Dean
Push that right out.
Tom
You're about to get a very hot, very hot decaf iced tea enema.
Josh Arnold
Chrissy Lee at the.
Dean
Hi. Maybe that's why you have a headache. You need some caffeine.
Tom
I. I don't know what it is.

Chick McGee
Oh, we got letters.
Tom
What do you got over there?
Josh Arnold
That's a great question.
Tom
Oh, I got one.
Josh Arnold
Dear Bob and Tom Show. Tom was talking about hot dogs, and the subject came up about more fast food places selling them. Could you imagine pulling up to McDonald's and ordering a McQueen or.
Tom
I think it's a fair question.
Josh Arnold
Keep a straight face.
Tom
Like I said, I had a great hot dog.
Dean
People eat hot dogs every day.
Tom
I know, but I'm.
Josh Arnold
This is the second day we've gone Over. We're not doing how great that hot dog was. This is day two.
Dean
If you were allowed to eat real food, you wouldn't be like that. This every day.
Josh Arnold
I see no end in sight.
Tom
You even chick, you said the hot dog is the perfect food to eat in the car.
Josh Arnold
Yes, I did, yesterday.
Tom
It's the perfect food at a stadium.
Chick McGee
It is a great stadium food.
Tom
But why? I just don't understand why McDonald's and Burger King and Arby's don't have hot dogs.
Chick McGee
What do you want? I'm kind of glad they don't. I'm glad they don't.
Josh Arnold
You think there's some sort of restaurant formula that.
Tom
I don't know.
Chick McGee
If a stadium dog were available everywhere and loses its.
Tom
Maybe. Okay, yeah. I don't know, but. Because weren't you saying that you were part of a McDonald's in your. In St. Louis at one point did some kind of experiment that apparently failed and they didn't put it on the market?
Chick McGee
No, they. It was a massive success in St. Louis. Massive.
Christopher
What was it?
Chick McGee
Worst bratwurst. And they did it like two or three years in a row. And it was seasonal like the McRib and you could get one bratwurst or two with the value meal and they were delicious. And I think it was in conjunction with Johnsonville if I remember correctly. But yeah, I guess. But they did that didn't make it nationwide.
Tom
Did you ever see that pornos called Johnsonville?
Chick McGee
I haven't. Yeah, but I am aware of it.
Tom
There's only one woman in it.
Chick McGee
That poor thing. Well, she was mayor. Right. So she got the juice.
Tom
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go down vulgar road. I have a headache. Forgive me for everything. I do.
Columbia Ad Voice
Man.
Chick McGee
We're getting up to brat season, aren't we?
Tom
Yes.
Chick McGee
You know, I once tried making brats in the winter on my George Foreman grill.
Dean
Oh, and pretty much smashed him, didn't it?
Chick McGee
No, but I mopped for about an hour. I forgot how. Much better.
Columbia Ad Voice
Yeah,
Chick McGee
yeah, they were delicious, but.
Tom
Dear Bob and Tom show As a kid, I lived in a small farm town. We were a few blocks from downtown, so we walked everywhere. My father walked to work, we walked to school, we all walked to church. Our car was usually only driven on Sunday to visit family. Occasionally, since it was driven so infrequently, my father would take it out in a country straightaway and floor it. He said, quote, this blows out the cobwebs in the motor.
Dean
Yeah.
Tom
Any truth to this?
Dean
I've always Heard that.
Tom
Did you guys ever hear those words from your dad when you were a kid? Thanks, Dan. I don't know.
Chick McGee
I'd hear blow the cobwebs out of anything that hadn't been used in a while, Right?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom
So that means on the way home today, I should.
Dean
Your car gets used all the time
Josh Arnold
and you speed a lot more than you want to let on.
Tom
Ah, blow the cobwebs down.
Dean
My daughter's car in Chicago has been sitting for months because she doesn't use it. And we did that over the weekend. Took it out, got the tires, you know, aired up and blew the cobwebs out.
Tom
Yeah. My son's car in Chicago was stolen.
Dean
Yeah. Don't say that out loud.
Columbia Ad Voice
Okay.
Dean
Sorry.
Tom
And that's. That's a nightmare, by the way. Try living through that. I'm sorry, Chick. Back to you.
Josh Arnold
Dear Bob and Tom Show. This is Jordan from Fresno. We have a wonderful chain here called Wiener Schnitzel.
Tom
Tom, another one.
Josh Arnold
It's very simple. They're famous for their hot dogs, chili dogs and chili cheese dogs.
Chick McGee
Yum.
Tom
And you don't need a chili dog in a moving car, though.
Josh Arnold
And they're chili cheese fries.
Chick McGee
That's not easy.
Josh Arnold
You can also get hamburgers and cheeseburgers. And chili cheeseburgers. You can even get a chili cheese fried burrito.
Chick McGee
Oh, my gosh.
Dean
There used to be dog and suds. Remember that? Hot dog and root beer.
Josh Arnold
I like dog and suds.
Dean
Yeah.
Chick McGee
At A W. Didn't they have. Did they have hot dogs?
Dean
I believe so.
Chick McGee
I think they did.
Dean
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
The hot dogs are Wiener schnitzel don't come in foil. They come in their parchment paper.
Tom
I think the foil is the whole secret to the great stadium hot dog. I'm telling you, Jordan, matter of physics.
Josh Arnold
If you leave them in the parchment paper for a little bit and you pull off from the drive through, they're just as good as the stadium dog. He says, wow, just as good.
Tom
I go to a bagel place and they steam the bagels. That's. That's. It's. Maybe it's amazing.
Josh Arnold
Maybe steaming is the way to go for you.
Dean
Just get a steamer. You know, you can get those on your counter.
Tom
The Stanley folks make them. I've seen their trucks.
Josh Arnold
Why don't you get a clothes steamer and then take the wand and just go over your hot dog. Steam is steam for you before you have a bite.
Tom
You know what I saw yesterday? What's the difference?
Dean
What did you see yesterday?
Tom
Do you dry your jeans in the dryer.
Dean
I do.
Tom
Yeah. Because I do too. But it's. If you read this, read the label on them, it says you're not supposed to, which is. But anyway, the point is these. How do I describe them? It's like a rack. They showed if you put your jeans in it. And it has like metal wires that are in the shape of pant legs.
Dean
Oh. So that you can dry your jeans.
Josh Arnold
How does that fit into a dryer?
Chick McGee
No, no, you don't dry them fresh out of the washer.
Tom
It's a hanger with two giant pant legs.
Dean
And you bought one?
Tom
No, no. I thought it looks ridiculous, but I mean, I guess, I mean, my jeans, I just put them in the dryer. They're fine. I don't have to iron them. Have you ever seen those?
Dean
I have not.
Tom
I don't know who that's for.
Dean
There are a lot of cool laundry gadgets, though, that are interesting. If you follow on my Instagram, they're always like laundry gadgets that you need.
Tom
Oh, the best one, someone. I wish I had the name that they sent me those. What are they called? Llama balls.
Dean
Yeah, I gave you llama balls. I gave them to you.
Tom
No, but I also had some sent to me from Washington state or something. Yeah, what are they called?
Josh Arnold
Oh, you get the llama balls from Washington, huh?
Dean
They're llama.
Tom
They're the size of a softball. And you put them in your laundry
Chick McGee
and you put them in balls.
Tom
Now, speaking of balls, yesterday was a big day for balls on this show.
Dean
It was a big night for Christie too, because I had a huge meatball for dinner. It was like this. This big.
Tom
Wow.
Josh Arnold
So how long does it take you
Dean
to eat a. Oh, I only ate a quarter of it, but it was huge.
Tom
Yesterday on the show, we learned of
Josh Arnold
something new curtain on that meatball in
Tom
the world of plastic surgery called ball maxing. And I got a little bit more data on it, in case you were wondering. Ball maxing. And I apologize for reading the sentence, Josh, because I know how much it annoyed you. This is the first sentence of this story from Vice. The latest niche trend taking over the quote unquote manosphere is ball maxing. And this is about using IVs and putting inserting fluid into the sacrifice to inflate the scrotum. Now, it seems to me to be completely ridiculous, but I. I found another article about the same thing and it says a 57 year old man by the name of Marcus told Men's Health magazine he's been obsessed with making his balls bigger for decades.
Chick McGee
Sheesh.
Tom
It's 57. Wouldn't you be old enough to know better?
Dean
Maybe he likes it.
Tom
But here's the weird thing. He goes. It's a passion that grew out of the comic books he'd read as a child.
Unidentified Male 1
What?
Tom
How the hell does that work?
Unidentified Male 1
Yeah.
Dean
What comic book?
Tom
Yeah. Was there a. Did Superman have a bulge? I don't know about?
Josh Arnold
I. I don't think so.
Chick McGee
No. I mean, they all had the COD pieces, but that's not.
Tom
Yeah, but they're not.
Josh Arnold
They went to great lengths to hide Adam West.
Chick McGee
He's trying to make a natural COD piece.
Josh Arnold
When he was Batman. They had a heck of a time.
Chick McGee
Mr. Wrestling. Nothing.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom
Mr. Marcus says his scrotum is larger than a mango with a circumference of 14.5 inches.
Chick McGee
Seems a little unwieldy.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Dean
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
None of his pants fit.
Tom
Boy, again. And then, according to this other article, there is a subreddit that has 8, 700 followers where members share photos of their overly enlarged scrotums. Okay, what did these people do before the Internet? Did you just.
Chick McGee
You.
Tom
Did you walk down the street and going, psst. And try to find somebody.
Dean
My balls. What do you do?
Chick McGee
They're pretty big.
Columbia Ad Voice
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I'm not kidding.
Tom
Was there some kind of code in the classified ads?
Dean
Maybe in those, you know, regional papers? Maybe there was.
Tom
Okay, you can find your people now
Chick McGee
in the back of the Penny Saver.
Tom
Is there a similar attraction for the large front? Naughty. For the ladies? Is there?
Dean
Oh, sure, I'm sure.
Chick McGee
You mean puffiness. Yeah, I mean, they actually have puffer there.
Josh Arnold
There.
Columbia Ad Voice
Tools.
Josh Arnold
There's puffiness. There's.
Tom
Is there a. Do they get injections and stuff for that?
Chick McGee
Maybe, but. Oh, you know, we did talk about how there were some.
Josh Arnold
Why.
Chick McGee
But it was more of like a.
Dean
It was.
Chick McGee
It was almost a meta. There was a reason that they got it.
Pepsi Ad Voice
Yeah.
Dean
Puffy or they got unpuffied.
Chick McGee
Puffied it.
Tom
I know that for men. There was also Scrotox, which was Botox to get rid of the wrinkles.
Chick McGee
Right.
Dean
If you're worrying about that.
Tom
Yeah, no kidding.
Chick McGee
There's enough to worry about.
Dean
Life. My God, the sack model.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, you know, go ahead, laugh. I made millions of dollars. Dear Bob and Tom, show beautiful side.
Tom
This comes to us from New Lisbon, Wisconsin.
Chick McGee
Their sexuality has nothing to do with. And whether or not they're brand new or they've been a Lisbon for a while.
Josh Arnold
Love is love.
Tom
From a former art teacher. You were talking about things made in shop class. And pottery class.
Chick McGee
Oh, former art teacher. This person's been a Lisbon for a while.
Tom
I had a project called Helping Hands for a sculpture class.
Josh Arnold
Just dripping.
Tom
The students made plaster castings of their hands in different positions and used them for sculptures. That's really interesting.
Josh Arnold
Uh huh. However you see me in this class, just shoot me.
Tom
One student made the so called shocker hand cast. I appreciated his creativity. I had to fail him for inappropriate content.
Josh Arnold
Ah, come on.
Christopher
Really?
Tom
Well then, that's the shocker. Do you want to explain that?
Josh Arnold
No.
Dean
No.
Tom
Okay.
Dean
People want to know. They'll find out for themselves.
Columbia Ad Voice
Okay.
Tom
All right.
Josh Arnold
We were talking about dogs playing poker yesterday. This is from Pat and Jackie. Good morning, you wonderful people. We live in Crandall, Wisconsin. Today's Wisconsin day. It's weird how we go in streaks. This is our lab, Tilly. And she loves to play cards.
Chick McGee
Oh, she sure does.
Josh Arnold
There she is. She's at the table. She's got her paw on a card. She wants another card.
Dean
So cute.
Josh Arnold
She's a good baby.
Tom
Yesterday I pointed out many of you have seen the. The dogs playing poker. But have you seen the cat playing solitaire? Kind of says it all really, about cats. I'd much rather be by myself.
Josh Arnold
By the way, my Aussie today. Happy birthday, Josephine. She's 4.
Dean
Oh, today. Happy birthday, baby.
Josh Arnold
That's 28 in people years.
Dean
Ready for another dog, aren't you?
Josh Arnold
I've got puppy fever so bad.
Chick McGee
What a sweetie.
Dean
Really?
Josh Arnold
28 cars. I saw golden in a car Saturday morning and he was like he wasn't a year old. Hanging out. Hanging out the window.
Chick McGee
I love when they're that age because they're sort of ungainly.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Even more clumsy. It's the best.
Christopher

Episode: B&T Extra: Tom has a Headache, Letters, & Hot Dogs
Date: June 18, 2026
Host: The BOB & TOM Show
This B&T Extra dives into classic Bob & Tom territory: quirky listener letters, playful banter over headaches and hot dogs, jokes, and a surprisingly detailed detour into “ball maxing” and oddball inventions. The team welcomes an array of listener emails, reminisces about fast-food hot dogs, explores odd laundry gadgets, and riffs on recent show moments. The tone remains irreverent, fast-paced, and loaded with the signature comic riffing that defines the show.
Tom (05:50): "You're about to get a very hot, very hot decaf iced tea enema."
Light, sarcastic, and self-deprecating, typical of the show’s style.
Chick McGee (07:44): “Worst bratwurst...seasonal like the McRib...you could get one bratwurst or two with the value meal and they were delicious.”
Tom (12:25): "Oh, the best one, someone...sent me those...what are they called? Llama balls." Dean (12:27): "Yeah, I gave you llama balls. I gave them to you."
Tom (13:46): "A 57 year old man by the name of Marcus told Men's Health magazine he's been obsessed with making his balls bigger for decades."
Chick McGee (14:28): “Seems a little unwieldy.”
Tom (14:50): "Did you walk down the street and go, 'psst,' and try to find somebody?"
Irreverent and unfiltered, with laughs about obscure internet subcultures.
Tom (17:37): “...many of you have seen the dogs playing poker. But have you seen the cat playing solitaire? Kind of says it all really, about cats. I’d much rather be by myself.”
