
Not even by.
Bob Kevoian
By zoom or I'm not going to get a chance to read that book by Friday or whatever. First meeting is Twilight in Paris yesterday. Dear Bob and Tom show. Writes Roland from Idaho.
Josh Arnold
Roland. Roland.
Bob Kevoian
Tom mentioned that when he was working one summer, one of the guys was a wannabe mortician and he had the vanity plate casket. That is true. I just retired from the funeral industry. I have the personalized plate ready. M B, A, L, M R. Oh, embalmer. Embalmer.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
Yikes. Okay, well, thanks, Roland, and hope you get some skiing in an Idaho.
Kelly
I have a letter from Idaho.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Kelly
VIP member for about 106 years. Well, thank you, Grant.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Kelly
Says, hey, Mike, Mark, and the rest of you or whoever reads this. The reason I put this for Christy is she likes sappy stuff and she loves Boise. Both true. First date was a blind date set up by a friend. We went to the zoo. Bird pooped on my date. We've been married 41 years and still going strong. See, that's kind of a. I poop.
Bob Kevoian
On her on her birthday.
Kelly
Oh, God.
Josh Arnold
As a reminder every anniversary.
Tom Griswold
She loves it.
Kelly
I tried.
Tom Griswold
Grant, would you turn 50?
Bob Kevoian
It was rough. I was very ill.
Kelly
He says, thanks all for doing what you do and much love from the great state of Idaho.
Bob Kevoian
I got one kind of similar, actually. Pooping from Bowling Green, Kentucky, from Brad. My first date was set up by a co worker. We went water skiing.
Aura Advertiser
Whoa.
Bob Kevoian
It was her dad's boat. I had never been water skiing before, but on the third try, I got up and was cruising around the lake. Well, that's great.
Kelly
That is great.
Bob Kevoian
Getting up that quickly. He goes. She swung wide. I ended up going through a 50 foot patch of cattails sticking out of the water, slicing my legs.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I bet.
Bob Kevoian
Because I didn't let go of the rope.
Tom Griswold
No, never. No, never let go of the rope.
Bob Kevoian
By the way, last August, our 50th anniversary. Brad, you're the man. Now, we should maybe do a little water skiing for your next anniversary.
Kelly
Wonder if they still ski.
Bob Kevoian
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
I bet. So I bet neither one of them could describe the other one to anybody. I have no idea. No idea what she looks like.
Aura Advertiser
Talking about 50 years.
Tom Griswold
Come on, they lead separate lives.
Bob Kevoian
50 years.
Tom Griswold
Kidney.
Bob Kevoian
Brad, I'm so sorry.
Josh Arnold
It wouldn't occur to me to drop the rope in those cattails either.
Bob Kevoian
No, you'd hope.
Josh Arnold
Just get me out of here. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Are you do you water ski?
Josh Arnold
No, we don't really.
Bob Kevoian
Have you ever? It's fun.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. When we were kids, we used to tube.
Tom Griswold
You like to tube?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Guest
That's a lot of fun.
Josh Arnold
You know, I tubed two years ago and I went. I think this is my last time tubing.
Tom Griswold
Okay. All right.
Kelly
Beat you up a little bit.
Josh Arnold
Well, when your older brother also was driving the boat, it was his goal, and he told me, he goes, my goal is to make you barrel roll for half a mile.
Tom Griswold
Boy. And once you start barrel, there's no stopping.
Bob Kevoian
There are certain things you can put a date on. For example, more or less. When did school pictures go from black and white to color? There's also something in that realm of tubing. The first time I did it, it was a truck tire tube. And the disadvantage of that, Christy, was.
Kelly
This is the big thing that sticks out.
Josh Arnold
So painful. Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
You wanted to.
Kelly
You wanted to make sure you were nowhere near that.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Which was impossible.
Kelly
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And there was no way to affix the tube. You had to hold on to it. Hold on to the line going to the boat.
Josh Arnold
Sure.
Bob Kevoian
But now the technology. We had one called a. The bullet.
Kelly
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Which was a. You would get inside it, and it was a. It was. It looked like a bullet, and it was great for tubing.
Tom Griswold
And they had handles inside.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Tubing technologies.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Kelly
Have you tried the surfing? The surfing behind the boats? Have you seen that?
Josh Arnold
Wakeboarding?
Kelly
No. It's actual surfing.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Whiteboarding?
Kelly
No, Wakeboarding. They.
Josh Arnold
Hold on.
Kelly
This is actual surfing?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. I haven't tried it, but. Okay. I'd be concerned about falling in and getting chewed up by the propeller. I assume you're far enough in back of the ship to.
Kelly
Well, yeah, a ship, but I usually. You go behind a boat.
Bob Kevoian
I thought it'd be a great gag. I'm sure someone's done this on a cruise ship to have someone water skiing behind it.
Josh Arnold
Boy, I can't imagine it would be.
Bob Kevoian
Possible to do it. What you would do is you'd get on a regular water ski boat and be water skiing and then have the tow line coming from the stern of the ship, you know, and then get. Then you'd ski up to it, reach down, grab the line, and you know how big those.
Kelly
Those ships.
Tom Griswold
Boats are.
Bob Kevoian
They're going fast enough.
Josh Arnold
No, I think they might be going too fast. I don't know.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, no, you can't go too fast.
Josh Arnold
You don't think so when you're water skiing.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, no. The world record for water skiing is like 100 miles an hour. Look it up.
Tom Griswold
I think he's right. Dear Bob and Tom show. Please bring back the segments. And I endorse this. The segment called here's one of the fattest things I've ever done.
Josh Arnold
You know, there is a special thing in the works.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I, I, we, I, I especially enjoy this feature.
Josh Arnold
There was a meeting last week about.
Tom Griswold
This is there's got to be some updated fattest things you all have done recently. I've actually incorporated this into the caring of my two dogs, a golden and an Australian shepherd. I, it's up to me if they do a fattest thing. So I, I do put whipped cream on the bottom of their food bowl, then put the food in and then put whipped cream on the top.
Josh Arnold
Oh, wow.
Tom Griswold
And they love it.
Bob Kevoian
Now, when they come away, do they have, like a big foamy face?
Tom Griswold
No. No, they don't. In the bowl, buddy. They like the pup cup, but it's in their food bowl.
Josh Arnold
There you go.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Do you use the kind to spray on?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. It's the. I'm gonna. I don't want to.
Bob Kevoian
What is that?
Tom Griswold
Ready Whip? Oh, really? Ready Whip? Sports desk. Yeah, why not?
Bob Kevoian
And then. Which is the one? Which is the one in the bowl?
Aura Advertiser
Cool Whip.
Bob Kevoian
Cool Whip.
Josh Arnold
That's what I prefer.
Bob Kevoian
Cool Whip comes Whip.
Kelly
I'm with you, Josh.
Bob Kevoian
Remember was the commercial.
Tom Griswold
Have you ever eaten a frozen Cool Whip? Just that out of the, out of the tub. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Not, like a lot, but I was annoyed that I didn't know that it needed to thaw, and I. So it was essentially like a scoop of ice cream on my pie.
Tom Griswold
And I think they have. They have chocolate koola.
Aura Advertiser
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And they have. They do. Because I know they have chocolate Ready Whip.
Bob Kevoian
They do.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Kelly
Really?
Bob Kevoian
This is. This show is so full of knowledge.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I had no idea.
Tom Griswold
Those are kind of the fattest things to be there. You have Cool Whip right out of the tub. Why not? Every Cool Whip out of the tub in the tub.
Josh Arnold
Oh, now that's, that's, that's living.
Tom Griswold
Got some.
Bob Kevoian
Absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Got some smoky jazz and the candles.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah. You ever dip your fingers in it? And just late at night, we're still.
Tom Griswold
Talking about Cool Whip. Right, Right. Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Put your finger.
Josh Arnold
Listen to Cool in the gang in the tub.
Tom Griswold
All this, and I've slowed down versions. Celebrate good times.
Aura Advertiser
Come on.
Tom Griswold
Come on. And put your fingers in it.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I've got the music ready if anybody. Does anybody have fattest thing they' ever done? Oh, should we wait and do the.
Josh Arnold
Same yeah, you can wait until it comes naturally, I guess.
Bob Kevoian
Or.
Josh Arnold
Or if you want to really want to play the song, you can.
Tom Griswold
Let me think.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom Griswold
No, I can't.
Bob Kevoian
Christy, can you think of anything?
Kelly
Oh, boy.
Josh Arnold
Nothing.
Tom Griswold
Recently, I've. I've. I've. I'm sure I've shared this before. I do get Oreo and Oreos. Cookies and cream.
Kelly
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And put more Oreos on top.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Tom Griswold
A package of Oreos. Crush up like three or four and then throw them in on top.
Guest
I had a cheat day yesterday.
Josh Arnold
Oh, well, here, play the song.
Guest
I slept with my girlfriend's sister.
Bob Kevoian
Well, it doesn't work.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's not.
Guest
No, I did.
Tom Griswold

Guest
It was a fat thing.
Kelly
Really didn't have it.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I remember one time at Jewelerttes in Harbor Springs, I had a Thundercloud, a burger, and some fries. And for dessert. For dessert, I had another order of fries. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Why not? It was great.
Tom Griswold
And what was that 50 years ago?
Bob Kevoian
It's a while back. Juliettes is closed, but I do have one of their chairs in my basement. When they.
Kelly
Lovely.
Bob Kevoian
When they closed, I went. I wanted one for why not nostalgic sake. Now, you and Josh, you have in your home, as I understand it, a booth.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. In your kitchen booth. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
A diner booth. That's kind of cool.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I love it.
Tom Griswold
And it has been updated since I saw it, because I believe you ordered one that was a little too small. The one I saw, the table where.
Josh Arnold
I wanted, the booth benches. The table was a little too narrow, so, yes, I got another. And now that first table is now my laundry table downstairs.
Tom Griswold
Nice.
Bob Kevoian
Do you have a. For example, a sugar holder like this, like you'd have at a diner?
Josh Arnold
No, because I don't. I wouldn't use sugar like that, but I do you have a jukebox with.
Kelly
Occasionally have on the wall.
Josh Arnold
Tiny jukebox. WI fi gifted to me by Ace Cosby.
Kelly
Oh, how nice.
Josh Arnold
Yes. It's a Bluetooth speaker.
Tom Griswold
It's a little tiny jukebox I used to have, and I just gotten lost in the shuffle. I had a Seaberg wall box, which is an actually A working one of those that hooks up to a main jukebox. It goes right in the booth.
Josh Arnold
Oh, cool.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it was a very cool thing.
Bob Kevoian
I had an actual jukebox there for a while. It played, but it worked with CDs, but it was still kind of cool.
Josh Arnold
My grandparents had one that worked with the smaller records.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, the 45.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Those are the classics, man.
Josh Arnold
I don't know. Whatever happened to that thing?
Bob Kevoian
And they've got. You get to watch the apparatus move around. That's very cool. Cool. Well, here's the fat theme song in case we ever come up with something.
Josh Arnold
So, so fat. I'm so, so fat. I am the fattest I am fastest Nobody's fatter than me Nobody's fatter than me All I do I eat and jerk it and jerk it and eat, jerk and eat Take them patties off and put the salami on make me with the bread stick.
