[Christy Lee]

My mom and dad didn't drive this surprising.

[Bob Kevoian]

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, those.

[Tom Griswold]

Those were different.

[Bob Kevoian]

Those were the days.

[Christy Lee]

My mom worked days. My dad worked nights. So dad watched us while he was sleeping. So we got away with a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I'm sure. I'm just saying there's a.

[Christy Lee]

Did you ever. We go to the drugstore, sneak in and out of my pocket.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sneak. Sneak in and out of a bedroom window?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God, yes. Oh, hell yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I bet you didn't do that, did you? There. Shay Griswold and Northeast Ohio.

[Tom Griswold]

Sneak out a bedroom window.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I would have killed myself.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. It's probably three or four stories tall. You know, I would have had the upstairs. I would have had the upstairs made.

[Tom Griswold]

I wasn't in a trailer. I was.

[Christy Lee]

I was. Thank you. It was awesome. And the trailer hitch. My room was right above the trailer hitch.

[Bob Kevoian]

Good Lord. The trailer.

[Josh Arnold]

Now wait a second. Christie's telling a story. Please. I'll begin again at. My room was just above the trailer hitch.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Was at the front of the trailer. Had a little bow window.

[Tom Griswold]

Could you go.

[Christy Lee]

You could have a step.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Could you please. Perfect title. A chapter of your chapter of your book. Honestly, my room was just above the trailer. That is so poetic.

[Bob Kevoian]

If you fell out and hit your head on the trailer.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I was. I'd be in trouble. That would have hurt.

[Bob Kevoian]

You'd throw the trailer all off balance and everything.

[Josh Arnold]

But you did get lucky there. You could sneak out.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. It was easy to get out and the windows were pretty big. All you had to do is lift the screen up.

[Tom Griswold]

You know my story about. I was. I had a. I had a paper route which I know is pretty much non existent these days. Except I guess you got adults driving around in cars throwing papers occasionally out windows. But I had a regular paper route. I did almost my entire career starting at about third Grade.

[Bob Kevoian]

And Tom's the only one who refers to his third. His middle school years as my career.

[Christy Lee]

But you started working in third grade.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

What were you, 10?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I.

[Bob Kevoian]

You don't need the money, boy. You need the responsibility.

[Tom Griswold]

I did the Sun Press, the Cleveland Press, the Cleveland plane dealer. I delivered them all.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

In any event, did you stand on

[Bob Kevoian]

the Corner, get your PayPal?

[Christy Lee]

No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

House to house. Oh, get up early?

[Bob Kevoian]

Have one of those newsboy caps?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I didn't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

And.

[Tom Griswold]

But the story was. I remember delivering. I've told the story before. I still remember this young lady's name. You know what a pergola is? The like the wooden lattice like thing that. Okay, I was delivering the paper to the. I'm not going to say her name.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I, you know, he asked you. What? If you knew what a pergola was because your bedroom window was above the trailer.

[Christy Lee]

Right. We did not have a pergola. I will say that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Very few trailers do.

[Christy Lee]

No, you're right. We had a storage.

[Bob Kevoian]

In any event, I don't know how I missed living in a trailer.

[Tom Griswold]

I just delivered the paper and this guy jumps. You know, it's pitch black. This guy jumps in front of me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Please tell me he was bare ass naked.

[Tom Griswold]

And I knew him too. He. We both went to the same school. He had been servicing the aforementioned large breasted miss. And he climbed out her window.

[Christy Lee]

And you weren't in third grade this time?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

He was a classmate of yours and was she a teacher?

[Tom Griswold]

No, he was. She was a student too. And he was an identical twin. So to this day I don't know which one of the twins it was,

[Bob Kevoian]

but that's very funny.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's true. He was servicing the well breasted young lady. That was. But I mean, that takes courage. Going into someone's house while their parents. Yeah, she was a school night. But yeah, that was a. What an adventure. That was. Speaking of coming out of a window, then of course you've got the Allman Brothers song that. Remember, he has to get out the window to.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nope, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh no.

[Christy Lee]

Did your parents ever leave you by yourself?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, all the time.

[Christy Lee]

Over the weekend they would travel, just the two of them.

[Tom Griswold]

All the time.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Occasional party, my specialty was. Oh, we would make egg rolls and wonton soup. By hand.

[Bob Kevoian]

I made egg rolls by hand and they were delicious.

[Tom Griswold]

In high school. It's a great thing. It was really fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

Get the wok. Get The. You know, you can buy.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, wait. Did you go to a lot of high school parties where you made egg rolls?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did not.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And let me just say this. Those weren't the only things being rolled.

[Bob Kevoian]

I didn't. I didn't attend any high schools with the Kennedys either. Yeah, or that.

[Tom Griswold]

Damn. Christy, you would. If you would have enjoyed these parties. There.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sure you would enjoy these.

[Christy Lee]

Now he's saying I'm a Griswold's throwing a party.

[Josh Arnold]

It's Cantonese night.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I gotta get there, man. Be sure and bring your robe.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, of course, there was a little grocery store in this little mini Chinatown area and we'd get all the ingredients.

[Josh Arnold]

It was.

[Bob Kevoian]

Please, please tell me you were walking around at this party in, in, in a row, please.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, no, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, come on.

[Tom Griswold]

They were great fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

They were great fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I really can't go into any detail because much of it would be against the law. Now, coming up, I believe we're going to talk with.

[Christy Lee]

I had a party once. The trailer. One person came.

[Tom Griswold]

One person?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Male or female?

[Josh Arnold]

Have a two person party.

[Tom Griswold]

Male or female?

[Christy Lee]

Male. But he was somebody else. Girls,

[Bob Kevoian]

really.

[Christy Lee]

And he's still my friend to this day. Thank you, Mark.

[Bob Kevoian]

That could be sadder than any of my stories.

[Christy Lee]

That's why I have entertaining anxiety to this day.

[Bob Kevoian]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

So. So the chapter that is entitled. What is it? My window is right above the trailer

[Bob Kevoian]

ends with a. I threw a party and nobody came.

[Tom Griswold]

Your first. Your first gay friend?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. But I didn't know that at the time.

[Bob Kevoian]

No one came, including my day.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he know?

[Christy Lee]

Probably. But back then, you know, it was a different time.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure. He didn't let you know what was going on?

[Christy Lee]

No. He didn't like, hit on me or anything.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, nobody did that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nobody came out back? No.

[Tom Griswold]

It didn't give you a hint?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

When you talked him into touching your boob that one time, did he go, ew, Ew?

[Christy Lee]

I did not ask him to.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the old joy?

[Bob Kevoian]

My boobs taste like strawberry. It's lemon, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, coming up, a special tribute to Christie's childhood.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, we're going to talk with Mark Mothersbaugh, the great musician.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love him.

[Tom Griswold]

From Akron, Ohio, originally.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's a really, really good documentary about.

[Tom Griswold]

I saw the documentary.

[Christy Lee]

It was nominated for Grammy. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to talk with Mark. We'll see what he's got going on. Also, lots of things in the news, your letters, of course. You can reach us, Bob and Tom at bob and tom.com.

[Bob Kevoian]

it's not too late to get a letter in if you want to do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good. Right now it's just around the corner, Father's Day. And I've been getting a lot of mail about the aura frames. And it's a U R A. I am a huge fan of these. We've talked about them a lot. Great Mother's Day gift. Also a great Father's Day gift. What's it all about? Well, it's a electric frame and lots and lots of photographs and videos. Unlimited, to be precise. Videos and photos rotate through this thing. You load it yourself. The cool thing about it is, say your dad lives in a different state or whatever. You can get one of these for them and you can throw stuff on there whenever you want to and so can your brothers and sisters, et cetera, et cetera. So it's a great way to sort of spread family time with cool photographs and videos. Once again, it's called the aura frame. And there's a special way to get one. Right now you go to auraframes.com and I'll emphasize that it's a U R auraframes.com and for a limited time, Bob and Tom show listeners get 35 bucks off select frames if you use the code. Tom. So this is an all new offer. 35 bucks off. And it's more than just one option here. Auraframes.com, the promo code is Tom. If I had three arms, I'd give this a triple thumbs up. Now that's assuming that each one of my arms, including a third one, had a hand. Josh. Once again, Aura frames.com, promo code Tom Ford. Please support the Bob and Tom show by mentioning us if you happen to go there. This is a great gift. I fully endorse it. And as I've mentioned before, I have one of these. Soon as you walk into my house, there's one right over there on the left.

[Bob Kevoian]

I know two or three people got their moms and their grandparents and that that's their first stop. The mom and grandparents, every morning they check their aura frame.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's really fun.

[Bob Kevoian]

Any new pictures?

[Tom Griswold]

It's like it's, to put it into old fashioned terms, it's a slideshow that you can control from far away.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

And get. You'll get a good kick out of yours. Have as much fun with your camera phone as I do. It's really easy to load and if you know my ability with computers, you can imagine if I can do it. Yeah, if I can do it, your Chihuahua can probably do it. That's all I'm gonna say.

[Bob Kevoian]

one chapter is entitled what my, what was it? My window overlooks.

[Tom Griswold]

My window is over the trailer. Is over the trailer.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, that's so bedroom window above the trailer.

Welcome back to the Bob at Top Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And May is over. It's June 1st. Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. We say that for good luck. Hasn't worked yet, but we, we live in hope. There's Chrissy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello. Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick McGee. And to bring you up to speed, during the cruise commercial break there Tom was regaling us with stories of high school party at his house.

[Christy Lee]

Eight to ten of them.

[Bob Kevoian]

He said, yeah, and people be rolling. And I'm, I'm going, oh, doobies. And he goes, no, egg rolls. Yes, sir. Oh, it's great. Rolling. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Cabbage. We would have, we'd make egg rolls and wonton soup.

[Christy Lee]

When was the last time you were at a party and somebody made you work to eat your food?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, hey, we had. That's a great fun thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Were people standing in line waiting, waiting to have their egg rolls made or waiting in line to make an egg roll?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'd give them a square of the egg, roll it up.

[Josh Arnold]

Was there lying in the fried heavy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. How'd you cook them?

[Tom Griswold]

It was just pots of boiling oil.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

The fact that I didn't burn the house down is a miracle.

[Bob Kevoian]

You were kind of hoping for that. You were firebug there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And we had an electric cooktop. Fortunately, times have been better for me. I'm allowed to have a nice gas cooktop.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Cooking with Fire. Oh, sorry. Now, Christy mentioned.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I forget what the context was. We were. Oh, you asked me if I'd ever snuck out of my house out the window, and the answer is no. I lived in the second floor. I would have broken a leg trying to get down because I lived over a. It was a brick patio. Would have been very scary.

[Christy Lee]

Gone downstairs and snuck out the side door or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but that wasn't the question. The topic was if you've ever gone out of a window. And then you said you couldn't because

[Christy Lee]

I lived in a trailer in high school. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the. And how did you describe it?

[Christy Lee]

But I had the front bedroom. My mother had the back bedroom. So she was at the very end of the trailer.

[Tom Griswold]

So you could climb out the 70 footer too.

[Christy Lee]

So it was far.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's the big one.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. 14 by 70. Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not up to speed on that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we started at a 68. 12 by 68.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have the skirting around the bottom?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we did had the skirting.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a little porch?

[Christy Lee]

No, we had a little landing. There wasn't really a porch there, so.

[Tom Griswold]

But you could climb out the window and step on the trailer hitch, Is

[Christy Lee]

that what you're saying? Yeah. So it was easy to get in.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever do it?

[Christy Lee]

Hell yes, I did it. I'm just kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

These are all. I don't know. I didn't realize that you were that round. Heeled as a.

[Christy Lee]

You know, just because you're sneaking out doesn't mean you're having sex.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, let's define. Let's get. Let's define all of our terms.

[Bob Kevoian]

The point is over the waistband. Handy. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you discover you. The one time you had a party, the only guy that came was your gay friend who hadn't come out of the closet yet.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And you didn't know he was gay?

[Christy Lee]

I did not know.

[Tom Griswold]

Were you hoping you'd make a move?

[Christy Lee]

No, I didn't. You know, come. Ah, never mind. You know, I didn't spend my whole high school years wanting to get laid.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, because you weren't a boy. Okay, let's just.

[Christy Lee]

I fought the boys off.

[Bob Kevoian]

We're overlooking Josh's high school years. When did you ever sneak out of the house to go garaging, as you called it?

[Josh Arnold]

No, we did that. We didn't have to sneak out of the house to do that. Hey, we're going out and then that's what we would do.

[Tom Griswold]

Is your. Did you have your own bedroom?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, in my high school years. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that because somebody, the older moved out or.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, and they had converted the basement into bedrooms. It was an unfinished basement for years, and then they actually built some rooms.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

You have your own bathroom down there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's great.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Little shower, huh?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, see, you bring home.

[Tom Griswold]

So you couldn't. You couldn't jump out a window? You would have had.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I could have left the sliding glass doors, though. I had. My room had sliding glass doors that led out to the backyard.

[Christy Lee]

Nice. I made it even easier.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, well, I want to do a little tribute to your trailer life, Chris.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Trailer park woman never trailer park princess we had a lot of. We had the. The guy that was the maintenance man, he lived kind of behind us on the court. He had a nice big double wide. But he would throw the parties like really Nice parties.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that's cool.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he was really cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he date your mom?

[Christy Lee]

No, my mom was married.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why? But the question still stands. No.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just curious.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, time now for us to hit the mailbag, I believe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Bob and Top Show. Here we go. Pacifically, dear Chick and Christy and John. Oh, it's come to my attention. This is Bill from Dayton.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Bill.

[Bob Kevoian]

Come to my attention that your agitation, frustration and exasperation with Tom seems to peak at mid morning about day. Then it's simply necessary to hang on until the weekend comes. Speaking on behalf of millions of listeners, that timing fits us too.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Bob Kevoian]

Whether he's talking about the ridiculousness of soccer or the brilliance of Robert Fripp, it is a lot. He's talking on and on about black underwear visible through white linen pants or why cursive writing is useless. Yes, it is a lot. Whether the continual talk of rock and roll classic Enter the Young or the brilliance of the Beatles or Freddy and the Dreamers. Yes, Tom is a lot. Christie's My God. Tom keeps running through my brain as I'm listening. We share your feelings once again, Bill from.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you, Bill.

[Bob Kevoian]

There you go. Here we go.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from Michael in Kalamazoo. You can guess what this is about.

[Christy Lee]

Pat show.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he goes. A longtime listener, first time emailer. I just saw Pat Godwin at Shakespeare's in Kalamazoo Saturday night. An awesome show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

My wife has never listened to the Bob and Tom show. Had never listened to Pat Godwin, but she couldn't stop laughing. She's now a Pat Godwin fan. Well, thank you, Michael. Patty G. Not here today. He's prepping for his surgery tomorrow.

[Christy Lee]

You mean he's laying there in bed right now worrying about it?

[Tom Griswold]

I, I spoke to him twice yesterday.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah,

[Tom Griswold]

that's the great thing about, about cell phone technology. I was able to reach him on the ledge. He's a little nervous. I think he's having shoulder surgery tomorrow.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's a tough one to say, shoulder surgery.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it is. I, I, he's gonna be fine, but he won't be able to play guitar for a while. But he'll be back next week with probably with a guest guitarist.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know what, what it's going to take to convince him he's going to be fine.

[Christy Lee]

But you sure can't.

[Bob Kevoian]

None of us have hit on it yet.

[Tom Griswold]

So now we continue with our mailbag. You can reach us, Bob and tomobandtom.com.

[Bob Kevoian]

i think Chrissy has a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, go ahead, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Well, this is kind of on the same topic as Tom, I guess. This is from Bruce in Crozette, Virginia.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Never heard of Crozette, have you?

[Bob Kevoian]

Sounds like a decorative bow or something.

[Christy Lee]

That sounds very French. Yes, I listen to the show whenever I get a chance. Things in my life make me think I'm become a cast member, though. For example, I inherited a banjo from the death of a relative.

[Josh Arnold]

No kidding.

[Christy Lee]

I asked about tattoos of people around me all the time. I had open heart surgery in March of 2026 to replace a heart valve. Ended up with a mechanical valve.

[Bob Kevoian]

Nice.

[Christy Lee]

Listen to one of the 24 hour feeds of the show while I sleep and often dream that I'm a cast member. Oh, when we found out I needed heart surgery, my wife asked me, are you turning into Tom of the Bob and Tom Show? Feel free if you need a new cast member to give me a call. All right, Bruce. Thank you.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, Bruce, we have several people on call.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, we have a wait list, don't we?

[Bob Kevoian]

We will add you to the list.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom Show, I want to chime in on toothpaste gate.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ah, this happened. It started again. Lit a new fire with Bryce Harper, evidently. Went on tick tock and showed his. You what? He's what most people think a unique way to brush their teeth. They put toothpaste in their mouth and then here comes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's how I've always done it.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I've always done it that way.

[Tom Griswold]

Toothpaste straight to mouth, then.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Even as a kid, you did it that way?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, this is part of being an adult free man.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, mom.

[Bob Kevoian]

Grown ass man.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm doing it my way.

[Christy Lee]

You think you're free?

[Tom Griswold]

I did.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's no way to live, boy. Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

That's more profound than you think. I did talk to a dentist friend of mine over the weekend. Yeah, that makes absolutely no difference how you do it. Okay, so he's. He's on board with it.

[Bob Kevoian]

However, he's in the business of fixing on bad teeth. Of course, he's.

[Tom Griswold]

Nikki writes I am blind. Because remember I mentioned that, hey, if you're blind, this would save you that one step.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, that means she has super hearing and can play piano. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And I don't know if Nikki isn't here or she. It's N, I, C K, I, E.

[Bob Kevoian]

It sounds like a girl.

[Tom Griswold]

You think?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think. Is there a heart over the eye? That's the dead giveaway.

[Tom Griswold]

It's I Don't know. It's typed out. Can you. Can you get that? Can. Is there a type style that does that?

[Christy Lee]

I have no idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you get Helvetica Heart plus with a lowercase? I has a little heart above it. Isn't that sweet?

[Christy Lee]

That'd be cute.

[Tom Griswold]

I am blind. That I'm an instructor of home management for people who are newly blind or losing their vision. The tube. The toothpaste tube directly in the mouth is an alternative technique we do teach students. I have my own tube of toothpaste that I squirt directly into my mouth. I can guarantee you that I use much less toothpaste this way. Anyway. The alternative technique of while holding your toothbrush handle, you extend your index finger along the bristles. You would then line up the end of the toothpaste tube to the tip.

[Bob Kevoian]

You get it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So it's much too complicated.

[Christy Lee]

That makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

For individuals who are newly blind do not have a very good sense of touch or spatial relation due to their vision loss of other issues such as blah, blah, blah, blah. Squirting the toothpaste directly into your mouth is very independent way to complete the task. Very good. Special hello and kisses to Joshi. Thank you, Nikki. So there we go. It's settled. We're. We're okay doing it that way. Thank you. Bryce Harper, Baseball. Great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. Dear Bob and Tom show chick, it's late on a Sunday afternoon and I just finished my super Saturday Sunday shower. This is perfectly acceptable to have a super shower both days. That's absolutely fine. I'm so invigorated. I went straight to my email to let you know about it. I gotta hurry though. I need to check in with my bride to see if she wants any more of this before I put it away. So far I'm 04, but the super shower idea might turn the tide. Sean from Henrietta, Oklahoma. What do you think of that?

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like Sean didn't get get any action though.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it doesn't.

[Christy Lee]

They keep trying. You don't have to give up.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe there'll be a letter tomorrow. Maybe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Dear Tom, this one starts. I know, Tom. Your weekends are brutal. Was this weekend brutal?

[Tom Griswold]

Just a lot of picking up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Did you make it to Dairy Queen to get that dipped cone?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

All you did was talk about it last week.

[Christy Lee]

Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

[Tom Griswold]

I did make it to Dairy Queen.

[Bob Kevoian]

I had one a couple weeks ago. Delightful Sam from Shepherdsville, Kentucky.

[Tom Griswold]

And I had a car full of one of my daughters and her friends. I ended up getting. I was in the mood. I Got the chocolate dip, the vanilla ice cream, dipped in the chocolate, kicking it old school. Oh, it was great.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, the chocolate dip cone is like the New York Yankees uniform. It's timeless.

[Tom Griswold]

It was delightful.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And I, I. All I could remember, all I could think of rather was when the guy you. It's the same Dairy Queen. You go to Christy and every time you get, you know, the thing that they, they turn upside down.

[Christy Lee]

Blizzard.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, blizzards. And the girls and that. I think we got at least four of them and the guy would turn over each one. And all I could think of was that letter we got where the new Dairy Queen employee didn't realize that there were. That she had two of the cups put together.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So when she turned it over, that fell out of the.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But he. We did just fine. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I've got to try the cinnamon toast crunch Dairy Queen thing. I did not. I was in the mood for chocolate and that's what I had. It was delightful. Thank you very much, Dairy Queen. Coming up, more of your letters.

[Bob Kevoian]

Howdy do. There's Josh Arnold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick and hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Patty G. Taking the week off. He's having major surgery tomorrow on his guitar strumming hand. The right arm, right shoulder.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's never been a better time to learn how to play the guitar left handed.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it's the.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about that.

[Tom Griswold]

You use your left hand if you're, if you're typically a right handed person. You sure that's where all the fingering is. But the strumming is with the right hand and the some of the picking. But we'll see.

[Bob Kevoian]

You hear that, Christy? That's where all the fingering.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I heard him.

[Tom Griswold]

That's very nice. Now we were getting to your mail. Yes, and our mail too. And I don't know why this one's addressed to Josh, but it was handed to me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you mind if I read it?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

My teenage sons went kayaking with me and some friends. My 15 year old Oliver had to make a major transaction while on the river.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

He hopped out of the canoe to handle his business. Realizing his friends were coming up from behind him, he picked up the turd and heaved it onto the river bank.

[Bob Kevoian]

He picked up the turn.

[Tom Griswold]

I. Wow. Said, why didn't you just leave it in the water? He said he did it to be funny. Mike in North Carolina concludes we've scheduled the amputation of his right hand for next week. Why would you do that? I have no idea.

[Bob Kevoian]

No idea.

[Tom Griswold]

It's rough.

[Bob Kevoian]

So they could write a letter about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, you know, kayak is. What is that? A palindrome, Right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Same forward, same backward, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

There's many of them out there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom Show. I'm reading about your Molly Malone program, madam.

[Bob Kevoian]

My what? Our what? Oh, Molly Malone.

[Tom Griswold]

Molly Malone is the statue Dublin. There was a situation in. It was somewhere. I think in Italy. And the. The floor had some kind of tile mosaic and it had become popular among tourists to stomp on it. The groin area. And they were having to replace.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm sure it brings good luck or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the same thing is true of. There's a bunch of these things. There's the one with Lincoln.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hadn't heard that about Lincoln.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. What is it? You.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't.

[Tom Griswold]

Is you touch his nose or something?

[Christy Lee]

Or something. I don't think you can reach his nose.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think it's almost impossible to get up on Lincoln.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, not on. Not the Lincoln Memorial somewhere.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, what other statue of Lincoln is there? Another. Maybe Springfield, Illinois or something?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but this. There was. There's the Molly Malone in. Is it in Dublin? And we. We saw a photograph of it.

[Christy Lee]

It's very nice. Breasts.

[Tom Griswold]

Touch the breasts and they're so the. The bronze is faded there. Whatever. I wanted to write and educate you all on the importance of nipples.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, well, what does this have

[Christy Lee]

to do with it?

[Tom Griswold]

I've.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've been studying on my own. I like. I like a good nipple that sticks out. Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Kind of like a little. A pinky finger.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, did you say you could do without them? Was that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I like the boob part.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Our writer, Derek, concludes if there were no nipples, without nipples, boobs would be pointless.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, all right.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's a nice.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's. Would that be in Reader's Digest?

[Josh Arnold]

No, but it's of that mild humor. But it's a little too salty for Reader's Digest.

[Tom Griswold]

It's right there on the edge.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right, right.

[Christy Lee]

Speaking for some women, probably most. Don't neglect the Nipples.

[Josh Arnold]

Believe me, I do not.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I just like my favorite part of a breast is the boob part.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, I like. I found. I like my nipples tended to.

[Christy Lee]

Do you.

[Bob Kevoian]

If you will.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah. If you had 250 women, you'd. Without nipples, you'd have. The Indian nipple is 500.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Now, we are trying to coordinate that.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, now with that dumb joke I

[Bob Kevoian]

was going to say just. No, you can't deprive Readers Digest readers of that.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. This is from Kendra. Greetings. I've been a listener for several years and I've heard you mention my hometown.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Of Walla Walla, Washington on several occasions.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's one of Josh's favorite cities in the United States. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's all because of the vacuum salesman in the Looney Tunes cartoon. The cat is trying to steal the baby mouse. There are all these cats in the neighborhood trying. And one dresses up as a door to door vacuum sales. And he comes. I'm from Walla Walla, Washington. Yeah. To sample the vacuum. He sucks up the baby. But they soon catch up.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right, well, we'll. Thank you very much. And he leaves with the baby in the vacuum. Kendra writes,

[Tom Griswold]

Washington's oldest independent record store has been in Walla Walla, Washington for over 50 years. It's called Hot Poop.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they've sent us stuff. Yeah, they've sent us stickers and shirts.

[Tom Griswold]

The friendly, longtime owner sells a variety of merch from vinyls and CDs to locally made guitars. Oh, you guys should check it out sometime.

[Josh Arnold]

We have. And they've sent us stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Grab a glass of wine and pet the alpacas at the farm while you're at it.

[Josh Arnold]

Listen harder.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pay attention, you guys. I don't think Josh will remember this, but you remember how important Peaches record store was in our house.

[Josh Arnold]

I would go with my dad.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have the box?

[Josh Arnold]

We had a couple crates Peaches crate.

[Bob Kevoian]

I had the Peaches T shirt. Peaches baseball shirt. Oh, man. I. I got lost in peaches. I love that store.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know what happened.

[Josh Arnold]

It was amazing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they should bring it back. I'd work at a Peaches and they brought it back.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't there. Is there still one Blockbuster? Are we out completely?

[Christy Lee]

They were all gone.

[Bob Kevoian]

I thought there was one and I want to say Portland.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe there's.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if there's one peaches left. By the way, Kendra writes, I am a law enforcement officer in eastern Washington state.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very hot.

[Tom Griswold]

I would give anything to pull Tom over just for the unique experience.

[Bob Kevoian]

O Tom, now, what is your typical response when I'm guessing it's been so long since you've been pulled over, but you've been sneaking around, speeding. If I had to make a guess,

[Tom Griswold]

with that car of yours, I was pulled over. Let's see, a couple times in the last decade. One time for having my bright lights on.

[Bob Kevoian]

No way. Well, they can pull you over. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. They. It was. I think it's an excuse to do a breath check.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Frankly. And it was an area where it was completely valid. There's an area where there are no street lights for like, a mile. And then it. You emerge onto a car dealership area right out of nowhere. And so all of a sudden, you're. You're in, you know, cleeglight city. He pulled me over. And the other. The other time was.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did he recognize you immediately?

[Tom Griswold]

No, the other time I had rolled through a stop sign.

[Bob Kevoian]

I do that all the time.

[Tom Griswold]

And. And he. He pulled me over. He did recognize me. He goes, tom, could you at least try applying the brakes?

[Bob Kevoian]

I haven't stopped.

[Tom Griswold]

It's one of the ones in a neighborhood up here where there's never anyone there.

[Bob Kevoian]

I haven't stopped at a stop sign since 1981.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

It could be very helpful.

[Christy Lee]

That happens to be the last year that Peaches was in business.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And founded in 75, defunct in 81 nationwide. But there is still one store left. All right, do you know where it is?

[Bob Kevoian]

No. Columbus, Ohio.

[Christy Lee]

New Orleans.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

And I'm gonna question that. I distinctly remember going to Peaches, and I was older than three.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

What year does it take? Went defunct.

[Christy Lee]

It says 1981.

[Tom Griswold]

That doesn't sound right.

[Christy Lee]

That doesn't sound right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Josh is right. But there might be one left.

[Christy Lee]

Who knows? Yeah, there is one in New Orleans. I can show you that one. Oh, cool.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I'd love to go to New Orleans and check out Peaches. I've never been to New Orleans.

[Josh Arnold]

I wonder if the crates are worth anything. I think my brother Joe still has. Has them.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, there's one on sale on eBay for 86.50.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, well, that's a markup. Yeah, I would buy that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Be cool.

[Tom Griswold]

And the Peaches crates, for those of you not familiar with them, were designed so they would hold in a record album.

[Bob Kevoian]

And, you know, they were the right size. They have art deco crates now that you can order that. Very, very posh.

[Christy Lee]

Now, I did find out it apparently they filed for Chapter 11 in 1981, forcing some of their stores to close. But 2001 is when the corporation folded.

[Tom Griswold]

I still have the one store defunct in my office. I have. They're not peaches crates, but they look just like them for CDs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Cute.

[Bob Kevoian]

Very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Equally over. They're very. They're really cool. It's a great way to hold your CDs. It.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just ordered a couple CDs the other day.

[Tom Griswold]

Very excited.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's it. That's the spirit.

[Tom Griswold]

We're not going to give up. We have sporting news coming up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, we do.

[Tom Griswold]

More of your letters. You can reach us, Bob and [e-mail] we'd love to hear from you. We have crabs in the news. Oh, we have a very odd story about. Would you like to be paid to crank it? Thank you, Christina. Crank it.

[Bob Kevoian]

There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

That's it. What we have.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

More. More experimental. More experiments in the world of pizza.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wait a minute. What are they? What. What do they do with the affluence, if you will. You'll find that what they're buying.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

No. No. There's more to it than that. Pizza experimentation coming up. And a couple of cool world records. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Hello. Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pat Godwin on assignment. There's Josh Arnold. Hi. There's Ace cosby. I'm Chick McGee. We got the NBA Finals set. We got the NHL Stanley Cup Finals set. Details. But here's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Chick Maggie.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know my favorite record store is still open on over there in High street in Columbus, Ohio. Magnolia Thunder Pussy. They are open and continue to thrive. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

You mentioned this once before.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love that swell little Store right there. They call it the short North North

[Tom Griswold]

High Street Magnolia Thunder.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they have a logo?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh yeah, it's a little kitty cat with the headphones.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I get it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And T shirts etc.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh yes. I, I ordered up the T shirts before I mentioned it, so.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Assured to get one. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well it's nice. I'm glad there's still some record stores out there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just in one the other day. A lot of them are kind of a combination record store so called head shop.

[Bob Kevoian]

They have a record store day usually in April all across the country.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, that's cool. And cool posters like the Fi Zappa Crappa poster. I'm sure stalwart there. Let's check out the sporting scene. What have you got over there?

[Bob Kevoian]

The New York Knicks. When they. You remember this, Tom? They declined to hang that banner. They beat San Antonio earlier in the season to win the NBA cup. You remember this?

[Tom Griswold]

And the teams compete for the mid season thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

NBA cup. That's right. They didn't hang the banner then because they were waiting to celebrate something bigger. Well, they've got their wish. And by the way, that wait is 53 years long. Now they have the San Antonio spurs in the finals starting Wednesday in San Antonio. And you know who they get when they play the Spurs? Victor Wembanyama. That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Vicky. Vicky Wembley.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's. He's been called the best player in the world. Your thoughts, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

This is a generational talent.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a new phrase you keep hearing. He's the guy.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a favorite in this final?

[Bob Kevoian]

And oh by the way, the spurs beat the Knicks 27 years ago. Ah. In the finals to win the championship. New York has been without a title since the Willis Reed, Dave DeBusher, Dollar Bill Clyde. You know how Clyde Frazier got the nickname Clyde? He wore one of those big floppy hats and one of his teammates said, you look like that guy Bonnie and Clyde.

[Christy Lee]

Was it Clyde the Glide Clyde?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, that's Clyde Drexler.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I saw him walking the streets of New York one time all clyded up. Oh yeah. Huge sideburns, fur coat. Oh yeah, couldn't miss him.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that where you got your idea to grow your sideburns?

[Tom Griswold]

Exactly.

[Bob Kevoian]

From Clyde Frazier. He, he's just the time in New York, early 70s is Walt Frazier. Remember when they. And they traded for Earl Monroe and they had the dream backcourt.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

It's been a while.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, it's been a while for them.

[Tom Griswold]

Are You.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who are you rooting for here, boy? I don't know. It's hard to get. It's hard to root for the Knicks.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I don't know, I, I, I, I like six overtime games is what I'd like. And then a game seven, of course. They should just play one game, don't you think? Instead of a series.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like they do in the NFL or nothing.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

No. Yes. One game, I would say, says it all.

[Tom Griswold]

The season is too long, I'll give you that. But the playoffs, no, it's great. Seven's perfect.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, this one may go to the third week in June, man. And then you have your time off, of course, the off season in the NBA. And it starts up again in October. So they've got what, a couple months off?

[Tom Griswold]

What is the longest season? Nascar.

[Bob Kevoian]

I, yeah, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that the one that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Well, baseball season, that's six months. But NASCAR's. Yeah, 10 months or something. Right. Speaking of NASCAR, Denny Hamlin outraced Christopher Bell. There he is over the final four laps. Final restart last night to win the Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville. That's not any speedway. That's the Super Speedway. Hamlin won for the second time this year, 62nd of his career. Alex Pillow on the Detroit Graham pricks yesterday. And the NHL finals are set. Josh, Vegas at Carolina. The face off tomorrow night, 8 o' clock in Carolina.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So Vegas has got Carolina on their mind.

[Josh Arnold]

No Canadian team?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, yeah. None of the original six. Wow. They're all.

[Tom Griswold]

That is interesting, these Southern teams. I'm surprised the else does. The ice doesn't melt. What's going on?

[Bob Kevoian]

How do they keep the ice frozen?

[Josh Arnold]

Doesn't make any sense.

[Tom Griswold]

See?

[Bob Kevoian]

Don't you think they should just play one game for it all? No. Am I right on this? It's good enough for the NFL. Just one game.

[Christy Lee]

Don't give the NFL any ideas.

[Bob Kevoian]

Kaboom. What? Finland has won the Ice Hockey World Championship for the fifth time. Are you a Finland fan?

[Tom Griswold]

I haven't been following this one.

[Josh Arnold]

They're out now.

[Tom Griswold]

I've been busy.

[Josh Arnold]

That's enough. Finland. You can't play anymore.

[Bob Kevoian]

Finland has won the Ice Hockey World Championship the fifth time, beating Switzerland. One nothing. They call him the Swiss Miss.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's a pitcher's duel. Huh?

[Bob Kevoian]

11 nothing. The sabers Consta. Const. Comment? No, Consta. Helenius scored the goal. Boy, that's a. That means Clogged Volcano and Finnish gold winning goal with 10:42 into overtime. WNBA last night Vegas beat Golden State by 10. 91, 81. And in Indian. Oh, hang on just a second. Stupid world record. An Indian man has broken the Guinness world record for the largest collection of paper cups. Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. You weren't just whistling Dixie.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now that's in reader's side.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

What I, I. The first house that I ever bought.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The lady that owned it was a widow.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hope I know what you're doing

[Tom Griswold]

and I am not kidding. Let me think here. One, two. Yeah. And then another house that I bought years later had the same thing. What I'm talking about is attached to the tile.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. There was a Dixie cup. How do I describe it? Kind of a plastic sleeve kind of thing.

[Christy Lee]

You pull them out.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Yeah. And it had Dixie cups. And then a couple years. Not a couple, like five or six years later, I moved and that house had the same thing. I think they were both built in the 70s. Maybe my grandmother had them same.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe late 60s they were built, I think. But. Yeah, but it was. And the thing was built into the tile and. Yeah. And you put Dixie cups in.

[Bob Kevoian]

I was always under the impression that if I could ever have a Dixie cup dispenser, I would realize I'd made it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it did seem like that's what you did.

[Bob Kevoian]

Rich. That was a rich person's accessory to me.

[Tom Griswold]

And like I said, they had to have the, the one tile had the built in. I don't know how to describe it. Like a little clamping thing on it to hold the Dixie cups.

[Josh Arnold]

My grandma's Dixie cups had comics on them. Oh, you could spin it around and read like a little comic strip.

[Christy Lee]

I think they had all kinds of different options back in the day.

[Bob Kevoian]

You guys got all the cool toy. Did you have a Big Wheel when you were growing up?

[Josh Arnold]

We did, yeah. Until I think the tire got punctured. You know, the, whatever that plastic.

[Bob Kevoian]

Or wouldn't. Wouldn't go no more.

[Josh Arnold]

It would go, but it would

[Jess Hooker]

like

[Christy Lee]

a Fred Flintstone car.

[Josh Arnold]

And then it would tear apart. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So this guy's got the world record for the most Dixie cups or whatever.

[Bob Kevoian]

1557 year old Sunil Joseph earned the title. His collection of 858 cups. Are they all different from 31 different countries?

[Tom Griswold]

They were different. The Dixie cup warehouse.

[Josh Arnold]

You got a Costco membership, huh?

[Bob Kevoian]

I gotta go buy more cups. Somebody passed me.

[Tom Griswold]

Is, is Dixie still the go to in that?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think they're the workhorse of the industry.

[Tom Griswold]

Solo is the plastic cup.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I imagine Solo has a paper cup.

[Bob Kevoian]

Solo has got the beer pong. Right Venue. They got that locked up, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

But they're absolutely the red plastic.

[Tom Griswold]

But does Dixie still have the comics and flippy?

[Christy Lee]

I haven't bought a Dixie cup in a while.

[Tom Griswold]

But that used to be a thing when you would brush your teeth. It would be. You'd pull out your paper, I guess. Was that it? Was that a high gen hygiene thing? Sure was. This was leaving your. Now, in your bathroom, do you have a cup?

[Christy Lee]

No, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

You use your hand in your bathroom?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't. I. I have a cup that I take with me that I.

[Bob Kevoian]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, keep one in the bathroom?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, do you have a cup in your bathroom?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I take.

[Christy Lee]

I have a cup of rinse. I use a cup. I have a cup, but my glass was from the night before. Because I always have a glass on my nightstand and I take it in the bathroom.

[Tom Griswold]

You allow glass in your bathroom? You're gonna cut your feet.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh.

[Josh Arnold]

Careful cutting your feet.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Solo is responsible for the jazz paper cup. I did not know the blue wave with the purpley embellishment.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's called the jazz cup.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Look at this guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's the Indian guy with all the cups.

[Bob Kevoian]

850 up. 858 cups from 31 different countries. His cups range in size from 5ml to 500ml. They sure do.

[Josh Arnold]

You can see that the one in the end there is a KFC cup because it's got the K. Oh, yes, yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

You're exactly. Oh, he.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he was going to celebrate with Sam. He was going to celebrate with some champagne. But he doesn't want to waste one of his cups.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, he couldn't possibly. They make paper flutes.

[Christy Lee]

You don't like plastic flutes. I know that.

[Bob Kevoian]

You don't like champagne, Tom. Is that a champagne hater joke? What's that all about?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, the fact that he wouldn't want to use one of the 800 cups in his house.

[Christy Lee]

Where would you put all those?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I would look for a dumpster. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sure this.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, we should plan a caper. Break into his house and burn his cup.

[Josh Arnold]

I was gonna say, I bet he doesn't allow matches in his.

[Bob Kevoian]

I bet he doesn't. Well, they'd go up like Tinder.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, reach for an attainable dream, buddy. You got it right.

[Bob Kevoian]

The impossible.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, in those movies, somebody will have vases or china, right? And a person who's angry with them Will start breaking one at a time.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, please stop.

[Josh Arnold]

Or we're, we should do a sight gag with that where somebody's knocking him on the floor.

[Tom Griswold]

Just tink tank ting.

[Josh Arnold]

No breaking.

[Bob Kevoian]

No breaking. Just playing on the ground. No, no, no, please.

[Christy Lee]

I had those in an order.

[Tom Griswold]

Do the thing. You do a shot. Then you take the paper cup in your hand and crush it or crush it against your head.

[Bob Kevoian]

Coming up, another world record. And the name David Rush will come out of my mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's a good one. It, it's one he says he'll never try again. If somebody beats it, he will not go after it. It's that dangerous.

[Bob Kevoian]

And it, I will give him this. It does have a, an edge to it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, I'll say. Now, let's see. Coming up, we're going to talk with the great musician Mark Mothersbaugh. We are Devo and he's done a lot of, a lot of stuff beyond that. And there's a great documentary about the band Devo floating around out there. I saw it a couple years ago. Right now I want to talk to you about American Financing. What are they all about? Well, they're about maybe grabbing some cash, grabbing some of the equity in that house you live in without actually selling the house. With what's happening in the housing market, very unusual houses have gotten way, way more valuable. Suddenly in the last five years, the average house has gone up between 40 and 50%. In the last 10 years, most houses have doubled in value at least. It obviously depends on the circumstances. But American financing understands that 2026 requires a interesting strategy. That's why they have salary based mortgage consultants with mortgage rates in the fives. Their customers are saving an average of 800 bucks a month. By wiping out that high interest debt you might have on those credit cards, you could grab some of the cash, some of the equity in your house. Like I said, it's probably worth a lot more than it was five years ago. You don't have to sell it to take advantage of that. By the way, there are no upfront fees at American Financing. No pressure. And if you start today, you might end up being able to delay two mortgage payments. They've got a special thing going for that right now. Get the details at American financing. 866-888-926 11. That's 866-889-2611. A lot easier just to remember the website. Just go to americanfinancing.net and please tell them the Bob and Tom show sent you.

Get the parts of service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. There's Christy Lee at the news desk. Hi, There's Jess Hooker.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Joshua Arnold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Howdy.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm Chick McGee. Hello there, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. Ms. Hooker, you missed something. I want to bring you up to speed on this.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And Josh made a really great point that I just did. So some homework on. We had a dumb world record about some idiot that's collected paper cups, I guess.

[Jess Hooker]

Paper cups.

[Tom Griswold]

Paper cups.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

800. 858 of them.

[Tom Griswold]

But as Christy pointed out, they're different ones.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not just right. 800. That'd be pretty simple in any. I mean, I guess this prevents the guy from becoming a serial killer. Whatever. Whatever. It's kind of a time killer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that. What is that?

[Tom Griswold]

Who knows?

[Josh Arnold]

Do we have one?

[Jess Hooker]

We could send a paper cup with our. No, we don't have any more with logos.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, we used to have.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we could send them the new. The new Bob and Tom coffee stirrer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he'd snap it in half and send it back to us.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think. I don't think we should start sending. I think we should charge for these. Put them up on the website, dollar a piece.

[Tom Griswold]

No, come on. It might be worth printing some cups just to get in the collection. I'd be happy to pay for that,

[Jess Hooker]

I could throw a sticker on a cup and send it to him.

[Bob Kevoian]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

That wouldn't count. I think they have to be printed.

[Bob Kevoian]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

But it reminded me. First house that I ever bought. And it had a built in thing in the tile. I remember it was kind of a.

[Bob Kevoian]

It had a built in Dixie cup dispenser. Tom is under the impression that no one knows what a Dixie cup dispenser.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it was such a. It was of such an era.

[Jess Hooker]

In the bathroom.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sometimes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And in the kitchen.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. For the mouthwash and.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

So I. I did a little homework here. And it says, I asked, are they still around? And it says, not as common as once they were. In the 50s through the 80s, many people, it says, remember the little wall mounted Dixie cup dispensers next to the bathroom sink? They held small paper cups used for rinsing after brushing your teeth. They became popular because families believed disposable cups were more sanitary than having everyone share the same bathroom glass.

[Christy Lee]

True. Yeah, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean, you guess? Yeah, it's got to be.

[Jess Hooker]

The only place I see those is at the dentist office now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But then what's interesting to me is Josh mentioned this. I had forgotten about this. Dixie Cups did a. They had little comics characters on them.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

These have become highly collectible.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I bet so.

[Josh Arnold]

And I threw away hundreds.

[Tom Griswold]

Especially collectible are the Peanuts characters.

[Bob Kevoian]

I thought they had Peanuts characters.

[Tom Griswold]

Artwork from the Muppet Babies and in the early 90s, tiny toon adventures.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, wow.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It says if you're looking to purchase these, they are collectible.

[Bob Kevoian]

Muppet Babies was a big hit, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Huge.

[Josh Arnold]

Man, I love this.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding. It's great, huh? Fozzie Bear as a kid, but now in your bathroom.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't mean to dig into your personal life, but I assume you share our bathroom with your husband.

[Jess Hooker]

I do, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a cup of some sort in there?

[Jess Hooker]

I don't. I don't have a cup in my bathroom at all. If I make a cup out of my hand and I throw it in

[Tom Griswold]

my mouth, am I the only one that I have a cup?

[Jess Hooker]

We're on our way.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't think it's that rare.

[Jess Hooker]

No, no, it's not. But no, we don't have a plastic cupboard.

[Tom Griswold]

No one else touches it.

[Bob Kevoian]

When I was a kid, though, I thought, man, if I ever can afford to put a Dixie cup dispenser in my bathroom or my kitchen, oh, God forbid. Both. I will have made it by God.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the one in my first house. The reason I remember it was I had. I had the tile that was holding that dispenser was. It was there and it was really ugly.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So I took. I had to take the whole thing. Wall of tile off the half wall. I wonder if they. Do they even make them anymore?

[Jess Hooker]

I guess they could, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

God, I should install one of those.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that'll go over.

[Tom Griswold]

It'd be the last thing I do before I get kicked out of my own house.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now maybe you should listen to Josh. He's got some advice for you on that's. That's your house, I believe.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. There's not nearly enough of you yelling. If you don't like it, get out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

That's the whole reason you own a house. So you can tell other people that.

[Christy Lee]

Are those some really nice ones? Look at this. You can get like a. A fancy. Do you. Can you see that gold?

[Josh Arnold]

That looks really nice.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's like a. Oh, no, I

[Tom Griswold]

would still get throttle my own house.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they have actually, they have dispensers that you sit on the counter and you pull them out individually instead of hanging on the wall.

[Josh Arnold]

Not tacky.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's fine.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tasteful.

[Josh Arnold]

I would imagine environmental movements have one of the reasons those have gone away.

[Bob Kevoian]

Landfills are full of.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean, if they had had these in Africa, we wouldn't be having that Ebola outbreak, right? Isn't that how you get it?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, because they were sharing rinse glasses.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think. I think you'd still have Ebola running wild.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, I forgot.

[Tom Griswold]

It was my fault. Okay, well, should we do Bob and Tom paper cups?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes. I thought we had styrofoam cups. That's the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we did.

[Jess Hooker]

We used to have Styrofoam.

[Tom Griswold]

And those weren't actually Styrofoam. They were some kind of biodegradable Styrofoam.

[Josh Arnold]

Whatever makes you sleep better.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. No, dude, those were 100% Styrofoam.

[Bob Kevoian]

They have a half life of 500 years.

[Tom Griswold]

I specifically said at the meeting because we have all this place.

[Bob Kevoian]

You could say whatever the hell you want at the meeting.

[Tom Griswold]

We have all biodegradable. Like see these? These.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Cereal bowls. Biodegradable. See these spoons? And.

[Josh Arnold]

And they're really good.

[Jess Hooker]

They're really great.

[Josh Arnold]

Like, those are high quality biodegradable things. Yeah, because when they first started, they were not great.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Trash.

[Bob Kevoian]

Just trash.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Well, in any event, I'll we'll move forward here. Didn't we have two world records today?

[Bob Kevoian]

I believe we do. Huh. Stupid. Get a load of this.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a good one. This is a good one.

[Bob Kevoian]

David Rush has officially broken a deadly world record.

[Josh Arnold]

Deadly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Deadly. He has pledged to never attempt this world record ever again. It was so dangerous. The longest duration balancing a running chainsaw on his chin.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, first off, now we're getting somewhere, right? Second, I don't blame him for not wanting to do that again.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Bob Kevoian]

He opted to use an electric chainsaw instead of a gas powered chainsaw to prevent the jerky and unpredictable motions of a two stroke engine. But still. He said there were still numerous obstacles involved, including oil dripping from the blade onto his face, necessitating the use of safety goggles.

[Josh Arnold]

And it does have to have the chain.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. I had to keep the center of gravity just above my chin while the blade spun inches from my face.

[Josh Arnold]

That's awful.

[Jess Hooker]

How did he keep it engaged?

[Bob Kevoian]

The oil well, I think.

[Jess Hooker]

Can you lock it? Can you lock it in?

[Tom Griswold]

And I think instead of pulling the trigger.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't think you can.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe some do.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, there must be some way. That's wild because your finger will get tired.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a famous record. What was the guy held by no Nose Johnson?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

How long did he do this for?

[Tom Griswold]

Was it Roger no Nose Johnson?

[Josh Arnold]

He was.

[Tom Griswold]

I forget his first name. Yeah. This is insane.

[Bob Kevoian]

Butch and Sundance in their flat nose. Isn't that his nick?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

4 minutes and 1.44, Christie. Before letting it fall. That's enough to set the new record.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy. Letting it fall too. That's. You gotta back away.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, man. I reach up there and grab it.

[Josh Arnold]

I think I would do.

[Bob Kevoian]

He holds the most concurrent Guinness World Record titles. This reporter finds that statement in question. Why Attempted the. There's another guy. I keep telling you this and you keep ignoring me.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but he's no. The other guy has dumb records. Like how many cups he has.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but he has them. He has the records.

[Bob Kevoian]

He has the records for records.

[Tom Griswold]

Mr. Rush was just in London having that title certified.

[Josh Arnold]

You can deny the facts all you want.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you're telling me. The folks at Guinness in London.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Guinness would be in Dublin first off.

[Tom Griswold]

Off. Wherever the hell it is. Like it's on the other side of the ocean. I don't care. It's in Dublin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's where Guinness is. The main Guinness factory and headquarters.

[Tom Griswold]

Had no idea.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, did your dick ever go Dublin, Tom?

[Josh Arnold]

Did your what?

[Tom Griswold]

How am I supposed to Answer that.

[Christy Lee]

Well, just don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes or no?

[Jess Hooker]

Ignore him, Shannon.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love that joke. Benedict Hell. I think it broke. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Shannon, Airport. Never mind.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, you're picking up a cat.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, here we have a video, finally, of.

[Bob Kevoian]

Holy Jesus.

[Josh Arnold]

So he showed that it is indeed running.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh. And he's wearing the GoPro on his head.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's got. It's got the cord running to it. I would be concerned about tripping on the cord.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he's right not to want to do this again.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Man has children.

[Josh Arnold]

This is terrible.

[Jess Hooker]

His children are nearby also.

[Josh Arnold]

So many kids.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a whole bunch of kids watching.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

That's horrifying.

[Bob Kevoian]

20 kids watching him do this.

[Tom Griswold]

They're far away.

[Josh Arnold]

They were far away. But the distraction. I know. If my dad wanted to do this and my brothers and I were sitting there. You think we're not throwing rocks.

[Jess Hooker]

That's a real challenge.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think your dad. Your dad probably didn't have to do anything of that nature since he was in Vietnam in a combat unit for two tours of duty. I don't think he needed to do any thrill stuff after that, did he?

[Bob Kevoian]

No. No record.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes we'd sneak up behind him and pop a balloon just to see.

[Bob Kevoian]

Smack him in the face.

[Tom Griswold]

Mr. Rush wrote, Some records are simple, Some are hard, some are flat out terrifying.

[Josh Arnold]

That's horrifying.

[Christy Lee]

How would you practice that?

[Bob Kevoian]

Quotes to David Rush.

[Tom Griswold]

You practice it probably with one that isn't running.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's what I was gonna say, but you would have to have a feel for what it would be like.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought Guinness didn't allow anything that was. That could potentially dangerous like that.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you can get some moron that has too many beers and decides he's gonna try it and.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, those morons ruin everything.

[Tom Griswold]

Cuts off his head.

[Jess Hooker]

Can you balance anything on your chin?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I. Well, you know what? It's been a while.

[Jess Hooker]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

It's been a while. We're not including testicles.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't want to brag, but I balanced a couple things on my chin. Tom, you want to take this one?

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

A broom. I got. I got pretty good at.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

When you're an officer in a movie theater, there's some downtime.

[Jess Hooker]

Gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's hilarious.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think I could battle. It's a baseball bat. Ready?

[Jess Hooker]

Remember that time you gotta stand up?

[Christy Lee]

Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

Chick balances on his hand, almost hits Ms. Hooker in the face. Look.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. We're not Trusting you with that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I don't wanna. I. I don't wanna get sued again.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Jess Hooker]

You remember that time Chick got a concussion on the air?

[Josh Arnold]

No. How'd that happen?

[Jess Hooker]

Happen? I thought that was what was gonna happen.

[Tom Griswold]

Show her how it happened.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hit Jess with a bat. Yeah, I get you. Word. Word play. That's where you had me.

[Christy Lee]

We have a potential world record. Malort.

[Tom Griswold]

Can we do it when we come back?

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

May we?

[Jess Hooker]

Malort. I love Malort.

[Tom Griswold]

You do?

[Christy Lee]

Is it Malort or Malort?

[Jess Hooker]

It's Malort.

[Tom Griswold]

This says it's Malort.

[Jess Hooker]

Anybody from Chicago calls it Malort.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they're wrong.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is it what? Can you describe what it tastes like

[Tom Griswold]

when we get back?

[Jess Hooker]

I have a good description.

[Tom Griswold]

The essence of brewery.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, It's. It's apparently absolutely awful.

[Josh Arnold]

Ever hear Matt the comedian Matt Bronger's description of what Jagermeister tastes like? He said Jagermeister tastes like Robocop. It's kind of metallic

[Bob Kevoian]

with a hint of licorice. Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, after we do, we can do the story today, but is this something you can go buy at the liquor store?

[Jess Hooker]

I assume we might be able to order it and have it delivered before the show's over.

[Josh Arnold]

It's got a fun. It's fun to say. Isn't it a Malort. Wait a minute.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's the sound it makes when you rip it into Malort or Malort.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't care what you're going to. Are you telling me that there are places that deliver booze at this hour of the morning?

[Jess Hooker]

7:00 a'? Clock? Yeah, buddy.

[Bob Kevoian]

We can get whatever we need after 7:00am I. I know that from personal experience. There's no need to go any deeper into that comment.

[Tom Griswold]

Hal's desperate alky store CVS won't sell

[Bob Kevoian]

it to you before 7. I think that is part of my constitutional right. What the hell? I'm here, the rum's here.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Chrissy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Howdy, Chick there.

[Bob Kevoian]

Howdy. There's Jess Hooker.

[Jess Hooker]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi. There's Ace Cosby. Hello. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Bob Kevoian]

How goes it, buddy? Good.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm excited. The summer is here in my mind officially.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know when the official date is, but come on. You kidding me?

[Bob Kevoian]

June 20th, 20th or 21st.

[Josh Arnold]

That's always seemed to be.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

After Memorial Day, summer camps are about to start, and then in two weeks, school gets back in session. Oh, just kidding.

[Bob Kevoian]

You ever sing that song? Some. Some Summertime. Summertime.

[Josh Arnold]

I like that one.

[Tom Griswold]

Summer There a bunch of great summer songs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Summertime,

[Josh Arnold]

Mungo Jerry in the Summertime. That's my. That might be my favorite.

[Bob Kevoian]

My favorite part of that song is when he goes

[Tom Griswold]

in the summertime. When the weather is.

[Josh Arnold]

Ain't no cure for the summertime blues.

[Tom Griswold]

Ye like the Blue Cheer version of that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good one. The Beach Boys all summer long. I love that song.

[Josh Arnold]

We now Summer wind came blowing in.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Josh Arnold]

From across the sea.

[Bob Kevoian]

Make yourself at home. Frank. Hit somebody.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, now we have a discussion. We're set up to talk about a disgusting tasting beverage. Is that the deal here?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, sounds like it.

[Christy Lee]

Malort is a Basque liqueur. Is it Besque or Basque? Got me famous to the Chicago area known for its bitter taste. Milord aiming to set the world record for the most people doing a shot at the same time of Malort. Has to be a shot of Malort, not a shot of vodka or something, right? The event, titled Bad Decisions for Good Cause, is scheduled for August 30th at recess in Chicago. The attempt will raise money for Ravenswood Community Services, a local nonprofit that supports those facing homelessness in the city. Little Philip Andre, a sommelier for Ground Crew, described it as such. Quote, you could use it to start a car or a machine or embalm someone if you needed to.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's drink.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

For the homeless, there's.

[Jess Hooker]

You can get. You can get.

[Christy Lee]

Kind of ironic, isn't it?

[Jess Hooker]

You can get an old style and a shot of Malort, and that's called the Chicago Handshake.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's fun.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you had one?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You said you liked them.

[Jess Hooker]

I like. I like Malort because it's like. It's like almost like a digestive bitters.

[Bob Kevoian]

It.

[Jess Hooker]

It tastes medicinal. It tastes like an old hippie lady. Smells like. It's like.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, it's all right.

[Jess Hooker]

What's the main thing in there? I think is wormwood, which is like, really medicinal.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

So I hear it pairs well with chicken liver.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, don't you say nothing bad.

[Tom Griswold]

Chick and I are both on board. I love chicken.

[Bob Kevoian]

Chicken.

[Jess Hooker]

I love chicken liver too.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a huge fan. The smell when it's cooking, not so much.

[Jess Hooker]

Pretty gamey.

[Tom Griswold]

There is a little earthy. There's a bunch of interesting stuff about Malort. For example, the Malort liquor company made their own hand sanitizer.

[Bob Kevoian]

Didn't a vodka company do that?

[Christy Lee]

A lot of people during COVID During

[Tom Griswold]

COVID a lot of liquor distillers made a hand sanitize.

[Christy Lee]

So this is a Swedish base schnapps. It's a. Apparently from Sweden.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you say a Swedish schnapps?

[Tom Griswold]

Swedish schnapps, yeah. But it's. It's extremely popular in Chicago, as you said, the Chicago handshake. There are a lot of funny descriptions of what it tastes like now. When. When is the record? I'm sorry, I wasn't.

[Christy Lee]

August 30th.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so we could get Willie on the ground for this.

[Jess Hooker]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Willie.

[Jess Hooker]

I know. He's had it for sure.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This says this. Here we go. This says Malord is a famously bitter wormwood based liqueur, as you said. Originating in Sweden, it's iconic on the Chicago cultural landscape. It's known for its polarizing, abrasive flavor. Most frequently consumed as a dare or a rite of passage, often resulting in a severely twisted facial expression that is called Malort face.

[Jess Hooker]

That's a big one that you give someone on their 21st. Like, hey, I'm gonna buy you a shot. And you get them the worst shot like that. Or a three Wiseman or something. Something, you know, that'll just.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there an aftertaste or do you. Oh, yeah, you just throw it down.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, yeah. You're tasting it for a couple of days.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you just throw it down.

[Jess Hooker]

You just throw it down. Throw it back.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

There was a Malort 5K in Chicago, and the winner got a shot of Malort and the loser got two shots.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Okay, well, we'll. We'll see how they do with the world record.

[Jess Hooker]

Is anybody down for trying it?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, if we get some. I'LL try it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. I'll try, too.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

If I just take a sip, will it be. Oh, you could.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, you could just. You could touch it to your tongue and you would get the full experience.

[Bob Kevoian]

Don't your daughters. They had it or.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

They both live in Chicago. They haven't brought it up. I could ask.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. See what. See what's what?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I'm sure they probably have.

[Jess Hooker]

If you've ever heard of Fernet, that's the Italian version of it. Again, it's to meant you drink it, like, after food, and it helps with digestion and stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Fernet.

[Jess Hooker]

Fernet.

[Josh Arnold]

People swear by bitters, man.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it's a game changer.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This headline is. Is Malort the worst tasting liquor? And then this one says infamously horrible. So. Okay, we'll give it a shot. What else you got, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Well, if you think that's bad, would you try Feet Juice?

[Josh Arnold]

Feet Juice.

[Christy Lee]

A pair of cosplayers are going viral for selling feet juice outside of an anime con that.

[Tom Griswold]

That works.

[Christy Lee]

Images shared online show two women in costume holding signs that read Fresh Feet Juice while sitting above coolers and dunking their feet into a mysterious red liquid. A swig of feet juice allegedly cost $5 while licking the juice directly off their feet cost 10 to 15.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think that's a bargain.

[Josh Arnold]

10 to 15, it's like market price.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Fresh.

[Jess Hooker]

Depends on the guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Video also shows a man with his mouth open while a woman puts her stocking toes onto his lips and pours a shot of alcohol over her foot and into his mouth.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, so Salma Hayek style from Dusk till Dawn, where Quentino clearly wrote that scene for himself.

[Bob Kevoian]

Who directed this? Quentin?

[Christy Lee]

The viral incident appears to have taken place at an unofficial event at fanimecon in San Jose.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet they're making some money.

[Christy Lee]

According to comments from fans who said they were there, the drink sold out in less than an hour.

[Josh Arnold]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, there's a photograph.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, they're loving it, aren't they?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my goodness.

[Josh Arnold]

They're really.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. You know what? I think the girl on the left, that's her real hair, I think. Absolutely, absolutely. Oh, I.

[Tom Griswold]

They're dressed like anime. I get it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

How about that?

[Jess Hooker]

Look at the guy. Look at the guy in the background on the left.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he seems bummed out. Yeah, he's like.

[Jess Hooker]

Like, grossed out.

[Bob Kevoian]

That looks kind of like Jack White, doesn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

This is one of those things where if it's not your thing Whatever. But if it's your thing, you're paying.

[Christy Lee]

They must have cleaned up.

[Tom Griswold]

I know there's a Comic Con coming. Maybe we could. Do you want to do Josh Juice?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Sit out front with a sign?

[Bob Kevoian]

Not at all.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Do you think if they weren't attractive young ladies, it would still be popular?

[Josh Arnold]

Probably.

[Jess Hooker]

I think that would be in a different audience. There would be a different audience for the way the women look.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Chance sales will go up.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

There's a woman that make is making a ton of money right now, and she's just recording her boyfriend sticking Doritos between each of her toes.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't that something?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it was. It was like she made $5,000 in, like, one sitting. Just him sticking the Doritos again.

[Josh Arnold]

Because if that's a guy's thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

He's going to pay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's going to find it and he's going to.

[Jess Hooker]

People are just watching him do it. That's all they're doing.

[Tom Griswold]

So this is a video you pay to watch?

[Jess Hooker]

Yes. It didn't look like it was only fans, but she has her feet up on his lap. She's got her camera. So it's a POV of him sticking the Doritos between her toes then.

[Tom Griswold]

Does he eat the Doritos?

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Jess Hooker]

No, he did not eat the Doritos.

[Christy Lee]

Does he keep putting Doritos or.

[Jess Hooker]

No, he keeps, like. Yes. Stacking them up as many as he can get between each toe. So her toes are all spread out.

[Josh Arnold]

Weird.

[Tom Griswold]

How does. How do they. How did the person who's into this find it?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you advertise that you find it?

[Bob Kevoian]

Whatever you're into, you have a way of finding that.

[Josh Arnold]

But what is it? How do you learn that? That's your thing. That's not feet, but. But having snacks or whatever put in between the toes.

[Christy Lee]

I have a feeling. How did she know that that would be money making?

[Jess Hooker]

I have a feeling that she did it as a joke. Like, she posted on social media. Like, look what my boyfriend did. We were sitting here eating snacks, and

[Josh Arnold]

then people are like, wait a second.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Jess Hooker]

I think that's because it was. They don't seem like the type of couple that are doing this on a

[Josh Arnold]

regular basis, but now they get to go to Disney World because they.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But your question is valid, Josh. How does one find that if you've got a really peculiar fetish.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What. What happened where you went?

[Tom Griswold]

You suddenly get triggered and go, oh, that's what I need to do.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right. When it's that peculiar.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Because foot fetish is common and I don't. I wouldn't say I have a foot fetish, but I appreciate the foot.

[Jess Hooker]

That's how I feel.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you feel about a non dominant hand? Handy.

[Josh Arnold]

The clumsiness can work.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Jess Hooker]

So you're saying by yourself or by someone else?

[Bob Kevoian]

If you're right.

[Tom Griswold]

By someone else dressed in an anime suit.

[Josh Arnold]

Because there's a lot of like, stutter starts and that can get things.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. That just adds to the drama.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you suppose. Must be. It must be kind of interesting if you're a psychiatrist. And I wonder if. If you're a psychiatrist and someone comes in with some very peculiar thing and after they leave your office, do you immediately pick up your phone and call one of your buddies from medical school?

[Bob Kevoian]

God, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Bill, you're not gonna believe this one.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, you would hope not.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you. Are you sitting down?

[Bob Kevoian]

I'll take it a step.

[Tom Griswold]

I've got to write this one up for the journal.

[Bob Kevoian]

I bet you there are five or six or probably more of therapists who call each other. Well, you'll never guess what I had today. As long as they don't mention names, I think it's. Yeah, kind of okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, sure.

[Josh Arnold]

So long as it's a healthy outlet for them too.

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely.

[Josh Arnold]

But I bet a therapist would go, hey, this is your fetish. Don't worry about why.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

Just worry about how you control it or how you.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, everybody's safe. Everybody's okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like Tom's turned on by much older women because he crawled around on the floor when his mom held bridge club and looked up his mom's friend's dress.

[Tom Griswold]

That's interesting.

[Bob Kevoian]

I just made that up all out of my head. Okay, coming up, Geraldine.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have more truths.

[Bob Kevoian]

Bertha Butts.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a couple of interesting food things coming up, including Mac and cheese plus and pizza news, of course. Two different roller coaster stories, one of them terrifying and a funny story in the world of politics in another country that I think you'll find quite fascinating. And a. And an update on unusual.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

She's at the news desk. There's Jess Hooker.

[Jess Hooker]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, there.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's liking something he sees on his telephone.

[Josh Arnold]

I am.

[Bob Kevoian]

Boy, that. That sounded odd when I said telephone.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it did.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. Do you have your telephone with you?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, you're right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Telephone.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't ever hear that word anymore.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, it's like aeroplane. You don't really.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not an eye. Telephone. Phone.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's an iPhone. IPhone.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, I never thought about that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Where's my telephone?

[Christy Lee]

Anybody have a telephone?

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, no, but there's this new thing. It's a. It's a case that you put on the wall, and it says, I'm turning my phone into a home phone. And you just. Oh, you just set it on the wall. And I'm like, give me a break.

[Bob Kevoian]

Probably a charger or something.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, maybe.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

But it's just a little, like, spot for your phone.

[Bob Kevoian]

What are the stats as far as having a wired home landline?

[Tom Griswold]

Give me a few minutes, I'll find out.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know why at Christmas time they were getting their kids landlines. Like, this is what we got our kids landlines with other friends so that they could talk to their friends.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, everything. That's fun. Everything comes back to a degree. You've got vinyl records. There was a big cassette boom after Guardians of the Galaxy. Everything kind of. What didn't. Isn't there another. There's a video store somewhere that's back.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, like a blockbuster.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But. Yeah, I don't know about having a home phone.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, just.

[Tom Griswold]

When you answered the phone back in the day, did you. What was the. How did you pick it up? What did you say?

[Jess Hooker]

Prosser residence.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. That was your maiden name, that.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that's what my dad had to say.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're in high school, they called you prostitute. Is that what it was?

[Jess Hooker]

Prostitute?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, Prostitute. Okay.

[Jess Hooker]

Although that was a nickname.

[Bob Kevoian]

I like Prostitut. That sounds like a new breakfast.

[Tom Griswold]

I couldn't remember your joke about it.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it's. Yeah, I. Yeah, I stayed with a theme. I married a hooker after that, so.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Good, good. Very good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And did you say McGee residence when you answered? Chick.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Anticipating. Anticipating this career.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know, I, I put up with a lot of, you know, problems being ostracized because we were Irish or Scottish,

[Tom Griswold]

I forget which fake name. Josh, was there a. Any protocols involving the phone at your place? When you were a kid, you had all those brothers and everybody running around just hello. Oh, really? Just hello?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, hello.

[Christy Lee]

We said hello. What did you say?

[Tom Griswold]

Griswold residence, Tom speaking.

[Christy Lee]

You had to said that, right?

[Bob Kevoian]

Did you say.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, let me do. I'll do. Exactly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, this is, this is, this is,

[Tom Griswold]

this is 16 year old Tom.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay. Griswold residence, Top speaking.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, not really necessary.

[Jess Hooker]

Did you guys only have one phone in the house? Like one central location? Yeah, we did for the longest time. And then we had like a cord. And then we got cordless phones, obviously. But when we the. It was in the kitchen, right? At like a little desk. Desk. And that's where you would talk on the phone. And there was a 20 minute limit when I was in middle school and I was on the phone with this, this boy named Brian that I really liked. He wanted me to be his girlfriend. And at the end of the conversation he said, I love you. And I go, I love you too. And my dad was right behind me and clicked the receiver or no, he grabbed the phone out of my hand and he goes, you don't love anyone. And he hung up the phone. So embarrassing. Yes. Yeah, so I, I never.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow. Yeah, I love you too.

[Jess Hooker]

I was, I was what, 13 or 14? Like in fairness.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

You don't love anyone. Yeah. So.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, here we go. Chick. As you request that according to these stats, current estimates, about 79% of adults live in wireless only households. No landline.

[Bob Kevoian]

You remember the campaign? It must have been the bell coming. Don't under phone your home or something like that. They were trying to get more than one phone hooked up in your house.

[Christy Lee]

I can remember getting a phone in your room was a big ass deal

[Jess Hooker]

that was like a birthday gift.

[Tom Griswold]

I can remember that. I hated those phones that you'd pick up and the dial or keypad was on the princess.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, it's called the princess.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why did you hate them?

[Tom Griswold]

I. They weren't. They were uncomfortable to hold. Hated them. I can remember.

[Bob Kevoian]

I remember you like the newsroom phone, didn't you? Like Woodward and Bernstein?

[Tom Griswold]

I like the kind where you'd. I like the kind where you'd pick it up like a salt shaker.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, and You'd. And you'd had the little speaker. Hello.

[Jess Hooker]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Like, with the teletype in the background.

[Bob Kevoian]

Sarah, get me checked.

[Christy Lee]

When we were very little, my mother worked for the phone company or whoever. General Electric. That's who made the phones, right?

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So we had a phone. We had lots of phones.

[Jess Hooker]

We had that phone cord that was, like, stretched out, like, 20 or 30ft, it seemed like.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that was great.

[Bob Kevoian]

You could be.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm on my porch now.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

And then. And then the early days of the wireless phone. The wireless phone that had the antenna.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. You had to open it up. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

So I. So apparently they're making a comeback. Is that a hipster thing now?

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know. I think so. I think they've romanticized it enough that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It says the groups most likely to keep a landline are adults over 65, residents of rural areas, and people with spotty cell coverage.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Or if you have a certain security system.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, that's true.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. My old house had to have a.

[Christy Lee]

But so would mine have a landline

[Tom Griswold]

and a backup fire alarm? I think my. I think I do now, too, now that I think about it. I think there's, like, a backup fire alarm that is on the. That's on a landline.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

So, yeah, I got.

[Christy Lee]

So you could hook up a phone if you wanted.

[Tom Griswold]

I. No, I don't. Well, maybe. I don't know. I wouldn't want to.

[Christy Lee]

There's no phone Jackson Houses anymore.

[Jess Hooker]

That true?

[Christy Lee]

Anywhere you plug the phone in, you know, that little.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Not only do I know that the house I redid before, the one I'm in now, one of the. There's. I remember when I sold the house, there's. There's one place where there's. There are these two. There are two phone jacks. They're on the. You got to find a framed picture to put over.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Why don't you just take them out?

[Tom Griswold]

Because then you got to put plaster. You got to replaint the whole wall.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, weren't those walls concrete, too?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. I put furring strips up and re. Drywall 8ft thick. Oh, yeah. My old house.

[Bob Kevoian]

Josh, you'll enjoy this story. One of the first houses I lived in, I had to go up the pole to make a phone call. Oh, no, that was Green Acres.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Never mind.

[Josh Arnold]

It's easy to get confused.

[Tom Griswold]

All for the love up. Well, let's move forward here with Christy Lee. What's going On.

[Bob Kevoian]

Over there.

[Christy Lee]

An update on. We had the fetish about. About the feet juice earlier.

[Bob Kevoian]

Feet juice.

[Christy Lee]

Here's an update on the woman who was arrested this year earlier for urinating on furniture in a Florida Airbnb. She's facing more charges after authorities discovered similar incidents wear. We have an ear for news.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hello.

[Christy Lee]

Reports that we hear you. Nicolette Coe. No. Ms. Nicolette Keough was arrested on a felony charge of property damage worth over a thousand dollars. A report states the owner of an Airbnb in Pensacola discovered videos of the woman urinating on multiple pieces of furniture inside the home, totaling over $17,000 worth of damage. The 31 year old first made headlines back in March after she was accused of urinating on furniture in two downtown Pensacola Airbnb homes to make adult website content.

[Tom Griswold]

So that's the. So that's somebody's thing, watching someone pee on furniture.

[Christy Lee]

My end, the thing I find in the story is the owner discovered videos. So did you go looking for them? Was he into this or.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, once. I imagine once her name got out there, you could probably go online and check it out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Or check she'd done it to your house.

[Christy Lee]

I guess.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember the story we had a couple years ago about a. It was an. I forget the detail. The essence of the story was it was an Airbnb thing. And then someone called the guy up and said, hey, I'm looking at this porno. I think it's your house.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, I do remember that.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, they could recognize.

[Tom Griswold]

They recognize the furniture.

[Christy Lee]

Y.

[Tom Griswold]

So this lady was peeing all over the furniture?

[Jess Hooker]

Allegedly $15,000 worth of damage.

[Christy Lee]

Sure. That's been really nice furniture.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's what I was thinking.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you kidding? I mean, you pee all over the house. Think about it.

[Jess Hooker]

How. What it would take to clean that.

[Tom Griswold]

All the. Everything with, you know, all your couches and chairs.

[Bob Kevoian]

Piss everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

It could be worse. She could have been squatting. So that would have been.

[Bob Kevoian]

There'd be dookie everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not paying attention.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that dookie? Is that hip Dookie?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know that it's hip, but it's certainly appropriate.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what? Thank you, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

She's just peeing everywhere.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right?

[Tom Griswold]

Her streaming numbers are great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hang on a second. That deserves this.

[Tom Griswold]

Do we have a picture of her? Oh, there she is.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay. Oh, boy. Oh, Tom. Tom gave her an okay.

[Tom Griswold]

An enthusiastic okay, Josh, you notice anything about the testicular area?

[Josh Arnold]

You can't really see.

[Tom Griswold]

It looks ample and free.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what I hate? You know how I hate we're not supposed to agree with each other, but I. I think you're exactly right, Tom. Those are pendulous, as they would say.

[Tom Griswold]

And she looks delighted. Look at the smile on her face.

[Bob Kevoian]

She's never been happy.

[Jess Hooker]

She's an influencer. Yeah. Every picture is an opportunity.

[Bob Kevoian]

She's like, oh, that's great.

[Tom Griswold]

She's.

[Bob Kevoian]

She's peeing that up. Yeah, she's peeing right now.

[Tom Griswold]

That's exactly correct.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Every. Every picture is an opportunity.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

This will probably get her more business.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

There's a.

[Jess Hooker]

There's somebody somewhere who's into mug shots.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the law on. If you have an Airbnb, if you're the owner of it, are you allowed to have cameras in there? So you can prevent this from happening?

[Jess Hooker]

Have to be disclosed?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think you have to tell.

[Tom Griswold]

So if you say you're on camera all the time.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't pee in the furniture.

[Christy Lee]

I would not stay in an Airbnb that had cameras inside it. So I don't know that. That's very, very proud.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember I told you when I was down in Orlando at Disney World, we would air. We air. We would take Ubers between places, and I remember getting in one of them, and the guy. As soon as we got in, the guy goes, you have to understand you're on camera. Is that okay? Because if you're not okay yet, you have to take a different one.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, that's fine. I have stayed at Airbnbs where they have cameras outside, and they do disclose that. Yeah. But. Yeah. Would you say. I would never stay in an Airbnb that had cameras?

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, yeah, I just, you know, the owner of this place somehow found.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I wouldn't.

[Bob Kevoian]

I wouldn't have a problem with cameras if they stayed out of the bathroom, I would think.

[Christy Lee]

Or the bedroom.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

If they were in common areas.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't you do things to entertain? Wouldn't you do like that. Wouldn't you do, like, the Tom Crow thing, then slide across the living room knowing the camera was watching you?

[Bob Kevoian]

You talking about Tom Cruise, not Tom Crow. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Did I say Tom Cruise?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think you did. That's okay, though. I know who you mean. I. I do that every night before I go to bed. I. I wax up the floor.

[Tom Griswold]

No, wait. If you knew that they. They could be watching you, wouldn't you do fun tricks for them?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I. I would pay. I would pay it no mind.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, go by. Do the Charlie Chaplin thing naked.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what that is don't you

[Bob Kevoian]

give him a show. Yeah, give him a show. I spent the money. I spent the money.

[Christy Lee]

You have cameras in your house, don't you?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, I do. I've got nine at last count. Inside and out. They're simply safe cameras.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy Lee with the handoff.

[Bob Kevoian]

Boom.

[Tom Griswold]

You ladies are just doing great today. Every photo was an opportunity for ladies.

[Bob Kevoian]

They're doing quite well, aren't they, Tom?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I didn't, I didn't.

[Josh Arnold]

That didn't come out the way he wanted it to.

[Bob Kevoian]

That didn't come out that way.

[Jess Hooker]

No, that was a Tom compliment. We know. I know.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I meant to say, hey, look, for chicks, you guys are okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

I found myself watching the Women's College World Series yesterday. It's very interesting. And I, I, in my brain I heard Tom watching it. And I, A lady, a girl would come up to that. Well, now she's good looking.

[Tom Griswold]

That's exactly what I was watching. And I said something dissimilar to that. But I also said I would be afraid to face that picture.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Those women are throwing that thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

So 70 miles an hour, like, right?

[Tom Griswold]

And again, it's been said a thousand times, the name softball, not appropriate.

[Bob Kevoian]

Not really.

They should call it a larger, harder ball.

[Christy Lee]

It's on Netflix.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it Netflix? Yeah, it's terrific. And he's. He's a brilliant musician. He's done all kinds of great things as well as, of course, the band Devo. Also coming up, more things from the news desk. And we are still in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, there's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Jess Hooker.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Andy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Pat Godwin on assignment. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Pat Godwin getting his shoulder operated on tomorrow morning.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Yes, sir.

[Christy Lee]

I haven't heard anything about that rotator cuff. Hope he's okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. That's all I heard about.

[Christy Lee]

I know he's listening. We love you, Bat. You're gonna be great.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I have a technical question. Need some help here.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is this. You open the floor to anybody to answer or specifically.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I got a woodpecker problem at my house.

[Christy Lee]

See, I have a woodpecker. You got.

[Bob Kevoian]

I have a woodpecker. I got pictures of him, and I don't. I don't find him a problem at all. I kind of.

[Christy Lee]

You have the pileated one, too?

[Bob Kevoian]

The corner? Yeah, he looks just like the Woody Woodpecker. Woody Woodpecker. And if I don't hear him on Saturday or Sunday mornings, I kind of. I'm kind of lost.

[Tom Griswold]

He's not pecking the trees. He's pecking my house.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no kidding?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy. You don't want him to peck your house.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that also means you have bugs. Bugs? He wouldn't peck there if there weren't something to eat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's right.

[Bob Kevoian]

Termites.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. He's looking for it. No, it's. It's the. It's something attached to the house. It's not the actual house itself, but that's what it means often, though.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, like a pergola.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, exactly.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[Jess Hooker]

You have to sand it and refinish it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, great. There's a tree in the way.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, you got it.

[Tom Griswold]

What about shotgun?

[Christy Lee]

You can't do that.

[Jess Hooker]

You can't. You can't shoot a woodpecker.

[Christy Lee]

No, I think they're federally protected.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, why would they.

[Josh Arnold]

I Have both kinds. I have the piloted and the smaller.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know, little downies.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know the smaller one.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, they're cute.

[Tom Griswold]

Although, how about a paintball gun?

[Bob Kevoian]

The way you're describing them, the smaller ones seem sneaky.

[Josh Arnold]

Kinda.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[Christy Lee]

I feed them so they stay off my house.

[Jess Hooker]

Do they sound different?

[Bob Kevoian]

What do you feed them?

[Christy Lee]

I feed them woodpecker chow. I have a woodpecker feeder. I have a wonder. They get shoot.

[Tom Griswold]

You know someone. Oh, yeah, Someone's thinking right now, I got some pecker food for you.

[Christy Lee]

Do you?

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again, I think that would. That's one. One thing. Our body does not do that it should do.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Bob Kevoian]

There should be a time when you

[Tom Griswold]

need to replenish your fluids.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can.

[Tom Griswold]

You dip it in your penis can

[Bob Kevoian]

drink from a cup.

[Christy Lee]

Every now we have a male and female pileated that come to our house every day. And I was wondering if they have babies. And so I looked up, what, a baby woodpecker. Those little redheaded. They come out. They're like little redheads, like woody woodpecker. They are so cute.

[Josh Arnold]

Miniature.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. They're like tiny. I'm hoping that they show up now.

[Bob Kevoian]

Do they eat their young?

[Christy Lee]

No, they don't.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, that's good.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Well, I'm sorry if anyone knows the food. Way to help me with this. What else have you got over there, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Well, speaking of food, a new restaurant in Japan is taking off thanks to its surprising hit dish, oh, lord. Sushi pizza. Sora News 24 reports. The new fusion food is the brainchild of Kaizen Mogatari, a sushi and Isaac Haya restaurant in Osaka.

[Bob Kevoian]

And his nickname, Papa John.

[Tom Griswold]

Papasan.

[Bob Kevoian]

Papasan. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Sushi pizza features a crisp crust made from lightly fried seaweed and sushi rice.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[Christy Lee]

With a variety of seafood toppings, including eel, shrimp, mussels, and squid tentacles.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Jess Hooker]

Does it just look like sushi? Oh, there we go.

[Christy Lee]

It looks kind of like a sushi roll.

[Tom Griswold]

It looks like a pizza.

[Jess Hooker]

The crust is a sushi roll.

[Bob Kevoian]

I know I've asked Josh this before, but I forget the answer. Did when you went to the movies in. In South Korea, they had, like, fish on the popcorn or something?

[Josh Arnold]

The popcorn was. You could get popcorn. They didn't have butter. You would have it either plain or onion. Oh, powdered onion on it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And then they did have squid. They sold squid jerky at the theaters.

[Bob Kevoian]

Squid jerky? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

That's plain or peanut Butter.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. They had peanut butter flavored squid.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Christy Lee]

Did you try that?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it wasn't for me.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, fair enough.

[Tom Griswold]

And that does look like. It kind of looks like a pizza.

[Christy Lee]

And sure, it kind of makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The crust is that green.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, and the seaweed. Yeah. The crust is the. Rolled up.

[Josh Arnold]

It's got to taste every bit of sushi roll.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

It's just a nine year old sushi roll.

[Tom Griswold]

Easy to dip in ranch

[Bob Kevoian]

anything.

[Christy Lee]

When you dip it in wasabi, it

[Bob Kevoian]

dipped in ranch wasabi. No.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Too spicy?

[Christy Lee]

No. What's wrong with you?

[Tom Griswold]

I do like the name Papasan Pizza.

[Bob Kevoian]

I do like the name.

[Tom Griswold]

That's respectful, right?

[Jess Hooker]

I think so.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know why not?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Okay.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know why we'd start worrying now.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, sorry.

[Bob Kevoian]

She brings up a good point.

[Christy Lee]

Kraft Dinner is experimenting with its first dessert, Mac and cheesecake. The brand said it's stirring the pot with the cheesecake, which is made in Canada with real cheddar cheese. Described as a first of its kind, sweet and savory creation. The new treat only available for a limited time at select bakeries across Canada. Don't know if it'll make it to the States.

[Tom Griswold]

I love cheesecake, but is there cheese in it? What is cheesecake? Cream cheese. So it's not like Velveeta.

[Jess Hooker]

No, no, it's. It's a. Less.

[Bob Kevoian]

Once again, you can't.

[Christy Lee]

Less cheesy cheese.

[Bob Kevoian]

You can't think there were slices of cheese.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I know. I didn't understand why it was. Was called cheesecake.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Philadelphia cream cheese. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But this is combining two things. Mac and cheese and cheesecake.

[Bob Kevoian]

I, I don't know.

[Jess Hooker]

I mean, you could. I, I, in a pinch, I can put cream cheese in my Mac and cheese that I bake and it keeps it moist, thick. So that's.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Kind of the same. No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I, I don't know.

[Bob Kevoian]

I did. I don't.

[Christy Lee]

Mac and cheese has a certain taste.

[Jess Hooker]

That's true.

[Christy Lee]

It's.

[Bob Kevoian]

Where does the macaroni come in? And it's macaroni and cheesecake.

[Christy Lee]

It didn't say macaroni and cheesecake. It just said Kraft Mac and. Well, okay, well, Mac and cheesecake. So yeah, maybe it's. I don't know. Do we have a picture of that?

[Jess Hooker]

I think, I'm guessing that it sets. Oh, no, it's blended kind of that

[Tom Griswold]

orangey craft that does not look edible.

[Bob Kevoian]

Man, I love that craft.

[Jess Hooker]

But if you did that now, stay with me. If you did that. And you did like a cheeze it crust and. And chopped it into little bite sized like appetizers with a, with a toothpick. What do you think?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, that might be good.

[Josh Arnold]

I always forget that in Canada they call it craft dinner.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, they do have some craft dinner

[Josh Arnold]

instead of Mac and cheese.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Bob Kevoian]

No, I'm kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

That's interesting. Could you take a cake and I could do that. Drill. Drill holes in it.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Jess Hooker]

Drill holes?

[Christy Lee]

Why do you need holes in it?

[Tom Griswold]

Will it be Swiss cheesecake?

[Jess Hooker]

I want to defend you. That's my first response. I want to defend you. You make it so hard.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. That looks. That looks awful.

[Bob Kevoian]

Swiss cheesecake.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I mean, I'll see if I can order it. I'll see if we can order it and get it here.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right. Oh, and get some all dressed chips while you're at it. Those are the boxes.

[Jess Hooker]

Why don't you just give me your grocery list?

[Bob Kevoian]

Those are very good. Thank you very much. Well, you. You've got so so far today.

[Jess Hooker]

No, Pat's not here. I have no one to care for today.

[Tom Griswold]

We've had sushi pizza.

[Bob Kevoian]

Your list is getting longer.

[Tom Griswold]

Feet juice.

[Christy Lee]

You ready for cold making Feet juice.

[Tom Griswold]

And, and Malort. The. The shots popular in Chicago. They're about to set a world record for the most Malort consumption. What else have you got? Got?

[Christy Lee]

Well, I have Kool Aid pineapples. Have you heard about this?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Sam sent me a link this weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a big thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's a trend on TikTok. Of course. It involves taking pineapple spears, mixing the pineapple juice with Kool Aid powder and extra sugar, shaking everything together in a container, refrigerating everything to allow the fruit to absorb. Absorb rather the Kool Aid's color and flavor. Social media users have been sharing their concoctions, revealing deep red, bright pink and electric blue pineapple slices that they then snack on. However, according to Dextero, a full jar of Kool Aid pineapples can contain roughly 320 to 350 grams of sugar, which. About the same or slightly more than a 12 ounce can of Coca Cola. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So they're, they're kind of colorful pineapple spears.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But there's super, super full of tons and tons of sugar.

[Jess Hooker]

So this is a. There's a new Kool Aid trend every summer. It seems like last year, the year before, we put Kool Aid in pickles. Do you remember that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that was terrible. Yeah. So this year it's pineapple.

[Christy Lee]

At least it's pineapple. At least. It's sweet.

[Tom Griswold]

The photograph we have.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Not very good.

[Jess Hooker]

Looks like Jason is how.

[Tom Griswold]

Looks like spider man.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it looks like bread sauce. It looks like salsa, tomato paste.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it looks like a used tampon.

[Tom Griswold]

It does. It's a big.

[Bob Kevoian]

You know what?

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, my God.

[Bob Kevoian]

As usual, we're all near sighted. Josh has 2020 vision, man.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it's a hell of a month.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hell of a month, Dolores.

[Bob Kevoian]

Way to go, Dor.

[Josh Arnold]

Day one.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

So that's when it hits hardest.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a bright red giant chunk of whatever it is.

[Jess Hooker]

It is. But it's two things that are great and sweet by themselves. Why do we.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Pineapple. So sweet already and good.

[Bob Kevoian]

Most of those TikTok things that. That get to me, I kind of understand them, but I don't.

[Jess Hooker]

Not this one.

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't get this.

[Tom Griswold]

I think this one's colorful. If you had one of the bright red, then a purple one. And sure, this also helps. It helps increase your chance of getting diabetes by taking something healthy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Now.

[Tom Griswold]

Rum soaked melons. You like that?

[Christy Lee]

Rum soaked melons.

[Josh Arnold]

I haven't had that.

[Christy Lee]

I haven't either.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, you have. I mean, the kind of. On a lady.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, I thought he was meant like,

[Josh Arnold]

you know, I also haven't had that. Those two are pretty good on their own.

[Bob Kevoian]

Any conveyance for the rum, Tom? I'm in.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, take a sponge and then just.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Bob Kevoian]

Or a sponge cake.

[Tom Griswold]

Rub it all over. Okay. Thank you very much.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's a tick tock turn. There's an actual.

[Tom Griswold]

What's coming up, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have our history lesson. Of course, we also have. Would you be willing to be paid to masturbate and couple roller coaster stories. They pay me to do that. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there. Is this a live feed or these being taped?

[Christy Lee]

Well, we'll find out.

[Bob Kevoian]

Odds are I'm doing it anyway, so.

[Christy Lee]

Might as well get paid for it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Might as well get paid for, right? Speaking of food. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Got something to say? Send us an email. Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom.com box office.

[Bob Kevoian]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee and her hot water.

[Christy Lee]

Actually, I have tea today.

[Tom Griswold]

Tea.

[Bob Kevoian]

A little flavor in the hot water.

[Christy Lee]

Nice green tea. Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right there.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, for a second, I thought it was gonna be Christy Lee and her hot.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's. And her hot. Oh, there's Josh Arnold and his hot.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello, buns.

[Tom Griswold]

Hot buns.

[Bob Kevoian]

Red pepper. Hot. There's Ace Copper Crosby. Hello, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. Now you're. You're hot, baby. Hot buns.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hot buns. Oh, Tom. Hot buns. Grizzle.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy Lee. It's time for one now.

[Christy Lee]

Time for history.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, no. We've got to go over this. Stop the music. We've got to go over this for Jess. We have to go over Tom's parties when he was in high school.

[Christy Lee]

Did you hear this?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, Tom, you want to. I don't know if we can recreate It. But maybe we'll get the idea. Go right ahead. That typical high school party.

[Christy Lee]

His parents are out of town. He's gonna have a party.

[Josh Arnold]

Friends over.

[Tom Griswold]

We did.

[Bob Kevoian]

We.

[Tom Griswold]

We did this. We did this my senior year all the time.

[Bob Kevoian]

Eight to ten times.

[Tom Griswold]

My parents were gone a lot.

[Christy Lee]

You went to an all boys school, didn't you?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean we'd have. We had dates.

[Bob Kevoian]

We weren't.

[Tom Griswold]

And it wasn't a sausage fest. We would. No, it was hate. It was strictly co couples. And we would. There was like a little tiny Chinatown place. You'd get on. There was a grocery store there next to Chung was. And you would get the square pasta. I don't know what you call them.

[Jess Hooker]

Ramen,

[Tom Griswold]

egg roll wraps and wonton wraps. And we would make wonton soup and egg rolls with hot oil. And it was great.

[Bob Kevoian]

That was his high school party.

[Tom Griswold]

And everybody would chip it because you'd get guys that didn't do any cooking at all, teach them how to make the stuff. It would take it. It would take more like a couple hours and.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Jess Hooker]

I have a couple questions. Yeah, I have a couple questions. Did you serve beverages? Were there alcoholic beverages at these parties?

[Tom Griswold]

Your honor, I would like to.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, of course. And a lot of pot probably, but

[Tom Griswold]

like to take the fifth amendment.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay. Okay, next.

[Tom Griswold]

There was that. You're saying they were rolling something else.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay, that's fair. And did they not have pizza delivery service at this time in life? Had it not been introduced?

[Tom Griswold]

I had never had a pizza delivered to my house in my life.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay. So there. There probably wasn't really. What? They only delivered milk in that time.

[Christy Lee]

They didn't deliver.

[Tom Griswold]

We had a milk.

[Bob Kevoian]

Milk. Milk and ice. I'm guessing it was fun.

[Jess Hooker]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it was really fun. I should.

[Jess Hooker]

It sounds like something I would love to do today. I would love to host a party where I teach friends how to cook, but not when I'm 17 years old.

[Tom Griswold]

We were a sophisticated group. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

You did it with the girls.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he cooked constantly. I mean, made egg rolls. No, I should do it. But it doesn't. It's. It's boiling oil and it's a little tricky.

[Jess Hooker]

It's a little dangerous. I could see.

[Bob Kevoian]

Get a closed lid.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I probably air fry them now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no, that's no fun. You want. You want to have the danger? Let's get to history.

[Bob Kevoian]

Then we'll review the danger edge. Yeah. Egg roll parties.

[Tom Griswold]

This first one, when I am not a fan.

[Bob Kevoian]

God, that. That could cover anything.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. No, no. When it comes to alcoholic beverages we're talking about Malort, which apparently is. Is awful. The first written record of Scotch whiskey appears in Deacon Blues right in. In 1495 in what are called the Exchequer Rolls of Scotland. I never liked the taste of scotch.

[Jess Hooker]

I can't. Can't get on board either.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody?

[Bob Kevoian]

Always?

[Josh Arnold]

No, not for me.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, like there's an acidic taste to it for me.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know why. I know, I know people swear by it. Not my thing. But that's the first written record of the existence of Scotch whiskey. 1495. How about this one? 1533, Anne Boleyn crowned Queen of England. Watch your head.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It doesn't last long, Anne. Enjoy it while you can.

[Tom Griswold]

She was. Yeah, they lopped that head off. Her husband was Henry viii and he was found not guilty by a jury in Los Angeles, California.

[Josh Arnold]

Precedent had been set.

[Tom Griswold]

Keep those heads. A rolling boat.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's where the noise was coming from. That's why he cut off her.

[Tom Griswold]

1859 Construction concluded in the bell ring. Praying for the first time from what we now call the Big Ben. And what is the distinction there? That's the name of the Big Ben is the bell.

[Bob Kevoian]

I think the clock.

[Josh Arnold]

It is the bell.

[Tom Griswold]

It is the bell.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Alternate names for Big Ben.

[Bob Kevoian]

I heard, I've heard Large Charlie.

[Tom Griswold]

Large Larry.

[Bob Kevoian]

Large. No, Large Charlie.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

After the king.

[Tom Griswold]

1869, Thomas Edison granted the first patent for the electric vote recorder.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, where do you steal that from?

[Tom Griswold]

Bob Dylan.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, I, I knew it.

[Tom Griswold]

When Dylan went electric. Edison, Edison.

[Bob Kevoian]

You love that Dylan going electric. Don't you've never. Were you irritated by that?

[Tom Griswold]

Not at all.

[Bob Kevoian]

Because I can't get behind it. If you were.

[Tom Griswold]

I was irritated by the fact that's kind of a myth.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The way that story is told is not. Is not how it really happened.

[Bob Kevoian]

The, the way the movie presented it,

[Tom Griswold]

the latest movie in general. That. Huh. Wasn't why they were booing necessarily.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

But. So I guess that's the first electric voting machine. Did have you vote, did you vote in the last election?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, yeah. I, I cut all corners and there's a gentleman who delivers me my ballot and a meal. A meal. I think they call it meal on wheels.

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

And I get that. And yeah. Fill out your ballot and they wait for my ballot and I go, here you go. How about that?

[Josh Arnold]

And then you get your dessert.

[Bob Kevoian]

Then I give them $5 right back.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I prefer I do have a dessert instead of electric boating. The acoustic voting kind of a Kind of a hippie throwback. 67. The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it changed the whole summer of 67. One of the great covers. You have to. Can't argue that. One of the most memorable album covers of all time. And did you see Paul McCartney on Willie Geist yesterday?

[Christy Lee]

I didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

It was great. Yeah, it's. It's.

[Christy Lee]

Was he on top?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he wasn't on Willie, personally.

[Bob Kevoian]

Was he on top?

[Josh Arnold]

Because I might actually tune into that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Just to see what the hell.

[Tom Griswold]

The greatest songwriters in history.

[Christy Lee]

Love you, Paul.

[Josh Arnold]

Nobody said he wasn't fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Interview with him. I think I've heard he sings all

[Bob Kevoian]

he wants to say.

[Tom Griswold]

He sings. He sings with Ringo and his new album. It's great.

[Bob Kevoian]

Unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

He had a great story about George Harrison. Oh, hiking with him.

[Bob Kevoian]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Never. I wish Pat were here to back me up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Did they pick. They pick him up when he was hitchhiking?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, of course. Okay, how about this? In 1980s, CNN launched this is Sierra. Remember that? Darth Vader's their first slogan. Now you can be depressed all 24 hours. They originally were going to call it CNT, but.

[Josh Arnold]

But yeah, they figured television was already implied.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right. Cable news television.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think cne. CNT might be somewhat problematic.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah,

[Bob Kevoian]

certain CNT would be problematic.

[Tom Griswold]

1801, the birthday of Brigham Young. Anyone?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, yeah, he founded the. The university.

[Josh Arnold]

Lots of wives.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. Okay. It used to be. I guess they're. Yeah, they don't. The plurality or whatever that is. Yeah, bring him young. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

1926. Happy birthday, Andy Griffith.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you're not a fan.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no. It's on at my house every day, hun.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's like he's never died. He's right there and he's. He's. Is it possible? And I know it is. I don't know why I'm asking this question. You have an Andy Griffith show and then a Matlock right back to back.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it must be.

[Bob Kevoian]

It must be. Right.

[Jess Hooker]

Are those the only two series that he did?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think so.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

What do they call it when they. They do the crossover, when they mix two shows together?

[Jess Hooker]

A crossover?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Is that. Is that the name? Okay, which would be better, Andy Griffith or a Matlock crossover with, like Law and Order?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they bring in Ben Matlock on a very serious crime.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Or they bring in Barney boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you know Eddie Griffith was not nominated for a Face in the Crowd around that seems he wasn't.

[Bob Kevoian]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Great movie.

[Josh Arnold]

He should have been.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

He was hell of a performance.

[Tom Griswold]

He was famously laid to rest in a mausoleum.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

His family still. His family still may bury him. Ah, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. We'll have to find out what they decide.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, born in the same day as. This is interesting. Born in the same day as Andrew Griffith. Marilyn Monroe.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. 100 years old, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

They had a big thing on CBS Sunday Morning. Sunday Morning. I'm 108. I have to watch that. It's a federal law.

[Tom Griswold]

All the guys. All the guys who used to jacket to her are also dead.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

I like to think she has a younger audience.

[Tom Griswold]

You think so?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, I'd like to think so.

[Jess Hooker]

She's Evergreen.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But she's dead.

[Christy Lee]

She died at 36. She's, you know, forever young.

[Bob Kevoian]

So you've never. No. So a decision.

[Josh Arnold]

Half the women you've slept with her dead.

[Bob Kevoian]

I would think so. Yeah. I mean, just. Just the law. The law of just being alive.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, somehow I don't consider that to be an insult.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it's okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

No, it's too funny to not be an insult.

[Tom Griswold]

I was still alive. A 1937 Morgan Freeman. I think he's become sort of the new Christopher Walken for impressionists or Christopher Walken. What did I say?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, a lot of people have him,

[Tom Griswold]

and that's one of sort of the

[Josh Arnold]

Go to Sally Ando's is ridiculous.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. So good.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it doesn't sound like an impression at all. It sounds like the gosh darn man himself.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, he's doing a lot of pharmaceutical commercials lately. Maybe two, but that seems like a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

He has any more freckles, he's gonna disappear. Seen him lately.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, how about narrate something on Netflix about dinosaurs?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he does the new dinosaurs thing

[Bob Kevoian]

that I cannot stop watching and I don't know why. Netflix knows me.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they know us.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday. Actor 1946, Brian Cox.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, he's great. Something else.

[Tom Griswold]

Cox, he's always. He's a really good bad guy.

[Josh Arnold]

He was the original Hannibal Lecter.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And then they offered him Signs of the Lambs and he said, I don't do sequels.

[Jess Hooker]

Whoops, misstep.

[Josh Arnold]

But the world is better for it.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that's true.

[Bob Kevoian]

He's in. Ah. What is? The ring.

[Josh Arnold]

He is in the ring.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wonderful. In the ring.

[Tom Griswold]

People forget that 1947 Jonathan Price.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he's great too.

[Tom Griswold]

He's the guy that he used to look. Or he looks just like the previous pope.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he played him, in fact.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

In A movie?

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, Price with a Y.

[Tom Griswold]

A famous actor named Booth.

[Bob Kevoian]

John Hours.

[Tom Griswold]

Booth. Powers Booth, born in 1948. He famously played Jimbo Jones

[Bob Kevoian]

door to door. Monkey salesman.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

That's just. What an odd name.

[Christy Lee]

Powers Booth.

[Josh Arnold]

Also the. The villain in the Jean Claude Van Damme vehicle, Sudden Death.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, my gosh, it is. You saw Sudden Death?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, we watched the only one.

[Jess Hooker]

No, we watched so much Jean Claude Van Damme when I was a kid.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, my Lord. Really?

[Jess Hooker]

That and Total Recall. We watched that old.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no, that's a classic. That's a good move.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody know who this guy is? Born in 57? Jeffrey Hawkins, the Hawk. He invented the Palm Pilot.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

They almost called it the Hawk.

[Josh Arnold]

That would have been a cooler name.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Have you seen my Hawk? I need to charge my Hawk.

[Tom Griswold]

I can remember that. We were. I think we were on the road with the band and we. There was a Palm Pilot store.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

At a mall in. Maybe it was Charlotte. I forget where it was.

[Bob Kevoian]

It might have been Charleston.

[Josh Arnold]

I need a new stylus.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I was thinking, boy, this is the future.

[Jess Hooker]

But it was just the Palm Pilot. It's not like a BlackBerry. There was no phone.

[Tom Griswold]

There was no phone. Yeah. They and his brother invented the pocket fisherman. I don't know if you knew that.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, they were really into.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, they had both ends covered.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a chick McGee style was.

[Jess Hooker]

What?

[Bob Kevoian]

How am I.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday 70. Heidi Klum, madam to the stars. Judge on AGT with virtually no qualifications.

[Josh Arnold]

Heidi Fleiss is the madam.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, that's right, Heidi. I'm pretty sure it's Heidi, Seal's ex wife. What is it?

[Jess Hooker]

Seal's ex wife.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. She beat him, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's how we got that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Lastly, in 1996, Happy Birthday Tom Holland, the new Spider Man.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, now he's the. Now he's the old Spider Man.

[Tom Griswold]

Already?

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, he's made a couple movies already, Mr. Zendaya.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that is.

[Bob Kevoian]

And he's got Spider man coming out, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

End of the rainbow or something.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it is under the rainbow.

[Tom Griswold]

Does every generation have its own Spider man at this point? How many?

[Josh Arnold]

My generation has seven of them. It's ridiculous.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah, well, you got John Garfield, Andrew Garfield. You got Toby McGuire. Toby. And then you got this guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, happy birthday to all of them.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're welcome. Coming up, we're going to talk with musician Mark Mothers Ball into tomorrow's show we are Devo. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel. Were very helpful to us. We appreciate it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Chrissy Lee at the news center.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, sir. Ready to news.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Jess Hooker. Hello, there's Josh Arnold. Hi there. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick McGee over here at the sports desk. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I know what it's like when you forget where you are.

[Bob Kevoian]

What are you. You threw me by shaking you your shirt out there. You got a, you got a sweat going, you got a no going on. You got a stiff neck.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like a little itch.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, that's just like a tick for him. That's a reset you need.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. You need a back scratched or.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no anything.

[Bob Kevoian]

Massage?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm fine.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll be good over here. I'm fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you go to a place that could you that would for an hour you would get your back scratched?

[Bob Kevoian]

I don't know if I could go an hour. Maybe make that part of a massage.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Bob Kevoian]

Scratch it a little bit.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I, I remember there are people that would love to have their back scratched. Like that's how my kids would fall asleep. Like scratch my back. I've never been a fan.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I'm a big fan.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When I was a kid, I remember having and really wanting before I had it a plastic back scratch. It had a little hand on it. Those are awesome.

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I, I treasured that thing. It was like a sick green color.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe I'll buy.

[Christy Lee]

If you're interested, get them at the fair or something.

[Josh Arnold]

I bought three of them and they telescope so they can go down. You can keep it in your table.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, see that's much more sophisticated. Yeah, I, I had the primitive. Sure. And I don't know, I just thought it was the coolest thing.

[Bob Kevoian]

The telescoping technologies changed the game on back scratchers.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it.

[Jess Hooker]

Like 20 years ago, Chick brought up back scratchers on the air and people just killed. Kept sending them.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I have beautiful. Remember that?

[Tom Griswold]

Hand carved.

[Christy Lee]

I still have one.

[Jess Hooker]

Hand carved.

[Bob Kevoian]

I still have the.

[Josh Arnold]

I have one. That's panda bone.

[Tom Griswold]

It does doesn't have the. There's something about having someone else scratch your back that's a lot more comforting than. It's amazing using your own back stretch.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember I took My little niece to the movies and she. You know how kids sometimes at the movie theater, they get a little antsy?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

She wasn't being bad, but she just wanted to stand up and put her arms on the seat in front of her. And there was barely anybody in there, so it wasn't a big deal.

[Jess Hooker]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

So I started scratching her back and she turned around, she goes, stop scratching my back. And I go, oh, sorry. And I stopped. Then she turned around, she goes, now rub. I was supposed to rub her back, not scratch it.

[Bob Kevoian]

All right? She knows there's a girl knows what she wants, so.

[Tom Griswold]

So back to your original question. Would you. You pay someone? I would rub your back for.

[Josh Arnold]

I'd go, just a scratch. Rub all around. Yeah. Happily.

[Jess Hooker]

Well, I remember drawing pictures. You draw a picture on their back and they'd have to guess what it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Spell out words. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, they all started with F.

[Bob Kevoian]

And would you pay for. During the course of your massage, would you pay for full release?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think this is a sexual

[Bob Kevoian]

thing at all in this case.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but that would almost get in the way of the back scratching.

[Tom Griswold]

Since you've sadly gone down that road,

[Bob Kevoian]

you're not doing it right.

[Tom Griswold]

That does lead to this very odd story.

[Christy Lee]

An AI companion startup is offering $2,000 to test out its AI guided masturbation feature.

[Tom Griswold]

First of all, what is an AI companion startup? What does that mean?

[Bob Kevoian]

There's a technology out there where you can.

[Christy Lee]

Using AI for something.

[Bob Kevoian]

Friend. But I mean, AI friend.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, an AI companion then is. Is when you're.

[Christy Lee]

When you use.

[Tom Griswold]

You're talking to a robot. It's not a real person.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, Joy, A.I. that's J O. I said it is looking.

[Josh Arnold]

And also, do you know what that means?

[Bob Kevoian]

The last I is in.

[Josh Arnold]

It's also jerk O. Instruction.

[Bob Kevoian]

Instruction.

[Christy Lee]

That's what they're doing. They're looking to hire 10 masturbation consultants to test and feature what's called daily guided masturbation, which uses mood matched AI voice sessions to guide users through the experience.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so wait a second, wait a minute.

[Christy Lee]

Are they paying voiceover work? I could do that.

[Josh Arnold]

You could do that.

[Tom Griswold]

So J O I means it's a voice telling you how to.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, typically it means a girl, a real person on camera going now, Jay. Yeah, now go slower. And now I'm going to count you down to the 10. 9.

[Tom Griswold]

What is it? What does it say? I'm sorry, what does it stand for?

[Bob Kevoian]

Jay? J.

[Josh Arnold]

Off Instruction.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, oh, sorry. Okay, I got it.

[Christy Lee]

Testers are are tasked with documenting how regular use affects stress, sleep quality, mood and confidence over a four week period.

[Josh Arnold]

I always thought Joi was pretty cute. It's like.

[Christy Lee]

It is kind of cute.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You're gonna.

[Josh Arnold]

You're gonna instruct me? Are you okay? I've kind of been.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know how I know this, but do you know who's really into that? Is your son Willie.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. He loves it.

[Christy Lee]

He's talked about it.

[Josh Arnold]

How do you like knowing that?

[Bob Kevoian]

I wish I. Yeah. I don't know why, but I got all creepy. Hell of a big.

[Josh Arnold]

He's a big fan.

[Christy Lee]

The listing describes ideal candidates as articulate, observant, and impossible to blush. Observant people who can describe sensations better than a sommelier describes a wine.

[Josh Arnold]

See, that's the thing. The AI is going to watch you. This isn't my thing. I know I'm speaking passionately about it.

[Bob Kevoian]

Mm.

[Josh Arnold]

It's not my thing. But I like that it's out there for folks. Gonna watch you and go, oh, I see you're going a little fast. Slow it down. Slow it.

[Jess Hooker]

You know, how would you ever know that about a person, though? You know what I mean? What would they like what. How would they ever know what you would like to say? Go faster.

[Josh Arnold]

That's been the issue with Joi, is you just have a standard now. The camera is going to focus on you and the AI is going to interpret what you're doing.

[Tom Griswold]

So this thing is going to adjust

[Bob Kevoian]

over time exactly to your preference.

[Tom Griswold]

And so they're paying people now to test it. Is that what's happening? So, hey, $2,000. Hey, mom, don't bother me now. I'm on the clock. Yeah, I'm working here.

[Jess Hooker]

He didn't say clock.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a second. You talk about a. Talk about a whack job.

[Christy Lee]

So they're giving you $2,000 a month to try it out.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm a little bit confused. So. So if I understand what you're saying, there's a camera that's going to be watching you do this and then interpreting over time.

[Josh Arnold]

It sounds like maybe in this case. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

Or you can personalize it and say, I want somebody with a British accent.

[Bob Kevoian]

And then, oh, hey, yeah, that's a

[Jess Hooker]

part of the AI companion thing is that it's human. Like that's what that means, is that it's. It's a virtual entity.

[Tom Griswold]

So they're trying to develop this. So it'll eventually be available from my

[Bob Kevoian]

series is a British accent. You can pick that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Australian Accent?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay, so this is in the beta testing, Correct? Master beta testing, if you will. Thank you. I just thought of that right now. I want to say that in a few minutes I think we're gonna hook up with the very great musician Mark Mothersball. Devo out on tour. There's a terrific documentary about Mark. Did you. I watched it last year. Is that on Netflix?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it's on Netflix.

[Tom Griswold]

About the band Devo and they're Akron or margins, et cetera, et cetera. Right now, a couple quick things. One, with respect to your financial situation right now, maybe you've got a huge credit card debt. You want to pay that off. The interest is somewhat debilitating at whatever 20 plus percent you may be sitting on a bunch of money with your house. But you don't have to sell your house to take advantage of the fact that most houses are worth a lot more than they were five years ago. The average house has more or less doubled in price in the United States in the last decade. This may not be your situation, but it very well might be. And the advantage of that is you don't have to sell your house to take advantage of the equity that you have in it. If you do a refi, that's where American Financing comes in. They understand that you may need a little cash right now and they have salary based mortgage consultants that can work with you. Right now their average client is saving about 800 bucks a month. Also, they have an opportunity right now for a limited time that may actually delay two mortgage payments. So see what I'm talking about. If this sounds like a situation you're in, in about 10 minutes the folks at American Financing can walk you through what might work for you. So there's no upfront fees, no high pressure salespeople. Once again, they're salary based mortgage consultants. So see if this fits you by giving them a call. 866-889-2611. Or just remember American financing.net, do us a favor, let them know that you heard, they heard about, you heard about them through us by putting a slash, Bob and Tom. Or just tell them once again, get their number by going to americanfinancing.net nmls182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the five start at 6.327%. For well qualified borrowers, call 866-889-2611. For details about credit costs and terms, visit american financing.net bobandtom Average savings based on borrowers who save over $.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Chrissy Lee at the news desk right

[Tom Griswold]

in the cusp of having a really good argument.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Josh Arnold. There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick Biggee. Hello, Tom, we have a, we have a guest.

[Tom Griswold]

We do, don't we?

[Bob Kevoian]

I think we do.

[Christy Lee]

Coming up.

[Bob Kevoian]

Coming up.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

We're working on it.

[Tom Griswold]

And we, we lost Ms. Hooker in the shuffle there. We are going to hook up. We have a possible surprise guest and then another guest in a matter of moments. I think in the meantime, we have. Oh, wait a minute there. I'm getting the. Yes, I'm getting the signal. I'm getting the signal from the other room. There we go. I recognize that guy.

[Bob Kevoian]

Gosh, that's him.

[Tom Griswold]

It's, it's Mark Mothersbaugh, a musician. And Mark, I, I watched the, the great documentary last year about you and Devo. It just, it really brought me back. I'd, you know, forgotten a bunch of the stuff. And I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, so it was nice to see the great success from Akron, Ohio, that is the bandivo and I looked. You guys have a big touring schedule out there this year.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

We're out there doing stuff now and then. It keeps us out of trouble.

[Tom Griswold]

How many of the original boys are in the band these days?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Well, Bob one, my brother, the guitar player, Jerry Casale, who The three of us, we started the band with a couple other guys and we're still, we're still playing. Crazy enough.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great. Well, I know that you have a bunch of dates coming, including Indy, Akron, you'll be up in Canada for a while and all over the place, all of them listed on your website. You're even going to the uk yeah,

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

we're playing a couple shows over there where we're playing at the O2 with B52s or friends of ours, and we've done shows in the last couple years together.

[Tom Griswold]

What foreign country is Devo the biggest in? Do you know?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

It depended on what time you were talking about. There was times when we were number one on, on in countries all over Europe and nobody in the US except for at a couple college stations knew who we were. So, you know, it changes.

[Tom Griswold]

That had to be kind of, had to be kind of cool.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was kind of cool. I, I think probably in the early days, it was probably Japan. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you go over there to tour in the early days?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Oh, yeah, Yeah, a number of times, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, cool. What's your. What's your favorite spot in. When you do a foreign tour?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

My favorite spot. Anywhere that's close to a restaurant afterwards.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there a ritual after a Devo show, you and the fellas go to a certain type of restaurant?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

No, we all, you know, we kind of split up into a couple categories, but, you know, it's. We like nice stuff to eat and. And things that are local.

[Tom Griswold]

It is, you know, like we do.

[Bob Kevoian]

Tom. You like a salad bar, we go get a steak, you know. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's right.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

So in other words, McDonald's in every single city.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's something different about eating one. In Japan, though, I can't. I can't put my finger on what

[Tom Griswold]

is the today's Devo Sim. That list look like

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

it's got. It's got a kind of, you know, it's kind of the. The greatest hits kind of show. So, you know, it's. It's like, I think people are less interested in hearing the newest song by Devo, but they want to hear things that they remember from the past. And. And that's kind of, you know, that's how I'd be if it was like, if David Bowie came up to me as a ghost and said, o you want to hear the newest album just wrote, or do you want to hear one of the first albums that drove you crazy? And I go play the old stuff for me.

[Tom Griswold]

What about outfit wise? Will one be seeing the good old Devo that we know and love?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Yeah, yeah. You know. Yeah, we still wear the Hazmat outfits. You know, they're. They're kind of maybe more appropriate for these times than they were.

[Tom Griswold]

I was trying to think that we were talking about the other day, Pete Townsend at Woodstock. Is that the first time I saw anybody wearing kind of an outfit you'd change oil in, like, coveralls?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Probably, I think so. Because I'm thinking back, too, about that time, and I think he was kind of the first guy that looked like he should be under the hood working on a car.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I remember, and I remember it. And then Daltrey's got the leather jacket with the fringe on it. It just looking so cool. But Devo certainly much more theatrical than anybody else back in those days that I can think of.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Oh, you know, we were just, you know, kind of expressing our genetic imperative. You know, we were from a. An industrial. No, we. It was the rubber capital of the world at the time when we grew up.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

So so, you know, we were. We were just displaying our lack of individuality.

[Tom Griswold]

The documentary is terrific. Again, I. I saw it quite a while about a year ago, I think, and I certainly would recommend people check it out. Beyond. Beyond Devo. Are you doing soundtrack stuff? What else are you doing these days?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Oh, yeah, I got. I think I have three films I'm working on right now. And there's always. There's a game. I'm doing a video game. So there's. There's always a bunch of stuff happening.

[Tom Griswold]

When, when you were a kid, what car. Was there any cartoon music that you particularly thought was great? Because I. I think there's so much terrific cartoon music. You know, it starts with, of course, the Jetsons and the Flintstones and all that stuff.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Oh, no.

[Josh Arnold]

What did.

[Tom Griswold]

What was, in your opinion, the good stuff stuff?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Well, you know, I'm. Maybe I'm older than you because I. I go back to, like, Looney Tunes and things like that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

The guy who wrote that music, Raymond Scott, he wrote that in the 30s. And it was back in a time where cartoon music wasn't even considered copyrightable. So. So Carl Stalling just took that music and. And threw it in, uh, Looney Tune cartoons. Uh, I remember Daffy Dun Duck. I loved all that.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah, yeah. But I.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

But yeah, I'm. I was. I'm with you with the Flintstones and the Jetsons and all the Hannah Barbera stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Has any of your music or Devo's music been sampled in the world of hip hop? Oh, yeah, A lot.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

You know, it's. You know, it. It shows up quite often, and nowadays you have to ask permission. It's back in the. The days when sampling was first happening. I remember people would. Would. Warner Brothers would say, hey, here's a Hendrix tape that never got used for anything. You want to say, I hear you're recording a Hendrix song. You want to put his voice on something, and we put a shout in on. Are you experienced? Off of one of his discs. And you could do stuff like that, and nobody. Nobody had it worked out yet. So.

[Tom Griswold]

So do you get a phone call saying, we want to use this for this? And do. Is there. Is there a standard rate?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

No, you kind of just, you know, it's. It's like, it's. It's never like. It's like a billion dollars. We're waiting for that one to happen. Somebody's going to want to use it for that, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we'll let you go. Mark Mothersbaugh is our guest. He's A very fine composer, musician, and one of the founders of the great band Devo on tour right now. We'll stick some links up and you can go see Diva. What's the name of the tour again, Mark?

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

I don't even know if we have. Well, when we Tour with the B52s, we call it cosmic de evolution, but. But with us, it's just. We're mutate, don't stagnate. Is probably okay now. It's kind of like the message. The first 50 years were like things. Humans are the one species out of touch with nature, and now we're kind of like, what do you do about it? And that's what we're encouraging.

[Tom Griswold]

Kids, well, go see a great live show with Devo. Hey, thanks for all the great art over the years, Mark. We are big fans and best of luck with the tour.

[Mark Mothersbaugh]

Yeah, thanks for all the great interviews. You guys are great.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, thank you. That's very kind.

[Bob Kevoian]

Thank you, Mark.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we're gonna move forward.

[Christy Lee]

Is really cool, too. Check it out on his website if you've never seen his actual print art.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, cool.

[Christy Lee]

Pretty amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, there's a slight possibility we may have a surprise.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

That's all I can say. We'll leave. We'll leave it right there. But we did have another letter we got just a few minutes ago about the Malort issue.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Is there. Is there an issue?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there's a world record is being attempted for Chicago.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have. It was the most. What is it again? The most shots?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. They're aiming to set the world record for the most people doing a shot of Malort at the same time. August 30th at the recess. At recess in Chicago. It's called bad decision for a good cause. It's for a nonprofit.

[Bob Kevoian]

It.

[Christy Lee]

If you want to find out more information, maybe take part.

[Tom Griswold]

Malart or Malort is apparently a really vile tasting.

[Christy Lee]

Swedish liqueur. Yes.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah. But the term recess, I think that's the name of a. Yeah, I just think of, like, fifth graders. They're going to do a shot of Malort.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay, that's good.

[Tom Griswold]

The article here says it has been compared to battery acid. Acid, pesticide and gasoline often associated with the city of Chicago. Got this letter. My wife and kids went to Malort Fest one year. My wife tried a shot. You'd swear she'd just eaten a full diaper. Oh, she yelled. It tastes like a perm.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yuck.

[Tom Griswold]

You know that. Oh, yeah, that perm smell. We Were talking about.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That's a. That's a good description of what is going on in the world of weird things to drink. And we'll see if we can get Willie G. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Recess Chicago is a West Loop bar and restaurant. So it's a big space. They have a lot of room. So apparently they can fit a lot of people in there. It can't be a big world record to beat. I bet this is the first one. Right?

[Tom Griswold]

I imagine. But yeah. We'll get Willie on the ground for that one.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

What else you got?

[Bob Kevoian]

Boots on the ground. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Texas officials say eight students were rescued after getting stuck on a roller coaster at Galveston's Pleasure Pier. KTRK reports that the Iron Shark roller coaster stopped due to mechanical issues leaving riders stuck along its 100 foot vertical lift hill for nearly four hours.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you seen this?

[Christy Lee]

I have not.

[Tom Griswold]

They're going straight up. There it is. There's a picture. I mean they are.

[Christy Lee]

So they're laying on their backs. Basically.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Imagine gigantic paper clay clip. They're going up and then it. Obviously it'll turn around and go straight down. But they're at the very top. And they had to get. That's the second hook and ladder. I guess the first one they had a problem with. So they were stuck up there for quite some time.

[Christy Lee]

Says four hours. The Galveston Fire Department. All eight students are doing well following their ordeal. The eight riders involved were students who are participating in a field trip organized by a local STEM high school program. Oops.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That would be terrifying.

[Christy Lee]

Better than being hung upside down. I would think that would be worse.

[Bob Kevoian]

I can't do it anymore. I can't. I can't. Roller coaster. I can't. No. None of it.

[Christy Lee]

Nope.

[Tom Griswold]

And. But they.

[Bob Kevoian]

Imagine if something for my. You stood. Eustachian tubes or something. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

What if you had to go to the bathroom?

[Christy Lee]

You have to hold it.

[Tom Griswold]

Does the body. And when you're in a situation like that. Does the terror sort of shut everything

[Christy Lee]

down or release everything? Wouldn't it?

[Bob Kevoian]

I've heard that potty training is so ingrained in all of us that it would take. Yeah. It would. To use your bath. Use the bathroom in midair like that. It would really take some concentration. Or. Or maybe. You know. If you. You got to go. You got to go. Is the other school of thought. I guess.

[Tom Griswold]

I guess when they got done they got a free lemonade.

[Bob Kevoian]

That's nice. And a pretzel.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Another roller coaster story that Josh turned us on to yesterday. We have more details. Six Flags has banned a so called influencer from their parks for life after he filmed himself eating chicken nuggets on a roller coaster. In the video, 26 year old Alan Farrell, known for his rage bait content, eats from a 10 piece box of chicken nuggets at the top of Cedar Point's Millennium Force roller coaster. The stunt violated the park safety policy prohibiting loose items on most rides. And as a result, a Park spokesperson said Mr. Farrell has been banned for life from all Six Flags parks. In response he said, quote, I understand Cedar Point stance on safety and I respect it. The video was meant to be a ridiculous comedy bit. Not encouraging or not encouragement rather for people to break rules.

[Tom Griswold]

And isn't the issue if you're eating, you could choke.

[Josh Arnold]

That's got to be one issue. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Not to mention getting dipping sauce on the guy in back of you on the comic coaster.

[Bob Kevoian]

I've got a problem with the term rage bait. What the hell is that trying to make us?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, let's say I post. It can be something as simple as I post a picture of you and I. Chick and I write, Tom and I had a great time at lunch.

[Bob Kevoian]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Then people comment so often, that's Chick, that's not Tom. Because you get more comments, you're then higher up in the algorithm and you get more views and all that people a lot of times purposefully or you know. Yeah, hey, I was on this roller coaster at an LA and it's actually point, you just get people angry.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, how can you be so stupid?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like negative attention times.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. That it gets so many comments that it actually helps. Helps you.

[Bob Kevoian]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

And so this guy, you say he's been banned, do they? So at every Six Flags location is there a picture of this guy. So insisting you walk. Wait a minute.

[Bob Kevoian]

I hope so.

[Tom Griswold]

That's him.

[Bob Kevoian]

If you see this. Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know how that would work.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, I'd like to think he may have a disguise. I'd like two tickets, please.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah,

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, when he's 43 and he has three kids, he's not gonna be able to take his children.

[Bob Kevoian]

Why can't we go to Six Flags?

[Christy Lee]

Well, D

[Bob Kevoian]

Chicken nugget.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, a really bizarre story in the world of politics in another country. So I'm sure someone will be offended by this, but it, it's very odd and it'll. I think it'll bring back memories of a certain American television show.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my God.

[Bob Kevoian]

Right?

[Tom Griswold]

You were afraid I was going to say that, weren't you? It's not offensive, is it? You think? Okay. Sorry. Christy Lee's. Hey, Christy, how'd you get to work?

[Christy Lee]

How did I get to work today? Well, I always drive my Tucson Hyundai. That's how I got to work today. While the world watches the stars at the FIFA World Cup, Hyundai has its eyes on the next generation of talent. The future stars who are already turning heads at age 14. Because next doesn't wait for an invitation. And neither does Hyundai. Hyundai has always moved the future within reach. They did it when they made advanced safety standard on every vehicle and engineered EVs with ultra fast charging capability. And they're still doing it every day. Because the future isn't some far off concept. It's already here. Next starts now. Hyundai, an official partner of FIFA.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Very welcome.

[Jess Hooker]

Welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

We're gonna come back with a bizarre story about international the international political scene designed, I think, to offend no one. But it probably will. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Just gotta get ahold of us. Call, text or email, get all the contact information you [e-mail] this is the Bob and Tom Show. Tickets.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. At the news desk, it's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Chick.

[Bob Kevoian]

Hi. There's Jo, Josh, Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Bob Kevoian]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Chick McGee.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

It's good to see you, sir.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, we, we haven't done this yet this morning. You're too old. Yeah. Devo, right?

[Tom Griswold]

That's great stuff.

[Bob Kevoian]

I remember them being on Saturday Night Live and I lost my mind.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Like, who the hell are these guys?

[Tom Griswold]

We just talked with Mark about the brothers Ball, one of the principals in Devo and he and the band out on tour and I know that.

[Christy Lee]

Fun tour.

[Tom Griswold]

You just saw him.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. Well, I saw him two years ago now. But yeah, it's a fun show and I love that. My daughters love Devo. I mean, they've got a whole new audience. Like it spans all generations. Pretty incredible.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of fun. Now you are still sitting at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm kind of doing something over here,

[Christy Lee]

but I'm reading this story under protest.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'm happy to listen.

[Tom Griswold]

I like this story.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I know you do. An aspiring Nigerian politician, initially believed to be a 30 year old with dwarfism has turned out to be a teenager. According to the Whistler News Organization, grassroots organizer Mohammed Sabis Buba started to Gain widespread attention while campaigning earlier this year.

[Bob Kevoian]

Don't they call them zip?

[Christy Lee]

He claimed to be 30 years old and said his youthful appearance was caused by dwarfism. However, one of his family members came forward to publicly reveal that Mr. Bouba is only 15.

[Tom Griswold]

So you see what's happened.

[Christy Lee]

He has been disqualified.

[Bob Kevoian]

Well, at least I hope so.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't that be hilarious? That'd be a great movie. I mean back in the day, obviously this would be a Gary Coleman.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

But it turns out he really is only 15. I just thought it was kind of funny. I mean, imagine a. Imagine a politician with the emotional maturity of a 15 year old. Wait a minute.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's kind of like those.

[Tom Griswold]

Hang on a second. Okay.

[Bob Kevoian]

It's kind of like those cops who go back to high school, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You know, and they're NAR 21 Jump Street.

[Bob Kevoian]

They say oh no, I'm a senior and they're 27.

[Tom Griswold]

Or every once in a while you get a story about some. Someone running for office. That's whatever, what is it, 18 running for mayor and they're 12 or something. Or in some small town, a dog gets elected.

[Bob Kevoian]

I was just going to say I like the story. Golden, golden retriever gets elected mayor. I, I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

But this is a, this is a legit situation. But they've obviously it's caught up with him. I think, I think a nice premise for a movie.

[Christy Lee]

He's grounded now for the rest of his life.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Hey, maybe he's got what it takes. If he can maybe think about it from this perspective.

[Christy Lee]

He's a go getter. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

This could put this together.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And it almost worked. So, you know, so good for him.

[Christy Lee]

Are you familiar with the indie horror film backrooms, Josh? Number one at the box office beating the latest Star wars film.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Killed it like 81 million or something.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. $81 million in its first weekend. Star wars the Mandalorian Grogu. Only 25 million in its second weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

So what is the story on this movie?

[Christy Lee]

It's an indie YouTuber, right. I don't know much about it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, 20 year old kid directed it and I guess it's maybe a short film on YouTube, something like that. And it had a big following.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yes, I saw something over the weekend like a real quick. It wasn't a documentary, but it was on that director. Like he's amazing. Like 20, 21 or 20.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's crazy. Good for him. Beat Hollywood.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And doctors are warning that social media may be as dangerous to children as smoking. Medical experts Say they're increasingly seeing anxiety, trauma, sleep problems and other health issues linked to online activity and addictive app features.

[Josh Arnold]

I think at this point, I'd rather hand my kid a pack of cigarettes than an iPad.

[Christy Lee]

Some policymakers are now considering stricter rules for minors, including time limits, curfews, and age restrictions on social media platforms.

[Josh Arnold]

It'll never happen. It needs to happen.

[Christy Lee]

Well, Australia did it. Australia.

[Josh Arnold]

We can do these stories every day. No one is going to listen.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but again, watching videos of dogs surfing doesn't cause lung cancer. Answer. Got that going for you? Well, you just make. Your brain may rot, but yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Well, another news story today. Frankie Valli, have you heard about this?

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, no.

[Christy Lee]

The legendary falsetto. I love Four Seasons.

[Bob Kevoian]

I love him and all of his music.

[Christy Lee]

Has canceled the remainder of the band's 2026 tour dates.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

A 92 year old frontman and the only original member still performing with the Four Seasons announced over the weekend he needs to take the rest of the year off to focus on his health. Frankie Valli launched an extended farewell tour billed as the Last Encores in October of 2023. So he's been at it for a while.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he, he had indicated there were things floating around that he was essentially lip syncing.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, he's a man of a certain age. Back in the day, I, I was never a big fan. I did like his version of the song Grease, I must say.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I didn't like that falsetto, you know, Ronnie, that kind of.

[Bob Kevoian]

You always.

[Tom Griswold]

Fairly awful.

[Bob Kevoian]

You always reference Ronnie.

[Tom Griswold]

I just hate that song. But I mean, but I like Grease is the word.

[Bob Kevoian]

Old school.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, he's obviously had a great

[Bob Kevoian]

career and I like the Four Seasons on their own, actually, without Frankie Valli. Oh, what a night. That is a good one.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And to wrap things up today on a sad note, I know that's what I do.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, boy.

[Christy Lee]

Marcia Lucas, the Oscar winning editor of the original 1977 Star wars, has died at the age of 80. She, of course, was married to George Lucas from 1969 to 1983. She also edited Return of the Jedi, worked on films like American Graffiti and Scorsese's directed Taxi Driver and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

Those are all great movies.

[Christy Lee]

All great movies. Yeah, she was wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, that's. That's a shame. Sorry. I'm sorry to hear that. Coming up, we never got to it. There's actually a pretty cool story about Mona Lisa.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you seen it in person?

[Christy Lee]

No, I have Not. I've been to Paris a couple times but never isn't it waited in line

[Bob Kevoian]

about as big as a postage stamp.

[Tom Griswold]

It's, it's, it's not as big as you think it's going to be. And, and several, I think several thousand people a day shuffle by.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think anybody's actually seen it for 50 plus years.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

You think it's a foe?

[Bob Kevoian]

You might be.

[Tom Griswold]

I do not think it's a foe, Nisa.

[Josh Arnold]

I do.

[Bob Kevoian]

I'd rather see all. I found this over the weekend. There are 18 different dogs playing poker. You can collect all 18 if you'd like.

[Christy Lee]

Did you buy one?

[Bob Kevoian]

Not yet.

[Tom Griswold]

Those are much older than you think. Think.

[Bob Kevoian]

Oh, yeah. They're like from the turn of the century.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The turn of the previous 19.

[Bob Kevoian]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I'd like to see those in person.

[Josh Arnold]

I would too. Like an original.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Walk up, check out the patina.

[Bob Kevoian]

Absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember. I remember no other, no other terms from art history. Yeah. But there's going to be, there's a really cool Mona Lisa story out there. And when you hear some of the numbers, you're going to go, what? We'll find out about that tomorrow. Thanks for joining us today. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios.
