Episode Overview

This morning, the BOB & TOM crew lean into the holiday spirit (and accompanying calamities) with stories of Christmas gig fails, weird holiday shortages (giant Santas, anyone?), listener letters packed with dog stories and sandwich debates, and the delightfully random world records of David Rush. The episode bounces between sports talk, awkward bodily injuries, the real meaning of a “good co-worker,” and a string of memorable running gags about songs, snacks, and family disasters. A surprise visit from world-record-breaker David Rush delivers a high-energy highlight, and Allie Breen joins for the signature “Sexy Time” relationship advice segment, full of relatable and ridiculous listener dilemmas.

The Episode’s Heart & Humor

Language & Tone:

• Irreverent and self-deprecating; plenty of off-the-cuff wordplay and running gags.
• Panelists are quick to tease each other, jump down rabbit holes, and return to recurring inside jokes (like “being a good co-worker,” Chick’s Ohio heritage, or Tom’s odd purchases).
• The blending of earnest stories with outrageous punchlines (and the willingness to discuss farts, holiday mishaps, and work fights) is classic BOB & TOM.

For New Listeners:
Expect tangents, a rotating set of in-jokes, and a generous helping of both absurdity and genuine warmth. Though some bits get a little blue or salty, the show moves fast, and the banter feels like a real family radio at Christmastime—with all the chaos and laughter that entails.

---

Final Shoutouts

• Contact & Contest:
  • Listeners are urged to write in ([e-mail]) and enter the weekly football pick contest for a shot at Steven Singer jewels.
• Merch Plugs & Sponsor Moments:
  • Raycon earbuds, Omaha Steaks, Simplisafe, and Silac insurance get (occasionally sarcastic) endorsement.
• The Running Gag of the Day:
  • “Dominic the Donkey” as earworm, object of dread, and eventual team favorite.

---

Listen For…

• Brilliantly awkward Christmas party/stand-up disaster
• The politics of dog diets and farts (for both canines & humans)
• Manwich origin puns (“Earl of Manwich”)
• David Rush’s upbeat obsession with record-breaking, and the panel’s love/hate admiration
• “Most Annoying Christmas Songs”—with live Lou Monte donkey sound effects
• “Sexy Time” relationships: used condoms, secret infidelities, and whether glasses should stay on in bed
• Endless hijacking of stories for one-liners, wild puns, and mock outrage

[Pat Godwin]

And I don't. I have no idea what had gone.

[Tom Griswold]

Wrong with this company.

[Chick McGee]

It was like a media buyers group.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, literally, I'm seven minutes in, nothing, and I'm clean. And I'm going, what is wrong?

[Pat Godwin]

And I. And people started to shun me.

[Tom Griswold]

Literally. They were like, they would turn their.

[Pat Godwin]

Backs and they're looking down and they wouldn't even face me. And I go, I'm totally serious. They were turning around.

[Chick McGee]

I could hear their chairs.

And rip me off.

[Chick McGee]

So I get done with it.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm like, thank you, good night.

[Pat Godwin]

And nobody claps.

[Tom Griswold]

Then I had to walk through the.

[Chick McGee]

Audience to get to the lady in the back with the check.

[Pat Godwin]

I had to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm like walking. I can hear my feet.

That's it. And this lady was in the back.

[Chick McGee]

Room with this check in her hand, and she.

[Pat Godwin]

And she said it loud enough so.

[Tom Griswold]

That everyone could hear. To save her own, you know, to.

[Chick McGee]

Save her own bacon or whatever.

[Pat Godwin]

And she goes, well, I hope you're happy.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is never good for starters.

[David Rush]

Then she goes, oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

She goes, I hope you're happy.

[Pat Godwin]

You've ruined Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

And hello, Mr. And Mrs. Norton. North America and all around the world, it's the Bob and Tom Show.

We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Christy Lee]

Chick Magee.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. I loved you in Duck Soup, by the way. There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick Magee at the Prize Pick sports desk.

Hey, Tom. How you doing, buddy? Good. Okay. Welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Christy, you look like you're gonna go out into the woods and do some camping. I like that little flannel. It's very nice. Very good.

[Christy Lee]

Planet Wednesday.

[Chick McGee]

Good pattern.

[Christy Lee]

Thanks.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Let me see that. Yeah, let me see. Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Isn't that something?

[Chick McGee]

That ruins it. Oh, wow. I mean, it's beautiful. I'm sorry. I'm still trying to be a good co worker. It's beautiful.

[Christy Lee]

I'm gonna pay for that.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Over it.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

The back of it looks like my Aunt Mark's old couch.

[Christy Lee]

There you go. That's what we're looking for.

[Tom Griswold]

It's kind of fun.

[Chick McGee]

This show almost runs itself. We just have to remember our lines, that's all.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you. What's happening in your life? Things going okay over there?

[Chick McGee]

We had an incident yesterday with the fire. You know, check local listings. Decades or what time it is, and you're where you're sleeping, but I have a real wood fireplace. And I was putting wood in the fire place yesterday. I got a splinter from one of the. Oh. And it went in about. From the tip of my left thumb up to my elbow.

And I don't know if you could see it from there, but the nail has come away from the bed.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, man.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's.

[Pat Godwin]

I have gloves.

[Chick McGee]

And for. I. I had gloves. Was in a hurry.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it still in there?

[Chick McGee]

No, I think I got it, but. And you know, I recently switched over to all button fly jeans. I've always wanted to do that.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I didn't Know that?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. All button fly.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

And with a. With a dumb thumb. That's. You need your thumb to button.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, man.

[Chick McGee]

You can't. You can't button without your thumb.

[Pat Godwin]

You take. Take for granted the. The role the thumb plays in, but.

[Chick McGee]

Sure do.

[Tom Griswold]

And what's the logic behind the button fly jeans?

[Chick McGee]

I just always have one of the pair of button fly jeans.

[Tom Griswold]

Slow things down, those delicate moments.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. A little more of a tease.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I see what you're saying.

[Chick McGee]

I think I saw a commercial when I was a kid, and I always had husky je. That they didn't make button flies and huskies because they evidently thought fat kids couldn't button. I guess. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Now Chick is slim and trim and he can wear nice jeans.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's a nice. An odd way to congratulate yourself, but sure, why not?

[Chick McGee]

Why not? Thank you, Tom. Thank you for validating me. I appreciate that.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd be concerned with this particular. The nature of what we do. Sometimes it's imperative that one can get that. Get in and out, zipper down, quickly. Yeah. You know, you gotta get the check that.

[Pat Godwin]

It's odd how the body wants to remove the splinter. Did you ever get those feelings of like.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Kind of a constant throb? Like, I mean, the body is sort of. It literally is pushing the splinter out.

[Chick McGee]

It told me I. I went back in two or three times because there was something going on, and I think I finally got all of it.

[Pat Godwin]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it was. It was exciting.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, good.

[Chick McGee]

The pain was exquisite. Yeah, it's unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I spent a couple of hours at the hospital yesterday. One of my girls has a. Now has a nice cast. She did break her arm, but it's interesting. It's a. They give you the cast now they. The way they put them on, it's like a gauze that they wrap with some kind of stuff and.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the old plaster cast. Remember those?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Man, oh, man.

[Christy Lee]

What color did she pick?

[Tom Griswold]

That's the thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that was a. That's a big can.

[Tom Griswold]

I guess it's like a paint store. They walk out, they give you the 10 chips.

[Chick McGee]

Don't say. I'm going to say kind of a light purple.

[Tom Griswold]

That was one of the options. But going with pink, she opted for black. I believe the phrase was that way. Dad, you can't sign it. Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

What? All right, how about you say, hey, now I sign it and pay for it.

[Tom Griswold]

Or how about this?

[Chick McGee]

For those of you amateur and professional psychiatrists out there, you can weigh in if you'd like emails. Bob and Tom and Bob and Tom dot com.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the. The nurse who was putting it on said, o no, he can sign it. They have special silver pens.

[Christy Lee]

I was going to say we have silver Sharpies.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't we. Didn't we spend. And this is a joke. But I. It's close to this. A quarter of a million dollars trying to find a silver pen and. Or a gold pen to sign posters that you insisted were going to be in black or. I'm not sure if that was the.

[Tom Griswold]

I have one right here.

[Chick McGee]

Or the artistic director or whoever the hell does those. I. You know, instead of making a post.

[Christy Lee]

Of it, they were like paint pens.

[Tom Griswold]

GR grid on black background.

[Pat Godwin]

They're called paint pins and they have two modes. They either.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Barely work or work too well.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Paint splashes on your shirt as you're.

[Tom Griswold]

Writing or streaks and you have to push them in. Yeah, you're doing a great job. You push them in to load that. You push in the tip to load them.

[Chick McGee]

Shake it up. Let me hear you shake it up. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This one doesn't. This one is maybe too old. Yeah. They have a little like a. It's like old spray paint cans. You'd shake them and hear the BB inside going around.

[Chick McGee]

I could never spray paint. I always put too much paint on a lot of runs.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it's an art.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of runs.

[Christy Lee]

My husband loves spray paint. He spray painted everything.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Sounds like a. Sounds like a huffer to me. Think he's huffing?

[Pat Godwin]

He may be huffing stuff outside. That's why I think graffiti is so impressive, because I've. I've never gotten the balance right. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

And some of those kids, the higher up they go with the graffiti, it's the more stature. And they hang upside down.

[Pat Godwin]

How do they do it?

[Chick McGee]

Spray paint upside down.

[Tom Griswold]

I just hope most of them fall to their death. I can't stand graffiti.

[Chick McGee]

Well, so much for that fun conversation.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just disgusting.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it is an art form, though.

[Chick McGee]

You don't think some graffiti is an actual art and should be admired?

[Tom Griswold]

Just open a museum of it.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly so. But you hate it all in the subways.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. It's just unpleasant. Okay. Taki116, we know where you are.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I'm sorry about Finn's arm.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, she's. She's gonna be fine.

[Chick McGee]

How'd she break her arm? Can we know?

[Tom Griswold]

Ice skating.

[Pat Godwin]

Ah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Wonder she didn't break her elbow or something.

[Tom Griswold]

That's where it is. It's on her elbow. Yeah. Though that ice. That ice is hard. Yeah, yeah. Forget about that. But, yeah. So that was fun. Fun time. Nice. Bunch of nice people there. Now, coming up, we have interesting news from the world of sports. I already. I already had questions and chicks already mad about them.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not mad. I'm not mad at all. I told you I knew what you were going to ask me.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't believe you knew that.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a thinking, feeling person. I have a home, I have a. I have cars, I play. My utilities. What are you talking about?

[Tom Griswold]

It was such a random, dumb question. I didn't think.

[Chick McGee]

I pay my utilities. What are you talking. I got running water. What's your problem?

[Pat Godwin]

Did I miss the question? What was the question?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what the question.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, so off the air, he saunters over here and he goes, I have a question for you.

[Tom Griswold]

That's not what I said.

[Chick McGee]

I'm going to ask you on the air.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I have a stupid question.

[Chick McGee]

Lord.

[Pat Godwin]

All right. So, Tom, you're a stupid question.

[Chick McGee]

Can I guess what the question is?

[Tom Griswold]

He did.

[Chick McGee]

And he goes, oh, okay. I said, does Philip Rivers signing with the Colts affect his hall of Fame date?

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, his eligibility date.

[Chick McGee]

And right now it's. It's 2026. But if he signed. He signed with the Colts on the practice squad. If he's elevated to the roster, it'll reset to 2031. Oh, so there you go.

[Pat Godwin]

So it really affects it.

[Chick McGee]

It does. So the answer would be yes, it does. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Kind of an odd five years.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things now, does it?

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. I was interested to find out other than I'm unretired. But I'm sure there are papers he had to file that said he was unre. He retired as a charger. Well, I'll show you video of him saying that his San Diego years were.

[Tom Griswold]

The best years, but his last game was as a colt.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

20?

[Chick McGee]

I think 21, actually.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

After the 20 season, January of 21, it's interesting.

You know, one of these days that's gonna help. No, no. One of these days.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks.

[Pat Godwin]

I just felt it.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks for waking up the bear.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no.

No, no, no. I'm. I'm being a good co worker. Never, never doubt that. What was that? And I forgot what you were gonna say.

[Pat Godwin]

I think you were gonna met. One of these days, he's gonna have all the money.

[Christy Lee]

It.

[Chick McGee]

That's exactly what I was going to say. And Pat's going to be in charge.

[Pat Godwin]

He'll make the decision.

[Chick McGee]

He'll make the, the GD decision, by God.

[Tom Griswold]

And we'll have a musical tribute to the return to the NFL of Philip Rivers.

[Chick McGee]

Are we going to, are we going to have a musical tribute from the past about Philip Rivers?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, we got a new one.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there's. Oh, Pat has a song today. Okay, that's a little payback.

That's a little. To you. It's a little.

[Tom Griswold]

I could take it. I want to be in the room where it happens. Right, okay. Also coming up in the news, we have octopus news and octopus or octopussy. Octopus. The. The one.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, like that sweet, sweet octopus.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a, it's a. Interesting technical thing going on in the world of the octopus.

[Pat Godwin]

That octopusy grab. You never let go.

[Tom Griswold]

And then I did hear some scientists say insanity, because I'm crazy about that octopus. You don't know.

[Chick McGee]

We're having fun.

[Tom Griswold]

No, you're not.

I heard a scientist in some interviews say, no, it's not octopi, it's octopuses.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, no kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

So this really creates a problem.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe it is octopuses, but coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a very unusual octopus. In the news of extraordinarily rare ultra deep sea octopus.

[Pat Godwin]

The rare albino octopus, the rare Topeka octopus. Just walks around on land.

[Chick McGee]

A huge skeletal system. What happens if octopus actually mutate over the year and have bones? They start to have bones and they come out on land.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it'd be bad if they had bones. Bad for them.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, probably, yeah. Because they. Their video online of octopus could get in like a dime sized hole.

[Pat Godwin]

Insanity.

[Chick McGee]

And it's like it's 100ft wide or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, this thing is gonna, this thing is gonna freak you out when you find out about this guy. And it's. It is a guy octopus, if that gives you any kind of a hint.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh.

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Is it octopric or October octox?

[Tom Griswold]

Octopric was. Octacock was rejected by the James Bond people. That's how, that's how offensive.

[Christy Lee]

Male octopuses have an extra leg.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's kind of what this story is about. We'll get to it later.

[Chick McGee]

At least I didn't say blowy.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, thank you very much. Now also, we have a problem with.

[Chick McGee]

We got problems.

[Tom Griswold]

A lack of gigantic Santa Clauses for your yard.

[Chick McGee]

It's Santa Clau.

[Christy Lee]

That is a phenomenon in Southern California. Everybody has those. Giant Santa Claus.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they're not available this year.

[Christy Lee]

I saw that story.

[Tom Griswold]

They're very hard People are traveling across states to try to find.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's become a culture thing. It's like everybody wants a giant Santa.

[Tom Griswold]

But the company that makes them because of tariffs is not importing them this year. So that's the problem. So there you go. You can take that for what you want, but that's the truth. And we'll find out how that is affecting the lives of people. I have a solution, by the way.

[Christy Lee]

You do?

[Tom Griswold]

I do. If you want a good giant Santa Claus, I've got the solution.

[Pat Godwin]

Get over it.

[Christy Lee]

And have you seen the giant reindeer over here? Close to this, close to the radio station?

[Tom Griswold]

Those are also not available.

[Christy Lee]

But I mean, it's like, okay, I've seen giant Santas and I mean, this thing is like two stories high.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, no kidding. Huge.

[Chick McGee]

Can I guess that they're not available because you try to get some or.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no. This is a legit story. They. The ones that are out there from last year, the shipment this year, the company, whatever it's called, I've got the name of the company. They could not import them this year because of tariffs. They didn't want to bring them in. So people are looking for last year's model. They're going on ebay, et cetera, et cetera.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So if you see a giant Santa Claus, it's a rarity. But I've got a solution. If you're. If you're trying to figure this out, I can. I can help you. All right, so you'll.

[Chick McGee]

Attack of the 50 foot Mrs. Santa Claus.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to bear with me now. We are going to thank you for laughing.

[Chick McGee]

Simply say, if you stop somebody from breaking them before they got inside your house and touched your stuff, why wouldn't you? You know, most of those security systems, the old timey ones, they go off after somebody's already in the house. That's no good. I use Simplisafe at the compound and it was so easy to set up. And now we use Simplisafe here at the Bob and Tom studios. It's different, it's proactive. A double layer defense stops crimes before they start. AI powered cameras at Simplisafe stop potential threats outside. Then live agents step in talking to the person through the camera, letting them know they're on video and police will be dispatched if they don't leave. They can even trigger a loud siren, a spotlight. No long term contracts are Simplisafe neither. You can cancel anytime. And name best home security system by U.S. news World Report five years running, plus SimpliSafe, a 60 day money back guarantee. You can try it and see the difference for yourself.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Chick Magee. Once again, congratulations. Logan Neiman of Fonda, Iowa. Nyman. N E H M A n. You think it's Nyman?

[Christy Lee]

He's messing with you.

[Chick McGee]

I'm messing with you.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta.

[Chick McGee]

You should have said not.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta. I got a 50. It says it's Neiman. Could be naming.

[Chick McGee]

Is that the Neumann naming?

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out what it is tomorrow. Also coming up, we have some spectacular stuff from the world of skiing in the news. And it'll be Sexy time with Ali Breen coming up later. And looks up, look up at the board. It says a surprise Christmas guest. Oh, last time we did this, it was Joe Theisman number seven.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

So let's see who it is today. Yeah, well, we'll see. We are coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, folks, let me ask you a serious question. Did you know that driving high is considered driving under the influence? That's right. Driving under the influence of marijuana is against the law in every state. That means even in states where marijuana is legal, that means driving high could get you a dui. And if you think law enforcement officers can't tell when you're driving high. Well, my friend, you're wrong. If you're high, they can tell. Your friends can tell. Your co workers can tell. Even your parents can tell.

[Pat Godwin]

Everyone can tell.

[Tom Griswold]

So what makes you think that law enforcement officers don't know when you're driving high? You'd be wrong. They can tell, too. Driving under the influence of marijuana can slow your response time and change how you perceive time and speed. So even if you think you're fine.

[David Rush]

To drive when you're high, you're not.

[Tom Griswold]

Because the bottom line is, if you feel different, you drive different. And driving high is driving under the influence. So remember, drive high, get a dui. Paid for by nhtsa.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto park studios.

[Christy Lee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick, look at that corduroy shirt.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you hear that?

[Pat Godwin]

Can you take it away from him?

[Chick McGee]

Can you imagine if one of us had done that testing? Okay, good. He would honestly have gotten angry. Hi, Pat. How are you? I love your corduroy shirt.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought you didn't like corduroy.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, no, I don't like corduroy pillows. You know why?

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Chick McGee]

They make too many headlines. There's Josh Arnold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Hey. I hate Steven Singer, sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick mcgee at the Prize Pick sports desk. Hello, Tommy. I'm.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Using my megaphone because I have a special request.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

This is going to be complicated, so I'm gonna have to talk to Jason for a second.

[Pat Godwin]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

When we get to our letter segment.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. But I was testing my megaphone. It seems to be working. Yeah. Okay, you'll need in a minute, Christy. I'll get back over here.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

We have to hide it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we have to take it apart.

[Pat Godwin]

Think of all the toys he's taken away from us.

[Tom Griswold]

My.

[Pat Godwin]

Whatever buzzer. My little.

Yeah, your slide whistle. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I have it. Here he goes. No. Well.

[Tom Griswold]

That'S handy.

[Chick McGee]

See, it's not like a bullhorn. I'm sorry. I'm trying to be a good co worker, though. Yes, that bullhorn I really adds to the show.

[Tom Griswold]

I only got it out because I have a special request from Brian in Ohio.

[Chick McGee]

What did Brian want in Ohio?

[Tom Griswold]

What do you want me to sing? This is.

Sing It Up, Pat. You're gonna have to give me a minute. This is a little bit more elaborate than I thought. I gotta talk to Jason off the air.

[Christy Lee]

You could text him.

[Tom Griswold]

I can just turn my mic off and talk to him. Why don't we begin the letter segment and I'll talk to him briefly.

[Chick McGee]

Letters, emails from our listeners brought to you by nhtsa. Whether you get pulled over or get into a crash, drinking and driving will change your whole world. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by nhtsa. Yes, Josh, you have a letter.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, Tom, you made a new purchase yesterday. I believe you bought a three pack.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Of these inflatable weight distributors, we'll call them.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a. It's like a bladder.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The size of a Frisbee, kind of. And you. You pump it like a cuff for blood pressure, and it can lift up, say, a refrigerator, if you wanted to get it even. And then you'd put the shims under. Oh, this is incredibly cool.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it's cool too. Everybody else sort of scoffed, but Dale writes in. He says, I have those inflatable lift bags, and they are great. I use mine to roll my wife over when she snores.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he's a big gal. Lordy Lord.

[Christy Lee]

He gave his name.

[Pat Godwin]

Maybe he. Oh, it says, please don't say my name.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm sorry about that. Dale Foster. I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. Sorry to interrupt you at work.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

You overlooked something Christy said yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he said lots of stuff yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom asked you guys, come on. Don't you appreciate good wood? Okay. We were talking about.

[Christy Lee]

Who doesn't?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Shop teachers and everything like that.

[Tom Griswold]

And my shop teacher and that he had.

[Pat Godwin]

And we were talking about wood.

[Tom Griswold]

Wood. And I. I was mentioning that I like nice quality solid oak furniture. That at one point, some decorator came in. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That got weird.

We didn't know who. You were upset.

[Chick McGee]

You were, like, instantly as angry as I've ever seen you.

[Pat Godwin]

It triggered something.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of decorators know nothing about furniture. They know nothing about quality. And they just, oh, this looks great. And it was a beautiful oak table replaced with a piece of crap with a veneer paper thin. We need to start a list specific.

[Pat Godwin]

That happened to you. That is. Still bothers me. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If you say, hey, by the way, that's a beautiful solid oak table. I read in my magazine. Oh, you idiot. I'm sorry. I'm over it. But.

The point is, when I said, don't you appreciate good wood? And I was talking about my old shop teacher, a Bunch of now illegal woods in his like bola, bola, whatever it is. Ebony, does Christy appreciate good wood? Was the question from Ron, who is apparently a fan of all for that.

[Pat Godwin]

All for a section.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, I am. To appreciate good wood. God.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like to. I would like to apologize to Ron.

[Pat Godwin]

He needs to apologize to us.

[Christy Lee]

Ron, you're my favorite list.

[Chick McGee]

Good morning. Good morning. Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

Ron is a Green Bay Packer fan, Bob, by the way. Oh, so your husband Andy, they can bond.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

I know you guys aren't taking pictures of dogs anymore. Peran. Josh is a cat person, but this kind of relates dogs too. But it got old to the big golden retriever discussion. This is my baby, Roxy Rose. I. You'll be able to see a picture of Roxy. She is our three year old. English. Oh, hey, wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a golden doodle. And she's giving us a. That's a crotch shot.

[Chick McGee]

That's a beaver.

[Tom Griswold]

Roxy Rose Beaverdoodle.

[Christy Lee]

I don't want to see that.

[Chick McGee]

You don't look. You're not looking at that. Not even in college you didn't look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Don't zoom in on it. For God's sake. Are you sick?

[Chick McGee]

Geez. Can you go back and forth really fast?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Looks like a big sweetie. How big is that dog?

[Chick McGee]

She's three years old, English cream, golden doodle. 110 pounds.

[Tom Griswold]

That's big.

[Chick McGee]

And currently on a green bean diet.

[Pat Godwin]

From what I could tell a mother.

[Chick McGee]

Of eight, she's not fat, she's just girthy.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, years ago, with one of my golden retrievers, I put him on the green bean. Dad, the vet said he needs to lose some weight.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was very effective. He lost the weight and lived to be 16. Great dog. My. One of my favorite dogs ever.

[Chick McGee]

Which one?

[Tom Griswold]

Elvis. The great Elvis.

[Chick McGee]

I love that. Elvis is how we met, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

And we were talking on the radio about dog weight loss. And I'm obviously not a professionally or so talk to your vet, but it was recommended to me that I take his food and reduce the quantity of food and add green beans because they're relatively, I guess, light in calories. I don't know how this works.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I did. But then I had a problem with excessive dog flatulence. And as you know, in the. In the world of flatulence is if you rate it, human beings are like a 70. Dogs are like a 99.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

That those. Those dog farts can be just. They make your eyes bleed.

[Christy Lee]

Waking you up from a Dead sleep.

[Tom Griswold]

And the vet recommended an anti flatulent pill. And I was. We were talking about on this show and I mentioned they were incredibly expensive and someone said, hey, look, Another. Another vet emailed us. It was just get Beano. It's the same thing as opposed to the dog version of it. Again, I don't know if this is true, but I.

[Chick McGee]

So I don't think cat owners have this problem, do they? Cats having gas.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, it's happened once and gravy is three going on four.

[Chick McGee]

What did she say before she. You noticed gas? Was she upset about something?

[Tom Griswold]

Excuse me.

[Chick McGee]

Excuse me.

[Tom Griswold]

I think a cat. She probably just curled up right next to your face and let it rip.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, cats.

[Tom Griswold]

Cats are. They don't care.

[Pat Godwin]

No, I know. She was just kind of in bed with me and.

Boy, all of a sudden I went, oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

So to get back to my story, so I went and I was at CVS and I purchased a large quantity of, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, of course. And works on humans, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Well, I. It was kind of embarrassing because I was. There was a. I was checking out with this lovely young lady and she. Here I am buying.

[Christy Lee]

Who cares?

[Chick McGee]

Are you trying to apply that the only reason you didn't take this lovely young lady anywhere to have drinks and maybe some dancing, she noticed you had Beano and it cut into your.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought you were off the market.

[Chick McGee]

Cut into your game.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because she. But I just thought it was kind of a. Embarrassing that I would have such excessive flatulence. I would need to buy a dozen bottles of Beano. That's my point. And then she said, aren't you that guy from the radio show? And I said, yes, I'm Bob. And then I played Paid, Paid and I left. Now we. Are we ready for my request for Christie? Okay, Christy, you're gonna need. You're gonna need the megaphone.

[Christy Lee]

I'm gonna need the megaphone.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. This is very specific.

Testing. Yeah, there we go. You're pulling that trigger and that. It should be working fine.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, now, you think you, by the way, seen my good friend Josh Arnold mad before this. This bullhorn thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Look, you know something?

[Chick McGee]

Might I. I might send him around the bed.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he's gonna like this.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

This involves something in his sphere. Can you give me a test, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Testing, one, two.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, get. Can you hold it up to the mic?

[Christy Lee]

Do I need to?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Testing, one, two.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great.

[Chick McGee]

Pretty good.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, you came up into radio, in all truth, through Arby's, because you. You work The Arby's drive through. What did you say?

[Christy Lee]

Welcome to Arby's. May I take your order, please?

[Chick McGee]

Jesus.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

She's so good.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy does have one of the great voices in American radio. Let's face it. Now, Christy, I will instruct you as to what you're supposed to do from this letter from Brian.

[Chick McGee]

This is already the longest period of my life.

[Tom Griswold]

It says, dear Bob and Tom, show Tom your new megaphone. Sounds great. I need Christy to do her version of the Puddle of Mud break in this. In this particular song. Thank you, Brian from Ohio. So are you familiar with the song, Christy?

[Chick McGee]

I don't think she is.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay, wait. Okay, here we go.

Okay, you know that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Now you know where we are on the song, and you know what part you have to sing. The part where. Well, after the song, I want you to do it with the song. I'm just doing that Brian has asked me to do because this is my job.

Here we go. Ready? Here it comes.

I love the way you smack my ass as you're cute.

[Pat Godwin]

He's not even using a megaphone.

[Tom Griswold]

He's not using a megaphone because this guy apparently.

Yeah, that's it.

[Pat Godwin]

Are you thinking we don't have to do what listeners write it until.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, we do.

[Pat Godwin]

No, we don't. Well, are you thinking a collective soul? No, he's thinking of probably. You sure? Like the bone. That's probably what this person says.

[Tom Griswold]

That's at least a megaphone. He specifically says.

He wants to hear Christy say, I love the way you smack my ass through a megaphone.

[Christy Lee]

I love the way you smack my ass there.

[Tom Griswold]

Brian, are you okay now?

[Pat Godwin]

Good God.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that great?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, wonderful.

[Chick McGee]

Well, dear Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

I enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much, Brian. Keep writing.

[Chick McGee]

This is. You were talking about companies with products shaped like. Like the Oscar Mayer wienermobile. This is from a septic service. It's called the Stool Bus. Best septic truck ever.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, no, Tom, that's pretty funny.

[Chick McGee]

I think you'll love this picture. It's. It is actually the Stool Bus with.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, it is. It's a little classier than I thought it was.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Happy turds looking out the wind.

One of them's wearing a ball cap.

[Pat Godwin]

So it's like they're students in a school bus.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's painted, whatever that orange bus color. And the back of it, the tank is, as you say, it has windows painted on with happy turds sticking out, like a bunch of students.

[Chick McGee]

They are happy.

[Pat Godwin]

They're Very pleased.

[Christy Lee]

It is pretty.

[Tom Griswold]

Nothing better than a happy turd.

[Chick McGee]

Look at that one. Look at that one. Real fat turd. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, he's dumpy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That had to hurt. Okay, well, thank you very much. Once again. We. I like vehicles that are in the shape of the product that they advertise. This is. This is a. This is close, but not quite. Josh and I were both expecting something that looked more like that. That potato vehicle that we saw.

[Pat Godwin]

I prefer this, though, I think. Yeah, this is funny.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the stool bus.

[Tom Griswold]

Get it right there. I love this. And it says in huge letters in the side, stool bus. Where is that company?

[Chick McGee]

Iowa. Somewhere in Iowa.

Why'd you have to stay in the car?

[Christy Lee]

That was the year I broke my leg.

[Pat Godwin]

Have they augmented it so that the stairs, it's like a ramp almost going up to the top. Or is it.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you get up? I.

[Pat Godwin]

Are they the original stairs?

[Tom Griswold]

That's the thing. I don't remember. As I recall, when I did it. I'll try to make this very less boring than it is. My luggage had all been lost on the way over there, so I had to buy a pair of shoes when I got there, and the shoes were really slippery and new. And as I was going up, I kept thinking I was going to fall off. Especially when you get to the side that's leaning. In any event, whatever they've done, they apparently have reinforced it somehow. But. But the Leaning Tower Pisa is open for business, as we found out yesterday, and I thought it was one of the cooler. I mean, there's obviously a lot of touristy stuff in. In Italy, but I thought that was really quite well done and nice. And you can get, of course you can get, you know, salt shakers, the usual crap. But, you know, Florence is great.

[Christy Lee]

Florence is on the list. I.

[Tom Griswold]

Not. The food is great everywhere. But we got a letter. This is why I'm bringing it up. Okay. Listening to your podcast, I heard you guys talk about the leading Tower of Pisa and how it's open for tourists again. Tom said he went up and it was terrifying. I'm not good with heights. Maybe it's just me. I went to the top in 1982. Writes Ivan, and it's. He. I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

Is this.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this a she, E, V, O.

[Christy Lee]

N. I've never seen that name before.

[Chick McGee]

Never seen it.

[Tom Griswold]

And then there's a pronouncer next to a double E, all caps, V, O, N. Well, Yvonne, I don't know. I'm sorry. I was squished in with a batch of stinky German tourists going up the circular staircase.

[Chick McGee]

I think we can agree they are the worst sauerkraut.

[Tom Griswold]

That was the terrifying part. Once I got up to the top, the fresh air improved things. We had a great lunch. We had a great lunch at a small seaside town. I ordered a piece of pan fried fish that was simply delicious.

[Chick McGee]

Did. Did everyone else. Did everyone else. I'd like to add a side note to this. You will never hear a letter like that come out of my mouth.

I don't know what the hell.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you. I appreciate this letter.

[Chick McGee]

It's. But there is nothing better than a great piece of fish. I'll give them that.

[Tom Griswold]

A shore lunch? Are you kidding?

[Pat Godwin]

In Italy, panfish can be very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Is it a shore lunch just based on the fact that it's seafood that makes it a shore lunch?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm. I'm. I was just saying that because you know how much I love a shore lunch. When you're fishing about.

[Pat Godwin]

How many stories is the Tower of Pisa, would you say?

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good question.

[Pat Godwin]

Maybe two.

[Tom Griswold]

It's tall enough that I was terrified when I got to the top.

[Christy Lee]

As high as you think it is.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

I've always assumed maybe three at most.

[Chick McGee]

I'm going to say eight stories and that's like 60ft high. That's.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I'm going to disappoint everyone because we're not going to the tower. Please. Idle.

[Pat Godwin]

You didn't negate.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm so sorry.

[Pat Godwin]

You're going to miss the pan fried fish.

[Chick McGee]

You broke Yvonne's heart. He had a great piece of fish.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

It's not according to my going to Florence. We are going to Florence. Cortona, Assisi, Rome, Vatican.

Venice. Yeah, it'll be fun.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Venice.

[Tom Griswold]

You go to the Vatican.

[Christy Lee]

We are going to the Vatican museum. Sistine Chapel. St. Peter's Basilica. Yeah, Heavy Rome.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if the. This is. I'm sorry, I'm asking. Does the Pope do autographs?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm serious. He does it.

[Chick McGee]

Those cons, conventions.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, seriously.

[Pat Godwin]

I would say no.

[Christy Lee]

I would say no. I think he just shot your hand.

[Chick McGee]

That's a little too.

It was him, the kid from Gremlins and.

[Tom Griswold]

What the. What was that? Pope Con?

[Chick McGee]

No, it was Catholic Con Catcon.

[Christy Lee]

If you have any. If someone's listening. Has any way that we can meet the Pope. Oh, my gosh. That would be awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I think that's a tall order, Christie. Frankly. I mean, we have friends, but I mean, not in high places. But not that high.

[Pat Godwin]

There are a lot of. A lot of autograph Pope autographs out there.

[Christy Lee]

Well, probably stolen from checks or so. Well, you don't write checks.

[Tom Griswold]

Does.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, you know, like signed 8 by 10 and stuff. Now check your verification.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm sure that any Pope Leo signed photo would come with a certificate of authenticity. What was the.

Certificate? Certificate of certification.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There was a junior announcement.

[Tom Griswold]

There was an HBO thing about the store. The stores that sell all of the autograph stuff and the amount of it that was fake was staggering.

[Pat Godwin]

A lot ago.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sorry.

[Pat Godwin]

I think we did the story. He signed a baseball and it went up for auction. That's because now that I see the picture, I remember we talked about.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he sign it with his actual neighbor design. Pope Leo.

[Pat Godwin]

He popped Leo and then number. PPC.

And yeah. And the number.

[Tom Griswold]

The Roman numerals and he's LEO the what?

[Pat Godwin]

14Th.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of those stores now, if you go in them, have a picture of the person signing the actual item that you're buying.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Pat Godwin]

Gotta be careful. And now that's even gonna be a problem, isn't it?

[Christy Lee]

Right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can have. You can have Babe ruth.

Signing a 2025 calendar next to. Next to Farrah Fawcett.

And you can. You can do that in three seconds with AI. Nothing is real anymore. If you want to get a hold of us, it's pretty simple. Bob and [e-mail] we'd love to hear from you. I enjoyed your letter, Ivan. I think it's fun. Keep it yourself, even give it. I wanted to give Christie a chance to plug her tour, but you. There's no way to access that yet. Christy, is that.

[Christy Lee]

I'll get. I promise it'll be by the end of the week.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, cool. That'll be fun.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it will be fun.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're going to want to. You know, you should take on that tour. Is Joey Chestnut. Can you imagine walking into a restaurant in Italy having Joey do 40 lasagnas? Oh, he's the fat American guy. But he's so skinny. I don't understand.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to congratulate.

[Chick McGee]

Wow, that was a real bad Italian accent.

[Tom Griswold]

That wasn't Italian. That was Czech Visitor to it.

[Chick McGee]

Fair enough. You got me.

[Tom Griswold]

Congratulations to Logan Neiman from Fonda, Iowa, the winner of week 14 in the Pigskin Picks competition. He wins that great $500 E gift card to Stephen Singer Jewelers. Peruse the.

[Tom Griswold]

Now everyone was angry at the two letters I've read so far.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think the word angry covers it.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I respect our listeners and I.

[Pat Godwin]

Thought we all do.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought they were. I thought they were both interesting.

[Chick McGee]

I had a wonderful fish dinner.

[Tom Griswold]

Perhaps you'll like a wonderful dinner in Italy. Flaky, if you're going to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa. And Christie's taking to hear about it. Christie's taking a bunch of people to Italy next year. I'm sorry, Christy. I thought.

[Christy Lee]

It's okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, this one. Dear Bob and Tom show writes. Hang on a second.

Clint.

Thank you, Josh. I have chapped lips. I don't want to.

[Pat Godwin]

We want it when we Want you to hit that end. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Too much. Too much kissing. Why can't you just say Clint? Just come out and say Clint without having to pause and wipe your mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

The morphology of my palate. Such that.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly what I thought it might be.

[Tom Griswold]

Such that. I can't get the. Sometimes. Get the. All of the vowels out. It's a. It's a. It's a. It's a problem.

Clint writes, I was enjoying one of the best sloppy joes of my life last night.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, I am in on this. I. I'd like. That's an engaging opening line. I'd like to hear about that.

[Chick McGee]

I will tell you that if you. If Yvonne had mentioned a good sloppy joe dinner, I would have been more attentive than the fish dinner. And that's actually true. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Clint, I don't see the recipe here. Please, please resend. I had some of the best chili of my life last night.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyway, let's move forward here.

[Christy Lee]

Did you make it?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

It was from my friends downtown. I was catching up on your podcast, and one hour into the show, Josh was reading the announcement about Omaha Steaks. And Josh requested a sizzle sound from Pat Godwin with a full mouth. I was gasping for air. Losing. Losing my sloppy joe. Can we recreate that moment?

[Pat Godwin]

I don't think so. I think I had a coffee in my mouth or something.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, we can recreate it. Coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

Are you going to accompany yourself on guitar, keyboards? The sizzle for a sizzle. Okay. I think we need it yesterday. By the way, I was yesterday working on my Omaha Steaks mailing list. Once again, if you're going to send your friends Omaha Steaks, make sure that they live in the same place. For example, I was just about to send Al Jackson a bunch of stakes.

[Pat Godwin]

To his old apartment.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That would have been bad. Now, thank you for the letter. That's Clint from Freeland, Michigan. This one's from Lebanon, Ohio.

[Pat Godwin]

Real quick, Sloppy Joe Manwich. Pretty much nailed it. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

My mom always made them from scratch. I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

Like her own sauce.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Ever get a spoon? Open the man. Which just eat right out of the can. I have it. Yeah, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

No beef, Nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. The key to me to a sloppy joe is the buns have to be just the right temperature and just the right softness.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, softness.

[Christy Lee]

They have to be soft.

[Tom Griswold]

I can remember one time my mom green peppers, frozen buns and thawed them, and that never Works.

[Pat Godwin]

No. So no green pepper. So your man, which is out for you.

[Christy Lee]

Man. Which is out for me. No green.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh. But a good sloppy.

[Chick McGee]

They must have.

[Tom Griswold]

They're delicious.

[Chick McGee]

No green pepper flavor for Manwich.

[Pat Godwin]

You know what they probably do?

[Chick McGee]

They think of everything at man, which. Okay. Those guys.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. Heroes all.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. I believe they're going to be inducted into the Beef hall of Fame.

[Chick McGee]

Zuckerberg, Bezos.

And.

[Pat Godwin]

And Barry Manwich.

[Christy Lee]

Earl.

[Chick McGee]

Man.

Earl of Manwich.

[Tom Griswold]

There should be. If you're. If your last name was man, which you'd have to name your kid Earl.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I hope so.

[Christy Lee]

Earl.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there any people named Sandwich?

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Pat Godwin]

There were, weren't there?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's where the name came from.

[Tom Griswold]

Sandwich was a place. Wasn't he the Earl of Sandwich.

[Chick McGee]

Earl of Sandwich. But Sandwich was. I thought that was his name.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought it was the place they lived.

[Chick McGee]

Jimmy Sandwich.

[Tom Griswold]

Lucky was that's it could have been. That could have gone really south.

[Pat Godwin]

Their boy Reuben had a tough time.

[Chick McGee]

Aunt Stromboli.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And they. Oh. And they shunned the one guy. Because a hamburger is not a sandwich.

[Christy Lee]

See, now I was sloppy.

[Pat Godwin]

Actually. Reuben was invented. The Reuben sandwich was. A guy named Reuben invented it. That's a true story.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like sauerkraut. I don't like Thousand island dressing. I don't like. Like what. What else is on the Ruben Rye, Corned beef, Swiss cheese, whatever.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like any of the ingredients, but I love the sandwich. Wow.

[Pat Godwin]

It all comes together.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that interesting?

[Tom Griswold]

In. At my advanced age, I just discovered the beauty of rye toast.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[Chick McGee]

You've discovered a lot of stuff recently.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The rolling. Carry on for travel.

[Tom Griswold]

That's amazing.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's nice that you become.

[Pat Godwin]

My go to toast.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Has it really?

[Pat Godwin]

And I dip it in grits. What, Ryan?

[Tom Griswold]

Grits.

[Chick McGee]

Smack my ass and call me corn pone.

[Pat Godwin]

Really, really, really wonderful. I mean, it's essentially just dipping it in butter.

[Tom Griswold]

So I'm sorry we never got to William's letter. It's a short one. He goes. I recently heard a friend of mine refer to mayonnaise as sandwich lotion.

[Christy Lee]

Another reason I hate it.

[Pat Godwin]

That's very good.

[Tom Griswold]

I do love that. William, thank you for taking the time and trouble to write us from Lebanon, Ohio.

[Chick McGee]

And I believe there's a hotel in Lebanon called the Golden Lamb. Oh. The site of one of the massive altercations between my Grant, my mom's mom and dad and my parents. We tried to go to at the time, Coney island in Cincinnati. And there was.

[Tom Griswold]

What's your policy on being an event? And two people that are married to each other get into a huge fight.

[Christy Lee]

Boy, that's awkward, isn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Put there. You're crying. And tell them to stop. Stop fighting. How about that? Put that in there. You're ruining the trip to Kings Island. Or Coney Island. Remember Coney Island? It was Coney Island. Catch it while you can.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, this is a parenthetical to any discussion we've never been having. If you're at Kings island, they have the Eiffel Tower there. And the rule is, if you're with your kids, remember, if you get lost.

Meet us on this side of the Eiffel Tower. Right when you're in Paris, France. Chris, did you do the same thing?

[Pat Godwin]

It's not a bad idea.

[Christy Lee]

It's not a bad idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, look, if you get lost.

[Christy Lee]

Beautiful. Park in front of the Eiffel Tower. That goes one way, but yeah, I mean, that would work. I never got lost.

[Chick McGee]

Of course, Paris is a little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

Larger than Kings Island.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Ace, have you been to Paris? In Vegas. Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Phone call in Vegas.

[Pat Godwin]

We have a phone call. Robin Tom show.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, hey, it's Brian from Ohio.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry, sorry. Just Josh doesn't like to have fun. I thought he'd like some puddle mud.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, you're the guy. I mean, that was. I mean, look, I like to have fun and everything, but it was just.

[Chick McGee]

What happened, Josh? Did you drop your pizza?

[Pat Godwin]

Ryan, I think because you can't watch.

[Chick McGee]

Porn during the show.

[Pat Godwin]

Ryan, those are all caricature.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Depictions of.

Fishing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'll just say this one last thing, Josh, you know I do like you, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. He requested the megaphone. Thank you very much. Congratulations again to Logan Neiman. He was our pigskin picks winner for week 14 of the NFL. Week 15 begins Thursday evening.

[Tom Griswold]

I do not know who it is. Our last surprise Christmas guest was the great Joe Theisman.

[Christy Lee]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, coming up in sports, we have. We have interesting news from Philip Rivers.

[Chick McGee]

Yep. He's on the practice squad, officially signed by the Indianapolis Colts yesterday. And we'll talk about it.

[Tom Griswold]

And you pointed out something interesting. And if. If he's a ski story, if he's not activated, if he's not elevated to.

[Chick McGee]

The actual roster, he is. Hall of Fame date stays the same as 2000. As next year, he'll be elevated. But if he signed to the active roster, it resets to 2031. He would be.

[Tom Griswold]

And the Colts are getting how many points in Seattle? 14.

[Chick McGee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, I heard that line's gonna go up.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, dear. Now, also coming up, Christian, you got something interesting over there on the way.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We have these giant Santas that are missing. They're not around. We have soda scented wrapping paper. What are the Christmas songs Americans hate the most? And we love to look at predictions for 2026. Well, Whole Foods has weighed in on their food trend predictions, if you will.

[Pat Godwin]

I see.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. We'll look forward to that, certainly. And Pat, you've got a song for us coming up. Ready to go?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee at the prize Picks sports desk. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Christy Lee]

We have another song. I want to hear a song.

[Pat Godwin]

Wanna hear a song?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I do.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, here it is.

[Christy Lee]

Now, what do you want to play?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I have something on our. The Indianapolis Colts's possible quarterback.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, let's get the story out then.

[Chick McGee]

Before cold sign 44 year old Philip Rivers to the practice squad. According to reports from the Associated Press. Oh, no. It's.

Dance. It's news, right?

[Pat Godwin]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

You see the difference?

[Tom Griswold]

Difference? So that was. What was the. Is that a Morse code?

[Chick McGee]

That's the bulletin coming in. You've heard the bulletin.

[Pat Godwin]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

He last played in a playoff loss following the 2020 season. He announced his retirement January of 21. This move comes less than 24 hours after head coach the Colts Shane Steichen confirmed Indy starting quarterback Daniel Jones missed the rest of the season with that torn right Achilles tendon. And Riley Leonard has injured his right knee. Left knee. We know it was his. It was his right knee. So here we go. It's maybe. Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

I was reading about Philip will start this weekend.

[Chick McGee]

Who knows?

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of interesting is Philip Rivers is really good friends with Shane Steichen.

[Chick McGee]

They worked. Yeah. He was offensive coordinator or a quarterback coach in San Diego.

[Tom Griswold]

And this is the funny thing. I was reading that, as you know, Philip Rivers was coaching a high school football team. I believe it was his son's team.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

He and Steichen would talk every week because his high school team was running the same offense, essentially. So the point being, he knows the offense. Philip really knows the offense.

[Christy Lee]

And yeah, maybe. Can you still throw football, though? I mean.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's what yesterday was about. Yeah. When they worked him out.

[Tom Griswold]

But technically he's in the practice squad. On the other footnote that you mentioned.

[Chick McGee]

Chick, is it does not move his hall of Fame date to be considered for the hall because it's 26 right now and he's still on the practice squad. If he's elevated to the active roster, it would reset to 2031 if he. If he retires, you understand.

[Tom Griswold]

And part of the deal was if Philip Rivers is activated, he gets another baby.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, how about that would be 11?

[Tom Griswold]

He's a great dad. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

He also already has 10 kids.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a great guy. I think it's cool. We'll see what happens. The other option.

[Christy Lee]

Have you met him?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm just.

[Christy Lee]

I saw him in a restaurant once with some of his kids.

[Tom Griswold]

My policy, I leave. I leave people alone if I see them. Well, of course I've seen him. I just don't want to go by the other possibility.

[Chick McGee]

Why can't you employ that with us? You see that? You just don't want to.

[Tom Griswold]

You see, if I see you in the real world, I ignore you.

[Christy Lee]

He totally ignores you.

[Tom Griswold]

The only time. Don't be excited.

[Christy Lee]

We were at something the other night and I went to shake his hand and he pulled his hand back like I had Gooch 90s.

[Pat Godwin]

Is that right?

He pulled his hand back.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't even remember being there. That's how boring.

I. The exception was when I caught Josh at a grocery store, snuck up behind him And Josh had a, took a photo of his.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh and it was a terrible moment.

[Tom Griswold]

I couldn't stand that I was laughing so hard. Josh had a, had a grocery cart.

[Pat Godwin]

Full of chocodiles that I had about four case well boxes because you can't get them in the St. Louis area. And I wanted to send them to.

[Tom Griswold]

But I didn't know that. So I just have somebody sent his regular shopping run and he's got nothing. He has nothing but toilet paper and chocolate aisles in a cart.

[Pat Godwin]

Actually I did end up keeping one and one box and three went to St. Louis because chocolate aisles, Chocolate covered Twinkies, you kidding me?

[Christy Lee]

Okay, well I didn't even know what a chocolate isle was.

[Tom Griswold]

But the other thing that the cults may be doing is I understand that Anthony Richardson may come out with an eye patch and play as a pirate.

Issue with his eyes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, the exercise bands can be dangerous.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. No, but so we have a 44 year old who potentially could be on the field playing in the NFL.

[Chick McGee]

And Pat, you have a song about.

[Tom Griswold]

I do, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Old Man Rivers.

I love Rivers. He's got 10 children. Even his children have children that Old man Rivers, he just keeps throwing that ball.

He's 44 now, long since forgotten. But with Dan Daniel Jones out the court's got nothing. Cold Man Rivers, he's napping but expecting your call. Guys like Aaron Rodgers are racked with pain. Heels busted, ankles sprained. Blander tried Brady failed. Mark Sanchez got arrested and wound up in jail.

I'm sick of hurting or being fired. I'd take that pension and stay retired. But Old man Rivers, he just keeps throwing that bone.

Very nice.

[Christy Lee]

So when he beats the first grandpa ever to win an NFL game.

[Pat Godwin]

That's a good question.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great question. And I don't know the answer.

[Christy Lee]

I, I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll bet there are grandfathers who have played in a Super bowl, not necessarily at quarterback.

[Chick McGee]

Well, yeah, I mean there are some.

[Tom Griswold]

Young grandfathers and a lot of these, I mean a lot of these guys have had kids when they were 17 and.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Driving that free Mercedes from someone on the, you know, one of, one of the booster club guys, you know.

[Chick McGee]

George Blanda played until he was 48 in August of 1976. Man, just shy of his 49th birthday. A 26 season career as quarterback and kicker. Blender. George Blender.

[Pat Godwin]

Old Blender.

[Tom Griswold]

What else are they going to do? It's kind of an interesting move.

[Pat Godwin]

I, I Blend Express they called it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Andrew, Andrew Luck had his phone turned Off.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And there was a report that they called Andrew Lucky. I'm not making a joke. They contacted Andrew Luck and they contacted Ryan Tannehill and they both said no thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and what's the story with Joe Flacco?

[Chick McGee]

Is he did he asked for his release in Cincinnati. I don't know if that has anything has happened with that or not yet.

[Pat Godwin]

Release me.

[Chick McGee]

Please release me. Let me go.

I don't want to play for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Before we get to sports. It's my understanding you had more letters.

[Chick McGee]

I did. Dear Bob, a Tom Show. To add to yesterday's talk about Hungry Hungry Hippos. Yes, they actually the hippos have two sets of names. What the hippos are named Lizzie Hippo is the purple hippo.

There's an orange hippo named Henry, the Green hippos. Homer Harry is the yellow hippo. And there's a UK version of Hungry Hungry Hippos with a pink hippo.

[Pat Godwin]

That's Happy Happy hippo.

[Chick McGee]

And in 2009 they had a re release of the Hungry Hungry Hippos. And those names are Sweetie Potamus is Blue.

Bottomless Potamus is Yellow, Veggie Potamus is Green and Picky Potamus is Orange. Oh, that's from Brian in Delaware. You know, we go through these streaks. It was. Of course it's always Michigan because Michigan, I was a kid, blah, blah. Everything was won. And then we Idaho and now there were Dakota Week and now we have Delaware like all week long we had.

[Christy Lee]

I love Delaware.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a lot of really cool information, right. About Hungry and Hungry Hungry Hippo. We were talking about it because a good friend of the show, David Rush and his son. I love this. They set the world record in Hungry Hungry Hip hop. Sure did. His first record with his son, I believe. Was it Peter son? I think.

[Pat Godwin]

I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Well, don't ask him anyway.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't ask David.

[Chick McGee]

He doesn't know.

[Tom Griswold]

That's cool. It's a nice happy Christmasy story.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob, a top show. I realized the other day I have something in common with each of you. And I also have something un. In not in common with each of you.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Tom. This is from Kathy. In common with you, Tom, I have. I love Mr. Ed so much. I own the complete series on DVD.

[Pat Godwin]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Not in common. Every morning I make coffee at home. Because coffee is in here.

[Tom Griswold]

No, again, I. I love coffee, but coffee is out there.

[Chick McGee]

That's what you insist on.

[Tom Griswold]

I like to get up, get in my car or get my bike.

[Chick McGee]

We've been, we've been together long enough. Chrissy can back us up. That if there was anyone when Starbucks started that I would have said would never set a foot in Starbucks, it would have been Tom Griswold. But now, wherever any coffee shop in the world, he sees it, he's got to go in.

[Christy Lee]

Well, remember back in the day, you didn't even drink coffee. You drank caffeine free Diet Coke for a long time.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, and that's. And then I had to have my third arm removed moved. I don't know what's in that stuff.

[Chick McGee]

What are you talking about? Anyway, Tom and common. I love Mr. Ed. Non common. I have coffee at home. Josh. Hi, Kathy. She has in common. My favorite beer is also bush light.

[Pat Godwin]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

Not in common. I've never had a dump in a lake.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, now I'm glad to hear it.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the proper term for that?

[Pat Godwin]

Aqua dump.

[Tom Griswold]

Aqua dump.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think many people have.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I probably am in the minority.

[Christy Lee]

I think that is kind of a rare.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, but what a great experience.

[Christy Lee]

You would love that, wouldn't you?

[Chick McGee]

You would just stand there and laugh.

[Pat Godwin]

I would have laughed at me doing it and my three brothers casting their lures at me.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, great.

[Chick McGee]

And they certainly could have hooked.

[Pat Godwin]

You could have hooked me in the face.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Taking an eye out sometimes I, I, I feel like I missed out because I didn't have siblings. But then I hear those stories. Christy. Yes, she continues in common with Christy. I also grew up in a mobile home with wood paneling.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, nice.

[Chick McGee]

Not in common. I've never been headbutted by a horse at a polo match. Yeah. And chick in common. I also was born and raised in Ohio, now live in another state, which is Nebraska. Okay. Not in common. I think think Sean Moore is funny. So there. All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I love Sean. Maybe we should play his song.

[Chick McGee]

I wish you would. I gotta go change the oil.

Dear Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

There's more. Okay, go ahead.

[Chick McGee]

There's a beach on the Mississippi river north of Quad Cities. In the summertime, we bring flat bottom boats, fishing boats, houseboats, and anchor them at the beach for a nice relaxing day and an evening filled with friendship. Beer and bullhorns.

[Pat Godwin]

Those flat bottom boats make the world go around. Yeah, they do.

[Chick McGee]

Or are you gonna drink with me tonight? There you go, Pat, wrap that up. One particular visitor to the beach would bring his bullhorn and make announcements. We thwarted that activity by replacing the batteries early and often with old batteries. Every time he started to push the bullhorn. I quickly realized he would go through batteries at an alarming rate.

I suspect somebody in your office, Tom, has been replacing your bullhorn batteries with old worn out batteries. That's Ron in Iowa.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Fortunately they were replaced. So this morning I had a fresh bullhorn battery. All right. I haven't used the bullhorn in years.

[Pat Godwin]

It has been a while.

[Christy Lee]

So is that your old one or did you get a new one?

[Tom Griswold]

Remember I got the new one, the little one, the mini one, and it didn't work right.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know if you replaced that one with that one. But that's your old one.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the old one. It's. But it's huge. Yeah, but I just. I love that sound.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have one at home?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

Not yet.

[Christy Lee]

I said it's time for dinner.

[Pat Godwin]

Isn't there a comedian named Mr. Bullhorn?

[Christy Lee]

There used to be.

[Tom Griswold]

The great, the late great Glenn. Super. Ah, yeah. He.

[Christy Lee]

Ah, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I loved Glenn. He. He had a.

[Chick McGee]

Some ranch dressing would be nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I think was his. He did a commercial. Was it for Miller Light or.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, he had a big commercial. I Forget what. As Mr. Bullhorn.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I really like Glenn. Sadly, he.

[Chick McGee]

He as Crusty would say that was funny for about 30 seconds.

[Tom Griswold]

He had a bunch of other stuff.

[Pat Godwin]

He was.

[Tom Griswold]

He was a guitar comic and did a bunch of great stuff.

[Chick McGee]

Oh boy. And Christy. Yes. A grandfather has played quarterback in the NFL. Brett Favre.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

According to this report, we can have different stories all. All week probably. Brett Favre became the first known active player to be a grandfather in 2010. And now recent news highlights. 44 year old Philip Rivers, also a grandfather, returning.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

To the NFL. There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the technical time frame on if he gets activated? How does that work? And they do it like the day of show?

[Chick McGee]

I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

It's show day.

[Chick McGee]

I want to say Thursday. I don't know why that sticks in my head, but if you activate someone from the. The practice squad, I think it is Thursday, but the taxi squad is what you like.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if he gets a bonus if they activate him.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure he's got some sort of monetary.

[Tom Griswold]

Because I'd say. I would say when you practice squad to the real game, all of a sudden the boy that's going to hurt on Monday morning.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

The Christmas gifts get a little better.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

This time of year.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Can't imagine what's coming up in sports.

[Chick McGee]

What's coming up in sports? I thought right now. But anyway, we'll wait. Shohei Ohtani has been.

Named, gotten another award and world record concerning skis.

[Pat Godwin]

Skis, water or snow?

[Chick McGee]

And just.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. That's neither.

[Pat Godwin]

Or Polish people.

[Chick McGee]

Let's just.

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean neither?

[Tom Griswold]

It's not snow skiing and it's not water skiing.

[Christy Lee]

What do you ski on?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, and it's bizarre. And the guy's going faster than an automobile.

[Chick McGee]

Really hold our hands. We all do. Always do.

[Pat Godwin]

Every.

[Tom Griswold]

Fascinating. The ski season has begun. It's the best look of the meaning of fascinating. We are going to later on be visiting with the lovely comedian Ali Breen with Sexy Time.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to return momentarily to the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show, sponsored in part by Java House, the official coffee and refreshments of the Bob and Tom Show US Soccer Club. Reality says the odds are stacked against us. To think our U.S. men's National Team can ever raise the world's biggest trophy, be the first soccer team to beat them at football. Never.

[Pat Godwin]

But here's the thing about us.

[Chick McGee]

Refusing to accept reality is kind of our thing. Being unrealistic. That's not a flaw.

[Pat Godwin]

It's a force.

[Chick McGee]

It's fuel.

[Pat Godwin]

Because if you want to be great.

[Chick McGee]

And make history, never chase reality.

Join us soccer insiders today.

[Pat Godwin]

Be part of the journey.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh. Arnold Schickster at the I Hate Steven Singer, sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick mcgee at the Prize Picks sports desk. Coming up, a surprise Christmas guest in a little over an hour and sexy time with Ali Breen. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. Are we going to get to the sports page again?

[Chick McGee]

Yes, we are. Show.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

Show. Hey, Otani.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Otani.

[Tom Griswold]

Otani doesn't really work.

[Chick McGee]

It's really crashing and burning.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

All right. We won't do it anymore.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's never. We're done.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have any stories about Saquon Barkley?

[Chick McGee]

I was just gonna say not Saquon Barkley.

[Tom Griswold]

Quan Barkley.

[Christy Lee]

Juan Barkley. I still love that one.

[Chick McGee]

He's been named the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year.

[Christy Lee]

Not Saquon Barkley.

[Chick McGee]

Ohtani.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Tying. This happened for the fourth time for Shohei. Tying him with LeBron James, Tiger woods and Lance Armstrong.

[Tom Griswold]

He's in the. He's in the the OJ division.

[Chick McGee]

So you're just a liar. It's been given out since 1931, man. When.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone named nicknamed Whitey.

[Pat Godwin]

Whitey, Licorice, Whip, Snotgrass or whatever.

[Chick McGee]

White is. Right, McNichols?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, right, right.

[Chick McGee]

What a horrible history.

Ohtani said in his broken English his goals for 2026 to stay healthy so he can play in every game and to keep working on his English speaking skills. So I'm not bad at bridge anymore.

[Pat Godwin]

That will help his bridge game.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I'm sorry. So. So he can bridge the gap with his US fans.

[Pat Godwin]

I understand that's what.

[Chick McGee]

Something was lost in translation. And that brings us to yes, the Tom Griswold endorsed stupid world record. A man in France, he is from France has broken the Guinness World record for downhill sand skiing.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Now in my defense, I'd never heard of this.

[Pat Godwin]

I've seen it done on snowboards.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, yes. Didn't they do it in like the Mummy or something? Oh, maybe when they're chasing on a sand dune or probably.

[Christy Lee]

Sand skiing.

[Tom Griswold]

So do we have a picture of this guy? He's going down a giant sand dune. Where does it says somewhere where this thing is.

[Pat Godwin]

Where this is at?

[Chick McGee]

This is my. Hey Fraidy.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey Frady.

[Chick McGee]

They call him the Cat.

[Tom Griswold]

It was M A H E and then F R E Y D I E. That's.

[Christy Lee]

Are they snow ski.

[Pat Godwin]

It looks so fun.

[Chick McGee]

They call him. They call them the Cat.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're snow skis. And this is a video.

[Chick McGee]

He achieved the fastest sand skiing record title after skiing down a sand dune at top speed 75 miles per hour. He took the record title in September on the sandy hills at the Toro Matadoun in Akari.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm concerned.

[Chick McGee]

Elephants run in the wild.

[Tom Griswold]

So his name is what?

[Chick McGee]

Sandy Ma Frady.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's him. Not the sand dune. Sorry, I was confused. What a weirdo name.

[Chick McGee]

Toro Mata is the sand dune.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay in Aari, but his name is what again?

[Pat Godwin]

What?

[Chick McGee]

It's in Akari.

[Pat Godwin]

The Toro is what I was trying to.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Pat Godwin]

Elephant. That would have gone.

[Chick McGee]

In a kari. The 23 year old successful attempt breaks the previous record held by Heinrich May for over 15 years. Just when he reached his top speed, Frady, they call him the Cat. Felt the bottom of a ski melt. I said it nine times. And now you hear it finally, because.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm looking up the how to pronounce the guy's name. Here it is.

[Chick McGee]

The bottom of a ski melted off. I was going to ask temperature of the sand and friction.

[Pat Godwin]

Muscle man, can you imagine falling on that 75 miles an hour.

[Chick McGee]

Physical properties, you want to rate them? I'm going to say number one for me. Always friction.

[Pat Godwin]

Yep, friction.

[Tom Griswold]

That's going to. That didn't hurt. I guess if you never.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Never discount sand yet.

[Tom Griswold]

His name, it's pronounced Mahe Frady and it translates to Sandy crack.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, okay. I was wondering.

[Christy Lee]

There we go.

[Chick McGee]

Thank God we went back.

[Christy Lee]

There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

Now if you're. If you. If you're skiing. If you're skiing in a sand dune.

What do you do for apres ski? Do you drink something hot or something cold?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, you go with something real cold.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. I assume it's pretty warm in this weirdo place. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I'm trying to figure out where the hell it is.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's the.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, in Peru.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the A C A R I.

[Chick McGee]

Hills of Toromata in Akari.

[Christy Lee]

Says a sand dune in Peru. That's. I guess.

[Chick McGee]

You know what, I'm having a great time.

[Christy Lee]

I'm glad someone.

[Chick McGee]

He managed to stop and he did burn a hole in one of the skis.

[Pat Godwin]

Yikes.

[Tom Griswold]

And there's no chairlift or anything, so that's got to be a drag. We're in ski boots walking up a mountain of sand.

[Pat Godwin]

Didn't it look fun?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it did look fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Looks scary to me. Terrifying.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it does.

[Christy Lee]

You ski. What's the difference?

[Tom Griswold]

It's on sand and he wasn't like.

[Christy Lee]

Sand is probably about the same consistency.

[Pat Godwin]

How fast you go in the snow? Snow. If you're going 75 in the sand.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you can go a lot faster on snow.

[Chick McGee]

You can.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't.

[Pat Godwin]

Faster than 75.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sure.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't know that.

[Pat Godwin]

And that guy's not. He's just going straight down. He's not. What do you call it on skis when you go like I don't even.

[Tom Griswold]

Know what this turning.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. When you're doing that thing to kind of traversing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, it's called traversing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Level alpine skier too, which of course.

[Chick McGee]

Helps the fastest speed on skis. On snow. The world record is Sonny Bono.

255 kilometers an hour, which is 160 miles per hour.

[Pat Godwin]

That's crazy.

[Chick McGee]

On skis set by Frenchman, the late Simon.

No, he's still. He's still with us. Frenchman Simon Billy on March. Hey, Tripping Billy's. Billy's March 22, 2023 in Vars, France.

[Tom Griswold]

How fast was he going again?

[Chick McGee]

158.76 miles per hour.

[Christy Lee]

No, thanks.

[Tom Griswold]

That's scary.

[Chick McGee]

That's insane. That's kind enough.

[Christy Lee]

I can't even drop a ball.

[Chick McGee]

Drop a what?

[Christy Lee]

Drop when you get to the top and you drop down and say if.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm going that fast, I'm dropping one.

[Tom Griswold]

You fall, they're going to be digging two of them out of your.

[Pat Godwin]

Pretty good at skiing?

[Christy Lee]

I'm not bad.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, nice.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's been a while, but yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Of course she's great at skiing. She's like a foot off the ground.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Yeah, you don't have to.

[Tom Griswold]

Not fair.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's not bad.

[Pat Godwin]

I would fall and fall and fall and fall.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think. I think you'd be surprised. Once you get it. It's like riding a bike.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm uncoordinated with zero core strength. I'm down.

[Chick McGee]

Right now. I have the strength of a kitten.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that sports? Yes. Okay. Well, speaking of sports, I urge you to go to Bob and tom bob and tom.com contest and enter our pigskin pics competition because you could be a winner. And what do you win? Well, you win that the Steven Singer the I Hate stevensinger.com prize, which is a $500e gift card. Just like Logan Neiman of Fonda, Iowa. He won week 14. Week 15 begins Thursday night. And just go and just make your picks. You don't have to worry about the spread. Just pick the winners and you could find yourself a winner. And we'll talk with Logan tomorrow. He'll pick against Chick Magee in the shoe in of the week. So we certainly look forward to that. Now we can check in with Christy Lee for a quick story then. I've got a little surprise for you. But go ahead, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

A shortage of giant Santa decorations may be ruining Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh no.

[Christy Lee]

Home Depot intended to sell a variety of highly anticipated holiday items earlier this year, including an 8 foot tall Kris Kringle lawn decoration as well as an eight and a half foot tall reindeer. However, as the holiday season approached, fans learned that the super sized decorations were not being released in the United States this year. Home Depot execs have said that some of the biggest holiday decorations, including the popular 12 foot tall skeleton and the Santa and reindeer, are manufactured by a company called Seasonal Visions International and they import many of their products from China. This year, the company alerted customers that tariffs had prompted some policy changes and thus they were not going to be available.

[Tom Griswold]

So I can fix this.

[Pat Godwin]

How so?

[Tom Griswold]

If now there are, as you pointed out, the gigantic Santas have Been very popular the last couple of years.

[Christy Lee]

I'm telling you, all my and uncle's neighborhood is incredible.

[Tom Griswold]

If you read deeper into this article, it was in the Wall Street Journal. There are people who are traveling across states to get them and it's that important to them. Yeah. But I've, I've got a solution. Yeah. If you had one of those gigantic skeletons in your yard, put a Santa hat on it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're done.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[Chick McGee]

That is a great idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of skinny, but.

That is your Santa. So. And a friend of mine did just that.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, really? Yeah, Santa skeleton.

[Tom Griswold]

They had, they have one of those. How old are those? Like 20, 30, 12ft.

[Christy Lee]

According to this. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

This one's bigger than that.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

That I. It's huge. And they put a Santa cap on it. So sweet. And I love the blow up Santas.

[Christy Lee]

Well, this, I think these are blow ups. And the blow up reindeer over here has to be 20ft tall. I, I'll tell you where it is. You'll know because you, you could go that way. It's incredible, huh? Now the lady in our neighborhood, the family and down the street, they have a blow up frosty. And he glows on the inside. And like lights spin around inside. It's pretty amazing.

[Pat Godwin]

I think they're tacky. I, I don't know. I'm, I'm just a Christmas lights guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Where do you stand on the gigantic blow up baby Jesus?

[Pat Godwin]

That's particularly tacky.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, those are, those are on sale at Home Depot. They didn't really. They didn't, they didn't really fly.

[Chick McGee]

What if they had like a tall baby Jesus inflatable with like the fan in it? Like the wiggly guys? Yeah, I mean him in a diaper wiggly.

[Pat Godwin]

Like outside of like a Catholic supply store.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't think we could get any more tasteless. And then Chick stepped up and I actually you elevated it to a better level of awfulness.

[Chick McGee]

And I will tell you, I was.

[Tom Griswold]

Feeling bad about my joke.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, I edited my jokes. I edited original comment.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

So anyway, I'm a big fan of all that stuff. It's fun. But do you have just the. Now at my house I have like 10 trees, but it's just all white lights.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, on every tree.

[Tom Griswold]

Do the colorful lights or just the all white.

[Pat Godwin]

Thankfully my tree, I have three settings. I can do.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. I can do all white, I can do colorful small and I can do colorful old school fat cat lights.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Can you do all of them? Mixed together.

[Pat Godwin]

And then you can also, like, have them some light up and go from top to bottom and bottom to top and create like, a show.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Kelly, she has on her car, she has a whatchamacallit, A. I don't know, a wreath. Wreath. Thank you. A wreath in the front of her car.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

With lights. And depending on what neighborhood you go into, the lights are either.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, boy.

[Christy Lee]

Stop. Okay, we have to take a break.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I didn't think you could. I didn't think you could surpass what you'd done yesterday.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Pat Godwin]

I always like grill. Don't you like seeing something on somebody's.

[Christy Lee]

Grill and the reindeer horns on the top? I saw that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I love the wreath in the car.

[Pat Godwin]

Eyelashes on the headlights.

[Tom Griswold]

The fact that you can now light them up is pretty funny and pretty cool. Well, now, coming up later on in the show, it'll be Ali Breen with sexy time, which is always fun. Plus, Christy Lee's gonna be over there getting ready for a trip to Italy. She'll be announcing at some point later this morning. I've been told. And we have interesting news and a song coming up from Patty G. We have menopause in the news. Isn't it odd that menopause has the word men in it?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I've always been bottom.

[Pat Godwin]

Why isn't it brought upon?

[Chick McGee]

Why isn't it. Why is it jumbo shrimp? And why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway? I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

Are we boring you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Why is it called a terminal plus something. Something on his airplane. And taxis are different.

[Tom Griswold]

You might. This might interest you. Although I doubt it. Chick. It's not about shoes. There is a sock at clowning. There is a wrapping paper coming out.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. It smells like soda pop.

[Tom Griswold]

That is scented.

[Chick McGee]

I thought that was out. Or maybe I was just seeing. How weird is that soda pop theme? There was no smell involved.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out about that and more when we return to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This will remain the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hi there. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee. She's at the Silac insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Hello. Josh Hernold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick McGee at the Prize pick sports desk. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Chick Magee.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

We have Christy Lee in her flannel shirt. Yeah, over there getting ready for some cooler weather. What's going on?

[Christy Lee]

Well, the soda pop brand, Ollipop. Are you familiar with Olipop? We have some in our.

[Tom Griswold]

I like that.

[Christy Lee]

I do too. They're launching the soda scented wrapping paper just in time for the holidays.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Grandma. Your gift is the one covered in ants.

[Christy Lee]

Calling it the first ever soda scented paper. The brand said each roll features scents inspired by three of their fan favorites. Crisp apple vintage cola and ginger ale.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm gonna try this Olipop.

[Christy Lee]

It's in our refrigerator. I think we have a cranberry one that's really good right now.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a healthy alternative with probiotics and high fiber.

[Pat Godwin]

I tried it.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

I tried it the other day and far less sugar.

[Pat Godwin]

It was the cranberry one and it was delightful, wasn't it?

[Christy Lee]

See, this limited edition item is currently available through December 16th, part of a giveaway on drinkolipop.com that's O L I P O P. They're a US beverage company. They launched in 2018. They call them functional sodas designed to taste like your cat. Your classic soft drinks but with far.

[Pat Godwin]

Less sugar and maybe some prebiotics or something.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I think you're right. And you can get them at anywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

The name functional soda is really off putting. Why don't they go Mindful Soda? Cut it out. I hate the tree hugger names they give this stuff. But I'll tell you what, it's great stuff. Don't get me wrong.

[Christy Lee]

People live with this every day and.

[Tom Griswold]

It, no, it's, I just don't like the functional soda.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God, give me a break. But I, I, they shouldn't really do wrapping paper. They should wrap it in toilet paper because I'll tell you what, the, there's a lot of fiber.

[Pat Godwin]

You could double as a Tom, have you heard the new word? I'm looking it up to make sure I have it right. I believe it's ultro vert. I. I wanted to throw my phone.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I saw that article. Yeah. O Travert. Yeah. It ended up being nothing.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly seven signs. You're an otrovert. So from what I gathered, there are introverts, of course.

[Christy Lee]

People who are.

[Pat Godwin]

Then they're extroverts. This is somebody who's a little bit of both.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So we needed a word for that.

[Pat Godwin]

So essentially everyone. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

How about that?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Not necessary at all.

[Tom Griswold]

What does it mean? I don't get it.

[Christy Lee]

I know you're a little bit introverted.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

A little bit extroverted.

[Pat Godwin]

That seemed to be the crux of the article.

[Chick McGee]

You're a little bit country. You're a little bit rock and roll. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And someone needed a word for that.

[Pat Godwin]

I. No, they don't. They didn't. They didn't, but they did it anyway.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This reminds me of those articles you read, you know, that they said to some intern, hey, go make up this crap. Yeah. We'll turn it into. You can turn it into six inches. That's all I need. Column inches, my friend.

[Christy Lee]

Whole Foods has released its top food Trend predictions for 2026. Since we're talking about food number eight, we'll go from the bottom to the top. Premium instant foods.

[Pat Godwin]

Wait, what's this?

[Christy Lee]

They're the top food Trend predictions for 2020.

[Pat Godwin]

Premium instant food. Oh, I see.

[Tom Griswold]

Like high.

[Christy Lee]

High end ramen or something.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Good ingredients.

[Chick McGee]

Instance.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Number seven, health conscious sweets.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Products that are subtly sweeted. Sweetened. Sweetened with like real cane sugar, whole fruit, honey, maple syrup.

[Tom Griswold]

So in other words, really expensive stuff. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Number six, vinegar. Everything from pickle brine to premium small batch offerings. Boy, I went to that store you went to that had the high end coffee maker thing the other day. They have so many different vinegars. I was just. Just how many different flavors of vinegar do they have?

[Tom Griswold]

The white. White vinegar you can use to clean your floors.

[Christy Lee]

No, but they have.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You have to add some smell to that. Add a nice little.

[Pat Godwin]

I use it for my shower heads.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Remember at Easter you always had to buy vinegar to dye the Easter eggs?

[Tom Griswold]

I love that.

[Chick McGee]

That's gone, I guess, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. But I still. They still have that great tool, though. Don't they have that little wire tool that you can pick up?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they don't have the little dye things that you dropped in that look like.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they have little dye pellets.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And you don't have to put Vinegar in them?

[Tom Griswold]

No. Oh, I wonder if you can get the old school kind, because didn't you used to have to boil?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It was a whole. It was a process.

[Pat Godwin]

It was a thing.

[Chick McGee]

Boiling water and vinegar.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's what's wrong with today's world.

[Chick McGee]

The wax pencils.

[Pat Godwin]

The wax pencils. We would end up using crayon, like a white crayon.

[Tom Griswold]

And then Josh gave me a great gift. I still have it. It's. You put the egg in it and the egg spins around.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. And they can marker them and take marker.

[Tom Griswold]

That's cool.

[Christy Lee]

More food Trend predictions for 2026 elevated frozen food.

[Tom Griswold]

So in other words, more expensive high end frozen food.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I thought it was like arancini and papusas and other chef inspired favorites.

[Chick McGee]

I thought it was.

[Tom Griswold]

You run into a frozen pupusa on.

[Chick McGee]

A higher shelf, right out of your reach there.

[Tom Griswold]

Everybody to frozen pupusa.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't know, but I've been told frozen pupusa is mighty cold.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Ah. Fun. Food packaging. Part of a larger dopamine decor trend.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to look that up. I had no idea what they were talking about.

[Christy Lee]

Well, they make the packaging look prettier, so you'll buy it.

[Tom Griswold]

Dopamine decor is a style. It makes you thesis or philosophy. Really?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It gets inside your brain.

[Chick McGee]

It's a philosophy.

[Tom Griswold]

Immanuel Kant on his.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

That's his name. Manuel Kant.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, yes, that is his name. The second time you corrected yourself.

[Tom Griswold]

Famous.

[Chick McGee]

You were really. You're hitting all the marks this week, you know that?

[Tom Griswold]

Should I have gone with Descartes?

Maybe a couple of logical positivists.

[Christy Lee]

It makes you feel good. Inside it says dopamine.

[Tom Griswold]

Dick. Or a philosopher. Philosophy of interior design focusing on making spaces that make you feel good.

[Christy Lee]

I just said that.

[Pat Godwin]

So interior design is again more made up. Just non food.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Number three, more. This is more expensive. We're gonna give it a crappy name and charge you more.

[Christy Lee]

Whole food markets food Trends predictions for 2026. Number three, foods grown by female farmers.

[Pat Godwin]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

How do we know where a food's grown? Does it say. Do you have a picture on it? Are they gonna, you know.

[Pat Godwin]

My eggs do.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, they do.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

That same guy? Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Aren't they good?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they are good.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a picture of who on them.

[Pat Godwin]

Like the.

[Chick McGee]

The people who make the egg lady.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Number two is fiber. And number one.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait, wait, that's it? Just fiber?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, just fiber.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the food trend.

[Chick McGee]

Fiber.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. Gonna eat a lot of fiber. This year?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yes. I guess.

[Chick McGee]

You like fiber? Yeah, they don't.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't. Get a little more specific.

[Christy Lee]

Nope. The number one is beef.

[Pat Godwin]

Your jicamas, your celeries.

[Tom Griswold]

Beef tallow.

[Pat Godwin]

Beef tallow, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody loves beef.

[Pat Godwin]

So much healthier.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have you had the french fries yet and beef tallow that this.

[Pat Godwin]

Place they can shake.

[Chick McGee]

I haven't.

[Pat Godwin]

I have not.

[Christy Lee]

I had the other day. Very good.

[Pat Godwin]

Are they still the really small thin? Okay. So they haven't changed the size or anything?

[Christy Lee]

Nope, they just fry them in beef towel.

[Pat Godwin]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Is beef tallow? Does it come in a jar?

[Pat Godwin]

It can, yeah, it's. I also, you guys, this is. I have a small patch of eczema on my thigh and I've had it for years. And it doesn't go anywhere else. It's just about a half dollar size.

[Tom Griswold]

It's in the shape of Peru and it.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

And it itches and itches and itches and nothing worked. No, no prescription, no over the counter stuff worked. And somebody said try beef tallow. And so I went to the farmer's market and I got some and it's worked for me more than anything else has.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

You just rub it on there like a cream.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Christy Lee]

And all the dogs follow you all over.

[Chick McGee]

There he is. Let's get him.

[Tom Griswold]

Usually, usually, usually he steps a little.

[Pat Godwin]

Higher but yeah, yeah, it doesn't work but when my cats lick it off it feels better.

[Tom Griswold]

So jeopardy was. What was this category again?

[Chick McGee]

Food.

[Christy Lee]

Food predictions.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, predictions for.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, food trend predictions. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

My only trend I've already for 2026 is having my underwear match my Stanley.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh good. Yeah, yeah, that's a good, huh?

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Now will you have multiple Stanley's? So yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a festive day. I'll get a green Stanley for St. Patty's Day and then have them have some green. Green brief.

[Christy Lee]

Am I the only person in the room? I don't have a Stanley. Do you have a Stanley?

[Pat Godwin]

I don't have a Stanley.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh really? I've got this. I've got a spare 300 at my house.

[Christy Lee]

I think it's a younger kid.

[Pat Godwin]

They're pretty good. Oh, they keep things cool.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not kidding.

[Christy Lee]

I'm a yeti girl.

[Tom Griswold]

I saw my.

I walked by the, the, what do you call it? The lost and found table.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

At my kids school it was the history of Stanley and yeti. There were dozens of them.

[Pat Godwin]

We are at the zenith of beverage container technology.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well it's Better than the plastic.

[Chick McGee]

It's a wonderful time, my friend.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you can. You can date a movie now based on whether or not they've got plastic water bottles.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

And I. I'm not. We're probably not too far away from. I was watching some show the other day, and at the beginning of the show, they have the warnings, the trigger warnings. One of them was cigarette smoking.

[Christy Lee]

Sure, yeah, I've seen that.

[Pat Godwin]

Who's triggered by that, though?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know, but no one. It'll. It'll say cigarette warning, whatever it might. I forget what language. Sexual content or language. Pretty soon we're going to have. It'll be people drinking from plastic bottles.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what? It happens. You're gonna go right again.

[Christy Lee]

The most annoying Christmas songs according to one survey, anyhow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's. It's just one of those things that's fun. Everybody's got their own that they hate.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

No matter what it is, just remember.

[Pat Godwin]

Just. It might be your least favorite. Might be somebody else's favorite.

[Christy Lee]

Now, the least favorite is probably one of the most favorite songs ever.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I was pleased that the one I hate the most is way up on the list, though. That's why we're doing this story right now. I want to say congratulations again to Logan Neiman of Fonda, Iowa. LaFonda Chick, are you fond of Iowa?

[Chick McGee]

I love Iowa.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good. He scored the Most. He got 13 of 14 correct in the NFL on Week 14, and he was the only one to do so. He is our winner of that $500 E gift card from our buddy Steven Singer at Steven Singer jewelers. And we're going to talk to him tomorrow. We look forward to that. Certainly. You can enter go to bovandtom.com contest for week 15, which begins, of course, tomorrow evening with the Thursday nighter. And you could win that Stephen Singer jeweler prize pack, which is you get to pick what you want. And by the way, speaking of Stephen Singer, he apparently may have an issue. Oh, I hate to say this.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

I was just looking at this and you know that the prices of gold have gone way up.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I know. I've heard.

[Tom Griswold]

Diamonds. Same deal. And it says here Steven Singer has locked in his diamond stud earrings at the same price as last year. So this. This could be a problem because he's clearly insane. It's the Anita diamond stud earrings. They start at just 298 bucks. You cannot go wrong with these. Of course.

[Christy Lee]

His problem. Your gang.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Very good.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Just don't make Fun of him. And don't say, hi, Steven, do you still understand the English language? Good. I'd like to buy some beautiful earrings. The point of this whole exercise.

[Chick McGee]

What is he doing?

[Tom Griswold]

Is that Steven Singer Jewelers is famous for many things, including the lifetime trade in. You can trade in your suds anytime and get what you paid toward a larger pair of earrings. Also, he, of course, has fast and free shipping. Who else does that anymore? Free shipping. Get the orders in by today at 2:00' clock and they're out the door. So get it done now. Get it out of the way. Check out all the inventory by going to I hate stevensinger dot com. That's I hate stephensinger dot com. The Anita diamond stud earrings. Christy explained it to me again. They have some kind of weird backing thing. What is it?

[Christy Lee]

They have a silicone back that makes them stay in so you don't lose them.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. You're not vacuuming the carpet looking for the diamond earrings. You know what I'm talking about. Okay, once again, it's ihatestevensinger.com. what's coming up from the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, Christmas songs that you find most annoying. We have a guy charged with assault with a snowblower. It's that time of year. And remember the monkeys that got out? Those rhesus monkeys that escaped? Yeah, we have one. One has actually been found that. Remember, they got all but two. One of them is in a happy place. We'll talk about it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no.

[Pat Godwin]

Like a big farm in the sky.

[Chick McGee]

Like a heaven. They're in monkey heaven.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Alive and well. Okay, well, that's nice. Plus we'll hit. We'll grab a couple of Bob and Tom Christmas classics as we talk about songs that some people hate, some people love. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think 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. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Hi. She's at the Psylac Insurance like a brother news desk. Right back at you, kiddo.

There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold. Hi there. He's the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I am Chick. And hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. This is a weird story.

[Pat Godwin]

What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

What is it?

[Chick McGee]

We only. That's the only kind we do you.

[Tom Griswold]

Lived in Miami for quite some time? Time, Yeah, I did.

[Chick McGee]

Barry Gibbs guest house.

[Pat Godwin]

I was kept man by Barry Gibbs.

[Christy Lee]

We're just hearing about this. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a big fan of the Publix.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I love next door Chantilly cake.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my.

[Tom Griswold]

Great.

[Chick McGee]

Grocery store rotisserie chickens to die for.

[Tom Griswold]

According to this arrest report.

Authorities say a man pulled a knife on another man in the bathroom at a Publix.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Quote, he really needed to use the stall.

[Pat Godwin]

And I'll cut you if you don't let me.

[Tom Griswold]

According to the arrest report, the victim was using the men's room at the Public's, one of the public stores in Miami. The 72 year old suspect entered the restroom frantically and began to bang on the stall door, demanding the man seated inside get out. As the victim was leaving the stall, the suspect pulled out a knife and quote, tried to cut him.

[David Rush]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Police came. The suspect reportedly told the officer he really needed to use the restroom. The victim did not move out of his way. So he took out a knife.

[Christy Lee]

Could you move out of the way if somebody yelled at you and you were mid whatever you were doing? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh. I. I'm not trying to defend anybody here, but.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. That's not a. Not a sane man.

[Tom Griswold]

Ironically scared the crap out of him and he just left.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I just left the grandpa.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

You ever see a movie where somebody's going number two and then they. There's like something that happens and they just get up and put. And pull their pants up and walk out to see what it is? Yeah. That's a movie.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Wiper. Nothing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it's like. I know we. I mean, we don't want to sit here as an audience and watch somebody wipe, but at the same time, now all I can think about is Sir Mud Butt.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

And I wasn't going to do the story.

[Christy Lee]

Sir Mud Butt.

[Chick McGee]

All right. Sir Mud.

[Tom Griswold]

It doesn't make it clear if the suspect, by the way, entered the aforementioned stall and did what he had to do to carve his initials into the well.

Apparently prairie dogging was happening.

[Pat Godwin]

Have you ever done any bathroom graffiti?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Here.

[Chick McGee]

I said brokenhearted.

[Pat Godwin]

None of that. Yeah, either have I. I am an admirer, though.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. These days it gets very political very quickly.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, that's just what I need.

[Chick McGee]

I bet it does.

[Pat Godwin]

More politics somebody will scratch out, you know? Yeah. It makes zero sense. Why?

[Christy Lee]

Well, back in the olden days, before you were born, almost just people just wrote phone numbers for a good time call.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Classic yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Now, there was no politics involved. It was just weird.

[Tom Griswold]

And Pat, you were telling me. And Pat was telling me half the time. Those are guys, right? Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

More than half.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this Rhonda.

[Christy Lee]

I wonder if anybody ever wrote those down.

[Chick McGee]

Now I know the crank phone call has gone away, hasn't it? I guess.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, I guess everything's caller IDs because nobody answers.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh. It's been replaced now with calls telemarketers.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't stand it because if the.

[Christy Lee]

Name doesn't come up, we don't answer the phone.

[Chick McGee]

How many times does your phone ring a day and it says possible telemarketer?

[Tom Griswold]

At least four.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I would say. Yeah. Five over. Under five.

[Tom Griswold]

And my question is, whenever you hit that thing, block and reports spam. Apparently that's not working.

[Chick McGee]

I.

Have my own theory on that. I think they just put that up there to make you feel better. I think maybe nothing happens when that. When you push that button, it deletes it, but that's about it.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance news desk.

[Pat Godwin]

What's happening?

[Chick McGee]

What? No. What if that go. When you hit that delete and report, it goes to some marksman.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd be fully favored.

[Chick McGee]

All right. Hey, we got another one. Hang on. I got him. Okay, he's deleted.

[Pat Godwin]

Stretching out the window.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

Sorry, Chris.

[Christy Lee]

A new poll shows Christmas songs Americans find the most annoying finance buzz. Surveyed over 1200 u. S. Adults.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, finance buzz. Hey, they're weighing in.

[Christy Lee]

Found out that the most annoying holiday songs are.

[Pat Godwin]

Are we starting with one or should.

[Christy Lee]

We start at one or 10?

[Tom Griswold]

You start at 10.

[Chick McGee]

Let's start at 10. I find if this. Okay, go ahead.

[Christy Lee]

See if we have the same list. Number 10. Do you hear what I hear?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, that's one of my favorites.

[Tom Griswold]

Not bad.

[Chick McGee]

That's not the one I have.

[Tom Griswold]

And that. That doesn't get overplayed.

[Pat Godwin]

No, I love that one.

[Chick McGee]

Number 10 on my list is Grandma got run over by a Reindeer.

[Christy Lee]

That's not even on my list.

[Tom Griswold]

List.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Pat Godwin]

That's shocking.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I. I change the channel if that comes up.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, the grandma one. Number nine is a song that we've talked about in here before the Wonderful Christmas time by Paul McCartney.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I will defend that one. I like that.

[Pat Godwin]

I hate it.

[Chick McGee]

My. My number nine is Dominic the Donkey by Lou Monte.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

I am familiar with it.

[Chick McGee]

Dominic the Donkey.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this an American list?

[Chick McGee]

You're looking Dominic Nick the Donkey by Lou Monty. I have Basically, kind of tangentially heard of this. Yes.

[Christy Lee]

I've not heard those.

[Pat Godwin]

I will hear it once a year on one of those. You know, too, Josh. I do, yeah. I couldn't sing it for you, but I know because I remember going, what is this?

[Chick McGee]

And then kind of like Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Kind of. But he's Dominic the Donkey or something like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like one of those.

[Christy Lee]

I think our producers frantically looking.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like one of those things they tried to, like, make a cartoon of and force it down our throats and it didn't fly. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, right.

Number eight is White Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I like White Christmas. I'm over it. My number eight is I want to Hippopotamus for Christmas.

[Christy Lee]

I see. Yours is almost like Novelty my by Gala Peavey.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, These are the 10. This is a different list. The 10 most annoying Christmas songs ever made.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, that's what you've got.

[Chick McGee]

That's what mine.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, gotcha.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's what these are.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, these are hated. Right?

[Christy Lee]

Annoying holiday songs.

Number seven, Happy Christmas, War Is Over, John Lennon.

[Tom Griswold]

I truly hate that a lot.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it's lovely. I think it's incredible melody.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it's. I think it's rare. Very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Horrible.

[Christy Lee]

Number six. What did you have?

[Chick McGee]

Number seven, Christmas Shoes by New Song. I don't even know what the hell that is.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, number six is Deck the Halls.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, that's kind of. This is a little Baja generic.

[Christy Lee]

My favorite Christmas song. One of them of all time is number five.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute. Oh, do they know It's Christmas by Band Aid?

[Pat Godwin]

That's six. I don't.

[Chick McGee]

Do they.

[Pat Godwin]

That's not for me.

[Chick McGee]

Christmas after.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't hate it, but it's. It's. I. I don't care for it.

[Christy Lee]

That's not on my list at all either. Number five is Baby It's Cold Outside.

[Pat Godwin]

That's ridiculous.

[Chick McGee]

That's a great song. Mine is Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's a great song.

[Tom Griswold]

I kind of like that one.

[Pat Godwin]

Innovative.

[Chick McGee]

You like.

[Pat Godwin]

You like Christmas, Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Merry Christmas.

[Pat Godwin]

That I like, but I can also see why it annoys some.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Christy Lee]

Number four, Holly Jolly Christmas by Burl Eyes.

[Pat Godwin]

That's one of the best.

[Chick McGee]

Fantastic.

[Pat Godwin]

And it's all of a minute 30.

[Chick McGee]

We're just getting to the meat. On my list. Funky, Funky Christmas by New Kids on the Block.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I'm.

[Tom Griswold]

Again, I'm not familiar with any of these on your List number three.

[Chick McGee]

I have a lot you're not familiar with. I know. I. Okay, okay.

[Christy Lee]

This will make Tom happy because this is his most hated Feliz Navidad.

[Pat Godwin]

What? I'm not a fan.

[Christy Lee]

Most annoying.

[Chick McGee]

That one.

[Tom Griswold]

It's so repetitive. God, it's horrible.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, it's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I like Bob's version.

[Pat Godwin]

What was his Police.

[Tom Griswold]

Drop your top, please.

[Chick McGee]

Drop your top, please.

[Pat Godwin]

Drop your top. Yeah, it's a classic. Well, at least he's being polite about it as opposed to ordering.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Top drop mine. Mine is the chipmunk song. Christmas.

[Christy Lee]

Number two on my list.

[Pat Godwin]

What's your number two?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, two is that's Christmas to Me by Pentatonix.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I don't hate it also, but, boy, do I like all these.

[Chick McGee]

My number one is wonderful, wonderful Christmas tribe. Paul McCartney the most.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm with you.

That's fun.

[Pat Godwin]

That's Sounds like Christmas bear.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

He's a honky donkey. This is beautiful.

[Pat Godwin]

This will show up on some of those stations.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

The cutest little donkey.

Some people say.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this America?

[Pat Godwin]

Isn't that cute?

[Christy Lee]

Can't climb the hills of Italy.

[Tom Griswold]

This sounds like one of the ones that at the. At the school Christmas pageant they force the kids to do because the.

[Chick McGee]

The. The music teacher's Italian or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the. The program title. We can't Mention Jesus. You know what I'm talking about?

[Pat Godwin]

That's a fun one.

That should be. That should be it. A new Christmas song.

[Chick McGee]

I like.

[Tom Griswold]

He. We can't mention Jesus.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The perfect song for them for every school's holiday party.

[Christy Lee]

Don't you have a Christmas album?

[Pat Godwin]

Christmas album, Chris. Christmas bonus. Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Christmas bonus. Could you play us a song from Christmas?

[Tom Griswold]

I could.

[Pat Godwin]

We could take one of Chick's most annoying songs and maybe turn it around and get some. Get some life into it.

This is how we do it where I come from. Grandpa got worked over by a mobster.

Walking in New Jersey Christmas Eve.

You may say there isn't any Mafia. Mafia. But as for me and Grandma, we believe.

Christmas is tough when you're retired.

So we went to Vinnie for a loan.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no.

[Pat Godwin]

He got behind on his payments. So the Vin sent a goon to break some Bones.

When they found him Christmas morning.

[Tom Griswold]

At.

[Pat Godwin]

The scene of the attack.

He was bruised and barely breathing in the trunk of an all black Cadillac. Everybody sing. Grandpa got worked over by a mobster.

Walking in New Jersey New Jersey Christmas Eve walking.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I swallowed funny.

[Pat Godwin]

My throat. I got the bronchitis of Josh. You may say there isn't any mafia. As for me and grandma, we believe they put a horse set in his bedroom.

Around his neck there was a note.

You better raise some cash by midnight or they'll find you with a fish shoved down your throat. Oh, I, I've warned all my friends and neighbors Only seven more minutes.

[Tom Griswold]

Always borrow.

[Pat Godwin]

Always borrow from a bank.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, thank you very much, Pat.

[Chick McGee]

You're welcome, Dominic the Dunkey. You've never heard donkey pronounced donkey?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

Sure. Oh, that's how they do it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he hated it.

[Tom Griswold]

Was on your list of.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Songs that people hate. Okay, well, thank you very much. Now, what's coming up, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have a guy who has some problems with a snowblower. We have an update on the monkeys who escaped from that highway crash in Mississippi. Don't pick those mushrooms and try to eat them. It's kind of bad in California right now. And a real interesting story about train service in the UK being halted for a very weird reason.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, well, thank you very much, Christy. Right now, the Bob and Tom show sponsored by Better Help. Better Help is has been around for a while. In fact, some 5 million people have been taking advantage of the convenience offered by therapy that is done online one on one. But you do it, as I said, online. And BetterHelp can get you hooked up with a licensed, proper therapist. Holidays, of course, a time of traditions. And one of the important things about traditions as you carry on is feeling good about yourself. And that's where therapy can help you. And incorporating therapy into your holidays right now might help you out, because the holidays can be tough for people. So consider trying BetterHelp once again. Online therapy. 30,000 therapists are working with BetterHelp. And like I said, over 5 million people have used their services. This is kind of interesting. They have a 4.9 out of 5 rating. 4.9 out of 5 for their live sessions. And you'll take a little kind of a quiz thing to get yourself hooked up with a proper therapist that might suit your needs. You can switch anytime. No additional fees are involved. This December, start a new tradition by taking care of you. Here's what you do. You hit on your phone £250, that's £250. Say the keyword BT Show. So for an additional kind of a little, we'll knock off some cash. How about that? I'll put it that way. The keyword is BT Show. Once again, call £2 5 0, that's £250. And find out information about better help. This December, once again, the Bob and Tom show, sponsored by BetterHelp. Christy Lee will be back there at the Cylinder Insurance news desk in a matter of moments. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, we have a surprise guest coming in. I don't know who it is. We'll find out shortly.

[Christy Lee]

Of history. Don't forget your history.

[Tom Griswold]

We got. We got a little history lesson.

[Chick McGee]

Of course, if we don't remember history, we're doomed to repeat it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, and we'll be doomed. We will be doomed. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Chick McGee]

Steely, not bad.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, man, that sounded good.

[Tom Griswold]

Do it again.

[Chick McGee]

Pat Godwin wasn't listening. No, ma'. Am.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello?

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold over there. Hey, man. Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I wanted to tell you. No, no, it's my bad. Visit Steven Singer Jewelers atIhateStevensinger.com. find out why he's the most trusted jeweler in America and the most hated jeweler in America by other jewelers. That's I Hate Stephensinger dot com.

[Tom Griswold]

And don't forget. Let's see now. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, the Thursday nighter will kick off week 15 in the NFL. Our winner for week 14 of that Steven Singer gift card is a guy named Logan Neiman from Fonda, Iowa. We'll talk to him tomorrow with sure.

[Chick McGee]

[Tom Griswold]

It could be naming. It's N E H M A N. I'm sure it's Logan.

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome.

Logan. Could you carry me to the toilet?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Professor, I just took you.

[Chick McGee]

Please.

[Pat Godwin]

You're wiping yourself this time.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Pat Godwin]

You don't want Wolverine wiping you.

[Chick McGee]

But that's my favorite part. Where was I?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I was trying to urge you to Go to bob and tom.com contest so you could win that $500 e gift card from Steven Singer jewelers. Thank you very much. Now, the lady in the flannel shirt over there is Christy Lee. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

Well, you get the history ready and I'll do this story. An Ontario man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted someone with a snowblower.

[Pat Godwin]

Your mother was a snowblower.

[Christy Lee]

The Sault Ste. Marie police service said the suspect got into an argument with the victim who's known to them, but before intentionally directing snow from the snowblower at this particular victim.

[Pat Godwin]

That's funny.

[Christy Lee]

No physical injuries were reported. The officers arrested though the 57 year old and charged him with assault.

[Pat Godwin]

Arrested?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You can assault someone with snow.

[Tom Griswold]

This seems to me like it'd be a great. A great visual gag in a Hallmark movie.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey. Oh, yeah. Runs and shoots him with snow. You don't arrest the guy.

[Pat Godwin]

They're fairly harmless.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You have a snowblower.

[Chick McGee]

Does it.

[Christy Lee]

Is it. Does the snow come out?

[Pat Godwin]

It does. Now there are times where it gets. If it's particular, if it's a certain type of snow.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Pat Godwin]

It clogs up and about every minute. I have to get in there. But it's still. It's still a good thing.

[Christy Lee]

But it doesn't turn it off. It would hurt someone if it.

[Pat Godwin]

No, it does not come out like it would hurt someone.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you don't want to put your hand in there. If it unfreezes, you'll lop off your fingers.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. I make sure that I'm not. Not that it's. I'm not anywhere near the. It's like a push mower. You have to have a lever. You have to lever.

[Christy Lee]

Gotcha.

[Pat Godwin]

But if you hit a rock, I guess that could shoot out and hit somebody, but still. Come on. I know, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

This guy gonna go to jail?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

I sure hope not.

[Tom Griswold]

Why they call you the Blower? Not because of that.

[Chick McGee]

Your mother. Yeah. Your mother was a.

[Tom Griswold]

What would he have done if it was weed eater season?

All right, I'm gonna shave off your mustache. Boom.

Okay. You wanted some history. Do you?

[Christy Lee]

I do.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. This is gonna be a stretch. I haven't seen this yet. What is today?

[Ali Breen]

Today?

[Pat Godwin]

March 1st.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good.

[Pat Godwin]

The 10th or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, that's too sad.

Let's. Happy birthday. Born in 1960, actor Kenneth Branagh.

[Pat Godwin]

Where are you on Branagh? On. I like him early on. I think he got a little pretentious along the way.

[Chick McGee]

I like him too.

[Pat Godwin]

And I even like Pretentious Brand. He's good.

[Christy Lee]

I like Kenneth.

[Pat Godwin]

Although he really apparently mistreated Emma Thompson. And that to me is unforgivable.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there's.

[Chick McGee]

She's.

[Pat Godwin]

The only way you treat Emma Thompson is with love and respect.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's always doing those movies where. What if Shakespeare took place at a McDonald's?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, brilliant. Yes, Yes, I know. I. I kind of hate him. And love.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like a Big Mac, sire.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's no talking toy movie, I'll give you that.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom, Toy Story 2. Best movie made in the last 50 years.

[Chick McGee]

You know, Brandon friggin mind.

[Pat Godwin]

Really entertaining in Wild Wild west, which is an oft maligned box office bomb. I. I found it to be quite entertaining.

[Christy Lee]

I have some news coming up about that.

[Tom Griswold]

In the first place, he's kind of like Woody Allen. He's like, hey, you know, you could cast somebody else in one of these.

Happy birthday, 1964. Bobby Flay.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, he can cook.

[Tom Griswold]

I like his Flay o fish.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes. I like his flame and yawn.

[Tom Griswold]

It's right there. I mean, come on.

Happy birthday, 1974. Meg White, the former drummer of the White Stripes.

[Chick McGee]

Sure, there's a big. There was a he. Jack White's been real vocal lately about putting her in the hall of fame or something. I thought she was already. I thought the White Stripes were in. Jack went in.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought. Oh, I thought. Were they the White Stripes?

[Chick McGee]

Just. I thought she was in. Yeah, I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

But they go.

They don't go. They're not playing together, are they?

[Chick McGee]

Not anymore.

[Pat Godwin]

Ever since they got divorced.

[Tom Griswold]

Does he go out as the White Stripe?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, well, no wonder they got divorced. Yeah, they got brother and sister. That was a joke.

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought they were brothers.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, Meg White's his mom. Come on.

[Christy Lee]

I thought they were brother and sister.

[Chick McGee]

We'll move on, Mama. Meg, why are you believing me?

[Tom Griswold]

Enough with facts, okay? God, I have no idea.

[Pat Godwin]

For lack thereof, we don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay? Happy birthday. The great Joe Burrow. Glad to see Joe back on the field.

[Pat Godwin]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Am I correct in saying.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, here we go. Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't he buy the Sports Fan Batmobile last year or something?

[Chick McGee]

He tried to. I don't know if that's. That's come about or not. It was talked about in the Hard Knock Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wait a minute. Tom, we have an interruption.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you. Did you give him this?

[Chick McGee]

What? What are you talking About.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey.

It'S gonna grow on you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no.

[Pat Godwin]

Do you know, like a fungus.

[Christy Lee]

She was married to Jack White. I'm sorry. Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I thought they were brother and sister.

[Tom Griswold]

I did, too.

[Chick McGee]

She is his mom. He married his own mother.

[Tom Griswold]

So the same. The same confusion exists about the Osmond.

[Pat Godwin]

Brother and sister and the Nelson brothers.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Were they gay or were they.

[Chick McGee]

Not gay? In man. Just brother.

[Pat Godwin]

The one guy's out on his own now.

[Chick McGee]

Who.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Half Nelson.

[Chick McGee]

He's. Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see now. Lawrence of Arabia, the movie. It premiered in this date in 1962.

[Chick McGee]

What's his face says he does that. Hold up. That every year.

[Pat Godwin]

I have a confession.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

I've never seen it.

[Christy Lee]

I've never seen it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I've seen half of it.

[Tom Griswold]

I need to rewatch it, and this is really long.

[Pat Godwin]

David Lean is one of my favorite directors, and I've not seen that. Peter o' Toole is terrific.

[Christy Lee]

This is going to piss, Tom.

[Pat Godwin]

I'll watch it over Christmas break. That's my thing.

[Christy Lee]

We really aren't bad about the White Stripes things because after they got divorced, she insisted that they continue to perform and they presented themselves publicly as brother and sister.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

All right. So that's where the confusion began. So now we have that cleared up.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's.

[Chick McGee]

Could have sworn she was his mom.

[Tom Griswold]

Even.

[David Rush]

Weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Peter Jackson released the Fellowship of the ring in 2001. Is. Is that. Are there three of those movies?

[Pat Godwin]

There are three of those. And then three Hobbits.

[Christy Lee]

I saw the first one. That was enough.

[Chick McGee]

All of that is lost on me. And I like Game of Thrones.

[Pat Godwin]

Those first three I loved.

[Tom Griswold]

And I didn't mind the Hobbit 2012. Johnny Manziel, Johnny Football becomes the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Pat Godwin]

We were merely fresh.

[Tom Griswold]

That'll be awarded Saturday night. Saturday night. Okay. Great.

[Chick McGee]

Great, great, great, great, great, great, great. It's just gonna be great.

[Pat Godwin]

It's very important, you know.

[Chick McGee]

It's gonna be great.

[Pat Godwin]

Everyone's saying it'll be great.

[Chick McGee]

They're gonna. Before we award the Heisman, ladies and gentlemen, it's Lou Monte.

[Tom Griswold]

You realize by doing that, that guy's gonna get royalties all he deserves.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, the whole.

[Pat Godwin]

You know what, genius?

[Chick McGee]

I don't want to live in a world where Lou Monty.

Doesn'T get his rewarded for his efforts.

[Pat Godwin]

He's got money from his brother, though. His brother was in the canning industry.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Dale.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now, Dale made a killing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The previous eight minutes of the show have contained virtually no facts.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no, but they have to.

We're looking for bail money. They have to go.

[Pat Godwin]

We're like cable news.

[Christy Lee]

People don't come here for facts.

[Chick McGee]

They got to get their brother out of jail.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Three card and. Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. The one.

[Chick McGee]

Three Card Monty.

[Pat Godwin]

And of course, full Monte. He was arrested for. Oh. Lewd and lascivious public indecency.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, though. Hey, Lou Monty has more song.

[Chick McGee]

You're damn right he does. Are you kidding me?

[Pat Godwin]

He's a made man.

[Chick McGee]

By the way, Are you acting like you not aware of the Lou Monte catalog?

[Tom Griswold]

I. I've never heard of this guy.

[Pat Godwin]

He had another song. Dominate. Dominatrix. The donkey.

The Donkey show.

[Tom Griswold]

The Donkey show. Donkey.

[Pat Godwin]

Say something dirty.

[Chick McGee]

I applaud your effort, boy. I saw. Way to go.

[Pat Godwin]

I saw.

[Chick McGee]

Don't ever be sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm glad it derailed the entire segment. Don't ever be so. Coming up. Coming up, we have. I don't know who. We have a surprise guest coming up.

[Chick McGee]

More of this.

Hey, it's Dominic.

[Pat Godwin]

What would you do if our surprise guest is l. I will be.

[Chick McGee]

I would scream Christmas miracle. And you. I'd run out. You never see me again.

[Tom Griswold]

Could you imagine?

[Chick McGee]

I'd lose my mind. I don't know why you guys are talking about me.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this guy still alive?

[Pat Godwin]

What are some of his other titles?

He's got to be 112 years old. Christmas at Our House.

[Tom Griswold]

Italian Jingle Bells, which.

[Chick McGee]

That sounds like.

[Tom Griswold]

That sounds like the setup to a joke.

[Pat Godwin]

I know what they sound like when.

[Chick McGee]

They go jing ding, ding.

And then they have.

[Tom Griswold]

Those could have been worse. They could have gone WP the leather. Are you happy now where we're taking a break.

[Chick McGee]

I'm so happy.

[Tom Griswold]

These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob.

[Chick McGee]

And Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you for ruining.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

At the SILAC Insurance news desk, Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Jessica Alsman is here.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's. There's Ace Cosby. Hello. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

And I believe we have a special guest joining us. It's our surprise guest, our Santa. Surprise. No way.

[Chick McGee]

David Rush here.

[Pat Godwin]

My goodness. You know, it's nice to finally meet you, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, David.

[Tom Griswold]

I was actually as much as fun as we make of you. David Rush, by the way, has the World record for holding world records. David Rush's son, Peter. Is it? Is it Peter?

[David Rush]

Yeah, Peter, my seven year old.

[Tom Griswold]

You and Peter set a world record. We were talking about yesterday with Hungry Hippos. I thought that was so cool. Can you tell us quickly about that one?

[David Rush]

Yeah, I heard you guys were saying, I don't even know my family, I break some record, but they're part of this.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we did that. Yeah.

[David Rush]

So my 7 year old, he's wanted to break a record for a while and he's like, what could I do, dad? And I'm like, I don't know. You're seven, you know you can do anything that you set your mind to. And I talk to students about the importance of having a growth mindset to pursue science, technology, engineering and math. And then I saw this Hungry Hungry Hippos one. I thought, you know what? This one might be one we could do. And he took the initiative. He's like, my friends got a set. Let's go over to their house, we'll practice. So we knocked on their door, practiced. And I'm like, I think with more practice we can do it. So we went to Target, bought our own set, practiced at home, and we officially broke the Guinness World Records title for the fastest time to clear Hungry Hungry Hippos team of two in 5.8 seconds.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Congratulations.

[Tom Griswold]

We do a regular feature on this show. We call it Stupid World Records. And some of them. I am your biggest fan, David, because I know you're a tremendous juggler, among other. If you had to go through your records, what takes the most manual dexterity because you've got a bunch of very complicated records, which solo, solo thing that you do takes the most skill?

[David Rush]

Probably the world's fastest juggling in terms of speed, dexterity, precision. It's the most juggling catches in one minute. And that was one of my moonshot records I set. And the first time I tried to break it, it was 422 catches in a minute. I currently hold the record at 586 catches in a minute. That's almost 10 per second.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you practice juggling every day?

[David Rush]

I wouldn't say every day, but I do practice juggling on a weekly basis. And everywhere I travel, I take my juggling balls with me. I was in Tokyo and China a couple weeks ago with the whole family and I'm out there juggling on the Great Wall.

[Pat Godwin]

Do you jug on the Great Wall? Do you juggle for hire?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[David Rush]

Not usually. I can, but my main job is I work in tech. I'm a senior product manager at a technology company making wireless routers. And that's my main job. Juggling doesn't pay as well. The keynote speaking to talk about, hey, how do you build a record breaking mindset in your corporation to achieve more and have huge stock gains that I get paid for a little bit more.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no. We're speaking with world record holder David Rush, and I have friends that are in, like, business business, which I don't understand at all, but they have like a thing on their computer. If some stock thing goes a certain way, said dings. Do you have something on your phone that if someone breaks one of your records, it dings so you can go back and fix it?

[David Rush]

I have zero notifications on my world records. The main way I find out is I actually watch a YouTube like Guinness publishes a video and it's got a record. And I'm like, wait a second, I used to hold that record. And then I have to be like, okay, I gotta go create an application to reclaim my record. And I hope you only feature half my records in your stupid world of records section. Because half of them are, like, just really silly. But they're fun to practice a lot of the time. Half of them, actually. Okay, they're all silly, but they're a lot of fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, they're great. I'm a huge. I am a huge fan. We're speaking with world record hurdle, David Rush. David, at this point in time, at this moment, how many records do you currently hold? Do you know?

[David Rush]

Okay, so that's a tough one to answer because it changes on a daily basis and you got to break it. There's a several month delay, often before Guinness improves it, and then somebody else could break it. And they don't necessarily get notifications. But I did just look this up yesterday. I'm currently at 198 records. And so my goal now is to hold 200, which is there's two other people in history who have ever held 200, and 198 is currently the most in the world.

[Pat Godwin]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have your eye on those two? Do you know which ones you want to do?

[David Rush]

So, yeah. So one of them is the most consecutive stairs climbed while juggling. It's a very practical skill. So you don't, you know, you don't want to trip when you're going up and down stairs.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[David Rush]

The current record, it's a little over 2,000 stairs. The problem is there's no building in Idaho tall enough. So you obviously got to go up.

[Tom Griswold]

And down a bunch of times.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Can you do those rolling stairs like at the gym? Could you.

[Pat Godwin]

Do we have to go to Pachu Michu or whatever?

[Tom Griswold]

David Rush.

[David Rush]

I train on the StairMaster. Absolutely. But the more difficult part is actually descending the stairs while juggling. But those stairs don't count for the.

[Pat Godwin]

Record.

To be ascending.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder what is the longest continuous staircase in the world? Do you know?

[David Rush]

I don't, but I bet Guinness would have that somewhere.

[Pat Godwin]

Let me see if I can look it up.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because that'd be the place to go. Because you do do a lot of international stuff. Because whenever we talk about your records, I'll often it'll be, here's David Rush in Spain on some TV show doing this stuff. And you've traveled all over the world for your records. Have you ever tried to do one on one of these TV shows that didn't work out? Or do you try to do two or three? So one of them at least goes no.

[David Rush]

In fact, my very first time ever on TV, it was the Today show in 2016, and it's my first time ever on national TV. And for all I know, the last time ever. And I was trying to break the record for the fastest blindfolded juggling. And I got so nervous, I just dropped the balls multiple times, went home devastated. And, and it was literally three years before I had another shot at another TV appearance. So it felt like a failure. Like the biggest shot of my life. I failed. And for three years I was like, this is devastating.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I, I have a, an idea for a joke for you. You've got a nice family. And do you do a family holiday card?

[David Rush]

Oh, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

I was, I was thinking you could do one that would be a very traditional shot of the family. Everyone would look totally normal. Except you would have a GoPro on your head. Because every time I look at you on these world records, you're almost always wearing a GoPro.

[David Rush]

Oh, my goodness. Yeah. So when My wife loves to travel, and so we travel all over the world. In February, my seven and now nine year old boys finished visiting all 63 US national parks.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[David Rush]

And so my wife creates this newsletter of all the places we've traveled throughout the year. And I juggle every place we go. And I tell you, on that Christmas newsletter, there is not a single juggling photo.

[Pat Godwin]

Jealous.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I know that your friend Hollywood Hannon.

Did he move to Michigan?

[David Rush]

Oh, my goodness. It's terrible. Yes, we text every day, but he moved to Michigan. We did have a reunion in London in May on the Fox TV show 99 to Beat, where we were competing for a million bucks. I actually turned the show down initially. Said, hey, I've got too many other stuff going on. But then he said he was going. So we went and filmed the show in London. So we got some time together there, where we re broke the record for the most fist bumps in 30 seconds.

[Tom Griswold]

We did that story, and I was very nostalgic. Oh, they're. They're. We were singing. We're singing Reunited now. You're still living in Boise. Boise, Idaho, Is that correct?

[David Rush]

Yep. Yep, I'm in Boise.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you a skier?

[David Rush]

I do love to ski. However, my wife doesn't like the cold. And so to keep the family together for the time off from breaking records, I don't usually get to ski that much.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now I remember there was a thing last year where you made kind of a. Or this year you made kind of a big deal about the fact that you're gonna be doing less world record stuff cause you have a real job. Does your new boss understand that this is part of the appeal of you as an employee is having these cool records?

[David Rush]

So I went to a conference a few months ago, and I was presenting all the technical aspects of the routers and the speeds and feeds of the wireless nonsense. And the CEO of the host of the conference is like, did this digi company hire you because you're a technical product manager with an engineering degree from MIT or as a publicity stunt? And I took that back to my boss and my boss's boss, and I asked them point blank, like, why did you hire me? And the answer was yes.

[Tom Griswold]

David Rush is our guest. He is the world record holder for world records. Many of them take a lot of. A lot of work. Most of them take a lot of work, but a lot of skill. Do you have any of the records for distance running while juggling?

[David Rush]

Yes, I do. In fact, that was one of my other moonshot ones, was the furthest distance traveled on foot while juggling. And the rules are you have to be juggling the entire time. You have to be moving forward the entire time. But the one that I really tried to get Guinness to revoke, but they wouldn't do it, is they said, nobody can feed you food or water. And I'm like, I can only run about 15 miles without food or water. In fact, this morning I ran 13.1 without food or water already. And. But after about 15 miles, I need a drink. And so I had to wear, you know, the backpack with, like, camelback backpack with the hose in my mouth the entire time. And I made it 118 laps around the local high school track, 29 miles in about five and a half hours before I dropped a ball, ending the attempt.

[Chick McGee]

Man.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, do you have a case for juggling balls like bowling bag?

[David Rush]

I have several actually.

[Tom Griswold]

And.

Are there specific. Are they like hacky sacks or are they like tennis balls? What do you like to juggle the most?

[David Rush]

No, they're purpose built juggling balls. My preferred brand is G balls. For the normal stage production, I do E8 pros. And for speed juggling, they're NA pros, but they're all specifically designed professional juggling ball.

[Tom Griswold]

That's hilarious to me. I guess every gig, every gig has its thing. This is like talking to our old producer dean about guitars. Well, the Gibson sg. Oh, you've got the GX mine. Juggling balls. That is so cool. Well, David, we are huge fans and I'm glad that you take take it in stride that usually we make fun of what you're doing, but you're also laughing at yourself.

[David Rush]

You can't be in this business.

[Tom Griswold]

But also. And there's a purpose behind this, which you mentioned, you're trying to get young people to get into science and technology and not just spend time staring at their phone looking at dumb cat videos.

[David Rush]

Yeah. And trying to build this growth mindset. I've been keynote speaking for about 15 years and I would talk about my story of not being smart enough to get into the Idaho public Education system gifted program, but through hard work was eventually admitted to MIT where I got my electrical engineering degree. And I would go tell students this, but I'm like, hey, if you struggle at science or fail a math test, you can still become an engineer. If you have a growth mindset and understand that grit that's not giving up when things get hard is the number one predictor of success. And I'm like, well, how do I make this a more tangible example? And that's when I got into breaking Guinness World records. Started with one one, became two, became 200. And then obviously it's an obsession that's taken over my life, but I love it. It's a lot of fun. And I get my family and I've broken records with probably almost 100 different friends at this point. Point.

[Tom Griswold]

That's so cool. David Rush, thank you so much for your time. One last question. I remember when Bob Beamon broke the broad jump, the long jump record. Excuse me. They said no one will ever do it. Which record of yours? Do you think is the least likely to ever be broken?

[David Rush]

Well, that's a tough one. The hardest record I've ever broken is the longest duration juggling at 13 hours and 10 minutes of continuous juggling. But I think that one definitely has a chance of being broken. I think the other important, like I ranked my records easy, medium hard, impossible, Easy as somebody else in this room can probably do it. Impossible is may. May never be broken. Is the possibly the fastest mile run while juggling blindfolded. And I did that in 7 minutes, 54 seconds.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, did you do that around a track or was it a. Just running straight on a desert or something?

[David Rush]

It was. It was straight. Straight down a big, wide desert road. I had runners on either side of me as guides, people behind me telling me, where am I in. In the street. And I did, and I did drop the balls 10 times. And when you drop a ball, you have to take the blindfold off, go back to where you dropped it, put the blindfold back on, and then restart. And so I was running maybe around 615 mile pace.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, that's great. Well, David, what a great pleasure. Thank you so much for taking the time.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

We're big fans.

[Chick McGee]

We'll keep.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're probably asking Lou. Who's Lou Monty?

He made the famous Christmas song.

[Tom Griswold]

It made the list of Dominic.

[Tom Griswold]

The list of the most annoying.

Released in 1960.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's right up your alley.

[Chick McGee]

That's much more current than I would have thought.

[Tom Griswold]

I had never heard it until today, but there's a history to the song which I will pass along. But right now, I believe we have the lovely Ally Breen.

[Chick McGee]

There she is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, from New York City.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

Allie is four eyes. Ally's wearing her nice glasses.

[Pat Godwin]

Nerd.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Go do some math or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Ally, do you. Are those for reading? Those reading glasses?

[Ali Breen]

They are reading glasses, yeah. But I'm starting to have to wear them more and more often, so they might start to Be all the time glasses soon.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, we can fix you up. We can get your eyes zapped for you. Get rid of those things.

[Christy Lee]

There's nothing wrong with your glasses. You look lovely.

[Tom Griswold]

Allie Breena, she's a very fine stand up comedian. She's also the. The host of a show we call Sexy Time in which you, the listeners, send Ally your love troubles. And we helped. We try to fix them. And the way to do that is you find her on social media at A L L I B R E E N. Ms. Breen, please, what have you got for us?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, I've been dating a girl for about two months and I thought we were getting serious, but I stayed over her house last weekend and when I used the bathroom, I saw a use. Used condom in the trash can. It got weird and I said I had to go and I left kind of abruptly and we haven't talked since. I think what bothers me most is that I haven't wanted to sleep with other people since I met her, but she clearly has. Do people have that we are exclusive conversation or does it just naturally happen these days?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I think people mostly talk about it.

[Chick McGee]

Right. Well, ideally, I think it's kind of unspoken, but yeah. They would have a meeting, I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if it was a.

[Chick McGee]

You have a representative and they have a representative.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And I wonder if it was a plant.

[Pat Godwin]

To try to get what?

[Ali Breen]

To see if he would react.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, in that case, run.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, if that's the case, get the.

[Tom Griswold]

Hell out of it. Well, I think since most of it's.

[Chick McGee]

A little involved, most of these letters.

[Tom Griswold]

Usually involve one party that's a psycho.

[Chick McGee]

Let's.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's just get right to it.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I knew you loved me when you didn't fall for that six part con.

Was unbelievable.

[Ali Breen]

That's a good excuse if it's not a con, though, to say, oh, I was just testing you, that's not a real condom. So, yeah, you know, you passed.

[Tom Griswold]

So. So it was in her wastebasket.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. In the bathroom.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And you're not a. That's not a euphemism for something.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Pat Godwin]

Right. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Gave it in the old wastebasket, Tim. Okay. You know what I'm saying?

[Pat Godwin]

You know this guy, though. I. Sir, I think you need to move on. Don't. Don't try talking to this chick again. If you. You clearly need a very monogamous.

Or.

[Christy Lee]

Somebody who spells it out right at the beginning.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you think it was odd that she was charging you 300.

[Pat Godwin]

Was that weird?

[Chick McGee]

You notice the mom that the her. The lady of the house wasn't there? Actually her mom.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, let's move on. Ali Breen is our guest and the show was sexy time. And what have you got?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, My brother is good friends with my ex boyfriend and he cheated on me multiple times and treated me very badly. I want him to stop being friends with him but he says he doesn't want to get involved in my drama. They were actually friends first. If the tables returned, I would stop being friends with his ex. Shouldn't family come first?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, I don't know. That's a tough one.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I think that's.

[Ali Breen]

It's like the well bros before hoes. But it's like a family situation where that should be reversed.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm with you, chick. This is not as simple as it seems.

[Christy Lee]

Need to know how bad you were treated.

[Tom Griswold]

Like if you're a beaten. Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

That would probably be a reason for.

[Chick McGee]

Him not to want to hang out with him.

[Christy Lee]

We know how bad my sister physically.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

Yeah, I, I, I don't know.

Chick.

I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

You see the best idol know in.

[Chick McGee]

The history of the world.

[Pat Godwin]

I call our.

[Ali Breen]

We broke Tom. We finally did it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we did.

[Tom Griswold]

This guy was his buddy. Yeah. The whole thing is I can't comment.

[Chick McGee]

On brother sister relationships but I would think ideally you would back your sister. I would think you.

[Ali Breen]

I know, I know.

[Pat Godwin]

First though I feel like I would as well. But I know you are buddies first.

[Tom Griswold]

But you know what happened? At what level was this so called treating her badly? Was it? Yeah. Ghosting.

On her.

[Chick McGee]

Unless of course she was beaten. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. There's a line.

[Pat Godwin]

And what kind of it did.

[Tom Griswold]

I tried to reel it in.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's no reeling.

[Ali Breen]

Probably everyone should stop being friends with this guy.

[Pat Godwin]

Is there? I mean and also did your brother ever warn you like hey, you can date him but I'm telling you he's a.

[Christy Lee]

Please.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You didn't listen.

[Ali Breen]

That's a good point, but we don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's get back to funny letters. Do you have one about, about your, about your boyfriend making you keep your glasses on in bed? Ally. Something like that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I, I think, I think Tom just revealed a couple things there.

You like the, the glasses on there, buddy?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm just asking.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure. Yeah, that came out of nowhere.

[Tom Griswold]

We could go around the horn, but I mean what for you glasses wearers. Christy, do you keep your glasses on at night?

[Christy Lee]

No, I Don't have to wear them now. I only wear them because a chick.

[Chick McGee]

What are you talking about?

[Christy Lee]

You say I have creepy dogs.

[Chick McGee]

You don't wear them. You do, but I've gotten over with. Because I'm a good co worker.

[Pat Godwin]

I keep mine on for certain things. Take them off for other things.

[Christy Lee]

I've never. I've never worn them in the bedroom.

[Chick McGee]

When I wore glasses, I kept them on. I like to take a look every now and then.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

For some of those things. Josh, do you need actual goggles or can you go with regular glasses?

[Pat Godwin]

Some of those things. Goggles would help.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't want pink.

[Ali Breen]

I feel like it's a good move.

[Chick McGee]

At certain points sometimes. You know what, Josh? Sometimes you like a receipt. Something tangible.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice tag. Thank you. Don't you love it when Josh knows where I'm going? Allie Breen is our guest. Let's get to another letter, shall we?

[Ali Breen]

I think you should strategically be able to do stuff like this in the bedroom while you are.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Lower them down.

[Pat Godwin]

Lower them to the end of your nose.

[Tom Griswold]

You'd be a candidate for the librarian thing.

If you had on a more modest. A more modest shirt. Right. Now have your hair up in a bun and then pull out and flip it like this.

[Chick McGee]

Don't say pull out.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

What have we got? Allie.

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, I just found out my wife hooked up with one of my friends when we were on a break the first year that we were dating. We've now been married for 29 years, but I still can't get over this. She said we should go to therapy. I don't really want to. I don't want to spend time there, but I don't want to. I don't know what to do now. I'm looking back over our whole marriage and thinking everything is a lie. His wife didn't know either.

[Chick McGee]

We've been married for 29 years. We got nine kids.

[Tom Griswold]

There's more.

[Chick McGee]

Everything's a lie.

[Ali Breen]

His wife. The friend's wife doesn't know either. So they've both had this intimate secret they kept from us. What would you guys do?

[Pat Godwin]

I'd go to therapy. And also, I'm a big. You. You already said it. You were on a break. And I don't want to get all Ross and Rachel here. But that's not. You weren't. You were on a break.

[Christy Lee]

That's why you have a break. To figure it out.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And actually, maybe. And a therapist could maybe bring you back down to earth.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly. Go to therapy.

[Tom Griswold]

You could join the rest of us.

Here on earth that can get it. Get over it.

[Pat Godwin]

Obviously, you can't complain about the problem and then not want to do the thing that might solve it. And that's go to therapy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Well, obviously you have to crisscross.

[Pat Godwin]

He gets an automatic hall pass.

[Tom Griswold]

You're suggesting that he bang the other wife. Yes. Okay, I see your logic there.

[Chick McGee]

Absolutely. 29 years is just a kiss in the afternoon to me.

[Tom Griswold]

We are speaking with comedian Ali Breen. A L L I B R E E N. I spell it out because you can reach Ali on your favorite social media platform. She is also in the world of as in a different name. It's a L L I B. You can be found in a different world. Are you doing anything like sexy Santa hats or something?

[Chick McGee]

Well, you are in drive ever since you saw her in these glasses. Will you calm down?

[Ali Breen]

We know what Tom went to.

[Chick McGee]

I will.

[Ali Breen]

I'll do something for the holiday season.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm talking about only fans. And you could do the little elf suit or something.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, an elf suit and those glasses and this in the background.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ali Breen]

Something with that now?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we have time for one more. Ali, what have you got?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie. Oh, okay. Dear Allie, my wife just started living a healthier lifestyle and is going to the gym and eating better. The problem is she cooks all of our dinners and now everything she cooks has organic stuff in it and oat milk and whatever other health trend she sees fit. But I didn't sign up for this and we've been fighting about it because she said she's trying to increase both of our longevity. I'd rather enjoy life and take my chances. How do I get to eat the stuff I like?

[Christy Lee]

Cook it yourself?

[Ali Breen]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

My God, I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

Secret meals.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I do. I hide.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, Rent it.

[Chick McGee]

Possibly fashion some sort of hat as a bowl.

You know? What's going on? Oh, I'm just. Just wearing my hat.

Stuff like that.

[Tom Griswold]

First, first go to your lawyer, make a will so that she can inherit the stuff because you're going to be eating crappy food and drop dead. That way she'll.

[Chick McGee]

She can.

[Tom Griswold]

She can spend her inheritance at Whole Foods.

Yeah, no. Hey, maybe go to lunch.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, just eat out on your own on lunchtime or something.

[Pat Godwin]

You can also Google healthy recipes, see what might look good to you and say, hey, would you mind making this it so smart.

[Chick McGee]

I think Josh will know that it's.

[Ali Breen]

Just in his head that whatever is Healthy. He just does automatically just won't eat vegetables. He just has that in his head.

[Pat Godwin]

Probably tastes pretty good, actually.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, if you eat something. If you eat something specifically, expertly, and you take some time, she'll let you eat whatever you want. Okay? Am I right on this?

[Pat Godwin]

That's exactly right.

[Chick McGee]

She'll keep her mouth shut. See, Ally's on board. You know what I mean?

[Christy Lee]

I know where you're coming from.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? You know what I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

You know that old joke that might.

[Ali Breen]

Be the best advice we've ever given.

[Chick McGee]

You better have some more of that wheat germ. Oh, my God. I don't care.

[Tom Griswold]

Why do you. Why do you call this dish a black bowling ball? Funny you'd ask.

[Christy Lee]

I don't even get that.

[Chick McGee]

Because it takes a bowling ball. Where'd you. If you had to, you could eat a bowling ball.

[Tom Griswold]

So sorry, Ally. I'm breaking the rules. We're going to do one more.

[Chick McGee]

We have to end up baby.

[Tom Griswold]

And on a positive note.

[Ali Breen]

Absolutely. Dear Allie, I'm married, but I enjoy being flirty, which has always been enough to keep me from cheating.

[Chick McGee]

Lately.

[Ali Breen]

A waitress at my country club is flirting back.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Ali Breen]

Things as step further, but it would really be sitting where I eat, so to speak. My wife never comes to the club, so we do, in fact, less and less stuff together. I don't know if my wife would even mind at this point if I cheated, but I guess I'm more worried that this could end badly and I wouldn't be able to stay at my country club.

[Pat Godwin]

That's what you're worried?

[Tom Griswold]

This is. This is taken on. Wow. Dear Mr. Howell.

I say, first of.

[Christy Lee]

All, she will be upset if you cheat.

[Pat Godwin]

We don't know, she might love it. Do it. Your wife wants you to.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? You won't know until it happens.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, this reminds me of that old joke about the golfer and the lady wants to know. Hey. Oh, if I die and you get. I want you to get remarried, but will you. Will you let her drive my car? Oh, no, honey, I'll trade your car and we'll get her something different. Then it goes down the line, a bunch of stuff. And then. What about my golf clubs? Oh, no, sweetie, she's a lefty.

This is not going to end well, okay?

[Chick McGee]

It's already a mess enough that the thing he's worried about is his country club membership.

[Pat Godwin]

But you know what? Sounds like you're kind of living the high life there.

[Christy Lee]

Enjoy your flirting.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like a pretty nice club, really.

[Christy Lee]

She's flirting for tips too, so. Oh, yeah, good point.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Ali Breen]

Jess is right. That's the mistake a guy will make if a girl waitress is just being nice. They're like, oh, she wants me. Yeah, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Allie, were you ever a waitress?

[Ali Breen]

Oh, yeah, definitely. I was a hostess.

[Chick McGee]

Were you ever.

[Ali Breen]

My senior year of high school. And a waitress in college.

[Chick McGee]

Ever a waitress? And wearing those glasses, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

What kind of restaurant were you? What kind of restaurant were you a waitress?

[Ali Breen]

Italian. An Italian restaurant called Ciro's. I don't think it exists anymore.

[Chick McGee]

Italian.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah. It was fun. It was, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, well, you know. Do you know who their. Do you know who their most famous guest at Siros was? Who every Christmas time they would have.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. L. Monty would come.

[Tom Griswold]

Would come in and sing the Christmas donkey song.

[Chick McGee]

No one would be. No one would be seated when he tell his Italian Christmas light joke. Or is it Jingle bell, jingle bell.

Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you working this weekend in the city?

[Ali Breen]

I am in the city this weekend. I will be at the Comedy Village and then Gotham.

[Christy Lee]

Do you put up a Christmas tree, Ally?

[Ali Breen]

No, but I think I'm gonna get a cat Christmas tree. They have, like, the cat scratchers that are recently built as a Christmas tree. I think that's gonna be it all right this year.

[Tom Griswold]

Are your cats in the apartment with you? I don't see them. Oh, there we go.

[Christy Lee]

There's one getting big right next to me.

[Ali Breen]

Hey, buddy. I know. He's so sweet. He's gonna try desperately to get away.

[Chick McGee]

You're gonna wake up and your carotid is gonna be just bleeding all over your bed. That cat's gonna take your whole neck out.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thanks.

[Ali Breen]

Thanks, guys. See Ali. See you next week.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, those are some good letters.

[Chick McGee]

What about my country club membership?

[Pat Godwin]

At this point, I don't even think my wife would mind if I.

[Tom Griswold]

See.

[Chick McGee]

As long as I don't. I love you.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what.

At least he's not beating her as it was the four letters prior.

[Christy Lee]

Well, if she finds you cheating, she'll have grounds for divorce. So she probably wouldn't be upset because she'll get half your money. There you go.

I did. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Let you know that I'm Chick McGee at the Prize Pick Sports Dash desk. And hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

And Notre Dame is not going to be in a bowl game? No. They didn't get asked to the big dance, so they're done.

[Christy Lee]

I wasn't aware you were a Notre Dame fan.

[Pat Godwin]

Almost went there.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Oh, well, well, well.

[Tom Griswold]

So you and Chick. Chick almost went to Ohio State.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody almost do anything?

[Pat Godwin]

I almost went to Harvard.

[Chick McGee]

I almost. I almost killed everyone I work with. Does that count?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, now, thank you for bringing to my attention, but not anymore.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a good co worker.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you for bringing to my attention Lou Monte's work, Dominic the Donkey.

[Chick McGee]

I know what you're talking about.

Don't you love the E haw part?

[Pat Godwin]

I do.

[Tom Griswold]

Now you've done some recording.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe Alan and Pat could answer this. Is that Lou on a separate take doing the hee haw he haw?

[Pat Godwin]

I hope so.

[Chick McGee]

I would think so.

[Pat Godwin]

But that's a good. Because, I mean, it could be just.

[Tom Griswold]

A guy or is that a session guy?

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd have to ask Alan, who we call. I need. I need a donkey guy. What do you recommend? I. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

He also has Pepino, the Italian Mouse.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, his big hit.

[Pat Godwin]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

This was his big hit. This guy was an Italian American singer, Of course, from New Jersey.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he was. He was connected as the day is long.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, he did not write the song. Dominic the Donkey.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. Wait a minute. What do you mean, yeah, yeah, he did. Did he wrote it?

[Pat Godwin]

Put his name down.

[Chick McGee]

Write his name.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, what's interesting?

[Chick McGee]

His name or your brains are on the contract.

[Tom Griswold]

I've never heard this name one of the writer. It's three writers. Sam Salzberg, Ray Allen and Wandra. W A N D R A. Wandra Merrill. That's a beautiful.

[Chick McGee]

I would have given anything if you would have said it was three writers. Lamont, Dozier and Holland.

They also wrote all the Temptation Songs.

[Pat Godwin]

What's his biggest hit?

[Tom Griswold]

That's it.

[Chick McGee]

Dominic the Donkey.

[Pat Godwin]

That was the biggest hit?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

And what was the song?

I got it. Squeak, squeak.

[Tom Griswold]

Squeak. This guy. It's. When it was released in 1960, it was not a major national hit.

[Chick McGee]

That doesn't sound like a hit to me.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a hit play. Has had a big revival rival. It gained cult status in the early 2000s.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

In 2011, it hit the UK singles chart, getting up to number five.

[Chick McGee]

Dominic the Donkey.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I think we can do better than that here in the good old U.S. of A.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

In any event, there you go.

[Chick McGee]

What happens when you go online and look up. Does he have a website or anything?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I just. I've gone to a couple different sources. I. It.

[Chick McGee]

I'm looking for something to crash is my. My hope.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

The photograph of him, as Christy pointed out, you could have shown me 25 photographs and I would have said, oh, yeah, there he is. He's got that look. It's kind of like Lawrence Welk. It's black and white meets a Heavy Joe Pesci.

[Christy Lee]

No, he's kind of.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, I. I mean, he's not very heavy. Yeah, but he. But he has that Pesci.

[Tom Griswold]

He's got that perfect hair. Yeah, a lot of. Of lot of hair tonic in it, it looks like.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, you want a song?

[Tom Griswold]

I got a song. You guys like the Smell of Vitalis?

[Chick McGee]

It's a nice studio. Shame if something happened to him.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you for enlightening me.

[Chick McGee]

That fire. That fire was yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe. Maybe.

[Christy Lee]

Listen, the best employee ever.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the lyrics. Ching, ching, ching, ching, ching.

[Chick McGee]

And then la, la, la. He wrote that.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that offensive in Spanish? It is now.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think. Ching. Not in Spanish.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that the first half of. Never mind.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, chinga to. Yeah, I might be.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.
