Bob
Now some more Bob And Tom, you want it. You need it.
Josh
You can't live without it.
Bob
This is Bob and Tom Extra.
Christy
You were discussing a crime in the news involving the mother of an NFL.
Bob
Player, wide receiver Rashid Rice, who has a knee. He's out for a little bit, and I guess he's the deep threat for the Chiefs.
Chick
I hope he has a knee.
Bob
When you say something. No, no. When you say something like, I have a knee, I have a shoulder. You know anything I don't about the.
Christy
NFL, it's like Christie, when you're in a flight and they go, we have weather. I mean, obviously there's always weather everywhere.
Chick
But everybody always has a knee.
Christy
When you say we have weather, it means bad weather.
Bob
I have a wrist.
Larry
I have a penis.
Bob
I have a penis.
Chick
Is it bad?
Bob
That means your penis is sprained.
Chick
Your penis isn't bad, is it?
Larry
Oh, it's bad, baby.
Bob
It's on play.
Chick
Bad meaning good.
Christy
Probably worn off.
Bob
This NFL player mother was caught stealing a package off one of her neighbors. It's an apartment complex. You can see the hallway.
Christy
So you see it on the. You see it on the doorbell camera.
Bob
You play the video for Tom, and you can see her going past where the package is and then coming back and then, you know, and then nudging the package with her foot and then bending over. There she is. There's Rashid Ross. That's his number. Number four.
Larry
She's a red solo cup.
Bob
And she's walking. You know, she just came from the game. She's. Oh, let's see. And she walked past the door again, and she thinks she's out of frame, but then that she bends over and thank you, thank you very much. And walks. So the NFL player's mother is stealing packages?
Christy
Allegedly.
Chick
Did she open it up and then go, I don't want it, and take it over and re tape it back?
Bob
Allegedly.
Christy
Well, I mean, maybe it was misaddressed and it was for her.
Bob
It's a video. What do you want, real proof? What are you talking about?
Christy
I don't know.
Bob
All right.
Larry
Have you ever got.
Christy
You're accusing her that of being a porch pirate.
Bob
Although, you know what? It just dawned on me. I have actually gone over to a neighbor's porch and got a package that was meant for me. Right.
Josh
Same here.
Bob
That was put on another.
Chick
Absolutely.
Bob
So by the video camera, I'm a porch pirate, right. I go over, pick up the package, and go home.
Chick
And that could be the situation here.
Larry
Have you ever opened a package that was on your porch and went, oh, this Isn't mine.
Bob
Yes, I have.
Larry
I didn't look at the package.
Chick
Yeah, my neighbor two doors down.
Larry
And then you just take it to him. But I had one.
Bob
No, I just throw it away.
Christy
Wait a minute, Josh. This is. This could be the beginning of your Hallmark movie.
Bob
Oh, God, I smell the term, the meet cute.
Larry
I like it.
Christy
Like, she opens it up and it's something disturbing.
Larry
Well, now it's not Hallmark. That's. You always take it.
Bob
No, it's vitamins.
Larry
Now we're a lifetime.
Bob
Are you.
Chick
It's like Viagra or something.
Bob
No, it's Magnum condoms.
Chick
Oh, there you go.
Christy
Oh, there. Oh, yeah. Now, see, then that's going to have a. That's a little blue.
Bob
You're the one who.
Chick
You went there.
Bob
But what would be.
Christy
For a meet cute, what would be in the package that she'd be kind of embarrassed if she was getting it?
Larry
A man's shirt is actually pretty good.
Bob
Yes.
Christy
Then it turns to be for her dad. And then her mom had just died and her dad is sad.
Larry
All right, wait, wait. What's the problem with it?
Bob
Bird food.
Larry
Bird food's good. Yeah.
Bob
That is good bird food for a talking parrot. And the parrot, he'll go over. Give him the parrot. He loves you. And the parrot knows. And the parrot knows.
Christy
Yes, he loves you.
Bob
Yeah.
Christy
She's a baller. She's a baller.
Larry
He likes to be pegged.
Christy
Pegged with breadsticks.
Bob
You're making the movie naughty.
Chick
Who has the bird, the girl or the guy?
Bob
The girl has the bird.
Christy
The girl has the bird. It's bird food.
Larry
And we find out the birds fall in love. And it was actually about them the whole time.
Christy
We got this movie's ring.
Bob
And then at Thanksgiving, they cook the bird.
Larry
Yes. Yeah. And that's how it turns into a tragedy. And it's a real mess of a.
Christy
This meatloaf's good.
Larry
TV Guide called it unwatchable.
Christy
There's too much parrot in it.
Bob
New York Times said, why we have.
Chick
Parrots in the news coming up.
Christy
You know the name of the meatloaf that had the parrot in it?
Bob
Meatloaf Mendana.
Christy
Now Meatloaf Mendana now in the movie.
Bob
My favorite year, because you can't have pork because Jews are here. Yeah, that's.
Christy
That's the classic line that he says in that movie. Now we have the porch.
Larry
I've taken a package and driven it down, like a couple blocks away and dropped it off on somebody's porch.
Christy
So we. So yours. My contention is it's possible Maybe this woman isn't a porch. Or maybe that package was for her.
Chick
What do you want, a badge?
Bob
Was stealing his wife.
Christy
You know the worst porch pirates?
Larry
Who's those?
Christy
The Somalian porch pirates. Look at me, Christie. This is my package now.
Bob
I'm not sure we can do that.
Larry
Hey, I tried stepping all over it.
Christy
This is my package now. Christy Lee.
Chick
Yes.
Larry
This is my package.
Christy
By the way, have you. Did you see that movie?
Chick
I did not.
Larry
It's a good movie.
Bob
Is it really?
Chick
Yeah.
Christy
Apparently the depiction of the captain, according to his fellow crew members.
Larry
No, Tom Hanks.
Christy
Highly inaccurate.
Chick
Yeah, yeah.
Christy
Apparently he was a real prick. Okay.
Larry
Apparently he'd been warned many, many times, please don't go into Somali pirate territory. And he went, oh, yeah, Watch this.
Chick
Yeah. I'm a bigger man than them were.
Christy
Like four or five rifles. What's wrong with those guys? Come on.
Larry
It is a great movie. Yeah, really?
Chick
Well, what's it called?
Bob
Do you remember Captain Phillips?
Chick
Is that it? Yeah.
Christy
Now we return to the Sports Desk. And we use the term sports Desk so loosely here in the show. And what am I talking about?
Chick
Sports. As long as it's football.
Bob
Major League Baseball. Kyle Higasho. Higa. Hang on, I'll get it. Kyle Higashioka, solo home run. Started the five run rally against Max Freed and two outs in the second inning. And the Padres hold on, sweep the Braves 5:4, the best of three game, win, win, win. Game two of the National League Wild Card Series. Manny Machado.
Larry
You guys know what this is, right?
Bob
Two run double.
Chick
What's that?
Christy
That's part of what you're doing on your last day in the air, that is. I hate Jackson.
Bob
Chorio tied the game in the eighth and brewers and the Mets are tied at a game of peace. No one's listening to me. Andy Ibanez, a tie breaking three run double in Detroit's four run eighth inning. And the Tigers sweep the Astros 52 and do away with Tigers win. Okay, listen to me, Tom. Look at me.
Christy
I know what you're talking about. You're talking about the fact that this particular team lost. I'm talking about.
Bob
There'S a picture on the Astros and I apologize, I've forgotten his name, but he makes like.
Larry
He hates sound effects, by the way.
Bob
Yeah. $19 million.
Chick
What's wrong with that sound effect?
Christy
Sweeping. Not whistling.
Chick
He was sweeping.
Bob
Here's the sound effect for everybody. There's a picture, a relief pitcher on the Houston astros. That makes 19 million a year. Would anyone care to guess what the entire team Payroll is for The Detroit Tigers.
Larry
32 million.
Bob
18.2 million for the entire team. 19 million for one guy on the Astros. The entire Tigers who just beat The Astros makes 18.2 million. Wow. Your thoughts, Tom?
Christy
That's great. You go Tigers. I used to play the Tigers games when I was a young radio dj.
Bob
Oh, you mean they ran on your station and you. You were responsible.
Christy
I would be putting commercials. I would be operating the machinery. And when you do that, by the way, I'll talk to you.
Larry
Josh, please don't.
Christy
You drop the announcers. You put them into what they call the Q circuit, which only you can hear. Doesn't go over the air. Oh, ok. And they'd be. You'd hear some behind the scenes stuff that on occasion was a little rough. I'll tell you this now. These people are smart enough to know if they're in the same room as anyone. Don't say anything.
Bob
When I worked in Piqua, Ohio.
Chick
Yes.
Bob
I ran the board for the Cincinnati Reds on the AM station.
Larry
Your diary.
Bob
And the Ohio State Buckeyes on the FM station at the same time. And every now and then, they would be playing at the same time.
Larry
Wow.
Bob
And I nailed.
Larry
I have no attempt.
Bob
You damn right.
Larry
Seamless.
Bob
And there was one point where they both took exacts. Because at top of the hour, you said station id and I had to do it live. And I did it live on both.
Chick
At the same time, Reds and the.
Bob
Buckeyes at the same time. And flipped them back to where they were supposed to be.
Christy
I never could have done that. No.
Bob
I don't know how you're sitting here now.
Christy
I don't either. Bob and I had to do what they used to call it beautiful music. Josh. It was like, you know, Muzak, like they used to call it elevator music. That doesn't really exist anymore. But it would be, you know, instrumental versions of Beatles songs.
Larry
Sure.
Christy
The Ray Coniff singers and that crap. And then that would be in the FM and in the AM. It was kind of a top 40 thing. And you had to do both. It was. It was just like a Saturday Night Live skit.
Larry
Yeah.
Christy
Because you'd have to switch your voices, I bet. You know, for the one station, it was extremely mellow because it's. You would. It's the beautiful north. We have the Raycon of singers. And it would appear there's a massive tornado about to hit.
Larry
I get college credit for this lecture.
Christy
The AM was hide your ass, here comes the wind.
Bob
I'm sorry, what about my ass?
Christy
Never mind. Back to the Sporting news. We're go Tigers.
Bob
Speaking of baseball, wasn't Thomas Magnum a Tigers fan? Yes, he was. Yes. And he also. That actor, Tom Selleck. Mr. Baseball.
Larry
I like Mr. Baseball.
Bob
Is that a movie that's overlooked or.
Larry
No, but I like.
Bob
And speaking of. He goes to Japan to play baseball.
Larry
Yeah. With Dennis Haysberg.
Bob
Shohei Ohtani. Hang on.
Chick
Hey, Ohtani.
Bob
Thank you. I know you.
Christy
Doesn't work.
Larry
I was late on it.
Bob
Sho. Hey, Ohtani.
Larry
Nothing there.
Bob
I'm sorry. This works.
Chick
You guys would play.
Christy
It doesn't work.
Bob
Why?
Christy
It doesn't say Quan Barkley. That works. You see, because you're saying the word say. If her name was. If his name was, say, Ohtani, you'd go. Ohtani.
Bob
I don't want to get too deep in this, but it's the exact same joke.
Larry
Okay, I'm with Tom here. It's clumsy. It's.
Christy
No, no, it's forced.
Larry
It's very forced.
Bob
The 50th home run ball. Shohei's 50. 50 guy. You remember that is even more complicated this week. And everyone better get interested in this story, if you know what I'm trying to tell you. Okay.
Christy
It's fascinating.
Larry
Here we go.
Bob
There we go. That's what I mean.
Chick
I understand.
Bob
The big man wants this to go. It's interesting that there he is.
Chick
Everything that comes out of our men.
Bob
A second fan filing a lawsuit asserting he had possession of the historic baseball. Mine, mine, mine, mine.
Christy
So the ball goes into the stands and a bunch of people, I guess, touch it. Now they all think that was they had.
Bob
And I guess after you found this story, Tom Rashi Rice's mom stole. Isn't that interesting? No, that didn't happen. According to online records, the latest lawsuit filed by Joseph Davidov Davidoff with the defendants Chris Blansky, Kevin Ramirez, Max Matis and Golden auctions. In the second lawsuit, Mr. Davidoff claims he was able to firmly and completely grab the ball in my left hand while it was on the ground successfully obtaining possession of the ball. Of the 50. 50 ball. He claims an unknown fan attracted him, allowing. I'm sorry. He claims an unknown fan attacked him. Oh. Allowing the ball to come loose and roll into the hands of Mr. Balanski. He wants 50.50k in damages. The ball is currently up for auction with a top bid of 1.464 million. Due to a ruling related to Mr. Mattis lawsuit, the item cannot be formally sold until an Oct. 10 hearing. Belansky left the stadium with the ball, Matas filed the lawsuit and Ramirez also.
Chick
Claiming ownership of the ball isn't possession.
Christy
Yeah. I mean, how are they going to.
Bob
I want to know who has the ball now.
Chick
Yeah, me too.
Bob
Where is it now?
Christy
The auction house.
Bob
Your thoughts?
Larry
The auction house?
Bob
Yeah. Golden Auctions has it now. How'd they get a hold of it?
Chick
Well, he must have dropped it off, right? The guy who says he owns it.
Christy
Yeah.
Larry
Ugliness.
Christy
Yeah. Do you ever see the thing where the guy. People would have fish nets in the stands, you know, they'd be with some ball that might be worth the lots coming down. All of a sudden you see this huge fishing net hop.
Larry
I don't think that happens these days.
Christy
Yeah, it's just. I think they finally dis. Allowed them to bring that stuff in. I still want to know how they get those fences into NFL games for defense.
Larry
People must let them.
Bob
I just saw it. Yeah.
Chick
This weekend.
Bob
There was a guy.
Christy
Do they scan it and make sure.
Bob
It'S not made out of plastic?
Chick
Carry it through the screener deal? Probably. I don't know.
Bob
Can you do me a favor, Tom, please? And I don't know why I own this. I don't know why this makes me mad. I'm not mad. It irritates me you putting Mr. In your stories for people who involved. I'm not going to read it.
Chick
Because he read. Because he's a New York Times.
Bob
He thinks he works for the New York Times. He thinks he's a journalist.
Chick
I know he's not.
Bob
He's a clown.
Christy
It's funny.
Bob
Like all of us. They're all clowns.
Larry
Funny way.
Christy
No, it's much funnier when you talk about jackasses.
Bob
With respect.
Christy
No, it's when you say Mr. Balinski, it's funny.
Larry
Yeah, I do. I do. Always kind of like that.
Bob
Do you?
Larry
Yeah. Because it is. It's like subtly condescending. It's.
Christy
It's like when a guy is wearing a suit and you hit him in the face with a pie. It's funnier.
Larry
Right?
Bob
Right.
Christy
If he's walking down the beach with flip flops on by the ocean. Not as funny.
Larry
No. There's no juxtaposition.
Bob
No.
Christy
That's funnier if you hit him with like napalm.
Larry
Yes. Something very serious.
Christy
Yes. Because then the flesh burns quicker.
Bob
Yeah.
Christy
See what I'm saying?
Bob
No, it's not. It's not about what's funny or not. It's about how important he thinks he is. That's what it's about.
Christy
You're more than welcome to join me. You're more than welcome to join me.
Bob
I'm right here, dickless. I try to do it every morning. And if I do one of my stories, you sit there and go, yeah, this stink. So how am I supposed. Even though I am somewhat tepid at your stories, I'll.
Christy
I'm just saying it's it. Calling him Mr. It Gives. You're showing respect.
Chick
Well, I'm showing respect for someone that.
Christy
Doesn'T deserve their respect.
Larry
That's what's funny.
Christy
Yeah, I'm not sure who deserves respect.
Bob
Who.
Christy
This ball lands in the stands. Three guys claim they've caught it or whatever.
Chick
The only person who caught it is the guy who walked out with it.
Christy
No, this guy claims another guy grabbed his hand and stole it out of his hand.
Bob
Well, happens all the time.
Josh
Tough.
Bob
Welcome to being at a baseball game.
Chick
I've seen an adult steal it out of a child's hand.
Christy
Yes.
Bob
And the kids crying.
Larry
Well, children are weak. They're allowed to steal from the week.
Christy
You're supposed to call it Mr. Children.
Bob
There is. There's a mom and a dad and two brothers in a video. And the ball goes into the stands and one of the. One of the kids doesn't get the ball and starts crying.
Larry
Yeah.
Bob
And then mom gets the ball and hands it to the kid that was crying. Said, here you go. And the kid stops crying. I say, no, the kid crying, you get a beating. Go to the car.
Larry
Yeah.
Bob
Wait for us until the game's over. You don't cry over stuff like this.
Larry
You don't shame the family.
Christy
This ball's worth what, $500,000 away?
Chick
My mom, I thought it was 1.5 million or this ball.
Bob
Write this down. This ball is going to go for $5 million. There will never be another 5050 player in major League baseball. This is a very important baseball.
Larry
This ball should be in the hands of Shohei Ohtani.
Chick
Why shouldn't it be in the hall of Fame or something?
Christy
They're calling it the 5050 ball.
Bob
Here we go. Oh, here we go.
Larry
That's what they're calling it.
Bob
Ladies and gentlemen, stand by for comedy.
Christy
I don't have a job for this.
Larry
They also call Lance Armstrong 50 50.
Bob
There you go.
Christy
You're welcome.
Larry
He deserves it because he cheated.
Christy
That was a slow pitch. And he only has. And he only has one ball.
Larry
I can't stand when I do a joke. And he takes credit for it.
Bob
Oh, yeah, I know. He's like.
Christy
When you think about a million dollar ball. You suppose Lance Armstrong kept that?
Larry
Oh, it's just in a jar, so.
Chick
I don't think so.
Bob
Josh, you know why you caught.
Christy
What would that go for at all?
Bob
Tom Put you in the game, that's how.
Larry
What would Lance Armstrong's one ball go for an auction?
Christy
What would you pay for that?
Bob
Well, it's not. You think somebody has it?
Christy
It's riddled.
Chick
No, I don't think so. Don't you have to have special permission to keep a body part?
Christy
Yeah, yeah.
Bob
What does a cancer riddle testicle look like? I guess I'm going to find out.
Christy
Some people, some people of certain religious faiths would insist on having that.
Chick
Well, that's true.
Christy
They have to bury it with it. Although they put it in your upper left hand pocket. When we come back, we will have more sports that chick McGee has picked.
Bob
Okay, hang on a second. I just got an email. This means reminder that today your password for Planet Fitness expired. I didn't know I was a member at Planet Fitness. What the hell's going on, Tom? What's wrong with our world, Tom?
Christy
The email and message.
Larry
I bet you piss away my salary.
Bob
I'm not a member. I never even has.
Christy
No idea how many Netflix accounts he has. The man is just.
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.

Bob
Draymond Green has a podcast.
Tom
He was asking Mark Cuban why at.
Bob
The beginning of 2024, Cuban sold a huge part of his company. He's like, did you see how much money I got?
Christy
I'm sure there's a more graceful answer than that, but dude, I bought it for 200 million and sold it for 6 billion.
Larry
I think it was that much more graceful than that.

Podcast Summary: B&T Extra – NFL Mom Stealing, New York Times, & a 50/50 Home Run Ball
Release Date: November 28, 2024
Podcast: The BOB & TOM Show Free Podcast
Episode: B&T Extra: NFL Mom Stealing, New York Times, & a 50/50 Home Run Ball
In this episode of B&T Extra, hosts Bob, Tom, Chick, Larry, Christy, and Josh delve into a mix of current events, sports highlights, and their characteristic humor. The discussion revolves around a scandal involving an NFL player's mother accused of package theft, a contentious baseball home run ball, and various amusing exchanges among the hosts. Notable quotes throughout the episode provide insight into the hosts' perspectives and comedic styles.
The episode opens with a discussion about Rashid Rice, an NFL wide receiver for the Chiefs, whose mother has been implicated in a package theft incident. Christy introduces the topic at [03:25], highlighting the situation:
Christy [03:25]: "You were discussing a crime in the news involving the mother of an NFL player."
Bob elaborates, mentioning Rashid Rice's role as a "deep threat" and his subsequent knee injury:
Bob [03:30]: "Player, wide receiver Rashid Rice, who has a knee. He's out for a little bit, and I guess he's the deep threat for the Chiefs."
The conversation intensifies as they analyze the incident captured on doorbell cameras:
Bob [04:08]: "This NFL player mother was caught stealing a package off one of her neighbors. It's an apartment complex. You can see the hallway... she bends over and walks. So the NFL player's mother is stealing packages?"
Christy raises the possibility of mistaken identity or misaddressed packages:
Christy [04:57]: "Maybe that package was for her."
However, Bob emphasizes the video evidence, dismissing these theories:
Bob [05:02]: "It's a video. What do you want, real proof?"
The hosts debate the prevalence of porch pirates, sharing personal anecdotes about mistakenly taking neighbors' packages. The humor lightens the serious topic, with Chick sarcastically questioning the necessity of a badge for porch thieves:
Chick [07:18]: "What do you want, a badge?"
The discussion naturally shifts to the common issue of porch pirates. Bob shares his experience of inadvertently taking a neighbor's package, leading to laughter and shared stories among the hosts:
Bob [05:29]: "So by the video camera, I'm a porch pirate, right. I go over, pick up the package, and go home."
Larry and Christy contribute their own tales, reflecting on the ubiquity of package mix-ups:
Larry [07:03]: "I've taken a package and driven it down, like a couple blocks away and dropped it off on somebody's porch."
Christy humorously suggests this scenario could be the start of a Hallmark movie, sparking a creative and funny exchange about potential plotlines involving mistaken packages and family dynamics.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the drama surrounding a historic baseball home run ball, dubbed the "50/50 Ball." At [13:02], Bob introduces the topic:
Bob [13:02]: "The 50th home run ball. Shohei's 50. 50 guy... You remember that is even more complicated this week."
The hosts explore the legal battles over the ball's ownership, detailing how multiple fans claim possession. Christy summarizes the latest lawsuit:
Christy [14:03]: "The ball is currently up for auction with a top bid of 1.464 million. Due to a ruling related to Mr. Mattis lawsuit, the item cannot be formally sold until an Oct. 10 hearing."
Bob expresses frustration over the confusion surrounding the ball's ownership:
Bob [15:02]: "I want to know who has the ball now."
The panel critiques the legal claims, particularly focusing on the legitimacy of ownership versus mere possession. Chick points out the distinction:
Chick [15:06]: "Claiming ownership of the ball isn't possession."
Larry raises concerns about the auction process and the handling of such valuable memorabilia:
Larry [15:24]: "Do you ever see the thing where the guy... they'd be with some ball that might be worth... they see this huge fishing net hop."
The discussion highlights the chaotic nature of sports memorabilia auctions and the intense emotions fans and collectors invest in these items. Bob underscores the ball's significance:
Bob [18:27]: "This ball is going to go for $5 million. There will never be another 50/50 player in major League baseball. This is a very important baseball."
Christy and Larry contribute by questioning the ethical implications and drawing parallels to other high-stakes collectibles, such as Lance Armstrong's memorabilia.
Beyond the main topics, the hosts engage in various humorous exchanges and personal anecdotes that showcase their camaraderie and comedic timing. Noteworthy interactions include:
Christy's Creative Storytelling:
