Christy
I came to work and I forgot my lap.
Bob
I had to go back.
Tom
You think this explains your behavior?
Bob
And you let me. You walked in here and said you'd forgotten your laptop.
Christy
Yeah.
Bob
Then you left and you came back and didn't have your laptop. So where is it?
Christy
It's at a car wash, apparently. I don't know. That's the last place I. I had it.
Bob
Oh, you can't find your laptop?
Josh
Oh, I'm sorry.
Christy
IPad, actually.
Tom
I'm sorry.
Christy
The one I use in here?
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
Does this mean we're not going to be able to hear any songs today?
Christy
No, I got all the songs.
Bob
Okay.
Tom
Okay.
Bob
Why. Why would you have your laptop at a car wash?
Josh
It's an iPad.
Christy
It's in the back of my car. I went to the car wash. I took it. I take everything out.
Tom
You take everything out of your car?
Bob
You think they're going to steal it?
Christy
No, I just take. It's like I'm a nice person. They really do their cleaning.
Tom
Okay.
Josh
Oh, they clean the inside of your car?
Christy
Yes, that's how I have it done yet.
Josh
Really?
Christy
I got that kind of money.
Bob
Okay, so.
Josh
Well, you're parked about halfway into the parking lot. So just so you know, he's done that before. Yeah. And you choose.
Christy
I'm excited to get here.
Josh
You choose to park.
Bob
So wait a minute. So your car is sticking way out of the space? Well, someone's gonna hit it. You better pull in, Paula.
Christy
I do this everywhere. Drugstore. I'm the worst. Parker, apparently. I don't know.
Bob
Why'd you bring up your girlfriend? She's used to having it part way in.
Tom
Hang on a second.
Bob
That's a gorgeous Piece of business.
Tom
That's something else.
Josh
I think you said to me once that you do that because you're afraid of hitting that light pole that's there. You know, we have about 18000 spaces out there.
Christy
That's my space. Are we all like that?
Tom
Yeah, yeah. You know, but I do restaurant.
Christy
You're not. She goes, you're not even parked in the. You're not even on the line. In the lines.
Tom
Oh, that. That's incredibly accurate what I just did.
Josh
Car have parking a camera on it?
Christy
It does indeed.
Tom
Don't you just put it.
Christy
Only I know how to use it.
Josh
Oh, Jesus.
Bob
Okay, let's move forward.
Tom
Wait a minute. When you put it reverse the camera goes on, right?
Josh
Oh, I bet his mine you have a parking button and it puts the forward camera on so you can see exactly where you're going.
Tom
And the mirrors adjust so you can see you're going backwards. All sorts of stuff.
Christopher
Yeah.
Christy
It sits there. I don't know how to use it though.
Bob
Let's just move forward.
Christy
Well, you guys brought it up.
Bob
Where was I? Oh, we had a discussion yesterday. Our guest was a race car great, Ari Lyondyke, and we were talking about Finland at one point and he's from the Netherlands.
Josh
Right.
Tom
And I don't know the difference.
Bob
They're both very cold sometimes. We were trying to remember where what the country was where you could get a speeding ticket and it could be hundreds of thousands.
Josh
Thousands of dollars in Finland for sure.
Bob
Yeah. I found this one. A Guy was fined 130 000. His name Anders Viklov going 51 and a 31.
Tom
Did everybody hear the hint of accent on Tom. What was his name?
Bob
Anders. Vic Love. What's got the O with the whatever the hell. I have no idea what that means. I just put a spin on it. Little flavor. His license was suspended for 10 again going 51 and a 31. He was fined $130,000 because it's based on your income. Based on your income.
Tom
Yeah, he hate that.
Bob
Runs a holding company.
Tom
You Josh would lose your mind if that happened.
Chick
Yo. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom
You'd be down.
Chick
I'd be in jail because I wouldn't no court that I would have to go to. Would I ever respect.
Tom
It would.
Chick
It would be a mess.
Tom
It would start with you don't know who you're messing with. And it end with get your hands.
Chick
Sorry, I do. Well, I mean I hate stuff like that.
Bob
130,000 and that apparently is not the biggest one ever. It's not no, there's. It doesn't say that. This. It just says this. There's another more. That's ridiculous. I mean, can you imagine a ticket so bad you're. You considered defecting to Russia? Hey, look, I'm not going to pay. I'm calling up Putin. I can get a nice apartment in Moscow.
Tom
Well, I could pay my speeding ticket. I got to go to my mortgage lender and I'll be right.
Bob
I just wanted to clarify that because we were talking about it yesterday. Time not to hit the mailbag. You want to start?
Tom
You want me to go mailbag? I got it right here. I'll start. Openers. This is from Brian. Dear friends, I'm not from Michigan, but I can spell the word. Oh, all right.
Chick
Good, good.
Tom
I've thoroughly enjoyed the addition of Christie's husband, Andy on the show. I was wondering if Andy has met Christie's boyfriend, Brock. Oh, wow. Wow. That's a blast from the past. But Andy is. Come on in here. How's it all going? How's it all hanging, fellas? How's it. How's it going?
Bob
I'm surprised to see you here. I thought you enjoyed your time away.
Tom
Christy and I got married. How long has it been? Six, seven years ago?
Josh
It'll be two years next week.
Tom
It seems longer than that, I'll tell you that.
Bob
You got a nice anniversary gift for.
Josh
I have it already.
Bob
Oh, you do? What is it?
Tom
When is the anniversary?
Josh

Tom

Chick
Why you wear clothes today?
Josh
Brock, shush.
Chick

Tom
Every time she says, I'm here because have you guys are up to speed on the card she's handing out with her address change?
Bob
Oh, yeah, I got one here.
Christy
Only a woman would do that.
Bob
It's got a. Is this your. Is this your actual front door?
Tom
No.
Bob
Oh, it's a photograph of a front door. This is a nice looking house.
Tom
Let me tell you something.
Josh
What about the card stock? I was very.
Bob
It is. It is nice card stock. It says, we're thrilled to share we have embarked on a new chapter and have relocated.
Tom
Yeah, yeah, thrilled.
Bob
Now it says we. Now it says we. So you're moving with her together?
Tom
Well, that's. That's what she thinks. But look at the front. It says, welcome and home. And he's out. And we've embarked on a new chapter and have relocated.
Bob
I don't recognize any of the names.
Tom
And then it says, kindly update your records with our new address.
Josh
Yes.
Tom
Warm regards, Christy. And him say, and him seems disrespectful. Well, thank you.
Bob
That's very nice.
Tom
All right, I'm gonna go back to the hotel.
Bob
Okay.
Tom
Hello.
Josh
You're allowed.
Bob
This says, hello, radio geniuses.
Tom
Hello.
Bob
I did not know that Tom was programming another radio station.
Tom
Oh, did he hear Freddy and the Dreamers somewhere else?
Bob
Apparently, the oldies station. I won't give the call letters. I don't want to be confused. I just tuned it in and I heard Grazing in the Grass, followed by me and Mrs. Jones. I figured Tom had to be only behind that.
Chick
That's crazy.
Bob
And by the way, this guy's the mayor of the town. Of the town. Yeah, I'll just. I don't want to. Give us Mayor George.
Tom
Well, what town is it? Can you tell us?
Bob
I don't want to say, but I don't want the mayor to get in trouble.
Tom
Is this Chicago?
Josh
Why would he get in trouble? For sending an email.
Tom
Yeah. For liking me and Mrs. Jones and grazing in the ground. Well, I've had enough of him. Vote him out.
Bob
I was. He's Mayor George. Can you dig it? Of course. Me and Mrs. Jones. Classic song.
Josh
Mrs. M. Jones.
Bob
Very clearly lisping there.
Tom
It gets plainer every time.
Bob
This is the ice.
Christy
I hear it now.
Bob
I isolated the vocals. I noticed that you can hear him lisping.
Tom
Very cool. Not at all.
Christy
I think you added.
Bob
When he says myth.
Tom
No, he doesn't.
Bob
He says Mrs. He says. No, he says. Doesn't say Mrs. He says mth. Listen carefully. Oh, yeah. Very, very clear. The man. Speech impediment.
Chick
No less than eight S's in that whole. I mean, they're all S's. There's no th in there.
Tom
No. None of.
Josh
You're the have the worst hearing in this room.
Bob
That's true.
Josh
And you're the one telling us that's what you hear.
Bob
It's amazing, isn't it? No, let's just.
Tom
You know what you need with your hearing? You need one of those horn. Big horns you can stick in your ear. Let's go.
Chick
Like in the 1800s. Yes. You know, they had a Victrol on the side of their head.
Tom
They must really. They must really work, right?
Chick
They must have.
Bob
Yeah. I cut my ear all the time.
Tom
I know you do.
Bob
Wearing headphones all these years. It tends to Eliminate part of the.
Tom
Part of the hearing.
Bob
Let's see now. I've got another one over here. Again, somewhat critical of yours truly. I accept that, dear Radio Wave legends. Oh, this is a nice reference. This comes to us from Nathan in Great Britain, apparently. Nathan? Yes. What's wrong with Nathan?
Chick
The way you said it.
Bob
Oh, you're the one who's listening. My mouth. My mouth is very. My mouth is very dry. I think it says the. This gets back to. Again, the big pizza controversy.
Tom
What the hell?
Bob
Are you drunk?
Tom
So, anyway, this gets back to the big pizza country. Whatever, Sylvester. Go ahead. Suffer and succotash.
Bob
The easiest and best way to eat leftover pizza. He says I eat it cold. Grow up, Tom. No, I hate cold pizza. I'm sorry.
Tom
I bet you've never eaten anything cold in your life. Or not even body temperature. I'm not doing that. Oh, you pee on. You pee out of there.
Christy
Turn the lights off.
Bob
Are you done now speculating about things you don't know?
Tom
Are you telling me you're.
Bob
He says. He says you throw it.
Tom
Throw it.
Bob
You throw it in the oven at 400 degrees for six minutes. It's like it's fresh again. Okay. No, Christy, you're saying no, don't microwave it.
Josh
You say, I use my toaster oven, and I do. Was it you that said you don't preheat?
Bob
No.
Josh
You weren't even here yesterday. It was awesome.
Tom
It's a wonder he doesn't set his house on fire every day.
Josh
Yeah, I just put it in for 3, 500 or whatever, hit the button, and when it gets to temperature, it's done.
Bob
Now, he said, I'm 50. In lieu of the Chuck Norris jokes, can I interest you in Confucius sayings?
Tom
Oh, we tried those. Those are pretty good, actually, for a little bit.
Bob
Okay, so this is all right. This comes to us, apparently, all the way from Great Britain, and that's closer to Confucius ville than we are.
Josh
Right.
Tom
If you go, sorry, that way. I prefer Chinatown. But you're saying Confuciusville. Oh, okay, okay.
Bob
Confucius say, when the Red river flows, take the dirt road home. So you want.
Tom
They're not talking about commuting, are they?
Bob
You'd rather. You'd rather have Chuck Norris, then?
Tom
No, I like that. That's all right.
Bob
Okay, thank you very much.
Tom
Well, Confucius say, man who farteth in church, sit in own pew. That's solid gold mystery right there is what that is.
Bob
Time now to check in with the Sports desk with Chick McGee. Once again, what else did we. What is going on over there?
Tom
Are you.
Josh
Nope.
Progressive Insurance Ad
I'm gonna say yes.
Tom
No, no. Christie doesn't know how correct she is.
Chick
Oh, okay.
Tom
Stupid world record. A man in India is. Has smashed four world records for stacking playing cards. Okay, that's stacking playing cards.
Josh
Four of them.
Tom
Huh.
Bob
But they're not just stacked, Are they?
Josh
Like a house of cards?
Tom
Yes.
Josh
Are they?
Progressive Insurance Ad
How tricky that is, man.
Tom
I used to. When I was a kid, I did this all the time, and my mother would walk by and bump the table.
Pat
Oh, man.
Tom
Yeah, that's what I was. There's no way to live, pal.
Chick
There was a time I was pretty good at it, too.
Tom
Yeah.
Chick
Yeah. The surface. The key is a good.
Tom
The key is. Well, if you on a blanket, you're cheating.
Chick
I know, because sometimes you would. You'd be tempted to put a towel down, and then they would really stay.
Tom
But the hardcore house of card builders, you don't bend the cards ever.
Josh
Really?
Tom
Yeah.
Chick
I didn't bend a much.
Tom
Did you? No, I didn't. Yeah, I thought you might have bent them. No, I did a card bender.
Bob
I did, like, four or five folds, so it was kind of of like a corrugated. Yeah, that's the way to go. You know anything about structure, you know, you need to have. It's amazing.
Tom
You know, the way to go is bend them and then just put them together until you arrive at a Lincoln Log, and then you can really. The guy's name is Arnav Daga. That's a R, N, A, V, Mr. Dagger to you. D, A, G, A. Built the tallest house of cards in four time categories. I live in it 1 hour, 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours.
Bob
It's also my house.
Josh
So it's the same house. They just keep ignoring him.
Christy
We're not paying any attention.
Josh
So it's the same house. It's just. It took him all this.
Tom
What is she talking. He did some additions to the house. What did he do, Andy? Can you help me with it, Chick? First of all, you're one of my favorites on the show, but I get this noise all the time.
Bob
Okay?
Tom
In just one hour, he stacked 30 levels. And as you ladies might understand, I'm reading what's written. Okay. I don't know anything.
Bob
There's a picture of him with. He's on a ladder. He's way up there.
Tom
He later built a 61 level tower, enough to claim the remaining three records in a single day. Christy has a question.
Bob
Okay, that's amazing.
Tom
Wow.
Bob
Obviously, the Key to this is you don't have any dogs or kids around.
Tom
You're not gonna find out if you don't. If you don't ask the question. Christy.
Chick
You know. You know what's ironic about this house of cards? No deck.
Tom
Oh, wow.
Bob
Very good.
Chick
That's good. I stand by that. I would say that amusing is I think your. You got. The initial reaction of you all was incorrect.
Tom
And I don't know.
Chick
I don't often say that. You know, I'll embrace a bomb. That was a strong joke.
Bob
I enjoyed that joke. Very well.
Josh
I don't understand. Well, never mind. So he.
Bob
You see Carlets come in one hour.
Chick
And then I'm not acknowledging it because I'm not going to a meeting.
Josh
I'm not either. 8, 16, and 24 to finish the 62.
Tom
Huh?
Josh
Okay.
Tom
And then what do you have?
Josh
You have a mess. Who has to clean that all.
Tom
There he is.
Chick
He's a young guy. Look at that.
Tom
There's Arnov.
Christy

Chick

Josh
No, he's not.
