Chick McGee
It's the bob and tom show.
Pat Godwin
Hi, I'm Bob Dylan, and this is my breakfast commercial. Now I'm going to sing for you. When the wind was blowing like a rolling tambourine on that big brass bend My blue heels were wandering and heaven's door was knocking around and standing up in blue well, how does it feel? The times are changing. Tune. You know, my singing was getting a little hard to understand. That's when I discovered the breathe, all right. Nasal strip. You know, just like the ones that all the football players wear. I can breathe better and just listen to me sing. Here, let me put this thing on.
Chick McGee
The wind was blowing like a big ass bed My food dealers were wondering Door was knocking and I was tangled up in blue how does it feel when times are a change
Pat Godwin
and not only do I sing better, listen to my harmonica playing. And now listen. I can even play the guitar better, too.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Pat Godwin
All thanks to breathe.
Ace Cosby
All right.
Pat Godwin
Nasal strips. So go to your drugstore and knock, knock, knock on the door Tell him Bobby's in you the answer, my friend was blowing in the wind. I just couldn't smell it till now. Oh, my breathe.
Christy Lee
All right.
Pat Godwin
Thing just fell off. It got stuck on this damn harmonica holder. For you ladies, there's a breathe, all right that's made just for woman It'll make you bre just like a little girl Everybod and must get a breath all right today.
Chick McGee
Good morning, good morning, good morning and good morning to you. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, it's the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the news desk, there's Pat Godwin.
Ace Cosby
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Josh. Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
Pat and Josh look like they're gonna shimmy. Shimmy right up a tree at some point.
Tom Griswold
Oh, they got their lumberjack on coffee
Chick McGee
out there in the great woods. There's Ace Cosby.
Josh Arnold
Almost like, I don't wear one of these every day.
Chick McGee
I'm Chick McGee.
Tom Griswold
You know who would survive. I'm so sorry. Did I interrupt your introduction?
Chick McGee
No, no, no, go ahead.
Tom Griswold
Because you threw me. When I looked up and I saw that Mr. Godwin.
Chick McGee
And Josh.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Josh traditionally does wear. He looks like he's, you know, about to do a little lumberjacking, but.
Ace Cosby
Pat, this is Dylan in 63.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I see. Okay.
Chick McGee
Well, we just heard a little bit about it before. I'll say it again. The best Dylan impersonation out there right now is Pat.
Tom Griswold
Thank you.
Chick McGee
You're welcome.
Tom Griswold
Well, we just had a special request for the. Breathe. All right. Strip. That. Not only did it improve Bob singing, but it improved his harmonica playing and guitar playing. That's going out to Kent. He. He is in a folk band.
Chick McGee
You know how I like the name, the word hat at the end of a joke? I. I apply that same value to the name Kent. I don't know why. It makes me laugh.
Tom Griswold
That was the brand of cigarette that my aunt smoked.
Christy Lee
Kent.
Tom Griswold
I don't know if they still make those. I. I don't know. I haven't really delved into the history of cigarettes I mentioned. There are a few that probably been. Have gone away with smoking diminishing across this great country.
Chick McGee
I've never tried to smoke. I've never been curious about it. What do you base your. Well, I'll start smoking that cigarette.
Tom Griswold
That's a fair question.
Chick McGee
I don't.
Christy Lee
You know, peer pressure.
Chick McGee
The taste. Is there a taste? Don't they all?
Tom Griswold
But, I mean, how does. How does a Pepsi person become a Coke person? Become a Dr. Pepper? I guess over time. You.
Chick McGee
I guess.
Tom Griswold
Have you ever sat down and consciously said, okay, I'm gonna try all these colas and see which one I really do like?
Josh Arnold
No.
Chick McGee
I don't know why. I'm a Diet Pepsi guy. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Now, was your. Was that because your family was a Pepsi family?
Chick McGee
My dad was very much a Pepsi drinker. Yes. Didn't have Diet Pepsi when I was boy.
Tom Griswold
They had diet, right.
Chick McGee
Diet, right. Cola.
Tom Griswold
That was awful.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Christy Lee
No, it wasn't.
Chick McGee
And then.
Christy Lee
Taz, it wasn't that bad.
Tom Griswold
Oh, God.
Christy Lee
It was better than Tab.
Tom Griswold
Tab was but missing on my aunt who smoked cancer. Maybe there's a tie in here. She drank. Oh, my God.
Chick McGee
You sound like someone who was a kidnapped. It wasn't that bad.
Christy Lee
It wasn't. I was a fat kid. I drank a lot of Diet.
Tom Griswold
Right, Josh? Were you a Pepsi? Coke family, Generic family.
Josh Arnold
We're a Coke. Coke family.
Chick McGee
No kidding.
Christy Lee
All right, we were a Coke family, but I would sneak in diet raids.
Tom Griswold
You'd sneak in Diet?
Christy Lee
Yeah, because my stepdad's brother worked for Coke. So it was really important that we always had Coke and Sprite. Coke and Sprite.
Chick McGee
Did you pour the Coke out and pour dye right into the can?
Christy Lee
No, I would just leave them in my room under my bed.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
But we did determine that a Coke float is a delight.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick McGee
I've never had a float.
Tom Griswold
Vanilla ice cream.
Christy Lee
What?
Chick McGee
Never had a float of any kind. Oh, really? I don't know why. I just never gotten around to it.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'll tell you what. This is not the plan, but it is now. We had a news story yesterday about the largest cocaine bust in European history. Apparently, an entire boat, a massive ship with huge bales of cocaine ahoy. Was boarded by Spanish authorities.
Christy Lee
Sure was.
Tom Griswold
You talk about a Coke float. This was tons of floating cocaine.
Christy Lee
35 to 40 tons. 20 people arrested. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And apparently not even hidden, I guess just huge. They said huge bales of cocaine. So there was, in fact, coke on the boat. And this was just off the. Was it the Seychelles Islands? Is that where it was? Canary Island. Sorry. And Pat, I know that you have a tribute to floating cocaine and vessels full of cocaine. Oh, he's right at it.
Ace Cosby
Yeah, Cooking the boat Spanish edition Early in the morning. Sing along. Who's ready now?
Tom Griswold
Does this have different lyrics? Do we have to learn some Spanish here?
Chick McGee
A little bit.
Ace Cosby
Coke in the boat.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Is en el barco. You get the R a little, and that's all you need to know.
Tom Griswold
So el barco means the boat.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay. In the boat piloted by dogs El Barco. Here we go.
Ace Cosby
Roof.
Pat Godwin
Roof.
Ace Cosby
So we like to know where Estella. We like to know where estala. There's Coconut Barco.
Chick McGee
Look, Coconut Barco.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Civil guards watching you off the coast of Espanol Drug bunks dragged with cocaine in the hall la policia found drugs in eyeless canaries all these guns makes these waters scary yeah, there's Coconut Barco so please explain Someone has to answer for La cocaina yeah, we'd like to know where Estella Cocaina yeah, we'd like to know where esta la cocaina there's 1, 2, 3, 4.
Chick McGee
Coconut bar.
Ace Cosby
Coconut barnacle.
Chick McGee
Hey, thank you.
Tom Griswold
Very much Coke float. You've never had a Coke float?
Christy Lee
The thing is, you have to use real Pepsi, not diet Pepsi.
Chick McGee
I have not had any sort of float at all. No.
Tom Griswold
A root beer, vanilla ice cream and float beer.
Christy Lee
Then you mix it all together and drink it like milk.
Tom Griswold
Oh, really?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Delightful.
Chick McGee
Didn't Laverne on. Laverne is surely like milk and Pepsi. Wasn't that her drink?
Christy Lee
Yeah, I think you're right.
Chick McGee
Isn't that right?
Tom Griswold
That's interesting.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Can't imagine. Right.
Chick McGee
Coming up, they didn't have. They had less beverages in the 50s, I think.
Tom Griswold
Coming up on today's show, we have some exciting stuff, including a. We have a world record, of course. We have a survey from the stores known as the Guitar Center. Survey says great store. They have guitars, drums, etc. Etc.
Chick McGee
Poorest members of bands.
Tom Griswold
No. Most commonly played guitar licks, if you will. Riffs played by folks trying out guitars, customers. And of course, the. The old. The trope is no, no, Stairway, man. Don't play Stairway to Heaven to try out a guitar. But Pat, you were just in a
Ace Cosby
guitar center a couple nights ago. Yeah, it's, it's. It can be quite annoying in there. Yeah, it's loud.
Tom Griswold
And what is your go to?
Ace Cosby
Oh, me over the Hills. And I mean, I'll be honest with you, just a full G chord. Because I can hear everything about that guitar in one chord with its open strings.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Ace Cosby
Yeah. No, I never play this.
Chick McGee
Could I play one chord? Could we trouble you for a G chord right now?
Ace Cosby
Oh, this is early in the morning.
Chick McGee
Okay. All right. Yes, sir.
Ace Cosby
Here's what I play when I go in. Okay, I'll have this one.
Chick McGee
All right, I'll take this one.
Tom Griswold
Now. Does this. Doesn't a song. Is there a song that begins with that chord?
Ace Cosby
Oh, that's what people play the most. Second most.
Tom Griswold
What is that? Over the Hills. Little Led Zeppelin.
Ace Cosby
Then of course, your Wonder Wall capoed
Tom Griswold
up second fret, though, and that wasn't on there. Was that.
Ace Cosby
Oh, that's on the top 10.
Tom Griswold
Oh, it is, absolutely. Oh, I didn't see. Okay.
Chick McGee
Huh.
Tom Griswold
I know that a couple of the ones that are missing that I thought would be there for sure. I know the Deep Purple Smoke in the Water is there.
Ace Cosby
Yeah, I've never actually heard that. I've heard Eruption a lot, though. The Eddie Van Halen song.
Christy Lee
I think the Deep Purple song is more of a bass. Like, if you pick up a bass, the first thing you do is play that.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Chick McGee
What about like Honey By Bobby Goldsberg. Is that on there?
Josh Arnold
Doubt it.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Does that have a famous guitar?
Chick McGee
Not that I remember, but it's a damn fine song.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I don't dispute that.
Chick McGee
All right. He loses his wife, aware of the storyline, and they planted the tree.
Tom Griswold
Very nice.
Chick McGee
And then she got cancer.
Tom Griswold
Okay, could we move on? Also coming up today, we have an opportunity. I'm very excited about this. We have an opportunity to legitimately say two words you can't say on the radio.
Chick McGee
Booty call.
Tom Griswold
No, no. I mean, actual words that normally would not be allowed, but there is a certain context in which they are permissible and we're going to find out what
Christy Lee
that is or I'll lose my job. One of the two.
Pat Godwin
No, no, no.
Tom Griswold
These are perfectly valid. I did a little bit of research and these are legitimate ways to use words. In fact, it's actually the same word that comes up twice. And you'll see why. It's very, very appropriate.
Chick McGee
Nothing could go wrong with this.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Oh, I'm very excited about it now. I'm also. We had. We never got to the story yesterday about this poor lady who can't burp.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
This is a bizarre story. She has an affliction. No burping.
Chick McGee
Which would you rather be afflicted with? No burping or no farting? I think farting would be more painful, probably. Wouldn't you think?
Josh Arnold
It feels like it affects more.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I don't burp that much.
Tom Griswold
The gas has to come out somewhere.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
And in the case of this lady with the no burping, it, in fact came out the other way. I mean, the system is. No, it's exits.
Chick McGee
I don't think it. I don't think it works that way.
Tom Griswold
No, it did for her.
Chick McGee
I don't think a burp can come out your butt.
Tom Griswold
Well, don't talk about it.
Chick McGee
I mean, it's all tied together. But I don't think that.
Tom Griswold
And that's what happened to her. According to the physicians that were attending.
Chick McGee
You were one of those kids who started the. The thinking that a burp is a smart fart that took the elevator, right?
Tom Griswold
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Chick McGee
I bet you were.
Tom Griswold
But we did have the guy that could do the entire Alphabet while burping. Didn't every school have that kid?
Chick McGee
I can burp on command, but I can't do that. I can't do the Alphabet.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we had the guy that could do the whole A, A to Z. What a talent.
Chick McGee
Couldn't he fart on command, too? No, didn't There was a guy who took air in.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, sure. Le Petomain, the famous French.
Chick McGee
He took air in back there and could.
Tom Griswold
He was a. That's a, that's a famous.
Christy Lee
Took air in from his butt and farted out.
Tom Griswold
He was a. That's a famous act in France. Many, many years.
Christy Lee
I remember that.
Chick McGee
But this was explained. Jerry Lewis probably.
Tom Griswold
No, that's all on the way. Also, we have AI once again in the news. This time people are apparently creating an AI version of their ex so they can still talk to her as. As mental illness continues to plague culture. Right now, I want to say hello to my buddy, Steven Singer. As you know, Mother's Day getting closer and closer by the minute. Mother's Day, of course, is this Sunday. And Steven Singer has all kinds of things to help you out for Mother's Day. But the clock still ticking real tight. He's got the famous sunrise rose, just 89 bucks. It's a beautiful 24 karat gold dipped rose and it has the. Some beautiful colors on it. It's of course a real rose dipped in gold. It's got kind of some sparkling blues on the petals and kind of fades into a golden yellow like a sunrise. Because of all the great moms getting up early and being great moms. Stephen also has of course, great bracelets like the At Last bracelet, the At Last earrings. He's also got the best guarantee in the business and free shipping. Free shipping. However, it's gotten to the point where you may have to do expedited shipping. And this is kind of your Last chance. By 2:00 clock Eastern Time today, you can opt to do expedited shipping. Ordinarily the shipping is free, but a little bit of a fee may be in order today just to get it to you on time. So celebrate all those great moms out there and surprise them with something nice from Steven Singer Jewelers. You can visit and check out the inventory at I hate stevensinger dot com. That's I hate stevensinger dotcom. He's a great guy. He's got a nice rescue dog named Buddy. And tell him the Bob and Tom show sent you, won't you? A lot of great stuff for moms out there. We'll be telling you about Mother's Day stuff on the way today. And also we have a really interesting survey about first dates and how far you're willing to go distance wise. Oh, on a first date, not on the first date. Now that'd be a different survey.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
How far you're willing to go. I bet that would skew differently for the ladies than the gents.
Christy Lee
Oh, I'm sure.
Tom Griswold
How far you're, how far you're willing to go on the first. Now the third date, we know by the law in what, how many states?
Christy Lee
I think all of them.
Tom Griswold
You have to give it up on the third date. Okay, good.
Christy Lee
You have to.
Tom Griswold

Chick McGee
Bob and Top show. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee is at the news desk. Howdy, howdy do. There's Pat Godwin.
Ace Cosby
Hello, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hello, There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
At the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair, there's Ace Cosby. Hello, I am Chick Magee. And time now for emails from our listeners brought to you by sleep number. It's the everything is on sale Memorial Day event from sleep number. Every bed and every base is on sale for personalized comfort night after night only at a sleep number store or sleepnumber.com. what do you have, Tom?
Tom Griswold
We've been talking a little bit about shop class and, and kiln day in art class. We all experienced this and I hope schools are still doing and some do shop class, some don't, which is sad.
Christy Lee
But now it's in the vocational part of the school like you have to
Tom Griswold
especially it's nice to have some, some skills. I took woodworking for several years. There's metal shop, of course, but also there we did have a kiln. That's right.
Chick McGee
You are a woodworker. You announced that on the show one time.
Tom Griswold
We did. But the kiln was if anything in the entire school was dangerous. I think it might have been the lathes and the saws, but the kiln was like a practically police taped off. You couldn't get near it. And we discussed making, I believe, Josh, you made an ashtray. Yeah, an ashtray. Nice. Nice. This comes to us.
Chick McGee
I regret not taking shop class. I Wish I had done that. I did not. It was available, Mr. Geier. It was available. I did.
Ace Cosby
You haven't.
Chick McGee
I just didn't take it.
Josh Arnold
Did you have mechanics class?
Chick McGee
We had it, but I never did not take it.
Christy Lee
Yeah, called Auto shop, I think.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, we didn't have that.
Chick McGee
They had. Yeah, they had like a garage out there. People would pull in there, pull in their cars and.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well, there are some places where they essentially take an old car and turn it into a beautiful car and then they sell it to somebody. That's a great year of fun stuff.
Chick McGee
Is there a high school anywhere in the country that offers funereal services?
Josh Arnold
What a high school.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh, wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
Wow. What a good question.
Chick McGee
You know, introductory to embalming and.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
I mean, it's a good business. It's a nothing but a growth business. Am I right? Well, you're aren't your nieces or nephews?
Christy Lee
My niece was. Yeah. My niece is my first cousin.
Chick McGee
There you go.
Tom Griswold
I'll just move forward here.
Christy Lee
My high school had a fight. A flight simulator. I got to do that.
Chick McGee
What?
Christy Lee
Yeah, I was in aerospace. That was my track.
Tom Griswold
That's cool.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it was really cool.
Tom Griswold
How old do you have to be to take flying lessons?
Christy Lee
I don't know. I think pretty. You can do it pretty young.
Chick McGee
Like 35.
Tom Griswold
So that's interesting.
Christy Lee
No, you really can do it pretty young. I know some of my friends kids have already gotten licensed and we get
Chick McGee
a story every now and then about an 18 year old girl who flew around the world.
Tom Griswold
That's cool. But in this case, this is a nice letter from J.D. he said, In 1973, I made my mom a ceramic ashtray. She used it all the way until her death at age 85.
Chick McGee
Well, that's a nice memory.
Tom Griswold
Not have read this one like he
Christy Lee
contributed to his mother's day.
Tom Griswold
JD still has the ashtray we circled
Chick McGee
right back to Funereal Services.
Tom Griswold
Thank you for taking the time. Time to write. I, I guess the, the, the slant we took on this was. You probably don't see them making ashtrays in art class anymore.
Christy Lee
Probably not.
Tom Griswold
I'm guessing. But that leads to another letter.
Christy Lee
I never got to take art class. I was asked to leave.
Tom Griswold
What?
Christy Lee
Did you hear that story?
Ace Cosby
She made a crack pipe?
Christy Lee
No, no, no, no, no. Our art department was overfilled. And the teacher looked at me and said, you know, I really don't think you're gonna get much out of this. You might want to take an extra lit class. So I took. Oh, a Literature class.
Tom Griswold
You should be able to take both. This comes to us.
Chick McGee
I got kicked out of typing class for being a smart aleck. Can you imagine?
Tom Griswold
And what'd you do? Type? I want to go take bodies and something.
Chick McGee
Something about a sleeping dog and a fox jumping period.
Tom Griswold
This comes to us from Robbie. He listens to the show on Spotify. Robbie, he goes. My art teacher was Mrs. Pfister. Oh, this is. By the way, Robbie lives in Missouri. I don't believe I would make clay pipes in art class. They were none the wiser. My stoner friends loved me. Also the shop teacher, Mr. Dozier.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
I would make high quality wood consoles. However, they had false bottoms where I could put my quote unquote stash. Well, thank you.
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Robbie. It's interesting. We were talking about in the book Going all the Way, Dan Wakefield, his character makes a stand for books that he can be in his bed and prop up books and. Or girly magazines and they're none the wiser, you see.
Chick McGee
So he could use girly magazines.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think probably you're in the 50s. What were the girly magazines? There were those. Was it Swank or.
Chick McGee
There are a lot of offshoots. Yeah. Playboy was ahead of its time right when it came out there.
Christy Lee
What year did they come out?
Chick McGee
There weren't any high class. I want. I want to say 59 or something like.
Tom Griswold
But I think the magazines were really dirty back then.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I think that was. That was.
Christy Lee
But in any detective magazines. Kind of dirty.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
Scantily clad women.
Christy Lee
Right.
Chick McGee
Being threatened.
Tom Griswold
Well, we. We have coming up a very unusual story involving the Secret Service and what? Yeah, you'll it. I don't want to give it away, but it involves a secret service guy that had an issue. Apparently he's. He's in custody.
Chick McGee
This letter speaks to you, Tom, and shop class. Hello, Bob, at Top Show. What do you think Tom's old shop teacher, Mr. Woodall.
Tom Griswold
Woodall.
Chick McGee
Would give for a grade on the doghouse he built with his children?
Tom Griswold
A great question. The answer would be probably a D. That is not my finest work.
Chick McGee
And this is Tom the truck driver. He said, I love the show and it doesn't seem like a very hostile work environment at all. There that goes. Sarcasm.
Tom Griswold
This is from Mr. Rigby in Salt Lake City, Utah. He goes shop class. My teacher had a talent. If he caught you messing around, he would heave a block of wood across the room. He was capable of throwing two blocks at the same time and often could hit both Kids.
Christy Lee
Oh, my goodness.
Tom Griswold
Sometimes in the head.
Chick McGee
Damn.
Tom Griswold
The last sentence reads, great times. God, I had forgotten about that. That is exact. Mr. Whitell, would he. If you were screwing around, he would heave a chunk of wood at you and he would not go for that. Yeah, but you know something? We deserved it.
Chick McGee
I think we'd be a different country. We've not not gotten rid of corporal punishment. Am I right on this? Yeah. I got wax in school. Two wax.
Tom Griswold
Three, apparently. Apparently not enough. Back to you. You have some over there.
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show. I've noticed that Tom is no longer flamboyantly waving and slurping on four to six wooden stirring sticks at any point during the show. He seems to be preoccupied with his new wedding band.
Tom Griswold
Oh, it's both. Yeah.
Chick McGee
You often talk about the wedding band tattoo. Not sure that's the route Tom should take, but he could invest in a sharpie and try it out.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I spin this thing around.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you're not used to it.
Tom Griswold
Not used to it.
Chick McGee
That's Kim in Georgia.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but I still have my stirring sticks. Now I have a stirring paddles and stirring sticks.
Chick McGee
By the way, it is really something to see in person when Tom puts wooden stirring sticks in his mouth and sucks the liquid off of him. It's really something.
Tom Griswold
I asked a question yesterday. If you're a cop and you pull somebody over, you have to tell them you're a cop. That was not the question. If you see certain bumper stickers, does it bias you in any way? Because if I were a police officer, I would immediately. If I saw certain bumper stickers that tickets coming no matter what. Okay, this is anonymous police officer in a large midwestern state. He goes. One of my favorite pastimes when it comes to bumper stickers. If I see a guy with the bumper sticker that says only gay cops pull me over, I make a point to be as flamboyant as possible as I give them their ticket.
Josh Arnold
I haven't seen that bumper sticker.
Chick McGee
I haven't either.
Josh Arnold
That's just asking for it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no kidding. That is.
Chick McGee
That's.
Tom Griswold
That's wrong in about six ways.
Chick McGee
I might like to invest in a couple of those, see what happens.
Tom Griswold
Oh, God. As Josh pointed out. What your. What is your favorite. The. What is that one? The peace. What is.
Ace Cosby
Whatever.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
The coexist. Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
As they run you off the road, they cut you off.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
And isn't there one. It's not a bumper sticker, but it's a metal actual attachment to the. It's got a fish with legs or something.
Tom Griswold
There's a whole bunch of variations on the fish thing.
Chick McGee
Like Darwinism, I guess. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And there is a. Obviously, we've all seen the car that has 30 bumper stickers on it. They. And then they all just get erased in my head. You can't. You can't. You can't read all of them. Well, you got one over there, Christy?
Christy Lee
I do, yes. This is from Mick in Detroit Metro Detroit. We were talking yesterday about the times to mow your lawn. He said, I live in a typical suburban subdivision. I'm not sure what the local laws are, but my personal rule, weekday mowing starts anytime after 9. Saturday mowing anytime after 10am Sunday, no mowing.
Chick McGee
That's a good. That's a good rule. Sunday should be no mowing.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
At all. It's the Lord's day.
Christy Lee
Day of rest.
Tom Griswold
Not in my neighborhood.
Chick McGee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
There are. Cruise there all the time and they're.
Christy Lee
Cruise there all the time. That's what I was gonna say, first of all.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
My next door neighbor does his own lawn.
Chick McGee
What kind of. What kind of crews are in your neighborhood? Although.
Tom Griswold
Like.
Chick McGee
Like lighting the power?
Tom Griswold
No, no. They have a lawnmower. Do you mow your own lawn?
Chick McGee
I do not. No.
Christy Lee
My husband does.
Chick McGee
Goodness, no.
Christy Lee
He mows our lawn.
Tom Griswold
And Josh, you do?
Josh Arnold
You.
Tom Griswold
You do?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You got the electric.
Josh Arnold
I'll never not mow my own lawn.
Christy Lee
Andy likes it.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I've been looking at that. That electric lawnmower, maybe to do some trimming and it's a gadget. I'm intrigued. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I see. Yeah. No, I. Those hours are way too late.
Christy Lee
Late?
Chick McGee
No.
Christy Lee
People sleep in on the.
Tom Griswold
No, you can start mowing grass at
Christy Lee
7:30 on a weekday.
Josh Arnold
Sure.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Christy Lee
Glad you don't live in my neighborhood.
Chick McGee
If you start mowing grass at 7:30 in the morning, I'm going to circulate a petition.
Tom Griswold
Well, I, I don't.
Chick McGee
But it'd be okay if somebody got out and mowed the grass 7:30 and woke you up.
Tom Griswold
I'm up.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Pat you.
Ace Cosby
Please don't mow your grass on my day off because I'm a relaxer. Drinking beer and watching golf. I'm gonna jam out the Sting and that song about Nabokov. So please don't mow your grass on my day off.
Chick McGee
Don't stand. Don't stand.
Ace Cosby
You can mow your grass when I'm working on a Monday, but don't dare cut your lawn on a Sunday. That's my listening to music and having fun day. And like the Bangles said, I don't have to run day. I'm gonna day drink on my day off. I'll make you a cocktail too, but it might be a Molotov. I wanna spend the day carefree. So don't stand. So, so don't stand. So don't stand so close to me. So please don't mow your grass or I'm gonna have to kick your ass. Please don't mow your grass. My day off.
Tom Griswold
Oh, thank you, Pat.
Ace Cosby
You're welcome.
Tom Griswold
You know, did you ever have the.
Chick McGee
There are teams of men at my point, at some point in my neighborhood during the week that are. Everybody gets their lawnmower. It seems like the same time.
Christy Lee
Oh, really on.
Chick McGee
So I don't know why I was.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they had huge, huge trucks with.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Two or three really nice.
Chick McGee
The zero turn.
Tom Griswold
Zero turn. And those things, they scare me because there'll be one. You're driving long and there's a guy coming right for the. Oh, my God, I'm gonna hit him. And then he turned. It's got the zero turn.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
That's. Those are really cool. What if you sneeze, though, right when you're at the road's edge? Are you gonna.
Chick McGee
Okay, that could happen.
Christy Lee
I've never been on one.
Tom Griswold
You've mentioned this before and I don't know if you ever had them. We were talking about bumper stickers. Have. Have you ever had or seen the ass, gas or grass bumper sticker?
Chick McGee
I've never seen it. Personally. I think my dad. The first time I heard that about that saying. My dad said it.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it was a saying in the 70s.
Chick McGee
It was a long time.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah, I guess it was. If you're a hitchhiker.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Which you don't see much anymore.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's true.
Chick McGee
You know, I hitchhiked once.
Christy Lee
Thank God for Uber.
Chick McGee
I bailed hay one morning in July in central Ohio and I thought I was going to die. So I quit at lunch and hitchhiked home. And I'm not making any of this up. A very nice gentleman hairdresser picked me up.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
And we had a lovely time. He took me right to my door. Tom. He was very interested in where I live.
Christy Lee
I bet it was nice that he
Chick McGee
would engage me in a conversation. I'd had an especially rough morning.
Tom Griswold
And you. But that was. That was the last time you hitchhiked.
Chick McGee
He could tell. Yes, but certainly not by choice. I. I would have been. I'm still open to hitchhiking. You don't know. Maybe it's me on the side of the road. Hitchhiker. Got my thumb out.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Pretty scary.
Chick McGee
The Leather Express.
Tom Griswold
Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?
Chick McGee
No, I don't think I would either. I'm. I don't know. I might. You know if she's hot. No. No, I don't think I'd like the
Tom Griswold
same attitude that guy had.
Chick McGee
Right.
Tom Griswold
Because you were kind of a hot kid.
Chick McGee
Oh, he's hot.
Tom Griswold
You were kind of pudgy. Is there. Is there a name for that? In that. In that sphere?
Chick McGee
Big for my bay. Big for my age. I don't know, Maybe a junior porker. I don't know. Something like that. Maybe a cub. A cub? Yeah. Instead of a bear. A cub.
Tom Griswold
I blame myself.
Chick McGee
A cubby bear. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I. That ass, gas or grass thing was sort of a. I don't know, like a. A trope. I don't know. But I. I have never actually seen the bumper sticker. No.
Chick McGee
Isn't it in a song?
Ace Cosby
Is it. It's some old song.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I want to say, but I don't think that's.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
What I think. So maybe I'll.
Tom Griswold
We'll have to. We'll have to find out.
Chick McGee
Maybe not. I don't know.
Ace Cosby
Commander Cody or something.
Tom Griswold
Maybe. Well, he's got. Commander Cody has. I'm down to seeds and stems again blues.
Chick McGee
Oh, man. I tell you, when it comes to lyrics, Commander. It begins and ends with Commander Cody.
Tom Griswold
Billy C. Farlow.
Chick McGee
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette.
Christy Lee
I'm not familiar with.
Tom Griswold
That's a classic song.
Chick McGee
You're an idiot.
Christy Lee
That one.
Tom Griswold
That's a great song.
Chick McGee
Oh, stop.
Tom Griswold
And hot rod mean that Hot Rod Lincoln.
Christy Lee
Oh, well, that's his. My dad loved that song.
Tom Griswold
Those are. Those are rem. Those are covers by Commander Cody. Those are classic songs from the world of western swing. Now coming up in sports, you want to give me a teaser over there?
Chick McGee
NBA playoffs continue and yes, much like the first pitch in baseball, the NBA playoffs, if the 76ers are involved, Joel Embiid will be injured. And that's what happened last night. He did not play. We'll check in with Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks. He had quite a good evening last. Last night. NHL playoffs continue and Kentucky Derby winner has made a big time announcement. I'll give you a hint. There will be no triple crown winner this year. There you go.
Tom Griswold
It's becoming a thing.
Chick McGee
People are expressing outrage.
Tom Griswold
Apparently the.
Christy Lee
We want your horse to be healthy.
Tom Griswold
Apparently the. The notion is they're gonna prop, they're gonna try to move the Preakness.
Christy Lee
That's what I was gonna say.
Chick McGee
That's the problem.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're gonna probably go. The idea ideally among some is that they would do the Derby, then they would do the Belmont, then they would put the Preakness. LAUGHTER that so because this too close together. I forget how many times three or four in the last decade have done this, have not run going for the Triple Crown, so in it. So we'll talk about that a little bit. We've got a world record, of course, many world records.
Chick McGee
This one world world record has, like, we are aware of this, like 20 world records. I don't think we can abide that.
Tom Griswold
And then we will be having a word that you ordinarily can't say on the radio. We're going to be allowed to say twice today, which I'm very excited about right now. I want to talk to you a little bit about Brickhouse Nutrition.

Ace Cosby
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Already got a couple songs from Pat this morning. Oh, yeah. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
He's at the I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Well, Patty G. Patty G's on the road. He got a couple of road shows. Yeah, he is the man, the guitar. And we had a miss. I had misspoke. Based on the information that I was given, I was told that Pat was going to be doing a show in a place called Greenfield, Indiana, at the. I was given the, the name of the venue is the H.J.
Chick McGee
h.J. Center.
Tom Griswold
The H.J. center.
Chick McGee
That's what I understood.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Sorry, Tony. It's apparently the H.J. ricks Center. Oh, yeah, the, the H.J. center might be.
Chick McGee
Well, that makes much more sense.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Near a high school. I'm sorry. Sorry. Let's see now. Oh, and on May 30, Patty G. Is going to be at Shakespeare's in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Looking forward to be cool. That'll be a good show Saturday night in Kalamazoo.
Chick McGee
If your father was still alive, he could come. He would be great, right?
Ace Cosby
He used to come to a lot of shows.
Chick McGee
My boys. That's Shakes doing Shakespeare. Boy.
Tom Griswold
Your father was a director of a Shakespearean drama and a professor of Shakespeare.
Ace Cosby
His favorite was musical comedy and Shakespeare.
Tom Griswold
What was his favorite Shakespeare play?
Josh Arnold
Life.
Ace Cosby
Oh, I had Midsummer Night's Dream. Yeah, he loved that. I've seen a couple of great versions of that. My dad did.
Tom Griswold
Now, were you Ever in one.
Ace Cosby
I was in only one, but it was directed by Carl Wagner, the other professor at our school. Romeo and Juliet. I was Benvolio. The worst. I mean, just a boring part.
Tom Griswold
You weren't Romeo?
Ace Cosby
No, Gosh, no.
Tom Griswold
We.
Pat Godwin
Why not?
Ace Cosby
I was a freshman. I wasn't ready for Romeo or I. I mean, I'm a terrible auditioner. I was very self conscious.
Tom Griswold
But, I mean, there was a time, I think, you. When you were a young man. Christy, wouldn't you agree with me? Pat was a young, handsome man.
Christy Lee
And hey, look like David Cassidy.
Chick McGee
He looks a lot like David.
Christy Lee
Yeah, Yeah.
Ace Cosby
I had that flippy hair, like.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you did.
Tom Griswold
I think I love you.
Josh Arnold
I heard that a lot.
Chick McGee
He had that change. Marlo Thomas hair from that girl that.
Ace Cosby
It was Danny DeVito.
Christy Lee
Oh, you don't look like Danny DeVito.
Chick McGee
Well, now, wait a minute a little bit.
Tom Griswold
Now. We were discussing driving in the neighborhood here, and it's similar to many neighborhoods in the US of A.
Chick McGee
It's dark right now.
Tom Griswold
Yes. But also there is a street with good reason, by the way. There. There are now three or four streets. To access one of the main main roads, you have to go through a neighborhood.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
And they have put up what they call speed humps.
Christy Lee
Correct?
Chick McGee
I've always heard speed bumps.
Tom Griswold
Yes. And I call them speed humps because they have a sign right at the. On the side of the road by each one, indicating there is a speed hump here. So, you know, to slow down. And I've also been told the speed humps are wider. Does that make sense? As opposed to a speed bump, which is like a curb.
Chick McGee
How did you come by this information? Did you bother someone working hard? Out. Out of doors? Some. Some workers. You're stuck in traffic.
Tom Griswold
I. I get a newsletter from the road department.
Christy Lee
Do you?
Chick McGee
Yes, that you do.
Tom Griswold
About to celebrate four years of closing most of the entrances to my favor. This comes to us from a gentleman named Brad driving a truck as we speak in Wisconsin.
Chick McGee
Hey, Brad.
Tom Griswold
Working hard, he goes. I recently drove past a speed hump sign. I turned to my wife and said, I prefer to take my time, but if you insist.
Christy Lee
Oh, I see.
Tom Griswold
Brad's a. Brad's a good guy. Yeah. All right, baby. I know you want it quick, but. No, no, we're gonna. We're gonna take our time.
Chick McGee
Don't you find, Chrissy, that sometimes girls want that. A quickie.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Get in, get out. Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Everybody gets what they need, and we're done.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
The word. Get it over with. No okay.
Chick McGee
Do you ever give a guy a shoulder tap when he's trying to pleasure you?
Christy Lee
Like, okay, we've had enough.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah. Or something. Tap, tap, tap. Hey, it's not gonna happen. Something like that.
Tom Griswold
The watch glance. Okay, let's. Let's move on.
Pat Godwin
A different.
Tom Griswold
Going back to shop class.
Chick McGee
You've got her looking at her watch.
Tom Griswold
Back to shop class. This comes to us from John Shop class. He made a guillotine 32 inches tall.
Chick McGee
Oh, my.
Tom Griswold
However, in metal shop, they would not allow him to make the blade at first until his wood shop teacher talked him into it. So that'd be fun.
Christy Lee
What would you use it for?
Tom Griswold
I don't know. Cutting carrots. Well, they.
Chick McGee
I was just gonna say if they made a kitchen tool, that countertop that you could, you know, it'd be fine. It'd take forever, obviously. But a guillotine, that would cut carrots, that would be kind of a cool thing to have, wouldn't it? No.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it'd be fun. It would take a while.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But it might be more useful for certain cuts of beef. Say, where you wanted to cut off
Josh Arnold
the end of the carrot, then you eat it like bugs.
Chick McGee
Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Just have it there on the counter just in case, you know, Celery. All your.
Christy Lee
They do sell conversation starter. That's right.
Tom Griswold
I have seen miniature guillotines.
Christy Lee
Really?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, sure. Yeah. Little tiny.
Chick McGee
Sure. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh, come on.
Chick McGee
Where do you see tiny?
Tom Griswold
I don't know. I've encountered one or two in my life.
Chick McGee
I have not go online.
Tom Griswold
I bet you can find one.
Chick McGee
I've not seen that Barbie dreamer.
Christy Lee
Guillotine.
Tom Griswold
It looks like guillotine. I prefer calling it a guillotine.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But that'd be great because we have so many elaborate kitchen appliances in our lives.
Christy Lee
I can get you on an Etsy for 20 bucks.
Chick McGee
A guillotine?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You want to pay more, do you? Yeah. You know.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
The 20 guillotine. You're gonna cut off your finger.
Chick McGee
That doesn't sound like it stays sharp. Did you know, I. And I think I'm getting this right. They use the guillotine and in like 1981 in France or something like that.
Tom Griswold
I thought it was a little earlier than that.
Josh Arnold
77 maybe, but it was definitely later than you would think.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And it was a public execution.
Chick McGee
Right, Right.
Tom Griswold
I don't know if any culture still. I mean, I know there's a lot. A lot of executions in Iran these days, but police. I don't know if they. How they do it. I Don't know what their method is, but I doubt very much that it's the guillotine. That is pretty brutal.
Christy Lee
The people that do like miniatures, like, yeah, they have. The guillotine's big in the miniature community,
Tom Griswold
I guess because I'm looking at them among small people.
Christy Lee
No, I'm in a church like this.
Tom Griswold
Like a dollhouse type of thing, you know, like contextually. Contextually. That was perfectly valid.
Chick McGee
Like a train set, like.
Tom Griswold
I see. Yes. I didn't understand when you said the miniature community, I thought you meant small people.
Christy Lee
People. No, the miniature people that deal with the miniature.
Tom Griswold
Now that you've articulated so clearly, I understand there are a lot of coming up or reenactments.
Chick McGee
I don't think a spokesman of the miniature community, as you put it, would want to refer to themselves as we're a miniature community.
Tom Griswold
I just thought that was the new politically correct language. I'm trying my best, okay. It's hard keeping up what people demand these days. Now, we have extraordinarily interesting news coming up. In fact, I'd like to maybe come back with a little bit of sporting news from Chick Magee.
Chick McGee
Oh, just a little bit.
Tom Griswold
We'd love to hear from you. You can get a hold of us, Bob and tom@bobandtom.com we are in the Aurelioto Part studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Hello.
Chick McGee
Hello. There's Pat Godwin.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey, Pat. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
He's at the I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey. I'm Chick McGee. And here's Tom. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
We were talking about how much fun it is to walk through a house while it's being built.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I knew as a kid.
Chick McGee
Is that fun?
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
All the time as kids.
Tom Griswold
You were talking about how much fun I was kid walk. And there's a partially built house across the street from me right now, isn't it? It's great. You can smell, though. They're. They're framing it, isn't it? Walk outside.
Chick McGee
Hazardous to go.
Tom Griswold
You smell the wood.
Chick McGee
And I don't think they want you in there, probably.
Josh Arnold
No, they don't.
Chick McGee
But of course not. Tom's gonna Waltz right in.
Josh Arnold
Part of the excitement.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show.
Chick McGee
Oh, boy.
Tom Griswold
Corey writes, when I was a teen, a buddy and I played at a new built house. They had just poured concrete for the garage floor. We thought it'd be cool to write our names in the concrete with a stick. Well, don't write your first and last names in concrete in a town of 200. They know who you are. They will find you my house. The girl's initials are in the little spot in the garage floor. Did you put your handprints or anything? And I know you have a new concrete patio.
Christy Lee
I did not.
Chick McGee
Oh, you should have done that.
Tom Griswold
I know, but maybe you could have done it like the Gromwyns Chinese Theater and.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that'll look good.
Tom Griswold
You sign it and put your handprints in there.
Chick McGee
You are just as fresh as today's headlines, aren't you? What's going on at Grauman's this morning?
Tom Griswold
I think they've changed the name they saw.
Chick McGee
Isn't that the place where all the. The cosplay with the pictures and things like Super. You'll see Superman and Michael Jackson having pictures with people.
Christy Lee
They charge you.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. Gosh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
That'd be a rough gig.
Chick McGee
Didn't somebody send us a picture?
Josh Arnold
They make so much money.
Chick McGee
Yeah, during.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, they do. They kill it.
Chick McGee
A break between picture. It was a guy dressed like Superman.
Tom Griswold
McDonald's.
Chick McGee
A guy dressed like Michael Jackson having lunch at McDonald's. Yeah, it was hilarious. Just taking a break.
Tom Griswold
I think in real life Michael would have loved having lunch with Superman. He probably thought it was possible.
Josh Arnold
I guarantee you we had lunch at McDonald's.
Tom Griswold
I thought you were. I thought you were. I just worded. God bat you. Ty was about to say the Boy Wonder. Sorry. Those are all allegations. There's no proof. Let's visit the sports page before. Oh, what do you got over there?
Chick McGee
All right. NBA playoffs last night. Victor Wembanyama. Vicky Vicki Wembley. Yes. 19 points, 15 rebounds. And the spurs handed Minnesota the worst postseason loss in franchise history, beating the Timberwolves 133.95. Evening that series at a game of peace. And Jalen Brunson scored 26 points and helped New York seize control of a close game. The Knicks win 108102 last night. What the hell's this?
Tom Griswold
This is.
Chick McGee
This is actually Michael park singing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, this is Michael Parks from Then came Bronson.
Josh Arnold
He's got a pretty nice voice.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he does.
Chick McGee
It's unobtrusive and it sounds like Michael Parks.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I like that guitar. But whatever. You mentioned Brunson, I think of. Then came Bronson. Just as the New York Post ever caught on to that? Do they like. Then came Brunson as an occasional headline? No.
Chick McGee
That's a shame.
Tom Griswold
They should.
Chick McGee
Knicks win 108102. And if you're wondering, Joel. Joel Embiid did not play. He's has various injuries after playing in game one. He's got a lot going on, Tom. He's. He's. He hurts. He's got pain.
Christy Lee
Jalen hurts.
Chick McGee
He's often.
Tom Griswold
All right, Christian, she's doing her own show over there.
Josh Arnold
He's.
Chick McGee
He's often.
Christy Lee
You would have done it, but I thought of it.
Tom Griswold
You're correct.
Chick McGee
Ted Turner, sportsman, a visionary, a media mogul, a sports team owner, and he has passed away at the age of 87.
Josh Arnold
Am I the only one that thought that? It happened years ago.
Christy Lee
I thought that too. I had to look it up.
Chick McGee
I was watching. There's a good doc on it. I think it's on HBO that I kept watching going, gee, I wonder. Wonder when he died. Wondering. And right at the end to go, he's still alive. And I go, wow. Yeah, that's something else.
Tom Griswold
He had quite a life.
Chick McGee
He used to own.
Tom Griswold
Oddly enough, though, the news was broken by Fox.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's a. That's a cable joke. What?
Tom Griswold
That is a little cable TV humor.
Chick McGee
Yeah. He used to.
Tom Griswold
Very, very little.
Ace Cosby
Like, they're gonna colorize his face for the viewing.
Tom Griswold
Oh, there you go. There you go. That's the better joke by far.
Ace Cosby
Anybody.
Chick McGee
Why was that? Why was that such a bit? I mean, I know that the originals were in black and white and he wanted to colorize them, but you could still watch the black and white ones if you want. Yeah. I remember a giant uproar.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. It was considered blasphemous, almost Color.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
The colorization wasn't great.
Chick McGee
That's true.
Tom Griswold
But when he did it to the wizard of Oz, the opening.
Josh Arnold
Reversed it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that. The opening sequence.
Christy Lee
Watercolors, wasn't it at the beginning.
Tom Griswold
But I bet the technology now, they can. They can probably, I assume, really nail it now if they wanted to.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
I'm sorry.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no, no. Turner Classic Movies is probably the channel I have on the most, so I certainly love that.
Tom Griswold
And he founded the Cartoon Network.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
But he changed the nature of. Of network news by going he. The 24 hour news cycle would have arrived anyway. But I mean, he was the guy that.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
Took the chance and did it a
Christy Lee
Lot of people don't know how much. He has also spent a lot of money and owns a lot of land. Trying to conserve our natural resources.
Tom Griswold
He own more land than any other.
Christy Lee
I believe you're correct.
Tom Griswold
He would just buy land and leave it.
Christy Lee
He wants to keep things as natural as possible.
Josh Arnold
Hopefully somebody takes that over.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I hope so.
Josh Arnold
And builds on it. Oh, I didn't realize.
Tom Griswold
Gotta have some fresh lumber to build. Yeah.
Chick McGee
What fills up a nice rendering plant.
Tom Griswold
I ate at the.
Ace Cosby
One of his.
Tom Griswold
What is it called?
Christy Lee
Ted Montana Grill.
Tom Griswold
Yes, and I. What they brought the bison burger.
Josh Arnold
I didn't know that was Ted Turner.
Tom Griswold
Yes, and they're good.
Chick McGee
They cover that in the documentary. He has. As Ted would say, he has a lot of bison.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wait, no, no, that. No, that's your.
Chick McGee
No, that's Ted Turner.
Tom Griswold
No, that's your Hustler magazine. That's.
Chick McGee
No, that's Larry Flat. See, Larry Fl.
Tom Griswold
He's got a little more moisture.
Chick McGee
If Larry Flat and Pat Turner would talk, that's similar, I'll give you that.
Tom Griswold
Can you do a conversation with both?
Chick McGee
Shut up. Ted Turner owned the. The Hawks, the Atlanta Hawks, the Atlanta Thrashers in the NHL, and also owned the Atlanta Braves. And when he bought the team in 76, they over averaged about 6,600 fans per game. Not very good. Well, he. He came up with some promotional events centered around the Braves, if you'd like to hear about them, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Well, he also took them to World Series.
Chick McGee
Yes, he did. We were going to get to.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sorry.
Chick McGee
Later.
Tom Griswold
I mean, the promotional events.
Chick McGee
You're just.
Tom Griswold
You're not gonna mention that he was a great sailor.
Chick McGee
Carl. America's Cup Carl Walenda type rope across Atlanta Braves Stadium. I'd go see that game in April 24, 1977, evidently. Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia and Busch Stadium, also in Los Angeles. They would hire Wallenda to come in and walk across the stadium on a tightrope.
Tom Griswold
Why don't they do that now?
Chick McGee
That'd be great. What?
Christy Lee
What?
Tom Griswold
You wouldn't want to see that.
Chick McGee
No, no, not at all. You. You would want to see that.
Tom Griswold
Absolutely.
Christy Lee
Frisbee dog.
Tom Griswold
No.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
What's the worst thing that can happen with a Frisbee dog? They choke on the Frisbee.
Christy Lee
You want to see a guy die?
Tom Griswold
No. Just fall.
Chick McGee
Yes. So he'd fall. Okay.
Tom Griswold
That maybe is some guy standing. A bunch of local firefighters following, like in the cartoons. By the way, do they still have those things?
Josh Arnold
Like those. You jump into them.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And the guys holding the circulars in
Tom Griswold
the movies, there's always some distraction.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
Or they miss. Are those.
Josh Arnold
Unfortunately, I think they're all inflatable now. Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Inflatable? Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's no fun.
Chick McGee
Turner also had ostrich races at Atlanta Braves games.
Tom Griswold
I wouldn't go see them.
Chick McGee
I would like to see the Oscars. In 1976, the Braves hosted a cash scramble. The team allowed selected fans to go out onto the field and grab as much cash as they could as it was being dropped from a helicopter.
Christy Lee
Oh, my God.
Josh Arnold
So many people were stabbed.
Chick McGee
Oh, my God.
Tom Griswold
Have you seen the thing, the video of the guy? He's in a harness and he's. He's. He's parallel to the ground, Right. He's horizontal. He's in a harness.
Christy Lee
Impossible style. Like.
Tom Griswold
Yes. And he's. And he's dropped into a giant vat of thousands and thousands of candy bars.
Josh Arnold
No, no.
Tom Griswold
And the goal is to get as much candy as you can. And then. And then there's a person. The other person has to guide him. Like it's a. Like a claw machine.
Chick McGee
So it's a human being for the claw.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
And he goes down and grabs everything.
Tom Griswold
Yes. It's circulating. I'm not sure why I got that video. I thought it was quite interesting.
Josh Arnold
Like state fairs. They'd make a ton.
Chick McGee
That would be great. Yeah. Like pay 10 bucks.
Tom Griswold
Oh, you have your kid dipped into. That's got to be the next bit.
Chick McGee
No, they could charge 20 if you get to keep all the candy. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And then I'd have it solid. If you, if you miss you. It would be like a claw machine where the harness would be. That would be holding the kid. If you. If you mishandled it, it would drop the kid back into the candy.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that might be problematic in some states.
Chick McGee
Kid would have to eat his way out.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Okay. Ted Turner, also a promotional night with the Braves. He participated against Phillies pitcher Tug McGraw. Maybe some of you remember him. They had a race on the field where they pushed a baseball using only their noses.
Josh Arnold
I feel like I've seen footage of that or something.
Chick McGee
Ted Turner versus Tug McGraw. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And
Chick McGee
what do you mean who won? Tug McGraw won. Thanks for asking. And then their number one all time night was in 1976, July 11th weekend, Turner hosted a mass pre game wedding ceremony. And then post game, they had wrestling matches. Yes, it was called wedlock and headlock.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Chick McGee
34 couples were married in a pre game ceremony. The game was followed by on field wrestling matches. The Braves beat the Mets 9 to 8, 6 RBI by Willie Montanez. How about that, Tom?
Tom Griswold
That's a great promotion, though. That's fun.
Chick McGee
Wedlock and headlock.
Tom Griswold
That's great. His motto was, early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise. Whoa.
Josh Arnold
His second motto was, God, will Jane ever shut up?
Chick McGee
She's in the documentary. She's very complimentary.
Josh Arnold
I know. She said some nice things, I guess, about.
Tom Griswold
They were married for 10 years.
Christy Lee
Yeah, she wrote a really nice eulogy.
Josh Arnold
In fact, the things she said about him were so nice. For a second, I thought Ted was North Vietnamese.
Chick McGee
Well, Tom is standing.
Tom Griswold
I was trying to think of a Hanoi Jane joke and I couldn't come up with one. You nailed it.
Ace Cosby
She can't outrun that.
Tom Griswold
Very good, sir.
Chick McGee
Boy, she'll never, never slip that cloak of communism off, will she?
Tom Griswold
You see that? They were on the other team.
Chick McGee
You see, NHL, Buffalo and Anaheim win a Stanley cup playoffs last night. And Kentucky Derby winner Golden Shower Tempo will not run in the Preakness next weekend. Trainer Sherry devoe announced the plan to skip the Preakness and concentrate on the Belmont June 6th at Saratoga.
Tom Griswold
That probably has a pretty profound effect on the ratings.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I would think. No Triple Crown, but the.
Tom Griswold
The rumor is they're trying to, I guess. Does Churchill down now? Do they own the rights to the Belmont? I think somebody bought something they want. The idea would be, I understand, to move the Preakness to after the Belmont. So the Belmont would stay where it is, but there'd be more of a rest period. I don't know.
Christy Lee
That's makes sense.
Tom Griswold
I don't know enough about it.
Chick McGee
Justify in 2018 and American Pharaoh.
Josh Arnold
Pharaoh.
Chick McGee
You mean Pharaoh. That's why I was looking at you as Bo Hopkins.
Tom Griswold
Yes. In the movie American Graffiti, he calls them the Pharaohs.
Chick McGee
Top of mind. They're the only horses to sweep the all three races over the past 40 years. How about that?
Tom Griswold
But it is exciting.
Chick McGee
Well, the Triple Crown.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Just knowing that it's. It's for sure.
Josh Arnold
But, like, it's rare now.
Chick McGee
Don't. Didn't they try to have the Breeders cup be better than that or more attention than the Triple Crown at one point? No. Not going to happen.
Tom Griswold
The Kentucky Derby is the thing.
Chick McGee
Well, sure it is.
Tom Griswold
Certain things that are just American staples. What is it, the 100? This was the 152nd running of the Kentucky.
Chick McGee
You know, I say American staples. Staples are an American stable.
Josh Arnold
They are.
Chick McGee
That's what I said.
Tom Griswold
You mean the Office Supply Store and
Chick McGee
the Swing Line Company?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I'm sure, they're based in China, but yeah, I bet they're American. Staple. They are a staple of staple little staplers. Yeah. Think where you'd be day to day in your.
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Chick McGee
Without staples.
Tom Griswold
I don't like staples. What is the. Not the store.
Christy Lee
I mean, like a staple.
Tom Griswold
No, I prefer.
Josh Arnold
We've all known that.
Chick McGee
Yeah, he's fingers or something.
Tom Griswold
Like, we staple papers together.
Chick McGee
Paperclip.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Paperclip.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah. What do you suppose the Christmas party's like if you work for the Swing Line Corporation?
Ace Cosby
They bring in the Staple Sisters.
Tom Griswold
The Staple Singers. Mavis.
Chick McGee
Don't sleep on Mavis Staples. She got a new album out there, man. It's great.
Tom Griswold
It's good.
Chick McGee
Well, thank you very much, Mavis Staples. Dismissed.
Tom Griswold
No, no, she's great. I, I, I was thinking about more of the swinger angle since I know that that's in your, on your bucket list.
Chick McGee
Swingers, a swinger party are the nicest people.
Tom Griswold
What else is going on over there, Chick McGee?
Chick McGee
We've got world records coming up, including Florida. And something happened in Aruba. I was in Aruba.
Christy Lee
Were you?
Chick McGee
I will not go back.
Tom Griswold
Huh.
Chick McGee
Tom, your thoughts on Aruba. Oh, that's good.
Christy Lee
Oh, I'm glad your mic was off.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
You say.
Tom Griswold
I didn't hear. I heard something. Oh, I'm sorry. It was my fault.
Chick McGee

Ace Cosby
Thank you, Chick.
Tom Griswold
We were talking about Ted Turner, who was Quite a guy. I mean, just a really interesting guy. Oh, it really transformed television. And as you mentioned, thought he was
Chick McGee
insane with 24 hour news channel.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, a very bold move. But also, Turner Classic Movies is great. And you mentioned the controversy of colorizing the movies, I believe. I think it was Jay Leno, I'm not sure, that said colorizing movies. What's he gonna do next, make Harpo Marks talk? Quite a clever line, apparently.
Chick McGee
That sounds like Jay.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Chick McGee
I thought it was great.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Coming up, we also have. I may interrupt sports for a Christy Lee news story. That is maybe. That is so exciting.
Chick McGee
I'm gonna count on it.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
It involves words you ordinarily can't say in the radio, but you can in this context.
Chick McGee
Are they naughty words?
Tom Griswold
Not in this context. They're just fine. I'm looking forward to it. From the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Chick McGee
We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christmas. Christy Lee at the news desk.
Christy Lee
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Ace Cosby
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey, buddy. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
Howdy do. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee at the sports desk. We got a dynamite sports story coming up. It's amazing.
Tom Griswold
I'm looking forward to that.
Chick McGee
Yeah. But first I think I'm going to be preempted.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no, no, we can do that later. I just want to do a couple plugs, if you don't mind.
Chick McGee
Okay, go ahead, a couple.
Tom Griswold
We've talked to some fun people, by the way. Coming up. Up. We're going to chat. Let's. I'm not sure exactly what the date is going to be, but we're going to talk to a guy that has had a very unusual career, going from comedy writer to comedy actor to, I guess you'd call him, action hero Bob Odenkirk. We're to talk with Bob again. Terrifically funny guy. He's the guy that co created the famous Van down by the river bit with Chris Farley. But he's. He's. What was it called last year? No, nobody or nobody had Nobody.
Josh Arnold
Nobody, too. And then normal.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Is on the way. Yeah. So we're going to talk with Bob. Great guy. And it turns out he was most famous. Was he most famous for Better Call Saul?
Chick McGee
Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But also lately we've been talking to some cool folks. We talked to the Date to Joe Dombrowski, great comedian. He's got a special floating around out there called dad on arrival.
Christy Lee
Very funny.
Tom Griswold
He's. He is one of my favorite guests. Just last time he was here. Just hilarious. Also Eliza Schlesinger, we talked with her yesterday. That was fun. And she's going to be doing a handful of live shows, including one with Willie G. Special benefit at the famous Clues Auditorium and a bunch of other stuff. Or floating around out there. We'll talk about that. But I guess we have to get to this interesting sports story. What is it?
Chick McGee
Yes, it's the German Deer Calling championship that just took place in Germany. So if you're there, Tom, the Deer Calling Championship in German. Deutsch. Meister Shaft. Der his schufer.
Tom Griswold
Oh, Meister Shafter. Sounds like a movie with a guy with a nine inch. Well, wait a member, I have a question. I know our hunt. Allen, our. One of our engineers is not here today. He's the guy that hunts the most. But I didn't know. I know he does some deer hunting with a bow, but can you call a deer?
Chick McGee
Yes, you can.
Tom Griswold
I was not aware of that.
Chick McGee
You just have to know what to say and how to say it. I think.
Tom Griswold
Do we have audio?
Chick McGee
We do and we have a video. And they use.
Josh Arnold
Almost a telephone telescoping.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Okay. Can you stop it for a second? I want to describe what's happening. Oh, these guys have a, A, A brown shaft in their mouth that has a telescoping sleeve on it.
Chick McGee
And they're blowing into their pipes essentially.
Josh Arnold
That. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they're. They wrap their mouth around it and.
Chick McGee
Yeah, they do.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Josh Arnold
No, they kind of stroke it while they go up and down with their heads.
Tom Griswold
It's kind of a trombone esque motion.
Chick McGee
And naturally the changes as the, as
Tom Griswold
it moves up and down as the shaft is. The shaft is, is, is shortened. The tone goes up.
Christy Lee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Or the pitch, I guess, goes up. Help me here it. It.
Josh Arnold
They've done this before.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Oh, they certainly have.
Tom Griswold
But they're. They're putting their mouth around. It's. What size would you say? It's not like a trumpet where you
Josh Arnold
have a paper towel roll.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
Like a large recorder.
Tom Griswold
Maybe like a. Yeah, but their mouth is. There's not a mouthpiece that narrows. They're putting their mouth around. I think Josh nailed it.
Christy Lee
Large opening.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Paper towel.
Chick McGee
I wish there was something we could say that would make people think of what they're doing.
Tom Griswold
If you see.
Chick McGee
I can't think.
Tom Griswold
If you've seen the movie Deep Throat, you get some idea of the posture and the formation cramming into their mouth.
Josh Arnold
The sound is wild.
Chick McGee
Look at that guy.
Josh Arnold
Boy, he's kind of deep in his mouth.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that last guy looks like.
Chick McGee
Oh, look at that, man.
Josh Arnold
The last guy.
Tom Griswold
The last guy looks like he could make money at a glory hole on a truck stop.
Ace Cosby
Oh, I didn't.
Josh Arnold
I mean, it really is similar to.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Watching, like, three different porn stars and how they do it's disturbingly. Oh, now, here's two hands. That guy uses one.
Tom Griswold
No irony intended. That happens to. The. Most of these have been brown. This one's a black one, and it's thicker.
Josh Arnold
It is thicker.
Tom Griswold
Is this one. Does this one go into motion or is that a still shot?
Chick McGee
Well, I think it does. He just has a pause.
Ace Cosby
Yeah, we just pause it.
Tom Griswold
That's a lady, isn't it?
Josh Arnold
It's a feminine older man. You know how some old men can kind of look.
Tom Griswold
Lady.
Announcer
Yeah.
Chick McGee
There he is.
Ace Cosby
It's the fur in the back of the hat that throws you.
Josh Arnold
If I heard that sound out in the wild. What the hell was that?
Christy Lee
It does sound like a deer.
Tom Griswold
Sounds like Bigfoot.
Chick McGee
It does a lot like Bigfoot. Bigfoot, yeah.
Tom Griswold
That'd be a crazy scene. The guy's calling for a deer. All of a sudden, Bigfoot walks up, slaps him in the face.
Josh Arnold
Cut it out.
Tom Griswold
I thought you were a chick.
Josh Arnold
Rips his shirt open. Hey, what are you doing? You asked for this, pal.
Tom Griswold
Bend over.
Chick McGee
The joke is Bigfoot comes up and says, are there any messages for me? Say, because.
Tom Griswold
So I. But I didn't know.
Chick McGee
This is in Germany. It's a worldwide competition.
Tom Griswold
I didn't know you could call deer, though.
Chick McGee
The competition is judged by a jury that often listens with closed eyes to focus solely on the realism, tone, and behavioral authenticity of the sound. Competitors.
Tom Griswold
But wouldn't the true test be if any deer walk up to the.
Josh Arnold
And Tom. Doesn't that. Doesn't that look like a hardcover book? You walk past angrily at Barnes and Noble, listening with closed eyes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Soon to be a Hallmark movie. There's no way.
Chick McGee
Would you grab me Listening with closed eyes, please. Champions. Recently, Fabian Menzel defended his title at the 2025 championship last year in Dortmund.
Josh Arnold
Adino's husband, right?
Chick McGee
That's exactly.
Tom Griswold
No, he's. He's the uncle of Mr. Football. Johnny. Football Johnny Menzel.
Chick McGee
Is that right? So there you go.
Tom Griswold
Lately. Lately. In my neighborhood, and I live in a very normal sort of suburban neighborhood, but there's a. There's a. I don't know if you.
Christy Lee
I wouldn't say normal.
Josh Arnold
Normal.
Christy Lee
Very nice suburban neighborhood.
Tom Griswold
Nice. Nice neighborhood, sure.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
You guys all live in nice.
Josh Arnold
Earned it. Yeah. What the hell?
Tom Griswold
But I mean, but there is a.
Chick McGee
There's a snooty leaps to mind.
Tom Griswold
Not everybody. I'm not snooty at all.
Chick McGee
I beg your snooty pardon.
Tom Griswold
Pretentious, sure. But no. There's a. It's hard to explain. There's a. There's a creek near my house, and there's a wooded area of a dozen or so acres. And then there's a park a couple miles away. And lately I'm hearing a lot of coyote.
Chick McGee
Ah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And a coyote took on a Doberman pincher just last week. I told you off the air, the Doberman is okay, but the smaller dog last year, you know those people, their dog got taken out by a coyote.
Josh Arnold
Yikes.
Tom Griswold
So. And there are a lot of deer running around, but the coyotes definitely are. They have a lot going on. Audibly.
Josh Arnold
They do. They sound insane.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
We got them out here in a field right next to the building.
Christy Lee
It causes my dogs to wake up in the middle of the night. Like, what the hell is that?
Josh Arnold
Sort of nightmarish.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And then where we are right now, we're in kind of in a floodplain, and it's heavily wooded around here. And there are a lot of deer and owls.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I love owls.
Tom Griswold
They're. And they're also. They make a lot of noise too.
Josh Arnold
They do. And sometimes at like 2pm yeah. What the hell's that guy doing?
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I mean, do you ever. You ever see the one.
Chick McGee
There are owls that are just like people. Some of them sleep late.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I forget what the degree is, but they can turn their head something like 280 degrees. Whatever it is, it's awesome. Whenever you see it, you go, oh, my God. That's like the cartoons. They really do that.
Christy Lee
Had a wild turkey roll through the yard yesterday.
Tom Griswold
Well, there was chicken guy right over by the shack, a mile from me. Remember that? They had those chickens in his front yard. I kept thinking, aren't they gonna walk into traffic?
Christy Lee
I always wonder about that. They have a lot of. I have free range. Jeff and I live near each other, and there's a place by us that they have free range chickens.
Josh Arnold
You and Jeff live near each other and worlds apart.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Ace Cosby
It's like one street.
Tom Griswold
So if. If you.
Chick McGee
If you. Boy, that almost brought that tear.
Tom Griswold
If you. If you smell the. If you smell the pot, it's not coming from Christie's.
Josh Arnold
House?
Chick McGee
I don't know. I think Christy gets down every now and then. You don't know.
Tom Griswold
Oh, do you smoke the reefer?
Christy Lee
No, I don't.
Chick McGee
Of course she does.
Christy Lee
No, I never did.
Chick McGee
Edibles.
Josh Arnold
Oh, smoke the edibles.
Tom Griswold
You're doing it wrong.
Christy Lee
An edible or two.
Chick McGee
I'll enjoy an edible. Every now.
Christy Lee
Yeah, every now and then. I can't sleep.
Tom Griswold
Sleep?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I haven't tried them there.
Christy Lee
Really? You might be able to. Well, have any troubles?
Tom Griswold
I struggle with my brain when it's in normal, sober mode.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I'm afraid if I. It was. Something awful would happen.
Josh Arnold
That's where I've gotten to. I don't.
Tom Griswold
I don't need anybody.
Chick McGee
You can't.
Josh Arnold
Mag.
Chick McGee
I told you this.
Josh Arnold
Throwing a grenade into a chaos already.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The gasoline. The misting gasoline's in there. I don't need to throw a flame in there to go with it, but
Christy Lee
maybe it would smooth it out.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, maybe it wouldn't.
Chick McGee
I was edible one afternoon, and I didn't think it was working, so. But I started listening to music and I kept thinking, where did I get the version of this song? And it was. It was. It was just me. And it stretches out time for me. It likes five minutes. It seems like an hour. It's crazy.
Tom Griswold
I told you about my experience when I was driving in Colorado several months ago, and I stopped at a dispensary. And those are always fun. But the guy. The guy that I was dealing with in there. What is. What is the word for a wine guy?
Christy Lee
Sommelier.
Tom Griswold
Sommelier. They're the pot version of that. And I was. I was purchasing some stuff for a member of my family. Anyone want to guess? Art. But I didn't really know what I. What to get. And I wanted to call him, but you're not allowed to use a phone in a dispensary. For reasons I don't. I don't understand. The guy got. You can't use a phone in here. What? Anyway.
Chick McGee
Huh? He's in there magooing around in the dispenser.
Tom Griswold
I'm serious.
Josh Arnold
I don't wonder what that rules about. I don't know if that's photos, maybe, or.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, I was talking, but I was speaking on the phone and I said, what am I supposed to get here? I don't know what to do. But the. The. The level of information that this guy had was. I mean, astonishing. He'd go, okay, this does this. This does this. But I don't know how. If he's Correct, but probably. Yeah, but they've got it. They got something for everything.
Josh Arnold
Like people who work at firework stands at night. They will shoot off a firework or two so that they can describe them to customers. I imagine it's similar at a pot
Tom Griswold
store, except if you combine. If you combine the two.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
If you have Joey's Stoner Fireworks current being renamed Three Finger Fireworks. How would you describe it? It was cool, man. Well, give me some more information. It was cool, man.
Christy Lee
I didn't know they'd light off a sample.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Christy Lee
It is smart.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
They should have sample night. Would that be legal?
Josh Arnold
You mean where people can come watch
Tom Griswold
you pull up to the stand? Okay, I'm going to do.
Chick McGee
I don't think so. So it doesn't sound probably.
Tom Griswold
Depends on the state you're in.
Josh Arnold
I remember when I worked at a fireworks stand, we were doing it and the manager had to come out and go, hey, fellas, a little farther away, please.
Tom Griswold
We were right next to the tent.
Chick McGee
Oh, Lord.
Tom Griswold
We were.
Josh Arnold
I was 15 and a half and I got my worker's permit because you could do that in Missouri. And yeah, we. Hey, guys. Guys out in the parking lot.
Chick McGee
Man, if one of those got away from you and flew inside. Gee, minutes.
Josh Arnold
Oh, the business. This is over.
Tom Griswold
And they. They can't put up enough. No smoking signs by those. You know, they forgot to put them up in Lakehurst, New Jersey a few years back.
Chick McGee
Yep, same thing.
Tom Griswold
That last cigarette before the Hindenburg touches down. Sorry. You know, they're doing a. What is it called? A perfume.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's what it's called.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Based on the Hindenburg disaster called. It's called Ode to Humanity. It smells like a good barbecue grill. Okay, my fault. I set the. My.
Chick McGee
That's how he views that.
Tom Griswold
That's my new go to now. Any terrible.
Josh Arnold
So what?
Tom Griswold
Okay, I didn't do it.
Chick McGee
World record coming up.
Tom Griswold
Hadn't been for the Hindenburg, we'd still have blimp travel today. That's all I'm saying.
Chick McGee
Wrap it up, Clowny.
Tom Griswold
Wouldn't you rather take a blimp to Chicago than a train or a.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
No, it would take.
Christy Lee
It would take forever.
Chick McGee
Eight hours to get to Chicago.
Tom Griswold
Sorry. It was a rare East Wind by Lafayette here in Minnesota.
Chick McGee
We ran out of gas.
Tom Griswold
These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. We love O'Reilly's. And this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer
Got a comment to share? Text us at 888-262-8661. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Chick McGee
She at the news desk. There's Pat Godwin.
Ace Cosby
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey, man. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Would you like to hear a story from my childhood?
Chick McGee
Coming up, I really would. Yes. Josh is at the IH Steven Singer, sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Howdy. I'm Chick McGee. And hello, Tom. I believe Josh has a story.
Tom Griswold
I want to talk to Josh about his childhood. You know, your.
Josh Arnold
Your.
Tom Griswold
Your dad is a great man. He was a Vietnam combat veteran story.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Two tours of duty in Vietnam. God, I wish your dad was around to beat Chick's ass.
Chick McGee
Oh, he already grabbed me by the neck one time.
Tom Griswold
He didn't hit you hard enough.
Chick McGee
Dying.
Tom Griswold
Your father is gone now, sadly. But you. This is a story from your child. Is your dad involved in the story?
Josh Arnold
No, my grandmother is. And sometimes grandparents would grab the grandkids up, and we would go on a trip. We'd go on a.
Tom Griswold
Is this your dad's mom or your mom?
Josh Arnold
It's my mom's parents, primarily. But my. My mom's mom would say this often. My other grandparents would take us on trips, but they did not say this. My grandma always said when she had to use the restroom on a road trip, I need to make a pit stop. People have heard this, but as a little kid, all pit stop meant to me was I had to pee. So the first time I heard about pit stops in, like, the Indy 500, I thought every player, every racer was pulling over every driver during a pit stop, getting out and peeing real quick and getting back in their car.
Chick McGee
That would only make sense.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
That's so cute.
Tom Griswold
I wonder if back in the day, way back when they had a driver and a. They had a mechanic riding with them. I wonder if they did hop out at all.
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
I did. Boy, that'd be. Would you have a guy with a bucket?
Christy Lee
Husband will let us know?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I have. No.
Tom Griswold
Although, I mean, until a recent remodel, a bucket would be better than the facility they used to provide at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. They've improved vastly.
Christy Lee
I could see where you would think that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah. So it's like, oh, yeah. And in my head, you know, when you're a kid, you go, oh, that makes sense. They're gonna have to pee at some point.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
What was that?
Christy Lee
A long drive.
Tom Griswold
We were talking about various. What is it? Euphemisms? The necessary room.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
We say comfort break now. Oh, what, I gotta take a comfort break?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I get in trouble.
Chick McGee
I gotta take a squirt.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I've learned I'm not allowed to say, look, I've got to go pee.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't need to go into that much detail.
Christy Lee
Right. I learned that from my English friend when we were on our trip.
Tom Griswold
I'm gonna hit the men's room.
Christy Lee
He would say, we're gonna stop for a comfort.
Chick McGee
A comfort break.
Tom Griswold
I do. I would like to object to the.
Chick McGee
Oh, here we go.
Tom Griswold
There's a restaurant here in town. Very clever. Instead of just saying men and women or whatever, boys and girls, they have these 3D sculptures. And I remember looking at both of them going, I give up.
Josh Arnold
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
That doesn't have a skirt on it.
Ace Cosby
I don't know if that.
Tom Griswold
What is that, an erection or a sailboat?
Chick McGee
What the hellboat?
Josh Arnold
I have pictures somewhere. Maybe I can dig these up of the restrooms at the school I taught in Korea. And instead of having men or women or, like, a skirt or a man in a suit, it was a penis with urine coming out of it and a vagina with urine coming out of it.
Christy Lee
No.
Ace Cosby
Really, now?
Josh Arnold
Sort of subtle, very subtly done. But that's what it was at the school. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Now, does that mean you couldn't poop at all? Either one. A place I went in the Bahamas, they had. I. I stared at both of them and. Oh, well. And then I like the places where they go, you know, we don't care. It's men and women.
Christy Lee
Whatever.
Tom Griswold
Right. And then just the other day, I was. I walked into a men's room, and I was peeing standing up at a urinal. This lady walks in, she's doing stuff, and then she turns around, oh, my God, this is the men's room. Sorry.
Josh Arnold
And by the way, sir, congratulations to your wife.
Tom Griswold
What is your preference, Christy? Do you. Do you say. What was. How did you word it?
Christy Lee
Comfort break.
Tom Griswold
A comfort break.
Christy Lee
A comfort break.
Tom Griswold
That's.
Christy Lee
Or I just say it's too vague.
Josh Arnold
It is vague.
Tom Griswold
I'm going to go lie down for half an hour. I've got a headache and I'm sick of hearing you. The comfort break.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
That sounds like I'm kind of with Kelly. When Andy and I first got together, I would say. Could you just say, I need to be excused? That's all you need to say?
Ace Cosby
I.
Josh Arnold
There is something to be said, though, for saying I need to go pee instead of I need to Go to the men's room because you just want to let them know. This is going to be quick.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I'm not going to be in there. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I don't want to hear. A friend of mine always does this. He'll go into great detail about what's coming up.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh. Cause you're guys.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But I don't want to. I don't need that.
Josh Arnold
Sometimes guys can be guys too much.
Tom Griswold
Yes, absolutely.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
Especially if they're 19 and in a fraternity that tends to.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
But we all have the 52 year old friend who's still open door guy.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And we are as the least mature adults.
Chick McGee
I know.
Josh Arnold
But we're pretty well behaved in the hall. Chick rarely. Never Would never come to me and go. I have got to crap like.
Chick McGee
Oh, man.
Josh Arnold
Like a circus elephant.
Chick McGee
It's grumpy. Tom. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
We would.
Chick McGee
It's not, as a matter of fact, common euphemisms for visiting the bathroom. Of course. Powdering your nose.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick McGee
That's probably in the hall of fame. Tom. Then you have some more reasonable ones. Fresh enough up. Use the facilities. Answering the call of nature. And then there are. Drain the lizard. Drop the kids off at the pool. I hate them.
Josh Arnold
These are all gross.
Chick McGee
Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl.
Tom Griswold
That's never happened.
Christy Lee
I had never heard of constipated people.
Tom Griswold
No. Yeah. Never mind.
Chick McGee
I have never heard this, but I'm going to start using it. Point Percy at the porcelain. Your thoughts?
Josh Arnold
Percy's very British for wiener.
Chick McGee
Percy. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Isn't Percy also feminine?
Christy Lee
Percy.
Josh Arnold
Why? Because it sounds like.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
No. No.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Don't you call yours a Percy Sledge?
Chick McGee
Man. Oh, man. Uk. They say spend a penny.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I'm gonna go spend a penny.
Tom Griswold
I mean go to the loo.
Chick McGee
Going to the jacks. The Lou.
Tom Griswold
That's the stand. That's the most common that I've written. Remember.
Chick McGee
Right. Man. Laying cable for the major transaction.
Tom Griswold
No.
Josh Arnold
That's funny.
Chick McGee
That's really funny.
Josh Arnold
I gotta go lay some cable.
Chick McGee
Thick, thick cable.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's awful. How do we get in the. Have you ever, ever heard. What's the. There's a famous review. Maybe you'll remember this, Josh. Maybe you will.
Ace Cosby
Christie.
Tom Griswold
It's. I have your book. I'm in the smallest room in my house.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
In the smallest room in my house. I always love that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Even. Where even the Kaiser goes alone is a good one.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Chick McGee
Yeah. That's it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. We're even. The Kaiser goes alone. That's terrific. What's the largest in home bathroom you've ever seen.
Christy Lee
The large.
Tom Griswold
Remember I, I told you I went to this guy's house and he had a. I still, I can't explain it. They must have repurposed the room. The room was about almost half the size of a, like a tennis, not a tennis court, a handball court. And the, there was a toilet at the back of the room, right in the middle. Like there's like six, eight feet on either side with nothing else in the room. Weird. Just a toilet.
Christy Lee
That's it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And eight feet behind it.
Tom Griswold
No, about two feet behind it.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
It would imagine. Yeah. A room like, I don't know, 15 by 15ft. A toilet in there.
Josh Arnold
No furniture that's too, too open.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. It must have. I, all I can think of is it must have been something else. And for plumbing purposes, they put a toilet and it was just weird.
Christy Lee
That is, why wouldn't you.
Chick McGee
Well, I saw a shower that was
Tom Griswold
honestly 15 by 15 with one nozzle.
Chick McGee
No, no, two nozzles, but it was 15 by 15 by 15.
Tom Griswold
Oh, high ceiling.
Chick McGee
It was gigantic.
Tom Griswold
Be freezing in there.
Chick McGee
Well, there you go.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Okay, now you stand under the water. Coming up, we have a couple news stories.
Chick McGee
A lot of room to get it on in the shower.
Ace Cosby
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yes. Oh, one of which, two of which actually have a word you can't say in the radio, but we can say it today. Contextually.
Chick McGee
You keep saying that and I being
Tom Griswold
even more skeptical when it happens, you and I are going to say the word over and over again because it's going to be so joyous.
Chick McGee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
I promise you.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
You'll love it. I'm very excited about it.
Chick McGee
I can't wait.
Tom Griswold
And then the other one involves. Pat Godwin's gonna have to help us with something because it involves the state of Pennsylvania. Okay. I know you're in need of. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer

Tom Griswold
Hello.
Chick McGee
At the music station. Tom, I don't know if you've been able to pick up on.
Tom Griswold
No, I. The children in the room. The.
Chick McGee
Christy. Christy and Pat are fighting over territory. I can't believe her counter space this
Christy Lee
morning takes up so much room.
Ace Cosby
I look to my left for my art. I will not put it to my right there. I made a stand.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I had to. I had to go through that in the break room. Even though I'm right handed, I always look left. I don't get it.
Ace Cosby
I thought you were on my side of the group.
Chick McGee
No, I. I can't stand either one of you. There's Josh Arnold at the I Hate Stephen Singer sidekick chair.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Hello. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
All right. Could you stop throwing paper airplanes?
Christy Lee
I got rid of it.
Chick McGee
Well, you can have my.
Tom Griswold
How bad are things when I have to be the adult in the room? Serious.
Josh Arnold
Fly like paper, get high like planes. When you kept going.
Tom Griswold
What are you. What song are you? I mean, what. You are. What. What are you doing?
Christy Lee
All of his papers keep coming up.
Tom Griswold
You please move your papers.
Christy Lee
He had a whole stack of papers that he wasn't using.
Ace Cosby
You know, I wasn't using. That's future bits.
Chick McGee
You might want to write this down. But in Christie's defense, Pat has. I don't know, most of the counter over here.
Christy Lee
I gave him my stand, so he.
Ace Cosby
Oh, I like it, too. And I'm not giving it back.
Christy Lee
I know. And they don't make.
Chick McGee
And I made the point. We didn't have any of these problems when he was in the studio where he's supposed to be and.
Tom Griswold
Oh, behind the glass.
Christy Lee
Yes. And the light. So good.
Ace Cosby
It's not like I have extra cups
Tom Griswold
over here or anything.
Chick McGee
Why can't we.
Christy Lee
And you never put them. You leave them when you go.
Ace Cosby
It's all coming out.
Tom Griswold
Let's just move forward. Do we have a song now, or is that what's going on over there?
Ace Cosby
We have songs.
Tom Griswold
Okay. I mean, are you preparing a news story that has. This is followed by a song. Is that what's going on?
Josh Arnold
No, that's. See, that's the interesting part.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
This is all for not.
Tom Griswold
I see. Okay, let's move forward here. What do you have going on?
Chick McGee
Authorities in Florida arrested a woman accused of kicking a child at a youth football game during an on field brawl. According to the arrest report, Lee County Sheriff's deputies responded to a game at Brooks park in Fort. Fort Lauderdale, maybe Fort. After a fight broke out among the players, some parents ran onto the field to intervene. A witness reported seeing a woman repeatedly kicking a 13 year old.
Josh Arnold
Oh, 13 is not that bad.
Chick McGee
Yeah. A 34 year old suspect, Renee Lynn.
Tom Griswold
Get pads on, right?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Shin guards or something.
Chick McGee
She told deputies she was hit. She hit me first, she says. All right. And apparently could not understand why she was being detained by police. She was taken into custody on child abuse charges.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But she has been signed as their new punter.
Josh Arnold
Oh, well, that's good.
Tom Griswold
I see you saw the kick. I mean, that kid went about 14 yards.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it was football. I was picturing soccer for some reason.
Chick McGee
It. Yeah, it was definitely. Yeah. Authority youth football game.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Boy, oh boy.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Well then. Yeah, exactly. You're right. Tom totally padded up.
Chick McGee
Got a helmet for good.
Josh Arnold
Being a punk. Hit a woman first, right?
Tom Griswold
This will happen. People get very upset.
Chick McGee
I bet this happens multiple locations during children's competitive sport.
Tom Griswold
Oh, when the parents rush the field.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Josh Arnold
It was better before cell phones when you could strike a child and not get caught, wasn't it?
Tom Griswold
There is video of this. There is video of this? Yeah. I don't know if we have it, but I saw it last night. It was on the national network news.
Chick McGee
Was she actually, you could see her?
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Really?
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Was she somebody you would like to have a cup of coffee with?
Tom Griswold
No, no, I. She's somebody I. I would want to have. Help me unload an anvil from truck.
Chick McGee
I see
Josh Arnold
a burly woman.
Chick McGee
She could hold her own, eh?
Josh Arnold
Independent.
Tom Griswold
Like I said, she kicked the kid 13 yards through the uprights.
Chick McGee
And speaking of strong people. Stupid world record. A strong man from Aruba has claimed the Guinness World record for the heaviest vehicle pulled by the neck.
Tom Griswold
Huh.
Chick McGee
49 year old, first name Egmond. Egmond, E, G, M, O, N, D. Molina.
Tom Griswold
That's because they call him the giraffe. Pulls things with his neck. Never mind. Giraffe starts with a G, but it's got a J sound.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, you.
Chick McGee
You.
Josh Arnold
You were asking a little too much.
Tom Griswold
Circuitous. Circuitous wrote road. Excuse me? Circuitous road to a small punchline.
Chick McGee
I don't mind you weren't wandering around in the woods, but don't take us with you.
Tom Griswold
Sorry, my fault. I. I didn't even notice it was Eggmund until just now.
Chick McGee
He dragged a bus weighing 21, 737 pounds over a 65 foot course using a rope wrapped around his neck, beating the previous record by 17, 770 pounds.
Josh Arnold
Oh, he could have done way less.
Chick McGee
Yes, well, he earned the nickname the human crane. Currently he has 10 records.
Tom Griswold
There's a photograph of his chiropractor. At his lake house.
Josh Arnold
You know, the guy doesn't look ridiculous.
Chick McGee
No, he looks.
Josh Arnold
He looks like a fit, sort of middle aged guy.
Christy Lee
Right.
Chick McGee
I think the key is to get it started, you know, and once it starts rolling.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
I think it's.
Josh Arnold
You're exactly right.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's important they remove the chalks.
Chick McGee
Oh, I bet you could.
Tom Griswold
Hey, you wanna put the damn thing in neutral?
Chick McGee
Not funny. Not funny at all. Oh, wouldn't you like to hear his other world records he has?
Josh Arnold
Oh, this is a man of many feats.
Chick McGee
Yeah, there are nine of them.
Tom Griswold
No, just do the highlights. I just wanted you to see this guy is not just a one trick pony. He's gotten a number of tricks.
Chick McGee
The heaviest weight supported with his mouth on parallel bars.
Josh Arnold
How does this work?
Chick McGee
199.1 pounds. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
He's holding himself up on the parallel bars.
Tom Griswold
I think I. I envision him. I envision him being horizontal, supported with
Chick McGee
his mouth, but like he's laying on it.
Tom Griswold
I think he's. I think he's horizontal on the parallel bars. And then he's picking up 199 pounds with his mouth on a cable.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So this guy's got a dentist and a chiropractor that have lake houses. Next.
Chick McGee
The heaviest weight supported with the mouth on parallel bars whilst maintaining a horizontal body position.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's £90.
Tom Griswold
There's two categories.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry, £90.
Josh Arnold
Okay. Yeah, you might as well as you're already there. Yeah, you got the weight. You might as well do both vertical and horizontal.
Chick McGee
The fastest 20 meter bus pull with one finger does not specify which finger. Christy. 33.32 seconds.
Josh Arnold
I'm going index.
Christy Lee
Yeah, thank you.
Josh Arnold
I just feel like that gets the most work.
Christy Lee
You need your index fingers.
Tom Griswold
Is that. Which is the. Is that the strongest?
Josh Arnold
I don't know that, but it.
Chick McGee
I Do you have a go to diddle finger? The middle.
Josh Arnold
Oh, the middle's always involved.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, sometimes you incorporate both. Huh?
Josh Arnold
Oh, are you kidding me?
Chick McGee
I thought that. That that was almost a reflex.
Tom Griswold
What isn't? Is it? What is. I believe you. Your T shirt. It says one in the. Yeah.
Chick McGee
No, two on the pink.
Josh Arnold
One on the pink is rarely.
Tom Griswold
Can we move on? I thought we were doing world records here.
Chick McGee
The most. Yeah, because I don't know what this next one is. The most crown cap bottles open with Both hands in 30 seconds.
Tom Griswold
It means a non twist off 6. The non twist off. Taking it and What? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Tom Griswold
Remember in the days when you had to have a bottle opener?
Chick McGee
What? I'd never heard the term crown cap, you jerk.
Tom Griswold
Okay, well, that's because you have never left the counter. Anyone who'd be even in any traveling would understand the crown cap.
Chick McGee
Okay, that's true.
Christy Lee
I've never heard anybody.
Chick McGee
Josh, have you heard?
Josh Arnold
I haven't. I'm happy to learn. I don't. I don't want to be chastised for not having heard that before.
Announcer
You've been.
Tom Griswold
You've been to Aruba.
Christy Lee
It's a bottle cap.
Chick McGee
No.
Christy Lee
No crown cap.
Tom Griswold
This is an Aruba.
Chick McGee
Right now. I'm self conscious. No, about not leaving.
Josh Arnold
You know what? Before he read it this morning, Tom had never heard of a crown cow cap.
Chick McGee
I bet that's true.
Tom Griswold
Of course it's true.
Christy Lee
Maybe crown is a certain type of soda or something.
Tom Griswold
No, it means they got your royal crown. What's the word? Crimped.
Josh Arnold
But even twists off her crimp.
Chick McGee
Why are you dragging crimp into this conversation?
Tom Griswold
Because they're not twist offs. They're crimped onto the top of a glass bottle. And then you need a bottle opener. Traditionally. Or as it was once called a church key.
Chick McGee
Is it possible to say the word bottle bottle in a condescending fact?
Tom Griswold
Well, it depends who the audience was.
Chick McGee
Amazing. A bottle.
Josh Arnold
That guy did like 6 in 1 minute. Bare handed or with his butt cheeks bare handed.
Chick McGee
Both hands.
Tom Griswold
By somebody else.
Chick McGee
The heaviest. There's more.
Josh Arnold
Or does it just feel like it?
Chick McGee
Heaviest weight lifted from a platform with a hip belt. 2. 2 oh. 9 pounds. The fastest 20 meter tram pull with his teeth. 39.9 seconds. The f. I can't.
Tom Griswold
I told you just to do the highlights. But the second to last one's the best one.
Chick McGee
The fastest hot water bottle burst.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Chick McGee
2.87 seconds. So first a hot ball.
Josh Arnold
That's not easy. Those things are so.
Chick McGee
That's.
Tom Griswold
That's how strong his hands are.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, those.
Chick McGee
I thought he used a nine knife.
Josh Arnold
Oh, well, that would be.
Tom Griswold
I'm going to use a knife.
Chick McGee
Really? The heaviest deadlift with one finger. One finger. 350.53 pounds.
Josh Arnold
I don't know how he does it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
In his bones.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. At what point do you. Well, you just lost your. Remember we had the story about the guy. They were doing a tug of war and the one guy's arm fell off. No, it was ripped off completely and they lost. That's the worst sucky thing. You know, he. One armed Larry. Well, hey, look he won the tug of war. Okay, thank you very much. Well, thank you. Is that. Does that complete our sports broadcast, shouldn't it? Yes. Coming up, we have a great news story. I'm so excited about this because it is. It's words we can't say in the radio that we can say in the radio because of the nature of this story.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Now, do. Do you agree with me, Christy?
Josh Arnold
Playing with fire?
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Christy Lee
No, no, no, I'm right there with you.
Tom Griswold
Will you see, I think if we
Chick McGee
say more than they were playing with fire, add to the tension, people stick around.
Tom Griswold
And then part two involves the state of Pennsylvania and not a commonwealth. An interpretation from Pat Godwin about another word we can't say in the radio. Oh, involving.
Ace Cosby
My notes are way over here, so
Tom Griswold
I'll go involving a city in Pennsylvania right now. Let's just say your neighbor sold his house and you went, they sold it for how much? For whatever reason. I don't know anything about this sort of thing. All I know is that houses are cost a lot more than they did just a few years ago, and the house you live in may be worth a lot more than you paid for it. So what's this all about? Well, it means there's a lot of equity in your house. You don't have to sell your house to take advantage of that. Maybe you've got some credit card debts where you're paying whatever it is, 20% plus interest, or maybe you want to get a nice new kitchen built. Whatever you want to do, it's your money. Why not take advantage of it and grab some of that cash by taking advantage of the equity in your home? And the folks at American Financing are experts in this. And what I'm talking about is doing a refi, as they call it, refinancing the house. And the way things are going right now, American Financing sent me these. Let me get the paper here. They're saving their average customer about 800 bucks a month right now on their mortgage payment. They've also got a special program, and this is, I guess, for a limited time, they're gonna be. In some cases, they can save you or they can delay, I should say, two mortgage payments. So maybe if you're trying to get your head above water, this might be just the thing for you. I don't know what your situation is, but you can call American Financing, and in this course of about 10 minutes, they can tell you if this is going to work for you. So if you're interested in this, if you've owned a property and you're thinking, hey, wait a minute, I can take advantage of this right now without selling it. Get hooked up with American Finance and you can call them. And I know it's hard to remember these phone numbers, but I'll try to give it to you quickly. 866-88926 11 or it's a lot easier just to go to the website American financing.net and do me a favor and put slash Bob and Tom so they know that we say hello.

Chick McGee
Welcome back to the Baba Top show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and I, I think, I'm pretty sure we set a record today with people that hate each other in the room.
Josh Arnold
Shut up about it.
Chick McGee
See? Yeah, there you go.
Christy Lee
I don't hate any of you.
Tom Griswold
This isn't a record.
Chick McGee
Cram it, lady. It's not.
Tom Griswold
No, no, we've been.
Chick McGee
I need a guest to be mad.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we need a guest. I mean that first. I mean that's a no brainer. You hate all of them. But here we go.
Ace Cosby
Boy.
Tom Griswold
See what I did there?
Chick McGee
I've made a two birds. Not saying I hate our guests anymore. At least not out loud.
Tom Griswold
Okay, let's.
Chick McGee
Unless I just can't stand it.
Tom Griswold
Let's move forward.
Josh Arnold
All right, can we have Tom, can we have Oscar come in and tell the story?
Tom Griswold
Was that, that was off the air.
Josh Arnold
Was.
Christy Lee
It was on here yesterday.
Ace Cosby
He does.
Josh Arnold
And then we can have people write in and say who was in the wrong here.
Chick McGee
He could, it's pretty funny. He could tell us it happened to a friend of his. He wouldn't have to say it was him.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we'd have to have somebody take over his duties though, at the.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, well, let's just say, no, we won't have it. But it didn't all.
Tom Griswold
I enjoy it. It was a story about road rage.
Josh Arnold
Right, Right. And I've, I've shed all my road rage. It's not worth my time and energy. I'm over it.
Christy Lee
I'm so happy for you. I wish I could do that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. No, I'm not, I'm not giving strangers the Power to control my emotions anymore.
Chick McGee
Oh, I do. All the time. My God, yes, I do, too.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I've tried to tell.
Christy Lee
Why are you doing that?
Tom Griswold
I've tried to tone it down.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I've. I've turned my road rage off so much that if someone's in the car and I don't. Why aren't you honking at that guy? Why don't you yell?
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Chick McGee
Well, don't let him tailgate you like that. No, I. I just.
Josh Arnold
Has it ever made you feel better? I. That's my thing. Oh.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, it did.
Josh Arnold
Oh, never. I never felt better. You?
Chick McGee
Not only. Yes, but you betcha is what Tom said.
Tom Griswold
What is greater than having some. A hole. They're driving t. They're behind you, and they're right 2 inches in back of you. And they're doing all that. They maneuver themselves away in speed through a school zone or whatever, and then a mile ahead, you see them pulled over.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's not you, though.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's just a great feeling.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Josh Arnold
That's the world's sort of providing justice.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Even better, if they've run into a large embankment and their car is in flames, you just go, well, I could get out and piss on it. Put the fire out. No, I'm going to keep going.
Christy Lee
Well, that's hope.
Tom Griswold
He's strapped in and roasting. Yeah, that's.
Josh Arnold
You know, I. For a second, I forgot who I was speaking.
Tom Griswold
How about a happy letter before we get to this next story? This is so sweet.
Ace Cosby
Sweet.
Chick McGee
Do it, baby, do it.
Tom Griswold
This is from. First name's only Donovan.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
From. I'll just say he's from the state of Iowa.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Because he's from a smaller town, I'm sure he's probably the only Donovan in that town.
Chick McGee
Oh, tumble.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, he goes. Today was the best day of our lives. Well, tell us what happened at 1209.
Chick McGee
Is he from Ames?
Tom Griswold
Wait, he's not from Ames?
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Ames, Iowa. Of course. The birthplace of Richie Hayward, the drummer for Little Feet. They're on tour, by the way.
Chick McGee
No one else knows that fact except his mom, Richie Hayward's mom, one of
Tom Griswold
the great drummers of all time. So could I get back to Donovan's letter?
Josh Arnold
We sure wish you would.
Tom Griswold
We welcomed our first child into the world, a little baby boy we named Waylon.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Chick McGee
So what?
Tom Griswold
What do you mean, so what? This is just a sweet letter. After months of waiting, sleepless anticipation and excitement, we finally got to meet the little guy today. It doesn't feel real. By the way. Then he says, tom, you'll appreciate this. The hospital where Waylon was born has an Otis elevator. That's right, Tom. The Cadillac of elevators. I know you're a fan. Clearly, this hospital has excellent taste and high standards in vertical transportation. So that's the place. That's where you want to go.
Chick McGee
That's nice.
Tom Griswold
You go to a hospital, they don't have an Otis. I'm not going in there.
Josh Arnold
I'm not. And I've changed completely with hospitals. Ranch hospitals or nothing. Do they call them multiple floors?
Chick McGee
You know what? I know that I like the one floor hospital, but I didn't have an effective name. Well, we. Ranch hospital.
Tom Griswold
We probably could have saved them, except we had to go 3,000 yards to get to the surgical area because it's a ranch.
Christy Lee
You don't see a lot of ranch hospitals.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you gotta. You gotta want to find.
Christy Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
You have to work.
Tom Griswold
But there's one they're building here that's like 80 stories.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. No, not for me.
Tom Griswold
Full of brilliant.
Chick McGee
So let me ask you this. Would you go to a hospital if they'd guarantee you would have all of your transactions on the first floor?
Josh Arnold
But it has multiple floors.
Chick McGee
It has multiple.
Josh Arnold
No, because the physicians could get stuck at one of the times. Top floors.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
And I'm needed down. Yeah.
Chick McGee
All right.
Josh Arnold
No, I'm out.
Christy Lee
That's fair.
Tom Griswold
Are you gonna say happens all the time? Well, we. We could have saved him, but Dr. Smith was stuck between Florida 7 and 8.
Chick McGee
Dr. Smith.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
I was lost in space, doctor.
Josh Arnold
70 of patients in the hospital pass away because a doctor is stuck in an elevator.
Chick McGee
Really?
Josh Arnold
This is their alarming.
Tom Griswold
Where was I?
Chick McGee
Oh, the information is there. You just have to look it up.
Tom Griswold
Our letter. Our nice letter here from.
Chick McGee
Please.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
On the drive home, Waylon's first radio show will of course be the Bob and Tom Show.
Josh Arnold
Well, welcome to the world, Wayland.
Tom Griswold
I've been listening for 10 years. I'm proud to say you've officially gained a brand new listener.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's sweet.
Tom Griswold
Congratulations, Donovan. And congratulations to your lovely wife and little Whalen. That's a great name for it.
Josh Arnold
It sure is. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You don't hear that much. Of course. The great Waylon Jennings.
Chick McGee
They're from Iowa City, right?
Tom Griswold
Not to. They're not from Iowa City. They're from Centerville over there.
Chick McGee
Whalen and Centerville. Now they're famous.
Tom Griswold
Waylon and madam, the great puppeteer. Now, Donovan, you're gonna be angry with me now.
Christy Lee
Yeah, he is.
Tom Griswold
But Waylon And Madam.
Chick McGee
Why is he gonna be mad at you?
Tom Griswold
Waylon and Madam, they were in here and Chick and I will tell you, that guy, he was famous on what? Hollywood Squares or something? Yeah, he was so nice.
Josh Arnold
I would have loved it.
Tom Griswold
So funny and so self deprecating both on and off the air.
Josh Arnold
How was Madam?
Chick McGee
Really funny.
Christy Lee
She was funny.
Tom Griswold
This is true. And I want you to back me up in this. And Ace, you may remember this. I was here, a member of our. Oh, you were here for that? Okay, good. A certain member of our staff had to leave the building. I'm not kidding. And he would also leave when anyone.
Christy Lee
Because he was afraid of ventriloquist.
Tom Griswold
He was afraid of ventriloquists and afraid of puppets.
Josh Arnold
And Madam was sort of harsh looking.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, pointy kind of. If you don't know what we're talking about, take some time today and Google Whelan and madam. Watch some YouTube videos.
Josh Arnold
I loved it as a kid. Loved it.
Tom Griswold
Maybe he did. I just knew him from the Hollywood Squares. I wish I'd seen his life. So sadly he is no longer with us. He was just so funny. So the name Waylon I associate of course with Waylon Jennings, the great musical
Christy Lee
artist, which I'm sure is Donovan association.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, probably.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
That's why he's gonna be angry when he finds out. Perhaps that Waylon is. But hey, the guy likes comedy. Who.
Josh Arnold
What other. So you. We've also. We've talked to Jeff Dunham many times. I believe you guys had Willie and.
Chick McGee
Yes, Willie Tyler and Lester.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, you've had. You've had. Did you guys ever have Chuck and Bob?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, no, we had Chuck. Chuck Wood. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
David Strassman. That's. And he's huge in Australia now.
Josh Arnold
Chuck and Bob was my favorite it. Because I'm just a giant soap fan.
Chick McGee
Oh yeah, that's right. That apple bit.
Josh Arnold
It's as funny as it gets.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I love ventriloquists. I used to have a Jerry Mahoney and a Dunklehead Smith dummy as a kid.
Josh Arnold
I also like Otto and George.
Ace Cosby
Oh, that's cool.
Josh Arnold
If you like your. Your ventriloquism poor and filthy, but they make me laugh a lot in high school.
Tom Griswold
Didn't you care puppet around for a while while Grover.
Chick McGee
I had a Grover puppet.
Tom Griswold
A Grover.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Did you ever try to throw your voice?
Tom Griswold
Are you kidding? I can do it. Great.
Josh Arnold
I spent a fair amount of time as a kid trying to figure it out. So anyway, I remembered some advice my dad once gave me which was you don't have to be good at everything. There are other people who can be good at those things. For you, that's good advice. And I went, oh, he's right.
Tom Griswold
That is some rock solid advice that they should give more often on American Idol.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah. I mean, you don't want to hurt people's feelings, but you also kind of go, you know what? There are other things for you.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, let me get. Let me do a little experiment here. Christy Lee, your husband is very nice. Andy. I really like him.
Christy Lee
Yes, you've.
Tom Griswold
You've done well.
Christy Lee
Thanks.
Tom Griswold
Now, when you're in the car, what you told me, look what he's trying to do.
Chick McGee
I'm recording the truth.
Tom Griswold
That's a lie. Now, Christy, if you're in the car with Andy, does he sing along with songs?
Christy Lee
Sometimes. If it's a Beatles songs, do you sing? Yeah, sometimes.
Tom Griswold
Does he say maybe this isn't for you?
Josh Arnold
No, I think Christy can sing.
Christy Lee
Not really, but.
Josh Arnold
No, no, you can sing along to the ra. I've heard you sing some tunes.
Christy Lee
I mean, I like to sing along. Yes. That's the best part about driving to Chicago tomorrow is get to seeing all the songs by myself in the car.
Josh Arnold
Nice.
Christy Lee
I get to pick what I want to hear.
Tom Griswold
No, Josh, you're a fine singer. You, of course, were in the high school premiere. Was it the premiere? Show choir. The show choir.
Josh Arnold
Show choir.
Tom Griswold
You sing in the car?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, man.
Tom Griswold
If you have a lady friend with you, do you chime in and.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah, I don't. You know what? You don't sing the same. At least. I don't. I don't sing the same when there's somebody in the car as when there isn't.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
But what if she's. Now, if she's a terrible singer, are you going to say to her, no way. As my dad once said, maybe singing isn't for you.
Josh Arnold
Nope. They're feeling it. Get it out, baby.
Christy Lee
Good singer.
Josh Arnold
I don't care if you're good or bad. Sing it out.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So I'll say you're okay with it.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
You're not going to take your dad's advice.
Christy Lee
So what about in your.
Josh Arnold
Well, no, I'm not going to tell that person to not feel the joy they're feeling. It's.
Tom Griswold
I see. In my car.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I put up with it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, of course you do.
Tom Griswold
I mean, my little girls will put up with it.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
But they're.
Christy Lee
They're.
Tom Griswold
They're okay. Yeah. They will also often sing you right now. Rarely but right now, I'm suffering through. I'm sure there's some other parents out there that deal with this where one of their daughters has an album she will not stop playing. Oh, yeah, we were.
Josh Arnold
We've all been there, though. What's she wearing out these days?
Tom Griswold
I don't want to.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to throw the guy under the bus, but.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha. It's just not for you.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I just wanted. Hey, would you cheer up?
Ace Cosby
I know it is.
Josh Arnold
Ah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
For God's sake, guys. First thing in the morning. Drive you to a nice Sunday brunch. And now his new song, the World Sucks and everything blows. And this is a huge hit. And I'm a billionaire. Go to hell. I don't want to hear it anymore.
Josh Arnold
She's in the. Bobby McFerrin, huh?
Tom Griswold
Don't be happy. So, anyway, Donovan, congratulations. And do yourself a favor. Look up Waylon and Madam. Great, great, great artist.
Josh Arnold
Now, when you. When you interviewed these ventriloquists, how often were you looking at the dummies?
Tom Griswold
All the time.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Isn't that funny?
Christy Lee
You can't help it, right?
Josh Arnold
You can't help but look at the puppet.
Tom Griswold
And I'm totally sure one of our cast members. I am not making this up. Every time that he'd leave and be. He'd be angry about it. I mean, he. He was. Did you know how I'm talking?
Josh Arnold
He had a true phobia.
Chick McGee
Yeah, well, I got in a fight with Chuck Wood one morning, remember? Because Chuck Wood had a squirt gun in his mouth.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Thought that was funny now, did you.
Josh Arnold
Who did you end up looking at, though, Chuck?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Isn't that wild?
Chick McGee
But I really hated Dave Strassman.
Josh Arnold
To me, the testament of a great ventriloquist is when you can talk to the. The human. And they're looking at you talking, and the. And the puppet is looking around.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
That is really something.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
And I do ventriloquism with my dog all the time. I have. I have a. I do standard back. I have a standard back and forth with my dog. I talk forehead. Him.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I love doing.
Tom Griswold
Constantly. Every time I see him, we go over the same thing.
Christy Lee
Do you move his mouth, too?
Tom Griswold
No, no, no.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
He just looks at me and I know what he's saying. No, I know exactly what he's saying. Now, we have a bunch of interesting things happening here, and I. I've been talking about this all morning, and we haven't gotten to it yet. We have the opportunity to Say a word you can't ordinarily say on the radio.
Chick McGee
You keep saying that and nothing's happened.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well, it's because Christie's got the story and I was distracted by this lovely letter from Donovan.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Congratulations, Donovan.
Christy Lee
Yes. We're very happy for you.
Chick McGee
Way to go. And having a baby. Me?
Josh Arnold
Chick does have a point. Millions of morons do it every day.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
I don't know what the big deal was.
Chick McGee
You don't have to take a test, you know, you have to get a license.
Tom Griswold
Donovan was kind enough to take some time, of course, wrote a sweet letter.
Josh Arnold
We are indeed happy to celebrate with him. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Because most of the time on this show, it's just nothing but hate, hate, hate.
Josh Arnold
But we can't discount Chick's point of, you didn't do much.
Chick McGee
And we can't let this guy down. If he listens to the show like he says he does, he wants to be hated. I don't think so. I think so.
Tom Griswold
Well, Donovan, enjoy some nice Whalen J.
Josh Arnold
I don't want to meet the listener who writes in and then we give that letter or that person a hard time and they're angry about it.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
What did you think was going to happen?
Tom Griswold
I do have a good Waylon Jennings story.
Chick McGee
Oh, God.
Tom Griswold
Real quick. Waylon Jennings, of course, was the narrator for a, at the time, hugely successful television show called the Dukes of Hazard.
Christy Lee
Yes, he was.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever see it, Josh?
Josh Arnold
Of course. Loved it as a kid. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And that was. The narrator was Waylon Jennings, and he was.
Josh Arnold
I celebrate the General Lee every day. I have big. I painted.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
So. So Waylon Jennings was on the road, of course, as a musician with his band all the time. And a friend of mine owned a recording studio, and he got a phone call from Hollywood one day and they said, waylon Jennings is going to be coming through. He's doing a concert.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
Hollywood called and we need to have him do the narration for the show for the particular week. And then they. They. Can you please send us the specs of your studio? Which he did. And he had a very fine studio. And they said, okay, obviously you've got what we need. And they. Studio time is used to be especially quite expensive, but they rented the studio for 24 hours. Whoa. They rented the studio for 24 hours and said, he'll be there. He's got a concert, whatever, at. He should be done at 11 o'. Clock. He'll be there sometime between, like, whatever, 12:30 that night. And then we have it for 24 hours, depending on what his schedule is.
Josh Arnold
So he would come in and, well, looks like those Duke boys sure have painted themselves into a corner.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So, but I mean, it was. It was pretty cool. So the bus arrives, A couple guys walk in, scout out the studio, make sure there's nobody else in there. And then. And they bring Whalen in and they put him on a stool, they set up an ashtray and a bottle of whatever. And a guy sits next to him and he's got a music stand with a script on it, right. And so they just. They're just told. Just told, roll the tape. That's all you have to do is roll tape. And then Waylon will read from it. And what this guy did was he secretly had another tape in another studio rolling, because when it was all done, he had to hand them what they thought was the only tape, and they would edit it when it got to Hollywood, they would, in those days, overnight fed exit. So Waylon sits there and he would go off script quite often. And when he went off script, it was. What's the word I'm looking for? Rather spicy. You know what I'm saying? Or he would make. Make critiques of the. Of what the Duke boys were doing. This is a ton of. So it's an absolute class classic.
Christy Lee
Where is that tape?
Tom Griswold
I'm hoping it's somewhere on the Internet, but there may be legal reasons it isn't, but yeah. Waylon, great singer, of course, great songwriter. Now, thanks for the letter. We certainly appreciate it. Donovan, Congratulations on little baby Whalen.
Christy Lee
I hope you got an aura frame for Donovan.
Tom Griswold
That's right, because he could take a nice. A whole bunch of pictures with the aura you're talking.
Chick McGee
That's a good reason to have a baby. Take pictures of it. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And the aura frame. What am I about talking.
Announcer
Talking about?
Tom Griswold
Well, it's like a little slideshow encapsulated into a frame. There's one right there. There's a picture of me wearing a wig.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
And it'll rotate in a moment into the next to the next slide, if you will. You can fill it. You can fill it full of videos.
Chick McGee
My wig, hat on my head. There's another half hour you will never get back.
Tom Griswold
Put on your blood field. It's high heeled sneakers is the song Christie's referencing. And I appreciate that.
Chick McGee
That.
Tom Griswold
Wear your wig head on your head.
Chick McGee
I'm gonna bring an automatic weapon.
Tom Griswold
This is my favorite thing, the aura frame. It's been named number one by wire cutter. They. They Know what they're doing? They love the Aura frame. It's a u r.aura frames dot com. The minute we started talking about these, I went out and bought one. It's got a prominent location in my house. There's a nice picture of Patty G.

Once you get it, it's all yours. Put whatever you want on it and you can load it remotely. So our friend Donovan, our new best friend and Otis elevator fan. He could take pictures of Little Whalen and send them perhaps to his folks or her folks, the mom or the dad. And they could be living in a different town. Oh, look, there's another picture of Baby Whalen. It arrived this morning. What a cool thing to have. And for a limited time, Bob and Tom show listeners get 25 bucks off the bestselling Carver Mat frame. The code word is Tom. To knock 25 bucks off of it. Auraframes.com this is a great gift for moms, dads, or for anybody. The Carver Mat frame. And once again, it's aura. Auraframes.com I'm a huge fan. You will be, too. Support the Bob and Tom show by mentioning us when you get it. Coming up, the words you can't say on the radio. Are we going to put that off for history? One of the two.
Christy Lee
It's your call, buddy.
Tom Griswold
These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer
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?
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the news desk.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin at the music desk.
Pat Godwin
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
He's at the IH Steven Singer Sidekick chair.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Ace, I'm Chig McGee. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Oh, you're talking about singing in the car.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
And you were talking about singing Big fan.
Tom Griswold
Well, I start with Josh said something interesting which Josh's dad. I'm a great admirer of Josh's late father. He said something to you. The essence of it was what you
Josh Arnold
don't have to be good at everything thing. You can let. Let other people be really good at those things. And you find what it is you're truly passionate and good about was essentially the crux. It's very important. Yeah. Yeah. It was honestly great advice and you
Christy Lee
found it because you're really good at what you do.
Josh Arnold
Oh, gosh. Would you tell me what it is
Tom Griswold
that led to a discussion about if you're a terrible singer but you still sing in the car? If you're driving in the car with some.
Chick McGee
I think that's okay. If you're a terrible singer and you still sing.
Josh Arnold
I agree. That's not really what my dad was getting at.
Tom Griswold
No, but if. If you are a terrible singer and you were pursuing a career as a singer, someone needs to pull you over and go, this. Maybe this isn't for you.
Josh Arnold
After a certain amount of time, maybe dream squash, you got to give him a couple years.
Chick McGee
I don't know how a person who can't sing would think they can sing.
Tom Griswold
Oh, oh. You know what I mean? There are many.
Josh Arnold
But they do, don't they?
Chick McGee
Yeah, they really do.
Josh Arnold
Which just tells me it's in their heart. You can't. What are you going to do? You can't rip it out of their heart. Right.
Chick McGee
They're hearing it differently than. Than anyone else is.
Tom Griswold
But at some point you go, hey, look, this. This isn't going to work. You're not.
Christy Lee
Why don't you just let find out on their own?
Tom Griswold
Well, that's it. At some point, someone's got to pull you over and go, hey, look, maybe. Maybe heart surgery isn't for you.
Josh Arnold
Do you know you've lost.
Tom Griswold
The funeral's Thursday.
Chick McGee
Do you feel like you're that guy for many people, that you need to give them a wake up call?
Josh Arnold
Tom's too polite.
Chick McGee
No, I. I think he really kind of enjoys it, actually.
Tom Griswold
No, I don't do that. But I think I should on occasion.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Christy Lee
Around at it.
Tom Griswold
I had a recent Uber driver that
Josh Arnold
shouldn't have been doing that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I. I've had nothing but great experiences. But this guy.
Josh Arnold
Was it the driving or personality?
Tom Griswold
Oh, I don't care about the personality.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
It was the. It was the driver driving.
Josh Arnold
That's no good.
Tom Griswold
Like to get to the airport alive.
Chick McGee
Have you ever. Have you ever had the driver that accelerates and decelerates? Accelerates. I had that on the. On a trip to the air not that long ago, and I thought I was gonna vomit. Yeah, it was rough.
Tom Griswold
But back to singing in the car.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Got this nice letter from Ben.
Chick McGee
He says, ben, have a baby.
Tom Griswold
Ben is referencing the topic.
Josh Arnold
This is our buddy Ben from Kalamazoo.
Tom Griswold
No.
Chick McGee
Where in Michigan is he from?
Tom Griswold
He's from Clinton, Indiana. I sing in the truck, writes Ben. I sing in the truck, but only when it's in reverse. I'm a backup singer.
Ace Cosby
You know what? That is pretty darn good.
Tom Griswold
It's worth it. Ben, you are my new favorite listener.
Chick McGee
You got a standing ovation.
Josh Arnold
Very nice.
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, man.
Chick McGee
He's a backup singer.
Tom Griswold
Tom, what is it called? 20ft from stardom. Okay, let's check in with it. Let's check in with history. All right, ladies and gentlemen,
Christy Lee
every time I hear the word Ben, I think of that song about the rat.
Chick McGee
You mean Bend Over?
Josh Arnold
No, that's not Ben and Willard. Is it Michael Jackson? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
I believe Willard was the first. Ben was in Willard, right?
Tom Griswold
Terrible movie. What was Michael Jackson in? The Producer's Son
Josh Arnold
Upset. I almost.
Chick McGee
Hey, well, hang on, hang on. We haven't heard from this guy in a while. Hey, hey, Loon. What did you think of that? Oh, he liked it.
Josh Arnold
There is the old joke of Michael. It has something to do with Michael Jackson on the beach. Excuse me. You're in my son. I forget exactly what.
Tom Griswold
We get it. Yeah. Let's see now.
Chick McGee
So we're just forgetting.
Tom Griswold
What is today? May 7th. Here we go. Oh, this is interesting because we were talking about the first presidential inauguration. Because it didn't used to be. What is it now, in February?
Ace Cosby
January.
Tom Griswold
January, whatever. It's earlier in the year. It's a different month.
Chick McGee
Once again, how did you get into Columbia?
Tom Griswold
I faked my way. I faked my way in and out of college.
Chick McGee
Damn.
Tom Griswold
1789, the first US. The first US presidential inaugural ball was held where?
Christy Lee
Virginia.
Josh Arnold
White House ballroom.
Chick McGee
Stuckies off I15, New York City.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Chick. I appreciate this is no time for levity.
Chick McGee
Like the rest of the show prevailed.
Tom Griswold
I saw this article that said politicians are less masculine today. Did you see this?
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And I totally agree.
Christy Lee
I agree.
Tom Griswold
These guys are wearing powder wigs, doing the minuet.
Josh Arnold
Where are Teddy Roosevelts?
Chick McGee
Oh, that's.
Josh Arnold
These guys who can cross their legs all the way.
Tom Griswold
There's a. There's not a photograph, obviously, but there's. There's a drawing of the first. Wait a minute.
Chick McGee
If I can cross my legs all the way, does that sound less of a man that.
Josh Arnold
Look at the way. Yeah, yeah, he can do it.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Josh Arnold
What a.
Tom Griswold
Okay, now can we get back? There's a famous drawing. Not a painting, a drawing of the first inaugural ball. You've probably seen. It's in a museum.
Chick McGee
And there was a ground swell to have the capital in New York City because that's where all the people were.
Josh Arnold
Was it New Amsterdam, then.
Tom Griswold
No, no. The larger point is in this famous drawing of the first inaugural ball, you can see a very young. A very young Joe Biden. Biden.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yes.
Tom Griswold
Let's see.
Josh Arnold
How about playing under the table?
Tom Griswold
He was a bus boy even then.
Chick McGee
He was taking a nap.
Tom Griswold
Okay, we have Ludwig van Ludwig. Is it ludwig? Your Ludwig, 1824.
Chick McGee
He also invented the drones.
Tom Griswold
The Ninth Symphony premiered in Vienna.
Christy Lee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
So it's kind of sad to think there are more Saw movies than there are Beethoven symphonies. The kind of culture we live in are fast and furious iterations. Now, this is what's interesting in 8. In 1965, Keith Richard wrote the famous opening riff for the song Satisfaction. I Can't get no. And Perenn. Satisfaction. You know the whole story about that. He was. He dreamt it and he woke up and Don't Believe it was on a
Chick McGee
tape on the plane.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he was on a tape and he played it back and he heard.
Josh Arnold
Believe his drug addled memories.
Ace Cosby
No dreams at all at that stage.
Chick McGee
Ed Sullivan didn't want him to. Or CBS didn't want him to sing I Can't get no Satisfaction.
Josh Arnold
That was the Doors.
Tom Griswold
Light My Fire, by the way. Tonight on Jimmy Fallon, it's Keith Richards. Right?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And then what Monday will be Birthday Game.
Chick McGee
Are they playing on that insightful show?
Tom Griswold
I know some people that know Keith. Keith, you know, you've met him, I mean, a couple times. Yeah. He's a great guy, everyone. He's a wonderful. And Ronnie Wood. Same thing. Ed. Was it Edvard Monk or Monk Edvard Monk. The Scream was recovered on this date in 1980. 1994, after being missing for three months. It's okay. Tom, your harassment that's making my.
Josh Arnold
Do you like the. You like that painting?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
I kind of do, too.
Chick McGee
It's odd and weird and it talks to me. It speaks to me.
Tom Griswold
It. It says to me a sequel to Home Alone.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Christy Lee
Okay. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't know what this.
Chick McGee
That was a putt, wasn't it?
Tom Griswold
2015. Do you remember this? Captain William Kids. They found a silver ingot in Madagascar.
Josh Arnold
Isn't that something?
Chick McGee
Why did you say it? Madagascar.
Tom Griswold
Madagascar. How do you pronounce it?
Chick McGee
Madagascar.
Tom Griswold
Madagascar. Okay.
Chick McGee
I think the pirates called it Madagascar
Tom Griswold
and it was full of escaped zoo animals talking. Let's see.
Josh Arnold
You sound like David Schwimmer.
Tom Griswold
Okay, now this is for you, Josh. Since yesterday or the day before, this guy was also in history. Pyotr Tchaikovsky Ilyich.
Chick McGee
You know what?
Josh Arnold
You tell him I've got the blues It's.
Tom Griswold
How do you spell his first name? His version of Peter.
Chick McGee
Would you roll over and give Beethoven the news? What is that? Right?
Tom Griswold
1840.
Josh Arnold
I always just say Peter. I just figured that's how they spelled Peter then.
Tom Griswold
But it's P Y, O, T, R. Right? Peter.
Josh Arnold
But I really do think it's.
Chick McGee
Yes, it is.
Tom Griswold
Do you ever play air baton while listening to classical music or am I the only one?
Ace Cosby
You're the only one.
Chick McGee
Somebody wanted to know what happened. An email this morning. What happened to your baton?
Tom Griswold
I got it.
Chick McGee
They really miss it. Start using it again.
Josh Arnold
Wiener in the show.
Tom Griswold
Shower. P Y, O, T, R. Christy, I'd
Chick McGee
like to get a little.
Christy Lee
I'm a big classical music fan. I listen to it a lot.
Tom Griswold
But I don't like Tchaikovsky. Famous for the Nutcracker. I'm surprised a guy would write the Nutcracker.
Chick McGee
I can't say.
Tom Griswold
You know, as a kid, he never was able to get a license plate for his bicycle.
Josh Arnold
It's not a shame.
Chick McGee
Hey, Tom. Christie. Christie. This is a classic.
Christy Lee
I do. But I still determine if it's Beethoven or Bach.
Tom Griswold
Who said this town ain't big enough for the both of us?
Chick McGee
Gary Cooper.
Tom Griswold
Very good. Gary Cooper in the Virginian. Happy birthday. Born in 1901. Perhaps known best as a name drop in Young Frankenstein. Gary Cooper. Super Duper Night.
Christy Lee
You are good at this.
Josh Arnold
You like High Noon?
Chick McGee
No. There are people at Trivia Night Night.
Tom Griswold
Oh, have you seen. They're doing a biopic of Gary Cooper.
Ace Cosby
Oh, they are?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, with Peter Dinklage. It's called Mini Cooper.
Josh Arnold
Mini Cooper.
Pat Godwin
You know what?
Ace Cosby
That's pretty funny.
Pat Godwin
Come on.
Ace Cosby
May be offensive, but I found it.
Tom Griswold
Like, I've lost my place.
Ace Cosby
You got Heckle all through that.
Tom Griswold
Okay. You know who this is? Josh Edwin lamb. Born in 1909.
Josh Arnold
Yes. He created the Land's End catalog.
Tom Griswold
Good guess. He co founded Polaroid.
Chick McGee
Polaroid Land. Yes.
Tom Griswold
So. I mean, before that.
Josh Arnold
I thought that was something Eskimos would
Tom Griswold
get in their ass instead of hemorrhoid. Okay, Very good.
Chick McGee
Very.
Tom Griswold
I mean, he. The Polaroid is.
Josh Arnold
I'm killing with Lee over here.
Tom Griswold
The. The Polaroid. Back in the day. That was Polaroid. That was your home porno. I mean.
Josh Arnold
Yes. If somebody's buying a Polaroid camera today.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Josh Arnold
They're on a list.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Ok. You.
Chick McGee
But you could still get like the pictures and you can get the whole outfit, man.
Tom Griswold
Still wasn't there a dance. Do the Polaroid where you're shaking your hand? No.
Chick McGee
Let's shake it like. Yeah. Yeah, that's out. That's outcast. It's a great.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's, that's it.
Chick McGee
Very good.
Tom Griswold

Josh Arnold
It's important.
Chick McGee
There's Chrissy, there's Pat Godwin. There's Josh Arnold, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Now it's time to get to a new segment. Words you can't say in the radio that we can now say in the radio because of the nature of this story.
Chick McGee
Luckily, you haven't built.
Tom Griswold
I'm positive this is legitimate. I've googled everything. I've done my homework.
Chick McGee
Hey, I'm gay.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, me too.
Christy Lee
A pair of blue tits have sparked a hubbub at a pub in Essex, England.
Tom Griswold
Read it slower.
Josh Arnold
Your bra is too tight.
Chick McGee
Why? Why too tight?
Josh Arnold
Heard a blue vein before.
Chick McGee
Oh, you like the blue veiner, don't you?
Josh Arnold
Do you like a blue.
Tom Griswold
Could we get. This is an important story.
Christy Lee
The blue tits were apparently shacking up inside a wall mounted ashtray at the pub. They are of course, a bird. Staff at the Mulberry Tree pub discovered the tiny bird's nest in early April while cleaning outdoor ashtrays. Instead of removing it, workers quickly taped off the area, posted a warning sign to protect the birds while they raised their chicks.
Tom Griswold
Their chicks.
Chick McGee
They raised their chick cheeks.
Tom Griswold
You want to explain what the blue tit is?
Christy Lee
Yes. The blue tits are small, colorful songbirds common across the uk.
Josh Arnold
I thought it was when women get turned on and then you just stop doing things with Them and then they get blue tip.
Chick McGee
It can happen.
Josh Arnold
They get the bird. Yeah.
Christy Lee
The small birds are known for nesting in tight sheltered spaces including tree holes, mailboxes, pipes and unusual man made spots like flower pots or the before mentioned ashtray.
Josh Arnold
TI Tree hole Pub. Smack.
Christy Lee
Monitored the nest for several weeks. Said the birds appeared healthy and undisturbed despite the busy beer garden nearby. The blue tit chicks. Don't.
Tom Griswold
Lower your voice. You can say it. Give it a full throated.
Chick McGee
No.
Josh Arnold
She was trying. Blue tit chicks. Isn't that easy to say.
Christy Lee
Yes, I was just trying to.
Tom Griswold
You just which, by the way, Blue tit chicks is a. Is a band. They only play red states. Oddly enough.
Chick McGee
That is odd.
Christy Lee
The chicks successfully hatched and later left the nest safely.
Josh Arnold
So now we got some smaller blue tits.
Chick McGee
Tits?
Christy Lee
Yes. Little baby blue tits, you know.
Tom Griswold
You ever see blue tits in an ashtray at a pub? Somebody's drunk.
Josh Arnold
What about last time I saw blue tits? It was a wet T shirt contest in Anchorage.
Chick McGee
The baby blue tits are called titlets, aren't they?
Pat Godwin
I think so.
Christy Lee
Are they?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Titlets
Chick McGee
we have.
Tom Griswold
So if it's an ashtray. If it's an ashtray, you've got your tits in your butt.
Josh Arnold
Butts. That's right.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. What are those tits doing to those butts?
Chick McGee
That's what they say.
Christy Lee
I'm sure you have tufted tits that visit your bird feeder, right?
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Very common in our area.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I guess the blue tit is a protected species.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
There they, aren't they?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're like kind of like a canary with a blue head.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Chick McGee
Are they blue? I don't see the blue on the vet.
Tom Griswold
That crown the head. See, there's the stripe by the eye. Then there's a blue blue crown.
Chick McGee
It's a blue jay.
Tom Griswold
A yellow belly. No, no, it's.
Chick McGee
What'd you call me?
Josh Arnold
He called you a yellow belly.
Chick McGee
Yellow. Hey, underpants. Hey, yellow belly.
Josh Arnold
Hey, liver lips.
Tom Griswold
So they're nesting. Don't, don't, don't. The nesting blue tits sound like an improv group in Chicago.
Chick McGee
I think it sounds like a sex move.
Christy Lee
Pat has a song?
Ace Cosby
No, my friend does. We'll get him in here a little. Frank Sinatra hasn't been around a long time.
Tom Griswold
Frank's well known for his love. Love of birds. Very much so. What?
Ace Cosby

Josh Arnold
Not that I'm aware of.

Tom Griswold
There's got to be some AI created porno with the Avatar movie people.
Chick McGee
Alien having sex with aliens and stuff.
Tom Griswold

Josh Arnold
Yes, they have.
Christy Lee
Metropolitan Opera. Does it?
Tom Griswold
Yes. You can go to a local theater and see. That makes sense.
Josh Arnold
But I don't know if those were live, honestly. Were they?
Christy Lee
I don't know if they were live or not either.
Josh Arnold
Sometimes the plays are not live, but they're. You're watching a live.
Chick McGee
Yeah, you're right.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But. So this is going to be.
Christy Lee
That's going to be lies.
Tom Griswold
I hate the world. The word in real time. But in other words, that's what they mean. Those are three words. So as it's happening, you know, I meant the phrase starting new dick. That's two words. Very nice.
Josh Arnold
He's on fire.
Chick McGee
Hey, say what you mean. Mini Cooper. Okay.

Josh Arnold
B.B. rex is famous. It's just not in our sphere.
Christy Lee
She's blonde and June 20th, Maren Morris.
Josh Arnold
She's about £80 too heavy for Tom, and she's not considered fat.
Chick McGee
She's a. She's a whole person. Bigger than Tom would like.
Tom Griswold
I've. I've honestly never heard of her.
Christy Lee
What about Maren Morris?
Tom Griswold
Never heard of.
Josh Arnold
I have not heard of that.
Christy Lee
A guy or a. I have no idea. I've never heard of them. But it's June 20th.
Tom Griswold
Why wouldn't they be launching with. I don't know, somebody.
Josh Arnold
Because they're trying to. They're getting 16 year old girls to go to the movie theater.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay.
Christy Lee
Prices will range from 40 to $75.
Josh Arnold
Oh, now that's not cool.
Christy Lee
No, it's not cool.
Tom Griswold
Well, I mean, a concert that wouldn't pay for your. Yeah, but you know, the ticket you
Chick McGee
don't have to pay parking, presumably, but
Josh Arnold
it's got to be 20 bucks.
Christy Lee
You're trying to get kids in the theater.
Josh Arnold
Well, because an IMAX theater, and I know this isn't necess IMAX, but you're going to probably pay 20 bucks for an evening ticket, right? You gotta. If you're going to just do this at the movie theater simulcast, just do it.
Chick McGee
Charge the regular for the.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, but they're poor movie theaters, man. They are really trying to figure it out.
Chick McGee
Hey, just for me and Josh and the rest of you can look too. This is BB Rexa. There she is.
Josh Arnold
I mean, I love her.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What's her music music like?
Josh Arnold
I probably don't love that.
Chick McGee
I. I have no idea what it's her music like, but that's BB Rexo right there.
Tom Griswold
She looks like the heaviest one in the Spice Girls. No, no, in the Runaways.
Chick McGee
Well, if you were Spice Girl, she'd be human. Is that anything human?
Tom Griswold
She'd be butter.
Chick McGee
The only spice I can think
Josh Arnold
now. Chick and I look at her and go, go. That's about right. Tom goes,
Chick McGee
oh my God, there's a stage that.
Tom Griswold
She's back. She may be lovely. I don't know. I'm just glad that she's playing in.
Chick McGee
I don't think she's lovely at all.
Tom Griswold
Are you sure it's pronounced Litz, Pennsylvania.
Christy Lee
Pretty sure.
Josh Arnold
You doubt lit. It's over latitude.
Tom Griswold
I'd run for mayor. Just. I'm the mayor of Latitz, Pennsylvania.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
L. What is it?
Christy Lee
L, I, L I T I T Z Litz.
Josh Arnold
That's absolutely lit. It's.
Tom Griswold
It shouldn't be.
Chick McGee
Hey, do you think a male chicken has ever stood between two blue tits?
Josh Arnold
I. I'd like to think that's happened.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I know.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That the blue tit. Once again, a bird. Okay, I'm sorry.
Josh Arnold
Don't you think now when one of the. Yeah, you gotta be careful. This is too thin a tightrope.
Chick McGee
No, no, go ahead. I regret starting.
Christy Lee
A recent survey reveals how far people are willing to travel for a first date. According to the Dating News survey.
Chick McGee
I'm going to say round back is what I'm going to say round back.
Christy Lee
90% of singles set distance limits on dating apps. That makes sense.
Tom Griswold
That's right. I mean, do you ever buy stuff you're searching for, like a truck or something, and you'll say, how far will you drive to get it right? And you can say, you know, anywhere in usa or you can go three miles.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So this is the same. So if you're looking for a date, you go, I'm willing to drive 10 minutes.
Christy Lee
Yeah. 60% said they won't travel more than 30 minutes for a first date. I think 30 minutes is the lowest.
Tom Griswold
Is there? I have a question, though. Is that. Does that vary based on the perceived success rate of, you know, in other words, oh, how sure thing, how attractive she might be, or it has to
Christy Lee
be 30% ended a relationship because distance or transportation made dating inconvenient.
Josh Arnold
I know on my Tinder profile, it says I will when I. You know, you can search for certain types over the age of 30. I search within 10 miles between 19 and 30. 700 miles.
Tom Griswold
This is why Epstein had his own plane.
Christy Lee
Oh, my God.
Chick McGee
That would cut down on some problems.
Christy Lee
And in long distance relationships, the biggest complaint, one partner always having to make the trip. Some older traditions still hold up, though, with women more likely to ride in a date's car than men. So would you not like a woman to pick you up on a date?
Josh Arnold
Oh, I'd be. I would be fine with that.
Chick McGee
I have a long backstory, though. But I wouldn't like that because my mother had her driver's license. My father never did drive, so the emasculation continued in the car. So I have a real block.
Josh Arnold
I prefer to drive so that she doesn't have to worry about it. But if she would feel more comfortable with having control of her own car on a first date. Absolutely.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Christy Lee
You are. So.
Josh Arnold
Don't you want her to feel comfortable? Like she can kick me out at any time and go home?
Christy Lee
Right.
Chick McGee
Huh.
Tom Griswold
The percentage of men that will let a woman drive on the first date is 3%.
Ace Cosby
Yep, 3%.
Josh Arnold
So I just think it's more chivalrous to drive.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah. What do you think the percentages of men who think women are bad drivers?
Christy Lee
100%.
Tom Griswold
No, no. We don't want the facts. We want.
Chick McGee
It's gonna be your perception of crazy high.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's changed for me, man.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. The phone in cars has changed. Everyone's a bad driver now.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Tom Griswold
So, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Now ask me. Percentage of men or women doing the right thing at a four way. Stop.
Tom Griswold
Stop.
Christy Lee
I don't think people Know, do you sit there and go, what the heck?
Chick McGee
Isn't it the to your right? Don't you supposed to.
Tom Griswold
No, it's the person who gets there first.
Christy Lee
It's the first one to leave.
Josh Arnold
Nobody looks more confused than a woman at a four way stop. The only woman who's confident a four way stop is the who's going when
Tom Griswold
it's not her turn.
Christy Lee
Wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
Not wrong.
Christy Lee
I can handle a four way stop.
Chick McGee
You can be elected.
Ace Cosby
You can barely handle public office.
Chick McGee
Just that sentence.
Josh Arnold
And Christy, I know you think you can handle a four way stop.
Christy Lee
Oh, I know I can.
Tom Griswold
So the larger point here is that what was the percentage of people that they're, they're, they're essentially, they're limiting it to 30 minutes?
Christy Lee
Yeah, 61%.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Yeah. I'd like to see this, an experiment done where they, they look at different photographs and say, okay, how far?
Josh Arnold
You know, it makes a difference.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. For men and women, or it might even be the content of the body.
Christy Lee
But you wouldn't see the people if you put in 30 minutes, if you only put in 30 miles, you would never see those pictures. Do you see what I'm saying?
Tom Griswold
You could do an experiment though. How far would you drive? Then you show them a series of pictures.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. So, yeah, you're right. That's interesting. So it's, hey, blind 30 minutes. But here, take a look at her. Now how far would you drive or take a look at him?
Tom Griswold
And if you're staying 100 miles through fire and if, if you're in Los Angeles. Angeles. Well, 30 minutes. Oh, so within a mile.
Christy Lee
Yeah. No joke.
Chick McGee
And what was the percentage of men who were comfortable letting women drive?
Tom Griswold
3%. 3% on a first date, letting the woman drive.
Chick McGee
Wow. It's worse than.
Tom Griswold
I just, I'd forgotten that your dad never drove and you didn't live in a big city.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
How did your dad get anywhere?
Chick McGee
He walked everywhere. He walked everywhere or got a ride with somebody. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
That's kind of. That's pretty awesome.
Tom Griswold
Awesome. Why did he choose not to drive?
Chick McGee
I don't know. It. It really scared him. Yeah. He did not know. He didn't want to be behind the wheel. I don't know what had happened when he was a kid.
Tom Griswold
There are a couple serious people I know that don't drive.
Ace Cosby
My brother doesn't drive.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Which one?
Ace Cosby
New York. James the artist.
Tom Griswold
Well, in New York, it's, that's a different Woody Allen.
Ace Cosby
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah. James is an artist. And you're not. I, I'm sorry, was that. Did I say that out loud?
Tom Griswold
You did. I'm wondering if the 3% of men. Men who would want a woman to drive in the.
Christy Lee
Don't have a car.
Tom Griswold
Oh. If they all are, they've just experienced a DUI and can't drive. That is a really low number.
Chick McGee
I didn't think it was stunning. I mean, I suspected that, but.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And. And, yeah.
Chick McGee
And if you take 3% either way. But I think it's for the poll, it's still closer to zero.
Josh Arnold
It's a. I don't think it's. Men being awful for the most part.
Christy Lee
Perceived. That's how it works.
Josh Arnold
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
The phrase was something like certain traditions do seem to continue.
Christy Lee
Right.
Josh Arnold
Because I would bet. And that's. Those same guys want to pay.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
So it's. You know what percent of men want the woman to buy dinner? It's probably close to 3%.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You think they're. That's a thing?
Chick McGee
You think? Oh, absolutely.
Josh Arnold
I'm not having a woman pay on the first date. Are you kidding?
Chick McGee
Well, unless there's something going on in the parking lot before we get to the restaurant.
Tom Griswold
Well, no, that'll be just the opposite. You know, she.
Josh Arnold
I like this.
Tom Griswold
She can. She can. She can break one of the hundred dollar bills Josh gave her in the parking lot. Hey, baby, return the favor. I'm getting the chili.
Josh Arnold
As much of a privilege as I believe going on a date with me is. Yeah, I'm still paying. And I let her know that this
Tom Griswold
needs to be a T shirt.
Chick McGee
Let her know that that's what you need to do. Josh, if you ever start dating again, have all your thoughts on T shirts and just keep changing your T shirt throughout the year.
Ace Cosby
Back in the bathroom.
Josh Arnold
That's hilarious.
Chick McGee
Isn't that a great idea?
Josh Arnold
How has that not been a sketch before?
Tom Griswold
Ah, so at every time you come out, you've got a different slogan on your T shirt.
Chick McGee
I don't want to be here. I'm enjoying my time.
Josh Arnold
These fries are mine. Mine.
Ace Cosby
She goes, what's that T shirt?
Tom Griswold
You go, oh, I just.
Ace Cosby
Someone gave it to me. It doesn't mean anything. Then you come back from the bathroom.
Josh Arnold
Right, right, right, right, Exactly.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Josh Arnold
I don't know why you're so obsessed with my T shirts. These are. These are just the radio. Yeah, yeah, I want it.
Chick McGee
I mean, I don't. I don't really have the money to dress up as you.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Tom Griswold
Then you come out bored. It's on the front yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
What about that? I signed up for a credit card. This is what they gave me.
Tom Griswold
This has to be. This can be done easily.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
What about sharing your food? Do you share your food?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Christy Lee
But you don't like to.
Josh Arnold
No, of course, of course.
Christy Lee
There are a lot of people who don't like to share.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I think it's fun. Hey, can I have a couple of your fries? Whatever. You wouldn't do that in the first date.
Christy Lee
No, I would on the first date.
Chick McGee
Absolutely not.
Christy Lee
I don't think I would do it on a first date.
Tom Griswold
It's not like you're taking your spoon, dipping it into her chili and.
Chick McGee
Excuse me, is that considered a faux pas? But when you say chili, you mean on the table? Is that the chili on the table?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
I was watching the. I don't know if anybody's watching. No, the show Running Point with Kate Hudson, and it's based loosely on the Los Angeles Lakers and.
Tom Griswold
Oh, she's Jeannie Buss.
Christy Lee
Yes, essentially. And the ick factor came up in the episode last night. One of the guys got the ick. He goes, you know what the ick is? And the guy goes, yeah. And he goes, man, I got the ick. Walked away.
Tom Griswold
That what that means is he or she says something, and they be like, I gotta get out.
Christy Lee
This is not gonna.
Tom Griswold
This is not gonna work.
Chick McGee
Okay, here's another great idea. Have Tom do the audio commentary of whatever show you're watching, and he can explain to you.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Chick McGee
Different words and phrases that are used during the episode.
Tom Griswold
I didn't know what the ick was, so we had the story last week.
Chick McGee
There you go.
Tom Griswold
Is that commonly known? Yes.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It has been around.
Josh Arnold
We were actually kind of late to the party on it, but because I
Tom Griswold
thought ick was something you. Your aquarium got.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Your goldfish get it.
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Chick McGee
I never heard of ick as far as disease. Huh.
Tom Griswold
Now, what's. Coming up, Christy Lee?
Christy Lee
Coming up, we're going to talk about. If somebody you loved passed on, would you like an AI Digital replica?
Josh Arnold
That's a fair question. Question.
Chick McGee
Absolutely not.
Tom Griswold
Well, in this context, it's not just that. It's also.
Christy Lee
Okay, let's say an ex girlfriend.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Somebody you want to keep around. You broke. She broke up.
Tom Griswold
You break up with your girlfriend and you can create.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
A audio version of her that you can talk to.
Josh Arnold
Seems much more emotionally and mentally problematic.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
A side piece, if you will. That's AI.
Christy Lee
Yeah. There you go. That's very.
Announcer
Well.
Tom Griswold
No, it's more of it's your ex,
Christy Lee
but it's your These. It's still your side piece if it's
Tom Griswold
your ex, but it's still mentally.
Josh Arnold
Well, boy, people get mad when you look at your ex's social media. Can you imagine if they came home and you were talking to an AI version?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And you know the AI version. You've trained her to start bitching about your current.
Ace Cosby
Oh, no, that comes naturally.
Tom Griswold
She walks in.
Chick McGee
You never let me do that.
Tom Griswold
So Natalie's here. I. I can smell her through the speaker.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no.
Chick McGee
Shut up.
Tom Griswold

Chick McGee
You know, they should have named what's dad's name.
Tom Griswold
Donovan's the dad.
Chick McGee
I thought maybe if they had twins, they could be Whelen and Willie, I guess.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that'd be great.
Chick McGee
It's too late for that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, if they had triplets, they could. Willie and the boys building up Luckenbach, Texas. They got a six car garage they're still building on. Steven Singer.

Good to see you. You're very funny.

We have, we have Christy Lee, of course, at her post.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Over there at the news desk. And we covered everything. Is there anything we missed?
Chick McGee
No.
Christy Lee
A controversial trend in China involves young people using AI to create digital. Digital, I can't talk today. Digital replicas of their exes. According to the South China Morning Post, users upload chat logs, social media posts and photos to generate avatars that mimic a former's partner's voice, voice tone and personality, allowing the relationship to feel like it's still ongoing.
Josh Arnold
This is not good.
Christy Lee
Troubling supporters say the technology offers a new way to cope with breakups.
Chick McGee
I don't know that it does, Connors.
Christy Lee
It critics warn it raises concern about privacy, emotional dependency, and even a form of infidelity.
Tom Griswold
This isn't. I know. They're also doing it for the deceased. Yeah.
Christy Lee
That. We talked about that before.
Josh Arnold
That is, you know.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Ace Cosby
It's a little different.
Josh Arnold
It is a little different. It might not be for us, but it. I get why somebody might want that.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So you, you, so your ex girlfriend, you can talk to her now, back and forth with an AI.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I think it's a little. It's. I. Nothing I would ever do.
Chick McGee
I think people who say yes to this us aren't really up to speed on how realistic AI is. That's what I think.
Josh Arnold
Oh.
Tom Griswold
But I mean it's, it's getting. Yeah. I mean you can have a. Conversations. There's also some horrible things that have happened with people doing it.
Chick McGee
Well, the Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt fight that they put up online and Tom Cruise, they put Tom Cruise Running into all the movies that have. Running it. So he's running. Besides Sylvester Stallone and Rocky and it looks like. Oh yeah, that's crazy.
Tom Griswold
But I mean, is it. But you could have a. You could have a version of your mother. You could go back and forth with speaking to her even though she's been deceased for quite some time.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
And you could train her to be. However, you could have.
Chick McGee
Can I ask you a question?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Christy Lee
You could be nice to me.
Tom Griswold
I could have picked anyone in the room.
Chick McGee
You could have picked anyone in the room and said that to anybody else.
Christy Lee
Don't talk to me about it. I would.
Tom Griswold
I'd have to do me because you're. My mother is deceased and lovely.
Chick McGee
And I think it's fair to say, you honor your mother. You had a wonderful relationship.
Josh Arnold
But.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I. That would just be creepy. I wouldn't.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I would. I prefer recollecting talking with people about them memories.
Tom Griswold
But this thing is, they're recreating an ex girlfriend or an ex boyfriend and talking to them as if they're still in good standing doesn't seem healthy. You gave me the clap and now I'm talking you on chat std.
Josh Arnold
Well, you're having fun over there.
Chick McGee
See, you're making jokes. We're trying to solve problems.
Christy Lee
Experts add that relying on AI versions of past partners could make it harder to build healthy real world relationships.
Josh Arnold
That's what Josh said, of course.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I mean that's.
Chick McGee
You don't do it like my AI girlfriend.
Josh Arnold
Well, even having an AI girlfriend you make up, you create you sort of weird science her. That's even somewhat healthier than what this is. I, I don't.
Tom Griswold
That's still. That's not healthy.
Josh Arnold
Well, yeah, I don't know.
Tom Griswold
It's the way people watch news now.
Josh Arnold
How so?
Tom Griswold
Well, you're going to create a girlfriend that is only what you want to hear, is what she's going to tell you. And that's how people watch the news now. They pick their news based on what they want to hear.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
Regardless of what's actually happening.
Josh Arnold
You know, news hasn't totally given us a choice though, have they? Because the people who are doing the not slanted, unbiased news, no one's watching. So it's. So they shut down and. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Fair and balanced and low ratings.
Christy Lee
We're gonna wrap up today with an Anthony Bourdain biopic is slated for a theatrical release this summer. It's called Tony and depicts a 19 year old Bourdain played by Dominic Seycin. Is that how you say his name? Traveling to Providencetown, Massachusetts, where he stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Produced by A24, directed by Matt Johnson, who also made BlackBerry and the Nirvana, the band, the show, the Movie Tony is set to hit theaters in August.
Chick McGee
BlackBerry is a great movie.
Tom Griswold
And Pat, you said Nirvana, the band, the show, the movie, which is not about the musical band from Seattle known as Nirvana. No. Right. It's about, about something else.
Ace Cosby
Two guys from Toronto, you said it's
Tom Griswold
the best movie you've seen all year.
Ace Cosby
All year, yeah. Most ch. Best movie, yeah.
Tom Griswold
So this guy's making a. It's a, A short bit of the. What they imagine the life of Anthony Bourdain was like then. So it's not about him. Not about the famous chef, you said.

I know.
Ace Cosby
Yes.
Chick McGee
No, they are two thumbs up.
Josh Arnold
No, but they did stars in their own tribunes or the Chicago Tribune in the.
Tom Griswold
This, this Tony thing could be interesting. Anthony Bourdain was a super interesting guy
Chick McGee

Tom Griswold
He, he, he wrote a couple novels and so it might be fun.
Chick McGee
You liked him and that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.

This episode of The BOB & TOM Show balances classic, fast-paced morning comedy with news, sports, music, and listener interaction. The hosts riff on everything from nostalgic shop class memories and soda preferences to world records for physical feats and the oddities of modern technology. Notably, the crew gets excited about news stories that allow them to say words usually banned on radio—namely "blue tit" (the bird) and the Pennsylvania town of Lititz—leading to some gleefully juvenile wordplay.
Hosts:
Tone:
Conversational, irreverent, nostalgic, friendly banter with frequent detours into absurdity and pop-cultural rabbit holes. The show maintains a rhythm of segments punctuated by running jokes, musical spoofs, and raucous debates.
Pat delivers an extended Bob Dylan impression to pitch “Breathe All Right” nasal strips, singing Dylan-esque versions of classic lyrics. Chick McGee joins in, escalating the bit.
Quote:
“You know, just like the ones that all the football players wear. I can breathe better and just listen to me sing. Here, let me put this thing on.” – Pat Godwin as Dylan (01:44)
Hosts riff on “Coke float” stories—shifting from innocent soda floats to the recent record-setting cocaine bust in Europe, then launching into a “Coke in the Boat” musical spoof.
Quote:
“You talk about a Coke float. This was tons of floating cocaine.” – Tom Griswold (07:20)
A nostalgic discussion about shop and art class (“kiln day,” making ashtrays, and the dangers of lathes) blossoms into listener letters about hiding “stash” in woodwork projects and being asked to leave art class for lack of talent.
Quote:
“I got kicked out of typing class for being a smart aleck. Can you imagine?” – Chick McGee (21:05)
The team is gleeful to cover a story about blue tits (songbirds), spent riffing on the double entendre for several minutes, singing about them, and analyzing how often they can say “blue tit chicks” without getting in trouble. Also riffing on “Lititz” Pennsylvania and its pronunciation.
A story about Chinese users uploading data to AI to replicate ex-girlfriends or loved ones prompts robust discussion about grief, emotional health, and privacy. Quote:
“This isn’t healthy. You gave me the clap and now I’m talking to you on ChatSTD.” – Tom Griswold (159:03)
AMC will simulcast live concerts from a stage in Lititz, PA. The word “Lititz” leads to much adolescent delight. Hosts question why the series begins with less well-known acts and muse on the price point for these events.
Discussion of singing ability, car singalongs, and Josh’s father’s wise advice:
Quote:
“You don’t have to be good at everything. There are other people who can be good at those things for you.” – Josh Arnold recalling his dad (117:38)
A roundtable debate about whether families are “Coke” or “Pepsi” families, 1970s sodas, sneaking “Diet Rite” under the bed, and ice cream floats.
Listeners recall art projects, hiding contraband, making clay pipes or secret "stash" drawers, and teachers with notorious disciplinary techniques (like hurling wooden blocks at misbehaving students).
Listener Ben from Clinton, IN, writes:
“I sing in the truck, but only when it’s in reverse. I’m a backup singer.”
Listener Donovan from Iowa shares the birth of his son Waylon. Tom reads the letter with gusto and sidetracks the conversation into Waylon Jennings and ventriloquist acts.
Quote:
“After months of waiting, sleepless anticipation and excitement, we finally got to meet the little guy today. It doesn’t feel real.” – Donovan (101:33)
Chick recaps NBA and NHL playoff highlights, then Tom and Ace pay tribute to Ted Turner, discussing his baseball promotions, ownership of networks, and conservation efforts. Quote:
“His motto was, early to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise.” – Tom Griswold on Ted Turner (55:56)
Discussion of Aruba’s “human crane” pulling massive weights with mouth or neck, breaking multiple Guinness World Records—including heaviest vehicle pulled by the neck and fastest tram pull with the teeth—leads to rampant speculation, jokes, and confusion about what constitutes a record.
This episode sees The BOB & TOM Show at its best: weaving together personal anecdotes, pop culture trivia, silly musical parodies, sports updates, and delightfully lowbrow wordplay. The hosts reminisce about high school shop classes, debate the etiquette of lawn mowing, and respond generously to a listener’s baby news. Two stories—one about blue tits (the bird), the other about Lititz, PA—provide a pretense for repeatable on-air mischief over words normally taboo for broadcast. Meanwhile, tech topics like AI recreating exes prompt surprisingly sincere discussion about grief and emotional health. Whether waxing nostalgic, riffing on wordplay, or poking at cultural absurdity, the team delivers a rollicking, sometimes rowdy, yet always lighthearted crewcast.
