Kristi Lee
I heard an interesting story over the weekend. What's that? This fellow told me about this guy who was a bird breeder. Yeah. He was showing off some of his prized birds to some visitors to his bird sanctuary. And he came up to the first cage. He said, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like you to see this. I'm very proud of it. It's a cross between a chicken and a turkey. Chicken and a turkey. We call it a Churchy Cherokee. Makes sense. He went to the next cage. He says, this, ladies and gentlemen, is a cross between a chicken and a goose. We call it a choose. I see. I can see the logic there. And he goes, this in the final cage is my masterpiece. He goes, this is a cross between a pheasant and a duck. We call it George. That, of course, is where the expression came giving someone the bird
Bob Kevoian
is still trying to wake up.

In the meantime, more Bob and Tom extra.
Home Depot Announcer
Tom.
Chick McGee
I have an issue that I'd like to raise real quick. It's tribute bands can be fantastic. They can be really great. I was recently invited to go see. Have you guys heard of Brit Floyd? A tribute band?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Chick McGee
Pink Floyd. I have a problem with Brit Floyd. I don't like when these British people try to take the music of great American bands and do it themselves.
Kristi Lee
I agree.
Chick McGee
I agree. It gets old.
Tom Griswold
You're here.
Chick McGee
It misses something. I don't know why you. This is upsetting me. I don't know why you're laughing.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, Sorry. Well, we were talking about my adventure the other morning. Early Sunday morning. I went into cvs.
Josh Arnold
Mm.
Bob Kevoian
Not too far from my house. And I had to return something. I had purchased a product and it was defective. And I walked in there and I couldn't find anybody. And I walked around and I went down every aisle. I'm looking around, there's. I couldn't find a single person working there.
Chick McGee
Sometimes it feels apocalyptic, doesn't it?
Bob Kevoian
So I finally just walked over to the place where the thing was and I. I took a new one and then I put the old one by the cash register and then I bought some. Bought some gum with the self serve and I left.
Josh Arnold
Gross.
Chick McGee
What?
Oscar
You returned in enema.
Bob Kevoian
No, no.
Chick McGee
Now this didn't quite do the trick.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, no, no.
Tom Griswold
It wasn't a fleet enema, was it? That's a workhorse of the industry.
Bob Kevoian
And I got a fleet of fleets.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
So that's where this letter comes in. This comes to us from Mr. Butcher. He writes, I listened to your segment about CVS. I wanted to see if it was true that sometimes no cashiers can be found in the store. So last night at 8:30, I popped in to grab some cold medication for my husband. Sorry, Ms. Butcher. Excuse me. The parking lot was empty except for one car. I walked in, it was eerily quiet. The pharmacy, of course, was already closed. I went to look for the cold medication. The longer I was reading the labels, looking for certain meds, the creepier and creepier it became. Yes, I finally found that I was looking for him and made my way to the front. As I rounded the corner of an aisle, an older gentleman with what was left of scraggly white hair was standing right there. Oh, it scared the crap out of me. I picked up my step, I saw no cashier. Went to the self checkout. While ringing myself up, I thought, this dang thing won't work. And then what'll I do? It did. I hightailed it out of there. And I'm wondering, where do the cashiers go?
Chick McGee
Where do they go?
Bob Kevoian
What are they doing? Was that a real person or a ghost? Thank you, miss. Oh, that's from Sherry. Sorry, Sherry got your name wrong, man, I guess. I mean, it's hard to get employees. I Guess.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And with the self checkout, I mean, I'm not kidding there wasn't. I. And that as I was leaving, at least eight people were walking in. Like I just looked back and they're
Chick McGee
all looking around like, I know, man. It's, it's, it's so true. It's like common. It's super common that this happens now.
Bob Kevoian
But it's okay with the self checkout. Unless sometimes with self checkout you hit the wrong thing and the next thing you know you're stranded.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, but how many people are walking in there and just take what they want and walking out the door?
Bob Kevoian
Well, I wasn't taking any. I was, I was right.
Josh Arnold
I'm not confusing you. I am just saying it's not okay.
Chick McGee
No, someone should be there.
Bob Kevoian
Well, and I read that story also because. Do you want to do the story right now about the taco sauce?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
This is pretty funny. And I'm. I've been wondering about this sort of thing a lot lately.
Josh Arnold
A man in Florida is accused of using taco seasoning packets to steal $40,000 worth trading cards. According to Florida Attorney General James Utmyer's office, the 39 year old was arrested after he allegedly committed 75 thefts at multiple target locations across his state. Investigators believe the man would grab large boxes of trading cards and an equal number of 99 cent taco seasoning packets at the self checkout line. He allegedly paid only for the seasoning packets before leaving the store with the cards and that he resold on ebay. He reportedly generated almost $40,000 in revenue and he now faces charges of organized retail theft, dealing in stolen property and money laundering.
Bob Kevoian
But his wife got sick of tacos every night. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Money. You like your new coat or not?
Bob Kevoian
You know how many tacos I had to pay for?
Josh Arnold
That's interesting because Target usually does have a person right there.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, they do.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Oscar
Well, not just that. They're pretty good at like, oh, you didn't put the lettuce in the bag. And they come over and they replay it and it shows you moving the lettuce into the bag.
Chick McGee
Oh, no kidding.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Oscar
Or they'll be like, oh, you have items under your cart. It's like, how do you know that? Like, they seem pretty on it for. Maybe I'm just not a good stealer.
Chick McGee
Well, I don't. Your brain probably doesn't function that way.
Tom Griswold
I think the word you want there's thief.
Oscar
No Steeler.
Bob Kevoian
Okay. This is. I know, it just seems so funny to me that he did this over and over and over and over again, man. $40,000 worth of these cars.
Kristi Lee
So.
Bob Kevoian
But just. I guess that's the latest. I don't know how they control the.
Josh Arnold
I'm wondering, now that I think about it, I'm wondering if he scanned the 99 cent taco seasoning and then put the box of trading cards in the. On the.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, because they weigh the same.
Josh Arnold
They weigh.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, that's what it is. And then he would leave the taco.
Josh Arnold
Leave the tac. That's how I think it'd work.
Bob Kevoian
See, this is the script for Ocean's 12. You write this, Christie. You nailed it. That's how. Now I get it.
Josh Arnold
Okay. Yeah, that would make sense.
Tom Griswold
It's all on weight.
Bob Kevoian
So this is like the thing in Indiana Jones where he walks up and they weigh the same and he pulls them out. But I guess he gets it wrong. Right? Because isn't that when the.
Chick McGee
It doesn't work? No, he thinks it does.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. For just a second. And then the giant granite ball comes coming at him.
Bob Kevoian
So are people going to the grocery stores, Dishonest people. And they. They scan the bag of, I don't know, something cheap and then they swap the lobsters in there.
Josh Arnold
I hope not.
Chick McGee
Yeah, they actually. They plan on that happening. Like they budget a certain amount of money in their yearly budget for theft. Is that it actually ends up being cheaper.
Bob Kevoian
Cheaper than hiring people to check you out.
Chick McGee
But don't do it. You don't. You don't need to be a scumbag.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. I'm not suggesting you become dishonest.
Chick McGee
Right.
Bob Kevoian
You nailed. I didn't put that together. Christy. There. That explains the talk. So perhaps the wife wasn't getting tacos.
Josh Arnold
No, she wasn't. Now she's upset.
Bob Kevoian
Or maybe every once in a while. Hey, for God's sake, could you just leave one thing at cards and bring home some taco stuff? Or find something that weighs the same as Hamburger Helper.
Tom Griswold
Now, there's a long storied history on the show about Thomisms. Tom, would you care to explain when you can't think of a word?
Bob Kevoian
I have trouble thinking and talking at the same time. So this was a terrible choice for a semi career. But what happens. You're trying to. You get something across and you can't think of a particular thing. And you say, you know the. The black things that go around the wheels in your car when you can't think of the word tires?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Well, this is the first time I think we have a visual Thomism. This is from Jan in Ohio. She says, a fellow Ohioan. I just can't remember the name of this vegetable. And she sent us this picture.
Josh Arnold
There it is.
Tom Griswold
It says salad cookies over a pile of cucumbers.
Bob Kevoian
Sliced cucumbers?
Chick McGee
Yep.
Bob Kevoian
That's hilarious.
Chick McGee
Salad cookies.
Tom Griswold
Salad cookies.
Chick McGee
You know, fool me once.
Bob Kevoian
By the way, there isn't a kid out there that's gonna walk up to that, see the sign that says salad cookies, and not look up and go, this is a scam. This is how children find out that adults don't know everything. How dare you call that.
Chick McGee
They're pretty thick. Would you say half an inch?
Josh Arnold
They were pretty thick.
Chick McGee
Are they too thick?
Bob Kevoian
Yes.
Home Depot Announcer
Yes.
Chick McGee
Okay. Yeah, you guys would be cutting those thin.
Josh Arnold
Way too thick.
Bob Kevoian
We do those every night before dinner.
Oscar
Yukes.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, Sliced like chips. Sliced cucumbers.
Josh Arnold
Do you use one of those things that go mandolin? Thank you. Mandolin that cut people's fingers off?
Tom Griswold
A lot of times, you know mandolin, but you don't know thief. You are an enigma.
Bob Kevoian
Wait a minute.
Oscar
Sometimes people use different words.
Bob Kevoian
You mean a peeler?
Josh Arnold
It's not a peeler. Well, I got. You call that a peeler?
Bob Kevoian
Potato peeler. The thing that has the two blades.
Josh Arnold
No, no, no, no, no. You don't use that, do you?
Bob Kevoian
You peel the cucumber and then you.
Chick McGee
Oh, you do.
Josh Arnold
You peel your cucumbers.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. You don't eat the skin.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, you do.
Chick McGee
I would say 90% of the people eat the skin.
Bob Kevoian
And that's why situation we have.
Chick McGee
Right. You know what he made?
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show. I remember Tom talking many, many times about wanting to put a camera in a football.
Josh Arnold
Yep.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I saw a camera in a puck yesterday. I got very dizzy. Tom watching the video.
Tom Griswold
Get a load of this camera in a puck.
Chick McGee
Oh, my gosh.
Tom Griswold
There it is. It's actually a hollowed out puck. And they put a in there and screw it down. And then the hockey team. He's looking at the camera in the puck right now, and they throw it
Chick McGee
down on the ice and it's all fine until he. They shoot at the net.
Oscar
Yeah, I'm already dizzy.
Bob Kevoian
That's so cool.
Tom Griswold
That's so cool is his response.
Chick McGee
There he goes. He passes to the other guy. But yeah, I got pretty dizzy when he started. They started shooting at the net.
Bob Kevoian
So is so. Because my thought was eventually they'll have some kind of technology that as it spins, the camera will stay still. This. The camera will either stay still or it will. It will counter their actual spinning in real time. Digitally and freeze it.
Tom Griswold
Kind of done it for the football. I think that exists, but they haven't really utilized.
Bob Kevoian
We were talking about this because the coverage of the Olympics was just breathtaking. It was so great.
Josh Arnold
I would see that as the camera in the puck, not on the top, but in the. Like, looking out of the thin part so you see where the puck is going.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
No, that was rather than looking at.
Bob Kevoian
Well, eventually. Eventually they'll have you think five of them. Yeah. But I mean, can you imagine if it was in a football and you see the football going up and as. As it's approaching the receiver. Be amazing.
Chick McGee
I don't think it's.
Tom Griswold
I don't think that would enhance my enjoyment of watching.
Chick McGee
Same with the hot. That's not gonna. That's just a lark. They're not gonna actually do that. There'd be no reason.
Oscar
They would have to put, like, a gyroscope in the. Mounted To a gyroscope inside the football or.
Bob Kevoian
I'm saying can't. If the visual was spinning around, couldn't another computer unscramble it?
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I think that's what they're.
Bob Kevoian
Which leads me to this, Jeff. Oscar, you're a man of a certain age.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And I'm sure when you came up. When you came up with your. Did you have the kind of cable TV that had the porno channel that was scrambled.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And like. And every once in a while you get like a freeze frame of a boob.
Oscar
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
It was so rad.
Bob Kevoian
I. Do you think that I've always wondered about this? If there's some guy that. That's how they were. They were trained at age 13 or whatever. And to this day, if they see that scrambled thing all of a sudden.
Tom Griswold
Bonerville.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Chick McGee
The answer is no. No. But.
Oscar
But you're really good at noticing what everything is.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Oscar
Like, when you watch it again, it
Chick McGee
may be way better. Maybe way better at those Magic Eye posters.
Tom Griswold
I love those. And, Tom, I want to scare you whenever I can. So this is. I'm not sure where this marina is, but someone posted this on X this morning. It's a great white shark just swimming around a marina.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, my God. That. That's a huge one.
Chick McGee
It looks massive. And. Yeah, I can't.
Oscar
Oh, no.
Chick McGee
It's hard to chill on the dock when that thing's going by.
Bob Kevoian
Right.
Oscar
Wow.
Chick McGee
It's awesome.
Tom Griswold
That's amazing.
Bob Kevoian
That is. That's got to be, what, 10ft?
Chick McGee
Hey, kids, go ahead and come up the ladder real quick.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Oh, let's let's go up here, have lunch.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Chick McGee
We got popsicles. Popsicles.
Tom Griswold
There we go. Yeah. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
It's interesting because there are no boats there, so it must. I wonder if it's.
Tom Griswold
Well, I don't think you can see. There are boats.
Bob Kevoian
That's terrifying.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's pretty.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, there's one. Okay. There is one there. Oh, there's two of them there. Sorry. Okay. Wow.
Chick McGee
Boy, that's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful shark. But you accidentally fall in. I mean, chances are you accidentally fall in, it swims off.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
But I don't know. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Why.
Chick McGee
No, I'm not taking.
Bob Kevoian
Terrified.
Tom Griswold
More upset.
Josh Arnold
I am worried I'd reach down and try to pet it.
Chick McGee
You and I are idiots when it comes down.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Christopher (Producer/Host)
We had that.
Bob Kevoian
Remember that story we had not too long ago where the guy did that and it was. The guy bit his hand off?
Josh Arnold
Well, you can get his dorsal fin because he's already passed.
Chick McGee
You see, I. I have the same instincts, Christy.
Bob Kevoian
Yes. Well, I was going for the dorsal when I slipped. No, it wasn't diabetes. It was a great one. Good morning. This is from Dave in Warren, Ohio.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
Named after, of course, the Warren Report.
Tom Griswold
I think. I think Dave Grohl's from Warren, Ohio. Go ahead.
Bob Kevoian
My wife was doing some early spring cleaning and dusting. She said, could you please come in and move the sand globe? Anyone want to figure out what.
Chick McGee
What could a sand globe be?
Bob Kevoian
He goes, I'm. He goes, I have no idea. I walk in. Oh, you mean the hourglass.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Don't you love an hourglass?
Josh Arnold
How big is her hourglass?
Bob Kevoian
It must be one of those giant.
Marvel Studios Promoter
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
I had a friend that had a real tall one that sat, like, next to their couch.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Do you know how. What time it.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Like, was it, like, 12 hours?
Chick McGee
I just assumed it was my friend's mom's life.
Bob Kevoian
Oh.
Chick McGee
And once it ran out, she died
Bob Kevoian
before they had the digital one.
Oscar
Yeah. Could you get your ashes in a. In a hourglass for your family to play, like, games with?
Chick McGee
You'd have to mix. I don't think ashes would fall the way sand does.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you have to mix.
Chick McGee
Maybe you'd have to mix it in the way. Dude, that'd be interesting.
Bob Kevoian
If anyone out there has done that, please write, we want to know.
Chick McGee
So would you make it last as long as. Like, if she lived to be 73, would you make it take 73 years to go down?
Bob Kevoian
No, 73 seconds. So you could use it for a game? Oh, yes. You'd Be.
Chick McGee
You want to play Mom's dead again?
Bob Kevoian
I love that game.
Tom Griswold
No. Let's go down to the marina and look at the great white shark.
Bob Kevoian
That's what. That's how she left. That's why they're. We only have, like, half a body's worth of ashes because, you know, the others were digested. Okay. Well, we love getting your mail, and as you can see, it takes us all kinds of directions. And you. You can always email us. It's about.
Tom Griswold
I still want to know what Orson Bean knows about an orgasm that I don't. Okay.
Bob Kevoian
I'm not.
Tom Griswold
I've never had any complaints.
Bob Kevoian
I think the book is called. I'll have to look it up. I think it's called Orgone and Me.
Chick McGee
Well, Chick, I had a lovely time, but you're no Orson Bean.
Tom Griswold
Son of a. Get Bean out here.
Bob Kevoian
Orson Bean was a famous game show contestant, I guess, kind of in the. The.
Tom Griswold
I think he was on the X Files.
Chick McGee
I think he didn't show up.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, a couple times.
Bob Kevoian
These are sort of the early days of game shows.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
But.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Carlisle.
Bob Kevoian
The people who were famous for. Now, I guess it's like reality show people, I guess, like Colby from Survivor. It's kind of had a career.
Josh Arnold
And Peggy Cass. Was she on there?
Bob Kevoian
Yes. Yeah, she was an actress. Was it? She was in that great show with the monkeys.
Tom Griswold
She was on that great show with the monkeys.
Bob Kevoian
Monkeys, sorry. With the chimpanzees. Like the marquee.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Or Bobby Borsini's Chimps or something.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah. Nothing's funnier than shows that have chimpanzees dressed up wearing shoes and smoking and I know we can't. We can't do this anymore because it's politically incorrect.
Chick McGee
Come on. What about the monkeys that like to smoke?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
That's not abuse, man.
Bob Kevoian
Remember that one? They had to put signs up, stop giving the chimpanzees cigarettes. Please, please.
Josh Arnold
We've come a long way, baby.
Bob Kevoian
Would it be really great if after a while, you walk by the chimpanzee cage and you see one of the boy chimps light up to and one tall man.
Chick McGee
It's a baller move.
Oscar
Oh, I thought you were gonna say they pulled out a can of zins and popped on it.
Chick McGee
That might be the case now.
