Because the world of the NHL making the international newswire.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. Boy. Yeah. I watched yesterday find after finding out, well, after seeing Friday that he had scored two and had tied it up, could have, could have won it Friday if he had chosen to play during the open netter. But he went, nope. I want to go against a goaltender.

[Bob or Tom]

But he did do it in New York, Is that correct?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Al Jackson]

What does open netter mean?

[Josh Arnold]

A lot of times near the end of the game, the other team will pull the goalie so that they get more players on the ice. And so he didn't want to just shoot into an empty net.

[Bob or Tom]

We're talking about Alex Ovechkin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. So he did it. He beat Gretzky yesterday.

[Bob or Tom]

Was he still a citizen of Russia? How does that work exactly?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know if he's technically a citizen or he has dual citizenship or not. I'm not too sure. But he is a filthy commie.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Hey, no name calling.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm surprised. Why didn't Putin come over here and watch? I was kind of thinking Trump would go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I guess it wasn't 100% sure. You know, you never know if the guy's going to do it or not.

[Bob or Tom]

I wonder if he, I wonder if the president will show up at the Indy 500.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't know.

[Bob or Tom]

He's done a bunch of these big events. Daytona, et cetera, et cetera. That'd be interesting. In any event, Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Was Gretzky there?

[Bob or Tom]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And I mean, as classy as anybody, just really Passing the baton with Grace.

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And Hovies. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Extraordinarily attractive.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, is she? I don't know. I'm sorry.

[Bob or Tom]

Hot. Hot.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you hoping that Gretzky's wife and Ovi's wife would kiss?

[Bob or Tom]

Of course. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.

[Josh Arnold]

And it was exciting.

[Bob or Tom]

We'll be covering that among many.

[Josh Arnold]

I was folding when. Exciting, yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, that's exciting.

[Josh Arnold]

I was like, oh, man, they're on a power play. I better just stop folding and watch this. And I just stood there and couldn't believe it. That was one of those records that we were like, oh, yeah. Nobody will ever break that. No one will ever get to it.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And he did it on the. In the exact same amount of games. Right. If I heard correctly, this.

[Josh Arnold]

Pretty much. Now, that's. That's kind of the fun thing, too, is to get real nerdy about it. OVI has more. Yeah, he has, like, nine more empty netters than.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, I see.

[Josh Arnold]

Gretzky did some so. Well, Gretzky actually scored more.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, God. All right, look, I think. I think the fact that we're giving it any airtime at all, they're lucky, you know?

[Al Jackson]

You don't want to talk about Fluffer letter.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Do they test for steroids in hockey?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, I think so.

[Jeff Oskay]

I would assume they test in every sport, right?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I was probably.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I.

[Al Jackson]

Tell me.

[Derek Stroop]

I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't. I can't recall any.

[Bob or Tom]

Which sport quit doing marijuana testing?

[Josh Arnold]

They were tired of doing a thousand a day.

[Bob or Tom]

Again, as you know, I never went to medical school, so. Any advice or anything? Would marijuana make you better at any sport ever? Wouldn't it.

[Josh Arnold]

I'd be shocked.

[Bob or Tom]

Wouldn't it pretty much slow you down? I don't know.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I would think.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you would think it would impair you more then. I don't know, during an athletic situation.

[Jeff Oskay]

Where they shove the thing down the ice, curling the brooms.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, Curly.

[Jeff Oskay]

I think I would be better at that high.

[Al Jackson]

I think everybody would be.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. We'll probably be getting some letters from. My mother did that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

You know, she was a curler.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Bob or Tom]

Yes. No, no, no.

[Al Jackson]

That's my question.

[Bob or Tom]

You know something? I. No is the answer to that. Yeah. No, seriously. My mother was a curler.

[Jeff Oskay]

Was she a broomer or a pusher?

[Bob or Tom]

I believe the broomer, but it was. She loved it. It Was something she did when she got into her 50s. And it was a fun thing like a bridge club. You'd go down and you knew all the same ladies.

[Jeff Oskay]

But she was like, oh, now I get to feel what the maid does.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, that would be interesting except that's not my. My mother was.

[Al Jackson]

Look on the other side this.

[Jeff Oskay]

Dishwashing liquid. What's that stuff called? Hydrogen peroxide. Cold water. There's a whole. There's a whole bunch of stuff. In the end I tried a whole bunch of different things in a bunch of industrial cleaners. Nothing worked. That worked. So check your. Check local listings for what works for your dog. I don't know.

A lot of themes keep arriving in the. In the letterbox. This involves a news story from last week. And I didn't warn you, Christy, maybe you remember involved a lemonade stand.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

And some doofus Jack. Jag off. Is that okay? Apparently assaulted some young lady at her lemonade stand because he couldn't get a free refill. Assaulted as a strong.

[Josh Arnold]

He grabbed her by the arm.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was in Nevada. Oh, here it is. I have the story right here, actually. I believe he showed a five year old man. It's an assault.

[Josh Arnold]

He shook her a little bit.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was in Florida. The adult male allegedly committed battery after being denied a free refill. Refill?

[Al Jackson]

Well, that's a whole different story.

[Bob or Tom]

Bet you ever get a refill or did you wake up?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Josh is right. The suspect allegedly grabbed the female victim by the wrist. Aggressively. Well, standing in a fighting stance and threatened to beat her up.

[Josh Arnold]

Battery.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes, it is. This is some little girl. This.

[Josh Arnold]

She wasn't battered at all. She was grabbed. It's grabbery.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, well, where this guy's going, he's going to get three square meals and a rape kit.

[Josh Arnold]

By the way, I'm not.

[Al Jackson]

You think that would send a person away?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, if I were the judge. Oh, this guy'd be getting sodomized against his will for months to come.

[Josh Arnold]

I need to know if he was promised a refill. Is he in the right?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, I don't think he probably was.

[Bob or Tom]

Why don't you get with the rest of your socialists and go camping? Socialists?

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah, you usually don't get a free refill on lemonade.

[Christy Lee]

Right? It's just not.

[Josh Arnold]

That's why I'm thinking maybe they'd. All right, I can no longer defend this guy.

[Bob or Tom]

But this letter. This letter is great. And I have recently, over the past summer, there was a lemonade stand set up. And I remember trying to convince the girls they did it at a. I live in a dead end street, but on the corner it's very busy. If you go down 150 yards, they set it up there. Well, no one can stop without causing major problems.

[Josh Arnold]

That is the dance, isn't it? You want the heavy traffic, but you need them to be able to stop.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, yeah, so. And then he said what we should have done was hired a cop, have him stop all traffic. And if you want to get through, you got to buy lemonade.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I'm surprised you didn't.

[Bob or Tom]

This comes to us from Michael. Excuse me, this comes to us from Jim in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Thank you, Jim. I heard your discussion about the kids lemonade stand. My six year old son set up a stand. I got back from work one day, pulled up next to the stand in front of our house. He had a full menu of beverages for sale that he apparently had pulled out of the garage refrigerator. By the way, that menu apparently included Coke, Ginger, Alex lemonade, and of course, Miller Light. Apparently that was the big seller. Well, thank you very much, Jim.

[Josh Arnold]

That's so funny.

[Al Jackson]

Hilarious.

[Jeff Oskay]

In my old neighborhood, which, you know, wasn't the best neighborhood, the kids would set up a Mike's Hard lemonade stand and.

[Bob or Tom]

Very popular, I'll bet. Well, thank you very much.

[Al Jackson]

You can resort that extra nickel.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, you can reach us once again, Bob and Tom.

[Jeff Oskay]

So last year Mike hit. Well, a couple of years ago, my kids, they made bookmarks, like colored bookmarks. And they're like, oh, we're going to set up and sell them at the end of the driveway. And they're out there in their snow parkas and it's just adorable. And they come in after like an hour and a half and they go, oh, we sold two to this lady. She's going to Come back and bring us the money. And she never came back. And the picture still pops up in my Facebook memories. And I want to find this lady so bad. She owes my kids a dollar, and.

[Josh Arnold]

I want that dollar. By the way, I've been to your neighborhood where they known as what marks. Very funny.

[Bob or Tom]

Not the most literate crowd, you see. Oh, dear.

[Jeff Oskay]

Lemonade stand.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, we also had a story last week. Sorry, Christy, I should have warned you about a. About picking up after your dog.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm kind of a fanatic about this. I have bags.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

And in fact, I say, leave it.

[Josh Arnold]

The rain will take care of it.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I have that.

[Bob or Tom]

And it was. The headline, had the word poop chucker.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. Authorities in Colorado labeled the man the mysterious poop chucker. He appears to be targeting a woman for not picking up after her dog in Silverthorne, Colorado. He apparently is throwing bags of dog poop into her yard and onto her driveway.

[Josh Arnold]

So this guy's doing something way worse than what she was doing?

[Bob or Tom]

No, she's cleaning up her. He's cleaning up after her dog, but.

[Josh Arnold]

Then throwing it in her house. She's not. She's not leaving poop in anybody's porch.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, no. So he's trying to teach her a lesson.

[Josh Arnold]

This isn't an eye for an eye.

[Bob or Tom]

No, it's ding dong, deuce, ding dong. Here we go. This is from Dan. He goes, I was working in my garage. I noticed a guy from down the street stopped on the sidewalk with his dog. His dog took a dump on my front lawn. When the dog finished, the guy started walking away. I walked down and said, hey, I've got a bag for you. He goes, oh, that's okay. I'm fine. And continued to walk. So I grabbed my shovel, picked up the poop, and followed him down the sidewalk to his house. He kept looking back at me over his shoulder. When he walked up to his driveway, he said, what are you doing? I said, I'm returning your dog poop. And I winged it into his front yard.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

He went, and I'll take the liberties with this. He went bat crap crazy. I just turned and walked back to my garage. Hey, clean up after your dog, all right? Come on.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Bob or Tom]

Any article of clothing I have that I wear outside has those dog poop bags in it.

[Jeff Oskay]

I have a bag dispenser that's just hooked onto my leash.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, I have one.

[Jeff Oskay]

So you always have it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's real easy.

[Bob or Tom]

No, I don't like them.

[Jeff Oskay]

Although I have made the mistake. You don't Know how many bags are left?

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

And I had one bag and then it was a three pooper. So I had to tie it off and then add and tie it off again. So it was like a little.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Have you ever gone home, got bags and gone back? I've done that.

[Bob or Tom]

I do that. Yeah. I will not leave. But I ever. The thing where you take the bag and you go to open it up and your hand goes all the way through it.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I double bag, I'm not gonna lie.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. All right. Well, I found a new bag. I can't even say the name of it on the air and it has the S word in it, but it's. Yeah, this company, it's. They're thinner, they're easier to carry. Way too thinner.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I would think you'd want them thicker so you don't go through them.

[Bob or Tom]

Like, you don't. They're. They're very good.

[Al Jackson]

I have a hard time opening them.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I do, too. They're not easy.

[Bob or Tom]

There's a trick to that.

[Josh Arnold]

Why don't you just use like a Kleenex?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Gotta lick them.

[Al Jackson]

I kicked one yesterday.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, I will say this.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Are we talking about Duff?

[Bob or Tom]

Hey, look, we're just answering the mail, lady. If you don't like it, shut up. This is a real thing. The other day, over the weekend, as a matter of fact, I was out with a little guy and his poops aren't that big anyway, but he goes and I bag it. And then it was freezing cold and I didn't have gloves, so I just put my hand in my pocket with the dog poop bag. But it's sealed, obviously.

[Josh Arnold]

And so kind of a hand warmer.

[Bob or Tom]

If it's fresh, I will admit that. But then yesterday morning when I went to take the dog out, I reached. Yep, he's been in there all night.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Al Jackson]

Did you wear that jacket into work?

[Bob or Tom]

No, it's in the long.

[Josh Arnold]

It had been in there all night.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, well, thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Sounds like kinetic sand.

[Bob or Tom]

Thanks for the nice letter, Bill. We appreciate that. If you're just. If you're just joining us. Excuse me. If you're just joining us here in the Bob and Tom show, we are coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And that's over there, that's the Orange Insoles Sports desk featuring Jeff Oskay today.

[Jeff Oskay]

That's right.

[Bob or Tom]

And Christy Lee, of course, is at the Silac Insurance news desk. Yes, Josh, what's on your mind, sir?

[Josh Arnold]

We were talking. We've been talking a little bit about dog Poop and cleaning up after your.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. My neighbor kid. He was. I watched him. I was sitting on my porch, and he let the dog crap in my yard. And then he just started to walk off. I go, hey, what's this about? And he goes, I don't have any bags. I'll be back. I promise. And he. I did. I sat there. And he later came back, like 20 minutes later. He was just all grouchy about it.

[Al Jackson]

We did that over the weekend, too. We ran out of bags and on the way back, back because he had eaten something, you know, unique and different for his system. And we had. We did go back and.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, of course.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Absolutely. Gone back.

[Bob or Tom]

You ever do the thing where your dog is eating sidewalk chalk and they. They have that rainbow turd?

[Josh Arnold]

It's lovely, isn't it?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, actually, it's easier to find. Got that going. Yeah. I'm surprised someone doesn't come out with a product like that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It makes the.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, you put it.

[Christy Lee]

You put.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, you put it in your dog's feet. And the. You're like, it's. It's neon turd.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Hi, Mom.

[Bob or Tom]

I was out in the yard. Lucky you had neon turd. I didn't step with my baseball bat or something.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Jeff Oskay]

There's nothing. Like the second you step in dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

Like there's no other thing. You step in that. The second you hit it, you're like, no, I just stepped in dog crab.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, right, right.

[Jeff Oskay]

Like the slickness, like, in the grass. You're playing and you're running with your friends. The second you hit it, you're like, I just stepped out. You don't have to see it or smell it. Just the feel on the shoes.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Hardest thing to get out of tennis shoes. On the bottom, too.

[Bob or Tom]

And you can't look cool.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Bob or Tom]

George Clooney steps in dog crap. He looks like a jerk.

[Al Jackson]

You know, I stepped in some. This is the truth with my. My boots. And I wanted it to clean, and I cleaned them in the kitchen sink.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Why did I get yelled at?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Gotta put some bleach down that sink.

[Al Jackson]

No, that's what she did.

[Bob or Tom]

That's disgusting.

[Josh Arnold]

But. But where else do you.

[Bob or Tom]

You know what I mean?

[Jeff Oskay]

Like the bathtub.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Al Jackson]

I told it. We should have gone somewhere else.

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, no, no.

[Al Jackson]

Bathtub, sink, bathroom sink.

[Bob or Tom]

Go in the garage, take a bucket, let them sit in there for a while.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Utility sink.

[Bob or Tom]

Soften it up.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, you live in an apartment.

[Al Jackson]

I don't. Yeah, but I was at her house.

[Jeff Oskay]

My oh, wait, you put them in her sink.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, and you're still.

[Josh Arnold]

See, this is even better.

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Does she know this?

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

There's a ton of feces in your kitchen sink already.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That's true. He's right.

[Bob or Tom]

Last time I was there, I took a big.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that's where the garbage is.

[Al Jackson]

I'm asleep.

[J]

Pooper.

[Josh Arnold]

Wake up.

[Bob or Tom]

Get out of the sleep.

[Al Jackson]

What are you doing?

[Bob or Tom]

I've done a lot of dumb things in my life. I've never crapped in a sink. I don't know if anybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, same.

[Al Jackson]

Anybody I've peed in.

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, I peed in many. Wow. That would be. You got to climb up there. Yeah. They say that there's more. What is it called, E. Coli in your sink, in your kitchen sink than in your toilet.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yep. So they say.

[Bob or Tom]

A little bit. A little bit of bleach.

[Josh Arnold]

Clean. Both I say.

[Al Jackson]

And why is that?

[Bob or Tom]

You think food stuff rotting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now this is a nice letter. We are, we have been, I should say, talking about the new bats, the so called torpedo bats.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, that was all over the news this weekend. Did you see that?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, they're. They've been around for a little longer than people think. But only a handful of people were using them and obviously the whole. When the Yankees started things off with nine home runs, whatever it was that one game. This is a letter from the folks at the Louisville Slugger Museum. Oh, our friends, when they get an extra one, they're going to send it our way.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, cool.

[Bob or Tom]

So we can look forward to that. It may be a while though. They're in demand from all of the various bat manufacturers. The torpedo bat, it's one of those things you think, gee, why didn't they think of this before? But it was developed by some kind of scientist and it's a little bit thicker where one would make contact with the ball ideally. So it looks like a very elongated bowling pin, if that makes any sense. So we hope. We're hoping to have one here in the studio coming up real soon. Coming up in sports, we will do a little bit of Alex Ovechkin updates for you. A lot of basketball coming up, of course, the shoe in of the week and more. Also, I want to remind you that we have a special thing going on with our friends at Orange Insouls and that is we have this 4K TV. Orange Insouls is going to give it away.

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. Christy, Pat, Jeff, Oscar in this morning. I'm Joe. Josh. Tom. Already having a heck of a Monday.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm psyched.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Getting all organized over here.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

We have a song out of you bat today.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, we have a song for Pat. I want to do a little intro here. This is based on what we were just talking about. We got a nice letter about. About a guy that followed his neighbor home whose dog had just pooped in his yard. He took a shovel and heaved the poop back in his neighbor's yard.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

This is a story from Colorado called the poop trucker guy has been heaving bags of dog poop at this lady's house because her dog keeps pooping in his lawn. So he's getting back at her by heaving the. Heaving the aforementioned dog poop in bags on her lawn, playing a game I like to call ding dong deuce. I don't know if this guy's gonna get arrested or not. I'm on his side. Do you ever have those dog Miranda rights?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, how do those go?

[Bob or Tom]

If you don't pick up your dog's poop, it can and will be held against you. Yeah, okay. So should this. This lady's getting her. I would call it pro quo. Oh, that's Latin for it's your dog. Keep the poop off my lawn.

[Al Jackson]

Okay, the Landy Williams tribute.

[Bob or Tom]

Enjoy this one.

[Al Jackson]

Shocker. Throws bags into her yard. If they poop up, it's not hard to do. Your dog's a poop. Take her. That turd just bakes there. Whenever you take your dog out, lady, make sure you have a bag. The neighborhood's covered in your doggie doo. That's why I throw it back to you. Dooby doggy doo. We all want to see a clean place to say to play. Not say to play. I screw up each and every day. Don't make me call Hoa. The poop chucker is me. Thank you very much, everybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That piano sounds good today.

[Al Jackson]

Does.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Thank you very much. Thank you. Now we return to the mailbag. Let's see now, what is our topic here? Oh, this is good. I know Josh hates this topic.

[Josh Arnold]

What's that?

[Bob or Tom]

Old sayings from parents and Grand.

[Josh Arnold]

There was a time I love this topic.

[Al Jackson]

Three weeks ago.

[Bob or Tom]

I love these. They, they're especially. I've never heard any of these. When my grandpa would pull out of the driveway, J from Midland, Michigan writes, he'd say we're off like a dirty shirt. That's kind of folksy. Or if we were off to a slow start, he'd go, we're off like a herd of turtles.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. Now this one I, I really enjoy. If someone had passed gas, my grandfather would say, well, your voice has changed but your breath smells the same.

[Josh Arnold]

Very good.

[Al Jackson]

I've never heard that one.

[Bob or Tom]

Mark that one down. That is certainly, certainly a good one. Well, thank you. Keep sending your letters. By the way. We'd love to hear from you. We are once again at Bob and [e-mail] Spell it out. B O B A N D T O N. Here's one from Paul, an old saying. His dad would always say, boy, this is rough. If he'd get into heavy traffic were jammed up like a glory hole on fleet week.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh gee, I bet it does get busy.

[Bob or Tom]

I mean that is, that is just great.

[Josh Arnold]

Jammed up though suggests they couldn't wait for one at a time. They Laverne and Shirley themselves into the pat.

[Bob or Tom]

Fleet week is when the Navy pulls into New York and, and there are sailors everywhere. You know, it's busy night for the hookers and apparently the glory holes. Well, are we going to dip our toes into the world of sports? Who's going to handle that?

[Jeff Oskay]

Mr. Sure we can. Alex Ovechkin has broken Wayne Gretzky's NHL career goals record. He scored 895th goal in the Washington Capitals game against the New York islanders on Sunday. Mr. Gretzky's whole total of 894 goals has stood for 31 years. He said of the achievement. They say records are made to be broken, but I'm not sure who's going to get more goals than that. According to CNN, Mr. Ovechkin is the 10th player in the league's 107 year history to hold the all time goals leader title. He's the fourth to claim the distinction in the last 72 years following Gretzky, Gordon Howe and Maurice Richard. Or is that Gordon Howie?

[Bob or Tom]

It's Gordy Howie Gordie Howe and Maurice Richard.

[Jeff Oskay]

No, Richard.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, he's French.

[Jeff Oskay]

I didn't see the accent.

[Bob or Tom]

Does our printer have an accent aid you?

[Jeff Oskay]

I guess not.

[Josh Arnold]

And when Gretzky broke how. And his family were there and all this stuff. So it's really nice tradition.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. I think the only record like this is ever going to stand is Wilt Chamberlain's.

[Josh Arnold]

I think up there.

[Bob or Tom]

Isn't it?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What are you talking about? For women.

[Al Jackson]

100 points.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, not the points. Who cares about.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, the whip.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, we figured out 20,000.

[Bob or Tom]

He said we did some. The math on it was more than one a day. When we interviewed him, I asked him if he did he ever do any of them Twice and doesn't count. He didn't think that was funny. Barely this. Anybody else? So. So this record will stand for a long time unless David Rush get some skates out and tries to.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, I don't think David Rush is going to beat this one.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay.

[Jeff Oskay]

Golfer Ryan McCormick is taping his mouth shut. He's revealed his unorthodox approach to anger management. The video of Mr. McCormick shows him playing with clear tape over his mouth and explaining the peculiar move. He said, I've been having not so fun times this year on the golf course. Pretty angry and mad. So I figured I'd shut myself up. So I put tape over my mouth. Mr. McCormick said he wants to ensure he does not create a negative experience for his plane partners and apparently has no self control.

[Bob or Tom]

It's just Scotch tape.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, there you go. There's a picture of it right there. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

How about you just try to control yourself?

[Al Jackson]

He has to be joking, right?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That's crazy.

[Bob or Tom]

I don't think so. No.

[Josh Arnold]

It looks pretty serious.

[Jeff Oskay]

Is it making them play better?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Who knows?

[Bob or Tom]

This weekend? It did not. Oh. But I mean I see PGA or live. I. I think pg. I don't know. I'm not sure which tournament. It was something like they were both going on corn something were you watching over the weekend?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Do you like golf?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I just turned it on a little bit about each one of them.

[Jeff Oskay]

You didn't see the tape on the mouth though?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Al Jackson]

There wasn't a Hallmark movie that you wanted to watch?

[Josh Arnold]

I did end up watching an Aurora Teagarden mystery. Yes.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

While I finished folding laundry.

[Bob or Tom]

How much laundry did you have?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I don't joke.

[Bob or Tom]

Ah, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Boil those.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Say goodbye to all my. All those souls that might have been I think my watchers. If only. If only we put you in an egg.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Do you use a duvet cover with a sheet, a top sheet, or do you just use the duvet cover as your top sheet?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love a top sheet.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

So a lot of people use the duvet cover. Just.

[Josh Arnold]

You're absolutely right. I've been in relationships. Well, I've been in relationships where they. The girl hated the top sheet.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Al Jackson]

Women love the top sheet.

[Josh Arnold]

Not all, dude. Not all.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

We don't have the top sheet.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

You don't have a top sheet?

I love a top sheet.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes I. In the summer, I, I, I'll Blanket. Go away.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, the window open.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What about you, Tommy? You got a top sheet?

[Bob or Tom]

No, I'm just envisioning the naked Josh like a.

[Josh Arnold]

Under a top shelf.

[Bob or Tom]

Like a sculpture. Supine. The. It was the Korn Fairy tour. K, O, R, N. Korn ferry tour. It was a p. Event.

[Josh Arnold]

Have some corn.

[Bob or Tom]

In which. In which Mr. McCormick taped his mouth shut. I think Tiger woods tried that with a zipper for a couple, couple of weekends. Just one.

[Josh Arnold]

One little strip of Scotch tape.

[Bob or Tom]

It didn't work. You've got. It's really odd. Yeah. You have to wonder if he was kind of kidding. I don't know how long he left the tape on there. Very, very.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Coming up, we have fascinating things in the world of news, including no Easter eggs this year.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, what?

[Bob or Tom]

For some.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That's expensive. The egg.

[Bob or Tom]

We have a sad, sad death in the world of television.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, we do.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Bob or Tom]

And Pat, do you have any good songs about dachshunds?

[Al Jackson]

Dachshunds? No, I have three dog songs, though.

[Bob or Tom]

It's gotta be a dachshund.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, just do a long dog song.

[Bob or Tom]

There you go. We have the return of Speedy Gonzalez. I'd like to apologize, but he's back in the news and more. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

The antidote is to appear on the Rich Eisen Show.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

[Bob or Tom]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

In music alley.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Jeff oskay@the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. And we've got a shoo in of the week coming up from me. That's right. Regarding men's college basketball, I am Josh Arnold at the I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. We're all happily seated in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Tom, my goodness, have you seen who's joined us?

[Bob or Tom]

And I have an executive decision.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Okay.

[Bob or Tom]

Our guest is going to be making the prediction for the shoeing of the week because Josh hasn't watched a college basketball game ever in his life.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. I honestly could not tell you who's playing tonight.

[Al Jackson]

I'm in the same boat. I have no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

I know Houston is because Christy mentioned Houston winning.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes. It was awesome.

[Bob or Tom]

We're going to have Al Jackson, a man who was familiar with the Sporting life is going to do that. Al Jackson, comedian.

[Josh Arnold]

You want to do that now?

[Bob or Tom]

In a minute.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. Well, you just have to let me know.

[Bob or Tom]

Like I said again, executive decision.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, sure.

[Bob or Tom]

The I was trying to think.

[Josh Arnold]

But an executive decided this should happen, too. That's all I'm saying. Let me know.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm above that. The I was trying to think of a song, Pat, for Mr. Jackson. And isn't this something? I'm going down on Jackson.

[Al Jackson]

Down on Jackson.

[Bob or Tom]

Excuse me. Oh, I'm going down to Jackson.

[Derek Stroop]

I was in jail two times and.

[Josh Arnold]

Now songs are out Gonna mess around.

[Al Jackson]

Al and I got married in A fever. That's the song.

[Bob or Tom]

That's the song.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm going.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm going to Jackson.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Jackson City, here I come.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right?

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. Okay. That doesn't really fit, does it?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Do you notice Al's wearing a bolo tie? Do you own a bolo tie but with a turtleneck? Yes.

[Jeff Oskay]

I don't know how I feel about this, Al. I gotta be honest.

[Derek Stroop]

It's an interesting look. It's the kind of look you put on when there's a fire in the hotel and you just to throw something on. But I. I like the bolo tie and I almost. I wear it with almost everything. It looks more normal when I have my jacket on. But when I don't, I just look like a strange stepfather. But I've accepted that. I like it and we're rolling with it.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I think. I mean, you can pull off anything.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, well, thank you.

[Bob or Tom]

It's. But it's a cultural culture. It's a cultural thing.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It's a cultural thing to wear a bolo tie.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It's cowboy Texas.

[Derek Stroop]

I see aces in here. So I guess you guys don't want two of us in the same room. One is a guest, two is a riot.

[Al Jackson]

You're both a riot. Don't say that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Very nice, Pat.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, now, Al's going to be doing a bunch of gigs with Willie and Frank Caliendo. We'll cover that coming up. But do you want to do your shoe in pick right now? We can. Are you ready to make the pick, Al? Do you want to have some time to think about it?

[Derek Stroop]

This is. I've been thinking about this today's.

[Bob or Tom]

Do we have the point spread available?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I'll look it up.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, let's find the spread.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, we'll do that. But in the meantime, what were you going to say over there?

[Josh Arnold]

Today's shoe in basketball picks presented by orangeandsouls.com Feel better. Do more with orange insoles in your shoes. Free shipping in the [e-mail] so it's Houston and who?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Florida.

[Bob or Tom]

Florida.

[Derek Stroop]

My. My girlfriend's team.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Derek Stroop]

Like you. My. My girlfriend. It works in professional sports. She is the biggest sports fan I've ever met ever. Like both genders and so I've been riding with her all year. Florida looks really good. I don't know what the spread is. Kristi Lee is pulling that up.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Boy, it's hard to figure this out. It looks like minus Florida, minus 1.

[Josh Arnold]

We can guy read it.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, I. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

I love man figure that out.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I watched.

[Josh Arnold]

I Know Christy knows way more about this spell basketball.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

11 points and I picked Florida to win from the day one.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes, I did. Oh, nice.

[Derek Stroop]

I'm, I'm riding with you. I think Florida's going to cover. Florida just keeps bringing. They have seven footers coming off the bench and it's. They're loaded this year. Year. Sometimes it's just your year. I'd love to see Calvin Sampson, the coach from Houston, get one, but I don't think it's this year. I think this year it's the coach things. The coach from Florida. I think it's going to be the Gators, which hurts me as a Buckeyes fan. But the Gators are going to take it tonight.

[Bob or Tom]

They're favored by one and a half.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Also it should be a good game.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. One and a half point favorite over Houston. But Houston is coming off that huge win though. They might be real fired up.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah. I wonder if they're going to be emotionally spent though, because there's that thing where it's hard. I was, Florida was losing a couple games ago and my girlfriend was panicking. She was like, we're going to lose. And I'm like, you're not going to lose. Because Texas Tech was winning like 15 minutes left, but their team was yelling and pounding their chest. And I always tell people energy is finite and they're going to lose that. And towards the end of the game they started to droop, the shoulder started to droop and Florida came back. So I think that happened to Duke too. That happened to Duke. You can't expect men know you can't.

[Bob or Tom]

Expend it solid Florida pick on the shoe in from Al Jack.

[Derek Stroop]

Yes, sir.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. Put money on it if you lose. That's Al Jackson. You can find him on the Internet.

[Al Jackson]

Look for the bolo tie in the tree.

[Derek Stroop]

That's the thing is just like the worst thing is if somebody did find me and beat, beat me up, it wouldn't be the assault. It would be like what the officer had to write down. Blackmail down. Bolo tie, turtleneck, one shoe, dad jeans. Yeah, it's that that's the worst.

[Bob or Tom]

Now let's switch gears here. Have we completed our sports broadcast?

[Jeff Oskay]

I believe so.

[Bob or Tom]

We turn now to Christy Lee. She is at the Silac Insurance News.

[Derek Stroop]

That's on top of it.

[J]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Relationship experts say the so called micro cheating is a growing form of infidelity. Have you heard about this?

[Josh Arnold]

Is this when you sleep with a dwarf?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, the term micro.

[Bob or Tom]

Thanks for going with dwarf by the way.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Refers to anything short of a physical or emotional relationship that involves behavior you cannot talk about openly with a partner.

[Josh Arnold]

Anything.

[Derek Stroop]

Micro cheating is just like, yeah, if you go. If you go to work and you're just a little too friendly with Christy, it's not touching. It's not, let's meet up. You're not even overtly sexual, but it's a lot of smiling. It's a lot of I wish I could have hung.

[Josh Arnold]

So micro cheating is having a job.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, yeah. Interacting with the. It's. It's just like anything that you wouldn't tell it, like, why are you sending a smiley emoji to your. To your boss in accounting? It's just kind of like, yeah, there might be somebody you find attractive and a little flirty, but it's basically, do.

[Bob or Tom]

They give a definition?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And then they take it one step farther? With the digital age. Psychologist Abby Medcalf, it says the phenomenon not new. Like, I was just talking about. But now micro cheating tends to involve texting or private messages. Ms. Metcalf explained. It's cheating if your partner doesn't like it or doesn't know about it or wouldn't like it it if they knew about it.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Derek Stroop]

Are you guys phones up or phones down with your partner?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I'm, I'm phones down everywhere I go, but anytime I. I'm dating anybody in any relationship, it's. Anytime you want to look at my phone, look at it. I just.

[Derek Stroop]

But will you be. Will you be mad cuz somebody through your phone is so intrusive. It's like, it's so intrusive. I would, I would. Would really dislike that even though I'm not doing anything. I would. That would be almost a 10 on my anger. Like, I don't.

[Bob or Tom]

You're just upset that your girlfriend's gonna, you know, see all those women responding to those naked beach selfies of you with your bolo tie on.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, that could be my. I need to get ripped and just wear a bolo tie and just. I want to be. I want to take it back to the. Like, I want to be like Billy Ocean in the 80s. Suit jacket, no shirt, chest hair, bolo tie. What's up, Caribbean Queen?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Now if you're in the beach long enough, you get tan lines.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes.

[Derek Stroop]

I. I definitely get darker. I didn't even realize until I was in my.

[Bob or Tom]

Hang on a second. Christie's having a problem. What's on there?

[Derek Stroop]

These are.

[Bob or Tom]

I think it's a fair question.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Have you had a black friend ever and he's had.

[Bob or Tom]

Al is my black friend a decade and a half and I've never gone sunbathing with him.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm just asking, you know, you can.

[Al Jackson]

You don't even go in the sun yourself.

[Jeff Oskay]

You can Google those questions so you don't have to embarrass your black friends.

[Derek Stroop]

No, it's, it's, it's. I'm still learning about the sun myself. Tom. I didn't realize black people could get sunburned or. Yeah, like, I didn't know, get burned. I had no idea. I thought that's, that was. This is our secret.

[Bob or Tom]

I think in the age, in the politically correct age we live in, I'm surprised we don't have that. That, that old. Remember the billboard with a little girl getting the, getting her ass cheeks exposed when the dog grabs her? Yeah. The copper tone ads, they probably wouldn't do that now because, well, the fact that it's a little girl's ass.

[Derek Stroop]

I was gonna say. I always, when I was a little kid, I was like, I don't want. That's weird. I didn't have a word for it, but I was like, I don't want to see that. Yeah, it was very weird.

[Bob or Tom]

I found it very erotic as a child.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh my God.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom likes dollies.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Al Jackson]

That'S two in one break as a child.

[Josh Arnold]

Can you imagine the pervious six year old you ever.

[Derek Stroop]

That is, it is weird. I was having this thought the other day that weirdly all the people that were in the child sitcoms or like the Nickelodeon verse when you were 10 or 11, now all these people grow up and then they join only fans because everybody, all those Nickelodeon stars make a billion dollars on OnlyFans.

[Bob or Tom]

I was like, by the way, on that same note, we have a death from one of the, one of the original, original TV child actors.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. Jay north, who starred as the toe headed mischief maker Dennis the Menace.

[Jeff Oskay]

Wait, he died?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

Hold on. I need to cancel my only fans. I'm not paying for another month of him.

[Bob or Tom]

Boy, he has dan lines, huh?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He was 73. North died Sunday at his home in Lake Butler, Florida, after battling colon cancer. According to one of his family members, he said he had a heart as big as a mountain, loved his friends deeply and called frequently and ended every conversation with I love you with all my heart.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's get Mr. Wilson's take on this. Yeah, I tried calling him, but the music was too high. I couldn't hear what he was saying.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

North was just 6 when he was cast as Dennis the Menace in the CBS sitcom adaptation.

[Josh Arnold]

And we watched that all the time.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Popular comic strip. Who didn't?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean it was on Nickelodeon forever.

[Bob or Tom]

But I don't think he did not get a lot of gigs. He.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

After that, you mean?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, yeah, he was one of those guys would probably show up on like the Love Boat and oh, there's Dennis the Menace.

[Josh Arnold]

That's probably why he didn't get a lot of gigs.

[Derek Stroop]

And Tom, save it for the obituary you've been asked to write and give. It's like, look, he didn't get booked a lot towards the end.

[Bob or Tom]

Right? Right.

[Derek Stroop]

Let's be honest, he didn't wonder.

[Bob or Tom]

This is very personal to me. But the first time I ever heard about death was when the actor who played Mr. Wilson died and they replaced him. Oh, oh. And then my Joseph Kearns, I can remember the. I think he was the second den. Mr. Wilson. I'm not. All I know was the guy that played Mr. Wilson died. My mother had to explain it to me. What do you mean he's not coming back next?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, really?

[Bob or Tom]

I was just a little kid.

[Al Jackson]

Then they switched Darren's, but there was no death, so that had to be confusing for you. Inner struggles, contracts.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, that's what it always is.

[Al Jackson]

Partying.

[Derek Stroop]

Does anybody remember when they switched out Aunt Vivs on the Fresh Prince?

[Al Jackson]

Yes, yes.

[Derek Stroop]

The first season there was a darker skinned Aunt Viv.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Derek Stroop]

And then the second season she just wasn't there. And all these shows either address it tongue in cheek or they just don't address it at all.

[Bob or Tom]

Or the worst one was Kevin Can Wait, which was. I really, I really like Kevin James, very funny guy. Do you remember what they did after one season?

[Al Jackson]

They switched wives.

[Bob or Tom]

They killed off the wife to bring back the woman that had been in his show.

[Derek Stroop]

You're talking about King of Queens.

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, there was Kevin.

[Al Jackson]

He had a follow up to that. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, and they brought back. What is it? Leah, Remy Remini, whatever her name is. Yeah, they brought her back. She's great. She's great. But remedy, they dumped the, the new one. And I guess, I guess in one episode they said something like, yeah, Bob, too bad about the accident. What?

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, they did that too. Remember? Martin and I forgot Atisha Campbell, obviously they were.

[Al Jackson]

They had some, they had a problem.

[Derek Stroop]

They had some problem on set. And then so the next season they kept having the situations where they would miss each other. Like she got on a cruise and he missed it. So they, they had that split screen.

[Josh Arnold]

They couldn't even work together.

[Derek Stroop]

No, they were not on the Same show on Martin. And so they, they had the split screen. Like when two people on the phone like, oh, I missed the cruise, you know, so like they didn't maintain the 500ft.

[Josh Arnold]

Adjust whatever. You have to adjust with your attitude to be near Tisha Campbell. Absolutely, I will. All my pride. Yes, gone.

[Jeff Oskay]

I have a feeling she was the one with the issue.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know. Martin was a diva for sure.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

What's your take on that? Was that Martin?

[Derek Stroop]

I. Look, Martin is a comedy legend. We've, we interviewed Tisha Campbell a couple times. I'm very biased because I've had a crush on her for 30 years.

[Jeff Oskay]

Is she still hot?

[Derek Stroop]

She's still hot.

[Bob or Tom]

She was in here.

[Derek Stroop]

Her energy is still like fun and like, she'd be like, what are we doing after this guy?

[Al Jackson]

She was great.

[Derek Stroop]

She is great. I find it very hard to believe that somebody, that she was causing issues on that show.

[Bob or Tom]

Wasn't she in the kid and play movie?

[Christy Lee]

Movie.

[Derek Stroop]

That's where, that's where, that's where Al became a man.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, Little Shop of Horrors is where I first saw it. Who is that?

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, I like that.

[Josh Arnold]

John Griswold.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Why don't you wear a captain's hat?

[Josh Arnold]

I think you did one day.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. That's what Hugh Hefner wore toward the end.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, that's true.

[Bob or Tom]

Really sad. Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

It's really more of a symbol to the world that this is on its way down.

[Bob or Tom]

Great live, great live comedy. Now let's get back to the action. We have Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. What's happening?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Cash strapped consumers are turning to egg alternatives for decorations this easter.

[Bob or Tom]

I call B.S.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Sorry, this is from Good Morning America.

[Bob or Tom]

I still call BS.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Paz, the company that makes the original Easter egg dye that we've all used over the years, shared some creative ideas for those of you looking for more affordable decorations this year.

[Bob or Tom]

All right.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Instead of using eggs, you could use marshmallows.

[Josh Arnold]

Interesting.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Or boiled Potatoes.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, that. Every kid wants that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

They both can be dyed.

[Jeff Oskay]

Drunk Irish guy hiding potatoes in your backyard instead of a bunny.

[Bob or Tom]

Are you supposed. You're supposed to cook the potatoes?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Easter McBunny.

[Bob or Tom]

This is the worst idea ever.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

They can both be dyed or painted while dying.

[Derek Stroop]

Everything can be dyed or painted.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Pasta can be used to make Easter jewelry or a garland, according to Oz.

[Bob or Tom]

I'd like to make a. Is that a lanyard? No, it's a noose.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Coffee.

[Bob or Tom]

Taking myself out rather than dying potatoes, giving them to my kids.

[Josh Arnold]

These are good alternatives, especially for, like, teachers who don't want to go buy, you know, 36 eggs.

[Bob or Tom]

They can every year get potatoes. I die. Easter eggs. And every year I come in here on Monday with dyed fingertips. No matter. Even if you were, every time, you're.

[Derek Stroop]

Not supposed to touch them.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, but, yeah, they have that. They have that little wire thing. Where do they make those? Well, never mind, don't ask. What's the tariff on a little wire ring? Those, I'm sure, are making. What a gig that would be. I'm at the factory. What do you guys make? We make those wire things that American kids pick up eggs in when they dye them.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, but you got to change the story halfway through when the guys at the bar lose interest. You're like, you know, for east, for fighter jets.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Coffee filters can also be dyed to make butterflies or flowers. Oh, while air dried clay can be shaped into an egg and painted.

[Jeff Oskay]

Okay, depression already started. We aren't there yet.

[Bob or Tom]

This is one of those things they ask some intern. Hey, we got Easter coming up. Think of anything. Eggs aren't that expensive. You can.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we're blessed for it in that it doesn't affect us as much as others.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, we're gonna go hunt for our Easter potatoes, boys and girls. No, no, thanks, Mom. I'll play video games.

[Jeff Oskay]

We do the plastic eggs and then put, like, money inside or, like, candy or whatever.

[Bob or Tom]

This year, you know what they're putting inside plastic eggs?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What?

[Bob or Tom]

Real eggs?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, we.

[Jeff Oskay]

We. We're rich.

[Bob or Tom]

Hey. Hey, Tommy, you get an omelette this morning if you find the eggs? I. I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

It's nice to have alternatives.

[Bob or Tom]

Good. It's fake. I don't believe it for a minute.

[Derek Stroop]

Okay, I think I'm on Tom's side on that one. I think early stories start to come out about what people are doing. I was like, I don't know. They're using powdered eggs now. I don't believe this. I. I Think no one's using potatoes. It's not happening.

[Bob or Tom]

Didn't they. Didn't scientists find that eating eggs is not bad for your cholesterol?

[Al Jackson]

No, if it's a good egg. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

And that whole don't eat the yolk thing is bs.

[Josh Arnold]

You can thank the sugar companies for that propaganda.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yes.

[Al Jackson]

It's actually very good for you.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Speaking of eggs, we think of breakfast, we think of coffee. New research suggests drinking coffee every day could add extra years of healthy aging to your life.

[Bob or Tom]

Editor's note. I, I, yeah, saw that. Immediately printed it because I'm sure if you. If you Google this coffee bed for you, you can find.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Sure.

[Bob or Tom]

Equally, equally esteemed scientists.

[Jeff Oskay]

But how does the coffee know what years it's applying? Like the best years of your life. Oh, so it gives me two more years of my 40s instead of two more years of my 90s. Like, I don't want more years at the end. I want them in the middle.

[Bob or Tom]

But that's why I want more years at the end. That's why you drink Red Bull.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob or Tom]

It takes away your fear. Apparently, you jump off buildings.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

The Reviews looked at 50 existing studies and found that regular, moderate coffee consumption adds an average of 1.8 years of healthy living to a person's life.

[Bob or Tom]

You know, I think it is. I think coffee drinkers tend to have jobs. They work, they're engaged, they're engaged in life.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Okay, I'll take.

[Josh Arnold]

But that could end heart disease. You never know what kind of stress.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, well, wait a minute.

[Bob or Tom]

Are you suggesting, Josh, that this job is giving you stress?

[Josh Arnold]

Not as much as other jobs have. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Who's the best boss you've ever had?

[Josh Arnold]

Best boss I've ever had?

[Al Jackson]

To answer quickly.

[Bob or Tom]

Josh, who's the best boss ever?

[Josh Arnold]

Tom, you know, it's you. It really is you.

[Bob or Tom]

How nice of you to volunteer that information. Now you're allowed to leave early to go to your doctor's appointment.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, he's still thinking about. About that, huh?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

In addition to coffee's role in reducing the risk of some major chronic diseases, researchers said coffee may also provide antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties, such as reducing neuroinflammation or regulating insulin sensitivity.

[Josh Arnold]

Does it say what moderate means?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I've heard two cups, I think.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Two to two or three a day is really where you want to be.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Drink a day.

[Josh Arnold]

I drink more typically, but after three, I try to go to decaf. So I don't know where decaf stands in the Health. Health.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, that's I, I still think that's not as much as what people were taking down in the 80s. My dad, my dad would do two pots.

[Al Jackson]

Yep, yep.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, if my dad was a lawyer it would just there the smell of just that office coffee pot always going, kind of burning at the bottom in the middle of the afternoon. And like my dad would just, he would just drink black coffee all no sugar. No.

[Bob or Tom]

That's how I wife by the way, reminds me that Java House is the official coffee and refreshments of the Bob and Tom show. We got something new going. I'll have to show you this, Al. This is going to revolutionize office coffee. See this guy? This is not a Keurig cup. This is just add hot water to this thing, you're ready to go for your coffee.

[Derek Stroop]

Stop it.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, it's a brand new idea. It's going to really revolutionize because you know what, you know what's in those Keurig machines?

[Derek Stroop]

No.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, all kinds of germs. Yikes. So we'll be telling you about Java House coming up. But it's our new official coffee. I'm very excited about it it now by the way, back to this coffee story. You can probably find, as I said earlier, a study that goes the other direction, of course. But do they take in certain lifestyle things like the fact that you're actually up and running and working? I know my doctor, I talk to him about it and he drinks, he drinks regular coffee first thing in the morning.

[Derek Stroop]

Do you think a normal person would live longer if they kind of had enough money where they could lounge around? He slept until 11 o'clock every day of your life? Or do you think it's better to get up, up at 6, get your heart going and start moving? Even if you have a job that might cause you more stress?

[Bob or Tom]

I think it's important to have something to do.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

They say people that retire sometimes. Well, I've played golf for the last year every day and I think I'm just gonna climb a tall building and jump.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think so. Now if you're playing golf every day you want to. And those are different. Those retired people are different.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah. It's different than retiring and watching tv.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Derek Stroop]

I don't think my dad didn't do, do want to do anything but the law. And when he couldn't do that anymore, he was kind of done right, you know. But I don't think people that love their job like Tom is not going to retire.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Derek Stroop]

He loves this. And so I don't, I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

And he doesn't like anything else.

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, that's. People don't get confused. By the way, if you're just joining us, this is the Bob and Tom show coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios, the home of the Orange Insole sports desk, the Silac Insurance news desk and the home of Java House Coffee. Throw out that Keurig. We're going to tell you all about Java House coming up. But right now we have comedian Al Jackson joining us. Al is on tour with Willie G. And Frank Caliendo. Tuesday, it's Louisville, the Louisville Comedy Club. Wednesday, Summit City in Fort Wayne, Thursday, Helium in Indy, and then it's going to be Liberty Township, Greater Cincinnati. Coming up Friday and Saturday. Once again, it's the great Frank Caliendo doing a rare club appearance, working on some great new stuff. Frank has some great new voices.

[Derek Stroop]

I love it.

[Bob or Tom]

Al Jackson and Willie G. Let's get back to Christy Lee. What have you got over there?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, go ahead and indulge your hangover. A nutritionist is saying pizza is healthier for you than many breakfast cereals. Registered dietitian Chelsea Amer says, quote, you may be surprised to find that an average slice of pizza and a bowl of cereal with whole milk contain nearly the same amount of calories. However, pizza packs a much larger protein punch which will keep you full and boost satiety throughout the morning.

[Derek Stroop]

Pizza for breakfast, guys?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm out.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Every now to get. Fine.

[Jeff Oskay]

Got breakfast pizza.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm out.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Never had a breakfast with egg on it.

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah, egg. And they'll use like a croissant for the base and they'll put like scrambled eggs.

[Bob or Tom]

That sounds good.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I've never had that.

[Jeff Oskay]

No, it's horrible. There's a reason you haven't had it.

[Bob or Tom]

I miserable. I know. My son Willie is working on a recipe to bring out his own. He's been talking to the General Mills people. Pizza O's the first pizza breakfast cereal. Yeah. The pepperoni experiment didn't work but I think the sausage may fly.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I are any of like cold pizza?

[Bob or Tom]

I hate cold pizza so I just can't. I don't get it.

[Derek Stroop]

I don't waste of cold pizza when you can just have an air fryer. Now air fryers have changed the warm up game especially for french fries. French fries in the air fryer are like the they were when they came.

[Bob or Tom]

You can read.

[Christy Lee]

They're great.

[Bob or Tom]

Better than microwaving.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah. They're crispy like the day you bought them.

[Bob or Tom]

I know yeah, you guys, I finally got an air fryer. I make salmon in it all the time.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's great.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Salmon is great.

[Derek Stroop]

Bake all the moisture out of it.

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, you wrap it in. You put oil on top of it and wrap it in foil. It's great.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, I've never done that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Wrap it in foil.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That seems crazy.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That does seem crazy.

[Bob or Tom]

It retains all the moisture. This is. I was talking to Lynn, Rosetta Casper, and she told me the other day.

[Al Jackson]

I love her.

[Jeff Oskay]

Tom discovered the slow cooker the other day.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, welcome to the world. Yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

He had not used a crock pot before. Now he's a fan.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I never have either.

[Derek Stroop]

They're great. And they serve two functions. One, well, I would even say three, because you're thinking about it all day. And then when you go home, your house smells like whatever that we are animals, bro. And just smelling that slow cooked food and then it falls off the bone. Come on. And it takes no time. I'm a fan.

[Bob or Tom]

I was, I was setting it up at 3:30 in the morning. Two dogs looking at me like, are we having roast beef tonight?

[Josh Arnold]

I have a slow cooker at home. I always have to yell at her, hurry up, I'm starving. Why does it take you so long?

[Bob or Tom]

I have a technical question. I am old enough to remember when McDonald's started the whole breakfast thing. Fast food breakfast. And everybody thought, this is never going to fly. And pretty soon everyone realized, well, this is great.

[Al Jackson]

Egg McMuffin.

[Bob or Tom]

And then everybody else is kind of. Is there a pizza place that's doing that yet? Are any of the major pizza chains.

[Derek Stroop]

Has anybody gotten close to McDonald's in the breakfast. No, fast food. It just. I. I've said for your money, are.

[Josh Arnold]

They Chick Fil A's got a good breakfast. Hardee's has a good. But you're right, McDonald's, I mean, it's.

[Derek Stroop]

I would say, Josh, that for your money, for A$150, whatever it costs now, a sausage, egg and cheese is the best meal you can get. It's delicious, it's quick, it always tastes the same. And it's got a lot of protein in it. Yeah, right.

[Bob or Tom]

But you can't go to Papa John's and get a pizza biscuit.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Maybe you're onto something, Tommy.

[Bob or Tom]

I don't know. I mean, they're paying the rent, they're there, the lights are on. Why not? I wonder if it would work.

[Derek Stroop]

Subway tried it. And the season I was doing MTV made, which was, I don't know, 15, 17 years ago, they were doing it in a couple stores and they were doing something in Louisville and it was a really good idea because it was the same patties and sausage muffin and the same bread and you could get all the subway toppings on it. Oh, yeah. So if you wanted onions or whatever you wanted, you could put that on there too. But it just didn't take off. But I, I thought it was a good idea. Tastes the same.

[Josh Arnold]

I think the lack of a drive thru for most subways is that's it's hard to get out of your car at 7 when you're on your way to work.

[Al Jackson]

Absolutely.

[Bob or Tom]

I remember when Arthur Treesor's Fish and Chips tried it. Didn't fly. Of course. That didn't fly at all. Anyway, thank you so much. Let's, let's push forward here. What's coming up, Christy Lee?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, coming up, we're going to talk about insomnia and your telephone or your tv. We'll talk about that. Speedy Gonzalez back in the news. And we have a lot of a couple of bald stories. We have.

[Bob or Tom]

We have the sexiest bald guy in the world again.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And then we have a bald guy being terrorized by a hawk.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, we'll find out about that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Guys.

[Josh Arnold]

Your pate all talon.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Never thought I'd be hearing that phrase. Quite the talent pate. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[J]

There's more of the show coming up. Book your next vacation with Christy Lee and Colette. Visit England, Scotland and Wales this September 28th. Visit bobandtom.com for details. This is the Bob and Tom show in May.

[Josh Arnold]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're so happy you're with us.

[Bob or Tom]

What are you doing?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm trying something new.

[Bob or Tom]

Soft jazz.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. There's Christine Lee. It really is annoying, isn't it? Sorry. Christy Lee's there. There's Pat Godwin. Al Jackson has joined us this morning. No. There's Jeff Oskay. I'm Josh Arnold. And there he is.

[Bob or Tom]

There's Tom Griswold. I love the affected delivery.

[Josh Arnold]

Why can't you just talk?

[Bob or Tom]

You ever wonder what would happen if the guy's going, oh, well, it's great to be here. By the way, the, the DJ booth's filling with smoke right now. My engineer, Al Jackson appears to have passed out. I'm probably gonna die.

[Josh Arnold]

What was the name of your favorite radio personality when you were growing up, up like a, like a young, you.

[Bob or Tom]

Know, maybe 10 years old Jerry G is.

[Josh Arnold]

And did you ever get to meet.

[Bob or Tom]

Jerry G. I did not.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, rock and roll.

[Josh Arnold]

How did he sound?

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, he had that, you know. Hey, the number one sounds of Jerry.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

G. In the business.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. I like pukers. I don't mind them.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I don't either. They had a lot of upbeat energy.

[Al Jackson]

And why were they called pukers?

[Josh Arnold]

They puke out everywhere.

[Bob or Tom]

Hey, in the studio we've got comedian Al Jackson. Al.

[Christy Lee]

Al.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm gonna play a song here. It's got a 17 second intro. Tell a joke, go.

[Al Jackson]

So you're bonkers tonight.

[Bob or Tom]

I that there were funny man Al Jackson radio shows, they would actually do that. Yeah, I, I've talked to comedians that were in studios. Gotta go. Okay, look, the intro on this is 27 seconds. I'll intro you and then you gotta get your joke in.

[Josh Arnold]

So I don't mind that as much as. And, and I end up having, I ended up having fun on some of these shows. Shows. But hey, no material, no jokes. Okay.

[Al Jackson]

I know the show you're talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

And it actually ends up being a good time.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. But it's a little nerve wracking. Oh, why'd you have me in?

[Bob or Tom]

I see Al Jackson is here with us. Al is on tour. It's Al Jackson, Willie G. And Frank Caliendo on the road. It's going to be really cool. They're going to be in Louisville at the Louisville Comedy Club. Tuesday night. Wednesday is Summit City in Fort Wayne. Thursday it's Helium. And then the weekend is Liberty Township, Greater Cincinnati. Once again, Frank Kelly and Willie G. And our in studio guest right now, Al Jackson. I think Frank's coming in. When? Tomorrow.

[Derek Stroop]

I think he is coming in tomorrow.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I know Willie's in tomorrow and it's Willie's birthday.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Are we getting cake?

[Bob or Tom]

It's a secret. I've got it handled. Everybody calm down.

[Christy Lee]

All right?

[Derek Stroop]

Is a birthday cake a secret on your birthday?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Good point. Well, around here there's a certain aspect of it.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm so glad you brought that up. I'll go ahead, go ahead about it.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, the secret is that I don't get a cake.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that's not quite true.

[Al Jackson]

They just go to Kroger and get me a crap cake.

[Josh Arnold]

It was, it was delicious.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, very good cake. Kroger makes very nice cake.

[Josh Arnold]

Better than whatever my name is misspelled.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Your name was Miss.

[Al Jackson]

Happy birthday Pot.

[Josh Arnold]

Amy can't bake a cake. I'm gonna be honest.

[Jeff Oskay]

Great at decorating. The cake is horrible.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, she's a Spackler. Sorry, Amy, she's not a baker, she's a Spackler.

[Bob or Tom]

Now for Josh's, for example, for Josh's birthday, Josh bought his first house. I got the address, went out there, took pictures of it, and Amy made a cake that looked just like his house.

[Josh Arnold]

It was ridiculous. It was insanely accurate.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was great.

[Bob or Tom]

Josh didn't know that we knew where it was going to be. Literally living. So that was kind of funny. Then for Pat, we got a guitar cake. Then the next year, and the next year we got him a cake from Kroger that was delicious. And Pat was all mad about it that we didn't get him a cake, you know, like showing something that he'd recently experienced, like his mother's basement couch.

[Josh Arnold]

I know where you're going with that.

[Al Jackson]

But the fact that you went to the basement.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Could have gone somewhere else.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I'll tell you what, it reminds me though, Pat, you had a song.

[Al Jackson]

Yes.

[Bob or Tom]

That I liked. We had this. Another one of these semi manufactured stories.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Infidelity and the social media age. They call it micro cheating.

[Bob or Tom]

Just. Just to make your life that much more miserable. Micro cheating is apparently if you're having.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Some kind of texting or private messaging with somebody that you're not your significant other doesn't know about.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. I guess. Yeah. Now see, to me, in my relationship, cheating is if we're watching a show together and I watch an episode and she's not there, or vice versa.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

A now do you tell.

[Derek Stroop]

That's a major violation.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

And then. Yeah, then you're. You're watching it. You're gonna go, you know what's. I bet this next thing. And then it happens.

[Derek Stroop]

Oops.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oops.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, that's. That to me is micro cheating.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

But Pat, you've got a song about this. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

This is called if you love me, will you let me. We've been together for over a month now. And I have a question. Now that we're naked and all alone I was happy to find you Wand and dine you so if you love me will you let me Let me go through your phone so what is your password? Let me see your old photos. We all have a past girl why don't you let me look inside? The tapping of the guitar in this awkward pause signifies the passage of time. Looking through old photos, her DMS and texts.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

Roughly about three minutes out. Who's the guy naked on the bed? Who's big D69? Dude in the dick pickle with a mole. How I Know that it's not mine. Thank you at&t for that lesson on male anatomy. Oh, I should have left it all alone and never went through your phone. Damn. If you love me, why'd you let me become a guy with penis envy? Oh, if you love me, why'd you let me. Hey, why let me go through your phone? Never should have did that.

[Bob or Tom]

Thank you very much, Patty G al Facts. Have you ever. What's the word?

[Derek Stroop]

Been caught red handed cheating with my phone? Yes, Tom, I have.

[Bob or Tom]

No, I was going to say, have you ever sent a so called dick pic?

[Derek Stroop]

Not no, it's if, if I did, it was early dp, years before. I just, it's too much evidence. And first of all, women don't want them. And the ones that do want them, you've probably already been intimate. So you're like, just wait for the real thing. I just think it's, it's, it's evidence that you're sending to somebody. I don't like that.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I can't, I don't find it at all erotic.

[Derek Stroop]

Christy, do women like that at all?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I have. Honestly, in my lifetime, I have only received one.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you solicit it?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, was it from a comedian from the show?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No, it was not.

[Josh Arnold]

The unsolicited DP is a real bold move.

[Bob or Tom]

Unless it's dressed up for the holidays. I think if it's, if it's got a theme, you know, if it's like Little Peter, Cock and tail, would that be.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was somebody I just started dating and I, I had not even even seen it.

[Al Jackson]

Did you continue dating?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Whoa, that was the intro, right? It was shocking. It was like, whoa, wait a minute.

[Derek Stroop]

I was talking to a female comedian friend of mine that hadn't talked to in years last week and we just got started on like when she started the business around 2007, 2008 and she was like, if you knew how many comics and people in the business just like would just send them like what we would do a show. I'd say, good show, Christy. You'd say good show, alright. You'd go to your hotel and by the time you got to your door, just picture it's, it's, it's like you have to see.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

They would send us each other pictures.

[Derek Stroop]

No, the comics would just send her.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Gee, I see what you're saying to.

[Derek Stroop]

The point where I told her she should start a coffee table book and she was like, I have hundreds.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Are you kidding me?

[Bob or Tom]

Do you have now, Christy, the one you got, Was it angry yes. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

That's the only way to go.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

You don't want to see it.

[Al Jackson]

Did you continue dating this person for a while?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

Was it a turn off?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No. It, it was shocking. It wasn't a turn on. It wasn't.

[Bob or Tom]

Did he, in order to facilitate taking the photograph, did he need one of those extender arms, the selfie stick? Then at least you'd be impressed.

[Al Jackson]

Did it take two photos?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Jeff Oskay]

Had to use the panorama.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

This was a long time ago.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. Apparently very long. Well, now we'll catch up with all this listening.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was a long time ago.

[Bob or Tom]

We'll catch up with this a little bit later on. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[J]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Catch any part of the show you missed later today on our YouTube channel.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee.

[Bob or Tom]

Hey, Josh, where are you at, honey?

[Josh Arnold]

The Silac Insurance Company news desk.

[Bob or Tom]

Where are you at, honey?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I'm with wherever you need me to be, babe.

[Al Jackson]

Hr HR just texted you.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought I'd try to be playful. Did it come out? It didn't come across as like.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes, it did. It was cute.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. A grammar issue. A number of.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

It was cute.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Godwin over there. I. Who am I looking at? There's Jeff oskay@the orangeinsouls.com sports desk.

[Bob or Tom]

You drunk?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm Josh Arnold at the I Hate Steven Singer Sidekick chair. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio studios. And there's Tom, not drunk. Happy.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, there we go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

All right. With us in the studio, comedian Al Jackson is here with us.

[Derek Stroop]

Not to. Josh.

[Al Jackson]

You'Re not here.

[Josh Arnold]

Sorry. Usually I go, hey, and by the way, Tom, who do we have a special guest that I just forgot to.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Because you're so part of the family.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Thank you.

[Derek Stroop]

I appreciate it.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, a couple things I wanted to get to. I, I am disputing the story that people are going to be using potatoes instead of eggs for their Easter decorations.

[Josh Arnold]

They're not. Look, this story does not say people are or people will. They're saying people can.

[Bob or Tom]

And I'm saying it's one of those phony manufactured stories that some intern came up with.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, we're talking about it, though.

[Bob or Tom]

No kid is going to want to go out in the yard looking for potatoes.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What difference does it make? They don't eat the eggs anyway.

[Bob or Tom]

No, but don't you understand tradition and fertility and all these Things about. That's what he does. That's what the eggs in the spring. And I don't know, I just think it's.

[Derek Stroop]

If you have.

[Bob or Tom]

Here comes Peter Tater tale hopping down the tuber trail.

[Josh Arnold]

Just an alternative.

[Bob or Tom]

Peel the spuds.

[Derek Stroop]

If you have young kids. Kids. And they don't. The tradition isn't established. Then you establish a potato based tradition.

[Bob or Tom]

And then the kids will be freaks for the rest of their life. Some psychiatrist 40 years down the road. Well, Jimmy, that's why you're a weirdo. Your parents gave you potatoes at Easter.

[Al Jackson]

Well, eggs are crazy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, but that's.

[Al Jackson]

Think about that.

[Bob or Tom]

Everything is. Think of the incredibly crazy traditions we have. Nothing makes sense. But you know, the Easter, it's. It involves fertility and I mean, eating chicken eggs is weird, but delicious.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

You know, why do we eat. We eat beef, but we don't eat dog. I mean, a person from Mars would go, why aren't you eating dogs? And it's because dogs are so sweet and they're such good boys and girls. That's why. But you try to explain that to a Martian. I rest my case.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you know what?

[Bob or Tom]

Martian.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a succinct argument.

[Al Jackson]

He didn't even say.

[Derek Stroop]

He should have been standing on a porch with a beer yelling that at a car driving away.

[Bob or Tom]

You say Martian instead of alien. You're already on. There is no way anyone is going to be making potatoes. Their kids search for potatoes in the yard. Get the plastic egg. Get the plastic eggs and fill them with candy.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes, they were.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, they weren't. They weren't saying have a potato hunt. They were saying, you can decorate potatoes as need be.

[Al Jackson]

And again, filters.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes.

[Al Jackson]

A way to use our product more.

[Bob or Tom]

Wouldn't Potato Hunt be like the worst pitch ever for a TV show? And then this is almost like. Remember the famous Mel Brooks movie where they say what would be the worst play we could ever make sure the producers. The producers. And they make Springtime for Hitler.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

What do you think Potato Hunt would potentially be the least scam all the.

[Derek Stroop]

People but in our society project, if Netflix did it right. Are you telling me half this country wouldn't be watching Potato Hunt?

[Josh Arnold]

Exactly.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, exactly.

[Derek Stroop]

Is it cake? Yeah, I think I'd be down with a little potato hunt.

[Bob or Tom]

Have you ever watched Is it Cake? That show is mesmerizing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I just get mad whenever it's not. Cake just frustrates.

[Derek Stroop]

Josh is pitching the show. Why isn't it cake?

[Al Jackson]

Why can't they all be.

[Bob or Tom]

Cake is my favorite Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you guys see last week's episode of kkk?

[Bob or Tom]

Well, now Christy Lee is at the Bob and Tom news desk. No more phony stories about kids looking for.

[Josh Arnold]

We're blessed not to have to worry about that.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, fine.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

West Iceland has a local brewery that's making a genuinely unusual beer. You didn't like Potato Hunt. You're going to love this. For the last 10 years, Steady Brewery is producing a seasonal beer called Havalur made with whale testicles that have been smoked in sheep dung.

[Josh Arnold]

Yum. We went from good to great.

[Derek Stroop]

Just stop at smoked and you're good.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Here's the description of the beer from the brewery's website. During the Icelandic season, where people gather in celebration and eat old traditional Icelandic food.

[Josh Arnold]

Too long didn't read.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Such as rotten shark, soured whale fat, rammed testicles, etc. We wanted to brew the perfect beer for the festival. Its ingredients pure Icelandic water, barley berry hops, sheep dung and smoked whale balls.

[Bob or Tom]

See, it starts. It starts out like one of those normal. One of those normal macho beers. You know those craft brew. They're always doing something weird. Macho beer. Oh, it's like it's got berry hops and Icelandic water and smoked whale testicles. And they're smoked in peach dung or sheep dung.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Sheep dawn beach dung would be.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

That'S only in the summer due.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

To a lack of trees in Iceland, they use sheep dung to smoke the balls. Apparently it gives the beer an excellent smoke taste. A smoke taste you have not tried before. They say it tastes like the beer.

[Bob or Tom]

Like the custodians testicle cheese.

[Al Jackson]

Why do people do this Job isn't done until they smoke the balls.

[Josh Arnold]

You're right. You're right.

[Bob or Tom]

But see, this is the kind. But this is based on an Icelandic tradition though. Much the way we go after Easter eggs.

[Al Jackson]

Like the rotten shark is crazy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Didn't I just read where Iceland is like the. The happiest country in the world or some crazy thing like ignorance is blessed.

[Jeff Oskay]

Have they not realized you can import, import better food now? Like you don't have to eat that crap anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, this has been a centuries old thing of chips or whatever, you know.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Buffalo chips being used.

[Jeff Oskay]

I learned some new stuff.

[Derek Stroop]

My girlfriend went to Iceland and she had the fermented shark and she has the most wide palate. She'll eat anything. She's tried everything. Nothing. She said the fermented shark. She still thinks about it like it is. It's. It's not. Unless you are born in that culture and like you understand that? She. She was like. She couldn't shake the taste.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I saw Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods. He did it.

[Al Jackson]

I saw that.

[Josh Arnold]

And he always takes two bites of everything. And normally he likes whatever weird, didn't he? And he was like, I don't want to take the second bite. This is so. And he did. And he was like, this is so awful for that guy.

[Bob or Tom]

What's the stuff in Scotland?

[Josh Arnold]

Haggis is actually pretty good.

[Derek Stroop]

What is haggis?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Intestines, isn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

Stomach, like, and just filled with meats. It's very. It's gamey and spicy. Yeah, I had it in Scotland and I liked it.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

There's a can of haggis in the other room.

[Josh Arnold]

I won't try that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

That's like the last thing you eat in the Walking Dead, you know, when all the good canned food is gone.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I finished the pumpkin pie filling. Break out the can of haggis.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And I have to correct myself. Finland is the happiest country, followed by Denmark, and Iceland was third. So apparently American.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm happy here.

[Bob or Tom]

This says that this Icelandic craft beer is. They do this every year as part of a celebration. It's been a long time. Tradition.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, what do we know? Maybe it's amazing.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Maybe.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. But there's. So, remember, we always get these crazy beers. There was the one made of shark. There was the one made of whale sperm.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

The guy's beard.

[Bob or Tom]

There was one made. There was one. Forgive me. Made from the pubic hair of Eastern European porn stars.

[Derek Stroop]

Get out of here.

[Bob or Tom]

No, really.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, he's right.

[Bob or Tom]

But, I mean, when they say it's made from it, it's not like there's hair in it. They. That was. They took a yeast. What was it? A yeast sample from the mommy parts of some model.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right.

[Bob or Tom]

It's. It's all just to be more insane and crazy and something to talk about.

[Derek Stroop]

Well, they nailed it. That's disgusting.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Yeah. Now, Christy Lee, what's coming up in the news?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, I don't know if you heard this over the weekend, but some man tried to drop off a Diet Coke for an ancient tribe. Did you hear about this story, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, it's one of those tribes that. No one. They're not. You can't have any contact with them.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right. They'll kill you. You don't want to get any near them. They've actually done that before.

[Josh Arnold]

Did they use the Diet Coke as a man marinade?

[Bob or Tom]

Remember the old cartoons with the. The explorer standing. Standing in the big cauldron. That's not too far from what happened.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Not too far.

[Bob or Tom]

But we'll find out about that coming up. Speaking of beverages, this is. I was talking to Al about this. Java House is now our official coffee. Coffee here in the bobbin.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Poor baby.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, Josh, you got your little peel and pour.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it. I have one. I've actually already done it. It took me all of 4 seconds to open up the peel and pour pod.

[Bob or Tom]

I got one right here. Look at this. It looks like a Keurig cup. It's a little bit bigger. You could probably just barely get a golf ball in this little tiny thing. But this is a concentrate of. This happens to be cold brew. Colombian.

[Josh Arnold]

Ooh, that's my fave.

[Bob or Tom]

And you can drink this hot or cold, by the way. Cold brew is how the. It is brewed over a long period of time. Cold. And then it can be. You can down it hot or cold. And they've got everything at Java House. The idea is to revolutionize coffee both in your home and at the office. You can get rid of the dirty Keurigs and have these guys here. I happen to like the tea.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I just made the black tea myself.

[Bob or Tom]

There we go.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

In cold water. So now I have iced tea. It's very.

[Bob or Tom]

Tell me more about Java House, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, let me do that.

[Derek Stroop]

Josh was just staring at my favorite.

[Josh Arnold]

This isn't. This is not. It's time to break up with your brewer. Get started@java house.com and use promo code Bob and Tom to get 25% off your order. That's java house.com promo code Bob and Tom. That's all one word. Java House. It really is barista quality. And I think you'll find it takes far less time than dealing with those silly machines or pots or messy contraptions.

[Bob or Tom]

The percolator. Remember the commercial? By the time you sing here, I'll do it.

[Josh Arnold]

You're exactly right.

[Bob or Tom]

Time I sing this song. You could have made your Java House coffee Land Pork. I haven't even finished my jingle.

[Josh Arnold]

Java House, the official coffee and refreshments of the Bob and Tom show. Thank you so much, Java House. Now, Al, they did not go with Java the Hut. I thought they should have done that.

[Derek Stroop]

That's really.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently Disney and Lucas get a little litigious.

[Derek Stroop]

They don't like that.

[Bob or Tom]

It's Java House. Thank you very much. Now we're hanging out with comedian Al Jackson. Al is going to be joining Frank Kelly and doing Willie G. Little mini tour starting Tuesday evening in Louisville at The Louisville Comedy Club. Then Louisville, the Summit City in Fort Wayne. Wednesday, Thursday, Helium, and then on Friday and Saturday, Liberty Township, Greater Cincinnati. They'll be hanging out, having a great time and Al will be part of the show.

[Derek Stroop]

I cannot wait to see my boys. We're going to do my home state, Ohio. What's up?

[Bob or Tom]

And, and Willie G. Will be our guest tomorrow. He is having his birthday tomorrow. All right, now we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, we're not all seated in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, Pat's in the performance.

[Bob or Tom]

We had to move. Pat Godwin.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, that is picky. Yeah, really nitpicky.

[Al Jackson]

Sorry about the gas, everybody.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

You know that filter on that camera took 10 years off your life.

[Bob or Tom]

Really?

[Al Jackson]

I should use this all the time. Thank you very much for the lack of compliment.

[Bob or Tom]

You look like that guy that hosts the dog show. What's his name?

Yeah, I did.

[Bob or Tom]

What your team were the fighting? What?

Well, I don't know if there was much fighting because we were the Senators. Yeah, it was a, it was A tough mascot, you know, especially in a land full of tigers and bears and dragons. We were the senators. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I don't feel bad. I was a prepper before, it meant. Before prepper meant, you know, storing ammunition and water.

[Christy Lee]

As.

[Bob or Tom]

As Al will tell you, it meant that we had madras football uniforms.

[Christy Lee]

Like a prepper. Y'all run out of the bunker to start the game. I like that.

[Bob or Tom]

Now you're a big guy. Were you a football player?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, I grew up in Alabama. You don't have a choice, but. Yeah, I. I grew up playing a lot of football, a lot of basketball. I was a tight end back in the day.

[Bob or Tom]

I got them soft hands.

[Christy Lee]

That's right, man. That's right. I. Yeah, in Alabama, there's not much of a choice, but. Yeah. Love it. Love it.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, are you a married guy? Single guy? I don't know, I've never met.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I recently. This past year, I got engaged for the first time, so. That's excited. I've been 40 years old. I've been on the run for a while, so. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty. Pretty exciting. I. We get married here in a month, but. Yeah, I know. I've got a. I got a good woman. She's. She's from Kansas. Everybody should get a partner from Kansas. That's what I tell people.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I got a don't tell said after our reception. She doesn't know that yet. That's. It's a don't tell. She'll never know about it.

[Derek Stroop]

He's rushing the preacher. Like, he's like, do you. He's like, pick it up.

You got the light 10 minutes ago.

[Bob or Tom]

There's the light. Shut up. Say, I do.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. May 11th is my mother's day.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. May 10th is your wedding? Yeah, yeah. May 10th. Is that.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Are you getting married in Kansas?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no, no. It. We should have. I guarantee you the bottom line would be a lot nicer to look at. I go, we'd rent a barn and have barbecue and it'd be $14.

[Bob or Tom]

But also, the way things work in Kansas, you're gonna have to knock her up on Mother's Day. It's the law, son. There's a shotgun in your ass.

[Christy Lee]

It's the law. Yeah, you're probably right. No, we're going to get. We're getting married down at the beach, so it'll be exciting. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. That's nice. Now, I'm looking at your schedule. You're doing a lot of opening for John Christ.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

As we like to call him this season. John Christ.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I wonder how many times he's gotten that. Oh, I'm getting introduced on stage. This guy's fumbling with. Oh, tonight it's John Christ.

[Christy Lee]

It happens all the time. Well, he has an intro video to a show where he did, like, a flyover with a plane that has his name on the back of it. Welcome to the John Chris Show. And they really. It's not, it's not. They misspelled it. It says, welcome to the John Christ show. And it flew right over the beach in the middle of the day. I mean, it happens all, all the time. I mean, Chris to Christ, it happens quick.

[Bob or Tom]

Wow, that is great. You're doing a bunch of opening for them. Omaha, Wichita, Tulsa, Sacramento, Fresno. You'll be at the Sororian Theater coming up on April 18th. San Diego, Fort Myers, Tampa, Pensacola, April 27th. And then that's when you, you do your DC comedy loft. And pretty soon you're getting married. You got a big gap there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Honeymoon planned.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, I, I go out on the road with. With my good buddy Nate Bargazzi as well, who I just don't. Yeah, I know. I hadn't heard of him either. We'll see. I'm hoping he's selling good and there's some decent crowds, but. Yeah, I, I, I, I don't have it on my schedule, but I'll be out with him some, too. That's where some of those gaps are.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay.

[Derek Stroop]

Nate and I came up in New York together, and I remember just. And this is 2009, 2010. I've known Nate my whole career, and just. I remember just watching him on stage, like, I love this guy.

[J]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

And to see him blow up like this, it reaffirms that, like, good Stand up is still appreciated. He doesn't have a gimmick. He's like that offstage for sure. Best dude ever.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I, I, I mean, Al nailed it. That's exactly right. I mean on and off stage, same deadpan, same delivery, super funny guy. And I mean, you know, he's just up there telling jokes. There's no magic tricks. It's just zinger after zinger.

[Bob or Tom]

But isn't his dad a magician?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I mean, I remember the first time he was in here. I was so fascinated by that.

[Christy Lee]

Well, not just a magician, but a showman. I mean, Stephen Bargazi puts on a show that I'm talking about to this day, till this day. Well, I mean a really, really fun show. I mean he's a, he's a great entertainer and just like, I mean, on and off stage, I mean, you got to stay on your toes when you're around Nate's dad because he, he's, he's quick witted. He's a fun dude.

[Derek Stroop]

I see a father son tour coming up.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, man.

[Bob or Tom]

We're talking with comedian Derek Stroup. We're going to switch gears right now and head over that direction where Christy Lee is. She's a poise and ready ready to rock at the Silac Insurance news desk. What do you got, Christy?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Prince William has been named the world's sexiest bald man for two consecutive years. The new study placed the Prince of Wales 42 ahead of contenders such as Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Stanley Tucci and Vin Diesel as the future king of Britain retained his crown as the hottest man without hair in the 2024 survey.

[Josh Arnold]

Christy, who is it safe to say your favorite is? Statham.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He's not even on here. Jason didn't make the list.

[Bob or Tom]

Not Howie Mandel.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No, not Howie Mandel. Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson climbed to the second spot. Shaquille O'Neal just hooker will be happy broke into the top three after he was ranked as the ninth best looking bald man in 2022.

[Josh Arnold]

Would Dwayne Johnson be bald if he didn't shave his head?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I don't know.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, what are the criteria?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right, so you have to be a natural bald guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Statham would be bald.

[Bob or Tom]

Bald.

[Josh Arnold]

Tucci would be bald.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right.

[Bob or Tom]

How about Mr. Clean? Is he in there?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Mr. Clean's not in here. Noo ball that no people have heard of Tom.

[Bob or Tom]

Mr. Magoo.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we're being semi.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I've heard of Mr. Magoo, but I'm kind of caught up on. I think you should have naturally had your hair fall out to be in the competition.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Christy Lee]

You know what I'm saying? You can't. You can't, you know, be a good looking dude, shave your head and go, I won. Yeah, exactly. This is for people cornered. And this.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Professional surfer Kelly Slater, who was recently spotted catching waves with Prince Harry in California, came in in fourth position, earning high scores for his golden ratio, the sheen of his scalp and smile. Also on the list, actor Terry Crews, taxi star Danny DeVito, Samuel L. Jackson.

[Bob or Tom]

Danny DeVito.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Vin Diesel. Drop all the way down to last.

[Josh Arnold]

Does Danny DeVito have sex appeal?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He doesn't have a little bit of hair on the bottom of his head?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Bob or Tom]

But he's charming. I think he's such a charming guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right. But I mean, I've never heard a woman go, I really.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Because we all have sort of odd crushes. But that one I haven't heard before.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I will never forget this as long as I live. And this is gonna sound like one of Tom's stories, but I was at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. And. Yes. And Danny DeVito was sitting in one of those banquet tables that, you know, have like that half round.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it wasn't a high chair.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Sure.

[Bob or Tom]

Gosh.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And he had three. He had six hot girls under the age of 33 on each side. And he walked out with all six of them.

[Jeff Oskay]

That's right.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

This was.

[Josh Arnold]

Is this when he and Rio were split?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Wow.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. I will never forget.

[Josh Arnold]

Good for Danny.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

So in answer to your question, apparently he does sex appeal.

[Bob or Tom]

I don't know if he has sex.

[Josh Arnold]

Appeal so much as money.

[Christy Lee]

I was about to say. I think that sentence ends earlier. I think. I don't think that it's sex appeal. I think that sentence ends earlier. I don't think there's appeal. Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

He has sex. Yeah, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

And who needs Viagra when you've got. Yeah. New bile. 17 or 19 year olds.

[Josh Arnold]

He has American Express, black card.

[Christy Lee]

He's telling those girls about how he was the penguin. And they're like, what are you talking about? He's like, oh, you missed it.

[Bob or Tom]

It was good.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

And they were all like, you know, six feet tall.

[Bob or Tom]

Let me ask you this. Derek Stroop is our. Guess You're a man of a certain age. What are you, 40? Ish.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, 40. 40 on the dot.

[Bob or Tom]

Do you remember Yul Brenner?

[Christy Lee]

Yul Brenner? I don't.

[Bob or Tom]

I would say Al. Wouldn't you say he was the first Famous shaved head white guy.

[Derek Stroop]

I don't really know Yul Brenner. I kind of know him. What was he?

[Al Jackson]

What was the King and I?

[Bob or Tom]

The King and I. Westworld.

[Josh Arnold]

But yeah, this is way earlier. This is before you.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, before me. He was like a shaved head guy. Like in 1960.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He wasn't naturally bald. He shaved his head.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, he was. Was. Yeah, but he shaved all of it off.

[Derek Stroop]

If you're gonna go old school like that. What about Telly Savalas?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, this is pre Telly.

[Derek Stroop]

Really?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. Telly Savalas is probably the first one.

[Derek Stroop]

He was like the first play. Because I remember being at my grandparents house and there would be magazines and it'd be like the player section. And I just like, I want to be a guy like that that goes to Lake Tahoe with whatever car.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Diners.

[Derek Stroop]

It was the diner.

[Josh Arnold]

Was it the Players Club? The Players Club, yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

And I just thought that was like. So I'm in Cleveland, Ohio. I was like, that seemed like a different planet to me. I was like, that's when you make it Lake Tahoe in Club Med, wherever that is.

[Bob or Tom]

I mean the shaved, the shaved white guy now is very common. Shaved head, white guy. But it, it was re. Back in 75. They'd assume you were having chemotherapy or something. Not a thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, well, if you want to bring comedy into.

[Bob or Tom]

Well done. I forgive you for screwing up the previous.

[Josh Arnold]

He really thinks I messed that intro up. He really thinks that.

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, no, the commercial. Welcome back. If you're just joining us, this is the Derek Stroop show. Wait, this is the Bob and Tom Show. See, I mess it up and I make it work. Derek is our guest here in the Bob and Tom show. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And earlier on the show we had our guest, Al Jackson do our shoeing of the week pick for tonight's game.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, Florida to cover, baby.

[Bob or Tom]

And they're getting a one and a half.

[Derek Stroop]

One and a half.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, so we'll see. Thank you very much. Our guest just bringing that up.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. No real reason.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Just talking because everybody's talking about the game. It's the national championship.

[Derek Stroop]

Us to talk about.

[Bob or Tom]

We should explain to Darren.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Josh and Tom don't watch basketball.

[Bob or Tom]

Josh has never watched a basketball.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's fine. But you brought it up for literally no reason just now because. Because you didn't know what to say.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

If you're going to point out my.

[Bob or Tom]

Flaws, it's gonna get you.

[Derek Stroop]

Ever been in the car with a couple that's fighting but not yelling.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And you want to jump in, but you can't find a good spot.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

You know, you feel really awkward because you don't know what to do.

[Josh Arnold]

All of you just sh. Tom and I have some stuff to work out.

[Al Jackson]

Not passive aggressive at all, just aggressive.

[Bob or Tom]

Let's get back to our guest. I don't know anything about Derek Stroop. Let me ask you this, Derek. I gotta see if I have any money. I think I have a dollar. Oh, this ought to be good.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I got a five. Okay. Bounce. I guess if you get this question, you get five bucks. Ready?

[Christy Lee]

Okay. Well, this would be good.

[Bob or Tom]

Derek and the Dominoes.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Bob or Tom]

Great band. You familiar with them?

[Christy Lee]

I am. Oh.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, yeah. Name me any of the Dominoes.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I mean, I would like to start off with Derek.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. Name Derek.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I mean, I should.

[Bob or Tom]

Who's Derek? Who.

[Christy Lee]

Who is Derek?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Derek.

[Bob or Tom]

And time's up.

[Josh Arnold]

It's hard to put into words, isn't it?

[Bob or Tom]

Derek is.

[Christy Lee]

He's a lot of things. If you really know him.

[Bob or Tom]

He really is.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, he's complicated.

[Bob or Tom]

Derek, of course, is Eric Clapton. Oh, Derek and the Dominoes. It was a trick question.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Okay. Well, I mean, I feel like I kind of got around it at first.

[Bob or Tom]

I thought you knew. Yeah, I was worried about my five bucks.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, that's two. What was the bald headed guy we were just talking about? Brenner.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, you'll.

[Christy Lee]

Derek and the Dominoes. If I was 64, I'd be all over this trivia right now. I'm over here, 40, getting beat up. I'm like, man, can we talk about the Ninja Turtles?

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, who's the famous. Who's the most famous bald white guy of your era?

[Christy Lee]

Most famous bald white guy of my era.

[Bob or Tom]

I mean, comedian.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, I would have. Well, I mean, immediately I'm gonna say Mr. Clean is who I grew up watching on TV. But besides that. I mean, immediately, because what. Whoever's fresh on your Scott Van Pelt's the. I mean, the person that comes to mind immediately. But I know there's other people. But I've never taken note of bald people and gone. This is a pretty successful bald guy.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes.

[Bob or Tom]

Elmer Fud.

[Derek Stroop]

What about El Them Picard?

[Al Jackson]

Bruce Willis.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Patrick, I heard somebody say Bruce Willis is a good one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

First. Yeah, that's definitely. I've never. Could you imagine him with hair? That'd be.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I can, because I watched Moonlight.

[Jeff Oskay]

Here we go.

[Derek Stroop]

But that goes back to the question. Derek is Bruce Willis.

[Josh Arnold]

Ball.

[Derek Stroop]

Because he always. He had like the stubble and Die Hard where you could see the outline of the. Ha.

[Josh Arnold]

But he is bald.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, but he is.

[Derek Stroop]

So is that. Does that count in this contest as bald? Or is it like Michael Jordan bowling ball bald?

[Josh Arnold]

You know, I think it should be. What? It should be the Bruce Willis kind of ball.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't have a choice.

[Derek Stroop]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob or Tom]

But. But even. Even the ballist of men still have that kind of tonsure thing going. Yeah. And so that. But if they shave that off, then they become eligible for this contest. I guess. Technically Prince William still has the hair around the side.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He does. So you. You would never consider shaving the rest of your hair?

[Bob or Tom]

No, no, no, no. I. I cling to these like I cling to. No, I should probably say to Derek. Derek, I'm also going bald down there. I have a pubic comb over.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Well, great.

[Al Jackson]

It's great.

[Christy Lee]

It's awesome.

[Bob or Tom]

Unless there's a stiff. If there's a. If there's a stiff breeze, it's a little embarrassing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I'm sure. I'd hate to see the wind flap that yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Song. You have your guitar in your hand.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, we. This is a possible sing along. Here we go. Tommy G and little old me not on the sexiest list for a bald man Some ladies are fine With a noggin that shines they think it's stray Sexy A bald man well, just look at Jason Statham Christie thinks that he is pretty Dwayne Johnson is the rock Bald and very witty all but his hair he did lose Strands are no longer there so he shaved his head and he has women to spare He's a bald man Prince William's the sexiest bald man I wear a baseball cap ball and nobody voted for me Bald man When my son's face clears up his next biggest fear is that he'll be like his dad, A bald man. While he's jerking and eating Josh's hair is receding but he's a big sexy.

[Bob or Tom]

Bald hat Jerking and he. I love that new.

[Josh Arnold]

Like, you didn't write that.

[Al Jackson]

Tom wrote that.

[Josh Arnold]

Jo.

[Bob or Tom]

I forgot to ask Derek, do you have hair under the hat?

[Christy Lee]

Do I have hair under the hat? Yeah. I do figure for you.

[Bob or Tom]

Me too.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry, we were switching. I go. Is that code? Is that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, this guy seems like he has hair under the hat.

[Christy Lee]

Hair under the hat. You know what I mean?

[Al Jackson]

[Bob or Tom]

I, I'm again skeptical.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Okay.

[Bob or Tom]

I don't see a difference between reading a book and holding a screen.

[Josh Arnold]

We'll have to see.

[Bob or Tom]

Except when you take a book and you go like this with your fingers, it doesn't get bigger. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[J]

[Bob or Tom]

Dot com.

[Josh Arnold]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee. Al Jackson's here with us this morning. There's Jeff Oskay. I'm Josh Arnold. Pat Godwin in the performance room. Tom's there. And we have another guest, Derek Stroop. Great to meet you, Derek. The listeners are writing in.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, awesome.

[Josh Arnold]

Many listeners want to know what that cologne you're wearing is. That's right.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they can smell it.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, man. I was already given a warning about this. They were like, we didn't, we didn't book you the normal way. These guys hate cologne. I even went in to the bathroom and, and wiped myself down with towelettes for you. Very interesting people in here. My goodness. No, no. When you hop into a cab in New York City, I bet you love the smell. You go, now this, this is natural. This is what I was looking for.

[Josh Arnold]

I have, like, a weird allergy to it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, no, he was telling me, I mean, and, and I go, I'm the worst person to miss this email because I love cologne. I mean, I put on cologne to take out the trash. I, yeah, I, I, I love, I love cologne.

[Bob or Tom]

Is this a Southern thing?

[Christy Lee]

You know, I don't know if it's a Southern thing. My grandfather wore a lot of cologne. And when I was a little kid, he came and stayed, like, a week at our house and, and he slept in my room. And I remember when he left my pillow in my bed smelled like his cologne for, like, three weeks. And I loved it. I was like, I wanna wear what he wears. And so I just started wearing cologne at a really young age. It was kind of one of those days.

[Derek Stroop]

I went out and bought the cologne my dad used to wear.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Really?

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, it's a. The smell. Smell. I think almost more than, like, seeing something takes you back to, like. I can still, like, smell like my grandmother's, like, boudoir. Remember old school women that would have, like, the triangular mirror and there would be powder and stuff on it just to smell the baby powder. Like, I remember.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What did your dad wear?

[Derek Stroop]

He wore locker felt.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, nice.

[Derek Stroop]

Yes. That was. Yeah, you can't. You have to kind of get it from the website.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Right?

[Derek Stroop]

But, yeah, that's the only cologne that I really own. But do you guys.

[Josh Arnold]

Will you guys cologne up before you're on, like, a plane?

[Christy Lee]

Look, he's like, he's, like, looking out for other people like him. He's like, you sit next to people, I'm gonna tell you, you're gonna hate my answer. I, I put on cologne for all situ. I, I got in my head One time I saw this reel that came on, and this guy was blasting men that put on cologne to go to work with men.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And I was like this. I don't wear it thinking like that. I just wear it to smell good. But, like, I mean, I've done some blue collar jobs, and if I'm going to cut grass, your boy's going to smell good while he's on the lawnmower. Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

All right. What is the. What is the name of your cologne?

[Christy Lee]

Well, I have to say Lifelong Intuition Fan by Estee Lauder. But they recently discont that, which is heartbreaking. Y'all wouldn't understand.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, we've all been there with deodorant shampoo.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Dolce Gabbana. The one is what. Is what I have on right now.

[Josh Arnold]

So I see it as a form of bullying.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I can tell.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's real.

[Jeff Oskay]

So, Derek, when you were young and you liked your grandfather's cologne, was it weird being the only third grader wearing English leather to the school?

[Christy Lee]

One time, all my friends they invited. Invited me kind of last minute to go to a movie. My mom said I ran inside, went to the bathroom, took all my. You remember that? Polo green? Yeah, man. I mean, that's what. That's what my grandfather wore. And she said I just took the top off and I just dumped it. And she said when I came out of the bathroom, like, nobody could be within, like, 30 yards. I missed the movie. And she made me soak in vinegar. Yeah, yeah. And then I looked it up, and vinegar doesn't even help in that situation. Back in the day, listen, back before the Internet, parents, we just did, like, home. You just guessed. You didn't get to Google. My son smells like cologne. You go, I just poured apple cider vinegar. Lay down in it for a little bit.

[Derek Stroop]

Somebody's like, I think this is for bee stings.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Or for skunks.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Wow.

[Derek Stroop]

I love it.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, is this the kind of cologne that you. You spray it in the air and walk through it, or is this like a liquid you smear on I.

[Christy Lee]

That women spray in the air and walk through it?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

That's exactly.

[Christy Lee]

I think men spray directly. So I'm gonna step back and. And spray. And I mean, you know, this is a maybe a big moment for me where I can be more conscious of the people that are around me, you know, because now, in hindsight, if we saw maybe a smash cut of my life, there's all these people around me, like, doing that. What is.

[Bob or Tom]

You know, ladies and gentlemen taking the stage. Derek's.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. And then there's one woman from Kansas that goes. I don't know.

[Bob or Tom]

I like it.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I've never smelled anything like that.

[Derek Stroop]

That's what you want. And honestly, like, Derek, I think I relate to you clearly more than anybody else in this room. Like, being a black dude, getting ready to go to the club with other black men, it was ironing clothes and putting on cologne and getting your hair right with your waves. But there. There is a. Like a male grooming routine, and I feel like the. The cologne is part of it for sure. It's just. That's why you were like. Even when I went to work. It's like, almost like a finishing thing.

[Christy Lee]

It is.

[Derek Stroop]

I'm ready to go now.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

I totally get that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Sometimes I'll forget to put it on, and I'll be going out, and I'm like, I really. I don't have the juice right now. I don't have that thing that makes him go, okay. Your boy Stroop over there.

[Bob or Tom]

So your. Your fiance.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Dig. She digs the.

[Josh Arnold]

She must.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, he said she must.

[Josh Arnold]

But Christy and I were talking about this. You want whatever your girl says smells good or bad, you go with what she says.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, no, no, I agree. And that. I mean, there's been times where she's like, I don't love that shirt on you, and that'll damage you. I mean, you're the only. I mean, your opinion, you know, carries a lot of weight.

[Bob or Tom]

You know, just wait till you're married and you go out with her and she says, get this shirt. You get it the next time you have an uncle. She goes, I don't like that shirt on you. And you go, but wait a minute. You picked. No, I didn't. Yeah, I'm sorry. That's my life. Derek Stroop is our guest. You were getting. You're getting married real soon. I got to say one more thing. Tomorrow night, Tuesday, you're going to be in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Ryman.

[Christy Lee]

Ryman Auditorium.

[Bob or Tom]

Such a historic, cool place with, among others, Ryan Hamilton.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Ryan Hamilton Nickerson. Yeah. Some really funny folks. We're going to be on that show. So excited. Nate Land presents part of Nate Bargetz's production team and also part of Nashville's Comedy Fest. So thanks for mentioning that. It was a lot of fun.

[Bob or Tom]

That'll be a show. Speaking of on the road, Frank Caliendo doing some rare club appearances, and he's taking with him Willie G. And our other guest Al Jackson. That'll be Tuesday night Louisville at the Louisville Comedy Club. Wednesday, Summit City in Fort Wayne, Thursday, Helium and Indy, and then Friday and Saturday, Cincy's Funny Bone in Liberty Township. We're going to come back.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin in the performance room. Hello, Jeff Osk's there at the Originsouls.com sports desk. I'm Josh Arnold at the I Hate Stephen Singer sidekick chair. And there's Tom. And Tom, we're joined by some wonderful guests this morning.

[Bob or Tom]

A handsome, a handsome comedian.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, see what he's doing there?

[Derek Stroop]

Hitting us against each other, talking about.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I think I know.

[Bob or Tom]

We have a comedian, Al Jackson right over there from Denver, Colorado. And we have comedian Derek Strube from Harvest, Alabama.

[Derek Stroop]

And hey, why are you introducing us like this is an amateur boxing night?

[Josh Arnold]

Because it is.

[Derek Stroop]

Now.

[Christy Lee]

I clearly didn't do this one by weight class.

[Derek Stroop]

I'd be texting Derek before the fight. Please don't hit me that hard. Texting pictures of my kids.

[Bob or Tom]

A couple things. Ask. Al has a new stand up special called the Beautiful Thing on his patreon. It's Al Jackson 24 7.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah. Patreon.com backslash Al Jackson 24 7.

[Bob or Tom]

All right. And then Derek, it's my understanding, I have not heard it, but you have a, a comedy album called Eating Dinner Twice.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, I do. Yeah. It is available everywhere. I released it last year on Larry the Cable Guys record. So, yeah, that's a, that's a fun one for sure.

[Bob or Tom]

Love that Get Her Done records.

[Christy Lee]

That Get Her Done records.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, we were just talking off the air about something and Derek coughed up this trivia fact.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Bob or Tom]

He mentioned that he just moved to New York City.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Correct.

[Bob or Tom]

So I asked him, do you have a car? Because keeping a car in New York City, which I have done and it's not worth it. But you told me you don't drive at all.

[Christy Lee]

No, I do not drive at all. I haven't drove in 14 years. So I mean, you know, sometimes I'll park the car in the Parking lot. And the adrenaline is unreal. Yeah. Like, we'll get to Cracker Barrel, and I'll go. Let me back it in. You know, Let me show you. Big dog. Still got it, you know.

[Derek Stroop]

So you just.

[Bob or Tom]

You don't like driving?

[Christy Lee]

No, no. 14 years ago, I. In what kind of started my comedy career and changed my life. I got two DUIs in six months. And I say six months because it sounds better than four. And. And I don't drink anymore. Nobody has to worry about me out there. But I gave up. I gave up driving. I'd never even had a speeding ticket in my life. And I had those two. Those two incidents happen, and it just kind of shell shocked me. And. And I just, you know, gave up driving immediately, and I gave up drinking about four years ago. But what's funny is. Okay, y'all get it. Listen, what's funny about this is I tell this story about a year ago, I'm out on tour with Bert Kreischer, and we're sitting on his bus, and he goes, hey, man, how does somebody from harvest Alabama get into comedy? And I tell him this story. I tell him about the DUIs and what type of position it put me in and how it changed my life. And I tell him at the end, I go, and, you know, I. I haven't drank in four years. I haven't drove in 14. And Bert's looking at me, and he puts out his cigar. And if y'all know anything about cigars, that's quite the computer commitment. And he goes, man, I. I've heard a lot of DUI stories. And he goes, they never end this way. He goes, they all end the same way. They all end with, hey, Bert, I have not drank in 14 years. He goes, you just looked at me and said, you have not drove in 14 years. He goes, derek, I think you're the first person I've ever met that gave up the vehicle and not the booze. And. And he's so right, because at the time, I can remember thinking, this Jim Beam, not the problem. This. This Camry is bad luck. I was like, I'm very good at drinking. They just get mad every time. I mean, the Camry is a V6. I don't know what they're mad at. You know, it's a decent vehicle. But, yeah, so, yeah, 14 years. Haven't.

[Bob or Tom]

But living in a rural area.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. No, I didn't. I did. That was the toughest. But only a couple years in a rural area. And then I moved to Denver, and I Lived in downtown Denver, just a few blocks from Coors Field for a decade, and Uber and Lyft and all that. Definitely made that okay. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay. That all kicked in because, yeah, I know a couple people that don't drive and it's, it's not easy.

[Derek Stroop]

Seems freeing. It does, in a way, live in the right place. It seems very like, well, if you.

[Bob or Tom]

Live in a place where you can walk everywhere, or if you're in New York and you can take the subway or whatever, that's great.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. New York is, is a different beast. I mean, in, in Denver, I only ubered and Lyft. And I'll be honest. I mean, you got a. Al will know this. Denver is a scooter city. City.

[Derek Stroop]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

And so you can run your errands and live your life in downtown Denver on a scooter. I know it's hard to wrap your head around, but, but, but you can now. It doesn't. You know, when I'm leaving the grocery store and I have seven bags on the handles, it doesn't look like I'm doing great. I'll be honest. I'm doing better than I look when I'm riding, when I'm holding a gallon of milk headed down Broadway.

[Derek Stroop]

You got to get two to balance it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Two of everything.

[Christy Lee]

One gallon. I'm just doing circles. Parking lot. Somebody buy another gallon Now.

[Bob or Tom]

Are you a, are you a cook? You're, you're a man of a certain size. You played football?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Do a cook for yourself.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I love, I, I, I love to, to cook. I mean, I'm not somebody that, like, I don't do any complicated recipes. I'm a crock pot guy. Pretty easy stuff. But I learned how to cook at a young age because, I mean, I've been a big guy my whole life, and I can remember at a young age my mom being like, if you're going to eat at this rate, rate, you're gonna have to make some stuff. So I can remember being like 7 years old being like, I think the baloney is ready to be flipped, you know, so I've been cooking for, for a while. I love, I like to eat more than I like. Like, I watch a lot of chefs on TV and I don't really pay attention to the recipe. I'm, I'm there for what? I'm there for the finished, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. I want to see that bite. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, so you want watch those cooking shows. Like, I watch porn. I just fast forward to the end.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's.

[Josh Arnold]

I just want the money.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.

[Bob or Tom]

Do you eat any unusual food? Any unusual southern type stuff?

[Christy Lee]

No, I mean, I tell people I'm a sodium guy from way back. I love salt. I wish I wasn't, man. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I'll buy baloney and just suck on it, you know? I mean, I, I mean, I want to get done eating dinner and take off my socks. It looks like I still got them on, you know?

[Bob or Tom]

Did you, did you see that thing? It was a. It was a couple summers ago, I think, and I think it was at a Yankee game where it went one of those viral things where somebody took a, like, hot dog and they, they, they hollowed it out.

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Straw.

[Bob or Tom]

And they were sucking the beer out of it. So we tried that here.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know you were going to say that.

[Bob or Tom]

And, And I did. I did it with a. I did it with coffee. And I gotta tell you, I was quite. It wasn't bad because it was so salty.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. See now, now I see where you're going. I would like that too, because I do love salty. Have you ever had Bold peanuts?

[Bob or Tom]

No.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you would love them. I mean, they're just little sodium, Little sodium bombs. Just in a. Yeah, man. I mean, you'll stand up, you'll. You'll go, my legs are heavy.

[Bob or Tom]

You'll be happy. I like that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, no, no, Bold Peanuts, that's a, That's a Southern delicacy and something you can't find anywhere else. But where I grew up, they were in every gas station. And that's definitely something that, That I miss. But I'm a pretty simple guy when it comes to food. I mean, I, I'm not picky, but I, I love wings, I love sandwiches and I love pasta, and I kind of bounce in between there. I mean, if you make a sandwich, I'm in. I mean, it doesn't matter has.

[Bob or Tom]

Where. You live in New York. You're in Queens.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I'm in Astoria. I'm in a great food area. I mean, I've had enough. I mean, I've had enough euros to kill a man, I can tell you that.

[Derek Stroop]

Food for days.

[Christy Lee]

Greek food for days.

[Derek Stroop]

Oh, man, I know you love Greek food. Beer gardens. But I was going to say, just like you kind of brought it up. My favorite thing about being in states like Alabama, the South, but just driving around doing gigs is going to the gas station and getting the local potato chips. Oh, come on the local potato chips are always low. Like their salt and vinegar chips. They're like, we have to try extra because we're not the big guys. Like.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

So their barbecue chips, their. Their salt and vinegar is going to be so salty, you have to pull your car off.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, for sure.

[Derek Stroop]

This is what I want.

[Christy Lee]

I love that he called that out. We have a brand down there called Golden Flake and it's just kind of in the south, it's out of Birmingham and it's a chip company. But I'm gonna tell you, shout out to a regional chip around here, Grippos are delicious.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Grippo's Barbecue. You had Grippers barbecue. Come on. I got them in my hood. I got the half pound bag and there's none left. Yeah, I love them, man. I like to put Grippos on Grippos.

[Bob or Tom]

Doesn't Grippo sound like the name of a chimp?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Grippo. No.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Let go.

[Christy Lee]

Grippo.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Why do they call him Grip?

[Bob or Tom]

We're hanging out with Derek Stroop and Al Jackson.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What a fun morning.

[Bob or Tom]

Now, Derek, you mentioned that you're not a drinker.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I don't know anymore.

[Bob or Tom]

Okay, good. She's giving up.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

We have an American who is trying to befriend tribes with Diet Coke. We'll talk to you about that.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, this is a great story.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

This involves one of those tribes that doesn't talk to anyone, circulate with contemporary culture. And I think they're probably really glad. Yes. Wait till they hear about the tariff. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee's at the Silac Insurance Company news desk. Jeff Oskar is across the way at the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. I'm Josh Arnold at the I Hate stephensinger.com Sidekick chair Pat Godwin's in the performance room. Hello. Putting together some tunes. There's Tom and Tom. We're joined by two very funny guests.

[Bob or Tom]

Where?

[Josh Arnold]

Right across the way there, sir.

[Bob or Tom]

You.

[Josh Arnold]

You know dang well who I'm talking.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, I feel like I'm, I'm watching Mod Squad. Yeah. One black, one white, one blonde. Remember that one?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Now we have Derek Stroop from Harvest Alabama. Hello.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob or Tom]

And we have originally from Beechwood, Ohio. Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

Shout out.

[Bob or Tom]

Comedian Al Jackson is here with us. These guys are both doing some gigs. I'll talk about those coming up. But right now it's time to check in once again with Christy Lee. I love this news story. This is about a. This is about one of those tribes that haven't been tainted by contemporary civilization.

[Derek Stroop]

A lost tribe.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Police in India have arrested an American man for allegedly trying to bring diet coke as a quote unquote offering for an isolated native tribe. According to the Times of India, Mr. Michelo Polakoff is accused of visiting the restricted island.

[Josh Arnold]

That's the American guy.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, that's the American guy.

[Bob or Tom]

Not every American is named Brent.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm against it.

[Derek Stroop]

That's the problem.

[Bob or Tom]

Tom.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

He visited the restricted island known as north sentinel island. And the BBC says all outsiders there are banned from traveling within three miles of the island. To protect the center, lease people from disease and preserve their way of life. The 24 year old social media influencer, Tom's favorite thing took a boat to the island, left a coconut and a can of diet coke on the shore, collected sand samples and recorded a video before returning to his boat.

[Josh Arnold]

I see.

[Derek Stroop]

I think they should have let him do it.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Mr. Polakoff remained offshore for an hour blowing a whistle in an attempt to attract the tribe's attention, but received no response.

[Josh Arnold]

He could have gotten a front full of arrows.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Last made international headlines. You'll recall back maybe in 2018 when they killed a 27 year old man. Do you remember this?

[Derek Stroop]

I remember he was a missionary.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yes. John Allen Cho who landed illegally on their beach.

[Bob or Tom]

They. Mind your own business, buddy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, I think.

[Bob or Tom]

And the. Well, first of all these people, everyone knows they're Pepsi, not Coke.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you got to know that.

[Bob or Tom]

You got to do your homework for God's sake.

[Josh Arnold]

That really is the difference between life and death when it comes to the soda tribes.

[Bob or Tom]

Soda tribes. I mean maybe they felt offended that Diet Coke. You calling us fat there, kimosabi?

[Josh Arnold]

Plus these days Coke Zero. Come on.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, absolutely. Did you know there's a Pepsi Zero? It's fantastic idea.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm a fan.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

I had it last night.

[Christy Lee]

I just want to know why can't the tribe from Ace mature pet detective come out here and find this guy Bumblebee tuna. Yes, man. The, the, the lead tribal guy, the Tommy Davidson character, you know, comes out with a spear and just hits him in the leg.

[Bob or Tom]

The thing.

[Christy Lee]

I hate the wor. I love that y'all remembered that. Listen, the part I hate about this the most may be the whistle. Like. Like they should have taken him out for just the whistle. Could you imagine living on a beautiful island never hearing anything except par parrots and. And coconuts dropping. And then you hear a whistle. I mean my gosh, we'd have roasted him over an open fire.

[Josh Arnold]

You would think you were under attack or something.

[Christy Lee]

A whistle is a terrible idea.

[Bob or Tom]

That was, that was always my favorite sort of cartoon Trope Trope. Where they have the missionaries in the big pot. I think that's kind of gone away. I think it's not politically incorrect, but it was always funny.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sure, sure, sure.

[Jeff Oskay]

A lot.

[Bob or Tom]

A lot of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, a lot of that. Xenophobia was funny.

[Al Jackson]

Casual racism was funny back then.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. They didn't remove it because it wasn't funny.

[Bob or Tom]

Right.

[Derek Stroop]

Save it for Thanksgiving.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I always like that, you know, when the. The one guy would look at the other guy and say something. Yeah, I guess, I guess.

[Derek Stroop]

But doesn't that say something about the world, though? That there is an uncontacted tribe and the first person they meet is a social media.

[Christy Lee]

Right, right.

[Bob or Tom]

And as you know, if they'd eaten them, I would have been happy. As soon as I hear that, I can't stand it. But did you see the thing? A couple years ago, they. God, I forget. I think they went somewhere on the Amazon or something and they gave them iPads and they, within an hour had discovered porno and they were all walking around showing each other. Yeah, I'm still totally serious.

[Derek Stroop]

Look, I totally believe that. I think that that's a good way to distract any tribe. It's just like as soon as you get the Internet within 30 minutes, you're gonna find porn. You're gonna. Whether you want it or not. And then that's all you want.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. The Wackaweekies are now known as the Alexis Texans.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, God. Maxi. I see. This is a classic story.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, what else you got, Christy?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Well, back to our bald men. If you missed that hunk earlier, I'm one of those. A falconer says a hawk that had been terrorizing bald men for several weeks was hormonal. The bird of prey repeatedly dive bombed tall bald men in flamested in the uk. Did he think they were eggs, forcing some to start wearing protective headgear to avoid injuries? What was going on on the hawk?

[Bob or Tom]

I mean, think about it from the air and you look down.

[Derek Stroop]

Well, what does he think it is? Maybe a turtle.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

The hawk.

[Derek Stroop]

Don't they eat turtles?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, I think Al may have nailed it.

[Josh Arnold]

More so than an egg.

[Bob or Tom]

First of all, what egg is the size of a head?

[Christy Lee]

I assume she had a bad date with a bald eagle. Come on. Come on, man. That's a zinger.

[Josh Arnold]

That's as good as anything we've.

[Christy Lee]

Come on.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm glad that they're not all good. I was worried that you were just too funny.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

The hawk was finally captured by resident Steve Harris and falconer Alan Greenhoff. Mr. Greenhoff told the BBC that the bird was likely hormonal now that it's the start of breeding season. The bird, which is believed to have escaped from captivity, attacked nearly 50 people during its reign of terror.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, so they weren't all bald people.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah. Confirmed postal deliveries have been disrupted by the bird as it continued to attack people.

[Bob or Tom]

They really were encouraging bald men to wear hats.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Because they look like eggs.

[Bob or Tom]

Yes. They look like dinosaur eggs, which.

[Derek Stroop]

This also sounds like a major excuse for any lazy. But, like, did you look for a job today, Josh? This is an eagle.

[Bob or Tom]

I'd just be glad to be viewed as a threat. Hey, yeah, I gotta watch out.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

An escape to miniature dachshund has survived for nearly a year and a half on a South Australian island.

[Bob or Tom]

This. This story has been floating around for several weeks now.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Georgia Gardner said she and her partner took their dog Valerie on a vacation to Kangaroo island back In November of 2023, when their beloved pet escaped from her pen at a campsite.

[Bob or Tom]

And by the way, they lucky they didn't go to Crocodile Island.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

I think much shorter story. Bingo, the dog would be lunch.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Apparently, Valerie was not seen again until a recent spate of sightings. Experts say they are amazed the dog has survived so long in the wild. Kangala Wildlife Rescue has volunteered its services towards Valerie's search, and they're still hoping that they can capture the little dachshund. Maybe she's having the time of her life.

[Jeff Oskay]

Yeah, it's probably some kangaroo's emotional support animal now. And puts it in the pouch, takes him around with him.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Little fella, you having a great time?

[Bob or Tom]

Think of all the stuff he's learned on his own.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I'd like to think they go over there, and there he's. She's hanging out inside of a pouch. That'd be pretty fun.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Like just inside of a kangaroo, Just cruising.

[Josh Arnold]

I like the thing she's befriended. A volleyball that washed up on shore. Or a tennis ball, in this case.

[Christy Lee]

I guess Valerie is quite the name for a dachshund. First of all, it's all, I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Want to know the owner.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, that's one of those names. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's like one. When you're looking for Valerie, you're gonna have to sell me that. That's a. Valerie. Did your sister run away? Like, what are you.

[Bob or Tom]

Because you think it would be some kind of German thing, right, Helga?

[Josh Arnold]

Why? Just because it's a dachshund?

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah. Well, just the name. I don't know.

[Bob or Tom]

I have. I have an interesting premise.

[Christy Lee]

Naming dogs after their breed.

[Bob or Tom]

I would like to.

[Christy Lee]

His name's Justin.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm about to. Wait till you see the magic that's going to happen here. I'm going to expand on a hack premise. Do you ever notice that they call dachshunds wiener dogs?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, sure.

[Bob or Tom]

But when you get a dachshund, they come in a litter of six, but they sell the harnesses in a pack of eight.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Don't you hate that?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, man.

[Al Jackson]

Wow.

[Derek Stroop]

That's for Thanksgiving.

[Bob or Tom]

Cerebral.

[Josh Arnold]

We're not smart enough.

[Jeff Oskay]

Coming eights. But you're close.

[Bob or Tom]

Don't the. What is it? Chihuahuas are almost always named. What? Pepe. Pepe. Don't, don't, don't. Dachshunds typically have a German name.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No, I have friends and tons of dachshunds. They've never had German names. He has a Stanley, a Sherman.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Sherman's kind of a German name.

[Al Jackson]

Sherman Tank.

[Jeff Oskay]

I really hate a dson.

[Derek Stroop]

Am I the only person that has an affinity for, like, a certain era of names? Like when you were talking about Valor. Valerie. I like that. It was like mid-80s. Valerie. Pam.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Trish.

[Josh Arnold]

Valerie. Family Prize. And Tracy.

[Derek Stroop]

Yes, absolutely. I like Tracy. I like those names. And you don't ever meet a baby name. Yeah, you never hear a baby.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Speaking of that. Oh, first of all.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, let me. Let me point this out. I'm sorry. Oh. This is the Bob and Tom Show. If you're just joining us, we're coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. We've got the Orange Insoles sports desk with Jeffrey sitting in today for the Chickster and the Silac Insurance news desk starring Christy Lee. And by the way, orange Insoles. The last day to win that TV, go to bob and tom.com contest. That 4K smart TV, courtesy of Orange Insoles is at stake. The drawing is coming up tonight. Go ahead, Christy.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Fewer parents are naming their baby girls Alexa.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sure.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Apparently due to Amazon's Alexa device. In fact, the name Alexa has suffered one of the sharpest declines lines of any popular name in recent years. Laura Wattenberg, the founder of the naming trends website namerlog, reports Alexa stands alone as a name that was steadily popular but pushed off the popularity cliff. According to the Social Security Administration, Alexa peaked at the 32nd most popular girl's name in 2015 before plummeting to rank last year at 6:03.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, also off that list, Siri and Bluetooth.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, off the list isn't Tom Cruise's kid named Siri.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah, Sir.

[Derek Stroop]

Siri.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Derek Stroop]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, she's got the fringe on top.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. But has it reached the numbers of like Adolf?

[Josh Arnold]

Adolf? No, no, it certainly hasn't.

[Bob or Tom]

You think?

[Josh Arnold]

You know, why doesn't anybody have a dachshund named Adolf?

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, you would think somebody does.

[Christy Lee]

There would nothing be more alarming than a German shepherd named Adolf. I would go, wow.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, I've always continued to teach him to goose. It's like those Lipizon or stallions teach the dog to goose step as one Paul. And that may be the most obscure reference in the history of the show. I've always contended this about hurricanes and there was actually a scientific news story about this. None of you guys believe believed me. But they, they found that the, the hurricanes that had the more scary names people took more seriously and the, the light names they wouldn't evacuate.

[Jeff Oskay]

No one's running from Hurricane Jeff. Yeah, we'll wait.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they didn't really learn from Katrina.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I mean if it's Hurricane Jeff with a G, I'm not moving.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, that guy can't do anything.

[Bob or Tom]

Actually, farther down in this article, it does mention the name Katrina, which also fell off the map after the hurricane. After Hurricane Katrina.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, of course.

[Bob or Tom]

And here we go. This is interesting. The names Karen and Chad are currently dropping off the map.

[Josh Arnold]

Is Chad a male Karen?

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I hadn't heard that.

[Bob or Tom]

It says this says Karen now has unfavorable cultural implications that emerged in recent years. Years? Karen was the third most popular name in America in 1965. Now it's at 823. According to the Social Security Administration.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Man.

[Bob or Tom]

Karen is now synonymous with someone who is seen as entitled and demanding. Typically a middle aged white woman representing several negative stereotypes. Chad has become the same as Karen. I did not know the Chad connect.

[Christy Lee]

No, I didn't.

[Derek Stroop]

I worked with a Karen on Daily Blast Live and she was a sweet woman from Canada and she was really hurt by that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Derek Stroop]

What happened it like because you think when it's not you, you just think oh, it's Karen. But like when that's your name, like she was really like. She did not like that at all. Yeah, I wouldn't have cared.

[Bob or Tom]

Katrina was 87th and then after the disaster it's now fallen out of the top 1,000.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, maybe here I'll say this over there. In like those Russian countries, Katrina's a still a popular name.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I bet.

[Derek Stroop]

Yeah, there's a bunch of Katrina.

[Bob or Tom]

Let's hit him with some hurricanes. Huh?

[Derek Stroop]

There we go.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

One of my childhood friends is named Katrina. Yeah, I, but that was, you know.

[Bob or Tom]

Did you call her.

[Josh Arnold]

That was like 80 years before the hurricane.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah, exactly.

[Bob or Tom]

Did you call her Katrina? Katrina Latrina.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

No, we never called her Katrina. You know, we're girls. Tom.

[Derek Stroop]

Are there males, hurricanes, Male named hurricanes?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Andrew.

[Bob or Tom]

They'Re all over the map.

[Derek Stroop]

No, I thought they were mostly women.

[Bob or Tom]

They're not anymore. They used to only be women and then they, they switch. They've also retired a bunch of them in the last couple months. There will never, there will never be another Andrew, for example.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Never be another Katrina.

[Bob or Tom]

They're in, they're in the hurricane ring of honor, if you will or dishonor, however you want to look at.

[Derek Stroop]

Bring back Chad that.

[Bob or Tom]

Then let's talk with our guests. We have that over there would be Al Jackson sitting next to Derek Stroop. Derek. Hey.

[Christy Lee]

Hey.

[Bob or Tom]

Middle aged fella. 40 years of age.

[Christy Lee]

40 years middle aged.

[Bob or Tom]

Technically, no, I guess not.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, I guess life expectancy around 80. I'm probably halfway there.

[Bob or Tom]

You think you're gonna make it to 80?

[Christy Lee]

Not a chance.

[Bob or Tom]

I know.

[Christy Lee]

Have a heart attack while I'm weed eating around my tomato plants.

[Bob or Tom]

You're a southern guy. Are you a smoker?

[Christy Lee]

I'm not a smoker. Smoker. I was raised by two people that smoke. I, I, you know, I, I tell people these days we should bring smoking back. We were better people when we did it, you know, and I mean, I believe that. And we smoked them at the wrong time. We smoked them when. I feel like the world was great when brick homes were $60,000, healthcare was affordable, you know, now we need Marlboros. Now, you know, this is what I tell. Here's my real. If you're going to take away mental institutes, you can't have $21 ticket cigarettes. You got to have four dollar Marlboros. If there's no nut houses, okay, you bring back the nut houses. We'll go, we'll go. Thirty dollar Marlboros. But you can't. We're fighting for our life out here. I mean, we got to give cigarettes back to people that need y'all. Remember back in the day, you'd see somebody outside of a gas station walking in small circles smoking a cigarette. You knew to give them a minute. They were trying not to go to jail. This is I, I believe wholeheartedly about, I'm not talking about bring them back to restaurants, but people go on a walk and look around. People need cigarettes. Not vape pins. You get vape pins, it happens too fast. You get to that cotton candy immediately. A Winston 100, you're gonna figure some stuff out. You know what I mean?

[Bob or Tom]

Bravo.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Hilarious.

[Derek Stroop]

So true.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, man. I. I mean, I. I believe that I don't smoke, but I've seen the man magic of cigarettes and. And people that haven't been around cigarettes, they have. They've never seen a cigarette save Thanksgiving. Because it happened. No. Y'all seen it happen, man. Aunt Barbara was about to say something that was going to turn that dining room upside down, but now she's out on the screen porch making a business decision. You know what I mean?

[Derek Stroop]

Somebody's out there talking to her.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Going, hey, Barbara, they don't mean that. Yes, they do. Tammy. That's this every year. She's always been like that. You know that.

[Derek Stroop]

That is. That is the realest thing.

[Bob or Tom]

That's great.

[Derek Stroop]

I saw. I saw. I saw a black woman in her yard. I was at a stoplight a couple months ago. I saw this black woman in her yard in a house dress. She was watering her grass and smoking a cig at like nine in the morning. And I was like, that is the most relaxed human being. I just stared at her in awe. All the things we worry about. And my wife and I got a text the next. She was just, like, out there smoking a cig, watering.

[Josh Arnold]

She's ready for anything the world has to offer.

[Derek Stroop]

That day, I was so jealous of her. I still think about her.

[Christy Lee]

That's a perfect visual.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Now, that was the voice of Derek Stroop. And Derek is on the road tomorrow night, the Ryman in Nashville, Tennessee. And I know Ryan Hamilton's on that show. And to call the guys, that's going to be killer.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Dustin Nickerson, Mia Jackson, There's a few others. Yeah, it's a hot show. Nate Land's putting it on, and it's part of the Nashville Comedy Festival, so the Ramen's a special place. Excited to be there.

[Bob or Tom]

[Bob or Tom]

You'll be there in person. Also, Syracuse, Des Moines, Springfield, coming up in the fall. So be on the lookout for Derek Stroop while I'm at it. Al. Jack Jackson is going to do a bunch of shows with Frank Caliendo and my son, Willie G. Who has his birthday tomorrow. You guys are going to be doing a bunch of shows starting in Louisville tomorrow.

[Bob or Tom]

Ten minutes.

[Jeff Oskay]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Over there we got Pat Godwin sitting in for Joshi. Christy Lee over at the SILAC news desk.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Hi, Jeff.

[Jeff Oskay]

We got Tom leading us maybe. Is he paying?

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

What are you doing over there?

[Jeff Oskay]

You want to tell us?

[Bob or Tom]

I'm sorry.

[Jeff Oskay]

Tell us about these two great comedians we have in house tonight.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, hi.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, it's good to be here. That's comedian Al Jackson right there. Al's on tour with Willie G. And Frank Caliendo starting tomorrow night in Louisville. We've got another very handsome man here in the studio, Pat Gonwin.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, thank you very much.

[Bob or Tom]

Oh, no, I'm sorry. I meant a Derek Stroop. Hey, not a bachelor for long, ladies.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Bob or Tom]

Your nuptials are coming up, what, May 10th.

[Christy Lee]

May 10th, I get married.

[Bob or Tom]

You're a man of a certain size. Is your wife a petite gal?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, she. She is. She is for sure. I see. When I go shopping for, you know, it's funny, I'll. I'll go out and try to buy her. And the people helping me shop for are always trying to bump up a size, and I'm like, no, she's a lot smaller than try. Quit trying to match us. Because I'll be going a small. And they'll go, we've got the same color in medium and large. So they're making very petite. They're making this very lucky guy. Like, I. I would like to think if you saw Alyssa, you'd be like, he must be pretty funny, you know, because she's. She's a lot better looking than I am.

[Bob or Tom]

I see. Oh, now, are you a golfer?

[Christy Lee]

Man, I love golf.

[Bob or Tom]

Because you got the big ping.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

On your hat. I mean, that is a big logo.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. No, I love. I love to golf. I mean, Al, probably. You golfer?

[Derek Stroop]

I'm not.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I was gonna say Denver, Colorado, is such a great golfing city. Golfing state. I fell back in love with golf when I lived there for. For 10 years. But now in New York City, it's gone again. Not really any golf to be had. But I do love golf. Yeah.

[Bob or Tom]

Yeah. Kind of tough to play in New York.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I mean, there's like, one course in Queens, Forest Hills, kind of buried out there. It's really. It's really tough. But I'm. I'm on the road. You know, my schedule, as you can see, it's packed. I'm on the road all the time, so I try to squeeze it in. Unfortunately, this weekend in Indianapolis, it rained for 41 hours straight, so there was no golf to be had this weekend.

[Bob or Tom]

So did you go to one of those places where you can hit the ball off the fourth floor, top golf? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Get you some $30 nachos. And doesn't that.

[Bob or Tom]

Doesn't that kind of spoil you? Because, well, I would have had a better shot if this tee box on the regular course were 70ft off the ground.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, this is really. I think they just made it. You know, for the social aspect, I like the old school driving ranges, you know, you know, where it's just an open field and like a little shack and they've got, like a bag of potato chips. That's. That's real therapy out there. It's just you and your slice.

[Jeff Oskay]

I used to drive the golf cart that picked up the balls at the range across, and we would get some big boy like him just aiming directly at the heart. And it just echoes those.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. Always trying to hit the guy picking up the balls out there. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

Isn't it hard to golf with you don't drive? How do you carry?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no, I just. I mean, I just Uber and Lyft. Actually, that's the best part of golfing Christie, is I get to drive the golf cart. Yeah, I get excited. I drive. My buddies at golf with me know, I drive the golf cart because this is the only place where I drive.

[Bob or Tom]

You don't drive. You don't drive automobiles?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, no, no.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, that's. That's. That's very interesting. But yeah, I think that the topgolf thing is cool, though, because there is a nice. You can hang out and people that don't really play.

[Progressive Insurance Representative]

A lot of fun. A lot of games you can play.

[Bob or Tom]

I'm also a huge fan of miniature golf.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Miniature.

[Bob or Tom]

Love mini golf.

[Christy Lee]

Do you really?

[Bob or Tom]

I love mini golf. Especially like the Pirates Cove, where they've got the thing and the windmill.

[Christy Lee]

I feel like when I do that with the family, I'm really taking one for the team. Yeah, I don't let them know, but I. I go. I'm a good person, man. And. And I do not enjoy. Enjoy it.

[Jeff Oskay]

Do you bring your own putter?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't bring that. I like to think that y'all got a better read on me than that. I don't bring my own putter. I mean, miniature golf's. All right. I'll be on here. I'll shoot y'all straight.

[Josh Arnold]

When you.

[Christy Lee]

When I used to still drink, miniature golf was more fun. Trying to get the ball through the windmill when you're holding a drink is more fun than just kind of taking it head on and going, what a challenging layout.

[Derek Stroop]

I'm sure you use those words, challenging.

[Bob or Tom]

Well, once again, Derek Stroop has a comedy album out there called Eating Dinner Twice. Keep your eye open for that. And also on tour, and you got a big show coming up tomorrow night in Nashville, Tennessee with Ryan Hamilton, one of my favorites. Yeah, Ryan the mad Mormon.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Met, met him at the Comedy Cellar. He's so funny. I love.

[Bob or Tom]

And then lots of shows coming up including Fresno, Fort Myers, Pensacola, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Des Moines, et cetera, et cetera. Once again, Al on the road with Willie and Frank Caliendo. Lots of dates on the way. Thanks so much for joining us. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
