Chick McGee

Josh Arnold
We're not doing that.
Chick McGee
Yeah, he's the singer.
Josh Arnold
Look at that. Just a plain chocolate store bought cake for Patty.
Pat Godwin
He doesn't get one from the cake lady. Well, Pat, last year I didn't get one at all. This year I get a store bought cake.
Chick McGee
Well, lady retires.
Tom Griswold
In our. In our defense, since you hadn't been here for the last 10 days. Yeah, I didn't want to have Amy make a really.
Pat Godwin
I had a hang.
Tom Griswold
I didn't want like a Betty Ford logo on a cake, so I.
Pat Godwin
You don't need to go there. That was my ex wife listening.
Christy Lee
So uncomfortable right now.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to go to court.
Chick McGee
I don't want to go to court.
Tom Griswold
It was a. That's a nice little cake.
Christy Lee
It's a cute cake.
Tom Griswold
And it's got. It's got a candle for each decade you've been alive.
Christy Lee
I think you need.
Josh Arnold
This is a Kroger special.
Pat Godwin
$3.
Chick McGee
78.
Christy Lee
Can you be grateful for what you get?
Josh Arnold
Grateful? Well, let's cut into that enemy can you?
Tom Griswold
Don't. Don't blow those candles out. No, don't blow them out because I don't want to get your germs all over the cake.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's true. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
No, that's how it goes in the COVID era.
Josh Arnold
You don't blow out 100 bucks if you spit on that cake right now.
Pat Godwin
Chantilly cake, I get a crappy one.
Josh Arnold
Chantilly cake, I get a crappy one.
Pat Godwin
A Scott, a nice cake. $400 cake, I get a $3 cake.
Josh Arnold
The candles cost more than the damn cake.
Chick McGee
Yeah, hey, the plate cost more than.
Josh Arnold
Hey, just kick it into the sewer.
Chick McGee
We're not eating it.
Pat Godwin
I ain't touching that.
Josh Arnold
Remember earlier when I said about pills?
Chick McGee
See you in hell before I take a taste of that crap.
Josh Arnold
Rather eat worms.
Christy Lee
What is happening here?
Tom Griswold
Real bad. See Christy with her long needles?
Josh Arnold
We'll be lucky if this time next year Spam sponsors us.
Pat Godwin
It tastes better than that cake.
Tom Griswold
Did you see the writing in the. On the cake?
Pat Godwin
There was no writing in the cake.
Tom Griswold
He said, happy birthday, Pat Goodwin. But I wasn't going to spend three bucks for a second cake.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, why didn't we just throw a Twinkie at him? Happy birthday, you son of a. Hit you right in the chest with
Chick McGee
thanks for stopping by. Go back to Ireland. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow. I don't know.
Pat Godwin
Everybody else gets a $50k.
Tom Griswold
50.
Pat Godwin
It's more than that.
Chick McGee
That's too way low. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, the Bob and Tom show starts now. That's like a news thing. See a lot of news over the weekend. Oh, my gosh. They all say that the such and such news starts now.
Tom Griswold
All the weekday anchors had to come back.
Chick McGee
Starts now. Oh, yeah. Hello, Christy.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Chick McGee
She's over there at the news center. Speaking of news there. And it's not news, it's news. There's Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Hartles.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
Wow. Ace Cosby. He's wiping his glasses. I know the struggle. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom. Hello. You're not gonna last long in those short sleeves in this room, pal.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm just a little toasty. All right.
Chick McGee
I. Oh, hey, I know you're hot. Yeah, I've got a.
Tom Griswold
What is this called? A fleece. Just in case. All right, sir, Check local listings.
Chick McGee
Shacket.
Tom Griswold
And I don't like the word shacket.
Josh Arnold
Love it.
Chick McGee
Really. Shack it. I'm up to my hips and shackets.
Christy Lee
Are you obsession?
Chick McGee
I love shack. No, no, not a new obsession at all.
Tom Griswold
Technically, what is a shacket?
Chick McGee
A shirt, jacket, Shacket. Okay, you really have a jerk. Maybe, huh?
Tom Griswold
Okay, that sounds like something like a commercial with Shaquille o'. Neal. Hey, shack it.
Chick McGee
No, just like you. Yeah, I got a shacket. Okay, it's a 5x, but I have a shack.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, we have a huge news. In the world of scoreboards, you'll be.
Chick McGee
Well, we all know how. We all know how fascinated Tom is with the scoreboard.
Christy Lee
That's true.
Tom Griswold
Scoreboard technology is just amazing.
Christy Lee
It's come a long way.
Chick McGee
It just took off. You actually really noticed it. What? Last year, late last year, you went to a WWA game and I lost your mind. The scoreboard, you said, keeps you up to date on everything.
Tom Griswold
I mean, everything.
Chick McGee
Everything.
Tom Griswold
They got everything up there. I mean, when I grew up, the scoreboard at Cleveland Stadium, there were two guys sweating, but with metal numbers trying to keep up.
Christy Lee
And it's at home. Visitor, Right?
Chick McGee
Yeah, pretty sure.
Tom Griswold
Exactly. They were too cheap to even put up.
Josh Arnold
Cleese.
Tom Griswold
Cle.
Chick McGee
Wrigley Field.
Tom Griswold
Still.
Chick McGee
Still has.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's, of course, classic.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, right.
Tom Griswold
But I mean, just unbelievable stats. It's great. Now, that's, of course, to accommodate the betting on every play, but we have an oddball story from the NBA about something involving a scoreboard.
Chick McGee
If you say so.
Tom Griswold
It's an anomaly in the Something, something on the sporting.
Chick McGee
Something on the scoreboard got stuck and they just had to unplug.
Tom Griswold
No need to give away the whole story. This is called a teaser.
Chick McGee
It's not a big damn deal. But I know you're excited about it. You're excited world. I think. Fascinating.
Tom Griswold
I think, let's face it, the NBA has gotten so boring. This is the most exciting story.
Chick McGee
No, that is. That is a actual point that you're making there. Believe it or not, that's one of the problems. The WNBA guys are saying they up and down the court and they shoot a three. America likes the three, but they don't like. They want to see drives to the bucket. They want to see slam dunks. They don't want to see some guy that looks like Christy Lee out there on the. See, that's the way it used to be, right? John Paxton, three point shot. That's your job. Steve Kirk, a three point. That's your job. But now Victor Wembanyama can drain the 3. He's 7 4.
Christy Lee
Also, he should be driving the arts there.
Tom Griswold
Didn't we discover that there are young men at the NFL combine that are actually faster off the line than a. Than John Force? I can a race car.
Christy Lee
That's a good enough.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's a dragster guy.
Christy Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Chick McGee
Six five, 244 pounds. That's Ohio State linebacker Sonny Stiles. Six five two four four. Ran a 4.4 40.
Josh Arnold
I mean, that shouldn't be possible.
Chick McGee
He's coming at you. Here he comes. He's going to tackle you.
Tom Griswold
Good luck.
Chick McGee
He's running. And that's just a drill game speed, probably a tick faster.
Christy Lee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
You could drop me from an airplane. I wouldn't do the first 40 yards that fast.
Chick McGee
You know the. But you'll like this story from the combine over the weekend. Did you watch the combine at all like I did? Did you?
Tom Griswold
No, I had a great weekend.
Chick McGee
Did you turn the sound down and play music that you hadn't heard before and watch combine?
Tom Griswold
Oh, I got everything done.
Josh Arnold
You got.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Tom Griswold
I went to. I went to the hardware store at least three times. I went to Hobby Lobby. I got it all done.
Christy Lee
What were you making?
Tom Griswold
All kinds.
Chick McGee
I just fixed everything up, Tom. Oh, you say I hit the lobby.
Tom Griswold
I hit the lobby, yeah.
Chick McGee
You don't say. You don't say Hobby and lobby.
Tom Griswold
I'd never been there before. Before.
Chick McGee
You'd never been to the lobby? No, the lobby is. I needed some stuff.
Tom Griswold
I Had to do some sewing. And my. Yes.
Chick McGee
As.
Tom Griswold
And as the only heterosexual man that used to frequent Joanne Fabrics.
Chick McGee
Oh, my God. I.
Tom Griswold
They closed.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Didn't know what to do.
Chick McGee
If you want a. A fish standing up on its fin with a clock in its belly, the lobby has it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah. I didn't realize what they had. I didn't. Needed a bunch of other stuff.
Chick McGee
So if you want a gnome that spins his head toward the direction of the wind with a big red cap, he puts you your front yard. The lobby has it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I got all kinds of stuff, but I had a great weekend. It just got every little task at my house.
Christy Lee
Making a little jumper. What were you.
Chick McGee
No, I had to do your dress for the spring formal.
Tom Griswold
I had to fix some curtains. It's too boring to explain.
Christy Lee
Point. Okay.
Chick McGee
I had to fix.
Tom Griswold
I fixed my garage door opener. Just everything I had had to get done, I got done. It was great.
Chick McGee
Now, does that mean you put batteries in the remote, or what does that mean when you said you fix your garage door opener because you could take your hand off trying to do something like that?
Tom Griswold
No, no, the remote code thing, you know, you pump the code in, it opens the garage door.
Christy Lee
You had to put a new battery in that.
Pat Godwin
Pump the code in.
Tom Griswold
Yes. It's quite tricky, Chris.
Chick McGee
You know what I've done? You know what I'. There's a button on my rear view mirror. I push that button after I'd programmed it. Push that button, garage door comes up. Josh, you got a. One of those. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You push. You program it, right? Push the button.
Josh Arnold
Yep. You don't need the. The remote that it came with.
Tom Griswold
But, Josh, if you go on a walk.
Chick McGee
Josh.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You get back to your house and you want to go in the garage.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I can hit that code.
Tom Griswold
Hit that little code thing.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, right.
Tom Griswold
You know, those things eventually burn up.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I'm surprised yours burned up so quickly.
Tom Griswold
So.
Chick McGee
But how long you been in your house? What, 20, 25 years?
Tom Griswold
Two.
Chick McGee
Two years.
Josh Arnold
Two years seems pretty. That seems too soon to have to change that.
Chick McGee
Yeah, but.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, and then. But when you do, then you got to get on a ladder, you got to climb up, and you got to hit one button, get down from the ladder, run out to the thing, hit the code.
Chick McGee
Well, that's the learning. It's learning. Yeah, because you got a rolling code.
Tom Griswold
I got that done.
Josh Arnold
One of those. Oh, that's good. It's nice to have that done.
Chick McGee
Wait a minute. Hold it. You're saying you got it done?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Oh, that was. I got the curtain thing done.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
I. I got so much done.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Got some sewing done.
Christy Lee
I like it.
Tom Griswold
That's right. I can so.
Chick McGee
But you didn't have time to watch combine.
Tom Griswold
I couldn't care less, man.
Chick McGee
You're just not a fan, are you?
Tom Griswold
Not that much. I've got a life I lead on my own.
Chick McGee
I tell you, I tried to watch it with the sound up, and those guys were driving me nuts, so I had to turn it down and play regular.
Tom Griswold
You know, there's only so much NFL I can take. It's. I enjoy watching a game occasionally, but I don't have to know the jockstrap size of some goon from Ohio State.
Chick McGee
What did you just say? A goon?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
He's eight feet tall. You can run the 40 in two seconds.
Chick McGee
What was a guy? Six, nine.
Tom Griswold
Three.
Chick McGee
46. Nine. 346. Ran like a five.
Tom Griswold
One.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. See, physics tells us that that man should fall apart as he's going that fast. 9. But there's an arm and you would
Tom Griswold
be the first one to tell me, though sometimes the young men who perform the best at the combine end up being total busts.
Chick McGee
Certainly that's the thing. They have been trying a surefire way to find out who is going to be successful in the NFL for decades. As long as. As long as the league's been alive.
Tom Griswold
And a certain would be quarterback did a backflip at the combine, got drafted early, and he's been a complete disaster.
Chick McGee
Brock Purdy, the last guy chosen the starting quarterback for the Niners. Who would have thought our good buddy
Tom Griswold
Jeff Saturday, last guy. Last guy picked, ends up being a tremendous athlete.
Chick McGee
Well, that makes sense. Saturday's kind of squat and slow and not real smart.
Tom Griswold
Oh, God, Jeff, please come and pound him.
Josh Arnold
Chick. We have a surprise for you.
Tom Griswold
He's only the nicest, most honest, great guy.
Chick McGee
I haven't seen him in forever.
Tom Griswold
As charitable a man, a tremendous broadcaster.
Chick McGee
If irritating him makes him show up and punch me, I. At least it's worth it. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Got a signed jersey out there from Jeff. What they should do to make the combine more fun is award prizes. Like, big ones. Because some of these guys, some of these guys aren't going to get drafted, but they're great. Like best. Best 40 yard dash and by weight class, you win 100 grand. Come on, incentivize it.
Chick McGee
100 grand, huh?
Tom Griswold
People could bet on it.
Christy Lee
Oh, my gosh.
Tom Griswold
This is. This is. Wait a minute. This is a great. I can't believe I'm giving this idea to the NFL for free. Being able to bet on the combine,
Chick McGee
that would be impossible. There's too many variables. Or I. I guess you could top 40 time, stuff like that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I thought you could. Oh, can you? Yeah.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Beats me. I'm just saying they. They're not giving guys prizes though, are they?
Chick McGee
It seems ridiculous.
Pat Godwin
They gave one guy a toaster, I think.
Christy Lee
Did they?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Toaster. Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Pretty nice.
Tom Griswold
Oh, nice. Four slicer.
Chick McGee
There was a guy who were on one best mullet. You'll see him later.
Tom Griswold
Oh, good.
Chick McGee
Gorgeous red mullet.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, we have your letters. Some exciting stuff. In the. In the world of news today, we have a huge thing about natural laxatives. In the news, we have what you. What your kid might find in his lunchbox that contains alcohol.
Chick McGee
Did you say natural accident?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Celestial news coming up. This is a cool story.
Josh Arnold
Everything is still where it should be, right? The sun is.
Tom Griswold
Oh, but. Oh, but there's a whole thing in the. In the. In the world of extraterrestrials. No. What do they call people who believe in astrology?
Chick McGee
Astrologers.
Tom Griswold
Astrologists. Okay, good. There's a whole big thing about astrology, about the planets. They're like seven of them are visible or something.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. Tonight, all kinds of cool stuff. Six, I think.
Tom Griswold
And we. We have candy that's infused with Viagra.
Josh Arnold
Oh, man.
Tom Griswold
Illegally. That's out there. You may have have one of those in your beds at the end. We'll find out about that.
Josh Arnold
Talk about hard candy.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yes. By definition. Thank you very much.
Chick McGee
And speaking of Josh, what's sitting behind Josh there?
Tom Griswold
Tom, that is a beautiful aura frame. I am a huge fan of aura frames and what it's like. It's. Right now. I can't see who that is. Oh, that's a Nick Griffin and Ali Breen. And that's switching to a picture of us dressed as presidents. I'm Franklin Roosevelt in the wheelchair.
Chick McGee
Is that me as Grant?
Tom Griswold
Is Christy Truman in that?
Chick McGee
Kids.
Christy Lee
No, I wasn't here that year.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Who is that?
Josh Arnold
I don't know.
Tom Griswold
Who you.
Josh Arnold
Who you. Look. That is you in the picture.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh, maybe it is. Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
In any event, it's rotating pictures there. These beautiful photographs.
Chick McGee
You're talking about when she was dressed as Teddy Roosevelt.
Christy Lee
That's the only one I remember.
Chick McGee
And had the mustache.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I just. It's. It's. The aura frame is a little too far away. But the point is that it contains lots of pictures and you can load this remotely. It's a great gift. I'm a huge fan. When they first brought one in here, I immediately got one and I have one at my house in the hallway when you first walk in by the garage where I just of course installed that new thing I told you about earlier. This is a great gift. You preloaded if you want and then just say you give one to your mom. You could send her a new picture every day. And even if she lives in a different state, free unlimited storage no matter where she lives. Yeah, there might be certain exceptions, I would imagine. I think they're legal in every state and it's a great way to share photos. It's really cool. And it also stores videos. It's been named number one by Wirecutter. You can save on this great gift if you visit auraframes.com and use the promo code.
Chick McGee
Tom.
Tom Griswold

Tom Griswold
hey.
Chick McGee
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. We're the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hey.
Chick McGee
At the news desk, there's Pat Godwin.
Tom Griswold
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Hello. I'm Chick McGee. Hello. Tom.
Tom Griswold
I. It's. This is kind of odd to mention this, but I know Josh does not like it when I mention dreams. I try not to very often, except I had the weirdest dream and Josh was in it.
Josh Arnold
No, I think you get an exception because you don't abuse it.
Tom Griswold
Okay, this. I have no explanation for this because I. Josh is someone who's got a very even temper, tends not to get extremely angry unless it's. It's appropriate. Okay, so in the stream, we're doing a special broadcast. We're all in here, and we have sent Josh out on a fishing boat. And he's by himself on a bass boat. And it's incredibly hot and the sun is shining. And he starts screaming at me because his face is burning. And then in my dream, of course, I can see him and his face, he's got these huge patches of skin fall. Oh, this terrible, terrible sunburn. And he's just cursing me out on the radio. And then I woke up.
Christy Lee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Of course, I had a full erection, but the. No, no, I mean, I. That I woke up one. What? How about, what is happening to me? Why would I dream that?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, the brain does something.
Tom Griswold
I know you love to fish, but the fact that we were making you do it, the fish weren't biting and you were frying.
Christy Lee
That's because you're a bully.
Tom Griswold
Even when I'm dreaming.
Chick McGee
Oh, well, you bully in your dream.
Christy Lee
Did you guys make it to the boat show?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Went to a boat show last week. It was great.
Christy Lee
Did you buy a boat?
Josh Arnold
No, no. Stole one.
Christy Lee
Did you?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
They're just sitting there.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
There were a bunch of them. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Do you buy some tackle? You buy a whizzer or a climber Nelly or something?
Josh Arnold
What is it? Oh, yeah, you can get yourself a Whopper Plopper.
Tom Griswold
That's right.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Who names those?
Chick McGee
We could do it.
Tom Griswold
We could do a thing. Is this the name of a horse running in the Kentucky Derby? Or a fishing lure?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And the clubhouse turned as Whopper Clopper.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. You got the old slobber knocker there.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, slobber knocker.
Tom Griswold
Naming things is really interesting. There's a. There are. There are firms that do that for various businesses. It's real tricky giving things cool names, but I always love the one of. Is it a alternate alternative band or a Kentucky Derby entry? We'll be looking forward to the derby just around the corner way. Now. Someone's gonna have to do an impression for me in a second here.
Announcer
All right.
Chick McGee
Is it Raymond Burr?
Tom Griswold
No, it's not. It's. It's Greg Warren meeting Greg Warren. By the way, I watched Greg on Nate Bradzi's new game show.
Christy Lee
Yes. And how was it? I didn't get to see.
Tom Griswold
And Greg had a great line, by the way. Really terrific ad lib. And what is the show called? The Average American Something.
Josh Arnold
The greatest average.
Tom Griswold
The greatest Average American was fun. It was on ABC with Nate. Great stuff. Anyway, when Greg was on. On a Friday, he did something that this letter will acknowledge. Dear morning kings and queen of radio.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
This is from Joe. I work for Casey's as a pizza maker. So first of all, God bless you. God bless the pizza.
Chick McGee
Casey's got some great pizza, by the way.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Is there a patron saint of pizza making, by the way?
Christy Lee
Oh, I don't know. I'll have to look that up.
Tom Griswold
I assume he's would be Italian, right?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yes.
Chick McGee
Well, a lot of your. A lot of your saints are Italian, Tom.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Seems to be a disproportionate. Disproportionate number of Italian.
Chick McGee
I'm just saying.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it seems a little odd to me too. Okay, I'm sorry. Well, Jesus was Italian, right?
Christy Lee
I think so.
Tom Griswold
Okay, good.
Chick McGee
Good. Way of Bethlehem.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, okay, sure.
Chick McGee
Hello?
Tom Griswold
He goes. This is once again Joe the pizza maker. I got an order yesterday. The customer's name was Dan Gardner.
Josh Arnold
No way.
Tom Griswold
All I could hear in my head was Greg Warren answering the phone as his old client, Dan Gardner.
Chick McGee
I can't do it justice.
Josh Arnold
I can't help but think that maybe that person also listened. That coincidence is too strong.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's.
Chick McGee
We need to have Greg isolated doing Dan Gardner because I don't think anything.
Tom Griswold
Do we have it? We're getting.
Josh Arnold
I'll give you my best one and then we'll.
Tom Griswold
Okay, okay.
Josh Arnold
Dan Gardner.
Tom Griswold
That's pretty good.
Chick McGee
Pretty darn close.
Tom Griswold
And Dan Gardner was a client of Greg's and he. And when he was in sales and this. That's how he would answer his phone. Oh, and it was so special. Just right in the solid Place where you want it to be. Not too weird, but not ordinary.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Just had that sauce on it. Dan Gardner. It's pretty good. You got to give it a knee.
Chick McGee
Gardner.
Tom Griswold
There are certain broadcasters that have that where they. When they identify themselves, they have a certain way they pitch it that's just extra special. They put a pause in it or a little. A little sauce of some. Of some sort. I don't think any of us here have that necessarily.
Chick McGee
I don't know if we don't need
Josh Arnold
that affectation, but I don't know if
Chick McGee
people say they put sauce on it. I thought it was flavor. You put some flavor.
Tom Griswold
I think it's similar.
Chick McGee
I. I think it's yours.
Christy Lee
Flavors.
Chick McGee
And so. Yeah, but he came up with sauce, and there's nothing he's ever come up with. Has been cutting edge, hip. You know that. Thank you. No, it's just.
Tom Griswold
It's original and to the point.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Solid analogous to genius. Thank you.
Chick McGee
You know, longer the day they're gone that. I thought you were kidding when you said stuff like that. Yeah, I thought that was charming. Dear Bob and Tom show. Stop bothering me at work.
Josh Arnold
Oh, our apology.
Chick McGee
Holy hell. This is from Craig. Over the weekend, he was listening to a best of driving across I90 in South Dakota. Listening on the podcast. Took a big swig of coffee, and I heard Christy say to Tom, I'll drive a semi up your ass.
Christy Lee
I did say that.
Chick McGee
I had to pull over and wipe coffee off my windshield.
Tom Griswold
Well, at one point, Craig from Sioux Falls, we went to one of those driving schools.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we did.
Tom Griswold
And Christy got to drive one of the big rigs.
Christy Lee
Sure did. Loved it.
Tom Griswold
Very tricky.
Chick McGee
We were in the parking lot, but we were driving the big rigs.
Christy Lee
We were.
Tom Griswold
I had a parallel park Saturday night. I was.
Josh Arnold
Oh, troublesome.
Tom Griswold
I can't. It's. I hate it.
Chick McGee
Oh, there's a trick.
Tom Griswold
I know there's a trick, but whatever
Chick McGee
it is, rear view mirror.
Tom Griswold
I don't know what it is.
Chick McGee
Look at my lineup. The driver's side, tail light to the curbside headlight and whipper in there.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show.
Chick McGee
What am I, invisible?
Tom Griswold
Comes. This comes to us from Chris in Bakersfield, California.
Chick McGee
Oh, and the home of Buck Owens, of course. Oh, yeah, that sounds Susan Ray. Is that her name?
Christy Lee
Had some fun in Bakersfield.
Josh Arnold
Does Chris have to say, I've always
Tom Griswold
wondered, Pat, you and I. I've always wondered what it must have been like for Buck Owens. He's a young singer, songwriter. He gets on a Beatles album way Early.
Pat Godwin
No kidding.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That had to be a gigantic chick.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Lots of money, great songs. Okay, I agree.
Chick McGee
Only the exact opposite. Go ahead.
Tom Griswold
You don't like that song.
Chick McGee
Act Naturally.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Pat Godwin
That was a Ringo. They gave it to Ringo. You know, he has a song.
Tom Griswold
If people that don't like Ringo, he's great.
Josh Arnold
Who's listening to Buck Owens in the Creedence song? What. What Creature? Or what? My Back Door?
Chick McGee
That's something to accounting. Flowers on the Wall. No, that's the Statler Brothers.
Josh Arnold
But yeah, the. He references Buck Owens in that song, but I can't remember who he says is listening to it or doing something.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, that's good reference to Buck Owens. Right, that part.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Recently you were discussing that there was only one year that the Grammys awarded Best Disco Album, which I thought was really odd. They had a new category and then they abandoned it almost immediately. Well, I recently was running through some older materials on your show and I heard your tribute to Disco with Sammy Davis Jr. Now, this was a television show. No one believed me that this existed.
Chick McGee
I still don't believe it.
Tom Griswold
The Disco Lifestyle Awards, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Right, right, right.
Tom Griswold
It was an award show and they actually gave Sammy Davis Jr. The Lifetime Achievement award. Now, this show, because when you think
Christy Lee
disco, you think Sammy Davis Jr. Well,
Tom Griswold
this show is not. I have been unable to find it anywhere in the world of the Internet. You think it'd be floating around. It was a Dick Clark production.
Josh Arnold
You saw some reference to it in a.
Tom Griswold
And then. Yes. Someone sent us a copy of Jet magazine that has the. It's a. Got a TV Guide in it. And it has the Disco Lifestyle.
Josh Arnold
There you go.
Tom Griswold
And if you Google it, what you'll find is a reference to this. This piece that we created with satiric intent. And it goes as follows.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, performing a musical number
Tom Griswold
written especially for this evening, the Disco
Chick McGee
Lifestyle Award are proud to present Sammy Davis Jr. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Thank you, man.
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, man. Let's hit it for me.
Chick McGee
Here we go. I like to live but there's no light lifestyle I like to build an art disco world I want to disco marry you and have a disco family and we'll all live in a disco. I love the disco lifestyle I love
Pat Godwin
the disco lifestyle all right, let's.
Tom Griswold
You know. Disco has always.
Chick McGee
Man, I have lost my eye.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that is just fantastic.
Josh Arnold
Is that an actual song he is singing?
Tom Griswold
No, it's.
Josh Arnold
You guys just made it up.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Ricky. Oh, God, that's.
Chick McGee
You know, he lost his Eye in a car crash, the center, the center of the steering wheel jutted out, hit
Josh Arnold
him right now it was he and Sandy Duncan, right?
Chick McGee
They're in the same yard, same car. What are the options?
Christy Lee
He was sitting on his lap.
Chick McGee
Sitting on his lap.
Tom Griswold
And Shenan, is there a go to person with one eye now?
Chick McGee
I think it ended with Sandy Duncan. I don't think there is a one eyed famous public.
Josh Arnold
Somebody must.
Christy Lee
Somebody.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sure.
Chick McGee
But maybe, yeah, keep it on the down low. You think maybe, you know, is there
Tom Griswold
a famous star with.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
The glass.
Chick McGee
You think Hosier just has one eye or whatever the hell his name is. Somebody like that.
Tom Griswold
Somber, by the way, ladies and gentlemen,
Chick McGee
without any dua, Lipa only has one eye.
Tom Griswold
Further ado, please. Here it comes from Greg Warren.
Chick McGee
Ben Gardner. Oh, that's nice, man. That's gorgeous.
Josh Arnold
I go, greg, are you prepared for the next three years for that to be your life? You walking around and people just shouting, Dan Gardner. And he goes, me. Do you think Dan Gardner's prepared?
Tom Griswold
Once again, if you get a chance, watch Greg on our show from Friday and the Dan Gardner hunter.
Chick McGee
Georgia.
Christy Lee
I'm gonna have to do that.
Tom Griswold
I can't tell you how it is so funny, but there's no reason is it's so great. He does such a tremendous job. Now, on a completely different note, we were talking about that guy whose name I'm forgetting, the guy that climbed the tower in Taipei or whatever it was. And there's a great interview with him. I forget where it was.
Christy Lee
Taiwan, wasn't it?
Tom Griswold
I think it was in Taiwan.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's one of the tallest buildings in the world. The guy climbs it free climbs and.
Chick McGee
Well, if it's in Dubai, they better hurry.
Tom Griswold
Yes, shrapnel makes it a little more difficult. We're going to talk to a guy today that is a former professional tower climber.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Because we just had the. We just had one of the bulbs on one of the towers where we are at the radio station. We were wondering what it costs.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And what was it like something a square foot.
Chick McGee
Something a foot.
Josh Arnold
Not a square foot.
Tom Griswold
A vertical foot.
Josh Arnold
Vertical foot, yeah, it was something.
Christy Lee
$15. It wasn't as much as I thought. $15.
Tom Griswold
It was like doing this one would be like 1500 bucks. One of the ones out here. We're going to talk to someone who does that.
Chick McGee
That's not enough.
Christy Lee
That's what we said.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
We're going to find out.
Chick McGee
It'd be flat fee, $25,000. If you want me to. To Climb up and change a light? No.
Tom Griswold
What happens if you're on the tower that gets hit by lightning?
Christy Lee
You get hit by lightning, you're gonna be in trouble.
Tom Griswold
Okay, well, that's gotta be tricky.
Christy Lee
Unless you're grounded some way.
Josh Arnold
Those things hit by lightning? More than we know.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Anything tall like that, they're just constantly being hit by light.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
If you're here, you'll see.
Chick McGee
You think Victor Wembanyama gets hit by lightning?
Josh Arnold
I think at least seven feet, four times a year.
Tom Griswold
Have you ever seen the. Because some of. Some of the towers have. Have guy wires that rather than being freestanding, the ones that look like the Eiffel Tower are freestanding. But the ones that have the wires that go down to the ground. You ever see. Been here and the. You see those balls of electricity go up the wires.
Josh Arnold
That's got to be cool.
Tom Griswold
You've seen that, right?
Chick McGee
I remember when the tower fell down.
Tom Griswold
Well, one of them fell down. That was. That was because of the wind. It was a tornado. But yeah, you see the electricity going back up. It's very cool.
Josh Arnold
That must be cool.
Chick McGee
Is it. Is it guy wire or guide wire?
Christy Lee
I always thought it was guide.
Chick McGee
And if it's guy wire, I'm. I'm sorry. I'm changing my name from Chick McGee to Guy Wire.
Josh Arnold
I like it a lot.
Chick McGee
Guy wire and sports.
Tom Griswold
Is it guide wire?
Chick McGee
I don't know.
Christy Lee
It's a guide wire, right?
Tom Griswold
I have no idea. I don't know.
Chick McGee
I think it might be Guy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Huh.
Tom Griswold
I. I don't know. Let's. I'll just look it up too.
Josh Arnold
The Guy is a guide now.
Tom Griswold
We're just.
Josh Arnold
I mean, this is.
Chick McGee
We would be lost without our guide. Guy Wire. How about that?
Tom Griswold
There's probably some DJ name.
Chick McGee
Hey, Guy, you know what?
Christy Lee
Tom's right. They're called guy wires.
Chick McGee
Gui.
Christy Lee
Gui for guy lines. Guys. These tension galvanized steel cables run from the tower to anchored spots on the ground.
Chick McGee
Well, hi. I'm Guy Wire. Sports coming up. Yeah, huh?
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Chick McGee
Yeah, why not? Chick hasn't worked out.
Christy Lee
No idea.
Chick McGee
It's time to try something else.
Tom Griswold
Right now I want to talk about something brand new for the show. Have you looked at your credit card statement lately? What?
Chick McGee
Why do you say stuff like that?
Josh Arnold
I try not to.
Tom Griswold
You're working 40, 50 hours a week just to get groceries and gas up and running. And in your gut and in your
Chick McGee
house, sometimes there's more month than money.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Very good. Very good. The credit card companies, they could be charging you over 20% interest for the privilege of leaving a lot on that card. So over 20% interest, that's gonna keep you underwater. I think American Financing is doing something the credit card companies hate. They're actually helping people. They have mortgage rates in the fives. They're showing homeowners how to use their equity to wipe out that high interest debt. The average savings is $800 a month from American Financing. If you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. Call their salary based mortgage consultants today. You can call them at 866-889-2611. That's 866-889-2611. Or go to American financing.net bobandtom Once again, that's Americanfinancing.net bobandtom and find out all the details. NMLS 182334 this is kind a name I'm going to give you. NMIS consumeraccess.org for more information. APR for rates in the fives start at 5.196% for well qualified Bowers borrowers. Excuse me. Call 866-889-2611 for the details, credit costs and terms or just visit. It's much easier just to go to american financing.net Bob and Tom. Coming up, we have Sporting News. We have more of your letters.

Christy Lee
Hey, chick.
Chick McGee
There we go. Watch my dog get shot.
Justin Scott
Hi.
Christy Lee
Hey.
Chick McGee
Hi. There's Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
My mom used to leave us messages on Our. All of our birthdays, my brothers and I. And we always cringed and made fun of her because.
Chick McGee
Happy birthday.
Josh Arnold
What are you doing? She was like, well, it was 5:30am When I did, and I just wanted to stay quiet. We were like, well, you can't do it.
Tom Griswold
That Marilyn Monroe spin. Oh, God, that is very creepy.
Chick McGee
Well, that was some dress too she was wearing, huh? That was a hell of a dress.
Tom Griswold
How pissed was Jackie?
Chick McGee
How about that? Assuming there's Ace Cosby, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
I want to catch up with something we were talking about a few minutes ago. We got a nice letter from Bakersfield, California. And of course,
Chick McGee
Tiger by the tail,
Josh Arnold
it's plain to say.
Tom Griswold
And I was mentioning Buck Owens, of course, fine songwriter.
Chick McGee
And the Buckaroos.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And Buck became even more famous.
Chick McGee
The fabulous Don Rich on Hee Hawkins. And my favorite he haw to this day is if you watch it now because they, they, they. I don't know how many they filmed, but they just dropped. You know, they just all put it all, mashed them all together. And they go to Buck and he goes, here's Susan Ray. I. It's just he. He's not laughing at anything, right?
Josh Arnold
He's supposed to be laughing at, like the sketch that just ended.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. And you know that. You know that he's.
Chick McGee
Grandpa. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He was able to show up for four hours. They filmed the next six months of the show.
Chick McGee
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
But, yeah, but great songwriter. I was. Pat and I were kind of thinking about the fact that, you know, he. Buck Owens had a song on one of the early Beatles albums that out of nowhere, he must have gotten a check for a billion dollars as the songwriter because they covered one of his tunes. But. This is one of his famous songs. Now, I. I've got the one you asked. Asked about, which is the. The song Out, Out My Back Door.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. Ccr. And they reference Buck Owens.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And the lyric is. I think this is a song about a guy taking acid.
Josh Arnold
It sure seems like it. He sees some wild things out. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
He goes. He just got home from Illinois Locked the front door oh, boy. Gotta sit down and take a rest on the porch.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Imagination sets in pretty soon. Pretty soon I'm singing doo doo doo Looking out my back door. And then he says that he. Here's what he's seeing. A giant doing cartwheels A statue wearing high heels. Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn. So these seem to be visions of some sort. And then a dinosaur Victrola and That's
Josh Arnold
listening to Buck Owens.
Tom Griswold
Listening to Buck Owens. Here's a little bit of it, but it's. Yeah, a dinosaur Victrola. Listening to Buck Owens. Do, do, do. Looking out my back door.
Chick McGee
Listening to buck owens.
Tom Griswold
You gotta hand it to him. The near rhyme of Victrola and Buck Owens.
Josh Arnold
Not bad.
Christy Lee
I never knew that was a dinosaur Victrola.
Tom Griswold
I, I never knew that I did, but I, I.
Josh Arnold
What do you guys think it is? I've always pictured a big sort of brontosaurus looking thing laying kind of on his back. And his belly is actually a Victrola. And he just sort of of controls it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think he kind of means like a really old. Like an old.
Josh Arnold
The dinosaur.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But the thing is, I think this. I think he was on acid.
Josh Arnold
Well, he claims it's just his imagination.
Chick McGee
You forget how popular CCR was.
Tom Griswold
For a good reason.
Chick McGee
They were crazy.
Tom Griswold
There's a great argument to be made that I think in one year they released three albums. All of them are perfect.
Chick McGee
That cosmos is.
Tom Griswold
Maybe the Beatles did the same thing. To be that good for in that burst of incredible sweet hitch.
Chick McGee
A high count.
Pat Godwin
Oh, that's great.
Josh Arnold
I think the dinosaur's there, guys.
Christy Lee
You think the dinosaurs are there?
Josh Arnold
We're already talking about giants doing cartwheels. Happy creatures.
Chick McGee
Not that it's a really old Victrola.
Josh Arnold
No, it's. He means there's a dinosaur with a Victrola.
Tom Griswold
So it's like in the Flintstones where the bird puts its beak on the. On the spinning stone.
Josh Arnold
I hope so. Yes.
Tom Griswold
That's one of my favorite. I wish I could have been in the staff writing for the Flintstones. Trying to think of things you could have animals doing. That's so funny. Just absolute classic stuff. In any event, that was our tribute to Bakersfield and the great Buck Owens. He owned a bunch of radio stations.
Chick McGee
Yes, he did. I tried to get a job at one of them.
Tom Griswold
Did you know?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Well, you're not quite qualified to work. Well, Ms. Jo.
Chick McGee
Just last week and
Tom Griswold
now. Oh, you got a letter over there.
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Top show. My name is Mike.
Christy Lee
Hi, Mike.
Chick McGee
I'm from Van Buren, Arkansas.
Josh Arnold
Oh, the Van Buren Boys.
Chick McGee
Yeah. 13th President of the United States. If I recall, there are drive through liquor stores on every corner in Van Buren, Arkansas you and I were talking about. Yeah, liquor stores in our. Our home state, Ohio now.
Tom Griswold
But can they give you an open drink is the question.
Chick McGee
He doesn't say that. But he says they are open 7am to 1am and they even sell Moonshine.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Chick McGee
And without revealing too much, I know that CVS will not sell you liquor before 7am I know that. No matter, no matter how hard, how hard you try, no matter how you are, or I forget which one of
Tom Griswold
you mentioned this, but you walked into a cvs, you couldn't find a clerk.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's, that's anybody you talk to.
Tom Griswold
Sunday morning I drove to cvs and I had to. I had to. I had purchased something that was defective.
Chick McGee
You better not get me in CVS sideways, pal.
Tom Griswold
No, so, so I walk in.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
If they want to check the camera. I walk through the entire store, every aisle, looking around. Hello? I don't see anybody.
Pat Godwin
Nope.
Tom Griswold
So I just walk over to the section where I got the thing that was defective. I took the good one, put it in my bag, took the bad one, stuck it on a different shelf, bought a couple packs of gum and walked out.
Chick McGee
And you self checked?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You did not shoplift.
Tom Griswold
No, because the one that they sold me was defective.
Josh Arnold
Greg Warren says in a brilliant bit about this, you have every right to do what you did.
Tom Griswold
But I was happy to walk up to the clerk and go, there was a soul in there. And then as I was leaving, five or six people walked in and I looked back and they were all looking around for somebody. What time of day was when they first opened? Probably eight o' clock on a Sunday.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it happens.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
But I had better things to do. But I did buy some watermelon chewing gum. My favorite.
Chick McGee
Here's my contention. I think all the CVS's are on some sort of timer lock and they open up rather whether whether anybody's in the, in the, in the store or not.
Tom Griswold
I see 8am coming up. We have a guy who climbs towers for a living.
Christy Lee
Shouldn't you call them and tell them you put a bad one there so they'll know?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, no, I put it, you know, I put it right by the cash register.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
I didn't put a word.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it was.
Chick McGee
I, I would have found it hard not to fling it back at the, you know, just throw it and hit the back wall. Were you not irritated in the lease?
Tom Griswold
No, I'm sure someone's working hard. They must have been in the back.
Christy Lee
Yeah, must have been working hard.
Josh Arnold
Doing what?
Tom Griswold
They need sleeping, they need to have a bell or something.
Pat Godwin
But I don't think they can get enough employees.
Tom Griswold
And they've cut back on the length of the receipts because there were innumerable jokes about how long the receipts were there.
Chick McGee
I don't know. They still spit them out pretty good lengths.
Tom Griswold
Not like back in the day, you could buy three items and make yourself a mummy costume. Coming up, we have exploding telephones in the news.
Josh Arnold
Oh, no.
Tom Griswold
We have could your phone kill you? We have something very interesting. I was not aware that March 10th is, ladies and gentlemen, National Ranch Dressing Day. It has its own day.
Chick McGee
It's about time.
Tom Griswold
We'll find out why and what terrible ideas they have come up with. To celebrate Ranch Dressing Day, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Christy Lee
Hi.
Tom Griswold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Pat Godwin
Hello, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey, man. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
Hi indeed. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick.
Tom Griswold
Don't, don't, don't come in my back door.
Christy Lee
What?
Pat Godwin
Oh, he's being naughty.
Chick McGee
Your back door's locked, is that what you're saying?
Tom Griswold
Okay. Sorry.
Chick McGee
Oh, look what I've got over here. Ready then, gardener? Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
Once again, you must take, take some time today when you get a moment and watch, watch Greg Warren on our show Friday and tribute to one of his former clients when he was a salesman. It's wonderful and it just certainly a little spin on the name Dan Gardner.
Chick McGee
That was pretty good.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I, I can't do it as,
Chick McGee
not as good as the original though.
Tom Griswold
Dan Gardner right from the get go. It's got a twist, whatever you want to call it. Perfect. Now time to move forward here. Are you ready for a little bit of a little bit of sporting news?
Chick McGee
Certainly. Let's do that. Tyler Redick became the first driver in NASCAR cup series history to win the first three races of the season. A victory yesterday at the Circuit of America's of course that's the Toyota team co owned by 23, Michael Jordan and Alex Palau.
Christy Lee
Alex Palo.
Chick McGee
Palo is one in St. Pete. And Nico Echeverrio won the Cognizant Classic where everyone's very aware.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Meltdown by Shane Lowry on the closing stretch of the PGA national there in West Palm and a game between the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers delayed nearly 20 minutes due to a blaring horn that disrupted the proceedings after a power surge caused the overhead scoreboard to malfunction.
Josh Arnold
Would it not go off? Oh, no, that's awful.
Chick McGee
A timeout in the third quarter of the Friday game between the House between the the Clippers and the Pistons. The horn sounded to signal the teams to return to the floor and kept horning or sounding or whatever I want to say.
Josh Arnold
That's brutal.
Chick McGee
Yeah. And it sounded like this a lot of time.
Justin Scott
And we're gonna check it with George Sedano, find out what's going on with his horn.
Chick McGee
George. So, guys, I'm here at the scorers
Josh Arnold
table and there was a complete malfunction here. Electric, electrical wise here at the scores table. You see this gentleman here working frantically to try to get everything reset.
Chick McGee
The clocks went out, the score went
Josh Arnold
out across the building.
Tom Griswold
And clearly you hear the people holding their ears.
Christy Lee
Yikes. How long was it like that?
Chick McGee
20 minutes.
Josh Arnold
That's a special kind of torture.
Pat Godwin
20 minutes.
Chick McGee
Hang on. After 13 minutes, staff at Little Caesar's arena shut down the entire scoreboard and the horn stopped, of course. Loud sarcastic cheers.
Tom Griswold
Ironic that. Let's see now. Am I correct in saying. Yeah, the Pistons and the Cavaliers both car related.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Chevy Cavalier.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Your standard pistons and piston engine.
Josh Arnold
Oh, sure.
Tom Griswold
Engine. Are they the only names in the NBA? Curiosity.
Chick McGee
Well, there was the Fort Wayne U.
Christy Lee
Joint Pacers. There was. There was a Pacer.
Chick McGee
Oh, very good.
Tom Griswold
Very good, Christy.
Pat Godwin
Of course.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Forgot about that.
Chick McGee
Everybody forgets about the Fort Wayne U joints.
Christy Lee
It's fine.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, whenever we talk, whenever we talk about the Pistons, I have to play my favorite Tim Cavanaugh song.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. The Detroit Pistons, former champs of basketball. I have so many souvenirs, it's hard to list them all.
Tom Griswold
I have piston pants.
Chick McGee
I have piston shorts.
Tom Griswold
I have piston beer mugs. Sometimes people don't even notice.
Christy Lee
I have piston ashtrays.
Tom Griswold
I have piston shoes.
Chick McGee
I have piston basketball.
Tom Griswold
When I dribble, they do too, like a little Timmy Cavanaugh. An absolute modern classic. That's, it's, it's poetry, Josh. Every word in the right Place. Not too many words. Is short and to the point. The Detroit Pistons. Thank you very much.
Chick McGee
That brings us to the NFL combine. And I don't know how much you watch the combine over the weekend, Tom, but zero. Pretty big news, pretty popular broadcast. That's not true. And none of that's true. But. But you know us and you know me. And there's an offensive lineman from Iowa projected to be selected somewhere, possibly third, fourth round. He's. His name is Jennings Dunker. I think that it's G, E, N, N I, N G S or it could be Kennings Dunker. I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it's Jennings. He ran a 5.18 40 yard dash, which isn't. And that's standard pretty much for an offensive line. But if I tell you what's not standard, ladies and gentlemen.
Christy Lee
Oh, my.
Chick McGee
His gorgeous mullet. And that thing. Look at the magnificence of that.
Josh Arnold
It's one of the finest I've ever seen.
Chick McGee
That is business up front. Party, party in the back, man.
Josh Arnold
And he also has an accompanying mustache.
Chick McGee
Yes, a red mustache.
Tom Griswold
And. And arms the size of my thighs. My thighs, maybe.
Chick McGee
No, no. Christie's being. His arms are the size of Christie's torso, is what they are.
Tom Griswold
Heavily tatted.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. He's a beast.
Chick McGee
He. Does he.
Josh Arnold
See, I look at that guy and I don't see anything silly about him. Like, I don't. I don't look at that mullet and go, oh, that doesn't work. It totally works on him.
Chick McGee
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Who was the. Was Mark Gastonau, the famous. Was that the best mullet in the NFL for a while there.
Chick McGee
I think he still has it.
Christy Lee
Does he really?
Chick McGee
More or less, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Kind of his trademark. There was an era in hockey in which in the 80s, in which every one of them had a mullet.
Chick McGee
Six, five, 319 pounds.
Tom Griswold
Oh, wow.
Chick McGee
They say his frame is a frame built for Sunday.
Christy Lee
I like that.
Tom Griswold
That's poetic.
Christy Lee
When is the draft?
Chick McGee
April 7, or something like that.
Pat Godwin
Did I ask you a dumb question?
Chick McGee
I wish you would. That's all I get.
Pat Godwin
But what does combine? What does that mean? Where did that come from? That's a farm.
Tom Griswold
No, the combined teams. So each team doesn't have to try out each player.
Chick McGee
If you'd like to know, Pat, there used to be. A long time ago in the NFL and I was very young, there was a scouting system called Blesto, and that stood for, I think, Baltimore, the Lions, Eagles, the Steelers. And they got together and they compiled their information and to make more informed choices of college talent. And that muted mutated into the NFL combine. No one really still knows how to pick an NFL player, but this is the closest that they can.
Tom Griswold
And the team that has the first draft pick also gets a very nice combine.
Chick McGee
Yes. And if you attended the proceedings in Indianapolis, the combines were on display. John Deere, International Harvester, the gorgeous equipment.
Josh Arnold
I mean, that's a fair question, Pat, because if it's about combining, you would think it'd be called the combine.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Not the combine.
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Chick McGee
Oh, we've always called it the combine.
Josh Arnold
Are you going to the combine? Because that's how you would say that.
Chick McGee
Well, if you pronounce it like that,
Tom Griswold
it's like, why do they call it the offense, not the offense? These are all great questions. Thank you very much. Coming up, more sports.
Chick McGee
If you say so.
Tom Griswold
Okay, good. Right now I'm looking at my car girl. She's right over there. It's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Boy, she came in handy this morning. Check local listings. I had to flip her to snow mode.
Chick McGee
You do have a snow button.
Christy Lee
I absolutely do on my Hyundai Tucson Hybrid.
Tom Griswold
And once again, to clarify, when you hit the snow button, it doesn't start snowing inside your car, which would be a great feature.
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
If you kids don't shut up, I'm turning on my snowball.
Chick McGee
Don't you touch this button.
Tom Griswold
The getaway sales event is happening right now at Hyundai. Check out your local Hyundai dealer. And they call it that because you can get away with the deal. So. Right. It almost feels wrong. Right now you can get great deals on the most popular Hyundai models. Christy Lee, tell me more.
Christy Lee
Yes. Like the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Santa Fe hybrid or as I mentioned, my favorite car, my Tucson hybrid. Plus there's the Hyundai bold and stylish Elantra, loaded with the latest technology. And if you haven't checked out their all electric cars, the Ioniq 5 or Ioniq 9, you need to do yourself a favor. They are so sleek. They look like something out of Tron to me. Like, this is the future. Get down to your local Hyundai dealer, find out for yourself and get away with a deal you'll love during the Hyundai Getaway sales event. Visit Hyundai USA.com for details. That's Hyundai USA.com and once again, it's
Tom Griswold
the Hyundai getaway because you can get away with a great deal right now. Thank you very much, Hyundai. Coming up, we have a little bit of news about astronomy on the way. Kind of a cool thing that's Going to be happening all over the world and all over the non earth portions of our broadcast audience. Also coming up, elephant birth control.
Chick McGee
Are you okay?
Tom Griswold
That is one big rubber, buddy. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Pat Godwin
there, it's gotten so much better.
Chick McGee
Perhaps you could, you could play the real keyboard at some point.
Pat Godwin
Today I have a brand new keyboard too.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Tom Griswold
I say we try it right now.
Chick McGee
I'm very excited. There's Josh Arnold.
Tom Griswold
Give it a shot here.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom. And now here's Pat.
Tom Griswold
Pat and our great engineer Eddie have been working on this keyboard.
Chick McGee
Bless Eddie's heart. Check local listening listings.
Tom Griswold
They're very good.
Chick McGee
Pat made Eddie get the Drill driver out at 5:20am Eastern Daylight Time this morning. Wow.
Josh Arnold
Is it one of those keyboards too that has fun sound effects?
Chick McGee
It's a little bit funny.
Josh Arnold
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Chick McGee
That's feeling inside.
Josh Arnold
Pat looked at me very seriously, put his finger up and said, excuse me, he was playing. I didn't.
Pat Godwin
That's got everything. No, it's jam packed with sounds. Got all my favorite accordions.
Christy Lee
What was wrong with the other one?
Pat Godwin
The other one?
Josh Arnold
Dated.
Chick McGee
Dated. Very dated.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You couldn't get parts for the other one.
Christy Lee
Oh, I see.
Pat Godwin
It was a 37 keyboard that didn't have.
Tom Griswold
That one had the colors on it. Green, blue, purpl, black, chartreuse.
Chick McGee
Okay. Can I. Can I guess?
Christy Lee
Casio makes a fine product.
Tom Griswold
Oh, hey, listen.
Pat Godwin
This is a Casio.
Chick McGee
You like the action on that?
Josh Arnold
I love it.
Chick McGee
I love it.
Josh Arnold
There you go.
Chick McGee
That's what you said.
Tom Griswold
All I'm getting.
Josh Arnold
He knows the terms.
Tom Griswold
Hot cross buns. My, my 10 year old has the. The recorder.
Christy Lee
Oh, yes.
Tom Griswold
That's the first Song that I think universally. Yes, they learn Hot Cross Buns.
Christy Lee
The recorder.
Tom Griswold
Now, do you have a song you're going to play for. I don't know if I'm in the
Pat Godwin
right key for this one, but we had the mullet thing going on all with. If you cut it in the front, it's a mullet. Keep it long and party in the bag. If you have a job, try and tuck it. It's not in fashion. Oh, man, that style has passed.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry.
Tom Griswold
What's that?
Pat Godwin
Did I read today that the mullet is back? It never went away with the circus. Carny carney. If you cut it in the.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that's very nice. Very nice.
Chick McGee
Tribute to Iowa offensive lineman at the combine over the weekend, Jennings Dunker, who has a glorious red mullet. A red mustache.
Tom Griswold
I like that guy. He's committed to it.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah. That's a.
Tom Griswold
Looks like a badass.
Chick McGee
He can't ever cut it.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that guy's scary looking now. Oh, thank you, Pat. Well, do you have another. Maybe in a few minutes you can play one of your classics that employs the. The keyboard. Now that you're so excited about this new keyboard. Gone.
Pat Godwin
I'm gonna be playing it all the time. I've been driving you nuts and I apologize. But I was in the.
Josh Arnold
I was.
Pat Godwin
In a moment.
Josh Arnold
No, no.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah, you're in an el.
Josh Arnold
I apologize.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'd apologize for this boring conversation, but I'm busy. Could we move on? What are you getting?
Chick McGee
You two lovers want to take it to a room? Huh? You know what time it is, Tom? Ask me what time it is.
Christy Lee
What time is it?
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
What time is it?
Chick McGee
Stupid world record. Like we just started working together. Thousands of people have helped break the Guinness World record for the largest polar bear dip.
Tom Griswold
And I object to this record.
Christy Lee
Why?
Tom Griswold
Oh, you'll see.
Chick McGee
A total of 3,100. A total of 3,134 people from around the world brave the frigid waters of Norway's Heberg beach.
Josh Arnold
That gets very cold, doesn't it?
Chick McGee
To achieve the record title. It's colder than cold there. Batta Glade a local swimming group. I don't know. Translated to baby, that means bathing pleasure in nor Norwegian talk it to count as an official polar bear dip, participants had to stand in waist deep water.
Josh Arnold
I'm with you tomorrow, Val. Invalid over the shoulders.
Christy Lee
You have to go all the way up to your neck.
Josh Arnold
Yep.
Chick McGee
The highest, the warmest the water can be. Oh, let's start the guesses. What do you Think.
Josh Arnold
Well, it's got to be above 32, the warmest.
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
That would be very special. The people are. They're frozen from the waist down. They're in ice. That might. That might kill you. I'm not sure how long it would take.
Christy Lee
35.
Chick McGee
We got a 35, Pat.
Pat Godwin
37.
Josh Arnold
I'm going 40, 50 degrees. Oh, that's still real cold. I'll still shrink your weenie.
Tom Griswold
But they're not underwater, and you have
Chick McGee
to stay in there for at least.
Josh Arnold
You know what, though?
Chick McGee
A minute.
Josh Arnold
Pudenda is that taint is. Yeah.
Chick McGee
More sensitive to man.
Christy Lee
Look at that. That's a lot of people. Some of them are up to their neck.
Josh Arnold
You know what I'm gonna say? Most, actually. No, not most.
Tom Griswold
No. They're all you can be.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah. They're all standing there, aren't they? It's a mess of people, though.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Looks like an island of flesh.
Tom Griswold
Now, don't be confused by the way. Polar bear dip. How do I get. It's the same as. What is that? It's the same as buffalo wings. The wings aren't made of buffalo, and they don't. They're not serving dip made of polar bear.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
The dip they're using is made of baby seals.
Josh Arnold
Now, I'm. And it's also not like sheep dip.
Chick McGee
Why wouldn't you, for a party, put out a bowl of dip and have a polar bear hand?
Tom Griswold
That'd be fun.
Chick McGee
Enjoy our polar bear dip. It could be ham salad or something, you know. But you tell people it's polar bear.
Tom Griswold
Now, just your. So your point is the shrinkage? Because if you're up to your waist.
Chick McGee
Yeah, man.
Tom Griswold
That's gonna.
Chick McGee
That's.
Pat Godwin
You know, I'm doing the plunge every day.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Down at the gym. Yeah. I'm real proud of you. Because that is a commitment treatment.
Pat Godwin
Five minutes up to the next 45 degrees.
Christy Lee
45 degrees.
Josh Arnold
That's huge. 45 degrees.
Tom Griswold
Has anybody ever seized right there on the.
Pat Godwin
No, but I think you have to be careful.
Josh Arnold
You have to be healthy.
Christy Lee
You do with a bunch of people.
Pat Godwin
Not really. It's maybe one other person sometimes.
Tom Griswold
Have you asked a qualified physician if that's a good idea to do that?
Pat Godwin
I have, indeed.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
What'd they say?
Pat Godwin
I talked to Josh. He said it was okay.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Chick McGee
Have you had an EKG recently, just for the fun of it?
Pat Godwin
No.
Chick McGee
Oh, okay.
Josh Arnold
Pat, I have no doubt that you talked to your profession or your professional doctor.
Tom Griswold
I do.
Pat Godwin
To be honest with you. My doctor just left for another. He Left the state again
Tom Griswold
for another profession, I believe, as requested by the American Medical Association.
Pat Godwin
One doctor quit.
Chick McGee
He went back to his first love, small engine repair.
Christy Lee
Well, it's almost lawnmower season.
Tom Griswold
Did he leave you. Did he leave you a Dear John letter? Pat, it's not you.
Pat Godwin
I'm sorry to think it is me.
Tom Griswold
Do you think you're the guy that he'd look at his roster of clients for the day and go, oh, God,
Pat Godwin
we're at that age where our doctors are retiring now, you know.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Mine retired years ago. I had to find a new one.
Chick McGee
It's.
Christy Lee
That's hard.
Josh Arnold
I know.
Chick McGee
Well, life is hard.
Tom Griswold
Speaking of hard, coming up, we have.
Chick McGee
Yeah, tell me about it.
Tom Griswold
Elephant birth control in the news.
Christy Lee
Yeah, elephant. I'm sure getting the condom on is really tough. Don't they have funny phalluses? The elephant?
Josh Arnold
What? Corkscrews.
Christy Lee
You mean, is that a corkscrew?
Tom Griswold
That's a pig.
Chick McGee
Oh, no, no. Elephants. Units move like their trunk. That's exactly right.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's hard to pick things up.
Tom Griswold
You mean they're like prehensile tails on a monkey?
Chick McGee
Possibly. Yes.
Christy Lee
No, I have no idea.
Chick McGee
One morning a long time ago, Christy and I stumbled into the Bob and Tom office and there was a video playing on the tv, and it had animals having sex, and there was everything. And they all did it doggy style. And when the elephants came, the trunk and the unit, the unit went.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. It kind of searches for it, doesn't it?
Chick McGee
Kind of searches?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Like. Like a divining rod.
Christy Lee
Yes, a little bit.
Chick McGee
Elephants do it doggy style. Think about it. They don't have that poor fingers back
Christy Lee
hurts for a month.
Tom Griswold
I believe they call it elephant style.
Chick McGee
They can't reach down there and move it around. That would have to have some sort of ability to find.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Tom Griswold
Could you get Jumbo on the phone?
Josh Arnold
Mine kind of can. Right. You guys can. You can kind of flex yours a little bit.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
If you're off by half an inch, you can kind of.
Chick McGee
Tell you what. No, no, I'll tell you what. I'm flexing mine right now.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, sure.
Tom Griswold
Do you ever do a little puppet show with yours, Josh?
Josh Arnold
Always. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Oh, boy.
Josh Arnold
So are you ready to have a great day?
Tom Griswold
You want me to get your hat?
Christy Lee
Do you guys talk to it like that?
Chick McGee
Sure. Yeah,
Pat Godwin
sometimes it'd be like a snake.
Christy Lee
Wait, wait, wait. So you have a. You don't have a dog voice for it. You have a dick voice when he talks back. Hello, boss.
Chick McGee
What's happening?
Josh Arnold
Today.
Pat Godwin
All right, now, you ready to go inside?
Josh Arnold
It's a hell of an act together.
Tom Griswold
Last time I did that, I burned.
Chick McGee
You know, when I was in like third grade, I heard that joke on the playground. Yeah, funniest thing.
Josh Arnold
I made it do push ups until three. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's been so long since I've been able to use it.
Chick McGee
It's always the same, you know, he's a little dirty.
Tom Griswold
Is that sports?
Josh Arnold
Not his fault. The adults around him are just.
Chick McGee
Exactly.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Very free. Very, very free.
Christy Lee
This story kind of fits in with what we're talking about. A North Carolina man believes he has the world's smallest male member. Oh, Mr. Michael Phillips told TMZ.
Chick McGee
Is it possible I could move up? This is exciting.
Christy Lee
He's been medically diagnosed with a condition known as micro phallus with a member measuring 38 inches.
Josh Arnold
Now, do we know flaccid or erect?
Christy Lee
He likened his erect penis to his pinky fingernail. Whoa, ho, ho, ho. 38 year old is said to be sleeping.
Chick McGee
All of a sudden you've been struck with such sadness. I can't.
Tom Griswold
I've had zits bigger than that.
Christy Lee
Ah, to a raise. To raise aware. My nipples.
Tom Griswold
Bigger than that.
Josh Arnold
Raise awareness. We gotta get this guy a gofundme.
Chick McGee
Hang on a second. Hang on a second.
Tom Griswold
I heard it.
Chick McGee
It got lost.
Christy Lee
Well, come on. About microphalluses and to fight the stigma and encourage early medical intervention. What can they do?
Josh Arnold
But I'm with you. Early medical intervention. Yes.
Tom Griswold
There's a pill. There's a pill for that.
Christy Lee
Can. There's a pill for that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's called cyanide.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you would off yourself. Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Can they stretch it out or what can they do?
Josh Arnold
Some sort of implant would have to occur.
Tom Griswold
And this guy, this guy in the article, he's asking people to. He's challenging them to see if anyone has a smaller one, which is.
Chick McGee
Well, who the hell's gonna say it
Tom Griswold
sounds like this guy wants to see a lot of men's small male members. Yikes.
Christy Lee
Does he have children?
Josh Arnold
Who knows?
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Josh Arnold
And if so, maybe they had to be sort of in vitro type.
Christy Lee
Right?
Tom Griswold
I hope he has at least a Corvette.
Josh Arnold
What if he. What if just that stereotype. He had like the longest. Tallest Corvette.
Christy Lee
On that note.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Poor guy.
Tom Griswold
Well, so it's. That's less. That's. That's less than half an inch.
Christy Lee
Yeah, 0.38.
Josh Arnold
I mean, I mean, he said his erection was like his pinky.
Justin Scott
Nail.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Nail. Not the pinky.
Christy Lee
No. The nail.
Pat Godwin
I know. That's crazy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's.
Christy Lee
Wonder what his girth is.
Josh Arnold
Oh, jeez.
Tom Griswold
Well, you know, there you go. You'll see. You're thinking pancake. So it's. Well, what I lack in length, I make up for.
Josh Arnold
And girth.
Tom Griswold
That really wouldn't be very helpful.
Chick McGee
That is really depressing.
Christy Lee
It really is. I'm sorry, sir.
Chick McGee
Oh, man.
Josh Arnold
Well, he's raising awareness.
Christy Lee
Good for him. I guess.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I mean, I would look into every possible avenue of surgery. Some sort of implant.
Chick McGee
I. I think Tom had the lead on this cyanide that I. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Figure something out.
Pat Godwin
I think sex is off the table. You can finally get some work done.
Josh Arnold
You know, he might be the. It's worth $3 billion.
Chick McGee
The erect unit is the size of his pinky fingernail.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that. I mean, that's.
Chick McGee
How would you even know?
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Josh Arnold
Are his testicles regular sized?
Christy Lee
We have a lot of questions.
Tom Griswold
That's the only.
Chick McGee
That's the only thing that would make it okay if there were really tiny testicles too. That would kind of make it fun.
Christy Lee
All right, enough of that.
Chick McGee
I'm sick of you guys making fun of me.
Josh Arnold
Hey, we're just.
Tom Griswold
But the guy's gone public with it.
Christy Lee
I know, sure.
Josh Arnold
Well, he's trying to erase the stigma and I get it. That makes sense.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. How's that gonna help?
Chick McGee
Well, the guy wants.
Josh Arnold
He's like, hey, look, I'm still a dude and I need to live my life, not just worry about it.
Christy Lee
I want a date.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. What can we do?
Tom Griswold
Is there. Maybe there's women that would be interested in that?
Christy Lee
Sure there are.
Chick McGee
That's their thing. Really small guy.
Tom Griswold
They're hassle to be.
Christy Lee
Maybe they just want oral.
Tom Griswold
That's all they need now I have a. I'm. This. This will not seem connected until we get to the end. That's all I'm saying. So bear with me. You will see the connection, but it doesn't. It's not apparent at the beginning. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we now listen to a fine comedian. Well, you'll. I'll let him introduce himself here. Comedian Rick Schreider.
Chick McGee
You're talking about your ex wife?
Tom Griswold
You'd ever see her anymore? No, no, not. I don't know what she's. The cord is severed.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I know.
Tom Griswold
Did she like your comedy? Did she come see you? You do your stand up comedy at all? Yeah, yeah, sure. She enjoyed it.
Chick McGee
I guess come to think of it, she wasn't that bad after all. What Was I thinking,
Tom Griswold
well, can we? She was not big on approval. This is what I'm getting at in a roundabout way. Make sure you find the right person before you get married. Because the first time I got married, I looked and I looked and I thought I found that person who would tell me those five words every man longs to hear. Get off me. You're heavy. But are you done yet? That's one of us should be enjoying this.
Josh Arnold
Of course, my personal favorite.
Tom Griswold
When you're inside me, I feel nothing.
Christy Lee
I
Tom Griswold
tell you this to bring up
Christy Lee
this
Tom Griswold
little bit of Rick Schrader arcane trivia.
Josh Arnold
She said every, every one of those to me in bed at one time.
Tom Griswold
I swear to God.
Christy Lee
No, she did.
Tom Griswold
Yes, she did.
Josh Arnold
Every single one of those
Tom Griswold
six years.
Josh Arnold
I.
Tom Griswold
What kind of a schmuck am I?
Christy Lee
I had to have at one point said, I love this woman. Right?
Tom Griswold
Huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't get enough of this. More stress. You remember the word for word? Oh, yeah. When things that catch your attention when you're inside me, I feel I have.
Josh Arnold
That is a direct quote because we're working up there. I'm trying, you know,
Tom Griswold
I did myself
Josh Arnold
that time, you know, I think I'm
Chick McGee
on a, on a roll here, you know?
Tom Griswold
You know, it's not fair. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
I shouldn't, you know, women have such a hard time achieving orgasm.
Tom Griswold
I. Maybe it's cuz you got a big fat sweaty guy on top. I would break my concentration.
Chick McGee
I'm trying, you know.
Josh Arnold
Feels very doughboy, you know, I can't feel my legs.
Tom Griswold
You're the one, baby. You know, Dear God, let it in. You know, Rick Schrader. A little bit of Rick Schrader arcane trivia. What's coming up in the news, Christy Lee?
Christy Lee
Coming up, we have Boner Bears. Chocolate. We'll talk about that. We have sex toys.
Chick McGee
Did you say Boner Bears?
Christy Lee
I sure did.
Tom Griswold
And they're in trouble.
Christy Lee
They are in trouble.
Chick McGee
All right.
Christy Lee
Yep. We have sex toys being hacked and the number one fruit that makes you poop.
Tom Griswold
The number one fruit that makes you poop.
Josh Arnold
Richard Simmons.
Tom Griswold
That's an odd choice, Josh.
Josh Arnold
That would be a fiber rich diet he would promote.
Tom Griswold
So not just a photograph of him, okay?
Josh Arnold
No, you want him there encouraging you.
Tom Griswold
I see, I see. Well, once again, we'll try to get back on the track. These tracks run through the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios and this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer
Want to share a letter or comment? Our email is bobandtomobandtom.com.
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee at the News Center. Hello. There's Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
And his new organ. It's very exciting. Not though. Not to mention his keyboard is exciting, too.
Pat Godwin
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick McGee. We have completed your sports broadcast. Thank you very much. Coming up, we're going to talk with a guy who was a tower climber, used to change the light bulbs on top of radio and TV towers. Wow. I want to find out what that gig is like, but right now we turn to Christy Lee at the Bob and Tom news desk. What's happening?
Christy Lee
The Food and Drug Administration has recalled a product that's named Boner Bear's Chocolate. The candy has been found to contain an erectile dysfunction drug, apparently.
Josh Arnold
Oh, my.
Christy Lee
The agency said its laboratory analysis confirmed that Boner Bears chocolate bars and Boner Bears chocolate syrup contained sildenafil, which is the active ingredient in the FDA approved drug Viagra.
Tom Griswold
Chocolate syrup.
Christy Lee
Chocolate syrup.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Do you eat that with nuts?
Christy Lee
Add your own nuts, you eat that with tacos.
Tom Griswold
Thank you.
Christy Lee
Officials warned that the undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates and some prescription drugs which could cause a problem and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. The recalled products were sold on Elixir.com and lockout supplements.com. so be aware, if you're a Boner Bears chocolate laying around with the name
Tom Griswold
Boner Bears, they, they have to know
Christy Lee
that's what it's for.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, there's. Okay, then we just have just got a picture of it.
Christy Lee
Look at the bears. Okay.
Chick McGee
Hey, wait a minute.
Josh Arnold
I tell you what, though. There's no mention of, at least on the front, no mention of it in containing any sort of erectile dysfunction.
Tom Griswold
Well, that would be because it would be illegal because that would be a prescription medication. Right.
Josh Arnold
Well, but even if, even if it were somehow legal, I mean, they would have to market it as such. So that's. Yeah, it's a problem. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I wonder if it's. I never go to Dairy Queen and get the, the. You get a vanilla cone and then they dip it in chocolate.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
And the chocolate hardens. Yes, that's probably the same thing.
Christy Lee
You think this hardens on the.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's not how it works.
Christy Lee
I don't think that's how it works.
Tom Griswold
I, I don't get that. One of those cones often enough.
Josh Arnold
By the way, the dip cone.
Tom Griswold
Oh, those are great.
Christy Lee
You ever get the butterscotch dipped cone one?
Tom Griswold
No.
Chick McGee
Oh, those are good.
Christy Lee
Oh, come on.
Josh Arnold
Butterscotch and chocolate go together. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Chick McGee
You know, like a chocolate caramel filled chocolate.
Tom Griswold
You get a chocolate phone and dip it.
Christy Lee
No. Vanilla cone. And they dip it in butterscotch.
Chick McGee
Oh, they do.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. I much prefer.
Chick McGee
Or you could get a chocolate ice cream cone.
Christy Lee
You get the chocolate sauce.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
It was only a chocolate deal. That's nice. They have different flavors.
Chick McGee
Well, sometimes they're out of one butterscotch because it's so popular. Popular.
Tom Griswold
I don't know about that. So this is called. This is called bone. What is it? Boner Bear.
Chick McGee
I think your seniors enjoy the butterscotch.
Christy Lee
I wonder why seniors like butterscotch.
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Christy Lee
I've always liked butterscotch. Even as a kid.
Tom Griswold
I love.
Josh Arnold
I've liked Werther since I was a kid.
Chick McGee
Butterscotch pudding. Yeah, it's my favorite pudding.
Tom Griswold
Werther's got a bad name.
Josh Arnold
They do.
Tom Griswold
It's time Gen X steps up.
Josh Arnold
And they could rebrand those start.
Tom Griswold
Starts wearing, like, a Werther's T shirt.
Chick McGee
Are you worthy of a Werther's? You guys can use that. Go ahead.
Tom Griswold
So it's. I'm sorry. It's Boner Bears.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
They have the syrup and the old. The old chocolate bar there.
Tom Griswold
Okay. By the way, you know that it's. It's the Berenstain Bears.
Josh Arnold
I know, man.
Chick McGee
This is the Mandela effect thing. Yeah.
Christy Lee
It's not Bernstein.
Josh Arnold
I would have sworn there was a time where I would have lost a million dollars thinking it was Berenstein.
Christy Lee
Berenstein Bears.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, but it's stain, and it always has been. And isn't it wild?
Chick McGee
Berenstain.
Josh Arnold
That's a glitch in the Matrix.
Tom Griswold
There you go. A little bit of actual facts for you today.
Christy Lee
All right.
Tom Griswold
And by the way, if you have any. Whatever it's called Boner Bear Chocolate.
Pat Godwin
How expensive is that chocolate? Because the medication itself is extremely expensive.
Christy Lee
I don't know.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Maybe the chocolate is cheaper.
Pat Godwin
You want to know how to take those wisely? Would you like to hear a song about it?
Christy Lee
I would love it. Yes.
Tom Griswold
So what they're saying is this has Viagra granted, right?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Pat Godwin
This Tinder date has gone horribly wrong. She's sloppy drunk and singing karaoke songs. She looks nothing like her Facebook page and tells me she doesn't usually date men my age.
Tom Griswold
Ouch.
Pat Godwin
I can't believe I wasted A Viagra on you? I'm out there Than bucks I'm. My balls are blue I'll be up all night with no one to do. I can't believe I wasted a Viagra on you. I popped a pill in sweet anticipation that I was gonna make sweet love to you. Insurance doesn't cover this kind of medication. These flowers were pretty darn expensive, too. Yeah, I can't believe I was. I wasted a Viagra on you. I'm hard as a rock and no rendezvous My best laid plans have fallen through I can't believe I wasted a Viagra on you. Then she said this to me can't believe you wasted a Viagra on me. I only came out tonight Cause dinner was free. I'm a woman in my prime and you up past 63 I can't believe you wasted a Viagra on me. Well, I can't believe I wasted a Viagra on us. Here's money for an Uber. You can take the bus. This date is over. Nothing left to discuss. Can't believe I wasted a Viagra on us.
Tom Griswold
Oh, thank you very much, Pat Guy. Hey, is your special on.
Christy Lee
Oh, God.
Chick McGee
Dry bar comedy?
Pat Godwin
I'll find out when it's coming out. I don't. I don't know just yet. It takes them a long time. Put these together.
Tom Griswold
When did you film it?
Pat Godwin
A year ago this week, I think.
Tom Griswold
Okay. All right. Any of the jokes dated?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Pat Godwin
I have a Monica Lewis hunk.
Chick McGee
Once again, for everyone listening Obama jokes. I'd like to tell you that Tom and Pat are best friends. I know it doesn't sound.
Tom Griswold
We're just building up the anticipation.
Christy Lee
Every day. Pat says don't bring up the dry bar special.
Chick McGee
Every day.
Christy Lee
Every day.
Chick McGee
And Tom. And every day gotten more joy? No, just wondering.
Pat Godwin
I keep looking.
Tom Griswold
Get up there.
Pat Godwin
I send emails. And I'm a bit of a pest lately.
Tom Griswold
How about that fdr, huh?
Chick McGee
Yeah, he's a ramp.
Christy Lee
Hey. The sex toy distributor known as Tanga reports a hacker has stolen their customer information in a data breach. The message sent to customers. The company says that an unauthorized party gained access to the professional email account of one of their employees. The hacker was able to see and steal customer names, email addresses and historical email correspondence, which may include order details or customer service inquiries. Tenga is the latest in a long list of sex toy makers, such as. Lovense. Lovense.
Chick McGee
Hold it. What's the name of the adult?
Christy Lee
Tenga.
Chick McGee
Tenga.
Christy Lee
L O V E N S E. Lovense. Lovense. How do you say that?
Josh Arnold
I'm John Lovin.
Tom Griswold
Do you need a dildo? So this is. This place sells sex toys. And what they're saying is if you bought one there, your name is going to be circulating on maybe.
Christy Lee
Yeah, on the Dark Web or something.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
A Tanga Sounds like a.
Christy Lee
Sounds like a car to me.
Tom Griswold
It sounds like a place to go to learn Spanish.
Christy Lee
Tanga. Yes, I see the Porsche. Tanga.
Josh Arnold
I wanted to order a lady something from Tanga, but she had to go on the website the exact same time as me because apparently it takes two to Tanga.
Tom Griswold
Thank you. That's.
Josh Arnold
There's no reason that Chicken Tom should be standing.
Tom Griswold
I'm gonna stand too, because I'm not. I couldn't tell the way. The way. The hesitancy of your delivery was unnecessary because the punchline cometh, and it was great.
Christy Lee
I thought you were actually telling a story. I fell for it.
Josh Arnold
You know, I think there are many listeners who still think I just told the story.
Tom Griswold
So it's like the. It's like the nuclear code keys. You've got to switch it at the same time. So if you want to order from Tenga, you've both got to be online.
Josh Arnold
I had to approve what I ordered.
Tom Griswold
Yes, I've had that with my. On occasion.
Josh Arnold
It takes.
Tom Griswold
Okay, baby, get in the line. It takes two to Tenga.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
So if you recently bought a. Some kind of extravagant dildo, your name might be on the Dark Web.
Christy Lee
Doesn't have to be extravagant. It could be just a dildo.
Josh Arnold
Wouldn't make me nervous. But I feel like had you purchased them, you would be nervous.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you're like, oh, my God, they're gonna find out.
Josh Arnold
They can now publish what I purchased.
Christy Lee
It's the Tenga files. Tom's on it.
Tom Griswold
He got the. The only Ash prober with a camera. I can't believe it.
Chick McGee
We got to do something. Tenga and Jenga, too, right?
Josh Arnold
Oh, you know, building.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, go ahead. No, I got nothing. I'm just. I'm in awe.
Josh Arnold
There's something about them not taking a credit card and only taking paper money. So there's a Tanga and Cash joke there.
Justin Scott
Oh,
Chick McGee
Tango and Cash.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's really good. That's so obscure.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
One of Sylvester Stallone's is that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. And Kurt Russell.
Tom Griswold
Oh, one of their lesser films, Tanga. I thought they said Jenga. Boy, does my ass hurt.
Chick McGee
We have a last minute. Dear Bob and Tom.
Tom Griswold
Go ahead, go ahead.
Chick McGee
Email from Griffith. That's like Andy Griffith, only that's his first name.
Tom Griswold
Griffith.
Chick McGee
I tried Josh's I don't kiss on the first date technique on Thursday night.
Josh Arnold
Oh, quick reminder. I would on a first date. I would very early on just go. Just so you know, I don't kiss on a first date. And quite often that led to me kissing on a first.
Christy Lee
Or were they kissing you?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So they. In other words, they're going, I will. I will meet this gem.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
I tried Josh's I don't kiss on the first date technique on Thursday night.
Tom Griswold
Night.
Chick McGee
All bold print. Worked like a charm.
Tom Griswold
Now, now, Pat, you were famous for saying I don't pay in the first date. Did that ever work?
Chick McGee
No, that never seemed to work.
Pat Godwin
You know, I don't pay on any dates.
Chick McGee
You. You still remember Nick Griffin's story to us? He was dating on one of the apps and he said he decided that every first date he was going to kiss the woman at the end of the day.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And he famously, on a Sunday morning,
Chick McGee
in a Sunday morning, outside a car coffee place, they're making out like the plane's going down. Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Coffee breath in the park,
Christy Lee
stranger.
Tom Griswold
I think I have. I think I may be able to out obscure your Tanga joke.
Josh Arnold
Oh, please, Pat. I'm ready.
Tom Griswold
Once again, Tanga is the sex toy store.
Christy Lee
Tanga.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they've. They've been breached.
Christy Lee
They've been hacked. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Remember that Bob Dylan saw Tanga up in brown.
Chick McGee
Up and brown.
Tom Griswold
This is the story of the hurricane. Wait a minute. It's the wrong. But we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer
Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show, sponsored in part by Java House, the official coffee and refreshments of the Bob and Tom Show.
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. First day back on the air, brand new month. Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit. Forgotten all about it.
Christy Lee
That's right.
Chick McGee
I apologize. There's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Pat Godwin
Hey, Chick.
Tom Griswold
Hello.
Chick McGee
Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Hello. I am Chick McGee. And Tom is looking at something intently.
Tom Griswold
A letter.
Chick McGee
I see.
Tom Griswold
I would not read that. Read this. Ordinarily, but since Christy brought it.
Chick McGee
Up. Up.
Christy Lee
My fault.
Tom Griswold
I feel I. It's okay to read it.
Chick McGee
Okay, so you're asking us not to blame.
Tom Griswold
Don't blame me.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Earlier in the show, we were discussing a fellow who has gone public with the fact that he suffers from something called micro phallus.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
His male members, extraordinarily small, described as the size of his. What was it? Pinky fingernail.
Christy Lee
And that's erect.
Chick McGee
Erect, yes, erect.
Christy Lee
It's less than 38 inches is what he says it is.
Tom Griswold
38. So it's less than half an inch, right? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow. Yikes.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
This comes to us from Tony. Tony, I've listened to your show for more than 30 years.
Chick McGee
Uhhuh.
Tom Griswold
Christie mentioned her nipples on the show today. Oh, here we care to re.
Christy Lee
Yeah, well, he said that erect it was not the size of his what? Pinky fingernail. And I go, my nipples are that big.
Tom Griswold
Okay, no need to elaborate. He goes, there was a show many years ago in which you created a recipe called Christie Nips.
Christy Lee
Oh, yes. That's very famous.
Tom Griswold
And you came up with snacks that were that size. Do you remember how that went, Christy?
Christy Lee
Yeah, it was something like a Ritz cracker, ironically.
Tom Griswold
Sorry.
Christy Lee
With some kind of cheese spread and then a little tiny smoky thing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I would not approve of such an activity.
Chick McGee
I believe they're called little. Yeah, well, we talked about those little smokies. We.
Christy Lee
Because we. Remember, we used the ratchet set, and
Chick McGee
we were measuring, and we decided three.
Christy Lee
Eight, I think it was.
Chick McGee
Or was it metric?
Christy Lee
I don't remember.
Tom Griswold
I forgot all of this, fortunately. That's right. You did get off the ratchet set.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we got the ratchet.
Tom Griswold
Thank you for the letter, Tony. We will not be recreating that recipe.
Chick McGee
A lot of guys did. A lot of guys wanted to know what the size of and what they look like.
Tom Griswold
Okay. These are different times. That would be completely inappropriate. However, we will now turn back to Christy.
Chick McGee
At you like a big nipple.
Tom Griswold
Bob and Tom.
Josh Arnold
No, I'm a less is more man.
Chick McGee
No kidding.
Christy Lee
And I'm talking about this nipple part, not the areola part.
Chick McGee
Right.
Josh Arnold
In fact, my ideal boobs are totally nippleless. I just like the round. The. The flesh round. I. I want. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Is that right?
Josh Arnold
If there's a woman out there with no nipples, I'm interested.
Chick McGee
See, I like one. You can hang your hat on him. That's what I like.
Josh Arnold
I want. I know. I. I apparently imprinted on a Barbie,
Tom Griswold
and I understand that you're pretty. Pretty close to having your 500th woman. So that will be the. The Indian nipples 500. You know,
Chick McGee
the last thing we want to do is make this sort of thing like a competition, okay. And I think we have stupidest punchlines. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You're welcome.
Josh Arnold
We are rewarding.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Chick McGee
It takes two to tanga. Come on. We're better than that.
Tom Griswold
Brilliant.
Christy Lee
No, no, no.
Tom Griswold
That doesn't get any better than that. Why don't we do an early edition of Today in History? Let's see. Oh, happy birthday.
Chick McGee
March 2, number two.
Christy Lee
Happy birthday. To whom?
Tom Griswold
Sam Houston, the first president of the Republic of Texas, lived in Dallas.
Josh Arnold
Quite odd.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Now, this one is interesting because if you want to get technical, he should be called Dr. Saus. No, I'm sorry. No, that's wrong. So sorry. Technically, it's Dr. Seuss.
Chick McGee
Sois.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Dr. Seuss.
Chick McGee
I don't know if that what you're saying.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I looked this up because I knew that it really wasn't Seuss. His real name. His real middle name was Seuss, spelled S, E, U, S, S. And after he became. But he just gave up because people kept saying Dr. Seuss. So we just let that fly. But his colleagues from. I think he went to Cornell, made a big deal out of it.
Chick McGee
But his last name is Geisel or something.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Theodore Sois geisel. Born in 1904. I also, when I did this deep dive, you know what I found out, Josh?
Josh Arnold
What?
Tom Griswold
He was not an actual physician.
Josh Arnold
Not at all.
Tom Griswold
No. And you know who else?
Josh Arnold
Who?
Tom Griswold
Dr. Dre.
Christy Lee
He's not a physician.
Tom Griswold
Not a physician. This is a scandal.
Josh Arnold
Not a. A credit of medical school. No.
Chick McGee
What about.
Christy Lee
Maybe he has a Ph.D. you don't know?
Chick McGee
What about Julius Irving?
Tom Griswold
Dr. J. Oh, he's a physician.
Chick McGee
That's what I thought. Yeah. He's a podiatrist. Yeah. I thought I was right on that. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Happy birthday. 1917. Desi Arnaz.
Christy Lee
Oh, my God. The original one, like, not the junior he had.
Tom Griswold
Lucille Ball invented the three camera, actually. Live sitcom.
Chick McGee
Actually, I think Desi had more to do with it than Lucy actually realized.
Christy Lee
Very funny.
Chick McGee
Hey, by the way, speaking of Dr. J, there's a great documentary on prime called Soul Power. Four episodes about the aba.
Tom Griswold
Oh, cool.
Chick McGee
Very good.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I gotta check that out. 1931. Mikhail Gorbachev. Happy birthday.
Chick McGee
I thought you were gonna say something about Mikhail's Navy.
Christy Lee
I did, too.
Josh Arnold
Remember when Lieutenant Frank Drebin took his handkerchief and washed that birthmark right off of Gorbachev? Said he looked at the camera and goes, I knew.
Tom Griswold
Happy birthday. One of my favorite. Lou Reed. Born on this date in 1942.
Christy Lee
I have a friend whose dog's name's Lou Reed.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I love that.
Christy Lee
Isn't that great? I love that name.
Chick McGee
How long has it been since he had a job?
Josh Arnold
Waiting for my walk. No, no, no, no.
Tom Griswold
I'm waiting for my walk. A little bit of waiting for my man, maybe. What would it be instead of heroin?
Josh Arnold
Oh, boy.
Tom Griswold
Any dog treats? No.
Chick McGee
See, we're. We're pitiful.
Josh Arnold
I love Lou Reed, but I heard. I recently read that he was a terrible interview. Is that. Do you guys.
Tom Griswold
Yes. We spoke and he was off.
Josh Arnold
Got you.
Chick McGee
Monotone. But it was a real, like, not
Josh Arnold
easy to talk to.
Chick McGee
But in Lou's response, it was. What do I want to say in his defense? His defense? He was so. So uninterested.
Tom Griswold
Yes. Happy birthday, Daniel Craig.
Christy Lee
Oh, James Bond.
Tom Griswold
Not anymore.
Christy Lee
Well, I mean,
Chick McGee
Benoit blanc.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Once you're a Bond, you're always a Bond.
Tom Griswold
Come on, let's see. Ben Roethlisberger,
Christy Lee
not a Bond. You're right. He's a football player. Right.
Tom Griswold
I suppose the Wahlbergs have already done. Since they've done Wahlbergers. Roethlisberger is not going to take off.
Pat Godwin
Give it a shot if you want.
Tom Griswold
How about this one? Napoleon Bonaparte, appointed commander in chief of the French army.
Chick McGee
How'd that work out?
Tom Griswold
1796.
Josh Arnold
They did all right for a while. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Did a hell of a job.
Tom Griswold
Why is it always commander and chief? That's kind of redundant.
Chick McGee
I thought it was commander in chief.
Josh Arnold
It is for the president, isn't it? Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's commander in chief.
Chick McGee
Yes, I am. Yeah. And there's a lot of hyphens in there.
Tom Griswold
Still, it seems redundant,
Chick McGee
huh?
Tom Griswold
Are you a commander?
Chick McGee
I have a question. Is there any way I can get out of this conversation?
Tom Griswold
That wouldn't work in the NFL.
Chick McGee
No, you're darn right.
Tom Griswold
With the Washington commander in Chiefs. That'd be super confusing. There's already a team. Never mind. Okay, okay. 1933. What movie premiered at Radio City Music hall?
Chick McGee
What year?
Christy Lee
1933.
Tom Griswold
This is a quiz. This movie premiered at Radio City Music hall in New York City. The climatic scene of the movie takes place only a few miles away.
Josh Arnold
I know. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Very good, Christie. King Kong.
Josh Arnold
That thing holds up.
Chick McGee
Is it King Kong? Yeah. I thought it was Ding Dong.
Josh Arnold
There might be a joke there somewhere, but I don't know. The old giants. I asked for ping pong balls. Isn't that what we are?
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's a classic.
Chick McGee
Classic wizard of Oz. That all the farmhand they were. It was a dream.
Tom Griswold
Okay, Jake, you'll get this one. 1935, the premiere of the cartoon entitled I Haven't Got a Hat starring.
Chick McGee
You know my rule about the word hat.
Tom Griswold
A punchline starring Porky Pig.
Christy Lee
I haven't got a Hat.
Josh Arnold
There was a while where he wore a sailor's hat. Isn't there some Where Porky Pig wore.
Chick McGee
So that was Porky's debut.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Was called I haven't got. Got a pair of pants. Yeah.
Chick McGee
You know, being a stutterer as a child, I thought. And Porky Pig was. I thought he was my hero. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, very funny. Very funny.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, he wore a beanie every now and again kind of thing.
Chick McGee
A sassy beret. You think?
Josh Arnold
Oh, he's got all kinds of hats.
Tom Griswold
It wasn't a. Maybe it was a yamaka. Because he heard about the proscription on eating pork.
Josh Arnold
You can't enjoy me.
Chick McGee
That's right. That's all fol.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I'll be safe here.
Tom Griswold
Here's a. Here's a great crime story. In 1978, grave robbers. Grave robbers stole the corpse of Charlie Chaplin.
Christy Lee
Why?
Tom Griswold
They did. They didn't get away with it.
Chick McGee
Oh. Oh, I thought you were going to say they still have it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, but who's going to go? I mean, come on.
Josh Arnold
Why did they do that?
Christy Lee
Why did they do that?
Pat Godwin
Probably made him walk like that.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, exactly like they did the potato thing the chaplain did with his chaplain's legs.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Did they think that he had something buried in there?
Tom Griswold
No. They want. They wanted. They demanded money from his. His widow, and she said no. What are they gonna do? Yeah. Kill him. He's already dead.
Chick McGee
You know, that's a bad crime all the way around.
Christy Lee
Yeah, you're right.
Tom Griswold
They ended up.
Josh Arnold
Well, she said, keep him. I'm a Buster Keaton fan.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. They. They got the fellows and got the body back, and then they buried him with a giant concrete slab so the next. So some other idiot couldn't do it. Well, thank you very much. Now, what's coming up in the world of news, Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Coming up, what car habits drive you
Josh Arnold
crazy when there are other cars on the road? Yeah, that kind of bothers me.
Tom Griswold
Backseat driving?
Christy Lee
Yeah, actually, I mean, your passenger. If you have a passenger in your car, what habits do they have that drive you crazy?
Chick McGee
They reach up and open their glove box for no reason.
Josh Arnold
Oh.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
Oh, I'm sorry. I do that when I'm in another car. I'm sorry.
Josh Arnold
When they don't give me H.J. that's annoying.
Tom Griswold
Okay.

Chick McGee
He hang there.
Christy Lee
He had to have done that.
Josh Arnold
How would you get.
Chick McGee
How would you get yourself down?
Tom Griswold
We're gonna find out.
Christy Lee
Find out all those questions.
Chick McGee
Hell, what an idiot.
Christy Lee
Write that down.
Tom Griswold
You see his phone dropping to the ground?
Chick McGee
Oh, hey. Clang.
Josh Arnold
I didn't tell anybody I was doing this.
Tom Griswold
This remote location.
Christy Lee
Let's face it, that's not the first question you're gonna ask him.
Chick McGee
I had to cut my arm off to. Oh, no, that's the other.
Tom Griswold
No, I'll let you ask him.
Christy Lee
I'm not asking.
Pat Godwin
We know what you're gonna ask.
Christy Lee
You're gonna ask him. Speaking of that, dietitians say the fruit with the most laxative like effect is. Anyone want to guess?
Josh Arnold
Avocado.
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Christy Lee
Kiwi.
Josh Arnold
Kiwi.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry, what was the question?
Christy Lee
Dietitian Kelsey Russell Murray told the Internet magazine Eating well that kiwi is packed with fiber that can help your bowels stay regular.
Josh Arnold
When a woman hyphenated name, don't you immediately go difficult? I can't help it.
Chick McGee
I think that's where the big H screwed the pooch. Once she started to put Rodham in there, it was not turn out the lights. Well, then I had somebody killed. But still, I mean, that's.
Tom Griswold
He raised a good point.
Christy Lee
Kiwi also contains an enzyme called actin, which helps break down protein and may have a laxative effect.
Chick McGee
You mean like I slipped on the ice? I had an actin.
Tom Griswold
This has got to be causing problems in the prune community.
Josh Arnold
They were known for it, Right?
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I'd much rather eat prunes than kiwi.
Christy Lee
What's wrong?
Josh Arnold
With you. That's interesting.
Christy Lee
I love kiwis.
Josh Arnold
I don't know.
Christy Lee
Have you ever had a kiwi? Let's be honest.
Tom Griswold
Our kiwis.
Chick McGee
Incredible. Very sexual.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Is that right?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
I've always heard that this cuz prunes aren't.
Chick McGee
No, no, they're poopy. Would make you poopy.
Christy Lee
They like poop. That's why.
Chick McGee
Ever see a prune up close? It's disgusting.
Tom Griswold
Remember the famous commercial about the pitted.
Chick McGee
Today the pits, tomorrow the wrinkles. Suneet marches on.
Josh Arnold
Tom, do you prefer stewed prunes?
Pat Godwin
Oh, those aren't bad.
Chick McGee
Why would they. I'm sorry.
Christy Lee
Old men.
Chick McGee
Grandpa wants to add. Yeah. Yes. Yes.
Josh Arnold
Pat. Those are pretty delicious.
Tom Griswold
This says. This is interesting. Dragon fruit has the most fiber.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
And there was a tik tock challenge in which people would eat two dragon fruit and then time it to see how long it came before took before.
Chick McGee
I have to go to the bathroom.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's.
Christy Lee
Look at you.
Tom Griswold
You've got to be really bored.
Josh Arnold
Yeah man.
Chick McGee
And what is the joke of dragonfruit and testicles or dragon balls?
Josh Arnold
Remember?
Chick McGee
You remember this? I had too much dragon fruit for my balls.
Tom Griswold
Dragon. I don't know.
Chick McGee
I.
Tom Griswold
This is.
Josh Arnold
I don't. I don't know that I've had dragon fruit. Have you guys?
Christy Lee
I have not.
Tom Griswold
I have not.
Chick McGee
Did you ever find.
Christy Lee
Seen it in the store and thought what do you do with that?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Today's the anniversary of the debut of the. The original movie King Kong.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Did you find it unrealistic that he was on top of the Empire State Building and not heaving his own poop?
Josh Arnold
God, Tom, I wasn't sure.
Tom Griswold
I mean, come on.
Chick McGee
You know when they made the remake they didn't address that either.
Josh Arnold
If gorillas do that. If it was a. If they were a superior monkey.
Chick McGee
Is it true that they thought. They thought gorillas were make believe until like 1907? Isn't that right? What? Something like that? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Same with back in the day. Didn't they thought elephants were mythical?
Chick McGee
Elephant and pandas were like mythical.
Tom Griswold
They didn't think they can you imagine in.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
1850 and all of a sudden an elephant walks by.
Christy Lee
Oh, that would be.
Tom Griswold
And you're. And you're in Kansas. I don't see one of these before.
Christy Lee
Oh, circus is in town. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I. I don't know. Well, let's move forward here.
Josh Arnold
What else is going on?
Christy Lee
Speaking of food, the Great Wolf Lodge is announced it will soon be offering a.
Josh Arnold
A dry elevator. Go to one of those places and Try to find a dry elevator.
Christy Lee
Well, it's an indoor water.
Josh Arnold
I'm not complaining. I think it's a fun place.
Chick McGee
I'm just saying it sounds like you're complaining.
Josh Arnold
Every. A little bit. Every. Every elevator. Because it's just.
Chick McGee
With algae.
Josh Arnold
A family of six standing there dripping as they go up to their room.
Chick McGee
I've never heard of these places. Oh, yeah? Never heard of them.
Christy Lee
Oh, they're great, huh? We used to go there a lot with the kids. There's one at Cedar Point.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, my kids just went there, I don't know, three weeks, weeks ago.
Christy Lee
Oh, really? You didn't go with them?
Tom Griswold
No.
Chick McGee
Why would they name a water park after a terrestrial animal?
Christy Lee
That's a great question.
Tom Griswold
Other exciting things. So what are they doing there?
Christy Lee
They're gonna offer a ranch dressing milkshake.
Chick McGee
Oh, hang on, let her talk.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
All right.
Christy Lee
New shake is included among the limited time food items that will be available during the great.
Tom Griswold
The kids that drink those are wearing T shirts when they swim, there's no doubt.
Christy Lee
During the Great Wolf Lodge Spring Splash Fest.
Josh Arnold
Man, this is awful.
Christy Lee
Great Wolf Lodge describes the beverage as a sweet and tangy vanilla ranch shake. Wait, it gets better. Topped with fried chicken, carrots and celery.
Chick McGee
Oh, come on.
Christy Lee
There's one finished with a sweet and salty lime rim and whipped cream.
Tom Griswold
So it looks kind of like one of those exotic Bloody Marys that has all the stuff in them, except it's. What is that? What is that, a tater tot?
Josh Arnold
You said chicken. Chicken nugget.
Tom Griswold
Oh, a chicken nugget. Even funnier.
Chick McGee
That's your nug. Yep.
Christy Lee
The milkshakes release coincides with the arrival of National Ranch Dressing day coming up March 10th.
Tom Griswold
The ranch dressing milkshake.
Chick McGee
And by the way, let's get a jump on this ranch dressing invented in the early 1950s by Nebraska born plumber turned cowboy. Oh, Steve Henson. While working in Alaska. He perfected the buttermilk while working in
Josh Arnold
Alaska late one night.
Chick McGee
Buttermilk based herb dressing. Herb dressing. And later in 1954, moved to California with his wife, Gail. Did I say 60s? I meant 50s. To open Hidden Valley Ranch. They opened it in 1954.
Christy Lee
They're the ones.
Chick McGee
They're the ones.
Josh Arnold
Can you visit Hidden Valley Ranch?
Chick McGee
And then I. I think we all love ranch dressing.
Tom Griswold
Is that correct?
Christy Lee
No.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it has its place. Oh, yeah, that's right. Christy's not a fan.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
No.
Chick McGee
They sold Hidden Valley Ranch to Clorox in 1972.
Tom Griswold
That why it's white.
Chick McGee
And yes, somebody Touch them.
Tom Griswold
Touch a bleach for.
Chick McGee
For $8 million in 1970. And now Hidden Valley Ranch worth almost $9 million. Yeah. Probably billions.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
So I'm. So it's. Is there ice cream in it or
Josh Arnold
is it just crispy? I mean, it is a milkshake.
Christy Lee
Didn't say, but I would assume vanilla. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Can't be very.
Chick McGee
Is it the most popular salad dressing?
Josh Arnold
I bet it is.
Christy Lee
I bet it is.
Chick McGee
Is.
Tom Griswold
No.
Chick McGee
No. What about Willie?
Tom Griswold
Lives about an hour from one of the great wolf lodges. We could maybe have him do a remote.
Chick McGee
When they maybe do a field.
Tom Griswold
Field report trying one of the milkshakes.
Christy Lee
So you would not try this?
Josh Arnold
No. Well, I might have a sip just to say I did, but I wouldn't order it.
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
I guess Culver's is doing a cream of mushroom concrete mixer just to respond on to this.
Chick McGee
Oh, man.
Pat Godwin
I love ranch dressing more than all of you.
Christy Lee
You do?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Do you have a song about it? I do. Oh.
Pat Godwin
Little intro.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Pat Godwin
Dear ranch dressing, I love you so I wrote this letter I know that you're bad for me but everything dipped in you tastes better. Broccoli, better. Carrots, much better. Dry salads, practically inedible but with you on top, it's incredible. Celery would be healthy and depressing without you Ranch dressing. Ranch ranch dressing. Your tasty ranch dressing straight from the bottle. You ought to try it. I miss you on a pizza slice those two days in May when I'm on a diet. Wings better I lick it off my sweater. My jealous girlfriend Sally can't compete with your hidden valley that creamy goodness I savor Even on kale, you enhance the flavor so my love for you I'm confessing Dear ranch dressing.
Christy Lee
Ah.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. Christy.
Josh Arnold
Have you ever had a Caesar salad?
Christy Lee
No. Yeah, I have, but without the dressing.
Chick McGee
Well, it's not a Caesar salad.
Tom Griswold
What
Chick McGee
closer were you smacking in the face?
Christy Lee
I do I get a Caesar salad without the dress?
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I don't know, because the dressing really does make the Caesar salad. It's all in the dressing there.
Christy Lee
Well, it's. It can be really good with, you know, some nice shaved parmesan, you know where that's from? Some croutons.
Chick McGee
Here we go. Somewhere in Cleveland.
Tom Griswold
Mexico.
Josh Arnold
Mexico invented the Caesar salad.
Tom Griswold
Yep. Guy. You know what the guy's name was?
Christy Lee
Caesar.
Josh Arnold
Yep.
Pat Godwin
Cesar.
Tom Griswold
So it should be a Cesar salad.
Chick McGee
Oh, is that true?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Are you messing with me?
Tom Griswold
I'll have to look it up. I. I'm buying that from memory. I Think that's what it was.
Christy Lee
Can a salad have too much dressing?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Pat Godwin
You ruin it.
Christy Lee
That's why I have to get it on the side. I have to get dressing on the side.
Chick McGee
You cannot have now are. You never have to.
Tom Griswold
Are you the one that. You take your fork and.
Christy Lee
Yes, I do that.
Tom Griswold
Touch the dressing. Dressing. Then to take a piece of lettuce when you order.
Josh Arnold
I'll do that every now and again.
Tom Griswold
Really? French on the side?
Christy Lee
I do so on the side.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Well, on a different note, in case you missed that, there was a sort of a revelatory piece of comedy from Josh this morning. Oh, involving, is it? Was it Tenga?
Christy Lee
Tenga, which is a sex toy company, was hacked.
Tom Griswold
It's a sex toy company. They were hacked. So they had to tell all the people that had bought stuff from them that your name and address and phone number, whatever, it's. It's out there. And so we were talking about the. The Tanga company, and Josh opined a couple of very fine jokes, one of them involving some movie stars and a movie they were in. Do you recall what the joke was?
Josh Arnold
They do not. That website does not take credit cards. You have to send them bills. You have to send them paper money.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Josh Arnold
It's a Tanga and cash.
Tom Griswold
Tanga and cash. Something along those lines, referencing a. A semi obscure.
Chick McGee
I don't know why. I liked it more before.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well. Yeah, well, when one starts to dissect.
Chick McGee
Yeah, Gossamer. That's true. Yeah. You can't catch a moment like that. I have.
Josh Arnold
Let's see.
Tom Griswold
This is from. From Jonathan, fan of Tango and Cash.
Josh Arnold
I am too. Honestly.
Tom Griswold
He goes. I was driving and my car broke down and I had to wait inside a sex toy shop. Sure you did, because it was snowing and it was freezing outside. I went inside the sex toy shop. I was browsing around. I came across a very large dildo.
Josh Arnold
Well, you're not supposed to do that
Christy Lee
until you buy it.
Chick McGee
Yeah, don't come across anything until you buy it.
Tom Griswold
I came across a very large dildo with a picture of Sylvester Stallone on it. It was called the Rambone. No, I. I don't think it was properly licensed.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Jonathan.
Josh Arnold
The John Rambo man.
Tom Griswold
Wow. Thank you very much. I enjoyed Tenga and Cash.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, I like it, too.
Tom Griswold
And it. And the simultaneous calling with your girlfriend because it takes two to tango. Also stellar work. I will always remember where I was when I heard that. Now, what's coming up in the news, Christy Lee?
Christy Lee
We have a lunar eclipse Coming up, ladies and gentlemen. And we have an exploding phone in the news.
Josh Arnold
Should we have led with that? Are our phones gonna blow up?
Tom Griswold
Our.
Josh Arnold
Wesley, we're.
Chick McGee
You got a story like that, you should tell us first.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And is this. Is the moon thing tonight?
Christy Lee
Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's Tuesday morning. So Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Tom Griswold
Okay. And it's a.
Chick McGee
You get to midnight. I. I get thrown.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I know.
Tom Griswold
It's a lunar eclipse, right?
Christy Lee
Correct.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Okay, we'll get to that coming up. Right now, I want to remind you about something that's a terrific gift even for yourself. It's the aura frame. A U R A. It's a picture frame. I love the thing, but it's electronic. And right now I'm looking at this picture of Josh as a picture of Pat. It rotates through these photographs and is electronic and videos. There's a picture of me in the original studio here in this building,
Chick McGee
1937.
Tom Griswold
I can tell because black and white behind me. Behind me are what they used to call carts with.
Chick McGee
And I believe to your. To your. Right behind you was the helium tank.
Tom Griswold
A huge tank of helium. Helium. The aura frame. You can preload it and you can add to it whenever you want. You can be in a different state and add. Say you get one for your mom. You can send her pictures every morning. She can wake up, go out, walk out to her desk and there's a picture of Jeff Oskay in a hot tub or me in a cowboy hat.
Chick McGee
We should do one day a week helium sports. We should bring that back. And I know you had a headache, but I'd be willing to see if it would cause a headache. I don't think it would me.
Tom Griswold
We would inhale helium and then talk real funny. Yeah. Or I could just say I took helium. They were doing that on Saturday night on cnn. I thought it was inappropriate.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it would have been inappropriate.
Chick McGee
Saturday night, about 3 or 4 in the morning. Is that when they were doing it?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, the aura. The aura frame. These are great. I love this. As soon as we started talking about them, I ended up going out and getting one. It's been named number one by Wirecutter.

Blessing from me.
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, there's Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
Yes. Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi there.
Chick McGee
Ace Cosby's here.
Christy Lee
Hello.
Chick McGee
I'm Chick and hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
We were just talking about ranch drop dressing and there's a. I didn't. There is an official ranch dressing day.
Christy Lee
Yeah. March 10th.
Tom Griswold
March 10th. A little tribute. And we've had stories about ranch dressing. There's a place that had a ranch dressing fountain, a big one. I guess they that's kind of common now at weddings and stuff.
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
Instead of instead of a chocolate fountain, you have a ranch dressing?
Christy Lee
I've never seen that.
Tom Griswold
Does anybody have a salad bar anymore? We were to trying, trying to determine. Oh, are there any restaurants that have a salad bar anymore?
Josh Arnold
I mean, your Golden Corral. They've still got one. I don't know about Ruby Tuesdays.
Chick McGee
I thought it was coming. It was making a big comeback recently, the salad bar in general.
Tom Griswold
I thought, did you know this for those of you that are interested in modern slash contemporary art, that it was on a trip to a salad bar bar that Jackson Pollock.
Christy Lee
I knew this was.
Tom Griswold
He got to the end of the salad bar and someone had put the Thousand island ladle in the ranch. And he went, oh, my God.
Josh Arnold
Hey, that's not bad.
Tom Griswold
He rushed home, smoked a couple filterless cigarettes and began work.
Josh Arnold
How about that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it? But that's actually how they invented that whirly art they used to have at the state fair.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Remember that?
Chick McGee
Did you ever do one of those
Tom Griswold
swirl art so it spins around? Oh, that's great. There's a great variation on that that Josh got for my kids. A Few years ago for Easter eggs.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it's coming up.
Tom Griswold
Crayons and it spins the eggs. Wonderful. Thank you, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Welcome.
Christy Lee
Do you have a spirograph when you were a kid?
Tom Griswold
Oh, sure, absolutely.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Did you have one of those chick. The Spiderography.
Chick McGee
I loved it.
Josh Arnold
Is that the thing that would turn. You would put your pencil in it?
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Justin Scott
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And it had different kind of wheels,
Chick McGee
hollow gear, and you're inside and.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I liked that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And now we have, coming up, a discussion with a gent who climbed radio towers for a living.
Chick McGee
Our week long celebration of idiots in the workforce.
Christy Lee
Now, we're not going to call him an idiot today. Fearless.
Tom Griswold
I wonder if he ever got people in the workforce. Suppose he ever got up there and forgot the bulb. These are. These are valid questions.
Christy Lee
Oh, man.
Tom Griswold
Did he have a walkie talkie to go? Lloyd? Yeah, I forgot the bulb.
Christy Lee
They have a big bucket that you
Tom Griswold
could like under some gag. He sends the bucket down, but, you know, never.
Christy Lee
All right.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Christy Lee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Got a present for you, Lloyd. What have you got, Christy?
Christy Lee
A cell phone exploded in the pocket of a guy, but it may have saved his life. This happened to a man in Brazil. He was attacked by two large dogs while walking to work.
Chick McGee
Well, that sucks. Yeah, what a day I'm having.
Christy Lee
One of the dogs lunged at his throat. When it went for his leg, it bit down on the phone in his pocket, causing the battery to explode.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Christy Lee
The blast burned through his shorts and left him with minor birds, but burns. But it did scare the dogs away.
Chick McGee
What type of jaw strength do you have to have. Have to crunch on a cell phone?
Tom Griswold
Well, big dog, big dogs. So it was a burner phone?
Josh Arnold
Yes, it turned out to be.
Tom Griswold
My phone blows up. It means I'm just getting too many texts, but this is serious business.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, wow, it's that. That, by the way, is the new iPhone C4. They've just come out with that. Is it a Samsung C4? I'm sorry.
Christy Lee
On a lighter note, the total lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red across several continents this week. The spectacle will be visible early Tuesday morning in North America, Central America and the western part of South America, while in Australia and eastern Asia, it will be seen on Tuesday night. Now, during a total lunar eclipse, the Earth, of course, is between the sun and a full moon, casting a shadow that covers the moon, if you believe
Josh Arnold
that kind of thing.
Christy Lee
Yeah, and the so called blood moon is red because of stray bits of sunlight filtering through the earth's atmosphere and pollution. Christy, Tuesday's Total eclipse of the moon comes two weeks after a ring of fire. Solar eclipse. Eclipse that dazzled people and penguins. The penguins were dazzled. Were they?
Tom Griswold
I left that in there. This is a. From the Associated Press. The last line. It dazzled people and penguins in Antarctica. Really?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
The penguins looked up.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I think they
Tom Griswold
could. Really.
Chick McGee
Hey, hey, Bert, you hear that?
Josh Arnold
Huh? What's that?
Chick McGee
Something's going on up in the sky there.
Josh Arnold
Well, I don't think you. Whoa.
Tom Griswold
Hey, you know something, by the way?
Chick McGee
Is it me, or are you cold, too? Aren't you cold?
Tom Griswold
I'm looking forward. The frog Friday. I hear it's casual Friday. Get rid of the tux.
Chick McGee
And what?
Josh Arnold
Dazzled.
Chick McGee
What about this? Is there a rumor on the Internet? I saw this come across the timeline. Something's heading toward the Earth for 27, and it seems to be guided by some. It's one of these gigantic rumors. Did you see this?
Josh Arnold
I have seen it, yeah.
Tom Griswold
So you're telling me that idiots get a hold of things, they can type them out and have them go on the Internet?
Josh Arnold
It's interesting because there. There are actually scientists going, we don't know why this is moving the way it is.
Chick McGee
Yeah, They've.
Christy Lee
That's.
Chick McGee
I think that's what started it.
Josh Arnold
Right, right. And then. And then people took off with it. But, yeah, they were like, it's not supposed to be moving this way.
Chick McGee
And I. I think this is how something real bad might happen is that we go, that's ridiculous.
Tom Griswold
Is anyone suggesting sacrificing virgins? Not yet, because that would be the way to go. And by the way, now both male and female, female versions.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
That's the politically correct way to do human sacrifice?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. You got to do both male and female.
Tom Griswold
I mean, just suppose back in the day that some, what we would consider somewhat primitive group would see one of these eclipses and go, whoa, we angered them.
Josh Arnold
Some. Yeah. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
We have to sacrifice gods.
Chick McGee
Well, think about it. When they saw eclipses, they did that, and the sun came back.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, exactly. I mean, like the coincidences.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Kind of worked in their favor, right?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Chief, you know your idea about the virgin? I think it worked.
Chick McGee
Thank God.
Josh Arnold
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
By the way, that was my niece. You.
Christy Lee
Oh, my God. There was an interesting story over the weekend about. I found a mummy of a girl that was one of these sacrificial virgins, but she was. She was sitting with her arms crossed. She was. She froze to death. They left her out to freeze rather than putting her on an altar.
Josh Arnold
Oh, boy.
Christy Lee
Many, many, many, many years ago. And she's almost completely. I mean, it's. It's as if she was. Had woke up yesterday. I mean, you know what? She's just so preserved. It's pretty incredible.
Josh Arnold
Weird.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
So they wrapped her up after she froze.
Christy Lee
She wasn't mummied. She. They just left her. She just. The ice and snow covered her while she was sitting there, and. And they found her many thousands of years later. And she had been preserved that way. She wasn't a mummy. I guess I shouldn't have said that way.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry.
Christy Lee
She was mummified.
Tom Griswold
So they didn't throw off a cliff and she did a cannonball.
Christy Lee
No, but.
Chick McGee
Newscast.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, frozen that way.
Chick McGee
Newscast then, though, said, we don't know if this worked, but we. One thing's for sure. We. We never will find a solution. Back to you, Chris.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, we're gonna talk with Mr. Justin Scott, radio tower climber, and find out what. What it's like to do something that dangerous. And we certainly appreciate your presence.
Chick McGee
Our hairbrained employment week continues.

Justin Scott
I can.
Tom Griswold
Ah, it's great talking to you, sir. It's my understanding you formerly were a radio tower climber. Is that correct?
Justin Scott
It is, it is, unfortunately.
Tom Griswold
Now, what do you say? That you didn't get hurt, did you?
Justin Scott
No, no, no, no. It's just a young man's game. I fell in love with the industry at a young age, being just one of those guys. And nobody tells you when you're younger that your body is going to slowly fall apart on you later. Just. Just a job that I love and I miss, dear.
Tom Griswold
So when you climb these towers, are you. Is it primarily to change light bulbs?
Justin Scott
Primarily? No. Those light bulbs very rarely burn out. Generally, you're climbing up there to maintain one of the several systems they have, whether it's the communications with Microwave all your DirecTV signals come from there now and then. Of course, cell phones is the primary game.
Tom Griswold
Aha. We. The reason I brought it up that way was because we just had someone come here to climb our tower, one of the towers where we are, and change the light bulb that was on top.
Chick McGee
And I don't want to tell you your business, but we got a microwave in the break room. I don't know what you're talking about. As far as if I want popcorn, I'm not climbing to the top of that tower. Am I right, everybody?
Tom Griswold
Justin, when you're climbing one of these, do you, like, have a safety line that you hook up every couple feet? Feet?
Justin Scott
Absolutely. OSHA laws are very strict. Obviously with this job. The older towers do not have a safety strand on them, so you have to hook up every couple of feet, unhook, hook again, and so forth. The new towers have a 3,8 inch steel strand cable that goes from the bottom all the way to the top. You got a little mechanism that's on your chest. It clicks to it, it goes up, it goes down. If you go down too fast, it locks and catches you.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever climb a tower with the more primitive safety feature and slip and have it be dangling there?
Justin Scott
A few times? Yeah, a lot of the old.
Chick McGee
A few times.
Justin Scott
Well, Chick, you know, there is things like wind and rain.
Chick McGee
Oh, my gosh, I don't know. The first half time I'd stop.
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Chick McGee
Wouldn't take me a full time.
Tom Griswold
So when you're dangling there, then what do you do? Do you have a radio to tell someone to come get you or.
Justin Scott
Well, hopefully you didn't take too much of a spill and you can just pick yourself up and go on about your day. Yeah, you do have a radio on you. And you know, if you not say you knock yourself unconscious, there's a guy on the ground that should be able to see you dang in there. Just blow it in the breeze.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Chick McGee
What a great job.
Josh Arnold
On average, how long does it take you to get from the bottom to the top? Top?
Justin Scott
It depends on the height of the tower. Thousand foot tower. A couple of hours.
Josh Arnold
Okay,
Tom Griswold
this. This is going to sound stupid, but it's because I'm asking it. Do you ever hear in your, like, in your fillings in your mouth, do you ever hear like an AM radio signal from the tower you're climbing?
Chick McGee
Yes, please tell.
Josh Arnold
Or is it like a weird feeling, like, can you tell that you're being
Justin Scott
bombarded with some sort of radiation with Radioactive violation.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
I asked this because during an interview,
Chick McGee
if you ever wanted to punch anyone more. That's my question.
Tom Griswold
My toaster used to get the AM radio signal from this building where we are, the tower. Because I lived like a thousand yards away and I could literally hear the sports broadcast.
Christy Lee
Would it only when you had to turn the toaster on in your feelings.
Justin Scott
No.
Tom Griswold
No, you didn't. Never heard that. Okay, I understand. It's a phenomenon that happens to many.
Announcer
Can you.
Tom Griswold
Is there. This is another stupid question. If you touch a radio tower, can you get electrocuted?
Justin Scott
If it's an AM tower, absolutely.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Justin Scott
If you touch an FM tower, you're fine. If you touch an AM tower, you are going to get a very, very large jolt and you're not going to like it at all.
Tom Griswold
That's currently happening in the financing of radio.
Christy Lee
Yeah,
Josh Arnold
We're all terrified.
Chick McGee
So we have a couple weeks of employment.
Tom Griswold
Okay. So once again, we're speaking with Justin Scott, a man who at one point was a tower climber. Professionally now.
Josh Arnold
Tom, go ahead, ask him what you've been dying to. No, no, no, no.
Tom Griswold
I have other questions before we get to the big one.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Christy Lee
Were you just. When you retired from that?
Justin Scott
I was about 37, 38 when I was just. It hurt. The climb. Every day soldiers are the first to get.
Tom Griswold
Did you have to wait? You couldn't do in the rain, I assume.
Justin Scott
365 days a year.
Josh Arnold
Wow. Did you ever encounter like a surprise bird up there where you're kind of climbing and all of a sudden right in your face.
Justin Scott
Oh, God. Yeah. So when generally you climb through and you open the hatch to the. To the top platform and sometimes there's a bird nice enough to scare the crap out of you.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Justin Scott
Unless you're in southern Florida. Then it's a snake or a large iguana.
Tom Griswold
How'd they get up there?
Christy Lee
Same way he did.
Chick McGee
Hey.
Justin Scott
I've been whipped in the face by iguanas and I literally grabbed snakes and just threw them off the tower. Slowly float in the breeze until they hit the canopy below.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Did you watch the recent tower or I guess, building climb of that free famous Free Climb climber? Did you see any of that?
Justin Scott
Alex is amazing. I've also watched his other solo climb that he does his other documentaries. It's older.
Christy Lee
Yeah, the Free Solo.
Chick McGee
Free Solo, Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I had trouble watching that. It's so scary. I watched the most recent one, but I was thinking, what if he reached up and there was some kind of metal flange and Sliced his hand open.
Justin Scott
Right. That's because attached properly.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Or the whole hunk of metal fell off.
Justin Scott
Very impressive to watch. And even as a tower climber, I'm watching free solo. I was very sick to my stomach because I know. I know how important safety is and I know the cost of one mistake. So it was very hard for me to watch that, as enjoyable as it was.
Josh Arnold
Would you dream about falling?
Justin Scott
All the time.
Josh Arnold
All the time?
Tom Griswold
Time
Chick McGee
especially.
Justin Scott
We had a partial tower collapse on us one time. That was a really fun day. 600 foot tower. The top hundred feet had broke away in the middle of the night and become weak. And we're up there working at 400ft in the air, and all of a sudden you hear a lot of noise and you feel a lot of jumping around and your instinct is to look down and then you look up and that's, you know, generally when you evacuate all of your.
Chick McGee
That brings us to Tom's favorite question.
Tom Griswold
Well, if it takes you two hours to get up there and nature calls, obviously, you certainly have peed off the top of a tower.
Justin Scott
Oh, yeah, those just fine.
Tom Griswold
And we were introduced to the term mud falcon, referencing a more significant bowel issue number two.
Christy Lee
Just say it.
Tom Griswold
Did you ever have to do that while you're up there?
Justin Scott
Unfortunately, yes.
Josh Arnold
So please walk us through that.
Tom Griswold
What I assume you radio down to Lloyd and go, lloyd, mud Falcon. You might want to get 100 yards away.
Justin Scott
Yeah. So. So basically the process of it is. Yeah, of course, first, first off, you radio down, down. Not only are there guys on the ground, there's guys on the tower below you.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Justin Scott
The second most important thing is to find which direction the wind is blowing towards. Of course you want to. You want to go downwind, downwind side of tower so that hopefully there's enough of a breeze to carry the weight.
Chick McGee
Right.
Justin Scott
To track it away from the tower somewhere. What?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Justin Scott
In the case of my poor friend Andy. One day we had. We had been out the night before and we'd been drinking a lot and we were at a Mexican restaurant. So. So about 10:00 o'clock the next morning, poor Andy starts squirming around and he's like, you guys have got to get to the other side. Call it in. Let them know, you know, stage two cleaner. And Andy had not given enough thought to all of the Mexican food and tequila. And there was. There was nothing solid about it.
Christy Lee
All right.
Justin Scott
Unfortunately for him, there's a little bit of a circular wind that day onto his legs and his pants. And we made Andy Abruptly climb down the tower because he was not allowed to work with us anymore.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. I would think you'd want to do a lot of prep. So did you have to know a lot about engineering and that sort of thing? Because once you were up there, you've actually, you've got a lot of stuff you got to do.
Justin Scott
Presumably terrifyingly, no monkey with a wrench.
Tom Griswold
Wow. Well, Justin, thanks for talking to us. Justin Scott used to climb towers for a living. And what do you happen to know in today's world, what would it cost for a man or a woman to climb a 1,000 foot tower? Tower? Is it based on height or length of time up there fixing it? What's the.
Justin Scott
Generally, it's an hourly rate, anywhere from 75 to $125 an hour. Plus there's a fee associated with coming out to the tower in the first place. So if you've got a thousand foot tower, you got a couple of hours to climb it. So that's probably, you know, $250, $300 and $300 to come out.
Josh Arnold
So that's way low, dude.
Justin Scott
That much of an extent? It is very low.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Let me ask you this. If you were, say, a fighter pilot and you're in a. In a tavern of some sort and you meet some young lady, that's kind of impressive. Did. Were there. Were there ladies that were impressed with the tower climbers and is there a name for those groupies?
Justin Scott
Unfortunately, the ladies are not impressed. It's always the younger guys that are impressed. Which, depending on which way you're going, I suppose is a good or a bad thing.
Chick McGee
Sure, yeah.
Justin Scott
I mean, in today's world, I don't judge anybody. It's your life. You do what makes you happy.
Chick McGee
And oddly enough, they call those gentlemen tower climbers. Oh, yeah. Same thing they do.
Justin Scott
Ask how you get into this industry, and my answer has always been it starts with a lot of bad decisions at a young age.
Tom Griswold
I see. I see. Well, Justin, you sound like a great guy. Thanks so much for your time. And stay off the towers.
Justin Scott
Yes, sir. Tom, thank you so much. I love this show. Been listening a long time. Over 30 years now. Keep doing what you guys are doing.
Tom Griswold
That's very kind of you.
Josh Arnold
Thank you, sir.
Tom Griswold
Wow, man, we learned a lot.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we did.
Tom Griswold
So next time you see a guy up in that tower, it could be
Josh Arnold
he may have had tequila in Mexican the night before. You hope the wind wasn't blowing toward the parking lot a lot, don't you?
Tom Griswold
Also, you hope you don't lose Focus. That's the other thing.
Chick McGee
Now see there's another great joke. The guy comes out and sees that on his windshield. What kind of bird flew over something like that? Right?
Tom Griswold
I see the hell.
Chick McGee
What's that bird eat?
Tom Griswold
We urge you to stay safe when you're climbing a tower or changing your. Changing out your tire or and peace
Chick McGee

Chick McGee
Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee at the News D desk. Hello, Pat Godwin at the music thing.
Pat Godwin
Hey Chick.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well, the music thing.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold at the snarky comments.
Tom Griswold
Hello, sidekick.
Chick McGee
Cheer I believe there's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.
Josh Arnold
He likes sidekick because it marginalizes my
Tom Griswold
role on the show.
Josh Arnold
Just so you remember Josh, you're not really a part of the show. You're just the sidekick. Makes Tom feel better.
Pat Godwin
He calls me Fifth Banana.
Tom Griswold
Trying to think if that's the reason. Let's see now. Oh, I know we have a request, Pat. Oh, let's see. This comes to us from Slow Joe.
Josh Arnold
Slow Joe.
Chick McGee
Slow Joe.
Tom Griswold
He calls himself slow Joe from St. Joe.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Chick McGee
Wow. I'd like to get to know him. Said no one ever, but go ahead.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's just mean.
Chick McGee
What? Hi, I'm Slow Joe.
Tom Griswold
Really? Really.
Chick McGee
All night.
Tom Griswold
You don't want to be. Come on.
Josh Arnold
All night with this?
Chick McGee
You know, it's my thing.
Tom Griswold
I mean, there's certain things. You want to be slow though, right?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Yeah.
Chick McGee
You're talking about sex?
Tom Griswold
Her?
Chick McGee
Are you talking about sex? You talking about the sex?
Christy Lee
Talking about the sex?
Chick McGee
Go ahead, say what's on your mind.
Tom Griswold
Who's this guy?
Pat Godwin
I like it.
Chick McGee
It's Donovan Franken Reader. I went down his hole over the weekend.
Tom Griswold
Okay, you went down his hole.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
Slow or fast? Say.
Chick McGee
Say what's on your mind, he says.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Mr. Godwin. You are phenomenal talent.
Pat Godwin
Say it louder.
Tom Griswold
Oh, and then he's complaining. I. I mentioned the Metallica show. The shows that are set for the sphere. Oh, right, yeah. Coming up this fall. That should should be great.
Josh Arnold
Yes, they should be.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Not guaranteed.
Tom Griswold
It should be, but I said at their age. When the Sandman enters, it's 5:30 in the afternoon.
Josh Arnold
I like that show.
Tom Griswold
He gets kind of in there early, apparently. That upset at Slow Joe. Sorry, Joe. I thought rather amusing. I'm older. I'm older than those guys, so I can't complain.
Chick McGee
I'll get right in Slow Joe's face about that. Yeah. Come on.
Josh Arnold
That joke's valid.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. I mean, they still got it.
Chick McGee
Sure, it starts earlier, but he wants
Tom Griswold
to hear your song. I told you which one it was. I don't want to give away the punchline. That's kind of in the title. You know what I'm talking about. Remember the one I requested a few.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, I'm already.
Tom Griswold
Go ahead.
Chick McGee
God.
Tom Griswold
You can start now.
Chick McGee
Better way to do this. There's got to be some way you two can get along when we're broadcasting into people's cars and homes about to
Tom Griswold
become the Sixth Man.
Pat Godwin
This is what he wants to hear. We've said the title before. We don't have to say it now. We'll just do the song.
Josh Arnold
All right?
Chick McGee
Okay.
Pat Godwin
Really enjoy it.
Chick McGee
Sing along friggin guitar, will you?
Pat Godwin
If you want to Be a cheater, go out of state to meet her. Don't make a trip, just a Facebook friend. Don't film your love making or text your picture taking. No emails, think before you send. Clear your history, control, alt, delete. Use the hotel's computer on the slide. And if you get asked, just stand there aghast. And deny, deny, deny. Everybody now. Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny. If the picture's incriminating, the two of you fornicating, just tell your wife it's photoshopped, she'll buy it. If someone saw you banger, blame it on a doppelganger. Anger that wasn't me there in the park. If you get caught red handed kissing someone else, just say it was mouth to mouth or she would die. If you're at the hospital and your mistress shows up, deny, deny, deny. You know how it goes. Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny. Don't go to sporting events that have a jumbo screen. If she confronts you, blame it on AI. Check her clothes for hair and the car for underwear. And deny, deny, deny one more time now. Deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny.
Tom Griswold
Check the car for underwear. Thank you very much, Pat. You're well once again going out to
Christy Lee
slow in the car.
Tom Griswold
Lots of people what now leaves their
Christy Lee
underwear in the car.
Tom Griswold
You have never removed underwear while in an automobile?
Christy Lee
I don't believe so.
Tom Griswold
You just did the sideways tuck.
Chick McGee
Wow, thanks for that, Tom. All right, that does down the old side.
Tom Griswold
The old hook and talk.
Chick McGee
You know, you would think on. On radio you wouldn't have to audio and visually.
Josh Arnold
But apparently the old hook and talk sideways.
Christy Lee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
If you've ever lost your underwear having some kind of adventure, by all means write us a letter. Bob and tom.com.
Chick McGee
hook and Scoop, you numb skull.
Tom Griswold
Oh, sorry.
Chick McGee
I am watching the pit as well. Did you watch that episode?
Tom Griswold
I think I may be behind by one.
Chick McGee
Okay, well, the older lady was had. Was constipated.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that. I saw that one. That was rough.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they have to hook and scoop.
Chick McGee
Hook and scoop.
Tom Griswold
How about the guy that. How about the guy that won the hot dog eating contest?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, that's rough. Yeah. Yikes, huh? Yeah. By the way, I mentioned this earlier. Eric Clapton has just announced some American dates for his tour. So those of you that are Clapton fans, such as yours truly interested. He'll be in Detroit, Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Kansas City. Those are the only ones I've seen. I know he's touring this summer in. In September.
Chick McGee
In September. He's in those events.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
How many of you have seen him?
Tom Griswold
Oh, wow.
Josh Arnold
And in any iteration, probably about 10. Oh, nice. Would you say that's the most of any musician that you've seen their concert?
Tom Griswold
Very good question, and I'm not sure of the answer.
Josh Arnold
Maybe I've never seen him live with you guys.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Pat Godwin
I have saw him, met him. He signed my guitar.
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's amazing.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I went with Tom to see. See Cream in London. That was amazing.
Tom Griswold
I've seen him. I've seen him in London, Dallas, New York. Wow. Lots of places.
Josh Arnold
If he played my. If he played Crossroads first, I would. I think I would be like. Because. Because that's. That's really what I would really love to hear and play. I might be okay. I'm good.
Christy Lee
I'm good.
Tom Griswold
Gotta go.
Josh Arnold
Even though I'd want to stay for the rest. Yeah.
Christy Lee
I'll never forget I saw him and I. This was a long time ago and I took a date who happened to be in medical school and he said, we're going to see who. And I go, eric Clapton. Never heard of him. He never heard of Eric Clapton.
Tom Griswold
Well, that's fine. I mean, he's. I'm glad he knows the difference between a split clean.
Chick McGee
There are stupid people. Doctor.
Christy Lee
He wasn't very. He wasn't into music much.
Tom Griswold
Did you. Was he into you? No. Was the date successful? Did you.
Christy Lee
We dated for a while.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Christy Lee
That's a very famous cardiologist.
Chick McGee
Did you have, you know, go all the way.
Christy Lee
None of your business.
Pat Godwin
Do the slide and tuck.
Christy Lee
How is the slide and tuck, huh?
Josh Arnold
Think about. He may not have known who Clapton was, but did. Did he know? A little slow hand.
Chick McGee
Oh, wow.
Christy Lee
Well, he.
Chick McGee
Did you lay down? Did you lay. Lay down, Sally, Lay down.
Tom Griswold
Okay, now we return to Christy Lee at the Bob and Tom news desk.
Justin Scott
Scared me.
Chick McGee
I thought you were gonna say sport. I've got. I've got my. My whole little stand over here packed up.
Tom Griswold
He does.
Josh Arnold
I can see your desk.
Chick McGee
It's.
Josh Arnold
It's ready for tomorrow to go.
Chick McGee
I'm out the door.
Pat Godwin
His.
Josh Arnold
His computer's folded. He's got his paper stacked for tomorrow.
Chick McGee
I'm this close to putting. Putting the scarf on.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we usually get till 10 till.
Chick McGee
Well, here's some sports.
Christy Lee
What?
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Christy Lee
Thailand has begun using a birth control vaccine on wild elephants to curb the population near expanding farms.
Chick McGee
Wild elephants, aren't they.
Christy Lee
As farmers cut down forest to make more farmland, elephants are forced to venture out of their shrinking habitats in search of Food. Which is very sad.
Josh Arnold
Chick, didn't you once go hunting for elephants in your pajamas?
Chick McGee
Yeah, and how those elephants got in my pajamas, I'll never know. Thank you, Groucho.
Christy Lee
Often leading to danger, dangerous and even deadly confrontations.
Pat Godwin
Hey, what was that?
Chick McGee
What the hell?
Josh Arnold
Hit that cough button a little sooner.
Chick McGee
Huh?
Tom Griswold
My God, I hit the cough button. Thank you very much.
Christy Lee
One wildlife official told the Associated Press that the new vaccine aims to reduce the wild elephant population in areas with the highest rates of violent human elephant conflict. Oh yeah.
Tom Griswold
So it's an injectable meaning. Because back in the day it was a suppository. Boy, that's. That is a rough gig. Because you don't want to get them mad. They can kick you. Boy, you've heard about the guys that have to inseminate cows.
Josh Arnold
That's really. That's quite a gig, isn't it?
Tom Griswold
That's a, that's a glove that goes up to your shoulder.
Chick McGee
No, absolutely, they have that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. And they're called semen jockeys. Right? You think, you think, you think the guys at the Kentucky Derby are small? The semen jockey.
Christy Lee
Hey, how are you?
Pat Godwin
The old slide and duck man.
Tom Griswold
So, so this is a. It's an ant. So it's a birth control vaccine for elephants.
Josh Arnold
You think they shoot them from afar?
Christy Lee
Like they have to. Like a gun.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And there are a lot of, you know, pesky anti vax elephant people.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I tell you something. New vaccine. Make you tick.
Tom Griswold
Jumbo Kennedy is his name.
Josh Arnold
No, no, I, I want another one minute of silence.
Pat Godwin
Vacuum.
Chick McGee
No, not silent. It's reflection.
Josh Arnold
That's right.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's right.
Christy Lee
He loved it.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Of introspective analysis.
Tom Griswold
Do they have, do they have that? Do they have that?
Chick McGee
Hang on. Still taking a moment. Hang on.
Tom Griswold
Do they have that for humans yet?
Christy Lee
What?
Tom Griswold
A birth control injection? Yeah, they do.
Chick McGee
It's like nor plant.
Christy Lee
Yeah, Nor plant. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Remember that. Okay, but. Okay, but it's not like a shot.
Christy Lee
Oh no.
Chick McGee
Well, but that's how they get it into your well source.
Christy Lee
Sorta, kinda kind of sorta.
Josh Arnold
Oh no. I bet if you shot any freeze into your balls, they probably wouldn't work anymore.
Chick McGee
You know how you make it?
Tom Griswold
You know something? I beg to differ. Yeah, go ahead. Hey, Tom, you know how the first time I tried it though it was windshield wiper fluid. I've got to mark that stuff better in my garage.
Chick McGee
You know how to make antifreeze, don't you, John? Hydra nightgown.
Tom Griswold
Okay, very good.
Chick McGee
Thank you very much.
Christy Lee
A toucan that has been seen flying around Las Vegas for months has finally been captured. Sam the Toucan was living in Vegas since November.
Josh Arnold
Well, first off, it's toucan Sam.
Christy Lee
Well, it's called Sam the Toucan.
Josh Arnold
Are they afraid of being sued by Kellogg?
Pat Godwin
That's exactly.
Chick McGee
I'm Bernard Schweizer representing Froot Loops.
Christy Lee
And though popular with locals, bird experts expressed worry over his health. Sky Marsh from Southwest Exotic Aven Rescue told the AP that Sam had recently flown into a garage and the homeowners were able to shut the door so he could not escape. Gotcha, Sam.
Chick McGee
They put the end of their problem.
Christy Lee
The rescue group was able to take him to a veterinarian. Despite some wear and tear, Sam appears to be okay.
Josh Arnold
Well, what a Daffy Duck. Teach us, chick. It's if you get shot in the beak, it just spins around to the back of your head.
Chick McGee
Oh, I love it.
Tom Griswold
Cartoon anatomy is the greatest.
Chick McGee
Let's try this.
Tom Griswold
That again. You get a shovel in the face.
Chick McGee
Shoot him now. Shoot him now. You don't have to shoot him now. Oh.
Christy Lee
It might still be winter in Minnesota, but spring is in the air for folks who lined up at the Dairy Queen in Morehead, Minnesota for their annual opening. Did you see this? The event is a community tradition, no matter what the weather.
Chick McGee
Oh, tell me about this. Leave anything out.
Christy Lee
Heritage store has operated for 77 years. Chicken.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Christy Lee
And people bundled up in coats, hats and gloves and freezing cold to line up Sunday for ice cream treats.
Tom Griswold
I went to DQ on Friday night with the. It was. We were watching some movie and Hart comes in and she goes, daddy, can we go to Dairy Queen? And I said, no, it's 9:15. They're closed. No, they're not. They're open till 10. I checked. This is the problem with the Internet.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Christy Lee
Was that Hart?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah, there's. It's a wonderful. It's a great dq. Great people, right on it.
Christy Lee
So I know which one you're talking about.
Josh Arnold
What'd you get?
Tom Griswold
I got a vanilla cone.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Chick McGee
All right.
Josh Arnold
Oh, a vanilla cone.
Tom Griswold
I regret. And I should have gotten a call.
Chick McGee
Why would you get anything? As long as the Buster Bar continues to exist, why would you get anything but that? When you go to the dairy bar,
Tom Griswold
I get a nice vanilla cone. Although we were talking earlier, I would like to get those ones where they dip it in chocolate. Again.
Christy Lee
That's called a dipped cone.
Chick McGee
Dilly bars are low rent.
Christy Lee
No, they're not.
Chick McGee
Buster bars are amazing.
Josh Arnold
All right, now are you talking the peanut Buster parfait.
Chick McGee
No, no. There's a Buster bar there. Yes. There's chocolate and peanuts and then ice cream and chocolate and peanuts. And they dunk it in chocolate. Oh, yeah.
Josh Arnold
That sounds amazing.
Chick McGee
I don't get.
Tom Griswold
I don't get you.
Christy Lee
What's heart's go to for Dairy Queen? She gets the blizzard, right?
Tom Griswold
Eminem Blizzard.
Josh Arnold
Oh, fine choice.
Christy Lee
Good choice.
Tom Griswold
And I wasn't. They just. They. The girls wanted to order. They were in the back seat. So I. It's a drive thru.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they wanted to shout.
Tom Griswold
Yes. And so I wasn't really paying attention.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
And they got the gigantic size. So when I got home, they walk in and Kelly goes, what is that
Josh Arnold

Josh Arnold
That's awesome.
Tom Griswold
Blizzards. And they. They always turn it upside down. The whole deal. They. They give them the whole show. Supposed to get. You're supposed to get the mini.

Chick McGee
Why even effing bother?
Tom Griswold
No, this thing is the size of a bucket, you know, with the.
Christy Lee
Yeah, the big one's big.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Delightful. But yeah. So Dairy Queen, they have. It's a special. Where's this place?
Christy Lee
This is in Morehead, Minnesota. It's a very special day. It's like, you know, spring is around the corner and everybody lines up. I think it's a really cute.
Tom Griswold
I love Dairy Queen.
Christy Lee
I love the Dairy Queens that are like that. That kind of close in the winter because they're very regional and very family
Tom Griswold
and mom and I'm not in favor of that. I think they should be open 24 hours a day.
Chick McGee
It brings us all closer.
Tom Griswold
Can you imagine if you're dry? I'm driving into work at three in the morning and I'm gonna go get a Dairy Queen.
Chick McGee
You know, urban unrest wouldn't have been bad at all. Would have opened and we could have gone.
Josh Arnold
That's right.
Christy Lee
Covid killed the 24 hour everything. Thanks, Covet.
Tom Griswold
That's right.
Josh Arnold
Covid also killed a lot of people.
Christy Lee
All right.
Pat Godwin
I didn't mean to video the radio.
Josh Arnold
You can say all you want about the 24 hour.
Tom Griswold
Yes. Yeah. I miss my friends, but not as much as I miss a Dilly Bar.
Josh Arnold
An alarming amount.
Tom Griswold
Hey, Glattus, we were talking about your dead husband today, but it's funny story.
Josh Arnold
We know, we know.
Tom Griswold
It just. It just sound.
Josh Arnold
Let us not forget Covid Killed a lot of ice.
Chick McGee
Put a name on.
Tom Griswold
I usually like going to Kroger on my way into work at 3 in the morning. I'll just stop by and visit the cemetery tomorrow. Well, look what you've done, Christy. I'll let you redeem yourself by talking about your favorite car. You've got that Hyundai.
Christy Lee
Yes, I do. I have a Tucson hybrid and I love it, especially this morning. Check local listings. I was able to put it in the snow mode and get to work safely. And they also have the Santa Fe or Santa Fe hybrid. Hybrid. And don't forget Hyundai's bold and a stylish Elantra that's loaded with the latest tech. And then their go to electric cars, the Ionic 5 and the Ionic 9. Those cars are so cool and literally when you're in them, you feel like you're floating on air. And you also may be like in a Tron movie. So futuristic.
Tom Griswold
And if you're poetic, they have the, the Ionic pentameter.
Christy Lee
Oh my God. And don't forget the beautiful stuff.
Tom Griswold
It's got five wheels, seven passenger Palisade.
Christy Lee
Right now the Hyundai getaway sales event is going on. So check it out. You get great deals on their most popular models. Get down to your local Hyundai dealer and get away with a deal you'll love during the Hyundai Getaway sales event. Visit HyundaiUSA.com for details. That's Hyundai USA.com if you're a family
Tom Griswold
man, you want to get that Hyundai Palisade hybrid that's got no cleats on the seats because it's got those captain's chairs for the back seats. Then the way back you can stow three there, two in the back and then a passenger complaining about your driving next to you. When we come back, are we going
Christy Lee
to talk about that?
Tom Griswold
Talk about complaint. What people hate when they're in their car and there's someone. What is someone else doing in your car while you're driving? I've got a lot of complaints about this. We'll get to them. Oh, boy, do I ever. Yikes. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Tom Griswold
Freddy's bo is stronger than dirt. Okay, Sorry.
Josh Arnold
You sure bullied your buddy.
Tom Griswold
I didn't start it.
Chick McGee
I think you did. I think you might have been not only a bully, you might have been king bully when you went to school.
Tom Griswold
No, not at all.
Christy Lee
No, he was the bullied.
Tom Griswold
That was the.
Christy Lee
That's why you're a bully now.
Tom Griswold
It was the slogan, freddy's bo is stronger than. Than dirt. There's a great door song that ends with the stronger than dirt.
Chick McGee
Who came up with that? Who came up with that?
Tom Griswold
Well, at the time, there was a. A jingle. I don't know if they still use it.
Chick McGee
Well, if it was Mr. Clean or who was stronger than that.
Josh Arnold
Was it the scrub and bubbles?
Chick McGee
No. Okay.
Tom Griswold
No, those were. Those were a much later development.
Josh Arnold
Okay, great guess, but no, I like those scrub bubbles.
Christy Lee
Who didn't? They were cute.
Chick McGee
I like. You know what I like? Mr. Bubble.
Christy Lee
Oh, we grew up with Mr.
Josh Arnold
Bubble.
Christy Lee
Did you have Mr. Bubble as a kid?
Josh Arnold
No, I. I've seen the old. Like a vintage.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Thing because you guys were talking about
Christy Lee
that was a big deal for us to get Mr. Bubble and not use Ivory soap.
Chick McGee
Ajax stronger than dirt.
Josh Arnold
Ah, okay.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Laundry detergent and cleanser.
Tom Griswold
Ajax is stronger than dirt. At the end of which door song is it?
Chick McGee
Touch Me.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Oh, that was Ajax with the white knight around the white horse and the big glance and there would be a dirty thing and zap it.
Tom Griswold
And then we heard last week there was a news release that Mr. Clean is being retired. I. Very skeptical.
Christy Lee
Okay, well, we'll keep an eye on that.
Chick McGee
Boy, that doesn't sound old at all.
Christy Lee
Yikes.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Christy Lee
That hurts your ears.
Tom Griswold
Did you.
Christy Lee
Did you hear that?
Tom Griswold
What? Yeah, that's just an old recording.
Josh Arnold
Sure.
Chick McGee
I don't know if it was an accurate recording of how it sounded then. And it's old.
Justin Scott
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't know if they're. Are they still using that slogan?
Chick McGee
I don't know. I don't even know if it exists as a laundry detergent.
Tom Griswold
Ajax.
Christy Lee
Ajax.
Chick McGee
Yeah, it does.
Tom Griswold
Absolutely.
Christy Lee
As a laundry detergent.
Chick McGee
How do you know?
Tom Griswold
Oh, I have it as a. I have the powder cleanser, like Comet.
Christy Lee
Ajax. Comet.
Tom Griswold
I would imagine they still make the laundry detergent. What brand do you use?
Chick McGee
Tide. I'm a Tide. I'm a Tide pod guy. I do my clothes in Thai.
Tom Griswold
Do you?
Chick McGee
Why? It's too cold to do them out. Ty. Thank you very much. You know, I don't. Jokes and I don't get along. You know that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I do that because my mom used Tide. Now do we have time to do this car thing?
Christy Lee
I don't know. Do we? Do I just do it?
Chick McGee
Do it.
Tom Griswold
Well, I do something else. We'll save it for tomorrow.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Chick McGee
You know what? We do have time to hear Ben Gardner.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Chick McGee
Hoffy enhanced it one more time. Ben
Tom Griswold
Gardner.
Josh Arnold
Don't eat it. Christy.
Christy Lee
Sorry. Something in front of me and. Yeah. A growing number of Americans are pressing pause on their careers for what's being called an adult gap year. Have you heard about this?
Josh Arnold
Oh, I don't. If I could talk to the person.
Tom Griswold
Gap decade.
Chick McGee
They're going, you know, there's going to be, there's going to be lots of gaps in your life.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Why take one specifically to nevermind.
Christy Lee
Some step away after layoffs or burnout while others use the time to travel, launch passion projects or explore new career paths.
Tom Griswold
How do they get the money?
Christy Lee
Thank you. Researchers from the University of Washington identifies three main types working holidays focused on projects, free dives that mix adventure with rest and deeper quests taken after burnout to reassess life goals. Some workers are even negotiating many sabbaticals as a long term lifestyle. Tom, could I talk to you?
Tom Griswold
No.
Christy Lee
Supporters, including leaders at Harvard Business School, argue structured sabbaticals can help employers recruit, retain and recharge talented employees.
Josh Arnold
Okay, but a year, that's a long time.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I don't, I don't know. You'd have to have a very specific type of job where that's okay. Okay.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Take a year off.
Tom Griswold
Better have an independent income to do whatever you want. What would you do if you had nothing to do for a year?
Chick McGee
I'm kind of doing that now.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Sorry. Yeah.
Chick McGee
What do you want? You ask the wrong guy.
Christy Lee
Wait a minute.
Tom Griswold
What would you do differently?
Chick McGee
I can't think of it. I wouldn't get up as early and come in and do nothing to. I go anywhere and do nothing. What?
Tom Griswold
Okay, very good.
Chick McGee
That's kind of my job. Now.
Tom Griswold
Tomorrow we're going to talk about things that annoy you when you're driving your car and there are other people, people in it and what they are doing to you or saying to you or dropping on your nice clean seats in your automobile, etc. Etc. We'll get to all that tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Episode: March 2, 2026
Host(s): Tom Griswold, Chick McGee, Josh Arnold, Christy Lee, Pat Godwin, Ace Cosby
This episode of The BOB & TOM Show delivers the show's trademark mix of offbeat humor, personal banter, listener letters, sports talk, and strange news stories. The crew kicks off with Pat Godwin's underwhelming $3 birthday cake, digresses through topics both mundane and bizarre (from Hobby Lobby trips to micro phallus awareness), tackles sports oddities (NFL Combine standout mullets, scoreboard failures), and features a lively interview with a professional radio tower climber. Quirky musical interludes, escalating innuendo, and listener correspondence add layers to the lively, conversational style the show is known for.
Pat receives a store-bought, minimalist chocolate cake instead of the usual custom treat; much ribbing ensues over the cake's lack of effort and low cost.
