[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]

[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]

• Discussion about the 341st Training Squadron at Lackland Air Force Base and their adoption process.
• Banter about how to evaluate puppy temperament:

One of my favorite moments of the show ever. Yesterday, Josh talking about seeing the Osprey catch the squirrel.

[D]

Oh, boy. That was disturbing.

[B]

I think he was just showing Josh what it was like to have a shore lunch.

[D]

He sure did have one.

[B]

Man, since Josh is a catch and release fisherman, have a good day. That's from Eric.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

You told us this story. You went fishing with your brothers and they're on the. They're on the shore.

[D]

Yeah. We're Jeff, my older brother and I are in his bass boat. And we're. We're fishing close to the bank and trying to find those ditch pickles, if you will.

[B]

The large amount ditch pickles. That's. That's fisherman talk.

[D]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Looking for lunkers. Trying to find some tanks. Chick. Yeah. Sometimes you get toads right up there on the. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Okay. All right.

[D]

Gotta find those hogs.

[B]

Oh, caught me a hog. Nice.

[D]

Anyway, and we heard some rustling. It sounded like a rock rolling down the hill right there at the bank. And all of a sudden, we hear some animal noises. We look up, and this osprey had tackled a squirrel. And they were rolling down the hill, and they landed onto the bank. And the osprey was trying to keep the squirrel controlled with his talons and kind of pecking at it every now and again. And the squirrel was screaming, which is a nightmarish sound. I hadn't heard a squirrel do that before. You know, we all hear animals, but, boy, it was awful. And 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.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[D]

And we were just like, good Lord.

[E]

How big is an osprey? They're pretty big.

[D]

It was like. It was hawk or falcon size, maybe a little smaller, but it was. I mean, it's a big bird.

[B]

Squirrel was screaming.

[D]

Yeah, well, for a while. And then it was bubbling, chilling. Nature.

[B]

No, osprey like squirrel. That's interesting.

[D]

Oh, boy. Classic bird of prey there. They'll.

[B]

I had no idea. Hey, Bob. And top show, this is my favorite time of the year where we get references from. Wait a minute. From this century. No poop talk, no butt talk, no sodomy talk. My request is to hear a song from Pat Godwin. I know I bug you guys a lot, but I swear I. I won't write the rest of this week.

[D]

No worries. We'll get that request for you tomorrow.

[B]

That's actually, I've got it right here. It's Pat Godwin and my favorite Pat Godwin song. It's Voices in my Head. Okay, all right, here we go.

[F]

Voice in my head told me that.

[B]

I love you.

[F]

The voices in my head said you love me too yes, they do. You know they're always right. So listen. And I hear the voices in my.

[E]

Head.

[F]

Yeah the voices in my head said we'll always be together so I got your name tattooed in fame and on my forehead they come in crystal clear But My doctor, he can't hear the voices in my ear yeah, the voices in my head said to stop my medication? 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 the forces in my. I see you on TV and the voices are telling me that you want me and you need me and your boyfriend should be dead and gone? The voices in my head Said to break in your apartment and hide under the bed? Cause you're love was just a lie? You too must die soon. Tonight I'll stalk Tomorrow I'm insane so my lawyer says I'll walk Cuz I got voices in my head. Got voices in my head. Got voices in my head.

[B]

Ah, that's Pat Godwin. Voices in My Head. Far and Away. My favorite Godwin song. Good morning, Bob and Tom Show. Greetings from Fort Gordon, Georgia. Oh, let's see. Yesterday you were all taught. You're all talking about a place to adopt dogs that are too sweet to be canine units.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Or military working dogs. That place is located in San Antonio. The 341st Training Squadron located at Lackland Air Force Base, Lachlan Air Force Base is responsible for most of the military working dogs in the DOD Department of Defense. To adopt a dog, they have certain criteria listed on their website. Oh, the biggest caveat is that you have to pick up the dog in person. I saw these little dogs and they had. They put little vests on them to train them. And this, the one that was too sweet to be a canine unit. Rolled over on his back, was just trying to play with the guy. It was adorable.

[D]

So the canine unit is the dog itself. It's not the. You don't say.

[B]

Well, I think the unit is the. The officer and the. And the dog.

[D]

Oh, yeah, the department. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

The sweet, sweet dog. I wonder if that's for retired military dogs or the dogs that are too sweet.

[B]

This was a place to adopt the dogs that couldn't make the cut.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

Pick up the dog. And I. I've always heard that you're supposed to. Well, this is what I. When I picked out my last dog, which was. Oh, well, now, two or three years ago, you're supposed to pick them up and hold them and then put them on their back and try to rub their belly. And if they fight you in any way, that's not a great dog. But if they lay back and go, yeah, man, whatever.

[E]

Submissive. Yeah, baby.

[D]

Even puppies.

[B]

Especially puppies.

[D]

Oh, okay.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

There's A whole. I thought puppies would just sort of instinctually play with you if you rub their belly.

[B]

No, they try to. Yeah. If they're really too aggressive.

[D]

Oh, I got you.

[B]

I don't. That's just one thing I've heard. Certainly not a hard and fast rule.

[E]

They also do this with dogs that are training to be service dogs. Like I can will have dogs that fail out of school because they're too.

[G]

Sweet or they didn't make it through the movie without barking. I love when they have them all lined up in the movie theater.

[B]

I do love that. That picture of them in the movie.

[E]

Those dogs make wonderful pets as well.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

Sweet little babies.

[G]

I got a letter here from Chase with a hello, Chase, spelled C H A Y, S E. Is that right?

[B]

Hang on. You can read his letter, but I don't care for Chase. Go ahead.

[G]

Oh, I like it.

[B]

Oh, yeah. All right.

[G]

Dear Bob and Tom, on Monday show Christie read a story about a man named Chase Hunter who helped rescue a deer from the ocean. As a fellow Chase, I felt compelled to share that the name Chase actually means hunter in French. So that man's name was actually Hunter. Hunter. Thanks for the laughs. Chase in southern Oregon.

[B]

See this? I've told Josh this ever since I've known him. If he has a baby, if he has a kid, boy or girl, you gotta name it Arnold.

[D]

Yeah, Arnold.

[B]

Arnold.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Damn right.

[D]

Should I do middle Arnold? A Arnold? Aaa.

[B]

Yes.

[G]

I have a stand for like Aloysius or something like that.

[D]

So a Chase Long is. That means Hunter lounge. Yeah, I guarantee that's a different Chase. Yeah, that's more shades, isn't it?

[B]

I believe this says Dear Bob and Tom show. Hey, chick, I love you, but I'm cracking up hearing you say you. You. I heard it twice so far today. Instead of specifically, you say pacifically. Lol. She says, sarah, I assure you that I know the difference between specifically and pacifically. However, I've effed around so long in my life that I say specifically off the air so much, it kind of sneaks on the sometime. So I. I apologize. Of course, I'm specifically apologizing for saying specifically. There you go. Dear Bob and top show. Longtime listener, first time writing in. I finally made the switch to Raycon earbuds and I love them. I got myself and my girlfriend is set, and we both love them. Well, thank you very much.

[D]

I'd like to see your girlfriend set.

[E]

Hey.

[D]

Of Raycons.

[B]

Oh, is that right? Yes.

[D]

What the hell?

[B]

Why would you say something?

[D]

No, I. All I said was, I want to see your earbuds, Christy. You turned it into something gross.

[E]

Yeah. You believe in this room a long time.

[B]

Who's the last person you showed your set to? Oh, my husband. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. There you go.

[E]

I don't walk around showing.

[G]

Have you ever flashed, like, a crowd or like, you've never, like, flashed at a concert or anything?

[B]

Not the front or the booty? No. No moon.

[E]

I'm not a mooner.

[B]

No mooning.

[E]

No.

[B]

You look like you had a lot of friends in high school and college that moon people a lot.

[D]

Not a lot of friends, but there was one guy who was constantly mooning.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Actually, my brother John's a mooner.

[B]

No.

[D]

Yeah, No, I mean, I think I probably have mooned, but it. Not. I don't remember it, so that would tell you the extent.

[E]

But your brother likes to do it, but.

[D]

Yeah, my brother John's a mooner.

[B]

You're a. What do they call this? You walk around with pants a lot in public without pants. I'm sorry, without pants.

[D]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah, you've done that here in the. In the relatively. Donald Duckett short time that you've worked here. You've had.

[D]

I like being. I like the public to see my penis and bowl. And I don't think.

[B]

I for sure thought you were going to say your gorgeous legs, but I.

[D]

No, no, they can. I mean, if they want to look at my legs, can. But I'm really hoping they look okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's right. I. I see that.

[D]

Yeah. I. I like seeing the surprise in their face.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Let's see. We were talking last week about coming up with a name for the male hang down that you could see from the back. You remember this? Factory air for the ladies. And what do we come up with? Clap. The Clapper. The.

[D]

The Clapper was sent in landing gear.

[E]

Conversation.

[D]

Yeah. So if you can look at a man.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

And from. From the back, he's naked, and you can see his hang down between his legs. We think that's pretty impressive.

[E]

What's the salad bowl? Isn't there something.

[B]

The salad bowl is a mooning.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

That from behind you can see everything.

[D]

Oh.

[B]

Oh, okay.

[D]

That's a good name.

[B]

Jim. And the twins and. And the. And, yeah, that's called. No, it's called the fruit bowl.

[D]

Bowl.

[G]

Yeah.

[B]

It looks like a banana.

[E]

That would make a lot more sense than a salad bowl.

[B]

It looks like a banana. Two plums and. Yeah, that is.

[D]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

That's why they call it the fruit bowl.

[D]

I called the hang down from the back. Operation Dumbo Drop.

[E]

Oh, I like. That's funny.

[B]

Well, Justin suggests, I think, the obvious, probably not suitable for air should be five o' clock shadow.

[D]

All right, Justin. That.

[B]

That's not fair. You're right. But in. That is, though, hang down your head with the Tom Dooley. Call it the Tom Dooley. That is nice.

[D]

Tom Dooley's good.

[B]

Yeah. Tom would like that, too.

[D]

Yeah.

[E]

I mean, do you know if you.

[B]

Have that feature, I think you're aware of it. If you.

[D]

Yeah, well, if you're a guy.

[E]

How would you know?

[G]

Well, I like when I pee, I like to spread my feet, like four feet apart. That way you get the hang down no matter what.

[B]

You're a wide. You have a wide stance.

[G]

I do, I do. I like to get it down low. I like to rest my. My boys on the shelf there.

[D]

Oh, you. You pee like Jean Claude Van Damme. One foot on the tub edge and one foot on the sink.

[E]

Yesterday we were speaking of this. We were talking about. I said something about the Amazon logo, looks like a penis. And this lady, Wendy from South Bend. Christie, I too, agree with you. The Amazon arrow does look like a penis. You go, girl. Thank you.

[D]

I did scoff at that. Let me see.

[B]

The Amazon logo is the word Amazon. And then they're over the top of it, there's an arrow that goes from A and points at the Z. And that means they have everything from A to Z is what I've read. I don't know.

[E]

That's true. But it's supposed to mean Christy, who.

[B]

Has penis on the brain, thinks she sees the penis.

[D]

You ladies are wanting to see a penis?

[E]

You know what? I've always heard that women should be happy about that.

[B]

Women aren't. Women aren't that stimulated by visual images.

[D]

Most they say, most aren't. Yeah, well, I think that's changing. I think a lot of women are watching porn and stuff like that.

[B]

Is that right?

[D]

The numbers are.

[B]

Well, the proof's right there in the numbers.

[D]

I mean, what are you gonna do? You. You.

[B]

Yeah. You gotta give them what they want, right?

[D]

It's in the pudding. We talked about the Crunchwrap supreme yesterday from Taco Bell.

[B]

I got one.

[E]

Did you?

[D]

Oh, good move.

[B]

I got my normal order. Soft taco supreme, crunchy Taco supreme, and Chicken quesadilla. Oh, can't go wrong. So I got a Crunch Wrap. I was a little disappointed.

[G]

Now, did you get it in house or delivered?

[B]

I got it delivered.

[G]

You can't do it delivered. It's not crunchy anymore. No, because you gotta get that in house.

[B]

The hard taco supreme, it arrived and was beautifully crunchy.

[G]

There's something about the crunchwrap. It steams that inner crunch away.

[B]

Kidding.

[D]

It does. But I found crunch when I pick it up from the drive through. But I think I'm faster through a drive through than probably a delivery service is getting.

[B]

Because you care more.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

Yeah.

[G]

Well, you also don't have eight stops on the way to your house to drop off food to other people's house.

[D]

Yeah, exactly. Robert, who goes by Tiny.

[B]

Hi, Tiny.

[D]

The first time I saw a commercial for the Crunch wrap Supreme, I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. I paused the commercial, drove to Taco Bell, bought one, went back home unpause to the commercial, and I was eating one while finishing the commercial.

[B]

Tiny, you're today's listener email.

[D]

What his last name be a profession?

[E]

I don't, you know, honestly, I don't know. I know Tiny's last name.

[B]

Tiny. Tiny Carpenter. Not carpenter.

[E]

But it's not carpenter.

[D]

It does start with a C. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Tiny construction worker.

[D]

That's it.

[B]

That's an odd name, but okay.
