Have you watched the news lately? That's not a thing anymore. New Wednesdays, 8, 7 Central on ABC and stream on Hulu. It's the Bob and Tom Show. Orange barrels, orange barrels Everywhere I see orange barrels, orange barrels looking, looking back at me. Look at Larry, Darrell and Darrell standing next to the orange barrel looking back at me. They have signs that say slow down. I drive 25 through town. Their faces are dark and dirty and brown. Their look came back at me. Orange barrels, orange barrels Everywhere I see orange barrels, orange barrels why can't I be free? Look at Larry, Darrell and Darrell standing next to the barrel in their orange vest apparel Looking back at me. They stand in their stinking sweat. I haven't seen them working yet. They have to pee in a portalette and their butt crack smiles at me. If I could fly I'd leave this world behind and I'd free up my mind from this debris Any orange barrels looking back at me? Orange barrels, orange barrels Everywhere I see orange barrels, orange barrels looking back at me. Look at Larry, Darrell and Darrell standing next to the orange barrel in their orange vest apparel. They piss off my girlfriend Carol, who's sitting next to me. We drive through the rain and snow through orange barrels.

Here we go.
Tom Griswold
Will the work get done? Well, no one knows. It remains a my.

Ah, they're out there, aren't they? The orange.
Jess Hooker
Never know what you're gonna get every morning.

Seeing all the members. Go ahead, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Christy, Le. Well, I got to get some other things out, too.
Tom Griswold
You're already ruining it.
Josh Arnold
No, I'm already. Had I not sang it, what would have happened?
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Pat Godwin
Oh, hell.
Tom Griswold
Brooklyn, pick it up. The song's still going.
Josh Arnold
There's Pat. Oh, Pat Godwin.

Nice.
Josh Arnold
All right, you do it. Well, that was.

Tom Griswold
See, this is like the G. Shut up there's Jeff.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
See the first year Cosby.
Josh Arnold
Thank you. I'm Josh Arnold, the I hate Stephen Singer, sidekick chair. We are broadcasting from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio.
Tom Griswold
Now you can talk.
Josh Arnold
It's like we said. Listen to this rip.
Tom Griswold
You know, you're missing the point, which is. Remember the first year of Gilligan's island when they would say. And remember they had to cram in the part and the professor and Marianne because they didn't get them all in and it wasn't fair.
Josh Arnold
The first season, is it? And the rest.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I know. That's what I'm saying. And that's what he just did.
Jess Hooker
No, he didn't.
Pat Godwin
I just got neurovice. Good guy.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I'm injecting myself with everything.
Tom Griswold
All he got out was his drink.
Josh Arnold
From the urinal, his.
Tom Griswold
Hi, I'm Josh Arnold and it's all about me, me, me, me here. Here I am at the IH Steven Singer, sidekick chair. And it finally squeezed in Christy.
Josh Arnold
Not true at all.
Tom Griswold
The Silac Insurance news desk. Then he goes, and the rest.
Christy Lee
Pat, what did you say before we went on the air? It's going to be one of those days.
Josh Arnold
I did.
Christy Lee
You did? Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's my favorite day.
Christy Lee
No, he's in a good mood. It's just a. It's a good mood day.
Tom Griswold
A lot going on. So we're going to be meeting our friend, musician Dane Clark is going to be leading our house band today. They're getting set up in the other room and.
Josh Arnold
Okay. That's why you're going to be extra dictatorial.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
A lot going on.
Tom Griswold
I'd like to think that I put the dick and dictator.
Jess Hooker
Well, you would be correct.
Tom Griswold
Oh, and I'm writing all this down. Okay, we're getting ready to go here. Pat and I've already discussed what he's going to do this very first break.
Jess Hooker
Or has he told you?
Pat Godwin
First break just in the first hour, right?
Tom Griswold
No, I said the first break.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Pat Godwin
I'm ready.
Tom Griswold
You ready? Okay.
Pat Godwin
See, I tell you, he's in the mood.
Tom Griswold
Would you rather. I mean, are you prepared? You want to do it later?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, No, I do it.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Okay.
Pat Godwin
I said the first break is the time when we just get to know each other.
Tom Griswold
Okay, well, we can. We can do that.
Jess Hooker
What's your name?
Pat Godwin
I am Pat.
Tom Griswold
Pat.
Jess Hooker
Oh, that's right. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Now your ex. That is not really actually your first name.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, my first name is Joseph.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, Joseph Patrick.
Pat Godwin
I come from a long line of Josephs that go by their middle name Joey.
Tom Griswold
All of them do.
Pat Godwin
From my grandfather on. Joseph Aloysius. He was Al. You can call him Al.
Tom Griswold
He really was named Aloysius?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, Aloysius, then Joseph Gerald. That was my father.
Tom Griswold
He went by Jerry. And he was the Shakespearean actor.
Pat Godwin
Shakespearean director.
Tom Griswold
Oh, but I thought he didn't. He did. He acted also.
Pat Godwin
He wasn't that good of an actor. He's more behind. Not behind the scenes, but in charge. The director of the theater department at King's College.
Jess Hooker
You have brothers, though, right? They're not all Joseph's, too.
Tom Griswold
They're not?
Pat Godwin
No, no, no. Just the firstborn. My sister's Joseph.
Tom Griswold
So why didn't they call you? Yeah, why didn't they call you Joe?
Jess Hooker
Joey?
Pat Godwin
We all go by our middle name. My son is Joseph James. God. When he goes by Jimmy.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay, cool. Yeah, I have friends that have similar traditions.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's cool.
Pat Godwin
So when you go to school, it's very complicated, and they call you Joseph. You think if your father. Damn you, dad.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. There was always the one kid that had the weird name. Whatever. You'd have, like, a substitute teacher and everyone.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
Wow, your name is. You know what? I fill in the blank. Right. Yeah. I just found out an obituary of a friend of mine. Kind of sad, but.
Jess Hooker
What brought that up?
Tom Griswold
Well, he's had this really weird name, which I didn't know.
Jeff Oskay
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
I was like, whoa.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. No one ever called him that. And then I saw his. His actual name. He was a great guy. Sadly gone, but who knew? I'm kind of. I was kind of thinking, I wonder what they're gonna put on his.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Gravestone. Do they put the name everyone called him or do they go with the weirdo?
Christy Lee
Well, you see the. The name in quotes that he went by, usually on a. Yeah, that's just.
Tom Griswold
That's just kind of sad.
Jess Hooker
Why is it sad?
Pat Godwin
Can't put Boner on a tombstone.
Jess Hooker
He could.
Tom Griswold
This is a different guy, by the way. Yeah, yeah. There was a guy in my. In my high school. Everyone called him Boner.
Christy Lee
Same.
Tom Griswold
And one time, one of the. One of the teachers inadvertently because, you know, behind his back, everyone. Everyone knew his name was Boner. Yeah, but obviously they couldn't do that in classroom. They would have to go, Martin, would you. And. But yeah, one day, one of the. One of the guys slipped and. Okay, we got to get to this problem. All right, Boner, I want to know.
Christy Lee
How you get Jack from John. Like, why. Why. Why would Jack be short for John?
Josh Arnold
I Don't know.
Christy Lee
Isn't that weird?
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Christy Lee
My brother's Jack and he's his real name.
Tom Griswold
No, speaking of that, we have Jack. We have Jack in the news today.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, we do.
Tom Griswold
In a public place. No, we'll get to that. What's the. How do you get pegged out of Margaret?
Christy Lee
Yeah, that one's a weird one.
Tom Griswold
There's a whole bunch of them that don't make any sense, but we'll. We'll move forward here. Now, what else is happening? Christie, you got some interesting things coming up in the world of news today.
Jess Hooker
No, not really.
Tom Griswold
Okay, good.
Jess Hooker
Actually, Jeff and I were talking off the air a minute ago. The Pope. I don't know if you saw this. The Pope had his first catechism lesson of the year last this weekend.
Tom Griswold
What does that mean?
Jess Hooker
It means that his first catechism. Catechism.
Tom Griswold
Well, that sounds like a seizure for a feline.
Jess Hooker
A lesson in Catholicism. It was his. You know. What do you call that? Anyway, he was at the Vatican, and he was. He had a performance for him by the Cirque Africa Circus. So after he did his little lesson, he got to enjoy the group perform with acrobats, robot operated puppet elephants, jugglers, and dancers on roller skates in the Vatican. Can you imagine?
Tom Griswold
They had to haul all that stuff up there. Yeah, you couldn't hop on a plane.
Jess Hooker
But I just. The thought of the Pope just sitting there, being entertained by guys dancing and gals on roller skates just made me giggle a little bit. Wow.
Tom Griswold
Well, as you know, a couple friends of the show got to meet the Pope. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Mike Birbiglia. Jim Gaffigan.
Tom Griswold
Mike Birbiglia talks about it in his new. I just saw his. His show not too long ago. I've seen it a couple times, and it's. It's gonna have its. I think they're gonna film it in New York in a month or two. But, yeah, BER Biggs got a phone call one day from Jim Gaffigan, and he goes, hey, listen, they've asked me to ask a few people to come meet the Pope. And, I mean, it was a who's who of American comedy. Whoopi Goldberg was there a whole bunch of comedians, which. I mean, that had to be weird.
Jess Hooker
He talks about it, and it has to be intimidating.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they. They kind of left their snark at the door.
Jess Hooker
Like, what do you say to the Pope? Hey, nice hat. What? I mean.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I was hoping you'd wear the tall hats. Yeah, I don't know.
Jess Hooker
General audience was what I was trying to think of when he was. That was his.
Tom Griswold
But I didn't real. I didn't realize that the Pope would bring in entertainers. Entertainers. I've never heard of that. And when Burbiggs and those guys went to the Vatican, they didn't.
Jess Hooker
They didn't do stand up.
Tom Griswold
They didn't do stand up. I mean, can you imagine?
Jess Hooker
That would be an audience.
Christy Lee
I wonder who embarrassed them, you know, in the group, like the one that you want to warn somebody about. Like, there's always, like, when we go out in public, we're like, hi, we're the Bob and Tom Show. Watch out for Tom. He's kind of a menace. Like, we always have somebody that you warn the group about. Right. I wonder who.
Tom Griswold
Terrific question.
Christy Lee
Who do you warn about? Yeah. Like, even at a family function, when we bring somebody in, like, we have a person and we're like, hey, look out.
Pat Godwin
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Unhinged. We're sorry. A little racist. Like, you never know.
Tom Griswold
Depending on the mood.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
This could go one way or the other.
Christy Lee
100.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Very interesting. Very interesting. Think about that for a few minutes and we'll get back to that question.
Jess Hooker
I don't know. The group I know was Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Gaffigan, Mike Berbigman.
Christy Lee
It seems like a good group, right?
Pat Godwin
So far. Keep going.
Jess Hooker
I can't remember. Oh, there were quite a few.
Christy Lee
Yeah, There were a lot of Bill Burr there.
Jess Hooker
Maybe I can look it up.
Christy Lee
There's a picture with Phil, everybody.
Pat Godwin
I think so Catholic, but he would have acted up.
Jess Hooker
Bill Burr's Catholic, Definitely. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And by the way, Bill Burr is about to be on. Has that show started on Broadway? No, it's.
Jeff Oskay
It's like two months out, I believe.
Tom Griswold
Gotcha. And it's. What do they show? They're doing Glengarry. Glengarry again. Glen Ross. Yeah. And then. But it's a bunch of great actors and comedians.
Jess Hooker
Oh, my gosh. It was more than 100 comedians.
Christy Lee
That's too many.
Jess Hooker
That is too many. Yeah, yeah. Whoopi, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Rock, Stephen Colbert, Conan O'Brien.
Tom Griswold
Well, Colbert, et cetera, et cetera. Yeah, Colbert is. Yeah, I was famously Catholic, so that was gonna. We've obviously got Josh Board still mad.
Josh Arnold
So bored.
Tom Griswold
He ruined the intro.
Josh Arnold
No, no, just a boring break coming up.
Tom Griswold
We have Dane Clark and the. In the back room, boys. And I think we've got our hookup going. I may be able to talk to Dane. There we go. Hey, Dane. Good morning, sir.
Dane Clark
Morning, Tom. How you doing?
Tom Griswold
Good, good, good. Now Dane is holding a guitar. He's also a distinguished drummer with John Mellencamp in the band. But this is a opportunity for you to get out front.
Dane Clark
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
And what I would like you to do now, I did not really warn you about this. I apologize. We need to take a song and turn it into a jingle for the Raycon earbuds people. Do you have anything that would be suitable for that?
Dane Clark
I think we do.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I like this so far.
Abigail Clark
Everybody's talking Raycon.
Tom Griswold
That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Raycon earbuds. You guys just keep doing that and I'll do the announcer part. Hey everybody, Tom here for Raycon earbuds. You know, 2025 is going to be the year of earbuds, I think. What are Raycon earbuds all about? Well, they're about. They're your perfect gym buddy. Right, Christy Lee?
Jess Hooker
Yes, absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Get to the gym. You don't want to hear the lady.
Jess Hooker
You in the tooting as she's done.
Tom Griswold
Tooting on the treadmill. I was trying to think of a way to put that delicately. No. Okay. I want to hear music like for example, you could listen to Dane Clark's new album which is called Gurus Hit Men in Heaven and you'll hear real music, not this particular Raycon song. But the point is these earbuds come with active noise cancellation and they're a priced about half the price of those white ones that fall out of everybody's ears. Raycon earbuds. They have a 30 day happiness guarantee. Don't you wish you had that in life? I guarantee you'll be happy in the next 30 days. Raycon earbuds. Don't forget the over the head headphones. Raycon earbuds. You're gonna love them. And once again, you find Raycon. Thank you. You go to buyraycon.com Tom. That's buyraycon.com Tom. Yeah, I landed right there in the right spot. Thank you. We'll get back to Dane and and their new project and some great live music. Dane Clark and the Backroom Boys. Thank you, Dane. Be right back. This is the Bob and Tom show.

Josh Arnold
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show, here live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I like the sound of this.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Tom, we've got some terrific music this morning, don't we?
Tom Griswold
House band today, Dane Clark and the Back Room Boys. And we have a very fine band, so nice to have them. Now they're in the. I should explain this since this is radio. They're in the other building, but we can see him because we have an electronic hookup. Just so you know, this is like one in a football game. And the radio guy goes. The Raiders are going left to right in the field.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Trying to paint a picture. So you see, Christy.
Jess Hooker
Uh huh.
Tom Griswold
We've got Dane Clark on the guitar, Eric Skoll guitar and vocals, Jack Taylor on the bass, Abigail Clark, background vocalist, LJ Meachum on the keyboards, Philip Powers on the drums. Sounds great. Dane and Dane, I believe we're about 20 minutes ago, if I'm. If I'm correct, your first video has been released, is that correct? Okay, so you can find a link to this if you go to any of the Bob and Tom social media platforms, I believe. And Dane has a new project out and it's called Dane Clark in the Back. Backroom Boys Gurus Hit Men in Heaven with a spectacular cover. It is a really beautiful painting. One of the things kind of lost in contemporary culture with streaming. Yeah, streaming. You don't get the great covers. But who painted this, Dane?
Dane Clark
Hugh Sime Hughes, a world renowned album cover guy. He's did all of Russia's covers from 2112 on, I think Aerosmith, Celine Dion, so. And now Dane Clark too.
Tom Griswold
And it shows a guy floating in kind of a lotus position, floating over a desert. Looks like he's. Hasn't eaten in about three years. And he's holding. What does. Some kind of a submachine gun I guess. Beautiful painting. Wow. Kind of, kind of scary really.
Dane Clark
A little bit.
Tom Griswold
Did you know what it means? Do you have any ideas?
Dane Clark
I just gave him the title and he did that and I said okay.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, gurus, Hit Men in heaven. Well, we'll be talking to Dane and the boys here in a few minutes. We have things we have to get to. I understand by the way, that you have worked out something with Pat Godwin, is that correct?
Pat Godwin
We did a little sound check last night.
Tom Griswold
No surprise. Okay. Now Ben, Pat, I've asked you to play something in just a couple minutes from. From yesterday's show, because this is the. We're gonna just review a couple highlights from yesterday's program. And I think the main highlight, of course, was something from the United States government. The government takes the time and trouble to survey emergency rooms all across the country. And among other things, they have released a roster of items retrieved from the anal cavities. Is that what you're calling.
Jess Hooker
Sure.
Tom Griswold
The. What is the actual area, the space in there called. Is the rectum it. Or is that the entry point? I'm not sure what the actual entry point is.
Josh Arnold
The anus. And then when you get in there, it is the rectum.
Tom Griswold
Okay, so these were found in. In record.
Pat Godwin
Way up. There's the stomach.
Jess Hooker
In there. So.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, so this stuff doesn't get that far up. Yeah, I think. I think that the larger point is. But we did have the list. And once again, this is an official list. It's nice to know that the federal government is using our. Our hard earned tax dollars to find out what's up your butt. But Christy, if you'd like to review just a couple of these things. Okay. Okay.
Jess Hooker
Well, I have it.
Tom Griswold
All right. I mean, I'm happy to.
Jess Hooker
Do I have them right here. I just was hoping you would ignore that xylophone. Mallet was the one that really caught me.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
How's that laying around?
Tom Griswold
Well, I mean, a xylophone, as opposed to the whole entire xylophone would be.
Jess Hooker
Well, that would be ridiculous.
Tom Griswold
Problematic.
Jess Hooker
A baby shark Toy batteries were very popular. Triple A's, Double A's, D, whatever. You got a wire hanger.
Tom Griswold
What happens probably in. In these cases is. And.
Jess Hooker
And they don't think a toy's involved and they get lost in there.
Tom Griswold
No, no, I think that that's something handy. And the mood strikes and you grab a battery.
Christy Lee
It seems to fit.
Tom Griswold
But in most of these cases, there's always denial that they were deliberately trying to put something there.
Jess Hooker
Well, and as Chick will always say, that area is a vacuum.
Tom Griswold
So it tends.
Jess Hooker
Right. So it gets sucked up in there.
Tom Griswold
Yes. You gotta either tie a string to it or something.
Jess Hooker
The tail of a toy dinosaur. Light bulb, Both non broken and broken. Plastic lemon. Fake banana jello mold. Ugh. The list goes on.
Tom Griswold
The list goes on. But, Pat, you have developed a tribute to this topic, apparently.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, I watch Miami Customs, my favorite reality show, a lot. And this is a common problem where drug mules are putting things in their rectum, so.
Jess Hooker
Oh, yeah, we'd like to know where.
Pat Godwin
You Hide in the cocaine. Is relaxed into where you hide in the cocaine. This coconut butt. Coconut. But baby coconut butt. Pen the man over. Coconut butt, coconut button. Baby coconut butt.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Customs watching you since you arrived. Those Groucho glasses are a thin disguise. Oh, you're walking real funny off the plane, but your suitcase has no trace of cocaine. Tell the other agents we must inspect him. Take him in the back and check his rectums. We'd like to know you hid into cocaine. Yeah, we'd like to know where you're hot into cocaine. There's coconut butt, coconut button, maybe coconut butt. Bend the man. Oh, a coconut butt, coconut button. Maybe coke in the bun.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
From yesterday.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. Well, once again, if you have an issue like this, you are urged to go to the emergency room.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. Don't try to retrieve it yourself or leave it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. I think one of the issues with this news story is you have to wonder. These are just the people that went to the error, Right.
Jess Hooker
People get embarrassed and don't want to go.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Jess Hooker
And this is why they come up with the weird excuses.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But that led to my favorite story from yesterday, which was from Mr. Osu. Once again, he's sitting in for the chickster today.
Jeff Oskay
That's right.
Tom Griswold
This is. This involved a so called C ring.
Jess Hooker
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And a friend of yours. Can you give us the short version of this one?
Jeff Oskay
Basically, he had taken a Viagra and used a c. A metal C ring at the same time, which apparently you should not mix the two because they both serve the same purpose.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Jeff Oskay
And it had swollen to the point where they could not get the ring off. His wife said two hours later she came down to the kitchen and he had a big pitcher of ice water and he was just dunking the whole thing in there, trying to get it to go down to no avail. Had to call his neighbor three doors down to bring down the bolt cutters.
Tom Griswold
Now, what time is it?
Jeff Oskay
Like two in the morning on a Friday night.
Tom Griswold
Okay, so I didn't realize. So the neighbor came over to him.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Brought the bolt cutters down and the neighbor actually cut it off of him because he had to hold the skin away.
Tom Griswold
And how big are these bolt cutters? Is this the two hand? You need the two hands?
Jeff Oskay
Well, yeah, I mean, I guess it's better than like a disc grinder.
Christy Lee
Right, Right.
Josh Arnold
Like cutters or.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah, I mean, you gotta imagine a lot of leverage to get that thing.
Tom Griswold
To pop off again. I'm almost too shy to go to my neighbor and ask for a couple of eggs. Right. Let alone, hey, by the way, do you have. There are both gutters to cut this thing off of my male member.
Jeff Oskay
Would you do that for a friend, Josh?
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah, I'd do it.
Jess Hooker
I would.
Jeff Oskay
I'd do the bolt cutter. That'd be fun.
Josh Arnold
There'd be a lot of razzing.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, I'd be laughing at me and tired.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It'd be really hard to not drop your phone while you were videotaping.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I was retelling that story to someone yesterday. It really is astonishing.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. And. And the couple told me with no, like, they weren't ashamed at all by it. And I. I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever heard.
Christy Lee
I don't know. After you told that story, I was thinking, what's the strangest thing I asked a friend for? And I haven't come up with anything yet. Like, it's.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's. Boy.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Christy Lee
I've had a friend lie for me like stuff like that, but not anything.
Tom Griswold
Mail.
Jess Hooker
Money.
Jeff Oskay
I had a friend who lived a house over, and I had. This was years ago. I. I had a few gigs canceled, so I had my electricity turned off, and he ran an extension cord from his house over to my house so that I could have power for a week and a half until I could get it turned back.
Tom Griswold
So what's funnier is when you hear about people that don't tell their neighbor that they're doing that. I've heard about that. Where. What's that cord doing at the side of our house? Oh, you're ear powering Oscase.
Jeff Oskay
The funny part was I owed like $300 and it took like $120 in extension cords just to get it over there, so. And I just had another $150.
Tom Griswold
Now, your friend with the. With the. The ring.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
At the end of that story, you mentioned that apparently now there's a. There's a rubberized version.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. He. He has now gone to silicon or silicone based C rings. No more metal.
Tom Griswold
Okay. And you're not supposed to combine the. What are they called? The Blue pill.
Jeff Oskay
They both serve the same effect to. To engorge blood in that area. And so when you mix the two.
Tom Griswold
Add what they call tumescence.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And by the way, I love that band, the old band, Two Messence.
Josh Arnold
Very good.
Tom Griswold
There's Evanescence. I saw two Messence open for Evanescence. They blew him off the stage. Wait a minute. No. She blew him off. No, I forgot how that went. But, well, thank you very much, Pat. I certainly enjoyed that song. Also, late in yesterday's show, we learned a couple of other things we found out. Interesting. This is kind of interesting. Josh likes to eat apples with a fork.
Jess Hooker
Yep.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
You'll see me do it again today.
Jeff Oskay
It was very cute.
Jess Hooker
Doesn't like sticky stuff on his hands.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I can't stand having sticky fingers.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, I'm with you there.
Jess Hooker
I have all kinds of things rolling through my head right now.
Tom Griswold
No, but I mean, I'm. I. 100%. And I think. I think maybe Ms. Hooker mentioned this. There are certain things I will eat right next to the sink so that I can immediately.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Wash your hands.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I'm completely on board with that. That's just.
Josh Arnold
And it didn't even occur to me. It was weird until you guys said something. You know how you just do something in life and.
Jess Hooker
Did you ever have. My grandmother ate apples with a spoon? Have you ever seen that?
Josh Arnold
No. Like a grapefruit.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. Well, she would just. Yeah, she would dig it out like a spoon. I used a spoon.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Josh Arnold
That's really interesting.
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Sober.
Jess Hooker
Yes, she was sober. This was the sober one.
Tom Griswold
Oh, not Grandma Vo.
Jess Hooker
Not Grandma Vo.
Tom Griswold
We haven't talked about her much. I just always love that Grandma Vo.
Jess Hooker
Well, she's, you know, drinking in heaven.
Tom Griswold
She's pickled now, if there's a bar.
Jess Hooker
In heaven, she's my parental grandmother. She would eat an apple with a spoon.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Jess Hooker
It was very interesting. Dig it out.
Jeff Oskay
Like, you know, just like a melon baller. Yeah, kind of with a spoon.
Josh Arnold
You learned it somewhere.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Melon baller. Sounds like a. Like a fan group.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Like parrot heads. His fans are called. Would be called melon ballers. Also, late in yesterday's show, a couple of other things that we learned that were kind of interesting. The 100th anniversary of the Goodyear blimp. The blimp's gonna be touring all over the. All over the country.
Jess Hooker
I love blimps. When you see a blimp, you go, oh, my God. Don't you.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
I'm never not happy.
Jess Hooker
Right.
Josh Arnold
You're never disappointed?
Tom Griswold
Never.
Pat Godwin
Like, oh, look at that damn blimp.
Josh Arnold
When's the last time you saw one?
Tom Griswold
Oh, boy, I saw one May.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Typically there any. Most major sporting events still have. I hope the blimp's cool. Especially if you're walking into an event. Look. Hey, there's the blimp.
Christy Lee
Will we see one at the Super Bowl? Do they do the super bowl, maybe. Yeah, typically.
Jess Hooker
Maybe.
Josh Arnold
I think so.
Jess Hooker
Where is it?
Tom Griswold
New Orleans. But Goodyear has a bunch of blimps, but I think There are only 30 in total in the world.
Jess Hooker
I thought you said a hunter in total in the world. Right.
Josh Arnold
It was like 25.
Tom Griswold
You're correct, Josh. According to Reader's Digest, there are 25 blimps left in the world.
Josh Arnold
Crazy.
Jeff Oskay
According to Reader's Digest. Like, how is Reader's Digest still a thing? Like, who is. Who's reading it?
Tom Griswold
Have you ever heard aces jokes?
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
They steal them.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
That'S very funny.
Tom Griswold
Ace humor in uniform, but. And once again, Christy and I have both been in the Goodyear blimp, and I want to say they haven't. And the Budweiser blimp, they got a new one.
Jess Hooker
They have a new blimp?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I think. I forget a couple years ago they had. They have another one out there, so. But they're real. It's super interesting. And not a particularly practical way to travel. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Do you wonder if the blimp guy, originally, he's like, oh, this is gonna change the world. Like, this is gonna change travel.
Josh Arnold
See you later, train.
Tom Griswold
As Josh pointed out, one of my favorite points that he has made that is completely valid. The guy that invented the Velcro shoe.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. That guy thought places, goodbye. This is. I've solved it all.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Nope, Just kids and old people. Hey, I had Bell Coach.
Jeff Oskay
Exactly.
Jess Hooker
It costs a hundred thousand dollars for one trip in a blimp, apparently for the helium to fill them up. That's why they're.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, is that how they float?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, that's how they float.
Tom Griswold
I mean, they. But they leave the helium in there.
Jess Hooker
It says here it costs a hundred thousand dollars for one trip on the blimp. So, I mean, they do leave the helium in, but sometimes they'll deflate them to move them around, I guess. I don't know.
Tom Griswold
I think they fly them. They have a gigantic hangar, and they fly them around.
Jeff Oskay
When they deflate them as just a bunch of dudes taking hits off of it, doing the real high voice.
Tom Griswold
Guess what I'm doing, honey? I'm in the hangar. Guess what's happening. But when you see a blimp in person up close, it's very intimidating because they're huge, and the cabin area is a little tiny part of the bottom.
Jeff Oskay
I've never seen one. Not in the sky.
Christy Lee
Yeah, me too.
Tom Griswold
I'm saying when you get close up, it's like walking up to a gigantic ship and there's a Certain intimidating factor. And, Josh, you've talked about this. Am I correct in saying you don't like to swim near large boats?
Josh Arnold
Oh, no. Anything under any. It's called submechanophobia. I have anything underwater. If I get near it, I get. I freak out.
Christy Lee
Those giant things scare me. Like when you see those flags on the interstate. That's too big. It's too. That flag's too big. It shouldn't be that big.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. Those can be gigantic. Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Those freak me out, too.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it's also just oversized things.
Christy Lee
Oversized things. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Talk about it holds well for every guy here.
Pat Godwin
We're gonna get along just fine.
Jess Hooker
I. Real quick. Why you don't see blimps? There are only 128 people in the United States qualified to fly an airship, and only 17 people do it full time. Talk about a niche job.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. That really isn't a major, right?
Jess Hooker
What do you want to be when you grow up, Jimmy?
Tom Griswold
I'm majoring in blimp pilotry. Well, I'm sure it's pretty difficult because you got to deal with that thing is like a giant sail up in the sky.
Jess Hooker
So it's 200, 400 hours of training would be tough.
Tom Griswold
Don't you need a whole crew of folks when you land it?
Jess Hooker
Don't they hold them down?
Tom Griswold
Really? Don't they have big, as I recall, big lines dangling.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Tether, guys.
Tom Griswold
And you gotta grab it and something goes wrong. All of a sudden you got 15 guys dangling.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Now you just need a drone. Can do all that fun stuff in the air.
Tom Griswold
Boo. I want a big, fat, shiny blimp.
Josh Arnold
I don't think they'll go anywhere. I think we'll still be able to see Blimpson.
Tom Griswold
And. And there is a distinction between a blimp and a dirigible, right?
Jeff Oskay
Oh, boy.
Josh Arnold
I don't know.
Jess Hooker
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
I think a dirigible has a. As I recall, the. The. There's like a superstructure inside the.
Jess Hooker
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Tom Griswold
And of course, famously, the Hindenburg 1937, I believe, went up in flames. The famous. Oh, the humanity.
Jess Hooker
It wasn't filled with helium.
Tom Griswold
That was filled with hydrogen. And once again, I tried to make a little money when my hydrogen laws suck T shirts, but they didn't really take off. I thought. I thought maybe the helmet law sucks shirts would be kind of a similar thing, but it really never did work out. Coming up, we have our house band. It's Dane Clark in the back room. Boys. We'll be coming back with, with those guys, see what's going on with them. Coming up in the, in the new, we have some interesting news in the world of sports. Yeah. In the form of some world or some world records.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And also rather interesting news coming out of Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance News. Give me a couple teasers.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, there was a guy doing some fun stuff at the Piggly Wiggly. Coming up, we have a driver that takes the wrong turn and ends up on a ski slope. That would be something. We have a very interesting story about graham crackers. I know it doesn't sound like, you.
Josh Arnold
Know, it's been so long since I've.
Jess Hooker
Had good graham cracker.
Tom Griswold
You haven't had a s'more lately.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it's been a couple years.
Christy Lee
We keep graham crackers in the pantry all the time.
Josh Arnold
Wow. Okay. Now, are you aware milk, I love them.
Tom Griswold
There is a bizarre origin story. You will not believe it. A bizarre origin story about graham cracker.
Jess Hooker
Yep. Fun.
Tom Griswold
And it involves, it involves a sexy time. When we come back. This is the Bob and Tom show.
Dane Clark
This is the Bob and Tom show. Text us at 888-262-866. One more Bob and Tom next.

Josh Arnold
Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show. We're here at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios proudly presenting to you a live show with wonderful live music today. Tom, it's the terrific band who have. They have a new project out, don't they?
Tom Griswold
They do indeed. It's our friend Dane Clark and it's. We were talking about the fact that you want to say the Dane Clark five.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That is not the name of Dane's band. No, it's Dane Clark and the Backroom boys and that's the back room boys right now. Sounds kind of ominous. Dane.
Josh Arnold
It's cool.
Pat Godwin
Very cool.
Tom Griswold
Does this get real heavy?
Josh Arnold
This sounds like a song that would be on an album titled Gurus and hit men in heaven.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, it does.
Tom Griswold
Sounds like the first lyric could be Something like her body was bleeding even though she was dead. Well, that's nice.
Josh Arnold
That, isn't it?
Tom Griswold
Now, Dan, I want to talk to you for a second. You put the band on break. First of all, I walk in the room a minute ago.
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And you guys are having a very serious, deep discussion about Velveeta cheese. I don't know if I have any Velveeta at my house anymore.
Jess Hooker
I doubt you do.
Tom Griswold
The block of Velveeta. Yeah.
Dane Clark
Is it really cheese?
Josh Arnold
Well, cheese product.
Dane Clark
Cheese product.
Jess Hooker
Because you get it in the. In the Mexican food aisle now, which I find interesting.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Christy Lee
Mine always moves. It's never in the same place.
Jess Hooker
Mine's always in the Mexican.
Tom Griswold
And am I correct in saying Velveeta cheese is actually clear and they have to add the yellow to it?
Josh Arnold
Now, Velveeta slices are all in the dairy.
Jess Hooker
Well, that's true.
Christy Lee
Have you had those?
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
You like them?
Josh Arnold
Always in the fridge.
Christy Lee
All right.
Josh Arnold
The thing about Velveeta, the melts, the melt rate or whatever is perfect.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
You can't full of chemicals for it to melt that perfectly. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
But it really is.
Christy Lee
It's a wonderful product. It makes the best macaroni in cheese.
Tom Griswold
Now, Velveeta has a brand manager, Ms. Stephanie Vance.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Who reports. They are always trying to find fans to live what they call La Dolce Velveeta. Oh, I go. Which means I guess the sweet cheese. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
I'm surprised they didn't go Velveeta Loco.
Christy Lee
That's what. That's exactly what I thought.
Josh Arnold
Living love Velveeta local.
Tom Griswold
They. And they have made a hair dye.
Jess Hooker
What?
Tom Griswold
A branded hair dye.
Jess Hooker
Oh, didn't they do nail polish?
Pat Godwin
They did nail polish.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
La Dolce Velveeta yellow.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
This is. This is Velveeta gold hair dye. So if you want to have some nice, lovely.
Christy Lee
That's a color.
Tom Griswold
Doesn't Velveeta gold sound like the name of a porn star?
Josh Arnold
It kind of does. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yes, it does. Now, Dana, the lick that you guys were just playing, that little. The piece we just heard, I should say, is that a real song?
Dane Clark
Yeah, that's a song that came out on my Rebel Town Record 2019 called Blues Train. But we may change it to Raycon. I'm not sure.
Tom Griswold
Not gonna go with that lyric about the dead body still bleeding. But how long do they bleed, by.
Josh Arnold
The way, Boy, until they. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
So maybe. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So that could be like a 12 minute song. If it's a small Wound.
Dane Clark
I think I'll stick to Raycon.
Tom Griswold
Okay, we'll have you guys do the Raycon thing in just a couple minutes. I appreciate it. I will announce that Dane has this new album out there and it's a part of it is already streaming. Am I right about this? The first part just started streaming about 20 minutes ago.
Dane Clark
The video should be streaming now from YouTube and the single comes out tomorrow. Less Traffic, or, excuse me, Hard Times in the USA is the video and the single, and then we're gonna play that later.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Dane Clark
And Less Traffic on. On the High Road is another one that we're going to play, so.
Tom Griswold
All right. And we've got links on the various Bob and Tom social media platforms. Yeah. So you can check it out.
Dane Clark
We have a show Sunday at the Jazz Kitchen. We want everybody to come out.
Tom Griswold
You have a. You have a. Once again, a great cover. And it's so. It's. It's such a shame that the. The world of album covers is. Has not kind of lasted with streaming, but this is. This one's really a beauty. And maybe you should print like 200 vinyls just. Just so you could get a cop this beautiful cover.
Dane Clark
Actually, I plan on doing that.
Tom Griswold
Cool. All right, well, now we're going to switch gears for just a second and go over that direction and check in with Mr. Oskar. Sitting in for Chick Magee in the world of sports.
Jeff Oskay
That's right. Oh, Josh, you're going to love this. Next year, the National Hockey. Or, I'm sorry, later this year, the National Hockey League. It will hold two outdoor games in Florida on hockey. Seen a real growth in the state. They expect to attract over 100,000 fans. Wow. They say they acknowledge playing a game outdoor in Florida is risky, but the payoff is worth it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So what's the trick to that?
Josh Arnold
I guess keeping the Gators frozen.
Tom Griswold
I mean, can they keep the ice. Ice in the hot sun?
Jeff Oskay
Like, I mean, I'm sure someone did the research before they booked it.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I bet it's covered.
Jeff Oskay
The first game will feature the Florida Panthers hosting the New York Rangers at Lone Depot park, the home of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins. I was right. Sorry. January 2, 2026.
Josh Arnold
Okay. Yeah. Oh, so maybe that'll be the winter classic then. January 2nd. Okay. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
A whole year to figure it out.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well, they're doing obviously the outdoor games now.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, they just had the Winter Classic in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Blues versus Blackhawks. Blues one.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, nice.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Lucky they're not doing it today. It's too cold. That really is kind of a cool thing.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's a fun event. Any. Anytime sports do something a little different when it's kind of on an off moment. It's nice.
Tom Griswold
Maybe the NBA should try.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I wonder if any. If they would do NBA outdoors. They've done college games on a aircraft carrier. Okay. That is cool.
Tom Griswold
I do. I remember that.
Jeff Oskay
Really?
Jess Hooker
Huh.
Jeff Oskay
Man. Can you imagine if the ball just goes off the side?
Pat Godwin
It's a whole new game.
Tom Griswold
Or even worse, off the park bow incoming.
Jeff Oskay
My son, when he was young, he played soccer and the soccer field, and I'm talking like four years old, was on top of an apartment building. And all the time the ball would get kicked and just go off the side. It was like you had to go down the elevator out into the parking lot and get out. And they only had two balls. So if two went, some parent had.
Josh Arnold
To go retrieve them and throw them.
Jeff Oskay
Back up on the road.
Tom Griswold
Were you living in Manhattan?
Jeff Oskay
It was so weird.
Tom Griswold
I mean, if it's around here, there's a lot of space.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah, no, it was so weird, but it was hilarious because at least once a game, a ball would go off.
Tom Griswold
I heard the world record music. What's happening?
Jeff Oskay
Oh, yeah. Guinness World Records has announced that a pair of Britons with. With formerly long locks have broken the records for the longest hair donations.
Josh Arnold
Oh. Oh, nice.
Tom Griswold
That's nice.
Jeff Oskay
Ruth Tripp, 38, earned the record for the longest single donation of hair by a female. She donated 5ft 7 inches.
Josh Arnold
This is head hair, Right?
Jeff Oskay
Let's hope, because it's going to the little princess trust.
Tom Griswold
Thanks, Jeff. Relished. It depends if it's not. If it's not head hair, it probably depends what country the princess is ruling in.
Jess Hooker
How long would it take to grow your hair that long? Right.
Jeff Oskay
And then fellow Britain Jack Drever, 37, earned the male version. He donated 2ft 11 inches back in December.
Josh Arnold
Back hair. Oh, back in.
Jeff Oskay
Back in December.
Tom Griswold
If you're donating two feet of back hair.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That is.
Josh Arnold
Get back to the Northwest woods.
Tom Griswold
You're sasquatch. That's what Locks of Love does. The same thing.
Josh Arnold
A wonderful program.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
All of that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Didn't one of the. Some big rock star do that a couple years ago? I think.
Jess Hooker
I think a lot of people do.
Tom Griswold
Well, I mean, that's great.
Josh Arnold
It really is. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I did that a few years ago. I just. It was. It was. It was in the. It was in the early 90s, Josh. I just went to my shower drain.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I was able to.
Josh Arnold
You know what I'm talking about.
Tom Griswold
I.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely talking about.
Tom Griswold
And then there's the offshoot of Locks of Love.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, yeah. You donated to that.
Tom Griswold
Well, I want to add the reduction. Yeah.
Abigail Clark
Oh, God.
Josh Arnold
What was that called?
Tom Griswold
I. I forget. Coming up, we're gonna. We're gonna meet our house band and.
Jeff Oskay
I have another David Rush world record.
Tom Griswold
And then of all things, we have.
Jess Hooker
Penis sizes in the news today.
Tom Griswold
Again, this isn't we la. We. We had sort of these, these annual lists. They always have them. You know, the saddest one, of course, is the people we've lost in 2024. But there, there's some fun lists. We had, you know, objects found within body cavities, male and female. Coming up, an organization for the second year in a row has come up with rankings for the size of the tumescent male member.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
By country.
Josh Arnold
Ah, I see.
Tom Griswold
And every stereotype you have in your head.
Josh Arnold
True.
Tom Griswold
That's all I'm saying.
Josh Arnold
Congratulations once again, Nairobi.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you're close. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

Josh Arnold
Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry. It's me. Hey, it's a movie here at O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio.
Tom Griswold
Now, in your defense, that was such a cool groove that they just, they just dropped into.
Josh Arnold
I was so prepared just to listen to music. There's Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance company news desk. Pat Godwin's over there. Jess Hooker's here. Hey, Jeff Oskay across the way. Ace Cosby's over there. I'm Josh Arnold at the I hate Steven singer sidekick Jaron. Tom, please introduce our special band.
Tom Griswold
The house band today is our friend Dane Clark. Now, Dane is often seen with John Mellencamp on the drums on the guitar this morning. Hey, Dan, I got a trivia question for you. Dane. Did you play drums on the original version of Blow Me a Kiss?
Dane Clark
I certainly did. Myself and Toby Myers played bass.
Tom Griswold
Toby Myers from John Mellon camp's band on the bass and a classic arrangement.
Dane Clark
That was 40 years ago.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Jess Hooker
No way.
Dane Clark
It had to have been, right. Probably a while ago.
Tom Griswold
Now, when you, when you auditioned for Mr. Mellencamp, did you mention, by the way, that's me on drums on the famous underground song Blow Me a Kiss?
Dane Clark
It slipped my mind that day.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Were you nervous when you auditioned for him?
Tom Griswold
Them?
Dane Clark
Well, actually, I had already played with the band. I had been in Larry Crane's band and I'd also played on the soundtrack to Falling from grace.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Dane Clark
In 19.
Tom Griswold
So, yeah.
Dane Clark
So, I mean, he's a little intimidating.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I would ask if you're ever not nervous around.
Dane Clark
Actually, we get along pretty well. This would be my, this is my 29th year.
Tom Griswold
Whoa.
Josh Arnold
Belly Camp bands. Wow.
Tom Griswold
Now. Yeah, I remember. I, I have a real quick question. I, I. You were telling me one time about running into him during your guys. You guys were on tour, but he was always busy doing promotional stuff. So you didn't see him except when you were on stage, but you ran into him in the hotel gym one time. Was he smoking in the hotel gym?
Dane Clark
I think he had, he had just put one out.
Tom Griswold
So he puts one out, then goes into the gym. Okay.
Dane Clark
Because I know he's not smoking on the treadmill.
Tom Griswold
Mail, though.
Dane Clark
No.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Just asking. I think it's a fair question.
Jess Hooker
He's still smoking.
Josh Arnold
He was the last time he was in here.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Well, yeah, but that was a while ago.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. I think I probably gonna see him.
Dane Clark
We're gonna be working on some new music for him in February, so.
Tom Griswold
Oh, cool. Is there, is there a tour coming up?
Dane Clark
I'm not sure what's being planned for this year, but.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Tom Griswold
You're on call, though. Yes, sir. The phone rings.
Pat Godwin
Oh, wait a minute.
Dane Clark
I gotta go right now.
Tom Griswold
Does he ever let you play guitar?
Dane Clark
Actually, in the musical that we did, the Stephen King and John Mellencamp musical back in the day, I played a little bit of guitar and percussion at the same time with my feet. So now not on stage.
Tom Griswold
No, slightly different question. You do play. You play drums with Mr. Mellencamp?
Dane Clark
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
Now, you're on the guitar today, which means you've got your friend Phil on Philip on the drums.
Dane Clark
That's right.
Tom Griswold
Now, is he somewhat intimidated knowing that you're a, you know, first class drummer? Does he feel that? Like, do you, are you really bossy? Do you ever, like, turn your head around and go, that sucked?
Dane Clark
You'll have to ask Phil.
Jess Hooker
Phil's a pretty good answer.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Okay.
Dane Clark
Good answer's yes.
Tom Griswold
I think it would be kind of.
Dane Clark
Intimidating, kind of like preaching for Billy Graham, you know? I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm just. I'm just thinking. Okay, well, let's. Let's squeeze a song out of you, if you don't mind. Once again, Dane Clark and the back room boys is the name of the band. And their new project is emerging right now as a video that's just been released, I think about an hour ago. And we've got links to it at the various Bob and Tom social media platforms. What do you got for us, Dane?
Dane Clark
We got a song called less traffic on the high road.
Abigail Clark
People everywhere trying to find the truth but someone's gotta win, someone's gotta lose I still believe there's a better away let's dig down deep and pray some answers? Way when start looking like the enemy I know that there's a better way to be? I tell you I ain't going to choose a side? Don't want to go alone for that ride there's less traffic on the high road that's how I try to roll? I let my heart show me which way to go? Cause you know there's less traffic on the high road? How we get where we are today? Sometimes I feel we're all being played? Don't wanna be angry don't wanna be afraid? Just wanna try to do what the good looks say? Cause there's traffic on the high road? That's how I try to roll? I let my heart show me which way to go? There's less traffic on the high road? I'm gonna take the high road? I'm gonna take the high road? I'm on the take Take the high road all right. There's less traffic on the high road that's how I try to roll? I let my heart show me which way to go? Don't you know? Yeah, you know there's traffic on the high road? That's how I drag and roll? I let my heart show me which way to go? Don't you know there's less traffic on the high road? Gonna take the high road? I'm gonna take a high road? I'm gonna take the high road? I'm gonna take a high road? I'm gonna take a high road? Road. I'm gonna take a high road? I'm gonna take the high road.
Tom Griswold
Yes, sir. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
All right.
Tom Griswold
It's Dane Clark in the back room, boys. Thank you very much, fellas. Now I have. We're gonna ask Dane to once again do his fine new jingle we've created for the, for the Raycon people. But here's an interesting obscure trivia fact. Yes, we were, we've been working on doing the O'Reilly Auto Parts jingle. Since we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios, we've been sort of trying to recreate it. You know the origin story of that jingle?
Jess Hooker
No, what is it?
Tom Griswold
It's really something. It involves the great band the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. Really, some of the founding members of that band created that jingle because we were talking about how it's such a great jingle and so catchy and great and I was driving a couple months ago in my car and it came over the radio and just at the end my 9 year old daughter went ow. She got it. So yeah, we'll, we'll get to the origin story of that coming up. Also coming up, the Mr. Godwin's gonna sit in with the band. You got a little something for something new?
Pat Godwin
We do indeed.
Tom Griswold
We'll look forward to that. Also coming up, we do have this massive survey of the two messed member in the world and by country. What country has the largest? What country has the smallest? In the, in the realm of male members, I what I wonder about the methodology. Is this self reporting or is there some person who has the sad, sad job of next like oh, this is a team of, you know, a fluffer and some guy with a tape measure. I was in Sudan last week, I'm in Tokyo right now. Don't even need the whole yardstick. But we'll find out what the answer to all those questions is. But right now we're going to ask Dane Clark and the boys to once again present us with the brand new Raycon jingle that they have created on the spot. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, Raycon. The home of the Raycon earbuds. They do come in lots of colors, of course. Raycon earbuds, they're the best. They're about half the price of those fancy white ones that keep falling out of your ears, fit in your ear of course. That's earbuds. They also have the over the head headphones over the ear headphones, 32 hours of battery life, multi point connectivity. They do come in a bunch of colors, they feel good in your ears and of course you get great music coming through them. Raycon earbuds. If you want to purchase some Raycon earbuds, we mentioned the color thing. You go to buyraycon.com tom and you'll get 15 off. Does anything rhyme with 15 off sign site wide? I, I guess not. Once again, it's a Raycon earbuds and 15 off site wide today. So give yourself some Raycon here they make a nice Valentine's Day gift. I'd perhaps maybe throw some flowers in or some jewelry, but here are your earbuds, honey. Now I don't have to listen to you talk. That's Raycon. Buy Raycon. Buyraycon.com Tom coming up, we we will be measuring by Raycon.com Tom we're coming right back. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, such a clutch off season pickup.
Josh Arnold

Josh Arnold
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're here at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy, Jess Hooker, Jeff Oskay, Ace Me. That's Josh Arnold, Tom Griswold, thank you very much.
Tom Griswold
A couple quick things I'll notice. I should say I do notice Mr. Godwin is not here. Well, apparently he's cooking up something with the band. We'll look forward to that. In the meantime, I will remind you that we do have Dane Clark in the back room. Boys is our house band today. They have a new project out there. We've got all the links at various Bob and Tom social media platforms. Coming up, Comedian Al Jackson will be our guest. We have Ace Cosby at the controls, of course, which means the Ace Cosby joke of the day will be coming around the corner shortly. And Mr. Jeff Oskay is sitting in for Chick McGee. Chick's a little under the weather and we hope he starts feeling better. Odds are he'll be here tomorrow, which means we will have the shoe in of the week with our special guest guest star Rob Martin from Colorado Springs. He was the winner of week 18 in the pigskin pick them competition here on the Bob and Tom program. Won himself that gift certificate from Stephen Singer Jewelers. Right now we get back to the action. Thank you very Much. Dane. Dane and the boys are going to be taking a little break and they're working on something, I understand. Behind the scenes with Mr. Godwin.
Jeff Oskay
Cool.
Tom Griswold
So new song from Patty G. We look forward to that with a full band.
Jeff Oskay
Nice.
Tom Griswold
That's very. That's very exciting. And once again, Jeff, Oscar the man. The. The beard. The beard oil is sitting right over there where Chick says.
Jeff Oskay
That's right.
Tom Griswold
And we should explain for those that can't see you. You have an extraordinarily thick, bushy beard.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What is the longest you've ever had it?
Jeff Oskay
About twice as long as this. I don't really. I don't know. I mean, it just pushes out. It doesn't go long. I don't. I don't know, man.
Jess Hooker
You cut it back then so that it goes down?
Jeff Oskay
Nope, I just let it go.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. You don't have anybody trim that thing?
Jeff Oskay
No, I never trim. I just comb it every morning and put a little.
Jess Hooker
You have a little beard comb?
Jeff Oskay
Yeah, it's a wooden beard comb.
Christy Lee
Josh and I were talking about this. Can I get you guys the flat iron for the beard? I want to see what that looks.
Josh Arnold
I got one.
Christy Lee
You did?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What are you talking about? What is it?
Christy Lee
It's like a call. It's a hot comb that makes your beard straight instead of.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, really?
Christy Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
After you told me about it, I went and got it and I have not really seen any difference.
Jeff Oskay
But you did burn your face.
Josh Arnold
It is nerve wracking. I didn't at all burn my face, but it is nerve wracking and I did like it and I'll continue to do it because it really detangled it. Oh, I didn't notice.
Jess Hooker
Looks a straightening effect.
Christy Lee
Right.
Jeff Oskay
I would try it.
Tom Griswold
I don't understand the principle.
Josh Arnold
A curling iron, it heats up, but it obviously, instead of curling, it straightened. So it's like a big, you know, kind of a brush.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And you just slide it.
Tom Griswold
Those people use that on their nether regions.
Josh Arnold
Oh, boy.
Jess Hooker
You have hair that long, you've got a problem.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, exactly. You would just have long hair. And why you kind of want it curly down there?
Jeff Oskay
Well, didn't you say in. Where were you, South Korea?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Didn't they brush it out?
Josh Arnold
Yes, the women would. Would blow dry that area. And. And as they did, they would brush the hair straight out. So it was almost a mohawk.
Tom Griswold
For what?
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah. Yeah. That was the.
Tom Griswold
That's. That's the fashion.
Josh Arnold
Was the fashion slash. I don't know if it Was also hijack. Like a hygienic.
Christy Lee
But before, like daily or like for sex?
Josh Arnold
No, like after showering.
Christy Lee
After showering.
Jess Hooker
How do you keep it like that if you're wearing clothes? Wouldn't it flatten it back out?
Josh Arnold
It kinda go one way or the other or does it kind. I think, I think they trained it so much.
Christy Lee
Could you see it through their clothes?
Josh Arnold
No. No. Okay, but when I.
Tom Griswold
Were you warned about that before you encountered.
Josh Arnold
I was warned about it by a couple, a couple Canadians that I taught with who had been there longer than I had one. One was a guy and he said, hey, you're gonna encounter this.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And then another was a woman who said, every time I'm in the gym locker room, I see all these women with their hair dryers combing it straight up.
Jess Hooker
So how long?
Jeff Oskay
In the gym locker room?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah. And in the, in the male locker rooms at the gyms, I would see guys blow drying that.
Jess Hooker
And that's one of Tom's fluffing it.
Josh Arnold
But not, you know.
Tom Griswold
Well, yeah, I, I've seen guys at my gym blow drying their pubes and it's just, you know, that's just so disgusting.
Jeff Oskay
Really?
Tom Griswold
Oh, absolutely.
Josh Arnold
And I was a trip. I'm a trimmer. You guys know that I keep a very, very clean, very clean down there. And the first time my Korean, the, My Korean girlfriend there encountered that, she asked me if I was a baby.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's.
Jess Hooker
Did that ruin the mood?
Josh Arnold
No, we both laughed. But isn't I proved to her that I was not a baby?
Tom Griswold
Doesn't that. That particular hair down there in certain.
Josh Arnold
Cultures or ethnicities or.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, certain ethnicities. Isn't it actually straight?
Christy Lee
No.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I don't know. I don't know what now are you, are you, are you asking about Asians? I think for some Asians it's straight because that's what they're doing.
Christy Lee
Oh, they're doing it on purpose.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're straightening it.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's. I know here. I know in like for example, in the United States, if you look at the 50s rock and roll era, a number of performers of African American heritage would do a so called process.
Josh Arnold
Oh, sure.
Tom Griswold
On their hair to make it straighter. Yeah. Which is silly to have to do that. But now I think it's kind of gone away. I hope. But to do that in the pubic region aren't the like toxic chemicals that straighten the hair?
Josh Arnold
Oh, I don't know that, that any of that.
Christy Lee
I don't think they're Using product. They're usually just using a round brush and heat.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Like PubAid. It wasn't bad.
Josh Arnold
It was soft. I mean, it wasn't like it poked me, you know?
Jeff Oskay
Ladies, trying tonight. Get back to us tomorrow.
Christy Lee
I might. I might try it. I'm curious.
Jess Hooker
I can't.
Tom Griswold
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Josh Arnold
Are you a baby, too?
Tom Griswold
Someone just got very happy. Well, that actually is the perfect segue. Speaking of international pubic hair, to get to this, this year's version of the male member size rankings for the year 2025. Have you got it, Christy?
Jess Hooker
An outfit called Data Panda published the male member size rankings for 2025. The website lists the countries with the longest tumescent member. So a happy member.
Josh Arnold
This is all length.
Jess Hooker
Length, yes.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Although they do both.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they do girth.
Tom Griswold
It will start with length.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. The length goes to number five. We'll go five to one.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Jess Hooker
Ghana at 6.81 inches. Number four. Republic of the Congo at 6.82.
Tom Griswold
Close.
Jess Hooker
Very close. Yeah, that was one lick away.
Tom Griswold
But you gotta lean into it at the finish line.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Ecuador at 6.93.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
Democratic Republic of the Congo at 7.06.
Josh Arnold
And what was the other?
Jess Hooker
Congo Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Apparently there are two.
Josh Arnold
One has more submachine guns.
Jess Hooker
And the winner. The winner, from the country of Sudan, 7.47 inches.
Tom Griswold
The only good thing to come out of there this year, year, 7.47. And again, my problem with this is Sudan. Is this based on self reporting?
Jess Hooker
I doubt it.
Josh Arnold
There must be some sort of proof.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, there has to be.
Christy Lee
Do they. Like when. When you go to the doctor and they put us on the scale and they see how high they are, do they also measure your penis?
Josh Arnold
I've never had my penis measured and I've never measured it myself.
Christy Lee
What?
Josh Arnold
I really do not know.
Christy Lee
You've had a girl measure it?
Josh Arnold
No, I've never had it measured and I've never done it.
Jeff Oskay
Wait, you've measured one?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Like with a tape measure?
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Like, you got it out and the tape measure out?
Christy Lee
Yeah, I have. I. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
By the way. By the way, the correct answer to make certain people happy would have been with the yardstick, but keep going.
Christy Lee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You haven't done that, like, that's funny, have you, Jeff?
Jeff Oskay
No, I did when I was younger and I was shocked. Like my first wife. I was like, look, seven inches. And she was like, you aren't supposed to start measuring at your B hole. And I was like, oh. Oh, that. Thank you. Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Thank you for, for the clarity, Christy.
Jess Hooker
Now we go.
Tom Griswold
You don't have to answer this question. Have you ever been involved in any kind of measurement of that?
Jess Hooker
I have never done that. No. No, I've never.
Christy Lee
Odd girl out. Sorry.
Tom Griswold
Have you done. Have you done it more than once?
Christy Lee
No, actually, I've not done it more than once.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, you made it sound like you were just measured everywhere you went.
Tom Griswold
You made it sound like you had a little booklet. Yeah, like, with code names and.
Christy Lee
No. Yeah, no, it was just. It was so. It.
Tom Griswold
It.
Christy Lee
It's so big that I wanted. I wanted to know how big it was.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Would you. Would you. Do you have the number in your head?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Would you tell us? You don't have to. You do not have to.
Christy Lee
Between nine and ten.
Pat Godwin
Whoa.
Tom Griswold
No.
Jess Hooker
That's huge.
Josh Arnold
That's really something. Jason, our producer, just brought in a tape measure, and Jess is. Is bringing out.
Christy Lee
That's 100%.
Josh Arnold
So. It is. And you're not a fan of size faces.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I am.
Josh Arnold
I thought you said you didn't like too big. No.
Jeff Oskay
Remember, she.
Christy Lee
No.
Josh Arnold
Shaquille O'Neal is one of her main crushes.
Christy Lee
That's inanimate objects. This is a whole different game.
Josh Arnold
I mean, that is longer than your face.
Tom Griswold
That's.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it is.
Tom Griswold
I, I, I'll just call HR for myself to get it. Now, Christy, they also did. They also did girth, but I'd like to skip ahead and go to the, the other side of this thing. This survey. The smallest average.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Length.
Jess Hooker
Yes, yes. Tumescent. Number five mirror. Is it Myanmar?
Tom Griswold
3.9.
Jess Hooker
It used to be.
Tom Griswold
Was it Ceylon or Burma? I can never Remember.
Jess Hooker
Myanmar at 3.98 inches.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
Nepal at 3.93. Cambodia.
Josh Arnold
It is cold.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And especially it's awful when you got to measure it next to Mount Everest.
Josh Arnold
Hey, look at that.
Tom Griswold
Oh, great. Thanks. I'll just back up my Sherpa thing and climb up the hill. No gloves.
Jess Hooker
Cambodia comes. Cambodia comes in at number three at 3.87 inches. Smallest average penis length. That's where we're going. Number two, North Korea, 3.78. And Thailand wins at 3.71.
Tom Griswold
Okay, thus reinforcing every stereotype again. I'm always skeptical.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. I don't have the average for the United States, but I do know we ranked 68th, you know, out of was 200 or whatever.
Tom Griswold
That's why I'm wearing my hat.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Why?
Tom Griswold
My. My MABA hat. Make America big again. My program to. What we need to start doing is letting in more immigrants from Sudan. Apparently that'll throw the average up because they're still Americans.
Josh Arnold
My God.
Tom Griswold
I. You know, that's what we need to do to get those ranks up there.
Josh Arnold
Who's the girthiest?
Jess Hooker
The girthiest would be France at 5.37 inches.
Tom Griswold
That's weird.
Josh Arnold
Circumference. I guess.
Jess Hooker
It said white is penis. Girth.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Girth would be around. Right.
Josh Arnold
It has to be around.
Jess Hooker
Around.
Tom Griswold
I would assume it would be diameter.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Either way, either one of those numbers would. I don't. I don't know how they do it.
Jess Hooker
This is real close. Netherlands at 5.33. Ecuador at 5.29.
Josh Arnold
So Ecuador's got a. They're in the length and girth. Wow.
Tom Griswold
Is there something about the equator maybe. Have you noticed. Hang on a second. I got to do this math in my head. A lot of these countries that have the large male members seem to be somewhat near the equator.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Belgium.
Tom Griswold
Is there something to be said in all seriousness about.
Jess Hooker
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
You know, in evolution.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
As. As man emerged from.
Jess Hooker
Maybe you can get a grant and study that.
Josh Arnold
The primordial ooze.
Tom Griswold
Yes. And they. And they migrated north. Was there an advantage to having a smaller male member? If you had a big one, would it freeze and fall off? Maybe.
Jeff Oskay
Maybe near the equator you didn't have to wear underwear because it was warmer. So you could let it grow and do its thing. Whereas in a colder thing, you gotta keep it.
Tom Griswold
If you're in the jungle, there's all kinds of critters that are gonna jump out of the bushes and grab it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
But this was before. Close.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Maybe it looks more like a snake. So a tiger would be less likely to. I'm not going up to that thing. It has a snake on it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Whereas. Whereas that guy over there. Dick needle. I'm gonna.
Josh Arnold
Maybe we should revisit this after a palate cleanser. A musical palate cleanser.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Okay. That. We can. We can certainly do that. I. This is fascinating.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Maybe we should draw this up, see if we can get a grant.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
We're practically scientists. I want to just get this in my head very clearly. That places that have, like, really clean water seem to have smaller male members.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
It's kind of a trade off there. You think about all these places.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Christy Lee
Get one or the other.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
So the people in Flint are hung.
Tom Griswold
Like they could be.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
So I say give me a large One and a Brita. And I'll just drink the tap water.
Josh Arnold
Thailand has the most noble water. I think we learned a lot, especially now. We learned why Jess sits on a pillow.
Tom Griswold
Okay, well, we're gonna. We're gonna take a break here. I think we'll come back with this. We've got. Mr. Godwin has been rehearsing with. With Dane Clark. We're gonna come back with their song.
Jess Hooker
Well, we have to wrap this up then because we didn't get to 4 and 5 on our list of widest penis girth.
Tom Griswold
No, I'm sorry.
Jess Hooker
Tie between Belgium and Denmark at 5.22.
Jeff Oskay
All right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
And that'll put a nice little bow on our penis.
Josh Arnold
I did that once.
Jess Hooker
Did you?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it was Christmas.
Jeff Oskay
Did you really?
Tom Griswold
Was it. Was it a clip on?
Josh Arnold
No, I never did.
Tom Griswold
Here's something interesting. What? Speaking of the male member, one of the most famous male members out there, of course, is the statue of David David.
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Curators are concerned. This is at the. The Galleria del Academia. Sorry about the way I pronounce that. They're concerned about the souvenirs sold around Florence. You've been there, right?
Jess Hooker
I've been there.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, me too. It's. I mean, it's amazing. Yeah. It is the most beautiful place. The attorney. The state's attorney of Italy has launched court cases going after. They have a special. What do you call, like, set of laws about various art. And they're apparently upset because there are versions of smaller versions of the statue of David. David that are being created with larger genitalia.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no kidding.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Well, that's because they aren't made out of marble. Like, that's why the penises were so small back then. Because that's a cold stone.
Tom Griswold
Wow. But they're actually. They're going after people because they have a special. Special copyright rules, apparently, according to this article.
Jess Hooker
A good idea.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So you won't be able to buy that. That T shirt that said with a picture of the statue. David. A grower, not a shower. I'm not sure how you say that in Italian.
Jeff Oskay
I would buy that T shirt.
Jess Hooker
Oh, it's pretty funny.
Tom Griswold
Wow. That is really amazing.
Jess Hooker
A funny T shirt.
Tom Griswold
I. But I mean, wow. That they have a law about that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Most famous statues, they just don't want it being parodied.
Jeff Oskay
How are they allowed to recreate it at all?
Josh Arnold
That's what I wonder if the law has more to do with that or. I don't know.
Jess Hooker
That's why I always got. Really. And I know, there's a. But some of these souvenirs at the Vatican seem very inappropriate, appropriate to me. And I don't know how they don't if they're gonna go after this, David.
Jeff Oskay
The Vatican squirting flower.
Jess Hooker
Some of these things are just, you know, the Pope is the Pope. You don't want to put him on toilet paper or whatever.
Tom Griswold
What?
Josh Arnold
That would be crazy.
Jess Hooker
I'm using that as an example. I don't know if they have Pope dog.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
I would certainly hope not.
Jess Hooker
I would hope not. Thank you.
Tom Griswold
They call papal paper. I don't know. Also, we have something in the news involved. We had an interesting story from Mr. Jeff Oskay yesterday about the so called C ring. We have yet another story about that I found in the news when I was doing some research, actually. Quite fascinating. Now when we come back, we've got Patty G. With a new song featuring Dane Clark and the Backroom Boys. They've been working on this for the last few minutes. So I know they were rehearsing it yesterday. I don't know what it is, but we're going to find out. And we do have a link to Dane's new project if you go to the various Bob and Tom social media platforms. I'm certainly looking forward to that. Also coming up, we have some fascinating things in the world of news about the. Believe it or not, the origin story of the Graham Cracker is going to blow your mind.
Jeff Oskay
All right.
Tom Griswold
You're not, you're going to be quite surprised why the Graham Cracker exists. When we return. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Dane Clark
Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Catch any part of the show you missed later today on our YouTube channel.
Tom Griswold
Bravo TV star Lala Kent holds nothing back on the Give Them Lala podcast. No, I have a very short view. Get to know the TV personality. I don't need to watch the show.
Josh Arnold

Tom Griswold

Jess Hooker
Let me tell you something about breastfeeding to business and beyond.
Tom Griswold

Christy Lee
This is where we implement a big.
Jess Hooker
Set of ovaries and then we obsess.
Tom Griswold

That's a Pat Godwin with a special guest appearance by Dane Clark and the Back Room Boys. That was a great arrangement, fellas. Eric Skull on the guitar. Love that little interlude he hit in there. That's fantastic. So much fun and so. And so nice. Pat, It's. It's great to have your songs elevated to that level.
Pat Godwin
The famous Dane Clark in the back room, boys and girl.
Tom Griswold
Oh, thanks. That was great, fellas. I certainly appreciate it. We'll get back to the band coming up. They are the house band today, but right now we have to return. Now, where were we? Oh, when we last spoke, we were talking about. Oh, that survey about the size of the male members and the. The interesting aspect of that thing in Italy where the. Whatever it is the attorney general is. They're going after people that are parroting.
Jess Hooker
The statue of David, basically.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we have, I guess, well, the famous French sculptor Rodin has, of course, the Thinker. One of the most famous sculpt. Wouldn't you say that's one of the most famous statues or sculptures? Wonder what he's thinking.
Jess Hooker
Probably thinking he wishes his member was bigger.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I think so.
Tom Griswold
Wishing he had a cell phone. Phone. That'd be. That'd be today's Thinker.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
This guy's sitting there staring at a phone.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Rodan's Wordle.
Tom Griswold
But now we turn over to the SILAC Insurance news desk with Christy Lee.
Jess Hooker
We have some sad news about male strippers. Did you see this story?
Christy Lee
Oh.
Jess Hooker
A company that organizes bachelor and bachelorette parties say strippers are facing stiff competition from escape rooms and ax throwing. Oh, that's right. For example, bachelorette parties featuring a troop of male strippers known as butlers in the Buff saw a 70% drop. And the number of bachelor parties visiting strip clubs reportedly declined 70%.
Josh Arnold
Whoa.
Jess Hooker
40. 40. Organizers report folks are instead opting for escape rooms, axe throwing, karaoke booths, and mini golf instead of the traditional strip clubs or male strippers.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jeff Oskay
I love the ax throwing. We've been taking the kids. They love it.
Jess Hooker
Are you serious?
Josh Arnold
Ye.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. We go to this ax drawing place, and my kids also love the escape rooms, which I hate.
Jess Hooker
Oh, I hate.
Jeff Oskay
But what I've started doing is bringing an axe to the escape room. Way easier. Way easier.
Josh Arnold
You're out of there in, like, 30 seconds.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
I'm like, man, why'd I just spend 200 bucks?
Tom Griswold
So what you're saying is to improve stripper business, you give a stripper a hatchet and then.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, yeah, I never thought.
Jess Hooker
I didn't know they let kids throw axes.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, yeah. How big are these axes?
Jeff Oskay
They're like a hatchet.
Christy Lee
It's like okay. Yeah. Like cutting wood in your backyard. Type X.
Tom Griswold
But I mean, is the handle a couple of feet long?
Abigail Clark
It's about.
Jeff Oskay
So what you have to. They have to two hand it.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Because a hatchet is essentially the size of the average claw hammer. Right.
Jeff Oskay
It's. It's a little bit bigger than that, but they still have to two handed over their head to throw it.
Jess Hooker
How far do you throw it?
Jeff Oskay
Probably 20ft, I was gonna say.
Christy Lee
Yeah, 15, 20ft. Yeah, I think you're right.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Jeff Oskay
And every once in a while hit and bounce back at you.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
If it hits wrong. Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Videos are terrible.
Jess Hooker
Are you drinking beer at the time?
Jeff Oskay
Some people are. We don't. We don't drink with the kids.
Tom Griswold
I mean. I mean, you're telling me the ax can come all the way back at you?
Jeff Oskay
Oh, yeah. Over your head. I mean, you got duck. The people behind you have to watch out.
Christy Lee
I don't know who's insuring these people. This is insane.
Jeff Oskay
Every once in a while it'll bounce back. This sounds like again it's bounced back twice.
Josh Arnold
Okay. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
So it's not like every time.
Tom Griswold
Twice. So yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You get an ax in the head.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. Well, you know what though?
Josh Arnold
We. I've never seen a story of somebody being killed.
Christy Lee
I haven't either.
Jeff Oskay
Right.
Josh Arnold
Or even injured.
Jeff Oskay
We would have covered it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's true.
Josh Arnold
So something's.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I don't know what's.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Jess Hooker
Have you done the escape room? I've not done that.
Tom Griswold
I'm. That's the last thing on earth I would ever do.
Christy Lee
No, I would never did it a couple of times.
Jeff Oskay
My son loves them.
Josh Arnold
Zero. You have to work together. I don't like being in a place that they won't let me out.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I can see that.
Tom Griswold
Although if I went to a bachelor party and there was a stripper, I would escape and leave.
Jess Hooker
What if it was a stripper throwing axes in an escape room?
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. This gets complicated.
Josh Arnold
Watching a stripper beat your friend with a belt is one of the great joys in life.
Christy Lee
There's a guy dynamic. And I get it that that's something that you guys enjoy, but as a. I've never enjoyed going to a strip club and watching a guy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but do you like the. What were they called? What were they called? The Butlers of. What was it again?
Josh Arnold
In the buff.
Tom Griswold
The Butlers in the buff. Do you like the male stripper thing?
Christy Lee
That's what I'm talking about. No, I'm just not. Okay.
Jess Hooker
The Thunder down Under is not to be missed. They are so fun.
Christy Lee
Oh, I've seen that. I saw that in New York. That was. That was a performance. But I'm talking about if we went over here to Pendleton Pike. Like, let's be real. I'm not trying to see those.
Josh Arnold
Is that an area where there are strippers?
Christy Lee
Well, there's a.
Jess Hooker
They have male strippers.
Josh Arnold
They have co ed nights.
Christy Lee
Yeah, they have co ed nights. And. And a stepbrother and a stepsister I went to high school with worked the same night together.
Josh Arnold
I mean, that is okay.
Tom Griswold
TV broken, nothing to do. Can't bowl, can't throw axes. Oh, well, thank you very much. Coming up, we're gonna find out about. About Christmas trees and why you shouldn't eat them.
Jess Hooker
And do you know what the biggest month for divorce is? We'll have that coming up.
Tom Griswold
Anyone want to guess? Well, we'll come back, think about it for a minute and we'll find out. Once again, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Josh Arnold
Pat Godwin's over there.
Pat Godwin
Hey, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Jess Hooker across the way.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Josh Arnold
Jeff Oskay with an important message.
Jeff Oskay
Thank O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts.
Josh Arnold
There's Ace Cosby. I'm Josh Arnold here at the I Hate stephensinger.com Sidekick chair.
Tom Griswold
And Tommy, that was probably the my ow for the O'Reilly Auto Parts. Maybe a little late there.
Josh Arnold
It was okay.
Tom Griswold
I couldn't squeeze my owl in right now. That's all. That's real music happening right there. Real musicians. Dane Clark in the back room. Boys are the house band Today. Got a new project out there just coming out. First component of that has just been released a couple hours ago and you can find the links to that at the various Bob and Tom social media sites. Dane, thank you very much. I really enjoyed your treatment of Pat Godwin song just a few minutes ago.
Dane Clark
That was a lot of fun.
Tom Griswold
That was great. That was right. Pat song about to please steal my identity. You're. You'd be happy to have someone take it. They're more than welcome to it. I particularly enjoyed passing along your Social Security number. That's going to be what is.
Jess Hooker
Really smart idea there, buddy.
Tom Griswold
It's like the 867-5309 of Social Security. Okay, well, thank you very much. We'll get back with Dane and et cetera, et cetera. But first we have to go back to the SILAC insurance news desk with Christy Lee.
Jess Hooker
Hey. According to the New York Post, January often sees a rise in breakups, with the first working Monday of the year being called Divorce Day.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Jess Hooker
Many couples see the holiday season as the last straw for their relationship and tend to wait until the new year to avoid a messy holiday breakup, making January the most difficult month for couples. That has earned it the title divorce month in legal circles. Attorney Rebecca Palmer writes, heading toward divorce during the holidays can feel like navigating a snowstorm with no clear road ahead. Stressful, overwhelming, full of obstacles. But don't worry, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It's the fresh start that January can bring. Waiting until the new year to file for divorce might seem festive or might not seem festive, but it could be your favorite gift of the season because the timing of this decision can have significant financial, legal, and emotional impacts. Happy Christmas. Here's your divorce papers.
Josh Arnold
So the.
Tom Griswold
The lawyer is essentially saying don't wait, right? Get it over with in January in the. Well, she's saying get it over with before the holidays kind of. But I guess this is where the reality is. It's more. More popular in the month of January.
Jess Hooker
No, she says it's the fresh start January can bring. So maybe you and you could tell them at the holidays. By the way, we'll get through this and then don't worry. We're gonna break up in January.
Pat Godwin
You can't break up during the holidays. That's just tacky.
Jess Hooker
You can't.
Tom Griswold
Now you can give signals like, no gift. I got you a give crappy gift. Got your set of. Got you a set of steak knives for Christmas.
Jess Hooker
How'd that work?
Pat Godwin
Here's your vitamins.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
There's a gift card to U Haul.
Pat Godwin
Home Depot. Your next Home Depot.
Tom Griswold
I mean, that's really interesting. I mean, so what they're saying in effect is if you're. If you're a divorce lawyer, this is like being the. The proprietor of a gym in January.
Jess Hooker
Exactly. Your numbers go up.
Tom Griswold
So maybe you should open up your legal offices next to a gym every January, make arrangements that go to your local gym, and could I put up a desk in your lobby?
Jess Hooker
Lose her. Lose the weight.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's usually how it goes.
Tom Griswold
Wow, that is really interesting. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Okay, well, I guess hand in hand, they do.
Christy Lee
You always know a breakup's happening when.
Jess Hooker
Somebody loses a lot of weight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Pat Godwin
The divorce diet.
Jess Hooker
Yep.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Very effective.
Jess Hooker
Very.
Tom Griswold
You know, I've. For years, I had this idea that ended up elsewhere, but. Which was a restaurant for guys that were getting divorced. You'd walk in and it was just a series of sinks and the counter, and you would just stand there and make sense. Eat over the sink. Yeah, yeah. You get used to it. Okay. I'm sorry.
Jess Hooker
Speaking of the holidays, you're being advised not to eat your Christmas tree. Belgium's food agency warning people against eating Christmas trees. According to Euro News, the country's federal food agency, issued this advisory after the city of Ghent's local council launched a tree recycling campaign, which suggested people eat their old trees.
Tom Griswold
Eat?
Jess Hooker
Yes. The council reportedly recommended making flavored butter and soap from the pine needles.
Tom Griswold
Soup.
Jess Hooker
Oh, soup. Did I say soap? Yeah, soup from the pine needles, which it said was inspired by traditional Scandinavian recipes.
Josh Arnold
Huh.
Jess Hooker
However, in response, the FASFC said Christmas trees are not meant to be eaten, noting most are treated with pesticides and flame retardant chemicals. The agency warned there's no easy way for consumers to tell if their Christmas tree has been treated. Not knowing could have serious, even fatal consequences.
Tom Griswold
Oh, come on. I mean, who's that stupid? First of all, if you're gonna eat it, take the lights off first.
Jeff Oskay
Right.
Tom Griswold
Those ornaments are good.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Those are just garnished.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. That tree topper could really make you choke.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah. Those are the same people, though, back on Halloween that tell you not to hump your jack O. Lantern. So I don't believe. I don't believe them.
Josh Arnold
Victimless crime.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
It's called Squishy Town.
Tom Griswold
Squishy. I mean, there. But where do they take all the Christmas trees?
Jess Hooker
What do you mean? Where do they take them?
Christy Lee
Christmas tree heaven.
Tom Griswold
I mean, recycle them.
Jess Hooker
They make them into mulch. Don't they?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I. I don't know. Yeah, I know they took the one off my tree lawn when I put it there to get rid of it.
Jess Hooker
But they picked it up.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
You have a tree service?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I don't know.
Josh Arnold
They take those.
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Josh Arnold
They take them and mulch them.
Christy Lee
Amy did. Amy put it in the back of her truck and took it. Oh, she did, probably.
Josh Arnold
And the pickup services people are always.
Tom Griswold
Now, I. I know that I want to. At some places they take him and they throw them in the in lakes and they. It creates a good place for fish.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I'm all for it.
Christy Lee
That's fine.
Tom Griswold
But I mean, there are obviously, there are millions of them and I'm. I'm a real tree Christmas tree person. I know a lot of you guys are.
Christy Lee
We burn ours. Yeah. We live in a county where you can burn. So it's.
Josh Arnold
Take it out and burn it.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You don't burn in the living room or anything, do you?
Christy Lee
No, we take it. We take it. We take it in the backyard to the fire pit and burn it.
Josh Arnold
Is that part of any sort of Christmas tradition? Like, hey, it's. It's tree burning day. And then you go out and have a little fun.
Christy Lee
Yeah. We stand out there and get warm. Get some red.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's kind of fun.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's nice.
Tom Griswold
Do you have to throw anything on it, like an accelerant?
Christy Lee
No, like you said the other day, but by. By Christmas, it's usually ready to go. It's usually a hazard in the house. Yeah. So it doesn't take much to get it to go up in flames.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But I know obviously in contemporary culture, we're trying to recycle everything and reuse everything and not throw anything away. And.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Just for the record, only burn the live trees.
Christy Lee
Yeah, don't burn.
Jeff Oskay
Like, don't burn your artificial tree to get rid of that.
Josh Arnold
Hurts the lungs. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I imagine huffing. Huffing Chinese plastic in the backyard. Probably a bad idea.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow, interesting. Everyone's trying to do the right thing, but you don't need to eat your Christmas tree.
Jess Hooker
And most Christmas trees. We're going to segue into another story. Leave a lot of pine needles on the ground. Right. So you have to vacuum. A robot vacuum is making the debut at CES this year, and it promises to pick up your socks even with an AI powered arm.
Tom Griswold
You're watching what?
Jess Hooker
Socks.
Tom Griswold
Oh, socks.
Jess Hooker
What do you think I said?
Tom Griswold
Never mind.
Josh Arnold
I thought, you know, that's a vacuum. I might Purchase.
Jess Hooker
Roborock unveiled its Soros Z70 vacuum cleaner, equipped with an intelligent and foldable robotic arm. According to the company Omni Grip, the arm is designed to deploy itself for cleaning previously obstructed areas and handling small items like socks, small towels, tissue paper, and lightweight sandals. It can also use AI for navigation, vacuuming, and mopping.
Tom Griswold
You know, the Consumer Electronics show really is kind of. I don't know what I mean. This is their. This is the marquee device.
Josh Arnold
I think it's a lot like a fashion show. One of those things where the wacky weird stuff is on display, but really they're just promoting the brand.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Because, I mean, 15 years ago, whatever, the iPhone, you know, this stuff that revolutionizes.
Jess Hooker
You wouldn't get a robo the way that would pick up your socks.
Josh Arnold
No, Never.
Tom Griswold
No. And I'm. I'm kind of. With Josh. I had one of those. What's the. What's the thing called? That looks like a big disc room. The Roomba. Yeah. I haven't had that out in years. Yeah, I've got one, but as Josh pointed out, it. It does half of a room and you have to empty it.
Josh Arnold
I can't imagine it hasn't. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
And this one has an arm on it to.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Stuff up.
Jess Hooker
Yep.
Jeff Oskay
It seems to.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah. If you can't pick up your socks and your underwear.
Josh Arnold
Shouldn't have a robot.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
And that's the last thing teenagers need. One more reason to not do anything.
Jeff Oskay
Although, have you seen the new Tesla robots, Tom?
Tom Griswold
No.
Jeff Oskay
It is unbelievable. Like, it walks, it talks. It could run a vacuum for you and pick up your socks for you.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Apparently.
Jeff Oskay
Unbelievable.
Tom Griswold
There.
Josh Arnold
There are some. Some. Some people saying we will all have those. Very. Like, they're sooner than we really.
Jeff Oskay
They're only like. I mean, I can't afford it, but they're only like $30,000.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, they're going to be.
Jeff Oskay
Which seems like not enough.
Josh Arnold
Decades from now, a human robot will be fairly standard. Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Wow.
Josh Arnold
Which is crazy.
Christy Lee
That is crazy.
Josh Arnold
But, hey, you know, it's unbelievable.
Jeff Oskay
If you haven't seen the videos, look them up. The Tesla robot is. It will blow your mind. You ask it questions, it talks to you, it can answer questions, it can wave, it can dance, it can walk around.
Tom Griswold
Sadly, I. I don't know much about it, but I've got a feeling someone's gonna do a. Yeah, an offshoot called Jack.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I mean, even this one. It's a Roomba with an arm, Right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Hello.
Jeff Oskay
Till they have hacked that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, is it, is it, is it chopping wood close or there's wood involved? Coming up, we're going to talk with a comedian. Al Jackson will be our guest. We're going to get some music out of our house band today. Dane Clark and the Backroom Boys. Also, we have a really unusual story about the, the, I guess it's the origin story of graham crackers, which sounds like it's going to be really boring. It isn't. And it's extraordinary, really. You'll be quite surprised when you find out why the graham cracker was invented. Certainly in contemporary culture, the graham cracker most, most associated, of course, with s'mores and marshmallow use. Also coming up, we have an unfortunate incident at a Thanksgiving. You know, the family gets together, of course, and then somebody gets stabbed. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Josh Arnold
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're here at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio. Really fun morning this morning with a terrific house band. Joining us, Tom, Dane Clark. Yes.
Tom Griswold
And the Back room Boys. We're gonna get another song out of in just a few minutes. Also, we're gonna work on that new jingle we've been working on for the Raycon here earbuds. Oh, I think we've been there. They're getting closer.
Josh Arnold
If you have a history on that.
Pat Godwin
Every time, it's better.
Tom Griswold
Look forward to that.
Josh Arnold
Listen, Oregon, I love that Dane and.
Tom Griswold
The boys have a new project with the boys and the girls have a new album out there. It's in, we have links to it, I should say at all the Bob and Tom social media platforms. Go to check it out right now. Beautiful, beautiful album cover. Again. We, the contemporary culture has kind of tossed the album cover away, but there still some great art out there and you can enjoy this one, get a look, see at it. If you go to bobandtom.com et cetera, et cetera, I know what's going on.
Josh Arnold
Wasn't it nice to hear Jane explain to us who the artist was as opposed to just saying, oh, yeah, AI did that.
Jess Hooker
Yes, absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Real artist.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Well, hey, Dane, you mentioned that this, this artist has done a bunch of the covers for the great band Canadian trio Rush.
Dane Clark
That's correct. It's Hugh Sime. We have a podcast together, myself, Hugh Simeon and Andy Wilson Music Buzz podcast with three Z's. So check that out. But Hugh's a good buddy of mine and that helps with once again, it's.
Tom Griswold
It's a very realistic painting of. It's the. The album is a guru's hitman in heaven. A. It's a very realistic painting of. What's the word I'm looking for? And what do you call, like a.
Jess Hooker
A yogi?
Tom Griswold
Like. Yeah, that would be better. Not. Not the cartoon bear, but potentially reached.
Josh Arnold
Enlightenment because he's levitating, it looks like.
Tom Griswold
It looks like Gandhi walked up to him and said, hey, buddy, how about a sandwich? Yes, very thin, this guy. Skeletal, I think is the word. Wow. Hey. Ozempic overdose.
Jess Hooker
Oh my God.
Tom Griswold
Nonetheless, as an art work of art, it's. It's really nice.
Dane Clark
Thank you very much. He will be glad to hear that.
Tom Griswold
Okay. And. And by the way, he's holding a rose. The.
Josh Arnold
Oh, cool. What's the word?
Tom Griswold
I'm.
Jess Hooker
There's a.
Josh Arnold
There's a. I don't know.
Tom Griswold
But anyway, that's what. It's a beautiful cover. We'll hear from the boys. Another tune coming up in just a few minutes. In the meantime, I'll also tell you that we have Al Jackson, comedian on the way and right now she's over there. Yeah, she is. Christy Lee. And she's of course at the Silac insurance news desk. What else is going on?
Jess Hooker
Well, you've been teasing this story all morning about graham crackers.
Josh Arnold
Yum.
Jess Hooker
It seems like a harmless snack, right?
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Jess Hooker
Well, the origins are far from wholesome. Graham crackers were invented in the 19th century by Sylvester Graham, who sought to, quote, unquote, cure masturbation and quell sexual urges by eating the crackers.
Josh Arnold
This was one of those Kellogg used to. The same thing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
That weird thing.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. Mr. Graham believed carnal desire caused headaches, epilepsy, and even insanity. Historian Adam Sprinson, who has written about the cracker's origin, said Mr. Graham argued that food, like meat, coffee and spices, excited carnal urges.
Josh Arnold
Oh, sure.
Jess Hooker
So he began promoting a vegetarian whole grain diet. It pat purify the body.
Tom Griswold
How's that going for you, Foster?
Jess Hooker
A healthy chase life.
Josh Arnold
Are you less horny?
Jess Hooker
Are you chased?
Pat Godwin
No, I'm always horny. It's not going away. You can't stop me. Graham cracker's gonna stop me from having that myself.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. When it comes to chased, only people chasing Pat or collectors, it's like, what.
Jeff Oskay
Did these men walk in on that? They were like, I can't have anyone masturbating anymore in this. Like, who cares what somebody's doing? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, or. Or they had, like, a teenage son.
Josh Arnold
That was just having. They may have also had, like, a really strong biblical worldview. You don't know. Yeah. Who knows?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
The graham crackers transformation into the sweet snack we know today came back in the 1890s, when, of course, the fabulous Nabisco company purchased them.
Josh Arnold
It's a good, good cracker.
Jess Hooker
And they added sugar and cinnamon to make the bland cracker more palatable. Palatable.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. See, I don't mind those, but I prefer just the plain.
Christy Lee
I don't like that. I don't like the honey and cinnamon either.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I mean, they're fine.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
But I want a traditional graham.
Tom Griswold
But I think the original graham crackers were probably tasteless.
Jess Hooker
Probably.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So they've certainly improved. And they're most associated, at least in my mind, with s'mores. And ironically, you think about it, a melted marshmallow kind of looks like the results of masturbatory behavior.
Jeff Oskay
Thanks for ruining s'mores.
Pat Godwin
Now fluffernutter takes.
Josh Arnold
I've never wanted one more.
Tom Griswold
I mean, if you're doing it right, you should get a mushroom.
Josh Arnold
We used to just dunk them in milk, so.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
And I had a head. So you know how they're the large rectangles that they're quadrants so that you.
Jess Hooker
Can break them off.
Josh Arnold
But there was always fun. The gamble of dipping the whole thing and getting it the perfect amount of milk without it falling apart.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
And then having to retrieve it from the bottom of the ground.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. With a spoon. Or with another grammar.
Tom Griswold
Oh, man.
Jeff Oskay
Whoever came up with the idea of breaking those up and making a crust out of them.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
The graham cracker crust is one of the best things that happened in the last 20 years.
Josh Arnold
I don't know anybody that's disappointed when they read in a description of a dessert. Graham cracker cr.
Jeff Oskay
I'm always excited.
Christy Lee
Graham cracker. And then add crunched pretzels. That's the best One.
Josh Arnold
One.
Jeff Oskay
You did the other.
Tom Griswold
Now, do you. Do you buy ground up graham crackers? You take them and just put them in a baggie with a hammer in a box.
Christy Lee
But no, I buy the graham crackers already put together.
Josh Arnold
You can buy crumbled graham cracker or you can buy, like, the.
Jeff Oskay
How lazy are you?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. No kidding.
Christy Lee
You actually. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Just shake the box.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.

Christy Lee
Very good.
Tom Griswold
Really? Oh, that was delightful.
Jess Hooker
I'm surprised you have hot dogs at your house. I'm surpr.
Tom Griswold
Oh, well, these hot dogs, I mean, they had to get permission of the pigs to die.
Josh Arnold
They're probably.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, these are, these are, these are so organic.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's what I buy. Free range pigs.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
You know, Ace would lose his mind. My hot dogs for six is like eight, nine dollars.
Jess Hooker
Oh, my God.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. These things are, you know, grass fed, blessed by the pope or something. They're very, very.
Christy Lee
They're delicious too.
Tom Griswold
They're, they're, they're very tasty.
Josh Arnold
They really are good.
Jess Hooker
Well, a guy in Wisconsin could have used some graham crackers. He's been arrested for allegedly masturbating inside a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. For those of you who aren't familiar with that. According to Kenosha police officers, they responded to the Piggly Wiggly following a report the man had been inappropriately touching himself.
Tom Griswold
Inside the store as opposed to appropriately touching himself.
Jess Hooker
An employee told police they initially thought that he was trying to steal something, but soon realized that he had completed on the floor and left.
Josh Arnold
Completed on the floor.
Jess Hooker
Authorities identified the 32 year old. He was taken into custody.
Tom Griswold
Please tell me his first name was Jack.
Jess Hooker
I don't have his name.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sorry.
Jess Hooker
He was arrested on one misdemeanor count of lewd and lascivious behavior.
Josh Arnold
I'll say.
Tom Griswold
At a piggly. Will you? This is more 711 behavior.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Come on up in aisle seven. Oh, did somebody spill some milk?
Tom Griswold
No, that a marshmallow? Oh, boy. So he was the piggly. You ever been to a Piggly Wiggly?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, My grandfather used to live next to a Piggly Wiggly in West Virginia.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're great.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I'm not sure what their footprint is with respect to the geography of the Piggly Wig.
Pat Godwin
I'm surprised I can tell you what the footprint is.
Josh Arnold
At this store.
Tom Griswold
And then that kind of reminds me, I'm not sure about the calendar on this, but we had the story about come and go, which is a like a 711 type. What is it? Bodega? What do they call them?
Jess Hooker
Convenience store.
Tom Griswold
Convenience store. Thank you very much. They. They're changing the signs.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they're changing the name of it, but I forget what they're changing it to.
Jeff Oskay
Jizz and Jet. No.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Jess Hooker
You can look that up if you want to know.
Tom Griswold
That wouldn't work because. Oh, I see.
Pat Godwin
Your pump.
Jeff Oskay
Maybe.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Okay.
Tom Griswold
All right. Okay. Load and leave. I don't know. I'm sorry.
Pat Godwin
We got gifted the come and go merchandise at one of our last gigs.

Josh Arnold

Tom Griswold
Now, I got a request here. Dane.
Dane Clark

Tom Griswold
This comes to us from Mark. He. I can't really read the entire letter. There's some salty language in it. It's a special request for you to play the Raycon jingle.
Dane Clark

Tom Griswold

And the point is, if you're listening to this jingle down the rank ear buds, you'd be saying, this is. These things sound great. If Tom would shut up, I could actually hear these great guitars. They do stay in your ear. That's one of the advantages of Raycons they're not like those other ones those white ones that are so expensive that keep falling off on the floor.

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're here at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I having a great time with our wonderful house band this morning, the Dane Clark Band and the Back Room Boys.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much, Dana. Great pleasure to have you here. We certainly appreciate it. We'll be hearing more music from the fellows and another request for the the Raycon jingle there. Dear Tom, could you possibly get it right? Well I thought I did my best frankly. Well, thanks Dane. We'll get back to you guys in a moment. I have a really nice letter here. Oh. What are they saying about it? We talk about you know great gift giving and various things. I can't. I'll read part of it. It's about the field of Dreams whiskey.
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And our friend Drew Storen created this whiskey made from the corn in the in the fields where they filmed the movie Field of Dreams. And this guy says I just want to tell you that my father was diagnosed with a very serious illness and the last Christmases have been pretty tough. But he's a die hard baseball fan and a lifelong fan of The Texas Rangers. When you were talking about Field of Dreams Whiskey, I knew that it'd be the perfect gift for him. So this guy at the end of the story is his dad opened the Field of Dreams whiskey. And I, I told him all those stories how each, each bottle has a, you know, a special. Special. It indicates something about a special player.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Tom Griswold
And he was hoping for Nolan Ryan.
Josh Arnold
Sure.
Tom Griswold
Because that's. That was his dad's favorite player. However, it ended up being Eddie Gardell and he immediately started laughing.
Jess Hooker
And who's Eddie Gardell?
Tom Griswold
Isn't he the famous man short of stature that went to Browns for the Cubs?
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
With Bill Veck? I think that's something like that. In any event, it was a huge success and one of the best Christmases ever. So that's great. I'm glad it worked out.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. That is.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Sometimes something unusual can really be a terrific gift. So thanks to Drew Storn and the Field of Dreams whiskey boys.
Josh Arnold
And it's a tasty whiskey.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. We went to a bottle.
Josh Arnold
Yep.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, we did.
Tom Griswold
Once again, I. Oh, there's one bottle back there.
Josh Arnold
It went to you behind.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Jess Hooker
Josh too.
Tom Griswold
Aha. For now someone perhaps had lifted it. Doing a random survey of the room, we see that we have Mr. Jeff Oscar sitting in for Chick McGee. Chick's a little under the weather. We have Pat Godwin of course, over there in the hot seat. Great new song from Pat about having your identity stolen.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, thank you.
Tom Griswold
And a nice arrangement with you and Dane Clark in the band. And then let's see, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Check. Oh, I know what I wanted to say. It's the Steven Singer jeweler hot seat over there with Josh Arnold. And tomorrow we may have a special guest doing our shoeing of the week. Oh, okay. Depending on how if chicks feeling. Feeling good or not. So we have our winner for the final winner for our pigskin pick them competition. So we'll look forward to that tomorrow. NFL fans. Now we turn back to the Silac insurance news desk with Christy Lee.
Jess Hooker
Well, I don't know if whiskey was involved, but the sheriff's officials in Florida did arrest a man for allegedly stabbing his ex wife's new husband on Thanksgiving morning. The Escambia County Sheriff's office said 72 year old suspect Gregory Grant who was homeless but currently living with his ex wife and her new husband got into. That's always fun. Got into an argument with the victim and stabbed him in the upper abdomen.
Josh Arnold
I think it's so groovy now that.
Tom Griswold
People are finally getting together, think it's so groove, you know?
Jess Hooker
He was taken into custody on charge of attempted suicide or homicide.
Tom Griswold
Man, this was on Thanksgiving Day?
Jess Hooker
Thanksgiving Day, yes.
Tom Griswold
So they had turkey and a beef. I. Wow. Apparently the guy was trying to do his. His, whatever, wife's ex a favor. And what, I'm living with them?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, you can be appreciative. Not well, try to kill the guy.
Josh Arnold
Well.
Jess Hooker
Those passions run deep.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I mean, that is a tough situation. It sounds like they were trying to.
Jeff Oskay
Make the best of it in one.
Josh Arnold
Way and it just didn't work.
Tom Griswold
Let's get along this Thanksgiving. Let's. Let's talk about politics. We all managed to get through Thanksgiving and never thought we would.
Jess Hooker
We have a lot of news out of Colorado today too, by the way. A Colorado police officer was not near his squad car, but that didn't stop him. He still managed to help chase down a fleeing theft suspect. The officer used a child's bicycle to pursue the suspected felon. The Lone Tree. The Lone Tree Police Department said Officer Jacob Tarr was trying to arrest a suspect who took off running after committing a felony theft. Left the suspect, jumped several fences, stole a motorized scooter while TAR was in hot pursuit.
Josh Arnold
Hey. Hey, get back here. That's the bell on the bike.
Tom Griswold
Thank you. Thank you.
Jeff Oskay
People would have been lost without that description.
Josh Arnold
It was done rather clumsily.
Jeff Oskay
It was done beautifully.
Jess Hooker
The suspect might have had a scooter, but Ober had determination and a kid's bike.
Josh Arnold
That's cool.
Tom Griswold
I love the word commandeer.
Josh Arnold
I was going to say, did he have to do it from the kid?
Jess Hooker
Did he have to go, hey, buddy, I need your bike?
Tom Griswold
That's. That's one of those. Those movie tropes.
Josh Arnold
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
There's so many movies where the. The cop throws somebody out of a car. But yes, I suppose there's probably one where the cop comes up and goes, give me that bike, kid, and takes off after him.
Josh Arnold
So what are the.
Jeff Oskay
What.
Josh Arnold
What's the rule there? Because in the movies they commandeer the car, the person begrudgingly gives it up and that car is inevitably damaged.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
What is the. Will they reimburse you?
Jess Hooker
You would have to think they. The police department would be responsible.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that usually ends with the cop having to come in and the guy takes his gun and his badge.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
They never do. They never do the boring follow up with the paperwork.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, exactly.
Tom Griswold
The cop on the phone to all state. Well, I commandeered a Toyota Highlander, but by the way, Nice car.
Josh Arnold
I'd like to start a movie. Maybe I'll write a script where the movie is started with a guy whose car is commandeered and then we just follow him for the rest of the day.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, he has to walk to his job.
Jess Hooker
The paperwork, the insurance company.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Something else.
Jeff Oskay
Trouble for being late. Exactly.
Josh Arnold
He has a job interview and now he loses it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
They rent a car because his credit's bad.
Tom Griswold
They never do the realistic stuff, stuff about the reality of our. Of our culture. For example, when kids play doctor now, they don't. They don't. They don't. They don't take a stethoscope. They just sit there filling out forms. Okay, listen, listen. I'll cop a cheap feel in a second, but first I've got to fill out.
Jess Hooker
I think they still play doctor the way they did.
Tom Griswold
Look, no, don't give me any Popsicle sticks. I got to write this thing for the insurance company. So I just. Again, the word commandeered. You never hear that enough.
Jeff Oskay
Like, is that a law? Like, if a cop comes up and says, give me your car, I have to give it to him.
Tom Griswold
I doubt it.
Josh Arnold
No. I don't know. If you have to. I. I would.
Christy Lee
There's an unspoken trade. If I let you take my car, you're never going to give me a ticket ever, for the rest of my life.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but that's fair.
Josh Arnold
That's. I kind of like that.
Pat Godwin
It happens.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that. That just.
Tom Griswold
I mean, I wonder, is that a real cop? I'll have to ask. I have a cop friend. I'll ask him if that's a real thing or just a movie thing.
Pat Godwin
It's got to be some movie.
Tom Griswold
Movies. Yeah. I just can't imagine.
Josh Arnold
Based on anything real. Maybe a couple.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, not as much as it is in the movies.
Christy Lee
Imagine there's a. A foot chase, and then the criminal gets in a car. And you've got to get in a car, too. Right. So you jump in the car near it.
Tom Griswold
Well, this guy got on a bike, so it's. What was it? Ncis. Schwinn.
Josh Arnold
What. What's going to be the first movie where somebody jumps in a wayo the driverless cab and starts going. And then another person jumps into wh mo and says, wayo. Follow that. Wh o. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That has to have been done. That's a great idea.
Jess Hooker
Oh, well, we'll come back with more from Colorado because we have Al Jackson.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, and Al is in Colorado. I think today, of Course. And we also have ski skiing news.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I've got a little bit of an update on the robot vacuum thing.
Jess Hooker
Oh, cool.
Tom Griswold
This is interesting. I, I looked up the thing you talked about. The.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah, the Tesla robot.
Tom Griswold
The Tesla robot and that. I don't know what the word is. When a robot looks like a human.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Humanoid.
Tom Griswold
You know when it's got the, like a head and arms and it has all of that. Yeah, it, it, it, it. Because like when you think of the Roomba, it looks like a Frisbee. But this thing looks like a human.
Jeff Oskay
No, it's a walking, talking, jumping. Yeah, humanoid.
Tom Griswold
And it's to will clean your house.
Jeff Oskay
And supposedly they, I mean, they're in the basics.
Tom Griswold
Right. The one here is so realistic it has a green card. I mean this is, they are, they are getting it right down to the I see shaking heads, no one has a sense of humor anymore.
Josh Arnold
Card is the way to go.
Tom Griswold
Right. Okay.
Josh Arnold
I'm glad that the robot went through the proper channel.
Pat Godwin
There you go.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I got the, got the thing. Thank you. I was trying to be Americans. Here we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Terrific work. Dane. Dane Clark is our guest and he's got his, his band and their, their new album out there. Is that, what is that you just you're playing there? Dana says one of your records actual.
Jeff Oskay
That was Pat song.
Dane Clark
No, it actually wasn't. It was a song called Waylon and Johnny from Postcards from the Hard Road came out in 2010.
Tom Griswold
That is just so nice. So cool. Perhaps we can adapt that into a jingle. Maybe we could turn the. Turn that into the SILAC news desk. Well, we'll work on that. That's. It's coming up now. I think we're going to try to once again venture into the world of satellite light television here and say thank you to the band and go to Colorado with.
Jess Hooker
We're not quite yet.
Tom Griswold
What about the news? Okay.
Jeff Oskay
Oh, hey, I got something.
Jess Hooker
Oh, did you ever do your David.
Tom Griswold
Rush stupid world record?
Jeff Oskay
Mr. David Rush has reclaimed the Guinness World Record for the most behind the back basketball passes in one minute.
Tom Griswold
Now, now, this is disturbing to me, silly, because I'm a David Rush fan. Why isn't one of the Harlem Globetrotters involved in this?
Jeff Oskay
They have anything better to do?
Christy Lee
Commandeers everything.
Jeff Oskay
Mr. Rush first broke the record with Jonathan Hollywood Hannon with 61 passes in 60 seconds. After their mark was beaten, Mr. Rush teamed up with basketball fan Chris Schultz to take back the title. Together, they beat the previous record of 65 with a total of 70 behind the back passes in 60 seconds.
Josh Arnold
Okay, so you're saying he should have teamed up with a Globetrotter?
Tom Griswold
I would think the Globetrotters would have this record now. I'm a huge Harlem Globetrotters fan, as you know. I'll be seeing them again real soon. I always go see them. Have you ever seen him, Josh?
Josh Arnold
I have, yes.
Tom Griswold
Hilarious.
Josh Arnold
I did enjoy it. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I just.
Jess Hooker
We should all go.
Tom Griswold
I just love it.
Christy Lee
Scouting team, building experience.
Jess Hooker
I'm really busy.
Christy Lee
Let's go.
Tom Griswold
Oh, Christy, it's. It's co ed now.
Jess Hooker
I went to the. The Globetrotters when I was a kid. I did enjoy it, but I'm not a kid anymore.
Tom Griswold
You don't enjoy them. You don't enjoy them giving the referee a hard time, blatantly cheating ladders. Confetti.
Josh Arnold
God. What if you took your son to this? Do you think he'd enjoy it?
Jess Hooker
No, no. On his phone.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's a different world for him, my son.
Pat Godwin
I enjoyed it when I was a kid.
Jeff Oskay
We went a couple years ago, my son and my nieces. I took them and they loved it. They thought it was hilarious.
Tom Griswold
But Mr. Rush now is the backhanded pass. World record.
Jess Hooker
Basketball back.
Josh Arnold
Why doesn't Sweet Georgia Brown get more radio play? I think it's a terrific song.
Tom Griswold
Great melody.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
It is a good song.
Josh Arnold
And does it have lyrics?
Jess Hooker
Happy, it makes you smile.
Josh Arnold
It does have lyrics, yeah. Okay.
Tom Griswold
That's a good. That's a fair question. Yeah, it does. But. Yeah, that's one of those tunes.
Pat Godwin
Back and through the Hoop.
Tom Griswold
It's Georgia Brown.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I love it.
Tom Griswold
That's none other words.
Josh Arnold
Wearing shorts and tall and sweet Georgia Brown.
Pat Godwin
All those guys are dead right now. It's sweet.
Jess Hooker
Is there a behind the scenes on why David Rush and Hollywood Hannam broke up? I'd like to.
Tom Griswold
I think. I think Hollywood. Hollywood. I believe he moved Hollywood to Michigan.
Christy Lee
Oh, I think that's weird.
Jess Hooker
So they didn't really.
Josh Arnold
No, it wasn't.
Tom Griswold
David Rushes in Idaho.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Tom Griswold
I think.
Jess Hooker
All right. Sense that would do it.
Pat Godwin
Leave the house at some point.
Tom Griswold
Perhaps we can get him now. I guess we'll go back. Oh, wait a minute. I know. I go. I wanted to read this story. If we have a second. No, no. Okay. We have our guest. I think we have Alton phone on the phone. Okay. Hey, Al, how are you?
I
Hey. It's like I'm calling because I need you to bail me out.
Jess Hooker
Okay. I got money for you, babe. What do you need?
I
I might need money for? I just got the red apple of death on my laptop. Oh, I think that's really bad.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, I dealt with. I dealt with that.
I
Now I'm in a state of shock.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, these. You get the spinning rainbow thing? Yeah, I got.
I
It went red and then there was just a red apple and then a black apple, which was like some kind of weird. Like you would see it, a rave that you're at, where you're like, I need to leave here.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it was bad. Well, we're glad to. Have you. Have you ever bailed anybody out of jail?
I
I have a good, good friend of mine down in Miami, we split up. We were like. He went to a bar and I went there, we get some cash and by the time I was coming back, he was being let out in handcuffs. And I remember when, you know, he was able to post his own bail. So when they let him out of the facility, I took a yellow cab to go get him.
Tom Griswold
Him.
I
And he walked out of the jail at 5 o'clock in the morning. He goes, that was totally my fault. It was so wonderful to see at least one person just take accountability.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
I
Because everybody's like, all the cops. And they did. It was just like. He's like, yeah, that was. I got a little mouthy and do it the other way.
Josh Arnold
We have to do it the other way.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I've done it. I've had to bail somebody out twice, believe it or not.
Jess Hooker
Can we change the subject?
I
Can you. Yeah, it's. I mean, it's. Look, it. It happens. And I mean, it. It. A lot of times it could have and probably should have been me. So I. I have no judgments for anybody that.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no.
I
Has had to go to jail.
Tom Griswold
I just didn't know the. I didn't know the procedures at the. The beginning. And.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Got to call a guy at the bail bond space.
Tom Griswold
So you don't take American Express.
I
Is the body cam footage of Tom trying to navigate the criminal justice.
Jess Hooker
Wouldn't that be great?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, I was bailing out a friend of mine. It's a long story. I won't bore you with it, but.
Jess Hooker
Wasn'T it during the holidays?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it was. Yeah. It was like Christmas. It made it even weirder, Pat, when you got your famous incident.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
In Charlotte and.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Did you have to post bail?
Pat Godwin
I did. I had to have somebody do it for me. Joel Pace from the Comedy Zone in Charlotte there did it. It was 1500 bucks because I was out of state. State. And it took till by. I think I went in at midnight or so. It took till the next day at 12 noon.
Tom Griswold
Always alive. It was horrible.
I
My thing. What's the food like in there?
Pat Godwin
It was a bologna sandwich and an apple.
Josh Arnold
Not bad.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I did not.
Tom Griswold
All right.
I
You're like Huck Finn.
Tom Griswold
What's the. What's the. What's the kissing like?
Pat Godwin
I was. I was in with two other three other guys. One was asleep, passed out in the floor door, and two others were hanging with me. No, he was out cold. He was out cold when I walked in.
Tom Griswold
Did they. Did they ask you, you know, what are you in for?
Pat Godwin
The two guys did. Yeah, they kind of tried to give me some advice. They had the orange jumpsuits on. I said, when do I get one of those? Because that's next, man.
Tom Griswold
So. And you. You were in as. I. I don't know if you know this story, Al. It wasn't a dui. Pat wasn't even driving the car.
Pat Godwin
Mouthy Pat, passenger.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he's. He's the mouthy sidekick and he gets thrown in jail.
Josh Arnold
I got out of.
I
That's even worse.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
I
Because you're not going to intimidate the guys in the cell with you. You're like, you know, you're breaking. Entering.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
I
I got a good, good one off on the cop about his hat.
Pat Godwin
I called him Barney. So that.
Tom Griswold
That was fun.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And you were in Carolina, so that made it. Yeah, made it even worse. Wow. Now, did you have to. To pay the guy back the bail money. Did you have to. Did you do it? Why? I'll do three more gigs. Or did you actually have to get real?
Pat Godwin
I think it was immediate. Yeah, I mean, it was just. You couldn't do it on your own. You had to go through somebody else to help you.
Josh Arnold
No, I mean, how did you pay him? Tom's asking, how'd you pay him back with. Oh, I think with gigs or money.
Pat Godwin
I think just money. And like.
Tom Griswold
Oh, really? That'd be kind of a funny.
Pat Godwin
I just worked for him.
Tom Griswold
That'd be a funny conversation. Yeah. So, hey, pay my bail.
I
Look really bad on your taxes if they took it out of your pay your accountants. Like, why'd you get paid 14 for this kid? Well, minus the 1500 for my arrest.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I tell you what, it was all very complicated because the two guys that were giving me advice, they said, did not say. They said, where you from, man? I said, well, I'm from, you know, I'm from Pennsylvania. Don't tell them that. Tell them you're from here. But I have a license that says, I tell the guy I'm actually from here. Why is your license from Pennsylvania? I guess it's so much more expensive if you're out of state.
Tom Griswold
Good advice.
Jess Hooker
And.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I just looked at the clock. Al, we got to hurry up here. Give me the word of the day, please.
I
Oh, Tom, I like this one. Tom, what's a dupe?
Tom Griswold
D U P E. Obviously, the traditional use of being duped would be to be fooled. Is a dupe the person that is being.
I
That's not how the youngins are using it here in 2025. Any guesses? Really quick, quickly.
Josh Arnold
I'm gonna guess it comes from something like duplex. So it's two people sharing something.
Christy Lee
No.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
What do you think? Wow. This is an open forum, this hooker. What do you think?
Christy Lee
I think it is a. It's a lesser priced product that is as good as an expensive one. Like, kids and girls usually will get, like, some makeup at a drugstore that is just as good as at Sephora or deposit.
Josh Arnold
So it comes from duplicates kit.
Christy Lee
Yes, it's a dupe. Yeah.
I
What. What Jess just did is the equivalent of when, like a Latino power hitter hits one out of the the stadium and kisses the crucifix around his neck. Right, Exactly. That's exactly what it is. It's a. It's a nice knockoff for something that. That would be more expensive. So. Well done, Jeff.
Jeff Oskay
Nice.
Jess Hooker
Yes.
Josh Arnold
A dupe.
Tom Griswold
The dupe. Dupe.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Very good. Did you know that? Did you know that, Pat?
Pat Godwin
No. I couldn't even figure out.
I
Yeah, it's just like, oh, I went on Amazon. I got a dupe for that.
Jeff Oskay
Yeah, exactly.
Jess Hooker
My kids do this all the time.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they use the word dupe.
Jess Hooker
Yeah. They're in their 20s. They're in that age group.
Christy Lee
Yeah. My little sisters are that age, so that's how I know.
Josh Arnold
Can you refer to a step parent as a dupe?
Christy Lee
Lesser version of my dad.
Josh Arnold
Hey, I saw your dad. Well, he's actually my step. But he's a dupe. He's a loving guy. Real nice.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Pat goddamn in jail. Al Jackson in Colorado. Al, I missed you. I was just out in Colorado for quite a while doing some science.
I
I asked you when we were texting for you to send me pictures. I didn't get any. I honestly thought. I was like, did Tom get in an accident or something? Because I had a friend of mine that was in a bad ski accident, so I was, like, hoping everything's okay. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, it's all good. I'll send. I'll send you a picture. Sorry, I forgot the yearly.
I
The yearly ski pictures. I'm. I'm gonna go one of these.
Tom Griswold
Did you at least get the Omaha steaks I sent you?
I
I did get the Omaha steaks.
Josh Arnold
The.
Tom Griswold
The.
I
They are thawing now. They are going to be made for dinner tonight. Got to marinate them in a little Worcestershire sauce. So I am super excited. Shout out Oman hall steaks. And thank you, Tom, for the gifts. My family appreciate it.
Tom Griswold
Well, you're very, very welcome. I will look forward to talking to you next week. By the way, Al, any gigs coming up, we need to talk about something.
I
Almost even bigger than a gig. My special is ready to go and will be available today, and that will be on social media. So please, Bob and Tom family look out for that. And I know it sounds crazy, but my shoe line, Nico and Jolie, is also ready. And I'm going to do a soft opening today just for my Bob and Tom people, because I want to get, you know, get everything together and give everybody a first crack at it. So just. It'll be on social media as well. I'll reach out to Jess so she can handle that.
Tom Griswold
You have a line of shoes?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, we're just starting it.
I
Yes.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Tom Griswold
Well, this is interesting. Yeah. Yeah. I can give you one of your gigs. I don't know if you know about this, Al, but I hope you do. We're gonna be doing a Special edition of this show and a special live show from the Riverside Casino and Resort. This is going to be really cool. Coming up. And coming up in Iowa.
I
You had to book me. Black hair, three months.
Christy Lee
It was a legality.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, of course.
Josh Arnold
Sorry. Ellie Breen.
Tom Griswold
March is sexy month. Is it going to be Willie G, Patty G. Josh, Al Jacks, Jeff Oskay, yours truly. We're gonna have a great broadcast that morning from the Riverside Casino and Resort Event center.

Tom Griswold
Oh, that's right. You're gonna be our lot. You're gonna be our live DJ that month. That'll be very, very cool. Thanks. And we are coming right back. We're going to get some more music out of our. Our special house band today. Dane Clark from the Back room Boys. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Josh Arnold
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the iu. Actually, we're not. Yesterday we were in the I Riley Auto Parts video. But we went. You know what we should do? We should go ahead and go with an existing company and go to the O'Reilly Auto.
Jess Hooker
I thought you were gonna say we're gonna do a new vowel every day.
Josh Arnold
We could do this sometimes. Y. Riley.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you could do. You could do.
Josh Arnold
You Riley.
Tom Griswold
I Riley. They Riley.
Josh Arnold
Once again, life of Riley, the o'reilly Auto Parts studio. And here's Tom.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. Going around the room, we have Jeff Oskar sitting in for Chick Magic. Here's a little under the weather.
Jeff Oskay
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
We have Christy Lee, of course, at the Silac Insurance news desk, the experts and annuities. Silac Insurance. Steven Singer Jewelers, sponsor of the Bob and Tom Pickham competition. And we'll have our winner tomorrow for week 18 joining us. And I'm not sure who's gonna. Chick may have to send in his picks.
Christy Lee
I think he is. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay. We'll look forward to that tomorrow. And that's the Stephen Singer, Joe Jeweler's sidekick chair.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Currently featuring Josh Arnold.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
As opposed to presently featuring Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Right. I'm here now.
Tom Griswold
Which would mean he'd be here later if he were to be asked back.
Josh Arnold
Well, we'll find out, won't we?
Tom Griswold
Oh, no. Yes.
Josh Arnold
If Chick sends in his. His pics, can I read him doing my Chicken McGee impression. I think we have to.
Tom Griswold
Nothing would make me happier. Now, this great music is coming to us from a live band. Real players, real instruments. My favorite thing, it's Dane Clark in the back room boys. Featuring Abigail Clark on the. On vocals as well. And Dane, I'm gonna. Sorry to interrupt the band here, but I'd like you to do something special for me because I have a nice, nice request here. Yeah, Brian took the time and trouble to write. Have you guys done the Ace Cosby John joke of the day? The answer is no. I was hoping you could get your house band, Dane Clark in the back room boys, to do a new jingle for the Ace Cosby joke of the day.
Dane Clark
Well, let's try. Let's try this out. Well, who's that man with the real deep voice?
Abigail Clark
With a real deep voice now?
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Pat Godwin
Wow, wow.
Tom Griswold
This better be a good one. I'm not sure you can follow that.
Josh Arnold
Well, all morning we've been talking about what countries, different surveys and things. What nation sleeps the most?
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Jeff Oskay
Ace hibernation.
Tom Griswold
Hibernation. Okay.
Dane Clark
I said that was Ace's joke.
Tom Griswold
Of the day.
Abigail Clark
All right?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, but Ace's joke of the day is sponsored by sleep number. Choose your ideal comfort on either side with a sleep number bed.
Tom Griswold
It's the hibernation celebration at sleep number. Sorry.
Jess Hooker
Now you'll find the lowest price of the season their top selling i8 smart bed bed. It's your best savings plus special financing. A limited time, though. See a sleep number store or check out sleep number dot com.
Tom Griswold
Okay, thank you very much. In a few minutes, we're gonna get a song out of the band, but first we gotta check on a couple of things here. Yeah. Oh, I. I wanted to update Mr. Osu on this. Yes, you had the story about your friend who had to knock on a neighbor's door, apparently with a.
Jeff Oskay
Well, he's both of our friends.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah, I was. I don't put me. I found this story. Firefighters rescued a man who had a metal ring stuck around his male member. The man reportedly put the metal ring on his member to, quote, increase stamina during intimate activities. He said he got the idea from social media videos. He developed a painful swelling eventually, as the case with your friend went to a hospital. In this case, where doctors could not remove it, they contacted the local fire department. Firefighters spent 20 minutes sawing off the metal ring with an angle grinder.
Jess Hooker
Doesn't that get hot? Don't sparks fly off?
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Jeff Oskay
You're gonna smell some burning pubes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, and it Indicated that this is why. This is apparently why it took 20 minutes, because they. They had to cool it down as they were doing it. 20 minutes with an angle grinder. The man's aforementioned male member was freed with, quote, no lasting injuries from the ordeal. Now, but they mean, of course, they're. They're excluding psychological injuries.
Christy Lee
So when you guys use one of those, you put it on when it's not angry, and then it gets it angry.
Tom Griswold
I'm not familiar with. I have never.
Josh Arnold
I don't know. Yeah, I'm not done.
Jeff Oskay
That's what it is.
Christy Lee
That's what it is.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
And I didn't know it was to keep it angry. I thought it was to close off.
Jeff Oskay
It's both.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Christy Lee
Oh, so it withholds completion, right?
Josh Arnold
That's what I thought.
Jeff Oskay
It makes it veinier and it stays there longer.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Jeff Oskay
All right.
Christy Lee
Hey, Pat, do you have a song?
Pat Godwin
You want to hear about it? Here we go. Love, Love is an elusive thing so I got me a new C ring. Swollen with turgid desire now it's stuck like it's in barbed wire Call the local firefighters they tried to free my willy but the ring got tighter and it hurts, hurts, hurts Pains of nine are higher Got the ring of fire that was well worth it.
Tom Griswold
That was good. Thank you very much.
Josh Arnold
The insistent intro. I think we were just talking down.
Tom Griswold
That's nice.
Josh Arnold
So.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not familiar with these things, and I don't know how they.
Jess Hooker
I mean, I'm not either.
Tom Griswold
Even in the. In the best of circumstances. How do they get undone?
Christy Lee
Well, then. Then you. You go. And then it's over. Right. And you can take it off.
Jess Hooker
I would assume.
Jeff Oskay
It delays the going.
Jess Hooker
And once you go, it slows.
Tom Griswold
You look at a. Look at an episode of the View to make it go down. Think about your grandmother naked. I don't know. I'm just. Various. Did you have any. Do you have any. Go to anti erection protocols.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no, I. No, I don't. I. I haven't needed them, really.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Remember since high school?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I mean, even in high school, there. There was no. I mean, they just had.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
You could think. I could have thought about.
Christy Lee
You can't think your way out of that.
Josh Arnold
My grandparents having sex. And it wouldn't have gone down. Yeah. Yeah. It didn't matter.
Tom Griswold
I see. I see. Well, on that awkward note, we'll switch.
Josh Arnold
Gears that you created.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I just thought it was interesting because Jeff had that friend who I may or may not know.
Josh Arnold
It was Duke Tomato.
Tom Griswold
It was not Duke. Although the guy looks like he kind of. He does look like. Like Duke. Oh, he does got that going. So you were kind of close.
Josh Arnold
I don't. I've never met that person.
Jess Hooker
Oh, really?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, he's a great, great guy. I'm sorry. Christy Lee is over there at the Silic Insurance News. Christy, what's happening?
Jess Hooker
13 inmates are on the loose in Zambia after an inebriated police officer opened their cells and told him, you're free to go.
Josh Arnold
I love it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Jess Hooker
According to Zambia Police Service Detective Inspector Titus Fury, at the police station there, there was a state of intoxication because it was a celebration. This happened on New Year's Eve and forcibly. Apparently, someone seized the cell keys from a female constable. The guy unlocked both male and female cells and instructed the suspects to leave, stating they were free to cross over into the new year.
Tom Griswold
What's the guy? What's the name of the cop? The little man?
Jess Hooker
Titus Fury.
Josh Arnold
That's a great name.
Tom Griswold
You know, that's bad. That's Barney Fife in Zambian. Just said happy New Year. Go ahead.
Jess Hooker
Yeah, he said. Out of the 15 suspects in custody, 13 escaped and remain at large. By the way, Detective Inspector Fury fled the scene as well, but he was later found and arrested. The public has been asked to assist the police in locating the rest of the fugitive inmates.
Tom Griswold
I hope this was a, you know, a prison for the lighter type of crimes.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, no kidding. Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Dude, I'm such a dork. If I was in jail there and that guy did that, I would think it was a trap.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Jeff Oskay
Like, I'd be like, I'm not going anywhere. You ain't catching me on that. I just sit back down.
Jess Hooker
I'm with you. I'm.
Tom Griswold
Hear the machine guns going.
Jeff Oskay
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
I'm not kind of comfortable in here.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Jess Hooker
Falling for that trick a little closer to home. In Colorado, authorities are searching for a man who allegedly tried to rob a bank in Love, Cleveland. According to the police department there, the suspect entered a First national bank, handed the teller a note. Traditional bank robberies fair. CBS Colorado reports. The man's handwriting, however, was so illegible, the teller was unable to read it. As she struggled to read the note, the man apparently became frustrated and left the bank.
Tom Griswold
Is this word gun? Is this word? Is this gun or fun? I can't.
Josh Arnold
That's great that you have some gum, sir.
Jess Hooker
Police have shared images of him and are asking the public's help there, too, in identifying the guy.
Tom Griswold
You're going to do a Shot or less. What I don't understand. I.
Jeff Oskay
How long till a bank robber just hands them the. Their phone as just like an emoji of a cash bag and a gun, you know?
Jess Hooker
I wonder if that's happened.
Josh Arnold
I bet Rob bank is just so exciting.
Jess Hooker
Are you serious?
Josh Arnold
Yes. It's got to be the thrill of a lifetime. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
And don't they say if you do it once, you're probably getting away with. With it? It's the people who go back and.
Tom Griswold
Do it more and more.
Josh Arnold
That so?
Jess Hooker
Yeah, but if it's a threw.
Josh Arnold
If you rob a bank, let me know how it is. As a matter of fact, I may go along.
Pat Godwin
I think it's 20 years minimum.
Jess Hooker
Would you wear a mask?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jess Hooker
Would you wear. Would you carry a gun?
Josh Arnold
You know what I'd wear one of those stocking.
Jess Hooker
Oh, yeah. Little pantyhose.
Jeff Oskay
Smushes your nose.
Tom Griswold
Right?
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
No. What color caskets do you want?
Josh Arnold
No, no, no. Odds are you'll get away with it.
Jess Hooker
I can't believe.
Pat Godwin
I don't.
Josh Arnold
I don't know if that's true.
Tom Griswold
So this guy's problem, probably. This is why I don't believe in teaching cursive. Because if the guy. If the guy neatly printed this thing, he would have had a nice, successful robbery.
Pat Godwin
It's a scene from a Woody Allen movie, right?
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Which one is it?
Josh Arnold
Take the money and run.
Pat Godwin
Yeah. He says gut, sir, Says Guy Dub. It's gub.
Josh Arnold
And then they start arguing over the.
Tom Griswold
Okay, Right. Now we're gonna switch gears. I think we've got the band still on the satellite hook up there in the next build. There we go. We're gonna get another song out of Dane and the boys. And Dane. Once again, we have put links to the various aspects of this, including the video, the COVID etc. Etc. What song is this?
Dane Clark
I need a guru.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Dane Clark
Kick it, Phil.
Abigail Clark
I've been a seeker Long as I can recall Trying to I interpret the writing on the wall.
Tom Griswold
And under the.
Abigail Clark
Spell of a whispered rune Deciphered hieroglyphics in an Egyptian tomb I need a goo to open my eyes Give me some truth In a world full of lies A flash in the darkness Cracking open the skies I ain't asking for fun Just the answer to everything.

Jess Hooker
That was good.
Dane Clark
That was pretty good.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. That was pretty good. Thanks very much. Thank you so much. Right now it's time to switch gears a little bit here and learn a little something about the universe that we live in and the history, the background. What do they say? If you don't know history, you're bound to get a D in it.
Josh Arnold
You don't know history.
Tom Griswold
Let's see.
Jess Hooker
I don't know much.
Tom Griswold
Let's see. Here's an easy one for you. I'll do it Quiz form for you, Christy. Okay. On this date in 1913, he was born. He's old. He is deceased.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Pretty much he. Otherwise he'd be what, 112.
Jess Hooker
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Was it 112? Right.
Christy Lee
What did you say? Sorry, I didn't.
Tom Griswold
1913.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Tom Griswold
He'd be quite elderly. He was a president of the United States.
Jess Hooker
Okay.
Tom Griswold
One and a half times. Any guesses?
Jess Hooker
One and a half times.
Josh Arnold
Richard Nixon.
Tom Griswold
That's right. Tricky Dick.
Jess Hooker
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Of course, he was asked to leave the grandfather of Cynthia Nixon from no.
Pat Godwin
Sex in the City.
Tom Griswold
Sex in the City. Yeah, of course.
Josh Arnold
Well, she found her way into politics too, didn't she?
Jess Hooker
Yes, she did.
Tom Griswold
I just like that thing where she goes, I am not a crook. I'm also not heterosexual. Homosexual. Yeah, yeah. I am not into guys, in spite of the show. Yeah, that was. That was not exactly a shocker. Let's see, 1934. Couldn't have fooled me. Okay. Oh, let's see what else you got. This is. This is an easier one. Okay, we'll do this to. Let's see. Ms. Hooker. How about this one for you? Born in 1930. 34. On this stage. One of the great names. Not only as a great player, but just the perfect name for a great athlete. He was famous. NFL quarterback and coach. I'll give you a hint.
Christy Lee
Dick Butkus.
Josh Arnold
That is a great name.
Tom Griswold
That is a great name. But this one is. This one is more Johnny Unitis. That's also a very good name.
Jess Hooker
It was a coach.
Christy Lee
Peyton Manning. Jesus Christ.
Tom Griswold
No, it's not Jesus Christ. Although I understand Jesus had a. Had a better year than pretty much all the quarterbacks. First name? Bart.
Jess Hooker
Oh, Bart Starr.
Tom Griswold
Bart Starr.
Christy Lee
I did not. I. I'm not familiar with Bart.
Jess Hooker
Oh, gosh. Green Bay Packers.
Tom Griswold
You know, Ringo's dad. Okay. Jeez. Okay, now this one you should know from Yesterday. Born in 1935. Famous for his facial hair on television. When television was in black and white, not a lot of people had facial hair. This guy did. He was the star of two huge television shows in his career.
Christy Lee
And I should know him from yesterday.
