Ace
I doubt it. There's no way. But they.
Josh
Why would that be any more dangerous than an actual. Just a regular sword cutting through things. Right.
Ace
The light. If it were actually a laser type.
Christy Lee
Thing, I'm not sure they can limit the way they go about, what, three feet? Then they stop.
Ace
That's what I've always heard scientists say is the problem with the lights.
Christy Lee
That's the trick.
Ace
They can't get it to stop.
Josh
They said same thing about the atom bomb. Look, we don't know if this is gonna. That's our big concern.

Josh
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
But there are lightsaber lessons you can take.
Tom
Really?
Christy Lee
And. And there are. There is a French lightsaber club.
Josh
Of course there is.
Christy Lee
And here's a headline. People in Mexico learning lightsaber fencing at the Jedi Knight Academy.
Ace
I didn't think people in Mexico knew the word fence.
Josh
Hang on a second. How's that T?
Christy Lee
Okay, Luke, I am your padre. Then we have. Yeah. France's fencing federation recognizes lightsaber dueling.
Ace
I mean, it is essentially fencing. It's sword fighting.
Josh
Francis, France has a fencing federation? What am I saying? Of course they do. Yeah. Why wouldn't they?
Christy Lee
Am I the only one that thinks that Princess Leia's hair looks like kind of a cinnamon buns or croissant? They want to keep up the tradition. We'll find out more about lightsabers, et cetera, et cetera. Right, now it's time to examine some of the letters that we get and find out what's on your mind.
Josh
What do you got over there? Letters? Hello, happy people. Let's see. Listening to Tom talk about the Mile High Club. We talked about this last week. I get the impression that Tom's idea of kinky sex is leaving the lights on.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
That is from a lady. Carmela.
Christy Lee
Okay, well. And because there's.
Josh
We found out about the. You're very traditional.
Christy Lee
There was a place where. And is it still active. The one in Las Vegas.
Tom
Vegas? Apparently, yes.
Christy Lee
Where you can join the so called Mile High Club by. And it's just one couple at a time, right?
Tom
Oh, yeah. There was one pilot.
Josh
Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know.
Tom
Yeah. And you go up. Well, you can add up to two more people, but you have to pay.
Josh
Extra for that, so you can't have. And a three way if you want.
Tom
You could. Or a four way, but there's weight restrictions, so it can't be fatties.
Josh
No fatties. Yeah, got it.
Christy Lee
So the plane takes off.
Ace
It's for safety.
Christy Lee
The plane takes off and the pilots up front and the people in the back are.
Tom
It's a very nice plane and it's decked out. It's got. You can even have dinner up there. I mean, it's really nice.
Josh
Make it over the mountain. You'll thank me. Okay, that is just.
Christy Lee
That is so awkward and weird for you. You're the pilot. Yeah, we're going to be.
Ace
It's got to be the easiest money that pilots ever made, but it'd be.
Christy Lee
Great if you're the pilot. You have nose plugs. The last couple.
Josh
Let me ask you this. Has anyone in your life, through all of your adventures way back to Columbia there in. In New York City, has anyone ever known at the exact time that you were having sex with someone? Has anyone ever known that other than the person you're having sex with?
Ace
So maybe came upon his door and there was a tie around it.
Josh
Like a buddy of yours knew you were having sex.
Christy Lee
The opposite is true, though.
Ace
Nobody knew.
Josh
Nobody knows.
Christy Lee
No, no, no. I was. I was. I was feigning sleep in my. In my original. My first year dorm.
Josh
Right, right, right.
Christy Lee
Carmen Hall. There were two beds.
Josh
This is the dorm in each room. Welcome to Columbia.
Christy Lee
And at one point, a lot of.
Tom
Dorms are like that.
Christy Lee
And at one point, one evening, there was some activity going on in the.
Tom
Did you watch?
Christy Lee
But no, I was. I wanted desperately to go to sleep. I did not want to be hearing this. Or it was.
Josh
But I don't see you even Back then going, hey, Tom, you. You got. Are you ready for that test tomorrow morning? No, I was banging it out with Sheila last night. I don't see you.
Christy Lee
That's because, like, that's because a gentleman.
Josh
Never talks like anybody that I.
Tom
Now wait a minute.
Christy Lee
Do you remember the famous. There's. I have a famous story. I can probably tell it now because the main person is deceased.
Josh
Oh, good.
Christy Lee
Well, we were going to be interviewing this famous lead singer from a great southern rock band.
Josh
Oh, yeah, and Ronnie van Zandt.
Tom
No, Greg Allman.
Josh
Oh, Greg Allman. Okay.
Christy Lee
That'd be great.
Josh
And.
Christy Lee
Ace knows this story. And it was in the afternoon and we called up and got to the hotel and got through to the hotel and, you know, we're left to speak with room seven.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
And the guy answers the phone, hey, yeah, we're calling. We're supposed to do this interview with Greg at, you know, whatever it was.
Tom
Right.
Christy Lee
Oh, can he call you back? He's getting a bj.
Josh
See that.
Christy Lee
That kind of specificity not really necessary.
Tom
No.
Christy Lee
Could have just said, can he call you back in a few minutes? He's busy.
Tom
Right.
Christy Lee
I didn't really know that.
Tom
But he's a rock star. He wanted everybody to know it.
Christy Lee
All right. I guess so. I got a letter over here.
Josh
Yeah, what do you got?
Christy Lee
Comes to us from Brian. He said, dear Bob and Tom show Ace happy to see you back in the studio. Can't wait for the joke of the day. In honor of aces return, can you do all stories from the BBC? Do you want to explain that, John?
Josh
Oh, yeah. BBC not only stands for the British broadcasting company, but it also stands for something.
Christy Lee
Something in the world of adult cinema.
Josh
Well, yes.
Christy Lee
Okay, now what have you got?
Josh
Hello, friends. Now, last week we talked about this anxiety technique where if you're experiencing anxiety, I saw online, you're supposed to take your left hand, cover your left eye and look up and breathe and your anxiety will go away. Okay, so this Annette says, dear chicken. Oh, in quotes. I decided to try your anti anxiety trick. Sitting in my kitchen, I put one hand over my left eye, looked up and breathed. I saw a spider on my ceiling.
Christy Lee
I had to get up.
Josh
I drug a stepladder in a vacuum into the kitchen to eliminate the threat. I hate spiders. Thanks a lot.
Ace
She would have been none the wiser from Kentucky.
Christy Lee
That's great.
Ace
I had a spider in my eyelashes Saturday.
Josh
Oh, holy hell.
Ace
Yeah. I went. I put my glasses on and felt something fall from my glasses into my eye. And I went, oh, what is this bug. And then it fell onto my face. And then I looked into the rear view mirror. It was. I was in my car and there was a spider.
Tom
Oh, my gosh, Tom, you would have crashed your car.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I'm not as good. My little girl, one of my little girls over the weekend came running. I can't get in the shower. Why not? There's a spider in there. Was the smallest spider I've ever seen. Yeah, sometimes that you gotta get a ladder and.
Tom
Oh, we live in the woods. We have bugs all the time now. All the time.
Josh
Yeah. I always have to get up. I'm trying to watch my race. Come in here. There's a bug in the attic. Go look for it.
Christy Lee
I had one in my garage that was the size of a softball. I'm not sure if it was a raccoon or a spider.
Tom
We have a bug story here. Hello, gang. When my wife and I were selling our house in Texas last year, we had a particularly bad showing. This lovely couple were touring the home and stopped in the kitchen to speak with our realtor. My wife and I were watching on our Simply Safe camera. All of the sudden, the woman screamed, jump back. A large cockroach ran across her foot. Texas has large outdoor cockroaches. And one had found its way into our house during the showing. Needless to say, they did not make an offer that would be a deal breaker.
Christy Lee
Oh, what a deal breaker.
Tom
Yeah. Sorry about that. Dawson in Fayetteville.
Christy Lee
Now, this is from Kristen. I would love to be Josh's assistant for the Mile High flight.
Josh
Oh, here we go.
Ace
Oh, I see. Assistant, as in banging it out.
Christy Lee
There we go. Because you said you'd like to do that.
Josh
I did not.
Ace
I've just said I've never been in the Mile High club, but, yeah, I wouldn't mind joining. Why not?
Christy Lee
But isn't the whole idea of this that it's done stealthily on a commercial?
Ace
That's what I prefer.
Christy Lee
Commercial flight.
Ace
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Tom
Yeah. That's part of the thrill.
Ace
I think that's part of it.
Tom
Yeah.
Christy Lee
You know, have to be a long flight over the Pacific, lights all out on the plane.
Ace
I don't know.
Tom
I don't know. You both have to just time it to go to the bathroom at the same time.
Josh
We all realize whether you want to admit it or know it or not, you are not capable of joining the Mile High. There's no way you could do it.
Christy Lee
I could just do it in Denver. I've undone that.
Josh
Oh, yeah. Well, that's the. The biggest Revelation. You got laid in Denver. All right, there we go.
Christy Lee
And the debate continues. What is the best way to reheat pizza? And another vote for throwing it in the frying pan.
Tom
Yeah, I've heard that.
Josh
Butter or. Well, olive oil, but butter's good too.
Christy Lee
I guess the air fryer is one of the big things now. The air fryer.
Tom
Yep.
Christy Lee
That. That reheats it just fine. As opposed to the microwave.
Tom
Oh, don't ever do the microwave.
Josh
Microwave makes the. I don't know why. There's some sort of chemical reaction. It makes the crust chewy.
Tom
Yeah. I use my toaster oven, but it's still doesn't get crisp.
Josh
What I do is I take a slice and, and cut it and put it into my toaster. Sure, a lot.
Christy Lee
Some of the, some of the cheese.
Josh
Drips down in the bottom. I've got a pull out tray.
Ace
You turn your toaster sideways, that's.
Christy Lee
I'm going to go back to being mean. Top. Josh, are you familiar with having leftover pizza?
Josh
Oh, oh, see what he did there?
Ace
I did.
Josh
That's a shot.
Ace
I have heard of such a thing.
Christy Lee
I'm sorry, I. I couldn't resist.
Josh
You know when you chuckle during I'm sorry, it really doesn't land, if you know what I mean. Yeah, okay.
Musical Guest
I do what I do, I take the cold pizza, I put a cold tray, put it in the oven. Cold oven, not on. Turn the oven to 500 with the pizza in, and as it heats up, I give it 10 minutes and pull it out as crunchy and melty.
Ace
Nice.
Tom
I do the same thing with the toaster oven, but I don't wait for.
Musical Guest
The oven to preheat.
Tom
Put it in there cold. I do the exact same thing.
Musical Guest
I let it heat up with the pizza.
Ace
Leftover pizza deserves zero work. I'm giving it no effort, no dirt. I'm not dirtying a dish for leftover pizza.
Musical Guest
You're doing cold. Yes. Every time. It doesn't matter the toppings.
Ace
Right? Yeah.
Josh
Okay, I'll go back and forth. I used to be a staunch cold pizza, but I'll heat it up every now and then. Every now and then. I see.
Christy Lee
Well, we have more Pope news coming up now. We did have the story over this.
Ace
You guys. Over this.
Christy Lee
The Pope, Yo.
Musical Guest
Yeah, Pizza.
Ace
The Pope.
Josh
What about.
Ace
We have a new one. Great.
Josh
But what about this story?
Christy Lee
Because I. Well, I don't know about this, Josh. You probably didn't see the news yesterday morning.
Ace
No, I'm not 90. I don't watch that. CBS Sunday Morning.
Tom
Well, they're trying to skew younger. Trust me, they can keep trying.
Christy Lee
Well, there was still.
Ace
They have Sydney Sweeney topless on it. They're not skewing young.
Josh
How about those? Where did those come. Never mind.
Tom
God.
Josh
Oh, me.
Christy Lee
I was wondering if the previous pope. Remember he retired prior to Francis?
Musical Guest
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And I was kind of wondering if he was going to pull a Brett Favre like retire and then come back running the Lutherans or something.
Josh
Where is he? Is he just hanging around? Oh, he's dead.
Tom
Didn't Benedict pass away? He did, yeah.
Josh
Benedict. I think I broke it.
Ace
You think he ever told that joke?
Josh
I hope so.
Musical Guest
I got some Pope music.
Josh
You got Pope music? That's the Jetsons, I believe.
Ace
Oh, it's when the Saints Go Marching.
Christy Lee
There you go. Okay.
Musical Guest
Watch out, Godwin.
Ace
I like to think you came in yesterday and learned that.
Musical Guest
Oh, it took me hours.
Christy Lee
Once again, Patty G. Not here this.
Josh
Morning and does not need it.
Musical Guest
Obviously, I'm on fire.
Christy Lee
And Ace is back. Got his walker, his broken leg, etc. Etc. Good to see you, Ace. Coming up, the Ace Cosby joke of the day.
Josh
Oh, yeah. Okay, well, Topps has released a limited edition trading card commemorating the election of Pope Leo xiv. The card shows the newly elected pontiff greeting the faithful from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and features the text, habeas papam.
Tom
Habeas papam.
Josh
Leo XIV named first American Pope. Okay, I don't know what habeas papa means. Look that up. Where's your English to Latin dictionary?
Christy Lee
Look, A.B. does it have, like, stats on the back like regular baseball used to play for the cardinals?
Josh
That's left.
Tom
Throws right, it translates to, we have a pope.
Josh
We have a pope.
Christy Lee
200 habeas corpus. We have the body.
Josh
We have. Show me the body.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Josh
And then there's habeas cash, Cassius.
Tom
That's cash.
Ace
Oh, that's right. That's right. Yes.
Tom
We have cashews.
Josh
And then.
Christy Lee
Show me the money.
Josh
267 copies were made of a white smoke variation, a short print in honor to the 267th pope.
Christy Lee
So is the notion that those will be worth more as a collectible card?
Josh
I guess. I don't know.
Christy Lee
Will they do, like, his rookie card and show him. What do you call it when you become a priest? Is there a ceremony, I assume?
Tom
Yes, of course there is.
Christy Lee
I mean, do they take pictures, like a graduation?
Tom
Yeah, yeah.
Josh
And they throw their hats in the air.
Christy Lee
They wear those skull caps, right?
Tom
No, they don't throw their hats in the Air.
Musical Guest
They do.
Tom
I don't think.
Christy Lee
No, seriously. I mean, when they graduate, it's called.
Tom
An ordination ceremony, they take a photograph.
Christy Lee
Because that. That would technically be his rookie card, right?
Tom
Yes. They would take a picture, have a.
Josh
Kegger before everybody's hungover at the same time.
Christy Lee
So that would say. That would say his real name is. Excuse me. His birth name is Robert, right?
Tom
Yes.
Josh
Pape.
Tom
He was known as Father Bob. I love that.
Ace
His rookie card would be this card.
Christy Lee
Oh, you think so?
Josh
Of course.
Ace
All Major league baseball cards. You don't have minor league. You don't have a picture from when you're in the minors.
Josh
Here's a can of worms. Are there other Pope trading cards? There must be, right? This isn't the first one, is it?
Tom
I don't know.
Josh
Don't all the Popes have trading cards?
Tom
I wouldn't think so. You think there's a series?
Josh
Why would they just start now?
Tom
Because he's.
Christy Lee
Maybe. There's a Francis and a Benedict and a John Paul ii and.
Musical Guest
Yeah, according to the stats on the back, he's batting.328 on his homilies.
Ace
Oh, wow.
Musical Guest
That's pretty good.
Ace
Not bad. Yeah.
Josh
And of course, he's hit nine bases. Empty grand slams.
Tom
See, that's a. I think this might be the first of the Pope training.
Christy Lee
Does it come. I have a question. Does it come with a. With a little stick of gum, or is it a communion wafer?
Tom
You know what?
Ace
Same flavor. Yeah.
Musical Guest
Same staleness.
Christopher
