Wow. It's Mr. And Mrs. Dinty Moore.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
How are you?
Christy Lee
We'll make you some stew.
Chick
What's for dinner tonight?
Tom
Stew, naturally.
Chick
You think Mr. And Mrs. Dinny Moore have cases and cases of stew in the back? Probably they do.
Tom
Is there a Mrs. Dinty Moore?
Christy Lee
Has to be.
Tom
Is that his first? Is Dinty one guy?
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
His name is Dinty.
Chick
Dinty D I N T. Yeah.
Josh
Oh, not like two guys that got together.
Chick
Dinty and Moore.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Are you sure?
Josh
I have no clue.
Chick
I'm reasonably sure. Now Walt Disney's two people. A lot of people think it's just one.
Tom
Okay, now you're playing with them.
Chick
No, no, no, no. Christie is at the Silac Insurance news desk.
Tom
Has anybody ever made a movie with all of the fictional food people?
Christy Lee
Mrs. Butterworth and Denty Moore.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Betty Crocker, Uncle Ben.
Chick
Yeah. As a kid there was a cartoon with all the cereal mascots, I think.
Tom
See, they were probably all from the same company. I'm wondering if anybody's ever done like a cross company.
Chick
I don't think so. Although they did on Roger Rabbit because they always.
Tom
What is the thing that the expression now is they talk about the so called Marvel Universe.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Tom
And the DC Universe. You'd have the Kellogg's universe versus the General Mills universe versus the whatever other food company.
Chick
Well, that was a big deal about Roger Rabbit. Is that Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck and Donald Duck got together.
Tom
Yeah.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
So we could have all the food people together. A lot of them though are now Politically incorrect.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
Just Pepe Le Pew, I think, right?
Tom
No, no, no. But I believe. Is Aunt Jemima still out there? Didn't.
Josh
No, it's not Pearl Mill or whatever the hell Uncle Ben is.
Chick
Just Ben now.
Tom
Uncle Ben is Okay.
Josh
And I remember looking at. Wasn't Jemima a real woman? And it was like based on.
Christy Lee
Oh yes.
Tom
And isn't that a common name in England?
Chick
So either way, Jemima is. Yeah. Well, more common there than here.
Josh
That may have been a bunch of scared white people going you think we should get rid of that? Not once consulting with a black person.
Chick
Sure. That's the way we do it.
Haywood Banks
Yeah.
Tom
Yeah. I know that the first.
Chick
We need to be scared.
Tom
I believe the. Am I correct in saying the native indigenous woman on the butter.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Stephen Singer
Land O'LAKES Is she still around?
Chick
I think they took her off. No, she's on there. Really?
Tom
That was the famous thing where you folded it the right way and it looked like she had huge boobs. Right.
Chick
You could see her boobies.
Tom
And let's face it, I mean, boobs are great on whatever your ethnic cultural heritage might be. Is that correct? Huh?
Chick
How desperate are you to fold a box of butter so you can see just a hint of figure that out cartoon.
Tom
I think if you talk to any psychologist, they'll tell you that that's the. In the realm of things that people.
Christy Lee
Do to your guys. Right.
Tom
Yeah, They're. Remember we were talking to Dr. June Reinish and she said in prison, if you could draw good naked lady, you could. You were pretty much safe.
Chick
I was sitting.
Tom
You could supply it to the other fellas. They'd leave you alone.
Chick
I was trying. I think I do. I can remember the first boobs I saw was late at night at my house. She came over and we were watching a Starsky and Hutch rerun.
Tom
So this was not your mom.
Chick
Sorry.
Josh
We got a visible G or an audible gasp from.
Christy Lee
From our producer way back in the back. In the back.
Chick
No, it wasn't my mother. It was my.
Tom
So you never saw those.
Chick
Pseudo girlfriend at. At the time. Okay. Who. I still talk to her now and then, by the way.
Christy Lee
That's nice.
Tom
Or quasi.
Chick
Quasi. Sort of. Not that she. She was all girl and. Not that. Used to be a guy. No, no. I. I mean, yeah. Was off and on, girl.
Tom
Was this a voluntary?
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah, yeah.
Chick
Yeah. She was into it.
Tom
Exposure.
Chick
Oh, she dug the chickster. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Josh
Why wouldn't she?
Chick
I didn't. Let me tell you something. I didn't force nothing on her.
Tom
Of course. Now, how was the lighting? Was it. Was this on a darkened.
Chick
It was appropriate. It was dimmed.
Tom
Okay.
Chick
It wasn't. You want me to.
Josh
Was it just the glow of the television.
Tom
You. I know. I wasn't stupid enough to bring this up.
Chick
You were. You. You what? You want me to like. Well, I snuck up on her in the dark. No, it was the plot of the episode. We were hanging out, man. I don't know that you'd remember Huggy. Huggy was up to something. Yeah.
Tom
I see.
Chick
I love Starsky and Hutch. When I was a kid, man, my.
Christy Lee
Neighbor had that Torino. The red with the white stripe. I thought so.
Chick
So ugly.
Tom
I love.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you love that.
Tom
By the way, you can go online right now there. You can buy one. Oh, I'm sure at a pretty good price.
Christy Lee
I don't really want one now, but at the time.
Tom
Yeah, that'd be. That'd be a fun quiz. What?
Chick
The first boobs you saw?
Tom
No. Tv? Cars.
Chick
Oh.
Christy Lee
Oh.
Chick
I think first boobs you saw and or touched would be a good quiz. What about you?
Christy Lee
Mine?
Tom
Well, that would be.
Chick
Oh, you're your own. Yeah. He wins that argument pretty quickly.
Tom
One would hope.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Yeah.
Chick
Was you the that Dalton woman across the street?
Tom
Not at all. This is the sort of thing a gentleman wouldn't discuss.
Christy Lee
What's his name's Mom?
Tom
In the shower, all they remember was the bush.
Christy Lee
You never looked at her.
Tom
I could.
Stephen Singer
I was.
Chick
Josh, you gotta have a first boob story. You or you were there on the front lines of sexuality. I know.
Josh
I felt some girls up before. I think I actually saw them. Saw them. You know what I mean?
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
I think that's typical. That's why I was asking Chick about the lighting and was this situation where you said, okay, here's what I want you to do. And you just stood back and got a good bead on him because you had glasses.
Chick
I remember they tasted like parfait. I remember that.
Tom
So now we're getting to a whole new realm of. I think we're not going to do taste. How do we get from beer run to this? I don't remember.
Chick
I don't remember.
Tom
It's what we. Chick Magee is a big fan of the Washington Football Club. They will be playing on Sunday.
Chick
And we will be talking to NFL MVP Joe Theisman this morning. Get his thoughts and feelings on the game coming up on.
Tom
All right.
Christy Lee
Have you announced your picks?
Chick
It's on Instagram. I haven't done it here on the show. I'm taking. I'm taking points this weekend. I like the Bills plus the points or Washington plus what?
Tom
What time is. Which game is it?
Chick
3:00. Washington. 6:30ish. Bills and Chiefs. Are you going to make a friendly wager with Steven Singer? He's from Philly. Pass.
Tom
Thank you, Ace.
Chick
Pass.
Tom
Steven Singer will be our guest from Steven Singer Jewelers. And I hate stevensinger.com. and Ace is correct. Mr. Singer is a Eagles fan. So I think some sort of wager would be appropriate.
Chick
Fight might break out you know, those Eagles fans are.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Also today, comedian Dustin Nickerson will be our guest. And also, I believe we're gonna have a special stop by with Mr. Haywood Banks. So we got a lot going on today. Looking forward to it. Now, by the way, originally we had Duke Tomato. The Duke Tomato Trio and the Steven Singer Singers all set to come in, but they have been racked by deport.
Chick
Deportation, Right?
Tom
No. Sudden illness. Everybody, the horn players, everybody is sick.
Christy Lee
Yikes.
Chick
So I don't think the bass player heard, though.
Josh
Yeah, I believe I saw him driving off as I pulled in like that. Nobody called that guy.
Tom
Bill was. He came all the way over.
Josh
If you look like it's me.
Chick
If you have a band, you would forget to tell the bass player, so. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you would.
Tom
Oh, they should have stayed. I would have had him play.
Chick
Of course you would, because it wouldn't make any sense.
Christy Lee
What, just the bass player?
Chick
Yeah, yeah.
Tom
Bill, if you're listening, come on back. If Eddie still got it set up, why, that'd be funny.
Chick
Don't do that. Don't do that. We could have Bill.
Tom
We could have Bill do all the intro.
Chick
Don't worry, Bill. Go on.
Josh
Do the theme from Barney Miller.
Chick
It's fine. Bill.
Josh
Oh, my God. Bill, get back in bed.
Chick
We could.
Tom
We could have Bill do Get in Bed, the Steven Singer theme song.
Chick
He's joking.
Tom
He's completely serious.
Chick
You know how wacky it is.
Josh
I wasn't going.
Chick
My fault. I know, I know. And when I said it, I felt the. Look, I know it's my fault.
Tom
Hey, remember, fellas, I'm your captain. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
We haven't forgotten.
Tom
I'm your captain. I'm your captain.
Josh
Breathe in salt water. We remember that you were our captain.
Chick
Go down for the third time.
Tom
Coming up, we have Lake Erie in the news today. Oh, in a rather unusual way, have.
Josh
You ever swam in Lake Erie?
Tom
Oh, of course.
Josh
Oh, okay.
Chick
I would have said swam, but swam is correct. Eh, it is.
Tom
Is it really?
Josh
Yes.
Chick
I need to take a look at that.
Tom
But I believe wouldn't gone swimming be.
Josh
Oh, that's clunky.
Chick
Go swimming.
Tom
Have you ever gone swimming in Lake Erie?
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
Have I ever swam in Lake Erie?
Tom
Swum.
Josh
That's way quicker, isn't it?
Christy Lee
Yeah, it is.
Josh
Two less syllables.
Tom
It sounds like you're hillbilly.
Chick
I swam, but.
Josh
But ironically, it's more erudite.
Chick
How about I. Oh, really? How about I seen you swam. That sounds like my mom. I've seen you swam over there. What? Mom.
Tom
Oh, well, thank you, Mom. All this fun stuff coming up. Interesting stuff going on. World of news today and sports, including. We have a very funny story in the world of archaeology, of all things. Obviously they find stuff and sometimes they don't know exactly what it is. Now they find out what it is. It's quite shocking. We have a cow in a barbershop.
Chick
I love this joke.
Tom
He was not happy. And we have one of those corpse flowers in the news.
Josh
Oh, is that season?
Tom
Yeah. And very rare. And of course famous for smelling bad. Stinking.
Christy Lee
Smelling like dead flesh.
Tom
Right? Yeah. So we got one of those guys in the news. We got a Punxsutawney Phil update. We got a couple of weirdo diets. We got. We got elephants in the news. We got elephants with lawyers in the news. And what would replace cow milk? We're going to find out. As far as I'm concerned, nothing. Real butter. Thank you very much. We now turn to Chick Magee across the way. I can see him. He's right there talking about what a great home he has and how much he loves Simplisafe.
Chick

Chick
Pat Godwin on the road. Doing some gigs tonight in far flung.
Tom
Places, Rothschild, Wisconsin for Patty G at Banter B A N T R. I'm Chick.
Chick
And here's Tom. Hi, Tom.
Tom
A quick update. I forget why we got there or how we got there. I believe it was because Christy Lee and Josh are both wearing kind of outdoorsy check red and black flannel shirts. Yeah. And you mentioned they look like Mr. And Mrs. Dinty Moore. Yep. Yeah, Dinty Moore. Kind of complicated history, but there was a real Dinty Moore.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Tom
There's a bunch of them, in fact.
Chick
A bunch of them.
Tom
Yeah, the name. There was a writer and apparently though the origin story during prohibition there was a place in New York City, Dinty Moore. And a lot of violations. I believe it was called the Volstead act, but it was a restaurant slash bar with a famous stew. So yeah, Dinty Moore was apparently one of the brothers. Yeah. So there's a real origin story there. So Dinty is a guy's first name.
Christy Lee
Well, I know you didn't grow up on Dinty more beef stew, but boy, we sure did.
Tom
I remember the commercials. It was kind of a very manly.
Christy Lee
That was the single mom's go to on a Wednesday night when she's had a bad day.
Chick
No kidding.
Christy Lee
Oh yeah.
Tom
Diddy Moore, beef stew. Well, now we have a lot to get to today. Coming up, we're going to visit with comedian Dustin Nickerson, comedian Haywood Banks, NFL great Joe Theisman and our special guest today, Stevenson Singer from Stephen Singer Jewelers. We got a little quiz for Mr. Singer. So we're not gonna let him off easy.
Christy Lee
You bring in a guest and then you quiz him.
Tom
That's right. Put him on the spot.
Chick
Let's not. Let's just. Hi, say hi and talk.
Tom
Nobody kidding. We're gonna make a challenge. Let's see. Now we have to do a quick review of some of the things we missed today or yesterday. Yesterday. Sorry. Yeah.
Chick
You might have missed Things we Learned, brought to you by Hyundai. Now you can buy a new Hyundai from the. Com of your new home at Amazon.
Christy Lee
That's crazy.
Chick
Visit HyundaiUSA.com for more details. That's cool.
Christy Lee
Love my Tucson. Highly recommend there.
Tom
All right, well, thank you very much. Hyundai.
Chick
I believe it's Tucson.
Tom
There's another whole show.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Car names you can't pronounce. What's that one from? Volkswagen. They got a bunch of.
Chick
Yeah, they have tag one. Tag one, tag one.
Christy Lee
Yeah, he's right.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
Farfin Nugan.
Christy Lee
I was. That's the word I was trying to think of.
Tom
Weird.
Chick
Didn't it end up being like a remote grave or something? Didn't that. I don't know the definition.
Tom
Let's see. We discussed the apparent egg shortage in parts of the United States. Right now.
Chick
Can we. Can you. I ask you this sometimes, and I've never met it more. Can you stop with the egg shortage? Because not only do you make listeners mad, you make our producer mad. He gets all upset. There's no such thing as an egg shortage. And you're perpetuating. If they're. You're sort of making an egg shortage by saying there's an egg shortage.
Tom
Would you like me to read it from the Associated Press?
Chick
I'm just telling you I was at a grocery yesterday and there were plenty of eggs.
Tom
Okay, fine. Okay.
Chick
Well, if that's not the definitive. Right from the Ace Cosby, I don't know what is.
Tom
Okay.
Chick
Be honest. Wouldn't you be a little excited if there was an egg shortage?
Tom
Well, there was, briefly. There's a whole chicken thing going on out there.
Josh
I hate to the grocery store I frequent two. Two weeks in a row, barely any eggs and a sign saying due to the egg shortage, we don't really have much.
Chick
How about this? Which came first, the chicken shortage or the egg shortage?
Josh
That is a fine question.
Tom
Please share your marijuana. This is kind of interesting, and I want to get this out there. RFK Stadium is heading for the.
Chick
They're going to ideal. The ideal situation is they tear the old one down and put a new one right up where the old one was, which would be wonderful and amazing. Which was where the stadium should be.
Tom
Instead of you would like to have one of the seats bum free?
Chick
Well, they sell them two at a time, so I'm going to get two of the seats, burgundy one and a gold one. Very excited.
Tom
Are they up for sale yet?
Chick
Oh, yeah, they're online.
Stephen Singer
Oh.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Okay. Well, very good, Very good.
Chick
I might have to drive to Omaha, Nebraska to pick them up, but don't ask any questions.
Tom
We had a very interesting new story yesterday about what is considered to be the oldest construction project in the world that is still continuing. And it involves a church in Spain, right?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
It is not the. Chicago.
Christy Lee
Chicago, yeah. In Barcelona.
Tom
In Barcelona, yeah. Yeah. It is not a highway near you, by the way. That's a very good point. And Josh pointed out sometimes he walks into a church and just starts crying.
Josh
Not really what I pointed out. I said it happened to me at the. That's one of the reasons I hate this.
Tom
Did it happen or no? Yes or no? Yes or no?
Josh
Yeah. Okay.
Tom
There we go. Okay.
Chick
Well, you know, I was in the wind. Just a cathedral.
Josh
Everybody, megaphones.
Tom
They have a little booth.
Chick
What a great song. That wasn't.
Tom
Huh? The new vaudeville band.
Josh
So odd.
Chick
Pu.
Tom
That's what happens when you get the. The British Invasion. Yeah. This. This construction project was started in 1882 and it's scheduled to finish next year. It's a church, La Sagrada Familia in.
Chick
Barcelona, designed by Curt Gowdy.
Christy Lee
Yes, yes, Famous Gowdy.
Tom
And I did a little bit of research and I'm telling you they're not going to be able to open it up next year because the outlets, at least in the rectory, are out of code. They don't have the gfi. That's just no good. Let's see. Now, lastly, and weirdly, Chick has decided that in his advanced age, apparently he thinks he's going from a size 12 to a size 13.
Chick
My feet are growing. Yeah. I'm more comfortable now in a 13.
Tom
Are they growing or are they just flattening?
Chick
12. All my life. I don't know. Maybe I'm. I'm gravity affecting me. I get maybe, possibly.
Tom
I don't know if this is a. If this is a real thing. Now, we mentioned the church. This is a big story that the scholars have released information that apparently Jesus Christ was not. Jesus was apparently not really the word that they used for his first name.
Chick
It was Morty. Morty.
Tom
Jesus Christ's real name, they think was something like Yeshnu Nazarene.
Christy Lee
Wouldn't it be Joe Jr. Can we.
Tom
@ least you'd think the Catholic girl would not be sacrilegious.
Chick
Can we at least give Joe that name? The kid after. Come on, boy.
Tom
That.
Christy Lee
I'm sorry.
Josh
Boy. God bless.
Chick
Joe.
Josh
Manny. Now, that's faith.
Tom
Did she ever pull that on him?
Chick
All right.
Tom
Did she think she ever pulled that?
Christy Lee
You're not the dad.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
Hey, look, you're not the real dad. Hey, hey, hey.
Chick
You know, Jesus looked at him and said, you're not my real father.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Chick
That had to happen.
Tom
Well, as Sam Kinison once said, as Sam, the great Sam Kinison once said, you don't hear a lot about teen Jesus.
Christy Lee
Oh, he was in time out all the time.
Tom
Apparently. This is. This is because the name, whatever it may have been, was in Aramaic. And then over the years, it was translated to Greek and then to Latin and bounced around a little bit. So scholars now believe that the name was something like Yeshu Nazarene. Because the word Jesus, apparently some of the sonic aspects of that didn't exist. Some of those sounds didn't exist in that language, which is kind of interesting. And. No, anti religious sentiment is part of that. It's just. That's what they think happened.
Christy Lee
Why did it take so long to discover that it didn't?
Josh
People have kind of known this for a while.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Tom
It's just. I don't know why this was just recently released. And, Josh, you seem bitter about it. And the fact that you were found wrong when you said his middle name and metal initial definitely started with the letter H. You were wrong. So. Jesus H. Christ. Yeah. You would have thought they would have at least given him a middle name, now that I think about it.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom
Maybe Jesus J. Christ, you know, in honor of his dad.
Chick
Yeah. Buddies called him Double Jack.
Tom
Yeah. And. And of course, that a lot of merch would have to be talking. Okay, well, it was. I don't know why this emerged in the news in a big way a couple days ago, but. But it did. So there you go. We have some sporting news to pass along. And by the way, speaking of sports from the Washington Football Club, Joe Theisman is going to be our special guest coming up later this morning.
Christy Lee
We always love.
Chick
Hey. All right.
Tom
And that is the. That's the. That's the Hail to the Redskins, which they have.
Chick
No, they. They play that. They still play that, but they don't sing the words. They change the words. The tale of the commanders now.
Tom
Okay, which is real dumb. Okay, well, I mean, it makes sense, I guess.
Chick
I guess.
Christy Lee
Are you gonna bolt your stadium seats to your floor so you can actually.
Chick
Use them, of course.
Josh
Whoa.
Chick
I'm going to. I might get four or five sets and bolt a pair to the floor in every room. So you can be seated in every room.
Tom
Christy and I have Mike, our handyman. He could come over and build you a tiered.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Floor. And you could. You could have an actual mini stadium.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
I'd have to put up with Mike, though, so I don't know about that.
Christy Lee
But I'll give you a good guy.
Chick
If you say so.
Tom
You guys could compare tattoos.
Josh
You could.
Chick
Wait a minute. Does he have some tattoos?
Tom
He does.
Chick
See you do anything else that I might enjoy?
Christy Lee
His hair down to his butt.
Chick
Oh, he's a hippie, huh? All right. I like hippies.
Tom
You might be able to, as you say in your realm, roll another one. What do you call it? A so called number.
Chick
Honking. Honking. Some hooch. I might do that. We have news from the Australian Open where it is just coming up on actually Thursday week is Christma. It's a warm Christmas. Very, very warm. Novak Djokovic. He injured himself during a match yesterday and he quit.
Christy Lee
Whoa.
Chick
So all this to a major tennis tournament and he has a little boo boo and he quit.
Josh
I am hurt.
Tom
What is the nature of his injury?
Chick
I am hurt. He hurt his knee reaching for water.
Josh
Oh, no.
Christy Lee
Strained a muscle.
Chick
And he strained a muscle. He dropped the first set of his Australian. Yeah. And he had the George Brett problem.
Tom
Right?
Chick
Right. Hemorrhoids.
Tom
He looked like grapes hanging out.
Chick
He quit against Alexander Zevrev. That's Z V E R E V Zevrev.
Josh
Sounds like a car trying to start on a winter morning.
Tom
Don't stop me.
Chick
Please don't stop me.
Tom
Oh, the classic Robert Klein bit.
Chick
So he's out of here. They booed him on. On as he left the court and he gave him the thumbs up is what they said.
Christy Lee
If you're injured, you have to boo a lot.
Chick
Musty bunch.
Tom
I just hope it's Covid and it kills him.
Christy Lee
Tom, that's not nice.
Tom
That doesn't mean I don't believe it.
Chick
We almost got past it and had forgotten about that incident. And you bring it right back.
Tom
The only reason he's able to play.
Chick
Is because everybody else go up. Let's see the NFL. Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Saquon Barkley, Juan Barkley. Our finalists for The Associated Press 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player and Offensive Player of the Year award. Josh Allen.
Tom
Prematurely. They shouldn't give these awards out till the season's over.
Chick
Oh, they have always been. Season is awarded for the season. The regular season is not the playoffs. Playoff performance doesn't count.
Josh
Well, yeah, but. Yeah, they have their own MVPs for the most part, don't they?
Dustin Nickerson
Yes.
Chick
Yeah, it's exactly right. Okay, you're wrong.
Tom
The most valuable player. How come you're not. Not in the playoffs right now? You shouldn't that valuable, were you.
Josh
You're surrounded by a lot of non valuable people. Oh, that is a bummer when that. That's a poor guy. Who is the MVP on the losing team?
Tom
Well, I guess maybe if he caught the ball, you know, I threw it right at him. The way this works is I throw it, you catch it.
Chick
That would be. Well, it has been awkward for Lamar Jackson to win the MVP a couple times. And every time he's accepted the award, he was available for the ceremony because he wasn't playing. Yeah, he was out. Out of the playoffs. And this year is no exception.
Christy Lee
And he's upset about that, isn't he?
Chick
He's more than a little upset. Yes.
Josh
Yes, he is trying to get a ring, fellas.
Chick
Yeah, over here.
Christy Lee
Give him an honorary one like they do Oscars.
Josh
After a few seasons.
Chick
Give them the. Give him the Thalberg. The Thalberg Super Bowl.
Tom
Oh, there you go. Why not for a career?
Chick
Yes, he certainly had one.
Tom
Okay.
Chick
And the Jacksonville Jaguars are evidently going. Their new head football coach is going to be Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Cohen. As the eighth head coach in franchise history, Cohen left Jacksonville without a contract. But a person familiar with such a reason said that everything should come together today sometimes. Neither side has confirmed the decision, though. But it would cap a covert operation that included owner Shad Khan moving on from GM Trent Balky. Don't be ridiculous. And Cohen reversing course with the Buccaneers. Cohen said he wasn't going to leave. He was very happy with Tampa Bay. And Tampa Bay rewarded him with the raise. And two days later he said, psych, I'm out of here. I'm going to Jacksonville. So there you go. We'll see what happens.
Tom
Okay, well, thank you very much.
Chick
More sports coming up.
Tom
Okay, speaking of sports. Speaking of. If you're a fan of the Ohio State University, they have got a very special commemorative football.
Chick
Yes, they do. And it's from Niko. Sports celebrate that thrill of maybe a once in a lifetime national championship.

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show at the Silac Insurance news desk. It's Christy Lee. Pat Godwin on assignment somewhere in Wisconsin. There's Josh Arnold at the I Hate Steven Singer Sidekick show.
Tom
Hey, Scott, you better be in your P's and Q's. Mr. Singer's in the building.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Tom
So, Josh, I'm warning you right now.
Josh
Okay. All right.
Tom
You're in the official seat. Please don't embarrass.
Josh
No.
Chick
Promise.
Tom
Here's Tom.
Chick
And Tom, aren't we going to be doing the. The show live in Riverside, Iowa, at some point.
Tom
At some point, I can. It's going to be 5am local time. When we start the show Friday, February 21st.
Chick
We have an email from Jim in Riverside. It says, subject Iowa sojourn.
Josh
Oh, very nice.
Chick
And the salutation is gentle, folks.
Tom
See, first of all, I love this guy. I know what the word sojourn means, but I've never voluntarily used it. Have you ever had occasion to say.
Josh
I don't think I have.
Tom
That's. That's some. That's some poetic writing there.
Chick
He starts out. I assume the Fox has made all your travel and housing arrangements.
Tom
This is 100.7 the Fox in Cedar Rapids.
Chick
I 80 truck stop information. The truck stop is about 90 minutes from Riverside. I assume if you're flying, you'll fly into Cedar Rapids. The casino is about an hour south. If you drive, you'll drive right by the truck stop. If you do drive, schedule a meal at the Iowa Machine Shed about four miles east of the truck stop. Best fried chicken on earth.
Josh
Wow.
Chick
And remember, Iowa also stands for. It's an acronym. Idiots out wandering around.
Josh
I haven't found that to be true.
Tom
I'm assuming this gent is from another state.
Chick
He's from Iowa, so he's just having.
Josh
Fun with his home.
Tom
Okay. All right.
Chick
I can't wait to meet all of you. No, you got Jim.
Tom
Okay, copy me that letter because I want to on the way home. Grab some fried chicken.
Chick
Take it. Take it all the way home.
Tom
Oh, yeah.
Chick
Eat it at home.
Josh
Is that pizza place anywhere near? Pizza Ranch is probably. Yeah, we will probably see them. Yes.
Chick
Chicken is not really a conducive food to eat while you're driving.
Christy Lee
Fried chicken. Come on. Yeah, Drumstick.
Chick
Your hands get all greasy and then you slip off the wheel and, oh.
Tom
My God, people heave it out the window.
Josh
I've had issues with my road rotisseries.
Chick
Yes, that's right.
Josh
It's snipping that little rope.
Christy Lee
Yeah, of course.
Josh
Around the drumsticks. That's.
Tom
Why do they do that.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
And then sometimes they put the legs together, they crimp metal around the legs. You know, those chickens are somewhat of a whores. They have to go that far to.
Tom
Keep their legs closed.
Chick
Jesus.
Tom
Now coming up, we have. I don't know why this is happening. So I go in the green room this morning and over by my coffee machine.
Chick
Yes, yes. You have an entire. Let's rewind for a second. You have an entire area that's just yours.
Josh
I believe Godwin once referred to it as your scaffold.
Tom
Yes.
Chick
It's a gigantic structure. Coffee maker.
Tom
The operative phrase would be name on show. Ergo.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Tom
So I. I'm not kidding. I walk in this morning and I look right to the left of my. What is it called? The Keurig machine.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom
There's a thing of sardines.
Christy Lee
Yeah. That's Pat Godwin.
Josh
It's also Godwin.
Christy Lee
He's on a sardine diet.
Tom
Well, did you see?
Christy Lee
Yeah, I did.
Stephen Singer
So there's a.
Tom
Is this. Are these things just by chance?
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Tom
But we have a new story coming up about a lady who was eating sardines, lost a great deal of weight with the so called sardine diet.
Christy Lee
62 year old retired military therapist struggling with extreme foot pain, inflammation and food addiction. Claims she has lost 35 pounds by eating only sardines for more than three months.
Josh
Oh, I. That can't.
Chick
Yeah. Coming out of her pores.
Tom
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Told Florida physician I better.
Tom
I bet her girlfriends think she's switched teams.
Christy Lee
Oh, obviously the people think I'm absolutely nuts. She eats four cans of sardines every day and supplements with MCT oil, which is a fat derived from coconut or palm kernel oil consuming around 1500 calories a day.
Tom
So. Well, you colonel, if you eat 1500 calories a day, you're gonna lose weight if it's in chocolate cake or in sardines. True, right?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom
Doesn't matter what the food is.
Josh
And it doesn't mean it's good for you.
Christy Lee
Right.
Josh
Yeah.
Christy Lee
You can't. I'm not.
Tom
What she do about the cats that.
Josh
Follow her around, man?
Tom
Wouldn't it maybe chick Is she 40?
Josh
Mercury.
Stephen Singer
Wouldn't you.
Tom
Yeah. Wouldn't your pores just start reeking of.
Christy Lee
You would think it's not a good thing.
Tom
I just had this discussion the other day and don't take any health advice from me, but I was advised by the physician not to do the fish oil supplements.
Josh
Oh, really?
Tom
Yeah. And then I was talking to someone about it and they Said that they had a friend that did it and. And their family begged him to stop because his breath smelled so bad.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Josh
No.
Tom
Whoa.
Christy Lee
Yeah. There are certain.
Josh
There must be some bad ones, some that caused that.
Tom
So this lady's actually eating a tin of sardines, which is healthy. And I have a question.
Josh
When you have them every. Now, sardines are great.
Tom
Isn't. And sardine isn't the name of the fish. Right.
Chick
There is no such thing as a sardine fish.
Tom
It's just that particular aggregation of little.
Chick
Fishies is fish parts and everything, and they fashion them into a fish looking thing and they call that sardine.
Tom
What?
Chick
I think so, yeah.
Tom
Oh, I thought it was just.
Christy Lee
I thought they had little heads on them and everything.
Tom
No, yeah, I understand. This. This lady. What was her name again?
Christy Lee
Her name.
Chick
Lisa.
Christy Lee
Her name was Jane Crummett.
Tom
And I guess she had. What is it? Agoraphobia, where you can't stand being in crowds.
Josh
Okay.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
Now that she's eating a lot of sardines, it's.
Josh
That's wide space. Wide open space.
Tom
She's able to be.
Josh
Oh, yeah. Nobody gets in her way. Yeah.
Tom
And she's fine now.
Josh
She parts. Parts the crowds.
Chick
She's also starting to lay eggs, which is o.
Josh
Well, that's a common side effect if you eat sardines only and can swim.
Christy Lee
They really salty sardines.
Josh
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom
I have never had them, but we quite literally have a tin of them sitting in the green room.
Josh
Godwin loves them.
Chick
You know what? I still have not had caviar. Same here. When are you going to get. When Josh and I are going to be able to eat some caviar.
Josh
I want to try some really nice.
Tom
Extremely. It's. I was at a buffet and it's extremely salty.
Chick
Tom buys some caviar, but you got it.
Tom
You got to know what you're doing. You got to have it on some kind of cracker and like a water.
Josh
Like special pewter spoons or.
Chick
Yes.
Josh
Silver or something. What is it?
Chick
A pewter.
Tom
I think it's something to justify paying that much money for a very small amount of food when, let's face it, I'd much rather have a really good cheeseburger. I mean, let's be honest here. It's a snob thing. What? Yeah. I can't imagine the sardine diet's a great idea.
Josh
No.
Tom
Is this where Godwin got the idea?
Josh
No, he was talking. He was talking a little bit about this a couple weeks ago.
Tom
Okay. Well, anyway, that. That's what's happening over there. Now we have to return briefly just for some sports teasers here.
Chick
Well, yeah, coming up, we'll talk about LeBron James and the All Star Game coming up in France and Fisco and Victor Wembanyama was in France and boy, did he have received a warm homecoming. Of course, yes, they were excited to see Vicky Vicki Wemweh.
Josh
That's exactly right.
Chick
Vicky. Vicky Wemwin.
Josh
Very shouting that.
Chick
And spoiler alert, the spurs did beat the Pacers yesterday afternoon. They play again tonight.
Tom
Okay, coming up, we have, we have cows. We have, we have a buffalo. We have, we have camels.
Chick
They all move. That's weird.
Tom
We have a camel nipples in the news. And we have the weirdest story. This. Now, this is a topic you're not going to find interesting at first.
Josh
All right. Okay.
Tom
The topic is fonts. F O N T font.
Chick
You are fascinated by font.
Christy Lee
Yes, he is.
Tom
And I don't know the distinction between a font and a typeface, but you.
Chick
Have an affection for fonts.
Tom
I do. Well, wait till you hear what the latest font is. Okay, you're gonna be.
Josh
Is it readable?
Christy Lee
We're gonna find out.
Chick
All right.
Tom
Yes.
Chick
It's not wingding, is it?
Tom
No, no. But it's, and it's completely ridiculous. And it's, it's all, it's all coming up. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Dustin Nickerson

Christy Lee
Set of ovaries and then we obsess.
Tom
Follow and listen on your favorite platform. Coming up.
Chick
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.
Tom
There we go.
Josh
Hi.
Chick
How are you?
Tom
Good.
Chick
Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Josh Arnold at the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair.
Josh
That's right, it's a new year. That means a new rose from Stephen Singer Jewelers. Their brand new 24 karat gold rose is peacock teal and boy, is it gorgeous. Get it before they sell out because they absolutely will. Exclusively at I hate stevensinger.com.
Chick
There'S Ace Cosby, I'm Chick McGee. And here's Tom with our special special guest.
Tom
I was really nervous.
Christy Lee
Why?
Tom
Oh, I figured Stephen Singer's here in the studio, and I figured Josh would probably blow it when he read the little thing over there about Stephen, but he got it right.
Josh
Thank you.
Tom
Congratulations.
Josh
Stayed up all night rehearsing if you.
Tom
Feel pretty good about that.
Josh
Well, let's ask the man himself.
Tom
Okay. We are joined by the famous jeweler, Stephen Singer. And he's right over there. I can see him. And by the way, right over there, I can see that, that, that rose happens to be right there. The peacock teal rose. Hey, Steven. How are you?
Stephen Singer
Good morning, everybody. It's so good to be here. This is great.
Josh
Great seeing you.
Tom
It's good to see you. We're gonna make you. We're gonna be a little quiz coming up for you.
Stephen Singer
All right.
Tom
And now, just right off the bat, I want to clear the air here. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Chick
Let's get the air cleared.
Tom
Oh, what are you talking about? Well, Chick McGee here at the sports desk is a lifelong fan of the Washington Football Club. And I mean lifelong. Ever since he was a little boy, he's been 19.
Chick
Fan. 1967. An entirely different century.
Tom
Yeah. The Vin Lombardi, believe it or not era.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
And you are a lifelong Eagles fan.
Stephen Singer
Oh, yeah, yeah. We do a lot with the Eagles.
Tom
Love the Eagles. And.
Chick
And I believe it's pronounced Eggles.
Tom
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
And water.
Tom
And the. And the big game coming up this Sunday.
Chick
Yes. At 3:00 on Sunday.
Stephen Singer
I'm gonna bet Chick a cheesesteak, I think.
Chick
Oh, nice. I love a cheesesteak.
Stephen Singer
There you go.
Chick
Okay. And I could bet you a tenderloin point. That's our sandwich.
Tom
Yeah, but what about. But don't you want to do something from Washington D.C. no, I want to.
Chick
Do something from me.
Stephen Singer
Right.
Tom
Okay.
Chick
It's my team. Shut up and stop offering your suggestions.
Stephen Singer
So are we doing just like one. One sandwich are we going to do. You're going to send my whole store your stuff, and I'll send everybody here cheesesteaks. How's that going to work? We're hungry.
Christy Lee
How many people are in your store?
Stephen Singer
Store? We have 60.
Christy Lee
60.
Chick
Well, here's the thing.
Stephen Singer
I wanted to make sure we had more than you guys have.
Chick
I will bet you for your whole store. All right, I'm. I. I should mention here that I have been known to welch on bets, but.
Stephen Singer
Well, you are in radio.
Chick
That's exactly right.
Tom
Let me ask you this do you have a favorite Philly cheesesteak outlet in Philadelphia?
Stephen Singer
Well, the two that are the most famous are Pat's and Gino's. Pat's actually invented the cheesesteak.
Chick
Whoa.
Stephen Singer
He's the one. And Gino's is across the street. I like them both equally, but when anybody comes to Philadelphia, we could take them to the greatest restaurants in the world. We have some really great, nice restaurants. And every time they say yes, Steve, thanks. This was really nice here. Four star, five star restaurant. But can we go get a cheesesteak and stand outside and have it dripping down your throat like that? And everybody wants to do it. Every single person.
Tom
Is there a date on the origin of the cheesesteak?
Stephen Singer
I think it was in the 50s, but I'm not sure. I'd have to look it up. But the original guy had a hot dog cart. Pat had a hot dog cart, and he used to make hot dogs and things. And he got sick of eating hot dogs. So he used to make himself take some. Some meat, slice it up, and then make it for himself. And the guy walked up to him and said, hey, I don't want a hot dog. Give me one of those. And he invented the cheesesteak. And we're off to the races.
Chick
Aren't there different kind of cheeses?
Stephen Singer
Yes, this is cheese whiz.
Tom
Okay. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Anybody that orders without cheese whizz is. You're not, like.
Tom
You don't know.
Josh
Interesting.
Chick
Pat and Harry oliveri Oliveira are often credited with inventing the Philly cheesesteak in the 30s. The brothers hot dog stand in South Philly created the sandwich by grilling beef and onions on an Italian roll. The brothers were tired of eating hot dogs for lunch.
Josh
So Swiss cheese is a no go.
Stephen Singer
Oh, yeah. You're like. If you ask for it any other way, they just, like, laugh. Yeah.
Josh
I feel like I see it served with Swiss more than any other.
Stephen Singer
Well, it's outside of Philadelphia. Let's say you're a candidate. If you're running for office and you come and you want to do, like, a Philly thing, right? And you say, oh, yeah, I'll have, like, American cheese.
Tom
Oh, you're.
Stephen Singer
They like, you're done. They like.
Chick
You know, Stephen, I'm sorry, Ace is disagreeing with you. I think Ace would. No, no, no, no, no. I just remember seeing a white cheese.
Josh
Sure, sure.
Tom
So, you know, it really is cheese whiz.
Stephen Singer
Yeah. It's the worst stuff that you could possibly eat, but.
Chick
I beg your pardon? Oh, it's bad.
Tom
Yeah, it's good.
Stephen Singer
Unless you eat all anchovies, which is. I heard great.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom
But Cheese Wiz. Cheese Whiz is not the one that comes out like, ready.
Christy Lee
Oh, that's easy Cheese.
Tom
Yeah. Cheese Whiz is the one that's kind of liquefied in the jar.
Chick
Yeah, yeah, in the jar.
Josh
Now that it is available in a can, too.
Haywood Banks
Yeah.
Chick
When I was a kid, we had them in. They were in glass jars.
Tom
Does it pour or is it like peanut butter?
Stephen Singer
They actually pour. What they do is you have a giant, like, almost like a soup veg, and they put like a ladle in there and they. And they actually pour it on. It's liquefied at that point. The other cheese, if you do. If you are silly enough to get one of the other ones, then they lay American or provolone or Swiss.
Chick
If you're silly enough to order it any other way.
Stephen Singer
Because, you know, you get so much crap from Philadelphia if you just ordered this thing wrong. You know, if you stand there too long, you order it like they tell you. Here's the rules of ordering. Don't take more than 10 seconds. I want it with or without. That's it. You know, I mean, that's okay with onions. Without onions. Everything else is. Is not negotiable.
Tom
Wow. Now you have made your pick officially.
Chick
Yeah, I'm taking the points in both games. I'm. I think I do this every year because I want to see good games. Washington's getting six and Buffalo's getting two against the Chiefs.
Tom
Okay.
Chick
Okay, there you go.
Tom
Any other sporting news while we're at it?
Chick
While we're at it. Where were we? LeBron James is extending his All Star records. The NBA revealed the starters, some anyway, for the revamped All Star Game on Thursday night this year, they're going to have the players sit down at video games and play each other on screen.
Josh
That's quite a change.
Chick
I don't know what they're doing, but he's made his 21st straight All Star game as a starter. It's an NBA record. And Ichiro Suzuki, you remember we're talking about him. Earlier in the week he was elected to the Major League Baseball hall of Fame. And one guy did not vote for him. And he says that he has found the name of this gentleman and has invited him to dinner at his house. And he said, we're going to have a drink together and then we're going to have a nice long talk about my career and why he didn't vote for me. Oh, evidently he's being serious. I think this would be a. In Japan especially, this would be an insult. This is big. A big deal. You don't vote for me. For the.
Josh
They're asking for the Yakuza hall of Fame.
Tom
Yes.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
There a process.
Tom
Chop off a finger. Is that what.
Josh
That's the. The Japanese mob. Yeah. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Is there usually a majority vote? I mean is it usually 100%, you.
Chick
Know, like Babe Ruth did not get elected. 100%.
Tom
Really?
Chick
Mariano Rivera, the only baseball player to ever get every single vote really. From the baseball writers.
Tom
The Babe. The guy that didn't vote for Babe. Truth. Babe probably shipped his wife.
Chick
Probably.
Tom
Oh, it was incredibly better. You know, Babe walked in with a hot dog and barfed in his store. Something like that. I'm just guessing.
Chick
Do you think that happened? The first enormous roar from the crowd came before the game even started. Victor Wembanyama. Or as we call him, Vicky.
Josh
Vicky Wemwim.
Chick
He needed to. All he needed to do was show up to get the fans in Paris to lose their minds. He said hello into a microphone. And the roar lasted about 45 seconds.
Josh
Everyone put their cigarettes in their mouths and clapped overhead.
Chick
And then they gave everybody there the white towels.
Josh
Well, they already had them.
Chick
That's exactly right. A two game set last night the. The spurs beat the pacers by about 30.
Tom
And what time was it? 2:00 here at start in 2:00 eastern time and then game and it was night.
Chick
Alex ovechkin moved within 20 goals of breaking Wayno's NHL record.
Josh
This is crazy.
Chick
And Empty Netter helping the Caps beat the crack and three nothing last night for their sixth straight victory. Ovi scored his 22nd goal of the season to push his career total to 875. Gretzky. One of those records. Everybody is. Nobody will ever break this record. So Ovi has 875 now and the great one, 894 goals.
Josh
We have a lot of games left, so.
Chick
And we got a bunch of games left.
Stephen Singer
Yeesh.
Chick
And from this past weekend in NFL action, Buffalo Bills fans have rallied in support of Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews by raising over $120,000 for charity.
Tom
This is a weird story.
Chick
It's a strange, odd story and it keeps getting we stranger.
Tom
And the setup is.
Chick
The Ravens could have won. Well, could have tied the game with a two point conversion.
Josh
Okay.
Chick
And Andrews dropped the ball on the gold line. But some people say that it could have been thrown better. Yada yada yada. I don't know I wasn't there. Looks like if you're. My dad always told me if you can get a hand on a ball, you should be able to catch it, especially a professional tomorrow. So anyway, this poor guy. 19 year old Bill's fan who benefited from him dropping the ball. Nicholas Howard launched the GoFundMe campaign in response to all of the smack talk online that Andrews faced after he lost and fumbled and dropped a potential game tying two point conversion. The campaign has since raised $120,000 as of Friday morning. It's for type 1 diabetes research and advocacy organization.
Tom
It's. I mean it's really kind of.
Chick
However, Bill's fans are also have been ruthless online to Mr. Andrews, as you might imagine.
Josh
I see.
Chick
And Mr. Andrews girlfriend has also been the recipient of.
Josh
Oh, man.
Tom
I just like what I set up for Josh. Some insults after Josh screwed up on the air. And I started that fund for corn dogs without homes.
Josh
It raised a lot of money. I did a lot of good for a lot of people.
Chick
You know what you do is you.
Josh
Get some lovely homes.
Chick
You get cheese whiz. Drizzle it on there.
Tom
Oh, you put cheese was in a corn dog. I mean, it's just fascinating what kind of a flavor combo that is.
Josh
But this guy's just trying to counteract the hate with some love, huh?
Chick
That's what he says.
Josh
Good for him.
Tom
Yeah, that is just that poor guy.
Chick
But remember the Bills fan base. Fan base is called the Bills mafia.
Joe Theisman
Yeah, yeah.
Tom
But wouldn't you say that the Philadelphia. Philadelphia Eagles fan base is one of the most difficult.
Chick
Oh, yeah. I don't know.
Stephen Singer
Very tough. Oh, yeah.
Josh
A motley crew.
Chick
They're enthusiastic. I know that.
Stephen Singer
Yes.
Tom
You wouldn't want to be wearing a. A Washington jersey.
Chick
I would not. But I'm a. What's the word? Coward.
Tom
Yeah, I see. Okay, good. Well, we'll find out more about that rivalry. Coming.
Stephen Singer
I. They had a guy standing in line. There's 20 people in line to go to the bathroom at the. At the football game. And he was wearing an opposing team's jersey, which I won't mention. So the line's 20, 30 people long. Every time he would get to the top of the line, three guys went over and picked him up and brought him back to the back of the line three times. I never got to go. That's how bad Philly fans are. I kind.
Tom
That's sort of elegant. I kind of like elegant.
Stephen Singer
It is funny though. You got it. You got it.
Tom
Nobody got hurt.
Stephen Singer
Nobody got hurt.
Tom
And this guy may have to go. This guy may have to go to urologist.
Chick
Yes, Urinary tract infection. But other than that.
Tom
Yeah, oddly enough, coming up, we do have urinary news this morning in an odd way and a new word I'd never heard before. P. Zeit.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom
Is. Is in the news. I've got peas right now. Our guest is Stephen Singer from Steven Singer Jewelers. I can tell you right now about the special brand new Valentine's Day rose because there's one right over there. The peacock teal. Stephen. It's got kind of a Caribbean feel.
Stephen Singer
Yes, it does. It's like a beautiful peacock. Is bread, is feathers. And you're just open on the beach and sitting there like you're on vacation. Yeah.
Tom
When you. What year did you do the first gold? Because these are dipped in real gold. Do you remember the year?
Stephen Singer
1980?
Tom
First gold dip rose.
Stephen Singer
1980. Everybody told me this is the dumbest idea ever. They're never going to sell.
Tom
And did the. From the get go, did it work right away or is there. Is there a way to dip a rose so that it doesn't all wilt when it hits the gold?
Stephen Singer
Well, two things didn't work. First off that we ruined a lot of roses getting, you know, getting this right. Secondly, nobody. The first couple years, I think we sold six or seven in a year like everybody told me. Listen, let's just give these away to charity or get rid of them. They're never going to sell. And now we're the world's biggest seller of roses that are not live and.
Tom
They'Re preserved, they're no longer alive in 24 karat gold. You can see what I'm talking about if you go to Stephen's website. I hate stevensinger.com by the way. The shipping, always complimentary. Oh, what a nice package. No, no, no, it means it's free. That's From I Hate stephensinger.com 24 Karat Gold Dip roses with Valentine's Day coming up. When is it, Christy?
Christy Lee
February 14th, just like every other.
Tom
But isn't that a Friday?
Christy Lee
Yeah, it is this year, which means.
Tom
That'S a lot of extra pressure, fellas. Yeah, a call for reservations now. You may be. You may be having a Philly cheesesteak in the streets if you don't hurry up. But I would recommend the rose with maybe perhaps the at last bracelet dangling from it. Stephen wasn't around in the fall when I was recommending people get nice diamond earrings from Steven Singer jewelers and put them in the mashed potato as a Little surprise for Thanksgiving. Yes, maybe in the case if you're gonna do that.
Christy Lee
Beautiful necklaces like this.
Tom
Well, don't forget Valentine's Day. And you can knock this off right now, fellas, by going To I Hate stevensinger.com Mr. Singer is our special guest today.

Tom
We got a whole lineup of guests and right now in the interview loft, it's Stephen Singer himself. And I actually. We originally we had the band scheduled to come in and everybody got sick. Suddenly. We had everything set up in the back. They had a rehearsal last night and they had some wave of something.
Chick
However, we had trained animals ready to go.
Tom
We did a little bit of a little bit of research and I believe we have it here. Thank you very much. Duke, Duke, Tomato. And that's the Steven Singer jingle, admittedly on tape. We were going to do it live.
Christy Lee
But if you hadn't told anybody, they would have thought it was live.
Tom
But we don't lie on this show, Christy.
Stephen Singer
Exaggerate a little, but not, not lie.
Tom
Yes, okay, Maybe the thing about the homeless corn dogs might have been a lie.
Haywood Banks
Yeah.
Tom
Spoiler alert.
Chick
That's how Clint Eastwood captures the killer. And play Misty for me. Go ahead.
Tom
Okay, thank you very much. Mr. Singer has joined us in the studio. And Stephen, I know you. You are a total professional. You've done many, many radio shows.
Stephen Singer
And this is true.
Tom
So often the. The radio host just. They just kiss your ass the whole time. We're not gonna do it. We're put you on the spot.
Stephen Singer
Okay.
Tom
Because your. Your last name, of course, is Singer.
Stephen Singer
Right.
Tom
Now, have you always been a Steven or were you a Steve? Steve.
Stephen Singer
Steven Singer, everybody.
Tom
When you were. When you were in high school, were your.
Stephen Singer
Did your buddy called me Singer?
Tom
Singer.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Tom
Okay, you know what?
Chick
You bring up a good point. A lot of. When I was a kid, we called everybody by our last name.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
Griswold. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Are you serious? That's a guy thing.
Josh
We gotta call Rustic and Bar and get him over here, that's all.
Chick
We don't call Rustic. He's a jackass.
Josh
No, no, Rustic is you.
Tom
What?
Josh
He's the party man.
Chick
Yeah, see, huh? Until he's a jackass.
Tom
So your name is Singer.
Stephen Singer
This is true.
Tom
Therefore, what I thought I would do here is play a little snippet of a song for you, and you have to identify the singer.
Stephen Singer
Okay?
Tom
Okay.
Christy Lee
Oh, my gosh.
Tom
What?
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom
You think I can let him off easy?
Stephen Singer
What do I win? Win?
Tom
Well, that's to be determined. And we'll. Let's now see if you know who sings this song.
Chick
Oh, see, because he sells Pearl now.
Tom
Yes.
Josh
Are they. Are all the songs jewelry related?
Tom
No, not necessarily.
Chick
Well, as we know in that song, that ain't jewelry.
Tom
Well, I think it could go either way. Let's not get smutty now. Christy Lee, do you know the answer?
Christy Lee
I.
Tom
Do you know the name of the song?
Christy Lee
Singer do not. I know the name of the band, Josh.
Josh
I know the band for sure. I just have a guess at the singer.
Chick
It's what's his face?
Christy Lee
Billy Gibbons.
Chick
Hang On a second, Mr. Singer.
Tom
I hope you didn't hear that. You have any guesses?
Stephen Singer
I would. Did one of the members of the band just die not too long ago?
Chick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right.
Josh
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
And they have long beards.
Tom
That's correct. You got that right.
Chick
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
And the drummer's name is like John Beard and has no beard.
Tom
Frank Beard. You got everything. You got everything going. One of the great irons.
Josh
Bernie's and.
Stephen Singer
Yeah, yep, I do know the band. As I'm having Alzheimer's stroke here, I'm going to tell you their name in a second.
Chick
They'll be the last band.
Stephen Singer
Alphabetically, ZZ Top.
Tom
Yes.
Stephen Singer
You know what's funny? I was going from A and I couldn't get to the name. Thank you for the hint.
Chick
I just speeded it up.
Stephen Singer
Yes, I appreciate that.
Tom
Do you know do that with people?
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom
You're somewhere and you go, wait a minute. What's that guy's name?
Stephen Singer
Oh, I have a girl named Zoe that works for me. I can't. I'm telling. Look, I'm trying to figure out. I gotta, like, do a dyslexic thing and start the other side.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Tom
And you. You nailed it.
Christy Lee
Was it Billy Gibbons?
Tom
Yeah, Billy Gibbons. The great band Z Story.
Chick
They told us about how they write songs. Frank sits across the room and Dusty and Billy start talking. And they don't try to keep their voice down, but they talk about lyrics to songs. And then they go over to Frank and ask them, what did you hear? And he always gets them kind of muddled up. And that's the way they write songs.
Tom
Interesting.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
That's fun, huh?
Tom
Wow.
Chick
Billy told us that. Remember? That's when they got mad about having the TV being on when they came back.
Tom
Yeah, yeah. But great band.
Josh
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
And awesome.
Tom
So. So here's another one. Once again, our guest is Stephen Singer from Stephen Singer Jewelers. And we're not just gonna let him sit here. We're gonna force him to show how smart he is. Who's singing this one? I think. I think you'll get this.
Chick
Freddy Cannon.
Stephen Singer
Oh, I know it right away.
Tom
One of the great songs of all time.
Stephen Singer
My favorite football team. Oh, yes.
Tom
I hadn't thought of that. Christie, do you know the name of the singer? He's already given you a pretty good hint.
Christy Lee
I know the band. Is it Don Henry Henley.
Tom
Very good.
Stephen Singer
Excellent.
Tom
And Mr. Henley will hit the drums any second here.
Chick
You know, it takes a while yet. Yes. Aren't they just Eagles? Yeah.
Tom
Yeah, yeah. Technically, there's no duh.
Chick
Right?
Tom
Yeah, they used to worry about that back in the day.
Josh
Steve Miller Band.
Chick
Yeah. And Eurythmics.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
Yeah, I just saw the Eagles. They are doing a. What do they call, residency in Vegas.
Stephen Singer
Oh, it's a sphere.
Tom
Have you seen that?
Stephen Singer
I haven't, but a friend of mine invited me to go see them.
Tom
Go.
Stephen Singer
I wanna. I really want to go.
Tom
That's Mr. Henley right there. It's a great show.
Stephen Singer
Yeah, they're. They are Great.
Christy Lee
They are great.
Tom
And Don has a couple pretty funny jokes he makes about the situation because.
Christy Lee
Joe Walsh makes some funny jokes.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Tom
Oh, Joe's amazing. But what's cool about the show is the Sphere, if you haven't heard about it. It's. It's a giant globe, and you're inside the globe. And they have. They have. They have a lot of sort of video stuff that they've put up. Some of it just traditional video of the band, but also they've had some new stuff, which is interesting because the Eagles were a band famous for this. They just get up on stage in their jeans. They didn't have to worry about costumes.
Christy Lee
Right.
Chick
So you're inside the Sphere when there's the shows on, Right? Okay.
Tom
It's a fair question.
Chick
No, no, you. You met. You. You actually. Actually felt compelled to tell everybody that you're inside because you're outside. You couldn't see the show.
Tom
Steven, I don't know if you've ever worked with a dick, but the torture that I go through.
Josh
Well, I do do video outside.
Tom
Yeah. There you. It's. It's really worth going. And I forget who the next. I want to say that the Eagles are there through March. I think they extended it.
Josh
I believe the next Sister Hay. Hazel is the next one.
Christy Lee
That's Coldplay is. Isn't it?
Chick
Nope, it's Sister Hazel.
Tom
Yeah.
Chick
They gave him a choice. Coldplay or Sister.
Tom
Coldplay is playing Vegas. I know, because I'm going, but I don't think it's at the Sphere.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Chick
You're going to see Coldplay.
Josh
I didn't know you were a fan.
Chick
I didn't know you were a.
Christy Lee
Girl.
Tom
Stephen. Did I mention that working with.
Josh
That's very funny.
Stephen Singer
Right.
Josh
But I love Gold plate.
Stephen Singer
You know what?
Chick
Oh, I love Coldplay.
Josh
Don't get me wrong.
Stephen Singer
You gotta have Chick go outside and look at the sign, see what it said. Bob and Tom, Right? This is Bob and Tom.
Tom
As I said earlier, name on show. Ergo, yes. My own coffee machine.
Chick
Oh, gosh. Don't make me stay home forever. Don't do that.
Tom
Yeah, I've already got several out of town, out of town concerts planned. I'm going to London, Mother.
Chick
Son of a.
Tom
This summer, and then I'm. I'm.
Chick
Who you taking to London with you? The old lady?
Tom
My girls. I may go to France. I don't know if I can work it out. Eric Clapton's playing in Paris.
Chick
Really?
Tom
He's not. He's not playing in the States.
Chick
You're Gonna go see Clapton, huh?
Tom
Well, Godwin and I went once to see Cream at.
Chick
You're gonna get on a list?
Tom
Oh, come on. I. Look, Eric has his issues, I know, but I. I just love his music, so. We'll see.
Chick
But yeah.
Tom
Now, once again, we're playing with Stephen Singer From I hate stevensinger.com. i'm gonna give you a tough one, Stephen.
Stephen Singer
All right.
Tom
Okay. Ready for this one?
Stephen Singer
I'm ready.
Tom
Okay. This guy is one of my favorites, The Bloodhound Gang. Once again, we're in the.
Josh
I do like that.
Tom
This one is. We're straying a little bit from what would be considered classic rock, I think.
Stephen Singer
Okay. Okay.
Tom
But you'll see.
Christy Lee
Classic.
Tom
Now, this is.
Chick
What you're listening to. Is every radio.
Josh
No kidding. Yeah, that was.
Tom
Yeah, that was a crossover hit for sure, with two great singers from kind of from different worlds.
Stephen Singer
Right. Anyone wanted this? Genesis. Phil Collins.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom
Phil Collins is that. You win now. But it's. You know, it was a Phil Collins solo piece. One with another guy.
Chick
I don't.
Josh
Is it Michael McDonald?
Tom
No.
Stephen Singer
No.
Tom
Who the hell is it?
Chick
Think of the elements. The dot of.
Tom
That's your hint? Earth, Wind and Fire is your hint.
Josh
Oh, I wouldn't know that.
Tom
It's the great Philip Bailey.
Stephen Singer
I wouldn't have known that. I wouldn't know.
Tom
He sings the cool high stuff with Earth, Wind and Fire. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
I'm a failed rock star. I'm a rock drummer from years ago.
Chick
Nice.
Stephen Singer
And, yeah, so I used to play that. It would be embarrassing if I couldn't remember them.
Tom
And Phil, of course, is also a great drummer.
Stephen Singer
Fantastic drummer. And I suck. So it's.
Tom
You know. Well, that's.
Stephen Singer
Hence, that's why I'm here with you.
Tom
Ergo, there is no Phil Collins jewelry.
Stephen Singer
Right.
Tom
And I hate Phil. Well, there probably isn't. I hate phil collins.com. for someone that just doesn't understand how music works. Well, let's. Should we continue our quiz?
Stephen Singer
Yeah, why not?
Chick
I can't think of any way to stop you.
Tom
Okay.
Stephen Singer
I hear radios turning off everywhere.
Chick
Baby.
Josh
Right in.
Tom
Here we go. Here we go. Okay.
Josh
One of the worst live performers.
Tom
One of the greatest live performers ever.
Christy Lee
The greatest guys ever.
Chick
He sits down the show.
Tom
He's. He's about to go on tour again.
Christy Lee
The new tour called let's Do It Again Tour. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Oh, my brain is so fried. Dyslexia. One of the most is. Autism is coming.
Tom
I'll give you a hint.
Stephen Singer
Alzheimer's.
Tom
When. When you were a young man.
Christy Lee
1976.
Stephen Singer
I know it.
Tom
Yeah. One of the most famous live albums of all time.
Stephen Singer
Oh, Peter Frampton.
Tom
Yes.
Stephen Singer
And I just saw him recently too. I could. If you hit the back of my head sometime, the answers will come out early.
Tom
I just.
Stephen Singer
My brain is just.
Josh
It happens every one of us all the time.
Christy Lee
We do it all the time.
Stephen Singer
He was great. I mean unbelievably great.
Josh
He is unbelievably just.
Stephen Singer
I just saw him at a very small venue in Philadelphia. You. And you know he's on his last tour because he.
Tom
He's got some. He's got some very serious medical.
Christy Lee
He keeps playing as long as he can play.
Stephen Singer
But Frampton Comes Alive is one of my favorite albums and he is fan fantastic.
Tom
Yeah. And also happens to be when people say who are the nicest people you have ever met that are very nice? Peter Frampton and believe it or not, Dolly Parton. Yeah. She's the nicest, greatest person you've asked that question.
Chick
What are the most different formats that you've ever purchased of one album? And I always said yellow Brick Road. But I think comes alive because I got the album and the eight track and the cassette and. And the digital download and he has an acoustic version and an acoustic version and I got the. I just recently got a brand new hunk of vinyl copy of it from like Sweden or something.
Tom
Peter. A few years ago Peter was on and he had just released some kind of like four track audio thing. And he goes, hey look, I apologize but I've got to send one more kid to college.
Josh
Had all of those songs on Frampton Comes Alive been studio. Been recorded in studio.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
Or were there any that were like just.
Chick
I don't think any of those were heard for the first time on Comes Alive. I don't think so.
Josh
Okay.
Tom
It's a very good question.
Chick
Do you feel like we do is kind of funny if you hear the studio version.
Josh
Yeah, yeah.
Chick
Compared. Right. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
And the studio version didn't sell well. The live is I. It was at least the best selling live album of all times. I don't know if it still is, but it was at one time.
Tom
I think the best song of all time now is Eric Clapton Unplugged.
Josh
Oh, really? That outsold.
Tom
And that's just been. I think it's the 30th anniversary and they're just re releasing it with some new cuts. We are talking music with Stephen Singer coming up. We've got some more great guests. A little bit of football chat with the great Joe Theisman, comedian Dustin Nickerson. Comedian Haywood Banks and more all coming up. Christie, you got any teasers over there?
Christy Lee
Yeah. The skincare brand Kiehl's has created a very interesting font that I think you're going to either love or hate gag.
Tom
Yeah. This is the weirdest story I think pretty much ever.
Christy Lee
Have you. Did you see it?
Tom
It's hideous. Yeah. Right. Now we go over to Chick McGee right over there at the sports desk. What's going on over there?

I find that I can't walk by the drum set without walking over one of the cymbals and giving it a ding.
Josh
Is that right?
Tom
But I'm not gonna buy another set of drums. So my question. What is the jewelry item that people look at the most and don't buy?
Stephen Singer
That don't buy.
Tom
Yeah. They walk in and they. And they might buy something, but they look at these, but they don't buy them.
Stephen Singer
Normally, things that people don't buy, we don't stock it. That many of them because it doesn't. It's not a very good marketing. Not a very good marketing tool. I will tell the one thing we have.
Chick
Oh, it's an awful, awful question. Go ahead.
Stephen Singer
We have a million dollar ring that we made for Taylor Swift. If she should get engaged, that we are offering her for free or for her lovely. Her handsome fiance or fiance to be. And if they want to pay for it, they insist on paying for it. We'll give the million dollar to charity. If not they could have the ring for free, although she's a billionaire. But anyway.
Tom
But can people look at it?
Stephen Singer
People can come in and try it on. They take pictures with, oh, there you go, that's you. We have like young girls, like SW and things that everybody, ever since it was on the news, I have like, I don't know, 20, 30 people a day that come in. They just want to try it on and see it and fantasize about, you know, what it is. And every once in a while I'll get somebody that comes up to the window and looks at. Can I just see that one? How much does that one. You don't want to see this one. The guy's looking for a ring for like $3,000. I go, this is. You don't really know. He goes, no, no, how much is it? A million bucks. And he goes, yeah, I don't want to see like the guy's going to heart attack. And then he looks at the three thousand dollar rings and then they walk out, leave. Because now everything looks like it fel. Chip, you know, I mean, so, wow.
Tom
What now Valentine's Day is. When is it? Christy?
Christy Lee
It's Friday, February 14th, three weeks from today.
Tom
Okay, so the clock is ticking, right? You got to get what percentage of. And I'm going to suggest that it's guys wait till the last couple of days.
Stephen Singer
I would say, and I'm not exaggerating, it's the last two or three days is 90% of the order. The last two or three days. And of that, that the last half hour or hour of free shipping in time for Valentine's Day is unbelievable. So we have to have hundreds of thousands of roads packed up, ready to go. Otherwise we could never meet the demand. Because so many people that guys are dumb and they forget, you know what I mean? This is number one. Like they'll go home and get a card at the drugstore or flower, you.
Tom
Know what I mean?
Stephen Singer
And they're idiots. They forget. And like Chrissy said, it's the same time every year. It's like Christmas, you know, it doesn't change. It's not like your birthday around. Everybody anniversary where you can forget it, you're an idiot. Everybody in the world's got it, you know what I mean? It's the one time in the. So anyway, so guys are really dumb now. Women nest. They buy stuff early, like Christmas, anything like that, they'll come. If a woman's gonna buy a bracelet for her husband or boyfriend, they're in like a month before two Months before they got it all set. It's wrapped everything. Guys are the last minute. I have hundreds of guys like lined up out the door like a week before they could have just walked in and got.
Tom
You know what I mean?
Stephen Singer
But, but they're are just dumb. Guys are just. I know. I'm dumb too. I, I, you know, I do the same thing. You just forget and you don't get this together. My wife has everything lined up perfect.
Josh
Yeah, I always like grocery shopping on, on Valentine's Day because the seeing how many guys are walking out with the floors.
Christy Lee
Oh yeah.
Stephen Singer
Oh, yeah, yeah. Where's your floor? Supermarket. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Nice. The highest quality.
Tom
Yeah. Maybe you should just have a box on your website at I hate stevensinger.com if you're an idiot. Check here.
Stephen Singer
Yes.
Tom
And then it, then it automatically does it. Okay. And I think speaking of idiots, have we got this sorted out? Okay, there we go. We've got got Jeff, give me a test.
Josh
Jeff, can you hear me now?
Tom
Yes.
Josh
Oh, my goodness. Oh, Mr. Singer. Hi, I'm Jeff Oskay.
Stephen Singer
The number one rule of radio, you got to be able to hear you.
Josh
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Are geniuses.
Josh
I'm a. I don't know how to work stuff.
Stephen Singer
And you're. Well, you're calling from so far away too. Well, what country are you in?
Josh
I'm just at the failed dimension news desk and I failed to mention newsroom. You were talking engagement rings, which. Thank you. When my lady heard you were coming on, she put together a cart full of Stephen Singer engagement rings that she wanted.
Stephen Singer
Perfect.
Josh
And reminded me that We've been together 10 years and now would be a good time to pull the.
Stephen Singer
10 years you're together.
Josh
Yes, we are.
Stephen Singer
How many, how many years? Happy?
Josh
All 10.
Stephen Singer
All 10.
Josh
Oh, she's the best I've ever been with. That's why I don't want to ruin it with a marriage. Anyway, a lot of the news each week. We don't give you all the news. So I'm here to give you the news that we failed to mention.
Chick
Now here's Jeff Oskay with failed to mention news.
Josh
A mother found marijuana in their bag of Burger King after pulling away from the drive thru. Well, you failed to mention. Good on you, lady. I can't even get them to put napkins in my sack. A doctor performed his own own vasectomy and filmed it. Well, you failed to mention. That's nothing. I gave myself a vasectomy using only a how to video off YouTube and a soldering iron. Oh, yeah. I'LL find out if it takes next one. A woman busted five watermelons using only her thighs in one minute. Well, you failed to mention. I guess we know who's bringing the fruit salad this year to the family. A mother made a tick tock saying that two of her toddlers accidentally ate some of graham grandpa's ashes by mistake. Well, you failed to mention. Hey mom, a little less tick tock it little more supervising your children. A woman in love with her chat GPT boyfriend has programmed the bot to be sweet and in every every sentence with an emoji. Well, you failed to mention emojis at the end of every text. I'm not sure what this lady is looking for, but it's definitely not a man. Fishermen were forced to beat off a shark using a broom while trying to hole in a gigantic tuna. Well, you failed to mention. Don't let the other sharks find out. They all want some.
Chick
True enough.
Josh
A town is upset at a proposed new neighborhood that they insist is shaped like a penis.
Tom
What?
Josh
You failed to mention the new peni shaped neighborhood will house only HOA presidents. And finally, a woman demands $200 a month from her husband as a monthly woman tax for having to deal with having babies and her period each month. Well, you failed to mention. I wonder if he can write these bitch bucks off on his taxes.
Haywood Banks
I'm Jay Foskin.
Josh
This has been the news of the failed dimension. Failed to mention Mitch Box.
Tom
Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Jeff Oskay. Coming up, we're gonna hang out with Steven Singer. We're gonna hang out with comedian Dustin Nickerson. We're gonna hang out with Joe Theisman. And we're gonna hang out with Haywood Banks. Next, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Dustin Nickerson
Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob.
Chick
And Tom show this morning.
Tom
Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel. Know for a moment.
Chick
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. At the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hello, Chick.
Chick
Ready for the outdoors?
Christy Lee
Yes, I am.
Chick
And there's Josh Arnold at the I hate Steven Singer, sidekick, chair, shickster. Ready for the outdoors indeed. There's Ace Cosby, indoor dressed in black, possibly a cat burglar, I'm not sure. Chick Magee and Tom, introduce our special guests, will you?
Tom
In the studio we've got a couple guests, as a matter of fact, the guy with the very long white hair trying to prove to his late mother that she's not the boss of him.
Josh
You rebel.
Dustin Nickerson
You read my mail.
Tom
It's Heywood Banks, and he is sitting next to Steven Singer From I hate stephensinger.com. and we don't dislike Mr. Singer. It says that's the name of his website. You see, because other Jewish. You know what I'm talking about.
Stephen Singer
If anybody's watching on the premium, it looks like Simon and Garfunkel. We look like a little bit like after a bad acid trip or something.
Tom
Yeah. Looks like Garfunkel really let himself go.
Stephen Singer
Yeah, well, the hair, you know, it happens.
Tom
Well, it's, it's good to see you, Haywood. And it's good to see you, Mr. Singer. Now, before we move on, have we, have we finished our sports broadcast?
Chick
Yes, sir, we have.
Tom
Okay. Okay. And we do have a bet going with Philadelphia Eagles fan Mr. Singer and Washington Football Club fan, Mr. Chick Magee.
Chick
I have Washington, he has Philadelphia. And in case you missed it, I'm taking points this week. I like Washington plus the six, Buffalo plus the two. I think this is the year the Chiefs lose at Arrowhead and Buffalo heads to the super bowl against probably Philadelphia, I would think.
Dustin Nickerson
We'll see.
Tom
That's why they play the game. Now, we were talking with Stephen Singer about Valentine's Day. It's just around the corner. Hey. What? I don't know if you've prepared yourself for Valentine's Day. It's. It's on a Friday. Yeah.
Chick
I believe his intended is in the break room.
Dustin Nickerson
I, I actually buy flowers for my wife regularly. Just as a preemptive strike, you know.
Chick
What do we know about that? Christy? Men who buy flowers for their wives for no reason. For no reason.
Christy Lee
They're having an affair.
Tom
Yes.
Chick
Bingo.
Stephen Singer
Wow.
Tom
Yeah, I would say unlikely. Let's go weigh in here on your.
Christy Lee
Side in Haywood's case.
Chick
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Really?
Tom
Now, Haywood is currently on two tour and he's stopping by because it's my understanding we have a new song. Do you have it going into the Haywood Banks repertoire? Do you have any songs that are referencing jewelry?
Dustin Nickerson
Well, ex.
Tom
Well, I guess there might be a.
Dustin Nickerson
Small reference of my new song, which.
Tom
In your new song.
Dustin Nickerson
Play something before that.
Tom
Okay. What do you want to play? Why do you want to start?
Dustin Nickerson
Well, I, I, I just saw the. Went to the movie last week. Saw the new Bob Dylan.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Good movie.
Dustin Nickerson
I, I hadn't been moved in a long time.
Christy Lee
Huh?
Dustin Nickerson
I've never actually, I, and they've, they changed all the seats. I've, I've never watched a movie In a hospital bed before. It's really.
Tom
It's.
Dustin Nickerson
It's terrific, you know, looking between my feet and you know, the. With a place to hang the urine bag underneath yours now.
Christy Lee
They do recline now.
Tom
So did you like the movie?
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, it was tremendous. You know, just the sheer volume of songs she put out. Like all these hits.
Tom
I was like, oh my gosh.
Dustin Nickerson
All hooky great songs. Well, I. Which reminded me of my. My Bob Dylan tribute that I wrote. Everybody on the radio that sings like this needs to cut Bob Dylan a check. I don't care if it's folk or rock or rap or pop or tag. No, no matter if you're center stage at the arena or just some three chord hack. If you're singing like your throat is sore. Time to cut Bob Dylan a check. It's $30 for a HE, 60 for a and a 73. But these prices don't include Volka polyps, setup and mechanical fees. Now if you want to use the Nashville Skyline. Hey, that's quite all right. Cause no one ever picked up on that. But Pee Wee Herman and Dudley do, right? Mr. Springsteen, Mr. Cougar, Mr. Knopfler, Ms. Ether, John, Sheryl Crow. How about crack in that checkbook and send old Bob some dough? Now Jacob, he is old Bob's son so I, I guess he can pass. But every now and then when he comes home Would it kill him to cut the grass? And it's a $30 for a $60 for a baby 73. These prices don't include vocal polyps, setup and mechanical fees. Now if you want to use the Nashville Skyline, yeah, that's a quite alright. Cause no one ever picked up on that. But Pee Wee Herman and Dudley do, right. Everybody on the radio that sings like this Needs to cut Bob Dylan a check. I don't care if it's folk or rock or rock. Apple, Papa Tech, no, no matter if you're center stage at the arena or park bench busker man, how about cracking that checkbook? And pay up to Robert Zimmerman.
Tom
All right. Beautiful tribute to Bob Dylan. I particularly enjoy the Nashville Skyline reference.
Dustin Nickerson
That is so Dudley do right now.
Tom
Thank you very much. Haywood Banks is our guest. Also in the studio we have Stephen Singer from Steven Singer Jewelers. We've already done the. The test of famous singers. I thought we'd do one more if you don't mind.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom
We're putting them on the spot. Anyone can play because your name is Singer.
Stephen Singer
I'm sure I'm also a rock star.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
Yes.
Stephen Singer
There you Go. I got both.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Oh, very good. The Rocks are Diamonds.
Chick
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
There you have. My wife, when she was young, she always wished she would become a singer, and she married me. She can't sing for a lick, so it was a cruel joke.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Now, she also wanted a fur coat that would touch the floor, so I had her legs amputated.
Tom
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Now you're in Asia's territory.
Chick
Wow.
Josh
No, no, I laughed at that.
Tom
The famous Elaine Boosler, comedian. Her joke was her boyfriend tried to convince her that zirconium was her birthstone.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
Here we go. Okay, Famous Singers. I think this is a pretty easy one. Here we go. All right, ready? Okay. Christy? Anyone?
Stephen Singer
I know who it is. Come on. It's Andy Williams.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom
Very good. Now, do you know what movie that's from?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
What's the topic again?
Stephen Singer
Famous singers.
Chick
Oh, famous singers.
Christy Lee
Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Chick
I thought rock and roll was in here somewhere, but.
Tom
Well, no, we, we, we, we did.
Dustin Nickerson
Some famous rock wider than a kilometer. I'll test it with a thermometer someday.
Tom
Thank you very much.
Stephen Singer
Thank you very much.
Tom
Now, we were talking with Stephen about. About jewelry and Valentine's Day.
Chick
Wasn't that from the Giraffe Neck Girl movie?
Christy Lee
Yeah, it's Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Chick
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Right.
Josh
One of the most gorgeous women ever.
Chick
All three feet a neck.
Dustin Nickerson
Wow.
Josh
Well, the more to hickey up.
Chick
Yes. Now she's always swallowing.
Tom
Is there a. This is another dumb question. And you're welcome. Is there a seasonality to which type of jewelry people get? In other words, is there a. Is there a Valentine's Day thing that's number one as opposed to, I would think, hearts?
Chick
And then Christmas themed would be.
Josh
What do you mean? Rings, bracelets?
Tom
Yeah, I mean, do you sell more earrings at Christmas time or what. What's the. What's the.
Stephen Singer
Well, the only things I could tell you that are seasonal are the obvious and some dumb stuff. The obvious is Christmas and Valentine's Day. We sell the most engaging rings because people want to be cheap and get two gifts for one. But no, people are in love. And, you know, it's. It's like New Year's Christmas, Valentine's Day.
Tom
So the most engagement rings, what, in December?
Stephen Singer
Valentine's Day is number one. Christmas and New Year's number two. Like that. And I mean, we sell all year round, but that's. That's when most people get engaged. That's the predominantly some. There's also a lot of spring engagements or spring weddings. But then the other thing is which is like, you know, anklets and things we sell a lot in the summer. People want to, you know, wear that in the summer, that type of stuff. And other than that, it's just whatever the style or the tr.
Tom
In the summer you can see their legs.
Stephen Singer
Exactly.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom
I guess like last week, probably not big for you. Yeah. Zero degrees freezes to your ankle.
Christy Lee
You don't want to wear it.
Tom
I don't care.
Chick
I'm wearing my new anklets. I don't care.
Tom
I don't care. Now, how do you popular with UPS guys, though?
Dustin Nickerson
They like to wear their shorts all the time.
Josh
Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom
A lot of that's a big thing. Thing. Even when it's freezing cold.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Tom
Crazy. Yeah.
Dustin Nickerson
Is there a big president's birthday rush?
Stephen Singer
Yes, we sell a lot of beers.
Dustin Nickerson
A lot of beers.
Josh
Interesting.
Tom
Yes, that's very interesting.
Dustin Nickerson
You have a diamond mattress use.
Stephen Singer
Absolutely.
Josh
Do you sell tow rings?
Stephen Singer
We do, but they're not.
Chick
Not very popular.
Stephen Singer
No.
Josh
Yeah.
Tom
How about tow ropes?
Stephen Singer
You know, if you have a store near the beach, like a jewelry store near the beach.
Tom
Yeah.
Stephen Singer
A lot of to.
Tom
Now I have. This is another dumb question. Forgive me. Obviously the earrings have the spear in them. What are those called?
Stephen Singer
The post.
Tom
Thank you.
Chick
Yeah. The tiny spear.
Tom
Are those the ones that are used, let's say, for example, in the nipple area? Is that a different thing?
Stephen Singer
Yes, it is.
Josh
Yeah. Most nipple rings do not have a post.
Christy Lee
No. They use a hoop.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Josh
Or a stud.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom
All right. Okay. So you can't. You can't use them for both.
Stephen Singer
No, no, no.
Tom
They're not interchangeable.
Stephen Singer
No.
Tom
She's. She's getting ready for the evening. Honey, why don't you swap? Put those up there. Okay. I'm just asking. These are all fair questions. Coming up, we're going to talk with Joe Theisman. We're going to talk with comedian Dustin Nickerson. We're going to get a new song out of Haywood Banks in a few minutes and we'll find out what else is going on. What.

Tom
Don't you love saying that?
Chick
What?
Tom
This has been Chick Magee's speaking.
Chick
This has been speaking.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
I don't think I'd ever say it. Seriously, I hope, I hope I wouldn't. I hope I wouldn't work for somewhere that would make me do that. He's making a regular radio station. I'd lose my mind.
Tom
In the studio, we have a couple of guests where we're going to be talking with comedian Dustin Nickerson. Hey, Dustin. Good to see you, sir.
Haywood Banks
Hey, thanks for having me. It's an honor. Appreciate this.
Tom
And we have the man himself, Stephen Singer From I hate stevensinger.com the jeweler singer. Now, Dustin, right off the bat, I gotta find out, are you a married guy, single guy?
Haywood Banks
I'm married. I'm married with three children.
Tom
Whoa.
Haywood Banks
Three old children. I have teenagers and young children. Yeah. Three old children.
Tom
How young is the youngest?
Haywood Banks
Ten.
Stephen Singer
Okay.
Haywood Banks
It's been pretty vague. For eight years. They don't. They just, the birthdays just keep, keep happening. It's crazy.
Chick
You kind of lose interest, don't you?
Haywood Banks
Yeah, Yeah, I do hate that. I know, like, when I, like, they're like, when's your daughter's birthday? I'm like the youngest. I know that one.
Stephen Singer
The.
Haywood Banks
I don't. The middle. I don't know. But I can tell you when pitchers and catchers report.
Chick
Just, just a couple weeks. Yeah.
Tom
Yeah. Exactly.
Haywood Banks
Yeah. Well, I'm a Seattle Mariners fan. I'm very excited, but excited season we have ahead of us, so.
Tom
Oh, yeah, I, I just had a birthday. One of my girls.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you're. You didn't, but two days ago.
Tom
Yeah, I can remember hers easily because it's my quarter birthday.
Josh
Oh, okay.
Tom
Wow.
Chick
Quarter. You, you, you keep track of quarter.
Josh
I'm sure his daughters do.
Tom
She's January 22nd and then I'm April 22nd. So that's. But then the rest of them, I got to really dig deep to remember them.
Haywood Banks
Yeah, that is, that's, that's a lot of, A lot of self centeredness there. I love that. That's in a good way. I mean that it says, like, I can't remember your birthday, but if it's a quarter of mine.
Tom
Yes.
Haywood Banks
Then I'll remember yours.
Tom
I love it.
Haywood Banks
That's the same with me. I remember my middle kid because it's near mine, because, you know, at the end of the day, it's about me.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
Oh, yeah.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Tom
Where's.
Haywood Banks
Where are your comedy club dates, honey?
Josh
Yeah, exactly.
Tom
It's also important to know your own birthday in case you have to go into the hospital. I just had a little bit of surgery on Monday and I had to give my birthday about 50 times.
Haywood Banks
Yeah, it's a little bit of. I just, I just did 40 this year before I hit 40. And we did a birthday party and this is the last one that I get for a while, I think, because, like, birthdays are less significant. I've realized as you get older, like every. When you're young, you get. With our kids, we give them every year, 1, 2, 3, 4, and then 20. You should get like every five years, like 21.
Tom
Cool.
Haywood Banks
25. You get a full brain can. Congrats. 30, 35, 40, nobody cares till 50, 60, 70. And then I realized at 70, you get it every year again. Right now, 71, I'm like, oh, you're still alive. That's great.
Tom
They're fading very quickly. We're speaking with comedian Dustin Nickerson. Among these stops, he will be at the Comedy Works in Denver. Coming up just around the corner. Also the Helium comedy club in St. Louis and Columbia, Missouri, at the Blue Note, just around the corner. Now, Steven Singer, Birthstones. Is that a big birthday thing to people?
Stephen Singer
Is that birthstones? And we have 24 karat golden roses and birthstones as well. Yes, yes. We sell both very, very big things.
Tom
What's the biggest. What is the biggest item of jewelry people purchase for birthdays? Typically?
Stephen Singer
Well, September is sapphire, so that's a big one. April's diamond. That's a big one. But just usually a pendant or earrings is typically. I mean, sometimes it's rings, but usually it's a pendant or earrings.
Tom
Are guys smart enough to.
Stephen Singer
No, there's nothing the guys are smart about. Guys are idiots. They are. They are just unbelievable. And when it comes to jewelry, they're really, really dumb. So it's. If a woman's smart, she comes in, fills out a wish list, and she has all the things that she likes, or she does it online. You can do it online. It gives them a nice hint as to what that is.
Christy Lee
A good idea.
Stephen Singer
Then the guy can say, good, I want something for this price or that price, or, I need a little stocking stuffer. I want a little Valentine's Day gift. And if the woman's really smart, she'll say, hey, we have a daughter. You know, you got to get your daughter a little something, get her this and this, and makes the guy look like I'm an idiot. So my wife. My wife tunes.
Tom
It's bad if the first line is wish list someone else.
Haywood Banks
Yeah, that's what I was saying. My wife's list is husband that can afford jewelry.
Tom
Now you're touring around. You're friends with our good friend, comedian Greg Warren.
Haywood Banks
Greg Warren, Yeah, he's a regular here. The. The Greg is. Greg and I met touring with Bergazi, and, uh, he's, uh. Yeah, Nate's great. Or Nate's great. I don't know if you guys have heard of. He's got a bright future. Keep an eye on that guy.
Tom
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Coming to a. An arena near you.
Tom
Yeah. Nate first came in here. He was playing one of the small clubs, and I just remember it was fascinating that his father is a magician.
Christy Lee
Yes. His father's on tour right now, as a matter of fact.
Haywood Banks
I love it.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
I was talking to Nate recently. I was like, I don't know where they're gonna put you anymore. The venues are, like, at a certain point, are we just gonna put you in a field like a Woodstock? Yeah, like a Gettysburg Address. We don't actually build structures that can hold this amount of people. So just go over there and a while. So. Yeah, but Greg's a friend, and I'll see him in a couple weeks when I'm in St. Louis there. He's great. Very funny guy. And, you know, we don't really care for him.
Josh
We just.
Haywood Banks
I love, I love to tell him that I, I. He has that wrestling isn't as impressive as he thinks it is and, and it is a very impressive sport, but it irritates him and I enjoy that.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
Good, good.
Chick
I've told him before that even wrestling at the college level level is fake.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
And he, he really gets your.
Josh
And you're not saying it's not athletic.
Tom
No, it's just fake.
Chick
They have to know what they're doing so they don't get hurt.
Tom
I virtually never fail to remind him that he has a cauliflower ear.
Haywood Banks
Yes. Yeah, yeah. I mean, how can you miss it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's very.
Tom
He wears the headphones. I ask him to take them off.
Chick
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Well, it looks like he's wearing headphones, but he's not wearing it.
Chick
Is upset.
Haywood Banks
They wear it so proudly.
Tom
I have a question for you. Is Dustin Nickerson your actual real name?
Haywood Banks
Yes. Yeah, it is.
Tom
But were your parents fans of Dustin Hoffman?
Haywood Banks
So, yeah, that is. My mom wanted to name me Sterling and my dad cared about my future. My dad didn't want to create a Boy Named sue type situation, if you get that Johnny Cash reference. But it's. He pushed for Dust Dustin, and then my mom left when I was five, so thank goodness my dad really, you know, put his foot down on the name.
Tom
So this happens to be a fun story.
Haywood Banks
Glad I brought it up.
Tom
Because that's. It just. It's kind of an unusual name. But it didn't. I'd never heard it until, I guess, the movie the Graduate and.
Chick
Oh, really?
Josh
Dustin wasn't that widespread before Dustin Hoffman.
Haywood Banks
It still isn't.
Chick
I can't see anybody in Tom's crowd when he was a teenager being named Dustin or Dusty.
Josh
I've grown up with Dustin's my whole life.
Tom
I guess that's why I think it was one of those things Dustin Hoffman made famous.
Christy Lee
I grew up with one too, so.
Tom
But I think Sterling, I mean, Sterling.
Christy Lee
Hayden is the only nurse. My nurse. My niece has a son named Sterling.
Tom
That's great.
Josh
I think it's a cool name.
Tom
My. When I. When naming children, which I've done many, many times, I use the Supreme Court justice rule.
Haywood Banks
Okay.
Tom
You know what I'm saying? You want, you want, you want a name that's going to sound like it could be. Although that's.
Haywood Banks
Oh, I see.
Tom
Rapidly changing.
Christy Lee
Yes, it is.
Tom
But Sterling Nickerson, that sounds absolute like a Supreme Court justice.
Haywood Banks
Yeah, that does have a bit of vibrance to it. Listen, I'll change if it'll help sell these late shows, I'll do whatever it takes.
Tom
Now do you mind if I ask the names of your children?
Haywood Banks
No, not at all. My. My children's names are Joel, Gloria, and Claire. We wanted names that were unique, but not too unique. We weren't. And we're like. We're not like the, like era of parents. Like, my kid's name is Mist. You know, like, we wanted, like, some. Something fairly in the normal range, but, like, stood out a little bit. Not unlike a Dustin, where you're like. I've seen it. I know how to pronounce it, you know, but at least there's hopefully there.
Tom
My.
Haywood Banks
My wife's a Melissa, and so that's. There are a million Melissa.
Christy Lee
So Gloria's an interesting.
Josh
Those are great names, Gloria.
Haywood Banks
Thank you. Appreciate that. Glory was. Gloria was more unique when we lived in Seattle. And then we live 15 minutes from the Mexican border. More glorious down there. There's a lot more glorious.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's it. Interesting.
Tom
And. And neck tattoos.
Haywood Banks
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Well, let's say Gloria, actually.
Tom
Yeah. Now, we have a little test going on here. Anyone is welcome to participate because our guest is named Stephen Singer. So we thought we would see if we could get Stephen to identify some singers for us.
Josh
You did think?
Tom
Yeah. Huh. Because I think that normally when Mr. Singer goes to visit other radio stations, they just kiss ass. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
There's normally not a test study for the show.
Chick
I don't want to speak for Stephen, but I think he enjoys some of that.
Tom
Well, I'm sorry. That's not what's happening right now.
Chick
Okay.
Tom
This is. This is an easy one, I think. I think you're gonna get this. Don't be embarrassed if you don't, but it would be humiliating.
Dustin Nickerson
Here we.
Tom
Here we go. Here we go.
Dustin Nickerson
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know.
Tom
I know, I know, I know.
Stephen Singer
I would say that's one. Mr. Bill Withers.
Tom
Yes. Yes. Bonus round. Mr. Withers was in what division of the American military?
Haywood Banks
Space Force.
Chick
Exactly.
Tom
Correct. Space Force is incorrect. And that actually made my stomach hurt. I'm laughing so hard, I have my stomach's glued together right now.
Josh
Surgery recently?
Tom
Yes. Oh, sorry. Yeah, that did hurt. Coast Guard would be the correct answer.
Chick
Okay, one more song for Steven. Here we go. We're gonna hit you with a little Lorelei. No, sure. And this is the right speed.
Tom
Yeah.
Chick
People like this song.
Tom
This is what got this band a record. Country.
Chick
The story is they played it, like, 10 times in a row on wood LS or something. I think Land Decker did that.
Josh
You're gonna like this.
Tom
You're gonna like this. I love this band, but not this. This song is not my favorite.
Chick
When he stops singing, that's all right.
Josh
Yeah, this part's cool.
Tom
Hey, now, who wants to guess? Christy, you know who it is.
Christy Lee
I know it is. Is it Dennis DeYoung?
Tom
It is Dennis DeYoung. The band is Sticks. Yep. Very good. Very good, Very good.
Christy Lee
Oh, I know. Rock stars.
Chick
What was the. What was the review of one of the six albums in Rolling Stone, I believe.
Tom
Oh, yeah. They had a live album, and the review was the word.
Chick
Because Sticks was spelled S, T, Y.
Tom
X, as in the River Styx. And the review was S, T, Y, N, X.
Haywood Banks
Apparently.
Josh
Forget that Rolling Stone used to talk about music.
Chick
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Remember those days.
Tom
Okay. Very good.
Chick
Not just Fashion.
Tom
All right, how about this one? Ready? Okay. Once again, we're testing Mr. Steven Singer because he knows all about jewelry. Well, that's nice, but what do you know about singers? Here we go. Okay. There you go.
Stephen Singer
Can I phone a friend?
Christy Lee
He just had a birthday.
Stephen Singer
Can I poll the audience? What are my choices?
Tom
Your hint is you share the first name.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Chick
Oh, yeah.
Stephen Singer
I have no idea.
Christy Lee
Stephen Perry.
Stephen Singer
Oh, yeah. Journey.
Josh
He was a little rat guy.
Stephen Singer
Asian guy, that has the same exact voice now in the band.
Josh
Yes.
Stephen Singer
Replaced him. And he had a rodent look to him. He kind of does.
Josh
He looks like a little San Francisco Giants game.
Tom
Here's that giant rat, and he's wearing a baseball cap.
Chick
Look at that.
Tom
Yeah, I. I think. I think he was kind.
Christy Lee
He was cute.
Tom
He was kind of like, he could be in the mob to me. Really got nice long hair.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
They would call him Rat Boy.
Stephen Singer
He's a guy. If you see him from behind, he looks like a girl because you see the long hair and he turns right.
Tom
Whoa.
Josh
I love that he has owned. When he's at those Giants games and he comes to. I mean, he's, like, in the upper decks, and he's just singing with the crowd.
Tom
He's great.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
Hey, Rat, give me another drink, will you?
Tom
Yeah, he's got a couple really good solo records. Here we go. One more here. Once again, we're testing singers here.
Josh
Well, this is no good.
Dustin Nickerson
Immediately.
Chick
It's awesome.
Christy Lee
You picked this one.
Tom
Huh?
Christy Lee
Nothing.
Tom
Yes, I did pick this one. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Nobody knows it.
Tom
Okay. No one. Anyone.
Josh
Of course.
Tom
Anyone open except.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
Okay. Mr. Nickerson, do you know who that is? No.
Haywood Banks
I'm sorry.
Tom
I'm sorry. Thanks for coming.
Haywood Banks
My apologies.
Christy Lee
I don't know who it is.
Stephen Singer
Is.
Christy Lee
And I've been.
Tom
Yes. You do?
Christy Lee
I do.
Haywood Banks
Are we allowed to get hints? Are there a little hint?
Chick
He's white.
Haywood Banks
He's white.
Josh
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Great. Space Force. I don't know.
Chick
You might misspell his last name as a nut.
Tom
He has a famous brother.
Josh
He was married to share.
Chick
Had a famous brother.
Haywood Banks
Yeah.
Chick
Okay, well, he's too. Yeah.
Stephen Singer
Greg Almond.
Tom
Yes.
Stephen Singer
No, a Greg Almond couldn't play.
Haywood Banks
I. I was gonna say Frank Stallone.
Tom
Stormy Monday.
Haywood Banks
It's not Frank Stallone.
Tom
What is it? Ace?
Josh
Stormy Monday.
Christy Lee
Yeah. I've never heard the song before.
Tom
They call it Stormy Monday. It's a class you might like.
Josh
Did you like just that little snippet?
Chick
All right.
Christy Lee
Is that an Allman Brothers tune?
Tom
Yeah. Allman Brothers Live. Yeah. It's great.
Josh
Ten minutes long.
Tom
Oh, well, that.
Josh
Is that a cover?
Tom
Yes. Yeah, I was gonna say it's an old bluestone.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it sounds like an old.
Tom
Okay. All right, now, this is. Now we're gonna. Once Again, we're testing Mr. Steven Singer. Mr. Steven Singer. To see if he doesn't look at his face.
Josh
He's so bored and angry.
Stephen Singer
I feel like I'm taking a hearing test. I got raised my left hand up.
Tom
And my right hand up.
Stephen Singer
Each time something happens. It's wonderful. Okay, here we go.
Tom
This. This is a tough one. This is a tough one. I. I will admit it.
Stephen Singer
Okay.
Chick
I like big.
Haywood Banks
Oh, I know this one.
Tom
Okay. You know who it is?
Haywood Banks
I know Seattle. That's Sir Mix A. Yep.
Josh
Can you tell us what year he was knighted?
Haywood Banks
Strangely, before that song. Actually, people don't realize that now. It was. It was 1984. Very weird.
Tom
Well, he did a lot of social work.
Haywood Banks
Yeah. People don't know that. He was. Yeah, he was known for his charity work in the Manchester area from Seattle. Yeah. Also that was a little closer to my era of music.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom
Okay.
Christy Lee
Because you're not.
Tom
So who is your.
Stephen Singer
You know that, but you don't know your children's names.
Tom
Yes. Okay.
Haywood Banks
I said my kids names.
Tom
All right. It's their birthdays. He doesn't.
Haywood Banks
All right, cool it, jewelry boy.
Stephen Singer
That's right, boy.
Haywood Banks
Right.
Tom
Now, what was your note? Seattle, of course, famous for the grunge scene. You're probably of that era. Yeah.
Haywood Banks
A little on the tail end of it. Like the, like. So cobain died in 94. So I. And I was like 10 at the time. But so that kind of next era, like, obviously Pearl Jam and, you know, Soundgarden were all still big and stuff in the scene, and their legacy has gone on and stuff. But some like the kind of the punk and the rock era. Right.
Tom
So who's your favorite band? If you have a favorite.
Haywood Banks
My favorite band of all time. I mean, there's certainly an argument for Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam, you know. Yes. As a local, you're. You're a big fan.
Tom
Sure.
Christy Lee
They're good.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Yeah. They've withstood the test of time as well. Also, big fan of the Foo Fighters. That came, like, right after. So I, like, for the record, I. Every song you played, I had some familiarity with, like, it wasn't that outdated that I was like, who?
Chick
Who?
Tom
Like, oh, if you want outdated, you're in the right place.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
I couldn't tell you the name of the singer, but sure sticks. I've heard of that.
Tom
Yeah. Very, very good. Very good. We're hanging out with comedian Dustin Nickerson.

Joe is one of his favorite people and of course, his team and Chick's team in action against Philadelphia coming up.

Two generations of comedy.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I was gonna say.
Tom
And we've learned that Dustin is the father of three.
Haywood Banks
Three children. Yes. I don't know if we still call them children at that age. They don't feel like children. The 17 year old is just a smelly man. Roommate that I have. Yeah. I don't, I don't care for his company.
Tom
Good to know. High school.
Stephen Singer
Still high school.
Joe Theisman
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
He's a senior. He's actually, he's a wonderful kid. I think he's going to be a college athlete. He's fantastic. He's a runner. He's great. But yeah, at a certain point you're just like, what is this extra man doing here? I don't, I don't care for this. I don't, No, I don't. I don't want you here. We always were like you were gonna, we'll pay for two years of your school. Maybe you'll do two. And now I get it now like as a, once your kid becomes a senior, you're like, I'm willing to go $120,000 into debt to get you out of my home. That seems like a good deal.
Tom
Honestly, Good price. Yeah, Very, very much worth it. Now, we have Haywood banks across the way. Now this is my understanding is you have a brand new song. Is that correct?
Dustin Nickerson
New.
Tom

Tom
Yeah, that was a big deal. They made. They made the rules. It only has to be the one name.
Chick
I feel like they are trying to get away with something.
Josh
I do too.
Chick
Right? Yeah, yeah.
Josh
Especially if it's who is Roosevelt. Well, actually, they will, won't they? Go, oh, there's more than one.

Chick
Just take those old records.
Josh
I know this.
Stephen Singer
Tom Cruise sliding in his underwear. Yes. Yeah, he played that in his underwear. I remember now.
Tom
Do you remember who sang it? One of the greats. Certainly your hint is I'm so bad pressure.
Chick
Michigan native, Silver Bullet, bad dance answer.
Stephen Singer
I just. You know what? I could do this without being under pressure. I could give you all these answers.
Tom
You're gonna get pressure.
Stephen Singer
I can't do it. I would lose the ten thousand dollar pyramid immediately.
Josh
I remember seeing clips of Risky Business. Yeah. Then finding out it was about a teenager who built a house in his own home.
Haywood Banks
Yeah.
Josh
Oh my God. I just thought it was.
Chick
And a teenager had sex on the subway with a prostitute.
Christy Lee
The hell kind of movie is this was 18. Come on.
Chick
I don't know if he won. I don't know if he won.
Tom
The larger point is it's a great song.
Chick
Thank you.
Tom
Okay, here we go. You're going to get this one, Steven. Okay, this is an easy one.
Chick
You don't bring me flower Rock and roll.
Christy Lee

Chick
Yeah. Hardly talk to me anymore when I.
Dustin Nickerson
Come through the door at the end.
Stephen Singer
Of course I know this one.
Josh
Sure.
Stephen Singer
This is Neil diamond, right?
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
See, I, I, I was just setting you up here because you've got, you got diamonds, you've got flowers. And what is the number one gift for Valentine's Day?
Stephen Singer
Well, if your name is Sterling, it's sterling silver, I guess. No, it's. If I don't know the, this beautiful, magnificent, phenomenal ombre rose that goes from a lovely blue to green color. It's called peacock teal.
Tom
And it's right over there. That's from Steven Singer Jewelers.
Stephen Singer
That will last forever with free shipping and a beautiful little custom love note of your own. You put your own love note in? Looks like you really did something. It's in script. It almost looks like you wrote it yourself. And if you're really dumb, we have like whole cheat sheet, like 50 of them. You could just pick one nice. And just put fill in the names.
Tom
No, we don't like to say that you're an idiot if you're a guy, but we just. No, no, not you, sir. Oh, but we've kind of established the fact that men are idiots.
Stephen Singer
What if we make it easy? We make them look smarter.
Chick
What if this significant? She says. I can't believe you wrote me that unbelievable note. That was so kind. What made you think of that? I got it out of the catalog.
Tom
So fellas, don't give it away. Steven Singer Jewelers is the place we're going to talk more about Stephen. Now we've talked with other guests. Dustin Nickerson about his favorite music Favorite TV shows.
Haywood Banks
Oh, the. Let's see. I grew up Ice Road Trucker. I mean, sure, I didn't know if that was. If that was slander at me or that show, but it seems like a fine program.
Chick
Fine show. Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Me and my. My favorite show of all time is the Larry Sanders Show.
Stephen Singer
Oh, yeah, That's a great.
Haywood Banks
Watch it constantly. But, you know, you know, my. I'll represent my era a little bit. We like, you know, Brooklyn Nine. Nine's great. The Office is great. You know, there's been some fine programming here and there. The reality is, is I'm a parent. So we put on eight minutes of a show we've watched before and then we fall asleep. So it just gotta get. Gotta have a good hook.
Tom
You know, when you're in the road, you're staying up late. When you're home, you have to go to bed early with the kids.
Haywood Banks
Yeah, I do stay up late. And then I'll just put on whatever terrible movie is on tnt. Like, I like to watch a bad movie that I still like watching. Like. Like Draft Day, a movie that I know is terrible, but I'll watch it every time it's on tv.
Christy Lee
We all have one of those.
Haywood Banks
Yeah. Draft Day is my terrible movie that I'm like. Yep. Keep it going.
Tom
Really?
Chick
There's something that's comforting about that.
Josh
Yeah, it really is.
Haywood Banks
It's that I know I don't have to watch it. It's that if I catch some of it.
Tom
Cool.
Haywood Banks
And if I'm on my phone for part of it. Also cool. I don't. It's. Watching it is no worse than not watching it.
Christy Lee
I started watching Urban Cowboy last night because for that very reason, I think.
Haywood Banks
That website's banned in Indiana. I think you guys passed a law on that one.
Christy Lee
You forget how much music is in that movie. Like Bonnie Rate is in it. And it's just. It's like, whoa.
Chick
And Mickey Gill's in it.
Christy Lee
Gilly. Johnny Lee. It's like the wrong places.
Chick
Charlie.
Tom
Daniel. Yeah, it takes place in.
Christy Lee
In Gillies. Yeah. That's no longer in existence.
Tom
A gigantic bar.
Chick
World's biggest donkey Tonk.
Christy Lee
Yeah, like three acres or seven acres.
Tom
No, I want a segue into something we promised we'd get to. I think we have enough time. Time here. Stephen was mentioning that at Steven Singer Jewelers, you get. You can get the gift card.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom
And it's going to be pretty fancy. And I'm sure it's got a nice font. Font is a word I didn't know until A few years ago.
Christy Lee
This is Tom's favorite thing.
Tom
Fonts. Now, there is a. Believe it or not, there's fonts in the news today.
Christy Lee
Christie, you've got skincare brand Kiehl's has created a pubic hair inspired font.
Josh
Is that right?
Christy Lee
Because one of its ad campaigns appears, apparently was censored for featuring pubic hair. The public display type is being called a first of its kind font.
Tom
Pubic display.
Haywood Banks
Yeah. Yeah. I believe the font is called Peach Fuzz.
Christy Lee
Here's a picture of it. The company says the pubic inspired font is crafted entirely from actual human pubic hair. Oh, it is created.
Tom
We have it up there. They laid out pubes of different colors and then photographed it and turned it into a font.
Christy Lee
The ads in question featured clothed models with visible pubic hair emerging from their underwear, which Keel said, quote, was a challenge to conventional beauty standards.
Josh
I'll say.
Stephen Singer
Oh, my. Look.
Christy Lee
They have a new intimate skin care line for those of you who are interested.
Stephen Singer
Their new tagline is it's no picnic down there.
Tom
Well, I thought it was a great idea, so I got. I got in on the ipo, the initial pubic offering.
Chick
That's good.
Tom
I'll be. Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Sometimes you see a piece of what modern art is, and then you're like, I'm going to be a Republican.
Tom
As for me, by the way, I like my. I like my women. I like. I like my fonts, sans serif, if you will. Yeah, yeah. The. Yikes. The fact that they use real pubic hair to make it in different colors is pretty funny.
Josh
It looks like they spelled words with one of the. Those old woolly willy.
Christy Lee
Yeah, exactly.
Chick
Yeah.
Haywood Banks
Honestly, pretty bush league.
Tom
I don't think it'll take off.
Christy Lee
You don't think so?
Tom
No, no, but pretty funny. Is this a. I don't under. Is Keels a big skin care.
Christy Lee
Oh, gosh, yes.
Tom
Oh, really? Yeah.
Christy Lee
You've walked by it a million times at the mall. It's at your mall.
Tom
Okay. So did you see the original ads that I don't know.
Christy Lee
I did not. But I could look for them for you if you'd like. So apparently the models were like little bikini spiders. Do they buy. Bother you?
Josh
Oh, yeah. They're gross.
Christy Lee
Really?
Josh
Yeah. Ladies don't have bikini spiders.
Chick
Okay.
Josh
I mean, doesn't the term bikini spiders. It doesn't suggest anything positive.
Tom
Yeah, it's not like. Not like bikini puppies. Yeah. Oh, I'm gonna go down there.
Chick
And for those who like that, it's a little invitational.
Josh
Are you sure? Are you of those?
Chick
No, no, no. Maybe. You never know.
Tom
I see, I see. Well, right now I want to remind you that Steven Singer is our guest and I want to remind you about Stephen Singer jewelers. How do you find them? Well, you go to I hate stevensinger.com and he mentioned the peacock teal rose. These are real roses dipped in gold. This is the first year for this one.

Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom
You want to. Maybe you, maybe you want to upgrade. You've had a pretty good year. Maybe it's time to get those rocks a little bit bigger on those ears. See what I'm talking about by visiting I hate stevensinger.com. coming up we're going to visit with Joe Theisman and more. We got some great stuff coming up. Here we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Chick
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee and Josh Arnold. Ace Cosmo, me, I'm Chick Magee. We have a special guest in the studio and on the tv.
Tom
We're going to look up at the big screen and I believe there he is. The, the handsome factor of this show just went up by 99%. It's the great Joe Theisman. Good morning, sir. How are you, Joe?
Joe Theisman
Good morning to everyone, especially you, Chick.
Chick
Thank you, Joe.
Tom
So you got to be in a pretty good mood now. Were you in Detroit?
Joe Theisman
No, I wasn't in Detroit. I was actually in, in Atlanta for the national championship game. Oh yeah, yeah. Notre Dame acquitted themselves very, very well and Ohio State certainly opportunity to be, you know, NCAA champion. So it was, it was an incredible atmosphere and incredible game and so darn proud of my Fighting Irish.
Christy Lee
As you should be. It was a good game.
Tom
Now as you, many people know, listen to this program. Chick McGee, a gigantic fan of the Washington Football Club for many years.
Chick
I was going to tell Joe, I don't know if he remembers this, but in August, maybe, maybe July, you texted me and you said all it said was, you're going to be very happy. That's all it said. Yeah.
Joe Theisman
There you go.
Chick
Yeah. And I hear this from everybody, you know, Jaden Daniels poise and, and he's not a rookie. Well, he's certainly not a rookie now, all the games he's played. But what was the. Is it. I guess I. I don't know if this is a bad question or not. What is the most important quality to be a quarterback in the National Football League? That he's. He's got it, evidently.
Joe Theisman
That is a great question, Chick. I think that I really. I think composure is very important.
Chick
Yeah.
Joe Theisman
You know, how do you. How do you operate under fire? How do you operate? Everything around you looks like it's collapsing. And he does that so well. I mean, if you were to ask your callers, say, list of 10 things that you would look for for in a professional quarterback that you think would make them out that person outstanding. He fits every one of them.
Chick
Yeah.
Joe Theisman
Throws. He throws the deep ball well, handles pressures, pressure well. Has great athleticism, makes good decisions. I call it football intellect. He knows when to get down and take care of himself. He knows when he has to go for something. I mean, they trust him on fourth downs as much as anybody. And that, that to me is incredible. And Cliff Kingsbury, who's the offensive quarter coordinator, I think does a great job of getting him into the flow of games, which is going to be important now because this is the third time they're going to play the Eagles. This has very little to do with concepts and schemes. This has everything to do with the players on the field making plays.
Chick
And the one thing I noticed early on was, and people say this a lot, too, and it's hard to find, but the locker room for Washington, it really does seem like they are a team. And I don't know how they. I don't know how Dan Quint got. Did that, or it comes in a bottle or they ship it in, in boxes. But I mean, they, they've got it. They're in the locker room. They really do.
Joe Theisman
Yeah. If you look at some, if you look at some teams, it looks like the box that was shipped went to the wrong address.
Chick
Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah.
Joe Theisman
But in, in this case, I, I really feel like it was A great blend. Adam Peters, who's the general manager, and Dan put together a very interesting group. You know, you have veterans like Bobby Wagner, you've got guys that have been there, like Terry McLaren, that's never experienced anything like this. And then you have players like Diami Brown stepping up that you hadn't, and then you bring in hers. And then, you know, Marshan Lattimore, you know, is now starting to play on the other side in the corner position. So the team got stronger as the year went on at a great foundation. And interestingly enough, I don't know if we talked about this the last time, but this football team, when the season kicked off, there were about 60% of those guys that had never put a commander's unit uniform on. Yeah, I mean, there was so much newness, New coaching staff, new system, new assistant coaching staff, a lot of new players. And they just continued to grow and grow and grow. And I think the game that I look back at in this season was the Chicago Bear game with the Hail Mary. It really gave this football team a sense that we're never out of it. And that's really the way they've played. Other than the Detroit game this past week, every other game, I think the last six have been Nick tail biters.
Chick
Yeah.
Joe Theisman
And they come out on top on all of them. And fourth down now has just become an extension of third. I mean, they were like, what, 23 of 26 on fourth downs? Some unheard of percentage, I have to tell you.
Chick
When they kicked, when they kicked the field goal against Detroit or tried and Zane missed it. But when I, I was kind of disappointed that they didn't go, didn't try to go for it on fourth down, I was like, oh, come on, fellas. You know, I agree, agree with you.
Tom
Yeah, we've been talking about jewelry all morning, Joe. So I want to sort of segue into something. Do you have, when you. Your super bowl ring, do you wear it all the time or is it for special occasions? What's the special occasions?
Joe Theisman
It's special. You know, I, I wear it when I do my appearances. I wear, you know, doing autograph sessions when I do motivational speeches. I, I don't wear it out in public a lot. It's, to be honest with you, you know, I keep banging the ring against the window of the car or something else. And I'll tell you some, ours are much, much smaller than the ones today. I mean, the New England Patriots, their sixth world championship ring, I mean, it's bigger than most watches, even the huge watches today. I mean, somebody asked me once, when a number of years ago, when really, before they got really, really big, they said, geez, doesn't that bother you? I mean, how does it feel wearing that ring? I said, as soon as it cleared the knuckle, it felt very, very comfortable, but it's not cumbersome at all. And it's, it's something you get to wear. And I, I ask people to do this. Like when I've talked to a lot of different people, tell me what the winning share of the super bowl is. If you win the super bowl, what's your winning share? Because every, everybody in this world is driven by money. But so what's the winning share of the Super Bowl? I promise you, without anybody looking up, couldn't tell you, because it's not about the money. It's about the ring. It's about the symbol that it represents. That, the opportunity now to say that, hey, look, I'm part of a world champion. And, and that's what the ring represents.
Chick
And I don't know if you've noticed this or not, everybody here in the studio looking on it. There's the Lombardi Trophy right, right behind Joe. There it is. Yeah.
Joe Theisman
Did that for you this morning.
Chick
I appreciate it.
Tom
I know you.
Chick
That's the best.
Tom
Now, obviously, Joe, I assume that you don't have to wear, like a lucky, lucky ring or jersey or something when you watch the game. Like. Chick McGee, do you want to explain what you did last?
Chick
Well, I have a couple of jerseys that I switch, and if this jersey ain't working, I switch over to another jersey and then I lay down on the floor or stand up or. It's, it's. I'm a mess, Joe, but you know that.
Tom
Joe, did you have any particular rituals pre game? Did you. One sock before the other. Anything weird? Weird?
Joe Theisman
You mean when I played?
Tom
Yeah.
Joe Theisman
Oh, gosh, yeah. My ritual started Saturday night with a banana split. I had to have a banana split Saturday night. And if the hotels didn't have it, I would go to the kitchen and make my own. I'm, I'm. I'm incredibly superstitious that way. I used to undress, take my clothes off the same way, hang them on the same lockers. I used to dress the same way. I started with, you know, start with the jock strap, obviously.
Chick
Okay, so, all right, that on.
Joe Theisman
And then I tuck my socks, cut my socks in there, Chrissy.
Tom
Okay, thank you.
Chick
Chrisy would hear that.
Tom
Thank you for sharing his socks and the jock. We got that.
Joe Theisman
And Then what I do is put my T shirt on. Then I would lay a towel down on the floor, put a chair there, and I prop my feet up on the chair, sort of kick back a little bit. I'd have my game plan on one side. And I used to look at People magazine cover to cover. Just sort of unwind a little bit mentally. And then I'd start to get dressed, and then, you know, I put the socks on. And then I. And I put my pads into my pants, put the left knee in first. Right knee, left thigh, right thigh. Then I'd wear. I wear two thigh pads, base, or I should say knee pads. I tape them around my hips because I didn't wear, like, you know, hip pads. I sort of makeshift kind. Then I'd get dressed, I put my. Put my. Put my shoulder pads on, put my jersey. Jersey on, tuck everything, put my shoes on. And then I would palm my helmet because my helmet wasn't that big. Contrary to what people believe. My head's not that big.
Tom
Was anyone allowed to speak to you during any of this. This period of time? Were other players?
Joe Theisman
What a great. That's another great question. Nobody really ever came up that every. Everybody sort of lets people get into their own world. They sort of let them do their thing.
Tom
Thing.
Joe Theisman
However you're preparing, they let you go prepare that way. And not a lot of conversation. I was always the last one dressed, last one to leave the locker room. But I used to palm my. My helmet. And what I would do is, you know how gunfighters do that? You know, they spin their guns, right? I used. I used to flip my helmet around one time and then pop it on my head. And then as I left the locker room, there was the Redskin logo right above the doorway. And I would hit that logo for good luck. For the. For the 12 years I was, you know, part of the Washington Redskins. Except for the night I broke my leg, I never said a word. I just hit the logo. The night I broke my leg, I hit that logo. And I said this. I said, tonight your life is going to change. Joe, because we were in a lousy. We were playing, you know, we were four and five. I wasn't playing. Well, we weren't. I figured tonight was going to be the night my life would change. And little did I figure I was into prophecy because it sure as heck did.
Josh
Wow.
Tom
We're speaking with football great Joe Thysman, by the way. Joe does some great public speaking. What's the best way to track you down, Joe?
Joe Theisman
They can. There's different speakers bureaus that I'm available to, or it's, it's joe.com is the website.
Tom
All right, well, interesting to know about the pregame rituals. Now, as. As a grown ass man, as they say, when you watch a game, unlike Chick, I'm assuming you don't have a lucky jersey you put on or any particular ritual underwear.
Joe Theisman
Have lucky underwear.
Tom
Okay, that's good to know.
Joe Theisman
I get. I just, we, you know, my wife and I'll sit and watch the game, and I'll sit in a chair and I'm up and down. I'm there. I just can't just lie there and watch the game.
Dustin Nickerson
Right.
Joe Theisman
I'm up and down. I'm into the kitchen to get something to eat, then I sit down, Then I'm into the kitchen and get something to drink. Then on the commercial break, I walk around the chair two or three times.
Tom
My question was. My question is probably the same one you have. Go ahead, Christy.
Christy Lee
Are you an armchair quarterback? Are you yelling at the team? Are you telling them what to do?
Joe Theisman
Oh, yeah, I'm yelling at the team.
Tom
Do you yell at the announcers? Because I do that.
Chick
That's so weird, Joe, because I used to yell at you.
Tom
Get the ball down the field.
Josh
Joe, what are you doing?
Tom
Joe, do you accept questions from your wife or does she know to shut up?
Joe Theisman
Robin is, Robin is a football aficionado. She just chooses into the game as much as I am, and she's as excited as I was. We were, you know, we went to, obviously, Atlanta for the national championship together. And, you know, she has, there's. We have two couches in the TV room, and she's on one, I'm on the other. I'm up and down a couch. I'm up and down in a chair, like I said, just walking around in circles, just, you know, nervous as can be. I have to tell you, I really get a fan's appreciation now of how they get worked up for games. It's so much easier to play in an NFC Championship game and a Super bowl than it is to watch one. As a fan, I've always said that you have no control, absolutely no control of the situation whatsoever. And it, it drives you crazy. And, you know, you see a call being made, and it's like, you got to be kidding me. And, you know, then I want to pick up the phone and call the commissioner and say, we need to put a rule in so that we can review every play.
Chick
Oh, yeah, they challenge every play.
Joe Theisman
Yeah, you know, there's. I Think they're going to change some of the rules coming up next year with the competition committee. As far as you know, we've missed a lot of face masks this year. The two calls against Houston, neither of them were penalties.
Chick
No.
Joe Theisman
As the penalty is described in the. In the rules. So they'll do something. And you know, I'm excited for us going into Philly, like I say, for the third time and you know, people say, well, Jalen maybe, you know, he may not be able. It doesn't mean matter what the Philadelphia Eagles do. It only matters what the Washington Commanders are going to do. That's really where as a player, that's where you focus your attention. What can we do? Not what they do, but we. We do.
Chick
Right. Real quick, Jody, you have a Kansas City and Buffalo. I feel like Kansas City might, might get upset on Sunday.
Joe Theisman
I do too. I think. I think there's any. If the, if they're the Buffalo Bill, Bills, any of the teams that have been very good over the recent years since Josh Allen's been there, I think this team has the ability to be able to spread the ball around. Josh continues to make good decisions and he has, and that's going to be a key in this game. But boy, you know it. Patrick. Patrick and Travis and that whole group and Spags defensively has just come up ways to put pressure on people. I think this, I think this game belongs to the offensive line of the Buffalo Bills. If they can block Chris Jones and that defense and the multiple blitzes that Spags is going to bring, then they've got a chance to be able to beat the Chiefs. Because I think. I think they'll put pressure on Patrick, but he. He's the best in football.
Chick
Yeah.
Joe Theisman
You know, yeah, I. I think. I think Jaden's right there. The top two or three in the league as well.
Chick
Yes.
Tom
Playing this year, it's always a great pleasure. We have to let Joe go. Joe is, of course, the author of how to Be a Champion Every Day, Day six Timeless keys to Success. It's a tremendous pleasure every time we get to talk to you, Joe. And I know we always ask the dumbest questions, except for Chick, but I. I'm very pleased to know about this pregame ritual. It's very exciting. We'll look forward to talking to you again soon. I. I will. Just quick yes or no. Are you going to go to the Super Bowl?
Joe Theisman
Yes.
Tom
Okay. That's all I need to know. Well, if. If you do, we're going to talk to you before you go.
Joe Theisman
You got it.
Tom
If you still. Let's us. Okay. Thank you very much, sir. He is. Is Joe Theisman. It's so much fun talking to him. Can you imagine sitting there, he's reading People magazine. He's got a feet up in the.
Christy Lee
Locker room with just his jock shop. Yeah, I can imagine.
Tom
And you heard the line about.
Chick
Hey, hey, hey.
Tom
You heard the line about he puts the jockstrap and then puts his socks in it. You heard that?
Chick
Okay, we heard that the left knee, the right knee part is what we.
Tom
Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Chick
Now, I didn't have the heart to tell him that I used to have Mark Ripon's shock strap. I gotta. I haven't ever told him that. I need to tell him that at some point.
Tom
Well, he's going to wonder how you. You got it and.
Chick
Well, there's a guy on the team I knew at the time and well.
Tom
Maybe I won't pick it up off the. Do you still have it?
Chick
It's somewhere. Yeah. I would have never thrown it away. So it's in a box somewhere, I'm sure.
Tom
Is it marked?
Chick
Well, no, I think if you have.
Christy Lee
A jock strap lying around.
Chick
Jock strap I have in a box.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
You don't need to label that.
Chick
I don't have like 10 of them to choose from.
Tom
No, but I mean, does it say this is Mark Rippens or.
Chick
No, I mean, if I. Questions if I find a jockstrap, it's going to be Mark Rippon's jockstrap.
Christy Lee
But I mean, I have a jock strap at your house right now.
Josh
Like. Like a mom would write M. Rippon on the table. There's no, no indication that.
Chick
There's no indication it's Marks? No.
Tom
Okay.
Christy Lee
Do guys still wear them?
Tom
That's a very good question. I know a lot, don't I want.
Chick
To say 90% of the NFL do not wear. Wear cups.
Tom
You know the one and I had one. I actually had a decent question for Joe. I forgot to ask him the thing going on right now where a lot of the quarterbacks and other players are essentially wearing shorts.
Chick
Pretty much.
Tom
And no pads.
Chick
No pads, yeah.
Tom
Be very curious if we talk to him before the Super Bowl. Okay, we'll find out. We're going to hang out with Stephen Singer from Steven Singer jewelers. He happens to be gracing us with his presence. We've been quizzing him all morning long and I think it's time for one more quick one because his name is Singer. Does he know a lot about singers. Here's a tough one.
Chick
This diamond ring.
Tom
Oh, hi.
Chick
Oh, I was too early, girl.
Tom
I did it again. I know.
Christy Lee
Me too.
Stephen Singer
Here I'm going.
Tom
This is kind of a curveball now.
Chick
Should you say, who is that? And who did the original?
Tom
It's a cover.
Chick
Yeah.
Tom
A great cover, by the way.
Josh
It is.
Stephen Singer
Is this David Lee covering?
Tom
It is David Lee Roth. Bravo. Covering the Kinks.
Stephen Singer
Yeah.
Tom
You really got me.
Chick
He implied that he knows David Lee Roth.
Tom
Oh, you know David.
Chick
He said David Lee.
Tom
Yeah, he's been in the studios with us. I did. He's a really interesting, fun, fun guy. And wow, if you ever saw Van Halen, they were great in both. Both.
Stephen Singer
Both iterations.
Tom
Yes. And I saw them both live. They were both fantastic. But that was David Lee really got me any revolutionary cover of a great song. Now I look over that way and I see Chick McGee. He'll be watching that game in his home and he'll be safe. Why?

It's. It's. It's still skipping. I'm sorry. Now Haywood has his guitar. Could we. Before we leave, I should mention that skipping. I. I had some. I had some surgery on. On Monday to repair a. A hernia. And it's still a little bit tender. I still can't drive. I had to Uber in again. But you said you have a song that is a tribute to my injury for you.

I love those funny video shows. I just can't get enough. The Cavalcade of Concussions. Boy, that's funny stuff. They're tripping in Poughkeepsie. They're slipping in Des Moines. But the ones that win 10,000 bucks are all trauma to the groin. Yeah, trauma to the groin, boys. Trauma to the groin. Nothing's quite as funny as the trauma to the groin. There is no whit more pretty. There is no joke difficult, no limerick delicious as a trauma to the groin. Now Jacob was a small boy in a T ball league. And his father stood behind him coaching to succeed the boy. He swung with all his might. You should have seen dad's face when the bat connected between first and second base. Oh, a trauma to groin, boys. Trauma to the groin. Nothing's quite as funny as a trauma to the groin. There is no wit more pretty. There is no joke divine nor limerick delicious as a trauma to the groin. We wanted to collect the check from those video fools. So we taught our three year old the running headbutt to the jewels. Too bad we left the lens cap on the camera by mistake. Cause grandpa weren't too happy about the second take. Oh, trauma to the groin, boys. Trauma to the groin. Nothing's quite as funny as a trauma to the groin. There is no wit more pretty. There is no joke divine nor limerick delicious as a trauma to the groin. One day while in the garden I stepped upon a rake. The blow intense and accurate an impression it did make My children caught it all on tape Thought it was the funniest thing and I choked a curse out through my tears as they began to sing oh, a trauma to the groin, boys Trauma to the groin Nothing's quite, quite as funny as a trauma to the groin There is no wit more pretty There is no joke divine no limerick Delicious as a trauma to the groin Last verse, I promise well, I won the money But I failed to see the joke hey, each to his own, I guess and most of the dough well, don't you know Paid the bill to the EMS so let us see a show of hands and let it be resolved that a trauma is much more funny if your own groin's not involved A trauma to the groin, boys Trauma to the groin Nothing's quite as funny as a trauma to the groin There is no wit more pretty There is no joke divine no limerick Delicious as a trauma Tune to the gr.
