The Show’s Language & Tone

The episode is a blend of warmth and snark, with self-deprecating in-jokes, sarcasm (sometimes meta-commented upon), and a rhythm of playful interruptions. Much time is devoted to letters from listeners, offbeat news items, sports, and the rituals/trials of the season. Banter is often improvisational, derailing into comic asides about nostalgia, bodily functions, and pop culture. The presence of surprise guests and ongoing callbacks to favorite running gags (yo-yos, Blimps, Chick’s faux retirement, bickering about fonts) create an “anything goes,” family reunion atmosphere.

---

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This installment encapsulates all that is trademark BOB & TOM: a cavalcade of comic personalities riffing on Christmas, modern life, pop culture, and absurd listener stories, with generous helpings of affectionate ribbing, holiday cheer, and celebrity surprise. If you want a show with as much Christmas chaos and laughter as comradery, this festive episode with mini guitars, “crypto for Christmas,” and tales of pancake pancake, gay monkeys, and Swedes glued to Donald Duck will leave you grinning (and perhaps rethinking your vanity plate application).

Hey, this is Michael Rosenbaum. Hey guys. Tom Welling. Look, we've both played heroes and we both played villains.

You are. You just sent Tom back to his original dimension.

[Chick McGee]

It's gems like that all morning long. It's the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just happy to be out of traffic.

[Christy Lee]

No joke. Yesterday sucked.

[Bob Kevoian]

There was a lot going on, wasn't there?

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's everywhere. Yeah. You can be in a really rural spot and you get home. Gladys. Or 10 people at the light.

[Bob Kevoian]

I try to.

[Tom Griswold]

That's half the town.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, I put on the carols and just kind of go with it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, what can you do, man?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was cool.

[Chick McGee]

You have.

[Tom Griswold]

I went to a. I went to both a UPS and a FedEx store yesterday. I didn't hit the post office. I figured three big lines.

[Christy Lee]

I did, but you know what? Not a line. And my lady was very helpful.

[Tom Griswold]

Again, we should explain. You live in Hooterville, right? Hooterville. With BMWs and Range Rovers, but nonetheless, Hooterville all the same. You know, there were pickup trucks that have never had anything in the back. Know what I'm talking about?

[Christy Lee]

Well, there are a few of those.

[Chick McGee]

You can dress up, but, you know, you still got.

[Christy Lee]

I was shocked that they could get my packages there by Monday. I was very happy. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

What a world we live in.

[Christy Lee]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

It's amazing.

[Christy Lee]

I had told the people I was sending things to. I. You're probably not going to get it until after Christmas, but we'll see.

[Chick McGee]

I don't have some of yours, and I do have some of yours, so for the first time ever. Okay, you're not. You're not getting your gift.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, me, too. I had a little special something for Josh, and it was supposed to be here last Monday, and I just got a notice saying it's not going to be here till Monday.

[Chick McGee]

That'll happen when you say you got a little something special for Josh, and Christie responds with the. Of course you did. So maybe you should get a little something special for Christy.

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't want anything.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no. Boy, is that.

[Tom Griswold]

And I have.

[Chick McGee]

I have.

[Tom Griswold]

I have three different things.

[Chick McGee]

It's all true.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just that this was something that she would not appreciate. No, it's just something that. It's in Josh's sphere of. Of. Is it a book of pseudo literati.

[Bob Kevoian]

Love that. Love it.

[Chick McGee]

Pseudo.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Quasi.

[Bob Kevoian]

Big fan of my. As Tom once said, faux literary posture.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there any other kind?

[Chick McGee]

That's the best.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's that actor? A few years ago, every time they'd see him, he'd be interviewed. Oh, he had a copy of the Catcher of the Riot his pocket. Who was that guy?

[Chick McGee]

I thought Ethan Hawke.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ethan Hawke is kind of one of those guys, but also James Frank, that guy Franco is. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It just happened to bring this, you know, copy. I'm trying to get through Emmanuel. Really? Are you now? Yeah, you're in People magazine. Okay, buddy, give me a break, Pat. God, why are you shaking something by your ear? I think I got a cell phone. Oh, man. Oh boy, the old iPhone 7. What are they on now?

[Christy Lee]

I found a place to recycle all of your old electronics. It went there yesterday too. I had a tub full of iPads and phones.

[Chick McGee]

I've got. I've got one of those. It's called a drawer at home.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's what I cleaned out.

[Tom Griswold]

I have.

[Christy Lee]

And it was amazing. You'd pull up, go to the dock, get a button.

[Tom Griswold]

I have the. I have the history of chargers.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's what I don't need is somebody being organized to get rid of their electronic equipment. My bros are cleaned. I don't need that at the holiday. Just keep it to yourself.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I found. I was going through the same thing like the chargers. And then I found. Okay, this is the. This is the C. Yes. This is the. What is it? Zip. What was that one? What was the one Apple had for. Until a few years ago?

[Chick McGee]

The lightning. You're gonna have to give us more than that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, they had the lightning then. Now that. Now it's on a. Is. What is it?

[Chick McGee]

The lightning still works with. With some things, but then.

[Tom Griswold]

Then there's the C. And then there's the one that's kind of a trapezoid. I got that one.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Yeah, I know what you're talking.

[Tom Griswold]

That's for a bunch of stuff. And then I found one that I have no idea what it's for. I'm gonna keep it just in case. Yeah, it's, you know, probably a six year old walkie talkie.

[Christy Lee]

You have a charger drawer. Do you keep them all wrapped up and marked?

[Tom Griswold]

So, you know, it's more of a spaghetti of cords and. Yeah, yeah. So. So we'll see. We'll See, but it's so interesting that I wonder if battery sales are down because so many things are rechargeable.

[Chick McGee]

That's true. USB charge right in your computer. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Who knows?

[Chick McGee]

Outlet.

[Tom Griswold]

These are all fair questions. We have a lot of mail to get to. We'll give you some last minute tips on. On Christmas shopping.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. Take tips from us.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

We got it all figured out.

[Bob Kevoian]

We've got some pretty good ideas when.

[Chick McGee]

It comes to gifts.

[Tom Griswold]

I think we do.

[Chick McGee]

We could tell you how to stand in line at. Where was it tomorrow?

[Tom Griswold]

The UPS store and FedEx. But they were great. The people were great. They zipped through it, got a bunch of stuff shipped.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah. Give those folks a wide berth, please.

[Tom Griswold]

They really could not have been more pleasant.

[Bob Kevoian]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

And at the UPS store, they had just lost their wifi. The one I went. They were kind of struggling with that, but they dealt with it. They were nice.

[Chick McGee]

That's coming, right?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

All of us losing our wifi at some point. Losing WI fi for an extended period of time across the country.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just telling you. Yeah, a big empty today is.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's.

[Tom Griswold]

There's someone planning it right now.

[Chick McGee]

Well. Well, I don't want to.

[Tom Griswold]

It's some foreign country.

[Bob Kevoian]

Two days ago, my WI fi was out and I got a text saying, hey, we know your WI fi is out.

[Tom Griswold]

All right?

[Bob Kevoian]

We're on it and we're gonna. And then a little later it came on, I got a text saying, hey, it's back. It's on. And we're gonna refund you for the lost time. Yesterday I got a little email saying, $3.

[Chick McGee]

Same here.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, three bucks. And they said. And they sent Joth some. They sent Josh a box of Kleenex, knowing that he had to go back to his old fashioned ways. Yeah, I always keep a Playboy around just in case the WI fi.

[Chick McGee]

I always keep a Playboy around the classics. Now I had my hooked back up through the mine goes through the trees. And they keep telling me they want to bury it, but they've never come over to bury it. And. But the guy came over and hooked it back up and tightened it up and everything.

[Christy Lee]

Did the wind blow it down?

[Chick McGee]

But he says they were trimming trees. And so he goes, it was a couple of weeks ago. And he go, I'm going to. I'm going to get this fixed up real quick because I gotta. I gotta get that football game in. And I said, oh, okay. But I wanted to say, I heard that. Or you tell it, brother. But he was an African American Gentleman. I wanted to bond with him.

[Bob Kevoian]

You did the right thing by being you.

[Chick McGee]

I wanted. Well, but did I. Was I. Was I overly on?

[Bob Kevoian]

Uncool.

[Chick McGee]

Uncool by not. That's what I'm worried about. Just being uncool. Not.

[Tom Griswold]

But you're such a football fan. I think you guys could have bonded.

[Chick McGee]

I know I got to get that football game in is what he said. I said, that's really.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a great story coming out of the NFL today involving.

[Chick McGee]

No, we don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Involving boogers.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And not. Not Booger McFarlane.

[Chick McGee]

Just please, just please bear with us. It's. It's his world of sports. Just. Just.

[Bob Kevoian]

None of us want to do that.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a great story. It's got a literary bent. It comes from the Atlantic. Perhaps. Something perhaps you might have heard of. It's a magazine. Quality writing.

[Chick McGee]

Is it though?

[Tom Griswold]

Now we have a bunch of letters to get to this. I want to just do a brief setup on this letter.

[Chick McGee]

Gotta get them letters in it.

[Tom Griswold]

It comes to us from Ron and Bardstown, Commonwealth of Kentucky.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Nope, Just to stay.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's referencing a story made yesterday or the day before maybe about a guy, a so called artist in Japan. You may recall he was a young fellow and he. He had his entire genitalia removed a couple days ago. And what did he do with him? Christie?

[Christy Lee]

He fried them up and fed them to people.

[Tom Griswold]

He cooked them. Who's hungry as a piece of performance art, right?

[Christy Lee]

And you had to pay a big.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sorry, there are no seconds.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but Ron wants to know if. Did they eat outside? Was it a dick? Nick, I. Thank you. But he. Then at the end, this is what was intriguing. He said, I have not found the girl from the Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin? Fraternity of man concert.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

And I vaguely remembered that and I dug up and I found the letter.

[Chick McGee]

Are you kidding me?

[Christy Lee]

Oh my God.

[Tom Griswold]

This guy. You barely know what day it is.

[Chick McGee]

And you've gone back and found a listener's letter from how long ago?

[Tom Griswold]

From August 14th. He went to see a concert featuring the Fraternity of Man. The band that has that great song, Don't Bogart that joint featuring Richie. Richie Hayward, later of Little Feet. He saw them in concert in Santa Barbara. The other hacks included Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin. There's a copy of the ticket he sent us. Look at the price on that. That is absolutely unbelievable.

[Christy Lee]

Let's say 350.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just amazing that in a concert.

[Christy Lee]

If you advance $4 at the door.

[Tom Griswold]

$4. That was in 1969. But you might remember the story. He met some woman there and they had an incredible evening and he thought it was going to be his future wife. But of course, being 1969, certain things happen and he lost her phone number. But he did keep the ticket stub. To this day, he still listens to Led Zeppelin. Well, thank you, Ron. We certainly appreciate that. And I'm glad you're still enjoying the great music of Led Zeppelin. Coming up, we have our Bob and Tom show gift exchange. If you've been in the green room, my assistant Amy was kind enough to make my mother's classic breakfast roll recipe. They're absolutely delicious. Give them about 12 seconds in the microwave.

[Christy Lee]

Cinnamon rolls.

[Tom Griswold]

Cinnamon rolls, okay. Oh, they're terrific. We'll be enjoying those. And some coffee, etc. Etc. This morning's going on now. I turn to Josh because we do have some last minute gift ideas. This is good for the whole holiday season, right?

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

It'S winter. I air fried them. And if you thought the snap on these jumbo beef franks was, you know, snap is very important when it comes to hot dogs and sausages.

[Tom Griswold]

When you hit the skin with your teeth.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, you want a good snap. It was perfect. I did mine 390 for about seven minutes, so. And then at three and a half, I gave that basket a little shake. That's just my recipe for them, but man, I couldn't get over them. And my cats were jealous, sitting there meowing at me and I said no.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, what did they say? Back to you, though.

Members of my family that are in far flung places now. Coming up, we have, as I mentioned, boogers in the NFL and other sporting news.

[Chick McGee]

Thursday night Football last night, Seahawks come back and win late. Exciting overtime contest. Wacky two point conversions. It had it all.

[Tom Griswold]

Second week in a row they've won in that very late or in overtime.

[Chick McGee]

The third week in a row, Al Michaels could not be bothered with the broadcast. So got real interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

We have donkeys in the news and we have no.

[Chick McGee]

Is it Dominic the donkey?

[Tom Griswold]

No, but I thought since in honor of Dominic, we have a donkey world record. If I ever do get a farm, I am definitely going to have a donkey.

[Chick McGee]

Really? Are you going to name it Dominic?

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe. I never thought about that.

[Chick McGee]

I think you should, you should get one of those mammoth jacks with the big, you know, giant cod, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Those are big, really large animals.

[Tom Griswold]

Also coming up, if you are thinking about getting a vanity plate, we have two different states and some of the vanity plates they are not going to allow.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's always interesting. I wonder how many states now have someone with the vanity plate. 6. 7. 6, 7, 6, 7. Those are probably all gone by now or various variations on that. But for example, I'll give you one you cannot get. Let's see now, in the state of Indiana, they will not allow you to have the vanity plate. Diddy. D I D D Y. Oh, okay, good. Okay. That's one of many.

[Chick McGee]

Christy. That documentary hit Christy hard.

[Christy Lee]

Changed me.

[Chick McGee]

She wants a Diddy's head.

[Tom Griswold]

Does this mean we can't play that classic bit vanilla guy where I team up with.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think we should have ever played that but no one asked me.

[Bob Kevoian]

So I just heard Clement M. And he references Diddy, so I'd say, oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good. We're gonna do that from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, where this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Taub Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts. For all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Jake.

[Chick McGee]

Hi. She's at the SILAC insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, man. There's Josh Arnold. Hey, yellow. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hi, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Happy holidays.

[Tom Griswold]

Same to you. I want to urge you to check out a couple things. We have a nice video of a Pat song, crypto Christmas, that's just been posted. And also we have the Mr. Grizz video featuring Josh and the puppets. The puppets are doing some singing. It's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they're always a joy, aren't they?

[Tom Griswold]

So thank you to Austin and to Noah from our staff for that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I realized that sounded sarcastic, but I meant it.

[Tom Griswold]

A joy.

[Bob Kevoian]

I really didn't mean it.

[Chick McGee]

I really.

[Christy Lee]

Big show.

[Bob Kevoian]

My sarcasm meter.

[Chick McGee]

Not everybody's good at sarcasm. Off the chart, usually.

[Christy Lee]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

You nail it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that. In this case, I really was not being sarcastic. I meant it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

It just came out as sounding sarcastic. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Now, Pat, perhaps we could maybe demonstrate that song live. That's such a nice song. The holiday season here with us. That was a sarcastic.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no. Again, that was not meant to sound sarcastic.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what.

[Chick McGee]

What should we think when you say, hey, Pat, let's do that song? And you go, I don't care what you think. Okay, I Mean, this is.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's a real issue today, okay?

[Chick McGee]

You're really a natural. Wherever that knob is, you need to turn the sarcasm down, okay? It's Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

This is like a song with a contemporary message, I think. Pat. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me. Keep your gadgets and gift cards. Oh, you know.

[Chick McGee]

Know what song is Wish.

[Tom Griswold]

Son of a.

[Bob Kevoian]

What happened?

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

We haven't a day.

[Bob Kevoian]

I didn't even notice a flaw.

[Pat Godwin]

We need.

[Chick McGee]

We need a car crash sound effect when he does that or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Everybody calm down. Tom said in the green room. Is there something up your ass today?

[Chick McGee]

Are you okay?

[Tom Griswold]

I said no.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I was gonna. Yeah, I was gonna ask that, but you get mad at me, so go.

[Tom Griswold]

Can I say what happened next?

[Christy Lee]

What happened?

[Tom Griswold]

No. Okay. Oh, my God.

[Christy Lee]

I have a great idea. I have a great idea of what's going on over here to yourself.

[Chick McGee]

You know, there's no better time than at the holidays to re examine all your personal relationships. That's what I found. Don't you think?

[Tom Griswold]

Keep your gadgets and gift cards. Oh, you know what's on my wish list?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't want cold hard cash.

[Tom Griswold]

I want crypto for Christmas. You don't deposit it in a bank.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bank. Pray to thieves and looters.

[Tom Griswold]

Crypto safe in a file on my computer. 50% of all gen Z would prefer blockchain technology.

[Chick McGee]

It's crypto for Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Nft. Bitcoin. I don't care what you call. Sits there safely tucked away in my digital wallet.

[Chick McGee]

What if I get a computer virus growing like a tumor?

[Bob Kevoian]

It could wipe out all my savings.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, Boomer.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Crypto's the best gift by far.

[Chick McGee]

I'm burying gold out in the yard.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's crypto.

[Chick McGee]

Sip it, hippie. Crypto for Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Would it kill you to wear a tie?

[Chick McGee]

Get a haircut?

[Bob Kevoian]

Very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

That is great.

[Chick McGee]

Zipping hippie. I love that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's the edited version. There used to be some aspersion. The spurgeon's cast on the sexuality. The preferences, if you will.

[Chick McGee]

Really? I'm glad that didn't continue.

[Tom Griswold]

We have little. A couple little dates coming up. I want to tell everybody about Haywood Banks at the Roxy Theater in Minerva, Ohio.

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again, couldn't be bothered to even call in.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's Haywood's world.

[Tom Griswold]

Pan Jekyll, Beck. Yeah, but you ever had him on the phone.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no, I haven't.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, stop if you like to go call him.

[Chick McGee]

It's all the joy of him being in person on the Phone.

[Tom Griswold]

And then Saturday, December 27th, Mr. Banks at the Fort Wayne Comedy Club. But the Roxy Theater in Minerva, Ohio.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I always like the name Roxy. Yeah, the Roxy was the strip club in downtown Cleveland.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wasn't the Roxy, like a big music club in LA or something?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Roxy Music. Music, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Great band.

[Chick McGee]

He. Brian Fairy. Sings like Dracula, he does.

[Tom Griswold]

Rhododendron is a nice flower. Brian Ferry foray.

[Chick McGee]

You're welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

Also Duke at the Hard Rock Casino in Northern Indiana, coming up Saturday night. And John Heffron, great comedian. He's going to be doing his thing coming up on New Year's Eve.

[Chick McGee]

Is it? Is it? You got the list?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, sorry. Yeah. At Hilarities in Cleveland.

[Chick McGee]

You know, you have an amazing capacity to not know what's going on, and yet somehow we feel like it's our fault.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know how. No, I'm sorry. It's the font.

[Chick McGee]

It's the font.

[Tom Griswold]

It's this hollowed out, weird. It's a little tough, cramped font.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll give it to him.

[Chick McGee]

And you're backing up their.

[Christy Lee]

That's why he gets the gift question.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Wait, hang on a second.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What's wrong with the font?

[Bob Kevoian]

It's.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm very font specific. Helvetica. Right. I've got a couple of rules if you want.

[Bob Kevoian]

Our producer, he's baffled.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I. If it's not on Helvetica, I'm probably not gonna even read it. Although. Helvetica. I'd like to talk to the Helvetica people, because Helvetica people.

[Bob Kevoian]

He thinks he's a team.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello? Helvetica.

[Chick McGee]

The uppercase.

[Tom Griswold]

The uppercase I and the lowercase l are the same. So whenever you see AI, it looks like Al.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's true.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. They've got to make it fix.

[Chick McGee]

Are we going to go over this?

[Tom Griswold]

It's true, though. People who? Some. There's some, as you would say, Pat, some boomer going.

[Chick McGee]

I tell you what, this Al guy's getting into everything. Who is this? Pat, I have a letter for you.

[Tom Griswold]

For me?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. Yeah. You've already established that you're having a rough morning, but maybe this will cheer you up. This comes to us from.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it an obituary?

[Bob Kevoian]

This comes to us from Troy.

[Chick McGee]

Hang on. Easy, big fella. Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

You have to stay quiet. I don't know why. So happy to bother you to work. Troy says. I was listening to Wednesday's episode of the gym on the treadmill. We were talking about potentially gay monkeys. That's. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Whether or not I think I didn't. Scientists find that there are gay monkeys.

[Tom Griswold]

Like, what is it? 20% of all animals have a homosexual. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Bent the number, but yeah, it's very common.

[Chick McGee]

Is it a bent.

[Bob Kevoian]

And we were kind of doing our impressions of gay monkeys. I don't necessarily encourage it to you.

[Chick McGee]

To do at work, but possibly it might be appropriate. Maybe a holiday party.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why not look around first?

[Tom Griswold]

Here we come. Down the street.

[Bob Kevoian]

You happened to say something about maybe a famous potentially gay monkey. Do you remember?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Bi. Curious George.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Well, when you said that line, Troy, he says, I laughed so hard, I completely lost my footing at the gym, on the treadmill. But luckily I slapped the emergency stop before it got too messy. My ankle is a little tweaked, but Pat's safe from an injury attorney for now. And then he says, merry Christmas, you filthy animals.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Classic. Classic.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you. Thank you very much. We have a lot of letters over here.

[Bob Kevoian]

Want me to read another one?

[Tom Griswold]

I got one. I guess we. Coming up, we have the. More lists. Of course. This is what happens at the end of the year.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you know what our most important list is, though, as we look back over the last year. That's right. Highlights from 2025. All right, the first highlight is. Are you ready?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I hate this show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dancing.

[Chick McGee]

More highlights coming up later this morning from 2025.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah, the namesake of the show.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

We got a letter from Autumn in the Ville.

[Christy Lee]

In the Ville.

[Chick McGee]

Nashville, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Nope. This is the Villeville. It says in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky.

[Chick McGee]

All right, Louisville.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

She said Nashville had a first.

[Tom Griswold]

We had a new story. I didn't have this one. I think Christie did. The Wham song has. Or maybe one of our. I think one of our listeners mentioned.

[Christy Lee]

The Wham song has taken Mariah Carey's top spot for Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay. In one of the polls.

[Chick McGee]

That's impossible.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I agree. We have a game called Whamageddon. It's a viral Christmas game. You try to avoid hearing the Wham song last Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

You try to help. You try to have your friends forcibly have to listen to the song. And I have to confess, I'm a fan.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't hate it.

[Chick McGee]

I can't remember the last time I heard it. I don't travel.

[Bob Kevoian]

I know. I don't feel like it's that. I don't feel that inundated.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm hearing a lot of covers of it. I've. I've heard the Wham Version once. It's not bad.

[Christy Lee]

Well, now they have so many different Christmas channels you can select.

[Tom Griswold]

But also walking through the various stores.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's not a bad song. She says be safe out there. It's crazy. Check local listings. As I said earlier, I think it's crazy. Pretty much everywhere. A lot. A lot of traffic. So have some fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yep. Be patient.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll go back to Josh at the There We Go letter disc.

[Chick McGee]

Can you name this song?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So we were just talking about this way.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. Last Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Are you sure?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're way worse Christmas songs, though.

[Chick McGee]

I would know. It bit me in the ass.

[Christy Lee]

Are you serious?

[Tom Griswold]

I've never.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is.

[Tom Griswold]

You never heard this.

[Chick McGee]

First time I've heard it. I know what I'm doing. Right. Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is playing in a bathroom somewhere. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a great song.

[Christy Lee]

This is my voice.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone special.

[Chick McGee]

Gave it away. Why aren't you. Why aren't you as you are want Mincing around the room like you would with some other yet you're embracing this as an amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

I almost got that. I almost got up, took off all my clothes and danced around like the end of Saltburn.

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Kill.

[Christy Lee]

That would have been great.

[Chick McGee]

That would have been. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder which of the more recently written songs has been covered the most. That may be one of them.

[Chick McGee]

I've never heard of it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I have. Dozens. I'll do a little homework and find out. Dear Bob and Tom Show. Someone was talking about stepping on toilet paper hanging off their shoe. And what you do when that happens.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Josh was.

[Tom Griswold]

You had a technique.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Sometimes I'm a superhero at it. Because when somebody I see it, I step on it for them. They're none the wiser that I've done this. They walk off. The toilet paper comes off their shoe. I lift my foot, the toilet paper is not on my shoe. I save the day.

[Chick McGee]

Have you ever put a kick me sign on anyone?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, and I've never had one put on me.

[Chick McGee]

I think I've. I've done it once or twice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

I. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now this.

[Chick McGee]

It's fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

You should try.

[Tom Griswold]

This letter comes from a lady named Aaron. E R I N in Gotta wet my Lips. Athol, Idaho That.

[Chick McGee]

That didn't help at all.

[Bob Kevoian]

You don't even really use your lips when you say the word Athol.

[Christy Lee]

No, you don't.

[Bob Kevoian]

None.

[Chick McGee]

None.

[Tom Griswold]

Your flaming lips.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like flaming lips.

[Tom Griswold]

Me too. A T H O L and we discovered that there is also an Athol in New York. Why, there's a lot of ways. I'll tell you what that may be.

[Chick McGee]

The capital of opinions are like, everybody's got one.

[Tom Griswold]

Aaron writes, on an airplane, someone walking back from the bathroom had toilet paper hanging out the back of their pants. Oh, this poor woman walked past me. I just stopped her and gave her a special look with my eyes pointing. She figured out what was happening and removed the paper.

[Bob Kevoian]

What? How does that happen?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Oh, I know when you wipe, it falls. Well, she might have used it to wipe to cover the seat. And when she stood up, it didn't go down. It kind of got caught on her pants.

[Chick McGee]

I think she might have ran out of sanitary products. Oh, some toilet paper.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, I think Tom wants us to think that she was wiping and just.

[Christy Lee]

Stopped, of course, and that he's just.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hanging out, clenched, and stood up and put her back.

[Chick McGee]

Because Tom feels like especially strange people that he hasn't met. For instance, people on a plane are for filthy, and you're overweight, you're great. Unwashed, and most often fat.

[Bob Kevoian]

How often would you say that? You. You're somewhere, you use the restroom, right? And about 15 minutes later, you're somewhere and you go, I. I could. I could do a better job.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

That'll happen once every three months. Once every.

[Chick McGee]

You know, it's happened, it happened. Yeah, you got to really. Sometimes you feel like even you're really given a good going over, you really don't have everything.

[Tom Griswold]

You want to go home and shower.

[Bob Kevoian]

You just want to get rid of the itch, really. You just want to get rid of the.

[Chick McGee]

That's my ideal process.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sometimes you just need one more swipe.

[Chick McGee]

Wrap it up with a shower. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Got a.

[Chick McGee]

How about you, Tom? You like to wrap it up with a shower? Wouldn't that be a perfect Christmas Eve? Go home, have a big movement.

[Tom Griswold]

God, you guys, I was just trying to go forward.

[Chick McGee]

A big shower. Have some eggnog in front of the fire. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, speaking of eggnog, this letter comes to us from Ed, who calls himself the monkey boy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, he does.

[Chick McGee]

All right, Ed, you are my monkey boy.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a new Mexican monkey boy. He writes us from Albuquerque.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, yes, that's Albuquerque.

[Tom Griswold]

He says, we were waiting to sit down for dinner. I had prepared leftovers from Sunday's dinner. My wife said, what are we having for dinner? And for some reason in that moment, I could not remember the word leftover or leftovers. So I said, we're having Sunday Reruns.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Good work, Ed.

[Chick McGee]

Now, when you prepare leftovers, don't you just get the plastic box out of the refrigerator and throw it on the table?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Isn't that right?

[Christy Lee]

I put it on a plate and I reheat it.

[Tom Griswold]

Gotta heat them.

[Chick McGee]

Except like, I couldn't do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Not. Not in plastic.

[Chick McGee]

Geez. No. No candles. No. Cloth napkins. No, we have those.

[Christy Lee]

What the. The nice little.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, God. Can you imagine what that is at her house?

[Christy Lee]

What are those new lamps that you see at all the restaurants? They're. You charge them on a USB and they're. You just touch them and they. Come on. They're awesome.

[Chick McGee]

Andy made me dinner last night. No candles.

[Christy Lee]

I have candles. I just told you. We have the lights that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I want one of those Chili's lamps.

[Chick McGee]

If you love me, Andy, you'd go get one. Just kill me.

[Tom Griswold]

It's better if you steal it. It has more meaning right now. I wanna.

[Chick McGee]

I went to high school with a guy who stole a gumball machine right out of an Applebee's.

[Christy Lee]

How the hell do you do that?

[Chick McGee]

Well, you know how he was there at the cash register and gumball machine right there. He was paying us and he had a long coat on and you just walk. Okay, thank you very much. And wrapped it around.

[Bob Kevoian]

Walked. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I would never stop laughing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Exactly.

[Chick McGee]

He was amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I would never be. I'd be howling.

[Chick McGee]

We talked. I'm still talking about it. 50 years later.

[Tom Griswold]

Today's world. You'd get caught.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Too many cameras.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

For you thieves out there.

[Chick McGee]

That's true.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, speaking of thieves, this is a steal. Stephen Singer Jewelers. We've come to the conclusion that Stephen may not be okay because he's charging what he charged last year for those golden diamond stud earrings. And let's face it, the prices of gold and the price of diamonds, as you know, skyrocketing. But the Anita diamond studs are still starting at just 298. And there is still time to get these for the holiday season. Christy Lee, help me about the Anita. What are these again?

[Christy Lee]

They're beautiful. Each pair is eye flawless, near colorless. They have the nice backing so they don't fall off of your ear. I don't know if you can see mine. And Christmas is next.

[Chick McGee]

Tiny, itty bitty like mouse ears.

[Tom Griswold]

They're gorgeous.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I guess if they had normal size ears. They look really dumb on your teeny.

[Christy Lee]

Stop it. Steven's full value lifetime trade in also comes with the Anita diamond studs. Studs that means you can trade in your studs anytime and get exactly what you paid towards a larger pair.

[Chick McGee]

Trade it in. Stud.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, go to ihc.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you trade in a stud for a new one?

[Christy Lee]

Order right now with fast and free shipping to arrive in time for Christmas. Boy, there's no good things that gonna come out of that.

[Tom Griswold]

You.

[Christy Lee]

What, are you trying to ruin my relationship too?

[Chick McGee]

Didn't you date. Didn't you date a doctor one time? Yes, I liked him. Yeah. What happened to him?

[Christy Lee]

This is a no brainer.

[Tom Griswold]

Easy killed in the er.

[Christy Lee]

Experience the difference. Stephen Singer Jewelers. I don't know how poor Stephen got drawn into all of this.

[Chick McGee]

I feel sorry.

[Christy Lee]

But they have great Christmas gifts. And if your lady does not have pierced ears, and not everyone does, they have a wonderful catalog of beautiful items. Including that at lapsed bracelet online at I hate stephensinger dot com. That's I hate stevensinger dot com.

[Tom Griswold]

Get that done today. Get those orders in before 2:00 eastern time today, if you please. Coming up, cursing in the news, boogers in the news.

[Chick McGee]

In the NFL.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And a sweet donkey in the news. And more of your letters on the way. Once again, I urge you to check out Greg Warren's appearance on the Tonight Show. It's floating around the Internet. He was on the Tonight show on Monday. And that great video from Josh making its debut. It's the Mr. Grizz song starring the puppets. And Pat's new Crypto Christmas song, another great video made by Austin and Noah. Thank you, fellas. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

More of the show is on the way.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I remember Jeremiah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, Jeremiah. Now, a lot of people think Jeremiah was a bullfrog in Japan.

[Bob Kevoian]

Apparently he's a man.

[Chick McGee]

Apparently he's a three dog night letter writing. Three dog.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's a. Yikes.

[Chick McGee]

Look at that thing, right? How big is that damn thing?

[Tom Griswold]

Looks like a dinosaur.

[Bob Kevoian]

So every moose he sees, now we're just gonna.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry to find.

[Tom Griswold]

I want.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry to bother you, dinosaur.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's see, like a triceratops. I see.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, because it was.

[Tom Griswold]

It's in a weird position.

[Christy Lee]

Hunkered down.

[Chick McGee]

My God, it does look like. Hey, all levity aside.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, you wrote the right place.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, thank you for another year of comedy distraction from the crazy, crazy world and the self esteem boost that is knowing we're not as crazy as Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you're welcome. I understand that I guideline by you've.

[Chick McGee]

All been a part of my morning routine for many years. And I'm sure I speak for everybody in the morning breath club when I say, enjoy your well earned break away from the microphone.

[Bob Kevoian]

What time is it in home or Alaska?

[Chick McGee]

God, I'd say 1958 Pacific, plus an hour. Like four hours.

[Tom Griswold]

Just kidding, sir.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, thank you, Jeremiah. But enough of the moose.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I want, I want more moose.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's not enough chocolate mousse pictures.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now you're talking. I like that now. I love to see Josh is now picking on himself.

[Chick McGee]

Now that's some rich chocolate.

[Christy Lee]

Dear Bob and Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, here we go.

[Christy Lee]

This is from Andy in Manhattan, Kansas. Chick, you're looking sharp today, my man.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, thank you very much.

[Christy Lee]

Christy always looks good. Thank you, Andy. Pat, always presentable and professional.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Pat Godwin]

Huh.

[Christy Lee]

I dig Josh's lumberjack look.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Nice.

[Christy Lee]

Tom owns only one shirt. Merry Christmas to you all. Andy and Manhattan, Kansas.

[Tom Griswold]

I do have an array of ice shirts.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I do too. It's my summer.

[Chick McGee]

What is the record for the same shirt? The number. A purchase number of the same shirt. Oh, I don't know, like 10.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I have. All the jeans I have are the same. I've got 12 pairs.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sitting on like 20. 20 sleeveless black dickies workshop.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You hang those?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

I'm up to my ears. And thermals. I like the thermals.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you?

[Chick McGee]

I get cold.

[Tom Griswold]

But you like what you like so. This is for you, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Chick. Yeah, writes Ron.

[Chick McGee]

Hi, Ron.

[Tom Griswold]

In keeping with tradition, I know this is the final show of the year, I want to extend my congratulations to you on your retirement.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I didn't want to make a big.

[Tom Griswold]

Deal out of it, knowing you will likely jump the Atlantic and fulfill your dream. That's right. Living in London.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I wish you the following. May your pudding be figgy, your badgers drift, and your snatchers cleft.

[Bob Kevoian]

What a nice sentiment.

[Chick McGee]

Kind words indeed.

[Tom Griswold]

Ron pays attention, that is. Well done, Ron.

[Pat Godwin]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

I'll check in at some point next year when I'm. No, no. If you guys ever miss me.

[Tom Griswold]

No, there's a P.S. here.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This is going to require a little extra explanation.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yesterday, a group of us saying Christmas carols at a nearby mall.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

He was part of the group. We concluded with the song the 12 Days of Christmas. However, when we got to the fifth day, I sang. Anyone want to guess? Five ballcocks.

[Chick McGee]

Five ball cops.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Luckily they're in a mall and no one heard it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. That was a reference to our 12 Days of Christmas from Ed Septic.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The Ballcocks were. The five of them were presented on the fifth day of.

[Chick McGee]

Not only is that funny, but it's a commentary on. On today's time.

[Tom Griswold]

It may have been empty, but one of the other carolers laughed.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

So Ron did a nice job. Thank you very much, Ron. You guys.

[Bob Kevoian]

What? Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have one? Go ahead.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. Will you share the airtime?

[Tom Griswold]

It's all yours. I am preparing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are you guys.

[Chick McGee]

Prepare for mirth.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are you guys familiar with Rice Lake, Wisconsin?

[Chick McGee]

No, I'm not, but it sounds to me like it's in Wisconsin.

[Bob Kevoian]

It does sound beautiful. It's a lot quieter than Rice Krispies Lake, Wisconsin, I'll tell you that.

[Chick McGee]

Snap, crackle.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my God. He's a baby.

[Chick McGee]

He's mock clapping.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm so mad that he couldn't do 10 letters in a row.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yes.

[Chick McGee]

Such a baby. Anyway, from Rice Lake, Wisconsin.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yesterday, you guys were talking about Josh's picture with his pancakes. If you remember, Greg Warren took a snapshot of me syruping up my pancakes, and he's never seen a man more focused.

[Chick McGee]

Shut my eyes. I see that picture.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have a recipe for pancake pancakes you guys should try. Now, I appreciate this, but it's not for me. Tom, I'd like to know your go ahead on this. Instead of using vanilla extract in the mix, which I Don't. I do use. I do it for my waffles.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Use cake batter flavor.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Every bite is like biting into a piece of cake and the syrup adds to the fatty fat fatness of the meal. I appreciate that, but when I want pancakes, I don't want it tasting like anything but pancakes.

[Christy Lee]

That's fair.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd have to try, too.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know how I am open minded about.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like to give it a shot.

[Chick McGee]

What is it about waffles that you don't like? I've never understood this.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're delicious.

[Chick McGee]

Of everything you don't like.

[Christy Lee]

I don't get the same batter as pancakes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do you like them but you just prefer pancakes?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

So, you know, I'll eat them. I mean, I would never.

[Christy Lee]

You just don't like the holes. What are the squares? What?

[Chick McGee]

And I know you like the holes.

[Tom Griswold]

Holes.

[Chick McGee]

You got seven babies.

[Tom Griswold]

It's that one hole for show. I think waffles are too organized.

[Christy Lee]

Organized?

[Chick McGee]

You know, that whole says.

[Tom Griswold]

And then they're so selfish. You'll have one area that has syrup and then one that doesn't because there's always some walls.

[Christy Lee]

That's the great thing. You put syrup in every little square.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's how a liberal would do it because they want everything for everyone. It's typical socialist sentiment.

[Christy Lee]

We're making my waffle.

[Chick McGee]

Which are we this week? Are we liberal or conservative?

[Tom Griswold]

Whatever.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's keep people guessing.

[Tom Griswold]

Whatever suits the joke.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

But I still am angry about this whole red thing. I know reds used to be commies and now it's gone the other way. I don't know how that happened. They. How did they slip this by?

[Chick McGee]

I think the news teams, when they started red. Red states and blue states and the presidential.

[Tom Griswold]

So now where does that put pinkos? Now, are pinkos still commies? Yeah, sure. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

What.

[Chick McGee]

What's communist? Is Cuba communist?

[Tom Griswold]

That's it, right?

[Christy Lee]

Russia.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, China.

[Tom Griswold]

You got the Chinese Communist Party. Chinese Communist Party. They're doing really well. I don't know if you've seen the polls, but I believe that last Senate vote was 100 0.

[Chick McGee]

Again, I'm an enthusiastic tennis shoe buyer. I don't want to get any sideways with China.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I'm trying to get sideways.

[Chick McGee]

Or Vietnam.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, if it works for them, it's fine with me.

[Chick McGee]

I'm just saying, guess what time it is. Another look back at 2025 on the Bob and Tom Show. Are you ready? Yep. All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I love blimps.

[Chick McGee]

This has been a look. The Bob and Tom Show, 20, 25.

[Tom Griswold]

I love blimps, too. I'm a huge fan. When you see a blimp, you know something special is going on.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Unless you live near a blimp airport, which is if you're in the Akron area.

[Chick McGee]

Is there an airport that only specializes?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's where the good year blimp lives.

[Chick McGee]

There is? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't they have like, no. Seven of them? No.

[Chick McGee]

The Riverside, California is where the Goodyear blimp goes, at least.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a bunch of them and they have more than one.

[Chick McGee]

You know, there's something else going on at that airport other than blimps landing.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, of course, I hope not.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's not what you just said.

[Christy Lee]

We have to go.

[Chick McGee]

So this is the Christmas. Going to punch her out.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm in. I'm fully in favor of separate but equal airports for blimps. That's all I'm saying.

[Chick McGee]

That sounds. Now, see that, that sounds conservative.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. That would be. Would that be right wing or left? I forget. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Bob Kevoian]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold. Hey, how you doing, buddy?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm good. Visit Steven singer [e-mail] to find out why he's the most trusted jeweler in America. America. And the most hated jeweler in America by other jewelers. That's. I hate stevensinger.com.

[Chick McGee]

There'S Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee and hello, Tom. How are you?

[Tom Griswold]

Time to get to the important stuff. Pancakes. We were getting a mail about pancakes.

[Chick McGee]

You are pro pancake, anti waffle.

[Tom Griswold]

I just prefer pancakes. If I'm. And we would disagree. I like the very thin pan pancakes you like.

[Christy Lee]

A big Belgian waffle?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the thicker the better.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Thick with two Cs.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy, apparently you said this. Dear Bob and Tom show. I take one pancake, put an over easy egg on top of it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The yolk becomes syrup.

[Christy Lee]

That's exactly what I do.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's. I don't want a savory pancake.

[Christy Lee]

No, it's great.

[Chick McGee]

Nope.

[Bob Kevoian]

I bet it has its place. But I'm.

[Tom Griswold]

I will if. If I have to be anti something. I'm a fan of blueberries, but not the blueberry syrup.

[Christy Lee]

Too sweet.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I just want the maple syrup the way God intended.

[Christy Lee]

I agree with that.

[Tom Griswold]

And isn't maple syrup the only substance on earth that lasts forever? You don't have to refrigerate it. And what is God telling you by doing that peanut butter? He's saying, this is good.

[Chick McGee]

And I think side of beef lasts forever.

[Christy Lee]

Side of beef really depends on what kind.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

If you leave it outside, right.

[Tom Griswold]

With mayonnaise on it.

[Chick McGee]

You got you. You stole my recipe. Your mom and Tom show. Yes, I love to bother you at work. That's from mjf.

[Tom Griswold]

That's it?

[Chick McGee]

That's it. That's all it says. I love to bother you at work.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob at top show. I am flying over the Rocky Mountains right now and they are snow covered.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Chick McGee]

That's from Kim there. Tom. They got snow in the Rocky Mountain. You should have gone to the Rockies to ski. You ever been to the Rockies?

[Christy Lee]

Aren't you going to the Rockies?

[Tom Griswold]

Going to the Rockies to skate?

[Bob Kevoian]

I imagine those are those. The points she's talking about are rather inaccessible.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, have you ever thought about on the one of these ski trips that you might, you know, become stranded and you have to eat your fellow skiers? Have you ever thought about that?

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be weird.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I can see. I can see the wires from the chair lift from here, but I'm gonna have to eat.

[Bob Kevoian]

You a little worried about avalanches ever?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they have avalanche control, but yeah, you got to be careful.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now, how's that guys going? Hey, no, no. Somebody walked around.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's cool. They blow stuff up.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that seems like that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh. Sort of like controlled forest fires, causes.

[Chick McGee]

An avalanche, blowing stuff up.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll tell you what, I was on a gondola once and the guy got on with a beautiful dog and the dog had kind of a uniform on, whatever those things are, like a special coat. And I was kind of wondering what kind of dog it was.

[Chick McGee]

I bet he stared at this dog thinking he has a special coat on.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. No, but it wasn't surgeon. Well, kind of. Did he have the cask around his neck with liquor? No, no. That would have been funnier. It was a cadaver dog. The dog was being trained to.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. No joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Could dig out dead bodies in the snow.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's great.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Dead bodies in the snow.

[Chick McGee]

Merry Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Everywhere you go, my smell is in the.

[Tom Griswold]

They.

[Christy Lee]

You had to have asked.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course I asked. Yeah. They use rotting meat.

[Bob Kevoian]

Rotting me?

[Chick McGee]

It sounds like stinky food. Celebrate another memory from the Bob and Tom show in 2025. Are you ready?

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

Here we. Another memory from the Bob and Tom Show 2025.

[Bob Kevoian]

Winner of that contest of whatever that was.

[Christy Lee]

Was that in Ireland?

[Tom Griswold]

Scotland, wasn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Diddling championship.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah. Very. Certainly a nice, nice memory. Coming up in sports we will have.

[Chick McGee]

A Thursday night football Seahawks come back and win in overtime.

[Bob Kevoian]

38, 37. Who was the other team?

[Chick McGee]

The Rams. The Los Angeles Rams. Well, you really know nothing about football.

[Tom Griswold]

And a conversion.

[Christy Lee]

Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two point conversion.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You're talking about movie stars and TV stars with hit songs. I can't believe. Write Steve in Nashville, Music city, usa. I can't believe nobody mentioned David Hasselhoff.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Christy Lee]

He's big in Germany.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's the thing. See this. He had a number one song. But Christie's right.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He had the number one song called Looking for Freedom. Number one in Germany.

[Chick McGee]

Looking for freedom for eight weeks.

[Christy Lee]

We ever hear that here? I don't think.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't. But he was. We found freedom here.

[Chick McGee]

I thought he did have a hit here. Somewhat. Somewhat of it.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. But he is correct. David Hasselhoff is huge injury Germany. Derek from Somerville, South Carolina writes, you guys single handedly just whammed millions of people.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

For that whamageddon by playing the Wham.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

To avoid hearing that song. And again, I like that song. Sorry. I think. I think it's fine. Now we have time to have either one more letter or a quick story from the world of sports.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. Traffic is really bad in Lansing, Iowa this morning. They are going. They're trying to destroy a bridge that crossing the mighty Mississippi.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, blowing up a bridge over a major river does cause traffic.

[Christy Lee]

So we have a Lansing, Iowa and.

[Tom Griswold]

A Lansing, Michigan and a Lansing, New York.

[Chick McGee]

A mighty miss.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember yesterday? Yes. Was it Lansing, New York or Lansing Pennsylvania.

[Christy Lee]

We heard from Lansing, Michigan, yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I mean we always hear from Lansing.

[Chick McGee]

Lansing, California, yesterday. I thought.

[Tom Griswold]

No, wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Lansing, Iowa, today.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't want to do this.

[Christy Lee]

Someone reach out to me and say, why were you talking about Lansing, Michigan? Because I'm from there, that's why.

[Chick McGee]

I know the implosion scheduled for 9am this morning, Iowa time.

[Tom Griswold]

So good morning in Lansing.

[Chick McGee]

All right, well, Lansing, Iowa, nice heads.

[Bob Kevoian]

Up for dozens of people.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the. What's the town on the other side. What's the town on the other side of the river called? Ann Arbor.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you know what? You know what time it is? Oh, no, that's not right. Hang on. It's everyone's favorite time of the year. Time that warms our hearts. That's right. It's time for Chick McGee's Christmas kitten story.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that right? Hey, you brought up cadaver dogs?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah, you asked.

[Christy Lee]

No, not really.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

My father found. Got his mom and dad got him a kitten for Christmas one morning and went down to the. Very excited. Ran down to the tree and the. The kitten had hung itself in the lights.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean hanged.

[Chick McGee]

But I'm not the Christmas. The kids. And Christmas was no more.

[Tom Griswold]

You can kill the music.

[Chick McGee]

Merry Christmas. I think it adds. It's a smoky truck.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, Paul and Utica.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, we. We still have time for getting some gifts out there for the holiday season, including those great steaks from Omaha Steaks. Josh is our steak authority.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. Thank you, Tom. Deliver all the warmth, joy and magic of the season from America's original butcher, Omaha Steaks.

[Tom Griswold]

Man.

[Bob Kevoian]

Plump, juicy air. Chilled chicken. I like to make extra. Cut it up and put it in salads other times of the week.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just delicious. Big boof.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't help him. Let him get out of this himself. Stand back.

[Bob Kevoian]

Big beefy burgers.

[Chick McGee]

There it is. Not big boofy beef beakers. Big goofy beakers. They are juicy, man. They're so juicy they make your mouth go all funny. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I like to make extra. And cut them up and put them in salads later. Scrumptious sides, which I like to make extra of. Cut up and put it in salads and desserts like caramel apple tartlets.

[Tom Griswold]

I would not recommend cutting those up and putting them in salads. But I suppose.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, but I tell you what, a scoop of ice cream on there and those things are heavenly. With giftable favorites. All right. This is poor writing. With giftable favorites. Features legendary. None of that makes sense. So I'm gonna. I'm gonna fix it on the fly.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, legendary USDA certified tender steaks are available.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like bacon wrapped filets, mignon, top sirloin filets, and so much more. And I suggest wearing a top hat while eating top sirloin.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's being nice.

[Chick McGee]

Monocle.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be great at restaurants if you had to. If they made people wear different hats based on their order.

[Bob Kevoian]

I would love that. Yes, he's right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like the French dip. You have to put on a beret. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

You could scan the restaurant real quick and tell what people are eating.

[Christy Lee]

Everybody's eating.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You like that? You like to ask people, what is that? That looks good.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I just told someone that runs a fancy restaurant. Since you have to get the menu on your phone anyway, why don't you put pictures of the food?

[Chick McGee]

That's so incredibly rude.

[Bob Kevoian]

Check out Omaha Steaks dot com. What you eating over there? 35.

[Christy Lee]

Don't they change their menu daily? Wouldn't that be very time consuming?

[Tom Griswold]

No, just swap the picture.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Top Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the SILAC Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hello. Jess Hooker's here.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

She is the most wintry of all of us. She's got two or three scarves on and a knit hat.

[Tom Griswold]

And you got a green Christmasy hat and a scarf with some red in it, looking very Christmassy. I just walked in here. You said you're doing shots.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I did a shot of cinnamon vodka. I thought it'd make me feel better, but then I remembered that's bourbon. That's good for the throat, not vodka.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you have a sore throat.

[Christy Lee]

Vodka's good for the brain, not the throat. The brain made me do some stupid stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

So you want some bourbon? I can't find any bourbon. I'm sure. Look around. I have some of my room right there. Field of Dreams bourbon. I got some in the car.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Right here. Oh, you have some in that glass. Right here we have the Father Time bourbon from our friend Jim Gaffigan.

[Christy Lee]

Let's go.

[Tom Griswold]

You want to try one of these?

[Chick McGee]

Let's go.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I do. I'll try some.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, give me a second. This is a letter that begins with no relevance to our topic, but ends with something that will actually answer a question I asked a few minutes ago.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Not by. Not by intention. Does that make sense?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from a person with a typewriter. A mark.

[Christy Lee]

It's a typewriter.

[Chick McGee]

That's all it takes.

[Tom Griswold]

Hooked up to a computer.

[Chick McGee]

That's how you get on the show.

[Tom Griswold]

This would appear to be typewritten to me.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Mark.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark. Writes, I was flying from Missouri back home to Texas. I was in the TSA line holding a cold bottle of water. The TSA agent kindly told me I would either have to step aside and drink it or throw it away. I had just purchased it. So I stood to the side and chugged the bottle of water.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I got back in line, and the kind TSA agent said, hey, do you have ice cream head? And I said, what? She said, you know when you drink something cold too fast? Oh, you mean a brain freeze? I thought you guys would appreciate that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ice cream head.

[Christy Lee]

That's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the ice cream has something different, but. Oh, of course.

[Christy Lee]

What is that?

[Tom Griswold]

What would the year be about another. Another trip down vulgar road?

[Chick McGee]

I put an ice cube in the girl's mouth, right?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wrong orifice.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, the man can do it, too.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I was. So now our guest here, Mark, is from Springfield, Missouri. And a few minutes ago, I said, is Springfield the most common name? Springfield cities.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And none of us cared because we found out that there's a Lansing in a whole bunch of different states. But the most common name of American cities. There's more than 30 Springfields across the country. Okay, so Springfield is the clear winner.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but listen to this. You'll be very surprised. Cities named after presidents.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

It'S the holiday. I just think it's quite surprising that essentially, other than Madison, the in second place is Clinton.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's a Clinton, Ohio. Yeah, a lot of Clinton and Clintonville, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Columbia.

[Christy Lee]

Bob and Tom show. I'm enjoying your blimp program.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can't be.

[Christy Lee]

In Hartville, Ohio, which is next to Suffield, Ohio, the home of the Goodyear blimp. I see it flying over my house all the time. And yes, it's housed in a blimp hangar. And it's officially known as the Wing Foot Lake Airship Operations Balloon Port. And there's no other aircraft activity there but the blimps.

[Tom Griswold]

So I'm right.

[Chick McGee]

What is it about me that I hope the blimp hangar is shaped like a blimp? Why do I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, you do want it to be, doesn't it?

[Christy Lee]

It don't you think?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think it's big and square.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the heating bill on that place?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

Why would that jump to mind, you think?

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, do they have to keep it hard?

[Chick McGee]

Is it difficult to keep a blimp hot?

[Christy Lee]

Don't they let. Don't they let the air out when they Storm?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

Let out the helium. Helium's expensive.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it always.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why they're switching. That's why they're switching back to hydrogen.

[Chick McGee]

No, blimps are.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't light that cigarette, Lloyd.

[Chick McGee]

Blimps are always folding ready. They never know when they have to go out.

[Christy Lee]

That's true.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Blimp it up.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, if you're a blimp pilot, call us. I want to know. I have some questions.

[Bob Kevoian]

Come on.

[Chick McGee]

What are you doing to us?

[Tom Griswold]

No, we have. I have actually, Michael, I have written in one of the Goodyear blimps.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you scared? No, it's cool.

[Chick McGee]

I wrote in the Disney blimp. I wrote in the Diet Pepsi blimp.

[Christy Lee]

We wrote in the Budweiser Fuji blimp. Bunch of blimps.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the. The cabin is quite small.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

See, I thought it was like this.

[Tom Griswold]

Giant party room, like a conference, like.

[Bob Kevoian]

In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

It's all open and people are just wandering around and they do and dancing.

[Chick McGee]

They have a door in the back where there's a hole in the floor, and that's where you urinate.

[Christy Lee]

Are you serious?

[Chick McGee]

Am I right?

[Tom Griswold]

They. They. They had a funnel emergency. The newer blimps, they. I think they've gone a little more.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think the Hindenburg is. Was similar to kind of what you were talking about, Jessica.

[Tom Griswold]

And wasn't that a dirigible? Wasn't. Isn't there something about the structure. I don't know. That was full of hydrogen. That's why it blew up. Yeah, that's why. Those T shirts I made a few years ago. Hydrogen laws suck.

[Christy Lee]

A few years ago, didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

They didn't sell real well.

[Christy Lee]

Take off. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought it was quite clever. Had a picture of the. Had a picture of the Hindenburg.

[Chick McGee]

Their Bob and Tom show melting.

[Tom Griswold]

You guys are legends.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a truck driver from Michigan. When Josh Arnold goes into his Omaha State commercial, I always almost spit a mouthful of orange juice all over the windshield of my truck. Thank you for the great laughs, joy, and total distraction from the awful life. Keep up the great work. Look forward to hearing all of you in 2026. P.S. chick, congratulations on your retirement. Well, thank you very much.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, thank you for what you do. And may 2026 bring you nothing but drivers in the left lane. When you put your blinker on, sir, they allow you to come over.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Instead of speeding up, I always let them.

[Chick McGee]

That is a big wish for the truckers.

[Bob Kevoian]

Christy speeds up.

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

He was telling us.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Guess what time it is. Another memory from the Bob and Tom Show. 2025. Are you ready?

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, time now for what?

[Tom Griswold]

I think.

[Chick McGee]

I think with Chick McGee.

[Christy Lee]

Are you thinking something?

[Chick McGee]

That's another memory from what?

[Christy Lee]

I think you're supposed to fill that in.

[Chick McGee]

I'm supposed to do that?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I thought it was a memory of me thinking before. Oh, we'll have more coming up later.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, one day we didn't remember it.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom Show, Happy holidays from Chris and Marion, Ohio. Watching Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer thought of Tom. I know how much he hates musicals. Is that true? I thought you loved musical.

[Christy Lee]

Musical.

[Chick McGee]

Does he consider Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer a musical?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. They break into songs.

[Chick McGee]

Do you love it or hate it?

[Tom Griswold]

I love that. Yeah, of course. I just went to see a musical over the weekend.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, gee, I hadn't heard about that.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah?

[Tom Griswold]

Which one did you.

[Chick McGee]

I hope it was Hamilton. That's a great show.

[Tom Griswold]

It was Hamilton.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I was hoping it was going to be west side Story or Bye Bye Birdie, but no, it was great. No, I love musicals.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you just buy a ticket that said theater and you didn't know what you were gonna see?

[Tom Griswold]

A subscription. That's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

That would be fun. Random theater.

[Christy Lee]

I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

That would be cool.

[Chick McGee]

That's the best movies I see. You know, you don't know. You've heard. Heard the title, but you just go in and you haven't read the synopsis. Don't they call it Raw Dog in it or something? Isn't that what they call it?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there's.

[Tom Griswold]

That could be dog.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of things.

[Tom Griswold]

That can be great, though.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course I went. I was taken to Dear Evan Hansen. I never didn't. Never. I'd never heard of it. Didn't know anything about it. Yeah, the. The. Not the movie. The stage was amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, Willie's contention is that he had told you about it months before you saw it.

[Tom Griswold]

And I forgot.

[Chick McGee]

We all. We all believe that. Dear Bob and Tom show specifically for Tom. I dropped a large wad of cash on the ground last week. Oh. The wind started to blow some of the bills away, and remembering my training, I simply bent down and picked up the cash and wadded each individual up and put it back down on the ground.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's foolish.

[Chick McGee]

And picked them up like Tom.

[Christy Lee]

If you're picking them up, why don't you just put them in your pocket?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, because you can't there. It was a. There was a stiff wind.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can still hold them in your hands.

[Tom Griswold]

Them.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You're handling them twice.

[Tom Griswold]

At the time, I. I got. I had all the money in your pants. That bank's closed now.

[Christy Lee]

That had something to do with it.

[Tom Griswold]

Where that event took place.

[Christy Lee]

I know exactly what bank you're talking.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but, you know, I. All the money came out of the ATM and it just. All the 20 bills started flying all over the place. I have never grabbed them, crunch them. So they.

[Christy Lee]

That was years ago. The ATMs.

[Chick McGee]

ATM, they put a. They. They have a vice on the money now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank goodness. Yeah. I'm sure that. Because it's happening to many people.

[Tom Griswold]

And then someone thought of the great idea. They don't give you the money that you take your card back out. Right.

[Christy Lee]

So you can't forget your card.

[Tom Griswold]

A simple idea that's very effective.

[Christy Lee]

How many times did you forget your card?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's not get into personal things here.

[Chick McGee]

Do you have any Christmas music over there? Because I have a present I'd like to give out. I have presents for everybody, but only two came in and they're going to have to stand in for presents for the people in this room. And then I got everybody else a gift as well. But not the okay, double up gift. Josh, if you'd open your bag from me. It's down there. It's the lovely gift bag. It is that one that says Josh. Yes. Open that up. And what does it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Man, just again.

[Tom Griswold]

Look at that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is as professional as anything I've ever seen.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you know, let me see.

[Bob Kevoian]

You almost don't want to open it.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you enjoy doing it?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I love wrapping.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you want my razor knife?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I'm good. I have fingernails. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I have my rule grip. I only have.

[Christy Lee]

You don't need a box cutter to get open wrapping paper.

[Chick McGee]

Why do you.

[Tom Griswold]

I use a box cutter to open my gum.

[Chick McGee]

I use a box cut cutter to open my gum because he'll cut his.

[Christy Lee]

Skin and bleed out.

[Bob Kevoian]

So let's see here. Oh, I. I enjoy what it says on the outside here.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, it absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

It looks like a tiny brief and it says. Oh, these are rad.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, this is awesome. What is it? It says Axe Heaven miniature guitar and it's their license and endorsed by great artists. So maybe I got somebody.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pertains to me.

[Christy Lee]

So it's.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like it's a mini classic. Hold that up.

[Bob Kevoian]

I will. I'm still opening it.

[Tom Griswold]

My razor knife.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you take the razor. Knife.

[Tom Griswold]

Knife.

[Chick McGee]

And cut him.

[Bob Kevoian]

My gosh. Who do I have here? Look at this cool thing.

[Chick McGee]

Look at that. Look at that. Oh, wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Little tiny guitar, this sound garden.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Man. And it's got little strings that actually pluck.

[Chick McGee]

Now, Ace, open up your bag. Yours also came in your little box.

[Tom Griswold]

Hold it up so we can see it.

[Bob Kevoian]

These are cool.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I'm sorry, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

There you go. Look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Like a Gibson.

[Bob Kevoian]

So now whenever people say now, I can tell people I play a little guitar. You play any musical instruments? I play a little guitar.

[Chick McGee]

And I got Ace a Kiss guitar and hat. That's for later. Thanks, Ace. And there's the Kiss guitar. I believe it's Aces guitar. I think. Something. Something about glass or something. It's a classic. A. A little mini guitar just like that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very cool.

[Chick McGee]

And I got you because you're you. I got you two Dwayne Almond guitars like this. And I got Les Paul. You can't leave Pat out. I got Pat Brownie Clapton's guitar. And I got Christie. Peter Frampton's Phoenix. They're all. They're all coming today. So you won't get them until you see my tired ass sometime in 2027.

[Christy Lee]

I thought you were retiring.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly. I said 2027. Oh, yeah, it's Paul Stanley model. There you go. Paul Stanley. There you go. It's very sweet.

[Christy Lee]

Awesome.

[Chick McGee]

And it does have actual strings on. And a little stand.

[Bob Kevoian]

And you can keep it.

[Chick McGee]

And these are actually endorsed by the Rock and Roll hall of Fame.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pretty cool. Thank you very much, man.

[Chick McGee]

You're welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

We will continue opening gifts and we'll also check in with the world of sports. We also have some interesting semi Christmas related stories. But one of the ones I'm excited about today we have the list from two states of forbidden vanity license plates. For example, in the state of Indiana, you cannot get a license plate that.

[Christy Lee]

Says hock to a. Yeah, well, that makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

Or fart car.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can't get fart car.

[Chick McGee]

No, see that Only I don't want.

[Bob Kevoian]

To live in a world where you can't.

[Chick McGee]

That only makes me to want one Fart car. I would have never thought about fart car if you hadn't brought it up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Exactly.

[Christy Lee]

That's funny.

[Tom Griswold]

There are several others you can't get. Including Poopy.

[Christy Lee]

You can't get hooker.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's your last name.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It doesn't matter. You can show them your driver's license and everything.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Christy Lee]

I'm not gonna give it to you.

[Tom Griswold]

No, No. I suppose out too, probably. Yeah, that's out too.

[Christy Lee]

Poop sack is on the one in Ohio. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have the parking lot. The lights are on. License plate is poopy. P O, P. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You've got to be careful with some of these, too, if you want to get your car keyed. You may want to. You may want to think again. Also coming up, we have another list of the most annoying songs. Not Christmas songs, just the most annoying songs of 2025 and a sweet donkey in the news. Plus a Christmas world record on the way. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the SILAC insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jess Hooker.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Hello. Josh Arnold.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick McGee and. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a couple success stories already from gift giving. Yeah, I got this one from Tina. Huge fan of the Aura frame we've been reminding you about. Aura, the frame where you. She's been downloading lots and lots of pictures of little kids. These are just absolutely wonderful. A terrific gift. How about this one? Dear Bob and Tom show, writes Mark from Lincoln, Nebraska. I received my Bob and Tom coast to coast hoodie. It has completely ended my productivity. I put it on and become couch bound. Oh, very comfy, soft, warm. Apparently designed to eliminate ambition. Well, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Is that. That's your. People who wear sweatpants are just lazy and just Lay there.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

That's why you don't wear them.

[Tom Griswold]

No, that's not what I wear them. I don't find them comfortable. The.

[Chick McGee]

You don't find sweatpants comfortable?

[Tom Griswold]

No. There's no pocket for your wallet.

[Christy Lee]

There's pockets and sweatband pants.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

On the side.

[Christy Lee]

They have them in the back too, depending on what kind you.

[Pat Godwin]

I wear.

[Bob Kevoian]

I do have a pair now and I wear them when I don't ever need my pockets.

[Chick McGee]

That's why.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

I wouldn't wear them out. Would you guys? No.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That is not the, the current trend. I noticed.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, here we go. I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Extraordinarily expensive sweatpants on ladies, particularly young ladies.

[Chick McGee]

You like the, you like the juicy atmosphere, don't you? You, you like that juicy.

[Tom Griswold]

I never liked those. Yeah, that's over, isn't it?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's over.

[Tom Griswold]

The ones with juicy on the ass.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Yeah. I had Adidas track pants on in the green room the other day. Tom comes in, he goes, women are doing this. The sweatpants in public. Women are doing this sweatpants in public. And I, I thought, you know what, a high. A good morning would have sufficed. That would have been enough.

[Tom Griswold]

I just have noticed. I mean, it's everywhere now.

[Christy Lee]

Michelle, who's in South Dakota has a similar story as this gentleman. She actually is fighting pneumonia and she has to be off work for another week. But she said she was pleasantly surprised to get her great new hoodie in the mail. And she said thank you so much for the distraction. It made me feel better right away.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, good.

[Christy Lee]

I hope you feel better, Michelle.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just gave you guys a little ancillary gift.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, here we go ahead and.

[Christy Lee]

Looks like a magnet.

[Bob Kevoian]

They are. They are magnets. Refrigerator.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's a picture of your little kitty.

[Chick McGee]

It's a picture. Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

And she's saying it's peace. She's always accusing me of abusing her. So.

[Chick McGee]

She looks abused in this.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, she looks like she is accusing you of abuse.

[Tom Griswold]

She looks very sinister. Yes, this is a sinister look. Thank you, Josh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We do have to check in briefly with the sports scene.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Seattle Seahawks rally to stun the Rams and take a one game lead in the NFC West. Sam Dam Darnold connected with Jackson Smith and Jigba for a touchdown and overtime. Then hit a wide open Eric Slobbert for the winning two point conversion. Seahawks beat the Rams 38 37. But with about six minutes to go, the Seahawks scored a two point conversion. That apparently was a backwards pass and it was actually a Fumble. And the Seahawks just very casually picked it up in the end zone and it counts as two points. So they explained. But luckily they were playing in Seattle and not in Los Angeles. They would have torn the stadium apart. But yeah, that's how that went. So Seahawks went 38, 37. And Detroit Lions wide receiver Aman ra St. Brown says he was told to stop his touchdown celebrations that involve booger flicking.

[Tom Griswold]

Sick.

[Chick McGee]

During last weekend's game against the Rams, Mr. St. Brown. That's right. Aman ra and fellow wide receiver Jameson Williams and running back Jameer Gibbs seen pretending to dig into their nose and flick away their boogers. Celebration appeared to run afoul with referees.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

During Amanra's podcast, he told his brother Equanimous, we do it after the first drive. Our wide. Our receivers coach says, hey, man, ref said you can't do that no more. Equanimius responded by saying the NFL is anti fun. The Atlantic notes that nose picking is not among the band gestures listed in Rule 12, Section 3 of the NFL Rulebook.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I am surprised that that's banned.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they ban the one where you pretend you're pooping the football?

[Chick McGee]

I think they probably did.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm not sure if they banned the boogers. Not the pooping.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who's done that?

[Christy Lee]

Who's done that?

[Chick McGee]

It looks like they're laying an egg or having the football. So I guess you could make the jump.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's supposed to be laying an egg.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I didn't realize. I think you probably see that a lot everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

What's his guy's name again?

[Chick McGee]

Look at the world. Amon Ra Saint Brown and Equanimous Saint Brown.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys.

[Chick McGee]

Their father was a bodybuilder and like a world record setting. He's crazy. Their mom's from Germany. They speak fluent German. It's interesting. Interesting family.

[Tom Griswold]

That name sounds like a magic spell that'll open your garage door.

[Chick McGee]

I think. I think their dad let them choose their names. I believe like 15, 16 along in there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no kidding.

[Christy Lee]

What they call him up to that?

[Chick McGee]

X and Z. That's a. That's an offensive NFL joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Never mind. Back to the. The. You can't. They were faking picking their noses.

[Chick McGee]

I. I did not see it. But it's. It sounds just like fun.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I don't know. It'd be pretty funny to do after a pick six. That would at least make sense, don't you think?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You intercept the ball, run it into the end. The end.

[Chick McGee]

Well, really, any interception could Be called a pick. Doesn't have to be a pick. Six.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You don't want to do every time.

[Christy Lee]

You pick your nose.

[Chick McGee]

You want to limit the defensive backs.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

An interception or a pick.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Very good. We'll see. Is that sports?

[Chick McGee]

No. Tom. Man. Oh, geez. Are we to this already? There are two of them today. Of course. It's a Christmas miracle. A man has broken the Guinness world record for the longest marathon singing Christmas songs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Man.

[Chick McGee]

David purchase sang for 42 hours to beat the previous record of 40 hours. Almost two days singing Christmas classics. All of them from Mariah Carey to Wham. Battling extreme fatigue and even hallucinations. To achieve the record, he chose 38 songs, which he repeated 18 times each.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Making a total of 684 songs. Between each song, you could take a break of just 20 seconds. That's crazy. What do you think of that?

[Bob Kevoian]

Have a drink, a bite of sandwich. And he's back at it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

On the 12th house of the day.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think that should be. He should have. Aren't you think there are 684 different Christmas songs.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. So why does he.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you're only going to know the handful of them. Well, how many do you think? You know, maybe 50. Maybe. Maybe. If you want to do the classics. Feliz Navidad. But by these rules, you can just imagine that one. That's bad.

[Bob Kevoian]

You hate that one. I like that one.

[Chick McGee]

You could just sing Jingle Bells over and over again.

[Bob Kevoian]

In fact, I don't think Felice Navidad is. Is among the hated songs.

[Christy Lee]

No, it was one of the most annoying. It was on the list.

[Tom Griswold]

It's so repetitive.

[Bob Kevoian]

Isn't it funny how divisive these are.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Not only that, but it keeps people apart.

[Bob Kevoian]

It really does.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I bet he's looking forward to a.

[Bob Kevoian]

Silent night, his neighbors.

[Chick McGee]

For sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Was he at a mall or something? That's probably even worse. Hey, if you go down, go down in front of the gap, there's a guy singing Christmas songs. He's already been doing it for a day. Great. Thanks very much. No, thank you. We have another world record.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, we do. A donkey in Georgia is hoping to break a Guinness World Record with his giant ears.

[Christy Lee]

Aw.

[Chick McGee]

I see. Reports are the donkey named Hope has ears measuring 15 inches long. That beats the current record of 13.8 inches. After getting Hope's ears measured by a veterinarian, owner Hannah Frost is now gathering the proper paperwork to make Hope's record official. Hope the donkey is a rescue Donkey from Arkansas that came to her owner, Hannah Frost. Very extremely underweight.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

She is the sweetest donkey. Says her owner.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a picture. Yeah, those big ears.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ears? I, I, you wouldn't know.

[Tom Griswold]

What a sweet ass.

[Bob Kevoian]

You wouldn't know. She was a record.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there's a donkey.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there's a donkey in that picture.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the ears are pointing forward so you can't get a good feel for how.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, but even if you just saw.

[Christy Lee]

That picture, you wouldn't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

And they were straight up, you would go, oh, that's a record breaking donkey.

[Tom Griswold]

Never.

[Chick McGee]

You would not.

[Tom Griswold]

I know another record. Donkey ears are King Charles of England as the biggest ears on a honky.

[Bob Kevoian]

On a honking.

[Chick McGee]

All right, you say a honky, honky, honky.

[Tom Griswold]

He's your honky.

[Chick McGee]

Honky Donkey king England.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a honky.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's a honky.

[Chick McGee]

And some, you know what?

[Tom Griswold]

Some folks think he's the biggest jackass. It depends on your.

[Chick McGee]

He does have big ears though. Does he?

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, we're acting like just because he's the king, we're ignoring that big earth.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Looks like a car with a door.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have a, a couple of surprise Christmas guests. I don't know who these people are. We'll look forward to that.

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee's at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, there's Pat Godwin. Hello, there's Jess Hooker. Hi, there's Josh Arnold. I bet he's at the ih. Steven Singer sidekick Chair. There's Ace Cosby. Harry, we're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick Magee and Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. I understand we have a satellite hook up here and we're going to go to somewhere in the North Pole, I believe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Howdy. Howdy, Howdy. It's Jeff Oscar at the failed Dimension news desk. How are you guys doing this morning, Jeff? Feeling great. We give you a lot of the news each week. We don't give you all the news. So I'm here to give you the news that we failed to mention.

[Chick McGee]

Here's Jeff Oskay with failed to mention news.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you guys see this last week. Last week, a woman gave birth in a Waymo on her way to the hospital. What? You failed to mention. Good idea. The hospital would have been way more expensive.

[Tom Griswold]

Bravo.

[Bob Kevoian]

A man had his neighbor arrested for assault after he was hit by snow from the neighbor snowblower. What? You failed to mention. My suggestion to the man who was arrested. Next time, use a snow shovel. Same assault charge, Waymo. Painful.

[Chick McGee]

Way more.

[Tom Griswold]

Could be a theme.

[Chick McGee]

Way more painful.

[Tom Griswold]

They come in three.

[Bob Kevoian]

We heard that more and more men are having realistic sex dolls made of their deceased wives. Well, you failed to mention they're super realistic. While you're laying there, Pois coitus. She wants to discuss the grocery budget.

[Tom Griswold]

That's real. Very real.

[Bob Kevoian]

You see, someone somewhere said if you rub a potato on your car windshield, it will help prevent fog and ice. Well, you failed to mention a rider. Now I'm off to rust it up. Another stupid idea. A little late on the rim shot there. Oh, did you guys see this? This? Just this week, there's a new blizzard brew made from snow from the high mark. Stadium of the Buffalo Bills.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

What you failed to mention. I tried a can last night. Not bad. If you can overlook the peanut shells and discarded band aids, Cloud Dancer is the new pantone color of the year. What? You failed to mention. The color is so white. How white is it that it summers in the Hamptons and winters with the Griswolds and Vale.

[Chick McGee]

That is white.

[Bob Kevoian]

And finally, a teen ended up in the ER after sticking a charger cord in his urethra. Well, you failed to mention. The issue was he used a lightning cable and his penis takes a USB C. I'm Jeff. Oscar. And this was the news. And we failed to mention. Happy holidays, everybody.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Jeffrey. Very good, very good, very good.

[Christy Lee]

Thanks for not doing a rant.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I thought we might get to this license plate thing. This is kind of interesting. Does anybody here have a vanity plate?

[Christy Lee]

I do.

[Chick McGee]

You told me that a long time ago.

[Christy Lee]

My husband does.

[Chick McGee]

And you said, look, don't you. Aren't you in danger of getting your car keyed enough? And to tell everybody this is your.

[Tom Griswold]

Car, but you have one. You have a special vehicle.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it just says Figaro on it.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's the name of your. The name of the. What is it? A Japanese.

[Christy Lee]

It's actually a Figaro because Figaro has already been taken, so I had to put an A in front of it. A space Figaro. But my husband has a. I don't know if you call it vanity. Personalized plate. He picked number. Couple numbers, a letter and then a couple more numbers.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that.

[Bob Kevoian]

That something that means.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Something to him. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I have a couple. You have the list from Ohio, right?

[Christy Lee]

I do, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Plates you can't get.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In Ohio. What are they?

[Christy Lee]

Well, one of them is 0081 ES.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's boobies.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Boobies.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's really ubis. I don't get where that.

[Christy Lee]

Well, it kind of looks like two. Maybe two boobs. Because it's zero. Zero. Is that.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that a testament of the American spirit? We're trying to figure out how to spell boobies.

[Christy Lee]

8, 0, up and back of 1.

[Tom Griswold]

Trying to figure out what they're saying.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I do, too. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's one you can't get in the state of Indiana. Purdue. P, R, D, U, C, H, E. Okay. You can't.

[Chick McGee]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

And you can't get an anti. Duke University 1. I won't say what it says because I can't. Oh, there's conversely, by the way, for Indiana, there's. You can't get I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Notre. Damn it. You can't get Notre damage.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, there isn't. There is an anti Notre Dame when you're not allowed to get your right pat. It is not notre damage, is it? But I'm sure you can't get that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think it was just making a little joke.

[Christy Lee]

Here are some Ohio ones. In Ohio, you can't get. I'm gonna spell this out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

T, A C, O all together. T, A, C, O SLT oh, wow. Okay.

That's just because it's so dated.

[Christy Lee]

[Tom Griswold]

You think there's a guy in our.

[Bob Kevoian]

The dumper is hilarious.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what he does. I don't know. Text. He dumps something, but it just doesn't.

[Christy Lee]

They had to have.

They're probably illegal.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. I don't know if they have lorry nuts in England.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I would hope.

[Bob Kevoian]

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have. We have two surprise Christmas guests, and we got to start opening some presents here.

There's Jess Hooker.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold. Hello. There's Ace Cosby. How's that coffee today, Josh?

[Bob Kevoian]

It's convincing yet unassuming.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, interesting. I'm Chick McGee and it's Christmas time. Hello, Tom. It's a time for our convincing.

[Tom Griswold]

But unassuming and yet pretentious.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, very.

Yes, yes. And tepid. Now, apparently, we have our surprise international guest joining us.

[Christy Lee]

Internationals International.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. Oh, wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, there they are.

[Tom Griswold]

It's my sister Jan and. And her boyfriend.

[Bob Kevoian]

She has a boyfriend? Boyfriend?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Andy Newmarket, long term partner. Hey, Andrew. Hey, Jan. How you doing?

[Pat Godwin]

Merry Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll know. You'll never guess what I just ate. Amy, my trusty assistant just made my mother's breakfast rolls from the recipe that our mom. They were delightful. I wish I could send them through the screen to you one of these days. Yeah, absolutely Delicious.

[Bob Kevoian]

And did you note that Jan called Tom Butch?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Always has. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

An odd nickname that I picked up for my dislike of getting haircuts. Andrew, how are you this morning, sir?

[Pat Godwin]

Good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Excellent.

[Tom Griswold]

I understand that you make a guest appearance on the new Pat Godwin project coming out in 2026. He does indeed. Three songs.

[Chick McGee]

I did. He was great.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did. I. I played the drums on Pat's music.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you like the songs?

[Pat Godwin]

I did like the songs, yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That was my heart.

[Chick McGee]

They. They stunk on ice.

[Christy Lee]

I played anyway.

[Tom Griswold]

Andrew is a distinguished. Distinguished drummer. Are you doing many gigs these days?

[Pat Godwin]

No, none.

[Bob Kevoian]

Except for Pat.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, where would we have heard some of Andrew's work?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see. With John Lennon, with Roxy Music. He was with us. Sly in the Family Stone with a Pat Godwin.

[Bob Kevoian]

Amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Sly Stone just passed not too long ago. The great Sly Stone. And there's a great story about Andrew meeting Mr. Stone. He was in the. In the bedroom. Is that correct?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that is correct.

[Tom Griswold]

And I believe his question to you was, are you funky? And I'm trying to remember, did you then do a audition onto a actual drum? Did he have that in the bedroom or were you doing it on the nightstand?

[Bob Kevoian]

It was what they call it, like a practice drum set. They weren't real drums. They were these little round things that were sort of silent. A lot of drummers had them back.

[Pat Godwin]

Then because you could practice in the.

[Bob Kevoian]

House and not make noise, but it simulated a drum set, so.

[Tom Griswold]

But there in the bedroom, he thought you were good enough.

[Bob Kevoian]

He did.

[Tom Griswold]

When he passed away, they were. There was a lot of footage of sliding that. There's a number with you and you had the. The. The. The white man's fro. Andrew.

[Bob Kevoian]

You sure that was me?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You had a lot of hair back then. You still have a. Leave a lot of hair now. Congratulations. Yeah, yeah, because I don't.

[Bob Kevoian]

Because, yeah, Greg. Greg, the pre. The original drummer, had a lot of hair as well, so. But, yeah, I had. I had hair down to my shoulders.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Those were the days. You also played with Carly Simon and. And many others.

[Pat Godwin]

And Brian Ferri, Roxy Music.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, Jan, Tom's sister, Jan. Did you meet Andrew at a gig? Did you see him playing? And you went, I need to meet that man?

[Pat Godwin]

No, no, I was friends with the manager, Steve Jensen, the manager of Brian Ferrier in those days, and. Which is about 38 years ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he fix you up?

[Pat Godwin]

Pardon me?

[Tom Griswold]

Did he say, I want you to Meet this guy.

[Pat Godwin]

We were in Cleveland, actually, strangely enough, and he went to Stouffer, a restaurant Tom will know. And he sat me next to Andrew and we just got chatting.

[Tom Griswold]

And did Andrew get a word in edgewise? Tom?

[Pat Godwin]

Very funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Mr. Chick McGee is here and. And he's. He's a big fan of England and he.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, I'll be there someday. Yeah, I'll stay away. It's fine.

[Tom Griswold]

He may come visit you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good.

[Pat Godwin]

Look what we found today, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my goodness. There we are.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's the Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone magazine. We were on the COVID when we won the radio station of the year.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you get that done in like a Six Flags? That's real.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. That was real.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't even think I have one. One of those. That's great. Is that the magazine or just the.

[Christy Lee]

COVID Oh, it's the magazine.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just the COVID Okay. Yeah, because there's that magazine.

[Pat Godwin]

Reader's poll.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the reader's poll. We won it there. That was really cool. Well, do you guys have your house all Christmasyed up? We do a bit, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Christmas tree and a few bits and pieces.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it a real tree?

[Pat Godwin]

No, we couldn't be bothered with the real tree.

[Tom Griswold]

The fake tree is pretty good. Well, I'm sure Sam that'll be reflective it in Santa's gift, I think. But.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, we have lots of things wander around the staircase railings and stuff. So we are making a bit of an effort.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, good. Well, it's great seeing you guys. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to call.

[Christy Lee]

I have a question real quick.

[Pat Godwin]

I hope you have a great Christmas with the girls.

[Tom Griswold]

Go ahead.

[Pat Godwin]

Enjoy your.

[Tom Griswold]

Jessica.

[Christy Lee]

Jan, do you have any funny stories from Tom around Christmas time when you guys were kids growing up?

[Tom Griswold]

Anything? Well, Jan was out of the house. Jen's so much older than I am.

[Chick McGee]

She'd come home for Christmas probably, right.

[Christy Lee]

She'd come visit and I'm sure you were you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

In fact, I'm getting the feeling Tom's trying to hide.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Manager answer.

[Chick McGee]

Well, how many Christmases did you ruin, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

I think I ruined any.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm nine years older, but I. I'm sure I remember Tom being around for Christmas and I was there, I'm sure a lot of the time.

[Bob Kevoian]

Was he well behaved or was he irascible?

[Tom Griswold]

School.

[Pat Godwin]

Pretty. Pretty well behaved.

[Tom Griswold]

There's no. There's nothing there.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I think she's hiding. Don't keep probing. We don't have any.

[Bob Kevoian]

There was the Diarrhea incident.

[Tom Griswold]

Jackpot. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that was great.

[Christy Lee]

Andy has a story.

[Bob Kevoian]

But that was only five years ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thanks guys.

[Christy Lee]

It's great to see you.

[Tom Griswold]

Good to see you.

[Christy Lee]

Good to see you.

[Tom Griswold]

Hope to see you again. Hope to see you again. Hope to see you again this next summer. Try to come back over. The girls will want to come as long as there's another great concert to see.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

It's nice seeing you as well.

[Chick McGee]

Well, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks guys. Happy Christmas, as they say.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that was a treat.

[Bob Kevoian]

What a pleasure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's my sister Jan.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're a lovely couple. Yeah. I never met Andrew, only Janny.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Andrew also very well known for playing on the final, the final John Lennon sessions.

[Chick McGee]

Starting.

[Tom Griswold]

Starting, starting over. Yeah, that's him on there. And the great, the great story about that is in the world of session musicians.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys and ladies, you know, a gig is a gig and you'll have, you know, you'll be playing some major thing and then. But the funny story is Andrew and a couple of guys that have been doing these, these sessions with John Lennon. And it's one of those things. The classic story, the phone rings and Andrew answers and a guy goes, hey, this is John Lennon. I was wondering if any. He's okay, who is this? You know, because you're not going to believe John Leonard. But the, they were, were literally playing a bar mitzvah on a Saturday after they'd been with John Lennon all week.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, sure, yeah. Back to the grind.

[Tom Griswold]

And yeah, you know, one of the guys looks up and goes, am I, were we playing with John Lennon? And do you know, hop on a Gila. Okay, let's go. Yeah, that's the nature of, the nature of life as a musician. But Andrew's a stellar drummer and it's cool that he's playing on pants.

[Chick McGee]

Oh man, I'm so honored.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, very flattered. I've seen him play live several times with the, with George Harrison, with Eric Clapton.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, is he American? I didn't detect much.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, his, his mom is Bermudan.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Or Bermudian.

[Chick McGee]

I would love to have Andy's blood pressure. He is just always the coolest guy in the room. It's like, yeah, everything's everything.

[Tom Griswold]

He's one of those guys, if you sat next to him on a plane, he would know everything about you before the plane landed. And he wouldn't mention the fact that he's a world class drummer. Very modest.

[Christy Lee]

And he also is very eclectic, is he not?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And he puts up with A chance.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Congratulations. Jan is very sweet.

[Christy Lee]

If he gets a new shirt, he gets rid of an old shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

He is. Yes. Yeah, he is. Famously. We were actually talking with to drop a name. Carly Simon. And she said is he still the guy that if he has 10 shirts, you get him a new one, he has to throw one away before he puts it in his closet.

[Chick McGee]

That's true.

[Christy Lee]

I love that.

[Chick McGee]

That man.

[Bob Kevoian]

Interesting.

[Chick McGee]

I aspire to that.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you kidding?

[Chick McGee]

Just keep them all. Yeah. Yeah. Well.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're not going to get a new pair of shoes and toss one of your beloved pairs of shoes.

[Chick McGee]

Oh Lord, no, no. I. I do the purge every night.

[Christy Lee]

Finite space a year you have to get rid of stuff. You got to. Finite space.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? Marie Kondo can kiss my.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Leave me alone. Marie.

[Tom Griswold]

Jan's looking good.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, she is great.

[Tom Griswold]

Jan is in. Is a famous fashion model.

[Christy Lee]

Did you just say a real dual.

[Tom Griswold]

I agree.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm just complimenting the lady.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Well, it's hard to tell here. I don't know what kind of rack she had, but.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I didn't get a look at that pooper. But still.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, she's. She's a fashion model. Fashion models aren't known typically for the.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Vulgarly worded the.

[Chick McGee]

The rack or baby got back.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Is that why. Never mind.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. Well.

[Bob Kevoian]

She have hot friends around when you were growing?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Now we know your mom had hot friends. You would crawl around when your mom would have her bridge parties and you'd try to look up her friends dresses.

[Tom Griswold]

Mrs. Auwerter was very hot.

[Chick McGee]

There you go. I knew it.

[Tom Griswold]

Mrs. Mosher.

[Pat Godwin]

Hot.

[Chick McGee]

Pink panties.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's interesting, Jan, because back in the day when I was in college, she was.

[Christy Lee]

Was a fashion model in big time. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

She was in the COVID of Vogue and Cosmo and she had all these incredibly hot. Never once would introduce me to one. She knew better. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know, that actually makes total sense to me if you were a world class fashion model. This is my brother. I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

One time would have been nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure, sure.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

You even had the long hair back then.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Don't have.

[Bob Kevoian]

You could have dated Twiggy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Was she with. Was she with Twiggy?

[Christy Lee]

Let's not bring up Twiggy.

[Tom Griswold]

That's not the right choice.

[Christy Lee]

That is not the right choice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, is there a problem with her?

[Chick McGee]

It's totally possible you and Bowie and Iman would have been flying around.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, let's open gifts.

[Bob Kevoian]

You could have Kissed Grace Jones. Wouldn't that have been something?

[Christy Lee]

Josh and Pat, would you like to open your gifts for me?

[Tom Griswold]

I would.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Love.

[Christy Lee]

They're. I got everybody.

[Tom Griswold]

Same thing.

[Christy Lee]

No, they have the same Twinkie calendar. No, it's not a twam calendar. No.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, let's open these, and then.

[Tom Griswold]

You want my razor knife.

[Bob Kevoian]

And, Christy, well done. No, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Well done.

[Bob Kevoian]

Rapting is.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, can I say what it is, or should I wait for Josh?

[Christy Lee]

Wait for Josh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, these are fantastic.

[Christy Lee]

These?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, it's a mystery tackle box.

[Christy Lee]

Mystery tackle box.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

You don't know what you're gonna get.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

That's surprising.

[Bob Kevoian]

Some doordash. Thank you so much, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

You're welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

Doordash. So there's mystery, like. Like lures, like night crawlers.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I don't know. I didn't know what kind of lures.

[Tom Griswold]

Is any of it alive?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, nightcrawlers.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's see if there's any minnows in here.

[Chick McGee]

Night crawlers go bad after a while.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy. What do we got? Oh, this is great. We got a nice crankbait here. It's a sexy shad color.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look at that.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's called Sexy Shadow. Yes. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's really the name of it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Oh, look at this, Josh. Oh, we got some. Some flipping tubes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you don't have to be.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no, you actually flip like.

[Tom Griswold]

They're not like, friggin.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, some nice creature bait.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, so it is a good thing. I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wonderful. Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Mine are a shady color, too.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Shadish, I want to open your gift.

[Tom Griswold]

Is shad. Is shadow a fish?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah, it's a bait fish. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay. I'm an open mind. Is this from you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's for me. Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

Watch how it's done, folks.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you so much.

[Tom Griswold]

Kristen, raise your knife.

[Bob Kevoian]

You may have just cut the COVID.

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't think. He's fine.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, there's a hole in my shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

He said okay.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. Tom's is different, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, thank you, Christy.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

All right, this is.

[Tom Griswold]

My gosh.

[Chick McGee]

That's adorable.

[Tom Griswold]

That the fool's zip. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's good for sexy time. You can get right at the action.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Does that come in men's?

[Chick McGee]

Very nice.

[Christy Lee]

Hopefully that I love Quint. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This is called the meter. M E A T E R. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

And the first word is.

[Christy Lee]

Peter, we've talked about this on the air.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this a. This is A meat thermometer, I'm assuming.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. That you can control with your phone. So you can put the. The.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's cool.

[Chick McGee]

You put it in the roast, put it in the oven, and then you.

[Christy Lee]

Look at your phone, watch your phone when it's done, it'll tell you exactly right. It's great. Oscar turned me on to that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have new slippers.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you do.

[Tom Griswold]

Raiders. Oh, and that's appropriate. They're slippers. The Raiders are going to be close to the bottom of your body.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that doesn't seem kind.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's true.

[Christy Lee]

Ace also got some door dash money. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Thank you very much, Christy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tom, there's a stocking next to you from me. Why don't you go ahead and open that up if you can. We try to get Tom things he may actually enjoy or use. Christy just nailed it because he's talked about these.

[Tom Griswold]

Just the one condom. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

It's quite a chore to get him.

[Bob Kevoian]

To open, so I thought I would try to get Tom something he talks about liking a lot but doesn't always have around.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, water chestnuts. I love these. Every time I go to a restaurant and I get something, these go. Why don't I have these in salads all the time?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, now you've got about six cans there.

[Tom Griswold]

That is so thoughtful. I will absolutely eat these. Kelly likes these, too.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good.

[Pat Godwin]

Thank you.

[Bob Kevoian]

And they're organic. They're as fancy. I got the fanciest I could find. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and you know what you can do with this?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, fancy water chestnuts.

[Tom Griswold]

And you check. You can use this to dress things up. Just before you say, do you want a little bit of this before I put it away?

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

There may be a little slack.

[Chick McGee]

You can hang it.

[Tom Griswold]

Unless you have. What's it called? Peroni's disease. You may to want. Want to.

[Christy Lee]

And I don't want you to think I left Jess out. She opened. Oh, I opened mine in our office. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I got a really nice olive oil. New oven mitts.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, how about that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you can spend holidays.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't you have oven mitts that were. Look like lobster claws I always coveted?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a big fan of oven mitts.

[Christy Lee]

I need new ones. I don't like mine. Mine are not good. I like the ones that are like gloves. Yes. You know, like.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And some of. They're kind of some rubber thing now.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, those are. Yeah, they have silicone.

[Chick McGee]

They have. Of gloves that you can actually put your hands in fire and everything.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I had and then I.

[Tom Griswold]

The best ones. I like the old fashioned ones. Just you're. They're hard to come by now. I get them on Etsy, on ebay. They're made of asbestos. Yeah, I like to huff with them.

[Chick McGee]

Who are you going to believe, a guy on Etsy or the government? Huh? Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Let'S. What do we have coming up in the news?

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have a Santa Claus fetish. We have some of the New Year's resolutions. Yes. It's that time of year and we never really did finish. Tom. Our unusual Christmas traditions from around the world. Oh, okay, we'll do some of those.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, those are always fun. And I was telling someone yesterday, that really odd one about cooking a.

[Christy Lee]

Peacock.

[Tom Griswold]

Cooking a peacock? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And then re. Putting the feathers on it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was confusing. Yeah. Then you take the feathers out, cook the peacock, present it like a turkey and then put the feathers back in. But by all accounts, it tastes terrible.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, it was just.

[Tom Griswold]

It was just done, I guess you could say performative.

[Chick McGee]

I think peacock is by and large stringy, I would think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Seems stringy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Often stringy.

[Tom Griswold]

You could put. You could put the peacock feathers into a nice turkey.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Why would you do that?

[Tom Griswold]

Because it's a nice flamboyant turkey. Come on, open up. Open up your mind.

[Chick McGee]

You're not going to be happy.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a rainbow.

[Chick McGee]

Well, we're off the air after the moon right now.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to say if you've been. Maybe you've heard of this thing, it's called weight cycling. And doctors talk about this. It's so when you put on 10 pounds and you go on a diet, you take off 12 and you put on 20. You do it for a bunch of years. We've all done it. And over the course of time, they say the average American is put on and taken off about £200. That's pretty staggering. And guess what? Not very good for you. So if you want to do what a bunch of us have been doing around here lately, which is losing weight over time, very slowly, with a little diet and exercise, you can add to that something called lean. Created by doctors. This is not a GLP1 injectable. It is an oral supplement. Check out Lean. It helps maintain healthy blood sugar. Designed by physicians to control your appetite and control cravings. And lean helps burn fat by converting it to energy. Energy and burning fat keeps the weight off. So if you want to lose meaningful weight, like I said, at a healthy pace, add to your diet and exercise program lean.

[Christy Lee]

A barrel. Do they have monkeys in them?

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick McGee. And hello, Tom. How are you?

[Tom Griswold]

We got my mom's famous recipe for rolls back there.

[Christy Lee]

Donuts. A charcuterie board.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I am having.

[Tom Griswold]

Got it all.

[Chick McGee]

I'm having some of that mom's roll right now. It's delicious.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

I should publish that recipe.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, maybe not.

[Tom Griswold]

I do have that somewhere. A couple quick things. I promised monkey information Give us that monkey info. Well, where did this whole thing start? Someone asked if there were, well, gay monkeys.

[Christy Lee]

We're making fun of the monkeys because I do some work at a zoo and we have a chimpanzee exhibit, which. Chimpanzees are not monkeys, but we could go into that later.

[Bob Kevoian]

You mentioned you had a crush on one and you wanted to kiss.

[Christy Lee]

I did not.

[Bob Kevoian]

We were wondering if that was. You wanted to know if it was okay.

[Chick McGee]

You wanted to touch a monkey.

[Christy Lee]

I did not. And they're not their age, but go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

But I think in the animal kingdom.

[Bob Kevoian]

There'S a lot of.

[Tom Griswold]

Of gay activity, if you will.

[Bob Kevoian]

See, I don't think there is.

[Christy Lee]

They say 20%, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Something like that, yeah. But I got this letter from a scientist.

[Chick McGee]

That's what he came up with. To be sensitive.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom. Yes, as a biologist and anthropologist with 2 degrees, I would like to suggest that Fay Ray was a beard for King Kong. Thank you, sir. I certainly appreciate that.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's an interesting theory.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Overtly masculine, that King Kong. What do you think?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, you. You mean too masculine? Hiding something and it.

[Chick McGee]

Climbing up the Empire Space Building symbolism.

[Tom Griswold]

The symbolism is obvious.

[Chick McGee]

Next to the Washington Monument. Was it.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it up then?

[Chick McGee]

Washington. When did that go up? When he went up the.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it Washington Monument? Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Was that up in like 1800? When did that go up?

[Tom Griswold]

King Kong was in New York.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I know.

[Christy Lee]

That's what he said.

[Chick McGee]

Next to the Washington Monument, it's the biggest phallic. So if he had to choose between Empire State Building or Washington Monument, I don't know if it was up then.

[Bob Kevoian]

And what's taller? Is the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building taller?

[Tom Griswold]

The Empire State.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay. All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know the answer to that.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, they're both beautiful in their own way, but the. The. The Chrysler Building can't be beat.

[Bob Kevoian]

I agree.

[Tom Griswold]

So beautiful.

[Chick McGee]

And there's a big. At the top of it.

[Bob Kevoian]

There is, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

It spins around. It's awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

They get that at the restaurant. You're about the time. Right?

[Pat Godwin]

Show.

[Tom Griswold]

And this is not a commercial for these because they're no longer available. But I received my new Bob and Tom sweatshirt and hoodie and white Christmas T shirt in the mail this week.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

When I ordered the hoodie, I also ordered one for myself and my wife, thinking we could wear them around the house on Christmas Eve while enjoying family time. This is from Tim and Gina. When my order came, I noticed there was a similar package on the porch. Look just like the one that I'd ordered. You guessed it. My wife ordered me a Bob and Tom hoodie and a white Christmas shirt. We now have two hoodies and two white Christmas shirts. We are set.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, thank goodness.

[Tom Griswold]

And we just got a visit from my sister Jan. And her daughter Daisy designed that. She did. That was very nice. Well, thank you. This is I. The last one of these will do. But in the spirit of this year, I write this letter. Sorry to bother you at work.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Merry Christmas. Happy holidays to all of you.

[Bob Kevoian]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

My favorite part of the year was when Josh shouted, I quit. It is now my ringtone. Everyone at work enjoys it. Well, thank you, Dan. Dan writes from New Jersey.

[Chick McGee]

And speaking of memories from the past year. That's right. It's time for another babatom memory from 2025. Let's enjoy this together. Shall.

[Bob Kevoian]

Monkeys and. Oh, what? Yodelers.

[Christy Lee]

What is that?

[Bob Kevoian]

What's with the monkeys?

[Chick McGee]

That was monkey yodeling.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

From this year's Bob and Tom broadcast. Oh, and here's just real quick for that letter writer.

[Bob Kevoian]

I quit.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there you go.

[Bob Kevoian]

I wonder what.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. Seemed since.

[Christy Lee]

Don't say it more.

[Tom Griswold]

It's funny that you'd bring up yo. Yodeling.

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

Because this just came across. I'm not kidding. This was in the news two days ago. Did you see this? About the yodeling in the valley? Not yodeling in the valley. Once again, we go down vulgar road with Josh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, I know it grosses you out.

[Chick McGee]

But you should spend some more time there. You'd be surprised what would be accomplished.

[Tom Griswold]

UNESCO, okay. Has officially included Switzerland's long celebrated tradition of yodeling in its list of quote, intangible cultural heritages.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I didn't see the story.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's. Does that mean anything to anyone?

[Christy Lee]

That's why I didn't bring it up.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't do it either. It's so dumb.

[Chick McGee]

It's very, very tangible.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

How is it. How is it intangible?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, you can't. It's not something you can hold and grab on.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, but.

[Bob Kevoian]

But they're being silly. It doesn't.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Officials in Switzerland had sought United nations recognition.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, boy.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's time we recognize the yodelas of Switzerland.

[Chick McGee]

Later, Mr. Spiker.

[Bob Kevoian]

I know that's not the United nations, but I just. I wanted to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's. We should say something that. I think it's okay. To be ashamed of your cultural heritage. There's not enough of that.

[Bob Kevoian]

But yodeling. Would you be ashamed of yodelers?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I think it's fun if you're in the mall.

[Chick McGee]

I think everyone has a guy with that.

[Tom Griswold]

With that get up on yodeling. What are you going to give him? 30 seconds before you move on to go to the Gap to get up here of jeans?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll give him a smile nod.

[Bob Kevoian]

I would expect it. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Put money in his bucket, I give him a fiver.

[Tom Griswold]

What is this? I didn't read the UNESCO. What's it called? The. Sorry. I'm reading this for the first time. The cookies. Intangible. It's considered an intangible Cultural.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's Nabisco.

[Chick McGee]

No, UNESCO makes fudge sticks, don't they?

[Christy Lee]

UNESCO? Don't they make those little discs? Remember those little candy.

[Tom Griswold]

I got a question for you. Yodeling. They're not saying it anything, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Those aren't words.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not like an auctioneer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right?

[Chick McGee]

Sometimes auctioneers don't use words either.

[Tom Griswold]

So can I say this? Should we spearhead a movement to have scatting recognized by the United nations as part of the American cultural heritage?

[Christy Lee]

Tangible.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it American?

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, pretty? Jazz blue. Oh, sure. I bet it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Wasn't that invented by Ella Fitzgerald? Gerald.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know who.

[Tom Griswold]

Wasn't she the first one to go?

[Bob Kevoian]

She certainly helped.

[Chick McGee]

Blind Lemon. Whatever. Right?

[Tom Griswold]

But the world. Then of course, I will die on this hill. The worst scatting in history is Frank Sinatra. Doobie Doobie Doo.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's not what he sounds like.

[Tom Griswold]

That is not scary.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it's way more relaxed and natural. When it's not natural, you're doing pissed off.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Even better now. You're just doing this because you're so modest. Because Josh is the king of the scat.

[Bob Kevoian]

No. Well, I. I've got my own thing. Yeah, I like it.

[Christy Lee]

I call it wizard scatting. You look like a wizard.

[Tom Griswold]

Just give us a quick sample.

[Bob Kevoian]

What Christmas carol would you like to hear?

[Tom Griswold]

The Twelve Days of Christmas.

[Pat Godwin]

Zipper Fleurs.

[Chick McGee]

Bargle Snimby.

[Bob Kevoian]

A horrible flitzel gun.

Hey, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

Now there's Pat Godwin.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hello, hello.

[Chick McGee]

Hey. Now there's Jess Hooker. Hello, hello. There's Josh Arnold.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

I am Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. We have a special super secret.

[Tom Griswold]

We go to this big screen again with another surprise guest.

[Bob Kevoian]

My goodness.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

It's Peter Francis. Pedro. Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's my. One of my favorite human beings.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

How are you all? Good, Peter. How are you?

[Pat Godwin]

Good, good. Just fed the dog and all's good, you know. So we're up early now these days. So gone is the rock and roll lifestyle, you know, it's just me and the dog. And he obviously is, what, the only dog that doesn't like eating. So it's. It can take up to three to four hours to feed him.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my.

[Tom Griswold]

I can see him right behind you on the couch.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is Bigsby. Is Bixby allowed in the couch?

[Pat Godwin]

Couch, yes. Well, that's his couch.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, yeah. Okay. Right.

[Pat Godwin]

They're all his couches.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I have the exact same thing.

[Pat Godwin]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

He.

[Chick McGee]

He definitely does look non plus.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I was just gonna use the word non plus. He does not care about being on a national radio program.

[Pat Godwin]

No, no, it's. He's been there, done that.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. I see. Which guitar is right behind you, Peter Frampton.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, you know which one it is. The one that I play all the time. It's the.

[Bob Kevoian]

Phoenix.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my gosh. I got Christie.

[Chick McGee]

Peter, I got Christie A miniature version of the Phoenix from the Rock and Roll hall of Fame for Christmas.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, that's great. Yeah, I have one of them up there, too. And then I have an Eric Clapton one up there.

[Tom Griswold]

They're sweet gift.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Very cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that. Well, that, of course, you were just flipping over to show us. That has the, I assume, burn marks from from the. The famous story of that was in a plane crash and recovered many years later.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, yes. And it's. When I first got it back, it was 32 years later. And when I first got it back, I was nervous about playing it. And the very first show that I did with it was the Beacon in New York. And this was on the. Round about 2012, I think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Think.

[Pat Godwin]

And. And so everyone knew that it was coming back. You know, it was. That the news story was out there. So just before we do. Do you feel at the end of the act, that's when the lights went down and my tech put out a guitar stand and put it on the stand. And then all the super trooper spotlights hit the guitar and there's. The audience went crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

They.

[Pat Godwin]

It was like. They, you know, it was more famous than I was that moment. So.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's a. It's a great story. Well, Peter, I saw you live not too long ago. Great show. I had an opportunity to talk to your band and I said to a couple of guys, this has to be pretty intimidating. You're. You're playing with. With Peter Frampton. And then Peter said to me, oh, no, it's much more intimidating for me to play with these guys. They're that good.

[Pat Godwin]

They are that good, you know. Yeah. I am blessed with incredible players and incredible crew. If it weren't for the crew and the band especially, you know, now where it's. It's getting a little bit more difficult for me. Oh, Bigsby just turned over and the world listens. No, no. So, yeah, I. If it weren't for them in this time, they are. It's one big supportive family. You've been backstage and, and seen the vibe. So it's just I. Every time I. I announce I'm going to do a tour to the crew and the band, everyone comes back and it's. That's. It's not like I'm doing a major tour. So I really appreciate them dropping what they're doing and coming and working with me. So it's the Frampton Road road road crew family, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you going to be going out at all in 2026? Do you know yet?

[Pat Godwin]

We don't know yet. I might do something in July, only. It is the 50th anniversary of. Of Frampton Comes Alive. This in January 6th, I think. And why? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, I remember that one. That was a good one, wasn't it?

[Pat Godwin]

So there's a new version coming out. It's. It's not me on it. It's just the audience.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the new version? What's the difference?

[Pat Godwin]

I. I have no idea. The record company are doing something special. It's a surprise. And for me, they haven't showed me yet. So hopefully it's something that I will like.

[Bob Kevoian]

Great.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember. I remember you were in here many years ago, and they had just released another iteration, if you will, of Frampton Comes Alive. And you jokingly said, hey, look, I've got a kid in college, so.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, very cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that'll be great.

[Pat Godwin]

That's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Certainly one of the classics. We're speaking, of course, with Mr. Peter Frampton. Who is I. Someone asked me who's the nicest guy you've ever met in the studio? And I said, well, let's see. I'd say it's Mr. Peter Frampton Hampton, tremendous artist, and we certainly hope if you're playing somewhere, I'm going to fly there and see you again.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay. Well, I. I'm not sure we. We might do a. Just a restricted amount, a few. A handful of dates in the middle of the summer. It's getting a little bit more difficult for me to get out there and so. But I still love it so much that I'm sure there'll be something this year.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, good.

[Pat Godwin]

Coming.

[Tom Griswold]

Good. Have you read Cameron Crow's book?

[Pat Godwin]

Not yet, no. I was waiting for him to send me a signed copy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I would be lying if I said I read it. I listened to it and it's great. Get the audiobook and it's wonderful. But you're mentioned in that. And I'm trying to remember in the movie Almost Famous, aren't you playing poker or something? What?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, he. As a joke, I. I was really brought in by Cameron to teach Billy Crudup how to look like he was playing. He was Jimmy Page, you know, so. And playing as the. The. The legendary lead guitarist of Stillwater. And so that struck up a great friendship with Billy and. But it was basically as far as my. Or I was the authenticity person as well. Like, that mic was not invented until after 70. Whatever, you know. And so I help. I help them out. What is it, baby? What is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Bixby's on a run.

[Christy Lee]

Amazon's here.

[Tom Griswold]

Cameron just sent you the book.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dog Treat.

[Chick McGee]

Dog Treats. Dog Treats, Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I think the book just arrived. But anyway, so Cameron said, do you want to. There's a little part. Would you like to be in this? So, of course, I looked through the script and I chose the lead character. He said, no, that's already. And Then he said, how about Reg? I said, what page is that? He said, it's on the half page. No, no, it was. No, it, it. I played Reg, Humble Pies road manager, which was kind of an inside joke, you know, so. And I play. I played. I played poker with Billy and. Oh, what's. And the comedian guy that unfortunately. Baron.

[Chick McGee]

Mark Baron.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, he was. He was a show promoter.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, we've got problems.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there's somebody outside.

[Tom Griswold]

Is he growling?

[Pat Godwin]

I tell you who it is. I'll tell you who it is. Big, big, bigs, big speed.

[Tom Griswold]

The dog is walking over to Mr. Frampton. Oh, he's a good boy.

[Pat Godwin]

I get on the couch. On the couch. On.

[Tom Griswold]

Is he technically a doodle?

[Pat Godwin]

He's a doodle. He's a rescue. No, rescue. He's a service dog. Trained. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, who's the disturbance? I might tell you is every week on a Friday, we do have a lady from Doo Doo Blues comes here and actually removes the. The very important fecal matter of Bixby.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I. I have one of those guys too. Peter comes every week. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hers is named Mr. Mr. Biscuit.

[Christy Lee]

Mr. Biscuit. That's right.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, she leaves a biscuit.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

So Jenny does. But this they're saying is their advertise saying is Doo Doo Blues. We're number one and number two.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, we're speaking with Peter Frampton. I don't know if you saw this yesterday, Peter, that Keith Richard kind of canceled.

[Chick McGee]

They were.

[Tom Griswold]

The Stones were going to go out and do a bunch of dates in Europe and the uk But Keith's having. Having some. Having some issues. So they've decided not to go this year, but they may go next year. Year. If you don't mind my asking, you're looking great. When I saw you playing, you were playing great. You were singing great. How are you doing? Are you feeling okay? I know you've got a pretty serious thing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. The muscle thing is the IBM, obviously, is. Is always moving on very slowly, but so far so good. And I'm. I'm. I'm doing really good. I think music keeps you young. You know, know, creating and, and going on tour and having people enjoy what I do and it's just. I think it just keeps you young, you know, if you keep pushing, keep doing, and don't ever sit down and say, I'm not getting up. That's it. No, I gotta go and do more, you know. So it's just keeping going.

[Tom Griswold]

Peter, a great pleasure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I saw you in Clearwater I didn't bother you backstage at that show because I've. I bugged you enough. But I wanted to say thank you for that Tom Petty tribute that you did. It was just so lovely. It was very, very heartfelt and, and it really touched a lot of us and thank you for doing that. That was sweet.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, thank you. Yeah, it's. I. I've gotten finished a new album, the first one in 14 years with. With or 15 years with new material. And I started writing with my son Julian Frampton and we ended up co producing together and writing with Chuck Ainley, the incredible engineer, producer and in town here in Nashville. So I got to spend a lot of time with my son, which was amazing. And I've been. I discovered on. On another channel. Channel I. I discovered Tom Petty's Buried Treasure channel.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Pat Godwin]

And it's not the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers play all their music. It's just Tom Petty. And he did it once a week for eight years before we lost him. And now they play it 247 and it's channel 711 on the other station.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

And. And basically so Julian called me up and I was. We were all listening to the station, if we weren't in the music room writing. We were listening to Tom Petty's. He. It's all his albums. He was the dj. He would like bring all his old albums, you know, Big Mama Thornton instead of Elvis. You know, all the original, original versions. Blues, jazz, pop, pop, R B. He just crossed the line of every type of music. Totally. So I just said, Julian called up and I said, you know what? I'm getting very inspired by Tom's thesis on great music, which is what it is. It's what made Tom Petty, Tom Petty all this wonderful insight. And so I said we should do a tribute to Tom Petty in the Heartbreak. And so the next day Julian called me up and he said, check your email. And there were the lyrics to Bury Treasure. So I had to write. I had a chorus musically. And then we got together and we finished the thing off and we started doing it live. And it's pretty incredible because every time we play it, either all or most of the people stand up and there's. So they do like it a lot. So it was very heartening to see that and, and experience that. So guess what? That'll probably be the first track we release probably in March.

[Christy Lee]

Great.

[Pat Godwin]

Before the album comes out on April 10th. And it's. The album's called called Carry the Light.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, cool. Well, Peter, be sure to send us A copy. Don't delay.

[Pat Godwin]

You'll buy one like everybody.

[Chick McGee]

Darn right, Peter.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, see, he's backing me up.

[Tom Griswold]

Peter Frampton also does a incredible. Your incredible Black hole son that you do live. Yeah. That is just awesome. And there's also really a great tribute to Steve Marriott. And every time, in fact, the first time I ever met Peter Frampton, the first thing I said to him was, we go home on Monday. You actually feature that for you Humble Pie fans in your live show. Can't wait to see you again. Peter.

[Christy Lee]

Merry Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Glad you're doing well.

[Chick McGee]

Happy Christmas.

[Christy Lee]

Merry Christmas.

[Pat Godwin]

Merry Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, sir. Thank you so much for your time.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, you're welcome. Bye bye, everybody.

[Bob Kevoian]

Peter.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. That was a great surprise.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

His album came out January 76. I graduated in June. And I. I thought it was not going to get any better ever than that album. Just.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder what they're. I wonder alternate concerts or something. Because it was recorded primarily in San Francisco.

[Chick McGee]

Well, they haven't really put any like B sides or remakes or.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I know that a couple of the tracks were done in Detroit. Detroit, Right.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

So maybe they're gonna. Who knows? Maybe they're gonna have it. But it's a great. For those of a certain age. That was the album.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, sir. And also that Black Hole sun cover he does is just incredible.

[Christy Lee]

I can't wait to hear this time. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great. Talking to Peter Frampton. We're going to be talking to each other.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we are.

[Tom Griswold]

When we come back, we have some.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, nobody wants to hear that.

[Tom Griswold]

That was. I was sure met. I'm sorry. What is that, Josh?

[Bob Kevoian]

I quit. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Very good.

[Chick McGee]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Right now. Tis the season. A lot of stress out there right now, of course, with the holidays and perhaps this is a good time to start a new tradition by de stressing yourself a little bit by talking to a therapist. And that's where BetterHelp comes in. BetterHelp is about linking you with a proper licensed therapist. They've been working with more than 30,000 therapists and they have a questionnaire that'll help them guide you to a therapist that perhaps will be good for you. And you can switch therapists anytime, by the way. No additional fees are involved. What's interesting about this is the therapy is done online. I've been talking about this for a while, but it's done much the way we just talked to Peter. It's often done with just a zoom call, or you can do it with just a phone call. You don't have to necessarily be watching or be watched. If that's on your mind, you could even do it texting back and forth. It's about whatever works for you. If you've been thinking about therapy, and I just saw a survey this morning that 30% of Americans are interested in their mental health and perhaps polishing it up a little bit, well, that's where better help comes in. This December, start a new tradition by taking care of you. And there's a way to get information. It's pretty simple. You just take your phone and you hit that pound sign and then 250-£250. Say the keyword BT Show. You'll get hooked up with some information. The keyword is BT show. And once again, it's £250. Or go to betterhelp.com Tell them the Bob and Tom show sent you. When we come back, it'll be time to open some gifts. I've got one especially. I think it'll be especially pleasing for Josh. I got one for all of you. But you'll see, I'm very excited about it. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

U.S. soccer Reality says the odds are stacked against us.

[Bob Kevoian]

To think our U.S. men's National Team can ever reach, raised the world's biggest.

[Chick McGee]

Trophy, be the first soccer team to beat them at football.

[Bob Kevoian]

Never. But here's the thing about us.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a force.

[Chick McGee]

It's fuel.

[Bob Kevoian]

Because if you want to be great and make history, never chase reality.

[Chick McGee]

Join us soccer insiders today.

[Bob Kevoian]

Be part of the journey.

Okay. But I want Josh to open it. All right. It's very, very important.

[Bob Kevoian]

Opening it here nicely. I had actually made fun of the fact.

[Tom Griswold]

Here we go.

[Bob Kevoian]

You would give us yo yos with your face on them.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's. I. I have. I have the audio. Here we go. Give this. Give this a listen, please.

We talked that guy twice this year. I'll send him some ova space. People I work with every day.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Here's a yo yo with my face.

[Pat Godwin]

All right. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's genius. Genius, because I had mentioned that I was going to be I.

[Bob Kevoian]

And by the way, these are Duncan.

[Tom Griswold]

They're nice yo yos.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're kind of the butterfly style.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So thanks for the inspiration.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, you're welcome. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

I like to send. I like to send Omaha steak gift packs to the various comedians.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That have called us over the years. I suppose I could send one to Peter Frampton. I don't. Is Peter Frampton a meat eater? I'm not sure.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't think.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I know his dog would love.

[Bob Kevoian]

Love it.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, can we pull the rest of the stuff out of here?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now it's. What is that, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

So I think.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know which I like better, the candle or the matches.

[Tom Griswold]

You see, you can take it home and play them both.

[Christy Lee]

Smells good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Terrific. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. That's me in the cowboy hat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It smells like a. Almost too clean whorehouse house.

[Christy Lee]

Bayside cedar.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, there's something about it.

[Christy Lee]

Did you pick out the scent?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's. That should be. Those are decent candles.

[Christy Lee]

They're Bayside Center, Very good. Cedar. Yankee candle. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They're the workhorse of the industry.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, Tommy.

[Tom Griswold]

I hope they smell good. They do okay. Thank you.

[Bob Kevoian]

They do.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, you promised Christy to do a couple more Christmas tradition stories. Is that what's happening here?

[Christy Lee]

We can do that.

[Tom Griswold]

What are. You're the boss. Whatever you want to do.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, let's get these other presents. Josh. So, yeah, Pat, Chick, Christy, you all have the same thing. There so if one of you wants to open it. Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

The big box.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there's a big box back there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Whether or not you guys open yours.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, anybody can open it because he, he likes it.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I wrapped them myself. You can tell by.

[Tom Griswold]

I may have to.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it looks like gravy wrapped it. Warmer. Nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, you can set those in your bathroom there and warm up your towel for you.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's very fancy.

[Christy Lee]

Very nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have one for you too, Tommy.

[Tom Griswold]

From the man who. The man who has the bidet. Now you get a. You can have a nice warm towel. Caress your buttocks.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

As you know, during illegal entanglement. I had a towel warmer at one of the houses and I, I, I missed that. Towel warmer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Now you got it back. You didn't even get half of it.

[Christy Lee]

It's hard to break up a towel warmer.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Cry about it.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Bob Kevoian]

You're very welcome. You guys deserve nice, warm towel.

[Christy Lee]

All right. Some 11. Well, not 11, because we did already a couple of them. Unusual Christmas traditions from around the world. You ready? In Caracas, people traditionally roller skate through the streets on Christmas Eve to attend early morning church. Church services.

[Bob Kevoian]

They go to church in their roller skates?

[Tom Griswold]

Yep.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Apparently, talk about Holy Rollers.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I think that's the joke.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Leave it right there. That's the one. Why even go with any more of them?

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry, I didn't hear. Did Holy roller get a laugh?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, no, it just got. I think that's the joke.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like that joke.

[Chick McGee]

It got what it deserved.

[Tom Griswold]

Do people leave them on for the service?

[Christy Lee]

Well, I would hope not, but you never know.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be a little awkward.

[Christy Lee]

It would speed up Communion. Thank goodness.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. And just crashed into the bucket of Eucharist.

[Christy Lee]

On December 7, Guatemalans burn effigies of the devil and light bonfires to cleanse evil spirits and mark the start of the Christmas season.

[Bob Kevoian]

Where does that happen?

[Christy Lee]

In Guatemala.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Sounds about right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Ukrainians, does the devil have a birthday?

[Bob Kevoian]

Lucifer's date of birth. Oh, boy. I don't know when it is.

[Chick McGee]

October 6, 1966. Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

If you're a Satanist, email us. Let us know.

[Tom Griswold]

Fair question.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let us know about your Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

You got Jesus on. And isn't there a movement? Aren't they saying that the December 25th really isn't the correct date?

[Christy Lee]

Well, we've always said. Yeah, it's more like March if you, if you do the timing and if you're okay. If you saw when.

[Tom Griswold]

So technically we could celebrate again when we find out what it is.

[Christy Lee]

Can we just.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry.

[Chick McGee]

I think one Christmas a year is plenty.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Ukrainian Christmas trees are decorated with spider ornaments. And Webster Weird based on folk tale symbolizing good luck and prosperity.

[Chick McGee]

Tom. Not just any web. Jack Webb.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah, Jack Webb.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you make fun of me for holy roller.

[Chick McGee]

From 2025? That's right. It's another Bob and Jack Webb tribute Broadcast cast memory from 2025. Here it is right now.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why you're alone.

[Chick McGee]

That's 2020. He's laughing so hard.

[Tom Griswold]

No context given.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. Thank you, buddy.

[Tom Griswold]

While you're alone.

[Chick McGee]

Merry Christmas. Appreciate it.

[Christy Lee]

In Iceland, Icelandic folklore warns that a giant cat. Cat will eat anyone who doesn't receive new clothes before Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

My gosh, man, you gotta take that seriously.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right?

[Christy Lee]

In Icelandic rural societies, employers often rewarded members of their households with new clothes and sheepskin shoes to encourage hard work. In the lead up to Christmas, you don't get eaten by the yule cat.

[Bob Kevoian]

By a giant cat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

In. In Iceland eats you.

[Tom Griswold]

That's two. I. I like Holy Rollers. A solid.

[Bob Kevoian]

The Icelandic Yakov spear.

[Christy Lee]

In Greenland. Not to be outdone, traditional Christmas meals include foods like whale blubber and fermented seabirds.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yummy.

[Christy Lee]

With specific serving customs. Apparently men serve the women at Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

I check. More albatross.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I've had enough.

[Tom Griswold]

I would imagine seabirds are pretty fermented. Sinewy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they've got to be.

[Christy Lee]

And salty.

[Chick McGee]

I need a slice of penguin. Can I have a more. I need some more penguin.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have the Swedish one? This may be a different.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, because I didn't. I didn't do it on purpose because I can't pronounce it. Every Christmas Eve at 3pm Many Swedish families tune in to watch a classic Donald Duck TV special. From all of us to all of you.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Christy Lee]

It's known in Swedish as Kalanka okan's von er unskar gadjul.

[Tom Griswold]

It's good. You got it. You nailed it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. That translates to Donald Duck and his friends wish you a merry Christmas.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, then. It's on national television.

[Christy Lee]

Then. It's a Christmas Eve tradition.

[Tom Griswold]

At three o'. Clock. Three o'. Clock.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who can do a nice Donald Duck impression?

[Chick McGee]

I cannot. Never been able.

[Pat Godwin]

I can do him sneezing.

[Tom Griswold]

That's it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, please. Oh, that's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Pretty damn good.

[Chick McGee]

That's all I can do. Though that's all I can do though.

[Bob Kevoian]

You've had to ace up your sleeve this whole time.

[Tom Griswold]

You've never done that.

[Christy Lee]

That before.

[Tom Griswold]

I never done that before.

[Christy Lee]

You have never thrown that at us.

[Chick McGee]

It's only just a. A little bit of training and you could. You could make words. I'm.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've got. Here. Here's some pepper under your bill there.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

I think jazz is gonna lose her mind.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

We all these. We all have these tricks.

[Tom Griswold]

My childhood.

[Pat Godwin]

I hear.

[Tom Griswold]

I hear you're allergic to the guitars. Don't get too close to that guitar.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, be careful, Donald.

[Bob Kevoian]

The next time you have a live show, I really want you to like, play it up like. Oh, I. I am. I'm really gonna sneeze here. Just a second. You know what I mean?

[Tom Griswold]

I never mention it. Just move on.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now some people say I sneeze like Donald Duck. I don't hear it.

[Christy Lee]

Coming up. We're going to continue with these traditions because we have one from Italy that's just horrifying.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember the one from Japan? Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Kfc. KFC is a good thing.

[Tom Griswold]

KFC on Christmas Eve. It was started by an ad campaign in the 70s that took off and remember the Santa Claus as we know him? That started with a campaign by Coca Cola. Right? Yeah. 100 years ago or something. So it's all fun. We'll have more fun when we return. I do want to remind you, as the clock is ticking, there is still time to check out our buddy Steven Singer at Steven Singer Jewelers. We think he may have hit his head because those Anita diamond stud earrings still start at just 298 bucks. Same perfect price as last year. Each pair. As Christy likes to say, I flawless. Yeah, I chick. I Tom. I flawless. Hey, thanks.

[Chick McGee]

Flawless. Never forget what Christie said, y'. All.

[Tom Griswold]

I hate stephensinger.com. of course, Stephen's full value lifetime trade in. So if you got a pair last year, you want to make them bigger, you can do that. Also, Stephen famous for free shipping. Like I said, get those orders in today, try to do it before 2:00 clock Eastern Time and chances are they'll be out the door today. That's how it works with Stephen Singer. And you can order right now. Fast and free shipping. Still in time for Christmas. This is a no brainer. But you got to do it today. Experience the difference at Stephen Singer Jewelers. Once again. I hate stevensinger dot com. That's I hate stevensinger dotcom. Coming up, more Christmasy stuff. A gift or two and more. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

We have another. We have another memory from 2025. We do?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good.

[Chick McGee]

Here we go. Is everybody ready? All righty.

[Tom Griswold]

The old pie that was this week.

[Chick McGee]

This has been a memory from the Lava Tom show from 2025.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe we could get one from five minutes ago where Josh talked about what happens in Iceland. Quite a memory.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's not that much different than the old.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

We're gonna wrap things up here with our unusual Christmas traditions elsewhere. This is in Italy.

[Chick McGee]

You said unusual.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, unusual. La bafata is a witch who delivers gifts to children on the night before epiphany. She rewards good behavior with sweets and punishing the naughty with coal.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, La Bufunu.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

That's a whole different gift. That's a whole different punishment.

[Christy Lee]

According to legend, she swoops up the particularly bad children and brings them home to her child eating husband. Oh, yeah, that's scary.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's gonna terrify.

[Chick McGee]

Terrified.

[Tom Griswold]

It's awful.

[Bob Kevoian]

You'll behave, though.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you will.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Well, you don't want to get on the naughty list in Italy, apparently.

[Christy Lee]

No. Speaking of naughty, did you know that there's a term called a Santa file out there?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Sexual refers to individuals who have a Santa fetish. Dr. Justin Leh Miller, the senior research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, friends of ours told the New York Post there are many reasons someone might become a Santa Fe. He said some people might be turned on by this because, quote, they find Santa to be a character who lends himself well to BDSM role play.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about that?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Take off this big black belt.

[Christy Lee]

And he said, santa Felia has Not been statistically quantified. So the true prevalence of the festive fetish is not known.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're going to pick a fetish, at least that would. And you've, you know, don't have to spend the whole year, I suppose.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but you can only get off once a year. Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just like Christmas. You only come once a year.

[Christy Lee]

Have you ever had a girl dress up in a Santa costume for you guys? No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean on a 1. On one personal basis?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, like in the short Santa I. One of those. You do? Yeah, I wore it to one of our.

[Tom Griswold]

I think she means is kind of a late night gift.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Oh, no, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, would the elf. Hell of a gift with the elf thing count that you did last year?

[Bob Kevoian]

The elf thing did not count. I tried.

[Tom Griswold]

And are you just not convincing as an elf?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I'm not. I'm not. I'm. Well, apparently there's a part of me that is. That was.

[Christy Lee]

That's too bad, buddy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very. What do they say? Slight of ween.

[Christy Lee]

Stop. We all know you're a grower, not.

[Chick McGee]

A bitty, teeny, tiny pornhub.

[Christy Lee]

D data may provide some insight though. As the adult site notes, searches for the word Santa have risen over 200 in the past 30 days.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't it make anybody sad? Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, why does it make you sad? Oh, God.

[Christy Lee]

One such Santa file, a 25 year old content creator Cassidy Kosa told the Post that she first fell for Kris Kringle while watching Tim Allen in the Santa Claus movies. She said, quote, the gray hair, the pudding judge. The in charge attitude is literally irresistible.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bodes well for me.

[Chick McGee]

The in charge attitude. Yeah, you can fake that.

[Tom Griswold]

To me. Santa file sounds like someone who shouldn't be around kids under any circumstances.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Very unpleasant. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, I have a gift from Ace. Should I open this on the air, Ace or no? Yeah, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a mini blue Bluetooth printer for your phone.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy is digging into a box.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

What is it?

[Christy Lee]

Printer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, you can take photos and.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow, that's cool.

[Christy Lee]

And make labels out of them.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, thank you, Ace. That is awesome.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you very much, Ace.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool. Very good, very good.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have one in my Amazon, like basket, but I keep putting it like I don't need it yet.

[Christy Lee]

I don't. Yeah. Yeah, that's cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

Take it to St. Luke with you. Yes, thank you.

[Christy Lee]

Make labels of your kids.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Now, when you bring them back, you should show us all the pictures. All your nieces and I Have a.

[Bob Kevoian]

Slideshow that I'll be.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that'd be great.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I think we have time to squeeze in some New Year's resolutions.

[Bob Kevoian]

What's yours, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, first I want. I. We have the research on what the. You can guess what most people are doing.

[Chick McGee]

Lose weight, stop drinking, work out more.

[Christy Lee]

Stop stealing, putting more money into savings.

[Chick McGee]

What'd I say?

[Bob Kevoian]

No more murders.

[Chick McGee]

Tell the authorities.

[Christy Lee]

Exercise, eating healthier, spending more time outdoors. Yeah. These are the common ones.

[Tom Griswold]

The interesting thing I thought about this. This is a pretty big survey.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It says Gen Z, millennials and Gen X are saying not having enough money is the biggest barrier to accomplishing their goals.

[Christy Lee]

Work more.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Baby boomers. To say say no. No, it's not that. It's no willpower. So that's kind of interesting.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Just 10% of respondents said they felt good about 20, 25. As a whole. 40% said it was just okay.

[Chick McGee]

No, I think it was a great hole.

[Christy Lee]

20% felt the past year was bad. 10% said it was awful.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no. Well, I hope things get better for those folks.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's just, I think too much negativity in the news and awfulness in general. 2026. We're going to make an effort here to only do good news.

[Bob Kevoian]

What do you.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

That's a lie.

[Bob Kevoian]

Come on.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I was gonna say, what are.

[Bob Kevoian]

We going down to an hour at morning.

[Chick McGee]

Half hour.

[Christy Lee]

This is good news for Jelly Roll. Did you hear about this?

[Tom Griswold]

This is cool.

[Christy Lee]

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has pardoned Jelly Roll for his criminal past. The rapper turned singer, whose legal name is Jason Deforestation, has spoken for years about his redemption arc after his teens and early 20s were marred by multiple convictions, including robbery and drug felonies. Mr. Lee, governor issued the pardon after friends and civic leaders of the Grammy nominated musician joined in an outpouring of support.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that's nice. I mean, that guy does seem to be a genuinely good dude.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's a great singer.

[Christy Lee]

The pardon now offers him the path to restoring certain civil rights, like the right to vote.

[Tom Griswold]

Vote.

[Christy Lee]

So good for him.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who doesn't have the right to vote?

[Chick McGee]

Jelly Roll.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah. Gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

And I was reading about him. He apparently has lost £300.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's amazing. His name.

[Bob Kevoian]

From Jelly Roll to protein bar.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, fast.

[Chick McGee]

I liked everything about it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did too.

[Chick McGee]

But especially the delivery. Protein Bop.

[Tom Griswold]

He's gonna do tour with a comedian. Become carrot stick. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Learn the language, babe.

[Tom Griswold]

But he's a great singer. Yes, he is that. I was very much put off by the facial tattoos.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure you were.

[Tom Griswold]

I was. It's hard for me to get beyond.

[Christy Lee]

That, but on the radio, you don't see him.

[Chick McGee]

I know he's gonna.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's got that big smile and he's just.

[Chick McGee]

And he. You have listened to his music?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, he was a fatty.

[Chick McGee]

Fat, fat, fat.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he was over 500.

[Chick McGee]

That's a lot of meat.

[Tom Griswold]

And I believe. I think he's down to about £200.

[Chick McGee]

Boy.

[Bob Kevoian]

How would you like to just to go, you know what? One day I just want to be fat, not fat. What's your goal weight? Just fat.

[Tom Griswold]

And you have played that.

[Chick McGee]

You have listened to some of his music?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, sure.

[Chick McGee]

Like, despite the facial tattoos, which I'm.

[Tom Griswold]

Very proud of you, the one I like the most is it's going to be all right. I'm not okay, but it's going to be all right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Good sentiment. That is good. Great song, Melody. But God, he. I mean, he. He does a bunch of guest vocals for people. He's amazing. But yeah, I. And I didn't know much about him, but started listening to his music and I really am glad.

[Christy Lee]

Open mind there, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

But I guess the big thing is a fitness goal. Goals. I was reading this.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So I have some fitness goals.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. What's that? What it was.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I'm gonna fit this wiener and your sister.

[Christy Lee]

That's how we're gonna.

[Pat Godwin]

Like that.

[Chick McGee]

We can't end like.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's the perfect ending.
