Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile.

Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.
Josh Arnold

Chick McGee
If we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.
Tom Griswold

Josh Arnold
The church burned down and no one knew what Pentecost Baptist was going to do. The Sunday brimstone got so dad gum hot it burnt up a church bus in the parking lot. In a panic the Reverend Dr. White called up an ex member that hadn't lived right. He owned Joe's Beer joint right across the fence. It's the same Joe's he preached against. He said I don't really want to be a hypocrite. I got a Sunday school class about to have fits. We're all excited about revival week and been moved by the spirit so to speak. With all the souls we saved and money we spent we thought God told us to sell that tent. I got a famous evangelist supposed to come and done run out of chairs. Will you loan us some? Joe says hell you can just use the whole dang place Ain't I on a jukebox? Amazing grace I ain't supposed to be open cause of them blue laws but we'll open tonight if it's all right with y'.
Chick McGee
All.
Josh Arnold
Preacher said well I reckon I'd be okay. The good Lord works in mysterious ways Is gonna talk about Joshua, Judges and Ruth and I reckon I could do it from the DJ booth at the First Baptist Bar and GR it's the only church in the Bible Belt that smells like a whiskey still when the sinners finish one More round. We'll have dinner on the ground and go inside and hell, pray we don't get killed. The evangelists came with a well dressed choir. They showed up around happy hour, looked around the joint and didn't take it real well. Said the white ministry has gone to hell. Ms. Mills, that taught you Sunday school. And two deacons in the back room shooting pool were sharing the Lord with a Jim Beam rep who was teaching Ms. Mills some line dance stuff. Rick was reading from the book a loop to a tall drunk trucker about to puke. He had John 3:16 memorized, trying to dry his ass out to get him baptized. The evangelist yelled about the lights and the beer, said, white, you can't save any souls in here. This place ain't nothing but a din of sin. Ain't the kind of place Baptists ought to be in. Preacher said, well, we don't really need y' all here. You didn't do a very good job last year. Only save one sinner as Todd McGuire's a little sob that set my church on fire. Joe's beer joint has done been revived. Been here an hour and I done saved five. Sure it's got mirrors and a big dance floor, but I finally found the flock God called me for there at the First Baptist Bar and Grill. It's the only church in the Bible Belt that smells like a whiskey still. Not a stained glass window anywhere in sight. Just a blood stained floor and neon lights and a communion wine. And here is always chill. We're here every Sunday. We're living large. The only church with a cover charge. And if you don't like our doctrine and think we ain't devout, we'll have our bouncer throw your butt out of the First Baptist Bar and Grill. Hey.

There was someone who used to work here that called everyone bud.

Okay.

Christy Lee
Oh, I remember it.
Chick McGee
8:30 in the morning. Hey, what's going. You got lunch?
Tom Griswold
If you. The occasional time. I did have lunch with him, mostly he was trying to plot dinner, but.
Chick McGee
He seemed to be. He wasn't overly. Not that much overweight. He was chunk. Chubby, but not.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but very ugly, too. That was the.
Chick McGee
Oh, hideous.
Tom Griswold
Man. Oh, man, that guy was.
Chick McGee
It was hard to eat lunch. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That's why no one wanted to go.
Josh Arnold
You can't eat them. You can't eat yourself, handsome.
Chick McGee
No, you sure can't.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that would have been. Yeah, I guess. How do I reverse this? He was a beauty. Famine, if you will. Probably not appropriate, but I hadn't thought about him in a long time.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
He ended up being a. One of those helicopter traffic guys.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, in the copter. Is he still with us?
Josh Arnold
Is he still with us?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm talking about. Oh, I'm talking about ae.
Chick McGee
No, that guy. That's not who I'm talking about. The guy I'm talking about. I don't see him on the air. He could not put a sentence together very well. Okay, okay.
Tom Griswold
So the point is, we've worked a lot, A lot of grossly incompetent people over the years.
Chick McGee
Not like us. And by the way, the point also is. Tom's back, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, man, we missed you. You know what? I was. I wanted to be the first to say it, and I'm absolutely serious. I missed you.
Tom Griswold
Oh, thanks.
Chick McGee
I really did.
Tom Griswold
Well, right now I'm sterilizing my area because I found out that the guy who was sitting here all last week has Covid.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So I don't know much about illness or disease, but I guess I. Is that is it.
Christy Lee
Remember, it doesn't spread through touch. It was through the air. You're fine.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Chick McGee
The air that he was breathing is gone. He wasn't here Friday. Did you kiss him?
Christy Lee
He wasn't here Friday.
Tom Griswold
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
And I thought for sure I'd get it because I kissed him every morning.
Josh Arnold
I don't know how you didn't.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I kissed him, too. Josh walked in on one of you.
Tom Griswold
On the lips or the nipples?
Chick McGee
Right on the mouth.
Josh Arnold
You start with.
Christy Lee
You're not gonna get it through the nipples.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. He's so hairy. You'd probably have trouble. You'd have to do a lot of tonga. I almost got it that time. Jeff.
Josh Arnold
And I are focused on each other's eyes.
Tom Griswold
Don't ever.
Chick McGee
I saw it. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Don't ever do that again.
Chick McGee
Well, let's see. Time of death, four minutes in.
Tom Griswold
I know in the course of your life, I'm sure you've had to. You tongue your way through a vast jungle of hair.
Chick McGee
Absolutely. I. I will admit it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Are you saying you're not going to admit it? It was the late 70s.
Josh Arnold
We've all done some bushwhacking.
Chick McGee
Absolutely. That's why I enjoy nice hardwood so much. Like Christmas. Yes. There's a big difference.
Tom Griswold
There's a couple things you don't want to. The shaving and yoga.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Please stay.
Christy Lee

Tom Griswold
Well, we have an interesting news story.
Chick McGee
We all have them. Christy has hers in her purse.
Tom Griswold
But still, I have a couple, actually.
Chick McGee
Couple nails into the wall.
Josh Arnold
Like.
Tom Griswold
That's what you like about Christy. She. She's not greedy. She didn't keep all four of them.
Chick McGee
That's true.
Christy Lee
Three. I still have. You know, I'm still married.
Chick McGee
They're still.
Tom Griswold
I've been gone for a week, so I. You know, I didn't want to say anything.
Chick McGee
Yeah. It's all good, though, right?
Tom Griswold
That would have been. That would have been really awkward. And by the way, Oscar's sick and Christie's single again.
Christy Lee
Oh, geez. No. Well, what are you saying?
Chick McGee
Well, I know.
Tom Griswold
Welcome to our new show, the Pot Calling the Kettle One.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I'm your host, Black.
Chick McGee
How about that guy?
Christy Lee
How about that?
Chick McGee
Oh, well.
Christy Lee
How was your vacation?
Chick McGee
Oh, while you were gone, Jerry Jones had a news conference, and he was telling people why he's not going to pay all these Dallas Cowboys all this money, because, you know, you never know what's going to happen. Tom and Jerry, during a news conference.
Tom Griswold
Said, you can get hit by a car. Sisley.
Chick McGee
What you sign somebody to a big money contract and he goes outside and.
Tom Griswold
Get hit by a car.
Chick McGee
You get hit by a car, Sicily. Seriously.
Tom Griswold
Don't they. Don't they? I assume they get life insurance on all these guys.
Chick McGee
I thought for sure that you would hear his dentures slipping.
Tom Griswold
Play it again. And get hit by a car, Sicily.
Chick McGee
Right at the start. I'm sorry, I talked over it. Here we go.
Tom Griswold
You get hit by a car, Sicily. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of sloshing in there.
Chick McGee
And as Josh pointed out, if you listen closely as he's saying, you don't want to get hit by a car. There's a siren.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, I hear that.
Christy Lee
I got hit by a car.
Tom Griswold
Wow. Well, I started to miss that, certainly. But to answer your question, great vacation.
Josh Arnold
Good.
Tom Griswold
I'll tell you some of the highlights down the road.
Chick McGee
I saw you of a picture of you at a petting zoo.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I did see that, too.
Chick McGee
Really? You and a goat.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
Drawing the comparison between you being a goat and a goat being a goat.
Christy Lee
Oh, I think Willie, put that up.
Chick McGee
Willie, put that up.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I went to what was the Four Eagle Ranch.
Chick McGee
Did you see four eagles?
Tom Griswold
No, but there were goats and horses. Took a. Took a horse.
Christy Lee
But did you ride a horse?
Tom Griswold
No, it was one of those wagons. You get pulled. Yeah, it was great.
Chick McGee
Ho, ho, ho. Slow down.
Tom Griswold
Sorry. I. Josh.
Chick McGee
He didn't go to one of them camps with wagon. You pushed the wagon.
Christy Lee
A horse drawn wagon.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Was great.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Chick McGee
Did you drive the wagon?
Tom Griswold
No. No, no, no.
Chick McGee
Did you do that?
Josh Arnold
More of a handsome cab.
Tom Griswold
No, it was just a. It was like two benches on a. In the back of a.
Chick McGee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
It was great fun. And the food was unbelievably great.
Chick McGee
Like real ingredients and things.
Tom Griswold
I. I just, you know, ribs and sweet corn. God, it was just beautiful.
Christy Lee
Well, good.
Tom Griswold
And the weather was great.
Chick McGee
And you ate.
Tom Griswold
But I will say this. When I got on the plane, after being in this great weather for, you know, 70 degrees, 75 degrees, the plane takes off and the pilot comes on board. And this is one of those pilots that really liked to talk, which is fine with me. And he said, by the way, when you land. Because they all sound like Chuck Yeager.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know, even if they're.
Chick McGee
At least you can't speak. We'd like to thank you for flying this plane, this crew based out of Boston. We'd like to tell you in.
Tom Griswold
In the book, the Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe talks about the fact that all pilots, at least in that era Sounded like they were Southern because they all wanted to be Chuck Yeager in it. Even he goes. Now, when we land, you're going to think we've flown to Orlando because it's so hot. It was quite a shock. Yeah. If you're in beautiful weather for, you know, cool summer humidity really get you. And those jetways, I believe. As you step off the plane into the jetway, do they microwave you right away? Is that why you get so hot?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, there's an irradiation you want to happen.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I was just wondering. It was very, very hot.
Chick McGee
Weren't you hiking in like 48 degree weather?
Tom Griswold
Only in the early morning.
Josh Arnold
Sounds delightful.
Tom Griswold
It was great.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it was wonderful. I did about 15 to 20,000 steps every day.
Josh Arnold
Nice.
Tom Griswold
You ever get into that thing where you're comparing steps? God, not yet.
Christy Lee
Not yet.
Tom Griswold
Well, Patty, you might want to do a pre heart attack. Just a little caution for you.
Chick McGee
I've compared Netflix viewings. I really compared steps. How did you, like, fill in the blank? Yes, I did. Enjoy.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you answer that.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, sure.
Tom Griswold
Didn't watch a minute of tv, so I have no idea what's going on in the world.
Chick McGee
Thumb down. Well, that'll be handy.
Tom Griswold
Right, now let's catch up with something I did do every day, constantly. And that was, of course, drink coffee and tea. And if your coffee tastes like disappointment, it's time for a serious upgrade. Java House is here to rescue your break room at the office. Java House. You just peel and pour. You don't need some. What is it? A Rube Goldberg device to take your coffee and brew it, and then it's full of germs. And the last guy that was in there had Covid. No, no, not with Java House. You get your little cup like this. You peel and pour. It's that quick. And you add whatever kind of water you want or.
Christy Lee
Big news while you were gone.
Tom Griswold
What's that?
Christy Lee
We have a new electrolyte drink, hydration drink.
Tom Griswold
It's right here. Orange one I've got right here. I'm about to drink.
Chick McGee
What is orange explosion?
Tom Griswold
Liquid science.
Chick McGee
Liquid science.
Christy Lee
So good.
Tom Griswold
I'm gonna have one as soon as.
Chick McGee
We take a short break, but you could theoretically. Just do it now while you're talking. Peel and pour.
Christy Lee
You didn't have any water.
Tom Griswold
I don't have water. Easy.
Chick McGee
Well, you gotta have water. They can't do everything for you.
Tom Griswold
This is like.
Chick McGee
Like Willie's.
Tom Griswold
Like Willie's concept of the. Of the waterbed store where they fill it for you on site. That's right. That idea did not take off.
Chick McGee
You buy here, you pay here, you fill here. I don't think he cared for the teasing either.
Tom Griswold
I think it was a great idea. Anyways, you pick your favorite, your coffee, your tea from Java House. Like I said, no clunky, dirty machine. Other people have been handling it. You work around here. I keep a gigantic gallon of hand sanitizer because God knows where you guys have been right now. Java House is giving you a chance to win Java House coffee for your office for an entire year.

Tom Griswold
Great. Thank you very much.
Chick McGee
You're welcome.
Tom Griswold
Got some sleep good.
Christy Lee
What? One day all week? What are you talking.
Chick McGee
Just last night.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
No, I got a lot of sleep Saturday.
Christy Lee
Slept into what, six, ten.
Tom Griswold
Ten hours, which for me, double my normal.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, well done.
Christy Lee
Good job, buddy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, there were a couple of pee breaks. You know, the pesky nighttime. Two messages.
Chick McGee
Well, we're all. Yeah, we're all men here. Our prostates are as big as basketballs. We know that. That's fine.
Christy Lee
My hobby doesn't do that. Doesn't get up in the middle of the night.
Chick McGee
Oh. You know why I don't get up.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he doesn't want to wake you.
Chick McGee
First of all, I'm terrified. It'll. It'll start again. You know what I mean?
Tom Griswold
The sound.
Chick McGee
Comes from right about here, right above her neck. Stuff happening. Why don't you go do this? Why don't you go do that?
Tom Griswold
How can he get through the night without peeing?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
That is shocking.
Christy Lee
I know.
Tom Griswold
I think I've done that since I was, like, 13.
Chick McGee
I was gonna say. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah. I'm shocked that he does that, too.
Chick McGee
Do you.
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Josh Arnold
Have you had your prostate checked?
Christy Lee
Not lately.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I'll do it. I have the short straw.
Chick McGee
Why hasn't anyone done that as, like, hidden camera type thing? I'm here for my prostrate, or vice versa.
Tom Griswold
Have a doctor being shot.
Chick McGee
Yeah. There you go.
Tom Griswold
Can I. Can I check your prostate?
Chick McGee
I need to.
Christy Lee
You know what? I bet if you did a poll on the street, a lot of women probably think they have a prostate. They don't know.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sure.
Chick McGee
You think men think they have a uterus. Would that be comparable.
Tom Griswold
No, I think you're right, Christy. I do think you're right.
Josh Arnold
Mine was checked, I don't know, two years ago. It's all good for you. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Was this the. Was this the digital. Digital probe?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Isn't it weird how the word digital has a couple different meanings?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Was it done by a doctor? No.
Tom Griswold
Somebody. They shoved a computer up his ass. Maybe a friend I didn't know well.
Josh Arnold
But that doesn't keep me from peeing nightly. Thankfully. I. I guess it was about 20 years ago I started actually getting out of bed to do it.
Tom Griswold
You've mentioned that before.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Sorry.
Chick McGee
What's the old joke about the old guy? In the nursing home every morning.
Josh Arnold
I. Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Have my Morning Constitutional at 7am what's the problem?
Josh Arnold
That all sounds great.
Chick McGee
Well, I don't get up till 8.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's kind of in the news, actually.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Crapping the bed, no peeing.
Tom Griswold
You'll see. Now, we do have some letters.
Chick McGee
Yes, yes, we do. And this has. We have really caught on while you were going. That's right, last night.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's gonna stop.
Chick McGee
Lister emails. We got a bunch. Email.
Tom Griswold
Okay, okay.
Chick McGee
That was the last time, obviously. And you'll explain me how the radio works and the various federal guidelines.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I was not here for the. You guys interviewed Blake Clark?
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
I'm a huge fan of his.
Chick McGee
He's in the new.
Christy Lee
Happy Gilmore, too.
Chick McGee
Happy Gilmore?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. He's a really nice guy. And I. I have not seen Happy Gilmore 2 yet.
Josh Arnold
He's kind of a beach bum. Literally.
Chick McGee
Yeah, it's. It's okay. It's everything he's been. It's fun. It's fun spotting the cameos, but got.
Tom Griswold
A nice letter here from Master Sergeant Scott Barnes, Retired, he said. First time emailer, longtime listener. I was excited to hear your interview with Blake Clark. When I was deployed with the US army in Djibouti, Africa, Blake came on a USO tour with Robin Williams and John Elway.
Chick McGee
Whoa.
Tom Griswold
Both Blake and Robin were incredibly funny and took as much time individually with the troops as possible. It was amazing.
Chick McGee
Hey, Josh Elway. Bob.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Stand up is awful.
Tom Griswold
Well, well. The letter continues. John Elway was a total D bag.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no.
Tom Griswold
Left as soon as his time on stage was done and hid in the airplane.
Chick McGee
I have heard that from Weird since he beat Ohio State. He played for Stanford long. He was just a jerk.
Josh Arnold
Ah, you hate to hear it.
Tom Griswold
Just.
Chick McGee
Andy can't drive. Drive a golf cart.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Don't let him drive you in a golf cart.
Chick McGee
Oh, hey, hey, hey. All right.
Tom Griswold
Did they do a breath check? The breath of life. Blake Clark was so gracious. Took time to take a picture and visit with me for 15 minutes. Super great guy. Great to see he's still acting.
Chick McGee
Okay, well, now, wait a minute. You're out here. Can you spend 15 minutes with one guy that seems a little bit unreasonable.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's.
Chick McGee
You're there to see everyone, not this jackass who wrote us an email. Yeah, I'll say it. He monopolized poor Blake Clark's time. Trying to be nice.
Tom Griswold
God, I apologize.
Chick McGee
Let me tell you what we have for lunch. No, don't.
Tom Griswold
This is Chick doing his John Elway impression. I believe your phrase was total D bag.
Chick McGee
Be nice. That's great. I and I talked to him for an hour and a half. Oh. He acted like he was getting a little ill, though. I don't know what was going on.
Tom Griswold
Blake was also a veteran, of course. A Vietnam.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Do you have any letters over there?
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show last week. Pat's son. You remember this Pat?
Tom Griswold
Let's hear it.
Chick McGee
He was telling you how you look like the guy from the first Jurassic park film.
Tom Griswold
True.
Chick McGee
When you put your hat on. Fishing cap.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
97 year old Richard Attenborough.
Tom Griswold
Oh, dear.
Josh Arnold
That's a good look.
Chick McGee
You got an O deer out of top. And my son goes, look at the mirror. And I did actually.
Tom Griswold
I looked like, you know, you, you do kind of have a slight Jeffrey Epstein thing going.
Chick McGee
I know a couple people said that recently.
Josh Arnold
What are they referring to my white.
Chick McGee
Hair and my perviness.
Josh Arnold
I don't see any. I'd have to.
Tom Griswold
I have a question.
Josh Arnold
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
Does he have bad teeth?
Christy Lee
Epstein.
Tom Griswold
You'll never see a picture of him smiling. He's always got every shot his mouth.
Josh Arnold
Well, why would he be smiling?
Chick McGee
He's just a badass.
Tom Griswold
Just asking. That's a reasonable question. I guess we could probably.
Chick McGee
You know, I don't smile all that much in pictures. I've started to notice that. That you don't. I don't think I've ever.
Josh Arnold
I don't think.
Chick McGee
I know I have. I don't have a picture of you and me smiling, but that.
Tom Griswold
But I got a great set of choppers. Look at these babies.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, the smile's a little weird though.
Chick McGee
Kind of hideous smile, but. All right, I understand that you think.
Tom Griswold
He'S a little forced. Jeffrey Epstein. Well, I guess he doesn't have nothing to smile about now. Wherever they've got him hidden.
Chick McGee
Oh, boy. Anyway, I don't think you look like Richard Attenborough. Brian continues. Pat, this is meant as a compliment. Look up a. Pick a picture of actor Stacy Keach from 10 to 15 years ago.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The guy with the.
Josh Arnold
I would say you don't have the cleft palate.
Tom Griswold
A slightly. Stacy.
Chick McGee
Yeah, he's had. He had a repair.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he did, yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
I prefer Stacy Keach with a big bushy mustache.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Slightly wider faced. Sean Connery when he's the captain of Wait.
Josh Arnold
I have the slightly whiter face.
Chick McGee
It's a gray beard. I'm tired of people say looks like Sean. Sean Connery. No, I don't I don't look like me. Okay, stop.
Tom Griswold
We can do a comparison of you and Sean Connery when he's the captain of that hunt for Red.
Josh Arnold
Red October.
Chick McGee
Red Hunt for Red Fox.
Tom Griswold
Well, hello. If you're just joining us, we. We are in the. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. And this is the Bob and Tom Show. And let's see now.
Josh Arnold
Hey, numbskill, Skull says Dale and I. This is one of my numb skulls is spelled incorrect.
Chick McGee
Love it.
Tom Griswold
With ironic intent or just. No, no, save.
Josh Arnold
I love that too. When you're insulting someone and you get it wrong.
Chick McGee
But hey, lunatic. L O O n. I like this guy.
Josh Arnold
He's a truck driver. He has a lot of info here regarding driving trucks because we were talking about grades in mountains and runaway trucks way.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we got into that.
Josh Arnold
But the one he wants to. Oh, I see. This is for Jessica. I thought this was for me. Apparently Jessica on the air said she was going to unthaw something. And he says the act of thawing is to let something thaw. To unthaw would be to freeze it.
Tom Griswold
And he's correct. That is true. Yeah. I was driving on Interstate 70 in Colorado. And when you're in the mountains, every once in a while they have these big signs for trucks whose brakes are failing.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
You would go off to the right and then you would go up a hill.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That has a bunch of sand in it. And what my question would be, how do they get them out?
Josh Arnold
Oh, it's expensive and they have to really pull them out.
Chick McGee
And.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Josh was talking about that because he drove a truck for Rawlings in New York City. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That had to be terrifying.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It got easier pretty. It got easy pretty quick when you went, oh, no, everybody will just kind of get out of my way way. You have to treat it like that. Otherwise you will not get anywhere.
Tom Griswold
I could never do that.
Christy Lee
Me either.
Josh Arnold
It was a thrill. No, it was very stressful.
Christy Lee
Like king of the hill, huh?
Tom Griswold
Driving. Driving in the mountains is real tricky. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
For me the biggest problem is I'll be driving and I look up and God, that is so beautiful over there. Look at the sun on that cliff as I run into somebody. So I had to really focus, which for me as you know, very difficult.
Chick McGee
Really.
Tom Griswold
Here's a nice letter. Sad to see that Chuck Mangione died. I'm sure you did you guys cover that?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yes. In fact, we gave it too much compared to who else died last week.
Christy Lee
And it's apparently.
Josh Arnold
And Hulk Hogan and.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Apparently it's Chuck Mangione.
Chick McGee
Malcolm. Jamal Warner.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And we lost a lot last week while you were gone.
Josh Arnold
Bob Hogan, the last surviving member of Hogan's Heroes. Did you see that?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Which one?
Chick McGee
Well, you won't know who it is. He replaced Ivan Dixon. When Ivan left to actually do real.
Christy Lee
He was on the last television.
Tom Griswold
Ivan became a distinguished director.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I did not know that.
Chick McGee
He replayed. I think his name was.
Christy Lee
I'll look it up.
Chick McGee
Is it Washington?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. He directed the Gas Pump Girls. Right. And I think he might have.
Chick McGee
He played Kinch. Kinshlo.
Christy Lee
Kenneth Washington.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Well, this guy writes, I am a former band director. I still play cornet in a 30 to 35 piece brass band.
Chick McGee
Well, you can hide mistakes.
Tom Griswold
And he writes and I can pat. And I can vouch for this. I have never seen a group of people drink more than they do, apparently.
Chick McGee
Or. Well, you've always said horn players.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, horn players. Which reminds me, I. I went to a dispensary in Colorado. I've got a funny story.
Chick McGee
Did you blaze up? Did you try a gummy while you do some gummies?
Tom Griswold
I can't say which member of my family I was shopping for, but I did have to call them while I was in there and got soundly yelled at by the. Whatever you call it. What do they call weed sommeliers?
Christy Lee
A weed malier? I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, who knows? I'll get to that. This guy goes, sad to hear about Chuck Manchion. Most people don't know how prolific he was as a composer.
Chick McGee
No, no, I know exactly one. One song. Everything.
Josh Arnold
Like 30 plus albums.
Christy Lee
Yes, people like.
Chick McGee
There are people who like that.
Tom Griswold
Chuck was responsible for many soundtracks. When our brass band goes to contests, there are always instrument companies there with their products to try out. It doesn't matter what time of day you visit the vendor area, there's always some idiot who picks up a flugelhorn and immediately launches into the Chuck Manche owned song. Song feels so good. It'll happen dozens of times a day at those events. This is the equivalent, of course, of no Stairway.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
When you're in a guitar store. That's good to know. You don't remember Bob's story about Chuck Manji?
Christy Lee
Oh, we don't. We talked about it. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Nice pleasant tune.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it feels so good.
Chick McGee
You know what it is? It's very pleasant.
Tom Griswold
I saw him at an airport. You know how I knew it was him?
Chick McGee
He had the hat on. No, no.
Christy Lee
Carrying his horn.
Tom Griswold
I am totally serious. He had a Beautiful leather jacket. Like one of those ones they sell in Vegas that had his name in huge letters in the back and a logo.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Totally serious.
Chick McGee
Oh my gosh, you're making that.
Tom Griswold
No, I am not.
Christy Lee
Look at me, look at me. Whoa. Okay.
Tom Griswold
But hey, you know, great, great song. Hope, Hope he's see.
Chick McGee
But is it a song he's playing?
Christy Lee
Gorn for God.
Chick McGee
We've had this argument before and I.
Tom Griswold
Don'T think we've ever reached year in this of the school that it's not a song if there are no lyrics.
Chick McGee
There are no lyrics. It's not a song that was a number one hit. It's a piece of music.
Tom Griswold
It's a piece of music.
Josh Arnold
Instrumental music.
Chick McGee
Yeah. It's not a song. A song is words and music.
Tom Griswold
But there are a lot of songs that aren't pieces of music. They're pieces.
Chick McGee
About my work. Well, we'll be here all day now.
Tom Griswold
I've got to find my little schedule over here. It got buried. Do you have anything going on over there?
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show watched a documentary last night. I started to watch this and I didn't finish it. I found something else, but I'm going to go back to it. A new doc about Ed Sullivan. Oh, the Ed Sullivan show on Netflix. This gentleman wants Tom to know though there he did not see one plate spinner during the Ed Sullivan's document.
Tom Griswold
Why bother?
Chick McGee
I. I was just. I couldn't agree with you more. I don't, I don't know.
Josh Arnold
Because this documentary, it's a cultural thing.
Chick McGee
It is tilted toward how. How ahead of his time Ed Sullivan was putting African American acts on. Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
So. So that must. But that tells you though, there's a racial disparity in the plate spinning world.
Christy Lee
You're right.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
It's kind of a white man's world there. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
What the hell's going on?
Tom Griswold
They unrecognized black plate spinners from long ago.
Josh Arnold
Isn't that a shame? Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Satchel.
Christy Lee
Okay. We're walking on really?
Tom Griswold
Satchel plate.
Josh Arnold
Satchel plate.
Tom Griswold
Satchel plate.
Chick McGee
You know, his whole family was somehow destined to spin plates.
Josh Arnold
So they would have the platters on and the spinners on, but they would not have.
Chick McGee
It's unbelievable.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
That's the kind of discrimination.
Chick McGee
Hey, speaking of baseball, sort of coming up at sports, we had Cooper towel. We got more people in the hall of fame, including one of my all time favorite guys who wrote the cuss words in the dirt for the fans. I love that guy. We got a problem. Well, not a problem. Can these two live together and not drive each other crazy from Pittsburgh Steelers training camp in the toilet? Just for you, Tom, from that scenario.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold

Tom Griswold
Oh, I wish I'd seen it. Place go nuts.
Josh Arnold
We were losing our minds.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It was a party.
Chick McGee
You know, you. You are like a virus. You really do creep into our thoughts every now. I told you this a long time ago. I've stopped watching trailers for movies because I hear your voice in my head and I can't watch TV shows that you do. It ruins it. I still haven't watched the Jon Hand thing on Apple Plus.
Tom Griswold
John Hamm. That's a great show.
Chick McGee
God. Cause of you and everything.
Tom Griswold
Some are calling it. I think it's called luxury porn.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
Have you seen it? No. It's a. John Hamm plays a guy is. I don't know, some kind of hedge fund guy or something, and he loses his job and starts robbing his neighbors.
Christy Lee
Oh, my gosh.
Chick McGee
I've seen the trailer. They're sitting in a hot tub and his boss going, so, how you doing family? Kids? You all right? Hey, you're fired.
Tom Griswold
It's. It's a. It's a kind of a comedy and.
Christy Lee
Okay, we'll check it out.
Tom Griswold
It's very good.
Chick McGee
He does not unleash the Hamonda, does he?
Christy Lee
Does he?
Chick McGee
Oh, no, not yet.
Tom Griswold
You don't see the Hamakanda. There's certainly some scenes featuring adult intimacy.
Derek Stroop
Did they.
Chick McGee
Did they. Did they stimulate you in any way?
Tom Griswold
No, I did. It wasn't.
Chick McGee
You're about that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. No. Well, it depends. That one watch that he had, I kind of like that. That one. No kidding.
Josh Arnold
Nice watch.
Christy Lee
So he gets turned on my watches and cars.
Tom Griswold
You ought to see these watches.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I'm joking.
Chick McGee
He's in a relationship. Yeah. Okay, go ahead, Tom.
Tom Griswold
And I'm trying to think who. Of the female lead.
Chick McGee
Ex.
Josh Arnold
Wife.
Chick McGee
Yeah, She's Olivia Mon.
Tom Griswold
No, no, no.
Chick McGee
The other one.
Tom Griswold
What's her name?
Chick McGee
She's from the. The football movie with Florence Anderson.
Josh Arnold
Matt LeBlanc.
Chick McGee
Punk.
Josh Arnold
No, I'm sorry. Nine.
Chick McGee
Nine something.
Josh Arnold
The football movie with Bruce.
Chick McGee
Oh, Amanda.
Tom Griswold
Pete.
Chick McGee
She's whole nine yards.
Tom Griswold
Brilliant.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
I speak Godwin.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
The whole nine yards.
Chick McGee
I wasn't even close.
Josh Arnold
Nothing to do with not a football movie.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I thought you need another yard for first now.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Very good.
Tom Griswold
Well, sorry. Do we have more letters to get to here?
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show. I heard you all chatting about moose today. Where I live in rural Idaho. Why aren't we in Idaho right now? Do a show for my doing a vacation show.
Tom Griswold
And great air.
Chick McGee
We had an ambulance crew strike a moose last year.
Josh Arnold
Oh no.
Chick McGee
Our ambulances are gigantic 4x4 beasts with massive giant guards on the grill, guards on the front. No people were injured. Sadly, the moose did not make it. But it cost $20,000. Damage to the ambulance.
Tom Griswold
Ambulance.
Josh Arnold
I just get a new ambulance depending on how many miles are on that boy.
Chick McGee
And we had someone checking in last from Homer, Alaska. Who? They live in Alaska.
Christy Lee
There were moose all over his front yard.
Chick McGee
And Barney, they sent us pictures of moose in their front yard. And there was an eagle landing and a pine tree they had in the backyard. It was just glorious. Country town.
Christy Lee
So pretty.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I was about 30ft from a mule deer or three.
Chick McGee
Gary Mule Deary. Now how do you distinguish deer from mule deer?
Tom Griswold
Ears.
Chick McGee
Ears, basically.
Josh Arnold
I've never seen him in the wild.
Chick McGee
I was.
Tom Griswold
I was.
Chick McGee
They're stubborn.
Tom Griswold
There's a pretentious aspect to this coming.
Chick McGee
Of course there is.
Tom Griswold
I was walking between gondola one and gondola two and. But you're in the middle of the woods.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
So I took some photos. I'll show you.
Josh Arnold
Did you do the mountain roller coaster thing? I insisted you try.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I did it three times.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
It looked awesome.
Chick McGee
What is that?
Christy Lee
What?
Tom Griswold
It's a. This is the coolest thing.
Chick McGee
Is it the. Like the bobsled run and they turn.
Tom Griswold
It into a. Yeah, kind of. It's you. It's a one seater. You sit in it and you've got. On either side, you've got a handle. And I'm trying to think of it how it works here. You push it forward and it. It's gravity driven and you pull it back if you. You want to slow down. So of course my little girls never pulled it back. I spent the whole time. Imagine if a roller coaster were going down a mountain and that it winds around. It was so much fun.
Josh Arnold
It's cool. They have them all over the Appalachians and in the Rockies.
Tom Griswold
I'd never seen one. And then when you get to the bottom and I kept thinking this is going to be over soon. And it just kept going. And then you get to the bottom. And there's a machine that hauls you up. It was great.
Josh Arnold
I haven't really wanted to do one of those. That's awesome.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we did it three days in a row. The girls did it. You know, they did it even more so.
Chick McGee
It was.
Tom Griswold
But it was really fun.
Christy Lee
Is that it?
Tom Griswold
That's what the car looks like. Exactly. Really?
Chick McGee
You were in that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You.
Tom Griswold
You.
Chick McGee
Did you get motion sick at all?
Tom Griswold
No, not at all. It was. How do I describe you?
Josh Arnold
You almost a go kart slash roller coaster.
Chick McGee
You guys here in the studio will understand this, but to this reporter, that looks like a really short ride. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
That one is. That's for the.
Tom Griswold
That I believe must be like a demo.
Chick McGee
It's just a section of the track.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's a very short section of track.
Josh Arnold
Well, hey, can you fit in this?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, that's the. There used to be a. There used to be a guy that kept a. A really nice yacht in what was essentially a pond. I don't remember this. Christy.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, there's a. It's not. I think they call it a lake. It's not. It's a like four football fields of water and this guy had this huge yacht on it. I don't think they were even able to start it.
Chick McGee
How did he get the yacht there?
Tom Griswold
There, I have no idea. But it's gone. It's not there anymore. That was right. Right near here. Now.
Chick McGee
Did it sink?
Tom Griswold
No, no. If it couldn't sink the things like four, that lake is about six feet deep. There's nothing going on there. No. Let's see. This is a nice letter.
Chick McGee
Okay, Steve.
Tom Griswold
Kind enough to write, dear Bob and Tom show. I took my son to the Greg Warren. Oh, my grandson. To the Greg Warren family show Yesterday in Des Moines. Had a great time. Great and funny show.
Josh Arnold
Excellent.
Tom Griswold
Greg is fantastic.
Chick McGee
Good.
Tom Griswold
And you may recall, I think we mentioned this, Greg Warren's comedy special, which is on the Nate Bargetzi network, was voted wasn't like one of five comedy shows to see this summer by the New York Times.
Christy Lee
Very good. Very funny man.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And if you've ever been involved in sports in school, Greg has a tremendous. And he's a. He was a very good wrestler. And he's got a great story that he tells. It's so, so funny. Now, want to give me a little taste, a short hint of what's coming up in the world of sports? You don't have to do the story. Just a hint.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, but I have some Moose Bouche.
Chick McGee
Like a thesaurus of.
Tom Griswold
Yes, A precis of.
Chick McGee
We have your plugs. Major League Baseball hall of Fame inductions yesterday. Ichiro Suzuki thinks he's a stand up comedian. He's not. Bubba Wallace won the Brickyard 400 yesterday.
Josh Arnold
It was a good comedic actor, we learned over the weekend is Scotty Scheffler.
Chick McGee
Scotty Scheffler is hilarious in Happy Gilmore, too.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he's real funny.
Chick McGee
He's real.
Josh Arnold
And John Daly you knew would be funny.
Chick McGee
Very funny.
Josh Arnold
But Scotty Scheffler, a dream.
Chick McGee
All of them. Koepka, Rory, they're all great. They're all great guys.
Tom Griswold
Well, we've got that coming up. And more, including comedian Derek Stroop, super funny guy Greg Warren, another ultra super funny guy, and incredibly funny Leanne Morgan.

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, there's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Josh.
Tom Griswold
Arnold Chickster.
Chick McGee
We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick Magee. Hello, Tom. How are you?
Tom Griswold
Just going through some letters here. Got a nice one from Tim in Colorado.
Chick McGee
Hello, Tim.
Tom Griswold
Chick McGee's his favorite, he says.
Chick McGee
Well, he's favorite.
Tom Griswold
He goes. He's grown from a sometimes melancholy sidekick that had to play dumb to his current state. I enjoy him when he says, I can't breathe. I'm not sure what that means.
Chick McGee
I don't mean. I don't know what that means either.
Josh Arnold
It's when you. When you're laughing really hard.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I could go on for an hour about ho. I could go on for narrow about how good your whole team makes me feel. Well, thank you.
Josh Arnold
Well, good. Tim, we like you.
Tom Griswold
We are in an age in which complaining is more prevalent than praise. I wanted you to know you guys are A positive part of my day. Well, thanks, Tim. In Colorado. I was just in Colorado, of course. And on my vacation.
Josh Arnold
Was it. This was your first time in that area? I've been in the summer.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And I've been skiing in Colorado since I was in high school. So I've been there a lot.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I had no. Everyone said, you know, you should try coming in the summer. It was amazing.
Josh Arnold
Oh, good.
Tom Griswold
I was near Vail and Steamboat and all those great places and the air was crisp and clean.
Chick McGee
Did you ride the steamboat in Steamboat?
Tom Griswold
No, no, I, I did ride the coaster several times at Vail. We talked about it. The gravity powered single seat coaster. That is. It was so much fun.
Josh Arnold
That looks great. I'm proud of you for doing it.
Tom Griswold
If you. The thing is you have your own brakes.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And then there are these signs. You're not supposed to get within 80ft or whatever it is of the next person. That wasn't a problem with me because I had the brakes on the whole time while screaming like, like, like a, like an 8 year old boy or a 12 year old girl.
Christy Lee
Holding up the guy behind you who wants to have fun.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's their problem. They. They have, they have signs indicating whatever. So if the person behind you, they have to slow down.
Chick McGee
So I.
Tom Griswold
You're right. Though I probably should have said, hey, by the way, I'm not going all out here because you get the sensation that you're strapped in, but you get the sensation that this is going to be the first time one of those cars has ever fallen off and you're going to land head first on a mountain. At least it's steep so the rocks will break your fall.
Chick McGee
Andrew, I'm hearing you're done with the ocean vacation.
Tom Griswold
Is that true?
Chick McGee
True. Because of the sharks.
Tom Griswold
That's true. No, it's really. I have no, I. I can't do the beach anymore.
Chick McGee
Why? Oh, son.
Tom Griswold
I have skin issues and my brother has had skin cancer. My mom had it. I got to be really careful. So you've seen me when I go to the beach. I wear the huge hat. I put that paste on my face. It's misery for me.
Chick McGee
Well, but there's. There's sun and veil, I think, right? There's some everywhere.
Tom Griswold
Well, you know what else they got in veil?
Chick McGee
Oh, I do not want to participate in this conversation.
Tom Griswold
You got to reefer.
Christy Lee
Oh God.
Chick McGee
Did you have a little.
Tom Griswold
Did you have a little reefer? No, I don't. But I, I will tell you the story. So we're driving and we. We pull in to get coffee and across the street there's a. What do they call it?
Christy Lee
Dispensary.
Tom Griswold
Dispensary. And it's. That's a great name for. Anyway, so we go over there and you've got to show an ID to get in. And that's the first phase. Then you've got to show an ID again once you're inside the chamber, if you will. And only a certain number of people are allowed in at the same time. They do take credit cards now, they didn't used to.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that is big.
Christy Lee
That is big.
Tom Griswold
But I was not shopping for myself. I was shopping for a family member. I don't want to mention any names. So I didn't know what to get. So I call Willie and the guy goes, you can't make phone calls in here, sir. He gets like really upset.
Chick McGee
Oh no. Why not?
Josh Arnold
Huh?
Tom Griswold
I'm sure that in. In the process of trying to get this legislated, they had every. A hole in the legislature weighing in with some dumb rule in any event. So then I had to. I discreetly texted him.
Chick McGee
Him.
Tom Griswold
And I got a. What? I don't even know. I don't even know what I got.
Christy Lee
They're like dummies, I bet.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And these. These, I guess pre rolled joints that come in tubes and a bunch of other stuff. But it's amazing. These. The. The guy that I was speaking to knows as much. He knows everything about marijuana and cannabis and all this stuff. It's like if you're at some fancy restaurant and the wine guy comes up and you know, you can tell you where the grapes are from and etc. Etc. So that was. That was interesting. And then I guess I didn't know this. I don't. Didn't bring any back. I didn't. It wasn't for me anyway. But you can't get on an airplane with it, even if you're flying to another place where it's legal. At least that's what I was told.
Chick McGee
Well, that's what, you know, FedEx or UPS is for.
Josh Arnold
You can't ship it, right?
Chick McGee
Right out there.
Tom Griswold
I don't think so.
Chick McGee
No. No.
Josh Arnold
Probably you're under federal law on a plane. And so since it's state to state, not actually federal, that makes sense.
Tom Griswold
Okay. All right.
Josh Arnold
But yeah, that's. Do they have windows, the dispensaries? Or is it like going into a porn shop in the 90s?
Tom Griswold
That's a good question. I don't think that this particular one did. Now that I Think.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, maybe they.
Chick McGee
I think that might be a thing that they don't have windows.
Tom Griswold
It.
Derek Stroop
It.
Chick McGee
You know why? I bet. I bet the children can't look in the windows.
Tom Griswold
All I know is, what about the children? I was in one several years ago, and you. It was cash only. And they had an ATM right there.
Chick McGee
See, that's the thing.
Tom Griswold
And there was a cop at the front door.
Chick McGee
Here's the thing. They missed the boat on. They should have made it a lot more like a drug deal. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That's exciting. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
That's fun.
Chick McGee
That's fun.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You go, hey, they're holding doses. Doses. You say that and then they'll come over. Yeah. What do you need? And they mumble and you give them cash. You walk out.
Tom Griswold
That is fun.
Chick McGee
That'd be fun. Now, one of the.
Christy Lee
Just have weed or do they have, like, mushrooms?
Chick McGee
Mushrooms, yeah.
Christy Lee
Microdoses.
Tom Griswold
I don't know what they. It was this array of stuff, and it all has. It all has names. Like, you're visiting a store with, like, Hendrix albums.
Josh Arnold
Are you allowed to smoke in there? Like, it's a lounge.
Tom Griswold
Do they have a lounge area? I don't think so. I don't know.
Chick McGee
I know I would have to have a tasting area.
Tom Griswold
The one I went to had a garden. You walked up the stairs and there was this huge garden of pot. Yeah. Growing. I should have made more.
Christy Lee
They were growing their own pot.
Tom Griswold
And the guy was really nice. He goes, this case. Everything in this case comes from next door.
Josh Arnold
Interesting.
Chick McGee
So did it smell like marijuana?
Tom Griswold
It didn't smell like someone was smoking marijuana, but there was a very heavy smell of. Of what? I don't know what you call it.
Chick McGee
Is it called raw skunk?
Tom Griswold
I don't know. No.
Josh Arnold
Buds. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. The growing plants. I don't know what the name of that is. Really interesting.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So. But yeah, so I didn't bring any back for anybody.
Josh Arnold
Well, no, no.
Chick McGee
I mean, thanks a lot.
Christy Lee
Yeah. They don't want a cop waiting.
Tom Griswold
Remember the days in the back, in the 70s days, people would get off airplanes from Orlando with big bags of oranges. I always wanted to go. You know, they sell those at Kroger.
Chick McGee
When I was a kid, guys would go. Good friends of mine always went to Denver for some reason. And they'd bring back Coors beer.
Tom Griswold
Kids.
Chick McGee
Effing thing we'd ever seen.
Tom Griswold
That was huge.
Chick McGee
Bring back some Coors, man.
Christy Lee
Smokey and the Bandit. Come on.
Chick McGee
Smokey and the Bandit was born.
Tom Griswold
Oh. Can you give us just a taste of sports?
Josh Arnold
A baskin Robbins sampler. Spoon, if you will.
Tom Griswold
A precis of your forthcoming presentation.
Chick McGee
Microscopic, I feel.
Christy Lee
Samples. Can you have, by the way, unwanted.
Josh Arnold
Oh, at Baskin Robbins. I don't know.
Christy Lee
Do they start looking at you after, like, five?
Josh Arnold
Boy, I haven't walked into a Baskin Robbins in probably 40 years.
Tom Griswold
31.
Chick McGee
Real nice place.
Tom Griswold
33. Get the joke right.
Chick McGee
It's called Sundays. And I've spent some time in that ice cream place.
Christy Lee
Really?
Chick McGee
Let me. Let me taste this. Let me. I don't know, four or five every time I go in there, I went back to a.
Tom Griswold
What's it called? What's the fancy ice cream called? The Italian gelato. Gelato place. And I was with the girls and they don't allow samples anymore.
Josh Arnold
Somebody ruined it.
Tom Griswold
They used to give you those. They used to give you those little spoons.
Chick McGee
I would like a sample of all the ice cream. My own spoon.
Tom Griswold
No, the stuff is so unused. You've got to try some of that stuff before you get. You don't want to put. Spend 12 bucks to get a little cup of it and it tastes awful.
Chick McGee
So.
Tom Griswold
But, yeah, I just stick with the. My old favorites, the peanut butter. You can't go wrong.
Christy Lee
Peanut butter. Oh, peanut butter ice cream.
Tom Griswold
Peanut butter gelato. It was. Did your girlfriend have a delightful time? She did.
Chick McGee
Good.
Tom Griswold
We all had a great time.
Chick McGee
I heard that. She did.
Tom Griswold
I saw her.
Chick McGee
I got an email from her, said she enjoyed it. Major League Baseball. Yesterday we had new inductees into the hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Josh, I'm sure you've been there. I've never been there. I have. Is it the coolest ever or.
Josh Arnold
It's cool. Yeah. It's a quaint little town, and then.
Chick McGee
Big brick building, and there it is.
Tom Griswold
Where was it recently called? Coopertown.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I call in a song.
Tom Griswold
I called it.
Christy Lee
Do they have a baseball field there as well? Like, do they play games there or.
Josh Arnold
Not that I remember, but maybe they maybe sound nice. Maybe they do now. Yeah. Yeah.
Chick McGee
We are going to take a look at Ichiro's Suzuki's bust, and I will let you decide if he looks like Tom Bergeron or not. So.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Chick McGee
The first thing I thought when I saw it this morning, Bubba Wallace won the Brickyard 400. We had WNBA action last night, and NFL players maybe selling tickets at an increased value. That doesn't sound friendly to the collective bargaining agreement.
Josh Arnold
I do that with our shows. That's right. I go, hey, Jess, I need six digits. She gives me free six.
Chick McGee
And then I just Sell the highest. That's a great idea. I'm only mad I didn't think of it. And what is the 999 challenge? I don't know.
Josh Arnold
We'll find out.
Chick McGee
We're going to find out. But I'll tell you about Simply Save. That's right, the do it yourself home security system that works to prevent that break in. Impossible? I don't think so.

Chick McGee
High dollar items there catching up.
Tom Griswold
I hadn't watched TV for an entire week so it was glorious. But I did want to catch up on the news. So I turned on the news and it had been shifted in time. I guess there must have been some sporting event on priority of it but that America's Funniest video show came on. Yeah.
Chick McGee
And I, you know, things just come on your tv.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And I hadn't seen it. It was so funny. But it's amazing how many of the videos at the beginning were from those doorbell cameras.
Chick McGee
Oh sure. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And cut some of the. Do they ever give a report and if the people recovered from whatever you see them, they're like at the end of the thing. By the way, this person didn't. But anyway, hey, you get your simply Safe system, you might end up on America's Funniest Videos. Yeah, that was a great show. I really enjoy. Now that's coming up.

Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick McGee.
Christy Lee
Pat had a song while you were gone. That was great. Maybe I'll play it again.
Chick McGee
The one about his mom and dad.
Christy Lee
Yeah, Wasn't it?
Chick McGee
I love that song. Yes. I did the Mama dad song.
Christy Lee
Are you gonna play that for Tom?
Chick McGee
I'd love to. Mama. Mama worked the farm.
Josh Arnold
Mom worked the farm.
Chick McGee
I love that song. Are you aware of this song? Song?
Tom Griswold
I think I may have some idea.
Chick McGee
Is this about the differences between his mom and dad when he was.
Tom Griswold
It's about non traditional roles in contemporary culture.
Chick McGee
Certainly.
Tom Griswold
People.
Josh Arnold
I went over the final mix together.
Tom Griswold
Yes, but you want to play it live. Will people enjoy that?
Christy Lee
We loved it.
Chick McGee
People. People seem to enjoy it. Unless they were. Unless they were lying. And I can't think why they do that.
Tom Griswold
I'm only asking because I'm to trying. Trying to stall here because obviously Pat is.
Josh Arnold
I had a pee.
Christy Lee
Not ready.
Tom Griswold
You had to pee? Really? What did you.
Christy Lee
Wow. You peed for six minutes that you need.
Tom Griswold
That must. That must be.
Chick McGee
You know, I was thinking the same thing.
Tom Griswold
I guess once he's been walking around, once you get your hand on it, it's really hard to. You know.
Chick McGee
He's been walking around all morning how mad he is about the second part of the Billy Joel documentary. He can't stand it. And I totally agree. I totally agree.
Josh Arnold
It was a slog.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Such a fan.
Chick McGee
And I can't believe on Spotify, the number one Billy Joel Song is Uptown Girl. No way.
Josh Arnold
You can't believe that. I mean, that was wildly popular.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I can't.
Tom Griswold
I think.
Chick McGee
I can't.
Tom Griswold
There'd be a huge number of bands most listened to. Song is their worst.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I think Uptown Girl's good.
Chick McGee
You do?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like. I like a lot of that stuff.
Christy Lee
I think it's because of the younger generation. I think they use Spotify a lot.
Chick McGee
More than where do you stand on the longest time?
Josh Arnold
Yes, it's fine. It's fine. My favorite stuff is on, like, the Stranger and all that. But. But I like that.
Chick McGee
How about Tell her about it?
Tom Griswold
Do you like tell her about.
Josh Arnold
Sure, yeah. Yeah. They're not my favorite, but they're fine.
Tom Griswold
I mean, Uptown Girl is kind of a tribute to the four seasons.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah.
Christy Lee
And to Christie Brinkley.
Chick McGee
Yes, but aren't you the champion of. We don't need a tribute to the four seasons.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Chick McGee
Aren't you?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but I. I'm a big fan of Billy and I, I. I am, too.
Chick McGee
We all are. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I actually talk to him.
Josh Arnold
I wish I had just listened to the music instead of watching. Watching Five hours. Yeah. Captain Jack.
Tom Griswold
I haven't watched it, but yeah. My Billy Joel story. I saw him before he was famous. Here we go at Max's Kansas City opening for the great Kinky Friedman.
Josh Arnold
That's fun.
Chick McGee
It was amazing.
Tom Griswold
When I saw him, I said, do you remember opening for Kinky? He looked at me and he went, nexus, Kansas City. It was like three weeks before he got famous. It was pretty funny.
Chick McGee
Cool.
Tom Griswold
And Kinky was great. Of course, he's got that. Of course. That great song. What is it? Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed. Women's liberation has gone to your head.
Chick McGee
He's in several hall of fames, isn't he?
Tom Griswold
He's got some great stuff. Oh, yes. Sadly, Kinky is gone. A fine text and a great text.
Chick McGee
And a great wait for him to die.
Tom Griswold
That's just mean. So, I guess. Are you ready for the song? Pat, we're stalling on your behalf.
Chick McGee
Kind of has a Johnny Cash kind of.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, we'll be the judge.
Chick McGee
Mom worked the farm she worked hard every day With a baby in one.
Tom Griswold
Arm and one on the way she.
Chick McGee
Plant the crops and bale the hay.
Josh Arnold
Mom worked the farm while dad taught.
Chick McGee
Ballet dad taught ballet with pinata great charm. He would plie with a man on each arm. I'd play catch with mom while he soaked his sore feet. Cause after he'd Pawed to do.
Josh Arnold
He couldn't be a paw to me.
Chick McGee
Mom would wear those loose overalls. Daddy wore tights.
Pat Godwin
Man, he had balls.
Chick McGee
Took care of himself, worked out every day.
Josh Arnold
Mom drank a beer and watched the lpga.
Chick McGee
Our mom was home when dad passed away. His dying words were dolores, I'm. He never finished what he had to say.
Josh Arnold
Still in the closet are his clothes to this day.
Pat Godwin
There were men at the funeral.
Josh Arnold
Impeccably dressed, well tailored.
Pat Godwin
Suits perfectly pressed.
Chick McGee
The organ is played ymca One man cried loudest.
Tom Griswold
Dad's dance partner, Ray.
Chick McGee
Mom's fine since Daddy's been gone coaching.
Josh Arnold
Softball and mowing the lawn.
Chick McGee
She hangs out with Leslie, her best friends in the school.
Josh Arnold
They both got new Harleys and rainbow tattoos.
Chick McGee
When I get asked about my parents, well, all I can say is mom.
Josh Arnold
Worked the farm and dad taught me art and fashion and black goes with everything.
Chick McGee
Music, theater and show tunes are fabulous. And it's okay to be working the.
Josh Arnold
Farm and teaching ballet.
Tom Griswold
Beautiful, Pat.
Chick McGee
That's great. Thank you.
Josh Arnold
The closeted 60s and 70s.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah. Well, thank you very much. Now, have we concluded. Concluded sports?
Chick McGee
You're just. You're just hurtful. And it's even more apparent after you've been going for a while. Comes back, Cooperstown, New York. Yesterday we had five new inductees into the Major League Baseball hall of Fame fame. Billy Wagner, Ichiro Suzuki, Dave Parker, the Cobra.
Christy Lee
Dave Parker.
Chick McGee
I believe that's the only nickname in here. CC Sabathia. I said CC Sabathia.
Tom Griswold
Kind of an Elvis thing.
Chick McGee
And Dick Allen started his career as Richie Allen, but went to Dick.
Tom Griswold
No, I mean, that's true.
Josh Arnold
It is. He was Richie Allen.
Chick McGee
He was Richie Allen.
Tom Griswold
He insisted on. And that's. I'm. Chick's correct. He insisted on being called Dick. Al Allen.
Josh Arnold
Right. I. I think Dick Allen's better for him.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, absolutely. And he would play when he played first base. Actually, they had to stop letting him play first base because that's where the dirt was. And he could write words in the dirt for the crowd when he played with the Phillies. I don't think he ever did it in Philadelphia. He tried to do it on the road, but he would write the bad word, you in the dirt. And. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Name like Richie don't get a lot of respect as an adult.
Chick McGee
That's true.
Tom Griswold
Richie Blackmore, one of the great guitarists of all time.
Chick McGee
You say?
Josh Arnold
So musician is fine, right? Oh, Richie's fine for musician.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I don't want to know a judge. Richie.
Chick McGee
Richie Rich.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Anyway, here's Ichiro Suzuki's bust. If you look there, they put. They inducted Ron Howard instead of Ichiro.
Josh Arnold
It does look like Ron Howard.
Chick McGee
Does it look like Ron Howard?
Christy Lee
It doesn't look like anything like him.
Chick McGee
Don't look anything like Ichiro Suzuki.
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
Back it up a little bit.
Chick McGee
What's going on there? What do you think, Tom?
Josh Arnold
No, I mean, I see it.
Tom Griswold
No.
Josh Arnold
You guys don't see it at all?
Tom Griswold
Terrible.
Chick McGee
No, okay.
Josh Arnold
I definitely see it.
Chick McGee
Okay. Seriously, I agree with Josh. It's there a little bit.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But also, Godspeed to anybody.
Chick McGee
Oh, gosh.
Josh Arnold
Who has to do that.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You mean a sculptor? That's. That's supposed to be artistic.
Josh Arnold
No one is ever happy with any of that stuff.
Chick McGee
Well, what do you see the statue they make of me out in front of this place? It's gonna be hideous.
Tom Griswold
Well, you're gonna look more Asian than he does because that guy looks like Opie from.
Josh Arnold
No, he did look like Ron Howard. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That looks nothing like him.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's just. It does look some like him. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Josh Arnold
Also, it's. We're not looking at it fairly.
Tom Griswold
You should.
Josh Arnold
We should see the picture that the guy used. I bet we'd go that looks exactly like it. A little harder when.
Christy Lee
Well, they might have sent a picture of Ron Howard.
Josh Arnold
Plus that Ichiro is 25 years older than the.
Chick McGee
You know.
Josh Arnold
They got the hat right, though.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, they made the s. Right.
Josh Arnold
People forget that guy was a superstar.
Chick McGee
Oh, he was crazy great.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
NASCAR yesterday, Bubba Wallace wins the Indianapolis Motor Speedways Brickyard 400 despite rain delay, two overtimes. He almost ran out of gas. Kyle Larson. It was Bubba's ended his 100 race winless streak that dated back to 2022 at Kansas. He also won at Talladega in 2021. WNBA winners last night, Connecticut, Indiana, Las Vegas, Phoenix and Atlanta.
Christy Lee
Alex Palo won the race in sonoma.
Chick McGee
And the NFL is reportedly finding nearly 100 players and two dozen club employees for selling Super Bowl 59 tickets for above face value.
Josh Arnold
That's so many people who did it.
Chick McGee
I have so many.
Tom Griswold
I have a question. So does every player in the NFL get issued tickets or do they have to buy them?
Chick McGee
I don't know the answer to that question, Tom. Well done.
Tom Griswold
No, I just asking. You don't have to know. I think most of those guys get paid enough, but I bet, I bet every.
Chick McGee
I don't know if every player could get tickets. I know for a long time the super bowl is not for NFL fans. There are very Very few NFL fans of the super bowl game. Well, according.
Tom Griswold
And I mean, in some ways, it obviously not to be mean, but it's the only way many of them are ever going to see a Super bowl live because not everybody gets to play in it.
Chick McGee
Man, oh, man. You ever think what he'd be like if he was trying to be mean? Ever think about that for just a second? Sit with that.
Tom Griswold
Would you enjoy going to the super bowl if you.
Chick McGee
I wouldn't enjoy. I wouldn't enjoy going to the super bowl if Washington was in it. There.
Josh Arnold
I said my friends were. So let's say I'm an. I'm a player for the NFL. And my buddies who I was on other teams with, they go. They're, you know, they're actually playing. Yeah, I think I'd like to go watch them play.
Tom Griswold
What I like to see would be like Joe Burrow standing in front of the stadium.
Chick McGee
Medium. All right.
Tom Griswold
Who needs two?
Josh Arnold
There's no bones about it.
Chick McGee
Well, they're not gonna do that.
Josh Arnold
But a hundred players and then 200 behind the scenes, folks, is that.
Chick McGee
According to reports, the players who resold their tickets will have to pay a fine of one and a half times the face value they paid and will be prohibited from buying tickets for the next two Super Bowls unless they are playing in the game. Club employees who violated the policy will be fined two times face value value. Oh, well, that seems hardly.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you read it down at the bottom. One of the guys was charged with selling Taylor Swift tickets at a park.
Chick McGee
Oh, man.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's. He really got him.
Chick McGee
I forget which guy he's going after. That. That secondary market.
Tom Griswold
R. If you're just joining us. Hi. Thanks for joining us. This is the Bob and Tom program coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. We are enjoying, and I hope you are as well, a fine sportscast with Chick Magee. And we've covered famous Richies in the world, of course.
Chick McGee
No, we didn't say anything at all about Richie.
Tom Griswold
I said, you got your Richie Blackmore.
Josh Arnold
I have your Richie Valance. You have your guy Richie.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Christy Lee
It's. God is my witness. I have a friend named Rich Richie.
Josh Arnold
Richie Sambora.
Tom Griswold
There he is. That's a good one.
Chick McGee
Yeah. His first name. Richard. It is Richard Richie.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Chick McGee
Well, that's just.
Josh Arnold
Is it R, I T, C H, I E. Richie.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. That is silly, though. Richard Richie.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Why would they do that to him?
Chick McGee
It'd be like Arnold. Arnold. Why would you do that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
There's a joke right yeah.
Tom Griswold
Hi, I'm Dick Johnson. Don't feel bad. My middle name is Penis.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know, they really wanted to drive it home.
Josh Arnold
Named after my grandfather, of course.
Chick McGee
Hey, what is the number?
Tom Griswold
Does Lionel Richie count?
Christy Lee
No.
Josh Arnold
If Guy Richie counts, then Lionel Richie counts. But, yeah, I don't think so.
Chick McGee
Is Guy a nickname or is that his name? I don't know. That's interesting.
Tom Griswold
Well, what's the nine.
Chick McGee
Nine challenge? 999 challenge, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Does it mean it's like calling 911 in America.
Chick McGee
If you're trying to complete the 999 challenge, competitors must down nine hot dogs and nine beers and nine innings.
Josh Arnold
Okay. We all know, not everybody from experience, but at least from secondhand knowledge, that 9A beer and inning is harder than you think.
Chick McGee
It's way harder.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yes.
Chick McGee
Bob and I famously did it one time, and I only made five. I think. Bob. Seven.
Josh Arnold
Oh, dude.
Chick McGee
Oh, my Lord.
Josh Arnold
It's not enjoyable.
Chick McGee
Those one, two, three innings are no, no good. And nine hot dogs. Nine hot dogs. Well, the latest to go to social media and said he completed it during a Brewers game is jj. What? I'm sorry. Sorry. It's jj. What? He.
Josh Arnold
He could do it.
Chick McGee
He did all of it in five and a half innings. Oh.
Josh Arnold
He kind of broke the rules.
Chick McGee
Nine hot dogs, nine beers, and five and a half innings. Now, social media is going crazy because spreading it out over nine innings makes it far more difficult as food settles in the stomach. So, I'm sorry, one fan went to watch Instagram and said, you failed the assignment. This is nowhere near the same.
Josh Arnold
I agree.
Chick McGee
I agree totally. Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
He did it. Nine hot dogs, nine beers and five and a half innings.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Christy Lee
Make your stomach hurt.
Tom Griswold
What makes it hard?
Chick McGee
The hot dogs or doing one beer and one hot dog for inning put your body in more hell.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry. What team was he watching?
Chick McGee
The Brewers. Why does that matter? Because Walking Brewers.
Tom Griswold
Because if you were watching, like, the Colorado Rock. Better than the game.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. You know, Colorado nauseated no matter what.
Chick McGee
You know, Colorado just beat the Cardinals. Six nothing. You know that, right?
Josh Arnold
Shake it. This is, like, the third time he's mentioned.
Chick McGee
I hate to be that guy. I hate to be JJ Watts and another guy, but he did it wrong. Doing one beer and one hot dog printing puts your body in more hell. It makes it much harder. It has to last nine innings. Got to respect, though, the ability to do all of them in five and a half. Yes, but you do.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
This should have an asterisk, by the way.
Tom Griswold
I found A little digging over here. People with the same first name and last name.
Chick McGee
Huh?
Tom Griswold
You think of any other ones? One of them's got a really good song out right now. Phil Phillips.
Chick McGee
Phil Phillips.
Tom Griswold
No, seriously, Great, great musician. Sirhan Sirhan, of course.
Chick McGee
Sure.
Josh Arnold
I mean, was that actually a name that person was born with.
Chick McGee
With?
Tom Griswold
I don't know how that works.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I don't either.
Tom Griswold
I just know that RFK Jr. Is putting up better numbers right now in terms of killing people.
Chick McGee
Don't do. Don't do as I do. Do as I say.
Josh Arnold
Humbert Humbert.
Tom Griswold
Very good. Yeah. Wilson. Wilson from the Tim Allen Show.
Josh Arnold
I didn't know his last name was.
Chick McGee
I did not either.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's funny.
Christy Lee
It was just Wilson.
Tom Griswold
Major. Major from catch 22.
Josh Arnold
Sure, yeah.
Chick McGee
Catch 22. Huh. Huh.
Josh Arnold
That's kind of the right response, Jake.
Tom Griswold
I think it was considered to be a cultural pivoting point.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it's. Maybe it's a satirical masterpiece, but also sort of unaccessible, inaccessible, Rather kind of.
Chick McGee
Long, 100 years old.
Tom Griswold
I remember I fell asleep on a beach reading that book, and I woke up and I had one of the worst sunburns of my life.
Josh Arnold
It's not a beach read.
Tom Griswold
No, I had to read it.
Chick McGee
It's not a beach. Ready.
Tom Griswold
Rated for school. They.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Apparently thought that I could spend my entire summer reading Nine Tombs, but had its moment, certainly.
Josh Arnold
It does. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Well, what's coming up in sports that.
Chick McGee
That world record you're insisting on doing?
Tom Griswold
Well, no, I think.
Chick McGee
And Caitlin Clark sets another record.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Tom Griswold
All right. Glad she's back on the court.
Chick McGee
Nope, she's not on it. The court. This is off the court. Really? Still injured? Yes.
Tom Griswold
Is she eating hot dogs?
Chick McGee
She's not. I don't.
Josh Arnold
She may be, but I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I'm just asking.
Chick McGee
One or two.

Tom Griswold
Great, thank you.
Chick McGee
Super.
Josh Arnold
Well, I mean, that was a heated off the air conversation we all just had.
Chick McGee
Yeah. We are disagreeing about.
Josh Arnold
About Billy Joel's catalogs. I. I tend to like most. I think I like most of his stuff. And you guys only like some? Well, I'm a huge fan.
Tom Griswold
I like almost all.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, same here.
Chick McGee
I.
Josh Arnold
Summer, Highland Falls, Vienna. Brilliant scenes from Italian restaurant.
Tom Griswold
Gorgeous. Beautiful.
Chick McGee
Come on, your sister's out on a date. You just sit at home and masturbate.
Tom Griswold
That's a rough lyric.
Josh Arnold
It is.
Chick McGee
It's the truth.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no, I'm not gonna hit you hard. To the year. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that was.
Tom Griswold
That was from what, like 70?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
You didn't hear the word masturbate a lot back then.
Chick McGee
It was on the Piano man album.
Tom Griswold
It was, yeah. But we are just a little push. I'm a fan now.
Chick McGee
We'll be smiling island.
Tom Griswold
Chick McGee at the sports desk. And I think we're almost done.
Chick McGee
Caitlyn.
Josh Arnold
You take your time, you tell us everything we need to know. Chick.
Chick McGee
Thank you, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Because we still have that world record that Tom.
Tom Griswold
I'll try to finish the sentence. It's the most.
Chick McGee
Tom. Centric thing.
Tom Griswold
The next word. The next word is. Jenner.
Chick McGee
Caitlin Clark's WNBA rookie card. $660,000 at auction. Record breaking sale.
Josh Arnold
Nice.
Chick McGee
The most money yet for a female athlete at a public auction. Caitlin Clark.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Chick McGee
Congratulations.
Tom Griswold
Didn't they print a lot of those? Seems kind of steep.
Chick McGee
I would assume they printed to you, sweetheart. No, I love her.
Tom Griswold
She. But when she. She arrived, she was already famous. And if they knew she was going to be great. If I'm the. If I'm the company that makes the cards, I'm going to print a million of them.
Chick McGee
Well, you're not the company that prints the cards.
Tom Griswold
Well, they should have.
Chick McGee
I know. Part of your problem is they didn't call you to ask you if we should. How many should we print, Tom? Help us. Guide us.
Tom Griswold
It'd be a lot richer if they'd printed more. That's all I'm saying.
Chick McGee
And now everybody this could be our last stupid world record. It's that stupid.
Josh Arnold
Don't you tease me like that.
Chick McGee
Stupid. A Utah retiree has broken his own Guinness world record for the greatest vertical distance skiing downhill.
Josh Arnold
Oh yeah, this is very.
Chick McGee
Tom one year.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Last year. Thomas Hart. You can't get any more Griswold than that.
Christy Lee
That's the guy's name I get.
Tom Griswold
This guy could be related to me.
Chick McGee
I don't know. Also known as Racer Tom. It says here, you know, you say Racer Tom and everybody goes, oh yeah, Tom Hart.
Josh Arnold
Not to be confused with the other guy in his neighborhood. Racist Tom. They often. You have to be. You have to really make it clear.
Chick McGee
What are you? I like snow.
Tom Griswold
Cuz it's white. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, Racist Tom. I was talking to Racer Tom.
Chick McGee
What are you? Mailman.
Josh Arnold
You ain't one of me tell you that.
Chick McGee
Racist Tom.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry. Racer Tom. No. What did he do again?
Chick McGee
He skied 8,513. 8,513,340ft and 10.72 inches. Check in nine months.
Josh Arnold
What are you? Mailman is already. That's going to be the best line of the week.
Tom Griswold
Trending very.
Josh Arnold
What are you? Mail.
Chick McGee
Are you.
Josh Arnold
What are you?
Chick McGee
Are you. This June, the 64 year old shattered that record after skiing 11,421,065ft. A distance similar to descending Mount Everest 393 times.
Christy Lee
How did they know? I mean, how do you know?
Chick McGee
Of course you don't know.
Christy Lee
There's no way you would know this.
Tom Griswold
I can tell you how many downhill feet I did last year.
Chick McGee
Do you have a pedometer esque thing?
Tom Griswold
No, it's when you get, get the, like the epic pass or the icon. It's. I, I'm serious.
Christy Lee
Okay, okay, wait a minute. So they know how many times you've been up the mountain?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
But they don't know that you skied down it. You could have taken the sled or fallen.
Tom Griswold
As incorrect as your logic is, I will point the following update. What they don't say in this record is. You realize this guy also had to ride up, right? Whatever it is. 11 million.
Chick McGee
We've done some narrow casting in our day, but this is, this is world record stuff right here. Yeah, yeah. This is the world record for you skiers out there. Well, that's 0.19%.
Christy Lee
His name is Tom Hart.
Josh Arnold
How long do you think it took him? Like the, the actual downhill thing?
Tom Griswold
Oh, the guy's obviously great. He would probably do every run. I don't Know, I assume he did it in.
Christy Lee
Say he did it nine months in Utah.
Tom Griswold
So he might have been at Altar. I don't know if he was at where he might have been.
Chick McGee
Where?
Tom Griswold
Steer Valley Park State.
Josh Arnold
Oh, this wasn't just one. The longest one downhill trip.
Tom Griswold
No, no, no. This is multiple thousands of trips up and down.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's way less interesting. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
So, Josh, it was pointed out this would be the equivalent of going down Everest 393 times. That'd be quite a high hill.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's what I. That's why I thought it was so fascinating.
Chick McGee
The only. The only possibly fascinating thing about this was incorrect.
Josh Arnold
Right. I assumed he would if to do that. He was just going side to side most of the time.
Chick McGee
Are you happy now?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm trying to.
Josh Arnold
And he was a razor retired gentleman.
Chick McGee
Wait a minute. He's looking how many miles he skied.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I'm sure he is.
Tom Griswold
I can. I just wanted to show Christy how. I can show you during the break.
Christy Lee
Oh, that's all right.
Josh Arnold
You haven't fallen at all in a while, right?
Tom Griswold
Okay, we know about it. On January. On January 1st. That's not the right. I skied 17,600 what? Feet. Down, down.
Chick McGee
Feet.
Josh Arnold
Yards, Inches, inches, meters.
Tom Griswold
Wait a minute.
Chick McGee
You got a kilometer in there.
Josh Arnold
Ounces of snow.
Tom Griswold
What?
Chick McGee
You know what I did this morning? I went 930. 30.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I'm not gonna say what it was.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry. Vertical feet.
Josh Arnold
Okay, Vertical feet.
Tom Griswold
So every day. It shows every day how much you skied and.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha.
Tom Griswold
I'm not sure how.
Chick McGee
Hey, mailman. What? Are you.
Tom Griswold
Okay? And you didn't want to do the story?
Chick McGee
What, are you taking credit for that? Okay, that's fine.
Tom Griswold
Old man Hope he had one of those season passes.
Josh Arnold
No. Otherwise quite pricey.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, because if he didn't. If he skied every day.
Christy Lee
How old was the guy again?
Chick McGee
64.
Christy Lee
Oh, that's something.
Chick McGee
Oh, I thought he was old.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I thought he was like 84.
Chick McGee
That's what I thought.
Christy Lee
Get a job, dude.
Tom Griswold
Are you kidding? Wouldn't you rather. What a fun time. Although I guess after a while it might get kind of dull. It doesn't say if he went to.
Chick McGee
I tried to do this. I've tried to do this many times. Your brain, Tom, is not everyone's brain. Your memories, your things you enjoy. Not everyone enjoys. Very few would enjoy the same things you do or have the same memories like you do. Okay, that's broadcasting. Let's include every.
Josh Arnold
Have you skied? Where this Guy skied.
Tom Griswold
It doesn't say. I'm guessing if I've skied in Utah, certainly many times.
Chick McGee
He skied anywhere it would be.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Utah, Great snow there.
Chick McGee
Oh, don't tell me about it. Oh, yeah.
Christy Lee
Who has the bad snow? Is there bad snow?
Chick McGee
Jersey?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Jersey snow gets a little gross.
Chick McGee
Macon, Georgia, horrible snow.
Tom Griswold
Obviously, it depends on the weather.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Tom Griswold
I mean, if it's not snowing, it.
Chick McGee
Was a salient port.
Josh Arnold
Right, right. And it was just. Oh, forgive us.
Chick McGee
We did not think about that.
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Tom Griswold
I mean, for example, I was just in Colorado and I didn't ski. You know why?
Christy Lee
Because there was no snow.
Tom Griswold
You know why?
Christy Lee
Because it's summer.
Josh Arnold
Because of the weather. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Unbelievable.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Make a point with you guys. I'll see if I can find out where he skied.
Josh Arnold
That's all right.
Chick McGee
We're good.
Tom Griswold
I actually met a guy. I met a guy at a sushi bar car.
Chick McGee
Let's put a pin in there.
Tom Griswold
That had skied every day for like three years.
Chick McGee
Oh, God, what a boring conversation. That must have been talking to somebody.
Christy Lee
Where'd he go in the summer?
Tom Griswold
South America.
Josh Arnold
Tuesday I skied. Wednesday I ski.
Tom Griswold
On. Thursday I took a break.
Chick McGee
California roll. Thursday I ski.
Josh Arnold
Is this real soft shell crap? Yeah.
Chick McGee
Is that Friday ice ski?
Tom Griswold
Is this piggy Fish? I was. We were sitting at the bar at the right. And I, Kelly and I were desperately trying to move on into this conversation.
Chick McGee
But my.
Josh Arnold
He just kept going.
Tom Griswold
The guy goes, hey, you know, I. I skied every day for the last three years. Did you know?
Josh Arnold
How about that?
Chick McGee
He started the conversation. Yeah. Okay.
Tom Griswold
This poor guy, he was a loner.
Christy Lee
And you think if he's skiing every day.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So first of all, I'm glad you can afford the lift.
Chick McGee
He's being sexually simulated somehow by the act of skiing. Yeah. If you ski that much. Much. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
He's.
Chick McGee
He's having an organ.
Josh Arnold
There might be a grizzly bear going, you're not here for the skiing, are you?
Tom Griswold
Very, very horny. They call him Three Pole Tone now.
Chick McGee
Christy Lee from the news desk. Coming up, sports has been finished.

Tom Griswold
Okay? Sure.
Chick McGee
What hat is he wearing? Can you, can you tell what team, what league? For extra credit, I'm going to say what year?
Tom Griswold
I believe that's 1862. That's the Confederacy.
Christy Lee
Oh, Jesus.
Chick McGee
No, no, that'll really.
Derek Stroop
That, that'll go well with my accent. Real, real zinger out the gate.
Tom Griswold
Here it. I can't see it from here. What is it? Are those baseball bats?
Chick McGee
I'll tell you, it's the NBA.
Christy Lee
Yeah. It's a basketball team.
Chick McGee
You can see the. There's a basketball at the bottom.
Tom Griswold
I can't see.
Josh Arnold
A couple pickaxes.
Chick McGee
A couple of pickaxes. And, and it's. It's a state. A lot of skiing goes on in this state.
Tom Griswold
So it's not the Globetrotters?
Chick McGee
No.
Josh Arnold
What does that even mean?
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Well, I mean, how many of the Globetrotters ski? Come on.
Chick McGee
Oh. Oh.
Josh Arnold
You know, I wouldn't know. I'm not too sure.
Chick McGee
Are you sure you don't know?
Josh Arnold
I know, I know they're not allowed to ski where you ski.
Chick McGee
That's right. It's the 2022, 20, 23. World champion Denver. Denver Nuggets.
Tom Griswold
That's the Timberwolves.
Chick McGee
It's the Denver Nuggets on there.
Josh Arnold
They're pickaxes.
Derek Stroop
They're the Denver Nuggets.
Chick McGee
Nuggets of coal mining. For coal.
Tom Griswold
See, it looks like a big X where I'm sitting.
Chick McGee
It's.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Derek's 30ft away from me.
Chick McGee
Yeah, but it's a logo and you can see what it is. Josh is the same distance. And he said there are pickaxes. Yes. You jerk. That's Derek. I want to be here.
Tom Griswold
Was that a freebie or are you a fan?
Derek Stroop
No, I'm a fan. Yeah. I lived out there for almost 11 years.
Tom Griswold
Denver?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Ah, yeah, I was just there.
Derek Stroop
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You were just in Denver.
Tom Griswold
I was at the airport. Airport.
Derek Stroop
Oh.
Chick McGee
Oh, well, same thing.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, but he was in Colorado.
Derek Stroop
Well, I can tell you if you're at the Denver airport, you weren't in Denver.
Josh Arnold
That's for sure.
Derek Stroop
You were closer to touching Kansas.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I've said that for years. When they built that new airport, they said. Someone said, I got on a deal. Let's go farther away.
Derek Stroop
Yeah. There's no way you can tell me that Uber didn't have a hand in that airport. There's no way I'm taking a 75 Uber to take an 85 United flight. There's no way. There's no way Uber didn't go. No. Put it out there a little bit.
Tom Griswold
Oh, my God.
Chick McGee
I never thought of that.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Where we live, our Ubers are 75, 80 bucks and that. But they have fair wars every now and then. Ge.
Tom Griswold
That airport is perpetually being constructed.
Derek Stroop
It is. It is.
Tom Griswold
I don't. I mean, I remember.
Derek Stroop
I mean. Now, here's the thing about flying out of Denver. You got a direct flight, I mean, to villages. I mean, you can fly anywhere because it is. It is the connection city. I miss the that. I live in New York City now. But flying out of Denver has got to be one of the best cities. I mean, some of your flights might be a little longer, yada, yada, but it's directs everywhere.
Chick McGee
You're right.
Tom Griswold
It's a nice hub.
Derek Stroop
It is. It is.
Tom Griswold
I was the last one on my plane. It's a long story. I won't bore you with, let's talk about Derek, but you have some game involved.
Chick McGee
Wait a minute. Identifying the hat. Because you were going to say, what type of hat is that you're wearing? Or something like that.
Tom Griswold
No, I was going to say, who are you named after who?
Derek Stroop
What are you talking about? My first name. Derek.
Tom Griswold
Derek.
Derek Stroop
I don't think I'm named. I mean, I'm not named after anybody.
Chick McGee
No, no. His dad fought oil well fire.
Derek Stroop
Yeah. I beat him to it.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
The correct answer would have been Eric Clapton, Derek and the Dominoes. But we'll move on.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
Eric's doing well for himself. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's even. It's spelled differently.
Christy Lee
So you were the last one on your plane. Were you traveling alone?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Josh Arnold
You're being the last one on your plane. You were at the wrong gate.
Chick McGee
No, no, no, I got it. It. Were you asleep? No, no.
Tom Griswold
I got there two hours early.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And my gate was. There was a construction thing there, so it was kind of half cordoned off.
Chick McGee
Your family's got it down traveling with you, don't they? They don't. Which is the best way to travel.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they went separately.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And there was. And I, you know, got there early, looked at the big screen, got one to my gate.
Chick McGee
Can't imagine him there going around an airport.
Tom Griswold
They had the desk there with the sign saying where it's going.
Christy Lee
You didn't even talk about. About your TSA adventure. You couldn't find the pre check and.
Tom Griswold
Well, but it was great. And everyone was super friendly in tsa, both here and there.
Christy Lee
Thank you.
Chick McGee
Well, you didn't have to go through Philadelphia. Why were you the last person on your flight?
Tom Griswold
So I positioned myself right near the door to the Jetway because I want to be the. You know, want to get the plane because I had the nice, nice ticket, and so I.
Chick McGee
Nice.
Derek Stroop
Hey.
Chick McGee
Hey. Josh is your first class? When Tom. When Tom dies, he has a nice ticket. Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's made out of satin.
Chick McGee
Real nice.
Tom Griswold
It's kind of hard to explain because.
Chick McGee
Bastard.
Tom Griswold
There's, like, police tape everywhere. They're building something. And so I. Wait a minute.
Chick McGee
What airport is this?
Tom Griswold
Denver.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
So I finally. I'm literally sitting there for two hours, and I finally look up and I go, what is this thing in a board? So I walk up to the guy and I go, when is this flight board? He goes, oh, we changed the gate. Well, maybe an announcement would have been nice.
Josh Arnold
I guarantee they made.
Chick McGee
No less than 7.
Tom Griswold
I was right there because they'd had. They'd moved the normal desk. The desk for that gate.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
Is not working. So they were down at the next one.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So if they made an announcement, I didn't hear it because I was too close to the actual.
Christy Lee
Did they not send you A text. They always text you.
Tom Griswold
That's what I want to know.
Josh Arnold
They see your nice, Nice ticket.
Chick McGee
Yeah. What about your nice ticket?
Tom Griswold
I had a very nice ticket.
Christy Lee
I always got. I get text.
Tom Griswold
I know. That was what Kelly and I were talking about last night. Why didn't they text everybody? They changed the gate, and the guy goes, well, we changed it on the big board. Well, that's great. So I have to get up and walk halfway down the airport to find the big board.
Josh Arnold
I think being blast on the plane is a gift.
Christy Lee
It is a gift. It really is.
Josh Arnold
No, you love sitting there while everybody else boards.
Tom Griswold
No, worse. It was.
Chick McGee
Yeah, but everybody else can't see him in his nice ticket seat.
Christy Lee
It was a nice, nice ticket. So he got a free drink.
Tom Griswold
No, no, it was. I. It was one of those choose your own seat seats.
Chick McGee
So that is terrible. I got.
Tom Griswold
I got wedged between two people.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
And then my carry.
Josh Arnold
A nice ticket at all.
Tom Griswold
My carry on had to be sent to the back of the plane. So when it landed, I had to.
Chick McGee
You had a middle seat.
Derek Stroop
Oh, my goodness.
Tom Griswold
It was nice. They were nice. It was fun. But in any event, that's that airport. When are they ever going to finish it? If you.
Christy Lee
You.
Tom Griswold
If you've ever been to the Denver airport, when you look at tsa, it's like looking at a photograph of Ellis island. But there are more people there.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah. And also, I mean, they really lean in. There's a lot of conspiracy theories with that airport about that. There's, like this underground kind of thing going on. They lean into it.
Josh Arnold
They're like, literally underground.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, there's. There's all kinds of conspiracy theories about the DIA There has been for a while. You know, they got Lucifer, the. That Bronco. That blue Bronco out front with the red eye. It fell on the guy that. That sculpted it and killed him. And so that's like that. That's a, you know, one of the stories around there. But, yeah, they lean into it. They're like, sorry for the delay on construction. We've been trying to. We've been dealing with aliens. Like, they have signs that really lean in, Lean into it.
Tom Griswold
But, yeah, interesting, Interesting. But, yeah, it was great. Great place. Love my pilots. Lovely everyone working on the airlines. They're great.
Christy Lee
Glad you didn't miss your flight.
Tom Griswold
Flight. It was. They shut the door to the jetway.
Christy Lee
Oh.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Christy Lee
Usually they won't reopen it.
Tom Griswold
Not. Not. Not the plane. The.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
The end of the. The Jetway where it ends in the airport.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And I said they didn't change the location on the board where I was sitting because I'd gotten there two hours early. So I've learned a lesson, which is every 10 minutes, walk up there and say, is this still the gate?
Josh Arnold
Oh, no, that's not the lesson.
Pat Godwin
Just look at the screen.
Tom Griswold
Check your t. Text. I did not get a text. I, I, I'll show you my phone. No text.
Chick McGee
Is it possible. I'm, I'm, I'm really trying to make some progress with you today. Is it possible that any of this was your fault?
Tom Griswold
No, I've got, I've, I had a hard ticket, and it says the gate right there.
Chick McGee
And they, you.
Tom Griswold
Gate 40. You.
Chick McGee
They. There's no way they could have made an announcement and you missed it.
Christy Lee
What gate did it go out of?
Tom Griswold
Like, why, why did you have a hard ticket?
Chick McGee
It.
Christy Lee
40. And you. What gate did it go out of?
Chick McGee
56.
Tom Griswold
51.
Christy Lee
Oh.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
So I got some extra steps in.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you did.
Chick McGee
Fast.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, running. It was close.
Christy Lee
Anyway, he has a hard ticket because he's, he prints them at the.
Tom Griswold
No, because I was checking a bag, and when you check a bag for. I guess they automatically gave me a ticket. Oh, I don't know. But that phone thing is. That scares me. I like having a hard ticket where you put your ticket on the phone.
Josh Arnold
I love it.
Derek Stroop
That's a tough sentence in 2025. That phone thing really scares me. Yeah, I hate, I hate to break.
Chick McGee
It to you, but there's no, there's no wires. You still always get a hard ticket.
Tom Griswold
I did in this. I didn't. Not always, but I did in this case, and it was.
Josh Arnold
Well, that phone thing really scares me. Could have been a quote from 1906.
Chick McGee
100%.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
And he goes, have y' all heard about debit cards? Are you kidding me? My bank's on a card.
Christy Lee
Could be on your phone.
Tom Griswold
I know, but I know Kelly had. What is it called? She had texted me the ticket the day before. I looked at it, went, that's great. And when I got to the airport, it wouldn't open up.
Josh Arnold
Oh.
Tom Griswold
So I had to do some homework. I called Killen. I said, hey, can you resend me the ticket? It won't open up.
Josh Arnold
And she said, what?
Tom Griswold
Oh, I'm sure she was.
Chick McGee
At any point during that conversation, did you hear, like, a mute button go on or anything on her end or.
Tom Griswold
I like a hard ticket. I want to be able to. I want to be able to prove I deserve to be on this plane.
Chick McGee
Oh, they they know, probably, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they're doing an ad campaign at Southwest. You know it's coming. Assigned seats, right? Do people like assigned seats?
Christy Lee
No, I, they, I think people like the way Southwest does it.
Chick McGee
I do, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Great.
Christy Lee
Especially unless you miss your A group, then you're.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry. I like the way way first class works is how I like it.
Christy Lee
Yeah. If you can afford that.
Tom Griswold
They don't have first class.
Derek Stroop
Well, here's my thing with Southwest. I, I like the open seating once I'm on the plane. I hate the pre boarding process where everybody's got not showing their cards and kind of you.
Chick McGee
I've got to go.
Derek Stroop
I gotta go shake people down to see if they're really a 31. You should have your phone. I, I can't. This guy yesterday would not move. He had candy crush house. I mean, man in his 50s, just going for a high score. We're all trying to. He would not just share your position. Because I'm somebody, you know, you'll hear somebody go, it doesn't matter. We're all going to the same place. And I go, you're a psychopath, man. You don't feel that way when you're in middle seat in row 42. I'll go, no, we're all headed to Orlando.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
That's crazy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
I want everybody in their right position.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Derek Stroop
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah. You paid extra for that. You won it.
Derek Stroop
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Give you cards, you have to tape to your forehead.
Derek Stroop
I feel that way. I really do. One time, me and my wife, we were flying at a separate gate, same airport in Pensacola. I was flying United, she was flying Southwest. She's very, she's very introverted young lady. Okay. I saw her just getting pushed to the back. To the back. I went over there, I took her ticket and I went through the line. I went, hey, are you a. Oh, a 30. Head on back, big dog.
Tom Griswold
We're headed to the.
Derek Stroop
I took Alyssa all the way to the front of the line. Everybody was looking at me like, oh, he's a psycho. But Alyssa was standing exactly where she should because they were bullying her. I mean, they were pushing her back, but because she's not going to fight her way and force her phone in their face. So, I mean, I had to go over there and it was, it was awkward, I'm not gonna lie. But she was good. You know, I'm just that type of guy.
Tom Griswold
I've actually seen them do a thing where someone comes up and they go to scan the ticket. No, no, no, no. You're not in the group.
Christy Lee
Yes, I've. I've seen that.
Derek Stroop
Real hero.
Chick McGee
Yeah, American hero.
Tom Griswold
The Lindbergh of seating charts.
Josh Arnold
I travel with a comedian who faked an injury to get on the first group.
Tom Griswold
Really? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
We got good seats though, didn't we, Pat?
Tom Griswold
I was gonna. I was gonna get. Was it Geechee guy? Yes, I just figured. Makes sense. Of course, we're hanging out with great comedian Derek Stroop. And Derek got some cool stuff coming up real quick. He's gonna be at the Grove Comedy Club in Lowell, Arkansas, August 1st and 2nd. He's doing the Tonight show with Jimmy Fallon August 6th.
Chick McGee
How great is that?
Tom Griswold
The funny bone in Syracuse, the 19th and 20th of September. The Des Moines Funny Bone. A great spot. Des Moines, Iowa, coming up on September 26th and 27th.
Chick McGee
Did you see somebody hit the Des Moines Embassy Suites with their car over the weekend? Did I see that?
Josh Arnold
Oh, no kidding.
Tom Griswold
Ran right into.
Chick McGee
Yeah, it's hilarious.
Christy Lee
Oops.
Chick McGee
I don't think no one was hurt but ramp. So watch out for that when you're in Des Moines.
Tom Griswold
Is that the thing with the boat?
Chick McGee
No, no, no. It was a car. It was a car on the street. It was a police chase.
Tom Griswold
I just had the TV on. I saw this boat, this boat driving into a building. Did anybody else see it? No.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Never mind. I'm confused. We're going to talk with Derek, a wonderful guy and the kind of guy that stands up for his woman.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
He didn't tell you the best part of that story, which was he got her on the pun plane and then missed his.
Josh Arnold
So.
Tom Griswold
That's right. You are the man. That's right. I want to say hello to my friends at the Silac Insurance Company. Because of the stock market lately, kind of like a roller coaster.

Yeah.
Derek Stroop
Yep. Good starter borough.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Let's step up from Staten Islands.
Derek Stroop

Tom Griswold
Okay, Greg, I can't help but notice this. The new tour is up and running. Is that correct? Looks like you're going to be.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
At the Des Moines, Iowa Funny Bone.
Pat Godwin
I was just there, actually.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I see. Okay. Oh, that's right. And I forgot I had this letter I wanted to read. A guy saw your show, you brought his grandson up on stage. He went to the family show.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Said it was great. Loved it.
Chick McGee
So that's good.
Tom Griswold
And your next stop is Naples, Florida at Off the hook on August 7th.
Josh Arnold
Greg, are you aware that Naples sounds a little like Nipples?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Did you know that? Funny.
Chick McGee
Hello? Yeah, Josh, that it's helpful.
Josh Arnold
You know, men and women tend to.
Pat Godwin
See those things a little quicker than I do.
Tom Griswold
Josh, what does McCurdy's Comedy Theater sound like? That's where Godwin just was in Sarasota, Florida, August 8th.
Chick McGee
Yeah, Greg's gonna be there, too.
Tom Griswold
Greg will be there August 8th and 9th.
Chick McGee
9Th.
Tom Griswold
Does McCurdy's remind you of anything?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, vaginas.
Pat Godwin
I'm not sure how you. I'm not sure how you got that.
Josh Arnold
I. I tend to see these things a little better than you do.
Tom Griswold
I'm. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry I asked. Other stops include Sarasota, Charleston, Greenville, South Carolina, Charlotte. I could go on, but I work a lot.
Chick McGee
People buy tickets to see me and Greg.
Tom Griswold
It's. It's the.
Pat Godwin
I don't sound like that. I don't sound like that.
Tom Griswold
It's the sound a little like the Impulse Buy Comedy Tour.
Josh Arnold
Awesome.
Tom Griswold
That's a great name.
Chick McGee
Oh, is this guy hooks up with your podcast? Are you plugging that as you're out on the tour? Is that what you're doing, Greg?
Pat Godwin
Well, it's.
Chick McGee
It. You know, it's all.
Pat Godwin
All fits together.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Thanks for noticing.
Chick McGee
Consumer report. What is it you're ripping off? What is it?
Tom Griswold
No. Hey, Greg, this is. I'll try to get off this topic and move on. This morning we had a photograph of a special statue kind of thing for the Baseball hall of Fame.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Ichiro's.
Chick McGee
Ichiro Suzuki's plaque looks like Ron Howard, American Treasure.
Tom Griswold
I think the guy. I think the guy that did that famous Lucille Ball statue.
Derek Stroop
Remember that one?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I think that was like, in Bemis Point, New York, or whatever that.
Chick McGee
That got Ron Howard.
Pat Godwin
Not. Not Clint Howard, though.
Josh Arnold
Right, Right, right, right. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Right. Yeah. Clint Howard would be. Would be worse.
Josh Arnold
His would look abstract.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but don't pick on Clint.
Pat Godwin
I like Clint Howard.
Josh Arnold
I do, too. We've met him. He's great.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Can I take a moment?
Chick McGee
Have you.
Pat Godwin
You guys met Clint Howard?
Christy Lee
Oh, he's been in you.
Chick McGee
Yeah, a couple times.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
He's awesome, but he has very unique looks.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And there's a terrific book out there. I think it's just called Brothers.
Josh Arnold
It's called the Boys.
Tom Griswold
The Boys. Sorry. Thank you. It's terrific. It's about. It's about Ron Howard and his brother Clint. Really good. I highly recommend it.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, I like. I really enjoy him.
Tom Griswold
And you'd like it, Greg.
Chick McGee
It's.
Tom Griswold
I think. I'm not sure about everybody else.
Josh Arnold
I loved it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, you did?
Christy Lee
My husband loved it.
Tom Griswold
Now, Greg, we should explain.
Chick McGee
I liked it. No one asked, but I like it.
Tom Griswold
We should explain to our guest, Derek Stroop, that on a A semi weekly basis, or is it semi monthly? I can never remember. You like to weigh in on a particular topic, you focus in on it, and we go from there. Is that going to be the case today?
Pat Godwin
Yeah. Yeah, it is. Before we get to it, I just wanted to. Josh reminded me of something that happened a while back that I don't think I told you guys about when Josh was trying to. Well, he. Naples is what reminded me of this.
Derek Stroop
But.
Pat Godwin
I. I met this guy. You know, there's always somebody after a show that's. That's gonna try to let you know that he. He's important too. Maybe.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Oh, sure.
Pat Godwin
So we did a comedy show not far from where you and I grew up, Josh. It was at an American Legion hall. And after the show, the guy was like, talking. He's like, yeah, yeah, you were pretty funny.
Chick McGee
Me?
Pat Godwin
He goes, you know, when I was in high school, my mom and dad owned the Baskin Robbins by Crestwood Mall. So I got a lot of women.
Chick McGee
I got a lot of women. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Now, in his defense, Crestwood Mall was the place to meet.
Pat Godwin
It was a hopping place, but I didn't see it going there. I thought he was going to say, I got a lot of ice cream. And I would have been equally impressed.
Chick McGee
Ye.
Tom Griswold
Well, Greg, I did a sales pitch on your previous comedy special, where the field corn grows.
Josh Arnold
Boy, that's Previous. Previous. Previous.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Because I was. It's a long. We were walking through the streets of Vale, Colorado, and there was this little kid on a bicycle that could barely ride. He was like, you know, five, and he was sobbing.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no.
Tom Griswold
So we went and said, are you okay, little boy? And we. It was so weird. And there's this. There's this guy. There's this guy there.
Chick McGee
You think Charles Dickens is still alive? No.
Tom Griswold
This kid.
Chick McGee
Are you okay, little boy?
Tom Griswold
He was in the street, and there were cars, so. And this. This guy's there, too. This guy walks up, and so we say, we got to figure out what to do here. So, you know, stay here. He couldn't find his mom.
Josh Arnold
Oh. So he was just lost.
Tom Griswold
He was lost. And he was little kid.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And he was weaving through the Mace. And this guy was really nice, and it was. We. We made a plan. Okay, you go that way. Kelly goes this way. It was hard to find this guy's mom and his brother. And so, you know, we stood there with this kid. Anyway, so this. So eventually this guy comes back and he's got the mom, and I. I didn't think she was her Level of. Oh, boy, here we go. She's sober. What's the word I'm looking for? Not disgrace. It wasn't commensurate with the amount of shock and sadness she should have for losing her kid.
Josh Arnold
I see.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, but I mean, kids in Vail, they probably got air tags on them. She probably knew exactly where that kid was.
Tom Griswold
So anyway, so then we're all walking together, we start talking, and this guy, turns out he owns a farm. And I forget how many thousands of acres it was, but. But plenty, huh? And he lives there half the time, so he's doing just fine. But I. And I said, what do you grow? And he goes, I. I grow corn. Well, you've got it. Have you seen where the field corn grows? He goes, no. So I passed it along. So you. You may have a new fan.
Josh Arnold
How about that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, a new fan that has his own jet, by the way.
Pat Godwin
Oh, that's a good fan.
Tom Griswold
Those are the fans.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Did anyone else lose the will to live during that story I am trying to plug?
Josh Arnold
I felt bad for Greg.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Plan something.
Chick McGee
No wonder he only calls once every six months. I don't blame him.
Josh Arnold
Exactly.
Pat Godwin
The. The topic today is Mountain Dew, guys.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Are you a fan? Personally?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, I don't. I had a time in my life when it was real important to me.
Tom Griswold
I don't, I don't.
Pat Godwin
I don't choose it that often now, but I think it's a good product.
Josh Arnold
Very similar. My 20s, it was mostly what I drank, soda wise.
Tom Griswold
And then I can't get even a single sip down.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Chick McGee
Really?
Tom Griswold
But Oscar drinks it here every day.
Chick McGee
Yeah, he loves it.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, it's. Is that his caffeine delivery system there?
Josh Arnold
I think so, yeah. He's down to one, I believe, a day. He tries his best.
Derek Stroop
I mean, I. I was raised by a man that drank it every morning as like, like people drank coffee. My dad did it. I would assume it would be a lot of his, like 30s and 40s, but he'd start off back, you know, this is back in the 80s, 90s, but I mean, everybody was on board with Mountain Dew before we cared about what was in it. But he would start off every day with the biggest glass of Mountain Dew. He would drink it throughout the day because I think everybody's kind of had their run with Mountain Dew because it's very addictive. The amount of sugar, it. It draws you back in. You start to really feel like that you need it. But yeah, I was raised my. My old man. I mean, when I Picture him growing up big. I mean, I can smell the speed stick. I can see the Mountain Dew.
Tom Griswold
When did that come out? That was. Is that 60s?
Chick McGee
Well, no. A lot longer.
Pat Godwin
No, it goes way back. It was a couple of fellas, Barney and Ali Harmon, they, they were in Georgia. They ran a Orange Crush bottling plant in Augusta, Georgia. And like a lot of things in the Depression era, it failed. You guys are familiar with failure, right?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Derek Stroop
Well, mainly the Depression error.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, both. Yeah. Depression and failure, sometimes they go hand in hand.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's true.
Pat Godwin
And then they moved up to Knoxville, and when they were living in Augusta, they had a favorite mixer that they like to mix with their, their whiskey. And it was called Natural Setup. And the, that was back in the day when all the soda brands were regional so they couldn't get their hands on Natural Setup. When they were living in Knoxville, they decided to invent their own mixer. Do you guys, you guys know the term setup?
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Doesn't that mean if you're at a bar.
Derek Stroop
Yep, yep.
Tom Griswold
You.
Pat Godwin
It's a mixer. I, I just know it from. I went to a series of weddings. I had some. I had some.
Chick McGee
Oh, blind date? Is that what you're trying to say?
Pat Godwin
No, no, it's not set up. There would be wedding invitations that would say beer and setups provided.
Tom Griswold
Oh, so you, you bring your own booze and they give you.
Pat Godwin
You bring your own booze.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
And. And they'll, they'll have the mixture of.
Christy Lee
Soda and the tonic water and all that.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Granberry.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Fun weddings these were. But not like fancy, I guess would be way to say it. So they, they decided they're going to make their own mixer. Now think more 7up or Sprite versus the Mountain Dew of today.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Pat Godwin
And they called it Personal Setup, and then they decided to call it Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is an old timey slogan for moonshine.
Chick McGee
Sure.
Derek Stroop
That's right. That's right.
Pat Godwin
So when they, when they mix their, their personal setup with the whiskey, it, it, it reminded them of moonshine.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha.
Pat Godwin
The next part gets a little bit. There's little hazy. There's a couple different opinions. What happened. Some say they, they brought their, their Mountain Dew as a joke to a bottling convention and a Johnson City, Tennessee bottler liked it. Others say they met Charles Gordon on a train. Charles worked in Johnson City. To bottle her, he bottled. Dr. Enough. You guys heard of this thing?
Chick McGee
No, no, but I'm very intrigued. Dr.
Pat Godwin
Enough is e N U F it still exists today. It is sort of a like a regional 7 upper sprite. Their slogan is enough is enough. The second enough is spelled correctly.
Tom Griswold
Is there a real doctor enough? Probably a proctologist.
Pat Godwin
I'm not familiar, Tom, but if you've.
Tom Griswold
Had one of those exams, do you.
Chick McGee
Remember one of the slogans? Maybe you've got it there, Greg. For Mountain Dew commercial slogan, do the Dew. Well, Yahoo. Mountain Dew. Of course.
Pat Godwin
Yes, that would. They had a, they had a. Thank you for bringing that up. They have a very hillbilly theme going back. It was Yahoo. Mountain Dew. The, the brothers called it zero proof hillbilly moonshine and it said it'll tickle your innards.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
I plainly remember why.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah.
Pat Godwin
And the, the yore is spelled Y.
Chick McGee
O R E. Sure, sure.
Derek Stroop
It all makes sense. My dad's from Kentucky and so this is all checking out completely.
Pat Godwin
Okay.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they had like a. Pictures of hillbillies like barefoot toting rifles.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Pat Godwin
One, one hillbillies name was Grandpappy and he was shown shooting at a government revenuer.
Chick McGee
So, so they.
Tom Griswold
Guys.
Pat Godwin
Yeah. There's a fellow named Bill Bridgeforth. In 1958, sort of, he had a Tri City lemonade soda and that's when he, he started. He was involved in changing the flavor. In 1961. The TIP Corporation in Marion, Virginia bought it and they moved the flavor on. The guys that was responsible a lot of that was William Bill Jones.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah, William Quotation mark.
Tom Griswold
Bill.
Pat Godwin
They have the Bill in quotations. I can tell you with me, if you're going to put a nickname in quotation, it better be something like Mad.
Chick McGee
Dog.
Derek Stroop
William to Bill. What a leak.
Josh Arnold
Did the color change as the flavor changed?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, actually when Pepsi got a hold of it in 1964, they added orange flavoring and lime green coloring. They wanted a piece of it because they were doing business with the Tip and they noticed it was selling a lot.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Jeff Johnson, he was behind that, I believe.
Pat Godwin
Thank you, Joshua. Josh arnold.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
In 1964, hillbillies were a big deal. Why is that? Guys, Guys.
Christy Lee
Beverly Hillbillies.
Pat Godwin
Yes, Christy, Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Pepsi was like, these Beverly Hillbillies are a big deal. Let's see what we can do. So they, they sort of stuck with the hillbilly marketing theme. They really got into it. Apparently when they introduced Mountain Dew in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia license commissioner got a letter from a. A fictional character, Herbert Eugene Walton, to build a bunch of wooden outhouses in downtown Philly. The actor playing Herbert the hillbilly loaded a car and drove slowly through downtown Philadelphia. Causing a lot of traffic jams. I've been out of the game for a while, guys. I'm not sure that's how I'd want to introduce a product is to cause a traffic jam.
Chick McGee
Am, but yeah.
Pat Godwin
So anyways, they, yeah, they, they stuck with the hillbilly thing till about 1969. Then they just abandoned marketing and somehow around 76, Mountain Dew started gaining momentum and it got huge in the 80s and the 90s.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
That became a big X Games type drink.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Is it worse?
Pat Godwin
Why, why is that? Well, yeah, you're right. They got real into the, the active games. Also online gaming.
Chick McGee
Josh.
Josh Arnold
Maybe because the caffeine keeps you up.
Pat Godwin
Yes. And you don't have to go rebrew coffee. You can just, you know, put a 2 liter of mountain Dew next to you and keep playing your games.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Where does it stand in with respect to Coke and Pepsi and everything else in terms of sales? Do you know?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, it's a, it's a strong number. Four does about 6 to 7% of the carbonated beverage market behind Coke, Diet Coke and Pepsi. Okay, it's got 55 milligrams of caffeine in a, in a, a can. DIET Coke has 45. Pepsi has 37. Coke has 34. It says here Tab has 46. Is Tab still in existence?
Christy Lee
You have to really search for it.
Pat Godwin
Why would somebody drink.
Christy Lee
No, Right.
Josh Arnold
I don't mind it.
Tom Griswold
My aunt loves crazy. She had Tab and Kent cigarettes.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Good night.
Christy Lee
Right.
Pat Godwin
I think the aftertaste of the tab was harsher than the cigarettes.
Tom Griswold
I'm not sure which killed her.
Pat Godwin
Cup of coffee has 115 to 175 grams of milligrams of caffeine.
Tom Griswold
Oh, by the way, do you see they're coming out with real sugar Coke?
Christy Lee
Yeah, I did. That's a big deal.
Tom Griswold
It's a big deal.
Pat Godwin
I don't like it.
Christy Lee
Is it too, too sweet?
Pat Godwin
No, I just think it has a weird taste. I like the high fructose corn syrup.
Josh Arnold
Sure, I'm with you. I like it too.
Tom Griswold
A lot of people. I know, people back a few years ago would travel all the way across towns. They knew there was a place that had so called Mexican Coke.
Christy Lee
Yeah, the Mexican stores have it.
Pat Godwin
I thought that was a big deal. And then I tried it. I'm like, this isn't that good.
Christy Lee
Our producer does that.
Pat Godwin
2004, they partnered with Taco Bell to. To make their own version of Mountain Dew called Baja Blast.
Chick McGee
Do you guys remember this huge.
Christy Lee
My girls love it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And you can put alcohol in them, too.
Pat Godwin
Yes, that. Apparently, it really mixes well with alcohol.
Josh Arnold
Yes, as does Taco Bell.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I usually go the alcohol first.
Chick McGee
If they get White Castle Stuffed Burrito, you'd have something.
Tom Griswold
Are there. Are. Are there mixed drinks that commonly use regular Mountain Dew? Well, the way you. The way you've got a Jack and Coke. Is there some. No.
Josh Arnold
Do and doers never really took.
Derek Stroop
I was about to say, if I see you mixing alcohol with Mountain Dew, I'm going to assume you smoke inside.
Tom Griswold
That.
Derek Stroop
That's a wild combination. Baja Blast. I see that pivot, but just. Just Mountain Dew out of a 2 liter and then a splash of vodka. Okay. You got a tail light out, big dog.
Christy Lee
You know, Johnny Baker used to mix it with Jagermeister, didn't he?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, Donnie Baker did do that, man.
Christy Lee
Yeah, he did.
Chick McGee
Donnie.
Pat Godwin
Donnie liked Mountain Dew.
Derek Stroop
Mountain Dew and Jaeger is wild.
Pat Godwin
Yeah. That's what came first.
Tom Griswold
The song Mellow Yellow or the soft drink.
Chick McGee
I. I don't know the song.
Pat Godwin
I think this song, Mellow Yellow, was Coke. They've made a lot of attempts to try to take on Mountain Dew, and they just keep failing that surge. Mellow Yellow, they can't beat.
Derek Stroop
Well, Mellow Yellow made a decent run through Days of Thunder. Wasn't it the. The car in Days of Thunder?
Josh Arnold
That was the melody. Yellow car.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
Yeah. I mean, when I think of Mellow Yellow, I. I think about dramatic scenes from that movie.
Pat Godwin
Let me give you the most dramatic scene, man, that I think was my favorite, favorite scene was, Ooh, Cole, get.
Chick McGee
Out of that race car. Yeah.
Derek Stroop
Yes.
Chick McGee
That's cold.
Josh Arnold
Is that Duvall?
Pat Godwin
That's Duval.
Chick McGee
That's Duvall. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
We gotta say goodbye. Greg, always a great pleasure. And I'll point out you've got a whole bunch of dates coming up, beginning with Naples, sarasota, Charleston, S.C. then Greenville, S.C Carolina. Lots of others, including grand rapids, Toledo, Lexington, St. Louis, US. So we'll keep in touch with you and keep everybody informed as to where you're going to be and when. Okay.

Tom Griswold
Is that his power box behind him?
Chick McGee
They sparkle.
Christy Lee
That is your electrical box right there?
Chick McGee
Yeah. Where do you have yours, guys?
Pat Godwin
I don't know what it is. I'm not good at that kind of.
Chick McGee
Stuff, but don't touch it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, you want to throw some Mountain Dew on that, see if it sparks? Sorry, I'm live. That's probably. Kill him. Hang up the phone. I want to say Right now. This is fun.

I just never, you know, through her pregnancy and, and by the way, she's the most beautiful she's ever looked. It's true. I always heard that about, you know, you're being pregnant and she's glowing. But I never knew as a big guy how helpful I would be in her pregnancy because everything she's been through, I've already been through.
Chick McGee

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Top Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk.
Christy Lee
Hello. Check.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Tom. We have a special guest in the studio and on the TV screen, I believe.
Tom Griswold
And they're both Alabamians, by the way, from Huntsville, Alabama. We have the Very handsome Derek Stroop. And we have the gorgeous Leanne Morgan right behind that screen. Hi, Leanne. How are you?
Leanne Morgan
Hey, my darling. I wish I could say I'm from Huntsville, Alabama, but I'm not. Derek. Hello, sweet doll. Hi, y'.
Chick McGee
All.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Leanne.
Josh Arnold
Great seeing you.
Tom Griswold
Now, are you. Are you home?
Leanne Morgan
No, my darling. I'm never home. I'm in Columbus, Ohio. I'm doing their state fair.
Tom Griswold
All right. Okay. We're getting ready for another state fair. It's always great. Are you gonna try any of the typically very unhealthy fair food?
Leanne Morgan
I would love to. And they told me they've got a new chocolate funnel cake, which set me on fire, but I'm trying to fit my pants.
Chick McGee
You know?
Leanne Morgan
Cause of Hollywood.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you're Hollywood now, girl.
Tom Griswold
And this is interesting. I mean, you're working with. It's my understanding, anyway, you're working with Chuck Lorre, the producer of so many terrific shows. Great. What's the nature of this show gonna be? Can you tell us?
Leanne Morgan
Yes, my darling. And Chuck Lorre came up for this, and I kind of bucked it at first because it was just. It's not based on my real life. And now I realize that was the smartest thing he ever did because that would be weird. It is. He came up with the premise that I am a woman that's been married 30 something years, and her husband breaks up with her, leaves her on an email and goes after a younger woman. And now she. And she's got a grandbaby, she's got taken care of her elderly parents, she's got her sister, her children. And now she's got to figure out what in the world she's gonna do. And the reason why they did that one, they don't want it based on my real life because that would be weird. But they wanted the sensibility of my comedy and my standup special on Netflix. I'm every woman. And I talked about a good friend of mine who went through a terrible divorce, and he got that idea from that. That universal idea of everybody has to start over sometime because of something. It doesn't have to be divorced. And what does that look like?
Tom Griswold
What's the name of your character, may I ask?
Leanne Morgan
Leanne.
Tom Griswold
But it's not Leanne Morgan, though, is it?
Chick McGee
It?
Leanne Morgan
No, it is Leanne Murphy.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I found this out from our friend Rodney Carrington. He wanted to be Rodney Carrington on his TV show. And the guy said, well, if that's the case, everything you sell, we get the money because Lord, yeah. Do you have. Do you have merch? I know you're doing a bunch of shows. Are there like, Lee and Morgan T shirts?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Leanne Morgan
You know, with things on it that say things like, I was so cute in the 80s, you know, that kind of thing. I think they did put some things on there that's just say, Leanne.
Chick McGee
I think they did.
Leanne Morgan
I don't get to see it, y'.
Christy Lee
All.
Leanne Morgan
I'm out in the, you know, in the back. I don't get to see it.
Tom Griswold
They might give you a free one. You better ask them. Now, I want to make sure I got these dates right. Columbus, Ohio. That state Fair date is June 29th. Excuse me. July 29th. Sorry.
Leanne Morgan
Yeah. It's tomorrow night. What is today, y'?
Tom Griswold
All. That's tomorrow.
Leanne Morgan
Okay. Yes, I'm doing that.
Tom Griswold
July 31, San Jose. And then August 2, Bakersfield, at the Dignity Health Theater. Then way down the road, September 20, Peoria, Illinois. Leanne Morgan, when do you start filming the TV show?
Leanne Morgan
Honey, I've wrecked it. It comes out July 31st on Netflix. So please everybody and all of your 80 whatever, y'. All, I know y' all are the biggest and the best in the nation. Please, boys and girls out there, honey, binge. Watch that on July 31st. It comes out, y', all. Thursday. And I'm gonna get the shingles. I'm worried about my.
Josh Arnold
I hear it's great.
Leanne Morgan
I work so hard, and I've got the best cast, y'.
Tom Griswold
All.
Leanne Morgan
Blake Clark plays my dad.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Leanne Morgan
Celia Weston's my mom. Kristen Johnston, Emmy award winning actress, plays my sister.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's wonderful.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, that's awesome.
Leanne Morgan
Yeah. Ron Stiles is my husband.
Christy Lee
Trailer is amazing. I am as well.
Tom Griswold
Blake Clark was just our guest. I love Blake Clark.
Leanne Morgan
I love him.
Tom Griswold
And I've been on vacation for a week, so I'm not up to speed. So now I realize the new Netflix sitcom Leanne starts this Thursday.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Now I've got something to look forward to.
Leanne Morgan
I hope you like it, y'. All Run it. Tell people to run it in the background while they're cooking and vacuuming. Well, I. I want to do a second season, y'.
Tom Griswold
All.
Leanne Morgan
I really. I was scared to death. It almost killed me. But then it was so much to learn and do. But once I settled in, we did 16 episodes. I thought, oh, my gosh, this feels like home. I hope people love it, and I want to do it again.
Tom Griswold
Are you good at memorizing lines?
Leanne Morgan
I am now. They told me when I thought that I was going to get the shingles. When I moved out there, I lived in LA for seven months. And they said, we promise, Lynn, it's a muscle that you'll build. You will learn how to do this as weeks go on. And I was like, no, I won't. I was so panicked. And then they hired me a woman who just took care of me. And we went over that script every week. And I've never worked so hard in my life, but I. I built a muscle, and I learned how to. Because I was almost in every scene. I mean, there's very few episodes where I'm not in every scene. And so it was daunting. But I did. I learned how to do it and absorb it. And we shot on in front of a live audience on Friday night, Thursday, we shot what we couldn't shoot in front of an audience. And so. And, honey, every day they're changing it. We would rehearse, and then if that joke didn't work, they would come up and rewrite it. And I had Susan McMartin and Nick Bacai are my head writers and showrunner, and they did Mom, Two and a Half Man Bookie. I mean, they've done. They've been with Chuck Lorre for 30 years.
Christy Lee
Were you allowed to interject your own? Like, I have a suggestion for this joke or ad lib at all.
Leanne Morgan
A darling Christie.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Leanne Morgan
Because, you know, y'.
Chick McGee
All.
Leanne Morgan
You know how it is. Everybody stereotypes the South. And so they said, lynn, we are not from the South. We need you. So. And we need. You know, there's church scenes in there where I did Zumba in the basement. And so they didn't know how, you know, down to the potato salad, they go, leanne, is it mustard base or mayonnaise? So they had to consult me when I wasn't hysterical in a fashion. Fetal position.
Christy Lee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Oh, well, now, were you able to do any standup during that long siege of filming the great new show?
Leanne Morgan
I did, My Darling. I would go to Palm Springs. They tried to keep me, you know, around Southern California so it wouldn't wear me out. And on the weekend, on the weeks, the hiatus week, I would try to go home and see my family, or they would come out and see me because I've got two grandbabies, y', all, that are two and four, and I gotta have those babies.
Chick McGee
So.
Leanne Morgan
So they really tried to preserve my energy, but I had another Netflix special to get ready for. I just shot that, and now I'm touring on that until that drops in the fall. So, yeah, I Mean, they let me work on stage because I couldn't forget that, y'.
Chick McGee
All. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Once again, we're speaking with Leanne Morgan, a great comedian and about to become, I guess, kind of a TV star, working with Chuck Lorre, who's responsible for the only sitcom I've seen every episode of, which is Mike and Molly, which for my money, that's just stands up. It's so brilliant. And I'm sure when he's working with him is that's just the best. It's gotta be. Feel so great.
Leanne Morgan
Oh, y'.
Tom Griswold
All.
Leanne Morgan
Okay. And y'.
Chick McGee
All.
Leanne Morgan
I was on y' all show probably in 2004-2006 somewhere that with the Southern Fried chicks. And I don't know if y' all remember that. And Chrissy came out.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Leanne Morgan
And helped us do a show and introduce us. You dull. But I there. Since then, I've had four development deals for sitcoms, and they were pretty big deals with ABC and Matt Williams that created Roseanne and Home Improvement. But this, nothing went this quick, this fast than with Chuck Lori. The other ones, you know, didn't make it. Chuck Lore. When somebody says Chuck Lorre, they just go, okay, how many do you want to do? We went and pitched it to. To Netflix, and they basically bought it in the room and said, we'll do whatever y' all want to do. I've never seen anything like it. Because of him. Are you having pretty tickled with me?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Derek Stroop
I was about to say, and because of you, Leanne, and because of you.
Tom Griswold
And I can't believe you're. You've got two, as you put it, grandbabies. You look amazing.
Leanne Morgan
Oh, my.
Tom Griswold
Did you have. Did you have your. Did you have the mother of those children when you were 15?
Leanne Morgan
I think people in LA think that because when I had my first baby when I was 20, 27, and I married a man from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and I think people think that I squatted in a field at about 13 and had a baby, but I was 27. And he's the one that's married. I've got boy and two girls, and then he's got my two grandsons that are two and four. And then my baby child is 27. She is my professional makeup artist and is on set with me. And she now says she's my caregiver and she's kind of smart.
Chick McGee
Alex.
Tom Griswold
Whoever did your hair this morning did a wonderful job. You look tremendous.
Leanne Morgan
I did it well, honey. Oh, my gosh. I'm married to Chuck Morgan. But you are giving me a tingle. Thank you. I need to hear that. My love language is words of affirmation. And I do. I love me. And I tell people out in la, I go, I have loved men since I was in kindergarten.
Chick McGee
Let's.
Leanne Morgan
Let's celebrate men on this sitcom. You know, and we tried to.
Tom Griswold
To.
Leanne Morgan
We didn't make Ron Styles into a villain.
Josh Arnold
Okay, good.
Leanne Morgan
I hope y'.
Josh Arnold
All.
Leanne Morgan
I hope y' all like it.
Christy Lee
Oh, we'll love it.
Tom Griswold
Once again, it's on Netflix, which is great because everybody's got that. It's called Leanne, and you can't miss it. It starts this Thursday. I did not know that.
Chick McGee
This is.
Tom Griswold
I'm. I've got something to look forward to this week. And by the way, tomorrow night, what is Tuesday night? It's Columbus, Ohio, at the State Fair. San Jose. The 31st, August 2nd at Bakersfield, California, at the Dignity Health Theater. And then Peoria, September 20th. Well, Leanne, thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us. This is going to be a huge hit. I guarantee it. Yep. I can't wait to watch it.
Leanne Morgan
Oh, you don't. Thank y'.
Chick McGee
All.
Leanne Morgan
And thank you all for having me on. I'm always thrilled to get to be on here anytime.
Tom Griswold
You're always welcome to call. Okay, one last question. Did you grow up drinking Mountain Dew? That was the. That was. That was a feature on our show this morning.
Leanne Morgan
There was a spell. Have a little Mountain Dew. But I'm more of a diet coke, diet Dr. Pepper girl. But yeah. Let me say this really quick. I was raised in a town of 500 people. My family had one of the few businesses, and we had a Coca Cola machine. So we were a big deal.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's right.
Leanne Morgan
We were a big deal.
Chick McGee
For sure.
Tom Griswold
You are a big deal. I cannot wait to see your show. Once again, it's Leigh Ann. Netflix starts this Thursday day.

Derek Stroop
Yep.
Tom Griswold
You're gonna be speaking of the TV. You're on the Tonight show coming up August 6th. And you got some live dates coming up, including Birmingham, Alabama, where you're filming your new comedy special in October. Details. And all this stuff is coming up as we return to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This will still be the Bob and Tom show.
Derek Stroop

Tom Griswold
Bob and Tom Show.
Chick McGee
Here we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Chick McGee
Pat Godwin, Josh Arnold. Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
Ace Cosby. I'm Chick and Tom. We have a special guest.
Tom Griswold
We just learned about the weather from Derek Stroop.
Chick McGee
Hey. Hey.
Derek Stroop
How y' all doing?
Tom Griswold
Doing great. I, I just love your comedy. Derek is a born in West Virginia.
Derek Stroop
That's right.
Tom Griswold
Growed up, so to speak.
Chick McGee
You know, you said west, you said West Virginia.
Tom Griswold
I'm trying to, I know, get into character. I want him, I want him to like me. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Yeah.
Derek Stroop
I want him to like, I mean.
Tom Griswold
Derek is a great comedian. And this is unusual because you lived in Denver for a long time, but you grow up, you grew up in Huntsville, Alabama.
Derek Stroop
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But now you're living in New York City.
Derek Stroop
I live In New York City, it's. So having this accent and living in New York City is touch and go. Nobody believes that I live there. I mean, I told the guy at the bodega, I go, hey, man, I live here. And he was like, enjoy your visit. I mean, it's. It's tough, but I do like the city. I mean, it's the food that. That I really love, you know, I mean, living in Colorado for 10 years, I went a decade without a good meal. So really, it's nice. And New York has my kind of food. Like, I love sodium. I love salt. I do. Sometimes I'll buy baloney and just suck on it, man. I love. I. I love salt.
Chick McGee
And.
Derek Stroop
And New York's got that, so it's working out.
Tom Griswold
You know, I had a great bunch of great meals in Colorado last week. The Four Eagle Ranch, the rich.
Christy Lee
I mean, come on.
Derek Stroop
I still. I still don't buy it. Colorado, great people, great state. But it's what they're. Those people think mayonnaise is spicy, Bubba. I mean, they are. It's just that too many white people to have your food seasoned the way I enjoy it.
Tom Griswold
I went to a great taco place. Did you? Yeah, In Mintern, Colorado, which is sort of between Beaver Creek and Vale. So perhaps it's been touched. Oh, yeah. Touched by the white hand. But it was a great taco.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Josh, did you hear? Yes, Between Beaver Creek and Vale. My goodness.
Josh Arnold
Bathed in Caucasian goodness.
Chick McGee
My God. Subarus.
Derek Stroop
As far as you can see.
Chick McGee
That'S the way it should be done.
Tom Griswold
Where was I? Oh, I wanted to mention a couple things. Derek Stroup is going to be filming his comedy special In Birmingham, Alabama, October 4th. That's great. Yeah. Really excited about couple dates to get ready for it.
Derek Stroop
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Derek Stroop
Yep.
Tom Griswold
Well, I guess you got to be ready because you're doing the tonight show on August 6th.
Derek Stroop
Super excited about that. My second time. This will be my second appearance. So let me.
Tom Griswold
You ask you this. Yeah. The first time you did it, do you remember your very first line?
Derek Stroop
Yeah, I don't remember the first line of the set. No, but I remember, you know, you do five to seven minutes. And so it.
Tom Griswold
You.
Derek Stroop
It's a set that you can really get in the headlock, you can really lock down. But my last set was great. It was from a perspective of living in Alabama. I was talking about, you know, had. Carhartt had become popular, you know, because growing up in Alabama, I've been wearing Carhartt my whole life. You know, we never thought it was Cool. We never put it on in high school and thought the women are in trouble today. You know, just, you know, and that's kind of the, that was what the theme of, of that was, is kind of how hipsters made all my clothes popular. But yeah, yeah, I can remember that set well. I was really, I was really nervous, but at the same time I was so excited. The Tonight show, that five minute set, it's been going on since Johnny Carson. It's a such a, it's such a cool, unique thing that I've been watching since I was a kid. So it's one of my favorite things to do. I'm, I'm so excited to be back doing it again.
Tom Griswold
Fallon is such a nice guy.
Derek Stroop
He's the nicest. I mean, charisma overload.
Tom Griswold
Genuinely a nice person.
Derek Stroop
Super nice. Super nice guy. So it's always in that. Yeah, I enjoy being part of that show.
Tom Griswold
Speaking of plugs, I'll give you a couple more real quick. Grove Grove Comedy Club in Lowell, Arkansas. Coming up up August 1st and 2nd, the aforementioned Tonight show on August 6th. And then you're opening for a whole bunch of Nate Bargazzi shows.
Derek Stroop
Yep, yep. In August we'll be in Philadelphia, Boston, some really fun shows. Always lucky to go out with, with Nate. It's one of my favorites. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But I should mention this. September 26th and 27th, the funny bone in Des Moines, Iowa. And then once again, that filming of the comedy special, October 4th forth. Do you have it all down in your head? You know, where you're going? Pretty much.
Derek Stroop
I'm ready, man. The cake is baked. I'm so excited, especially going back to, to Birmingham, Alabama, you know, right in the middle of my home state. And the food there is lights out. That's what I'm thinking about. Yeah, Birmingham is definitely a food city.
Tom Griswold
For sure.
Derek Stroop
I think that's its strength, you know, I mean, they do film some of the first 48 there sometimes, but besides that, besides that, you can find some decent barbecue down there in Birmingham.
Chick McGee
You know, that's the Most important first 48 hours all as the leads go cold. All right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Are you, are you a sweet tea guy?
Derek Stroop
Oh, man, I love it.
Josh Arnold
Can you, can you still kind of not get an unsweetened tea in areas of the South?
Derek Stroop
No, no. I mean, no, that doesn't exist. You know, I was in Texas yesterday and they don't. It's not a sweet tea state. They were telling me it's an unsweetened sweet. Unsweet. And that just did not make any sense.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Derek Stroop
I mean Alabama growing up, I missed the sweet tea. You can't find. It's like hummingbird food in a cup. I mean it's so sweet I can feel my body slow down. You know, I really, I love that. I mean you. If you let it sit outside long enough, it'll turn into brittle, which is nice. But yeah, I love sweet tea, man.
Tom Griswold
What is the correspondence between places where they have legal cannabis and sweet tea? Do they. Is there any kind of those?
Derek Stroop
That diagram does not cross. Yeah, it does not cross.
Tom Griswold
I was just in Colorado. I've mentioned this a couple times on my vacation at a great time. But I although I personally and I don't my. I just am not a marijuana guy. But I did go to the marijuana shop, the dispensary to get something for one of my family members and I didn't. It was really funny. They sell these pre rolled joints and they come in like these paper test tube things. Really nice packaging and the whole deal. Now you lived in Colorado for quite some time. Yeah. And no judgment intended. Are you a fan of the, of the legal marijuana?
Derek Stroop
I mean it depends on, you know, if you're somewhere where it's legal then, then that's how I feel about it. If it's somewhere where it's illegal, then that, then that's how I feel about it. When Colorado, it wasn't even. It's not on your radar because it's like cigarettes there. It's like. So it's got to be the place where it's the most legal. I mean you could see, I mean you see doctors on street corners, I mean knocking down joints going my goodness, I didn't think we're going to pull that out, you know. And so just there. It's so part of the culture and how everything is. Yeah. I mean I take edibles to go to sleep at night. That's. That helps me go to bed. I mean I've tried, you know, melatonin but I needed its big brother brother, you know. And so I mean I don't dabble in them. I'm trying to exit the chat, you know, I'm trying to go to sleep and it's like Ambien. If you don't find shelter before that storm hits, you're gonna get caught in the rain. You need to be close to your bedroom. But yeah, I don't living out there, I mean you were around it but it wasn't something that, that I felt either either way about really.
Tom Griswold
Are you a cigarette Smoker?
Derek Stroop
No, I don't smoke anything. Yeah, I. The wildest I get, I take those gummies at night and, you know, I still believe in the space program, I guess you could say.
Tom Griswold
But yeah, I didn't see a lot of people smoking. I did get into a gondola to go up to the top of the mountain and apparently the person who'd been in it prior to my. I guess the person who either gone up or down and it had been smoking some pretty serious weed.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, yeah. I mean, you're gonna find that there for sure. Like, especially. I think it's part of the skiing. I don't ski, but I've always heard skiers and all that. I think they're burning down before they hit the slopes, you know, like. Which I guess is better than, you know, three shots of bourbon. That'd be, you know, I think that you'd be better off going the other way.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. I wouldn't want to do either because.
Christy Lee
I'd be in control.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, that's what I would take.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to say, say, that's a cool looking tree.
Chick McGee
Boom.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly.
Derek Stroop
Yeah. You'd have to think.
Tom Griswold
Well, we're speaking, by the way, with Derek Stroop. You can find out all the information at Derek Stroop comedy dot com.

Derek Stroop
Yeah, it's gonna be at the end of August here.
Chick McGee
Oh, wow.
Derek Stroop
September. Yeah, it's coming up. Yeah. I mean, it's moving fast. I mean, me and her, the dynamic is. Has changed. Like, Like, I'm usually a lot bigger than, than my wife. Like, if you see us coming, you go, man, he must be funny. And now I mean it because, like, I just got. I've gained 20 pounds during her pregnancy, which has been a wild ride.
Josh Arnold
The sympathy weight.
Derek Stroop
Yeah, I guess. But I had to draw the line recently. I go, listen, you. You're going to have the baby and you're not going to be like, you're Renting your property. I own this land. You know what I mean? That's what I'm trying to say. I mean, I, you know, I can't take a big dump and lose this thing. This is, you know, I, this is me now. This is the new me.
Christy Lee
Yeah, my kid's dad did that. He gained a lot of weight.
Derek Stroop
I mean, it's crazy. I'm gaining so much and it's not, I, I don't know. I mean, I'm. And I can't like, be like. Well, normally I'm eating salads, nothing's working out, but it's just, it's what time we're eating. You know, she. At midnight, she's like, I could go for some l mane. We live in New York City. If she wants low main at midnight, it's going to be there.
Tom Griswold

Derek Stroop
Yeah, I've got a flight to catch here.

Derek Stroop

Derek Stroop
Want to share something? Send us an email. Bob and tom@bobandtom.com this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Tom Griswold
Thank you.
Chick McGee
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk. Hi, Pat Godwin. Hi, Chick. There's Josh Harness, Ace Cosby. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
We don't have enough time to give. There's a couple stories we've got coming up that I'm so excited about, but I think we can do either of.
Chick McGee
Them have to do with a butt.
Tom Griswold
One of them. Well, that one. But that's, we have to save that for tomorrow. That's just too good. And I've got a good idea for a song for Pat.
Chick McGee
Is it about butts? Yes.
Christy Lee
But we should do this one because we've been talking about comedy all day. How about this? We'll wrap it up with this. The Mayo Clinic medical residents are taking improv classes to improve relationships with their patients. Workshops are being taught by improv comedy coach and Mayo Clinic artist in residence, Tain Danger. Huh?
Chick McGee
This is not a real. This sounds like an onion story.
Christy Lee
He uses improv theater techniques to help physicians be comfortable using human humor, curiosity and and empathy in their interactions with patients and each other.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Christy Lee
Dr. Chris Boswell, who oversees the doctors doing the improv training, told NPR News that the classes also help residents think on their feet in evolving situations and teach them how to adapt.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever do improv, John?
Josh Arnold
Oh, years. Yeah. For years.
Tom Griswold
The kind where you'd go, okay, I need someone from the audience.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I did that. And I did short form and long. Long form. Yeah. He was in the troop called.
Tom Griswold
No, but yeah.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
They weren't very successful.
Chick McGee
A lot of times those are that's my favorite thing about improv. Or the name of the groups.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. Some are quite similar.
Chick McGee
Fish, beer, mice or something that's one of my.
Josh Arnold
Oh, beer shark mice.
Chick McGee
Beer shark mice, yeah. That's a good one.
Tom Griswold
I saw a great outfit. I'm not kidding. They were called the Reification Company. They were just terrific. They, they're defunct now, but.
Josh Arnold
Cool.
Tom Griswold
I like that thing where they ask somebody. Like in this case, they're at the Mayo Clinic.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Name a disease, give us a disease.
Tom Griswold
Anybody in the audience have a kid? I need a kidney.
Chick McGee
But that's great.
Tom Griswold
I think a lot of outfits do that.
Christy Lee
We've all had a doctor that has no bedside manner.
Tom Griswold
Sure. But if this will help. But sometimes you want your doctor to be so into the. That thing that they're doing that he or she is too busy to joke around.
Christy Lee
Oh, there's that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Sometimes some of these.
Chick McGee
What is your, what is your ceiling? Your maximum age for a doctor that you'd like to have see you.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I don't care.
Chick McGee
You don't care?
Christy Lee
You don't have a minimum or a maximum?
Tom Griswold
Neither. I've got.
Chick McGee
I think a maximum would come into play. Yeah, like 90. You don't want a doctor who's 90.
Tom Griswold
Why not?
Josh Arnold
My new doctors are way too young. Young?
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Crazy young.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Well, I don't like it.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
Well, he's smart, but I don't like.
Christy Lee
But he's right out of school. He's got the latest knowledge.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
But you find him way too young.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he's young.
Josh Arnold
Was it like 55?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, actually 59.
Chick McGee
Smart ass.
Tom Griswold
You think? You think. Are you the patient that. Are you the patient after he do. Does whatever he has to do to you? As soon as you leave the office, he. He gets on the phone. You're not going to believe this.
Chick McGee
Well, I'm just going to say patient.
Josh Arnold
X. I am a big baby, I'll tell you that. You ask a lot of questions. I think it's important. Yeah, yeah. I always like a doctor that goes. Do you have any other questions? Do you have any more questions?
Chick McGee
I bet you do.
Josh Arnold
And that's great.
Chick McGee
I bet you think every now and then you think I could do this if I had that clipboard and the stuff know.
Tom Griswold
Did we.
Josh Arnold
I was pretty close to getting it to wanting. I mean that was like my plan C. Ah. Oh, I've talked about that before. How I took all those biology and anatomy classes in high school and college. Because I did. I was interested in getting into the.
Chick McGee
Medical field like a general country doctor.
Tom Griswold
I didn't plan plan C. So.
Derek Stroop
Trying.
Josh Arnold
To keep it straight. That's what yeah, that's what we called it.
Tom Griswold
I know. I was not paying attention over here. Do you think you made a wrong turn by going into entertainment?
Josh Arnold
No, no, I think I followed my heart.
Chick McGee
But I think this is a sitcom writes itself.
Josh Arnold
But I still.
Chick McGee
Josh Arnold, country doctor. I like that. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
But I still always. I like. I, I read a ton of that kind of stuff.
Chick McGee
You could try a comedic take on Pat Patch Adams. You could do that. Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Because boy, that.
Tom Griswold
There are a couple physicians that are. I hate that. Good. Stand up comics.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Who. Name six. Well, there's the Asian fella that was.
Josh Arnold
A Dr. Ken Young.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
From Jong. Is that what you.
Tom Griswold
Ken John. But I'm trying to think of the movie he was in.
Chick McGee
Hangover.
Tom Griswold
The Hangover. He's the guy that comes out of the back of the. The trunk of the car. Yeah. New. Yeah. And he's done a bunch of game shows.
Chick McGee
I'm an international criminal, though.
Christy Lee
There's one I met.
Chick McGee
Why I met my wife at one of these. They're going for the ransom meeting.
Tom Griswold
I'm. I can't remember if we did. I found this story and I. There's a name for this. I, I did we do the one about the last thing people ask a doctor when they go to visit.
Chick McGee
It was always their first concern.
Christy Lee
They always want painkillers.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's.
Christy Lee
Oh, my back. Oh, by the way, I found.
Tom Griswold
I finally found this article about it because I'd been talking.
Chick McGee
I think it's called oxy. Can you.
Tom Griswold
And I was asking my doctor about it a couple years ago and I was telling him that this friend of mine who's an orthopedic surgeon had. He used to have bets with his. The various nurses about whether or not they would do the thing. He would call it the halfway out the door phenomenon.
Chick McGee
The Columbia.
Tom Griswold
And it was. Exactly. And it was. And it was usually, you know. By the way. Yeah. Those painkillers. Yeah. What do they do there? And that was the joke because he knew they were going to ask him and whether or not they would wait till the. They could. They'd have a half hour consult, if that's what you call it. And then at the very last minute. So I asked my doctor about it recently, another guy, and he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's usually for. It's usually for Viagra or Cialis or for. Yeah. Massively effective painkillers. But anyway, I'll find this article. There's a name for that phenomenon, although the Colombo phenomena would be a great.
Christy Lee
I like that.
Tom Griswold
Terrific name name for it.
Chick McGee
Can I ask you a question? Just one. You know, the wife and I were sitting at home. I wanted to be really killed him.
Christy Lee
That's a good Colombo.
Chick McGee
Well, you know, an interesting show.
Josh Arnold
It wasn't who did it, but how.
Chick McGee
They showed you right away.
Josh Arnold
Well, you knew immediately.
Chick McGee
Yep. The fun was watching him solve it.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Now we can squeeze one more story in.
Christy Lee
Rock fans are petitioning Chipotle to honor Ozzy Osbourne with a signature burrito. Loudwire Magazine launched the Change.org petition following Ozzy's death. And apparently he has a self love for burritos. Burritos. I was not aware of that.
Chick McGee
I did not know either.
Christy Lee
In 2003, an episode of the reality show the Osbournes, Ozzy professed his love for Chipotle burritos, specifically admitting to eating two a day and declaring himself burrito man.
Josh Arnold
I am burrito man.
Chick McGee
Well, that was the kind of comedy you could rely on with the Osborne people confirmed.
Christy Lee
People magazine, that is confirmed that Aussie's admiration for. For the Chipotle burrito was so iconic that the company created the celebrity card for him. The program to reward celebrity customers who've been active for over 20 years now it's been an active program and as of Monday morning, Loudwire's petition had acquired over 4,000 signatures. So I guess if you're a big enough celebrity, you get free Chipotle for life. Is that the deal?
Tom Griswold
I am. That's would be kind of cool. You walk in and there's John Hammer having a burrito. But.
Chick McGee
Well, you'd have to have ham on it, I would think, wouldn't it?
Tom Griswold
Do you think that. I mean, will this go through? Are they. Could they do that without getting paying the family?
Chick McGee
Why not? No, just call it the Aussie. They can't. I don't think you can copyright Ozzy. O z y. I think it's a tough sell. That'd be a tough sell. I disagree.
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Chick McGee
Ozzy Osborne.
Tom Griswold
Of course, if you're referencing Ozzy Osborne.
Chick McGee
Though, I don't know. You're way close to a trademark.
Tom Griswold
I know, I'm just.
Chick McGee
It's a patent attorney.
Tom Griswold
Maybe they'd want.
Christy Lee
Well, maybe Sharon will give her approval on that.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm sure there's a fee involved.
Chick McGee
Give. Yeah, give Sharon a little taste, nobody gets hurt.
Tom Griswold
I'm surprised. I'm surprised it's not a pay per view funeral. What would they call? I'm trying to think of the. The. The Black Bean Sabbath. Yeah, that Would work. The Prince of Fartness. Oh.
Chick McGee
I think we're in the weeds.
Josh Arnold
We could speculate all day.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Or it would seem make it shape.
Tom Griswold
Make it shape like a bat and you could chomp the head off the top of it.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
This is just a way for Loudwire to get hashtags.
Chick McGee
Nobody cares if Chipotle, a comedian friend of ours has this car card and I can't remember what it is. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, has the Chipotle car.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they totally contact you when it happens, I guess, huh?
Christy Lee
Oh, and we'll wrap things up with the Fantastic Four. First steps. Number one at the box office, $118 million.
Chick McGee
I tell you this, I'm intrigued. My man Mark Gaddis is in Fantastic Four. I love him.
Christy Lee
Kind of intrigued by the trailer too. I'm like, big steps for Marvel though. They haven't had a big hit like that.
Chick McGee
They put out some chintzy Reeves movie they made in 94 with the forgotten fantastic forecast or something online and it was like.
Tom Griswold
And apparently this is no one you've.
Chick McGee
Ever heard of was in Fantastic, the.
Tom Griswold
Review that I heard they. This is the first one that doesn't reference the whole so called Marvel universe. It's self contained and family friendly.
Christy Lee
So I bet you'll see it with the kids.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. That's the whole point. Can you take a 12 year old?
Chick McGee
I don't care about family friendly.
Josh Arnold
Well, you're not too concerned with that.
Chick McGee
No, no, no. Well, even if you ever get take them to see Taxi Driver, show them stuff. Yes, yes.
Tom Griswold
Deer Hunter.
Chick McGee
Put Deer Hunter on. Yes.
Josh Arnold
I gotta learn.
Chick McGee
Wake up. Yeah, come on, wake up. Call. Hello, toddler.
Tom Griswold
It's a cruel world we are saying. Hey, thanks for joining us. From the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.
