We're just waiting for the cast to actually show up for work. Here's more. Bob and Tom X. I got a bunch more letters here if you'd like to.
Kristi Lee
I dare you to read any. How about that?
Bob Kevoian
We were talking about taking the dare. Old. Old commercials and stuff today. Yesterday officially was national VCR day.
Chuck
The vcr vhs.
Bob Kevoian
I'm sorry, excuse me, VHS day. But obviously to play a vhs, you need a vhr. Vcr, vcr, vd. V of.
Kristi Lee
You know, there was a time they weren't sure if they're gonna go video cassette recorder or videotape recorder.
State Farm Announcer / US Soccer Podcast Host
Almost.
Kristi Lee
Almost was a VTR instead of a vcr.
Bob Kevoian
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Yesterday. So yesterday was VHS day. In honor of the tape.
Chuck
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
But we got talking about various tape things and various old commercials and we talked about the Maxcel commercial, which was the one with a guy sitting there. And Pat from Piedmont, South Carolina, writes, you may recall, it was a guy sitting in a chair and his hair is being blown back by the music.
Chuck
Yeah.
Christy
As well.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, it was great. It was a great.
Kristi Lee
And I believe the commercial on the tv, it had a video that went with it. The music's playing and the drink he had sitting on his table is being exactly blown back. And he slowly, coolly reaches over and grabs his drink right before it falls on the ground.
Bob Kevoian
A bit of trivia for Ace. The speaker being used in the ad is distinctive due to its cover audio. Fans will recognize it as a JBL L100 century. A very popular model, huh?
Kristi Lee
Yeah. Knew all about it. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, thank you very much. Now, I have more mail here. This next one is in. Actually involves a news story we have about license plates. What do they call vanity plates rejected by the state of Florida.
Chuck
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Did you say a story coming up or.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah, we can do it.
Chuck
I have it right here.
Kristi Lee
All right.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, go ahead.
Chuck
The list of 130 denied personalized license plate includes.
Kristi Lee
Don't you think they would make this like a nationwide thing? They would compile their listings for everybody.
Bob Kevoian
I have heard that the right. Various state agencies, they will share lists of. Be on the lookout for the following.
Chuck
Well, these were rejected in Florida last year. I don't. I think you should do most of
Bob Kevoian
these, Tom, because grab yourself A piece of paper and a pencil.
Chuck
Here's one. That's easy. 69.
State Farm Announcer / US Soccer Podcast Host
LOL.
Chuck

Love or lick? 69. No. What?
Chuck
I think it's just. She just got to say 69.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, this one. I. I didn't get it at first, but we'll see. I. We'll see if you guys should.
Kristi Lee
I write it?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, you're gonna have to write it down and look at it.
Kristi Lee
All right.
Bob Kevoian
And remember, it's all caps.
Kristi Lee
Right.
Bob Kevoian
And my first thought was wrong. I'll put him. Just put it that way. A55. Unta. A55. U, N, T, A. I feel like I'm.
Chuck
I don't have anything.
Bob Kevoian
Bingo.

A55 is ass. I'm guessing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, that's.
Tom Griswold

So I don't know about.
Bob Kevoian
I think it's supposed to be, like, Ass Hunter.
Kristi Lee
Asanta.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Kristi Lee
No. That doesn't.
Bob Kevoian
Not Ass Hunter.
Chuck
No.
Kristi Lee
Well, there's no. There's no age.
Chuck
Where the hell did you get Ass Hunter?
Bob Kevoian
He's an ass hunter.
Chuck
A Santa, maybe.
Kristi Lee
Okay, maybe it is Ass Hunter.
Bob Kevoian
What is it, then? Why would it be offensive?
Chuck
I don't know why, but it was offensive.
Kristi Lee
It was turned down in Florida. Yeah.
Chuck
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Well, okay, this is an easy. Here's a super easy one. Once again, all caps. D, E, Z, space, NTS.
Kristi Lee

Bob Kevoian
Although there's two of them.
Chuck
Oh, they're.
Christy
You're right both ways.
Chuck
No. E3, Z, NT, N, U, T5 was decent.
Christy
Christie is B, U, M, L, K, R on there?

Yes.
Chuck
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
HWK Numeral two. Aw, yeah, there's two of them.
Chuck
There's a hawk. Two H, A, W, K, T, W, O. Just right.
Bob Kevoian
Is the hawk to a girl still out in circulation?
Chuck
I don't think so.
Kristi Lee
I think she went through the proper channels, though. She had a podcast, and she was on a radio show, and then she went back to a podcast and she got in trouble for some bitcoin thing. Yeah, I don't know what happened to Her.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, here's 1. N numeral, 0 letters. R u, B, B, R. No rubbers. So it looks like it's no rubber again.
Kristi Lee
Wait a minute. What's the N? Oh, what's the last one?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, it's his letters. It's a numeral zero, obviously.
Kristi Lee
No, go ahead.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. R U, B, B, R. No rubber. No rubber.
Chuck
Which could mean. I mean, that could be a streetcar thing. Yeah, I mean, that doesn't have to be a sexual thing.
Christy
It just drives on bald tires.
Chuck
Yeah, no rubber. He doesn't leave any rubber.
Bob Kevoian
So you can avoid. But again, who'd want this on their car? I guess that's the other thing.
Chuck
What about N, F, U, X, space gvn?
Kristi Lee
Oh, yeah. Something. No. Something given. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
How about numeral 2?
Tom Griswold

Christy
Yeah. Penis. There you go, Christy.
Kristi Lee
Try it again. Sounds out.
Bob Kevoian
Do you suppose somebody has ever products. Just suppose somebody's ever actually gotten into a serious automobile accident because they were trying to read the idiots vanity plate in front of them, not paying attention. The next thing you know, they. Well, I smashed into it because I thought it said penis.
Chuck

A guy tried to get the spelled out F word with just an extra K at the end.
Kristi Lee
So he said F, U, K, K,
Bob Kevoian

Chuck
That you're funny? I don't know.
Kristi Lee
Have you ever given a thought to vanity plate?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, but as I explained to you a long time ago, you sure did.
Kristi Lee
Great advice actually.
Bob Kevoian
I want to get your car keyed.

State Farm Announcer / US Soccer Podcast Host

You know what? I got no idea.
Bob Kevoian
I don't either.
Christy
Yep, I know my last four letters because it's fah and I was like ah, fa and then it stops.

Bob Kevoian
Dear Bob and Tom show writes Robert I thought I thought of you the other day. I was behind a car. The license plate was ready T O E S K R. Toe sucker. Toe sucker.

You'd like to suck toes. Why do you think of you? That's interesting.

No, he thought of all of us. Oh but no, I know I have no interest in. No.
Christy
You've never had a toe in your mouth?
Kristi Lee
God no.
Christy
Not even accidentally one didn't know.
Bob Kevoian
No, no.
Kristi Lee
There's only one reason to have any sort of interlude and that's to make a baby. You know that.
Christy
Oh, I forget.
Bob Kevoian
You've had toes in your mouth.
Christy
I mean I didn't put them there, they just ended up there. Like sometimes they're up by your face and they get absolutely mingled around and
Musical Guest / Performer
yeah, one might end up in your mouth.
Bob Kevoian
You're going to get athletes lip. Disgusting.
Chuck
Do you wear socks to bed?
Bob Kevoian
No.
Kristi Lee
Well but arguably you have.
Chuck
But don't you have a toe fungus thing? Wouldn't you want to protect your shoes?
Kristi Lee
You have interesting. The best I could say is you have interesting feet.
Bob Kevoian
You know that I saw a woman your foot ownership a coffee shop was Saturday. Extremely attractive woman. Had to have feet bigger than mine. And I'm a size 12 men's.
Christy
Was she in sandals?
Bob Kevoian
No, she was an open toed. Whatever.
Chuck
I mean these now those are sandals.
Bob Kevoian
I don't usually notice but yeah, I don't care for. She was extremely, very tall, probably taller than me, probably over six feet. But I mean she had a. Wow.
Kristi Lee
Did she talk like this?
Bob Kevoian
No, no, she.
Chuck
So you were looking down at the ground, you weren't looking at her.
Kristi Lee
Tom, I love you.
Bob Kevoian
I had to, I had to resist going, hey, what size are those?
Kristi Lee
It's a wonder you didn't.
Bob Kevoian
That's exactly like. Can you get. Can you get clogs for those things locally or do you have to go clogs?
Kristi Lee
Well we've had that discussion. There's a shoe store in town that stayed in business because they have size 14 pumps, you know and yeah, we
Bob Kevoian
had A drag queen guy in here.
Christopher (Bob and Tom Show Extra Host)
He was great.
Bob Kevoian
And he. That.
Chuck
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
There's also a place all the NBA guys go to. Someplace in Atlanta.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I forget.
Bob Kevoian
Specializes in massive shoes.
Kristi Lee
Size 24.
Bob Kevoian
Lady had had big feet. She was lovely.
Kristi Lee
Other than her big feet thing.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, my gosh. We were talking about this earlier. Now it's official. Yesterday was VHS day, National CD Day. Today is observed October 1, celebrating the anniversary of the 1982 commercial release of the compact disc player. Thank you, Benny in Kalamazoo.
Kristi Lee
Do you remember the first song you played on the air from a cd?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah. Born to Run, Spring Steel.
Chuck
No kidding.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Chuck
It was right here in this building.
Kristi Lee
Games people play. Alan Parsons.
Chuck
Really?
Kristi Lee
Off cd. And it was a compilation of songs. It wasn't.
Bob Kevoian
And some of the early CDs, apparently, were quite literally. They just took the vinyl record and pumped it into the thing and.
Chuck
Yeah, well, yeah. How else would they have done it?
Bob Kevoian
No, no, no, not the master tapes. They apparently took an actual vinyl record and.
Kristi Lee
Is that bad?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah.
Christy
Oh, I remember getting my first Discman and being super excited about it to, like, take it out running. You could not run. Like, it just skipped the entire time. Like, what about the new technology they
Kristi Lee
introduced the Discman, then they had to introduce the anti skip or whatever it was, which also didn't work.
Christy
You could just have it on the dashboard of your car and every bump you hit, it would skip a cd. Like wrap it in a towel.
Bob Kevoian
Elvis had a. This is true. He had a record player in one of his cars.
Christy
Really?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. And I was reading about it. It said, apparently to keep the records from skipping, it had a very heavy tone harmony. And the guy jokingly wrote, you could virtually see the vinyl appealing off the grooves.
Chuck
He only got to play the album once.
Bob Kevoian
Elvis was cool.
Chuck
What could have been on a really cool, like, floating, you know, situation in the back where the vibration would have been.
Musical Guest / Performer
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And I wonder what the life. Do they make any cars today that have a CD player in it? Do you think?
Chuck
I don't?
Kristi Lee
Oh, I'm sure they do. Yeah.
Chuck
Really?
Bob Kevoian
My last Jeep Grand Cherokee, I didn't know it had a CD player until I hit the wrong button one day. Hey, look at that.
Kristi Lee
You know, I have no idea. I'm not secure enough to tell you that I don't have a CD in my car. I'm not sure. I don't think I do, but.
Bob Kevoian
Got a great letter. I love it when people get it.
Christy
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And maybe they get it because they've been too exposed to this program, this is from Casey Listening in Fort Wayne. He writes, I hope all went well with Pat Goodman's surgery and he can return quickly and play his hit song toast.
Kristi Lee
Wonderful.
Chuck
As of 2026, the Subaru WRX is the last remaining production car that offers a factory installed CD player usually available as an optional accessory. So there you go.
Christy
Like those.
Chuck
I don't know, I haven't seen a wrx.
Christy
They have like that front hood scoop, kind of silly Japanese kind of race car. Oh, cool.
Chuck
You know, I like that.
Christy
And it comes in a manual.
Kristi Lee
Oh, you've been on this.
Chuck
You get a manual and a CD player. Dude, you'd be, huh.
Kristi Lee
I'd love to find a little manual sports car. You know, that'd be fun.
Chuck
I wish I still. I wish I had gotten rid of mine.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I got rid of it. I had. My favorite car was a. A Datsun. It was before they changed the name. A Datsun 280Z.
Chuck
I hated you for that. That was my dream car. And then you pulled up in here.
Christy
What color?
Bob Kevoian
Blue.
Kristi Lee
It was beautiful.
Bob Kevoian
And I brilliantly put a. Yeah, I put an aftermarket sunroof in it. I called it the Sieve. I don't think I got the right model.
Kristi Lee
You think these should be more, I don't know, waterproof?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, there should be a way to all show on really stupid aftermarket things you've done to a car.
Christy
I wanted to do that. And my dad goes, only morons put in aftermarket.
Chuck
Didn't you do the remote start aftermarket too? That was not. Didn't go well.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, that went very badly. You know, you gotta.
Kristi Lee
You gotta wonder what's in the remote starts now that they work so always.
Chuck
Yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I put a remote start in and I want to say it was twelve hundred dollars. Yeah, they had to redo the whole. They had to tear the motor apart.
Kristi Lee
Absolutely.
Bob Kevoian
And got me in trouble twice. I'd be driving down the. I was one time on the main freeway. Boom. Engine went off. Had to get the car towed. What? Then I kept. Oh, it's okay. Then I went back again. Happened again. So, yeah, okay, that was. That was a really dumb move. But back to the car you want. What would you like? What kind of a.
Chuck
This is a cool car. Actually, I'm looking at it right now. I have not seen one before.
Bob Kevoian
This is the Subaru.
Chuck
Yeah. The wrx.
Christy
Yeah. They're pretty sweet.
Chuck
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Well, you can still add like an under dash CD player, right? Or something.
Chuck
Well, you get a CD player in this car right? Yeah. Oh, you mean in your car right now?
Bob Kevoian
Did you have. Did you have an under dash 8 track?
Kristi Lee
I had an under dash 8 track. I had an under dash FM converter.
Christy
Did you have a CB?
Kristi Lee
Did not have a CD. CB did not go the CB. I don't know why. My mom was a big CB lady
Bob Kevoian
and I know your mom's handle. Am I correct? Was. Do you want me to not say it?
Kristi Lee
No, no, go ahead.
Bob Kevoian
Was your mother's handle black leather?
Kristi Lee
Yes.
Christy
Was it really?
Kristi Lee
Yeah. Oh, you don't know that. Yeah, yeah.
Christy
You may have blocked that out.
Kristi Lee
There's something else.

State Farm Announcer / US Soccer Podcast Host
The u. S. Soccer podcast presented by henkel. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
Date: July 1, 2026
This “B&T Extra” delivers the signature blend of humor, nostalgia, and playful banter that defines The BOB & TOM Show. The episode zeroes in on three main topics: quirky letters from listeners, a hilarious rundown of Florida's most rejected vanity license plates, and fond memories for National VHS Day. Throughout, the conversational dynamic among Bob Kevoian, Tom Griswold, Kristi Lee, Chuck, and Christy creates an energetic and relatable listen, peppered with anecdotes, pop culture nods, and cheeky observations.
[03:53 – 04:35, 15:15 – 16:43]
[05:28 – 13:34]
Chuck reads a list of 130 denied personalized license plates, sparking a rollicking team effort to decode the lewd, silly, or ambiguous submissions.
The group sounds out possibilities, often giggling over double meanings or misinterpretations. Some rejected plates discussed:
The team shares theories on why people risk suggestive plates and wonders if anyone has crashed while deciphering them.
[13:35 – 14:55]
Kristi and Bob share a tangent sparked by a listener’s story of a license plate reading “TOESKR.” This launches into a foot-in-mouth (literally) discussion, with Christy and Kristi swapping tales of accidental toe encounters.
The conversation wanders to fascinating foot sightings in public, extraordinary shoe sizes, and the specialist outlets catering to drag queens or athletes.
[16:44 – 19:55]
Chuck reports the Subaru WRX is now the only production car in 2026 with a factory CD player.
Everyone shares their “favorite first car” and aftermarket mishaps—Bob tells the saga of installing a sunroof (dubbed “The Sieve” for its leaks) and a $1,200 remote start that stalled his car twice on the freeway.
The crew reminisces about 8-tracks, FM converters, CB radios, and, amusingly, Kristi’s mom’s CB handle: “Black Leather."
This B&T Extra episode is a rolling, laugh-heavy ride through memories of fading technology, bad (and bawdy) vanity plate ideas, and the timeless goofiness of customizing cars and media. The hosts’ camaraderie and sharp comedic timing make even shoe and toe talk oddly compelling. A treat for fans of radio nostalgia and anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at a clever (or not so clever) license plate on the highway.
