The BOB & TOM Show – February 26, 2026

Overview

This episode of The BOB & TOM Show is a classic blend of sharp-witted comedy, light-hearted banter, pop culture commentary, and listener interaction. The core crew, featuring Tom Griswold, Josh Arnold, Christy Lee, Pat Godwin, Jeff Oskay, Ace Cosby, and guests like comedian Tim Cavanaugh and Al Jackson, covers an expansive range of topics—from deciphering modern texting slang and viral acronyms, to birdwatching's effect on the brain, etiquette for public restroom “events,” trends in kitchen appliance technology, and iconic pop culture retirements (looking at you, Mr. Clean). Noteworthy recurring themes include the generational language gap, musical nostalgia, and how even trivial gripes (like the direction car emojis face) can become comedy gold.

Tone and Style

The tone is irreverent, uproariously funny, and gleefully digressive. The hosts lovingly skewer themselves, each other, the news, and pop culture, but warmth and camaraderie permeate the group. The episode is peppered with puns, callbacks, montages, and running gags about aging, technology, bathroom mishaps, and the absurdity of modern life.

Summary For New Listeners

If you missed this episode, expect a rollicking freeform mix of stand-up riffing, topical comedy, behind-the-scenes radio chaos, and moments of genuine joy—ranging from music trivia to slang explainer segments to oddly academic deep dives (emoji car directions, anyone?). The soul of The BOB & TOM Show is on display: no topic is too small (or too big) to be ridiculed, analyzed, or turned into a song.

---

Further Listening Recommendations

• Listen for the full “Camel Toe” song and Tim Cavanaugh’s Pope bit.
• If you enjoy the generational language discussions, don’t miss Tom’s quiz segment early in the episode (~[04:01 – 13:02]).
• Seek out the mailbag and listener stories throughout for authentic audience engagement and some of the best off-the-cuff humor.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, is it to your. My kids always say KK the middle finger.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I got a couple lists of these things. I mean, the most famous one I remember, the first one was lol.

[Tom Griswold]

I just burst out laughing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, what's the. What's the one you like? The tldr. Too long, didn't read. Yeah. And the shorter the text I get, the more I use that. I love it. It'll just be like, hey, what's up? Too long, didn't read.

[Tom Griswold]

Does this come in an audio book? Do people have to know that?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I actually do spell out too long, didn't read. I use all the words because I'm talking to people who probably don't know TLDR like me.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know none of these.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you're not supposed to. They're not meant for you.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Yeah. I like. The kids have their own little code.

[Christy Lee]

It's like they're. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This. This is like when people.

[Christy Lee]

I have to admit, though, sometimes Sophie will text me stuff and I'll have to go, what was that? And I have to look it up.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you know what F A F O is?

[Tom Griswold]

I know.

[Josh Arnold]

I've seen that.

[Christy Lee]

I have to.

[Tom Griswold]

I have no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

The last part is find out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. F around and find out. That's a biggie. Boy, I have seen that. Whenever I get them from nieces and nephews or whatever, I just go. And I don't know what it is. I go, I'm old. What does this Mean, Yeah. Even with. I've had to do it with emojis, too. Oh, for sure. Where? It's one of the more complicated ones. I don't. Is that a good face or a bad face?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're too small.

[Christy Lee]

Some of those emoji, you don't know. Know what they're portraying.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyway, here's. Let me. These are. These are supposed to be ones you. This says you should know. Okay. And let's see. I looked at these, and I knew exactly none of them. Omw.

[Josh Arnold]

On my way.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that one's a big one.

[Tom Griswold]

Apparently, this says. This is so common, Apple has integrated it into its autocorrect features. If you type OMW into an iPhone, it will automatically update it to on my way.

[Christy Lee]

It will. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Ngl. That's the one we did before. Not gonna lie.

[Josh Arnold]

Not gonna lie.

[Tom Griswold]

Hmu.

Very good. You've used that one or just guess?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I've seen it. I've seen it.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Wym. See this one? This is gonna bother you, Josh. It's not even proper grammar.

[Josh Arnold]

What do you mean? Yeah, what you mean? What you mean?

[Tom Griswold]

What you mean? Well, how about a little bit of English?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's attack.

[Tom Griswold]

It's what you mean. What do you mean?

[Josh Arnold]

None of it's English.

[Tom Griswold]

So. So next time I get one of these, I can always respond with Wym, meaning I don't understand, you know, that someone has been killed in a car crash because they were trying to figure out what one of these meant, and they were staring at their phone, trying to. Then, boom, they run into a steamroller. Okay, here's one that would have been used a lot on this show. Stg,

[Christy Lee]

Stop talking.

[Tom Griswold]

Your hint is Donnie Baker.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, stg.

[Josh Arnold]

Swear to God.

[Tom Griswold]

Swear to God. Did you. Have you ever seen that one?

Pissed me off. That gets used a lot. And of course, this is a good one. Stfu.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, sure.

Yeah. Okay. Oh, then there's a variation on that.

[Christy Lee]

There is.

[Tom Griswold]

This must be more urban. Sybau. Shut your ass up.

[Josh Arnold]

I like that one.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that one is a little more street, but if the person you're sending it to doesn't know what it is, it doesn't matter.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean? Saibow. Okay, I. So stupid. Is there one that means. Is there one that means. I don't understand what the hell you're talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

I think kids are pretty good at deciphering who to send.

[Christy Lee]

Tad bc.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. What? Yeah, yeah. Tad cbl. Taking a dump. Call back later.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

No, that isn't a common one. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Texting is. Has made it. Yeah, you can. Communication on toilets has to have increased because of texting.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, but do you never admit it, though, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Texting.

[Christy Lee]

Do you ever text to somebody and say, I'm on the toilet right now?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Never answer, but pretend you're not taking a crap.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, there was a time, but now I don't even. I don't. I really don't. You look at my phone in the bathroom because I was spending too much time in there reading articles and.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, how about this one? This is my last one. Smh.

[Josh Arnold]

Shaking my head. Yeah, that's a huge one.

[Tom Griswold]

It is. Again, none of them. I guess people know that if I receive these, I just block them permanently. You like a good emoji? Is there one. Is there one for. Grow up.

[Christy Lee]

You use emojis ever, right?

[Tom Griswold]

I do. I do like the little cartoon emojis, but I've got some complaints about them.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

You know the ones where they have the cars?

[Josh Arnold]

Little.

[Tom Griswold]

Little cars or little taxis or.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. They only have a car.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they're always driving to. They're always driving to the west, Right?

[Christy Lee]

What's wrong with that?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. If you look at them, they're looking.

[Christy Lee]

They go to the left.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I want them to go to the right. I mean, they're always pointing east because I'll do like one like airplane, mountain, bus, lodge, skis. See? But the car's going the wrong way. You know what I'm saying?

[Al Jackson]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The cars are always pointing. If you look at the thing, they're always pointing to the left.

[Christy Lee]

OCD thing, if I've ever heard it.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's not. It's just improper. I'm gonna fix it. Can we come out with our own packet of emojis?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure we can.

[Tom Griswold]

We could draw a bunch of cool ones. That'd be fun. Coming up. Speaking of butts and. And defecation, fascinating interview with the guy that climbed that building famously, a couple of weeks ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And what was in Taipei? I think it was. Yeah, yeah. He, in an interview, talks about what one does.

[Josh Arnold]

When I saw that interview. It's great.

[Tom Griswold]

When. Yeah, it's pretty rough. Also, we have a Dunkin Dunkin Donut coffee update. That's very important. And Christy, for you.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, sir?

[Tom Griswold]

A bird watching update.

[Christy Lee]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

Very important.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I had a bluebird last night. Yesterday afternoon. I was so excited. My first.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it. Was it pretty tasty?

[Christy Lee]

I had to eat it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, well, your voice was on the feeder. You tool.

[Josh Arnold]

You feed them so they fatten up and you.

[Christy Lee]

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's pileated.

[Christy Lee]

Actually. Both are correct.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the woody. That's the woody woodpecker.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I have three of them. I have a male and two females. Those are every day. I love them.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, we have a world record and more delights on the way, including your mail and another letter from Hawaii. Really got a bunch of Hawaiians paying attention to the show. Thank you very much. Right now, it's a time to say hello to our car girl. Look, it's Christy Lee, the driver of the Hyundai in the parking lot right now. Hyundai's got a couple cool things going on, including the Hyundai Palisade hybrid with some cool new stuff, including, what do you call it, Captain's chairs for the back seats there. So that way you can access the wayback. So you can get three in the back and then two and then a driver and one passenger. How cool is that? They call it no cleats in the seats. They don't have to climb over the back seat to get to the wayback. That's just part of the cool stuff in the Hyundai Palisade, not to mention a wide array of great electronics. And of course, that being a hybrid, EPA estimated 619 miles of range. Tell me more, Christian.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's like 35 miles to the gallon. The climate in the. The climate control in the cockpit is amazing. You get also those wonderful drive modes that we've talked about. At the click of a button, you can go from sport to snow to eco to smart.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I want to make it clear, when they say climate control, that doesn't make it snow in the car.

[Christy Lee]

No. Just to clarify, if it's snowing outside your cl.

[Tom Griswold]

And wouldn't that be funny if you got in a car for the first time in climate control? Well, what this means, you press rain and it just starts soaking the car.

[Christy Lee]

And you know what I did the other day? I have a. You have an app that you can start your car and do the, you know, remote start and everything. I went out to the car after work and couldn't get in the car. And I looked down and the keys in the cup holder in the car. I had locked the key inside the car, but because I had the app. I was able to unlock my car and get in.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show. Thank you so much for being here with us. There's Christy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin's there. Hey, Josh. There's Jeff Oskay. Hey, man. Ace Cosby. How are you, pal? I'm Josh Arnold. We're all live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. A little bit discombobulated today, but I'm.

[Christy Lee]

What happened? Another dog issue?

[Tom Griswold]

It'll happen.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently.

[Christy Lee]

No, apparently at your house, different dog.

[Tom Griswold]

They were groomed yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Same S. Literally.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, no, no. Same D. I don't want to go into the details.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but they stress about the groomer. Is that part of it?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know that he must have eaten something. But it was. There was a lot of. It's a long. I'm not going to gross people out. But that was a 45 minute ordeal because it was. It was rough.

[Josh Arnold]

It didn't get hit with the Roomba though, right?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no, that was yesterday's. Yesterday's big news. That was a great story about some guy hacked a bunch of those automatic vacuums. He was able to. He was able to see there's a camera on them and he could see

[Josh Arnold]

around people's houses listening to people.

[Tom Griswold]

And there's a microphone. So it wasn't a room, but it was a different brand.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I don't remember.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I got it here, but that's just creepy. I had a Roomba. I don't use it much.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I got rid of mine. I didn't use it either.

[Tom Griswold]

It was funny watching the dogs follow it around. They got a big kick out.

[Christy Lee]

Called the DJI Romo vacuum. Yeah. He could control other vacuums connected to servers. He was able to steer their devices, view home floor plans, access live camera feeds, microphones, and see approximate location.

[Tom Griswold]

And then in the wake of that, I was. I did a little bit of digging. Roomba now has a more advanced version that will scout out. If it sees, for example, a dog issue up ahead, it will apparently go around it. Correct the. That's the Roomba number two, I believe it's called. Yeah. So in any event, yeah, I'm a little bit discombobulated, but I'm trying to get organized now because I got here an hour late.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, you got us to help you, lift you up.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, good. Yes, I. I would suggest perhaps we get to our letters. Does that sound like a good idea?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, we got letters. And right here in Bob and Tom City.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that our letters are brought to you by our good friends at Sleep number. I love my Sleep number bed. When I come back from vacations, it's always, ah, I get to sleep again. Yeah. And you know who else likes my Sleep number bed?

[Christy Lee]

Your dog.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, both of them.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they enjoy that. Nothing like waking up in the middle of the night feeling hot breath in your face, thinking, oh, yeah, it must be time for. Oh, I love it when both of

[Christy Lee]

my dogs jump on my side of the bed and you hear it go. Because it's setting. The setting. Because I think it's me.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. My ex had a Sleep Number bed. Apparently my sleep number was 86.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa, whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

Kicked me right out.

[Tom Griswold]

Little restaurant joke. Sleep number save on personalized comfort during sleep numbers. President's Day sale. The best deals continue. The President's Day thing is still happening at sleep number. I don't know how betting and presidents got hooked up.

[Christy Lee]

I don't either.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe it's the whole Lincoln bedroom thing. Of course. Abraham Lincoln. His sleep number.

[Josh Arnold]

Anyone? Oh, come on, come on. Four score and seven.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Dear Bob and Tom. They don't have numbers.

[Josh Arnold]

Go to hell. Oh, So I have four score. You can do 80. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You could do four score.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you think the. Do you think how many people. If you are walking around the mall and said, how much is four score and seven?

[Christy Lee]

Hell, I don't know what four score and seven is.

[Tom Griswold]

Score is 20.

[Christy Lee]

And now I know it's a really 87.

[Tom Griswold]

It's an elegant way to. I mean any. If he had gotten up there and said, well, 87 years ago today. No, it's perfect. Four score and seven.

[Christy Lee]

How uses score.

[Josh Arnold]

That's. I used to when I was in my twenties.

[Christy Lee]

What's a ten then?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. That joke just flew by. Not even Oscar acknowledged. When he was in his 20s. He used score.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Is there something.

[Josh Arnold]

And then the girl would go, you're not scoring with me. 86 from the bed. We got some vaudeville going on.

[Christy Lee]

What is the origin of score?

[Josh Arnold]

No idea.

[Christy Lee]

So there's not a number. Like there's not a word for 10. Probably not a mark or.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys remember score bars, the candy bar Score.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It's because they had 20 calories.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

That is a lie.

[Christy Lee]

Oh,

[Josh Arnold]

they were around for like 20 weeks. Those things were garbage. Wasn't there a coffee?

[Christy Lee]

Wasn't sk.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. Was there a deodorant called score?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I know there was a book called Scoring by Dan. Was Dan Greenberg good writer and. Yeah. And it was. It was sort of a sexist male point of view about scoring, if you will forgive me, with women.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

He was big buddies with Hugh Hefner. If you want to.

[Josh Arnold]

Was it a how to book a kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

He had his and his. How he had done it and he was pretty funny guy. I don't know if he's still around. He may well be. But that reminds me, speaking of scoring, I don't know if you guys saw the news last night. There was a rather odd thing in these. In the so called Epstein file business, which has become the longest story in history. Bill Gates was mentioned in the Epstein files. There's a picture of him with some woman whose face is blacked out. Bill Gates coughed up some information that he in fact had scored, if you will, to use the improper term, with a couple of Russian ladies. And there seem. I'm. I'm not sure what the Epstein connection

[Josh Arnold]

was, but I think he's. Who hooked him up.

[Tom Griswold]

He.

[Josh Arnold]

He.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't. He apologized for his bad judgment, so. This thing never stops. Apparently Clinton and Hillary, Mrs. Clinton are testifying today.

[Christy Lee]

They're both going to be testifying. Hillary today, Bill tomorrow. But they're going to be private closed door sessions.

[Tom Griswold]

And neither they not, they have not been accused of sexual indiscretions. However, the thing with Bill Gates was kind of interesting.

[Christy Lee]

And Harvard's president stepped down yesterday too. Did you see that?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So that one dude, you know. Now, Pat, you have a couple of tributes, I understand. I have one, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Bill Gates did not take my advice.

[Tom Griswold]

Excuse me, are you plugged in?

[Josh Arnold]

I am indeed.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'm not getting it either, but bring it up a little bit maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

There we go.

[Josh Arnold]

There you go. Don't send an email. Never leave a paper trail. Check your clothes for long blonde hairs. Don't be like Bill Gates. Come clean about Russian dates. Now Melinda gets more than a share.

[Tom Griswold]

Clear your history.

[Josh Arnold]

Mystery, control, alt, delete. Use the hotel's computer on the slide. Whenever you get asked, just stand there aghast. And deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny

[Tom Griswold]

ever.

[Josh Arnold]

Pictures incriminating? The two of you fornicating? Just tell your wife it's photoshopped. Photoshopped. Honey, if someone saw you, banger, blame it on a doppelganger. That wasn't me There in the park. That wasn't me. If you get caught red handed kissing someone else, just say it was mouth to mouth or she would die. If you're at the hospital and your mistress shows up, deny, deny, deny. Everybody now. Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny. If you want to be a cheater, go out of state to meet her. Don't make a tryst a Facebook friend. Don't film your lovemaking or text or picture taking. No voicemails, think before you send. Don't go to sporting events, have a jumbo screen. If she confronts you, blame it on AI. Take a long hot shower, bring home flowers and deny, deny, deny. Oh, everybody now. Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. According to USA Today, Bill Gates, quote, took responsibility for his actions over ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a town hall meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation. So. And of course, they've got a photograph of Bill Cates talking to Prince Andrew, of course, looking like two old getting fat white guys. Comparing notes on this isn't surprising.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, a guy who's a nerd all his life all of a sudden gets a lot of money, I would think. Oh, yeah, Russian whores.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, we were talking about the term scoring, and there was a score cologne made by Revlon.

[Josh Arnold]

And that's funny, it's a little on the nose, isn't it?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

With this.

[Christy Lee]

Remember that cologne?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I thought there might have been like a hair cream or a deodorant, but I'm not sure. But there was a candy bar.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I don't remember if it was like chocolate covered toffee or it was something that once you tried it, you went, oh, I see why we never.

[Christy Lee]

And it was spelled S K O R, not. Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, that's right.

[Christy Lee]

Remember that?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, maybe they. Maybe it was something I'd like now, as a kid, it was like, no, thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Is that because it was supposed to be like Swedish or something? Okay.

[Christy Lee]

I kind of liked it, I have to admit.

[Tom Griswold]

It looks. I'm looking at a picture. It looks like kind of a flattened Kit Kat bar.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it was definitely very. It was very flat.

[Christy Lee]

I like toffee, though. Do you like toffee now?

[Josh Arnold]

Probably. I haven't had it in a long time.

[Tom Griswold]

It says a thinner snappier toffee. Yeah. Do you eat. Is a Heath bar that's toffeeish, like hardened toffee.

[Al Jackson]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. That's what score was, too. It was hard like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I love you.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you find the term scoring offensive?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Are you keeping score? Do you go, oh, I hit a home run last night and add it to your collection? I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I'm not. I just. I don't use that term. Did you ever hear that, Pat?

[Josh Arnold]

No, we didn't use that term. There was a famous club in your strip club. Oh, yeah, that was famous. We were subtler about it. We were more, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, were you?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I only heard it in movies and tv. I never heard a buddy of mine go, man, I scored last night.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's because it's just so offensive.

[Christy Lee]

What'd you say, Pat?

[Josh Arnold]

I did her.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no. Pat said I married her.

[Josh Arnold]

I never considered it offensive. I always considered it kind of lame. Yeah, absolutely. Of course it's offensive though when you think about it.

[Christy Lee]

What, that you scored?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Score one for me. But a woman can score too.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I don't just aren't allowed to talk about.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think the term is out there anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it seems pretty silly.

[Tom Griswold]

Pretty data, pretty 60s, 70s maybe. Coming up, we have your letters. We never got to any. I'm sorry. And we have a couple of requests. Patty G. Another song coming out of you, I'm sure.

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin's in the music room. Hey, Josh. There's Jeff Oskay. That's right. Ace Cosby over there. I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom, who has admittedly Felt disheveled this morning. I don't think it shows at all, my friend.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, okay. Well, it's all good.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I take it back. It just shows, okay?

[Tom Griswold]

I had the gloves, the mop, the. Never mind.

[Josh Arnold]

Pet messes.

[Tom Griswold]

It never fails when. When dogs get groomed, it either rains so they get muddy or they get incredibly sick. Did I mention that they're white dogs?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I know. No, we. You didn't even have to.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

By the way, when you came in the parking lot this morning, you were speeding. I think you're gonna run me down.

[Tom Griswold]

I missed 90.

[Josh Arnold]

You were going 90?

[Tom Griswold]

I just had my brakes checked. They're awesome.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they better be.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a big parking lot.

[Josh Arnold]

I was watching, right? Am I right? Were you really, like, testing your brakes?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I was running late. I had to get in here to get some stuff done.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought somebody was, you know, chasing him. Yeah, it was the cops again.

[Christy Lee]

Well, the cops were here when I got here, so I was a little worried.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, maybe. Someone reported a car going through several red lights. Oh, wait a minute. It's time to get to our letters once again, brought to you by our friends. Sleep number. Check out the sleep number bed. They still got their President's Day sale up and running. Sleepnumber.com for some details. Or stop by your favorite sleep number store. I'm a huge fan. Who's got a letter?

[Josh Arnold]

We talked about yoga pants yesterday and the pluses and minuses of them. Well, I didn't realize this, and maybe you guys have heard this. When drinking beer at the local tavern, says Dick. That's his real name, not his pronoun, he says, when a girl comes in with yoga pants, we will often raise our mugs and say, to Chip Wilson. Followed by all the other men raising their mugs and saying, to Chip Wilson. So one guy will say it, and then everybody else will say it. It's a thank you to the tribute. It's a tribute to the man that invented yoga pants.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that really his name?

[Josh Arnold]

I have not looked it up, but I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt that indeed, a man named Chip Wilson invented yoga pants. That's great. Yeah, so they'll just.

[Christy Lee]

He's the founder of Lululemon.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

So there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

No one's the wiser.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, thank you, Chip.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. So one guy To Chip Wilson.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we're big fans. We were discussing it because we had a letter about severe camel toe. Severe camel toe. Which the. Was that from a woman who found it disturbing?

[Josh Arnold]

No, her husband.

[Christy Lee]

Her husband.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, because all of her. His friends were making jokes about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Calling it a moose knuckle, you know, and don't they.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't they make a type of underwear that has a fake camel. Like a plastic camel toe so you can accentuate it?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we had a news story that was out of. That was out of one of the Asian countries. Fake nipples, fake camel toes.

[Christy Lee]

And then you can also do the opposite. You can buy a camel toe concealer. Like a pad.

[Josh Arnold]

That seems to be the better of the options.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

The other ones. Is it like a Reebok pump where you pump it up? Depending on how frisky you're supposed to put these on. Majora.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we should probably play our tribute here in a minute. To camel toe, featuring the Bob and Tom Band and Orchestra. Now we have more letters.

[Josh Arnold]

Truly one of the classes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry. Did it not go across? We have. We were just discussing. Sorry. The various things like lol. I had that list of all these dumb Internet acronyms, none of which I. HMU Hit me up W. I M. What you mean? This is all text talk, apparently. I agree with. I agree with this nice letter from Mark. He said idc. I don't care. Mark. I couldn't agree more.

[Josh Arnold]

IDC is one of them.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's true.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And this is from James. He writes my favorite nmp. Not my problem. Very good. Very good. I certainly would agree with you. Who else has got a letter over there?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yesterday we were talking birds and. Talking birds and stuff. This is from Kyle King. I'm not going to give his full email address, but his. The beginning of. It's so funny. I have to share his beginning of his email. Is King a link? Oh, nice. That sounds great. Good morning. You were talking about birds. A friend of mine had an African grey that was good at imitating words and noises. They would smoke a lot of weed, be hanging out watching TV in the other room, and they would hear the sounds of a bubbling bong. Rip. The bird could do it. Followed by coughing. Oh, that's funny.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's great.

[Josh Arnold]

That is awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Would it be funnier if you could train the bird to sound like a knock and go, Please open up. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The first time I ever smoked weed was with a bong. Oh. I'd always say with a bird. Oh, I wish there'd been a bird there. And I'd always heard. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, your first time you don't feel it. I felt it. When you're ripping Off a water bong. It was. Oh, my gosh. Was it. Was it a big one? It wasn't. No. It wasn't comically tall.

[Christy Lee]

It was a pass around kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. It seemed manageable. Is that true? First time you don't feel it? I always heard that. I didn't. Sometimes you won't feel. You won't really feel it the first time you do. That's just what everybody in my.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a lot of really bad pot logic.

[Josh Arnold]

The guy I bought the joint off of probably just sold me.

[Christy Lee]

Like, oregano.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Cardamom. Like rolling. You're exactly right. There's a chance they were just saying that because they were totally ripping us off.

[Tom Griswold]

In today's world, if you live in a place where it's legal, you can get stuff that you can barely take a puff. It'll knock you on your butt. Now, we had. I forget why we were talking about this yesterday. Of course. But I want to play a little bit of this theme music for you, if possible. This is. Oh, here you go. This is Roger and his Eagles. Anybody remember this?

[Josh Arnold]

We cannot remember things.

[Tom Griswold]

Things.

[Josh Arnold]

We weren't alive.

[Tom Griswold]

You get the idea. One of the worst cartoon theme songs of all time. And I. I would say this, if in the top 20 songs of all time from television shows, several of them are going to be cartoons. I don't think. I don't think it's arguable.

[Josh Arnold]

Whatever that was.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That would not be there.

[Josh Arnold]

That was Roger Ram Jet.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. We were talking about Pat Godwin's sleep difficulties. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And Pat has to have a CPAP machine.

[Josh Arnold]

I do indeed.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you wear the. I referred to it as a Steve Canyon mask or a Roger Ramjet mask.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Then Christy said, how about something more contemporary?

[Christy Lee]

Goose or Maverick from Top Gun?

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be cool. Yeah. The fighter pilots have to wear the.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wear the masks and. But that's what it kind of looks like when you go to bed.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I think they do make cool ones now, actually, for the cpap. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't have one, but they make, what, cool masks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Cool masks. That's fun ones.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, they do make them like.

[Josh Arnold]

Like ones from sci fi. They. They kind of decorate. I sold, like, a Bane one. Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I said.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Got this letter from Ed. He goes, sorry to bother you at work. I grew up in the West Coast. Roger Ramjet was a cartoon I watched every afternoon after school.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. But there was only one station back then.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's all you.

[Tom Griswold]

I'LL never forget that he was able to do what he did when he took a pill. That quote gave him the strength of 20 atom bombs for a period of 20 seconds. Then he writes I had a lonely childhood. I still remember the theme song. Help me Ed. I appreciate your being a brother. And ram jetness. Yeah, that. You're right though. That was the thing. There weren't any cartoon was better than soap operas or whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

You know how you didn't care for a lot of the text speak.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

The acronyms and stuff. It was upsetting you. That's how the world feels about Roger Ramsey.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So you mean. So your. Your criticism would be idc, we speak for all mankind. Is that one I want to see

[Josh Arnold]

what he looks like.

[Tom Griswold]

Is we speak for all mankind. A was that like. That'd be a good one.

[Christy Lee]

He doesn't fit the description with the song. That's for sure. That song is so lame. And he's kind of like a.

[Josh Arnold]

He's got a crazy church, he's got red hair.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

But there were some great old classic cartoons. I. I liked Clutch Cargo. Sort of the bad animation, the cool theme. He had his own jet.

[Christy Lee]

That's the 50s.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the 50s. Yeah. But they were. They still broadcast them. They on television. We were talking about camel toe in the letter we got. I think we need to hear something from the Bob and Tom Band and Orchestra.

[Josh Arnold]

You're a beautiful girl. And your pants are on so tight that when you stand just right, I can see it all. When you're on the beach and your bikini's soaking wet. I see a fuzzy silhouette as I look down below. I see your camel toe, your biscuits, your cleavage. I see your cooter cleavage, your monkey, you're muffin, you ain't hiding nothing. You're Gucci. You're flapper. You're showing off your snapper.

[Christy Lee]

Your camel toe, it looks alright so

[Josh Arnold]

baby let it show. Just like a big taco. I see your camel taco.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Mercy, Madame Walla lay bearded clown. I could really go.

[Josh Arnold]

Or a sideways sloppy joe.

[Tom Griswold]

Or a tuna casserole.

[Josh Arnold]

Baby, don't you know I never thought I'd see so much of your anatomy. Your genes are so tight, I'm learning Dynasty.

[Tom Griswold]

The Bob and Tom Orchestra.

[Christy Lee]

Not gonna lie, that's where I went yesterday. Taco Bell. You know what though? It's very impossible to eat a taco. Driving, it's really hard to do.

[Josh Arnold]

You gotta go with the soft.

[Christy Lee]

I went with crunchy but I had to pull over.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you feel about eating lobster bisque while driving?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I've never done that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah, it's awfully good. But yeah, not a good idea. But we're gonn. We've got some cool stuff coming up here in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hoosier history baby.

[Tom Griswold]

They're hanging out.

[Josh Arnold]

Dom just said you're going to feces and he didn't mean to. Clear as day.

[Tom Griswold]

You're going to see you're gonna I I, I'm running Super late today.

[Josh Arnold]

It's okay, man. We got you. This is the Bob and Tom show. Obviously, live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts, people say to YouTube, there's Christy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin over there. There's Jeff Oscar 3 on Wordle.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I haven't done it yet.

[Josh Arnold]

For those people keeping score, I will give you $50 to shout what the word is to Tom, who hasn't done Wordle yet.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you dare.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you want $50 or. I mean, you'll need it if you do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just donate plasma. It's easier. There's Ace Cosby. Oh, do you do wordle? Ace?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Smh.

[Josh Arnold]

Shaking your head.

[Tom Griswold]

Shaking my head, yes, yes. That's the one I learned today. I will never use any of these.

[Josh Arnold]

No, but they're kind of not for us, really. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're not for anybody.

[Josh Arnold]

No, they.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course they are. It's lazy insider bs.

[Christy Lee]

Are they starting to show up in crossword puzzles?

[Tom Griswold]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, that's what I thought. I started doing crossword puzzles because they made me do that story about how it makes your brain better, and I need all the help I can get.

[Tom Griswold]

So we got a story coming up I found just for you. It's about how bird watching helps your brain.

[Christy Lee]

I saw a new species yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Christy and I have known that for years. We. We've been. We were way ahead of the curve.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get to that.

[Christy Lee]

How many. How many species do you think I've notified. I've known of. Identified in my backyard so far?

[Josh Arnold]

12. I'm gonna say 40 plus.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I wish. No, not that many.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm over at, like, 200.

[Tom Griswold]

How many of you showed?

[Christy Lee]

200.

[Josh Arnold]

Really? I live next to a power plant.

[Christy Lee]

So far, I've identified 20 different varieties.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a pellet gun?

[Josh Arnold]

No, sorry.

[Al Jackson]

God.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show, we've been getting, for some reason, all these letters from Hawaii lately, which is great. Here's one from Alaska. Wasilla, Alaska.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

This is from Yannick.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, Yannick.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you were talking about wives and old methods of contraception. Sorry. Oh, yeah. We had this really odd list of things over the years that were used. One of them was alligator or. No, crocodile dung in Egypt. And Casanova famously hollowed out a lem. Cut a lemon in half.

[Christy Lee]

That makes sense, though, because that's. That's exactly what a diaphragm does, but it's a barrier to keep.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, a little awkward.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, you'd have to size.

[Tom Griswold]

Why are you cutting up with the body? Cut it. We're going to have iced tea. Nope. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that why you call her Sour Puss?

[Tom Griswold]

He goes, my ex was always told by her father, if you keep an aspirin between your knees, you will never get pregnant.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, well, sure. Yeah. That's the classic.

[Tom Griswold]

I said, that's not true. She got an aspirin, put it between her knees and said, see? I flipped her over and proved it wrong.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, geez. Yeah. Her knees can't be together for that. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you. Thank you, Janna. We certainly appreciate your listening. North in Alaska,

[Josh Arnold]

way up north.

[Tom Griswold]

We have an obscure request. I hope we can get to more

[Josh Arnold]

obscure than Johnny Horton.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, this is for all my Catholic friends out there. This is from Dan in Coatesville. Good morning, all of you. All stars is what he says. It's a great tip for the Lenten season. And I was aware of this, but I had forgotten. During Lent, Culver's serves their walleye, which is apparently fabulous.

[Josh Arnold]

I really enjoy it. Yeah, that's good there.

[Christy Lee]

So if you're looking for fish tomorrow, because it's Friday, I'd be curious if

[Tom Griswold]

a place like McDonald's, do they see an uptick in their filet o fish during Lent on Fridays?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we could probably even find out what the percentage is.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a huge filet o fish fan, by the way.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you're. You're.

[Tom Griswold]

You're a year round, year rounder, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

When was the last time you had a filet o fish?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I was driving about a month ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice man.

[Tom Griswold]

And I stopped. There's this particular drive I do con occasion and I know where the. There's a Starbucks I'll go to and there's a McDonald's I'll go to. And I always get the same thing. Large fries, filet o fish and an iced tea.

[Josh Arnold]

When I'm driving, if I'm gonna eat in the car, like I'd say I'm on a road trip. Yeah, I will get it tartar saucelessly. What? Without tartar sauce? What's that like? That way I can. It doesn't drift on because typically I'm on my way if the only reason I'd be on my way to a show or something and that the last thing I need to give an audience is a food stain on my shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Especially a creamy one.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, exactly. That could be your thing. I Don't want to be stained guy. But you're right, it probably would be good.

[Tom Griswold]

We have of late been playing with certain sounds. Do you have the. It started with Ms. Hooker and she recorded herself snoring and then there was a thing of me yawning. This is Hooker snoring. That's me yawning. And that's Josh's brother. Okay. Okay, that's gonna. Someone has requested this boy. Listen carefully. This goes back a ways and I'll just play it. You can figure out what it.

[Josh Arnold]

Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

That is my yawn. On top of the immigrants. My other favorite though is the Ozzy Osbourne one with the. With the monks.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Josh Arnold]

That one doesn't work for me. I. I think you guys wanted to hear it work and it wasn't. Doesn't work for you. No, it doesn't line up that well. I think it's perfect. No, I. Yeah, you guys really wanted it to be perfect and it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Al Jackson]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll dig that up for you in just a couple of minutes. Who else has a letter?

[Josh Arnold]

Brad is picking up his brand new bass boat tomorrow.

[Tom Griswold]

Lucky, he says.

[Josh Arnold]

Any chance I could make listener of the year if I put a bass to mouth decal on it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm saying no. And here's why. No detect, no decal. It's got to be full paint job. Yeah, yeah. Nothing that can be removed semi easily.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, we want a picture of. What is this, Brad? You say yes, we want a picture of you, Brad, next to the stern of your boat with the word bass to mouth painted on it. A nice happy smiling picture of you. And then we will make you officially the listener of the year. We'll post your photograph. These are all great ideas. Thank you very much. Now the. You'll recall that I had agreed to pay for Josh's brother to have bass to mouth painted in the back of his boat.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

And he thought it was a great idea, but apparently he's married. And as you know, married men, they have counsel if you know, they have a full time advisor, sometimes wiser counsel. Oh, sometimes. Okay. By the way, the request for the Immigrant song with my yawn pasted on it was from Curtis. Thank you, Curtis. We certainly appreciate your listening to the show and I hope you enjoy that. Now this is the one Josh says doesn't work.

[Josh Arnold]

I may have been saying that for dramatic tensioner to have to listen closely.

[Tom Griswold]

We had the monks.

[Christy Lee]

The Tibetan monks were here and they.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the name of the sand stuff?

[Christy Lee]

Sandela. Is that what that's called.

[Tom Griswold]

They did this thing at the museum, and it was amazing. It was. They take. Was it like grains of sand and they create these mandala giant.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I knew there was a nala.

[Tom Griswold]

These giant things on the ground, they put. And it's. They're very precise.

[Josh Arnold]

And then when they're done, they wipe them away.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So beautiful.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's about the ephemeral nature of the universe. If I'd worked on that for several hours, I would say, if you touch this room, I don't care what my monk vows are, I'm tearing your head off. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I have a hard time taking apart jigsaw puzzles.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. I can't agree more, Christy. So we were talking about the monks, because was this the same band that. Or the same group of monks that did these songs?

[Christy Lee]

I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a different bunch.

[Christy Lee]

I think it might be a different bunch, but the.

[Tom Griswold]

The gist of the story.

[Christy Lee]

This was the time I met the Dalai Lama. That was the group of monks I was with when I met the Dalai Lama.

[Tom Griswold]

And the. The monks released an album of their chance, which I thought was kind of cool, but you'll see what happened. I compared it to something in contemporary music at the time. No, I should. I should explain. There's more than just chanting here.

[Christy Lee]

They have these horns.

[Tom Griswold]

These look like those Ricola horns.

[Christy Lee]

Right. I think we talk about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And so there's the. They're. They're blowing again. This is their sacred music. Sorry to disappoint here, but this is what they consider sacred music. And obviously, everyone has their own thing going on, so I'm like the Vienna Boys Choir, but here are the monks.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, these are the monks.

[Christy Lee]

Tibetan monks.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This is the Tibetan sacred temple music. Excuse me. These are actually instruments.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

These are, like, big horn things.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not one to, you know, take a cultural stance on a superiority of Western over church music. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

You can't really sing along with this, can you?

[Tom Griswold]

Not a big. Not a big argue. Not a big argument there. Anyway. Where's that one that we were.

[Christy Lee]

Now that's an actual monk voice.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, is it?

[Josh Arnold]

You going to burn.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Bob.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Get out, Ozzy. Oh, Black Sabbath. Oh, God. I think we can. I think we can segue. I think we can segue this right into Black Sabbath. Hang on a second.

[Josh Arnold]

It's still gonna rain right here in the studio.

[Christy Lee]

We need some drums.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait, It's.

[Josh Arnold]

Come on. I'm Standing by my argument. It's just something playing underneath. We still got the monks.

[Al Jackson]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

It sounds great.

[Tom Griswold]

I love this part right here. Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

You guys are just enjoying Iron man at that point.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because you can hear the guy going.

[Josh Arnold]

And it doesn't line up.

[Tom Griswold]

And it sounded like I am Iron Man.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, it does. That's actually the Iron man song.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you take the joy out this. Not when I've had a discombobulated morning.

[Josh Arnold]

It is cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Ngl. I hate you.

[Josh Arnold]

I honestly. Would you guys listen to that monk stuff just if you were. I had a cd. Yeah, it was like.

[Christy Lee]

It's not bad. I mean, it's very.

[Josh Arnold]

There were a few months there where it was like a thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's very relaxing.

[Josh Arnold]

It's cool sounding. But I. Yeah, I mean, it's sort of meditative, you know, it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's not like good is the word you're looking for.

[Josh Arnold]

They had a whole album out, didn't they? Yeah. They even covered Kenny Rogers song. They did, yeah. You got to know when to hold them. Yeah. You know why?

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Josh Arnold]

Because they're the Tibetan monks. Get it, too. Baton the gambler. Get it. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Thank you for doing that.

[Christy Lee]

That was not good.

[Josh Arnold]

Now your bit sounds fantastic. That makes my lame joke sound comedy martyr.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that a. I was just gonna ask what. It's not a frock. What is that, a poncho?

[Christy Lee]

No, it's a sweater.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it is a sweater. Is it a drug rug? What's a drug? We'll get to that in a second. There's Pat Godwin. Jeff, Oskar's going to define drug.

[Christy Lee]

I know what he's talking about. I have.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that when you lose the coke in the rug? Yeah. There's Ace Cosby. I like to think a drug rug is a toupee that some stoner put on.

[Tom Griswold]

No, this is my disguise.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm Josh Arnold. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. What's a drug rug?

[Josh Arnold]

It's one of those. Usually a Spanish looking poncho type thing where I know exactly what you pull in the middle of.

[Christy Lee]

Basically a rug like that.

[Josh Arnold]

They were wildly popular when I was. It was either like junior high or high school.

[Christy Lee]

Usually there's that.

[Tom Griswold]

What's that?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, little ball that people kick around.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I never heard it. It referred to as a drug rug, though. That's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's very Grateful Dead parking lot. Want to buy a cheese sandwich? This thing hasn't been washed in six weeks. Look.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah, that's it. I don't dislike them, though. No, they're cool. Yeah? Yeah. I never owned one.

[Tom Griswold]

But you would never wear one.

[Josh Arnold]

I have one. I'll bring it in tomorrow. I have one.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really? Really.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, please. Can you wait till Monday when Chick's back? I want to just hear the mocking in person.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you can mock on your own.

[Tom Griswold]

I want. I want the full teeth. I want the full backup. Yeah, and it'll be sarcastic. We'll be going. Hey, Pat, that looks really great, but I love it.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet I'll like it.

[Christy Lee]

This shirt because of the sleeves. I had to wear a cape to work today because I couldn't fit my sleeves into my coat.

[Josh Arnold]

So you're super. Christy.

[Tom Griswold]

Those sleeves, you could put a bowling ball in those.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, right.

[Josh Arnold]

It's cool, though.

[Christy Lee]

Thanks. I've never worn this in here, have I?

[Josh Arnold]

I think it's cool.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Never wore it again.

[Christy Lee]

All right, I've learned my lesson.

[Tom Griswold]

It looks very.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. I bet if you were to put your arm out straight.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Like towards Godwin. Yeah. Do that again. He could see your icy nipple. Pretty nipple. Tom, I was watching a. Oh, boy. Early 80s. I want to say it was 1980 movie called Gas Pump Girls. Are you guys familiar with this?

[Tom Griswold]

I have missed that one.

[Josh Arnold]

The interesting thing is they kind of do an American. Well, I say interesting.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Very.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm being very generous. They kind of do an American Graffiti thing where in American Graffiti, Wolfman Jack sort of is a sort of a de facto narrator throughout the thing. He. You hear him throughout the movie. In this case, it's Cousin Brucie, the great Cousin Brucie. They somehow talked him into doing Gas Pump Girls. And the story is there's a guy whose gas station is really failing and it's next to this new brand, shiny, cool gas station. And so his niece and all of her hot friends decide that they are going to run the gas station in very scantily clad outfits. Well, this is how nudity used to be in movies, and I don't. And like these 80s sex comedies, they're at. In the beginning of the movie, they're at their graduation ceremony, high school graduation, and the hot girls are, of course, wearing their graduation gowns. Well, one sneaky ne' er do well decides he's going to tie the bottoms of the gowns to their chairs. He's craw crawling on their hands and knees. So at one point, when the girls. When the girls stand up, their gowns come off and totally naked. Every girl decided that when you put a graduation gown on, you don't wear anything. Just the most convoluted nudity.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't give the premise too much thought.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, right, right. Man, I loved it. I was pretty funny.

[Christy Lee]

Did you laugh throughout the whole movie or was it just.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's. Honestly, it's pretty boring.

[Tom Griswold]

Did they. Did the gas station become a success?

[Josh Arnold]

Huge success. They really saved the day. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did all the. Did all the prices end in 69 instead of 99?

[Josh Arnold]

1 of the guys, the guy, the uncle who runs the gas station, was a Bowery boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Satchel, let me. Bowery Boys old series. Yeah, yeah, just like they.

[Tom Griswold]

The dead. Were they the Dead End kids or something? They were. Leo Gorcey was one of them.

[Josh Arnold]

Hunts Hall.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Hunts Hall. Yeah, he was. He was the one that. He. Hunts hall looks like the guitar player in Cheap Trick.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that helps.

[Josh Arnold]

You know who else was in it? Joe E. Ross.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I love that guy.

[Josh Arnold]

He was famous for doing that.

[Tom Griswold]

He was famous for car 54, where are you?

[Josh Arnold]

And his catchphrase was. Ooh,

[Tom Griswold]

these are great memories.

[Christy Lee]

Well, now we have to watch Gas Pump Girls.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that what it's called? Yes. Boy, it was something. Now our 1979. There it is. How did you find it? Somebody just put the poster up on the screen. You know what? I had been watching, like, silly 80s and 70s movies.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this like Porky's and.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, but I think it's pre Porky's. It was 1979.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow. So. Yeah. And that's what they wear. And it's super duper.

[Al Jackson]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Their gas was regular or super duper.

[Christy Lee]

Do you know how it's described here on the Reddit thread? Gas Pump Girls is a dated exploitation movie that suddenly becomes a musical.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yes. At one point. At one point, the main girl is sort of sitting at the gas station, a little sad, and she starts singing out of nowhere. Yes. And it's the only music number. Does it make any sense?

[Tom Griswold]

So it's like in. In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, where all of a sudden there's this great song and. And Paul Newman's riding a bicycle pretty well, even though he's just been seen it for the. Given a bicycle for the first time. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

But in this case, she is doing the thing. She's singing. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's funny.

[Christy Lee]

That's funny. All right.

[Tom Griswold]

A Dear Bob and Tom show. Another letter from Hawaii. Oh, from the Big Island. This is from Wayne. He says, my wife gave me a romantic card. On the front it says, just thinking of you and fried chicken.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

After 30 years of marriage, all we say to one another is, want some fried chicken?

[Christy Lee]

That's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

We also have a code word to escape awkward situations. So this is. This is a classic. If you're at a party and you want to get a. We say the word sassafras.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good one.

[Christy Lee]

Now, how does that come up in conversation?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's a little. That's. It's somewhat tough.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you wedge that in that?

[Christy Lee]

That would be hard. Unless they're saying it to each other quietly and then they, you know, have a sneak out or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, did you see that. That thing the other night? The president was talking sassafras, and I was wondering about the taxes on some

[Josh Arnold]

Social Security or what if they accidentally use it? Super obviously. Like, will you get me the sassafras out of here? I hate these sassafras people. What is a sassafras? Is that a spice?

[Christy Lee]

I always thought it was a tea.

[Josh Arnold]

You could make tea with it.

[Al Jackson]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's always in westerns.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right. Sarsaparilla. Oh, that's root beer. Oh, that's root beer, essentially, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, is that the one? Oh, sorry, I'm wrong. Then.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but sassafras is also that he said I'm wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Did you, sass? Appreciate that. Thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

And then succotash is like a vegetable mix. Right.

[Christy Lee]

Which is weird. Yeah. Lima beans are in it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I only know that from suffer and succotash from the cartoon.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, it's time now to check the sporting scene with Jeff Oscar sitting in for Chick McGee. What's going on over there?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, this one's for Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah.

[Josh Arnold]

Professional rock climber Alex Hanold recently scaled the Taipei 101 building, has revealed how he performs bodily functions while he's scaling a mountain or a building.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't blame this on me.

[Christy Lee]

I am blaming this on.

[Josh Arnold]

During an interview, he said that he will pull his pants down to evacuate his bells while climbing, provided there's not another climber below. Well, that's polite.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How does he know that?

[Josh Arnold]

Anyone down there? Yeah, I'm about to. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I think my understanding there's an etiquette to this if you're climbing because this guy's an unbelievable climber. He climbed that building. He's climbed all these rock walls. He's slept on.

[Josh Arnold]

He, he.

[Tom Griswold]

Sometimes they'll sleep on these things halfway up.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But if there's a protocol, if there is someone below you and you have to defecate, it's kind of like a golf thing. But instead of yelling four, you yell, they know that they got to put their helmet on.

[Josh Arnold]

He recalled there that there have been some drastic one handed hanging moments while he took a dump off the side of a cliff and you'd think your body would kind of shut down and wouldn't even. He says, when it happens, it happens. It's better than pooping your pants. I suppose so.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, for me, once I got to about 20ft, it would automatically wouldn't be shutting down, it would be opening up, man.

[Josh Arnold]

So just mud falcons aplenty. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the term, the mud falcon.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, remember, I'm the one that brought that to you. After a show one day I was talking about being afraid of heights. I believe I was up in Wisconsin. This gentleman comes up and he goes, oh, well, you would hate my job. I changed the lights at the top of the towers and I was like. And he said, at the top of the tower, sometimes it will sway 40ft in each direction while he's up there and it'll take sometimes eight hours to climb. And I was like, well, what happens when you. And he goes, oh, you just release the mud falcon. And I go, what's that? And he goes, that's what we call when we do south, the side of a tower.

[Tom Griswold]

And there is a band called the Mud Falcons. Oh, I was so disappointed because that was. That was going to be the name of one of my fake side bands, but it's already.

[Josh Arnold]

It's out there. For real?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know about the 40ft sway. Yeah, that's a lot of sway. I feel like it would be visible to. To any. Anybody looking at it.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it depends what kind of tower it is, because some of those are.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I mean, if it takes you

[Tom Griswold]

eight hours to climb and if you're on the top, some of them are on top of buildings already, so they're terrifying.

[Christy Lee]

No, thanks.

[Tom Griswold]

We have. Obviously, there's this. There's three out here. And right now. Right now, one of them, the south tower, doesn't have the top light on.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe we should try it. See who. Who can. We can relay it.

[Christy Lee]

Climb up there to change the light

[Josh Arnold]

like you do the first 15ft. I'll be waiting for you. Then I'll take it up to Tom. Tom will take it up to.

[Tom Griswold]

There's one problem.

[Josh Arnold]

Chick, who's been wanting to jump from a tower.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll be. I'll be on the bottom. I'll be on the bottom holding a little net for Chick.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then a camera. Yeah. They. They have to pay the guy to climb up there and change the bulb.

[Josh Arnold]

Wouldn't you charge $75,000 each time?

[Tom Griswold]

I can find out. Eddie will know what it costs.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, the guy told. He goes. I was like, why would you do that? And he goes, it pays really good. And then he told me how much it paid, and it wasn't really that good. I was like, oh, you can mow lawns. Good, though let's say you do one a week. Good. Good. No, he said It's a race. 50,000 a year is what? Okay, that's not enough for swaying and dropping. What if he only does it four times a year? Good point. I don't know. Still not enough. No way. I know it's scary.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out by the next break. We can find out.

[Josh Arnold]

There's a movie called Fall, which is really great, and it's about two girls who climb one of those towers. And man, oh, man, it's scary.

[Christy Lee]

Don't they do it on a dare or something?

[Josh Arnold]

They're kind of.

[Christy Lee]

I remember seeing the trailer go, probably.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When Bob and I were up in Harbor Springs. And they painted the big tower in Petoskey. And the way they would paint them, they would. They'd put on this glove like a. What's, like a washcloth material. What's that called?

[Christy Lee]

Terry cloth kind of terry cloth.

[Tom Griswold]

And they just put their, their hand in the bucket and then, you know, kind of rubbed the tower. Ah, they painted the whole thing. And then when they were done one day, there'd been kind of a breeze and the parking lot a couple hundred yards away, all the cars had that bright red paint spray. Oh, little, little blops. That was.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a problem. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I wouldn't have cared because my car was so crappy then. It would have helped. But I hit one of the. One of the rust spots. Bob's car at the time. Bob's. Bob had a blazer that you could see the road because the, the floor, there was a big hole in the floor.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love that. The old Fred Flintstone style.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. We. We finally got better, better vehicles. We'll find out what it cost to climb the tower. That's. That's an interesting interview. It's. The guy that did it is Hassan from the Daily Show. So it's a great interview. It's really interesting. It's not just about that topic, but it does, it does come up.

[Josh Arnold]

But have you seen that guy's fingers?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, the. The climbing guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my gosh. They are.

[Christy Lee]

They're nubs.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And they're like twice as wide as your normal finger. And they. The ends, I don't even think have fingernails on them.

[Christy Lee]

I bet not.

[Josh Arnold]

They are some lay old fingers.

[Tom Griswold]

And he can quite literally dangle from

[Josh Arnold]

a cliff with one and take a dump at the same time. According to. That is really something.

[Christy Lee]

He's the one that has two kids now, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got to stop.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You win. You've done it.

[Tom Griswold]

I watched.

[Josh Arnold]

We're all impressed because I had asked

[Tom Griswold]

this question on the air. What if when he was doing that building, there were two things that were bugging me? What if he reached up and there was some kind of metal flange that the construction, you know, had been an anomaly in the surface of the thing. And he sliced his hand. Oh, yeah. But also, what if he sneezed and he said it wasn't a problem. And Hasan said, hey, look, if I'm driving and I sneeze, which is I. Exactly. I completely agree. You'll be driving and you sneeze. You got to close your eyes for a couple seconds there. But he Said sneezing isn't a problem. It doesn't, doesn't bother him.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a good interview. Once again, the guy, the climbers. Alex, is it pronounced Harnold Honnold? And if you didn't see that, it's terrible, amazing and scary. And even he said, he said something funny. He said the promo they made for that was terrifying. Oh, he goes, I didn't get that scared because in the promo they have the camera falling down the side of the building as if he were plummeting to his death.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that was the problem.

[Christy Lee]

I was scared just when he was standing at the very top. That to me would have been terrifying.

[Josh Arnold]

That was the worst part for me.

[Tom Griswold]

Aren't they, aren't they saying he has some kind of a mental disorder?

[Josh Arnold]

Not a lack of fear?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he has a lack of. Yeah, they also they. And then they tested him.

[Josh Arnold]

He has, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hassan asked him, do you dream about falling? And he said, I maybe remember one dream a year. I don't really remember my dreams. He said, but it's good interview. I would highly recommend it. Now coming up in sports, we have a world record.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we do.

[Tom Griswold]

For you horse people out there. And we have a staggering news from the world of contemporary culture. A major retirement. Yeah. I can't believe they're doing this. I'm wondering if this is a setup for something. I feel like, I mean, I feel like I'm being set up.

[Christy Lee]

It seems like this happens a lot in marketing, doesn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'm skeptical. This is like the. Every band in their last tour.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And they do the, they do a tour, then another one down the road. Coming up, comedian, comedian Tim Cavanaugh. Coming up, today in history. Coming up, the etiquette of, of an away game, if you will, in the bedroom. No, no, in a smaller room. An away game in the smallest room in a stranger's house.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin's there. Hello. There's Jeff Oskay. Hey, man. Ace Cosby. Howdy. Good to see you. I am Josh Arnold and we have some of our favorite people coming up. Tim Cavanaugh, comedian, will be live in studio and Al Jackson will be on the Zoom. And there's Tom on the Zoom.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't that sound like a, like he's

[Josh Arnold]

on the go or something or.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I know it sounds like he's on some drug.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, man, it's been, you know what? He's been problematic since he's been on the zoo.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they pulled him over.

[Josh Arnold]

He's on the zoo. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's a shame.

[Josh Arnold]

And all it takes is four days of just kind of misery and then he's clean.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay, good.

[Josh Arnold]

I offered he could stay at my house for those four days. I'll help him.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, thank you very much. Now what else is happening over there? We're going to check in the spots.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, we have one of these.

[Tom Griswold]

Stupid world record.

[Josh Arnold]

An old brown mare from Virginia has been what she used to be, has been confirmed as the world's oldest living horse. The horse named Fancy was crowned the Guinness World record title holder at the age of 37 years and 329 days old. Fancy took the title held by the late, great Bascalod who died last year at the age of 38. Well, that doesn't math.

[Christy Lee]

No, that doesn't work.

[Tom Griswold]

Well. No, no. It's the oldest currently living horse.

[Josh Arnold]

My bad.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what the record is for the oldest horse ever to live.

[Josh Arnold]

That's younger. You know, I guess that I never really thought about how long a horse.

[Tom Griswold]

Always sad. People love them.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'm a big horse guy.

[Christy Lee]

I like horses.

[Tom Griswold]

It's weird to think that LeBron is going to probably have a longer NBA career than Fancy. The horse enters his 40th year, 40th year in the court.

[Al Jackson]

He's the.

[Tom Griswold]

How long he's been playing. Is that sports?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I got hockey scores. You want to hear those? The key to owning a horse is money, right? Because it's not just about buying the horse. You also need to buy essentially the people who take care of the horse.

[Christy Lee]

Or you have to spend all your time taking care of the horse.

[Tom Griswold]

Exactly.

[Al Jackson]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I know quite a few horse people. It's a full time gig.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's art.

[Josh Arnold]

It is an art.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know. And you know, that whole Thing about the horse whisperer. I. We know one. I know someone has that skill that it's. It's amazing. And there's all. They have their whole own language and all those.

[Josh Arnold]

They can break them break a wild bronc.

[Tom Griswold]

I love looking at them from a distance.

[Josh Arnold]

It's pretty easy to do being horse whisperer.

[Christy Lee]

Is it?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Really asked me to do it.

[Christy Lee]

Can you be a horse whisperer?

[Josh Arnold]

Ask me to do some horse whispering.

[Christy Lee]

Do some horse whispering, horse man.

[Josh Arnold]

He's on fire.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. That's the second one. That's the second one. Wait a second. I'm gonna call the paper. We gotta get an obituary for this.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

I've been called a horror whisperer. I don't know if you guys know that sometimes they get unruly and you will accept a check.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't take Venmo.

[Christy Lee]

I bet they do now.

[Josh Arnold]

I promise you they pray. They must.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't the IRS now going after or Zell or people who get paid by Venmo? Isn't that a thing now?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I recently went to pay someone and they.

[Al Jackson]

No,

[Josh Arnold]

do not send it to me on that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I don't know. Somebody monitoring that. I. I don't know how that works.

[Christy Lee]

I kind of have a sports story.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Scientists have figured out why sneakers squeak on a basketball court.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I always.

[Christy Lee]

You know, I bet that's kept you up at night.

[Josh Arnold]

Friction

[Christy Lee]

materials. Researchers at Harvard University really found that while the shoe maintains its grip, the floor, tiny sections of the sole change shape as they momentarily lose, then regain contact with the floor thousands of times per second.

[Josh Arnold]

Kind of. I mean, we didn't put it in such fine language, but we all kind of knew this.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. The frequency matches the pitch of the loud squeak we hear. The researcher, whose name I'm not even going to try to pronounce, explained that quote that squeaking is basically your shoe rippling or creating wrinkles that travel super fast.

[Josh Arnold]

Harvard.

[Tom Griswold]

When you get done with cancer, then go back and figure out the squeak. Okay. You got all the money in the world. You're a scientist, and this is what you're doing.

[Josh Arnold]

You all assumed it had something to do with traction and pressure and two materials meeting.

[Christy Lee]

And I have no physics degree. And I. Yeah, they repeat at a high frequency and this is why you get that squeaky noise. According to Adele,

[Tom Griswold]

this sounds like some high school kids science project.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Well, I discovered why. Okay. Obviously it's too lazy to do anything interesting. I do like the fact though, that the term sneakers has taken over. Because I always grew up, there was. No matter what they were, they were tennis shoes.

[Josh Arnold]

Same.

[Tom Griswold]

Same here and now.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We always called them tennis shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But now it's sneakers. And I have a couple friends that are sneaker heads. Oh, that's what you call them?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, boy, that's really close. I was gonna say something else. Sneaker heads. Okay, good. Good to know.

[Christy Lee]

How is that sneaker head? Is he okay?

[Tom Griswold]

Good. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Heard from him in a while.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I hear from him all the time now when I'm. These are guys that. And I'm sure, lady. They buy these exotic sneakers.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And in many cases, never take them out of the box, basically.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you can't.

[Tom Griswold]

You just.

[Christy Lee]

Why buy them, then?

[Josh Arnold]

Because they're investments. Like, some of these shoes, you can buy new for, let's say, $200, a new pair of Jordans, but if they're a limited issue and you hold on to them for a year, they could be worth $3,000. And if you buy 50 pairs at a time, that's a nice investment.

[Christy Lee]

I gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're the sneakers really isn't a good name.

[Christy Lee]

What would you call them?

[Tom Griswold]

Squeakers.

[Josh Arnold]

Didn't you read that article and I. Squeakers. I. I thought. Isn't that what the squeakers are?

[Christy Lee]

Boobs.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's what we used to call them. Maybe if they're in the shower. Oh, you get that kind of water for squeezers, not sneakers. You called boobs squeezers? Oh, yeah. I mean, in, like, fifth grade, not like, yesterday. Did you see her? Squeezers.

[Tom Griswold]

We used to call Little Caesars Little Squeezers for just that reason.

[Christy Lee]

For boobs.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it. I never heard that.

[Tom Griswold]

That.

[Josh Arnold]

That's all I'm saying from now on.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

We could do a whole show on anatomical.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Nicknames and that sort of thing. Christy, how do you refer to your various body parts? I mean, you go to the doctor's office. Do you say, you know, doctor, my squeezers are itching or something?

[Christy Lee]

Of course not. I would use breasts.

[Tom Griswold]

Use breasts. You don't say party bags.

[Christy Lee]

No. You know my boobies itch.

[Tom Griswold]

No. No. I wonder what that's from. Oh, they don't really itch.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

So you use the formal terms?

[Christy Lee]

Of course. Yes.

[Al Jackson]

You don't.

[Josh Arnold]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't walk in and say, I've got an itch down there?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

You use the V word. You say that. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. That's awkward.

[Christy Lee]

Why is that awkward? The vagina.

[Tom Griswold]

You can't say no I thought you meant vendetta.

[Christy Lee]

Is that how she uses it?

[Josh Arnold]

Some women do.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, coming up, I think. Is little Timmy Cavanaugh here?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he's here.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. We're joined by comedian Tim Cavanaugh, comedian Al Jackson. We have etiquette for visiting the smallest room in stranger's house. And Metallica. Huge Metallica news coming up. Metallica fans, stick around for this. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Want to share a letter or comment? Our email is Bob and [e-mail] hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs, get the parts and service you need fast. And that you deserve, quite frankly. From the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts, there's Christy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin's there.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Jeff Oskay across the way. What's up? Next day's Cosby.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

I am Josh and Tom. We're joined by one of our favorite people on the planet and one of the finest comedians we know who. Oh, it's Tim.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

He's right here.

[Tom Griswold]

He's joined by comedian Tim Cavanaugh. Tim, I've got to apologize in advance. I'm a little bit off my game today.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Because I got up bright and early and just as I was walking out of the house, I went sniff, sniff.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no, not that smell.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was a disaster. Faster. So it took me 45 minutes to get, I mean, I got, I, he had pooped his own pain, rubber gloves, the whole thing. But there was, well, but it was one thing after other because part of the protocol is when that happens, the first thing you do is light a candle. So I went to the kitchen and I, you know those lighter things where you have to. Which I hate. You got to pull this and hold this before it'll light.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

You have to put a dollar in there, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And it wouldn't, it wouldn't like, that's

[Tim Cavanaugh]

what we do at church.

[Tom Griswold]

So then I couldn't light a candle of an accident. I've got to sneak around anyway. But I, I'm trying to get back, back on track here. And I'm glad that you're here.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Well, I'm glad I'm here, too.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, do you remember the parting words that you had for Tim Kavanaugh the last time we spoke to him?

[Tom Griswold]

I said, have a nice life.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yes, you did. And you Know what? I've taken your advice and I'm trying to have as nice a life as I can.

[Tom Griswold]

You had a pretty serious cancer scare. You're. You're. You're cancer free now. And. Yes, so are you. What is your philosophy of life?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Having a nice life is always a nice thing for people to say to me. You know, my philosophy is enjoy today.

[Tom Griswold]

And, well, today might be rough because you're here.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we. We make it hard for people to enjoy. I realize.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

You know, you notice I don't. I don't stop by as much.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Because you know what, Tim? Don't blame you one bit.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you know what? No.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

It can get rough in here.

[Josh Arnold]

It's stressful.

[Christy Lee]

He's a boy bully.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No, he's. Yes, well, he's got a bully pulpit.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm trying to segue into a regular pulpit so I can just have the Lord on my side.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

There you go. That would be a good idea.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you imagine me as a priest? No. It'd be hard to explain. All those kids.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I have imagined you as a priest.

[Christy Lee]

His homily would last hours.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, when you imagine Tom as a priest, what kind of things do you imagine?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

A mostly missionary position.

[Tom Griswold]

He's the one. He's the one that just said that, not me.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No, no, because you would be a missionary. Probably because they wouldn't want to keep you in one church.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

No, please.

[Tom Griswold]

He'd be moved around a lot from

[Josh Arnold]

parish,

[Tom Griswold]

Arizona, the desert.

[Josh Arnold]

I think Tom would make a hell of a press secretary.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Oh, I agree with that.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, the spin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I would hire you as my press secretary for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's becoming a tougher and tougher gig. And I don't care what party you're into or which people you like. The press secretary, that is a rough gig.

[Josh Arnold]

You are just fed to the wolves every day. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm going to explain right to you now why black is white today.

[Josh Arnold]

I know they're good.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, this appears to be black, but as you can see, clearly, it's white.

[Christy Lee]

I'll take no questions right before you walked in here. I know this is probably not interesting to anyone but you and me, Tim, but they exhumed the mortal remains of St. Francis.

[Tom Griswold]

I know.

[Josh Arnold]

I saw that, too.

[Christy Lee]

800th anniversary of his death.

[Tom Griswold]

Why'd they take him out?

[Christy Lee]

They dug him up. And they're gonna put him back, I guess, in front of the altar in the basilica.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

If you're a saint, then every. Every 800 years, they dig you Up. It's part of your contract. They dig you up. They take you on tour.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You'll be able to go.

[Tom Griswold]

Are they gonna visit?

[Christy Lee]

And I think it's gonna be there when I'm there in September.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow. Gonna be an open casket.

[Christy Lee]

It's open. It's kind of. It's not a casket. It's in, like, a plexiglass box where

[Josh Arnold]

you can see, but you can actually view the body.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. You know, it didn't even occur to me that they. They had his remains somewhere.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't he the one for dogs?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, the animals.

[Tom Griswold]

Patron saint of dogs. Don't let a dog get near him. He's walking away with a femur in his mouth.

[Josh Arnold]

Look at this. Still meaty now, because he is the animal when you walk by to see his corpse. Are they playing that Sarah McLachlan song?

[Christy Lee]

No, but I guarantee they have a donation box.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. I see. Well, we'll let you know.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't mean to leave you out of that either, because you're a Catholic.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no, I have four Catholic boys in here.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you. Are you doing the. What's it called? The no Fish on No, I'm sorry, no. No Meat on Friday? Are you doing that?

[Josh Arnold]

No, he's doing the no God for the rest of his life. So, yeah, I'm one of those Catholics. So you're.

[Tom Griswold]

You're laughed.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Jeff and I are the same.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Well, now we'll get a song out of Tim Cavanaugh in just a couple minutes. We got another song coming up from Pat Godwin.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, cool.

[Tom Griswold]

A couple news stories I wanted to get to also. We're gonna get a little bit of Today in history. Are you doing birthdays today, Tim?

[Christy Lee]

I. I'm.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I've got an abbreviated birthday.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay. Because I. I've got a couple birthdays we can get to as well.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, good.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. Now, I mentioned this before. There's been. I'm skeptical of this story.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. This is a retirement in the world of contemporary culture. I'm wondering if this is a scam.

[Christy Lee]

Mr. Clean, the mascot for the famous Cleaning brand, has announced his retirement after 68 years on the job.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

And Mr. Clean was the first white guy, shaved head. There was Yul Brenner, Mr. Clean and Lex Luthor. That was it. I mean, now you see that all the time, but that was. That was it. But Mr. Clean, I mean, that's iconic. Aren't they? Isn't it isn't. I mean, I have it at Home. The product is called Mr. Clean.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Well, he. He was caught up in the Epstein file,

[Tom Griswold]

But we've been scammed like this before.

[Christy Lee]

In a post shared onto the Mr. Clean Instagram page, Mr. Clean appears to trade in his signature all white outfit for a Hawaiian shirt while holding a press conference.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

In the clip, the narrator says, after a career with zero stains on the record, he's ready for new adventures. Another post attributed to the character reads, I'm saying goodbye to the world of cleaning in pursuit of new hobbies. While the brand's plans for a successor are not clear, spokeswoman Matal Levy said there would be no changes to Mr. Clean Packaging. Do you know the first name of Mr. Clean?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Mike?

[Christy Lee]

Nope.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good guess.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Gene. So you say, Hi, Jean.

[Josh Arnold]

Steve McLean.

[Christy Lee]

Veritably. That's his first name.

[Josh Arnold]

Veritably Clean.

[Christy Lee]

Apparently that's.

[Tom Griswold]

I guess someone had the week off at the ad agency.

[Christy Lee]

He was introduced in 1958.

[Josh Arnold]

That was when Don Draper was cruising

[Christy Lee]

around California when Procter and Gamble commissioned a commercial artist, Richard Black, to create a marketing character for a new detergent based household cleaner.

[Josh Arnold]

Dick Black is funny because it makes you think of a black penis.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it makes you think of Big Dick Black from the movie Hardcore Hard. That's a. That's. I love that scene.

[Christy Lee]

George C. Scott.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, George C. Scott is. He's from Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the movie looking for his daughter. And he. He pretends to be a porno producer. So he's doing auditions looking for the guy that appeared in. And there's a famous scene with. I used to have that on my answering machine.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you know who I am? I'm Big Dick Black. It's a classic. It used to be in my. Bob and I would. We put it on our answering machine when we lived in Harbor Springs. And my mom called one day.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

It's quite graphic.

[Josh Arnold]

What would you have done if your mom had gone, I'm just leaving another message. I sure wish you would call me back,

[Tom Griswold]

but it's George. He's gone. After the guy gives this speech about his well hung to say. He goes, well, I'm sure you're very good, Mr. Black. And he goes, you're not gonna hire me because I'm black. And it's. And it's Hal. What's that guy's name? Hal. The guy that was in Private Benjamin, that actor.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, he's the drill sergeant, right? Yeah, that guy is great.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Hal something.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Getting back to Mr. Clean.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

It sounds to me like he was canceled. Or maybe they just use that. That Mr. Clean's magic eraser?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Which I think is alien technology. I love that. Those things are amazing.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I was whining about some problem at my house, and someone said, try that magic eraser. It is great, but why does it

[Christy Lee]

disintegrate in your hand while you're using it?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, don't argue with that.

[Josh Arnold]

But it's pretty sturdy still. It's.

[Al Jackson]

It's.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

It does fall apart, but it's. You get some work done before it falls apart.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't ruin this for us. Us? Okay, we're gonna have someone go into dust from the magic eraser, causes cancer. Next thing you know, we're all scrubbing away again.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, we have been fooled. Like you said before, Tom, didn't Mr. Peanut claim to have passed away or something? And then that ended up being an advertising game.

[Tom Griswold]

There's no way they're gonna get rid of Mr. Clean.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, there. There is a chance they're replacing him with Ms. Scrubby. Scrubby. Oh, is the new spokesperson. She is good. Yeah. Is she gonna have hair down there? Oh, wow. Yeah, she's bald up top, but real big bush.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that.

[Christy Lee]

That's her scouring pad.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly. She calls it her sos.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. Wow. Brillo bush. Okay, so I just. I just. I just Googled famous bald white guys, and I got in.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you come up at all?

[Tom Griswold]

No. Thank you. A total shaved head. And it's yul Brown. Winner, Mr. Clean.

[Josh Arnold]

Telly Savalas has to be up.

[Tom Griswold]

Telly Savalas. He's down there. Patrick Stewart.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Billy Corgan.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Smashing from Smashing Pumpkins. And Moby and Vin Diesel are the ones that popped up.

[Josh Arnold]

Jeff, what is it that Eminem called? Moby? You can't say. Yeah, no, don't repeat. But it made me laugh every time. A millionaire. And

[Tom Griswold]

there's no way. This has to be fake.

[Christy Lee]

They're gonna come out with something. I'm sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Unless there was something where they're like, you know, things are weird now with marketing. What could we can't. Mr. Clean is a symbol of toxic masculinity. His white outfit suggests no diversity. And we have to. You know how this stuff is.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, if you were to take the. If I asked you to take a piece of paper and write down the top 10 iconic characters like this, well, you know what?

[Josh Arnold]

I bet three or four of them are gone. You're Aunt Jemimas, Uncle Ben's Gone.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Didn't Aunt Jemima. Didn't they. It's a different photograph. Right. It's a. I don't know, contemporary looking woman.

[Christy Lee]

Uncle Ben is gone.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. And some of these are real people who they're.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Uncle Ben converted more rice than Tom would as a missionary, if that makes any sense.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't get it. Please help.

[Josh Arnold]

Is there something called converted rice?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Uncle Ben's converted rice.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what it's called, yeah. Did it used to be Jewish? What happened?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

What, did I just make that up?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. This is probably one of those cases where you have more knowledge than we do.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Uncle Ben's converted rice. It's converted from potatoes. I guess I never understood that, but

[Tom Griswold]

okay, here it is. I just did. Converted rice is another name for parboiled rice. That helps. Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

It's rice that's been partially boiled in the husk before milling. I have no idea what this means.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. That's probably what makes it instant. I remember, Tim. All right, gotcha. Okay. Ace remembers.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I'm so sorry.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, you're right. We're just.

[Tom Griswold]

The pause between the lack of laughter makes it much less funny. When we come back, a little bit of history. A new song from our guest comedian, Tim Cavanaugh. Right now, I want to talk to our car girl. She's right over there. It's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you need to check out the all new Hyundai Palisade hybrid. This car is amazing. It seats seven very comfortably. It has an amazing driver dash, if you know what I'm talking about. Like, everything is easy to find. You can touch screen. It's. The music is awesome. The stereo system is great. And the best part, it's a hybrid. So you'll get up to 35 miles per gallon. That's 619 mile range.

[Tom Griswold]

The Hyundai Palisade, beautiful vehicle. 619. Estimated range on that baby. So you can go on a nice long trip. And the motto is, no cleats in the seats because the way back seat to access that, you don't have to climb over the back seat because they have those captain's chairs. So your kids can sit in the back and they can go, I am the captain. Look at me, I am the captain. Now, of course, your kids probably haven't seen that movie and that appears to be no. No effect on anyone in the room. Tim, when you grow up, how many brothers and sisters do you have?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I have five.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Did you have a station wagon? Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

We did, we had a way, way back.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, did the way way back on your car face backwards?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yes, it's.

[Christy Lee]

Did, did you have the one that had the. On either side where you could put double. Like you looked at each other.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

And that's why I still drive that.

[Tom Griswold]

Was that the, was that the Buick? I think it was a Buick Sky.

[Josh Arnold]

My grandparents had both of those.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

What was the one that had the. It was the first car that had like the skylight and this, this.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I remember that Vista Cruiser, I

[Tom Griswold]

think it was called.

[Christy Lee]

Sounds right, but the point.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but back in the day, we had, we had the. I forget which one it was. The Country Squire, I think it was called. And it had the rear facing seat.

[Christy Lee]

No seat belts.

[Tom Griswold]

That isn't even legal anymore, is it?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

But today's cars, I've been a suburban driver for years and to get to that way back, they had to climb over the seat. And Hyundai has a better idea. No cleats in the seat. By putting those captain's chairs, you can access that seat. So much for the history of station wagons and SUVs. You're welcome.

[Christy Lee]

But check out the Hyundai Palisade. That's what we need.

[Tom Griswold]

I had a loaner car the other day. I hadn't driven a car. Car in years. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

We call those a sedan these days.

[Tom Griswold]

Sedan.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

A car car.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As opposed to way, way back in the car. An suv. And for me to get out of a car. Car, I almost had to get assistant. Assistant. I forgot how to get out of a car. Car.

[Christy Lee]

That's my favorite thing, seeing really rich guys trying to get out of like a McLaren.

[Tom Griswold]

Old rich white guys in Corvettes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They pull up and 10 minutes later, I need a walker. A walker.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm getting knee surgery. Oh. Did you play sports? No, no, I bought a car.

[Christy Lee]

None of these will be a problem with the Hyundai Palisade Hybrid. Visit HyundaiUSA.com or call them at 562-314-4603 for all the details. That's Hyundai USA.com.

[Tom Griswold]

thank you very much, Christy Lee. Coming up, a song from Little Timmy Cavanaugh. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee is at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

So happy to be here today.

[Josh Arnold]

We've just started dabbling in the news.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Pat Godwin. Hello, Josh. There's Jeff. Oscar. Yes, sir. Ace Cosby's there. Hello, I am Josh Arnold and Tom. We're joined by one of our favorite people and comedians, aren't we?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

He's having a nice life.

[Josh Arnold]

He is having a nice life.

[Tom Griswold]

We have. Comedian Tim Cavanaugh has joined us here in the studio.

[Josh Arnold]

And real quick, our Tim's appearance is sponsored by Lee's famous recipe, chicken. They're famous for a reason. Thanks, Tim.

[Tom Griswold]

They sure are. And we have to make arrangements. When we read that, we get plate full of chicken. You see, that'd be delightful.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, man.

[Tom Griswold]

I have an idea for a new. A new feature. Call it Things that actually Work.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, my God.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

For example, we were talking about the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Magic Eraser?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's like, one of the greatest products ever made. It does amazing things. I was. Another one would be for those that have babies. Ever had that stuff? Desitin.

[Christy Lee]

Desitin. Ointment.

[Josh Arnold]

That ointment, yeah, it really clears it up well.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

Actually, I know a woman we know shared a little thing. If you have razor bumps, ladies, that helps with razor bumps down there.

[Tom Griswold]

We live in a culture where there's a lot of stuff that doesn't work.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It'd be nice to have a thing that this stuff actually works.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, okay. Just.

[Tom Griswold]

Just. Just an idea. And coming up, we have things that work, but we're ruining them by making them too complicated. For example, me speaking. Or we have this story about the appliance show in Orlando and how they're. They're putting WI fi and everything, and they're just. Come on, Stop it.

[Christy Lee]

What happens when your WI fi goes out? Can't open your refrigerator?

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. We can't make. We can't make toast this morning.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

The Internet's down, but that's all coming up right now. I can tell that Mister. Mr. Kavanaugh is quietly rehearsing something. I assume you have a song.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

It's. It's a song to commemorate our new Pope. I know that Pat has written a song, and. And I don't know how much this is going to step on it, but, you know, as the resident Catholic, although we have a lot of resident Catholics here.

[Tom Griswold]

But you're a Chicago native also.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I'm a Chicago native. Grew up in the same neighborhood, more or less. I live. I grew up halfway between Michelle Obama and the Pope.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

That's impressive.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I'm like. I'm, like, right in between.

[Tom Griswold]

How old are you? Older than the Pope.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I am a little older than the Pope.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. So how weird is that? You might have beaten him up in a softball game.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

He loves baseball.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

It's all included in my song about the Pope.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's a White Sox fan.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

He's a White Sox fan. And this song is so in the weeds and so stupid.

[Josh Arnold]

It sounds like you came to the right place. Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

All right. Can I do. Here we go.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Here's a song. Here's a song filled with stuff we know about American superstar Pope Leo. He's both born in Chicago in a town called Dolton Loves the Spice Girls and Michael bolton is Illinois zip code was 60430 these are things we know about Pope Leo. He was baptized robber as a kid they called him Bobby. Baseball cards and holy cards were his hobby. The highlight of the his trading card days was trading Vic Davilio for Padre Pio. Padre Pio was the saint with the stigmata. When Bobby was 12, he got to meet Coach Dick Mono. I put that in just because. What else rhymes with stigma?

[Tom Griswold]

Not a whole lot.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

And he was a coach of the.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, you know, Dick Dab was my favorite Cleveland Indian. Thank you very much for throwing that in there. I appreciate that. Venezuelan, Mr.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

The Bulls coach in 67 couldn't deliver hell. Back then, Jordan was still just a river. For years, Bulls fans wallowed in denial. Which was the wrong river by a thousand miles. A new Pope looks like Caucasian but he's part Creole which is downright amazing Genetics can be funny, you know it's true. Even Jesus Christ looked a little like a Jew. Got that new Pope spell nodded trace of B.O. his popemobiles stripped down 97 g o. His bumper sticker says all things must pass a warning to the other cars. He don't drive fast. The car's got a racing stripe just to be ironic. He drives really slow not because he's on chronic. For over 30 years he served in Peru Got to know the Andes through and through There's Kaufman, Richter, Wooney named Just a few Raggedy Andy and Andy Dick, too. Andy McDowell would often hang with Bobby they would gently rock with Andy Kim in the lobby as many Andy's I could think of. The Pope's job is hard hurting Catholics Literally leading, leading millions.

[Josh Arnold]

Got this.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Okay, you're gonna edit this out. The Pope's job is hard hurting Catholics Literally leading millions to the kitty liturgy. He's shaking things up like get Galileo he calls the Holy Trinity the Pope Leo trio. He hates Black Sabbath except for Johnny James Deal.

[Josh Arnold]

Ronnie James Deal.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

These are things we know about Leo.

[Josh Arnold]

Leo is a Dio fan.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I got so tired by the end of that.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

I thought you're listening to Haywood Banks.

[Josh Arnold]

Put a lot of work in that. You put a lot of nice work in that. Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Well, thank you very much. Well, there is some. Some nice work, and then there's also some stupid work.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, it's fun.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

But. But that's. But thank you. That's. It's a lot about Pope Leo. Yeah, there's a lot to know.

[Tom Griswold]

When he was a young man, did they call him Bob?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

They called him.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

I think they called him Bob.

[Tom Griswold]

He was a Robert. Right?

[Tim Cavanaugh]

He's a Robert. And they called him Bobby. I know that. They used to call him Bobby.

[Tom Griswold]

Bobby. That has to be. Can you imagine if you'd known him back then?

[Christy Lee]

It'd be so weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That phone call. Hey, man, do you hear Bobby's the Pope? What?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You do know people that know him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

And his mother was a librarian at. At a local boys high school, and he would come in every so often and. And teach a class.

[Christy Lee]

Well, she's got a. She's in heaven, for sure.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I mean, she's got a be. He's got to be pretty used to having people go, shh. Can you imagine growing up with your mother a librarian?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yeah, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

And now he's got the bully pulpit. You can't shut him up now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And he most likely did some dating back then, too. That would be awkward for a woman to have that experience. Yeah. I dated him.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Way back when.

[Christy Lee]

Of course,

[Tim Cavanaugh]

he is a Virgo.

[Christy Lee]

I thought you were saying he's a virgin.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No, he's.

[Tom Griswold]

I think that comes. Doesn't that kind of come with the gig? Isn't that a. Have to be in your resume?

[Christy Lee]

I mean, after you become a priest? Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Not before.

[Christy Lee]

But not before, I think.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Right, right, right. Before you're a priest, you can sew your wild oats. How would you like to be with the Pope's son? Not that that's ever happened.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I think. I think back in the day, I think maybe.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, it did happen.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now I know that I've famously. The first confession he took, I. This is. Is a. Because he's a Chicago guy, someone said, father, forgive me, but I put ketchup on a hot dog. And he made them say 3,000 Hail Marys. You do not do that in Chicago.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

That's exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

It could have been excommunicated. Christy Lee is at the Babatom news desk. We're come back by the way with Today in History and I've got some of that too. But Christie wants to squeeze in one story. What is it?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we're going to talk about those home appliances. And she kept bringing it up. The kitchen and Bath industry show was held in Orlando recently and some of the devices on display include Sharp's new celebrity oven featuring golden heater technology which fuses microwave, convection and infrared to cook food faster. Cookies that take 15 minutes took to bake really only were ready in nine.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that. Do we need this?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're in and if you can afford this thing, you probably don't cook any anyway.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

A smart fridge from GE with a barcode scanner that makes creating grocery lists easier. That's kind of fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you kidding?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to hassle with.

[Christy Lee]

No. If it's on the outside and you're like making your list and you just scan. I need yogurt. And it.

[Josh Arnold]

The only way I like that is if it goes directly to like say a grocery store app that builds your instacart type thing for you and then your shopping's done. Otherwise, who cares?

[Christy Lee]

That's.

[Josh Arnold]

You're not going to forget.

[Tom Griswold]

You can take your phone, you get an app like Echo and just. You could just say what you want and it puts a list right on your phone.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I know that if you want a certain part a certain product, but I think Josh has it. I think that's why they do it this way. It probably does go right into your instacart if you're in the barcode.

[Josh Arnold]

But otherwise it's.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, so you got to pick everything up and scan it again like you

[Josh Arnold]

did when you bought it, like you would at the grocery store anyway. So this, this eliminates that.

[Tom Griswold]

But. But unnecessary.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. Unnecessary. But some people might want it.

[Christy Lee]

Oven doneness detectors designed to prevent burning the ovens monitor the food as it cooks for signs of browning and alert you when it's getting close.

[Josh Arnold]

For people who don't have noses or

[Christy Lee]

light in their oven.

[Tom Griswold]

No. I will give you a corollary. The. We've done a lot of great things in contemporary technology and I certainly appreciate all of our great engineers out there. There. My dryer has that sensor.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And everything is always still wet.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So. And then someone wrote a letter and they said, don't put it on auto dry. Put it on time to dry.

[Christy Lee]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

And bake it because it always turns off. Before the stuff is dry, this is going to be the same thing. Wow, this sure is cool casserole. By which I mean cold. Oh, that's because the auto sensor thought it was burning.

[Christy Lee]

No, this is for you, Tommy. A designated jets for cleaning bottles and straws in your dishwasher.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's cool. I do like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. You know how I clean my straws? What I do is I throw them in the waste basket and then. Oh, get a new one.

[Christy Lee]

And then you kill a sea turtle.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you feel if a sea turtle gets one of my straws from here? That sea turtle has walked a long way.

[Christy Lee]

A built in delicates basket for Whirlpool's top load washers. Now that would be nice.

[Josh Arnold]

What would you put in there?

[Christy Lee]

There, you already have that. I have a bag. I use a laundry. I have a delicate bag.

[Josh Arnold]

What do you put in it?

[Christy Lee]

My bras.

[Josh Arnold]

Your delicate. Oh, you know what? I was still. I'm so sorry. I was still thinking. Dishwasher.

[Christy Lee]

No, it was in the washing machine.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, wait a minute. She was giving us a good list here. Shut up, Jack.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I know, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

So what do you put. What else do you put in there?

[Christy Lee]

Slips, lingerie, anything that needs to be. What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, those are phones.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, the front dispenser.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you have any lacy panties? You have any stained lacy panties?

[Christy Lee]

No, they stained. They go away.

[Josh Arnold]

Can I buy your period panty?

[Christy Lee]

Well, you're gonna have to go back about 10 years.

[Tom Griswold]

All the better.

[Josh Arnold]

You have a time machine.

[Tom Griswold]

Time machine. Party thief.

[Josh Arnold]

That should tell you how I think of you. I don't think of you as somebody who doesn't have period.

[Tom Griswold]

Somehow that's actionable. I don't know exactly how, but it's probably embarrassed by that.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm embarrassed by that.

[Christy Lee]

A friend dispensing nugget ice maker in a new fridge from Whirlpool.

[Josh Arnold]

People sure love that, man.

[Christy Lee]

Standard cubes can be found in the bottom freezer.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow. You get your choice.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, apparently so.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that crushed ice?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Nugget or cubes?

[Christy Lee]

I said nugget.

[Tom Griswold]

What's a nugget? Ice.

[Christy Lee]

A nugget is like a little cube.

[Josh Arnold]

People love them, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Because I hate crushed. I crushed ice.

[Christy Lee]

You make enough money, buy your own ice machine that doesn't have crushed ice in it.

[Tom Griswold]

I know.

[Josh Arnold]

Are you allowed to.

[Christy Lee]

Tom, here's one for you. Whirlpool has debuted the first washing machine with UV cleaning to kill bacteria without hot water.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no. I have the hottest water on Earth. I have a sanitary set on my. You can set it on sanitary. And I think it boils the stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Dominic. In Korea, there were restaurants I would. I would go to a lot, and their cups were in these UV like, fridges doing exactly that. Christie. So you would. If you. When you wanted to drink, you would go and just grab one of those cups out of there and just hope that that UV actually worked. Because they community cups that, you know, after I was done with it, they would just kind of rinse it out, put it back in that thing, and then the next person would use it. But not like wash it with soap. No, it was cleaned with the uv.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that what those machines are in doctor's offices?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sometimes.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that what that is?

[Josh Arnold]

And Christy got us those for our phone, which I use mine all the time.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, well, thank you.

[Josh Arnold]

The phone soap.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. A cooking range from sks. SKS that includes a built in sous vide tank. Tank that only will set you back $12,000.

[Josh Arnold]

Thank goodness I'm not constantly sous videing. Can't you just boil water in a pot for free?

[Christy Lee]

And Kenmore's new dishwasher includes a bottom rack that flips out to the same height as the top rack for easier loading.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Wow, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, I've seen that.

[Christy Lee]

Have you?

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of them have that. So you can adjust the. How the top rack rack. You can make it so it's real small or you can.

[Josh Arnold]

No, they're saying the bottom rack lifts up so you don't have to bend over to. So it comes out and you load it and then you lower.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that was. That was a battle I lost. We designed our kitchen. I wanted to have the. Because I worked in a restaurant before and I washed it. We had. And the dishwashers, at least in the restaurant where I was, is up high, so you don't have to bend over. Why don't we have the dishwasher up here? You would have thought. I said, why don't we have naked pictures of my ex girlfriend of the mayor and Pat. God.

[Christy Lee]

One.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

It would say. They didn't. They just looked at me like, what? That's a great idea.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. You don't see it. Okay, well, you're starting to see ovens a little higher now, too.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, my oven's too high. I can barely get stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now again, you don't count because you're.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I. Fortunately, I have double now, so I can use the bottom one. Now. Your dogs wouldn't be able to clean the dishes. If you had that good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, if that's why he got sick.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's what we've been telling you. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

For weeks.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I've been informed. Apparently he was eating rabbit poop. Okay, coming up, we got Today in History, and we have a cool story about Metallica. Don't go anywhere. You'll want to hear this one. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Thanks for listening to the Bob and

[Josh Arnold]

Tom show, sponsored in part by Java Ha House, the official coffee and refreshments of the Bob and Tom show

[Tom Griswold]

soon.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey there. It's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. Thank you so much for joining us. There's Christy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm sorry I threw you off.

[Christy Lee]

No, I talk too much.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no. Maybe there's Pat Godwin, there's Jeff Osk. We all talk too much.

[Christy Lee]

I'm gonna do a word count one day and you're gonna be surprised how little I get to say.

[Josh Arnold]

I won't be surprised. Yeah. Now does that if. If we count off the air,

[Al Jackson]

you win.

[Josh Arnold]

There's these guys. I'm Josh Arnold. Guys, we have things to get to. All right. Please. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I learned something the other day. Did you know that you can go online and there's a word counter?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I had no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

I only old like Microsoft Word and all that stuff. Used to I would hit word count when I was in college. All the time.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Because it's a mistake for professors to give a word count. All you're going to do is get filler in those essays and a lot of dirty words.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

A lot of dirty words. Look at the word count. They have a dirty word count.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, see, if it's like when I play Scrabble, if it's a dirty word, it counts. Double word score. So that means in a word count, it would count for two.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Oh, there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

This is an interesting essay you've written. Filthy, but I but short. Okay, it's time now to check in with Tim Cavanaugh on the road. And Tim, you're famous on this show for a feature about birthdays.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

You want to take celebrity birthdays?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

You know what? Before you get too far into the music, I'm gonna start one off with a song.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, oh, okay.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Sorry. Because this is Peter Gabriel's 76th birthday and I wrote a song I thought I'd share. I won't keep you up night

[Tom Griswold]

by

[Tim Cavanaugh]

running on my wheel I'll be cheap to keep.

[Josh Arnold]

Now

[Tim Cavanaugh]

you won't have to buy my meals. I wanna be you dead hamster. I can still be a good pet. You're dead hamster. Don't flush me down yet. Think of all the good times and there's more fun we can share. I can still go through my habit

[Josh Arnold]

trail

[Tim Cavanaugh]

if you tilt me it here and there. All right. That's it, hamster.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Very silly.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday, the great Peter Gabriel. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Possibly the best MTV videos ever.

[Josh Arnold]

They were incredible. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Incredible.

[Tom Griswold]

And great songs, but.

[Josh Arnold]

And Genesis got better after he left. And he got better.

[Tom Griswold]

That was weird.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And Phil even played on some of his solo albums.

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely. Yeah. They weren't the enemies that some people want to think they were.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And I totally agree. Agree. We have the Tim Cavanaugh theme music again, please. Oh, thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, everybody.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

It's time once again for Tim Cavanaugh's Cavalcade of Celebrity Birthdays. I'm comedian Tim Cavanaugh. Dr. J. Julius Irving turned 76 this week. I was a big fan of Dr. J's in the early 80s, but then he took my grandfather's gallbladder out, and we found out at the funeral he wasn't really a doctor. That's a tough way to find out. Turning 72 this week is Renee Russo, the actress who looks like a man. And Tin Cop. Go back and look at that. That's a mistake. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell turned 67 this week, which cost me $600 on a stupid over under bet. I thought for sure it was at least 83. Doesn't age well. Turning 45 this week is Paris Hilton. I came up with a Paris Hilton riddle that I thought I'd share. What's the difference between a shop that sells handkerchiefs and Paris Hilton? One is a hanky store.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, very good.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Dennis DeYoung from the band Styx is celebrating a birthday. You know, he's good friends with Mick Jagger, and they were talking and they were thinking of putting a tour together, and they came up with the name Jagger the Young, which Sticks and stones would have been so much easier.

[Josh Arnold]

It would have.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

They were just looking too hard. Born this month, back in 1475, was the great painter and sculptor Michelangelo. What a lot of people don't know. He was also an excellent poet. In fact, he wrote the famous verse Arty Farty. Through a party, all the far farts were there. Tutti Frutti blew a beauty. We all went out for air.

[Tom Griswold]

I had no idea.

[Christy Lee]

I've never heard that before.

[Tom Griswold]

Michael Angelo translates so well into English, nothing was lost.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Born this week, back in 1918 with the late Robert Wadlow. 86 years after his death, Wadlow still holds the record for being the world's tallest man, standing 8ft, 11 inches tall. In 1989, he was the star of a children's book called where's Wadlow? The book that never really caught on, given that Wadlow was 3ft taller than everyone else in the book.

[Josh Arnold]

What are you talking. He's right there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Pretty easy to find, really.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, turned 72 this week. The Simpsons. Simpsons is such a great show. It's been on for 30 years, and it's still funny. And after all these years, they've finally taken a poll asking, who's your favorite? Simpson finishing first, Homer finishing last.

[Christy Lee]

O.J.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

he's dead, but he's still in my act. Pink is 46, which everybody who does paint by night numbers already know. Turning 47 next week is actress and singer Bijou Phillips. She is musician John Phillips daughter. You know, the one he didn't sleep with.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, gee. Allegedly.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

You have to say allegedly.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah, you do.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Sorry. Born this month back in 1900 was actor Spencer Trace.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

While he and Katharine Hepburn never married, they were soul mates for 26 years. And just like the tabloids of today, the gossip columns back then cleverly combined their names, calling them Spence Cat. That was not their first choice, but hep C and cancer proved to be a little rough.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. Hep C. Hep C.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

The late Fats Domino, the great rock and roller from the 50s, would have turned 98 this week. In fact, today would have been his birthday. He was so popular back in the day that other singers started to copy him, giving themselves a first name that implied they were heavy and a last name that was a playing piece from a game. So fats Domino led to chubby checker, who led to lard ass tiddlywink, who never really caught him.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a shame. He's very talented.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Celebrating birthday number 71 this week is Kelsey Grammer. This fall, he'll be teaming up with Tori spelling on a new show called Kelsey and Tori. Because, let's face it, who's gonna watch a show called grammar and spelling? Another celebrity with a birthday this month. Mercedes rule. BMWs are also nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

No, no skipping that entire page of bad jokes. All right, Finally. Born this month in 1884 was Alfred Carlton Gilbert, the man who invented one of the most popular toys of all time, the Erector set. I received my first Erector set when I was seven years old, long before I hit puberty. So while I didn't fully understand the lessons I was learning at the time, playing with my Erector set taught me that. Taught me this. Your best screws are only as good as your nuts.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's why I see that's wise.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Well, that wraps up another edition of Tim Castle on birthdays.

[Josh Arnold]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

We enjoyed it very much. And good to know that OJ Is the least popular of the Simpsons. I wouldn't have ever remembered that. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

More of the show is on the way.

[Tom Griswold]

You can find us on X at Bob and Tom or you can email

[Josh Arnold]

us at Bob and Tom. Bob and tom dot com. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We are live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee's at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, I am, Mike.

[Josh Arnold]

Mark is here delivering letters.

[Christy Lee]

Yay, Mark.

[Josh Arnold]

Good. Good morning. There's Pat Godwin. Hello. Jeff Oskay is across the way. Hey. As is Ace Cosby.

[Al Jackson]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

I am Josh Arnold. And Tom. We're joined by one of our favorite people and members of the family on zoom.

[Tom Griswold]

There he is. I can see him right there. Are you doing a. A soul patch? What's going on at the bottom of your chin? I don't.

[Al Jackson]

I just think I need to shave.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay. Looks like you got, like, a.

[Al Jackson]

Well, Tom, I'm glad you brought it up because I am still of the corporate mindset, meaning that, like, I'm used to having a day job and just as you. I was like, oh, I need to shave. I was like, do I. I think I. My lifelong dream. Because I saw a picture of my dad. My dad was, like, a real man. He got out of the army me before he went to law school. He just got a motorcycle and drove around the country hustling guys in pool. And now men fight online about chin structure. Yeah, it's really embarrassing if they knew, like, the men that came before us. And I always think about, like, the freedom my dad must have felt even though he's driving around the south as a black man in the 50s, just like, yeah, this is like. And he had a handlebar mustache. And it's like, I think that might need to happen. I grew one once when my girl was out of town for, like, two weeks and she came back and she was not a fan.

[Tom Griswold]

So I don't know now, let me ask you, if you're making a movie about your father, black man in the 50s, who would. With a handlebar mustache. And that's unusual. Who would you. What actor would you have portray him as a young man, obviously in his 20s. So you'd have to have a young.

[Al Jackson]

I would, you know, maybe like, because it kind of looked a little bit similar. Maybe like a young James Earl Jones. Like, you know, not, Not King Jaffe Jaffer. James Earl Jones. Like a younger one.

[Josh Arnold]

Like, have you ever seen him in Doctor Strange Love?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, yeah, that's a good. Yes, that would be good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

We'd have to have like a young James. And I think, I think he'd be good. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I was thinking, I was thinking Fred Williamson. Oh, the Hammer. Because I think that might be closer. Yeah, he had a much better. He had a really great stash.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

And my dad had a legit Afro. A legit. Like, he is. A picture of him holding me in front of a red Bonneville. Shout out that up, man.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we got to see.

[Al Jackson]

It's so. It's such a cool picture.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Al Jackson]

And I don't know, I just, I. I've said it many times on the show before. I just feel like I, I was born in a different era. I don't like being tracked all the time. I don't like, I, I don't like that. I, I just wish there was more freedom to life. And I don't think, you know, it like, how many people, they're like, I'm free, but, like, come home like an hour late and your partner's like, I'm tracking you. Why are you still at the grocery store?

[Tom Griswold]

Like, I don't like that.

[Al Jackson]

I don't like, I don't like that. I don't know what it is. So I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I think you're kind of feel. It seems to me that you're feeling your father was a. Was more of a man than you're a man.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, men were more.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. I mean, not even. I, I think I am a little bit old school and traditional in a lot of the ways. It's just that, like, I kind of. I think anybody from that era, you just got to do what you like to do all the time.

[Tom Griswold]

Time.

[Al Jackson]

And we didn't know everything, so we didn't think about everything all the time. I know knowledge is power and all that kind of stuff, but I think that we. You could teeter into knowing too much about things. It makes it More difficult to enjoy things. I don't know. I just. I don't want to know everything.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to see this picture of your dad and see if he looked more like Eldridge Cleaver. Yeah, okay.

[Al Jackson]

I am. I'm writing this down. You guys will have a picture of my dad unless. Because I had it in one, maybe,

[Tom Griswold]

like Stokely, Carmine, Michael. I'm seeing kind of a. Well, I mean, Black Panther era.

[Al Jackson]

It was. Well, this is. I'm guessing, because I was born in 77, this picture was probably 1978. So it's, you know, the. It's not as sharp as we're used

[Josh Arnold]

to, but you'll be able to.

[Tom Griswold]

It's post Black Panther. A more Symbionese Liberation Army.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I believe.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. This is. This is late 70s. I'm trying to think who was. Who was like a big black artist in the late 70s, Tom, you know,

[Tom Griswold]

that I was talking about. There's a documentary coming out, I think, real soon. I'm not a Billy Preston. The. The great. He's obviously seen in the. The keyboard scenes in the Beatles. Let It Be. Terrific solo artist. He had nothing from nothing leads. Not nothing but. And he's. He had a very troubled life. There's a great documentary I have read that is coming out about him. I can't wait to see it. But he. I saw him in concert, and he had this gigantic fro that I later found out was a wig. I mean, it was a halo of hair. Yeah, it was. It was a wig.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. I mean, it. People sleep on, like, an Afro would. It took incredible maintenance to get, like, if that's really your hair, which obviously it really was, you have to constantly pick it out. But also it has to be soft and also malleable. And, you know, you have to, like, trim it constantly. It's like anything else. It grows. It's like. It's a huge pain. It's like having a baby on your head.

[Tom Griswold]

The only fro I've seen lately is the former quarterback who got into a lot of controversial stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Kaepernick.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Colin Kaepernick. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. And he had that under a helmet.

[Tom Griswold]

But, I mean, contemporary figures that have a fro.

[Al Jackson]

It's kind of, you know, who's got a baby fro is. Is Williams from the. The Bears. I can't think of people's names in the off season. Am I the only person, like, all right. But, yeah. What's his name, baby?

[Christy Lee]

I don't remember.

[Al Jackson]

Caleb Williams. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Caleb.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Caleb's Got a mini one, which I bet you in the off season, season probably gets pretty gangster. But like I'm. Unless you're going to do cornrows during the season to get your helmet on and off and on, I would think that it'd be hard to maintain.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, we got to get to our word of the day here, Al. And once again, I'm seeing Fred Williamson. He had a great stash. If your dad had a pretty good stash. That's. My dad had.

[Al Jackson]

My, my dad had a 1980 like San Diego motorcycle cop stash. It was just like legit.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. My father, my father never had facial hair ever in his life.

[Al Jackson]

There were, there were two kinds of men back then. Men didn't have a lot of like you were either crazy stash or just, you know, plain face, fresh face, cadet. So it's interesting. I could see definitely never had. Never really having facial hair.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now what's. What is my word to learn today to get a little bit more hip in life?

[Al Jackson]

Tom, there's a. There. Let me see if we can get to two really quickly. Tom, One that the kids are using that I love a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the word clocked Clock, like blood clot?

[Josh Arnold]

No, like a timepiece.

[Al Jackson]

Like a grandfather clocked. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, is it traditionally he got clocked, meaning he got punched in the face?

[Al Jackson]

It is not. That's a good guess. Is it does he might know off the bat? It's not.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know this. You sit in a sense, you know,

[Al Jackson]

it's, you know, I'll just be honest. I. I love Josh to death, but you know, he comes in more Monday morning and you know, he's too sick to work on Friday, but Monday morning he told us about this crazy workout he did. And I just be like, yeah, I clocked that.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody? No, I don't get it. Clocked.

[Al Jackson]

It just means like you noticed that somebody was lying about something. Oh, so you're just like, oh, yeah. Oh, he's too sick to come in Friday, three day weekend, but all of a sudden, Monday he told me he did an iron man.

[Josh Arnold]

It makes sense. A couple clock. You doing 75 and a 55.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's right.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, yeah, that's a. Yeah, that's a good point. I never even put that together, but absolutely. So yeah, clocked, which is like one that people actually use. And I can, could. I guess sometimes we probably use it by default and don't even know it.

[Tom Griswold]

Now how about the word half cocked?

[Josh Arnold]

I always like that he went off half cocked.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, right. And it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean he. He ran into a guy with one of those machetes. It's. The gun was not ready to go. Is that what that means? Just about to shoot it off?

[Josh Arnold]

Or it doesn't mean he has a semi.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. Okay, good. Let's get our second word in. L. What's our second word?

[Al Jackson]

All right, Tom, it's a quick phrase, and, you know, we are on radio, so I will preface this by saying this has nothing to do with violence at all. Nothing. So, Tom, that being said, what would the phrase shooting up the club mean?

[Tom Griswold]

Shooting up the club?

[Christy Lee]

I have a guess.

[Tom Griswold]

Go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Is it a guy who's so cool that he's, like, slaying all the ladies? He's going in there, I'm going to shoot up the club and get all the girls.

[Tom Griswold]

World.

[Al Jackson]

Christy, that's not 100.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

But, like, you just walked in the room of the correct answer.

[Josh Arnold]

You're in the. Okay, go.

[Al Jackson]

That. That's a. That's the overview. But, like, what would be the specific?

[Tom Griswold]

Is it a guy. Is it a guy buying drinks for everybody?

[Al Jackson]

No, go back to Christie.

[Josh Arnold]

Is it a guy taking a lot of chances and striking out a lot, but he gets one? He gets one?

[Al Jackson]

No, Take that hat. Take half of your answer. A guy taking a lot of chances.

[Tim Cavanaugh]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Very successful with the ladies.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Slam. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Maybe not being. Protecting themselves.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, having a lot of unprotected sex.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Yes, yes. But also, it's more of a. A deliberate decision. Like, you know, look, we got married and we haven't been. Look, he's been shooting up the club for a year now, and nothing's happened.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow. Okay. All right, so he's been. He's been finishing inside, but no baby.

[Christy Lee]

No babies.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Or.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Or he.

[Al Jackson]

He shot up the club and we got two kids. You know, I think it's just like. That's just generally what's happening.

[Tom Griswold]

Shut up. The club.

[Josh Arnold]

I want to go to the club.

[Tom Griswold]

I love club.

[Josh Arnold]

I love the club.

[Al Jackson]

I think I need. I. I just need to hear Tom use it in a sentence. That's all I need in my life.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, as you know, I have a number of children, so quite clearly, I have been shooting up the club for quite some time. In fact, I've got a membership to several clubs. I'm still playing Dues clubs.

[Al Jackson]

Club Dues.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. There we go. Al Jackson is our guest. Al, are you in the road anytime soon? What are you doing, man?

[Al Jackson]

I just Got back from the road. I'm actually just enjoying myself this week. I'm going to. Me and my girlfriend are making our annual pilgrimage to Arizona for spring training.

[Josh Arnold]

So that's what's up.

[Al Jackson]

So just check out Nico and Jolie when you get a chance. I appreciate all the. Bob and Tom love Nico and Jolie at Etsy, but other than that, yeah, I'm just gonna be hanging out watching some pre spring training baseball this weekend. Life is good.

[Tom Griswold]

Good. All right. Thank you very much, Al Jackson. Coming up, we have. We have interesting things coming in the world of news, including etiquette. When you're using the smallest room at someone's house, there are rules. We'll find out what they are. Also, we have a great cop story that's coming up that involves a trash can. We have something from the Duncan people, something they're experimentally marketing that's quite interesting. And a story Christy will like about bird watching because she's our local bird watcher right now. I want to remind you that chick McGee came in here about 10 plus years ago and said, hey, over the weekend I installed a security system. It was called Simplisafe. We had never heard about it. And chicks, guys, I did it myself. Well, Simplisafe has grown exponentially since then. And they've got a bunch of great stuff. Chick currently has 11 cameras, so he beats all of us. We have Simplisafe here at our studio. Simplisafe, you can have it installed for you if you like. And Simplisafe, like I say, they've gotten really sophisticated. The latest thing they have is called Active Guard Outdoor protection from Simplisafe. What this means is they've got AI driven cameras watching your stuff. And if there's someone lurking out there or acting suspicious, they have agents that can see that. They get alerted and they will alert the cops. They can go and say, hey, you, get out of there. Cops are coming. They can even activate spotlights. Contemporary technology is amazing. And Simplisafe has done a lot like I said in the last decade to make it even better. I will tell you this. The last five years, they have been named the best home security system by U.S. news and World Report five years in a row, like I said. And number one in customer service, ranked by both Newsweek and USA Today. So SimpliSafe, they know what they're doing. If you'd like to have maybe keep your office secure, keep your shop secure, keep your house secure, check out Simplisafe. Today's the day to do it because they have a staggering 50% off a new SimpliSafe system with professional monitoring. @simplisafetom.com There's a bunch of different monitoring options that you can get, by the way, starting at about a buck a day. So get all the details, see what's going on by going to simplisavetom.com. remember, remember that 50% off a new SimpliSafe system with professional monitoring. They like to say there's no safe like Simplisafe. Tell them the Bob and Tom show sent you. Coming up, a big Metallica story for starters when we return. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show. Live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Leaf, news desk.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi.

[Josh Arnold]

And there is Pat Gotman. Hey, Josh. My gosh, if it isn't Jeff Oskar. Hey, buddy. And there is Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm Josh Arnold. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

An answer to a question we asked earlier today. Yeah, what was that?

[Christy Lee]

That's you. I think it was just.

[Tom Griswold]

I just heard a bell ringing.

[Josh Arnold]

It does seem to be coming from your area.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

And by area, I don't mean your phone.

[Tom Griswold]

Hang on a second. I told you. See this? I've been discombobulated all day. Are they okay?

[Josh Arnold]

You know, we all have those.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it just says urgent message from the hospital.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm.

[Josh Arnold]

We have a new manager.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

I just thought it'd be more subtle if I just laid it out there rather than underscore the fact that right now, wouldn't it be weird if a

[Christy Lee]

baby was born today, too?

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

One of our people crashes expecting a baby today. So let's see now, where was it? Oh, we were talking about the climber guy that climbed that tower and what was it, in Taiwan?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And he was being interviewed and he talked about some of the difficulties of doing that, including upper level thin air defecation, etc. Etc. Yeah, but we got talking about climbing the radio towers because we just had. We just had the light bulb in the south tower where we are just was changed. I found out it's a. It depends on the company, but it's about three to four dollars a foot. Wow. Okay, so to put a light bulb on this tower costs about 1500 bucks.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

So. And it takes the guy a few hours, I guess, but.

[Josh Arnold]

And I guess how many Polish guys does it take to change a light bulb on one of those towers?

[Tom Griswold]

What's the more difficult because they got to drag the bowling ball with them. Sorry, I don't. Why that. I don't know where that comes from. I'm sorry. But we're going to try to get a tower climber guy in the air.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up. Maybe tomorrow, maybe Monday.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

From up on the tower. Yeah, that'd be great. What it's like, I mean, they should have good reception. Yeah, yeah, right on. Right there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I think better than a zoom.

[Tom Griswold]

You put your ear. You put your ear up to it and you can hear the radio. There was a time there was some. Some anomaly going on. My toaster turned into a radio.

[Josh Arnold]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, because of the am. It would pick up the AM station. I used to live a few hundred yards from here. It turned into a radio. Yeah. Welcome to the toaster. I could hear the AM broadcasting.

[Josh Arnold]

Weird.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure if that's good for you.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I was gonna say that. Couldn't some people swear to get it in their feelings?

[Tom Griswold]

Their teeth? Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's true too. They could. They would somehow hear the radio.

[Christy Lee]

Wouldn't that be awful?

[Josh Arnold]

How.

[Tom Griswold]

It depends if it's this show. Hey, we'd like to say hello to your cavities.

[Josh Arnold]

We have been accused. We've been accused of leaving a bad taste in some people's mouths.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we have.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now let's move over to Chrissy Lee. What's happening happening over there?

[Christy Lee]

Metallica has confirmed its residency at the Las Vegas Sphere this fall.

[Josh Arnold]

Not a bad choice.

[Christy Lee]

According to USA Today, the residency, dubbed Life Burns Faster will play an initial eight dates. If you want to get your calendars out. October 1st and 3rd, 15th and 17th, October 22nd and 24th and October 29th and 31st. Ticket registration is currently open online. While two night and single night tickets will go on sale Friday, March 6th.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe I'll take a look at those. I've never seen Metallica live.

[Christy Lee]

And it'll be the first rock band to play the venue too, so it'll be something.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're so old now. The sandman enters about 4:30 in the afternoon. Well, the Eagles played. They're. They're rock.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you consider them rock? No.

[Christy Lee]

Hard rock.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. They probably mean metal.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The band. I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, do you remember the video for their song one? Yes. And it was like 14 minutes long. Yes. And it was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen. And I was like, oh, I didn't want to sleep this week. Like it was like some dude on his deathbed like twitching and blinking his eyes.

[Christy Lee]

I don't remember that.

[Josh Arnold]

It is essentially a movie, right? Yeah, it's from a movie. From a movie. Oh. Oh, yeah. It's terrifying.

[Christy Lee]

The band will also continue its no Repeat weekend tradition that began with the kickoff of their M72 World Tour. No songs repeated on each Thursday and Saturday throughout the course of the run.

[Tom Griswold]

And those shows are a Thursday and a Saturday. Right. In October.

[Josh Arnold]

So that's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder what that looks. When I saw the Eagles at the Sphere. You saw. And when the Eagles. They had a lot. They. They project all kinds of old photographs of the band and then they. Sometimes they'll have live shots of the band as they're playing. In that moment, I. I went and

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't like it. I saw my Dinner with Andre at the Sphere and it was just a little lackluster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Right? Spent too much.

[Tom Griswold]

I admire the courage of saying that joke.

[Josh Arnold]

So tell me what you think of Ben Wall.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. My dinner with Andre. I thought I was obscure, but yeah, the Eagles were great at the Sphere and they're only doing a handful more of concerts and they're doing a very brief tour this summer and then that's it, they're done.

[Christy Lee]

The Rock and Roll hall of Fame has announced its 2026 list of nominees mixing pop, rap, metal, R B and more. It includes Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, nxs, Iron Maiden, Luther Vandross.

[Josh Arnold]

Lauryn Hill. The woman who said that if she knew white people were going to buy her cd, she wouldn't have made it. Okay, yeah, go ahead and reward her.

[Christy Lee]

Shakira. Shakira.

[Josh Arnold]

Blatant racism.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Wu Tang Clan, Melissa Etheridge, Jeff Buckley. Who's Jeff Buckley?

[Josh Arnold]

Melissa Etheridge, who said, no, I will not make out with you. To me. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. Reward her for.

[Tom Griswold]

Jeff Buckley is a. Was a brilliant young guy. He was this. Actually the son of Tim Buckley, the singer songwriter, and Jeff famous for his interpretation of the Leonard Cohen song Hallelujah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's my favorite version.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

He's great. Hallelujah. Yeah. You've heard.

[Christy Lee]

It's a. I've heard it.

[Tom Griswold]

Great song. Yeah. But he. Sadly, he died very young. He drowned in the Mississippi River.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, It's a weird. Who. It was a very odd story.

[Christy Lee]

I'll look that up on my own pink. New Edition. Sade or Saudi or Sade or however you pronounce your name.

[Tom Griswold]

Name. Yeah, it's. I think they do it. Charde. There's no R in there, but it's spelled.

[Christy Lee]

S, A D E, Billy Idol, Joy Division, SL New Order, Black Crows, and Oasis.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. Black Rose is a. No. That's if it's not Black Crows for.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they gotta go in.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

The final class will be revealed, of course, in April.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. Don't you think Oasis 2 this year?

[Tom Griswold]

Oasis.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It's still too soon to be, but I want to see if they can make it through this tour. Tour. If they can make it through this tour without killing. Yeah, we'll consider it.

[Christy Lee]

Who don't you like on that list? Everyone.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's. It's just.

[Josh Arnold]

It's not a bad list this time.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that really. There's no objectionable. I think there's a lot of great artists that should be on it that are not.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, fair enough. Duncan is testing 48 ounce buckets of coffee. According to the New York Times, the giant containers of iced coffee are currently available at select number of Dunkin locations in Massachusetts and in New Hampshire.

[Tom Griswold]

Knowing the effect it has, I hope they're including a plunger.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We brought the bucket of coffee.

[Josh Arnold]

Thoughts and prayers for your toilet. We. You're a hero if you bring this to your office.

[Christy Lee]

Though the coffee chain has not yet promoted the buckets online or on social media, leading to an online scavenger hunt for fans trying to locate the store that are actually selling them. Employees at two locations in New Hampshire told the Times that they were already sold out with no immediate plans to restock.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there a cover on it or is it going to slosh around in your car and spill everywhere?

[Christy Lee]

Well, of course.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, you can. Not only can you dunk a. Dunk a donut in it, you can dunk your head in it.

[Christy Lee]

The buckets feature a handle and have a straw in the middle of the lid. Tom, you know what we have to do?

[Josh Arnold]

We have to. When this is available near us, we have to get one and bob for donuts. Oh, I'm in. Yeah, I am, too.

[Tom Griswold]

How hot is that?

[Christy Lee]

You're gonna. It's iced coffee, Tom. Did you not see hear me say that?

[Tom Griswold]

I wasn't listening. You were talking,

[Josh Arnold]

Christy. Don't take that personally. He could have been speaking to any one of us.

[Tom Griswold]

It's iced coffee.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the point of that?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm telling you, a hot August morning, you bring this into your office, you are the hero for the day.

[Tom Griswold]

Willie got me drinking that this year.

[Christy Lee]

Look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a clear bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, sure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you want, like A metal pail.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You literally did.

[Tom Griswold]

I wanted a wooden one made of slats.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you still get one of those?

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe if you buy a well.

[Tom Griswold]

A wooden bucket?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. If you buy a wishing well, it comes with the well do. Christy, was there a price point in that story?

[Christy Lee]

There was not a price point.

[Josh Arnold]

What do you guys think? 30 bucks.

[Tom Griswold]

Bucks.

[Christy Lee]

The bucket apparently lasted one lady five hours.

[Josh Arnold]

So one lady drank it. Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

And then after drinking the entire bucket, she painted her house with Q tips. And then she. Yeah, then she changed the oil on her car, and then she put wallpaper on them.

[Christy Lee]

Well, if she came over to your house after drinking that bucket of coffee, you might want to give her the etiquette for pooping at your house, because there's what we have right here. A user shared some of the lessons her mother taught. Taught them about going to the bathroom at someone's home. This was on Reddit. It included doing the courtesy flush, which you're a big fan of.

[Josh Arnold]

I am, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Should be.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Spraying.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, when you do the courtesy flush, do you get splashed?

[Josh Arnold]

No. No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you stand up?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Otherwise, it's a no. The courtesy is as soon as it hits the water, you flush. And you might not be finished yet.

[Christy Lee]

That's why it's called a courtesy flush.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but, I mean, doesn't the. It's spray up to your.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, you. You have. You have disqualified yourself from this conversation the morning you took a bowl of cereal into the bathroom. Yes. Oh, Josh. I thought the courtesy flush was the second flush. No, no.

[Christy Lee]

First one.

[Josh Arnold]

First one.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

While you're there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's not festering in there.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought it was always just another flush.

[Christy Lee]

No, because you get rid of it quick so there's no smell.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but I don't. I'm not. Not against your definition, because I bet people have used it like that.

[Tom Griswold]

But now there is a technique here that I had never heard of. Keep reading.

[Christy Lee]

And then spraying poo pourri, which I carry with me all the time, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

And wait a minute. Is poo pourri the stuff that we have it in our bathroom seals the water or something on top.

[Christy Lee]

We have it in our bathroom.

[Tom Griswold]

Does that work?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it smells good. Boy, I thought lavender.

[Josh Arnold]

I went in your purse to look for mints, and I used it as banaka.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it worked.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. My breath never smelled so fresh.

[Christy Lee]

And this also suggests cleaning the toilet after you finish each time.

[Josh Arnold]

If I were to, let's say, sprinkle on the Rim. I'll wipe it.

[Tom Griswold]

But now this next thing is a technique I've never heard of. Keep reading.

[Josh Arnold]

Let me interrupt you now. Keep reading. That's the old three stools.

[Christy Lee]

No, you're talking too much.

[Josh Arnold]

Wake up and go to sleep.

[Christy Lee]

Well, no, you're talking too much. Keep reading.

[Tom Griswold]

These are in the wrong order, these suggestions.

[Christy Lee]

You wrote the damn story.

[Tom Griswold]

I told you I was an hour behind today. I cannot be responsible for anything.

[Josh Arnold]

10 minutes behind.

[Christy Lee]

I wasn't.

[Tom Griswold]

I was an hour behind.

[Christy Lee]

Some suggestions. I'm going to move it around. Some suggestions included putting a piece of TP in the water first to avoid leaving streaks.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like the fireman holding the net when people are jumping out of the

[Christy Lee]

burning building, flushing while you defecate to mask any sound and simply holding it until you're safely back on familiar territory.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, well, that's unfair.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

This is about. I've gone number two at Tom's house before.

[Al Jackson]

How was.

[Josh Arnold]

Was weird trying to position myself over the urinal, but I got it in there.

[Christy Lee]

Have you turned the water on before? I've done that.

[Josh Arnold]

God wants to turn the water on.

[Tom Griswold]

God make noise. They said. Jesus. Jackie Kennedy was famous for that at Hyannis Port.

[Christy Lee]

My husband, I think, does that too. I think he did it while we were on the show. Why waste water? Why make. Why do you want to hear the sounds?

[Tom Griswold]

We had a new story a couple years ago. There's a company that makes a little box, electronic box, kind of like a sleep sound machine.

[Christy Lee]

So that you can turn it on when you're in the bathroom.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

If I'm in a public restroom, I will go into a stall and take a jug of water and dump it on the ground while I'm going to the bathroom. Oh, yeah, that's.

[Christy Lee]

You're the guy.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm the guy. But primarily you like to do an upper decker.

[Al Jackson]

Oh no.

[Josh Arnold]

I was at a rest. I think it's Nobu in New York City. I was.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't mean buying Rollings Sporting Goods was buying. We were on an expense account when I. In one of my old jobs. And when you walked in the bathroom, I think it was. No, you heard the ocean.

[Christy Lee]

Nice.

[Josh Arnold]

And that was really like a cool feature. Yeah, just waves crashing at the resort I just stayed at. The bathroom door was one of those glass ones that doesn't like close. Like it just is like a saloon door type with a foot from the top and the bottom. It was the worst. Why would you do that to anyone? You could hear it through it. Echoed. It was horrible.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The worst is when you're someone's house and they have one of those Jack and Jill bathrooms. So you've got, got the potential, the potential of two different doors flinging open.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. There, there was a green room in a comedy club we all worked that had that. It's like, well, I got to take a pre show dump. Oh, nice to meet you, server. It was such a bummer.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, right now let's talk to our car girl, shall we? It's Christy Lee. We determined that she has owned more automobiles than the rest of us over the course of time. Used to get a new car every year.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I don't do that anymore because I've had my Hyundai hybrid for. It'll be, it was, it's two and a half years now. I love it so much, I don't ever want to part with it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, speaking of Hyundai, Hyundai's got something going on right now. It's a nationwide special event in the world of Hyundai. I want to talk specifically about the Hyundai palisade hybrid. An EPA estimated 619 miles of range. And no cleats on the seats is their motto because the back seats are captain's chairs. And then to get to the way back, the kids or whoever can just walk between those two seats so they don't have to climb over the back seat to get to those special rear seats. That's a great idea. No cleats on the seats from Hyundai. Go to HyundaiUSA.com find out about the Hyundai Palisade Hybrid with the 619. Estimates miles of range, of course. And it's a hybrid. You don't have to plug it in. It's charging as you're driving it. Visit HyundaiUSA.com that's Hyundai USA.com and be like, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When we come back, a cool cop story. And we'll squeeze in a little bit of today in history. I think we can grab that for you. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the BOB and Tom Show. Got a comment to share? Text us at 888-2262-8661. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the BOB and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee's there.

[Christy Lee]

I'm taking tomorrow off. I can't take it.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a question, Jeff.

[Josh Arnold]

Oscar's across the way. Yeah. There's Ace. I'm Josh Arnold. And Tom, you have a question.

[Tom Griswold]

King Charles. Right. Do you Suppose that he. Because we were talking about bathroom etiquette.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

Disposing the honeymoon with Diana, the first thing that turned her off was when he took a big dump and flushed it and said, hey, you're the royal flush.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, you have to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it's a must.

[Josh Arnold]

And if she were any. Any true princess of the people, she would have laughed.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Christy, we're gonna talk about birds

[Christy Lee]

now, because I want to talk about this story.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, ironically, Princess Diana did not use the poo pourri spray that Christy Lee uses. Tom already knows where this is going.

[Christy Lee]

What did she use?

[Josh Arnold]

Pooparazzi. And she used it up to the very end, really.

[Christy Lee]

New research suggests bird watching may do more than pass the time. It could help keep your brain sharp. Scientists in Canada compared expert birders with novices, scientists in Canada with novices and found experts had greater brain density in areas tied to working memory, spatial awareness, and object recognition.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, bird scientists in Canada just call them geese.

[Christy Lee]

Higher tissue density may reflect stronger communication between neurons, and those structural differences were linked to more accurate and acute bird identification.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you guys know? Also, bird scientists, when they're thirsty, they just drink dry.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's true.

[Josh Arnold]

We call it Canada Dry. They call it, of course, dry.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You want me to do bacon Next?

[Christy Lee]

Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, does not prove birding prevents cognitive decline.

[Tom Griswold]

However, the thing about birding is you get to carry around binoculars and you don't get arrested.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't. You people think, oh, there's a creep. No, no, I like birds. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Researchers say the combination of mental challenge, time in nature, physical activity, and even social interaction may all help support brain health as we age. I can't imagine doing that socially. I like to do it by my, you know, my own backyard, just sitting.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. But there are. You've seen, like, You've probably seen some of the same birding documentaries I have.

[Christy Lee]

Well, he just told me about.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you seen Lister? Is that the one where. It's a group of people, it's two brothers, and they are trying to beat the best year because people keep track of how many. 700 birds a year is considered a good year.

[Christy Lee]

700 different species of birds and people

[Josh Arnold]

will travel, like, take vacations to certain states just because that's the only place they can get right. And like Tom said, the big year is good movie. That's the person. It is a fun movie by Steve Martin. Yeah. And Jack Black.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good movie.

[Josh Arnold]

And all three of them Are trying to get the big year, which is you record the most types of birds. Really serious. Like in the documentary I saw. They're super serious about it. And like, people will challenge other people. Like, there's no way you saw that bird in that location. Right, Right, Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, time for a little bit of history. Since we have. We're running out of time.

[Josh Arnold]

Having fun. I thought, oh, remember Tom hates birds. His father was a bird hater. And sometimes we take the worst traits.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't hate birds. I rescued a hummingbird in my garage. That took. That was really complicated.

[Josh Arnold]

Who rescued who? Honestly?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. I was in my. I was in my garage to hang myself and I. I saw the hummingbird, said, you know something?

[Josh Arnold]

There's something.

[Tom Griswold]

Life is worth Living. Today's February 26th. Oh, here's a good one. Victor Hugo was born. You know, Victor Hugo translates from the French. Big sci fi winner. Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

You. That's. This is the only show, I promise you, that is going to reference the Hugo Awards.

[Tom Griswold]

The Sci Fi Awards. Anybody? No, nobody.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't even know who the person is, but that is as nerdy as it gets.

[Tom Griswold]

He wrote Les Miserables. That's why you can imagine hunchback, right? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know the hunchback went to Notre Dame.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he did.

[Tom Griswold]

He play. Okay. He played to play the bells.

[Christy Lee]

He sat there with Rudy waiting.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, let's see.

[Josh Arnold]

And he did play. He was the quarter hunchback.

[Tom Griswold]

18:20 On a happy birthday. Levi Strauss, considered by some to be a gene. Yes. Oh, Levi.

[Josh Arnold]

I will allow. Okay, but you better be going somewhere.

[Tom Griswold]

He liked big butts and he could not lie. He was the denim don. You know, famously, he never wore a pair of jeans. This is true. I'm not making that up.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, he. Jeans were considered to be for laborers. And he was a businessman. Yes. Serious.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it wasn't a. You don't try your own supply type thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's like the water company guy going, so I can't drink that.

[Josh Arnold]

By the way, if your water guy says that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, listen, listen. 1846. Happy birthday, Buffalo Bill, who should properly have been named what?

[Josh Arnold]

Bison Bill.

[Tom Griswold]

Bison Bill. But what a great America got a football team named after him.

[Josh Arnold]

He has two football teams named after him.

[Christy Lee]

What year Was he born?

[Tom Griswold]

1846.

[Christy Lee]

When was the last buffalo in the United States?

[Tom Griswold]

Gosh, I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

So it could have been still okay then?

[Tom Griswold]

No, but they're. But those are actually bison, what we call buffalo.

[Josh Arnold]

They always have been.

[Christy Lee]

No, we had Buffalo at one point.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought we did have Buffalo at one point.

[Christy Lee]

We did.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But I have no idea.

[Josh Arnold]

Bison, my two football team didn't get anything. What's. What are the two. The Bills and the Buffaloes. That's why you got what you got. Oh, yeah. It is the Buffalo Bills.

[Tom Griswold]

You were doing so well.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm a hockey fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Lastly, on. On this date, 1853, the fake famous John Harvey Kellogg was born. And this sounds like I'm making this up. He invented cornflakes. And I'm not kidding. You can Google this or whatever. It was an anti masturbation thing. He was a big advocate of not masturbating.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it'll cut. It'll cut your thing up. You can't use cornflakes to masturbate.

[Tom Griswold]

No. This says he created cornflakes as an anaphrodisiac, which I'd never heard of before.

[Josh Arnold]

You use Grape Nuts.

[Tom Griswold]

Nuts, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Just be sure to wash it off. Those get stuck on there. They're like particles.

[Tom Griswold]

And I guess he thought frosted flakes are real sin. You got that in the sugar. Okay, thank you very much. These were the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Do you like partying?

[Tom Griswold]

I do. Like a huge chug of tequila. The house dollar head whiskey bottle chug in front of Dana White. That was the first time we ever went to la.

[Josh Arnold]

We somehow got into a biddy party. What's the Elon Musk House Party look like?

[Tom Griswold]

My party's generally a very high production value. This is Full Send. I do want to do a lot more pranks.

[Christy Lee]

Bunch of different pranks.
