Tom Griswold
Who cut the cheese? Who cut the cheese?
Chris
Oh, man, oh, man.
Tom Griswold
Hey, who cut the cheese? Now some more Bob and Tom. This is Bob and Tom.
Josh Arnold
Extra.
Tom Griswold
Letters, Letters.
Bob Kevoian
We'll grab some of the. Some of our mail here. Apparently there was a moment on yesterday's show there was some confusion about song. This is comes to us from TS who points out that every time he sends an email I mentioned T.S. eliot.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, makes sense.
Bob Kevoian
Born in St. Louis, I believe. Famous American poet. He said, I Every time you read my name, you always mention T.S. elliott. So I finally had to look him up because I had no idea who he was. Oh, in a weird way, probably most famous for the Broadway show Cats being based on his one of his odd little side things, but more importantly, the wasteland or the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
Tom Griswold
It's long hair stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Better self reading that today. It's a little thick. He goes, my new favorite line from the show yesterday. Someone said, I believe this may have been Chick McGee. That's nice. Excuse me, I want to get the line right.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
That's not the right guitar man, you idiot.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, guitar man. I think that was you.
Chick McGee
Well, no, maybe it was me.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Maybe it was because the Jerry Reed version.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
There's a great Elvis song, Guitar man, that has Jerry Reed on guitar. Yeah. And I think that was added after the fact, actually.
Kristi Lee
Well, we were talking about Guitar man from Bread.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Chick McGee
He was fishing and they found him fishing. And he came in the studio.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. This is the. This is the Elvis goodbye note.
Tom Griswold
My son and I left Kingston with.
Bob Kevoian
My guitar under my coat.
Tom Griswold
I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis.
Bob Kevoian
Here comes Grace, Jerry. It's amazing.
Tom Griswold
Jerry was very good.
Chick McGee
His guitar player couldn't do that. So somebody said, get the guy who played it and wrote it, Jerry Reed. They found him fishing, like, a day later. He came in and his waiters and played the. Played the guitar.
Bob Kevoian
Wow. What? He was right. Now, I love that Tim Wilson song also. Maybe we can dig that up.
Tom Griswold
I was going to say I spent, I don't know, it seemed like four days in a car once with Tim Wilson. Told me everything I wanted to know about Jerry Reed. I feel like I've studied, had a Jerry Reed course.
Bob Kevoian
And Jerry Reed is, I. I think, most famous for.
Tom Griswold
Oh, Smoking the Bandit.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He's the snowman. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Him and Fred in the. In the. In the semi.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But hang on to your ass, Fred. A beagle Fred.
Kristi Lee
That's right.
Bob Kevoian
And. And we were discussing the song Guitar man, but you are actually talking about the one. Is that a David Gates?
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't think David Gates had but one hit as David Gates. And I forget what it was right now. I'd have to think.
Kristi Lee
I'll look it up.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
He. Bro.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he went solo egomaniac. And it didn't go well, other than one song, I think.
Bob Kevoian
And. But we got into this discussion and Josh made an interesting point, a critical point that I. And I admired very much. I believe it involves another band known as Air Supply. Do you recall your. Your thought?
Josh Arnold
Yes. The first time Air Supply heard Bread, they said, who are these pussies?
Kristi Lee
He did Goodbye Girl.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Oh, okay.
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
With Richard Dreyfuss successful single as a solo artist.
Bob Kevoian
I love that movie.
Kristi Lee
That's a good movie.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's a great. Yeah, yeah. Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Where he plays Richard iii.
Tom Griswold
I don't really remember it.
Bob Kevoian
And the guy from. I heard somebody, the Jeffersons is the director. He's terrible.
Tom Griswold
I guess Richard Dreyfus was absolutely impossible on the set. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
Is it Marsha Mason?
Bob Kevoian
Who? Yeah. Marcia Mason.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Mrs.
Bob Kevoian
So long since I've seen That, but. Well, thank you very much for the letter, Tim, and I'm glad we've enlightened you about T.S. eliot and. But T.S. by the way, his actual name is Tim. Thank you very much. Now, I thought we'd play a little short thing from Tim Wilson. For those of you familiar with Jerry Reed, I think you'll enjoy this.
Chris
Married a woman talk like Jerry Reed. God just didn't bless her with the vocal cords she needs. She looks like Cindy Crawford but that ain't the way she sounds when we make love I keep here in Eastbound and down I work 60 hours a week and I bring home my check and she says, son, you got to take me out somewhere and throw some groceries down my neck. So I took her to a fancy restaurant she looked down her nose and said, now why don't we stop at a choke and puke for some grilled cheese sandwiches? I married a woman Talk like Jerry Reed ought to be on the COVID Playboy. Cause that buddy's garin. She talks just like that guitar man that crawled out of a swamp. Thataloosiana low won't save you, son When I knock you in the head with a stomp she thinks my name is Amos when she ain't calling me son Amos. Son, I'm under stress. Let's go somewhere there's fun. So I flew her to Europe and I spent 10,000 bucks she told me I'd have had more fun thumbing a ride on an overloaded poultry truck.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, so good.
Chris
Love songs.
Bob Kevoian
Little tribute to Jerry Reed. Think of him, John.
Tom Griswold
Throw some groceries down my neck.
Josh Arnold
We were inquiring about the tallest listener we might have.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah. I think we got up to 6. 9.
Josh Arnold
Well, this may beat it.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Good morning, everyone. I'm the tallest listener at 8.
Tom Griswold
3.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, come on.
Tom Griswold
Believe him.
Josh Arnold
When I'm able to find an open WI Fi and stay hidden, I will listen for hours. Your biggest fan, Sasquatch from the Pacific Northwest.
Tom Griswold
Well, there you go.
Josh Arnold
So I think that contest is over.
Bob Kevoian
With this kind of credibility, we should be doing a political show.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom. My son had a Tom can't find the word moment. We need to come up with a name for that. Tom Malaprop. Tom Malaprop.
Bob Kevoian
Whatever. No, it's. You create words. When you can't think of something, you.
Tom Griswold
I guess Tom speaks.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, a quick description of it.
Tom Griswold
My son was about 5 years old or watching a parade. Many antique cars were passing by, and one car in particular was driven by a man wearing a cowboy hat. My son exclaimed look at that man wearing a horsey helmet.
Sports Announcer
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Perfectly valid.
Tom Griswold
Randy from Kentucky. Perfectly valid. All right. How's your cowboy hat coming?
Bob Kevoian
Wore to a soccer game yesterday.
Tom Griswold
You did? Right there on the sidelines.
Bob Kevoian
Yep.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
I wore the.
Kristi Lee
The straw one because it's still warm. Check local.
Tom Griswold
Did anybody come up and say, hey, what's going on? Text or anything like that?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, of course.
Tom Griswold
And then I.
Bob Kevoian
Then I. But it's a really easy way to shut them down when you explain. Well, skin cancer.
Tom Griswold
Oh. Well.
Bob Kevoian
Even though I only have the basil, something shuts them right up.
Josh Arnold
What a rocking tour.
Chick McGee
Great conversation.
Bob Kevoian
No, I. I don't know anything about horses, but, you know, I. I'm.
Tom Griswold
Tom has a common to. He really knows how to connect with people. Kennedy had it.
Chick McGee
And same with C. In a conversation.
Tom Griswold
You feel bad now I could have cancer, huh? Go suck it, pal. Okay.
Bob Kevoian
Just warning people out there, you got to be careful. Stay out of the sun.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and top show. I can't believe you guys talked about Joey Butafuko the other day.
Josh Arnold
Either can I?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I couldn't either. I'm with you.
Tom Griswold
Without having Christy Lee do her fabulous Mary Jo. But a Fuko impersonation?
Kristi Lee
Not doing that. That's.
Josh Arnold
What did it sound like?
Tom Griswold
Well, remember the story is that Amy came over to the Buttafuocos because she was in love with Joey.
Kristi Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
And Mary Jo answered the door, and Amy shot her in the face.
Josh Arnold
Right. Right.
Sports Announcer
There.
Bob Kevoian
Are these people all still alone?
Tom Griswold
Mary Jo had a go. Funny jaw after that. Because you get shot in the face, your jaw's not gonna go back.
Josh Arnold
I don't know who's around still and who isn't.
Tom Griswold
That wasn't neither.
Bob Kevoian
Slimy ugliness.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that was. That was requested by Ramon in Orlando, Florida.
Bob Kevoian
We had a lot of lives from Ramon.
Tom Griswold
Ramon's a good man.
Kristi Lee
Both Joey and Mary Jo are still alive.
Bob Kevoian
Are they still together?
Kristi Lee
No. Oh, I don't believe so. No. He was.
Tom Griswold
Well. And Amy must be out there somewhere.
Chick McGee
She's doing some movies.
Kristi Lee
He remarried to someone else. Ivanka. He married an Ivanka?
Bob Kevoian
Okay, now is.
Tom Griswold
Man, I'd. I'd give a thousand dollars if that was Ivanka Trump. I don't know. Why would that be so. Weir would be unbelievable.
Bob Kevoian
No, no, I think it would be believable, kind of. That could. That could have happened. Did. Did she go to prison?
Chick McGee
I think she did.
Tom Griswold
Of course, Amy did serve some time.
Kristi Lee
Both of them did. Didn't he go for a year or so?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He ran a body Shop. Remember that?
Bob Kevoian
But if you shoot somebody, he's married.
Kristi Lee
To a guy named Lou.
Bob Kevoian
Shoot somebody in the face. I think maybe jail might be appropriate for a while. What do you think? Yeah, you shot me in the face, dummy.
Josh Arnold
Steve Bumi.
Tom Griswold
Square? Are we square?
Kristi Lee
She wrote a book.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, I missed that one. Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Amy or Mary Jo?
Kristi Lee
Amy Fisher. My story.
Tom Griswold
Well, you know what?
Josh Arnold
We shouldn't say anything until we get her sign.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, that's right.
Tom Griswold
Might be the great American novel. You don't know?
Josh Arnold
We never know.
Bob Kevoian
Back to our letters. This is from Michael. I've been listening since the last century. What we used to call the 1900s. I remember those days.
Tom Griswold
Punk.
Bob Kevoian
Wi fi. I was a marine station at Camp Pendleton, California.
Tom Griswold
All right, we'll have to tell Han when he gets here.
Bob Kevoian
My buddy and I were out drinking. We wound up in a fight in the parking lot.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Bob Kevoian
Ultimately, I knocked the guy out cold in the process. He broke my nose. We got back in my buddy's car and left. I started sneezing uncontrollably. There was blood everywhere. His wife was not too happy about the car.
Sports Announcer
Oh, man.
Tom Griswold
I can't imagine that was the letter.
Bob Kevoian
What's it like? We were talking about exciting sneeze stories.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I threw my sneeze story away because it was so disgusting, I couldn't read it.
Bob Kevoian
I was in my ninth grade science class, dead quiet, taking a test. A girl in our class started out a so called wind up sneeze.
Josh Arnold
That's the one. Classic.
Tom Griswold
I've never done that.
Bob Kevoian
She did the and released a massive fart.
Josh Arnold
I love when that.
Bob Kevoian
The whole class was laughing. She had to go out in the hall. Every time they tried to bring her back to take the test, the laughter started again. They finally made her take the test in the hallway. Wow.
Tom Griswold
Eric.
Bob Kevoian
Eric. Thank you.
Tom Griswold
This is an actual Tom Griswold sneeze recorded live one morning.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, whoa.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, That's a big one.
Bob Kevoian
I've had better ones than that. I believe I was recording some commercials behind my back.
Tom Griswold
No, I think the recording device was down the hallway, and it just happened to pick ambient sound from the. From the room.
Chick McGee
Led Zeppelin drum session.
Tom Griswold
You can hear you sneezing out on the Dear Bob and Tom Show. You never did get around to playing Bread's Baby I' Ma want you.
Bob Kevoian
Now, this is a song that both Josh and I despise because it's the. The Lawrence Welk delivery. A one and a two. Baby, I'm a fits.
Tom Griswold
The flavor, the melody, the feeling. I' Ma want you.
Bob Kevoian
Is he talking to a baby?
Chick McGee
Listen to that voice.
Bob Kevoian
If I said. If I said, baby, I' ma want you to. Kelly, I would. I wouldn't have time to pack a suitcase.
Tom Griswold
I might have. Isn't this my house, too?
Sports Announcer
Boom.
Josh Arnold
I don't want to know the woman who wants to be talked to that way.
Kristi Lee
If you grew up at a certain.
Josh Arnold
Time.
Kristi Lee
That you would slow down.
Tom Griswold
These days, I just. I want to be around if either one of you ever are. Just true love kicks you right between them.
Josh Arnold
Nothing has ever sucked harder than that song.
Tom Griswold
That's an amazing, wonderful one.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom Griswold
What do you mean? It's wonderful right from the start. You never question that.
Bob Kevoian
What chord is that? Is that a C, as in crap?
Tom Griswold
I hope everyone heard. Josh's already garbage right out of the gate.
Bob Kevoian
And it's got the sappy strings that kick in there at the end.
Kristi Lee
You guys don't have a heart.
Josh Arnold
Are you kidding me?
Bob Kevoian
I.
Josh Arnold
You know, I probably love romance more in this room. 20 years behind Christy, I'm. I think I'm the most romantic.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I'm gonna. We'll each give you. We'll get it. 20 bucks each?
Kristi Lee
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
If you say this to anyone in the next month, how are we going to check that you are? Josh. He's the most honest of any of them.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Bob Kevoian
So I want you in some situation.
Sports Announcer
Without.
Bob Kevoian
Without being sarcastic to say, baby, I'm a want you while. While horizontal. So this could be an encounter with some.
Chick McGee
She goes, baby, I'm a leaving Nobody.
Tom Griswold
Nobody. When that song was popular, nobody thought, what the hell is that?
Chick McGee
You never questioned it at all.
Tom Griswold
I can't wait for that song to come on again. I love that song.
Bob Kevoian
And you know my point of view on lyrics. I think Papa Umau MAU are perfectly valid lyrics. Baby, I'mma want you. No, Sorry.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think Brett had, like, 10 number one hits.
Josh Arnold
I'm not saying they weren't popular.
Bob Kevoian
I'm not great. Those guys were all session guys.
Tom Griswold
Whatever. I know there's some sort of seedy underbelly that you want to ruin bread for me. It's fine.
Bob Kevoian
Wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
It's okay.
Bob Kevoian
Ruin bread?
Tom Griswold
I love bread.
Chick McGee
I do, too. Brett's Greatest Hits, man. On the way to Wildwood, New Jersey, one summer.
Tom Griswold
Damn right I played it over. Well, you know, I don't know if you know this or not, but David Gates. Well, he only had a penis. I'm not sure if you knew that.
Chick McGee
That's Carol and Bakes cut off in a bread box.
Tom Griswold
Well, they they wanted to have five.
Bob Kevoian
Letters so it could be wordle. The original name of the band was suck. What? I want to make it with you. I hate. This is even worse.
Chick McGee
Just keeps coming.
Bob Kevoian
Remember when make make it meant make. Hey, you want to make it net sex. It was so disgusting. And there was this song. Making it.
Tom Griswold
Really, really reaching out for the other side.
Josh Arnold
Means nothing. And I feel.
Tom Griswold
Garbage.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Wait. I just tried playing it into AI and it said, please turn this crap off.
Chick McGee
Says we can do better.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, I'm sorry.
Tom Griswold
Where are we, you heartless bast?
Bob Kevoian
Lost my place. Okay.
Chick McGee
My childhood.
Bob Kevoian
I need to know from someone that is experienced with medical stuff post operative. A week.
Tom Griswold
A week after I feel like I got my hernia taken out.
Bob Kevoian
This is a serious question. A week after I need an anesthesiologist to weigh in. A week after surgery, should one be having extraordinarily erotic dreams?
Tom Griswold
Erotic?
Bob Kevoian
Yes. I. I'm not.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear this.
Kristi Lee
I don't want to hear this.
