[Chick]

A lot of questions answered there.

[Christy]

Right? It's the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom]

Cookies, I think, is the key. Oh, boy, cookies and milk.

[Christy]

Christy lee at the Silac news desk.

[Josh]

Hello.

[Christy]

There's Pat Godwin. Josh Arnold here.

[Chick]

Mr.

[Christy]

The I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom]

Hello, Chick.

[Christy]

I don't know how you're sitting here in your short sleeve golf shirt. You're making me cold. Are you not cold? I don't know, man. All right. You get that way sometimes.

[Tom]

Yeah, I, I.

[Josh]

He has a heater over there. Don't let him fool you.

[Tom]

Well, it's not on right now, but.

[Christy]

No, we've solved a mystery. Yesterday we've been hearing some kind of ringing, a bell or something in our headphones. And it turned out it was Tom's heater all this time. And he, of course, was looking around with us. What the hell is that noise?

[Chick]

What could that be?

[Tom]

Isn't one of the Many frequencies I'm missing.

[Christy]

I can. You're right. I can barely hear it. Yeah, but I.

[Tom]

It's not on.

[Christy]

No.

[Tom]

So if you're hearing it now.

[Christy]

No, I'm not.

[Chick]

No, we're not.

[Christy]

No, we're not. It sounded like ice being swished around in a metal can is what it sounded like. The clang, clang, clang. But it wasn't. It was this heater.

[Tom]

So now hang on a second. Testing.

[Christy]

Hello, everybody.

[Tom]

Do it.

[Christy]

Make it appear normal.

[Chick]

All of us. Early morning.

[Tom]

I've been up for three hours. Why is it not working now? This is a new trend. I'm going to have a chance to use my high school Spanish right now.

[Chick]

Really?

[Christy]

Oh, bueno.

[Tom]

That was a complete waste of my life. I believe our winner for week 15 in the Bob and Tom Pigskin picks competition. I'm assuming it's Edward Bonilla.

[Christy]

I believe the L's. Yeah, two L's. I believe it's just like Bobby Bonilla. Yes, I think it is Bonilla, but you never know.

[Tom]

No, this guy is from a place called Chick. Stand by for another Buckeye.

[Christy]

I'm standing by.

[Tom]

Struthers, Ohio.

[Christy]

Never heard of it. I have no idea. I'm searching it.

[Tom]

Nor have I.

[Christy]

But very few places in Ohio I have not heard of.

[Tom]

If you know Edward Bonilla, tell him. Guess what? He's our winner. He wins a $500 gift certificate from Stephen Singer jewelers. All right. He got 16 of 16 games correct in the Bob and Tom Pigskin picks competition.

[Josh]

That's perfect.

[Christy]

Oh, okay. It's up near Youngstown. Just south of Youngstown.

[Tom]

Okay. There's a 13 way tie for first place. Mr. Bonilla beat the tiebreakers closest to the correct score of that Atlanta versus Las Vegas game. And by the way, we do have Atlanta Falcon News coming up.

[Christy]

Yes, we do. Those of you who listen to the show for a long time, Tom, every now and then Will will dip his toe into the sports talk world and he'll get. He'll get caught up in a certain story. And today it's the benching of Kirk Cousins for.

[Tom]

Only because it reminds me of Michael Penix.

[Christy]

And it is Penix. It's not Phoenix.

[Tom]

There's two great jokes there.

[Josh]

Oh yeah.

[Christy]

And he. So he's. It's a big. It's not. It is a big story because it's coming late in the year, which is. Isn't normal for benching a veteran quarterback. But the Falcons need to do something so they've benched their Falcon quarterback to.

[Josh]

The Raiders A Falcon.

[Christy]

No. Falcons beat the Raiders.

[Josh]

That's what I thought.

[Christy]

But he threw an interception and only had 112 yards.

[Tom]

But that isn't the real problem is the so called spread chick. Do you want to explain what happened?

[Christy]

I'd rather not. All right. I had. What did I have?

[Tom]

Did you have five and a half? Yeah, I had six.

[Christy]

I had six. I had Vegas plus the six. And Vegas they win 15 to nine, 10.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Anyway, the spread I did not get the push because they had an extra point blocked. Ah, so it cost me after all. After all the whole weekend I had a parlay and a bird cage and the whole thing, it cost me $38,000.

[Josh]

Sorry.

[Christy]

That is tough. It's a tough weekend. Yeah, it's tough to have to sit here.

[Tom]

So congratulations to Edward. Once again know Edward. Tell him hey. Wake him up. Tell them hey. We're hope to talk to him tomorrow. And you can be a winner for week 16 which begins tomorrow evening. So you got plenty of time. Just go to bobandtom.com contest and pick the winners and you can get that beautiful gift certificate from Steven Singer jewelers.

[Christy]

Ladies, Struthers, Ohio has a website.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Struthers quote the city with heart in the heart of it all. And they're announcing a new dog park in Struthers.

[Chick]

All right, exciting news.

[Christy]

And you and Struthers also it says you'll. How do they put this? You'll yule love the holidays in Struthers.

[Tom]

All right, that's sweet.

[Christy]

What do you think of that?

[Tom]

Sounds like the location of a Hallmark movie.

[Christy]

It could. It could very well be. And the new dog park. That could be their meet cute. They have one guy, the guy has a dog and a girl has a dog or another guy has a dog and they meet in.

[Chick]

There are some good animal related ones.

[Tom]

You can have like a guy with a reindeer at the dog park. You know, something weird that's adding the cute to the meet cute.

[Christy]

Oh, and the guy.

[Josh]

Dogs would go nuts if there were a ra.

[Christy]

The guy thinks the reindeer is a dog. Is that.

[Tom]

That'd be okay.

[Christy]

Is that what you're thinking?

[Tom]

Or he's tra. He's getting the reindeer ready for a nativity scene. And then someone goes, hey man, there's not supposed to be a reindeer in a nativity scene. He goes, what's wrong with you?

[Chick]

One of my favorite Hallmark movies. There's a reindeer farm.

[Tom]

Really?

[Chick]

Yeah. It's called Northern Lights of Christmas. Very good. Williams.

[Tom]

You ever been up close to a reindeer?

[Chick]

I have.

[Pat]

Have Not.

[Chick]

No, I have. Up in Alaska. Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah, there was one. They were walking down the streets of Vail, Colorado one day.

[Chick]

Naturally.

[Tom]

Yeah. All dressed up. You know, there's a guy, he's on a. What do you call. What do you call a horse leash?

[Josh]

A rain.

[Tom]

I don't know.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Tether of some sort. Sorry, I'm not a horse person. I admire those who are, however.

[Chick]

Wow.

[Tom]

Yeah, it was really cool.

[Chick]

That is cool.

[Tom]

And he had all kinds of bells and really cool stuff.

[Christy]

Wasn't the rumor that always girls who like horses were, you know, ready to party? Is that right?

[Chick]

Typically size? Oh, absolutely.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Yeah. They're riding the horse, you know, that's all they're doing. And I don't know how, by the way, who came up with it and why did women go along with it for so long? They ride sidesaddle, it seems incredibly.

[Josh]

Wearing a skirt.

[Tom]

No one does that anymore.

[Chick]

No.

[Christy]

Even if you're wearing a skirt, you don't ride sides, do you?

[Chick]

No, they have some competitions. Side settle competitions.

[Christy]

I would. Thank you.

[Chick]

I don't know.

[Christy]

I don't know. I think it's dangerous.

[Chick]

Seems like it seems like a good competition.

[Tom]

Kind of a Victorian idea that the woman wouldn't want to spread.

[Chick]

Right.

[Tom]

Wow.

[Christy]

Were you trying to flower that up a little bit before you went?

[Josh]

No, I just could lose their flowers.

[Chick]

And therefore worth less.

[Josh]

Right.

[Chick]

You know, wasn't that.

[Tom]

You know, I was. I always have found it humorous that they have something. In fact, just yesterday I was standing at the grocery store looking for something called champagne vinegar, whatever the hell that is. I never did find it and brand of douche.

[Josh]

That's why I buy the red wine vinegar and the white wine.

[Chick]

Usually for people that are having affairs.

[Tom]

Oh, okay.

[Christy]

No, no, it's a douche I'm using.

[Tom]

Oh, really? It comes in bubbles like they play that Lawrence Welk theme. The champagne of bottled douche comes in.

[Chick]

Bubbles like Michael Jackson.

[Christy]

Hang on a second.

[Tom]

Now I'm losing my place. Oh, God.

[Josh]

It's in the salad dressing aisle for the next.

[Tom]

So anyways, they've got. They've got extra virgin olive oil.

[Josh]

Sure.

[Tom]

Extra virgin. So that means. That means when the olive oil was a teenage girl, she didn't have a bicycle.

[Josh]

Or did you mean sticks?

[Christy]

Why did the Popeye people. They came out with. They came out with spinach. Popeye spinach. That wasn't. Why didn't they come out with olive oil? Olive oil. Why didn't they do that?

[Chick]

They did miss that.

[Christy]

Seemed like they missed the boat on that.

[Chick]

Boy, did they ever.

[Tom]

Worst cartoon of all time. No, no. But not as bad as Felix the Cat.

[Josh]

I think back in the day, olive oil wasn't as popular for olive oil back. Did you ever have olive oil in your house?

[Chick]

No.

[Josh]

No.

[Christy]

Well, no, but I was.

[Tom]

We were Americans. We had Butter Christie.

[Christy]

I was 100. White trash, though.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

Crisco, right?

[Christy]

Canola. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.

[Chick]

Olive oil did have a huge.

[Tom]

Popeye.

[Christy]

Popeye had some hidden gems. Him mumbling and rumors of what he was saying.

[Tom]

That's about it. Give me Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck any day.

[Josh]

Give me the Jetsons. I watched him. They got Astro in the episode last night.

[Chick]

How sweet.

[Christy]

Trouthouse, right?

[Josh]

Pardon?

[Christy]

Trouthaz. Yeah, yeah, that was. That was the dog on Jetson's first name. Trout.

[Josh]

Astro.

[Tom]

Now, coming up, we have a live Nativity gone wr and more.

[Chick]

Oh, no.

[Tom]

And some other very exciting stuff coming up.

[Christy]

You want to hear more about Strothers? Are we done with that?

[Tom]

No, we'll come back with it. Okay. Looking forward to that. Right now, I want to congratulate Edward Bonilla from Struthers, Ohio.

And we talked to Tim Wilson. He was also a big fan of Strother Martin. And he posited what if Strother Martin were singing Stairway to Heaven? So, for those of you familiar with Mr. Martin, you'll enjoy this. Good.

[Chick]

That we played the first part.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah. Except with the sad soft music taking virtually all of the comedy out of the. Plus, a band I can't stand. No, no, no. You missed it.

[Chick]

Plus.

[Christy]

Plus, a band I can't stand.

[Tom]

What's not. Here we go.

[Chick]

Here we go. We said that was the Allman Brothers. Oh, my God. No matter what that song was, he would have liked that song.

[Christy]

And remember what he told me?

[Tom]

They had a couple dogs.

[Christy]

Remember what he told me after. He's in this mood now. Remember what he told me yesterday morning? Why don't you just go home?

[Chick]

That was the opening. What I'm saying, if we. Nobody. You would have never known that was Guns N Roses if we hadn't said it. That song. That doesn't sound like that.

[Tom]

No, but it's lovely. But it. It. It took all its. It's.

[Christy]

It didn't take anything out of it because there's nothing there.

[Chick]

Go ahead and push the melody here. It's one of the saddest.

[Christy]

You're thinking too much.

[Josh]

It's the holidays. Can't we all just shut up?

[Chick]

Here we go.

[Tom]

Could we have. Just out of respect for our good friend Tim, Here we go, ladies and.

[Christy]

Gentlemen, Strother Martin sings Led Zeppelin.

[Chick]

There's a lady who's sure that all that letters is gold and she's buying a stairwell to heaven.

[Christy]

When she gets.

[Chick]

There she knows that if the stars.

[Tom]

Are closed.

[Chick]

With a word she can get what she came for or she's.

[Tom]

Gonna spend the night in a box.

[Christy]

Now, this can be a good song or a bad song. It's entirely up to you.

[Chick]

What we have here is failure to communicate.

[Tom]

Thank you very much. Tim Wilson. One of the. One of the great lines of all time in any movie. What we have here is failure to communicate. Strother Martin spoke those words. And Strothers, Ohio, of course, the birthplace of Strother Martin and of Edward Bonilla, our week 15 winner. Don't forget to get yourself registered for week 16. Go to bombandtop.com contest. Well, we're gonna find out if we talk to Mr. Bonilla. We haven't been able to get a hold of him yet, so you know where, if you know, I'm.

[Christy]

I'm running like the wind.

[Tom]

Now it's time to review a couple of things from yesterday's program, if you don't mind.

[Christy]

Yeah, yeah, I don't mind. Here's time.

[Josh]

I missed it. What did I miss?

[Tom]

I yelled at Chick and called him a crab ass. That was the opening salvo.

[Josh]

Oh, wow.

[Christy]

Why don't you just go home? You know, you know, you know, because he doesn't ever. He doesn't ever get a bad mood.

[Tom]

And then. But he. He bounced right back. It was good at a good show.

[Christy]

Shut up.

[Tom]

And then he got mad because.

[Christy]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Tom]

Were you here when we brought up Scoragami?

[Josh]

Yes.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Josh]

I'm very excited you're still talking about that.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Josh]

The 48, 42 game.

[Chick]

Yep.

[Tom]

Well, the fact that that score had never taken place in the NFL, I thought was absolutely fascinating.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Christy]

Absolutely fascinating.

[Josh]

What other scores have never taken.

[Chick]

Oh, Christy, come on.

[Tom]

Oh, there's a whole chart.

[Chick]

Christie, poke your eyes out.

[Tom]

I mean, you can still find it because Scoragami hasn't folded yet.

[Chick]

He loves.

[Josh]

He loves that joke.

[Christy]

He loves that joke.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Christy]

As long as the day.

[Tom]

Let's see. We found out that Pat's son wants to go skiing over the break, so we're trying to get him outfitted. It would be fun, but we're discouraging Pat from skiing because he's got such a. You got a lot of hardware in your back.

[Chick]

I do indeed.

[Josh]

Right. You don't need to fall.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Pat's son's never ending quest to leave him penniless.

[Josh]

Ok. Kill his dad.

[Chick]

That's so, so true.

[Tom]

Chick is thinking of taking a break. Josh from the shoe in picks while on vacation.

[Chick]

I think it's a good idea.

[Christy]

I think it's a great idea. Who said that? Yeah, I think it is.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Christy]

What do you think of that?

[Josh]

Well, why would.

[Chick]

A vacation is a vacation.

[Christy]

That's right. I might put it up on Instagram. I don't know yet.

[Tom]

Leave me alone.

[Christy]

It's vacation.

[Tom]

He still has to make a house payment. How do you think he's going to get any money coming in?

[Josh]

He's lost $28,000.

[Tom]

That's why it's time to double down.

[Christy]

Well, there's never been a better time to take what you lost. Double it.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

And that at all. Yeah, that's true.

[Tom]

We had a great visit from Ed Septic and we found out that his cousin, who is somehow related to those of Spanish culture, her name is Latrina and she has a son named Dukie. We found out that the Pop Tart bowl, actually, the trophy. This is really kind of cool. It sounds tacky, but it is.

[Christy]

No, no, it's the most amazing. Now this is truly, absolutely fascinating.

[Tom]

The trophy itself. Now, you know that the pop. They have a Pop Tart mascot that comes out for the Pop Tart bowl.

[Christy]

Dances around, looks like a pop car.

[Tom]

They eat the mascot at the end.

[Christy]

Quite literally at the end of the game, the mascot jumps into what looks like a giant oven and then it rolls out and all the winning team eats him.

[Tom]

But the trophy, imagine a. What is it? Like a three or four foot trophy, but it's. It looks like a quality like bronze with a big foot. Bronze football, whatever it is on the top. Yeah, but it's also a functioning toaster.

[Josh]

What?

[Tom]

Yes, you can put. They put Pop Tarts in it. You press a button and they go down and they. It is actually.

[Chick]

You're imagining, probably.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

It's hard to describe. How cool is there? It is.

[Christy]

The absolute.

[Tom]

Now, see, it's wrapped in that cellophane. Pop Tarts are left.

[Christy]

Put the Pop Tart into the football.

[Tom]

And then it pops out.

[Josh]

Oh, my God.

[Tom]

At the top. Yeah. It's well worth watching the video. I believe that they got together with our friends at GE Appliances to create this great production there. And you can see the thing, it pops right out of the. Is it popping out of the football?

[Josh]

Yeah, it sure is. Two of them.

[Tom]

That's. That's some.

[Josh]

That is cool.

[Tom]

It's kind of a. I mean, how many prestigious awards are also kitchen appliances? And you know how. You know how I am. I prefer the. The cup to say the. The dishes. They give out.

[Josh]

The plates.

[Tom]

The plates.

[Christy]

I like to think at one point Oliver Reed might have used an Oscar as a muddler in the. At his home bar.

[Chick]

Yeah, among other things.

[Christy]

Maybe Peter O'Toole or.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

One of those guys.

[Tom]

Well, yeah.

[Christy]

You know how old Oliver Reed was when he died?

[Tom]

I don't know, 42 or something.

[Christy]

No, no, it was like 60. 60. I thought he was like 70 years old and it was early 60s.

[Chick]

Oh, that's it.

[Tom]

Yeah. I remember they were saying there are scenes in Gladiator where they. You. They only show him from the back. And they had something to do with his voice.

[Chick]

Heart attack in a pub and he overlived in Malta.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

But it was, like, a great way to go.

[Chick]

I know the pub.

[Tom]

There's a great scene in the movie Women in Love, based on the D.H. lawrence novel. Highly recommended. With Oliver Reed now. Yeah. But the pop Tart bowl. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Nice trophy. It's worth looking.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Tom]

The Tostitos cup, of course, is full of salsa. You get to go.

[Christy]

No, it's not all of the.

[Tom]

I think it's. I think it's nice that they actually incorporate the name of the bowl. What was the one last night? The Frisco bowl or something?

[Christy]

Cooper's Coffee Frisco Bowl.

[Chick]

Scooters.

[Christy]

Scooters. Coffee Scooter.

[Chick]

I'm a big fan of. Oh, I like scooters.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

See, shouldn't they make the. That trophy? Like, you can make a cappuccino with it or something.

[Christy]

Memphis beat West Virginia 42, 37 Last night in the Frisco Bowl. I thought Frisco Bowl. San Francisco. Frisco, Texas. Frisco Jones.

[Chick]

Frisco Kid.

[Tom]

And actually this one we can kind of do. Christy. We can. You know a lot about. You're a classic rock gal.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

What? This is now worldwide. Worldwide. They did a survey of tattoo parlors.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

And they found out which logo or sign from what rock band was the number one tattoo.

[Josh]

The lips or the tongue from Rolling Stone.

[Tom]

See, that's what I would have thought, too.

[Christy]

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Josh]

Guns N Roses.

[Tom]

Yeah. That was number two. Yeah, that was very good. Very good. I wouldn't have guessed that. I was stunned that the Stones weren't in there.

[Josh]

Number one would be.

[Tom]

It's probably. It's in the. Certainly one of the most famous album covers of all time. There are no people in it that helps.

[Josh]

No people in the band or on the COVID On the COVID.

[Tom]

We'll spill the beans. Pink Floyd, the prism, The Dark side of the Dark side of the Moon.

[Chick]

Side of the Moon.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

That's the number one tattoo.

[Tom]

The number one tattoo involves the band Pink Floyd. It doesn't specify if it's that cover.

[Chick]

Oh, it doesn't?

[Christy]

That's what I was wondering.

[Chick]

Pink Floyd doesn't have an exact logo. Yeah.

[Josh]

No joke.

[Tom]

It just says. It just says the band most Used. Used as Pink Floyd, by the way.

[Chick]

Which one's pink?

[Christy]

That's fine.

[Tom]

I have a cigar there. Oh, very good. Nice. Nice tag. The.

[Christy]

The man's on fire.

[Tom]

Number three is. Is. Is Rammstein, which.

[Christy]

Really.

[Tom]

Yeah. Which, by the way, is the last name of one of the elves and Chick's little quiz.

[Josh]

Ramstein. Is that a logo?

[Tom]

And then apparently, we don't know. Number four, Metallica. Number five, Nirvana, Linkin Park, Slipknot. One of Josh's favorites.

[Christy]

Doing all of them, huh?

[Tom]

Okay, just the top 10. 821p, 9, Iron Maiden, and 10 Tool.

[Chick]

Christy, you went to a Twenty One Pilots concert, didn't you?

[Josh]

Yes.

[Chick]

Not a rock band.

[Josh]

No. They're out there. No, they're not. Yeah, especially classic rock.

[Chick]

But Rolling Stones not In the top 10 is surprising.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Christy]

As Tom would say at this point if he heard someone else do this. This poll. Where did you get this? Who conducted this poll? And how are the lips not anywhere in the top 10? That's ridiculous.

[Tom]

This.

[Christy]

This poll is fraudulent.

[Josh]

I believe is group of the people getting tattoos, too. But again, younger people aren't, are they?

[Tom]

Dark side of the Moon came out in, what, 73 or 4?

[Christy]

73.

[Tom]

Thank you, Ace. The one they do show, they show a guy, and it's. It is a sort of a primitive pyramid with the rainbow going through it. It's not. Not particularly good one.

[Chick]

Oh.

[Tom]

Looks like it was probably done in prison, but nevertheless.

[Chick]

In prison.

[Tom]

Nevertheless. Those are some of the things we learned yesterday. My favorite story, though, was the guy that got pulled over, and he said to the police, they've got it on in the video. You know the guy go, I'm a professional drinker. He blew a 326.

[Josh]

Well, that's pretty good numbers. He is a pro.

[Chick]

They asked him, how many drinks do you think he said? He said, probably 10. 10.

[Tom]

The police know. Look, the standard answer is two, no matter how many one has had. But to be. I had 10. Officer. I'm a professional drinker. He's about to become a professional. What? Moped driver or bus. Or bus taker. Coming up in sports. What's happening over there, Mr. McGee?

[Christy]

We did have a bowl game last night. Memphis is your winner. We also had the NBA. NBA Cup. You guys on the NBA. NBA cup championship last night went to the Bucks beating Oklahoma City. You guys care about the NBA Cup? Yeah, I don't think anybody.

[Tom]

Wait a minute. Each player gets what, Half a million bucks that wins?

[Chick]

I saw a clip this morning.

[Christy]

A lot of empty seats this Is.

[Josh]

I don't even know anything about it.

[Christy]

This might be go down as the biggest failed idea in the history of the world. Yeah, it is. The ratings were. I'm sure they didn't get a chance.

[Tom]

That game does not count right in the standings.

[Christy]

No, it does not.

[Tom]

But for the player if you. You're the winning team they got. Each player got more than 500,000 bucks.

[Christy]

Some of the guys who won on the bucks, that was 25% of their salary.

[Chick]

That's a lot of money. They don't. They aren't going to be spending on child support. Isn't that.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Tom]

Yeah. I don't know where that came from. Usually it's the Chinese angle that he takes.

[Christy]

I don't know.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah. 10% has to go to seven times.

[Tom]

Everyone goes to China. Okay.

[Christy]

Tom, why don't you do the commercial?

[Tom]

Oh, it's common.

[Chick]

Common knowledge. They don't.

[Tom]

Coming up. We have. I've got one more story. I have.

[Christy]

I think the NFL might have more babies than the NBA. But that, I mean, what's his face alone might have nine. Nine babies. Who's that one?

[Tom]

Nick Cannon. Yeah.

[Christy]

What about entertainment that.

[Chick]

I think he pays for those kids.

[Christy]

Oh, he does.

[Chick]

I think so.

[Christy]

Boom Boom Cannon.

[Tom]

All right, Freddy. Boom Boom Cannon and your favorite vocalists. Right now I want to say hi to our buddies at the Silac insurance company. They're authorities on you know what.

[Josh]

What?

[Tom]

Annuities.

[Josh]

Oh, those are nice.

[Tom]

What's an annuity? That sounds complicated.

[Christy]

There's a song you were selling singing for Silac. What happened to that?

[Tom]

Was it annuity boy? Oh, I started too high, didn't I?

[Josh]

Pass Confusion.

[Christy]

No such thing.

[Chick]

You do it, son. Where you start? Annuity.

[Tom]

There you go. Slantra. Dude, such a one of a word. Okay, annuities. What's that? It's about when you retire, having money. Ever thought about that? Because most of us have jobs that when it's time to go, the boss doesn't go.

[Christy]

Me, I'm going to be ward of the state.

[Tom]

Yeah. Hey, chick, don't let the door hit you in the ass, but I'm going to keep paying you. Wrong. You got to take care of yourself. So looking down the road, Social Security, should it still exist, may not cover it. This is where an annuity comes in. And the experts on annuities, the authority on annuities, of course, the Silac insurance companies. So what is an annuity?

Wow, that sounds erotic.

[Josh]

That sounds really dirty.

Snowballing.

[Tom]

For New Year's Eve.

[Christy]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're all here celebrating the holiday. Hello, Tom.

[Tom]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Christy]

How are you?

[Tom]

Good, good. Christy was absent yesterday. She had some work done.

[Josh]

Yeah, some eye surgery done.

[Tom]

Eye surgery?

[Josh]

I Don't have any lenses in, by the way.

[Tom]

Oh, okay.

[Josh]

I can't get rid of my glasses. I can't.

[Tom]

There's no glass in them.

[Josh]

There's no glass. It's just the frames. But I'm.

[Tom]

That's funny.

[Josh]

It's my thing.

[Tom]

You're so used to it.

[Josh]

It's kind of like a. I don't know, like a comfort.

[Chick]

It's like when Selleck shaves his mustache, you know? Something's a little off here.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Plus, I look really scary.

[Chick]

Oh, you don't.

[Tom]

Yeah. Well, anyway, congratulations on the successful eye surgery.

[Josh]

Thank you.

[Tom]

We're gonna move forward here. We're gonna check in with the sports page. But first, you did miss a couple real quick things, Christy, that I wanted to. I wanted to review with you. Remember we had the. The color of the year last week?

[Josh]

It was some chocolatey mousse.

[Tom]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. They've already declared the flavor of the year for 2005.

[Josh]

What is it?

[Tom]

It's a brown sugar. Oh, of course. The leads, of course, to the Great Stone Song, which I believe the Stones are no longer playing live for some reason, but it's. It's a. A great flavor. I'm a big. I'm a big fan.

[Josh]

You like brown sugar?

[Tom]

Oh, I'm a big, big fan.

[Josh]

Really?

[Tom]

Oh, it. It always tastes great.

[Josh]

Brown sugar is one of those things you buy once and you have in your pantry for, like, a year, and it's rock hard. Well, you got a store.

[Chick]

Got to massage it, don't you?

[Josh]

Well, that and stored in something airtight. Yeah.

[Tom]

Yeah. Well, speaking of. Of the kitchen, did you see the thing about the mistake?

[Josh]

Yeah, I did.

[Tom]

Okay, we'll talk about if you're. If you're like me, you probably. Or under recent orders, to throw away all of your black plastic utensils in your kitchen. Have you heard about this whole thing?

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick]

No.

[Tom]

Yeah. If you had a black plastic spatula, you got to heave it because of the interaction of heat and whatever the science is, the molecules and.

[Christy]

Seems like they would have thought about that before manufacturing toxicity.

[Tom]

Well, it's. Now they're backtracking a little bit. You'll find out why. So. So if you have. If you haven't thrown them away yet, you might want to hold off. That's all I'm saying. I tossed my favorite spatula. That's all I can.

[Josh]

I tossed my favorite spatula that I had gotten from my mother, and I. I'm so sick to my stomach about it that I Went on ebay or Etsy or one of these places, and found the exact spatula. Not the exact one, but very replica. And bought it again. No, it does feel the same.

[Tom]

Josh. What's. Is her ghost gonna haunt her if she flips a burger with that one?

[Christy]

What's.

[Chick]

Something like that happens, typically, the dead relative has to spend a week in hell. Oh, really? Oh, I thought, I thought.

[Tom]

It's not going to penalize Christie.

[Chick]

Yeah, sounds familiar. Penance for the living, they call it.

[Tom]

Right. I see. Okay. Wow. Okay.

[Chick]

That's.

[Tom]

All right. So. Sorry. We'll. We'll be talking about your feeling. She'll fit right in your black. Wow.

[Josh]

Birthday's tomorrow.

[Tom]

Nice. Nice, Nice tag. Let's do anything to change the subject and move over to Chick Magee. You can see him at the sports desk. What's going on over there?

[Christy]

Let's see. Giannis had 26 points to go along with 19 rebounds, 10 assists. And Damian Lillard Dame.

[Chick]

It's all for you, Damien.

[Christy]

He added 23 points. And the Milwaukee Bucks 17 three pointers. And they beat Oklahoma City 97, 81 last night in Vegas and win the NBA Cup. The NB NBA cup title. That happened last night. And the winning team, everybody gets $500,000.

[Josh]

What a ridiculous thing to do.

[Tom]

No, I think it's fun. The NBA season is so long and so boring.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

There's too many games.

[Josh]

They just cut down the game.

[Chick]

Don't real NBA fans feel it's not too long and not boring?

[Christy]

You know what? I don't know, but I think they are.

[Chick]

The hockey season is just as long, and I'm never like, oh, there's just too much.

[Christy]

You don't ever hear that about hockey, though. You really don't.

[Chick]

The same exact schedule.

[Tom]

But, but would you like it if in the. They had a little mini tournament in the middle of the season?

[Chick]

No, because I like the games.

[Josh]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Chick]

You don't like watching all those basketball games, so you would like something like this.

[Tom]

Okay, But I think it's, it just gives the players some incentive. 500,000 bucks. I'm gonna, I'm gonna hustle this.

[Chick]

Oh, dude. I mean, to me, you know, my.

[Tom]

Whole theory is they should only play the, the players on the winning team in most of these sports.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

No. Can you imagine the hustle you're going to get?

[Chick]

We, I mean, I, I, we, We really cannot debate this anymore because you refuse to listen. But it's.

[Tom]

No, no, it's because.

[Christy]

No, no, no. He's, he's that way about a lot of times.

[Chick]

It actually works that way, Tom. It really does.

[Christy]

It really does work. The better you do, the more money you make.

[Chick]

Yes.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Christy]

It already is.

[Tom]

Really. So you mean, let's see. Aaron Rodgers.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Is making a bucket of money. Yeah.

[Christy]

Four time.

[Chick]

But you can't base it on future play.

[Tom]

No, but you should.

[Christy]

Four time. You kind of do four. Four time. Mvp, won a Super Bowl. Yeah.

[Chick]

Yeah. Right.

[Christy]

Generational wealth earned. Yes.

[Chick]

Yeah. No, no, he hasn't earned it.

[Tom]

Nope.

[Christy]

Four time. Okay. I would. I would talk to you about this and we could exchange ideas, but I don't think that's possible.

[Tom]

Okay. If, If. If you and I were going to play, say, a game of horse in the parking lot for $50,000.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Don't you think you'd hustle more? Yeah.

[Chick]

Do you make more money now than you did in 1983?

[Tom]

Oh, sure.

[Chick]

Of course. The reason you do is because of what you did between 1983 and now.

[Christy]

But if someone said they're not paying.

[Chick]

You for how you're going to do next year.

[Christy]

If someone sat down and listened to what you're doing now. I don't know.

[Chick]

That's just how any job.

[Tom]

I'm just saying. The famous line in the movie Airplane about the NBA and about a lack of hustle some nights. I'm just saying, you know, halfway through the season, some of the game, my dad says that. What is it?

[Chick]

You don't forget exactly what the criticism.

[Tom]

Is and then let your dad get.

[Christy]

Out here and drag Walton and Lanier up and down the floor.

[Tom]

That's it.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Tom]

We'll be.

[Christy]

Let's not talk about this anymore. Okay.

[Tom]

Sorry.

[Chick]

All right.

[Christy]

Thanks. It's the holidays.

[Chick]

Yeah, it is.

[Tom]

By the way, I recommend you use a black splat spatula on your Teflon pan. That we won't be here next year.

[Christy]

Well, that will. That. Will that get me out of here quicker? Okay, fine. We got to work something out, by the way. Yeah.

[Tom]

What's coming up so I can get.

[Christy]

Out of here quicker? We gotta. We gotta take a look at that.

[Chick]

Figure it out.

[Christy]

What. What do you want? What's coming up in sports here? The Falcons bench quarterback. That's one of his. So he'll pay attention. And Michael Vick's going to be a head football coach. How about that?

[Josh]

Really?

[Chick]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tom]

Hope the team isn't the Bulldog.

[Christy]

And how about this? How about this what? World record for slicing a cucumber with a chainsaw while blindfolded.

[Tom]

Wait a second.

[Christy]

We're coming back.

[Tom]

But the chainsaw. I'm sorry, but the cucumber is in a guy's mouth lying down.

[Chick]

Different.

[Christy]

Yeah, I was. I was gonna wait till we came back.

[Tom]

Sorry.

[Christy]

That. Good job, though.

[Chick]

This isn't David Rush, is it?

[Tom]

No.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Christy]

I hope so.

[Tom]

Whoever by the guy lying down was quoted as saying, hey, wait, wait.

[Christy]

How perfect.

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the SILAC news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom]

Hey, Chick.

[Christy]

Hello. Josh Arnold at the I hate Stephen Singer Sidekick channel.

[Chick]

I mean, this. This is a disaster.

[Christy]

I. I think we have to talk about. We're going to talk about. So, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom. Now, Friday we have our annual gift exchange show here on the bottom.

[Tom]

It works.

[Christy]

And he. I think Josh made some arrangements, but.

[Chick]

I thought I was really on top of things.

[Christy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick]

So, Tom, you are getting a physical gift on Friday.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Chick]

Many other people, including Ace, Pat, Chick, and Christie, I have sent their gift gifts to via email. Pat got his because. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Instead of getting you guys crap you don't need or want. This is wonderful, too. I give. It's a gift card holiday. All right. Yeah, I know places that I know you guys enjoy and I wanted to treat you to things, but during the.

[Tom]

Break, I was over here reading and I'm not paying attention. And then I. I hear Josh's voice. I'm not really listening. And then he apparently was asking each one of you a question and not a single person answered it.

[Josh]

No, I did.

[Tom]

Well, yeah.

[Chick]

I said, hey, guys, I sent your presence early and I have no idea what you're talking.

[Christy]

Although my. I just updated to the Apple intelligence I sent.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Christy]

The latest.

[Chick]

But apparently the emails that I used for you guys to receive your gifts are all defunct. Nobody's getting.

[Tom]

We'll get. We'll get to the new email list. A couple things I've Got a letter we got to get to. But first, we have. We're joined by comedian Rob Haney on the phone. And, Rob, can you hear me okay now?

[Ace]

Yeah, just fine.

[Tom]

There we go. Rob is part of a special project coming to Brickey's Comedy Club near Dayton, Ohio, that's coming up this Saturday. Is that correct?

[Ace]

Yep. You bring a toy and you get free admission. It's my first time performing there, so I guess they didn't know any better.

[Tom]

I see, I see. And have you ever been, by the way, to Strothers, Ohio?

[Chick]

No.

[Ace]

Heard you guys talking about it, but, no, I've never been there.

[Tom]

Strothers is the. The home of our winner for this week's special competition, the Bobaton Pigskin Picks. But we'll find out more about that. What's the latest? Are you getting ready for Christmas at your place, Rob?

[Ace]

Yeah, it's, you know, holiday season. Although before we get to that, be honest with you, I was a little hurt. I was talking to Jason, your fabulous producer, and he let me know that when I call, your caller ID comes up a spam risk for me. But that hurt a little bit. So I guess maybe I'm too sensitive. We had a great Thanksgiving, and everybody was praising my daughter and wife for the great meal, completely ignoring the fact that I'm the one that took the turkey in and out of the oven. Plus, I don't know whether deviled eggs is part of your Thanksgiving, but this is weird to me how I'm walking downstairs that morning and I'm kind of sniffing, thinking, boy, did somebody swear themselves. Then you find us deviled eggs, and all of a sudden, it smells good.

[Tom]

Say steer.

[Ace]

You know, I know when I call in, and it's justifiable. A lot of old man cranky talk and. But I don't hate everything new. I don't hate every invention. Like, my favorite invention of my lifetime is probably, oh, the microwave oven and yoga pants.

[Chick]

Both heat things up, don't they?

[Tom]

Big fan.

[Ace]

I just can't. All this technology, I just have trouble with it at my age. I had to drive my son's car the other day, and it's just too much information. Had more screens than a great sports bar, but it's like sensory overload. I. I don't know how they knew this, but it actually told me. The flop, my fly, the zipper was down. Maybe there's some reason you can get. You can get around this, and I'm not aware of it, but why can't people lock their cars without the horn Beeping. I'm just tired of waving at strangers and jumping out of non existent cars. All right, let's move on.

[Christy]

All right.

[Ace]

Well, again, you know, look, nothing happens in vacuum. There's a lot of good things with technology. You know, I don't know if anybody's part of Facebook. I reluctantly joined that, but just say I. I get a lot of friend requests from scantily clad hot chicks and I try to let them down easy, but the answer is no. And I'm going to confess here about something on social networking. I. I've been posting pics of other people's meals and claiming they were mine. Oh. In case you wondered, yeah. That photo of me scaling Devil's Tower was photoshopped. Here's something I've noticed lately here with cell phones. They're so pervasive. I mean, everywhere. It's just crazy. I. I don't. I feel sorry for teachers. Yeah, I mean, how are you supposed to compete for cell phone? I mean, my teachers could lose me and their only competition was a window.

[Tom]

That's kind of profound, really.

[Ace]

Not just a window. I actually, I spent a lot of time thinking about a girl I had a crush on named Denise who sat there in the front, but. Which brings back a lot of bad memories. We had a prom. She was one of the first girls I rassed on a date. We had a promise. You know, they always theme them and this one for the prom, they all went down to Cincinnati on a riverboat for the after prom. They called it riverboat rendezvous. I never actually said that word out loud. I'd see all these banners in the hallway and I called her up and said, would you like to go to the riverboat rendezvous with me? She said, it's pronounced rendezvous and the answer is no.

[Chick]

Did we.

[Ace]

Did I lose connection?

[Tom]

Just so sad. It reminds me of chick story about the dead kitten in the Christmas tree.

[Ace]

Well, here's something else I noticed about cell phones lately anyhow. For a while, a long time, all my friends would get out their cell phone and show me pictures of their grandchildren. Well, now that it's legal to grow marijuana, Ohio people keep showing me pictures of their pot plants. I still say the same thing that go, oh, that's such a cute age. You must be proud. Where's something I noticed? If you guys don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but I was shopping for Christmas cards and I noticed the get well cards are right next to the sympathy cards. Not exactly optimistic, is it? You know, honey, he didn't look well. Let's just go ahead and save our trip back to Hallmark and buy one now.

[Tom]

Two birds.

[Ace]

Why not? Speaking of Hallmark, Josh, besides being extremely funny guy, this hit me the other day. You said that you have actually a favorite Hallmark star.

[Chick]

Yeah, yeah, the male guy.

[Ace]

He might be the only guy I know who has favorite Hallmark actress and a favorite porn star.

[Chick]

You might be right.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Ace]

This year I was outvoted for the. Anyways, for the first time ever, we. We don't have a real tree. We. We bought a fake tree. But every. Oh, it's so realistic. You won't mind. It's so realistic. And in all honesty, it turned out it was very realistic. It even has a bad side. We have to turn towards the wall. And I want everybody to have a great Christmas, but I want to caution everybody, don't. Don't ruin Christmas by drinking too much. When I was much younger and my kids are much younger, I. I sometimes drank too much on Christmas Eve and my kids kind of got tired of waking up and finding me under the tree. My kids actually thought that Santa came to your house, left presents, then threw up in your bathroom. Well, to show you I don't hate all new things. Remember, at least in my age, growing up, we had what they called on your tree series. Lights, sir.

[Tom]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Ace]

One bulb, every bulb, to figure out which one had went bad. I don't know who did that, but it should be like this, in my opinion. Edison, Tesla and that guy. Right. Well, let me mention this. I hope. Hopefully my wife's not listening. Well, she never listens to me, so there's no chance of that. But see, I gotta get her something really nice this year. Really nice.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Ace]

Last year I got her a gift card and she got all upset. Oh, you made. You made no effort. You showed no imagination. Turns out she wants to be surprised by the stuff she's going to return.

[Tom]

Thank you, Rob. Rob. Haiti is going to be doing a special charity project at Bricky's Comedy Club near Dayton, Ohio. Thanks, Rob.

[Ace]

Thank you.

[Tom]

Merry Christmas.

[Ace]

Thanks so much.

[Chick]

You too, Rob. See you, man.

[Ace]

Oh, Tom, thank you for the Omaha Steaks.

[Tom]

Oh, you're welcome. I'm glad you got.

[Ace]

Oh, they were great. I didn't know I'd got them until I saw my neighbor grilling out.

[Tom]

I'm glad you got him. Thanks, Rob.

[Ace]

All right, everybody, if you can't be.

[Tom]

Good, be careful, okay? I got a letter here.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Tom]

We actually missed something.

[Josh]

What?

[Tom]

Yesterday and today in history. I missed it. I'm sorry, Tom. How could you miss it. 1964, December 17th, the third James Bond movie premiered, starring Sean Connery.

[Chick]

Ah.

[Josh]

Is it your favorite one?

[Tom]

It kind of is.

[Josh]

It's Thunderball.

[Tom]

Thunderball, I think was the best one of that era, but I think the most famous one is what's undoubtedly. Well, there's a little bit of music. You'll remember this. Goldfinger.

[Josh]

I can't imagine you missed that.

[Christy]

Wow. He's the man. He's the man. All right, Shirley, we're not gonna get anyone better than that.

[Tom]

She's still alive, right? Is she really, Shirley? Yeah. 1964. Goldfinger, man.

[Chick]

Bring me my tea.

[Christy]

Tea. Damn it, I said tea.

[Tom]

Now, Christy, do you remember the name of the. Of the female lead in Goldfinger?

[Josh]

She was painted gold, that girl.

[Tom]

No, the one that was on the airplane. No, her, played by the actress Honor Blackman. Her character name was. Was Galore.

[Josh]

Oh, I was gonna guess that, but I didn't think that was later.

[Christy]

I'd gone to heaven.

[Tom]

Yeah. Doesn't that sound like the name of a strip club?

[Josh]

Well.

[Pat]

Oh, it's.

[Chick]

It smells like in here. Her perfume. You see, we know what we are doing.

[Tom]

Come on, you're not fooling nobody. And Goldfinger, of course, was the first. Got to get the third base with the daughter of King Midas.

[Christy]

Hey, are you worrying about what you're gonna buy for Christmas for gifts, aren't you? I've got the solution. I do.

[Tom]

It's third base, you see.

[Christy]

[Christy]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. And of course, we. The minutes there were a little quicker than they normally are. So Tom is late to come back.

[Chick]

To break running in the room.

[Josh]

And now, once again, he did have a technical difficulty.

[Christy]

Be advised that it's not Tom's fault. It. That he doesn't know what time it is. It's. It's the clock that is it.

[Tom]

No, I.

[Christy]

There we go.

[Tom]

How much time was left? And I said, okay, I. And then Christy goes, I'll cover.

[Josh]

We'll cover for you. Because he said, it's the long break. And I knew he had to go.

[Tom]

You know, this is the long break. And if I didn't take.

[Josh]

Yeah, he would have been miserable.

[Tom]

Would have been. Because we had that news story yesterday. You missed that yesterday.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

That's supposed to hold your urine.

[Josh]

No, it's bad for you. Get UTI that way.

[Tom]

Yeah. And this, by the way, they mean hold it not in your hands. That would be all right.

[Chick]

Rather also not good. But not the health problem.

[Josh]

You can't really hold it that long in your hands anyway. We all know that.

[Tom]

What's the longest you've ever had to hold it?

[Josh]

Hold my pee.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

God, I don't know.

[Tom]

By the way, some guy just went, yes, I'd love to, Christy.

[Chick]

Yes. Yes.

[Tom]

Yeah, I'll hold it here.

[Josh]

Do you actually remember the longest you've ever held your pee?

[Tom]

I. Yes, I do.

[Christy]

It was mine. Was. It was his fault. He wouldn't. No, we have to stay. Stop. Don't go. No, stay here.

[Tom]

I mean, just recently got sick.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

And I got sick just recently. I went to see the Eagles at the Sphere.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I mentioned this yesterday, and I. All of a sudden, I just had to go. I'd been walking. I had been walking around Vegas drinking coffee all day, and it caught up with me. I had to pee. So And I wasn't in an aisle seat, so that was kind of embarrassing, but the most I've ever had to go. This is a little bit pretentious. I was on a bus in Germany with my brother.

[Christy]

Yeah. And you, your brother, Philly Bront.

[Tom]

And we, we had been, we had been. We'd been drinking a lot of German beer.

[Christy]

Yes, we had.

[Tom]

And the bus driver wouldn't not stop. And finally there was some.

[Josh]

Wasn't a bathroom on the bus.

[Tom]

No. And I, I, I wish I could get Jim on the phone. We timed it.

[Josh]

Oh, boy.

[Chick]

Time the actual pee.

[Tom]

Yes, we got, we got. He goes, all right, I gotta time this thing. And we were there what seemed like forever. But. Yeah. According to this, Dr. Jason Kim at Stony Brook University, holding your pee can be a problem. Problem.

[Josh]

Sure.

[Tom]

It can create a breeding ground for bacteria because it says, flushes out new invaders. Sure. So there you go. Now, Pat, speaking of P, how's your P doing this? You have to turn it.

[Chick]

I know.

[Tom]

Once a week.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every week I gotta.

[Tom]

Wow.

[Christy]

That was. That was for off the air only, I think a little bit about a HIPAA regulation, I'm sure. Dear Fellow degenerates, Hello. My name is Mike Miller from Struthers, Ohio. All right, Tom, you want to back up and explain why we're doing a salute to Struthers, Ohio today?

[Tom]

It's our city of the day. Because our Pigskin Picks winner here in the Bob and Tom show is from Struthers, Ohio. And what's his name?

[Christy]

Chappie Bonilla.

[Tom]

What is it? It's Edward Bonilla.

[Chick]

Edward Bonya.

[Christy]

Edward Chappie Bona.

[Tom]

He had a perfect week. 1 of 16 with a perfect week. But he won the tiebreaker. He wins that $500 gift certificate from my buddy Stephen Singer at Steven Singer Jo Jewelers, ladies and gentlemen. And what does our friend from Strothers have to say?

[Christy]

There are two fun facts about Struthers. It's the only city in the United States with no cemetery.

[Josh]

What?

[Christy]

Also, we started the street revolution. And the Bruce Springsteen song Youngstown references this in the line where it says, jim and Dan Heaton found the ore that was lining Yellow Creek. They built a blast furnace. Yeah. Out remnants of their first blast furnace are still in the woods in Yellow Creek, about a half mile from my home.

[Chick]

Do you think Bruce even remembers the song teleprompter?

[Christy]

P.S. tom, Guns and Roses do not suck.

[Tom]

That's because Ace was playing some crappy song.

[Christy]

No, I, I played it and.

[Tom]

Okay, sorry. Now let's move forward here. We have to visit the sports page. What have you got over there?

[Christy]

Did we go over the NBA cup and the excitement all over the country? The NBA cup parties and everything else? Yeah.

[Chick]

Cars flipped, fire second.

[Christy]

Second only to Super bowl celebrations. Ratings down 20% by the way the latest report. But Adam Silver of course says that's no concern to him.

[Chick]

I am not concerned.

[Christy]

I am not concerned.

[Tom]

I'll be Josh for a minute. How are the ratings in china?

[Christy]

Giannis had 26, 19 rebounds, 10 assist, 6 assists. Bucks 9781 over the Oklahoma State Thunder.

[Tom]

Only another 200 games till the playoffs.

[Christy]

Seth Henigan threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns in his last game for number 25, Memphis. He matched the American Athletic Conference career touchdown passing record with 104 as the Tigers held on to beat West Virginia in the Frisco Bowl. And Frisco Texas or Hennigan Scotch? I'm not sure. West Virginia losing 42 37.

[Chick]

Did you ever see the movie Finnegan beginning Memphis Tigers?

[Tom]

I wouldn't go just based on the title titled how's that for unfair. What's the guy's just a Finnegan's wake knockoff.

[Chick]

He played Robert Preston I believe is in Finnegan Begin again. Really? It was one of those HBO staples from like 1984.

[Tom]

It was on every three hours with Eddie Macon's run. Remember when they ran that every day? It was the Showtime or HBO in the early days of cable tv.

[Chick]

Yeah, cable used to just be four movies. Yeah, it was like My Bodyguard.

[Christy]

Oh yeah, that's true.

[Chick]

He make it.

[Christy]

Humps where they ran out of horses in the calvary and they had to use camels. You don't remember this movie?

[Josh]

No.

[Christy]

Oh my God. I think it won two two Oscars.

[Chick]

Look at this. Finnegan beginning and Mary Tyler Moore, Robert Preston, Sam Waterston.

[Christy]

Look up, look up.

[Tom]

Oh, that's the. That's the one where they try to get Robert Preston to like women.

[Christy]

No, that's Victor Victoria.

[Tom]

Oh, sorry.

[Christy]

The Atlanta Falcons have benched Kirk Cousins and announced that rookie Michael Penix Jr. Will be their new starting quarterback.

[Tom]

See, that's what I like about this going forward. Coach, doesn't Penix Jr sound like a website that had to be taken down?

[Josh]

Would you grow up?

[Christy]

Coach Rahim Moore said this was an so football decision. We're fully focused on preparing the team for it's on to the Giants. Falcon 7 and 7 ended a four game losing streak with Monday night.

[Tom]

He's got. He's got Big, Big Panics Energy. Suppose they call him Big Panics.

[Christy]

Oh, he's just getting started. Hang on.

[Tom]

Everybody's a little bit.

[Christy]

Michael Vick has agreed to become the new head coach at Norfolk State in a return to football for the former NFL stars. Never coached at any level. He's 44 years old. He announced on his Facebook page last night he was accepting the job. Norfolk State did not immediately confirm the hiring of Vic.

[Tom]

They're changing the name of the team from the Bulldogs.

[Christy]

They grew. Vic grew up in nearby Newport News. Vic started, of course, Virginia Tech. A four time Pro Bowler, 13 seasons. Atlanta, Philadelphia, the Jets and Pittsburgh. He served 18 months in federal prison in the middle of his career after pleading guilty to a dog fighting riot.

[Chick]

You remember that the first rule of Dog Fight Club.

[Christy]

You don't talk about Dog Fight Club. Stupid.

[Chick]

World record.

[Christy]

Members of an Indian martial arts collective have broken the Guinness World Record for the most slices of a cucumber held in a person's mouth with a chainsaw while blindfolded in one minute.

[Chick]

Well, this is insanity.

[Christy]

You're gonna have to do the rest of this. I'm out of breath and tired.

[Chick]

Beer.

[Christy]

Colossus or colossa. Call Khalsa. Claim the 71 slices. Where did you find this and why is it interesting?

[Tom]

Because.

[Christy]

Help me.

[Tom]

There's a guy. This is on that attack.

[Christy]

I want to be better.

[Tom]

It's on the Italian TV show that does the Guinness World Records.

[Chick]

That's inaccred.

[Tom]

That's the short skits.

[Christy]

Here is a John Davidson.

[Tom]

It's called a low Show. Dear Record. It's frantic and it's a Gotta go. This guy's lying on his back.

[Christy]

One martial artist lies on his back with a cucumber in his mouth while another puts a blindfold on and hacks away at the vegetable with a chainsaw.

[Chick]

No, I don't mean to.

[Christy]

A third member replaces the cucumber when it's ever cut down to the holder's lips.

[Chick]

I'm trying to criticize here, but not a lot of martial arts employ chainsaws.

[Tom]

What do they use? They use those nunchucks.

[Chick]

What are they called? Often? Your own limbs. Limbs. You don't necessarily.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom]

Now I think we may have the video. Yeah. Here you go. There's the guy. The guy's blindfolded, holding a chainsaw, slicing cucumber looks about half inch slices. And he's getting right next to the guy's nose.

[Chick]

I wonder how he knows how to stop.

[Christy]

There must. There must be a trick to this somehow.

[Tom]

Maybe the screaming.

[Chick]

Yeah, somebody's probably yelling out.

[Christy]

No, he's the guy laying down. We can't hear him smelling. Okay, okay, okay, okay, now stop, stop.

[Josh]

I mean, there's a vibrator thing on his belt or something that they still.

[Tom]

I mean, he's still an inch away from the guy's nose. If he slips at all, he's. The guy's blindfolded. I wouldn't want someone to do it.

[Josh]

See? When was that? You can peek underneath.

[Tom]

So you're thinking that the blindfold guy's cheating.

[Josh]

Look at that.

[Christy]

They have the. I think it's all a scam. You've been taken in.

[Tom]

They have the Guinness people. They're checking the blindfolds.

[Josh]

Oh, God, you are so easily fooled. Fooled?

[Tom]

Hey, look, do you realize that's how the salad shooter was invented? And you're making your poo pooing it. Is that still out there, by the way?

[Josh]

Oh, probably.

[Tom]

The salad, the salad shooter.

[Chick]

Was it effective?

[Josh]

I don't know. I didn't get one either.

[Tom]

How many of those appliances are used once?

[Chick]

Many.

[Tom]

I, I fell for one of them.

[Josh]

With the egg poacher.

[Tom]

I thank you, Christy. I fell for that egg poacher thing. It was like a rubberized thing and you put it on. It poached the eggs. Great. And then it was a three hour cleanup.

[Chick]

Oh, no kidding.

[Tom]

Yeah, you have to get a sculptor to come in with a chisel.

[Josh]

Do you have the egg poacher cups like your mom used to have?

[Tom]

Oh, the stainless steel ones.

[Chick]

I love that.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Christy]

You got an egg. A hard egg boiler machine.

[Chick]

I have a pampered chef. Oh, yeah, that thing.

[Christy]

That's a great thing.

[Chick]

Yeah, that is.

[Tom]

Get a pampered one.

[Chick]

I got a pampered chef. Oh, chef egg make egg poacher. That I just love. You can have a poached egg in less than a minute.

[Josh]

Really?

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

I was daughter to eat poached eggs.

[Chick]

They're delicious.

[Tom]

I, I, I couldn't get her to do it.

[Josh]

Oh, why wouldn't she? Does she eat eggs normally?

[Christy]

It kind of seems like snot, but it tastes better.

[Chick]

I bought a new broom. I should have known. I should have known.

[Josh]

You don't like it?

[Chick]

I hate it. It's, it was a new fancy type of broom. I fell for the commercial.

[Tom]

A broom, fancy. What's different about what? What?

[Chick]

It doesn't have bristles. It's almost like a squeegee broom. I've seen that commercial. Okay. Yeah, I fell four days. You know, the problem is how Was.

[Christy]

The price point on that 29.95.

[Chick]

I don't remember.

[Christy]

19.99. Okay.

[Chick]

Yeah, probably. But when you. It kind of sweeps. Okay. But it squeaks the whole time. Oh, no, this is. And then I went. You know what? Of course. This isn't. This doesn't work. Right. The broom was perfected 400 years ago. Yes.

[Tom]

Maybe more.

[Chick]

Right, Exactly. But your baked potato microwave cooker.

[Tom]

Now, that.

[Chick]

That really does. Yeah. Yeah, that's. That's really terrific. But I got nailed on the broom. You wanted Ace.

[Christy]

No.

[Chick]

Yeah, no, it's. It's not good.

[Tom]

Okay, well, in any event, well worth looking up the record for the guy.

[Christy]

No, you know, enough about it. You don't have to waste it.

[Tom]

No, this guy's lying.

[Christy]

Any more minutes, they show a person.

[Tom]

In the audience with this look of horror on her face that the guy's about to get his nose cut off with a chainsaw saw. Josh, you just don't like it because they're cutting cucumbers and there's no ranch dressing.

[Josh]

Oh, God.

[Chick]

Did I. No, you didn't do anything to deserve.

[Christy]

Listen and remember, we're in the. Right. In the sweet spot of the holidays. Josh. That's how he is.

[Chick]

I'm not mad. I looked over and he was so overjoyed. It's really hard to get mad at him when he's that happy about something.

[Tom]

Oh, thank.

[Josh]

Wonder how many guys are walking around with no noses after they were broken, practicing.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Josh]

You think There had to be a. Had to be.

[Tom]

I thought that Guinness didn't allow records that were incredibly dangerous. I thought they'd drawn the line there if f. But in any event.

[Christy]

So that's why we know they're faking it.

[Tom]

They're not faking it.

[Josh]

Maybe the chainsaw just had, like, plastic on it. You can cut a cucumber pretty easily with.

[Tom]

Well, still, I think that would. If it would cut a cucumber, it would take your nose off. No.

[Christy]

No one was ever in any danger.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Christy]

You remember that wide receiver for the Carolina Panthers, Xavier Leggett? He talks like for.

[Tom]

I love that. He's the guy that ate the.

[Christy]

What did he eat raccoon for Thanksgiving?

[Tom]

That's right.

[Christy]

Remember that? Well, guess who else eats raccoon and squirrel. That's right. Jerry Jones. He said on his weekly talk show yesterday, I've eaten a lot of raccoon. I've eaten it hunting. I've actually had it served by my mom at the table. Away from hunting. It's not uncommon at all. One of my favorites though. Squirrel. It's wonderful. My mother would do a great job of preparing it. We all had our favorite pieces. My mom and I would ask for the brain from the squirrel.

[Chick]

How about that?

[Christy]

It's delicious. Then he adds, seriously.

[Tom]

You know why?

[Josh]

Because why he.

[Tom]

On his talk show, the last thing he wants to talk about is his team.

[Christy]

Yeah, they might make the playoffs. Actually. I say the deep ball man.

[Tom]

But I really feel like any way that I get the ball in my hand.

[Josh]

That's right end zone.

[Christy]

Get it to that end zone.

[Chick]

That's fantastic.

[Tom]

I love that guy's voice.

[Chick]

Wonderful.

[Christy]

He should some sort of voiceover work. That would be. Although that might wear on you a little bit during a two hour movie. And then everyone lived happily ever.

[Chick]

Best actor statuette.

[Christy]

Oh yeah.

[Tom]

There you go. That's a great voice. What position does the guy play in the Panthers?

[Christy]

That's wide receiver.

[Tom]

I gotta. I've got a merch idea for him.

[Chick]

You do?

[Tom]

Bring back the coonskin cap.

[Chick]

Oh the Davy Crockett.

[Tom]

Remember the David. That was a fad. Decimated. Yeah. It decimated the population of raccoons. I. I believe.

[Josh]

Oh they bounced back. I can tell you that.

[Tom]

Yeah. The raccoons are. No kidding. Yeah. I've got a trio of them in my backyard. Dogs don't care for them.

[Josh]

I neither. They like to run across the deck.

[Christy]

I will never forget that. My girls were outside and I heard of their. And they never bark. So I go outside and they're like. And they're running in circles around the biggest raccoon I've ever seen. Neither one of them have any idea what to do. You're not gonna believe. What the hell is this?

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

The good thing about my neighborhood, of course the.

[Christy]

The.

[Tom]

The raccoons are organic. They're. They're trash fed. They're the nicest kind of raccoons. What's coming up in sports?

[Christy]

I'll find something. Just stay right there.

[Tom]

Okay, good. We have a fascinating. If you're growing your own marijuana legally or illegally, it doesn't matter to me. Me. We have a really interesting thing about what not to use to fertilize it.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Tom]

It's a life and death story. Sadly death coming up. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy]

Got something to say? Send us an email. Bob and tomobandtom.com this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Josh]

You met Lala Kent on Vanderpump rules.

[Tom]

Now Lala and her friends share everything.

[Josh]

Thing on give them Lala bagel. Everybody says I Say that weird. It is ruined by proposal story.

[Tom]

How Jason proposed and she was like.

[Josh]

He brought in a bunch of bagels.

[Chick]

I was like, I have to stop.

[Josh]

I will punch you in the throat if you ever tell this story again.

[Tom]

And call it a bagel. Let me tell you now, when I.

[Josh]

Tell the story, I go, he went and got breakfast.

[Tom]

There you go.

Yeah.

[Tom]

That's cool.

[Christy]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Ace Cosby, Josh Arnold, Pat Godwin, Christy Lee. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Tom]

Hello. Chick Magee. It's good to have you here.

[Christy]

Merry Christmas.

[Tom]

Yes, sir. All right, got a couple things I wanted to mention real quick. First of all, congratulations to Edward Bonilla Strothers. Ohio is the location of Mr. Bonilla and he's our winner of the badminton Pigskin Picks competition. I mentioned it because we've got. What is it? Week 16 starting Thursday evening.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Tom]

And please weigh in with your picks because you could win that $500 gift card from Stephen Singer jewelers. Also while I'm at it, a couple of shows coming up. Kostakia Khan of Coming up this Friday and Saturday, he'll be at the Underground Laugh Lounge in Niles, Michigan, Sunday night at the Presidential Brewing Place in Portage, Michigan. So he's got some shows, shows coming up on the way. You can check out Mr. Economopoulos. He's always, always, always a good time. Right. Now we return to the sports page.

[Christy]

We go to news.

[Tom]

Okay. It's the Silicon Insurance news desk starring Christy Lee with glasses on with no glass in them.

[Josh]

Right. That's my security blanket.

[Tom]

Once again, you had your eyes. Some eye surgery, but you just like having the frames.

[Josh]

I do. Makes me feel more normal. Is that a word?

[Tom]

I mean, how normal? How normal can you be if you're on this show?

[Josh]

That's true. Boy, that isn't that agreement.

[Tom]

Normality on the show is a low bar.

[Christy]

Huh?

[Josh]

A recent study details the case of two men from Rochester, New York.

[Christy]

Rochester.

[Chick]

That's very good.

[Christy]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Josh]

Dying from a rare fungal lung infection after using bat manure to grow cannabis.

[Tom]

Listen to this. Don't you think this is the kind of idea that these guys probably had while smoking pot?

[Josh]

Sure.

[Chick]

I didn't realize that was such a guano. No.

[Josh]

159 year old man had purchased guano online to use as fertilizer for his cannabis plants, while a 64 year old man intended to Fertilize his cannabis plants with guano he found in his attic following a heavy bat infestation.

[Chick]

I'd like to have a heavy bat infestation.

[Christy]

Heavy bat infestation.

[Josh]

Men developed a condition called histopox plasmosis after breathing in spores of a harmful fungus known as histoplasma capsulatum.

[Chick]

Capsule item.

[Josh]

Yeah, thank you. From the bat poop. Though they were treated with antifungal medication, both men died from the illness.

[Chick]

Yikes.

[Josh]

Doctors said the incident should serve as a warning about the potential dangers of using bat guano as a fertilizer for any plant.

[Tom]

No kidding.

[Josh]

Why would you even think to do that?

[Chick]

Well, the one guy had had it. Hey, look, I had this heavy bat infestation. I might as well use this stuff.

[Josh]

No, but.

[Chick]

No. Yeah, that's.

[Tom]

I mean, you get a cool name out of it, if nothing else. Oh, like Mariguano or something. Yeah, because you gotta have cool names for your marijuana. Sure, they usually sound like Hendrix album covers, but in any event, there was an interesting story. I just read about a. This. These people bought this house and it had an. A very, very heavy bat infestation. This is not a joke. Yeah, and it cost them tens of thousands of dollars to get it cleaned up. There are all kinds of issues about what you're allowed to do.

[Josh]

Yeah, of course. Yeah, it's a mold infestation. Yeah, exactly what it is.

[Chick]

You would hope that an inspector catch that.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah, no kidding.

[Chick]

By the way, while I was up there, I saw dozens of bats.

[Tom]

This was. I think this was thousands. I think actually.

[Josh]

Oh, my God.

[Christy]

You're talking heavy.

[Tom]

I should have given. It was on Belfry Street. Should have given it away.

[Chick]

Absolutely.

[Josh]

I'm guessing they bypass the inspection. You know, some people do.

[Chick]

They will.

[Tom]

Yeah. Don't you think those guys had the idea though, while they were stoned? Wait a minute, man. We can. We can use bat poop? Cool, man.

[Chick]

I think they were just enough. They were educated just enough to get themselves in trouble. They knew that. That, hey, that would probably make good fertilizer. And I don't know.

[Tom]

I know nothing about agronomy or whatever it is, but I would assume that they crazy smart.

[Chick]

Most guys who own pot farms, you'd.

[Josh]

Have to be to make it.

[Chick]

They really know their botany.

[Tom]

It's extraordinarily competitive. So I would think. But. Yeah, I. I don't know. Is. Is it universally known that bat poop is not a good fertilizer?

[Chick]

I don't know.

[Josh]

I don't.

[Christy]

I Know the one guy bought it?

[Josh]

Yeah, online.

[Chick]

What's it for though?

[Josh]

If it's fertilizer, that's what.

[Chick]

I don't know. Oh, they do use it for fertilizer. But these were such close quarters or something.

[Tom]

Well, apparently they didn't take the stuff out of it they were supposed to. Or something went wrong.

[Josh]

Maybe that they are.

[Christy]

Something went wrong.

[Josh]

Maybe some guy in selling it out of his attic too. You don't know where it's coming from.

[Chick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got guano factory.

[Tom]

Essentially.

[Josh]

Doctors are also warning against a new dating trend called snowman.

[Tom]

Now let's see if these guys can guess what this. I read this and I thought this is fake. They made this up?

[Josh]

No, they probably made it up, but it does catch your eye.

[Chick]

Ah, let's see.

[Tom]

It's a. In the world of dating, what would.

[Chick]

What would snowmanning be when you only date white guys? That's a good guess.

[Christy]

That's a real good guess.

[Josh]

But that's not.

[Tom]

We know. We know one show that won't be.

[Josh]

Do you have a guess?

[Chick]

I know no chick.

[Josh]

Do you have a guess?

[Christy]

It's a snowman. He only dresses in a hat and a scarf and he walks around otherwise naked.

[Josh]

That's good. But it's.

[Tom]

Well, maybe if you tell him what movie it's based on, maybe that'll help.

[Josh]

It's Based on the 1982 classic The.

[Chick]

Snowman of that boring, sad, odd cartoon.

[Josh]

After sharing a day of fleeting fun with his new friend, the snowman thaws to nothing but a distant memory.

[Chick]

Do you remember seeing the commercials for There were.

[Josh]

I don't remember this.

[Chick]

They would sell the video for it. I remember as a kid going, oh, who?

[Josh]

There's zero joy because this is right in your wheelhouse. 1982. You were a kid back then, right?

[Chick]

They were always shoving that down our throats. I never wanted to see it.

[Josh]

Well, in the context of dating, Josh, sexual partners simply melt away shortly after a hookup during the holiday season.

[Chick]

This is fantastic.

[Josh]

General Practitioner Dr. Crystal Wiley warned that those who commit snowmanning often disappear without exchanging contact details with their sexual partner. Meaning people could easily and sometimes unknowingly contract and spread std.

[Chick]

Now we'll wait a ruin it doc. This is a perfect scenario.

[Josh]

She urges you, of course, to use contraception during.

[Tom]

So what's the saying? If you have a one night stand at the office party? They're now calling it Snowman. No one's calling it snowman.

[Chick]

Well, I agree. Especially based off.

[Tom]

Based on a 1982 movie.

[Chick]

No one's doing that.

[Tom]

Yeah, you're now 75 doing one night stands at the office party. Hey, Thelma, remember what I used to be able to get hurt?

[Christy]

Why? You didn't even really get hot.

[Tom]

Pat, you got a song about this?

[Chick]

Sure, sure, sure. Oh, Joshi the sidekick is a very horny dude with a bearded face, jar of lube, and an iPhone full of nudes. Oh, Joshi the co host. They say there is no other. Although a pornhub fan with a woman, he can be a thorough and generous lover.

[Tom]

True.

[Chick]

There must have been some DNA in those old socks that they found. His mom put them in the laundry and says, josh, stop jerking around. Joshi the sidekick is as horny as he can be at a one night stand they call snowmanning and got an std.

[Christy]

Worth it.

[Chick]

Yay. Totally worth it.

[Tom]

Ah, nothing like Christmas. Syphilis.

[Chick]

It's beginning to look a lot like syphilis.

[Josh]

At least that gift you can get corrected.

[Tom]

Snowmanning. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

[Josh]

I don't think anyone calls making up a name. Yeah, people hook up during the holidays.

[Tom]

I think snowmanning would be if your boyfriend puts a corn car pipe up. You know what?

[Chick]

There is a.

[Josh]

There is a thing called Snowball, right?

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Well, you know, if you keep doing this, then we're never going to know what exactly you said to get us kicked off. So that's. So that's good. Okay.

[Josh]

You asked earlier how to get this over.

[Tom]

Coming up, we have. We have the. We have. We have something coming up in the world of the live nativity.

[Christy]

Is that right?

[Tom]

Very tough time to rent a camel, by the way. I tried. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Pat]

This is different for me. And maybe I've hit on something. I, I don't know. I don't look quite as white as I used to.

[Josh]

Right.

[Tom]

This has kind of a Wizard of Oz feel.

[Pat]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

[Tom]

Kind of a floating head.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Pat]

And then right behind me there's a picture of me the way I used to look in a suit and stuff. See? So I've got all this stuff. I don't know if you can.

[Chick]

Very cool. Yeah.

[Pat]

You know what this is radio. I keep forgetting.

[Tom]

Okay, well, now there's video stuff too. You are famous for your birthday tributes? Of course I am. December, the birthday of Jesus. That's a big one. I'm not sure if he's on your list, but.

[Pat]

Yeah, he's not. Oh, he's, he's on the list big time.

[Tom]

Okay, good.

[Pat]

But you know what? I was talking to Jason and, and I planned to do a Christmas poem home, but then I decided that it wasn't worth doing. But now that I've looked at it, I've only come up with, with six lines.

[Tom]

Okay, go ahead.

[Pat]

Can I do.

[Tom]

Absolutely Go. Does it have a title?

[Pat]

Vacation? How about. How about. How about Christmas Vacation?

[Tom]

Okay, very good. Go ahead.

[Pat]

All right. Twas the week before Christmas at the radio station, the Bob and Tom show Got prepared for vacation editing all for the best of shows. Finding 46 minutes all ready to go. It's 46 minutes played five times a day for every morning that they are away.

[Tom]

Wow.

[Pat]

Is that nice.

[Tom]

I think it's very generous of you to go with 46. Thank you.

[Pat]

Trying to find a magic number, but. No, no, you. No, you guys. I'm just joking.

[Chick]

We know you're ribbon, but.

[Tom]

Well, we're just. We're hoping this next segment is part of the 46.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

And we'll be the judge of that. So let's go. I don't know.

[Pat]

We'll see what happens.

[Tom]

We're gonna find. You want this. This is the intro music to the birthday segment. Ladies and gentlemen, it's comedian Tim Cavanaugh.

[Pat]

Hey, everybody, it's time once again for Tim Cavanaugh's Cavalcade of celebrity birthdays. I'm Tim. Comedian Tim Cavanaugh. Taylor Swift celebrated her 35th birthday this month. She's given the name Swifties to her legion of fans. So far, that's worked for her. But history shows us that just adding an ies to the end of your name doesn't always end well. Like for Betty White.

[Christy]

Right.

[Pat]

She alienated a lot of people fans. When he started calling them all whitey.

[Chick]

Yes.

[Pat]

And then there was band leader Duke Ellington, who referred to his fan fans as dookies.

[Chick]

Yeah, that's.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

He.

[Pat]

He eventually realized that just one outof control dookie could ruin an entire day.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Golfer Tiger Woods. Should there be more people in here? It's usually another person laughing.

[Tom]

Oh, no, we're all here.

[Pat]

I guess the jokes have to be better.

[Chick]

No, no, no. Just. And remember, this is zoom. We are laughing. You probably just can't hear it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Chick]

All right.

[Pat]

Okay. I'm not gonna worry about it. Go for Tiger Woods. Turns 48 this month. Years ago, Tiger told the press, I don't consider myself black because I'm part black, part Caucasian, part Native American, and part Asian. He said, call me Coblin Asian. Oh, now, I respect that. You know, I have a good friend of mine. His father's in Korea and his mother's from Ghana. He's gonoran.

[Tom]

Well worth it, I think.

[Pat]

He can't get anywhere with.

[Tom]

Nice. Great setup.

[Pat]

Well, thank you very much. Thank you. Okay, well, this is rolling now.

[Christy]

All right.

[Pat]

Isn't it? It is. Actor Ray Liotta, who played Shoeless Joe Jackson in the movie Field of Dreams, would have turned 69 this month. This is a true story. My father in law walked out of Field of Dreams when Shoeless Joe came to the plate and batted right handed instead of left handed as he did in real life. Proving that my father in law was not a fan of allegorical cinema and was a freaking psycho.

[Tom]

That is, by the way, that is true, is it not? Yes, I remember you telling me. That's. That's fantastically funny. God, that's great.

[Pat]

It is. Is. Yeah.

[Tom]

Y'all wouldn't have had it that way. This story is fake.

[Josh]

Really?

[Tom]

You mean the dead guys walking around are fake?

[Christy]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat]

Yeah, it's lot for him to swallow. And the popcorn was also a problem for him. But that's because of the diverticulitis. I'm telling you too much. Born this month, back in 1893, was Mao Tse Tung, chairman of the Chinese Communist Party from 1949 to 1976. Under his brutal rule, life in China changed dramatically. He even had an impact on Buddhism as described in the book. That was Zen. This is Mao. Lala Ali, the daughter of Muhammad ali, is turning 47 this month. Lala is a four time world boxing champion herself who retired with a record of 24 and O. She was born on December 30, four days after the target birth date set by her father, December 26, which of course is Boxing Day.

[Tom]

Kind of a thing in England.

[Christy]

Boxing. Boxing. I don't know.

[Pat]

I don't. My shredder is not on. I'll get to it. Hey. Singer, songwriter Billie Eilish turns 2023 this month. This holiday season, she introduced a new cordial meant to be sipped in front of a cozy fireplace on a warm, wintry night like you would Bailey's Irish Cream. Except this new drink is called Billy's Eilish Cream. Too close. Well, the Bailey's people sure think so. And they're threatening action. But Billy's not backing down. In fact, she wrote this jingle.

[Chick]

Oh.

[Pat]

Our new drink is delightful, but our competitor is spiteful. They say we stole what they do. Well, let him sue. Let him sue. Let him sue.

[Chick]

Very nice.

[Pat]

We'll see what happens.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Pat]

Billie has another new drink. She's launching. It too is a holiday drink celebrating Billy's conception through in vitro fertilization. That's true.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Pat]

It's called Luck of the Eilish Eggnog.

[Tom]

Did she write a jingle for that one? No, she did not.

[Pat]

Not yet. Petri dish sold separately. Actresses Tara Reid and Alyson Hannigan celebrate birthdays this month. They played great roles in the movies American Pie and American Pie 2. Next summer, they'll start in the new Movie American Pie 3.1415959, a movie that I predict will be way too long. American Pie 3.1 math joke.

[Christy]

Got it.

[Pat]

Yeah, it's a math joke.

[Tom]

I I okay, I enjoyed it.

[Pat]

NBR NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo is turning 30 this month. He was born in Greece, which made it difficult for the doctor who delivered him to get a good grip. Giannis's wife, Mariah Riddlespoo. Yes. She's the Wills Briggers from the Hamptons.

[Tom]

Yes.

[Pat]

Was a star volleyball player in college, where she played for Rice. She's getting better meals now since her boyfriend is playing for the Milwaukee bucks.

[Christy]

Right.

[Pat]

At 5:10. Her nickname with the Bucks is Big Dough, which Giannis has always been attracted to because it's big money.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat]

I shouldn't explain some of these. Oh, boy. I don't know if I have the courage. Okay. The great German composer Ludwig van Beethoven was born this month, back in 1778. He began work on his classic Fifth Symphony in 1804. But as Ludwig grew older, his hearing began to deteriorate. By the time he debuted the piece four years later later, his hearing was gone. While everyone is familiar with the melody of this famous work, people are not familiar with the lyrics Beethoven wrote. Oh, they went like this. Everyone knows this, Willy blows. I lost my hearing. Now I'm living with the mimes because I masturbated one too many times. I was told I would go deaf. I need to conduct myself, but not with my own baton.

[Tom]

Really?

[Chick]

You can kind of see why the lyrics faded.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah. It's like those extra verses.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

You don't really get to the. You just do the one. Yeah, I did. I didn't know it caused deafness. I thought it was blindness, but it's okay.

[Pat]

Well, you know what? Times change.

[Chick]

They do. They do. Back then, it was deafness. Yeah.

[Tom]

You know what?

[Pat]

But sometimes I don't think maybe I should do any new jokes, but I'm going to. Hey. Actress B.B. newworth, best known as Lilith on Fraser, turned 64 this month. She has a bunch of brothers and sisters, and her parents named all the kids like they named BB with double letters. For instance, her identical twin sister is named Cece.

[Tom]

Makes sense.

[Pat]

Which does not stand for carbon cop copy, but it could Bibi's older brother, aa, may or may not be a drinker. Nobody knows because it's anonymous. Another brother, ii, is a captain in the merchant marines.

[Chick]

Bb.

[Pat]

BB has a sister, Dee, who they call Double D. She's a stranger stripper. And another sister named ee, who's a porn star. And another sister named ff, who can't stand up straight without toppling over.

[Chick]

Can you guess why EE is a porn star?

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Josh, I'll let you explain all the porn.

[Tom]

That's an E. Cummings joke.

[Christy]

That's right.

[Pat]

That's right.

[Tom]

Spelled with a. You.

[Christy]

If you.

[Pat]

If you see my script, you'll see that the EE is not capital.

[Tom]

Okay. Oh. Oh, even better.

[Chick]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom]

Is that the closer?

[Pat]

No. Well, she has a brother who. Okay, wasn't even the closer.

[Tom]

That show.

[Pat]

Damn joke. For God's sake. Oh, my God. This is.

[Tom]

She's got a brother. What is it?

[Pat]

She has a brother who's in a mental facility. Oh, my gosh. The poor guy thinks he's a bean. The good news is LL had a breakthrough last week when he called himself a human being. A definite step in the right direction.

[Tom]

L.L.

[Chick]

Bean.

[Tom]

Clothing jokes, nobody knows.

[Pat]

And finally, there's her youngest brother, who's enthralled with his own crotch. That, of course, would be P.P.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Thank you, Tim Cavanaugh, ladies and gentlemen.

[Pat]

Is that it?

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

You didn't do Jesus? I thought you had to do Jesus's birthday.

[Pat]

Okay, can I do. Can I do one on Jesus?

[Chick]

Okay, go ahead.

[Pat]

Okay, okay. Some famous people born on Christmas Day have eerie similarities to Jesus. Like Joaquin El Chapo Goose. I mean, El Chapo is a drug lord, while Jesus is the Lord. Rod Serling, the creator of the TV show the Twilight Zone, shared his birthday with Jesus. How are they similar? Well, Jesus and Rod were both great storytellers, and Rod Serling scared the bejesus out of me.

[Tom]

That's a good one. Thank you very much.

[Pat]

All right, all right. I'm just checking to see if there's a real closer here. Oh, born this week? No, this is. This will be it.

[Tom]

And then.

[Pat]

Then I officially will go. Okay, I know.

[Tom]

I'm.

[Pat]

I'm going over time. Born this week, back in 1933 was ventriloquist Sherry Lewis. The story of her sad and untimely death was captured in the bestseller Silence of the Lamb Chop. Well, that wraps up another cavalcade of celebrity birthdays. Till next time. Remember, who needs a calendar when you've got a cabin on?

[Tom]

Thank you very much. Yes. Merry Christmas, Tim.

[Chick]

Thank you very much. Merry Christmas, cookies.

[Pat]

Merry Christmas, you guys.

[Josh]

Thank you for the cookies.

[Tom]

Thank you very much, Chick McGee. Coming up, we have camels, we have the Ten Commandments. We got a tiger, and we've got why you maybe want to retrieve your black plastic utensils that you tossed last week. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Christy]

It's 100 times a zero. What is that? Welcome back to the Bob and Top Show. Christy Lee and Pat Godwin. Josh Arnold, Ace Cosby. Jess Hooker joins us.

[Chick]

Hi.

[Christy]

Hello, Tom.

[Tom]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Christy]

How's it going, buddy?

[Tom]

It's going good. I just. I can't help but notice we have a little bit of pie here. Jess, are you responsible for this?

[Chick]

No way to refer to her in the room.

[Tom]

This looks kind of like a pumpkin pie. It's got what looks like a graham cracker crust and then cream.

[Jess]

That is what it looks like.

[Chick]

All I know is my piece is real small.

[Jess]

Everybody's piece is real small. Because I have never made this.

[Christy]

This is.

[Jess]

This is. I just created this recipe last night. I'm a little nervous.

[Tom]

Have you tried it?

[Jess]

No, I haven't tried anything.

[Chick]

You think just because I don't like something means I don't want a lot of it?

[Tom]

Good point.

[Christy]

Is that Right?

[Tom]

So should we try it and then you'll tell us what it is?

[Jess]

Yeah, if you want to, everybody can take a bite.

[Christy]

All right.

[Chick]

Oh, my God.

[Josh]

It's very good.

[Jess]

It's so good.

[Christy]

Good. So I know what it is.

[Jess]

Yeah. So Jason suggested it because this is a really popular cookie in our green room.

[Christy]

Oh.

[Jess]

Chick will eat a sleeve at a time. It's the Biscoff cookie, which a lot of people call the airplane cookie. Right, Right. So it's a, it's a cinnamon ginger type situation of a cookie. Right.

[Tom]

So the crust is made of that.

[Jess]

So the crust is made of that. But they've come out with, with a biscuit, Biscoff butter, cookie butter, peanut butter.

[Christy]

But it's.

[Chick]

I've had that.

[Jess]

Yeah. And so I thought, well, Nutella was kind of in between. Everybody was like, eh, not so much. And, and Jason said, how about you do the Biscoff pie?

[Christy]

I bought the jar of Biscoff butter.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Christy]

The cookie butter one time.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Christy]

I found myself watching a football game with a spoon just sitting there.

[Chick]

It's one of those things where it's meant to be like a spoonful a day or every other day, but you. It's really hard to really is.

[Tom]

So what is the pie part?

[Jess]

The pie part is just a traditional cream pie in, in a filling, a custard filling. And I use the Biscoff butter.

[Josh]

Very good.

[Jess]

As the flavor.

[Tom]

Fantastic.

[Chick]

It's delicious. But don't sell your Nutella pie short. That we all like that. Yeah.

[Jess]

I just didn't think that it had a lot of. It didn't pack a lot of Nutella.

[Chick]

Flavor, which is why I like.

[Jess]

I know you took the words, you.

[Tom]

Took the words right out of my, my mouth.

[Jess]

Myself. And I know how much everybody loves the Biscoff around.

[Tom]

Are you going to post this recipe? It's very good.

[Jess]

I don't know.

[Tom]

Did you kind of invent this?

[Jess]

I did. I feel like I did. I, I, I didn't see it anywhere else.

[Christy]

Tom. And explain what I'm doing now.

[Tom]

You're licking the plate. It is very, very good.

[Jess]

Good. I'm glad you guys like it. But like I said, I, I have this daydream to release my co cookbook next year. And so I'm, I'm holding on to these recipes.

[Chick]

Very good.

[Jess]

Until I know what ends up in the book.

[Chick]

Hey, Reno can sell a book.

[Jess]

Thanks, buddy.

[Christy]

Oh, boy.

[Tom]

I heard from him yesterday.

[Chick]

Was he thanking you for the Yamaha stakes?

[Tom]

He was. They arrived. I'm I'm calling, although I'm not calling. I'm waiting to hear from the people. I said I sent bunches of them out last week. Now it's time to head back over to the SILAC Insurance news desk where you'll find Christy Lee with her glasses that have no glass in them on right.

[Josh]

A funeral home is about to become the first in Ohio to operate with a buffet. You're close. Guess again.

[Christy]

Dance floor.

[Josh]

I saw this liquor license.

[Chick]

Oh, all right.

[Josh]

WSYX reports the Evergreen Funeral Cremation and Reception in Columbus has applied for the liquor license. If approved, the permit would be a D3, which would allow the sale of beer, wine and hard liquor for consumption on site.

[Tom]

Stands for Dead Dead Dead.

[Josh]

Funeral home spokesman Hunter Triplett stated, my role in this position is to be kind of a party planner for the dead. Be more of a celebration of life than more of the multi day traditional services which cost a lot of money.

[Chick]

I gotcha.

[Josh]

The funeral home will operate in the building that once was a Miramar Chocolate Factory.

[Tom]

Oh, that's kind of happy, I guess.

[Chick]

Sure. Some people really do want just the celebration of life as opposed to. To a traditional.

[Tom]

So that. Would it be like an open bar and an open casket. Would that be the.

[Josh]

I. I guess maybe they could.

[Tom]

Do you want to get cute about? Well, I'm not going to get cute about it, Josh. I'll tell you what, Josh. Not going to get cute about it, but I say Ohio does have on certain levels legal marijuana.

[Chick]

Oh.

[Tom]

So you could do something called wake and bake where you would. Is it. Would it be a good idea? I, I doubt if we're good. To get stoned in front of a corpse might be a little creepy.

[Josh]

What's the difference?

[Tom]

I just think there is a different.

[Chick]

Kind of intoxication there.

[Tom]

Yeah. I.

[Josh]

The deceased doesn't care.

[Tom]

No, no. I'm just saying the, the, the intoxicant might make.

[Chick]

I don't want to get high and then start thinking about more my mortality.

[Tom]

Yeah. Looking at, looking at Uncle Clarence's dead body in it.

[Jess]

I know families that bring alcohol to the funeral home.

[Josh]

Of course. Yeah.

[Chick]

To the funeral home.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Jess]

Yeah, yeah. That's a, that's a pretty standard thing with.

[Tom]

Oh, you can bring in an outside beverage, I guess.

[Josh]

They're not going to stop, I think on where you do it. But yeah.

[Jess]

It's usually in the parking lot, to be honest. Kind of like some, some tailgating.

[Tom]

The good news is if you, if you're overserved, if you will, those funeral Processions, too, typically go relatively slowly.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Jess]

You can get a good nap in.

[Tom]

Yeah. Although I've never understood that thing where they have the police escorts and they're going through all the red lights and.

[Chick]

Oh, they're keeping everybody in the same line.

[Christy]

What do you mean?

[Josh]

Yeah, what do you mean?

[Tom]

What's the rush?

[Josh]

You know?

[Christy]

Well, it's a. It's more about. It's a response.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

You don't want to lose people.

[Christy]

You don't want some guy turning in front of you. Don't listen to him.

[Jess]

How many times do you think he's ended up in a funeral procession that he didn't belong in? Not paying attention.

[Tom]

That's the key. If you're going. If you're going that direction, join in. You know, look, wait a second. This is a slight gap after the Camaro. I'm going for it.

[Chick]

I accidentally did it once and really felt terrible. Yeah.

[Tom]

Why?

[Chick]

It's a. You know, it felt a little disrespectful and I wasn't meaning to be. Of course.

[Christy]

The funeral procession is in your way, correct?

[Tom]

That's correct.

[Christy]

There you go.

[Tom]

And the dead guy's not in a rush. I am.

[Josh]

Sorry.

[Chick]

Maybe.

[Tom]

Maybe it's. Maybe. Maybe it's a dead family and friends or.

[Josh]

Recent study resulted in consumers tossing out their black plastic utensils. We've all talked about this. Back in November, the study raised safety concerns about minute amounts of flame retardant chemicals.

[Chick]

I've been using those things and not.

[Christy]

Holy.

[Tom]

The first symptom is coughing uncontrollably in the middle of a sentence.

[Josh]

The study has now been correct, corrected.

[Chick]

Oh.

[Josh]

After researchers discovered a significant mathematical error. According to Ars Technica. The initial study, which went viral after it was published in November, suggested black plastic kitchen utensils shed 34, 700 nanograms per day of the toxic flame retardant BDE 209.

[Tom]

Did you.

[Josh]

Did you know regular cooking?

[Jess]

I did, yeah. I don't have any. I don't have any.

[Tom]

I. I quite literally tossed all of our.

[Josh]

The study authors missed, though, a zero. And the amount of the toxic levels they reported in the plastic cookware was ten times too high. But despite the error, the study author is going to stand by it. They say does not affect the overall conclusion of my paper. And it states that the flame retardant significantly contaminated the plastic products which have high exposure potential.

[Chick]

Black plastic spatula. What song is a Radiohead for that ass? Oh, fake plastic trees.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Chick]

From the bend.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Don't look at me like that.

[Christy]

McGee, you've gotta get out.

[Jess]

I can tell you that I threw mine away because I think it takes on the flavor of like the dishwashing detergent or this or the dish soap, and I don't like it.

[Chick]

I got you.

[Jess]

I don't really care about any of that, but I just don't.

[Tom]

Well, no, they say that, they say the black plastic ones are made from recycled plastic that can, that includes electronic components melted down that are full of some toxic chemical. So when you, when the spatula hits the hot thing. So if you use them on Teflon, then you're doubling your death chances. But yeah, I, I tossed all mine. Did you mention this honor off the air that you throw away your favorite.

[Josh]

Your mom's favorite spatula because of this, because of all you guys talking about, about this.

[Tom]

So you went online and went on.

[Josh]

I bought another one. I said, screw it. I loved it. I want it back. My kids were pissed off. So I went and found another one and bought it. It was the, it was kind of a. It's an amber colored looking thing.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Tom]

Would you go on to ebay or Etsy or.

[Josh]

Yeah, I think it was Etsy.

[Christy]

Ebay.

[Josh]

One of the two paid 20 bucks for it. That.

[Chick]

Did you have a similar. Throw out your black plastic Teflon. Oh, nothing like, like the plastic drinks.

[Tom]

That was, that was a parody of a song people have heard. Oh, yeah, I know, I know.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Get him, Tom.

[Chick]

Get him. That wasn't a Grammy nominated, huge on everything that year.

[Christy]

I liked High and Dry. I like that.

[Chick]

Oh, maybe I should have done that.

[Christy]

Yeah, maybe you should have done.

[Chick]

I gave you the drinks for the sour persimmons.

[Christy]

No, I gave you the drink. Did you see that? Yeah, maybe you should have done that.

[Chick]

Because I, I, we both gave it to each other.

[Christy]

We both gave us each other every.

[Chick]

Kind of a funny bit. Giving each other the drink.

[Christy]

The drink after every sentence. Amazing punchline. Drink.

[Josh]

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the live Nativity recently.

[Christy]

Everybody Ought to have a Maid in Rhode Island. That's from Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

[Chick]

Great musical.

[Christy]

Great music. Musical.

[Chick]

I like have a comedy tonight a.

[Christy]

Hundred times better than Westside Story or anything you can mention. Everybody ought to have a mate.

[Chick]

Everybody ought to have a working girl.

[Josh]

Firefighters in Rhode island were called out to help a camel in distress.

[Christy]

Hold that thought, Christie. Ladies and gentlemen, radio head and fake plastic trees.

[Chick]

Let's watch Tom's face.

[Christy]

Oh, Tom York with an E. Yes.

[Tom]

Perfect.

[Chick]

Chinese Ro.

[Christy]

Okay, Wait, watch this. I think I might cry. And I love this song.

[Chick]

I know. I do, too. It is so good.

[Tom]

Really lends itself to parody. The fact that the lyrics is about one every 40 seconds.

[Chick]

Oh, it's a movie now.

[Tom]

Another word, please.

[Chick]

Sorry. Okay, sorry. It wasn't a Rudy Valley parody.

[Tom]

Do the Freddy.

[Chick]

Adult brain remembers from yesteryear.

[Christy]

Tell you what, the snow globes are off. You know who could sing that? Al Joseph. Who could sing.

[Tom]

Talking about Black spatula, my ass. Wait a minute.

[Chick]

That Dicky Bash boy.

[Christy]

He could really uac not understand yacht.

[Tom]

Do a parody of a song people have heard. You see, it lends itself.

[Chick]

It was just a silly reference.

[Tom]

I wasn't.

[Ace]

No, no, no.

[Tom]

It was very effective.

[Christy]

Did he do the drink? He did the drink. Very effective drink.

[Tom]

Yeah, Real fun.

[Christy]

Got to do the drink.

[Tom]

Let's get back to this. L. This loose camel.

[Christy]

Oh, no. This is a great report, Tom. It's really good.

[Tom]

This is the. This is the camel renting season. Of course.

[Josh]

The Union fire district of South Kingstown reports the following. The Duty Engine, Engine 21, Hazards 1, and Chief 6, responded to the call of a camel in distress after it got stuck on the side of an incline.

[Christy]

That's a camel in distress.

[Josh]

Henry Cabrera, who owner of Lavender Waves Farm, explained that the camel named Harvey, weighs about 2,000 pounds.

[Christy]

Harvey.

[Josh]

And the orientation of his body on the hill made it mechanically impossible for him to get his body up on his own.

[Christy]

I just did that on purpose.

[Josh]

Cruise on the scene for an hour, helping the animal get back up on his feet. By the way, Harvey is now safe. Well, they've had to use a trust forklift.

[Christy]

I would think I would have helped the camel.

[Tom]

Where.

[Christy]

Where is he? All right.

[Chick]

Got him.

[Christy]

Happy holidays.

[Tom]

£2,000 again.

[Chick]

Wow.

[Tom]

That's Camelot Gamble.

[Chick]

What are you laughing at? Don't you dare laugh at this.

[Tom]

See, that's as long people have heard. Josh. Camelot. Camelot.

[Chick]

That's why we did that story.

[Christy]

Don't get me wrong. I'm wrapped up in this, and I hope people are listening. But the worse we are, the funnier, I think.

[Tom]

I'll tell you just. Camelot. A famous musical. You see, during the Kennedy years, John F. Kenning went to see it, and they. They thought that was a Camelot. You see?

[Chick]

Sweating.

[Tom]

Yeah. Great, great, great big hit song. Everyone's heard Camelot made a distant moon ago here. Yes.

[Chick]

We have to do a joke for people.

[Tom]

Why can't a woman be more like a man?

[Josh]

That in my face lady.

[Tom]

Sorry. Right Now I want to congratulate once again Edward Bonilla from Strothers, Ohio. Perfect week. One of 16 with a perfect week, is that correct? No, 13. I had a perfect week.

[Christy]

Talking to yourself.

[Tom]

But he had the, he had the tiebreakers. Congratulations. We'll be talking to him tomorrow, I hope, for the shoeing of the week. Yeah, he won the Bob and Tom pigskin picks competition. Gets himself that Steven singer Joe Jeweler's $500 gift certificate.

[Josh]

Oh, what can he get with those $500?

[Tom]

Well, he could get, among other things, he'd get a couple pairs of those Anita diamond stud earrings, more or less. They're about 298. So he can get one and a half. Maybe.

[Josh]

[Christy]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're all here. I have a special piece here for Tom.

[Chick]

Oh, oh.

[Christy]

Do you remember 60s commercials, Tom?

[Tom]

Of course.

[Christy]

Well, some of them 60s toy commercials.

[Tom]

Oh yeah.

[Christy]

I saw this and I, I didn't remember this as at all but it was, I assure you, an actual commercial that existed. And it was for a at the time marketed to little girls who like dolls.

[Josh]

Yeah, okay.

[Christy]

And. Well, let's give it a listen.

[Josh]

Listen to Remco's Baby Laugh a Lot.

[Tom]

You're listening to Baby Laugh a Lot.

[Chick]

She's the funniest doll you've ever seen. Just push the button and she starts to giggle.

[Jess]

That's terrifying.

[Christy]

Get Baby Laugh A Lot. My rc.

[Tom]

Yeah, I don't think that took off.

[Christy]

Yeah, I don't think.

[Chick]

All gone insane.

[Tom]

Yeah, take. Take that on a plane. Simulate.

[Christy]

Is it any wonder we're all sitting here like this?

[Chick]

How many angry f. There's twisted baby left?

[Tom]

I do remember.

[Chick]

No way.

[Josh]

A mom bought that for her.

[Tom]

I do remember Remco.

[Josh]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Tom]

I think they had some successful products. I don't know how that one did.

[Christy]

And they had a poor. A poor baby that didn't have any clothes or anything and had one tear coming out.

[Chick]

No.

[Christy]

Yes, they did.

[Chick]

Yes, I believe you because you're.

[Christy]

Yes. And they. And she was wearing a burlap dress with a little heart on it. Yeah, there. There was a baby poor thing or something.

[Tom]

I think one of. One of the. The saddest premises, if not the worst. There was a show called Queen for a Day.

[Christy]

Yes.

[Tom]

And they would have, as I recall, three contestants, and they would each tell their sob story and then they would vote on which was the saddest, and that person would win whatever. A speed queen, washing machine or something.

[Jess]

I would take one of those.

[Tom]

Honestly, I mean, it was so horrifying.

[Chick]

What era was that? 70s, 60s, 60s.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Tom]

It was just so, so awful.

[Jess]

And they would give them a crown and a scepter. Yeah, the whole thing. Oh, yeah, it was bad.

[Tom]

But for all their terrible luck.

[Christy]

And yeah, it had a host. Hi, I'm Jake McGay for Queen for a Day. The one who had the worst story got the most prizes. Yeah.

[Jess]

Is that. Was that like a middle of the day thing?

[Tom]

Yeah. If you. If you were. If you were homesick from school and then after all the cool stuff was over, then the soap opera was what were on each channel that ruined everything, made you want to go back to school. But yeah, man, they. Can you imagine if they did that? The fact that it was a competition?

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Tom]

You know. Oh, your horrifically sad story isn't quite as horrifically sad as hers.

[Jess]

Get on social media. That's exactly what's happening most of the time.

[Christy]

Created by people created by Hasbro in the 60s. She's Little Miss Homeless Girl.

[Tom]

No, it's even worse than we thought.

[Christy]

It's. It's way worse than any of Us thought. Yes. Let me.

[Tom]

Little Miss Homeless. Well, today would be. They. They would update it.

[Christy]

I'm sorry, Little Miss no Name.

[Tom]

It would be up.

[Chick]

She was so unloved. She hasn't even been named.

[Christy]

And he had. The doll had those big eyes like in those famous paintings.

[Josh]

Oh, my.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

Yeah. Barefoot and one. One tear coming out of one of the eyes.

[Jess]

That's a horror film waiting to happen.

[Josh]

Yeah, it is. And they're expensive if you want to buy one.

[Chick]

Well, ironic.

[Josh]

Yeah. $1,212.

[Christy]

There's a still from the commercial.

[Chick]

You would absolutely think you were looking at something from a horror film if you saw.

[Tom]

Yeah, that looks like one of the things from that horror Christmas animated claymation thing.

[Jess]

Nightmare Before Christmas.

[Tom]

Yeah, Nightmare Before Christmas.

[Christy]

And remember, she doesn't have a name, so you can name her.

[Josh]

Saddest thing ever.

[Tom]

But maybe it's true, you know, she's.

[Jess]

An orphan and she's.

[Tom]

Yeah, see? So you're gonna get. You're gonna get a young girl who's gonna. To grow up to marry a bass player so she can take care of him for life. Oh, there you go. Now, we had the news story about the. About the camel on its way to Nativity.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

That the fire department had to come rescue the thing.

[Josh]

Right.

[Tom]

Apparently it fallen off, and we were trying to come up with a parody song for it, and Josh had a couple nice, nice suggestions.

[Chick]

It was about plastic wear.

[Tom]

Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. I thought it was about. Well, because I thought. Oh, look. Because we concluded by saying that the camel weighs. I didn't know this. A £2,000.

[Josh]

Well, yeah, camels are huge.

[Tom]

So I'm sure when the fire department arrived there, they. They said, well, that's pretty heavy. Camelot. Remember this one?

[Chick]

All right, first off, turn it the hell down.

[Christy]

That's not even a. What did you say?

[Tom]

I just wanted to. So, Jess, that was a huge hit, I believe. Is that. Is that Richard Burton?

[Josh]

Yes. Musical.

[Tom]

That.

[Jess]

Right.

[Tom]

The Camelot was famous because President Kennedy went to see it. And then they called his. His era. The era of Camelot.

[Jess]

I did not know that that's why they called the Kennedys and the Camelot. I didn't know that was the tie.

[Chick]

I kind of doubt that it was. That had you.

[Tom]

Richard Burton was sober when he. To that at all.

[Chick]

He had some issues. These are. These are all the best jokes of 1966.

[Christy]

No, no, no.

[Tom]

65.

[Josh]

Let's talk about something that's going on right now, actually.

[Tom]

That one.

[Josh]

62 New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy says drone detecting devices deployed in a state have found little to no evidence of anything nefarious. And Speaking to reporters, Mr. Murphy declined to go into detail about the detection equipment.

[Chick]

He did say, have we gotten to the. What the story is at all?

[Josh]

No, no, no.

[Jess]

It's a big nothing burger, man.

[Josh]

He did say it was disable the drones, although he noted that that's not legal on US Soil.

[Chick]

But we still don't know what is being.

[Josh]

We don't know what we're doing. We don't know what we're dealing with.

[Tom]

They made. They made it legal to fly drones at night.

[Josh]

Yes.

[Tom]

And now who knows what's up there? But now there are people that have their own drones looking for drones.

[Christy]

That's a. That's a recent law.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Oh.

[Josh]

Federal officials have repeatedly said there are no signs that any drone operators have shown bad intent, nor is there evidence of foreign involvement.

[Chick]

So they just can't.

[Josh]

But they can't shoot them down. I mean, there's no collateral damage.

[Tom]

Well, we shot down the drone, but took up the mall.

[Josh]

Right?

[Tom]

A good thing it wasn't the food court. We just took out a Spencer's Gifts.

[Jess]

Do you guys have a drone?

[Chick]

No, I don't own a drone call. I have a drone.

[Tom]

Oh, we have a hotline.

[Chick]

Hello.

[Christy]

Bob and Tom show.

[Ace]

Long time listener, first time caller. This Danny.

[Chick]

Hi, Danny.

[Ace]

I heard you guys talk about them drones over New Jersey.

[Tom]

Yeah. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

[Ace]

Yeah, I've been trying to shoot one down for the last four nights. I'm trying everything. Roman candles, slingshots. Last night I tried a boomerang. Took out my neighbor's cat.

[Josh]

Oh, no.

[Ace]

Yeah, I bet you it's an indoor cat from here on out. I'll tell you this. If I do get one down, taking it straight to the pawn shop, trading it for one of those authentic Pat Godwin guitars.

[Chick]

There you go.

[Ace]

I've been talking to a lot of people around here. My cousin Mike thinks it's just HOA code enforcement drums.

[Chick]

Oh, sure.

[Ace]

I think maybe Santa has gone techno. You. You understand what I mean?

[Chick]

I do indeed. That was a hit.

[Ace]

Forget the reindeer and sleigh who needs them when you got elves making drones by the dozen? Now you got Santa's drones out at night Checking the list, see who's nice. Here comes Santa's drones Here comes Santa's drones Right across the Jersey sky Pat, you can use that.

[Chick]

I like it. I like it.

[Ace]

I don't know. I think it's possible that Pimpin has Been brought up to the 21st century. These pimps could be out using drones, keeping track of their ho ho ho at night. That's why you only see them at night.

[Christy]

All right, I gotta run.

[Ace]

I gotta finish this potato gun today so I can take out me a drone tonight.

[Josh]

Okay, Good luck, Danny.

[Tom]

Okay, thank you.

[Jess]

That barely sounded like Jeff.

[Tom]

Right?

[Jess]

Just didn't sound like him that much.

[Christy]

Wow, that was good.

[Chick]

Who's this Jeff.

[Tom]

Referencing?

[Chick]

Can you wait till we go to commercial.

[Tom]

Referencing techno Santa? Yikes.

[Chick]

Techno claws.

[Tom]

Oh, sorry. Techno claws.

[Christy]

I keep forgetting that was a big hit. Remember that?

[Tom]

We should hear that again. It might not have been funny, but at least it was Long joke. Oh, there's. At least there's one there. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy]

Reach us toll free at 1-888-bobtom1 [e-mail]. this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Tom]

Special spot.

[Christy]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom]

Yeah, I got limitations. I'm just trying. I'm just trying to plug the show.

[Christy]

You know what we haven't done in a while? Here's what we needed. And Josh Arnold. Ladies.

[Chick]

Oh, my gosh, he's here.

[Josh]

Thank you.

[Chick]

Thank you very much. Oh, I sure appreciate that.

[Christy]

I hope, Josh, I don't want to put you on the spot here. Yeah.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

But I hope you have one of your amazing stories from being a celebrity for so long out there in Hollywood.

[Chick]

How it is, you go out there, people recognize you.

[Christy]

Now, didn't you have a story about you? You were at the valet one day and you know there was a mix up with your. With your car?

[Chick]

That's right.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Chick]

I gave him my keys and he said, hey, well, we got you taken care of. And I ate dinner, of course. Back out. And I said, hey, I need my. My car. And the guy said, oh, sure. Just one minute, Mr. Clooney. Can you imagine? He's got to be somewhere else. He really had me. I got to get out of here, don't you.

[Tom]

You called room service. And I did.

[Chick]

I did.

[Tom]

How'd that go?

[Chick]

Well, I called room service. I said, hey, I'll tell you what, I'll have a double cheese.

[Christy]

Ladies and gentlemen, Josh Arnold is here.

[Tom]

Now.

[Christy]

Didn't you call room service one time, Josh? Did that happen? Yeah, yeah.

[Chick]

Oh, yeah. I said, hey, double cheeseburger, please. Maybe a slice of that apple pie. And why don't you put a slice of cheddar on the apple pie? I'll be damned if that they didn't come up and they just put an extra slice of cheese on the burger, not on the pie.

[Christy]

Another amazing story from Hollywood.

[Chick]

Thank you.

[Tom]

That's good.

[Chick]

I gotta go.

[Tom]

Okay. Thank you very much.

[Chick]

I hope somebody was listening for the very first time.

[Jess]

Okay, let's.

[Tom]

Let's get to it here we have Christy Lee over there. She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. What's happening?

[Josh]

A video captured in India is going viral after showing a tiger breaking through a man's bathroom wall. Hello. Boy, there's a tiger in your tank.

[Chick]

You know, if you were constipated.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

If the timing is everything.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

At least you're already on the bowl, I guess.

[Josh]

Taken by a resident in Varanasi while he was using the toilet. The camera pans to a tiger's head and its two front paws peeking through a large hole in the wall. The animal attempts to wiggle through the hole, but instead licks its paws and dips back out.

[Chick]

Do you have any paper? I'm out. Over here. No. Okay.

[Christy]

Hello? Can you help a tiger out?

[Josh]

Man, I'd move.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah. There. Oh, here's the video.

[Josh]

There we go.

[Tom]

There you go.

[Chick]

Look at that.

[Josh]

Oh, my God.

[Chick]

Look at that tiger.

[Jess]

Oh, my God.

[Christy]

Hey, how's it going?

[Josh]

Wow.

[Christy]

Hey, you guys got any nice towels?

[Josh]

And it kind of looks like a public bath.

[Chick]

I wish we could hear the audio.

[Christy]

Look how adorable that tiger.

[Chick]

I know, but, man, I was thinking too. Yeah.

[Tom]

Who has a giant hole in the wall of their bathroom?

[Chick]

Like, I think India.

[Christy]

I think Indian construction. That stands that. Okay.

[Tom]

That's what you do.

[Christy]

Breezeway.

[Tom]

Thank you very much.

[Josh]

Two joggers were attacked by a dive bombing owl recently.

[Tom]

Who?

[Josh]

Son of a. Oh, my God. Ms. Hannah Bale told the CBS she was running along Halifax's popular Chain of Lakes trail when an owl swooped down and grabbed her ponytail. Mr. David Reagan was also jogging on the same trail when he felt something grab the top of his head.

[Christy]

We couldn't get to it. It's time. What was the guy's name?

[Josh]

David Reagan.

[Chick]

Nancy.

[Josh]

He felt something grab the top of his head.

[Tom]

Tear down this wall.

[Chick]

Don't tear down the wall. There's a tiger.

[Josh]

He quickly realized it was an owl. Neither were seriously injured in the attacks. It is thought the owl can be mistaking a pom pom or a ponytail for a prey item. Like a rodent on your head.

[Christy]

Hey, rat head.

[Tom]

Maybe that's a sign to get. To get rid of the man bun. Maybe if. If they mistake for.

[Christy]

Wasn't there a husband who was Arrested for killing his wife. And they didn't believe him. That an owl took her head off.

[Chick]

Was that the staircase? Yeah, I only heard about that.

[Christy]

They were in the. They were in the hot tub and she went into the. She went into the house. House to change or something.

[Tom]

Did they ever figure out what? They don't know.

[Christy]

Right. I think an owl was the explanation.

[Josh]

Didn't it come through the chimney or something and came down through the fireplace.

[Jess]

And ripped her head off?

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Christy]

That's the way they kill their predator.

[Tom]

There was. There was a lot going on.

[Chick]

It was just trying to tell her that she was accepted into Hogwarts. And.

[Josh]

He didn't go to prison for that, did he?

[Christy]

I don't know.

[Tom]

That was a.

[Josh]

That was a movie.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Christy]

I forget what podcast.

[Jess]

So he like scalps them.

[Josh]

You know what? I didn't have to come back today. I could have stayed home.

[Tom]

Have you ever seen. Have you ever seen the video? There's a slow motion video of an owl.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Coming right at the camera. And it. It at the end, you realize how terrifying it is at the end.

[Josh]

Well, as Chick has said, their legs are like six feet long. They just hide them underneath their body.

[Chick]

Well, they're not six.

[Christy]

Owls sit like catchers. That's how you see them. They are on their knees.

[Jess]

Have you seen them sleep? They lay down.

[Chick]

Yes. That's where you can see their legs. Oh, okay.

[Jess]

Yeah. But they just like. They just. They just like laying on their bellies. Looks like they're dead.

[Christy]

Yeah. Just laying h. Something else.

[Josh]

The world's oldest known crocodile in the news today celebrated his 124th birthday this week.

[Tom]

Wow.

[Josh]

And didn't make it on Tim Cavanaugh's list of birthdays.

[Christy]

We got to call.

[Josh]

Old 124.

[Tom]

Wow. It's been a while.

[Chick]

It has been a while. Crocodile.

[Josh]

According to. Oh, my God. You're just.

[Christy]

Pat.

[Chick]

What song did this?

[Christy]

It's Been a while.

[Chick]

I remember when I was young.

[Christy]

So much fun. And you'll have to look a long way to find a bigger Elton John fan than me and Pat. But you go watch that Disney plus Elton John documentary. It's. Have some Kleenex. It's really sad.

[Tom]

Masturbate. He's. Yeah, that's it. Josh.

[Christy]

He's not doing well. It's. Yeah.

[Jess]

What's wrong with them?

[Christy]

He's just, you know, old 78.

[Tom]

He's got severe vision issues. Yeah, he's. And right now I believe he can't read. His. His eyesight is so bad. He's got some kind of surgical issues they're doing.

[Josh]

According to live science, Henry, the Nile crocodile has none of those issues and has lived at the Croc World Conservation center in Scottburg, South Africa since 1985. Though he was originally captured in Botswana in 1903, the crocodile is said to have fathered over 10,000 offspring with numerous partners since he arrived at the center. While his exact birthday is unknown, Crock world representatives estimate he was born around 1900.

[Chick]

It's an estimate.

[Josh]

And they celebrate his birthday on December 16th.

[Tom]

They caught him in what, 1903?

[Josh]

Yeah. So he has to be.

[Tom]

That's kind of amazing. Oh, well, it's like those giant tortoises that they've. You know, they got a picture of Darwin standing next to one.

[Jess]

His is still alive, right? Darwin's tortoise. Yeah.

[Chick]

Well, the lineage is right.

[Jess]

No, I thought it was the actual turtle.

[Tom]

Isn't that critter still around?

[Chick]

No kidding.

[Christy]

No, the actual. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Tom]

And this is the video for the.

[Chick]

1600S when Darwin was.

[Tom]

They're saying he's a 200 and some years old. 1600s.

[Christy]

What you said.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah, That's. That's the hundreds part. The.

[Christy]

You know, we. I. I don't know if Tom and I have ever more passionately agreed on something. Neither one of us can talk to you anymore.

[Josh]

Darwin stortis died in 2006.

[Tom]

Oh, I didn't mean.

[Chick]

Sorry.

[Christy]

See?

[Chick]

See what I mean?

[Josh]

I'm sorry.

[Christy]

What's the matter?

[Josh]

He died in 2006.

[Tom]

This alligator is 124. They estimate that.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Christy]

How did I let 18 years get away from.

[Josh]

I don't know, baby.

[Tom]

They didn't give him a case. Cake.

[Chick]

They.

[Tom]

They gave him an old sea captain to eat. So it feels nice, you know.

[Christy]

Are we having to getting the old gang back together? No, we're gonna feed you to a turtle. You know, with my hair and. I could have sworn you said you're feeding me to a turtle.

[Tom]

Oh, that. Crocodile.

[Christy]

Crocodile.

[Chick]

Oh, boy.

[Christy]

I had it all wrong. Well, that can't happen.

[Tom]

Wait a minute.

[Josh]

Would you rather be eaten by a turtle or a crocodile?

[Chick]

Oh, crocodile for sure.

[Josh]

Turtle take forever.

[Chick]

Death by a thousand. Paper cuts.

[Tom]

Are they. Are they trying to increase the crocodile population?

[Josh]

I don't.

[Tom]

In captivity, they said he's raised 10,000.

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Tom]

Baby crocs. I didn't know there was a problem.

[Josh]

I'm. I don't live in South Africa. Maybe it's just in South Africa they have been the.

[Tom]

He's fathered 10,000 baby crocodiles.

[Chick]

What a smart ass. I don't live in South Africa.

[Tom]

My God.

[Josh]

My God.

[Chick]

Okay, show is eating itself now.

[Christy]

I might be having trouble with some co workers I I'm working with.

[Tom]

When we come back, come up with a question. Josh will say just it's about communication, knowing when to say shut up. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Christy]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. Christy Lee's here. Pat Godwin, Jess Hooker.

[Jess]

Hi.

[Christy]

Hello, Josh, Arnold, Ace Cosby, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom]

Hello, Chick. A couple letters.

[Christy]

All right.

[Tom]

Very important.

[Josh]

Okay.

[Tom]

Sometimes I can't think of a word.

[Josh]

Yeah, sometimes now it is.

[Tom]

Sure. You're trying to do something, trying to describe something and it's, it's a jumble of stuff in your head and you just, you just kind of do a, a short form description of what the thing is.

[Christy]

You'd go into radio.

[Tom]

Yeah, of course. Got this one, a nine year old, she was talking about the Christmas decorations in her room. She couldn't come up with the word nativity.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Tom]

So she said she was putting together her Jesus village.

[Chick]

Oh, sure. Sweet. That is sweet.

[Tom]

This one, this is from Terry who writes. There was a picture of an astronaut. And my daughter chimed in, oh, hey, there's a space angel, a nice little lady.

[Christy]

Oh, they're still trapped up there, right? They got them coming down.

[Josh]

They got moved.

[Tom]

They just, they just announced this morning that they're going to be there another extra month.

[Josh]

Yep, yep.

[Christy]

So I think it's love. That's what I think.

[Tom]

Yeah, I know they're doing great.

[Christy]

I don't want to come back down.

[Tom]

They're healthy and having, having a good time. They became astronauts to go up to space.

[Josh]

They're having a good time because they just.

[Tom]

I just saw an interview with them.

[Jess]

What happened? I missed it.

[Josh]

They went up on the star.

[Tom]

Yeah, go ahead, tell them.

[Josh]

Yeah, they went up on a spare metal rocket and there was some issues about bringing them back. So they left them on the space station and they won't be able to come back. Well, I thought it was February. Has it been moved back to March?

[Tom]

I think they just moved it. I just heard this morning they moved it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Jess]

And they're both astronauts. Yeah, male and a woman pay for it.

[Tom]

But then there's, there's a crew up there as well.

[Josh]

Yeah, there is a crew. Oh, they're not there by themselves.

[Tom]

They're waiting for enough seats. There was some concern that one of them they thought looked like she hadn't been eating or something. They, she's fine. Interview with her. They, they, they say, you okay? They have to. They're on like this space treadmill for a couple hours a day and they.

[Josh]

Lose so much money, muscle mass up there.

[Tom]

It'd be rough. But they'll be back.

[Josh]

Of course they'll be back. They're not gonna leave them up there forever.

[Christy]

Well.

[Tom]

Kind of like an overdue library book after a while, just kind of forget about them. Yeah.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Time now for a pallet cleanser. It's been the last, rough last few minutes.

[Chick]

Sure.

[Tom]

So let's, let's just try this. See if we all feel better. Here he is with his joke of the day.

[Chick]

Hey, chick. Yeah.

[Christy]

Say now.

[Chick]

Earlier, we were talking about the snowmen.

[Christy]

But we haven't talked about snow ladies. Oh. What's the difference between snowman and snow lady?

[Chick]

Oh, boy. I'm gonna write it down.

[Tom]

Say it on three. One, two, three.

[Christy]

Snowballs.

[Josh]

Brought to you by Omaha Steak. Say 50 off gifts from Omaha Steaks go to OmahaSteaks.com and use promo code BTS for an extra $30 off minimum purchase. May apply.

[Chick]

Amazing setup. Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh]

We are right on board with you there, buddy.

[Tom]

Yeah. I'll find this astronaut. Story it.

[Jess]

I'm so sorry.

[Tom]

They've been suspended in space for six months. They're expecting another delay as of they'll come back in late March.

[Christy]

Now, he continued.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Have we talked about who'd go to space here? Would you go?

[Chick]

I would.

[Jess]

Tom, would you go to space?

[Tom]

No.

[Jess]

Okay.

[Tom]

Terrible claustrophobia. I can barely get on.

[Josh]

No, no, no, Chicky.

[Christy]

I go.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Christy]

Yeah. I think I'd go. Christy.

[Josh]

No, I'm too claustrophobic.

[Chick]

Too Patty G. No way.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Christy]

Would, you know, imagine Pat just, I don't know, touching a button or something. Like Homer on the space shuttle.

[Chick]

My dad made it very clear when we were growing up, he would tell us this at least once a year. Just so you know, if, like, at the end of Close Encounters, the spaceship comes down and I have the chance to get on and go, I am going.

[Jess]

Yeah, okay.

[Chick]

He let us know that he would completely abandon us.

[Josh]

That's a different thing.

[Chick]

To go see Alien.

[Jess]

Oh, I would go with Alien.

[Chick]

I know it's a different thing, but it's interesting.

[Christy]

Space travel.

[Tom]

A lot of hostility today.

[Chick]

I don't hate you.

[Tom]

Primarily directed at Christie.

[Chick]

I hate that you hate me.

[Josh]

I don't hate you.

[Christy]

You know what I hate?

[Chick]

Prove it by kissing me.

[Tom]

Well, I don't know what just happened. Can we go? Do you want to go start drinking again? Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance news desk. What's happening over there?

[Josh]

He sawtheby's is set to auction off what may be the world's oldest stone version of the Ten Commandments.

[Chick]

Huh?

[Josh]

The New York Times reports the tablet, which dates to 300 to 800 AD, had once been used as a paving stone. The story, as told by its discoverer, Jacob Kaplan, in 1943, goes like this.

[Tom]

What song is that?

[Chick]

You don't know the Monkeys?

[Tom]

No, I know that's not the right melody. You mean Bab.

[Chick]

That's probably more accurate.

[Christy]

You were. You were doing the big ending.

[Chick]

You back.

[Christy]

I'm not tr.

[Tom]

Step. I take it back. Yeah, you did go right to the end. Yes. Okay.

[Christy]

That's fine.

[Tom]

That's fine. It's better than the other one.

[Christy]

We should play some Monkeys. We should play some Monkeys one morning. That'd be fun.

[Josh]

You don't love the Monkeys.

[Jess]

I don't.

[Tom]

Oh, they have some great songs.

[Chick]

I love them. We should have him in here, you know.

[Josh]

Well, there's only one left.

[Chick]

That's.

[Tom]

That's his joke.

[Christy]

You know, Stepping Tabbinstone's one of the best songs, I think. Right?

[Chick]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy]

Is that the first?

[Chick]

No, that's Mickey.

[Josh]

Oh, Mickey Dolenz did all the good songs, didn't he? Well, not even though I love Davy Jones.

[Tom]

Daydream Believers.

[Chick]

You guys remember when Mel Brooks came down with the. The three tablets?

[Christy]

I have these 15 crash.

[Josh]

This particular stone was found in 1913 when a railway was being built. And now, what is southern Israel carved in? Paleo Hebrew, the massive slab significance went unrecognized and was used as a paving stone at a home.

[Chick]

Wow.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Wow.

[Josh]

That's Selby Kefer. Yikes.

[Tom]

Get to the pearly gates with that.

[Josh]

So said the text is still legible, though it is most worn in the middle where people walked across it. The auction house estimates the item will sell for between one and two million dollars.

[Tom]

That's.

[Chick]

I mean, because the original regional are in the ark. Right? Weren't the Ten Commandments put into the.

[Christy]

Ark and the Ark of the Covenant? Not the Ark, not Noah's Ark.

[Chick]

Right, right. The Ark of the Covenant.

[Josh]

We don't know where the Ark of the Covenant's buried though, right?

[Chick]

Right. Well, it's in a warehouse in Tunisia.

[Josh]

People are still looking for it.

[Tom]

That's good.

[Chick]

That was St. Louis.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Jess]

I thought it was in Tennessee.

[Chick]

I got it in the Arch of the Covenant.

[Tom]

By the way, they're not in English, so you gotta.

[Josh]

Oh, no.

[Tom]

It might be hard.

[Chick]

If there were 15 commandments originally, let's say.

[Tom]

Yeah. What would you add?

[Chick]

Yes. What do you hope was on there that you. You would.

[Tom]

Something about bad WI fi at airports, I think.

[Chick]

Coffee?

[Christy]

What if you. What if we find out that not wasn't in any of the original commandments? It was just a to do list instead of a do not list.

[Josh]

That'd be interesting.

[Christy]

How about that? Did I just blow your mind?

[Tom]

Would be ironic if you coveted the ten Commandments, wouldn't it?

[Christy]

No.

[Chick]

It sure was.

[Tom]

So whoever buys it's going to be coveting them and. Wow. There you go.

[Josh]

A new study for that at one.

[Tom]

Of the car dealers.

[Josh]

What?

[Christy]

What? Shall not covet my deals?

[Tom]

Thou shalt not cover your neighbor's Oldsmobile. Wasn't that what it was?

[Christy]

I don't think they had car dealers then, did they?

[Jess]

Sure they did. Camel dealers.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Josh]

A new study from the University of Oxford shows that Bronze Age Britons may have butchered and possibly eaten their enemies.

[Chick]

Wow.

[Josh]

The remains of 37 men, women and children were discovered. Discovered at the early Bronze Age of Charterhouse Warren in the 90s.

[Tom]

It's like those. It's like those little carrots.

[Josh]

Recent analysis of over 3, 000 human bones and bone fragments showed the individuals likely suffered a violent death from blunt force trauma.

[Tom]

This is in what is now England.

[Josh]

Numerous cuts. Numerous cut marks suggest they were intentionally butchered and may have been partially eaten. Eaten? Researchers believe the aggressors cannibalized their enemies with animal remains to dehumanize them and link liken them rather to animals because it was England.

[Tom]

They think that they use their genitals as actual tea bags. They. They really love their.

[Chick]

What?

[Josh]

I love their tea.

[Tom]

Oh, they're teabagging with actual.

[Chick]

I'm not your stepping stone.

[Christy]

No, no, not me. Not me. No.

[Chick]

No.

[Tom]

All right.

[Christy]

And Mickey, Mickey gets mad here at the beginning.

[Tom]

He does?

[Christy]

Yeah, he does. Oh, yeah. Here comes.

[Pat]

You're using all the tricks that you used on.

[Tom]

Oh, he's mad.

[Christy]

You're reading all them high fashion magazines. The clothes you're wearing.

[Chick]

That's good. Who's on the organ?

[Tom]

Some secession guy.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Tom]

Probably. Probably Al Cooper or something.

[Christy]

Don Kushner, huh?

[Tom]

This is. I, I, I always get these stories about they've got a bunch of bones and they see the marks on them and conclude that they were. They're drawing a lot of conclusions from not a lot of evidence, I think, as chicks. And how do they know how the bones go together? But thing that they, they knew this was. This is in what is now England.

[Chick]

Yes.

[Tom]

And they knew that.

[Christy]

Hold it.

[Tom]

Write it down. This is, Write it down.

[Christy]

This is a setup, though.

[Tom]

Yes.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Christy]

All right, fair enough. If you're honest enough to tell me. I'm honest enough.

[Tom]

This was in England.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Tom]

They.

[Christy]

Yep.

[Tom]

Because as Christy indicated, there were, there were marks on.

[Pat]

Right.

[Tom]

There were marks on the bones where they'd been chewed on. And they knew that they were, they were predecessors of the English people because they all had bad teeth.

[Chick]

I wrote down crooked bite marks.

[Tom]

Yeah. Okay, Very good.

[Chick]

Oh, and you know what?

[Jess]

He warned us about this joke at lunch yesterday.

[Chick]

Yeah. You sat with us and said, you have a real good one.

[Jess]

He goes, I got a real good bad teeth joke. British bad teeth joke for tomorrow.

[Chick]

Well, now it's completely unforgivable.

[Jess]

That's what he.

[Chick]

Yes, if you think about it. If you. If that was just off the top of your head and you. And you shat it out.

[Christy]

Right.

[Tom]

Well, because we had the story yesterday and I thought about. I was so happy with it because I love the bad tooth.

[Christy]

He. He works on this stuff.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Chick]

No wonder he gets so mad when we don't laugh.

[Tom]

You're not laughing. I'm just sad that you don't understand. It's known as a running gag, a trope by now on this show. Anything about English, we will England. We will always, always have fine teeth. That's because she's an American.

[Chick]

Oh, you know what? I didn't consider that. Well, is her bow a Englishman?

[Tom]

No, none of this is her daughters. Her daughters have nice teeth too, because they went to an orthodontist. I had them straightened. So she has English. They have English blood. Therefore, terrible dental hygiene. Low in the. Low in the total.

[Josh]

An ancient pyramid that was discovered in Mexico will be reburied due to lack of funds. Funding, some good science. According to archaeology.

[Tom]

This looks like a lot of. Looks like a lot of work. Buried again. We gotta. We got a mall to build.

[Josh]

The structure was uncovered during highway construction.

[Tom]

And we got a road to build.

[Josh]

Dubbed San Miguel. Dates back more than a thousand years.

[Christy]

Why don't they just have it part of the highway?

[Josh]

While the site has been documented, financial constraints have limited further exploration. It will be reburied for better preservation.

[Jess]

Yeah, it's the safest place for it. Right?

[Chick]

It'll be better preserved this way.

[Tom]

Yeah, yeah, but it's under an off ramp to a freeway.

[Christy]

Well, good enough for Jimmy Hoffa. Good enough. All right.

[Tom]

Okay, okay. The cartel would step up and. Hey, a little science here. Come on.

[Josh]

Here's a sad story out of China. A guy was trapped in an abandoned well for three days after his crush for help. Were initially mistaken for those of a screaming ghost.

[Chick]

They just thought it was a go.

[Christy]

All right. No, did you say goat or ghost?

[Chick]

Oh, don't worry about that. That's just the ghost.

[Tom]

If you lived in some Chinese village. First of all, we'll keep. Keep reading, Christine.

[Josh]

Universal Daily News in Thailand reported the incident took place near the Thailand Miramar border where villagers heard strange cries from a nearby forest.

[Tom]

When I saw this article. I thought the word villagers. I always think of the same thing. Which is the movie Frankenstein.

[Josh]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

When I hear villagers, I see torches. Torches. People screaming in the streets.

[Chick]

Yeah.

[Tom]

Running.

[Josh]

Rescue personnel were eventually dispatched and they soon located a Chinese man at the bottom of a 40 foot deep well.

[Chick]

My gosh.

[Josh]

They were able to successfully rescue the 23 year old.

[Chick]

Oh, good.

[Josh]

Who said he'd been trapped in the well for three days and nights.

[Chick]

Can you imagine being down there and hearing them go, oh, no, no, that's just. Just a ghost.

[Christy]

Just a ghost.

[Tom]

Hey, I swear I'm not a ghost.

[Josh]

He was.

[Christy]

That's just what a ghost would say.

[Josh]

After sustaining a fractured left wrist, a concussion, and he had bruises on his.

[Chick]

See this? Sometimes colonialism is good. If this is a village where their first assumption is that it's a ghost screaming and not a human being, they need us to come in there with books and computers.

[Tom]

Yes. Yes. Baby Jessica. Baby Jessica wouldn't have made it.

[Christy]

And, and don't forget doing a little house clean. Okay, well, I don't mean you can't have. We can't have one without the other.

[Chick]

Yeah, I guess I do want to know.

[Tom]

What is this language you're speaking? What's this gibberish? Let's teach you some English. It makes perfect sense. No, no, no. That's pee, as in pneumonia.

[Josh]

Big Taco Bell news today, Josh.

[Chick]

Lay it on me, lady.

[Josh]

Starting today, they will sell chicken nuggets at participating restaurants nationwide.

[Chick]

Kidding.

[Josh]

The newest menu isn't just your regular nuggets. They're breaded with a bl. Breadcrumbs and tortilla chips.

[Christy]

Oh, they got to be shaped like little bells.

[Josh]

As well as marinated in a zesty jalapeno buttermilk.

[Tom]

All right.

[Josh]

Yes. Taco Bell is also releasing a trio of dipping sauces to accompany the latest menu edition.

[Christy]

I'm so sick of the word zesty I could spit.

[Chick]

You know, I consider you zesty.

[Christy]

Zesty?

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Chick]

You're a zesty man.

[Christy]

I just. I don't want. I don't want anything zesty. Just give me food. It's kind of bland, will you?

[Chick]

Yeah, what about zesty? Fully clean? Will you accept that?

[Christy]

No, I don't like that soap.

[Chick]

Well, you're not fully clean.

[Christy]

Too little.

[Chick]

You're zestfully clean. Ace is right.

[Christy]

Not fully clean.

[Josh]

The new sauces include Hidden Valley Ranch Sauce, which is a blend of Taco Bell's fire sauce and Hidden Valley Ranch Fire Sauce. See, a new signature Bell Sauce, which is A sweet and hot jalapeno honey mustard.

[Tom]

I got a sauce story story for you.

[Josh]

Oh, are you gonna get into the fight?

[Tom]

Yeah. This is a great story. Do you think it's worth getting into a fight about sauce?

[Chick]

Sometimes it is. Yeah.

[Josh]

A woman in Florida facing felony charges following a dispute over dipping sauce at a Raising Cane's restaurant.

[Chick]

Wow. Apparently this is. That stuff is crazy popular.

[Josh]

31 year old Ms. McKenzie Keeling was picking up an order from Raising Canes in Clearwater when she discovered she was missing eight packets.

[Christy]

I'm missing cane sauce.

[Josh]

One returned to the location was given some dipping sauce by a manager. However, the manager declined the woman's request that she be provided with extra sauce in return for wasting her time and gas. The woman allegedly became hostile both verbally and physically and tried to assault the manager. She allegedly tried to tear off the victim's keys and Kane's ID from a lanyard attached to his belt. She was subsequently arrested.

[Chick]

Yeah, good.

[Christy]

You bastard.

[Tom]

But why wouldn't the guy give up a couple packets of sauce, for God's sake?

[Chick]

I'm kind of wondering too. Don't you just get. Get that lady out of there? Yeah, yeah, but you know. Oh, boy. Well, maybe you don't. Maybe you're. I know this lady's being.

[Christy]

You guys just sounded like Josh, Arnold and Dawn there.

[Tom]

Okay, wait a minute.

[Christy]

Don't you got. You both went. Yeah, at the same time. It was beautiful.

[Tom]

This. There's the pick, the. What do you call it? The rusting picture. The mug shot. This lady is extremely attractive.

[Chick]

Oh, well, therefore she's the victim here.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

No, no, she's got weird hair, but I mean, she's very pretty.

[Christy]

Do we have her name? What's her name? He thinks it's pretty. It looks like a cat with.

[Tom]

No, no.

[Josh]

Look at this feeling.

[Tom]

Yeah, she has her. She's got pink bangs and blue hair, but she's very pretty girl. What do you think Josh doesn't look like she's the kind that would lose her mind over dipping sauce.

[Chick]

She totally does. I'm shocked. Really Shocked that you think she's attractive.

[Jess]

Let me see.

[Chick]

I mean, it's Caucasian garbage.

[Jess]

Really?

[Chick]

Immediately you can tell?

[Christy]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom]

You think so?

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

You think that. You think that look in her eyes like I'd cut that thing off.

[Chick]

Yes.

[Tom]

The minute you fall asleep, I'm taking the scissors.

[Christy]

She's either. Either at some trying to get her dipping sauce or.

[Jess]

I don't blame her. Have you had that chicken? It's so bland. You need all the sauce.

[Chick]

I've heard the sauce is really terrific.

[Jess]

Sauce is terrific.

[Christy]

She's lying to a public assistance program.

[Chick]

Yeah, that lady's okay.

[Christy]

There's just a couple things.

[Jess]

Calm down.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Jess]

Well, I bet her hair was a part of a gender reveal. What do you want to bet? Just pink bangs and blue hair.

[Chick]

I'll shave off whichever one.

[Tom]

Very complicated. All right. Now, I have been receiving notes from friends of mine who have been receiving something from me. I'm talking about those boxes of Omaha Steaks.

[Chick]

Yeah, really nailing it.

[Christy]

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

[Chick]

Christy had it.

[Christy]

She's out of here, but I don't blame her. Evidently Josh hates her, so that's why.

[Tom]

Christy has a. Christy has a medical appointment. We're trying to see if the rabbit died.

[Jess]

Where did that come from?

[Christy]

They used to use rabbits. I don't think they used the whole rabbit.

[Tom]

They didn't really kill the rabbit. It was.

[Christy]

It was something. They plucked an eye out.

[Tom]

Yeah, the urban legend was they would what, shoot the rabbit up with your.

[Christy]

Well, no, but they would.

[Tom]

And the rabbit would drop dead.

[Christy]

Then the cosmetics industry use shoot dye into rabbit's eyes.

[Jess]

He came from the dead rabbits. From the cosmetic industry.

[Chick]

Really?

[Jess]

That's a lie.

[Christy]

But you wear lipstick. Think about that.

[Tom]

Were the. Were the. In the 50s year, those raccoon hats that were so popular?

[Chick]

I would have to assume you had your real and you had your fake.

[Christy]

Okay, well, now, what about the rabbit's foot on keychains?

[Chick]

All real.

[Christy]

That's what I thought.

[Tom]

This is what is the 18th of December?

[Christy]

A day I'll always remember.

[Tom]

Okay, now I'm going to play this for Hooker. Everyone else be quiet.

[Christy]

Oh, God.

[Tom]

Ms. Hooker, please.

[Christy]

That's right. Name this band. That's right. Name this band. Never mind. Go ahead. Chimpanzee.

[Tom]

Do you recognize this?

[Jess]

I do.

[Tom]

What is it?

[Jess]

It's the Pink Panther theme.

[Tom]

Oh, very good.

[Chick]

One of the classic pieces of music.

[Christy]

I say, does your dog bite? I thought you said your dog didn't bite.

[Tom]

I heard in an interview, Henry. Henry Mancini said that when he agreed to do the music for the Pink Panther, he. And this was what, early 60s I guess he said, well, if I do it, I want a. I want a piece of the merchant merchandise. And it was this.

[Christy]

And the word merchandise wasn't even used.

[Chick]

I don't believe this.

[Tom]

He thought there'd be little panthers out there. Apparently. Apparently he made more money on that than anything else in history.

[Chick]

Very cool.

[Tom]

No, I didn't miss here. Do you have insulation? Do you have insulation on your little home? Perhaps it's.

[Christy]

I don't care for the name the Henry. And it's okay to call him Hank. I don't care for that.

[Chick]

Why?

[Christy]

I don't know. I don't like it. There's something going on there.

[Chick]

All right, all right, chick.

[Tom]

Remember the TV show Hank?

[Christy]

Son of a.

[Jess]

You did it to yourself.

[Christy]

Yeah, I did. Who was in Hank? Tom.

[Tom]

That's a great show. There's. There's an interesting novel about the actor who portrayed Hank, who was.

[Christy]

They wrote a novel about it.

[Tom]

Oh, yes, a fascinating story. He was a closeted gay man.

[Christy]

The actor ended up in a mind.

[Tom]

Numbing jewelry high school.

[Chick]

Teach you the definition of interest?

[Tom]

Okay. Okay. This is a good one. 1966. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Heirs for the first time on cbs.

[Christy]

Lost my mind.

[Chick]

I bet. Did you guys love it immediately?

[Tom]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy]

I was nine years old.

[Tom]

The greatest.

[Christy]

What the hell is this?

[Tom]

It's.

[Christy]

And my favorite character. The. The dog.

[Chick]

Yeah, real funny.

[Christy]

Yeah. He's riding on top of all the.

[Chick]

And isn't it a testament to the loyalty and friendliness of dogs? Even the Grinch had a dog.

[Christy]

The Grinch had a dog.

[Jess]

And he loved his dog.

[Christy]

Yes, sure did.

[Tom]

On this date in History of A Star is Born with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

[Christy]

Watch closely now.

[Tom]

They make this. They remake this movie every 20, 30 years.

[Christy]

Yeah, seems like it.

[Tom]

Yeah. Suffer through it again. Okay. We do have some important birthdays. Joseph Stalin.

[Christy]

Oh.

[Chick]

Inventor of the breakfast pastry.

[Tom]

Yeah. 1870.

[Chick]

A long pause.

[Christy]

There's. Pardon me. While I'm boring. At least I announce I'm going to be boring. There's a great documentary on Netflix called. It's like six hours about the USSR and the bomb or something. And it's the Russian history. And I guess Stalin was a bank robber and robbed banks and gave the money to Lenin and that's how Stalin became important in the. The Communist party in. In Russia.

[Chick]

That's one way to get in.

[Christy]

Yeah.

[Tom]

It's more subtle these days. Yeah, yeah. Now, going back to 1863, do you know who this is? Franz Ferdinand.

[Jess]

No, I don't.

[Tom]

There's a band, of course.

[Jess]

Yeah.

[Chick]

Didn't he start World War I?

[Jess]

Oh, I don't know.

[Tom]

When they. When they shot him.

[Chick]

Right. Yeah. Wasn't he kind of essentially the.

[Tom]

Yeah.

[Jess]

Really?

[Chick]

Impetus for that?

[Jess]

I'll have to look into it.

[Tom]

And a lot of bad things happened since then. Happy birthday to the great Steven Spielberg film director. So many great movies.

[Chick]

He. Really. So many.

[Tom]

And we mentioned this earlier. Ray Liotta, who sadly is gone. Great actor. Goodfellas, one of the best movies.

[Jess]

Just watched it last weekend for the first time. No.

[Chick]

Okay.

[Jess]

No. It was on. Had to watch it.

[Christy]

Ray Liotta started on Another World, an NBC soap opera. And I forget what his name was. It was like Tommy or Joe. Joey. Might have been Joey. He was somebody's son. And he was Nerd. Well, he's.

[Tom]

He's terrific in a movie. Oh, what's it called?

[Chick]

Wild Thing. Okay.

[Tom]

Something. Something Wild.

[Christy]

I like that movie.

[Chick]

Well, it's great.

[Tom]

A great movie. You don't like that movie?

[Christy]

I don't.

[Chick]

Oh, you don't? I tried.

[Christy]

I tried really hard.

[Chick]

Gotcha.

[Tom]

It's got Jeff Daniels.

[Chick]

I like that one.

[Tom]

Okay.

[Chick]

And he's as sinister as anything in that.

[Tom]

Yeah, it's really good.

[Christy]

Okay.

[Tom]

I remember the. That's one of the few movies. The first time I watched it, I immediately watched it again.

[Christy]

It was that I. I have trouble knowing you as I know you now. I have trouble believing that that's true. That you would ever do it.

[Chick]

Because he didn't pay attention the first time.

[Christy]

Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Chick]

He was on his phone.

[Christy]

Turned out it was a cat and a dog on fire. I don't know.

[Tom]

May have been jerking it to.

[Chick]

You're a Melody Griffith fan?
