K Pop Demon Hunters, Saja Boys Breakfast meal and Hunt Trick's meal have just dropped at McDonald's. They're calling this a battle for the fans. What do you say to that, Rumi?
Tom Griswold
It's not a battle. So glad the Saja Boys could take breakfast and give our meal the rest of the day.
Kristi Lee
It is an honor to share.
Tom Griswold
No, it's our honor.
Kristi Lee
It is our larger honor.
Chick McGee
No, really stop.
Bob Kevoian
You can really feel the respect in this battle. Pick a meal to pick a side.
Tom Griswold
Ba da ba ba ba and participate

like keeping my money where I can see it. Unfortunately, traditional big wireless carriers also seem to like keeping my money too. After years of overpaying for wireless, I finally got fed up with crazy high wireless bills, bogus fees, and so called free perks that actually cost more in the long run. I switched to Mint Mobile and now I'm paying only a fraction of what I was with those other carriers.
Tom Griswold
Stop paying for wireless just because that's how it's always been. Mint exists purely to fix that, all plans come with high speed data and unlimited talk and text delivered on the nation's largest 5G network starting at just 15 bucks a month.
Mint Mobile Advertiser
I brought in my own phone with the same number and was able to activate with ESIM in minutes. And just like that, the savings started immediately. No long term contracts, no hassle. Do what I did and ditch overpriced wireless and get three months of premium wireless service from Mint Mobile for 15 bucks a month.

Narrator/Voice Actor
Strangers meet near elevator doors. They board, they chat, then find out that they're stuck between two floors. Pipeline Pat and Big Butt Bob ignoring what's amiss. They share a glance. They take a chance and cautiously they kiss. His tie comes loose, her shoes come off. Dare they try much more a Stomach groan. They're all alone. A briefcase hits the floor. Her girdle and his box are shorts in minutes torn to pieces. Pipeline Pat immersed in fat whispers. Take me, Jesus. I'll take you. Take you, Pipeline Patty. I'm your big butt Bobby. But as it happened, the cable snapped and took them to the lobby.
Chick McGee
A great way to get your morning started.
Tom Griswold
This is Bob and Tom Exter. Tom, how are you doing?
Chick McGee
Great, Chick. I just texted a couple pictures of the dog house we built yesterday.
Tom Griswold
Well, I hope so. To.
We can't wait to see it.
It's all anyone's talking about.
Chick McGee
It's not very elaborate. I haven't finished the H vac, the Florida room or the patio.
Kristi Lee
Oh, okay, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Have you faced the possibility yet that the doghouse will never be out of doors or used?
Chick McGee
Oh, no, no. It'll be outside. We. It's not we.
Tom Griswold
Is it outside now?
Chick McGee
No, I. Well, because. Check local listings. There's some weather on the way.
Tom Griswold
Well, yes, but.
Does it have a roof?
Do dog.
Chick McGee
It has a roof, but it's not slanted. I tried to explain to the ladies that I think the photographs they were looking at were based on. There's certain places where you can have a flat roof.
Tom Griswold
Okay?
Chick McGee
This is not one of them. You can have a flat roof. My old house had a flat roof. If you have a flat roof. You know a guy that fixes flat roofs because they leak no matter what you do?
Kristi Lee
You can't take no for an answer here. You got to go ahead and just say, hey, right, we're making a roof.
Chick McGee
Yeah, well, I've got. I do. I actually have in my garage some roofing shingles.
Kristi Lee
Those aren't going to do anything.
Tom Griswold
You could add it on top of the flat. That's what I would.
And you already let the genie out of the bottle by having the doghouse in the house. Done now. Oh, no, it's never going back in the garage.
Chick McGee
No, it's in the hallway. It's a long story. Yeah, it'll. It'll come up. It'll come up.
Tom Griswold
It's not where dog houses go.
Chick McGee
I know.
Kristi Lee
That is a fun project, though.
Is it up to code?
Chick McGee
There we go. There's. Oh, there's a little dungy inside the dog.
Tom Griswold
I have no idea what your dog house looks like.
Chick McGee
Back up. There we go. There, you can see it now. You'll notice. There are the two girls.
Tom Griswold
Now, remember?
Chick McGee
What.
Tom Griswold
What size did you say this was? Six feet.
Chick McGee
It's six feet by three. Feet by three.
Tom Griswold
None of this Is six not three feet.
Chick McGee
Okay, maybe it's two and a half.
Tom Griswold
There's not a six foot in there.
Chick McGee
Austin at Lowe's was kind enough to cut the lumber. It's great. See the lady.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Chick McGee
And now you can see in the upper right there where you can't see the whole it doghouse in huge letters. They've got the stick on letters you got.
Kristi Lee
Right. It's. It's. Look, it's a fun.
Chick McGee
It's a fun project.
Kristi Lee
I am going to recommend roof or. No, that can't go outdoors.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's true.
Chick McGee
Maybe with a couple. Not yet. We. It took all day to build it. These girls are 10.
Kristi Lee
It's very fun. Yeah, it's a fun little box.
Chick McGee
And when we first got there.
Tom Griswold
So it's a box with a hole.
Chick McGee
So heart walks into the. Heart walks into the. Into the lumber area at Lowe's and she goes I want to use these. Well they were four by four. They won't fit in my car.
Kristi Lee
Sure.
Chick McGee
And I tried to having explain that to her.
Tom Griswold
Well this whole thing as the Internet would say failed. This is a fail. The whole thing's a fail.
Chick McGee
They had fun. We got to use hammers.
Kristi Lee
That's the main thing, isn't it?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You can't use the dog hammers.
Kristi Lee
10 year olds with hammers, they got
Chick McGee
very picky about which side of the wood was the outside or the inside.
Kristi Lee
Well, I mean there is a reason why the 10 year old girls aren't project managers.
Tom Griswold
Yes, that's true.
Kristi Lee
You should have took charge of that.
Chick McGee
They had a great. They had a great time.
Kristi Lee
That's the key. That's the main thing.
Tom Griswold
They don't even have around.
All new housing would be pink.
Chick McGee
Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me. The girls complaining. What's wrong with the entrance?
Tom Griswold
You don't have a rounded entrance like a traditional dog.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You really don't. None of that.
Yeah.
Chick McGee
This is based on.
Tom Griswold
There's a class.
Chick McGee
I'll talk to my architecture friends out there. This is based on the classical Greeks.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Chick McGee
Yes. The. Oops. The rectangular entry simply is more of a. It's a feng shui thing developed by the Greeks.
Tom Griswold
The right modern.
Kristi Lee
It just won't last in the elements. Unfortunately.
Chick McGee
No, it's just phase one.
Tom Griswold
It's not going to be outside. So that's.
Chick McGee
See my thought is I can put a. A board up front and then put a slanted roof on it. We'll put some shingles on. They'll like that. Shingling is fun. Sure. I even bought some roofing nails.
Tom Griswold
Did Dungy like it, by the way?
Chick McGee
138 bucks just for the lumber.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Oh, my God.
Chick McGee
You know what?
Tom Griswold
I could see every dollar and the nails looking at that dog house.
Chick McGee
This reminds me, by the way, there are some really nice doghouse kits out there for $98. Yeah. I mean, this was much more fun.
Kristi Lee
It is essentially a large box. Amazon box.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You could have made this.
Chick McGee
It's made of wood.
Kristi Lee
No, yeah, you're right. You're right.
Tom Griswold
You could have gotten a refrigerator box and just cut a hole in it.
Chick McGee
That's no fun.
Tom Griswold
I can't imagine this.
Kristi Lee
Look at the.
Tom Griswold
I don't think Dungy's having a good time.
Chick McGee
Look at the other.
Kristi Lee
The girls are happily blockading Dungy from being able to exit the claustrophobic box.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Now the dog will never go near it.
Kristi Lee
No, no, Dungey, you don't. You live here. Now they're saying.
Chick McGee
He can tell because it has huge letters on it saying doghouse.
Kristi Lee
I love that.
Chick McGee
The stick on letters. Those are great. The girls found those on their own.
Kristi Lee
Did you have a chair to sit down on and watch this? And were you.
Chick McGee
We were building it in my garage. Kelly was upset because I was wearing. I have these special knee pads that I wear. She said that they say look ridiculous.
Kristi Lee
Wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
You wear knee. I find it hard. You'd ever wear knee pads for anything?
Kristi Lee
You can't worry about looking ridiculous when you're just trying to work on a garage floor with knee pads. They're necessary.
Tom Griswold
Wait a minute. Where did you build it? In the garage?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Why didn't you build it on a table?
Why didn't you build it outside?
Chick McGee
Because it was extraordinarily windy when we were taking the. All those sheets of wood out of the. Of the Lowe's.
Kristi Lee
I bet they were sales.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, we had to be. I had to go run back and keep them from flying out there.
Kristi Lee
You brought construction knee pads?
Yeah, I have knee pads for when I. When I weed.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay.
Chick McGee
I use them all the time. I had a lot of handiwork over the weekend. I had to get underneath the sink.
Tom Griswold
I have knee pads for when I pleasure men.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Who doesn't? Yeah, yeah, that's what they're mainly for.
Tom Griswold
You needed knee pads to work under the sink?
Chick McGee
No, no. Well, no. I had a clip on light for my hat. Yeah, I had to get underneath the sink and fix it.
Tom Griswold
I don't think you know what a dog house looks like.
Kristi Lee
That's the design the girls made.
Chick McGee
See for you have to understand, it's about the journey. It's about going to the store and.
Mint Mobile Advertiser
And seeing things.
Chick McGee
And remember when I was a kid, I didn't know you could actually go buy lumber, but one of my friends said, yeah, you got to go steal it from a construction site.
Kristi Lee
He told the girls to draw a dog house.
Tom Griswold
Where did you.
Kristi Lee
They drew this.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's. They drew a box. No, then they found. Then they found one online that looked like a big box. That's all a dog needs. The dog doesn't care.
Tom Griswold
The dog doesn't want to be in the dog house.
Not now you've scared it.
Chick McGee
Yeah, no, he was fine in there.
Kristi Lee
You know what? Those girls have every reason to be proud. Who is that? Your daughter and her friend. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And very cute.
And by the way, you call that a dog?
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's. Oh, he's the sweetest little guy.
Tom Griswold
Kind of a teeny tiny.
Chick McGee
Now, I don't know if the big guy will get in it all up to try. I'll try that,
Tom Griswold
Willie.
Yeah. Not. Yeah, that doghouse isn't going to hold a very big dog.
Kristi Lee
You know what you've really made there? And I. I'm not trying to upset anybody. You made. You made a cat house. Cats love boxes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they'll go in there and stay.
Kristi Lee
And by the way, you know, if I buy that from you for gravy, she's. That's where she is forever now.
Chick McGee
And don't you love the word cat house?
Kristi Lee
I mean, it didn't even hit me, though.
Chick McGee
As opposed to. As opposed to house of ill repute or.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, it's much nicer than horror house or whorehouse.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
If you were inviting your father to visit a. Would you use the term cat house?
Kristi Lee
Boy, there is something used a lot.
There's something softer about it than whore.
Yeah, yeah, cat house is cool.
Chick McGee
Kind of sweet.
Tom Griswold
They used the P word house.
Chick McGee
What?
Narrator/Voice Actor
What?
Chick McGee
What the hell's wrong?
Kristi Lee
I have not heard that. No.
Chick McGee
What is that?
Tom Griswold
What is it?
Chick McGee
Did you give her drugs this morning?
Tom Griswold
Cooch house. What are you saying? Yeah, I know what you're trying to say.
Kristi Lee
Oh, we got.
Tom Griswold
Has there been a. I might not be very nice, but I reasonably tell very nice.
Don't.
No, no, no. To hell with it. I'm done now. You think I've been crabby before?
Thanks, Tom.
Go ahead.
Chick McGee
He was criticizing my buddy Austin at Lowe's, who was nice enough to cut the wood for me.
Kristi Lee
So sweet.
Tom Griswold
Your buddy. He's a guy that works.
Chick McGee
Yeah. But he was nice and happy and wanted to know what the girls were doing. And he was a sweet guy.
Tom Griswold
Did you tip him? No tip for the guy. Nice.
Chick McGee
Do you tip the guy?
Tom Griswold
Well, of course.
Kristi Lee
You tip the guy who cut your wood.
Tom Griswold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
Maybe I'll go back. I'll go back and do that. I didn't think about this.
Tom Griswold
Give him a 20.
Chick McGee
There's another guy who helped me find the nails. Did you know that there are 10,000 different kinds of nails in the world?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Kristi Lee
That can't get somewhat overwhelming.
Chick McGee
And that's what I was trying to pick. The nails that the girls went loose. They went rogue. And then they came back with the beware of dog sign and all the letters to spell out doghouse. And that's what makes it. They. They're the ones that came up with that.
Tom Griswold
Do we have that picture of a real doghouse up here? This. This is what a real dog house looks like. Tom, I don't think you have any idea what you're working with. Have you seen Snoopy and Peanuts or anything that's.
Chick McGee
What. Well, they have the standard picture
Tom Griswold
or something.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Kristi Lee
And you could have got that for $49.99.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's the thing. It's made of plastic.
Tom Griswold
And you could put it together and say, there, girls, we made a dog house.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
And you'd have something that's functional instead of a large paperweight in your hallway.
Chick McGee
The girl. The girls want a hammer. They want to use nails. They want to use tools. I did make one mistake, by the way. I did not have them wear safety glasses.
Tom Griswold
Oh, what?
Chick McGee
I forgot. Yeah. One of the nails took a.
Tom Griswold
You. You didn't have them in safety gear?
Chick McGee
I didn't think that. Because I would start the nail.
Tom Griswold
So.
Chick McGee
Okay, so I didn't want to hit their thumbs and. Yeah. But in one of the nails, they hit it.
Narrator/Voice Actor
Bing.
Chick McGee
Fortunately, it didn't go in anybody's eye.
Kristi Lee
So that's very fortunate.
Chick McGee
That would have been. That would have been a bad phone call. Yeah.
Narrator/Voice Actor
You didn't.
Tom Griswold
You didn't get the mom's permission to allow the other girl.
Chick McGee
I remember I took pictures the whole way. I've got a lot of pictures, but.
Tom Griswold
And you sen him to the girls.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. Just so they know what was going on.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Kristi Lee
Does the other girl have a dog, too?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Oh, good.
Chick McGee
Cute little guy, too.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
So I've got a feeling next week
Tom Griswold
you're gonna be building another one over their house.
Chick McGee
I'll have to borrow Mark's truck for that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Maybe they could.
Chick McGee
I almost borrowed Mark's truck anyway, but I'm glad I didn't because I borrowed his truck. That thing would have been 8ft by
Tom Griswold
4ft and the wood would have flown out.
Kristi Lee
Now that I think about it, Mark could live in that dog.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
You know, you raise a mansion for Mark.
Chick McGee
You raised, you raised a good.
Kristi Lee
Why'd you make it so big?
Chick McGee
He says, yeah, that dog house. I don't need to stand up in here.
Tom Griswold
The doghouse you made is feet by three feet maybe. And you keep calling it six feet. It's not.
Chick McGee
I, I didn't measure it. We, we got into an argument about it.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Apparently, I've been told that Oscar has found some poor craftsmanship. My near dog house, and he has zoomed in on it, so.
Kristi Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, what's going on over there?
Kristi Lee
Well, just to show you, you're going
Tom Griswold
to have to caulk that time ready
Kristi Lee
for, for being outdoors.
Chick McGee
I was going to reinforce it today with some wood screws. That's what happened when you, that's what happens when you nail.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, you can see.
Chick McGee
By the way, can you see inside the warning beware of dog signs?
Tom Griswold
Have you heard glue it and screw it? You know, I haven't heard that. You got to do that gluten. Screw it, baby.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I, I, we didn't bother gluing, but yeah, I, I was going to do some reinforcement today, get some wood screws.
Tom Griswold
That is just a giant, mushy pile
Kristi Lee
of wet wood after the first rain.
Tom Griswold
Light rain. A misting will do that.
Chick McGee
First of all, my daughter heart a lot of push back there. I'll bring her in here and you can argue with her.
Tom Griswold
About what?
Chick McGee
Oh, they want, they want to take even more shortcuts.
Kristi Lee
Oh, like what?
Chick McGee
Oh, I'd go, I think you need to put six nails in here. Two will hold it. And by the way, my one hammer was actually, it wasn't a claw hammer. It was a mini sledge. So they were lifting it up. They'd have to hold it with two. A mini sledge.
Kristi Lee
At least a little mallet kind of still.
Tom Griswold
That's heavy.
Kristi Lee
That's fun. I'm glad you guys.
The dog doesn't look happy.
Chick McGee
No, no, he was fine. Oh, he's went inside down.
Tom Griswold
The dog's terrified.
Chick McGee
No, he's not there. You can't see. They. Oh, they outfitted it with his basket full of toys behind him. And he's got a, and he's got a water bowl and a food bowl in there.
Tom Griswold
I'm Pissing on one of your legs as soon as I get out of here.
Chick McGee
Yeah, you know. Okay. There we go.
Kristi Lee
If I could be guaranteed, I wouldn't be put down, I'd be biting all of you.
Tom Griswold
Damn right.
Chick McGee
A good way to spend a Sunday. We had a great time.
Kristi Lee
I didn't know that was dungy. That's a sweet. What is it, a doodle?
Chick McGee
Yeah, he's a. What is he technically, mini? No, he's not that small. He's about 30 pounds. He was.
Tom Griswold
And how many flights did he.
Chick McGee
Daddy was a full blown standard poodle.
Kristi Lee
Is he funny?
Chick McGee
Oh, he's a great dog.
Tom Griswold
Still considered a mini even though they weigh 30 pounds.
Chick McGee
Okay, well, he. And then his mommy was a Bernadoodle, so. Yeah, he's a quarter Bernie's mound dog, but you could never tell because he doesn't. He's all white.
Tom Griswold
He looks like something Ava Gabor wouldn't.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, it is kind of one of those.
Chick McGee
But he's like every dog. You know something? I. I used to not want small dogs, and then I got a couple labradoodles 30 years ago, and I just. They're. If you have a good dog, it's a good dog. I had a friend that had seven. Seven Chihuahuas.
Kristi Lee
Oh, kidding.
TikTok Advertiser
Yeah, way too many.
Chick McGee
Oh, it was great.
Tom Griswold
They were all named Pepe.
Kristi Lee
You know, they do tend to have.
Chick McGee
But he was. And he was a great guy. And he was an older guy and his wife had died and she had all these pets, these chihuahuas. But they were great little dogs.
Tom Griswold
Each chihuahua is piss everywhere. I don't. I don't care.
Kristi Lee
How hard would you laugh if you saw seven chihuahuas riding in a El Camino?
Tom Griswold
So, so hard.

The BOB & TOM Show Free Podcast | April 8, 2026
Episode Focus: Chick McGee recounts a DIY doghouse project with his daughter and her friend, leading to playful banter with Tom Griswold, Kristi Lee, and the rest of the cast about architecture, craftsmanship... and whether the doghouse will ever see a dog.
This Extra episode is a lighthearted, laughter-filled dissection of Chick McGee’s efforts to build a doghouse alongside two 10-year-old girls. The hosts riff on DIY disasters, practical construction concerns, questionable measurements, the priorities of children, and comedic asides about dogs, cats, and unexpected uses for knee pads. The theme centers on family bonding through attempting home projects—even if the project itself turns out… questionable.
For listeners who missed the episode: expect a sweet, silly, authentic slice of Midwestern family life, filtered through the BOB & TOM crew’s irreverent humor and seasoned with practical construction advice…of sorts.
