Tone, Language & Style

The show maintains its hallmark fast pace, good-natured ribbing, and balance between nostalgia, sarcasm, and contemporary humor.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the bob and tom show. I always heard that his herb was top shelf. I just could not wait to find out for myself.

[Willie Griswold]

Don't knock it till you've tried it. Well I've tried it my friend and I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Tom Griswold]

I learned a hard lesson in a small Texas town.

[Willie Griswold]

He fired up a fat boy and

[Tom Griswold]

he passed him around the last words I spoke before they tucked me in

[Willie Griswold]

I'll never smoke weed with Willie again. I'll never smoke weed with Willie again. My party's all over before it begins. You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend but I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Tom Griswold]

I hopped on his old bus the honeysuckle road.

[Willie Griswold]

The party was Vegas.

[Tom Griswold]

It was after the show alone in the front lounge just me and him

[Willie Griswold]

with one parting puff. Grim creeper sat in I'll never smoke ween with Willie again. My party's all over before it begins. You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend but I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we're passing the guitar telling good jokes

[Willie Griswold]

I know ones are coming cause I'm smelling smoke

[Oliver Pardo]

no I do not

[Tom Griswold]

partake I just let it pass by

[Willie Griswold]

with a smile on my face and

[Tom Griswold]

a great contact high.

[Willie Griswold]

I'll never smoke weed will it again. My party's all over before it begins. You can pour me some old whiskey river my friend but I'll never smoke weed with Willie again.

[Tom Griswold]

In the fetal position with drool on my chin

[Willie Griswold]

I messed up and smoked

[Jimmy Pardo]

weed with Willie again.

[Josh Arnold]

Always good to hear that. A little bit of a Bud.

[Tom Griswold]

Roll another one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, there are some just great weed songs out there. Maybe we should in a second, talk about the greatest.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This is why we need K Tel to come back. Yes, those television offers, you get the best of marijuana.

[Josh Arnold]

This is the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto. There's Christy Lee at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Matt Godwin's there.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie g. @the originsouls.com sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Ace Cosby across the way. Hey, Josh. I am Josh Arnold, and there is Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Tell you what, I'm gonna ask Ace to weigh in on this one. Maybe Christie's been here long enough, but this building is now smoke free.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There was a time. I don't wanna mention any names. Kerry Carlson, music director. You'd walk in this building and there was the member of the music office where she had like a thousand record albums. And there seemed to be a. An odor emitting from that office pretty much 24 7. I'm just saying. And what a terrific DJ, by the way.

[Christy Lee]

She's I friends with her on Facebook. She's.

[Tom Griswold]

She's still out there.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, she's still out there.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Michigan somewhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Great voice. But I'm not necessarily saying she was the one smoking the.

[Christy Lee]

No. God, no. We were.

[Tom Griswold]

There might have been mice in there, but. Yeah, the building currently smoke free. But you're right, Josh. There are a lot of great marijuana songs.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, there are. Sitting around the Shanty. That's a good one.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. And put a good buzz on.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Jonathan Edwards, I love his voice.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course, my favorite, the Fraternity of Man. Don't Bogart that joint featuring the great. Or Rishi Hayward on drums. Which is why Little Feet in their great live album, Waiting for Columbus, recorded that song. Willie G, can you think of any other great marijuana songs?

[Willie Griswold]

Purple Haze, that's the big one, right?

[Tom Griswold]

I think that's considered to be an LSD reference.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, because now Purple Haze is a kind of weed. So I thought that it was. I thought it was a chicken or egg thing, which was first.

[Tom Griswold]

Good question. I think it. I think it was more of a. Oh, I'll. That may require a lot of hip hop.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The. The chronic.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Dr. Dre. I love that.

[Willie Griswold]

That's a great record. The Chronicle, Dr. Dre.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you guys ever heard.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't sing along with that record with a top down in Vegas,

[Willie Griswold]

you'll end

[Tom Griswold]

up like Tupac,

[Josh Arnold]

Cypress Hill's, hits from the Bong are good,

[Tom Griswold]

but from a larger point. Again, if you're of a certain age, you don't remember, but they used to have these, these K Tel compilations and it would be the best TV themes or any given topic.

[Christy Lee]

They sell them late at night on tv. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Be a couple walking on a beach, sunset.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh yeah. I remember like falling asleep watching like Cosby show at Nick at night or something. And then you wake up at 2am and it's just like it's all the hits that you've never heard before.

[Josh Arnold]

Yacht rock classics in $1 199 collection.

[Willie Griswold]

And just somebody sitting at home going, honey, they finally have it and only for $199.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the same thing with. They used to have those Time Life series.

[Josh Arnold]

Man, those were. I was always fascinated by those commercials.

[Tom Griswold]

But again, those are. As far as I know, those are also gone.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you know a guy Skydove and his parachute didn't jump or open and he lived. Read about it in the Time Life. I was like, we've got to get those.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Hook, line and sinker, man, I'm already in.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, well, we missed the compilations and we've been talking a lot lately about walk up music. And I've got a bunch of samples today of folks that have written in what their walk up music would be, including one genuine walk up music piece from a baseball player.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, cool. I think that the compilation albums now are for parents because of those K Pop. What are they called? The ones that Kids Bop. Kids Bop because they do those and they. They remake its songs and put them on a compilation.

[Tom Griswold]

I think that's a British company.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. My children have grown. I don't know what the cutoff age is, but my children would rather listen to the real artists now. But.

[Christy Lee]

Right. But when they were little or my kids when they were.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah. And it's. I was really surprised that one of the ones they did was that Shut up and dance.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because the word shut up was. You don't say that. That was kind of a curse word for little kids. But yeah, those were terrific recordings. That's the worst live show I've ever seen. If that's coming out again, skip it Kids. It was terrible. It was literally kids.

[Willie Griswold]

You're telling kids to skip the Kids Bob concert.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because it was completely fake. It was all. There was no band.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. But the kids don't care.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was low. It was just a bunch of. They went to some crappy dance school and got four Kids didn't know how to dance.

[Willie Griswold]

I think that you are ruining your worldview by continually showing up to places where you don't belong. You don't like basketball games, you don't like football games, you don't like. Of course, you know, like a kid's pop concert.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I mean, I was there. It was on the lawn. It was a beautiful setting. But I took the girls and even they were disappointed. I mean, it was literally like five guys kind of in bear costumes sort of, kind of just lumbering around. It was not. I've seen lots of great quality kids shows. That's not one of them. I'm just telling you, the Wiggles put

[Christy Lee]

on a hell of a show.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure. And I've been to. I've been to every Disney on Ice, every variation on that, but that's. That is the worst show I've ever seen. The least talent and the least effort to make it. They were essentially, there's some guy backstage playing a tape recorder with a bunch of. With some amateur dancers. It was pathetic. Now maybe they've improved it, but I'm sure someone else that went there and spent, you know, 300 bucks on a babysitter in seats will. Will agree with me. Now today on the show, we have a kind of a cool thing, kind of a surprise. We have our good friend comedian Jimmy Pardo and special guest Oliver Pardo.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Jimmy's son, who is also working on some standup. I've already got a letter from someone who saw the show recently, said it was great. We'll have Jimmy in here. Also coming up, Ally Breen with Sexy Time. And in just a few minutes we're going to play some more walk up music. I'd also kind of wonder, you mentioned Pat not playing a certain song in a convertible in Vegas. Yeah, because of language. I wonder if there are certain. If anyone ever gets pulled over by the police for having really loud music that's also obscene.

[Willie Griswold]

That's a great question.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that recently I've experienced this in a slightly different context while skiing there. There are people that, they have like these backpacks with these huge speakers on them and I hate those.

[Willie Griswold]

Just day ruiners.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You know, if you want to listen to music, put on your headphones and ski into a tree. But you don't have to share it with all of us.

[Christy Lee]

Part of skiing, getting out in nature and enjoying the quiet.

[Willie Griswold]

That's what I think. It's the same thing when people bring like a Bluetooth speaker to the beach.

[Christy Lee]

I agree with you.

[Willie Griswold]

It's like, man, the beach is good enough on its own. You don't got to bring extra stuff here.

[Christy Lee]

I want to hear the waves overload. I don't want to hear Katrina and the waves.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a good time.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that song.

[Christy Lee]

We all love the song.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Walking on Sunshine.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, but I don't want to hear it at the beach.

[Tom Griswold]

And it wasn't even ruined by Hurricane Katrina.

[Josh Arnold]

No, they'll still play it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's a good song. Whereas Dire Straits Money for Nothing. They don't play that one anymore. Speaking of, you had a dumb story yesterday about. What was it called? Forest bathing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Nature bathing. Yes. Did you see that after I talked about it?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, no, I just. I would.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's.

[Tom Griswold]

In other words, it. Going for a walk in the woods is the. It just seemed that this is just renaming.

[Christy Lee]

Walking around an urban North Carolina arboretum is asking people to come bathe in nature to wash away the stress, if you want. Well, there's a foresty. There's a forest therapy guide. Yes. Sean Ramsey jingles a tiny brass bell, calls her dozen or so charges to gather for meditation, breathing exercises, and to commune with nature.

[Tom Griswold]

But they call it a forest bath. If you want to. If you want to lose your stress, don't bathe in the river. Throw your phone in it. That'll. That'll probably help. Do we have to rename everything?

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean?

[Tom Griswold]

Going for a walk in the woods is now becoming bathing in Nature.

[Josh Arnold]

That's their promotional deal.

[Christy Lee]

I kind of like it. It sounds sweet.

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like some dude bag on Tick Tock thought it up. Well, what's an arboretum? Yeah, this is an arboretum right next to us.

[Josh Arnold]

Fancier. Arby's.

[Willie Griswold]

All the vintage stuff in there.

[Christy Lee]

Now I want Arby's.

[Tom Griswold]

Get the guide. It's the Arboreto Supreme. The arboretum. The Arboretum supreme would be, I don't know, Yellowstone. It's just a wooded area. This is. Oh, I never knew that. We had one at my high school. That's the reason. I know that word.

[Christy Lee]

You had one at your high school?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there was.

[Christy Lee]

You could go out in nature at lunchtime.

[Tom Griswold]

I know.

[Willie Griswold]

There's one at IU that I know about, but that's like a major institution.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that was seriously, growing up, there was this patch.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

It was probably five acres of woods.

[Willie Griswold]

It's just crazy that university school is as distinguished as Indiana University. I didn't know you guys had the same donor.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a quite distinguished alumni.

[Josh Arnold]

I'M sure.

[Tom Griswold]

But that's the only reason I know the word arboretum.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

So anyway, this is a whole thing about. What is it again? Forest bathing?

[Christy Lee]

Nature bathing.

[Tom Griswold]

Nature bathing.

[Willie Griswold]

It sounds silly. It sounds like a scam. Also, it sounds like I'd really enjoy it if someone would fuck me too. I'm sure it's like $400 for an hour, whatever this is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Instead of just going out, walking through

[Christy Lee]

the woods, go out in your backyard.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to go with other people. And they say, what isn't it to get away from horrible news? Unless you stumble upon someone digging a shallow grave with a suspicious looking bag.

[Josh Arnold]

What's in that sleeping bag?

[Tom Griswold]

Why is that sleeping bag wrapped in Visqueen? Okay. Anyway, coming up we have fascinating stories about. About nipples. I. This is one of those stories, when you hear it, you're gonna kind of, kind of cringe and put your hand over your nipples, just in case. You'll see what I'm. You'll see what I mean. Coming up. Also we have coming up in the news something new called frambled eggs.

[Josh Arnold]

Frambled, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Frambled, all right. It's just a new name for something that I've done by mistake.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you're a frambling man.

[Tom Griswold]

I am a framlin man. And it does remind me about. I keep thinking Peter Frampton. Do you cook like I do?

[Christy Lee]

I was thinking Lord. Did you? What is the Lord?

[Tom Griswold]

I was born a friend.

[Christy Lee]

Were you born a frambling man?

[Tom Griswold]

That's a. That's Dicky Betts tune. Oh yeah, from the Allman Brothers Band. Great. Walk up music. Now, right now, I want to talk to you about opening up the mail. I'm not a fan. Go to the mailbox. Bills, bills, bills, bills. That one bill your credit card may be. There may be a pretty hefty balance on that. And if you read the fine print or you notice the amount of the check you're writing every week and how it's not diminishing the amount you owe. That's because you're paying a lot on interest, often over 20% interest on credit card debt. So this is an interesting way to perhaps get out of. This might work for you, depending on your situation. If you own your own house, a lot of houses are worth a lot more than they were just a few years ago. The average house in the United States has gone up substantially, in some cases 30, 40, 50% just by sitting there and you're paying the taxes and paying the mortgage. But perhaps you could take advantage of the increase in the equity by refinancing that house. Take that extra money, pay off those credit cards. The folks at American Financing sent me some interesting figures. They've just done some average stuff. This may or may not apply to you, but right now they're writing a paper that the average savings is about 800 bucks a month, not to mention the fact that they've got a thing going on and I think it's still going this week. You could possibly delay two of your mortgage payments. So see what I'm talking about? This might be for you. Visit american financing.net and you can even go to americanfinancing.net BobandTom Find out about taking advantage of the house you're sitting in. One friend of mine said his neighbor sold the house and he could not get over the fact how much money this guy got for his house because he says mine's worth more. But I paid, you know, a lot less because that's just what's going on in the marketplace right now with housing. So you may be able to take advantage of that with American Financing.

It was okay. I never know. I'm never like a guy with a sports desk or anything. And now there's a thing before my name and it throws me all the way up.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello. With a very cool KISS hat today.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Had to wait for Jamie Pardo.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that is good.

[Josh Arnold]

Jimmy Pardo and his son Oliver Pardo will be joining us later.

[Christy Lee]

KISS fan, too. I Believe.

[Tom Griswold]

And by the way, it's important to note Jimmy Pardo was not drafted into the KISS Army. He volunteered, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he did several tours of duty.

[Josh Arnold]

I am Josh Arnold. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Just saying. Yes, yes, that's what I heard. A couple quick notes. Jimmy Pardo and Oliver Pardo, tonight only are gonna be at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington. And I believe there's already a sold out show, but there's a second one added while I'm at it. Nick Griffin will be at Comedy Off Broadway, Lexington, Kentucky this weekend beginning tomorrow night. And then he's gonna be in Boise, Idaho at The Comedy Lounge, April 30 through May 2. Doesn't the Comedy Lounge sound relaxed?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it does.

[Tom Griswold]

No hilarity. We're lounging around. Chuckles only, please. No guffawing over there, sir. It's the Lounge.

[Christy Lee]

Sounds like a comedy club in Britain.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of Britain, coming up we have a great story about. About the male member and British slang for it.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, I hate this stuff. Is it my name? Is that what this is? Number one, British losers, Sam Redcoats.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I think have a letter from

[Christy Lee]

the UK this week.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll get to it in a second. But yeah, Willie is the number one peen, if you will. By the way, while I'm at it, a couple of plugs here. Tim Cavanaugh coming up this Friday and Saturday at Mason City Limits in Mason City, Illinois. And interestingly enough, the opening act, Johnny Kavanaugh. But it's Kavanaugh with a K. It's not Tim's son?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Uncle.

[Tom Griswold]

Brother.

[Willie Griswold]

No, he's very funny.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Johnny's a good dude.

[Tom Griswold]

Friend of ours. Yeah, but so. Because we got Jimmy and Oliver Potter. But as far as I know, they are related. Yeah, the DNA test is coming. We'll find out what.

[Josh Arnold]

But the Kavanaugh boys, unrelated, more importantly,

[Tom Griswold]

Greg Warren is doing a very special Homecoming Show, Saturday, April 11th in Springfield, Missouri. This is a huge show at a beautiful theater and Greg is better than ever. He's great. He's gonna be. Is it pronounced the Galois? Yeah, the Galois Theater in Springfield, Missouri, Saturday, April 11. Greg is also the co host and announcer on the Greatest Average American with Nate Bargazzi tonight, ABC television. You can check out that cool family game show. And lastly, the Columbus Funny Bone tomorrow night with Haywood Banks. Just. Just a whole bunch of cool.

[Josh Arnold]

There is also a great show Saturday night in Tiffin, Ohio. Oh yeah, at the Ritz Theater. Kostaki Economopoulos, Jeff Oskay and a Yet to totally be determined.

[Tom Griswold]

Third,

[Josh Arnold]

I'll just be flat out honest. It's supposed to be me. I have not been cleared by. By medical professionals to go, dude. So we're working on it.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean mental health professionals. We'll move forward here.

[Willie Griswold]

Listen to your body, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Listen to your body.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'll. Oh, and lastly, I guess this show tomorrow will be originating from a place called Smoke Justice, Covington, Kentucky. As part of the celebration, the opening day broadcast, we like to call it celebrating the opening day for the Cincinnati Reds. We will be at Smoke justice tomorrow at this time. Brought to you by Lee's famous recipe chicken. Very tasty. Now, having gotten rid of all of the things I'm supposed to get rid of at this point, we will turn to our letters and Christy, do you have a letter over there?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, this is from the uk. Listen every day. Good morning, Matt. Heard you talk about smells and wanted to pipe in. In Bourneville in the uk, there's a cricket field we used to play on when we were standing in the field. Imagine an outfielder in a baseball game. Okay. That's how he puts it. Every 30 minutes, the smell of chocolate would drift over from the next field by Cadbury Chocolate Factory. In fact, if you look up Bourneville, it's the home of Cadbury and a lot of. Apparently the area is painted purple. Is the Cadbury egg purple?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, their branding is purple and stuff.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of a prince thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Living near a chocolate factory would be great.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it would.

[Tom Griswold]

We've been getting a lot of. Of emails from people that live near various either factories or some are better than others.

[Christy Lee]

As a kid growing up, you know, Pop Pop Charlie worked at Hershey Factory, my grandfather. So it. We were there quite a bit in the summer times, and as a little kid, it was always very, very chocolatey.

[Willie Griswold]

Pop Pop Charlie was your grandfather?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

That's a cool name. Charlie sounds like a Mark Twain character.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know Choo Choo Charlie?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. Oh, he didn't talk much. Oh, Pop Charlie.

[Tom Griswold]

Choo Choo Charlie was who. Now I've seen terrible things. Was that a serial thing or was that a song?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. Did you just make that?

[Josh Arnold]

I thought you were making it up.

[Willie Griswold]

No, it was like an auxiliary Thomas the Tank Engine character or something.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it may have been a candy.

[Willie Griswold]

It's a candy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone get on that Charlie.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Okay. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

But did Choo choose Charlie with a Charleston Chew? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it was like. I think it was a round candy

[Willie Griswold]

that we saw at the movie theaters.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Is it chew like. Like you chew gum or chew like food?

[Josh Arnold]

Like, hey, by the way, you're East Coast. You're.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah, you know me.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. When you would have sprinkles on your ice cream, did you call them Jimmy's?

[Willie Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Sprinkles.

[Josh Arnold]

Gotcha.

[Christy Lee]

There's a Choo Choo Charles, which is a 2022 survival horror game.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I doubt that.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, here we go. Choo Choo Charlie, a classic advertising character from American television commercials. Oh. He was the engineer mascot for Good and Plenty Candy, Possibly the worst candy ever made.

[Christy Lee]

I don't remember Choo Choo Charlie.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. It was like licorice coated in candy.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they still.

[Christy Lee]

They still make that? Of course.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I never cared for it.

[Tom Griswold]

Awful.

[Christy Lee]

They're painting black.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But it proved the ability, the effectiveness of advertising. And I remember getting it thinking, it's so great because of Choo Choo Charlie. And it is. C H O O. Choo Choo Charlie. Yeah. Have you ever had Good and Plenty Willie? It is.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't think so, man.

[Christy Lee]

Pink, black and white. They're licorice.

[Tom Griswold]

Or cover with a hard, hard candy shell. I will give it this. There is plenty of it, but it is not good.

[Willie Griswold]

There are a few candies where you have a bite and you go, what were they thinking on this day at the factory?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's just one of those things where some people like it and others don't. What's. Drew Hastings is a big licorice guy.

[Christy Lee]

It's like cilantro.

[Tom Griswold]

That's bit. Oh, honey.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Oh, I like bito.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you like? Oh, yeah, Bit. Oh, honey. Remember that one?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I never cared for bit O honeys.

[Tom Griswold]

That's an acquired taste.

[Christy Lee]

It would get stuck in your teeth.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. I see. Now we are visiting the world of. Of walk up music and we have received many, many letters about what would be an appropriate bit of walk up music. But before we get to that, we were talking about Josh's idea of having a compilation of tributes to cannabis marijuana reefer.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you could easily. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I mentioned this one. This is a personal favorite of mine, featured in the movie Easy Rider, which is somewhat dated, but a true classic, which we were talking about the other day. This is the fraternity of man,

[Oliver Pardo]

Kind

[Tom Griswold]

of a traditional pedal steel country sound in tune.

[Christy Lee]

I don't remember this one.

[Tom Griswold]

Sung by a bunch of hippies. Here it comes. Don't bogart that joint, my friend. Remember it now, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Nope.

[Oliver Pardo]

Pass it over to me.

[Josh Arnold]

They actually play this on Outlaw country.

[Christy Lee]

I heard it on this show, but

[Tom Griswold]

before that joint, my friend, pass it over to me. There's a really good part coming up. Here it is. Roll another one. Just like the other one. Now, see, this was back in the day when things are too slow. No, Pat, this was back in the day when it's my understanding that today's marijuana is. I just heard of a scientific analysis and this guy, this doctor goes, well, if you smoke marijuana in the 70s, today's marijuana is approximately 30 times stronger.

[Willie Griswold]

I don't know if I believe this anymore because we were talking about this though, and people always complain like boomers. Oh, yeah. Back in our day, the weed didn't do anything, but it's like, yeah, but your ibuprofen had cocaine in it. Everything else was so crazy. All your pharmaceuticals were. If you had a headache, your mom would rub morphine on your gums.

[Josh Arnold]

That was a little earlier than the 70s.

[Willie Griswold]

My timeline might be up.

[Tom Griswold]

That was the 1870s. But. Yeah, but back in the day, the joints would be passed around. And it's my understanding today, one puff and you're on your ass. Much like in the song I Won't Smoke Weed with Willie Again that we began the show with. But the fraternity of man on that song appears on the Great Little Feet live album, Waiting for Columbus. Also highly recommended.

[Josh Arnold]

The. The whole Easy Rider soundtrack's pretty good.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's great.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's where Steppenwolf.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That became a staple. Born to Be Wild.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

By Steppenwolf.

[Christy Lee]

I do know that song.

[Josh Arnold]

And Pushers on there too.

[Tom Griswold]

And Pusherman.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But Easy Rider was kind of just another biker film, but it became a huge cultural, Cultural moment. And Jack. That's where Jack Nicholson got famous.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Followed by a couple of other great movies. Now, we have asked you for your walk up music and we're. We're compiling a bunch of it right now. This is a really good one. And this guy was actually in here. He had a. Another big hit. This is from his band, a Canadian dude. Here we go. This is.

[Josh Arnold]

This is great walk of music. I know the name of the song. Song. I don't remember the artist.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Red Rider.

[Josh Arnold]

Red Rider.

[Christy Lee]

Eminence Front.

[Tom Griswold]

No, that's a gross. That'd be a good. No, this is Lunatic fringe.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember 10 year old Josh going, I haven't heard this Pink Floyd song.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like Run Like Hell.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, the guitar and the vocal effect.

[Christy Lee]

This is a great song.

[Tom Griswold]

And this guy had a. He had a solo hit ride Life is a Highway. Life is a Highway. Yeah, I like that. What's his name?

[Christy Lee]

Tom Cochrane.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. He was in a Nice Guy, but

[Josh Arnold]

Tom Cochran was in Red Rider.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow. I never knew that.

[Christy Lee]

Life is a Highway is a great.

[Tom Griswold]

That is. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

I prefer the Rascal Flats version.

[Josh Arnold]

He might just. Because he came up with it with the same one. It is very similar.

[Christy Lee]

But

[Tom Griswold]

yeah. Just yesterday my 10 year old daughter walked by me and she was singing some old songs. Where did you hear that? And of course it was it. It's from the movie. Yeah, it's from Stranger Things.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Because all the 80s music on there.

[Tom Griswold]

Great soundtrack.

[Josh Arnold]

That's Tom Cochran singing Lunatic Fringe.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh my. My mind is blown.

[Tom Griswold]

Dude.

[Willie Griswold]

Wow, this is a big day for you. Remember where you were.

[Josh Arnold]

He's Canadian,

[Tom Griswold]

So that means it's 5% less. What is the exchange rate? I forget. Once again, great walk up music.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That.

[Tom Griswold]

That is a terrific one. But you. You raised I'm an Eminence would be a good one.

[Christy Lee]

Starts similar to that. That's why I got.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a great song that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's my favorite who song.

[Willie Griswold]

That's Pete Townsend, baby singer.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, that and then in the. In the video, Roger Daltrey playing a little guitar. That's a terrific.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what an imminence front is.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

He's fake.

[Josh Arnold]

I've asked every meteorologist look at me like I'm crazy.

[Christy Lee]

It's not warm. It's not cold. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In any event, this is an interesting one here. This comes to us from Bob in Northwood, Iowa. And he goes. I'm a lifelong fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes. When Hayden Fry was the coach of the football team, they would celebrate in the locker room by doing the Hokey Pokey. And the. The original. I believe. This is the.

[Josh Arnold]

Are they saying right or white?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I think the white is guaranteed and implied.

[Willie Griswold]

If this is how you're celebrating your team, you guys, you have some great shooters, man.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean you.

[Willie Griswold]

You guys are just 100% from three. If that's what you're listening to after

[Josh Arnold]

the game, that's cool because it takes so much confidence to be that silly.

[Willie Griswold]

Just because these are no very fundamental players. They're not driving to the basket, they're just going up, taking shots.

[Tom Griswold]

That's great though.

[Josh Arnold]

That's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's fun. And do we know the name of the band? Is that the famous version of the Hokey Pokey, pokey. I didn't know there was a thing.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know there was a famous.

[Tom Griswold]

But I think that's the one they always play.

[Josh Arnold]

But it had to start somewhere. I think it probably got some radio play at some point.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It had to start.

[Christy Lee]

There weren't a lot of choices. Way back when radio started well, and

[Willie Griswold]

then they had to take it off the radio because people were just taking their hands off the wheel, putting it out the window. Rashes.

[Josh Arnold]

Seat belts weren't even a thing.

[Tom Griswold]

They didn't have safety glass. Most people died from severed carotid arteries. That's enough good news for you this morning. What was I going to say? What did you just mention?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, this is interesting. Coming up in today in history. I was just looking it over a few minutes ago. I don't know if anybody will remember this, but it was on this date many years ago that they debuted what would now be referred to as the country chart.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As you know, Billboard magazine, they have, whatever it might be, the rock chart, they had. Adult contemporary, they called it for a while, whatever that means. They had the so called soul chart.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is then evolved into the black chart, I believe now it's called the urban chart. I don't even know what the. But they would give them all names. Wait till you hear the debut name for what is now the country chart. It might be considered somewhat pejorative.

[Christy Lee]

Well, then why are we bringing it up?

[Josh Arnold]

It's not that bad.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a word we can say.

[Tom Griswold]

We're bringing it up.

[Christy Lee]

Western chart.

[Tom Griswold]

We're bringing it up because we're trying to show the evolution of the sensitivity of contemporary culture.

[Willie Griswold]

Is it too sensitive or kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, we can say it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it's not like I could call.

[Josh Arnold]

I could call you in right now and you.

[Christy Lee]

I could guess what it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Unfazed.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, I can guess. Well, don't guess out loud. We're trying to keep people listen. I just guess that it was quiet.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, I went with something different.

[Tom Griswold]

Let me see. Write it down.

[Christy Lee]

Did you. Can you see that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's it.

[Christy Lee]

Is that it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. Very good, very good. Now we have a match. I win that coming up. Among many other things right now. Can you give me just a very quick preview of what's happening in the world of sports?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, you guys, we're gonna talk about the sweet 16. We've got Paul George talking about returning from his suspension. We have Joe Flacco agreeing to terms with the Bengals for next season. A lot of fun stuff going on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's cool. Joe Flacco back in uniform. And also Carson Wentz is back. I think he's a Viking now. These, these aging quarterbacks, pretty good gig.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much for joining us. We have a lot going on and especially this week coming up tomorrow. This show will be coming to you from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Technically, we'll be celebrating the Reds opening day from Smoke justice in Covington, Kentucky, right across the river. Our broadcast be a lot of fun. We'll have some special guests. Three comedians will be joining us tomorrow. And the whole shebang brought to you by Lee's famous recipe, Chicken Yum. And we're going to be we have a brand new T shirt that we're selling that we're donating the cash from that shirt to a great organization called Brave Gowns. It's just a small group of people that they sew capes and little superhero suits for kids in the hospital. Really cool thing. But by the way, if you want to just make a donation to them and not get a shirt, that's fine too. And we've got a [e-mail] also, we have a special poster. We'll be giving them away. It's a real beauty with a great piece of art by Rob Day, a terrific artist. And that illustration, we think we posted the new one on our website or if we'll have it up there sometime today. Now we have been talking about concerts and about walk up music, et cetera, et cetera. I wanted to point out a couple things. We have a lot of comedians out there coming up today. It'll be Jimmy Pardo and Oliver Pardo stopping by. They're doing a show this evening in Bloomington, Indiana. And it's just a one night stand, but they're doing two shows tonight. That'll be great. Looking forward to seeing the guys. And Willie G. Is on the road. Thursday night you're going to be at the Lincoln Lodge in Chicago. And Friday you're guest hosting at the Starved Rock Lodge in Oglesby, Illinois. Hey, and if people want to get Information about that. They go where?

[Willie Griswold]

My Instagram. Willie Griswold. There's a ticket link in the bio. It's going to say Pat Bullduck and friends. I'm filling in for my friend Pat. I assure you it is Willie Criswold and friends. We're working on updating that website.

[Tom Griswold]

What's his last name? Bulldog Bullduck. Yeah, like quack quack.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

B, O, L, D, U, C. Bulldog.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Willie Griswold]

My pal.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, a bulldog sounds like one of those mythical creatures.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Half bull, half duck.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Boy, is it hard for him to fly. But he's got those cool horns up top we've been talking about.

[Christy Lee]

So his head is the bull and the back is the duck.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. I'm not sure how it would work. I was thinking the bull would be the bottom and the duck would be the head.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, well, you just said he had horns, so.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, always a duck with horns. That makes perfect sense. I. Mr. Bulldog. Could have been worse. Could have been bull dick.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Could have been bold. We have, we have. We have people's favorite walk up music and we just played Lunatic Fringe.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna have to be reminded of this song again. Actually, Oscar brought this up yesterday. That. But when you love Led Zeppelin and you want to hear one of their songs, sometimes it's hard to find the one you really want to hear. Their titles or the titles don't match.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, necessarily.

[Josh Arnold]

Elliot says my walk up would be in the light by Led Zeppelin. I'm sure I've heard it.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know that one either.

[Josh Arnold]

He also says has a really slow, long intro.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This is it.

[Josh Arnold]

Which I mean, well, you need a quicker.

[Christy Lee]

Because you got it. You don't walk very far.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they could. They could be doing the announcement, ladies and gentlemen.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In spite of his diverticulitis, he's strapped on an adult diaper and he's here for you on stage.

[Josh Arnold]

Have not had to do that at all.

[Tom Griswold]

He's leaking from all orify. Not how it works. It's much funnier that it works this way. Or you can dwell on the reality

[Josh Arnold]

of the pooping disease,

[Tom Griswold]

or you can dwell on the reality of just the pain and the sorrow. We'd much rather think it's a fecal fountain, but he's sacrificed. I'm still doing the intro. Christy.

[Josh Arnold]

Big way.

[Jimmy Pardo]

This is the Led Zeppelin song.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It takes a while.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll. There's a part coming up here you'll recognize.

[Willie Griswold]

Who was the person that said, I wish we had a Synthesizer. That sounds like a bagpipe. Because I don't think that John Paul.

[Tom Griswold]

John Paul Jones just got a Kurzweil. Let's fool around with it for 10 minutes.

[Christy Lee]

That's right. Watch the documentary.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. John Paul Jones is the secret ingredient to let. He's brilliant.

[Christy Lee]

Becoming Led Zeppelin is a great documentary. I'm not really fun, and I learned a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Four. Four guys in each one. It was like a table with four legs.

[Christy Lee]

They all held their own thing. And

[Tom Griswold]

I apologize to those watching on TV that don't hear the music.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. I don't know who wrote this letter, but, boy, this is. It's too long of an intro. You got to start at, like, 30 seconds in, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Big amphitheater.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This would be. This would be great if the band was. All of a sudden. You see the. Recognize it now?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, okay. That's too obscure.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I know it. I know it. But I didn't know that by. By the name. I heard that one a while. It was one that I would skip.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I agree.

[Josh Arnold]

Eight minutes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, here's one you'll know for sure. This letter comes to us. Let's see. This is. This is from John in. Wow. He gave me a pronouncer on this. John from Mowequa, Illinois. Oh, Mowequa. That's a great name. And this is a song that is used. You'll know this Christie at Mecham Auctions. Sometimes called the Mecham Anthem. I think you'll recognize it as something else.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, Absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Terrific guitar.

[Christy Lee]

Bringing the cars in classics.

[Tom Griswold]

Know this one, Pat?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you play this?

[Josh Arnold]

I think I taught this riff to

[Tom Griswold]

Willie back in the day.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm ripping it right now.

[Josh Arnold]

This was my improv sketch, Troops.

[Tom Griswold]

Intro music.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You're kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

In the early.

[Willie Griswold]

In the early.

[Josh Arnold]

In the early 2000s.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, we're gonna need.

[Josh Arnold]

Welcome to the stage left at the light.

[Tom Griswold]

For our first kid, we're gonna need the name of the president.

[Josh Arnold]

And we did long form and an

[Tom Griswold]

orifice below the waist.

[Josh Arnold]

We only needed one suggestion for having.

[Willie Griswold]

He would never call it a skit, either. That guy read Truth in Comedy, okay? He cares.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, coming up, we have Jimmy and Oliver Pardo will be joining us. Allie Breen with Sexy Time. More of your letters. And in sports, we have some interesting stuff going on, including a tremendous world record involving human nipples.

[Willie Griswold]

Gross.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. When you hear this thing, you're gonna immediately cover your chest.

[Josh Arnold]

Both, boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lees at the news. Des.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Joshy.

[Josh Arnold]

I was just teasing her on the air. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello. Was this the bo. This the bo thing.

[Josh Arnold]

That was you?

[Christy Lee]

No, that was you.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry, I thought you were heavy.

[Christy Lee]

You said.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't say you were heavy. You can't just say that.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, that's. It's so much funnier. Cuz that sounds like you're trying to be nice about it.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I'll tell you exactly what happened in a second. There's willie [e-mail] he's heavy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Boy, is she heavy.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. I'm Josh Arnold. And Tom, I was telling Chris Christie asked if there was a shirt in her size here and I said yes, they have 3x in the other room.

[Willie Griswold]

Very funny.

[Josh Arnold]

The joke to me is that she's so tiny.

[Willie Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

That of course the 3x is not her size. It'd be a dress.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

But I forgot I was talking to a woman.

[Christy Lee]

And you don't make jokes about her weight.

[Josh Arnold]

You don't make jokes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Didn't go well.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And a forex is a condom, right? Right. Okay, we've established that. Once again, we're still talking about walk up music. Baseball players get to walk up to the plate with cool music. What would your walk up music be? We've been reviewing this with many people.

[Christy Lee]

Didn't you say you had an actual baseball player's walk up music?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. This gets complicated. I'll get it for you in just a second.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from Nemo who says, by the way, I thought he was a fish.

[Christy Lee]

How could he walk up.

[Tom Griswold]

These are all fair questions.

[Josh Arnold]

Swim up.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe before there was Nemo, the cartoon fish.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There was Captain Nemo Okay. Wasn't that James Mason?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, in the Nautilus.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that the James Mason?

[Christy Lee]

He had a great voice.

[Josh Arnold]

Very distinct, yes. The only person I know who. Who could do it was Gilbert Godfrey. So we had him in the Honeymooners.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember that?

[Jimmy Pardo]

He would.

[Tom Griswold]

I saw him in the clubs through that.

[Josh Arnold]

Audiences were bad.

[Tom Griswold]

One laugh at me. I. This is going way back. I was. When I was in college, right after, I think it was, I went to the improv in New York and It was about one in the morning and there were about 10 people in the audience and a bunch of brand new comedians were trying out stuff. One of them turned out to be a guy named Jerry Seinfeld. But one of the other ones was Gilbert Gottfried, who a few years ago showed up on Saturday Night Live. And I was so pleased. But I remember one of the things he did. The place was more than half empty. He walked over to a stool, he picked it up and put it against his waist. And so the stool was horizontal. And as James Mason, he went, I am Quadra Dick. And all these years later, I still remember it right now. The walk up music for Nemo would be this one from Puddle of Mud. It's excellent. Pretty good. This is called Control.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I like the way you smack my ass.

[Christy Lee]

I don't like that. I don't like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, because I think you've established the fact that, yeah, the, the, the, the

[Christy Lee]

spanking's not my thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, spanking. And that's also not an entry point.

[Willie Griswold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Are these lyrics safe for radio?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good band.

[Willie Griswold]

7th grade Willie is getting moody listening to that one.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I saw them live a couple times. I really enjoyed it. Oh, yeah, Made out hard.

[Tom Griswold]

What was your roommate's name again?

[Josh Arnold]

It was Jason.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, let's see now. Which was the one you wanted to hear?

[Christy Lee]

Christy, you said you had ba. An actual baseball player's walk up music. I don't know. You teased it. I was just.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I gotta. I've got that. As you can see, I've got 3,000 pieces of stuff up here. I can't go through them.

[Christy Lee]

Well, while you're doing that, I have this. Josh, I know you get a lot of emails and probably this one won't stand out, but I want to say thank you. You shine on the show and your laugh is life changing. Oh, I can be having the worst day and I hear your laugh and it reminds me that, quote, how I react to situation defines me. So I try to meet every situation with a laugh, if appropriate. Thank you again from Heidi.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, how nice. Howdy, Heidi. Thank you very much. Howdy.

[Tom Griswold]

Howdy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. My brain. I was just telling Tom in the green room, your brain requires. I didn't know if you guys knew this.

[Tom Griswold]

Sleep.

[Josh Arnold]

And your brain requires sustenance, minerals and vitamins.

[Tom Griswold]

And once again, you're on a diet of primarily bone broth and jello due to your. What's it called? Diverticulitis.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. So the first phase, hopefully we're out of. We'll see. I go to the doctor today, but recovery phases. So I actually had hard boiled eggs this morning.

[Willie Griswold]

Good for you, man.

[Christy Lee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Does the doctor stick a thing down your throat and take a look? See?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

The colon is.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know how your body works.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought they went the long way. They got to go in the ass end.

[Josh Arnold]

They don't have to go in anything. It'll palpate my abdomen.

[Willie Griswold]

Would a song cheer you up?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, please.

[Willie Griswold]

Josh went to Dr. Steven, got a diagnosis. Turns out it wasn't gout or something more ferocious. He can only drink bone broth and cut out Thomas.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a super curable.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's fix it. Diverticulosis. Seven on the Bristol scale. Dry diverticulum. That's hard to say. Very nice, by the way, if you're not familiar with the Bristol. If you're wondering about The Bristol scale,

[Willie Griswold]

1 is constipated, 2 is mildly constipated,

[Jimmy Pardo]

3 or 4, elated.

[Willie Griswold]

5 is lacking fiber, 6 is mild diarrhea. But 7 means that when you go,

[Tom Griswold]

it's just like you are peeing. It's super curable. Let's fix it. Diverticulitis, Losis lotus halitosis. Okay, thank you.

[Willie Griswold]

That was awesome, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Not curable, though, Pat. No, no, no. Diverticulitis will go away. Diverticulosis is forever.

[Willie Griswold]

I did not know.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Unless.

[Tom Griswold]

When I did my research.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that when you get the bag?

[Josh Arnold]

If it's an emergency, you can have the bad.

[Christy Lee]

They can cut out small parts.

[Tom Griswold]

Bob can back this up. That was one of the first times we got in trouble. We would have to read. They used to call it comfo community information. I refused to participate. Yeah, it was. It was really dumb. You'd have to. You'd come out of some stupid song and. And. And then you'd go. That was the Holly Ridge strings ruining another Beatles classic.

[Christy Lee]

You did elevator music?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we had. We had an AM and an fm. It was just like the old skit and The. The FM was essentially elevator.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

It was all strings, no vocal. Yeah. Muzak music. But yeah, it was. It was very embarrassing. But one time the someone else would put together those cards of, you know, it would be like, you know, the Kiwanis Club is meeting or whatever. The Rotary Club.

[Oliver Pardo]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

It was a bunch of. Of, you know, interesting information for those involved. But. But there was one one morning for the Ostomate Society and I said, what is this? People that have. Is this some guy that has eight wives? I.

[Christy Lee]

You didn't know what it was?

[Tom Griswold]

No. And apparently it's for those that have the bag.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. If you have an ostomy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Ostomy bag. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So. But I didn't know that. And I was, you know, yucking it up, if you will.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

With an audience of which predominantly the estimate. I'm sure they were well attended in those days. Here's one for you. This is a longtime listener, Matt. He writes Dear Bob and Tom Show. I am a 25 plus member of the Morning Breath Club. I think Josh will appreciate this one because you're kind of the more. The more heavy. Heavy metal guy in the room here. And here we go. See if you recognize this.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Now it slows down here for when. This is where you kind of take your time with the bat.

[Tom Griswold]

So that. With the.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe hit the dirt.

[Tom Griswold]

DMC, ladies and gentlemen, St. Louis from St. Louis, Missouri. He's being followed by a trail of diarrhea. Man, oh man,

[Josh Arnold]

oh boy. Why did I never learn to keep my mouth shut about everything?

[Tom Griswold]

On the Bristol scale, he's a top 10 hit.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It's Josh Arnold.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Stepped all over it, didn't he?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's because I'd never heard it before. That's Rage against the Machine.

[Willie Griswold]

You've never heard that?

[Tom Griswold]

I never have either.

[Christy Lee]

Really.

[Tom Griswold]

This was a rage against the Machine, though, was the music yesterday at the gym.

[Willie Griswold]

That song is great.

[Tom Griswold]

I. My trainer is a guy that's significantly younger, so we trade. We trade music. So I'll play something of my era and then he'll play something of his. Oh, my stuff. Primarily banjo and street organ. They bring him in a 78.

[Jimmy Pardo]

This is his.

[Tom Griswold]

Comes from 1872. Willie, time for one quick sports story.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Here we go, guys.

[Willie Griswold]

Joe Flacco has agreed to terms to return to the Cincinnati Bengals, where he will serve as a backup for Joe Burrow. Flacco was dealt to the Bengals from Cleveland Brown from the Cleveland Browns in October and made six starts for Cincinnati while Burrow was out with a toe injury. The 41 year old Flacco played well despite going 1 and 5 as a starter with the Bengals. He threw for at least 200 yards and four of his six starts. And the Bengals offense averaged more than 27 points per game. So Joe is back.

[Christy Lee]

All right, Joe.

[Tom Griswold]

I always say the same thing about Joe Flacco. When we were talking with John Feinstein, John Feinstein, years ago, he wrote that book about quarterbacks, which is a great book. And I asked him who was the nicest guy you've ever met in the NFL? And he said, Joe Flacco.

[Christy Lee]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

So that's good to know that Joe's going to be out there helping out. Speaking of Cincinnati, we'll be in greater Cincinnati tomorrow, actually, at Smoke Justice, Covington, Kentucky, a beautiful spot across the river, doing this show live, as it happens, from, as I mentioned, Smoke justice, the restaurant. And it's going to be in celebration of, of the opening of Major League Baseball with the Reds tomorrow. And let's see, we're gonna. Oh, I just saw the first of the T shirts. They're out. We're doing a special charity T shirt, donating the funds to a great little organization called Brave Gowns. They. So they like what, capes and little, little special superhero suits for kids in the hospital. So just fun little things. If you'd like to get a shirt, they're pretty cool. We got them posted. You can actually buy them on our website, too. They'[e-mail] and also we're a really cool poster. We'll give them away while supplies last. We spent a lot of time putting them together. Beautiful artwork by artist Rob Day. So I hope you can join us. If not, join us just in the airwaves tomorrow as we come to you. Brought to you by our friends at Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. And I've learned a little bit of the history of Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken. By the way, did you know that the original Lee's Famous Chicken was he was a cohort of the famous Colonel. So yes, I think he has a different set of spices.

[Willie Griswold]

And herbs.

[Tom Griswold]

And herbs. I'm not sure about the herbs. The spices. I'm quite sure we talked about spices.

[Christy Lee]

We didn't talk about the herbs.

[Tom Griswold]

So thanks to Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken for helping us out with our special broadcast tomorrow. Christy, can you give me a quick preview of what's coming up?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The Chinese university is telling students to do something very unusual over spring break. Have you heard of frambled eggs we'll tell you about that. And this headline, of course, I did not write a fountain of feces in Arizona. We'll talk about it coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe they opened for Puddle of Mud on the last tour. Yeah, that's a. That story is about a disaster at an apartment complex. Right now, I want to talk to you about your foundation, your moral foundation, and also your feet. Josh, want to help me with this?

[Josh Arnold]

I absolutely want to help you with this. If you're walking well, you might be aching, as they say.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you hear that a lot.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's a classic bromide look. Feet get tired, arches collapse, heels ache, knees complain, lower backs tighten up. Oftentimes you go, you know what? I'm just getting old. I guess this is how it's going to be. Doesn't have to be, my friends. Orange Insoles.com is the place to check out. They deliver rigid arch support that do not collapse by lunchtime with a deal. I'm sorry. With a deep heel cup that cradles your heel and absorb shock naturally, they help maintain alignment as your feet and legs fatigue. That's the key to reducing stress on your knees, hips and lower back. They're super durable. You can put them in your work boots, your deck boots. They're comfortable enough for everyday wear. So if you're a teacher or a doctor, a construction worker, somebody, maybe you work retail, a server. My gosh, you are on your feet all day. Check these out. They may just cure what ails you. I have a letter here from Kevin. He's a 65 year old retiree. He says I work part time at the Enterprise center in St. Louis. I just worked as an usher for 15 hours on Friday and then eight hours on Sunday during the first two rounds of the NCAA basketball tournament. A good pair of shoes and my orange insoles kept me feeling good all weekend. Thank you so much for the recommendation. They worked well. Glad to hear it, Kevin. You could be a Kevin, too.

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

At the Originsouls.com sports desk, it's Willie Griswold.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, man.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hey, Josh. I'm Josh Arnold. Coming up, we have some terrific guests. Jimmy Pardo and his son, Oliver Pardo. Terrific comedians both. And their appearances on the Bob and Tom show are sponsored by Lee's famous recipe chicken, famous for a recent. And there's Tom.

[Christy Lee]

So is Oliver gonna help us with sexy time?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is this.

[Willie Griswold]

I was thinking the same thing, so

[Josh Arnold]

I want to ask if they.

[Christy Lee]

That's gonna be a little awkward, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

He's a freshman in college.

[Josh Arnold]

Has he had the talk yet?

[Christy Lee]

He's a freshman in college.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure he knows something.

[Tom Griswold]

Probably knows everything.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie, did Tom give you the talk?

[Willie Griswold]

No, he didn't. Willie gave Tom the talk

[Tom Griswold]

one time.

[Willie Griswold]

He walked in on me and a girl, and then he went, oh, oh, oh, God, I'll make you guys pancakes. And that was pretty much extent of our.

[Tom Griswold]

Our walk in on you.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, fortunately, I had built a loft, so they had the coolest bed you've ever seen.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I remember.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, it was. It was elevated so we couldn't see anything, but, yeah, that was the extent of it.

[Tom Griswold]

You could walk underneath it. It was a really nice.

[Willie Griswold]

My mom gave me a talk after I'd already lost my virginity. And I remember just trying to just tune it out. And she's this very sort of sexually positive person. And I just tuned back in. And she goes, and remember, it's not just about yourself. Take some time. And then I tune that again. She goes, and don't. It's use your finger, use your mouth, whatever you got. And I go, oh, my goodness.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, oh, boy, you really got the talk, man.

[Christy Lee]

Man, I am so.

[Willie Griswold]

I didn't listen till I was like, 25, though.

[Josh Arnold]

There were a few things I really

[Willie Griswold]

should have Listened a little more. I've taken the notes, so, yeah, thanks.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we're going to be meeting Oliver along with old friend of the show, Jimmy Partle. Looking forward to that. And that may be a little off.

[Christy Lee]

How we remember when Oliver was born. I mean, crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, let's move forward here. I think we're to touch base with the sports page Willie G. Sitting in for the chickster over there. What's going on here?

[Willie Griswold]

It is, you guys. You've been waiting all morning. A man from Finland has broken the Guinness world record for the heaviest vehicle pulled by the nipples.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, gosh.

[Willie Griswold]

Using straps attached to his nipple piercings, the who calls himself the Baron successfully pulled a carriage with his partner sitting inside for a combined weight of 2,184 pounds. The previous record stood at just over 2,179 pounds, held by Mr. Sage Werbach, who called himself the Great Nippelini.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, well, I can respect that.

[Christy Lee]

How does it not pull your nipple off?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

I mean, come on.

[Willie Griswold]

This guy also holds the record for heaviest weight lifted by the nipples. Male division.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, there's a female.

[Willie Griswold]

Just knowing that hurts.

[Tom Griswold]

I think the female division, I think it's Ariola Grande. Yeah, the singer.

[Josh Arnold]

Quite good.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, like that.

[Willie Griswold]

But, yeah, that record was a 71.87 pounds.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's a lot.

[Willie Griswold]

Just. I mean, that's a fourth grader attached to you. That's crazy.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they. Is there a picture? Do they back up?

[Christy Lee]

Is there a picture?

[Tom Griswold]

Is he backing up or is he. Wait a minute.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, yeah, of course. He's got a hat and a vest on. That makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he's backing up.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, look.

[Willie Griswold]

And he's got the same boots as you, Dad.

[Josh Arnold]

A lot in common. Nipple play and boots.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't have nipple rings now. The only one. Are you aware of this, Willie, That Josh used to have nipple rings?

[Willie Griswold]

Are you serious?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't know where he's going.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry. Oscar was sitting over there. I just believed it for a second.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't know Oscar did.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know if he. We must have talked about it at some point.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm sorry. Because he was sitting there and he has a beard. Right when you first came in to hit the show.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I did have a. I had a cartilage piercing. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you still have that?

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't have the piercing or the ring anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Does the piercing. The piercing just grows back together.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I can feel a little.

[Tom Griswold]

Not kind of thing, but yeah. So this guy is. He's. He's backing up, pulling this carriage with his nipples.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, you know, it doesn't look as excruciating as I bet it would be.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you can't. See, what I'm wondering is.

[Josh Arnold]

Not that stretched out.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wait a minute. Hang on a second.

[Josh Arnold]

Almost like carabiners attached to.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And are they attached to nipple rings? Those would rip out.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, that's what I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and his. His nipples look like those. Those balloons that you make animals out of before they put the air in them.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sure, They're. I mean, they're long, elongated, like.

[Tom Griswold]

They look like chewed pieces of Laffy Taffy.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, at least he's being responsible, wearing a weight belt. Good on this guy for taking care

[Tom Griswold]

of his little back. Yeah, he's got a lot of eye makeup on and a hat, fancy mustache.

[Christy Lee]

He's got a lot of tats on his stomach.

[Josh Arnold]

He is a silly man, but he's

[Tom Griswold]

not the Great Nippolene. No, that's the other. That's the old. Yeah. Was it the Great Nippolini or the. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Can you be the greatest Nippolini or go one better?

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm. You have to wonder if. If, when, if. Can you see David Rush's wife coming to breakfast? David's reading about the latest Guinness record. She looks at him and she goes,

[Josh Arnold]

no,

[Tom Griswold]

you're not going for the world's strongest nipple record. While the Great Nippolini. Okay, now, wait a minute here. It says there is no record in the female division for strongest nipples.

[Willie Griswold]

Thank goodness.

[Josh Arnold]

Not for strongest nipples. But have you ever seen.

[Christy Lee]

Have you ever breasted a baby?

[Josh Arnold]

The Great Clitoria.

[Tom Griswold]

Clitoria.

[Josh Arnold]

She has, yes. Queen Clitoria.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a different one.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right. There's Queen and the Great.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the great. She stole it from the Queen. Famous in Victorian times, she was. She would drop crowds by the thousands.

[Christy Lee]

Any woman breastfeeding right now has the world's strongest nipples.

[Josh Arnold]

Trust me.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, the.

[Christy Lee]

Leave it. I was gonna say leave it.

[Tom Griswold]

Latoria. Strappy. His act was not to be missed, so. Sorry. I'm sorry, is that sports?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. Cubs gave Pete Crow Armstrong a huge extension. $115 million.

[Josh Arnold]

So.

[Willie Griswold]

Way to go, PCA.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

Golden Glove. He's their new guy. He's around. So, yeah, let's call it. That's sports.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, thank you very much. Pat, did you have any songs about nipples that you wanted to share with us? I'm trying to think. I got one about boobs and not about nipples. Okay, well, you can work on that. We'll visit Christy Lee over there at the Bob and Tom news desk while

[Christy Lee]

we go from nipples to penises. Because that's the kind of show we are. A new poll out of the UK reveals some of the nicknames British men have given their male members. So this isn't like, common like a willie. Oh, Willie's not on here.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, so Tallywacker and.

[Christy Lee]

Right. All of those. This is what you would call yours personally. Okay. For example, top monikers were John Thomas and Mopey Dick.

[Josh Arnold]

I've heard John Thomas.

[Christy Lee]

I have never heard that.

[Josh Arnold]

Monty Python would use it every now

[Tom Griswold]

and again, but Mopey Dick sounds like kind of.

[Christy Lee]

Now you don't want a Mopey Dick. Well, do you?

[Josh Arnold]

It's mopey when it's not

[Christy Lee]

happy.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, mine's more dopey. Honestly, you know how many times I've tricked it into thinking my hand is a vagina?

[Tom Griswold]

So the top two. Mopey Dick. What was the other one?

[Christy Lee]

And John Thomas.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, John Thomas is kind of a classic.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

80% of men in Britain admitted that they nicknamed their respective member. This is something that you're writing different names. Do you really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'll refer to them as my privates when they're saluting me, that old gentleman boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Some of these I've never nicknamed mine. That's weird to do that.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, I think so.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Weird.

[Christy Lee]

Tommy, want to step in here?

[Josh Arnold]

Nope.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Nope.

[Christy Lee]

Tex Willie.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know that everybody's real quiet

[Willie Griswold]

all of a sudden?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Big tax, like the Cinnabon. You get the vending machine tax.

[Josh Arnold]

It has. Imagine cowboy

[Christy Lee]

man. Some of these circumference.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, that's funny.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Spelled S U R. Oh, but that.

[Tom Griswold]

So the implication of that one would be girth.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, but spelled S U R. So not.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Not like sir.

[Christy Lee]

It says S U r on here.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, it should be knighted. Yeah, that's funnier.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. Widgy McWidge face.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't get that one.

[Christy Lee]

No, these are pretty normal. The general, the captain, the soldier, the boss, the prince.

[Tom Griswold]

That one's got. That one's come into disfavor recently. I can't call the principal. Yeah, he lost his title.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The Duke, the Champ, the Engine.

[Josh Arnold]

The Champ is funny.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, I like the Engine. That thing keeps me going. Chugga, chugga, cha, cha, cha, cha.

[Christy Lee]

Rocket.

[Tom Griswold]

During the Apollo era, I used to call mine Wiener Von Braun. Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Silly.

[Tom Griswold]

In Honor of the rocket scientist.

[Christy Lee]

The wand. Now here's a nickname I don't think you should give yours. Little man.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's literal. It's smaller than the you, isn't it? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Or Pinky Winky.

[Josh Arnold]

No, that's not.

[Tom Griswold]

No. And Josh, you're a cinephile. Didn't you go with a pricklys cage for a while?

[Josh Arnold]

I did, yeah. I liked Prickless Cage.

[Christy Lee]

Little buddy is on the list. My little friend.

[Tom Griswold]

How about Huge Jackman?

[Jimmy Pardo]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

My little friend. That'd be a whole different ending to Scarface, wouldn't it? Say hello to my little friend. Put that away. I know you're super high right now.

[Tom Griswold]

How about King Dong?

[Josh Arnold]

I like it. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there a porn star with that name?

[Josh Arnold]

I would think King Dong. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Or at least a movie.

[Christy Lee]

Here's a good one. Rodzilla.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, there we go.

[Willie Griswold]

A lot of fun.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Sort of a titan.

[Christy Lee]

I kind of like that one. Big Ben, the Gentleman. Oh, I kind of like.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's funny too.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's very, very British. So I like to meet the gentleman.

[Josh Arnold]

The gentleman would like to speak to you.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of military ones.

[Christy Lee]

Jolly todger.

[Tom Griswold]

What was it? The. The general, the captain, the Colonel, the sergeant.

[Willie Griswold]

Is that like a James Bond? One is like double O. Three and a half or something.

[Christy Lee]

But that would be good. Old faithful and Mr. Happy round out my list.

[Willie Griswold]

Ah, Old Faithful is funny. Also unfortunate when you think about. The guys are Old Faithful.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. It makes like there's an incontinence happening or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the. Maybe something with the 250th anniversary of the United States of America coming up. Maybe you could do.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, Woodrow Wilson's right there, isn't it?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, so now we're talking about here, not over in the uk.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. The Declaration of Independence. Attendance. That's kind of a long name.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that would be my NDA.

[Willie Griswold]

That's what I call my.

[Josh Arnold]

That's what I call my non Disclosure agreement. When I give it to women after we sleep together.

[Willie Griswold]

Now sign this or you don't get your gift back.

[Josh Arnold]

We sign the Declaration.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want to be the Minute Man. No, no, that would be. That would be bad. Once again, these are. These are the ones for me. Now. I dug this thing up. This is the other side of the coin here. Here. This is an article about ladies and what they refer to their. Down there area.

[Christy Lee]

Do they nickname it or what they just call.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, this is in a much. This is in a much more Scientific realm. It says headline. This is from the Psychological Post. A woman's choice of words for her genitals is tied to her sexual well being.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

It says, Scientists survey nearly 500 women about their feelings, attitudes, and the names of their genitals. So this is. Would you. If you were to go to the doctor. For example, they found that women who used childish terms such as hoo ha or vajayjay tended to report more negative feelings about their body parts.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

The vulgar terms during sexual activity was associated with. With positive sexual outcomes. What does that mean exactly?

[Christy Lee]

That means the P word. If you use.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, dirty.

[Josh Arnold]

Dirty, Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You can't imagine going into the doctor and go, hey, my.

[Josh Arnold]

Please do it. Just to see him have to put his hand on his counter and, like, steady himself for a second. Oh, wow. He really hit me.

[Christy Lee]

Jake is laughing in his car right now.

[Tom Griswold]

A friend of mine who worked in an urban setting. Oh, gosh. In an er. You know the answer to this. Most women refer to it as down there. Down there. Yeah, Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I know a woman who was super easy, but she was also just mean and cold. I called it the walk in freezer.

[Willie Griswold]

Sometimes you'd cry in there at work.

[Tom Griswold]

I've never heard hoo ha.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that is big.

[Tom Griswold]

So you'd say like, hey, you want me to go downtown in your hooha?

[Josh Arnold]

I know, it's more for Dr. My Hoohas.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I would never use it in the bedroom. Okay, Right.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. That seems a little bit awkward.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Who used to say that?

[Tom Griswold]

That's alacino in the scent of a woman. You can do that voice, kids. No, I don't do that one.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

He's doing the old marine thing. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, it's interesting that. Do you just. What do you use the technical biological term at the.

[Christy Lee]

Of course I'm an adult.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but I mean, some of these adults in this survey are using the. As they mentioned, some of the. More.

[Christy Lee]

No, I would use the proper terms.

[Josh Arnold]

Hatchet wound.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Steakums.

[Josh Arnold]

Doctor, would you take a look at my stake?

[Tom Griswold]

Doctor? My. My stake. Ems be itching. Coming up, we have a sewage issue. We have something new. It's, of course, all over the Internet in the world of recipes called frambled eggs.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm interested in this.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Scrambled eggs.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, me too.

[Tom Griswold]

This is. This is a variation that I'll put without giving it too much away. I have done by accident on many occasions.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Christy Lee's at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin's across the hey, there's Willie G. At the Originsouls.com sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

What's up, dude?

[Josh Arnold]

Ace Cosby. Howdy, I'm Josh Arnold. There's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, everybody. Just getting organized over here. We're going to be doing a road trip tomorrow. The show brought to you by Lee's famous recipe Chicken. This program will be coming to you from Covington, Kentucky, usa, will be at Smoke Justice. That's the name of the restaurant. It's a great spot in Covington getting ready for, for Major League Baseball. The official opening day as far as we're concerned with the Cincinnati Reds. We have a really cool poster we'll have with us. So we'll be happy to sign those and you can have one. And then also we have a special charity T shirt. I just saw the first one in, in its physical essence. What's the word I'm looking for, Josh? The actual shirt. The actual shirt was here. Yeah. We just had a picture before and it's, it's in honor of opening day. And we're going to be passing along the cash to a organization called Brave Gowns, which just a small group of folks that they, they sew little like superhero uniforms and stuff for little kids in the hospital. Just give them a little bit of, a little, little bit of cheer. So it's small, but it's really cool. And yeah, by the way, and you don't have to even buy a shirt to make a donation. We have a link if you go to bob and tom.com now we're going to check in with Christy. We've left Willie G. Who was over there at the Orange Inn Sol sports desk. We go to your left, my right. And there's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Frambled eggs. Have you heard of Those. It's the latest cooking trend hitting social media, also known as the sunny scramble scrambled eggs. Combine scrambled eggs with a soft yolk to get the best of both worlds for breakfast. Took off on TikTok when a user shared a video of herself preparing fluffy scrambled eggs with a runny egg yolk on top. That video garnered over 20 million views and spawned similar videos of other users making their version of the hybrid dish.

[Tom Griswold]

So the notion, I think, is you're kind of scrambling eggs, but would you throw one on at the last minute and break the yolk?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Well, it sounds like you don't break the yolk. It's still runny. Yeah,

[Tom Griswold]

there's a bunch of variations on it. I like the. Remember the great chef Lynn Rosetta Casper? She would refer to breaking the yolk as the gravy, which I completely agree with.

[Josh Arnold]

She hosted the splendid table.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, she was great. I, I, I make all kinds of different eggs.

[Christy Lee]

So you make scrambled eggs, and then you fry an egg or put an egg on top and let it cook.

[Tom Griswold]

I've done that most. I'm doing a variation of a poached egg. You start, you start frying eggs, then you put in, like, a quarter inch of water, cover it, and that way you don't have to flip it over.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that'll baste it.

[Tom Griswold]

Very nice. Very nice. But the name frambled.

[Christy Lee]

I don't understand it.

[Tom Griswold]

Scrambled. I guess they could have gone the other way.

[Josh Arnold]

Scribe.

[Christy Lee]

Doesn't sound nearly appealing.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't sound tasty. I just keep what I first thought. I thought, is this like a Peter Frampton thing? Do you feel like. I do. Peter Frampton's got a new project coming up out.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Like May 12, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Looking forward to that. Hope we can talk with Mr. Frampton.

[Willie Griswold]

Did I tell you guys, me and my friend Carl invented scrambled pancakes by accident?

[Josh Arnold]

What? How did this work?

[Willie Griswold]

Well, you're making a pancake, and then you go to flip it, but you didn't wait long enough. And then it kind of just scrambled. And then we ran with it, and then you scramble it up like, almost like little bites of cereal. And then you put, put it in a bowl and put the syrup over it.

[Christy Lee]

That's not a bad idea.

[Willie Griswold]

It's awesome. And I did check on online about a week ago. I was like, did anybody else figure this out? And a lot of other people figured it out.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, so many recipes were discovered by accident.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, the most famous being chocolate chip cookies. That was a, that was a mistake that, you know, Turned out to be a great idea.

[Christy Lee]

And you have to have the right spatula. Do you have a certain spatula that you can only use for flipping? Like it's.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, I do. It's very wide.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's. It's like the best spatula for flipping. Because if you have the wrong one, you have that problem.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I. What was the other name? It was frambled eggs and they. Oh, and the Sunny Scramble. Doesn't that sound like some kind of a golf outing?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, join us next weekend for the Sunny Scramble charity event. We'll be raising money.

[Christy Lee]

Speaking of food, eating a lot of ultra processed foods like packaged snacks, snacks, fast food, and sugary drinks may hurt your fertility. Listen up. A new study found men who eat more of these foods tend to have lower fertility and may take longer to help conceive a child. Researchers think it's because sperm are very sensitive to what you eat. For women, the study found that diets high in ultra processed foods were linked to slightly slower or smaller embryo development in early pregnancy. So basically, it boils down to diets. Heavy and highly processed foods may make it harder to get pregnant and could affect early development. We've heard a lot about ultra processed foods over the years. It's simply not good for you.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So does this mean that the semen are fatter?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know if they're fatter.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm never gonna make it to that egg.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you say you. Josh, you recently had one of those sperm tests?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, I have.

[Tom Griswold]

They look in the microscope and they were swimming with little T shirts on.

[Josh Arnold]

Exactly. Yeah. They're shy. They're shy guys.

[Willie Griswold]

That's. I mean, it's so mean. And I didn't laugh. That's a great joke. That's tremendous.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, didn't you talk about that how

[Josh Arnold]

I used to swim in a shirt? Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I have to outside because of the sun.

[Willie Griswold]

I think that's just a chubby kid thing. I used to be like, actually, you know, it's because I get rashes and it's. I'm allergic to sunscreen. It's like, no, I was just. Didn't want people to see my love handles and my stretch marks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I mean, you get shy.

[Willie Griswold]

You're 16. It's a tough look.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So they're saying that the highly priced food is also bad for the ladies.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, they are.

[Tom Griswold]

So when you were working on having babies, did they tell you to eat a special diet?

[Christy Lee]

Well, they tell you, like, stay away from sushi. Is One of the things really. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Most pregnant women can't eat sushi.

[Willie Griswold]

You can't have deli meat, right?

[Christy Lee]

No deli meat.

[Willie Griswold]

That stinks.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, I didn't know that.

[Christy Lee]

It's also processed food.

[Willie Griswold]

That's what sushi isn't.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but it's mercury.

[Josh Arnold]

Is that it?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, raw fish can contain a lot of things. I hate to tell you that, but.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I didn't know that. I should have. I probably did, but forgot about it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, a long time since I've been pregnant, but I do remember those two things.

[Tom Griswold]

There's still time.

[Josh Arnold]

Thankfully, Christy just replaced the sushi with wine.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I don't know. I replaced it with milkshakes. That's why I gained 65 pounds.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, you also had a human growing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. They need a little bit of. A little bit of food in there.

[Christy Lee]

Sure they do.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you got coming up?

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have interesting spring break news for those of you that are headed out. The Chinese university has a really interesting way to enjoy it. And have you ever seen fake missiles sticking out of the back of a car? We'll talk about it coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

I've seen truck nuts, but, well, of course, never, never actual missiles. Yeah, your bracket busted, right? Oh, God, yes, but the folks at Orange Insoles know. Oh, well, all is not lost. You could still win a 4K TV [e-mail] contest. And once again, our special opening day broadcast coming to you from smokejustice, Covington, Kentucky.

[Christy Lee]

Hi, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie griswold@the orangeandsouls.com sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

Good morning.

[Josh Arnold]

We've got Pat Godwin in the music room and Ace Cosby's over there. I am Josh, Arnold and Tom. We're joined by one of our favorite people, people and comedians and son.

[Christy Lee]

It's Nepo morning around here.

[Tom Griswold]

Bring your son to work day.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Willie G. Is here with me. And Jimmy Pardo's son Oliver is here. Hey, Oliver. How are you?

[Oliver Pardo]

Hi.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Good.

[Oliver Pardo]

How are you?

[Josh Arnold]

What a pleasure to meet you.

[Oliver Pardo]

Very nice to meet you as well. I'm very excited to be here.

[Tom Griswold]

And now, Oliver, I. You are taller than your dad.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Okay. Okay. Really? That's what we open with.

[Tom Griswold]

I was gonna say, yeah, Willie is taller than I. I am.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Well, you didn't say that. What you said was, hey, you're. You're taller than your father, who we've been making fun of for the past 37 years. So we'll.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll get to something nice.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Willie, just so this young man is Tom's son. So that's all the Nepo. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

That's why they wouldn't do that to you. They're doing it to me.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you'll notice the sons seem to have better hair.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Something about youth, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, we did something. Ace was kind enough to do something in honor of your dad. I don't know if you noticed that, but if you look at the cap, it is a. It is a KISS cap. The band Kiss.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And now I know Jimmy is a, as you know, a veteran. A not drafted, but volunteered.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Several tours of duty in the KISS Army.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And as you know, I'm no longer, longer part of that. I was willing to rock roll all night. I was not willing to party every day.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I see.

[Jimmy Pardo]

So I may. Well, right now, Ace, you know this. There's a 75 year old man dressed kitty cat roaming the streets looking for me. Yeah, I hear him calling. Are you gonna come home right now,

[Tom Griswold]

Oliver, Are you a KISS fan?

[Oliver Pardo]

Oh, I love Kiss. I'm a big KISS fan. I'm a big, just classic rock fan, period. I'm a big classic rock fan. I learned them all from like, you know, Guitar Hero is kind of how I, how I got into all of those kind of classic rock songs. So it's kind of an eye opening because I'm going to all the concerts now. You know, I've got something like Kiss on their farewell tour and all that. It's been eye opening because I always assume the boos were part of the song. So seeing them live. There's no booze anymore.

[Josh Arnold]

When you make a mistake.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah, you make a mistake. Now I'm seeing them live and I'm like, hey, they actually know how to play.

[Tom Griswold]

This is crazy.

[Oliver Pardo]

The frets don't fly off midway through the song. This is huge. It's very exciting.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Guitar Hero was. That was big. But it kind of had its day and then went away.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it sure was fun though. And I, I always heard guitar players say Guitar Hero was harder than playing guitar.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Wait, that's true.

[Josh Arnold]

That's. That's just what I, I heard a couple different guitar players say.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Really?

[Oliver Pardo]

Really.

[Josh Arnold]

But maybe just for them, because they were so used to doing it, I

[Jimmy Pardo]

wasn't good at either of them. I couldn't those, you know, red. I did the, the beginner I could do.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

But then one step up where you had to add three colors.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm out.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm out. I'm. I'm a two color guitar player. You guys know that now.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Oliver. How old are you, may I ask?

[Oliver Pardo]

18.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. What is your educational status at this point?

[Oliver Pardo]

I'm currently in college. I'm studying screenwriting, but I'm also doing a little bit of theater. Trying to maybe minor in theater at a point. I used to do theater a lot. I. One time I did community theater like last summer.

[Willie Griswold]

Nice.

[Oliver Pardo]

And yeah, thank you. I was a. One of the plays we were doing one of the days, they didn't have my costume ready. So they were like, here's a. Here's some pants for you to try on. Just for now. Just for this one day. Of rehearsal. Use these pants. We're gonna get you some better pants tomorrow. Because these pants did not fit me at all. They were both too short and too wide. I don't know what that build is, but they were, like, way too big. They were falling down and they went to my knees. So I don't really know, you know, what, you know, wide child, that was for. But they told me to wear those pants. And then at the end of the day, they were like, all right, we gotta get out of here. We were here way too long. The people who own this theater, they're gonna kick us out. So we're like, we gotta move. So, like, I was like, okay. So we were running out of the theater. I was like, hold on, give me a second. I can't find my normal pants. I'm still just wearing these real pants. I don't have my real pants that I came in with. And they're like, but you gotta go, you gotta move. And I was like, alright, well, hold on, give me a second. Because I can't walk home in these, you know, ridiculous pants. They're like, you gotta go. I was like, I guess I gotta go. So I'm walking home, I had to take the metro. And I'm wearing these ridiculous pants. They're falling down with every step, you know. Cause I'm wearing these pants. They're not, you know, they're not real pants. And they're falling down and I'm walking all the way home and I'm like, you're not even supposed to take these pants out of the room. So I'm like, sneaking past them. I'm like, running away from the, you know, director, because they're not supposed to see me in these costume bands. And I'm like, running away. And I got these fake pants and they're falling down and like, this is horrible. I come back the next day and I'm like, you know, alright, well, I gotta find my real pants now. So I'm, you know, taking off these ridiculous fake costume pants that don't even fit me. And I go over to the costuming guy and I say, hey, this is a ridiculous question, but have you seen my real pants? And he goes, no, I haven't. And he goes, what, do you think they're stolen? I go, yeah. I mean, no, not really. You know, I was like, kidding around. Comes, I'm not kidding. People steal pants around here. What does that mean? And he was like, you know what? I know you're new to the. You know, you're new to this theater. But I'm just gonna tell you that's something that's gonna happen. You're gonna have to watch out. Don't get too attached. Any pair of pants.

[Christy Lee]

It was crazy.

[Oliver Pardo]

It was the weirdest thing in the world. It was bizarre.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Give a favorite pair of pants in your normal life. I do.

[Oliver Pardo]

I gotta be honest. That was my favorite pair of pants. I know.

[Willie Griswold]

You lost the one A pants.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Oliver Pardo]

I'm really worried.

[Tom Griswold]

I think everybody does. They might not admit it, but you. You know, today I'm wearing my favorite pants.

[Christy Lee]

Well, do you have the same pants, but multiple? Like, I have my favorite pants, but I have four of them.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. Yeah, I do that.

[Josh Arnold]

I did it, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but they're still two navy, two black. Just like kids. They're all unequal, but, you know, you

[Jimmy Pardo]

like one a little bit more.

[Tom Griswold]

There's that one favorite pair of pants that feel just right.

[Josh Arnold]

Just like kids. Willie, I. I can't.

[Willie Griswold]

I can't believe it.

[Oliver Pardo]

I mean, I can't.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You don't think you're one.

[Willie Griswold]

Yesterday. Yesterday we were on air and I recommended something, and he goes, oh, that sounds great. I have to try that with my kids. And I want to be like, I am your kids. What are we doing?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now, once again, we have. The other kid in the room is Oliver Pardo, son of Jimmy Pardo. And they're doing a little mini tour and making a special stop tonight. So that'll be really fun.

[Willie Griswold]

Fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, the way this show works, you're going to get a chance to hear Christy Lee do a little bit of news, and then you can weigh in if you have a thought about it.

[Oliver Pardo]

All right, great.

[Tom Griswold]

So you never know. You never know where this is going. Much like your father's act. Hey, no, that's the beauty of it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's a compliment. I said, hey, like it was an insult. But that's not an insult.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the beauty of it. Every night, it's different. There's always something coming up, and he's got interaction with the audience.

[Josh Arnold]

But you see how you've trained yourself

[Jimmy Pardo]

to his bullying, I assume. Yes, I was getting insulted, and it was like, wait a minute.

[Josh Arnold]

That's.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's. That is my act.

[Tom Griswold]

It's always.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It's always, hey, enough to know. Oh, wait, heads up.

[Tom Griswold]

Now.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's fine.

[Tom Griswold]

It's fresh and new. He talks to the audience, sees what happens. That's cool.

[Christy Lee]

How many shows have you guys done together so far?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, what would you say? So I would say 20, 22?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, wow.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Right around that 22. What a minute. 20. 22. Right in that ballpark. Seems very specific. I think it's that many.

[Oliver Pardo]

I would say probably around that. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oliver, when you're done with your set, do you say something like, oh, thank you so much. Stick around for dad.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah, like, you know, I know everybody's going to leave, but you know what? We got this old man, he's going to do a great job.

[Josh Arnold]

Placate him, will you?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Let's just tolerate it, get through it. Then we'll do the meet and greet afterwards. Here's an hour in the middle. Between that.

[Tom Griswold]

Might want to. He might want to hit the bar. Bathrooms are open.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think he says, if you think my references are old, get a load of this next guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Chance.

[Jimmy Pardo]

This guy's going to mention something a McMillan and wife about 17 times. Get ready for some Mannix jokes. There's my dad.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's the. I mean, every day someone should keep track of what the most obscure reference we make on this show. Oh, come on.

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean you make.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean, we've had some really obscure.

[Christy Lee]

Charlie. Today was one of them.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Choo Choo Charlie. He's a heck of a trainer.

[Tom Griswold]

I couldn't remember which candy it was, and then I remembered why I didn't remember it. Because it's the worst candy ever made.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is it Charles and Chu?

[Christy Lee]

Is that Good and Plenty?

[Tom Griswold]

Good and Plenty.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Plenty of.

[Tom Griswold]

Not a good candy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You don't like the licorice with this? With the sweet coating?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I gotta be honest. When I was a child, I hated it. But I think now I would enjoy a nice Good and Plenty.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, Godwin's on your side. I loved it.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd have to see in candy sales. That's the democracy of candy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, I would say it's at the zero. Yeah, I would say it's low.

[Christy Lee]

It's gotta be low.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Low. Could you think of one lower than the Good and Plenty?

[Willie Griswold]

I don't know if you can.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe Circus peanuts.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Nuts. Yeah, whatever. What about Almond Joy? That's the one that has nuts. Of course, Mounds doesn't.

[Christy Lee]

I love the Mounds.

[Tom Griswold]

Pretty well.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Mount is great. Yeah, but people don't like Almond Joy. That seems to be one people that get upset by.

[Christy Lee]

The only time you ever saw Good and Plenty was at the movie theater. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, that was.

[Tom Griswold]

And I think it was a classic example of a great jingle making kids think, this is gonna taste good. And you'd get it and go away. Oh, I could have Spent that money a lot better.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You're watching Herby the Love Bug and you think you're gonna. You're. That was the age of. Of Good and Plenty. And you go, oh, you're right. Yeah. I hear the commercial. I'm gonna get Good and plenty, enjoy a 4 out of 10 Disney film. And. And then you open up your Good and Plenty like, oh, this. This thing just got sour.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Not good.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'll do it.

[Tom Griswold]

There's plenty of it. It's kind of like your classic joke, Pat. When something is not necessarily going well, you'll say, well, that song wasn't funny, but at least it was long. Yes, thank you.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe that's why there's plenty in the name, because there's going to be plenty left.

[Josh Arnold]

Oliver, have you even tried Good and Plenty?

[Oliver Pardo]

I've never had a Good and Plenty.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. They're pellets, kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

They look like large pills. Something like. They look like. Like large Prozac.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, are they that big?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, they look more like they're.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It's like a coated Mike and Ike. It's like that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, exactly. They're kind of capsules.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Black, white and pink. They come in three colors.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know the popular candy colors.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, because someone was sitting around going, wait a minute. M&M's. M&M's. Chocolate candy coating. Great idea. Melts your mouth, not in your hand. Perfect. Then some. We could do the same thing to licorice. What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Who's choosing those over snow caps?

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm not a fan of the snow cap.

[Christy Lee]

You're not.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't. I'm not a dark chocolate guy. So that you throw that.

[Ali Breen]

I don't.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Those little things get caught in my. I'm not. I'm out.

[Tom Griswold]

Those little things.

[Christy Lee]

What are those called? Those little white things on the snow caps?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't know. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, there's a name for it.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I just thought. Oh, candy pellets.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. No.

[Willie Griswold]

Are those the things you use to decorate like. Like a gingerbread house?

[Christy Lee]

Kind of.

[Willie Griswold]

Am I thinking bikini?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Would.

[Tom Griswold]

That is. What is nougat? That's in candy.

[Josh Arnold]

That's often found in the candy.

[Willie Griswold]

Is that in the musketeer? The three musketeer Nougat. Yeah, I think it's at all.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is it snicker? It's. I think it's in the 90 percentage.

[Tom Griswold]

That does remind me. We've been talking about great walk up music.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Baseball players have it. We'd all like you probably have it for your shows.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I walk up to Make Me Smile by Chicago Ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, great song.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But I was thinking of the day perhaps the instrumental from Journey to the center of the Mind with that's a Ted Nugent solo.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Regardless of how you feel about Ted, I love that solo.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know what I say about Ted? Horrible guitarist, great American.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm a little surprised to hear you say that.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't like the way he noodles about but Maddie's got good things to say. Good lord. I once made fun of Ted Nugent on this show. And the, the president of the Ted Nugent fan club. I've already alerted Ted to your thoughts. Okay. What am I going to do? Get hit in the neck with an arrow? What you going to do?

[Willie Griswold]

Well, you better be careful.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think I'll hear the buffalo a coming.

[Tom Griswold]

That's one of my favorite, favorite jokes. You know that joke about buffalo coming?

[Willie Griswold]

No, no. What could this be?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you don't know that joke?

[Willie Griswold]

No, man.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it's when. No, don't. Do not. Oliver, cover your ears. And also.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You're putting your ear to the ground and.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You know what is safe? Simply safe.

[Willie Griswold]

What a great idea. Welcome Oliver.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the, the, the, the. It's. It's a joke involving we know some somewhat light grasp of the English language and sentence. Sentence structure.

[Jimmy Pardo]

By the way, you think my references are old Oliver, tell them what your walk up music is.

[Oliver Pardo]

My walk up music is the beginning of signs by 5 man electrical band before it gets into like. The real part is they just kind of like goof around for a little.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He's 18. Why is he go walking up to something that a 74 year old man would walk up?

[Josh Arnold]

He didn't even go with Tesla signs which is dated.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I, it was just. I was at my house yesterday afternoon and my 10 year old daughter walked by and she was singing a classic rock song.

[Josh Arnold]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

How do you know that? And it's all from Stranger Things.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, that makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

Whatever. The, all these songs are making huge comebacks in, you know, all the Pixar movies. You're hearing all this great music and I always make the same point every year. If you pay attention during the super bowl, the commercials in the super bowl, half of them have classic rock in the background. So that's why the references are getting less and less obscure. We'll have to maybe come up with some more great walk up music. But right now I'm going to tell you about simply Safe.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

[Christy Lee]

Tired of partisan noise?

[Tom Griswold]

America's more divided than ever. But independent Americans is adding light to contrast all that heat.

Independent Americans Daily News with Army veteran Paul Reichoff.

Pressing issues the day make with leaders who are shaping what America will be in the future.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom SHOW live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Thank you so much for being here with us. There's Christy Lee at the news desk. Hello, John, Josh, Pat Godwin in the music room.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Willie [e-mail] sports desk. Hey, Ace Cosby's there. Hey, Josh. I am Josh, Arnold and Tom. We are joined by two terrific comedians and their appearances on the Bob and Tom show are sponsored by Lee's famous recipe chicken, famous for a reason.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Lee's famous recipe Chicken. Today is BRING YOUR SON to work Day. We have yours truly along with my son Willie G. Right there.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then across the way, it's a veteran standup comedian Jimmy Pardo.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Along with his son Oliver Pardo.

[Oliver Pardo]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Who is currently in college but also doing a little bit of drama, a little bit of a standup. And we were talking about how you're a big fan of classic rock. Yesterday. I was, I. I just gotten home and I'm walking by my, my 10 year old daughter Hart walks by and she's singing should I stay or should I go? Classic like what? Yeah, the Clash. And of course I said, where'd you hear that? And of course it's. It's Stranger Things, which she has now watched three or four times in its entirety. It's become her Life.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It's a 10 year old.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. She watching Stranger Things.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I kind of said too, Jimmy. But I'm not.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I bailed. And I like horror movies mainly. He says I'm watchable. But I think it's, I think scary.

[Tom Griswold]

It's. I think it's because of the, the kind of the, the camaraderie among the, the kids.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And they're. But she loves that show. She's got a Stranger Things bathrobe, posters, the whole. But the. But the other point of it is there's so many great songs that they're using and then obscure Bob and Tom show trivia. In the final season of Stranger Things, there's a scene in a radio station and if you look carefully, there is a Bob and Tom bumper.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is it really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, on the wall. So whoever is the art director for that show which is supposed to be taking place near here. So that. Pretty cool.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's great.

[Willie Griswold]

In season two, a kid. There's a poster of Mild Camp Camp Cam Crosley in the background. The art director on that show. Nailed it.

[Josh Arnold]

Is heart awareness of the, the Bob and Tom reference in Stranger Things.

[Tom Griswold]

I showed it to her the other day.

[Josh Arnold]

Did it up your cred with her at all.

[Tom Griswold]

You must understand, I get a lot of pushback even from, you know, like from Willie, but from Hart. It's unbelievable. The level.

[Willie Griswold]

Okay. What did I do, by the way? How did I get thrown in there? I really caught some shrapnel there. I didn't do anything.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You're, you're.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean the pushback I get from Hart is unbelievable. You give me a little bit of pushback, of course. Which is.

[Jimmy Pardo]

But why did he get friendly fire at all in that? You think the push back game for Willie's Horrible. Nobody was thinking that.

[Willie Griswold]

Remember when we were on here one day and he goes, will, he's a good kid. He keeps his head down.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I got a great deal of pushback from her. She has attitude, lots of it.

[Willie Griswold]

She's like a roast comedian now. She used to be so nice.

[Josh Arnold]

We got to get her in here.

[Willie Griswold]

It's.

[Jimmy Pardo]

She. She.

[Willie Griswold]

She can ruin your day with one little line.

[Tom Griswold]

I can ruin it right now. You know what she did? What? The gym that we go to, they do a NCAA men's college basketball pool. It's like five bucks a hit. Last year, she won $1,000.

[Josh Arnold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Now she drew a. She drew the.

[Tom Griswold]

You draw.

[Christy Lee]

You draw a bracket.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

She won a thousand bucks. Guess who she drew two weeks ago?

[Christy Lee]

Arizona.

[Tom Griswold]

Illinois.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

So. And again. So there's a good chance that she'll win another thousand.

[Willie Griswold]

This isn't a joke. She has more money than I have in my checking account right now.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

It's just 100% true.

[Tom Griswold]

She wants to get another dog. So last night, she's going, look, I can. Because she's. She's got a picture of the dog she wants to get from the kennel. And, you know, we already have two, and we're not getting another one. Yeah, I hope, but no.

[Christy Lee]

You want another dog, but I don't

[Tom Griswold]

get a vote on this one.

[Jimmy Pardo]

How much is the Stranger Things robe? Is it a thousand dollars?

[Josh Arnold]

It seems like a would be, doesn't it?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, it seems very niche, and it's.

[Tom Griswold]

It is a nice row.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't doubt it. Nobody's doubting that, Tom. Nobody's. How bad's this robe? No, nobody. That wasn't the first thought. Like, yeah, it's not a good robe. Like, nobody thought that.

[Tom Griswold]

Of course, then I. I had a nice room at a poster made. If you see the poster, it looks like she's in Stranger Things.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, little graphic design.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's fun.

[Tom Griswold]

We spent quite a bit of time with that, but it's perfect.

[Christy Lee]

Does she love it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Jimmy, are you a robe man?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Jimmy Pardo]

In fact, I don't know anybody that's a rogue person. And then I. I always see it on movies and tv where they always walk out with their coffee and their robe. I've not. I don't know a single robe person. Are you a robe guy?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not either.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't own one.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, right.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know that I'm against it, though.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm not against it, but I do think it's weird, though. If I show up at a friend's house and they go, hey, come on in. And they're in a robe.

[Josh Arnold]

That's odd.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What are you doing, Hugh Hefner? Put some pants on.

[Willie Griswold]

I only ever use a robe at a hotel if I'm gonna go do laps or something. And every time I think I look fine, and then I get in the elevator and I look at myself in the mirror and it's just way too short. You can see my knee. It looks like I'm wearing, like, a fun little beach cover up slip. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a hotel robe.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yes.

[Willie Griswold]

No, I do. Wow, that's me. And I just use it to go down there. And I. Every time I look in the.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I go this.

[Willie Griswold]

I look huge and dainty at the same time.

[Jimmy Pardo]

When you say laps, swimming is what I understand. Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Scoofing around down there.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You love it. But you put the robe on, you get out there, splash them out.

[Tom Griswold]

They're weird. And they've got the belt.

[Christy Lee]

What? Of course they have a belt.

[Josh Arnold]

The Ob, as it's known.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What is the. The. The belt's known.

[Josh Arnold]

Belt has its own name. Obi. That's crossword 101 right there.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah, Like Obi Wan Kenobi.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Huh.

[Christy Lee]

Japanese term.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

The kimonos.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to look that one up. I didn't. Yeah, but I forgotten. Yeah, that's right.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now, Christy, you. You gave us robes years ago. Mine is in storage somewhere.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, with the Bob and Tom logo on it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oliver, would you like a robe?

[Oliver Pardo]

I'm not a big robe guy. My roommate's a robe guy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He is?

[Oliver Pardo]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

So you're a college. Your college roommate wears a robe all the time.

[Oliver Pardo]

Comes out with a robe, it's got pockets in it. And he always just walks around his hands in pockets. Just like. Like he's, you know, minding his field, you know?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, he's looking at his lions. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Are you guys in, like, a dorm? Like a shared thing, or does he have his own room?

[Oliver Pardo]

No, no, shared room.

[Willie Griswold]

And he's just robe on, robe on.

[Oliver Pardo]

Rocking the robe constantly.

[Christy Lee]

Is that good for a big bathroom? Like you have to a communal bathroom or do you guys.

[Oliver Pardo]

We have a shared bathroom, just the two of us.

[Josh Arnold]

One has to assume his father. His father is a Roman.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah, right.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Oliver Pardo]

Oh, yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Under the robe. What is. Are there pajamas under the robe?

[Oliver Pardo]

Sweatpants.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Very fair.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. One graceful tug and. Oh, hello.

[Willie Griswold]

Because my. My brother was a robe guy, and he would always wear it, and he didn't know you have to have basketball shorts or something under there.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He would just go al fresco.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah. He. He kind of likes being out.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. How about that? Lebowski was a Roman.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Oliver Pardo]

He was big, too.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace Robe. Yes or no?

[Josh Arnold]

I have one, but I don't.

[Christy Lee]

He has a really nice KISS robe that has Ace on it.

[Willie Griswold]

How do you know about that?

[Christy Lee]

Because I used to know someone in Kiss, and, yeah, he was gifted it because Ace Freely's not in the band anymore, and they thought. Never mind.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, that's a really nice KISS robe.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it is, isn't. It's red with black. It's really nice.

[Willie Griswold]

Avalon Attractions.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is that again. Avalon Attractions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The production company, Right? Is it. Is it a game? Warm robe.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Like Ace.

[Christy Lee]

No, it was for. No.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Still exciting. Quiet.

[Jimmy Pardo]

How did I lose you halfway through that? Chris, the word no is only two letters. Somehow you lost interest after the end. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

We're done.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm done. We're done. We're not talking robes anymore. Moving on.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to move on to sweatpants.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, great.

[Tom Griswold]

I am not a fan.

[Willie Griswold]

What do you mean?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't own any.

[Christy Lee]

He won't wear sweatpants.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't ever wear them.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know what?

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you like the comfort of the implication of failure?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Real. What?

[Christy Lee]

He won't. He won't wear a crew neck shirt either.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Say it again, please.

[Christy Lee]

A crew neck shirt.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Every shirt has to have a collar.

[Christy Lee]

Everything has to have a collar. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Can't wear a T shirt or a

[Christy Lee]

Henley because it buttons.

[Jimmy Pardo]

A Henley doesn't have a collar, but it buttons so that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I don't. I don't like the type.

[Jimmy Pardo]

So you would. We talked about the last time I was here. We talked at length about my classic rock T shirt collection. You don't wear T shirts at all ever?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Ever. You go, hey, ever to go out in the yard and garden. Let's pretend you do that. I'm gonna go out in the garden. Yard. Yarden. I'm gonna go out in the garden. Yarden. It happened to me. Did I used to have a stroke? Yeah. Oh, I did. Willie.

[Willie Griswold]

Of anyone? Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You are not a doctor, though.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Just. That's just.

[Willie Griswold]

It's okay. I'm not a doctor, though, but my dad does radio, so I know what I'm talking about. Don't worry about it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

So you go to the yard and garden. What do you put on, like a. A polo?

[Christy Lee]

Like what he's wearing I can't see

[Jimmy Pardo]

from that polo shirt. Like, okay, so a polo's okay?

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Even if it's. If it's jersey material, like a T shirt, shirt. As long as it has a collar, you're okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Sweatpants.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

You wear sweatpants?

[Jimmy Pardo]

What are you asking me?

[Tom Griswold]

Do you wear sweatpants?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Really? You go out with them? You drive places and.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No, but I will. You know, here's the thing. I wear sweatpants as a sleep pant, okay? Because I don't like an open. I don't like bell bottom, you know, the Lucy pajama bottom? So I wear a sweatpant to sleep. And then like, oh, I need to run out to 711 or target. I will run out in those. But no, I won't go. Hey, I'll meet you for lunch. You wear a sweatpants, right? No, I'm not an animal.

[Tom Griswold]

Oliver, on the. On the college scene, do some of your contemporaries go to class in sweatpants?

[Oliver Pardo]

Oh, 100%.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Oliver Pardo]

One guy, a friend of mine. Friend.

[Christy Lee]

Friend.

[Oliver Pardo]

Lee, with him. He wore sweatpants every single day of class. Final day of class, he wore real pants. I said, how? Look at you in real pants. You know, Goes, come on, man, that's not cool.

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean?

[Tom Griswold]

It's your choice.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What do you mean?

[Oliver Pardo]

It was so weird. He was like, ah, come on. We don't talk about that, man. What do you mean? This is the only pair of pants you own?

[Jimmy Pardo]

What are you talking about?

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, But Tom does have Lululemon shorts.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Okay, so you wear you the tight Lululemon.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, just gym shorts. Wear them to bed.

[Christy Lee]

They're not tight like Lululemon leggings.

[Tom Griswold]

Baggy like underwear shorts.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't like basketball shorts.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I didn't know Lemon made a loose.

[Christy Lee]

I did not either.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Everything was tight with the little.

[Tom Griswold]

No, you like that? I'm not going to wear tight shorts to bed.

[Christy Lee]

I. You know what? I would not be surprised by anything that you do.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Where would you wear a tight short? Because I think I would only wear them to bed. I don't think I'd have the. The guts to wear a tight short out in the world. Yeah, but you know what? That's got a cushioned tucus.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's true.

[Tom Griswold]

You ever seen that? There's a famous picture of a. Of a cycling crew. It's all over the Internet, and they've got the super tight shorts on. And. Yeah, you can tell their religion.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, I get it.

[Tom Griswold]

Based on the focus. Yeah. Let's check in briefly with Christy Lee at the Baba Tom news desk. What's happening over there?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, boy. In Florida, authorities pulled over a motorist who had fake missiles sticking out of the back of his truck.

[Willie Griswold]

Funny.

[Christy Lee]

Florida Highway Patrol said it received multiple calls from drivers on Interstate 4.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, I get nervous when I drive behind somebody with Yosemite Sam. Mud flap.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I was gonna say. Who's this guy?

[Christy Lee]

Wiley Coyote, who reported what appeared to be, quote, a truck with missiles mounted to the truck bed.

[Tom Griswold]

So people thought these were real missiles?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. The so called rocket man was intercepted by state troopers on State Road 39 near Plant City. They determined the missiles were plastic devices used for show and events. Troopers offered the driver some advice on how to better transport the articles. What kind of show or event would you need? Fake missiles.

[Tom Griswold]

And don't fake missiles have to have orange tips like the.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Like a gun?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, right, like your fake gun.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe they were on their way to a Desert Storm reenactment. Oh, the Civil War. Everybody went, we've seen it.

[Christy Lee]

But see, even if they had orange tips, I wouldn't know that that was fake. I didn't know that until you just said that.

[Tom Griswold]

That you didn't know toy guns with the orange tips.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, absolutely. I did not know that.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I mean, but when, when you say, shouldn't missiles have an orange tip? Have you ever seen a fake missile? I've never seen a fake.

[Christy Lee]

I've never seen a fake missile.

[Josh Arnold]

Only in pictures from North Korea. Like those parades where they were. Remember, they were like all cardboard and stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

They had to cancel the parade because of rain. A nuke was melting on the trailer. There you go. There's.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my.

[Tom Griswold]

See those? Look, they look deadly.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I may call somebody if I see that too. I don't. I don't think I was envisioning that.

[Christy Lee]

No, I wasn't either.

[Josh Arnold]

They look real.

[Tom Griswold]

And that guy looks crazy enough to shoot him. That guy gets road rage, he takes out the minivan behind him.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, I'm calling the. If I encounter that in the Panera Bread drive through, I'm calling the code cops for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, that's that. They both look deadly.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he's got a bunker.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, there's no. He's got a. With cans of beans. They look a little bit like the toy rocket. When we, when we were kids, we had the toy rocket that you would light. You'd hope it go up in the sky. It kind of looks like that a little bit. So I might have.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, the ones you pump with water?

[Christy Lee]

No, you would light it.

[Tom Griswold]

Cuz those things are great.

[Josh Arnold]

Those are pretty good.

[Tom Griswold]

Those were fun and they worked.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Nobody said they didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, because a lot of the stuff. When you were me, did you ever get. Did you ever fall for the sea monkeys in the back?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Even the Evil Knievel where it's like, yeah, you cranked it up and it's like it's gonna go over Snake River. It's like it barely came off the ramp. There we go. He dunks and he fall on his side. Foot and a half later.

[Tom Griswold]

And Oliver, Oliver, I think both you and Willie grew up in an era when the toy surprises and cereals were really crappy. They were like wrapped in plastic bags. When we grew up, we'd get like these metal submarines. You'd put a tablet in them and you'd get in the bathtub, they'd go dive, dive, dive. But those days are gone. The toy surprise. But I. There was also a period of time. Are they still doing a lot of the toys at fast food places?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Because there was an era in my life when I had. In the backyard in the back of the suburban, there'd be 14 toys from the history of fast food restaurants.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Really? You have a father that probably bought you stuff like that, right?

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Weird stuff. Yeah, you bet.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, yeah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I got a bunch of weird stuff coming up. Christy, we've got a little bit of history for you.

[Christy Lee]

All right?

[Tom Griswold]

It'll be sexy time with Ali Breen, which might be extraordinarily awkward. Today we have a.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He's in college. I think we'll be okay.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

You said that.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe the episode a couple of weeks ago involved a man who wanted to be urinated on. How you feeling?

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

You okay, Oliver?

[Oliver Pardo]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So you're gonna find that normality starts to fade.

[Josh Arnold]

Aren't you glad you're just with Robe guy in college. Now?

[Tom Griswold]

What are we doing tomorrow, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Tomorrow we're going to Cincinnati. Actually, Covington, Kentucky, to Smoke justice, where we'll be live as we celebrate opening day for the Cincinnati Red Reds. And guess who how I'm getting there?

[Tom Griswold]

In your Hyundai.

[Christy Lee]

And if you're looking for an adventure ready SUV like the Tucson, check out the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Santa Fe Hybrid, because Hyundai is doing the getaway sales event. It's going on right now.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie Griswold's at the Originsouls.com sports desk. Good morning. Pat Godwin's in the music room.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hello.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Ace Cosby. Hey.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hey, Ace.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm Josh Arnold and Tom, please introduce our special guests.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a comedian, Jimmy Pardo, here with us, one of our favorites. We've known Mr. Pardo for a long, long time. He's a great stand up, incredibly original. What I've loved, always loved about Jimmy Pardo, I can't say, oh, he's just like, nope. He's got his own thing going and it's great. Also a podcaster. He's also a dad.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Jimmy Pardo has been accused of being the father of Oliver Pardo. I say it that way and I word it that way very carefully.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What are you doing? What's this?

[Tom Griswold]

What's this? The word bit implying that there's some humor intended here.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What's going on now? I'll explain to Oliver. This is an unconventional radio show. You've probably noticed that we do almost everything wrong. We're not really good at this. I can't think and talk at the same time. Probably chose the wrong career. Now, in the back of the glass there is Jason and I've asked him to pop up a photograph. We able to find this. There we go. This is the band Gary Lewis and the Playboys. And you'll notice the resemblance of Gary Lewis. He happens to be the son. The son of the son of Jerry Lewis.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Let me just say this. My son's more handsome than that. How dare you.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, hey.

[Jimmy Pardo]

See this ugly guy? That's you son. Yeah. What the. What's the. What's the matter with you?

[Josh Arnold]

This, this is the matter with you. This is what Tom does. He.

[Christy Lee]

He's a bully.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He doesn't think these things are true. No kidding. Oh, that'd be really funny. What the.

[Tom Griswold]

Here we go. A little bit of.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Of a young girl.

[Tom Griswold]

This is Count Me in from Gary Lewis and the Playboys. If you need someone to count on,

[Jimmy Pardo]

this is your son.

[Tom Griswold]

Well done, boy. And then of course, wasn't this diamond

[Jimmy Pardo]

ring, wasn't that their big hit?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, this is it.

[Tom Griswold]

This is written by Leon Russell, I think.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, big hit. Hit.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You actually would like this.

[Oliver Pardo]

We had a lot of fun recording

[Tom Griswold]

this one in the studio. Do you have another photograph of Gary that. Oh, look at.

[Jimmy Pardo]

There you are, boy.

[Ali Breen]

There.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I mean, there's my son.

[Christy Lee]

Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't see the resemblance?

[Josh Arnold]

You know what, when he walked in, I thought, oh, I. And. And then you mentioned you're an actor. I'm like, oh, dude, this has got Shalamet esque.

[Willie Griswold]

Absolutely, I about that.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Good save job.

[Josh Arnold]

It certainly is what popped in my mind.

[Jimmy Pardo]

See, look at that.

[Oliver Pardo]

I don't know about that.

[Christy Lee]

You, you are a perfect blend of your parents. I see.

[Oliver Pardo]

I would agree with that.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Perfect blend.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

And you can also play Protestant and Jewish.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What you say?

[Josh Arnold]

I said he could play Protestant and Jewish.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yes, he can. Yeah, he's very castable. Is that fun for you?

[Christy Lee]

He didn't have that cleft in his chin. What?

[Tom Griswold]

Find the more contemporary shot of Gary from maybe the 70s 3.

[Josh Arnold]

Now it's a picture of a coffin.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You're sitting there. You see my son. You go, you're typing away. You pull immediately pull up Gary Lewis.

[Christy Lee]

Exactly what he was doing.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Pull him up. I can't focus anything they're saying. Get it quickly.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, Oliver, does anybody say you look like somebody famous or.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah, usually I get Rachel Nat out. That's

[Tom Griswold]

And I. And I'm the one that's the boy. Yeah, I. I've seen Gary Lewis and the Playboys. They're still good for you. They're still touring.

[Willie Griswold]

How is that what we're talking about?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, are they in those, like, Happy Together tours? Like.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

You'll get one of the Turtles.

[Tom Griswold]

I think. I think Gary's out with his own band right now.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I just saw Atlanta Rhythm Section and Firefall. Oh, and Jefferson Starship Speech. Speaking of one member. Yeah, I don't think. I think it's one at all. Maybe Firefalls, everybody. Anybody.

[Tom Griswold]

But I don't think Atlanta Rhythm Solution has any of them. I think they're all dead.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Jimmy Pardo]

No, these guys are all about 80, so I think.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't think they're alive.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think it's the same lead singer. I swear to God.

[Tom Griswold]

He's dead for sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Atlanta arrhythmia section.

[Christy Lee]

Hey,

[Tom Griswold]

It's the AFIB material. Yikes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know what else I just saw? I just saw this. This Number two. I saw him twice within one. I've never seen him. I saw him twice in one month. I went to see Air Supply. Yeah. And it's wonder. In the middle of it, they. They give this nice speech on their 50th anniversary tour. And the one guy, Graham is talking about Russell, and he said, I met this guy 50 years ago, and he. And he had the most beautiful voice. And I said, I'm going to start a rock band with that guy. And guys, I imagine one day they will.

[Tom Griswold]

Kind of. Quiet was it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It was actually fantastic, but I don't think you can call it rock. I think it's. It was. They had two electric cellists, which I thought was really cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that is cool.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm a fan of the electric, you know, stringed instruments. Who I don't like is the guy who plays the electric fiddle. I don't like that guy. You ever see the. The guy that plays electric fiddle? Very aggressive. They come at you, like, angrily. They hunch over. It's like, back off, Wizard. There's no need to do that.

[Willie Griswold]

Take your Nine Inch Nails cover and get out of here, pal.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't need that.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't see them. Roxy Music had one for a while. He was great.

[Jimmy Pardo]

The electric fiddler.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, electric. He played a bunch of stuff, but, yeah, he played the electric violin for some.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. The electric violin seems to be a thing that's coming on a lot.

[Josh Arnold]

And now firefall was that you are the woman that I always dreamed of.

[Christy Lee]

It's kind of a yacht rock staple.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That song. I'll say that I Got there a Little Late. And Firefall did 20. Atlanta Rhythm Section did 20. And then Jefferson Starship played I Got There a Little Late and I missed that song by Firefall.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no.

[Jimmy Pardo]

So I had to sit through the rest of it. Who opens with the hit?

[Willie Griswold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's. Let's grab our history lesson, shall we?

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And we'll. We'll teach this Oliver and Willie some history gift. Take history in column.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah. And then you may be. You may take notes. May be able to help me here. This is what happened on this date in history, including birthdays, for example. Now, this is true. This is. We. I asked you this earlier in the show. You guys missed this. In 1939, Billboard introduced their country music chart, which today, if you grab a copy of Billboard magazine, it will have, you know, whatever. Alternative rock. Right. Rock, etc. It was referred to as hillbilly hits.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Which I think would. Could be considered somewhat pejorative. You don't think so?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, no, it is.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I mean, I use the word hillbilly a lot because I think it's a funny word.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

But I don't think that. Yeah, right.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

It seems insulting.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Right. I could go with hill person. I think that's better.

[Christy Lee]

My dad was a hillbilly, so I can say it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But hillbilly hits. It sounds like they're gonna have a picture of their wives with black eyes.

[Willie Griswold]

Not laughing at the joke, laughing at the lack of reaction. And then him laughing at his own joke.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He did laugh. His little joke. Was that why. That. Is that the whole reason this thing came up?

[Josh Arnold]

In his defense, the original name of Cops was hillbilly hits.

[Jimmy Pardo]

There's the save. I wonder what they had.

[Tom Griswold]

What was the hip hop chart labeled in the beginning?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Probably can't print that. How about this one? John Lenon and Yoko Ono look and go. The first. The first Bed in for peace. Remember this? In Amsterdam.

[Josh Arnold]

Bed in.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Bed in what year? 69. They were.

[Christy Lee]

I was into the Monkeys. I could have cared less.

[Tom Griswold]

They were quite literally doing press conferences and they were. They locked themselves in a hotel room in Amsterdam.

[Jimmy Pardo]

We've all seen that photo. It's a very famous photo.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, how about this one? Happy birthday, Aretha Franklin. She was born on this date in 1942. Remember when she was. Remember the funerals? And they changed her outfit? I'm not making this up. I'm completely serious. Because she had several at her viewings. At the viewings, I think was like

[Josh Arnold]

six hours long, if not longer.

[Tom Griswold]

And they. But they were costume changes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Really.

[Tom Griswold]

Of the corpse.

[Willie Griswold]

Did not know that people wanted to pay their respct.

[Josh Arnold]

They did.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know what? Yes.

[Willie Griswold]

It's not really a laugher.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No, it is, but it's.

[Willie Griswold]

It's something.

[Tom Griswold]

She was D E C E A S E D at the time. She was the Queen of Soul. Are you familiar with that phrase?

[Oliver Pardo]

Oh, sure. Yeah. I know Aretha Franklin.

[Tom Griswold]

Now the Queen of Rock would be Elton John. It's also his birthday. Let him go. Now here's something I None of you are going to know this.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay?

[Tom Griswold]

What is Elton John's because he changed Reginald Dwight. No, that's not the question.

[Willie Griswold]

Lu Al Sender.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Muhammad Ali Long John Baldry first band. His. His real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight. But his and his professional name is Elton John. But he legally changed it and he gave himself a middle name.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hercules.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. Very good.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That didn't even wait for you to finish.

[Josh Arnold]

Hercules is hilarious. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He named himself Hercules not after the famed Hercules, but after a TV show that was on. Was when he was a kid in England.

[Josh Arnold]

Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, that's. Yeah, that is his true middle name Now. Elton. You're right about Elton John. Remember the source of Elton.

[Josh Arnold]

Say it again.

[Tom Griswold]

The source of Elton.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he named himself after some famous person named Elton. Some sax player or something. And John is another famed person for him.

What happened was I was working for MCA Records, and Elton John was on his Red Strikes Back. That was his new album, and it was his comeback with, you know, I don't want to go on with you like that. That, that song. And Elton, it was a private. It was a private thing for the MCA people and. And selected invitees. And Elton was to play at the piano. Not any farther than you are for me right now, Chris. Like literally seven feet away from all of us. Elton was going to come and play his new song and some hits. And it was on a stage that was maybe a foot high. And Elton's late. And Elton's late, late. And Elton's late. And they keep saying, hey, Elton's not here. Elton's not here. And my boss, a guy named Jim Haldeman, said, hey, Jim here does stand up. Let's have him go up there and to a room full of people who don't want that. And I'm like, I go, oh, what? And then so the head of MCA comes over and goes, hey, Jim just said, you do stand up. I'm gonna need you to go up there and entertain the audience. And I was like a young person at MC and like, well, that's what the bosses want. I guess I have to go do this. Even in my head going, this is going to go horribly. And then I'm about to. All right, so, hey, everybody, Elton's a little late, so we're going to. We're going to bring up from the Chicago branch, we're going to bring up a guy. He's going to do some stand up for you. Please welcome J. What? What now? Elton John. And then Elton comes out and plays the songs. And I would. I was never more relieved. Even as a young comic, I'm like, well, you know, you think, well, this would be great stage time. Even I knew this will be a disaster. And it got that close. All right, please. What? What?

[Tom Griswold]

Awesome.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, what a save.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, that is great.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. And then he was a very nice guy to me. And Bernie Toffen was there as well. So it was Elton and Bernie and Great story.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's great. When we come back and we found out the. That a time you did have to open, if there was one where it did not go well, necessarily the. The wrong fit, if you will.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

The. Everyone has that story. Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

My son does it every night.

[Tom Griswold]

We're coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Add to or continue the conversation. Check out the Bob and Tom Show. On Facebook. Get the link at bob and tom.com. this is the Bob and Tom show,

[Tom Griswold]

boys.

[Josh Arnold]

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

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Josh Arnold]

Pat Godwin is in the musical arena.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

There's Willie [e-mail] sports desk.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, dude.

[Josh Arnold]

Ace Cosby's across the way. Hey, I'm Josh Arnold and Tom. We're joined by a favorite of ours and a new favorite of our comedian.

[Tom Griswold]

Jimmy Pardo is here. He has brought along his son Oliver, and the boys are gonna be on a mini tour that consists of, this evening, a couple shows at the famed Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana. Tonight only.

[Josh Arnold]

Oliver, how is it traveling with your dad?

[Oliver Pardo]

Oh, it's great. There's a lot of laughs. You know, we gotta get to the airport about seven hours early, but besides that, it's a great time.

[Christy Lee]

Harry will be okay, trust me.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, he's not talking about anything governmental. You're making fun of me.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I always do that.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I need to get to the airport very early.

[Tom Griswold]

Me, too.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I'm nuts.

[Willie Griswold]

Does he do anything weird at the airport? Because my dad gets his shoes shined at the airport. He gets three coffees before the plane takes off. We'll be in line boarding. He's grabbing another coffee.

[Tom Griswold]

I love the shoeshine at the airport. It's great.

[Willie Griswold]

Does your dad have any weird airport activities?

[Tom Griswold]

Activities?

[Oliver Pardo]

Nothing like that. I mean, no.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. No, he is a psycho. He's diagnosable for sure.

[Oliver Pardo]

The only guy buying the Rolex at the Rolex store in the airport

[Josh Arnold]

or

[Jimmy Pardo]

the guy buying a suit.

[Willie Griswold]

Who's my.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, my suit. I forgot my suit. Oh, luckily, there's a Brooks Brothers here. The one that. The thing that I do that I'm nuts about. My son's being very kind by not mentioning it. I have to be the first person on the planet plane. I have to be. I and I. If. If, like, you and I are talking. Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And then they go, we're about to start boarding. Blah, blah. You could be talking. I'm not hearing a word you're saying. Because I'm like, okay, I gotta be first. I gotta be first. I gotta be first. Then I'll go, we're not boarding. And then I go. I maneuver my way up there, and if somebody beats me to it, I'm like, oh, you gotta be kidding me.

[Christy Lee]

Do you fake something so you can get that pre board card?

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't. I Should. That would be a lot stressful if

[Tom Griswold]

I had the card.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Jimmy Pardo]

But I don't know. I just.

[Christy Lee]

You have to be first in your zone phone then, is what you're saying.

[Jimmy Pardo]

No, no, I can't be more clear. I have to be the first person on the plane after, you know, the crew.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And then it must be me.

[Christy Lee]

Well, how do you get ahead of the pre board people?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, you mean. Oh, the.

[Christy Lee]

The wheelchair people.

[Tom Griswold]

He pushes them down.

[Oliver Pardo]

Easy to get around.

[Josh Arnold]

That's got to be awkward for you. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

You're fighting active Marines, trying to board before them.

[Jimmy Pardo]

This is my service, sir. This is my best battle. You know what? You're right. After them.

[Christy Lee]

Okay?

[Jimmy Pardo]

After them.

[Christy Lee]

Do you touch the plane when you go in? Do you have those kind of things?

[Jimmy Pardo]

No, no, I don't have any ritual like that. It's just. It's just my banana nuts. I've got to be on first after the people you just mentioned. I apologize. I did not mean to disparage those folks. They are allowed to get on first.

[Willie Griswold]

Too late.

[Josh Arnold]

You're a monster.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, well, look at Pardo. He just pushed a guy in a wheelchair out of the way.

[Willie Griswold]

There is an active service person with a young child in a wheelchair right now, just furious at the radio video.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, but it's important. I gotta be on there.

[Tom Griswold]

You were talking about how you almost had to open for Elton John.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Spontaneously, without knowing. Have you ever been paired with the wrong. Well, wrong act?

[Jimmy Pardo]

You know, two come to mind. The. The one that's less entertaining is I. I opened up for an Elvis impersonator. So that was not great. The audience did not want me.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're. They're waiting for the fake Elvis.

[Jimmy Pardo]

They're waiting for fake Elvis. But what I did is I kept on pretending that it was really going to be Elvis. And I just go on, a king's coming. Get ready, guys. The King. And every time this woman in the front would go, it's not the real Elvis. I'm like, I know that, ma'.

[Christy Lee]

Am.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Not an idiot.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good.

[Jimmy Pardo]

But the person that I was paired with, and he's a very nice man, and this is 100 true story, was Tommy Chong. And that's not my scene. I'm not a. You know, everybody was a hippie and a dope smoking smoker joker. And. And, you know, and so that.

[Tom Griswold]

That.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That was the audience, was that. And so, Tommy, we were doing three shows in Cedar Rapids, and I don't know why I pointed at you, Willie.

[Willie Griswold]

And I love Cedar Rapids, man.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You're familiar with it. It's on a map. Willie gets it. So, Tommy, you know, as comedians do. Tommy, we do the first. We do night one. And again, I have nothing in common with Tommy. He's like, you know, hey, man, you want to go get lunch tomorrow? And I go. I go, nah, I'm good, Tommy, thank you so much. You know, I going to work on my act. We all know that's not true. So then the second night, he goes, hey, man, I'm going to go to the mall tomorrow. You want to go? I go, you know what? I don't like malls. I'm not a big mall guy. I love the mall. I couldn't wait to go to the mall. Now I can't go because I might run into him. And then the third day. This is 100% true. He calls me up and he goes in. In my room, and he goes, hey, man, it's Tommy. I'm going to go down for lunch. You want to join me? And I go, you know what? I'm not eating today. And that was my week with Tommy Ch. I just. And in retrosp, it's like, you couldn't go to lunch. Yeah, Tommy's a legend. You couldn't. But I just was. So it wasn't my scene. And I just, at the time, didn't feel comfortable.

[Tom Griswold]

Did the audience get you?

[Jimmy Pardo]

If I'm being honest, it was a rare. They enjoyed me and didn't really care for the headliner very much. Tommy, was. He. This. He had. He had just started come going back out on the road on his own, and he. What he was doing was he would call Cheech and Cheech, and he would do a thing with Cheech on the telephone, and he would do it. And she said, you know what? I don't want to do that anymore. And so this was the first show without Cheech on the phone, and Tommy didn't know what to do. And so it was kind of. I. I should have went to lunch with the guy, I guess what I'm saying. Guy's already having a tough three days. Can't go to lunch and help him out. Yeah, it was.

[Tom Griswold]

It was.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He. It was all wrong. He got a standing ovation. And. And then by the end of it, people were just kind of. And I. It was. I felt bad.

[Willie Griswold]

It's tough, Lee.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. They still go out occasionally.

[Jimmy Pardo]

They do. Now. This is. This is 1990. This is a long time ago. This is a long time ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now we're going to take a Short break. Because we have Ali Breen standing by for the famous show Sexy Time, which we'll certainly look forward to. And then we will. Are we going to be joined by all.

[Christy Lee]

Oliver.

[Tom Griswold]

I was.

[Christy Lee]

Why not?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, you mean for the. For Sexy Time. He saw Pulp Fiction when he was nine. He's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

All right, good. This is.

[Tom Griswold]

This is where we.

[Christy Lee]

He's not.

[Jimmy Pardo]

He's not four years old. He's in college. Do you remember when you were in college?

[Christy Lee]

We're just. We're just awkward because we were around when he was born.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, well, so was I. I thought

[Tom Griswold]

it was Gary Lewis. Now we're going to. So insulting.

[Willie Griswold]

He's doing callbacks to a mean joke. Why would you call him back?

[Tom Griswold]

Why would you call him back? I'm gonna find a photograph that looks just like right now. I want to talk about my feet or your feet or Josh's feet. Help me here, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Brought to you by Lee's famous recipe, chicken. Hope to see you and or hear you there. Coming up, sexy time with Ali Bruno. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, it's the Bob and Tom Show. Thank you for being here. We are live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Chris Daley at the news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie Griswold'[e-mail] sports desk. Hey, Ace Cosby's there. Howdy. There's Pat Godwin in the music room. Hey, Josh. I am Josh Arnold and Tom. We're joined by two terrific guests and I think somebody on Zoom as well.

[Tom Griswold]

I think so. We have family members. We have comedian. We have comedian Jimmy Pardo here, his son Oliver Pardo, and. Wait a minute, she's not home. It's comedian Ali Breen. Florida, is it Florida?

[Ali Breen]

No, I'm actually LA today. Oh, yes, I'm filming that. That Comics Unleashed this week.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that'll be cool. Now, are, are you in a hotel?

[Ali Breen]

Airbnb.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Looks very nice.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, I've gone full Airbnb. I stay in hotels pretty rarely.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Really.

[Tom Griswold]

We had a bizarre Airbnb story yesterday.

[Ali Breen]

Oh, what happened?

[Tom Griswold]

A woman was arrested because she was in an Airbnb and she was having herself videoed urinating on various things and then posting it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. On an. Only fans been off.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Called Fanley.

[Willie Griswold]

Fansly.

[Christy Lee]

Fansley. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Say it again for me.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, Allie.

[Christy Lee]

She was peeing on typewriters and toasters and antique chairs.

[Tom Griswold]

And we think, we think by request. We think people were, you know. Right, right. You know, contacting.

[Ali Breen]

That seems like a. Not a sexual request. That seems like something totally different. That seems like someone who just hates Airbnbs.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean. Yeah, all over the, all over the furniture.

[Josh Arnold]

It was really horrible.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, that's like Marriott requesting that to give themselves back a lot of business.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, we have to explain that. We have, we have young Oliver Pardo here. He is a freshman in college.

[Ali Breen]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

But we've, we gave him the PG13 warning about this segment. This, this involves questions from folks out there about the, the, the world of human sexuality and Ali. Would you care to read our first letter?

[Ali Breen]

Yes. He's probably heard worse Stuff than we have.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Thank you for saying that, Ali. Tom is acting like I brought a toddler in here

[Christy Lee]

who looks like Gary Lewis.

[Tom Griswold]

She finally saw the resemblance.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Nobody sees the resemblance.

[Willie Griswold]

There's no resemblance.

[Jimmy Pardo]

There's no resemblance.

[Oliver Pardo]

Tablets.

[Ali Breen]

Okay. Dear Ally, I found a bag of sex toys in my boyfriend's closet.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool.

[Ali Breen]

Butt plugs and flesh plates. Is this normal at all? I've only known men to use toys on women. I've never known them to use them on their own. What do you guys think?

[Tom Griswold]

So what does he have?

[Josh Arnold]

He has stuff for him. It sounds like Butt Plugs and Fleshlights. Yeah, That's a great band, by the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Butt Plugs.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, are they good? They're giving me the car.

[Josh Arnold]

About a sophomore slump.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Thank you, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I mean, it's. It. It's. Everything is on the first album, Dildonics, and after that, it's just. There's nothing there.

[Christy Lee]

Is it normal?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know if it's normal or abnormal, but it's word you should.

[Tom Griswold]

If.

[Josh Arnold]

If he's still having sex with you and, you know, everything's cool, that's just what he uses when he's alone.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oliver, what does an 8 year old think on this?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. He's hanging on to it.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Live your life.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, if it's not interfering with your love life, you're good.

[Ali Breen]

I mean, he could have found a full sex doll at this point. People have way worse things, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Where did she find it again?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Does it say in the closet?

[Ali Breen]

Boyfriend's closet.

[Christy Lee]

What was she doing snooping in his closet?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Mind your business.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ali Breen]

Well, yeah, he had to have had them buried, right? There's no way. I was just out somewhere.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I guess the fact that she had to discover it might be the problem. More like that he's not being honest and open about what he.

[Ali Breen]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

When do you bring that into the relationship?

[Jimmy Pardo]

I would say date one day. No way. I would. Are you kidding me? That. Hey, I bury that in the backyard in a hole and then take the time to dig it out if somebody's not around. I don't like finding that. It never comes up.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you don't the first day go, hey, by the way, I've got an immersible Fleshlight in the dishwasher when you're. When you're cleaning it out. Just put that back in my drawer by the bed.

[Christy Lee]

That's a tough conversation to start.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I mean, those couples find each other, right? They do I'm sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, let's. Let's take our next letter. What have you got, Allie?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Ally, I found naked pictures on. Oh, sorry, my hand. I got naked pictures on one of my boyfriends of one of my boyfriend's co workers on his phone. I was going to confront him, but he begged me not to and told me that he had made the pictures from AI just for fun.

[Willie Griswold]

What?

[Ali Breen]

Before and after. So it seems to be true. But isn't it nuts that he's doing this?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, so he showed you the before and after.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. That's really weird.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, wait a minute. He's got pictures. Naked pictures of one of his male co workers on his.

[Tom Griswold]

Female.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, I'm assuming female, too. And so she thought that he had been sent naked pictures. He was going to confront her. She. She was going to confront her and then found out that her boyfriend just made these on his own.

[Christy Lee]

Either way, that is not right.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think it's. I think it's worse. Yeah, I think it's right. It's worse.

[Christy Lee]

I think it is worse.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it. Either way would be bad, but. Yeah. So he's taking the. The face of a co worker and going on AI and creating fake pictures. Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

I know. It's not even. I mean, because the ones that I had made up of Josh don't even look that.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is that right?

[Willie Griswold]

It's like, why even bother with it?

[Josh Arnold]

Were they still. Were you still able to use them?

[Willie Griswold]

I gave you a mustache. That's my favorite version of you.

[Tom Griswold]

And by the way, generous in the groin area.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, certainly.

[Tom Griswold]

Good for you.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And will you send me those?

[Willie Griswold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

And then he showed those pictures to his girlfriend.

[Josh Arnold]

No, she found him.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, she found.

[Jimmy Pardo]

What's all this snooping going on?

[Christy Lee]

That's what I.

[Tom Griswold]

His defense was, was these aren't real pictures. She didn't send. We're not having a relationship. He's just. This is what she looks.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I break up with him immediately because that's weird.

[Christy Lee]

You're done. You're out.

[Ali Breen]

That's super weird. And if he can. If she confronted the girl on this one. Yeah. The girl probably has, like a case against the guy for something, I don't

[Christy Lee]

know, harassment or something.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That sounds really bad.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, when they break up, she needs to know that her. That picture she took with her parents by the Christmas tree is going to be greatly modified. Okay. By the way, you can reach Ali Breen, A L L I B R E E N at your favorite social media platform with your love troubles. Also, she is available as Ali B. In the. In the more adult oriented realm of,

[Christy Lee]

you know, only fans,

[Tom Griswold]

what you were

[Josh Arnold]

doing was way worse.

[Tom Griswold]

Want to embarrass young Oliver here?

[Ali Breen]

I just want to bring that up in front of my son.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Ally, let's get to our next letter. What do you got?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Ally, my boyfriend has a best friend who is female, and they had a falling out right before we met. So I had never met her. I never knew what the falling out was about, but apparently she just started reaching back out to him and their friends again. It makes me uncomfortable. And I know that their friendship existed before I did, but since they weren't friends when we started dating, I feel like I still have the right to be upset about this.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no.

[Christy Lee]

Grow up.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. No, you don't have that.

[Christy Lee]

God, no, you do not have the right to be upset about it. They're just friends.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, they were friends long before. I mean. I mean, whether she knew her or not.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there any naked pictures of her that they've included in the letter? Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Ali Breen]

You know what? It might be? She might be worried because she doesn't know what the falling out was about. That, like, one of them liked the other is more than friends or something. Maybe he explains that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Could be.

[Tom Griswold]

We better move on.

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, my husband and I just picked out a name for our little girl who's being born in June. He said afterwards, about two weeks later, I should tell you full disclosure, that that is the name of my first significant ex. I had no idea. And now I don't know if we need to change the name or not. It's going to make.

[Tom Griswold]

Change the name.

[Christy Lee]

Change the name.

[Oliver Pardo]

There's a lot of names.

[Ali Breen]

She said, I'm already upset because he's clearly been thinking about her this whole time.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, now, that's a stretch little too far there.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, no, that's a.

[Christy Lee]

No, he likes the name.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's an issue. That's a problem.

[Christy Lee]

But it will be an issue for the rest of your life. You can't do that.

[Josh Arnold]

Why? Did he keep his mouth shut?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. Daddy.

[Tom Griswold]

Daddy. Where did you get my name? Oh, well, yeah, that's a.

[Josh Arnold]

You can love your exact X. X's name as a name. I mean, it's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no, but that's.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I'm not saying that they don't.

[Tom Griswold]

There's lots of names to choose from.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah. And there's definitely association. If that was a significant X, I

[Tom Griswold]

would think now we can take this home here. Oliver, do you know what the Alternate names were for. You were going to be.

[Oliver Pardo]

I think it was between Oscar. Right. Oscar, Oliver. And then I think they stopped. They went to O on the book and they were like, we got it.

[Tom Griswold]

That's good.

[Christy Lee]

Wasn't he supposed to be a girl?

[Jimmy Pardo]

He's supposed to be a girl. Yeah. So it was Lucy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And Ruby.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And. And then that was it.

[Christy Lee]

And then surprise.

[Jimmy Pardo]

And then here he is. And it was Oscar until I think we were signing the. Doing the paper. And then Danielle's like, are we sure about Oscar? Like, I don't think we are. And then it was Oliver. And he is an Oliver. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Good choice.

[Tom Griswold]

Good choice. Now, Ally, is Ally A L L, I. Is that your actual name on your birth certificate?

[Ali Breen]

No, it's Allison.

[Tom Griswold]

Allison. Have you always been Ally?

[Ali Breen]

For the most part. Because everyone called me when I was a kid, they'd call me Alley Cat for the most part. But I got a lot of Breen Breeny. You know, those two. But, yeah, I've generally always been Allie.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. I see. Do you know what your parents were gonna name you had they not chose Ally?

[Ali Breen]

No, I have no idea. Actually.

[Tom Griswold]

They never gave.

[Ali Breen]

I do have a weird middle name. My mom's maiden name is my middle name, which is Forster. That was the only one that they put any, like, family significance into.

[Tom Griswold]

That's very distinguished.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Forster. Yeah. Forster Breen sounds.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Forster. Breen sounds really like a Supreme Court justice.

[Christy Lee]

What about you, Tom? I've always wondered because you have Jan, Jim, John, and then Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure what that's all about.

[Christy Lee]

Really. I never told you.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe a DNA test. I don't know. I'm not sure what happened. You can reach Ali Breen once again on your favorite social media platform. A L L I B R E E N. And this is gonna be cool. You're gonna be on this TV show coming up, Comics Unleashed.

[Oliver Pardo]

Yeah.

[Ali Breen]

I'm not sure when it airs, but it's that Comics Unleashed that they brought back this season. So I think it's, like, on CBS at some point, late night.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, good luck with that and let's get back to our letters. What have we got?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, my coworker has a car and lives right by my house. He drives me to work every day. I'm like five minutes from work. And he doesn't have to go out of his way at all. And I've never given him money. He made the joke the other day that I owe him. Ass grass or gas.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Nobody rides for free.

[Ali Breen]

Should I just Laugh this off, or is he serious? Now I'm uncomfortable, but it literally is only costing him pennies, so what would I even give him?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, Give him some cash.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Give him some. Some healthy amounts a month or something.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think she should have already given him some cash.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I do, too.

[Josh Arnold]

I think she should have already given him some ass.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hey, it's free. Maybe a lunch. Maybe something. Yeah. Thanks for driving me every day. Every Friday, I'll buy you lunch. I think that's. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Coffee or something.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, easy something.

[Ali Breen]

I think that in her mind, though, she's calculating it in actual real time where she's like. Like, he's not going out of. If I drove myself, it would take me three months to get up to a $20 bill. Like.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's not.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That's not the point.

[Christy Lee]

No, no, that isn't the point.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Then it comes down to, have you ever considered prostitution in a different sort of way?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe smoke a joint on the way to work. I don't know.

[Willie Griswold]

Unless you're, like, teachers or something, you know? Unless you're working hospital, then don't. But if you're at a movie theater,

[Ali Breen]

for sure, or on the way home, at least do a little vape or something on the way home.

[Tom Griswold]

Does he drive her both ways?

[Ali Breen]

I would imagine so.

[Christy Lee]

No, he leaves her at work. She has to find her way home.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just asking. Okay, well. Yeah, no, she should definitely give him some cash.

[Christy Lee]

Yes,

[Tom Griswold]

we have time for possibly two more letters. What have you got?

[Ali Breen]

Dear Allie, my wife and I have been together for years, and she's always been very natural. Downstairs. I've always loved it. We recently got to fooling around for the first time in months, and she is no longer natural. And it wasn't fresh. It had been a few days. So when I asked her about it afterwards, she just said she wanted to try something new. My question is, especially for the ladies, is this a thing that you just would do for yourself, completely unprovoked, or should I be worried this is for someone else?

[Tom Griswold]

Christy, your thoughts?

[Christy Lee]

I think she may have wanted to just try it on her own. I don't think she had to do it for someone else.

[Josh Arnold]

No? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Why out of nowhere, would she suddenly try this?

[Josh Arnold]

Because just like anybody would with a different kind of haircut or different.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The first time I shaved down there, it was, hey, I'm gonna try this.

[Christy Lee]

Mm.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Turns out I love it.

[Christy Lee]

Or maybe they've been together quite a while. Maybe she wanted to do something to spice things up a little bit.

[Josh Arnold]

Bit, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Try something different.

[Josh Arnold]

But you have every right.

[Tom Griswold]

Then she wouldn't she have gone clean instead of giving him the Don Johnson labia?

[Christy Lee]

Well, maybe she went clean and they couldn't do it that day.

[Josh Arnold]

You can also go, hey, you know what, babe? I really. I really kind of liked it the way it was.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Just tell her what you want.

[Josh Arnold]

But yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Hey, since we're on this topic, I recommend manscape use promo code Pardo get 20. Manscape.

[Josh Arnold]

Jimmy, I'm a big fan. You like the manscape? Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Promo quit.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Pardo.

[Tom Griswold]

I need to explain. Oliver. The. The attempt at a joke that failed miserably a few seconds ago when I said the Don Johnson labia. Don Johnson, famously on Miami Vice, always needed to shave. He was like always dead. The three day growth.

[Christy Lee]

But here's what you don't understand as a woman. I will talk to you about this. When your hair grows back, you can't shave it every single day because it gets very irritated. You have to wait till it grows to a certain length to shave it. If she had shaved it, you know, maybe on a Saturday. And then something came up and they didn't have relations that day. I'll talk in your terms. And then, you know, now it's a Monday night and the kids are at soccer practice and they're jumping in bed. So it's a little.

[Tom Griswold]

But it sounds like they hadn't jumped in bed for a long time.

[Jimmy Pardo]

That seems. That's the part that's sticking out to me. They haven't enjoyed company in over a month. A couple of. Of months.

[Christy Lee]

Well, maybe she wanted things to be spicy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I think she's.

[Christy Lee]

You think she's having an affair?

[Jimmy Pardo]

I believe she is, yeah. Because they have not had relations in. In several months. And then all of a sudden something's different downtown.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe she was trying to make it spicy and.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. She would have had that opportunity in the years past.

[Josh Arnold]

I think maybe she just had crabs.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Maybe because she's having an affair. She got crabs.

[Tom Griswold]

Crabs from Raul. The pool.

[Josh Arnold]

You can get it from a toilet seat, right?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Absolutely. Trying on pants at pennies.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Well, Ali, thank you very much once again. You can reach Ali Breen. A L L I B R E E N. And I watch your various social media to find out when you're going to be on the tv.

[Ali Breen]

Yes, I will let you guys know.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks for getting up early. It's always a pleasure, Ally.

[Ali Breen]

Yeah, no problem. Thanks, guys.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, now I want to ask you about getting the men, you go to the mailbox, you pull out the bills, bills, bills, bills, and that one from the credit card company. You've had a balance there for a long time and you might notice that lately all you can do, you can barely just pay off the interest on it. That's what happens with credit cards. And they can charge you over 20% interest and it's perfectly legal. Maybe you'd like to get out from under that. Well, in certain circumstances, that's pretty easy if you own your own home and you've had it for a while. The American housing market has been very interesting in the last several years. The average house in the USA is worth significantly more than it was even a few years ago. So American Financing has an idea for you. What you do is you take advantage of the equity in that house and you do a refi. You refinance the place and you can pay off all of that credit card debt at that high interest rate and start anew. They've sent me some numbers here. They've been recently doing some stuff in a in which their average client's saving about 800 bucks a month because they've refinanced the whole thing. And also they've got a thing out there going on. I'm not sure how much longer this is gonna go, but they've got a thing in which they can delay two mortgage payments so you can get your head back above water. This might be your situation. It might work for you. Do you own your own house? We'll give them a call and see if this would help you get away from that massive credit card debt.

So that kind of wraps up our little comedy tour. Oh, one more. Tim Cavanaugh at Mason City Limits this weekend, Friday and Saturday. Christy Lee, what's going on over at the news desk?

[Christy Lee]

Well, I thought I would do this story since we have a Chicago person here. Illinois may get a state sandwich thanks to a newly proposed bill.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

Rick Ryan, the state representative sponsoring a bill to name the Italian beat beef sandwich.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Gotta be the Italian beef.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Official state sandwich. It passed unanimously out of the House Rules Committee and now awaits a full vote. Mr. Ryan told NBC Chicago it's our most well known sandwich. Really represents a part of Illinois culture that so many of us enjoy.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I don't understand why it wasn't done 35 years ago.

[Josh Arnold]

40 years.

[Jimmy Pardo]

I mean, that's everybody there. Yeah, you got to get a beef, Jim. You're getting the beef. You're going with the jardiner or the sweet pepper. Jim.

[Tom Griswold]

So they made a good choice then.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Well, it's the only Choice. And what other sandwich are you gonna get?

[Willie Griswold]

Reuben, you gotta get the beef wet and hot.

[Tom Griswold]

What's the dip it. So this is the state, not just the city.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, the state of Illinois.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah. The Italian beef is everywhere.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. If you've seen the bear, you know what we're talking about.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but I mean, if you go to Springfield, Illinois, are you getting an Italian beef?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah, I think you're still. I think you got some transplants to then open up a Nicky's Italian or Portillo's. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they're everywhere.

[Willie Griswold]

I've had a great beef at Hoops in Peoria. Yeah, for sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, dude, we. You and I. You and I both.

[Willie Griswold]

I love Hoops. Yeah, I forgot that we're Hoops buddy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

You guys went to Hoops together?

[Josh Arnold]

We Hoops today.

[Tom Griswold]

Nice bar.

[Willie Griswold]

You can gamble in there. They make pizza. Yeah, till 2:00am you can. Oh, gosh, what a great place.

[Christy Lee]

Here's a story for Oliver. Can I do this one?

[Jimmy Pardo]

Oh, I hope it's not sexy, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

No, it's about young people and he's a young person turning to so called old school hobbies to get off their phones. Knitting, gardening, needlepoint, pottery, origami, bird watching. Any of these even Blacksmithing, Josh. Blacksmithing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, come on.

[Christy Lee]

With Gen Z and Millennials. In recent years, these so called grandma hobbies were first embraced by younger generation in 2020, but have persisted beyond obviously that downtime, if you will.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, there's that one blacksmith. Oh, Will.

[Willie Griswold]

A Fresh Prince. I'm familiar.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yes.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Any of those appeal to you, Oliver? Is that something you would do?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Oliver Pardo]

Who would? I don't know anybody that would.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a hobby that's. I don't know if I do have

[Oliver Pardo]

like, I suppose a board game. I like board games. You know, that kind of stuff. Because also you get to do it with somebody.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, no one's here. Yeah, no one's blacksmithing.

[Willie Griswold]

I'll see you later.

[Oliver Pardo]

I got some hilts. I got

[Tom Griswold]

the blacksmithing club at Yale.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of ladies are knitting and.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

That kind of thing.

[Tom Griswold]

They always have been.

[Willie Griswold]

I remember we went to colonial Williamsburg and we watched a blacksmith make a nail and it took him like 45 minutes. And then he was like, yes. At the end of the day, I made 12 of these and I was like, even at like nine, I was like, oh, this is sucks. I would never want to. Why would you do this?

[Tom Griswold]

The only reason that we know what an anvil is is because of cartoons.

[Willie Griswold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Because the. The anvil is the staple. Always funny. Usually falling.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Usually hitting someone in the head. Hilarious.

[Willie Griswold]

Or a coyote in the head.

[Tom Griswold]

Other than that, you would not know what an anvil is. Yeah, no, I.

[Josh Arnold]

Now, in cartoons, do you prefer your black anvil or do you want the red with the silver sort of tip? Oh, sharp point.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, I like the classic black and.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Is there controversy over. I think there is a debate on this online.

[Josh Arnold]

It's divisive.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, can you do the math in your head when they say Gen Z? All that millennial Gen Z, I can never remember.

[Josh Arnold]

Oliver, where do you fall?

[Oliver Pardo]

I'm Gen Z. But we're on Gen Alpha now. Like the youngest people now are all Gen Alpha.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Oliver Pardo]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. There's too many of them. Alpha, which set, which flight.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, you are. You're Alpha to almost like young Gen X, aren't you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Or Alpha to Elder Millennial.

[Christy Lee]

I think you cover all bases.

[Jimmy Pardo]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Well, fellas, it's a great pleasure. Oliver, it's so nice to meet you and I'm sure you'll be doing great on stage tonight. You're a very funny guy.
