Overview

This BOB & TOM Show Extra episode is classic laid-back team banter, fueled by listener letters and emails, oddball wildlife stories, witty musical comedy, and the gang’s signature take on everything from dog adoptions to Crunchwrap Supremes.

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Listener Letters and Wild Osprey Story

[02:10 – 05:06]

• The show opens with host Christopher highlighting extra content, kicking into listener interaction right away.

• Listener Eric writes in about Josh’s story of witnessing an osprey catch a squirrel, expressing both horror and fascination.

• Josh (D) recounts, in vivid and darkly comic detail, the disturbing encounter:

  “We heard some rustling, and this osprey had tackled a squirrel. They landed on the bank, and the osprey was freaking trying to keep the squirrel controlled with his talons. Squirrel was screaming—a nightmarish sound... Finally, the osprey just took its talon and slowly pushed the head of the squirrel just underwater enough to drown it. And then looked at my brother and I. The osprey just stared at us while it slowly drowned.”
  — Josh, [03:26 – 04:16]

• The rest of the cast responds with a mix of fascination and comedic shock.

  • “Oh my God.” — (B) [04:16]
  • “Classic bird of prey there.” — Josh, [04:39]

• Brief clarification on how large ospreys are, and speculation on their diet.

2. Pat Godwin Musical Comedy Request

[05:06 – 07:14]

• A listener requests a Pat Godwin song, specifically "Voices in My Head".

• Pat performs the tune live, in his signature style, leading to some light ribbing and playfulness:

  “The voices in my head said you jump the wall and run / Am I gone? You know that I was right, so I won’t put up a fight...”
  — Pat Godwin, [06:05 – 07:14]

• Bob calls it his favorite Godwin song, cementing the segment as a show highlight.

3. Adopting Retired/“Too Sweet” Military Dogs

[07:14 – 08:56]

• A listener from Fort Gordon, GA, shares info about adopting dogs that didn’t qualify as military dogs because they’re “too sweet.”
• Discussion about the 341st Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base and their adoption process.
• Banter about how to evaluate puppy temperament:
  • “You’re supposed to pick them up and hold them and then put them on their back and try to rub their belly. If they fight you, that’s not a great dog.” — (B), [08:30]
  • “Submissive—yeah, baby.” — (E), [08:51]
• Jokes about dogs that fail out of service dog school because they’re too friendly; loving comments about such dogs making great pets.

4. Listener Chase: “Hunter Hunter” & On-Air Name Hilarity

[09:30 – 10:33]

• Listener “Chase” (C-H-A-Y-S-E) corrects an earlier story and shares that the name means “hunter” in French, so “Chase Hunter” is “Hunter Hunter.” The cast riffs on funny name translations.

5. Chick’s Malapropisms & More Letters

[10:33 – 11:23]

• Listener Sarah points out “Chick” (D) says “pacifically” instead of “specifically”—and Chick jokes about doing it intentionally after years of show banter.
• Another fan writes in about loving Raycon earbuds, which cues more raunchy, playful banter.
  • “I’d like to see your girlfriend set.” — (D), [11:23]
  • “Of Raycons!” — (E), [11:25]

6. Flashing, Mooning, and Show Pranks

[11:27 – 12:56]

• The group veers into who among them (or their friends/family) were mooners in their younger days.
  • “Who’s the last person you showed your set to?” — (B), [11:44]
  • “My brother John’s a mooner.” — (D), [12:16]
• Josh admits to sometimes “Donald Ducking” (going pantless)—played entirely for comedic effect, with deliberate exaggeration.

7. “Fruit Bowl” and the Anatomy of Show Lingo

[13:00 – 14:30]

• Callback to a prior discussion: what do you call the male anatomy visible from behind? The terms “clapper,” “landing gear,” “fruit bowl,” and “Tom Dooley” are tossed around.
  • “I called the hangdown from the back ‘Operation Dumbo Drop.’” — (D), [14:03]
  • “Hang down your head, Tom Dooley.” — (B), [14:19]

8. Crunchwrap Supreme: Delivery vs Dine-In

[16:10 – 17:27]

• The cast dissects the Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme:
  • “Did you get it in house or delivered?” — (G), [16:29]
  • “You can’t do it delivered! It’s not crunchy anymore. You gotta get that in house.” — (G), [16:32]
  • Listener “Tiny” shares he paused a TV ad, dashed to Taco Bell for a Crunchwrap, came home, and continued watching while eating it. Whole group laughs at the dedication.

9. Running Gags & Show Culture

• “Tiny” as a first name and what profession it implies.
• Closing with more jokes about unusual last names (e.g., “Tiny Carpenter”), classic BOB & TOM in-jokes, and affinity for bantering about bodily functions or anatomy.
