[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tell them about last year. Well, it went a little something like this. I was snowed in at the airport.

[Chick McGee]

Late last Christmas Eve.

[Bob Kevoian]

They finally cleared the Runway and said the plane could leave.

[Chick McGee]

I couldn't call my wife to tell her I was coming home.

[Bob Kevoian]

When I opened up the door, she wasn't home alone. Was Santa coming down the chimney, Dino? Well, not expecting exactly. She and Bob the mailman were naked on the floor and it was very.

[Chick McGee]

Plain to see what they were naked for.

[Bob Kevoian]

She asked me to forgive her, but this was my reply. Let's stand under the mistletoe and you can kiss my ass goodbye. Goodbye. Then you can kiss my ass goodbye. Smooches Baby, don't be shy. Light the Christmas tree. Oh, yeah. Then pucker up for me. You can skip the pumpkin pie. Give my dairy air a try. Let's stand under the mistletoe when you can kiss my ass goodbye. Well, that was last year. But since I left my wife, things have really changed. That's right, Dino. Let's tell him about it. Okay, pallie. Now every day is Christmas, I'm jolly as can be. Your girlfriend's got big knockers and you won the lottery. So if your wife is cheating, don't bother asking why.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dingle bells, dingle bells. I. Ben.

[Christy Lee]

Just take it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good morning. Hello.

[Chick McGee]

From coast to coast, it's the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Many portions of the upcoming program have.

[Bob Kevoian]

Been pre recorded, meaning they've already happened.

[Chick McGee]

And they're about to happen again. So where was it?

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Ladies and gentlemen, we're glad to have you here. It's the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

We all want to thank you very much for our Christmas party yesterday.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. A little bit of lunch. Yeah, it was fun.

[Josh Arnold]

It sure was nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got the group together for some barbecue courtesy of the smoking pastor. And by the way, the smoking pastor, it's smoking as in barbecuing, not.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Not standing outside smoking cigarettes. Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Although. What's that movie? Conclave. One of the only funny moments in that movie is when they. They focus on that giant pile of cigarette butts because all the priests are out there smoking. Very funny.

[Christy Lee]

Very stressful.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah. There are probably a handful of priests out there that still smoke. Not too many, probably.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, why not?

[Christy Lee]

Well, you don't see people smoking much anymore, do you?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They're out there.

[Christy Lee]

And when you do, you're like.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's always such a great character device to have a priest smoking. It's like, okay, he's a man of the cloth, but he's still got his. He's not perfect.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

He's human.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. There is something about that. I mean, he's got to give up a lot of stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like everybody for you talk to someone who maybe they've given up alcohol, and they always have. It's like there's one thing left.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Look, you know, don't take my Splenda. I've given up sugar, cigarettes, booze, whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember, Obama smoked, but he quit before he went to the White House. Yeah. Allegedly. And I say that because. Why not keep. Just keep smoking.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. It's okay. I think he did. I mean, right, Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Wouldn't you off the phone with world leaders. All right, all right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. I got Putin again, you know, he's not giving up an inch. Yeah, give me some Camels.

[Christy Lee]

Do you think they make him go outside, though?

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think basketball court.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably cracked the window, by the way.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who's going to go? Mr. President, you can't smoke in here.

[Christopher]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

I guess Trump loves McDonald's. It's like you get off the phone with Putin. Give me a Quarter Pounder.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, no kidding. It's okay. I got to deal with this Russian a hole. I want to. I want to. I want some fries.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

I knew a guy that had been part of the. What do you call, Secret Service detail, and he said that Bill Clinton would occasionally, you know, grab a. Grab a smoke, a cigarette. Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Cigarette.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then there was, of course, the whole cigar thing, but that was.

[Josh Arnold]

And the old didn't inhale thing. Yeah, right. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, was that him?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that was.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that's right. Yeah. Jimmy Carter was the guy that lusted in his heart.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

In the Playboy interview. When they follow politics, they really latch onto the dumbest crap. One tiny little mistake and. Jesus. Okay, well, in that case, I mean.

[Josh Arnold]

Nowadays, I think it's different, but back when what Clinton should have, he shouldn't have done the whole. I didn't. I smoked, but I never.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, you could run for president now. You could have one of those gas masks on, hooked up to a giant, giant hookah, you know, huffing a pound of the greatest weed ever produced and. No, no one's going to care.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, of course I smoked. I was a progressive in the 60s. It's all we did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, let's see. I've. We have letters to get to. We have. We actually have a. A couple really funny stories. One of them kind of involving not really politics, but I guess world events involving spy work and some of the tools that were used by spies. Oh, real. Real spies.

[Josh Arnold]

In the world of espionage.

[Bob Kevoian]

In the world of espionage. And one of them. I can give you a little hint. One of them involves a fake body part.

[Josh Arnold]

Interesting.

[Bob Kevoian]

Which is kind of interesting. Yeah, wait till you hear what it is. Also, we have a couple controversies in the world of Christmas trees.

[Christy Lee]

Done yesterday. Finally.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice.

[Christy Lee]

All up and ready to go.

[Scott Henry]

Trimmed.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. Oh, girls are still home. They're leaving today. So we got it all. I asked them if they wanted their ornaments because, you know, I have them all labeled from every year that they got one. I go, I can box these up and you can take them. No, no, no, mom, we. We have to always do it this way, so. Oh, yeah, yeah. Keep them on the tree.

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely. Josh, this One will interest you. It's a cat proof Christmas tree.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Does gravy get into the tree?

[Josh Arnold]

No, she likes to sleep under it.

[Christy Lee]

But she doesn't bat the ornaments around.

[Josh Arnold]

No, there was when she was young, Ira, you know, she's three now, but when she was a kitten, she would. And then I found her in the middle of the tree one time.

[Bob Kevoian]

And we can do this story today because Chick's not here, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

If he were here, we'd hear his tragic story about a cat in a Christmas tree. I like that story. You like that? I do. No, it's horrible. Something dark and crazy about it. There's something dark and awful about it. We're not there to get. We're not going to discuss it. Also today we have. We have one serious story. A cheese recall. A huge one. If it's a shredded cheese that may have metal fragments in it. Oh. And it's one of those cheeses that's sold under a variety of names, but stores include Walmart, Aldi, and Target that have this stuff. So if you're a shredded cheese person, go to the FDA website. I mean, there's a list of like 50 names of various cheeses that may potentially have metal in them. So if you don't want to shred your throat, you might want to watch out for the shredded cheese. FDA is. They have. Go to the FDA website and they'll.

[Josh Arnold]

And sometimes isn't it fun just to go in there and grab a pinch of shredded cheese?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

As a little snack.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did that last night.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't that great?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah, sure.

[Josh Arnold]

You kind of put it in your lip like it's like, it's like it's Shaw.

[Christy Lee]

Does it dissolve?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll have to try that. Putting it in there. Like leave it in there.

[Josh Arnold]

I think I told you like two years ago I had this thing where I'd wake up in the middle of the night and go get a slice of Swiss cheese.

[Bob Kevoian]

Huh.

[Josh Arnold]

And go back to sleep. And finally one morning I woke up with a mouthful of Swiss cheese and I was like, well, I'm done doing that. Before I choked to death in my sleep.

[Bob Kevoian]

That'd be. That'd be embarrassing.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, what happened to him? Well, he. It was the cheese.

[Josh Arnold]

Had he not chewed it up, he could have breathed through the holes. But he. Why? I don't snack at night.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

How do you die? He choked on cheese. Of course he did. I can't allow him with a Jimmy.

[Bob Kevoian]

John's in his throat. Also, speaking of cheese, we have more science about cutting the cheese. Oh, wait, and wait. Wait till you hear this one. It's the relationship between flatulence and Alzheimer's.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

And this is from the National Academy of Sciences.

[Christy Lee]

I have a lot of problem with this story.

[Bob Kevoian]

With this story?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Because if you're around a lot of old people, that's all they do. So they should never have Alzheimer's.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, you make. It's a valid point.

[Josh Arnold]

So is that if you huff farts.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, it's. You'll see.

[Jeff Shaw]

This is.

[Bob Kevoian]

And this is, this is from the distinguished Johns Hopkins University. So, you know, can you imagine if you're. You meet someone, hey, you work at Johns Hopkins? What are you, a brain surgeon? No, no, I, I'm studying fart huffing. Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Glad they didn't cut off your grant money. But we'll find out. There is actually a relation involves something like sodium sulfide or hydrogen bombs. I forget what it is exactly. Something with hydrogen or sulfide. That's all. That's all. On the way, we have some sporting news. We have a great story in the world of the wnba. Really cool story.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I'm anxious to hear it. I don't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

This, it's one of my, my pet peeves has always been these sports pundits who, you know, what a loser. Blah, blah, blah. And, you know, none of these guys could catch a baseball if you threw it at them. And this, this is a guy that was mocking the skill level of the WNBA players and he's brutally humiliated. It's one of the great moments in sports this year by a terrific player from the wnba. We'll get to that coming up. And real quick, I do have an update on the baby. It's cold outside. Controversy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, is that still.

[Christy Lee]

That's a controversy.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a little. I got just a little bit of an up. I wanted to find out if that was still a thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

And, you know, of course, there's always some, you know, fringe group that, you know, find some conspiracy about it. Whatever. We'll get. We'll get to that.

[Christopher]

Hey, welcome to the Best of Bob and Tom Christmas here on a Monday. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. We're going to do some great Christmas stuff between now and Thursday, including Edward McCain today, Jeff Shaw, Scott Henry, and lots more coming up next, though, decorating Christmas trees with kids. It's on the way in just a minute here on the Bob and Tom Show.

[Willie]

Hey, folks, let me ask you a serious question. Did you know that driving high is considered driving under the influence. That's right. Driving under the influence of marijuana is against the law in every state. That means even in states where marijuana is legal, that means driving high could get you a dui. And if you think law enforcement officers can't tell when you're driving high, well, my friend, you're wrong. If you're high, they can tell. Your friends can tell. Your co workers can tell. Even your parents can tell. Everyone can tell. So what makes you think that law enforcement officers don't know when you're driving high? You'd be wrong. They can tell, too. Driving under the influence of marijuana can slow your response time and change how you perceive time and speed. So even if you think you're fine to drive when you're high, you're not. Because the bottom line is if you feel different, you drive different. And driving high is driving under the influence. So remember, drive high, get a dui. Paid for by nhtsa.

[Christopher]

Welcome back to the Best of Bob and Tom Christmas here in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think of O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Let's talk decorating the tree with the kids. How about that?

[Bob Kevoian]

You got your tree up yet, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

No, not yet. Not yet. I took down all the Thanksgiving stuff and today will be the day that I break out the Christmas decorations and everything.

[Christy Lee]

Do you flip the pillows over? Is there a Christmas pillow?

[Josh Arnold]

No, but I have a Christmas pillow that sits in the closet until now. Okay, that's actually out. I did put that out because I was in that closet putting away an air mattress and went, oh, I'll grab the Christmas nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Air mattress or air mattress? Air filled doll.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, with a little imagination, it becomes an air filled woman. She's large, but Bertha's very gentle.

[Bob Kevoian]

I see. Now, when you set your tree up, do you play Christmas music?

[Josh Arnold]

I will have a Hallmark Christmas movie on.

[Christy Lee]

I watched one. It wasn't officially a Hallmark. Is it a Hallmark movie if it's not on Hallmark?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, but I think on Lifetime it defines. It defines Netflix. I think a Hallmark movie now is.

[Christy Lee]

Promise or something is a genre. Yeah, it was that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I mean, it's. It's. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

We'll be hearing some of the great Bob and Tom Christmas stuff coming up.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I had a quick question for decorating the tree. Do you decorate it with the kids?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

They participate. Not a lot.

[Josh Arnold]

We did. I wondered if any other parents do this. So we let the kids decorate the tree. We just sit and watch. We put the fake fire on the tv and we put on some Christmas music and. And then the kids get done decorating the tree, and then they leave. And then we spend the next hour while I sit there and watch my girlfriend redecorate the tree and put them the way they should be. Oh. Does anyone else do that?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

But your kids are. Your kids are older, though.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Somehow they miss 2 square feet of tree. Like, why didn't you just do it with them at the same time? I don't know. It gives them a feeling of independent. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Don't they come out and go, hey, I didn't put that.

[Bob Kevoian]

You always get a second opinion on the lights. You get them. You got. You stand back and you squint, see if there are any spots where they're not.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sure. We got the tree that already has the lights.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's perfect. And you don't wrap more?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. And it has a color changing, so we can make it whatever color you want, depending on the mood. You can go all white. You can go multi color.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's my understand in and out. I don't want to get anybody upset. It's my understanding that. What? That Santa Claus. You tend to get better gifts for the real tree.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a total lie. Don't believe any of that.

[Christy Lee]

Kids, is your Christmas tree more decorative or more children decorative? Do you know what I'm trying to say?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. No.

[Josh Arnold]

We.

[Bob Kevoian]

We're in charge of the tree.

[Josh Arnold]

The adults. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

It's Crate and Barrel Christmas. That's what I was trying to say nicely.

[Bob Kevoian]

We have standards.

[Christy Lee]

It's for the kids. The kids have their own trees in their bedrooms, though, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So they could decorate those.

[Bob Kevoian]

Those are fake, though.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay. My tree, even to this day, is still all kids, though. I mean, it's fun. We still put stuff they made when they were in first.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. That's all on there, of course.

[Christy Lee]

On your tree.

[Josh Arnold]

But it's placed where they want it to be placed, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. There's a theme.

[Josh Arnold]

Measure the distance between ornaments.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, Amy does.

[Josh Arnold]

Make Amy.

[Bob Kevoian]

You make Amy decorate your tree this time of year. We did it. Kelly did it. We were there. I was present.

[Christy Lee]

We have our first artificial tree this year, and I have to say, I'm really sad we waited this long.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're amazing. They are.

[Christy Lee]

We don't. It's not dead already, usually. I mean, we don't have to water it. I Have one that's got a pedestal. You push the button and it flips up.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then you're missing the best part.

[Christy Lee]

Putting.

[Bob Kevoian]

Putting in the roof of your car. And then. Oh yeah, getting yelled. Getting yelled at because you're not going fast enough. And I'm pointing out. Look, I don't want to hit the brakes and have this tree come flying into the garden.

[Christy Lee]

I don't have tree. What? Pine needles all over my house.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I could buy a real tree. Or I could for the same price, buy six artificial trees.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not anymore. Some of those artificial trees are a couple thousand bucks.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, well, maybe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Were you shop. Where are you shopping at?

[Josh Arnold]

Not all of us go to Restoration Hardware for our fake trees. Pottery bar.

[Bob Kevoian]

We got a nice lunch wire there.

[Josh Arnold]

You apparently have not checking out the Christmas tree aisle at the Dollar General. Can you imagine eating at Restoration Hardware?

[Christy Lee]

I've done it.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like. It's like a great restaurant.

[Christy Lee]

Beautiful.

[Josh Arnold]

22 bucks for one cucumber sandwich or whatever.

[Jeff Shaw]

The.

[Bob Kevoian]

It sounds like a nightmare, but it's the quality of the people there. John. Okay, now you mentioned the do Dollar Store. This is one of my favorite.

[Josh Arnold]

I hate this one. This is the one that that band shat out on the way here.

[Bob Kevoian]

I encourage. I encourage opposing points of view.

[Christy Lee]

I love Christmas spirit.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I generally encourage it, but. Well, let's just give this a listen and you can decide.

[Jeff Shaw]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's only a minute and nine seconds according to.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you remember the name of the band?

[Christy Lee]

The Fuglies.

[Bob Kevoian]

The Fuglies. It's a great name for the. Here we go. Next year is gonna be good to go next year. I'm gonna get my ducks all in a row this year. I'm a little late. There's nothing left here on my plate and I can see it coming. It's a dollar store Christmas Here it comes again Another dollar store Christmas Here it comes again Like a long lost friend with a baseball bat behind his back and a fanny pack full of bitter pills and other people's best wishes It's a Dollar Store Christmas oh, yeah, yeah Dollar Store Christmas it's never 99 doll. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A brand new just wrote yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

We're crazy.

[Josh Arnold]

Some. Some weird metaphor of pills and a fanny pack or whatever.

[Edwin McCain]

Pills.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm just trying a little harder. But you can go see the Fuglies nowhere because they just banned it 20 years ago probably.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like the song very much. He wrote that yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Honestly, it sounds like so many songs I love from the 90s yeah. Like it's definitely, it has promised the melody.

[Bob Kevoian]

Maybe they've polished it up. We'll have to call the Fuglies and see. See what's, see what's going on. I'm sure we've all been in that situation where at the last minute you've got to grab some gifts and. Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

What's your color scheme on your tree?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know. I'll show you a picture of it. It's green, largely.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. No, I'm just curious to see it.

[Josh Arnold]

But I like my artificial tree because I, I can also choose between the smaller lights and the big fat old style lights.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

That's nice.

[Josh Arnold]

Or I can have both lit at.

[Christy Lee]

The same time and it's pre lit.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. It's a good one. It's a good one.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I like that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just, I took a picture of it. There's a couple. I'm gonna have to get another some more lights.

[Christy Lee]

But can you tell the color scheme there?

[Jeff Shaw]

Beige.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's beige.

[Josh Arnold]

Huge.

[Christy Lee]

I guarantee it's beige.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I, I, I had that happen. I, maybe it's just the angle.

[Josh Arnold]

I effort into that as the Fuglies did. That's.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure it's a beautiful treat.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, got this letter here. Dear Bob and Tom show Sorry to bother you at work. I was wondering if Jeff Oskay noticed if strangers are treating him differently now that he doesn't look like a raving lunatic.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great question. Yeah, they're talking to me. I don't like it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again. Once again, on last week we did the glow up. You call it a so called glow up. Got your bushy hairdo taken down and yeah, your beard.

[Josh Arnold]

There has to be some negatives though. Now when you walk by a restaurant, there aren't people walking out giving you their doggy bags. Yeah, I'm getting a lot less of that. I'm getting a lot more. Hey, mister, can I have a dollar? I never that with my old look.

[Christy Lee]

How does your girlfriend like it?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, she likes the hair. She doesn't like the look of my face, so she looks covered up.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know if you can fix that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Did you go to an open mic one time looking like that and you're asked to stand outside?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, the. Well, when I, I worked the jukebox the first time I was there, Dan came over and goes, hey, I, I, we, we like to help people, but I can't have you hanging out in my lobby. And I go, what do you mean? He goes, it's just a bad look for the club. And I go, well, I'm on in like an hour. He goes, oh, you're one of the comics. I thought a homeless person wandered in, but that's the.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's the. Your girlfriend. That's the look she likes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Vagrant. Yeah. Rebel. A vagabond, apparently.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, you're not, like, freakish looking. You're a handsome guy. You look kind of like a Dennis Miller. You got a full head of hair.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, no, I've. It's a lot of great compliments. People have been super nice online, which is so rare.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, very.

[Josh Arnold]

I can't believe how well it's going.

[Christy Lee]

So are you gonna let it grow out again or just keep it a little shorter or longer, but not as long?

[Josh Arnold]

Starting all over again.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. What, every six months you get a haircut?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm like a Chia Pet.

[Christy Lee]

He said it was a year. It was a year since your last one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I think it was.

[Bob Kevoian]

May or may we have the before and after posted.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. The best comment, which I think got hundreds of likes on under the picture. Before and after. Said it looks like the lawyer and I'm also the defendant.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I like that. Yeah, that really did nail it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very poetic. Christy Lee is over there at the SILAC Insurance news desk. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

U.S. customs agents seized over $775,000 in counterfeit children's toys. Officers at the area Port of Norfolk, Newport News, Virginia, obtained a shipment in September and found it to contain over 12,000 plush toys, 1600 backpacks, 1600 music boxes, 1400 snow globes, and several other counterfeit items.

[Bob Kevoian]

Partridge and a Fair Tree.

[Christy Lee]

The toys and other items bore protect trademarks, including Despicable Me, Game of Thrones, Labubu, Mickey Mouse, and others. Oh, I bet they came from. Want to guess?

[Josh Arnold]

China, for sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, but I. So do they. They have to destroy them, right?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what they do with them.

[Josh Arnold]

Wait, so that new Easy Bake meth oven is not real? That's a counterfeit. The one with the minions on it. Yeah. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I want.

[Bob Kevoian]

I should have. I wonder what new toys have made the next Toy Story movie.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, this. This one is all about the iPad, Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

The iPad versus the plastic toys. But I mean, I wondered, what's the. What's the new one? The Labubu. Yeah, I wonder if that made the cut because.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I feel that's maybe a trend type thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Too trendy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Yeah. I just love Those movies. And we talked to Tim Allen.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

A couple weeks ago, and he was working on the voice work with. He's Heat, of course, does Buzz Lightyear and Tom Hanks. Does Woody there. They're working on the new one, Toy Story 5. So I can't wait to see it. I love all those movies.

[Christy Lee]

Now we have time for this real quick. Over $100,000 worth of escargot stolen from a French snail farmer. Thieves broke into buildings on the farm owned by Le Escargot de Grand Cru. They stole roughly 990 pounds of snails, both frozen and fresh. Le Escargot de Grand Cru said it will try to replenish in time for Christmas and New Year's Eve. 60% of the business's annual revenue is made just during the holiday season. That's a popular day.

[Josh Arnold]

Escargot, they're probably more popular.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Have you ever had it?

[Scott Henry]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's delicious. I like it.

[Christy Lee]

Great.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I did not care for it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

The police, they leave a trail.

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't.

[Christy Lee]

Escargot is just like a lot of butter, garlic. Garlic, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I tried adding salt, but it just.

[Bob Kevoian]

Shrunk up on me. Made you feel sluggish. Yeah, I couldn't.

[Josh Arnold]

You've never had it?

[Christy Lee]

I've never had it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I will not eat it.

[Christy Lee]

You don't eat escargot.

[Bob Kevoian]

So delicious.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, man, it's great.

[Christy Lee]

What's the flavor?

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, butter and garlic. Okay. Yeah, I'm a big fan of both of those.

[Josh Arnold]

The snail itself was.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like a chewy booger.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, something. And I like earthy flavors, but this didn't hit me. I chipped one of my back teeth on the shell and it really messed up. Yeah, that'll happen.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do you dig them out of the. How does it work?

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes you can eat the shell.

[Christy Lee]

They come in like a. There's a special snail escargot dish. Yeah. They're already pulled out of this.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So is it like, like, like, like oysters all like Rockefeller? Yeah. You know they do that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Is this one of those con jobs, like caviar?

[Christy Lee]

No, caviar is delicious. You don't like caviar?

[Bob Kevoian]

That is delicious.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never tried it. That's.

[Bob Kevoian]

That.

[Josh Arnold]

I do want to try.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like eating. It's like eating salt that pops in your mouth.

[Josh Arnold]

You think you'd love that.

[Christy Lee]

It is fishy eggs, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like eating fish eggs coming up here.

[Christopher]

[Christopher]

Welcome back. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom Studios. We're doing the best of Bob and Tom Christmas, including this one. It has the cost, the actual cost of the 12 Days of Christmas and some requests.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got some Christmas requests and we were talking about Christmas music and how everybody's got a couple they don't care for, but everyone's got the ones that they're their favorites.

[Josh Arnold]

We like to focus on the ones we love.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. You and I disagree on some. Oh, I. I do like the Paul McCartney song that a lot of people dislike.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't have the. It brings out a lot of ire in people. I don't have that. But I. It's not my favorite.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't. The simply having A Wonderful Christmas. I worked retail and it drove me crazy. And I think there's something that hits that ear nerve. A lot of synth synth in it. It's a very dated sound, I guess that. A lot of synthesizers.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And very repetitive. But I like it. It's kind of fun. But the 12 days of Christmas is a. It's a difficult song.

[Ken Tarmac]

Are you kidding me?

[Josh Arnold]

I like when the Muppets do it.

[Bob Kevoian]

But this is comedian Randy Lubas talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

This is a perfect bit.

[Bob Kevoian]

The 12. This is genius.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. The first 400 times I heard it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Here we go. If you've never heard it before, just sit back and enjoy.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, you play that and I hate to sound like a Scrooge, but I used to work in a department store and I used to sit there for an eight hour shift and have to listen to that Muzak Christmas tape over and over. And they would play the single most annoying song known to man. You all know that song. I'm talking that song. The Twelve Days of Christmas. First off, guys, I don't believe this song. I can't believe that anybody is this into birds. All right, think about it, Tom. On the seventh day alone, this guy's getting seven swans a swim and six geese a lay and four calling birds. Three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge. That's 23 birds. Who is this man, Alfred Hitchcock? By the 12th day, he's accumulated 42 swans of swimming and 42 geese a lay and 36 calling birds, 30 French hens, 22 turtle doves and 12 partridges. Now I hope this man's got a newspaper subscription, cuz that's 184 birds. And we didn't even take into consideration those geese are a laying. Some of those eggs will be a hatching.

[Scott Henry]

Hey.

[Bob Kevoian]

And if that's not bad enough, come the eighth day they start sending in show business people.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ladies dancing drummers, drumming pipers, piper lords, a leaping. All right, Bob, I'll accept that they're in show business. They're used to working around the holidays. But what about those poor maids of Milkin? They ought to be home with their family on Christmas. Not yanking on account I can see him sitting there on their stool. He brings in one more stinking bird and I'll be damned if I'm picking those pears. Randy Lubas, that is an absolute class.

[Josh Arnold]

Excellent. Not an extra word and not a.

[Scott Henry]

Word out of place.

[Bob Kevoian]

It is just perfect. Thank you, Randy. Andy.

[Christy Lee]

Perfectly told.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then every year some TV station does the annual. Well, this year it's gonna cost you. The cost.

[Chick McGee]

Gonna cost more.

[Scott Henry]

I love that.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Price of pears has gone up. You like that? Do you like that?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

This year, Thanksgiving cost you an extra $2.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice. Nice measuring stick. Economy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I. Wait, but when they do that, do they. I mean, you have to. You rent the lords a leaping. Right.

[Josh Arnold]

You hire. Yeah, yeah. You hire us.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's no human trafficking going on here.

[Josh Arnold]

No one would hope not thank for service. Right, right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. I'm just saying. I always find that super annoying and takes all the fun out of the thing, but that is. Do you listen all the way through to that one when it comes on the radio? Do you listen to. To the 12 days of Christmas or you.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I guess. I don't usually if I'm listening to Christmas music, it's in the background. I'm doing something else. I'm not going to change the channel. Bad Mom's Christmas, which is one of my favorite Christmas movies, which I'm sure you've never seen. Kristen Baranski does a beautiful. Have you seen this?

[Josh Arnold]

I love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's very funny.

[Christy Lee]

I love it. And she's got the Lord's a leaping. She's got people dancing in the yard. It's.

[Josh Arnold]

Those Bad mom movies are great.

[Christy Lee]

They are great. If you have a chance.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've never even heard of it.

[Chick McGee]

You and I saw one in the.

[Josh Arnold]

Theater, didn't we, and loved it. It. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Bad Mom's Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

It's wonderful. Very funny. It's a must at our house, Christmas Eve.

[Bob Kevoian]

There we go. Add it to the list.

[Christy Lee]

Scientists say they've engineered a new type of dental drill designed to significantly reduce noise, which happens to be one of the leading causes of patient anxiety.

[Josh Arnold]

Does it reduce pain?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that's the thing.

[Josh Arnold]

The reason we don't like the noise is because we know it hurts.

[Christy Lee]

They used a modified turbine system, or turbine. Whichever you prefer.

[Josh Arnold]

Well.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Right now I'm going to take your teeth.

[Christy Lee]

That produces less high frequency wine while maintaining cutting efficiency. Early trials show patients report lower stress levels when the quieter drill is used.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm skeptical. I think it's the smell of the. The whatever's happening when they're doing that.

[Josh Arnold]

It's Pavlovian. The sound the enamel coming off, how it's gonna be uncomfortable, man. I. Some of those dental drills, though, are unbelievable. Like the. The tips they have for them, the bits I remember getting my braces off, and she was like, okay, I'm Gonna drill the glue off your teeth. And she goes, don't worry. The bit will go through the drill. It knows to it. It's designed so that it goes. Gets the glue off without going into your enamel.

[Christy Lee]

Crazy, man.

[Josh Arnold]

How does it know.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like those saws, that when you take the cast off, doesn't lop your arm off too.

[Josh Arnold]

They stop, but they also stop before they get. Before they get to skin. That's how that works.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I thought the saw blade knew. I know they have those. I'm kind of skeptical of this thing about them. I guess it's the noise, but.

[Josh Arnold]

Salt. Pavlov.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

If you don't like going to the.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dentist, what they need to get rid of is that. That first shot in the gum. That is that first one. That's the one that really kills.

[Christy Lee]

Put that numbing gel on. They called it pickle juice.

[Josh Arnold]

That stuff works great.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it does, but it's still. There's still a pinch, I think. I don't care for it.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about more nitrous?

[Christy Lee]

I've never done.

[Josh Arnold]

Delightful. I never have either.

[Christy Lee]

I've never even been offered it once.

[Josh Arnold]

It works.

[Bob Kevoian]

It didn't really make me feel high. Maybe the. How about the other patients in the room screaming? Maybe they're. That would be.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, that would be a.

[Bob Kevoian]

If they.

[Christy Lee]

There's also research out there into what's called the Batman effect. Do you know what this is?

[Josh Arnold]

No. I know what batwing is.

[Christy Lee]

Batman. Batwing.

[Josh Arnold]

It's when you're. You. You don't. It's when your sack sticks to your thigh on a hot summer day.

[Christy Lee]

A bat wing for ladies is part of your upper arm. The tricep is called a batwing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

When it's not very. I've never heard the sack wing. I haven't heard.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great picture because it's kind of stretched out.

[Christy Lee]

Batman effect shows that just looking at a superhero makes people more altituristic. I can't say that altruistic.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, they want to give. They want to do more for people.

[Christy Lee]

They conducted their experimental field study on the Milan subway. Milan subway. God, I can't even read today. Where they observed passengers behavior when an apparently pregnant woman boarded the train. During the experimental condition, an experimenter dressed as Batman also boarded from another door.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Researchers said over 65% of passengers offered their seats to the pregnant woman in the presence of Batman, compared to less than 40% when Batman was absent in the control setting.

[Josh Arnold]

How weird.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Does it work for all superheroes? Like would Aqua Aquaman? I'm guessing would be like a lesser.

[Christy Lee]

Do you think?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think.

[Christy Lee]

Are they offering the seat to protect.

[Bob Kevoian]

Her from the guy dressed randomly as Batman? Yeah. Or do they think. Do they say to themselves, you know, I want to be on my feet just in case lunatic dressed as Batman starts going nuts?

[Chick McGee]

You think they serve shrimp cocktail at the Justice League just for Aquaman?

[Josh Arnold]

I think he brings it.

[Chick McGee]

You think Aquaman, Aquaman, protector of the sea, brings shrimp cocktail? You don't think he'd be offended it.

[Josh Arnold]

That is a good question.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You know, I'm with you. I think they should had different superheroes on there. That would make the extreme.

[Bob Kevoian]

What were the numbers again?

[Chick McGee]

Now?

[Christy Lee]

65% when Batman was there, gave up their seat.

[Josh Arnold]

And if Wonder Woman comes on, do you offer her your seat?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

See, I do. I go, here's your seat. And I point right to my face.

[Chick McGee]

You start dusting off your beard, don't you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

One flex and she breaks your nose.

[Josh Arnold]

I am. I'm gonna pat myself on the back here a little bit. I am very, very good at giving a woman a seat when there is one. When. When I have one on the tube or on the subway, I have always stood up.

[Christy Lee]

I can see you doing it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Pregnant women though, I make stand healthier for the baby. You need your exercise.

[Christy Lee]

You don't want to crush its head or whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

And old ladies too, they need to build up that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Really, as you say, a weird study.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. And I'm with Jessica. Maybe they're just like, oh my God, that's Batman. Who's that crazy guy?

[Josh Arnold]

What about real life? Like if a soldier or a police officer, somebody in like some sort of.

[Chick McGee]

Uniform or as you said in real life.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder if the numbers would go up.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, I want you to priest and maybe like which Batman is it? I mean, is it the Adam west sort of middle aged, out of shape Batman?

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Or is it sculpted Clooney with the nipples?

[Scott Henry]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Eight pack nipple Batman point that cartoon looking costume versus. Yeah, yeah. How about Santa?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Would you if. Yeah. If you're on the subway, this is how this works, right? The subway stops, the doors open and a lady gets on.

[Josh Arnold]

A pretty lady with all of her.

[Bob Kevoian]

Magazines and shopping bags and Santa beautiful.

[Chick McGee]

Lady you like to sleep with.

[Scott Henry]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

What a weird experiment.

[Scott Henry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I think they.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet people do with if Santa. If they're in front of Santa.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Because you won't want to be naughty. You want to be nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

But he's always Watching.

[Bob Kevoian]

They should know that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't believe we're talking about something this stupid.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is really interesting, though.

[Christy Lee]

The Batman.

[Bob Kevoian]

We should try this with Santa, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, how about this? You're sitting, you've got a seat on the subway, the doors open, an 80 year old man with a cane and a 40 year old woman. Both. Come on. Do you offer your seat to the man or the woman?

[Jeff Shaw]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Man with the cane.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let him fight it out.

[Josh Arnold]

Who is more disabled?

[Chick McGee]

That's right. I think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wait a minute. Wait. What was the last part? I think you have to do it for the woman because the older man would probably do the same thing.

[Josh Arnold]

What's a stronger disability? Needing a cane or being a woman?

[Bob Kevoian]

Being a gentleman is more important, I think.

[Chick McGee]

I think Pat's right on this. You set up a fight club almost immediately.

[Christy Lee]

I did not. You did not gloss over that with me. I heard what you said.

[Christopher]

More Christmas stuff is on the way next hour. Pat's new Christmas song. And Scott Henry is on the way. But coming up next, Tom doesn't have a chair. We'll find out why coming up in just a minute here on the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bob and Tom. Close your eyes, exhale, Feel your body relax and let go of whatever you're carrying today.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I'm letting go of the worry that I wouldn't get my new contacts in time for this class. I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my gosh, they're so fast. And breathe.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, sorry. I almost couldn't breathe when I saw the discount they gave me on my first order. Oh, sorry. Namaste. Visit 1-800-contacts.com today to save on your first order.

[Jeff Shaw]

1-800-Contacts.

[Christopher]

Hope you're having a good week so far. This is the Bob and Tom show and this is Christopher in the Bob and Tom Studios. The best of Bob and Tom Christmas stuff. Now through Thursday in this segment, Tom doesn't have a chair. Let's find out why.

[Chick McGee]

There's Willie.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

And there's Tom.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right on.

[Chick McGee]

And he got a little bit, a little bit of a scratchy throat.

[Bob Kevoian]

There we go. Go.

[Chick McGee]

No, that's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Feeling fine. No, I don't have a sore throat. It's just for some reason, it's just got this sort of mellifluous base.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know what's going gut. Sexy.

[Willie]

Are you going to get some rest this weekend?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Psyched.

[Willie]

Got to get some rest.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got some rest yesterday.

[Willie]

Cancel some stuff on that calendar. Cancel some appointments. No driving, just hanging out.

[Chick McGee]

Tom almost dying and having a cow's aorta.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have a new valve in my heart made out of tissue from a cow heart.

[Chick McGee]

A cow valve. Installed aortic valve.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm not sure I let the doctor.

[Chick McGee]

That didn't make you go. You know what? I'm going to slow down when I can. No, no, You. You stopped for a while because physically, I would imagine it hurt too much.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then not only my bowels wouldn't even move there for a while, and.

[Chick McGee]

Now it's like he's mashing it down. Even. Even.

[Christy Lee]

I was thinking about this on the way in, and I don't know why I was gonna ask you, because men. Most men, one of their most valued possessions is their chair. Do you got. You have a chair, right?

[Chick McGee]

I finally got the. The. The best chair of my life.

[Christy Lee]

You have a chair, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Willie, do you have a chair?

[Willie]

A couch, man. I get the sentiment.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, so my guy has his chair, and I'm thinking, do you have a chair?

[Christopher]

Mm.

[Bob Kevoian]

Mm.

[Ken Tarmac]

Of course not.

[Christy Lee]

But you don't have a chair.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I don't have a chair, and I'm not a chair guy, and I don't have that much time to sit. The point being, I don't have that.

[Chick McGee]

Much time to sit.

[Christy Lee]

That was.

[Bob Kevoian]

So in order to get out of the hospital that you have to. Part of the deal is you kind of have to tell them you've got what you need at the house. So we had to buy one of those electric chairs that has a. Yeah, my mom has one as a lifter thing. So now I don't need it anymore. But it's. We have it. I'm now the owner of a beautiful.

[Christy Lee]

Does it. And it reclines. Correct.

[Bob Kevoian]

It reclines. The feet. But also. It's hard to explain, but when. If you sit in it, you press a button and it helps stand up.

[Josh Arnold]

How are your little daughters not constantly playing in that?

[Bob Kevoian]

I would. Oh, it's the best. But I'll tell you what.

[Chick McGee]

I elevated.

[Bob Kevoian]

I. I had to sleep in it for a couple of weeks. I couldn't get in and out of a bed. Right.

[Christy Lee]

Did you not enjoy having a chair?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, now I associate it with feel. Being sick, but it's.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you should associate it with being relaxed.

[Chick McGee]

But. Can I help you for a second? Did you hear what you said in order to get out of the hospital?

[Christy Lee]

I had.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I had to negotiate. I had to negotiate my way out, and I did a great job, and I got out too early, and had to go back in. Is that true? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You didn't know that?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

In your brain, you don't even have that much of self care, chick. You have an animal part in your body functioning to pump blood.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a little more complicated than that.

[Christy Lee]

But you need a chair. Go sit in your chair every day when you get home from work. Just relax.

[Chick McGee]

I don't care if you get a chair. Just sit down.

[Josh Arnold]

I would gu that Tom's chair is the driver's seat of his car. That he finds that very relaxing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again, Josh astute.

[Willie]

Sometimes he'll sit in there, drive around. There's a little chair in the kitchen, and sometimes he'll sit in it for like half a second, and then he falls asleep immediately. And then he wakes up and he.

[Bob Kevoian]

Goes, ah, that's also true. And I've said this before, typically no one sits in my front seat. The passenger seat.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's kind of my filing area. You know, I've got various things over there. Papers, chewing gum, glasses.

[Christy Lee]

You and the lady go out.

[Bob Kevoian]

We did last night. That I take all the stuff of the chair, put it in the back. Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Drive her car.

[Bob Kevoian]

Asking her to sit in the back would be.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that'd be rude.

[Bob Kevoian]

That wouldn't work.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, miss Daisy.

[Bob Kevoian]

You really want to ride up front now, Josh? You being a single guy? Yeah, currently. Not attached, if you will, is the passenger seat in your car got a bunch of stuff in it.

[Josh Arnold]

I think right now it's got a hat. It got my hat. That's it.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's it. Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. No, I keep a very clean car.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, my car. That's mine. My car is super clean.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Chick McGee]

Is this true, Willie?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, of course not.

[Willie]

There's the filing system. There's a million straw wrappers.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, no, no. I have a whole wastebasket system. I've got. I went to the Container Store. Everything in my car. I love the Container Store. I spent like 400 bucks buying plastic boxes.

[Willie]

No, there's like my mail in ballot from 2018 that he never sent to.

[Bob Kevoian]

Me is up there.

[Willie]

There's a bunch of stuff up there.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's not there. It's in a box.

[Christy Lee]

It's in a box in your car.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like I go to the you mail in midterms.

[Willie]

I was in Chicago and I felt guilty.

[Bob Kevoian]

What are you gonna do?

[Josh Arnold]

Barely even vote during the midterms, let alone mail in.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why bother voting anyway?

[Josh Arnold]

It really doesn't matter.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, my car's super clean. My car wash place now has this My new favorite thing, it's got this, like, little vacuum blaster. It's got a vacuum thing. But it's not just two bucks for eight minutes. And remember, it used to be to put a bunch of quarters in, and then you'd sit there the whole time looking as it counted down from three minutes. I've got eight minutes. I can vacuum. I can vacuum the guy's car next to me. Don't do that. It's got this little mini blower thing now you can blow off the dashboard.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

Get all the dust off of it. I love it.

[Willie]

Are you vacuuming other people's cars next to you?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm saying I could. I've got eight minutes. In eight minutes, I can do an entire cleanup.

[Chick McGee]

That's how it starts, though. Yeah.

[Willie]

You want to double team this, pal? Make a second quick.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you let a person who's about to go in there go, hey, I got four minutes on this.

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I went through the other day, and it was already going. And we had 23 minutes left.

[Christy Lee]

23 minutes.

[Bob Kevoian]

I even told the guy, what the hell?

[Josh Arnold]

What? Concert bus?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I said, what's going on this thing? He goes, I don't know. Oh, it was great.

[Christy Lee]

No joke.

[Bob Kevoian]

And my car was really clean.

[Josh Arnold]

My car washed myself.

[Chick McGee]

My car wash always smells like. They must have a skunk problem or something there. I don't know what's going on.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Especially maybe when you go in and you talk to some of the employees.

[Chick McGee]

Especially, you know, early weekends, we get up early. I've gotten up early for 40 years. I can't not get up. So I'm there early on a Saturday.

[Josh Arnold]

The skunky smell around.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's just like. What?

[Willie]

You know what that is?

[Chick McGee]

Darn.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, what?

[Bob Kevoian]

Willie, that might be the high school kid borrowed his dad's car Friday night. Him and the fellas grabbed a bag of reefer, had a little fun. And before they get the car back to dad in the morning, they take it to the drive through. They take it to the car wash.

[Chick McGee]

I was thinking more of the technicians.

[Josh Arnold]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Everybody who works there might.

[Bob Kevoian]

Other place I go. The technicians are great. I just want the mirror back, though. You'd pull up and there was a mirror so you could see your tire going into that groove thing. Why do you need that? Because my tires are 500 bucks a piece, and I don't want to have them ripped up by the.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they've made sure you're not going to do anything Wrong, because they put those two target balls on either side.

[Bob Kevoian]

So I want my mirror back.

[Chick McGee]

My beef is they pack a citizen there too.

[Josh Arnold]

Too close. I don't care for that.

[Christy Lee]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like it.

[Christy Lee]

I totally agree with that.

[Josh Arnold]

I will sit there and wait.

[Chick McGee]

I feign.

[Bob Kevoian]

You wait.

[Josh Arnold]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

Not being able to operate my vehicle to just get a little distance between.

[Josh Arnold]

Me, I don't even go that far.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not by a show of hands, but by a yay or nay. How many people have gone into the car wash recently with at least their sunroof partially open? Oh, yay, Yay.

[Chick McGee]

Nay, the two Griswolds.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I'll tell you what, when you do that, boy, do you know quickly because I never opened my sunroof thing. I don't like them.

[Chick McGee]

So how does it get over?

[Bob Kevoian]

I was in Kelly's car, and I forgot that she has it open all the time.

[Willie]

Oh, I have the thing where it's.

[Bob Kevoian]

By the way, don't say anything because she doesn't know that the inside of her car got a little extra, extra clean.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. She's not listening or anything.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know why her jeans are wet?

[Chick McGee]

We're talking just kind of, sort of lots of people.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, but it's that she's asleep. No one's gonna call her.

[Willie]

I'm texting you right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, where were we? Oh, we were discussing. How do we get to this? Oh, sitting down and having a chair.

[Chick McGee]

Having a rest. Take a moment. You've been sick.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm fine.

[Christy Lee]

All right, I'm gonna buy you a chair for this.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't wait.

[Bob Kevoian]

I won't sit on it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, buy me a new chair.

[Bob Kevoian]

He already has.

[Christy Lee]

You just got a new chair, didn't you?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, can you find me, like, sofa and a dinette set?

[Josh Arnold]

I've been actually, I really need a cast iron cooking sheet.

[Bob Kevoian]

I need silver.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Sheet. You know, like a cookie sheet. But I want a cast iron one.

[Edwin McCain]

They do that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Willie]

That's me.

[Bob Kevoian]

I got that one. No one else gets that one.

[Willie]

That's it.

[Josh Arnold]

I got it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I oil it up. You guys don't have to get me.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a pizza stone?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't make enough pizza at home, believe it or not.

[Bob Kevoian]

Christy, think about the time.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a pizza stone?

[Chick McGee]

Tom, you want to ask Josh if he makes pizza at home? There's a pre pizza he's already made.

[Bob Kevoian]

So he can eat it.

[Chick McGee]

All the other pizzas.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Josh Arnold]

I have to order a pizza. While I'm waiting for my pizza.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sometimes we will. We used to do it almost every weekend. We won't. The girls will make pizzas. And I'm not joking when I say this. You could buy 10 pizzas by the time you buy the dough or make the dough and buy the sauce. And it's fun, but you're making not.

[Chick McGee]

Only a pizza, but memory.

[Bob Kevoian]

So in any event, we have more news about Thanksgiving. Side dishes. Quite controversial.

[Chick McGee]

Creamed corn casserole.

[Josh Arnold]

I think there are no wrong answers.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. And I also do like it when.

[Christy Lee]

Every family has their own special thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like when people bring in their whatever. Their. Their. Their. Whatever you want to call it ethnic heritage of Greek heritage. You bring in something from that. That certainly makes sense to me.

[Christy Lee]

Bob always made grape leaves, stuffed grapes.

[Bob Kevoian]

There you go.

[Christy Lee]

Thanksgiving.

[Chick McGee]

There's a famous picture of me. Of course, my birthday is always right around and sometimes right on Thanksgiving. And my grandmother, my father's mom, the reasonable adult in my life when I was a child. She would make me a birthday cake and she'd make the turkey. On really good Thanksgivings when we were speaking to the rest of my family. Family. And there's a picture of me sitting at her table holding a turkey leg. Like it's a microphone or something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, like you're Henry viii.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's like I'm wench.

[Bob Kevoian]

More grog.

[Chick McGee]

A future radio jerk, I think is what.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's what I never understood of the people walking around Disney World holding a turkey leg. Turkey leg seems to be. Those are good. Yeah, but it's. It's inappropriate.

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Bob Kevoian]

Because you're holding a big greasy. It's not like a hot dog. Which is kind of portable and easy to eat.

[Christy Lee]

A turkey leg is pretty portable.

[Bob Kevoian]

It has heat on the bone.

[Josh Arnold]

Does have a natural handle.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Great.

[Christy Lee]

Just because you don't like it.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I just think it's a stupid thing to eat at. There's nothing.

[Chick McGee]

There's nothing you could do that would be worse than being overweight.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, that is nothing to do with it. I'm just saying it seemed. Of all the foods you could eat that are portable, that seems to be the least. Never mind.

[Willie]

Here's a conversation with my dad about.

[Edwin McCain]

Someone in my family.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie]

They had to go to rehab again. And. No, the other. Stealing things. But they lost 30 pounds and.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dang.

[Christopher]

They look great.

[Chick McGee]

He looks great.

[Bob Kevoian]

What do you think was the vote of the worst Thanksgiving side?

[Willie]

Cranberry sauce in a can.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cranberry sauce is way up there.

[Josh Arnold]

It must be. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

The number one worst side was candied yams.

[Josh Arnold]

No kidding.

[Bob Kevoian]

Those can be good.

[Josh Arnold]

They can be wonderful.

[Chick McGee]

Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. That's just putting sugar over room. Potatoes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The marshmallows and stuff.

[Christy Lee]

Number two. Guess what number two was.

[Bob Kevoian]

I agree with green bean salad.

[Christy Lee]

Green bean casserole.

[Willie]

Oh, that's Al Jackson's favorite one.

[Christy Lee]

I love green bean casserole. I grew up on that one.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can drink. You. I mean, you can have something next door to that that's full of gravy.

[Chick McGee]

You know what's coming on.

[Bob Kevoian]

Push the green bean casserole over the side.

[Chick McGee]

Here's a little snapshot into my life. I'm going to Austin for a week around Thanksgiving, my birthday, because I've had it with you people, people.

[Josh Arnold]

And so your house will be on.

[Chick McGee]

I am looking for.

[Josh Arnold]

There's.

[Chick McGee]

There's a restaurant there called the Roaring Fork.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know why, but I laugh every.

[Josh Arnold]

Of course, you have to go.

[Christopher]

[Willie]

Whether it's the movies I'm doing, whether it's the TV shows, I just tap into the truth.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's what I bring to every project. Ladies and gentlemen, Isaac Keith. People always ask, how did you make it to the NFL? How did you get into acting? There's a story behind all of that. It's about whether you're willing to tell your story or not.

[Josh Arnold]

Next role isn't about what's next. It's about why they do it next.

[Bob Kevoian]

Roll with Vernon Davis.

[Josh Arnold]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Bob Kevoian]

This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hello once again, thanks very much for joining us. Over there. That man is Chick Magee at the sports desk. Christy Lee is over there at the news desk with us in the studio, comedian Scott Henry. Scott is an actor and a comedian, and I just found something out and a voiceover guy. One of the best commercials in the super bowl last year. Well, one of them featured Jim Gaffigan, who's going to be our guest in a few minutes. Gaffigan was the. Was the security guy right at the airport. The airport security commercial wasn't a.

[Scott Henry]

Was it Sprite?

[Bob Kevoian]

Was it a commercial for airport security?

[Chick McGee]

Sierra Mist?

[Bob Kevoian]

It was a commercial. It was a commercial for Sierra Mist. I'm sorry, I'm being fl. Oh, we have a Phone call. I'm sorry, I'm being flagged down over there. Phone call. All right. Morning, Bob and Tom show.

[Ken Tarmac]

Hey, Bob and Tom, it's Kenny Tarmac. You'll never believe where I am today.

[Bob Kevoian]

Where are you?

[Ken Tarmac]

I'm stuck at the arcade at the Denver Airport.

[Chick McGee]

Oh no, they got a lot of snow.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll be there tomorrow if they open it again.

[Ken Tarmac]

Yeah, yeah, we just landed yesterday. Luckily my toiletry bag is loaded. I'm gonna walk out of here so you guys can hear me a little better. I have all the top shelf stuff. I use some aqua velvet and some brute to stay fresh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nice.

[Ken Tarmac]

Yeah, no bed head. I sprayed on the dry look about a half hour ago. We get some things cleared, we'll be able to move out of here. I'm a walk in Walgreens with all these travel sizes in my toiletry bag. Oh, I have another phone call. Can you hang on?

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Ken Tarmac]

Okay, Tarmac. Hey, Mike, take me off speakerphone. Yeah, I've been burnt before. Okay, guy. Yeah, that's why there was a memo as to, uhhuh. I'm in Denver. Get this, we just landed yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

Big yucks.

[Ken Tarmac]

I know, I know. Stuck in the big den. Hey, I gotta run. I'm on the other line. Hey, guys, I have to go back in the arcade. I'm stepping on people, okay? People laying around as they're walking around like zombies. I don't know what's keeping them. Aw, but we're all in the same boat here and there's no captain to fly us out. I learned a little trick though.

[Christopher]

What's that?

[Ken Tarmac]

Here in the arcade. What you do? You know my Bluetooth was about to die. Low battery, right? So I just came in here, unplugged the smoking token machine outside gate four. And you know, I'm back to four bars almost. Wow. Yeah, it's going great. So I can't complain about that free electricity. Okay, I got a report that there's a bus station pinball machine in here. You mind if I have a look at that machine over there that was just spent? Can I get on back there and take a look at her? Yeah, feel free. Give me a minute though, all right. Hey, look it. I'm supposed to be on break anyways. I'm just gonna leave, okay? Yeah, I know how it is. We're all in the same boat here. We just landed yesterday. That was a close one.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow. Wow.

[Ken Tarmac]

Well, I hope that little trick doesn't get out too far, but no, it's. I'll tell you what. It's quite a scene here. And this is. This is a mess. Luckily, I have my toiletry bag.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, luckily.

[Ken Tarmac]

Oh, I'm getting a page. Guys, I gotta run. I'm getting another phone call.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my God. Ken Tarmac. I was wondering how he charged the cell phone being at the airport for the last 24 hours. Yeah, he just landed. You know, he's the guy that talks too loud on his cell phone on the plane. You've met?

[Scott Henry]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I think the technology now exists where they would. They could let us use cell phones and airplanes, but I think they just know it would be the end of the world as we know it. It would be so loud in the plane, it would be awful, a nightmare.

[Scott Henry]

There's no way you could do that. They have to really play dumb on that. However, why we can't have DirecTV or satellite TV on the plane. I know they have it on Frontier and a couple of other little Jet Blue, but you gotta get on Delta Airlines. Nope, never heard of it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, I will make them. I'll defend them. I. I just want my airplane to take off and get there. I don't mind the baby's crying. I can live with that. I don't have to have a tv. I can read a book. But I. I just like him to get there. You do a nice job. We have in the studio with. Oh, I know. We were talking about something. We do have a call, though. Morning, Bob. And.

[Ken Tarmac]

Hey, guys. Good morning. This is Jason from Ferglars.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, hi, Jason.

[Ken Tarmac]

You know, screen doors.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure.

[Ken Tarmac]

Hey, Mr. Furgler's outside counting trees right now, and Matt and I were wondering if you wanted to hear the Christmas Trees and you instructional video again that Mr. Furgler played last week that we made for him. Yeah, Played a prank on him. You want to hear it outside? Yeah, because we want to play it again. I heard you talking about nice announcers and stuff and we've got our regular announcer guy for our videos. Yeah, here we go. Screen Door Productions presents Christmas Trees and you.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nothing says Merry Christmas more than a beautifully decorated Christmas tree displayed prominently in one's home. It is important to exercise proper Christmas tree maintenance safety procedures in order to maximize your holiday experience.

[Ken Tarmac]

A freshly cut Christmas tree is the.

[Bob Kevoian]

First step towards uninterrupted holiday fun as.

[Ken Tarmac]

It properly retains moisture best, unlike a tree that has been cut for some.

[Bob Kevoian]

Time, known as a dry needle. Here's Heather and Dick in their home, ready to adorn their holiday tree. Nick was unable to buy a Fresh tree this year and opted for a regular yet beautiful Christmas tree purchased cheaply.

[Ken Tarmac]

From some parking lot stand.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Ken Tarmac]

Heather can quickly see that this tree.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is a safety hazard as the needles are falling off the tree. As Dick carries it through the front.

[Ken Tarmac]

Door, Heather quickly admonishes him, you have a dry needle.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dick knows just what to do and replies, oh, yeah? Well, this Christmas tree stand isn't for the tree.

[Ken Tarmac]

It's to tie to my ass so I don't fall.

[Bob Kevoian]

A little mayhem at the burglars. Wow. So I won't fall in one of the classics. Dear Bob and Tom, I just heard your announcement that Bob is trying to develop a golf ball shaped like a woman's breast full of beer. Will it be called a Titleist? You know, that's probably the only way. Oh, I'm sorry, I missed. I misread it. That's how they pronounce it in Great Britain. Now. Yeah, I'm sorry. Comedian Scott Henry is here with us now. Scott, you did the voiceover for a.

[Scott Henry]

Michelob commercial, Michelob Ultra Amber. And I do Michelob Golden Light.

[Bob Kevoian]

Which one it on the Super Bowl?

[Scott Henry]

The one in the super bowl was the one where the. Where they're playing football out in the park.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, the boyfriend.

[Scott Henry]

I'm gonna be wide open, you know, and then she runs out there, catches the ball, and I go, the world of light beer. And then her boyfriend just crushes her. Yeah, just got a little darker. And then introducing Meloball Trainer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that was a great one. That was a great commercial.

[Scott Henry]

I was psyched. I didn't even. You know, it's funny is because I went and auditioned for it and found out the day after the super bowl that I got it.

[Bob Kevoian]

So they.

[Scott Henry]

They just took the audition and put the audition onto the spot. And it was actually two spots. They did that one. And there was another one called eight Ball. Now what you think it was a pool commercial? And then now there's like five or six more that they did which are very funny.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cool.

[Scott Henry]

They're very funny commercials.

[Josh Arnold]

And they're kind of.

[Scott Henry]

They're kind of cruel, which I find funny.

[Josh Arnold]

But.

[Chick McGee]

I'm right there with you.

[Edwin McCain]

I love those.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cruel world. Hop on board. We were talking earlier. Scott Henry is our guest. He's a comedian. Of course. We were talking earlier about your diagnosis with add. And then I guess the natural question is, are you okay with it or are you taking some kind of exotic drug to help with it?

[Scott Henry]

Well, when somebody first tells you that you have this issue, you're like, yeah. What do I do? So he gave me a medication, which I'm not gonna say the name of it, but it was. At first I took it, and it was like a miracle. I mean, after three days, I could be on the computer for hours at a time, which I could never do before. I could have conversations with people without standing inside my head going, when is.

[Josh Arnold]

This gonna be over?

[Christy Lee]

See, Tom, you could be fixed, Right?

[Chick McGee]

How many times have I said, get some help.

[Bob Kevoian]

So what happened?

[Scott Henry]

But wait. So then. Then I was feeling pretty good about life. I woke up the next morning and I put on cnn. The guy comes on, he goes, the federal government has forced the makers of MMM to put a warning on the bottle, saying it gives you suicidal thoughts. I'm like, that's a hell of a side effect.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now, wait a minute.

[Scott Henry]

Whatever happened to dry mouth or dizzy? Sure, you remember, that used to be a side effect.

[Bob Kevoian]

Even anal leakage, I can live. The potato chips that had that. Or explosive diarrhea. I'll take that. The only reason I can't have a conversation now is I've got to go to the bathroom so bad. This is really interesting. Ordinarily, I'd want to leave, but now I have to leave. Ordinarily, I'd be thinking about killing myself, but I gotta go.

[Chick McGee]

Who doesn't have suicidal thoughts anyway?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, I don't, but see, that's a big, big controversial thing with a number of drugs now, especially these people go to a psychiatrist, I've got suicidal thoughts. Well, they give them something and they commit suicide. Well, dang.

[Christy Lee]

They had suicidal thoughts.

[Chick McGee]

Technically, though, they've cleared up the problem.

[Scott Henry]

This is true.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Bob Kevoian]

However, Zig Ziglar would say there's a success story.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. Make room for Kaboom.

[Bob Kevoian]

And open up an hour at the.

[Chick McGee]

Twice the billing.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think that part of that is. There's too many lawyers out there. They have to put all these warnings and everything. In fact, they have to usually test these TV commercials. I know, but they test these things on thousands of people. And if one person experiences a side effect, they have to say, well, do they have to necessarily put it in the radio commercials? Yeah. Couldn't they say, hey, before you take this drug, we have some side effects. Ask a doctor about them. Can't they put them on the. Now the whole commercial is the side effect.

[Scott Henry]

Well, the thing is, is that. All right, fine, if this is the side. I mean. So I just remember.

[Bob Kevoian]

When did you have suicidal thoughts?

[Scott Henry]

You know what? Well, I didn't take it I didn't take it because it scared me at that point. But I mean, I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, what if it had said may cause enlargement of private parts of body?

[Scott Henry]

I would have kept taking it, but that's never the side effect.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, you take three or four times a day. Couldn't someone fake a study and say that, though?

[Scott Henry]

Oh, it would sell.

[Bob Kevoian]

Can you imagine?

[Scott Henry]

Through the roof.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not only, oh, yeah, you sit in the back of every man. They cause you to lose weight, gain hair, and extend, Suffer extended erection. Yeah, yeah, be careful and enlarge and.

[Scott Henry]

Enlarge your, you know, false advertising.

[Christy Lee]

You can't do that.

[Bob Kevoian]

What do you mean you can't do that? People have been doing it for years. Shut up. Hey, if they can grow hair, we can grow hair.

[Scott Henry]

What scares me now is that.

[Bob Kevoian]

But I finished the story. I'm concerned. So you didn't have suicidal thoughts? Well, I didn't. Maybe what's happening with it is. Maybe. Maybe you were probably suicidal and the drug just gives you enough folks to get the job done.

[Scott Henry]

That's possible for me, see, but that's.

[Bob Kevoian]

Maybe you were. So add, you couldn't figure out how to get the new stuff. You're add, you're probably thinking about killing yourself. And then you see a quarter on the floor. Is that a quarter? Is that a quarter?

[Scott Henry]

But that might.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you've never made more sense to me, and I'm very alarmed.

[Scott Henry]

That's part of the problem is I.

[Bob Kevoian]

Was like, I go with it. Part of the reason you're so funny, Scott, is that part of the reason you got a sense of humor is because you've got. What? You're distracted all the time.

[Scott Henry]

Exactly why I don't mind having add because I'm like, wait a second, there's nothing wrong with me. I'm not gonna take a medication. That's part of the reason why I stopped taking it is because find suicidal thoughts and all this other stuff and which scares me anyway because now I'm so organized, I could actually do it, you know, where before I just stand there with a gun going, what the hell am I doing? You know, what was I doing?

[Bob Kevoian]

Is there. Game on.

[Scott Henry]

But I just think, you know, people look at and go, what? You don't want to sit in an office for nine hours a day and stare at a computer? There must be something wrong with you. I'm gonna get you on medication. You know, I just don't go for that. But there's a couple of changes that I've made, though. I've made One of the things. I got a Bluetooth, all right? I got an earpiece for when I'm driving because otherwise I get so distracted.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Scott Henry]

And you got it.

[Christy Lee]

Are you guys brothers? What's the deal?

[Scott Henry]

It's part of. That's why we're in this business. It's. It's always like this.

[Bob Kevoian]

But he's the brother with the hair. Yeah. Hey, thanks, Mom. Is your mother's maiden name Griswold by any chance? No, that's me.

[Scott Henry]

Well, I bought this Bluetooth, and I love it because it's like, I was happy because now I'm not gonna put the phone up to my ear. I won't get brain cancer. I was all jolly about that, but now it scares me because I'm probably gonna get ball cancer, because that's where I put the phone now.

[Josh Arnold]

Right?

[Scott Henry]

And I'm not sure which is worse.

[Chick McGee]

Remind me not to ask her to use your phone again.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow, those studies are all fraudulent.

[Scott Henry]

You think so?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they've actually proved that. That it does not cause cancer. They do say that being near radio towers for extended periods of time causes slide speech problems. I'm sorry, but we're doing fine, Scott. Henry is our guest. Well, I'm glad you. At least you're paying attention and feeling a little bit better.

[Scott Henry]

Well, you know, they did ask me. It's funny, you know, you mentioned this, and they asked me to keep a journal while I was taking the drop drug. And I'm like, you want me to tell you what happens when someone takes this? Did you test this at all? But. And I didn't want to give a journal because I don't.

[Bob Kevoian]

Because you don't have time.

[Scott Henry]

Well, not only that, but I don't want somebody to find my journal. You know, I don't know why I worry about it, because I spell like a third grader. Anyway, you know, if you were to find my journal, you need a native American with you to go him Wind Tucker.

[Josh Arnold]

But. And.

[Scott Henry]

But I. And I'm sure. Are you a bad speller, Tom? Are you terrible speller?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm okay.

[Scott Henry]

Really. Well, you must read a lot then.

[Christy Lee]

He's an English major.

[Scott Henry]

Oh, well, then you can't. How on earth are you an English major?

[Bob Kevoian]

And you have ADD Great at faking it.

[Scott Henry]

Oh, my gosh. I suck at spelling.

[Bob Kevoian]

And it's embarrassing the kind of ADD Tom had. He actually was a history major and ended up graduating in English. Kept going to the wrong room.

[Josh Arnold]

You probably.

[Scott Henry]

You're like my friend back home. He's got a Child, that is adhd, which ADD is bad enough, but in high def, bro, that is right there.

[Edwin McCain]

Right there.

[Chick McGee]

Everything's going high def, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Everything.

[Chick McGee]

What'd you see the high def.

[Josh Arnold]

What the.

[Bob Kevoian]

I saw a high def flashlight. High def flashlight.

[Christy Lee]

How does that work?

[Bob Kevoian]

That's a good question. Everything. People on earth starting to use the HD on everything.

[Scott Henry]

It was like, extreme.

[Christopher]

Look, it's an HD iron.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just grabbed that.

[Chick McGee]

I think I def.

[Scott Henry]

Is better than 80D, because ADHD are usually people that carry through their. Whatever the job they start. They're just very fixated on. They can think of many things at once. 80 deers usually want to sleep a lot and sort of withdraw.

[Bob Kevoian]

Although I guess I got the H bug in there. Complicated. Yeah. I got one of those flashlights, though. Oh, my goodness. Like 40 bucks.

[Scott Henry]

You did.

[Bob Kevoian]

And they last for 300 years or something. Something.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Bob Kevoian]

Neat.

[Chick McGee]

Tell me how that goes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

300 years.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Scott Henry]

And I leave my flashlight, too.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's when it's on.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now you've got something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, that's very handy.

[Christy Lee]

We have to take a break.

[Scott Henry]

Oh, sorry.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, we do. Oh, sorry. Be right back. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christopher]

Coming up next here on the Best of the Bob and Tom Show, a new Pat Godwin Christmas song. You're gonna want to hear it. So come on back. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

US Soccer club.

[Scott Henry]

Reality says the odds are stacked against us.

[Josh Arnold]

To think our U.S. men's National Team.

[Bob Kevoian]

Can ever raise the world's biggest trophy.

[Scott Henry]

Be the first soccer team to beat them at football. Never.

[Josh Arnold]

But here's the thing about us.

[Scott Henry]

Refusing to accept reality is kind of our thing.

[Chick McGee]

Being unrealistic, that's not a flaw.

[Scott Henry]

It's a force. It's fuel.

[Bob Kevoian]

Because if you want to be great.

[Scott Henry]

And make history, never chase reality. Join us, soccer insiders, today.

[Josh Arnold]

Be part of the journey.

[Christopher]

It's the Bob and Tom show on a Monday morning.

[Bob Kevoian]

How are you?

[Christopher]

This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. We're doing some best of Christmas stuff between now through Thursday. A new Pat Godwin Christmas song.

[Bob Kevoian]

In this one, we've been talking about Christmas music. I'm a big fan. Fan. And we've been, for some reason, arguing about Christmas music.

[Josh Arnold]

No, we haven't.

[Bob Kevoian]

And, I mean, we all have different tastes. I, for one, Enjoy the Paul McCartney song Wonderful Christmas Time. Oh. Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

I like that.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's. For some reason, that's one of those ones that, you know, that's.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Christy Lee]

You guys don't like it.

[Bob Kevoian]

A lot of people don't. I like that very much.

[Christy Lee]

Did you see the Elton John Instagram?

[Chick McGee]

I can't imagine.

[Christy Lee]

He's walking around in his kitchen and every time he opens a cabinet. Step into Christmas. No, that's funny. It was really funny.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, everybody hates Step into Christmas, even Elton John. Count me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Count me among that number. Horrible. Yeah, that's one of those turds someone's. Hey, Elton, we need a Christmas song. I'm too busy.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it's. It's a really cute video. I'll have to find it.

[Chick McGee]

We can watch the snowfall forever and ever.

[Bob Kevoian]

Christy and I have been arguing. I say there are some great new contemporary Christmas songs.

[Christy Lee]

Wasn't the other argument.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, either way, I win. The point is, there's so many, it's.

[Christy Lee]

Hard to keep track.

[Bob Kevoian]

But, Pat, we've challenged you. Yeah. To come up with a. A new Christmas song that'll be an instant classic. I don't know what the topic is, but you. Christmas. Okay, that's all we need. There's no. There's no particular what the topic is. I mean, it's Christmas, but is it snow? Is it Grandma?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

What's all of that? It's Christmas. Okay, but Christy had said there are no new Christmas songs. And Tom comes to me yesterday. Have an idea. And I liked it.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, it goes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Run with that.

[Scott Henry]

So here we are.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've been working on it all day, all morning, a little distracted. So here we go. Twas the night before Christmas There was a stirring in the house. It could be Santa or a burglar so I went to check it out and there under the chimney was a slightly familiar face but his cheeks were sunken his red suit didn't fit Someone's lost a lot of weight. Is Santa on Ozempic? Say it isn't so he doesn't look or sound right when he says ho ho, ho. He avoids the milk and cookies his belly's not big and round he's not fat and jolly anymore no, but his cholesterol's down oh, right. He must have been diabetic and prescribed GLP1. He's quiet about the details but man, he's lost a ton no one likes a skinny Santa we want a fat snake Saint Nick so let's write Santa Claus a letter get off the Ozempic or could it be munching at all? Say it isn't so he doesn't look or sound right when he says ho ho, ho. He's gaunt and sucking cheeked and looks a little listless no One wants a thin and cranky Santa Claus get fat and jolly again for Christmas. Get off the OIC for us this Christmas. Ho, ho, ho.

[Christy Lee]

That's contemporary, all right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Easier to get down the chimney.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Instant classic.

[Bob Kevoian]

Might, might fall. Might, might fall right through to the furnace.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Christy Lee]

What kind of fireplace do you have?

[Bob Kevoian]

Old school. We were talking furnaces earlier because of the. Well, remember the movie A Christmas Story? There's that, that whole. That running gag with the furnace making all the scary noises and he has.

[Josh Arnold]

To keep running down.

[Bob Kevoian]

All the cursing. That's so funny. Then the. What was I mention? Oh, yeah, and Home Alone.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's that scary scene where he goes down the bit. Kevin goes down the basement and there's the scary.

[Josh Arnold]

Finally tells it to shut up, doesn't he?

[Christy Lee]

I think all furnaces have some kind of their own noise, their own sound.

[Josh Arnold]

As a kid, you don't know what's going on.

[Christy Lee]

Right. And your house, you have that. You know, I live in a new house. This is my first winter. And it's. There are new sounds. It's kind of.

[Bob Kevoian]

But they're different. I grew up in a house that was. Had. It was fairly old and I. And I remember I got back from school at one point and they'd replaced the furnace.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And the place that the furnace had been, where it was, the new furnace took up about a quarter of the space. They're a lot more compact. I think they're a lot quieter than they used to be. Well, yeah, there was something about those old furnaces that. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

When they fire up, made a lot of good.

[Bob Kevoian]

They made a lot of. Everyone knows. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And the pipes, you know the one then they heat up and the duct. The duct work, if you will.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, yes. It would expand and it sounded like dents coming out.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can remember. Yet my. The school. Elementary school I went to when the heat would go on and. Yeah. You'd hear that creaking all over the school.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

And. And they had the old fashioned radiators and you could put stuff on them to heat them up.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, like your wet mittens and. What?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You didn't have an oil furnace, did you? Your parents.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that why you had up in Harbor Spring Springs? We did.

[Christy Lee]

Oh. Where they had to like put it down through the basement. They would have that little shoe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that's one of my favorite stories. You know this one, if you, if you had oil heat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

You'd have a. How do I describe it? There would be like a. Like a kind of A window to your basement. Sort of.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

And there'd be this shoot. The shoot. Yeah. And there was a. There was a hookup.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And the oil truck would come hook up and it would fill the tank.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So if the other side ran to a tank.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Jeff Shaw]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

So this guy was redoing his house. This is a true story. Up Harbor Springs. And he had had the oil furnace replaced with a gas furnace.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

He had neglected to take the shoot out. And the oil company was on a regular schedule and. And he wasn't there. They came out and they hooked the truck up and flipped the switch. Filling his basement with. That was. That was. That was a tear down. Wow.

[Christy Lee]

They tore the house down.

[Bob Kevoian]

In fact, it was impregnated.

[Chick McGee]

Either that or make it a super fun site. Either way.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yikes.

[Bob Kevoian]

I wish. I wish the contemporary furnaces could. They add like a pill you could put in so it would smell like an old fashioned furnace.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Bob Kevoian]

You know that smell. You'd first turn the furnace on.

[Josh Arnold]

Possum bones. Nobody likes that smell.

[Chick McGee]

You have. You have got to.

[Josh Arnold]

That's like my least favorite day of the year is when I turn the fur the heat on for the first time. And your house smells like you've been ominous ironing moths.

[Chick McGee]

2026 is right around the corner.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just ask.

[Chick McGee]

Come with us, please.

[Christy Lee]

Speaking of movies, a recent survey shows most Brits do not consider Die Hard to be a Christmas movie.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. I thought it was Macaulay Culkin. He recently got booed at a convention for saying that.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, actually, Home Alone was named the top Christmas movie there, according to.

[Chick McGee]

There's been the video of Bruce Willis is doing something from a while ago that says Die Hard is not a Christmas. Right out of his mouth.

[Josh Arnold]

Macaulay Colgan's point was kind of interesting. He goes, you set that thing at St. Patrick's Day. It's no, it's no different. I disagree. I think the whole Christmas party feels okay.

[Christy Lee]

Absolutely. I've always thought it was a Christmas. A lot of people think that it's one of their favorite Die Hards. One of their favorite Christmas movies.

[Bob Kevoian]

And were you. Were you happy and Die Hard. I know I was. When he shot the guy, the frat boy that.

[Josh Arnold]

The cokehead.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. To make a deal with him.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. You can't wait for that guy to die.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not real Christmasy, but.

[Christy Lee]

40% defended the movie as a holiday classic. 5% chose it as their favorite film. Once again, Home Alone named the top Christmas movie. This was in Britain, followed by Love. Actually 10%. It's a Wonderful Life. 10%. And. And of course, Josh's favorite elf in at 5%.

[Bob Kevoian]

Love actually is also divisive.

[Chick McGee]

Now give us the.

[Christy Lee]

In this room, it is.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I'm a big fan, Josh.

[Christy Lee]

I am, too.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it is terrible, but it makes a lot of people happy. What are you gonna do?

[Christy Lee]

It makes me cry. I can't watch it now after hearing Josh break it down about it's.

[Scott Henry]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

There's not a real human being in it.

[Bob Kevoian]

It makes me sad.

[Chick McGee]

Rowan Atkinson, the salesperson.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he's a couple funny things there.

[Christy Lee]

Liam Neeson ruining his wife's life. Come on.

[Josh Arnold]

It's nothing. I mean, it's.

[Christy Lee]

No, no. It's actually the other guy, but it makes people. Alan Rickman. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like this where Josh gets everybody mad instead of me for you.

[Christy Lee]

What makes the perfect Christmas movie, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I think Home Alone is.

[Christy Lee]

No, I mean, what would make the perfect.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm about to say, I think Home Alone is. Is one of the. One of the. That's such a great Christmas movie is because it is fun and exciting and it has a real heart to it.

[Christy Lee]

Heartwarming story number one is on the list. 30% of the people, in many ways.

[Bob Kevoian]

Which ones do you watch?

[Josh Arnold]

Every year I watch Scrooged, Christmas Vacation, Home Alone. Both Home Alones. Well, I know there are more than 2, but 1 and 2? I like to watch Trading Places.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Ackroyd in a Santa suit on a bus crazily eating a salmon. It's not the holidays until I see that.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And Die Hard. I try to watch every year. I don't always. Gremlins is often forgotten. That's. That's over the Christmas season.

[Bob Kevoian]

You also profoundly dislike elf, Is that correct?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't. I. Look, elf is fine. It's not. It's overrated. It is where I'm at.

[Bob Kevoian]

What would you personally put at number one Christmas movie?

[Josh Arnold]

That is. That's.

[Chick McGee]

I gotta go. It's a Wonderful Life. I gotta go.

[Josh Arnold]

It's great.

[Chick McGee]

I got to.

[Josh Arnold]

It's fantastic. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I go. Christmas Story.

[Chick McGee]

I guess it's been revealed or brought to my attention that he. When he cries during Christmas Story. That wasn't supposed to happen, but he just come back from World War II. Flying missions in World War II.

[Josh Arnold]

So, like, when he's, like, all tense and kind of yelling at his family.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Like, he really channeled this, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Miracle on 34th Street's pretty wonderful.

[Josh Arnold]

There's also a very little. Little scene. Classic with Robert Mitchum and Janet Lee and I, and so I, I, right now I even forget the name of it. That's just wonderful. I'll find that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll find out the name Psycho Santa.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, that's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Santa attacks the shower or Tony Perkins.

[Josh Arnold]

Shop around the Corner is just wondering. Wonderful. That's a great. I try to watch that every year.

[Chick McGee]

Is that the Hallmark?

[Josh Arnold]

No, that's Jimmy Stewart and they run a little store on Christmas. And that's. Is that you've got mail.

[Christy Lee]

You've got mail is. Yes. From that. Okay. Holiday affairs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Holiday affair. If you ever get a chance, watch the TCM shows it a couple times a year. Okay. Lovely.

[Christopher]

Coming up next hour, a Christmas tree keg stand and comedian Jeff Shaw is in the studio. But some Christmas lights told coming up next. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Happy holidays from all of us here at the Bob and Tom Show. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. We've got the best of Bob and Tom Christmas stuff between now through Thursday, some Christmas lights talk here.

[Chick McGee]

Stupid.

[Christy Lee]

World record.

[Josh Arnold]

A tiny horse in Germany has been officially recognized as the world's shortest living horse male, by the way, I'd like.

[Bob Kevoian]

To the way that's worded.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And that's the text from the Guinness World. It wasn't the, the horse that was alive for the shortest period of time.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's the, it's the smallest horse currently alive. I guess in, in the past they've had some shorter ones, but you understand what I'm saying. It's not like the time span of. Okay, sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

According to the Guinness World Records, the horse called Pumuccle, it's P U M U C K E L.

[Bob Kevoian]

Or pumicle.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm going to call him Pumpernickel because I like that better. I do, too. He measures just 21.1 inches tall, overtaking the previous record holder at 22.36 inch tall from Poland. He was not bred to be the size he is, but that his small stature is simply a quirk of nature. Oh, we're going with quirk now as opposed to mistake.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's in a wheelbarrow in this picture. Look how teeny he is.

[Josh Arnold]

He's trained as a therapy horse and visits nursing homes, schools and facilities for people with disabilities. He's in constant pain. His handlers say that he is a very lovable character. He's incredibly good with children and he loves being scratched and cuddled.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cute little guy.

[Josh Arnold]

He is cute.

[Bob Kevoian]

When he dies, that's they'll make him a glue stick.

[Josh Arnold]

That's what happens to the smaller horses. They just become the stick. He's very sweet.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're gonna need a little tiny jockey to ride that little guy.

[Josh Arnold]

They make those too.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, if he breaks a leg, they should take him out with the BB gun. Gun.

[Josh Arnold]

It's really. It's really something. They have a child's tent they put him in and.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pat. Now you can say you're hung like a horse. Hey, I could.

[Christy Lee]

He was a male horse.

[Josh Arnold]

He's cute.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, there's. There's a. The photograph of him actually standing. You can see sweet little guys. Legs all work. Do they? But they.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's not like a horse with no legs. That would.

[Bob Kevoian]

Would. So is this like a. It says that these. He wasn't bred to be this way. This has to be some kind of a breed.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they have miniature.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, Right.

[Josh Arnold]

But the story did say this was an accident.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's not like, you know, his mother is Seabiscuit or whatever.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, no, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's not a Shetland pony.

[Christy Lee]

It's from a miniature horse breed.

[Chick McGee]

It's just.

[Christy Lee]

He's very small.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

For even that breed.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cute little guy. Now, speaking of horses, if we could segue over to Christy Lee. Did you see the horror story involving the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?

[Christy Lee]

Viral footage captured at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade shows dancers performing while stepping in piles of horse manure. That's right. NYPD horses pooped on the road before the dancers performed. But they still danced it out.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they did.

[Christy Lee]

You can see them performing their routine amid the clearly visible piles of horse feces on the ground. The folks commentating, if that's the word, it's commenting. Yes. Were sympathetic to the dancer's blight and chastised parade organizers for not doing more to keep the area clean for them. Many comments also highlighted the high cost of dance shoes, suggesting that a third party should be responsible for cleaning or replacing any footwear that was ruined during the performance.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm just glad it wasn't the Rockettes.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh. Just flinging into the crowd.

[Ken Tarmac]

Oh, man.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I was just talking to Mark from our staff, who's. Mark's wife is a very good dancer and instructor.

[Josh Arnold]

She's.

[Bob Kevoian]

She literally has flown all over the world to judge dance competitions. She was in this once in this parade, and he was telling me that these ladies and gents, I guess, are out in the cold for hours before they get to the part where they get to dance.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know how they do it.

[Bob Kevoian]

And they're typically wearing really skimpy. So they're freaking freezing.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then they get up to the main stage and it's full of. Why they don't have an area where the horses can't go. Would be.

[Christy Lee]

Well, usually at those parades, because I've had to be in a couple of parades. They have a person right behind the horse, like Rocky and bowling, like, scooping it up as they go. So I'm shocked that they didn't have that.

[Bob Kevoian]

But do we have some of the. Okay, there's. Here's some of the. Oh, the poor thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I mean, they're. Oh, they're clogged. They're barefoot. It looks as though they're barefoot. They are.

[Bob Kevoian]

They are barefoot.

[Josh Arnold]

They're just mashing it up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got little slippers on. They got slippers on, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. They're in nude colored ballet shoes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah. It just looks barefoot.

[Bob Kevoian]

These are the. The solid brown dancers.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they.

[Bob Kevoian]

They used to be the solid gold.

[Josh Arnold]

That is awful. It's Michael Shatley's Lord of the Dance.

[Christy Lee]

Poor girls.

[Bob Kevoian]

I thought they were women. Those are the tiny girls.

[Christy Lee]

They were. They were young.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think it's great that they have these bands and other things, but they've. That's just. They don't need to have the horses go in the. There needs to be a cordoned off area when they do that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I love the band.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sometimes the horses have a basket that can kind of hang behind it, but it's the NYPD horses. So you want it to be able to take off and run if need be. I don't think.

[Christy Lee]

Can you run with a bag basket.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, you know the name of that dance. The name of that dance, by the way, it's similar to the jitterbug, but starts with a. Starts with a different sound. That's just awful.

[Josh Arnold]

Could have been worse. They could have been breakdancers spinning on their heads.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Break dancing is bad enough on its own without having to deal with having to deal with that. Okay, well, we're gonna get some of the Bob and Tom Christmas classics on Friday for you. Throughout the month of December, we always. We always enjoy playing.

[Christy Lee]

Did you have a big ceremony at your house to flip the switch to turn the lights on Thanksgiving night just like.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, we didn't. Because we didn't. We got the tree the day after Thanksgiving.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. That's pretty.

[Bob Kevoian]

And check local listings. It was because we knew that the cold weather was coming, so we were able to get there early. We got a Great trip three. And then. But the thing is, you. You have. You get all the lights in a string and you put them all together to make sure they're all working. And then you put them on so they're. I guess we could have turned it off and then come back down and relit it, but we didn't do a big ceremony.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

There was a ceremony done here in town in which just before they lit the tree, they went to commercial by mistake.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Somebody. Somebody got a stern talking.

[Bob Kevoian]

It was. Throw the switch and then it cuts to commercial. Sometimes maybe you don't want to have a part timer on the. On the board during.

[Josh Arnold]

Who knows what happened.

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Who knows? That was a live break.

[Josh Arnold]

But it was unfortunate. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Neither.

[Bob Kevoian]

They'll remember that one.

[Josh Arnold]

Sat through. Sat through a lot to wait for.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like the time the fireworks went off in Harbor Springs in the late afternoon. There's still. You get to see the smoke.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not as exciting. Exciting during the. During the day. You see.

[Christopher]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now, how about a. How about a Christmas classic?

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

What do you say? Here. Here we go. One of the. From the Bob and Tom Band and Orchestra. What the hell? This isn't what it's supposed to be.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Bob Kevoian]

Could you get a machine.

[Jeff Shaw]

Over there?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I asked Jason. I asked Jason to. I want a new machine. I hate this thing. It only gives you the first, like, 10 letters of what the thing is.

[Josh Arnold]

So I have egg in my mouth because I thought we were going to be able to enjoy a song.

[Bob Kevoian]

It just says Christmas in. Oh, well, this. See, when the bells went on too long, I went, wait a minute. This isn't a Tom production.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he wouldn't.

[Josh Arnold]

He claimed it was the Bob and Tom Orchestra.

[Bob Kevoian]

What was that we were hearing? What was.

[Josh Arnold]

That was the Christmas in Hell, apparently. You got to play. Nobody would have minded. I was like, oh, I must have missed this deep cut.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, now, what are we doing?

[Bob Kevoian]

With our leaders in our hands, we can get near this classic. Hi, I'm Mark Christopher Roman, host of the nationally syndicated program Bass Talk. Oh, base Talk.

[Scott Henry]

For years, people have asked me, mark Christopher Rohrman, why isn't there a Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Album with just bass? Well, now there is. You love bass. You'll be amazed by the amazing new Christmas cd. Amazing bass. Just listen. I can't hear it. Be quiet.

[Josh Arnold]

It's back to the basics.

[Bob Kevoian]

Year for the children.

[Scott Henry]

My young son Nikki loves Christmas.

Amazing bass rocks.

Lots of toys. Girls and boys.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't Wait till it's too late.

[Scott Henry]

Order right now to get your CD.

[Bob Kevoian]

In time for Christmas delivery.

[Scott Henry]

It's like my boy Nikki always says.

I like it because it's just bass, but the cars and drums are for losers. Turn up the bass.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Turn up the bass. Amazing bas.

[Josh Arnold]

Nothing says happy new year like the bass.

[Josh Arnold]

This will be a fun month.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I. I don't know how to tell what these are.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, well, somebody will tell you.

[Christy Lee]

It doesn't say. What's to say?

[Bob Kevoian]

It'll just has like the first 10 letters, then you've got to figure out the rest.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. You'll do fine.

[Christy Lee]

Are the first 10 letters.

[Josh Arnold]

You did fine last year before.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, see, it used to be. It's. I can. It's hard to. When you would land on one of these, it would give you the full thing at the bottom.

[Christy Lee]

Ah, gotcha.

[Bob Kevoian]

And now it no longer does that. Okay, so. So thanks. Thanks very much for. I'd like to destroy this computer.

[Christopher]

Coming up next here on the Bob and Tom show, comedian Jeff Shaw. And what we want for Christmas, you won't believe it, it's coming up next here on the Bob and Tom show.

[Bob Kevoian]

He is comedian Jeff Shaw.

[Josh Arnold]

Jeff, good to meet you.

[Jeff Shaw]

Hi, everybody. Thanks for me having. Having me.

[Bob Kevoian]

He kind of reminds me of.

[Christy Lee]

There we go. Go ahead.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy. I know what he's gonna say in the movie. Love, actually. Oh, the bill.

[Chick McGee]

Bill Nigh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bill Nighy, the guy that plays the singer.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I see that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Kind of.

[Chick McGee]

That we need to say a younger Bill Nighy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, God.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just. You know what I'm saying? Am I right?

[Josh Arnold]

Christmas is all around us.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I forgot that feeling that grow, man. That love. Actually. What a great movie, right, Josh?

[Jeff Shaw]

Well, I went to a guitar store a few years ago and this teenage boy thought that I might be Getty Lee from Rush.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah.

[Jeff Shaw]

And when I told him that I wasn't, I kind of bummed him out. And I was kind of bummed out too, because the only thing worse than being a goofy looking dude with long hair and a high voice is being the wrong. Goofy looking dude with long hair and a high voice.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jeff Shaw]

Are you the bass player from Rush? No, I'm the lead singer from REO Speedwagon.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You could do it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, you could pull it off. You'd be very good as posing as a rock star.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We've had people pose and successfully get away with it, but you have to choose wisely.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. If you're gonna pose as somebody, you gotta go, yeah, like bass player Y from Marshall Tucker Band or something. You can. You can. Not to say that he isn't a great bass player.

[Christy Lee]

It's just that he's not a household.

[Bob Kevoian]

Name in the world of sort of. Especially with people subbing for. For, you know, deceased members of the band. You never know.

[Jeff Shaw]

Well, I'm a big fan of, like, 80s hair metal and 70s progressive rock. And so that's why I think I look manlier with long hair than I do with short hair. Like, when I have long hair, strangers like, wow, I bet that guy teaches guitar. But when I have short hair, strangers like, wow, I bet that lady coaches soccer.

[Bob Kevoian]

I see Jeff Shaw is a. Our guest. We'll get back to Jeffrey in a matter of moments. And you're a J, E, F, F, not a G, E, O.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yes. Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is there a distinction that I need to know?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know, but my cousin's a Geo, and everybody makes fun of him. And I don't know why. I mean, they're kind of due by the. I mean by his. Because of his name. And I don't know why. Well, one time I went, what's wrong with Joffrey?

[Jeff Shaw]

I went to Starbucks to get a skinny latte because I'm a skinny Hotte. And. And barista said, sir, can I have your name for the cup? And I said, yes, it's Jeff. And she said, is that Jeff with one F or two Fs? And I said, two Fs? Good catch. Because I'd hate to see what would happen if you only wrote down one F on my cup. Skinny decaf latte for Jeff. Skinny decaf latte for Jeff. Is there a Jeff? Oh, excuse me, miss. Are you saying Jeff, or are you saying Jeff? Because it sounds like you're saying Jeff with one F, and I'm Jeff with two Fs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Anybody else have a problem with when you go, they. They put your name in the cup? And then people walk up to the thing and they're. They're grabbing everyone else's cups looking for the name, for the name. And I go, well, I just. The guy who was just picking his nose just grabbed my Good barista name.

[Josh Arnold]

Out always so that people don't have to do that. Ah, that's, that's their fault.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm surprised the health department allows them to do that.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm surprised the health department allows you in the building.

[Christy Lee]

I am too.

[Jeff Shaw]

And I learned that it doesn't help to try to be funny when putting your name on the cup. I went to a different Starbucks, different barista goes, hey, bro, can I have your name for the cup, bro? And I go, yeah. The name is a five time Emmy award winning actress, Jane lynch, bro. Kid didn't get the joke because like five minutes later I hear skinny decaf latte for five time Emmy award winning actress Jane lynch, bro. I'm like, like, dude, I was kidding. And he goes, oh, now you tell me. That was a long name you made me write, bro.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do you always give your real name?

[Christy Lee]

Me?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. No. What do you tell them, Christie? Do you spell it? Very funny. Do you go to the time and trouble to go with a K?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't. I, I, I go spell any way you want.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've given them, I go with Pasqual all the time. Pas. Pasqual.

[Christy Lee]

Why do you make them?

[Bob Kevoian]

That's Italian for because it's fun. It's a fun morning.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, I've gone with Chuck.

[Christy Lee]

Have you?

[Chick McGee]

And the lady asked, is that Doug? And I said yes. Yes, it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So now I just say Doug.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now we have to move forward here. We'll get back to Jeff sh momentarily. But first, Christy Lee, what's happening over there at the Silac insurance news desk?

[Christy Lee]

Well, thank you for asking. Patrons at a New Zealand bar got quite the surprise when a baby seal wandered into the establishment. The curious creature trotted into the Sprig and Fern craft beer bar in Richmond where it lodged itself under the dishwasher. Owner Bella Evans told the AP Associated Press that she managed to lure the seal pup into a dog crate with some salmon the pub was offering as a special pizza topping that day Day Conservation rangers.

[Josh Arnold]

Everybody loves a nice salmon p. I know, right?

[Christy Lee]

Conservation rangers eventually arrived, captured the seal, released it on the nearby rabbit island. Well, shouldn't it be Seal Island?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they should have drink it Seal Island.

[Chick McGee]

Which would you rather have, a salmon pizza or Hawaiian pizza?

[Josh Arnold]

Hawaiian, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hawaiian.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Salmon pizza doesn't sound appetizing. I don't know. Well, I'd have to try it. You never know. But back to the seal. So there's a live seal and a bar?

[Christy Lee]

Yep. And the department of conservation was saying that the bar staff did A great job keeping the little seal safe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you see the bartender went up to him and said, why the long face? And the seal said, hey, I'm in the wrong joke.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. What are you talking about?

[Bob Kevoian]

And of course, maybe the seal was out for the night. He had heard about clubbing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. I was going to say, there's got to be club in there with me if you got a baby seal.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure, sure. You know what you call a baby seal in Russia?

[Chick McGee]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

I don't want to know.

[Bob Kevoian]

Half a pair of boots.

[Josh Arnold]

Half a pair of boots. It takes one baby seal to make one boot.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bunch of mammal lovers.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Few things cuter than seals.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I know baby seals. Those cute.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Every go to a black Labrador retriever, My heart just left.

[Chick McGee]

Doesn't have to be.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we all heard black lady. He's done. This is his way of retiring.

[Bob Kevoian]

A black Labrador retriever.

[Chick McGee]

In my defense, I heard it and tried to move along as fast as I could.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, you take a black Labrador retriever, pin his ears back and go, I'm a seal.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, they. Yeah, they're very canine.

[Chick McGee]

Do it with any dog, you know.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it's got to be a black one. Seals come in one color.

[Chick McGee]

That's not what baby seals are.

[Josh Arnold]

White.

[Chick McGee]

Aren't they little?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, they are white.

[Bob Kevoian]

So ever go. Ever go up to an English cream golden retriever, pull his ears back and go, I'm a seal? A baby seal. Only it works if they're puppies. Next.

[Christy Lee]

Jackie Vernon, the comedian and voice actor of Frosty the Snowman in the 1969.

[Chick McGee]

Holiday classic, is still alive.

[Christy Lee]

Well, he's always something.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, Lucky he's not.

[Christy Lee]

He is alleged to have had at least three secret families.

[Christopher]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Yep. David Vernon, one of Jackie's children with Hazel Vernon.

[Chick McGee]

How long's Jackie been dead? And they feel like they need to bring this up. Said the guy who might have more. Five or six.

[Christy Lee]

Six other family share Share this revelation Chick. During an appearance on the Nostalgia Tonight with Joe Sibilia podcast, he recalled learning of his late father's other families when an unknown woman and her son showed up at the Vernon home sometime before Jackie's death in 1987. In addition to the revelation that his father had been married at least three other times, Jackie Vernon also had several other sons. David explained, from these marriages, he had sons, and he named them all Ralph, after his original name, Ralph Vernon or Ralph Verone. I'm sorry. But he also abandoned all these families and moved on. My mom Wasn't even sure if he divorced one of the women or if he was married to another one. So. It's kind of confusing, huh? What's going on here?

[Chick McGee]

If you think this is something, just stick around for my funeral.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

The parade.

[Josh Arnold]

Parade of women.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my gosh. Who the hell's that? Yeah. In Roy Wood Jr's book, he talks about having some Jackie Vernon as a father.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that'd be something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Some other brothers.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So, I mean, the most famous, I guess one of these is the. Is the Charles. The guy that had the two families. They didn't know about each other.

[Christy Lee]

It'd be hard to do that these days.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, with cell phones and air tags.

[Christy Lee]

And knowing where people are all the time. Time.

[Bob Kevoian]

And Pat's got his guitar out. What's happening? I forgot I wanted to play a little bit of it. For those of you that don't remember Jackie Vernon as Frosty the Snowman, we have just a little bit.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, I remember. I'm okay. I'm good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Happy birthday.

[Chick McGee]

Hey.

[Josh Arnold]

I said my first words.

[Bob Kevoian]

But.

[Chick McGee]

But snowmen can't talk.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, come on now.

[Josh Arnold]

What's the joke?

[Scott Henry]

Could.

[Bob Kevoian]

Could I really be alive? I mean, I can make words.

[Josh Arnold]

I can move.

[Chick McGee]

Not anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

I can juggle.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can. You get the idea.

[Josh Arnold]

I can cheat on my wife.

[Christy Lee]

I can have multiple wives, multiple families.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who knew?

[Chick McGee]

Frosty grew up in Eastside, New York.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was an odd choice, right? But.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he kind of looked like Jackie Vernon, though. They drew him very.

[Chick McGee]

And Rankin or Bass must have known Jackie or something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, the top hat, the whole. Okay, you have a song. Frosty the Voice guy kept many secrets hid Everyone thought he had one wife but he had many wives and kids his name was Jackie Vernon and he had three or four families A son named David and three other Ralphs From Maine to Tennessee Jackie was a copy Many seeds were sowed he knocked up a girl in Poughkeepsie Married her and hit the road. Frosty the Voice guy was as sneaky as he could be. It was big of him to keep them all. He said no.

[Josh Arnold]

That's big of me. I love that Frosty. Don't you guys watch it every year?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Nope. No.

[Christy Lee]

I thought you were a ranking basketball. No.

[Chick McGee]

The Red haired Santa Claus, which I'm not sure which one that is, is Rud.

[Christy Lee]

What are you talking about?

[Chick McGee]

There's a one where young Santa Claus and he's got red hair.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

And I think it's who does his voice. Tom, help me. No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Donald O. Conor Carrot Top the Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, the Carrot Top Christmas Thompson.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, I hate all of you. Ran. And that's their most famous one is.

[Christy Lee]

The Rudolph, of course. Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Which kind of a primitive animation.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but it's still.

[Josh Arnold]

Still wows me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, no, it's great. I. I personally preferred in fact.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's great.

[Christy Lee]

But speaking of Christmas, a new poll reveals what people really want this year.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

What do you think? The Talker research survey of 5,000Americans found nearly 60% refer to receive.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not trying to be. I'm not. Is nothing on the list?

[Christy Lee]

Nope.

[Josh Arnold]

I tell my mom that every year. Don't worry about it, Mom. Don't give me anything. She insists on.

[Bob Kevoian]

What does she. What did you get you last year?

[Josh Arnold]

Something I don't even use.

[Bob Kevoian]

Remember Echo Salad shooter?

[Josh Arnold]

One of those spying devices you put in your house?

[Bob Kevoian]

Are you kidding?

[Josh Arnold]

Like an echo. Whatever.

[Christy Lee]

Like a echo show.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not.

[Bob Kevoian]

You don't like that.

[Josh Arnold]

And she knows I'm against.

[Christy Lee]

Bought a new one. I could have gotten yours for free.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, she knows I'm against all that stuff that can be used against me.

[Christy Lee]

In a court of law.

[Ken Tarmac]

She.

[Bob Kevoian]

She likes to give you stuff that you never do. You tell her I'm never going to use any of this stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

I did not tell her I would never use that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tupperware.

[Christy Lee]

Tupperware.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, is that funny, Ace.

[Chick McGee]

That is ironic, isn't it?

[Christy Lee]

You are so mean.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just a joke. I. I like Tupper. Words handy.

[Chick McGee]

You know, Mickey Rooney was Santa Claus and Santa Claus is coming to town. And it went way back when he was young and he had red hair. He had red hair in a beard. Oh, you don't remember that one?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Christy Lee]

I do.

[Chick McGee]

That's a ranking pass.

[Christy Lee]

60% prefer to receive cash.

[Josh Arnold]

The year without Santa Claus.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's.

[Josh Arnold]

They want cash. 60%?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they want cash. Respondents wished for an average of. About. How much money do you think they want in cash?

[Josh Arnold]

50.

[Bob Kevoian]

All of it.

[Christy Lee]

$600.

[Josh Arnold]

What the hell are they. They're talking collectively.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, first of all, what want do you for Christmas? 600 bucks.

[Chick McGee]

That is a nice figure.

[Christy Lee]

Right?

[Josh Arnold]

I hope they're not listening, but if one of my little nieces I said, hey, what do you want for Christmas? She looked at me and just said, $600 cash. I would laugh so hard. I would laugh so hard.

[Chick McGee]

I would laugh so hard. I would absolutely.

[Jeff Shaw]

Are we.

[Bob Kevoian]

Are we taping this? I'm about to send a tape.

[Chick McGee]

So all of Josh's Needs the big Lebowski. I tell her I'm going to an 18.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right now.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

Just a tiny face looking up at you. $600.

[Bob Kevoian]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Dear Arbitrary figure.

[Jeff Shaw]

At our house, every year, it's the same. Like, I give my mom 50 bucks, she gives my sister 50 bucks, she gives me 50 bucks. I give my other sister 50 bucks. Give my dad 50 bucks, it gives me 50 bucks. I'm like, are we exchanging gifts or are laundering money for the elf mafia?

[Josh Arnold]

I like the idea of an elf mafia.

[Christy Lee]

Apparel and accessories ranked in second place, with casual attire and shoes being the most popular. Clothing.

[Bob Kevoian]

I find that very surprising.

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean.

[Bob Kevoian]

Clothes? When I was a kid, I hated getting clothes for Christmas.

[Scott Henry]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think kids still. I think they would prefer other things.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think. In all the decades we've sat here, what was your favorite gift you ever received for Christmas? Before the age of 50, I'd really.

[Bob Kevoian]

Have to think about. I remember I really liked the vacuum form.

[Chick McGee]

It was the one that smelled like the house.

[Willie]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

You heat it up and you'd put these. These squares were like pieces of. Of pre wrapped cheese.

[Chick McGee]

That's the incredible time machine.

[Bob Kevoian]

You'd put them in this thing, turn it on, and then it would. It how? I didn't burn the house down, but in the TV commercial, it made these plastic toys that you'd see them flying around on their own. In fact, it made really crappy toys. But I. I was. I looked forward to that one, and it turned out to be kind of a disappointment. I don't know. But, I mean, I didn't want to get a sweater.

[Chick McGee]

BB gun for me.

[Christy Lee]

BB gun.

[Chick McGee]

Dad got me a BB gun. Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

What age would you say?

[Chick McGee]

11? 12. Oh, 10.

[Josh Arnold]

11.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you go in the backyard and shoot cans?

[Chick McGee]

No, I. I shot at the Bumpuses out in the back.

[Christy Lee]

Shot your eye out.

[Chick McGee]

They told. Everybody told me you. You put your eye out.

[Christy Lee]

Put your eye out.

[Chick McGee]

No, I did get a BB gun.

[Bob Kevoian]

But as an adult. You like getting close clothing Depends on.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What else would you get somebody as a gift? If you're. I mean, intimate gift would be clothing, I would think.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Would you buy a. A significant other?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Specifically yours?

[Josh Arnold]

Clothing?

[Chick McGee]

No, of course not.

[Christy Lee]

I've heard, but that's you.

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Unless. Unless I'm given a link with very specific colors, sizes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not guessing the wrong size again.

[Bob Kevoian]

If it doesn't have. If it doesn't have jewelry, it's not going to be worn. I'm not gonna. I can't.

[Chick McGee]

Does this say double X?

[Christy Lee]

Having their bills paid. Came in third place among those polls.

[Josh Arnold]

They want to just pay my bills.

[Bob Kevoian]

That is the. How do you wrap that?

[Christy Lee]

How romantic is for how long?

[Chick McGee]

Like a month?

[Christy Lee]

I don't. It doesn't say.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's terrible.

[Christy Lee]

We'll have more coming up on this.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you very much.

[Christy Lee]

We'll have the.

[Jeff Shaw]

The.

[Christy Lee]

The brand's most coveted. Which I am. I take. I don't know about this list, but.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I see. You mean like. Like I got. You do What? What's the brand you most covet?

[Christy Lee]

Me?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy. Probably Ralph Lauren. I'm a big Ralph Lauren girl.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna go Magnum.

[Chick McGee]

I'm gigantic.

[Josh Arnold]

No, meaning I. I covet it because I don't. Jealous.

[Bob Kevoian]

Jealous.

[Josh Arnold]

I wish my wiener were larger.

[Bob Kevoian]

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

[Christy Lee]

They're beautiful. Each pair is eye flawless near color. They have the nice backing so they don't fall off of your ear. Steven's full value lifetime trade in also comes with the Anita diamond studs. That means you can trade in your studs anytime and get exactly what you paid towards a larger pair.

[Chick McGee]

Trade it in stud.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So go to ihatestevensinger.com and by the way, free shipping to arrive in time for Christmas ends at 2pm Eastern time today. So this is a no brainer act right now and experience the difference at Steven Singer Jewelers. Where do you find him, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Online, of course. [e-mail].

[Bob Kevoian]

Get it before he realizes what a mistake he's making.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I hate stephensinger.com. go there now.

[Christopher]

On the way in just a couple of minutes, a Pat and Willie song. Stand by for that. Here on a Monday morning. We're coming back. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, I'm Josh Arnold. You know when the holidays roll around, I tend to snack more and well, I'm beginning to look a lot like Santa. Every time I eat, my beard is growing long and white. These red pants are getting tight. Pass me the butter, the gravy and the meat.

[Christy Lee]

He's beginning to look a lot like.

[Josh Arnold]

Santa, you think so?

[Bob Kevoian]

Watch his belly grow.

[Josh Arnold]

Leave me some milk and cookies, please.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's splitting his DVDs and shouting ho ho ho.

[Josh Arnold]

I ate a pizza or two and a bucket of stew and a stick A stack of gingerbread pies an eggnog shake and a juicy steak and a basket of greasy fries and now it seems I'm blubbery in my buttocks and my thighs I'm beginning to look a lot like Santa that's what the kids all say and they all want to be Sitting on his knees and riding hiding in my sleigh.

[Bob Kevoian]

He'S beginning to look a lot like Santa and that's.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay with me he has no self control I'm moving to the North Pole.

[Bob Kevoian]

Cause that's where Santa should be all.

[Josh Arnold]

Jolly and plump and Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

The sea.

[Christy Lee]

Is that Santa Claus? No, that's Josh Arnold.

[Bob Kevoian]

Happy holidays.

[Christopher]

This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. This is the best of the Bob and Tom show. How about a Pat and Willie song? It's coming up in this segment.

[Bob Kevoian]

I really enjoyed your song yesterday, Pat, but I thought maybe we could start with something a little different. You. I think you and Willie have one because that's. Is that one you guys are ready to do. I think we could do it.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie can do anything.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Harmonizes.

[Christopher]

Great.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, to start to get to the song, Christy, there is a ridiculous press release from the Miller Beer people.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's military.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know if you saw this. They have created something that is truly ridiculous.

[Christy Lee]

The world's first Christmas tree keg stand for the holiday season.

[Chick McGee]

Love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Fun.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it a lot.

[Christy Lee]

The Bear brand said the limited edition item quote is a fully functioning tree stand designed to fit perfectly around a quarter barrel keg of Miller Light.

[Chick McGee]

I puked. In the present.

[Christy Lee]

It can support up to a five foot tree. So the little.

[Bob Kevoian]

So it's perfect for that one. Uncle that.

[Christy Lee]

What a great idea.

[Bob Kevoian]

Come on down, kids. Uncle Joe, Put your pants on.

[Josh Arnold]

My family.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad. Chugs a beer with breakfast. I guess the logic is Jesus turned water into wine, so he'd probably approve of the beer.

[Ken Tarmac]

Sure, sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hilarious. It's a gigantic tree stand.

[Josh Arnold]

And you know Santa wants a beer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Every now and again and then this tree stand, it. It's up. Goes up pretty high so that it's pretty cute. The tree is going to hit the ceiling of your trailer. I think if.

[Josh Arnold]

I see. You know what?

[Willie]

I'd be classist and not funny at all.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sure that the Miller Light Texas Christmas tree stand is found in the finest of homes.

[Chick McGee]

There has to be somebody out there who cut a hole in their trailer to accommodate their Christmas tree.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great sight gag. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen. I never did get one. The Christmas tree stands that had. Have a foot pedal on it. So you adjust the tree and then.

[Christy Lee]

We had one of those, and then.

[Chick McGee]

Move it around and you get it just.

[Bob Kevoian]

So I'm the guy that has about five Christmas tree stands.

[Chick McGee]

Five I've got.

[Bob Kevoian]

When I lived in a different house, there was a much higher ceiling, and so I had to get a much. I would get a much bigger tree. So that. That tree stand is like this hand welded. I've got two of these huge ones, then I've got three little ones. And so you.

[Chick McGee]

You put up five trees.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, usually put up up two, but put up one outside.

[Christy Lee]

So it's kind of like a big box around a keg.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And then you put your tree on top of it.

[Willie]

Oh, it's like a kegerator. Does that keep it cold?

[Bob Kevoian]

Maybe.

[Willie]

Is that what that is?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I was. I was hoping it was just the keg itself.

[Christy Lee]

Me too.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a functioning beer keg.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I understand.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but it's more of a. I.

[Josh Arnold]

Like the tree coming out of the keg as opposed to a.

[Christy Lee]

It looks kind of like a decorative big present.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What did you see?

[Bob Kevoian]

You bring the family down and you have. Have a look. All right, little Billy, do you want to tap the keg first? Oh, look, the angel on top is flashing her jugs.

[Josh Arnold]

What a.

[Bob Kevoian]

What a nice tribute to Jesus.

[Christy Lee]

Not everybody who has a Christmas tree has little kids in the house. So, you know, let it be a party.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's fine. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

I just.

[Chick McGee]

And what did you say about Aunt Margaret?

[Christy Lee]

I didn't say anything.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you said big box.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is reveling in this practice that a.

[Josh Arnold]

Team of men here, they would lift you out on their shoulders now.

[Bob Kevoian]

So now, Pat, I'm going to tie this into one of my favorite parodies of yours. I understand Willie's going to sing with you on this show, and this involves your history with alcohol.

[Josh Arnold]

Here we go.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's the way you want to go for. Give me some ooze there, Willie.

[Christopher]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

O.

[Bob Kevoian]

Placement took my license of a medium says I can't use it anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

Doesn't sound like actual rose at all.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I says I was drunk, too drunk to see Now I'm walking to the liquor store Walk, walk, walk into the liquor store Walk, walk Walk into the liquor store Very nice. I got my license back and switched to beer no Irish whiskey. But I totaled my car when I hit a deer Two deer Now I'm walking to the liquor store Sing me out there, Willie. Walk, walk, walking to the liquor store hey, hey, hey.

[Edwin McCain]

There.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you very much. You didn't do the voice in rehearsal, and it really threw me. Yeah, you don't do the voice in rehearsal. If you've only heard the Guns and.

[Josh Arnold]

Roses version of that, then you've heard the re. The real version.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Then you've heard the worst version of it ever. Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh. You went the other way.

[Bob Kevoian]

Go to the Bob Dylan version. And I'm surprised Bob didn't say, hey, look, fellas, I don't know even need the money. Don't do that. Don't record that.

[Willie]

I'm sure Bob took the money and bought a $10,000 harmonica and wrote a protest song with it.

[Bob Kevoian]

So we're all the man's brilliant. Bob's song. Bob's version of that is the best. Sorry. If you've never heard the original, I highly recommend it now. Thank you very much, Pat. That was fun. Now we go back to the Bob and Tom show sports page commandeered by. By Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

That was fun. Well, that sounds like. I make it sound like I took over.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no, because your team is the Commandeers. Right. The Washington commander.

[Chick McGee]

The Washington football team. Oh, okay. Especially since Commanders Bezos and Jay Z buy it. They're going to be the.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's the new rumor.

[Chick McGee]

Washington.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no kidding.

[Chick McGee]

They're going to be the Washington mother.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think it's going to go for the Highest ever.

[Chick McGee]

Close to 7 billion. Just over 7 billion.

[Bob Kevoian]

Got unlimited capital in the capital. Yeah, well, they think they've got it unlimited next April. Remind me. Yeah, I think it's going to be a huge sale.

[Chick McGee]

Real quick.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like your analysis.

[Chick McGee]

Then when Snyder sells, they change the.

[Christy Lee]

Name if they buy it.

[Chick McGee]

No, Snyder sells the team.

[Bob Kevoian]

He becomes.

[Chick McGee]

I was getting to it, Tom. Wow.

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, go ahead. You.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no. I. I was trying to let you revive your joke.

[Chick McGee]

Another short guy with a boat.

[Bob Kevoian]

There we go. That's it. That should be a headline.

[Chick McGee]

You see how you ring all the fun out of that?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm so sorry.

[Chick McGee]

Instead of letting you just.

[Bob Kevoian]

Activity. Tried to. Tried to let you get to one of your best lines of the day.

[Chick McGee]

Someone interced for me.

[Bob Kevoian]

He was actively saying as I was.

[Chick McGee]

Actually in the middle of it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I didn't. I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure.

[Chick McGee]

Was it.

[Bob Kevoian]

I wasn't sure you picked up on. Did I tell you that I don't feel well? I, I didn't know if you picked up on my. I, I, I, I, I, I.

[Christy Lee]

Do you want to go take a nap? It's okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

You already did one. Oh, why?

[Josh Arnold]

There's one missing now he's doing comedy over there. I, I wish everybody would acknowledge that. Thank you.

[Bob Kevoian]

He is really on fire.

[Willie]

He's a brave man in this room.

[Chick McGee]

Big box. Big box, anybody?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

In a non traditional way. In other words, without laughter.

[Josh Arnold]

You may call it an alt comedy.

[Chick McGee]

Set, but I am ready to pounce.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can tell you that. I know you're in a bad mood, but you don't have to make all.

[Josh Arnold]

Of us in a bad. Oh, no, that's his movie.

[Chick McGee]

And then where he backs up and goes, I don't know what happened to the show today.

[Josh Arnold]

How did I lose all six of them?

[Chick McGee]

What happened?

[Josh Arnold]

Chick was in a mood.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

How about that chick, huh?

[Bob Kevoian]

That's early songs.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a stinker. Christy, I thought it was a fair question, could they change the name if they bought the team? But that's not up to the owners.

[Chick McGee]

To the owners say, I would think they would have to have some sort of meeting. But considering what the Redskins went through to name it the Commanders, I doubt.

[Josh Arnold]

He can't call it stupid questions.

[Bob Kevoian]

Amazonians or the Prime.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm just dumbass questions.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of money have a lot of ego.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I give you. I was reading a story yesterday about the Pelosi situation, and it's Zuckerberg Hospital in San Francisco.

[Josh Arnold]

So it's kind of of Mark Zuckerberg.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no kidding, I would think, right?

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, right there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe he donated enough to get his name on.

[Christy Lee]

His name on the hospital.

[Willie]

When you get a billion when you're 28, you got to do a few good things.

[Josh Arnold]

Of course.

[Scott Henry]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

When you're busy ruining the world, you want to have a hospital here and there.

[Josh Arnold]

Sorry, Mark. Still going to hell.

[Christopher]

We're coming right back with Tom's obsession with the Mr. Magoo Christmas. And Edwin McCain is on the way. But coming up next, Christmas wrapping and dangerous toys. It's on the way next here on the Bob and Tom Show. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Welcome back. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom Studios. A segment here about Christmas wrapping and some dangerous toys.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. All right. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. And this is my favorite rejoin music. Hello, Tom. How are you? You Bud.

[Bob Kevoian]

Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Bob Kevoian]

Coming up, we got Josh's Christmas present.

[Josh Arnold]

My goodness. Early.

[Bob Kevoian]

I, I know it's early, but I, you'll see.

[Chick McGee]

Is it too large to carry?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, you can carry it.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Is it wrapped?

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it wrapped?

[Bob Kevoian]

It is wrapped in very special wrapping paper.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Josh Arnold]

What have I done to deserve this?

[Chick McGee]

Did you wrap.

[Christy Lee]

You've always been his favorite.

[Bob Kevoian]

I, I, I directed it to be wrapped.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's the thought that counts.

[Christy Lee]

Amy did it.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys, remember, we're in the presence of one of the finest gift wrappers.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Chick the Gee. Ladies and gentlemen.

[Josh Arnold]

Ridiculous.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like to brag, but it's absolutely the truth.

[Bob Kevoian]

Chick's one of those guys that can. When he's done rapping, there's no scrap.

[Josh Arnold]

It's amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's. He, he does some kind of weird 3D eyeball thing where he knows exactly how much much to.

[Chick McGee]

I'm taking it to another level. There's a, There's a community online. You can wrap presents without using tape. I like that very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's.

[Chick McGee]

I've seen videos of that tucking in and things and.

[Christy Lee]

Seriously?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yes. Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Are you able to do that now? Oh, yes.

[Chick McGee]

But I will tell you this, because of my previous speech I had about that. I don't want to give you guys anything for Christmas, but I have to because it's at the house compound. I'm sorry. I don't think I'm going to wrap the gifts this year. I'm just going to tie them up with twine and.

[Christopher]

Sure, that's.

[Christy Lee]

I wasn't going to wrap mine either.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Especially a big bow on them.

[Josh Arnold]

Talk the good game about wrapping. And now you don't want to wrap them.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wait a minute. Hold up.

[Josh Arnold]

Uhoh.

[Chick McGee]

Well, s. It's peer pressure. Wait a minute. Oh, that's right. You're not a peer. But anyway, now I have a question. What happened? Am I out?

[Bob Kevoian]

My, My mother grew up during the depression.

[Chick McGee]

And let me start this story off with my mother grew up during the depress.

[Bob Kevoian]

Also, I'll talk to those people that are sensitive out there. And so when we would unwrap gifts, she would save the paper. Yes. They had to be unwrapped.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So this thing without tape would have. She would have loved this. Yeah, because you could have.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Preserve the, Preserve the paper.

[Christy Lee]

Well, she would have loved the bag thing because you can always save those every year.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think so. I, I really. The bag thing, to me, is the lazy person's Way out.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't like the bag.

[Josh Arnold]

You pay for it, though. They're a little pricier.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they are, but they. You can reuse them over.

[Chick McGee]

I'm wrapping it up with twine. And here you go.

[Bob Kevoian]

See the whole thing.

[Christy Lee]

I like the twine thing is now.

[Bob Kevoian]

See, what I do at my. What I do at my house, as you may or may not remember where the presents are under the tree, then the entry to that room, we seal with paper. And then when it's time for the girls to come in, in, they burst through. Like at the beginning of a football game where they jump through the paper.

[Josh Arnold]

So you've seen. You see that Santa has arrived and you go, okay, let's seal off.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then. And then. Exactly.

[Christy Lee]

And does Santa wrap all of his presents?

[Bob Kevoian]

Of course. No.

[Christy Lee]

Some houses, Santa didn't have time to wrap all the presents.

[Chick McGee]

I was always told, well.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, the elves. The strike that the elves went on was coincided with the actors strike. And the elves are back.

[Josh Arnold]

They're wrestling right now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they're.

[Josh Arnold]

I always thought the parents told Santa, hey, you can rap, Please rap or don't rap. I was told my parents told him, don't rap.

[Chick McGee]

That the presents were empty until Santa came and filled them.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's a cute thing.

[Chick McGee]

They were under the.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, there's all kinds of magic that Santa can do. I think we have some Santa fans listening. The point being, right? I think it's. It's much nicer to have something to unwrap.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

You know, if anybody come, goes to their parents and says, I know all about the Santa. I heard it on the Bob and Tom show. I think they've got bigger problems than Santa.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm just saying this is a spoiler alert. Don't ruin it.

[Josh Arnold]

My parents would ask Santa to not only not wrap the gifts, but to assemble some of them.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, so would mine.

[Josh Arnold]

So under the tree there'd be the full bicycle. He man castle.

[Chick McGee]

I remember one Christmas morning, me and the little tykes, people, people went round and round about how to remember the slide they made.

[Josh Arnold]

The people would stand up and go down.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The kids could actually get up there in the slide. And slide. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it was like yellow and red.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that piece. A son of a.

[Josh Arnold]

Classic.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, boy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, there's an old.

[Chick McGee]

I was wrestled with in the middle of the floor with that damn thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's a. There are people that have a side gig of assembling stuff for other people.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a great yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know, that's the number one selling car in the history of the world is the little Tex car.

[Scott Henry]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's absolutely red.

[Josh Arnold]

Yellow.

[Bob Kevoian]

Deal.

[Chick McGee]

And yeah, the number one selling car in the history of the world is the little funny.

[Bob Kevoian]

Have they cracked down now on the commercials for toys? I remember when I was a kid, I remember there was a commercial for the vacuum form where you could make your own toys. This thing heated up to a way too hot temperature, set the house on fire. And you could make these really crappy little plastic things. But in the commercial, of course, they're making planes that fly.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I don't remember that toy. But yeah, we had creepy crawlers, remember that you can make.

[Chick McGee]

Bugs had the incredible time machine where they're little plastic pieces, square plastic. You put them in. You put them in the. This heating thing that, as Tom said, it got, I don't know, 6, 700 degrees.

[Bob Kevoian]

It makes the house smell like burn plastic.

[Chick McGee]

And you put it in there and turn it on and it would. The monster would pop out of the square of plastic and then you'd heat it back up in the same superheated thing. And when it got all gooey, you stuffed it back into this, this masher that would mash it back down into a cube. It was kind of. It was a.

[Josh Arnold]

That's fun. It was a good time.

[Bob Kevoian]

I loved it. Just. I can remember looking back. Do they have anything that dangerous anymore?

[Christy Lee]

Remember the chemistry sets? I think those got a little scary.

[Bob Kevoian]

How does the. Did the Easy Bake Oven with light bulb. And with current light bulb technology, an LED doesn't get hot enough to really cook that pork tartare into something edible, does it?

[Christy Lee]

The brownie that took eight hours to cook. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And you had to use your real oven for Shrinky Dinks.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Yeah, we had Shrinky Dinks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we had those too.

[Chick McGee]

I had Shrinky Dinks and I didn't care for them.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't either.

[Josh Arnold]

They were never as cool as you.

[Chick McGee]

Want them to be and they all get all warped.

[Bob Kevoian]

Speaking of Shrinky Dinks, we have. You can substitute one letter. We have a story about a. About a shrinking or something involving penis.

[Chick McGee]

Shrinking penis.

[Bob Kevoian]

That would be the subtle way. Yes, we'll get to that coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Here. Wait a minute. I got a picture of the incredible time machine. Hang on.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Well, in the meantime, we also have.

[Chick McGee]

See, remember, See that, that dome? That's where you did all your heating up. It's a hundred and million degrees in that thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Babies first killed.

[Christy Lee]

What did Jim Wilson Used to always say we didn't give a care about kids back then.

[Bob Kevoian]

Let's. Let's burn down the.

[Chick McGee]

A Swedish cross country skier sustained an injury to his male member after competing in a race in finland. According to CNN. This is CNN. He finished a 12 mile World cup event in Ruka. R U K A Not sure where that is. Skier Callie doesn't.

[Josh Arnold]

Ruka live on the second floor.

[Chick McGee]

Ruka.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's Luca.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry, Callie. Halvorson reported he suffered a frozen penis. Frozen penis temperatures that dropped to 5 degrees above zero at the start of the race. 34 year old told Swedish outlet it's called Expressin. I have frozen my penis. Four reasons real According to that publication. He suffered the injury before despite the pain he joked it's lucky I'm about to have my second child because it's going to be difficult in the future if I'm going to continue like this. End was the first Swede across the races finish line in 18th place, number one among the Swedes. When asked by expressing if he could describe the sensation, Halverson said no. Those who know, they know. But here's a tip from me. Me stay away from it. It is the worst thing you can experience.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't imagine why in the world.

[Christy Lee]

Does he continue to compete?

[Chick McGee]

A frozen penis.

[Bob Kevoian]

Whenever I go skiing I always dip mine in hot chocolate before.

[Josh Arnold]

It helps, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Right?

[Scott Henry]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that's. That's the way I go.

[Chick McGee]

That's how I'm sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

They do make electric underwear or something.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Those little hand warmer things you could stick down in there that you, you know, break open.

[Josh Arnold]

And I have a tiny scar for mine.

[Chick McGee]

Tiny scarf.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Really wrap it around.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The neck, if you will.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, he went.

[Chick McGee]

He went 12 miles in 5 degree, 5 above.

[Bob Kevoian]

But so did a lot of other competitors.

[Christy Lee]

Did they freeze their penises?

[Bob Kevoian]

Maybe they're using. Maybe there's a Swedish, Swedish product I invented the Peter Heat. Is that true? To avoid the Vinter Veener intervener.

[Christy Lee]

Peter, he maybe has that disease, you know, some people have. I do. And it's real cold and your. The fingertips turn white.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

Reynards or whatever it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe he has peanuts.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, doesn't the penis kind of take care of itself in cold weather?

[Chick McGee]

Maybe he's so. Yeah, there's no room in this far new little cap for it.

[Bob Kevoian]

A little flap.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat, what do you have to say about it?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, Pat, I have to do an update here. A skier on a mountaintop. Yeah, he was bull's frozen like an ice cream cone now frostbite sinking in his teeth. Chill to the ball. It's frozen. His member, it's frozen. I see. Penis start a fire. Situation dire. Oh, that penis. Get a heater for his Peter. All right. That's about it.

[Chick McGee]

You know that sensation where when your hands start to get warm, there's kind of like needles?

[Josh Arnold]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

That has to be the same thing with your penis, right?

[Josh Arnold]

That's got to be terrible.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And needle be horrible.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

An unfortunate nickname.

[Josh Arnold]

It is unfortunate.

[Bob Kevoian]

This guy's nickname is Dick Chili.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, there's a place down the street that serves Dick Chili better than you think.

[Chick McGee]

With a name like Dick Chili, it's.

[Josh Arnold]

Got to be good.

[Bob Kevoian]

The clock.

[Christopher]

We're coming right back in just a few minutes. Comedian and musician Edwin McCain is on the way. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bob and Tom.

[Ken Tarmac]

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the jail not a creature was stirring. So I couldn't post bail. My mugshot was hung by the entrance with care. In hopes my prepaid attorney would soon be there. The other inmates were nestled in state issued beds as visions of pardons danced in their heads. And I, in my Zubaz and Ozfest cap, had just squatted down to take a long public.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, Donny, that's disgusting. You know that's not how the story goes.

[Ken Tarmac]

Shut up, Randy. You've never been locked up anyways, so how would you know what it's like on the mirror? For your information, there's only one commode. And there ain't no stall doors or toilet paper. Just ain't. It's state law. I mean, it's all out in the open and everyone stares at you like the dunk take at the fair. But I didn't care. Cause I'm a full blooded badass. And I've got the class B misdemeanors to prove it. I ain't like you, Randy. Jail ain't no place for pussies. Hell, I bet if you got locked up on Christmas Eve, you'd be crying. Like that time we put crazy glue in your toothbrush. And if that's what it takes to shut your mouth, I'll do it again, Randy. I swear to God I will. Now shut up and let me finish this poem. So there I was, alone on Christmas Eve with a tear in my eye. Til they hauled in my mom phyllis on another DUI. Then 12 hours later, the guard called us out by name. Hey, Donnie Baker, grab your civvies, your pager, go get your Mountain Dew. You're free to go, Donnie. And your mom is, too.

[Josh Arnold]

I highly doubt a fully licensed corrections officer would say that.

[Ken Tarmac]

Look it up, Randy. Transcripts, court seven. Anyways, I'll never forget what he said as I started to leave. Hey, Baker, I bet your ass is back here on New Year's Eve. I swear to God, he said that. Merry Christmas, man.

[Josh Arnold]

I gotta go.

[Christopher]

It's the Bob and Tom show on a Monday morning. Welcome back. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. Musician Edwin McCain stopped by recently. Let's check this one out.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, we have to behave. We have a guest. The studio. Yeah, well, I don't know about that, Edwin. Are you a meat eater?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, good, because I'm gonna send you a case of Omaha Steaks.

[Edwin McCain]

Right on.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

But I was expl. I. Every Christmas, this is one of my favorite gifts because, like, my brothers, for example, live in different places than I do by choice. And. But I'll send them mistakes. But you gotta. The trick is you gotta make sure they're home.

[Edwin McCain]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, so, hey, John, are you gonna be in Florida? Are you gonna be in Michigan? You go to want to send them, because the stakes, they last a while, but they're not going to last forever on the porch. Yeah.

[Edwin McCain]

Some drunken raccoon is going to show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Up, run off with them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'll find out what your schedule is. Are you doing some road work or are you just hanging out?

[Edwin McCain]

So I went up to Chicago a couple of nights ago to do a benefit for the Concussion foundation. And we did it at Billy Corgan's place. Place in Holland Park. And I. I exercised my superpower of embarrassing myself in front of extremely famous people. It's like my. My superpowers. I can say the exact wrong thing in front of famous people. And I. Billy Corrigan has now joined the list of someone I've completely said something stupid in front of. So.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Edwin McCain]

Sorry, Billy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Can you repeat it?

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, well, no, he was just being nice. He didn't know who I was. He came there after I had played or whatever. And so he was totally being nice. I was leaving, I was saying thank you, and he. He literally was like, yeah, I heard. I heard a lot of good things about your guitar playing, which tells me he doesn't know anything about me because no one's ever said anything nice about my guitar playing. And all I had to say was, thanks, man, and just leave. Not this guy.

[Bob Kevoian]

I was like, well, I'm actually known as more of a single.

[Edwin McCain]

And then There was this pregnant pause where he's just staring at me and I'm just staring at him. And I was like, okay, I'll see you later. And now add that to the list of the things that while I'm brushing my teeth in the morning, staring in the mirror and I have to go.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, God, you said that. It's amazing. Those momos cringe moments. I'll remember them from 40 years ago.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we all have them.

[Edwin McCain]

But now, you know, I'm just like, who's next?

[Bob Kevoian]

Who's.

[Edwin McCain]

Who's going to be next? Somebody here in this room today, I feel probably good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, look forward to it. Evan McCain is a distinguished singer songwriter. If you're not familiar with his work, Number one song a few years back, which is, I think more than Billy Corrigan can say.

[Edwin McCain]

No, it was probably. I think it was three. It was four.

[Bob Kevoian]

Three or four.

[Edwin McCain]

You know who would know is my middle son because he doesn't let me get by with any fibbing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, really? No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Edwin McCain]

He, he actually ran into my room. He's like, hey, you know how your song was like the longest in the longest running in the Hot 100.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just got beat. Hey, thanks.

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, they got like a tab open or something on his computer. I was like, thanks, buddy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like a Google search. When you drop from 1 to 2, that's I'll be very famous. So I did Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins have a number one, I'm sure.

[Edwin McCain]

Imagine I would have to say, like without fear of contradiction, that he was probably as culturally significant as an artist in the 90s as anyone. Right. And so he just came off of like a three night run at one of the opera houses in Chicago where they did 100 pieces. 100 piece of orchestra and opera. Opera. And they, they all of his music. And it was sold out for three.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just read that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, if they don't have a number one, they at least have 15. Two threes and fours.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right? Let's read that. The Smashing Pumpkins band name. I always thought it was. Hey, that's, you know, funny from, you know, Halloween Smashing. Apparently he says, no, it's. He was over in England and someone said, oh, that's a Smashing Pumpkin. Which takes all the fun out of it.

[Josh Arnold]

Corgan will occasionally take the all the fun out of things. I've seen plenty of interviews.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Really? I saw, I saw.

[Edwin McCain]

He's actually kind of experiencing a bit of a reckoning because he said that part of that him sort of being prickly was Their inside joke. And him kind of pulling an Andy Kaufman on people. But now he's got this reputation for being. And he's not really like. He's a lovely, lovely guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, good.

[Scott Henry]

But he.

[Edwin McCain]

But he's had to kind of backtrack that a little bit. And I totally get that because we used to do stupid stuff like that in our 20s. Like everybody in the band would give me a word that I had to work into an interview and there would be. It would be ridiculous. Like I'd be in the. But it couldn't be non sequitur. It had to go with the flow. And it was. And if I didn't get their word in, I owed him 20 bucks. And so yeah, there were a lot of times where I'm sure people were.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like, what is up with this guy?

[Edwin McCain]

How is he comparing his music to a washing machine?

[Bob Kevoian]

And what is dildography? Yeah, what does dildography have to do with songwriting? I thought the man I was tearing up during his tune. But let's move over to the news desk, the Silac Insurance news desk with Christy Lee, see what's going on. Then we'll get a song, if we can, out of Mr. McCain. What have you got?

[Christy Lee]

It's the holidays and we're all gearing up for Christmas. We have a couple of Christmas stories for you today. If you have attack. If you have a cat that's attacking your Christmas tree, there is a British company out there selling the so called cat cat proof Christmas tree. Argos half tree only features the top half of an artificial Christmas tree, which the company said is perfect for keeping baubles, bows and bells out of reach of curious crawling kids or your cat's playful paws. Now we all know cats can jump into a tree. So I don't know how this is going to prevent cat.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's just the upper half of the tree and then there's essentially a pull hole.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they added that. The six foot tall tree also provides plenty of room to stack presents underneath. That'll look ridiculous.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, so you could make one of these.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, just don't put, put your tree.

[Bob Kevoian]

Put the tree up. Then just take some cut. Cut a cutting tool and cut off the bottom half of the tree.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's gonna look ridiculous. Do we have a photograph of this thing?

[Josh Arnold]

If your cat wants to get at the ornaments, it will.

[Christy Lee]

That's right. It'll jump up up there.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean you're almost better off having them at the bottom. So you just bat them off and that's It.

[Christy Lee]

And they don't knock your whole. Oh, look at that.

[Christopher]

Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

They got. They got stacks and stacks of presents. Now the cattle just climb up there.

[Josh Arnold]

And it doesn't look terrible. You guys think it looks terrible?

[Christy Lee]

It look terrible, silly.

[Josh Arnold]

It kind of works. It's almost like a Christmas tree. Palm tree.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I see. That's a good point. Or. Or a stripper pull. Christmas tree, dude.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, they could do that.

[Edwin McCain]

Every time I see something like this, I think there was like a, you know, there was a meeting. There was a meeting. There was a people around a table and somebody went, you know, I have an idea. And they all went, yes.

[Christy Lee]

What's up? Set you back. Do we know the price point on that thing?

[Bob Kevoian]

It was not expensive.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Better be a third of a Christmas tree.

[Christy Lee]

A Christmas tree farm in New Jersey is making news. They're under fire for spray painting fir trees. Wyckoff's Christmas tree calls itself New Jersey's original colored tree farm. They offer trees in nine different shades. Pink, purple, dark blue, light blue, blue, turquoise, magenta, red and black.

[Bob Kevoian]

And these are real trees, by the way. They're not fake trees.

[Christy Lee]

While it may be the 12 time winner of the New Jersey Christmas Tree Growers Association's grand champion award, not everyone is a fan of this Rainbow Bow Grove. According to the New York Post, one social media user complained that the farm is spraying poison everywhere.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Don't poison the trees. We're going to cut down there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. There's the photograph.

[Chick McGee]

They're.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're very odd looking. Come over here, Sizzle. Nick, I got blue, magenta, purple. I called this one Spruce Springsteen. He's from Jersey, you know.

[Josh Arnold]

God, I think it'll look cool.

[Christy Lee]

I do look kind of cool. I have to. I mean, if you do the.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm from Hoboken. I gave my three a spray tan.

[Christy Lee]

If you do the themed Christmas tree deal, it's perfect.

[Edwin McCain]

Have you ever thought that your Christmas tree wasn't quite flammable enough?

[Bob Kevoian]

What is that? Flocking is the.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, flocking is when you just spray that white stuff on it so it looks like snow.

[Bob Kevoian]

So what's the trick to that? Do you have to. You have to do that before you put the ornaments on it?

[Josh Arnold]

I think so.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Otherwise. Yeah, I know.

[Scott Henry]

That's gone.

[Bob Kevoian]

So.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Edwin McCain]

You ever notice that?

[Bob Kevoian]

You know why tinsel is gone? Do you have a dog? It did suck. If you have a dog and your dog eats tinsel. I have been there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

If your dog will eat the tinsel and then About a day later, you're doing this surgical procedure where you're.

[Christy Lee]

My mother. Did your mother or your father spend hours putting those little icicles on the.

[Josh Arnold]

Tree every year if you didn't do them one at a time?

[Edwin McCain]

And the little bubble lights.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Edwin McCain]

They got to be the temperature of the sun.

[Christy Lee]

I have one of those nightlights. The bubble light. Nightlight. I love, love it. I love it.

[Bob Kevoian]

If your dog eats the. Well, same thing is true. You sidewalk chalk. Yeah, your dog eats the sidewalk chalk, and then a couple days later, you've got these rainbow turds all over you. But yeah, this. The. I. I recall this sort of dangling thing from a golden retriever dangling by a little bit of silver.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we.

[Bob Kevoian]

We no longer do the.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know any. I haven't seen a true country with. I. I called them icicles.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

To me, you could still wrap. You know that.

[Bob Kevoian]

I haven't seen one since I was a kid. Yeah, I think it's gone out of fashion.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I think so.

[Bob Kevoian]

Some, you know, some. The. The tinsel king of Hoboken. How about that happened.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't have any more.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about pop Popcorn string. Is that being done?

[Josh Arnold]

I've never actually seen it.

[Christy Lee]

I have never seen it.

[Josh Arnold]

I take that back. We did it in elementary school once.

[Bob Kevoian]

Huge mistake.

[Josh Arnold]

It was like all day. We.

[Edwin McCain]

And everybody. Either they made us do it with cranberries and you end up like, with holes all your hands, giant sewing needles.

[Josh Arnold]

The next year, we ended up doing green and red construction paper strips. We had to glue.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, we did those. So monotonous, labor intensive.

[Edwin McCain]

I love telling my children stories like.

[Bob Kevoian]

This because they just.

[Chick McGee]

They.

[Edwin McCain]

They look at me like. Like we were suffering abuse, you know, like they had us. They had us locked in a cave making popcorn.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I wanted to do the popcorn thing.

[Christy Lee]

You did.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was. I mean, when I was a kid, we did it one time.

[Christy Lee]

Doesn't the popcorn fall apart?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, it was. It smelled awful and it was. Yeah, yeah. So younger brother would eat one and get sick. Now are you doing. I. We have a real tree in the living room. Then we've got a bunch of fake ones in other places. But do you have a real tree or a fake one?

[Edwin McCain]

Not anymore.

[Bob Kevoian]

So we.

[Edwin McCain]

We had real trees for a while and. And then one year, my wife got this great idea that we should go out to our farm and cut a tree down and do it like super old school.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Edwin McCain]

And then the tree the kids picked was a cedar tree. And I don't know if you've ever been around a cedar tree, you might as well just go over to a briar bush and cut down a briar bush because you're going to be cut up and bloody. Because cedar trees are gnarly and the kids called that tree the big prick.

[Josh Arnold]

After that.

[Edwin McCain]

We've had a fake tree ever since.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did that once and it was freezing cold and you have to lie down under the tree and they give you a relatively dull saw. And what I didn't think of was all the stuff falling into my eyes from the tree. So. And, and it gets it. That saw is getting all gum up from the sack and. Yeah, that was a, that's a one time only.

[Edwin McCain]

It was a fun family thing to do once.

[Scott Henry]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

But I still have real trees. I, I've been going to the same tree place for, I don't know, 30 plus years, whatever. But I like having the real tree.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then just before we go on our trip, the thing is crispy and ready to come down and somebody takes.

[Christy Lee]

It down for you while you're on vacation. That's a nice thing to have.

[Bob Kevoian]

I, I've taken it down on occasion. I have help.

[Christy Lee]

I think next year we're going to do a real tree. My husband's real into that and now we have a space. We can put one.

[Bob Kevoian]

But it is a great family event. But I'm sure, now that I think about it, my, my youngest. They were so. They don't even remember. They were so little. They were, they were sitting in the. On the snowmobile, freezing while I'm on the ground. This is a great idea. This is a tradition we're gonna do forever. But I like to support the tree farms. If you're going to do that. I'm just saying wear. Take your goggles from. Take your swimming goggles and a, and a face mask. Goggles.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean, what else. What other goggles do I have?

[Josh Arnold]

Safety goggles.

[Bob Kevoian]

Safety goggles. No, but they're your. Then it's going to fly in from the sides. The swimming goggles at least to protect your eyes. And put a face mask.

[Josh Arnold]

Where are your swimming goggles?

[Bob Kevoian]

You do you, you do you.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I mean you're not going to look ridiculous with face mask on. And swimming goggles line down down in the snow with a crappy saw that won't cut through as you're cursing.

[Christy Lee]

Why don't you bring your own saw?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I didn't think to. I thought it was part of the deal. Here's. There's 200 bucks now you're gonna drag me out there in a tractor to freeze to death. But I highly recommend it. It was fun. I just.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it sounds great.

[Willie]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't wanna. I want to encourage people to support all the Christmas tree farmers.

[Christy Lee]

Of course.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's a, it's a fun thing. As opposed to the, you know, factory in Japan where there's a river full of some kind of toxic waste so you can have a nice, nice holiday pre lit.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my gosh, I love my pre lit tree.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, well, I'm just saying, I'm sure there's many, many kids out there that have an extra finger because.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but they're in Japan. We don't have to look at them. Yeah, yeah. That just helps. The mitten makers, do you suppose they.

[Bob Kevoian]

Walk, wonder like what the hell they're doing in these factories in China?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why are we doing this?

[Josh Arnold]

I like to think there are TVs everywhere showing, like us enjoying the products they're making.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about the places where they make those adult toys? That's got to be.

[Josh Arnold]

Hopefully they don't have children.

[Christy Lee]

Hopefully.

[Edwin McCain]

Well, there's probably a direct correlation to how much they wonder to how many of those big nets on the outside of the building there are.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly.

[Christopher]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And while we're doing the size 10 scrotums today, I'm not coming in. Yeah, I told Mondor I will not do the size tens this year. That's on him. Okay, well, we have a guest in the studio. He's very talented, but we're not letting him do anything. He's Edwin McCain. Are you touring at all this winter?

[Edwin McCain]

I don't think so.

[Christy Lee]

But you have a Christmas album.

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, that's, you know, this is. This has been the running joke. So this album, I did this in like 2009 or something.

[Scott Henry]

Something.

[Edwin McCain]

And it was universally rejected by every record label in the country. And so it sat in a, on a hard drive in a, in a drawer for years. And then a few years ago where I was like, don't we have a Christmas album somewhere? And I dug it out and I kind of dig it. And it was like, there. There's some really great players on it. We kind of did this New Orleans kind of thing for Christmas record. But even my friends don't like it.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I like it.

[Edwin McCain]

And so it's kind of become this thing. It's like my little misfit toy of a Christmas record. Like most like 80% of the people that I know that like my music hate this record. And, and so it makes it even better for me. I, I just. And, and now it's a running joke because my daughter loves Michael Buble's Christmas album.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I gotta, I gotta side with her on that. That's a pretty good one.

[Bob Kevoian]

But is it traditional Christmas songs or do you have any originals?

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, it's all, all Christmas songs. Well, there's, there's one original that my guitar player Larry wrote. And then the rest of them are just standard Christmas songs. But it was, you know, Ivan Neville's on there and Eddie Bears is playing drums and it's a, It's a funky Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Maybe we get to play one of them.

[Edwin McCain]

Well, I, I, Yeah, maybe I don't.

[Jeff Shaw]

Yeah.

[Edwin McCain]

Jason, put one up. Pot one up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pot up.

[Edwin McCain]

Frosty. Frosty's a good one.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that the traditional Frosty?

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, but it's funky.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, so, yeah, send us the mpeg.

[Edwin McCain]

Yeah, there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

We'll get a plate.

[Edwin McCain]

I can send you the 2 inch.

[Chick McGee]

Reel.

[Edwin McCain]

With all the grease pencil notes.

[Christopher]

We're going to wrap things up here in just a minute with Tom's obsession with the Mr. Magoo Christmas. You want to come on back for that one?

[Josh Arnold]

For sure.

[Christopher]

This is the Bob and Tom Show. Happy holidays. This is the Bob and Tom show on a Monday morning. This is Christopher in the Bob and Tom studios. Let's check out Tom's obsession fashion with a Mr. Magoo Christmas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Josh mentioned.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, good.

[Bob Kevoian]

The movie Back to the Beach. Oh, yes.

[Chick McGee]

Of all the things Josh says, you paid attention to that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon.

[Chick McGee]

I believe it's Funicello. My first, my first crush ever. Why would she met Funicello and her. Is it pronounced her sweaters?

[Bob Kevoian]

Is it pronounced Funicello?

[Chick McGee]

I believe so. I don't know if it's Funicello or not. Does it matter? Mahomes Muhammad.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I think it matters. I mean, is it foo or fu around here?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Are you asking?

[Bob Kevoian]

We're on full. We're in full foo mode.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's the Foo Fighters, not the.

[Chick McGee]

Never mind.

[Josh Arnold]

And now, were her and Frankie actually married?

[Bob Kevoian]

No. Man.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought as a kid, I was like, oh, they're a happy married couple.

[Christy Lee]

Did they have a thing?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Were they never in.

[Christy Lee]

I thought they were.

[Josh Arnold]

They fooled us.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they did.

[Bob Kevoian]

They were. They were in all those. I bought all those bad beach movies.

[Christy Lee]

I love those.

[Bob Kevoian]

They were terrible. But you mentioned that Peewee Herman.

[Christy Lee]

Three coins in a fountain.

[Bob Kevoian]

Come on.

[Chick McGee]

Somebody shut up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Peewee Herman. Peewee Herman apparently performed surf and bird in the movie.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

I believe this may be it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, come on.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I think so.

[Josh Arnold]

We're all very excited to see him.

[Bob Kevoian]

You get the idea.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, dude. As a kid, I guarantee you, when that scene would come on, I stand up, dance with peewee to.

[Bob Kevoian]

To.

[Josh Arnold]

It really just couldn't get enough.

[Bob Kevoian]

And there's the trashman. There's. If you see the. The original guy from the Trash Men doing it. Oh, it's the. They're these kind of fuzzy black and white videos from back in the day in the early 60s. It's terrific.

[Christy Lee]

It's very funny.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's doing this crazy bird dance. It's really funny.

[Chick McGee]

He's doing a crazy bird dance?

[Josh Arnold]

Hell, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's flapping around. It's kind of a combination of the Chuckberry Duckworth walk and a chicken dance.

[Josh Arnold]

It's really something.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like. What do you. What would a chicken duck be called? A chucken.

[Chick McGee]

How about a chance?

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Well.

[Bob Kevoian]

To the Chuck and dance.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, go ahead.

[Chick McGee]

I believe Tom's. Now, Mark is not our staff psychiatrist, but he. He's on to something here. I believe Tom's fascination with the Andy Griffith show is a metaphor for his own life. He identifies with and Andy. Tom truly believes he's the only sensible, reasonable person in a world full of idiots. I could care less about bothering you at work. This is from Mark in Witchita.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, Mark.

[Chick McGee]

Pretty wise words. I'm thinking there. You identify with Andy. You know, you got a Barney, you got a Thelma Lou, you got Otis the drunk, you got got.

[Bob Kevoian]

You got all of them wandering around.

[Chick McGee]

Emmett in the fix it shop. Never spoken of until later in the series.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what saddens me? The energy that Mark and others, including us, have to put into trying to figure that goofball out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You see what you do to us? You know, we don't just get to leave our work at work. We go home and. And think and stew about why and who you are.

[Chick McGee]

He creeps into your.

[Bob Kevoian]

You think when you're at home. Could you try that while you're here?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I do it all at home.

[Chick McGee]

He creeps into your every day?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You'll see something on tv. Oh, that looks nice to watch. Oh, God. What if Tom watches? I. I can't watch that if Tom watches it. Okay, well, have you seen Blah, blah, blah?

[Bob Kevoian]

It's amazing. We've been talking about a movie. Movies and television and music, the usual stuff. I am a huge fan of a movie. The first made for Full length cartoon made for television. Of course. I'm talking about Mr. Magoo's Christmas.

[Chick McGee]

Son of a. Again, one more year with this.

[Bob Kevoian]

Have you ever seen it, Josh?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I have. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And your thoughts?

[Josh Arnold]

I like.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Josh Arnold]

It'S, it's. Of the list of Christmas specials though for me it's way down the line. I don't think it makes the top 10.

[Chick McGee]

But I'm curious. You love this Christmas special, this Mr. Magoo.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

When was. And be honest, try to be honest. Just give it an effort. When's the last time you watched it in its entirety?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, just a couple years ago. There's certain. I've, I, I've already watched. For example, this year I've already watched Part of A Christmas Story.

[Christy Lee]

Have you made your kids watch Mr. Magoo?

[Bob Kevoian]

Not yet. They're not what they're not getting. In fact, I tried to, I tried to get very drastic. I tried to get my 9 year old to watch a little bit of A Christmas Story. Couldn't get her hooked.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, Too many distractions. We'll have to wait till there are fewer distractions.

[Josh Arnold]

That movie's gonna mean less and less to newer generations.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It just is. It's not. Yeah. I mean I had to like really as a kid watching it go, oh, I guess this is how it used.

[Christy Lee]

To be back in olden days. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

So I can't even imagine what my 3 year old.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, they went outside to fire a gun. You can do that in your video game in your bedroom.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. So no phones, no cell phones.

[Bob Kevoian]

Although I guess do furnaces still make that cool noise?

[Christy Lee]

My furnace makes a weird noise, so yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe that is a cool movie though. Man, oh man.

[Bob Kevoian]

Remember the furnace scene in what is the movie I'm trying to think of? Oh, a Home Alone.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Every kid didn't want to go down.

[Bob Kevoian]

And do that down in the basement. That furnaces alive.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's what it seemed like sometimes.

[Bob Kevoian]

A very nice letter here from Ron explaining his love of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. Of course it takes the Charles Dickens classic Were you not a Rainbow. Yeah, yeah, that was fine. But Mr. Magoo's Christmas has got great music and he points out it up. Broadway greats Jewel Stein and Bob Merrill wrote those great songs.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, they're not great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Terrific animation hand in hand.

[Chick McGee]

And Jim Backus is trying to sing. It's awful.

[Josh Arnold]

Great Young Ebenezer.

[Chick McGee]

There's only one in Cry. What happened to the child? Tiny.

[Josh Arnold]

He's got it, apparently. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

You want you would like you a.

[Josh Arnold]

Little bit of Mr. Miller? Oh, yeah. No, I can't because it'll be proof checks point.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Horrible.

[Bob Kevoian]

Here we go, Mr. F. That was a surprise number we got f you met Mr. Magoo. That's this one. I'm sorry. Do you know this child?

[Ken Tarmac]

The child is young Ebenezer Scrooge. You see he is left here.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, hello.

[Christy Lee]

Nobody.

[Bob Kevoian]

What he wants him. Poor lad.

[Chick McGee]

Suffers lonely child.

[Josh Arnold]

Listen.

[Bob Kevoian]

Apparently I actually. I actually have a book about the making of Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. Apparently, Jim Backus was famous while doing the voiceover stuff for going off script and just going.

[Christy Lee]

So not only have you watched the movie, you actually read that book?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christopher]

Check out the podcast that inspired Taylor.
