Carrollton, Texas studio comedian Doug Stanhope. I wanted to talk about something fairly mundane actually with Doug. You hate baseball, am I correct?
Lonzo Ball
Baseball players, always. They just, they look like cops so.
Doug Stanhope
Much.
Lonzo Ball
No, they're so joyous. But no, you watch, you watch any other sport and they're happy and they're pumping up the crowd. They're high fiving. And baseball guys, they just look so joyless and smug and they just sit there in the dugout and they look like cops. You know how you know someone gets pulled over? They have no registration and you need nine officers and they all stand around with their arms crossed, self important looking no joy in their face.
Doug Stanhope
So what do you do during win? Because I can take you long.
Lonzo Ball
I mean I'll bet on baseball because I think that's the only reason people watch it is because it's the only thing on in the summer. I hate to. I hate the Yankees. That's the only reason I watch baseball is to hope the Yankees lose.
Pat Godwin
And that's.
Lonzo Ball
I guess that's probably a miserable. Just because they buy their team and their fans are so obnoxious. Like, if you're going to just be cheering in the stands, pick an underdog and have some character. If you have money on the game, it's different. That's like having stock in a company. Yeah, but if you're just going to be a loudmouth, you know, beer fueled ass bag in the stands, pick the underdog. Rooting for the Yankees is like going to a casino and cheering for the house supposed to win. You're standing behind the blackjack table going, oh, dealer busted your ass, bitch. Oh, that's my dealer. I got my dealer jersey on.
Christopher
For those of you who always need something extra.
Doug Stanhope
Well, here you go.
Christy Lee
This is Bob and Tom.
Doug Stanhope
Extra.
Christy Lee
Christy.
Jess Hooker
What?
Christy Lee
You just spent some time with Tom in the break room.
Starbucks Advertiser
Huh?
Christy Lee
Can you tell us what happened to Tom while he was in the break room?
Jess Hooker
He apparently threw the lid of his coffee cup into the trash.
Christy Lee
Right.
Jess Hooker
And had to stick his arm down into the trash through the little.
Doug Stanhope
I'm cleaning my arm off.
Jess Hooker
There's a top on our trash can.
Christy Lee
It's a. It's a flap.
Doug Stanhope
I hate that.
Starbucks Advertiser
Then take it off.
Doug Stanhope
You ever tried throwing, ever tried throwing, ever tried throwing away a garbage can?
Starbucks Advertiser
No, but you don't. That's the thing is that you think that that's the only way to access the trash. I lifted the lid off the other day. He goes, you can do that? And I was like, yeah, you sure can.
Doug Stanhope
Sorry.
Jess Hooker
Stuck his arm all the way down in there and inched kind of.
Doug Stanhope
It got stuck.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it got stuck.
Doug Stanhope
So now I had to go change shirts. Oh, I'm cleaning my arm off now.
Christy Lee
Because you did go change shirts.
Doug Stanhope
I did.
Starbucks Advertiser
You did.
Jess Hooker
He did.
Starbucks Advertiser
Went from navy to black.
Christy Lee
Oh, my God.
Pat Godwin
I like to think that you immediately started making a video of you, like in 127 hours, my family, my arm is stuck in the dragon.
Christy Lee
How much. You know, I love all of you.
Doug Stanhope
So I can throw away that flapper thing.
Starbucks Advertiser
You can do whatever you want because.
Doug Stanhope
Then all the garbage gets caught in the flap and then you touch it and you got to go wash your hands every time.
Starbucks Advertiser
You are the only person that happens.
Doug Stanhope
Of course, you could have been videotaped with some of that stuck pork, you know.
Christy Lee
Oh, you're bent over stuck in a trash. Hey, hold still, Tom.
Doug Stanhope
Okay, yeah, good point. I'm Sorry, is it 110 degrees in here.
Christy Lee
There's. There's Pat Godwin.
Jess Hooker
I had to put on deodorant during the break.
Christy Lee
Jess Hooker's here.
Doug Stanhope
Thank God.
Jess Hooker
This morning.
Doug Stanhope
We'Ve been talking about a music that is charting because of the fun song from Jack Black that is very short. It's actually made the Billboard charts. It's from the movie that you saw, Pat. The Minecraft. The Minecraft scared me for a second. I'm gonna go see it this. This weekend. Well, I got to thinking because when I was reading that list of short songs that have been number one, and one of them was the great song the Letter by the Box Tops. And then I got thinking about Give.
Pat Godwin
Me a ticket for an Aeroplane.
Doug Stanhope
A lot of songs reference things that are really no longer in our culture. Oh. I mean, think about the number of songs that need a dime for a payphone.
Pat Godwin
Sure.
Doug Stanhope
First of all, if there were payphones, what would they be now? A buck, probably.
Pat Godwin
I mean, at least remember the 80s. You put a dime in the jukebox.
Doug Stanhope
Oh, yeah, yeah. A lot. A lot of songs of Jim Croce's Operator. There's no great song Operator.
Christy Lee
Things cost more now. Yeah.
Doug Stanhope
Oh, no, that's. I mean, you could. You can dismiss a topic that is interesting about contemporary culture because it doesn't involve the Washington football club.
Christy Lee
Hey, hey.
Doug Stanhope
No longer the Redskins. You see, times change.
Pat Godwin
You know what? Singers and songwriters never figured out what a wonderful love song about a fax machine.
Starbucks Advertiser
Okay.
Pat Godwin
Because you always. You have. You have plenty of songs about communicating via the phone.
Doug Stanhope
Sure.
Pat Godwin
Face to face. But there was a time when fax machines were pretty prevalent.
Doug Stanhope
Yep. Are you sure?
Pat Godwin
I'm not.
Starbucks Advertiser
Would you. Would someone send, like, a dirty fax?
Christy Lee
Oh, absolutely.
Pat Godwin
But even just an I love you fax.
Starbucks Advertiser
Oh, that's nice.
Christy Lee
I wonder how many people. How many different people Xerox their butt, in fact.
Doug Stanhope
And we had a story, this was ages ago, about a guy xeroxing his butt and breaking the glass.
Christy Lee
Oh. Oh, yeah. You're gonna have that.
Doug Stanhope
But the weight limit then. Now, Chick will know this one. During the. Was it the first Gulf War?
Christy Lee
I don't remember which one it was.
Doug Stanhope
But we would get a. Fact. We'd get about one every three minutes of the. The what? Camels Balls being hit with a hammer launching a missile.
Christy Lee
Scott. There. There's a defense system there.
Doug Stanhope
That was sort of the first version of the meme.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah.
Doug Stanhope
That would be, in today's world, a meme. But I mean, I'm trying to think, what was that there's a song that references video. Killed the radio Star references vcrs. So I wonder if there's a song that we'll have to. I'll find out.
Jess Hooker
There are songs about fax machines, but they're very.
Doug Stanhope
No hits. CeeLo silo green.
Pat Godwin
What was his.
Doug Stanhope
Facts?
Christy Lee
You.
Pat Godwin
Oh, yes. How did we forget that? Yeah, it was very popular.
Doug Stanhope
Roll with the changes. Reo mentions eight tracks.
Jess Hooker
There's a song by Beck called Fax Machine Anthem, but it doesn't really.
Pat Godwin
There's a chance it has nothing.
Christy Lee
It's never mentioned.
Starbucks Advertiser
Yeah, it's just the sound of a fax machine.
Jess Hooker
I don't know.
Christy Lee
One of his. He has a song called Rental Car and it's amazing.
Pat Godwin
Oh, wonderful. He's a genius.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, he is.
Doug Stanhope
Well, now, have we completed the sports broadcast?
Christy Lee
All hope is lost on this side of the room.
Doug Stanhope
Okay. Okay.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Doug Stanhope
Good to know. I thought maybe we could change the tone. We have a sweet story about vultures. Did I give you that, Christy?
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Doug Stanhope
Such a happy story. I think you'll like this very much because it involves one of my favorite things.
Pat Godwin
You know what a vulture's favorite song is? Carry On, My wayward son. Thank you, Jess.
Jess Hooker
You're welcome.
Pat Godwin
They eat Carry On. What? Which is roadkill.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Carrying. You've never heard that?
Jess Hooker
No.
Christy Lee

Christy Lee
Another word for roadkill is carrying.

Jess Hooker
Preschool. Is that how stupid we are?
Pat Godwin
Well, how about this?
Jess Hooker
The Bronx Zoo is raising its new vulture chick with the help of a hand puppet.
Christy Lee
Oh, I've seen this done. Yeah, they used to do with the. The baby condor.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, they're using a puppet crafted to look like a real vulture head.
Doug Stanhope
Isn't this sweet?
Jess Hooker
The recently hatched king vulture chick from imprinting on humans.
Pat Godwin
Are they feeding them? Carrying.
Christy Lee
Roadkill. Why did you say my name during that story?
Jess Hooker
Chick.
Christy Lee
What?
Jess Hooker
Vulture chick.
Christy Lee
Oh, a vulture chick. Okay.
Jess Hooker
Bronze. The Bronx Zoo, curator of ornithology. Hi, his name is.
Christy Lee
Welcome to the Bronx Zoo. On your left, there's an elephant. Enjoy.
Jess Hooker
He's missing because he's missing out. Chick. Because his name is Chuck. He could be a chick.
Christy Lee
Chuck could be a chick.
Pat Godwin
That's how I think he'd Be a good animal puppeteer.
Jess Hooker
Chuck Serbini is the guy's name.
Christy Lee
I always wanted to be a puppeteer.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
There he is.
Doug Stanhope
So it's this a crazy looking vulture head feeding the little.
Christy Lee
It's not a crazy. It's an accurate vulture head.
Doug Stanhope
Yeah, but vulture heads look weird.
Jess Hooker
An adult king vulture has been placed in an adjacent enclosure that allows the chick to have exposure to appropriate king vulture behavior.
Doug Stanhope
Do they have that. What's his name? Do they have Sam. Eagle on the side. Stop on the side going, I'm not your dad, you know.
Pat Godwin
You are all weirdo.
Doug Stanhope
I did not. I did not knock up your mom. It was this guy.
Christy Lee
I can't hear you over the Voice of Freedom.
Jess Hooker
And as we mentioned, I think Chick mentioned they did use this when they were bringing back the endangered California condor.
Pat Godwin
Was it successful? Did they end up doing that?
Christy Lee
Yeah, you know, condors.
Jess Hooker
Condors are doing well, Tom.
Christy Lee
They. They fly at the speed of sound.
Pat Godwin

Doug Stanhope
No, condor. On my way. Are you thinking of the Concord?
Christy Lee
Oh, is it Concord.
Doug Stanhope
The plane is the Concorde.
Christy Lee
I thought it was the condor.
Doug Stanhope
Well, I'm sure there's probably a plane called a condor at some point.
Christy Lee
Did you know Carry on was another word?
Doug Stanhope
Did not.
Pat Godwin
All right.
Jess Hooker
How do you spell that?
Pat Godwin
Very common knowledge.
Christy Lee
What kind of hillbilly school did you two go to?

Christy Lee

Pat Godwin
Yes.
Doug Stanhope
Now this vulture, do they call it. Is it called a chick?
Jess Hooker

Jess Hooker

Doug Stanhope
Yeah, that does sound like a band.
Pat Godwin
It sounds like a rad band.
Doug Stanhope
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Them dirty vultures.
Doug Stanhope
Right? Or it'd be the. It'd be the. The solo project of A woman they're interviewing on NPR who was in a band no one had ever heard of that was all women. And now she's that no one will ever listen to the new album Vulture Chick. Okay, now tell me.
Christy Lee
Crooked vultures.
Doug Stanhope
Now you've shaved your head, but you've grown out your bush. Explain why you're doing that.
Lonzo Ball
Yes, please tell me.
Christy Lee
And spend extra time on your bush, would you?
Doug Stanhope
Our NPR audience wants to know, no hair up there, but lots of hair down there. What does that mean exactly?
Pat Godwin
Now, you're female, but your bush identifies as male.
Doug Stanhope
Isn't that fascinating? You identify as smart, but I can tell you're not.
Pat Godwin
Let's see, what is that FRESH Air lunatic's name?
Doug Stanhope
Oh, Dave Davies is the best interviewer in the world.
Pat Godwin
Terry Gross.
Doug Stanhope
But Dave Davies is the greatest. He's wonderful.
Jess Hooker
Christine, all the Dave birds guess the state bird of Florida.
Pat Godwin

And I know the two of them are.
Doug Stanhope
We're having so much fighting now they're giggling. I'm sorry. Christy Lee is at the the Silac Insurance News. What have you got?

If you want to guess the state bird of Florida, we have flamingo. We have. What do we have?
Christy Lee
Seagull.
Jess Hooker
Aaron. That's a good guess. Egret, maybe.
Doug Stanhope
Egret.
Pat Godwin
I'm gonna go Crane.
Jess Hooker
You're wrong. Oh, if you said mockingbird, which none of you did, you're right. If you said mockingbird, folks in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
Christy Lee
Also the video where he's a birder and he's like, got his binoculars and oh, and you hear the tweet, tweet, tweet. Oh, and there's the. There's the mockingbird. And then you hear there's the mockingbird. Since comedy, we've not done anything that funny this morning since.
Jess Hooker
The mockingbird is also the state bird of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Florida lawmakers are looking to break up with the mockingbird after nearly a century. Two bills aim to give the Sunshine State its own feather mascots.
Christy Lee
Mockingbird Bill. Get it?
Jess Hooker
Jess was right. One would be the American flamingo as a state bird.
Doug Stanhope
That's perfect.
Jess Hooker
And the Florida scrub jay, a native species, as state songbird.

Podcast Summary: B&T Extra – Tom is Stuck, Vulture Chick, & the Florida State Bird
Podcast Information
The episode kicks off shortly after the initial advertisements, with Christopher introducing "Bob and Tom Extra." He mentions the main topics for the day: Tom getting stuck, a vulture chick story, and a discussion about Florida's state bird.
[03:25] Doug Stanhope: "I wanted to talk about something fairly mundane actually with Doug. You hate baseball, am I correct?"
The conversation quickly shifts to a humorous recounting of Tom's mishap in the break room. Tom attempted to throw the lid of his coffee cup into the trash but ended up getting his arm stuck in the trash can flap.
[03:34] Jess Hooker: "He apparently threw the lid of his coffee cup into the trash."
[04:05] Doug Stanhope: "So now I had to go change shirts. Oh, I'm cleaning my arm off now."
The team humorously discusses the inconvenience and the unorthodox method Tom used to dispose of his cup ("stuck his arm all the way down in there and inched kind of"). Pat Godwin adds a playful comment imagining Tom filming his predicament, akin to the movie "127 Hours."
[04:35] Christy Lee: "I like to think that you immediately started making a video of you, like in 127 hours, my family, my arm is stuck in the dragon."
The segment highlights the camaraderie and lighthearted teasing among the hosts as they share laughs over Tom's accidental entanglement with the trash can.
[05:13] Doug Stanhope: "We'Ve been talking about a music that is charting because of the fun song from Jack Black that is very short."
Doug delves into a discussion about contemporary music trends, particularly the rise of short songs making it to the Billboard charts. He reminisces about older songs like "Help Me, Rhonda" by the Box Tops and ponders how modern songs reference outdated technologies.
[05:46] Pat Godwin: "Me a ticket for an Aeroplane."
The conversation touches on how many songs reference technologies no longer prevalent, such as payphones and fax machines, leading to humorous reflections on how these elements have faded from modern culture.
[06:54] Doug Stanhope: "We had a story, this was ages ago, about a guy xeroxing his butt and breaking the glass."
The hosts share amusing anecdotes about obsolete technologies, emphasizing the humor in how certain subjects remain scarce or morphed in contemporary music and media.
Transitioning to a feel-good segment, the hosts introduce a story about a vulture chick being raised at the Bronx Zoo with the help of a hand puppet.
[08:22] Pat Godwin: "The Bronx Zoo is raising its new vulture chick with the help of a hand puppet."
[09:20] Jess Hooker: "He's missing because he's missing out. Chick. Because his name is Chuck. He could be a chick."
The team discusses the innovative methods used by the Bronx Zoo's ornithology curator, Chuck Serbini, to help the newly hatched king vulture chick, Chuck, imprint on humans. They describe the puppet crafted to resemble a real vulture head, facilitating appropriate behavioral development by exposing Chuck to adult vulture interactions.
[10:08] Doug Stanhope: "So it's this a crazy looking vulture head feeding the little."
[10:11] Christy Lee: "It's not a crazy. It's an accurate vulture head."
The segment balances humor with appreciation for the zoo's efforts, highlighting the unique approach to animal care and fostering a connection between the chick and its human caretakers.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to dissecting Florida's state bird, currently the mockingbird, and recent legislative efforts to change it.
[14:12] Jess Hooker: "If you want to guess the state bird of Florida, we have flamingo. We have. What do we have?"
[14:35] Christy Lee: "The mockingbird is also the state bird of Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. Florida lawmakers are looking to break up with the mockingbird after nearly a century. Two bills aim to give the Sunshine State its own feather mascots."
The hosts explore the humor and implications of Florida potentially retiring the mockingbird as its state bird. Suggestions include the American Flamingo and the Florida Scrub Jay, each bringing their unique characteristics to the debate.
[15:25] Pat Godwin: "Did you know what a mockingbird's favorite alcohol is, right? Tequila. Tequila Mockingbird."
This light-hearted joke underscores the playful nature of the conversation, blending factual discussion with comedic elements.
[15:54] Jess Hooker: "Yes. And the Florida scrub jay, a native species, as state songbird."
[16:01] Doug Stanhope: "Why are they just. They lack an imagination that they have to. I guess we're gonna have the same bird as Arkansas."
The debate highlights the redundancy of multiple states sharing the same state bird and the desire for Florida to establish a unique identity through its choice of state bird.
The episode takes a nostalgic turn as the hosts share personal stories about their high school prom experiences, focusing on themes and memorable moments.
[16:34] Doug Stanhope: "One of mine was Jamaican Me Crazy."
[16:40] Christy Lee: "Mine was We May Never Pass this Way Again. Seals and Crofts."
They reminisce about various prom themes, blending humor and personal memories to engage listeners with relatable content.
[17:20] Doug Stanhope: "The solo project of a woman they're interviewing on NPR who was in a band no one had ever heard of that was all women. And now she's that no one will ever listen to the new album Vulture Chick."
[17:35] Christy Lee: "Remember the beginning of Miami Vice when all the flamingos were flouncing around?"
The anecdotes transition into discussions about hairstyles, personal grooming, and humorous takes on prom night experiences, further showcasing the hosts' camaraderie and ability to infuse humor into everyday stories.
As the episode wraps up, Christopher provides a brief outro, directing listeners to various podcast platforms.
