[Chick McGee]

What's his name? Cranky. What is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Brody.

[Chick McGee]

Brody.

[Christy Lee]

So I sent Brody a snuggle puppy. I don't know if you're familiar.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, very nice.

[Christy Lee]

Snuggle puppy. But it's a little stuffed animal and it comes with a little beating heart. You put it in, you turn it on, and you stick it in the. In the puppy.

[Chick McGee]

Like they have for babies.

[Christy Lee]

Exactly. And it makes them calm and helps them sleep through the night.

[Chick McGee]

Totally appropriate somehow.

[Christy Lee]

They're wonderful.

[Pat Godwin]

Very sweet.

[Tom Griswold]

And this isn't something that he can chew up and swallow.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

He's not a chewer yet.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. Give him time.

[Chick McGee]

I had one of those dogs that I had. I went through two or three of the tough, tough skin toys and she still.

[Christy Lee]

I have two of those still made.

[Tom Griswold]

Just would be very careful. Avoid, for example, the Nyla bone.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is. I had one removed from a dog for several thousand dollars that they.

[Chick McGee]

I Like the yak milk bars that I get. They like, they seem to love those.

[Tom Griswold]

Just be very careful that it's something digestible and something that you can. You don't have to be standing there right next to them in case they decide to swallow.

[Chick McGee]

Is there?

[Josh Arnold]

Josh, are you boarding Gravy, your cat?

[Tom Griswold]

Are you?

[Pat Godwin]

No, no, no, she's.

[Chick McGee]

They have an area at board cats where my. My girls go.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, right.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, mine too. Priority boarding, where the. They have their own little boarding area. You walk in and they. You're in gate one.

[Tom Griswold]

So cute. So they have cat, a cat place and a dog place in the same place.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but the cats are in the front of the building.

[Tom Griswold]

The dogs are all the kitties in the front.

[Chick McGee]

Ah.

[Tom Griswold]

So they go through.

[Chick McGee]

There's.

[Tom Griswold]

The song goes. Thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

Speaking of that, is there an equivalent of catnip for dogs? I don't think there is, is there? Because catnip really does do some cats, right?

[Reno Collier]

It does, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Or blowing smoke in their faces. Let's give the dog a beer. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't encourage that, Christie.

[Christy Lee]

Of course not. God, I would never do that.

[Tom Griswold]

You see someone doing that, send them to Gitmo, please.

[Josh Arnold]

As Gravy had catnip, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, man.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Go crazy.

[Pat Godwin]

She does. Yeah, she really. Yeah, she really likes a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there equivalent for people for that?

[Chick McGee]

That's marijuana.

[Pat Godwin]

No, I know what you're saying. I don't know what the actual equivalent would be.

[Chick McGee]

Active caffeine.

[Pat Godwin]

Caffeine maybe. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I stopped by a store when I was on my little vacation last week and oh, did I. Did I send you guys the picture of the. Of the candy cigarettes?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. I couldn't believe that was in a store.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it a candy store?

[Chick McGee]

As far as the eye can see?

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm not into cigarettes. You don't know, but I'm not a candy person. I don't really eat candy.

[Chick McGee]

And you don't eat store bought pastries.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm in this candy store and they had. This is one of those places where they make the candy right there.

[Chick McGee]

Candy O.

[Tom Griswold]

And they had a chocolate with that salt. What is that called?

[Christy Lee]

Salted caramel.

[Tom Griswold]

Salted caramel coated in chocolate. And I bought one and if I could live on just those.

[Christy Lee]

Are you strong?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm in. They were the most delicious thing I've eaten all. All year, even though it's early in the year. But they also had a big rack of different types of candy cigarettes.

[Christy Lee]

I thought those were kind of like outlawed or something.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I'm glad they're not right.

[Christy Lee]

This is America.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you buy any to bring back for the show?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I just. I took a photograph of the.

[Chick McGee]

That's one of those things that we had. It didn't do us no harm. No harm.

[Christy Lee]

The big bubble gum cigars. Remember those?

[Tom Griswold]

Came out good.

[Chick McGee]

They still have those because they pass those out. I know. For have a new baby.

[Pat Godwin]

The problem with those though is they're pink and blue because of the baby thing. I want the. We're very realistic looking.

[Christy Lee]

Brown.

[Josh Arnold]

That'd be hilarious.

[Chick McGee]

Chomping on a cigar.

[Pat Godwin]

A little four year old. That's funny.

[Chick McGee]

Jonah Jameson.

[Tom Griswold]

Are they making Parker? Are they making candy vape. Vape things yet?

[Chick McGee]

Well, those are candy flavored enough.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It's like peppermint and spearmint and all.

[Pat Godwin]

Wild cinnamon blueberry muffin.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I was talking to a White Castle medical person about. About vaping the other day and some of the concerns about metal going into your lung. But that's another topic for another time.

[Pat Godwin]

He started vaping right when they came out and he's fine. His lungs are fine and the gills behind his ears are fine.

[Tom Griswold]

They are, yeah. Okay. How long can he stay underwater? About 45 minutes.

[Christy Lee]

That'd be kind of cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Vaping. Does it. It doesn't have the coolness that cigarettes use. I was on the. On a chairlift. Sorry, I know it's pretentious. I was on a chairlift with a guy the entire time sucking on a vape. The entire.

[Chick McGee]

Do you have to share the chairlift with people when you go there or can you.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I don't know if I like that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Can't you just make it known that this is my chairlift and give me a minute.

[Pat Godwin]

I have a lift ticket. That's my chair. Right.

[Chick McGee]

And this lift ticket was what, $9,000 an hour?

[Tom Griswold]

So why now you're getting close.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Why can't I have my own chair?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Are people chatty in the lift?

[Tom Griswold]

It depends. Sometimes fun.

[Chick McGee]

Are people chatty? He's chatty.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Although, I mean, sometimes it's really a small world. You'll find. Oh, among the. Well, now that I've got to turn off the pretentious meter. Yeah. No, no, but I mean, we got on a chairlift and the lady next to me said something. We got talking and have you ever.

[Chick McGee]

Noticed what the poor weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

She said. She was. She was an amazing person.

[Pat Godwin]

She was sandwiches.

[Tom Griswold]

She was a. She was a first Responder.

[Chick McGee]

Sandwiches before 11.

[Tom Griswold]

She was a really amazing person. Worked with fire departments. In any event.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I can say anything to strangers.

[Tom Griswold]

It turned out that I said, oh, she's from North Carolina. Oh, my daughter goes to camp there.

[Chick McGee]

[Tom Griswold]

An interesting story before. Chick ruined it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I'm listening. She. Your daughter goes to g. I told.

Come on, Josh. None of this can. You can. Can relate to you because you have no soul.

[Josh Arnold]

Madonna was there and Sean. Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Nothing.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen Madonna lately?

[Christy Lee]

She's unrecognizable.

[Chick McGee]

I saw a picture of her yesterday on. You know how your Internet comes at you.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Her eyes are where the top of my hairline is.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what they say, it's not. One more facelift, she's gonna have a goatee.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Tom Griswold]

She still has that 70s bush and she's all cheekbones.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. You know, whatever.

[Tom Griswold]

She going on. Isn't she going on the big tour again?

[Christy Lee]

Hasn't everybody seen her?

What would happen. It got back to her. We're selling tickets.

[Christy Lee]

Happened to JLo.

[Chick McGee]

Madonna. No, nobody's buying tickets. What would she do?

Yeah, probably.

But big travel day.

[Josh Arnold]

I am, too.

[Christy Lee]

Big travel day.

[Chick McGee]

I got two words for you today for our Travel to Iowa Gumball rally. Here's what we do.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

We don't have to. We just start times, okay. We get. Get the stopwatch, and as we go out that time, and then we get timed at the end. We don't have to actually race each other down the highway, because that would be dangerous. Yeah, but are you in an electric car, though? I'm not.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, are you driving your car?

[Chick McGee]

I'm taking the old.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, boy.

[Christy Lee]

I take.

[Josh Arnold]

I take my rig.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Got a car like chicks.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But I got brand new tires yesterday, so.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, scam. Did you.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

They sol tires.

[Christy Lee]

If Mark Adams told you.

[Chick McGee]

Mark Adams told you.

[Tom Griswold]

Apparently, my particular vehicle, if you drive, I don't aggressively. It eats up the tires.

[Pat Godwin]

Huh.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you doctor drive aggressively.

[Chick McGee]

You know what, though? You know what? Hang on a second. Mark Adams is my hero.

[Tom Griswold]

He is.

[Chick McGee]

He knows exactly what he's doing, and he's somewhere laughing with friends going, I talked Tom into buying tires, and guess what? He bought tires. How many miles did he have on the car? I don't know, 3,000? He went ahead and bought.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Tom used to, like, draw on his car. Nasty stuff. So he's getting them back.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm ubering, so I don't know what kind of.

[Chick McGee]

Now that's cool.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're ubering. If you're ubering. Hope you don't get that one guy that drove me into work a couple times.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, why? Was he.

[Christy Lee]

Was he chatty?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

I got the worst.

[Tom Griswold]

May or may not have been an odor issue. I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I got the worst Uber of my life and I'd been air sick, oddly. And I'm never air sick, but I think I'm pregnant. Anyway, I get off the plane, get on the Uber and this guy could not keep a steady speed. Oh yeah, instead of like 65. 65, you go 65, 61. 63.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, boy.

[Chick McGee]

And you almost rock back and forth. It's so pronounced. Oh, I was so sick.

[Tom Griswold]

That's bad. Rather have. I guess I'd rather have that than some sort of foreign flatulence. I'm not sure exactly what was going on there.

[Chick McGee]

Foreign.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure what happens if you eat. Eat too many cats.

[Pat Godwin]

I think they open for nine inch nails.

[Tom Griswold]

Once more. Okay, I got a couple answers for you. Are these letters letters in letter form?

[Chick McGee]

Time now for letters in letter form from stuff that used to be telegrams, but now they're letters. Before that they were smoke signals. Here's Tom with the first letter. Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I love it in movies when they read the old telegrams.

[Chick McGee]

I love it in the movies where they actually try to make you believe that some guy can read the smoke signals.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, commencing. You're attacking at 3:00. You got that out of the smoke, did you? All right, I'm sorry.

[Pat Godwin]

3:15.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, wait a second, hold on. That was an Oxford comma.

[Chick McGee]

Hold on.

[Tom Griswold]

Right, and the, and the cavalry. Oh, this comes to us from a deputy sheriff from wherever he is. Yeah, we'll put it that way.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

A deputy sheriff will just call him Deputy sheriff Jay.

[Chick McGee]

We'll call him witness protection. What are you doing?

[Tom Griswold]

This involves the story we had yesterday that I thought was great about the, the air cannons that they were. They were. These guys were caught shooting drugs into.

[Christy Lee]

And trying to shoot him into the.

[Tom Griswold]

Trying to shoot him into the prison.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the length. Longer than the length of a football.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they really went to some trouble.

[Tom Griswold]

And the question was, how do you. How do the inmates pay for the drugs?

[Christy Lee]

Exactly? Because they could get them. But how do you get the money back?

[Tom Griswold]

Dear morons.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

No, he doesn't say that.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

The drugs smuggled into, quote, detention facilities are already paid for. No self respecting drug dealer is going to send dope over the facility wall in hopes that the turds inside are going to make good on their promise to pay. Absolutely.

[Pat Godwin]

Very good point.

[Chick McGee]

Is he talking about his customers as tur.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, he's a police officer.

[Chick McGee]

I forgot.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a fix today. No, that does not Happen that way.

[Chick McGee]

The fabulous Wimpy from Popeye.

[Tom Griswold]

Most of the contraband passes into the detainees from their friends and family. So this is. He goes on at some length. Shirt cannons, drones, helium balloons. These are transit modes of the less cognitivity. What is it? Cognitively. I can't even read this word.

[Chick McGee]

Aware of.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, thank you. Not drug dealers. Okay, so there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys got caught with the cannons.

[Chick McGee]

And that's a good sketch for Saturday Night Live. The Enabling family. They should do that. Write that up. I'll conduct an experiment. We'll see if it'll be on in a couple of months, see what happens.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

I've got a letter here.

[Tom Griswold]

Go ahead, let me hear it.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, boys.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

And Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Chick. I was disappointed in Tom yesterday. Give it to him. I can't believe he talked about the show canon with the fabulous William Conrad and how he was also the announcer on Rocky and Bullwinkle, and he didn't say one word about the Fugitive. He should listen to the opening prologue when the announcer talks about Richard Kimball. I don't think it is William Conrad, but it's comparable. I guess that's Mike from Cortez, Florida.

[Tom Griswold]

I. Give me a second. I don't think that's the same. I'll tell you in a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Here he is.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. The Fugitive.

[Chick McGee]

A QM production starring David Jansen.

[Ace Cosby]

The Fugitive.

[Pat Godwin]

I think that person's talking about a different part of the show, though. They're talking about. Oh, the part that talks about Richard Kimball. Not the. Not the guy announcing.

[Chick McGee]

I think you're right. And I think it might indeed be William Conrad. It was. It was actually in one of the episodes. Dr. Richard Kimball. Yeah, it might be Conrad, now that.

[Tom Griswold]

I think about it.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know that. Now I got. Speaking of William Conrad, once again, he played Cannon, the. The obese private eye.

[Chick McGee]

Very obese.

[Christy Lee]

He's a hefty man, a corpulent fellow.

[Chick McGee]

And also played the fat man on Jake and the Fat Man.

[Tom Griswold]

However, when he was. When he went to the casting call.

[Chick McGee]

He thought he was reading for Jake.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course.

[Pat Godwin]

Very mean.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from Matt. He goes, william Conrad is a son of Louisville, Kentucky, and he suggests that the city of Louisville step up and name a street after him or build the William Conrad Radio and Television Memorial Museum. Oh, I like both these ideas.

[Pat Godwin]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Was he in radio? He had to be, right? Oh, no, he was in guns. He played. He played Matt Dillon. Gunsmoke on radio.

[Tom Griswold]

And when they went to tv, they couldn't have him do it because they didn't want to kill a horse.

[Chick McGee]

Also, William Conrad's father, Arthur Conrad, and his mother, Mabel Conrad, started the Top of the Bat Restaurant at the Top of. That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Now you're confused.

[Pat Godwin]

Somebody in Louisville has honored him with a.

[Tom Griswold]

Here. Here's. This is the voice.

[Christy Lee]

We're talking about a ramp.

[Tom Griswold]

Here is. Here's the voice. Sorry, Josh.

[Chick McGee]

He has a ramp because he's fat.

[Tom Griswold]

Here we go. Mr. Conrad. Last time, you remember, Bullwickle tried out.

[Chick McGee]

His ultra sultry look on a couple.

[Tom Griswold]

Of young ladies who promptly fainted dead away. That's the great voice of William Conrad.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But he was a fine actor and I guess the proud son of Louisville, Kentucky. All right.

[Josh Arnold]

They should call it Conrad Street. What do you think about that? Would that work?

[Chick McGee]

Conrad? Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Conrad Street.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I think so.

[Chick McGee]

There might be a Conrad Street.

[Tom Griswold]

Could be. I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, gang. This letter starts, and. Tom. Oh, longtime listener, first time letterer. My name's Austin from South Bend, Indiana. Don't worry, Tom. I could walk from my house to Michigan in minutes. Last night, I stopped at my local gas station to what would I see but a tanker truck and an armed vehicle refueling.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, like a Brink's truck. Oh, that. That's. You're asking to die.

[Chick McGee]

However, that did not stop me from the 2% chance of catching a stray bullet or exploding. Same odds as a meteor hitting the Earth.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, this just in. I'm glad you read that letter.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

I've been keeping up on this meteor that's supposed to hit the Earth.

[Christy Lee]

An asteroid or a meteor. What's the difference?

[Pat Godwin]

Thank you for your work.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry. Asteroid.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Because a meteor. Yeah, sorry, Asteroid's been out in space, Right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Meteor comes from.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. The point is, there's this thing that. They said there was a small chance of it hitting the Earth.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yesterday they upped the odds to 3.1%.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Chick McGee]

So it's going up.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now, there's a 1 in 32 chance, according to NASA, that this asteroid will hit the Earth.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

The asteroid is once again called 2024 Y. R4.

[Pat Godwin]

And when's the expected impact?

[Tom Griswold]

Seven years.

[Chick McGee]

So think there are 64 guns on a table and two of them have bullets in them.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

That was my analogy.

[Chick McGee]

Sobering.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you walk up and grab one and put it to your head?

[Chick McGee]

I think I still would.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no.

[Pat Godwin]

It depends on how much money is it?

[Tom Griswold]

The. The odds have gone in the last week.

[Chick McGee]

Like I got something to live for.

[Tom Griswold]

From 1.2% to 2.3. Now 3.1.

[Josh Arnold]

I'll be gone in seven years.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you guys are terrible.

[Chick McGee]

Pat and I are going to film in Louisa. Maybe, maybe.

[Pat Godwin]

Today. Let me know where it's going to land so I can try to catch it.

[Tom Griswold]

They say it's the size of a football field. Chick, do you have the Dragnet music?

[Chick McGee]

Do I.

[Pat Godwin]

No, none of us do.

[Josh Arnold]

No, we're not allowed.

[Chick McGee]

I have this.

[Josh Arnold]

That's not Dragnet.

[Pat Godwin]

But somehow Rocky and Bullwinkle. Fine. Yep. Somehow the fugitive.

[Tom Griswold]

That spoken word.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

No, that's the distinction.

[Chick McGee]

How big is. How big is the asteroid again?

[Tom Griswold]

The size of a football field. And they're doing. And Christy, do you know how they're tracking it?

[Christy Lee]

How?

[Tom Griswold]

You're using the James Webb telescope.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's right.

[Kevin Cronin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, that's. No, that music, that's for the Jack Webb telescope. Oh, the Jack Webb telescope is the one that can see dirty hippies from space.

[Pat Godwin]

It says unfunny today.

[Tom Griswold]

That is my favorite joke.

[Chick McGee]

No, but it's not a joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever seen some of those old Dragnet episodes? The hippies are always short haired guys headbands on them because they couldn't find anybody with law.

[Chick McGee]

And they have little square glasses down on their nose.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah.

[Christy Lee]

They've got their T shirts, blue color. Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

Don't hassle.

[Tom Griswold]

So we're gonna keep our eye on fringe vest.

[Christy Lee]

I always liked that.

[Tom Griswold]

On this asteroid. On this asteroid. Yeah, you're right. Or the sunny bono fur vest.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That didn't really take off. Do you have any more letters or brother?

[Chick McGee]

Dear sports department. I guess that's me.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it in quotes?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Okay, I didn't catch that. Thanks. I watched the documentary. It's called Court of Gold on Netflix last night. It's about the NBA players trying to win an Olympic gold medal. Not one time did they mention Victor Wembanyama by the nickname Vicky.

[Pat Godwin]

Vicky Wemwem.

[Tom Griswold]

Not once.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, that's a. That's not a good documentary.

[Chick McGee]

I took it as a slam and total disrespect to the foremost sportscaster in America.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes. As this person should have.

[Chick McGee]

That's you, Chick. That's you.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Well, thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

While we're on the science, Tony at the science desk. And this is something I think we talked about off the air. I can't remember. We were Talking about my adventures in the world of a cowboy hat. I did not get one. Kelly got one.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a mistake. You should have gotten.

[Tom Griswold]

I went to the cowboy hat store and learned a bunch of cool stuff from you guys. I didn't realize you could take the headrest off of your car.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

And I got a bunch of letters.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm driving with them.

[Tom Griswold]

Just a second. Now you. Just a second. I could save a life right now, okay? And I'll tell you why. You know what? I got a whole bunch of letters about this. The headrest comes off of their car, so get. Get ready for this. So in the event of an emergency, you can break the glass and get out of the car.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, I think that's one use.

[Christy Lee]

And some of the glass didn't break anymore, right? It's shatterproof.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, none of the glass should break anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

It'll. That's still breaking. If you hit it. If you hit it, it'll go into a million pieces. Okay, so that's good to know. Thank you. We were discussing the name of someone who makes hats is a milliner. But this guy found out. Josh found out, I think. Did you tell me this off the air?

[Pat Godwin]

I did, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The distinction. Do you want to go over?

[Pat Godwin]

Sure. A millionaire, a milliner is. He makes fashionable hats for the most part, for women, whereas a hatter will make hats for men and women of a more practical nature.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah. And then you also mentioned this. This guy said, I did a deep dive into the meeting of Mad Hatter.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And haberdashers.

[Chick McGee]

Very sobering.

[Tom Griswold]

Haberdashers would dip top hats into mercury to give them form.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yikes. Crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

They would not wear rubber gloves. The mercury would soak into their skin and make them go crazy. Thus the term Mad Hatter.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, mad as a hatter is the term.

[Tom Griswold]

And then, yeah, eventually the character, the Mad Hatter. And then that explains several people that we all know apparently were secretly making hats and dipping their hands in mercury, which made them insane. Anyone? Nobody? Okay, sorry. And then that's. This is to be distinguished from the Mad Shatter.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, very different.

[Tom Griswold]

We had in the news recently. It was defecating randomly at people. Was that on Broadway in their front yard?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, for one week.

[Chick McGee]

One of them, right? No, not at the show.

[Christy Lee]

I have one now.

[Pat Godwin]

Hold a hill. Dover.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes.

[Chick McGee]

No one will be seated during this.

[Josh Arnold]

There was a guy on Broadway.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right. Remember?

[Christy Lee]

Hey, guys. And Christy, this is from Ashley. I was in a meeting with a vendor this week. They mentioned one of their manufacturing facilities was in Deland, Florida.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, nice.

[Christy Lee]

I am a 39 year old woman, but I could not keep it to myself. I made eye contact with one of the salesmen with a smirk on my face. He asked what's wrong? And I admitted I know this might sound weird, but do you know that Deland is by the sea?

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much.

[Christy Lee]

I got one laugh, my own. Oh, thanks for letting me have an awkward moment. Well, thank you, Ashley.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. We had a nice story about naked yoga. We have someone who tried it. We'll get to that coming up a little bit later. And other delights. What's coming up in sports.

[Chick McGee]

What's coming up? We got the Lakers last night. Luca it. Maybe the honeymoon's over already. The NFL salary cap is a number that none of us can really comprehend. And we'll talk about the people who are breaking into sports stars homes while they're at games. It's a some sort of organized crime units international, isn't it? Chile. And it's happening in soccer and basketball.

[Pat Godwin]

All over the world.

[Tom Griswold]

Plus a song from Mr. Pat Godwin.

[Christy Lee]

Yay.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Pat Godwin]

And clever asides for me.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah. How about that? And I'll warn everybody that we're going to be in Iowa tomorrow morning at this time. Broadcasting from the Riverside Casino and Resort. We're taking a stack of posters, a whole bunch of T shirts and I.

[Chick McGee]

Thought you're going to say a stack of people with us.

[Tom Griswold]

We are taking.

[Christy Lee]

We are taking this kind of a group boy.

[Tom Griswold]

And we're selling the T shirts as a benefit project. We're giving the money away and the.

[Chick McGee]

Poster'S free with my weird picture on it.

[Tom Griswold]

The. The money's gonna go to the Stead family hospital. So this is fun. So we got a bunch of shirts we gotta stick into various automobiles and trucks today. Yeah. And haul them over there. So be sure to be sure to buy one. I think they're kind of nice. I think you'll like. And Patty G has a song for us. But right now it's time to talk about the best way to have a nice private afternoon with you and your head.

[Chick McGee]

Raycons everyday. Earbuds. That's the ticket. Remember that was everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That's the ticket.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that guy.

[Pat Godwin]

Morgan.

[Chick McGee]

Fat shot.

[Christy Lee]

Jealous?

[Tom Griswold]

Nobody? Funnier.

[Chick McGee]

Raycon. Their latest model is better than ever. A 32 hour battery life on Raycon. And they have multi point connectivity that lets you pair with two devices at once. And I really don't know how they do this. Raycon has A quick charge function, 10 minutes on the charger, 90 minutes of battery.

Special song from Mr. Godwin. Looking forward to hearing it too. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

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

[Tom Griswold]

No one knows music like Rolling Stone.

[Pat Godwin]

Senior writer Brian Hyatt talks the biggest.

[Chick McGee]

Music news from the biggest stars.

[Reno Collier]

Almost everyone is teaming up on Drake. It's like Drake versus the world.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You first met Prince, you were driving for him before you were drumming for him. That's correct.

[Josh Arnold]

Stevie Wonder.

[Kevin Cronin]

You kind of have to understand how Stevie began on white radio.

[Tom Griswold]

That's where the money was. That's where it still is. Rolling Stone music.

[Pat Godwin]

Now follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, a little bit later.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. What the hell day is it? Thursday. Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday because Thursday starts the weekend. Thursday doesn't have a feel, does it? Monday has a feel. Friday, of course. Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Wednesday, Thursday. They don't have.

[Christy Lee]

It's kind of there.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Don't you think?

[Tom Griswold]

I can't agree. No, really, really.

[Christy Lee]

What does Thursday feel?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there's so many. There's so many famous Thursday songs.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I've got Thursday on my mind.

[Josh Arnold]

There's not a Thursday song.

[Pat Godwin]

Thursday, Thursday.

[Chick McGee]

My God.

[Josh Arnold]

That was T H U R S.

[Chick McGee]

D A Y Thursday.

[Tom Griswold]

See, we may have uncovered something. A chick. You may have uncovered something. This may be a path. There may be. There may be a hole in the American songbook. There's certainly a lot of Monday songs.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta, you got your Friday songs and then that, that just horrible song. Sunday will never be the same.

[Christy Lee]

They will never be the same.

[Josh Arnold]

Manic Monday, of course.

[Chick McGee]

Sunday morning coming down.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't remember. Sunday will never be the same.

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't think Spanking our game. If you heard it, you'd go, oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, all we were missing. There was a sniper. Oh, Jesus. That was a turd of.

[Chick McGee]

There's no Thursday song. Will never be the same.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I do remember.

[Tom Griswold]

That is now. Wait a minute. I've got to slow down. Obviously, you've got Monday songs. Is there a Tuesday song?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, Tuesday afternoon. What was.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there you go. Oh, God, I hate that song.

[Chick McGee]

Which came first now? The restaurant or this Rolling Stones?

[Tom Griswold]

Who cares? They're both. Well, I'd rather go to the restaurant than listen.

[Chick McGee]

And you know Ruby Tuesday, they did that because the Stones like salad bars backstage.

[Josh Arnold]

Who knew they like dry pumpernickel.

[Pat Godwin]

They sure do.

[Chick McGee]

And lots of ranch dress.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of Stones, you know, that Keith Richards is quite a good skier.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Pat Godwin]

He made me laugh on the SNL thing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he was funny.

[Pat Godwin]

You could tell he was having a ball.

[Chick McGee]

Well, what did he. What did he say? But I laughed, too. And I can't remember what he said.

[Pat Godwin]

Damn it, I ate scarf or something. Yeah. He goes, I. I left a scarf here. He goes, nobody knows where it is. Let's just fall.

[Tom Griswold]

You've met Keith?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And by all, I spilled a cup.

[Josh Arnold]

Of coffee on him.

[Tom Griswold]

I know some people who know him pretty well, and by all accounts, he is the greatest guy ever.

[Pat Godwin]

That's awesome. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

He was about to go on stage and I spilled a cup of coffee on him. And he was delightful. Imagine being a rock star. And I turn around, spill a hot cup of coffee.

[Christy Lee]

I'm like, something you do.

[Chick McGee]

That's all right.

[Tom Griswold]

Annoying you. The coffee smelled like coconut milk. You can't drink it like an American.

[Josh Arnold]

Back then it was just cream and sugar because I was thin. Could have been Jameson.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, with the three pointer. That seals the game.

[Josh Arnold]

One of his assistants comes up with this big thing of like, something orange, right? And it's just me and him in the back. He's got his arm around me, I swear to God. And everybody else from Philadelphia's going, what? What's Godwin doing? Keith Rich's arm around me. And the guy brings this big orange drink. And he looks at me and he goes, ah, yes, another nuclear nightmare. And he downs the whole drink.

[Chick McGee]

The hell.

[Christy Lee]

Wonder what was in it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, pure vodka. A little bit of Cher drink or something.

[Tom Griswold]

The essence of rock and roll.

[Josh Arnold]

Another nuclear night.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, that's exactly what you want Richards to say when you meet him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Imagine he was a real. Imagine he was very sweet.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. But. Yeah, He. He lived in Switzerland for a long time, so he's actually quite a skier.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, that's cool.

[Chick McGee]

There's a good doc about those on mgm.

[Tom Griswold]

Plus I think about the one about Anita Pallenberg.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's four hours and each hours on one of the. Of stones that they recognize, I guess now.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, cool.

[Chick McGee]

Bill was not featured.

[Tom Griswold]

Also a wonderful guy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Very cool guy. Now we have a. They shouldn't run a daycare obscure.

[Chick McGee]

You know.

[Ace Cosby]

Jealous.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not criticizing. I'm not criticizing. Going young. But there's too young.

[Josh Arnold]

There is too.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. Now we're back to Led Zeppelin. Oh, I'm sorry, Pat. We have an unusual request. Christy has. Has the story.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. In Italy. That one.

[Tom Griswold]

No, the Broadway show one.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Jesus. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Did I.

[Christy Lee]

Because. Yeah, you probably.

[Chick McGee]

I've never heard another radio show of anybody else. Come on and say, oh, Jesus. Have you.

[Christy Lee]

We sit here for a while.

[Pat Godwin]

Billy Graham. But it was in a different way.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't it be great? ABC News or NBC News? Lester hold looks at it goes. Yeah, I give up. It's a complete.

[Josh Arnold]

Now Bill with the weather.

[Chick McGee]

Remember Frank. Wasn't it Frank Reynolds who burned out on the air or blew up at somebody behind the scenes? Just get me the GD information.

[Christy Lee]

Well, those guys have somebody yelling in their ear the whole time they're trying to talk. It's awful. Oh, wait a minute. What am I saying? Hey. A mystery public pooper is on the scene in New York City.

[Chick McGee]

Here we go.

[Christy Lee]

Suspects territory. Broadway theater. Apparently, the mad shatter has been striking at Magic Mike musical tryouts reportedly dedicating in dressing rooms and backstage areas.

[Chick McGee]

It's on Broadway.

[Christy Lee]

Authorities believe the public pooper is trying to bring attention to a dispute with Actors Equity.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, well, this is the way to do it.

[Chick McGee]

I'll do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Famous. Famous show, Famous show Famous pooper.

No, it's not Spiderman. We were calling it Spiderman. It's spider man.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, great.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Not Spiderman. Spiderman. Spiderman is the accountant.

[Chick McGee]

Is that someone the name Spiderman.

[Christy Lee]

Spiderman. Hey, Spiderman.

[Pat Godwin]

There might be a Spiderman.

[Tom Griswold]

What city does spider man allegedly take place in?

[Christy Lee]

Spider Man?

[Pat Godwin]

New York, Is it.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it New York City?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Batman uses Gotham, but I think spider man is in New York City. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay. Now, what's coming up in sports?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, man, that is a great question. I'm not sure. But first. There we go.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, staple.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

It really lends itself to the marching band.

[Chick McGee]

The Lakers had problems last night. Maybe the honeymoon is over between Luca and lebron James.

[Pat Godwin]

This is a cool version.

[Tom Griswold]

Greatest. This is the best version ever.

[Chick McGee]

As George mentioned, he's the one who goes, great.

[Tom Griswold]

A great scat segment where he scats and plays.

[Pat Godwin]

I am aware of it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. College basketball's geared up for March madness. It'll be March soon. And we'll check in with the federal floor. Florida federal court and seven men from Chile have been charged with a burglary ring targeting high profile sports stars around the world. Robbing their homes while they're playing the games.

[Christy Lee]

And if you see where they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they do who they are. There's a. These doofuses put it up on social media. There's a picture of them all grinning, holding the watches and wearing one of the jerseys. I say to put them on a bus to gitmo. Of course they'll drown. Well, no loss really, except for maybe the bus.

[Chick McGee]

So many people are recognized for something.

[Pat Godwin]

Bus.

[Chick McGee]

They just want their recognition. They just want people to know how they're doing, that's all.

[Tom Griswold]

They're going to get recognized. All right, all that fun stuff coming up. Also, we're going to talk with Kevin cronin, singer, songwriter, reo person.

[Chick McGee]

Will you give me $20 to not say Gary talks with his guitar?

[Christy Lee]

You say it every time.

[Tom Griswold]

I wouldn't do that. Gary's gone. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, shoot.

[Christy Lee]

That was close.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. At the Silac insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee. Hey, there's Pat Godwin.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, chick.

[Chick McGee]

We'll have a song in seconds. Grab the get box.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna use an accordion this time. There's Josh.

[Chick McGee]

Architect Arnold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hi, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Roll out the barrel. Hello, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. We're the o'reilly Auto Parts Studios. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

How are you?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just fine.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And I was not paying attention.

[Chick McGee]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just going over some of the mail in the mailbag. We always appreciate your letters. Please, whatever you want.

[Chick McGee]

Is there more mail?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we'll get to it later.

[Chick McGee]

That's more mail.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm rejecting these. Let's do that.

[Chick McGee]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

We've covered the topics here.

[Christy Lee]

Well, then why bring it up?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I didn't bring it up. He.

[Chick McGee]

I wanted to know why you weren't paying attention. When we come back on the radio.

[Tom Griswold]

We were discussing Neapolitan ice cream.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

No, we weren't discussing it. We were seeing how it's made. And that is truly fascinating. Of all the things you think that are fascinating. It comes out of this square tube into a box, and they hold the box. It just bangs it. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

All three of. All three of the flavors.

[Chick McGee]

They put the lid on.

[Tom Griswold]

It's amazing. I have a couple questions. Is it always those three flavors?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what other flavors do those represent? The Italian flag.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, the fact that it has Neapolitan. I mean, it's named Neapolitan. Suggests.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there.

[Pat Godwin]

There is an origin of.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Is not brown and pink and white.

[Pat Godwin]

But you don't want green ice cream. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Does anybody do an alternate color?

[Pat Godwin]

Neapolitan.

[Tom Griswold]

Neapolitan. Is it possible to get it, like, for example, instead of strawberry. I'm just asking, but this letter writer goes in all caps. This is why I didn't want to read it. Christy Lee is correct. So right there. I don't want to read the letter.

[Christy Lee]

Ah, I see.

[Tom Griswold]

Because she said you're supposed to mix the ice cream together.

[Christy Lee]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Reno Collier]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

Well, then you don't get any.

[Pat Godwin]

That's one way to eat it.

[Tom Griswold]

The wrong way to eat it.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't think there is a right or a wrong way with neophyte.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you eat it?

[Pat Godwin]

I eat the vanilla first because it's my favorite, and I don't want it tainted by the other flavors.

[Chick McGee]

And if you're wearing a baseball cap, do you turn it around before you start eating?

[Pat Godwin]

Always. Yeah, I get in there. It sounds like a werewolf movie.

[Chick McGee]

You're damn right it does. You spend some time.

[Tom Griswold]

So just. Just asking.

[Christy Lee]

But he's right. You.

[Pat Godwin]

There's no wrong way to do it.

[Chick McGee]

The brown, pink and white flag. The only thing I can find is it's a polysexual flag, much like the gay pride flag.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I see.

[Chick McGee]

They were invented in 2012. Multiple genders.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, now I don't think Neapolitan ice cream has been co opted by any particular group.

[Christy Lee]

Though I found the answer. Apparently, according to, you know, Wikipedia, they know everything.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

Apparently back in the day it was pistachio, vanilla and cherry.

[Pat Godwin]

So Tom's right.

[Christy Lee]

Matched those of the Italian flag. Early recipes featured a variety of flavors, but the combination of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry is the one that became the standard.

[Tom Griswold]

They're good.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Most likely because those were the most popular flavors in the United States in the time of the.

[Tom Griswold]

What was the original, please?

[Chick McGee]

Cherry and what?

[Christy Lee]

Pistachio, vanilla and cherry.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeeck.

[Chick McGee]

I don't like cherry.

[Pat Godwin]

Pistachio has its place. Cherry? No. You like ice cream. How about ice cream that tastes like Robitussin?

[Tom Griswold]

Precisely.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I think the cherry came before the Robitussin.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you think is the. The one thing in life that you think you're gonna really love and you try it and don't like it? Oh, in the ice cream world.

[Christy Lee]

Very interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

I was working here. Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, I got being asked for my autograph.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, never mind.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

For me it's the banana split.

[Pat Godwin]

It. Oh, okay. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Always wanted one as a kid. It looked great. And then as soon as I had one. This is off.

[Chick McGee]

No pineapple. I don't know who started putting the pineapple on that off there. Mistake.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm gonna go old fashioned or a. I'm sorry, not an old Fashioned, a martini.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I agree.

[Chick McGee]

Those are all. Are we talking any food item?

[Tom Griswold]

Anything. I mean, is anything you always think like for something you always wanted to do, you did it and hated it.

[Chick McGee]

Lobster, Mac and cheese. I love lobster. I love Mac and cheese.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought they'd be great together.

[Chick McGee]

Had it like three times, three different places.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, not your thing.

[Chick McGee]

Disappointed.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, I get that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that sounds terrible.

[Chick McGee]

I enjoy it very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

I will eat. Aces.

[Pat Godwin]

I gotta learn to like a martini because they're so cool.

[Christy Lee]

They're cool to drink.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you think so?

[Josh Arnold]

And they get you there.

[Tom Griswold]

I think. You know what I like about them, Josh, is with your overt masculinity, you can pull off holding the fairy like glass. The what?

[Christy Lee]

Look, I like James Andre martinis, you idiot.

[Pat Godwin]

We call it a dainty stem. I would like you to use the proper bomb.

[Chick McGee]

And Tom show is experiencing technical difficulty.

[Tom Griswold]

I meant like Peter Pan.

[Chick McGee]

We'll be right back.

[Christy Lee]

He just called James Bond short break.

[Chick McGee]

Well, Roger Moore. His contention is Roger Moore. What is. Seriously, what's wrong with you?

[Tom Griswold]

I hated those movies with Roger.

[Josh Arnold]

First of all, martini glass is very cool.

[Chick McGee]

I haven't seen one with Daniel.

[Josh Arnold]

Very masculine.

[Tom Griswold]

They're very ridiculous.

[Pat Godwin]

No, they're pretty cool.

[Josh Arnold]

They're very cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have any at your house?

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Christy Lee]

Martini glasses. Of course.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I drink out of the bottle.

[Chick McGee]

You know what you do? Yeah. You just. You just said. Said the vodka next to the vermouth and then just.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't have time for a glass.

[Josh Arnold]

The middle guy.

[Chick McGee]

Have you ever done this? Josh? You go up to the bartender and tea martinis, please.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a fan.

[Chick McGee]

How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm doing this thing later on this year. I've hired this guy to come over and he's going to do this mixology party. Have you heard about this?

[Christy Lee]

You're having a mixology party?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You don't even drink.

[Tom Griswold]

I know. That's the interesting thing. I.

[Josh Arnold]

You make mine this new family.

[Chick McGee]

He already sent out the invitation.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't even get the Christmas card.

[Pat Godwin]

When you first met, I thought you meant here.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute. Hold it.

[Tom Griswold]

You.

[Chick McGee]

You didn't get the Christmas card?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, is the party here or.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, at my house. Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

A party.

[Christy Lee]

You're having a party at your house. Are we all invited?

[Chick McGee]

Are we invited?

[Pat Godwin]

Are you guys nuts?

[Tom Griswold]

The right.

[Pat Godwin]

The right phrase here is man, have a great time.

[Chick McGee]

No, no. You know what? We go and we. We. We place little time bombs all through the house.

[Pat Godwin]

If I go to that party, I am kissing your girl.

[Ace Cosby]

Girlfriend.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you can do that. Just, you know, you. That's fine. But do not use any of my toilets.

[Chick McGee]

We're gonna. We're leaving the most proper deckers in all the bathrooms.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We have no business being, well, carrying off site feces. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Again, though, the point is, there are things in life, especially when you're a kid, you think, oh, I can't wait to be an adult and try that. And then you try it and go. Boy, do I hate this. Yeah, it could be an activity. It could be a food.

[Josh Arnold]

I want to hear more about the part I remember.

[Chick McGee]

Really looking forward.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't believe it. You look forward to shaving.

[Chick McGee]

I did when I was a kid, but now I. I hate it.

[Christy Lee]

Obviously, I think I did too.

[Chick McGee]

I hate when I have to shave now.

[Tom Griswold]

Chris, let me ask you.

[Christy Lee]

I want to shave my legs, so I miss shaving.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me ask you. Christine.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

When you were a little girl, did you look forward to being able to wear a bra?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Oh, of course.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever try on one of your moms before you even had boobs down there just to see what it was like?

[Chick McGee]

I did.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I did. Oh, did you?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a second. Everybody stopped the show.

[Chick McGee]

I did.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you really ever try on your mother's brassier?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I put it.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever put it on the proper manner?

[Christy Lee]

Put the false.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Did you.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have man boobs as a boy?

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure I did. I was a chunky kid. I'm sure I had some boobs.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you put on the brassier ever, like Fat Bastard?

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't think I did, but.

[Josh Arnold]

Joking.

[Chick McGee]

I was fast.

[Tom Griswold]

When you did it, did you find yourself aroused?

[Chick McGee]

Certainly. I'm aroused now. Talking about it, I find it amazing that some women swear by doing it behind their back and some women swear by doing the front.

[Christy Lee]

I do it in the front, twist.

[Chick McGee]

It round, swirling it around.

[Christy Lee]

I can't do that. Especially when you get older. Your arms don't want to go back that far. It's, like, hard to do.

[Chick McGee]

And remember, part of our. Part of our act could be tomorrow night when we do live comedy in Iowa. I would unfasten some lucky ladies brassiere from the audience in seconds. Seconds.

[Tom Griswold]

In the old days.

[Chick McGee]

In the old. I can't do it now because I would be arrested.

[Tom Griswold]

Although there he'd be on the Internet in a big way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we could use that, baby.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be.

[Christy Lee]

I hate pullover bras, too. Those sports bras.

[Tom Griswold]

God.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, you don't like them?

[Chick McGee]

I like this 8. I've never tried one of those on.

[Tom Griswold]

But I know that was the original title.

[Christy Lee]

You have to pull over them over your head.

[Tom Griswold]

The Eric Clapton song, Bell Bottom Blues. Really?

[Chick McGee]

Pull over.

[Tom Griswold]

You made me cry.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, that's. That's fair.

[Tom Griswold]

No, so far, we've discovered there really isn't a good brassiere song out there. Right, Right.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. Heywood's got a good one, but.

[Tom Griswold]

No, we just. Earlier we discussed this.

[Pat Godwin]

Brenda, put your bra on. That's.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that song.

[Christy Lee]

Brenda, put your.

[Josh Arnold]

You would love that.

[Pat Godwin]

Wonderful.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's great.

[Chick McGee]

Bloodhound Gang.

[Pat Godwin]

No, it's a country song. And it's got.

[Josh Arnold]

It's got. It's funny, too.

[Pat Godwin]

It's really funny.

[Tom Griswold]

I've never heard that. Well, I'll dig that on it. It's great. Earlier in the show, we discovered there's. There are good songs, but each day of the week we say there's not a good Thursday song.

[Christy Lee]

Right?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think there is.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, there are songs that go through all the days of the week, like Friday on My Mind, the great song from the Easy Beats. Who? Of course.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think there's a Wednesday song, is there?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, There's Wednesday morning, 3:00am by Simon.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that a song or just the title of the record? I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

No, I think it is a song. Yeah, I. Yeah, I think so.

[Josh Arnold]

Wednesday morning, five already.

[Chick McGee]

You're too close to the mic.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, thank you very much. Now, coming up, there are some Thursday.

[Christy Lee]

Songs, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Really? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

One of them is from Johnny Mathis. It's called Like a Summer. Oh, that's a different one. Sweet Thursday by Johnny Mathis.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Chances.

[Christy Lee]

A band you guys like. They Might Be Giants has a song called I Lost Thursday. Harry Nielsen has a song.

[Chick McGee]

Johnny Mathis is still athletes.

[Pat Godwin]

I love them.

[Christy Lee]

Here's why I did not go to work today.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's a Nelson song.

[Josh Arnold]

I love Nelson.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Most indulgent.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, man.

[Pat Godwin]

Jump into the fires.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Thursday by Morphine. I don't remember that one.

[Chick McGee]

It begins and ends with Buena and.

[Christy Lee]

Thursday's Child by David Bowie.

[Josh Arnold]

Thursday's Child by David Bowie.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't remember any of him.

[Chick McGee]

Remember that? My Monday show full of face. And Tuesdays by me. Hello, Tom. I was a major and then I lost my commission on Thursday.

[Tom Griswold]

The Thin White Duke. That's right.

[Pat Godwin]

One of as many persons. I love David, I. I'm with you, Chris Love.

[Josh Arnold]

It's the Thursday Dancing in the Dark.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you. Coming up. We're not gonna. Well, I tell you, we're gonna talk with the human being who's alive. Kevin Cronin, lead singer from reo.

[Chick McGee]

And we're gonna hear that song that Josh was. What's the song you're talking about?

[Pat Godwin]

Brenda, put your bra. It gets a little salty, so we may have to take our time.

[Christy Lee]

Brenda, put your.

[Pat Godwin]

I forget the.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, you listen to the show lately.

[Tom Griswold]

It's okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Seriously, this is right up your alley. This is a really good song.

[Tom Griswold]

As long as he doesn't sing in an accent. Then we're gonna go to the accent police because nobody has an accent. All right, once again, coming up, Reno Collier in the studio with us today. And Kevin Cronin from Aria will be our guests right now.

[Pat Godwin]

Reno's here. I'll get the Febreze.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Reno's here.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Yeah, I know. I'll get this.

[Josh Arnold]

Why not wear the shirt? That's gonna be awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

So nice.

[Christy Lee]

You guys are awful human beings.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's. Never mind.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyway, everybody be quiet. Bottom Tom show is sponsored by Better Help. Better Help is all about accessing therapy in a much more simpler way, more convenient way. I guess that's the key here because with Better Help, the therapy is done online. So among other things makes it so that if you've been maybe kind of worried about doing it, you don't want to have to sit down in the same room as someone you don't know and talk to them about deeply personal things. Now it's all done like a zoom call or like a phone call or even texting back and forth. The way it works is you fill out a questionnaire and you'll be matched with a therapist. By the way, There are some 30,000 plus credentialed therapists now working with this program and over 5 million people worldwide. So it's about talk therapy. And again, you can talk to that person like a zoom call or like a phone call. And it's very convenient because you don't have to get in the car, take the bus, take the train, whatever it would be to get to a different place. You can do it wherever you want to be when you want to do it and work on yourself. If you've been thinking about therapy, now is a much more easy way to try it. The way you find out more about this is you go to betterhelp.com btshow and again, the btshow part will knock 10% off your first month. That's BetterHelp. H E L P betterhelp.com BT B T Show so do some work on yourself. And again, a lot of people have been trying this. And again, it's, it's a really interesting way to get to therapy because it's so much more convenient. BetterHelp.com BTShow Coming up, once again, comedian Reno Collier, singer songwriter Kevin Cronin. And we have a lot of interesting stuff coming up in the world of sports and news, including the thieves that took a bunch of stuff from a bunch of big famous athletes while they were on the field doing their thing.

Nice fried chicken dinner.

Oh yum. Green beans, mashed potatoes.

[Josh Arnold]

Hang with listeners that love the show.

[Chick McGee]

Apple pie in somebody's hot tub this evening.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah, you that chicken left chicken.

[Pat Godwin]

Dolores, our children have school.

[Josh Arnold]

We have a show in the morning.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's some extra bubbles. All right. Let's go over to the sports page. Coming up, comedian Reno Collier. Joining us also, Kevin Cronin.

[Chick McGee]

I told him we wear swimsuits.

[Tom Griswold]

Singer, songwriter from REO For God's sake, stop interrupting me. Let's, let's go ahead with sports. I can barely stand it.

[Chick McGee]

Luka Doncic could not find his shot last night. It was his third game with the Lakers and LeBron James couldn't make up for it. Lakers all say they aren't worried though. No, no, there's nothing to worry about.

[Pat Godwin]

We're fine.

[Chick McGee]

Everything's fine.

[Tom Griswold]

They've only got 6,000 more games this season.

[Chick McGee]

They've, they lost last night to the Charlotte hornets and Los Angeles 197. Luca who lives on the second floor.

[Tom Griswold]

His name is Luca.

[Chick McGee]

Fourteen points. Now listen to the shooting percentage. Five of 18 and one of nine from three point range.

[Pat Godwin]

That's more of a shooting fraction.

[Chick McGee]

Five.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. One of nine, I think. I think you could do that, Josh.

[Pat Godwin]

I know I could.

[Tom Griswold]

One of nine.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm not. No, that's all I can do. But I can do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

The NFL salary cap. Somebody grabbed Christie. It will be between 277 and a half and 281 and a half million dollars per team for the 25 season. It goes up by as much as $26 million from last year.

[Pat Godwin]

I love when people are rich. Yes, yes.

[Chick McGee]

Give me. You know, if you want to share, that's fine.

[Pat Godwin]

I have a question.

[Tom Griswold]

Get rich.

[Chick McGee]

I will watch you buy stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a technical question that you might know. You know more.

[Chick McGee]

I'll try.

[Tom Griswold]

Do some teams not spend all the money?

[Chick McGee]

Certainly there are. There are listing of how many people. How many teams are farther on below the cap and actually one of the got some money to spend. The commanders, they're like $82 million.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm saying if you. If you don't spend it on an annual basis, can you spend it the next year?

[Chick McGee]

No. You can put it back into the team fund and you can, you know, have a kegger or a really nice Christmas party or.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, it sort of works like a fraternity or sorority.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly.

[Pat Godwin]

You got to spend that money, otherwise you won't get that.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you give it back to the fans?

[Chick McGee]

Cap expense.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, since we're so mediocre this season, thanks for spending the 5k in the season tickets.

[Chick McGee]

Hang on a second.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's 400 bucks.

[Chick McGee]

What was that last thing?

[Tom Griswold]

Give it back to the fans.

[Chick McGee]

Remember?

[Tom Griswold]

Can you imagine if they did wreck the pricing retroactively based on the quality of the team the previous season. Hey, White Sox fans, by the way, the tickets this year free.

[Pat Godwin]

Because you really are paying for something. You don't know what the quality is going to be.

[Chick McGee]

The National Football League came up with the psl, the personal seat license. Now this gives you. This is that been around for. I want to say decades. I want to buy season tickets. Okay. Season tickets cost $20,000 a year.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Congratulations. Well, first you have to give me $10,000 to buy the right to buy season tickets. Boy, that's what's known as a personal seat life.

[Christy Lee]

That's crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Although if you're a Raider, it's way.

[Chick McGee]

More than you get.

[Christy Lee]

Well, he's.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, God willing. Doge is looking at.

[Chick McGee]

But you get a really swell. You get a really swell box that says Raiders on the outside of it. And it's a replica of the stadium. So who wouldn't want that to that.

[Pat Godwin]

Put in the dumpster, the season ticket holder. Unboxing videos. I am always like, man, that does look pretty cool.

[Chick McGee]

How do you think I know what it looks like? I can't wait for these unboxing videos. Where were we? Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki. And once again, it's not too late to call yourself Rocky Sasaki.

[Pat Godwin]

It is.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, get on this.

[Pat Godwin]

Never too late to do the right thing. Rocky.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, isn't there a famous Rocky in the realm of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Asian pitchers of Japanese athletes?

[Pat Godwin]

I don't know Rocky.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry, excuse me, Japanese celebrities. Isn't the guy from the, what's the flipper on the table cooking thing guy's name? You know, the.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not helping.

[Pat Godwin]

Like an Iron Chef guy.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no. The Japanese place where you, they have the, you, you sit at a table. Benihana.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, the owner.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that guy's name Rocky?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, his nickname was Rocky.

[Pat Godwin]

I think what threw me. You said famous.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I don't think, I don't think he is. He's certainly not famous anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

If you go into Benihana. If you go into Benihana, there are like 400 pictures of that guy.

[Pat Godwin]

If I'm going to a tebanyaki restaurant, I'm not going to.

[Tom Griswold]

Benny. I know you don't even. You call it Tamanaki.

[Pat Godwin]

Teppanyaki. That's exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the tactical name.

[Pat Godwin]

No, no, that's the correct name.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I had no idea.

[Pat Godwin]

So what a dumb thing to get snooty about.

[Kevin Cronin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He's Rocky, right? Yeah. There's pictures of him with every famous celebrity, but no.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

How did he get those pictures?

[Chick McGee]

He must be famous.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I know. Yeah. Last time I was at Benihana, I saw Bobby De Niro.

[Chick McGee]

He goes there every Tuesday. It's his place.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know that you've been in.

[Chick McGee]

The east coast, the things you think are important.

[Tom Griswold]

Every Italian restaurant you go into, there's a picture of Sinatra there. Did you know that? It's Sinatra's house.

[Pat Godwin]

I like this guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Sinatra's house. Uh huh. There's a picture of him with every Italian restaurant owner in New Jersey.

[Pat Godwin]

I think that's funny.

[Chick McGee]

That's funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, we'll get back to this exciting story about this.

[Josh Arnold]

No, that was funny. I agree.

[Chick McGee]

He threw 27 pitches over two innings live batting at in spring training. And also Shohei has been throwing. Shohei Otani, remember he was a pitcher.

[Tom Griswold]

Is he gonna throw this?

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. He just might. They're hoping he will.

[Pat Godwin]

He's gonna hit home runs.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he'll hit home runs all right. Seven men from Chile.

[Tom Griswold]

But if that guy does call himself Rocky, then I'll have to play that Rocky theme all the time. So overplayed. What would you pick for yourself? What would you pick if you had that. That at back that the at bat music as you walk up.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever thought about what you'd have him play?

[Pat Godwin]

That's a great question. Yeah, maybe. Oh hell, maybe there's a song from corn I would maybe play.

[Chick McGee]

Forget what song would I I I I have one I I at bat song. I always, you know, Mark McGuire would.

[Pat Godwin]

Always walk up to welcome to the Jungle.

[Josh Arnold]

Don't you love center field?

[Tom Griswold]

That is in my list of the worst songs of all time.

[Chick McGee]

Whoa.

[Pat Godwin]

That's really surprising.

[Tom Griswold]

Despise that.

[Pat Godwin]

It's so wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

In what way? The crappy guitar sound or terrible lyrics?

[Pat Godwin]

Back of backyard baseball and wiffle ball and. Oh, that's a.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a terrific swing and a miss.

[Pat Godwin]

It uses.

[Tom Griswold]

Swing and a miss.

[Pat Godwin]

It's about dreams.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what I. That's a ladder song for me. If I were painting. Painting the house and that came out. I'd get down from the ladder, clean my hands off just to turn the sound off.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a heartache. Was coming down the ladder one for me.

[Chick McGee]

It's a heartache.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's. That, that's even worse if. If I have a gun with me that the radio goes. Sorry, speaker, you're done.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't know how you don't like this.

[Chick McGee]

I dislike it intensely.

[Pat Godwin]

Something must have happened where you guys had to play it a lot or something because this is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we, we did. We had to play this a lot.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't. Didn't Fogarty get caught up in stealing from himself or something?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wasn't that a big damn.

[Tom Griswold]

But he, you know, he's a brilliant guy.

[Pat Godwin]

He is a brilliant.

[Tom Griswold]

That song you say So I don't.

[Pat Godwin]

Think I'd ever want.

[Chick McGee]

Tom wants his picture taken with John Fogarty.

[Tom Griswold]

I've already met Mr. Forward. He's been on the show a couple time.

[Chick McGee]

You know who. Do you know who John Foger is best friends with?

[Tom Griswold]

Who?

[Chick McGee]

Rocky Bena.

[Pat Godwin]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

There's a picture of him and they're both naked.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Pat Godwin]

That's really incriminating. But a lie I always thought Right.

[Chick McGee]

Seven men from Chile. I love this joke. Are in a clown car.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Seven men from Chile have been charged in Florida federal Court. With orchestrating burger lores at the homes of prominent professional athletes around the country. The defendants are part of a burglary ring known to target high profile professional athletes when they're known to be away from home. Athletes include, for instance, Chiefs Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, Joe Burrow, the Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baker Mayfield, the NBA Milwaukee Bucks and the Memphis Grizzlies. The gentleman allegedly stole about $2 million in watches, jewelry, cash, and including a safe that they cracked. And as Tom said, they have a very successful Instagram page where they have their picture taken.

[Pat Godwin]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys.

[Chick McGee]

Merchandise.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys posed. You can see the one guy wearing the Kansas City jersey and the guys holding up.

[Chick McGee]

I think in one of the pictures there's an LSU with Burrow on the back.

[Pat Godwin]

It didn't even occur to them not to do that.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

So funny.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't think of it at all well.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're in custody. They think it's part of this huge ring. And I guess one of the guys says this. Amen. This is for busting my parlay. I'm taking all your stuff.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Pat Godwin]

Thanks for the watch.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, it's kind of a brilliant ring.

[Chick McGee]

It's always been there. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But. Well, a lot of those guys live in gated communities and they have security systems, so.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't get that. Trampolines movie.

[Christy Lee]

This will be a movie.

[Pat Godwin]

He's got to bring a trampoline with you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And I'm. This is. I. I got this. Is this sports?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. What is it?

[Chick McGee]

The ocean liner.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't get it. I didn't give it.

[Chick McGee]

I don't. I don't get it. Reading it.

[Christy Lee]

I can. I can take. It.

[Chick McGee]

Has left Philadelphia and is heading down south where it will soon become the world's largest artificial reef.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's important.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

The world's largest something.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no. This is because it's. They have the. They still hold the world record. Record.

[Christy Lee]

Who does?

[Tom Griswold]

This is the. This is the ship called the United States.

[Chick McGee]

Right. The SS United States is being towed to Mobile, Alabama.

[Tom Griswold]

Could you read it with some enthusiasm for plan? This is like listening to a seventh grader doing news for officials.

[Chick McGee]

Eventually they're going to sink it off the Florida.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. They make.

[Tom Griswold]

It's going to be super cool.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it will join.

[Pat Godwin]

Don't you think they can make money if they let people shoot bazookas at it?

[Kevin Cronin]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Like they're really leaving some money on the table here.

[Christy Lee]

Shoot.

[Pat Godwin]

I'd pay $2,500 to shoot a bazooka.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great idea.

[Christy Lee]

And then make it sink. You get to go out and boat a real battleship.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course, the problem would be you. You know, someone would probably shoot a bazooka at one of the other boats firing and, you know, sink some really nice Chris craft some.

[Pat Godwin]

Poor guy. Oh, Muffy.

[Tom Griswold]

You hit to the bow. These boats, oh, they're. They're. They're going to strip the boat down and they're going to sink. It's.

[Kevin Cronin]

This is cool.

[Christy Lee]

They do this a lot.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it's important.

[Tom Griswold]

They have.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know why we're talking about.

[Tom Griswold]

It, but they have dozens and dozens of sunken vessels in that area.

[Pat Godwin]

That's why I'm not against garbage in the seas. It becomes a reef.

[Christy Lee]

What the hell's wrong with you?

[Pat Godwin]

Science teaches us.

[Christy Lee]

That's a little penguin with the plastics decorated.

[Tom Griswold]

This is. But this was a famous ship that has the record for passing across the ocean. Whatever you call it, the passage across the ocean.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The famous bar that they had, the. The famous tavern aboard the ship is gonna. Now it's gonna be a dive bar.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, naturally it would, wouldn't it?

[Chick McGee]

And I don't care what he says or how he defends this, but I'm telling you, the term. All of that for the term dive bar. All of that, all of that.

[Josh Arnold]

Every single word.

[Tom Griswold]

And dive bar. We had this. That was a fascinating, fascinating thing.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it's fascinating.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, then divers get to go explore it.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That's pretty wild.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Like the Titanic. You can dive that.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They're not going to sink it that deep.

[Chick McGee]

You got to take a lot of air.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Giant thing.

[Chick McGee]

You might get squished now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yesterday we. Yesterday we had to cut short one of the most famous features on this program.

[Chick McGee]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

A. I'm talking about today in history.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you. No, no, no, no. You half assed it. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Since you didn't look in advance.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing. I have been. Do you have an addendum?

[Tom Griswold]

I do. I do. Yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

An addendum to Yesterday in history. February19, United States of America.

[Pat Godwin]

Please keep going until the commercials.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, the good Lord intended.

[Tom Griswold]

Keep going.

[Chick McGee]

A country of plenty from sea to shining sea.

[Tom Griswold]

Let him know I'm enjoying this. Keep going. Come on, bloviate tulip. You're good at it.

[Chick McGee]

From coast to coast.

[Tom Griswold]

Go ahead, Christy. Patent number 200521 was issued on this date in 1878. Remember what it was for?

[Chick McGee]

The whoopee cushion telephone.

[Tom Griswold]

You're close. Mousetrap. Radio telegram. It was of course, for the what we now call the phonograph.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's right. This is the thing where you want.

[Pat Godwin]

To see my bone.

[Chick McGee]

You think the photograph.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the famous recording from Thomas Edison. Of course we have the audio.

[Chick McGee]

First words I spoke in the original.

[Tom Griswold]

Mary had a type of. Everywhere that Mary went, I would get a visa.

[Pat Godwin]

It makes me uncomfortable.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? Just like that. He totally redeems himself people often and.

[Tom Griswold]

It'S kind of hard to understand what he's saying. I'll play it again. Again. This is the first recorded voice of all time. Here it is.

[Chick McGee]

First words I spoke in the original funnel.

[Tom Griswold]

Mary had a typical. And everywhere that Mary went, I would get a visa.

[Pat Godwin]

Thomas. Thomas.

[Tom Griswold]

How to get away with that?

[Pat Godwin]

Read what we wrote.

[Christy Lee]

Question.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that interesting that that was slang back then?

[Josh Arnold]

It must have been something else.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't believe he. He had the technology to beep out words.

[Chick McGee]

That was really something. Really something.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. Thank you. Thomas Edison, of course, responsible for today's recording industry.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We wouldn't have all these great songs that we know had Mr. Edison not somebody would have gotten a little piece of it.

[Chick McGee]

It's like the Pacific Ocean. We'd have found it.

[Pat Godwin]

I keep stepping in this.

[Chick McGee]

What the hell is this? Should we name it this ain't no lake? It seems a little bigger than the lake.

[Tom Griswold]

What are we gonna name it?

[Chick McGee]

Shut up. Balboa.

[Tom Griswold]

The ocean. The ocean of America we're calling it. Okay, what's coming up in sports?

[Chick McGee]

Love it. Love it. I can't get enough of it. Coming up in sports will be the end of sports.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That's my favorite sport.

[Chick McGee]

I know it.

[Tom Griswold]

Also coming up, comedian Reno Collier, singer, songwriter, Reno sings and song reo veterans. That was a comma there. Kevin Cronin will be our guest. And it's all coming up. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

Casey.

[Chick McGee]

The. The picture box, the. The talking machine.

[Pat Godwin]

I didn't know he was going to be on, but I Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend.

[Josh Arnold]

Did he hear from another friend who.

[Pat Godwin]

Heard it from a another.

[Tom Griswold]

You guys, stop messing around.

[Chick McGee]

And that song was popular. It was everywhere. And I opened my refrigerator one time and it started playing.

[Tom Griswold]

That was huge. That was a big one. Very good. We have Christy Lee over there at the Silac Insurance news list. But we're not done with sports. I understand.

[Chick McGee]

Did you have.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have more enlightening?

[Pat Godwin]

No, he said it was the absolute end.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We can only.

[Pat Godwin]

And then you said, oh, thank goodness. That's my favorite.

[Chick McGee]

This is the closest to sports we could. I thought you liked this song.

[Josh Arnold]

It is.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm a big fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

I would not seek it out.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm glad you guys don't like it because that just means I can listen to it more.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good.

[Chick McGee]

Not the way it works.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. We have Christy Lee. Once again, she is it.

[Chick McGee]

There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

Silenc Insurance news desk. Have we missed anything in the news?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, of course. We've missed a whole bunch. We didn't get to a lot of things yesterday. It's cold in a lot of places. Check local listings. And a Chinese tourist attraction known as Snow Village. Village has temporarily shut down.

[Tom Griswold]

The locals call it Chinese Restaurant Joke.

[Chick McGee]

The locals call it number seven.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, they have no snow. But they've been called out because they were using cotton and soapy water to make it appear though that the village was covered in snow.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. It's snowing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Come on out.

[Tom Griswold]

But it's not too bad. I mean, think about this. I mean, it's China. I'm surprised they're not using asbestos. Yeah. Hey, we got this stuff we were insulating houses with.

[Pat Godwin]

Don't they have enough cigarette ashes? I've been to Vegas.

[Chick McGee]

Is that the highest smokers per capita?

[Tom Griswold]

I think it has to be. Maybe.

[Christy Lee]

The Shanghai Morning Post reports that Chengdu Snow Village opening. Chengdu.

[Chick McGee]

Chengdu.

[Tom Griswold]

Chengdu.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

Opened at the end of January but closed after visitors complained about the obviously fake snow.

[Pat Godwin]

Tom does the fake name? Who flun do?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no. Who flung poo?

[Kevin Cronin]

That is better.

[Chick McGee]

And man. And man who farteth in church.

[Christy Lee]

Here we go.

[Chick McGee]

Sit in own pew. All children. These confucious. They're amazing.

[Pat Godwin]

He was a wise man.

[Chick McGee]

He was.

[Christy Lee]

Tourist Spot has since apologized to visitors saying the cotton used to create the snowy environment did not achieve the result they had anticipated.

[Tom Griswold]

Is is someone in the one of the head honchos of China? Isn't this the same the Dogs. Am I getting this right?

[Chick McGee]

Where they had the lions?

[Tom Griswold]

Dogs painted like lions?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Other places had the fake panda bears.

[Pat Godwin]

China is also the place that pretended like they didn't unleash a virus.

[Tom Griswold]

What a gag.

[Pat Godwin]

Try to help balance out some sort of.

[Tom Griswold]

But they sold a lot of masks.

[Christy Lee]

Not sure when they were real.

[Chick McGee]

Shut up. Confucius say, virginity, like bubble, is overrated. One prick all gone.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, someone take away the Confucius.

[Pat Godwin]

It loses a little in the translation.

[Christy Lee]

Last summer, a famous waterfall in central China's Henan province discovered Confucius.

[Tom Griswold]

Jesus. Would you let her get the story out?

[Chick McGee]

Pansies. Not best thing on earth. But next to it.

[Pat Godwin]

Next to it would be the vagina.

[Chick McGee]

I know they're talking. All right. Message received.

[Christy Lee]

They found it was piping in water.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to start over because no one heard the first sentence.

[Christy Lee]

Not the first time. Tour sites in China have made headlines after adopting unconventional measures. Last summer, a famous waterfall in central China's Henan province disappointed many who found it was piping in water during the dry season.

[Pat Godwin]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember.

[Pat Godwin]

Glad we stopped the fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Well, no, no. What fun?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's her fault.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. You got more Confucius jokes over there?

[Chick McGee]

Do I? Confucius say, man who stand on toilet.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

High on. On pot. Are you kidding me?

[Tom Griswold]

I withdraw my criticism. That is. That is brilliant comedy.

[Chick McGee]

Confucius say man who fishes in another woman's well often catches crab. Oh, wow. That's an std.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a feeling. I'm just guessing. These were not written by folks of Chinese heritage. People who had anything to do. The closest they ever got to China might have been La choy chop suey.

[Pat Godwin]

This was. These were eight Jewish white guys.

[Chick McGee]

Confucious in the hall. To meet girl in park is good, but to park meet in girl is better.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what? These are four guys in Brooklyn.

[Chick McGee]

We all ended with Confucius say. Thank you. Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank these guys for setting back in international relations 50 years.

[Christy Lee]

A new York State man checked an item off his bucket list after building himself a giant igloo. According to Syracuse.com Noel McCarthy and Kimberly Bemet had been working on the igloo on the shore of Oneida Lake. Using an antique ice saw and ice tongs, Mr. McCarthy, a custom cabinet maker cuts blocks of ice from the lake and drags them back to work on by.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Pat Godwin]

So he really made an old school with a toboggan.

[Christy Lee]

He's like dragging them.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, this is like the beginning of the. The movie Frozen.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They're great scene where they're pulling a bunch of singing and pulling the ice up. That's cool.

[Christy Lee]

Each block in the base layer weighs about 300 pounds. Mr. McCarthy estimates the igloo will weigh over 8,000 pounds when it's all completed.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. This thing is so cool. There you go. Look at that. That it's lit from the inside.

[Pat Godwin]

Beautiful, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

What a gorgeous spot too. Look at those cool houses.

[Chick McGee]

Five times bigger than my first apartment. I know it is. Look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever make an igloo when you were a kid?

[Pat Godwin]

We did, but we built.

[Tom Griswold]

We.

[Pat Godwin]

We just got a bunch of snow piled up and carved it out of that. We didn't make individual.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember. We made it. Yeah. Kind of a snow cave.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's very cool. Very cool. When you're a kid. Well, good for them.

[Christy Lee]

That's quite the igloo. You're right.

[Tom Griswold]

And you can use the word igloo. That's still okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I was wondering the same thing.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, it better be. We gotta knock it off.

[Tom Griswold]

I know the Eskimo pie thing got canceled, but.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, by like one group. Even Eskimos aren't mad about that.

[Chick McGee]

Indigenous.

[Christy Lee]

They're Inuit.

[Tom Griswold]

I understand that today's ignos have pretty good wi fi.

[Christy Lee]

Do they?

[Tom Griswold]

It's nice to know. I guess the signal permeates the.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Josh Arnold]

Hell of a cooler too, the igloo.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course.

[Christy Lee]

The signal will permeate the ice.

[Chick McGee]

Any guests on the website? Look at.

[Christy Lee]

It's hard to get the cable in though. That's the tough part.

[Chick McGee]

Today's salmon.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we're going to talk with comedian Reno Collier. We also have confucious.

[Chick McGee]

Say man. Who go to bed with itchy butt.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Wake up with smelly fingers.

[Tom Griswold]

That is even. That is even subtle.

[Chick McGee]

That's a classic one, to be honest. This is at the end of the list.

[Reno Collier]

So they got tired, I'm sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I guess the. I guess the funny guy in the. Of the four went out to pick up the. Pick up lunch.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you should hear some of the ones I can.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever been ghosted? Coming up, we have ghosting in the news, volcano news, and of course germs in the news. And then an interesting movie story about movie theaters. And Josh, of course, used to be a movie theater.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no. He was in the movies.

[Pat Godwin]

I was in the cinema business.

[Tom Griswold]

What was your rank as an usher?

[Chick McGee]

Your manager?

[Pat Godwin]

I. Well, I was usher and then I eventually became crew chief. Yeah, that's head usher.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Pat Godwin]

And then manager.

[Chick McGee]

Boom.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have to like order the popcorn and all that stuff?

[Pat Godwin]

When I was manager, yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that had to be confused. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh no, it was good.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what you're doing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I did. But we had to count all the candy and see how much we needed to stock for the next week.

[Chick McGee]

We ordered candy.

[Josh Arnold]

When you counted the candy charge of.

[Tom Griswold]

The candy, when you were, when you were counting the candy, would it be like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. I'll take this one.

[Chick McGee]

Two for me.

[Christy Lee]

You guys are mean.

[Pat Godwin]

I would open up the snow caps, eat half and then fill it in with gravel. Of course, very carefully glue them back.

They'll never notice.

Yeah, I'm down down at the bottom.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you're not. You're not gonna be at the event also appearing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, one of those deals.

[Pat Godwin]

Some people make posters and those that aren't going to be at the event don't make the poster at all.

[Christy Lee]

That's true.

[Pat Godwin]

Where Tom says, you know, actually you know what? I don't blame Tom the way the whining around.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's unbelievable. I wasn't an intent.

[Chick McGee]

Does art know he's on this poster?

[Tom Griswold]

Not yet. Oh, he's gonna. He's art on the poster. As a friend of mine would say, he is going to plots.

[Christy Lee]

Why is he on the poster?

[Tom Griswold]

Because him plottzing makes my year.

[Pat Godwin]

We love him.

[Tom Griswold]

We do love him.

[Chick McGee]

It would be great. I had to block his number, but I like him.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, that's a friend of ours. Now let's I move forward here.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there's Reno. Okay. Right between Ali Breen and some guy named Martin.

[Reno Collier]

It's like those band posters where it's like Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton. Then they get real small at the bottom and the band names. Yeah. Please welcome the band chair.

[Chick McGee]

The Spiral Cramp.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I like Cher.

[Pat Godwin]

Don't see the chair is very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Don't you love those old posters though where it'll be bands you've never heard of them. The Led Zeppelin.

[Reno Collier]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

They opening some guy no one's ever heard. Oh, I guess they did okay.

[Pat Godwin]

I always like the old posters where the guy booking it kind of didn't know who he was booking. So you'll see the led Zeppelin tonight. $7.

[Reno Collier]

I like going into casinos, like and they have the old bands that'll come through. And you see like a poster of Toto. But they're. But they're like. Like 95 now. Yeah, but at the time in the picture it's like Toto and it's like I don't even remember, you know, that's like back when. When you didn't Christopher Cross.

[Pat Godwin]

You sure.

[Reno Collier]

Who I actually really like listening to.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

But as soon as people saw him, it changed what everybody thought he would look like when they listened to the song. You know, like that.

[Tom Griswold]

He talks about that. Does he really? Oh yeah. It's kind of a video kill the radio station.

[Reno Collier]

That's exactly. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And he. If you not remember his early albums, there was not a picture of him on there.

[Reno Collier]

That's right.

[Pat Godwin]

He's a bit of a fatty. Fat, fat, fat.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he was a big.

[Chick McGee]

There was a flamingo.

[Reno Collier]

There was a flamingo.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Pat Godwin]

No, he was too fat for.

[Christy Lee]

Too fat for radio or tv.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Pat Godwin]

But really not that fat.

[Reno Collier]

No, no.

[Christy Lee]

Nowadays he wasn't MTV pretty is what the problem.

[Chick McGee]

Sailing to get a burger. That was the original.

[Pat Godwin]

Wasn't that a change?

[Tom Griswold]

No, it was originally was bowling.

[Chick McGee]

Bowling. Maybe closer to the food.

[Pat Godwin]

His real name is Christopher Krasinski.

[Tom Griswold]

That's actually pretty close now. We have Christy Lee over there. You can see her. She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. We'll talk with Reno, see what's going on in your life. I know that you're doing some stuff with a Mr. Foxworthy. You got some stuff coming up around the corner with as you call Him, Cable guy. And we'll find out about all that stuff coming up. We're also going to talk with Kevin Cronin of REO later, but right now, Christy, what over there is tickling your fancy?

[Christy Lee]

It's not tickling mine, but it might tickle Josh's.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

A California assemblyman has introduced a bill to make Bigfoot the official state cryptid. According to Newsweek, Assemblyman Chris Rogers introduced the bill titled AB666 on Valentine's Day.

[Pat Godwin]

Why the demonic.

[Chick McGee]

The official state make believe monster.

[Christy Lee]

It reads, quote.

[Pat Godwin]

Excuse me.

[Christy Lee]

This bill would state the intent of the legislature to enact legislation that would designate Bigfoot as the official state cryptid.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't like this.

[Christy Lee]

The bill will now go straight to the floor for a vote.

[Pat Godwin]

You would think I would. You were correct in assuming I would like this because this is completely. This is just decorative, if you will.

[Christy Lee]

You think they're making fun of it?

[Pat Godwin]

Doesn't sound to me like there's gonna be a budget toward protecting the big.

[Christy Lee]

Feet or finding the.

[Chick McGee]

You seem to bristle at 666.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't understand the demonic numerology.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I don't understand. Why does California have the right. Shouldn't it be Washington state?

[Christy Lee]

Well, Northern California.

[Tom Griswold]

This would be like your home state of Missouri, making the palm tree the official tree of Missouri.

[Pat Godwin]

I see what you're saying. But Northern California does have its sightings, of course, in the Pacific Northwest.

[Tom Griswold]

There isn't the original Bigfoot sighting, though, in Washington state either.

[Pat Godwin]

I forget what that big. That creek. Exactly. If that was Oregon or Washington.

[Chick McGee]

Bobcat made a movie about creek.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that.

[Chick McGee]

No, Willow Creek. Willow Creek, that's it. Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so that was California then.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Northern California.

[Reno Collier]

You don't. Don't make fun of the Bigfoot people.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, I never would.

[Reno Collier]

No, no. I mean, like, I did a History Channel thing and we were doing. It was only in America and we were traveling trying to follow Bigfoot people. And cable guy went off with them into the woods at like 3:00 in the morning. And I got sick of standing down there waiting because I wasn't in the episode. So I hit. And at like 2:00 in the morning, I was like. And I screamed out. And you could see the lights, like, freaking out, going back and forth. They came back down. They were like, we got it. We finally got some real audio. They sent it to Texas A and M. It came back 99% positive. Not human. Probably a large dog. And it was me.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Chick McGee]

The whole time.

[Reno Collier]

And they put it on History Channel. And then he goes on a radio thing and starts talking about how I made the noise.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

And the Bigfoot people came unglued on me.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, they should have.

[Tom Griswold]

Why?

[Pat Godwin]

Because you're mucking with scientific research.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

I'm mocking people that are trying to give beef jerky and they're taking a stick, rubbing it on the side of the tree and the.

[Pat Godwin]

That's right. That's why they got knocking, is how big feet communicate.

[Chick McGee]

The Bigfoot themselves communicate.

[Reno Collier]

I know. I know that. Yeah, I know that.

[Pat Godwin]

I wish you wouldn't.

[Reno Collier]

You think they're aliens, don't you?

[Pat Godwin]

No, I think they're Bigfoots.

[Reno Collier]

You really believe in it?

[Tom Griswold]

Is it. What is the correct plural?

[Pat Godwin]

Well, big feet, it changes. And you got to be careful because.

[Tom Griswold]

I was saying, for example, a computer mouse, if you have more than one, it is technically computer mouses.

[Pat Godwin]

Right, right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

But if you have a little. Those little critters. Those are mice.

[Pat Godwin]

I prefer Sasquatch. Really? And I treat Sasquatch like you would deer or fish. It's singular and plural.

[Chick McGee]

I love you.

[Tom Griswold]

Guys like to say important work.

[Pat Godwin]

It really is.

[Josh Arnold]

No, he actually does believe.

[Pat Godwin]

You do. I love to believe that. There's that Sasquatch ex.

[Reno Collier]

I know this has been asked before, but those shows would end if they ever found one.

[Christy Lee]

Well, right, right.

[Pat Godwin]

That's why when they do find them, they don't talk, they don't tell anybody.

[Reno Collier]

And they bury themselves so nobody can find them, too.

[Chick McGee]

Look at him.

[Pat Godwin]

That's natural.

[Christy Lee]

He's becoming a believer.

[Pat Godwin]

When a Bigfoot dies, we don't know the decomp rate of a Sasquatch. So of course it could be. It could be two days.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen Sasquatch Sunset yet? Yet?

[Christy Lee]

No, because I'm not sure what family Bigfoot.

[Chick McGee]

No, that's. This is the. No, that's Will from 2013. Bobcat directed that, but that's available out there. David and Nathan Zellner expand their fascination with Bigfoot into a feature film. Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg, Just two of the four big feet in Sasquatch Sunset.

[Pat Godwin]

I know you saw it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it was.

[Christy Lee]

They don't talk, do they? No, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

They. They get their meaning across with each other.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, yeah.

[Reno Collier]

Telepathically.

[Pat Godwin]

Will you please not.

[Chick McGee]

You're being really snobby.

[Tom Griswold]

Does a lady Bigfoot have big hairy boobs?

[Chick McGee]

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Much like a lady gorilla.

[Chick McGee]

There's a scene in Sasquatch Sunset, and even big feet. Big feet are fans. Of doggy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Well. And most animals.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They go that far?

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

They. Well, they have to reproduce or.

[Chick McGee]

Where do you think baby big feet come from?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Stupid me. And I'm glad that California is. They've solved all the problems legislature needs to look at like fire prevention that they have time to have an official big boy.

[Pat Godwin]

No, we were having a decent time.

[Chick McGee]

There's a mom, a dad, a teenage son and the circumstances and craps all.

[Reno Collier]

Over it and you know all that. Cuz, remember on $6 million man there was Bigfoot and a little Bigfoot.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, is that right?

[Christy Lee]

I don't remember.

[Reno Collier]

Remember $6 million man?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I remember.

[Reno Collier]

He fought bigfoot far too young.

[Tom Griswold]

Far too young.

[Reno Collier]

Oh, you know what, dude?

[Josh Arnold]

I was. I was actually dating at the time, so.

[Reno Collier]

Thanks.

[Chick McGee]

I find it. I find it interesting that Reno crapping on Bigfoot, but loves the six million dollar man.

[Reno Collier]

Well, that's cuz he's real. You guys are talking about things that.

[Tom Griswold]

Aren'T real these days.

[Christy Lee]

I was gonna say Tom's had some heart procedures. You're about up there.

[Tom Griswold]

But for 6 million bucks these days. Yeah, you're lucky to get a pig heart. Yeah, you're not gonna. If you want the full head to toe thing, that's. You're gonna need some coin, mister. Coming up in the news, Christy, Coming.

[Christy Lee]

Up we have a volcano in Italy and Kilauea. Two volcano stories. Stories. Today we have gloves in the news and a very interesting. I didn't think about this.

[Chick McGee]

This sounds like one of those stories. Gloves in the news.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll be. You'll be quite stunned.

[Chick McGee]

I. I bet I won't be. But I. I look forward to the challenge.

[Christy Lee]

If you have ever been ghosted, you are not alone. We'll talk about it.

[Tom Griswold]

And ghosting. This is interesting because it's not just ghosting. In a dating situation, any situation, sort of disappearing. Yeah, we got that coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Chick McGee. Also coming up, QR code stickers in the news in a bizarre way. That's all I'm going to tell you. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're all here. There's Christy Lee.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that music.

[Josh Arnold]

I wrote it.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold. There's Pat Gahadwood.

[Pat Godwin]

You're watching Net Drag.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom. How are you? We've got a special guest.

[Tom Griswold]

We do indeed. He's Reno Collier, comedian, southern man and man of leisure.

[Pat Godwin]

Southern man don't need you around anyhow.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Reno Collier]

That's right.

[Pat Godwin]

And never forget it. Neil, you whiny Canadian.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, now I'm awake.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's bust some stuff at King Rocks.

[Chick McGee]

He's the man.

[Tom Griswold]

We were discussing something earlier. Reno. Days of the week certainly have their songs.

[Chick McGee]

Saturday night's all right for a fight.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Saturday's got the most songs. Maybe. I'm not sure. Then there's that dreadful song, Sunday will never be the Same.

[Chick McGee]

Let's get some poon on Saturday Night. Remember that one?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Monday, Monday, Friday on My Mind.

[Reno Collier]

George Jones had a Friday song too.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there a Thursday song? Was our question. And there's a couple no one's ever heard of. Pat, didn't the Beatles song Eight Days a Week have two Thursdays in it? Thank you. You'll look that up, really? Just trying to remember. I don't know, but is there a decent Thursday song? This is a good challenge for Pat because Chick was saying Thursday doesn't really have.

[Chick McGee]

Thursday doesn't have a feeling feel all the other days. Will we have a feel?

[Pat Godwin]

I'm the most tired on a Thursday.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Although Thursday night has become around here anyway. But I think all across the country, Thursday night is a pre party night.

[Tom Griswold]

I think right in college, Thursday night was.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The party.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There was a Big damn deal. Last night, I think Duke was playing about North Carolina, somebody. They were playing basketball games.

[Pat Godwin]

Sure were.

[Chick McGee]

And that's Duke basketball.

[Tom Griswold]

They're trying. They're trying to do.

[Chick McGee]

They've got it. They got an uncharacteristic snowfall and the Chancellor came out at mid court and said, I have an announcement to make. All classes tomorrow are canceled.

[Reno Collier]

And the place went nuts.

[Pat Godwin]

Lost their minds.

[Chick McGee]

It was hilarious.

[Pat Godwin]

Amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

And I love the name Chancellor for a position. It sounds like it's almost like a religious figure.

[Chick McGee]

There's the Chancellor.

[Tom Griswold]

We have the bishop. The Chancellor, the Pope and Reno. No.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, I'm looking here. And even the Cure, that big song they had, they don't even. They mentioned Thursday only once in the Dirty Thing.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

It's great for bars.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah, like college bar. Like Thirsty Thursday Dollar Long nights.

[Tom Griswold]

That was the big noise.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Drinking for a Lincoln.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Reno Collier]

Drinking for Lincoln.

[Tom Griswold]

You have a song. Is this a Thursday tribute?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no. This is the Cure. Like that first draft of their.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, yeah, great.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't care if Monday. I've had no job since March this year. Thursday, I'll drink a case of beer. Is it Friday? I'm confused. This day, that day. What day's next? Is it Fourth of July? Well, I'm perplexed. Oh, Thursday's here. No, welfare check. Oh, it's Friday. Are you sure? It's Saturday. Wait, no, it's Sunday. I should check. Check the date. It's Monday. I can't get this straight. I don't care if Tuesdays rain. Wednesday, Sunday, Thursday, same every morning.

[Tom Griswold]

Groundhog Day.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it Friday? I'm unemployed. Then they refine it.

[Tom Griswold]

That is very, very nice. Now, we have Christy Lee over there. I can see hear from here. She's at the SILAC Insurance news desk. What's going on?

[Christy Lee]

If you've ever been ghosted, you're far from alone. A new survey reveals just how common the practice is. According to a poll of 1500 people from the phone number management company, Number Barn.

[Pat Godwin]

Come on with that.

[Chick McGee]

All numbers must go today at the Number Bar. We've got nines, we've got sixes.

[Pat Godwin]

We are sold out of twos. Sold out of twos.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry, that's the number number.

[Christy Lee]

Majority of respondents, 65%, said they have been ghosted in a personal, professional or dating context at least once in the past 12 months. Takes about three unanswered attempts to reach out before someone decides they have been officially ghosted. The main reasons?

[Chick McGee]

Well, irritated with You.

[Christy Lee]

Apparently the reason people ghost. They lost interest, sense. Conflict avoidance. 50% red flags. So if you're dating and a red flag comes up. There you go. Or personal circumstances such as stress or getting overwhelmed with life. Only one quarter of respondents have reconciled with someone who ghosted them.

[Chick McGee]

That was such an old. One quarter reconciled.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. One quarter reconciled with folks that ghosted them.

[Chick McGee]

I think that would be almost impossible to reconcile with someone who's ghosted. I don't.

[Pat Godwin]

How do you even bother?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

But also, you get ghosted. You can get ghosted if you apply for a job.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And you go back for an interview, Then you don't hear anything. Well, I guess. I guess I should have not taken my genitals out during the interview.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah, you got to get through. It's like when you. When you. I used to have to. When I drank a lot. I have to go around in the morning and do my apology tour.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, gee.

[Reno Collier]

You know what I mean. And then if you get to them early, they don't ghost you. But if you don't get there, you don't hear from them. And even now.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Reno Collier]

It could go on forever.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, well, I'd love to be ghosted more often.

[Christy Lee]

Would you?

[Reno Collier]

It's kind of good.

[Pat Godwin]

Simplify my life, Josh.

[Chick McGee]

And I've had that.

[Tom Griswold]

Joshi, why won't you call me back.

[Chick McGee]

Every now and then? Josh and I will make plans, and as a gift to me, Josh will text me and cancel because he knows.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want to. Really?

[Chick McGee]

He knows you're gonna cancel or I'm gonna can. It's like happy birthday all over again.

[Pat Godwin]

Sometimes it is a game of ch.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Christy Lee]

Who's gonna cancel?

[Chick McGee]

Well, he's gonna cancel. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll go there. Hey, the wedding's off. We don't have to drive there.

[Reno Collier]

Yay.

[Chick McGee]

Has anyone ever wanted to go to anyone else's wedding in the history of.

[Pat Godwin]

The 25 weddings I've gone to? Maybe three.

[Tom Griswold]

Retrospect. He didn't want to go to either of yours.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't want to go to any of the three of mine. Oh, God.

[Christy Lee]

German police are investigating the mysterious appearance of 1000 QR code stickers.

[Pat Godwin]

Weird.

[Christy Lee]

That were placed on gravestones and wooden crosses in Munich.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The QR codes, when scanned, they keep track of stuff, though show the name of the person buried in the grave and its location in the cemetery, but nothing else.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Christy Lee]

Police spokesperson Christian Drexler told the Associated Press. We haven't found any pattern behind this yet. This is bizarre.

[Tom Griswold]

We had it.

[Chick McGee]

So you go to a tombstone and there's a QRD stuck to it.

[Christy Lee]

QR code. Yeah, and it shows the name of that person.

[Tom Griswold]

And hang on a minute. We had that. We had a story like this where it was done deliberately. And I remember that. That's. Here we go.

[Pat Godwin]

In this case. I'm sorry. That story, Christy, where did it say the QR codes went?

[Christy Lee]

When you look on gravestones and wooden crosses, when scanned, they would show the name of the person buried in the grave and its location in the cemetery, but nothing else. You already know who it is.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, I get a directory having a QR code at the front of a cemetery. But why each. Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

No, but here's the thing. This came out last year. A company is adding QR codes to gravestones that will link to online video memorial.

[Pat Godwin]

I think that can be nice.

[Christy Lee]

That makes sense.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it does make sense.

[Tom Griswold]

They compile a web page of the person's life that is attached to a QR code which is engraved on the. The headstone.

[Christy Lee]

Now, see, now that's kind of cool.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I. I see that has. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm assuming the engraving, that has to be some kind of computer tool.

[Christy Lee]

It's just a laser.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, a laser engraving.

[Tom Griswold]

There's not some. There's not some incredible artists. No, Luigi, don't put the thing over there. Oh, that's gonna go somewhere else.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, there's a little.

[Chick McGee]

Hello and welcome. You're at Tom Griswold's grave. Tom died in 2026.

[Pat Godwin]

Let's say we're still trying to solve the murder.

[Chick McGee]

Some say he was killed by co workers. Others agree he was killed by co workers.

[Tom Griswold]

If you want to crap on it, please do.

[Christy Lee]

If you like to urinate, man with a hammer and a chisel sitting out there putting in the.

[Tom Griswold]

On the tombstone, that would be a skill. But you and I talked about the other day. One of the things I don't. I. This is. Maybe it's going away. When you go to a restaurant Reno, and they don't have a menu, you've got to do the QR code. And as Christy pointed out. Oh, great. Now, another reason for people to get their phones out.

[Chick McGee]

I just. I don't know why you're against this. You don't ever look at the menu as it is. You always talk to the server. You don't care if it's QR code or no.

[Reno Collier]

But I don't trust you.

[Tom Griswold]

Put the phone away now. Weren't graveyards one of the last Places people were whipping out their cell phones. Phones.

[Christy Lee]

Do you allow cell phones at the dinner table?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Chick McGee]

And how does that work? How does that. How's that.

[Christy Lee]

How's that working?

[Tom Griswold]

Good.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

Fair enough.

[Chick McGee]

So if I come by tonight or whenever for dinner.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, please come by tonight.

[Chick McGee]

I won't be there for dinner. And I. And there won't be a cell phone at the table?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Including yours.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Never.

[Pat Godwin]

That's gotta backfire on some parents. Hey, no cell phones at the table. Okay? Then their kids sit down, feed all their food to the dog, and run to their bedroom where the phone is.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so you have. You have been to my house.

[Josh Arnold]

You talk about your day, then ask about what's going on.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, we talk about your day.

[Christy Lee]

We did that.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you make anybody laugh today?

[Christy Lee]

That was the best part of your day.

[Tom Griswold]

That sort of thing.

[Josh Arnold]

They like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think they like it, but we force it on them.

[Pat Godwin]

My family did that, too. What was something you learned today? What was your favorite class?

[Chick McGee]

What are you grateful for?

[Pat Godwin]

Don't talk that way to your mother. And then the Kool Aid. Glass against the wall. The blue blood.

[Josh Arnold]

We had to clean.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not wearing pants because they're in the dryer.

[Chick McGee]

Where's my bowling ball?

[Reno Collier]

The door slam.

[Chick McGee]

Dad. For six years, my mom stopped hitting me. I wouldn't talk to her like that.

[Josh Arnold]

Why is dad staggering all the time?

[Tom Griswold]

But see, so back to this graveyard thing. And this may be. This may be the new thing down the road where you. You had. Everyone's gonna. Because think about it. If you're. If you're 15 years old, there are going to be so many pictures of you these days because your parents had a. Had a phone with a camera, and they're constantly.

[Christy Lee]

If you can access them.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm just so. You know, 100 years from now, they'll. I imagine a lot of these obituaries will be thousands of photographs of people. And you go to the graveyard and you. You go scan it, and then there'll be some joker that has it switched to a porn movie. I. Well, I wanted to see the baby pictures and.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, dear God.

[Tom Griswold]

God, this is interesting.

[Reno Collier]

If somebody has one on, like on a T shirt and someone takes their picture, does it make the phone go to the scan code?

[Pat Godwin]

If you hit these, you have to press the scan part. There's a box.

[Reno Collier]

So you can't just wear a T shirt around.

[Pat Godwin]

And you can.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

You know, it won't automatically. If you're Taking a picture. It won't automatically go to the website.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Unless you push. Push the push.

[Reno Collier]

Tap the middle of it. Because they have those things like at Civil War parks and stuff like that for. Because that's what would make sense for the cemetery.

[Pat Godwin]

Exactly.

[Reno Collier]

It's like the history of. You hit it and It'll go in 1864. The South.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's great.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Mommy. Did the Union army really have QR codes on their uniforms?

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Reno Collier]

There was no Union army sign.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you. You take the south thing seriously.

[Reno Collier]

It was the war of Northern aggression.

[Pat Godwin]

Should decide.

[Chick McGee]

Holy hell states.

[Pat Godwin]

Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Boy.

[Christy Lee]

Where do we go from here? Those of you who like to knit, listen up.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody shut up. My topic at last.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Movie theaters across Europe are hosting so called knit and flick nights. The trans started. Yeah, I know.

[Chick McGee]

So they don't know how the. They don't know how the rhyming thing works.

[Christy Lee]

That or never mind. A lot of ladies involved. The trend started in the Nordic countries, but has swiftly spread throughout the continent.

[Chick McGee]

You love it.

[Christy Lee]

Vienna's Votive Kino has become the latest movie theater in Europe to offer craft cinema nights since the launch event in December.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, you don't approve of this Monthly.

[Christy Lee]

Knitting nights have sold out drawing almost 180 visitors each time. 28 year old movie theater.

[Tom Griswold]

These days that's a packed house at a movie theater.

[Christy Lee]

Alexander Koch told afp. It's very, very calming and pleasant. Why not let out your inner granny? So they have to leave the lights on though. I would assume if you're gonna knit.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, you can't.

[Reno Collier]

Only the pros don't even look.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

My grandmother never even looked down.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

She just. Absolutely.

[Reno Collier]

And then there's a castle on a pillow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Like it's amazing to me. I don't know how anyone can do that. It's so amazing.

[Christy Lee]

I used to crochet, but I never got the knitting. I think. I think I made maybe a square once.

[Pat Godwin]

A cross stitch for a little bit.

[Josh Arnold]

My mom. My mom.

[Christy Lee]

I'm out.

[Josh Arnold]

My mom made us knit. She. She taught us all how to knit.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh really?

[Tom Griswold]

Can you.

[Pat Godwin]

Could you do it today? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom, you sewing a button?

[Chick McGee]

Did you hear Josh used to cross stitch?

[Christy Lee]

Cross stitch. Did you make some pillowcases?

[Pat Godwin]

I made Christmas ornaments.

[Chick McGee]

The. The white trash of the craft world.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the cross?

[Christy Lee]

How does that exes.

[Chick McGee]

It's. It is.

[Pat Godwin]

It really is. You're just.

[Chick McGee]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's like. Like paint by numbers, only with thread.

[Pat Godwin]

You're exactly right. And it's really. It's really simple. And you really do just make a series of X's that form a design. So I would make a candy cane or whatever and then put it in a little frame and give it to.

[Chick McGee]

My grandmother who I shat this out granny.

[Tom Griswold]

And that.

[Chick McGee]

That, that.

[Tom Griswold]

That helps you with your hand eye coordination.

[Pat Godwin]

I think so. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which would come in later when you knitted. Knitted a very special sleeve. Nice.

[Pat Godwin]

I'll not have you joke about my beloved c sleeve. I'm wearing it now on these cold.

[Chick McGee]

Very snug.

[Pat Godwin]

I had to let it out.

[Tom Griswold]

The original design did not take two messence into account.

[Christy Lee]

I was so my yarn doesn't stretch.

[Pat Godwin]

Or my current peronis.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe if knitted some gloves. Well, we have a warning for you. Hygiene experts are warning gloves could be contaminated with four times more pathogens than a toilet sticker.

[Pat Godwin]

Do you remember during COVID a doctor came out fairly early on and went, no, no, please don't be wearing gloves at the grocery stores. All they. They're magnets.

[Christy Lee]

A variety of gloves were tested. Researchers found cycling gloves had the highest germ reading ratings with woolen gloves second. Suede gloves coming in third.

[Chick McGee]

How do things stick to I guess embeds in there, though?

[Christy Lee]

Gloves not only pick up bacteria. This is why every surface not use.

[Tom Griswold]

Them to wipe your ass. Well, you have your wiping gloves or what?

[Pat Godwin]

I. I'm not kidding. The wiping glove.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great. Would be a great idea.

[Christy Lee]

But the inside of the one word for you. Contaminant.

[Chick McGee]

Mink.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. You don't want to go Brillo.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. There may be some plumbing issues down the road.

[Chick McGee]

They like it rough. Josh.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Asso ass pads.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Pink eye warning. Yeah. So the inside of the gloves, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Well, you didn't. You guys were all talking gloves not only pick up bacteria from every surface they touch, but the inside of gloves can also be contaminated if you put unwashed hands in them.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, but. All right. Do you guys wash your winter gloves often or.

[Christy Lee]

I've never.

[Reno Collier]

I don't think I've ever washed mine either.

[Pat Godwin]

Are you filthy?

[Chick McGee]

Filthy?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't even have them.

[Pat Godwin]

Animals.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm a man in the cold.

[Chick McGee]

I don't need gloves. I'm barely a person.

[Pat Godwin]

You know what, Pat? I used to kind of have a similar philosophy like who wears a scarf? Now when I wear a scarf, I'm like, this is never coming off.

[Chick McGee]

I love my various scarves. You look good, Mr.

[Pat Godwin]

I used to think using an umbrella was not manly. Now I'm. Give me three.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

When I see you skip out of here in a scarf it's very attractive.

[Chick McGee]

Can I talk to you later about kissing me? Didn't think it was going to go that way.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know.

[Chick McGee]

Can I tell you about Raycons, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

If you. Why don't you.

[Chick McGee]

[Tom Griswold]

Tom thank you very much. Chick Magee. Coming up we have comedian Reno Collier. He's right over there. We're to talk with Kevin Cronin, the singer and songwriter from the great band reo. I know he's going out this summer with a new band. That'll be really cool. And we're also going to hear hear interesting stories about what?

[Christy Lee]

Christy Lee Volcanoes and constipation.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. You get a constipated volcano lookout any day now.

[Chick McGee]

Sometimes when you're. Don't you want to just a volcano just.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that'd be a great name for a xlax.

[Chick McGee]

The hell with that. Give me Volcano. That'll get things moving.

[Tom Griswold]

You won't be constipated. You will actually launch. We guarantee it.

[Pat Godwin]

Use new Palm Poo.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, very good. From the makers of Volcano or Shelf.

[Christy Lee]

We'll be back. Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

Add to or continue the conversation. Check out the Bob and Tom show on Facebook. Get the [e-mail] this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

Working.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. It's Thursday, the day that has no feeling. There's Christy Lee and Josh Arnold, Pat Godwin, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Tom, introduce our guest, won't you?

[Tom Griswold]

And you brought up an interesting topic. Yes. Our guest is comedian Reno Collier. He is with us here in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. What is the most tasteless of all foods? I mean, flavorless is what I mean.

[Chick McGee]

Water. Water. Cashew is pretty close to nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

Water chestnuts.

[Chick McGee]

Water chestnuts.

[Tom Griswold]

I love the crunch. I love the mouth feel of a water.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, jicama.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Oh, no, you can taste jic.

[Pat Godwin]

No, you can, but it's. It's mild, I think.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Have you had tofu?

[Christy Lee]

Is definitely.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Chick McGee]

But. No, but tofu tastes. Whatever you're cooking it with, it'll take on the taste of that.

[Christy Lee]

That's fair enough, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Because I'm trying to think of what. Because water. Does that count? No water. Well, I'm looking for some kind of analogy. Something like. Yeah, Thursday is the.

[Chick McGee]

Spoken like a true gore Tofu.

[Tom Griswold]

It doesn't work. You got it. I'm trying to think of.

[Pat Godwin]

I see what you're saying, because Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

Was trying to make the point that Thursdays don't have a thing. Like the way Fridays. Oh, my God, Fridays are great. Everything has a, you know, Wednesday, Monday.

[Chick McGee]

Is a negative feeling, but it's still a feeling.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. Tuesdays, of course. A two for Tuesday or Taco Tuesday.

[Pat Godwin]

Why are we trying to validate chicks? Barely their point.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm so sad. First of all, you don't understand. This is probably the most important topic we've ever discussed.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, I, I understand what you're saying, and I, I said it as almost an afterthought, but somehow here we are two hours later, still talking about how Thursday has no feel.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Chick McGee]

I see.

[Pat Godwin]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Because he seems happy. So I don't know what to do because the.

[Tom Griswold]

The opportunity now exists for Pat to.

[Christy Lee]

Write a song for.

[Tom Griswold]

For example, to create something that.

[Christy Lee]

A hit. You could create a hit.

[Chick McGee]

It's like if you give a dog a pair of old shoes and they start chewing on their shoes and they're very happy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But then somehow they get a pair of your newer shoes and don't. You can't tell them no. Don't don't chew on that. You taught them how to. The same thing with Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, this is a non issue. The analogy.

[Chick McGee]

This is a non issue and you're chewing on it.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I think it's. The opportunity is out there for someone.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, there's an opportunity for me to take a pile of crap and make a pot out of it, but I don't think we should.

[Reno Collier]

I find it to be a wonderful idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there are out there.

[Reno Collier]

So you're talking about a poop ball.

[Tom Griswold]

Like that scene in the movie Ghost. You're gonna sit there with a giant soft feces and create a cup.

[Chick McGee]

This pot of chili is going to taste real good in my crap bowl.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just saying the opportunity is out there.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, some. Not every opportunity should be taken.

[Christy Lee]

Right, I'm going to take this one to talk more about crap. More than 44,000 children in the UK were admitted to hospital with constipation last year.

[Pat Godwin]

What happened?

[Tom Griswold]

Hospital.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. According to NHS figures. That highlights the potentially serious health consequences of the condition is this here in America. Data said UK data for England.

[Chick McGee]

I dream of moving. I forgot about the nhs.

[Pat Godwin]

I was trying to wade through the bitchery that seated this.

[Christy Lee]

That's exactly right.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Because you, Tom, don't you feel like when mom and dad were fighting. This is really awkward.

[Josh Arnold]

They have a thing going today.

[Chick McGee]

I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I like the name of that. There's a. A section of the home known as the Bitchery.

[Chick McGee]

She's up the.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he's. He's over in the rectory. I think he's gay.

[Christy Lee]

Data for England and Wales reveals a 60% rise in hospital diagnosis of constipation in primary school children in the past decade, with increases almost seen in preschool and secondary age groups.

[Tom Griswold]

Even with those. Even with those. Those. What are those peas called that you like? The mushy.

[Chick McGee]

Mushy peas. Mushy peas and sticky toffee pudding.

[Christy Lee]

Peas have a lot of fiber? I wouldn't think so.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah, they do.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't think there's much fiber.

[Chick McGee]

Pack with fiber.

[Pat Godwin]

I think they're more of a paste.

[Chick McGee]

Are you telling me paste doesn't have a fiber? Never mind. You guys just don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Are mushy peas the Thursdays? They really are.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you can eat Thursday night mushy peas at my tavern. Yeah. At my pub.

[Tom Griswold]

There's another topic. What would be the worst? All you can eat. It's all you can eat. Prunes.

[Chick McGee]

You can eat Water chestnuts.

[Tom Griswold]

Water chestnuts. Every time I have them. I go, why don't I have these in my salad all the time?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, they are great.

[Christy Lee]

They're crunchy.

[Tom Griswold]

They're nothing you don't like.

[Chick McGee]

No bland. Bleed them.

[Pat Godwin]

Wonderful mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

Something important. I want you to forget about all.

[Chick McGee]

The problems in the world, all right?

[Tom Griswold]

Chicken salad, celery, raisins, nuts. Yes or no?

[Chick McGee]

I'm in the. I feel like I'm on the minority in the room. But I like my chicken salad loaded, baby. Put everything in it.

[Tom Griswold]

Crunchy. Yes. Me too.

[Chick McGee]

Grapes, the whole thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Not too watery?

[Chick McGee]

No, no. God, no. What do you think?

[Pat Godwin]

Celery and maybe some onion.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Be a little. Little bit of.

[Pat Godwin]

I want crunch. Yeah. I put jicama in that.

[Tom Griswold]

What's jica? I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

What's hikama?

[Pat Godwin]

Your mama. It's a real high in fiber's.

[Tom Griswold]

Mom. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You should want to hick.

[Tom Griswold]

I've seen your mama.

[Chick McGee]

Your big head.

[Reno Collier]

My mom's listening right now. I love you, hick Mama.

[Tom Griswold]

So sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

She's listening right now.

[Chick McGee]

So sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Mrs.

[Chick McGee]

Mom's alive.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're the one.

[Reno Collier]

And killing it.

[Pat Godwin]

My mom's alive. She is? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Wait.

[Tom Griswold]

Hang on a second. This. We have three living moms in this.

[Josh Arnold]

My mom's still living, barely clinging to life.

[Christy Lee]

Pat.

[Pat Godwin]

Pat's mom's body is still alive.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. I told you the story the other day. My mom had a beautiful dark auburn head of hair right up until the day I killed her. Do you remember this?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

More mayonnaise.

[Tom Griswold]

Here we go. That's. I'm. That's so nice. And let's see who's mom. Yeah. We have three people in this room who have living moms. There we go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So no moms, man. No moms. Okay. So sorry.

[Christy Lee]

We're gonna take a break.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you sure?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up.

[Josh Arnold]

Are you gonna be nice next time?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

The bitchery. I like the Victory.

[Christy Lee]

I'll leave the Victory and come down to Niceville.

[Chick McGee]

Honey, I'm. I'm leaving the bitery.

[Tom Griswold]

And we have it now so that the garage goes right into the bitery. That way you can get out of the car and already be pissed. You were mad that whole time. I do too.

[Pat Godwin]

I got a bidet.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you do?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so nice.

[Pat Godwin]

Nice move, man.

[Reno Collier]

The only problem was I didn't. It's not hooked up to the hot water. Oh, so first thing in the morning. That'll get you going, you know. And it shoots straight. It doesn't go come up. It shoots out of the back.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

Which kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this an aftermarket bidet?

[Reno Collier]

It's on Amazon. Got it as a kid.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Reno Collier]

You add it to the toilet? Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You installed it?

[Reno Collier]

My stepson did.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it a Tennessee bidet?

[Reno Collier]

It's a Tennessee Bidet. Yeah. That's what they have a guy who comes out with a spray bottle. I have a little guy that lives in the closet and he comes in. Y'all want some of this?

[Chick McGee]

It's a hiccup a day.

[Pat Godwin]

All right, open your eyes. Ass.

[Chick McGee]

The worst. There it comes.

[Reno Collier]

I told my wife I'd like to.

[Tom Griswold]

Go to the Bitery with Chris.

[Josh Arnold]

Ace has a heck of a day.

[Reno Collier]

The best thing is, Josh, if you sit on it backwards and face the wall, it does a totally different thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you so much. We'll be leaving. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios, and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

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

[Tom Griswold]

They sell rocket ships.

[Chick McGee]

Can't help himself. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk, Reno.

[Tom Griswold]

You ever say to yourself, God, am I glad I work alone sometimes. Okay, very good.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, there's Josh Arnold.

[Pat Godwin]

Hello there.

[Chick McGee]

I remember when I was a kid and the Beatles broke up and I thought, wow, how could those four guys who made such wonderful music break up? I don't understand that. They're just hanging out all the time together. I get it now. There's a sign. Chick. Hello, Tom. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio.

[Tom Griswold]

We certainly are. Coming up, we're going to talk with Kevin Cronin, songwriter, singer, and I've got a interesting question I want to ask him. He, of course, is famous.

[Chick McGee]

Well, everyone is excited about this. Did you hear Tom? Tom has an interesting question.

[Pat Godwin]

I would hope so.

[Chick McGee]

I bet it's not about Bruce hall or are you going to do that?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not. You can formulate. You can. You can formulate your own questions. Everyone's allowed. But right now, the lady with the striped arms on her shirt is Christy Lee. Hey.

[Christy Lee]

Kilauea volcano is shooting lava into the air once again in Hawaii. It's the 10th episode of Eruptive Activity since December 23rd.

[Pat Godwin]

Take it all, Hawaii.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And in Italy, tourists are flocking to view Mount Etna's eruption. And they're getting in the way of rescue workers.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, glad I met you.

[Christy Lee]

Salvo Cortina.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that was their commercial.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Head of Sicily's regional civil protection agency told CNN there is a constant influx of thousands of people wildly parking and hiking up the edge of narrow roads, blocking the circulation of rescue vehicles. Stay away in Italy from the erupting volcano.

[Pat Godwin]

Ah, funny you have to tell people that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you would think.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, I. You know, the Instagram.

[Pat Godwin]

I bet, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Social media. Look, behind me is boiling lava.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you been to Pompei, by the way? No, no, where they, you know, that whole story where the. Everyone's just sort of frozen in that moment.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Go to the exhibit, the Pompeii exhibit.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, are you guys are talking about Italy?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Here, look at this.

[Josh Arnold]

It's me, Luigi.

[Tom Griswold]

Accusatory Luigi, how are you?

[Chick McGee]

Good, I'm good.

[Tom Griswold]

Where's your girlfriend? She's doing her math on.

[Josh Arnold]

She taking a nap.

[Chick McGee]

Gina, statutory.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Gina, statutory algebra.

[Josh Arnold]

If I am here, there's a story about Sicily and an issue. I must sing.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

I express myself through my instrument and when I'm done with that, I pick up the guitar. I'm talking about my penis.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you very much, Luigi.

[Josh Arnold]

There we go. On top of Mount Etna all are covered with ash. A tourists are flocking. It's a pain in the ass casual Reno. They block the highway. Rescue teams put to the test. I tell. Tell you right now, some of them gonna end up in a concreta vest. You know, I'd like to mount Edna, Sophia and Lori. And of course my own girlfriend. Everybody sing.

[Chick McGee]

I think I sang Catchator instead of statutory.

[Pat Godwin]

Gina Cator is her fat sister.

[Chick McGee]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever been to Pompeii, Reno?

[Reno Collier]

I haven't.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I'm sorry, I've been. Do you know my modicum of.

[Reno Collier]

Do you know. I don't know if I can say it. Do you know why fat Italian men grow mustaches?

[Pat Godwin]

Why do fat Italian men grow must.

[Reno Collier]

Station so they look like their mothers. All right, thank you. Good to see everybody.

[Tom Griswold]

Fisher center tonight, you guys, it's tomorrow night.

[Pat Godwin]

There are like 40 super volcanoes around the world or something like that. And. And if one of them goes off, it is an extinction level event.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Pat Godwin]

And we are 28,000 years overdue.

[Chick McGee]

And really one of the most active is in Yellowstone national park that is just waiting to blast blanket the western two thirds of the United states in about 3ft ash.

[Christy Lee]

Aren't you guys full of happiness?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm just saying, have you seen artificial intelligence that recreated the last morning in Pompeii? And it's a guy getting up and it looks like, oh yeah, that's Pompeii. And he's washing his hand in the stone bowl and he's going down to the market. And in the background you see. Well, that looks a little smoky.

[Tom Griswold]

And then boom.

[Chick McGee]

And then kaboom. Yeah, it's fast.

[Tom Griswold]

And the bodies are frozen in position. Yeah, if it happened today, you'd, you know, have some guy hitting a vape on another guy cell phone. Yeah. Most of the bodies would be somehow connected to their phones, I think, which is super Volcano. Oh, real quick note. Yeah, we, we put up a, a pop up store and we've got this real really cool new. I'm not wearing one right now, but I think one of our guys, a.

[Christy Lee]

Lot of people around here are Jack, Jason. Jason.

[Tom Griswold]

The. We have a new hoodie up that's really cool with our. With a great little monogram on it. Also the special charity shirt. We've whipped up a bunch of these. We're going to be selling them tomorrow when we do our special show from Iowa and it's a benefit for the Stead Family Hospital. So this is really cool and we're giving the money away. So if you want to be part of this special shirt for the Stead family Hospital, it's gonna be available in person tomorrow in our Iowa broadcast. And also we do have it in our pop up store for a few more days. So you, you can get one sent to you. It'll take a few days, but we'll get that done for you if you'd like, which is kind of cool. In the meantime, we have a couple of other things we have to get to, including an interview with Kevin Cronin. But right now we go back to the SILAC insurance news desk with Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Researchers say an abundance of animals are prowling around in Florida sewers. According to a study published in the journal Urban Naturalists. Abundance of alligators and nearly three dozen other species Chick use stormwater sewer systems in Gainesville to safely traverse the urban environment. Researchers believe similar species use stormwater sewers in urban areas throughout the state. The study leader, Allen Ivory told the New York Times. It's like something out of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[Chick McGee]

Turtles.

[Pat Godwin]

No, it isn't.

[Christy Lee]

39 cameras placed in 33 sewers captured 3, 800 animal sightings.

[Chick McGee]

I think the first clue is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, not alligators.

[Christy Lee]

Images. Raccoons, tree frogs, armadillos, bats, and as many as other 12 species of.

[Pat Godwin]

I kind of assumed this didn't you guys?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, kinda, I guess.

[Chick McGee]

I don't. I don't know why I don't think of Florida having alligators in there. I think of New York as having Florida. Florida or alligators in the sewers. I don't know why I don't think of Florida.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of an urban legend.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Could this be a good Pixar movie? Don't you think?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I don't know what the plot's going to be, but Kevin Hart better do a couple of the voices. That's all I know.

[Pat Godwin]

Federal law.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

They made that movie Flushed Away, the cartoon about. Yeah. Were they rats that lived in the sewers?

[Tom Griswold]

It was funny.

[Chick McGee]

Very good.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

It's really funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

And it's about animals living in the sewers and.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah, they have ratatouille had some of that in it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah. They go down there, don't they?

[Tom Griswold]

Would you. Wouldn't you prefer sewer alligators to, say sidewalk alligators?

[Pat Godwin]

I would, yeah. Please keep. Continue to take the sewers. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Rather than down there, than when you're trying to walk Fluffy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the gator jumps out of the bushes.

[Pat Godwin]

And I wouldn't be down there anyway because of the chuds.

[Christy Lee]

So what are chuds?

[Pat Godwin]

Cannibalistic humanoid, underground.

[Chick McGee]

Are they related to the.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a cryptoid chud.

[Pat Godwin]

This is even. There's even more proof of chuds than there are of Bigfoot.

[Josh Arnold]

And what's a CHUD again?

[Pat Godwin]

Cannibalistic humanoid, underground dweller.

[Christy Lee]

A lot going on there.

[Tom Griswold]

And there's the Choads.

[Pat Godwin]

You can recognize them.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you'll know a chode when you see one.

[Tom Griswold]

You know.

[Chick McGee]

CHUD is a movie.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, that's what it's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's from the 80s.

[Pat Godwin]

John Daniel Stern and John Heard and. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

And in New England, there's the Chads. Right.

[Pat Godwin]

In Florida, there were hangers.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the BOBA Top show. There's Christy Lee, Josh Arnold, Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby's here. I'm Chick McGee. Where you're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio. And here's Tom with our special guest in studio.

[Tom Griswold]

In studio we have comedian Reno Collier. And we're going to be hooking up momentarily with with a singer songwriter Kevin Cronin, decades with reo. He's going on a special tour this summer. Summer. We'll find out about where they're going to be and what they're going to be doing and who's going to be playing, etc, etc in a matter of moments. I think that we may be hooking up the satellite right now. This involves some soldering, of course.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry, I had to run out and get the Phillips.

[Christy Lee]

We had to go out there and turn the, remember the old satellite dishes? You have to physically go out there and turn them.

[Tom Griswold]

I got my heath kit. We got the wiring down first.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Reno Collier]

Have you ever heard Cartman sing Come Sail Away way.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Reno Collier]

That is one of the funny.

[Pat Godwin]

It does go on.

[Reno Collier]

It does. And he just keeps going and he. And he won't let it go.

[Tom Griswold]

That's Sticks. It's pretty ballsy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that is sticks.

[Reno Collier]

I'll see you guys later.

[Tom Griswold]

No, he's. He's on tour with Sticks. That's coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, sweet.

[Reno Collier]

That's what I meant.

[Tom Griswold]

It is ballsy.

[Pat Godwin]

When he goes, lads, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Come sell. Come sail away with me, lads. Yes. You don't hear that very often. You don't look at your buddies. Gay lads, you want to go, come on, lads. Me and the lads.

[Christy Lee]

Let's go drink a pint.

[Tom Griswold]

Went bowling the last night being a.

[Christy Lee]

Beer while we wait. Officials in Florida say an overturned semi spilled £44,000 of beer on i75.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now, how is that a way to tell us how much beer that was?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, that's an odd measurement for beer.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Florida highway patrol in Tampa said the tractor trailer driver was attempting to exit. Exit to a rest area when he failed to negotiate a curve.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

The truck overturned, spilling a large volume of beer along the roads.

[Tom Griswold]

You've seen the pictures? Not of it. There's a fraternity having a candlelight vigil.

[Christy Lee]

Photos taken at the scene, showcases upon cases of bush beer and Budweiser.

[Pat Godwin]

My favorite.

[Chick McGee]

And I think we.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this. We got Mr. Cronin right now. There we go. I can see him.

[Kevin Cronin]

Mr. Cronin.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Kevin Cronin]

That's how I prefer to be addressed. Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

We are joined by Kevin Cronin at his house, it looks like, with some pretty fancy gold and platinum records there behind you.

[Kevin Cronin]

Well, you know what? I'm actually up. I've got a little loft here, and I grabbed. I wanted to feel. This is where I write. This is where I do my vocal sessions. It's my creative space here. So I just grabbed. Over the years, we've been so fortunate to have amassed quite a collection of this. Of this stuff and. But I picked the ones that meant the most to me and brought them up here. I got. I got my original sheet music of I want to hold your hand back there. Got my letter from Stephen Stills over here. So it's. It just. Yeah, just kind of a. Kind of a inspiring place for me.

[Tom Griswold]

And. Wasn't your dream to want to at least sing with Stephen Stills at some.

[Kevin Cronin]

Point, dude, it was. You know, my daughter talks about manifestation. You know, how if you think something and imagine it as happening, that it will happen. And. But for me, with, you know, when that first Crosby Stills And Nash record came out, man, I ran to my girlfriend, I bought it, ran to my girlfriend's house and put on Sweet Judy Blue Eyes and listened to it 12 times in a row. And that's where the journey began. It's a long, It's a pretty cool story. I write about it in my book, which I will finish one of these days. But yeah, Stephen and I ended up. I mean, we're friends to this day. I did a gig with him actually with the Jim Ursay collection. I know you're probably familiar with Jim. And he does this cool thing where he brings his memorabilia all around the country. And he's got this amazing band, you know, Kenny Arnoff, Mike Wanchik, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Mike Mills from R.E.M. this great 12 piece band. And he brings, you know, three or four singers out to do to play a few of their hits with the band and, and the last one we did together, Stephen was there and I got to do a duet with him and almost cut my hair in honor of David Crosby. And I was like, you know what? That's it. My bucket list is empty. I'm good. Anything that happens from here on in is just icing on the cake for me.

[Tom Griswold]

We're speaking with Kevin Cronin, veteran of the band reo. You're going on with a new outfit kind of this summer. It's Sticks in the Kevin Cronin Band Brotherhood of Rock tour. Give me the details on what's happening. I know it's going to be starting up in late May and you're going all over the place. Who else is on the tour now with you?

[Kevin Cronin]

Well, this the band that is with me. It's a weird thing. Anyone that saw REO Speedwagon anytime since November of 23 knows that it's Dave Amato and Brian Hitt who've been with me for 35 years. Derek Hilland who when Neil Doughty retired, Derek took over on keyboards. He played with Whitesnake and years with Rick Springfield. And then when Bruce went down with serious back issues in November 23, we were so lucky because it was a week before our Vegas residency and we were lucky that Elton John had just retired and his bass player Matt Bissonnet was a friend. He came in and subbed for Bruce for those gigs and you know, there was just a chemistry that happened with the five of us. And so we've been been together ever since. But sadly at the as of December 31st of 24, I kind of got outvoted 2 to 1 that I could not continue touring with the name Mario Speedwagon. And honestly, it's been really difficult. You know, it was devastating and it still kind of is, is, but I'm devastated, but not defeated. And so that same band playing the same songs, just with a new name, it's. If you liked Ario Speedwagon last year, you will like the Kevin Cronin Band and, and, and also check it out. So we're gonna, we decided that we would perform the entire High Infidelity album which we had been doing in Vegas, but we've never done it on a large scale tour and, and our buddies and sticks are going to be performing the Grand Illusion album in its entirety, plus their heads, bunch of our hits. And you know, Tommy Shaw and I have had each other's backs for many, many years and, and I'm really grateful to those guys for having faith in me in the Kevin Cronin Band. You know, with a tour that's booked as Styx, REO Speedwagon, that's, that's a no brainer. You know, that's just, but, but it's. Even though it's this, as I said, same song, same band, it's, you know, without that Ariel Speedwagon name, it's a little bit difficult for people. And, and so, you know, I appreciate you guys having me on because, you know, I'm just trying to reassure the REO Speedwagon fans all over the country that, that, that they can count on me to deliver them the REO Speedwagon experience, even though I can't call it REO Speedwagon anymore. So thank you guys. Of course. This means so much.

[Tom Griswold]

I have two dumb questions for you. The first one, the first one is sometimes when you were coming up, was it weird being on stage and not holding a guitar ever? Or do you always want to be at a keyboard or a guitar or can you get out there with just a mic and be comfor comfortable? Or was that awkward for you? Is it now? You know what I'm saying?

[Kevin Cronin]

Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. Mix. I'm a guitar player. I've been, you know, I started taking guitar lessons when I was 11 years old and, and I was never a lead singer. When I first started, my band was a kind of a harmony band. We were kind of kind of Buffalo Springfield Birds, Moby Grape, that kind of stuff. And when, when Gary Richrath kind of found me by kind of accidentally up in Chicago and invited me to join reo, they were, I mean they were just a powerhouse rock Band, you know, the people around the Midwest especially remember that those, those early albums and, and there were, there were a couple songs where I didn't need to play guitar. So, so I just kind, kind of, you know, took, took the mic and I'm glad there were no videos back then because it was totally awkward. I didn't know what, I didn't know what to do with my hands. It's like, what do I do to standing with my hands in my pockets too? Because the Ariel's original singer, Terry Luttrell was a great blues rock singer and he had the mic stand moves like he did this, had the mic stand spin and all this stuff. And you know, those guys were all, you know, kind of cool beetle boots and tight bell bottom jeans and cool cowboy shirts and stuff. And I'm, I'm standing there in a pair of brown corduroy pants and Hush Puppy shoes. They, they looked like rock stars. I looked like I was late for poetry class.

[Tom Griswold]

I also, I understand. And this, please don't take this the wrong way. You have been taking singing lessons recently. So you. And I've heard you say in another interview, you're actually singing better now than you were 30 years ago.

[Kevin Cronin]

You know, I am proud of the fact that I am working with a vocal coach. My son Shane was accepted to the USC pop vocal program and they, they accept four or five singers a year. And Shane, I should be so lucky to be able to sing like this kid. He's, he's amazing. But after his first semester, he's like, dad, my v, my vocal professor, Jeffrey Allen is amazing. You got to work with him, he'll change your life. And I'm like, yeah, right, I'm 69 years old. I'm going to change my life. Right? But one thing led to another and I swear to God, it occurred to me after Shane talked to me a couple of times over over a year and a half span that for his childhood and young adulthood, there was several times where I've said, you know, told him something, given him some advice, and you know, maybe he didn't quite understand what I was saying, maybe he didn't like what I was saying. But I would always say, Shane, trust, trust me, I love you. And anything I'm telling you comes out of a place of love. And it occurred to me that this was my chance to show him that same respect. And that's kind of what got me to take my first lesson. And it's been almost four years now. And you're absolutely right, it has changed My life, my son was right. You know, it changed my whole way of thinking about singing. It's hard to explain, but I really understand the instrument better now. I had so many. I had so many things wrong, you know, some things I just had the opposite of what I was supposed to be doing. So it's been a long process, but I work with Jeffrey two or three times a week and it has changed my life. I feel better than ever, and I'm singing better than ever. And, you know, my feeling is that, you know, you can't become complacent. You know, I know too many people in my, you know, peers of mine who feel like they've had success and they kind of start getting complacent, kind of just, you know, riding on their path, you know, accomplishments. And I know Tommy Shaw and I share the same type of feeling that you gotta continue to raise the bar. You gotta keep growing, you gotta keep getting better. And I know Sticks feels that way, Tommy feels that way and I feel that way. And you know, I want to be lifted up and I want to lift the people around me. And if that stops happening, then I'm.

[Pat Godwin]

That.

[Kevin Cronin]

That's not good for me. And. And so I gotta, I gotta keep moving forward.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. The, the. Do you have any, like, weird exercises you do now while you're backstage? Oh, yes. Little scales.

[Kevin Cronin]

Sounds like. It sounds like a, like a, a. A medium sized animal being strangled in, in my. If you're standing outside my dressing room before a show, there's, it's, it's. But it, but that's all part of it. There's trying to think what the, what the weirdest one is. And I probably can't even do it because it's so early in the morning here, but there's one where I go. I start really low.

[Pat Godwin]

Like.

[Kevin Cronin]

I mean, weird stuff like, you.

[Pat Godwin]

Know, call me crazy. I think you have a hit on your head that's got a real hook.

[Josh Arnold]

That's got a real hook to it.

[Tom Griswold]

Do, do you have you at, at some point with your instructor, taken reo songs, your songs, and said, okay, I'm going to sing this one for you. Give me some hints on how to make it work a little better and breathe right, et cetera, et cetera?

[Kevin Cronin]

Absolutely. We've, you know, you know, we have a, you know, we start every session with scales and just to warm up, stretch the vocal cords, get the diaphragm working. And then we get right into, into my songs and, and we, you know, we've. Over the past four Years, we've. We've. We've torn them all apart. And, you know, there's certain. It's a weird thing, there are certain consonants that. That kind of close down the area of your throat where vocal tone is enhanced. And, you know, I used to be infamous for the way I pronounced the R consonant. You know. You know, I'd always be forever, you know, that thing. And that's like, exactly what you're not supposed to do. And I blame the late, great Danny Folk, because back when REO first started, Danny and us were the first management clients of a man who would go on to become the most powerful and, I would argue, probably the smartest man in the music business, Irving Azoff, who's a downstate Illinois boy. And I was down in Nashville recording REO T W O. And down the street, Danny Fogelberg was recording Home Free Free, his first album. And anybody listening, if you haven't heard Fogelberg, Home Free, that was his first album. It is such a great album. I mean, cover to cover, it's just amazing. But. But he used to really kind of overdo the R's. And I would kind of sneak into his sessions and. Because I just love that kind of music so much. They had that beautiful vocal harmony. He was. He was basically the Midwest answer to Jackson Brown and James Taylor, people like that. And. And so I blame Danny.

[Tom Griswold]

Wherever. Okay, we're speaking with Kevin Cronin. We're gonna say goodbye. Kevin is gonna be on tour this summer all over the place, doing a lot of the Sheds with the great band Styx. And you can find all the information if you head over to what you sticks. Website will have it. You'll have it. Is it now? Is the REO website gonna have information about this tour as well? Well, no. Do they go to your website, then?

[Kevin Cronin]

Yeah, they go to. Go to Kevin Cronin dot com. There's a Kevin Cronin Facebook. There's all kinds of stuff like that. And if I could just real quickly, we have. The first ticketed show for the Kevin Cronin Band is actually Saturday night in Welsh, Minnesota, at Treasure Island Resort, which is just a little south of Minneapolis. And it's our. You know, it's kind of our. Our. Our launch of the new project. And so it's. If we're very excited, we'll be. We'll be playing the whole High Infidelity album, every track in sequence, plus, you know, all the REO hits, you know, Time for Me to fly Roll with the changes can't fight this Feeling, you know, of course, the. The High Infidelity songs, Keep On Loving you, Take it on the Run, Etc, Riding the Storm. It's like I say, it's. It's the same songs, same band, new name.

[Tom Griswold]

And Give me the where and when in that one. It's not on my little sheet here.

[Kevin Cronin]

That is this coming Saturday.

[Pat Godwin]

All right.

[Kevin Cronin]

In a Treasure island resort in Welsh, Minnesota, which is about. I think it's about a half hour south of Minneapolis. So it's basically the Minneapolis area. And it's gonna be. It's gonna be awesome, man. We are. We're chomping at the bit, you know. You know, like I say, Dave and Brian have been with me for 35 years. And these guys, you know, I mean, Brian hit is like the ageless wonder of this band. And you know these guys. Brian sits at his practice pad and plays for a couple hours every night. You know Derek Hilland who's on keyboards in the practice room. I hear him just playing scales, working on his solos and his parts. Matt Bissonnette is just a beast. Great singer, amazing bass player. And of course, Dave Amato, also with me for 35 years. He's an amazing guitar player. The best guy to be in a band with ever. Got the. The whole crew stuck with me. So it really feels. I really feel comfortable. I feel at home and you know, it's a shame that. That things kind of got messy, you know, for. At the end of REO Speedwagon here. It was never my intention for REO Speedwagon to end. I always wanted to keep it going. I assumed that I would be able to keep it going. But, you know, life has its way of throwing knuckleballs at you and you gotta learn how to hit them. And so I'm just inviting anyone that wants that REO Speedwagon experience of high energy, positive energy and just a good time. Come out and see the Kevin Cronin and come out and see us this summer with sticks. And I'm shamelessly promoting here, but I believe in this so strongly.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great. Can't wait to see it once again. Treasure island this weekend. Do you have all the words memorized, Kevin?

[Kevin Cronin]

Well, that's. No, you know what? Actually, actually there are a lot of people, a lot of my peers that are. Have taken a teleprompter on tour and I refuse to do that. That I refuse to use a teleprompter. I refuse to use any pre recorded tracks if what, whatever, whatever I sing. That's what you're going to hear and you know, and I, I would rather, I'd rather, you know, am I going to hit every single note perfectly? No, of course not. I'm, I'm a human being. But I, I would rather like when I watched the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary, you know, Paul Simon, Paul McCartney. These guys came out there. Did they sound the same as they did did 30 years ago? No, but I would rather hear them the way they are now and, and have it be real, man. And you know, rock and roll is meant to be. It's meant to be real. It's meant to be, to be natural. It's meant to be. You know, I, I can't get into the whole, you know, sing into a pre recorded track thing. I just, I will never do that. I will, I will sing, I'll sing live until I can no longer do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you can do it acapella. You just, you just proved it. Kevin, we gotta run. This is great news and we will put a link to your website and people can remember all the REO stuff and see it live and in person with sticks this summer. It's great stuff. Thanks again, Kevin. Yeah, we'll see you, we'll see you in person. We'll, we'll take you on in some basketball again.

[Kevin Cronin]

Yeah, yeah. I'm just gonna say hi to Ace and like I say, I still have a bone to pick with him from, from an old basketball game, but I'll get over it.

[Tom Griswold]

I think you can take them now. I'm just saying. Okay. Thank you very much, Kevin. Right now we have to turn back over there to Kristy Lee.

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. About time for our number one goal here on the Bob and Tom shows to educate.

[Pat Godwin]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

We look back today in history.

[Tom Griswold]

That's true. A couple of quick points here.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

We were just talking to Kevin Cronin of REO Speedwagon. He's on tour, same band as last year, but they can't call it that. Some technical legal thing. But no, Reno, you had a suggestion for reo?

[Reno Collier]

I was just thinking, you know, they can't use the word. They can't use REO Speedwagon anymore. So if they hooked me onto their tour, they could call it Reno Speedwagon.

[Pat Godwin]

Ah, not bad.

[Reno Collier]

You see what I mean? Flows on a T shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that could be.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Chick's right. If you do an Reno Speedwagon T shirt. He did mention Mr. Azone off Irving. Aoff. He's is the smartest guy in music.

[Chick McGee]

Is he?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You'd be. You'd be in jail actually.

[Reno Collier]

Yeah, well, he could sue me. I don't have anything.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no. That's why you'll be in jail.

[Josh Arnold]

He's the Eagles manager. He has all the money.

[Chick McGee]

What is it? You can't. Can't get money from a stone. No. But we can put the stone in jail.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. I'm going to remind you, we got our pop up store out [e-mail] including our special charity T shirt that we're selling tomorrow. Tomorrow in person in Iowa. Hope you have Iowa one. It's to benefit the Stead Family Hospital. Now it is time for our history lesson. I have no idea what's going on.

[Chick McGee]

It's time for our history lesson. He has no idea what's going on. What is it?

[Tom Griswold]

The. Oh, here we go. 20th, 20th of February on this date in history. This is important. On this date in history, Thomas Edison said, you know, yesterday I invented the photograph. And here's my photo. This recording. First words I spoke in the original.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Mary had a type.

[Chick McGee]

And everywhere that Mary went, I would.

[Tom Griswold]

Get a beat of that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Famous for Schwartz.

[Chick McGee]

He was way ahead of everyone else.

[Tom Griswold]

As Far as a slang, let's see today. Oh, this is a good one. 1959, 16 year old Jimi Hendrix was fired from his first band for quote, playing too wild.

[Chick McGee]

You will never amount to anything.

[Tom Griswold]

1959. Wow. Jimi Hendrix, of course, would later be in the army for about a year. Yeah. And then.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, him and Elvis. Same time. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we have.

[Chick McGee]

Now presenting wrong history. Hi, everybody.

[Tom Griswold]

That would have been pretty cool. Yeah, might have helped. 1962, John Glenn the first American to orbit the earth.

[Pat Godwin]

Allegedly.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you know that sputnik thing? I'm watching a really good documentary about nuclear power. And there we go. And they really caught us with our pants down on this. It really did. That was a surprise to most people. Yeah. Eisenhower was beside himself.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Glenn was up there, super brave.

[Chick McGee]

Not with sputnik though.

[Tom Griswold]

He was way low. Well, no, sputnik was an unmanned satellite.

[Chick McGee]

It was a pot.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Remember echo?

[Chick McGee]

I don't remember echo. I remember ham the chimp.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember you could sit in the beach with binoculars at a certain time and see the thing fly by.

[Chick McGee]

Was that ours?

[Christy Lee]

You can see that now.

[Tom Griswold]

I know, but this was like 1950s or whatever. Very cool. In any event, that was an important thing on this date. Also, birthdays.

[Pat Godwin]

Should have left.

[Tom Griswold]

Birthdays on this date. On this date in 1969, Josh's dad saw his future and said, please. Vasectomy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, he did eventually get one.

[Chick McGee]

He did.

[Tom Griswold]

Time now for the ace Cosby quick joke of the day. All right, ace, go ahead. Here we go. Here's the thing.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing like enthusiasm.

[Tom Griswold]

Here he is with his joke of the day.

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, Ace, what do you get when.

[Chick McGee]

You cross a rhino and a dolphin? What do I get when I cross a rhino and a dolphin? I don't know. What do I get?

[Ace Cosby]
