[Tom Griswold]

Start filing today in the Credit Karma app. It's the bob and tom show.

[Mr. Obvious]

Hey ho, everyone. This is the Mr. Obvious Show. I'm your host, Mr. Obvious. As always, I'm here to help you, the listener, with your problems, big or small. Let's go right to the old telephones. Hello, Mr. Obvious?

[Caller]

Is this Mr. Obvious?

[Mr. Obvious]

Speaking.

[Caller]

Hi, Mr. Obvious, longtime listener, first time caller. Let me just start by saying I really Love your show, Mr. Obvious.

[Mr. Obvious]

Well, that's just grand and thank you for calling, sir.

[Jim Brewer]

I appreciate it.

[Caller]

No, wait, Mr. Obvious?

[Mr. Obvious]

Yes.

[Caller]

Yeah, I've got a problem I wanted to talk to you about.

[Mr. Obvious]

Of course, that's why I'm here, caller, go ahead with your question.

[Caller]

Well, for several years now, my wife and I have been saving our money because we wanted to build a deck right off our living room there in the back of the house.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh, that is lovely. Nothing like a nice deck.

[Caller]

Oh yeah, well, we've been skipping and saving. Finally saved enough so that we could afford to have that deck.

[Mr. Obvious]

Wow. My congratulations to you caller. Once again, appreciates the fun.

[Caller]

No, here's, here's the problem. Even though I'm pretty handy, I figured it's too big a job for me. So. Well, I took your advice, Mr. Obvious. Always call a professional. So I called some local contractors and had them come out and give me some estimates.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh, estimates, estimates, estimates, estimates. That's always a very good idea. One of my Mr. Obvious rules to live by.

[Caller]

I thought so, Mr. Obvious. Well, we picked a guy to do the work and he really seemed to know his stuff and he promised to get started right away.

[Mr. Obvious]

Sounds like a self starter, a real go getter.

[Caller]

Well, sure, that's what I thought, but now I'm not so sure. And I think we may have made a mistake.

[Mr. Obvious]

Well, why is that, caller? What makes you say that?

[Caller]

Well, it's been several weeks now, and we still don't have a deck. I'm beginning to think this guy is incompetent.

[Mr. Obvious]

Well, now, caller, have you talked to your contractor about your feelings?

[Caller]

Well, I tried to. I came home early the other day, talked to him, and his truck was in the driveway. I couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, I went inside, and that's when I heard some noises coming from the bedroom.

[Mr. Obvious]

The bedroom? That seems like an odd place to be working on your decks.

[Caller]

Well, yeah, that's what I thought was obvious. Well, I went upstairs, and there was the contractor. All right. And he was. Well, he was naked.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh my goodness. Not even wearing safety goggles. Huh. Now that sounds dangerous.

[Caller]

Well, yeah, Mr. Ives. And here's the weird part. He was laying on top of my wife.

[Josh Arnold]

Uh. Oh.

[Mr. Obvious]

Now, was she naked, too?

[Caller]

Naked as a jaybird, Mr. Obvious. As you can imagine, I got pretty mad.

[Mr. Obvious]

Certainly. Yeah.

[Caller]

Well, I mean, since he was so far behind schedule already, I asked him what the heck was going on.

[Mr. Obvious]

Caller, you're certainly within your rights, seeing

[Josh Arnold]

how he works for you.

[Mr. Obvious]

Collar. Is he being paid hourly or by the job?

[Caller]

By the job.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh, that's fortunate for you. That way you don't pay while he plays. Of course. That's one of those Mr. Obvious rules to live by.

[Caller]

Give that a write on, Mr. Obvious. Anyway, Mr. Obvious, my contractor explains that he's lost his tape measure and he's too, trying to find out how tall my wife is so he can have her lay down beside the board. So he's gonna cut.

[Mr. Obvious]

Did you ask why they were naked at all? Did that come up or.

[Caller]

Geez, Mr. Obvious, I figured you'd know this. You can't get an accurate reading off somebody's height when they're wearing clothes. Even I know that.

[Mr. Obvious]

I'm sorry.

[Caller]

They're hot. They're. Maybe it's her weight. Anyway, whatever. Well, the more I think about it, the madder I get. I feel like I should fire the guy.

[Mr. Obvious]

Well, I can certainly see that that would be within your rights.

[Caller]

And then just last week, I found him naked on top of my sister when he lost his plumb bob.

[Mr. Obvious]

That is unfortunate.

[Caller]

Exactly. I mean, what kind of contractor is that careless with his tools? I mean, if he keeps losing him, I may never get my deck finished.

[Mr. Obvious]

Alcohol. I don't want to get too, but I'm afraid what's happening here is that your Contractor. Now, follow me on this. Your contractor is having an illicit affair.

[Caller]

Ooh, an affair. Like sex. You know, when he's. He's married. He's having sex with somebody else?

[Mr. Obvious]

I think so.

[Caller]

Who do you think it is?

[Mr. Obvious]

I think it's with your wife caller, and evidently with your sister, too, once.

[Caller]

So these. These stories about him losing his tape measure and his plumb Bob.

[Tom Griswold]

Mr.

[Caller]

Obvious, you think he just made those up?

[Mr. Obvious]

That'd be my guest caller.

[Caller]

I never made the connection. But what you're saying is he may still be a good contractor?

[Mr. Obvious]

Well, actually, I. I guess he could be.

[Caller]

So, Mr. Ives, you're saying. Maybe I was. I was being a little hasty. Boy, is my face red. I feel like a real schmo.

[Mr. Obvious]

No, no, call her.

[Jim Brewer]

Don.

[Mr. Obvious]

Be. Don't be so hard on yourself. That sort of thing happens when we. We jump to conclusions without having all the facts.

[Caller]

Mr. Obvious, you're a lifesaver.

[Mr. Obvious]

That's. That's nice of you to say. And. And thanks for calling. Well, join us next time on the Mr. Obvious Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, look who's here, you guys. Where have. What show is it? That's right. It's the Bob and Tom show. By the way, I may have forgotten to do how to do radio. There is. Not that I ever did know. There's Jess Hooker.

[Jess Hooker]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie [e-mail] sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

Good morning, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Good morning. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I am Josh Arnold, fresh off a week of gastrointestinal nightmares. And there's Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm okay. Doing great.

[Josh Arnold]

Good. I'm glad. You and I had a very nice chat yesterday, and I was happy to hear you were doing so well while

[Tom Griswold]

I was right in the middle of it. All of a sudden you hear all this rustling. The short version is I went for a very long walk with my two dogs, and about halfway through, I bagged up some of their business. I didn't want to be carrying it around for the extra two miles, so. Well, you know something? I'll just stow it. And I kind of heaved it into a slat. Wooded area on my way back. I would. I gotta get this. I didn't realize I'd. I'd buried it back in. So if you're wondering what that was. Now, this is an unusual version of the show. I'm very pleased that any of us are still here. Chicks out. Godwin came in this morning. He's sick.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

So I sent him home because I couldn't stand the whining. So anyways, we got a quorum. We're ready to fight.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up today, comedian Jim Brewer, a guy who always looks stoned but is sober. Yes, he's got those eye things. Looking forward to talking with Jim. And comedian Greg Warren, one of our favorites. Haven't talked to Greg for a while. And the other day, Greg's been doing a lot of stuff with Nate Bargazzi.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I think, you know you've made it in life when your name is the answer to a clue in the New York Times crossword puzzle. And that was Nate.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

A couple weeks ago. Pretty cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And Greg is an avid crossword puzzle. He and I have crossword puzzles and iced tea in common. And so I sent it to him, said, look what happened to your boss. How cool is that? So, Josh, actually, our first letter, Josh, involves your ailment.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I understand you have diverticulitis.

[Josh Arnold]

I do.

[Tom Griswold]

And by the way, your diet, you were telling me yesterday on the phone, your diet for the last several weeks has consisted of what?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, very low fiber. Because I had the first bout of diverticulitis a month ago, was hospitalized, and then I had what I guess is now considered smoldering diverticulitis, which makes it sound sexy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Have you seen her eyes? They're smoldering. So are her bodies.

[Willie Griswold]

As a medical adjective, smoldering is never good.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no. And it came. So it came back with a vengeance last week. I've been on a clear liquid diet for seven days. I haven't. My body hasn't seen a nutrient or mineral in seven days. My brain is barely functioning.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you can't even have, like, a power bar or.

[Josh Arnold]

We're getting there. I think, today. What?

[Willie Griswold]

Can you have, like a shake or.

[Josh Arnold]

I can have bone broth. Nice Jello.

[Willie Griswold]

Great.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, see, and that's about it. I did mention this to Josh. This may be from the way I was raised. I hate jello. I'm not a fan either, because my mother. For dessert, every once in a while, instead of, like, real dessert, we'd have jello with bananas in it.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't mind it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, just.

[Josh Arnold]

We used to have bananas and grapes.

[Jess Hooker]

Kind of like the fruit cocktail.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So when I was recovering from open heart surgery, as hungry as I may have been, I passed on the jello. Yeah, it's just one of those things.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. I grew up in a, like, weight loss. Like, everything was low fat when we were kids. And so jello was the go to. So as a teenager, it's like, oh, we would just eat jello packs all the time. The sugar free ones. We won't gain any weight. That's what we would do. Like the month before spring break,

[Tom Griswold]

I

[Willie Griswold]

remember chugging, like, slim fast chocolates that I found in the pantry.

[Jess Hooker]

My dad bought those for us.

[Willie Griswold]

Being like, these things must be so healthy. And drinking eight of them before.

[Tom Griswold]

Before bed.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm about to be jacked tomorrow.

[Tom Griswold]

I will say this to the jello people. I do love jello pudding.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I do, too.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Not the instant, the kind you make yourself.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The heat. No, that's very, very good. So bone broth, huh? Can you. Can you have coffee or tea or anything?

[Josh Arnold]

I can, yeah. Yeah. I. I haven't had caffeine in a week.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's okay. I've had enough. Ready.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll just send the vibes your way.

[Jess Hooker]

Have you just been sleeping?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I've been. I've been watching a lot of mindfulness videos on, essentially on how not to spiral into complete madness and doing, like, these weird, like these hypnotherapy things of just, dude, relax, because your life isn't over. I mean, it's been.

[Willie Griswold]

Is it just like. Like, you are okay? Everything's fine, Josh. Like, is that Mari or.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, you are. You're into the opening of a forest, and as you walk through the branches or you move them away, much like your digestive system moves things smoothly, then

[Tom Griswold]

if it were accurate, it would go. And by the way, Josh, you know Tom's favorite story about your father? He was a Vietnam War combat veteran, two tours of duty, and when he wiped away the vines one day, he said he realized after a few minutes some of the vines were giant snakes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, yes. And by the way, he's.

[Tom Griswold]

The terror will continue.

[Josh Arnold]

He's now up in heaven looking at his pussy son watching hypnotherapy videos and going, what did I raise?

[Tom Griswold]

Have you been considered going to a hypnotist?

[Josh Arnold]

Not. Not a full fledged hypnotist. No, no. This is sort of the micro dosing of hypnotism.

[Jess Hooker]

Is it working?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I'm only on, like, day eight.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

So it's very relaxing. And what's the goal to cheeseburger? To just chill out.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Get my vagus nerve relaxed.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

So that my gut is more relaxed.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay, guys.

[Tom Griswold]

I suppose you probably can't watch network television because every commercial is about delicious food you can eat.

[Josh Arnold]

It's 90%.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Like I didn't real. You don't realize how much it really is about. No wonder we're all fat. You know, obviously we're not all fat, but so many. I mean, it is. We are inundated.

[Tom Griswold]

I had that thought.

[Josh Arnold]

I cannot escape it.

[Willie Griswold]

The other day, I ate ice cream and I said, it's a miracle I don't eat this every hour of every day. And just like, not even, like really great ice cream. Just any ice cream you can find at the gas station.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember as a kid thinking that's what you were going to do?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

This is what I'll eat for every

[Tom Griswold]

meal if I win the lottery. Dairy Queen breakfast, lunch. I'll have a Dairy Queen at my house.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I'm on the mend. The tailspin has been corrected, so.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And our first letter, which we'll get to in a few minutes, does mention diverticulitis. Okay, once again, Jim Brewer, Greg Warren coming up. Also, I want to talk about our car girl, Christy Lee. She'll be back. If the gods of the airlines are with us, she'll be back tomorrow. Yes, but she was helping out some with some family issues down south. But she's going to return. But when she gets here, she'll be driving her Hyundai. And as you know, Christie's a car girl. She has had. When I first met her years ago, she was getting a new car every year. And I'm not sure how she did that on her salary. There were a lot of men in her life. She's a big car girl. And currently for the last two years, which breaks a record for her keeping it. She's a Hyundai girl. And Hyundai has their getaway sales event up and running. They call it the getaway sales event because you'll get away with a deal. That is so right, it almost feels wrong. You can get great deals on Hyundai's most popular models, including the adventure ready SUVs like the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Santa Fe hybrid, and the Tucson. That's what Christy Lee drives. And the Tucson. I'm sorry, she drives the Tucson Hybrid. I forgot about that. We should point out Christie lives practically in a different state and that's very important for her to get good gas mileage or she'd have to stop on her way here every morning. The Hyundai bold and stylish Elantra. Also the all electric Ionic 5 and the Ionic 9. So get down to your local Hyundai dealer. Get away with a deal you'll love during the Hyundai getaway sales event. More information Hyundai USA.com and that's H Y U N D A I Hyundai USA.com coming up, a lot of exciting things in the world of news and sports. Big upset at NCAA men's college basketball. We'll get to that. Also, if a family member is recently deceased, a new place to put their cremated remains that has kind of a musical feel. We have a sperm donation in the news and a cool world record and a great version of the, of the idea of a scarecrow that involves dressing up humans. It's quite interesting. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Jess Hooker at the news desk.

[Jess Hooker]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Willy [e-mail] sports desk. Hey, Ace Cosby across the way.

[Willie Griswold]

Howdy.

[Josh Arnold]

I am Josh Arnold. And there he is, Tommy Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, it's unusual to see Josh here.

[Josh Arnold]

It has been a, it's been a tough season health wise.

[Tom Griswold]

You got something called diverticulitis. And our first letter just by chance mentions that. Okay, you've been treating it by. What is it? You can eat bone broth and what else?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, jello. You can have popsicles and some juices and. But I'm staying away because the sugars and popsicles and juices mess up my stomach. So.

[Greg Warren]

Yay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have any bowel function? I mean, are you.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, it's so minimal, but you're

[Tom Griswold]

saving on toilet paper.

[Josh Arnold]

But incredibly frequent. Isn't that fun?

[Tom Griswold]

So it's like, it's like Pat's great joke. Yeah. The song Wasn't funny, but at least it was long.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, but I think that has more to do with the antibiotics.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Greg Warren]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Very complicated. This is a nice letter here from Tammy.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi, Tammy.

[Tom Griswold]

Tammy's kind enough to say I grew up in Hartwell, Ohio. My grandpa worked at a bourbon distillery right down the street. I grew up with that smell and I loved it. In the town over was a flavoring company. The only flavor that was super strong was butterscotch. In the days they made butterscotch, it mixed with bourbon and the smell was glorious.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Jess Hooker]

I bet.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I was hoping this letter would end with the addiction to some bourbon and butterscotch drink. No, but she goes. Diverticulitis really sucks. My husband has it. Gets flare ups. He had to learn what not to eat to prevent him from more hospital visits. So good luck, Josh, with your future diet.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Now you'll be able to eat normal food at some point, I hope.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now this is a somewhat. Maybe serendipitous is the word I'm looking for. Dear Robin, Tom show writes Al. My daughter shoved a toy up her nose yesterday. I've been a member of the Morning Breath Club, the secret society of this show. And I knew exactly what to do. My wife called me frantically. I explained the Tom and Young Willie procedure. Shortly thereafter, I received a text saying, got it.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I am now viewed as a genius. Cool. If you never was. If you never heard this story, Little Willie, happy to help.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You shoved a blueberry up your nose.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. Made him taste better. I know, I know. But you're dealing with a four year old. You're dealing with a lunatic.

[Josh Arnold]

But that was the reason.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. It made him salty.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I know, man. It's gross.

[Tom Griswold]

So the idea would be shove the blueberry up your nose, then pull it out and then eat it.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. Again, it's.

[Josh Arnold]

I. I don't.

[Willie Griswold]

I can't.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you're a kid.

[Willie Griswold]

I can't justify it.

[Jess Hooker]

No, we get it.

[Willie Griswold]

It's weird. You look. You like, look at me like. I can explain why this is.

[Jess Hooker]

A lot of kids do it.

[Tom Griswold]

So I called a friend of mine who was Dr. E.R. doc, and he. I said, what do I do? So I took little Willie, put him on the kitchen island, and because it's a closed system, he explained to me, you, you cut off the nostril on this side, the non blueberry side, and then a blow in his mouth and by God, that blueberry shot out of his nose and my dog Elvis ate it.

[Josh Arnold]

What a scene.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, Elvis Got it. Elvis.

[Josh Arnold]

Understood.

[Willie Griswold]

They taste better once they go in the nose, man.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, marinade for you, beautiful golden retriever. Miss you, Elvis. Wish you were still here. By the way, Ms. Hooker, how do people write letters to us? What's the procedure?

[Jess Hooker]

You go to bobandtom.com or you can just go to bob and tom.com obandtom.com.

[Josh Arnold]

yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Address.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's right there.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it's all right there.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm guessing last week you guys discussed bathroom graffiti in schools.

[Jess Hooker]

We wondered if they still do it now that social media has kind of taken over all those old school type things.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. So kids have their phones in the bathrooms now as opposed to.

[Jess Hooker]

They just posted on Snapchat.

[Josh Arnold]

Kevin from Fort Madison writes in. As a school custodian, I can assure you it still happens. Not a day goes by that I don't have to clean up markings from pens, pencils, or markers. I'm certainly grateful for magic erasers, which is alien technology, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

But, you know, those are great.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now.

[Josh Arnold]

And God bless you to all the custodians out there.

[Tom Griswold]

The other aspect of this was with. With contemporary phone technology has this cut back on the carved penises into the wooden desks because. Yeah, because anyway. Because it's hard for enough for a teacher to compete with a cell phone.

[Josh Arnold]

We.

[Tom Griswold]

When I was a kid, they couldn't compete with me looking out the window.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. We rarely had wooden desks. They were all kind of this stuff.

[Jess Hooker]

Whatever.

[Josh Arnold]

This. Yeah. They were all. I think, because of the carving issue.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You have to wonder if there's some amazing sculptor who developed his bas relief skills on a wooden desk.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, I remember because in my older schools, like when I was younger, they were older schools, and. Yeah, I saw a couple mean AC DCS and.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Must have been a really boring class. They got the logo right.

[Josh Arnold]

Whatever that s. Is that sort of like.

[Willie Griswold]

I love that thing. Yeah. The three lines and you connect them.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Jess Hooker]

S. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't we determine recently we. What rock and roll tattoo was most?

[Josh Arnold]

Stones was number one, I believe.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, yeah, the stones, lips and tongue.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. And then Pink Floyd. And then.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, the prism.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then AC dc. No.

[Josh Arnold]

And then Lisa Loeb.

[Willie Griswold]

Isn't that interesting?

[Josh Arnold]

Number four.

[Jess Hooker]

She's so pretty.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The. Just. When we went off the air on Friday, we got the sad news that Chuck Norris passed away.

[Josh Arnold]

I watched one of his movies over the weekend, the Hero and the Terror.

[Willie Griswold]

How was it?

[Josh Arnold]

Fun. Yeah, yeah. Holds up. He was the hero and Boy, he had to fight a terror.

[Tom Griswold]

He started off the bad guy kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. Like a Bruce Lee.

[Tom Griswold]

Bruce Lee kicked his ass. But, yeah, Chuck Norris. I. I'm a huge fan of the Chuck Norris jokes, the memes. And apparently Mr. Norris was the fan. All a fan. Also, there are a couple of them he actually performed.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

He's on tape doing a couple of them. But we have our first post. What a breathing Chuck Norris.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you mispronounced last.

[Tom Griswold]

Only Jerry writes, chuck Norris dug his own grave after he had died.

[Josh Arnold]

No, look, I mean, I. You know what? I applaud it in that. It sounds like that's. That's an original that he wrote. So anybody who puts pen to paper is fine with me.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I have one from Lou. Chuck Norris actually died 20 years ago, but death has only just built up enough courage to let him know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's not bad.

[Willie Griswold]

It's hard to react to it because.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I know. That's the reaction you get.

[Willie Griswold]

The man is dead. So it's. It's hard to, like, cheer for that. We are sad.

[Tom Griswold]

I did notice if I think one of his.

[Josh Arnold]

My dad was so tough. I got the eulogy.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If you look, here's how tough. Look through the pictures of Mr. Norris over the years.

[Jim Brewer]

He.

[Tom Griswold]

The biggest mistake he made was going with the jet black toupees. That just looks so fake.

[Josh Arnold]

Right up your alley.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, you're in your 80s. You don't have the Elvis. They.

[Jess Hooker]

I didn't know he was 87. He didn't look 87.

[Tom Griswold]

He just did a video last week.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

It's got to be tough for those guys whose whole image is their image, and then they have to sort of age.

[Jim Brewer]

It's.

[Willie Griswold]

It's not very masculine to age.

[Tom Griswold]

At least Burt Reynolds would. His toupees got better.

[Jess Hooker]

Got salt and pepper, like. Yeah, he kind of. Yeah, yeah. How did. How did Chuck Norris die?

[Tom Griswold]

They haven't said. They just said he passed suddenly. That's what the obituary said.

[Josh Arnold]

But he didn't die. Died, die. Chuck Norris. All right. I didn't try as hard.

[Jess Hooker]

It's all right.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Chuck Norris died. He briefly woke up. Oh, this is funny. This is from Kevin. He writes in. He's from Winchester. He said, when Chuck Norris died, he briefly woke up, corrected an error on his death certificate, shook the doctor's hand and laid peacefully back down. Okay, we get.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I kind of like that one.

[Willie Griswold]

Good joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we'll see.

[Josh Arnold]

Shook the doctor's hand. Hey, look, I appreciate you doing everything you could.

[Willie Griswold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Listening to you guys talk about walk up music for car. Okay, Willie, I'll bring you up to speed, please.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And baseball. Walk up music.

[Josh Arnold]

Cool.

[Willie Griswold]

Always fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So we decided we would each have what our walk up music would be. And Ms. Hooker, do you want to tell Willie what yours was?

[Jess Hooker]

Last Resort by Papa Roach.

[Willie Griswold]

Great. So fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, it's. It's tough. It is kind of marching feel.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Immediate. It's right out of the gate.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. And Josh, yours was.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you know, I don't think we said. But I would go with right now by corn.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you should hear it. Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Will, have you ever given any thought

[Willie Griswold]

when I on stage, I walk out to Queen, I walk out to Tear it up by Queen. That's a fun one.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Really high energy.

[Mr. Obvious]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

That are. I'm Real, Ja Rule and Jennifer Lopez.

[Jess Hooker]

That's so good.

[Willie Griswold]

It starts with what's my MF and name.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

And then, you know, I'm walking on say Joe. It's Willie. That's my mf. It's a real fun one.

[Tom Griswold]

So this isn't for your kids shows?

[Willie Griswold]

No, it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. But I was wondering that if I'm sure this technology exists. When I walk up to my car, it automatically unlocks and the lights pop on. Okay. Which I think a lot of cars do now.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Not. Not exclusive to mine, it means. But it also turns the radio on.

[Mr. Obvious]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

So I was thinking, could you have an external speaker installed so when you got, say 50ft from your car, it would start playing your walk up music, which would be great for me because then I could find it in the Target parking lot. Just last week at the gym, I got into the wrong car. He's a menace.

[Willie Griswold]

Does that happen to you like once a year?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, it's happened twice in the last month.

[Josh Arnold]

That's.

[Willie Griswold]

You got to get those numbers down. That's crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

I knew it wasn't my car because it had a. Had a. The shifter was like a stick thing sticking up. My car has this weird dial.

[Willie Griswold]

The last time you did this, you said you got in the car, you saw a pack of cigarettes. You go, wait a second, I don't smoke.

[Tom Griswold]

That's how long that was. That was. I was in a rental car. I got in the car and I could smell it right away. Wait a minute, I don't smoke. But it would be really cool to have walk up music to your car. I thought, yeah, here's a different idea. Ross writes talking about walk up music for your cars. What if you had walk up music for the toilet? Huh?

[Jess Hooker]

First thing in the morning.

[Josh Arnold]

Ross, you really got time with this?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Can you imagine you open the bathroom door and all of a sudden ba ba ba da da da da da.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, so what would your walk up music be for the toilet?

[Tom Griswold]

I just saw this letter. I have to think about.

[Jess Hooker]

NBA game.

[Josh Arnold]

You all ready for this?

[Tom Griswold]

And lately, Josh, it'd be going off quite often at your house. Wow. Well, I really feel. Can you have any snacks at all today?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm hoping today is the day. I mean I. It cannot be good to not eat for seven days. I mean I know there are fasts out there.

[Jess Hooker]

A lot of people.

[Josh Arnold]

You can't take a guy, you can't take a 270 pound guy and not feed him for a week.

[Jess Hooker]

You haven't had any clarity like mentally.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I've. It's. I've been a shaky mess. Oh, I'm sorry. So probably I didn't hear something. I'm sure my doctor went. By the way make sure you take multivitamins and I'm not. I have no idea.

[Tom Griswold]

Like a protein drink. And also by the way they have too much fiber.

[Josh Arnold]

There are varying opinions on all of them this so whatever's. You know, talk to your doctors of course but with mine they said hold off protein drinks.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you spell diverticulitis? Because I'm sure I can't.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I've googled it. 97,000.

[Tom Griswold]

You downloaded the app?

[Josh Arnold]

I do have. I do have an app.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of the app, we have a brand new Bob and Tom app. It's been upgraded as has our website. So it's. You might want to check that out. A couple things going on. First of all your brackets probably busted. I know. I think ESPN's down to zero right the there was and get one huge upset just over the weekend. So if your bracket is busted, take heart. Our friends at Orange Insoles have a new 4K TV. For all of those of you with a busted bracket, you now have an opportunity to win that visit bobandtom.comcontest to get the details once again courtesy of Orange Insoles. We certainly appreciate their support during men's college basketball. Also I want to say kind of a special invitation I guess. We're going to be doing this show from Smoke justice which is a cool restaurant in Covington, Kentucky right across the river from Cincinnati in honor of the Cincinnati Reds opening day which happens to be this Thursday. So this show will be coming to you from there courtesy of Lee's Famous recipe chicken. And we already have a T shirt that we've put up on our pop up shop. And I mention it because it's kind of a tribute to opening day. It's got a secret code on it.

[Jess Hooker]

We have the new one, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and the revised version. Yeah, there are two different versions of it now, because I liked one, then I let everybody else vote, which I normally don't do because I don't believe in democracy. And they all voted for the other one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, no kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

So I went with the one they all liked. And then chick on Friday goes, you know, I like the other one.

[Josh Arnold]

What? I voted for the other one, too. I was on your side.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what happened. So in any event, now they're both up there and there is a secret coded message on the shirt. And the interesting thing about the shirt is we're giving the money away.

[Jess Hooker]

We are?

[Tom Griswold]

What? Yeah, there's a cool charity out there called Brave Gowns, and it's a couple of ladies and they sew little, like, superhero pajamas for kids, kind of capes and stuff. So for kids in the hospital. And the Cincinnati Children's Hospital is one of the best in the world. And we'll be lucky to hand them a check, I'm hoping. And so if you want to get one of the shirts, great. If you don't, we've got a direct link. If you want to just make a donation to Brave Gowns, that'd be great too. We'll also bring some of the shirts with us to Cincinnati and we're gonna have a special commemorative poster that I'm desperately working on again today. That's really cool. I'm really pleased with it. So hope to see you in Cincinnati. It's open to the public and we always have a great time. We've got a bunch of cool guests coming on on Thursday. Willie, you're going to be there.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And at this point, with the way the. The sick bay is around here, I'm not sure who will be there.

[Josh Arnold]

We're all gonna come and be surprised.

[Tom Griswold]

We're all gonna try surprise, but we hope that you can be there. While I'm at it, real quick, I want to mention a show coming up this Saturday at the Ritz Theater in Tiffin, Ohio, with our own Jeff Oskay, our own Josh Arnold, and our own Castockiakonamopoulos.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's going to be a killer show this Saturday at the Ritz Theater in Tiffin, Ohio. Now, we have a bunch of stuff coming up in the World of sports. Willie G. Sitting in for the chickster@the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. And March Madness continues. And the Sweet 16 has been established. And there are some surprises in there right now. I want to remind you that for years I can't even put a date on this chick. Magee walked in here a couple houses ago and said, hey, I got this new security system. I installed it myself. It's called Simplisafe. We started talking to the Simplisafe people. In fact, we have Simplisafe right now in our building right here on the Bob and Tom Show. And Simplisafe has really grown over the years and they're very sophisticated. I'll tell you this. They've been voted number one in customer service by both Newsweek and USA Today. So SimpliSafe has certainly arrived. And now they've got something called active guard outdoor protection. They have a whole bunch of different ways you can use your Simplisafe. In this case, I'm talking about AI powered cameras that are backed up by professional monitoring agents. So if someone's lurking around or acting suspiciously on your property, those agents can see them and talk to them in real time and say, hey, the cops are on the way. They can even activate spotlights and like I said, contact the police. Is the term fuzz still hip?

[Jess Hooker]

I like it.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it too. It's not him calling the fuzz.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay? The what is it? The popo, the, the, the five zero. The. The authorities.

[Willie Griswold]

12.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the hard working police officers will come and get rid of those bad guys. So simply safe, no long term contracts, no cancellation fees. Over 4 million Simply Safe homes are out there right now and this place too. So they've got a 60 day money back guarantee. And once again named the best home security system by Newsweek and U.S. news World Report. So why wait? Right now the Bob and Tom show can offer you a special break. 50% off the new SimpliSafe system with professional monitoring. Go to simplisafetom.com Once again, simplisafetom.com there's no safe like Simplisafe. Coming up, we have sperm donation news. We have another critter with a head stuck in a jar. And we have sports with Willie G. On the way. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, thanks for listening this morning. Got something to say?

[Josh Arnold]

hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. There's Jess Hooker at the news desk today.

[Jess Hooker]

Hi, Joshy.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie Griswold across the way@the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. Hey, man, I have no doubt that you enjoyed some basketball.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah, man. It's hoobs season.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I was thinking something about that other days.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, hold on one second, please. Oh, wait, sorry. There's Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome back.

[Josh Arnold]

I thank you. I am Josh Arnold. We're all here in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios live. And there's Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

I was going to say on the radio, you were, you were gone most of last week. I was going to say, yeah, Josh just wanted to sit around watching basketball. But you're one of the only people that doesn't watch basketball at all.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you see any games?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, there are some guys that would like to have diverticulitis just so they could call the boss and say, sorry, can't come in. Then you can watch basketball all week.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. No, it's so it has started.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That I'm joking because obviously I said that you.

[Tom Griswold]

But it is down to the sweet 16. And Josh, if you're just joining, as Josh was saying that he really can't eat anything. And if you watched any basketball, most of the commercials are for food.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And boy, there's some delicious food out there. I'm not going to dwell on it.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, there are, there are some amazing sandwiches and pizzas.

[Tom Griswold]

I would go around the room, just discuss what great food we had this weekend as all start. We had, I had two sliders and I've got to, I got to make an amendment to my, the menu that I have declared. I've always contended that I do not like steak fries.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As Bob brilliantly pointed out, the steak fry, too much potato. But I did have a new kind of a semi steak fry at a place called Monterey on Friday. I'm, I'm not sure what they did to it, but seasoned well. I don't know. They were, they were like extra big and they were delightful. I sent my compliments to the chef and I'm sure the young lady didn't bother telling. Yeah, there's a weird old guy, I think, with his daughter having. Having. Having lunch. He complimented your fries. That's not my daughter, sir. That's Kelly.

[Josh Arnold]

These are Palm freaks,

[Tom Griswold]

but I. I may have to reevaluate. Steak fries.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I had steak fries last night.

[Josh Arnold]

I love them, girl.

[Jess Hooker]

Dinner last night, we had Caesar salad and French fries.

[Josh Arnold]

If anything, they just mean more ketchup. Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then at the last minute, I had homemade tacos on Saturday.

[Jess Hooker]

That's always nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Made by someone that knows what they're doing.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's always important.

[Tom Griswold]

Not me.

[Josh Arnold]

Sauce to hard shells.

[Tom Griswold]

Soft. Although I will say this. When I go to Taco Bell, I always get the hard shells.

[Willie Griswold]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I don't. I don't like the hard shells. Except at Taco Bell. Okay, so what we're doing is we're talking about great food since Josh can't have any. Willie, what'd you have this weekend? Anything stellar, man.

[Willie Griswold]

I've been having. There's this bar next to my place in Chicago, and I've been going there a lot because I just want to become a regular.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

But I've been having their cheeseburger. I've had three of those last week.

[Jess Hooker]

Nice.

[Willie Griswold]

Just because it gets busy sometimes, and I want to be like, oh, Willie's here. You know, Come on, we'll pull one up for you. I keep going there, and there's a new bartender, so I'm just. I'm going there every single day.

[Tom Griswold]

Fries.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Great fries.

[Tom Griswold]

Good fries.

[Josh Arnold]

So you're trying to establish.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Willie Griswold]

And I'm talking to the front of house. I'm talking to the. I'm trying to make sure I know everybody really want to be a regular.

[Josh Arnold]

You'll get there.

[Willie Griswold]

Go in there every day. New bartender. Dang it.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm the same way with a coffee place, though.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Going to my coffee place. And that's fun. Now what? Did you have anything great this weekend to eat?

[Jess Hooker]

I did. I had. Sorry, Josh. I had shrimp diablo on Saturday, and I feel like I'm. That may have been my farewell tour with shrimp Diablo.

[Tom Griswold]

Why?

[Jess Hooker]

Because it is a spicy, spicy shrimp dish. And. Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there was. There are Post Diablo.

[Jess Hooker]

Not just upset, like, just. It just doesn't. It just. You just don't feel good afterwards. And it was hot. And it was hot. To the point.

[Tom Griswold]

This is good. Tell Josh something delicious that had a terrible effect on you. So he's not going to be.

[Jess Hooker]

So don't feel bad about that. Oh, no, yeah. The shrimp diablo is over. I think that was it. And then last night I had girl dinner, which, like I said, was Caesar salad, steak fries, but I also did the creme fraiche and caviar on my steak.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Caviar.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Caviar on your French fries.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't even know what creme fraiche is.

[Jess Hooker]

It is the tangy. Like if you take the tangiest part of sour cream and made it thicker. That's what creme fraiche is to me

[Josh Arnold]

on steak fries sounds pretty great.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. And then. And then with some caviar on top.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's kind of like a loaded potato.

[Jess Hooker]

A little bit. Okay, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Enough food talk.

[Josh Arnold]

Queen.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. No. Willie G. Sitting in at the sports has big upset.

[Jess Hooker]

Big.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Dominant front court helped Florida earn another number one seed and positioned the defending national champion Gators for a chance at a repeat. They ran into a more physical team, though. Ninth seed at Iowa played tougher inside the. I have a question. I think this is a mistake. I think they meant to say inside the paint, but it just says inside the pain and I think it's kind of fun. Ninth seated Iowa played tougher inside the pain and across the court.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Like they were going through something.

[Caller]

Guys.

[Josh Arnold]

We were inside the pain that whole last quarter,

[Willie Griswold]

but yeah, guys, Iowa 1. Bill Self says he hasn't decided whether he will continue his hall of Fame coaching career after the Jayhawks season ended with a heartbreaking loss to St. John's in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he needs to do some self reflection.

[Willie Griswold]

I mean, dude. And also post.

[Josh Arnold]

He can.

[Willie Griswold]

He can release a self help book. I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that one. That one. The title is already written for the guy.

[Willie Griswold]

He's going to sell millions with that thing.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, the phrase in the paint these days isn't as effective because there's so much paint in the court now with all the logos.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Willie Griswold]

Is it the paint of the gambling ad by the net or is it the paint in the middle? There is a lot of paint.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I say in the paint whenever my girlfriend's on her period.

[Willie Griswold]

Arnold's a problem in the paint.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we're going to find out more about the world of sports. We have a world record coming your way. And this I had never contemplated thought of. According to scientists, or at least some, including Professor Christopher Bunker. He is a, quote, a dermatologist specializing in the male genital.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Headline, why men should use toilet paper after peeing.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, come on.

[Tom Griswold]

I.

[Willie Griswold]

You know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, this is going to be very awkward.

[Josh Arnold]

We know the world wants to eliminate men. We're aware of that. I mean, this is just one of the finals.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out what that's all about when we return to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel. I have created the most advanced AI soldier. The wait is over.

[Willie Griswold]

Tron Ares now streaming on Disney plus.

[Tom Griswold]

We are looking for something, something you've discovered. And some of us will stop at nothing to get it ready. The countdown is complete.

[Jess Hooker]

There's no going back.

[Willie Griswold]

Our directive is clear.

[Mr. Obvious]

Hang on.

[Tom Griswold]

Tron Ares now streaming on Disney Plus. Rated PG13. You could win those babies.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Jess Hooker is at the news desk. Hello, there's Willie griswold@the originsouls.com sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Ace Cosby across the way. Howdy. And looking freshly shaven. You're a guy. Looks good with a beard. And without. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

I am. I disagree.

[Josh Arnold]

Envious. Oh, I know. You prefer the smooth Ace. The soft and kissable.

[Tom Griswold]

He's always smooth. Let's be clear.

[Josh Arnold]

I am Josh Arnold. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Now, we were talking about walk up music, Willie.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And what was yours again?

[Willie Griswold]

For a Bob and Tom show? Typically it is Tear it Up by Queen. Yeah, it was a song that Chick found in an episode of Ted Lasso that he loved. And he goes, yeah, why does no one know this Queen song? And then so he gave it to me and told me to be my stage song. So I've stayed with it.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, cool. And I was thinking, Josh, you've been discussing this issue. You're dealing with diverticulitis, say, kind of a. Was it a bowel related?

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely. It's a pocket like these pockets called diverticulum can form in your colon.

[Tom Griswold]

Diverticulum. Sounds like something the superintendent of your high school would be talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Really boring. And. But, but obviously it's created some problems.

[Jim Brewer]

You.

[Tom Griswold]

You can't really eat much. And I was thinking perhaps for your walk up music, I know you're having some issues. In fact, you just emerged from the bathroom. I was thinking perhaps I was peeing a little bit of the Allman Brothers as you walk up. That's right. Stormy Monday in the men's room.

[Caller]

Oh,

[Josh Arnold]

you're gonna hear some thunder.

[Tom Griswold]

But as Greg's about to say Tuesday is just as bad. Thank you very much, Late Greg.

[Willie Griswold]

When you guys walked out of the room, he started playing that. And I was so curious why he was playing that out loud. And in my head I go, oh, how nice. Maybe he's kind of relaxing now.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, no.

[Willie Griswold]

Maybe he took a little second just for Tommy. A little Tommy time. Gonna play some Holman Brothers so I could enjoy myself.

[Josh Arnold]

A little poke in the ribs to one of his friends. He just wanted to make fun of

[Tom Griswold]

you and to queue it up there. It's a long intro that's from Live at the Fillmore. One of the greatest albums.

[Jess Hooker]

Have you not heard his relaxing music? The music he does relax to in the morning before the show starts.

[Willie Griswold]

The jazz. Right.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I was telling Mark this morning how out of character it is for him to listen to, like, smooth jazz.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, this is. I mean, this is the Ray Bryant Trio.

[Willie Griswold]

It's like coffee shop, npr. It does not seem like your vibe at all.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's nice.

[Jess Hooker]

I think he actually just plays it so no one will come in here.

[Tom Griswold]

A little bit of the Ray Bryant Trio, ladies and gentlemen. This is great stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh, sure it is.

[Jess Hooker]

It's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Makes you want to cry.

[Jess Hooker]

What's the other one that's really fast? Do you have one that's a lot faster than this?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, maybe like a Kirby Hancock.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, maybe that's what it was. Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Speaking of music and diverticulitis, Chris writes in from Cincinnati. Now, I know some of this is true. I don't know how much. Hey, Josh, did you know Eddie Van Halen who suffered from diverticulitis? He did have it. Wrote a whole album about his struggles with. Was called Diverticulitis Got me feeling down. The record execs hated it and made them shorten it to Diver down and the rest is history. Now, I don't know if Diver down is actually based on diverticuli.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't the COVID of Diver down the scuba diving flag? Meaning.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, but never know. But I do know that he had it like. Yeah, he did have div.

[Tom Griswold]

I assumed it was a David Lee Roth reference to some kind of sexual move.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

It's been interpreted that way for quite some time. Ou812, never much stomach issue.

[Josh Arnold]

His wife was a big chef.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. I mean, food doesn't. I mean, it obviously complicates diverticulitis, but it's not the main. It's the pockets themselves.

[Tom Griswold]

And his. His wife, or former wife is a. She was on a kid show for years. Doing. Cooking. She's great.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, she is great on those.

[Tom Griswold]

She's terrific.

[Jess Hooker]

And now she is a key player on the Drew Barrymore Show. Yeah, Valley. Yeah, she's beautiful.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we have more letters to get to, but we were going to cover a little bit of sports. We had the one upset you mentioned, Willie. What else is happening?

[Willie Griswold]

Well, Purdue has advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third straight time in seventh in the last nine years. Fletcher Lawyer scored 24 points. Trey Kaufman Wren had 19 points and nine rebounds. And the second seeded Boilermakers beat Miami 79 to 69. Couldn't whistle, so I just kind of sang that one. On Sunday in the second round of the NC2A tournament. In his first game since breaking Bobby Hurley's NCAA career record for assists, Purdue's Braden Smith had 12 points and eight assists. Matt Painter secured his 500th win in 21 seasons as Purdue's coach. He is just 12 short of Gene Keaty's school record. Sheldon Henderson led the Hurricanes with 18 points and eight rebounds. So go Boilers. I know we got a lot of Boiler fans in this building.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure do. There's one right behind you. An alumni. Our producer Jason is a. Is a former Boiler.

[Willie Griswold]

My grandma Graham's had a big day yesterday. I'm sure she's hungover. No perfect men's.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. How old is she?

[Willie Griswold]

92. She's not hungover. I was just being silly. But she did text me at like 11:30 being like time to wake up. And I was like, Ramsey, come on, I'm an adult. I wasn't awake until 2 yesterday.

[Greg Warren]

That was a pretty bad look for me.

[Willie Griswold]

No perfect men's NCAA tournament brackets remain among the millions of entries in the ESPN Bracket Challenge and in contests tracked on the NCAA's official website. The end came when number six Tennessee beat number three seed Virginia 7972 in the 44th game of the tournament. The day started with two perfect brackets left in the ESPN contest and four other NCAA official website which tracks the ESPN challenge. With six contests run by other outlets, ESPN had 26.5 million entries and 36 million were tracked by the NCAA website. Hundreds of perfect brackets remained in the women's tournament.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. By the way, if your bracket was busted in our tournament with orange insoles, all is not lost. You can still enter to win a new 4K TV. The makeup win. How about that? So you'll feel good about things. Get the details by visiting bobandtom.com contest while I'm at it, I'll Remind you once again, Lee's famous recipe, chicken yum is sending us to greater Cincinnati. We'll technically be in Covington, Kentucky, coming up at smoke Justice Thursday morning with a special edition of our show. Hope you can stop by or at least listen. And we do have a special charity T shirt that we've stuck on our pop up store in honor of the event to benefit a great little organization that helps out little kids in the hospital by making sort of superhero pajamas, kind of little uniforms for them so they feel better. It's called brave gowns. You can make a donation to them if you want directly. We got a link on our website. Also, you can buy one of these shirts. They're really cool. They are in honor of the opening day. And there is a secret code on them. That's all I'm saying. We'll figure out what it is or tell you what it is coming up on Thursday. All right, Willie, what else is happening over there at the sports desk?

[Willie Griswold]

Well, I mean, this is a huge sports story. A Pakistani athlete has broken his own record for most thumb push ups with one leg raised in one minute.

[Josh Arnold]

What is this?

[Willie Griswold]

I don't know, but Mr. Mohammed Arshad performed a total of 66 push ups while holding himself up by just his thumbs. Arshad told the Guinness world records. Thumb push ups are one of the most difficult and rare exercises requiring exceptional strength, balance, and mental toughness. Mr. Arshad holds over 14 Guinness World Record titles. Look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

I think we have a little bit of a visual on this guy. There we go. He's on his thumbs doing traditional push ups. Except you'll notice his right leg is held up off the ground, man. So he's on one foot and two thumbs. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Very specific. Out of the thumbs. Support that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This is. It's very weird. Yeah, but I'm extra. Extremely difficult.

[Josh Arnold]

By the way, when that man hitchhikes, he gets picked up.

[Willie Griswold]

You can see that from five miles away.

[Tom Griswold]

That guy's not in that one photograph. It looks like he's wearing prison orange. I'm not sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, it does. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know if that's the same

[Josh Arnold]

or He's a tough dude.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he's. He's kind of a badass. Now we have more of your letters to get to and feel free to write us, Bob and tomobandtom.com. now, you mentioned that I on occasion will not be paying attention to get in the wrong car.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is like. Which is the reason I would like to have walk up music to my Car, Sure. You press the button all of a sudden, oh, wait a minute, there's my walk up music. My car is over this way. Dear Bob and Tom show. This comes to us from Sam Sammy. I was a young boy and my family and I were leaving church. We got into the wrong vehicle. I climbed all the way into the third row, over the seats and everything. Sat there for a few minutes. My dad was trying to figure out why he couldn't start the vehicle. Turned out it was indeed the wrong van. He told us quickly to get out, shut the doors. We walked a few spots over, got into the correct van. I will somehow never forget that.

[Josh Arnold]

Excellent. The whole family.

[Willie Griswold]

12 second walk where you feel like a criminal, you feel like you've done something terribly wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, yeah, that's the real problem. You're afraid the person whose car it is. I was in the parking lot at Lowe's one time and I'm standing next to this car, clicking away, trying to get in. This guy walks up and he goes, that's my car, sir. At the time I was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I said, I'm sorry, I've got one just like this. The guy watches me walk away and I realize I'd driven my Suburban.

[Josh Arnold]

He just thought you were insane. Either a thief or an insane.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. He thought, wait a minute, this guy was trying to steal my car. So please be, please be careful. Now coming up, we're going to talk with comedian Jim Brewer. We're also going to talk with comedian Greg Warren. Greg's been doing a lot of stuff with Nate Bargazzi and we're always, it's always a pleasure to talk to you, Greg. We'll see what's going on, going on with Greg Warren right now. When you get those credit card bills, have you ever looked at the interest rate you're paying? What can happen is you get a little too eager to buy stuff and all of a sudden you've got a massive amount of money you owe the credit card company and they are charging you probably upwards of 20% interest for the privilege of allowing you to buy all that stuff. Maybe it's time to get rid of that debt. And the way to do that, or at least one way to do it, is to refinance. If you are a homeowner, you have a lot of equity in that house, probably a lot more than you think you have. Because of the way housing prices have been going the last five years or so, most houses are worth significantly more than they were just a few years back. So maybe this is a good time to refi and get rid of that gigantic amount of money you owe the credit card company and stop paying that 20% interest to them. This is where American Financing comes in. They have a bunch of different programs. They sent me some, some actual stats. Average savings that they've been dealing with lately is about 800 bucks a month. They've also got a thing going on right now that could delay two mortgage payments. So maybe this could help you out by taking advantage of that equity in your house. Just, you can give them a call. It's American financing. 866-889-2611. Or you can just google them and find them there. American Financing. Or just go to american financing.net tell them the Bob and Tom show sent you, please. You can even go to american financing.net Bob and Tom that's American financing. Take advantage of the equity you have in your house and get rid of that credit card debt and stop paying that 20% plus interest. That's American Financing.net NMLS182334 NMLSConsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the 5 start at 6.196%. For well qualified borrowers. Call 866-889-2611.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show. We're live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios.

[Tom Griswold]

Your name again?

[Josh Arnold]

You know, my name is Josh Arnold and the name O'Reilly reminds me. I think I, I totally missed St. Patrick's Day, didn't I?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, you did.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

It's Tuesday.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay. Did you guys have corned beef and cat garbage?

[Jess Hooker]

I did at home. Yes. I had a wagyu corned beef, Willie. Oh, my gosh.

[Greg Warren]

Really good.

[Jess Hooker]

It was so good.

[Josh Arnold]

You are a Rockefeller.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. You had, you know, earlier you had steak fries with caviar and cremet or whatever the hell it was.

[Jess Hooker]

Some women like handbags. I like good food.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, no no, treat yourself. Exactly. Yes. So, yeah, on occasion was a wagyu corned beef. $700.

[Jess Hooker]

It wasn't as expensive as you would think.

[Tom Griswold]

Wagu is. Is that the Japanese thing?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it's the. It's the super fatty beef. Yeah, it's. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I always get that confused with Waymo. That's the car that is different. Okay. That's a driverless car. Wagyu's beef. Got it. I gotta get that kind of similar.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Well, that's awesome. That is Jess Hooker at the news desk. That's Willie G over@the orangeandsouls.com sports desk.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, man.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom. Well, I. Maybe we'll have a St. Patrick's Day in July. We could do one so I can celebrate with them.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, it's. There's not enough opportunity to drink green beer. There should be green beer.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never had a green beer. Really? I think I had one.

[Tom Griswold]

Really makes you pee green, which is kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

It really does.

[Willie Griswold]

Turns your tongue green.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Do they. The Chicago River? They still do the green? Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

They do it here too. Oh, yeah, on the canal.

[Willie Griswold]

I didn't go because I didn't want to get punched in the face by a 17 year old from the suburbs who was wasted.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That can be amateur.

[Tom Griswold]

You gotta be careful. I had some funny happening over the weekend.

[Josh Arnold]

Dallas.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to get some ice because my 10 year old was doing a lemonade stand.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love that. Excellent.

[Tom Griswold]

So I went to a not too far away gas station. And one of the things I like about America and ice is it's kind of on the honor system.

[Jess Hooker]

It is.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't have to go haul the ice in and you just go, I'm going to get two bags.

[Jess Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

So I walk in and I know that people find this politically incorrect, but this is how it went.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, so what could be coming?

[Willie Griswold]

What could be next?

[Tom Griswold]

So calm down.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, my gosh. How you make buying ice politically incorrect, I will never know.

[Tom Griswold]

I walk in,

[Jess Hooker]

you're right, you're right.

[Tom Griswold]

This guy goes, hello, Bob now.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, so he recognized.

[Tom Griswold]

He recognized me, kind of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He had a very thick accent. I admire him, his hard work and appreciate him and welcome to America. But I didn't. I didn't know. So should I say yes?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, you correct him.

[Josh Arnold]

Really? Oh, yeah. And there's no reason he wouldn't, you know, there's. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I just thought he was so pleased with Himself for thinking he knew who I was.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, you could. I guess you don't have.

[Tom Griswold]

I just. I just let. Let it be.

[Josh Arnold]

You could also go, oh, hey, thanks for listening. You know, that's as simple as that.

[Tom Griswold]

If he's listening right now.

[Mr. Obvious]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he was, but no, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, that's the way I do

[Josh Arnold]

not sound like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know why people object to accents. There. That's real. Yeah, that's the real way life is. There are people that just by chance he happened to have, as do the folks of my Dairy Queen, by the way.

[Jess Hooker]

You know, when you say that on the air, so many people go, I know exactly what Dairy Queen he's talking about.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the best one. They're great.

[Josh Arnold]

They know how to run a franchise.

[Jess Hooker]

Did you repurpose the doghouse for a lemonade stand?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, the doghouse is still there.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Inside or outside?

[Tom Griswold]

It's still inside. I proposed. I said there was a storm. Can we. Can we. Can we paint the doghouse this weekend? Yeah, we're not painting it, daddy.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay?

[Josh Arnold]

No, raw. Just the raw.

[Tom Griswold]

Raw wood. You try explaining to a 10 year old and her friend Warpage and Plywood, etc.

[Greg Warren]

Etc.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, they. But the. Yeah, they did. The lemonade stand.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Was over the weekend and it was a success.

[Tom Griswold]

An unbelievable success.

[Jess Hooker]

So nice.

[Tom Griswold]

So much so that we're donating most of the money because that's very kind of embarrassing.

[Josh Arnold]

What's the price point?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, I don't know what the price point.

[Jim Brewer]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What is it?

[Josh Arnold]

What is it?

[Tom Griswold]

I just know what the gross was.

[Jess Hooker]

And it was a dollar.

[Josh Arnold]

What did you say? A 12 ounce? What were you serving?

[Tom Griswold]

They had the solo cups.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

What are those things? How many? I don't know how many?

[Jess Hooker]

16.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

But they did have the good ice that I got from my friend Loobub. And Willie just told me I was mentioning this off here.

[Willie Griswold]

You can't apologize for doing it and keep doing it a bunch.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I think he apologized for people getting upset about it. Okay, I'm sorry you get so upset.

[Tom Griswold]

Calm down.

[Josh Arnold]

He's not. No, there's no rewards.

[Tom Griswold]

Get real. People have accents. It's okay. I have an accent. He probably thinks I talk funny.

[Mr. Obvious]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

You were telling me the best place to get ice is McDonald's.

[Willie Griswold]

McDonald's drive thru. You pull right up, you use the

[Tom Griswold]

app, you get the.

[Willie Griswold]

You get the ice, you get a basket of fries.

[Tom Griswold]

How big is the ice?

[Willie Griswold]

It's a conventional. It's your regular bag of ice. Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Whatever this is.

[Josh Arnold]

Can you get like four?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, you can for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

It's huge barbecue season. You can't beat it.

[Tom Griswold]

I wish I'd know because I get. I have a refrigerator that makes ice, but I don't like the ice in the fridge. And then I have a crust ice machine and I hate crushed ice.

[Jess Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

So I go buy ice all the time. I had no idea.

[Willie Griswold]

And it's one of the only places you can get ice and a snack wrap together. So you get a snack grab, you know, large Diet Coke. You're cooking, baby.

[Tom Griswold]

I actually had someone. I forget where I was. They were talking about something that I love doing, which is making fun of people. Well, of course. No. Have you ever done this where you decide you're going to go. It's kind of like a scavenger hunt. You get. You go to various fast food places and get one of each item. For example, you go to McDonald's for the fries.

[Jess Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Then you make. Might go to. I don't know, maybe you go to Burger King for a Whopper. Oh, yeah. Or whatever it is. And I just happened to be. I walked into this conversation, they were talking about that. I thought I was the only one that liked to do that.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. If they're close, I could see doing it, but. But I'm not driving all over.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. But that was the whole. See, you're missing the point. It's the journey.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, no. I'm there for the food. I'm there for the hot food.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

That's my move at a KFC Taco Bell is I get. I get a chicken quesadilla and I use that to sort of as like a little scooper in the famous bowl.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

So that I'm using.

[Josh Arnold]

I. I know. That's amazing.

[Willie Griswold]

It's incredibly fat. It's incredible. But it's a good time.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

And you think the starch doesn't mix with it, with the quesadilla. And you know what? You'd be correct. It's texturally, it's a nightmare. Boy, is it fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe you could. Maybe you could pace yourself, design a pattern. Either you design a pattern in which you get the fries, then 20 minutes later you're going to get the burger.

[Jess Hooker]

So it's like a fast food crawl, like a bar crawl, but it's a fast.

[Greg Warren]

And they were.

[Tom Griswold]

These people were talking about it. And I walked into the conversation. Oh, my God. I thought I was the Only one.

[Josh Arnold]

We would do that every Christmas with our show choir.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Where we would go to one house. We would go to like six different houses over a night.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes. That's common. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What is that called?

[Jess Hooker]

Sports teams. I mean, we called it a crawl.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And the first house would have like

[Tom Griswold]

the appetizer and they were told what to prepare.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Wine moms do that too.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great idea.

[Josh Arnold]

It was kind of fun. There was no booze.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, the parents were drinking.

[Tom Griswold]

No, there's no, no, no. The booze. That'd be fun for the band. Now, speaking of food, we got some great food. I think it's coming in this week. We are celebrating the opening of the Cincinnati Reds and of Major League Baseball. Coming up this Thursday, brought to you by Lee's famous recipe chicken. Very excited about this and we're going to be doing it from Smoke Justice, a restaurant in Covington in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, right across the river, of course, to Greater Cincinnati. And once again, we'll be at smokejuster Starting at 06:00 Eastern Time, broadcasting this show this Thursday. Also, we have our pop up shop up and running and there's a special set of charity shirts. And we have a new one today. I was outvoted when it came to the logo on the. Or the. At the bottom of this shirt. And then I discovered other people prefer the one I did like. So we're doing two different versions now.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And then technically four versions. If you look at this, this is getting way too complicated. Go to our pop [e-mail] and we're donating the money from those shirts to a great little charity called Brave Gowns. They. They sew little, little like superhero uniforms for kids in the hospital. If you don't want to buy the shirt but want to make a donation, there's a way you can click and get over to their website and donate directly to them. It's fun. It's a really nice little charity for kids that need to be cheered up a little bit. Of course. And what could make anybody happier than having a cape? God knows I wouldn't mind having one. Would that be too much of an affectation? If I were a cape at all times?

[Josh Arnold]

Please start.

[Willie Griswold]

You would trip over it all the time.

[Josh Arnold]

I would love it.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd go. I was thinking of. I'd go with the midi.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes. There you go. Would you do the big, like, collar too? Isn't that. Does that come with the cape?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, some, yeah. Like the classic Dracula costume.

[Tom Griswold]

I Have been doing the big collar thing lately.

[Willie Griswold]

What?

[Jess Hooker]

You are a collar flipper.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

When you wear your bomber jacket.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Also, I've got to keep the sun off my neck, which is why I wear my cowboy hat. Also because you need a bubble. I had some skin issues.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, so. But no, I've been doing the big collar thing with my winter.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Outfits. What do you call those things? What are those furry things you wear?

[Willie Griswold]

What are you talking about?

[Tom Griswold]

Underneath a sweater? No, no, no. The fluffy chick wears them all the time.

[Jess Hooker]

A scarf?

[Tom Griswold]

No, the. They're like shirts, but they're thicker.

[Josh Arnold]

Cardigan.

[Tom Griswold]

No, they're. Sorry. The ones that are for skiing with, like the north face. The Bogner. One of those calls.

[Josh Arnold]

No business talking for a living.

[Willie Griswold]

This is crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't think of the word. It's on the tip of my tongue. I'm sorry. I forget what they're called. I'm sorry. Have we completed our sports broadcast?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, we have one sports story.

[Josh Arnold]

Can you believe baseball's starting up?

[Willie Griswold]

I'm so excited. I was looking at Cubs tickets the other day. Yeah. I'm gonna go drink beer outside and get a sunburn this month. Get out of town. I'm excited. I can't wait.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's not too early to get sunburned.

[Jess Hooker]

I got a little sun yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Hart got toasted at her lemonade stand.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, I bet.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't want anyone to get sick. And I know the sun is very serious. There's nothing funnier than a kid with just a slightly sunburned face.

[Jess Hooker]

I think it's adorable.

[Willie Griswold]

You know what I'm talking about?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I do know what you're talking about.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And don't we have new bucket hats?

[Jess Hooker]

We do have new bucket hats on the show. Yeah. You can protect your face.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Jess Hooker]

From the sun.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Very cool. Now you got one more sports story. What is it?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, one more sports story. We're doing it right now.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Willie Griswold]

Okay. Well, hey, check this out, you guys. Darrell Green was one of a few NFL players who was able to compete in the 80s, 90s and 2000s before he retired and was eventually inducted in the Pro Football hall of fame. Green, 66th of May end up pursuing a new route back to the gridiron thanks to flag football.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Willie Griswold]

At the Fanatics flag football Classic, the sport was put at the NFL fans top of the minds for at least one afternoon. Green is hoping to be able to make the US Flag football team as the sport is set to debut at the 2028 LA Olympics.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that'd be cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I'll take part in the national team trials in California with the hope of receiving an invitation to training camp next month. He could end up earning a spot on the 2026 flag football squad that will compete at the world championships in Germany over the summer.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you say how old he is?

[Willie Griswold]

66 years old.

[Tom Griswold]

So he'd be 68 by that time. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I guess that would have to make him the world's oldest if. Let's say they meddled.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that'd be great.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that might make him the world's oldest Olympian anyway. Yeah. But boy, it's one of the only

[Tom Griswold]

sports that Velcro is involved.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. So they don't like. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Aren't the flags Velcro to their.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know if they are or if they're tucked in a little bit. I have no idea if they talked.

[Tom Griswold]

You get guys underwear flying out, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Which I think would be great. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Sometimes they're on a belt. You're right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

They're kind of tucked.

[Tom Griswold]

So I'm not sure. I thought they were Velcroed.

[Josh Arnold]

They could very well be.

[Tom Griswold]

Or super glued. I can't get it off.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Will there be like. Will there be like, checking for cheating in the flag football in the Olympics? Because you could just kind of glue that thing. Tape that thing in there.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there. How many people are there per team?

[Greg Warren]

I.

[Willie Griswold]

No idea.

[Tom Griswold]

I assume it can't be. It's not 11%.

[Willie Griswold]

I assume it's like nines maybe.

[Jess Hooker]

That's why I was going to say nines. Yeah, I was with you there.

[Josh Arnold]

There are so many penalties these days in regular NFL games. I'm surprised that's not called flag football.

[Tom Griswold]

You'd think we wrote this show. Keep listening. You'll find out we didn't.

[Greg Warren]

Come on, refs.

[Josh Arnold]

Let him play.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we have more mail we have to get to, but we have time to squeeze in a news story.

[Josh Arnold]

This is my first. I just took the first sip of coffee I've had in seven days. It's a flavor explosion. I can't even. I'm about to cry.

[Willie Griswold]

Is the caffeine hitting you, too? Is that caffeine making you feel good?

[Josh Arnold]

It's decaf. Poor guy. I'm not ready for caffeine on, like, essentially an empty stomach.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, no, that's probably better.

[Josh Arnold]

I feel like I would.

[Jess Hooker]

You would sprint out of here.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what would happen.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we had a noose from maybe while you were Gone. That it's amazing the number of people. The only reason they get out of bed is they think about the fact that they're going to be able to have coffee.

[Josh Arnold]

Coffee.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I was here for it. And Godwin and I have talked about that.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

About how sometimes on a Friday night we'll go, oh, man, tomorrow morning, it's a Saturday, and we can have a coffee.

[Greg Warren]

And.

[Jess Hooker]

And there's different. There's coffee at home. Coffee. Yeah, there's coffee meeting friends. Coffee. There's coffee in the middle after the afternoon coffee. Like, there's so many different coffees to anticipate.

[Willie Griswold]

I had my coffee before my shower this morning.

[Jess Hooker]

What?

[Willie Griswold]

Usually I wake up straight to the bathroom and shower. This morning it was. I'm gonna have half this cup of coffee. Just a little bit of peace.

[Tom Griswold]

Where did it come from?

[Willie Griswold]

I'm doing cold brew in the fridge now. Little cold brew, little milk, little sugar free vanilla at home. It's not bad.

[Jess Hooker]

Man, look at you growing up.

[Willie Griswold]

I know.

[Jess Hooker]

I'm so proud of you.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, it's not his father's son.

[Tom Griswold]

You know my philosophy. Coffee is out there.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

But pre shower, I'm just turning into like, I have like Bill Maher in the back of my head, like, oh, millennials are $8 lattes every day. And I was like, oh, dang it. I kind of am getting an $8 latte every day. Yeah, I got to chill out.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, cold brew at home.

[Jess Hooker]

Good.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Do you take it into the shower?

[Willie Griswold]

I did this morning. Because I've had the shower beer before.

[Tom Griswold]

I was going to say this is the. This is an evolution.

[Willie Griswold]

It's like the productive version of the shower.

[Tom Griswold]

It is very nice. In the smoking days, which me or may not be over. Do you ever take a smoke into the shower?

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Because that's. That's a real dedicated smoker.

[Willie Griswold]

I did it with pot one time, but even when I was smoking cigarettes, I was never cigs inside.

[Josh Arnold]

And I've only seen that Vietnam movies where they have those showers outside and the guy is still smoking.

[Willie Griswold]

It was in college sometimes when the party got a little out of hand, we decided it was martial law. And martial law meant you were allowed to smoke cigarettes inside. So somebody like martial law declared in five minutes. And then everyone got him ready.

[Jess Hooker]

There were a couple times my kids were with their dad on the weekend and I would have a cigarette in the bathtub.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, that sounds.

[Tom Griswold]

That's kind of elegant. You could have a candle.

[Jess Hooker]

I did. I had a kit. I did. I Did the whole thing.

[Tom Griswold]

I had you ash it right into the water.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, no. I had a really pretty crystal ashtray. Like it was. It was a whole vibe. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I did.

[Tom Griswold]

Now why was. The other day we were explaining. Who was. We were trying to explain the. The hubcap ashtray.

[Josh Arnold]

Me.

[Jess Hooker]

I have never. I've never seen this before.

[Tom Griswold]

That was such a standard sort of hillbilly interior decorating move.

[Jess Hooker]

So naturally you would think I'd know.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no. I mean, that was a kind of a college. A college level thing. You have the.

[Greg Warren]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

The coffee table, courtesy of AT&T.

[Jess Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone unspooled several hundred feet of wire so they could steal it. And then the, The. The boxes with records in them, etc. Etc.

[Jess Hooker]

I had to look up a picture of the hubcap ashtray. I haven't seen it yet.

[Tom Griswold]

What percentage of cars have hubcaps anymore?

[Jess Hooker]

I. I still.

[Josh Arnold]

I. I'm not a car guy. I assumed they. They all still did. They don't.

[Jess Hooker]

I just don't think they're wheels. Right. There's no hubcap necessary. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

We got into a discussion because when at one point Godwin's car had only one hubcap left, in the interest of him being able to go on a date, we went down to this hubcap place where they have apparently every hubcap ever manufactured.

[Mr. Obvious]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

It was. It was almost like the museum of hubcaps. It was amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

The hubcap hub.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it could have been. It was great, though. It was a lot of fun. Coming up, we have a comedian. Jim Brewer will be our guest. Comedian Greg Warren will be our guest. We have a sperm donation in the news in a rather unusual way involving the law. And this question, should men wipe after urinating?

[Josh Arnold]

I need to hear what this guy has to say.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a doctor that says, yes, that's

[Josh Arnold]

what my underwear's for.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, I. There's a lot of awkward things that could come of this, especially in a public restroom. We'll get to all those things from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Just gotta get ahold of us. Call, text or email. Get all the contact information you [e-mail]. this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Jess Hook is at the news desk.

[Jess Hooker]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie G. Is over there@the originsouls.com sports desk. Hey, man, there's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Josh Arnold. Coming up, we have great guests Jim Brewer and Greg Warren. And the Warren Report on the Bob and Tom show is sponsored by Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. Famous for a reason. And there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken, they are bringing us to Cincinnati coming up this Thursday morning. Technically, we'll be in the Commonwealth of Kentucky at Smoke Justice, a great spot in Covington broadcasting this show with a handful of special guests. Hope you can join us or at least join us on the airwaves. And thanks again to Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. We've got some cool charity sweatshirts posted on our all new website, bobandtom.com it's our pop up shop and I think you'll like especially if you're a baseball fan of and particularly of Cincinnati baseball. Kind of an old fashioned looking T shirt.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That we've, we've thrown up there. It's kind of cool. Just to answer a question that was posed just a few minutes ago on our show, about 20% of cars sold in the United States have hubcaps.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hooker]

Does it list any of the types of cars? I'm curious because I feel like, like a Camry would have hubcaps.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

We can't totally get rid of them otherwise in comedic car chases or car accidents in movies, you're not going to have that one hubcap rolling by at the end of the scene. True. Yeah, we can, we can't lose that trope.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's, I like that. And not to mention the hillbilly ashtray.

[Jess Hooker]

Was it, was it just on the table or did it have a stand

[Tom Griswold]

and it was just on a table.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It was as though somebody saw a hubcap and went, this will make a fine ashtray.

[Tom Griswold]

And then just put it was ubiquitous. More of those than the Frank Zappa Phi Zappa Crappa poster that I tortured you guys with for some time by the way I have. I'm getting mine framed. If you're wondering why you haven't seen it recently.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, we. We were not. Where are you gonna hang it? It's got to be in this building, right? There's no way it's going in your house.

[Jess Hooker]

In the bathroom here.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, you know something? It's my house.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's what I say, but I also know what other people say.

[Jess Hooker]

Look at Willie's face.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not. I couldn't even put that in the garage.

[Willie Griswold]

No, do that. See what happens. It's my house. Give that a shot.

[Tom Griswold]

No, the Phi Zappa crappa will probably be an end up in my office.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I'm always.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm moving to a bigger office.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, gotcha, Willie. I'm always in a. You know, that move has been happening for quite some time. Some time.

[Jess Hooker]

And, and we got it all scheduled. We had the carpets cleaned, we did all the stuff. And he was like, yeah, we'll get to it. So he kind of forgot about it

[Tom Griswold]

for a long time. No, I'm very busy and I'm. I've got someone I've hired to come in and help me do it.

[Willie Griswold]

It's like when he buys a house. He buys. When he buys a house, you know, it's. He buys it and then six years later he moves in.

[Jess Hooker]

There you go.

[Willie Griswold]

Mark's got to do a lot of stuff around. He's got to figure some stuff out.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm in.

[Josh Arnold]

Now it's world that Mark's got you figured out.

[Willie Griswold]

We have the longest con of all time. All it took was a 40 year friendship.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet Mark and your lawyer go out to lunch and just laugh.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't just go out to lunch. They're on my lawyer's boat. Miss Hooker is sitting in for Christy Lee.

[Jess Hooker]

Here I am.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy Lee's helping out members of her family down south. And she'll be back, I think tomorrow. But what have you got over there? In the world of news, a father

[Jess Hooker]

and son in Canada have been banned from donating sperm.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, what did they do?

[Jess Hooker]

After allegedly contributing. Contributing to over 600 pregnancies.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. Yeah, they need to knock it off. Yeah, you don't have to give away every load.

[Jess Hooker]

Felipe Norman is believed to have donated sperm that led to 162 pregnancies, while 451 children were conceived using the sperm of his. His son. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So you can see the problem here. Yes, these people are all running around the same community.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, they're responsible for 12 accidental incestuous weddings.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's. That's what the judge said.

[Jess Hooker]

A judge granted an injunction that bans the two men from donating any more of their sperm.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys have donated so much they can't even give old socks to Goodwill. It's got to be pretty weird if you go to the sperm bank and it's like walking into the bar and cheers, hey, Willie. And at sperm banks, I'm assuming, do you have to load up the sample right there?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You walk in and there's a.

[Jess Hooker]

There's a room for you. It sounds like they were vip, so.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Might have their own room.

[Willie Griswold]

Would they go together? Would they like take the same car,

[Josh Arnold]

sit back to back?

[Jess Hooker]

Is that called something they'd have.

[Josh Arnold]

They'd have son do it?

[Jess Hooker]

No, no, just guys.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean back to back? Yeah, I A, haven't participated in B, don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

On watch they call it Got your.

[Tom Griswold]

But you have to wonder if the father and son would go together and if there'd be some kind of a joke about who finished first. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Why are they both so.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you've got to be. I think there's sort of a sweet spot. You don't want to be too quick. Right. You don't want to be, you know, Johnny, come early and then you don't want to be too long either.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah, there is a sweet spot. I wonder if they were getting paid. Well, they. I think so, but I were they like this sounds like it was their job.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, there. There's some psychological thing about with them. Right. This is weird.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, can't you get paid more if you're like a doctor or something or going to a certain kind of school? I wonder.

[Tom Griswold]

When I was in college, there were ads in the college paper.

[Jess Hooker]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

They were looking for a very specific. I'll be delicate here. A very specific religious heritage.

[Jess Hooker]

Gotcha.

[Tom Griswold]

And a couple of other things.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, gotcha.

[Jess Hooker]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

I forget what it paid.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, does anybody know any Jewish black guy? Sperm is like gold

[Tom Griswold]

with pretty high sats.

[Josh Arnold]

Please, over here.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that still happens. I would imagine in that world there are probably very specific sperm banks just for certain groups of people.

[Greg Warren]

I would.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. For sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And remember this? We had a story a few years ago that's one of the sperm banks said they no longer wanted any red haired.

[Jess Hooker]

They had too many or they just didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

They didn't want any.

[Jess Hooker]

Well, it's a genetic mutation is what they say. Like when you like scientifically not saying that, you know, but yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you're not saying redheads are mutants.

[Jess Hooker]

No, not at all. I'm just. I think redheads. I have. We know that you love redheads.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, she kind of has a redhead fetish.

[Willie Griswold]

Do you really?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I do.

[Willie Griswold]

I learn more about you every day.

[Tom Griswold]

Strictly for men or for men and women? Women.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, men and women.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh. Because we're getting a lot of.

[Jess Hooker]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Letters about.

[Jess Hooker]

Were you with us in Cincinnati last year?

[Willie Griswold]

I was not. I think I was working with Frank. What was going on?

[Jess Hooker]

Aunt Jesse had a couple shots and got friendly with a female bartender. And now the listeners are big fans of that segment of the show, hoping it happens again.

[Willie Griswold]

It's got to happen again. We got to do whatever we can.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know if she's still there. I don't know if she still works.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to find out. What we're talking about is there is a Smoke justice once again doing a special show Thursday morning in honor of the opening of Major League Baseball, particularly of the Cincinnati Reds. This is all courtesy of Lee's famous recipe chicken. We're looking forward to being at Smoke Justice. Have a great time and hope to see you Thursday morning once [e-mail] the pop up store has popped up. We've got a special charity shirt. It's cool looking. And then. And as of. Is the new one posted this morning.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

There's an alternate version of it, the one that I liked that was voted out by half the staff here.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

So check out the new one. It's got. It's got crossed bats and a baseball.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And. And a secret code. There's a secret embedded in the shirt that if Chick were here, he'd give it away right now.

[Jess Hooker]

He would.

[Tom Griswold]

He's already given it away once, but it's fun. It's got a, like a cool little code.

[Willie Griswold]

Like a treasure map or something kind of.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, a little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

In a way. Yeah. Yeah, in a way. Yeah. It's a navigation aid. There's the new one. There we go. That looks. That's cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that quarter, that three quarter sleeve. Fantastic.

[Jess Hooker]

That's good.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now we're going to take a little break here because we're going to come back, I think, with if the electronic gods are with us with comedian Jim Brewer. Look forward to that. Also coming up, a comedian, Greg Warren. And we also have another interesting news story involving this question posed by a physician. Should men use toilet paper after urinating? And according to Dr. Christopher Bunker. Guys, you should. We'll debate that and see what on earth is going on in that realm when we return to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning even though we're not too much to look at. You can also watch the show on our YouTube channel. I'm Dan Stano.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm the CEO of Philly Fitness. Our management and executive team has decades of experience in the industry, so we've worked with all sorts of CRMs and member management systems.

[Tom Griswold]

Just about everyone in the business probably.

[Willie Griswold]

And when we demoed ClubOS, we found

[Tom Griswold]

[Josh Arnold]

Hey there. Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. Live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, Jess Hooker is at the news desk. Hello, Willy G. theorangeinsouls.com sports chair.

[Willie Griswold]

Good morning.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom. And Tom, I believe we're joined by one of our favorite people if the

[Tom Griswold]

electronic gods are with us. There we go. Look at that handsome man. I'm talking to my son Willie. Oh, there's another handsome man on the big screen. It's comedian Jim Brewer. Hey, Jim, how are you, sir?

[Jim Brewer]

I'm doing good. You know, it's at these stages, too. You call comedian and they go, ah, man, I know it's really early for you. I'm 58. I'm up at 5, 6am how can I live my day the fullest at this point?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, get them while you can. Work them in. Jim Brewer is on tour and lots of spots coming up, including, if I've got this right, you're in Des Moines, Iowa, tonight at the Hoyt Sherman place, Is that correct? Yeah, tonight and then, and then, let me see here, it looks like Thursday in Saginaw, you got Detroit Indy coming up this weekend, Fort Wayne, Newport, Kentucky, Columbus, Ohio, Utica, New York, all on the way. And we were just talking about Jim before we went on the air. And I'm going to make a request of my own show now. We're going to feature Jim Brewer and one of his famous onstage pieces coming up in just a few minutes involving AC dc. So Jim, if you want to keep listening after you hang up, there's this really funny bit this Guy does. And wait a minute, it's you. And it's just. It's just an absolute classic. And then, of course, the topic of Half Baked came up. One of the. One of the great movies. And. And am I correct in saying that you are not particularly a smoker or etc.

[Jim Brewer]

I'm not.

[Tom Griswold]

Not.

[Jim Brewer]

I'm not that character. But yeah, he wasn't even close to that character. But no, I do enjoy once in a while, especially now the kids are older, a little gummy here and there to get me to sleep at night time, but not like, you know, not like back in the day. But yeah, no, I definitely.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you agree that the gummies have the ritual and the romance of. I mean, I can't imagine the movie Easy Rider where Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda quarter up a gummy. He hands it to Nicholson and he goes, I've got my store bought. You know what I mean? Some of the romance is gone.

[Jim Brewer]

I made these in my basement. You really can enjoy that. Normally. Normally they're 20 milligrams, but I'm gonna start you with 10.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't see that coming. So you got. You got your live stage act out there. Give me a little bit of a feel for what it's like these days.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, my.

[Jim Brewer]

You talking about my act? Yeah, I'm a storyteller. It takes me like 20 minutes to get to the point.

[Willie Griswold]

However

[Jim Brewer]

it really does. It's like, what I love is when I start my journey, usually I'll have a premise, right? And then I start the premise, and then about five minutes in, they're going, where's he? He's on a completely different set. I like the Richard Jenny. Richard Jenny used to take a premise. He'd take a pen, and then the next thing you know, he's spending 10, 15 minutes on the pen. But he keeps going in all these different angles. That's. That's a lot of. I think I have five subjects throughout my entire show. I think I do. Getting lost at this stage in a doorway, which. That still complicates me. I think there's some weird voodoo stuff with a doorway. I didn't know. I really do. And it's like, what.

[Caller]

How?

[Jim Brewer]

I've never walked down the street and forget where I am. I never. I never checked in a Hotel Norway and not. Nor am. But I can. I could sit here and go, oh, I'm gonna put my belt on. And then a minute I go through a doorway. Like, what am I. Why am I in this room?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I experienced that every time I leave this room to go get coffee and I'm. Wait a minute. Was I gonna go to the bar? Why am I. Why am I in front of the refrigerator? I saw that.

[Jim Brewer]

And then the only way to save yourselves, you got to go back through the doorway and then try to figure out what just happened.

[Josh Arnold]

That's great.

[Tom Griswold]

But your stories end up with a payoff. Coming back to the actual topic, unlike, say, when we talk with broadcaster Dick Vital and he tells three quarters of a story, then gets diverted into something else, and then you never find out what happened to the guy at the three point line. So there is a payoff because you've got all your money marbles. Tell us about. Tell us about now. Your. Your family life. You mentioned the kids are growing up, but what's going on there?

[Jim Brewer]

So I have a daughter that's 27. She's the oldest one. She's. And then have the middle one. There's always one that shows up back home. She's. She's back home. There's always. There's always one. You think you're free. And then. I didn't know. We're like, hey, it's okay if I stay at the house for a couple months, maybe save some cash? Do you guys. You guys have a car maybe? Did I show you my new tattoos?

[Tom Griswold]

This is all. This all sounds very familiar.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't the phrase that they're using boomerang. Boomerang children or something?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. That is.

[Jim Brewer]

Yes. I've got a lot of boomerangs going on. And then the youngest one, young swan, might pull it off. She's. She's in culinary school.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Jim Brewer]

As a. Yeah. And she's. She rolls around with some big shot chefs and she's only 21. And now she's in Honolulu until April working with some Michelin chef. And she retires. Retires. She graduates in a year, but she's crushing it as a chef.

[Tom Griswold]

That's awesome. We have a culinary school candidate right here in the room with us. Ms. Hooker. Oh, yeah. Ms. Hooker's been talking about. This is how hot we are. During the breaks, we were, honest to God, having a discussion about why regular chefs hate bakers. And people who bake are a different breed. They're two different animals. Yeah. We're big on talking about cooking. That's great, though. Working in restaurants is awesome. I used to do it. Did you ever have, like a gig prior to being a comedian?

[Jim Brewer]

Were you a house waiter?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, waiter. Would you agree. Would you agree that working in restaurants is Great training for almost anything, I think.

[Jim Brewer]

I think working in restaurant before I got married, I would tell other. I would tell other people in the type of females I was extremely attracted to was anyone that was weighed on tables and like, really, like, first of all, they're bust in there, they're busting their chops to work. They're willing to work, they work all out. They deal with all types of human beings being harassed. Going in the kitchen, you're dealing with a chef like, oh, this has been

[Tom Griswold]

sitting up here for like 30 days. They're all insane. Don't even think about bringing it back.

[Jim Brewer]

I worked in some nice resort where the. The lady wanted her prime rib cooked a little more. Right. So I bring in the prime rib and this is a. I gotta wear a bow tie. I had to wear a tuxedo at this place. And I walk in, I guess she wants it well done. And he's. She should have ordered the end piece. And then he just took our juice and he put it over. He goes, here, it's cooked more.

[Tom Griswold]

Yep, we've all experienced that.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Jim Brewer]

But I think, I think waiting on tables and working in a restaurant are very, very. I look up a lot to those individuals. Unless you're like 45 and you're still living at home and something happened,

[Josh Arnold]

by

[Tom Griswold]

the way, I should point out. We are speaking with comedian Jim Brewer and Jim is once again on tour.

[Mr. Obvious]

The.

[Tom Griswold]

The next few weeks, you're going to be in Des Moines. In fact, you're going to be in Des Moines tonight. Des Moines, Saginaw, Detroit, Indy, Fort Wayne, all coming up in the next five days. And then Newport, Kentucky, Columbus, Ohio, Cleveland, Utica, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania will kick off your month of May. So new.

[Jim Brewer]

I look forward to Newport and I'll tell you why. My, My dad grew up up the road in Dayton, Kentucky, not Dayton, Ohio, as he would say. Not Ohio, Kentucky, Dayton, Kentucky. And it's. Before he paid. One of those places where, well, I should write the book. I should write the book. The top 10 cities my father dropped to Deuce in Public. And one of them was. Well, one of them was that spot in Kentucky, Newport, because there's. There's a nice area there. It's like there's a lot of stores. There used to be, I think the Funny Bone. It used to be a comedy club.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jim Brewer]

In Newport. And I brought him there and visit my aunts and. Yeah, it was towards the end, I just remember him going, I gotta go. And I knew it was already over. No, there's no way there's no way. There's no way that was. Yeah, that's how I remember. And then we had to go to. And I walk him to an Irish pub and sneak him in, get him in the stall, take his clothes off, go find a place that sold clothes, then come back, keep him in there and then go back in and on my life, on my kids lives on. His soul is a true story. When he was. When I had his clothes back on after heaving too. For like when you're. Yeah. Everyone cleaning it and the whole time neck is still killing me. I just remember they didn't take off the bot. You know when you buy clothes and they have the little white plastic thing stuck on there? Yeah, yeah, it still had that. So at the end, even when we were leaving, he had these long sweatpants on and just this plastic thing dragging. I was like, this would be great, great movie scene right here if it ever came to fruition. But yeah, one of the best places. My father dropped a deuce right there in Newport.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, the memories. Well, Jim Brewer, it's always a great pleasure. Jim, best of luck with the tour. Thank you. And I will urge everyone to stick around because we're going to feature Mr. Brewer and one of my favorite pieces from his stage show. And it involves the great band AC DC and the movie Half Baked. It. It's. It holds up. And a pre Gummy.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah, pre gummy. And. And I want to thank you because I know Bob is retired, but it was you two that really helped push this hokey pokey thing back in the day. You guys really put that out there and. And were a huge support with my stand up. So I thank you for really knocking this one out.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course. You're so welcome.

[Jim Brewer]

Credit to you guys for this one.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, no, it's all you and it's very funny. And we're gonna play it in just a couple minutes. Jim Brewer, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks, Jim. Glad it's going well for you. Appreciate it very much. Oh, God, that was so fun. I had no idea he was gonna do a Nicholson there. That's one of my. That's one of my faves. I love that. Now, a couple of other things coming up. We're gonna talk with comedian Greg Warren in a matter of moments. Then we'll, we'll get in our AC DC tribute from Jim Brewer. It is an absolute classic. Right now I want to talk about the car girl, Christy Lee. She's not here. She's helping her family doing some stuff down south. But she'll be back I think tomorrow and I'm going to remind you that she is a huge car girl. I've mentioned this many times. I'd been here for quite a few years and I noticed that Christy had a new car every year. She just loves switching up cars. But she's been in her Hyundai now for more than two years and she's never getting rid of it. She said Hyundai knows how she feels and they think you might feel the same way. They want you to take a test drive. Drive the Hyundai. It's part of their getaway sales event. It's called the Hyundai getaway sales event. They call it that because you can get away not with just a great vehicle, but you can get away with a great deal. Right now tis the season at Hyundai and they'd like you to try something like a test drive. They've got some cool SUVs. The Santa Fe, you've probably seen those. And the Santa Fe hybrid, the Tucson and Christie Lee's favorite, she has the Tucson hybrid. I mentioned this earlier. She lives in distant lands and has to put more mileage on her car than any of the rest of us. So she's a particular fan of the hybrid because of the improved gas mileage you get with one of those babies. Now there's also the Elantra very they call it bold and stylish, cool looking car and that's got all the latest tech stuff. And the all electric Ionic 5 or the Ionic, the Ionic 9. With gas prices these days, maybe time to get plugged in. So check it out by going to your local Hyundai dealer. Take a test drive, see if you like them. I bet you will. And get away with a deal during the getaway sales event. You can find out more by visiting Hyundai USA.com it's H Y U N D A I Hyundai USA.com get details on what's going on over there. Coming up, we've got our special Jim Brewer song and a little bit of a little bit of comedy from our good friend comedian Greg Warren.

[Josh Arnold]

Great to see you, Greg. The Greg's visit. The Warren Report on the Bob and Ton Show. Tom show, sponsored by Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. Famous for a reason. I know. Greg and I are both big Lee's fans there in the.

So if you get a chance, you can buy a shirt, we'll give the money to them. And, oh, you can also make a direct donation to Brave Gowns. We made that real easy. If that's something you'd like to do. Now, Greg, I was pleased to be able to text you the other day. You. You're working a lot with the terrific comedian Nate Bargazzi. And I guess you Know you've made it in this world when your name shows up in the New York Times crossword puzzle as one of the answers.

[Greg Warren]

Man, I was so proud of him. That's, that's huge.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I was thinking, I was thinking of getting that framed and sending it to you to give to him. Yeah, man, I'll get that done for you. That was outstanding. Yeah. Now, because I should point out that Greg and I are both big fans of iced tea and crossword puzzles.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, that's the, the beverage. The rappers. Actors good, too. But the.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. I'm not familiar with his work. I can. Is, Is he familiar what Law and Order is?

[Josh Arnold]

Probably how most people.

[Greg Warren]

Law and Order is.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Oh, okay.

[Greg Warren]

Probably the longest running actor in the history of television.

[Tom Griswold]

And there's an ice cube right?

[Josh Arnold]

There is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And a vanilla ice.

[Greg Warren]

There is, yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. And is there a nice machine?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know that there's a nice

[Tom Griswold]

machine at a hotel.

[Greg Warren]

I think, I think noisy. There will be.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I don't know if you're familiar with this. I'll bring you up to speed, Greg, that your good friend Josh Arnold has been under the weather. He's only been here in the last, I don't know, 10 shows. He's been here like, I don't know, three of them. Because you've got.

[Greg Warren]

Well, I had to find out from Jason. I feel bad. I, I, I, I, I heard him mess up that Jess Hooker on the sports desk thing, and I knew.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not, I'm not 100.

[Tom Griswold]

He has diverticulitis and he's only allowed to eat bone broth and jello.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, that's, that's gonna be a little bit of a change. They don't have puffcorn on there on the.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. Now we're getting to the, we're getting to the rice cake phase, though.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so that's a comic, actually. Rapper.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Rice cake. Hoping for iced tea.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. Rice cakes.

[Josh Arnold]

Easy.

[Greg Warren]

He's clean. He's a clean comic. And are those those honest? If I had to say a little bit vanilla.

[Tom Griswold]

Are those those hockey pucks that have no taste and they're dry?

[Josh Arnold]

I actually like them even when I'm not.

[Tom Griswold]

Not.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Feeling like when I'm feeling fine, I like them. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Josh, if I could remember, suggest the Lund. Lundberg, I believe, is the best brand of.

[Josh Arnold]

You're exactly right.

[Greg Warren]

It's kind of a harder rice cake.

[Josh Arnold]

It's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that the gas price Letter Lundberg. The Lundberg letter.

[Josh Arnold]

I am.

[Greg Warren]

I don't know what he's talking. Usually I can figure it out, but I don't even know where he's coming.

[Tom Griswold]

Trilby Lumberg. Let's.

[Greg Warren]

They.

[Tom Griswold]

They.

[Jess Hooker]

That's the brand.

[Tom Griswold]

They publish the. The gas prices every day. Okay, sorry back to you. By the way. Gas prices up big time quite a

[Greg Warren]

bit from what I understand.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now, Greg, typically on this program, you choose a topic and do a. A deep dive. Is that going to be the case today?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

I picked what I feel is an important topic today, Tom. I wanted to talk about shoelaces.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God, it's. That's amazing. I was just buying some yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, you. You really have hit a sweet spot of Tom. He loves shoelaces.

[Greg Warren]

Does he?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah, I. I see I'm wearing these. In fact, in order to get these boots.

[Greg Warren]

Let's have a look.

[Tom Griswold]

Properly tightened. I have to use like a ice pick, and it tends to chew up the shoelaces, so I've had to buy more of them.

[Josh Arnold]

He uses like a hockey skate key.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And. And it chews up the laces. So I was just ordering some online yesterday. You know the weird thing about you got to pull them out of the shoe and measure them?

[Jess Hooker]

I just did that Saturday.

[Tom Griswold]

They come in so many different sizes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I'll let you take off. What do we. What can we learn about shoelace?

[Josh Arnold]

They don't lace splain to Greg. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

We make new words all the time.

[Greg Warren]

Well, I mean, I learned a few things. The oldest leather shoe is the Arini one. It had a leather cord lacing system on front and back seams. That was a shoe found in Armenia. Probably came from about 5,000 years ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Greg Warren]

Even back then, though, it sort of sounds like a Nike model, doesn't the Arini one?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Utsi. The Iceman from. From around 3500 BC they found shoes on him with laces.

[Josh Arnold]

Whoa.

[Willie Griswold]

More.

[Greg Warren]

More of a hemp lace. Tom, I know you're a lace man. I think we can all feel a little indebted to our man Harvey Kennedy. He was the first one to introduce the aglet.

[Josh Arnold]

Aha.

[Jess Hooker]

There you go.

[Greg Warren]

1790 in the UK that kind of changed everything in the. In the shoelace game. It was. It was a fray. Prevention.

[Willie Griswold]

Inter.

[Greg Warren]

Invention.

[Tom Griswold]

Were the early aglets made of metal?

[Greg Warren]

I believe they were, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And aglet, by the way, is a crossword puzzle standard.

[Greg Warren]

Oh, yeah, man. Yeah. Begin. Anything beginning with a vowel. But yeah, that's A good one.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. I, I have a home aglet kit. Craig.

[Greg Warren]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. They're little plastic things you put on, and then you have this little heating device and it melts it on the end.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I thought that was on the end.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, it's a little. It's like a little plastic. I think it's plastic.

[Greg Warren]

I, I gotta tell you. I mean, you can still get metal aglets.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

And. And.

[Greg Warren]

And that's a. That's a nice shoelace right there.

[Tom Griswold]

They come with a crimper. I opted for. Yeah, I opted for the plastic. I may have to get the metal one.

[Greg Warren]

They come with a crimper?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, like.

[Greg Warren]

Like you would use for a pastry.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. How do I describe it? It's like a pair of pliers. You go. And it, it tightens the metal thing around the lace.

[Greg Warren]

I, I see. This was interesting to me. Back in the day, the CIA would use lacing. They would lace their shoes in different manners to communicate to somebody in public, to another. Another agent. Isn't that pretty cool?

[Josh Arnold]

Right?

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, there was one CIA agent, probably a trainee or something. They would back me. Like, I did pretty good with the laces. You did. When you pointed down to the laces and winked that it sort of defeated the purpose.

[Tom Griswold]

So, like, if, if you skip one of the holes, would that mean something?

[Greg Warren]

I think so. I think so. You know, they didn't get into it, but I thought that was fascinating.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And brilliant.

[Greg Warren]

Now, the, The. The code of the Knights Templar banned the wearing of shoelaces as a vanity that was abominable and pagan.

[Tom Griswold]

How'd they tighten up their boots?

[Greg Warren]

I don't. I don't know. Now, the Knights Templar did a lot of fighting in the Crusades. I'm not sure they should be telling people what was abominable.

[Tom Griswold]

Good point.

[Greg Warren]

Did some, Some rough things. Do you guys know the. The full name of the Knights Templar?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Greg Warren]

The Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon.

[Mr. Obvious]

Wow.

[Jess Hooker]

All right.

[Greg Warren]

And, you know, some guy was. Is a real jerk about that when he was being introduced to. This is Sir John. He's a proud member of the Knights Templar of the Poor Fellow Soldiers of Christ.

[Tom Griswold]

And he'll be our. He'll be our. He'll be our feature tonight of Solomon,

[Greg Warren]

the assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford, menace to South Central while drinking juice in the hood.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, if I could interrupt, we're speaking with comedian Greg Warren. If I could interrupt. Josh has posited the following and I think he's correct. The guy that invented the Velcro shoe had to have thought. Josh had to have thought.

[Josh Arnold]

This is it. Laces are done. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Greg Warren]

And Josh, I think that was 19. Well, 1968 UMO was the first one with a Velcro no lace shoe.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Greg Warren]

But they seem to sort of fade out of style around the early 2000s.

[Tom Griswold]

You almost never see them. I think they may be handy for certain people with disabilities.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. And toddlers, the very old are the very young.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Now, there are elastic shoelaces that you don't need to tie. They're sort of pre laced that you can just sort of slip in and out of. So it's like you have a shoe. It's almost like a cross between a loafer and a tied shoe.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. Now these are really step ins.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I bought a pair of those and I hate them. I'm cutting those on and putting in real laces.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

You're a traditionalist, Tom. This is fascinating, guys. I mean, I learned so much about the different lacing patterns and then about different knots. I mean, I've been going with, I guess the bunny ear method.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Greg Warren]

My whole life. I didn't know there was another method.

[Josh Arnold]

No idea what.

[Greg Warren]

Let me suggest to all you guys and our listeners, the Berluti knot. It was pioneered by Olga Berluti. She. She was a member of the Berluti family. Berluti shoes, which are very nice shoes.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, she was big booty. Berluti.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Can you spell Berluti? I'm gonna look this up.

[Greg Warren]

B E R L U T T

[Josh Arnold]

I I believe B I G space.

[Tom Griswold]

No. So this is a different type of knot.

[Greg Warren]

And it's a man. It's an Tom as a shoelace guy, you got to start doing this. It's. And it's, it's very simple and it just looks a little cooler. I was doing it at Starbucks yesterday when I was doing my research for this project and I pulled the shoe up on, on the desk and I started watching a YouTube video and practice and, and this guy was just staring at me like this doesn't know how to tie shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

As someone who learned quite a few knots as a sailor. Oh, boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. This is really elegant.

[Greg Warren]

It's. The Berluti knot is. And it's very easy, man. It's basically making two. Two bunny ears. And then it's pretty good.

[Willie Griswold]

I, I do this, this is my party trick. I can tie my shoe in like under three seconds. It's it's very.

[Greg Warren]

No, wait a minute, Willie. I think you might be talking about the fight. The Fegan. Not.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, excuse me, the fee.

[Greg Warren]

The vegan knot is, is the one that goes real quick. I haven't perfected that one. That's Ian Fegan. Sort of.

[Josh Arnold]

No, he had a nickname too, but I won't tell you.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's saying, he's saying lead in Deep Purple for three years. No. And then, then Richie Blackmore kicked him out. Ian Fegan, of course.

[Greg Warren]

Ian Fegan is known as Professor Shoelace. Has, has a website out there of that'll tell you like 25 different ways to tie your shoes. There's also. So I, I really. Willie, I'd like you to teach the guys the, the Fegan knot that, that supposedly goes in like, like one second.

[Willie Griswold]

It's very quick. All you have to do is the initial, like, tie down thing and then it's just one, two, and you're done.

[Tom Griswold]

It's.

[Greg Warren]

It's, it's amazing.

[Josh Arnold]

And. But I, I. Oh, go ahead.

[Greg Warren]

I think Thomas more of a Berluti man.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I'm, I'm reading about it right now, and there's actually a place in this website where you get to rate the knot. Is there five stars or.

[Jess Hooker]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't wait to try it.

[Greg Warren]

Laugh it up, Tom, when you get into this Berluti stuff that you're going to be a Berluti man. I'm sure of it.

[Josh Arnold]

How's the untied percentage, Grace?

[Mr. Obvious]

Less.

[Josh Arnold]

Less.

[Greg Warren]

I didn't see any numbers on it, Josh, but from. I mean, they're saying very One pole. One pole.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay, okay.

[Greg Warren]

And yeah, yeah, they're saying it's very, very easy. Just, just the same as a bunny knot. It's just a little extra style, buddy.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. All right. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because is, is the bunny, not just the traditional. And then I do the double knot where you tie the two bows together.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yep.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah. I did the research to find out who invented the double knot and I couldn't find it. But, Tom, I'll say it one more time. Check out this Berluti.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm looking at the website right now. I'm very excited.

[Greg Warren]

There's different lacing patterns, of course. The crisscross is the traditional one that most of us use, pioneered by either Mac Daddy or Daddy Mac. I'm not sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. Both of them may have had a hand in that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Either way, that'll make you jump. It will. It will.

[Greg Warren]

It will. The straight bar. Did you guys have you are you familiar with this?

[Jess Hooker]

I do. I have a pair.

[Greg Warren]

Is the straight.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that's just. It's the straight across. There's no lace like.

[Greg Warren]

Jess, can you do it?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

Can you do it, Jess?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, yeah. It's.

[Greg Warren]

It's. It looks doable, that one. I was like, if I. If I worked on this for about a week, I think I could do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there an advantage to that or is it just the way it looks?

[Greg Warren]

It looks good. Let's. There's a. It's a smart. It's. It looks pretty cool.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. Well, I mean. And you guys know, for laces, Noah, our guy has the. The craziest waffle laced shoes you've ever seen, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I. I'll take a look.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, okay. Next time you see Noah, look at his shoes. They are. They are the most intense waffle pattern, both shoes. It's crazy. Yeah.

[Greg Warren]

And every time I see that guy, I get distracted by the even number of animals following him.

[Tom Griswold]

But,

[Josh Arnold]

you know, he. Look, maybe we should start listening to him. I don't know.

[Greg Warren]

Yeah, he's always talking about something, some impending disaster. I don't know.

[Jim Brewer]

Okay.

[Greg Warren]

Noah, Tie your shoes, dummy.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't care. Take your boat to Hawaii. See if they get any rain.

[Greg Warren]

The lock lacing. This looks pretty cool. I think I'd have probably taken off. Maybe I missed making the state cross country meet by nine seconds my junior year. And I think if I'd done this lock lacing system, I might have got there. Oh, it's. It's just. It's very simple. It's just sort of the last step. So look up. Lock lacing. Have some fun with that zipper lacing. Pretty showy. Maybe this Noah Florida fellow would be doing that. It's. It's. And a lot of tucking. A lot of tucking. And then the hidden knot. Suppose that's for photo shoots and it involves some, shall I say, row skipping.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy. I don't know if I. I don't know how I feel about that.

[Greg Warren]

I don't care for it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, our guest is comedian Greg Warren. We're reviewing the history of shoelaces. We have learned, among other things, that the CIA would communicate with their fellow spies with the patterns of their shoelaces. And then I know one guy got fired from the CIA for wearing loafers. Really throws them. Greg, we have to wrap it up. Can you give us the final word on shoelaces?

[Greg Warren]

I think that. I mean, I. The word I would say for you is Berluti.

[Tom Griswold]

It's ber. Please get that.

[Greg Warren]

I think you'll have a lot of fun with that. The movie that changed many of our lives. Cocktail with Tom Cruise. Of course. They discuss aglets in the movie and mockingly say that they're called Flugel binders or something. I think it was Elizabeth Shue that's said that.

[Josh Arnold]

And that's ironic, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Shoe.

[Greg Warren]

Yes. Yes. Yeah, yeah, I didn't think of that. Yeah, yeah. They discuss aglets a little bit in there. It's a great movie if you haven't seen it. Changed my life.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, cool. And check out Ian's shoelace site for more info on the Berluti shoelace. Not any live gigs coming up for you, Greg Warren.

[Greg Warren]

I got a big one in Springfield, Missouri, where I was born, where Josh's brother lives, I believe. On April 11, I'm playing the Galois Theater.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Greg Warren]

Pretty excited about that. And then, you know, Wednesday nights I'm on a television show called the Greatest Average American. It's a game show with Nate Bargettsky. Yeah. On abc.

[Tom Griswold]

Been watching. Very good, Very good. Greg Warren, once again. Pronounce it for me again. Gil Wa. What is it?

[Greg Warren]

It's Galois.

[Tom Griswold]

Galois Theater in Springfield. Saturday, April 11th for Greg Warren. Great. Stand up. Up. I highly recommend it. Please go see it if you're anywhere near Springfield, Missouri. Thanks, Greg.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Jess Hooker is at the news desk.

[Jess Hooker]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie G's at the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. Hey, man, there's Ace Cosby.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

We just spoke with comedian Jim Brewer. I thought we'd feature a little something from Jim. This is from his live stage act. He's on tour tonight in Des Moines at the Hoyt Sherman place. Then he's got coming up, Saginaw, Detroit, Indy and Fort Wayne all in the next five days. And then Newport, Kentucky, Columbus, Ohio, among others, the famous Agora in Cleveland, Utica, New York, at the Stanley and in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. So lots of shows for Jim Brewer, but here he is on stage with a classic tribute to acdc.

[Greg Warren]

And the most fun band I've ever seen is AC dc But the best is Brian Johnson. He comes out, they can take any song.

[Tom Griswold]

They all sound the same. It's always the same concert, but it rocks.

[Greg Warren]

They could take the Hokey Pokey and tear it out.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta come out like, put your left foot in,

[Greg Warren]

Put Your left foot out.

[Josh Arnold]

Put your left foot in.

[Greg Warren]

Then you shake it, shake it, shake it. On a boat doing the hookah poker. They always have a breakout like this. He sits like a hokey coy.

[Tom Griswold]

Crap.

[Jim Brewer]

You can never understand a word he

[Greg Warren]

says, but it sounds so awesome. All you hear him is say, you're ready.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to send it J. Keep your hands clapping and then your turn.

[Jim Brewer]

Crystal, you ready?

[Tom Griswold]

Repeat after me. One, two, three. Poke, poke, poke. This one. I want you to take out all your anger. Your wife makes it crazy. Your boss, you want to kick them in the nuts. One more.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Gravel scream.

[Josh Arnold]

Come out. One, two.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Jim Brewer, that is just so classic. Doing a little bit of Hokey Pokey. Jim on tour right now, doing his comedy.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, Tom, do you do the Hokey Pokey when you're at a wedding or. Or whenever it comes up?

[Tom Griswold]

I have done the Hokey Pokey. Ah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I used to. I used to DJ a lot of high school dances primarily, and I would always throw that in to see if I could get the, you know, get the crowd.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy. How did they, like. Did they like doing the Hokey Pokey at the high school dance?

[Tom Griswold]

No, they didn't like doing anything except

[Jess Hooker]

making out in the dark corners.

[Josh Arnold]

Hard to get them going, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yep. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Those first few songs. I don't. Man, you don't want to play anything. I mean, you just gotta. You gotta burn them, right? Yeah, they're burner songs.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was tough.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

I went to the skating rink recently with my nieces, and I was like, when do they play the Hokey pokey? And they looked at me like I was nuts. They were like, what are you talking.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a standard.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. What was the word you just said? They didn't. They didn't know anything about it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no. We gotta teach these kids about the Hokey Pokey.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it's one of the great things about the Hokey Pokey is it instructs you how to do the dance.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I'm a big fan of.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Do you think at some point it was a radio hit?

[Willie Griswold]

I can't imagine it was.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, then how the hell did it get so popular?

[Jess Hooker]

I bet it wasn't popular until after its time. You know what I mean? Like, people didn't appreciate.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's like. It's like the song Beans, Beans, the musical fruit. It's one of those. What is the origin? Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you see if they did. But it'd be great to have like one of the, one of the serious news guys. From NBC. Tonight, a special edition deep dive. Beans, beans, the musical fruit. We need to ask, where's the money going?

[Jess Hooker]

Greg can do it for his next report.

[Josh Arnold]

I think that may have been Greg's laugh. He seems a little put out.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have a little bit of a history lesson for you. We have an unusual story about a doctor that says men should, should, yes. Wipe after urination.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure. We'll, we'll find out. We'll, we'll be the judge of that. When we return to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. More of the show is on the way. You can find us on X at Bob and Tom or you can email us at Bob and Tom. Bob and Tom dot com.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Jess Hooker at the news desk. Willie G. Is@the orangeinsouls.com sports chair. Hey, there's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Josh Arnold. And there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Let you go back about an hour or so. I couldn't think of the name of something.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

What did it end up being?

[Tom Griswold]

I just remember what it was.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

We were talking about the high collar look.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

On capes.

[Tom Griswold]

On capes. Yeah. Because I was asking if, if I could wear a cape because we're doing something fun on Thursday morning. Lee's Famous Recipe chicken. I'm a big fan. They're sending us to Smoke justice in Covington. Smoke Justice, a great restaurant, of course. And we're going to be there doing our show in honor of the Red's opening day. And we do have some charity T shirts we've printed up. We got a brand new one this morning, actually. If you go to ababatom.com, our pop up store has them. We're donating the money to a great little charity called Brave Gowns. They make things like capes and little super hair outfits for kids in the hospital. Cheer them up a little bit. It's fun. And we've also made arrangements if you want to just make a donation to them and don't need a shirt, by all means do so if you want. And we got a link there. But I was thinking if I could pull off wearing a cape, I mean, can you imagine that? You're not saying anything.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I get in the car with Kelly. We're on our way to somewhere and she looks over and Goes, what are you doing? We're just going to a restaurant that we'd go to a nice place. I'm wearing a cap shape. See ya. Yeah, but you mentioned the high collar. And I have been popping up my collar to keep the sun off my neck when necessary. But I was trying to think of the word fleece.

[Jess Hooker]

Fleece.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a bunch of those fleece things.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

They're like jackets, but they're kind of.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, like a fleece.

[Josh Arnold]

Those are very nice.

[Jess Hooker]

It is a. It is a jacket. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

They're comfy.

[Tom Griswold]

I could not think of the word fleece.

[Jess Hooker]

They're warm.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, now, a couple quick things here I wanted to mention. Willie G is going to be part of our broadcast in Cincinnati coming up on Thursday. Also, you'll be at the Pittsburgh Improv with Frank Caliendo on the 21st of April. On the 22nd, you'll be at Hilarities in Cleveland on my birthday, you'll be at the Funny Bone in Cincinnati on the 24th. And lots of other stops with Frank Caliendo, including Columbus, Ohio, Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City, Missouri, all coming up. And once again, I wanted to mention Greg Warren. This is a huge thing and I'm going to try to get this right. He's going to be in Springfield, Missouri. I've got that much down. It's going to be Saturday, April 11th. And is it. It's not Gilois, it's Galois. Galois. I just assumed it had some French thing like Galore. No. No. Okay. Doing a great live show. That'll be a terrific show. Greg is getting better and better and better. He's a great standup. So if you get a chance to go see him in Springfield, Illinois, please do. Now, I was. I got a nice little note here. Josh is dealing with a pretty serious situation called. It's a medical condition called diverticulitis.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And as a result, you are, as we speak, only able to consume bone broth and jello.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I'm in that phase.

[Tom Griswold]

Not at the same time.

[Josh Arnold]

No. But usually back to back.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't have the chunks of jello floating in. Delightful. Bone broth.

[Josh Arnold]

No, please don't make this.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the bone broth hot or cold?

[Josh Arnold]

Very hot. Yeah. I can't. I don't want the cold bone broth.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Are you eating it in a bowl with a spoon or just putting it in a coffee mug and drinking it?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm mixing that. Putting it in a bowl and sipping from the bowl.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh? Oh, kind of Chinese style.

[Greg Warren]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Gives your affliction a nice international affliction. So someone asks, you go, I have a. I have Asian diverticulitis. How does it differ? Well, I use a bowl instead of a cup. I bring this up because there's a famous piece from this show that actually mentions diverticulitis.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I love this piece.

[Tom Griswold]

And I thought in your honor we would feature this. This. It's, I think, certainly one of the classics. Hey, beer drinkers, do you find that your beer not only fills you up, it binds you up. You need a beer that will help you loosen up. Introducing the beer that not only tastes great, it packs a mega high fiber wallop. It's the first beer that's also a laxative. We call it Shat

[Jim Brewer]

S H a

[Tom Griswold]

t apostrophe S Shats.

[Josh Arnold]

All the cats tip their hats to the man who's drinking Shats. The man who needs some fiber in his brew.

[Tom Griswold]

Shat and bear.

[Greg Warren]

And all is said and done.

[Tom Griswold]

We're not yet number one, but chats

[Josh Arnold]

is always number two.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi, I'm Phil Throne from the Schatz Brewing Company. Pour yourself a Schatz and see why it's making a splash all over the country. Shatz, the laxative beer Schatz is brewed with the highest quality hops and barley. Then we add our secret ingredient, whole kernel corn. Not too much, just a pinch. Every Schatz beer is fortified with 12 essential versions.

[Jim Brewer]

Vitamins.

[Tom Griswold]

So you're always guaranteed a good, healthy Shatz. Shatz is available in the 6 ounce Little Squirt or the 64 ounce Big Lager. And every Schatz is tapered at one end so your can won't slam shut. We here at Shatz are saddened by the recent passing of Adolph Shat, founder of the Shat family brewery, better known as the Old Brick Shat House. In fact, Adolf loved his beer so much, his last wish was to be interred in a giant vat of Shats. So come on, when it's time to take a load off, crack open a Shatz.

[Josh Arnold]

You will say hip hooray.

[Tom Griswold]

Cause relief is on its way.

[Josh Arnold]

No more irregularity for you.

[Tom Griswold]

Give a Shatz a pop and soon you'll hear a plop. Shatz is nature's perfect brew.

[Josh Arnold]

Shatz.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't just take any beer, take a Shatz. And for you teetotalers, try our new high fiber non alcoholic beer. We call it o'. Stool. O'. Stools. Sample one today. And don't forget Shat's light. Shat's Dark. And for those with diverticulitis, proctitis, and polyposis, doctors direct them to try new shats Red Shat's Beer, a division of Frigamol Industries, Flushing, New York. That is disgusting. That's hilarious. Thank you very much. I want to thank my old friend Dr. Bill for the diverticulitis peliposis clarification there at the end for shat's rest. Now we have sitting right over there in. Sitting in for Christy Lee, who I think is back tomorrow. It's a lovely Miss Hooker and Jess Hooker. What's going on in the world of news?

[Jess Hooker]

Some health experts say men should be wiping after they urinate. Professor Christopher Bunker, a dermatologist specializing in male genitalia. Ex. I didn't know you guys had dermatologists for your.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, this seems like a.

[Tom Griswold]

That seems like a really narrow field.

[Josh Arnold]

Mine has helped me get rid of the liver spots on the top.

[Tom Griswold]

What a weird. God, that's just so odd. Are there a lot of dermatological problems with the male member?

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know. I would hope not.

[Josh Arnold]

Or the testicles or.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, maybe.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

He says we now have strong evidence. Evidence that retained urine on the penis is a cause of yeast infections. This is new to me. Dysuria.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't know what that means.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know. It reminds me too much of diarrhea, tightening of the foreskin, and even penile cancer.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I mean, I. This, I think, is more of a foreskin issue. An uncircumcised issue.

[Jess Hooker]

That explains this. He advised the. The best. Best advice is to pass urine with the foreskin fully retracted.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, of course. I mean, I'm not even circumcised or. I am circumcised. And I know.

[Jess Hooker]

Right. To do that.

[Tom Griswold]

You just know from handling others. Yes, yes, Ramon, I'll be happy to help you.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. With the foreskin fully retracted, empty the bladder, then gently squeeze the male member a few times to expel any remaining urine.

[Josh Arnold]

Gently squeeze a few. I gotta shake 50 times.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta whack it against the wall. And then I. Then I blow off the tip of it like it's a revolver that's smoking.

[Josh Arnold]

After firing, do you spin it and put it back in?

[Tom Griswold]

It's a little showy. I mean, can you imagine if you're in the locker room.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're standing at a urinal, then you. Then all of a sudden you pinch it off, walk over to the stall, grab some paper, walk back, then walk back to flush it.

[Jess Hooker]

That's what he says after that, dry the area with dry toilet paper, not wet wipes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, duh.

[Josh Arnold]

Why would wet wipes be bad?

[Jess Hooker]

More moisture.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think that.

[Josh Arnold]

But that's what you use on babies.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I don't. Yeah, I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't know either. I mean. Yeah, I don't know that this. I've never had a yeast infection because I didn't toilet paper my wiener after I.

[Willie Griswold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you take the toilet paper and wipe off the seed or you just leave it for the next lady when

[Josh Arnold]

I pee on it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. A little gift.

[Tom Griswold]

You tend to lift up the seat in public restrooms.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, with my foot.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I absolutely lift the seat. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That'd be a good thing on a game show to have like a row of toilets. And part of the thing, you have to run up to it and pick the seat up with your foot because that. We all have different rituals.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I walk in, get either paper, preferably paper towels, if I want to lift that seat.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And then I hold on to that paper towel to put the seat back down.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

You keep it chicken. Then you can't. Then I go wash my hands.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that sounds right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I have also. I turned. I try to turn the water on holding a paper towel as well. Because if you think about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're filthy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. When you turn it off, your hands are clean. But when you turn them on, you're fresh from.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The whole Dumpsville.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The booger eating moron who was using the sink before you. In the unlikely event that he used the sink. Oh, this is terrible.

[Willie Griswold]

I approached a gas station sink that was so dirty the other day that I didn't even bother to wash my hands. I go. If I. If I interact with this, my hands will be dirtier than they were from when I started. Yeah, I'll wait. I'll wait 20 minutes. I'll find a new one. I can't do this.

[Jess Hooker]

No, I've been there. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a favorite sink to wash your hands at home or in here?

[Jess Hooker]

Here, here.

[Tom Griswold]

You ever notice I always wash my hands in the.

[Jess Hooker]

In the kitchen? Yeah, I've been in the way.

[Josh Arnold]

All right. So are you.

[Jess Hooker]

He comes in after the bathroom.

[Josh Arnold]

You come into the kitchen and wash your hands, Josh.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes, he does. He comes in like he's going in for surgery. He walks into the kitchen from the bathroom like this, and he stands there and stares at you if you're in the way. And then he washes his hands.

[Josh Arnold]

So what about the doorknob of the bathroom. Are you paper toweling it at least for us?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh God, yeah. Of course. I usually will wash pants in the bathroom, them paper towel, then wash them again in the kitchen.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, that is, that's the psychological

[Tom Griswold]

look around here. One can only imagine the spirochetes lingering on doorknobs, etc in this building.

[Jess Hooker]

You're not wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now coming up, we're going to cram in some history. There's I love this story coming up in involved. I mean it's a sad topic. Typically cremation.

[Jess Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And what one does with the cremated remains of loved ones. But there's a new twist of on it coming up in the news right now. I want to put a new twist on your credit cards. If you look at the numbers, if you've been using your credit cards, maybe you're a little behind and you start building up a balance on them and you can't, you don't pay it off. You may notice that the interest rate is sky high. It's often over 20% and that's legal, by the way. But you can get into a position in which all you're doing every month is just paying off the interest and that thing is not going to go away. So here's an idea from American Financing. If you own your home, it's probably worth a lot more than it was when you bought it. In the last several years, the average house in America is up 45 to 50%, depends on where you live, et cetera, et cetera. But you may have a lot more equity in that house than you think. And American Financing is all about doing a refi and knocking that those credit cards out of the way and paying that off and then you can move forward in your life. And they sent me some numbers. Their average savings currently is about 800 bucks a month. And they also have a thing going on, at least in the short term, I know for the next several days in which you might find yourself delaying a couple of mortgage payments. So this might be a good opportunity for you to get your head above water, get rid of that huge interest rate on that credit card debt and do a refi. So get the details. They've got a lot of numbers they'll like to run by you. This might be just the thing for you. I don't know. But you know better than I what's going on in your credit Life.

[Josh Arnold]

you're at the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Jess Hooker's at the news desk.

[Jess Hooker]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie Griswold is@the orangeinsouls.com sports desk. Hey, there's Ace Cosby. Hey, Josh. I'm Josh Arnold. And we'll be telling you a little bit more about orange and souls coming up here. There's Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we didn't had this weird news story. This doctor who's a dermatologist that specializes in the male genitalia, which has got to be weird. I mean, you're probably, there's probably a bunch of horrific skin ailments that can affect you down there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which would be a real drag. Yeah, I'm, you know, I, so I feel bad for, if you have any of those, I have my deepest sympathy. But he suggests that you wipe the male member after urinating.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if there are guys that, that carry around a, a handkerchief. Like, did you ever have a buddy that would carry around a handkerchief that would, One of my, my grandpa did, one of my college roommates my senior year. I, I had five roommates my senior year. And one guy, he, he, he carried on a handkerchief.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I have a handkerchief in my bag right now. I always have.

[Tom Griswold]

He'd blow his nose into it, then fold it up and put it back in his pocket. It was disgusting.

[Jess Hooker]

I don't full blow into it, wipe and dab.

[Tom Griswold]

And he, he would do just gross. And he wore glasses and every once in a while he'd take it and polish his glasses.

[Josh Arnold]

No way.

[Tom Griswold]

Absolutely.

[Jess Hooker]

You know what corner to go to? There's corners designated for things.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's disgusting. Kleenex.

[Jess Hooker]

Kleenex. They're so dusty. There's dust everywhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Anyway, I was just curious if anyone would do that. It's time now to check in history with our Today in History segment.

[Josh Arnold]

This is May 2nd.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you'll like this first one, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

You're a, is it, is it pronounced cinephile?

[Mr. Obvious]

Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You like going to the movies and

[Josh Arnold]

discussing the art of film? Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever had a first date with a young lady? Took her to a movie and I

[Josh Arnold]

said, are you ready?

[Tom Griswold]

Based on, based on her response to the film, you thought, never again. This is the only time.

[Josh Arnold]

Kinda, yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Do you have a talker?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh,

[Josh Arnold]

that hasn't happened.

[Tom Griswold]

I just met someone whose response to the film was so inferior in your mind that you just said, this person's an idiot. I can't possibly.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. What do you mean? You don't think Shrek 2 is incredible? See ya.

[Josh Arnold]

There was one girl who said she. This. This was only a few years ago, maybe. Well, you're going on 10 years. And she said she had watched look who's Talking with Her. Her daughter. And we've been dating a little bit. Not her daughter. This woman, of course. And she said, yeah, yeah, it was fine, except for all the antiquated gender roles. And I went, oh, she and I are not meant to be. Yeah, look who's talking. You're worried about.

[Tom Griswold]

I bring up cinema because. Happy birthday. Born in 1910. Akira Kurosawa.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah. You're Seven Samurai. Your yojimbo. A lot of classics from him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yojimbo.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yo, Jimbo. This says Rashomon.

[Josh Arnold]

Rashomon. Yeah. Yeah. Those are all his.

[Tom Griswold]

That sounds like a Bob Marley song. Rashomon. Vibration. Yeah. Positive vibration or.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Jamaican doctor hears about that. You have a rashoma.

[Tom Griswold]

I get the dermatologist for penises. Okay. Do you. Have you actually seen his films or you just pretend you've seen.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no, those are the three I've seen. I've seen. Oh, no, he did High and Low also. I've seen that. So I've seen High and Low, Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, and Rashima.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I prefer High and Lois. Classic comic strip. I'd like to say hello to the four people who get that out there.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember often skipping that.

[Tom Griswold]

You're welcome. I loved High and Low. Really? Oh, yes.

[Josh Arnold]

There was comedy there.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. I love. I love Comic Strip. Happy birthday, Vernor Von Braun. You know who that is, Willie?

[Willie Griswold]

I have no idea who that is. Who could that be?

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever see the Right Stuff?

[Willie Griswold]

I don't know.

[Jim Brewer]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a. He was the master of the rocket. He developed. He really advanced rocketry. And then there was kind of an awkward thing with V2s, and he ended up working for the US of A. And is responsible for a lot of the rocket technology that got us to the moon. So kind of cool. And now, happy birthday. My dad was born on this date 110 years ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Jess Hooker]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

That cool.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday, Dad. 1922, one of my favorites. Born on this date, the great actor Marty Allen.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Most famous, of course, for hello Dare. Always funny. You know this. I wish he got. Was not here today, so I can't. I'm pretty sure I don't know this to be a fact. I think that Marty Allen was actually on one of the same episodes of the Ed Sullivan show with the Beatles.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Allen and Rossi. Okay, that would be.

[Josh Arnold]

He had a shock of hair. Hello there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he had crazy looking hair when everybody had really short hair. And somewhere I have the hello Dare song, which I'll be happy to play for you. I understand that the. The anti drug people D A R E are there. Yeah. They're trying to buy hello Dare as a. Oh, happy theme for those trying to knock themselves off drug trucks. Happy birthday, Rick Ocasek from the Cars. Was that a wig, by the way?

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

He had that kind of weird jet black mop.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember hanging with the son and had same hair.

[Tom Griswold]

Really? Okay. I always was wondering if that was a wig. People who aren't familiar with their cars may be familiar with them from the beginning of that great song. Stacy's mom.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jim Brewer]

The.

[Willie Griswold]

This one's for you, Rick.

[Tom Griswold]

This one's for you, Rick.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's what they do.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's.

[Willie Griswold]

The song is a direct ripoff of the car. Well, yeah, I think they kind of had to.

[Josh Arnold]

I honestly never made that connection.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great song. Yeah, they. Yeah. Really is, right. They quite literally.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy. I don't. I'm not hearing it. What I'm. I'll listen to it again today, but in my memory.

[Tom Griswold]

Jason, could you grab Stacy's mom for me, please? Please?

[Willie Griswold]

The guitar solo, specifically. It's a really simple but kind of fun solo.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha. Yeah, I'll have to take a Listen.

[Tom Griswold]

Born in 1953. Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan. Chaka Khan. Famous for Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan. She's the. She's the short little gal that barfs when she gets out of the spaceship saying she was. Saying she was a car sick. Oh, that's actually a legitimate reference. There's a famous. There's a famous news article about. About Chaka Khan pulling up in a limo. The door opens and she pukes all over the.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it is famous. None of us had ever heard of it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's because. That's because your musical literacy. Most famous things is so limited.

[Josh Arnold]

One out of six. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I think that's more obscure than the previous obscure reference that I made. An old Friend of the show. Sadly no longer with us. Born in 1964. John Panett, one of the funniest guys. He was. I want to said he had a long stint on Broadway and was he in hairsports?

[Mr. Obvious]

Yeah, yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

The Travolta role from the movie.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He and I had a. We had dinner. He was such a nice guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Incredibly kind.

[Tom Griswold]

And he had a lot of jokes about food.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, he's probably most famous for his four hour. You've been here for four hours.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Chinese buffet joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And.

[Tom Griswold]

And he was also one of those guys every. He could point to every article of. Sorry. Every bit of food you're eating and tell you the calorie count.

[Mr. Obvious]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

He'd been kind of. He was really watching his weight and stuff. Just great guy.

[Willie Griswold]

When I was a kid, I'd come into the green room before. Before school, and he came in one morning. There used to be food every morning and it was like, like lunch food. And there was a delicious, like, cheesy potato casserole.

[Tom Griswold]

Awesome.

[Willie Griswold]

They used to bring in. And he talked to me about how much he loved that casserole for like five minutes. I was like, yeah, man, it's a pretty good casserole.

[Jess Hooker]

It's a good one.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. If you get a chance, check out Jon PANETT On. On YouTube.

[Greg Warren]

Just.

[Tom Griswold]

Just a funny as can be and a sweet, sweet guy. 1976. Happy birthday. Kerry Russell. Great actress. She's in what I think is the. My top 10 shows ever made on the Americans.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great show. I don't know. I don't know if it's in circulation right now, but it's just terrific events on this date in history. Oh, this is interesting. 1775. Josh, you know who said, give me liberty or give me death?

[Josh Arnold]

I do, but I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

He was an American.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, that's your hint. Yeah. I don't. Today my brain is not firing the

[Tom Griswold]

way PH are your initials Paul Harvey.

[Josh Arnold]

And then he followed it with.

[Tom Griswold]

With a good day. Of course. That was Patrick Henry.

[Josh Arnold]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Addressing the second Virginia Convention. And the story is he said that and got really nervous because he got crickets.

[Willie Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

What the hell's going on? Am I going to get shocked?

[Josh Arnold]

Nobody else is on. Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

This is incredibly obscure. And the only reason I'm doing this. I was doing some research on this yesterday, the term. Okay. I've always been interested in that. Because if you've traveled the world, you'll be in some random country and someone's speaking their particular language and it'll be know. Okay, that's good. No, really, I'm not kidding.

[Jess Hooker]

You're right.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. You hear it a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's. It's kind of universal. They tracked it down to vernacular English in Boston in 1839. It is an abbreviation of all correct spelled AO Excuse me? Spelled A, L, A L, L, K, O, R, R, E, C, T. Really? Which was this. They. That was. It was very popular in. In that era to spell things incorrectly on purpose. Which is so funny because that's now so huge in music. Wow. You know, there's so many speak. There are so many bands that deliberately spell the word wrong. But that was apparently the big fashion in 1839. But that's. But okay stands for all correct. Which is, I think, a little bit of a fun that no one appears to enjoy as much.

[Josh Arnold]

We all commented on it.

[Jess Hooker]

I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. That wasn't enough reaction.

[Willie Griswold]

Sometimes it's like you want us to throw you a parade every single morning.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm working on that with my kids. The Saturday morning parade Now, Josh, because I think I may have embarrassed you. But you're not knowing Patrick Henry.

[Josh Arnold]

You did not. But I appreciate. I'm going to give you an Easy okay.

[Tom Griswold]

1857. Elisha Otis. Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Elisha Otis installed what I'm gonna guess the first elevator.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good. At 488 Broadway in New York City. And I've ever read the story about this.

[Willie Griswold]

I have not.

[Tom Griswold]

He got it rigged up and he said to some guy standing there, you want to go first?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. I wanted to get on there. I wonder if it still functions functioning.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good question. I don't know. But I'm. I'm a huge Otis elevator fan. In fact, I have a medallion that the folks at Otis sent me. And I am brand loyal. I've taken the stairs, but if it's not a notice, I'm not getting in. I've also always wondered, does anybody ever go like. And read the security things, whatever they are, safety things on an elevator?

[Josh Arnold]

No. I noticed in the elevator it said that you. Behind the front desk.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That you have the.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If you want to see this thing, does anybody ever go down.

[Josh Arnold]

We've got to try it the next time.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'd like to see. Do you have the public file on your. The first telephone was installed in the oval office in 1929. Phone number one.

[Josh Arnold]

Just one?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Rutherford B. Hayes apparently had used a telephone in 1877, but it wasn't installed in the Oval Office until years later, so. Pretty cool. Yeah, I.

[Josh Arnold]

What year could you call International?

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a good question. I imagine it was pretty staticky.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And fairly. And fairly expensive. And I. I saw the photograph, and it would appear that the phone they installed in the White House was extra large and red. It looked like something from a Batman. Okay, I'm made that up. Here's another easy one. I'll give this to you, Ms. Hooker. Yes. 1965, the Beatles release the film. Help. I'm sorry? They begin filming the film. Help. Where did they film it?

[Jess Hooker]

I'm guessing in London.

[Tom Griswold]

No, famously, in the Bahamas.

[Jess Hooker]

I have. Yeah. I've never seen the movie.

[Willie Griswold]

He thought that was an easy one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, I'll make it. Okay. Where did. Where was the movie Thunderball filmed?

[Jess Hooker]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

James Bond, Thunderball, Sean Connery.

[Jess Hooker]

I haven't.

[Willie Griswold]

I have.

[Jess Hooker]

I've never watched Sean Connery.

[Tom Griswold]

Ended up living there. He liked it so much.

[Willie Griswold]

I would assume the Bahamas.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right, the Bahamas.

[Jess Hooker]

There you go.

[Greg Warren]

How about.

[Josh Arnold]

Where did this show go for once a year for about 20 years.

[Jess Hooker]

We could do that in the Bahamas.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I think Jess would have guessed it.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I went, boy, I showed up. And that ended. Huh. What the hell's that?

[Jess Hooker]

Well, lots of things in

[Josh Arnold]

Bahamas. Trips, comedy.

[Tom Griswold]

On this date in 1978, Billy Joel released the song just the way you are.

[Josh Arnold]

You like that one?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It's nice. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That's one of those ones that a lot of people don't care for. But I'm a huge. I'm a huge fan of his.

[Jess Hooker]

About his first wife, I think.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure which wife it was.

[Jess Hooker]

It's the first one. I watched the doctor You.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Greg Warren]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Cool, cool. And I think that'll do it for today. I do want to play this for you.

[Josh Arnold]

Josh, please.

[Tom Griswold]

We talk about the birthday of Rick Okasic from the Cars. And this is the song Stacy's mom.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And I'll take. I'll pay particular attention to.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is what?

[Josh Arnold]

Willie.

[Tom Griswold]

Written by and in. In a way for Rick Oasic. So this sounds just like the Cars to me. Wait a minute. Sorry. Here we go.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, yeah, right off the bat. You're right. You're exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

See that guitar right there?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What is he. The Rick thing right here.

[Willie Griswold]

I think it's before the solo or maybe only in the music video, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Stacy, can I come Over. Great song. The. A nice, simple, clean arrangement.

[Willie Griswold]

Love that song.

[Josh Arnold]

But, yeah, it's for sure there. It had been too long since I'd heard it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. Great song. Now, coming up, what have you got over there? In the world of news? We have something else to squeeze in.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

We have that story that you. That's kind of sad but kind of cool. Do you remember.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. About what you do with the cremated remains.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

My Uncle Clarence was in our garage. I hit a key in there. There.

[Jess Hooker]

By the way, did you have to dig around in the dust?

[Tom Griswold]

No, the. Well, kind. Sort of. Kind of. It was a silver box, a little smaller than a shoe box.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And you opened it up and there was kind of a piece of wax paper, but it wasn't sealed.

[Jess Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And then there was a heide key, metal thing in there the size of a book of matches.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So it got kind of dusty. My mom would always joke that Uncle Clarence was in the lock. Always. He was very elderly. Ah, Uncle Clarence. Every Christmas he would give me a silver dollar and he. He knew the guy on it.

[Josh Arnold]

Who's my pal.

[Tom Griswold]

Right now, I want to talk to our friends at Orange Insoles. If your bracket is busted, orange insoles is stepping up in shoes that are accompanied by orange insoles. And you can still win that 4K TV go to bobandtom.com contest. But, Josh, can you tell me more about orange insoles?

[Josh Arnold]

Of course I can. If you walk and work and maybe you stand longer than 10 minutes, then you have to sit down. And boy, if your knees don't sound like bubble wrap and you're groaning, well, you could benefit from orange insoles. Feet get tired, my friends. Arches collapse, heels ache, knees complain, lower backs tighten up. Most people just blame their age. Well, I guess this is what getting older is. It doesn't have to be. Orange insoles deliver rigid arch support that do not collapse by lunchtime. They've got deep heel cups that cradle your heels and absorb shock naturally. They help maintain alignment as your feet and legs fatigue, reducing stress on your knees and hips and lower back and your body and the things durable enough for work boots, but comfortable enough for everyday wear. And I really want you to pay attention. If you're a construction worker, if you're on job sites all the time, maybe you're working in hospitals, you're a teacher, you're a doctor, you're anybody who's on your feet all day. And even if you just, you know, get your 10,000 steps in, if you've ever said, my Feet are killing me. Well, Orange Insouls is for you. Visit orangeinsouls.com that's right.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

So go to Bob and Tom.com contest. This, of course, was a contest with the the bracket. And of course, I think your bracket is busted by now. It would appear a survey says most of Them are. So you can't win the million bucks anymore, I guess, but you can win a nice tv. So check out the details on that. In the meantime, Ms. Hooker, what's happening over there?

[Jess Hooker]

Spotify and the Water in a Can company known as Liquid Death have teamed up to create an urn that brings your favorite music to the cremated remains of a loved one.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that right?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. The music streaming service said the Eternal Playlist urn is a collector's item for anyone looking to take their love for music to the next level.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah. Do we know how it works?

[Tom Griswold]

The last level or the last? I saw a picture of it and it. There you go. It.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's got. Okay, the lid has a speaker in it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And it looks kind of like a cookie jar.

[Josh Arnold]

It's. It's classy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Just very simple. White.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jess Hooker]

Is that their logo on the bottom? Can you tell? It's hard to tell because it's like a white. I guess.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. It's the skull play, it's the scully kind of looking.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hooker]

And then the Spotify logo above that.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

But it's embossed, kind of. It's not boldly lettered.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's nice looking.

[Tom Griswold]

It's somewhat subtle. So in death you can.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. The press release reads, the Eternal Playlist urn is equipped with a discreet Bluetooth speaker built into the lid. Lid. The urn allows users to enjoy their favorite playlist for all of eternity.

[Tom Griswold]

So you could. I wonder if you can Alexa the thing.

[Jess Hooker]

Oh, yeah. Probably Bluetooth into it.

[Jim Brewer]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If your kids are doing it, all of a sudden you're going to spend eternity listening to who Let the Dogs out and Baby Shark.

[Willie Griswold]

Two great songs.

[Jess Hooker]

By the way, what would you pay for an urn like that?

[Willie Griswold]

I'm not very interested in it, so maybe like, I guess, 50 bucks. It's like a Bluetooth speaker, right?

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, a regular urn. Those. Don't those go for.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, you can pay as much as

[Tom Griswold]

you want, but I mean, even. Even the low end ones are.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they're still like a hundred bucks.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, this one is 495.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Jess Hooker]

But they already sold out, so.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh.

[Willie Griswold]

All right, man. Good for you.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I don't know. What is the cheapest casket you can get these days?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, geez, I don't know.

[Jess Hooker]

Maybe $2500.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's the low end.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, that sounds right.

[Tom Griswold]

I would think an urn. Because you don't want to just put it in. You know, like the things you'd put, you know, leftovers.

[Josh Arnold]

Like an old Cool Whip container.

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I have my urn. I found it at. At a antique shop. And so I was like, yeah, this is what I want to be in in.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah. I brought it home and said, here you go, guys. When it's time, this is where you put me.

[Willie Griswold]

Do you have it just sitting around your house?

[Jess Hooker]

Yeah, I have it on the mantel next to my mom's. I found one for my mom, too.

[Willie Griswold]

That's so you kind of get a pre more yourself.

[Josh Arnold]

We'll make sure you're buried with it

[Tom Griswold]

now, Josh, what kind of can gravy do you want to be put in?

[Josh Arnold]

I see.

[Willie Griswold]

There it is. There it is.

[Josh Arnold]

The answer is hind.

Podcasting is very intimate. That's why I'm shirtless. Oh my God.

[Willie Griswold]

Your weekly dose of absurdity and fun.

[Tom Griswold]

The things in life that we put up with simply because we don't get around to fixing them. And I let be a problem for much longer than it should be a problem because of the single problem of me. I'm the problem at the center of my life.
