[Ace Cosby]

Exclusively on ESPN UFC 311 Saturday reigning lightweight champion and the number one pound for pound fighter Islam Mahasha defends his title in a rematch against Armand Tsarukia.

[Tom Griswold]

And reigning bantamweight champion Rob Dualish Willing.

[Ace Cosby]

Defends his title against a defeated umar Nagomedov. UFC 311 Saturday at 10pm Eastern Buy it on espnplus.com ppb it's the Bob and Tom show to be honest, I'd never heard of the first bank that treats you like your Tom Griswold. This man came in and said he'd never heard of the first bank that treats you like your Tom Griswold. I wanted to make a deposit, but I had a million things to do that day, so I didn't want to spend a long time waiting in line behind a douchebag without proper identification or some loser trying to open a checking account with 20 bucks. We could tell he was a very busy and important customer, so we let him straight to our VIP banking teller, but he refused. I told the morons that I'd rather eat a raw turd than have to sit and listen to their pathetic little pitch about money market funds, CDs or squirrel Christmas accounts. I told them I just walk up to the drive thru atm. Thank you very much. The man was about to go out to use the atm, but we pointed out the armored car in the parking lot. Luckily, the manager spotted a terribly dangerous situation. There was an armed car at the back. Statistically, you know 9 out of 10 bank robberies happen when the security vehicles are around. At the same time, I noticed there was a tanker truck filling the tanks at the gas station across the street. Oh boy, this was the perfect store. The man seemed rather nervous, paranoid and.

[Tom Griswold]

Suspicious, so we could tell he was.

[Ace Cosby]

Exactly the sort of customer we wanted at the first bank that treats you like your Tom Griswold. I could tell something was going on and they were going to rape me on the service charges and loan rates. Yeah, perfect. In the end we recommended he try a Different bank down the street. We didn't need the headache. I could tell they didn't know what they were doing. And they finally admitted that the bank down the street had better facilities. I left immediately and stopped at Starbucks on the way. I don't think the guy ever did open an account. My whole day turned into a storm. I got nothing done. I'm probably going to have Joanie or Dee take care of it later this week after I do a bit more research. By the way, did you see this article in the Wall Street Journal last week? It's fascinating.

[Tom Griswold]

The first bank that treats you like you're Tom Griswold. At the first bank that treats you like you're Tom Griswold. It's gonna be smooth sailing all the way.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, speaking of sailing, this will only make sense if you're a sailor. Similarly, in the film Master Commander, much of it won't make any sense unless you sail.

[Tom Griswold]

Excuse me. Your part of the commercial is done.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

This is the announcer tagline out. And then the music ends.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, by the way, this background music is abysmal. I'll have Steve lay down some organ tracks for you to use.

[Tom Griswold]

We're almost done here.

[Ace Cosby]

I'll have the music back to you in three weeks.

[Chick McGee]

Great.

[Ace Cosby]

Sounds good. The more things change, the more things stay the same.

[Christy Lee]

We kid because we love honey.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, good morning. Welcome to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the SILAC news desk. Hello, SILAC Insurance. There's Pat Godwin.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And he has a Washington Commander's Number 5 jersey on, ladies and gentlemen. Who's Number 5? Who's Number 5? Who's number 5? It's your very fine quarterback, Mr. Daniels.

[Chick McGee]

Number 5 is alive.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you did just in time.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you turn down one of those two things?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You definitely shut up.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's very nice, Chick.

[Ace Cosby]

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, I know.

[Ace Cosby]

I lost count. Many. Let's just put it at many.

[Ace Cosby]

Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

Was there at one point, in one of your homes a so called Redskins room?

[Ace Cosby]

Well, we know.

[Tom Griswold]

And out of this nothing we discover the background. Do you have in your current. I've never been to your house.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, we're gonna keep it that way.

[Tom Griswold]

That's fine. Yeah, I know I. Do you have a Redskins area?

[Ace Cosby]

Well, kind of. The whole house. The whole house has got her Redskins, you know, I mean, there's. There's stuff up everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Any. Any particular prized. Not that I framed anything.

[Ace Cosby]

Not that I could. There's a lot of stuff still in boxes, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, maybe you should have Christy come over. You guys could unpack it maybe.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, let's.

[Christy Lee]

Not me.

[Ace Cosby]

You know what?

[Christy Lee]

I. I introduced him to a very nice woman who can help him do that.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Floyd. Floyd helped me.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Floyd is the best.

[Ace Cosby]

She's an organizer.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay. This is a professional thing. Not a. Not a love thing.

[Christy Lee]

No, she's a professional.

[Tom Griswold]

Like hang up a. Hang up a Jersey, bang the broad. No.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh. No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

This is something different than that.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

You think that same thing.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

I can tell you that I knew.

[Chick McGee]

What they were talking about.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm not aware of that because Josh has not had a head injury, so. He knew. He knew. He knew what we were talking about. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great. Well, I'm looking forward to Saturday's game.

[Ace Cosby]

Saturday, 8:00 Eastern from Ford Field.

[Tom Griswold]

And once again, the spread.

[Ace Cosby]

Washington getting 10.

[Christy Lee]

First game of the weekend.

[Ace Cosby]

No, that's a touchdown and a field goal.

[Tom Griswold]

And your pick is.

[Ace Cosby]

I got to take Washington. I have to. I'm locked in. I don't know what to do now.

[Tom Griswold]

Off the record, do you think Washington will actually win it outright or just.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know, man world. I don't know. I am totally. I don't know. The Lions have a lot of injuries, but they're getting people back. And, well, I'm told Ford Fields are awful place to play. It's loud. I don't know what to think.

[Tom Griswold]

Interestingly enough, speaking of lions. Oh, God, we have totally different Lions. Lions in the news. The kind that have paws and are.

[Christy Lee]

Dangerous and scary and that'll eat you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the pride. Well, well, you'll see.

[Ace Cosby]

A lot of my favorite people are Lions fans, too. So I don't know. I don't know what to do. And I feel bad for. The Lions haven't won a championship since 54, 50, 57, maybe 70 years.

[Tom Griswold]

So. Before face masks, before face mas.

[Ace Cosby]

Super Bowls, before everything.

[Tom Griswold]

When concussions really were.

[Ace Cosby]

Before all races were allowed at the games, before everything. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes.

[Ace Cosby]

A long time ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Glad we got that out there.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, we'll be reviewing your picks coming up. I'm a little bit unorganized, this combo. Yeah, I just. I don't know what's going on. I'm trying to get everything sorted here.

[Ace Cosby]

Can you play some of the music that you listen to in the morning to kind of. Yeah, that is usually to kind of relax or. I mean, it's usually on now, but I mean. Yeah, I kind of. I kind of missed it this morning doing stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I've been playing on a great album by Clifford Jordan called Clifford Jordan and John Gilmore Blowing in from Chicago.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's great stuff. It's jazzy. Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Would you ever say that in a conversation, Josh? You come into a restaurant, meet a guy. Hey, I just blew in from Portland.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Ace Cosby]

No. Yeah. No.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I think it's because they're jazz guys, the guys blowing a saxophone.

[Ace Cosby]

Here we go.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's what it was.

[Ace Cosby]

This sounds like a meth fever dream.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. There's a great lick that begins this tune. It goes.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, let's hear it.

[Chick McGee]

That's like what they're listening to in reefer Madness.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Play it, man. Faster.

[Tom Griswold]

Run solo. It's over.

[Ace Cosby]

Is this Krupa now?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, he did skin.

[Chick McGee]

That's a paradiddle.

[Ace Cosby]

All right, drum stop. Very, very bad.

[Tom Griswold]

Hang on. Well, hang on. That's not it. That's. That's too long.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Here.

[Ace Cosby]

Banging up.

[Tom Griswold]

You like?

[Christy Lee]

I need a.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's the one.

[Tom Griswold]

You listen to these saxophones in harmony. Oh, that's just beautiful. You know my love of big horn sections?

[Christy Lee]

That's what you write in the lounge.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's great. Clifford Gordon and John Gilmore blowing in from Chicago. Great.

[Ace Cosby]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Imagine we get those two guys in here for. Oh, that'd be fun. We have more guests coming up today.

Got a brand new TV special out there on Hulu. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet.

[Ace Cosby]

Debuted today.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, that would explain it. We'll talk to Roy about that. I wanted to ask him about something he talked about on with us. That his dad was a very distinguished news guy.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And I mean he was right there in the whole era of the civil rights movement and knew all the key players and. And you know, as important as all as all of that is, he also discovered the founder of Soul Train.

[Christy Lee]

I remember that.

[Tom Griswold]

Who was a police officer that pulled Roy's dad over. It's a great story and we'll talk to Roy about many things and I don't know much about his new but I know that one of the things he does address is a topic we've talked about at some length which is the. The. What's it called? The ch. The checkout. Self checkout. And how you certain people really like to check out because that's the only chance they get to talk to people. And we've talked about this and my aunt would. My aunt would go out shopping all day to buy nothing just to have some humanity and someone to talk to. And with the self. The self checkout that's gone.

[Ace Cosby]

Here comes crazy lady Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what I'm saying? Some. You have some empathy for people.

[Christy Lee]

There's like guy in my neighborhood a lot. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As a kid. I don't want to mention any names. Maybe it was Mr. Jacks. I didn't notice much, but I did notice. Boy, they sure did have that liquor store delivering a lot. I think he was kind of a. Kind of a drinker. Now we urge you to listen to our program with Raycon Earbuds because it makes it sound that much. But you could hear that great band I just played doing that blowing in from Chicago thing. Yeah, yeah, that'll be Cliff Jordan and John Gilmore. But I think you'd enjoy it even more with Raycon earbuds.

[Ace Cosby]

Raycon's everyday earbuds are also speaking of best friends and talking. They're your perfect gym buddy. You can have your Raycon earbuds as your best friend. Why not?

So of course buy a pair of Raycons for yourself, buy one for your sweetie, wrap them up, perhaps a little jewelry and go, hey, look at this. I can make recordings of my voice. You can play through your Raycon earbuds and you'll be with me all the time. Happy Valentine's Day. Well, thank you Raycon. We certainly appreciate talking to himself.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up we have. Do you dream?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I do.

[Tom Griswold]

With advertisements. This is the weirdest story. How many people have ads show up in their dreams?

[Ace Cosby]

If you could control your dreams and dial something up and be able to dream and like choose it before you go to bed, would you do that?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

A, yes you would. And B, I think that is coming.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Got a nice letter here, actually that kind of ties into this. We were talking about tradio in our early days in radio and it's still out there. It's kind of like the swap shop we called it, where people would call in and say, I've got a Maytag washer. I want to trade for four tires or whatever. Very specific. This is a letter from Bear Wallow, Kentucky.

[Ace Cosby]

What's the name of it?

[Tom Griswold]

Bear Wallow. B E A R W A L L O.

And Wayne writes, I've got a lot of free time right now. I'm dealing with some issues. And I catch you guys on YouTube. Listen to you guys for years. One of the things we have in common. I grew up with an uncle Cletus. C L E A T U S.

[Ace Cosby]

C L E A T. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That is Canadian.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

And Christine, I found out it is Cletus. I had a cousin Cletus. Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

And it was on my dad's side.

[Christy Lee]

It was a woman, a lady.

[Ace Cosby]

So like Edith, but Cletus.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And his. This is really interesting. His wife was named. Was named Cleenail. C L E N A I L E. Also where I live in Kentucky, we have tradio on the radio. It's so popular, it's hard to get your calls in.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I love that.

[Tom Griswold]

So this.

[Ace Cosby]

All this all started because Ace made it known that he has a massage chair. Oh, that's right. He doesn't really use anymore. I gotta find the remote. Oh, well, you can get a universal remote for that. I'm sure we can figure that. But you'd have to put that into the. With the description one massage chair remote missing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And then. But you want to trade it.

[Ace Cosby]

I want to trade it for in your case, maybe $500 Mercedes. A Mercedes Benz.

[Chick McGee]

Unreasonable trading.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

Cosby's your host.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like a G wagon and a chauffeur.

[Ace Cosby]

Impossible, but okay.

[Tom Griswold]

The thing about tradio is, as I said yesterday, I was whenever the. The fun of listening to it even if you don't not you're not in the market for anything. It's just fun to go back and forth. And Chick you hosted. Was your. Was yours called Tradio?

[Ace Cosby]

It was called Tradio. I had a folder and everything. And I got fired for being. For being a smart. For doing what I'm doing now on Tradio. A lady called up and said I had a washer dryer last week and I didn't hear it mentioned. And all I said was, well, gee, that's too bad. And I was really snooty and snotty like I am with Ace. Ace? Yeah. And it turned out the lady was the general manager's close cousin or aunt or something. Yeah. Called me in and fired me right on the spot.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyways, thanks for your letter, Wayne, and good luck with the stuff you're dealing with right now.

[Ace Cosby]

You've never been fired, have you?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, of course not.

[Ace Cosby]

Is it. Do you. Do you attribute it to your ability to do such a great job or your ability to, if you're questioned or you're in trouble, to really sling the bull crap and dodge the situation?

[Tom Griswold]

Very good. Would be the latter, the ladder?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, I think so. I think everybody's like. Everybody who hasn't been fired is probably. I think technically, when they let me go the first time, it was a layoff.

[Chick McGee]

Ah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Ace has been in this building longer than anybody.

[Ace Cosby]

I got a question. How many times you've been fired here? Laid off twice. Laid off twice. Why didn't. Why didn't that stick?

[Tom Griswold]

Is that because I hired Ace?

[Ace Cosby]

Is that.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's right.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, I see. There's the fly in the ointment.

[Chick McGee]

Remember, just like a year before I.

[Ace Cosby]

Came in the studio, he said, I want you on the team.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, on the team.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that what you told him, Rockney? Is that what you told him? I want you on my team.

[Tom Griswold]

Someday you'll have that Mercedes. By the way, can I borrow your chair? What else did we learn on yesterday's show, you ask? Let's see. Oh, here's a list. Right in front of me.

[Ace Cosby]

Sounded like you're.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh. There are going to be posters for our upcoming big event at the Riverside Casino.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the poster has something hidden in it, but I. I think.

[Chick McGee]

Is it cocaine?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you mean like on the image?

[Ace Cosby]

Can I snort my poster?

[Tom Griswold]

I.

[Chick McGee]

Why not?

[Christy Lee]

They'd be popular.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, we are going to be at the Riverside Casino. It's a special broadcast of this show.

[Christy Lee]

Down by four weeks from today. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

It's going to be the 21st of February. It's a Friday. That's right, Christy, and you can join us. We'll be there at 5am local time kicking things off. And it's a free show to come watch that evening. We'll have a regular comedy show. I'll be there. Chick might be there. I'm not sure. A Patty G will be our headliner along with Josh Arnold L. Jackson and Jeff Oscar. Info at Riverside Casino and Resorts.com. hope to see you there. It'll be fun.

[Christy Lee]

Correction.

[Tom Griswold]

And there will be a poster.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And maybe a little something else.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Something else.

[Tom Griswold]

Surprise. My favorite story yesterday that you guys poo pooed was the story about fake job postings.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, it's his favorite story from yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Everybody, apparently about 20 of the job offers you see don't really exist. I've always, always felt that was true, having been screwed by that early on in my career.

[Ace Cosby]

That. Really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but then you weren't.

[Christy Lee]

That weren't.

[Chick McGee]

You were not. You weren't screwed by a fake job posting.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, in a way I was. The job existed. But they I talked to the guy and then I drove 8 hours the next day for the interview and he goes, oh, we hired somebody.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, they told you.

[Ace Cosby]

That's true.

[Tom Griswold]

He had one look at you and.

[Ace Cosby]

Had to come up with something. Did you, Were you at all? Be honest if you can remember. Were you even a little bit self important during the interview?

[Christy Lee]

A little snarky?

[Tom Griswold]

Not at all.

[Ace Cosby]

A little little.

[Tom Griswold]

I arrived, I arrived the night before. About midnight. My car broke down.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's the problem. You look too eager.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I, some, some really nice guy helped me push it to a gas station.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah, you put out the locals. You can't be on the air there.

[Tom Griswold]

The good news is we're on the air there now.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the guy that didn't hire me is working in the warehouse. Oh no.

[Chick McGee]

It was a blessing the guy didn't hire you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's true.

[Ace Cosby]

The guy who fired me for tradio ended up in prison, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Nothing sweeter than sweeter than the failure of others. I always say.

[Ace Cosby]

I think about it a lot, but.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of job postings are fake. Yeah, they're done for all kinds of different reasons. But this, I don't know, I just thought it was really interesting.

[Chick McGee]

It's a bummer because it just makes it harder for those out there looking.

[Tom Griswold]

For a good job.

[Christy Lee]

I don't envy you.

[Ace Cosby]

It's kind of like that in sports when.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the NFL interview. Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Supposed to interview Certain number of people and they already know who they can hire.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that is a, that is a really blatant scam.

[Ace Cosby]

They're going to try to put more teeth in the Rooney rule. That's a big, big topic of discussion.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Now you have to interview a minority before hiring a head coach.

[Tom Griswold]

We found out that, I don't know.

[Ace Cosby]

How they got around it, that they had to come up with a rule.

[Tom Griswold]

Before, but we had a story about an ice maze, the world record ice maze. I don't like corn mazes or ice mazes.

[Christy Lee]

I'm with you, bro.

[Tom Griswold]

In nice maze you have the double fear that if you should get lost, you can freeze to death. And then we found a chick said you're, you're scared of mazes as well.

[Ace Cosby]

I terrified by mazes.

[Tom Griswold]

And my question is, what if someone goes in that thing, has a heart attack? How can the first responders find them?

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's because the people who made the maze know how to get in and out of them.

[Ace Cosby]

Do they though? Yeah, I think that's part of the reason I'm terrified.

[Christy Lee]

Of course they do.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't think they do unless they have a secret passage.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there was a great story on one of those CBS Sunday mornings or something about a guy in England who does the gardens, the big ones.

[Tom Griswold]

Hedges.

[Christy Lee]

Fascinating. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now we had, speaking of England, the Fatbergs in the news again. These are those massive congealed globs of fat and oil and baby wipes. And they found a 210 foot long mass of hardened fat, oil and baby wipes in a place called Sidmouth, England. And then meanwhile there's a laboratory in Scotland that is trying to turn these so called Fatbergs into perfume. This seems like a great way to spend a million dollars to make a dollar if you ask me.

[Christy Lee]

But they can get it down to some pine smelling scent, they say.

[Tom Griswold]

Great.

[Ace Cosby]

How big did you say it was?

[Tom Griswold]

This particular one is 210ft long.

[Ace Cosby]

So a football field's 300ft long.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a giant glob of 210ft and it's in a sewer. So it's also laden with poop.

[Ace Cosby]

Seems like it's too big. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We came up with the standard Chanel number two joke, I believe. And again, I've said from the beginning when they started calling these things Fatbergs, Fatberg to me sounds like in a Batman movie, the Penguins. Accountant, do we have any money?

[Ace Cosby]

Fatberg, do we have any money?

[Tom Griswold]

And Fatberg is a big fat Guy and he wears one of those eye shades. Remember those? You know, those.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, patch.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, the ones. The visor that you always see in the old. And the poker guy. And the guy would have slee rolled up so he couldn't put anything. Pat had a nice song about a haunted hotel. And Pat had a couple good songs yesterday. And then we had a weird story from Al Jackson. He. Al Jackson has a line of. Am I getting this right?

[Christy Lee]

Ladies shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

Ladies loafers. And they're called ranch.

[Christy Lee]

They're ranch loafers. They have, like. They're very colorful, and they have. Imagine if you were in Texas or Arizona, you know, like a steer head or, you know, that kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's selling online on Etsy. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Nick and Jolie, I think is the name of it. Nico and Nico and Jolie. Thank you, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

We discussed the. The laundry line, the drying panties.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And hanging clothes to dry. And I. I guess I'm the only one that really likes a nice line of panties hanging up. I think it's kind of sexy. No one's crying.

[Christy Lee]

I dry mine in the dryer. I don't know what.

[Tom Griswold]

That's not sexy.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Your husband. Let's say your husband comes home from a hard day at work and a typical day, you've been slaving over the stove for three hours.

[Christy Lee]

And he goes into the laundry room.

[Tom Griswold]

Have his favorite duck under glass, candlelight glass of wine ready for him. But he walks in to hang his coat up in your laundry room, and there's a. There's a clothesline with panties on it. That dinner's gonna be late, my lady.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Ace Cosby]

That dinner's gonna be late, my lady.

[Tom Griswold]

Quite afraid here with me on this. Right, Ace?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you guys have any sense of romance?

[Chick McGee]

I mean, panties hanging on a line. Not. Not particularly romantic. Have you told your lady that?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Or practical.

[Tom Griswold]

She doesn't like. She does not like the use of the word panties.

[Chick McGee]

So you.

[Ace Cosby]

Undies teeth.

[Christy Lee]

So this hasn't worked for you?

[Tom Griswold]

Not much works for me. Let's be honest here, Christy.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay, let's.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm serious, though. I do. Or like a hanging brassiere on the line.

[Chick McGee]

I'm glad you like it. I mean, something imprinted at some point.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it didn't.

[Chick McGee]

On us.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

I just am so surprised. That was kind of standard among real men. I. Okay, well, where's this clothesline?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Outdoors.

[Ace Cosby]

See, but this speaks to my point.

[Tom Griswold]

It's in the laundry room. Got. You know what you're talking washer, dryer, and there's like a.

[Ace Cosby]

If you would. If you would ever take advice. But this. I think this speaks to your larger problem, is that you're. You're convinced that your memories, everything you've experienced, everybody else has experienced.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I'm just trying to share the.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, you're. And you're certain that you like panties on a clothesline?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just trying to help people live a more enlightened life.

[Ace Cosby]

Every man.

[Christy Lee]

My husband just texted and says he prefers them on the floor.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, Andy, Tony.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey. Yeah, hey. There you go. See?

[Ace Cosby]

Anthony.

[Tom Griswold]

No, we had.

[Ace Cosby]

Andrew. We had. Are you sure? All right.

[Tom Griswold]

We had a story yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

I think you're wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

See, this is where we. We differ again. I find nose rings and women pretty offensive. Nose rings belong in pigs. We had a story about some lady who got her nose ring caught in an office chair and had to be evacuated by the fire department. But you guys, you find the nose ring sexy? It can be, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It certainly can be.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know if I find it sexy. I think it's kind of cute in. In certain situations, but I don't. I think that your question should be, do you find it as repulsive as I do? I think is. Is where you're landing on this issue.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's just not my.

[Ace Cosby]

You. You judge. You judge books by covers.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, you do.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's just you have to. Decisions. Why would someone decision.

[Ace Cosby]

You see a nose ring, a certain.

[Tom Griswold]

Type of tattoo, you go, okay, what were they thinking? Is there. Is there.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, there's no doubt people have. Tattoos are filthy.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no. Not all tattoos. I'm just saying. What was the motivation here?

[Ace Cosby]

I have nine tattoos for those of you not.

[Tom Griswold]

But your tattoos are all important. I get it. I'm not being critical of your tattoos.

[Ace Cosby]

Now I'm going to get Tom tattooed on my ass. I've decided that's done.

[Tom Griswold]

He's already there anyway.

[Ace Cosby]

T on one. T on one cheek. M on.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

How about it?

[Tom Griswold]

I would pay for that.

[Ace Cosby]

You would pay for that.

[Tom Griswold]

Just to have the photograph.

[Ace Cosby]

Boy, we get you the photograph. Whether it happens.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. That's tremendous. Lastly, yesterday. This is kind of exciting. The American government is building two new gigantic aircraft carriers. These things. These things take years and years and years to build. But the two new ones President Biden announced, they're going to be named after a couple of his predecessors. There's going to be the USS George W. Bush and the USS William J. Clinton. These are so called Gerald Ford class carriers again. They're going to be starting them soon, which is kind of cool. And we did find out interesting. The Clinton carrier is going to have a cigar store, interestingly enough. Oh, yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

It'll be on the poop deck, but. And is it once again, they're gonna christen it right off of Epstein Island. Wouldn't it have been great if that's where the cigar had gone? So I'm just taking it one step farther.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you tend to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that is so low rent, the cigar and the old. Remember when that came out and. Oh, yeah, a bunch of people on Capitol Hill or it was just like, oh, dear.

[Ace Cosby]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, right now it's time for us to find out what's coming up in sports. You want to give me a little bit of a.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, we got the NFL playoffs. We got the college football championship. We got Bill Belichick. Is that contract signed? Apparently the answer is no. Jim Harbaugh is going to have a couple of procedures in the off season. We'll tell you all about it.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're just joining us, Chick is wearing an NFL jersey, a real one, an official one. Getting ready for the game Saturday evening.

[Ace Cosby]

Number five of Washington, Jaden Daniels. Big game in about four big games this weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

And you have been a Washington Football Club fan since you were a little.

[Ace Cosby]

Kid, since the world was young. 1967.

[Tom Griswold]

And your official pick?

[Ace Cosby]

I have to take Washington and the points. Gots two.

[Tom Griswold]

And is it ten? You said ten.

[Ace Cosby]

Washington plus ten.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

Some big it was nine and the hook and then it turned into ten. You remember betting parlance?

[Tom Griswold]

The hook?

[Ace Cosby]

A 0.5. Yes. A half point. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it's time for us to segue here in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios into the world of sports with Mr. Chick McGee.

[Ace Cosby]

The Los Angeles Chargers 11 win season and they were exited from the playoffs last weekend by the Houston Texans. And head coach Jim Harbaugh made the announcement at his end of the year press conference yesterday. Harbaugh told reporters he'll soon undergo a couple of procedures to treat his irregular heart rhythm. Harbaugh said he has an ablation of the heart that he's going to try to get fixed during the off season. And he said at the same time, in order to save time, he's going to have a hip replacement.

[Christy Lee]

Ah, well, if you're going to go out, might as well.

[Ace Cosby]

He said he. You noticed me walking with a noticeable limp throughout the season. I'm going to get my hip replaced. Titanium, he says. And apparently this is a very successful surgery. I know nothing about it. I know a couple friends that had it done.

[Tom Griswold]

They've got that one down.

[Ace Cosby]

They swear by it.

[Tom Griswold]

They have you up on your feet that day on your new hip, typically.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, that's why that's.

[Tom Griswold]

You have a walking typically. Not all the time. Yeah, a bunch of my friends have had that done.

[Chick McGee]

It's the ablation they've got done, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, I've been there several times.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

They got that down too. And I don't know if they're doing them at the same time. It depends.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, the way I hope it happens is, yes, they're doing them both at the same time.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be awesome.

[Chick McGee]

It's like they're building Robocop.

[Ace Cosby]

That's right. We can make him stronger.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I don't know. I didn't read the article. I don't know if they're just doing the thing where they give you an electric shock to get your back in rhythm or if they're doing something more elaborate.

[Chick McGee]

The ablation itself is where they.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they scrape.

[Chick McGee]

Shave it.

[Ace Cosby]

Shave and scrape. Didn't you have a cow hoof put in your heart? What was it?

[Tom Griswold]

I have a valve made out of cow tissue.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, it could be a hoof.

[Tom Griswold]

It really has.

[Ace Cosby]

Cow hoof is cow tissue. Am I right?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

What's the word?

[Tom Griswold]

It is the warranty under the guy doing great. I. There's been no other weird side effects. I don't think anything is any at all. Is all different. I gotta go milk my left boob right now.

[Ace Cosby]

Some guy out there, finally, they're talking about my fetish.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, gosh, Men.

[Ace Cosby]

Lactating. Oh, my goodness. Okay. And you recall that Bill Belichick some say, and you have a tough time arguing, he could be the best coach in the history of the National Football League. All those Super Bowls, this, that and the other. Well, he agreed to become the next head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels in the world of college football.

[Christy Lee]

Well, now apparently his girlfriend goes there.

[Ace Cosby]

Because Ricardo, whether he would return to the NFL. Those are the questions people are Asking. And they point out, well, he has a buyout clause in the contract with North Carolina. It would cost Belichick or his new employer if he wants to leave from North Carolina. It would cost him $10 million if he terminates his employment with the school before June 1, 2025. However, reports are today that Belichick the contract is not signed. And this opens up a whole new window of problems for North Carolina and possibly opportunities if he wants to go back to the NFL. There's something called an offer sheet that he has signed, but it's not the actual contract. And Tom will tell you the legalese of this will make your head spin, but apparently it is definitely a problem. The term sheet Belichick signed is known officially as a proposal of contract terms and conditions. It begins with a two sentence paragraph. As one NFL source with a legal background put it is consequential to the question of what will or won't be legally enforceable.

[Tom Griswold]

Geez.

[Ace Cosby]

The university. What do you want to hear this? What it says the university proposes to enter into an employment agreement with Bill Belichick to serve as head football coach.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, all right.

[Ace Cosby]

That's the first sentence.

[Tom Griswold]

This isn't the agreement.

[Christy Lee]

They are engaged. They haven't sealed.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace, do you want Mr. Belichick coaching your favorite team in Las Vegas?

[Ace Cosby]

Hell no. Hell no. He says people keep calling him the greatest coach in NFL. He didn't do anything with the Jets. He didn't do anything with the Browns.

[Tom Griswold]

Well.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, he won seven Super Bowls with the Patriots. And I'm a. Terry had a lot to do with that.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I mean. Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. That's often. You know, often people do credit the. Credit the players to a degree. Certainly the players do have a lot to do with it. But a. It's a team effort. Just move on to the next story.

[Chick McGee]

Was he only good with the Patriots?

[Ace Cosby]

Yes.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

Only place he's been in.

[Chick McGee]

It's pretty interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

Many and many a year. But seven is the most Super Bowls for any coach. Am I right?

[Ace Cosby]

Ever. Yeah. And he's closing in on the most wins ever, which would be probably the impetus. Is that a word? If he would want to come back to the NFL, but only with that.

[Chick McGee]

One group of players, not with the other groups of players.

[Ace Cosby]

I think Ace is on to something. I don't be the players. Ace knows what he's talking about.

[Christy Lee]

Brady guy was pretty good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But he would help steer him in the word. Doesn't the word impetus sound like there's something to do with the venereal disease. I'll tell you what, I thought it was. Okay. Then we saw the impetus in the green slime.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, well, green slime is no good. That's infected.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a discharge. Very sad. I'm sorry. What else?

[Ace Cosby]

Sports coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, you want to give me a little bit of a.

[Ace Cosby]

The national championship for college football coming up Monday night. Remember? Remember college football?

[Tom Griswold]

And did you.

[Ace Cosby]

Are you gonna have dragged this out too long, possibly?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think so. Are you gonna make a pick?

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know. I mean, it's gonna be. I'm, I'm. I can't go back to Franklin county if I don't pick the Buckeyes, so. Not that I want to go back to Franklin county, but.

[Tom Griswold]

I see coming up we have maybe.

[Ace Cosby]

Maybe Pat and I could have a arm wrestle. Because you're from Notre Dame. Technically, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

My dad went there. Class of 55.

[Ace Cosby]

Pat's a legacy. There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

Coming up, I think Pat worked on the janitorial. Janitorial staff.

[Chick McGee]

They wouldn't let me even do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have, we have, we have a celebration of National Soup Month. Yay.

[Ace Cosby]

Is it National Soup Month already?

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know.

[Chick McGee]

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, good morning. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance, there's Pat Godwin. Hello. Hi, Pat. There's Josh Arnold. Ace Cosby's here. I'm Chick McGee and Tom. We have a Bob and Tom comedy legend in the studio.

[Tom Griswold]

I look around the room, I see there he is. It's Roy Wood Jr. Hello. Roy's a great stand up comedian. Hi, Roy. How you Been over television host does it all recently in front of some of the most famous politicians in the world.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, that was. That was a day.

[Tom Griswold]

The correspondence dinner was. Did you have to do a lot of. Did you, like, get, like, a month off to prepare for that?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't know. About a month off. It was. That's when I was still working at the Daily Show. They don't give you days off. They, like, do both.

[Ace Cosby]

Like, oh, okay, okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Figure it out. So, yeah, work all day and then go to the comedy clubs at night and then do jokes for an audience that. The correspondence dinner is messed up because you test the jokes on people who will never be in that room.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You still don't know if Lester Holt's gonna laugh at this. What's the. Like, you have to figure out a joke that Lester Holt and Ann Coulter will both enjoy and literally at the same time in front of drunks in Jersey. With respect to Jersey. We love New Jersey.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So. Yeah, but no, that was. That was a good time, man. But, you know, I'm. I'm blessed to just still be working, man.

[Tom Griswold]

We're real proud of you. To get a gig like that. That's. That's. But that had to be rough. Oh, wow.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, that one. That one's weird. And just. I don't know. Politics as a whole is just stressful. Anyway, like. Like, I'm dreading the inauguration just because I know that for a week we're gonna get the text emails from both parties asking for the money and are you ready to fight? Give me the money so I can continue to fight. They were. They were sitting those, like, the day after the election, like, the fight continue. You won. What do you mean it continues or you lost? Why am I giving you money? You just, like, you should. At minimum, you should explain what, like, okay, like, if you're. If you're. If you're sports. When the Skins lose. Right.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

When they used to lose.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Let me be respectful. When they used to lose, they didn't send you an email the day after the season. You want a season ticket package. You want to get.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, actually, under Dan Snyder, they might have done that. Actually, now that I think about it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Fight continues.

[Ace Cosby]

The fight continues.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

When sports teams lose, they go away, and then they come back after a couple months and they go, hey, here's what we think happened. We made some changes. We have new personnel. We went and got two Japanese dudes to help us with the.

[Ace Cosby]

Some of the. Yeah, okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

The Dodgers can't have all the Japanese players We got two of our own.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Will you join us in the fight? And then I will give you money. But to just blindly ask for cash just all the time, right away. I'm not a fan, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. The. My season ticket. I'm waiting for what? They usually send you something, like a nice set of cups or something. And then a couple weeks there. Oh, by the way.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Time to re up.

[Tom Griswold]

Need the big check now.

[Ace Cosby]

Didn't the Raiders. Or did you. I don't know if you got this or not. I didn't get one. Yeah, the box. And you open it up. It's a replica of the stadium.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That was the first year of Vegas.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a gorgeous. I guess I'm guilty of watching an unboxing video because I watched a guy open this up and he was like, yeah, check out what this season ticket holders of the Raiders get. And they. Yeah, it was gorgeous.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now we're speaking with comedian Roy Wood Jr. Roy, your. Your new special, I believe, started earning what at midnight.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

At midnight today.

[Tom Griswold]

So none of us have seen it. Have you seen it? You didn't see it yet?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. Lonely flowers on Hulu. Steal somebody's password.

[Ace Cosby]

Lonely flower.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Disney. Disney asked me not to say that. I'm gonna say it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's good these days, especially for me. I can never find out. You don't know where anything is. So Hulu is the place to go to find Roy.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What's more dangerous on stage? Talking about politics or talking about sports?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

These days I would argue sports because I feel like sports fans will still fight. You like political stuff. Like, people get riled up about politics, but. But sports is different because now I'm insulting your childhood. This is what you and your dad used to do together. Your life's been terrible, and that logo brought you joy. And then I walk on stage and stomp on it and I go, aaron Rodgers doesn't know what the hell he's doing. And now you want to fight me. And a sports fan will wait. That's what they do. Political people. Like, if when I see you again, or you get an email three days later, I better not see you again. A Jets fan will beat your ass.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it yesterday or the day before?

[Ace Cosby]

Top of mind. The Eagles fan was yelling at the Green Bay Packer lady at the Link Lincoln Financial Field, and he was saying horrible things to her. And it went viral. And he's banned for life from the Eagles. And he also lost his job. Job. They fired him.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

He worked in D E. And I yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Ironic.

[Ace Cosby]

That was.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there you are in the dictionary.

[Ace Cosby]

That was a sideline. Yeah. Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

The Yankees. The. The two Yankees guys from the World Series. They caught a band, too.

[Ace Cosby]

I'd never seen anything like that watching sports 50 years.

[Tom Griswold]

These are the guys that grabbed the glove and pulled the.

[Ace Cosby]

And I'm gonna use the word wrench. They tried to wrench the glove off of.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

When asked about it, said, yeah, that's what we do.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Right.

[Ace Cosby]

We've been practicing it and we knew what we were gonna do when it happened.

[Chick McGee]

Totally premeditated.

[Ace Cosby]

Ready to go. You think when they're at the end. Okay, now remember what we're doing. If the ball comes over here.

[Tom Griswold]

What's at the root of this? Is this all the. The Internet and having that moment that you can post.

[Ace Cosby]

I guess. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now, we should explain that you. Chick rarely wears a jersey in studio, but it's because of your favorite team.

[Ace Cosby]

They're in the divisional. They're the final eight. Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

The commanders. Now, Chick has made his picks. Roy.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, I have Roy.

[Tom Griswold]

And I know you are, of course, a Dolphins fan.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. So don't talk to me about playoffs.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just gonna say. So you got a lot of free time.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Turn my attention to Cubs preseason catches report.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know if we get a picture of the Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel. Mike McDaniel. He is without a doubt the coolest NFL head coach. He's got the latest Air Jordans. He's got some sweatpants.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

He looks like a bitcoin scammer.

[Chick McGee]

They're usually dressed pretty relaxed.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

He just looks like a guy. Oh, I trust him. Yes. You can have all of my passwords.

[Ace Cosby]

And he puts a lot of product in his hair and. Yeah, I'm. There he is. Yeah, he's kind of dreamy. Can we find a sweatpants shot that they're like. Roy's right tight joggers.

[Chick McGee]

If you find out that guy had 25% in Fire island, you wouldn't like fyre fest. You wouldn't be.

[Ace Cosby]

I like Washington, plus the 10 in Detroit. I think the Lions are going to win. They're just too big a train. But I think Washington. But they better not hurt my little baby Jaden. I can tell you that right now, Mr. Daniels. My little baby Jaden. I like the Eagles minus the six at the Rams. Although the Rams and that defensive front, those guys are. I don't. I don't. I'm not real confident on that pick. I'm not confident on any of these. I like Houston plus the 8 at Kansas City only because all the Chiefs wins or seems like three or five points. And I like the big game of the weekend in Buffalo. Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen going against each of the Bills and the Ravens. Tom, Buffalo a home underdog. They're getting a point against the Ravens.

[Tom Griswold]

And your choice.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm taking Buffalo plus the point.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm thinking a late. A last minute field.

[Christy Lee]

Go. Josh Allen.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

If he wins, they're going to give him mvp.

[Ace Cosby]

They were going to give him mvp.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Whoever wins this game gets mvp.

[Ace Cosby]

But they say that the playoffs don't matter in the mvp. Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Why would that be?

[Ace Cosby]

They've always said it's on the regular season.

[Tom Griswold]

It makes no sense.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm just telling you what they say, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, who are they?

[Ace Cosby]

The people that like. Yeah, yeah, check out the joggers.

[Tom Griswold]

No, there. We should explain.

[Ace Cosby]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

They're. They're kind of like. What are those things called? Clam diggers. The pants that are like cropped.

[Christy Lee]

They're cropped.

[Tom Griswold]

They're like a foot off the ground.

[Ace Cosby]

And those, those Air Force One, I think those are. Notice that he has a little tag on it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That little red tag hanging off action there.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, that's. Those are two thousand dollar sneaks.

[Christy Lee]

Don't take this the wrong way, but he looks like the guy the football players would have beaten up in ice.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, I think he might be on.

[Christy Lee]

Seriously.

[Tom Griswold]

He does look. He does look kind of front office. Yeah, like dad owns a team.

[Chick McGee]

Is he under 45? Is he younger?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, way under 45. I don't know if he's 40.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa.

[Christy Lee]

He and the coach for Notre Dame. That guy looks like he's 12.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, Marcus Freeman.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yeah. You got national championship pick yet?

[Ace Cosby]

I would never be able to go home in Franklin County, Columbus, Ohio, without picking the Ohio State Buckeyes. Minus the seven. I have to. I got to. I might have business someday in Columbus. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, we are here talking a little bit of sports. Coming up, we're going to find out what's going on in the life of Roy Wood Jr. The man behind the new Hulu Special.

[Ace Cosby]

And he also has an HBO show.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes, we can talk about that later.

[Ace Cosby]

All right. Okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Politics.

[Tom Griswold]

The. The focus is. No, give me the name again.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Of the lonely flowers.

[Tom Griswold]

Lonely flowers we're all beautiful people and.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Alone when we need to come together like a bouquet this special is about connection.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I like that.

[Ace Cosby]

That's gorgeous. I don't Believe a word of it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I know you. Okay, well, it's about loneliness. The whole thing is about loneliness, not.

[Tom Griswold]

About all these things.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Chick Magee. Coming up, we're going to talk with Roy. We've also got some interesting things coming up in the world of news. I have an update on the USS Clinton. The, the aircraft carrier that they're going to start to build pretty soon. They're going to build that one and the George W. Bush aircraft carrier.

[Christy Lee]

There's a George H. Bush aircraft carrier.

[Tom Griswold]

As well already, but they're, they're building some new ones.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Billions of dollars for beautiful ships. And they always call them she. And in these various press releases, she will be done by a certain day. Do you find that. Is that okay with you, Chris? Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Just a tradition.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I'm all boats. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It seems a little odd to me.

[Christy Lee]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I.

[Ace Cosby]

They don't assign a gender to any, do they? We'll have to look it up if there's a him or a he or.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's she.

[Ace Cosby]

She is very common, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Well, all vehicles, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I call my car a girl. I always said that. I've always.

[Tom Griswold]

Really.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But I mean, and, and the fact that the government is issuing the. This, this press materials and it has that gender identification of a ship. I think it's kind of what if.

[Chick McGee]

You drive a Trans Am?

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, a perfect question.

[Ace Cosby]

Thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

We'll answer that when we come it.

[Tom Griswold]

I he. I don't know. That's a very controversial. You have two cars, you have two trans AMs. No, no. It's very, very complicated. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy and Pat and Josh Ace. I'm Chicken Rick. Go Washington. Hello, Tom. Hello, Chick McGee, introduce our special guest, will you?

[Tom Griswold]

Of course, I'm happy to. I'm just doing a little homework over here we have a comedian, Roy Wood Jr. Joining us, veteran stand up comedian, now a television guy and television guy, he's got a bunch of different hats that he wears on TV and he's a, he's a property.

[Ace Cosby]

I think he's, he's a sought after property. That's a nice, somebody wants to be in the Roy Wood Jr business.

[Tom Griswold]

Except it's not Roy, which is weird.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, I would, I would imagine that that only helps. The more distant he acts, the more they want him, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Roy Wood Jr. S new special is on Hulu. It just debuted a few hours ago. It's called Lonely Flowers. We're going to talk to Roy in a matter of moments. But I was doing some homework during the break break on, well, I was talking, I just, I'm fascinated by the, these beautiful ships that are all over the world. But the United States, of course, has these incredible aircraft carriers.

[Ace Cosby]

These instruments of death. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm glad they're out there.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Thank you.

[Christy Lee]

They protect you.

[Tom Griswold]

But knowing that it's there keeps the bad guys from going away. I think, I think we're gonna screw around with this country. Oh, wait a minute. You mean they've got planes on there that can annihilate us?

[Ace Cosby]

Am I being a pinko pansy? Yeah, I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, there are gonna be these two aircraft carriers named and they tend to name them after recent presidents. As a matter of fact, they have.

[Ace Cosby]

To have really cool nicknames because you, you know, the way they armed for. They have great nicknames for everybody. So it's gotta be like the Billy or the G Dub or something like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Could be. Could be. In any event, there is the USS Bill Clinton, and there's also gonna be the George W. Bush. There already is an H.W. bush. Bush.

[Ace Cosby]

Why isn't there Herbert Hoover or the Coolidge?

[Tom Griswold]

There probably has, but I googled this. This is really interesting. The first ship named Clinton was the USS Clinton, a Haskell class attack transport in the United States Navy in 1945.

[Chick McGee]

Haskell class. Oh, that sure is a beautiful airship, Mrs. Cleaver.

[Tom Griswold]

That little Eddie Haskell.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It sure is a wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

But the original Clinton in the United States Navy. This is true. Was used as a target in 1984 for target practice, and they sank it, which means that, by the way, there was no one on board. So technically, Monica Lewinsky is still the only one to go down on a Clinton, which I think is very appropriate.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, that's a long way to go.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we have Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk. And once again, Roy's new special is called Lonely Flowers. And Roy, you're talking about your family. I gather.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You got me obsessed with this. Now, Andrew Johnson has no Navy vessel named after him, which I think is fair, because if you're on the money, you don't get a ship. Or am I thinking about Andrew Jackson and I don't know. Listen, I worked at the Daily show eight years. They got no these things. Obama has nothing either. So, like, it's. It's weird. George Washington had eight ships. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Eight.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. I mean, to be fair, he was the first president. It was like no other guy to name stuff after you. Well, we got another ship. Well, I.

[Tom Griswold]

Most of them.

[Christy Lee]

Washington.

[Tom Griswold]

Most of them made of wood, like his teeth.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

8.

[Chick McGee]

And Obama has not.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, don't give him a submarine or something. They're not gonna give him an aircraft here.

[Chick McGee]

But does he swim?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

A fair joke.

[Ace Cosby]

Hang on a second. Wait a minute, hang on. Okay, I wanna.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, I can answer that.

[Chick McGee]

You can answer if President Obama.

[Tom Griswold]

I can. He has to be able to.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, because he graduated from the college.

[Tom Griswold]

He went to, you have to be able to swim to graduate. I know, because I went there.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, that's a. I didn't know Obama went to Columbia.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he?

[Ace Cosby]

I didn't. I missed that.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Yeah, it's a weird thing, but at the college I went to. I'm totally serious. You had to be able to swim to graduate.

[Ace Cosby]

Let me Ask you. Wow. When you were at Columbia and before you had a grade and you didn't have your swimming certificate or whatever you want to call it, did you think of a way to fake it so you could graduate?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I know how to swim.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, I'm just asking. It seems like something that you'd try to skirt the rules on to be.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That you report to the gym and that they.

[Chick McGee]

Did you have a lot of classmates who were like, I. I've never done this.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

And they were like, nervous about it.

[Tom Griswold]

See, you're in New York City. Sure, sure.

[Chick McGee]

But a lot of New Yorkers go to Columbia. It wasn't mostly transplants.

[Tom Griswold]

I know there are people from all over the place. But my one friend lived next door to me senior year. He did not know how to swim. He was from Queens, and so he had to take swimming lessons.

[Christy Lee]

You say, did they offer lessons?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Get your ass in that water and get to the other. Figure it out.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like, it's the same thing.

[Ace Cosby]

There are a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

There are a lot of. A lot of people that grow up in New York City especially don't know how to drive.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, sure, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No license.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

My brother.

[Ace Cosby]

Was there a pool on campus?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Was there a swim team?

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good. I don't. I don't think so.

[Ace Cosby]

Columbia is not big on competitions on the field of athletics, are they?

[Tom Griswold]

We happen to win the defensing championship.

[Chick McGee]

We didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

And we were favored by 10 points.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Super bowl offensive sword competition.

[Tom Griswold]

As for there not being a ship named after Obama, I wonder if there's a certain waiting period because they just did the George W. They just did George W. And they just did Clinton.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And they're going in order.

[Ace Cosby]

What about Carter? What about Ford? What about. There's no Nixon. It's got to be a Nixon.

[Tom Griswold]

The Ford is the class of. It's. That's. The entire class of aircraft carriers were called the Gerald R. Ford. Yeah. Seriously. I'm not. Oh. Oh.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's what I came from. I thought it came from like Henry Ford or something.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah. I thought Ford made him. Made him like they. They make.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no, I don't know much. I'm just. This is. All I know is what I'm reading in this article.

[Ace Cosby]

An escort on one line and a plane on the other line.

[Tom Griswold]

And I don't know if. I don't know if there is a Nixon ship.

[Christy Lee]

I could look this all up.

[Tom Griswold]

I am not a doc.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So my son is obsessed with aviation. I Didn't know this. Henry Ford tried to make airplanes for a while. There were Ford airplanes. A quick minute.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And then the depression happened and he had to fall back and just focus on cars again because the market had gotten weird. And then that's how Bowen and McDonald Douglas like gotten again.

[Tom Griswold]

How old's your son now?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

He's eight now. Man. We went. We went to space camp down in Huntsville. Shout out to Space Camp.

[Ace Cosby]

Camp, awesome.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Where you spend the night and you do the whole astronaut training and stuff. And then the more I thought about it after I paid money and then you sleep in the actual. Like they have like barracks or whatever. And it's great for an eight year old, I bet. I'm 46. My spine is. There are better mattresses in jail. And that's not a joke because I've been to both places.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you and Pat have something in common.

[Chick McGee]

What do you think? Uncomfortable. I'd like to see that Venn diagram of people who've been to space camp and jail.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It's a three inch mattress with that weird. No urine can get through. What's the Billy Mays commercial where the guy floating on a screen door.

[Chick McGee]

Flex seal.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Flex seal. So Flex seal, it's a mattress coated in Flex seal. And then you just wake up every day and for like 14 hours you walk around this beautiful campus and they teach you everything there is to know about space travel and blah blah, blah. And then at the end of it, we're riding back to Birmingham to my mama's house and I'm going, there's no space shuttle. Like, where are you? Like what? Like the. The waiting list for astronauts to do it. Like astronaut is a job. You train and then they go, you are an astronaut. Great. When do I get to do it? We do not know.

[Ace Cosby]

Maybe never.

[Tom Griswold]

Seriously.

[Ace Cosby]

Right?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Or you are an astronaut and then you get to go up there and then you're stuck.

[Ace Cosby]

Like those two that are up there.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

There's not enough conversation about the fact right now that there's two people stuck in space and they don't have an aircraft capable enough to go and get them. And we act like it's cool because, oh, they're on a space station. There's other people up there. They have. Just cause I have friends does not mean that I'm not stranded.

[Tom Griswold]

She. She did a spacewalk a couple days ago.

[Chick McGee]

Gotta get out of the capital.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

If I don't leave this capsule, I'm going to kill you.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I'm gonna go have a smoke.

[Christy Lee]

Gerald Ford by The way does have an aircraft carrier.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, it's the USS Clumsy. Right?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the latest. Here we go. The latest line of US Carries named after Gerald R. Ford. There's a John F. Kennedy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Aircraft carrier.

[Ace Cosby]

Anyway, yeah, they plugged that leak in. The John F. Kennedy, and they have a hole in that.

[Christy Lee]

We have any aircraft.

[Ace Cosby]

Thank you very much.

[Christy Lee]

Named after women, huh?

[Ace Cosby]

Ironically, the John F. Kennedy is referred to as a her. Isn't that interesting?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're all referred to as they. And I'm not kidding. They. This press release, they say she will be done by.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. That's all. I mean, that's been.

[Tom Griswold]

That's just. I have. I have a friend that's a maritime lawyer, and he. He'll be going, yeah, I've got a fly to so and so. And then, you know, the she went bound, blah, blah, blah. And it's. It's always the she.

[Ace Cosby]

Ladies and gentlemen. What Tom just said was, I have a friend who's a maritime lawyer.

[Tom Griswold]

I do.

[Ace Cosby]

Henry Billingsley is a maritime.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Bill Easley and I have a feud. And I didn't even know it started, but, by gosh, I'm gonna finish it.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, fine. Oh, really?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Y.

[Ace Cosby]

He looked at me, and it talked to me for 10 seconds. He goes, well, I would never pick you for a jury. Kiss my ass, Billingsley. How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a second. Let's be realistic. If you were a lawyer, would you pick you for a jury?

[Ace Cosby]

God, no. No, I don't think I take it seriously. That would be a big problem.

[Tom Griswold]

We're ignoring our guests. Have you noticed that we're hanging out with comedian Roy Wood Jr. And I have not seen your special. It's called Lonely Flowers on Hulu. It just debuted, so you got to check it out this weekend. And I don't know. I haven't seen it, so I don't know much about it. But I did hear you talking briefly in another interview recently, and you picked up a topic that we've been talking about a lot, which is. I mentioned this earlier. For example, I had an aunt that was kind of lonely, and she would go out shopping, and she'd go, I've got to go buy a new lamp. And she'd be gone all day. So she could go to 10 different stores so she could talk to human beings. Yeah, and I heard you. I just heard you briefly mention the. The. What do they call it? The self checkout.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Not a fan. Not a fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Not a fan.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

We really Underestimated how much small talk plays a role in keeping crazy people calm.

[Tom Griswold]

You are just. You're so right about that.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Look, I'm just saying, man, like the retail. When retail start. The degradation of retail in this country was the, the beginning of disconnection in our society. The idea of just. Hey, how you doing? How's it going? Your. Your waitress has twice the tables and has no time. I, I miss. Just a regular southern way. Well, how you doing? Oh, the catfish. Well, let me tell you about the catfish. It's like that's gone. And now the only time you see a employee is when you do self checkout wrong. You want an employee to appear, make a mistake, and then the self checkout machine shoots a flare up to let everybody know you're stupid. And then the beacon light goes off. You don't know. Please step aside. Wait for an associate, you moron. And then the employee appears out of nowhere and then they're rude to you because you don't know how to do their job.

[Ace Cosby]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You scanned it wrong. That's the QR code. That ain't the barcode. Get out the way. It's not my fault, man. I don't, I don't like that. I, I really, I like. I joke about it, but I really do feel like having that friend. When you were in the store and this is my section. Let me know if you want to try on anything. And that's. It's gone. It is a ghost town. And if you are somebody who is disconnected and a lot of people in this country live alone, they ain't got no. And that cashier might have been the one person out. Look, I'm not. I'm the only. Am I the only person that felt like I liked it when the cashier would comment on my groceries as they came down the belt.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, look what you're having for.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Ooh, I like this flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe they should program. Could they program the machines to do that?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It's coming. I'm sure when you have your AI cashier bot that's going to be there in another two, three years, it'll probably.

[Tom Griswold]

Remind you of what. Hey, you probably are out of ketchup.

[Chick McGee]

You bought it six weeks ago.

[Christy Lee]

Amazon does it.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone's having a party tonight.

[Chick McGee]

I had a cashier one time. I was. It was. I was trying a new health kick, and so she scanned the celery and she scanned the salad mix and she scanned the radishes and she looked at me. She goes trying something different.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Geez.

[Chick McGee]

And she didn't know me, I'd never seen her.

[Ace Cosby]

Good old fashioned folksy conversation.

[Tom Griswold]

That's fantastic.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Gotta throw an oatmeal cream pie on the bill, Couple boxes of Little Debbies.

[Tom Griswold]

You know you're joking. But there is a profound statement in there, which is, I can just remember my aunt. She'd be gone all day and she'd go to 10 different places and come back with nothing. And it was all about just talking to people.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

There are very few places where you still get that. My son is. We talked about the planes. So we go get the diecast model planes and we go to hobby shops. And the people who work in hobby shops have not left that building since 1983. They live there. And the. The attention to detail and conversation about the craft and what you're doing like that I just love. Like that. I still love. And I still like buying condoms from gas stations.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Because there's no self checkout at a gas station. Like when you get. And like condoms, you have to ask for them. Most of the time they're back there. Like, yeah, give me.

[Christy Lee]

We have a story about that and.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Then the guy brings them over. Oh, yeah, man. Like every now and then when you buy condoms at a gas station, the cashier, especially if it's a male cashier, will just give you kind of a. Like a thumbs up. Good luck, soldier. That makes you feel good.

[Tom Griswold]

We're talking with Roy Wood Jr. Roy Wood Jr. Is a longtime friend of the show show and his newest specialist.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Get the condoms. Get the Vicks Vapor Rub.

[Tom Griswold]

The special is called Lonely Flowers. It's on Hulu and thank God it's politics free. It's time to get rid of it and just. Just talk about life.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I've done enough of that. Yeah, just talk about why everybody's lonely and sad. You know, fun stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

To your point, about waiters and waitresses. You'd love having lunch with me. I just gesture. I never look at the menu now. Now I just ask the waiter or waitress. That way at least you get a conversation going. Hey, what's good here? It just. It's much more, much more fun, you.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Know, an easy conversation. Ask them what to not get. Yeah, they can't wait to tell you.

[Tom Griswold]

You are so right. Yeah, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

They will just tell you straight up, baby, don't get that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you don't like cats, don't get the meatballs.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay?

[Tom Griswold]

We're gonna find out what else is on Roy's mind. Maybe catch up with being a dad and what's going on in your life. Also, a couple of sporting stories. We also have condoms in the news of all things and even astronaut news. Coming up. Once again, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. We're all here with a special guest, Tom, one of the Bob and Tom comedy legends. We've known him for decades.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. He is a comedian. Roy Wood Jr.

[Ace Cosby]

He's old. Old if you know how old this guy is, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Roy, Roy is, Roy is the father of a, an 8 year old. So something of an older dad, I guess.

[Ace Cosby]

Roy did these videos with his son. I'm not sure how long ago when he would pandemic, during the pandemic he put him up where his son would wreck his toy car Stars and Roy acted like he was the ran the repair shop and he was. So you go see what was the.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, the Lego axle ain't looking good. We're gonna have to replace that and replace the Lego axle. May as well get in there and get that other view down.

[Ace Cosby]

This is gonna. Now you're, you're laboring everything at 3, 800 now you go see Sheila, she'll take care of it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I would give him an invoice and send them up front to his mom.

[Christy Lee]

What's it like to raise a boy.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

In New York City as a Southerner from Alabama?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't know what I'm doing. All I know is go outside and do stuff. But in New York, outside is kind of weird to say the least. Like, like the difference between the south and like New York is that in Birmingham you have every single thing. Like I spent every summer in Mississippi in Clarkston. So, so you have crime, you have homelessness, you have traffic, you have a park. But they are all in sections of the city. New York, it's all on Top of each other. So the idea of, like, even taking my son outside to just go to the park, it's a destination. He can't just say, I'm gonna be outside. One of the. One of the dopest things, when I take my son home to my mom's house in Alabama, he can just, hey, I'm going up the street. Great. Go discover stuff. Go get chased by a dog. Get two mosquito bites and skin your knee and come back in and eat pizza. That's what life should be. But, you know, he's definitely. You're forced to grow up faster in the city, too, like. Cause you just. Your head's on a swivel. You don't know what the hell is going on. And then the cab driver's cussing at somebody like. Like, it's just. It's. It's literal chaos. But he loves it because that's all he knows.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

How's your mom doing?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

My mom's okay. She's still working. Like, she's. She's never gonna retire. I got my mom. I got her a dryer for. For Christmas. And I shouldn't have because it's one of the new dryers. And I don't know, like, for reference, my Mom's dryer was 20 years old. The last dryer. Perfectly fine dryer. But I wanna update the dryer. Well, now, she went from her dryer with two knobs to a dryer that has 48 settings. You gotta talk to it through an app. You can't even just turn your dryer on. Go to your phone and check the clothing temperature. And now her complaint is that the clothes are too moist because the new dryers. Because Save the Earth, they don't dry them.

[Tom Griswold]

We've been talking about this for years.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Old dryers, your clothes would be well done. And they would be sizzling.

[Tom Griswold]

Like.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Burn yourself on your jeans.

[Tom Griswold]

That buckle's hot.

[Christy Lee]

Have that button imprint on your hand.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And she. And so her biggest complaint. And there's nothing we can do to fix it out of every. Everything with this dryer. That's beautiful. And technologically advanced. Is that it? She doesn't know when the clothes are done.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Because, you know, the new dryers are very.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

When they're done. When the clothes are done. It's just. And my mom's old dryer was like a NBA buzzer beater. Your clothes would dry in the middle of the night. You think you're getting subbed into the game. Check it in.

[Tom Griswold]

Two.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Two for the home team.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely true.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So I've spent the last two weeks on YouTube trying to Google how to turn up chime on dryer and that does not exist. Yeah, it doesn't exist.

[Tom Griswold]

And if it does, even if it's an American made dryer, there'll be some guy from Japan telling. It's amazing that whenever you Google stuff like that. I just had to do a thing last weekend about changing the oil and it was some guy from South America talking about it. What? It's just amazing the guys that are out there telling you what to do, but you can usually find everything.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, I just don't like the fact that all of this technology is too connected. It's like we're disconnected as people, but all of our devices know each other. I got a text from my refrigerator.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah. Oh yeah, go.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, my water filter, man. It ain't time for the water filter. And hey man, hate to bother you, but. And it's midnight. Why am I getting a text from my fridge at midnight? And then the girl I'm with is like, who texting your phone? It's my refrigerator. Oh, is that how she saved in your phone? She must be a big girl.

[Ace Cosby]

Call her the fridge.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't mind them big, but. No, it's really my fridge.

[Tom Griswold]

But your point is well taken. We're all disconnected, but everything electronic isn't. That's great. Roy Wood Jr. Is our guest and that's just one of the themes he talks about in his new special called Lonely Flowers and it's on Hulu and it was just. Just made its premiere, I guess at midnight.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, well, tomorrow it. It dropped at 3am Eastern.

[Tom Griswold]

I hate that. I don't like that phrase. Roy just back in my day when something was dropped. Well, he got dropped from the team. Now it's, it's.

[Ace Cosby]

It was released.

[Tom Griswold]

It was that hipster talk everyone wants to be. Oh, they're dropping their new.

[Chick McGee]

We just got a genuine. Back in my day.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That was a real.

[Ace Cosby]

We were dropped. You're cut from the team is how I know.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Album dropping, my album dropping.

[Tom Griswold]

Everyone's just trying to be too hip. That's. That's. That's what that's all about.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that what that's all about?

[Chick McGee]

The world is a scary place.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

There.

[Ace Cosby]

Lots of stuff going on.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking. Speaking of hip, Roy Wood Jr. Is obviously the son of Roy Wood Senior and he's talked about his dad. His father was a very distinguished newsman in a bunch of places including Chicago at the height of the civil rights movement, he knew all the key players. And you've told a great story about your dad discovering a guy that was, I think, the epitome of hip there for a while. Your dad discovered a cop who pulled him over, as I recall. And it turned out you're. I think your dad said something like, you'd be good on the radio.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. You have a great voice for radio. And the cop is like, whatever sign for this ticket.

[Tom Griswold]

And who was that cop?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Don Cornelius.

[Tom Griswold]

Don Cornelius of Soul Train?

[Ace Cosby]

Peace, Love and Soul.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. My father was the one that kind of was like, hey, you should get in media. Stop writing tickets to black people. And Don got into it. And then eventually, on that path as a news reporter for wvon, ended up, like, doing the pilot for Soul Train, to which my father. Brother was one of the people who gave Don Canadian some of the front money to make Soul Train the first episode happen. And then, of course, you try to sell it. Couldn't sell it. And my dad is impatient and wanted his money back. And it was like.

[Ace Cosby]

And Don kept telling him, hey, wait a while. Be patient. Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Hey, man, I know you want you. It's dunking it. Dig this, Roy Trainer. Soul is gonna be rolling out the station soon enough, but just trust me on that. And my dad is frantic. He goes, I want my money. I don't care. Dig this, Roy. What if I made you a producer for the rest of your life? To which my father told Don Cornelius, and this is a true story. He told Don Cornelius, and I quote, nobody wants to watch black people dance for an hour. It's a terrible idea. Idea. It won't work. Give me my money before I have to beat you up.

[Ace Cosby]

Uhhuh.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And Don eventually gave my dad his money back. My father signed away any rights or any attachment to the Soul Train empire. And I was not allowed to watch Soul Train, which I actually respect my father for, because that's some real. You supposed to be a. You supposed to be mad?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You threw away bitcoin when it was two pennies. You should be mad about that. Yeah, that's. That's what happened, man. You gotta trust people. But to my dad's credit, you also have to remember, my father covered the Vietnam War, South African riots, African civil wars, the civil rights, like, every pain, struggle, gun, somebody getting shot at or beat on. That's all he covered. He never covered good news. He never covered. Covered sports. Just terrible stuff. And then some ex cop comes into your office going, hey, what if we did something like dick clocks. Get your ass out my office. We in the struggle right now. Hey, Roy. Heard what happened to you yesterday at the rides. Listen, I got a show I need a thousand dollars.

[Tom Griswold]

For.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

What do black people be dancing? You just need an escape from all of this pain and ass whoopings.

[Tom Griswold]

Our guest is Roy Wood Jr. And I. I bet Roy Wood Senior would be very proud of you, Roy. You're bringing up topics people need to talk about in a very funny way. And I should mention again, Roy's special is called Lonely Flowers. We'll find out why in just a few minutes when we come back. Right now we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show Show.

[Tom Griswold]

So a couple of days when his daughter moves back in. The last time you walked out that door, you look back at me and gave me a double bird.

[Chick McGee]

I was 18. The double bird was how I ended all our conversations.

[Tom Griswold]

The wheels come off.

[Ace Cosby]

Can we try to talk to each.

[Chick McGee]

Other like rational adults?

[Tom Griswold]

Have you watch the news lately? That's not a thing anymore. New Wednesdays, 87 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Hey, Chick.

[Ace Cosby]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Chick McGee]

Hi, Chick.

The I hate Stephen Singer sidekick. Chicken New year.

[Chick McGee]

[Ace Cosby]

There'S Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee. Go Washington. And here's Tom Griswolder. We have a special treat for Roy Wood Jr. I think Roy is our special guest.

[Tom Griswold]

Roy is our guest. Roy's a great comedian and television host. He's got a lot of hats that he wears, especially hats for the Chicago Cubs. And we'll get to Roy in just a second. I want to point out that chick McGee, longtime fan of the Washington football clubs, if you will.

[Ace Cosby]

Ever since I was a baby.

[Tom Griswold]

1967, when they became the Commanders, they kept the color scheme. And Chick is currently wearing a jersey for the contemporary Washington Commanders. Number five. Mr. Daniels.

[Ace Cosby]

Mr. And what. What's Mr. Daniels first name.

[Tom Griswold]

Aloy Jaden.

[Ace Cosby]

As much passion as I have for the Washington football team, my preferred name, I know that Roy Wood Jr. Has that much passion for the Chicago Cubs.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know if Tom knows this or not, but you have a very special piece of clothing that you wear. Your spirit wear, if you will.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, the victory robe.

[Tom Griswold]

The victory robe.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Ace Cosby]

It's got a nice, nice C on the robe.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It's a bathrobe that. It's a, A, it's a. It's, it's. It's the Cubs home jersey as a full terry cloth bathrobe. I wore it to game seven, Cubs, Indians. The Cubs won, got the World Series championship. So I've dubbed it the victory robe ever since.

[Ace Cosby]

And you've thrown out the pitch at Wrigley a couple times. I want to say.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Is that right in that robe? And that was a miscalculation. Chicago in July is not terry cloth. Super thick bathrobe weather chick. I was sweating through my jeans.

[Christy Lee]

At least you were wearing bands.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Were you nervous at all the first pitch? Yeah. They don't let you practice. They just hand you the ball and go do it. I don't get to warm up. I don't get to go in the bullpen or nothing. And then you two hop it to the plate and the Internet laughs.

[Christy Lee]

Were you on the mound, though?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, I did. I didn't own a mound.

[Christy Lee]

All right, well, that's big.

[Tom Griswold]

That's hard.

[Christy Lee]

That is hard.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm a man.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you want to stand on the mound.

[Christy Lee]

That's because I did it at the Reds game, but they put me like halfway to the late.

[Tom Griswold]

How'd you do it?

[Christy Lee]

And I'm a girl. I did okay.

[Ace Cosby]

I, I did it, but not from the mound. That was the hint that somebody gave me and I said, okay, so I'll go down there. And I. I nailed it, though.

[Christy Lee]

Good for you.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

They don't like it though, when you go on the mound.

[Ace Cosby]

No, they don't.

[Tom Griswold]

They should have a batter up there. So then the possibility exists that you could get 110 mile ball coming.

[Ace Cosby]

What they call those? A comebacker.

[Tom Griswold]

Sadly. Comedian Roy would you only the second man to die in a field following Ray Chapman from the Roy.

[Ace Cosby]

But 44 years after putting away their powder blues, the Chicago Cubs are bringing that color back in 2025. The Cubs. He's very excited. The new powder blue alternate uniform. A design combining post team logos with a musical tribute. Tribute. Tribute to the world of the blues in Chicago. And I think if, if we look up on the screen, there they are.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, that's nice. That's nice.

[Christy Lee]

I do like that.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Now, that's not the one I was thinking. There's another one. There's another baby blue uniform they used to have that had the Cubby Bear integrated into the word Chicago.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's nice. I Listen, you need alternate jerseys. That's one of the biggest inventions and improvements to sports.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Probably the last two decades is alternate jerseys because it keeps you excited about.

[Tom Griswold]

Teams that disappoint you and raises money.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes, my team sucks. So. But at least I have this new color scheme. Like, oh, this looks very nice. I appreciate that.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a question. Last year there was a lot of controversy about the structure on the design and the, the, of the, of the newer uniforms. Players hated them.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yeah, they went back.

[Tom Griswold]

Have they, have they dropped them?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, they're going to correct it.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, they've corrected it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It was Nike. Nike was charged with making the new uniforms last year. And whatever it was, it wasn't a breathable enough fabric. And the players were literally after two innings, soaked in sweat to the point where the jersey looks a different color. It looks like some chameleon camel. You know that flip flop paint. You know, when you in the hood chick, you see the, it's red and then at another angle it's maroon like that.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, you know what they were doing and they were some of the players, I don't know who started it, but they went back to the majestic uniforms. Sporting goods. Majestic. And they went back to those and not telling Nike. And that's when Nike lost their mind. Okay, we'll. We'll have to do something about this. So.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, because I think Nike has the contract for the next decade.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

To make the uniform.

[Ace Cosby]

And they spent big bucks, as you might imagine, to make the official uniform supplier.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Can I ask my dumbest question?

[Ace Cosby]

Sure, go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

Roy, you do a lot of television. You did the Daily show for a long time. You're on TV still. Are you ever told you can't wear specific logos? Can you wear. Even though if your shoes aren't showing, can you wear a brand of shoes or they tell you you have to wear these or do you have a shoe deal?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

The only time they trip is espn. Depending on the capacity in which I'm appearing. You can't wear like your team because as a sports journalist, I do not have a favorite team. I'm here to report the facts. Meanwhile, MLB Network, I'm in a full Cubs robe. They're like, please wear it. Did you bring it? Please put it. No, no, I don't. I don't think I've ever had dress code. The only time people trip is when you're doing, like, a regular TV show, because then they don't want to give anybody free advertising. Or, like. I remember I did an episode of Only Murders in the Building in season one.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember that.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And the character had on a Yankees hat. And it was originally like the traditional white Yankee. And we shot the scene, and then there was some whisper. Yeah. We got to reshoot the scene, put this hat on instead. And it was just like a blank black hat.

[Ace Cosby]

Huh.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So whatever clearances they needed to get from whoever did not come through. But if you see a logo in a TV show, somebody paid.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Or there is some sort of swapping or something going on. But, like, for just regular news stuff, like, I mean, they'll look at you weird if you. You just, like. If I. If I'm on CNN on a Friday night to argue about the government and I wore jogging pants, they'd be like, interesting choice. Would have rather a collared shirt, bro. And then walking in there like Mike McDaniel from the Dolphins, my joggers pushed.

[Tom Griswold]

Up like LL Cool J in the world of sports.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

The old ass reference.

[Ace Cosby]

Do you remember, Tom, when we were kids, that you could not find any sort of merchandise whatsoever for any sporting team?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I came back from Germany when I was in high school, and I picked up an Adidas bag. Gym bag.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And people went berserk because you couldn't get anything.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh. You had to order it. Like, imagine being a Cubs fan in Alabama in the 80s. There was a store in Century Plaza called Sports Fantasy, and that was the only place in the city where you could get out of town like the Blue Jays. Oh, my God.

[Ace Cosby]

I remember going through the Sears catalog. Oh, yes. Yeah. Sears had a pretty good selection.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Ace Cosby]

Sears?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Chris, the catalog would.

[Ace Cosby]

The Wish book.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Excuse me. The catalog would be released.

[Chick McGee]

It was that thick.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You'd go through there and you'd circle each thing you want. You'd fold that page and give it to your mama. You didn't know that she was two months behind on her rent.

[Tom Griswold]

She came.

[Ace Cosby]

Sports gear in the women's garments.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

We were a JCPenney family. We had the JCPenney catalog.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

A lot of lingerie in the JCP.

[Tom Griswold]

Real quick, some sad news from the world of baseball. One of the great voices of comedy and. And just. Just a Terrific guy. Bob Euchre has died at the age what? 90.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

90.

[Ace Cosby]

90. Just short of 90.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they probably, he'd probably say something like, yeah, they paid me not to wear their stuff.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And he was in the booth. He, he worked last season.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he did.

[Ace Cosby]

Brewers. Yeah, I sure did.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Yeah, he was great. And he was on the Tonight show all the time.

[Christy Lee]

He was in major league in the.

[Tom Griswold]

In the Johnny Carson era.

[Ace Cosby]

Just a bit outside, Mr. Belvedere crossed over.

[Tom Griswold]

Right now it's Miller Light. St Peter just said I got a place for story in the front row. Yeah, right.

[Ace Cosby]

That really doesn't fit the show. I don't know why.

[Christy Lee]

That was really sweet.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I like you. I like, I like the old school sportscasters where they only did one sport. I know that these networks pay these sportscasters mega millions now so they have to call four different sports like. But I liked it when it, it's just. No, I just do this one thing. I don't do anything else. And it made you amazing at it.

[Tom Griswold]

We're speaking with Roy Wood Jr. Roy's a new special. Can you still call it that? Yes, Tom, it's called a special.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a, a delightful film, stand up comedy program. And I don't know what to do.

[Ace Cosby]

If I disagree with him, he does that. If I agree with him, he does that. I don't know what to do.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's special because Roy's in it. Hence the.

[Ace Cosby]

It's on Hulu.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And it's. It's called Lonely Flowers and it just made its premiere.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay, what's my line again?

[Tom Griswold]

Why are you appear to be a little nervous? I'll explain. I'll explain why. May need a couple of tips from you guys. Once again we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Shop Show.

[Ace Cosby]

Bravo TV star Lala Kent holds nothing back on the Give Them Lala podcast. No, I have a very short views. Get to know the TV personality.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't need to watch the show.

[Ace Cosby]

Because I get the real life version from relationships and motherhood.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Let me tell you something about breastfeeding.

[Ace Cosby]

To business and beyond. You are scared of failure so it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Prevents you from trying.

[Christy Lee]

This is where we implement a big setup of ovaries and then we obsess.

[Ace Cosby]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform. I was wondering how you were going to. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Hello Tom, how are you? What a great show. We've got one of our special favorite special guests with us.

[Tom Griswold]

Good morning once again. Thanks for joining us. We're hanging out with comedian Roy Wood Jr.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Fan of the Chicago Cubs, fan of the Miami Dolphins and a guy who's here and there. And he's going to be on your TV on the Hulu Network, right. Beginning several hours ago. And you can find that and go to who and look for Roy Wood Jr. And lonely flowers is the is the key operative words, my understanding. We're getting a satellite connection right now. And there we go. It looks like someone's either eating breakfast or chewing gum. I can't tell which. It's Jeff Oscar.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, how's it going everybody?

[Ace Cosby]

Hey Jeff.

[Chick McGee]

I'm over at the failed dimension news desk, Mr. Roy Wood Jr. We give you a lot of the news each week. We don't give you all the news. So I'm here to give our listeners the news that we have failed to mention.

[Ace Cosby]

Now here's Jeff Oscar. Failed to mention news.

[Tom Griswold]

You got a new announcer.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I love it.

[Ace Cosby]

He sounds like he's fallen out of a building.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

2025, baby.

[Chick McGee]

It was announced that ex president Bill Clinton is about to have a future naval aircraft carrier named after him.

[Ace Cosby]

What?

[Chick McGee]

You failed to mention the ship named the USS William J. Clinton won't do right turns or left turns. It'll only do interns.

[Tom Griswold]

Down with the Ship.

[Chick McGee]

I did like that joke till Tom tagged it an influencer. Said to stop taking your cell phone into the bathroom while showering after her phone started to develop mold on it. What you failed to mention sounds like she just needs to upgrade to the current iPhone from her outdated iPhone. Sport 4. That's why I thought Tom would do the numbers are weird. Two people died at a swingers convention over the holiday. What you failed to mention. What A boner killer.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The Taliban. The Taliban has banned windows in houses so that men will not be tempted and have impure thoughts from seeing women inside her home. What you failed to mention. Man, those Taliban are some horny dudes. I just feel bad for the peeping tamirs over there. What are they gonna do now? Tamir, an arsonist, was caught on video accidentally setting his pants on fire. What you failed to mention. Not only is Savannah an arsonist, apparently he's even worse. He's a liar. Liar. The family's home from the show Breaking Bad is up for sale for $4 million. What you failed to mention for that 60s ranch home for $4 million, it better have an operational meth lab in it that's currently bringing in around 3.8 million.

[Ace Cosby]

Then you got some.

[Chick McGee]

And finally, L.A. is still on fire. No one could have predicted we'd start off 2025 with LA slowly burning to the ground. What you failed to mention. I mean, other than a few dozen insurance actuaries, who could have ever predicted that? I'm Jeff. Oscar. This has been the news that I failed to measure.

[Ace Cosby]

Thank you, Jeff.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Jeffrey. Now shirt. Jeff, time to get back to the action with. We haven't really checked in. Did we finish our sports one?

[Ace Cosby]

Looks like. Looks like one more. A pair of Swedes are in the stupid world record arena. They have broken the Guinness world record for the longest table tennis rally.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Emil Olson and Frederick Nilsson. Yep. That's Swedish all right. Self proclaimed spin duo achieved the title after spending 13 hours, 37 minutes and 6 seconds engaged in a table tennis match. According to the rules, the rally must be continuous and players were not allowed to take breaks between passes. So they kept the ball going for 13 hours, 37 minutes, 6 seconds. Is that what I'm hearing?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that what I'm reading in this story?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

It's the longest continued. Longest table tennis rally over. Finally finished after 13 hours. So that's impossible.

[Tom Griswold]

They have to be wearing diapers of some sort then, right?

[Christy Lee]

You can't potentially. Most people can hold it for a day.

[Tom Griswold]

13 hours.

[Christy Lee]

They didn't drink before? I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

And so is this one. One dude volley that keeps going on and on and on and on and on.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure it's not challenged, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They're able to drink.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's probably not if they can drink and snack. They gotta go eventually, I would think.

[Christy Lee]

Well, so they're wearing diapers.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. Maybe they're.

[Tom Griswold]

They were. I'm just asking. It's a fair question.

[Ace Cosby]

I can't wait till I have to wear drivers.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Should I be impressed or should I be embarrassed? I'm trying to figure this out.

[Christy Lee]

With their record?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. Okay. It's cool. But it's also. It's table tennis. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It's like, I'm not trying to down it as unathletic, but also like, I have no scope of like, I don't know how to be impressed by this.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

We feel that way about most of our world record stories. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

We really do.

[Chick McGee]

It's okay. They did it.

[Christy Lee]

But we'll say, so what?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm more intrigued at how you die at a swingers convention like that.

[Christy Lee]

Well, they think it was a drug overdose.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Okay. That's different. I thought they died like mid stroke.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Like doing that 13 hours right now.

[Tom Griswold]

See, now you got a story.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that would.

[Tom Griswold]

That would have been fun.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

13 hours.

[Tom Griswold]

What if these guys did. I wonder if these guys did it in the basement for authenticity. Her mom's upstairs. Are you boys still playing down there?

[Christy Lee]

Let's see now if they had a crowd watching.

[Tom Griswold]

I feel bad for the. The. What do they call it?

[Ace Cosby]

The.

[Tom Griswold]

The adjudicators that have to sit there and watch for 13 hours. Two guys hitting a ping pong ball back and forth. No, thanks. Those are the. Those are the real heroes now. Speaking of heroes, Chick McGee's got his heroic jersey on. Getting ready for that game on Saturday evening. The 8:00 game.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes. Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

Now with us in the studio, a guy who's watching the playoffs from a distance. Roy Wood Jr. Has always been a Miami Dolphins fan. Are you an NBA fan? Are you switch gears here a little.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I grew up watching Charlotte Hornets, so I would say I'm a Hornets fan. But if you asked me to name the starting lineup, I could not do. I'd be like, yeah, you know, they got the one kid, the black guy and the black guy, and then it's a Serbian, so it's always a white dude from like A really dangerous white country. That's what the NBA is now. They got those guys. If there's one change I'd make to the NBA, I think we need to bring back fighting a little bit more. Because, honestly, if we want to talk about how the international. The infusion of international players has changed the behavioral mechanics of American sports. And, like, foreigners don't be fighting like that. That's not what they do. I will dunk on you and then smile and then go back up there. Like, no fight. Cause that was, like, good ratings. Like, that was an exciting time when, like, players would average 4.2 felonies a game. And it gave you a reason to watch bad teams because there was tension. And that was just as important. It was a soap opera. There was more of a soap opera unfolding. But now we got like this. There's black people from Canada playing now. And, like, they don't fight.

[Ace Cosby]

There's a guy. Guy who's Denver's guy.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Is it Jokic?

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah. His brother's a boxer.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Like that. That.

[Ace Cosby]

And he got the fight in the stands.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. As you should. You don't want that guy on the court. There's. I just think that there was a time, like, for all the grief people give Draymond Green with the Warriors, Every team used to have two Draymonds where their only job was to fight. I don't score points if I get a rebound. Sound cool? But I'm the coach. Literally put me in the game.

[Christy Lee]

The intimidator.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Who would back it up. Like, that's. That's where I.

[Christy Lee]

Now half the stars won't even play in the games.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm just gonna shoot a three from half court. No. Get your ass under that ring and come get this punch to the balls. Are you a man or not? So, you know, I like the modern game, but I do miss the. The grit of the old school NBA a little bit. But I know it's. Fighting's bad for sponsors.

[Ace Cosby]

They're having trouble. Right. They want to go back to the end. Too many three point. Three point shots is what they're saying in the NBA. People are getting bored with the three point shot.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Ace Cosby]

They want to attack the rim more. So they're asking why. Why shouldn't we make baskets? Three points and three point shots. Four points.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Ace Cosby]

And, ah, there's. It's all sorts of stuff that'll throw all the stuff. Well, that's. They can't respect the history of the game. Moving it that much like that yeah, it's. They. They need to say that something needs to change.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

But see, I think it's going to self correct because you have Victor when Benyama in San Antonio and he's becoming extremely dominant. He can play from the outside, but he dominates on the inside.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So eventually to combat him, you have to draft your own super tall foreign black guy. And so now the idea of, of tall players. Bigger. I'm joking but like you need bigger centers to combat him.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Because he's going to be the dominant force over the next decade in the league. So I think we'll get back to our Hakeem, you know, Shaquille O'Neal era type stuff because the only thing that's going to beat a Victor Wembanyana is like a more swole. Like you need a shack to stop that.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's the guy from. Is it the Canadian? Canadian guy. It's in Florida.

[Ace Cosby]

Florida.

[Chick McGee]

He's taller than.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, the seven. Nine.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, Oliver Rue. Seven feet nine.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, you're the one Shaq met. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You got. Oh, you have tall foreign. I want to get tall man to beat your tall man.

[Christy Lee]

Then will they raise the goal? I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they can't do that. Come on.

[Ace Cosby]

No, I, I don't know what they're going to do. I don't know. I kind of like the three point NBA. I. I'm Steph Curry and sure. All the shooting. I like the shooting. I'm not a big fan of the dunk and the, you know, the posters.

[Tom Griswold]

And all that, but now a couple things here. We haven't heard from you today. Pat, I know. You got us. I'm enjoying Roy Wood over here. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

You're giving off a nervous vibe.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta leave early. I've got a. A doctor's appointment. I've got meeting a new doctor today.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is always weird. Yeah, I. You know, I'm kind of wondering if I should I dress a certain way.

[Chick McGee]

What you want. You want to make a first impression?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Change your boots for one.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That'd be.

[Tom Griswold]

But why I will now is this.

[Chick McGee]

A new doctor because it's a new specialist.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, it's a new specialist guy and I've never met him.

[Christy Lee]

And what's he specializing in?

[Tom Griswold]

Some.

[Chick McGee]

Something Private Christine.

[Christy Lee]

But you got.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If it's prostate, then you got to take a bath.

[Christy Lee]

You got it?

[Tom Griswold]

No. Yes, it is. It is not. But I did. I did an extra careful bathing.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

You Know this is.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm gonna make every effort not to poop before I leave today.

[Ace Cosby]

This is. This is a doctor's appointment, not a first date. Okay. What are you doing?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, you want to make a good impression.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

That's fair.

[Christy Lee]

Not really.

[Ace Cosby]

I mean although he has all. Every gathering we've. A social gathering we've ever been at. He will hunt down a doctor. Talk to he. Absolutely. Or. Or an airline pilot.

[Tom Griswold]

One of the two people that do interesting things.

[Christy Lee]

Does this guy know that you're coming? I mean is he aware of your street? Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's going to be weird if you may or may not know who I am on what I do.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So it'll be odd.

[Tom Griswold]

Could be odd. I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Your appointment is when?

[Tom Griswold]

This morning, in a couple hours.

[Chick McGee]

A couple hours. So you need to leave now to do all the pre first appointments.

[Tom Griswold]

You can see, typically if it were in the afternoon, I would shower immediately before going.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

You know.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Brush your teeth.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know.

[Christy Lee]

I'm gonna do your hair.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm gonna brush my teeth. I've already got my. Buy some flowers.

[Chick McGee]

You're not wearing that, are you?

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean? Some lonely flowers. I wonder today is this. This just wearing a, you know, simple noise.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's too casual.

[Ace Cosby]

Far too casual. Stupid. What?

[Tom Griswold]

Coat and tie.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no, that's too. That's too much.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Cuz if you have to get undressed, it'll take you forever.

[Ace Cosby]

I got a nice quarter zoo and.

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta fluff yourself little. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When he first comes in, I hope I can be dressed then. And then do the transition. It'd be really weird if it's. I'll take off all your stuff and sit over there. That's awful.

[Christy Lee]

You know what I've always found really weird in all the ladies. You guys probably won't understand this, but you go into the doctor, especially if you're going to your ob GYN and even and say he's a man. A lot of obgyns are men. And you have to take your clothes off and you have that little curtain and then they have a little place for your clothes. No matter what, you can ask any woman. We always cover up our bra. Always.

[Ace Cosby]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. It's the weirdest. Look, Jess is going, yes, you don't.

[Chick McGee]

Want them to see your bra yet.

[Christy Lee]

They'Re going to see you naked.

[Chick McGee]

But is it.

[Christy Lee]

You don't want them to see your bra.

[Chick McGee]

Interesting.

[Christy Lee]

And I know after I brought this up because I was thinking about the other day, and almost every. Every woman I've ever brought this up to, a girl agreed with me. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the source of that?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. I do it at home.

[Chick McGee]

Is your OB GYN a male or female?

[Christy Lee]

Mine was male.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I. I've always wondered if women prefer a female obgyn because, you know, they know everything.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of women do, and they're more comfortable.

[Chick McGee]

Or if they prefer a male because males are smart.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

It's got to be a tough time.

[Ace Cosby]

That's an honest question.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You are so wrong.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, you want to be comfortable.

[Ace Cosby]

And get bad, get the right diagnosis.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want to compare and go again. Wow. Boy, mine looks a lot better than this.

[Christy Lee]

It's just something.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This is. Well, looking at you, this is good for my self esteem.

[Ace Cosby]

No, but you don't.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what I'm saying? Christy, when you. When you had to switch obs, did you. Is your new one a lady or a gent?

[Christy Lee]

I don't have an OB GYN anymore. I have a private practice physician that does it all.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow.

[Christy Lee]

Boy, girl, a man. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Were you nervous the first time you went to see him?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

I don't get nervous going to the doctor.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe it's just me. Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

There's a lot of stuff we can say that about. Yeah, maybe it's just, you know, you.

[Tom Griswold]

Don'T want to hear the guy go, well, never seen this before.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, thank you. Just be yourself. You'll be all right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm at that age now where I don't trust when the doctor's like, okay, it's all good. No problems. I'm like, nah, look again. I know what I've been eating.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Run the numbers again. I don't like this. It's like you order food at a restaurant to get to the table too fast. Like, nah, this did not cook. This is a mistake. Yeah, yeah. Looked at my A1C that fast.

[Tom Griswold]

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. We are joined by comedian Roy Wood Jr. And Roy is the man behind that new television special entitled Lonely Flowers on the Hulu Network. That's it, just debuted a couple hours ago, so you can check that out this week. Weekend. Floating around in the ether. And great to see Roy. We haven't seen him in person in a few years. He's all over the tv. And you were talking about the fact that you did a so called ride along.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It wasn't supposed to be a ride along, but it's just kind of what happened. Like I got, I have to give a shout out to Los Angeles County Fire Department. So I went out to LA and I wanted to make a donation. I wanted to talk to some of the firefighters who were covering the region. Like, all right, there's a forest fire or wildfire, right? You have to move firefighters that are in la, in LA proper, up the hill to help with that. So the firefighters that are left behind have to cover a larger area with half the manpower on, half the rest, right? So I went to go talk to these exhausted ass dudes just to see what's going on. I go down there and all I want is a shirt. And I have this firefighter named Paco. I, I call Paco, Paco, it's Engine 16 in Compton. And I go, I show up, I go, hey man, I just wanted to talk. We talked for like 10 minutes. And I go, can I have my shirt now? And he goes to get the shirt. They get an alarm. Oh, Paco goes, do you want to ride on the truck? I said, paco, I'm here for a shirt. And we end up on the truck. And as we're riding to this car, it is informed to me that Engine 16 in Compton is the busiest firehouse in LA county for fire. I was on this rig for two hours going from call to call. All I wanted was a shirt. I wanted to make a donation. I wanted to find out your story so I could talk about it and tell the people and make the donations and I'm on it. And we just went all over the neighborhood just putting out random fire. Because the thing that I think people forget about the wildfires is that there's still regular fire, there's still regular 911 calls and traffic collisions and all of that stuff. So it was really dope to be there with them. Most of those guys that were there at the station, they have not been home in a week. Some of them have Lost their home and still have not left the station to go and check on their own belongings because they're working in service to the people. And so when you're short staffed like that, you just do what you got to do. But it's. It's a very interesting life. And I think the one thing that if. If there's one way to fix the fire, like, to help support the fire department. Did y'all know that, like, when the fire trucks leave, sometimes people just break in the firehouse?

[Chick McGee]

No kids.

[Ace Cosby]

No.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

This is. People just go in the firehouse. Ain't nobody there. It's supposed to be one person there. But you're short staffed. Everybody's gotta go on a run.

[Ace Cosby]

Sure.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And they come home and there's just strangers cooking meals and stuff in the kitchen.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

On some Goldilocks, three bears like you just like. But yet so much respect, man. Nothing but respect to what? Cause, like, wildland firefighting is wild because it's like you have regular firefighters and then you have, hey, do you like firefighting? Yeah. All right. Can you do it without a truck of water? Would you mind trying that type of firefighting? And they just go, yeah, sign me up. Just make sure you fly a plane over now and then let it drop some seasoning salt. I know that's not what it is, but that's. I'm just. I'm fat. It just looks like. It look like life. Lowry's. I'm like, man, they gotta put some more lowries on that.

[Tom Griswold]

Bob, when you were a kid, can.

[Christy Lee]

I say something real quick about that? You glossed over the best part of that story for Tom. You got to go down the fire pole. Is that correct?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes, I did.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you did.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes, I did.

[Tom Griswold]

Did your inner person go wee?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

It was. It was very fun. But also at 46, I went very slow.

[Tom Griswold]

Really gripped it tight with your legs.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I look like a stripper on her first date. Not smooth at all.

[Tom Griswold]

When you. When you were a kid, did you have a particular thing you wanted to be? Did you want to be a newsman like your dad? Did you want to be. Do you want to be a fireman or a cop?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I wanted to be a firefighter. And then there was an astronaut for a minute. And then my mom said, you're never going to space camp because we're broke. And I was like, all right, let me switch dreams and firefighting. That's what I wanted to do. Until I saw Stuart Scott, like, coming up in journalism. My dad is just very issue driven journalism. And it Just felt boring. Stuart Scott and like Fred Hickman, there was a guy on CNN headline sports named Van or Right. They were fun and jovial and I was like, oh, I can do that. Because firefighting, I'd say the. This is back in the 90s where ESPN would air those firefighting rescue contests to see who could take the dummy up the stairs. I go, that looks hard. I am gonna do journalism.

[Tom Griswold]

Now Roy, I know that you've been a professional comedian for many, many years but as I like to say, even at the peak of his career, Tiger woods had someone help him, coach, coach him on a swing. And that's why it's time now for a little bit of schooling. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who's currently seen in Lonely Flowers on the Hula network, Roy Wood Jr. Is about to be schooled in comedy by this guy.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Here he is with his joke of the day.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey chick. Yes, Ace? I've got a pen that can write underwater. Is that right?

[Chick McGee]

He writes other words too.

[Ace Cosby]

Now I'm going back to my mind. How could I have helped more? Maybe we should have rehearsed. I don't Aces joke of the day.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Roy, in the course of the last few years you've met a lot of really interesting people, not necessarily just comedians.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In the world of non comedians and like politicians or baseball players or whatever, who's the funniest?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, oh, that's a, that's a tough one. The funniest non. Charles Barkley.

[Tom Griswold]

We've had him in here. He's really, he's. That's a good answer. He's funny.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I just, I think Charles Barkley is just quintessential. I don't think before I speak. So you're just going to get the truth. Like I'm not over analyzing any of this or trying to figure out one thing or another. Like yeah, he was, he was pretty, pretty cut and dry.

[Ace Cosby]

Did you like his CNN show and gayoking?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, I did it once, man. What's funny is that Charles wasn't as funny on CNN as he is on TNT because he respects Gayle King. And so like there's a reverence when you're a black woman journalist and like Charles will be on his best behavior. But then you put him next to Shaq and Kenny. Women in Texas are overweight. It's like, whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Charles, does your, does your mom ever compare you to your dad? Because your dad, dad was a very serious journalist. We mentioned him earlier, Roy Wood senior, really distinguished, a guy covering the most serious of the 60s, all that stuff. Does your mom ever say, well, your dad would love that joke or not really? Was he, was your dad funny at all?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No, I, I don't, I just, I don't remember him laughing. My pops read the paper and watch C Span and Larry King. I don't like, I, I, I've never seen my father watch a sitcom. So I, I, I just, I don't even know where I got my funny from, if I'm being honest. Yeah, my mom was pretty funny, but my dad would watch, he would watch, he might watch Airwolf. That was his one, as he called it. Sky Knight Rider Ain't nothing but a Car in the sky. Like hate was Watched it and he.

[Tom Griswold]

He never saw you do comedy, did he?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No, no, I was, my father passed when I was in high school. I was a senior in high school. Yeah, I, I guess my dad did see me do comedy. He came to watch me play baseball once.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't mean to set you up for that, but we're hanging out with a comedian, Roy Wood Jr. Once again, the, the new program is a, a stand up comedy special and it's entitled Lonely Flowers. It's on. So this weekend check out Roy on Hulu between football games. And we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Glad to be here. And this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Ace Cosby]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning even though we're not too much to look at. You can also watch the show on our YouTube channel. Well, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're the owner. All right. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, boy.

[Ace Cosby]

The O'Reilly Auto Part Studios.

[Tom Griswold]

Today's show in English.

[Ace Cosby]

It's Christy Lee at the SILAC insurance news desk. Pat Godwin's here. Are you going to do a song or sit on your ass?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, I was enjoying Roy, but I'm.

[Ace Cosby]

Ready to sing now. There's Josh Arnold, the IH Steven Singer sidekick chair. Thank you, Chick Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick Magigo football team. And here, here's Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

A couple quick things. Roy Wood Jr. Our special guest is doing an interview with another show right now. Well, that's how convenient. I see this better be somebody important. Roy's new special is entitled Lonely Flowers. It's on Hulu and it just.

[Ace Cosby]

If you. If I told you right now, go home, Tom, turn on Hulu, watch Roy special, would you be able to handle it?

[Tom Griswold]

No, because I got to go to the doctor's appointment. I told you.

[Ace Cosby]

Do you have Hulu?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

No, no, no, no. The question is, do you know if you have Hulu? That's the question.

[Tom Griswold]

I. Yes, I do know and I. To access it, I can merely ask my almost 12 year old daughter. She'll.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, she'll hook you up.

[Tom Griswold]

Part of the Disney bundle.

[Christy Lee]

Well, yeah, it's on the Disney bundle. So that's.

[Tom Griswold]

She knows how to. She knows how to do that. I'm looking forward to it. I'm a big fan and I found.

[Ace Cosby]

Out yesterday I have three AMC pluses.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, for Pete.

[Christy Lee]

Are you kidding me?

[Ace Cosby]

I have AMC plus the app. I have AMC plus with the Amazon app.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

And I have AMC plus with the YouTube TV. I think that's at least one too many.

[Chick McGee]

I can't wait to just carelessly piss away money.

[Tom Griswold]

See, it's not just an old man thing. Life is confusing.

[Ace Cosby]

Life is confusing.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to spend.

[Chick McGee]

It can be.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to spend an hour yesterday trying to fix Venmo because one of my cards got compromised.

[Ace Cosby]

And God, there is no more.

[Tom Griswold]

I was ready to find a place I could go drive and grab somebody and strangle them until they could fix it for me.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't know what, I don't know what's relatable from before all of this technological explosion, but there's nothing more terrifying than you get a phishing email and you go, wow, you're such and such. Credit card. We know your password and oh my God. So then you got to go check out. Is this legit? What's going on? It's terrifying.

[Chick McGee]

Like, this is a month or two of hassles.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes. And then if it truly does get compromised, you got to get a new credit card. Forget it.

[Tom Griswold]

Then you got to remember I had two of them blow up this week. And then you got to remember kind of what recurring things are on that credit card. That's where I'm at.

[Ace Cosby]

And then, you know, you have it paid. Made us in three months. What's going on over there?

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta have a password for everything. I bought a sledgehammer at Home Depot. I had to get a password. What the hell?

[Ace Cosby]

Wish I had a sledgehammer.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you hammer in the morning?

[Ace Cosby]

I'd hammer in the morning. How about evening? I'd hammer at suppertime. So I'm all over the. All over the land.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Do you have the chop kindling in the. In your backyard? That's one of the favorite things I do now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You gave me a. The hatchet.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, but.

[Tom Griswold]

And I just. I seriously just bought a new sledgehammer a couple weeks ago.

[Ace Cosby]

There's.

[Tom Griswold]

It does not need a password.

[Ace Cosby]

Did you buy that?

[Chick McGee]

I do have it.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah. And it's. It's hard to explain what it is.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's like a. A sideless bucket almost.

[Ace Cosby]

Yes. It's a circular and a.

[Chick McGee]

There's almost a hatchet head in it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that.

[Ace Cosby]

You put a small piece of wood up.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

For you is you like do a cuss word and then smash that log.

[Tom Griswold]

And I got to get a new wood guy. I just keep buying those little bundles.

[Christy Lee]

At the gas station to have somebody drop off wood.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Because I mean you go to the gas station, it's $3,000 for four sticks of wood. You know what I'm talking about?

[Ace Cosby]

But somehow I end up paying it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I'd like a lottery ticket. And this pile of wood, that's $50.

[Christy Lee]

And why did they leave the wood outside where it gets all wet? That doesn't make sense.

[Tom Griswold]

Cuz it's full of bugs and it's.

[Christy Lee]

I'll cover it with the tarp.

[Chick McGee]

They're all wrapped in plastic. I haven't. I buy it all the time and it's really.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, it's good that time. Did you surprise for Michigan come in?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I just got a thing. It's on the way.

[Ace Cosby]

For everyone listening, this is something Tom has said he's done for me. He bought a new pair of shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

You're a shoe guy.

[Ace Cosby]

I am not me.

[Tom Griswold]

I probably have 10 pairs of shoes at the most altogether.

[Ace Cosby]

So to give me a treat, you bought yourself a pair of shoes and wants to. You want to show them to me?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Well.

[Tom Griswold]

But I bought a pair of boots because the only pair of. The only pair of boots I had I couldn't find cuz I moved. They're in a box somewhere.

[Ace Cosby]

I'm aware of the Wolverine brand. I didn't know they were all handmade, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they're in Michigan so they seem pretty. So in the process of my research, I found these Wolverine boots.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't think they're all handmade, but they sell a lot of them to be all handmade.

[Chick McGee]

This is not dissimilar from when Tom allowed Pat to walk Tom's dogs Because it was a treat for you.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, I thought. What Tom said was yesterday afternoon I was thinking, I'll give Pat a treat.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

I'll let him walk my dog.

[Chick McGee]

Right, Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Who thinks like that?

[Chick McGee]

It was all very mischievous. And so this is. I will give Chick a treat. I'll buy myself a pair of.

[Ace Cosby]

Exactly.

[Christy Lee]

And he'll go, oh, those are very cool. He'll happy for you.

[Ace Cosby]

He was very excited. Me and my new shoe.

[Tom Griswold]

I got my new boots already. My Rosignol kinky boots. And. And the Chick hates them.

[Chick McGee]

Honey, did you hear what I did for Chick?

[Ace Cosby]

Kids, maybe you'll have a friend one day that you can do this for. What's wrong with you?

[Tom Griswold]

Because it would irritate you that I'm a big fan of the state of Michigan. So when I. When I saw this, I have to.

[Ace Cosby]

Get just me that it irritates.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay, that's fine.

[Ace Cosby]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That's fine. Now, coming up, of course, a big game in Michigan and the Detroit Lions, kind of the Sweethearts of the playoffs, I think, in the NFL.

[Ace Cosby]

Are they. Are they really now, though? Are they? I don't think they are.

[Tom Griswold]

I think they are.

[Ace Cosby]

I don't think they are the Sweethearts.

[Christy Lee]

Not to everybody and not to my household.

[Chick McGee]

How can they be when you are America's sweetheart?

[Ace Cosby]

This is. I'm America's sweetheart. I'm the national treasure. And my football team is going to go up there and lose by 17. But my point is they're winning.

[Chick McGee]

I'm telling you, they're going to win.

[Christy Lee]

You have a feeling.

[Chick McGee]

And I have a more. I know.

[Tom Griswold]

I think. I think between the Bills and the Lions, I think that they're both kind of the Sweethearts.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Everyone would like to see a team that's never been up there.

[Chick McGee]

Right?

[Ace Cosby]

Let's see. Let me think for a minute. Hang on a second. Who has been in the super bowl left in Chiefs have been, obviously.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you're not slinging all that out into Google, are you?

[Ace Cosby]

Let's see. Washington has been in the Super Bowl. Chiefs, super bowl, of course. Eagles, Super Bowl, Rams, Super Bowl. The. The Ravens won a Super Bowl. So the Bills, the Texans and the Lions, three of the eight teams this weekend, have never been to the Super Bowl. The Bills have been. That's right. The Bills will win. But they've never lost. That's right.

[Chick McGee]

Never won.

[Ace Cosby]

They never won. That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it'll be interesting. And you are backwards. You are wearing your jerseys. Yes, I am celebrating the Washington, which means Sunflower Club and we completed our Sportscast. Roy Wood Jr. Is doing an interview right now. We hope to have him back in here shortly.

[Ace Cosby]

This is kind of like if your girlfriend excuses yourself, excuses herself from dinner.

[Christy Lee]

And goes on another date.

[Ace Cosby]

Go on another date and you're eating dessert and she'll. She'll see you at home. But she's.

[Chick McGee]

No, you're right.

[Ace Cosby]

She's bagging the guy on the other date right now.

[Chick McGee]

I lock that door.

[Ace Cosby]

But I'll see you at home, honey.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a. We did a story yesterday, I think about this time, actually, and I really like the story. No one else did. It was about the fact that I believe it was 20% of all job postings are fraudulent. They're fake. The jobs don't really exist.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I. And I believe it's even higher. I think for a lot of different reasons. People post job. But I mentioned in the course of this that I'd seen some offer. Offers that. And I, I didn't. I. I guess I was schooled that the horny milfs looking for men are. Those are. Those are. Those are fake. Those ads.

[Ace Cosby]

I think we were more fascinated.

[Tom Griswold]

Horny. Horny mills in your area looking to.

[Ace Cosby]

Meet you have that ad floating across your computer screen about horny mills.

[Chick McGee]

I was just looking at poor.

[Tom Griswold]

I was.

[Ace Cosby]

That's exactly what.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I was just handed this from Andy. He. He writes horny milfs. Tom, that's not a job, it's a passion. So. So they may be real. So horny milfs out there?

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, no, no, they're out there. Oh, Horny milfs are real.

[Christy Lee]

Horny milks are very real. And they don't have to advertise.

[Ace Cosby]

And you know what makes horny milfs mad? Indifference.

[Chick McGee]

They don't want to be ignored.

[Ace Cosby]

No, sir. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

They'll punch you in your face posting all those ads. Christy Lee is at the Silenc insurance.

[Ace Cosby]

News desk and we'll see what's coming up. Oh, sorry. You got an idea, Christy? What's going to come up?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Well, hopefully our guests will be back, but we do have some interesting stories about.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, some interesting stories.

[Chick McGee]

Well, we are interested in hearing them.

[Christy Lee]

How about a guy who filmed himself getting eaten by a lion?

[Chick McGee]

Whoa. Filmed himself. Well, you know what?

[Tom Griswold]

Put it this way, that's the kind.

[Ace Cosby]

Of can do attitude I want in my first.

[Tom Griswold]

Put it this way. He hit start. He hit start. I. Someone else had to. Had to close down. As they say.

[Ace Cosby]

Hell yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow. Okay. And also, we have to celebrate. I'm sure you guys, I guess we could save this one for Monday. It's National Soup Month.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we need to save this for Monday because I think it's a discussion.

[Tom Griswold]

You may love soup, but when you hear what they're doing at Progreso. Yikes. We'll look forward.

[Ace Cosby]

Black bean soup, period. Black bean soup?

[Christy Lee]

[Ace Cosby]

40 mils are in your area right now.

[Tom Griswold]

We are coming right back. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Ace Cosby]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Look who's behind back.

[Ace Cosby]

Christie's here. Pat Godwin, Josh Arnold, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick. And our world class guest has returned from doing another interview on another show.

[Tom Griswold]

Must have been, must have been pretty good. I could see him through the glass, laughing, yucking it up, throwing his arms up.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I, I believe I heard an old friend. You're still my main squeeze.

[Chick McGee]

I believe I heard you yell. I sure wish I was there.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, that's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I could read his lips. Oh, gosh. We're hanging out with Roy Wood Jr. Who just rejected us briefly. Roy's television special. It's some stand up comedy. Recorded. And it's now known as the Lonely Flowers Show.

[Ace Cosby]

That's not it at all. This is the worst plug in the.

[Christy Lee]

History of the world.

[Chick McGee]

A streaming special on Hulu.

[Tom Griswold]

Hulu has a. Oh, you guys know all the lingo. Because you're. Special.

[Ace Cosby]

A new stand up comedy special with.

[Chick McGee]

Roy Wood Jr. Semi aware.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. In tune.

[Ace Cosby]

Sorry, Roy. Lonely Flowers.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Nice try, Roy.

[Tom Griswold]

Where was this? If I could use the old fashioned word? Taped.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Washington, D.C. all right. The Lincoln Theater.

[Ace Cosby]

Keep your head down.

[Tom Griswold]

Not Ford.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No, no, not that.

[Ace Cosby]

But still not that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I mean, isn't that kind of bad?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. It'd be like. Like having the Buddy Holly Airport.

[Christy Lee]

That's not good.

[Ace Cosby]

But, Roy, you have a ritual before you record a special, right?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I go to Peoria in Atlanta. Those are the two places I go perform the week before. Because Peoria is like just quintessential America. If it gets a laugh here. Because folks in Peoria got work. They got stuff on their mind. So if I can get you to laugh. Cool. And then I go to Atlanta to make sure that black people won't be mad at these jokes. Still gotta go back to black people sooner or later. So those are the two things. Now on the day. Not really. I eat a hot dog. I know that sounds like a stupid thing, but like, for a special taping. Hot dog.

[Chick McGee]

How about that?

[Ace Cosby]

Sometimes a hot dog really gets it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Doesn't matter from where. And I lucked out in D.C. because the theater's next door to Ben's Chili bowl. So they are all the good stuff over there.

[Ace Cosby]

Now, could you smell. Can you smell Ben's Chili bowl in the Lincoln Theater?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No. In a way.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, once again, it's on Hulu, so I'll be sure to.

[Ace Cosby]

And Roy, you missed this. I don't know if you've heard, but Tom has a doctor's appointment. He has to leave here momentarily and he's. He's treating this new doctor appointment. Appointment like it's a. It's a first date. He's. He's nervous. He was wondering if he's dressed properly, if he's clean enough to go see the new. We can't understand what.

[Tom Griswold]

I already have a letter from someone who is a. Who is. Assists a physician.

[Ace Cosby]

And what sort of examination is it? Could I ask.

[Christy Lee]

He can't tell us you can't tell us. HIPAA violence.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you know, is it your.

[Ace Cosby]

Is it your butt?

[Chick McGee]

Is it your butt?

[Christy Lee]

I asked about that. You guys scoffed at me.

[Tom Griswold]

It is not.

[Ace Cosby]

Is it your wiener?

[Chick McGee]

Is it wiener or ball?

[Ace Cosby]

Got to be wiener or.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not. It's so. No, you. You got three. Three strikes you're out. All right. Okay.

[Ace Cosby]

This is a podiatrist, not even a doctor.

[Christy Lee]

Is it your hearing?

[Tom Griswold]

What? That is such a classic. He's still got it.

[Christy Lee]

To play this game.

[Tom Griswold]

This registered nurse writes, oh, yes, you are judged.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When you first walk in.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

She works. Yeah. You. She goes. It's understandable you want to dress casual for your first appointment. Trust me, the doctor will notice.

[Chick McGee]

What? The doctor will notice how you're dressed.

[Ace Cosby]

This is going on going.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm getting annoyed.

[Christy Lee]

But I thought. I thought you were already in the gown.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a section on the documents where they write physical appearance. That's especially important. You don't want them to be writing disheveled and unkempt.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

See the kind of guy I want. Disheveled and unkempt. Now that's what I want.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Medically. Medically. What does that have to do with anything? If I come in with my hair uncut with skid marks in my drawers, what does that have to do? Run the numbers, take my blood and tell me whether or not I got the condition. Condition. If I got it, tell me which pill at Walgreens fixes it so I can go in there and fight with them.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I.

[Ace Cosby]

Well.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Well, this patient. His. His khakis did not match the shoes. And why would he wear plaid with polka dots? This sort of a.

[Chick McGee]

Was wearing Lee jeans.

[Ace Cosby]

You believe that?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Much as health care is, you should dress up for me. What are you wearing? Yeah, with your old smock. You ever get. You ever go in the ER and it's like some doctor with the worn out scrubs.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Let me.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me turn the tables on you, Roy. You are the father of an eight year old, is that correct? Yes. Have you had the experience of going to the parent teacher conference?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, did you find yourself making sure that you were well dressed for that?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, because I was him to. I want him to think that the boy's parents not crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. You know, this is sort of the same thing. You want to have a certain amount of.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you've always been worried about what people think of you.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you know, oddly always. I. Because ordinarily I would go home and reshower put on fresh clothing.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, man.

[Christy Lee]

See, now, that's why we should have a shower in the building. Get it done. Exact break.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. Roy could have taken his break to do his interview, and I'd be showering.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I just think for what we pay for health care, I'm just very underwhelmed at the. At the outfits that our health professionals are presenting themselves to us. And I know you're here to save my life, and I appreciate it, but also, you got a couple wrinkles in that. Little scrubs.

[Chick McGee]

You want a doctor with a cummerbund, they'll steam that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what I think. Our whole culture, though, there's.

[Christy Lee]

It's gotten casual.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But there are also. There are certain uniforms.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The scrubs being one.

[Tom Griswold]

And then the lawyers look a certain way. Way.

[Christy Lee]

But doctors only wore scrubs back in the day when they were in the operating room. Now they wear them all the time.

[Ace Cosby]

You know what's more interesting about you, though, is that you are really concerned about what strangers think about you, as opposed to anyone you associate with on a regular basis.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I don't care what you guys.

[Ace Cosby]

No, no. You care less. Yeah, but strangers.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

But lawyers, that's, like, psychological. Like, part of it. Because you're trying to influence a jury or a judge, so you have to, like, think about color scheme. Like, I know a couple of, you know, female lawyers who. They go like, you can't show a certain amount of leg or else your client's gonna lose because he's represented by a hussy.

[Christy Lee]

He's right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And they still use that word. Or is that just.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no.

[Ace Cosby]

I think we bring it back. Hussy.

[Christy Lee]

It's almost like you're acting.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I mean, when you're a thousand percent.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We were talking about this. I have a friend that's a trial lawyer, and she's. That's exactly what she does.

[Ace Cosby]

She.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. That's a whole field. Yes. Of how trial lawyers act, depending on a lot of different factors.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

We've gone through that before. Now, as a comedian, when you filmed the new Roy Wood Jr special entitled Lonely Flowers on Hulu. See what I did there?

[Christy Lee]

Very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you. Were you advised as to what to wear or were you casual? Did you wear a tie? What was the.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I did, like, a little, like, bomber jacket or whatever. I deliberately don't wear suits when I perform because Daily show put us in a suit for so long that I need you to know that I do other stuff. I don't just. I'M not suit dude forever Now.

[Tom Griswold]

You were wearing a tux on the.

[Chick McGee]

Well, the correspondence center.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, that's black tie.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you rent it?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

The. The tux? Oh, yeah. I don't have many tuxedo events to attend. Also, most of that stuff you can only wear once. Cause God forbid you get caught in a rent peed down and get caught by the fashion police. So. Yeah, like, because I noticed, like, then even, like, in television, most shows that I get offered, I end up in a suit. I was in Better Call Saul. I was a lawyer. I was a principal and Flatbush Misdemeanor. So it's like, there's always suit stuff. So I was like, no, let me just wear some.

[Christy Lee]

Fashion Police can tell the difference between a tuxedo on a man.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

They can?

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, if you're wearing something weird enough.

[Ace Cosby]

Different brand.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I just wish I was comfortable enough to wear shorts. Like, I watch Gabe Iglesias and I just get jealous. He's built an entire career just in short sets, and I'm like, damn, I wish I had jokes that could overcome me in shorts. Cause, like, if I was on stage in shorts, she'd be like, what happened? Airline.

[Chick McGee]

When I first started the open mind that I would hit every week, the St. Louis funny bone, you weren't allowed on stage if you're wearing shorts. You were just automatically off the list immediately. Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Is that a psychological thing? People don't think people.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, the manager of the club is like, no, you're never going up there.

[Christy Lee]

You're not responsible.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm professional. I. Whenever I wear shorts, I just look like my luggage was lost. So it presents in a way that suggests that I don't take this serious. Serious. And so, like, that's how a lot of club, especially old school guys, are probably from, like, the. You know. And I know the manager you're talking about. He's very much a. You know.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I don't know. He's not gonna make you wear a tux, but.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Get dressed up a little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I'm leaving.

[Christy Lee]

All right, Later.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Good luck on your first date.

[Tom Griswold]

It's gonna be fine.

[Chick McGee]

Just be yourself.

[Ace Cosby]

I think it's about time we heard Pat Godwin sing a song and then you can skull count.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I'll skull count out. Thank you.

[Ace Cosby]

Yep. That's right. He never.

[Tom Griswold]

I love the Southwest Pilot story. You got that over there, boy?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Oh, yeah, that is.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wait a minute.

[Christy Lee]

I don't have that.

[Tom Griswold]

I can. I can give you the short version of that. Oh, yeah, it's sad, actually. A pilot. A pilot from. A pilot from Southwest was pulled off the plane, Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Really?

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, he had a dui.

[Tom Griswold]

Dui, right.

[Ace Cosby]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Young. Yikes.

[Ace Cosby]

Did he get on the plane?

[Tom Griswold]

I believe. I think they pulled him out of him. They said his behavior was. I think they pulled him out of the cockpit.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes. But, yeah, he did not take off in the plane.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Here's a question about.

[Tom Griswold]

They have. They have not released blood alcohol level or any of that. So who knows if the guy was.

[Christy Lee]

Southwest Airline pilot removed from the cockpit ahead of a flight charged with driving under the influence. Interesting. Citing unnamed sources, CBS News reports reports that the gentleman allegedly smelled of alcohol and may have shown other signs of intoxication prior to the flight from Georgia to Chicago airport. Police in Savannah removed him before the flight took off. There you go.

[Chick McGee]

All right, here we go then.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

All my drinks are drunk. I'm ready to fly. I'd probably get an FU.

[Tom Griswold]

No way that I'm below a 0.04.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

But the plane is leaving. I'm the pilot, me and the other guy and we gotta fly it. I can sleep it off once we're in the sky. So kiss me, cute flight attendant. I can't say stewardess. You'll be offended. Do me in the bathroom once we're in the air. Come on, baby. I'm heaving on a jet plane. Pretty sure they won't let me fly again.

[Ace Cosby]

They're drawing blood.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I refuse to blow.

[Ace Cosby]

Pops.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Gotta go.

[Christy Lee]

Good luck, Tommy.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Good luck, Tom.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Very nice pet.

[Ace Cosby]

What else over there, Ms. Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Well, a zookeeper in exam. In his. In Uzbekistan.

[Ace Cosby]

Uzbekistan.

[Christy Lee]

Uzbekistan. Has died sadly after entering a lion enclosure apparently to impress his girlfriend.

[Chick McGee]

What did he die of?

[Christy Lee]

According to the International business times, the 44 year old was working his night shift at the zoo when he filmed himself approaching the lion's cage. In the video, he flips the camera on himself as if recording the video to send to his fiance.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Christy Lee]

The animals appear docile at first. He begins to pet the lion.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, hey, look at that. Look at this guy.

[Christy Lee]

But as you can imagine, they soon attack the unsuspecting keeper. Russian authorities said the man was eaten alive.

[Tom Griswold]

That is brutal.

[Christy Lee]

One of the lions was killed, the other tranquilized.

[Ace Cosby]

I got 19 million views, so.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I don't. I have not. I don't know if the video is out there.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Why you kill me?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, exactly. It's always unfair when they kill the animal. That was just doing.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Now he has the flavor for humans. Now he will see humans Forever as delicious treats.

[Chick McGee]

He did before.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, he did, right.

[Christy Lee]

He just never had the opportunity. Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

This happens a lot though. People climb into cages like this and want their picture taken.

[Chick McGee]

You know, usually it's not a zookeepers.

[Ace Cosby]

They know better, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they do.

[Ace Cosby]

I. I wonder what the girl looked like. She must have been hot.

[Chick McGee]

Must have been real, real hot.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah. To justify that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. You don't do that.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

What if she's not. You're like, wow, dude, you did all that?

[Chick McGee]

Got eaten alive or her.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, God. Well, better than eating her, I can tell you.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? I would have preferred this.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you hope that first bite took him, you know?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, exactly.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

First.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You don't want it to be the ankle. You want it to be the juggle.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. Suffocate me, baby. Choke me out. Choke me, daddy.

[Christy Lee]

On this kind of note, I guess I. We should bring this up. Filmmaker David lynch has passed away. His family announced the death on social media saying, quote, there's a big hole in the world now that he's no longer with us. But as he would say, keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole. It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way. David lynch died just before his 79th birthday. Cause of death, not immediately available, but he had talked about him having eczema for years.

[Chick McGee]

And I revisited Blue Velvet last night.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, did you really? We were talking about that because Pat said he took a first date to see Blue Velvet.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, that went poorly.

[Christy Lee]

It did not.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Really?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah. I didn't know what the movie was all about. I loved it, but she did not.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I have not seen.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a great movie.

[Chick McGee]

I love it too. It has one of the all time most terrifying villains.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I've never seen. It was. What's it about?

[Chick McGee]

Like, what just was a young kid and his sort of girlfriend decide to kind of, you know, a bit of a mystery in the small town and they go, they kind of follow up on it and it just gets darker.

[Ace Cosby]

And darker and nitrous is involved. It's in the woods, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

First date.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Deep wood mystery murder.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know anything about it took a first insanity.

[Ace Cosby]

You guys remember how popular Twin Peaks was?

[Christy Lee]

Oh my gosh. My kids just started watching.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I'm a big fan of the other day.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. And I loved Mulholland Drive now. I did.

[Ace Cosby]

Sure, that's a great movie. That's probably not.

[Chick McGee]

All of his stuff is very accessible in terms of understanding it, so. But don't worry. But he didn't want you to.

[Ace Cosby]

No.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, I had the same thing. I took a girl to see barbershop too, and it didn't.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

She hadn't seen part one.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh, she was lost. Okay. All right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I didn't know. I just didn't know. My bad. I thought.

[Chick McGee]

My dad and I went and saw. We saw Barber Shop. Barber shop too. And Beauty shop.

[Ace Cosby]

Made a day of it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

And finally, locking up store merchandise can deter shoplifters and paying customers alike, apparently. Apparently. According to Walgreens, the pharmacy chain CEO Tim Wentworth said Walgreens first quarter earnings call Tuesday, that when you lock things up, you don't sell as many of them. And we've kind of proven that conclusively. So it's hurt their sales in a big, big way.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

So what does that mean? Is it green flag racing on shoplifting again?

[Christy Lee]

Openings up again?

[Ace Cosby]

So they must have made more. Letting people steal what they wanted and slept selling and then locking it up. Yeah, it's a pain to have to call somebody over and sometimes they're busy doing something.

[Christy Lee]

Right. And that's exactly what I think he was talking.

[Ace Cosby]

If you're looking for prophylactics, Josh, you tell the person at Walgreens you want rubbers or condoms.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I asked for the Coney Island Whitefish.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that what you call it?

[Christy Lee]

Okay, we have a great condom.

[Chick McGee]

But the thing about that, though, locking up in Walgreens, though, is if you were in a town that you weren't familiar with, you could tell what part of town you're in by how much was locked up.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, what's locked up tells you, oh, this is what they're into over here. This is a meth town.

Longtime Bob and Tom comedian and do the Bob and Tom comedy shows all across the country.

[Christy Lee]

Well, we love having you as a guest. Asteroid. Welcome anytime.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

You know, those shows are part of why like now, like I met Mike Birbiglia at those shows early on and like now Bigly and I have been friends since then and like I've been able to go, I feel myself transitioning into, oh, I think I want to tell stories like Mike. I think I have weird stories. So because I saw him make that transition on the tour where he was going in front of your audiences and telling long eight minute stories that there was no punchline in the middles, that he'd get to the end and kick the audience in their teeth. And I'm like, hey, man, if you could teach me that, man, figure that out. You got to keep evolving, man. Tik tok. Y'all think that tik tock ban is going to happen? Are you?

[Christy Lee]

I don't think so.

[Ace Cosby]

I think it is.

[Christy Lee]

I think it's going to happen at the last minute.

[Ace Cosby]

We'll just switch to another social platform. Right.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that what they do to be the, what is it? Lemon 8 Lemonade.

[Christy Lee]

Is that owned by the Chinese too?

[Chick McGee]

It's owned by the same company that, that owns TikTok.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yeah, yeah. Bite dance. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And, and that one and Retino are supposedly even more intrusive in their privacy. TikTok. So it's like. Yeah, don't. It's like jumping out of the frying pan into a deep fryer.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

If you switch out. I just, I feel bad for the kids that like all these small businesses that make all that money on TikTok, like for a lot of like 17 and 18 year olds. And it's wild to think this, this is their first job.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And they're getting laid off. Like it's your first layoff.

[Ace Cosby]

They're getting their. Laid off. Yeah. Laid off.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

And you don't have the people skills. And I'm not trying to bring it back to the special flowers on Hulu, but the idea that as a teenager, that first job was your interaction with people. And this is the first, like real adults who don't give a damn about you is your job. Because like most adults you meet as a teenager, it's the church, it's your coach, it's your teacher. We kind of like you. I had a dude named Cocaine Mike who punched me in the mouth. 17 years old. Not a slap, a punch, a full came from downtown. And I deserved it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I deserved it. We got into an argument at work about, you know, work ethic and all of that, that stuff. And. And I. I'm a better person because of that. And I. That's what I think the kids are going to miss from Tik Tok is because now we got 20 year olds who are filthy rich and they've never.

[Christy Lee]

Had to work fast food. Dang it.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Every American.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Every single American Military service for one year or fast food for three.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Oh, amen.

[Chick McGee]

Not bad.

[Christy Lee]

Amen.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Somewhere with the deep fryer. It doesn't have to be a drive through. I don't want to put you in danger.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Or a. A slicer.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Somewhere you have to show some sort of.

[Ace Cosby]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Responsibility.

[Ace Cosby]

You have to start a piece of equipment. You have to be checked out on.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Or you can work on.

[Chick McGee]

What about Chipotle?

[Ace Cosby]

The account?

[Roy Wood Jr.]

No, no, no, no. Too kind. It's not enough that you've seen Chipotle employees. They got chick fil a vibes. You're not gonna. They do. You're not gonna get character in this place. You need to go to a Popeyes.

[Ace Cosby]

Be sure and check out Roy Wood Jr's brand new stand up comedy special, Lonely Flowers.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

Streaming right now on Hulu.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Yes.

[Ace Cosby]

That brings us to today in history.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Ace Cosby]

Can you believe it? January 17th.

[Christy Lee]

Wrapping up the week.

[Ace Cosby]

The big. The big. I don't. I'm not sure why. This isn't a national holiday. Today is Benjamin Franklin's birthday. He was the third and fifth president of the United States.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

People forget that. He didn't have in between.

[Ace Cosby]

He's on the $100 bill. It's all about the Benjamins. Right? Right.

[Christy Lee]

Did you hear what I said? You should sleep with a French woman today.

[Ace Cosby]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

In honor of Ben Franklin.

[Ace Cosby]

Like that. He Took baths. He liked taking baths with this ladies, didn't he? It seems like every Benjamin Franklin movie I've seen, he's taking a bath.

[Christy Lee]

Michael Douglas does not sell that. I'm sorry, did you watch that?

[Ace Cosby]

I have not seen that one.

[Christy Lee]

It's hard to believe Michael Douglas is Ben Franklin. It's. It was a hard sell.

[Ace Cosby]

Well, it says here Benjamin Franklin is the person most misidentified as a president of the United States. Well, that can't be. That can't be correct.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that person is misidentified.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, absolutely. He came out. Benjamin Franklin, came up with the idea of libraries and fire departments.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, there you go. Titus Indoor.

[Ace Cosby]

What do you think of that?

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. I mean, maybe he wanted a T shirt like Roy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Today.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

But hang on. Library, I get. But is that an invention or is that just. Somebody eventually would have figured out fire.

[Chick McGee]

There are fires. Maybe we should have a team of people who put them out.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

This isn't electricity. He somehow conjured up like. I'm not saying I don't respect Ben Franklin, but let's listen. He didn't.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Al Capone's birthday today. Oh, how about that? Died of syphilis. Right, didn't he?

[Christy Lee]

I think so.

[Chick McGee]

Gonorrhea went to his brain and everything.

[Ace Cosby]

Yeah, yeah, he went all goofy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Betty White's birthday today.

[Chick McGee]

He was in prison singing show, too. That's just Capone.

[Ace Cosby]

You know, James Earl Jones birthday today.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Nice.

[Ace Cosby]

Maury Povich. Boy, this is a many and varied list. Al Capone, Betty White, James Earl Jones, Maury Povich, Muhammad Ali, Steve Earl, Jim Carrey, Bob Rock. You might know him as Kid Rock.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Zoe Deschanel. D. Wade. Dwayne Wade. Popeyes made his first appearance in a comic strip called Thimble Theater.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Popeye's one of those characters that's now in the public domain. And so there's a new horror movie coming out with a killer Popeye.

[Ace Cosby]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ace Cosby]

Is that right?

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Is he animated?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, he's just this big, bulky. He looks like Popeye, but a monster.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

Popeye spent all that time fighting a dude over a four.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you ain't kidding, right?

[Tom Griswold]

That.

[Christy Lee]

That you're being generous with a four.

[Ace Cosby]

No boobs, no ass, no nothing.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing.

[Ace Cosby]

Just a big, whiny voice. Shut up, Olive Oil.

[Tom Griswold]

Shut up.

[Chick McGee]

She don't have a gag reflex. Okay, it's starting to make sense.

[Roy Wood Jr.]

I get it now.

[Ace Cosby]

[Ace Cosby]

Foiled again. You never knew personal finance could be this fun.
