"I came out of the shower, wanted to initiate sexy time with wife, and I went to Chick's phrase. I said, 'Do you want any of this before I put it away?' To my surprise, my wife chuckled, got up from the couch, and led me straight to the bedroom." [24:11]

3. Controversial Incidents in Sports

a. Dildo Mishaps at WNBA Games
Recent WNBA games have witnessed bizarre incidents where adult toys were thrown onto the court, leading to arrests and league warnings.

4. Radioactive Wasps and Environmental Concerns

[135:54] Christy Lee:
A radioactive wasp nest was discovered near nuclear waste storage tanks at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The nest exhibited radiation levels ten times above federal regulations, prompting swift action to eliminate the threat.

"The nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations. Workers sprayed the nest with insect killer, removed it, and disposed of it as radioactive waste." [135:54]

Christy adds that the wasps began seeming to "come back to life," fueling fears of ecological and safety repercussions.

5. Comedic Segments and Guest Appearances

a. Interview with Comedian Greg Warren

b. Comedian Reno Collier's Country-Fried Take
Reno humorously recounts his past as a PE teacher, blending teaching with stand-up comedy by integrating physical humor and exaggerated classroom scenarios.

6. Pop Culture and Trivia

a. Most Tattooed Man and Technology Issues
Matt Whelan, known as the most tattooed man in the UK, faces challenges accessing online pornography due to his extensive tattoos disrupting age verification systems.

"I'm the most tattooed guy in the UK, and the system thinks I'm wearing a mask, so I can't access any porn." [119:57]

b. Phone Booth History and Modern-Day Usage
Greg Warren delves into the evolution of phone booths, highlighting their decline with the advent of cell phones and their repurposing into quirky establishments like the "Teledisco" in Germany.

"In 1973, they invented the cell phone, and by 2010, phone booths started disappearing rapidly." [103:04]

7. Food Discussions and Culinary Tips

a. Sweet Corn Techniques
Chick and Tom discuss various methods of preparing sweet corn, from traditional shucking to innovative techniques like using peel-and-pour pods for convenience.

8. Mental Health Segment: "Man Keeping"

[77:54] Christy Lee:
A new trend called "Man Keeping" describes women taking on the emotional support roles traditionally held by male friendships. Experts urge men to cultivate and strengthen their male friendships to alleviate the emotional burden placed on their female partners.

"A major factor in all of this is men's shrinking social circles. In 1990, half of American men leaned on friends during personal struggles. By 2021, only 20% did." [78:26]

a. World’s Largest Baseball
A record-breaking oversized baseball, measuring 8 feet in diameter and adorned with 6,750 autographs, was recognized by Guinness World Records.

The Bristol Speedway hosted a record crowd of 91,000 fans, although the initial game was washed out by rain. On day two, the Braves triumphed over the Reds 4-2.

"They ran out of everything at the Speedway, including hot dog buns and beer." [38:54]

10. Unique Animal Competitions

a. Dog Surfing Championships
The annual World Dog Surfing Championships in Pacifica saw 20 canines showcase their surfing skills, drawing thousands of spectators. Winners included chocolate Labradors and a five-year-old French bulldog named Petey.

"Final overall champions were chocolate Labradors. Cacao." [69:21]

b. Wild Ponies Swim Across Assateague River
Wild ponies from Assateague Island competed in their 100th swim across the river, a tradition aimed at raising funds for the island's volunteer fire company.

"Foal number 36 was the champion of the Assateague Channel swim and crowned King Neptune." [65:08]

11. Technological Advancements and Safety Concerns

a. Electric Bikes on Trails
Tom expresses concern over the increasing presence of high-speed electric bikes on walking trails, advocating for stricter regulations to ensure pedestrian safety.

"They're not going to work. They're on trails designed for people to walk and exercise." [36:26]

b. Payphone Innovations and Legacy
Greg discusses the historical significance of payphones, including their transformation into unique establishments and their role in early technological developments.

[Donnie Baker]

Hi, Bob and Tom. It's Donnie Baker. Man, I noticed something that's been working my nerves for a while now and it finally came to a head yesterday. Talking about lunch hour pizza buffets. You ever been to them?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Donnie Baker]

A man, Jamie Barnes from work, used to go to him all the time till he got thrown out for not using the tongs.

[Chick McGee]

Prove it.

[Donnie Baker]

The man, his left hand was holding his plate. His right hand is deformed. You guys know about it? I told the manager. How's he supposed to work a set of tongs with a back scratcher? Hell, he was born with tongs. And if you had any sense about you, you'd give him a hair that in full time pay. I swear to God. That's what I said. He'd make a great buffet attendant, man. But she thought I was getting boisterous, so we got throwed out before I even got to my breadsticks. But my thing with pizza buffets is they always sound good. I mean, all you can eat for like four bucks. Well, until you get the drink, then somehow the total is dang near 10 bucks. Who's doing that math? That's why I started bringing my own two liters. I swear to God I did. There ain't no law against importing Mountain Dew, just liquor. And they can't prove it anyways because I pour it in a spray BO bottle and leave it up by the salad bar and they think it's window cleaner. Hell, I've even seen them use it to clean the sneeze guard. And I look at it this way, I get free. Do they save on Windex? That's a win win. And it's all tax free, man. But what I hate about pizza buffets is they never put out the good stuff. I mean, you ever notice every pizza buffet has them pizzas with combinations you ain't never seen before, like mushrooms and pineapple. Man, I remember the first time I sampled pineapple pizza. I. I was looking over my shoulder, waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out. I swear to God I was. There's another pizza with onions and hamburger on it. There just ain't enough cheese or meat lovers up there. Oh, and they got that barbecue pizza. Man, I love pizza and I love barbecue, but that combination could be lethal. You put barbecue and pizza on a slab of dough and you're done. Hell, I heard that's how Mama Cass died. I swear to God she did. And every week they got this stupid veggie pizza under the lamp. I hate veggie pizzas. I think they're gay. I swear to God I do. I seen one yesterday with a whole bunch of stuff on it I ain't never seen before. I even asked the manager what it was. He called it Healthy choice. Had mushrooms, green peppers, black olives and raisins. I was like, that ain't pizza, that's trail mix. I said it right to his face. Hell, I seen one pizza with corn in it. I was like, what are you guys doing, Making pizzas or cleaning out your freezer? Pizza and corn. Hell, I felt like I was back in the fourth grade staring at Miss Kelly's lunch lady arms that look like mud flaps. I told the manager, every pizza buffet has to have at least one cheese pizza under the lamp at all times. State law. Man, you should have seen his ass squirm. And I threw that book of knowledge right in his face. He apologized, got all nervous. I got a free one trip salad out of it.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice.

[Donnie Baker]

Anyways, man, I'm just saying it pays to bitch now and then. Stand up for yourself. That's why I like eating lunch with Jamie. He can give them the finger and they can't even see it coming.

[Chick McGee]

I gotta go. I gotta go is what he said. Hi. Welcome. Welcome to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. It's the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

There'S Josh Arnold. Hey, Pat Godwin on assignment. Ace Cosby's here. I'm Chick. Once again, discombobulated, preoccupied. And being on the air is a total surprise. It's Tom Griswold. Hey, buddy.

[Tom Griswold]

Just blowing my nose.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, good job. Good job.

[Josh Arnold]

Better out than in, they say.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. As long as they don't make gravy. Oh, no, that's a fart. Never mind. Sorry. You've heard that, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Just getting organized over here.

[Chick McGee]

Of course you are.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like a good day.

[Chick McGee]

Why? Why do it before? Be on the air do it while you're on the air.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I mean, I been here for quite some time.

[Chick McGee]

I don't believe you. You'd be more overnight if you're in quite some time.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm never really ready. Ever notice that?

[Chick McGee]

That's the thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we noticed.

[Chick McGee]

With the preparation you put in, you'd think you'd be farther along as being ready.

[Josh Arnold]

He's got a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders, far more than I do. Okay, well, I come in, plop down. He. It's kind of unfair.

[Chick McGee]

I'm. I'm. Yeah, I'm saying pretty close. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, glad to have you guys plopping with me today.

[Chick McGee]

I think everybody has shortcuts to their jobs, no matter what it is.

[Christy Lee]

Of course.

[Chick McGee]

You think, you know, Oppenheimer probably had a shortcut.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Making the bomb coming in. All right, fellas, you know, we did the OEMC square, whatever the hell it is. We want to be out here by 11 for a big lunch. So let's. Let's find out how these mirrors work. Let's figure this thing out.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we got bombs to drop.

[Josh Arnold]

You can tell they had shortcut there because if you actually look at the bomb itself. Duct tape, X's.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, they were in a hurry. Half ass.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they were under a deadline.

[Chick McGee]

You know the biggest problem with the bomb. I love this part of the story. It's my favorite. You know, for some reason I've become preoccupied, almost obsessed with this. They didn't know if the chain reaction would stop. Yeah, that was their big problem.

[Tom Griswold]

Ignite the atmosphere. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And then they tried underwater test, and they didn't know if they could blow a hole in the bottom of the ocean and all the water would run out. That was a quote from one of the army guys.

[Josh Arnold]

There was never a zero percent chance of anything. No, no, there was always a sludge.

[Christy Lee]

But they went ahead and did it.

[Chick McGee]

They went ahead and did it anyway. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Got the job done.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, it could have really gotten the job done and we wouldn't be here today.

[Chick McGee]

And of course, as we know from our Star Trek movies, that's when the aliens first noticed us when we had nuclear explosion.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That made light years when you make a giant kaboom. Yeah, they're gonna.

[Josh Arnold]

They're gonna notice.

[Chick McGee]

Aliens are gonna pick up on that.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, everybody have a good weekend.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, sir. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So. So you know what?

[Josh Arnold]

I puttered a little bit. Puttered.

[Chick McGee]

Love puttering.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Butter on.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what I got to putter with?

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's the thing. No, that's the thing with puttering. Everything is open at all times.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but I got to putter with putty. Some drywall. Putty.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Fixed a few things.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think that's what they call that.

[Josh Arnold]

What? The drywall.

[Chick McGee]

Mud spackle.

[Christy Lee]

It's mud spackle.

[Josh Arnold]

Spackle. Yeah, but it says. It actually says drywall something on it.

[Chick McGee]

Putty. I don't think. No.

[Tom Griswold]

Were you on a ladder?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I didn't have to be on a ladder this time. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What. What?

[Josh Arnold]

They make ladders.

[Christy Lee]

He doesn't want him on a ladder.

[Chick McGee]

Why don't you want Josh on a ladder?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's dangerous. See, I hire out. Get a professional.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I. I can. I got a. I have a great ladder.

[Chick McGee]

What about step stool? Step stool. Dangerous.

[Tom Griswold]

It depends how brittle you are.

[Chick McGee]

Although I shouldn't. I fell out of, like, a second story window one time. What?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

I was up on a ladder and I was at the second story window. Yes. And, you know, now that I think about this, this was quite a while ago, back in the. Back in the early 2000s. I might have been pushed, now that.

[Josh Arnold]

I think about it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Fell in. I'd luckily landed in a bush.

[Christy Lee]

I was gonna say you had to.

[Chick McGee]

I took a. Took one of the branches into my side. It punctured my side.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, man.

[Tom Griswold]

That's nothing compared to your most famous fall.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, through the. Yeah, through the ceiling.

[Tom Griswold]

Through the ceiling.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But that's really what happened again. You were.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I was up in the. You know how you can walk on joists in your home? And if you walk on a Joyce, you're okay, but if you go. The drywall is not load rated. I don't think it is more decorative than anything else. And I stepped on. I accidentally tripped and stepped on one side, and then my other. My other foot went on the other side of the joist. And fortunately for me, my testicles broke my fall.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As they hit the joist.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Do we have a photograph of your legs dangling through?

[Chick McGee]

No, but we. There might be a photograph of me the second time it happened. Of where? Yeah, it happened twice. The bruising of my. My inner.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you replace the drywall or did you use that drywall putty?

[Chick McGee]

I used drywall and the drywall putty. Yeah. Yeah, baby.

[Christy Lee]

Sanded it down and then got to paint.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I took out some wall lamp, like, lamps that I actually had. The wires fed like, I. When I first moved in there, I put these Kind of like in a hotel when you have reading lamps in the wall. Yeah, they're sconce lamps. Yeah. Yeah, I had those. I took those out and then now just regular lamps on my end tables.

[Chick McGee]

Nice.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you take the electricity out of the wall?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All good. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

You don't mess with electricity, do you? No. And you don't get up on ladders?

[Tom Griswold]

I try to avoid it. I get up on them, but not too high.

[Christy Lee]

So what'd you do this weekend? Did you put her?

[Tom Griswold]

I did a lot swim.

[Chick McGee]

Did you get in the pool?

[Josh Arnold]

He sent me pictures from something he did.

[Tom Griswold]

I went to the fair. I went to a concert. I rode my bike hours and hours.

[Chick McGee]

Stay off the bike, please.

[Tom Griswold]

Carefully.

[Christy Lee]

There were a lot of people on bikes this weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

We checked local listings. Beautiful weather, a little break in the heat.

[Christy Lee]

What concert did you go to? Oh, let me guess. Stapleton.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Chris Stapleton. And I'm not at all familiar with his work, so that was really interesting to go.

[Christy Lee]

Wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he is, but I didn't. I'm not familiar.

[Chick McGee]

He's a very distinctive voice.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that guy's.

[Tom Griswold]

Great player, great band.

[Josh Arnold]

I love him.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of. What do they call that? Soul.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's interesting going to a concert where you've got whatever, 30, 000 people that know every word and you know none of them, and it's just kind of. Okay, I'm getting into this. I see how this works.

[Chick McGee]

Are you. Were you spending most of your time and looking around going, will you guys quiet down? I'm trying to listen to the music.

[Tom Griswold]

No, we had a great. A great time.

[Christy Lee]

I saw the Black Mood Saturday night. Kind of a different concert. Very loud. I think my ears are still ringing.

[Chick McGee]

Minor ringing, too. Yeah, I guess Friday night they had an acoustic.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. My husband and I think next time we're going to the acoustic show, I've.

[Josh Arnold]

Become an ear plug guy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's what Alan told me. He goes, you got to keep the foam earplugs in your pocket. I forgot.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but they were great.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm hoping this. Hoping this wears out. Oh, we're gonna get to your letters in just a second, but you can reach us, of course, Bob and [e-mail] we have more dildos in the news, of all things.

A couple of Chuck E. Cheese stories, a porno in the news.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I miss Chuck E. Cheese. I don't have any children of that age.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

To head on over.

[Christy Lee]

Well, they're going to do an adult Chuck E. Cheese. You know that, right?

[Chick McGee]

Well, but what would stop. Is it not. Would it not be wise for me to just go there for lunch one day? Say me and Josh walk in for lunch and want one a two top with a pizza and a couple beers.

[Josh Arnold]

I. I would think they would serve us. I don't know. You think they should play some skee.

[Christy Lee]

Ball for a while? I don't see why you couldn't take.

[Josh Arnold]

It to Dave and Busters, you creeps.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you think?

[Christy Lee]

But maybe that's why people. That's why they're going to do an adult version because so many people were doing that.

[Chick McGee]

That's good pizza.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll tell you, Dave and Buster's was supposed to be the adult vers. Then they started letting families in.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you can't have a good cockfight with families walking around.

[Christy Lee]

I can't believe you brought up the nuclear bomb. Because we actually have radioactive nudes today.

[Chick McGee]

My sock My psychic comedy continues.

[Tom Griswold]

Radio radioactivity is indeed in the news. Plus, I. I think everyone's going to love this dog surfing.

[Tom Griswold]

To be clear.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no. Have you seen how easily these dogs can surf? It's stunning. They got it down.

But to be clear, this is dogs on surfboards, not people surfing on dogs.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, thank goodness for that. Well, we lost another one.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's either. It's either dogs on surfboards.

Is the trailer information in the movie, if you know what I mean. Over there looking at their fathers, the.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, the O.J. gag.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's in there. And I mean, look it. Was it ever going to as good as the part one and even two and a half? No, but it's.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Josh Arnold]

It's funny, right? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. I'm looking forward to seeing it. I did not get to it this weekend.

[Chick McGee]

I guess Pamela Anderson and Liam are dating.

[Christy Lee]

Told you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, that's what they say.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. That's a cute couple.

[Christy Lee]

Of connection.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Got a letter from a firefighter.

[Chick McGee]

All right, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

It was a quote, fully involved house fire. Okay, so that's pretty serious business. Lady lived there, asked if I could retrieve something from her bedroom. I went up the ladder, climbed in the window, retrieved a box under the bed, came down, handed it to her. She dropped was full of sex toys.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, man.

[Chick McGee]

Let me get this straight.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Mitchell.

[Christy Lee]

That's what she wanted to save.

[Chick McGee]

Two story house at least. Big time fire, right? Woman goes up to the fireman, I have a box under my bed. Can you go get it for me?

[Tom Griswold]

These are all facts.

[Chick McGee]

Bless his heart.

[Christy Lee]

He says yes, risks his life.

[Chick McGee]

Risks his life.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he probably thought it was some kind of mementos or letters from her late husband or something. Yeah, it was. But we do have coming up in the news.

[Chick McGee]

Well, we got it coming up right now. Another adult toy was thrown onto the court during a WNBA game just days after a sex toy made an appearance on the court at the Dreams game against Golden State. Another incident occurred in Chicago on Friday. An adult toy was thrown during the third quarter. Golden State again is in what the deal is 7,366 victory over the Chicago Sky.

[Christy Lee]

Someone seems a little surprised.

[Chick McGee]

That's from Tuesday's incident. An adult toy. The official kicked the object aside before it was picked up and removed. The league warned that any fan who, quote, intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities. No word on who was arrested for this incident.

[Tom Griswold]

And the one was. There was one last weekend that was a bright green dildo.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

They haven't gone into much of a description, but they're. They're calling it the phallus at the Palace.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's going to be kind of a thing.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I wonder if the people just wanted it signed.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, but I put it to you. What would have happened if during the Detroit Red Wings game when the first octopus was thrown out on the ice, that person would have been arrested? Maybe this is some sort of tradition they're trying to get started.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I'm thinking. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

For the WNBA game.

[Tom Griswold]

Very bad idea.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, apparently there are. There's some feedback now from the players and the words disrespect.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It seems. Yeah, this. This does seem a tad disrespectful.

[Chick McGee]

But does it make it any more disrespectful? Less or the same if Dildo's thrown out on an NFL less. Okay. Because the guys are involved. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How did they get it in? I entered the arena.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. That's a good question. Don't you go through.

[Chick McGee]

I think he's asking, how do you get the one. Two people love each very much sometimes.

[Tom Griswold]

As you know, I've attended a WNBA game and they. You can have. You can only have a ladies a very small purse. They search all your stuff. I don't even get anything in there.

[Chick McGee]

And correct me if I'm wrong, but the WNBA game is where you first found the wonder of a scoreboard. Well, is that right? That tells you everything.

[Tom Griswold]

Scoreboard from the next century. Lights on it, numbers, video was very good. Well, yeah, this is a bad, bad precedent. They don't need to have this becoming a thing.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm sure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure it'll all die down.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just yet another distraction in our culture. We'll move forward here.

[Chick McGee]

This is dear Bob and Tom show. Hi, Chick and the gang. I don't know why I was singled out. I tried. Oh, Chick, I tried your phrase quote. You want some of this bar foot? I put it away. It worked like a charm.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow.

[Chick McGee]

Then later the next. That same week, she said, hey, I want some of that before you put it away.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look at that.

[Chick McGee]

Damn, I love this woman. He says, that's from Steve in Maine, a VIP listener. Hello, Steve in Maine.

[Josh Arnold]

And who's the most famous Steve in Maine?

[Tom Griswold]

Steven King.

[Josh Arnold]

You think that maybe.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it might be King. Yeah, the King.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll take the.

[Chick McGee]

I believe Steve's wife is named Tabitha. Tabitha. That's exactly right. She writes as well.

[Christy Lee]

Pet cemetery was on yesterday. I walked by the tv. It was on.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sometimes dead is better.

[Christy Lee]

That's right. Followed by Cape Fear. Fear is better. Man, I forgot how bad Robert De Niro.

[Chick McGee]

De Niro's version. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, it's just creepy.

[Chick McGee]

Although isn't who's in the first one Robert Mitchum?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's a pretty. Gregory. Yeah, that's a good one.

[Chick McGee]

Let me tell you something. How's that? Gregory Pack.

[Tom Griswold]

Do it again.

[Chick McGee]

Let me tell you.

[Josh Arnold]

Scout.

[Chick McGee]

No, not bad.

[Tom Griswold]

If you didn't have the word Scout in there, I wouldn't know who it was.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good hint.

[Chick McGee]

That's fair.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I saw him in person.

[Chick McGee]

Gregory Pack.

[Josh Arnold]

Where'd you see the Peckster?

[Christy Lee]

Was he skiing in Vail?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I was a kid.

[Christy Lee]

We're going around the room.

[Chick McGee]

I saw, I saw, I saw, I saw Gregory Peck.

[Tom Griswold]

No, seriously, I did.

[Chick McGee]

I believe you.

[Tom Griswold]

Wearing. I remember he was wearing an impeccable blue and blue pinstripe suit.

[Chick McGee]

Just beautifully appointed.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, same thing with Duke Ellington. I saw him at the. At the airport, and he wore that. Wore an overcoat like a cape with his arms not in. It was very, very elegan. Well, be had an entourage. The first time I'd seen an entourage.

[Chick McGee]

You just know all the stars, don't you?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm just random people. Haven't you seen someone at random that.

[Josh Arnold]

When you saw Duke Ellington, were there any other firsts that may have. You were a young child.

[Chick McGee]

That's fair. Question your father or possibly any of your grandparents around when they saw Duke Ellington?

[Tom Griswold]

No, my grandparents were all dead, so.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Back to you.

[Chick McGee]

Oh. You know, the famous story of my house is when my mother saw Charlie Pride for the first time on Hee Haw. Sure you remember what she said. That's not Charlie Pride. She would not accept it.

[Josh Arnold]

Fought it tooth and nail.

[Chick McGee]

Let's see. Dear Bob and Tom show. Thank you for the entertainment you guys have given me throughout the years.

[Josh Arnold]

You're welcome.

[Chick McGee]

Well, thank you, Louise. I just wanted to chime in and say that Chick's technique needs to be studied. I came out of the shower, wanted to initiate sexy time with wife, and I went to Chick's phrase. Do you want any of this before I put it away? To my surprise, my wife chuckled, got up from the couch, and led me straight to the bedroom.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Two letters in favor of this technique, needless to say.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, Chick, for getting me laid. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

A little blunt there.

[Christy Lee]

We didn't have you Tried this tactic.

[Chick McGee]

Why don't you give this a try?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the exact phrasing again? Do you want some of this before I put it away?

[Chick McGee]

No. And ideally, you grab your crotch while you're doing. Hey, you want any of this part? Put it away and be a little confrontational. Make her. Make her make the decision.

[Tom Griswold]

You're likely to get the. No, I wanted a meal, not just a snack. One of those classic gags.

[Josh Arnold]

You are setting yourself up for some sort of clever retort. Yes, sure.

[Christy Lee]

But that makes it even more fun, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

But as you can hear, sometimes it works. Yes, like a charm, some would say.

[Tom Griswold]

We had two people weighing in today. That's amazing. Welcome to the Bob and Tom Show. We're coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Glad to be here. Says, hey, gang.

[Chick McGee]

That's us.

[Tom Griswold]

A few weeks ago, you were going through a list of names for the male member. The list had many classics. One was missing. The only way to refer to a young male member is to refer to it as your weapon.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Wow, that was a little rough.

[Tom Griswold]

This letter gets worse.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you know, I kind of thought it might. Anybody? Anybody who starts with weapon.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Yeah, I really. Somebody who gave me this.

[Chick McGee]

Somebody.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't read this on the air.

[Chick McGee]

At least it's getting smacked around a little bit. They say a weapon.

[Tom Griswold]

This is from another Josh in Canada.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Good morning, Canada. Certainly happy to have you along with us. We certainly appreciate that. Now, what else have we got? Maybe this one's more. Nope, can't play that. Could read it. Okay, good.

[Chick McGee]

Play that. Well, you can't play that one well.

[Tom Griswold]

Not gonna read this one.

[Chick McGee]

One.

[Tom Griswold]

This is. It's vacation time, of course. And, and, and in some ways or some. In some places, the vacation time is going away. Certain schools are already in session, which.

[Chick McGee]

This is your contention.

[Tom Griswold]

I got caught in a traffic jam instead of Thursday because there's. I didn't realize that one of the major high schools around here was already in session.

[Chick McGee]

Well, maybe people change their vacation times now to accommodate their school schedule instead of vacations going away.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but it's. In some states, it's very hard to get employees now for the summer because in the month of August, they can't find any. But that's another story this. This guy writes. My family and I were gearing up for our vacation to Top Sale Island, North Carolina. Just before we were about to leave, we got a call from the condo's owner saying the H. VAC system was down. They could not get it fixed in time for our stay.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

They offered us any one of the other properties, so we picked a condo in New Smyrna Beach, Florida.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And as I was looking at the driving directions to the condo, I noticed we were going to be driving within 10 miles of deland, Florida.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Christy Lee]

You know what New Smyrna beach is known for, Josh? You probably know this. Sharks.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what is the next sentence.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really? Yeah. That's a big shark place.

[Tom Griswold]

He goes, I can't wait to tell Tom's infamous joke. When we get close to the land, I'm sure there'll be eye rolls and groans. This is Clint from West Virginia. Then he writes, P.S. i just found out New Smyrna beach is considered the, quote, shark bite capital of the world. This may be my last email.

[Christy Lee]

I hope he's okay.

[Chick McGee]

I'll talk to Josh because he'll have a conversation. Isn't there a news story that there aren't nearly as many shark attacks as you think there are? They're just being covered by their sensationalized.

[Josh Arnold]

Of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The amount of shark attacks is really not.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, negligible is what it is.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean like, it's. They're. They're like the hand missing from the young lady that had bitten off.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, that. That's one.

[Tom Griswold]

That's enough.

[Christy Lee]

Enough for you to not go back in the water.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why I went to Colorado for my vacation.

[Chick McGee]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

No shark, but sure, maybe a potential wolf attack. But they got so. They've just. They reintroduced the wolves.

[Josh Arnold]

Wolves are sharks of the mountains. You guys know that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're in their house.

[Chick McGee]

I read a psychological story over the weekend that the oceans are therapeutically. He. I believe that to the human being.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Just being there near the water, looking.

[Tom Griswold]

At a nice body of water where. Or life or looking at a mountain.

[Chick McGee]

Anything. Yeah. It's not necessarily.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that sounds ominous.

[Chick McGee]

What are you doing that? No, I'm not doing it. Where the hell is that?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what that could be. Mrs. Carl's brain.

[Chick McGee]

Plumber, ma'. Am. Some would say the last decent SNL skid. Some would say, oh.

[Josh Arnold]

This music did not win an Academy Award.

[Christy Lee]

It did not.

[Chick McGee]

That's stunning. Yeah. What.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

What was it that. You're right.

[Chick McGee]

Probably something like, Diane, paint your wagon.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, right, right.

[Chick McGee]

What was it?

[Josh Arnold]

Something where if they all looked back, they would go, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You like how the Beatles used to always lose to Herb Alpert Hey, Herb.

[Chick McGee]

Albert put out a great album. Oh, sure. But I mean, hit after hit after hit.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, baby.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have a Chuck E. Cheese.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

We've got Reese's. That make you happy, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

No, Reese's.

[Tom Griswold]

Reese's.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I love it when he tries. When he's so proud of pronouncing it correctly and doesn't.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's Reese's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Reese's Pieces. I should get that.

[Josh Arnold]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They're in the news today. We've got swimming, horses, dog surfing. Once again, this is dogs that surf, not people surfing on dogs.

[Chick McGee]

I thought horses just walked on the bottom. They can swim.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, brief periods of time.

[Josh Arnold]

Are you sure?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, sure.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I used to play water polo. Oh, yeah? In high school. Yeah. But my horse kept drowning.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, well, this is why you think the horses can't swim, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, that water gets muddy. The water gets muddy, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Got to keep his head up.

[Tom Griswold]

The Bob and Tom show right now is sponsored by Better Help.

[Chick McGee]

These days.

[Tom Griswold]

Feels like there's advice for everything. All kinds of stuff going on on the Internet. What is it? The cold plunger you get in a big tub of ice, keeping a so called gratitude journal.

[Chick McGee]

People, people could use more gratitude.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not knocking any of this.

[Chick McGee]

Gratitude is in short supply, mister.

[Tom Griswold]

Whatever works for you is okay with me. You could do a. A detox drinking nothing but Coca Cola. I don't care. But you want to find out what works for you. And one of the best ways to do that is by talking to a live human being, a therapist. And that's where Better Help comes in. Therapy from BetterHelp is helpful for learning positive coping skills without getting into a tub of ice.

H E L P betterhelp.com b tshow also coming up. But you know what a monitor lizard is, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

I do.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't it someone who makes sure you have a hall pass?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they have a tiny little flag.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're nasty critters. Yeah, there's one on the loose out there.

[Chick McGee]

Some would say snitch.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll. We'll let you know where. Where they are, along with dog surfing on the way. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Reno Collier]

This is the Bob and Tom Show. Reach us toll free at 1-888-bobtom1 [e-mail] this is the Bob and Tom Show. Jim Rome takes on sports.

[Chick McGee]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

Because you're not playing me with rapid fire takes. Y' all went from the super bowl straight to the toilet bowl. He's not over the NFL. The NFL is over him. Scorching debates, all the good, all the bad, all the ups, all the downs.

[Chick McGee]

He's the spitfire of sports.

[Reno Collier]

Smack.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry for what I said because it was appropriate when I said it, but I can't say it anymore. Dude, you are killing the game.

[Chick McGee]

The Jim Rome show podcast. Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee and Josh Arnold. Pat Godwin on assignment. Ace Cosby. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Partners studios. I'm Chick with gas. A belch.

[Josh Arnold]

A letter here.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Tom.

[Josh Arnold]

Josh has a letter comes to us from Dennis. He said, you know, he says, I had a Tom moment this weekend. I think we should start calling these moments of Griswoldian splendor.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Of which type I like.

[Josh Arnold]

I was driving to the store and noticed there were quite a few joggers out. Yeah, I blanked on the word jogger and said, well, there sure is a lot of running around people out today. My wife just looked at me and shook her head.

[Chick McGee]

These things happen.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, they do.

[Tom Griswold]

Thinking and talking at the same time is an art form. I have not mastered it.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you're in the right business then.

[Tom Griswold]

I know, man.

[Josh Arnold]

The brain is funny how sometimes doors just slam shut in there and you cannot pry them open.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know whether to be mad at you or appreciate what you're trying to do. But sometimes I get the feeling you do that so help you along with the conversation. And I think you think it makes us feel more involved in the conversation.

[Christy Lee]

Do you think he does it on purpose?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I think sometimes I think he does it on purpose.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. That's. That. That's a very elegant explanation. Wrong. No, I just forget the names of stuff.

[Chick McGee]

Fair enough. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That just happens all the time. We've all got a lot on our minds in this world today.

[Christy Lee]

There were a lot of people on bikes this weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I was one of them, Man.

[Chick McGee]

Tom, great to see people out.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What. What has to happen for us to get you off the bike?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm fine.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, you're not.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm doing a good job.

[Josh Arnold]

Good, good.

[Christy Lee]

Do you wear a safety vest? Like, if you fall off, it blows up.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

I have them for horseback riders now. You wear a safety vest, and so if you fall off, it's tethered, and then it blows up so that it bounces off the ground.

[Chick McGee]

Acknowledge that you might fall off your bike.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I'm India.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

The ground is relatively close.

[Chick McGee]

Do you wear.

[Christy Lee]

Do you clip in toe clips?

[Tom Griswold]

I have the slip in toe clips. Not. Not the click.

[Chick McGee]

Do you wear elbow pads and knee pads?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not mountain biking. I'm just riding on the trail.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm fine.

[Chick McGee]

All right. See, I'm not worried about you. What about other cycle cyclists or drivers?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the problem is they're allowing the electric bikes on the trails, which is. They shouldn't, you know, and if you're on one, don't go buy me at 40 miles an hour. And I don't know what you're doing out on it anyway. You're not getting any exercise. I don't get it.

[Christy Lee]

Well, maybe they're. That's their transportation instead of a car.

[Tom Griswold]

Then what are they doing on a trail designed for people to walk and exercise? They're not going to work.

[Chick McGee]

You know, sometimes just getting outside is. Is good for.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe that's what they're doing.

[Tom Griswold]

Passing them with people trying to walk their dogs and everything. You're going by 30 miles an hour on an electric bike that you can't hear coming? No.

[Chick McGee]

Do you have a bell on your bike?

[Tom Griswold]

I was discussing whether or not to get one.

[Chick McGee]

One. I say. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Typically you just say, I'm on your left.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that sounds kind of short is what I was going to say. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I think I may get A bell.

[Chick McGee]

How about this? On your left. Hello?

[Tom Griswold]

No, whatever frequency that is, I can't hear it.

[Chick McGee]

You can't hear the bell?

[Christy Lee]

You couldn't hear that?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah, I can. There. I can hear now, barely.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I can't hear if I'm walking on trails. Oftentimes I have earbuds in.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of people do.

[Chick McGee]

Good point.

[Josh Arnold]

That's gotta. I gotta always. But I keep my head on a swivel. I do that unrelaxing walk ever.

[Chick McGee]

I do that. If I'm not on a trail and just conducting commerce.

[Tom Griswold]

Then you've got the people walking five wide in the thing, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Or you have people walking at 4:30 in the morning on a major road. That happened today. There were two people. And I'm like, couldn't you go into this neighborhood right here? It'd be a lot safer. That's scary.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The guys that jog on the freeway, I don't get it. We have to check in with the sports Page and Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if they jog on the freeway.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love it. And then during rush hours. Ah, you guys are just sitting there.

[Chick McGee]

Down the road. A record crowd over the weekend for a regular season Major League baseball game. Bristol Speedway. They got to see the pomp and the pageantry.

[Josh Arnold]

Sort of the Braves and the Reds.

[Chick McGee]

Called the Major League Baseball Speedway Classic before the rain washed out the game itself in the bottom of the first on day one.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Day two fans returned. Some fans. And they did on Sunday. Got to see the Braves beat the Reds 4 2. Tim McGraw and Pit Bull in the Rain wound up. It wound up washing out the first major league regular season game in the state of Tennessee. Tim McGraw and Pitbull were your musical entertainment. That's a shame.

[Josh Arnold]

They were expecting like pretty much a full.

[Tom Griswold]

What was it? 90,000.

[Chick McGee]

According to reports, 91,000 people on Saturday. Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe a new record.

[Chick McGee]

They. They ran out of everything at the. At the Speedway.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Including hot dog buns and at one point beer.

[Christy Lee]

And so they were just throwing hot dogs at people. You couldn't get a bun if you.

[Chick McGee]

Ordered a hot dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Hold on your hand, boy. Sizzling hot dog right there.

[Chick McGee]

Cut that out. They would hand. You know how you get a cardboard basket with fries in them? They put two naked hot dogs in them. Here you go. Here's your hot dogs.

[Tom Griswold]

So they don't.

[Christy Lee]

That'd be fine with me.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't match the number of buns.

[Chick McGee]

Well, see, it's a funny thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Hot.

[Chick McGee]

Dog buns and hot dogs don't match up. It's hilarious.

[Tom Griswold]

You know this stand up comedy joke number one.

[Chick McGee]

So they had a.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the equivalent of the hockey game outside.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In the state?

[Josh Arnold]

In a way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. It's a different venue or them going.

[Josh Arnold]

To the field of dreams.

[Chick McGee]

They play college football at Wrigley Field now. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

MLB thinking of moving to Nashville.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know what you're saying.

[Christy Lee]

Well, could they expand?

[Chick McGee]

I know. Nashville. I know. I'm not. I'm not sure. The state of the Nashville sounds. They at one time had a pretty good minor league baseball climate.

[Tom Griswold]

We have minor league baseball news.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, what would that be, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

The world's largest baseball.

[Josh Arnold]

The world's largest baseball.

[Chick McGee]

Is this. Is this a world record?

[Tom Griswold]

I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Is this the kind of world record we can look forward to? I. I don't think a Giant baseball has broken the Guinness. Hang on. Stupid. World record. Giant baseball has broken the Guinness world record. After touring minor league baseball stadiums across the country, the oversized ball, measuring 8ft in diameter, covered in autographs from 6,750 people, earning it the record for the most signatures on a baseball.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, it's all fun and games until it comes off its pedestal and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Somebody.

[Chick McGee]

Some poor child. The tour started June 24 at Victory Field in Indianapolis, home of the Indians. And over the course of more than a month, the baseball stopped at 15 different minor league ballparks, giving fans the opportunity to sign their names on the baseball. Tuesday, the ball reached its final destination, the flagship store in New York City.

[Josh Arnold]

Sounded like Foster Brooks for a second on the baseball, where it was officially.

[Chick McGee]

Recognized by the Guinness World Record.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, now I need to know what's on the inside, if it's actually built like a base.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody. I need to tell everybody that Tom keeps glancing at me like. And he has a smile on his face like. Like, isn't this great? Isn't it great?

[Tom Griswold]

There's a picture of a kid signing it, you know, standing in his father's shoulders. I don't think it's a gigantic baseball.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but I don't think it should count.

[Josh Arnold]

Right? It's got to be full. It's cork, probably.

[Chick McGee]

No, but most signatures on a baseball. Most signatures on the largest baseball you've ever seen. I'll get. I understand that.

[Tom Griswold]

Interesting about this baseball is even though it's eight feet in diameter. There you go. There's a picture of a guy signing it.

[Chick McGee]

You know what it looks like?

[Tom Griswold]

He's writing Craven Morehead.

[Greg Warren]

I was totally.

[Chick McGee]

I'm totally wrong. This is hilarious. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Even though that's it's 8ft in diameter, the Colorado Rockies still couldn't hit it. They're a bad team, you see.

[Josh Arnold]

Tough season.

[Tom Griswold]

A record of. A record of sucking shoddy ball club. Not good attendance. Great down skill level close to zero.

[Chick McGee]

You see, we did have a NASCAR race over the weekend. William Byron, his nickname.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom Lord.

[Chick McGee]

They call him the Lord. He fought off fuel worries in the closing laps. Some would say a fuel clinic. And the Iowa speed. Iowa Speedway. 350 lap race without a stop. 144 laps at 350 race without a stop. He won the Daytona 500 in February. The Lord won. Tom, do you hear?

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. You hear all this bound to happen happen.

[Chick McGee]

More sports coming up, including dogs. Dad on his side, Dogs surfing. Are concessions at NFL games, the cost getting out of hand.

[Josh Arnold]

Are we going to talk about it?

[Chick McGee]

And I'm sure you thought about this like I have. What is the sexiest mascot in major league Baseball?

[Christy Lee]

In major League baseball.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah, we'll talk about that.

[Josh Arnold]

Red's the woman with the giant baseball.

[Chick McGee]

Rosie. Red is on the list.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there, I suppose a fetish for that dispose.

[Chick McGee]

Absolutely.

[Josh Arnold]

I've got a mascot like some close to furryism.

[Tom Griswold]

Some poor guy. Only thing that can get him going.

[Chick McGee]

Can you wear the head, please?

[Josh Arnold]

The Philly finale.

[Chick McGee]

Oh God. Philly finale once again.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the beauty of this show. Wake up and we'll remind you of things you're glad you're not. We're coming right Back to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Reno Collier]

Thanks for listening. Portions of the show brought to you by Champion Windows. This is the Bob and Tom Show Show.

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick McGee. There's Ace and hello. Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, sir. It's good to see you. Hope you had a great weekend.

[Chick McGee]

We have an amazing sports story right in your. Let's go. Just for you, the final major championship of the 2025 golf season saw the LPGAs best head to Royal Porthcall in Wales for the AIG Women's Open. And yesterday's final round had some fireworks. Top of the leaderboard. Miu Yamashita. Yamashita. Spelled exactly the way you think it would Tom, hang on. Me.

[Tom Griswold]

You her mother. Mama. Sheeda baby sheet.

[Chick McGee]

Big Daddy. Big Daddy had to hold off a Sunday charge from Charlie Hull. The English woman had tons of support. Got within one of Yamashita's lead on the back nine before falling off the pace. But the big highlight yesterday. That's right. The headlines belong to Mimi Rhodes. Her tee shot on the par three, A par three fifth hole. Banked off the ball of her playing partner and went in.

[Josh Arnold]

No way for an ace.

[Chick McGee]

And I believe we have the video of this golf shot. It's farther down in this.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a still shot of the story. A bunch of ladies playing golf.

[Josh Arnold]

Mimi. Rose. I'm home again.

[Chick McGee]

Rose again. There she is. There she is, Teeing off. You'll be able to see this. And whack. There it goes. High, arcing in the air. Now her playing partner's ball's there already.

[Christy Lee]

There.

[Chick McGee]

Rolls up into the. Oh, man.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like. It's like a pool shot.

[Chick McGee]

Like it had eyes. Tom. Sheesh.

[Tom Griswold]

That counts, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Well, yeah. The ball, when it lands on it. It's part of the course, but. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And it also counts if one of your playing partners kicks it into the hole.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Other ball get to be moved back to the spot that it was in.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I hope so. If you put the mark. She put the marker.

[Christy Lee]

Marked it, Right?

[Chick McGee]

I hope so.

[Josh Arnold]

No, the ball itself was there. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

The ball was still sitting there.

[Chick McGee]

So the ball. I think the ball's played where it got knocked.

[Josh Arnold]

I think so, too. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yep. Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

This was like croquet.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of people don't know that. That. Yes, you can send someone on the golf course. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

You can put your foot on their ball and whack.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, you sacrifice kind of your own.

[Chick McGee]

Sure. But how much do you.

[Christy Lee]

Last time you played croquet, beat the other.

[Chick McGee]

You play croquet every day. I've done. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I do not.

[Chick McGee]

You have a set, though, right?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I do not.

[Chick McGee]

You have your own balls, man.

[Josh Arnold]

It's fun.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

Probably four years ago, I played.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I'm jealous. I loved it as a kid.

[Chick McGee]

It is fun. What about bocce? You're a bocce guy, aren't you?

[Tom Griswold]

I am not.

[Chick McGee]

You're a bocce.

[Tom Griswold]

Nope. Keep going. There's a lot of sports. I have nothing to do with you. I do love that. A friend of mine has that thing where you've got the. The sand on the board and you.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, at the bar.

[Tom Griswold]

Like a bargain bar game.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's real heavy pucks.

[Chick McGee]

I believe it's called shuffle puck.

[Josh Arnold]

Real fun.

[Chick McGee]

I think so. Now, is that where all the pins fly up for no reason, or do you try to knock them off the board? Work.

[Tom Griswold]

You try to not. I love the one that has the pins, though. That's really.

[Chick McGee]

You really have to look around.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I haven't seen one of those.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what happened to my grandpa's. We had. He had one in his basement all the time.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, it's so cool.

[Josh Arnold]

It was great functioning. We loved it.

[Chick McGee]

Made a great noise.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. It was essentially bowling.

[Tom Griswold]

There's probably one guy in North America that can fix those.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly. So I don't know what happened when.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Charlie the shufflebuck guy. Mustard plaster on my butt, but I'll come over now. Speaking of, we do have a Chuck E. Cheese in the news twice today, which, of course, is the home of the skeeball.

[Chick McGee]

No, I'm not. The poll is out. The sexiest mascots in Major League Baseball. All right, here we go. Let's go from 10 up to number one. Number 10 is Oriole Bird.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Baltimore. Baltimore Orioles.

[Chick McGee]

Number nine is orbit. Orbit of the Houston Astros. Are you familiar with Orbit? He's got kind of like an alien. Number eight is Raymond of the Tampa Bay Rays. Number six, Billy Marlin.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Miami Marlins. Not Billy.

[Tom Griswold]

Billy Martin.

[Chick McGee]

Billy Martin. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Number five is Mrs. Met of the New York Mets. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

She's got her place in my bank.

[Chick McGee]

Much like. Really. Number four is Rosie Red, who we have the. The privilege of meeting every year. She gets hotter every year.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I can't take.

[Chick McGee]

For me. Number three is Clark the Cub. But I think that's a lot of Chicago fans packing the ballot box. Number two, the Philly fanatic. The sexiest mascot. But number one is D. Baxter of the Arizona Diamondbacks. There he is.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That's who's been named the sexiest mascot in Major League Baseball. He's got kind of a Baxter the Bobcat Cat.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of mean looking, kind of like a wolf.

[Christy Lee]

He mess with me?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no. He looks like a bad boy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what? I can fix him.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You get me in a relationship with him, I can fix him.

[Chick McGee]

That's. That's exactly right.

[Christy Lee]

What are you playing my side of the court here?

[Chick McGee]

He just needs a good woman.

[Christy Lee]

That's right, exactly.

[Chick McGee]

That'll make him happy.

[Josh Arnold]

Tame that cat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks for going with cat there.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I watched the wheels turning.

[Christy Lee]

What mascot is this?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, the. I was on the Diamondbacks. Baxter the Bobcat. Evidently they're up to their necks and bobcats in Arizona, I guess.

[Tom Griswold]

Why wouldn't they go with a snake?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I mean, it's not attractive.

[Josh Arnold]

That's huggable. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Snake. And if a kid does buy a snuff stuff, let's keep an eye on him, you know?

[Christy Lee]

I mean, speaking of that, did you see over weekend, our good friend Drew Soren went to the fair with his little girl?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, was he like. Did you see this hustling for stuffed animals?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he was. She's got a cookie monster as big as this room.

[Josh Arnold]

Major League picture.

[Christy Lee]

Drew Storen, 98 mile fastball. Won the Cookie Monster. It was.

[Josh Arnold]

He should be banned.

[Chick McGee]

Still bringing the heat.

[Christy Lee]

Great. She's sitting there with this huge cookie.

[Chick McGee]

Monster locked in at 98. Tom.

[Josh Arnold]

What a con man.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, was he knocking over the milk bottles or knocking down.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know exactly what game he was, but that's. That was sent by her grandpa that I saw on Facebook.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, really?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I can't. I. There is a game that if you predict how fast you throw it, I think you win something. Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

So it's like a. It's like a cross between guess your weight and throw the.

[Chick McGee]

So they. So if you can't throw very fat, you can go 38 or whatever.

[Tom Griswold]

But he has a power, speed and accuracy on his side. That's great.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it was cute.

[Chick McGee]

Major league pitcher.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

In his name. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Because.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. None of those milk bottles. There was an earthquake and they didn't fall over. So you've really got to have a fastball to get that thing to go down.

[Chick McGee]

That still hurts you, doesn't it, that you've gone to the fair many times and tried the milk bottle game and have never succeeded.

[Tom Griswold]

I succeeded at the goldfish game.

[Chick McGee]

Just this past weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't do it. I didn't do it yet. My girls weren't here. I'm taking. I'll take them next week. I still have my goldfish from two years years ago that I won. Kept them alive. Very proud of myself.

[Christy Lee]

How many do you have?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there's just the one now.

[Christy Lee]

Are the girls one now?

[Tom Griswold]

There were. There was kind of a school of them, and most of them apparently dropped out.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

The one ate them.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they.

[Chick McGee]

So some did die.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, all of them did, except the one guy. He's doing. He's thriving. And I've got. Trust me, I've I've got every kind of water.

[Chick McGee]

He went into that bowl weighed nine ounces. Now he weighs one pound six.

[Christy Lee]

Now, would you put new ones in with that one or are you going to get the new ones? They're all own. Don't disturb his environment.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the last time I tried that, that didn't work. So I'm gonna leave this guy by himself.

[Christy Lee]

Good.

[Tom Griswold]

And then there were two for quite some time. Then one of them finally faded. So we'll see.

[Christy Lee]

What other animals do you have over there?

[Tom Griswold]

Just dogs you got.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I thought you had the weird frogs too.

[Tom Griswold]

Not anymore.

[Chick McGee]

I had to get the weird frogs and they weirded me out. Those white ones, they stay underwater forever.

[Christy Lee]

Somebody gave my kids that for their birthday.

[Chick McGee]

They are truly God's mistake. They shouldn't be allowed to.

[Tom Griswold]

They're.

[Chick McGee]

They're freakish.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember these things you'd find in a cave?

[Tom Griswold]

I had the fire belly toads for the longest time.

[Christy Lee]

Aren't those poisonous?

[Tom Griswold]

The ones I don't know. I don't think so. The ones I had the bearded dragon.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't we have. You and I both had to go get dusted crickets or something. And they had to be alive.

[Tom Griswold]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

Because these evil.

[Josh Arnold]

Those are better.

[Chick McGee]

The evil lizards. Unless they're alive, they wouldn't eat the crickets or something.

[Josh Arnold]

They're like the Cajun fries at 5. Guys, the original fries are great, but sometimes you want a little bit of.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like my fries dusted, please.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great analogy.

[Chick McGee]

Speaking of fries and food, there might be a groundswell happening to an NFL stadium coming this season. And also dogs and surfboards and Oasis at Wembley this weekend.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they're still on shows.

[Chick McGee]

Set a record. Yeah. A buddy of mine went and he had the best time in the history of the world.

[Josh Arnold]

Godwin and I have talked about going to Chicago to see him. Yeah, we're not going to. We've just talked about it. Let's be honest.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Let's not get.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out about the Oasis concert at Wembley.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, something that happened to me in real life is in the news.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever gotten in a car and your buddies doesn't have a steering wheel, but he's got a pair of vice grips.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's driving.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, that happened.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that happened to me.

[Christy Lee]

But it happens in the news today.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It doesn't end well, by the way.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out what happened right now. According to various reports, more than 60% of Americans 50 and over say, hey, wait a minute, I'm kind of worried about having enough money when I retire and we don't need anything else to worry about in this world today. So here's an interesting thing to think about that would be eliminating some of your worries. Many of our parents received a pension when they retired. They got the gold watch and they kept getting paid. That's a rarity these days, but you can kind of create your own with something called an annuity from the Silac Insurance Company. When you elect to receive payments on a regular basis, a Silac annuity plan will put money in your mailbox or in your bank account or just right in your hands. Get all the details. Find out if the restrictions apply to you. See if you can qualify. Head to silacins.com that's S I L A C I N S.com or look for the Silac [e-mail] the Silac Insurance Company. Know that when it's time to retire, you're going to have the funds that you need because you did something smart today. Once again, it's S I L a c I n s.com the Silac Insurance Company. And coming up, we have ponies that swim, hot dogs that spill, and something called man keeping. Have you heard about this, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Today I learned about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Man keeping.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I did not.

[Chick McGee]

Not in the basement. Basement or something.

[Christy Lee]

Well, kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't that be a switch?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What is it, Annie? What are you doing with that hammer?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Holy hell.

[Tom Griswold]

We are in the Aurelia Auto Parts studios. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hi, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Chase Cosby. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick McGee and Tom. You're going to go to an NFL game this season. Do you think at some point I usually go to live and in person.

[Tom Griswold]

Usually go to quite a few of them.

[Chick McGee]

Well, a lot of times you give your tickets away. I know that because you're busy. You're a wonderful guy. Go. Here you go. And you only charge me 80% of the face, which I, I really appreciate it. Nice. Well, Philadelphia Eagles world champs.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Post Eagles Nation. Are you aware of this, Tom? All the teams followed by nation, of course. Eagles Nation posted a photo of the menu at some place called Chickies and Pete's Food stand inside of Lincoln Financial Field. Chickies And Pete's is a chain of sports bars in the Philadelphia area.

[Tom Griswold]

Area.

[Chick McGee]

If you were to get a table at Chickies and Pete's, a single serving. Well, let's go down some of the prices for food. That's the idea.

[Christy Lee]

Restaurant inside the. And you can watch the game while you're eating.

[Chick McGee]

These are concessions by and large at Lincoln Financial Field. And the price.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

The story is average. Average Joe can't afford him. I think you'll agree.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Chicken cutlets. That's what they're called. I don't know if they're deep fried. I don't know what kind of sauce they come with. I don't know who's cooked them. Nobody ask. Cutlets, $17.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Order of cutlets, crab fries, 1750. Buffalo cutlets, $17. A cup of cheese. Ramekin of cheese.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Four bucks.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Chick McGee]

Domestic beer here. A can of Miller Light. 1850. A large.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. You can get a case that's steep.

[Chick McGee]

Let's say a large diet. Diet soda, 1250.

[Josh Arnold]

Come on, man.

[Chick McGee]

A diet is 1250. Regular soda, 950. Bottled water, 775.

[Tom Griswold]

Why would the diet soda cost more?

[Chick McGee]

Because it's sugar tax. Ordered order. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

No, just saying.

[Chick McGee]

Is there a sugar tax?

[Christy Lee]

Might be.

[Tom Griswold]

But that would be. That'd be the opposite.

[Christy Lee]

No, he said a diet was cheaper than the regular.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Regulars.

[Chick McGee]

Regular's cheaper. Regular soda, 950. Diet, 12.50.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I heard it backwards.

[Chick McGee]

Sugar. Remember Sugar Town? Going down to Sugar Town. Remember that?

[Tom Griswold]

Sugar Shack?

[Chick McGee]

Sugar. Is it Sugar Shack or Sugar Town?

[Tom Griswold]

That's Sugar Shack.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe.

[Christy Lee]

Diane get sodas sell more than the regular soda. So they're making more money.

[Chick McGee]

Do they go shush? Sure, they go shush. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The guy who sings Sugar Shack is that little place.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you want to beat him up?

[Chick McGee]

I think it might be a lady, though. I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we may be thinking of different songs.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Sugar Shack is definitely the guy who.

[Chick McGee]

Said, I know he.

[Josh Arnold]

Sugar Shack.

[Chick McGee]

That's it.

[Josh Arnold]

Because I don't hate it, but hey. Creeps me out.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir. Who's it by? Tom, There he is.

[Tom Griswold]

That's him, all right. Right there. That. That cheesy. What is that?

[Josh Arnold]

I love that. It's like an electric piccolo.

[Tom Griswold]

The sound be of shoving it down his throat. Here we go.

[Christy Lee]

And everybody calls it the Shoulder Shack. Jimmy Gilmer.

[Chick McGee]

Here it comes. Espresso Coffee taste mighty good.

[Tom Griswold]

And he puts the X in espresso. Which.

[Josh Arnold]

Espresso. Which I Love tastes pretty good. Go ahead, get out of here. If you went to a coffee shop.

[Chick McGee]

Here we go. Maybe I'm thinking of a different Sugar Shack. It's a girl. And she goes.

[Tom Griswold]

That must be a different song. Is that. Is that a real flute? Or maybe a recorder.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what it is.

[Christy Lee]

Is out in 1963. Jimmy Gilmore or Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

I think he was a one hit one.

[Tom Griswold]

Espresso coffee tastes mighty good. Oh, you just want to punch him in the face.

[Josh Arnold]

You want to throw that espresso right in his eyes.

[Tom Griswold]

I was at a coffee shop not too long ago and you walk in and you log out of the WI Fi and there was something espresso. And it says no X. Duh. I bet. I thought it was espresso most of my life. I'm sorry. I wonder if anybody has espresso. Espresso like the first laxative.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think. I think it's kind of a natural laxative anyway, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Not lately for me. I don't know what happened.

[Christy Lee]

Really.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You don't. You don't call a nice two shots of espresso? You don't call it the old bowel ringer.

[Tom Griswold]

I had an issue last week, but it's all cleared up now.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, good.

[Tom Griswold]

You might have heard the tearing last night about 8:30.

[Chick McGee]

You know what you should do, Tom? And I'm not. I'm not kidding. You know what you should do? Do animal.

[Tom Griswold]

Baby. No, I'm fine.

[Chick McGee]

Wet and wild. Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you do an on air colonoscopy? I mean, not colonoscopy. Sorry. What's it called when they get the high colonic? High colonic.

[Chick McGee]

I will because I know it's illegal in the state, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you imagine getting busted for that? Well, we're going out on a run today. Cannabis. No, no, no, no. High colonic.

[Chick McGee]

There's some sort of. You have to have it in a certain place and I mean obviously, but.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, sure, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The facility that you have. Have performed. I forgot how to watch my words while I'm talking. This isn't the same song.

[Donnie Baker]

[Christy Lee]

Girl love me When I put on.

[Donnie Baker]

Some trash, you can understand Some trash. Get back up to that sugar.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you imagine this guy dirty talking.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, hey baby. You wanted to let me put my thing in your thing.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

How's that? Can I touch your thing?

[Tom Griswold]

We don't have to go into that.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think he's touching anybody.

[Chick McGee]

You can touch my thing.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

You like my thing?

[Tom Griswold]

It tastes mighty good.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

You're the one that brought up that.

[Josh Arnold]

You're the one, but.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's why he's going to the sugar.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think it's, that's not the right.

[Tom Griswold]

What are you thinking of?

[Chick McGee]

I'm thinking there's a girl that says, I know it's a song. I don't. I'll have I, I, I'll look for it. I'll find it.

[Tom Griswold]

Try. I think if you Google that, you're going to get a on a coprophiliac related. Sorry. Thanks for joining us. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Valentine Program. Looking forward to talking to comedian Greg Warren.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

And comedian Reno Kari got some love letters. You know Greg's performance recently. Greg can be found out there in the ether. He's got some great specials, including his new one. You'll find it at Nateland, the Nate Bargetts.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, the champ.

[Chick McGee]

Greg Warren's the Warren Report, brought to you by Champion Champion Windows. Or as I say, Champion Winders, Champion Save now dot com. That's Champion Windows.

[Josh Arnold]

They're good people, people.

[Chick McGee]

Thousands gathered in Virginia to watch the Chincoteague. Is that how we're saying this?

[Tom Griswold]

I would try to rephrase that. How does it.

[Chick McGee]

Shin Koteg. All right. C H I N C O T E A G U E. Oh, I.

[Josh Arnold]

Don'T know what that is.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm assuming that the ch is a sh sound. Maybe that's where you're getting this.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's a sh sound. I think it's.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't it shiny? Shin Kotigate.

[Chick McGee]

Shin Kotig.

[Tom Griswold]

I would think that the co would.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway, hang on, because there's another one. It's the wild ponies compete in the 100th swim across the Azteague River. Oh, Aztec Channel. I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Assateague.

[Chick McGee]

It's the acetate.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's what it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's not the Asset Channel.

[Chick McGee]

What a what about this story is worth going through, having to pronounce these words? I'm sure according to the fire department and shouldn't because in it Again, foal number 36 was the champion of the Short Channel swim and crown King Neptune.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, we had a story about the Assateague Channel not too long ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

It's near the Asset to Mouth fork in the river.

[Chick McGee]

What is he trying.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's. It's a S S A T E a G U. Look at. Look at the photograph there. It's all those ponies.

[Josh Arnold]

Beautiful foals.

[Tom Griswold]

And they live. And they live on this island all year round.

[Chick McGee]

Beautiful.

[Josh Arnold]

Just.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, just fundraisers so people come to see.

[Josh Arnold]

Look at that Appaloosa on the left. I mean, that is just breathtaking. Like I know anything about this.

[Chick McGee]

The tradition began in 1925, 100 years ago, Tom. As a way to raise money for that place's volunteer fire company. The horses were made famous in the 1947 classic children's novel Misty, Misty of Shake by author Marguerite Henry.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, not familiar with that?

[Chick McGee]

No, not at all.

[Josh Arnold]

Horse tome.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm trying to find more about the.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys know me. I love my horses.

[Chick McGee]

I think this should be or could be a good place to start the book burning. With this book, Misty of Shinka.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently it is loaded with bestiality.

[Chick McGee]

Very, very.

[Josh Arnold]

What if that was one review of anything, by the way, loaded with loade.

[Tom Griswold]

Officials in Virginia in 1984 tried to curb sunbathing on Assateague Island. Oh, and then a gentleman by the name of Turner Stokes, a prominent nudist and new.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a Turner Stokes, prominent nudist and.

[Tom Griswold]

Prominent nudist and nudist activist. Because you want your nudist to be relatively active.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, very, very active in the nudist scene.

[Tom Griswold]

He would. He created promotional materials including T shirts emblazoned with bare acetyg.

[Chick McGee]

My best selling T shirt was printed emblazoned on the front. Hey, my eyes are up here.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's very good, sir. It's very good.

[Chick McGee]

Sold 100 copies.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, this is this gentleman's obituary. I'm sorry to hear that. Do nudists.

[Josh Arnold]

You're a ghost.

[Tom Griswold]

Do nudists get buried in the nude?

[Christy Lee]

That's a great question.

[Josh Arnold]

I kind of hope so.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, I don't think think. I think it's a rule, but.

[Christy Lee]

But there's no open casket. I bet.

[Chick McGee]

And I bet.

[Tom Griswold]

I bet they do.

[Chick McGee]

I bet immediate. I bet immediate family are the only ones that know it.

[Christy Lee]

No, they wouldn't do an open casket with naked body.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they have the ones that are, you know, like the jeeps. The jeeps that have the half top.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Do you want to see it? Actually, it's called a cab, I believe. Is. Is it?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

The casket in the business is called a cab. Half cab. Full cab, huh? Full cab is closed casted, I believe. And Half cab is open.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Or maybe full cabs. Both ends open so you can see they're fate.

[Tom Griswold]

Those nice shoes on.

[Chick McGee]

But it's now get a last look.

[Tom Griswold]

See anyway. It is the Assateague. I think we're pronouncing it right. A S S A T E A G, U.

[Chick McGee]

That's not the one we were worried about. It was.

[Tom Griswold]

And I found the song Shin Katig.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, the shush.

[Tom Griswold]

I think I found it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, okay. It's a girl. I'm sure it's a girl. It might be Nancy Sinatra.

[Tom Griswold]

I think that's exactly correct.

[Chick McGee]

Is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Give me a second. You can stall doing something.

[Chick McGee]

While the World Dog Dog Surfing Championships took place in no Cal over the weekend 20 canines took to the waves in Pacifica for the annual contest draws thousands of spectators to Pacifica State Beach. I'd love to see them.

[Josh Arnold]

No, they made a movie of this. It was about a particular breed of surfing dog though.

[Tom Griswold]

What was it?

[Josh Arnold]

You guys never saw Pointer Break? Never saw that. You didn't guys. You guys never rented Point.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't they wear a mask? Former president. I know.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm telling you that that would look so great on paper. This is going to kill.

[Chick McGee]

Judges looked for how long the dogs remained on their boards which looked effortless to the video. I saw how long they held their balance and whether they performed any tricks while surfing the top dog named Moondoggy. Final overall champions were chocolate Labradors. Cacao.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't know they serve.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's cacao.

[Chick McGee]

Wouldn't it be cacao?

[Tom Griswold]

What do you think?

[Chick McGee]

And cola. I know cacao is dark chocolate. Right? That's how much sweet.

[Tom Griswold]

Ergo it's a chocolate.

[Chick McGee]

Lab PD Petey the Westie took home the gold in the small dog category. Isa a five year old French bulldog. Bullet won the single server heat for medium sized dog.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. You've got to watch these videos.

[Josh Arnold]

A bulldog on a surfboard. Real funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're all funny. I assume that they have lifeguards out.

[Josh Arnold]

There and dog lifeguards. Yeah, dog lifeguard.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I said I whistle and visors dogs wearing a whistle and they're little zinc nosed. I always wanted to have my dog wear a visor. They would. They did not take to it. You got to start them early when they're puppies. So they're used to the visor on their head.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Chick. I think this may be the song you're thinking.

[Chick McGee]

Let's hear it. It. I Can't wait.

[Tom Griswold]

Not Sugar Shack, but something called Sugar Town.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, Sugar Town. That's what I said.

[Josh Arnold]

You did?

[Chick McGee]

You sold me on Sugar Shack.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I didn't. I got some troubles but they won't last.

[Chick McGee]

This is it. Is that Nancy Sinatra? Son of a gun. Not just boots. Weight sh. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet you had fun with this, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

It's more of a sh Than a sh.

[Chick McGee]

I will tell you the first nuanced I heard shaving cream, I lost my mind.

[Josh Arnold]

She had a sequel to this called Flower Town. A whole baking theme.

[Chick McGee]

Flower.

[Christy Lee]

How you remember all this stuff? Mind blowing to me.

[Tom Griswold]

You probably have some song will bring back.

[Christy Lee]

Had you heard that song before?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think I'd heard that.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think I had either.

[Josh Arnold]

The only other Nancy Sinatra song I know of besides these Boots Are Made for Walking is that Bang Bang at the beginning of Kill Bill.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he shot me down.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think that was her.

[Josh Arnold]

What was the relation? Father? Daughter?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. For those who don't know, I just.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, she hosts a show on the Sinatra Channel on.

[Tom Griswold]

She's great.

[Christy Lee]

Serious.

[Chick McGee]

That she's still alive.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. It still looks great too.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's not be stupid.

[Chick McGee]

Let's not be done.

[Josh Arnold]

Not worried about her calling in.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no. There's no difference between her and Catchers.

[Christy Lee]

Are you familiar with Joanna Cassidy?

[Josh Arnold]

No way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Beautiful.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. She just turned 80 and she did a photo shoot in Malibu. It's amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

She was on what show?

[Chick McGee]

It'll Come Six Feet Under. She was on there. And Bill. Something about Bill.

[Tom Griswold]

She's a Buffalo Bill.

[Chick McGee]

The one with Dabney Coleman?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy, that Nancy Sinatra sure looks good.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, oh, boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Just a gorgeous woman.

[Josh Arnold]

Just a real knockout.

[Chick McGee]

Good Lord. Yes, sir. Looks every. Every second of 80.

[Christy Lee]

How old is Nancy Sinatra?

[Chick McGee]

It's right there on his face.

[Josh Arnold]

Two old.

[Tom Griswold]

How did you see it? On a sad note, did you see that? Yeah, from WKRP I. The former Mrs. Burt Reynolds.

[Chick McGee]

I. I thought she was already dead.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you did.

[Chick McGee]

That's me, though.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, well, that's a shame. But she had the widest cleavage I've ever seen in my life.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Some would say caterwaul.

[Josh Arnold]

You could lay a skateboard between her boobs.

[Chick McGee]

You sure could.

[Christy Lee]

It was. She died just days before her 80th birthday.

[Chick McGee]

Day people lost.

[Tom Griswold]

She was perfectly cast in that show. Is the ultra high maintenance secretary?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, but very smart. Remember, she saved the show.

[Chick McGee]

According to the station. According to the script.

[Christy Lee]

Well, as opposed to.

[Tom Griswold]

According to what?

[Chick McGee]

Well, real life.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay, real dumb. Coming up, we have a comedian. Greg Warren will be joining us. Comedian Reno Collier. You ever have to use a pair of pliers instead of your steering wheel? Well, that happened. We'll tell you how it ended. And it's something that I have witnessed.

[Chick McGee]

I think you almost prefer that. What? I think you're really close to that nice car you have, taking the steering wheel out, putting a pair of channel locks on there, aren't you?

[Tom Griswold]

You can't do that anymore. There's too much electronics in the steering wheels. But back in the day, my buddy Paul did that. I couldn't believe it.

[Josh Arnold]

My buddy Nick did it and we got to school just fine.

[Chick McGee]

Fine.

[Tom Griswold]

I was terrified. If the channel comes undone, this car is going to go where it wants to go on its own.

[Chick McGee]

Remember when the car dealership around here, they brought us a car that had the radio controls in the steering wheel and we lost our minds, Couldn't believe it.

[Christy Lee]

Now, do you use yours in the steering wheel?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Christy Lee]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I.

[Tom Griswold]

Because I can reach the 12 inches.

[Chick McGee]

No, your. Yours is just like mine. It's hand motions. You really don't have to touch anything. Well, I. What? Yeah, he doesn't know this, but.

[Tom Griswold]

You're kidding me.

[Chick McGee]

No. You go like this to advance a song or. Or rewind.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

And you spin your finger around for volume.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like Minority Report in your car a little bit.

[Chick McGee]

No, no. Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

I have no idea. Yeah, I really should read the manual. We are in the Aurelia Auto Part studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Reno Collier]

For a complete copy of the Bob and Tom show contest rules, go to bobatom.com contest contest-rules. Or just scroll down to the bottom of the page and see contest rules. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Josh Arnold, Christy Lee, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom. How are you?

[Tom Griswold]

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

[Chick McGee]

Now in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studio, we're coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to talk with comedian Greg Warren, comedian Reno Carl Collier. But right now, we go back to the sports desk.

[Chick McGee]

One more, One more. One more. Stupid world record. Oasis fans set a record over the weekend at Wembley. Their fans drank so much beer that they set a new record. Fans of the band drank 250,000 pints. Wow. And as we know, pint is 16 pints of the pound.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

14 milliliter of the pence and pound nine. And then according to reports of figures significantly outpacing those sold at last year's Coldplay shows, when around 120,000 pints were sold and Taylor Swift just 40,000. Well.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I mean, a lot of teenagers there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm sorry, what did oasis. How many?

[Chick McGee]

250, 000.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that wouldn't even be a Green Bay Packer pre game. Come on, step up.

[Chick McGee]

It's hard to. Hard to tell how many. The NFL, they're all tailgating.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They bring them in, man.

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta pre. Gotta pregame it.

[Chick McGee]

No way to keep.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Are you thinking of going to see Oasis when they're in?

[Chick McGee]

Me? No, I'm not.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, you said you might.

[Josh Arnold]

We've talked about it. They're not one of my favorites, but I. I do like them. And they were.

[Chick McGee]

Are they going to be close?

[Josh Arnold]

They were like one of the bands of my generation. High school.

[Chick McGee]

Those.

[Josh Arnold]

Those songs were anthems.

[Chick McGee]

Although I'm concerned how much I like Champagne Supernova.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I like all that. A lot of it's nonsense, but I like it. But it also brings back good memories. It's one of those. Those things.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

But they do have a handful of songs I think are genuinely great.

[Christy Lee]

They're gonna be in Chicago. Right. That's probably close.

[Chick McGee]

You ever have to, you know, feel up a girl to Oasis song?

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, there may have been a makeout session or two to either Wonder Wall or Champagne Supernova. Those would have been. Yeah, all right. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How about the Sugar Shack?

[Josh Arnold]

Making that with me is mighty good.

[Chick McGee]

Mighty good.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're just joining us, you're lucky, because you're not gonna have to suffer through me playing Sugar Shack. And that's. That's sports, ladies and gentlemen.

[Chick McGee]

That's sports.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's check in with Christy Lee. She's at the SILAC Insurance news desk. Christy, what's happening?

[Christy Lee]

Mental health experts say there's a trend out there called man keeping. Are you aware of this?

[Josh Arnold]

I have not heard of this.

[Christy Lee]

It's leaving many women emotionally drained. Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Christy Lee]

Joined by Stanford researcher Dr. Angelica Puzio Ferrara.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, ho, ho. Timeout. What's her last name?

[Christy Lee]

Her. Her name is Dr. Angelica Puzio Ferrara.

[Chick McGee]

I believe that's O. Ferrara.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't that sound like a really exotic car?

[Christy Lee]

A Puzio Ferrara.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm driving the Puzzio Ferrara.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

He's a pussy wagon.

[Chick McGee]

Smell my elbows.

[Christy Lee]

Like she says, the term refers to women managing the emotional needs of the men in their lives.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that sounds terrible.

[Christy Lee]

Like handling their stress or encouraging friendships. A major factor in all of this, apparently, is men's shrinking social circles.

[Chick McGee]

Phew. I thought you were going to say something else was shrinking.

[Christy Lee]

In 1990, half of American men leaned on friends during personal struggles. By 2021, only 20% did. So as a result, many women became their partner's sole emotional support, essentially acting as a therapist to them.

[Josh Arnold]

Ladies, you don't have to do this. These men have onlyfans, women that they can talk to.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And also, the NFL season's about to start, so emotions be damned, it's time to time to tune in the games.

[Christy Lee]

Experts urge men to strengthen male friendships and share emotional burdens more broadly. Okay, do you think you do that?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I think I'm fine in that category. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You're the most healthy, emotionally. Mental.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

And that doesn't say much. I mean, it's all right.

[Chick McGee]

You think he's the most.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. You don't think.

[Josh Arnold]

Not in the world. Not. Not in.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

But yes. In this circle. Yes. Yeah. Admittedly, the chimps are running the boat here, but.

[Chick McGee]

Hang on a second.

[Tom Griswold]

He's the one that.

[Chick McGee]

Are you. Yeah, you're probably right. Never mind.

[Tom Griswold]

This seems like BS to me.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, no, I think women do feel that they need to do that sometimes. And maybe they are with partners who. Oh, like, are unable.

[Tom Griswold]

Guys don't.

[Christy Lee]

Do you hang out with the guys very often?

[Tom Griswold]

I'll go to lunch occasionally.

[Josh Arnold]

Women don't need their emotions managed. They need. They don't need guys to manage their emotions. They just need guys to listen about the emotions, which just sucks.

[Chick McGee]

Are you even aware that there's such a thing called an emotional quotient? Do you know about that?

[Tom Griswold]

I did know about this. I'm too busy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Dealing with other things.

[Chick McGee]

Attaboy.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, isn't this just. This is being espoused to someone. Anyway, you're gonna be.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, of course. You're emotional support, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Keeping it. Sounds like someone's trying to sell a book.

[Josh Arnold]

It does. Smack of that.

[Chick McGee]

I like the way you're pronouncing it. It's giving it the respect it deserves, though.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, the thing about it. This isn't a new idea. This isn't anything new. Like Tom said, this is. This is kind of how it works.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you mean your significant other wants you to support them emotionally. No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

But I don't know that you need to encourage guys to have more friends. Guys have as many friends as they want.

[Chick McGee]

That's the thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they don't. If they want more friends, they'll make them. If they don't, they won't.

[Chick McGee]

So, yeah, maybe he's just not that into having friends.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah, that's possible.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I don't know. I. I don't. I don't see you guys doing a lot. I don't see Tom especially doing a lot with the guys, like going to a game or.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but why is that? Whatever he's doing works for him.

[Christy Lee]

I know.

[Chick McGee]

So why.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, maybe he has a man keeper.

[Chick McGee]

He doesn't. You don't need any more friends, do you?

[Tom Griswold]

I have dogs. I have kids.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's the thing.

[Tom Griswold]

They have to be my friend.

[Chick McGee]

It's kind of. Yeah. Maybe that. That accidentally explained in both categories.

[Josh Arnold]

If they're not your friend, you don't feed them.

[Chick McGee]

Right? Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

More or less.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Some would. Some might say they owe you. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what's coming up, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

We have a tattooed guy in the news who says it makes him unable to watch porn.

[Chick McGee]

Filthy, filthy people. Tattoos.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, when you see this guy.

[Chick McGee]

What? Yeah, I have nine tattoos. What? What are you talking about?

[Tom Griswold]

This guy is. I mean, is he dirty? No, it's. He's a freak.

[Christy Lee]

And do you know someone who takes their birthday very seriously?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes.

[Christy Lee]

We're going to talk about that coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Thank you. God only knows.

[Tom Griswold]

We are in the Aali Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Reno Collier]

Hey, thanks for listening this morning. Got something to say, Send us an email. Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom Dot com.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. At the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Jake, Mickey.

[Chick McGee]

Hey there. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm here hanging on to the side of this cliff.

[Chick McGee]

And acting Greg Warren will join us later today for the Warren Report, brought to you by Champion windows. Visit championsave now.com. there's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. How are you doing?

[Tom Griswold]

Great. By the way, a little something if you've got a few minutes you want to kill.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you very much. Yes, I'm having my beverage delivered because I'm incapable.

[Tom Griswold]

You all right now? We have a great video out there. It's the puppets. The Bob and Tom puppets are back in action.

[Chick McGee]

Of all the ideas you've had, and I've poo pooed many, I was the first to poo poo the puppets. Until I saw them. I can't get enough. I'm mad for the puppets.

[Christy Lee]

This one's good.

[Tom Griswold]

The puppets. It's an actual segment of our program, except instead of us being here, here, it's the puppets.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute now. Ho, ho ho. Slow down and walk me through that one more time. What's going on?

[Tom Griswold]

It's an actual conversation with the puppets.

[Chick McGee]

I can't believe we're talking with the puppets.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, they're talking with each other. Well, the Bob and Tom show puppets. Have you seen this video?

[Chick McGee]

I have. And I'm giving you a hard time because I think you're being more than obvious about what's going on. But I know how you like to explain things.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, I will not mansplain it to you because you have enough of the essence of a male in your body to understand it.

[Chick McGee]

Enough. Thank you, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Just.

[Chick McGee]

Just enough. Genetically, I am.

[Tom Griswold]

If you got a chance, go to the Bob and Tom YouTube channel. Yeah, I think you'll enjoy it.

[Josh Arnold]

It's real funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Congratulations to Noah for putting that together. It's really. There's a bunch of very subtle stuff with the puppets.

[Chick McGee]

Keep it on.

[Christy Lee]

Watch closely.

[Tom Griswold]

Keep an eye on Godwin's mouth at one point.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a very, very well done, Noah.

[Josh Arnold]

And also Austin.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's very good.

[Josh Arnold]

Austin will cry if you don't mention his name. Which one of those.

[Chick McGee]

Which one's Austin?

[Josh Arnold]

He's the one that's always crying.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. I thought his name was Aaron.

[Christy Lee]

That's the other one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

There's another.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't worry, you don't speak to any of them.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, good.

[Tom Griswold]

Perfect. Well, you wanted a little bit of today in history.

[Christy Lee]

Of course I do.

[Chick McGee]

Is there any way I can stop you? No, apparently not for today. August. August, kids.

[Josh Arnold]

You believe that?

[Chick McGee]

August 4th. Gotta be Thanksgiving before you know it.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday. 1821. Louis Vuitton, of course. Started as a maker of giant trunks.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that true?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Big old trunks.

[Chick McGee]

You know, one of my favorite favorite shows from British television, it's called the repair show shop. And they bring in things to repair.

[Josh Arnold]

It's lovely.

[Chick McGee]

And they brought in a Louis Vuitton trunk.

[Josh Arnold]

They never talked price on that show, though.

[Tom Griswold]

That kind of.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, they don't. And, well, you know, my dad said if you have to. Have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it. Right. But they always have an interesting story. You'd love this show, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I want. It's great.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it is great.

[Chick McGee]

Great story with everything. And they re re condition this trunk. It looks beautiful. Now it's Un. Unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday, Louis. He was not one of the famous Louis. That was a president or what? King, I guess, in France.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

No, not one of those guys.

[Chick McGee]

You think his friends call him Louie or just Lou Lou. Nice. Nice new bag. If you've got Lou Lou.

[Tom Griswold]

1900. Happy birthday to the Queen Mother, Right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. Where are we?

[Josh Arnold]

We.

Mum who lived 190 or something?

[Josh Arnold]

She sure did. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Queen Elizabeth.

[Josh Arnold]

Elizabeth something, right?

[Christy Lee]

Her mom.

[Tom Griswold]

Her mother, yes. They call the. They call her Elizabeth Senior.

[H]

She.

[Chick McGee]

She had sex with George. Elizabeth's dad, Right, Right. Yeah, yeah, that's how that works. I think so.

[Josh Arnold]

He really filled her up.

[Tom Griswold]

Elton John's mother is the Queen Mother also.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, she. She's a mother of the queen.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry. Confused.

[Chick McGee]

And didn't George become king because his brother didn't want it abdicated? Yeah, he resigned.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever get a good look at Wallace?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I know. That's why I said that.

[Chick McGee]

Handsome. Handsome.

[Tom Griswold]

What was she doing? Supplying boys to him? What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy. I don't know, but.

[Chick McGee]

What is it? There's a tongue in her.

[Christy Lee]

She had something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Gave up a throne.

[Chick McGee]

She created a northeasterly wind with her mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe 1901. Happy birthday. The great Louis Armstrong. Cornet player.

[Josh Arnold]

Satchmo. You know why they called him Satchmo?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, why?

[Josh Arnold]

It's short for satchel mouth. His mouth would get so big. It was actually. Yeah, Satchmo.

[Chick McGee]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy. Happy birthday. Friend of the show. Billy Bob Thornton. Tremendous actor.

[Christy Lee]

He's got that so good in that.

[Tom Griswold]

Terrific commercial right now for T Mobile. Mobile.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. He's just walking down a roll back.

[Tom Griswold]

Up and he's in the middle of nowhere.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, hell, yeah. I'll take your money now.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you know who this one is? Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Born in 68. Daniel Day Kim.

[Christy Lee]

Daniel Day Kim.

[Chick McGee]

One word. Lost.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Good actor.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The brother of Daniel Day Lewis.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right, the Korean half brother.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He was in the. The Last Airbender, which is a movie about flashback petulance.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, I wish it were. I saw that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, not entertaining.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever watch Lost?

[Christy Lee]

I did. I watched the first episode and they had a polar bear in the. Got real mad in the baggage department or a baggage area of the plane. I go, this is crazy to understand.

[Tom Griswold]

That you have to go to Law school, lost school. That. It's very confusing. You like the of it, didn't you?

[Josh Arnold]

Very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I didn't. I thought it was.

[Chick McGee]

That's the one where he's carrying his own body in the basket.

[Tom Griswold]

The bald.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't remember. I was real confused. Loved every second of it.

[Tom Griswold]

1936, in this day, Jesse Owens won his second gold medal at the Berlin Olympics.

[Chick McGee]

The Ohio State University grad. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And Hitler, if you saw the video. Not happy.

[Chick McGee]

No, he's not.

[Josh Arnold]

That's one of the greatest things ever cover.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, let's see. Elvis Presley on this date in 56 releases, the great song Hound Dog.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry now, what was the. What was the name of the song, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

Hound Dog, Pound Dog.

[Chick McGee]

Would you say that you don't like. That was a rocking song? Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

It's fun.

[Christy Lee]

It's fun.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't the Hoyt action's mom write that or something?

[Tom Griswold]

She wrote one of his biggest hits. That's not.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think it's Hound Dog.

[Tom Griswold]

Purple rain hit number one in this date in 1984 and stayed there for 24 weeks.

[Chick McGee]

I like Prince, I like most of.

[Christy Lee]

But I didn't like Purple Rain.

[Chick McGee]

I care for Purple Rain.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is of course about a golden shower. Let's see.

[Chick McGee]

Golden Rain.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that wouldn't make sense.

[Josh Arnold]

A lot of eggplant.

[Tom Griswold]

Does that happen? 1991, Metallica's Enter Sandman climbed the US charts.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

It's been that long? Who knew? And finally, in 2015, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy announced their breakup.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember where I was because what I laughed very hard at this. Greg Warren and I were like at the airport or something and he.

[Chick McGee]

You.

[Josh Arnold]

Know, the news was on.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sad news out of Hollywood. Kermit the Frog and Miss Biggie have broken up. And he grabbed both of my arms and goes, what? He was so concerned. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we'll get to Greg Warren in a matter of just a few minutes. As a matter of fact, comedian Greg Warren will be joining us with the Warren Report. Always look forward to that. Right now we return to the SILAC Insurance news desk. It's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

A new survey reveals just how important birthday celebrations are for some Americans. The poll of 2,000 US adults conducted by our friends at Talker Research found one in five take their birthday quote, extremely seriously. Just 15% of baby boomers put the same level of care into their birthdays. 20% of respondents throw a birthday bash annually. Nearly 30% of those polled agreed that it's proper etiquette to attend someone's birthday bash if they went to yours? Look, a little over 10% would actively hold it against someone for not coming out to celebrate with them. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

First, if this means you get cake at the office, I'm in. As Jim Gaffigan would say in his great piece about cake. But don't you think you. After you're, say, 18, then you. Then you do. Okay, 21, 30, 40, 50. That's it.

[Christy Lee]

How do you feel about people who plan their own birthday parties?

[Josh Arnold]

Fine. I think it's fine.

[Chick McGee]

Just don't invite me. That's fine.

[Christy Lee]

I think someone should plan your party for you, though.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I like that they're not putting it off on somebody else. I like that they're just taking control and. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, I'm gonna have a party.

[Josh Arnold]

It's my birthday. I'll have a party. Party.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I just. The people take it serious. Well, I'm turning 37 tomorrow.

[Chick McGee]

It will stop the world in my next life. No one's going to know when my birthday is, and no one's going to know who my favorite football team is. I'll tell you that right now.

[Josh Arnold]

The problem has become it's my birthday month. Yeah, that's really.

[Christy Lee]

I know some people like that.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Really well.

[Christy Lee]

But, I mean, I love celebrating my friends. I think it's sweet if they're going.

[Chick McGee]

To do that, you know. Yeah. Go ahead and celebrate the whole month, then.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You're all right with birthday?

[Chick McGee]

I'm all right with that.

[Josh Arnold]

That's really so.

[Chick McGee]

You know, it's my birthday month. You know, I like.

[Tom Griswold]

Sagittarius. I gotta compete with.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I like all that stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a Capricorn. I gotta compete with.

[Chick McGee]

What are you.

[Josh Arnold]

You're astrology.

[Tom Griswold]

I forget what is. What is December 25th.

[Chick McGee]

You're such an.

[Christy Lee]

It's Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

I know. That's what I'm saying.

[Chick McGee]

Scorpio or a Sagittarius.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I thought. Isn't they.

[Christy Lee]

I thought it was Capricorn.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't the Chris Christopherson? Jesus was a Capricorn.

[Chick McGee]

Warren was it.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

That's the song.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I don't know, but he could be. I don't know. Now, coming up, we're going to talk with comedian Greg Warren. Greg's got some great stuff out there.

[Chick McGee]

Are we going to act like we're here when he calls, or are we going to just let it ring?

[Tom Griswold]

He's got the salesman out there right now.

[Josh Arnold]

Why don't we just have Greg and Reno call each other and leave us out?

[Chick McGee]

I know this sounds like a crazy idea, but just wait a second. Are you in or out? Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Right now I want to say hello to our friends at Better Help. Better help is a great idea. It's a way to access therapy online, one on one therapy, talk therapy, if you will, because it's a lot easier to do it without having to go across town and go into an office, et cetera, et cetera. And these days, I kind of was saying earlier, we kind of have advice for everything and cure alls, et cetera, et cetera. I'm going to take an ice bath today. That'll sort out my life. Okay, great. Maybe, maybe, maybe talk to a therapist while you're sitting in the ice therapy.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I can't wait for tomorrow because I, I took an ice bath yesterday and everything's going to be fine.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe sorting it out with a professional would be helpful. Therapy can be extremely helpful. And better help is a way to access therapy, as I said, because the therapy is done online like a, a zoom call or a phone call or even texting back and forth with a therapist. Some 30,000 therapists are involved with Better Help and nearly 2 million people have given them a 4.9 out of 5 rating for their app. So this is, those are some amazing numbers, not to mention millions of people who have benefited, some 5 million by using BetterHelp. So get the details by going to betterhelp.com that's Better Help. H E L P betterhelp.com BTShow and once again, the therapy is done online, one on one. And you can do it at your convenience where you want to be. You can do it like a zoom call or like a phone call or even texting back and forth, as I indicated. Better help. H e l p betterhelp.com btshow and that'll that btshow will knock 10% off your first month. Betterhelp.com with a variety of therapists, by the way. Way with a variety of specialties. So try to get yourself hooked up and tell them the Bob and Tom show sent you. We're coming back with comedian Greg Warren and the Warren Report. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Good to be here.

[Chick McGee]

That's Christy Lee. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there, there.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, everybody. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Think O'Reilly for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast. From the professional. From the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Tom, we have a special guest.

[Tom Griswold]

There we go. He's the comedian Greg Warren. Greg, we got some love letters about you today, apparently. Were you in Madison over the weekend?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I opened for.

[Josh Arnold]

For Nate.

[Tom Griswold]

Nate Bargazi.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Mr. Warren killed and Nate's Big Dumb Eyes tour stop in Madison. Writes. Connor, just writing to give Greg a huge Wisconsin shout out. All right, so isn't that nice? From Madison, Wisconsin.

[Greg Warren]

From that. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. I'm coming back there one show October 5th.

[Chick McGee]

All right. Where.

[Tom Griswold]

Where are you going to be?

[Greg Warren]

At the comedy club on State. It's a. It's a really, really great club.

[Chick McGee]

And what, what street's that on?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, chick, that's over there on State.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, that still remains a bucket list club for me, huh?

[Christy Lee]

If you've not done it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, why don't you open for Greg?

[Greg Warren]

Greg says we're gonna talk about phone booths today.

[Josh Arnold]

The history of phone booths.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, go ahead and start.

[Greg Warren]

You can open for me anytime you want, buddy.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, thank you, dude. Thank you.

[Greg Warren]

You're gonna have to clean it up a little bit.

[Chick McGee]

Never.

[Tom Griswold]

Where are the phone booths all these days? Remember the glass ones with the squeaky door?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I don't know where Superman changes his clothes anymore. Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe there's a warehouse full of them.

[Chick McGee]

Is that kind of New Jersey? I keep telling you guys, I was.

[Tom Griswold]

Just in London, England, and we came upon one that. But it was just the. The phone booth and nothing in it.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, the phone boxes, they call them over there. The red ones.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, those are. Don't you want one of those?

[Chick McGee]

I would love to have one of those for the, for the council.

[Christy Lee]

I know a guy that's got one by his mailbox.

[Chick McGee]

Well, he wants to give it to me out of the kindness of his heart and.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And lift it over there to my house. I will let you it sit in my living room.

[Tom Griswold]

So what is the history of the phone booth?

[Greg Warren]

Well, it's got a rich history, of course. In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone. In 1878, Thomas Doolittle, he repurposed a couple of telegraph wires that ran from Blackrock to Bridgeport, Connecticut. There was a phone on each side and. And an attendant and you could pay 15 cents to call the. To call Blackrock to Bridgeport.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, and they had some. Some wooden sort of booths there. So that was the. The first modified phone booth. $0.15. About 450 today to make a phone call from one city to another city in Connecticut. Fern sprach kis in Berlin. That's 1881. They had some. Some phone booths set up, and they. They sold paper tickets.

[Chick McGee]

You.

[Greg Warren]

You had to buy, like, a. Like a concert ticket if you wanted to make a phone call. Yeah, I would imagine Damone was probably out there. So you say you want to make a phone call. I mean, I'll tell you what, if you buy a couple of these Van Halen, I'll give you three. Three phone calls.

[Josh Arnold]

What does he say? Where were you last week when I was.

[Greg Warren]

No, I don't have any Blue Oyster Cult. Where were you last week? I ate 34 pears.

[Tom Griswold]

That is a very fine underappreciated impression from Fast, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. And didn't you.

[Greg Warren]

Thanks, Tom. It's really my only one, but it's good.

[Tom Griswold]

It's strong. And you met. You met the actor once, right?

[Greg Warren]

I met.

[Chick McGee]

I read.

[Greg Warren]

I met Bob Romanus. Robert Romanus, Yeah. Could not have been cooler. Told him I was a comedian. He said, oh, you're a comedian, huh? I'm gonna have to come check you out sometime.

[Tom Griswold]

Is he working much? I don't.

[Greg Warren]

I haven't seen him anything in a while. I know he. He had a good run on Will and Grace back in the day.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now, are you gonna. In the phone booth thing, do you have anything about Steve Jobs in there?

[Greg Warren]

I do not. Do you know something about him that's.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of how he got his start.

[Greg Warren]

Phone booths, is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He developed a way to record the sound of the coins going into a phone booth, into a phone at a pay phone.

[Chick McGee]

Something that would fool the phone into.

[Tom Griswold]

Things, you know, fool the phone into thinking you were actually putting the money in.

[Josh Arnold]

He was a crook.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

This sounds like stealing, Tom. That's not what this report has ever been about.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's how he got his start, actually, with computers, so.

[Greg Warren]

That'S. That's fascinating.

[Tom Griswold]

It's true. And now we have the iPhone payphone as a result.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Greg Warren]

William Gray, 1889, was the first coin pay phone that Steve Jobs ripped off. William. A year before his wife fell ill, and he needed to make a phone call to see if he could get her some help. And he went down to the factory that was the nearest phone call, and they said, well, you don't have a subscription. Oh, this was in Hartford, Connecticut. And he said, well, she's sick. And I said, well, you don't have A subscription. And eventually they let him make the phone call. But he. He felt like that was. He wanted to right that wrong. And he put the first coin payphone in a bank in Hartford, Connecticut. And those early phone pay phones guys. It was done on the honor system. You know, you make a phone call and then they say, okay, the phone call's done. You got to deposit 35 or 45 cents or something. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When did it universally become a dime?

[Greg Warren]

I think that was in the 20s or the 30s, Tom. It was. It was 2 cents early on and. No, in the. In the 20s it was 2 cents.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Greg Warren]

So it must have been like the 30s or the 40s, because by the 80s, it was a corporate order.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Because there's that great Jim Croce song.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Operator. That's a terrific song. You never heard that, Operator?

[Josh Arnold]

Of course I've heard that song.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're just disdainful. Not boring at all. It's tragic.

[Chick McGee]

Something in my eye.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you think that's. Do you think the fact that it was two cents, that's where the saying, hey, here's my two cents?

[Christy Lee]

No, my two cents.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. Just not. It does not.

[Greg Warren]

No, that came from. I think the. There's a. Some coin In Britain that's 2 cents.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Greg Warren]

And it was. Yeah, I think it was like. I think that was like self deprecating, like, I'm gonna throw my two cents in. Meaning, like, I don't. You know, this. This isn't. This opinion probably isn't worth much.

[Josh Arnold]

I got you.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Greg Warren]

But, Josh, we think alike. I did. I did. When I saw that, I was like, I wonder if that's. I looked it up. That's. It's not the case.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And when did it. When did it become a quarter?

[Greg Warren]

That was in the 80s.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. Do they exist anymore at all, pay phones? Are there any.

[Greg Warren]

There's very few. There's none in New York city. There was four up until 2023 on the upper west side. Some guy, Allen something, basically had like, the phone booth Preservation Society thought that they were.

[Chick McGee]

Were.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I bet he really got the ladies.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I bet he could probably go on for half. Half an hour about each of his. Each of his socks every day.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't think.

[Greg Warren]

You don't think Alan had a heavy social calendar chick.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

He was up to his neck and poo. You know? He was.

[Tom Griswold]

There's the phone booth Preservation Society.

[Chick McGee]

You know, it's a lost start being able to talk on the phone booth.

[Josh Arnold]

Phone booths were Were very important to superman, weren't they?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I didn't have any.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Now Josh, he's getting. He's racking up public indecency charges left.

[Chick McGee]

I remember, and I think it must have been the first Superman.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they did the gag.

[Chick McGee]

They did the gag with just the half phone booth, and he walked it to change, and it was like the half. It wasn't the booth. And he. But rolled his eyes or. I thought, man, that. It doesn't get any funnier than that.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I wonder if he just goes into, like, a. A t. Mobile in charge and changes now. And like, what are you doing? He's like, hey, you guys were the ones who char.

[Chick McGee]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

You caused this. You have a bathroom.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

You guys got to give me some. You did this.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, when did they become all glass?

[Greg Warren]

Oh, that is because they.

[Tom Griswold]

Because they.

[Chick McGee]

I think.

[Greg Warren]

I think in the 50s. I think they were in the 50s.

[Christy Lee]

They were low.

[Greg Warren]

They went from wood to aluminum in the 50s.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. And they have that French folding door is what it's called.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Greg Warren]

To make space or whatever that was.

[Christy Lee]

Open to from the outside. Yeah. So it didn't open in.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah. That was a key. Did you know about this, Tom, in around 1959, there is this, like, big thing on college campuses called phone booth cramming.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That was sort of after the swallowing the live goldfish thing.

[Chick McGee]

I bet you. Yes. Done this. No.

[Josh Arnold]

Hilarious pictures of that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Way too claustrophobic.

[Chick McGee]

And did you. Did you see it done?

[Tom Griswold]

No. In movies.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And that was being done, I think, well into the 80s.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. 1959 was the first one in South Africa. They got 25 college kids into a phone booth.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they're thinner.

[Tom Griswold]

Something. If you were wrong, I'd say something.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Josh, you and you and 24 of your buddies in college don't think you could have done that.

[Josh Arnold]

No. But me and my. My buddy Steve, we did.

[Christy Lee]

You grabbed yourselves.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. The two of you. Thankfully, I had a quarter. I could call the fire department.

[Chick McGee]

Did you ever hear this Greg? He's such a great fight. He wants to fight him in a phone booth. Remember that? Yeah. Great heavyweight fighter. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

What does that mean? That you're, like, just real good inside?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, yeah, he does. He doesn't want him to run around and. And dance. I'll fight you in a phone booth.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I like that.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Greg Warren]

I didn't care for the running around and dancing. Although now that I think about it as a Wrestler. I was a little bit more of.

[Chick McGee]

A run, running around.

[Greg Warren]

I was a junker man. I didn't know.

[Chick McGee]

Is that what they call them? Junkers?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Greg Warren]

I was a bit of a junker chick. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Is that a negative? That's a negative term for a wrestler, a junker.

[Greg Warren]

No, it's not necessarily negative. It was probably, you know, just a little different. Yeah, it was a tactic, I think in a way. Yes. Maybe. Maybe a little bit derogatory in practice. I could go, I could do the phone booth thing, I could get in there. But when it came to the matches, I was like, I'm gonna see if.

[Christy Lee]

I can run around a little bit, save my strength.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, they did VW Beetle cramming too.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's fun.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. I was never part of any of that. Well, I don't. There was. My dad used to cram a lot of us into a VW beatable to go to wrestling practice.

[Chick McGee]

I remember that.

[Greg Warren]

1957, they tested drive up payphones in Alabama and Chicago.

[Tom Griswold]

How'd that go?

[Greg Warren]

Some of these, some of these.

[Chick McGee]

Used.

[Greg Warren]

To be pay phones. They've repurposed them for some pretty funny stuff. Germany, they have a. A Teledisco. Yeah, just. It's a one, one person discotheque.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Really?

[Greg Warren]

Go in there and play some music and dance.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

By yourself?

[Greg Warren]

Yes. Well, yeah. Well, I mean, unless you're one of these crammers.

[Donnie Baker]

I feel boogie.

[Greg Warren]

Hey, do that again.

[Chick McGee]

Man. That was awesome. Ivy boogie. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't they haven't a number of restaurants tried the thing where you sit down at a table and there's a payphone there and you. It calls the waiter or whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

And other tables. Yeah, we've had a couple stories of that and yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, the other tables I've heard of.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

One up here.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Those have never really taken off.

[Greg Warren]

Japan, they have a vertical goldfish aquarium that's used to be a phone booth.

[Christy Lee]

That's cool.

[Chick McGee]

Is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, that'd be cool.

[Greg Warren]

I think it's neat. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Greg Warren]

Out of all the stuff that seems the coolest about all of this, you.

[Tom Griswold]

Gotta it very carefully.

[Josh Arnold]

You do.

[Tom Griswold]

When you clean it, you can't just open the door. Don't remember. You can't open the door.

[Chick McGee]

This leak started after we put the aquarium in. I don't understand.

[Greg Warren]

In Scotland they have a thing called the wee bar. A tiny. A tiny little, tiny little bar. That's a.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Greg Warren]

It used to be a phone booth.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Greg Warren]

I. I mean the. I Think a lot of these phone booths are now we bars and then.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, Exactly.

[Greg Warren]

I think. I think even when they were in operation. That's why, Chick, I know you won an old phone booth, but I. It was a urinal. At one time.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever walk by a phone booth and stick your finger in the change thing to see if there was any money?

[Greg Warren]

Yes, always. Definitely.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that was a thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And I.

[Greg Warren]

And I found some sometimes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Every now and again. It was a real, real treat.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

I can't remember the last time I used one. When did they. When did they sort of start. Start fading quickly? About 2000.

[Greg Warren]

Well, in 1973, the. They invented the cell phone. It took to 83 before it went on the market. The first cell phone was four grand and 83.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it was like the inventor and Gordon Gekko.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then I think the back.

[Greg Warren]

I don't know when were cell phones, like, probably the, you know, 2000. I think they started going down phone booths. Everybody started pulling out of that market in the. Around 2010, maybe. There's not many left. There was. There was 2 million phone booths in the U.S. in 1999. 5% of that in 2018. And I bet you were down to next to nothing.

[Chick McGee]

Wow, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, the iPhone's not quite 20 years old, so. And that kind of changed everything. Everything.

[Chick McGee]

Right. But I remember having.

[Greg Warren]

You guys had cell phones before the iPhone, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I had a car in car phone.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, man. You were one of those guys.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Those are. Those were a douchebag. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Josh, I would call my voicemail, which is also. I now never listen to, but I call my voicemail and I get a message. Hi, this is Josh Arnold. You may remember me. I was a comedian then. I can just click it right off.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, I see Tom, you know, they. You know, in the 1990s, they were. A lot of people thought that phone booths facilitated crime.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Christy Lee]

That's what Tom always said. Or affairs.

[Tom Griswold]

Christine knows the story. There was a gas station. I used to go to the. I don't know about you, Greg. I tend to go to the same places to get gas and food, and I park in the same place. Anyway, there was. I had my favorite gas station, and there was at that gas station in the parking lot. Us Freestanding phone phone booth. And I remember one. This guy drives up, he's on his cell phone, parks the car, gets out, walks over to the pay phone and makes a phone call. Now, I. Something's going, he's either having an affair or it's a drug deal. Right, right.

[Greg Warren]

Or he just likes variety, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

This signal too clear. Let me pull over.

[Josh Arnold]

Over it maybe.

[Greg Warren]

No, I think, I think you're right because I. They started. There was a thing that went down in 1967. Some guy, Charles Katz placed some illegal gambling bets on a cell phone and they tapped it and then that case, you know, went all the way up to I think supreme court. And they were like, is that public or private? And pretty quickly they were allowed to test tap to wiretap cell phones if they had. And if you guys have ever seen the. The show the wire, which I think is the best television show ever. All about that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now, yeah, Google Steve Jobs and his early career at the rigging the payphones.

[Greg Warren]

I don't want to Google that. They'll think I'm trying to do some illegal stuff too.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not, I'm not sure that technology really is necessary anymore. You don't have to fool a payphone that you, you're trying to make a long distance call and not pay the bill. Greg Warren is our guest. Greg, you got some more gigs coming up.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, quite a few men. We just added a third show in Charleston next week which I'm excited about.

[Tom Griswold]

[Greg Warren]

Boy, I can't remember the last time they wrote an article in the paper about my act. So I, I would either way, Tom, I think I'm winning there.

[Chick McGee]

By the way, comedian is baffo last act.

[Tom Griswold]

Greg Warren's act. Act is terrific. You can see see some of his recent work. The salesman on Nate Bargazzi's network. And prior to that, let's see. I think. Did I tell you that I ran into a guy and he was a. He's a farmer and has like 150,000 acres in Kansas and turned him onto the Greg Warren comedy because you've got where the field corn grows.

[Chick McGee]

Poor guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we're going to talk with comedian Reno Collier. We have Christy Lee at the Silac insurance news desk. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Reno Collier]

Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely delicious.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Your adjective use is wonderful. Punk. O.

[Chick McGee]

Are you silly? Having the edibles at night, they're starting to really sneak into your day after you know that, right?

[Tom Griswold]

You know the only edible I had last night night was sweet corn. And it was great.

[Chick McGee]

Did you do it in the microwave?

[Tom Griswold]

And first, the first great sweet corn of the year.

[Christy Lee]

All you ate was sweet corn?

[Tom Griswold]

I had some lettuce.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, that sounds amazing.

[Christy Lee]

That sounds wonderful. You didn't have a hamburger.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you seen the rabbit out there? That's jealous.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen the way that you can cut off the end of a ear of corn all you don't have to peel it and you microwave it. Microwave it. And then when it's done you just squeeze it out. It just all comes out. No hair on it or anything. It's amazing. You need to go online and find that.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm confused. Instead of shucking the corn.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You just leave it in the husk.

[Chick McGee]

You leave in the husk, cut one end off. Right. Or something like that.

[Christy Lee]

Then you put a little bit of water underneath to steam it underneath one of the.

[Tom Griswold]

But then can you do you eat it off the cob?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, where else would you do it?

[Chick McGee]

No. Then you stick your head in the microwave and suck the corn off. Off the floor of the microwave is what you do. It's really delicious that way.

[Josh Arnold]

Your corn skewers, do they look like corn cobs?

[Tom Griswold]

I love those.

[Josh Arnold]

You have to have that.

[Chick McGee]

I do, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't want to know somebody who doesn't have the corn.

[Chick McGee]

I have those and I also have. They look like little keys on the end. Those are fun.

[Christy Lee]

I have some that look like loads of so post too.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Corn cobs.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Got to be the corn.

[Chick McGee]

Now.

[Christy Lee]

Do you ever eat sugar in your water when you're boiling your corn?

[Tom Griswold]

No. You're supposed to do that.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. I recommend it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Makes it even sweeter.

[Christy Lee]

So good.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I gotta write all these tips down. I have no idea.

[Chick McGee]

You ever put any sugar in your water? Whiskey in your tea? Crazy questions you're asking me. Mama told me not to come. Don't you dare come.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't come, son.

[Christy Lee]

Three Dog Night were at the fair recently, Dom. You didn't stick around to see the Three Dog Night?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's a great Randy Newman's song that they cover. Do a nice, nice job with it. Oh, we're talking to Christy Lee. She's right over there at the Silac Insurance news desk. We missed anything.

[Christy Lee]

Britain's most tattooed man claims he cannot access porn because his tattoos confused the new age verification system.

[Josh Arnold]

That. Right.

[Christy Lee]

Since July 25, horn sites in the UK must conduct strict age checks which involve asking users to supply a credit card and a photo ID that matches a selfie.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I see.

[Christy Lee]

The man's name is Matthew Whelan. He has changed his name to King of Ink Land. King Body Art, the Extreme Ink.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

He is reportedly the most tattooed man in the UK and says the system thinks he is wearing a mask and bars him from using any porn.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, I like the King of Ink Land.

[Tom Griswold]

That's only the first part of it.

[Chick McGee]

Then.

[Tom Griswold]

That's his legal name. Name. We had this guy in the news a few years ago when they wouldn't issue him a passport.

[Christy Lee]

The system also denies the photo and legal name on his id. Yeah, they. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean this is kind of what happens these. You make sacrifices when you decide to be a canvas.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. His entire face is minute.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's really scary looking.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It gets to be off putting, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah. If you met him and would it be possible for you to have any conversation with him other than why all the tattoos. What were you thinking? Oh, or, like, you could ask, what's your favorite football team? You haven't.

[Tom Griswold]

You just.

[Chick McGee]

Are you married?

[Tom Griswold]

You just. Do you. Do you ignore that?

[Chick McGee]

I. I think you do.

[Christy Lee]

Would you talk to him?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think you. I think there might be a circumstance in which it might be appropriate.

[Chick McGee]

There he is. Okay, you know what? I stand corrected. I don't want anything to do with it. Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Would you be scared or fascinated and want to talk to him?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

That's just.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, something went wrong. Yeah, something went wrong. I mean, one of his eyes is even inked, which they say, unless you love being blind, don't do that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He's got his eyeball blacked out. It's just.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hideous.

[Chick McGee]

Look, I've always heard that once you get one tail T tattoo, that's not enough. You need to get. You start getting them. And I stopped at 8 or 9. Or.

[Josh Arnold]

Tattoos and bumper stickers seem to be addictive.

[Chick McGee]

But the. Yeah, the. That's okay.

[Christy Lee]

That's enough.

[Tom Griswold]

His. His whole face is kind of blue and just really awful.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. He's so.

[Tom Griswold]

So he's saying that the technology that recognizes you on a porn site, or whatever it is, this filter so that the government knows you're 18. You won't recognize him. You think that that would be very recognizable.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but it doesn't match his id, Right. He needs to get a new ID that will match his cell phone.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah, but do you think. So they do this in the states now, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Some states.

[Tom Griswold]

Most of the porn sites you have to have a.

[Josh Arnold]

Depends on what state you live in. For instance, Missouri, you don't. Indiana, you do.

[Tom Griswold]

So you drive over there.

[Josh Arnold]

I've been known to whack it at a welcome. A welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

The rest. Welcoming. Rest area. Oh, now that.

[Chick McGee]

I can do it without a welcome center. You get.

[Tom Griswold]

But don't you think.

[Chick McGee]

You get a cardinal's hat? And you.

[Tom Griswold]

If you do that, aren't you going on some list if you do that? Don't you think.

[Josh Arnold]

What kind of list? Oh, if you.

[Christy Lee]

What if you whack it at a rest center? Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

If you insert your ID to go on some porno site.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, maybe I haven't done it. I don't care. And I. I know we joke a lot, but I. My interest in porn has waned so significantly.

[Chick McGee]

Don't you think that Tom will never, ever, ever, ever admit to anyone that he's masturbated? That's What? I. Yeah, he hasn't.

[Josh Arnold]

It's kind of lame. Why don't you just tell us the last time you.

[Tom Griswold]

I just finished.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now you're. Now you're being silly.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I. That would be concerning to me to have to insert my driver's license. You don't know where that's going.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't love that idea. I mean, I haven't done it.

[Tom Griswold]

The people who want to show you the movie All Hands On Dick. I'm not sure how trustworthy are with my driver's license information and my credit card.

[Chick McGee]

What's the name of that movie?

[Tom Griswold]

All Hands On Dick. It's got kind of a navy theme.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we know what you're in.

[Christy Lee]

Although I was going to say.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The wax from the army. Coming up, we have the escaping monitor lizard. It's very scary. We have a brawl at Chuck E. Cheese and hot dogs. Hot dog on the road again. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Fair coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Tom Griswold]

We were just talking to the great comedian Greg Warren about something. And before we get to Reno Collier apparently been kicked out of his house.

[Christy Lee]

He's gonna fall from his garage.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Reno. Didn't even see you up there. Are you in your garage? Is that your garage?

[H]

Yes, sir, I am. I got a house full of kids. It's summertime. I'm out here with the popsicles and.

[Chick McGee]

The whatever and the lawnmower.

[Christy Lee]

I have that same lawnmower. I think.

[Chick McGee]

Do you? Yeah. Yeah.

[H]

It's killer, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. I got.

[H]

What else is back there? There's my bike.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

And drying my work gloves on the handlebars.

[Chick McGee]

So. Welcome to my garage, everybody within five minutes. How long have you been up?

[H]

Four.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We were talking with Greg Warren about payphones. And I was trying to remember who it was and I looked it up. J. Paul Getty was one of the wealthiest men in the world. World. And he had a payphone installed in his mansion for his guests to use. He was so cheap.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

And he had locks on the dials of his regular phones so his guests couldn't make Long distance phone calls.

[Chick McGee]

How do you not name a kid Spa if your last name's Gaddy?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there was the. Remember that? There was the character. There was the character J. Pauline Spaghetti.

[Christy Lee]

I love it.

[Tom Griswold]

In one of those cartoons.

[Chick McGee]

I don't remember that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I forget which one it was. I can certainly find out. And then the Steve Jobs thing is true, too. He developed that blue box, and he famously said there'd be no Apple had it not been for him. And Wozniak figuring out a way to hack payphones back in the early 70s so they wouldn't have to put money in to make long distance calls. And he sold them to kids on college campuses. They could call home for free. And that leads to Apple Computers. Reno. Now, you're going to be doing a secret project. I guess it's been moved to next month. Is that correct?

[H]

Yes, sir, it has. I'm sorry, buddy. It's. We're going to do it in September, and so I'll take the off for a little while and then.

[Tom Griswold]

You can't discuss the nature of it.

[H]

Not camp. And they're still doing this stuff with the network, but it's going to be. It's going to be killer. I am so.

[Tom Griswold]

So a couple real quick questions. You don't have to answer them. Will you be fully clothed for.

[H]

I just got everything for all of it except one episode. And I'm not kidding. I'm kind of. I've been at the gym. That's why my bike is out again. Because as soon as I heard that, they're like, you're gonna derobe? And I was like, oh, dude, this is gonna look like pudding. You know, I gotta do. So I'm trying to do it. I'm trying to lose weight as fast.

[Chick McGee]

As I can again.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, yeah, it's not.

[H]

It's sucked. It's not happening. It just, you know.

[Chick McGee]

You know what's good for losing weight is start smoking again. That'll do it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that helps curb appetite.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean, again?

[H]

Yeah, shut up.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean, start?

[H]

No, that's a great idea, Chick. If I was. So start again, because I quit 20 years ago.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you did.

[H]

Any insurance policy would surely know that. I can only imagine.

[Tom Griswold]

Our guest is comedian Reno Collins. And are you gonna do any road gigs this month or did you cancel?

[Chick McGee]

I am.

[H]

No, man, I'm. I'm gonna be at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada, this Friday, and I'm gonna be in Laughlin, Nevada, on Saturday at the Edge Lounge. And I'm gonna let Larry the cable guy do like an hour. Guess that.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice, man.

[H]

Yeah, yeah. And then we're going to Huron, South Dakota and Deadwood, South Dakota.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

End of the month.

[H]

Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Plugging along.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you get him to maybe have a huge sign out in front of the casino that says Reno and huge letters in Reno and you're standing there.

[H]

I already set that up. It's going to be written everywhere when I get there.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, your name's Reno. Get it?

[H]

I know. Did you know how annoying that is? I mean, honest to God, it is the most annoying.

[Chick McGee]

If.

[H]

If I could skip one city in the country, it would be there.

[Josh Arnold]

We just heard how annoying it was.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's why I did it.

[H]

Oh, you know what, Josh? How about five more minutes of that, buddy?

[Josh Arnold]

Not you, not you, Reno.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I meant the boss man.

[H]

Kidding. I'm kidding, man.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what, what is it Is.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you conceived here? Were you conceived?

[H]

Yeah, I was right underneath the golden nugget. My mom was a prostitute. My dad was a street preacher, and that's how I became a comedian.

[Chick McGee]

I'll be damned.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the slogan? The city slogan of Reno? Isn't it the biggest little something.

[H]

Little city?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the big. The biggest little city in the world?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, in the world.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow. In the world.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, the world. That should be great. Coming up this Friday with Larry the Cable Guy. Time now for an exercise in. In deeply thought out commentary.

[H]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't get much of that on TV anymore. They used to have the general manager of the TV station come out and I want to tell you about these hippies.

[Greg Warren]

These hippies?

[Josh Arnold]

No, that is kind of what Reno does.

[H]

That's exactly what I'm about to do. So these damn hippies.

[Tom Griswold]

The Southern fried take. Country fried take. Excuse me, what have you got for us today?

[H]

So it's that time of year again where everything is about back to school sales. Let's get ready for the best year ever. As many of you know, I was a PE teacher before I started doing whatever this is. I describe that job as a teacher like every TV show I've ever gotten. It's known as a short lived laugher. This time of year always reminds me of one of the last conversations I had with my fellow educators. They were all cracking jokes about how all I do is jack the kids up during my class and they won't calm down enough to learn the things they need in real life from the real classes and I'm like, now listen. At this time, I was not a paid comedian. I'd done a little open mic, but I was already treating the people around me as if they were hecklers. I had a strong three minute set on farting in the bank tube and shooting it back in at the tellers in the human aquarium. So I figured, why not take this time to work on my crowd work. I started with, well, let me ask you a question, Mrs. Henderson. What do you teach?

[Chick McGee]

Lunch. Lunch?

[H]

She's like, no, I teach art, where children learn to express themselves. Why would you say lunch like? Because it looks to me like your kids eat more paste than they get on the paper. Talk about having a tough class to follow. At least I'm not gluing their mouths shut. What you're doing is violating their rights to freedom of speech. You want to know what the kids say in my class? They say math and science sucks.

[Chick McGee]

Suck.

[H]

And you want to know why they say it? Because I make them 25 times before I'll let them take off in a dead sprint to try to decapitate their classmates with a red, perfectly deflated dodgeball. That, my friend, is a real life lesson. You get hit in the head with a ball and you're out. That's real life. And don't get me started on math. If John has to fly from Dallas to Tampa at 4 o' clock but a ride by 7, where's John at 5? My money is on still sitting in Dallas with a two hour layover, eating a $45 turkey sandwiches in a truck stop sandwich container, trying to find the international terminal while riding in a Disney train so he can suck down five cigarettes so he doesn't end up on a list. Nobody knows the answers to your sleight of hand stupid math questions. What's why? What are you, a philosopher? What year was the War of 1812? Nobody knows that stupid stuff. The lesson that you guys are actually teaching these kids is to sit at a desk for eight hours in a controlled environment, shut your mouth and speak when spoken to. Y' all are a bunch of commies. These kids are big balls of anxiety because they're caged. You can't tell me that every job environment wouldn't be better with a rack of dodgeballs in the office. Hey, Frank, you got that paperwork I've been waiting on for two weeks?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[H]

And you calmly walk over to the rack and pipe one right in the side of Frank's head. I mean, leaving a gorbach off on there for a couple hours. Your Stress is gone and Frank has learned a valuable lesson. Now I must say, to me, that was a great day. I left soon after there and all the teachers had a huge going away party for me at Chili's. I mean, it was a big deal, or at least that's what I heard. They didn't bite me.

[Chick McGee]

But.

[H]

What I want the parents out there to think about is when you're at a parent teacher conference and you look in that gym and see the lonely guy in the bike football shorts with a collared shirt sitting in a fold out chair on the foul line, just walk past and leave them alone. If you piss him off, you might end up with a Gorbach off yourself. I'm Reno Collier and that's my country fried take.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Reno. I love the notion of the Gorbachev off.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[H]

Oh, the Gorbachev was the best, dude. Somebody gets popped and that's on there for like three periods after class this.

[Tom Griswold]

Friday with Larry the Cable guy. You can find Reno in Reno. And then if I'm not mistaken, Saturday, it's Laughlin, Nevada. Is that right?

[H]

Yes, sir, at Casino there. I lost the page. Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

At the.

[H]

I love my favorite place in the world is the says here Edge Lounge in Lafla, Nevada.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, thank you, Reno.

[Chick McGee]

Love you guys.

[H]

Have a great week, everybody. See y'.

[Chick McGee]

All.

[Josh Arnold]

See ya.

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have radioactive wasps in the news.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, yeah, the flying kind.

[Chick McGee]

It's about time.

[Josh Arnold]

Not the country club.

[Christy Lee]

That, that.

[Chick McGee]

Is that what you did with that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, clarify.

[Chick McGee]

All right, I see we have ball.

[Christy Lee]

Pythons and we have a monitor lizard update coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't help but noticing. Roger, I can see you in the dark. I'm radio.

[Chick McGee]

I can see you in the dark.

[Tom Griswold]

We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Jess Hooker's here. Hi. There's Josh on Arnold. Hello. Ace Cosby.

[Greg Warren]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Thank O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. I'm Chick McGee and here's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I brought Ms. Hooker in because she is certainly an authoritative voice in the world of food. She's a very fine cook.

[Chick McGee]

Cook.

[Tom Griswold]

And I had the first really high quality sweet corn of the summer over the weekend.

[I]

It is that time of year.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my God. And then I also had a. Our handyman, Mike brought in some of his tomatoes.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I had some last night.

[Tom Griswold]

And his cucumbers, which he, he was telling me he, he cooked them on a trellis. Excuse me. He grew them on a trellis. So they grew straight down. So they're perfect. And they're.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But the reason I called you in here, when you make sweet corn, first of all, do you do this trick where you put sugar in the water that Christy was telling me about?

[I]

I don't. I know people that do, but yeah, I don't. No, I like, I, I'm, I'm salt. I like a lot of salt, a lot of butter, a lot of salt.

[Christy Lee]

And then, well, after it's cooked. Yeah, I'm a wither on that.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. Do you, here's the question. When you eat it, do you have the little tong things, whatever the sticker, and are they shaped, are they shaped like corn, corn?

[I]

I don't think they are. Now that you say that. I don't think they are. I think they're like. I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

They're lesser than.

[I]

Yeah, yeah. They are like robot ears or something. It looks like the thing on top of the lamp. What's that called?

[Josh Arnold]

A finial dabra.

[I]

Almost like that. That's basically what it looks like.

[Christy Lee]

What a pampered chef. I have those. What's that, red, white, yellow and blue?

[I]

Yeah, I think so.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What's it called, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

A finial dabra is a topper on either a lap or a. A post.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Even the Christmas tree.

[Tom Griswold]

The.

[Josh Arnold]

Any topper on there will be a finial dabra.

[Christy Lee]

I love that word.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like a sex term. I gave her the finial dabra. Sometimes you won't walk right for a week.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, that's. You found the one that doesn't sound like a sex.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that was amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be the medical description of it. So now here's the key to this. Where the rubber meets the road, if you will. When it comes to eating corn.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you go. A certain person that I know eats it. How do I describe this? They just. They just twirl it toward themselves and they eat, like, the first inch.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Typewriter style.

[I]

Yeah. I'm row by row.

[Tom Griswold]

And then they. Then they.

[Chick McGee]

Then they move.

[Tom Griswold]

Then they move over left, left, right, and eat another one around.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm one. I'm one of those people, Tom.

[I]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

You are?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You do what?

[Josh Arnold]

Whenever. The last. I've got. I haven't had corn on the COB.

[Chick McGee]

In probably 15 years. I am around and round instead of.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't. You don't go across the side.

[I]

No, it's like mouth width around, right? Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And then move down.

[Chick McGee]

And then move down.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe that's how I do it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

But I know everybody has their own style.

[Christy Lee]

I go this way.

[I]

Yeah. I'm like two rows at a time, probably.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. I also deep throat. Deep throat mine before. I see.

[Tom Griswold]

Trying to have a legitimate conversation.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, is there. Is there considered to be an. A polite way to eat corn? I mean.

[I]

I mean, I think people cut it off of the cob that way. I like that, too. It's like a special veggie potato chip.

[Chick McGee]

Tool that does, like, a circle. And you can.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[I]

I've seen those.

[Chick McGee]

Just ram it down on the. And it takes all the corn off at one time.

[Tom Griswold]

I think you put it on a lathe.

[Christy Lee]

It's.

[I]

It's similar to, like a apple slicer.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah, it's like that.

[Tom Griswold]

But that's no fun.

[I]

Have you guys heard of corn milk?

[Christy Lee]

Yep. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Sounds Awful.

[I]

Yeah, it's. It's not delicious. Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's. It's. You extract the milkiness from the corn.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[I]

And you can make cocktails with it or it can be based.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys all seem to love corn. I'm, like, indifferent.

[Chick McGee]

No, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[I]

When I was a kid, we would. My brother and I, if we had to feed ourselves, would be a can of corn and so much country crock. It was like a soup.

[Tom Griswold]

It was.

[I]

It was insane.

[Christy Lee]

At this time of year, you can literally eat corn raw. It's so good. I've done it. I like it. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Never pull the car over, Tom, and jump out into.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that field.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that. As Greg Warren has pointed out, that's where the field corn grows.

[I]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Probably meant for feeding.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Field corn. Not the same. No, I'm talking about sweet corn.

[Chick McGee]

You got enough butter and salt?

[I]

We were talking about this, too, the other day. Tomatoes, obviously in season. How's. How do you guys eat your tomatoes? Ours is cottage cheese and tomatoes.

[Christy Lee]

Salad every day.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. I do the caprese.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, me too.

[Chick McGee]

Mozzarella and the basil.

[Christy Lee]

Fresh glaze.

[Chick McGee]

That brown vinegar. That's really sweet. What is that, balsamic? Nope, nope.

[I]

My white trash is showing. It's cottage cheese, tomatoes, and lowry seasonings.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I guess I'll slice it and put on.

[Chick McGee]

Is there anything better? Better than a ripe tomato? And is there anything worse than an unripe?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, all the margin is huge.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think so. That's one of the problems with fast food.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

They're gonna put that tomato on there in January, and it's kind of tastes like the packaging of the hamburger, the foam. But, yeah, it is the season. I was just curious if I. I was receiving some criticism from certain members of my family because I was eating the corn across.

[Josh Arnold]

You're fine.

[I]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's.

[I]

That's okay.

[Christy Lee]

I think it's normal.

[I]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Apparently so dainty to eat it in the. And just sort of twist it toward oneself.

[Josh Arnold]

Do it however you want.

[Chick McGee]

My dad would eat corn across, but it would end up looking almost square. And I don't know how he did that to this day.

[Josh Arnold]

The cob itself would look square.

[Chick McGee]

Would look square when he would put it on the plate. Yeah. Wow. I was mystified. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So what he. Then he would just do essentially four runs across the thing, I think, and then turn it, and he would. He would dig fairly deep because he's probably getting whatever is.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you got to try to do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he's getting part of the body of the corn.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Josh, I'm sorry you don't really enjoy corn as much as I.

[Josh Arnold]

Fine. It's just nothing. I. I rarely ever have it. I don't. To me, our. The. The American diet is already so filled with corn that I just stay away from corn.

[Chick McGee]

Corn syrup and corn. Yeah, it's a big fan.

[Josh Arnold]

Kind of slowly killing us.

[I]

What's your favorite summer go to, like, this time of year? Is it tomatoes or is it something fresh from the garden?

[Chick McGee]

Garden.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, I'm. Nothing.

[I]

Nothing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. No, I'm not a. Yeah, it's all fine to me.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I just want, you know, I'm here.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm holding back. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't care about.

[Chick McGee]

Is there anything that you look forward to seasonally that any. Any food?

[Josh Arnold]

Pumpkin stuff in the fall? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that stuff a lot, but I. I get good beefsteak tomatoes year round, so I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

See, I don't. I don't know if that's my.

[Christy Lee]

Where are you finding.

[Chick McGee]

At the store?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, the beef steak tomato I get at the one grocery store tastes the same in February as it does in July. So I don't know what. I kind of don't know what you guys are talking about.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I feel we're being dismissed. Well, I will enjoy some more sweet corn tonight.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, good.

[Tom Griswold]

Looking forward.

[Christy Lee]

With your lettuce.

[I]

With your lettuce.

[Christy Lee]

That's what he had. Sweet corn and lettuce.

[Chick McGee]

Can you believe that?

[Tom Griswold]

I had some. And I had one of those cucumbers that Mike brought over and.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, okay. No wonder.

[Tom Griswold]

I made a BLT with cucumbers with no bacon. No, no. There was bacon, lettuce, tomato.

[Josh Arnold]

So you ruined the BLT and cucumber.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it gave it a nice crunch.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sort of. Sand, but I'm not putting it on my blt.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute. You didn't have a B on the blt.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I did, but I didn't have bread.

[Josh Arnold]

I needed a bltc.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there you go.

[Christy Lee]

Did you not use bread? You used lettuce leave leaves?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I used bread.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, it's a legit question.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I eat occasionally. Some food.

[I]

That was another thing I saw the other day that said the green part of the watermelon tastes like a cucumber. Like when you get too close to the.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know about that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

It's similar, but I hear that watermelon Juice is really good. That you should save your watermelon juice. Yeah. And drink it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What am I, a hummingbird?

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, have you ever had Mexican street corn?

[Josh Arnold]

I have. Yeah. It was tasty.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That to me.

[Josh Arnold]

And that flavor is being introduced into all kinds of. You can get chips.

[I]

It's everywhere now.

[Chick McGee]

Have you ever pickled. You ever tried a pickle? Like, make your own pickles. You know, pickles, Cucumber. I've always wanted to do this.

[I]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

What year did you realize that pickles were made of cucumbers?

[Chick McGee]

It was well into adulthood.

[Josh Arnold]

Me too.

[Chick McGee]

Like 30, maybe late 20s, but I'm almost certain somewhat time in my 30s. Cucumbers are pickles. What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It was weird when you found that out.

[I]

When you run out of pickles, don't waste your brine. Just cut up some cucumbers and put it in there.

[Josh Arnold]

I started doing that. I buy the mini ones because I love those anyway. They're a crunchy snack.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Are you telling me if I get a cucumber and put it in my horseradish from Boar's Head. Yeah. And it'll end up tasting just like it will.

[Josh Arnold]

And it won't take that long.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[I]

It takes like 24 hours.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[I]

The most.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So do that. Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, guys like olives?

[Chick McGee]

No. Love olives.

[Josh Arnold]

Christie's out.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm out.

[Christy Lee]

I like pickles either.

[Chick McGee]

Every now and then. You don't like food with flavor.

[Christy Lee]

I know.

[Josh Arnold]

Olives has been. Has made one of the biggest turns for me in my life in terms of hating them as a kid and really liking green or black olives. I'm fine with all.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[I]

I just found out black olives aren't real. That's die.

[Chick McGee]

No kids.

[I]

I know. I was very bummed out to hear that.

[Chick McGee]

They don't just grow black olives.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[I]

Oh, she's gonna fact check me.

[Josh Arnold]

That is shocking news.

[Christy Lee]

How do they dye them?

[I]

Well, food dye, I guess. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

So they're green olives. They die black.

[Josh Arnold]

I think there's a tattoo artist doing.

[I]

There's not a natural. Like the. Like the black olives that we see everywhere. Like, that's not a naturally olive.

[Tom Griswold]

Why are they dyeing them?

[I]

I don't know. Maybe to preserve them, make them last longer. I'm not sure.

[Christy Lee]

I don't.

[I]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Black ones are, like, brown.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. I was trying to think of a joke. You took a chance, and I admire you for the effort.

[Chick McGee]

Veto. Vito Corleone made His fortune selling black olives, I think. Black olive oil? I don't know. No, I don't think so.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you don't see black olive oil, do you? There you go.

[Chick McGee]

Well.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Popeye tried that once.

[Chick McGee]

They were way ahead of his time.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The network said, no, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

Bluto threatened to walk if they used to.

[Josh Arnold]

That Bluto was intolerable.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a racist. Well, welcome to the Bob and Tom program. Thanks for joining us. I apologize for everything we've just been saying. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, and this is the Bob and Tom Show. And now, do you grow any of your own vegetables?

[I]

Not this year, no. I just have a giant herb garden. Garden this year.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't want you guys to think I don't. I don't appreciate garden, fresh vegetable. I really do. I love them.

[Christy Lee]

Here's my thing about it.

[Chick McGee]

You don't.

[Christy Lee]

You do all that work and then everything's good for a week. Yeah, it's like, oh, that was a waste.

[Tom Griswold]

Shut up, Christy. Just be sure to bring them to us.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, but don't you. Don't you love that week, though?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I do. It's a lot of work for.

[Tom Griswold]

We had Mike bringing some of his tomatoes. Now, you said you're going to make those into a.

[I]

A sauce. Yeah, I was thinking about. Or salsa. I don't know. But I'm going to do something with him today.

[Chick McGee]

I just don't understand how these, these faceless, just people that no one knows but you all of a sudden become this inner circle and that we haven't been able to live without.

[I]

That's not true.

[Chick McGee]

Mike and his tomatoes and his cucumbers. I don't understand.

[I]

Been around for a very long time.

[Tom Griswold]

There are now. There are more for me. Thank you.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, some. I have a great recipe for cherry tomatoes that I will share with you. It's amazing. They make a great sauce.

[Chick McGee]

You grow them, right?

[Christy Lee]

No, Mike does, and I use Mike's.

[Josh Arnold]

They're making a cherry pie with cherry tomatoes and people hate it.

[I]

You do have to try this, though. There is. There is a tomato pie. Have you seen this?

[Josh Arnold]

I will pass.

[I]

Okay. It's tomato pie.

[Chick McGee]

Sounds like slime.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's a calzone.

[I]

I guess that's what it is.

[Greg Warren]

But no, it's tomato.

[Tom Griswold]

Tomato pie. Sounds like something Al Capone would say to some mall. Yeah, she's a real tomato pie, if you know what I'm saying.

[I]

It's really good.

[Chick McGee]

Is that the rare outtakes from when Bogart tried to do.

[Tom Griswold]

Bogart couldn't touch that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Speaking of food, the Reese's people and Oreo are teaming up to make Reese's Oreo cups and Oreo Reese's cookies.

[Chick McGee]

As Josh would say, come on with this brand.

[Christy Lee]

Said the new products come after years of fan requests. The Reese's Oreo cup will be available at retailers nationwide starting in September. While the Reese's Oreo cups will become a permanent addition to the Reese's portfolio. The cookies will be available just until supplies last.

[Chick McGee]

I remember thinking Oreo. I mean Reese's peanut butter cups with caramel. I don't know. And now I can't live without it. Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I've not had those so good.

[Chick McGee]

So the.

[I]

So the Oreo will have the inside of the Reese's.

[Christy Lee]

Right? There it is.

[Chick McGee]

Cup. Cup.

[I]

Yeah, there you go.

[Chick McGee]

And the Reese's cups will have the inside of Oreo.

[I]

The Reese's cup is not covered in chocolate, but covered in the white filling of the Oreo.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, interesting. Yeah, interesting.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

This all sounds very good.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'll be trying all of it.

[Chick McGee]

Is it ice cream? No, it reminds me of ice cream.

[Christy Lee]

So is that the cookie or. That's the cookie.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the cookie.

[Chick McGee]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

So instead of the white filling in the Oreo, you get what is.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This all looks very, very good.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Worth. Worth checking out.

[Tom Griswold]

With all the problems in the world, this is a nice respite from the incredible tragedies happening everywhere. Okay, I'd like a Reese's.

[Christy Lee]

How would you like put cheese in your coffee? Scandinavian cafes are beginning to offer a type of coffee beverage known as cafost. Keep it signaling a revival of a centuries old tradition. It combines hot coffee with cheese. Hot coffee with a slightly sweet flavor. The cheese softens in the coffee and mimics the effect of adding cream and sugar. The practice has deep roots among the people of northern Sweden and Finland where the combo provided warmth, energy and essential sodium during long cold journeys.

[Josh Arnold]

But it smells like a boiled foot.

[Christy Lee]

Traditionally made from reindeer milk, the cheese now comes in cow and goat milk.

[Chick McGee]

Variations for Christmas time. Reindeer milk.

[Tom Griswold]

Reindeer milk cheese though.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh. So I remember thinking the same thing when I heard. What is that? Ghee and coffee or butter and coffee? Something like that. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

No thanks.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't like but that. It's delicious.

[I]

I like butter coffee.

[Tom Griswold]

So this is a special cheese that goes in your coffee and so. And effectively it's cream though, Right. By the time. Does it float around in chunks?

[Chick McGee]

Do you ever hear About.

[Christy Lee]

So it says it Mel refer to.

[Chick McGee]

A girl as a butter face. You know what I'm.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, she has a great body.

[Chick McGee]

Butter face everything.

[I]

Butter face.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you know, it's just me.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's not nice. Guys can be butter faces too.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, not nearly as often as girls.

[I]

For sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Guys can also be butter dick. I guess it would be butter dick. I love everything. I love everything about him.

[Tom Griswold]

Looks like the. Looks like the gummy just kicked in.

[Chick McGee]

No, but. But I am sh.

[Josh Arnold]

We didn't talk. You sort of glossed over this. Tom's taking gummies now at night.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know that.

[Chick McGee]

No, I. He's saying he's not, but I'm certain he is.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

He's absolutely, absolutely. He. Someone told him. Why don't you dad take a half of this and you'll be able to sleep. And he has. And he's about 90. Goofy all the time.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just in a dispensary in Colorado. I did not bring any back.

[Chick McGee]

I don't have any problem with this at all.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

I like either.

[Christy Lee]

I think it's great.

[Chick McGee]

Goofy beats angry every time.

[Tom Griswold]

Does goofy lead to bufu?

[Josh Arnold]

Case in point.

[Tom Griswold]

You just said. You just said bufu.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, yes, I did, my brother.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I have a question about this coffee. So they put cheese in their coffee. Is it. Wait a minute. I gotta get this right straight. Cheese makes you constipated, right? And coffee does the opposite. This is kind of neutralizing the bowel.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[I]

It's like the four loco for breakfast.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So now I'm wide awake and I can't go. You don't want to be wide awake and constant.

[Chick McGee]

But haven't you really wanted to. Wanted a real bowel wringer every now and then? You know, something to really haul the mail like instantaneously. You've never been constipated at all?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. After I had major surgery, I went 11 days and my great friend. My great friend Dr. Cordell came over and he said, how long has it been? And I said, 11 days. He goes, I'll be right back. And he came back with Miralax pills, suppositories, powder, the whole thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Barbecue tongs. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll tell you what. God bless you, Bill and I. And a couple days later, I gave birth to a sandpaper softball. Just telling you, I'm just. They don't. When you. If you're going for major surgery, by the way, ask your friendly physician, he or she, if you should maybe get on the. What Is it the Metamucil train? Because after that, that anesthetic, whatever it does, it really binds you when you're.

[Josh Arnold]

You're gonna have surgery. Do you think they always. No matter what they're operating on, they always look at your genitals?

[Chick McGee]

I would, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's take a look.

[Chick McGee]

And I bet there are some that always take a picture.

[Christy Lee]

There are some that have gotten some.

[Josh Arnold]

Nurses who got, like, fired.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they did.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently they saw quite a specimen and.

[Chick McGee]

Had pictures passed around.

[Tom Griswold]

The old Stanley Smith joke.

[Josh Arnold]

They ended up.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, is anyone else watching the Pit?

[Josh Arnold]

I did see the Pit.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you watch the whole thing? Yes, our friend Drew Powell Howell.

[Chick McGee]

Did you finally see that?

[Tom Griswold]

I finally saw that episode where he warned me.

[Chick McGee]

I told you, he's his character.

[Josh Arnold]

He's misunderstood, that's all.

[Chick McGee]

And that nurse used to be Dennis Hopper's girlfriend.

[Tom Griswold]

Wife. Wife.

[Chick McGee]

Wife, was it Wife?

[Tom Griswold]

They have a son, and I think.

[Chick McGee]

She'S married to one of the guys from Wings or something.

[Josh Arnold]

I think now she's a lovely actress.

[Tom Griswold]

She's terrific.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

What's her name?

[Chick McGee]

Lassa.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's Laoy.

[Chick McGee]

Chinese food.

[Tom Griswold]

She's great in it.

[Chick McGee]

She says swing American.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you watch her take the drag on that cigarette as you can. You can tell she. She's a pro. She knows how to smoke. I mean, somebody just.

[Chick McGee]

She. If she can smoke a cigarette, she smoke a hole.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not saying that. I think you did a couple things coming up, Christy Lee. You want to tell me what they are?

[Chick McGee]

No, no.

[Christy Lee]

Do the.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I want Josh lost. I want Josh to do the. The what we're going to do when.

[Josh Arnold]

We come back and we're going to return, and we'll do that when we come back.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, see, when I do it, I do it with that authoritative voice. It sounds like it means something, right?

[Josh Arnold]

It takes about three seconds.

[Chick McGee]

It's like. It's like.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like lyrics to Led Zeppelin songs.

[Chick McGee]

Anytime I can get somebody to look at their radio or whatever they're listening to and go, what?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there you go.

[Chick McGee]

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee, Josh Arnold, Jess Hooker, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. We got off on this food thing and I apologize. It's just I'm a big fan of food. Yeah, of course. But of the seasonality of things and, and we live in a culture in which it's everything all the time. I believe Don Henley mentions that in the song. It's. It's nice to be able to. Oh, hey, this, it's fair season or it's, hey, this is a great time for ice cream. In this case, sweet corn and great tomatoes and cucumbers, melons.

[Chick McGee]

You ever heard you scream ice cream? We all scream for ice cream.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[I]

So is ice cream season for you? Summertime.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[I]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll ride our bikes down to the local ice cream place.

[I]

Like a drive up.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Stay off your bike, please.

[Tom Griswold]

I know how to ride a bike.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Christy Lee]

We're not worried about you. We're worried about the other people.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, we're. We're worried about you.

[Tom Griswold]

But I would like to stand at the side of the trail. I go on with a spear.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

And then when people come by real fast, the electric bikes, I'd like to heave them into the spokes.

[I]

I'm surprised those are allowed.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, they. They should start beating people with baseball bats as they come by with those things. I'm going to drive 50 miles an hour so some kid and their dog can get run over.

[I]

Don't you live by the mayor? Can't he pass some thing? Call him up.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

I sure do.

[Chick McGee]

Give him the phone, man.

[Tom Griswold]

I better get him on the horn. I got a bunch of stuff I want done. They're wrong.

[Chick McGee]

They've got different bikes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, we have Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. I know we got a lot to get to. Do you have the radio activity in the news?

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

You promoted it?

[Christy Lee]

Well, I know, but we promoted the plier thing too. So I thought we would do that when we. But federal officials say a radioactive wasps nest was found at a site that once made key parts for nuclear bombs. According to the U.S. department of Energy, employees who routinely check radiation levels at the Savannah river site near Aiken, South Carolina, found the nest on a post near tanks where liquid nuclear waste is stored.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not a scientist, but to me this is the beginning of a really scary movie.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Now, the nest had a radiation level 10 times what is allowed by federal regulations. Workers sprayed the nest with insect killer, removed it and disposed of it as radioactive waste.

[Chick McGee]

And workers had reported seeing the wasps come back to life.

[Tom Griswold]

Why don't we have. What was it? The killer killer bees.

[Chick McGee]

Killer hornets of the murder hornets.

[Josh Arnold]

But they were just murdering other insects. They weren't murder.

[Chick McGee]

Smaller bees decapitating them. Yeah. Oh, wow.

[Christy Lee]

I got rid of those.

[Tom Griswold]

I was like having a house near there. You do a lot of real estate, Christy. Can you imagine? Well, let's see now. It's some kind of radiation leak. Oh, and then there are the irradiated wasps.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't realize they were all different kinds of wasps. I had to. I had two of them in my screen and porch that I had to take care of recently. And they were like. Had like blue on them. They were crazy looking.

[Tom Griswold]

I went to a concert with a couple of wasps not too long ago. I say, Biff, did you see the.

[Chick McGee]

Avett Brothers.

[Tom Griswold]

Before Five. Okay. I know you're, you're itching to get to this other store.

[Christy Lee]

In Oklahoma, a truck involved in a multi car crash was being steered with pliers. The Oklahoma City Fire Department said crews responding to the scene shocked to find one of the vehicles was missing its steering wheel and instead had vice grips attached to the steering column.

[Tom Griswold]

I have, I have list this, my, my buddy Paul up in Harbor Springs.

[Christy Lee]

No injuries were reported, but the incident does highlight the importance of keeping everybody your vehicle in proper working order.

[Chick McGee]

I, I couldn't understand vice grips. I mean I couldn't understand pliers.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

They're essentially channel vice grips. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Makes sense, right?

[Christy Lee]

So. Yeah, he's just locking on.

[Tom Griswold]

You're supposed to have your, your hands at. What is it, 10 and 2, huh? Oh, officer. They're primarily at 6 because that's where I'm. No, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

We, Paul was doing something to his car and then one day he had. I was terrified. Yeah, he eventually fixed it, but yeah, that's got to be some kind of.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that the way they, they. There were steering wheels though, weren't there tillers in the Model Ts?

[Tom Griswold]

I think, I don't think the Model T like some of the earlier, earlier models had a kind of a tiller.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Down like for a boat.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't they try steering wheels on bicycles for a while?

[Chick McGee]

I, I wanted, I desperately wanted one.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I remember that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You take the handlebars off and put the steering wheel. No.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, that's fine.

[Chick McGee]

Bad ass, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow. Anyway, yeah, please don't do that. Don't, don't, don't have your car controlled by your. Although vice grips, a very fine tune tool. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because if they were regular players, if you lost your grip at all, you'd be completely screwed. We remain in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this remains the Bob and Tom Show.
