Muskrat Suzy, Muskrat Sam decided to eat out in muskrat land. I declare, they were a perfect pair. Nibbling on poison, covered with honey, Sam said to Susie, honey, this tastes funny. As he spoke, she started to choke.
Christopher (Co-host)
Lovely.
Storyteller/Poet
And they wormed and they squirmed and they retched desperately gasping for breath.
Christopher (Co-host)
I know the words.
Storyteller/Poet
Some men came and took them away. Looks like muskrat gloves. Oh, chick, I was waiting.
Christopher (Co-host)
It's a muskrat.
Storyteller/Poet
Thank you, Muskrat Suzy, Muskrat Sam. Now they get together When I fold my hands love lingers right on my fingers.
Christy (Co-host)
Okay.
Storyteller/Poet
And they wormed and they squirmed and they wretched desperately gasping for breath. Some men came and took them away. Looks like muskrat gloves.
Christopher (Co-host)
I really enjoyed Christy's Muskrat. That was very nice. It's our way of making sure you haven't missed anything. This is Bob and Tom.
Tom (Co-host)
Extra time now for emails from our listeners brought to you by Omaha Steaks.
Christopher (Co-host)
I've got. Got a bunch of stuff over here.
Bob (Co-host)
Did they tell you how long this swelling was gonna go on?
Christopher (Co-host)
I go back to the doctor next Friday.
Tom (Co-host)
I feel like it's been a month.
Bob (Co-host)
It seems like it shouldn't be this long. I don't know.
Christopher (Co-host)
Again, I had surgery quite a while ago.
Tom (Co-host)
I feel like we've all had a hernia.
Christopher (Co-host)
Well, no, I just. I just have to explain why when I get up, I walk like I'm a hundred.
Tom (Co-host)
Yeah.
Christy (Co-host)
But.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yes, there's some. Some pain down there.
Tom (Co-host)
You're not making it, Johan.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah.
Bob (Co-host)
Oh, well, that's not nice.
Christopher (Co-host)
I'd be. I'd be dead already. Me and you both.
Bob (Co-host)
Your mom lived to be, what, 90, 50 years ago?
Christopher (Co-host)
We'd both be dead.
Tom (Co-host)
Yeah.
Bob (Co-host)
You'll be fine.
Christopher (Co-host)
My mom and my mom's sisters, for the most part, lived well into their 90s.
Bob (Co-host)
See, you got good genes. You'll be fine.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, well, my grandparents did, too, but I'm. My dad was adopted. Oh. Yeah.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh. Have you ever thought of going into that story?
Christy (Co-host)
My dad didn't want to, so. Meaning.
Christopher (Co-host)
Would you want to do it just to find out genetically if you're predisposed to anything?
Christy (Co-host)
No, I'm cool. Yeah, he. Since he wasn't interested, I'm. I'm not interested. You know what I mean?
Christopher (Co-host)
What if I am? You're so selfish. I thought your dad. I thought your dad Larry was really cool because your dad Larry was a super badass Vietnam combat veteran, two tours of duty.
Christy (Co-host)
It was a teddy bear. He was a joke.
Tom (Co-host)
He really was.
Christy (Co-host)
Ye.
Bob (Co-host)
Maybe his mother was a 16 year old. No, no.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, we do know that. So we do kind of know the story. Oh, you do? He didn't want to meet her.
Bob (Co-host)
I got you.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, it wasn't out of any kind of anger or anything. He didn't want to meet her.
Bob (Co-host)
I got you.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, it wasn't out of any kind of anger or anything. He. He was. Yeah. She was young and couldn't take care of him, and so she gave him up for adoption. He was. We were always. Everybody, you know, in my family is always so grateful that that was the case. And. And, yeah, he. He appreciated that she made that sacrifice.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah.
Christy (Co-host)
And said, hey, and also realized, hey, I can't. I'm not in a position to take care of a Baby, right now. And this family is. Yeah, so my grandparents had adopted. My. My uncles adopted as well.
Bob (Co-host)
Oh, okay.
Christy (Co-host)
And because they were told they could not conceive, and then they adopted two kids, and then they conceived two kids. That always happened, but that's one.
Christopher (Co-host)
I was just interested in the biological heritage of you and see if that was that we could trace that to your terrible taste in music. Because you walked in this morning and said you like the Rod Stewart song Hot Legs. I'm no longer your friend. I think.
Christy (Co-host)
You know what's funny is that. Yeah, the music rocks. I think it's a really cool.
Tom (Co-host)
That song's always hit me like somebody who works as a vice president for a record company wrote it.
Christy (Co-host)
Oh, really?
Tom (Co-host)
The way it feels.
Christy (Co-host)
You know, I mean, like they heard a really cool band doing. I agree with you.
Tom (Co-host)
Every just run of the mill riff.
Christopher (Co-host)
You'Ve ever heard, that's like every song out today.
Tom (Co-host)
Well, let's not get into that.
Christy (Co-host)
I want to hear somebody do Hot Legs in a really raw way. It's just a. I think I'd like.
Tom (Co-host)
To hear the Black Crows do Hot Legs.
Christy (Co-host)
You're exactly.
Christopher (Co-host)
That's a great choice.
Tom (Co-host)
Somebody.
Christy (Co-host)
You're exactly right.
Christopher (Co-host)
Now, what are the best leg songs? I think you've got to have Legs by ZZ Top again.
Tom (Co-host)
There you have. Come on. We need one like Tosh. Get in there, boys.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh, yeah. Do you have any other great leg songs?
Tom (Co-host)
I can't think of them right now.
Christopher (Co-host)
How about ankles?
Tom (Co-host)
If there's anything else you can feet mention to bring a conversation to a screeching hall.
Christopher (Co-host)
A lot of butt songs.
Tom (Co-host)
You're doing great.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah, see, this is again where you get those old K tel. It's body part music. You get the butt.
Tom (Co-host)
Classic body part. That's what we call music. Music explosion.
Christopher (Co-host)
If we've got Lips Inc. You could even do the names of the band Funky Town. Now that's a great song. Okay, you don't like the song Funky Town?
Tom (Co-host)
It's all right. Disco Inferno and Shame by Evelyn Champagne King. You know, those are my disco songs.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah, I agree. Disco Inferno is the height. Okay, so I'm sorry, we're supposed to get to our letters because you have a segment coming up called On Music for To Pussify or something.
Bob (Co-host)
What?
Tom (Co-host)
No, we were talking. We were. We have been talking about sissy baby music all week, and we all like.
Christy (Co-host)
Our slow, sappy stuff.
Christopher (Co-host)
Wait now. Just before the show started, Chick and I were enjoying Michael Martin Murphy Wildfire. I. I love that song. Yeah, Beautiful. Oh, here it is.
Bob (Co-host)
Do you cry every time you hear it?
Christopher (Co-host)
The great cowboy singer Michael Martin Murphy.
Tom (Co-host)
You know, well, he was Michael Murphy in 1975. And this, this is like number three. This was the intro that was very rarely played on the radio. They just got to the meat of.
Bob (Co-host)
It because we were top 40. We didn't have time for.
Tom (Co-host)
That's why we got time for this.
Christopher (Co-host)
It's about a. What is it? It's a ghost horse, right?
Tom (Co-host)
No, they're both. I thought they're both dead.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, they're both.
Christopher (Co-host)
They're both dead.
Tom (Co-host)
I thought they both got killed.
Bob (Co-host)
Yeah, she went out looking for a horse and they both died.
Tom (Co-host)
Here we go.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh, it ends with a disco inferno. I didn't know they both died.
Christy (Co-host)
I mean, this song has to have its tractors as well.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh, of course. Oh, certainly. But listen to this voice.
Christy (Co-host)
Just.
Tom (Co-host)
Well, he's not going to sing here. More music.
Christopher (Co-host)
Chicks playing.
Christy (Co-host)
That's right.
Christopher (Co-host)
We got that chick playing I have to go to the bathroom version.
Tom (Co-host)
You know, someone speaking of. Tom's stepping in right there because the intro was too long. Someone really is in tune. One of our email listeners, Jason from Gallon, Ohio. It's a suburb of Columbus, I believe. I've heard of it. Hello, Bob and Tom Show. Explain to me, please, how Tom hates long intros to songs, but his setups come with the setup that come with a setup and a preamble. I, you know, and then he says, carry on. Cheers.
Christy (Co-host)
That's just one of those things we can't explain.
Tom (Co-host)
No, yeah, we can't.
Christopher (Co-host)
It's the nature of radio. You see, people are. They're, they're. They're joining you. What is the term in a play? I've tried to tell you this in Media for 35 years.
Tom (Co-host)
I, I agree with you that, that there is some explanation that needs to be taking place, but you have the impression, and I don't know how, that. That no one listening has any power at all.
Christopher (Co-host)
So what you're saying is the average audience member is more sophisticated than the simpletons in the room.
Tom (Co-host)
Yes. Give them the benefit of the doubt. Assume they're with you and understand what you're saying.
Christopher (Co-host)
I see. Okay. Well, then I won't. I will. I' a preliminary introduction.
Tom (Co-host)
But saying that is a preliminary.
Christopher (Co-host)
And even saying preliminary introduction is redundant. Dear gang. Yeah.
Tom (Co-host)
You have to say Bob and Tom Show. I'll explain how radio works in a moment. That's exactly what you told me.
Christopher (Co-host)
This comes to us from the great state of Louisiana.
Tom (Co-host)
Well, that's one of your more corrupt states. There's no doubt about it.
Christopher (Co-host)
A lot happens. A lot of great people from Louisiana.
Christy (Co-host)
Good people, bad city, sweet baby.
Tom (Co-host)
Jaden Daniels, the lsu. Yes, Tigers. Go ahead.
Christopher (Co-host)
We had that great story about the was like a 55 year old guy, 60 year old guy that joined the LSU marching band. What a great story.
Bob (Co-host)
That was that go.
Tom (Co-host)
No, it wasn't.
Christopher (Co-host)
It's one of the great marching bands in America.
Tom (Co-host)
What are you. Josh, as Josh pointed out, this old guy, because he just can't let it go, has taken somebody's slot on that band.
Christopher (Co-host)
Did you know that the poor kids.
Tom (Co-host)
Crying because he didn't make band because of grandpa.
Christopher (Co-host)
The tryouts to make that band last a full week. That's how skilled these musicians are.
Bob (Co-host)
Okay, so did he do it one and done or is he on the band for the whole season?
Christy (Co-host)
It was a gimmick. It was a money grab.
Christopher (Co-host)
Money grab.
Tom (Co-host)
It's clickbait.
Christopher (Co-host)
Okay, so you want to bring up nil for marching bands.
Christy (Co-host)
That's right.
Christopher (Co-host)
That is a topic we've talked about. We're not discussing it. Oh, sure, they got a great trumpet player. You know how much they're paying him? They gave him a Mercedes, the whole deal.
Tom (Co-host)
Anyway, what was the letter?
Christopher (Co-host)
Would that really happen?
Tom (Co-host)
Okay.
Christopher (Co-host)
God, that would be great.
Christy (Co-host)
That would be interesting.
Christopher (Co-host)
It'd be so funny. I'm sorry. Dear gang, remember you'll call. Our letter began that way. This comes to us for Miles again in Louisiana.
Christy (Co-host)
Hi, Miles.
Christopher (Co-host)
He goes, I heard you guys were curious about the height of your listeners. Oh, we were trying to find the tallest listener.
Christy (Co-host)
Yes.
Christopher (Co-host)
Huh. He goes, I am 11 5.
Christy (Co-host)
Is that right, Miles?
Christopher (Co-host)
Then he goes, I'm also. He goes, I'm also dyslexic.
Storyteller/Poet
Thank you.
Christy (Co-host)
Okay.
Christopher (Co-host)
I'm much appreciated. We certainly poke fun at that.
Tom (Co-host)
In the abstract, you could call that humor. Yes.
Christopher (Co-host)
I think there's those that are dyslexic might appreciate that joke. I have many, many relatives.
Tom (Co-host)
Genetically, they act dyslexic when you're around.
Christy (Co-host)
We've all agreed that Chick Fil a has some terrific customer service. Oh, yes, and they've really nailed their drive through system. However, Christy and I occasionally like to look at the menu.
Bob (Co-host)
Correct.
Christy (Co-host)
And we have an email here from Renee who says, I worked as a manager of a fast food restaurant. Nothing annoyed us more than someone that would come through the drive thru that didn't know what they wanted. The drive thru is for those that know what they want.
Bob (Co-host)
Well, then why do they have a menu at all.
Christy (Co-host)
What are you going to say about. What are you going to say to that right now?
Christopher (Co-host)
The menu. Go inside the restaurant.
Bob (Co-host)
Yes.
Christy (Co-host)
The worst thing you can do is hold up the line to read the menu.
Christopher (Co-host)
I have to agree.
Sports Announcer
I agree.
Christopher (Co-host)
You get behind somebody and they're. They've got 50 questions when you're waiting at a coffee place.
Tom (Co-host)
Yeah, but you. You. You don't have any. Any comment here. You don't like fast food and you never look at a menu.
Christy (Co-host)
So, in fact, he changed the story so that it was inside of a coffee place. Yeah. We really need you to just see.
Christopher (Co-host)
I am manipulating the simpletons. I think we've established that.
Tom (Co-host)
Simpletons.
Christy (Co-host)
We. Us.
Tom (Co-host)
But no one loves our listeners. I want you simpletons to know that. I love you guys.
Christy (Co-host)
Right?
Christopher (Co-host)
Right. Christy, I'll talk to you. You go to coffee places. I just. I spent the afternoon at a coffee place yesterday.
Bob (Co-host)
The whole afternoon.
Tom (Co-host)
I bet you did.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah.
Tom (Co-host)
Have you ever fallen asleep inside a restaurant? Yes or no?
Christopher (Co-host)
Yes, but not yesterday. I had a. I had a night. Delightful.
Tom (Co-host)
I think that guy in the corner.
Christopher (Co-host)
Iced tea and a cappuccino.
Christy (Co-host)
Yeah, yeah.
Christopher (Co-host)
One of my daughters likes to go there, and Kelly was working down the street, so we just went there. We just sat there all afternoon. And they have nice wi. Fi.
Christy (Co-host)
All right, good. Yeah.
Christopher (Co-host)
Did my crossword puzzle. Was nice, but I'm. But when you go into a coffee place, don't you. Do you get annoyed if the person in front of you has a lot of questions and there's a line?
Christy (Co-host)
No, No, I don't.
Christopher (Co-host)
I do. Yeah.
Christy (Co-host)
The coffee. No, you guys can just get the coffee.
Christopher (Co-host)
You don't need the other foods and stuff. Just get the coffee and go. And. And, And. Hasn't. Didn't I. Did I read.
Bob (Co-host)
What bothers me is at the airport because we're all in a hurry anyway, and then.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah, I know exactly which one you're talking about. One of my favorite coffee places, the one at the airport.
Bob (Co-host)
You get.
Christopher (Co-host)
And they get. Yeah, they got lots of questions.
Bob (Co-host)
Yeah.
Christy (Co-host)
No, no. The slow people at the coffee shop at the airport are the people who work at the coffee shop.
Bob (Co-host)
Well, that's not.
Christopher (Co-host)
That's true. They're not. They're not in a hurry. Step it up. I ain't going nowhere, mister.
Bob (Co-host)
Here at 5am you're going to wait.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah, yeah. Did I read correctly? That is Starbucks. They're cutting back on all the. The flim Flam fruity.
Bob (Co-host)
Oh, are they really?
Christopher (Co-host)
Aren't they trying? Good. You Know the stuff. The stuff that requires, you know, four minutes at a blender and Frappuccino.
Tom (Co-host)
Right.
Christopher (Co-host)
The other guy's got to get an eyedropper to put in the. Whatever it is. Orgasm juice, whatever.
Christy (Co-host)
I mean, there have been times where I've walked in and I walked in just after a, like, volleyball team. Oh. And that's. And that is a lot of blenders and a lot of. Yeah, you know, that's where I kind of wished the coach had gone. Hey, let's let this one dude go before us. But. But the drive thru thing at Chick Fil A, I don't have, believe it or not, have their menu memorized.
Bob (Co-host)
Yeah, I don't.
Christopher (Co-host)
I. It's just a couple of chicken things, but I.
Bob (Co-host)
Now they have a new pretzel bun. Until I saw it on television. Had I known the other day, I would have gotten the breakfast just a.
Christopher (Co-host)
Chicken sandwich and waffle fries.
Tom (Co-host)
Right.
Christy (Co-host)
Not much else.
Christopher (Co-host)
You know the story about my buddy, buddy Mel at the Burger King?
Tom (Co-host)
Yes.
Christy (Co-host)
Huh. Prank.
Christopher (Co-host)
You ever seen someone that just has one arm and they take the sleeve and they fold it up and put a big pin in it?
Bob (Co-host)
Sure.
Tom (Co-host)
Didn't we say we heard this story? No, no.
Christopher (Co-host)
Ace wants to hear it. The Mal did that. He had both of his arms. I should point this out. He's very fit. He looked kind of like Han, actually. Kind of like Greg Han. And he tucked his arm back and he. So he walked in as if he had one arm and went into a Burger King and he said, I'd like a Big Mac, please. And the guy said, well, no, sir, I'm sorry. This is the home of the Whopper. And Mel said, well, it takes two hands to handle the Whopper. And he walked out a long way from joke.
Christy (Co-host)
For those who are my age, it takes two hands to handle a Whopper was a slogan during World War II before we were.
Christopher (Co-host)
I did that for one of the great truckers out there who knows what I'm talking about, because it's Trucker Appreciation Week, which is why we started the show with 18 wheels on a big rig.
Christy (Co-host)
Very nice.
Christopher (Co-host)
I've got a letter here that I will read. I've been told to read this at this exact time. Is this. This is correct. I'm getting the signal from Jason. He goes, dear Tom.
Christy (Co-host)
Now programming for our listeners.
Tom (Co-host)
Yeah, exact times.
Christopher (Co-host)
Now this comes to us from Green Bay, Christy.
Bob (Co-host)
Hello, Green Bay.
Christopher (Co-host)
He says, go, pack. Go, baby. This is from Nate. I don't know if it's intentional or do you guys do this subconsciously, I've noticed over the past few months, the majority of the commercials related to food have been given to Josh to read. As a fellow fat man, I'm disgusted with how hard this makes me laugh.
Christy (Co-host)
Whoa.
Tom (Co-host)
Wow.
Christy (Co-host)
I'm trying to think what. Yeah, I've done. I do Omaha steaks. I've done cheese. I've done.
Christopher (Co-host)
I was not. This is not. I did not designate you to do those.
Bob (Co-host)
Is this.
Christy (Co-host)
I know you didn't. Yeah, I do think it is a conscious decision.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh, really? From. From a. If it'll make you more comfortable, we could have Christy do the steak things. But I think I enjoy Omaha Steaks. Very.
Christy (Co-host)
To me, it's not a fat thing. It's a people with. Who enjoy good food.
Christopher (Co-host)
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Tom (Co-host)
Michael Martin Murphy.
Christopher (Co-host)
Wildfire takes all the stress.
Christy (Co-host)
How'd you like to be.
Tom (Co-host)
Grilling is just lovely.
Christy (Co-host)
You got your Bluetooth on the deck, this song's playing, and you're just kind of singing to yourself as you fill the air with the delicious smells of.
Christopher (Co-host)
Omaha St. Oh, you know, some cowboy got out his lasso. You say lasso or lasso?
Tom (Co-host)
Lasso. You incredible Ivy League.
Christopher (Co-host)
Always been lasso. Always, I say.
Christy (Co-host)
You know, I don't lasso.
Christopher (Co-host)
Lasso choices.
Christy (Co-host)
Lasso.
Christopher (Co-host)
Lasso the steer.
Christy (Co-host)
I'm about to say something that rhymes with lasso.
Christopher (Co-host)
You keep this. Oh, now it's getting even sadder. Here comes the hook chick.
Christy (Co-host)
No, I don't like this whistle or whatever the hell I like it.
Tom (Co-host)
Oh, you like. Here it comes. Here it comes. I think it's got to be a guitar all of a sudden.
Christopher (Co-host)
I think that's a pickle of. That's a guitar, isn't it?
Tom (Co-host)
Guitar?
Christopher (Co-host)
No.
Sports Announcer
What?
Christopher (Co-host)
A flute of some kind? Yeah, that's. Wait a minute. No real flute.
Tom (Co-host)
I'm gonna go as piccolo player.
Christopher (Co-host)
Can you back it up, Johnny Sherigan? I want to hear that.
Tom (Co-host)
I can't.
Christopher (Co-host)
Oh, oh, you have a different system. Okay, I'll get on the one that works.
Christy (Co-host)
They made a movie about the first gulp. Piccolo player, didn't they?
Tom (Co-host)
What was it?
Christy (Co-host)
Brian Song.
Christopher (Co-host)
Brian Piccolo.
Christy (Co-host)
Did I have that?
Christopher (Co-host)
Sure. I do a World War II. World War II joke. Now we're doing a 70s made for TV movie material, which I like. I'm. I'm totally with you.
Tom (Co-host)
Applauded you for that joke. Does that make you feel good?
Christopher (Co-host)
Yes.
Christy (Co-host)
I was told althier. Every time he applauds, I get $10.
Tom (Co-host)
Wow. All right, fair enough.
Christopher (Co-host)

The tone is classic Bob & Tom: fast-paced, witty, occasionally zany but always good-natured and self-aware. The hosts openly rib each other and the audience, seamlessly moving between real-life conversations and comedy bits. Even when topics turn briefly serious (health, adoption, family), humor quickly returns to maintain a light, communal vibe.
This “Extra” episode delivers a fun, meandering mix of offbeat performance bits, candid health updates, mailbag banter, music nostalgia, and the everyman frustrations of fast food. The group’s chemistry, well-timed jabs, and gentle self-deprecation make the episode feel like a hangout with slightly eccentric, lifelong friends—always welcoming, always irreverent.
