Drinking and driving will change your whole world. The next time you're out with friends, consider what would happen if you got pulled over after drinking. Like the legal fees or the time in court or a DUI on your record. Your decision to drink and drive could change someone else's world too, if you hurt or even kill them in a crash. Instead, what if a decision to call a sober ride changed your world for the better? Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by nhtsa.

Public Service Announcer
Rock here's some extra. This is Bob and Tom.
Tom
Extra. Hello, Tom.
Bob
We were going over side dishes for Thanksgiving and I you are asking what my least favorite was. I'd forgotten about this one.
Josh
Okay.
Bob
I just found a list of the top 10.
Tom
I didn't know the what? Does anyone have 10 side dishes?
Bob
You don't have to have all the top 10 Mac and cheese, by the way. Way down at number eight. But I'd forgotten about this one. Jell O salad? Yeah, absolutely a no, I haven't seen.
Kristi
That since I was a kid. My grandma made it, I think.
Bob
But in lieu of food, we have gelatin it has.
Kristi
It had fruit in it.
Bob
Like a bananas.
Josh
Marshmallows.
Kristi
Yeah.
Bob
Oh, God.
Josh
Ambrosia.
Kristi
What's the stuff that has the pretzels in it though? That's pretty good.
Kelly
Waldorf salad. Is that what that is?
Kristi
No, it's kind of like a jello, but it also has whipped cream and pretzels.
Kelly
Yeah, that's actually pretty good.
Josh
I've heard that. Ambrosia salad, but I don't know, it got to be regional.
Kelly
What's the one with marshmallows and pineapple.
Kristi
And 5 cup salad.
Kelly
I like that.
Kristi
I do too.
Bob
That couldn't get my garbage can.
Tom
In order.
Bob
I'll start with number one according to this list. I've got two lists here. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, Mac and cheese, roasted vegetables and creamed corn.
Kristi
Dinner rolls as a side.
Josh
Oh, sure.
Kristi
It's an accessory.
Kelly
Yeah.
Josh
Oh, okay. You don't consider them, but I mean I don't consider. Gravy aside, consider that more of a condiment.
Kristi
Right? It's not a side.
Bob
I thought for sure you say beverage steak. Sorry.
Josh
Yeah, I'm an overweight man.
Kristi
Oh, I got a new gravy boat shaped like a pumpkin. It's so cute. Has a little top on it. Oh, it's so cute.
Bob
Now we promised we would get to this Apple story.
Kristi
This is Apple's unveiled a new iPhone carrying sling.
Josh
All right.
Kristi
But it has a hefty price tag if you want one. Created in collaboration with Icy Miyake, the iPhone pocket is a 3D knitted fabric sleeve that is meant to fit an iPhone and a few other small items like maybe a lipstick or your driver's license and a credit card. Apple said the accessory was inspired by the concept of, quote, a piece of cloth. A short strap.
Bob
Right there. Right there. I'm out. The concept of a piece of cloth.
Kristi
Kind of looks like a tube sock.
Bob
First of all, it's not a concept, it's an idea concept. Gravity is a concept. But I don't argue with. Well, he is really.
Kristi
There's no piece of cloth that's going to set you back 150 bucks for the short version. The long strap design, 220 or $230.
Josh
Yeah, I gotta Google it.
Kristi
There's a. There's a shot there's a guy wearing it.
Bob
It is so gay looking.
Kristi
That is.
Bob
The shot comes with Eliza Minnelli signed butt plug. That thing. If no man is going to wear that.
Kristi
There are eight colors available.
Josh
You know what? I. This is not. I don't think America is. What they're. Is the audience. They're going, this is. This will be all over Japan. This is an Asian style.
Bob
This is the emperor's new clothes.
Kristi
And it's designed by an Asian designer.
Bob
No, it's designed. It's designed by the guy that did Jobs. Steve Jobs. Famous Dickies or whatever they were called. Turtlenecks. That's who designed it. And ergo.
Kelly
So there's a story behind it, kind of.
Bob
Yeah, I. Yeah, but, Josh, you've nailed it. That. Absolutely. It'll be great in Europe and Japan.
Josh
I see college kids using these. I don't know. I think this has an audience, and I agree. It doesn't look as bad.
Bob
You know what it looks like? It looks like the thing that I used to wear when I was captain of the safety patrol. Thank you. You know those things you wear, the sash? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh
I. I see why they did this.
Kristi
Yeah. I see Miyake is, you know, a Japanese designer who was working with Steve Jobs. And I can definitely see it looks.
Bob
It reminds me of. What's his name? A Borat's swimsuit.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
I mean, kind of for your phone.
Bob
You've nailed it.
Kelly
It's knit.
Prime Video Announcer
Yeah.
Kristi
Okay.
Josh
This is not for me. I would never pay that price point.
Kelly
No.
Bob
That's ridiculous.
Josh
But for.
Bob
Literally, it's a sash for 230 bucks.
Kelly
So there's a crossbody. That's the one. That's 230 bucks.
Kristi
Both of them are cross bodies. One's just short and one's really long.
Prime Video Announcer
Okay.
Kristi
Yeah. You can get it in two different versions.
Josh
The price point's crazy.
Bob
The other color is. It's made out of a Crown Royal bag.
Tom
They will be.
Kelly
I can knit that.
Tom
Those will not be available. You won't be able to find it in a week.
Kristi
And there's. You can only buy them in one store in the United States starting Friday. That is in SoHo, and they're available online starting on Friday.
Josh
This is one of those things. I think this is an international play. This is not A.
Bob
You're 100% right. It looks like a banana hammock for your phone. It's. It's embarrassing.
Kristi
So mad about this.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
Yeah.
Kristi
I'm going to buy one just to piss him.
Tom
I am going to get. I'm going to get six.
Kristi
Let's get them for Christmas. What color do you want?
Bob
How about a set? I don't know which one. Which one's the most flammable?
Kelly
Yeah. How Many are you buying for Christmas?
Kristi
Yeah.
Bob
Zero. No, this is ridiculous.
Josh
What? You know what I do like about it is this is an Etsy play. 100%. This is. There are people who can just make their own.
Kelly
That's what he said.
Josh
And sell these for $40. I mean, their margins could still be amazing.
Kelly
Oh, it's a paracord.
Kristi
It's. Yeah. It's a lot heavier than just a knit.
Josh
Yeah, but what I. You could. But you could sell these to.
Bob
Right?
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
When I heard Apple says it's quote inspired by a piece of cloth, didn't she just want to have diarrhea on the face? Oh, that means Steve Jobs grave.
Josh
I mean, that means nothing. Yeah, that means nothing.
Kristi
I'm buying.
Josh
React inspired by a piece of cloth means nothing.
Bob
This is the Emperor's new clothes if ever there was one. But you're right, it'll be all over Europe and Japan.
Kristi
3D knitted construction is how they call it.
Prime Video Announcer
Yeah.
Josh
What is that?
Tom
These will be on online. You could buy one for fifteen hundred dollars in a week.
Josh
Oh, you're saying black market.
Tom
Yeah. They'll buy them all up.
Kristi
And I think I'm going to buy one of these. I'm going to buy the tan one. They'll go with everything.
Josh
Apple, you got yourself a customer.
Tom
There you go.
Bob
You're going to wear one of these. Maybe.
Josh
How do you.
Kristi
Just to piss you off.
Kelly
No, I think that's worth 150.
Bob
Wearing a fashion accessory that says, I can't think for myself. I do it, I jump off the cliff with the rest the lemmings. Fine.
Tom
You know, I tried. I. I think I speak on behalf of Christie. We both tried to think for ourselves here in the room and it's been squashed. Couple of times. And.
Josh
Tom, are you. You carry your phone in your shirt pocket Typically.
Bob
Yeah, usually. Or my back pocket. Back left.
Josh
Boy, that's. Those are two places I'd never carry my phone. That's interesting. I'm. A front pocket.
Tom
Quickly. I put it in the back pocket and then I.
Josh
But I'll.
Tom
Oh, I'm sitting on. I can't sit on it.
Josh
No, I don't trust myself.
Bob
It depends. Like this. This fleece has a place. It's perfect size with the zippers. Put the phone in there, zip it right up so it stays there. That's handy.
Josh
That is handy.
Bob
But I just. I don't know, I, I. You have absolutely nailed it. This thing's silly European and I know.
Tom
You don't care for therapy, but let's just Play a game here, Right?
Josh
What are you.
Tom
I think a therapist would ask you. What are you really mad about is what.
Josh
Is what.
Tom
Maybe we should take a look at.
Bob
Just their whole approach. This was designed.
Tom
The piece of clothing really is.
Bob
Yes. Acidic. It is so pretentious. Just saying for 230 bucks, you know, give the money to charity and put it in your pocket.
Prime Video Announcer
It's a little crazy.
Bob
The price is crazy.
Kristi
The simplicity of its design echoes what we practice at IC Miyake. The idea of leaving things less defined to allow for possibilities and personal interpretation.
Bob
What a bunch of crap.
Kristi
Oh, you know what you could do? You could start. You could put pins on it. You know.
Bob
You could ball it up, shove it up your ass and have your partner rip it out like a little.
Tom
Back to this, though. I tried to get away from it. Drives us right into the ditch again.
Kristi
Yeah, I know.
Bob
Don't have to fist me, Roman. We've got this tonight.
Kristi
Come on.
Josh
We have to.
Bob
Yeah. How many of these have already.
Kelly
There's still five minutes left of the break.
Josh
You know, we got to sit here. It's like an elephant took a dump in the center of the room. And we. We don't get the shovels for another eight minutes.
Bob
Yeah.
Kristi
Why don't you look up, do something so you get.
Tom
And you know.
Bob
You know when you got it just right.
Tom
It's when this becomes an issue. I guarantee he'll tell to ever anyone who's asking, he'll say, yeah, I don't know why chick said that. You wait and see.
Josh
Now, what's going to happen when your girls ask for these for Christmas?
Kelly
Exactly.
Kristi
Yeah, exactly.
Kelly
Kelly's gonna buy them.
Bob
No, no. They're gonna get a sharp lesson in. No.
Kristi
Finally.
Tom
Hang on a second. Hang on.
Josh
How do you spell that word?
Tom
They'll say, hang on a damn minute. What are you eating while you're.
Bob
Sorry. I'm not eating yogurt. Like you were the last old. I wasn't planning on talking.
Tom
Gonna fish your mouth if you don't.
Bob
I. I had a grape.
Kristi
A grape Talking. We're on the air.
Bob
Five minutes.
Josh
That's all I. Crap.
Bob
I was enjoying. Wait. I was enjoying you guys embracing this total emperor's new clothes scam. Clothes again.
Josh
I don't say it again. I don't embrace it. But I do get what they're trying to do here. It's not for me at all.
Bob
I. I totally agree with you.
Josh
I think it's.
Kelly
You know, slings exist. They're everywhere.
Bob
New York Metropolitan.
Kristi
A lot of people Have.
Bob
This is just New York Metropolitan Ramrod Lounge Village.
Tom
Which one of the Village People enjoying the aroma of the pile of elephant crap in the middle of the room?
Bob
Which one of the Village People gets this ripped out of his butt halfway through the YMCA song?
Josh
I don't think this is. They're not targeting gay men with.
Kristi
No, they're not.
Josh
Okay, now I get. Now I get what you're doing.
Bob
No. No, you don't.
Tom
See, maybe you and I should talk. Josh, I don't get what he's doing, okay?
Josh
This is my. This is just my life experience, all right? I get one of those things. One of these Apple phone slings, right? I wear it to Thanksgiving. My brothers are doing nothing but calling me gay. I mean, that would be what, Thanksgiving? Yeah.
Bob
So it's an unusual look. It's not gonna fly in the States, but.
Tom
Well, you know. You know what you need to get.
Bob
Mad at us about?
Kelly
There's a lot of young guys that wear slings.
Josh
Exactly. It's only because it's different generationally.
Kelly
Right.
Tom
Because you're.
Bob
They make excellent cappuccino.
Tom
Your daughters are going to want this, and you're going to get mad at them and just get mad at us instead.
Josh
You know, there's a chance a couple of your sons want that.
Bob
I doubt it, but it is possible I could see one of them.
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
Yeah.
Kristi
If that pissed you off. What about this? Tyra Banks is launching what she calls hot ice cream.
Bob
What an idiot.
Kelly
You're not wrong.
Bob
Hot ice cream. I know how to make that. You make it. You take a bowl of ice cream and then you go take a break and you come back an hour later and you've got liquid ice cream.
Kristi
Or you put it in the microwave. According to cnn, the former supermodel turned entrepreneur is releasing the new item through her ice cream company, Smize and Dream.
Bob
It's called Smize, Dream and Bankruptcy.
Kristi
Banks explain the new treat in a social media post saying, not a latte, not a hot chocolate, but your favorite scoops transformed into liquid hot ice cream. Sippable, baby. It'll debut in America sometime this winter.
Josh
Okay.
Tom
Well, I can't wait not to have one.
Bob
What happened to the future? I thought we were gonna have flying cars. Now we have cold coffee and hot ice cream. What is wrong with the world?
Tom
What happened to Dippin Dots? It was the ice cream of the future, and it's still out there being the ice cream of the future.
Bob
I always get Dippin Dots.
Kristi
I never Dippin Dots.
Josh
To me, the ice cream of the Future is also the ice cream of the past. They nailed it a hundred years ago.
Prime Video Announcer
They did indeed.
Tom
Here's the thing. But don't you think they serve dippin dots at the Ramrod Lounge while they have their sl. And they're.
Bob
Oh, no, they don't. It's. I'm sure they really.
Tom
It's a manly dipping. Dots are.
Josh
I don't know. They're pretty pastel if I remember.
Tom
They rather better watch it.
Bob
I don't discriminate. I enjoy some pastel.
Josh
All you do is discriminate.
Bob
Discriminate. I was trying to find a picture of the so called hot ice cream. This is interesting though. You warm it up by shredding money and setting it on fire. Good luck, Tyra.
Tom
I didn't know Tyra was still out there doing anything.
Bob
Well, if this is her. If hot ice cream is what she thinks is the future. We'll see you.
Kelly
Yeah.
Josh
Were you guys ever warm milk people?
Kristi
No.
Josh
No.
Kelly
Big time.
Josh
Okay.
Bob
Still.

Well, for you know, like toddlers. Sugar.
Josh
Milk.
Prime Video Announcer
Right.

Yeah.
Josh
Wow.
Tom
Okay, wait a minute.
Josh
Was it like a treat? Yeah.
Kelly
My mom used to put coffee creamer in my kids milk when they were over there. They called it special milk.
Bob
Yeah, the sweet milk is great. I mean terrible. But it's wonderful to calm them down.
Josh
Okay.
Kristi
Sugar.
Kelly
I think it's the opposite.
Bob
Yeah. All this anti sugar stuff, that's. It's some communist lobby. A sugar is good for you.
Kristi
Well, you.
Josh
Oh, that's a really interesting take.
Kristi
Really love the side of things that.
Bob
Flies in the face of science. Hey, look, if it weren't for sugar, this great country of ours would be. It'd be dark and the lights would be out.
Josh
I agree it has helped capitalism, but boy.

Yeah, that whole white powder thing. We stay away from all white powder.

Episode: B&T Extra: Thanksgiving Side Dishes & an iPhone Sling
Date: December 16, 2025
Host: The BOB & TOM Show | Cumulus Podcast Network
This Bob & Tom Extra episode blends the cast’s signature comedic banter with topical discussion, covering the perennial Thanksgiving debate over best and worst side dishes, a round of quips about Apple’s controversial new iPhone carrying sling, and a quick take on Tyra Banks’ “hot ice cream” invention. The episode’s tone is irreverent and sardonic, with cast members riffing on consumerism and culinary nostalgia.

Tyra Banks’ “Hot Ice Cream”:
Memorable Quote:
[15:00–16:00]
The episode’s core is razor-sharp group chemistry and trenchant wit, with Bob frequently playing the curmudgeon and Kristi, Josh, Kelly, and Tom rotating between teasing, defending, and satirizing consumer and culinary trends. Listeners are treated to nostalgic food memories, mockery of luxury tech accessories, and pointed (if tongue-in-cheek) social commentary.
If you enjoy off-the-cuff humor, affectionate ribbing about holiday traditions, and incisive (if unserious) rants about tech and fads, this episode delivers in spades.
