NHTSA PSA Announcer (Alternate)
Hey, folks, let me ask you a serious question. Did you know that driving high is considered driving under the influence? That's right. Driving under the influence of marijuana is against the law in every state. That means even in states where marijuana is legal, that means driving high could get you a dui. And if you think law enforcement officers can't tell when you're driving high, well, my friend, you're wrong. If you're high, they can tell. Your friends can tell. Your co workers can tell. Even your parents can tell. Everyone can tell. So what makes you think that law enforcement officers don't know when you're driving high? You'd be wrong. They can tell, too. Driving under the influence of marijuana can slow your response time and change how you perceive time and speed. So even if you think you're fine to drive when you're high, you're not. Because the bottom line is if you feel different, you drive different. And driving high is driving under the influence. So remember, drive high. Get a DUI paid for by nhtsa.

Bob Kevoian
You asked for it, you got it. More Bob and Tom. This is Bob and Tom Extra.
Tom Griswold
There's Pat Godwin. Hello, Josh. Arnold Chick.
Josh Arnold
Does the name Howie Felter Snatch make you laugh?
Tom Griswold
Yes. Yes it does. I like Peter goes in.
Bob Kevoian
Now what I forget.
Tom Griswold
I told you I lost.
Bob Kevoian
Which TED Talk. Which TED talk did Howie Felter snatch do? I. I forget.
Josh Arnold
As you know, I watch a lot of C span and I see they were.
Tom Griswold
When I such thing when I was a kid, I lost my mind. The first time I heard the Pittsburgh Feelers, I couldn't stand it. Hi, Tom. How you doing, buddy?
Bob Kevoian
Just fine. I have a couple things in the news to make me angry.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, yeah. But first I didn't. I think you had. You'd picked out something. Christy, wasn't it like nose? What was it again?
Josh Arnold
Oh, tiny nose robots. You want to hear about that?
Bob Kevoian
I hope they're tiny.
Josh Arnold
Are these like nano robots that'll pick your nose for you?
Scientists say swores if you would let me finish.
Tom Griswold
God sakes, answer him. Okay.
Josh Arnold
Swarms of tiny robots inserted into your nose could one day be used to clear sinus infections.
No kidding.
The micro robots, which are a fraction of the width of a human hair, are injected into the sinus cavity and are then guided to their target by electromag magnetism. They can heat up to begin chemical reactions that wipe out bacterial infections.
Bob Kevoian
They're tiny. The ones that they're going to use for the robotic colonics are a lot bigger.
Josh Arnold
A lot bigger. Oh no.
Tom Griswold
And a lot braver.
Bob Kevoian
But I'll tell you what. Constipation a thing of the past. In the future you won't be. You get clogged up, you just shove the robots in and they go do their stuff.
Josh Arnold
The tiny robots were successfully.
Bob Kevoian
Well, basically this wasn't what I added. Mind.
Josh Arnold
Were successfully inserted into animals during pre clinical trials and researchers believe they could be in clinical use within 10 years.
That's craziness.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, it's not if I have anything to say about it. But what was the. What was the movie? Was it. Was it Fantastic Voyage? Were they sure?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Russia.
Bob Kevoian
Was they shrink the.
Tom Griswold
Wasn't Donald Pleasence in that?
Josh Arnold
Yes. The poor guy gets amoebaed.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
If I remember correctly.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. They give. Some of it does not go well for some.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. And inner space too, where Martin Short has shrunk down and put. I'm sorry, Dennis Quaid has shrunk down and put into Martin Short's body. Travel around. Yeah. That's a fun one.
Bob Kevoian
Oh yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
That's good.
Tom Griswold
Isn't that where he met Meg Ryan or something?
Josh Arnold
It is, yeah.
Tom Griswold
That's what I thought.
Josh Arnold
I think.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Just published in the journal Menopause, a new study suggests that having more sex may reduce pain during menopause.
Says male doctors everywhere, by the way.
Says every man over 40.
Bob Kevoian
The fact that there's a magazine Menopause.
Josh Arnold
Nothing to laugh at, my friend.
Bob Kevoian
No, but I mean, can you imagine the postman delivering that? I was on the COVID this week. Oprah again.
Josh Arnold
Researchers studied nearly 1,000 women aged 40 to 79.
Can you imagine?
Confirmed that the number of women having regular sexual activity decreased significantly with age.
Well, yeah, because they don't look as good.
Bob Kevoian
Thank you, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Whoa. They noted, however, that orgasm and satisfaction.
Tom Griswold
And now, Josh Arnold Angers.
Josh Arnold
America did not change with age.
22 year old in the year and a 71 year old. Who you banging?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you leave it up to them, right?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I got a 24 year old guy before I beg a 71 year old woman.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I think we've.
Josh Arnold
Boy, you are walking a thin line, my friend.
Tom Griswold
I hope.
Bob Kevoian
Do we have that record recorded? I want to. I want to send that to Josh. Ten years to the day from right now.
Josh Arnold
If it's not clear that I'm being an absolute idiot.
Women who engaged in regular sexual activity limited vulvar. Vulvar pain. I've never even heard that word.
Tom Griswold
Vulvar pain.
Josh Arnold
V U, L, V A R. That.
Bob Kevoian
Sounds like something from a Star Trek. So I have a question.
Josh Arnold
Wouldn't it be vulva pain? I can't.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, maybe it may be a typo.
Josh Arnold
That must be a typo. So irritation and dryness.
Bob Kevoian
I'm sorry, I've lost my place here. So they're suggesting that women, a post menopause women should have more sex or.
Josh Arnold
If you're going through menopause, you should be having sex. Yes.
To alleviate the discomfort of menopause. All right. Well, this is good. I mean, I. Look, I know I've had friends and I remember being younger and friends. Moms going through it and it just seeming like a really tough, really hot.
Tom Griswold
Wasn't it?
Bob Kevoian
No, I have. What was the pleasure? What was the name of the quarterly. Whatever it was.
Josh Arnold
Menopause.
Bob Kevoian
It's just. That's just the name of the magazine.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Menopause Quarterly just called Menopause.
Bob Kevoian
If it comes late, does it mean you're pregnant?
Josh Arnold
That's.
That's Menstruation magazine. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Sorry.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Menstruation magazine.
Tom Griswold
They understand their confusion.
Bob Kevoian
That's it. It's like People and us.
Josh Arnold
Right, Exactly.
Bob Kevoian
It's the same magazine, but just slightly. Slightly different. So.
Josh Arnold
Oh, just wait. Your time's coming.
Bob Kevoian
Okay. Did you find that to be an issue with you?
Josh Arnold
I did not.
Bob Kevoian
Okay.
Josh Arnold
But I have. I'm on. I mean, it's not some secret. I'm on hormone replacement therapy. Therapy. So I don't have those issues.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Josh, you know how to make a hormone?
Josh Arnold
Know how?
Tom Griswold
Don't pay her.
Bob Kevoian
The classic.
Josh Arnold
But it's not for everybody. Check with your doctor. I am not advocating. A new research reveals just how injury prone we Americans are conducted on behalf of curar. C U R A D. The cured.
Bob Kevoian
Right.
Josh Arnold
What's cure? Oh, the Band Aid people.
Bob Kevoian
Oh.
Josh Arnold
The Talker research survey of 2,000 adults found that the average American gets a surprising 35 scrapes and bruises each year.
Bob Kevoian
Aha. Ergo.
Josh Arnold
I'm a. I'm a Band aid.
Bob Kevoian
You're loyal to Band Aid?
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Yes. I don't even know this brand.
Go suck it Cured.
Is that the green one? Is it in a green label we have here?
I think. Yeah. I was like, oh, spring for the brand name.
I thought it was a cruise line.
Bob Kevoian
I.
Josh Arnold
35. I get 35 bruises a week.
Bob Kevoian
So it says the average American gets 35. What is it?
Josh Arnold
Scrapes and bruises each year?
Bob Kevoian
Easily.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Yeah.
More than half of those polled said they are more likely to get hurt in the summer. Well, it's because you're outside doing more stuff. Top causes are distraction, 35% clumsiness, 20%.
I don't buy this at all. And kitchen mishaps that people are clumsier in the summer. That just doesn't make.
Sorry.
It doesn't make much sense to me.
Bob Kevoian
Is there a correlation between people walking and staring at their phones?
Josh Arnold
More than 80%. Tom said they have had near miss while being distracted on their phone.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, okay. Yes, that. That makes sense.
Josh Arnold
To me. Yep.
And about half of the parents surveyed said their child is even more accident prone than they are.
Have you run into something while looking at your phone?
Bob Kevoian
There was a famous video in the early days.
Josh Arnold
Are you talking about the fountain?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, the guy that. And he sued. The guy's walking, staring.
Josh Arnold
I sure hope he didn't win. He probably did.
Bob Kevoian
No way. And he. And he walked right into a fountain and fell.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. That's a great video. There are a few of those.
Bob Kevoian
Isn't there one where a guy falls down a massive set of stairs and like some big public pl.
Josh Arnold
Oh, gosh.
I ran into one of those big target red balls while talking on the phone. I'm sorry. While looking at my phone. And then that was the day I stopped looking at my phone while walking. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. So more stubbed toes caused by Instagram these days. Yes.
Tom Griswold
The target red balls are not decorative.
Josh Arnold
No, they also. They don't. Not a lot of give.
Tom Griswold
No. They are there for a reason.
Bob Kevoian
Are those made of concrete?
Tom Griswold
Yes. Yeah. And don't look up. Why they're.
Josh Arnold
I shinned it. Good boy.
You've had to have run into something looking at your phone.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, probably. I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Other than other drivers, I'm guessing haven't.
Bob Kevoian
Run into any other automobiles recently. Recently I clocked my head. Oh twice over the weekend like an idiot.
Josh Arnold
On.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I make a mention this heart spilled nail polish on stone. On a beautiful stone. I hope she's ground floor.
Josh Arnold
Did you ground her? She's going to do it again.
Bob Kevoian
So I'm gonna become her. I'm up there. I went over to Target, funny enough and I bought. What's this stuff called? Acetone.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Polish remover.
Josh Arnold
You a tone not Tate. Huh?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And yeah, there are both but right one's.
Bob Kevoian
And by the way, I want to thank the guy that someone sent me a really good tip because I had trouble getting it off for the first.
Tom Griswold
That's not a surprise. Anyone listening?
Bob Kevoian
What are those? Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
Josh Arnold
Those are alien technology. I'm convinced.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, thanks for the tip. That actually anybody But I'm so I'm down on my knees doing this thing. Someone comes up from behind.
Josh Arnold
Oh yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And opens it. Opens the drawer on the vanity in the bathroom.
Josh Arnold
You mean B hole.
Bob Kevoian
I didn't notice it. And I stand up right out of a Three Stooges episode. Clonk.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that hurts.
Why didn't they shut the drawer?
Bob Kevoian
I was so angry. I bet the expletives immediately started.
Tom Griswold
And it cut your head.
Bob Kevoian
You said Yeah, I was really upset.
Josh Arnold
It used to when I had hair, there was a time where I would hit my head. No bleeding. Now that I'm essentially bald, a lot of bleeding when I hit my head.
Tom Griswold
Nothing bleeds like a head wound.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, nothing. That's your true. Once again, thanks for joining us. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom show. We have heads bleeding and we are. We've decided Band Aids is Band Aids.
Tom Griswold
Cure ad Band Aids. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Sorry, curad people, I'm sorry. I wasn't familiar with your product. I didn't. Brand loyal, I guess.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, but. And I always ask for a Band Aid. It's one of the things like it's.
Tom Griswold
Like Kleenex and if there's anything any other product that there's such a difference between the number one brand and anything else, I can't think of one that's Q tip is.
Bob Kevoian
I think Q Tip is a bigger.
Tom Griswold
Difference than Band Aid, but I agree with you. I think any other.
Josh Arnold
The margin is huge.
Bob Kevoian
Hotels have those off brand Q Tips.
Josh Arnold
They're like sticks in your ear even.
Bob Kevoian
Though they're golf pencils.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, see, I disagree. To me, they're like loose noodles. They're not stiff enough at all. Q tip is the only one that has the correct amount of stiffness.
You're really getting in there.
Oh, I go for brain.
Tom Griswold
You're not supposed to. You're not supposed to put them in your ear, though. It says right on the box.
Josh Arnold
I mean that's just because.
Tom Griswold
Is there a bigger lie in America?
Bob Kevoian
That's what we were saying.
Tom Griswold
Don't put these in your ear. Okay, I won't.
Bob Kevoian
I was talking to just to ask a about this. We got a couple of. Of pool rafts. You know, they have the big pillow in the back. It's like you have to blow it up.
Josh Arnold
And they're pool rafts as opposed to the land rafts.
Bob Kevoian
Well, that's the difference, Josh. They float. I'll float.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no, you got the ra know.
Tom Griswold
I'm just thankful that that's all the explanation we got because I thought we were going down.
Bob Kevoian
I'll take a picture of it down the river.
Tom Griswold
The pool raft, of course.
Josh Arnold
A floating one.
Tom Griswold
A floating.
Bob Kevoian
There was reason for me to expand upon it. You members of the illiterati will understand in a matter of moments.
Tom Griswold
They are a verbose bunch, your group, aren't they?
Bob Kevoian
The backside of them. The entire backside. Yeah. I mean it's like 5 inches by 30 inches is disclaimer.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah, you know, it's.
Bob Kevoian
This is not a life saving device. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, a lot of blah, blah, blah.
Bob Kevoian
There's a lot of lawyering going on in the business of making a life raft. I mean. I know. See what happens there Now I'm gonna get sued. I'll take a picture. It's unbelievable.
Josh Arnold
Yes, please. We want to see your wrap.
Bob Kevoian
See it?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Have us over for a pool party. Come on.
Bob Kevoian
All right.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
That's interesting. He didn't say, hey, come on over.
Right?
He said, I'll send you a picture of my raft.
We've never gonna be invited to his house.
Ever have a work swim party?
Bob Kevoian
I've talked to the guy about getting a filtration system, so after you leave, we can have the water replaced.
Josh Arnold
That's what he thinks of us.
Josh has very oily skin. You'll want something to filter out the oyster crackers or whatever it is.
Bob Kevoian
5% diarrhea.
Josh Arnold
Yes. No, he. Tom's not wrong. I can swim in his pool. I'm diarrheing.
Bob Kevoian
Oh.
Tom Griswold
I don't care about diary or not. I'm. I'm moving in that.
Bob Kevoian
Prepping with proof what's coming up in the news.
Josh Arnold
Do you have a hot tub also, Tom?
Bob Kevoian
No, I hate those.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Hey, it's hot tubs.
Josh Arnold
Your pool doesn't have a hot tub.
Bob Kevoian
Built into it, like just a simple rectangular pool.
Josh Arnold
That's great. Oh, simple diving board.
Bob Kevoian
No Pool house.
Josh Arnold
Oh, God, no.
Tom Griswold
Slide.
Bob Kevoian
Slide, no. Although we did try to set up a slip and slide. I told you. We got an off brand slip and slide, which apparently was made of sandpaper.
Josh Arnold
Why do you need a slip inside if you've got a pool?
Because they're different. They're fun.
Bob Kevoian
They're little kids. They. They get sick of swimming and they want to do tricks and they want to run up to the pool and slide. 30ft.
Josh Arnold
Girls as dumb as guys. Because if this were the case for my brothers, we would try to figure it out where we could slip and slide into the pool.
Bob Kevoian
Of course, that's what we did all weekend.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay. Cool.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, we took it. We.
Josh Arnold
How did you slip and slide on concrete?
Bob Kevoian
We had a very painfully. We have. We have. We have grass leading up to the pool. There's only like a foot of stone.
Josh Arnold
Oh, nice.
Bob Kevoian
We don't have what they call hard. What do they call it? Hard space or hard something.
Josh Arnold
I don't know. What do they call it?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, it's hard penis.
Josh Arnold
Is that what it's called?
Tom Griswold
The Conversation.
Bob Kevoian
We were talking about.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Something else. We have a. We took a big gym mat.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Bob Kevoian
And I just sat there with a hose.
Tom Griswold
Now walk me through gym.
Josh Arnold
What are those?
Tom Griswold
I'm not keeping up.
Bob Kevoian
You know, I know it worked, but I'm. I'm in the market for a decent slip and slide.
Josh Arnold
Well, the whammo, people. It starts when I was a kid.
It began. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Crocodile Mile was also great.
Bob Kevoian
They were out of them, and we got some off brand.
Tom Griswold
Don't you guys cut up garbage bags?
Josh Arnold
No, we never did that.
Tom Griswold
Dishwasher lotion on them.
Josh Arnold
Oh, gosh, that's got to work.
Tom Griswold
You got to go 3mil on the garbage bag.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, but you're better. You're better off getting a giant thing of viscount. But you're right. We did. We did. My pool is now full of. Of soap.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm sure.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. You take that spray. Whatever it's called, Dawn. Yeah, and that's. That helped, too, but I just stood there with the sprinkler thing on them, and.
Josh Arnold
So now you have bubbles in your pool. That's cool.
Yeah.
Foam party now.
Bob Kevoian
Well, that'll counteract the diarrhea, though. Josh goes swimming.
Josh Arnold
I can't wait.
Bob Kevoian
Right now, I want to say, I.
Tom Griswold
Might go off the diving board.
Josh Arnold
He doesn't have a diving board.
Tom Griswold
That's right over the edge. I don't care. I want everyone to see me.
Bob Kevoian
I think to get a diving board, I think the insurance is $500,000 a year.
Tom Griswold
That seems unreasonable.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. You have to have. If you do have one, you've got to have. The pool has to be, like, 16ft deep.
Josh Arnold
Oh, sure. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Have you noticed every hotel on earth has taking out the diving boards?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Now you have to get a diving board. That's grandfathered in. I think that comes with the house that you're buying.
Bob Kevoian
I wouldn't want one. No, no, no.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you don't like fun?
Bob Kevoian
No, I like fun, but I don't like.
Tom Griswold
Well, you know, the dive diving board, what they call them nowadays. The Widowmaker.
Josh Arnold
The Lou Gaines 3000.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. My lawyer's on vacation this week, so it's a good time not to have a diving.
Josh Arnold
Diving boards. We're all alive.
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
True. Well.
Josh Arnold
What?
Tom Griswold
I never learned how.
Bob Kevoian
I got a buddy.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Tom Griswold
Never did. Never learned how to dive.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, I can teach you.
Josh Arnold
No, I'm not a diver either, but nobody wants to see a fat guy dive.
Tom Griswold
That's what I wrestle with. Right, right.
Bob Kevoian
But I can teach you how to dive. It's Real easy.
Tom Griswold
I'd have to come to your house.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, I will teach you. It's very simple. You get down in a little ball and grip your knees like this. And just put your head down and I push you. And pretty soon you'll be diving 10 minutes later. It's a very easy trick.
Tom Griswold
This doesn't involve a burlap sack at all, does it?
Josh Arnold
And a concrete blocks.
Bob Kevoian
The thing is.
Tom Griswold
What are you tying around my feet?
Bob Kevoian
Tom, the key to this chick is when I teach you how to die, you cannot wear a bathing suit.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Josh Arnold
What?
Tom Griswold
Hey, hey, hey.
Josh Arnold
You've gone into some kind of weird.
Tom Griswold
You let big daddy talk how he talks. I like it.

Hey, folks, let me ask you a serious question. Did you know that driving high is considered driving under the influence? That's right. Driving under the influence of marijuana is against the law in every state. That means even in states where marijuana is legal, that means driving high could get you a dui. And if you think law enforcement officers can't tell when you're driving high, well, my friend, you're wrong. If you're high, they can tell. Your friends can tell. Your co workers can tell. Even your parents can tell. Everyone can tell. So what makes you think that law enforcement officers don't know when you're driving high? You'd be wrong. They can tell, too. Driving under the influence of marijuana can slow your response time and change how you perceive time and speed. So even if you think you're fine to drive when you're high, you're not. Because the bottom line is, if you feel different, you drive different. And driving high is driving under the influence. So remember, drive high, get a DUI paid for by nhtsa.
Episode Theme:
A hilarious and offbeat dive into today's stranger-than-fiction science news, body mishaps, and the hazards (and joys) of backyard pools. Featuring quick-witted banter, playful jabs, and plenty of unserious takes on life's little bruises, medical marvels, and summer fun.
[04:44 – 06:28]
Tiny nose robots! The group discusses a recent science story about micro-robots being developed to cure sinus infections.
Josh Arnold introduces: "Swarms of tiny robots inserted into your nose could one day be used to clear sinus infections... a fraction of the width of a human hair, injected into the sinus cavity, guided by electromagnetism." (05:00)
They joke about other potential uses: Bob Kevoian quips, “The ones that they're going to use for the robotic colonics are a lot bigger.” (05:15)
Tom Griswold alludes to sci-fi: "Was it Fantastic Voyage? Where they shrink down the people—Donald Pleasence got amoebaed." (06:06)
Movie references abound: Josh Arnold: "And 'Innerspace' too, Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, traveling inside the body. That’s a fun one." (06:18)
[06:34 – 09:15]
Josh Arnold segues to a new menopause study: "Just published in the journal Menopause, a new study suggests that having more sex may reduce pain during menopause. Says male doctors everywhere, by the way." (06:34)
The hosts riff on the magazine's title:
The group touches on HRT (hormone replacement therapy).
Classic groaner from Tom:
[09:38 – 12:14]
Josh Arnold shares research: “The average American gets a surprising 35 scrapes and bruises each year.” (09:57)
Brand loyalty debates:
Main injury causes: distraction, clumsiness, and kitchen mishaps.
Josh Arnold confesses: “I ran into one of those big Target red balls while looking at my phone. That was the day I stopped looking at my phone while walking.” (11:40)
Tom Griswold factually correct: “The target red balls are not decorative.” (11:57)
