For Listeners Who Missed It

This BOB & TOM Extra is a snapshot of the show’s strengths: irreverent group dynamics, American pop culture oddities, and playful debates over everything from car etiquette to junk food branding. There are no serious “takeaways”—just a reminder to enjoy the small, strange pleasures of daily life (and to always check which car you’re in before waving at fellow Jeepers).

[Tom Welling]

It was.

[Kevin]

It was.

[Tom Welling]

It was wonderful.

[Tom]

And you guys always. You poo poo on my surprise.

[Christopher]

Well, you had nothing to do with that surprise. Just admit that you had.

[Tom]

Zero.

[Kevin]

Zero.

[Tom]

No, no, no, no.

[Kevin]

I. I don't want to throw you under the bus, bud. But why didn't have anything to do with it.

[Tom Welling]

Why do you dislike surprises? It seems like you would.

[Tom]

I hate surprises.

[Tom Welling]

I. I don't know why that is.

[Tom]

I'm saying. But you guys were indeed surprised. I'm not taking credit for it.

[Kevin]

I'm.

[Tom Welling]

Know about that.

[Christopher]

Aren't you?

[Tom]

I promoted.

[Tom Welling]

Tell you something. I promoted you. Between all of us in here, we've got one pretty good brain. Okay. And you're not going to pull anything over.

[Tom]

I said we. I've got a surprise coming up, and you guys.

[Tom Welling]

Oh, you surprised.

[Tom]

Then Hugh Jackman walks in here and you guys. Oh, that was cool. How about the time? How about the time Joe Theisman. Okay, that was pretty. You're one of your favorite human beings all of a sudden.

[Tom Welling]

And he still is. But to my point, that's two times in 40 years. Grocery store cake or a live Kingsman album. Yeah. Or somebody.

[Kevin]

Or.

[Tom Welling]

Or some.

[Tom]

Wait a second.

[Tom Welling]

Cashier you met with an interesting voice or surprise. Some server that one eyes lower than the other.

[Tom]

How about the guy that could mimic backwards records?

[Tom Welling]

Bad. Real bad.

[Tom]

Exciting.

[Kevin]

You brought him in here?

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Tom Welling]

Oh, yeah. He did it live for us one morning.

[Tom]

Oh, great.

[Tom Welling]

So I couldn't even deal with it by making fun of it. I sit here and go, yes, that is amazing.

[Tom]

It's quite a skill. We'll see. But one of these days. One of these days, I think David Rush could walk in here, maybe do a world record in our parking lot. Wouldn't that be great?

[Tom Welling]

You know what? One of the things that you did. It wasn't a surprise, but. And we arranged it. Was the Bassoon quartet. I enjoyed that very much. And you. And you keep saying you're going to bring them back.

[Tom]

Well, I can do.

[Tom Welling]

It happens.

[Christopher]

I just.

[Tom]

I just saw my bassoon buddy of the other day.

[Tom Welling]

What, do you run into a bassoon buddy?

[Christopher]

We've gotten to the point where we need two shows now. Chicken Tom show.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christopher]

Followed by everyone else.

[Kevin]

Yeah. I'm with you.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Christopher]

Yeah. Happily do 10 to 2.

[Tom Welling]

Okay.

[Christopher]

Because if you're gonna keep pimping him with some of this stuff.

[Kyle]

Yes.

[Tom Welling]

Okay, go ahead. Just as guilty as he is. Am I.

[Kevin]

Yes.

[Tom Welling]

Am I making trouble now?

[Kevin Harlan]

Yes.

[Kevin]

Would you continue to set him up for the same stuff?

[Kevin Harlan]

You pimped the cat story?

[Tom Welling]

I'm going to look at what you're saying. We all know the kids.

[Tom]

All right, well, let's move forward here.

[Tom Welling]

Yes.

[Tom]

Do you have any more letters?

[Tom Welling]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. I'm 44 years old and I've been listening to you for as long as I can remember. I drive a white 1997 Chevy Silverado pickup. I regularly get waves from other people driving a Silverado. I always wave. Even if I. If I don't wave first. Oh, I always wave.

[Christopher]

So they've got a kinship.

[Tom Welling]

Yes.

[Tom]

But is that. Is that a thing or is he just trying to.

[Tom Welling]

It doesn't have to be a thing. Thing. If it's a thing between him and another Silverado driver, it's a thing because.

[Tom]

The Jeep is a thing.

[Kevin]

The Jeep is a thing.

[Tom]

And it's. But again, it's. It's just the wrangler people.

[Kevin]

I don't know. There's people now saying that you don't. The. The wave is for all Jeeps and the ducks are for all Jeep.

[Christopher]

I don't think a Wrangler should wave to a Jeep Cherokee.

[Tom Welling]

I don't think so.

[Tom]

I. I think.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Tom Welling]

That. That's.

[Tom]

That's mixing the.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Tom Welling]

Just on price point alone. They have no.

[Kevin]

You wave at people with your same car.

[Tom Welling]

Absolutely.

[Christopher]

I know.

[Tom Welling]

I do.

[Kevin]

I wave.

[Tom Welling]

Yes, I do.

[Kevin]

You might. You're not friendly enough.

[Tom]

I'm waving. Yeah.

[Kevin Harlan]

Yeah.

[Tom Welling]

That's what I do. Josh and I. Josh and I sat down and we made a list of things that were wrong with me. Number one was I wasn't friendly enough.

[Kevin]

So how was I not invited to this meeting?

[Tom Welling]

Well, you'd be too biased. And my point is. So Josh said, yeah. And he gave me a couple of tips of being friendly. And one of them, I think it was, number three, I should wave to someone driving the Same car that I am.

[Christopher]

That's exactly right.

[Tom]

I always wave it when I go slowly through construction zones, and I do drive slowly because those people are working.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I always wave, and 99% of the time, they wave back.

[Kevin]

Oh, I always wave and smile at them, too.

[Tom Welling]

I. I wave at them, too.

[Kevin]

No, you don't see.

[Tom Welling]

And she doesn't believe that.

[Christopher]

That was number seven.

[Tom Welling]

That was number seven.

[Michael Rosenbaum]

Yes.

[Tom]

I don't think I. I just. I think the Jeep. Waving to other Jeeps is a. That's their thing.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Tom]

That they invented and. Yeah.

[Tom Welling]

Yes. But you could have other models.

[Tom]

I. I drove it. I had three or four actually, Jeep Grand Cherokees.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Over the course of time. And I was doing it, and then someone explained to me, no, no, no.

[Kevin]

Yeah. I have a Grand Cherokee now, too. And I don't wave it up.

[Tom]

You only. You're only supposed to do it if you're a wrangler.

[Kevin Harlan]

Yes.

[Kevin]

And the. But the unfortunate part is when you're not driving a Jeep and you see another Jeep and you forget you're not. You're in. You're not in your Jeep.

[Tom]

That's kind of my kind of move.

[Kevin]

Yeah, I did that. I do that a lot, Jake.

[Christopher]

I have heard, ever. Growing up, anybody with the same making model if they waved the other person right. Okay, so it is a thing. But I. Yeah, but it's definitely a Jeep thing.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

Jeep wrangler thing.

[Tom Welling]

And the duck thing is definitely a Jeep thing. Right.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Getting ducked. Yeah.

[Christopher]

That's why I've never. I love a Jeep wrangler, but it's why I've never bought one, because I don't want to be found in some. Honestly, I don't want to be found slammed up against the telephone pole with my corpse surrounded by a bunch of bloody rubber ducks.

[Tom]

Let's all get together and wish me well today.

[Christopher]

Oh, you always wish you well.

[Kevin Harlan]

What's.

[Tom Welling]

Oh, do you have the. Some sort of.

[Tom]

I got the. The blood test today for the physical.

[Tom Welling]

And looking up under the hood and.

[Tom]

So make sure I get the good phlebotomist.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Tom]

For those of you that have ever had blood drawn, there's two types of.

[Tom Welling]

People in this room.

[Tom]

There are good phlebotomists and then the ones that can't find a vein.

[Tom Welling]

Unbelievable.

[Tom]

Let's face it, I've got better veins than your average heroin addict. And I'm just hoping he's got veins.

[Christopher]

Like Iggy Pop over there.

[Tom]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tom Welling]

I'm often remarked. Have you seen his veins? They're Beautiful.

[Tom]

Last time it was a little rough after five tries.

[Christopher]

You're a majestically vascular man.

[Tom]

I'm not a pincushion madam.

[Christopher]

You know, the last time I got blood taken, it was somebody was being trained. The phlebotomist was.

[Kevin Harlan]

Oh, no.

[Christopher]

I was like, oh, here we go. She was the finest phlebotomist I've ever had. I felt nothing. She immediately found the veins. So you just never know.

[Tom]

I was part of a one year study many years ago.

[Christopher]

Before they quit.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

You know what? We're never gonna figure them out. Let's just.

[Tom Welling]

They were. Tell them we're closed.

[Tom]

Every week. Every week I would go, and there were three sort of rotating phlebotomists. And the one was a magician. She would grab your arm and then you could barely feel anything touching. And then. And then there was Draculina.

[Tom Welling]

Hey.

[Tom]

She did not have the.

[Tom Welling]

That seems like. Now, I don't want to speak out of turn, but it seems like that name would be a turn off for phlebotomist. I don't know.

[Tom]

The one lady was she. It was absolutely amazing. It was her great gift. Yeah. But yes. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Christopher]

You ever had a vein quit on you? I was halfway through and she. And all of a sudden my vein just stopped giving blood. She was like, oh, I'm gonna go to the other arm.

[Kevin]

Like what?

[Tom Welling]

I've been told my. My veins not only move out of the way, but they flat.

[Christopher]

Okay.

[Tom Welling]

And I don't know if that's just, you know, excuses that phlebotomist use, but. Yeah, it's kind of a pain to.

[Tom]

Find because I'm an adult baby. I can't look.

[Christopher]

Yeah. I choose not to look. Also.

[Tom Welling]

See, I'm the exact. I have to see it.

[Kevin]

You gotta watch.

[Tom Welling]

And a countdown.

[Christopher]

Yeah, I don't want a countdown or anything. Just do it.

[Kevin Harlan]

Count me in.

[Christopher]

Really?

[Tom]

I try to focus on something else in the room.

[Kevin]

Yeah. Big deep breath in, deep breath out when they put it in.

[Christopher]

Oh, okay. Yeah. I want nothing. Just.

[Tom Welling]

I like to watch it going in. Tom, you know that's. You know what I'm talking about, right? You hear me talking about stuff? Yeah. You like to watch.

[Tom]

You like to hear the nurse go, is it in yet?

[Tom Welling]

I've had that question before.

[Tom]

Now we have, we have. We have gotten the printer working. I. I gave.

[Kevin]

Was the printer.

[Tom Welling]

Nobody likes you here.

[Tom]

No.

[Tom Welling]

Is it really the printer? Was it.

[Kevin]

I. I came in here and I said, look, there's nothing on the Printer right now. And he was like. So it isn't working? I don't know. I didn't watch him hit print.

[Tom Welling]

Wait a minute. So you forget.

[Tom]

No, I hit print. It wasn't there. She waited for quite some time and she left. So I printed it again and it printed four copies. So there's something.

[Christopher]

What are the odds are some Chinese restaurant down the street just getting all these copies?

[Tom]

Wouldn't that be great?

[Tom Welling]

What is. What is Bob and Tom show?

[Tom]

Now the. I'll play the. The important intro to this one more time from Paul and Storm.

[Tom Welling]

Okay.

[Tom]

Three, two.

[Tom Welling]

Don't say the one. No.

[Christopher]

If you want to turn your daddy.

[Tom Welling]

Parts orange, eat some Cheetos and watch some porn.

[Tom]

Okay, Now, Cheetos dust. We've determined it's called. What is it? It's Cheetle.

[Tom Welling]

Like Don Cheadle.

[Tom]

Now here's the story. Go ahead.

[Tom Welling]

The.

[Kevin]

Say goodbye to Cheeto fingers. Cheeto fingers is a slang term for the bright orange powder coated fingertips you get after eating Cheetos. It comes from the cheese flavored dust, officially called Cheadle, that sticks to your skin and is notoriously hard to wipe off. Who wipes it off? Don't you just lick it off?

[Christopher]

It depends on what I'm doing.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Christopher]

It does. If I'm driving in the car, I try to wipe it off.

[Kevin]

Okay.

[Christopher]

If I'm eating them at home, I'll lick.

[Tom Welling]

Did you say a chick was here? Yeah, he's in the corner there sucking on his fingers. He must have had Cheetos.

[Tom]

Yeah, but if you try to wipe it off on a white shirt, it looks like you're wearing a traffic cone.

[Christopher]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

So whatever that stuff is, it is bright.

[Kevin]

Yeah. PepsiCo says it's rolling out a new version of Cheetos and Doritos made with artificial flavors or without. Without artificial flavors or colors.

[Tom Welling]

Boy, Pepsi has got the. That corner, don't they? They have the snack food, they have the soft drink. Yeah, what else do you need in life?

[Kevin]

The company says the reformulated snacks will taste the same, but without the bright telltale orange dust that famously sticks to your fingers.

[Tom]

It's a mistake.

[Kevin]

This is PepsiCo says the cleaner recipe will appear in stores early next year.

[Christopher]

I don't know about this.

[Tom]

Did you see that and did I don't know if I gave you the story with the logo. What's his name? Chester Cheeto. Oh, yeah, it's an albino.

[Christopher]

Now he is Chester Cheetah.

[Tom Welling]

How do we. How do we feel about that punchline?

[Christopher]

I'm sorry, there was a punchline.

[Kevin Harlan]

The term.

[Tom Welling]

We're in repair mode over here. The term albino. Is that. Is that. That's got to be like a negative or insulting.

[Kevin]

I think so.

[Tom]

No, I think condition. There are albino animals all over the. Well, I know the kingdom. There are albino snakes, albino tigers. Albino fish.

[Tom Welling]

Don't go through everything. That's an albino.

[Tom]

I was trying to explain. I'm lowering myself to your level of knowledge.

[Tom Welling]

And let me tell you something I appreciate.

[Christopher]

Doesn't the definition of it about. Don't they also have to have pink eyes? Isn't that part of it?

[Kevin]

Yeah, it's a part of the condition. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom]

The great Edgar Winter.

[Christopher]

I don't think he had pink eyes. He may have had pink eye every now and again.

[Tom]

Edgar Winner, a brilliant musician as was.

[Christopher]

How dare I mention pink guy in the same sentence as Edgar Winter?

[Kevin]

Okay. I don't want my Cheetos to be clean.

[Christopher]

I don't either. I don't want, nor do I want my Doritos.

[Kevin]

No, definitely not Doritos because it's also.

[Christopher]

Something is up chemically that I am suspicious of. If they're doing that.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

They're going to taste the exact same. But they somehow got rid of the powder.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I think this is making somebody in Washington happy. I think that's what this is all about.

[Kevin]

Oh, a dye.

[Tom]

Didn't they have.

[Christopher]

I mean, I'm a paranoid guy. That's crazy paranoid.

[Tom]

Oh, no, no, no, no. They. All these products have to get rid of the dye, right?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

The dye is one thing, the dust is another.

[Kevin]

But. But Doritos does have red dye in it.

[Christopher]

That's fine. But I bet it still does, even without the powder.

[Kevin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

I assume that the Cheetos orange is dye or they wouldn't be getting rid of it. What is it? Red dye number two or something?

[Kevin]

One of them. Yeah.

[Tom]

Was that a little. Wasn't that a lubega song?

[Kevin]

Yes, the story might say that, but the story I have doesn't.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah.

[Christopher]

This makes it sound like it's a convenience thing.

[Kevin]

I think that's how they're spinning it.

[Christopher]

I'm sick of all these assumptions here. The story either said it or it didn't.

[Tom]

Now, if you assume it'll make an ass out of you.

[Christopher]

No.

[Tom Welling]

Which is our goal. I think what you're worried about is that you're thinking all of our stories are based in fact and they're. They are.

[Christopher]

I know this is a tough.

[Tom Welling]

Exactly.

[Kevin]

They're all according to Tom's interpretation.

[Christopher]

Yeah, but also in. Even in the hallways of this building everything is 90% assumption.

[Kevin]

Oh certainly that's because there's no clear communication, right?

[Christopher]

No, no.

[Tom]

I think this is a legitimate news story.

[Tom Welling]

He runs a business like he does his life. He doesn't tell anybody anything.

[Tom]

So what. What do you want to know? See what is not in this story that is. That will make you angry.

[Christopher]

Are they doing it it to remove certain artificial dyes or are they doing it as a convenience thing for hey now you can eat them and not have powder?

[Tom]

I think as. As Ms. Hooker points out. That's their spin on this. They're obviously.

[Christopher]

So we're assuming it's a spin.

[Tom Welling]

Okay, I'll.

[Tom]

Let's bet a hundred dollars.

[Christopher]

You can't bet on something where we'll never know the effing answer.

[Tom Welling]

Why do you always go to that?

[Christopher]

It doesn't make any sense.

[Tom Welling]

Because someone doesn't agree with you. No. Bet me. I'd like to see you in a present.

[Christopher]

I don't like when a rich man wants to bet me money.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah, he's. He's right. Bet me $100. I think you've got a problem. You really jumped to betting real quick.

[Tom]

I have a little light right now. Need some cash?

[Tom Welling]

Yeah. I was going to say now speaking.

[Tom]

Of Cheetle and Cheetos.

[Christopher]

You like them? I know you don't really eat them much.

[Tom]

I don't. I don't eat stuff like that.

[Tom Welling]

Yeah, I don't eat stuff like that.

[Tom]

I know it might be delightful. It's just not my thing. I do like the Cheetle dust on the. On popcorn. I will admit that there is a statue that was dedicated to cheetos in Canada. A 17 foot tall statue of an orange stained hand holding a massive Cheeto puff.

[Christopher]

Weird.

[Tom]

In the town of Cheadle, Alberta. Oh, this is a press release from Cheadle. From Cheetos. Excuse me. They were. They were chosen to receive this honor because of their similarity to the name Cheadle.

[Tom Welling]

Really?

[Christopher]

Fascinating.

[Tom]

Isn't that cool? Giant hand with a.

[Christopher]

That's weird.

[Kevin]

It is weird.

[Christopher]

I would get a picture next to it.

[Tom]

So they. But I mean the.

[Christopher]

The.

[Tom]

The Cheetos people are embracing the Cheetle dust. So now the question is are they going to make some other kind of cheetah dust?

[Christopher]

Yeah. Are they going to make. So can you get original and cheetah list?

[Tom]

Yeah, I don't think so. I'll do my homework and find out for you when we come back.

[Christopher]

How about that? I do not trust your homework.
