Hi.

[Bob]

Good morning. Welcome. It's the Bob and Tom Show. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays, whatever it is that you and yours celebrate. Yes, let us be a tiny, itty bitty part of it. How about that, huh? Christy Lee at the SILAC news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Mary Crimble.

[Bob]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

What is that? Some exotic.

[Pat Godwin]

The Beatle said Mary Crimble on all their Christmas records.

[Bob]

Is that right? Merry Crimble.

[Chick McGee]

What does that mean? They just made up.

[Pat Godwin]

John made it up.

[Christy Lee]

Tom Wacky John.

[Bob]

The Beatles did it. That makes it so.

[Chick McGee]

I. I didn't. I don't recall.

[Bob]

Hello, Josh. Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, Chick.

[Bob]

He's over there at the I hate Stephen Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think. I don't think that one took.

[Bob]

I'm Chick.

[Chick McGee]

I've never heard it until now.

[Bob]

Hello, Tom. Ever feel invisible?

[Chick McGee]

The Beatles fan. That's good to see you, Jim.

[Bob]

Hi, buddy. How are you?

[Chick McGee]

Good.

[Bob]

How's things over there?

[Chick McGee]

Great.

[Bob]

I see you got your. Your holiday starbuck over there. Your little. Little eggnog. What are you having?

[Chick McGee]

This was coffee. They call this.

[Bob]

Oh, coffee.

[Chick McGee]

You're not on the coffee trainer.

[Bob]

I. I am not very rare. Not very often, sometimes.

[Chick McGee]

I'm gonna go. I'll get some hot tea here next. But getting ready for the holiday. Of course. And big weekend. This is the last shopping Weekend. So get ready. It's gonna be.

[Ace Cosby]

It's gonna be hell out there.

[Chick McGee]

We have an interesting story coming up, an interesting survey about unwanted gifts and what people do with them. I thought it was quite interesting, actually. All right.

[Christy Lee]

Some people don't unwrap them.

[Jason]

So they.

[Pat Godwin]

Don'T end up getting them ever again.

[Bob]

Some people don't unwrap them so for such a long time that they give them gifts now, not even wrapped. So you can just go, here, here's the gift. So being the giver, you at least know that they've seen the gift instead of sitting in his office for three and a half.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob]

Or longer.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of hostility today.

[Bob]

It's the holidays. What do you expect?

[Chick McGee]

Well, typically, often in the past, when we do our final show of the year, I'm on an airplane a few.

[Bob]

Hours later because you can't sit still.

[Pat Godwin]

When do you leave this year?

[Chick McGee]

Not for a while. Not for quite a while. So they.

[Bob]

I.

[Chick McGee]

But traditionally, I've just had the stuff gathered and thrown at my office, and then I'll get it. I'll get to it later.

[Bob]

Tom.

[Josh Arnold]

2027.

[Bob]

Look, Tom, I think, I think today, I think show is a perfect time to tell you this. Look, we've known each other a long time. We've worked together for decades. I know when you're lying. You know when you're lying. Christy knows when you're lying.

[Chick McGee]

We all know. What's the lie? That you're not.

[Bob]

You're still not going to open these presents despite the fact you got a. It didn't have anything to do with you leaving right away after the show.

[Josh Arnold]

It was.

[Bob]

You don't like to open Christmas presents.

[Chick McGee]

I'll open them. I'll open them today.

[Bob]

I don't. Well, I didn't wrap mine for you guys this year, so.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, same. I, I.

[Bob]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. We've been trained, so it's all right now.

[Chick McGee]

We had a.

[Bob]

Well, you're, you're, you're wrong now.

[Chick McGee]

Remember the story? Remember the survey that we had?

[Christy Lee]

What survey?

[Chick McGee]

About how people prefer their gifts wrapped.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I, I can, I can actually get the numbers for if you want them.

[Christy Lee]

Some of them are in a bag, but that's just because I had to.

[Bob]

But, but there are some people who don't care if they're wrapped or not. Right. I'd be in that number.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I am, too. Yeah. But I like, I love rapping for the kids because. Of course. Oh, sure.

[Bob]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

And how do you feel about giving Someone a car. Do you want the big a car?

[Bob]

You gotta have the.

[Chick McGee]

Gotta have the ribbon on top.

[Bob]

You gotta have the boat ever giving you a car. Hey, Hoffy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob]

Listen to me. Brock Purdy gave his offensive lineman and this is a thing in the NFL where they. The quarterbacks for the teams give all their offensive linemen like shotguns or boots or yeti coolers and Rolex watches. Many, many, many gifts. Yeah. Thousands and thousands of dollars. Brock Purdy gave all of his offensive lineman new cars yesterday. And the video, the video was. And I didn't think Purdy made that much money yet, but I don't think he's going to, given the way he's playing lately.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe it was give it away.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe he just put the down payment, but I didn't. Here's the. Here's the.

[Bob]

I swear to you I thought the exact same thing when I'm watching this video. There's got to be a deal with the dealership. They let him use them for a year or something. There's no way that that punk kid, who I can throw better than, bought these guys all these cars.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, he's still on his rookie deal, man.

[Chick McGee]

We do have that in the news regarding the quarterback from Cincinnati. Very creative gift to his Mr. Burrow. O line. Yeah, Joe Burrow. We got that coming up.

[Bob]

You like that term O line, don't you? You think that's inside NFL talk, don't you?

[Chick McGee]

No, this is not my lane. I'm just the old line.

[Christy Lee]

Who won the game last night? Didn't we have a game last night?

[Bob]

Did we? Oh, did we? And did we have somebody in the room pick the score and get the. Get the pick correct? Oh, I. I think. Yeah, I think we did. Yeah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we did. And there was something happened during the game and I don't want to hear any static out of you people. I don't want to hear any questions. I wasn't aware of the rule. I don't care about the rule. The Chargers scored three points last night on something that I haven't seen since. Ray Wersching was the kicker for the San Francisco 49ers. But I will tell you that Justin Herbert passed for 284 yards, two touchdowns, including a go ahead 19 yarder to Darius Davis. Chargers winning 34, 27 last night over the Denver Broncos at Sofi in Inglewood. And I had the Chargers minus the three bullseye and Cameron Dicker.

[Chick McGee]

Dicker nearly killed her.

[Bob]

They call him. They call him Dicker, the kicker of the Chargers. Listen to me.

[Jason]

You know what?

[Bob]

I don't know why you're listening to me. Because you're. Because I'm confused about this. I can't imagine how you guys are going to feel. All right, Are you ready?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Cameron Dicker at the Chargers made the first successful fair catch kick in the NFL since 1976 last night. Hang on. He connected from 57 yards right before halftime against the Broncos. Dicker and the Chargers took advantage of a seldom used football play in the NFL called the fair catch kick, which allows a team that's just made a fair catch to try a free kick for three points.

[Josh Arnold]

I've. Somebody pulled this in the backyard one time, right? Yes.

[Christy Lee]

When you were playing football, you were.

[Bob]

Like, hey, wait a minute, dude, it's a rule.

[Josh Arnold]

Baffled. And that's exactly what that kid said. Dude, It's a rule.

[Bob]

That's funny. Only five NFL teams had previously ever tried to kick in the 21st century. Nobody had successfully executed it since Ray Wersching did it for the Chargers 48 years ago.

[Chick McGee]

Can you read the rule one more time?

[Bob]

Okay, here we go. That Chargers took advantage. Seldom used football play called the fair catch kick, which allows a team that has just made a fair catch instead of taking the ball and setting up offense and starting their drive to try a free kick for three points. And the free kick is. You can't have a rusher. We'll have the video of it coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Bob]

You can't have a rusher. You can't have anybody. There's. He's just kicking from where they caught the ball and to through the uprights. And if he makes it, it's three points for that team.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob]

There you go. That it's. I had. When they started talking about it, I kind of sort of remembered it, but.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, now, so if they miss, then they had. The other team gets the ball at that spot.

[Pat Godwin]

He's blocking.

[Chick McGee]

Remember. Do you remember.

[Bob]

Remember what he said? I don't know the answer to that.

[Chick McGee]

That's a great question. And I would. I would assume that would be fair.

[Bob]

I would imagine the team would get it at the spot that the ball was kicked.

[Chick McGee]

Otherwise it would be no risk, Right? Oh, wow. Well, that's interesting.

[Josh Arnold]

It is interesting. If they dug that one up.

[Bob]

And plus the. Who are they playing? The Broncos. There was a penalty. The guy interfered with a fair cat, so they moved the ball closer. So that's kind of sort of why they decided to go ahead and try to kill.

[Chick McGee]

That was a bad news for Edward Bonilla our winner of week 15. He picked against the Chickster on that one.

[Bob]

Suck it, Eddie.

[Chick McGee]

He picked the Broncos.

[Bob]

Happy holidays, punk.

[Chick McGee]

Eddie was such a suck on that.

[Bob]

Put that in your stock.

[Chick McGee]

Such a nice guy. Eddie is going to take some of that, some of that money for that, that Stephen Singer jewelers gift certificate and buy something for his nice. What did he say? 13 year old daughter.

[Bob]

Yeah. Yeah. That's a shame, Eddie, you missed that one. Pay me.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob]

That's a shame.

[Chick McGee]

No pay required. It's not Eddie, it's Edward. Thank you, Edward. Wow. Well, that's, that's interesting. Thank you very much. Coming up, we do have some Joe Burrow news, as mentioned earlier, and a lot of interesting stuff, really interesting stuff coming up in the news today. I'm very excited about including this world of sports. We have skiing, we have pickleball.

[Bob]

You're, you're doing the skiing story.

[Chick McGee]

We have Aaron Rodgers in the news.

[Christy Lee]

All the news is sports. Wow.

[Bob]

Well, no, there's, what's the Aaron Rodgers news about his. Oh, he's going to mentor the quarterback. Have you watched the Netflix Aaron Rodgers thing yet? It's, it's a rough watch. It's, it's a little troubling really. He's, he's got, yeah, he's. I don't know what, but he said that Brett Favre, remember when they drafted Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre said, it doesn't say in my contract I have to mentor Aaron Rodgers. That's not in my contract. That was Favre said. So now he's, he's feeling, you know, he's going to try to pay it back and not be like Brett Favre was. But they show there's a scene of him in the documentary him and Favre in Hattiesburg at Favre's ranch. So I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Guess they got along.

[Bob]

Yeah, I guess so eventually.

[Chick McGee]

Also coming up in the news, the holiday is the season for the penile fracture.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Bob]

Who knew? That's gotta hurt, huh?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Merry Christmas. We'll be hearing about that right now. I want to remind you, those last minute gifts and this is the last minute, so act on this one right now. I'm talking about Field of Dreams whiskey. What am I talking about? Well, Field of Dreams whiskey is whiskey made from the corn from the actual field from the Field of Dreams movie. Our friend Drew Storen, major league baseball pitcher, now retired, he acquired the rights to that corn and they've turned it into a small batch bourbon, a limited edition, 20 collectible bottles each with an image of a baseball legend hidden under the cap. See what I'm talking about? Head over to the website, go to drinkfieldofdreams.com and by the way, this is in stores in certain states. I think it's like Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky in stores. And it can be shipped from some states. So let me tell you about that in just a second. I'll remind you that there's a Bob and tom show exclusive. Two bottles of the small batch bourbon for $49 each, plus shipping. If you visit drinkfieldofdreams.com use my name, Tom, as the code at checkout. Once again, the code is Tom. Drinkfieldofdreams.com this is a limited edition set of bottles, if you will. And it's not available in every state. It can't be shipped from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Vermont. You must be 21, of course. Please drink responsibly. And again, it is available in the other states for shipping. I would get on that immediately. Once again, it's drinkfieldofdreams.com for a nationwide delivery. Something special for the baseball fan that likes a delightful bourbon. Coming up, another interesting story. Can you get chlamydia at the gym? You're probably saying, sure, if you're banging somebody in the locker.

[Bob]

I don't know where else.

Yeah, we'll find out what that's all about, coming up. And some interesting sporting news. And congratulations on the shoe in pick. And all your shoe in picks are posted where.

[Josh Arnold]

So long as somebody. We have quotes.

[Bob]

We gotta check boxes.

[Chick McGee]

This is. This is the one that's in the HR manual, the human resources manual. Page one, about sexual harassment. Don't walk up to a woman wearing her Christmassy green velvet shirt and say, this must be felt. And grab her in an inappropriate area. That's.

[Christy Lee]

Grab her arm or something.

[Chick McGee]

That's a cool shirt. I'm not even sure you could do that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Christy. Don't speak for other offices.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. This one.

[Christy Lee]

This one's a little different.

[Chick McGee]

Our rules are a little bit relaxed. I see. Coming up, we have some fascinating things in the world of news and including some good sporting stuff. Some ski news. NFL news.

[Bob]

Ski news, everybody. We've got ski news. That's for Tom and three other people listening.

[Chick McGee]

It's really more drunken skiing. Yes. It's drinking skiing news.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I don't recommend that.

[Chick McGee]

We have a snowman update, a murder Hornets update.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

It's very exciting, but right now it's time. Just do a little bit of review to get ready. I will.

[Bob]

This is our last review of the year.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. So pay close attention.

[Bob]

And if I've played my cards correctly, this could be the last review ever. But let's not. Let's not get too excited. I'm not promising anything, but here we go.

[Chick McGee]

I'm gonna open this up for.

[Bob]

Hello, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Just so that we have a. A standard by which. To get more joyful.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I thought we'd start with this. I mentioned the one thing I remembered from the first time I saw a dead body.

[Bob]

Happy holidays.

[Chick McGee]

See that? This is. You know, I'm setting the bar here. So as things get more joyful. They were taking the lady from across the street out like a stretcher thing and.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah. The ambulance and her.

[Chick McGee]

And her.

[Christy Lee]

Her gurney.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Her feet were kind of a little too long, so they were kind of hanging off the edge and her. And she was wearing sort of. I remember. I remember. Kind of white.

[Bob]

Hey, man.

[Chick McGee]

Semi dirty tennis shoes. And we're all gonna be. Her legs were still flopping.

[Bob]

We're all gonna be on that gurney.

[Chick McGee]

I know. I. I did, but that's my first memory, and it was really creepy.

[Bob]

But my first memory is the house across the street caught fire and burned down one night.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Bob]

I remember that. Yeah. I was like, 8 or 9.

[Chick McGee]

But I mean, how about the first dead body?

[Bob]

First dead body I've seen.

[Christy Lee]

Me. Not in a coffin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I haven't.

[Bob]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, it. And I don't know if I can sue the people. Three Faces of Eve or not, but I. I was made to touch my grandfather when I was about 6 years old.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob]

When he died. So, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Bob]

It was very common. My mother. My mother absolutely said to me, if you don't touch him, you'll have bad.

[Pat Godwin]

Dreams about an Irish thing.

[Bob]

So, yeah. I had to touch my grandfather, and I did not want to.

[Chick McGee]

Where did you touch him?

[Bob]

On the hand. I didn't touch him. On the dork.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no, no. I didn't work. I'm not familiar with its tradition.

[Josh Arnold]

My finger in his mouth.

[Bob]

I put my thumb.

[Chick McGee]

All right, all right. I did. Sorry. I didn't know what the tradition was. Felt.

[Bob]

Pillow up a little bit for me, please. Thank you, Pat.

[Chick McGee]

Is that a thing you've done that, touch the hands?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. It's a huge Irish thing.

[Josh Arnold]

We did not.

[Bob]

We did not take pictures. But there are. I was married to my first marriage. That was very common. They took pictures of funerals.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Did you pose next to the.

[Bob]

I did not. I dodged that bullet as well.

[Christy Lee]

I will not look at dead people.

[Bob]

She won't do it. You're the opposite of Haley Joel Osborne.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Bob]

I don't look at dead people.

[Christy Lee]

I won't. Joshua, stand outside.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. Untraditional funereal.

[Bob]

So let me get this straight. This is our gift exchange, last show of the year, and we're talking about when we've seen and or touched a dead body? Is that what we're doing?

[Josh Arnold]

And thankfully, I have not seen a dead body that wasn't dead already, if you know what I mean.

[Christy Lee]

Wasn't embalmed.

[Bob]

You know, I'd like to follow up Josh's disclaimer by saying all the dead bodies I've seen were dead already before I got there.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I had nothing to do with it.

[Bob]

That's none of your business.

[Chick McGee]

Good qualifier.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. I just thought now we can. It's. Everything's going to go up from here. Ace, you want to weigh in on this any.

[Ace Cosby]

I have seen a dead body in a morg.

[Chick McGee]

In a morg.

[Bob]

Did you work in a morgue? Oh, you know what?

[Josh Arnold]

I. I have two.

[Ace Cosby]

I was really young. I don't know Why? I was there. It was at my mother's hospital.

[Christy Lee]

So I thought you were going to say I had to identify.

[Josh Arnold]

I did forget about. I was in a anatomy class and I did see dead bodies in. In Morton.

[Pat Godwin]

I had to identify my ex wife.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. But she's still alive and everything you said, that's her.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, what did you forget to tell us?

[Chick McGee]

So that was just in case.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Thank you very much. Very, very helpful. Pat. For some reason that came up yesterday.

[Bob]

I don't know why the behind the scenes folks are. Because everybody's here today. It's the last show. Jess Hooker just advised me from the other room. My grandpa died. He was shirtless because they had to put the paddles on him.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob]

And his nipples were as big as pencil erasers. That's what she remembers.

[Chick McGee]

See, this is the kind of troubling thing.

[Bob]

This is what we're doing.

[Chick McGee]

Told you it'd be worth it. Okay, okay. All right. We can. We can move on.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't like this.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't either.

[Bob]

Don't think anybody wants to be happy.

[Chick McGee]

We learned yesterday that Chick's dog has chewed a window through this wooden fence in the backyard.

[Christy Lee]

He wants to meet his buddy so.

[Chick McGee]

We can see the neighbor. Doggy.

[Bob]

Yeah, there's a doggy back there and she wants to be friends or something, man. And she beavered her way right through that fence.

[Josh Arnold]

She's willing to remodel.

[Bob]

Yeah. Thank goodness. The people at Bullseye Fence, they came over. They came over and made the repair and. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Why don't you take Joey over there and introduce them and maybe they'll be buddies.

[Bob]

They know each other, they've seen each other, but they don't like being separated. And I don't want another dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Shut up.

[Bob]

It's holiday. Oh, God. Jesus needs another dog.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, now, yesterday there was an incident on the show. We were talking about one of the more. More or less contemporary Christmas movies called Love actually. And Josh does not care for the movie.

[Bob]

Something.

[Chick McGee]

We got into a. We got into a heated discussion about it. And in the process of that, Josh let a curse word slip. One of the big ones. As. As a. As you might hear in the Christmas Story, it was the fudge word. Except you didn't say fudge.

[Christy Lee]

How are you today? Did you pull a muscle? Are you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I fell off my chair reaching for the. We have something. It's called the so called dump button. And I had papers. It's on this thing over here. I had papers on top of it. And so I'm frantically trying to find it. In fact, I made a mental note just to have Eddie put, like, make it glow.

[Bob]

Make it glow.

[Chick McGee]

But I did get to it on top. What do I have? Seven seconds?

[Christy Lee]

How much is it that long? I don't think it's that long.

[Chick McGee]

And I barely made it, apparently. But I did make. I. I heard this morning. There's a video of me scrambling. You have it.

[Christy Lee]

Great.

[Bob]

There he is. Look at that. Hurl me a fish.

[Chick McGee]

He said, yeah, okay, I can see myself. And hit play.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, that's just.

[Pat Godwin]

It was still of you hurting yourself moment.

[Bob]

You're not going to replay it? Because then he'd say, air Force.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I see.

[Bob]

You see the problem.

[Christy Lee]

We'll be in trouble.

[Chick McGee]

And. Yeah, so. But we just. We've agreed to disagree. Josh strongly dislikes the movie.

[Josh Arnold]

Look, it's. It's. It's a real bad movie. If it makes you happy. I. I will never argue with that. But you cannot tell me it's great, because it isn't.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, fair enough.

[Chick McGee]

Just kind of a sweet, happy soul flaw.

[Bob]

It's Richard Curtis.

[Josh Arnold]

I know. Who's made really good stuff. He's one. He's one of my favorites. And then he. And then.

[Chick McGee]

Not again.

[Josh Arnold]

We can't talk about it. I guess I get to.

[Bob]

Well, I shat out another one. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Cursing for Christmas. So. So far we've covered cursing and dead bodies. It was a good show yesterday.

[Bob]

Happy holidays.

[Chick McGee]

Let's see me talk about. Go. Chick says, please stop bugging us with email. Your email request. Yes. We'd love to hear from you. Once again, it's Bob and Tom at Bob and Tom.

[Bob]

Yeah, I didn't mean it there. You got a lot of stuff I don't mean.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I learned a word. You guys already knew all this. What? Dink?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

A dink is a double income, no kids, dual income, dual income, no kids. I. And then Ohio. Riz. That's. What is that?

[Bob]

I still thought. I still.

[Josh Arnold]

So you don't even listen when I'll take you?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, I. But I'm confused. It was. Riz means charisma.

[Christy Lee]

Riz means cool. So it's like Ohio cool. It's like. It's Ohio cool.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

He explained to us that it means kind of weird but sexy. Yeah, that's exactly his words.

[Christy Lee]

And Ohio by itself is bad.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. We had a nice new song from Pat, perhaps. Why don't we do that again?

[Bob]

Sure.

[Pat Godwin]

Which one are you talking about?

[Chick McGee]

I don't want to give it away.

[Josh Arnold]

Fair enough.

[Chick McGee]

It's the one about words.

[Josh Arnold]

You got to tell the musician. You have to at least give it away to the musician.

[Chick McGee]

Was the one the only new one you did yesterday that I'm aware of?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I sing a lot in this room that you don't even hear me.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you want to grab your ax or you want to do it? Acapella.

[Bob]

That's my favorite party. Doesn't know you're talking about Now. Yes, now.

[Chick McGee]

A couple. While he gets organized over there, I want to remind you, New Year's Eve, Grand Island, Nebraska. Willie G. And Greg Hahn at the back room at Bosselman. Also, Mr. Pat Godwin will be at the famous Sullivan's. I guess we're calling it the North Pole Comedy Club, but. Details, details.

[Josh Arnold]

Sullivan's Hardware.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, it's not called the North Pole Comedy Club.

[Josh Arnold]

Go ahead.

[Christy Lee]

Are you two gonna fight today? This is great.

[Bob]

So help me God, somebody tells me this is my fault somehow. I'm. I'm coming out of my tracksuit.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Chick's in one of his moods.

[Bob]

What happened there?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Bob]

I caused Josh and Tom to fight. I am not sure. 1, 2, 3.

[Pat Godwin]

Tom's correcting your speech. He's letting you know. An Ivy League degree. He's telling you so. Grammar clause is coming to town. Hey, when I've sang or sung, he corrects me for sure. It's hanged, not hung. And it's restaurateur, not restaurant tour. Grammar clause is coming to town. He corrects you and your speaking. It's not normalcy, you tool. You can't use a mixed metaphor in a song, you silly fool. You feel nauseated, not nauseous. And there's no such word as irregardless. Grammar clause is coming. The rest of us are dumbing it down. Grammar clause is coming to town. He's so pretentious.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I'm very pleased. Have a song written about me in the. In the Christmas spirit. Now, Josh, that you like that song.

[Josh Arnold]

I enjoyed it yesterday. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Josh Arnold]

I really want to live a new life each day.

[Chick McGee]

That's my issue. Okay. God. Coming up, we have snowman news, but why don't we quickly check into the NFL? Let me know what happened last night. Again.

[Bob]

One more time. Justin Herbert. 284 yards, two touchdowns. The Chargers last night win 34, 27 to so fine Inglewood. The Chargers comeback also included Cameron Dicker, their kicker, the first successful fair catch kick in the NFL since 1976. Last night, he connected from 57 yards before halftime against the Denver Broncos. And I don't think there's NFL expert alive that can make me understand that rule and why it's in the game and this, that and the other. I don't understand it. But the Chargers got three points, so there you go. Have. I'm happy for them because I got, I also got my pick minus how.

[Chick McGee]

Much time was left on the clock.

[Bob]

I have a halftime. Yes, Ace.

[Ace Cosby]

All the things caught me was they were lined up like a kickoff. They weren't, you know, like a regular.

[Bob]

Yeah, because they, there's no, they don't have to. Yeah, it's. What is that? 40, 57, 57 yards. There you go. And here he goes.

[Chick McGee]

I wonder if this will be in.

[Bob]

The other team's not allowed to rush. That's why they line up like that. And if he misses the kick, the other team can return it. So that's why they're lined up like that for a kickoff.

[Chick McGee]

That's interesting.

[Bob]

And if he didn't miss the kick, the other team could have gotten it where he kicked it from, I guess.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. When will we see that again? It could be sooner than later.

[Bob]

It might not be. I might, might not ever. I say get it out of the rule book. I say if they took it out, took it out of the rulebook, nobody know. Right.

[Chick McGee]

But you have to wonder. I would imagine that there are probably people very high up in the NFL in the world of coaching that aren't aware of that rule.

[Bob]

I, I, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Because you've been watching football.

[Bob]

There's probably NFL players who go, that's everyday man.

[Chick McGee]

And boy, that's a rule.

[Bob]

Yeah, I bet so. And NBC Sports making this on Saturday. That's right. An NFL alternate broadcast on the Peacock network. The Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs are going to be broadcast in real time as if it's being played in the Madden video game universe. The Madden alternate cast will be streamed on Peacock with the main broadcast on NBC starting at 1:00 Eastern Time tomorrow. The first time NBC's done an alternate broadcast of an NFL game. Of course, CBS has done the Nickelodeon with the Simpsons and Toy Story and, and all sorts of things. And so there you go. Tom, will you be watching that?

[Chick McGee]

I'm confused. What is it going to be exactly?

[Bob]

You know how you, have you ever played Madden?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Bob]

The NFL. Well, it will look like the game's being played on Madden.

[Christy Lee]

Like they did the Simpson thing, like.

[Bob]

They did the Simpsons instead of the cartoon character.

[Chick McGee]

Sure, I understand. Yeah, that Is really interesting. Now the, the game is imitating. The Madden game is imitating a real game. Now they're going to do an imitation of the imitation.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

This is. What is that called? Meta.

[Josh Arnold]

It is very meta.

[Bob]

It does seem like I had on a hat, but.

[Chick McGee]

But you love. I had an hat.

[Bob]

I, I love the word hat. And that explains my Christmas gifts this year.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, we'll get to that. That's a great.

[Bob]

More Madden information coming up with who else but the New York Jets? There's. There's trouble and yeah, I'll tell you about it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, and I did get one letter about one other thing from yesterday that was, I thought was quite interesting. Josh is the only one of us who's really participated in a so called mosh pit.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes.

[Chick McGee]

Ace has observed them. I've seen them certainly. But I've never, you know, gone in sort of flailing away there, There is a, a new kind of, kind of a diaper thing and it's the. Have you heard about this? It's like a. What did they call it? The pit.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Liquid death and yeah, yeah. Depends, folks. Did they get together?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Very good.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it is actually. It just depends. And it's an adult diaper and they've already sold out according to the San Francisco Chronicle. And it looks like kind of a leather.

[Christy Lee]

It looks like a fanny pack that you would wear. Almost like a codpiece kind of thing.

[Chick McGee]

$75 diaper designed to allow fans to stay in the mosh pit without having take bathroom breaks.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now, I assume this is just for number one or is it for both, for God's sake? I mean, I'm pretty sure it's for.

[Bob]

Both because there was something about an odor.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob]

Control aspect to it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow.

[Bob]

Unless you've eaten asparagus.

[Josh Arnold]

Did the emailer say they've done this?

[Chick McGee]

No, just said that it'd be pretty badass. Much more badass than wearing what he used to have as a child, which was a Transformer diaper. So, you know, if you're going to see Iron Maiden, you don't want to be wearing your Transformer diapers. Yeah, they probably wouldn't fit anymore.

[Bob]

Has diaper technology gotten better? It's been a long time since I've had to wrestle a diaper, but yeah, it's great. It's amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

You'll find out soon enough.

[Bob]

I hope so. Yeah, that'd be all right.

[Chick McGee]

The swimming diapers are amazing. They can. Because there was a time when you put a kid in a pool with a regular diaper and in two minutes they, you know, they were completely absorbed. Yeah, this diaper technology is amazing. And that's right, we will all be wearing those pretty soon, huh? I don't know. Be kind of handy. You wouldn't have to get up and walk to the men's room. Ladies room.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't that the perfect revenge for your kids? Hey, you gave me a lot of health growing up. You gotta wipe my ass now. I thought that was the thing every dad wanted.

[Bob]

Father time.

[Chick McGee]

Shows welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Happy Holidays. It's our annual gift exchange. Are we ready for a gift or we gotta wait? Are we on the timeline here?

[Christy Lee]

The hell is that?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, throughout the day. We can do it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, before we get to that.

[Pat Godwin]

Just threw his arms up. I don't know what that means.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what that means.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wait a minute. There's something on the big screen coming our way. Oh, look, it's Adseptic.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, this is a gift from Edward.

[Jason]

Happy holidays, everybody. Ad Septic here, the plumber don't give a flush.

[Bob]

There it is.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Jason]

Nobody dreams of a brown Christmas. So if you find yourself walking in a fecal wonderland this holiday, give me Santa Septic a call. I'll send one of my turd burglanelles right on over. Oh, man. How you guys doing? Oh, man, I'm super happy because each one of Santa Septic's little helpers is equipped with a craptastic snake 3000.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Jason]

Guaranteed to get your 12 pipes of piping. Have I mentioned I sold out of the septic T shirts and hoodies?

[Chick McGee]

I heard.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's. Congratulations.

[Jason]

I also sold out of my pood off the brown nose reindeer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes, very cute.

[Jason]

Who's kissing Santa's ass? That's right. Put off the brown nosed reindeer. Luckily for your listeners, I still have two storage lockers filled with deuces on spruces. Each deuce on a spruce stands only 2 foot tall and contains a fresh deuce that I just fished out today. A great centerpiece on your holiday table.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Jason]

I saw mommy kissing and septic. No, you didn't, you punk ass kid. Because I won't sleep with your wife. I definitely won't kiss your mom. That's a hundred percent guarantee. I gotta run. Just be sure to Leave out some almond milk and cookies for Santa. Septic, I'm lactose intolerant, so don't let the pinch that clog Christmas get you down this holiday season. Call me Ed Septic the plumber that says Christmas. Merry Christmas to all. And to all a good flush.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, Ed. In case you missed it. Did he say the pinch?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, he did.

[Christy Lee]

He did.

[Josh Arnold]

The pinch that ruined Christmas or something.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you.

[Bob]

Hey, here's something. Tom, you ready? This is from the world of the NFL and the athletic. An article written in that website has drummed up questions regarding the influence that Woody Johnson's the owner of the New York jets and his teenage sons are having and have had on the team's personnel decisions. Now, the jets are like 3 and 10 or 4 and 11 or they're not very good. Tom, we know this, right? Well, according to the report, the jets did not pull the trigger on trading for Broncos wide receiver Jerry Judy when he was available. Johnson that one of the teens said his Madden rating wasn't very high. Oh, so we shouldn't draft him? Dad.

[Chick McGee]

Wow, amazing.

[Bob]

So the teens are in charge and this is just the kind of story where you can go, that's. There's no way that this is 100% true.

[Josh Arnold]

Are the Madden analytics good?

[Bob]

I don't know what they base them on, but I mean, I know the NFL players. It's a big damn deal whenever they come out every year with what am I rated on Madden and things like that. But yeah, I guess it could be used as one indicator of who you should have on your football team. I don't know if a video game, the way Madden goes should be the video game. And Tom, I also have for you this story that I hope is just as interesting as I hope I found it. Have you ever. You collected baseball cards, right? Football cards?

[Chick McGee]

I was a kid. Yeah, sure.

[Bob]

Company called the Industrial Inspection and Consulting. Okay, now you're probably wondering what they do. Well, IIC is a company focusing primarily on industrial X rays and CAT scans within the medical and aerospace fields to potentially take the COVID off the trading card industry. You heard me. In a process, the company with no prior connections to the trading card industry, they've earned thousands of satisfied customers already in the trading card space, all electing for a sneak peek at cards from unopened boxes.

[Ace Cosby]

Wow, that's great.

[Bob]

As to what cards are in the.

[Josh Arnold]

Box, I'm totally against it. Ace, you're a fan of it.

[Bob]

That's the problem. The service caters to high end products manufactured by Tops and upper deck. With the technology best suited to reveal cards in densely packed configurations so they.

[Chick McGee]

Can go through all of them.

[Bob]

First off the line case, for instance. Each case might want to do some math here. It comes with two boxes. Each box comes with one pack, 10 cards. At $15,000 a case, it makes economic sense. Collectors are willing to pay the scanning company going rate of $650 per case. They'll go through a case and tell you what is without opening the case. Whether you'd want to keep these or send them on to someone, sell them on to someone else knowing that they're.

[Josh Arnold]

This is terrible. This is the end of it.

[Bob]

There are no cards in. And I would say more than half of the excitement is finding out what's in there.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Or never knowing or never.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And for hardcore collectors, I'm not one of those, but wow.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's really interesting.

[Bob]

The ethical dilemma isn't for this group of non collectors in western Michigan who came up with the scanning, but it's of course, the hobbyist. We've had to wrestle with this as a team. The spokesman for IIC said we have to think differently about trading cards. Some of us say, well, it is what it is. We're making money. Other. This feels like we're participating in something that is very much in a gray area and we're wrestling with it. I think where we land is that we are data people. We're very good at what we do. And if we're not doing it, then somebody else will.

[Chick McGee]

I can't believe the technology can do that.

[Bob]

It's stunning.

[Chick McGee]

That's great.

[Bob]

This is from the Athletic, which is a good follow on Instagram.

[Josh Arnold]

Interesting.

[Bob]

They put out a good.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, sure.

[Bob]

Put out a real nice product.

[Chick McGee]

Could they do that for that? What is a Schrodinger's cat thing?

[Bob]

Like look inside the box and see what's going on.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's. That's the technology. That's absolutely incredible.

[Bob]

Yeah. You could actually see what's in the. Yep.

[Chick McGee]

Now, well, how do they.

[Bob]

No chance in it at all ever.

[Chick McGee]

What about the source of all this stuff? Who's at the. Who's in the tops factory?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, making the decision.

[Chick McGee]

Making the decision about what goes in the packs.

[Christy Lee]

Is it random?

[Bob]

I don't. Yeah, I don't. I've never been a card guy. I mean, I've got. I probably have thousands of Washington Redskins cards that people have sent me over the years and I love them to death, but I've never even looked at them. I've Never done a price as to what I have.

[Josh Arnold]

Are a lot of them wrapped still?

[Bob]

No, they're in like these collector boxes. I mean, they're in good shape. They're not unwrapped.

[Chick McGee]

But I'm saying who at the factory is decide, you know, seeding certain cards and how do they know they've only printed 10 of them?

[Bob]

Well, I think they always know how many they print. But. But who's to say what cards are going to be, you know, I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Know how they shuffle them all together.

[Bob]

Yeah. And we'll put they got a big.

[Christy Lee]

Machine like they do in Vegas when you play blackjack.

[Josh Arnold]

Giant shoe.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What prevents some guy from going in on the weekend and printing, you know, four extra ones?

[Josh Arnold]

They must have, you know, proper security.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I'm sure you can fit a baseball card up your ass if it's going to be worth $80,000.

[Josh Arnold]

It's no longer meant though, is it?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I. It depends if they make hemorrhoid cream and flavor. By the way, that reminds Ace corrected me. I was reading this article from the San Francisco Chronicle and it indeed says it's about this pit diaper that Liquid Death has put together with the company is depend, not Depends. I had always thought the diapers were called Depends. They were and now it's called depend. And I double check.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, they took the S off.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I wonder why.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's probably so full of S.

[Josh Arnold]

That'S.

[Chick McGee]

They don't need to add any more. Coming up, very exciting things going on. We have a cool Joe Burrow story and what he did for his offensive line. Very, very interesting. Plus we have.

Yeah, you know. Okay, there's Ace Cosby, Kwanzaa, I'm Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

And here's what does Kwanzaa. Is it over day after. After Christmas, Day after Christmas. He doesn't know. Is it a one day thing?

[Christy Lee]

Seven days.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wait a second. We've just been joined in the studio by Ed. Ed Septic is here.

[Jason]

How did he get here? I was just in the neighborhood cleaning.

[Pat Godwin]

Out, getting the character.

[Bob]

Hey, here's the thing. Use the right voice.

[Chick McGee]

Jesus.

[Jason]

Yeah, I'm just in the neighborhood. Clean out some of Tom's drains. I got a stack of $2 bills out of one of his daughters toilet. Merry Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, did we just turn off.

[Bob]

Look at what we got.

[Chick McGee]

Turn off the switches there.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice. Thank you.

[Bob]

Oh, a Rolex. Oh, is this a. Is this for your toilet? I. Oh, I love these.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my God.

[Chick McGee]

What is it?

[Jason]

That's right. What I got is a lot of toilet bowl thing. Those things are.

[Bob]

Or.

[Jason]

Or what do you call it when you. Motion detected.

[Bob]

Yep.

[Jason]

And when you walk into your crapper in the middle of the night.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Jason]

You ain't got to flip on your lot. Now your bowl will glow.

[Josh Arnold]

Look at that. Now your bowl will glow.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

This tiny light will light up the whole bowl.

[Jason]

It's gonna make it. Oh, it makes pain not so much fun.

[Christy Lee]

Is it like a disco in your back?

[Jason]

It can be the way saying.

[Chick McGee]

Where does this go now? I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

On the side of the toilet on the rim.

[Jason]

Here's the rims on the rim. You okay on there, Tom?

[Bob]

And this is a motion sensor. So it'll know when you come in and change the color.

[Jason]

Like let's say you like a blue light.

[Josh Arnold]

I do like a blue.

[Jason]

So yeah, you got pink for the light.

[Chick McGee]

So this. So you walk in the back and this thing. Does this thing face the door? Is that how this works?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, it faces the outside. So this goes inside the bowl. So here's the rim.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Is this getting toilet water on at this point?

[Jason]

Well, the part of it if you don't know how to aim.

[Chick McGee]

Well, have you been to the bathrooms here?

[Jason]

Merry Christmas, everybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, thank you.

[Jason]

Merry Christmas to all and to all the good flush.

[Chick McGee]

I think mine needs new batteries. Is it?

[Bob]

No. Cover the front of it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It's motion. So if you.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. This is exciting.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob]

It's like light activated. I don't mean motion. Light activated.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, light activate.

[Bob]

Well, in the darkness, it'll come on.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Right. Okay, good.

[Bob]

Well, so you don't have to turn a light on.

[Chick McGee]

That's handy.

[Bob]

Go take a squirt.

[Chick McGee]

Good to know. Got a great letter here. Here. And if you'll bear with me for just a second.

[Bob]

Well, we always bear with you.

[Chick McGee]

This is just a sweet letter, a happy letter. Yesterday we were doing Today in History, and we mentioned the birthday of Walt no Neck Williams, who, among other things, played for the Chicago White Sox. And Josh, were you at all familiar with Walt?

[Josh Arnold]

I wasn't, no.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I don't think he was a particularly distinguished player. I was not either. I just love that nickname. Walt Nonak Williams. And Mr. Williams, I found. I wanted to know why he had the nickname. But before I got that, I got this really nice letter. This is from Dave in Louisville. He writes, yeah, Walt was one of the nicest guys I've ever met. In the early 70s, we'd get tickets to Tiger Stadium and go behind the on deck circle. We'd try to talk to the players. Walt was the only one who would respond.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

He would always converse with us, but never look at us.

[Josh Arnold]

So there was a neck issue.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. And so that I now. But then I had to find out.

[Jason]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So here we go. Born in Brownwood, Texas, Williams was nicknamed no Neck due to his short stature. He was 5 6, combined with a muscular, compact torso and a short neck. Huh. His odd physical appearance was the result of a typhus injection he received as a baby.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow.

[Chick McGee]

After his hometown had been hit by a flood. So there's a great backstory there for Walt no Neck Williams. And he was a much better player, of course, as. As we reviewed, than Dave no Feet Sims.

[Jason]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That guy. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

He struggled around the bases.

[Chick McGee]

Home runs are okay, Right?

[Josh Arnold]

Right. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

He couldn't really beat out a. Beat out a single. Yeah. Never confused, by the way, with the barefoot guy. Yeah.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Shoeless Joe.

[Chick McGee]

Shoeless Joe.

[Josh Arnold]

Footless.

[Chick McGee]

Footless Dave. I'm sorry. So that's a little. Little look and spot. Well, thank you very much for that memory of. Looks like a great guy. Walt Williams. Walt no Neck Williams. Now we turn back to the sports page with Chick McGee across the way.

[Bob]

This. It's that time of year for this sort of thing. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow went the extra mile this holiday season, giving his offensive lineman authentic Japanese katana swords. Christmas.

[Josh Arnold]

Holy cow.

[Bob]

Evidently, that's a desired item. According to Paul Dana Jr. At the Athletic, each unique sword comes with its own story from certain towns or battles. Number nine, put the katanas in a room to allow the offensive line to pick theirs out. Left tackle. Left tackle. Orlando Brown said, Joe does a great job at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful. The fact that he bought me a sword is the most ancient form of respect, really.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it was a real Hattori.

[Bob]

Hanzo, almost the Japanese steel. Oh, yeah, maybe so.

[Chick McGee]

I bet they're the real thing. I'm sure they're quite pricey.

[Josh Arnold]

That is a hatori.

[Chick McGee]

And then if you. If you fail to protect him and he gets sacked, you are of course supposed to lie down on it.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Like, not next to it as the. Well, that is the samurai way, isn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah, that's. Boy, that's.

[Christy Lee]

That's a horrible.

[Josh Arnold]

What are you gonna do? Shame your family? You can't do that. Gotta gut yourself.

[Chick McGee]

Is that what they use? This? Do they use the big one?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't really know.

[Bob]

No, it's. No, the. The hairy carry sword is much smaller.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It has to be.

[Chick McGee]

So this one, you have to fall on it and just skewer yourself.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. Well, I was gonna do it, folks, but I couldn't reach. So anyway, can I have dinner?

[Bob]

Here's an email. Happy holidays. As we enjoy the Christmas season Paul begins, I'd like to request mine and I think everyone's favorite Bob and Tom Christmas story. Of course. I'm talking about Chick McGee's Christmas kitten story. There's nothing better than hearing about the holiday joy that a kitten brought to young Chick McGee for at least five to seven minutes.

[Chick McGee]

Who gave you that letter?

[Bob]

Enjoy the Christmas break. That's Paul from Utica, New York.

[Christy Lee]

Thanks, Paul.

[Josh Arnold]

We're gonna do it. We need nice Christmas music.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes. You're gonna do it.

[Josh Arnold]

I want a proper bed, as they say.

[Bob]

All right.

[Pat Godwin]

Does anyone have a proper bed?

[Bob]

Yeah. Anybody have a problem?

[Josh Arnold]

Any of that?

[Bob]

Give me a second and you know, I'd like to. This story is legend Been. Been. Been told many years here on the show.

[Josh Arnold]

No, this is too somber. I want a happy something that's not.

[Chick McGee]

What is this for Christmas at the funeral home?

[Pat Godwin]

I don't mind.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a Sylvia Plath Christmas.

[Bob]

It did not happen to me. It happened to my dad when he was 5 or 6 years old. And I remember I was.

[Chick McGee]

Did we do. Can we get them. Do we have Something up tempo. That's sweet.

[Ace Cosby]

These aren't.

[Chick McGee]

These aren't working today.

[Bob]

Here's Christmas. Here you go. How's this?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

This is great.

[Bob]

So this happened to my dad. It wasn't me, but he chose when I was 7 or 8 to tell me the story of one morning, he went down Christmas morning and his parents had gotten him a kitten and boxed it up and put it under the tree. And apparently the kitten. Kittens are ornery.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob]

Had gotten out of the box and climbed up into the tree and got entangled up into the lights. Stayed up there and hung itself in the Christmas tree.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, hang.

[Bob]

Hanged itself. Hanged itself in the.

[Chick McGee]

Might as well get. Might as well get the grammar right.

[Josh Arnold]

So that's.

[Chick McGee]

Tell the.

[Bob]

So my father came down Christmas morning and there was a dead kitten hanging in the Christmas tree.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that is just.

[Chick McGee]

That is.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I bet you never had a cat growing up.

[Bob]

No, no, we did. We had many, many cats. My mother.

[Chick McGee]

Really.

[Bob]

My mother loved cats, okay? Ergo, my disdain for them. You can't turn your back on a cat. Keep your head on a swivel, Josh. That is a true story.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, it is brutal. Just off.

[Chick McGee]

And who gave you that letter to read?

[Bob]

I'm not sure. Magically appeared.

[Chick McGee]

I see.

[Bob]

You'll forget by the time we come back.

[Chick McGee]

O.

Some great live comedy as we get ready for the holiday season to really kick into gear year. We're coming right back. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Hi there.

[Amy]

I'm Nicole Khalil, host of this is Woman's Work, where together we're redefining what.

[Chick McGee]

[Bob]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

What a. What a topic.

[Bob]

It's our annual gift exchange. And everyone, I've got your gifts here. Shall we do this now?

[Chick McGee]

Just one second.

[Bob]

Do you have any music we played when we give out gifts?

[Chick McGee]

The weight. Before we get to that, real quick, I got to do a quick correction. The shows tonight and tomorrow with Mr. Greg Hahn are in Springfield, Missouri, at the Blue Room Comedy Club.

[Josh Arnold]

And who told you that they were in Springfield, Illinois?

[Chick McGee]

Greg Hahn.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll text him.

[Chick McGee]

You better. It's in his handwriting. He may be in the wrong place. He may be winging his way to the wrong. That'll happen. You know, with a name like Springfield, is there a Springfield in every state? Is that. No, not in Hawaii, I guess. In any event, I don't think they have GS in Hawaii, so I wanted to correct that. Also, he's with Willie G. At Grand Island, Nebraska. That is in Nebraska for sure. On. On New Year's Eve. Willie G. And Mr. Greg. That'll be a great show. And we've got a lot of other great shows I'll be telling you about in just a few minutes. Okay. Back to the action.

[Bob]

All right. Do you have the. Oh, well, here's the Christmas music. I have it over here. There. Time for our gifts. Are you read. Guess what I got you for. For Christmas?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob]

Are you ready?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob]

Or as my father used to say, I'll just give you the damn money. Go out and buy something you want.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, and he was dressed as Santa.

[Bob]

He was dressed as Santa. That's what made it so vexing.

[Chick McGee]

More lovely Christmas stories from Chick. We've already had the dead kitten story. And now the It's a hat.

[Christy Lee]

You love Christmas.

[Bob]

It's a hat Christmas.

[Josh Arnold]

A hat Christmas.

[Bob]

There you go, Ace. Look at that.

[Chick McGee]

I have liquids here. Don't throw it.

[Josh Arnold]

Can you please say here's your hat to every person?

[Bob]

Here's your hat.

[Chick McGee]

Which one is it, Ace?

[Josh Arnold]

Your hat.

[Chick McGee]

Let me see.

[Bob]

I'm trying to explain to him what's going on here with this hat.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Bob]

This is a newer thing in the NFL. I just noticed it, like, six months ago. I'm sure it's been out longer. But they. And Tom's going to. He's. This isn't going to register with Tom, but this is what the hat manufacturers are doing. They're putting the name of the city of the team upside down on the hats. Oh, I don't know why. They're just doing it on the front. So there you see Las Vegas upside down. And that is a Raiders hat. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob]

Tom, your thoughts? Merry Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Why?

[Bob]

And I got you. I didn't get you Cleveland upside down because I didn't want that.

[Pat Godwin]

He's got liquids over the.

[Josh Arnold]

There.

[Bob]

So close. Now there's Philadelphia upside down. See that? Philadelphia.

[Pat Godwin]

That's got to be for me.

[Bob]

The Redskins. Philadelphia.

[Chick McGee]

This cool hat.

[Bob]

Choke on it, Pat. I mean, that's a.

[Chick McGee]

That's a great color.

[Christy Lee]

That is a color, especially with. Since you're Irish and all. It'll be good. Say, badgers.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't know if I've mentioned that before, but I am. And from Philly.

[Chick McGee]

That's nice.

[Bob]

And there's Christie's. And this is for big whiny baby over there.

[Chick McGee]

Is this. So, wait, I'm confused. So.

[Bob]

Of course you're confused.

[Chick McGee]

It's the world, the new trend. But it's. It's not backwards. It's upside down. So if you look in a mirror, it's still going to be upside down.

[Bob]

They also have upside down and back and backwards sweatshirts.

[Chick McGee]

So this isn't. If you wear your hat backwards, this isn't going to help.

[Ace Cosby]

Like in an ambulance?

[Bob]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Is that what it's for? If you wear your hat backwards and they're x raying your face, you can.

[Bob]

Try and figure out why they're doing it till the cows come home. I just think they thought, hey, just put it upside down. See what happens, happens.

[Chick McGee]

Anything to sell more hats.

[Josh Arnold]

Right on.

[Bob]

You're welcome.

[Josh Arnold]

Blue's hat and classic.

[Chick McGee]

But you got. Mine is a Cleveland Browns hat.

[Bob]

That is normal.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you.

[Pat Godwin]

I love this.

[Chick McGee]

Where'd mine go?

[Bob]

It's in.

[Christy Lee]

It's in the octagon.

[Josh Arnold]

And I would like everybody to know that he did. He would like the fitted.

[Bob]

Oh, I got the more or less fitted. That's right. You can wear that backwards. Make. Tom, that looks good.

[Chick McGee]

That looks good. It's a good color on you, Christian.

[Bob]

Look at that.

[Chick McGee]

Exclusively now. Is that gonna. Pat, I'm not trying to be mean here. You do have the largest head.

[Pat Godwin]

A huge head. It's hard to buy from me. Yeah, a lot of brains.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not saying Einstein had a big head.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I didn't know that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Okay. There we go.

[Bob]

Oh, that is.

[Christy Lee]

We can make it big.

[Bob]

Yeah, you gotta do it, Justin. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you got it on backwards, Josh. Let me see. Oh, and it says, but St. Louis Blues is forwards. Yeah. Reads left to right.

[Bob]

No, but I didn't get. Josh, the backwards right.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

Is yours.

[Bob]

I thought I got you a St. Louis hat. That was upside down.

[Chick McGee]

Is your writing backwards on the back of the hat? You know, just turn your head around. I can read.

[Bob]

Yes, it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Chick. You did get me a St. Louis.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

There's no writing on the back of mine.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Mine is just the dumb brown normal, just like me.

[Josh Arnold]

It's pretty cool.

[Pat Godwin]

I like it.

[Bob]

These are all great hats.

[Chick McGee]

Good color. Thank you, Chick.

[Bob]

You're welcome.

[Chick McGee]

Got the cool Browns logo, the helmet with nothing on it. The classic classic Cleveland Brown's helmet.

[Bob]

Merry Christmas. Here's your hat.

[Christy Lee]

Will you wear your hat?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Will you wear it with the stickers on it like you're like the cool kids. Are you supposed to.

[Chick McGee]

Who's the country lady that always had the price tag on her?

[Christy Lee]

Mini pearl?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. No, thanks.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, she would have the price tag hanging down on the side of her face.

[Bob]

Looks good.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, mini.

[Chick McGee]

That was funny. Okay, now, Pat, we've requested a song.

[Pat Godwin]

What would you like to hear, Tom?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I asked you during the break if there was something you wanted to play.

[Bob]

Well, hang on. We've got a follow up about the Upside Down City.

[Chick McGee]

Are you ready?

[Bob]

This might Appease, Tom. Somewhat. An upside down logo on a new era hat, which is what these hats are, is often seen as a style choice associated with rebellion, individuality or not caring attitude.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob]

The most prominent reason being that it's cool. And the trend is largely popular. Hip hop culture loves it. Wearing hats backwards logo, upside down fashion statement. No deeper meaning, Tom. Beyond its aesthetic and cool.

[Chick McGee]

What a. What a protest that'll. That'll change the world. Well, I wasn't gonna give you the right to vote, but now that you've got a backwards hat on with a logo. Here you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Off the air, we were talking about what a great dad you are. Do you have anything about being a father or.

[Chick McGee]

Or.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I had a song I did that I kind of showcased that I've. I've updated.

[Jason]

Oh, things that dad.

[Pat Godwin]

Dads say. And this is called Dad's Song.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Dad's song.

[Pat Godwin]

I am. I'm struggling with being a dad. Sometimes I hear my own dad's voice in the things I say. Like, oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Well, your dad was a Shakespearean actor. Did he do that student story? And pat, you're being a bad boy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, he did, actually. Where have you been, boy? Pronunciation properly, boy. All right, here we go. Do you have to do your homework? Well, son, I'll tell you why. Because I said so. Oh, you better not powder. I'll give you something to cry about. Because I said so. Don't give me a dirty look. Your face will freeze like that. And you better not touch the thermostat. I'm not heating the whole outdoors. I'll finish off all your chores. Why? Because I said so. Leave your sister alone. Don't make a sound or I'm gonna blow. Don't make me turn this car around.

[Bob]

Why?

[Pat Godwin]

Because I said so. How many times do I have to tell you? If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump to. I'm going to count to three, like my father would say to me. Because I. I said so.

[Chick McGee]

All true.

[Josh Arnold]

All classic dados.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Remember when you're.

[Bob]

You're.

[Chick McGee]

You're a young man and you say to yourself, I will never be. That I will never say because I said so to my kids.

[Bob]

And you.

[Josh Arnold]

You have found yourself saying all the time.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, God, it just flies out of your mouth.

[Chick McGee]

There's all kinds of stuff you say. I would never say that.

[Bob]

I'd. I'd hate to get the way of the show here. But I just gave you guys gifts. Yeah, for Christmas. You guys, you want a gift? You guys Got. Got anything for.

[Chick McGee]

It's a long show. We like to spread it out.

[Bob]

Gave you my card at 6:00am oh, yeah, yeah. Pat got me a door dash gift card. And according to the door dash people, I don't know if it was a mistake, but it was for $11,000. So. Thank you, Pat. I appreciate that.

[Josh Arnold]

I got you a very expensive gift.

[Bob]

Oh, yeah? Yeah. To a restaurant. He got me a restaurant gift card, but nothing from Ace or my two oldest co workers.

[Chick McGee]

It's coming. It's a long show here.

[Bob]

No, no, it's fine.

[Pat Godwin]

That's it. That's the.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no, no. Don't humor him. Oh, God, no.

[Pat Godwin]

Christie's running out of the room to get her gifts.

[Bob]

I'm getting so misty. This is just like my childhood Christmas. People get mad walking out of room. Rooms.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Jeff, Okay. Also got us lottery tickets. So I want you to sit here and listen to me scratch this off the ticket.

[Chick McGee]

Okay? Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Imagine if you won 10 grand.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Now, Christy, the next room. And here we go. He brought a box in. She's handing the chick.

[Pat Godwin]

Women are so much better at this.

[Josh Arnold]

And Christy wrapped the gifts, and boy, she really just threw it at chick.

[Bob]

She really, really, really, really secret Christmas in just one motion. It was really, really Open the little one. Really something. Can I open this top?

[Chick McGee]

Nothing else to do. Oh.

[Bob]

Oh, this is a. This will go perfectly for here at work. It's a wireless charger desk. That's a new dad there with Washington.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Football team right on there and stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

See, your voice got real high and you repeated the gift.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. That means you'll never use it.

[Bob]

No, no, this is really nice.

[Chick McGee]

Now, what do you plug into that?

[Bob]

Well, I gotta. I'm gonna have to have the boys from electronics to come in here and hook it up.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sure.

[Chick McGee]

What is it? It's a charger for something.

[Christy Lee]

Wireless charger for his phone.

[Bob]

It's my phone. There's a phone charger in here. There's a. There's a pen.

[Josh Arnold]

Caddy, I don't mean to call you out here, but. But so far, every gift has vexed you.

[Bob]

What the hell's that all about?

[Pat Godwin]

There's a light coming out of it.

[Christy Lee]

You've never seen a wireless phone charger.

[Bob]

How does this work?

[Chick McGee]

Are those the things you take in case your phone runs out of batteries and.

[Christy Lee]

No, you just set it on there and it charges. You don't have to plug it in or anything.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, right on. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it's like a little caddy.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Ace Cosby]

You needed that the other day. You couldn't.

[Chick McGee]

What now?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you could have sat your phone on his charger when you couldn't find a cord.

[Chick McGee]

I wouldn't allow my phone to touch his charger. I don't want. Idiot. Why is Chick answering the phone?

[Pat Godwin]

He has a bagel.

[Josh Arnold]

Ordered us bagels. Trying to get the order right.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, guys, in the parking lot doesn't work. This.

[Josh Arnold]

We know that.

[Chick McGee]

I'm going to go. I'll do. I'll start. Start doing Wordle. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, I did find a forecast for the IU Notre Dame game, please, because that's a big game. That is a big game. And it looks like it's just gonna have the showers. The snow showers moving out this morning and cloudy skies and temperatures in the low to mid-30s, so.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, not too bad then.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, not too bad.

[Bob]

But I like to order doordash.

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Chick McGee]

Convenience. You're gonna get your bagel bagels. Okay, calm down.

[Bob]

Well, you didn't. You didn't buy bagels for anybody. There should be more than this.

Tom. Bagels at Christmas is a carol that was never written.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah. Oy vey.

[Bob]

I'm gonna open up the rest of my presents. And can I open up this.

[Chick McGee]

Remember we had our song about the Jewish Christmas and then we had the. The medley like Silverman. Silverman.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not aware.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think we probably were told never to play that again.

[Christy Lee]

Kind of got that.

[Bob]

Everybody every. I. Chrissy got me the Washington thing, obviously, and then she got everybody. Josh, you want to take this as a tea towel?

[Josh Arnold]

Tea towels. But the brand name looks to be Cox.

[Chick McGee]

Now, can you. Could you recognize your own if you saw a picture of it?

[Bob]

I've said that. I've said it many times. No, I don't think I could.

[Chick McGee]

Now, how many birds are on there? They're not just. Are all.

[Christy Lee]

They're all.

[Chick McGee]

You got about a bigger male birds of that ilk called cocks?

[Christy Lee]

I guess so.

[Chick McGee]

Roosters and what other kind of birds are they? I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

There's a peacock.

[Bob]

We got a Rhode island red cockatiel, a sulfur crested Cockatoo. A Jersey giant cockerel.

[Josh Arnold]

Christy, have you ever had a cockatoo?

[Christy Lee]

No, just one.

[Bob]

A Congo peacock. A cockatiel. An Andean cock of the rock. Oh, how about that one? Oh, my favorite woodcock right there.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, I got that hat. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Would your parents ever use the phrase. Oh, well, he thinks he's the. Of the walk.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, absolutely. You saw my new one, Maha Make America Hard Again. It's a whole new campaign I'm doing.

[Christy Lee]

So you guys all got one of those. And then there are some other people on the staff that got the pecker ones, which have birds that are classy.

[Chick McGee]

I see.

[Christy Lee]

Well, they also got balls, too.

[Chick McGee]

But see, by the way, the beauty of my maha hat is it's both Republicans and Democrats.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sure, yeah. Yeah. And it's purple. There you go. Blue and red make purple.

[Christy Lee]

I have a funny gift. I know.

[Chick McGee]

Are you still opening gifts?

[Christy Lee]

I had to go over and above.

[Bob]

Because, you know, it's Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

It's also a four hour show.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's why we're taking our time.

[Pat Godwin]

We're taking phone calls over here.

[Chick McGee]

Did I tell you I hate this show? Every year.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, we're doing it. We don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we can.

[Pat Godwin]

We love it, though.

[Christy Lee]

We don't have.

[Chick McGee]

Well, the audience doesn't.

[Bob]

Oh, it's a drone.

[Christy Lee]

No, not really. Read again.

[Bob]

It's a smartphone controlled paper airplane kit.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, the guy who said the audience loves this show doesn't work here. Next year we can cancel.

[Chick McGee]

What is that thing?

[Bob]

It's a smartphone controlled paper airplane kit.

[Christy Lee]

You know how much he loves to make paper airplanes.

[Bob]

And once again, Tom is befuddled by the President. What?

[Josh Arnold]

I, I, you know what?

[Bob]

I can't add anything to this description. A smartphone controlled. You okay so far?

[Chick McGee]

What the world needs now.

[Bob]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, the Nobel Peace Prize this year goes to.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, well, we hope everybody out there is enjoying our last Christmas show.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Believe me, if we don't have to do this next year, it'll be fine with me. Too much pressure.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Those are good gifts, Christy. Which one did I get? Did I get the pecker or the one you got?

[Christy Lee]

A.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, thank you very much.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I've been told. I don't know if somebody has a. I think Christopher has a pecker towel if you'd like to see it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, I have a cocktail, but I, I'm gonna have to.

[Bob]

You know, there's a whole industry for this. It's more of a rag Really?

[Chick McGee]

I suppose if someone gives you a pecker towel, you want the big one, like the one that. What was the. Remember the detergent that came with a towel?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, sure. Boxes of Breeze or something.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there we go. There's the pecker towel. I can see that's. And it's all. It's all. It's all woodpeckers.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, that's something. You could. You could frame that. Put it in your bathroom.

[Christy Lee]

And then along with the pecker towel, they got alpaca balls for their dryers.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I love the alpaca balls.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. So thanks to Tom Ester Line and his alpaca farm in Erie, Pennsylvania area, I was able to get balls for everybody. So they got balls and peckers for Chris.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, thank you, Christy, Why don't you grow up?

[Pat Godwin]

We know what you're doing.

[Josh Arnold]

We never act this way.

[Christy Lee]

Jess got. What did you get, Jess?

[Amy]

I got a mug that has boobies on it.

Wait a minute, your mic's not on.

[Christy Lee]

It's on.

[Amy]

Okay. My mug has boobies on it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, like a booby hatch or what do they call those?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, these are also all. All birds.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, they're all. They're all birds. And Jessica Osman got one, too, but hers was smashed in the mail, so we had to come up with an alternative for Jessica.

[Chick McGee]

That's very nice. Thank you very much, Christy Lee. Now, coming up, we actually have some news. We have more presence. We'll spread them out over the morning. I hope you take a break. We'll be okay. We're coming right back. This is the Bob and Tom show.

Tonight, a low of 23.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, the low of 23. But that'll be at like 3 in the morning. So they won't be playing football then. It'll be okay.

[Chick McGee]

You never know. There might be an ot.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Could happen.

[Christy Lee]

It'll be a great game.

[Chick McGee]

Some occasional snow flurries. This is the first meeting of these two teams in many years. Yes, IU and Notre Dame. One of the big games.

[Christy Lee]

Got the wings, got the shrimp cocktail ready to go.

[Ace Cosby]

Tonight on ABC and espn.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I had to go on a mission yesterday.

Four champagne vinegarette.

Kelly is going to the game. I had to go get electric socks.

[Bob]

Sure.

That's right.

[Bob]

Hunting socks.

[Josh Arnold]

That'll be nice. Yeah, those are. Those are really nice.

[Christy Lee]

Toasty warm.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I didn't. I didn't realize it was such a thing.

[Bob]

They've had those for.

[Christy Lee]

I have an electric vest in there.

[Bob]

I'm gonna say ever.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Bob]

Oh, God, they work. Electric socks, electric mittens, the whole thing.

[Christy Lee]

The only problem is when you piss.

[Josh Arnold]

Yourself or walk it off, go on.

[Pat Godwin]

A puddle, you're gonna.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, really? You get electric shock if you know.

[Bob]

It'S just a battery that. Never mind.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I know. I've got them charging right now. It was only two trips and two trips.

[Ace Cosby]

They don't take batteries. Just.

[Chick McGee]

You put them on a usb. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So everything's gone that way. Thank God. It's. It's. But yeah, I got them fine. Finally. Thank you very much to the gentle dicks that helped me out.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, how nice.

[Chick McGee]

There was an error made. I had to go back, of course.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, never mind.

[Chick McGee]

I had to go to.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't get the Christmas card.

[Chick McGee]

I had to go to. I had to go to a different county. It was very complicated. No, I think we have another guest on the big screen. I'm not sure who this is. Oh, there we go.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, guys.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey.

[Amy]

It's your favorite lesbian plumber. Turd Ranch. Tina.

[Bob]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Turd wrench. Tina. I like. I like your TWT house hat.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Chick McGee]

That's nice.

[Bob]

Thanks.

[Amy]

I. I've prepared my. My gift to you this year is the gift of song.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, how nice.

[Amy]

So I prepared a song for you guys today. On the first day of Christmas, my contractor gave to me a pair of custom Nipple coupling.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, nice.

[Amy]

On the second day of Christmas, my contractor gave to turd doves. Do you guys know what a turd dove is?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't.

[Amy]

A turd dove is when the guy before you takes the toilet tissue and creates a little nest on the top of the mound in the porta john so that when you go in there and you drop your deuce, there's no blue water splashback on your butt crack. It's really the highest form of respect on the job site.

[Chick McGee]

That is thoughtful. A turd dove.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Amy]

A turd dove.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, good to know. Excuse me.

[Amy]

On the third day of Christmas, my contractor gave to me 30 red garter bucks and a pair of nipple couplings. Have you guys all been to the Red Garter before? It's a Tata Bar. Yeah, my foreman on that Eagle Valley job, his ex old lady worked half shifts Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Sunday as a waitress. Did you know they had waitresses at Tata Bar?

[Chick McGee]

I did not know that.

[Bob]

Good.

[Chick McGee]

They did.

[Amy]

It's the original pyramid scheme. Really? Anyway, if you get there before 11am you can get the prime rib on the buffet and in the break room. You gotta bring your own Lysol.

[Bob]

Okay.

[Amy]

On the fourth day of Christmas, my contractor gave to me four calling cards for the county lock. A phone tree.

[Bob]

How nice.

[Amy]

My cousin Shannon's at the new detention center over there on the east side. The family's gonna go sing outside her window on Christmas Eve. And then we're gonna walk across the street to the closed down Long John Silver parking lot because that's where the taco trailer is parked.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, nice.

[Amy]

They do a live nativity right there on the black top from. From 5 to 8pm and then the donkey and sheep tacos start at 8:05.

[Bob]

Okay.

[Amy]

Hey, merry Christmas. Bang your wife. So I don't have to.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. Thank you. That's a fine taco truck. Wow.

[Bob]

Nothing goes to waste over there, right?

[Josh Arnold]

They respect their kill.

[Bob]

That's right.

[Christy Lee]

They honor and then eat.

[Chick McGee]

I. I guess you told a great story. I guess maybe you probably don't want to tell it again. Josh. About. Well, just without giving too much detail about using one of those. Those phones in a jail situation where. Where there's the glass and you see it in movies all the time. The guy goes to the jail, then the attorney or whatever, or the perp's wife to go talk to him and he's on the phone.

[Josh Arnold]

There was a tougher time when one of my brothers was going through a few things and he was on the other side of that glass, and my parents went to visit him. It was only for a short time that he was there, but my parents went to visit him. And the first thing my dad said after he picked up the phone was, I've always wanted to do this.

[Chick McGee]

That is so natural, because it is kind of one of those things you've seen. You've seen it a hundred times in a movie, but you've never done it.

[Josh Arnold]

My brother was like, thanks, dad. I'm glad you're getting something.

[Bob]

Bucket list for you. Glad I can make this come true for you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you've been there, too.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, but in my situation, it wasn't the phone. It was like a video camera. And you would sit in front of, like, a. Like a video screen and the person. Yeah, they were Errol Morris style. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh.

[Chick McGee]

So technology is advanced in the prison phone trace.

[Bob]

I wasn't going to do that, but since we're down here in the Valley.

[Jason]

Ready?

[Bob]

Dear Chick, I just heard your hanging kitten story.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, oh, is this worse?

[Bob]

I bought my nieces a pygmy goat for Christmas a few years ago.

[Chick McGee]

It better be alive.

[Bob]

When their mom left for work, she tied it to the dog leaves on the upper landing of the home.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Bob]

Came home.

[Chick McGee]

Who gave you that letter to read?

[Bob]

Came home after work. I got it right off my email. Came at home after work to the goat hanging dead from trying to jump off the upper level.

[Christy Lee]

Who leaves a pygmy goat inside the house?

[Bob]

And why did he leave it inside the house?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob]

Maybe they forgot to move it outside.

[Chick McGee]

What was on the floor below the.

[Bob]

I'm sure it's last movement.

[Chick McGee]

Beethoven's last movement. Okay.

[Bob]

Is there anything funnier than those goats screaming? Yeah, have you seen that on video?

[Josh Arnold]

Really good jokes out there.

[Chick McGee]

There are many good jokes far funnier than that. I. I couldn't agree more.

[Bob]

Oh, God, I've never heard.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now, Christy was kind enough to. To give us all a series of towels. And these are the kind of things you'd see framed in a bathroom. They're what, like a foot and a half by three feet?

[Christy Lee]

And they're called a tea towel.

[Chick McGee]

And like, and they have beautiful drawings of birds on them.

[Bob]

There's the kitchen towels.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Tea towel, bathroom.

[Josh Arnold]

No, that was interesting. These are the kind of things you'd see framed in a bathroom.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You don't think so?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't see a lot of framed towels.

[Chick McGee]

We're not people to really enjoy the beautiful drawings.

[Bob]

I guess you've never I. It's not. It hasn't hit me till this year how unconnected and everything that we've talked about this morning, you've. You are mystified by. And you couldn't. You couldn't go by hunting.

[Chick McGee]

You guys live a much different life.

[Christy Lee]

But you know what? Actually, that would be kind of cool. Framed. Now that. Yeah, it's beautiful.

[Chick McGee]

They're beautiful. They're beautiful drawings.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, Tom, you should frame yours.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you get. You.

[Chick McGee]

Where's mine?

[Christy Lee]

It's inside your. I wrapped it inside the box.

[Bob]

It's inside the box. You're gonna have to unwrap something.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, I'll do it in a minute. Pat, is yours unwrapped? Can you hold it up?

[Pat Godwin]

I can indeed.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Now, which one do you. Is that the. Is that the.

[Bob]

That's the.

[Christy Lee]

Because you're all.

[Chick McGee]

To me now. There's, you know, has the word cox, but then it's got beautiful drawings.

[Bob]

Yeah, that would be beautiful.

[Chick McGee]

Variety of roosters and peacocks framed.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Cool. In the kitchen.

[Chick McGee]

It'd be fun. It'd be fun to have framed in the bathroom.

[Bob]

Something else.

[Josh Arnold]

You really see the fold seams. That would be nice.

[Chick McGee]

You could even have. You could even put that on the door of a bathroom of a restaurant so they know which one was the menu. Men's room.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. And then.

[Chick McGee]

And then for the ladies, you have to have a kitchen towel labeled vaginas.

[Josh Arnold]

Just vagina.

[Pat Godwin]

But there's no subtlety at all.

[Chick McGee]

Just still birds. No, it would be clams. There you go. But now, did you get Josh a cocktow?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, she said she did.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Enough. You don't use your socks anymore. I know. Avid listeners going, he's a T shirt guy. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

People across America know that. Isn't that awful?

[Chick McGee]

Coming up, we're gonna open more presents. We do have. I've got to dig up this story about how it's safe to go to the gym and not get chlamydia. It's one of those stupid Internet things that's out there. We do actually have chickens in the news, funny enough.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we do.

[Chick McGee]

And how about this? A floor made of bones. That's creepy.

[Christy Lee]

That's very creepy.

[Josh Arnold]

Scary, hard to mop.

[Chick McGee]

It sounds like something from a Stephen King novel that I walked into the room and the floor was made of bones. We're coming right back. It's the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Even though we're not too much to look at. You can also watch the show on our YouTube channel.

[Chick McGee]

The Polar Ice Room. Whatever. I don't. I can't just pick everything up out of my.

[Bob]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. It's our annual last show of the year, our gift exchange. And I'm. I'm reminded of when we come back from vacation on January 6th, after you've enjoyed a couple of weeks. The best of the Bob and Tom Show. Some you might have missed you. And then we come back on that Monday the 6th, and it's always. What do you think? Half hour, 45 minutes before we want to go back on vacation. Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Our vacations. Take it out.

[Bob]

Well, they're brutal for you. Never stop.

[Christy Lee]

Why don't you just stay home, people?

[Bob]

Put your feet up.

[Christy Lee]

Staycation, man.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob]

A day with me would drive you out of your tree. Other than it being me, I mean, obviously.

[Chick McGee]

What do you mean?

[Bob]

You watch a documentary like with. I watch some things. I make some calls, I organize things.

[Chick McGee]

I. I've got to get a list. I haven't really watched any t in the last six months.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, for God's sake. What do you do?

[Chick McGee]

I started to watch that one show, the Monkey. Bad monkey, Bad monkey. And then that got really boring and then I quit. So that's it.

[Pat Godwin]

Got picked up for season two just yesterday.

[Christy Lee]

I liked Bad Monkey.

[Chick McGee]

I liked it too. Yeah, that got so slow.

[Josh Arnold]

I just don't watch any.

[Bob]

I can't recommend a show higher than I do Travelers. It's on Netflix. It's from Canada. It stars the guy who played Will on Will and Grace, Eric McCormick. He plays in FBI.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I'd like to see that. I need to start watching.

[Bob]

They travel from the future to save a future world. And it's one.

[Christy Lee]

Tom won't like that.

[Bob]

No, he won't like it, but don't.

[Chick McGee]

Recommend it for me.

[Bob]

I'm recommending it for everyone else. I recommend Wyatt Earp for you.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm surprised you started Lioness.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Kelly watches that. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that about Charlie Brown's friend?

[Ace Cosby]

No, it's a kind of a spy.

[Chick McGee]

It's a super violent.

[Ace Cosby]

It's action packed.

[Chick McGee]

Violent? Yeah. Very, very, very.

[Bob]

Well, Linus, that's one of those things.

[Chick McGee]

Where, you know, where they.

[Bob]

Nicole Kidman, Hard pass.

[Christy Lee]

I'm with you.

[Ace Cosby]

No, the star is Zoe.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah, that Chanel.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Let me tell you about the show I'm watching is the new. Let me tell you about this dream I had.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay?

[Josh Arnold]

I want to walk away no matter what.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you don't want to talk to that person.

[Josh Arnold]

I hate. Have you seen this? Have you watched that?

[Chick McGee]

But no, you got. You gotta. It's. There's so much out there.

[Josh Arnold]

It's hard.

[Chick McGee]

Hard to. There's no commonality.

[Josh Arnold]

Exactly. So why talk about it?

[Chick McGee]

I'm asking. I did watch whatever you want.

[Bob]

What's Linus on Paramount plus.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, for God. This is. This is so boring.

[Chick McGee]

What do you know?

[Ace Cosby]

Don't you like to be exposed to new things? You know, if I say, hey, Josh, have you heard a new breaking Benjamin?

[Bob]

Oh, lioness.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, lioness.

[Josh Arnold]

But I would say. Of course.

[Bob]

I thought you were saying lioness.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, Christy Lee over there. There at the. At the sign lacking.

[Josh Arnold]

We all watch shows.

[Chick McGee]

News desk, you've made your point four times. And it's more.

[Bob]

You know what else that reminds me of? Have you ever seen Josh. Ever seen love? Actually, have you ever seen that, man?

[Pat Godwin]

That's a great.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, it's time now before. There we go. I've been waiting for this moment. We have.

[Josh Arnold]

That's Jason.

[Chick McGee]

I know. I know that. What is that?

[Christy Lee]

What is Jason doing?

[Bob]

He's got to play bass.

[Chick McGee]

No, but they're. Turn around. Okay. He's got on a necklace of light bulbs.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

It's very nice, very festive, and he's got a base. I did not know that you played bass. And you and Pat must have worked something very show before.

[Bob]

Of course, everything's brand new to Tom. He's like a newborn baby about every 10 minutes.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, what's this? What's this song?

[Pat Godwin]

We had a request yesterday for a song from my old Christmas album, Reindeer Games, that somebody bought for 25 cents at Goodwill, and I didn't even remember. It's called Christmas in Bed. So I went back and I learned it, and we're ready to go. I'm beefing it up with some bass.

[Bob]

Nice, because it's a blues song.

[Josh Arnold]

Smoke and mirrors.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Christy, if you could play along and just all you'll. I'm flirting with you there. Andy isn't in the picture. Okay?

[Bob]

This is.

[Bob]

Should we contact the bomb disposal unit or anything like that? Because I'm getting ready to open Ace's present. Is that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh. Oh, that's nice.

[Bob]

Got me a present. I'm not sure what it is.

[Chick McGee]

Let's see. Let's hold up the box so I can see it.

[Christy Lee]

A very nice box.

[Chick McGee]

It's about the size of a cigar box, as they would say back in the day.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, yes.

[Christy Lee]

Or a Whitman sampler.

[Bob]

Box was. Box was A$20.25. Yeah. Wow. When whole hog, huh? All right.

[Chick McGee]

I know.

[Bob]

Well, look. Let's see what. Oh, my God. It's a bomb. No, it's a. It's a book. You are looking. You are looking live. That's what Brett Musburger used to say every Sunday on the CBS NFL Today. It's a book about.

[Christy Lee]

That's cool.

[Bob]

The NFL pregame show. Thank you. That's very cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Bob]

Remember Phyllis George, Irv Cross, Jimmy. Jimmy the Greek.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Bob]

Musper, I think came up with. You are looking live. I don't know if any. I don't know. I don't think anybody else uses it now.

[Chick McGee]

And the Greek was the first one to kind of hint at the spread. Kind of, sort of.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Bob]

They didn't like doing that. Yes. He would pick which team would win, but didn't say anything about the spread.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Those days are gone.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Yes. Now we're. Everyone. Yeah. Now everyone mentioned spread. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

Now, Josh, your gift. I hope you don't have that.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

But it was inspired by your home decor.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, yes. And the wrapping paper says meowy Christmas and it has kittens on it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I love that. Ace is a cat. Owner.

[Christy Lee]

As is Josh's cat.

[Chick McGee]

Now, your cat is named Mandu Catman.

[Josh Arnold]

Do I do not have this.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, cool.

[Josh Arnold]

And it is perfect for my home decor. As you guys know, I do not have a kitchen table. I have a booth.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Ace Cosby]

Like a diner.

[Josh Arnold]

A diner's booth. And Ace got me a diners. A mini jukebox that I can put on the booth, and it functions.

[Christy Lee]

That's so cute.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, so it's like a little. Is it like a radio?

[Bob]

Like a program?

[Ace Cosby]

You can program the name tags to what you're playing?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Josh Arnold]

That's awesome.

[Pat Godwin]

That's awesome.

[Bob]

That's a little more expensive than my book, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I have no doubt.

[Bob]

Oh, yeah. But again, what do you think? I'm thinking that's 39.49.95.

[Josh Arnold]

You got a whole reflection of treatment.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what I mean?

[Bob]

What? Maybe.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe it's an appreciation of the Ace Cosby joke of the day, reflected in this case with a lot of laughter coming from this side of the room.

[Josh Arnold]

He and I will text.

[Bob]

Hang on a second. You didn't pay full price. It says 29.95 for the book as well. Says.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Bob]

Oh, 30 bucks for a book.

[Ace Cosby]

Add the box.

[Bob]

Come on. Yeah, a box with a buck and a quarter. So we're up over 30 bucks right there.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, thank you very much, man.

[Ace Cosby]

Yours is on the. Also has cat wrapping paper. All right, your left next to the wall. Oh, and to your right.

[Bob]

Right, right. I don't know what I'm doing. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

Cat wrapping.

[Chick McGee]

Cat wrapping. Oh, back there. Thank you, Ace. I didn't see it.

[Ace Cosby]

Now, you constantly complained about the.

[Chick McGee]

You. Your.

[Ace Cosby]

Your.

[Josh Arnold]

I like the beginning of this.

[Chick McGee]

This is going. It's a long list of complaints. Okay. I do not have a cat.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, of all the. The change you have around your house, and I got you something that keep track of that change.

[Chick McGee]

A digital coin counting bank.

[Ace Cosby]

So you. Oh, I've got 200 bucks in there.

[Pat Godwin]

So that'll look nice in the kitchen.

[Bob]

So once again, that seems a little more expensive.

[Chick McGee]

This is great. So this is.

[Bob]

I.

[Ace Cosby]

And you can keep it here. So when you get back from lunch or something, you put. You know.

[Bob]

Yeah, that's really.

[Chick McGee]

Because. Because I famously, when I moved, I. I broke my jar full of coins.

[Bob]

And you had a jar full of coins stolen.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

Press a button. You know how much is in there?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look at that.

[Bob]

That's cool.

[Chick McGee]

So you got a little. Your little glass. That's very nice, Ace. Very thoughtful.

[Bob]

Is there a price tag on the back of that?

[Josh Arnold]

It is. You know, it makes sense that Ace would gift somebody something now. Now, let you count your pennies.

[Ace Cosby]

Christie's gifts is something she also enjoys.

[Christy Lee]

It says Holiday Scare King, which I love already.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that's the Jack Skellington.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Character there. Of course Christy enjoys it. It's already buzzing.

[Christy Lee]

It's not a book.

[Bob]

Oh, well, whatever it is, I'm sure it's 10 to 15 more than he spent on me. I. I know that.

[Josh Arnold]

There's no doubt about that. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's a pricey item.

[Chick McGee]

What is he, Chris?

[Christy Lee]

An electric wine set? Yeah.

[Bob]

Oh, my God. Well, now, that's 70 bucks right there.

[Chick McGee]

Electric what?

[Josh Arnold]

Wine set.

[Christy Lee]

It'll open your bottle of wine, and then it's got a stoppers, and it's.

[Chick McGee]

Very nice with electricity. It opens the wine.

[Bob]

Your favorite alcoholic at Christmas. Once again, Tom is buffoon by a.

[Chick McGee]

I've never seen this. So it's like. It's like a sleeve that goes over the top of the wine bottle.

[Bob]

What's going on, Christy?

[Josh Arnold]

Will that fit over the top the box?

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, Tom.

[Ace Cosby]

Find out tonight.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, Tom. You put this part over the wine bottle, and you hit a button and it pulls the cork out.

[Ace Cosby]

Now, Pat's gift was a.

[Pat Godwin]

Look at this, everybody.

[Ace Cosby]

Classic. Had to. Had to find that.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, look, it's John Denver.

[Ace Cosby]

John Denver concert hat.

[Bob]

Last. A cheaper gift than mine. I feel better now.

[Josh Arnold]

A John Denver concert.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I. I don't think so. That's probably. You had to get that price is right back.

[Pat Godwin]

45, 82.

[Bob]

No way. That's like five bucks. There's no way.

[Chick McGee]

That's a nice hat.

[Josh Arnold]

You can tell it's official. It still has metals shavings on it.

[Bob]

From John Denver's plane.

[Chick McGee]

Smells very funny.

[Bob]

Yes, he does. He was once considered America's sweetheart. Died in a plane crash. Are you having a good day?

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Very thoughtful gifts. You listen very.

[Chick McGee]

These are great, Ace. Thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Cool. This is cool. So you put your money in, it tells you.

[Bob]

Oh, he's still on his gift.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it's great.

[Chick McGee]

He said, I don't have a chore. I don't have a chore. Like reading a book about Jimmy the Greek.

[Bob]

It just. I bet the book's not even complete, either.

[Chick McGee]

I bet the Jimmy the Greek part. I bet they leave out a lot of that Jimmy the Greek, Especially toward the end.

[Bob]

You must have a. Every day is. Everything's brand new for you, isn't it, Tom? Like you're seeing everything for the first time.

[Chick McGee]

That's great, isn't it?

[Ace Cosby]

Was there a competing pregame show back then?

[Bob]

I'm sure there was. NBC. What's his face? Gumball was on NBC's Tom, would you like a second?

[Josh Arnold]

Second gift?

[Bob]

Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. This is, it's not wrapped and.

[Bob]

Well, how about if you, I give you a second gift and how about I just get up and get in the car and go home? Merry Christmas, everybody.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob]

Well, there you go.

[Chick McGee]

It is a.

[Bob]

Another thing that he's mystified by. I hope.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I like this now.

[Josh Arnold]

I, I, one year I got you a bunch of canned air so that you could spray your keyboard.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

I was going to do that again this year.

[Bob]

And even though we wanted to circle up and beat you because you gave him the candle, he loved it.

[Josh Arnold]

And now I've got him one instead of getting him candy.

[Chick McGee]

It's a rechargeable.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a rechargeable electronic keyboard duster.

[Bob]

Is that right? Well, that's a can.

[Chick McGee]

There is something I really like.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

If I want to clean up. Clean up or just have that.

[Bob]

If one of us were doing that to him and his headphones. Can you imagine that in the wind?

[Chick McGee]

Look. Oh, wait a minute.

[Christy Lee]

Well, it looks just the same.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God. I feel like I'm just. Little huffing action. What's in this stuff? So this is the, this is like a rechargeable, one of these. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Charge that up and it's good to go forever.

[Chick McGee]

Great. Although I can have a nice clean area. I don't know how much change I've got.

[Christy Lee]

It'll take him six years to figure out how to charge it.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I'm actually going to do it for him and have it just there.

[Chick McGee]

I, I, I figured out how to charge this. The electric socks yesterday afternoon.

[Bob]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

After a trip back to Dick's.

[Bob]

Wait, why'd you have to go back?

[Chick McGee]

Because I didn't realize that the charger thing was on the side and, and the, the input on the top was a different thing. A different, you know, cable, a different inputs thing.

[Josh Arnold]

It was a misunderstanding.

[Chick McGee]

So I went back there and I said, hey, this has got the wrong cord. He goes, flip. Oh, no, it goes here. Sorry. I'm an idiot. Idiot. Oh, why would someone hand me.

[Christy Lee]

Why would you not look at the manual?

[Chick McGee]

I was. Man, oh, man, I hate manuals. As Chick McGee. As Chick McGee once said, that's just some guy's opinion.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Then I went online.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And now virtually all manuals now are online.

[Christy Lee]

That's true.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Bob]

No, virtual. All manuals are online. Not virtually.

[Christy Lee]

Where's your car manual?

[Chick McGee]

I have no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you guys don't keep that in your glove compartment?

[Chick McGee]

It's probably in there. I've never looked at it.

[Bob]

He keeps asking me every day, how did you sync your phone to open your car up? I have no idea. It just happened. I'm not telling him because it's. I don't want to sit in the car with him half an hour.

[Chick McGee]

The other day.

[Bob]

Can you imagine?

[Chick McGee]

The other day, I had to put. I had to put that. What's that stuff called? Windshield. Windshield washer fluid.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. In your car.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. So I needed to figure out how to open up the hood. Hood.

[Christy Lee]

Isn't there a little thing that you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but, you know, these cars, they hide them. And.

[Bob]

That'S the most amazing thing about this, is, like, he thinks someone's doing it on purpose.

[Chick McGee]

Then you've got to find it. It opens up, like, an inch. Then you got to find. Then you got to figure out where the thing is underneath. And they put that God knows where as well. And then there are all these places you can put stuff in there. You don't want to put it where the transmission fluid goes.

[Josh Arnold]

I like to put it where it's clearly marked.

[Bob]

And there's a little. There's a little cartoon of a windshield.

[Chick McGee]

Do you know why they do that?

[Bob]

Because people put it in the oil before.

[Chick McGee]

Because people like me have put it where the oil goes. Hey, your car's running a little sluggish. Yeah, well, that's because I have my oils clean.

[Bob]

I can't help. I can't help but notice you got bubbles come out of your tailpipe.

[Chick McGee]

But the larger, larger point here is you just Google it, and there's some guy going, hey, sure you got this car. Here's how you do it. It's fantastic.

[Josh Arnold]

What color do you go with the windshield wiper?

[Chick McGee]

I go blue.

[Bob]

Oh, I'm gonna blow your mind how. You should try purple.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I like purple.

[Bob]

Purple is good.

[Chick McGee]

Is it all the same, or is that a different formula?

[Bob]

Purple is a little bit more. I don't want to reveal anything, but it's a trade secret. I'm sure you're not supposed to let.

[Chick McGee]

Your dogs near it, right?

[Bob]

No, no, they. It tastes sweet to some dogs, and it's bad.

[Christy Lee]

Bat. Nanny. Freeze.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Okay, good.

[Bob]

Hey, you know how do you. You know how you manufacture? That's not right. You know how you make antifreeze? Don't you hide her nightgown. That's not right at all. Manufacturing.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, this is nice, Josh. So I can.

[Bob]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

This is cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, good. Yeah, you're welcome.

[Chick McGee]

And I got a nice letter here. Oh, we, we still encourage those that have a moment to.

[Bob]

Isn't an animal being killed at Christmas?

[Chick McGee]

No, I once again trying to get away from that sad story.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

This comes to us from Captain Ron.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Captain Ron.

[Chick McGee]

One of our, one of our.

[Bob]

Sit up front with Captain Ron.

[Chick McGee]

Kurt Russell, most loyal, most loyal writers. And he has the, the heading. This is the Christmas promo code. This should be a song, Pat.

[Pat Godwin]

Christmas promo code.

[Chick McGee]

Christmas, Christmas promo code. He goes. I got a hug from my wife when she opened up her earrings from I hate Stevenson singer. I'd already bought my family all Raycon everyday headphones. Best of all, I got a box of Omaha steaks for my brother and sister in law. It was her birthday yesterday, so. Isn't that nice?

[Christy Lee]

He's like our listener of the year.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Thank you, Captain Ron. And I like this idea of doing a song of all the promo codes. Like there's a lot and there are a handful of them. Mostly Tom or bt, right? Whatever it is.

[Bob]

Yeah. Ego.

[Chick McGee]

Bts a couple there. Wasn't there one that was chick at one point?

[Bob]

Nope. Never, never, never. Probably be Ace before it'd be a chick.

[Chick McGee]

That'd be a good promo code.

[Bob]

Would it? Would it be a good promo code? Every day you eat my heart.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, I'm so sorry. Have we completed our sports broadcast?

[Bob]

Yes, we have. All wrapped up.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, thank you for. Thank you very much. Now it's time to head over to the Silac Insurance news desk starring Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

New dating.

[Bob]

Oh, no, it's not. Wait a minute. Ladies and gentlemen, we have Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

I appreciate that.

[Bob]

Correct me if I'm wrong, Josh, but weren't you involved in a gift exchange at one point on one of the many movie sets you were on?

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely, man.

[Bob]

That's a great story. Would you mind sharing that with us?

[Josh Arnold]

I'd love to. We were celebrating. We just wrapped. It was the final day of shooting.

[Chick McGee]

On, I think it was called, of the same gender.

[Josh Arnold]

That's exactly right.

[Bob]

So you've heard the story. It's amazing.

[Chick McGee]

Am I ruining it?

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So it's an all male cast.

[Josh Arnold]

A lot of stories from that, Seth. And this one just happened to. Well, I, I was opening up a gift.

[Bob]

I'm just laughing because I know what's coming.

[Josh Arnold]

I know what's coming. I opened it up and my Gosh, if it wasn't a new. A new five iron.

[Bob]

A five iron.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. What the hell? I don't play golf here. And Stephen across the way, because I know that wasn't for Josh. That. That was Matt for. For Jim. Jim, as I've opened the wrong.

[Bob]

Everybody, you got the wrong gift.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob]

He'll be back.

[Christy Lee]

There's a. There's a gift that has your name on it.

[Josh Arnold]

There sure is. Yeah. Let me double check. J, O. S. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Rip that open.

[Bob]

This might be. This might be a story for another talk show.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

What is in there?

[Josh Arnold]

The towel, of course.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes. Once again, this is the beautiful depictions of drawings. Birds.

[Josh Arnold]

What I use to wipe my penis. And then this.

[Bob]

That looks like an old box. You just went out in the garage, found boxes.

[Christy Lee]

I have a lot of old boxes.

[Ace Cosby]

I paid for yours.

[Bob]

That's an old box.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody, everybody, calm down. I don't care what A said, but I bet I know what it was.

[Bob]

No, he said he paid for my box. I don't have an old box.

[Chick McGee]

Old boxes.

[Josh Arnold]

But we don't want to hear about your life.

[Bob]

Anyway.

[Josh Arnold]

A book nook. Reading Valet.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I hope there's a tiny man in here.

[Chick McGee]

Josh, you're on page 82.

[Bob]

Josh, I get you a book.

[Chick McGee]

So what's in there?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm getting it out.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. What's Josh's.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, look at this.

[Chick McGee]

It's wrapped in paper.

[Bob]

That certainly is a lot of paper.

[Josh Arnold]

Look at this. So what happens here is the book can sit right here. You have a coffee mug. Like, the book can be, like, open when I get up to.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes.

[Christy Lee]

Valet.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Seriously, you can. You could lie in your bed seeing this and prop. Prop a book up.

[Josh Arnold]

You see, you actually can kind of rest the book open on this or even your phone.

[Chick McGee]

Say you were watching a video.

[Bob]

That's the world's largest bookmark, is what that is.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

That's wonderful.

[Josh Arnold]

Anyway, I can put my glasses there. My coffee mug.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's a great scene in the book going all the way, where Dan Wakefield, in shop class in high school, will make something like that so he can masturbate so it'll hold those magazines. Christy, did you get the idea from Dan?

[Josh Arnold]

Thank you very much, Christy. Lovely.

[Christy Lee]

You're welcome. I thought you could use that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

It's because Josh reads books.

[Bob]

I wonder if that costs more than my paper airplane Everything probably did.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

It did not. Because I got you the charger, too. Make up for it. So it. Everybody was.

[Bob]

Oh, no, that's fine.

[Chick McGee]

Very thoughtful message.

[Bob]

Message loud.

[Chick McGee]

And we have more coming. We have time for one quick news story since we haven't had any news at all from the Silac Insurance news desk. Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

New data from finder.com reveals just how much Americans will spend on unwanted gifts this year.

[Bob]

I got about $38, give or take a buck.

[Christy Lee]

According to the site, Americans are expected to spend $10.1 billion on unwanted gifts. Last year, that figure was 9.1 billion. We're up a bill. The average cost of an unwanted gift is estimated to be $72, up from 66 last year. About half of American adults will get an unwanted gift this year. The most unwanted items are paper airplanes.

[Bob]

And books about the NFL pregame show.

[Christy Lee]

I knew this was going to happen. Clothing and accessories.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I did see a thing that for, especially for kids, clothing is, with the exception, I think, of sports jerseys. The number one thing kids don't wear want.

[Christy Lee]

Followed by household items like tea towels, cosmetics, and fragrances.

[Chick McGee]

I don't buy that.

[Christy Lee]

Technology and food and drink. What the hell's left?

[Chick McGee]

I mean, I know my little girls sent me their. I've got all these Christmas lists and cosmetics all over the place there. And technology, of course.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And food. I mean, everything we've given each other is on.

[Christy Lee]

On this list.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I gave you guys all those delightful pot pies. Oh, you didn't know that?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Thank you very much. Yeah, I love those.

[Chick McGee]

They're in the freezer.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll be enjoying those.

[Christy Lee]

As for what happens to all those unwanted gifts, nearly 40% of people will be re gifting.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, a hint about re gifting.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Make sure that you take all of the cards. Etc out. A friend of mine got a gift receipt recently. Last year.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And when he opened it up, the. The card to the original person was still fallen down.

[Christy Lee]

That's embarrassing.

[Ace Cosby]

And make sure if it's a book, it's not personalized or autographed.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I mean. Two Ace. This is 2A. Signed Brent Musburger.

[Bob]

Two Ace. I love you, Phyllis George. What the hell's that all about?

[Josh Arnold]

I'll never forget that night.

[Christy Lee]

Phyllis George 35 said they intend to keep them. 30% will exchange. 25 will. 25% sell their gifts. Oh, God.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, is there a big. I guess. Where do you go? Where do you go? Like to ebay or Etsy or whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Mercari or any of those places. Chick, is that book indeed autographed?

[Bob]

No, I just.

[Ace Cosby]

No, there might Be some money in one of the pages.

[Chick McGee]

No $2 bill?

[Bob]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing's better than a $2 bill as a bookmark.

[Bob]

Dumb book. Cool.

[Josh Arnold]

A $5 bill would be better.

[Chick McGee]

This says 10% of the people will give the gift back.

[Christy Lee]

That's crazy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, here. No, thanks. I won't use this.

[Chick McGee]

That's awkward.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's a bold move.

[Christy Lee]

That's a. Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. What was the average amount of money spent on a kid?

[Bob]

$10 billion.

[Christy Lee]

I don't have on the kid. It said $72 on a gift. Unwanted gift.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I see. Is there a thing for unwanted children? Is there like, is that lower?

[Bob]

Do you do the, do you do the math in your head trying to figure out who, you know, you spent more money than you got?

[Christy Lee]

I keep a running tab on my kids. So everybody gets like, keep it even.

[Chick McGee]

I'll tell you what you can do.

[Bob]

I mean, you gave me, you know, 50 bucks worth of gifts, so I don't want to go over that to give you, you know. Oh, keep it even.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't do that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, what you want to do is you want to keep it special, you want to keep it thoughtful. This is where my buddy Steven Singer comes [e-mail]. what a segue. How about the Anita diamond stud earrings? Steven Singer has more diamond stud earrings than any jeweler out there. Christy, you've got your bracelet on. Don't you mind?

[Christy Lee]

[Chick McGee]

That is gorgeous. And that is quite a value. Look at the At Last bracelet by going to ihatestevensinger.com a couple quick things. Get the order in before 2:00 Eastern Time today and it is out the door today. And by the way, if you've got some diamond stud earrings you got last year, you want to upgrade those for bigger ones.

I hate. Stevensinger.com is the place coming up. We have more joyful things in the news. One of my favorite stories of the year coming up. It's about a lunchbox. Did you have a favorite lunchbox as a kid?

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Josh Arnold over there at the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. Drinking some coffee. Robust, I'm guessing this morning, but unassuming. Yeah. There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

I love that kind of talk. Josh Robinson. Robust but unassuming. What would that mean? If your coffee is assuming it's assuming you're here to drink it. What a stupid. That. All that language.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that stuff so much.

[Chick McGee]

Robust with hints of. Hints of. Hints of alcoholism. That's what this guy. Welcome back to the Babaton program. It's great to be here. That's Christy Lee. She's over there in the velvet green. Beautiful. What is that? Is that a zip up thing? What is that?

[Christy Lee]

No, it's a button up shirt. It's the only holiday.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. It's very nice. Very nice.

[Bob]

I just found a sports story that I. When I saw this, I said, Tom will love this story.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I must hear it.

[Bob]

And I thought it was hack and.

[Chick McGee]

Cliche, but no wonder. All of it.

[Bob]

There you go. There's a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins. His Name's Anthony Walker Jr. He got all of his teammates for Christmas. He got them their high school jerseys with their numbers and names on them.

[Christy Lee]

That's cool.

[Chick McGee]

That's great.

[Christy Lee]

That is great.

[Chick McGee]

I guess.

[Bob]

But it was really. It was a really cool video. I did see the video. That's high funny out about it.

[Chick McGee]

Let me ask you this. What do you.

[Bob]

Let me ask you this. Go ahead. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Don't let me ask you this.

[Bob]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Which is what you're doing.

[Bob]

Well, but you're. I'm going to answer it.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway, let me fill. This is called filler. Allow me. What number did you wear in High School?

[Bob]

74.

[Chick McGee]

Every year in your program?

[Bob]

Number one in your heart? No, senior year. I didn't really have a. I can't remember what I wore before then. Probably 79 or something, but I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Benchwarmer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, is that true?

[Bob]

Do. What?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, you didn't hear that.

[Bob]

I was a bench warmer. Absolutely. I was second string on the state high school football champions. I was second string. So kill me.

[Josh Arnold]

I couldn't have done without you.

[Chick McGee]

But you did have a. I was.

[Bob]

In charge of team morale. Yes. I entertained on the bus. What I did score two point extra point. Yes, I did.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Bob]

And my head's still ringing. Many reasons. I wasn't a running back.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Bob]

Have I done it again? We're here. Hi.

[Josh Arnold]

I know you're good, man.

[Bob]

Back to you, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

No, I think, I think it's great. I think that. I think that's a cool gift, getting everybody their high school jerseys.

[Bob]

That's why I told you you have.

[Christy Lee]

Your high school jersey.

[Bob]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

That's it. That's.

[Bob]

I have a jacket.

[Josh Arnold]

You have your hand raised.

[Bob]

Yes. Tom. Yeah. Ace.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's Ace. I'm Tom.

[Ace Cosby]

Is it for the current size or what they were in high school?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

That. That question was better than I thought.

[Chick McGee]

It was gonna be.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, you know, like Al Bundy used to put his jersey on it.

[Bob]

Well, in the video, I did see a couple of guys put the jersey on. It looked like it fit. That's the best I can do for you, Ace. Man, oh man, I am not going to miss this for two weeks, I can tell you that. And this is not a joke, people. Okay? This is not a joke.

[Chick McGee]

Let's move forward. We have a couple more sports stories.

[Bob]

Breckenridge Ski Resort.

[Josh Arnold]

You ever been there, Tom?

[Bob]

As once again.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, of course. Very, very high.

[Josh Arnold]

You were very high when you were there.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's way up there.

[Bob]

They again reclaim the world record for the longest shot ski.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, one of these.

[Chick McGee]

It's a.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a ski with a bunch of shot glasses.

[Chick McGee]

And I, I'm. I understand it's done for fun, but it's. I thought, oh, it's like a.

[Bob]

Why don't you have a question for him? Ask him a question.

[Chick McGee]

It's a long ski, but it isn't. It's a bunch of skis. It's not like one 400 foot ski.

[Bob]

So, Tom, all of these World records are more or less what you're describing. It's not the world's longest shot ski. It's 29,000 knitted together.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a big gripe we have.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, there's a. There's a Schottzki right there. We just brought.

[Josh Arnold]

You can't say you made the world's largest sandwich chick if it's actually 50 sandwiches.

[Bob]

Exactly.

[Chick McGee]

End to end. And that's what. But see, Ashotsky, you keep bringing us.

[Bob]

These world records that are basically the.

[Josh Arnold]

Same, but Tom says he doesn't care for this.

[Chick McGee]

No, I brought this. Everyone's attention to say this is semi fraudulent. Although I'm sure the people in Breckenridge Bridge were having a good time and who they were going up against. What? Park City? Some other ski place?

[Bob]

That's a shame. According to Summit Daily. Is that some sort of hoi polloi?

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's a man. I'm Summit Daily.

[Bob]

The Colorado ski destination has battled rival ski town Park City, Utah for the unofficial world record. Boy, this is just a load of nothing.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't you kind of want to punch everybody involved?

[Bob]

The two towns of attempted to best each other every year.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like a bad 80s movie.

[Bob]

This year's successful attempt took place at Beck and Ridges. What is the Uler Fest? Is that like how many they get together and they show bank balances? Is that what they do? Stuff like that. 1401 people lined up to take shots mounted on 503 skis that measured 2,477ft in length.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, so just fun. Doesn't shot keys sound like the name of a guy at the frat? Hey, dude.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Mondor and Josky got a keg.

[Bob]

There's got to be somebody named Nick.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't there a shot skis like deli? It's a franchise.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Shotsky.

[Bob]

No, there's an L in it, I think.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob]

And a new report. A new report reveals which sports league paid female players the most on average.

[Chick McGee]

This is unbelievable.

[Bob]

In 2024, I.

[Chick McGee]

No one will guess what's the now.

[Ace Cosby]

Soccer.

[Josh Arnold]

Soccer? Did you say female?

[Bob]

A new report reveals which sports league paid female players the most on average in 2024.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, so most would maybe say the WNBA.

[Bob]

According to Daniel Kaplan at Awful announcement.

[Josh Arnold]

You wouldn't guess that at all.

[Ace Cosby]

Their average salary is like 80,000. Something like that.

[Bob]

Pickleball leads the way in women's sports pro salaries with the United Pickleball association tour paying out an average salary, $269,000 to female players.

[Josh Arnold]

I would think people would say the wnba because nobody knew about this. Pro pickleball.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't know there was pro pickleball.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Bob]

The WNBA, where players earned an average of 120,000. And the National Women's Soccer League paid its players 50 to 60,000.

[Chick McGee]

Whoa. Now, to balance this, Christie.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's fair to say in pork porno, women are paid more than the men.

[Josh Arnold]

That is true.

[Christy Lee]

Not an argument.

[Chick McGee]

And there's a glass ceiling, although it's kind of cloudy. Thanks. Needs to be. Needs to be clean. So get on up there and wipe it off.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Right.

[Chick McGee]

I had no idea there was pro pickleball.

[Josh Arnold]

I've watched a little bit of it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob]

I think Drew Brees bought a team or something. There's. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And I've watched like five minutes on one of the sports channels.

[Bob]

Never.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't one of the big pro pickleball players get detained. Russia.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He showed up with illegal milk of magnesium.

[Bob]

Is there anything at the bottom of this? And finally, one of my sports stories. This is one of my favorites. You. I can't believe you put this together. Tom. A dog and a mini horse from Oregon are taking the show jumping world by storm.

[Chick McGee]

Because this is one of your favorite things is monkeys riding. Riding dogs.

[Bob]

But the 12 year old Jack Russell named Dally loves to ride on the back of the 17 year old miniature horse named Sparky.

[Josh Arnold]

On the back. All right. Okay. Because I was like, oh, well, one jumps and the other jumps. No, no.

[Bob]

Owner Francesca Carson first noticed the dog's desire. I refused to say the word penchant in public.

[Chick McGee]

Penchant.

[Bob]

Whatever.

[Chick McGee]

Penchant.

[Bob]

The dog likes to ride Sparky back in 2012. Since then, the duo Panchant has practiced show jumping daily and performed live. The 45 year old equine coach said of the Loves the crowd. Loves the attention. I thought we had a picture of.

[Chick McGee]

I think we're getting it right there. There you go.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look at that.

[Chick McGee]

And it's a. It's a. A beautiful miniature horse. And that little tiny Jack Russell, he jumps right up on the horse by himself.

[Josh Arnold]

I can't stand it.

[Chick McGee]

I mean this, this is so gorgeous. And then the beautiful little horse does the jump and the little doggy stays right there.

[Josh Arnold]

This footage isn't nominated for best picture of the year. Have you seen a better movie this year than this?

[Chick McGee]

And the payoff? The little doggy has a hat on. If you see this and don't realize that life is full of joy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Jump. I Mean, this is fantastic. Look at that.

[Josh Arnold]

And he even has, like, proper dressage.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, God, it's hilarious. And it's beautiful country. Look at the countryside there. God, what a gorgeous thing. This little critter having the best time.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it.

[Chick McGee]

That dog is so happy.

[Josh Arnold]

And the horse seems to be really enjoying it, too.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's a nice backpack.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's because the horse is going, thank God this isn't a golden retriever on my ass. Got a little tiny Jack.

[Josh Arnold]

That's better than that Saint Bernard.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, Little tiny Jack Russell. That is so sweet.

[Josh Arnold]

I loved it.

[Chick McGee]

And why do they say a dog?

[Ace Cosby]

What's.

[Chick McGee]

Why is the phrase dog and pony show negative?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Remember when we started. When we started this show, we. Ah, it's a dog and pony show.

[Josh Arnold]

It must have been so commonplace that anybody could do it. You know, back in the day, you had a dog and a pony. You could just put.

[Chick McGee]

You couldn't do that.

[Josh Arnold]

You could have them. No, but those shows, I mean, look, dog and pony shows have come a long way.

[Chick McGee]

Apparently.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, donkey shows, those two have come a long way.

[Chick McGee]

They have, yeah. How do they make those better?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I saw one where the donkey.

[Chick McGee]

Whistled while he worked.

[Bob]

I just like to see the donkey whistle. He wouldn't have to do anything else. Not at all.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you had to. She had to do certain things to get him to whistle Chick, so.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. So if you want to see that. It's the. It's the doggy is named. Is it? Who's Dally?

[Christy Lee]

Dally's the dog eats barky.

[Josh Arnold]

Who's Dally?

[Chick McGee]

She says Sparky is the horse.

[Christy Lee]

We'll post that on our socials.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we'll have to post that. It's wonderful. Just absolutely joyful. This holiday season, we've got some more gifts to open. Getting very excited about this.

[Christy Lee]

Pat opened his gift. We didn't.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

That's a gift that I wouldn't want to give.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, no kidding. This is the Bob and Tom show right there in the. But what?

[Bob]

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

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[Bob]

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

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Chick McGee. Doing our gift exchange that will continue. It's my understanding there's some kind of song in the offing again.

[Pat Godwin]

Surprise coming in the next break.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Oh, next break. Okay. Okay, well, we'll be ready. In the meantime, we will head that direction with Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Medical experts warn that this holiday season coincides with a spike in sex related insurance injuries.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Last year, Josh, There was a 234 surge in Google searches for penile fracture over the Christmas season.

[Josh Arnold]

I talked Mama into reverse cowgirl, the.

[Bob]

Most dangerous of all positions.

[Christy Lee]

A study published in the Journal of Urology International found chances of sustaining a penile fracture rose significantly between December 24 and 26.

[Josh Arnold]

So the day. My gosh.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. The injury usually Occurs during wild sex. And Dr. Nicholas pyrogrides.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi Dr. Nick.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. He has advice couples to exercise caution in the run up to Christmas. Apparently people are getting frisky due to feeling good over the holiday season and probably alcohol.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, let's get on the naughty list.

[Bob]

Don't bend it that well.

[Chick McGee]

That's interesting. The fact that it's so isolated on those two days is really kind of humorous.

[Christy Lee]

It's weird.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. They got people at time off and they're boozing it up and I guess.

[Josh Arnold]

Is Christmas Eve tough to make love during because your kids are, you would think, more alert to sounds and you know, they're not sleeping very well.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Think.

[Josh Arnold]

But Christmas Day they're probably just zonked out and you can really.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, is that where is that what happens you.

[Josh Arnold]

I would think most kids Christmas Eve our Christmas night sleep so wonderfully because they're tired.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And playing with new toys all day.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Way to go. Do you remember specifically any toys from when you were really little?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, yes. I remember a lot of he man figurines and getting the Skeletor's castle and all that stuff. Yeah. And the one. The one castle had a little microphone and the door was like a mouth and so like welcome to my castle. I remember loving that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that is great.

[Christy Lee]

Speaking of that.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

Kind of. A plumber working at a Virginia elementary school made a startling discovery. A Heathcliff lunchbox lost by a student more than 40 years earlier. Like Weathering Heights or inside he found a thermos.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I was kind of wondering.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's the cat.

[Christy Lee]

The cat.

[Chick McGee]

Heathcliff the cat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you not familiar with Heathcliff?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. He was kind of a hip street cat with. He was Garfield, but with a skateboard.

[Bob]

Let me get this straight. This was a cartoon on cbs, I think on Sunday morning or Saturday morning.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob]

This, that and the other. And Tom's unaware.

[Christy Lee]

Never heard of it.

[Bob]

It's unbelievable.

[Chick McGee]

No, I mean, I think it's sweet. I love the story. I just got aware that of Heathcliff the cat.

[Christy Lee]

Inside they found a thermos that still smelled like hot chocolate, an adorable drawing and a tag with the student's name, a Tracy Drain.

[Josh Arnold]

What's that?

[Christy Lee]

That's the name of the kid that lost the lunchbox. Tracy Drain.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought it was like some device.

[Christy Lee]

Who appears to have been in Mrs. Curry's class in room 30. The lunchbox appears to have been made in the early 1980s. The 80s. The Post eventually came to the attention of the correct Tracy Drain, who says she lost her lunchbox during fourth grade in 1982.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

So. Wow. I bet. I bet the Twinkie in there is still good.

[Josh Arnold]

They say it would be, don't they?

[Bob]

I will not sit here. I'm being told that your gifts for us are ready to go.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, they are. Okay, good.

[Bob]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

It's. Well, your main gift is in the freezer bag in the back. Okay. As usual, the delicious pot pies.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

But you. We can distribute these gifts very quickly.

[Josh Arnold]

They're in very handsome bags. Small bags.

[Pat Godwin]

Wonderful presentation.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes. These are nice.

[Chick McGee]

Hefty. Hefty. How would you describe it?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, fairly hefty.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Bob]

How much would you.

[Chick McGee]

These are all custom.

[Christy Lee]

These are very nice.

[Bob]

How much did you spend?

[Josh Arnold]

Let's go ahead and take a look.

[Chick McGee]

See here, Joshi, what's in the bag there?

[Josh Arnold]

Unwrapping this. It looks to be a deck of cards.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Josh Arnold]

With my face and with your face on.

[Christy Lee]

Let me see my face and your face.

[Bob]

My face and your face.

[Chick McGee]

Everyone's got their own custom deck of cards with their face on it.

[Bob]

That is something else.

[Chick McGee]

Let me see your Zeiss. It's a great photo of Ace. Ace is a man of color. In this case. In this case, the color. Color is really inappropriate. Yeah, that's great. Oh, there you go, Patty G. You got your little face. Okay, now next time you play cards, you can play with me. Thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

You can play with me.

[Chick McGee]

I got you those custom made pot pies.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

Delightful. And I will warn you now, when you make a pot pie, it's. You have to be patient after you take it out of the oven because they. They're hotter than molten steel. You've got to let them chill for a while.

[Josh Arnold]

These shuffle very.

[Chick McGee]

It's hard to do because they. Yeah, they shuffle well.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, good chick.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm holding the deck up. I'm going to. To split this deck and if you can tell me exactly what card it is. And there's no. There's no trick here. I don't know any. I will give you 5. 500.

[Bob]

Is that right?

[Chick McGee]

I'll give you a two dollar bill.

[Josh Arnold]

So you're just guessing a card out of 50.

[Bob]

Should I go now?

[Chick McGee]

Hang on a sec.

[Bob]

Let me go.

[Chick McGee]

Let me.

[Bob]

Seven of clubs.

Okay, try one more. Look at this chick right here. I got a two dollar bill.

[Christy Lee]

We really thought you were going to get us two dollar bills with your. With Your face on it.

[Bob]

I'll do the. Tell me when to stop.

[Pat Godwin]

It's illegal.

[Chick McGee]

Stop.

[Bob]

Two of spades.

[Josh Arnold]

He's very good. He's very good.

[Chick McGee]

Why now are we got more news? Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Russian entrepreneurs looking to make a quick buck have started selling twigs online. I need side gig marketing them as the perfect snowman arms. They're asking for up to 5,300 rubles or about $50 a pair. Yeah. Russia media reportedly says the online classified ad platforms have been inundated with these ads for snowman spare parts.

[Josh Arnold]

Frosty the snowman worked in gulag.

[Chick McGee]

Usually.

[Bob]

Usually.

[Chick McGee]

Don't the Russians. The Russians sell arms to Iran.

[Christy Lee]

Who.

[Chick McGee]

Who'd buy these things?

[Christy Lee]

Apart from the snow itself? You can buy pretty much anything online, Tom. From the snowman's hat and carrot nose.

[Josh Arnold]

The first oligarch on your block lock.

[Christy Lee]

With snowman arms, coal eyes and buttons. And of course the snowman arms.

[Chick McGee]

Do they have carrots over there in Russia? They like parsnips?

[Bob]

Nope, never heard of them.

[Chick McGee]

What are those, what are those white carrots called?

[Pat Godwin]

Organic carrots probably.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, the one. There's something else. Are those parsnips?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

When you cut them and they cut them they smell like turpentine. Yeah, yeah, those are good.

[Josh Arnold]

They are good.

[Chick McGee]

Really Bake them like little chips. So they're very good.

[Josh Arnold]

Parsnip chips.

Amy, my assistant is here with a giant box.

[Bob]

Amy. Amy.

[Pat Godwin]

The best Amy.

[Christy Lee]

She's holding a giant, giant gift.

[Bob]

It's almost as cavernous as a chimney. Oh, my.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, this is my mother's recipe. Oh. Oh, my God. My mother's famous recipe for cinnamon roll. I haven't had any. I haven't had any carbs in a year.

[Bob]

You're gonna make us.

[Pat Godwin]

You're gonna. We're gonna cry.

[Josh Arnold]

You're killing us.

[Chick McGee]

You nailed it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no. Look at the look of his face.

[Chick McGee]

I haven't had one of these in 20 years. Oh, my God. This is so sweet.

[Bob]

But to be clear, your mother didn't make that, right?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, thank you.

[Chick McGee]

That was brilliant.

[Josh Arnold]

That's so lovely.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody's gotta try. Get. Microwave them for 10 or 15 seconds. These are. Oh, these are so good. Wow. This is my mom's recipe which we have framed in my hallway.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Kelly framed that.

[Bob]

Pass.

[Chick McGee]

These are just delicious.

[Josh Arnold]

What do we do if they're just garbage?

[Pat Godwin]

We have to lie and make yummy sounds.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not saying good.

[Josh Arnold]

Amy did a poor job. I'm saying whatever.

[Bob]

Recipes. Like arsenic. What's that? Well, it was a big no, no.

[Chick McGee]

Please don't eat them and I'll eat them. Oh, my God.

[Pat Godwin]

There's a stain in the ingredient.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God. They're delightful. That's a thoughtful gift.

[Josh Arnold]

How lovely.

[Chick McGee]

My mom was famous for these.

[Christy Lee]

Did she make them every Christmas?

[Chick McGee]

She made them all the time.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Bob]

Don't make them anymore, though. Does she?

[Josh Arnold]

Look, Ever since I've been here, it's been eight years. I've never. Whenever we eat a little something on the air, Tom will take somewhat of a bite and kind of. I've never.

[Chick McGee]

He.

[Josh Arnold]

That is a real testament coming up.

[Chick McGee]

That's the closest thing.

[Bob]

Do you need to go vomit or something?

[Amy]

I'm just gonna pass out.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God. So great. So they're so delicious. Try them.

[Amy]

I will.

[Chick McGee]

I can't wait. Little jolt.

[Amy]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

You'd be surprised. Much, much more tasty. I would have to be much more tasty than those bagels you ate earlier. And by the way, whatever sauce they brought in with a cream. Whatever that is in them, it smells like dead fish in the green room. What is that stuff?

[Josh Arnold]

Cream cheese. Chick does prefer the Italian. Garlic, onion, vegetable.

[Bob]

No, no. There's garden. There's vegetable, garden, vegetable, garden, vegetable, cream cheese.

[Josh Arnold]

And that's good on a blueberry bagel.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, one of them smells like. Like. Like a dead salmon or something.

[Amy]

I. Oh, nice.

[Chick McGee]

No, I understand that we have another song coming. Is that. Wait a minute. Before we get to the song. I'm being given the signal. Oh, we're doing the song first. Okay.

[Amy]

I have my gifts, actually, for you guys. Pat, will you read this?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Pat Godwin]

It says nudes. Yeah, From a hooker.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Nudes from a hooker.

[Amy]

Yeah. This is what I got, all of you, is some homemade bucatini pasta.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, like nudes Noodles.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, I tell you what. Bucatini. Bucatini. Sounds like a sex move, right, Josh?

[Amy]

It does kind of, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

I gave her the old bucatini.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

She won't walk right for a week.

[Bob]

Mommy's pastries.

[Chick McGee]

I should. I should actually post that cinnamon roll.

[Bob]

I wish you would. You save millions of lives.

[Chick McGee]

It's amazing.

[Amy]

We lost him.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. His bad childhood just comes to. Ha. You know what?

[Bob]

My mother made me miserable. Flinch a lot. My mom made me.

[Pat Godwin]

My mom gave me bruises.

[Chick McGee]

Just playing along.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob]

And now.

[Chick McGee]

So now who's singing here?

[Bob]

And now a song.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, from the movie Elf Leon Redbone and Zoe Deschanel, right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They do a little.

[Pat Godwin]

A wonderful version of a Baby, it's cold outside. So we thought we'd play those characters. Characters. And give you a little twist on that.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Because it's very controversial.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

So here we go.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Pat Godwin]

You in character there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, I had a lovely evening. We had dinner, a couple of drinks, came back for a nightcap. But I think it's time to.

[Josh Arnold]

To wrap up the evening.

[Pat Godwin]

Gave a little. Little peck on the cheek, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah. Maybe something a little more than a peck on the cheek.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my. Yeah.

[Amy]

Because I'd really like to stay.

[Pat Godwin]

Maybe it's too hot inside.

[Amy]

It's our third day.

[Josh Arnold]

I should call you a ride.

[Amy]

This evening's not over.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm not ready for this.

[Amy]

Take me to bed.

[Pat Godwin]

Let's just hold hands. I'm not there yet.

[Amy]

Come on, Pat. Do me in a hurry.

[Pat Godwin]

Baby, baby is starting to flurry.

[Amy]

Give it to me good and give me some more.

[Pat Godwin]

How much poo was in the drink.

[Amy]

You pour down the guitar?

[Pat Godwin]

Is that the Uber driver's car?

[Amy]

How about just a little tongue or something?

[Pat Godwin]

Drink some coffee, Jess.

[Josh Arnold]

I insist.

[Amy]

Are we gonna bang or what?

[Pat Godwin]

Maybe you're moving too fast.

[Amy]

I thought all comics were sluts.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, some of us have a pass.

[Amy]

I know. You know how?

[Pat Godwin]

Of course I know how.

[Amy]

You have a kid.

[Pat Godwin]

Button up your shirt I can see y.

[Amy]

Get on me and go, go, go Sir.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, I am known as a closer.

[Amy]

Bend me over the kitchen sing what.

[Pat Godwin]

The hell it's doing. I'm having a few drinks I really want to stay.

[Bob]

Yeah, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Baby, it's hot.

[Pat Godwin]

It shot.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. All right. Another true story from Jess.

[Amy]

A little behind the scenes. When we were in a closed room rehearsing this, he was like, so is it.

[Chick McGee]

Is it. Is it okay?

[Amy]

We bend you over the kitchen sink and we just howled. Like, where. Where else do you work that you can say that to each other?

[Pat Godwin]

Jess, is it okay if I bend you over the kitchen sink in the song?

[Chick McGee]

Clearly.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Very good for. That was great. Thank you.

[Josh Arnold]

Very, very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, let's see now.

[Pat Godwin]

Merry Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, we have more stuff to open over here.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, what do you have over there?

[Christy Lee]

I'm not sure what this is.

[Bob]

Oh, we've got something from Jason. Is our gifts from Jason here?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we sure are.

[Bob]

I think I might have the most expensive one.

[Josh Arnold]

I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead, open. That's a big box. I got a little teeny box.

[Bob]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What do you got in there?

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know.

[Bob]

It's a. Is this a. Is this what it is or is this the box? It's called the sound Sound brick.

[Pat Godwin]

Look at that.

[Amy]

It's a Lego.

[Bob]

It's the Lego. I'll put this right beside my. When I get it together for the. The Seinfeld thing that Josh gave me.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, nice.

[Amy]

Does it actually work?

[Bob]

I bet it does. I think it does, actually.

[Amy]

Oh, you put it.

[Chick McGee]

I can't see it.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, so it looks like a radio. An old school radio.

[Amy]

That's cool.

[Bob]

And this is. It says on the back, warning, ingestion hazard. This product contains a button cell or coin battery death or serious injury can occur if ingested. Merry, Merry Christmas. Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

So I don't understand you. You turned your phone. I can't see it. You.

[Amy]

You build the Lego set, and it looks like an old school radio. And then you put your phone in it and it'll. It'll.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he's got to build it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow. Oh, that's cool. That's very nice.

[Bob]

What do you got, Tom?

[Chick McGee]

I have a. The. The Fram tone pin. Oh, you know Peter. Peter Frampton.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a big fan. That's the thing that. Don't you feel like. Christy, what do you got?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. Jason said it was for me. My rock and roll pass.

[Chick McGee]

That's nice wrapping.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you did a great job.

[Chick McGee]

That looks like it's about the size of a shoe box. Maybe real rappers would pick that out.

[Bob]

As a half ass.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Chick really showed us this.

[Christy Lee]

He showed us how you have to really do it.

[Chick McGee]

You didn't wrap anything because Chick's the best rapper here. That's pointing.

[Bob]

That's right.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I would have thought Ace would have been the best rapper.

[Ace Cosby]

Come on, y'all.

[Bob]

Yo, yo, yo.

[Chick McGee]

Christy's struggling to open this box. It's now she's reaching in and it looks like a.

[Christy Lee]

It looks like a box in a box.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, there's a box in there. Is it a chess set?

[Christy Lee]

It says Gibson is a guitar case.

[Bob]

Very cool.

[Chick McGee]

Little tiny guitar case.

[Josh Arnold]

Some Billy F. Gibson beard hair.

[Christy Lee]

Is it?

[Chick McGee]

What's in there?

[Christy Lee]

A little. A little guitar.

[Bob]

That's cool.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, cool.

[Bob]

Oh, you put the guitar together. That's a life size guitar for Christy. That's how tiny she is.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

It's very cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Miniature guitar.

[Bob]

I think you can collect them, actually. Actually, I think they're Frampton Guitar.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice.

[Amy]

Peter Frampton.

[Bob]

Oh, there you go. Is that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's the famous Peter Frampton.

[Christy Lee]

Phoenix.

[Bob]

Phoenix.

[Chick McGee]

The one.

[Josh Arnold]

And we know your love of Peter Frampton. And that looks to be insertable to me.

[Bob]

That doesn't say Christmas. I'll kiss your ass.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you, John. That's so cool, Jason.

[Bob]

That is cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you wanted to thank me for the idea. Might go neck first.

[Bob]

Did you hear the. Did you hear the story about how Frampton told him he found the guitar and he gotten it back? They were going through rehearsal and he said, we need to go through. Do you feel One more time. And the guys are like, ah, come on. So he had his. Back to the. And they didn't know he had the guitar, so he. He went, this is. And they all went, whoa.

[Chick McGee]

This is the guitar that was. They thought it had been. Apparently it was in a plane crash and they couldn't find it.

[Pat Godwin]

That's cool.

[Bob]

They all Knew immediately that he found.

[Chick McGee]

The right plane crash. What? In South America. And many, many years later, later, it showed up on ebay or something. Someone had stolen. They'd gone to the crash site and stolen the gear, including Frampton's. The famous guitar from the COVID of Frampton Comes Alive, which he now does have back.

[Josh Arnold]

Christy, this is an odd text you just sent me. I don't care for this. Do you want it? What does that mean?

[Bob]

That's weird.

[Chick McGee]

Ah.

[Pat Godwin]

Probably shouldn't have read that.

[Christy Lee]

Body.

[Chick McGee]

Nice. Nice tribute to our friend Peter Fr.

[Christy Lee]

Awesome. Thank you. Very thoughtful.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice.

[Chick McGee]

[Christy Lee]

Open the gift from me to.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's. I knew there was something he. No, no, no, no.

[Bob]

But I'm sure it's real boring and awful. Just throw it on. Just throw it in the trash.

You are just zero fun. You know that.

[Christy Lee]

[Chick McGee]

And then, of course, the woodcock, which is, of course, the best kind.

[Bob]

Woodcock.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. But no, see, this should. What I'll do is I'll have this ironed and cleaned up, of course. And then. And then frame it.

[Amy]

We could hang it in the green room.

[Ace Cosby]

No, it's going in this house.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I bet it's not.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

No way.

[Chick McGee]

No, I do have two garages. That's why I suggest garage.

[Bob]

Either.

[Josh Arnold]

The only way that's going in his house is if it's right into the fireplace.

[Chick McGee]

Perfect. Well, this would be great. I think what we should do is put this in the men's room.

[Amy]

Oh, there you go. That's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

I can wipe my ass with.

[Christy Lee]

Next year. You get nothing. And I. I was.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Amy]

Legally, a mom has to say that.

[Chick McGee]

There were two series. There's the Series.

So I watched the classic Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer cartoon the other night with the cat kids. Yeah, well, you failed to mention if I were Rudolph, that story would have gone a lot differently. First of all, I don't want to play your reindeer games. They look stupid.

[Ace Cosby]

Pick me.

[Jason]

Or don't. I'm fine either way. I'd rather go hit on some sexy foxes anyway. Rudolph got that forest fever. Speaking of which. Hey, Santa, why are you being such a jerk? Mrs. Claus not giving it up. Oh, I don't blame her. Look at yourself. Maybe lay off the hog and the nog. Take some personal responsibility. You don't have to eat every Ho ho in the box. Maybe if you drop a few pounds, you wouldn't need so many of us reindeer to drag your fat ass across the sky. Then Dasher and Vixen could finally get married, settle down, and I. Iceland. I've heard Blitzen's been trying to retire for decades. No wonder there's such jerks to me. You're working them all to death. Then on top of that, you got a whole shop full of little people making all your toys. Where's Osha? You pay off Osha, you jolly red prick. And while we're at it, Santa, why do you bring rich kids better toys than you do the poor kids? How you gonna give Kenny a new MacBook and then Sammy only gets a Slinky? They live right next door to each other. I'm not surprised you and your reindeer are all a bunch of bullies. Hope you don't have any handicapped children on your roots. Santa, if this is how you treat me just because I got a red nose, I hate to see how you treat little Scoliosis Stevie trying to hop up in your lap to ask for a new crutch for Christmas. You're Such a jerk. You probably bought Paraplegic Patty a new skateboard. You and your reindeer wanted nothing to do with me. Now it's all foggy out and you want my help. Screw you, old Saint Dick. Not only am I not helping any of you, I've been working through all of this with my therapist. And if the children of the world don't get their presents this year, that's on you guys, not me. You should have been nicer to me in the first place. I'm out. I've been Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and this was the news I failed to mention.

[Bob]

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Thank you very much. Time now to. Or learn a little something about the world and history.

[Bob]

Time now to learn a little something about the world and history.

[Chick McGee]

Now, Now, Josh, do you go with tsar or czar?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't really know the difference. I'm.

[Chick McGee]

But I've always thought the CZ was just a little too ethnic.

[Bob]

I think both are fine. And I think the original Russian is cz.

[Christy Lee]

I like CZ better.

[Chick McGee]

Well, this is a T. I think.

[Josh Arnold]

The original Russell Russian is ts no.

[Chick McGee]

This is a tsar Peter the Great. In 1699, he ordered the Russian New Year to be changed from September 1st to January 1st.

[Bob]

That seems like good thinking.

[Chick McGee]

Thus making millions of people's books overdue at their local Russky library. 1812 Grimm's local Rusky library. 1812, Grimm's fairy tales published for the first time.

[Bob]

Did the word Grimm mean Grimm before fairy tales? Fairy tale.

[Chick McGee]

That's a very good fairy meat. Yeah.

[Bob]

And why T A L E instead of T A I L?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, all good questions.

[Josh Arnold]

Your thoughts answer them all.

[Chick McGee]

Excellent question. Now on In 1879, Christy Lee, where did Thomas Edison demonstrate the incandescent light?

[Christy Lee]

[Bob]

Oh, 42. No, 46.

[Chick McGee]

And then Harvey Firestone, famous tires on all for. He famously played Edna in an early version of Hairspray. Before it was a spray, it was when they creamed it on kind of a pomade thing. But Harvey liked to dress up like Harvey Firestein.

[Bob]
