So let's go right to our phone, shall we? Hello, you're on the air with Mr. Obvious. Hello, is this Mr. Obvious? Yes, it is. Caller, go ahead with your question. Hey, Mr. Obvious. Long time listener, their first time caller. I'm calling now because my girlfriend did something that kind of hurt my feelings and I don't know what to do about it. Well, how long have you known your girlfriend, caller? I'd say about a month or so. Although I gotta tell you, it feels like I have known her my whole life. Well, I can hear it in your voice. You care about this girl. What exactly did she do to hurt your feelings? Well, it's a little awkward to talk about, Mr. O. It's something that happened in the bedroom. Well, I don't mean to pry, but if I'm going to help, I need to know a little bit more. How have things been with you two in the intimacy department up till now? Well, it's been great, Mr. Obvious. She's probably the most exciting woman I've ever met. Really open and adventurous. And I ain't bragging, but she's told me over and over that I am the best lover she's ever had. Wow. I mean, I just feel like we got this real powerful sexual chemistry. So what has she done to hurt your feelings? Well, just out of the blue, last week she suddenly raised her prices. I mean, I thought everything was great between us. I mean, we like the same things. We talk very easily. Wait a minute. Call her back up. She's. She raised her prices for what? Oh, for sex. For sex. I mean, she was charging me $75, right? Well, now she raised it up to 100. What do you think that means, Mr. Obvious? Well, I think it means you're seeing a hooker. She's not your girlfriend at all. She's a call girl, an escort, a soiled dove, a hoe, a mattress pounder, a flat backer. Prostitute. Mr. Obvious. I'm not following you, Flatbacker. What are you trying to say? I mean, don't beat around the tell me. I'm saying your so called girlfriend is a woman who takes money in exchange for sex. That's what's known as a hooker, you rube. Yeah, I understand. She. She takes money for sex, but I'm. I'm not following you. Of course not. Are you. Are you saying that there's women out there who'll just have sex with you for free? Yeah. That's not too likely, Mr. Obvious. Just give it away for free. Probably rode over there on your unicorn and talked to Santa Clau. I'd like to find me one of them women that just has sex for no cash money, right? No, all I'm saying is that you don't have a relationship, you have a business arrangement. And I'm not here to judge you, but that's what it is. It's sex for money. Well, you're saying that Amber ain't my girlfriend, she's really a hooker? Yeah, that's right. Huh. Never made a connection. I guess the rate change isn't personal after all. Business is business. I guess she's just doing business. Wait, wait a minute. You say the woman's name is Amber? Yeah. What does, what does Amber look like? Oh, she is beautiful, Mr. O. Long blonde hair, kind of slender, but with big breasts, you know, lots of makeup and, oh, she's got the cutest little tattoo of a butterfly down on her ankle. But then she's got one of Yosemite Sam on her left shoulder. That's right. You met Amber? No. No. You've been seeing Amber for about a month now. Yeah, about a month or so. Every Thursday, 7:00 o' clock sharp. 7:00'? Clock? But I'm 7:30. What's the matter, Mr. O? You sound like you don't feel so good. Queasy. Oh, well, listen, listen, if you ain't feeling good, I'm gonna let you get off the phone and take some medicine or something. But I really appreciate your help. At least I know now that Amber ain't trying to push me away with her higher prices. Thanks, Mr. O.B. you're. You're a lifesaver. Tune in again next week. Oh, hey, Mr. Obvious. I'm sorry, I. I hate to try to get sloppy seconds in here. We're out of time. Is tipping appropriate? Maybe next week. I gotta go reschedule an appointment. Join us again next time for the Mr. Obvious Show. We're just waiting for the cast to actually show up for work. Here's more Bob and Tom extra. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. At the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Chr. Christy Lee. There's Willie Griswold, Josh Arnold, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. And that's of course the Black Mood. This is the Black Mood. Suite number three. Oh, sweet is spelled S W E E T. Yeah, yeah, went with it. Music is great. Chico wrote this. Now we're. We should explain that they're around the corner in the other. Yes. So I kind of feel like we're taking a break. The band start just started playing again and we gotta finish up and get back over there. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah, yeah. Man, I wish this line would hurry up and I could get my beer and go back to the age. Yeah, yeah. But we have determined it's a. It's beer time somewhere. Yep. Oh yeah. Beer 30. Okay, we're gonna get Friday. Let's go. We'll get other song out of these guys in a matter of moments. Tom, you want me to shotgun a beer here live in the studio somewhere. Do we have any beer? Do we have a beer? We do. I can go to place. It's five minutes away. Yeah, let's. Let's just talk to the band for just a second. All right, thank you very much, fellas. The Black Moods currently out there on tour. And now I. I have to mention this. It's. It's a three piece, of course. And the king of cool is on the drums. That's Chico. Chico Diaz. I mentioned that because, Chico, as you. As you probably know, you've known me for a while. I am working on trying to be cool. Yeah. And it's not working. Really. I mean, you're getting close, bro. You think you can gather up the bush like Chico does? That what you think? Is that what the kids are calling it? That's actually. That's not a goatee on his chin. He had some blue there last night. He spilled more. But look how cool. I mean, is such a cool looking guy. Yeah, that's cool, man. You look cool in your own. You're doing your own thing. In his own time. You're very much yourself. Okay, yeah. Kind of like you do Tom, but this is in a cool way. Yeah, okay, but see, now, for example, Josh Kennedy on the guitar and the lead vocals has his own look. He can pull off the bell bottom pants. Wait a minute. I'm sure he likes to pull them off right after showtime. Yes, yes. No, but you know what I'm saying. How many guys wear bell bottoms? You could wear them. You wore them back in the day. Why not wear them now? Can I see pictures of that? Yeah. Well, first of all, they're in black and white. I'd like to see pictures too. You need a special viewer. Tommy used to have hair down to a lot like yours, Josh. Where is that? One of the albums has you don't hassle me man. Hair in New York City. New York City, doing your. Wow. There's a picture of you with long hair smoking a cigarette somewhere and growing up. I Look, who is this cool man? Who is this cool guy and what the hell happened to him? Well, that. That building was demolished and this. This was erected in its place. This is what you've got. Okay, Sorry. Chico's on the drums. I'm sorry. Comedian Chris Porter will wear bell bottoms. Oh, he's one of my favorites. You can find him everywhere now. Yeah, they're in. You can find them everywhere. Cuz no one was buying them. They're on sale. No, you don't listen to him. Do you really think you know what fashion is? Yeah. Is that what you're trying to tell everybody? In a kind of preppy way? I guess. But as long as they sell it to Brooks Brothers. But Other than that. Come on. This is like a British producer talking to, like, a rock star. Just like you boys don't look good in your. Your boots out there. You should wear polo shirts. And it's. It's not. It's not the same thing. Right. Remember when The Dave Clark 5 would all wear the suits? Remember when Dave Clark simply don't. I barely know what that sentence means. I have no idea. They were a very, very underrated band. Once again, your memories aren't. Okay. Okay, now we have Josh Kennedy on the guitar. As I mentioned. Josh, what is your favorite song that would be considered really uncool? You know what? I just listened to it came across. I was like, alexa, play Neil Diamond. And it what was like, what's the jean song that he has forever in blue jeans? Oh, my God, Such a good song. Money Talks. Yeah. And it wound up playing it and I was like, alexa, play that song again. Yeah, I played it like six times. And like a bottle of tequila later, I was like, yeah. This song is amazing. Hey, Josh. Josh, get in the program. Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy. We love you, Betty. Betty Ford's a good guitar player in there. I think a lot of Neil stuff is. Is genuinely cool. Cherry, Cherry, Cherry. Hey. I listen to all that stuff, but I was like, that's the one. And listened to it. I was like, holy. You know. Yeah, yeah, there was a cool shot. I think it was two or three weeks ago. They were doing the. He was at a play, wasn't he? Or. No, it was. I think it was at Wrigley. I mean. Excuse me. It was. Maybe it was in Boston at Fenway. And I think that is that. Am I right about this? It was a play. Oh, it was a play. Because I just saw a close up of him and leading. Kind of leading people singing the dot dot every bar ever after 1:00am yeah, yeah, yeah, It's. Yeah, they've ruined it. Yeah, yeah. But it's still good song. Yeah, I still kind of like it. I saw the Offspring last weekend and after the show, they. That that was their. As the crowd was leaving song. So everybody was happy and didn't bother. Vibes. Yeah, it was good vibes. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah. Now the other Josh. Josh Arnold. What is your dorkiest song that you love? I love. I. I have a ton of what would be considered dorky songs on my. Maybe all that she Wants by Ace of Bass. Yeah, I love that. What else? I have. I have. Oh. Oh, that she was another baby. Yeah. It's very Weird. He does that during. They were the ABBA. Yeah. They were the ABBA of the 90s. Ace of bass. They were the ABBA of THE 90s. That's genius. Yeah, I saw the time. Yes. Willie, do you have anything that would you considered really? I mean, people considered dorky? Different generation. There's a song I just want you to know by the Backstreet Boys is genuinely a terrific song. It's like a really good, like just song, song, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge. That kid Mason Ramsey, that kid that got yodeling in Walmart. Yeah. I like two of his records. Like, not even just like. There's one single that I like. You Deep Dive. I will put those records on. Not bad. It's like Hank Williams covers. Oh, no, that's good. Well, for me. Yeah, it's good for me. Tom. It begins and ends with double and the Captain of Her Heart. Dude, I forgot this. I love this damn song. I do too. The captain of her heart it is. That's my favorite version. This is great. Another day, the Cacti Heart. We're bonding in here. This is why I wish they still had the K tel those K tail collections. I don't know if you remember those. Josh Kennedy. They would. We're putting them all together. It would be songs you were embarrassed to tell your friends you liked. I like this. Like, this collection. Yeah, that's a great one. That's a great. I liked I'll go way back. One, two, three. Red light. What? Ohio players. Or was that 1910 Ohio Express? Something like that. I forget. I think it is the Fruit Gum Company. Yeah. There's a great interview with the musician. Don was. Oh, I love Don. Bob Leftsetz has a great interview with him. And he's a great musician, obviously, but he's real cool. Talking about songs that everybody else would think are dorky and, you know, this is a great song. Give it a listen. I bet. Was not. Was Walk the Dinosaur is considered dorky by some, but I think it's great. That's a great song. Yeah. We met him.
