Hang on, it's. I got another song idea. Something like CK XY usa. You think Johnny Cooper like that?
Jessica
How about a little CK in the usa?
Ace Cosby
No, they'd never play that on the damn radio.
Jessica
I'm not talking about the radio. Honey, I'm talking about me and you together tonight. You know, like a couple.
Ace Cosby
Oh, yeah, a couple. That reminds me of other song I've been working on for that Johnny Cooper Little Diddy. About John and Diane. No, he'll never sing his own Bills. Not.
Chick McGee
No.
Ace Cosby
You know that clown stole about half my songs.
Chick McGee

Pat Godwin
This has been the guy who would rather write songs than have sex.
Chick McGee
Here's some extra.
Christy Lee
This is Bob and Tom. Extra.
Pat Godwin
Tom. How are you?
Chick McGee
Good. Once again. I'm combobulating over here.
Pat Godwin
I know.
Willie Griswold
Oh, good for you.
Chick McGee
Trying to get organized. We got a lot going on. Very excited about today's show. A couple. We have a couple. One actual serious thing we have to discuss.
Willie Griswold
Oh, what's that?
Chick McGee
Involves tuna. Oh, yeah. My favorite. One of my absolute favorites.
Willie Griswold
Tuna noodle casserole.
Chick McGee
Tuna noodle casserole?
Willie Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
My mom would make it with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Yeah, you make the noodles, you put it and to can it.
Pat Godwin
She was much of a cook.
Chick McGee
I know she was a good cook, but this was one of those.
Pat Godwin
Go to.
Josh Arnold
That's. That is a.
Chick McGee
And then feel good.
Pat Godwin
Sounds to me like she was busy with her lover.
Willie Griswold
Did she do the potato chips on top?
Chick McGee
She did not. You told me about that.
Willie Griswold
I like potato chips.
Josh Arnold
My mom did some kind of crispy crumble, but it was not potato chips.
Chick McGee
Have you seen the thing where they take the Burn Somatic torch and they. Yeah, that's cool.
Pat Godwin
My mom used to ash her cigarette in the tuna casserole. Shut up and eat it.
Chick McGee
What?
Pat Godwin
She'd say, yeah, man, okay, I made that up. But.
Chick McGee
But that's really kind of.
Pat Godwin
It seems on brand.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah. That's the thing. Yeah. Your childhood and my childhood, vastly different.
Pat Godwin
Very different.
Chick McGee
You'll like it. Ergo, you're gonna love it. Smoky flavor. Ergo, my snotty countenance and your.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he's working with a Burn Somatic over there.
Chick McGee
Your defeated everyman.
Pat Godwin
Look, I'm used to being in this position. Yes, but.
Chick McGee
Tuna noodle casserole, one of my favorites.
Josh Arnold
Great comfort food.
Pat Godwin
What is the story? What's the problem?
Chick McGee
Well, serious.
Willie Griswold
Hold on. I didn't know we were going there.
Josh Arnold
You don't see it at restaurants, really, do you?
Chick McGee
No.
Willie Griswold
You don't?
Chick McGee
No. For a reason No, I would. You know something? I would go to a restaurant if they did nothing but great stuff like meatloaf, tuna noodle casserole.
Josh Arnold
Did you have peas in yours?
Willie Griswold
No, no.
Chick McGee
But I love peas in the side. I'm a huge peas fan, but I do not like pea soup.
Pat Godwin
What about the peanut butter and jelly or bologna sandwich and a bottle of champagne for.
Chick McGee
No, that's for like 300 bucks or something. That was really hip about 20 years ago. And I don't. I'm not a champagne person, but I.
Willie Griswold
They could call it Mom's Kitchen or something.
Chick McGee
Someone's probably tried it. But I would, like. I would go there.
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Tuna noodle cancer.
Josh Arnold
What?
Pat Godwin
They had that at Cracker Barrel.
Willie Griswold
Tuna noodle casserole. They might. You know what?
Chick McGee
That would be the place.
Pat Godwin
No, we're missing it. They have it. The Cheesecake Factory. Because cheese, they have everything.
Chick McGee
That's true.
Willie Griswold
Yeah. Yeah. I thought they had it at our cafeteria every now and then, but I could be wrong.
Chick McGee
Oh, really?
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I don't know.
Willie Griswold
Several brands of canned tuna have been recalled over botulism concerns. According to the U.S. food and Drug Administration, triunion seafoods were called Certain Lots of tuna. Sold under the Genova Bandcamps, H E B and Trader Joe brand names. The tuna was sold at stores including Trader Joe's, Costco, H E B Harris, Teeter, Publix, Kroger, Safeway, Walmart, and some independent stores and services.
Pat Godwin
Hang on a second. Our resident. He's worrying about his health. Hypochondriac Pat Godwin would like to. As he. Christy, was reading that story. Pat is convinced he's eaten this tuna and is dying right now.
Willie Griswold
The company, Trader Joe's Tuna.
Josh Arnold
Well, it's a certain.
Willie Griswold
It's a certain Geneva.
Chick McGee
A certain lot. So you need to go online and look up the lot.
Willie Griswold
The company said the lids on the Easy Open cans may have a manufacturing defect that could cause the products to leak or to become contaminated with the bacteria that causes botulism.
Chick McGee
Okay, it's quiz time. I predict chick might get this.
Willie Griswold
Botulism.
Chick McGee
No, no, no. Botulism became famous because of a canned food product.
Pat Godwin
See, I can't remember, but when you say it, I will remember.
Willie Griswold
Canned food product.
Pat Godwin
Bumblebee tuna. No.
Chick McGee
Soup, right? Yes. Tomato soup. I think it was Vichy.
Pat Godwin
I think it was Bon vivant.
Willie Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
I think you're something like that. Yeah, but that's when I first heard the term botulism. And then the next time I heard botulism, it was involving Botox injections.
Willie Griswold
Yep, that's right. That's what you put in your face, friend.
Chick McGee
Because it's essentially the same thing, right?
Willie Griswold
It's exactly the same poison.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah. So that's got to be really good for you. In any event, if you have any canned tuna from any of these places.
Willie Griswold
The Easy Open cans, if your can is sealed. Did you need a can?
Chick McGee
Yeah, just. You can go online and it'll tell you what lot numbers. Etc. Etc.
Josh Arnold
Ace would smack me in the face if he knew what I paid for my can.
Chick McGee
Same here. Well.
Josh Arnold
Oh, dude. I'm like a.
Willie Griswold
Do you get it in the.
Josh Arnold
It's like a four to six dollar can of two Wild Wild Planet.
Willie Griswold
Is it in the olive oil? That. That one or water?
Josh Arnold
So, yeah, sometimes water.
Pat Godwin
Have you tried the. The pouches? The Easy Open pouches?
Chick McGee
I love the pouches.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, the Starkist makes the great. And they'll even make tuna salad pouches. Oh yeah, those are.
Chick McGee
I like the pouches. Then I pretend it's chewing tobacco and I dip in. Reach in.
Josh Arnold
That's a good. That's a good gag.
Pat Godwin
You do that with tuna?
Chick McGee
Yeah, of course.
Willie Griswold
That's great for your breath.
Chick McGee
If you have. If you do have one of these cans, you're not going. Do not eat it. You'll have to have a plan. Bumblebee.
Pat Godwin
See, now everybody's going to think it's bumblebee tuna. It's not. It' that's my fault.
Chick McGee
No, that's your plan. Bumblebee.
Pat Godwin
Bumblebee. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Okay. Okay. Very good. Now we have a tuna tribute coming up in a matter of moments.
Pat Godwin
We've got an update on the super bowl ratings. Would you like to hear it or you want to read letters? What do you want to do?
Chick McGee
Let's do our letters. And we have a. We are working on a special letters theme song. But until we get one, we're going to use this one. Ladies and gentlemen, from the Bob and Town program, we have letters to read. Chick McGee will begin as we go to our email bag. Bob and tom@bobandtom.com Mr. McGee, drag a little bit.
Pat Godwin
I don't.
Chick McGee
I. I told you it's a temporary song. Shut up.
Pat Godwin
They didn't give me any letters. Oh, wait a minute. Hello, folks. This is from Craig. I would not it. Can we hear that? Yeah, that's temporary.
Chick McGee
Really get you going.
Pat Godwin
See, you do this sometimes. You think so much and then you think yourself out of anything.
Chick McGee
I like that. Long pause. I don't know what. This works. It's Our special music.
Pat Godwin
I mean, I like it, but there's no word of correspondence or.
Chick McGee
No, I told you, this is Letters. We're not good. I've got a whole thing I'm working on. We got Letters. This is just.
Willie Griswold
He's over producing something Chick.
Pat Godwin
You know, it just struck me we're only getting this part of this song. Can you imagine him over trying to have someone record this?
Chick McGee
No, no, we're doing a whole new. This is. This is part of an old fake commercial.
Willie Griswold
How many people are singing on it?
Chick McGee
27. 1.
Willie Griswold
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
Yeah. Who is it? What? I get fired all of a sudden? I'm looking for a specific. Oh, someone with a really good voice. No, Pat, you have an excellent.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much.
Chick McGee
Very good range. It's just the particular. What's the word I'm looking for? Timber.
Pat Godwin
You know, I like this part. Why didn't you play this?
Chick McGee
Yeah. Start off with this part.
Pat Godwin
Why'd you turn it off?
Chick McGee
Then a long pause in the beginning. Hey, Jason, can you edit this? So you just get to this tinkly part to keep.
Josh Arnold
Can you edit this last 5 minutes out of any replay of the show?
Tom Griswold
Ye again.
Chick McGee
What is it? Snappy. Pat, I'm looking for something.
Pat Godwin
Hello, friends.
Chick McGee
It's going to be better late.
Pat Godwin
It's going to be.
Chick McGee
My feelings are. No, it's. It's. It involves socioethnic, racial.
Josh Arnold
It was a black guy.
Chick McGee
God.
Josh Arnold
He'S so afraid of being racist.
Chick McGee
That was great.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Oh yeah.
Tom Griswold
We do that again.
Chick McGee
We don't have our letters down. Down by the Mississippi. Mark Twain.
Willie Griswold
I loved it.
Pat Godwin
This is from Craig.
Chick McGee
Hello.
Pat Godwin
People from experience, I would not advise beer can shooters. Are we talking about beer can?
Willie Griswold
Yeah, Remember from the Bud Light?
Chick McGee
In the Bud Light commercial, Peyton Manning. And who's the comedian?
Josh Arnold
Shane Gillis.
Chick McGee
Shane Gillis. And the guy with the tattoos on his face? Post Malone. By the way, I. When I hear the name Post Malone, I thought it was a documentary about Ted Danson after leaving Cheers.
Willie Griswold
Fair enough.
Chick McGee
Very nice.
Ace Cosby
That was good.
Chick McGee
Yes, much better.
Pat Godwin
The intro, I've not personally seen it or used one, but we do toss beers to friends in the lake. One year there was a longer than usual toss and the guy in the water tried to catch it. The skin between his thumb and first finger fillet open. He needed stitches, but he was 21 years old. He poured whiskey on it, wrapped a paper towel around it and party said.
Chick McGee
Probably a legend now at the lake party. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I wonder how that happened.
Pat Godwin
I don't know.
Josh Arnold
I've hit A guy in the face I have with.
Chick McGee
With a beer can.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Really? He wasn't looking.
Josh Arnold
He goes, hey, Arnold, bear me. Or whatever cooler, sort of underhand, tossed him the beer, hit him in the face. He fell off the deck rail.
Chick McGee
Hey, Arnold, I didn't say knock me out. I said beer me.
Pat Godwin
You should have raised your arms, and there you go.
Tom Griswold
What the hell?
Chick McGee
Brian, let me get this right. So you were drinking and boating at the same time?
Josh Arnold
No, this was a deck, not a deck rail on a boat.
Chick McGee
No, but still.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I am reasonably certain that that was one of the big things that I first started drinking, was shooting beers.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Pat Godwin
Now you open the hole in the bottom.
Chick McGee
If you didn't see the commercial.
Josh Arnold
Shotgun.
Chick McGee
It looks like these guys, they're having this end of the cul de sac party. And it's very funny. The setup on it.
Pat Godwin
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
It sounds like it essentially have potato guns, but they're using them for beer cans.
Chick McGee
Yeah, but they look like it's like a T shirt cannon. Yeah, but it looks like a leaf blower. That's the gag.
Pat Godwin
Oh.
Chick McGee
Like this spontaneous thing.
Josh Arnold
They made it. Gotcha.
Chick McGee
Gotcha. And I'm sure if someone. If this doesn't exist, someone has been tinkering with a leaf blower and some kind of air cannon for the last 48 hours. Building one. It would be quite dangerous. But hilarious.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
But I believe Christy pointed out, wouldn't the bear be all. Wouldn't the beer be all fuzzy? Christy, the point is, it's guys, they want to take the beer and shoot it at their buddy and probably hurt him.
Willie Griswold
There you go.
Pat Godwin
I shot a potato gun into Lake Mead after a night in Vegas.
Willie Griswold
Did you really?
Pat Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Willie Griswold
You had a potato gun just handy in Vegas.
Pat Godwin
No, we brought it out there with us. It seemed like I was happy. Then I don't know what happened.
Chick McGee
Who'd you go out there with?
Pat Godwin
I don't. I can't really say.
Josh Arnold
That wasn't the reason.
Chick McGee
We had a potato gun here. And then when we found out that sometimes they explode in your face.
Jim Jackson
Yeah.
Willie Griswold
Wasn't Ted Nugent involved with that? Didn't we? Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
Ted.
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
My favorite was, though, when. When Ted played his guitar. That was great. And I'm sorry. So we're off topic.
Pat Godwin
Here's a cat scratch fever. Hang on. Oh, it's Skinner time. Yeah. I got. Did I get you?
Josh Arnold
I was ready for catch crack.
Chick McGee
Oh, me too. Wait a minute. Don't.
Pat Godwin
Wait.
Chick McGee
Don't. You have. You have my favorite guitar solo of All Time Journey to the center of the Mind.
Josh Arnold
Here it is.
Chick McGee
Nude at the Amboy Dukes. Here, play it.
Pat Godwin
Here it comes.
Chick McGee
Here it comes.
Pat Godwin
There it is. Oh, wait a minute.
Chick McGee
That's Skinner. This is.
Pat Godwin
This will always be Skinner. And Saturday Night Special.
Chick McGee
Lot going on there.
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Three. Three Guitar Army.
Josh Arnold
Who's that now? Who's that?
Pat Godwin
That's Ronnie. Yeah, that's. Yeah. Well, Ronnie held a broken lamp up to his neck.
Chick McGee
Oh. You know, he didn't want it to. As Chick pointed out, he was a California boy and the rest of them were, you know, Jacksonville. Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I watched that Skinner documentary again yesterday. It's about three hours long, and it reminded me a lot of me and.
Chick McGee
Actually the fighting involved.
Pat Godwin
So the last time the guy held a broken layup up against the other guy's neck. And that was. He quit, went home.
Chick McGee
You didn't cross Ronnie. Yeah, I heard that. Yeah. Let's move forward. No, Chick McGee got me a nice Cleveland Browns cap.
Willie Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Good.
Chick McGee
And the thing about being a Browns fan, first of all, the fact that they have a horrific rapist on their team, that's a problem. But also really.
Pat Godwin
It really hit the ear.
Chick McGee
I'm tired of dancing around this stuff. These NFL players that are criminals.
Pat Godwin
He won't be back.
Chick McGee
He won't. They take all this.
Pat Godwin
They found a. They found a loophole.
Jim Jackson
You know what?
Josh Arnold
I kind of hope they take all this money, too.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Willie Griswold
Moral clauses.
Chick McGee
I think it's called moral turpitude. I used. I used turpitude to clean my paintbrushes. What I was saying was the other problem with being a Browns fan, other than the fact that they haven't won since the great era of Dr. Frank Ryan, Jim Brown and Gary Collins.
Pat Godwin
Only you would mention Frank Ryan before Jim Brown, but go ahead.
Chick McGee
Well, he was their quarterback. He was a distinct.
Pat Godwin
Go ahead.
Chick McGee
I read somewhere that he hasn't watched a football game since he retired.
Pat Godwin
And I'm sure he would not speak to you about anything if you guys met.
Josh Arnold
Can't keep his head.
Chick McGee
PhD. Where was I?
Pat Godwin
Oh, he can't put a thought together.
Chick McGee
The brown's colors are just awful.
Willie Griswold
Yeah, orange and brown.
Pat Godwin
No, no, they're classic.
Josh Arnold
I think they're classic, too.
Pat Godwin
They get a pass.
Chick McGee
No, they're awful. And then I heard a thing over the weekend that this year's color is yellow. So look, yellow blows. Hate. I hate yellow clothing. Oh, it's some fashionista saying everything's going to be yellow.
Willie Griswold
Oh, for spring.
Chick McGee
Not with me it's not.
Josh Arnold
You hate yellow.
Chick McGee
You know, how do you hate yellow. It's easy. I don't like.
Josh Arnold
I am curious.
Willie Griswold
It's a creepy color. It's brings sunshine and joy to people.
Chick McGee
Maybe you'll get the stretch of the day. Someone was saying for the. For the kids musical. Yeah, for the, like, fifth graders. Like, what's the musical this year? And I said, it's Oak Calcutta. And nobody got it. See, Oak Elk Cutter had, like, full frontal nudity. Big time. Who's the famous TV actor that actually was McLean Stevens on Broadway. Of that ilk on. In oak. I don't know. But with full frontal. I'll think of it.
Josh Arnold
EG Marshall.
Chick McGee
Oh, he was too old.
Willie Griswold
You hate yellow. Color of pee. Is that why?
Chick McGee
No, I just. I just don't think it looks good.
Josh Arnold
In p. Well, here's the deal, though. That hat does look really good on you.
Chick McGee
It's khaki, so it's okay.
Pat Godwin
It matches.
Chick McGee
Yeah, man. Perfect.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Thank you, Chad. That pink thing had to go. No, I have a bunch of the pink. Well, that doesn't make any sense for Tom. What do you mean? It's a nice. That's nice. This is a super lightweight, and it's from a company that turns sailboats into luggage and stuff. Sailing the sails from sailboats. You are really luggage. Just a raving sailboat luggage.
Pat Godwin
You are just a pit of conversation style.
Chick McGee
Just a second. It is the most. Excuse me. My carryon was a scooter around. It is the man.
Willie Griswold
The rudder valet.
Chick McGee
Excuse me, It's. I meant to say the sales from. It is the most pretentious 1 percenter form of recycling. Good. It's like. Well, we only. We only recycle the bottles. The bottles from Perrier. They take sails from sailboats and they. And they turn them into, like. For example, my Dopp kit is True Heroes All. Yes, as I said, it is. It is the most lofty, pretentious, ivory flowery recycling of all time.
Willie Griswold
Oh, my God.
Pat Godwin
But I like it.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Hey. Yes, I like sailboats. Sue me. If it weren't for sailboats, I'd be cutting my own lawn. Wait a minute.
Ace Cosby
Oh, my God.
Chick McGee
God, even Ace with an oh, nobody could take a joke. You know, I wasn't the captain of that.
Josh Arnold
John, when you and I are both canceled, we'll start our own show.
Chick McGee
Everybody's got a. Lighten up a little bit. Sailboats in the luggage. You ever been on a sailboat patch? Yes.
Pat Godwin
Can we do anything else? You know, what happened to the letter segment? What happened to that?
Josh Arnold
Have you been on a sailboat A sailboat? No, I've never been. It seems like a galaxy.
Pat Godwin
I've been forced to hang out with people who have sailboats.
Chick McGee
Evidently it's not relaxing, I'll tell you that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it seems like they're constantly scrambling.
Chick McGee
Back and forth, you know? Do you know 4mph? Do you want to know something? I don't want to know anything. Chick. One of your favorites. A man of import to history. Robert Oppenheimer was an expert sailor.
Pat Godwin
Of course he was. He was an elitist prick too.
Chick McGee
That's right. That's right. He was an elitist prick. I only wish he could be at the meetings now, but he's deceased.
Pat Godwin
Yeshiva got a death. Ask him.
Chick McGee
Robert Oppenheimer was an excellent horseman and sailor. And he had great luggage.
Pat Godwin
And the worst cocktail party continues, by the way.
Willie Griswold
Thirdly, he made great cocktails.
Chick McGee
That's no joke. In the book they talk about, Robert Oppenheimer loved to have people over and he would try to get them drunk. But he was one of those guys who would make expert cocktails and had all the measurements.
Pat Godwin
Jerk. I'm going to get my friends drunk.
Chick McGee
So it'll be stupid.
Pat Godwin
What a dick.
Josh Arnold
I do not want. For those who didn't hear it, Tom looked at Chick and said, do you want to know something? And Chick said, no, I don't want to know anything.
Pat Godwin
And by the way, so far, so good.

The BOB & TOM Show Free Podcast - B&T Extra: Tuna, Letters, a Potato Gun, & Skynyrd
Release Date: April 3, 2025
Hosts: Tom Griswold, Chick McGee, Pat Godwin, Willie Griswold, Ace Cosby, Josh Arnold
1. Tuna Noodle Casserole and Tuna Recalls
The episode delves into a serious discussion about tuna noodle casserole, a nostalgic favorite for many listeners. Chick McGee reminisces about his mother's recipe, highlighting the classic combination of noodles and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. However, the conversation takes a critical turn as Willie Griswold brings up recent concerns regarding tuna recalls.
Willie Griswold [06:21]: "Several brands of canned tuna have been recalled over botulism concerns. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, certain lots of tuna sold under Genova, H-E-B, and Trader Joe's brand names may be contaminated."
Chick McGee underscores the importance of consumer awareness, urging listeners to check lot numbers online to avoid affected products.
Chick McGee [08:06]: "If you have any canned tuna from any of these places, do not eat it. You'll have to have a plan. Bumblebee."
The hosts also engage in light-hearted banter about the infamous term "botulism," sharing anecdotes and clarifying misconceptions related to its association with Botox.
2. Listener Letters Segment
Transitioning from the tuna topic, the show opens up to listener interactions. Chick McGee attempts to introduce the "Letters" segment, albeit humorously struggling with a temporary theme song.
Chick McGee [09:12]: "Ladies and gentlemen, from the Bob and Tom program, we have letters to read."
However, technical hiccups and playful exchanges between Pat Godwin and Chick McGee add a layer of comedy to the segment.
One notable letter comes from a listener named Craig, who shares a humorous take on beer can shooters, sparking a lively discussion among the hosts.
3. Potato Guns and Beer Can Shooters
The conversation shifts to the dangers and antics associated with potato guns, a topic that intertwines childhood memories with adult mishaps. Pat Godwin recounts an incident involving a potato gun that led to injuries, emphasizing the potential risks of such devices.
Pat Godwin [14:06]: "I shot a potato gun into Lake Mead after a night in Vegas. He poured whiskey on it, wrapped a paper towel around it, and partied."
Chick McGee and Willie Griswold join in, sharing their own experiences and cautionary tales about the misuse of potato guns and beer can shooters, blending humor with safety reminders.
Chick McGee [13:52]: "We had a potato gun here, and then when we found out that sometimes they explode in your face."
The hosts humorously discuss the impracticality and potential dangers of modifying everyday items like leaf blowers into makeshift air cannons, highlighting the thin line between fun and folly.
4. Commentary on the Cleveland Browns and NFL Player Conduct
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to the Cleveland Browns, with Chick McGee expressing his frustrations as a fan. The discussion touches upon the team's lack of success since the era of legendary players like Jim Brown and Gary Collins.
Chick McGee [16:31]: "The Browns haven't won since the great era of Dr. Frank Ryan, Jim Brown, and Gary Collins."
