[Tom Griswold]

It's the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, if you've been in a relationship for 10 years or five years or four months or two months or even like five weeks, I mean, you've done a lot of growing in that amount of time.

[Henry Phillips]

You know, I was reading in that.

[Christy Lee]

Book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. And it basically said that men are problems.

[Henry Phillips]

She's talking again. It's really bugging me.

[Christy Lee]

She's talking again.

[Henry Phillips]

It's so embarrassing. I look at my friends, they think she's psycho.

[Christy Lee]

Cause she's talking and talking and talking.

[Henry Phillips]

Talking and talking and talking. She's talking again. I need a cigarette. She's talking again.

[Tom Griswold]

I wish we never met.

[Henry Phillips]

She's talking again.

[Christy Lee]

She's like a TV set.

[Henry Phillips]

She's talking and talking and talking and talking.

[Christy Lee]

And talking and talking and talking and talking. So I've never really had anything real traumatic in my life.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, no, actually I did when I.

[Christy Lee]

Was 14 years old. I fell off this hors and I got this thing called an anal hematoma. So disgusting. It's basically a blood. He doesn't know I'm talking. Like have a pow wow or something.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Sometimes I can talk a lot, and other times I'm really shy and I don't say anything.

[Henry Phillips]

I feel kind of guilty with you.

[Christy Lee]

Though, because I feel like I'm the.

[Henry Phillips]

One that's been doing all the talking.

[Chick McGee]

It's just that you're so easy to talk to.

[Henry Phillips]

I just feel like I've got so.

[Christy Lee]

Much in common with you. I feel like.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe I've been unloading on you, but I just feel so relaxed and really looking forward to spending a lot of time together.

[Chick McGee]

Hey.

[Tom Griswold]

Special guest this morning, Henry Phillips. The Hankster. Nobody calls him that. We'll talk with him later. Today, my favorite Henry Phillips story. Henry, Drew Hastings and I roll up to Wendy's. We're on the road with the comedy tour. It's like, I don't know, quarter to 11 central time somewhere in Oklahoma. And Henry's in the back seat. I'm driving. Drew's in the passenger seat. Henry leans up and the lady goes, can I take your order? And Henry goes, yeah. Do you guys have a liquor license? Of course, Wendy's did not have a liquor license. And then she said no. And he goes, oh, I'll just have a frosty dance. So there you.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

There's Henry.

[Chick McGee]

We'll look forward to seeing him. Yeah, I've seen him in a long time. He's got a lot going on in the. In the world of, of. Of broadcasting, shall we say, in other media forums. We'll find out about all that stuff coming up. Christy Lee is back from her brief vacation. Looking. Looking good. Was it? Did you have a good time?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it was a great time. Always fun in Charleston. A little hot.

[Chick McGee]

It was a little hot everywhere.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, a little hot, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

What did you do, Christy? Tell us everything. I mean, good morning. How are you? Did you shop Charleston? Good shopping city.

[Christy Lee]

I'm not gonna bore you with my weekend.

[Henry Phillips]

No, no, no, no, no, no.

[Christy Lee]

I went down to spend it with my family, with my niece and her kids.

[Tom Griswold]

That for you? Got your health.

[Christy Lee]

I had an 8 and a 6 year old. Spend the night with me at the hotel. I highly recommend that if you don't want to sleep.

[Tom Griswold]

Can I guess? May I make a guess? Their number one activity. Jumping on the bed.

[Christy Lee]

Watch. And watching Disney plus.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

And the hotel breakfast. Kids love the hotel breakfast.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah, they do.

[Christy Lee]

Waffles.

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I thought of you, Pat.

[Pat Godwin]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

They didn't have an indoor pool because, of course it's a hotel pool that it's in Charleston. It's hot all the time.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So we had an outdoor pool.

[Pat Godwin]

They loved it.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Chick McGee]

Jumping on the bed's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Jumping on the bed's the best.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I certainly love that.

[Tom Griswold]

You know who got in trouble for jumping on the bed? The monkeys.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Now, did you. When you were a little kid, did you get going any vacations where you.

[Tom Griswold]

Were in a hotel, told you about this? No. I dreamed of staying in a hotel with my family. No, you never did.

[Chick McGee]

Really.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. We stayed one time. Cincinnati used to have an amusement park called Coney island before Kings island. And Coney was closing so they could make Kings Island. And we stayed in Lebanon, Ohio, at a. And I don't. I think it is still there because I mentioned this before in the air and somebody told me it is still there. It's called the Golden Lamb Hotel. And we famously stayed there one night with my mom and dad and my mom's mom and dad.

[Chick McGee]

One room?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no. We got.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

My grandfather held me. We spooned. That was a good time over there. Yeah. That was the only time I stayed in a hotel as a kid. Only time.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We didn't stay in one when we went on vacation. We go to neighboring towns in Ohio and do our laundry at different laundromats. That's a true story. That's a. That's a nice memory for me as a kid.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. I'm not gonna ruin her.

[Christy Lee]

When we were kids, we stayed with family. We'd go see my grandmother in Pennsylvania, my grandmother in California.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Never stayed in a hotel. We always stayed there.

[Chick McGee]

That's. That's why now when I travel, I. I will always stay in a hotel, no matter what.

[Christy Lee]

I would like to shout out to the Hyman Seafood Restaurant. Hey, Hyman took the family there.

[Tom Griswold]

We're.

[Christy Lee]

Wonderful time.

[Chick McGee]

Did you ask about their famous waiter?

[Christy Lee]

Their famous waiter, Dusty.

[Chick McGee]

Dusty.

[Christy Lee]

Dusty Slay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No, I didn't. We used to be a waiter there. I know. Mr. Tobias. The. Most of the Tobiases were on a fishing trip, unfortunately, so we didn't get to meet them, but.

[Tom Griswold]

So Hyman's his first name. Tobias. Hyman.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, Tobias.

[Chick McGee]

That sounds like an illness. Well, I'm afraid you don't.

[Christy Lee]

They gave me a wonderful meal.

[Chick McGee]

Afraid you've got a bad case of Tobias Hyman. That's never going to come out.

[Josh Arnold]

So the owners were on a fishing trip. Did you happen to notice that certain things weren't available on the menu?

[Tom Griswold]

Like the walleye. Walleye should be here by tomorrow. 3 o' clock. Can you. Can you wait?

[Christy Lee]

No, it was. It was a wonderful meal. They were very good. So thank you to the Hyman family.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. A lot to get to.

[Tom Griswold]

Nobody likes.

[Chick McGee]

Now, we'll start with hockey.

[Christy Lee]

Hockey.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Because we were discussing the Stanley Cup. And hockey. Oh, we were discussing the famous Stanley Cup.

[Tom Griswold]

No, that's not the way you say it. Say it right.

[Chick McGee]

I give up.

[Tom Griswold]

Stanley Cup.

[Chick McGee]

Stanley Cup. Oh, Stanley, give me that cup. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And technically, it's Lord Stanley's Cup.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it is.

[Chick McGee]

I say. Lord Stanley, give me that cup. Dr. Livingston, I presume. Wait a minute now. Dear Bob and Tom Show, I heard you the other day talking about what may or may not have found its way into the Stanley Cup. Now, we had a new story that the cup was. Was again. What was it? Dropped and chipped or something?

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

And it's when you. When your team wins the Stanley Cup. Unlike most other awards of that sort, each player gets to hang out with it for a period of time. They do all kinds of stuff with it. Chick suggested that someone had probably pooped in it at some point. And you quote nerds shot him down. Well, Chick was right.

[Christy Lee]

Come on.

[Chick McGee]

Back in the 90s, one of the Red Wings players placed his infant daughter in the cup for a photo op.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Did talk about that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think I do remember talking.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

She did christen it, so.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that's way different.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it would be disrespectful for an adult, too.

[Tom Griswold]

I still say that. That has to be one incredible frat and frat brother if he could do that on command. Oh, you know what I mean. That process.

[Chick McGee]

Well, last asked Pat about Big Red sometime. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Pat Godwin]

That's an army base.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a true story.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Honest to gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

On Jimmy.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, on Jimmy. Maybe. May I die in a plane crash.

[Josh Arnold]

No reason for you to have.

[Pat Godwin]

That's what I say.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Apparently there is.

[Christy Lee]

Don't ever say that.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me step in here.

[Chick McGee]

This is the fun part of the show.

[Pat Godwin]

I was being challenged on a story.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it's a. It's a fantastic story. You can't blame me.

[Pat Godwin]

Me and Michael Jackson were doing a duo game.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. All right. I don't have a problem with that part.

[Chick McGee]

This hello, Bob and Tom show writes Rebecca. What food or dessert would you love to have again? Perhaps something that had been. Oh, I see. Prepared by a deceased relative with their special recipe. Oh, that's a fair question.

[Christy Lee]

That's a tough question.

[Chick McGee]

I know. I'd want my mother's angel food cake. Just delightful.

[Tom Griswold]

I got another.

[Josh Arnold]

My Grandma Starkey made a chocolate bread pudding that was wonderful. So I would like to have that again.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Christy, boy.

[Christy Lee]

And we weren't known for the culinary skills.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you inherited that, too.

[Tom Griswold]

We're gonna have the family over for dinner. How many down?

[Christy Lee]

We always joked because my grandmother was infamous for like, one time she cut up a spatula, got torn up by the mixer. You know, she just left it in the cake batter. She was that kind of cook.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, God, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Patty G. Something special in the.

[Pat Godwin]

My grandma, she made highballs. They played cards. That's all I really remember.

[Chick McGee]

Cigarettes, Eyeballs. Good food. Okay, good.

[Christy Lee]

My grandma had specialized tea. I understand. Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, Rebecca meant well. I think it's a fair question. One more quick one. What movie, TV series, or book would you like to erase from your memory so you could experience it all over again? That's a great question. There's so many. If you could take a pill and see something for the first time, so that would be a favorite movie. Yeah. We'll give it some thought. When we come back, we'll touch on that. We have a lot of other interesting things happening today that we will try to get to everything if we can. That would include, of course, discussion of things in the world of sports. We have a couple good world records, some unusual crime happening out there and an important study about why things smell bad and how and how that affects the human olfactory system. Right now, this portion of the Bob and Tom show is brought to you by the Silac Insurance Company. As most of you know, the stock market's been up or down, up, down, down, down, up, up, very confusing. And if you've got your retirement funds in there, it can be kind of scary. That's why the Silac Insurance Company has put together things they call annuities. This is a way to counter the volatility of the market and you will have your money protected. So find out about it. Don't stress about retirement and stress about your money running out with an annuity. That can't happen. In fact, you can't outlive your money. See what a Silac annuity can do for you. Some restrictions apply. Learn [e-mail] there's another easy way to get that information. By the way, you just hit £250 like you're calling £250. Then you say out loud, lifetime income. That's £250, say lifetime income out loud. Annuities designed to protect your retirement because you're probably not going to keep getting that paycheck when you retire down the road. So you'll sleep a little better knowing that you got things all planned out. Get all the details. Some restrictions apply. See what I'm talking about? Once again, £250, say out loud lifetime income. An annuity from the Silac Insurance Company. Plan on it. Live on it. Coming up, comedian Henry Phillips will be joining us. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Henry Phillips]

I am Michael Rosenbaum.

[Chick McGee]

I am Tom Welling.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome to Talk Bill. Where it's fun to talk about Smallville.

[Josh Arnold]

We're going to be talking to sometimes guest stars. Are you liking the direction Lois is going in?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, because I'm getting more screen time. Good.

[Chick McGee]

But mostly it's just me and Tom remembering. I think we all feel like there.

[Tom Griswold]

Was a scene missing here.

[Chick McGee]

Got me, Tom. Let's revisit it. Let's look at it.

[Tom Griswold]

See what we remember.

[Henry Phillips]

See what we remember.

[Chick McGee]

I had never been around anything anything like that before.

[Henry Phillips]

I mean, it was so fun.

[Chick McGee]

Talk, Bill. Talk Bill.

[Tom Griswold]

I just had a flashback.

[Henry Phillips]

Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's get into it.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

There's Pat Godwin. Hello, Hello. Josh Arnold. Hi there. Ace Cosby's here. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Chick McGee. It's good to see you, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

Good to see you, my friend.

[Chick McGee]

We have a lot of mail here.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I got a lot of mail over here.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, who's going first?

[Tom Griswold]

I'll go first because this one seems to set the tone for this morning. This is from Brad. Hello, Bob and Tom Show. Can you tell I'm stoned? Followed by Anybody ever read this stuff?

[Christy Lee]

I love it.

[Tom Griswold]

That's Brad.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Brad.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Brad. We cannot tell you're stoned. And obviously I'm reading it. So thanks, buddy.

[Josh Arnold]

We're talking nicknames. We've got a lot of good nicknames. I know Jess Hooker mentioned that there was a guy at his at her school that was allergic to denim. So they called him Gene. A little while back, says Mike, you were discussing nicknames. I once knew a guy who was hit by a car as he was crossing the street leaving work. Nothing too serious. No broken bones, no serious injuries. He was taken to the hospital for quick observation. And once we learned that he was okay, he was from that point forward affectionately known as Speed Bump. Here comes the whole speed.

[Tom Griswold]

There's old Speed Bump.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's we remember we were talking about walking the Appalachian Trail and how you get a nickname.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

I've received a whole bunch of letters from people saying you don't give yourself the nickname.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I would hope not.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, gosh, no.

[Chick McGee]

That never works. It's very important that someone give you the nickname.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

And apparently many of them are vulgar, if you will. I'll have to dig up those letters.

[Tom Griswold]

This is interesting. One of the sports stories this morning, Major League Baseball. There's a catcher for the Seattle Mariners. He hit his 32nd home run yesterday. The Mariners beat the Twins 11 to 2. But he has a unique nickname. He is called the Big Dumper.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow, I wonder what that's about.

[Tom Griswold]

Here comes old Big Dumper. That is, he was given this nickname by a teammate because not. I would guess most people would. Would take a shot at. He has. He leaves right. A larger than movement, but it's actually about the size of his backside.

[Chick McGee]

He has a very large, he has a very large.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Very large behind. There he is right there.

[Pat Godwin]

He does.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's Cal Raleigh.

[Josh Arnold]

He got you.

[Tom Griswold]

He's the big dumper.

[Josh Arnold]

Not quite Kirby Puckett, but it's. No, it's, it's larger than the average mlb.

[Tom Griswold]

Larger, Larger than mine, certainly.

[Chick McGee]

But wouldn't you say baseball players have the largest asses in sports?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't, I don't know that I would say that. I'm not sure.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, all your power comes from. That's where all your. Yeah, right there in your Hawks.

[Henry Phillips]

Huh?

[Josh Arnold]

Their pants certainly show them off. Maybe the best.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that could be, I guess hockey.

[Christy Lee]

Well, see, football is Football. Butts are nice.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

That guy's got a nice butt.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I would think that would be considered a nice butt.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And no one in this room. I got. Ace has a substantial. But the rest of us are pretty much flat in that area.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

If not. If not, negative.

[Tom Griswold]

Almost concave.

[Chick McGee]

This is a complicated letter, but well worth your attention here. This comes to us from Alan in Ohio.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Alan.

[Chick McGee]

He says, hey, whoever reads this. On the Bob and Tom show last year, I told Josh to shove a bottle of Italian dressing up his rear for saying marinating chicken is for those who can't cook. Oh, yeah, I remember that discussion.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Chick and I were discussing a simple way to make a delightful grilled chicken is to marinate it overnight in a bottle of Wishbone Italian dressing.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom makes a mean hunk of chicken. Man, I still remember that in that old house in the woods. You made that chicken.

[Chick McGee]

Then later on, Mr. Tom Griswold slandered the Cincinnati Bengals fight song, and I requested that that same bottle of Italian dressing be shoved up his. Now can someone retrieve the bottle and shove it up Chicks behind. Oh, what happened for slandering the name of America's treasure? Dolly Parton.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I know, I, I, I know I'm in the minority on this. I just don't, I do not get it.

[Christy Lee]

You don't get Dolly Parton?

[Tom Griswold]

I think she, I think she's a wonderful personality. But as far as audio recordings, they should be banned or at the very least put in 5 gallon drums and buried in the desert.

[Chick McGee]

You just don't like her voice.

[Tom Griswold]

Voice? I don't, I don't at all. No great songwriter if you slower vocals down. It's badass. Sounds a little bit like Tracy Chapman, actually.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we've, we've done that.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's the mentioned Bengal fight song. By the way.

[Chick McGee]

This is Whitey White in the Caucasians.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Cincinnati.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the Cincinnati German Trumpet Tuba Band or something. Hey, and knowing Paul Brown, he probably got this made for 12 cents.

[Chick McGee]

And he probably owns the publishing, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. He. He's. He threw dimes around like manhole covers. That's Paul Brown.

[Chick McGee]

This is to Christy. You're gonna have to help me with this. My grandmother worked at Roslyn Bakery back when they did their baking in house.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Chick McGee]

For my birthday every year, she would make me a quote unquote blackout cake.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. Rosalind's bakery was known for that.

[Tom Griswold]

The blackout cake was amazing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What is in a blackout cake?

[Tom Griswold]

It's like a super duper crazy chocolate cake.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. That was a local bakery here. Wonderful.

[Tom Griswold]

And remember, they had some trouble there at the end with some health department. They no longer exist. And they had it. They had a guy talking to a guy on the news about what he thought about the products that were coming out of Rosalind due to the controversy around the health department. And the gentleman says, I don't care. Them cookies is good.

[Josh Arnold]

Who cares if there's a little rat in there?

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Christy Lee]

The bakery itself is gone, but you can still buy the products at local grocery stores.

[Chick McGee]

Do they have the blackout cake still?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I haven't seen it in a while. I thought I saw.

[Christy Lee]

And an alligator coffee cake that was.

[Chick McGee]

We may have to get Amy on this one. Cakes are specialty, so.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Perhaps we can forget the recipe. Thank you very much. Once again, we had this letter from Rebecca. She wanted to know what dessert we'd love to have again. Also, she wanted if there was a TV series or book you'd like to erase from your memory so you can experience it all over again. For me, there are so many, especially a movie. I'd love to see all. I'd love to see the movie Sideways again and not know anything about it. I just love that movie. Anything come to mind for you, Josh? You're the biggest movie.

[Josh Arnold]

The First Halloween again. And just be terrified beyond belief.

[Chick McGee]

I've never seen any of. Maybe I should go see it then.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't think it's for you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, we have a story that I picked out just for you today, Josh. Oh. In kind of in the world of horror movies, sort of. Wait till you. Wait till you hear this.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

My dad's mom, my grandmother Ruth, she was known for her biscuits. I wish. I don't it's not a dessert, but she made biscuits from scratch. Every single day, Every day, every day in a cast iron skillet. And I would love to be able to. To do that.

[Chick McGee]

I. I couldn't agree more. If you're just joining us, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Pat Godwin's across the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, everybody.

[Chick McGee]

Getting some songs ready for us today. And also speaking of songs, comedian and singer and songwriter Henry Phillips will be joining us. Is Henry gonna do some music for us?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I'm gonna use one of my guitars.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay. All right. Now, Josh, you may get this. I didn't get it at first. I had to do a little homework. This comes to us from Lodi, California.

[Tom Griswold]

Are they stuck there?

[Chick McGee]

Dennis lives. There he goes. I realized today that I can go full auto RPG and watch the Bob and Tom show on YouTube. Anybody know role playing game? Yes. Very good, Josh. I didn't know what that meant. Go full rpg. Going deep into a character while listening to our show and, and playing some video games, Snowrunner on Xbox and other platforms. A game. You pretty much drive big trucks around and drop off assorted goods all over the map.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh.

[Chick McGee]

So you can drive a truck and not really be driving a truck and yet be enjoying our show. Yesterday we had a complaint. I did and Chick did on about Sundays Wordle.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The answer was thrum.

[Tom Griswold]

Never heard it. Never heard of it.

[Christy Lee]

Thrum.

[Chick McGee]

I never heard thrum either.

[Josh Arnold]

Kind of vibrate hum.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. This is a jeweler mark writing. I've been a jeweler for 40 years. Thrumming is when you take an abrasive string and work it back and forth to polish hard to reach areas of a piece of jewelry in that world.

[Josh Arnold]

That's. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

One aspect of thrumming.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Never heard of it before, but I got it anyway through a process of elimination, he says. Sort of like when Tom has his shoes polished at the airport. Mark in Portland, Oregon. Thank you very much. We've learned a little bit about thrumming. Glad to be here. Anything else over there? Chick Magee.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Chick, didn't you say your mom saw Charlie Pride for the first time on He Haw? Yes, that happened to me when I was a kid. That caused quite a problem in my. In my home. And this guy Ricky said, I just saw that same episode. It's up on YouTube. It is the very first show of he Haw in 1969. He says, oh, really? I don't know if I can verify that or not.

[Chick McGee]

There you go and your mother was.

[Tom Griswold]

My mother loved Charlie Pride until Charlie appeared on television.

[Josh Arnold]

That is unfortunate.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's just leave it at that.

[Josh Arnold]

And rip. To the great Gaylord Sartain.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he was on he Haw forever.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. An awesome actor. He was in all those earnest movies.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah, I know.

[Josh Arnold]

He was a good kind of a fun comedic character actor. Gaylard Sartain, what a name. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

If we're doing the obituaries.

[Christy Lee]

Somebody die.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. This is a sad one. Great guitarist, a terrific songwriter. Mick Ralph's. You would immediately recognize some of the songs he wrote for Bad Company. And he was in Matha Hoople and then Bad Company. He co wrote some of those Bad Company classics. You remember he also owned a chain.

[Josh Arnold]

Of grocery stores in the county.

[Chick McGee]

But sadly, Mick Ralph died at the age of 81 a couple days ago. He had been bedridden since 2016.

[Josh Arnold]

Yikes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he had a very bad stroke.

[Tom Griswold]

Who wasn't Mick Rouse, Andy Frazier, Simon Kirk and Paul Rogers in the band Bad Company. I think maybe it was free.

[Chick McGee]

Was free.

[Tom Griswold]

Was crossed over a lot.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Paul Kasso, he's. He's considered by some to be the greatest guitar player of the. In the history of classic rock.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

But just. I only obviously had a short career because he's also deceased. But yeah. Paul Rogers from Bad Company said our Mick passed my heart just hit the ground. He has left us with exceptional songs. He wrote Ready for Love, revamped and done by Bad Company. Just feel like making love. Whole bunch of terrific songs.

[Josh Arnold]

He also left some very dirty sheets seats.

[Pat Godwin]

He's been in the bed since 2016.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You gotta get out once a week.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

You gotta watch.

[Tom Griswold]

You're just waiting to die at that point.

[Chick McGee]

Right. And I. I'm get up. If I'm not mistaken, it doesn't say anything here. I believe that Bad companies being inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame this year.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

They're in good company.

[Christy Lee]

They are they.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Bad Company. Finally.

[Josh Arnold]

In Good Company.

[Chick McGee]

In. In Good Company.

[Josh Arnold]

One of the boy. How many bands out there have a song named after them?

[Chick McGee]

Eponymous.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, the eponymous song.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there's. We had this argument recently. There's wasn't an argument in a big country. It's close.

[Josh Arnold]

It is close. You're right.

[Chick McGee]

What is the. The song is just. What is it? Big Country.

[Josh Arnold]

In a big country is the song.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Bad Company is a bad company.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That counts. Big countries in a big country. That shouldn't count.

[Pat Godwin]

Doesn't count.

[Josh Arnold]

And Wang Chung doesn't quite count. No.

[Tom Griswold]

Everybody Wang Chung did.

[Pat Godwin]

I. I don't think there's another example.

[Tom Griswold]

Iron Maiden.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Like I said, there's no other song.

[Pat Godwin]

Talking about music, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. Music. Lastly, something you'd want to listen to.

[Chick McGee]

The obituary column. Sad news. A guy. This guy was a really great man. Frederick Wallace smith.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah. FWS. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

He founded.

[Tom Griswold]

Damn right he did.

[Chick McGee]

FedEx.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure did.

[Chick McGee]

This is it. No, I, I. You can't do it. You can't do an obituary with any solemnity when you have a defense.

[Tom Griswold]

He almost called it.

[Pat Godwin]

This is a comedy.

[Tom Griswold]

He almost called it Fred X.

[Josh Arnold]

Why he didn't.

[Chick McGee]

Well now that's what his gravestone will say.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The Fred X. The former breathing. Now this guy was a war. He was a war hero and. But he. And he essentially invented the whole business.

[Tom Griswold]

Of behind the scenes story is that's how that's. He's the guy. And that company. They sort of started the dominoes to fall to get rid of Dan Snyder in Washington. They started taking away advertising dollars.

[Chick McGee]

Then you got along the guy change the name.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I got to.

[Chick McGee]

But yeah. He. He created Federal Express.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

And then I just heard that his family dumped his body at the door of a funeral home, rang the bell and drove off. No, they're kind of an earth.

[Josh Arnold]

There's that solemnity, the tone that you.

[Pat Godwin]

Were trying to adjust.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't forget to read me the ride act when I do it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Good for the goose is good for the gender.

[Josh Arnold]

You forget how young those companies are, relatively speaking. Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

You know there's an arrow in the FedEx logo. You guys know that?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Did you guys hear this rumor and this isn't a joke that he the owner couldn't make payroll and he went to Vegas and took all the money he had and put it on black or red one and came back and played and made payroll.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

That's what. That's a rumor about how the company kept going.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Pat Godwin]

Not a joke. Not a joke.

[Christy Lee]

Not a joke.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great. That would be awesome if that's.

[Chick McGee]

And they used to remember the days of the. Absolutely positively.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it used to.

[Chick McGee]

It used to be possible to do guaranteed overnight pretty much anywhere. But yeah, the guy revolutionized contemporary trade. And didn't they.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't they strand Tom Hanks on the.

[Pat Godwin]

Desert island though they did make some mistakes.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean think about that. He almost died on that desert island.

[Chick McGee]

It wasn't his fault.

[Henry Phillips]

And maybe what if there'd been a.

[Tom Griswold]

Satellite phone in the box that he didn't open.

[Josh Arnold]

Many a dinner conversation after seeing that.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi, welcome to boring conversations. Number one.

[Henry Phillips]

Did you notice he came to a.

[Tom Griswold]

Literal crossroads and that girl came by.

[Pat Godwin]

That was a new beginning. That woman. He could have taken a left turn.

[Josh Arnold]

Plebeians discussing cinema.

[Chick McGee]

[Chick McGee]

What's the name of the show again?

[Josh Arnold]

Plebeians Watching Cinema.

[Chick McGee]

This is great.

[Tom Griswold]

At the feeling that Wilson was his child. Didn't you get that feel?

[Josh Arnold]

He really felt something for that.

[Tom Griswold]

He really felt.

[Pat Godwin]

Where do you hear my thoughts about Shawshank?

[Henry Phillips]

Flawed.

[Josh Arnold]

Save it for next week.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll be back.

[Chick McGee]

We are broadcasting from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Even though we're not too much to look at. You can also watch the show on our YouTube channel.

[Chick McGee]

Much indie decorative Concrete.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, we're back at the Bob and Tom show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need. Jiffy quick, fast. From the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Josh Arnold, Christy Lee, Pat Godwin, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Tom we have some letters about nicknames. I got a couple more of them. The one that you read, Josh, Some.

[Josh Arnold]

Guy was hit by a car, but not injured. He was okay. He ended up being all right. And his buddies then called him speed bump.

[Tom Griswold]

And remember yesterday we had a nickname about a guy who dated a woman with a wooden leg and they called him splinter?

[Chick McGee]

Here you go. This guy writes, dear Josh, I thought you were reading my letter. My name is Mike. I will leave my friend's name out of this. He was crossing the road to go to the bank and was hit by a car. He was fine. Earned the nickname roadkill.

[Josh Arnold]

This one, by the way, the speed bump letter written by a guy named Mike. Oh, how weird. Mike's if you're a friend of Mike. Careful.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Don't walk out in front of a car.

[Chick McGee]

We had a guy in my grade school class who had six toes on one foot.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

It might have been forgotten, but his last name was Rose. And of course he became six toes rose, which, this is great. Eventually morphed into sixto six six zero sixto kid. He was a friend of mine.

[Tom Griswold]

Wah wah wah wah. Great song.

[Chick McGee]

Great song. Great band.

[Tom Griswold]

Change in the middle.

[Josh Arnold]

Six toe kid.

[Chick McGee]

Six toe. Hey, sixto.

[Josh Arnold]

Six toes. Rose is a baseball player name. That's amazing.

[Chick McGee]

If you've got any great nicknames, by all means send them to us. It's always fun. We'd love to hear from you.

[Tom Griswold]

This is from Ron for Tom. Hey, Tom, let me tell you how radio works. Quote, we're about to return and we'll do that when we come back.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that was a famous quote from Tom yesterday. Instantly famous quote.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe I know how radio works, Tom. He's got a problem, and we're about.

[Josh Arnold]

To return, and we'll do that when we come back.

[Chick McGee]

I would like to say that that was deliberate, but it wasn't.

[Tom Griswold]

I find it cute. Tom likes the article on hurricane names. I live in southwest Louisiana and have experienced many, many hurricanes. I could. I could care less what they're named. It could be bunny rabbit. I will look at strength and forecast to determine my reaction. Possibly the name could affect the actions of people who've moved there, but not veterans. Ah, that's from Daniel.

[Chick McGee]

This isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of scientists.

[Tom Griswold]

It is not.

[Chick McGee]

It is so.

[Tom Griswold]

It's an article that was written by.

[Chick McGee]

Scientists who say that it's.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a theory. It's not been proven.

[Henry Phillips]

Isn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

Wasn't it written by a lady with Some feminist grudge. I thought. I thought it was so clear.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know why they don't name them powerful hurricanes.

[Chick McGee]

It was written by Dr. Eliza Clunt.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, doctor.

[Josh Arnold]

I know Liz and I will not have you badmouth.

[Pat Godwin]

Did you miss this, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

I so missed you guys.

[Chick McGee]

One day can't go or Liz anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

I read everything Dr. Clump puts out. You get the. You get the clunk letter.

[Chick McGee]

Her name is no Larry Scared man.

[Pat Godwin]

You know we were Talking about the FedEx owner that passed away before. Yes, And I said that he went to Vegas to do payroll, right?

[Josh Arnold]

True.

[Pat Godwin]

But he played Blackjack. He took 5,000 bucks, came back with 27.5 K. Boy, that's payroll.

[Henry Phillips]

Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

And by the way, take note. Small business owners, that doesn't always work.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, we'll be getting a letter from a guy whose nickname is broken. But that guy was a real hero though. That started FedEx.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

It served. I think he served two tours of dirty of duty. Excuse me. In. In Nam with the marines.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh really?

[Chick McGee]

But yeah, he thought of the whole thing when he was in college. Got the idea. So good for brilliant. We have. Do we have more letters? Are we gonna segue into the world of sports?

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Chick, There was. You were talking about your dream of the sitcom yesterday. Monkey Butler. We've been talking about that for years. If we could. He's right. This guy. His name's Scorpion.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a Netflix series called the Umbrella Effect. That's right. And there is a. The gentleman in charge is a monkey. And he's the scientist behind these very superhero kids that he takes in.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no way.

[Tom Griswold]

Some sort of. He talks and helps raise the kids. It's a weird series, but you should at least check it out. And he has a full full on monkey wear suits and glasses. But he's not a monkey butler. But never mind. Tom won't back it. He thinks it's not going to do very well.

[Chick McGee]

The Monkey Butler. The monkey butler may be funny. Does the monkey were like a tux?

[Tom Griswold]

The monkey could wear any.

[Christy Lee]

No, like a butler out butler suit.

[Josh Arnold]

Are we talking three like a traditional three camera sitcom shoot? Yes, I'll invest.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Thank you. Can I ask the other sharks what they think though?

[Chick McGee]

This one's kind of complicated. This involves a little bit of history. It's. Dear Bob and Tom show. This past weekend I wanted to show my wife the video of Josh when he was a guest on the Bob and Tom show years ago. I typed Josh Arnold's name and the Google automatically filled out the searches. One of the searches was Josh Arnold's net worth. So I clicked on it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you're a curious person.

[Chick McGee]

Sure. It said, quote, josh has a net worth of 12 billions of dollars.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

So that brings me to two questions. Is Josh's mom really rich or did Josh inherit more than a banjo when his father died?

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, well, you know, that information is out there. The. The. My net worth, but how I got it is not. And that's how I'd like to keep it.

[Chick McGee]

I see.

[Tom Griswold]

It's very, very private. How you guys.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah. Let's just say none of it is on the up and up.

[Chick McGee]

This is a. This. What this is, really is a request for this very short moment from the show, which I will play for you.

[Henry Phillips]

Now.

[Josh Arnold]

I am legitimately now the owner of a banjo.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I need to get it in here and see.

[Pat Godwin]

How did that happen?

[Josh Arnold]

My dad died.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

That is. Jess Hooker's laugh is what really sells that. An innocent conversation. And Josh mentions that his. His father. When his father died, he left Josh a banjo.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Just listen again to the joyfulness that.

[Josh Arnold]

I am legitimately now the owner of a banjo.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I need to get it in here and see.

[Pat Godwin]

How did that happen?

[Josh Arnold]

My dad died.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Thanks.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Sometimes you just don't want to ask.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what? He didn't technically leave it to me. I just took it.

[Christy Lee]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

What if I went against it? Like, what if he really wanted Joe or John or Jeff, one of my brothers, to have.

[Christy Lee]

Well.

[Chick McGee]

And you say it's unplayable.

[Josh Arnold]

There's something. It's a little warped in some area. Dean was telling me that he took it to a guy and he knows so many people, you know, they were like, yeah, you probably just need a new one, but I'm gonna keep that one.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

Shadow box it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't it like crazy heavy or something?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah. But as you said, into the stud.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Gotta put it in.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's cool. Did your father play it?

[Josh Arnold]

He did, yeah. Yeah. And he got okay.

[Tom Griswold]

But never did he ever ment the fact that when he started playing the banjo in Vietnam, they seemed to be. The attacks would increase. Yes, they would.

[Josh Arnold]

Often.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what I thought.

[Josh Arnold]

Keep it down over there.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have your dad's signature anywhere? So you could get a plaque made and you could put it in a shadow box and people would come over and go, wow, whose banjo was that? It signed and everything.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Larry Arnold, he, he taught Scruggs everything he knew.

[Tom Griswold]

Used to be flatten Arnold.

[Chick McGee]

Do you remember any specific song that he played?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't, no. No. But I would hear him kind of, you know, messing around a little bit.

[Chick McGee]

Was he singing along with it or.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't hear that. I don't remember hearing him sing to that. But I would hear him sing.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought he played the banjo for Dolly Parton. Isn't that. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

And they were.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry. I'm way wrong on this. I'm sorry.

[Chick McGee]

That hurt my ears and that was kind of low.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't say. Well, Dolly sang it. Oh, my God. It's exquisite.

[Chick McGee]

Coming. Comedian Henry Phillips will be joining us. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Want to share a letter or comment? Our email is Bob and Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Bobandtom.com 95 welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, there's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

Gonna have a nice song this this time.

[Pat Godwin]

We've been planning something.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Cooking right here.

[Tom Griswold]

That's exciting. There's Josh Arnold. Hello. Ace Cosby. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Chick McGee. Now, Christy was on a little vacation with a family and. But she's back. But you did miss an important story, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

I missed a lot. I haven't watched the news or anything. What?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm not sure this one made the national news. Okay. Took place in Iowa. A animal rescue group responded to a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant where there was a confused hen running around.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, she didn't want to be fried up.

[Chick McGee]

The Animal Rescue League of Iowa said an officer was called to rescue the, quote, poor, confused hand in front of the chicken wing restaurant. This was in Des Moines.

[Tom Griswold]

Hands always look confused, though.

[Christy Lee]

They do. You're right. They don't run in a straight line.

[Chick McGee]

And this group does an animal rescue and they do a lot of chickens because people get them and then they decide they don't really want the whole thing with the backyard chicken thing. Get out of here, chicken. But now, Pat, as I recall, you had a tribute.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I got something here. Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm a chicken. What's in the things? I hear that sauce things and Wild wings. Wild wings. I think you're buffalo meat, but I want to know for sure. Smells like chicken. Wait a minute. Wild wings I went to kfc, but I'm a chicken. I can't read. Christy Lee, what does the C mean in kfc? Kfc? You taste so crispy, but I feel like Brad Pitt. What's in the box?

[Tom Griswold]

Tell me.

[Chick McGee]

Wild Wings chicken. Oh, thank you very much, Pat.

[Christy Lee]

Little hen.

[Chick McGee]

Time now to segue into the world of Sports with Chick McGee.

[Christy Lee]

You can adopt a hen somewhere.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no.

[Pat Godwin]

That's absolutely serious animal.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Hands cutting around. Running around like a chicken with his head cut off. They're always look anxious.

[Chick McGee]

They. They have an adopting service for.

[Christy Lee]

For chickens.

[Tom Griswold]

Chicken.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of people you. This is the thing where they're getting these backyard chickens and that's not it. Not. It's not for everybody.

[Christy Lee]

Well, this goes to that house by me. Their chickens just run wild. How do they not just leave? That's what I've always wondered. But there's no fence.

[Tom Griswold]

They can't fly very far. They can fly, but not very well and not very far. Well, because they have the chicken flying contest at Bob Evans Farm in southern Ohio every year where they take the chickens up to this mailbox.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not making this up. I'm gonna say it's 20ft in the air.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Chicken in one side and take a toilet plunger and push them out of the mailbox the other way and see how far they can fly.

[Josh Arnold]

That's higher than I would have. I would.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd say it's 20ft.

[Josh Arnold]

I was guessing they couldn't go much higher than a person.

[Christy Lee]

Me too.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's why they have to have it up in the air so they can.

[Chick McGee]

And the animal cruelty people have a.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I don't think.

[Christy Lee]

They don't break their little legs.

[Josh Arnold]

It must not be cruel to them. Yeah. Who knows?

[Tom Griswold]

They. They catch themselves enough with their wings so they don't have to break anything.

[Chick McGee]

In theory. I bet there's a couple that are.

[Josh Arnold]

They don't get them.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, they drop like an anvil.

[Henry Phillips]

That's true.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh?

[Pat Godwin]

The mailbox.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the way I understand it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I think there. I think there should be. I think there should be video. This is a huge festival. I think it's Gallipoli or Gallipolis or however you say it, at Rio Grande in southern Ohio.

[Chick McGee]

We can check it out. But can we check it out?

[Tom Griswold]

Can I go and watch it and report on it?

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

We're live here at the chicken flying contest.

[Chick McGee]

I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, we. Do we have any sporting news?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I know what you're all saying. You're saying, boy, the NBA season, it's been a long off season. Is there going to be something that's going to happen so we can get back into the swing for the NBA season? Well, I have just what you need. Tomorrow is the NBA draft.

[Christy Lee]

Jeez, what the hell?

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. Tomorrow and Thursday in New York City at the Barkley Center. It will be this year's NBA draft. Of course, Cooper Flag will be the number one pick by the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs won that questionable draft lottery earlier, it seems like a couple weeks ago. Now the top five picks, the Mavericks, Spurs, Sixers, Hornets and the.

[Henry Phillips]

And the Jazz at number five.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you believe that? It's the NBA draft already. The season is just. It's too long. Isn't the seat like giraffes next. The NBA season is too long.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, well, you're not going to get. You could argue that for almost everything. Maybe not football, but they're not going to get baseball.

[Tom Griswold]

Baseball's too long.

[Chick McGee]

They're not going to stop. Stop. No, they can't change it now.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they can't. You're right.

[Chick McGee]

NASCAR's got too many races that you could make all these arguments, but they're not.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you feel about the joke? Hey, that's a nascar.

[Chick McGee]

It's fine. I didn't recognize it as a joke, but thank you for putting in that category. Okay, Chick, I was not paying attention because I was looking up your.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Bob Evans Farm Festival Chicken flying count.

[Chick McGee]

The International Chicken Flying International.

[Tom Griswold]

I got a chicken from Canada.

[Chick McGee]

Launched in 1972. It ran for decades. That implies it's no longer happening.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a shame.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what they. Who could. Who would protest this?

[Chick McGee]

Chickens are categorized by weight and gently quote, flushed from a platform mailbox.

[Tom Griswold]

I told you.

[Chick McGee]

With handlers using nets to catch them.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

They must have added the nets angle.

[Chick McGee]

This is interesting. In 1979, a bantam named Lola B. Flew 302ft.

[Tom Griswold]

White classes legend. Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Breaking the previous record of 297. Earning a 500 prize.

[Josh Arnold]

That's pretty far.

[Tom Griswold]

Lola B. Did not see one dime of that.

[Chick McGee]

In 89.

[Tom Griswold]

A chick had a crooked agent. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

A chicken named Judy went 542ft, shattering the prior marks, netting eleven hundred dollars for their own.

[Josh Arnold]

How about that big booty Judy?

[Pat Godwin]

Plucky chicken.

[Chick McGee]

I can't tell if it's. If it's still running.

[Tom Griswold]

But this goes back to your problem with the turkeys being pardoned for Thanksgiving. And the protests. And so they pardon one and they kill one. But they. Who would protest? Chickens treated this way. You know how many millions of chickens we kill a day? An hour.

[Chick McGee]

Well, the Bob Evans International Chicken Flying Contest is no longer being held. It was officially discontinued in 1994 following protests and concerns from animal welfare groups.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, they'll ruin some fun, those groups. I mean, think about the first one.

[Tom Griswold]

Who hasn't enjoyed a nugget.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, well, think of all the joy we'd have going to a zoo and seeing smoking monkeys. And because of these groups, our children will never know. No, the joy of seeing a smoking monkey, a chimpanzee, pull out a bag.

[Tom Griswold]

Of cigarettes, tap him on his hand.

[Chick McGee]

Right, Right.

[Pat Godwin]

Makes a lot of human beings happy.

[Chick McGee]

To see.

[Tom Griswold]

An animal Rights zealots.

[Pat Godwin]

Gone is the diving horse in Atlantic City, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I saw that one.

[Pat Godwin]

You saw it?

[Christy Lee]

Not in Atlantic City, but they. It would tour.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen the parachuting dog video?

[Henry Phillips]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

I saw a dog catch a fish with using a fishing pole recently. He had some help from his owner, but, boy, gosh, if he didn't land a bass.

[Christy Lee]

Is that with the lady fishing? Is that the one with the.

[Josh Arnold]

It was a guy.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, well, so sorry, chick. No more Chicken Flying Company.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's a.

[Josh Arnold]

That is a.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a. Damn.

[Josh Arnold]

We should start our own.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, good idea.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Right out here we can get Bob Evans.

[Tom Griswold]

God knows you got the room.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, leave Bob Evans out of this. We'll just serve chicken salad from a gas station nearby. That's Jake's favorite.

[Pat Godwin]

Daring enough.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why we go over to the Wawa. We'll get some chicken salad. We'll go nuts.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, maybe some egg salad.

[Tom Griswold]

How could they protest this with a straight face? I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, maybe it does cause undue stress to the birds. Who knows?

[Tom Griswold]

Come on.

[Chick McGee]

It's just. It's just not worth it. Bob Evans has better things to do than worried about getting bad publicity for having some fun with some chickens.

[Christy Lee]

What if they catch it?

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, well, then they crash to the earth and break their neck, I'm sure, but.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we can't watch the chickens fly, Kids. You guys want to go to Bob Evans and eat some chicken?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Right.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it is a weird thing.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no, I got a nice little. I don't have it with me. Got a really nice letter from a guy who just bought his mom a case of Java House coffee. And she loved it. And it'd be really nice if I had the letter, but I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

I can tell you this though, in your other pants. What do you mean?

[Chick McGee]

This portion of the Bob and Tom show is brought brought to you by Java House. That's the official coffee of the Bob and Tom Show. In fact, the official refreshments. You'll notice in a minute. I have been drinking this. I've got a tea over here and this is my hydration drink that I enjoy these very much. I highly recommend them. This is the blue arctic freeze. Add a little water. The beauty of Java House is you don't have to put it through a contraption to get your coffee or your tea or your latte. It's peel and pour. Here we go. Here's a pod. It's a little bit slightly bigger than one of the Keurig cup things. And this pod has got concentrated coffee. This one happens to be the cold brew Colombian medium roast. And it is amazingly smooth. And you can find out all about it by going to javahouse.com and by the way, they've got a little tab there. You can click on Java House for your office and perhaps you could get yourself a free inoffice demo javahouse.com They've got Coco energy drinks, hydration drinks, teas, lattes and of course coffee. Lots of different kinds of coffee. And I learned a little something, cold brew. And I always thought that was iced coffee. It is not. That's the way the coffee is brewed to remove the bitterness. So if you're interested in a cold brew or a nice hot coffee, check out Java House, the official coffee of the Bob and Tom Show. And I'm really enjoying this hydration. It's been become kind of my new thing to do during the mornings. They also have energy drinks. I don't need an energy drink. I, if I talked any faster, I draw a lot of air. We certainly appreciate Java House. I think you'll like them. Java House.com, click on that Java House for your office tab and sign up. Maybe you can get that free in office demo. Coming up, we'll be joined by comedian Henry Phillips. We have the world's largest camera in the news.

[Tom Griswold]

And who is Dickie Lovelady and why are people talking about him?

[Chick McGee]

Is this a sporting show?

[Tom Griswold]

Dickie Love lady.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, that's right. I'm very curious.

[Tom Griswold]

Actual person.

[Chick McGee]

We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

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

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Jake.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Pat. Godwin Hello. Josh. Arnold.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

We're in the Riley Auto Parts studios. There's Ace.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

And hello Tom.

[Chick McGee]

Coming up, nudity in the news.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh boy.

[Chick McGee]

Nudity news. But right now, something special on the big screen to my right, it's. Oh, Ted said everybody. Hey, Ed, how are you?

[Josh Arnold]

I am good. I'm. I wanted to zoom in real quick, you know, it's me and Septic. The events I picked up.

[Tom Griswold]

You okay?

[Chick McGee]

You okay?

[Tom Griswold]

Head.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you know me. I'm the plumber. Won't banger bang your pipes, only your wife. Wait, I think I got that back.

[Chick McGee]

Are you drunk?

[Josh Arnold]

I may have had a few this morning. Hey, just for the record, while I'm in your home, not only am I not banging your wife, I also won't kick your dog. Oh, I just want to let you know. I also want to let you know.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, that kind of implies that there was a problem.

[Josh Arnold]

I also realized curse in front of your kids or shake your crying baby. Compete a Pete's plumbing and pipe say that? I don't think so, pizza hack.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that that's right.

[Josh Arnold]

It's barbecue season. And that's why this month only I'm running the ad Septic beat my meat special with the purchase of a new tankless water heater. I'm throwing in a free side of beef. That's a seventeen hundred dollar value. How can I do that? As my old friend Don Davis would always say, I'm not here to make any money folks. I just love tankless water heaters. So call me ed. Septic. 888 down the brown. We got my niece Krista answering phones today. She's got a baby on the way and we're trying to help her save some money for cosmetology school this fall. Oh yeah, yeah, I know. Try to help a girl out. Remember, I'm the plumber. Won't bang your wife, kick your dog or punch your baby. You don't hear the other plumbing companies say that because they can't. So order today. Take advantage of my beat my meat summer special. As we say here at end Septic plumbing and supply, we want a tankless water heater in your home and our meat in your mouth. Have a good one, Bob. And sounds like a heck of a deal.

[Christy Lee]

I. I was just thinking this morning, I need a tankless water heater.

[Chick McGee]

I should call it they're the best man.

[Christy Lee]

I takes forever for my water to get hot. I need to get.

[Tom Griswold]

They had. I forget which house it was there that years when I Changed houses. Like I changed socks. You know, one of those houses had like a re.

[Chick McGee]

A recirc.

[Tom Griswold]

They call it recirculation, where the water's always hot no matter where you are in the house. It was the best damn thing I ever had.

[Christy Lee]

I need that.

[Tom Griswold]

It was wonderful.

[Chick McGee]

Tankless water heater. Fantastic.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And I had to replace in my old house the regular water heater. And those have a really interesting way that they tell you that you need a new one. And what it is is they, in my case, emptied all over.

[Henry Phillips]

Sure. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

They leak.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Fortunately, it was the big one.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I recently replaced hot water heater, and I didn't. So I was fiddling with it, and you know, I'm gonna go down. You touched it? Oh, yeah, I touched it. I tried to start it again, the whole thing. So then I called the guy, and the guy comes out and he goes, well, here's your problem. And I didn't even notice that there's a pan underneath your. And then they have it on blocks so it stays off the ground. And he goes, pat, pat. And it's just soaked. And I had no idea. I just walked right by it. There's like two feet of water underneath.

[Chick McGee]

But when you're a kid. We were talking about this before, how until you become an adult, you don't even. You have no awareness of anything like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

I. I stupidly assumed that the hot water came from the water department. They had two pipes coming in.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no way. Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

I. I was an idiot.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

I remain one, by the way.

[Josh Arnold]

Why wouldn't a kid think.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, why wouldn't you?

[Chick McGee]

But, I mean, it's not just kids, but you're, you know, 18. You're, you know, whatever, going to trade school or college or whatever. There's a lot of basic stuff that we just don't know.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But that's the sort of thing. There should be a special class in high school that teaches you all that stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

If you had to do you think if you absolutely had to, you think you could change your oil?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I've done that.

[Tom Griswold]

You've changed oil?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if I could do it on my car now. Yeah, well, cars are a little more complicated, kind of different now.

[Tom Griswold]

There's probably a computer chip switch out to change the oil.

[Christy Lee]

I would guess you've gotten on one of those little carts and shimmied underneath.

[Chick McGee]

The car, and those are a blast. Yeah. The first time I had one, I just about did a backwards prone Skateboard into Duffield Road where I grew up.

[Josh Arnold]

One time I did it. I did not have one of those. Just had a shimmy under the car.

[Tom Griswold]

No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah. But I won't ever do that again.

[Chick McGee]

It's one of my favorite words.

[Christy Lee]

Shimmy, shimmy.

[Chick McGee]

There's a great scene in the movie, my favorite year. He's going shimmy. It's, it's, there's, it's terrific.

[Josh Arnold]

Is the price point for a tankless water heater. Like, are we talking the difference between first a first class seat on a plane? And.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's competitive. I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what it is.

[Chick McGee]

Check local listings. I don't know.

[Pat Godwin]

I think it depends on the job. Sometimes it's a tankless job.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sometimes it is.

[Chick McGee]

You know that, don't you suppose guys that. Guys that install that hear that joke every day.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I'm sorry, what? What did you say?

[Josh Arnold]

He called you a hack.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you say that was a joke?

[Josh Arnold]

They called you a hack comedy helper over here.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no. It's just one of those things that we were talking about the other day that you hear a lot. No, that was very nice, Pat. Thank you very much. We're going to return to the sports.

[Tom Griswold]

Page with Chick Magee from New York City. The Big Apple.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

City with the big pants.

[Josh Arnold]

The city that never sleeps.

[Tom Griswold]

That's him. What?

[Chick McGee]

Wendy, first things first.

[Tom Griswold]

Richard Lovejoy wants to be called Richard all format communications, the scoreboard, the television and imprint. If you run into him on the street or at the ballpark, feel free to use his nickname, Dickie. Dickie Lovelady.

[Josh Arnold]

So Dickie Love Lady.

[Tom Griswold]

Did I say Richard Lovejoy? I meant Richard Lovelady. He's the new pitcher for the New York Mets. He just acquired over the weekend. On a baseball card, I will go by Richard Lovelady. But he says. I understand, I get it. There's going to be a lot of people wanting to call me Dickie Love lady. And that's fine.

[Chick McGee]

That's his real actual name.

[Tom Griswold]

Richard Lovelady is his name.

[Pat Godwin]

Dick Lovelady.

[Tom Griswold]

Dick Lovelace.

[Christy Lee]

Poor guy.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Lady Love Dick.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's never heard that.

[Tom Griswold]

Pitching for the Twins AAA St. Paul affiliate earlier in the season, he 1.31 ERA, 19 appearances held left handed batters. He did real well.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

So there you go. That's your new pitcher in the major leagues. They need them to go along with the big dumper. Remember him? The Mariners guy, Cal? What's his name? I forget his Name.

[Josh Arnold]

He's the guy with a great ass.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. Al Pacino.

[Pat Godwin]

In the scent of a woman.

[Josh Arnold]

Heat. Oh, heat.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

As Kevin Durant has been traded to the Houston Rockets, one of the few teams that he has not played for, which is very exciting.

[Christy Lee]

Isn't he about 50 by now?

[Tom Griswold]

He is 36, 37.

[Josh Arnold]

That's 50 in NBA years.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

As a freshman, 19 year old freshman, he won a player of the year. Did you know? That's exactly right. And. Oh, here we go. Ready, set. Stupid world record. I don't know which one to do first. They're equally idiotic. I'm gonna go with this one. A 19 year old from Spain has grown the world's heaviest cantaloupe.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, cantaloupe.

[Tom Griswold]

Knock, knock.

[Josh Arnold]

Who's there?

[Tom Griswold]

Cantaloupe. Cantaloupe. Tonight dad has the ladder.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody?

[Chick McGee]

And you didn't want to do this story.

[Tom Griswold]

According to Guinness, Lorenk, Llorc and Rover produced a melon weighing 69 pounds, 5.28 ounces. Which is heavier than the average golden retriever. 66 pounds. Or a washing machine also weighs 66 pounds.

[Chick McGee]

That gives you a something to compare it to. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

There's a heavier melon out there, is there? Carnegie.

[Chick McGee]

Carnegie melon.

[Tom Griswold]

Your thoughts?

[Josh Arnold]

Tom weighs ways more Carnegie.

[Chick McGee]

You. Haven't I ever told you the story? My. A friend of mine, I better be careful here.

[Tom Griswold]

His wife has big melons.

[Chick McGee]

Married a woman who was.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Substantially endowed in the breast area.

[Henry Phillips]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

And with great disdain for. Based on her soul and her lack of a moral core and her awful personality. We referred to her as Carnegie melons.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, yes.

[Chick McGee]

It was a code between this one friend and yours truly. I don't want to go into too much detail, but fortunately my friend that married her, divorced her. But it's a long, very painful story. But we always refer to her as Carnegie melons.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, I like it.

[Christy Lee]

Listen by those melons. Or was she born.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, she was. She was born.

[Josh Arnold]

Organic melons.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Once again she traded her soul for those. Apparently.

[Tom Griswold]

Listen to this sentence and see if you can guess who wrote it.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Lorent Andover unveiled his prize fruit at the Ruffino Pineda Mendoza watermelon and melon competition in Villanueva de la Serena. Where the hell is that?

[Chick McGee]

This is like the running of the bulls for melons. I'm surprised Hemingway didn't write about this.

[Tom Griswold]

So there's a watermelon. A water. They differ between watermelons and melons. There's.

[Chick McGee]

Now there's a picture of the guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Guy.

[Chick McGee]

Look at the size of those melons.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it sure doesn't look like a cantaloupe. No, not the cantaloupe we know.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it looks like a watermelon.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's not a watermelon or a green pumpkin.

[Tom Griswold]

You sure you got a cantaloupe there, bud?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's a cantaloupe.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

You know what they say, the old phrase, even if he loves them, a man and his melons can't elope.

[Christy Lee]

You have a song for us?

[Josh Arnold]

You would kind of COVID that ground, Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

You guys are judges. Which did you like better, that one or mine?

[Christy Lee]

Yours.

[Tom Griswold]

The dad's got bladders.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom's was.

[Chick McGee]

Mine's an old saying. I had nothing to do with it.

[Josh Arnold]

That's exactly what when you write, I mean. He wasn't trying to go for comedy.

[Chick McGee]

I could call a friend, have him translated into the original Spanish.

[Tom Griswold]

He was just sharing. Here's Pat.

[Pat Godwin]

This takes me back to when I was a kid and we had a county fair up in Ricketts Glen. And there was a girl that had the biggest melons at this fair.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, really?

[Pat Godwin]

She should have won prizes. Saw girl at the fair. She had the biggest ones I've ever seen. If the Golden Globes was for those oh, she'd win if you know what I mean. Couldn't help but stare oh. Cause she's got award winning melons but her boyfriend is a felon and looks like Charlie Sheen. But honey, do you wanna split this scene? If you can grow things that big at home, maybe it'll work on me.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, cantaloupe without a girl. Can I touch those melons? On the tilted world don't keep those cassavas hidden Pull em out and win a blue ribbon. If the Golden Globes were for Golden Globes she'd win if you know what I mean. Oh, I couldn't be much clearer. Girl, take a look in the mirror. You got the biggest juiciest set of melons I've ever seen.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah.

[Chick McGee]

A tinge of sadness on the tilta world. Thank you. Thank you. Hello again. If you're just joining us, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom program Two for Tuesday. Oh boy.

[Tom Griswold]

And Argentinian man has broken the Guinness World record for the most pubs visited in 24 hours. Martin Perez managed to visit a total.

[Josh Arnold]

Of.

[Tom Griswold]

152 bar in Buenos Aires over the course of an entire day, smashing the previous record of 120 he said these records are damped.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. I didn't know we had actual audio.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it's a personal tribute to the city I love and where I was born and I still live. To earn the title, applicants don't need to order an alcoholic. This is the disclaimer.

[Pat Godwin]

You have to have a drink that.

[Tom Griswold]

Cheapens this entire experience.

[Christy Lee]

Didn't have to have a drink.

[Tom Griswold]

To earn the title, applicants don't need to order an alcoholic drink at every establishment. Any drinks are allowed as long as they meet the minimum of 0.2 pints or 125ml.

[Chick McGee]

So does he have to drink whatever he. That's the thing.

[Josh Arnold]

He has to drink that amount everywhere, every goes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what it sounds like. I don't know. We could have the reporting on this story.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of urine, slipshod at best. A lot of urinating would be involved. Pat, do you feel. Is this kind of a.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't seem like a bar crawl guy to me.

[Chick McGee]

Will an Irish person take this personally? Believe it, this record.

[Pat Godwin]

Irish people pretty much stay in one place.

[Josh Arnold]

They do, yeah. They'll just go to their pub, their Cherry.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. So I see. So this is a. A South American thing. Well, so the guide is not necessarily a raging alcoholic.

[Tom Griswold]

Not necessarily, but.

[Pat Godwin]

Contest could kill somebody.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it could. You're right.

[Tom Griswold]

That's more pubs than most.

[Henry Phillips]

Most.

[Tom Griswold]

Most cities have.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's an astounding 152 bars.

[Pat Godwin]

You go to Epcot and drink the drink the. Around the world.

[Chick McGee]

That's hard.

[Tom Griswold]

But what is that, like 13 beers or something? Or however many.

[Chick McGee]

Have you done the Drink around the World showcase?

[Christy Lee]

Me?

[Pat Godwin]

Yep.

[Christy Lee]

A few times, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, oh. Don't you know you made it.

[Josh Arnold]

It's not easy.

[Christy Lee]

Well, here's what we did. After a while we started letting the girls get to split a beer in every country.

[Chick McGee]

Country.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Because it was. I could. I couldn't make it. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And how many countries are there in Epcot?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. That's a great question.

[Pat Godwin]

14 or 15. I know I did it with my.

[Chick McGee]

Well, they closed.

[Christy Lee]

I know they closed.

[Chick McGee]

They closed Iran down Sunday.

[Josh Arnold]

You think you invented that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think that happened.

[Christy Lee]

There's a really good chance that you.

[Pat Godwin]

Invented the drinking around the world.

[Christy Lee]

Not me, but the group of people. People. There are 11 country pavilions.

[Chick McGee]

10. Now, once again, we are trying to.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they're not totally closed.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, in Canada. Part of America too now.

[Josh Arnold]

So I know they're throwing bottles at guitar.

[Christy Lee]

I know we got thrown out during one of those around the world.

[Pat Godwin]

I had a fight in Japan.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you've had a fight in every country.

[Christy Lee]

And Morocco didn't serve alcohol for quite.

[Tom Griswold]

A while, so then they got wise.

[Christy Lee]

Then they did get wise.

[Josh Arnold]

How come nobody's visiting us?

[Pat Godwin]

We're losing money.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. They should put a casino in like in the movie Casablanca.

[Josh Arnold]

That would be cool.

[Christy Lee]

That would be cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Rick's American Cafe.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

There's no gambling in here.

[Chick McGee]

Here, your winnings.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's your winnings, General.

[Chick McGee]

I know it wasn't Peter way. We prefer it that way.

[Tom Griswold]

I love Peter Laurie in that.

[Chick McGee]

Coming up, comedian Henry Phillips will be joining us. And we have some fascinating things in the world of news. We have another guy stuck in a chimney. Idiot.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'll tell you how they. How you die if you get stuck in a chimney.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, we'll look forward to that. Plus, we have lightning striking and it meets an obituary, oddly enough.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. That's right.

[Chick McGee]

No, no. But the guy that got hit by lightning lived.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow.

[Chick McGee]

This is. This is a conundrum almost. Wait a minute. Or something like that. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I know that for sure. And this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

More of the show is on. You can find us on X obandtom or you can email us@bob and tomobandtom.com. hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace Cosby. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick and Tom. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have a Baba Tom Legend in the studio with us.

[Chick McGee]

I haven't seen him for a long time. He's a very handsome man, very talented man, and he's a grizzled veteran all of a sudden. Yeah, he's. He is a comedian, singer, songwriter. Henry Phillips. Henry, it's not going.

[Henry Phillips]

Hey, what's up, guys? It's wonderful to be back and good to see everybody.

[Chick McGee]

Native of Los Angeles.

[Henry Phillips]

Native New Yorker. And then we moved out to Los Angeles when I was, I guess it was about 12. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

From a show business family.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, My dad was a character actor.

[Chick McGee]

He was most famous for.

[Henry Phillips]

Did most famous for playing the bad guy in the movie Porky's 2. He was the preacher that tried to shut down the, the Shakespeare play that they were doing.

[Josh Arnold]

And please a Porky's Two the next day.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. So you've seen It. Okay, good.

[Tom Griswold]

So they just went with you're the guy who saw.

[Henry Phillips]

But no, I will say that he did a lot of tv.

[Chick McGee]

He was, he was a good actor.

[Henry Phillips]

He was auditioning for the part of the coach and they liked him a lot in Cheers, but the Porky's thing came and then he decided to take that.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's a good thing he didn't take the role of coach because that guy died.

[Henry Phillips]

That's true. That's what my dad says or said for many years to justify his decision making.

[Chick McGee]

Well, Henry, it's certainly good to see you again. And yeah, maybe we'll get your guitar out.

[Henry Phillips]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Godwin's guitar.

[Henry Phillips]

Pat said I could borrow his.

[Pat Godwin]

Absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Have we completed what is considered to be a sports broadcast?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thank you for putting it that way. I appreciate that. It cheapens it all at once. Thank you. Yes, that's sports for right now. I see bulletins as they happen.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, good, good to. Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance news desk. Perhaps we could entertain with a news story of interest to some.

[Christy Lee]

I just got back from what some would call a vacation. If your mind is already on your next vacation or three, you're in good company. A new talker research survey of 2,000Americans finds the average person currently thinking about four different trips with two already in the works. Yep. Two thirds say the anticipation of a vacation is just as good, if not better than the trip itself. That's interesting. Many report feeling a post vacation funk.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the worst thing about vacations, you have to travel.

[Josh Arnold]

That can be stressful.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Half the fun is getting there. No, no, it's not.

[Chick McGee]

Now, how old were you the first time you got on an airplane?

[Tom Griswold]

I worked here actually, so 30.

[Christy Lee]

Wow. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

28, 29 years old. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you excited or nervous?

[Tom Griswold]

I was flying to New York City where Henry was born to see Neil diamond at the Madison Square Garden.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, I did. Yeah, I took some winners out there. Yep.

[Henry Phillips]

What year, what year was that?

[Tom Griswold]

86. 88. Yeah, it must have been 86. That's the only year I worked down there, so. Yeah, 1986.

[Chick McGee]

Amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

29 years old, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Well, my grandparents moved to California, Oceanside, when I was eight, so.

[Tom Griswold]

Eight.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, nice there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now Pat, I know that perhaps Henry doesn't know this. You famously took a bus, Greyhound bus.

[Pat Godwin]

From South Bend to Los Angeles.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice.

[Chick McGee]

Three days.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what?

[Henry Phillips]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

People say you know, bus travel, but that's the only way to really get get to LA is on a bus.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't cheat yourself because you can meet.

[Henry Phillips]

A lot of people that'll protect you when you get there.

[Tom Griswold]

That's exactly right.

[Pat Godwin]

Stops everywhere.

[Christy Lee]

That stops like every hour.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Since. Since Henry Phillips this year with us. Henry is a fine guitar player and singer and song. You should perhaps tell him a brief story of your getting onto the bus and how that went.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, it was a long time ago, so these are different times. People smoked on the bus. I started playing guitar at the age of 20 and I needed to catch up, so I carried it with me everywhere and I was going to take it to Los Angeles with me to become a big star.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Pat Godwin]

And I get to the. The bus depot there and it's already packed and I'm there with my guitar in my backpack and I walk up on the bus and the lady in the back goes, hey, look, it's John Denver. The whole bus cracked up. And ever since then, I don't want.

[Tom Griswold]

To carry a guitar anymore.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, no, it's miserable. We. We can commiserate on that.

[Pat Godwin]

What do you got in that case there? Are you playing in the lounge tonight?

[Christy Lee]

Did you play for your fellow passengers?

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, do they have bathrooms on those buses?

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And they're not. They're just like. It's not as. It's the same as an airplane bathroom, almost pretty much.

[Tom Griswold]

It's difficult to do any major transaction in there.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. A bus must not have the negative. Sort of. Put it this way. There's that company called Airbus, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, yeah. Don't they call just a lot of planes in Airbus?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but I mean, there's. There is that big company and it just seems to me the American sensibility. Bus is not considered the way to go.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Airbus is a British company, aren't they?

[Josh Arnold]

I thought it takes a while.

[Chick McGee]

European, I think. But I just. Just the name bus. It doesn't. You don't associate it with pleasant travel anymore?

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, yeah, no. And it like I, I took one from. Let's see, I guess it was Tallahassee, Florida to New Orleans one time I was on a budget and I was sitting next to a guy and it's funny because the. In the, in the first couple of minutes I was just like, you know, doing that thing where I don't want to touch anybody. You know, I just want to keep to myself and just like, even if my arm just brushes up against a stranger, I don't like it. I just kind of put. But after about 13 hours and we're still in the panhandle, basically I basically have my head nuzzled in his armpit. I'm like, are we there yet? You just get real comfortable after a while. But yeah, no, that. That was ridiculous. I like the Amtrak though. I've done that a lot.

[Christy Lee]

I do too. I love the track.

[Henry Phillips]

I took one from here to LA one time and yeah, the Amtrak. Now I think your. Your vacation does start as soon as you get on the train as opposed to the plane. The plane doesn't start till you get to your location. But Amtrak. Yeah. Especially if you're into cheap, cheap things. You can get a beer, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Did you have a sleeper car?

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. You got to do that.

[Christy Lee]

I've never done. Always wanted to do a sleeper car.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh yeah. And when I was on the Amtrak they were telling me apparently Dan Aykroyd and also Kirsty Alley, they used to. All the employees were like, oh, they're on here all the time. You know, apparently that's a. They're. There's some celebrities that. That's the only way they like to travel.

[Tom Griswold]

And aren't. Isn't train travel. It's very sexual erotic for some.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh yeah. There was some steamy stuff going on in my sleeper room.

[Chick McGee]

I think you could say that certainly.

[Tom Griswold]

That the rocking of the train.

[Chick McGee]

There are better scenes on. In movies on board trains than on board planes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, those. Especially the old movies. Those just awesome.

[Christy Lee]

What about the like the Orient Express? That's. That's strange.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think you can say that anymore.

[Henry Phillips]

It's.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Pat Godwin]

Orient as a carpet.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You mean Oriental.

[Christy Lee]

Oriental.

[Henry Phillips]

But you know what.

[Chick McGee]

And that's. By the way, that's no longer valid but. Arg.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. My. My sleeper car out to la. Let's just say it was. The house was rocking and don't come down.

[Christy Lee]

Did you pick up a train?

[Henry Phillips]

Well, no, I was by myself. But it's still got a.

[Pat Godwin]

It's got a one track.

[Chick McGee]

M. His watch was ticking and the mattress was ticking.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We're t. So this. The point of this story is that vacations people. They think about their next vacation while on vacation pretty much.

[Christy Lee]

And that they already have four different trips and two of them in the work. So they're thinking about four.

[Josh Arnold]

I think I fall inside of this. I'm going to the Lake of the Ozarks, 4th of July and I'm already thinking about though how in October I'd like to go to Universal Studios.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I have two trips already planned.

[Josh Arnold]

Three.

[Chick McGee]

I don't have my summer vacation planned yet.

[Christy Lee]

You're going to.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you're going where they tell you two.

[Chick McGee]

I'm going to. I'm going to London for two days.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's. That's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Which arguably is the worst way to go to London.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Why don't you go just for one day? Why waste another day that last time. Yeah. Not.

[Christy Lee]

Why don't you take some time and enjoy yourself?

[Chick McGee]

I'll enjoy myself.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. This vacation. None of this stuff in the story works for me.

[Josh Arnold]

I. You're already going to London next week and then you have it. You know, you have a summer vacation coming up that kind of applies.

[Christy Lee]

But you don't know where you're going.

[Chick McGee]

No, I haven't figured that out yet.

[Josh Arnold]

They'll tell you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the place I was going to go, they had another shark attack. So I think I'm going to pass.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool.

[Christy Lee]

Are you going to Hilton Head?

[Josh Arnold]

Oddly enough, it was in Topeka.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, is that odd?

[Christy Lee]

That is odd.

[Chick McGee]

That shark wanted. Yeah, he wanted that little girl.

[Josh Arnold]

They're getting smarter.

[Tom Griswold]

Must keep swimming. Must keep.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So is this the thing? What the worst thing about a vacation.

[Christy Lee]

Is this says in true Type A fashion, 30 are already planning their next trip while they're still on vacation.

[Chick McGee]

This is like someone talking about dinner while eating lunch. Yeah, no, thanks.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

So, Josh, you're going to Universal.

[Josh Arnold]

I hope to.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. They have a whole new thing, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And they have haunted houses on.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Time.

[Josh Arnold]

So I want to go to the new. New place and the haunted house.

[Chick McGee]

They got a new Harry Potter thing going.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And Universal Monsters. That's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I was there last year. It was great.

[Christy Lee]

What's Universal Monsters?

[Josh Arnold]

It's part of the epic universe. It's called Dark Universe. And it's, you know, they have like a wolf man and Frankenstein and Dracula ride.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Josh Arnold]

So should be fun.

[Tom Griswold]

You can ride a. You can ride a real wolf man.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's exciting.

[Christy Lee]

You grab a Frankenstein like build a bear.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, exactly.

[Chick McGee]

Look at the wolf men right here. Just saying hi.

[Henry Phillips]

Hello there.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to break that thing, I swear.

[Henry Phillips]

Hello there.

[Chick McGee]

Coming up, we'll get a song out of our guest comedian Henry Phillips hanging out with us. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Got a comment to share? Text us at 888-262-8661. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

White masonry.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance News down there's Pat Godwin Josh Arnold. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. We've got a special guest.

[Chick McGee]

He is a singer, songwriter. Henry Phillips has joined us in the studio, an old friend of the show.

[Josh Arnold]

Thanks.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we go back more than 25 years.

[Henry Phillips]

I'd say about that 2000, I think, and 1999.

[Chick McGee]

I'm gonna read this letter because it kind of reminds. I don't know why this reminds me of how.

[Henry Phillips]

Henry.

[Christy Lee]

This ought to be good.

[Chick McGee]

There's just something about this.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

This is from Mitch. Dear Bob and Tom show. I was in a coma for 10 days last March.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, Henry, sounds familiar.

[Chick McGee]

Due to. I'm not sure I'm going to pronounce this right. Necrotizing pneumonia.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, man, that is terrible.

[Josh Arnold]

That's when you get pneumonia and then it. Necromance advertiser.

[Chick McGee]

Necro is usually bad, right? Necrophilia. I know.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's not so bad. But the.

[Chick McGee]

I was on a ventilator for 10 days, writes Mitch. When I woke up, I thought I was in Mexico. By the way, he was in Springfield, Missouri. I immediately started hallucinating every night. One of the weird ones. There was a naked old guy with a sling on his arm sitting on a chair next to my bed. I hallucinated. His girlfriend was in full black latex.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

I was trying to talk to him about why they were in my room. Fascinating, not crazy. Yeah, that's Mitch. He says, go Cardinals. He's from Springfield.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. Go Cards. But, boy, how.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What is better?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Random letter. And there's something about it, Henry, that reminded me of you.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, yeah. I mean, it's funny because that's. That whole story is literally what my song is about.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

I'm just kidding. It's not about that. That would be a real coincidence.

[Chick McGee]

Haven't seen you in a while. Did you get married?

[Henry Phillips]

I did, yeah. And very happily. Yeah. The only. The only thing I want to say is that I don't think her parents like me very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. No, it's too bad. I mean, it's hard to tell. Well, just one example is, you know, there was one time that we took a selfie and then she sent it to her dad and he wrote back and she goes, oh. And I was like, what's that? Oh, yeah. He said something nice. I'm like, he said something nice because I don't think he likes me very much. Let me see what it was. And he said, he said that Henry sure is a lucky guy. And I'm like, babe, that's not a compliment at all. He's literally just saying I'm not worthy of his daughter. Somehow I tricked the system and got lucky and scammed everybody into this. Like, that's not. How did you see that? That was a nice compliment to me. And then her mom, very similar situation. I was like, so is your mom like me? I mean, what's going on there? And she goes, yeah, yeah. She says, you're fine. And I was like, well, how did she say it? And then he. She said. I asked her, what'd you think? And then she said, he's fine. What do you want me to say? So anyway, I'm getting. Well, I don't know. You know, they both. I mean, they're. They're a wonderful family. Her. Her dad and her brother literally built their house with their bare hands in a vacant lot. Like, they're those types of people, and they. They can't make anything out of me. They're like, so what do you do again? It's like I said, digital content creator. I don't know. Can I work for you? I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

But.

[Henry Phillips]

So, yeah, but. But. But actually, I know very happily, and it's. It's been a good time.

[Josh Arnold]

Good.

[Chick McGee]

And you are a digital content creator?

[Henry Phillips]

I guess I am now.

[Chick McGee]

You want to explain the name of your thing?

[Henry Phillips]

Yes. So about 14 years ago, I was in the throes of extreme depression and probably drinking way too much, and I was broke, and I started watching YouTube videos of people cooking, and I thought, well, you know, maybe this will be my thing. I could do this, you know, So I. I've never cooked before in my life, but I started teaching people how to make things like chili and asparagus and stuff like that, and it sort of took off. And at this point, I have more than 100,000 followers on YouTube, and I've got millions of views on some of these videos. And. And here I am 14 years later. I'm still broke, I still drink a lot, and I'm still in the throes of an extreme depression. But.

[Chick McGee]

But other than that, it's good. Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Other than that. Yeah, no, it's. It's been.

[Chick McGee]

Where do they find this?

[Henry Phillips]

A lot of fun. So this is if you put in Henry's Kitchen on YouTube, and I also have a website, Henry's Kitchen, and that's got my tour dates and all the social media and everything, but it's really fun. I. I got a Retweet from Snoop Dogg recently. That was interesting. And. And Slash and like every now and then there'll be some celebrity and they'll. They'll give me a shout out and it's. It's been a real adventure and I'm having a blast with it. But yeah, digital content creator, I guess it's very different.

[Chick McGee]

And you've got a guitar in your hand right now.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. So why don't I do, Since I am on a little mini tour here right now. Wait, do you guys hear that guitar?

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, Yeah, I hear it now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Okay, goose the volume a little bit on your end.

[Henry Phillips]

Sound all right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, sounds good.

[Henry Phillips]

I am on a little mini tour. Why don't I do this song here? This is a little song about that I used to sing for the ladies when I picked them up on dates. These are the things in my car all of the wonderful, wonderful things in my car A broken guitar A Cuban cigar Some pee in a jar Things in my car they may not be luxury but they are everything I need so come with me and you can see Things in my car so if I was lucky I'd bring the girl back to my apartment and I'd say sing this next verse here. These are the things in my apartment all of the wonderful things in my apartment A little compartment with a silk undergarment and pills for penile enlargement and a letter from the police department the things in my apartment there's some cat poo on the mat and I don't even have a cat so tell me what you think of that and the things in my apartment by now the girl would be long gone But I do this next song, this next part of the song by myself these are the things in my room all of the wonderful things in my room A dusty broom A Batman costume A book by Judy Blume A bag of mushrooms A general sense of impending doom like the things in my room they may not be luxury but they are all of the world to me so come and build a life with me and the things in my room.

[Tom Griswold]

The things.

[Henry Phillips]

In my room.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, that song is definitely. Got me some action.

[Pat Godwin]

That's a panty killer.

[Chick McGee]

You don't even have a cat.

[Christy Lee]

Do you wonder why your in laws don't like.

[Henry Phillips]

I know. Yeah, your in laws. No, I haven't. Maybe I should try.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe you should write him a song.

[Tom Griswold]

Woo.

[Chick McGee]

That.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, that'll. That'll seal the deal with them. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Henry is on the road. Naperville, Illinois Coming up this Saturday night at Danny's Pub and Grill. That'll be exciting.

[Henry Phillips]

It's a great time. I did it last year. It's just a really cool place. It's a Chicago suburb so it's close enough that you can, you can still get some Chicago dogs and pizza and all that stuff. But it's a great little spot. And yeah, I did it last year. It was a blast.

[Chick McGee]

So go see Henry. Be fun live and in person. Coming up on Saturday. Saturday. Coming up in the news. Krista Lee, what have you got over there?

[Christy Lee]

Well, if you have frequent nightmares, I have some really bad news for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh no.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Do you have frequent nightmares?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I don't know. Frequent nightly. Would that be frequent?

[Henry Phillips]

Yes, that would be. Yeah, it depends on. You should hear the story first because. Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

This means that you now you can't really do the story.

[Christy Lee]

We do have a guy who's stuck in me. We have a parrot with a filthy mouth up for adoption if you'd like one.

[Tom Griswold]

Those are the best parrots.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. We've got to get get it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh wouldn't that be great to have him in the studio. Blame everything on him for that. If the parrots.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

We can't help it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's a parent.

[Tom Griswold]

We had nothing to do with it. The parrot custom out.

[Chick McGee]

It is so funny how many of these parrots that's the first thing people teach them.

[Christy Lee]

You can find information about him all. You're all over the world of social media, which is interesting because I think socially, you, I, I think the word inept would be.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. No, I always have, I always seem to get, well, I get in these things where I try so hard to not stand out or to not get noticed that I actually stand out out way more. And I was at one point back in, in the height of my traveling, I was going around so much that I started getting places mixed up. Did you have that happen, Pat, where you just like this hotel looks just like the one and, you know, two states over or whatever. So for a little while I was doing the improv in Vegas and then the one in Tahoe back to back. And, and the layout was similar. The Harrah's in Vegas. You'd go in there to the hotel desk and right next to it there was a Starbucks. And the little secret was that there was a long staircase and if the line was too long, you'd go to the top and there'd be another Starbucks right there, which is crazy.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Henry Phillips]

And then in Tahoe, they had almost the exact same layout. They had the Starbucks and then there's the long staircase, but there isn't a Starbucks. So that part's gonna be important in a second.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Henry Phillips]

I was at the Improv in Tahoe at the Harvey's and I'm standing in line for the Starbucks. And it's one of those mornings where it's 50 people deep. You know, there's moms with crying babies and strollers and stuff. There's guys with skis. You know, it's a ski town, and everybody's just upset and they're doing that kind of small talk that you get in when you're waiting in a line. You know, what are they doing up there? They go kill the beans or whatever.

[Chick McGee]

That doesn't even make sense.

[Henry Phillips]

I don't think that's what he said, but something along those lines heckling. And I was like, you know what? Yeah, you're absolutely right. This is terrible. You know what I think I'm gonna do? I think I'm gonna go to the one upstairs, and this guy with the skis is like, wait, there's one upstairs? Yeah, I mean, you know, they might have a line up there, but it's not gonna be as long as this one. I can guarantee that. So I turn around, I start walking up this long flight of stairs, and I'm about halfway through, and I'm thinking to myself, wait a second, is this the one that has the Starbucks, or is this. And I turn around and there's like 15 people following me. It's like moms with strollers, babies, and there's guys with skis. And I'm like, oh, boy. And then I get to the top and there's like a conference room. There's nothing. There's just a whole lot of nothing. And everybody gets to the top. And I was like, oh, you know what? Maybe there's not a Starbucks here. Guy with the skis, like, honey, get our place in line. This guy's out of his mind. He just followed a crazy person. And I'm just like. And then, you know, I have to see these people because I'm performing at the club, at the hotel. So I look out in the audience and I see these guys. Guy still got his skis for some reason, just like, hey, that's the. That jerk who told us that we were.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, man, that's classic. Henry Phillips is our guest singer, songwriter, and now married guy. Yeah, yeah, that's great. Christy Lee is right over there, back from a very brief vacation. And let's get a little bit of news out of you. What's going on?

[Christy Lee]

There's a new study out there that finds frequent nightmares may triple the risk of an early death.

[Josh Arnold]

Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Triple what?

[Christy Lee]

Researchers analyzing long term data revealed adults who report weekly nightmares are more than three times as likely to die before age 70.

[Josh Arnold]

I easily have weekly nightmares than those.

[Christy Lee]

Who Rarely have them. Well, well, Josh. The study also found both children and adults with recurring nightmares show signs of faster biological aging.

[Josh Arnold]

Man, I don't understand the correlation.

[Christy Lee]

Scientists say, Josh, that nightmares elevate your cortisol, the body's stress hormone, disrupting your sleep and hindering overnight cell repair, factors that can accelerate aging at the cellular level. That does make sense. Their lead researcher, Abidemi Otaku, noticed that the brain reacts to nightmares as if they were real events, making the stress response particularly intense. In fact, weekly nightmares were found to be a stronger a predictor of premature death than smoking, poor diet, or inactivity.

[Josh Arnold]

That I don't believe.

[Henry Phillips]

It's hard to believe.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, my goodness. Well, that's one of those things. And there's a couple of these statistics that you'll hear where it's just like, okay, we're very sorry that you have nightmares all the time, but also, you're gonna die early. So then you're just having more nightmares now.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And I.

[Henry Phillips]

Day, it's like. Like when they used to always bring up the statistic that, you know, it's like, men who have, you know, healthy sexual relations with a partner on a regular basis tend to live longer. So it's like, not only are you not getting laid, but you're also dying young. Thanks. This is great.

[Josh Arnold]

I was having nightmares so frequently that I talked to my doctor about it.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And he goes, oh, yeah, yeah. That can be a side effect of your anxiety disorder medication. I was like, I see. So it sucks the anxiety out of my daytime, but then just loads my dreams.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, you know, there's a thing called situational rational depression, and I got diagnosed with this. It was in my 20s. I. Yeah, I was with a therapist, and I was just like, yeah, no, I'm going through this breakup, which is terrible, and I just have no direction in my life, no career, and just all kinds of issues. And I was just. Can you give me, like, some meds or something to get over the depression? They go, well, no. You have what's called situational depression. What that means is that you're ration. Like, you should be depressed, because this is awful stuff that you have happening in your life. Nothing's weird about it. Your reaction is perfectly healthy. Yeah, your life sucks, and you're rational enough to see that, so we're not gonna put you on any meds. And so I was like, really? So then. So you just. Just, I suck.

[Chick McGee]

What you need is a job and a better apartment. Yeah. Yeah. And a girlfriend. That Likes you.

[Henry Phillips]

You gotta clean up your life.

[Josh Arnold]

It makes sense. You're real sad.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. You actually have a reason. A lot of people come in here and they're just clinical or biological or whatever, but you actually have a reason to be depressed.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. This story. I don't buy this story either.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Worse than smoking. That seems crazy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that does.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Do you ever smoke in your dreams? No.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe it's because I never really smoked.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

And do you ever eat in dreams?

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, that would be. I have, but nothing comes to mind. You know what? Like, do you smoke in your dreams?

[Chick McGee]

No, I was just asking. I don't know my dreams primarily. I'll be talking to people.

[Josh Arnold]

I had a major.

[Chick McGee]

Or. Yeah. Or other things.

[Josh Arnold]

I had a pee dream last night that was. You ever have those where you're. You have in real life, I guess you really have to pee. So then your dreams are mostly like, I gotta find an unoccupied bathroom. Or then I will. And then I'll pee some. But I'm like, oh, no, that didn't take care of it. There was like three hours of that. It felt like last night.

[Christy Lee]

Why didn't you just get up and pee?

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't know I had to. I was not asleep and then I woke up, I was like, oh, my gosh, my back hurt. I had to pee so bad.

[Chick McGee]

But when you were a kid, you. You had issues with sleeping and being.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, so thankfully I was a bedwetter until, I don't know, 11, 12. And so. Yeah, so I thought you were gonna.

[Tom Griswold]

Say 38 last week.

[Chick McGee]

It can still come back.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, if I drink, it can come back sometimes. But that's been a while. That has been a while.

[Henry Phillips]

That's one of those dreams that, like, Freud would have been able to analyze very easily. It's like, oh, you're dreaming about having to pee because you have to pee. Not a lot of psychological.

[Josh Arnold]

I have situational, rational.

[Chick McGee]

But Freud would have wanted you to pee on your mother. Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. Yeah. Which brings us to this song.

[Josh Arnold]

That's not gonna happen again, I don't think.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Okay. If you're just joining us. Hello. Hi. This is the Babaton Program coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. We're hanging out with comedian Henry Phillips. Henry Phillips is on his way to Naperville, Illinois. Saturday night, Danny's Pub and Grill. Right now at the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

A Connecticut man had to be rescued after he got stuck in a Chimney while trying to get his dog out of a bathroom in a locked building. Firefighters responded to Rockwell park in Bristol and got the man out by removing parts of the chimney and building, causing as much as $10,000 worth of damage. The man, who was not injured, was arrested, though, and charged with burglary, trespassing, and criminal mischief. Mischief. It's not clear how the dog got stuck in the building's bathroom or how long the man was in the chimney.

[Chick McGee]

How weird.

[Christy Lee]

Police say the dog was not harmed. Why didn't he just call somebody and tell him that the dog was there? He was doing something else. You wouldn't get all these charges if you were just trying to get your dog out of a building.

[Josh Arnold]

It wouldn't seem like it.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Who came up. We talked about this before. Who came up with criminal mischief?

[Josh Arnold]

You know, that doesn't seem snugly Whiplash.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it does sort of, like, lighten it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's just criminal. He's just mischievous.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

What was the name of the town again?

[Christy Lee]

The name of the town. Rockwell park in Bristol.

[Henry Phillips]

I always feel like somebody's watching me.

[Christy Lee]

Rockwell. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm afraid to wash my hat.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right. So. So the dog shower.

[Chick McGee]

The dog is in the building.

[Christy Lee]

Correct.

[Chick McGee]

This guy is going down the chimney, allegedly to get the dog out.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. So how did he. Was he gonna come back up the chimney with his dog in his arm?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he could unlock the door, then from inside.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you feel like Santa Claus is at the bottom of this story somewhere?

[Chick McGee]

Here comes Santa pause. Here comes Santa pause. A little doggy. I. There's something going on me.

[Christy Lee]

I agree. I think he was. He was up to m. I'd be.

[Chick McGee]

Remiss if we didn't do the classic joke.

[Josh Arnold]

What's that?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you know.

[Henry Phillips]

You know.

[Josh Arnold]

Is he feeling okay today?

[Chick McGee]

Well, you know, it usually kills you when you get stuck. Stuck on the chimney.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Chick McGee]

Tom of the flu. Henry.

[Henry Phillips]

I Like.

[Christy Lee]

An animal shelter in Massachusetts is looking for a new home for its rude parrot. Forever Paws Animal Shelter in Fall Rivers reported the bird named Hendrix is up for adoption. The shelter said one day he will call you baby, the next day he's calling you an MFer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy. One of these guys. Why do they stay with these parrots?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

When he says cracker, we're not sure if he's using it as an insult or if he's asking for an actual cracker. A shelter spokesman warned. If you adopt Hendrix, you're basically adopting Samuel L. Jackson. I. Does he curse a lot?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. He's kind of known for using the mf.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Pulp Fiction.

[Chick McGee]

Polly Want a Cracker, bitches. We often get these. We had one of these stories out of England about a parrot that they had to get rid of that. Remember that? And they took it to a zoo and it was. It was a problem.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, the C word to a British parrot doesn't really quite mean the same thing.

[Henry Phillips]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

A lot of parrots are very misunderstood in that regard. Like they're not being as crude as you would think.

[Christy Lee]

German authorities say thieves robbed a farm of $34,400 worth of bull semen recently.

[Josh Arnold]

No kidding.

[Christy Lee]

The perps broke into a cattle shed in Lock is Penkum.

[Josh Arnold]

Good news, guys. We have semen Milk for weeks.

[Christy Lee]

According to the news agency dba, the three suspects were observed fleeing from the premises carrying the semen stored in liquid nitrogen. Authorities are investigating the incident for theft, trespassing and damage to property.

[Chick McGee]

How do you get rid of that? That's such a specific.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, boys, the cops are here. Start drinking.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I mean, how do you use fences?

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, I heard it the same way. Oh, my goodness. So this is. I mean, this is not an industry that I'm in, obviously, but. So what do you do with that now?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, a bunch of bull semen.

[Henry Phillips]

I guess it's. It's hard to come by. No pun intended.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it happened in common snitch in Germany. Snitching. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe they were asking for the A. Snitching coming. Try that.

[Chick McGee]

Snitching coming.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah, There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought it was jizz and rat.

[Chick McGee]

Obviously, they have to know what they're doing if they.

[Christy Lee]

Obviously they have to be in the business, if you will. They know where to get rid of it. They know who they were.

[Henry Phillips]

Up to some mischief. They were gonna like the new way to egg somebody's house. You know, it's.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Or maybe they're into some kinky videos. In fact, I saw one where they were just covering this poor woman and bull semen.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It was your classic mukaki.

[Chick McGee]

And.

[Josh Arnold]

What happened after that one?

[Chick McGee]

So you're suggesting they're stealing it for personal use. Good to know.

[Josh Arnold]

There must be a market.

[Christy Lee]

There has to be a market. $34,000.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's incredibly lucrative. Yeah, sure.

[Chick McGee]

Hell, but who? I mean, so there's a crooked.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, if you want to have calves, that's how you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Buy black market bulls, even.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Again, knowing Nothing about it. Wouldn't the possibility of DNA testing come into play then possibly down the road.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, they could prove that those calves were. Yeah, yeah. Like a lot of work for.

[Henry Phillips]

I used to donate sperm. Is this a good time to bring that up? I got fired though.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. Apparently that you. You weren't allowed to, you know, relieve yourself of that like within 48 hours. Hours of, of donating.

[Josh Arnold]

I see. You had to hold it for.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

So to speak.

[Henry Phillips]

So. But you know, I'm in my early 20s, you know, and I was just like I was in college at the time and so. Yeah. That I kept cheating on them and they were like, no, no, no, you're fired. It's not, it's really not a good feeling to get fired from donating sperm. But I. Yeah. I mean I could very well have kids out there.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Did you hear that? On a serious note, did you just see the thing about that guy that has a hundred kids?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Wants like 600 more or something.

[Chick McGee]

No, the guy, he's a billionaire.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. And he's getting his kids. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

He's been. He's fathered more than a hundred kids through sperm donation and he's decided that I think he's worth $17 billion.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. But he's. He seriously wants like 600 kids.

[Josh Arnold]

Is this like a. Some sort of God complex type thing?

[Henry Phillips]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe I'll find the story. He apparently.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I saw that.

[Chick McGee]

Was told he has golden sperm or something. Oh, look into that.

[Tom Griswold]

But right now, normally it's like a Milky Way.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. Mine. The market value is, is dropping precipitously.

[Chick McGee]

Hello Chick McGee.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a very strong special guest, Jake McGee.

[Chick McGee]

A man who has been in on the airwaves since the 1970s.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

And yet has never worn pants while doing broadcast.

[Tom Griswold]

Always my junk in my head.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. Of course. Now for some reason Henry Phillips mentioned being a sperm donor.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We have a lot of news about sperm now.

[Chick McGee]

And yeah, I I found this. Did you find those?

[Christy Lee]

This billionaire guy now Pavel Durov is a Russian born billionaire and he apparently wants to to have a lot of kids.

[Tom Griswold]

I am Pavel.

[Christy Lee]

The 40 year old billionaire, founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram revealed last year that while he isn't married, prefers to live alone. He has over 100 biological children in 12 countries.

[Josh Arnold]

I want to father the world.

[Christy Lee]

And he says Genghis Khan he's leaving all of his money to these kids too so.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh he is.

[Christy Lee]

That's what he says.

[Chick McGee]

Well he's not dead yet.

[Christy Lee]

Not dead yet.

[Chick McGee]

But wait a one of them hears about right?

[Josh Arnold]

I am papa oligarch. You love me. And he's such a weird thing that.

[Christy Lee]

He wants to do and he's not done. He still has sperm that's frozen.

[Chick McGee]

Wasn't there a problem in England where.

[Christy Lee]

Someone some it was in the Netherlands.

[Chick McGee]

Doctor did this and two of the kids were about to get married.

[Christy Lee]

They didn't in England.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, they didn't. They didn't realize that they were technically half brother.

[Josh Arnold]

So you're saying hot things can happen. I mean weird things.

[Tom Griswold]

And isn't that is do every state in the country you have to get a blood test before you get married.

[Chick McGee]

Or is there not anymore anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

So is that maybe that'll come back because that might be a problem with sperm donors.

[Chick McGee]

I mean are they do The, Are the children informed that they were this.

[Henry Phillips]

Fathered by this guy?

[Chick McGee]

Would you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, apparently he is not keeping it anonymous. I mean, I, I.

[Chick McGee]

So they know.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you do away with yourself immediately or wait a couple days if you found out you and I were related.

[Chick McGee]

You know, like, you'd be my half brother.

[Tom Griswold]

Half brother. I mean, there's no way you'd be something close. Yeah, no. There's no way I could be a full blown Griswold. Oh, God, no.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, there are rumors that you do have a half brother out there, Billy Corrigan. There are people, many people are saying.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right? Pumpkins, guys. Mashing pumpkins. Guy, mayonnaise.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, we talked about the bull semen story Katie has written us. She is, has a family farm and they raise cattle. She said that semen is usually stored in small straws. Not very much at all. Hopefully gets one cow artificially bred like pixie sticks. Yeah. It's frozen in liquid nitrogen, thawed before use. And they use a special quote unquote gun that helps in the breeding. Calves are absolutely.

[Henry Phillips]

This is an Adam Sandler movie waiting to happen here.

[Christy Lee]

Calves are absolutely DNA tested for parentage often, especially if they're purebred or registered.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this good for a movie? Put the cow in stirrups and inseminate them that way.

[Josh Arnold]

That is good.

[Christy Lee]

So Katie says these thieves definitely would have to have a pretty specific market to sell that.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, well, interesting.

[Chick McGee]

So you're buying black market bull semen, don't you think?

[Tom Griswold]

If you were.

[Henry Phillips]

Which was the name of my band when I was in.

[Chick McGee]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

If you were conceived in a test tube from frozen sperm, you, it would seem like you'd never get warm, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Always kind of chilly.

[Tom Griswold]

Always kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We got a couple different stories about doctors.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Who are alleged to have.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that one guy right down the street.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

They've alleged that they were, were using their own semen.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

To inseminate. Inseminate their, their patients. Yeah. This one guy. And what is this in Holland?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And there was a guy, I think in Illinois that got caught doing this and in Indiana. And there was. Yeah, the one guy, interestingly enough, I remember this. This was on 60 Minutes. These, a group of women in this town were talking and they were all saying it was very odd that when they would go in for their examination, he would not have a nurse in the room and he would have all these sheets set up and he would often say, this is going to feel a lot like intercourse. Well, and it was. And it was.

[Tom Griswold]

I assure you it's not. But it was.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, this is.

[Josh Arnold]

Why does it sound like.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I know what you're thinking? Thinking this is.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Nowhere nearly. I don't smoke. I don't smoke after my exams, but you'll forgive me.

[Christy Lee]

He would have to just.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Daddy likes that.

[Christy Lee]

Women aren't that stupid, right?

[Chick McGee]

No, this was a legit.

[Christy Lee]

I know, but if he's doing that.

[Josh Arnold]

No, Christie, I think it's more.

[Christy Lee]

He had to have just gone in.

[Josh Arnold]

And they're not that stupid at all. This guy was so manipulative and charming and I'm sure there was some smoke and mirrors.

[Chick McGee]

They said he had sheets set up.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but I'm saying if it's. When you get a pelvic exam, it doesn't go in and out, is what I'm saying.

[Josh Arnold]

Well.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, maybe the good ones do. You don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

There's also a chance. These were. I don't know enough details, but first time gynecological visits.

[Chick McGee]

They'd all been seeing the same guy for a long time. Yeah. Then there's the. Then there's the one where the guy was claiming that he was using the seed of the husbands or boyfriends.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And he was in fact using his own and still charging. Searching.

[Josh Arnold]

We switched your husband's sperm.

[Chick McGee]

So there has to be some kind of ego thing.

[Tom Griswold]

She never wants a second load at home.

[Chick McGee]

This Russian billionaire wants to have 500 kids out there. That's.

[Josh Arnold]

It is a special kind of ego. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's madness. A special kind of lunacy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I think.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Henry Phillips]

But he should have to live with them. That's what I said. I mean, that should be the rule.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah. I've lived with a handful of.

[Henry Phillips]

This was a terrible idea.

[Chick McGee]

500 might be a little bit. A little bit. A little bit rough. And now, Pat, you've prepared a special song, is that correct?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, you can go ahead and start the band up.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, is that right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, I see them all in there. I saw them tuning their Instagram.

[Pat Godwin]

They couldn't fit in here. We had to mic them up.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom's in charge of this audio. Huh?

[Chick McGee]

Okay, here we go. Ready? Here it starts. Want.

[Pat Godwin]

Told the sperm doctor I want to have a kid. Saw the sperm doctor remove a test tube lid. Sperm doctor turned around and this is what he did.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he went.

[Henry Phillips]

Bang, bang.

[Josh Arnold]

You owe me for the Rudy Valley ending.

[Chick McGee]

So he charged him. He charged him for his semen.

[Christy Lee]

Of course he did he got a.

[Tom Griswold]

Little shum shuming and got. Got money for it.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Oh, well, there. That. That's our semen hunk. Hey, you wanted a kid hunk or.

[Christy Lee]

Or load or load.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, monsters, Right. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The Russian guy. This, this story just came out last week.

[Christy Lee]

Sure did. I remember reading about it. He says he's really worried about the declining population. And I'm like, where is he living?

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, God, come on. When I was born, I think there were 4 billion people on the planet and there's 8 billion now. Yeah. So what is he talking about?

[Christy Lee]

That's my point. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, he's trying to justify this.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And he says in countries where the populations are declining is where he wants to donate the most, if you will.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, he's thinking of others.

[Josh Arnold]

I am a giver.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I bring to mountain.

[Chick McGee]

I wonder if.

[Henry Phillips]

I wonder if Naperville, Illinois needs some population.

[Chick McGee]

I wonder if Elon Musk is going to get on board. This guy's also a billionaire.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. He's got, he's got.

[Chick McGee]

Does he have. He's got more than 10, right?

[Josh Arnold]

He does. Musk does.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Yeah, I think he does quite a few.

[Chick McGee]

I remember reading about one of them is named like PR 1784X.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Something crazy.

[Chick McGee]

I couldn't believe it's the same as my password for this computer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my goodness. Yeah, that's.

[Chick McGee]

What are the odds? Amazing. Now can we get one more quick song out of him?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

You want to do it in a few minutes? You ready? Our guest is Henry Phillips. Henry is a wonderful comedian, an occasional actor, and you'll find all about his cooking stuff at Henry's Henry's Kitchen.

[Henry Phillips]

No apostrophe or anything, just Henry's Kitchen. And I'll show you everything. So this is a song that I wrote a few years ago. But I think the message is just as true now as it. As it was back at the time. And you know, things just change so much that there's this situation now where you can't call an anybody if you're having an issue with like your bank or your health insurance, whatever. It's always like a menu type thing. And I, I had this happen where I called my health insurance company because I had a problem and they said something about. Or they have one of those automated menus. And literally one of the things they said was, are you a healthcare professional? Press 1 for yes, 2 for no, 3 for I'm not sure. I was like, I'm not sure if I'm a healthcare professional. Like, how does that work? Like, honey, do you know if I'm a healthcare professional? I. I mean, I. I wear the stethoscope and stuff, but I don't know if I'd say I wear Hawaiian shirts. So it's not very professional, but it's just like. But anyway, so we've lost a lot of sense there. And this is a song that I wrote about a little bit of that. My financial situation. I just.

[Tom Griswold]

I.

[Henry Phillips]

Sorry about that false start there. It's a little higher than I normally. I just got a letter in the mail saying that I failed to pay my credit card in time. And that's a $40 fine, which would have been okay except for that it caused me to exceed my credit line, and that's another $40 fine. So then I got a letter in the mail. This one said the balance due was drawn from my checking account, which caused a bunch of checks to bounce, which would have been okay, except the fact that one of those checks was to the DMV for my registration fee. So the next day, I was on my way to work and I couldn't find my car. It wasn't where I parked it just the day before. And then I got another piece of mail. This one said the registration tags were out of date, so they had to tow my car away, which wasn't quite okay. I called them to explain, and when I finally got through, they just made me wait on hold. After 40 minutes, I hung up because I had to go to work. But then I realized, if I don't have a car, then how the hell am I to get to work? So I got fired from my job. So here I am, living in a box underneath a bridge in this quiet little town, and I take a look around. Things are not so bad. I don't get any bills. And the best part of it is that I can't get any mail.

[Chick McGee]

Henry Phillips. I particularly enjoyed the part when we were on hold with you.

[Henry Phillips]

I had a situation where I had to call my cell phone company because they charged me twice as much as they normally do, and I was livid. And I saw on the website it's really hard to find the phone number, but they have the phone number in small print, and right underneath it, it says, if you use profanity or vulgar language to any of our employees, we have the right to terminate your service. And I thought, if it's that much of a problem that people keep calling and using profanity and vulgar language to your employees, that should be a sign that you're doing something wrong. That's not a sign that you should have. Like if you go to Mrs. Field's cookies, it doesn't say, hey, if you call Shannon a bitch, we're not gonna. It's not. They need to look inward, I guess is what I'm saying.

[Chick McGee]

They must know that Shannon is a. I see. That's Henry Phillips. We're coming back with more. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Become a Bob and Tom VIP and get your Bob and Tom fix 24 7. Get all the info in the VIP area@Bob and Tom.com. hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk. Hello, Pat Godwin.

[Henry Phillips]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Josh Arnold. Hi Trickster, Ace Cosby. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Lord, I'm down.

[Josh Arnold]

You got the blue so bad.

[Tom Griswold]

I got the blues so bad. I'm Chick and hello Tom.

[Chick McGee]

With a special guest joining us in the studio. It's comedian, veteran, stand up comedian, singer, songwriter, Henry Phillips.

[Henry Phillips]

Hey guys.

[Chick McGee]

Henry is also something of a amateur professional chef.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Again, the best way to find you.

[Henry Phillips]

Is Henry's Dot Kitchen.

[Chick McGee]

Henry's Kitchen.

[Henry Phillips]

I don't know how that works. I always thought you had to have a dot com or whatever, but it just, yeah, Henry's dot kitchen will take you to anything you need.

[Chick McGee]

So it's not henry's.kitchen.com it's henry.

[Henry Phillips]

No, it's just Henry's dot Kitchen.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, cool.

[Henry Phillips]

And yeah, no, I, I've been cooking now for about nine years, but I've been teaching it for about 14 years.

[Christy Lee]

What's your best dish?

[Henry Phillips]

My, probably my chutney cheese weenie bites.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, how about that?

[Henry Phillips]

That was a big popular thing. I did those and I went to a party to cater, cater a party. But here's the thing and this is my little financial advice here. If anybody asks you to do a catering gig and they ask you what you charge, don't charge anything. And that way if they all say, hey, this food sucked, you can be like, well, I mean, you get what you pay for. That's sort of my strategy. Now.

[Chick McGee]

Did you grow up cooking at all? You just.

[Henry Phillips]

No, I actually lack, I think it's probably like music or athletics. I think that there's a gene or something that some people have where they just, they'll taste it and they'll be like, oh, it needs more salt or whatever. But I'm one of those by the book, you know, I need the teaspoon. And I need to do it. Exactly. But I started accumulating all these bad experiences with cooking. One time I had a date and I said, hey, I'm making this Greek feta cheese spanakopita casserole type thing. And I thought that would be fun. And she was really hungry, and I said, it's gonna be in the oven for an hour, unfortunately, so. But we'll get good and hungry. And, you know, about 55 minutes go by, and I'm like, well, I thought I'd be smelling it or something. And then I go over there and I was like, oh, man, I forgot to turn the oven on. Literally forgot to turn the oven on. It was one of those fancy ovens, and I thought it was on, but the red light was there, so I thought that meant it was on, but it wasn't, so. So we wound up getting like, you know, McDonald's or something.

[Chick McGee]

I've got a letter. Kind of appropriate. Dear Bob and Tom Show. This comes to us from Ramon in Orlando, Florida.

[Tom Griswold]

Ramon.

[Chick McGee]

Ramon. He writes my mother, half Mexican, half Italian.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love jokes like this. So that assassinate a mule.

[Chick McGee]

Something about beans. No, no, no. This is not a joke.

[Tom Griswold]

He goes, oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

She had all of her recipes memorized and never used any measuring utensils. Yeah, she just used her hands to measure out the ingredients. Her homemade spaghetti sauce was amazing. I cannot find any good Tex Max food in Orlando, Florida. I'm a born and bred Texan. I am living in hell. Well, sorry, Ramon, Sorry.

[Henry Phillips]

They got grape food food in Florida, but. But, yeah, Tex Mex is a very. It's its own thing, you know. And you know what else is delicious is southwestern Mexican food like you get in New Mexico. Yeah. And blue corn tortillas they have. It's a very different thing sometimes cactus. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Why don't you eat cactus?

[Josh Arnold]

You can.

[Tom Griswold]

What about the. The stickers?

[Josh Arnold]

You only keep one in, so it's like a two toothpick.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right? Well, that's interesting. Did you know about this?

[Chick McGee]

I'm not one that likes a prick in his mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

Me either.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you don't know what you're missing.

[Henry Phillips]

I guess. They still have cactus cooler. Is that made out of cactus?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know if there was real cactus in cactus cooler or not.

[Christy Lee]

Boy, that goes back a ways.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Was that a.

[Christy Lee]

It was like a wine cooler, wasn't it?

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I remember the. The fleeting existence of California cooler.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Was that Bartles and James?

[Chick McGee]

No, they had their own California cooler, at least here it predated Bartles and James and it was everywhere.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha. I remember them being delicious when I was. I would steal a sip from my mom of the coolers, and they were great, but I was. I was a Kool aid. Age was 6.

[Chick McGee]

They were actually in the early 80s.

[Christy Lee]

The cactus cooler that Henry's referring to because he's from Southern California is a soft drink. It's an orange pineapple flavored soft drink sold primarily in Southern California.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

See, we never know which things are, like, regional and which things are all over the country. But, yeah, I think that was one of the one. Was that the one that's like, got more caffeine than coffee or something or. No, Mountain Dew, I think is the one. One of them has, like, surprisingly way too much.

[Chick McGee]

Well, there was. Yeah, there was Jolt Cola was kind of the first overtly.

[Tom Griswold]

That was where you. When you opened it, you. A shot of electricity.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance News.

[Christy Lee]

Then I said something during the break that kind of surprised me that you're playing golf.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, I'm a golfer.

[Josh Arnold]

That is surprising.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. You know, and it's too bad because my dad was so into it. He loved it. He always tried to get me into it, but I was always into music. I just couldn't have been less interested. But now, a couple years ago, started getting into it. So now I literally, I officially. I play golf. I play in a garage band with a couple of buddies and we do, you know, 70s classic rock cover songs and I play poker. So if you picture my life, I'm like a Flomax commercial. And. Yeah, so I'm officially old now and everything hurts. And the first time I ever went out to golf, I injured my back. So. But it was kind of cool because that way, when I had my terrible swing, people laughed at me. I'd be like, well, I'm working through an injury. They don't have to know I just got the injury. But yeah, no, it's. I love it. I suck. I'm completely terrible. But I love the hangout. You know, I've been hanging out with people that I didn't always hang out with. You know, friends from high school and, you know, getting some sun and. And working on something.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Henry Phillips]

I've already mastered everything else in my life. You know, it's like, what else is there? I gotta try this.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, maybe a golf song is in the out.

[Henry Phillips]

I can already cook. Like, you know, the Masters Golf Yeah, that'd be good. It's tricky, though, when you golf because you always. You. If you're a comedian, you always want to make jokes, but you just feel like. Like people that have been golfing their whole life have probably heard every joke that there is. You know, I stepped on. Yeah. Stepped on a rake. What is that one? Do you want to say it? Because I still don't know what you can say on the radio.

[Tom Griswold]

The best two balls I heard all day.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. But I mean, it's really hard as a comedian to. To not make these jokes when people say, you know, they set them up so perfectly. Ah, my ball just went. When the sand pit or whatever. I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sure, sure.

[Henry Phillips]

How do you not say something? You know? But you. You just gotta hold your tongue.

[Chick McGee]

I have two updates here.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, we had the letter from Ramon, who's. He said his mother was half Mexican, half Italian.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah. Her refried spaghetti was delicious.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. No, but her walking spaghetti was delightful.

[Tom Griswold]

But.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, we both had. I see.

[Chick McGee]

Very different. Very difficult to maneuver with walking spaghetti. California Cooler. I'd forgotten about these things. It was one of the pioneering wine coolers.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

A quote refreshing blend of white wine, fruit juice, carbonation and sugar. It was launched in 76 by two high school friends. It took off. I remember it was huge. In 1984, it was everywhere. Mid-80s brought a lot of competition, including Bartles and James and Seagram's. In 1991, things changed. California Cooler had been acquired for $146 million back in 85, and the brand was dropped.

[Christy Lee]

Why'd they buy it and then drop it?

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe it was a competitor.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I didn't want the competition.

[Chick McGee]

They bought an 85 drop 10 years later.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Christy Lee]

Well, it was a drop nobody bought.

[Tom Griswold]

Was really bad.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, sorry, I'm just. I'm. I'm editing on the fly here. Sorry.

[Christy Lee]

That's okay.

[Chick McGee]

They bought it for those two guys, sold it for 146 million.

[Christy Lee]

Do you ever remember drinking those?

[Chick McGee]

I don't like wine at all.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, they didn't taste like wine. They tasted like candy.

[Christy Lee]

They were like.

[Henry Phillips]

So do you remember a Bacardi Breezers?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I never part.

[Henry Phillips]

I remember my buddy and I went and got some type of. We thought we were getting those alcoholic drinks, but we got like the mixer or something.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Henry Phillips]

I remember we were like 18 or something like that. It should have been. I don't know. We. He had a fake id and we watched Andrew Dice Clay. We watched his comedy special on VHS and then just drank these mixers all night. And we're just like, whoa, man, I'm so drunk right now. This is crazy. The next morning it's like, wow, did we get laid last night? I don't even remember. You were drinking sugar water.

And we're coming right Back to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

Show, Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios at the Silac Insurance desk. It's Christy Lee. There's Pat Godwin. Hello. Hello. Josh Arnold. Hello, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom. We have a special guest.

[Chick McGee]

We do. Indeed we do, old friend. He is comedian Henry Phillips.

[Henry Phillips]

It is excellent to be here, guys.

[Chick McGee]

It's always a great pleasure to see. You look as handsome as ever. I always nice you and the guy that you look like is dead.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think anyone.

[Henry Phillips]

That's a title for a biography right there. That's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Anybody, living or dead agrees with what you're saying.

[Chick McGee]

I always thought he looked like Jack Jones.

[Tom Griswold]

No, Steve Lawrence or Steve Lawrence.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, Steve Lawrence.

[Josh Arnold]

I see it sort of a. I see a little bit of Steve Lawrence. Sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

And you are the only person that gets Steve Lawrence and Jack Jones mixed.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, I was. I'm in a rush here. I'm sorry.

[Henry Phillips]

I. I look like Steve Lawrence does now. No, I.

[Chick McGee]

Steve Lawrence is the guy in the Blues Brothers in this. In the song.

[Christy Lee]

He's a lounge singer.

[Josh Arnold]

Or Stephen. Edie.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he was great.

[Henry Phillips]

But this brings up a great point, because I. You know, as you get older, there's expressions that you see come and go. And there was an expression I used to hear a lot in the early 2000s where people would say, henry, you look good. And I haven't heard that in many, many years. So I'm very happy to hear that. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It's just.

[Henry Phillips]

People don't say that anymore. I guess it's one of those things. But, you know, one expression that I can't stand, and I don't know why we put up with it so much, is when people say, no offense, because literally 100% of the time, they're about to insult you right after they say, there's never a time when it's not. And so I was, you know, hanging out with my lady, and I got my hair dyed and this particular dye that I used. I don't. I didn't think it looked any good. It looked unnatural. And I remember telling her, I don't know, I feel like it looks like I'm wearing a wig or something. And she goes, well, no offense, but why would anybody ever buy a wig that looks like that? Oh, yeah. No, none. Take. Why would I be offended to think that nobody wants the hair that I have on my head? But. And then the other one, we went to a family reunion, and I remember on the drive back, I was like, I don't know if my brother's kids like me very much. And she goes, no offense, but why would they. There's just never a time when no offense ends well. So. But Steve Lawrence, I'll take it.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes you get the no offense at the end, and you didn't even realize. So it'll be like, yeah. Like, I saw this guy at the restaurant, man. He. I bet he had three different entrees. The guy was eating so much. And then they'll look at me go, no offense. And then what?

[Henry Phillips]

I didn't know I was part of this. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How did I get dragged into this?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Don't take this the wrong way.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Speaking of food, Pat, we were talking. Talking about a. We had a letter, a guy had a. An aunt or somebody who was a. Or no, you have the aunt who's half Italian.

[Pat Godwin]

I actually have an aunt who's half Italian, half Mexican.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Pat Godwin]

And she makes a hell of a pot out of lasagna.

[Josh Arnold]

You know.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, first of all, no, he asked me to.

[Chick McGee]

No offense, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Admire the enthusiasm. That was good. Yes.

[Henry Phillips]

Scared me.

[Chick McGee]

Well, let's. Let's go back to the news desk. It's not just any news desk, ladies and gentlemen. It's the Silac Insurance news desk, starring Christy Lee. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

A 15 year old boy says he feels pretty lucky after being struck by lightning in New York City, Central Park.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Christy Lee]

Yasin Khalifa told WABC TV they call him whiz.

[Chick McGee]

They would have to.

[Tom Griswold]

I hope they do. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Was picnicking in the park with friends when the storm suddenly rolled in, he recalled. I leaned up against a tree, always.

[Josh Arnold]

A bright idea during lightning.

[Christy Lee]

And I told them, oh, guys, let's ride out the storm. Which in hindsight might not have been the best idea. Mr. Khalifa said he was knocked unconscious for several minutes and was hospitalized for burns on his neck and leg. He is expected to make a full recovery. According to the US Centers for Disease Control, lightning kills around 30 people a year in the United States. The United States.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's more than I would have thought.

[Christy Lee]

Strikes, though, are usually not fatal. Josh. About 90 of people injured by lightning survive.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Remember this one?

[Josh Arnold]

I love this song.

[Chick McGee]

Is this Lou Christie, the late. He just died. He died last.

[Tom Griswold]

He died last week.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a shame.

[Henry Phillips]

Frankie Valley. No.

[Pat Godwin]

Guess what he died of?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Pat Godwin]

Lightning strike.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, my goodness.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

No, explain. Irony at least.

[Josh Arnold]

I appreciate you leaving me out of that one.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No offense, but you shouldn't have said anything.

[Tom Griswold]

So you don't like Frankie Val.

[Josh Arnold]

I know it doesn't make sense that he likes.

[Tom Griswold]

But you like Lou Christie. Explain that one to me.

[Josh Arnold]

He can't.

[Chick McGee]

I. I certainly can. I. You. You listen to that song, Ronnie?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, no one likes Ronnie.

[Chick McGee]

Ronnie, No. I. Of the Four Seasons.

[Josh Arnold]

Walk like a man, Walk like a.

[Chick McGee]

Man, Sing like a blue. Christie's doing the same thing.

[Henry Phillips]

The Bee Gees.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely.

[Henry Phillips]

I gotta say, the theme for Greece, I thought was. Is that the Four Seasons? That's just Frank.

[Chick McGee]

That's just right.

[Henry Phillips]

I thought that was cool. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Eight years old, but he's not singing real high in that one.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, that's true. Oh, it's the high thing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah. But.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Lou Christie just died last week.

[Josh Arnold]

I love lightning strike striking again.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it murder or something?

[Chick McGee]

No, he was 82 years old.

[Christy Lee]

Say he was in his 80s. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Non payment of a gambling just.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. Taken from us far too young.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Such a. Such a shock. Finally died.

[Josh Arnold]

Shock? Is that he. Wait, he just died?

[Henry Phillips]

I mean, it's. It could happen to anybody.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Boy, it makes you think, doesn't it?

[Chick McGee]

His real name, Lui Alfredo Giovani. Sam.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa. Losako.

[Chick McGee]

That was a huge hit.

[Christy Lee]

But is that his only hit?

[Chick McGee]

There are a couple of other ones that were. Didn't, apparently.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, well, okay.

[Christy Lee]

What.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's hear them.

[Chick McGee]

It'll take me some time to dig them up, but also just go to.

[Josh Arnold]

Spotify and see what the top five.

[Christy Lee]

Are from the top five Lou Christy songs.

[Pat Godwin]

Recognize any other ones? I looked at that.

[Henry Phillips]

High winds. That was another one. There's a lot of meteorological stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, there. There's Rhapsody in the Rain.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

There you go.

[Chick McGee]

That was a hit.

[Henry Phillips]

They were trying to follow it up.

[Josh Arnold]

Two Faces have I.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, yes. Two Faces have I. That was wonderful.

[Pat Godwin]

Hurricane took my baby away, wasn't it?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And dropped her off at the next farm bomb cyclone.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's twister again.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So the kid. The kid who got hit by lightning in Central Park. He.

[Christy Lee]

He's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Highway to Hail.

[Henry Phillips]

During his metal years. Yeah, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Blue Christie, the metal year.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. I don't know what his other hits were.

[Henry Phillips]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I just told you.

[Chick McGee]

But I mean, are those legit?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. Two Faces have I and Rhapsody and Rain really were on there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Highway to Hail was.

[Chick McGee]

I see. Well, if you're Jeff. If you're Jeff. If you're. If you're Jeff and you're joining us.

[Henry Phillips]

Half the people out there.

[Chick McGee]

I'm happy to have you here, Jeff, if you're just joining us, this is the Bob and Tom Show. We're coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance news desk. Before we get. Can we get one more song out of Henry? Do we have time, Henry? Yeah, sure.

[Henry Phillips]

You want to play?

[Chick McGee]

Henry is on tour once again and you can find him at. Is it Henry Kitchen?

[Josh Arnold]

Henry's Kitchen.

[Chick McGee]

No apostrophe.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah. My new life. Well, not new life, but the last, you know, 10 years or so.

[Chick McGee]

Does your new wife cook?

[Henry Phillips]

Internet cooking Chef. Yeah, yeah. She's one of those people that's good at it. I think most people are good at it, but I'm just like, yeah, if we're making something, she'll just add a little more salt after we already put the teaspoon that the recipe said. And I'm like, what, are you out of your mind? It says 1 teaspoon. Now we've got to figure out. We have to add all the other ingredients to the proportion that you just put of a teaspoon in there. But it always. Yeah, it's just. It's a gene that some people have that I just don't have for whatever reason. But I always like to say that cooking is not easy. It's not fun. It's not some nice way to bond with your family or whatever. It's very difficult, hard work. But if we don't do it, we die. We literally die.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Somebody's got to do it.

[Henry Phillips]

And this song has nothing to do with that. I am. I'm getting old. And it's. It's. It's hard, you know, I. My dad. Because everything hurts. You know, I've been golfing, and my dad always used to say this thing about how apparently John F. Kennedy was in constant pain throughout his entire life, but he never once complained about it. But every time I heard that, I was like, well, if he never complained about it, how would we know that he was in constant pain? Like, did he just say it? Like, okay, everybody, I want you to know I'm in constant pain, but I'm not complaining about it. I'm just saying it really hurts is what I'm saying. But I don't know how that works. So this song. Many years ago, I wrote this song. I was in my eighth year of community college out there in Pasadena, California, studying who knows what, you know, general education or whatever. And I wrote this song for the girl that I fell in love with. There she was. It's funny, she didn't speak a word of English, and I didn't speak whatever language she spoke or whatever, but it was just a tremendous relationship. And I remember writing her this love song on her 56. 7th birthday. And let's just dedicate this to her. Rosa, if you're out there, well, no, you're dead. I'm sure this was 40 years ago, but. But anyway, here we go. You are the blossom, I am the vine. You are the blood. Sweet little blossom, I am the vine. Sweet little blossom of mine. Hanging on the vine, extracting all the nutrients from the inside. Sweet little blossom of mine, you are the oyster. I am the Pearl, you are the oyster, I am the pearl. Sweet little oyster of mine. Irritating you on the inside. Covering me with your shiny mucus like substance until I shine. Sweet little oyster of mine. You are the earth, I am the moon, you are the earth, I am the moon. Sweet little Earth of mine. Regulating your tides, using my gravitational pull to stabilize your axis tilt and eventually create a relatively stable climate condition. I think that's how it goes. It's been a while. Sweet little earth of mine. All right, now it really picks up. I want everybody to sing along with me. I am the host organism. You are the unicellular dinoflagellate algae. I am the host organism. You are the unicell dinoflagellate algae. People are singing in their cars. Sweet little unicellular dinoflagellate algae of mine. Letting me use your chloroplasts that I can photosynthesize. Providing me with carbon in exchange from the nutrients you obtain from my catabolic pathways. Sweet little unicellular dinoflagellate algae of mine. All right, I'm just gonna jump to the end here. There's usually 48 more verses of this. You can see them at Danny's Pub and Grill in Naperville, Illinois. This Saturday. Henry's Kitchen for tickets. Okay, here we go. You are the Elvis. I am the Colonel Tom Parker. You are the Elvis on the Colonel Parker. Sweet little Elvis of mine. Right there by your side. Pulling Your blood loaded 250 pound cocaine and barbiturate saturated body out of the bathtub to keep you from drowning in a puddle of your own vomit. So I can sell more records. Sweet little Elvis in mine.

[Tom Griswold]

Want to share something? Send us an email. Bob and tomobandtom.com this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Chick McGee]

Winner.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee, Pat Godwin, Josh Arnold. Hello, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom. How are you?

[Chick McGee]

Hello, chicks. Good to see you, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

And joining us in the studio, it is comedian Henry Phillips. Phillips, long time since we've seen Henry. One of our, one of our old favorites. Not that old handsome man.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, I think it was a quarter of a century ago that I did the show for the first time. So yeah, I think that's, that's a chunk of change there.

[Chick McGee]

And look what happened. Josh stopped by and he never left.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah. They somehow haven't changed the locks.

[Tom Griswold]

We're not going to tell them. Are you going to tell them? I'm not going to tell them.

[Chick McGee]

Him. Go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

No, tell me to leave.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, I will not go quietly.

[Christy Lee]

Don't think he will not go quietly.

[Henry Phillips]

What was the thing that happened? We did a gig together a few years back where there was some kind of a electrical malfunction on the stage. Do you remember that? And, and then when we were on stage, there was like a sizzling sound. It was terrifying. It was at that kind of like warehouse that we did a show at. I don't remember the details, but it's, we used to work together a lot. We did, yeah. Mason City.

[Josh Arnold]

And that was, yeah, Mason City was the show where I was on stage and a spider came down on a one, you know, string, just a web right in front of my face. And I just had to address that.

[Christy Lee]

Was he heckling you?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, it's the worst when there's comedian. There's nothing worse than when something happens that the whole audience isn't in on. It's just you hearing it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

And so you can't really comment on it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's great. We have Kristi Lee right over there. I can see her. She is at the Silac Insurance news desk. Of course what have you got over there?

[Christy Lee]

Thousands of Australians stripped naked for a nude swim to mark the end of the so called Dark Mofo Festival. That's exactly what it's called.

[Tom Griswold]

That's.

[Chick McGee]

That's a huge thing.

[Christy Lee]

An estimated 3,000 participants took part in the nude solstice swimming.

[Henry Phillips]

What?

[Christy Lee]

This is part of the finale of Tasmania's Dark Mofo Festival, an annual celebration of art culture and the longest night of the year.

[Josh Arnold]

We have the president of Tasmania here with us. How do you. What do you attribute to your growing economy?

[Christy Lee]

The event unfolded just before dawn on Sunday morning at Long beach in Sandy Bay with air temperatures hovering just under 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Remember, in Australia it's winter. Many swimmers dashed in and out of the frigid waters within seconds. Some lingered in the buff to witness the winter sunrise. Festival organizers call the swim, as the.

[Chick McGee]

Sharks call it, breakfast.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that all you can eat?

[Josh Arnold]

Buffet and unwrapped?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Isn't that the.

[Chick McGee]

The most dangerous time is when it's chilly and it's night.

[Christy Lee]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

That's when the sharks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they like the cold water.

[Christy Lee]

Dawn. Yeah. Festival organizers call the swim a symbolic cleansing ritual. Closing out two weeks of provocative exhibitions, performances and pagan tinged revelry.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh boy.

[Christy Lee]

Started in 2013, Dark Mofo has grown into one of the most talked about festivals in the southern hemisphere.

[Josh Arnold]

Ace. They would call you Dark Mofo every now and again. Hey, doc Mofo.

[Chick McGee]

When Chick came back from his vacation.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I was, I was kind of. Yeah, from Aruba.

[Chick McGee]

You were very, very tan.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Did we get that picture? Did you ever find that? Oh, there it is. Yeah, there's thousands of naked people, man.

[Christy Lee]

They really.

[Josh Arnold]

And the one guy who's dressed. Two guys who are dressed are holding flares.

[Chick McGee]

I guess you don't want to be holding a flare like that and be naked.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but you don't want to be staying that close. Look how close.

[Henry Phillips]

The worst is those sparkly.

[Chick McGee]

Have you ever had a handle a sparkler while nude?

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, it's the worst.

[Chick McGee]

No, it's worse than frying bacon.

[Tom Griswold]

You ever prance around holding a sparkler nude? You ever do that?

[Chick McGee]

As I've always.

[Henry Phillips]

The fourth is coming up.

[Christy Lee]

Never naked. You know that.

[Chick McGee]

You could. But also, I don't care how masculine you are. You could give George Clooney a sparkler and all of a sudden you look.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, yeah. There's no way to look cool with those things there.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe you could be lighting dynamite and throwing it in into a building. You're not going to look cool. Yeah, I'm sorry, Christy. What else is happening?

[Christy Lee]

A British company has created an ultimate wall hanging for car fans. A $92,000 Ferrari. Oxfordshire based Headley Studios.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Has crafted a 75% scale representation of the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 Testarossa J. The company reports each piece was made using traditional hand forming and polishing techniques, taking over 300 hours of skilled craftsmanship.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey Godwin, how's your polishing technique?

[Pat Godwin]

It's pretty darn good.

[Tom Griswold]

I practice a lot. He's naughty. He's a naughty guy.

[Chick McGee]

So this is a fake car.

[Christy Lee]

Only 19 of the 10 foot long sculptures will be made available worldwide.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you mean it's a fake car? How much was is it?

[Christy Lee]

$92,000.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, of course it's a fake car. It's not even all there.

[Josh Arnold]

But the part of the. It's just not the whole car, right? No, it's not fake per se, but it's.

[Chick McGee]

This isn't a drivable Ferrari doesn't have wheels.

[Tom Griswold]

You want to come over to the apartment, see my Ferrari hanging on the wall?

[Christy Lee]

It's just the body of the car, if you will.

[Josh Arnold]

But it's the, it's what they would put on a real car, right?

[Christy Lee]

No, because it's 75% scale.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, gotcha. Gotcha.

[Chick McGee]

This is for the, the ultra rich guy that thinks paintings are gay.

[Tom Griswold]

So he's got a there Ultra rich guys, you think?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I don't want to, I don't want to have paintings up. I, I, he is some, some rich bro. Painting too gay. I'm gonna put up a chunk of a fake Ferrari.

[Josh Arnold]

I want you to be careful now because that one of these could end up in your neighborhood.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Or is in your house.

[Josh Arnold]

House. 92 grand for that?

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Henry Phillips]

Amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

You can just get a poster of a Ferrari.

[Chick McGee]

Again. Again, it's framed.

[Tom Griswold]

What are they thinking?

[Chick McGee]

Too gay for the bros.

[Tom Griswold]

There ought to be a law.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Imagine ditching the giant plug and instead charging your electric car with roof mounted solar panels. A video.

[Chick McGee]

This is a great idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Get a horse.

[Christy Lee]

Film that. A video filmed in Guangdong, China shows an SUV parked in the sun with massive panels attached to a roof rack. The man steps inside to reveal the battery charging at 3.0kW. Already at 68 capacity thanks only to the sun.

[Chick McGee]

Now that's all well and good that you see a photograph of it. Yeah, he's got, he's got like nine solar panels.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't realize when you said Roof. I didn't realize you meant the roof of the car. I thought he meant, like, it was a garage.

[Christy Lee]

Honestly, that's what I thought, too, when I read it.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, I thought. But, you know, it's like the planes. You know, when you look at the early footage of them with the plane, it wasn't quite. They didn't quite have the cosmetics yet.

[Chick McGee]

But as an eventuality, that would be pretty cool.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Except if there's a lot of cloudy days in a row. Car no go.

[Henry Phillips]

I. I don't know why we don't do the Flintstones method, you know, or you just push the thing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Well, this guy, if you keep reading, originally, he had a. A. One of those windmill gadgets on top of the car. The thing kept dropping in front of his windshield. He couldn't see it. Yeah, those things. I wonder how many people have driven off the road, like, past those wind farms.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, yeah, we have them all those things.

[Chick McGee]

Hypnotize. Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

They really look like dancers.

[Henry Phillips]

There'll be like a thousand of them, and there'll be one that's just not spinning and just stare at it like, why aren't you spitting, buddy?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Everywhere else.

[Christy Lee]

Not blowing there makes no.

[Chick McGee]

Then at night, would they sync up the.

[Henry Phillips]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Sync up the towers.

[Josh Arnold]

That is hypnotizing.

[Henry Phillips]

Well, yeah, there's all these red light. Well, over here in Illinois somewhere, I've done this drive where I see, like, a ton of red lights. I'm like, what in the hell's happening here?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there are aliens.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There are a lot of radio stations all in the same place. Well, thanks very much. Henry Phillips on the road. Henry, once again, Naperville, Illinois, this Saturday. And you'll be Henry's Kids Kitchen.

[Henry Phillips]

You can get tickets.

[Chick McGee]

What is it again?

[Henry Phillips]

There's only a couple tickets left, I think Henry's Kitchen just go to the tour section.

[Chick McGee]

But the place is called.

[Henry Phillips]

It's called Danny's Pub and Grill. I did it last year. It's a great place. They've got karaoke afterward, which I might. Might partake in.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, fun.

[Chick McGee]

What's your what's your Go to karaoke song?

[Henry Phillips]

Probably Babe by Sticks. That one's just got a lot of sentimental value. I usually have to tell them to take the key down one, but. Yeah, that one.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Henry Phillips]

Boy. Takes me back.

[Chick McGee]

Josh, what's your go to karaoke again?

[Josh Arnold]

I like Brandy. You're a fine girl Looking glass.

[Pat Godwin]

I touch myself to vinyls my way, if I'm being honest.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

I like a little Sinatra my way.

[Tom Griswold]

No, hold that last note.

[Pat Godwin]

Bring a lady back to your place and sing it again.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Henry Phillips]

Yeah, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

We did it my way.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

It's my way. Or the highway from behind.

[Chick McGee]

All right. Is that Frank's thing?

[Tom Griswold]

I think it might be.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, good to know. Thank you. Check out Henry Phillips at Henry's Dot Kitchen. No apostrophe. I'm sure you'll find some great stuff. It's always a pleasure. Henry, you're so funny. Oh, thank you for having me. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
