Concluding Thought

This episode stands out for its top-tier guest interplay (Kostaki, Lewis Black, and Leanne Morgan), strong unfiltered banter, and the way it captures the warm chaos of old-school ensemble radio. The cast’s commentary on sports, tech fatigue, pop linguistics, and family traditions is delivered in a way that is as relatable as it is original—and always hilarious.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I love that man. I call him P.T. paul Thorne. Oh, you're not up on that? Okay, I got it.

[Pat Godwin]

Bob and Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember me? Yeah. Hi, it's the Bob and Tom show. We're the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee as Clint Eastwood sidekick the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Oh, yeah.

[Ethan]

What is that? Is that a sarong or a.

[Christy Lee]

It's a cape.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a cape, honcho.

[Christy Lee]

Whatever you'd like to call it. It's warm.

[Tom Griswold]

She's got a sawed off shotgun right underneath. She's gonna clear the room. She's gonna blow us all away. Start with Pat. I mean. Hey, Pat.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

I said that. Cuz you're close.

[Ethan]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I am Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Ethan]

Hello, Chick. You're back. You're safe.

[Tom Griswold]

You're alive. Fine. I'm about 80%. And as you can hear. Yeah, I don't know what's going on in my little corner of the world.

[Ethan]

But a little bit of the.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I got some. I believe our Jewish folks would call it spilkes.

[Ethan]

I see in the throat. Okay, coming up today, this is very exciting. We're gonna be going live to Berlin, Germany. Yes, Kostakia Khana Mon watched his Falcons lose a very tough game with the Colts yesterday in Berlin at Olympic Stadium.

[Tom Griswold]

That Falcon football.

[Ethan]

We have some photographs of Kostaki and his brother and the guy that donated the bone marrow that saved his brother's life.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Werner or Klaus?

[Ethan]

Jurgen.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

I think it's pronounced Jurgen if it's spelled with a J. Am I right? I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's not Jerkin.

[Ethan]

I don't think it's Jerkin. I'm hoping, but he wasn't a sperm donor.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you watch the game, by the way?

[Ethan]

I did.

[Tom Griswold]

Colts Amazing comeback. Overtime. 31, 31, 26, 30, something like that.

[Ethan]

Now then, there's a little bit of a dispute in the building here because.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, I know, I know. I understand. And this is the seamy underbelly of betting that you don't want to know anything about.

[Ethan]

The Colts. The colts were giving 6.5. They ended up winning by 6. And of course, because it was overtime, they don't get to kick the field goal.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't kick the extra point. They just go, yeah.

[Ethan]

And then actually, they'd already. They'd already missed a extra point.

[Tom Griswold]

You score a touchdown another time, you.

[Ethan]

Don'T get an extra point, I'm an extra point. And that. That actually comes in.

[Tom Griswold]

But both teams got the ball, Tom. Just like you like it. You love it that way. Give it to me that way.

[Ethan]

It's the way it should be. In any event, give me the blood.

[Tom Griswold]

And the mud and the guys who.

[Ethan]

Score first or win the field and don't wear helmets. Good old school. That also comes into play the. These. The extra point not taken in OT comes into play in an exciting story in the NFL yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Jonathan Taylor, 244 yards, three tutties. Amazing.

[Ethan]

Nice. Lots of other action. We'll get to the sports desk with Chick McGee coming up a little bit later on this Morning.

[Tom Griswold]

Five and eight on the shoe this weekend. And one. And that five is the. The Texans comeback. Your score gummy. That's. Yeah, that's the only way I got that one.

[Christy Lee]

It was a mess while you were gone. We had girl on girl action in the.

[Ethan]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Did you hear how quiet it got?

[Josh Arnold]

Where are you going?

[Christy Lee]

We had a lady that was picking against Chick and Chick wasn't here, so I picked for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

And that's why I was responding to you yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah, we were texting because you had five.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know where you got the five.

[Tom Griswold]

I got five, baby.

[Christy Lee]

Five. And Jason and I had minus six and a half. Yeah, that was the line that we saw.

[Ethan]

They didn't. They won. But they did not cover early in the week.

[Christy Lee]

They covered for him. They did not cover for us early in the week.

[Ethan]

The.

[Tom Griswold]

You got to go. That's why I pick them all. I. I'll go home tonight probably and look at the point spread for next week already.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. You gotta check, you gotta look, you gotta. You gotta. It changes during the week.

[Ethan]

Well, you missed Paul Thorne. He was our guest on Friday. Terrific singer and songwriter. We have a number of letters from people who weren't familiar with Paul except for his kind of fun. So a nice day to kick somebody's ass, whatever the exact title is.

[Tom Griswold]

He didn't play. He didn't play that song, did he?

[Ethan]

You mean the one that's really sad?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we all cried.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, he did. And he played another one that was even sadder.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I can't take it.

[Ethan]

We got away. We got away from the frivolity for him to sing the song where was I when you stopped loving me.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ethan]

One of my favorite songs, by the way. Literally, people in the room tearing up.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

It was something else.

[Ethan]

Josh, you missed it also. We'll have to get you a recording of it.

[Josh Arnold]

That's all right.

[Ethan]

I don't think I want to play it again here today.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'm familiar with. It's great.

[Ethan]

I'd like to get through. I'd like to get through the show without. Without tearing up. So this. I can completely change the topic real quick.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Did you have a Good weekend, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, very much so.

[Ethan]

I saw you caught a plethora of fish.

[Josh Arnold]

We did a bunch of white bass and. Yeah. So we. Yeah, we each caught our. I'd say everybody there got their limit of the day, which is 15, and we did that a few days in a row. So there were more than 100 fish easily.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh.

[Josh Arnold]

That they took home and that they cleaned there and then they're taking home to fry up.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And what do you call that? White bass.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Do they run a little smaller or. You can get more there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. What can you.

[Christy Lee]

Is your limit higher with the white bass than, say, a smallmouth or a largemouth bass?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Ethan]

Did you get to eat any of them?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. They're taking them back to the St. Louis area.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Well, on a much different.

[Pat Godwin]

Were you freezing?

[Josh Arnold]

No. It was beautiful.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, good.

[Ethan]

We've been talking a lot about deer lately because of a confusing story about something like fewer deer would be killed if we stayed on daylight. I forget what it was. It's very confusing. But we've been receiving a lot of letters from folks that have hit deer.

[Tom Griswold]

What is it? Deers have wristwatches. What's going on?

[Ethan]

It's about when they're hit. And I couldn't. I never could.

[Tom Griswold]

Quite all the times of day they're hit in the twilight. Okay.

[Ethan]

Right in the. But I get it. My point. Would be able. If more deer survive, won't that create more deer so there'll be more to hit? I just say make the hunting season year, year long and just pick them off. However, this may be the last year letter we need.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Ethan]

This is Doug writing from Rome, New York. I work for the railroad. I was out west in Oregon a few years ago. I hit a deer in my train going 65 miles an hour. Not much of the deer left, but the sound will haunt me for the rest of my life. Well, thank you, Doug. Yikes. That would be.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that would be something.

[Ethan]

Yeah. You'd think that the deer would look up and hear that thing coming and mosey on over a few feet.

[Christy Lee]

They have a train car wash that they pull through, and that's how.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. Hold it. This is an excellent idea. So. Yeah, it looks like a car wash. Yeah. But it's built. Built for a train.

[Christy Lee]

The engine gets all cleaned off when you hit a deer like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh. I. I bet. I bet you there is.

[Ethan]

I doubt it.

[Tom Griswold]

I. Well, how would they get them clean?

[Josh Arnold]

A couple guys with long brushes, I'm thinking.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

And maybe a Power washer.

[Josh Arnold]

Not nearly as cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Not nearly as cool as a really long car.

[Ethan]

Yeah, I mean, that'd be cool. I guess.

[Christy Lee]

It'd be very cool.

[Ethan]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's turn one of those tunnels into.

[Tom Griswold]

A car wash, right? Yeah, that would work. Put some nozzles up there. This is a million dollar idea, Josh.

[Ethan]

Because, I mean, nothing worse than watching a train go by that's dusty.

[Christy Lee]

And they all are. Have you noticed?

[Josh Arnold]

They are eyesores.

[Christy Lee]

Very dirty.

[Tom Griswold]

Chuchu car wash.

[Ethan]

They're usually perfect. Full of graffiti. Yeah, well, we'll get to that. Maybe there. There probably is.

[Josh Arnold]

The hobos can open up the sidecar there and get a wash themselves.

[Christy Lee]

Get in a shower.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. Start scrubbing them.

[Ethan]

Christy, didn't you do a thing once for charity where you washed an airplane? Am I losing my memory?

[Christy Lee]

Well, no, I thought you were gonna.

[Tom Griswold]

Say washed a hobo.

[Christy Lee]

Did you do that? I did not wash a hobo.

[Ethan]

Okay, well, that'd be a radio promotion.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you. Are you without a home right now? Are you?

[Christy Lee]

No. When I was in high school, I had a summer job where we helped refurbish a 727.

[Ethan]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Like, reupholstered and cleaned and.

[Ethan]

Yeah, I thought there was some kind of radio promotion. They were scrubbing downcraft.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the weirdest charity I've ever heard.

[Christy Lee]

No, the charity event that you're thinking of is where they pull the plane.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Pulling a plane. Pulling a plane, not the train.

[Ethan]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Totally different.

[Ethan]

Okay, well, glad you're not doing that train pulling thing. They probably have to cancel it. Yeah, I just say that because my flight Friday got canceled. I'm going to Disney World for the weekend. But now maybe not.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I.

[Ethan]

My flight got canceled.

[Tom Griswold]

I got. I got my eye on Thanksgiving week.

[Christy Lee]

I'm supposed to leave this weekend, too.

[Ethan]

Oh, you might want to go online.

[Tom Griswold]

Supposed to be in Austin. We'll see.

[Ethan]

Yeah. So now, coming up, a quiz yes I'm very excited about. Anybody know what a synecdoche is?

[Tom Griswold]

Nope. A city in New York.

[Ethan]

It's one of the few things if the only thing that rhymes with Schenectady, but it's a word I encountered over the weekend I think you'll find very exciting. You're very familiar with it, actually, without knowing what it means. Also, happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps. And we have a nice letter about that. And tomorrow, tomorrow Veterans Day, we're doing something very special. We are supporting Operation Honor Guard. And if you are interested in this, it's a really great charity.

[Tom Griswold]

Trouble in Major League Baseball with an incredibly extrapolated convoluted system on how they were winning bets during the game. And 2. 2 Major League Baseball pitchers have been named and they were evidently a part of the plot.

[Ethan]

We'll find out more about that.

[Tom Griswold]

Fix the games, of course. The NFL weekend. A couple of deaths in sports, which is sad. We were talking about this yesterday on the text.

[Ethan]

Much. On a much happier note, we have a dinosaur mating information.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

I bet they do it. Do it, doggy.

[Christy Lee]

I bet they do it Dino style.

[Ethan]

The Dino style. Yeah. What would that be?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know, but it'd be big.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Somebody's gonna.

[Ethan]

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're gonna get cut up.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ethan]

We'll find out about alligator sex. Dinosaur sex. And we have an update on the former NFL player who was alleged to have a. Well, a toucan male member. Oh, the size of two Coke cans, allegedly.

Yeah. Now you guys think I whine. By the way, do you get a feeling I whine?

[Pat Godwin]

I wouldn't call it whining.

[Josh Arnold]

Like when you're sick, you mean?

[Ethan]

Or actual grumbling.

[Tom Griswold]

General.

[Ethan]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

What's this grumbling?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, grumbling sound.

[Pat Godwin]

Whining.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good. That sounds manly.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Whiny sounds like.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah, you're not whiny.

[Tom Griswold]

You're big puss. I'm a. I, I'd like grumbler. Yeah.

[Ethan]

Now we have a number of things to get to. And we have. I think we'll start with some letters. And our letters once again, brought to.

[Tom Griswold]

You By Sleep number. Oh, that's Sleep Number bed. It's a Sleep Number Black Friday sale. Recharged this season with cozy, soothing comfort. Save on mattress and base bundles, plus free premium delivery for a limited time only at Sleep number or Sleep number dot com.

[Ethan]

I love my Sleep Number bed. I wish I were in it right now. Now, this is involving something that Chick talked about a week or so ago. Kevin from Reynoldsburg, Ohio.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Columbus suburb. Yes, sir.

[Ethan]

He writes, fellas, I've been listening since the late 90s. You guys spoke about Chick's toaster that has WI fi and an app.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Ethan]

And can be troll controlled by your phone. I believe this was after I started complaining about the fact that I'm out of passwords. I'm tired of everything needing a password, everything needing WI fi. And your refrigerator also has WI fi, is that correct?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. My refrigerator is also hooked to a WI fi and it will put every now and then. I don't know why, but it becomes disconnected from the WI fi. So if you open the door, there's an indicator light that says, I need to be reconnected to WI fi.

[Ethan]

And the point of that is what?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you. You stay connected with your refrigerator. I can't think of any of the most important appliance in your house, but right behind your tv, it would have to be your refrigerator. Okay.

[Ethan]

All right. Kevin continues. In the letter, you spoke about Tom's unwillingness to accept most things that need a password and an app. He goes, my wife bought me an air freshener for my truck for my birthday, and it has an app and a password. But it is wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

So there you go.

[Ethan]

I. Why would that need a pass?

[Pat Godwin]

That's quite a message. Your wife is in the.

[Christy Lee]

No joke.

[Ethan]

Well, I imagine it gets a little gamey inside a truck.

[Pat Godwin]

That's what she said.

[Ethan]

Maybe you've got a dog. Maybe there. Maybe some of the road food causes excessive flatulence. I don't know. You're spending a lot of time in there. I imagine it smells. I just don't understand the need for a password. Is someone going to break into your truck and change it?

[Tom Griswold]

You know what, though? They've. They've hurt us. The nerds, the geeks, computer people. If you forget your password, it's. It's a lot easier than it used to be to get in to your.

[Ethan]

But is it necessary?

[Tom Griswold]

Don't change your email, though. That's a nightmare. Don't do that.

[Ethan]

But, yeah, I. I don't know. It just seems that everything now has. But I'm tired of it.

[Tom Griswold]

We all know you're somewhat of a luddite and you drag your feet. You're not really that great with technology, but you've done a lot better than I. If someone would have bet me that Tom could somehow make his way in the world computer rely that we are.

[Ethan]

I have young children.

[Tom Griswold]

But you know, everything I had. You were burning your house down in six weeks is what I had. So. Because.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, well, why you keep having kids? So you stay up on technology.

[Ethan]

Exactly. Dear Bob and Tom show. Tom was wondering when it is, what is it appropriate to use a leaf blower on a Sunday morning? I believe we concluded 10. 10. Okay. Depending on.

[Tom Griswold]

You thought it was 7.

[Ethan]

8. Okay. Depending on where you live. Right now there are a lot of leaves, but yeah. So I think 10 is probably reasonable. But at this time of year there may be some earlier ones. He goes, I was wondering what time is. Too early in a Sunday to fire off your deer rifle. That sounds like a cannon. My neighbor chose 9am today.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta. I'm sorry. I think that's.

[Ethan]

He lives in a farmhouse four football fields away. This is from.

[Christy Lee]

I think that's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I'm gonna say 5:30am Is fine for that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You're out whenever you. Four farms away.

[Christy Lee]

Come on. Dude.

[Ethan]

That Chris goes. I'm okay with it. By my neighbor's house, I mean four football fields away. This is Chris from a beautiful place. Spruce Creek, Pennsylvania.

[Tom Griswold]

So Bruce, trees as far as the eye.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Where I live you can't fire a rifle. I would hope not within city limits you might. Although there have been times a couple.

[Tom Griswold]

Of neighbors, you know there's information online readily available. You can build your own silencer. Just go ahead, check that out.

[Ethan]

Oh, thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

It involves a 2 liter Pepsi bottle. Okay.

[Ethan]

Some wanting actually coming up of all things. We do have plastic bottles and bears.

[Tom Griswold]

In a very bizarre psychic comedy continues. Dear Bob and Tom show the Mackinac Bridge Authority. Dear Tom specifically the Mackinac Bridge Authority is auctioning off sections of original steel grading.

[Ethan]

Oh, cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Pieces are approximately five and a half feet by 38ft.

[Ethan]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

By five inches deep.

[Christy Lee]

Wow. What would you do with that?

[Tom Griswold]

Holy hell.

[Christy Lee]

And this is an old piece of.

[Ethan]

Art that are a ramp for your.

[Tom Griswold]

All proceeds from the sale of these pieces go back directly to the bridge. Getting more value from this steel grading that originally installed on the bridge 70 years ago. So this is original. This is original. Shove top.

[Christy Lee]

There it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't that look nice?

[Christy Lee]

Look at that's. A trash.

[Tom Griswold]

Over. Over the fireplace.

[Ethan]

70Ft long.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. 38ft.

[Ethan]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna buy it. Put it in the front of my car so it looks like it has a handlebar Mustang.

[Tom Griswold]

That's nice.

[Ethan]

Now, speaking of the Great Lakes, today is the anniversary.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God, I was hoping you didn't hear that this morning.

[Ethan]

Oh, I've had a dozen of those. I think out of respect, we're not gonna play Pat Godwin's tribute to the Edmund. The Edmund Fitzgerald.

[Christy Lee]

How many years has it been?

[Ethan]

50?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's right.

[Ethan]

Very good.

[Lewis Black]

The.

[Ethan]

That was in Lake Superior.

[Tom Griswold]

I still have no idea how that became such a monstrous song.

[Ethan]

I think a brilliant song.

[Josh Arnold]

I had no idea how timely that song was.

[Tom Griswold]

That must have happened.

[Josh Arnold]

And then he wrote it, what, two years later.

[Ethan]

I think it was something. I think it was one year.

[Pat Godwin]

Jeez, I didn't realize that either.

[Ethan]

I didn't realize that was an old, old thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I thought that. I think a year, 100 years ago.

[Ethan]

No, I think he wrote it within 12 months. I was reading about it over the week.

[Tom Griswold]

This might be stupid. And I don't remember this. Did they make a movie about the Edmund Fitzgerald?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, they must have.

[Ethan]

I believe there is a new book out about it. I don't know if they made a.

[Tom Griswold]

Movie bonding movie about Clooney.

[Josh Arnold]

That was the Perfect Storm.

[Tom Griswold]

Perfect Storm?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's not Edmund Fitzgerald. No.

[Ethan]

Dear Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Not exactly uplifting question I had.

[Ethan]

Well, this is. This is much lighter.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Coming to us from Napa, Idaho.

[Tom Griswold]

We were getting some great finest wines in Napa.

[Ethan]

Ah, yes, the Napa Idaho Valley. Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Tater wine.

[Ethan]

Oh, tater wine. They make tater. I know they make tater vodka. Try the wine.

[Tom Griswold]

They make tater wine. That's. It's a white.

[Ethan]

This is. This is from Dylan. He writes.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What does he say? Hey, man. Hey, Pat. Dylan wrote in.

[Pat Godwin]

He did, yeah. How many times must I write in?

[Tom Griswold]

Is there any artist who has more contempt for his fans?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, my God.

[Ethan]

Friends of mine saw him a month or two ago and he stayed out of the light the whole show.

[Christy Lee]

Dead.

[Ethan]

You couldn't see him.

[Christy Lee]

And then they thought it was somebody just tuning the piano. For a long time I didn't know what was going.

[Pat Godwin]

Honey, what is this song?

[Ethan]

I have no idea. Not that much contempt for the audience since Miles Davis played with his back to the audience.

[Tom Griswold]

That is the best Dylan in the universe, that Pat does.

[Ethan]

He.

[Tom Griswold]

He nails it. The conversational Dylan's my favorite.

[Ethan]

Don'T turn.

[Pat Godwin]

The spotlight on me. I'm. I'm embarrassed.

[Ethan]

I say. I say, Pat. Bob Dylan. How's your new apartment?

[Pat Godwin]

It's nice. It's very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

How many. How many times did you have to go from your old apartment to your new one when you were back?

[Pat Godwin]

How many times did I have to move my new place over there?

[Tom Griswold]

Then somebody write us a letter, said they saw Bob Dylan and it was him in a magazine store, a bookstore, looking at the magazines and looking at Baseball Weekly or something.

[Christy Lee]

That's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

You're just standing in front of the magazine. It's going to be an awful series.

[Ethan]

I got two. Two stories about them. One, I really like this about Bob. He apparently for one of his tours, he just had one of his high school buddies driving an rv and they went to all the gigs that way, which I thought was really cool that his old, old, old friends are still his friends. I always admire that. But also, he was doing a session that involved some friends of mine and he got dropped off in Bloomington, Indiana. And he. The essence of the story is he. He called the office and he said, I'm sitting in front of. I think it was Pizza Hut. It was Pizza Hut. Yeah. And I guess there at the time, there were three Pizza Huts.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

They didn't know which one I wanted all of them. So they're driving around trying to find Bob Dylan sitting in front of a Pizza Hut.

[Tom Griswold]

We're trying to find Bob Dylan at the pizza.

[Ethan]

That sounds like a Todd Snyder song. Yeah. Finding Bob feel in front of a Pizza Hut.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

And I don't know, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Todd, give me a call. We. Or one of us. Thanks.

[Ethan]

Yeah, we're. We're a little concerned about Todd right now. Today's email just. I mean, they're just from all over the place, it would seem.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. Oh, wait a minute. Did you get to your letter? Dylan or. We went off on the Dylan tangent.

[Ethan]

I know this was. This is from Andrew in Colorado. He's wondering what happened.

[Christy Lee]

Wait a minute. What did Dylan want?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, you said Dylan's name.

[Ethan]

Oh, sorry. I got side. I got sidetracked.

[Tom Griswold]

I know I sidetracked you.

[Ethan]

I started talking of it. This goes back a while. We were talking about slang terms for the male member.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

And he says, apparently Desolation Row.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, they do.

[Ethan]

Well, actually, this kind of would be appropriate for you. This is a reference to another great singer, Jerry Jeff Walker. He calls his wang Mr. Bo Dangles. Hey, baby.

[Pat Godwin]

That's good.

[Ethan]

And by the way, while you were gone, we had several letters using your famous phrase, when you get out of the shower, you look at your lady friend and say, what?

[Tom Griswold]

You want any of this part. Put it away. Yeah, it seems to work. It seems to work.

[Ethan]

We've had several. I believe we had three letters, Thursday and Friday from gents that tried that, and it actually worked.

[Tom Griswold]

And once you start using it and getting it, you can. You don't have to be coming out of the shower just anytime at all. Just grab your crotch.

[Ethan]

Just say, would you like some of this Before I put it away?

[Tom Griswold]

Put it away.

[Ethan]

By the way, sometimes the answer is no.

[Tom Griswold]

Sometimes the answer is no.

[Christy Lee]

We're not always in the mood.

[Ethan]

Oh, you're speaking for all women.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, right now.

[Ethan]

Okay, good, good. I can't take you seriously wearing that frock. You look like you're a monk on a break.

[Tom Griswold]

I say. I say we all put it on. We all have our pictures taken with.

[Christy Lee]

Because it's so hard to get it on. Right?

[Ethan]

Okay. Speaking of which, I've got a pretty good segue here. Over the weekend, I sent some pictures of one of our new shirts. It's so cool. We have some new T shirts and sweatshirts out there and including a really nice Christmas holiday shirt. Very subtle, designed by my niece, Poppy, over in England. That's really sweet. And do you have one? Is there one around here? And we also have some cool sweatshirts.

[Josh Arnold]

There you go.

[Ethan]

Really nice. Just a real subtle holiday shirt. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's almost like nobody did anything.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. If it was designed by your niece, Josh. Yeah.

[Ethan]

Hey, Josh, sometimes less is.

[Tom Griswold]

I haven't seen your niece.

[Josh Arnold]

In fact, she crap that out in 20 seconds sometimes.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, I could have done better.

[Ethan]

Less is more. Much like you're speaking right between the notes.

[Josh Arnold]

My gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. Just put a couple of ornaments on there.

[Josh Arnold]

And this is why I throw this here, that there.

[Ethan]

Josh, this is why you're not in sales. I was trying to say how nice it was.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's not.

[Ethan]

We also have Jesus.

[Tom Griswold]

Go and get used to it. You're going to hear that.

[Ethan]

Do you like the one across over there? The Bob and Tom coast to coast sweatshirt?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Somebody actually worked on that.

[Christy Lee]

I love the Christmas. I bought quite a few of those, actually.

[Josh Arnold]

Why didn't Poppy just write back, don't bother me.

[Tom Griswold]

It was Daisy and then Daisy. They don't, don't bother me, Uncle Tom. Don't bother me. I'm in England and I'm going to. I'm gonna go to England. I got. I'm gonna. It's gonna happen.

[Ethan]

Why don't you go now?

[Tom Griswold]

Somehow I could just go back. I just got back. Oh, sorry. You know how bad I felt.

[Josh Arnold]

There's anger at me. Bled into you.

[Ethan]

Don't worry, don't worry. I can demonstrate when we come back.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, we got scads of letters here and we haven't gotten to them. Okay, well, I just listener emails.

[Ethan]

Just let me finish my one plug this hour, the Bob and Tom Pop Up Shop. You can go to bob and tom.com and check it out. By the way, while you're there, on a serious note, a really cool thing going on. Well, tomorrow's Veterans Day, of course, and we're going to try to help out. Operation Honor Guard. Click on our website and read about that. It's a really terrific organization and they're doing some great stuff with, with veterans and very important. So once again, that's on our [e-mail] also on a much lighter note, we do have some cool, some cool sweatshirts on the way when we come back. Josh, I will get back at you with one word.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

As we, as we learned about the meaning of synecdoche.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember that movie Synecdoche New York with Philip Seymour Hoffman? It was a Charlie Kaufman movie.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't, but I'd like to see it.

[Ethan]

Me too.

[Tom Griswold]

Write that down for me.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you organize that and have a screen?

[Ethan]

The best thing about the word synecdoche is the way you spell it. It looks like it's synodouche. That's why, that's probably why they don't teach it in high school English because all the boys. It's spelled the way it's spelled. S Y N E C D O C H E. But it's a hard.

[Tom Griswold]

And how are we saying it?

[Christy Lee]

Got it.

[Ethan]

It's pronounced synecdoche and it's something that we all do all the time. That. I'd never heard of it, but it's, it's a, it's a thing we use in the English language. It's kind of fun.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

We also have some cool stuff coming up in sports. We have a. What's it called? A score. A.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. I really love these.

[Ethan]

I love these. Plus, great guest today, Kostaki calling us from Berlin, Germany, where he went to the Colts Falcons game. The great comedian Lewis Black and the great comedian, actress Leanne Morgan, all on the roster today. But right now, right now, let me.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hi, Pat Godwin.

[Ethan]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh Arnold.

[Lewis Black]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

He's at the I hate Steven Singer sidekick desk. There's Ace Cosmetics.

[Josh Arnold]

Howdy.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Chick McGee. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Hello, Tom.

[Ethan]

Hello, Chick McGee. We've been going through your letters. Always love doing this. Brought to you by the sleep Number bed people. Of course, we were talking. One of our letters came to us regarding Chick's refrigerator that has WI fi and a password.

[Tom Griswold]

And I think someone sent me a picture of a carving knife that also has a password. Has a password.

[Ethan]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

WI fi?

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

But that actually makes a little more sense so your kid doesn't pick it.

[Pat Godwin]

Up and turn it on.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what they have this coolest.

[Ethan]

Thing is that it's a paperweight with a password.

[Tom Griswold]

It's could be.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

High winds expected. They have like it looks like a pencil, looks like a small golf pencil, but it's metal. And you insert it into a piece of meat. Yeah. It's called a meter. I think M E A T E R Oscar talk.

[Ethan]

Is that the one that then it calls you on your phone? Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You can dial it up on an app. And what temperature the entire a real chef wouldn't need. It's really.

[Christy Lee]

It's called the meter. You're right.

[Ethan]

There have been chefs over the centuries that have done without that.

[Tom Griswold]

Enough people you don't mess up.

[Ethan]

So what it's. Why does it need a password? So your neighbor doesn't hack your roast beef.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't let anybody know what you're eating.

[Ethan]

Okay, well, I got, we got this letter about our trucker friend. His wife for his birthday got him a truck air freshener.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Ethan]

That has a password. I mean again, why I'm going to go over to Joe's truck and make it smell like elephant farts. He doesn't have a password I can break. That seems a little bit ridiculous.

[Tom Griswold]

People are more creative than that.

[Ethan]

We have a letter saying I wonder if the quote unquote air freshener is a high tech camera so his wife can spy on him. Oh, now that would need A password. Well, I see. Well let's get back to the letters. What have you got over there?

[Tom Griswold]

Bob and tom show just finished watching our hapless Miami dolphins somehow beat the Bills. Yeah, gigantic upset yesterday. Who the hell knows? As the broadcast ended, preparing to switch to Texans jags game commentator mentioned. Stay tuned for a tight one in Houston. My wife and I looked at each other and said Mr. Fister. And then Houston, Houston, Houston. Damn you Tom. Oh p. S. Josh is correct as usual. Not all women want a ring nor flowers. Just unconditional love. Meredith, courthouse taco John's drive thru dinner and home honeymoon. That's Taylor from divide Colorado today.

[Ethan]

All these great letters right from the rural areas of this great country of ours. Now by request. There you go. You're welcome. Okay, I had a great guest on Friday, Paul Thorne, singer, songwriter, one of the few singers has been in the in the boxing ring with Roberto Duran and survived. Great stuff. If you want More information, Paul Thorne.com we certainly enjoyed his visit. And a bunch of those things are posted at various social media platforms from the Bob and Tom show. Don't forget we have operation honor guard tomorrow. There's a link at bob and tom.com find out what we're talking about. It's a great organization that does a lot of very interesting stuff and very respectful stuff with regard to to veterans tomorrow of course being veterans day. On a lighter note, we do have our new sweatshirts. Just, just popped them up. It's a pop up store. It's just going to be open for a couple weeks at bob&tom.com and then for those in the holiday spirit or soon to be, we have a lovely new t shirt and sweatshirt that my niece designed that Josh doesn't care for.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob at Tom show sorry to bother you at work.

[Ethan]

Love that, love it.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom? Yes. Last week you talked one more time about fraternities and how they have their pledges walk upstairs with marshmallows in their butt. Oh yeah, stating, and I quote, all fraternities do this.

[Ethan]

No, no, some do it.

[Tom Griswold]

I was in a fraternity in college, says Brian. We didn't put anything in our butts. Therefore not all fraternities do this.

[Ethan]

I never said all of them do it. It was just a hazing thing that and again these.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I was, I more, more fraternities do it than don't.

[Ethan]

I would say they do various hazing things.

[Tom Griswold]

You weren't in a fraternity at half ass college. What was that?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, they didn't have any FS.

[Ethan]

But no, they they in question. This involved the pledges.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, yeah.

[Ethan]

Would place a standard sized marshmallow in their butt crack, not a mini while naked. And then two of them would race up the stairs. Loser had to eat the other guy's marshmallows. How that makes you a better friend, I don't know. I prefer the old fashioned way of just talking to somebody and see what they're interested in, et cetera, et cetera. But it, it does not involve the mini marshmallows. I think they'd go in too deep. Might be hard to get them out. Or those maxi ones, which I don't approve of. Those softball sized marshmallows.

[Christy Lee]

I don't get that.

[Ethan]

Not a fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Those are. Those are stupidly big.

[Ethan]

We had. We do have interesting food news coming up as we approach Thanksgiving, including great news from the Oreo people. The Oreo. The Oreo cookie. This one comes to us from another. Another great letter from Colorado.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Longtime listener, first time emailer. Andrew writes, what happened with Pat singing his song at the wedding on Halloween. Do you want to explain that, Pat?

[Pat Godwin]

It went great. It was a wonderful time with Michelle and Wayne. The curse of lighthouse is broken. Hopefully they're a loving couple. I sang it for the first time since 1987. A string of divorces. 20 to 25 divorces. Every time I sang the song. We broke the curse.

[Ethan]

But they, they had some fun. They were. They wore some costumes.

[Christy Lee]

I brought us nice gifts. They were very sweet.

[Ethan]

Okay, well, good to know. Now, I think. Does that conclude our letters?

[Tom Griswold]

No. Dear Bob and Tom show. I was catching up on your show this weekend. Tom was explaining his process. We encounters drivers with their headlights on high beam. Do you have a process for that?

[Ethan]

Yeah, you do a quick. Just a quick flip of your high beams, right. And then if they don't turn them.

[Tom Griswold]

Off, you go ahead and leave them on.

[Ethan]

You pop yours on. And I'm asking if it's possible to get them augmented. I'd like to see if I can get the Steven Spielberg Close Encounters high beams that when you turn them on, they smoke and you hear a sound.

[Tom Griswold]

It has always bugged me that Tom's final solution is to blind the driver heading towards him at over 100 miles per hour.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that isn't a good idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Tom. The yellow line does not stop vehicles. What? You guys have been. You've been brightening my Life for over 25 years.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's neat.

[Ethan]

I'd like to know from. Maybe a police officer would know the answer to this. Is there A seasonality to car collisions.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I'm sure.

[Ethan]

Or is it just steady?

[Tom Griswold]

I would imagine when the sun sets early as it does now, I wouldn't mind the dark. More dark. More.

[Ethan]

I don't know. I'm asking whether. I don't know. Just, just curious.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob, a top show. I was at Walmart on Saturday. They actually have an old school candy section. Chunky Chuckles, Zag Nuts, off brand sour. Altoids, anyone? I grabbed Chunky and a Zag Nut Chunky bar. Dot dot delicious.

[Ethan]

Yeah, we. And I brought you guys a chunky bar. And they are, they are really good.

[Christy Lee]

We were shocked.

[Ethan]

They need to advertise again and have people find out how great they are.

[Tom Griswold]

That's Charles from Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

[Ethan]

I'm not sure why. Let's see. This is from Eric. He writes, I was cutting up some jalapeno peppers to stuff my chicken. I heard the recipe. Oh, I see. For Ms. Hooker on the show. That didn't make me cry, but I did start crying when Paul Thorne started playing that song. Eric in Kentucky.

[Tom Griswold]

I think we should just call it that song from now on.

[Christy Lee]

What's the title cut from his album?

[Ethan]

The new one is Vapors.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Life is just a vapor.

[Christy Lee]

Life is just a vapor. It's another one that's a tearjerker.

[Ethan]

That's what the one we're talking about is. Where was I?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. When.

[Ethan]

Yeah. So yeah, again we have those posted. They are really great. Now sitting right here, coming up, we have some sporting news.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Actually, we were talking about this during the. We text each other every now and then on the, on the weekend. It doesn't happen very often, but former NFL commissioner Paul Taglibu passed away and he was 84.

[Leanne Morgan]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

And it mentioned that his son's name was Drew. That's right. Drew Tagliabu.

[Ethan]

And then, and then I did a little research. His daughter's name is Emily and she married famed British actor John Fu. She's now Emily Tagliabufu.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom Griswold for your, for your pleasure.

[Ethan]

Anyway, except on his birthday.

[Tom Griswold]

More, more sports, NFL, Major League Baseball. We'll, we'll have it coming.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that was.

[Ethan]

I don't know if those photos are still floating around out there, but Krista, thanks for the letter. And she wants us to give a special semper fi to her.

They're looking for volunteers as well as some funds to provide some proper stuff that they do need. We are still going through our letters, Is that correct?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm ready for sports.

[Ethan]

Well, I wanted to just run this by you, all right. Because I stumbled on this word and I had no idea what it meant. The word is synecdoche, which sounds an awful lot. It's like if someone uses the phrase, hey, nice wheels. Obviously referring to your car.

[Tom Griswold]

Not. Not sarcastically.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's like if you take. You call something specific by the general or if you. Or the opposite.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

So if I say, hey, are you carrying any plastic? Yeah, I'm just referring to the credit card, what it's made of. Or hey, if you were to say, nice flannel.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Ethan]

Or if some were to call you a dick.

[Josh Arnold]

That doesn't.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, hang on a second. I understand, Tom. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

[Ethan]

I'm sorry. An example would be are you sorry faces in the crowd. You're not saying there's a bunch of people there. And also there's some just faces about the people. So that's what that is.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember looking it up when that movie synecdoche New York came out.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh.

[Josh Arnold]

Because they were playing off of schenectady. Of course.

[Tom Griswold]

So it is a. It is synecdoc key is a Word that means something. And also the name of a city.

[Ethan]

No, Schenectady is the city.

[Josh Arnold]

They just sound similar.

[Ethan]

Okay. Like if you would say. Wait a minute, what's the example they give. Oh, your hand in marriage. You're not just marrying the person's hand.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Ethan]

That's strictly for the third.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a word for that, huh?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Because by hand, you mean the boy.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a word for everything. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Isn't that great? I just thought that was such a weird thing. So, speaking of weird things, there's your. There's your word of the day. Speaking of words, there's something you shouldn't use at work.

[Josh Arnold]

For example.

[Ethan]

Example, you could say, nice ass.

[Tom Griswold]

Donkey in the parking lot.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, how many people are in that meeting? I don't know. There are a lot of asses in seats.

[Ethan]

That.

[Josh Arnold]

That kind of thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Whereas people are sitting in the seats.

[Ethan]

It's not just their ass. Yeah. A better example probably would be if I said, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know.

[Lewis Black]

You said, thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

He has lost the entire definition of the word conversation, hasn't he?

[Ethan]

Would be. How was the lake this weekend, Josh?

[Tom Griswold]

Still talking.

[Ethan]

And I'm not just asking for him to give me a report of the temperature, the pollution levels of the lake. It refers to. When I say, how was the lake, I mean, how was it?

[Christy Lee]

How is the word. How is the word used?

[Ethan]

What word?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, fine. Use of synecdoche there, Tom.

[Ethan]

Yeah, there you go. Everybody confused.

[Tom Griswold]

How about sadness? How about that word? How about dismal futures?

[Ethan]

Wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you guys sports? Who? Sports fans, everybody.

[Ethan]

Sports fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Everything might be. We might. What would. What would we do without sports? No sports.

[Ethan]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Hockey, Basketball, football, baseball, maybe.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Soccer.

[Ethan]

No. Be awful. We'd have to read the regular news.

[Tom Griswold]

Listen to. I don't want to ring the alarm bell, but in sports. Here we go. Two pitchers with the Cleveland Guardians have been indicted on charges they took bribes to give sports betters advance notice of their pitches.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

And intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

To ensure successful bets. Now, this is during a plate appearance. During the game, the pitchers somehow communicated with these gamblers because you can bet on each individual pitch, each individual batter. Is this going to be a hit? Is this going to be a strikeout? It's going to be a walk. You can bet on that.

[Christy Lee]

How would they do that?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know why they'd be getting paid. Remember the fun days?

[Christy Lee]

How did they scratch their nose? Did they have a.

[Ethan]

They could Have a guy in the stands with a mirror or something flashing a. Oh, oh, oh.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Like a.

[Lewis Black]

A se.

[Josh Arnold]

What do you think that guy's doing?

[Pat Godwin]

Josh is mining.

[Ethan]

Like you could have a. Like a mirror in the back of your.

[Tom Griswold]

Awful idea.

[Ethan]

Have a mirror in the back of your phone. You know, you know where the, you know where the guy's sitting. And if you look up into the stands and you see the mirror, he. That means throw a ball.

[Christy Lee]

They're backwards.

[Josh Arnold]

No. Yeah, it is backwards.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the pictures.

[Josh Arnold]

Letting the better know.

[Christy Lee]

Letting the better know.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

What?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Listen to me again.

[Tom Griswold]

I will. As written by the Associated Press, they intentionally tossed balls instead of strikes to ensure successful bets. This is during a plate appearance. The pitchers are on the field. The game is going on. They're communicating with the better.

[Ethan]

With the betters, yes.

[Christy Lee]

But not the betters. Communicating with the pitcher. The pitcher's telling the better. I'm not going to throw a bet. I'm going to throw a ball here.

[Ethan]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clays clase class. I see they've been on non disciplinary paid leave since July. And this story is just coming out now. Major League Baseball has in being investigated what it called unusually high in game betting activity. When they pitched.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Ethan]

So that's how they got a whiff of that last one when the basketball where the one guy went out of the game.

[Tom Griswold]

The fulcrum of your idea.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is a, is a mirror. Is your, is your iPhone. Yeah. And you're flashing it to somebody.

[Ethan]

You just pretend you're taking a selfie. No, no. It just. All it would be, would be if you see this. Throw a ball or throw a ball.

[Tom Griswold]

High and outside.

[Ethan]

I, I don't know. I don't understand.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know that I, I'd heard that this was going on in Major League Baseball and I. The pitchers and the Indians and Cleveland guardians, whatever. I didn't know it was this involved and this sophisticated.

[Ethan]

Remember how primitive it was beating the trash can?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Those seem like romantic days. Oh, holy hell. But they were trying. But what the Astros did. I'm sorry. All the Major League Baseball teams have done something similar. They call it gamesmanship. And that's the way the world works.

[Ethan]

Coming up, I think this is going.

[Tom Griswold]

To put an end to sports. This.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Integrity of the game is at stake with something like this.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Coming up, we have a really interesting thing that happened in college football that may or may not be legal. That's. That's in dispute. And we'll know the answer by the end of the week, but it involves the old switcheroo.

[Josh Arnold]

Does this involve the guy going, hey, what size are you?

[Ethan]

Yes, it may, actually. It's a really interesting story. Also, real quick reminder, we have our new T shirt and sweatshirts out there and they'[e-mail] our little pop up store. The pop up shop is happening. We've got a little Christmas thing if you want to get ready early for the holidays. I've already bought a bunch of them and sent them to my friends. They're really cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Also coming up, the Buffalo Bills got trounced by the Miami Dolphins yesterday. And, and we have this visual interpretation. Someone put it on. Whoa. That's what, that's what the Dolphins did to Josh Allen yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

So there's a dolphin.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll have more.

[Josh Arnold]

Being rude to a woman.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll say, yeah, very, very rude. And several. Three other dolphins in line ready to go.

[Christy Lee]

They'll do that.

[Ethan]

Is that real?

[Josh Arnold]

They let you know every time you swim with dolphins.

[Ethan]

Did those people do that deliberately?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Pat Godwin]

She's got stuck there.

[Christy Lee]

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, dolphins got eyes, okay?

[Josh Arnold]

And she is laughing. She's not too upset about it.

[Ethan]

That's the new superhero dolphin boy. Half human, half dolphin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's the origin story.

[Ethan]

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

She's at the Silac Insurance News Center. Thank you, dear. There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

The I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair, Ace Cosby. I am Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Ethan]

Chick McGee is poised at the Prize Pick sports desk to review more news from the world of sports.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Ethan]

What have you got?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's do it. Lenny Wilkins. You guys know Lenny NBA star. Yeah. Coach. He passed away at 88. His family announced that yesterday Wilkins honored as both a player and a coach. He was one of the finest point guards of his era and coached in 2,487 NBA games, a record that still stands. He's also inducted into the hall of Fame, part of the 1992 U.S. olympic team. He coached the U.S. to a gold medal in the Atlanta Games in 1996. And former NFL commissioner Paul Tagley boo died at the age of 84. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tagley Booth family informed the league of his death and Chevy Chase, MD he was he succeeded Pete Roselle in 1989-2006, President Donald Trump became the first sitting president in nearly 50 years at a regular season NFL game. He attended the well, it was an NFL game despite the fact the Washington commanders took part against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. House Speaker Mike Johnson among those who joined Trump in a suite at Northwest Stadium. It was all part of a salute to the veterans there. It was Armed Services Day there and.

[Ethan]

The formerly the Redskins, your favorite team. Not a good.

[Tom Griswold]

Not a good NFC championship game to Josh and I could play defense and dominate for Washington right now.

[Ethan]

I see.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh man.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not good. It's not good. And Speaking of the NFL, Justin Herbert 220 yards to touchdown Chargers beat the Steelers last night in your Sunday nighter 25 to 10 and Trevion Henderson touchdown runs of 69 and 55 yards. Drake May threw two touchdown passes. Patriots beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 28 23. And the Houston Texans pulled off one of the wildest comebacks in the NFL season. Houston stunned Jacksonville in Houston 36 29. A final score that has never been seen in 106 years of NFL play. That's right. Tom's favorite sports item. It's a score a Gummy with just seven seconds left, the Jaguars trailed 30 to 29, driving when Trevor Lawrence strip sacked Sheldon Rankin scooped up the ball and ran it back 32 yards for a touchdown, sealing the 1094th unique final score in league history. How about that? If they'd kicked the extra point, 3729 would not have been a score gummy. How interesting is that?

[Ethan]

Okay, doesn't happen.

[Tom Griswold]

It doesn't happen.

[Ethan]

All that off.

[Tom Griswold]

Houston scored 26 points in the fourth quarter after trailing 29:10. How about that?

[Ethan]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

And from Berlin and that Olympic Stadium. Anybody else kind of creeped out by.

[Christy Lee]

Seeing it was weird.

[Tom Griswold]

But anyway. The Indianapolis Colts win in overtime, 31, 25 over the Atlanta Falcons. We'll be talking with Gastrachia.

[Ethan]

Khanomopoulos was there in Berlin with his.

[Tom Griswold]

Brother and some guy named Klaus or somebody from the Scorpions.

[Ethan]

Jurgen.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ethan]

A German national named Jurgen donated the bone marrow that saved his brother's life. His brother had a. Had cancer and I think it's been two years. We'll find out more from Kesaki. But what a cool thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Jonathan Taylor, three touchdowns, 244 yards on the day yesterday, and he scored the winning touchdown in overtime. And here's what it sounded like in Japanese. No, no, German. The German broadcast. We were in Berlin. Here we go.

[Ethan]

Even, even. Even in German. They both talk at the same time.

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like Jeff Oskar here right at the beginning. Listen to this. That sounds like Oscar's tone. This is Jonathan Taylor's 83 yard touchdown, the longest in the NFL so far this season. Man, what. What an awful language. What a. Just a brusque language.

[Christy Lee]

Very severe.

[Tom Griswold]

It's unkind to the air.

[Ethan]

It's. Yeah, we'll. We'll hear the. How it was. We did. We have some photographs from Kostaki posted on our social media. I mean, that. They went all out.

[Tom Griswold]

Dolphins beat Buffalo 30 to 13. And what can be argued is the biggest upset in the history of the world yesterday. And we did have a visual representation of what the Dolphins did to Josh Allen yesterday with the dolphin humping some sad woman. But she was laughing about it. Thought it was.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

I mean, you know, were they coaxing the dolphin up there for that?

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean?

[Josh Arnold]

No, it was just like a. They just came up to kind of meet and greet and pet, and then that dolphin took it upon itself to.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Wow. It's what a dog does. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a big dolphin. It's the biggest dolphin. They look bigger out of water.

[Josh Arnold]

That's why they call.

[Tom Griswold]

They're big dogs of the sea. And then New England, in the other big game of the day, New England will be Tampa Bay 28, 23. And this made Internet went viral. Someone mentioned Tony Roma was being dirty and naughty during the broadcast. He. Because he said this. This team is dtf. Jim.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. What is he talking about?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, why would he use.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Ready? This team is dtf. Jim, what did he mean? I think the team was. The T was tenacity, I think. And the what. But you might know.

[Ethan]

He does not mean.

[Christy Lee]

He does not.

[Tom Griswold]

He doesn't mean dtf. And despite the fact this team Is DTF Jim. And I think Tony likes. Likes you.

[Ethan]

Oh, no, he's down. Jim. Oh, Jim. Oh my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

I almost.

[Ethan]

So does it. Is there an explanation of what he did mean to say? What did. What did he.

[Tom Griswold]

Tenacity and finesse, my producers.

[Ethan]

Apparently it's written on your type somewhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me. Let me.

[Ethan]

While you do that, Christy, I will now recreate a scene.

[Tom Griswold]

Details, toughness, and they finish.

[Ethan]

Oh, and is that commonly used by nobody?

[Josh Arnold]

Not nearly as common as dtf.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

If you're not familiar with it. It's. It's a. It's a. It's a.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what? I think everyone's.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, everybody has familiar fornicate.

[Ethan]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Saying good morning.

[Ethan]

Yeah, it's one of those late at night if your text thing goes off and it says dtf. It's not from your parents, Right?

[Christy Lee]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

It's probably.

[Ethan]

It's probably. Probably from a lover that wants to know if you're down.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I know that you. You feel like you need to help people understand life. You need to take them by the hand, you know, But I think. I think everyone listening don't knows what DTF stands for.

[Ethan]

I think we just enlightened somebody.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't. I don't believe that.

[Ethan]

Not everybody lives the sordid lives that you do in which your phone goes off in the middle of the night and some strumpet is on the line looking for. Looking for an extra 200 bucks. Either I'm food on Sunday, I'm sadly.

[Tom Griswold]

Desperately alone, or I'm having three ways across the city.

[Ethan]

I didn't say. I know you well enough to know the three way is not your thing or my thing. I can disappoint women one at a time.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't play zone. Gotta be man to man.

[Ethan]

Okay. Christy from Stalag 17.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Ethan]

Remember they said when was Pearl Harbor Price or don't you know that price says 12-7-41. What time? 6 o'.

[Pat Godwin]

Clock.

[Ethan]

I was having dinner 6 o' clock in Berlin.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't see Starlight 17 yet. It's on my list.

[Josh Arnold]

I haven't seen one through 60.

[Tom Griswold]

It's possibly yes. Next to. Next to Rosebud. When the last citizen came, the last words are they said it was a sled. But the real thing is something private parts someone private parts on a woman he really loved. But this is poss. The biggest spoil spoiler you've ever heard in your life, him saying this.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, because it's Peter Graves and he's the you Know, Don't.

[Ethan]

Don't give. Now you're giving it away.

[Tom Griswold]

Son of a bitch.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys have given that movie away and.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, a couple of times.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ethan]

It's about the time zone.

[Christy Lee]

Is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

It was Breakfast in Hawaii.

[Christy Lee]

Right?

[Ethan]

Okay. Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good. I don't think that is a very good.

[Ethan]

This next story, do you? This really bugs.

[Tom Griswold]

Son of a gun.

[Christy Lee]

Here he goes.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you want, the UFC thing?

[Ethan]

Yeah. This is raw.

[Tom Griswold]

I've got an update. Are you ready?

[Ethan]

Oh, I am ready for.

[Tom Griswold]

The University of Southern California pulled off a fake punt against Northwestern after having their third string quarterback wear the same number as the punter.

[Josh Arnold]

See, I saw this and I thought Tom would have been way on board here.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he is. He's just.

[Ethan]

I'm not. No, I'm not. Because I like trick plays. But that's cheating. No, it isn't. So, you know, explain what happens. He's tricking somebody. They sent out a guy that they for.

[Tom Griswold]

You guys go out in the parking lot.

[Ethan]

No, they. The other team assumes it's a punt because the number 80 walks out. He's the punter. Turns out he's a quarterback.

[Josh Arnold]

That's what you get for assuming.

[Tom Griswold]

Can I explain you. As you've written here so eloquently, you were up since midnight doing this. Can't I. My pros quarterback, Sam Hewitt, who's got to be related to Brock Hewitt, I'm guessing son or grandson. I would. He put on a number 80 jersey and came on the field with the Trojans punt team in the second quarter to complete a 10 yard pass to Tan Oak Hines. The team's punter, Sam Johnson, also wears number 80. ESPN noted that the move was apparently legal. That's the update, Mr. Hewitt. Mr. Sam wore number seven earlier this season, but he was listed as number 80 on the UFC roster. Lincoln Riley quietly made the change on the roster for this week's game. However, according to the Big Ten, they announced that USC should have received an unsportsmanlike penalty during its game against Northwestern due to that reserve quarterback wearing the same numbers, the Trojans regular punter. Early in the second quarter, Sam Hewitt completed a pass, led to a touchdown. Big Ten stated USC should have been penalized under the NCAA's unfair tactics rule. The conference. The conference plans to continue reviewing the situation with both schools.

[Pat Godwin]

It's just not fair.

[Christy Lee]

It isn't fair.

[Tom Griswold]

Northwestern's coach did not complain about the play after the game.

[Josh Arnold]

Nothing's fair.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Ethan]

I went. I went to a High school game Friday night and tell me everything. There were no. But there were a couple trick plays, more or less, and that's cool, but I mean, this is a deception involved. No.

[Josh Arnold]

It's just whatever it takes to win.

[Ethan]

No. And by the way, the expert from Fox Sports is now weighing in, saying it was an illegal play.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, what does that expert know? The story when you turn. It was not illegal.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So get a load of this. I just read him a news release.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

From the Big Ten.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The league office.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That it was illegal. It says that they should have been given an unsportsmanlike.

[Ethan]

Wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

He has to come back and say, oh, well, evidently a Fox Sports guy says it was illegal.

[Ethan]

How many. How many the hell is.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you doing?

[Ethan]

How many teams play in the Big Ten?

[Tom Griswold]

That doesn't matter, Tom. Name of the league. You know, I don't see Bob around. Okay, so we're the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ethan]

There are more than.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the same principle.

[Ethan]

More than 10 teams. They don't know what they're doing.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it. I like it. I say more like.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, no, it's not. That's cheap.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

You got to pay attention on the field.

[Tom Griswold]

But how are you.

[Ethan]

Number 80 walks out. You can't see the guys.

[Josh Arnold]

Nobody looks at numbers.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to realize that Josh also wants defensive backs to tackle receivers before they can catch them.

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely. Otherwise, they could catch the ball and score.

[Tom Griswold]

See?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, are we playing or are we playing?

[Tom Griswold]

You want to play or not?

[Ethan]

So we'll see. You just like saying, wait a minute. It's a punt stunt.

[Josh Arnold]

I liked the phrase Trojan punt squad or whatever the hell that was.

[Ethan]

I still don't understand whether it can be more than 10 schools in the big 10. Sir.

[Tom Griswold]

I think this is the thing that should be outlawed. This team is dtf, Jim.

[Ethan]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

What if I called you Tom every time we talked on the air? How about that, Tom?

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you think, Tom?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, technically, we should mention it every now and again so that the audience knows.

[Ethan]

That's right, Steve. I think you're right. I couldn't agree more with.

[Tom Griswold]

Steve's doing a great.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Susie, what's coming up in the next news? How confusing.

[Tom Griswold]

Stupid world record. You want this now or you want to wait?

[Ethan]

So I'd give us a teaser.

[Tom Griswold]

That was a word. Okay. We got the world record coming up, and boy, is it stupid.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, oh, boy.

[Ethan]

Also coming up, Chrissy came in and.

[Tom Griswold]

Handed this to me today, and we both went.

[Ethan]

I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Ethan]

Lester, didn't you create this segment?

[Tom Griswold]

Possibly, but that's besides the point.

[Ethan]

By definition, maybe it should.

[Tom Griswold]

And that says Stupid World Records. It should be, but not really. Stupid World Records. Instead of so Stupid World Records.

[Ethan]

This is about a great gentleman. Also, you're going to be needing one of your impressions coming up. I'm not going to give it away, but just be prepared.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll fall in a hole.

[Ethan]

No, it's one of your finest impressions. I'm looking forward to hearing it. Plus, we have news about bears on the loose and we have Oreo Update. Very important and great guests coming in.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Ethan]

Chick Magee joins us once again after being sick last week. Glad to have you back. He's at the the Prize Picks sports desk. That's right, Patty G. I thought perhaps might be time for a song.

[Pat Godwin]

What would you like to hear?

[Ethan]

Well, we were talking about Wig Day in which we we put wigs on.

[Christy Lee]

And that was very fun.

[Ethan]

A Couple of us, we. We have a nice poster out there. Now, uh, while you get organized, I know you have a song. You told me.

[Pat Godwin]

I was talking to Josh about his hair loss because he's very open about it. Doesn't care about. I don't care about. I don't even notice hair loss. And you may decide that you're going to take a walk in the bald side.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

So I thought that would be perfect.

[Ethan]

For a little Lou Reed tribute.

[Lewis Black]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Pat Godwin]

Tommy came from Cleveland, Ohio. Long blonde locks and an ice tea.

[Lewis Black]

To go.

[Pat Godwin]

Gained fans, but lost some hair. The land is close to oh, you know where. He says, hey, listeners, take a walk on the bald side. Bob and Tom fans, take a walk on the bald side. Josh came from St. Louis, Missouri. Got a job working for Tom, all big and furry. Tom plays hey Dare and Josh the stairs. All this stress and he's lost his hair. He says, you work for Tom. He'd take a walk on the bald side. That a pizza joke. Take a walk on the bald side. And the white guys go. They go. I came from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Tom tells the world, I'm in aa. My family's listening. I tell him to stop. He says, even drunk right now, thin on top. I said, hey, Tom, chill out. On the drunk and the bald side. I said, that's not for air. Tom, take a walk on the bald side. And the white guys go. They go.

[Lewis Black]

All right.

[Ethan]

Little Lou Reed tribute.

[Christy Lee]

That was.

[Tom Griswold]

Never lost my hair.

[Ethan]

One of the cool things, when I.

[Tom Griswold]

Was given hair, there was a thing I stumbled on on the Internet. The bass player for that, how he came up with the bass riff for the beginning, and it was. It was incredibly interesting.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, there's two.

[Josh Arnold]

There's one of the best.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there's two bases playing at the same time. On the first part, we.

[Ethan]

I don't know if you remember this. We spoke with David Bowie. That album, that Lou Reed album was produced by Mick Ronson and David Bowie, right? And you say, so David Bowie, he was. He said that the saxophone at the end of that, you know, that little thing, right? That was his high school music teacher, who was also a session player. And he didn't recognize David Bowie because at the time, I believe he had the, you know, crazy mullet red hair thing going on. And he knew David Jones from. From. From back. So he just kind of a cool thing. Can you imagine calling one of your high school teachers, hey, come on and play sax? That's such a great song.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Do they play that as it is? On the radio now, or do they?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'll hear it at least on Saturday.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Yeah. There's a number of songs they've kind of politically corrected out of existence, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Gets a little naughty.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Ready?

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Ready, Set, go. Stupid world record. Josh, I'm relying on you for this, okay? I need that. That doubting. Oddly doubting Thomas, if you will. All right, here we go. A Pennsylvania man. So far, we're okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Has been confirmed as the world's oldest great category plumber.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

So he just hasn't retired. This is just a man who's still working.

[Tom Griswold]

Watching the time pass.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Still working.

[Tom Griswold]

A career spanning nearly 75 years. Ross Palermo.

[Lewis Black]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Earned the Guinness World Record title at the age of 92.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the plumber's here. I got good news and bad news. The plumber's here, but he's 92.

[Ethan]

I think this guy's gonna be great.

[Tom Griswold]

He started his career in Plumbing in 1951. Boy, I bet he's seen some changes coming up.

[Ethan]

You're going to thank me for running the story. When you hear the name coming up, go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what? I'd like to thank you preemptively if I could, because I just saw that you didn't.

[Ethan]

You didn't read ahead, did you?

[Tom Griswold]

Developer Roger Glunt.

[Ethan]

Yes, Mr. Glunt.

[Tom Griswold]

Gl u n t. Told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette everybody wants a Ross Palermo. He needed no supervision.

[Ethan]

Everybody wants to Roger Glunt.

[Christy Lee]

You told him with a couple blunts.

[Ethan]

You did. I'll bet they suffered.

[Christy Lee]

They were great football players. They were very popular.

[Ethan]

But first, a poem.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You tell Palermo what to do. You turn him loose. When he breathes his last breath, he'll probably have a plumbing tool in his hand.

[Josh Arnold]

I hope it's tomorrow.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't ever envision the day when he will voluntarily say, I quit. I take a Viagra pill and I.

[Ethan]

Can snake the drain. Where's your coal stove? Snake the drains. Plumber talk for, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the old in, out, snake in the drain.

[Lewis Black]

Oh, yeah.

[Ethan]

The good news is, Christy, he's so old that he wears his pants so high, when he bends over, you can't see his butt crack. It's gone.

[Lewis Black]

Nope. Well, I step on my balls every day now.

[Ethan]

Christy. Christy. Do you.

[Christy Lee]

Mike and Vince Glunt. I hope you're listening, guys. They were great.

[Ethan]

Ms. Em, if you are. I just had this experience. Experience? Last week there was a really great guy over at my house working on some stuff. Yeah. That you bothered and he bent down and there was a.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this gonna be a long story?

[Ethan]

Massive amount of butt crack. Do you say. Do you say something? You're just cool.

[Christy Lee]

No, you don't.

[Josh Arnold]

I do like. I like your butt crack.

[Christy Lee]

I don't say anything.

[Ethan]

Just leave a pencil in there.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the name of that.

[Christy Lee]

What's wrong with you?

[Tom Griswold]

I forget the name of the company that has a anti butt crack shirt. They used to advertise here. This is horrible. And I can't remember.

[Ethan]

I do remember.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember that guy?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

More Ballroom jeans, too.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Duluth.

[Tom Griswold]

Duluth. Duluth Trading Company has long. Yeah, we love Duluth training.

[Ethan]

So this guy's the world's oldest. That's great. Good for him. Still out there working.

[Christy Lee]

He did want a 92 year old.

[Ethan]

Sure he knows what he's doing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Ethan]

This guy could probably tell you the history of how turds have changed over the years.

[Christy Lee]

I don't want to know the history. I just want my pipes unfrozen.

[Ethan]

They look a little sissy. I'll tell you something. I invented the plunger.

[Tom Griswold]

I've been around a long time.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. The plumber's trying to flush the cat.

[Tom Griswold]

It's too soft. If my bowl can handle this, it can handle anything.

[Ethan]

If your name was Glunt, would you think about changing?

[Christy Lee]

You know, it's so funny.

[Tom Griswold]

That's so funny, though.

[Christy Lee]

I never thought of that or make fun of him in high school.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Just nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, while Christie was talking, I. I didn't want anybody to miss that Tom said glossy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I sure did.

[Josh Arnold]

The only thing he didn't say was Gladchett wound.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Ethan]

I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

It's hyphenated.

[Ethan]

Thompson Glissy Glunt.

[Tom Griswold]

You know who likes what you do, Tom? Tony Romo. This team is dtf.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Jim.

[Ethan]

You have to say that.

[Tom Griswold]

That is so amazing.

[Ethan]

Did this.

[Tom Griswold]

Is Jim too much?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he does. He says it every time.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy. He says Jim too much. Doesn't he, Chris?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, he does.

[Ethan]

That's his charm.

[Christy Lee]

Is it his charm?

[Ethan]

Part of it, yeah. He's great.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think so. He's on his way out.

[Ethan]

No, he's not. He's fantastic. Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He stopped predicting plays, which I was bugging the hell out of me. Oh, this is gonna be. You know. And plus really pissed me off. He's right about 80% of the time. Yeah.

[Ethan]

What a dick, huh? So this guy. What's the guy's name? The oldest plumber. I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Ross Palermo.

[Ethan]

These kids today, Josh, they Get all pussified.

[Lewis Black]

I can't work with lead pipes. I got kids. Well, look you punk.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, look, punk.

[Ethan]

Coming up, we're gonna get on the hotline to Berlin because we're gonna talk with Kostakia Khandemopoulos, Falcon fan who saw the Falcon Colt game in Berlin at Olympic Stadium yesterday. An historic site, as they say. The, the where they were, the famous Jesse Owens event occurred. They've obviously upgraded the stadium. If you saw it yesterday, that was.

[Josh Arnold]

Rude of Jesse Owens, wasn't it? You're in somebody else's stadium, right, and.

You go ahead and win. Come on. Yeah, show some class.

[Tom Griswold]

Live special from Berlin sports correspondent.

[Christy Lee]

Look at this.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Morning, everybody.

[Ethan]

We are looking at Costakia Khanomopolis here. Are you in your hotel in Berlin?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I'm in my hotel room in Berlin.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, it's really expansive.

[Christy Lee]

Blue.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

No, it's tiny, but it's great. Yeah, it's a nice room. And the breakfast here. Awesome. I'm gonna miss them.

[Tom Griswold]

So what is it like 2 o' clock there? 3:30, portable nine. What is it?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

It's. It's 2:00pm local time. This is how radio should be done.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. Are you listening to this?

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah, that's great. Kostaki and I went back and forth a little bit over the weekend and we actually posted some of your pictures on our social media. And it's Jurgen is your friend who actually donated the blood marrow that saved your brother's life. Can you tell us the story from the beginning?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah. Andreas Got leukemia, worst possible strain, and he was not going to survive. And then he got a bone marrow transplant. He went through hell for a. About it, and then he's completely cancer free since then. It's. It's amazing.

[Ethan]

There were.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

There are about 16 million people in the registry globally to. Who were willing to donate marrow if they were a match. They tested me right away. I wasn't a very good match. He matched two people really well, two out of 16 million, and one of them was Jurgen, who stepped up. We talked to him about the donation process. They ask you when you're the. When you're the donor. They ask you three separate times if you're doing. You're gonna do this. And the third time he said was. Was extra weighty because they know that the recipient is already going through the process where they're killing off the recipient's blood. So at that point, you can't. You can't back out anymore. They ask you one last time.

[Ethan]

Wow.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

And they. Yeah, I know this. So they get the marrow and they ship it across the ocean, and Andreas got it.

[Lewis Black]

And then.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Then it's like speed dating, where if you both circle the thing, they introduce you to each other.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, see, I had it all wrong on my Instagram. I just thought Jurgen loaned money or something. I didn't know. Oh, boy. I was way off.

[Ethan]

So. So you took Jurgen to the Colts Falcons game at Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, it was awesome. They came up on the train, and I came from LA and Andreas came from Atlanta and Andres's wife. I was the fifth wheel.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't even think about that until I got here.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I was like, oh, it's two couples and me just fine.

[Tom Griswold]

You should have picked up a for all line, I believe. Yeah, you're right. I should have. I should have.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I definitely had all the beers. And it's so fun. I mean, I. I'd never been to a game where most of the fans were not there to support of the teams in particular.

[Christy Lee]

Right, yeah, that's true. Yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

It was so interesting. I would say 15, give or take. A lot of the fans were Falcons fans. And we'd see him like, hey, I grew up in Marietta and, you know, talk about the Falcons for a SEC. And maybe like 20ish, 25 were Colts fans. We'd found some Bob and Tom fans, and I found a lady who for 15 years has had season tickets to the Colts and the Falcons.

[Ethan]

Whoa.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

And she travels back and forth, and she had a special jersey made up that was half and half oh, that's cool.

[Christy Lee]

That is.

[Tom Griswold]

She literally had a blue shoe.

[Ethan]

Shoe.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Sounds really lonely, doesn't it?

[Christy Lee]

By herself.

[Tom Griswold]

Looks forward to.

[Ethan]

Did you get to the stadium early?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

No, I wish we had. We debated at length because it's outside and it was 40 something degrees and we got these hand warmers and we're at all these layers, and we were about being there for several hours. So we went for a few hours. You know, like, we got there in time for the flags, which was so cool. It was like an Olympic event where everyone had their own flag.

[Josh Arnold]

And it was.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

It like made a pattern in the stadium.

[Ethan]

It was awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

I had that wrong, too. I thought Berlin Tropical, but not. No, it's.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, literally. I mean, you know, intellectually, it's north of Greece and Italy, but it's. It's. I looked at the map. It's farther north than you think it is.

[Josh Arnold]

It's cold.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe that's why they. Never mind.

[Ethan]

It was a great game. And now you're a Falcon fan and it didn't turn out.

[Tom Griswold]

Out your way.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

No, it didn't. It was. I. When we got. But it was so fun. I mean, they did the John Denver song.

[Tom Griswold]

I heard that 2000 German as you're watching the broadcast. It sounded like they were singing so loud right. As the Colts snapped for a play. And it was. It was just really loud.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, there were a few times when they did songs and the crowd was. Got so into it that they just kept singing through the next play.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Like, to hell with the game. We're here to sing together.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Which would never happen in America, but it was. That was hilarious.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it was so every.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Every time you turned around, there was a guy with a Chiefs jersey and a Packers hat, and everyone had a story about how they were connected to their teams. You know, one guy studied in engineering in Milwaukee and became a big packers fan. And my mom, you know, was. Lived in Florida for a while. And the guy in front of us was a big gator. His dad was an American military man who grew up in Gainesville, Florida. Came and had a family in Munich. You know, it's like the kids sitting next to me when I first sat down were from Lithuania and Belgium. They had no idea what was happening. They were just happy to be there. And I was explaining the game to them and everything. And then late at the game, we came back and we had another one more round of beers at the hotel. We're kind of winding down. And Natalie, Jurgen's wife, who I literally had Explained the game to a few hours earlier. Like you get four tries to make 10 yards. Like we were. We were talking about the very basics at the. After the game, Natalie said she thought that the Falcons players could use some practice catching the ball.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

And then Jurgen said it looked like our quarterback would come up from the line and not know what he wanted to do next.

[Tom Griswold]

Silly German.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Andreas and I were laughing so hard. They were like, we don't know the game. Like. No, I think you get it.

[Tom Griswold]

Exactly.

[Ethan]

Now, was Jurgen rooting for the Falcons since your brother?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

We actually.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Jurgen has shared his love of his sort of disappointing soccer team with Andreas Kaiser Slotin, who had a game on the night before he went to.

[Ethan]

Wait a minute. It wasn't Kaiser's loss. On the bad guys in the Usual Suspects.

[Tom Griswold]

That's like the Art Fern tea time movie. Cut off your Kaiser Law turn.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I'm new to it there. The Bundesliga has three divisions and they're. They're in the second division, so they're not even.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't talk, don't talk down to me about soccer, Okay? I know what's.

[Lewis Black]

I know.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm learning.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I'm telling you what I learned.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

We're speaking with Kostaki Economopoulos. He is live in Berlin this afternoon. When do you come back tomorrow?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

I got three flights. I got Berlin to London, London to Chicago. Chicago, Iowa.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, a long day.

[Ethan]

The Iowa kicks in because coming up in just a few nights, you're going to be in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The 13th, the 14th you will be in Sioux Falls. And then the 15th you're in Sioux City. And then coming up last year with Han and Zany.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Those are super fun shows. I loved it. And then December 11th, tell my jokes.

[Ethan]

And grab a beer.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Watch those guys. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Well, speaking of jokes, did you catch up with the rest of the NFL? You want to do a little bit of a.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

A little bit. We could do a couple Falcons jokes. And the Falcons had a beautiful tribute to the Berlin Wall. They held step for longer than you would have expected. Then they collapsed. You know, that's how they do the Colts. Jonathan Taylor had 244 yards. Usually when someone seizes that much ground in Europe, it's bad news.

[Ethan]

It's.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a lot.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

The Falcons in overtime are what the Germans call far from Gooden. The Falcons played six hours ahead. Yet I kind of knew what was going to happen the whole time. I read that Tom Brady cloned his dog.

[Ethan]

True.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

He should have cloned his wife. Then he'd still have one.

[Tom Griswold]

You know? But if there's somebody who would be into cloning, it'd be Tom Brady. He doesn't want this life to be over, ever. He's got.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Living the dream.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

He should clone himself so he can. Just. So he can see how annoying he is.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's enough with the top. Yeah, yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Gronk. Seems like what happens when you clone the same guy too many times.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Gronk's like. That's the fifth Gronk there. The whole thing a little off. Yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

By the way, it was a news release by. Listen to this title. Colossus Colossal Biosciences, which if that doesn't sound like the bad guy in a science fiction movie, I am going to.

[Pat Godwin]

Breed a race of giants.

[Ethan]

He's. He's one of the owners of that, by the way. Way.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, right.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

He's an investor. If Arnold Schw. Arnold Schwarzenegger shows up from Colossal Biosciences run.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, he's an investor. And apparently Paris Hilton is as well. She cloned her dog in 2023. For those of you too young to remember Paris Hilton, she was like the Spencer Gifts version of Taylor Swift.

[Tom Griswold]

That's very good. That's very good.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

The cowboys needed edge Rusher. We keep hearing about all the illegal immigrants rushing across the Texas border. None of them have a swim.

[Tom Griswold]

Move.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Can we just pick one of those guys? It seems like a few well placed cameras would fix this problem. Like that guy trucked the border agent and made him look silly. Here's a Cowboys jersey. Welcome to America.

[Ethan]

Look.

[Pat Godwin]

Glad you're here.

[Josh Arnold]

That's probably all I got.

[Ethan]

That's good, though. Hey now, is your brother still in town? In Berlin.

[Pat Godwin]

Those guys left today.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

This morning Jurgen got on a train and went back. I had an extra day before I'm heading to Iowa, so I'm gonna do a couple more media calls and then just go for a long walk. I got good boots. I'm just gonna go for a long walk and eat well and have another round of beers and get up tomorrow.

[Lewis Black]

Head.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Head back to America.

[Ethan]

All right, well, thanks, Kostaki. And we'll send us some more photos. We'll get them posted.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Oh, absolutely. Yeah. It was a pleasure. The German people are so great and the city's awesome and the stadium was. I cried when I walked into the stadium. It's where. It's where, you know, four gold medals in front of Hitler, a black kid from Alabama. It was so awesome to be the.

[Ethan]

Famous Jesse Owens thing. Know, it's amazing.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Jesse Owens gold medal victories in the face of the, you know, the master race. I mean, I just, there's so many cool things.

[Ethan]

Do they, do they have a ring of honor?

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

They definitely had a small display as you walked in that had some of the different stories of the stadium and one of them was just.

[Ethan]

Oh, cool.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was great.

[Ethan]

Okay, Kostaki, we'll look forward to talking to you again. Thanks so much.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.

[Christy Lee]

Safe travels.

[Ethan]

And coming up, by the way, on our program today, more guests including Lewis Black and Leanne Morgan. What have you got coming up in the news, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, how long is too long for guests to stay at your home? We have Oreo this Thanksgiving. We'll talk about that. And a passenger lost his laptop and it forced a flight to turn around. We'll talk about.

[Ethan]

That's a weird story.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's very questionable. Well, what's going on there?

[Ethan]

Yeah, it's odd. It's odd. Also, we have bear attacks, which I guess are up worldwide of all things.

[Christy Lee]

Bears are hungry.

[Ethan]

And then we have an update on the guy that was the former Minnesota Vikings tackle Matt Khalil. Apparently his ex wife said he was hung like a, a pair of Coke cans.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Ethan]

We're going to find out what's happening, the latest with that, but right now it's, it's a quiz time. You've been hearing us talk about annuities here in the Bob and Tom Show. What is an annuity? Well, we found out from our friends at the Silac Insurance Company, annuities are all about having a paycheck after you retire and getting your money put away. So it keeps coming in. So I wanted to get some details. So we put this out there and received these letters. We call it the Chick Magee three. Dear Chick, I want to browse and read about all of the Silac annuity options. What is the Silac website address?

[Tom Griswold]

I got it right here for you, Tom. Silacins.com that's s I l a c I n s dot com.

[Ethan]

Very good. Very good question too. And this is amazing. I love this idea. A 20% bonus by going from a 401k to a Silac annuity. Where do I learn about that?

[Tom Griswold]

Again, just go to silacins.com and click on the Bob and Tom logo to request more information.

[Ethan]

Now, ordinarily, I would say with your mellifluous voice, I would appreciate your reading. The appropriate disclaimer. However, in as much as your voice is a little bit shaky today, I've been sick. We'll. We'll turn to Christy Lee for the SILAC disclaimer, please.

[Christy Lee]

Premium bonus may vary by annuity product, premium band and surrender charge period selected and may be subject to a premium bonus recapture. Some products with bonuses may offer lower growth rates or caps. Please consult your financial advisor. Terms and conditions apply. See silekins.com disclosures.

[Ethan]

Thanks very much, Christy. Well done. We were accused earlier in the program of perhaps spoiling the ending of the Great Movie Stalag 17 by mentioning that the Allies won World War II.

[Christy Lee]

I think I knew that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Oh, you did? Okay, so we didn't spoil Peter Graves is a Spy coming up. Also, if we have time, we're going to squeeze in some dinosaur love stories and a comedian. Lewis Black and Leanne Morgan. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts. For all your car care needs, get the parts of service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

She's at the News Center. There's Pat Godwin. Hey, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace Cosby.

[Ethan]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Ethan]

Hello. Chick McGee. We have a. A kind of a sports update, I think. I think Chick wasn't here for the first part of this story.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Matt Khalil, who played for the Minnesota Vikings.

[Tom Griswold]

I was not here for this story.

[Christy Lee]

His wife divorced. Ex wife. Yeah, well, his. Yeah, ex wife.

[Ethan]

I've got the quote. She said he was like two Coke cans on top of each other. Maybe a third, implying the size of his male member was.

[Josh Arnold]

That's 24 ounces.

[Christy Lee]

That's like the size of a Pringles. Can we just. We kind of determined.

[Tom Griswold]

Three. Three Coke cans, 36 ounces.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. Well, guess what. Cam Soda has offered Matt Khalil $300,000 to showcase his member online as part of its Big Confidence campaign.

[Josh Arnold]

You not just take that.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, you take it.

[Tom Griswold]

Talk about leaving money on the table.

[Josh Arnold]

Show the world your d. Who cares?

[Tom Griswold]

No one cares.

[Christy Lee]

Cam Soda vice president Darren Parker said, quote, this campaign celebrates men who can laugh at themselves, own their story, and turn viral moments into him.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, I know. If I were hung like a Pringles, can I. I would just laugh at myself.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, silly.

[Josh Arnold]

The ability to laugh at oneself.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Eddie. May I see it?

[Ethan]

He. He has. Since I don't have it in front of me, but I remember another story. It said that he has since remarried and I believe has a child.

[Christy Lee]

Well.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure it works.

[Tom Griswold]

It probably doesn't even have to.

[Ethan]

I'm just guessing, by the way, that his new wife apparently has quite the cup holder.

[Josh Arnold]

So to speak.

[Ethan]

Yes. To continue the. To continue the analogy. You see, he's got a Coke.

[Josh Arnold]

She's built like a Stanley down there.

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah. Wow, man, that's. But I. You can see why he wouldn't do it.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, I. I don't.

[Ethan]

As a kid, I mean.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, he does.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. But who cares?

[Pat Godwin]

Kids going to college.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly.

[Ethan]

And a Pat was offered money because. I understand. Pat, you were offered some cash because yours look. Looks like a line of Coke.

[Pat Godwin]

It may be short, but it's thin. Yeah, it's a line of Coke.

[Josh Arnold]

And so pale, apparently.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, a line of Coke.

[Ethan]

I'm so sorry. You're the one that has the song Greek physique, don't you?

[Pat Godwin]

I know. I'm with you on this one. That was funny.

[Josh Arnold]

The narrator isn't always the writer.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Ethan]

Oh, that's a story about somebody else.

[Pat Godwin]

Red Badge of Courage, local color. It's called when you haven't really done that or been.

[Ethan]

So we had a. We had a Johnny Tremaine reference last week. Now we're doing Red Badge of Courage.

[Pat Godwin]

He never actually was in the war.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. Ever read Touchdown for Tommy boy? That's a great book.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it a good one?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's a good one. He scores a touchdown.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember the mouse and the motorcycle.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Remember that one?

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great one.

[Josh Arnold]

A little mouse, the road, a motorcycle.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Who doesn't want to read that?

[Tom Griswold]

I want to read it. I want to see the mouse. Yes, I know.

[Ethan]

It's a time to switch gears here. Coming up, I. I think we're to talk about.

[Tom Griswold]

With.

[Ethan]

In person, maybe with comedian Lewis Black and comedian Leanne Morgan was great talking with Castakia Kahnamopoulos. We do have a link to some of those photographs that he took while in Berlin.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, that's a movie.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

Lewis Black and Leanne Morgan. Oh, on a trip to Berlin.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

I would watch that movie if you just walked into a pitch meeting and said that.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, I'm in.

[Christy Lee]

I thought you were talking about Kostaki's little story and how sweet it was.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't care about that crap.

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah. Saving a guy's life, that doesn't matter. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I swear, I thought it was lending money.

[Ethan]

Don't you think?

[Josh Arnold]

Lewis Black and Leanne Morgan, as a bickering married couple, you know they love each other, but they're just. Something's off.

[Pat Godwin]

The mix of sweetness and grit. Southern sweetness, yes.

[Ethan]

And it'll be called Murder in Berlin. But you don't know who's going to kill who. Sorry. Let's get back to Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. What have we missed?

[Christy Lee]

Well, we're days away from Thanksgiving and a new poll reveals how long the average American's hospitality typically lasts. According to the Talker research survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, folks believe a guest is overstaying their welcome if they stay longer than. How many days?

[Josh Arnold]

Three.

[Christy Lee]

Five and a half, six days.

[Ethan]

Oh, you would have a guest at your house five and a half days?

[Leanne Morgan]

It's not me.

[Tom Griswold]

He said, how much would I would think?

[Christy Lee]

Respondents said their children are able to stay for 10 days and parents have an eight day grace period before it becomes an imposition. Girls, if you're listening, you're welcome to stay as long as you want. In laws, however, are only welcome for five days. A third of respondents said that they drop hints to motivate their guests to.

[Ethan]

Leave, like not flushing the toilet in their room.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a policy in place?

[Ethan]

No, I just think.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a lot of guests?

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah, yeah. But I mean, I won't. I hate staying at anyone's house.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a.

[Pat Godwin]

It's a bed and breakfast.

[Christy Lee]

Have you ever even been there?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Christy Lee]

Me either.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Ethan]

Well, I mean, Josh, more than welcome to stay.

[Josh Arnold]

No, Ace, I've been there.

[Ethan]

There you go. Now, I don't like staying in other people's house.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, don't. Don't mistake fear for friendship. Okay, here's my friend.

[Ethan]

The.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sure that's the way Tom feels.

[Ethan]

Do you like staying at other people's houses?

[Christy Lee]

Not particularly. I feel like I'm in the way all the time.

[Ethan]

Even toward the end. I'd go to my mom's house, I'd.

[Christy Lee]

Stay at a hotel, but I. I like having guests.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I won't even stay at your mom's house.

[Christy Lee]

Why not stay at your mom's?

[Pat Godwin]

She's no longer with us. There's no house?

[Ethan]

No. But I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Crazy. Hello, welcome.

[Christy Lee]

Even your old house, you're like.

[Ethan]

I would stay there occasionally, but I. I really like being in a hotel and having because especially when you've got kids running around.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'd never.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I see. It wasn't just you.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I would love that.

[Ethan]

You know, I like having guests. I just don't like being one.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. Hosting can be a lot of work.

[Ethan]

And if you're there after six days. Come on. That's unless someone makes it very clear that you want them there.

[Christy Lee]

While hosting can be a lot of work, 55% of Americans surveyed believe the work that goes into it is absolutely worth it.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, they were on. They're wrong.

[Ethan]

I think the analogy would be house guests are like tampons.

[Leanne Morgan]

What?

[Ethan]

You shouldn't be using one for more than six days a month.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you don't want those. Fair in. In laws. Toxic shock, they call it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I would never stay at anyone's house that I know. Never anyone, ever.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I like staying at my brothers because then I wake up and the nieces and nephews are there.

[Christy Lee]

I love having my kids home, but.

[Josh Arnold]

I also like staying at a hotel.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Your own kids. Yeah. That's different. What did they say? What was the. For an adult children. What was the adult children?

[Christy Lee]

10 days. Parents have an 8 day grace period before it becomes an imposition.

[Ethan]

But in today's world, a lot of times they're moving back in.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Like the Italians do.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, like the Italians. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry, I kind of lost the thread.

[Ethan]

That's a famous cultural thing in Italy.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's also a famous cultural thing with Asians. With Irish people. Yeah, yeah. The Jewish faith.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

No, it's an Italian thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Ethan]

Very Irish.

[Pat Godwin]

To go in your mom's basement.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's shine a little light on this. Now, what is your contention? The Italian people are the only ones.

[Ethan]

We had a news story about this a few years ago.

[Christy Lee]

Italian men is what?

[Ethan]

Yeah. Italian men tend to live at their parents house until they get married. And that the age of that is going up and up and up and it's a bit.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right?

[Ethan]

Yes. We did it. We had a news story about.

[Christy Lee]

He's right about. I do.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that's just. That's just different from moving out and then moving back in with your family to never leave with them.

[Ethan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Ma, we got chicken or what?

[Ethan]

Exactly.

[Christy Lee]

You have a song for us, Pat?

[Pat Godwin]

Tom asked me to favor you guys with a tune that kind of relates to this.

[Christy Lee]

Does he?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

We're tipsy at Thanksgiving and only 17 the cherry Cokes. Don't tell our folks our rum and grenadine you know who's responsible for our inebriation? Dad's younger brother drunk at every occasion Drunken uncle pisses off your mom the one who buys you beer for your senior prom Drunken uncle sick on the side of the road Christmas Day spent the night hugging the commode Christmas Day spent the night hugging the commode I'm an uncle now and have lots of nephews and nieces I give them a sip of beer and they love me all to pieces I sing them silly songs, tell them dirty jokes I get myself shot on New Year's Eve to say please don't tell your folks hey, Drunken uncle One in every family the Trunk Brothers the odds are 1 in 3 my brother Chim is a judge Jack's a PhD with bloodshot eyes I realize the drunken uncle's me with bloodshot.

[Ethan]

Eyes he realized the drunken uncle's Drunken.

[Tom Griswold]

Uncle is better Drunken uncle, Drunken uncle.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

He's on the blast I fall into the cake and grab your mother's ass. I think I'm real funny. But no one laughs when they lend me a grand and never get back their money.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no one laughs when they lend.

[Josh Arnold]

Them a grand and never get back their money.

[Ethan]

Hey, he's better, Joe. I always forget to do that. Yeah, that's it. Is the season for the drunken uncle to come over and.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Ethan]

Slip the kids the. The key to the liquor cabinet. There's also the thing that Thanksgiving where certain people wander off about an hour before mealtime. We're going for a walk.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, this happens at his house. Of course. We've all met Willie.

[Ethan]

He's going off.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's go get a high before dinner.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

So Willie told me that Thanksgiving dinner. You guys always did do a walk before dinner.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's smoky.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's when Willie would say that, you know, fire up a fatty and get relaxed.

[Ethan]

And I think. And I guess it looks like we're doing a Thanksgiving at my house this year. Ah, it's Pat. You're one of the Christie's, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

She invited.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You're welcome.

[Pat Godwin]

She's the only one who has invited me.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you're more than welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd invite you, but I'm going to be out of town, hopefully. Unless, you know, bus boys are. We could go to work at Air Traffic Control by then. I don't know. But. Yeah, I'm hoping.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Was it I wanted to, Wasn't it? I don't know for sure. Was it Benjamin Franklin that said something like, guests are like Fish. After three days, they're beginning to smell something to that effect.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not too sure.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Benjamin Franklin. Somewhat of a busy body. Okay. But I mean, keep your nose out of my business. He sure did, man. Worst president we ever had.

[Ethan]

But I like his money. What's the longest someone stayed at your place?

[Christy Lee]

Not including children?

[Ethan]

Yeah. Oh, boy.

[Christy Lee]

Probably a week.

[Ethan]

A week? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

My Uncle Joe came. Yeah. For probably a week.

[Ethan]

Did that go well? I mean.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, is this the Uncle Joe that was moving kind of slow?

[Christy Lee]

At the junction.

[Tom Griswold]

At the junction, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

That's okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what I thought.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Petticoat Junction.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

We're high at the holidays and only 17. The gummy bears and brownie squares are filled with THC. You know who is responsible for our intoxication? Dad's younger brother.

[Leanne Morgan]

Hi.

[Pat Godwin]

At every occasion, Smoky uncle and I. Paula Pie. Mom is really pissed. She says, look at that bastard's eyes. Yes. Smoky Uncle Manny's real fried. Every twine minutes. Yeah. He goes the smoke outside.

[Ethan]

A little sequel. Thank you very much.

[Pat Godwin]

There's many more verses, but I won't.

[Ethan]

We'll do it later.

[Christy Lee]

We'll have more Thanksgiving news coming up.

[Ethan]

Let's check in. We have, coming up, comedian Lewis Black. Comedian, actress Leanne Morgan. But right now, Chick McGee, you were holed up in your compound for about a week.

[Tom Griswold]

And I will be holed up in my compound. And I have a camera.

[Ethan]

Camera.

[Tom Griswold]

I can see you. And if you come and knock on my door wanting to stay longer than 23 minutes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there going to be a problem?

[Christy Lee]

23 minutes. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I have Simplisafe, the Do it Yourself home security system. I use my compound secure. And the Bob and Tom studios are secure. We use them here at work. And when you think of security, you probably think of that alarm in a house that reacts after an intruder has already broken in. Well, that's too late. Simply Safe is different.

[Ethan]

Yeah, yeah. Invented Pilates. Yeah, he was quite a reformer. Guy That's.

[Christy Lee]

You know that anyone. Reformer.

[Ethan]

Anyone. Reformation. Anybody, anybody.

[Tom Griswold]

You should be ashamed at that job.

[Ethan]

I think that any one of a.

[Tom Griswold]

If anyone else did that, you heard that you would go. Oh my God.

[Ethan]

Would go. The benefits of a classical education. Did you know he didn't actually nail, you know, the. The famous.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, did he post it? Note the. Yes, the tacky stuff on the door. Yeah, you know how the tacky stuff for posters up on your wall.

Oh, my God.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

For those who participate.

[Ethan]

Want to know the difference between dry cleaning and Martinizing? Never mind. How about this one? Ennio Marconi, born in 1928. Christy, who is it? I'll give you a hint.

[Christy Lee]

Radio. We have a Marconi in our office.

[Pat Godwin]

This is America.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. Me Morricone, here's your.

[Ethan]

Sorry, that's. I'm trying to get my lip. The composer of the.

[Pat Godwin]

[Tom Griswold]

You look like Shiffrin. Right?

[Christy Lee]

No, that's what you're talking about.

[Ethan]

Yeah, yeah, he did the.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like a foreigner.

[Ethan]

Oh, yes, a lot of the. The so called spaghetti westerns.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Ethan]

And by the way, Chick, were you here for this? This was one of my favorite things of last week. We got this letter from Sean. His son calls lasagna spaghetti cake. I am in for this from now on. So let's see.

[Josh Arnold]

He's done a ton of movie scores.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Marconi, right?

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's like Morricone or Morricone. I forget exactly how they say it.

[Christy Lee]

But it's a misdirection.

[Ethan]

It's m O R. Yeah, it makes cowboys look cool while they sit there eating beans.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

You know, looking at their horses.

[Tom Griswold]

Lalo Shiffrin is Argentine and I think he Mission Impossible.

[Ethan]

The comedian. Sinbad.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's right.

[Ethan]

Born in 50. A great guy. He's been. He's was born in 1956 on this date. It's kind of a Christian editorial, really. Sin bad.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, comedically. You have to know that Pastor Running Altar Pu, my friend.

[Ethan]

Oh, here's one for you, chick. Mike McCarthy, born in 63, former Packer coach.

[Tom Griswold]

Now former former Cowboy coach. Yeah, Packer coach of the Rams to a Super Bowl. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

When he was like offensive court when.

[Christy Lee]

He was like a kid. Wasn't he really young?

[Tom Griswold]

No, that's Mike March.

[Josh Arnold]

Thinking about Mike. Oh, I am thinking about Mike Mart.

[Tom Griswold]

But when I went aren't whatever that's true.

[Ethan]

Now, Christy Lee, this one came up.

[Tom Griswold]

With the greatest show on turf.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Mike March. Miss him. Miss him.

[Ethan]

This. This one's for you, Chris. Hugh Bonneville, born in the state in 63.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. He's in Downton Abbey.

[Ethan]

He's also in Paddington. Far superior, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom Griswold. Have you seen anything online about Paddington?

[Ethan]

Oh, the show.

[Tom Griswold]

The show. The live show in the West End in London.

[Ethan]

Yeah, I have.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. It's amaz. They have a Paddington. And it's.

[Josh Arnold]

It looks incredible.

[Tom Griswold]

It's unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[Josh Arnold]

The fourth movie versus Predator.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Patties and kicks ass.

[Ethan]

The first two Paddingtons are great. The third one, not so Patty.

[Tom Griswold]

The guy who's talking. Paddington's voice also works the mouth. The actor in the suit is obviously the arms and everything like that, but it's amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

Is he a Midge?

[Tom Griswold]

Could be. Could be a smaller person. Yes.

[Ethan]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

You.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I meant. I meant of the puppeting midges. They're a family.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I see. Kevin, Stephen, Midge. They changed the game. Yeah, I think we got out of that. Okay. I don't think so.

[Ethan]

Let's see now. Sesame street premiered in the state on PBS in 1969. Huge sponsorship.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Ethan]

Yeah. The number three.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, my favorite thing, my favorite story now about Sesame street is young Josh Arnold was inconsolable when he found out that Cookie Monster wasn't actually ingesting the cookies. They were flying out of his mouth.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, I was real young. What was this guy doing?

[Tom Griswold]

Wasting a perfect.

[Josh Arnold]

You're not ingesting those at all, by the way.

[Ethan]

Coming up, we have Oreos in the news. Lastly, in history. Great song. Uptown Funk released in the state in 2014. That first line.

[Tom Griswold]

Michelle.

[Ethan]

Michelle Pfeiffer. That white gold. This is for them hood girls.

[Christy Lee]

Not hood girls.

[Ethan]

Oh, it's good girls. Hood girls.

[Christy Lee]

He's talking to our guest who just got here.

[Josh Arnold]

Look up Uptown Funk, will you, Hoffy? It's under the folder. Mediocrity.

[Ethan]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

You are so wrong. Okay, okay.

[Lewis Black]

More.

[Tom Griswold]

Stay in the Time deserves royalty, but still, it's a great song.

[Ethan]

Okay, well, that'll do it. Christy Lee, what have you got over there?

[Christy Lee]

I was looking up. Okay, Michelle Pfeiffer, the white gold. This one's for them good girls. Them Good Girls.

[Ethan]

Straight masterpiece.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy, that.

[Ethan]

That really hits the heart. I thought it was for the hood girls.

[Christy Lee]

No, it's.

[Lewis Black]

No, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Either way.

[Ethan]

I thought it was like Michelle Pfeiffer over here. But the hood girls are the Ones.

[Christy Lee]

Ones that can D. No, no, no.

[Ethan]

All these years I had it wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it is for the hood girls.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it is important.

[Christy Lee]

Come on.

[Josh Arnold]

Seminal message.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll, we'll.

[Ethan]

We'll get it. Wow. Josh came back bitter.

[Tom Griswold]

I still say, you know, when you.

[Josh Arnold]

Go away for a couple days, you realize how life is supposed to be.

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah, Sleep, sleeping, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and if you haven't seen Bruno do that song live on Saturday Night Live, it's incredible. Guy sucks. It's unbelievable.

[Christy Lee]

What is wrong with you?

[Josh Arnold]

Bruno Mars is not good. There's nothing wrong with me.

[Pat Godwin]

Millionaire is a fine song. I enjoy that.

[Tom Griswold]

What about Gorilla One where I. You don't like gorilla?

[Josh Arnold]

I'll throw a grenade for.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, now that's a bit weak.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Okay, you got one. Christy, you can squeeze in one quick.

[Tom Griswold]

You're a sad, sad man.

[Ethan]

Or you can wait. Whatever.

[Christy Lee]

Whatever you'd like, sir. I'm here for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's just leave it and run.

[Pat Godwin]

Just wait.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's. Who's with me? Seriously, if we could vote. Seriously, just k. Best. I'm on switch. Just get out.

[Ethan]

We'll tell our guest, Mr. Lewis Black. Sorry, we decided we were going to take a breather.

[Christy Lee]

What is. We're going to talk about the number one airport snack.

[Ethan]

The number one airport snacks.

[Josh Arnold]

Cinnabon's got to be up there.

[Christy Lee]

Actually, we have the top 10 bananas.

[Josh Arnold]

Is this in term of sales or what?

[Christy Lee]

People, this is Tom and Ethan. All I have is from Delish, the number one airport Snap.

[Ethan]

And I find this list to be completely fraudulent, but go ahead.

[Christy Lee]

Number 10, the gummy bears from Haribo. I don't really like gummy bears, but that's just.

[Ethan]

Unless they're loaded.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't say that. I don't like them loaded either.

[Ethan]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Doritos Cool Ranch. They're a number nine.

[Josh Arnold]

Who's eating Doritos Cool Ranch at an airport?

[Pat Godwin]

Gummy Bears.

[Tom Griswold]

I am. I have Doritos Cool Ranch. Yeah, I do that.

[Christy Lee]

Number eight, Welch's Fruit snacks.

[Lewis Black]

Oh, come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Never in my life.

[Ethan]

In Swedish. I. This is the number one thing consumed at the airport. Is booze on there? I've seen those bars.

[Christy Lee]

Snacks. I don't think they include booze or restaurants or these are just snacks that.

[Ethan]

You would buy at like, okay, the bookstore.

[Christy Lee]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sure. Your Hudson News.

[Christy Lee]

All those Dunkin Donuts is on here. So that's number seven. So that doesn't kind of skews the. I don't know how they. I don't know how they did this. Sour Patch Kids is number six.

[Ethan]

No. Do Cheetos. Are those the ones that give you the pink Fingers. Orange fingers.

[Tom Griswold]

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

The Jack Links, please.

[Christy Lee]

And according to delish, the number one airport snack, Oreos.

[Lewis Black]

No, it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

You just don't see. I haven't seen any of these.

[Christy Lee]

I haven't seen anybody eat any of these either.

[Ethan]

I told you. This, this, this is fraudulent. I don't buy this.

[Lewis Black]

I didn't see an Oreo. I'm wandering through Newark Airport, which is huge yesterday, and you know what was on my mind? Where am I going to get an Oreo?

[Josh Arnold]

You know how you get your airport milk? What are you supposed to dunk in it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Well, delicious.

[Christy Lee]

They're crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Not correct.

[Christy Lee]

There has to have been a category, like things you buy at the.

[Ethan]

At the convenience store and the things that you pay three times their normal retail price.

[Christy Lee]

Right, Chick?

[Josh Arnold]

Do you have an airport snack?

[Tom Griswold]

I gravitate toward, like the Ho Hos and the Ding Dong, when I can find them.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, so you'll.

[Ethan]

You'll have a. I have the same routine.

[Tom Griswold]

And my beverage of choice, Diet Pepsi is tough, tough to find in most airports.

[Ethan]

At this airport, I get there early.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Get a cappuccino and get my shoes shined.

[Lewis Black]

Wow.

[Ethan]

I mean, where else do you see a shine? Yeah, go ahead.

[Pat Godwin]

It's all you. It's all you. Tomorrow.

[Ethan]

This.

[Tom Griswold]

How about this? From here on out, let's say shoe shine person. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Or a shoe shiner.

[Ethan]

No, but they're really.

[Lewis Black]

There's a I.

[Pat Godwin]

Or stop.

[Ethan]

That's what I say.

[Tom Griswold]

Stop singing the praises of getting your shoe shine.

[Ethan]

It is. I. I like to get there early. Kelly. Kelly does not. But if I get there early. By the way, this week they're saying two hours early for domestic flights.

[Lewis Black]

That's bs.

[Christy Lee]

They've always said that.

[Ethan]

Two hours for domestic flight.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't have a problem. In any event, I like to be there early.

[Ethan]

Again, I like to wear leather shoes. Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you. And I get them polished at the airport. That's. Where else do you see a shoe shine person?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Turner Classic.

[Ethan]

I mean. Lewis, are you wearing leather shoes or wearing tennis shoes?

[Lewis Black]

I'm wearing tennis shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he's wearing a nice pair of aces.

[Lewis Black]

You know what I'd like to do today in the snow is wear some nice leather jack shoes that I can slide My right up to see you.

[Ethan]

God. Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

And you know, and I'll tell you, folks out there, it's a big expensive operation here. They have not cleared the sidewalks. Okay? Not even close. Oh, we got a legend coming in. Let's kill him.

[Ethan]

Well, it might be good for the social media. Here's the last place Lewis. Lewis Black breathed before he slipped. Boom. So sorry. No, you. Where else can you get your shoe shine?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you have an airport snack? Your cappuccino, though, was a must.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

And I. Depending on how long the flight is, I don't like to use a toilet on an airplane, so I do not hydrate.

[Josh Arnold]

I see.

[Ethan]

I do not want to be that guy, you know, where you're all of a sudden the, the, the lights on that you can't get up and you've really got to go and what about you, Josh?

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a snack?

[Josh Arnold]

No, not occasionally. I'll have a. A breakfast sandwich, something like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I like a nut. I'll take a nut on the plane.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's a reasonable snack.

[Ethan]

I assure you. It's four Jameson.

[Pat Godwin]

Is a double shot of Jameson considered a snack?

[Lewis Black]

I don't think, Louis. Yes, I think it's a snack. You know.

[Pat Godwin]

They are delicious.

[Christy Lee]

Oreos are also in the news for something else today.

[Ethan]

Oh, I see. This is a great story.

[Christy Lee]

They've released cookies inspired by Thanksgiving. The new fudge covered cookies come in flavors. Are you ready?

[Tom Griswold]

Stop. Oreos, stop.

[Christy Lee]

They come in apple caramel.

[Lewis Black]

Stop.

[Tom Griswold]

See?

[Christy Lee]

Pumpkin pie.

[Lewis Black]

No, no, no, no.

[Ethan]

Just have.

[Lewis Black]

Why don't you just have a big squash? You know, let's do squash.

[Christy Lee]

It gets worse. Turkey and stuffing Oreo. These are fudge covered.

[Ethan]

So do they taste like the taste of turkey and chocolate?

[Christy Lee]

Turkey and stuffing and chocolate.

[Tom Griswold]

I bet they're absolutely amazing.

[Christy Lee]

There's the sweet potato fudge covered Oreo.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, I know every time I've bitten in an Oreo, I think this could use more sage.

[Christy Lee]

Creamed corn flavored.

[Ethan]

Oh, boy.

[Christy Lee]

And cranberry sauce packaged inside an Oreo shaped tin. The $20 set includes two cookies of each flavor and it's available limited time only.

[Tom Griswold]

A solitary existence of my Thanksgiving dinner recreated through Oreo cookies.

[Ethan]

I think, and I'm not sure I believe Oreos are vegan. Oh, no.

[Josh Arnold]

So that's just how natural they are.

[Ethan]

I wonder if that is affected by this. Or do they do a tofurkey one one? Pat, you were a vegan there for a long time.

[Lewis Black]

A little bit.

[Ethan]

Aren't Oreos vegan? I don't know. I. I believe that creamy middle had some kind of dairy.

[Josh Arnold]

You would hope.

[Ethan]

I think it's a non dairy creamer. I. I'll do some homework and find out.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, please get on that and write me.

[Ethan]

You mean send a letter to your executor?

[Lewis Black]

Yes, because.

[Ethan]

Do you want to be cremated? Seriously? I think they are vegan.

[Josh Arnold]

Oreos have kind of lost their minds.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they have.

[Leanne Morgan]

No, it's great.

[Ethan]

They're good either.

[Josh Arnold]

Every year Oreos and The M&M's people have kind of gone crazy.

[Ethan]

What about your favorite Reese's Pieces?

[Josh Arnold]

That's what. That's just. They don't change. That's just chocolate and peanut butter.

[Ethan]

But don't they make them in the shape of pumpkins?

[Christy Lee]

No, you're talking about Reese's cups and.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'm sorry, but they don't really muck with the ingredients.

[Christy Lee]

It's just the shape of it.

[Ethan]

The different shape makes it taste.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, there is a different peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Again, we'll talk about this with our findings.

[Ethan]

Are you a candy eater, Lewis? Yeah. Oh, really?

[Lewis Black]

But not a lot. I mean, I like. I'm. I'm big now on chocolate chip cookies. I'm in search of the.

[Ethan]

The best one and I know where it is. I can.

[Lewis Black]

Where? Next to the shoeshine stick.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Ethan]

I actually think they do. They're called Four Birds and I think they have them at the airport. I'll tell you the name.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good. That's a good.

[Ethan]

Do they have. Do they have at that coffee shop?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. I don't. I.

[Tom Griswold]

Four Birds.

[Ethan]

Okay, here's a quiz I want to give. I want to give Mr. Lewis Black, distinguished playwright, actor, comedian, acquisition, bon vivant, man about town. You're gonna get this.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Because you're a man of a certain age. I brought in Chunkies. The candy bar Chunky. These guys didn't believe they still made them and they thought they sounded ghastly. I brought them in last week because I gave them out of my house. The big size Chunky Ye. Yeah, they loved them. Do you remember the voice of Chunky when you were a kid? Wow.

[Lewis Black]

That would be. I just. I drifted into what Chunkies tasted like. I drifted away while you were talking about them. And the raisins and the nuts and the chocolate.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they're good.

[Christy Lee]

And raisins.

[Lewis Black]

Still making them.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

But do you remember who did the voiceover for the commercial?

[Lewis Black]

No.

[Ethan]

I'll give you another hint.

[Tom Griswold]

How about if you hear the commercial.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, Chunk, chunk, big chunk, chunky, thick, thick chunk, chunky. Open wide board.

[Lewis Black]

Here it comes.

[Tom Griswold]

Here he comes.

[Ethan]

The thickest nickel chocolate bar in the usa. Milk chocolate, raisins, Brazil nuts, cashews.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that, that is Mason Adams.

[Ethan]

That's Mason.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the one you're talking about right here. Here we go.

[Ethan]

Chunky. What a chunk of chocolate.

[Lewis Black]

Oh God.

[Tom Griswold]

He knows.

[Lewis Black]

That's the last voice I'm going to hear. And then the stroke happened.

[Ethan]

The. Your hint is it's a mad, mad, mad. Etc world. Arnold Stang.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, sir.

[Ethan]

We interviewed Arnold Stang once.

[Lewis Black]

Wow.

[Ethan]

What? Yeah, I mean this is.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. I have a follow up to his. What? How long we been doing this? Holy hell.

[Ethan]

I was so excited when they said do you want to talk to Arnold Stang? And went, oh, are you kidding? The guy that was in that one of the great comedy movies of all time and did the Chunky commercials, he was, he was kind of a pre Woody Allen voice. Woody Allen, very New York, New York voice.

[Josh Arnold]

But that looked like a turtle. He was getting very turtle.

[Tom Griswold]

Very turtle.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Turtle, turtle, turtle.

[Ethan]

Yeah. But chunky. I'd like if they need a new spokesman, perhaps Mr. Black would care to weigh in.

[Lewis Black]

Killed to be the spokesman for Chunky.

[Tom Griswold]

Chunky.

[Lewis Black]

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin. Hello. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace Cosby. Hello. I am Chick at the prize pick sports desk. And Tom, we have a very special.

[Ethan]

Guest and we're treating him right by ignoring him.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. We'll talk with them now.

[Ethan]

We just spent 20 minutes talking about Arnold Stain doing voiceovers, I guess I should say, Mr. Mr. Lewis Black, who has a wonderful speaking voice, famous for Inside out, the Pixar movie. You did a great job with that. Do you do any voiceover commercials anymore?

[Lewis Black]

No, because they don't realize the power that I have.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Would you, if you could match yourself up with a particular product, anything come.

[Lewis Black]

To mind that would be, wow, booze.

[Ethan]

Do you drink much?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

What, what brand? What flavor?

[Lewis Black]

I mean, I drink a lot of wine now, but then there's tequila and if Mezcal shows up with tequila, those are the ones I lean toward. I've been through them all. Everything.

[Ethan]

What anyone in the room want to think any particular product his voice would match up with?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, earlier he was talking. I don't know if you guys noticed, but we were talking about the Chunky bar and Louis, you went, boy, I haven't thought about one of those. The peanuts and the raisins and the chocolate.

[Kostaki Economopoulos]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it was, it was as though we were hearing a Chunky commercial.

[Ethan]

Yeah. And we all tried Chunkies and they're amazing. I'D forgotten how great they were. And I'm not that much of a candy person.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The.

[Lewis Black]

It's funny with the boy suburb thing, I mean, for some reason, I mean, inside out, it happened and I do. Like, I did a voice for Scooby Doo and I did. I just did spongebob. Here's the breakthrough as a Jew. I am the voice of Santa on spongebob for the last five years.

[Ethan]

Well, as you know, some of the greatest songs in the history of Christmas music written the. By. By men and women of the Jewish faith.

[Lewis Black]

That's right.

[Ethan]

The most famous.

[Lewis Black]

In a desperate attempt to hide.

[Ethan]

They'Re passing. Oh, that's great, though. But you have such a great. I would. I would think that you. Someone would gobble you up for one of those.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah. I was thinking. I've done some. I just. It never. It's just never happened. I don't understand it. But, you know, I've got the agent and they'll, you know. But it just doesn't occur.

[Ethan]

Oh, I think you're. You'd be an absolute natural.

[Tom Griswold]

What.

[Ethan]

And you started. I know you went to the Yale Drama School and you were a playwright. What was the first time you got up and tried to do stand up? Do you remember?

[Lewis Black]

Oh, yeah, it was 2122. I was a. There's a room. And I was going to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I was going into an extra year there as a. They'd given me a writing fellowship to stay on. And I went that summer and performed at a place called, oddly enough, Cat's Cradle and just opened. Friends of mine had a. Had a band and said, why don't you come in and do stand up? Because I was one of those people. It's that whole story of the. Every schmuck does well, boy, you know, I could do that. I go to a party, people say I'm really funny. And then you have to get on stage. My friend said just why don't just try it? And I went ahead and tried it and I. It's. It's on. I taped it and might as well had somebody write it down, considering how the first minute. This is my first minute of stand up.

[Josh Arnold]

It's good.

[Lewis Black]

So was the first word. It was unbelievably. It just. It was. I was a wreck and I. And then. And then this is when you kind of know you're gonna do. It is. You'll attest to you. I went back to the second week. I went back again after being just hard Horrible. My dog got bigger laughs than I did that night. And that was. He had kind of saved me. Came up on stage as a dog might, when the dog senses that you need to be rescued. And so he came on stage and the audience went haha. And I said, thank you.

[Ethan]

And then you became a playwright. Did that sort of. Of Was that working? And then you decided I'd do Stand up on the side and it took off or what happened?

[Lewis Black]

No, it was, I was doing. I just was doing it as a way to get my writing out there. Because you send a play in to a theater and then you can wait a year and a half for them to actually get back to you. You would, for anyone out there who wants to be a playwright, put the play in a bottle and take the bottle down to whatever body of water's nearby and throw it in.

[Ethan]

And.

[Lewis Black]

And I guarantee when someone finds it, that play will be read faster than if it's sent to an American. So I would wander in. I was kind of fascinated by stand up. You know, I just was. I'd watched a ton of it on the Ed Sullivan Show. I mean, once a week there was somebody and they were all different. They were all kind of fun in their own way. And I kept on, how do they do this? So I was kind of fascinated with the process. I didn't think I'd end up doing it at all.

[Ethan]

Did you, did you have a record you played over and over again as a kid?

[Lewis Black]

I mean, I played Carlin and I played, I played. This is Nichols in May. Of all people.

[Ethan]

I. I played, I played. Why is there Air? Bill Cosby.

[Lewis Black]

Yes.

[Ethan]

And Robert Klein. Child of the 50s was my favorite.

[Tom Griswold]

We were just talking about Nichols and May the other day. Yeah, out in the hallway.

[Ethan]

That's a great book. Yeah, the Mike Nichols bio.

[Lewis Black]

And then, and then there's a play, you know, New Heart, Shelly Berman.

[Ethan]

Oh, yeah.

[Lewis Black]

Those two, oddly enough, had a, A big effect because they told stories, you know, they were storytellers.

[Ethan]

Let me ask you, when you were a kid, you would have been probably, I don't know, maybe sixth, seventh grade. Did you get the album the First Family with Pawn Meter? Yeah, that was the first million selling album.

[Tom Griswold]

Album, yeah.

[Lewis Black]

And the first time I knew that somebody's career was over. He did a great second thought I had.

[Ethan]

He did a great Dug Right. John Kennedy.

[Lewis Black]

Wow. It was. And it was brilliant. Yes, again, it was brilliantly done. And then boom.

[Ethan]

But for a long time, that was the largest selling comedy album in history. Yeah, we're Speaking with Lewis Black, who is a terrific comedian and actor. What's anything coming up of interest? You got any new projects you want to talk about?

[Lewis Black]

Nah, nothing.

[Ethan]

This agent of yours got to get you some gigs.

[Lewis Black]

No, I got. I do a thing called a Rantcast. And what I do is I've been doing it for quite a while and I will be. I read rants that other people write and I'm like, I come on at the beginning and talk about whatever is bothering me and go for a little bit, 15 minutes. And then I read whatever they're, whatever they're upset about. And it can be everything. Some. I mean, the extraordinary thing. Thing is how angry Americans are about peanut butter. I've got about eight of those. Somebody gets a jar, he thinks it's going to be smooth and it's chunky. He wrote literally a seven minute soliloquy.

[Ethan]

I can't say I blame him. I hate the chunky.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Can't he read a label?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, but no, it was smooth. It was. Every now and then I said it was smooth and it was junky. So he completely melted down town. It went to his. Started writing this thing. To me, there's, there are people that. They're 22 different ideas about pickles. I mean, it's amazing what, you know, but. And then the, the CBS and the Walgreens, when they hand you, you know, you bought two things and they handed 12 foot scroll.

[Ethan]

Sure.

[Lewis Black]

You know, it's like they came down, you know that God came down and said, look at all the free stuff you can get. And, and it's, you know, somebody wrote about that. You know, it's, you know, it's, it's, it's kind of amazing.

[Ethan]

Now when you do a rant, do you, for example, right now you're on broadcast radio, do you have to be careful not to slip? Do you have like a limit of curse words that you think. To me I found out like with satellite radio, some of these guys, oh, they can curse and so they curse constantly and it loses all of its power.

[Lewis Black]

No, I mean, I just use it. I use those words and the big words word, the one that is just going to destroy us all. Because every time I've said it, a child will run toward the screen on the TV and actually try to kill themselves. But you know that I use that word at times. I realized early on that I was using it to think of what it was I was going to say next. It was kind of my pause and then. But also it fed into the Thing that I'm funny because I'm angry. So what's the word you're going to use?

[Tom Griswold]

All right, yeah, good point.

[Ethan]

Lewis Black is our guest, distinguished stand up comedian and podcaster and author. And have you written a play lately?

[Lewis Black]

I wrote one. I'm actually working. I'm starting to work on one. Part of the reason I'm kind of doing a lot less shows than I'd done. I've kind of quit the touring. I was doing 150 shows a year. And part of the reason. So I can. I wanna. I'm trying to write, which I don't know if it'll ever come to be, is a. My version of Our Town. Yeah. So I'm trying to do that. And I had one. I had a play that could not. I kept doing it and it was. They thought it was gonna be on Broadway. They thought it was gonna be here. They were not it. And then once I hit it as a comic, they said, oh, you've got that play. And I rewrote it and rewrote it. And that was eventually published and a number of the other plays were published, but I had to become a comic to get the plays published. Which should give you an idea of just how wonderful the American theater is.

[Ethan]

Were people on roller skates or wearing cat costumes?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, I wish.

[Ethan]

Okay, I think we're gonna switch gears here, I believe. Oh, there we go. Oh, wow. How can you be getting younger? What is the secret? We have Leanne Morgan joining us on the big screen, more gorgeous than ever.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, you doll. Honey. Thank you. I needed to hear that.

[Ethan]

And now your voice just adds to it. Your hair looks great. I hope. Is there someone in the background that did your hair for you or is this the.

[Leanne Morgan]

Honey, this is. I had grandbabies spend the night. Everybody was crying this morning. That's what this hairdo is. I fixed some sausage.

[Ethan]

Oh, good, good. We had a quiz.

[Lewis Black]

I'd like you to.

[Tom Griswold]

I love sausage. Don't you like sausage?

[Ethan]

What is your limit on if it gets guest comes to your home? This was a statistical survey that we read how. What is the maximum number of days before you want them to leave?

[Leanne Morgan]

I'd say two or three. Y', all. My nerves are shot. I didn't always feel that way, but I think as I get older, I mean, like three days.

[Ethan]

Yeah, yeah. The national stat was what, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Let's see.

[Ethan]

Was it six days?

[Josh Arnold]

Six days?

[Ethan]

Yeah. That's way too long.

[Josh Arnold]

And then longer for, you know, kids.

[Christy Lee]

10 days? Days. Or parents.

[Ethan]

Eight days now for for grandbabies. What is it?

[Leanne Morgan]

Never. They can stay with me for the.

[Ethan]

Rest of their life. That's what I thought your answer was going to be. Well, very good. Leanne Morgan is a distinguished actress. Comedian, Netflix renewed. Right? Am I right about this?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Okay, good.

[Josh Arnold]

You better be.

[Ethan]

If not. If not. Well, Tom said it was okay. And is there a new special? Is that what's happening? Is it like now, this week?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yes, my darling. It dropped November 4th. Unspeakable things.

[Ethan]

Yeah, yeah. Now, I'm not in favor of using the word dropped. It bothers me. I don't know how you feel, Louis Black, but is that some kind of hipster inside lingo?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, it is.

[Ethan]

Hey, my special dropped.

[Lewis Black]

But it's what they came up with out there. The people who don't know anything about it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Because if.

[Leanne Morgan]

Right. Louis Black. Hello, my darling. I'm a huge fan. Well, never gotten to me.

[Lewis Black]

No, we haven't. And it's wrong.

[Ethan]

I know.

[Leanne Morgan]

Little Kathleen Madden.

[Lewis Black]

I know you do.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know everybody that knows you. So I'm so tickled to see you, my darling.

[Lewis Black]

Great to see you.

[Josh Arnold]

We've already been pitching a movie where you two are married and kind of on the outs but wanting to stay together.

[Tom Griswold]

And War of the Roses, they just came out with that one.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Sort of the out of town towners type situation.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Leanne Morgan]

But we get to make out.

[Ethan]

Absolutely.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's a hard R.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, it's naughty.

[Ethan]

He's a very handsome man. Now, we were actually pitching Mr. Lewis Black, among as many credentials. He is the voice in a. A great Pixar movie.

[Josh Arnold]

But two.

[Ethan]

Oh, there was a sequel. Has anybody ever pitched you for a. A commercial for TV to be the voiceover gal? Because you have a beautiful voice.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, you angel. They pitched me for it. I've never gotten it.

[Ethan]

What is going on?

[Josh Arnold]

You will.

[Ethan]

Yeah. Now what?

[Josh Arnold]

Let's.

[Ethan]

Let's just pretend we are working with the great Leanne Morgan. We want to pitch. What product Christy Lee should she be pitching?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy. Probably. Maybe, like she said, sausage. Like biscuits or sausage or something. Yes, like a home cooking thing.

[Commercial Announcer]

Like.

[Christy Lee]

Like that would be fun.

[Ethan]

Okay, okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

But let me tell y', all, I have gotten offers to do the shingles vaccine.

[Pat Godwin]

Wow.

[Ethan]

Well, that's. By the way, that's a really important thing to get by the way.

[Christy Lee]

That's important.

[Leanne Morgan]

But I. Oh, I've gotten it and had to take to the band for four days. That is a nightmare.

[Ethan]

A public service. My dad had polio and it was in an Iron lung during World War II when he had shingles, he said it was worse. So you don't want to get. You don't want to get shingles?

[Leanne Morgan]

Honey, I've had shingles three times, boys. I hate to say that. All these good looking men, I've had them once. I've had them three times. But this last time, my shingles vaccine, I think tampered it down a little bit.

[Ethan]

Okay, good.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, well, I had it. I had both shots because this is the one I had the first time. And they came out with one shot. I got that. And then within two, two to three years, I got shingles after getting the shot, then they came up with the two shots. Be sure you get the second one. And then I got it again. It's unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

Our next guest.

[Ethan]

Our next guest, RFK Jr.

[Leanne Morgan]

I know. They tell me, isn't it crazy? I thought I'd never get it again. They go, oh, no, that vaccine doesn't keep you from getting it.

[Ethan]

It just makes it go less. Yeah, okay.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah, it just goes less.

[Ethan]

I think.

[Leanne Morgan]

Chuck Morgan, my husband, still trying to make out with me and touch me, of course, with the shingles, he's a man. He will not leave me alone.

[Ethan]

I'm. I'm trying to. Like a lot of commercials now for plaintiffs lawyers. Either of these guys could do. They could be good for that. Yeah. Have you been in an accident? Lewis, you're hostile enough. You could either say any. All the. All the rest of the lawyers are no good, but you got to go to my guy.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, no, that I could do.

[Ethan]

Yeah, that'd be good.

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lewis Black]

I should be a lawyer.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Lewis Black]

And just without. And without any law degree. Just go in there and tell.

[Ethan]

By the way, Kim Kardashian flunked the bar exam again.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, she did.

[Ethan]

She's not going to be one of your clients. Let's get back. Leanne, we should think of a better product for you. Josh, do you have an idea for her? I mean.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't. Yeah, maybe anything. Household your brawny your.

[Christy Lee]

Because women trust her and believe in her.

[Ethan]

Exactly.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

They love her. And. And, yeah, y'.

[Leanne Morgan]

All. You would think I'd be rolling in it. Something for time detergent.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It's only a matter.

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, well, you know, you got to look more like Peyton Manning. Nothing irritates me more.

[Tom Griswold]

He's in every.

[Ethan]

I saw. I was watching again yesterday. He's in every ad.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Lewis Black]

You know, and you. I mean, really, literally, you. You'll. They'll come your way, but it's you know, and then you'll go, really? That's what you want me to do? And then you'll say. And then they'll show you a check. You go, yeah, sure.

[Leanne Morgan]

I do want to be in a Pixar movie. And I think that I could play like an old hen in the barn.

[Christy Lee]

You know, Or a little.

[Leanne Morgan]

A wise cow. A wise cow with this accent, you know?

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Ethan]

I think you're nailing it. That would be great. We asked the same question of Mr. Lewis Black. Do you recall your first experience on stage A and B? The first time a joke worked? And it may have not been the first time.

[Leanne Morgan]

It may have been, yeah, y', all, I have an untraditional path. I was in Morristown, Tennessee, having had three babies, and somebody in my Sunday school class asked me to emcee the Kiwanis Cave. And I did, and I dazzled. And so a little man that owned a coffee shop and, like, made sandwiches and sold beer said, we've had bands. Will you get up and do comedy? And I was like, sure. And he said, can you do an hour? And I was like, yeah.

[Ethan]

Wow.

[Leanne Morgan]

I got up and did an hour, and I still wake up with sweats in the middle of the night. Cause I know somebody filmed it, y'.

[Tom Griswold]

All.

[Leanne Morgan]

And it had to have sucked. But I did get a few laughs. But it was probably shocking stuff. I mean, I don't even know. I probably talked about birthing. I don't. I mean, I was grasping and pulling stuff out of my butt. But that was the first time I did 45 minutes to an hour, the first time I ever got on stage, which is stupid.

[Lewis Black]

Did you do stupid? Did you do that after you did that, did you go back and then do it again long sets? Or did you. Then.

[Leanne Morgan]

Then I went. Then we moved to San Antonio, Texas. And then I did open mic one time, and then I got moved up to, you know, opener. And then I. You know, and I was going back and forth to Austin Cap City Comedy Club, and then it was normal. I was normal comic, you know, But. Yeah, but I had a bunch of little babies, Louis. And I was getting up on stage anywhere anybody would let me. And Mark Tennessee, which was like the Rotary Club, you know?

[Ethan]

How was that? Hey, it was the launch. It was the launch pad. We're speaking with Leanne Morgan, also hanging out with Lewis Black, two great comedians. Leanne, once again tell us the short version of the new special. What's going on?

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, my darling. Well, you know, everybody says I look prettier because I got made a little money lately, so I want everybody to know I'm prettier in this one. My breast. My breasts are not as mamaish.

[Tom Griswold]

Can I say that?

[Leanne Morgan]

Yeah. We shot this in Wilmington, North Carolina, and it's, you know, I'm a storyteller, so it's still, you know, me doing my thing, talking about all these kids and Chuck Morgan and I talk a little bit about being in a movie for the first time. And my take on it is not a Hollywood take, Lewis. My take is I ate too much crafty and my ankle swelled and they had to poke an extra hole in my strap on my sandal. So that. Because I was retaining fluid. And I hate to even say that in front of you boys, but anyway, it's just that kind of stuff, y', all and I. And it's been in the time top 10 on Netflix, which is a blessing from heaven. I never. These squid games, you know, I don't know what the squid games are, but no kidding. Young people are watching that.

[Ethan]

I don't know. Yeah. Bring yourself a little joy. Check out. Check out Leanne Morgan. Well, Elaine, you do look. Leanne, you do look lovely. And your watch is larger than your. Your arm. That is one.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, my Lord, y'.

[Tom Griswold]

All.

[Leanne Morgan]

My. Yeah, I don't know if I like this, but I do love my Apple watch. And I talk about it in this new hour. About how I like to ding that thing so you can find your iPhone.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, I did that today.

[Leanne Morgan]

That's the best thing that ever happened to me.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yes, I agree.

[Christy Lee]

I totally with you.

[Ethan]

I can't wait to see the special. And Leanne, you are just so sweet and nice, and you do look wonderful. We haven't seen the studio for a while. I think she's become too big for us.

[Christy Lee]

I think so, too.

[Leanne Morgan]

Oh, that's not true, my darling. I just wrapped a big tour, so I'm going to. To be. I've got to shoot my new season of Leanne. I'll be in la, out in that from January to May, probably, and then I'll go back on tour and I can come by and see y'.

[Ethan]

All. Well, tell. Tell craft services to cut it out more.

[Leanne Morgan]

No more empanadas for me.

[Tom Griswold]

More carrots.

[Ethan]

Okay. Thanks, Leanne Morgan. Check out the new special Netflix and the show, of course, on Netflix. Thank you so much. So much.

[Leanne Morgan]

Thank you.

[Ethan]

She sure is great now. I do like them.

[Christy Lee]

Makes you smile, didn't you?

[Lewis Black]

Yeah, she's great.

[Ethan]

But again, two of the most distinctive voices.

[Christy Lee]

True.

[Ethan]

You could play 50 random voices. Everyone's gonna go, oh, that's Lewis Black.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Ethan]

They're gonna. Oh, that, yeah, that's Leanne Warner. So, I mean, I don't. Maybe we should become agents and start pitching these guys for some cool stuff. Maybe they could do a product together. We do voices for money.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I was gonna say. What are you doing?

[Tom Griswold]

What the hell's your problem?

[Ethan]

I mean, so many people want these. The mellifluous Shaker Heights voice of moi.

He is comedian, actor, playwright. Lewis Black is here with us in the studio. It's a great pleasure to have you here. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by. What was plan B, by the way? When you're coming up, if this, if the comedy thing and the playwright thing hadn't worked out, was there a plan B? Was there?

[Lewis Black]

I was going to teach.

The offense is not bad, but that defense, Tom, you and I could star on that defense if they put it down on the field.

[Ethan]

I knew you were a big Washington football club.

[Tom Griswold]

Real bad.

[Ethan]

You can watch segments of our program. We've got a bunch of stuff going on, including some great stuff from Paul Thorne last week, our great chat with Leanne Morgan and with the great Lewis Black today. So much fun. Also, we've got a thing tomorrow. I think we've already got it posted. It's a link to Operation Honor Guard, a very important program, especially for Veterans Day. So we'll show some respect and check it out. And we are in the Aurelioto Parts studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
