Summary

The BOB & TOM Show – May 7, 2026

Episode Theme & Overview

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.

Comedy Highlights

Pat Godwin’s Bob Dylan Nasal Strip Parody (01:22–03:42)

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)

"Coke Float" Wordplay and the Cocaine News Story (07:00–09:34)

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)

Shop Class & Art Class Nostalgia (17:47–22:40)

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)

Words You Can Say on the Radio! (129:34–132:41+)

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.

Other Running Gags

• Bumper sticker clichés (ass, gas, or grass)
• Mowing the lawn etiquette and “don’t mow on my day off” song
• Observations on hospital designs (multi-story vs. ranch-style)
• Comfort break euphemisms and bathroom humor

---

Pop Culture, News, and Social Commentary

AI Recreating Exes or the Deceased (156:24–159:22)

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 “Arena One” Live Concert Broadcasts from Lititz, PA (137:55–142:38)

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.

Guilty Musical Pleasures and Car Singalongs (117:21–120:24)

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)

Nostalgia: Cola Wars and Soda Brand Loyalty (05:36–07:00)

A roundtable debate about whether families are “Coke” or “Pepsi” families, 1970s sodas, sneaking “Diet Rite” under the bed, and ice cream floats.

---

Listener Letters & Audience Interaction

Shop and Art Class Memories (17:47–22:31)

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).

“Backup Singer” Joke (119:59–120:14)

Listener Ben from Clinton, IN, writes:

“I sing in the truck, but only when it’s in reverse. I’m a backup singer.”

Heartwarming Baby Announcement (101:21–105:51)

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)

---

Sports Commentary

NBA & NHL Playoffs, Ted Turner Remembrance (47:14–48:53)

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)

World Records and Feats of Strength (89:28–95:31)

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.

---

Memorable Quotes

Blue Tit Bird Story (129:51–132:41)

• Christy Lee: "A pair of blue tits have sparked a hubbub at a pub in Essex, England. The blue tits were apparently shacking up inside a wall mounted ashtray at the pub." (129:51)
• Tom Griswold: “Read it slower…” (129:55)
• Pat Godwin (as Sinatra): “Nesting... nesting blue tits, hatching our ashtray. Nesting blue tits... that guy’s terrible, call NSA!” (133:01)

Wordplay on Lititz, Pennsylvania (137:55–142:38)

• Tom Griswold: “L-I-T-I-T-Z. Yeah, it’s mispronounced… It’s Lititz, Pennsylvania, isn’t it?” (138:17)
• Chick McGee: “Say what you mean, Mini Cooper.” (139:31)

On Coping with Technology and AI

• Tom Griswold: “You’re going to create a girlfriend that is only what you want to hear, what she’s going to tell you. And that’s how people watch the news now.” (159:50)

On Lawn Mowing Etiquette (26:41–29:30)

Summary in Brief for Newcomers

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.

[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.

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?

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.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

Hi there. She's in the News Center. There's Pat Godwin.

[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 [e-mail] we are in the Aurelioto Part studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Announcer]

More of the show is on the way. You can find us on X at Bob and Tom or you can email us at bob and tomobandtom.com

[Tom Griswold]

radio.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios at the news desk. It's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

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.

[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.

[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. What it's all about is you load it with pictures and they are set to rotate. You can put videos in there. Unlimited supply, of course. Unlimited storage. And there's no fee. 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]

Yes, yes, I do.

[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]

Where are my lyrics? They're all the way over here. Who put them all the way over here?

[Josh Arnold]

The broad, crusty broad.

[Ace Cosby]

There we go. Who's on piano making all the clams?

[Chick McGee]

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Some really nice.

[Chick McGee]

Are the Avatars at any point in that movie topless?

[Josh Arnold]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Tom Griswold]

That has to be a sub genre, you know?

[Josh Arnold]

It is.

[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]

That's got to be a thing, huh?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Alien sex.

[Tom Griswold]

That's got to be a fetish.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably. Yeah.

Dress up like once you go gray,

[Chick McGee]

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now. Oh, wait a minute. Look at the time. How'd that happen?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, there are a few titmouse.

[Christy Lee]

There are quite a few tit birds.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Tit birds as far as the eye could see.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. Well, we have another opportunity to play with the American language. With this story coming from Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

AMC Theaters is launching a new live concert experience. According to the website Deadline, the live concert venture, dubbed Area 1, is going to broadcast events in real time to more than 300AMC locations nationwide.

[Josh Arnold]

Smart.

[Christy Lee]

They're coming from a stage in Liditz, Pennsylvania.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, people.

[Tom Griswold]

L I, T, I T. Z. Yeah, it's mispronounced.

[Chick McGee]

I know. I don't know if it was mispronounced on purpose.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Lititz, Pennsylvania, isn't it?

[Ace Cosby]

I didn't hear it pronounced like that.

[Tom Griswold]

That's how you spell L, I, T I, T. Sound like a Frenchman.

[Christy Lee]

Tz Litz it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's lit.

[Josh Arnold]

It's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's lit.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's hits.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well then what a stupid story. I'm not gonna go see.

[Chick McGee]

You can pronounce it. Let tits if you'd like.

[Josh Arnold]

Man Or a leb Man.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

It's from the French part of Pennsylvania, Right, Pat?

[Christy Lee]

Isn't that the Pennsylvania Dutch? Oh, I never heard of it before.

[Chick McGee]

No, you're right.

[Josh Arnold]

What. What concert are they starting with?

[Christy Lee]

Well, here's the thing.

[Tom Griswold]

So I say. So this is. They've been doing this for years with opera, right?

[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.

[Tom Griswold]

Come on.

[Christy Lee]

Starting.

[Tom Griswold]

I was in the wrong. I apologize. Not to Josh, just for being in the wrong.

[Christy Lee]

Arena one at amc Area one. Okay, well, it says Area one in one spot and arena one in another. So is it area or arena?

[Chick McGee]

I bet it's Arena.

[Christy Lee]

Sounds like Arena 1.

[Tom Griswold]

Sense don't make no sense. Area 51.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. That has nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me find out. It's Arena 1. Typos. Sorry.

[Christy Lee]

AMC will debut with performances from. On June 17th, Bebe Rexha.

[Tom Griswold]

Never heard of her.

[Chick McGee]

The B.B.

[Josh Arnold]

rexha chick? She's right up her alley.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Singer.

[Chick McGee]

Looking her up right now.

[Josh Arnold]

I think she's like a content creator slash singer.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

She definitely is a singer.

[Christy Lee]

On June 18th, it's Paris Hilton.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, interesting.

[Josh Arnold]

Doing some music.

[Tom Griswold]

Does she sing?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. What?

[Josh Arnold]

I think two.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, is she good?

[Tom Griswold]

Why aren't they starting with somebody famous?

[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]

Will you shut up right now? I want to say let's talk. Let's talk about somebody. It's a bit everybody loves. It's moms. There's so many great moms out there. We got a new mom we talked about this morning.

[Christy Lee]

Waylon's mom.

[Chick McGee]

The world stopped.

[Tom Griswold]

Waylon, I hope you're still listening and haven't just taken your taking your Donovan. Donovan's the day yet. Donovan. Hope you haven't taken a baseball bat to your smart speaker.

[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.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Hello. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, everybody.

[Chick McGee]

At the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair, There's Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Hello indeed. I'm Chick and hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. It's good to see you, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Good to see you. You're very funny.

[Tom Griswold]

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]

[Ace Cosby]

They're five stars, you know.

[Josh Arnold]

[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]

and I don't read print.

[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.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

He had a rough. He was a heroin addict for a while.
