Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. "Palisades Park" & Pop Culture Tangents

2. Listener Letters – Death, Cannons, and Compost

4. Josh’s Banjo Story – An Unexpectedly Sentimental Moment

• Does Josh Play Banjo at His Father’s Grave?
  In response to a listener letter:
  • Chick (13:43): “He says, does Josh take the banjo when he goes to see his dad?”
  • Josh shares that his dad owned a banjo, but never really played it much.
    • Josh (14:16): "Well, no, I just took it... My dad died."
  • The banjo is now too old and unplayable; Josh considers getting another but reflects on the emotional weight of the inheritance.
    • Chick (14:53): "But I started learning it, and it’s a little too old. It’s... unrepairable, apparently."

5. Inventions & Oddities: Artificial Tongue

• Science & Jokes:
  The group pokes fun at a serious story about scientists inventing an "artificial tongue"—ostensibly for food testing—with the usual double entendres.
  • Tom (15:19): "Scientists have created an artificial tongue."
  • Bob (15:39): "Have you seen the artificial tongues that you click it in?"
  • Chick: "I don’t know how I haven’t bought one just to have."
  • Tom: (Joking about AI telling on your activities) "You might want to use some extra toothpaste on it. Tastes a little bit like duty."

6. Running Gags, Listener Gripes & Show Self-Awareness

• Topics the Audience Is Tired Of:
  A listener suggests the crew spends too much time on certain subjects, such as Dutch doors, Smokey the Bear, and Chuck Norris jokes.
  • Bob (12:47): "Travis is offering a list of things that you guys have talked about too much."
  • Tom: "We haven’t done that. We did one Chuck Norris joke in the last month."
• Show-Within-a-Show Meta:
  The team is self-referential, aware of their recurring topics, and riffs on listener feedback openly.

[Chumba Casino Announcer]

It's our way of making sure you haven't missed anything. This is Bob and Tom.

[Bob]

Extra emails from around the world.

[Chick]

Excellent.

[Bob]

Brought to you by Hyundai. You know who drove a Palisaden Boom Boom Cannon.

[Tom]

Then he wrote the song Palisade Park.

[Bob]

There's never been a more aggressive vocal recorder. What do you mean?

[Josh]

I was shocked by his.

[Chick]

Palisade park is about him finding a spot.

[Tom]

That's right.

[Josh]

Hell's Palisade Park. We're talking about a Hyundai Palisade.

[Bob]

It's so much more than just another suv.

[Josh]

It's awesome.

[Bob]

Suv. Suv. Suv. Su do you love.

[Tom]

So is your problem that we are.

[Bob]

Hyundai USA dot com.

[Tom]

This is the song that chick is. Is referencing here.

[Bob]

Chris, listen to this vocal right in your face. That's where the girls are.

[Tom]

And today's trivia question. Chrissy Lee.

[Bob]

Go ahead, tell him. Go ahead.

[Tom]

Who wrote that?

[Josh]

Who wrote it?

[Tom]

Not.

[Chick]

Can you give her a hint?

[Tom]

Not Freddie. Boom Boom Cannon.

[Bob]

I'll give you a hand. All right, we'll be back with right.

[Tom]

After.

[Bob]

This with more.

[Josh]

That guy from the Gong Show.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Tom]

He was involved in a lot of the CIA.

[Chick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob]

Oh, that's a good movie.

[Chick]

Go ahead.

[Josh]

What was his name?

[Tom]

Chuck Paris.

[Josh]

Chuck Barris. What is the name of that movie? I've never seen it and I've always wanted to.

[Bob]

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

[Josh]

Oh, okay.

[Bob]

George. George is in. Yeah. And Julia.

[Tom]

Yeah. Palisades Park. So what we were talking about the Hyundai Palisade, but they. That's not on the commercials, right? They don't.

[Bob]

They don't use. They wouldn't do that.

[Chick]

Yeah, that's not.

[Josh]

It's a beautiful three seat.

[Tom]

It's a beautiful three space.

[Bob]

You can drive it on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

[Tom]

Hyundai.

[Josh]

They almost had me convinced to trade my Tucson for a Palisade lesson.

[Tom]

Right.

[Josh]

Well, I've had my car two years, you know, as long as funny.

[Bob]

Oh, you got to get out.

[Chick]

It starts off with like that, that sort of carnival esque whistle. You're like, oh, that's. That's a little abrasive. And then the singing starts like. Holy.

[Bob]

That's exactly how I felt.

[Josh]

I had no idea.

[Tom]

I thought the intro was abrasive. Hey, the microphones are working today. You're going to have to yell out loud enough for the vinyl to just turn the organ, soak in the sound.

[Bob]

I'd like to meet the producer who said clicked it on. All right. We're not going to get one better than that. Thanks.

[Tom]

Should we put the organ down a little?

[Corn Dog Song Singer]

Not fine.

[Bob]

Everything.

[Tom]

I wonder if this is a question for an engineer. I wonder if because of the nature of AM radio back in the day.

[Bob]

Oh, yeah, Yeah. I bet so.

[Tom]

And the nature of a car radios back then. Probably a lot less sophisticated any. Anyway, I wonder if that maybe sounded a lot better.

[Chick]

Maybe.

[Tom]

I know that a lot of artists we've talked to, they'll be working on a record and they'll quite. To this day, they'll get in a car and they'll play it in a car to see.

[Josh]

Really?

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah. Just to see how it sounds. Huh.

[Chick]

That's smart.

[Tom]

Because a lot of listening is done and they just. They want to. They'll, you know, put it on whatever, a disc or they'll have it digitally put on their phone. They'll get in the car and play it that way. Okay. Wait a minute. You know, in the car, I didn't hear this or that sort of. So that may be part of that assault on the ears, that is Palisades Park. It is time for letters.

[Bob]

Yay. Yes, it is. I got a bunch over here.

[Tom]

Oh, me too.

[Chick]

Yeah, I've got some good ones.

[Tom]

Oh, really?

[Bob]

Well, I got none.

[Josh]

What about you, Josh?

[Bob]

Josh, you have the advantage. Oh.

[Chick]

We've discussed cremation and even corpses, per Tom's request, being shot out of cannons.

[Josh]

Sure.

[Tom]

In my defense, we had a news story yesterday. New Jersey has now legalized this. It's one of a handful of states, 14 states now, that have legalized a different way of disposing with a body composting.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah. They put it in some kind of metal drum with straw, spin it around for a couple months, and you end up with a pile of soil, like material.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Bob]

And coffee grounds.

[Tom]

This you can plan.

[Chick]

It changes to cremains being shot out of a cannon.

[Tom]

Ah.

[Chick]

When my cousin passed. This comes from Ray. He says he requested he be cremated and that his cremains be shot out of a cannon.

[Bob]

All right.

[Chick]

We honored his request. In fact, there were enough cremains to fire the cannon twice. It was awesome. I have video if you're interested.

[Josh]

Where do you get a cannon?

[Chick]

I don't know. And this is from Salem, Ohio.

[Bob]

I've heard of that, but I'm not.

[Chick]

Sure where it is. Witchy one.

[Tom]

We used to. We used to have a cannon at camp. Hey, I went to.

[Chick]

That was actually.

[Tom]

That would. You'd put shotgun shells in it.

[Chick]

Oh, okay.

[Tom]

It would.

[Bob]

It would start the day right.

[Tom]

It would end the day. But. And it was so cool. And then some of the guys didn't believe that they were really. There was really shot in the shotgun shells. So one day they set up a big giant piece of cardboard really. In front of the can at about, I don't know, six feet and back. That it was destroyed by the buckshot.

[Chick]

I'm glad they were. They weren't sure, but they weren't so.

[Tom]

Confident that they stood in front of it. Yeah. Yeah. You always read about two idiots that are drunk doing that. There's no shot in that one. Look, Earl. Boom.

[Bob]

The bulletproof vest testers.

[Tom]

That just happened again.

[Bob]

Yeah, I know. It seems like it happens every year.

[Tom]

About a month ago, I didn't bring the story in because it was so sad.

[Chick]

One of those. Hey, let's see if.

[Tom]

Yeah, you know, the holding up the phone book things.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I kind of. There's this. This method. What's it called again? Composting.

[Josh]

Yeah. Human composting.

[Tom]

I got another one about that because apparently you can put it in the garden and.

[Bob]

Sure.

[Tom]

You know, grandma's tomatoes are. This is from Brian in Iowa. You guys were talking about body composting. When I pass away, I want my body composted and a hazelnut tree planted over my remains. That way I'll know that years from now as I'm rotting in hell, I'll be laughing as people are eating my nuts. Okay, Brian, thank you very much.

[Bob]

Very soon.

[Tom]

Very thoughtful.

[Chumba Casino Announcer]

It's right to it.

[Bob]

That is thoughtful. And psychotic. I think. Well, it's.

[Tom]

Comedic. Comedic turn.

[Chick]

He's prepared to be rotting.

[Tom]

At least he knows where he's going. You've got that going chick. McGee's over there. I can see him at the sports desk. You have more letters.

[Bob]

Dear Bob and Tom show. We were talking about expiration dates on food and if it goes past the day, would you eat them? And I said, more or less. No. Although last. I think last night, I had some cream cheese. That was on the day.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Bob]

I live on the edge. It was the same the same day. Expired. I opened it, smelled it, it was okay.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Nothing happened.

[Tom]

Don't they. Aren't most of those way too early?

[Josh]

Yeah, I think so. I would think maybe they're just suggestions.

[Tom]

Well, they want you to. I guess the logic is throw it away and then you got to buy another one.

[Chick]

Yeah, I don't like Best Buy. A certain date.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Give me poison by.

[Josh]

Yeah, there should be a little color code thing on it that turns.

[Tom]

What level of illness will you. Well, if you eat this on Thursday. Mild fever. Eat it, eat it on the following Sunday. Possible convulsions and death.

[Josh]

Those Yuck stickers, you know Those little yuck.

[Chick]

Mr. Yuck.

[Josh]

Mr. Yuck. They could make like Mr. Yuck.

[Bob]

If it says Best Buy the third, what happens on the fourth?

[Chick]

Yeah, I think it's just. I think the suggestion is it's just not as good. Like that's kind of what I. That, that's what it tells me.

[Tom]

What about sour cream? How do you know when it goes bad? Sour cream? I'm not sure. I'm not sure who just walked in the room. That's my opening. Yeah.

[Bob]

Dear Bob and Tom show. I just ate something that was 37 days past the Best Buy date.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Bob]

I am still alive. That's from Russell. Thank you, Russell.

[Chick]

Good to know.

[Bob]

I appreciate that.

[Chick]

That.

[Tom]

Here's the thing we talked about. Scientists are developing a paper based sensor that will actually detect spoilage and contamination in food.

[Josh]

See, there we go.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Pretty interesting. Now what we also need, I was thinking would be laundry tags for single men. You know what? Yeah. All of a sudden the words wash me would come up on one of the tags or you're going to remain undateable.

[Bob]

And I'm done with the. The symbols instead of the printed out. What? Wash and cold with light color.

[Josh]

Thank you, Chick.

[Bob]

I don't know what the hell's going. It's like a washing machine with an ax and a dryer.

[Chick]

No, those are. It's for the blind.

[Tom]

Oh yeah.

[Chick]

Because they can't read words.

[Bob]

I humbly. I humbly apologize.

[Chick]

Thank you.

[Bob]

I'm sorry.

[Chick]

Just use your head next time.

[Josh]

I should buy you a poster. There's a poster out there that you can hang in your laundry room that actually knows I need that. I know, it's crazy.

[Bob]

I got no idea, man.

[Tom]

Okay, go ahead.

[Bob]

Dear Bob and Top show. Travis is offering a list of things that you guys have talked about too much.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Chick]

Oh yeah. He did. Yeah.

[Bob]

These are simply suggestions. Number one, Dutch doors.

[Chick]

Right.

[Bob]

Let's back that off a little bit.

[Tom]

Tom, I didn't mention Dutch doors today.

[Bob]

I'm just telling you. Smokey the Bear.

[Tom]

We haven't mentioned Smokey. And it's Smokey Bear, by the way. Smokey the Bear.

[Bob]

Illiterate and of course Chuck Norris jokes.

[Tom]

And we haven't done that. We did one Chuck Norris joke in the last month.

[Chick]

Yeah, we did it. Yeah.

[Bob]

I would love to have that check.

[Chick]

We did two the other day. The other day when we did that.

[Bob]

And according.

[Tom]

When we read the same letter.

[Bob]

And according to Ronald's email, this was sent into us by Chuck Norris. How about that, huh?

[Chick]

Even he wants us to.

[Bob]

That's right.

[Chick]

Question here from Daniel. I mentioned going to see. Every now and again, I'll visit my pops in the boneyard and.

[Bob]

Nice.

[Chick]

He says, does Josh take the banjo when he goes to see his dad? Oh, that would be nice.

[Bob]

Right?

[Chick]

Sit kind of with my back up against the tombstone, kind of strumming away.

[Tom]

But you never. Yeah.

[Chick]

And here's why.

[Tom]

Do you want to give the background on that?

[Bob]

It's really hard. Right. First of all. Yeah.

[Chick]

My dad. My dad always had a banjo when he was younger, and he always had it and never really heard him play it much. But he did when he was younger, apparently. Or maybe just sat there. I don't know. But when he died, I took it. And it was.

[Tom]

It was left to you, though?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Well, no, not. No, I just took it. Yeah.

[Bob]

You guys worked it out, and I didn't.

[Chick]

I want Josh to have the banjo. I just said, hey, I'm taking it.

[Bob]

One of the brothers got a dollar figure. All of it.

[Tom]

Does one of your three brothers play banjo? No. Okay, here. Here's the original thought on this when Josh first talked about it legitimately.

[Chick]

Now the owner of a banjo.

[Bob]

Is that right?

[Chick]

Yeah. I need to get it in here and see if.

[Tom]

How did that happen?

[Chick]

My dad died. Oh.

[Tom]

Gleefully.

[Chick]

But I started learning it, and it's a little too old. It's.

[Tom]

It's.

[Chick]

It's unrepairable, apparently. Yeah. So I don't know what to do with that. So I'm gonna get a different one. But I. I don't know if I want to. Because they're heavy banjos, aren't.

[Tom]

They are heavy.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Put in a. Put it in a box and shadow box.

[Corn Dog Song Singer]

Do your tears get on the strings when you play?

[Chick]

Oh, geez. I mean, it's just a mess now.

[Tom]

Speaking of spoilage, we had this interesting story.

[Bob]

All right.

[Tom]

Scientists have created an artificial tongue.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Put it right on my.

[Tom]

Tank it.

[Bob]

You think women will buy that?

[Josh]

They have one of those already.

[Bob]

Have you seen the artificial tongues that you click it in?

[Chick]

I have seen them. I. I don't know how I haven't.

[Bob]

Bought one just to have.

[Josh]

I don't know how.

[Tom]

But apparently this. This thing can actually detect taste.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

No, it's pretty cool. But they'll. They'll be. They'll be using. It's for science, for testing stuff, I guess.

[Bob]

Think of that a First date. Put it over there by your books and your CDs.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Bob]

The problem is who do you listen to? What the hell is this?

[Chick]

You like that?

[Bob]

I didn't say that.

[Tom]

Apparently the. The problem with this artificial tongue is because of AI technology, it's also capable of telling you where you put it and telling other people where you put it. Last night, this thing. You might want to. You might want to use some extra toothpaste on it. Tastes a little bit like duty.

[Josh]

Oh.

[Bob]

Did you ever do that, Tom?

[Tom]

No. No. Thank you very much. We have a. No more letters. This is a shirt recommended for me. A T shirt.

[Bob]

All right, sir.

[Tom]

Made by a company called Ray Gun in Iowa.

[Chick]

Oh, after your favorite break dancer.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Tom]

The shirt says The Great Lakes, 20,000 plus years, no shark attacks. Isn't that nice? It's all true. Not a one that I'm aware of.

[Bob]

There are not. I'm. I don't know this. I'm asking there.

[Chick]

Are there freshwater sharks or has one made it to one of the Great Lakes? And I bet it has.

[Bob]

How long would a saltwater shark last in fresh water?

[Corn Dog Song Singer]

Good question.

[Bob]

Or would you have to take his own salt?

[Chick]

It happens.

[Bob]

Maybe he has his own salt shake.

[Chick]

They found him in the Mississippi.

[Josh]

They can live in brackish water.

[Tom]

Isn't that salt in front of him like a carrot?

[Bob]

Hey, how you doing? Hold on a second.

[Chick]

That's better.

[Bob]

Okay, so you're.

[Tom]

You're saying it's not accurate that there are no shark attacks in the Great Lakes? We do have a story coming out of Michigan today involving a alligator.

[Chick]

Oh my.

[Tom]

On the loose.

[Bob]
