Paula Pan
Hey there. I'm Paula Pan. I help people make the smartest money decisions possible. If you don't control your money, it controls you.
Christopher
You're not in control of your financ
Tom
and you have to look outside of
Christopher
yourself to live the life that you want. You're not in control. You're like. Like, what is it that you actually want? Money should follow the dreams and goals. Because sometimes we make the dream and goal the money. And you've overworked yourself and you've exceeded what you've needed for the actual thing you want. Sometimes we forget, like, what's the actual thing you want?
Paula Pan
Afford anything. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.
Chick McGee
There was a
Christopher
had a dog and bingo was his name Singing Bey. Oh, B I hen. This one's for all the dogs in shelters.
Paula Pan
Stupy.
Tom
Hang on.
Christopher
Here's some extra.
This is Bob and Tom.
Bob
Extra.
Chick McGee
Hello, Chick McGee. Should I say hello, baby? Hey, baby.
Bob
I gotta let my neighbors know. Hey, if I'm mowing or trimming and your baby's asleep, come out and tell me to wait.
Chick McGee
Really?
Bob
Yeah.
Paula Pan
I need to add Aussie.
Bob
It is.
Chick McGee
It is.
Bob
Just.
Tom
Don't you have an electric mower, though?
Bob
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom
Is that noisy?
Bob
It's not as noisy. It's the trimming more so that. Because in that part of the backyard, there is some concrete, a runoff area for a creek. And I trim that because I can't get the mower over the edge.
Tom
It's.
Bob
It looks beautiful. I do a great job. But yeah. So, hey, hey, if that baby's asleep. Yeah, I'll. I can. I can. I'll sit down where I'm at, crisscross applesauce and wait.
Tom
So you're saying that you're. When it comes to not working, it's an easy call for you.
Paula Pan
That's how you took that? Yeah.
Chick McGee
And, oh, by the way, weekends, what's the rule on the earliest you can start outdoor? Loud yard work.
Bob
Saturday I'm going 9. Sunday I'm going 10.
Paula Pan
Yeah, that's the rule.
Chick McGee
Tom, your thoughts on when you can start?
Tom
Well, I had been doing a little bit of air blowing. Oh, it's leaf blowing.
Chick McGee
What time? Like 6. 6am I get up very early in the weekend, 6:30.
Tom
I was walking my dogs at 7 o' clock in the morning. What is a Sunday? And they were pouring concrete next door.
Bob
Yes. I mean I didn't.
Tom
Oh I didn't mind at all.
Bob
No, I get it. But some of those noises can be. That's a little early.
Chick McGee
That's a loud concrete turning and that's a problem.
Tom
But hey, it was great. I didn't care. It's fine.
Paula Pan
Well you're up.
Tom
I know that's. Well everybody doesn't get up. They're also lazy. Sleeping in on a Sunday. What's the matter? Not going to church.
Chick McGee
But if he had cared, we wouldn't hear the end of it.
Tom
You won't sleep in and hell, these
Chick McGee
bastards start pouring concrete at oh, dark 30.
Bob
Did you watch? A little bit. Did you stop and watch it? Ask.
Tom
I did. Was fun.
Chick McGee
What'd you say? Hey, how many yards you're pouring?
Tom
Yeah, no, I, I get a kick out of that. There's a, there's two construction things going on in my neighborhoods.
Chick McGee
Really?
Tom
Oh yeah, it's great.
Chick McGee
Well please don't leave us hanging.
Tom
Oh the smell of the, the putting up the frame in a house. That great smell of the wood.
Bob
Oh that is great smell.
Tom
That's nice.
Paula Pan
Somebody getting a new driveway.
Tom
Is that what they got? Yeah, new driveway next door and across the street they're building a house.
Chick McGee
You know it sounds to me like you need to build a new house.
Bob
You ever, when you were younger did you ever run around like a half built neighborhood?
Tom
Yes.
Chick McGee
Oh yeah.
Bob
Yeah. So exciting. And we were, we were so. We were being punks. Being there. We were not doing any damage or anything like that. Like we respected the work going on. I don't know how we were 16 year old boys who were idiots. I'm. Thank goodness we weren't.
Tom
You didn't get a 10 penny nail in the eye.
Bob
Yeah, yeah. But just like walking up the steps of an unfinished house was like so exciting.
Paula Pan
That is one of my best childhood memories. And we used to like use them as forts. We would play and like. Yeah, it was great.
Bob
Yeah, they would have that hanging Visqueen.
Paula Pan
Yeah.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
First time. The first house I built. This is, I mean this is true to this day. The first thing did was they brought a dumpster over and my friend Mark, my builder said there'll be something on that thing before the day is over. No, there's nothing before the day was over. I went back down there. There was a couch in it.
Bob
Oh no doubt.
Tom
Yeah, yeah. A dumpster Is people just see him and, oh, there's a dumpster here. Here we go.
Paula Pan
So there's nothing better, though, than having your own dumpster for a day.
Bob
We get a neighborhood dumpster twice a year.
Tom
That's really.
Paula Pan
Yeah, that is a great idea.
Chick McGee
I've got a dumpster guy. You know that?
Paula Pan
Oh, yeah, a guy.
Chick McGee
I can get a dumpster like that.
Bob
Oh, you know what? You're generous with a chick. You let everybody know I got a dumpster.
Chick McGee
If you need, take a dump in my dumpster. That's what I tell them.
Bob
I used to love no dumping signs. I figured, who am I kidding? I still love no dumping.
Chick McGee
I like to know dumping sign.
Tom
You put one. You should put one on the bathroom door of your house.
Chick McGee
You can grind your own nut butter at one of the grocery stores.
Bob
There's a street that most of us use every day instead of. There are speed bumps, but the signs say speed humps.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Bob
Wonderful.
Tom
And apparently I found out there's a distinction. Apparently the speed humps are wider.
Bob
Makes sense.
Tom
I have been told that may not be the case.
Bob
They are funnier signs, though.
Tom
Yes. Did you notice that the one some wiseacre took a screwdriver and undid the top screw, so the sign's hanging upside down?
Bob
Yeah. You think they got caught in the act trying to steal the sign?
Tom
Oh, could be. I just thought they thought it'd be funny to have it upside down. So some poor guy's going to come flying down the street, his car realigned.
Paula Pan
Here's my little naive world. What does fill dirt wanted mean?
Bob
Filter wanted.
Paula Pan
I see those signs all the time.
Tom
Oh, it's fil. Dirt.
Bob
Yeah.
Paula Pan
What does that mean?
Tom
It means that if you say you've. They. They dug a hole and they. They put up the. The. The concrete or whatever it is, they want to fill it back. They got to fill.
Paula Pan
So you can just drop your own dirt off.
Chick McGee
I mean, fellow Central Ohioans will know this. There was a band back in the mid-70s called Phil Dirt and the Dozers.
Bob
Oh, that's great.
Paula Pan
I love it.
Chick McGee
It was amazing. And they were great. They were great, bar. Yeah, they were great bands.
Paula Pan
So in my head, I've dug a hole and I've got all this extra dirt, so I just can take it over there and dump it in there.
Bob
Yeah, because they want to fill it before they pour. Concret. It is that they dug out.
Chick McGee
Yeah, Filter.
Bob
It's kind of like when you're. Christy, when you're putting. This is something everybody can relate to. When you're putting new line on a reel.
Paula Pan
Yeah.
Bob
And you want to use maybe a braid or a floral, but that gets more expensive than monofilament. So you use mono about halfway through the reel and then you switch. Everybody knows Tom.
Tom
Okay, that's nice. I could read this letter instead.
Chick McGee
I dare. I double dog dare you.
Bob
You won't read it. He's a friend.
Chick McGee
Closer.
Tom
Oh, I like. We'll call this guy.
Chick McGee
Can I guess his name?
Tom
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Ron.
Tom
No, it was the same as a TV show. His first name was the same as a cop show.
Chick McGee
Cop Rock.
Bob
Tj No.
Tom
What deck. This could go along.
Bob
I liked Cop Rock, though. That's very, very funny.
Chick McGee
Dan August.
Tom
No, Spencer.
Paula Pan
Oh, I like that.
Tom
Spencer for. I love that name.
Bob
PI.
Paula Pan
It was a PI.
Christopher
Okay.
Bob
Please, Tom, please.
Tom
Oh, Copper PI. I went to a pretty decent high school.
Paula Pan
Oh, okay.
Chick McGee
Pretty decent.
Tom
I made a policeman's nightstick in my welding class out of materials I found in the scrap bin. I had to smuggle it out of school and home on the bus. My friend. I'll show those cops in the same shop class. My friend made a fully functioning cannon between his welding class and his machine.
Bob
That's crazy.
Tom
We took it out to the country one day and fired it and it removed itself from the trundle as it went off and went careening down the road.
Chick McGee
So that's the number one accident with cannons.
Bob
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Trundle misfires.
Tom
Lucky nobody got hurt.
Paula Pan
That kickback on a cannon.
Tom
Okay.
Bob
Derek from Charleston, South Carolina writes he made a pair of nunchucks and shop class. We would have been in trouble. We couldn't have done it. That was considered like a terrible weapon that you'd get in trouble.
Chick McGee
Have you seen Bruce Lee play ping pong with his nunchucks?
Bob
It's astounding.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom
Is it real?
Chick McGee
Yes, it absolutely is real. The other guy has a paddle. He has his nunchucks, man. And you'd never know it.
Tom
Check that out. Crazy this one is. Or borderline obvious. This guy made.
Chick McGee
All righty.
Tom
Personal item on a lathe.
Chick McGee
We both.
Bob
He's mad because he. First off, he said it was fairly obvious. And then when we state the obvious, he's pissed.
Paula Pan
Now he's mad.
Chick McGee
You've ruined my letter.
Tom
I just hope he standard it very well.
Paula Pan
Yeah.
Tom
You may want to put a couple extra coats of shellac on that.
Chick McGee
In the history of Sex toy, didn't they hollow those out and put bees in them Right.
Tom
For the vibration.
Chick McGee
That's a real thing.
Bob
I bet it worked.
Tom
Allegedly. I Seems like a pretty stupid idea to me.
Paula Pan
Oh.
Bob
I mean, what else. How else are you gonna get to buzz?
Paula Pan
Yeah. Electricity. Then.
Tom
Yes, but what if one of the bees gets out?
Paula Pan
Well, that's a chance you take.
Chick McGee
What do you got there?
Bob
Would the problem is they would die. And then you have to get new bees.
Paula Pan
Yeah, all the time.
Tom
Yeah, but I'm just saying what if you. What if you, you know, you're in the middle of using a bee gets
Chick McGee
out and honey the beast?
Tom
You don't want to get a bee sting down in the.
Chick McGee
The bees are dead.
Bob
You know, I wouldn't mind getting one on the penis. It swells it up a little bit.
Tom
I go back to sports.
Chick McGee
If anything, I think it be having bees in it would be better than grabbing it by the thing and just shaking it a lot.
Tom
Okay.
Chick McGee
Chet Holmgren. The only NBA player since Chet Walker to be named Chet.
Bob
You know, Chick, I always thought you knew your chat.
Tom
Okay, see, you know, he's one of his. He would always pass the ball to a guy named Brinkley.
Paula Pan
Whoa, man.
Bob
Good night.
Tom
Chat.
Chick McGee
Thundering. You hear people sprinting to their Google to find out who Chad Huntley.
Tom
Chad Huntley or Chet Huntley and David Brinkley? The original duo, the Keith and Mick
Bob
of evening news, say Chad Huntley seven times fast.
Chick McGee
Have you noticed that all three news anchors for the major networks look exactly alike?
Tom
They're all, once again, very handsome.
Chick McGee
White guys, dark hair.
Tom
It's all shifted around.
Bob
They must have gotten your letters.
Chick McGee
I, for one.
Tom
I get a big kick out of David Meir every time he has a chance. He wears a T shirt that's too tight to show off his muscles. Riding in helicopters over war zones.
Chick McGee
You like David Muir?
Tom
He's good.
Bob
He's a handsome guy, isn't he?
Tom
I understand their budget on hair gel is like a million dollars a year. He's got product in that hair.
Chick McGee
There you are, back at hair again. Bless your heart. Kate Cunningham.
Tom
I don't trust a guy named.
Bob
What is it?
Tom
Yamis. What is it?
Chick McGee
It's a Greek thing.
Tom
As a foreign. Okay.
Chick McGee
Poultry. Chicken.
Tom
Some Americans on tv.
Chick McGee
Cunningham got another letter here in his
Bob
way today, shop class.
Chick McGee
It wasn't as bad as yesterday, but it's close.
Tom
This is for Christy. I think you'll like this.
Paula Pan
Okay.
Tom
I love this. Maybe asa like, let's see if we
Bob
can shout out the answer before he gets.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom
Oh, yeah. Let me see if. I think I've got 20 bucks I think in my pocket.
Chick McGee
Dildo.
Tom
You guess what this is? It's Yours. This is from Larry in Elk Grove, California.
Chick McGee
Moose.
Tom
In our high school metal shop, we did quote, unquote, foundry, and we made something for cars in a foundry.
Chick McGee
Oh, pouring.
Tom
That was the name of the class thing for cars. Yeah, that would be a good guess. What ornament? Something cool for cars.
Bob
Fins.
Tom
No, your hint is hot rod Flames down the side. Made of metal. Flames made of metal on the side of a car? Really? That's your guess? You're out next.
Bob
I'm out.
Chick McGee
I didn't even know I was in
Christopher
and now I'm out. What happened?
Paula Pan
Not wheels, huh?
Tom
No, something cool. A hot rod. Minor accessory. That's really cool.
Chick McGee
Airfoil, Fuzzy dice.
Tom
Hang on a sec. Fuzzy dice and metal shop.
Chick McGee
Fuzzy dice. Am I out again?
Paula Pan
The answer is put on steering wheel.
Tom
Oh, a. Oh, what's that called? A choker.
Bob
A chrome skull for the shifter.
Tom
No, no, it was a metal. A foot pedal is right. A metal foot pedal. I remember there would be a metal pedal in the shape of a foot for the accelerator. Then they'd also. Back in the day, remember any tiny one. The little one for the bright lights.
Christopher
Yes.
Tom
I liked it when the bright lights were on the floor.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I did.
Bob
Your brights were on the floor?
Tom
Yeah.
Paula Pan
On a button. Yeah.
Tom
And you take your left foot and it was usually in the upper left corner.
Bob
No kidding.
Chick McGee
The only problem they had was that people got their feet confused and you would accelerate sharply and you thought you were turning your brights on. But.
Tom
Yeah, because now I. Is it the brights or is it the windshield washer? Is it going to start squirting in the back window? What the hell are these things? Way too complicated.
Bob
Well, do you guys have adaptive brights?
Paula Pan
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Bob
It's pretty handy.
Tom
What does that mean?
Chick McGee
Care for when a car's coming.
Bob
Yeah. If it senses. If it sees that a car is coming, they go down automatically.
Paula Pan
Yeah. Your car has it?
Tom
No idea. I. If I. I would love to have enough money to have a car modified so that I could get the Steven Spielberg lights put in a car. So when a guy's coming at you with his brights on, it doesn't turn them off. You could turn on these things that would actually emit heat. It would be so bright, blinding the guy. You know, like in Close Encounters when the ship's behind him, Lights you would turn on. You'd actually see them smoke. And you'd hear this. Those are bright lights.
Chick McGee
Start keeping track of everything. That doesn't work on your car. That actually does work.
Tom
I'm sure they were.
Chick McGee
I just don't know how to turn it on.
Bob
Are you guys surprised that the car. Chiron. Hasn't really become a thing where you can have. You can write messages on your back windshield that say things like, hey, you want to get off my ass?
Paula Pan
I've been on this for a long time.
Bob
But, I mean, how did it not.
Chick McGee
I've.
Bob
We've seen them. You guys have probably seen them.
Tom
Yeah, they haven't really.
Bob
Things like, they're. They're vague. They're never. Because you have to type them in. But now with voice, you should be able to go, hey, Chiron, tell this guy behind me to get off my.
Tom
Yeah. I have a question. If you're a police officer, you can anonymously write us. I know. If I were a cop, I would. You know how I believe in cruel and unusual punishment? A. And usually I can tell on site whether or not they're guilty.
Bob
Do you. You don't get a lot of jury duty, do you?
Tom
Oh, I would be. My. If they're here, they're guilty. I would be. If I were writing tickets, I would certainly base. Whether or not they got a ticket. I would base it on bumper stickers.
Bob
Yeah. Oh, that's funny.
Tom
I would immediately. My bias would kick in. And also, by the way, anything over three bumper stickers, I'm out.
Bob
Boy, they're like tattoos, don't they? People who get them, all of a sudden, they get 50.
Tom
Yeah. And I do like it when they conflict.
Bob
I do, too. Yeah. I like when the action of the driver conflicts with the bumper.
Tom
Oh, yeah. That's always nice, too.
Bob
Hey, thanks for cutting me off. I thought we were supposed to coexist, you dick.
Chick McGee
Yeah, now what happened to that?
Tom
I'm just wondering. I mean, if you. If you're a cop and you approach someone and you look at the bumper system, you go, this guy's a jerk. I hate this guy. Here it comes.
Bob
Or the conflicting bumper stickers on, like, the Escalade. Things that have a huge carbon footprint, but it's save the. Save the air.
Tom
Yeah, I like. I'd like to have an escalation be. Save the year more for me.
Christopher
That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.

This "B&T Extra" bonus episode is a lively and comedic roundtable focused on suburban life: the joys (and minor annoyances) of mowing lawns, navigating new housing construction, tales of childhood mischief amid half-built homes, and the inexplicable appeal of dumpsters. The crew riffs on everyday observations with their trademark irreverent humor, segueing from yardwork etiquette, neighborhood nostalgia, and construction projects to quirky car accessories and the absurd evolution of foundry projects in shop class. Their banter is peppered with personal anecdotes, running jokes, and playful debates on etiquette, all delivered in the classic BOB & TOM style: sharp, sarcastic, and self-deprecating.
