Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Live from Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Carb Day & Indy 500 Fever

• Carb Day Events: Cast members (Christy Lee, Josh Arnold, Willie Griswold) are on location at the Speedway for Carb Day, the traditional final day of Indy 500 practice (even though cars haven’t used carburetors in years—leading to much joking about tradition vs. modernity).
  • [04:20] Tom: “Carb Day, carburetion day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Even though there are no carburetors, there’s a lot of activity.”
• Wienermobile Race: Excitement is high for the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile race on the track, with celebrity “commander in beef” Andy Richter in charge.

  • [124:21] “Meatloaf Maggie.”
  • [126:42] Tom: “Every year, Oscar Mayer ushers in a new class of hotdoggers. You only get to be a hotdogger for a year. This is a big finale for us.”

7. Iconic Guests—Indy Champions and Racing Folks

• In-depth segments with two-time Indy winners Al Unser Jr. and Arie Luyendyk (now working as a racing steward), with discussion about how on-track penalties are flagged and how racing has changed. Plus, their dream “walk-up” songs for a pace lap.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Live from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's the Bob and Tom Show. Let's see. Hello, Jeff, Oskar. Hello. There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. There's Ace Cosby. And at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there's Josh Arnold. Hey, hey. There he is. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

You're going to have to be louder than that. Well, hang on. Okay. Yep, We're. We're moving buttons. And there's Willie Griswold.

[Willie Griswold]

Good morning, Chick.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Damn right. And here's your papa. Hey, Papa.

[Christy Lee]

Here's.

[Chick McGee]

Here's Tom. Tom. Papa. That's weird. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's somebody else. Hey, Wilbur. How are you, buddy?

[Willie Griswold]

Good, dad.

[Tom Griswold]

Good to see you, Son Number two. I haven't seen you yet. I haven't seen you for a few weeks. It looks like it's pretty dark there, guys.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's pretty dark.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it's because it's nighttime.

[Christy Lee]

There's a lot going on. Yeah, you can hear that, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Today is what they call carb day, carburetion day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And even though there are no more carburetors these days, there's a lot of activity. I spent the entire day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

You got a hot dog? I saw the picture.

[Tom Griswold]

I did, but had some great interviews with some drivers. And you always forget how big the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is. What do they say you can fit, like, Yankee stadium in there 12 times or something?

[Josh Arnold]

It's at least, like. At least seats like 15,000. Yeah, I mean, at least.

[Christy Lee]

I think it's more like 350,000.

[Tom Griswold]

What? I know that Kurt Kavana famously counted the seats one year.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he did.

[Christy Lee]

And, oh, my gosh, can you imagine?

[Tom Griswold]

And they made him do it one at a time. It was quite a chore.

[Christy Lee]

Walk through every.

[Tom Griswold]

There's several hundred thousand people will be in there. This is the largest spectator event in the world coming up, of course, on Sunday. But today is. This is sort of like the opening day of the baseball season that we always enjoy in Cincinnati. It's going to be a huge crowd. They'll have music and all kinds of stuff. I understand that the Wiener Mobiles are there.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, they take off around 2, 2:30 Eastern Time. So we're looking forward to a great. A great weenie race.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm gonna have my picture taken in the Wieners Circle.

[Christy Lee]

We have Andy Richner as Randy Richter. Richter. As our commander in beef.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he's not coming on now this morning.

[Christy Lee]

I hate to tell you, but he wasn't.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyway, that's a big star, Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

From one sidekick to another, I'd love.

[Christy Lee]

I know.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the wiener mobiles will be racing. Well, that'd be.

[Christy Lee]

But this is the final practice for all the guys before the Indianapolis 500, which is why it's so important, especially for three of the guys who crashed on Monday. So it'll be interesting to see. Rossi has been cleared to drive. He has a non weight bearing injury, so he's on crutches, but as he said, it doesn't bear any weight in the car. And I'm like, okay.

[Willie Griswold]

What a psycho, right?

[Josh Arnold]

So cool.

[Christy Lee]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. What a badass. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you, Tom. That's what I was thinking. Badass.

[Tom Griswold]

And you forgot the lady.

[Christy Lee]

Christy Catherine Legg doing the double.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not just guys.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's one lady Coca Cola. And they'll anger me again this year when they. They have genericized and politically corrected one of the most famous phrases in the world of racing, which is should be, gentlemen, start your engines. Or in this case, it could be, lady and gentlemen, start your engines. But no, now they go with the generic drivers, start your engine.

[Chick McGee]

Also, Tom might have some thoughts on who's allowed into the race.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom, you're right to be furious about that. That's a good hill to die on. You keep fighting that good fight.

[Chick McGee]

As Josh said one time, you're doing good work over there, man.

[Willie Griswold]

That checkered flag is nice, but I don't like half the colors on there. What's wrong with that?

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Willie Griswold]

That checker up there.

[Christy Lee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Just because. Just because slavery was also a tradition doesn't mean that all traditions are bad.

[Willie Griswold]

We all start having a fun.

[Chick McGee]

Is there any way that we cannot say rape or slavery today? Is that okay? I. I was so little.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wow. This is a new record. We're being asked to leave.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, I love your hat.

[Josh Arnold]

Thank you. This is one of my favorite hats. It's the Indianapolis Motor Speedway logo and

[Christy Lee]

I wing and wheels.

[Chick McGee]

Tom, I, I. You gave me some information about the Indy 500 today, that I saw it, and I thought Josh would love this story and would come out of his seat and walk out of the studio if I shared it with you.

[Tom Griswold]

Can we do it now, then?

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Oh, yes. Here's. Here's especially, did you know, Josh, that no one named Smith has ever qualified or driven in the Indy 500. Now, how about that fact?

[Tom Griswold]

Because that's the most common name in America.

[Chick McGee]

There he goes.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, Josh, I can make you happy. You're continuing as I like to do. Also, the most common name in the world has never won it either. That's Muhammad.

[Chick McGee]

Muhammad

[Tom Griswold]

there's has never won the Indy 500. But no, no, not only that.

[Willie Griswold]

This can't get dangerous at all.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no one named Smith has ever driven in the Indy 500. Yeah, no, I know, but I mean, that's fascinating.

[Christy Lee]

We're off and running to no one but you.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, that stinks.

[Chick McGee]

You know, we've hit all of our. We've hit all of our various breads and butters right here in the opening segment. I really like it. I like it very much.

[Tom Griswold]

The Indy 500, full of great poetic names. There's a guy in the Indy 500 this year. I've interviewed him. His real genuine, honest birth certificate. His first name on his birth certificate is Christy. Do you know who I'm talking about?

[Christy Lee]

No, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Stingray.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. Stingray Rob.

[Josh Arnold]

That's awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Stingray Rob is his actual name. Pretty cool.

[Chick McGee]

Now they have to call him Sting, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but his. His brother, not so cool. Pinto.

[Chick McGee]

Robinson.

[Tom Griswold]

Just not, not, not as. Not as cool as being stupid.

[Chick McGee]

Now, as I've done with Josh every now and then. And Willie, Willie loves. Willie loves talking about comedy. Now, did you put up a couple other brand cars before you settle on pencil Edsel? Okay, what else you got?

[Christy Lee]

I don't think Pinto's that well known.

[Willie Griswold]

I thought it was like a Nina Pinta Santa Maria joke.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I didn't know Pinto. One of the most famous awful cars ever made. I mean, the Edsel was always the go to. You had the Renault Alliance.

[Chick McGee]

I did.

[Tom Griswold]

That was a real piece of junk.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, it was.

[Tom Griswold]

We could do a whole show on the worst car you've ever had.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

So how do you know he wasn't named after the Stingray, the animal.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, the one that killed Steve Irwin.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, the exact one.

[Chick McGee]

That killed the exact one.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I'm Dave Stingray.

[Tom Griswold]

I got that bastard right now. David, these are all good questions. Questions. Welcome to maybe his brother's name is Barracuda.

[Christy Lee]

Now, see, there's. That's what you should.

[Tom Griswold]

The Barracuda was a cool car.

[Christy Lee]

Very cool car.

[Tom Griswold]

And one of the. One of the great songs. Terrific lick.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah. It's heart.

[Tom Griswold]

We can all sing that one.

[Chick McGee]

He's gonna do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have more obscure Indy 500 trivia. That is going to be absolutely fascinating.

[Josh Arnold]

Also, nothing can beat Smith.

[Christy Lee]

No, Joe, I'm on my.

[Chick McGee]

You're blowing the lid off this 500 thing now.

[Willie Griswold]

Wait, are you. Do you mean Smith as the. The common last name? Or sometimes it can be a first name. You think that no one with the first name Smith has never raced or

[Tom Griswold]

no one named Smith, as far as I know, has ever been on the track.

[Willie Griswold]

Fascinating.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Now, there has been people.

[Chick McGee]

People are still talking about there.

[Tom Griswold]

We. We have also a fascinating story about former driver Dick Simon.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a great story about Dick Simon, who was a perennial driver at the Indy 500 there for quite some time,

[Josh Arnold]

and his religion has nothing to do with it.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll find out about that.

[Christy Lee]

Former Indy 500 winner Ari Landyke, supposed to be our guest later. He drove for Dick Simon at one time. Did you know that?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, yeah, back in early.

[Christy Lee]

In the early days. He did, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, did you guys know there's never been a Smith that's raised this race? No, never.

[Chick McGee]

Several.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, Josh, in a million

[Chick McGee]

years, I wouldn't have thought several have.

[Tom Griswold]

Several of eight have tried to, but did not qualify.

[Chick McGee]

Eight Smiths. Wow. Yeah, well, I didn't know that. That's a whole new story.

[Tom Griswold]

That was the last paragraph. You got to read the whole thing.

[Josh Arnold]

You said.

[Willie Griswold]

Probably do an hour on that.

[Josh Arnold]

Then you said no Smith had ever

[Tom Griswold]

been on the track during the race.

[Chick McGee]

No, I mean, I hate

[Tom Griswold]

you. I mean, I've been on the track, but admittedly it was. It was.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but they were in a car trying to be in the race, but

[Tom Griswold]

they weren't in it. There's a difference.

[Christy Lee]

Be a long morning, Jeff.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what?

[Chick McGee]

You know what prepositions are right on. And, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't like grammar.

[Chick McGee]

Well, guys, another hill to die on. Tom. Okay, Go for it, baby.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Coming up, we have sporting news.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, we do.

[Tom Griswold]

We have. Oh, this is a fascinating story. Coming up, the top 10 misspelled words in America.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll like it, Josh. I know. I know spelling is important to you.

[Josh Arnold]

I know. I was going to pretend like I was mad about that story, but I'm really interested.

[Tom Griswold]

When I looked at the list, I realized there are four of these I misspell all the time. Okay. All right. Now, I want to talk to you about your money. I did some research a couple days ago about the value of property in the United States, and it's pretty Amazing. The average house in the United States is worth roughly 40 to 50% more than it was five years ago over the past 10 years. Once again, these are just rough numbers. The average house is up 75 to 100% depending on the market and the metric that you use. The point is, if you own a house, your home may be worth a lot more than it was. And the significance of this is you don't have to sell it to take advantage of that increase in value. You can do a refi and grab some cash and make use of the money, pay off some credit card debts, build a new garage, whatever it might be you want to do with the cash. And you might be a candidate for this. And the way to find out is to visit with the folks at American Financing. This is what they do. They examine the equity, et cetera, et cetera, and they refinance the property. Now, they've been telling me the average client that they deal with right now is knocking about 800 bucks a month off the mortgage payment and then they're pulling some cash out. So check this out and see if it suits you. The way you do it is you contact them and at about 10 minutes they can give you a quick thumbnail sketch of how it might work. So if this sounds like something you're interested in, why not give them a call? That's American Financing, America's home for home loans. 866-889-2611 and I know it's hard to remember a number if you're driving, so do it this way.

[Chick McGee]

hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, hi. How are you?

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

I am well, Christy. Thank you. And I'm okay, Pat. You didn't ask, but that's a rude. There's Jeff. Oscar, you look great. Thank you, Jeff. As do you. Thanks. There's Ace Cosby. How are you? Just fine, whoever you are. And I'm Chick. And here's Tom and Willie. I forgot Willie and Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

We got to explain. We're all spread out today. If you.

[Chick McGee]

Everybody can see each other. But I don't. I'm not used to this.

[Tom Griswold]

If you hit the youtubes on the right, there is a Willie G. And then you've got your Christy Lee in the middle there. And then that's your Jeff. Wait a minute. Oh, no, that's. That's Josh Arnold there.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no. And then if.

[Christy Lee]

And you're his favorite.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're looking for. I am. Then right where his head is is Jeff Oscar's head. Josh Oskay sitting in your seat. What do you think about that?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm totally fine with it. I respect Jeff, and I'm not grossed out at all. And I'm not Amazoning Lysol wipes as we speak.

[Sam Schmidt]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Today is a special day. The largest facility of its kind in the world is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Again. I was there all day yesterday. Every time you go in there, you forget you see these flags in the distance and you realize that's still part of this building. It's absolutely huge. There'll be several hundred thousand There'll be several hundred thousand people there on Sunday. Today is kind of the warm up day with cars on the track doing their last minute stuff. The wiener mobiles will be racing. There'll be a huge concert there. A big day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Before we move on, some serious news. Super sad news in the world of motor racing. Chicken.

[Chick McGee]

Certainly NASCAR driver, legend, certain hall of famer Kyle Busch died yesterday at the age of 41, three days before he was set to run the Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte. this point, the cause of death has not been released and details remain limited. What is known is that Bush was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord Wednesday afternoon when he became unresponsive and had to be transported to a hospital in Charlotte. Bush's team or family are not releasing any other details other than that. And once again, NASCAR will race on. But Kyle Busch, 234 victories in NASCAR. 34 more than the King Richard Petty, and certainly a massive loss for nascar. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And we got to do a few things with him over the years.

[Chick McGee]

He's a good guy. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Really a really funny guy. We were telling a story earlier about one of the. The Jeff Gordon bowling tournaments, and Kyle Busch was there and he was. He was 20 years old at the time. Yeah. He was actually going to enter NASCAR when he was 16 and they changed the rules to keep him out.

[Christy Lee]

Didn't have something to do with cigarettes at the time, like a cigarette sponsorship or some weird thing that they wouldn't let kids until they were 18 be in a NASCAR. I swear I read that.

[Willie Griswold]

No, yeah, that makes sense for sure.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but it might have been the Winston cup then. Is that. Is that the angle?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. And it still should be.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Chick McGee]

With Fred and Barney.

[Tom Griswold]

Smoke him if you got him Winston cigarettes. You know, Willie, my favorite new song is 20 cigarettes.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God, I am going to run into traffic. Josh, would you care to join me? Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm about to go duct tape myself to the racetrack

[Willie Griswold]

on the bricks.

[Chick McGee]

We've heard about this a lot, Willie, is what we're saying.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that and hot dogs. I'm done.

[Tom Griswold]

So the point of the story is kinky Friedman. Kyle Busch was. Was at the bowling tournament and it was pointed out, hey, you're not even old enough to drink a beer. He just looks and he goes, legally, but a good guy. What a shame. He apparently. He apparently obviously had some kind of serious illness, but. And then he complained a couple weeks ago during a race. He asked to have a doctor meet him at the end of the race.

[Chick McGee]

This is everything I've seen on ESPN reporting about it. He had been complaining about a sinus infection, so who. Who knows what it.

[Christy Lee]

And he had been complaining that he had really bad chest congestion. He was coughing a whole lot. That was one of the reasons that he had. He had gotten, you know, looked at by the doctor after the race, too. So it's. It's just heartbreaking for everybody.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, on a lighter note, today is a fun day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. And look at those three having fun.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. We're excited. I know that this is.

[Chick McGee]

Is.

[Josh Arnold]

I want to say they've been doing this race for at least 20 years.

[Joe Anderson]

Popular.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Pretty pumped up.

[Chick McGee]

Josh. Now, that's not true. It's the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500, but. And yours truly, I've seen every race. Thank you.

[Sam Schmidt]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

I'm a very old man. I don't know if I'm.

[Christy Lee]

We do don't look that old.

[Tom Griswold]

We do have some interesting stats. We're going to be posting a whole bunch of video. We had a chance to interview some of the drivers yesterday.

[Josh Arnold]

Cool.

[Tom Griswold]

And including Elio Castro Neves, who you may know. Some of you may know from Dancing with the Stars.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Elio is a super cool guy. He's won the race four times. He's going for number five. He taught me how to say five in Portuguese, of course. He's Brazilian. And I. It. It's more or less I know how

[Chick McGee]

to say yes in Portuguese.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, seem. Oh, really? Seem. It's not. Si. Seem. Seem. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Like, am I going to kill you? Later,

[Tom Griswold]

we'll be posting some of that video. It's.

[Christy Lee]

You're leaving me hanging, Cinco.

[Tom Griswold]

It's pretty much the same as Spanish.

[Chick McGee]

I. I was.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I was hoping if Elio was here right now, he would say, I will kill you.

[Josh Arnold]

That's. That's Tom. No payoff.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I was. I was putting it out there so people would watch the video. You know, what? To see what the answer was.

[Chick McGee]

Let me tell you something.

[Willie Griswold]

That's not fair because there wasn't a lot of payoff. If. Remember, the setup was really long.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

When you.

[Chick McGee]

When you marry a great punchline with that magnificent setup you've got, you're going to be something. Tommy Espo, a son of a. I do have more.

[Tom Griswold]

More cool Indy 500 facts.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, does he ever.

[Tom Griswold]

Nine. Nine of the men starting this race have won it before. That's a lot.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really? Okay.

[Chick McGee]

That seems like a lot. Yeah, that doesn't seem. Huh. Well, that one's interesting. What are you doing with that one?

[Tom Griswold]

I was saving it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And between them, they have 14 victories. Also, Elio, I think he's. Is he 51? I think he's not very old.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then the youngest driver

[Chick McGee]

seems. I'm not sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure if uno is the same as it is in Spanish. See, Portuguese is kind of like Spanish, but the waves are bigger, I think at the.

[Chick McGee]

On the shore.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, we do have a Chick McGee across the way.

[Chick McGee]

And we do have. It's time for email from our listeners, brought to you by Hyundai. What do we got? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Hyundai. Hyundai's 2026 hybrid vehicle lineup. Advanced safety and technology meets hybrid efficiency. It's the best of both worlds. Hyundai USA.com thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Chick McGee, you got a letter over there.

[Chick McGee]

I do. I've got lots of paper over here. Dear Bob and Tom show. I was working in the yard one day. No, that's not right. I thought it would be fun to speculate about how Tom views his co workers, subordinates, and. And the labels he mentally assigns to each of you. Well, this is fun. This is from Alex, of course, in Michigan. Let's start with an easy one. Josh. This is how Tom. See, this is Josh's impression of how Tom sees Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Funny, obese, possibly gay, frequent masturbator.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I'd say a three of five. And not, not in the order of importance. Those are. He got those in reverse.

[Chick McGee]

How he. How he views chick.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, good.

[Chick McGee]

Formerly funny when he was a lot fatter. What the hell does that mean?

[Josh Arnold]

That sounds more like the opinion of the listener.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right. Possibly. Possibly gay, frequent masturbator, current curmudgeon, hermit and Washington football team fan.

[Tom Griswold]

He's again, three of five.

[Chick McGee]

That's pretty good. He's actually kind of not bad. Christie.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, Josh.

[Chick McGee]

Are you there to help? Christy? Chris, Tom. This guy thinks Tom thinks Christie is frequently divorced Catholic, official source for all female related information. Well, that's not bad. That's all correct. Pat Godwin, musical jester, pawn shop regular, talented, but a charity case whose career only succeeds when Tom is personally involved.

[Tom Griswold]

Again,

[Chick McGee]

Jesus. Jeff Oskay. Oh, here we go. Bearded pot smoker, expert on all white trash related topics. But he's very funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Again, all very accurate.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Tom, this listener that. Once again, Alex in Michigan thinks Tom thinks Ace is terrifying, Frugal, loves TV somehow. Both black and a KISS fan, and has great hair.

[Tom Griswold]

Those Are all relatively accurate.

[Chick McGee]

Jess Hooker, great laugh. Strong lesbian energy. Cooks well enough to overcome it.

[Tom Griswold]

You know something? Jess Hooker may be the nicest person I know.

[Chick McGee]

Jessica Alsman, new mom, meaning Tom can now assert dominance with decades of parenting wisdom. Also too young to appreciate important cultural touchstones like David Jansen and Papa Uma.

[Tom Griswold]

That's. Although those are also all correct.

[Chick McGee]

And Tom's opinion of himself, according to Alex, a necessary and justified tyrant. Smarter, smarter and funnier than everyone else. Civilization itself would collapse without me.

[Tom Griswold]

This guy's really dead on. Very, very accurate. We're reading our letters. I should point out once again, special edition of the Bob and Tom show with here and there, we've got Willie G. And Christy Lee and Josh out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. If you're watching on the YouTube, it looks like you guys are in a basement because we really can't see the speedway. But well.

[Chick McGee]

Well, they can't either. Well, they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No, we can't.

[Chick McGee]

You know, that's, that's interesting. I'm glad you brought that up because when I first got here back in 86 was my first race. Bobby Rayhal, that's how you.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

You tell time in Indianapolis. It's amazing how you. Because you see tracks when you're a kid and you grow up. Oh, this is the race course. But then you go to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. You can't see the whole thing where no matter. Well, unless you're really up high.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And the broadcast will be on Fox. And it's my understanding they are going to do the thing with the helicopters following right there in the beginning on those. Like that parade lap. Did you see that last year and that I had heard last year. Yeah, they called. Yeah, they'd canceled that, but then I just heard that it's back.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, cool. So that was really. I got to see that live. It was amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the coverage, the coverage will be amazing on. On Fox.

[Josh Arnold]

So was there a moment there where they thought maybe the Blackhawk helicopters wouldn't be available?

[Chick McGee]

I can't imagine why that would.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll also remind you that our pop up store has popped back up. If you go to bobandtom.com got some cool new stuff. So by all means, if you get a chance, check that out. I'll read one more letter here. I heard Tom talking about the movie Chinatown with Jack Nicholson. He references it all the time.

[Chick McGee]

Oh God.

[Tom Griswold]

He'll often say, forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown. Everyone in the show gets mad when he does it. I watched the movie. I Understand exactly where you're coming from, Tom. It's on my top 10 list now.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I thought he was going to say, I understand why everyone gets upset when you do the mother, daughter.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Because we all love it. We all think it's a masterpiece.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. We're not mad about Chinatown. We're mad about you. It's got nothing. It's a great Jack Nicholson film. My goodness.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we love Chinatown. We're angry about Griswoldville.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just. I'm just quoting the end of it, you know, racism.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's the.

[Willie Griswold]

It's the over quoting.

[Tom Griswold]

What? I. I think it's the.

[Chick McGee]

Plus, it deals with incest. You not.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's. It's also about the nature of. The nature of authority. And sure, it's problematic.

[Chick McGee]

Identify with John Houston. Just beyond

[Tom Griswold]

this is. That was from Lodi, California.

[Chick McGee]

He can't leave. He's stuck. Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Stuck in Lodi again. One of the great songs from ccr. Thank you very much. Coming up, we'll have some guests at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Also, we're gonna have a special edition of this show Sunday you can link to by going to bob and tom.com we'll have both visuals and audio available exclusively linked to our website. So if you get a chance, do that on Sunday morning. A little preliminary to the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. Coming up, we're going to be talking hot dogs. We've been talking a lot about hot dogs lately, Willie. I had a great. I had a great hot dog.

[Chick McGee]

There's a picture of it up on the Bob and Tom socials of Tom digging his hot dog. Yeah. Now, glizzy, I believe Tom. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that a Chicago thing, the glizzy?

[Willie Griswold]

No, I think it's like a kid thing. It's like a Gen Z thing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Call it a glizzy.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know where.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know the connection between the word glizzy and a hot dog. They just came up with a nonsense.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to go with hot dog.

[Chick McGee]

That's what I'm calling them.

[Tom Griswold]

But I bring it up because the Oscar Mayer wienermobiles will be racing today. And I believe we're going to talk to some of the hot doggers, the drivers of the wiener mobiles. Speaking of driving, Christy Lee drives a very nice, very nice vehicle. Tell me more about it, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

I drive a beautiful Hyundai, the Tucson hybrid with America's best warranty. You heard Chick mentioned earlier, advanced safety and technology. It's an amazing vehicle. Willie. The hybrids from Hyundai, if you need something a little bit bigger because the Santa Fe hybrid has a little bit more cargo space and you can take it off roading, the Tucson sits a little lower, more like a sedan. But if you want to go out and about, check out the hybrids from Hyundai. You get the best of both worlds, wonderful gas mileage and all you have to do is stop by your local Hyundai dealership or visit HyundaiUSA.com or call 562-314-4603 for all the details. That's Hyundai.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks very much, Christy Lee. Coming up, we have more interesting facts about the world of motor racing and the Indianapolis 500. The we also have the 10 most misspelled words in English which I find fascinating. And Josh, do you know the name of the famous trophy? It's one of the most famous trophies in the world. The trophy presented for the Indianapolis 500.

[Josh Arnold]

I do. It's the super vroom vroom.

[Tom Griswold]

The super vroom vroom. It's of course, the Borg Warner trophy.

[Chick McGee]

Bjorn Borg.

[Josh Arnold]

When did they change it?

[Tom Griswold]

And we have a fascinating fact about

[Chick McGee]

that trophy, Bjorn Borg's great grandfather. And I can't think of anyone with the nice last name. Warner.

[Tom Griswold]

Warner Brothers, of course.

[Chick McGee]

Warner Brothers, Jack Warner.

[Willie Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jeff Osk. Hey, man, there's Willie Griswold. Hey, there he is.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a question.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby's here. I'm Chick. Hello.

[Christy Lee]

I have an Answer. What is it, Josh?

[Tom Griswold]

Are you sitting on your hands? You look like. You look like you're freezing. Your posture is really good. It looks like the teacher said, josh Arnold, I want your posture. Sit up straight.

[Josh Arnold]

It's. Well, we have company, don't we? I'm trying to look my best, and. No, my hands. I'm not sitting on my hands. I am cradling my ball.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you for noticing, by the way, Mr. Nosey.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry that I asked. No. Today is a special day around the world. It's a carburetion day, or carb day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Preparing for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. They call it the greatest spectacle in racing for a reason. The cars go well over 200 miles an hour. It's pretty hairy. And the track, two and a half miles around, and the speedway, if you've never seen, really is breathtaking. There's part of a golf course inside it. That's how big it is. But right now we have Willie G. And Christy Lee and Josh at the speedway. And thank you very much for getting up extra early to get there.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, we're happy to. Thanks for sending us out here. And we got Jess Hooker and Jessica Alsman here. And one of Christy's daughters is here.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, Sophie's here. She got up early and made the trek. Yeah. The gates haven't opened yet, so it's a little quiet still. But in about an hour, things will be a lot different here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, there's an area called the Snake Pit, which gets very crowded and a little wild. I was out there earlier this morning, naked and awkward when you're the only one.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that leads to this story.

[Chick McGee]

Let's see, this party started.

[Tom Griswold]

That leads to the story. First of all, parenthetically, I guess I should point this out. Our friend Connor Daly is a fine young man. We've known Connor since he was a little boy. His father was race car driver Derek Daly.

[Chick McGee]

Is. Is Derek.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yes, I saw what I meant to say. Derek was a Formula one driver and an Indy car driver.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And his son is a terrific driver. And I was talking to him yesterday, and there's a couple of interesting things. He will go to the Snake Pit and get on stage. He's got, like a little half hour window before the race starts. So before he gets in his car, he's gonna run over to the Snake Pit and go up on stage and he has a little. It's part of his ritual. And he's got a really Good. He's got a really good shot at winning it this year. He had a great time in the time trial, so.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

That's a really cool way to relax and have some fun.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I think that's awesome. He does that. Always been fun.

[Tom Griswold]

He's the only guy that has a full beard. There are a couple guys that have. Well, they're kind of full beards, but not really.

[Christy Lee]

Louis Foster, with his mustache.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just gonna say there's a Willie. You've got to see this guy. He's from England. His mustache looks kind of like two caterpillars up there.

[Willie Griswold]

That's okay, but I think that more of a mustache. Brother. In the 250th anniversary of America, I'm not gonna support a British driver.

[Chick McGee]

Get out of town.

[Willie Griswold]

1773. Six, baby. I'm getting really fired up.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the odds of an American driver winning it.

[Christy Lee]

Pretty rare.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they said that about the pope, didn't they?

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't stop old Leo, did it?

[Willie Griswold]

Didn't stop old deep dish Leo, did it.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a sec. Willie. Willie. Are they calling him deep dish Leo in Chicago?

[Chick McGee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I kind of just riffed that. I don't know where that came from. Happy with it.

[Chick McGee]

That's awesome.

[Josh Arnold]

Stick.

[Willie Griswold]

I hope we can let that stick if we want.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm trying to remember.

[Josh Arnold]

He.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a White Sox guy, not a Cubs guy, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

He's a socks fan.

[Tom Griswold]

The Pope. Now, see, the. We. We're going to have the wiener mobiles racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today. Can you imagine if they had the pope mobile there?

[Josh Arnold]

It would be fantastic. Well, they'd have to have all the famous cars.

[Chick McGee]

There have to be another popemobile race,

[Tom Griswold]

if that's what you could.

[Josh Arnold]

The Batmobile, the blues mobile.

[Christy Lee]

They could have the Mr. Peanut guy. They could have all of them.

[Willie Griswold]

Mystery machine.

[Tom Griswold]

But Noah would want to pass the pope mobile. Come on. You'd. Maybe he could just do the pay slap. Because no one wants to be the guy that beat the pope. I mean.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's kind of like when you see the cop on the highway. You don't totally want to pass it. You're a little nervous.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's party, dude.

[Willie Griswold]

I pass him.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see what's going on.

[Chick McGee]

You know what, though?

[Willie Griswold]

That's.

[Chick McGee]

That's not my pope. He's too soft on crime. Anyway, you were talking about Connor Daly, and I think you were alluding to this story. IndyCar driver Connor Daly has admitted to urinating in his race Car suit before the Indy 500 during last year's victory banquet. He said, I never in my life had I urinated in my car until this last year's race on. On Sunday. I legitimately.

[Josh Arnold]

Welcome to the club.

[Chick McGee]

The race didn't even start, and I had to go. I couldn't get out of the car before the start. Yeah, he was. You know, they all go out on the track and they all get into their cars and they're lowered.

[Tom Griswold]

It was delayed last year, right?

[Chick McGee]

Was it? I don't. I don't remember.

[Tom Griswold]

I can never remember. Yeah, it was delayed. So that. But I. I guess had he won the race, it would have been pretty funny because the first thing he would have done would be pour the milk over his pants. Just.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it was just milk the whole time.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Willie Griswold]

He was really excited to win.

[Chick McGee]

He was stoked about it.

[Tom Griswold]

They. They used to say that Ozzy Osbourne would.

[Chick McGee]

There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

Would dump that water. Those buckets of water in his head because he had just peed his pants. Remember those. Those rumors?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

So.

[Tom Griswold]

But, yeah, Connor's a great guy, and we certainly wish him well. He's. I want to say, in probably about 30. What, 33, 34 now and again, a full beard. And of course, we've got the Englishman with a big. With the big mustache. That's the talk of the track this year. Now, I mentioned this before. This is a fascinating fact. Josh, you were talking about how you were nude at the snake pit. The snake pit now is in turn four. They've got a huge stage there, and they'll be during the race itself. There'll be tens of thousands of people. They're not even watching the race. They'll be grooving, if you will. What does one do? What does one do, Willie?

[Chick McGee]

No, no, you're putting it right, Todd. They're grooving to the scene. You're right.

[Willie Griswold]

You can just say dance, man. I get so worried about saying the current parlance, but certain words like dance, cool, pot, are always just fine.

[Chick McGee]

You know what?

[Willie Griswold]

I use the lingo?

[Christy Lee]

Jamming. They're having fun.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the drug of choice when you listen to those DJs and point your finger in the sky?

[Christy Lee]

I don't.

[Willie Griswold]

Something psychedelic or more of a stimulant. I don't think we should talk about that while some nice people here at the track.

[Chick McGee]

Okay for it. All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Jeff's into.

[Tom Griswold]

It'll be a big, big fun out there at the. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But the. The trophy is known as the Borg Warner trophy. And it's. It's about the size of a human being. It's huge. And there are little. What do you call them, little statues of the faces, bas reliefs of all the drivers that have won. And there's an interesting fact about it. Chick Magee. Did I give that to you?

[Chick McGee]

I thought you were gonna do the story.

[Christy Lee]

I have it.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you got it.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Go ahead.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Eagle eyed Indy 500 fans may notice that the Borg Warner trophy is almost always photographed from a particular angle. And you might not know the reason for that. Apparently, according to Jaloplink, the flag holder on top of the trophy is completely naked. That's right. And his male members on full display. If you get close enough, you can easily see it. Most photos of the trophy are taken at an angle. To preserve his modesty, if you will. Apparently the statue was aimed about, or aimed after the model of the Olympic spirit. And therefore, you know, the Greeks, they were naked at the time, during the Olympics, so.

[Tom Griswold]

And you can tell the guy didn't win.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because he's not that excited. And by the way, by the way, Tony Kanahan's nose is larger than the. The guy's male member, which gives you some idea.

[Chick McGee]

One of the most beloved racers and drivers in the Netherlands.

[Josh Arnold]

No reason to attack the man's physical this morning.

[Tom Griswold]

The year Tony Cannon won it. The only reason he won is because his nose crossed the finish line.

[Chick McGee]

Wonderful human being before doubling down.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they used to be our friends.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he's a great guy. He is beloved.

[Chick McGee]

We know that.

[Josh Arnold]

That's why we're shocked.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know that there was the nude guy on top of the trophy?

[Chick McGee]

I did know.

[Christy Lee]

Have you ever seen it?

[Tom Griswold]

Of course, I. Last year I got my picture taken right next to him.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's good luck to touch the wiener, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Christy Lee]

You got to be pretty tall.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

With your tongue. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I feel bad.

[Josh Arnold]

I kissed the bricks. Now I gotta go lick the wiener.

[Willie Griswold]

Trophy. The things. It's like 5, 3, 1, 10. Dad, that's your type. I mean, you would love that trophy. It's a great size for that.

[Tom Griswold]

Trophy's not thin enough, Willie.

[Willie Griswold]

Not too thick.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, there we go.

[Chick McGee]

There it is.

[Christy Lee]

That would have been. That would have been an interesting tradition. Rather than kissing the bricks.

[Tom Griswold]

I have a feeling that would. Maybe the Holman family would have frowned on that. Yeah, I think.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I'm sorry. Real quick. I have to yell at a. Somebody watching us. No picture. The nerve of some People, one person

[Tom Griswold]

coming up, we have, we have, have incredibly obscure facts about the connection between the Indianapolis 500 and DB Cooper. You know who DB Cooper is, Jeffrey?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Famous bank robber.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, the famous guy that parachuted out

[Chick McGee]

the back of the plane.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a connection between that and the Indianapolis 500.

[Sam Schmidt]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sure, it's tenuous, but that's what I'm here for. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, and this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel.

[Tom Griswold]

be on that World cup rally rosters. No doubt about it.

[Chick McGee]

Hosting the World cup on home soil

[Joe Anderson]

comes with its pressures.

[Chick McGee]

But we're just really excited just as the people are.

Welcome Back to the Boba Top show at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and O'Reilly Auto Parts. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, indeed. There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

Hi. There's Jeff Oskay. Oh, hi. There's Ace Cosby.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Willie Griswold.

[Willie Griswold]

Hey, man.

[Chick McGee]

I am Chick McGee. And here's our founder, our fearless leader. It's, it's Tom. Tom Grisball.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you watched Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon lately?

[Chick McGee]

Of course.

[Tom Griswold]

That's, it's genius. They, of course, had fearless leader.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That stuff really holds up. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Once again, it's Willie G. Josh Arnold and Christy Lee. Because today is what they call carb day, Carburetion day. It's the final warm up for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500, one of the greatest sporting events in the world, featuring drivers from all over the world and of course, fans from all over the world. Yesterday I was in the elevator with two guys from Tokyo. We got into it. We got into a conversation.

[Christy Lee]

Did you speak a lot of Japanese?

[Willie Griswold]

Did you play it cool?

[Josh Arnold]

Did you ask them if they had seen Tokyo Drift?

[Chick McGee]

Could you make anything out of their Tokyo talk at all?

[Willie Griswold]

Don't mention Mr. Mr. Obato by any Japanese.

[Chick McGee]

I know.

[Tom Griswold]

It was cool. They they're, of course, covering the race and they're big fans of Takuma Sato, who has won it twice. He'll be running it again. One of the.

[Josh Arnold]

Refer to those two men as fat man and little boy

[Chick McGee]

preceded. I see you doing that preceding. Well, you're gonna love this.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, you guys get it right.

[Willie Griswold]

There's a lot of history behind this one.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, Josh. I did not. Because neither of them were particularly corporate corpulent.

[Josh Arnold]

They were.

[Tom Griswold]

They were both slight gents, but I was in the. I was in the media room, which is spectacular at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's just amazing. Imagine it's like a football field full of chairs and computers and cameras and people getting ready for this great race. Coming up. By the way, special edition of the Bob and Tom show will be available Online and on YouTube coming up on Sunday morning beginning at 7 o' clock Eastern Daylight Time. So if you get a chance, tune that in to have some fun coming up on Sunday. And of course, Fox is going to be. Fox Sports is going to be broadcasting the race.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

We had a nice interview with James Hinchcliffe yesterday. We'll be posting that as well. What a cool guy he is. And he's had quite a bit of experience at the speedway. Coming up, we'll have more interesting figures and facts about the greatest spectacle in recent years. What about.

[Chick McGee]

What about this fact, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

What is it?

[Chick McGee]

It's French driver Jules Goo. We're spelling goo. G, O U X.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that how you pronounce that?

[Chick McGee]

I would think goo or go. It's not Goux, I can tell you that. Anyway, he won the 1913. 1913 Indy 500. He's believed to have drank, drunk, six pints of wine over the course of the race.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa. You go, Jules Goo.

[Josh Arnold]

Did you know Jules Goo was the original name of Pearl Jam?

[Tom Griswold]

So perfect.

[Chick McGee]

There's. There's a part of me that likes Jule Goo better. Yeah, M, M, Mr. Goo, not Magoo. But Goo spoke no English, came in for a tire change, and reportedly in French said, fetch me a pint of wine or I'm done. His pit crew, despite being French, had no wine on hand. So crewmen were sent to the grandstand in search of wine. They happened on a party of millionaires from Pittsburgh. The story goes they furnished half a dozen small bottles containing the most select vintage of winery in France.

[Josh Arnold]

Nobody parties like Pittsburgh millionaires.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? I've always heard that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I had a girl, they. We used to call her the Carnegie Melons because she had such big boobs.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Goo helped himself to one of the bottles, jumped back into his car and finished the race 13 minutes ahead of second place.

[Tom Griswold]

13 minutes.

[Chick McGee]

Winning. Winning the race now.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he had to pee.

[Tom Griswold]

Recent races, Christie, have what the. The second place car has been several milliseconds behind the first place.

[Christy Lee]

So many.

[Tom Griswold]

Close over 500 miles. It's a matter of inches, really. That's amazing. Those were different times. Did you hear the guy had. What's his name? Mr. Goo.

[Chick McGee]

Jewel Goo.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you say that?

[Chick McGee]

I refused to call him Mr.

[Tom Griswold]

No, wait a minute. Monsieur. It'd be Monsieur Goo. Yeah. He almost missed his pit one time because there was so much cigarette smoking there. And then there was that unfortunate incident where that ignited all the fuel. That's a great fact. Thank you very much, Chick McGee. You're.

[Chick McGee]

You're welcome.

[Tom Griswold]

There are so many cool stories about the Indianapolis 500 and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you think, though, back in the day, like, a driver actually did maybe smoke during the race at some point?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, famously, yeah. Christy Christie will tell you famously in nascar. Christy, go ahead, tell the story.

[Christy Lee]

Well, it wasn't a Dick Trickle that would do that. Yeah, During.

[Tom Griswold]

During. During a yellow.

[Josh Arnold]

I hope he had one of those beanbag ashtrays on the dashboard so it wouldn't slide around.

[Chick McGee]

Do they still. They say they have to still sell them.

[Tom Griswold]

Those are the best.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Those are amazing.

[Christy Lee]

The beanbag bottom.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, the plaid bottom, like the brass top to it.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there. Is there an ashtray museum somewhere?

[Josh Arnold]

I hope so. I'm looking it up right now.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, because you'd have. You'd have old airline seats.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember the cars that would have the ashtray in the. If you were in the back seat, there was an ashtray in the front seat that pulled back. Oh, yeah, sure.

[Josh Arnold]

On the door. On the arm rest.

[Christy Lee]

Armrest.

[Josh Arnold]

At the little ashtrays. Now, in west. West Fulton, New York, the Ashtray Museum. It opened. Opened to rave reviews.

[Tom Griswold]

When did it close?

[Chick McGee]

Alrighty.

[Josh Arnold]

Amazing.

[Christy Lee]

I wonder if you're allowed to smoke there.

[Tom Griswold]

You know something? That's a great question, and the answer probably is no.

[Christy Lee]

Probably. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm not kidding. I don't know if you guys can see this at all. It is. It's like a. They took a mini house, and that's the Ashtray Museum.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my Lord.

[Josh Arnold]

Now it is the color of ashes.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Right.

[Chick McGee]

You know, from. From our perspective, Josh, that looks like an early Georgia o' Keeffe painting. Actually, I was thinking the same exact.

[Tom Griswold]

The ashtray Museum. Wow. Okay, well, what's coming up in sports, Chick McGee?

[Chick McGee]

Well, we had another NBA playoff game last night and the Knicks are. Had two games done on. I will fill you in on all the deets, as the kids say. And once again we'll touch on Sad news from NASCAR. Kyle Busch has passed away at the age of 41. No cause of death given. We'll be keeping an eye on that story. And NFL players and training camps about to kick off. And peanut butter and jelly is top of mind with all NFL players. And there's a new and a peanut butter and jelly manufacturer out there that's. That's gonna be prevalent in NFL training camps.

[Christy Lee]

They're gonna take over the uncrustable.

[Chick McGee]

I think so.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure if they're gonna. Are they gonna. They may be shoving the uncrustables out of the locker room.

[Chick McGee]

I think if they're. They better watch because players love the uncrustables and if they're not up to snuff, they're gonna have a problem.

[Willie Griswold]

Too much gluten, maybe get one of those goobers, the peanut butter in the jelly combined. Innovative thing. Just take. I get a spoon. Just eat that straight out of there.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you like the, the pre made pea and PB and J's?

[Chick McGee]

What you do is. I mean Willie, try this. You get some of those pretzel nugs filled with peanut butter in the middle. Get those and dunk them into the goobers with the peanut butter and jelly. Off you go.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but I'm sorry, I misspoke. The. Isn't there a product that has the jelly and the peanut butter? Not in the pre made sandwiches, but I mean a jar. Yeah. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I don't know. Do you approve of this?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, no, I do not. No. I like to keep them separate.

[Tom Griswold]

Keep them separated. Absolutely. What is this world coming to?

[Chick McGee]

Indeed.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Tom, I just was informed by my husband who knows a lot about racing. Dick Trickle actually had a lighter in his car built into the dashboard for cigarettes. And NASCAR said it was fine as long as it didn't give any, you know, didn't have a beneficial effect for his racing. Can you imagine push the lighter in like in the olden days.

[Josh Arnold]

He could also plug in his Discman.

[Tom Griswold]

It was, it was a few years ago. Josh, you are indeed correct.

[Christy Lee]

I guess contemporary cars, such a different time.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that my car has. I don't think it. Does it have a cigarette lighter or. Good, because it's got.

[Chick McGee]

It's got the whole. Mine has a hole for it.

[Tom Griswold]

It's got the hole, but it's just a plastic. But I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And I don't think there's a charger. That's a charger port or anything. I think it's just a hole. I don't know why I'm probably.

[Christy Lee]

I wonder if you can order it. Can you special order it, you think?

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure you can. I don't know, like a cigarette package or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Something maybe on a Tesla.

[Chick McGee]

You know they tried to put the cigarette packers on. There were no alliance. But if you push the lighter in, the car would stall. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Well, they're not. Not reliable.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I sat in the parking lot of work all day to get this lawn Mowing hunk out. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

Well, you can see me.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Yes, I could see you, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

The boys have deserted me. I am up here on the dais by myself.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Today's National Solitaire Day. Christie.

[Chick McGee]

Loneliest girl in town.

[Christy Lee]

I'll get my cards out and start playing Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jeff Oskar, Ace Cosby. Willie Griswold's around here somewhere. Also, Josh Arnold is out there with Christie on Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know that today is National Solitaire Day?

[Chick McGee]

I. I saw that in my. In my pile of stories. I. I saw that. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't even know how to play solitaire.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

I am the world's worst card player.

[Christy Lee]

I believe Solitaire.

[Tom Griswold]

I have no idea how to play solitaire. Why would you want to do that? You don't get to talk to anyone.

[Chick McGee]

Well, there's. There's a couple different ways you can. There are several different solitaire games.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But the main one is what's National Solitaire Day?

[Chick McGee]

Recognized the card game that has been around for more than 200 years. It's also known as Klondike. That's right. The classic version of the game. A standard deck of 52 playing cards. The object of the game is to clear the board by creating a stack of cards from low to high in each suit. If the player completes each suit, the game of solitaire has won. This is my life National Solitaire Day story. It wasn't until 1990, you know, Tom. Microsoft included Solitaire in Windows 3.0.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm an Apple guy. I have no idea.

[Chick McGee]

Then the game truly went viral. Microsoft Solitaire successfully helped teach computer users how to use a mouse and in the process, ended up becoming one of the most played video games in history. Solitaire Day promoters suggest there's no need to be particularly productive on National Solitaire Day.

[Tom Griswold]

It's meant for you.

[Chick McGee]

Then just play some solitaire and. And then maybe play with yourself. Oh, my.

[Christy Lee]

Solitaire is over.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you know how to play solitaire?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Who, me? I think every human being other than you can play solitaire, Man.

[Willie Griswold]

You can make any question sound condescending.

[Christy Lee]

He doesn't know how to play solitaire, Willie.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

No, there's a.

[Chick McGee]

We will.

[Willie Griswold]

I didn't know the context.

[Chick McGee]

That's not.

[Willie Griswold]

You're actually being curious.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. National Solitaire Day.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, Willie, I'm terrible at playing cards. You know that.

[Sam Schmidt]

That.

[Willie Griswold]

I like solitaire. It's fun.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a scene in the movie Jaws where the Richard Dreyfus guy is playing solitaire on the deck. I remember that, but I don't. I have no idea.

[Christy Lee]

Cards, not blow off the boat. That's. That'd be tough.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now, is it possible to cheat at sal Solitaire?

[Christy Lee]

You can cheat at anything, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

So you're just cheating yourself?

[Christy Lee]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Willie Griswold]

You can't cheat on the computer. They have rules to stop you from. But in real life, yeah, you can do whatever you want. You have free will.

[Josh Arnold]

When you win on the computer, the cards go zoo.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, that's fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's nice. Well, anyway, let's support National Solitaire Day. We're not alone. We're getting ready for an event where there'll be tens of thousands of people. In fact, there'll be hundreds of thousands of people Sunday for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. And at the facility right now, Willie G. Josh Arnold and the lovely Christy Lee. And I can tell the sun is up there now.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sun's up. It's still a little chilly, but we're enjoying ourselves. I've got a nice mug of hot coffee that is playful without being presumptuous.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, really?

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Does it have notes of anything special? Maybe notes of burning tires?

[Chick McGee]

And speaking of burning burning tires, former IndyCar driver Dick Simon was once suspected of being DB Cooper.

[Tom Griswold]

Dick, what did you know. Did you know this, Christine?

[Chick McGee]

According to Tom.

[Christy Lee]

I actually had heard that before. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

According to Tom. Griswold Enterprises, Simon was once questioned by the FBI as he fit the profile for the man who hijacked Northwest Orient flights, flight number 305. That's right. In 1971, at the time of Cooper's disappearance in Washington state, Dick Simon was meeting with the president of General Foods, hoping Post Toasty would sponsor him in his second of 17 eventual races. Boy, those Post Toasty people drive a hard bargain.

[Tom Griswold]

Are Post Toasties Cornflakes?

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Are they?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I. I'm.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm a. Kellogg's Cornflakes.

[Chick McGee]

The weirdos and freaks from St. Louis call. What is it? Deep fried ravioli. Isn't that Toasties or something?

[Josh Arnold]

What do they call toasted ravioli?

[Chick McGee]

Toasted. They call them. Yeah, yeah, but you can call them toasties or something like that, can't you?

[Joe Anderson]

Or.

[Chick McGee]

No, that doesn't go so.

[Josh Arnold]

So you can call them t. T.S.

[Chick McGee]

t. T.S.

[Josh Arnold]

yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Favorite dinosaur? The tab.

[Tom Griswold]

Very love those things. The. So the Dick Simon story is they thought he was a suspect because he's such a cool guy. I mean, he was a skier, a scuba diver.

[Chick McGee]

Well, they didn't arrest all the cool guys.

[Christy Lee]

I was going to say. I mean, how random.

[Willie Griswold]

Looking for a radical dude that's not

[Tom Griswold]

looking for a. I mean, he's one of the coolest guys ever. Drives Indy cars.

[Chick McGee]

Dick Simon?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, He's a pilot.

[Chick McGee]

Simon is a cool guy.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't think so?

[Chick McGee]

I, I, I'm sure he's a fine man.

[Tom Griswold]

He's in the Bald Guys hall of fame with me.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's why you like,

[Willie Griswold]

this is like when a fat guy has a hot wife. And I go, oh, that's. That's a cool fat guy, cuz I respect what he can do. You respect the bald in this man.

[Tom Griswold]

I see that.

[Willie Griswold]

I see yourself in this man.

[Christy Lee]

He did have his hands in a lot of pots.

[Chick McGee]

You see yourself in his head is what you're seeing.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, really. Scuba diver, skydiver pilot, parachute jumper, race car driver. That's a cool guy, right?

[Willie Griswold]

He's got some James Bond hobbies. Yeah, he's definitely got some cool things going on.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not exactly sure.

[Christy Lee]

I guess he did meet the metrics, right? If you're looking for a suspect that could do all those things.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. There must have been some other threads that made them think he might be D.B. cooper. I guess it would make sense, I guess, to grab some cash to finance your hobby of racing indycars. It isn't cheap, right?

[Christy Lee]

It would be cool if he was DB Cooper. How cool would that be?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they never, never did find him.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, maybe he was. You don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

There's, There's a lot of conspiracy theories about DB Cooper. If you don't know who it is. What's the short version of the story, Jeffrey?

[Josh Arnold]

Guy what, robs a bank, gets a plane, jumps out the back?

[Willie Griswold]

No, he got on a plane and then they landed the plane. He demanded money. They let off half the hostages. I think four stayed on. They put the money on the plane, then he flew off, and then he jumped off. Somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, I believe.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

It's pretty cool.

[Willie Griswold]

I watch a lot of conspiracy docs.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, don't you?

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, I like to get stoned. Think about mysteries, baby.

[Josh Arnold]

Mysteries.

[Willie Griswold]

What's going on with DB Cooper? Where does water come from? Stuff like that.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, Willie, real quick, could you see this drink I'm holding?

[Willie Griswold]

Look at you. That's like a little girl drink. That's a fruity, fun little drink there, buddy.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, Mark was going. And I go, surprise me. He goes, I'll get something a high school girl would get. And I go, yeah, give me whatever Willie orders.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, I get a cold brew with sugar free vanilla, pal.

[Christy Lee]

Why

[Josh Arnold]

more manly.

[Willie Griswold]

Yours has granola in it. I think I see a raspberry in there.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's delicious.

[Sam Schmidt]

Delicious.

[Tom Griswold]

The beauty of this, Willie, is even during a remote broadcast, you guys can make fun of each other. That's what I love about. That's what I love about radio. We are going to be doing a special edition of this show coming up on Sunday. It'll be available on YouTube. And it'll be available. You can link to it by going to bobandtom.com a special edition of the program getting ready for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. Now, we were talking about the former race car driver Dick Simon and the fact that he was questioned by the FBI.

[Chick McGee]

We're still on this, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

They thought he might be D.B. cooper. He is not Mr. Cooper. He's a very fine man.

[Josh Arnold]

They both have the same first initial.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe that's how they found towels in the bathroom.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe this is a composition by our friend Jimmy Mad Dog Matus. I'm gonna play just a little bit of this. Remember this song, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It was a trip. Because Dick Simon never finished particularly high in the Indy 500.

[Christy Lee]

No. He kind of became like a joke maybe, and it.

[Tom Griswold]

Because a lot of places. For example, I am in a pole at my gym. I kicked in some cash and you just draw out of a hat. I have the lady driver, Catherine Legg. Okay, The English woman. So. But the. I guess the good news is the first driver out, if you get your money back, I will not be winning the thousand dollars.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think we'll see who did heart pick. That's who I want to know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. My daughter won a thousand bucks in the last men's basketball pool. This is a little. I'll play a little bit of this classic song about Mr. Simon. Because in the office pool you didn't necessarily want to pick him because in those days it was thought he probably isn't going to win. Here we go.

[Christy Lee]

Every year as the race draws near in Indian Lamonth of May, some stupid fool starts an office pool. And I know I'm gonna have to play all the drivers names go in a hat. And I don't mean to be whining. But here comes the tears cause the laugh. 10 years I pulled out the name Dick Simon. I got dicked again. When I hit again. I'm so sick of pulling dick. I got dicked again.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go, the classic I got dicked again. In honor of the great memories, thank you, Jimmy. Mad Dog made us for that, that contemporary classic. We are. I can see that. We are once again broadcasting from the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And we have our threesome out there at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Christy, take over.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. We are joined on the dais by Joe Anderson, who happens to be the CEO of ipex. Is that how you say that? IPX and Drive ipx, yes. And you are sponsoring Louis Foster's car, is that correct?

[Joe Anderson]

That is correct.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We were talking about the mustache earlier.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think, Joe, I think, Joe, you better shave off the beard and just keep the stash in honor of your, your, your. Your Englishman.

[Joe Anderson]

I already tried. It was horrible. I had to grow the beard back out.

[Christy Lee]

So you're kind of new to the sport of racing and to sponsoring cars. What has the experience been like?

[Joe Anderson]

Oh, I love it. I mean, I'm, I'm from Tipton, Indiana, so I've always been a part of the 500, so being a, have this opportunity to be a sponsor is pretty cool. So it's, it's amazing. It's a lot of work. It's a whole new ecosystem.

[Christy Lee]

Hey.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Joe, have you ever been to the Tipton Pork Festival?

[Joe Anderson]

Yes, sir. I met you and Bob there In

[Tom Griswold]

the late 80s, I was just gonna say. And that's where, that's where the great band the Electric Amish was founded in Tipton, Indiana.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Joe Anderson]

How did you stop listening first time callers?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. How did you keep all your hair? You look like you're 25.

[Joe Anderson]

It's. It's a toupee.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's really obvious from this clothes.

[Joe Anderson]

It's got an awkward smell to it.

[Christy Lee]

So you're also. I'm sorry, go ahead, Tom.

[Willie Griswold]

No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you, you're. You're the boss here. I can't.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I'm not the boss, but you also involved in tequila. How did you get involved in that?

[Joe Anderson]

Oh, long story. We found a brand that we, you know, we thought we could put something into. Found a Tequila Master and delay. Jalisco, Mexico. Amazing guy, Great vision. And we just went with it, you know, between here and here in Mexico, some kid from Tipton, Indiana, and a great group of people. We've created an Amazing product that we're proud of.

[Josh Arnold]

About that. Where are the damn samples?

[Christy Lee]

That's exactly what I was going to say. Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

What's it called?

[Joe Anderson]

I just got cleared. It's Desnuda Organic tequila.

[Christy Lee]

Des Nuda. Very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you spell that?

[Joe Anderson]

D E, S, N, U, D A. And then organic tequila. I'm not gonna.

[Tom Griswold]

So that means I'm. Does that mean I'm organically naked?

[Joe Anderson]

I.

[Chick McGee]

It.

[Joe Anderson]

It means you're.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Joe Anderson]

You're barren, unfiltered.

[Josh Arnold]

Des. Nuda does not mean.

[Joe Anderson]

I'm so prepared for this interview. 40 years of listening to this.

[Chick McGee]

I am ready. Bring it on.

[Joe Anderson]

I didn't sleep last night. I studied.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Do you want to ask Tom any questions?

[Tom Griswold]

No, not at all. So, Joe, is Desnuda available yet?

[Joe Anderson]

Yes, sir, it is. We relaunched everything in August. All new juice, all new bottles. It's here at the track. The official premium sponsor of IMS for the next few years. We're really hoping to grow from a sponsor to a partner.

[Tom Griswold]

So is it on one of the cars?

[Joe Anderson]

You're August to get bottles here within the next hour.

[Josh Arnold]

And a curly straw.

[Tom Griswold]

Get Willie, too, please. Joe, is it on one of the cars? Is the on the livery of one of the cars?

[Joe Anderson]

We've got it on the number 45 car, but we went full Drop Light on this one, so we could bring all of our associate sponsors in with us. But the rest of the season, the des Nude is on Louis Foster's car.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. And Drop Light is on. Is on. Which car?

[Joe Anderson]

Number 45, Louis.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay. Very good. Very good. We're speaking with Joe Anderson of Drop Light. Christy, take over Drop Light.

[Christy Lee]

You do a lot of different things, not just sponsor IndyCar. You are. You've got your hands in a lot of things.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Joe Anderson]

Full venture studio. We started in the height of the whole pandemic thing when everyone was shut down and we went like, let's. Let's focus on the underdogs. You know, again, I'm grassroots guy, you know, national small companies, and.

[Sam Schmidt]

And.

[Joe Anderson]

And it's just really taken off. So we support watch companies, tequila companies, the American Legion, which we're proud of to be a amazing partner of the American Legion.

[Tom Griswold]

There we go.

[Joe Anderson]

It's a. It's a passion of mine. So, yeah, we're. We're in everything. Med device. It's. It's been a fun few years.

[Josh Arnold]

May I have $20.

[Joe Anderson]

9.99? We can get you a bottle of Blanco.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Joe. Joe, have you ever ridden in the famous IndyCar two seater I have.

[Joe Anderson]

Not yet. I want to. It's on a bucket list. You gonna ride it with me?

[Christy Lee]

He won't do it. I won't do it.

[Tom Griswold]

The answer is, for the purposes of this show, yes. The reality is absolutely not. I'd be terrified.

[Christy Lee]

I have done it, and I was absolutely terrified.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm.

[Joe Anderson]

I'm ready. Bring it on.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. You. You need. You will love it.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. People should understand. There. There is an Indy car that. That they. They. The. The. The chairs are like. Well, the seats are one behind the other. And a. A professional driver will take. Who drove it when you did it, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Davey Hamilton did it, drove for me. Mario Andretti drove for my husband when he did it. And they're. I mean, it's. It's quite a thrill. You need. You need to try that.

[Joe Anderson]

I. I want to. I'm in.

[Josh Arnold]

I haven't done it here, but I did do it at the Kentucky Derby. Yeah, I got to take. They let me ride American Pharaoh or

[Christy Lee]

hold on real tight to the jockey.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

You have to put your arms around the jockey.

[Willie Griswold]

Five foot tall, Ecuadorian man.

[Josh Arnold]

And I just whispered in his ear, go fast. So that was a thrill.

[Chick McGee]

Ecuadorian man.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Joe, thanks. Thanks for talking to us, Joe. You sound like a really cool guy. And congratulations on all the success of Drop Light. And tell us. Tell me just real quick a little more about Mr. Foster driving that car for you guys. How did you hook up with him?

[Joe Anderson]

Just, you know, last year, we. We launched Des Nuda, and we. We found this guy within about four weeks at rll. You know, really fell in love with this young man. Everything he's about, He's a passionate driver. He wants to win, and we've just stuck with him, and we're going to stick with him until he. He wins a few of these things.

[Sam Schmidt]

He's.

[Joe Anderson]

Again, a lot of people don't understand what these drivers do. Do you watch it from the TV or you watch it from the stands?

[Tom Griswold]

These.

[Joe Anderson]

These people are going 230 miles plus. You know, it's. It's an amazing sport. And he's just an amazing, amazing young man.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, you're aware that meeting him on the Borg Warner Trophy, they put a. A sculpture. I think it's a. Is it called a bas relief? Just. It's just the face. And now if he wins it with that massive mustache, that is going to be rivaling Tony Kanan's nose with respect to the dimensions of the. Yes, that's right. I'm doubling down on that joke.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's not say.

[Joe Anderson]

Let's not forget about Bobby Rahel's mustache, 1986 when he won.

[Tom Griswold]

So, yeah, that was more. That was more Groucho. That was more Groucho marks. Yeah, yeah. Mr. Foster's is more twin caterpillars on the face.

[Joe Anderson]

Matches your size.

[Chick McGee]

Sideburns.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, very good.

[Josh Arnold]

I got one in.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

What he meant to say, Tom, was suck it.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, somebody kick that Anderson dude off the stage.

[Willie Griswold]

We're gonna be back next break.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, we are doing a special edition of our program at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. That's where you'll see Willie G. Josh and Christy Lee. They're preparing for something called Carb day. And it's carburetion day. They used to back in the day, this is when they would get the carburetors all tweaked before the Indy 500. And we had a visitor, a guy named Tim Allen, back in the day. Tim Allen, a very fine actor about to appear in Toy Story 5. At least his voice will be there. And Tim had some comments about Carb Day. Comedian Tim Allen has joined us fresh from Carb Day.

[Chick McGee]

Is that carburetion day?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I've never heard.

[Chick McGee]

Do they Even use carburetors anymore. No, they do not. It's a fuel injection day.

[Tom Griswold]

It's turbo day. And turbo day.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's what got it. And we're driving out there and a chick, he goes, you know, oftentimes you hear this a lot. Yeah, oftentimes. The technology they learn here at the

[Tom Griswold]

race is translated into your family car. Uh huh.

[Chick McGee]

I went, yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

This year, Chevy's offering the new the

[Chick McGee]

Indie Celebrity 900 horsepower Celebrity Wagon. Gosh, George, this thing's really got some pickup, doesn't it? I got to the kids to school

[Tom Griswold]

in about six seconds. We're having laughing practice next week with all the other girls.

[Chick McGee]

Pta, she's running the offie. I'm doing the Buick and Betty's got the Chevy high tech. I pulled the trailer right out from under the boat, George. This baby's got some guts to it.

[Tom Griswold]

Tim Allen, the great comedian Tim Allen. Certainly looking forward to the new Toy Story. I'm a big fan.

[Chick McGee]

You're on an island.

[Christy Lee]

We know.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want to go see it?

[Chick McGee]

No, I will not.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

I thought we were. I thought we were going to do a group. Let's all go together.

[Chick McGee]

If you want to go together. If we all go together, I'll go, but I'm not. No, you're.

[Tom Griswold]

It has talking toys in it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I'm aware of the concept, you psycho.

[Tom Griswold]

How could you not want to see it?

[Chick McGee]

I find it. I don't. I know it's insane, but I find it incredibly easy.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, thank you, Tim Allen. Let's go back to the sports desk. What's happening over there?

[Chick McGee]

Andy Richter will serve as the commander in beef.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

At the Oscar meyer Wiener Weenie 500 race this year. The actor and comedian will lead carb day festivities today, including the wiener anthem. That must be your Oscar. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, sure.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. 6.

[Christy Lee]

Are they saying my hot dogs have a first name instead of my baloney?

[Tom Griswold]

Can you eat 50 hot dogs? I guess that'd be disrespectful.

[Chick McGee]

Six, count them, six wiener mobiles. We'll race around the iconic 2.5-mile oval track to see who's the top dog. And of course, those six.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom, you started singing that and some guys here at the American Legion started cracking their knuckles.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I pointed out that it would be disrespectful. I did not mean. Maybe calling it the anthem was a mistake.

[Chick McGee]

The wiener mobiles are six different individually prepared wiener mobiles. And they're from different parts of the United States. From the Southeast. It's slaw dog.

[Tom Griswold]

Uhhuh.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, the Midwest shy dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Chicago doesn't represent all the Midwest, so

[Willie Griswold]

maybe for hot dogs.

[Chick McGee]

No way.

[Josh Arnold]

Ketchup on hot dogs is fine.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And Chicago is their babies about it.

[Chick McGee]

You really got a thing about. It's like me in Dallas and you in Chicago. You know, let's crisscross. You kill somebody in Dallas, and I'll go to Chicago.

[Josh Arnold]

I can kill somebody in Chicago. It's legal.

[Tom Griswold]

On the weekend. Weekends, Josh.

[Chick McGee]

New York dog is from the East, Chili dogs from the South, Seattle dog from the Northwest, and corn dog is representing the United States.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I have driven the wiener mobile, as you know, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the one I drove had an automatic transmission. The corn dog mobile is harder to drive. Christy. It's a stick.

[Willie Griswold]

That's a great joke.

[Josh Arnold]

A great joke.

[Chick McGee]

Listen, will you?

[Tom Griswold]

It's personal.

[Chick McGee]

Listen to how hard Christy's laughing.

[Tom Griswold]

She has a huge laugh.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't she nice?

[Josh Arnold]

It is cute.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute. Let's go around the horn. My wonderful son Willie. Can you drive a stick shift?

[Willie Griswold]

No. My dad was never around to teach me.

[Josh Arnold]

I like it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there you go. You asked.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm just kidding. I just never. I never had to learn. I've never. I've never had to. I love to learn, but it was never a thing that I had to do.

[Tom Griswold]

When I was 16, my brother Jim had a Volkswagen Beetle, and I would. I learned how to drive on a stick shift. It was awesome. Can you drive a stick, Jeffrey?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. My car right now is a stick.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I forgot. You have a 67 Volkswagen Patty G, can you drive a stick? Yeah, I started off on a stick. A VW Bug Trickster.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, absolutely. I can. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Ace.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Josh.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah. I had a 2000 Ford Ranger. That was a stick.

[Chick McGee]

Stick.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. You ever driven three on the tree?

[Josh Arnold]

No. Never had the opportunity to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That's really cool. Yeah. But what do we. What was the stat, Christy? Remember we looked it up one day and something like only 7% of the vehicles sold in America have a stick shift anymore.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. And Jeff Oscar is very well aware of that because he wants to buy a new car. And don't you want another manual transmission? Don't you want the stick?

[Josh Arnold]

Very limited.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It's hard to find. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The problem is now it cuts down on your ability to tech.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Which is good.

[Tom Griswold]

Little joke there, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, very little. We're going to be talking to the folks from the corn Dog entry. The other wiener reveal in about an hour or so.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, do you know who won last year, Chick? Do you remember?

[Chick McGee]

I don't remember.

[Christy Lee]

I don't either. I was trying to think.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie, can you bet on on this wiener action?

[Willie Griswold]

I'm gonna figure that out right now. I'm gonna put my face right into my phone. I'm not gonna turn talk for five minutes and I'm gonna let you guys know.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have a favorite, you think? Are you gonna have to go with shy dogs?

[Willie Griswold]

No, I think I go with. I mean, I'm such a corn dog guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Willie Griswold]

I don't like tomatoes. Don't belong on a hot dog. I take the celery salt, the sports peppers, the jard, sure. But those tomatoes, get them. I want a slimy tomato on there. Get out of town.

[Chick McGee]

For all the wienermobiles that made the race, there are some that didn't make the cut. Puka dog. Puka Dog from Hawaii.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Plain dog, Idaho dog, Ripper dog. That's from New Jersey, Sonoran Dog from Arizona, and Denver Dog did not make the race. I don't know how many wiener mobiles they have. Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Willie, if they do have betting, will you put 20 on slaw dog for me?

[Willie Griswold]

I mean, you know what? I'll just probably find odds with some guy here with a shirt off and drinking all morning. He's doing some good numbers on that one.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it. Thanks, buddy.

[Christy Lee]

It looks like Slaw Dog won the inaugural race. Thank you, Jess. And there is the Borg Wiener Trophy. Tom. In honor of.

[Chick McGee]

I hope they put something on the trophy other than a half of the wieners sticking out of it.

[Christy Lee]

No, there are wieners hot dogs sticking out of the top of the trophy. Can you see that?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Gorgeous.

[Christy Lee]

Isn't that gorgeous?

[Josh Arnold]

That's how I eat them.

[Tom Griswold]

And once again, the commander in beef will be the professional sidekick, Andy Richter.

[Josh Arnold]

Right on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Nice guy. We talked about to him a couple times before. Now, is that concluding our sports?

[Chick McGee]

No. The NFL Players association has reached an agreement with a company called jams. That's capital J, A M, lowercase S. JAMS will become the associations the NFL, the league's exclusive peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Whoa. I'm telling you, this is going to cause a problem. Yeah. NFL players love uncrustables.

[Josh Arnold]

I just sold my uncrustables.

[Tom Griswold]

Short.

[Chick McGee]

Short.

[Josh Arnold]

I shorted.

[Chick McGee]

You should have.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Good move.

[Tom Griswold]

Didn't we? Wasn't it? The Denver Broncos had eaten more uncrusted.

[Chick McGee]

I think so, like 700 a week or something like that. Some crazy number.

[Tom Griswold]

But this is not the NFL. This is the Players Association. So is there going to be some kind of.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. But according to Adam Schefter from ESPN, J.J. watt and Caleb Williams are part of Jam's ownership group and the player led partnership will make the PB and JS available league wide this season. So there you go. But I can't imagine the way NFL players are.

[Tom Griswold]

They're.

[Chick McGee]

They like. They like what they like, when they like them. Yeah. And if they start switching stuff up, there's going to be a. A work stoppage.

[Tom Griswold]

So these jams I under. As I understand it, they're just like the Uncrustables. It's a pre made PB and J.

[Chick McGee]

I'm assuming a lot. Yes.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah. I think it's more squared than circular though. And I hate that I do know this. But it is a square, not a circle, I believe.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Have you had the jam, Willie?

[Willie Griswold]

I believe so. I've had the Jams. I've had the Uncrustables. I've had the quick Trip brand version of this. I'm a big fan of the pressed

[Josh Arnold]

BB and J which's your go to.

[Willie Griswold]

I think the best is just one that you make yourself. If we're being totally honest, that's a boring answer. But the incrustables are pretty good in a pinch. And they have a raspberry varietal that I'm pretty into. There's also a chocolate honey varietal.

[Christy Lee]

You know, I could. I could pass down my uncrustable press. I have a little press thing that you put on and it makes your own like the.

[Willie Griswold]

The pudgy pocket, like the campfire kind of thing.

[Christy Lee]

It's just like a little press. Like a little.

[Willie Griswold]

Sorry. I want to be £400. Christian. I'll talk about that for an hour. We can talk about anything else. I'm so sorry.

[Tom Griswold]

Now I have an idea for this. This. This product is called Jams. If they're looking for a theme song, I think we could go back to the great MC5. I don't know if how many of you remember this absolute contemporary classic. I'll play little bit of it for you. Yeah,

[Josh Arnold]

I was hoping it was BE Me too.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember this one?

[Josh Arnold]

Absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the.

[Willie Griswold]

Makes me want to eat a lot of PB and J.

[Tom Griswold]

The MC that is the ultimate. Probably the original garage band hit. It's awesome. You could opt maybe Dirty Water or one of those other ones, but that is such a garage band here. Hit. And by the way, thank you for beeping the beginning. That is the genuine intro of that song.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That's really something. So I.

[Josh Arnold]

You would pick that over Pump up the Jam. That's what I was going with.

[Chick McGee]

Pretty good.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom is jam's plural.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

That is better. It fits a little easier.

[Tom Griswold]

What. What is Pump up the Jam?

[Josh Arnold]

Remember that technotronic?

[Christy Lee]

You went to a game. You heard it. No, he's heard it.

[Willie Griswold]

It's one of the songs that if it was playing at a restaurant, you'd go, g. If this is playing here, then what?

[Chick McGee]

Playing in hell.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. Okay, we're gonna come back. We have got a double location today. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Christy Lee]

We have the carnival barker.

[Chick McGee]

All right, step right up. Step right up. I'll crawl on my belly like a reptile to sell you. Fill in the blank.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, the Indianapolis 500 is considered to be the largest single sporting event in the world. An estimated 350,000 fans on site, and it is a grandstand sellout for Sunday's 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. There'll also be tens of thousands of fans within the confines of the track, especially in something called the Snake Pit. And the Snake Pit is now more or less in turn four. Back in the day, it was in sort of in turn one.

[Chick McGee]

And of course, herpetologists. I've seen herpetologists in. In the know know that that's the largest gathering also of snakes I see for anyone.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. Sporting event.

[Chick McGee]

You got everything. Pythons, diamondbacks, copper hands, water moccasins.

[Tom Griswold]

And there's. There's a huge stage in the Snake Pit area. And there'll be special D. Five famous DJs will be playing during the race.

[Christy Lee]

Can you name any of them? Them?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's Pussman fam. But then, you know what?

[Chick McGee]

I. I think I know. Josh agrees with me on this. Maybe Willie can jump in. We always go to see Puss Man.

[Sam Schmidt]

That's all.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I will not have you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And who else did you mention? Butt fam.

[Chick McGee]

I think that's.

[Josh Arnold]

He's good.

[Willie Griswold]

Well, you don't miss Sunday show as well because they play the weird stuff on Sunday.

[Chick McGee]

Off the record.

[Tom Griswold]

And as I mentioned before, Connor Daly pissed his pants. Well, no, that's. That's true. Connor Daly will. He will. He will. Before he gets in his car, he will go to the stage at the Snake Pit.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's a man of the people. He tries to get everybody, the DJs to sign his helmet. But I know one of them is flying in that morning, is going to get helicoptered in. That's how busy that must be.

[Chick McGee]

That must be be Pussman.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's Pushman.

[Chick McGee]

That's the way he.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know. By the way, I can't wait to see that Puss copter just come right down.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. He comes out of those. Those Puss man curtains. There's Puss Man. The fan say that.

[Tom Griswold]

That may not be the name of the guy, but I. I mentioned this earlier. Cotter Daly last year announced that he had actually peed into his uniform. His racing suit, I should say, while in the car. And he briefly. He. Honest to God, he had a deal with the Depends people. He did some commercial stuff for them. Information at Depend. And they. There's no S now on Depends.

[Chick McGee]

There's not.

[Christy Lee]

You only need one.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Depend.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

No. When do they change it?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

If I go buy a. Go. If I. If I go box. Buy a box of Depends, it'll say Depend.

[Tom Griswold]

It says Depend. I don't believe unless you buy two.

[Chick McGee]

And Dean Sanders, it's not going to put an S on it because buy two boxes of it. Deion Sanders is spokesman, too.

[Tom Griswold]

Deion Sanders is a spokesman for. No kidding.

[Chick McGee]

He had Bladder cancer.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Back to you, Tom.

[Willie Griswold]

Facilities.

[Chick McGee]

The beauty of contract.

[Willie Griswold]

Got to use the facilities this morning to use the restroom. And you guys, I got to use a trough. One of my favorite things in life to use. I got to use one totally alone. I felt like a king. That's a special moment. Using the trough alone.

[Christy Lee]

Is that the first time that's ever happened to you?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Cuz it's always like you and 10 other guys and you get anxious, but using it alone, you feel special.

[Josh Arnold]

Dude, that was a tr. That was a urinal. Yeah, I filled up my water cup.

[Tom Griswold]

Now there was a time when they used to have the troughs where you'd be facing another guy.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They have those still in the good old days. They do. Wrigley.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right. It's. It's showdown time.

[Tom Griswold]

That is awesome. Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

On this Godwin misses those days.

[Willie Griswold]

Make eye contact with a fellow while you're doing it.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember being a little kid and using those. It was like being on the Maiden. The. The mist in the night.

[Chick McGee]

Brutal. Yeah. A lot of urine flying around.

[Tom Griswold]

Stand back. Well, we have to go back to the sports page. Is that correct?

[Chick McGee]

We have world records, Tom. Let's not forget stupid world record. Officials in Nepal say hundreds of climbers scaled Mount Everest in a single day, setting a new record. The Rishi Ram Bandari of the Expedition Operator Association, Nepal. That's right. The Eoan said 274. 274 climbers took advantage of clear weather to summit the world's tallest mountain on Wednesday 20th May. Previous record set on the Nepal side of Everest was on May 22, 2019 with 223 climbers. So your new record, 274 climbers summited.

[Tom Griswold]

It's ridiculous. If you saw it, saw the pictures, it showed just this huge line. It looks like they're selling concert tickets

[Chick McGee]

one of these days.

[Christy Lee]

Do they have a guy up there going, your. Your time is up. You must move on now.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Kidding.

[Chick McGee]

There would have to be someone to, to hurry you along while you're taking pictures.

[Josh Arnold]

You kind of lose the majesty when you're up there with that many people.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

And I. I guess now they have a slide to go down.

[Willie Griswold]

That's fine.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I. I watch a lot of Everest documentaries and when you're on the summit of Mount Everest, you're standing as high as planes fly. It's the same altitude. 30, 30,000.

[Christy Lee]

Think about that.

[Tom Griswold]

I looked, I looked this up. The fees for climbing Mount Everest very

[Chick McGee]

last I heard it was 80. 80 to $100,000.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Depending on. There's different plans, luxury plans, etc, etc. But yeah, you're looking at a minimum. Minimum probably of 35,000. Oh, and now, Josh, you're familiar with the groups of animals, they have such designations as a pod of whales, etc. Etc. You know what they call 200 people waiting to climb Mount Everest there?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a hubris of climbers. This has become ridiculous. It is. And by the way, read the book

[Chick McGee]

Look Into Thin Air.

[Tom Griswold]

Into Thin Air by John Krakauer. It's. And apparently the situation in which there are certain ice formations that can just fall at any given time. I guess it's real Kumbu icefalls. Apparently that's. It's a real hairy situation this year. But yeah, the. The majesty of doing it has really gone away.

[Chick McGee]

You know, there's gonna have to be a restaurant up there on the summit at some point.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

What do you think?

[Tom Griswold]

You want to even.

[Willie Griswold]

There's a Starbucks halfway through. Grab some egg bites and a cold brew for your journey.

[Chick McGee]

But on the summit at 30,000ft, it'd be a restaurant, but what It'd be like good food, but there's no atmosphere.

[Willie Griswold]

My bad on that one.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no. Antiseptic chick.

[Tom Griswold]

It cost the typical climber several thousand dollars for supplemental oxygen. A few other costs include your Sherpas. You've got to pay. And then it's luxury VIP expeditions to the top of Everest run about $300,000.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I don't tip the Sherpas.

[Christy Lee]

You don't?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, they're paid really born and raised to do that.

[Chick McGee]

Actually.

[Josh Arnold]

Actually it's honor for them to.

[Chick McGee]

Josh is way ahead of this. It is an insult to tip a Sherpa. I don't know. Right, right.

[Tom Griswold]

And wasn't the first guy actually named Sherpa? Isn't that the whole deal?

[Chick McGee]

I think there's a. A lot of them named. That's their name. That's where the Sherpa thing comes from. Okay, well, it's not in any Nepalese for climber or anything. It's just there.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Nepalese, not Nepalese.

[Chick McGee]

No. Did I say that?

[Tom Griswold]

Although I guess when you're at that altitude, your Nepalese are sticking way out. Right, Pat?

[Chick McGee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Do we have one more world. We do.

[Chick McGee]

Stupid world record. Are you ready? Yes. A so called turf care influencer, she's known as the Lawn Queen, has broken the Guinness World record for the fastest time to mow an area the Size of a football field. Holly Ryman mowed the turf mutt Great lawn at Louisville's waterfront park in 14 minutes, 51 seconds to achieve the record title.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this with an auto, electric, or gas powered lawnmower?

[Chick McGee]

This is my job. Organizers said Guinness rules required the grass to be at least 6 inches prior to mowing. Or 6 inches briar. That sounds like a turf lingo there. I'm not up on my turf Care lingo.

[Tom Griswold]

Listen, she's a Turf Care influencer. That's got to be a relatively small group. That.

[Josh Arnold]

That's it.

[Christy Lee]

Who does she get sponsors from? I'm trying to think of a. I

[Josh Arnold]

actually follow a Turf Care. Well, it's not. It's a guy named. It's called SB Mowing. And he goes around and he cuts these lawns for free. And it's as fascinating.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I follow that guy.

[Sam Schmidt]

I love that guy.

[Chick McGee]

I love all the weeds out.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Time lapse of him doing his job, it's. It's fascinating. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Yard work is tough, but watching someone else do yard work, that's a nice time.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it is.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you learned that from your dad?

[Chick McGee]

That's a. That's what they call a Griswold tradition.

[Christy Lee]

You like the videos, too?

[Chick McGee]

Come on, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Whenever that guy's finished cutting my lawn, I always say grassy ass.

[Chick McGee]

There we are. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that Spanish for thanks for cutting the wall?

[Chick McGee]

Christy, you're close.

[Willie Griswold]

You're getting there.

[Chick McGee]

It's Friday, then it's going to be Saturday, and then it's going to be Sunday, and then it's going to be.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, that's exactly right. Thanks to my Tucson Hybrid. I love my Hyundai. Yep, it comes with America's best warranty. We also have advanced safety features and the latest in technology. You can't find a better hybrid, Trust me. The Tucson Hybrid waiting for you at your local Hyundai dealer. If you would like something still stylish, but yet a little more off roady is what I call it. Check out the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe hybrid with the power to navigate wherever you want to take it. Check out the hybrids from Sunday. From Sunday. Hyundai. See what you've done, Chick? The best of both Worlds. Visit Hyundai USA.com your local Hyundai dealer, or 562-314-4603 for all the details. And did I mention wonderful gas mileage? That's right. You don't have to plug them in. Not these hybrids. They do have an all EC thing, but that's a different story. Check out the hybrids from Hyundai.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to sing. Whatever you say. Best of both worlds. I want to go into my Sammy Hagar.

[Christy Lee]

I know, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Lately, I've been singing my new Miley. Cy Cyrus does Molly Smiley. Miley Cyrus sing that song.

[Chick McGee]

And Montana.

[Willie Griswold]

Hannah Montana sings the song. Miley might help to write it a little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

I like to sing a. Do you know who makes the Santa Fe? Little Hal David.

[Chick McGee]

Conservative estimates. 70 years ago. What? He's talking about 70 years.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a classic. By the way, Christy, you were talking about the hybrid system, you know, that's on the Indy cars now.

[Christy Lee]

It sure is.

[Tom Griswold]

It's pretty cool. And we were talking about yesterday with some of the drivers. We're going to be posting those interviews on our social media platforms. We talked to some of the great drivers getting ready for the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500, including a guy who's won it four times, Elio Castroneves. He's also the guy that won Dancing with the Stars, and he's a great guy. Can you imagine if he won it again? That'd be the. He'd be the first person ever to win for. Yeah. Now we're gonna get back to more action, including a chat with a couple of guys that have won the Indianapolis 500. Also, we're gonna talk with the Oscar Mayer Hot Doggers because there's gonna be a special event today that'll be the Wiener Mobile race. And apparently you can lay serious cash on this. Am I correct in saying that?

[Christy Lee]

Is that right, Willie?

[Willie Griswold]

I do not. I cannot find any lines online, but we will check with the locals, see if any cool guys with their shirts off want to bet with old Will.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Very good. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there's Christie Lake.

[Tom Griswold]

Lee.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, there's Pat. Pat Godwin.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold. Hi. Ace Cosby. Hey, Jeff Osk.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Willie Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

Hey. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I got a new idea, Christy, for a new weather thing.

[Christy Lee]

All right. What's that?

[Tom Griswold]

I was just noticing how great your hair looks.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

And I know that at least the women I know, they. They'll often say things like that their hair, the look of it depends on the humidity and the weather, etc. Etc. Would that be. Would that be a nice ancillary piece to every weather forecast?

[Christy Lee]

I could do that. I Could do a frizz warning. Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

A frizz warning.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, Frizz warning. Because when it's humid, your hair frizzes up. That gets curlier. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, your hair. Well, your hair.

[Christy Lee]

My hair, but okay. Other people. Yeah, it's a frizz warning. It's not humid out here. It's. It's kind of chilly, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

Not as cold as it was last year.

[Josh Arnold]

No way better than that now.

[Tom Griswold]

The 110th running of Indianapolis 500 coming up on Sunday. If you can't be there, if you can't be one of the 300,000 plus people, it will be broadcast on Fox Sports. They'll be doing a great job. They've got cameras everywhere. And it looks like it'll be pretty fast because it may be cloudy with relatively low temperatures, which means. Makes a difference. Is that right, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Partly cloudy, which means we'll see some sun and a high of 74. To me, that's perfect race weather, I would think, as a driver. I think they like it a little more cloudy, but we can talk to some of those guys later. I have to do this right now. You need to hit the pop up shop because the Q95 Bob and Tom shirt is everywhere right now. It's amazing, Tom, how many people they sold out.

[Tom Griswold]

So we've done it.

[Sam Schmidt]

We've.

[Tom Griswold]

We've done a set second run. We have some other cool new stuff for a variety of things. Thanks for mentioning that, Christy, as usual.

[Christy Lee]

Impressive.

[Tom Griswold]

I always forget to do what I'm supposed to do in the radio.

[Christy Lee]

No, that's okay. There's a lot going on here right now. We're in the fan midway if you're looking for us and you're, you know, trying to find out where Josh and Willie and I are. It is filling up, right, guys?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

We're about throngs of people adoring us.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And I'm. I'm honestly getting a little tired of being. Being ogled by the female patron. But it is the price of being. Being handsome.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe take your shirt off, see what happens.

[Josh Arnold]

I was already in the snake pit doing that, and I was quickly. They threw a trash bag over me.

[Willie Griswold]

No, they didn't. They said, josh looks so good. We're replacing the naked man on the Burg Warner statue with Josh naked on top of the statue. He looks nice. He looks free in the wind.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, we.

[Tom Griswold]

We did learn that this morning. The famous Borg Warner trail trophy. That's got to be one of the most famous trophies in sports.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

It's certainly one of the oldest.

[Chick McGee]

Stanley Cup. Vince Lombardi.

[Tom Griswold]

Stanley Cup. The Lombardi Trophy. Lombardi Trophy isn't nearly that old, though.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, Gosh, no. Stanley Cup's the oldest, I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. America's cup, the sailing.

[Chick McGee]

Have they been playing hockey since 1870 or some crazy number?

[Tom Griswold]

Wimbledon's. But it's certainly one of the classics. And we learned earlier today that the

[Chick McGee]

I'm a plate guy guy, though. I like plates.

[Tom Griswold]

I do not like the plates.

[Chick McGee]

I know, I know. That's why I said I hate the plates. Yeah, he hates the plates.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I want a trophy.

[Chick McGee]

A Wimbledon. They get a plate.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's no good.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

At the French Open, they get an ashtray.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't that nice?

[Chick McGee]

Maybe because they smoke a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

That's this weekend. That starts this weekend, right?

[Chick McGee]

Is it this weekend?

[Tom Griswold]

July 4th on the clay. Oh, I thought it was this week.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, maybe the next week.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe now. The big event this week, weekend, of course, is the Indy 500. We already got a couple of former winners, I understand, to talk to.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, as long as they get their pictures taken quickly.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Well, then that's another story.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, well, that's fine, but when

[Christy Lee]

did the Borg Warner trophy actually begin? Do you guys remember 110? Because I got a little trophy if I've been over at the museum, and it seems like they started out smaller, like the big trophy. I'm trying to figure that out.

[Tom Griswold]

If, if you're a winner.

[Christy Lee]

1936 is when it was, was unveiled.

[Chick McGee]

That's exactly what I was going to say.

[Tom Griswold]

They give you chick. They give you a mini one.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And you'll recall it has the faces of each winner in 3D. They're sculpted and added to it. And then, but the one, the winner gets a smaller one without the. And then they, they get their face at the bottom on a little plat.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's cool.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So do you know who won in 1936? Tom. Who won the first Borg Warner? Actually,

[Tom Griswold]

Gomer Flintstone.

[Josh Arnold]

He came in third that year.

[Chick McGee]

Amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I, I, I don't know who won in 36?

[Christy Lee]

Lou Meyer won the Borg Warner.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

The famous. Well, that's good to know.

[Chick McGee]

And then he opened up the, the, the film production studio, Metro Gold.

[Christy Lee]

No. And then he started the hot dog company, Oscar Meyer. And that's why we're doing it.

[Tom Griswold]

None of these facts are correct.

[Josh Arnold]

Do we know who the naked man is on top of the trophy?

[Chick McGee]

Arnold Far.

[Willie Griswold]

Jerry West.

[Chick McGee]

Jerry West. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

He's on all the logos.

[Josh Arnold]

I thought he looked familiar.

[Tom Griswold]

And, and again, there is a naked guy on top of the trophy.

[Christy Lee]

And yeah, he's modeled after just a Greek athlete, Jack.

[Tom Griswold]

And by the way, he's not, he didn't win the race. You can tell he's not in the excited mode, if you will.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, so he's waving the checker flag. You'd think he'd be excited.

[Chick McGee]

You think when Sunday is going to have an erection? Is that what you're saying? Right, right.

[Josh Arnold]

That's why they pour the milk over themselves, to cool that thing down.

[Tom Griswold]

It's like if you're doing lathe work with metal. My God, it's like when you eat

[Josh Arnold]

a jalapeno pepper, you need milk to cool.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

These are all true facts.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There is a naked guy on top of the Borg Warner and it's, it's. They always photograph so you can't see that. Now I wonder if Fox Sports, because they're going to do incredible coverage. Their coverage already is amazing. And be sure to tune in early because the celebration and the various pageantry is awesome. The word awesome is overused, but when you see those Blackhawk helicopters flying over

[Christy Lee]

the crowd, if you don't get goosebumps, you're. You're dead.

[Tom Griswold]

And I keep waiting, by the way, I, I. Christy, I know that your daughters attended Purdue University.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And they bring that gigantic drum down.

[Christy Lee]

Uhhuh.

[Tom Griswold]

I keep waiting for some rock band to lease, lease that for a show because, you know, there was a period of time, especially when bands would have a guy up there that would have 75 drums.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, the, the guy in rush, Neil, per all those. Wouldn't that be cool, though, to just have a guy standing there just for one huge hit on the Purdue drum?

[Christy Lee]

Has that ever happened? Sophie, has anybody rented that? No. She says no. Nobody's ever done that before.

[Tom Griswold]

That would be cool.

[Christy Lee]

That's a great idea.

[Josh Arnold]

And she also gave us the finger.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, they're getting a new president.

[Willie Griswold]

Why would I know that?

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe, maybe the new president will be cool enough to do that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, maybe.

[Josh Arnold]

Chris, could you, could you let Sophie know that I, I know my credit card got denied, but I will have a new one in and that only fans payment will go through immediately.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Christy Lee]

She's shaking her head. Okay, that's fine. Understands.

[Josh Arnold]

And she says that she knows. She always thought that was. That was you, Jeff, under the code name Boner Beard.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

So right through me.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we're gonna let Christy Lee do her job. Do you have a couple of new stories for us, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

What do you want to talk about? You want to talk about those stories that you were or the words that are most misspelled? Yeah. America's most. We're gonna learn. You people. Listen up. America's most misspelled words according to an analysis conducted by unscramblered.com.

[Josh Arnold]

can I guess?

[Christy Lee]

Top 10? Can I guess, guess, guess one and I'll tell you.

[Chick McGee]

My.

[Josh Arnold]

My worst one is restaurant.

[Christy Lee]

Restaurant is mine, too. That's funny you bring it up. Not in the top ten, Jeff.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

No, I'm totally with you on that. Is not on the list either.

[Willie Griswold]

I learned how to spell that one pretty quick when you.

[Chick McGee]

I have a trick for restaurant. I pronounce it rest restaurant in my head, and it's. That gives you the tau. That there before you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay. I know that the most mispronounced is restaurateur. There's no N. It's not Restaurant tour. That's right. You're welcome.

[Willie Griswold]

Why are you taking this out on us right now?

[Chick McGee]

You know what? You know, he really thinks he's helping right now.

[Josh Arnold]

He really.

[Christy Lee]

You know what mine is?

[Chick McGee]

We got that restaurant tour all cleared up.

[Tom Griswold]

Educating the proletariat is my goal.

[Chick McGee]

And there's. There's more. There's more of those every day.

[Christy Lee]

All right, number 10 is pterodactyl. Pterodactyl. Not on the list.

[Chick McGee]

Son of a guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Most misspelled words.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead.

[Christy Lee]

Misspelled words.

[Chick McGee]

Gonorrhea.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you are not helping.

[Chick McGee]

Sorry.

[Christy Lee]

Separate is one.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

Separate.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. Like. Yeah, yeah, Keep it two A's.

[Christy Lee]

A lot of people think it's two E's. Right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Number nine. Niece. I before E, except after C. That

[Josh Arnold]

doesn't apply to that word.

[Christy Lee]

Except. Yes. I was getting there.

[Tom Griswold]

Were you before? I wouldn't.

[Christy Lee]

See, Number eight is beautiful.

[Josh Arnold]

Beautiful.

[Christy Lee]

I don't have any trouble with beautiful.

[Willie Griswold]

Spell eight. What's so hard? A, T, E. What's next?

[Christy Lee]

Definitely comes in at number seven.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah, defiantly. I'll do that by accident a lot.

[Chick McGee]

The autocorrect, you dummy.

[Christy Lee]

Number six is because. Because. Because.

[Josh Arnold]

Because.

[Chick McGee]

Because.

[Josh Arnold]

Because.

[Chick McGee]

Because of whatever language they know.

[Christy Lee]

How do you misspell that?

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder?

[Willie Griswold]

E, C, U, Z or something.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, tomorrow is number five.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I can. It's people put two M's.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Instead of two.

[Christy Lee]

Business number four.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's business. B, I, D, N, E, S, S. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Business through number number three.

[Tom Griswold]

That's because of drive throughs they probably spell a T. HRU Probably Favorite number two.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I learned that one from watching my favorite Martian. The great. The great Ray Walston.

[Christy Lee]

My favorite Martian. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because they had the way the logo

[Christy Lee]

was very handy and the number one misspelled word. Bougie.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay, that makes sense.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't, I didn't think bougie was a word. I'm bourgeois

[Josh Arnold]

slang. It is slang. Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Like we have a guest. I don't know if he knows how to spell bougie. Do you know how to spell bougie out?

[Tom Griswold]

I do not. You like to do the bougie woogie.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Good morning.

[Christy Lee]

Good morning. We have Alan. Sir. Julie, you're joining us. Two time Indy 500 winner. How are you today?

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you. Doing well.

[Christy Lee]

And you're wearing your nice jacket. Do you want to explain to everyone about these beautiful new kind of a

[Tom Griswold]

semi new jacket, an idea of Rogers. Yes, he gives the past winners jackets and they got pictures of all the, the wins and so on, on the inside of it.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's. Yeah, very cool.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, and there's room for your flask.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So al the, the artwork is on the inside. You had to pull out the lapels.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, yes, yes. So your artwork is on the inside.

[Christy Lee]

So that's custom made for each driver. Isn't that awesome?

[Chick McGee]

Yep. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Now do you leave them here like at the Masters or do you get to take those home?

[Tom Griswold]

No, they have to be left here.

[Sam Schmidt]

They've got devices inside them.

[Tom Griswold]

GPSs.

[Josh Arnold]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

They track us, so we better watch. Yeah, exactly.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Ari's do not go to a strip club tonight.

[Christy Lee]

Ari Lyon Dyke is also joining us, another two time winner. You don't have your jacket on. Where's yours?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

I just put it in the car, cuz I'm cold.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay, fair enough. Fair enough.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

And I cannot go. Do I have to go to the driver's meeting at 9 o'?

[Chick McGee]

Clock?

[Christy Lee]

Oh yeah, you work now. I forgot.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yeah, I do.

[Christy Lee]

Ari works in race Control. For those of you who don't know about that, you know that, that mean

[Josh Arnold]

car race racing, right? He's not controlling who gets in here.

[Chick McGee]

However, I. I think the time is right to talk about true race control.

[Tom Griswold]

No, you're not talking about that.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, you guys.

[Tom Griswold]

Now Ari, Ari, what does. Tell us, what does one do at race Control?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Where is this person?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, he's, he's right there on. That's Tom. He's back at the station.

[Willie Griswold]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

What I do in race control together with Max Baptist who's another ex driver, drove Indy cars, Formula One, NASCAR, you name it. But Max and I are the two race stewards. Al Jr. Used to do this as well a long time ago before I came along. And we just look at strictly what the drivers do on track. You know, avoidable contact, blocking, just unsportsman like behavior.

[Tom Griswold]

Avoidable contact. You know, those words didn't exist when we raced.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

We could just go and run over whatever we wanted to.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yeah. And we used to block. We used to block each other so bad. It was like, oh, man, am I gonna really do this to him? But yeah, no blocking anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

Right. Ari, are you able to. Then do you radio a penalty somebody. How does that work?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Well, we have like 20 people up there in race control. The communications are with race control. All the teams are in communication with race control. And for instance, let's say one driver thinks that another guy blocked him. And you know, we can't see everything of all 33 guys, but they will message it to IndyCar. Then I get the message. We find the video. Video, we find when it happened. We. We want them to tell us, when did it happen? Where did it happen? We find it, we look at the tape and we go, oh, yeah, yeah, he did block him. And then we put it under review, and then we look at it some more, and then we decide if we penalize or not.

[Tom Griswold]

So by that time. By that time the race is over.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

No, no,

[Tom Griswold]

the way he's describing it, it is the race is over by the time you do all that.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

We try to do everything like within a couple of minutes because we don't want to, you know, because it could affect their strategy if they get a penalty. So then they. Then they get their penalty and then they, you know, revisit and change their strategy.

[Tom Griswold]

This is why the drivers want to make best friends of Ari and Max. They want to make best friends with

[Josh Arnold]

these best friend money exchange. All right, you guys are putting it

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

to a whole new stupid level.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what we do.

[Christy Lee]

I want you to lose your job.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we're going to take. We're going to take a long break. We'll take a short break before we

[Chick McGee]

back with another level of stupid in just a minute.

[Tom Griswold]

But first, I want to remind you about our friends at American Financing. Your house is probably worth a lot more than it was just a couple years ago. It's amazing that the average house in the United States, your home, is worth about 40% more than it was, say, five years ago. Maybe not yours, but most of them are I was just looking at some averages and if Your house is 10 years or older, it may be worth maybe double of what it was. So what's the advantage of this? Well, you don't have to sell your house to take advantage of all that cash sitting there, all that equity in your house. You can actually tap into that and get handed a check. This is what the folks at American Financing are all about. You can get all the [e-mail] and the idea is your house is worth a lot more. So why not grab some of the cash and do something with it that's fun, Maybe build a new, I don't know, fix up your kitchen, get a new garage, whatever it might be, pay off some credit cards. The average client right now at American Financing is saving about 800 bucks a month. They also have a program that would knock two mortgage payments down the road a couple of months, limited time on that. So get the details by visiting American financing.net and by the way, no pressure. In about 10 minutes they can tell you if this program might actually work, work for you to reset your finances and claim some of that cash that's sitting in the value of your property. Salary based consultants, no pressure. Like I said, about 10 minutes when you speak to them and you can call them at 866-889-2611 or just go to americanfinancing.net do me a favor and put slash Bob and Tom so they know that we sent you. That's americanfinancing.net NMLS 182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org APR for rates in the five started 6.327%.

[Tom Griswold]

thank you. That's right.

[Chick McGee]

All right, folks, here we go. Yes, Sir. In the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios and at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it's the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello. Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold, it's I.

[Josh Arnold]

He waits until we're on the air.

[Chick McGee]

I love everything happening right now. There's Ace Cosby. There's Jeff. Oh, there's Willie Griswold around there somewhere.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he went to get hot dogs for us.

[Chick McGee]

Nice. I'm Chick. There's Tom and, and Christy and Josh have special guests out there, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I can see him on the big screen. The legendary Al Unser Jr. And the equally legendary Ari Lyon. Dyke. And I know Ari's got to get to a meeting, so we'll be quick. Ari. And I know you got some serious business to take care of. The fastest man ever.

[Christy Lee]

Ever.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that still true? Is that still the case?

[Christy Lee]

On or off the track?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Officially. Four lap and one lab record.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's both on and off.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

But what I was talking about. Didn't you go faster in practice, though? I thought that was the thing.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yeah, we did, but it was with the toe of another car. It was not by myself, you know? You know, even now they. They show on the screen the. The quickest laps, but then they also show the quickest. No toe lap. And they. They figure out, I don't know how far ahead the car must be.

[Tom Griswold]

10 seconds.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Far more aloes, because.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yeah. That. That draft has a big effect on. On the speed. So if you catch a little bit of a air pocket from a car created ahead of you.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

It makes a big difference. So we went almost 240 on that Friday.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Amazing.

[Sam Schmidt]

In 1990, on Friday, before qualifying, I went out at the, like, happy hour and I.

[Tom Griswold]

Excuse me.

[Sam Schmidt]

I got a big draft from A.J.

[Tom Griswold]

foy, and we went 228 miles an hour. And that was the fastest ever at that time.

[Chick McGee]

I remember that.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

He was a favorite for the pole. But people realized you didn't do that on your own.

[Tom Griswold]

That's right.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

They hyped it up. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I didn't even know. I mean, I just. Once I started that lap, I could see that I was catching him and I went, oh, this is going to be a good lap.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

And those are just for fun. Really. They're not really realistic.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Tom, these guys have to go, but I wanted to ask one question before they do. We've been talking a lot about Josh walk up music for baseball players.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

If you guys could play any tune for a pace lap in your car right before the race, what would it be?

[Tom Griswold]

Mine would be Bon Jovi, dead or alive.

[Christy Lee]

That's cool.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Christy Lee]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

Tempting the fates, isn't it now?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now that I don't drive, you

[Christy Lee]

know, it's okay to do right now.

[Tom Griswold]

Ari, are you gonna do something? Please say, like, radar love. Something cool from your home country.

[Chick McGee]

Radar love.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Golden earrings.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

My childhood favorite. Band.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's band. That's a song. You can't drive slow to either no, Right.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

I had no idea. I probably play 50 Cent.

[Christy Lee]

50 Cent.

[Josh Arnold]

I would have lost money on that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. Well, I dig 50 like that.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I would have. I'm with you, Josh. Yeah, but you. You are Dutch. Of course. And that's. I think that's one of the greatest driving songs of all time. Did you ever meet the guys from Golden Earring?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

No, but my very first concert I ever went to was a Golden Earring concert.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

I've always been a big fan.

[Christy Lee]

What about you, Al? What was your first concert ever?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, gosh, I can't remember.

[Christy Lee]

Whoa. Okay. Can't remember that memorable, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Or.

[Josh Arnold]

Or it was that fun.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no. Marshall Tucker.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, all right.

[Tom Griswold]

Marshall Tucker in Albuquerque. Yeah. If Willie were there. If Willie were still there, he could remember his first concert, but for a different reason. Well, thanks, guys. It's always a great pleasure speaking to Al and Ari. You guys are the best.

[Christy Lee]

Real quick, Ari wants to say something.

[Tom Griswold]

I want him to say, Ari's got a big book out there. Here. That's what I wanted to plug. Real quick, Ari Lionbeck, the biography of a unique racing life. Okay, Ari, what'd you want to say?

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

I just want to take a moment to remember Kyle Busch passed away, like, mysteriously had a chest infection or something weird. But just passed away. And it was such tragic, sad news.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Yesterday.

[Chick McGee]

So I know he.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Brother. Well, could. I haven't been able to get a hold of him. He's obviously getting thousands of texts, but. Yeah. What a Saturday.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Thank you, Ari. Thank you.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you both. Yeah, we appreciate. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Switch gears here, I think, for just a second, and we'll head back over to the sports desk with a.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right? Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we. We can do that. I think they're doing a change of. Changing of the guard over there at the speedway.

[Christy Lee]

Trying to do a change of the guard. Yes, that's exactly right. But we could talk about something else. We talked about the. What other stories do we want?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I want Pat. Pat's been itching to play a song, Christie.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, here we go.

[Christy Lee]

I'd love for Pat to play a song.

[Tom Griswold]

We.

[Chick McGee]

We all thought it was a rash, but no, it's. He wants to play a song.

[Tom Griswold]

And here's what it's all about. We had a news story yesterday about swearing. This is really quite interesting that some scientific studies were done, and they showed that actual cursing can really change the way you do things with respect to the abilities that one has it actually enhances one's performance. And these were scientific experiments in which the research showed it can give your performance when you use actual curse words. For example, while you say lifting weights. People could lift more if they were screaming out obscenities. And Pat, I believe you have a tribute. I do, yes. I was five.

[Chick McGee]

Heard my dad in our garage. Son of a man, how he cursed working on his car.

[Tom Griswold]

He had a foul mouth but a good heart. Ragged saga tick a ricket and a. I learned how to curse throughout the years.

[Chick McGee]

When to swear and when to stay clear. You don't drop the F bomb in church to start. I swear like my daddy and his dad before they swore. I swear when a hammer hit my my thumb and it was sore, man, I swore. For better or worse, I love to curse.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that George Carlin routine.

[Chick McGee]

My heart. I swear.

[Tom Griswold]

Fna think about that. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, we'll find out here if the drivers of the Wiener Mobiles do anything any cursing when they're racing each other.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's there?

[Josh Arnold]

Joined now by by a couple Hot doggers.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. From the Corn Dog. Corn Dog Wiener Mobile. Who do we have on our dais? Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm Tailgate Trey.

[Christy Lee]

Tailgate Trey.

[Chick McGee]

Not Meatloaf Maggie.

[Christy Lee]

Meatloaf Maggie.

[Tom Griswold]

Maggie.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

All right.

[Sam Schmidt]

Excellent.

[Tom Griswold]

Now the, the Hot doggers explain what they're going to be doing today, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Well, at 2:15 you're to going to be racing five other Wiener mobiles. How confident do you feel today?

[Sam Schmidt]

Oh, we've got a great vehicle out there.

[Tom Griswold]

We've got a special upgrade to it

[Christy Lee]

that I think people will be pretty excited for.

[Tom Griswold]

For checking out some new aerodynamics on.

[Chick McGee]

How about you?

[Tom Griswold]

Here it comes now.

[Josh Arnold]

Now had the, had the Corn Dog Mobile been in an accident before? Cuz it looked a little battered to me.

[Chick McGee]

Battered? I mean we got our fresh stick on the there. We're very careful not to scratch our

[Christy Lee]

buns and we're really excited to get

[Chick McGee]

it out on that track.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there you go. Maggie.

[Tom Griswold]

Maggie Meatloaf. Maggie, yours is of course an automatic and I understand that the. Once again the Corn Dog Wiener Mobile is a stick which may give you an advantage.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a well worn truism.

[Chick McGee]

Damn right.

[Tom Griswold]

And also posing as a joke, what time is the big event at the Indianapolis Motorsport Speedway with the wiener mobiles, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

215. 215. Right, Maggie? Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Fun kicks off at 2:00'.

[Tom Griswold]

Clock.

[Christy Lee]

You want to tune in? Oh really?

[Tom Griswold]

Now is, is there. Is There a pace car for this?

[Christy Lee]

We just got our six wiener mobiles

[Chick McGee]

out on that track today.

[Christy Lee]

Ah, so no pace. Who would pace car? The wiener mobile, Tom? Would it be a. A ketchup bottle?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the pace car is a cool, really cool Corvette. I mean, it might not be able to go slow enough for the. For the wiener mobiles. What is your top speed going to be likely? Do we have any idea?

[Christy Lee]

Sometimes it's not about speed on that track.

[Chick McGee]

It really depends.

[Christy Lee]

Once we get out there, we're still

[Chick McGee]

tuning in our strategy.

[Christy Lee]

Keeping it a bit close to our stomachs, but focusing on those left turns for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

So have you. Do you have experience on this track, Trey?

[Tom Griswold]

We got a couple practice sessions just like the pros, so we've got some time out there.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, dialing the setup.

[Tom Griswold]

Like I said, we got to practice with that six foot stick on the

[Christy Lee]

back of corndog there.

[Willie Griswold]

So.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah, we.

[Tom Griswold]

We've been driving the wienermobiles for about 11 months now. So we've driven it all over city streets, back roads, highways, and we've made a lot of left turns. So we are, we're excited to get

[Christy Lee]

out there and make some of the most exciting turns. Do the other drivers in the other mobiles have the same amount of experience or are they more experienced? Do you know what I'm saying? Is everybody pretty even?

[Tom Griswold]

Every year, Oscar Meyer ushers in a new class of hot doggers. So everybody starts at the same time. You only get to be a hot dogger for a year. So that's a big finale for us. We've been doing it for about 11 months. And yeah, so we're all equally experienced.

[Christy Lee]

That's great.

[Chick McGee]

Travel different regions of the country.

[Christy Lee]

So we all kind of get our own experiences. It's definitely going to be interesting to

[Chick McGee]

see how that all comes together out on that track.

[Christy Lee]

And what was your region?

[Chick McGee]

I was the southeast region.

[Christy Lee]

And then now Tilga, Trey and I

[Chick McGee]

are of part of the center cut central region.

[Christy Lee]

Center cut central.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you get the gig? How do you. How does one sign up to be a hot dogger?

[Christy Lee]

Well, you have to cut the mustard.

[Chick McGee]

It is a bit.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh yeah, you do.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. No idea.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, there is an application process, but

[Chick McGee]

we hire new drivers every year about November, December, January, that time of year.

[Christy Lee]

Tailgate.

[Chick McGee]

Trey and I both threw in our

[Christy Lee]

applications and we were part of the

[Chick McGee]

lucky 12 dogs that made the team.

[Tom Griswold]

Can your wheel wiener mobile go through like a bank drive through? I mean, we try not to take

[Christy Lee]

them through drive throughs. I mean they're 11ft tall, which is

[Chick McGee]

24 hot dogs tall.

[Josh Arnold]

Who knew?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh. Well, we wish you the best of luck today.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you.

[Christy Lee]

I think we're gonna have hot dogs next break to celebrate.

[Chick McGee]

Love to hear that.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Because we want you. We want you to win. Yeah. Throw me a corn dog, girl. I'll eat that. Of course.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, thanks, everybody. I had a. I had a hot dog yesterday at the track. We're going to come right Back to the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

More of the show is on the way. You can find us on X. Bob and Tom. Or you can email us at Bob and Tom. Bob and tom dot com.

[Tom Griswold]

White River.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Some of us in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, others at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

How are you?

[Chick McGee]

Howdy do? There's Pat Godwin. Hello, Chick. There's Josh Arnold. Hi. Hi. There's Jeff Oskay. Hello. There's Ace Cosby and Willie Griswold. Hey, I'm Chick. And hello, Tom. Happy race weekend.

[Christy Lee]

All right, Tommy, look what I got.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, hot dogs. Oh, wrapped in foil.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I've been waiting for two breaks. Willie and I both have our hot dogs. We wanted to share these with you.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Krista, you eat them like you eat them sideways, like corn in the cob. So as not to be too erotic.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Look at the size of that thing.

[Christy Lee]

My hot dog. The bun doesn't fit the dog, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it doesn't.

[Tom Griswold]

That is a. That is one serious dog.

[Josh Arnold]

Put your hand around that.

[Chick McGee]

The employee.

[Christy Lee]

Two hands.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, boy.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, we just kicked in now.

[Tom Griswold]

Kicked in the slow mo camera.

[Chick McGee]

How many times have I gone somewhere and the porn's broken out? These hot dogs are pretty good. You guys, you guys got to try these.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. So, Tom, did you enjoy yours yesterday? Did it?

[Tom Griswold]

I did.

[Chick McGee]

You're glizzy.

[Christy Lee]

It was up to par with the one you had at the stadium.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was great. I, I, I'm developing a new love for hot dogs.

[Josh Arnold]

Slower, slower. Christy just took a bite and everyone cheered.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, girl.

[Tom Griswold]

Party time.

[Josh Arnold]

Hit the uvula.

[Chick McGee]

I can't help but think one of the voices cheering is her daughter. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Fortunately, she's left somewhere.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

I think beer pong started.

[Tom Griswold]

We just were talking with some of the drivers. The hot doggers from the Wiener Mobiles. Maggie, I've always been a big fan of the Wiener Mobile.

[Christy Lee]

Tailgate tray.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I like any product that they can. They can turn into a. Turn into an automobile.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Like, did they ever make a cigarette boat that look like a giant cigarette? That'd be cool. That'd be cool.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

H. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

They've got the peanut mobile. There are many, many out there. They're. They're very, very nice. Now we've had a lot of fun discussing many of the interesting facts about the Indianapolis 500 and the speedway once again. There'll be an estimated 350,000 people in person at the speedway coming up on Sunday. A special edition of this show will be available on YouTube and on. If you go to our website, if you go to bobandtom.com, we can get you linked up to it. If you want to hear some. We'll be playing some really obscure tributes which include the famous Max zero, among others.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, Coming.

[Christy Lee]

How are you doing, Tom?

[Willie Griswold]

Are you bleeding?

[Christy Lee]

Are you bleeding?

[Tom Griswold]

What's going on? I'm bleeding. Sorry.

[Willie Griswold]

You guys got to watch on YouTube so you can see my old man

[Tom Griswold]

take care of his arm.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

It's pretty funny.

[Willie Griswold]

Putting on Neosporin and Windex to make sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I believe it was a lens wipe.

[Chick McGee]

He loves.

[Willie Griswold]

You can use that.

[Chick McGee]

You know, he also uses. He uses way too much super glue on his body all the time. It's just.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I have a wound. I'm gonna have to super glue this.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't you shut that? Your arm all the way up there by your elbow in your car door? Isn't that how that.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Willie Griswold]

Maybe you have these wounds because you keep gluing yourself and you're just sticking to things.

[Tom Griswold]

I opened my car door and it flung back at me. It just. I've got a huge bruise here, but I had to put. I put makeup on it so it's not too disgusting.

[Willie Griswold]

Paper mache on yourself right now.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry, sorry.

[Christy Lee]

We were talking about the Oscar Meyer people and we had the corn dog folks here. They are selling actually at the concession stand, not just the plain hot dog like I ate, but they also have last year's winner of the wiener mobile race, the slaw dog, which you can purchase. It's a vinegar based coleslaw and chili sauce on top of an Oscar Meyer wiener.

[Josh Arnold]

Yum.

[Christy Lee]

And they have the pit stop dog dog which features the beef Oscar meyer sausage topped with chili and cheese. So you do have some options here in the. In the wiener world.

[Tom Griswold]

And once again, apparently eye contact comedian actor Andy Richter is going to be the. I believe they're referring to him as the commander in beef.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

At the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile races coming up a little bit later, later today. And we just spoke to a couple of the famous. What do they call them? Hot. Hot doggers.

[Christy Lee]

Hot doggers.

[Tom Griswold]

That's kind of a cool gig. They get to do it for a year and drive around.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it would be fun. If you're a young person. Absolutely.

[Willie Griswold]

The gap year. Your wiener year.

[Christy Lee]

Your wiener year. Yeah. Usually that's college.

[Chick McGee]

What'd you do? Well, I walked around Europe. What'd you do? I drove a wiener mobile. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Of cool people.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I mean, I wonder how do they. If you're driving all over the country, do you have to find restaurants that serve hot dogs?

[Christy Lee]

We don't always have to eat a hot dog.

[Willie Griswold]

At least one dog a day, I think should be mandatory for the week.

[Christy Lee]

All right. One dog.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, you can't run into a fast food place and get a hamburger if you're driving the wiener movie.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oscar Meyer would collapse if there was a picture of the.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Wienermobile pilot in Hamburg.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want to see that. The McDonald's drive through was knocked over by a guy driving an 11 foot high wiener.

[Josh Arnold]

You think it was a hate crime or something?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, coming up, we have. I believe we have another guest that will be joining us.

[Chick McGee]

Do you think when they came up with the corn dog, they got the idea from. What is that, Josh? What's the practice sound? So.

[Josh Arnold]

So when you, when you insert something into your urethra, is that what you're referring to?

[Chick McGee]

And men say, hey, we should do this with hot dogs. Right.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it was more the chicken, the egg thing. I think somebody saw the corn dog and went, I can do that to me.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. I was just wondering.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, thanks.

[Chick McGee]

You're welcome. Just, you know me. I just curious.

[Josh Arnold]

Any sounders with us today?

[Chick McGee]

Sliding things into your wee curious mind? Get them together about.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm counting about 12.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we're. We're going to take a short break.

[Tom Griswold]

We're going to come back to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. And at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, there's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, hi.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hello, Chick. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

I want you all to know that Christy Lee just sneezed into her hand and then wiped it on my sleeve.

[Tom Griswold]

I saw that.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jeff Osu, not too contagious. There's Ace Cosby. Willie Griswold is.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll think of what it's commingling with on that sleeve.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick. Hello. Hello, Tom. Oh, hi.

[Sam Schmidt]

Sorry.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

Did I step on Willie's intro? Sorry, Willie. Now, coming up, a special edition of this show on Sunday race day. And Willie, you're gonna be running around the field interviewing folks. Should be very interesting. People come in from all over the world to see the Indianapolis 500. And of course, featuring drivers from all over the world, the favorite, a Spaniard, of course. And we, we spoke with our.

[Christy Lee]

You talking about Alex below?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

What did you think he was?

[Christy Lee]

What do you. What do you mean what I think he was?

[Josh Arnold]

I knew he wasn't one of us, I'll tell you that.

[Willie Griswold]

I thought he was bullish, but turns out he's just on the pole.

[Chick McGee]

All I know is he, he's got to meet with race control before he can do anything else.

[Tom Griswold]

He's very fat. Looking for a. Looking for a great race coming up on Sunday. But once again, you'll be able to listen to a special edition of this show if you go to Our website and also on. On YouTube. That's what's happening now. We have another guest. It's my understanding that'll be joining us. Joining us shortly. But right now we can go back to the news desk. Christy, you've got some news over there.

[Christy Lee]

Authorities in New York state say a man who drove to pick up his friend that had been arrested for a deed DWI was also drunk. Oh. How many times have we heard this story? The Montgomery County Sheriff's office reports 25 year old Anton Galona had driven into a restricted area rather than using the public parking area. A deputy suspected he was drunk, administered a field sobriety test leading to the man's own arrest for a dwi. Further investigation revealed the man's new New York state driver's license had been revoked due to a prior DWI conviction.

[Chick McGee]

He.

[Christy Lee]

That of course resulted in additional charges.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, it's sad when you don't know anyone that's sober enough to come pick you up.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Willie Griswold]

This guy's a. But he's also a really good friend. Yeah, he should have known better, but he's just trying to help his buddy out. I'm not. Don't condone it. But my goodness, wouldn't you. I had better friends. Friends like this.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you be smart enough to at least park in the public lot when you get to the police station?

[Christy Lee]

But apparently not. Yeah, we're gonna move things around here. We have a guest coming. But real quick. Authorities corralled a kangaroo on the loose in Texas. Initially, police department warned residents it had received reports of a kangaroo in the area.

[Chick McGee]

How did a kangaroo. How did kangaroo get to Texas?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, probably the same way those hippos got to Colombia.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe so. Yeah. Okay.

[Christy Lee]

The department later said the marsupial had been safely located and taken into custody. Police did not reveal where the kangaroo had come from. Kangaroos, by the way, are legal to keep as pets in Texas without any special permits required.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

And they.

[Chick McGee]

But they just can't carry a gun. That's right.

[Christy Lee]

No, they cannot carry a gunship. You're absolutely right about that.

[Tom Griswold]

And I think this is the same kangaroo that was a few weeks ago.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it is the same one.

[Josh Arnold]

Back out.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I. I think maybe. I don't know. I'm not. I don't know much about kangaroos, but higher fence maybe.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that might.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, they can.

[Chick McGee]

They can leap 80ft straight up. Really?

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't, I was, I was not aware of. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Could you do one of the invisible fences with the put a collar around its neck that gives it a little zap.

[Tom Griswold]

I really.

[Christy Lee]

That's a great question.

[Tom Griswold]

I doubt it, but a surly event.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

You'd have to go out there and

[Josh Arnold]

train it and put the flags on the yard, pop your kangaroo around each flag.

[Tom Griswold]

It would be really cool if it did work. Then you could have a kangaroo in like a suburban yard. People would be driving by. Don't worry, he can't get out.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Just hops up to the road to get pet.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that'd be great. And they also can box.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, all kangaroos can now naturally box when they're attacked. When the kangaroos fight each other.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's amazing. Have you seen where they'll take a dog and try to drown it?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, Kangaroo grab your dog and, like, take it out into the water and try to drown it.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they're vicious.

[Chick McGee]

There's got to be something else we can talk about.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I appreciate you stalling with the cane.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never heard Attenborough talk about that. One of the shows. Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Poor Georgie. Cocker spaniel has been. What the hell?

[Christy Lee]

We do have a guest joining us, former driver Sam Schmidt. Do you have a favorite? Are you a kangaroo fan? A favorite animal?

[Sam Schmidt]

Oh, God. Bear.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, that's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Bears. Yes, we have bears in the news. We always have. We always have bear news. Sam, we're not going to do the bear moves story.

[Christy Lee]

Ding dong ditch. Yeah, there were bears that actually walked up to somebody's camera and hit the doorbell.

[Tom Griswold]

The doorbell then took off.

[Christy Lee]

Did the ding. Yeah, took it.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll get to that later. Sam, it's great seeing you, sir. And I know Sam's got a new book out called no Finish Line. And Sam has an amazing story. It's about your journey after you were severely injured in Orlando many, many years ago. And 26 years.

[Sam Schmidt]

It's been that many years.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you are quadriplegic and yet you have had an incredibly productive life in the last 26 years. Can you tell us a little bit about you in the book?

[Sam Schmidt]

Well, I've been wanting to do it for a while, but didn't really have the time until we, you know, sold the team and focused on it in 2025. But really it is, you know, the whole story from start to finish. Started racing five years old, but since the accident, a lot of it is just to thank the village of people that has helped us to get here. It's overnight I lost the ability to do anything for Myself, so my personal team, the race team, the foundation team, you know, couldn't do any of it without all of them. So that book is really a thank you to all of them.

[Christy Lee]

Neuro Hope, it's your foundation and you've done some amazing work with it, including a beautiful recovery center facility that's like 100,000 square feet of just a remarkable place for, for folks to get better.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, it's kind of ironic. Full circle. I. I worked out of the five seasons at Carmel as a driver. 97, 98, 99. And then it was vacant for about seven years. And we had the opportunity to acquire it about three years ago, gutted it, built the driven NeuroRecovery center powered by NeuroHope. Because NeuroHope was an organization that's already been active in Indianapolis for 10 years. So we brought them into the building and now we're bringing other foundations like ICANN into the building and eventually Adaptive Sports. So there will be nothing like in the US when it's done and really happy to bring something back to Indianapolis after it supported us all these years with our gala and everything. So all the money going back to the town.

[Christy Lee]

Tom, I don't know if you know this, but the car that you drove with Vision and it was sold at Mecum just a couple weeks ago, is that correct?

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, one week. Tokyo today. Yeah. So Arrow Electronics.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Sam Schmidt]

Designed the car in 2013. We drove for the first time here. 107 miles an hour in 2014 on quality and. And they donated back to the foundation, so sold out of Mecham last Friday and got a lot of attention and it's gonna ultimately wind up in the Museum of Bottom of Speed and Lake in Nebraska.

[Christy Lee]

What was that feeling like going over, over 100 miles an hour just with the control of your head and your. And your, and your voice and your eyes? I just can't imagine.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, I mean, it was surreal at the time and really, you know, took me back to some great memories at this place. But also it was kind of a feeling of normalcy and then I could control something. You know, I was in control of the gas and the brake and the steering feel the first time in a long time.

[Tom Griswold]

Can explain, can you explain, explain how you did that?

[Sam Schmidt]

I accelerated the technology so much.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy, have him explain how we did it.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, I mean, I didn't do it. Arrow did it. But it uses infrared cameras inside the car looking back at me to track my head left and right. And at the time we had a blow sensor to, to, to use the gas and the brake, it's elevated so much over the last 12 years to where we drive. We now drive a McLaren 720s and we've been over 200 miles an hour.

[Chick McGee]

Whoa.

[Sam Schmidt]

What incredible technology.

[Christy Lee]

That is incredible, man. I want a McLaren.

[Sam Schmidt]

It's also an initiative to get. To trade that technology for industrial purposes to get disabled veterans and others back to work.

[Christy Lee]

That's great.

[Sam Schmidt]

It's amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

We're speaking with Sam. We're speaking with Sam Schmidt. He is the author of no Finish Line about his amazing journey after he was in a horrific accident in Orlando 26 years ago and is quadriplegic. And yet he was able to drive a car apparently 200 miles an hour steering with a. What did you call, Call it a blow pipe or something and.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, well, now it's a sip and puff where I blow into the straw to go and then I. I suck it to. To stop it. And it's completely intuitive and amazing technology.

[Christy Lee]

I know we're talking racing, we're out at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about your sweater.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, baby.

[Tom Griswold]

They're playing.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, Playing tonight. They won one two nights again go at Colorado. So hopefully keep the stre going. I get back home, I can go to the Stanley cup game.

[Christy Lee]

There you go. Josh is a big hockey fan as well.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And Sam's a Vegas Knights fan.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Sam Schmidt]

Had a few Colorado friends jabbing me on my way over here.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Got a little chiby.

[Tom Griswold]

Ask Sam. I don't know if he can hear me. Ask Sam.

[Christy Lee]

He can hear you.

[Tom Griswold]

Sam, have you been to the Sphere and Vegas? I know you're from there.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah, absolutely. I saw you two there and, and saw the Eels and it's an amazing facility.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I can't wait. I'm going to see the Eagles in November. I'm very excited about that. Yeah.

[Sam Schmidt]

A never ending last show.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I do think this is it. I believe the Eagles have said that this is going to be the last one ever. They're how many? They're doing five or six of them. Christie. In the fall.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I think philosophy is November 27th. Chicken. Back me up on that. I think it's right after Thanksgiving and that's right. Yeah. So. Well, that's what they're saying now. I don't know.

[Sam Schmidt]

I think I went to one of their weekend shows in April. It was supposed to be the last weekend.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Sam Schmidt]

And like share.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, exactly. That's how they keep getting our Money, isn't it? But it's pretty. Have you seen the wizard of Oz there?

[Sam Schmidt]

I have. I took our whole family Christmas holiday is. And it was amazing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, it's pretty incredible. Yeah. Did you catch an apple?

[Sam Schmidt]

I didn't. I was, My seats really weren't family.

[Willie Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

That's awesome. Sam Schmidt.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, go ahead, Christy, explain the Catch an apple.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. During the wizard of Oz, there are apples that come down. There are leaves that fall during the tornado. There are monkeys that fly around during one of the scenes, of course, of the flying monkeys.

[Tom Griswold]

Are these actual apples?

[Christy Lee]

They're Styrofoam.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I was gonna say.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. They're throwing apples on your head, just like those.

[Tom Griswold]

I was gonna say, I mean, Sam, can't bat it away, for God's sake.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Just terrifying. No, it's, they do a wonderful job.

[Tom Griswold]

I gotta get an apple in the head. It's a fair question, I think.

[Christy Lee]

Sam, where do you, what do you, where do you watch the race for,

[Sam Schmidt]

you know, 24 years? Years. I watch it in pit lane, so kind of searching around, trying to think where I'm going to watch it this year.

[Christy Lee]

But I think we could probably get you a seat somewhere. I think they're probably. Yeah. So is it really different now that you're not a car owner?

[Sam Schmidt]

It is. You know, I, we were easing out of it kind of 23, 24, but now that we're not a part of the team, you know, from an equity standpoint, I don't know, I, I, I just thought it'd be different. But it's, it's, it's still emotional. I still want to see any one of the cards win, obviously, but in particular, Pato, with all those second place finishes. Camillo, so close. I mean, the kid, the kid really deserves it, you know.

[Christy Lee]

Well, plus he drives a McLaren just like you.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's great. Sam Schmidt, our guest here at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during carb day.

[Tom Griswold]

Thanks, Tristy. We're going to take a short break. Break. Before we do, I gotta remind you that I was looking over some charts and as I've mentioned a couple times, your home may be worth a lot more than it was when you bought it. Five year old house, Right? Now, if you've been there for five years, your home is probably worth about 40 to 50% more than it was when you bought it. Go back 10 years, it may have actually doubled or more. Why is this interesting? Well, you can take advantage of that increase in equity not by selling your house, but by refinancing. It.

[Christy Lee]

Man, it's crazy out here. I apologize.

[Chick McGee]

Wow, sounds amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

There.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

I apologize for nothing. It's a party.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jeff Oskar. There's Willie Griswold at the track. Dude. Here's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. How are you, sir?

[Tom Griswold]

Doing great. Thank you very much. Now once again, special edition of this show coming your way Sunday morning. It'll be available on the Internet, Internet on YouTube, etc.

[Chick McGee]

Now is that on my computer?

[Tom Griswold]

Now I understand they're putting the Internet on computers which is going to be very, very handy.

[Chick McGee]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

It will be in honor of the 110th running of the Indianapolis 500.

[Chick McGee]

I've attended them all.

[Tom Griswold]

If you can't be there, if you can't be One of the 300,000 plus people there, you can watch it on Fox television. And of course it'll be on the special Special radio network. Those guys do a terrific job. And there are some folks that just have for years and years and years listened to it on the radio. It's kind of, kind of magic.

[Josh Arnold]

It's amazing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's always been the way we grew up. You would listen to it on the radio and that's when we planted our flowers for the summer. Yes. Out in the garden.

[Willie Griswold]

I listen in the infield on my big headset and I drink beer with my friends. It's much different, but it's a cool vibe.

[Christy Lee]

Well, this was back when I wasn't allowed to go to the speedway yet. Ah, yeah, yeah. That was a different time.

[Tom Griswold]

We, we have a number of semi famous songs that we have done about

[Chick McGee]

last time I was at Speedway, a naked game of touch football broke out in the snake pit. True story. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

All guys back in the.

[Christy Lee]

Back in the first turn.

[Chick McGee]

Yep. Back when the. It had the original snake pit. And mostly men, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Chick. I've seen all kinds of things back in the day.

[Chick McGee]

I think that's my first term.

[Christy Lee]

Grab action populating people there.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

Underneath a van. Can you imagine? You were under a van.

[Chick McGee]

Who's to say where the love bug's gonna bite? Am I right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Who knew there are two people copulating under this table right now.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. It's May in Indianapolis.

[Josh Arnold]

Looking good. I thought you

[Tom Griswold]

thought you were supposed to do it on top of the van.

[Christy Lee]

No, they did that too. Because believe me, there were famous signs and yes, we've all been. We all remember those days, don't we? That we grew up here and. Oh yeah, well, the famous are all shaking their heads.

[Tom Griswold]

The famous song goes. Sitting on my van at the truck track. Oh, banging my baby on the luggage rack.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Right, right. What?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, say that again, dad. It looks like. It looks like a William Shatner delivery. Sitting on my van at the track Banging my baby on the luggage rack.

[Chick McGee]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Now that reminds me of a news story here about going to the moon. As, you know, getting closer and closer. NASA just did an amazing orbit around the moon.

[Willie Griswold]

First time for everything real this time.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. Scientists, this is kind of a cool announcement. Scientists a couple days ago announced they think they found a more fuel efficient route to get to the moon.

[Chick McGee]

That's not right.

[Josh Arnold]

Aren't they going.

[Christy Lee]

Just go through the sun.

[Josh Arnold]

Straight line this time.

[Chick McGee]

I'm waiting for that stone. Didn't they talk about. About one time making an elevator to the moon or did I dream that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they were talking about that. I wouldn't count on that one.

[Chick McGee]

Like some special Mylar.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Apparently this involves a path that is based on so called gravity propulsion.

[Ari Lyon Dyke]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a complicated formula but it involves I guess taking advantage of the. The mass of.

[Chick McGee]

I think it kind of. It involves a sail or something. Something. A cosmic sail or something much like, you know. You know, Tom, you're quite the accomplished sailor, sailor.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I'm not sure what it involves.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But it's kind of cool. I know that fuel consumption is of course a huge concern at a speedway because there's. It wasn't too long ago that someone won that race with no. No fuel at all at the end. Just coasting across cross the finish line. Fuel, fuel management. A key to a race like the Indianapolis 500. And apparently this is the same thing with respect to going to Mars and in this case going to the moon. Pat, you've got your guitar out. What's going on here? I'm going to bring my friend in for this. Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Sinatra is here.

[Christy Lee]

Frank.

[Chick McGee]

Chairman.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice to see you, blue eyes.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Josh. You're looking fine today. Looking better. Christy Lee. Oh, looking beautiful today.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you're lovely bird.

[Chick McGee]

Hey Frank, make yourself at home. Hit somebody.

[Tom Griswold]

Talk to Vinnie Boom bots and get him on.

[Chick McGee]

Christy, I want you to fly me to the moon. Let me save a couple bucks.

[Tom Griswold]

Take me on a better route where gravity me don't suck. To other worlds you and me.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, to the moon and back.

[Tom Griswold]

Gravity's free.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you can't fill my tank with fuel. We're leaving here today.

[Tom Griswold]

Take me on a quicker path. Not the jammed up Milky Way.

[Chick McGee]

Get me there easily. Oh, and don't forget Baba da boo boo boo. Gravity's free.

[Tom Griswold]

See you cats later. Chick, start the car.

[Chick McGee]

I never thought about that.

[Tom Griswold]

That's almost a concept. Gravity is free.

[Christy Lee]

Of course it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought we would do a little. A little bit of delayed today in history. Is that okay?

[Chick McGee]

Deuces. May 22.

[Tom Griswold]

May 22 and significant day it was since you were talking about going to the moon. This is a significant day in the history of flight. I'm sure you're all aware of that. It was on this day in 1906, the race Wright brothers were granted. Granted Their patent for what they called a flying machine.

[Christy Lee]

Huh.

[Chick McGee]

It sucked.

[Willie Griswold]

There was no TVs behind the seats. You couldn't do anything on it.

[Tom Griswold]

It was such a boring. But will, you would have liked it though, because the early planes did have ashtrays.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, that's nice. That's nice. Weren't they also made of wood?

[Tom Griswold]

Shouldn't you with that.

[Josh Arnold]

And, and you had to shell your own peanuts.

[Chick McGee]

Is there any. That's so silly.

[Josh Arnold]

They would only give you half. Half a can of sarsaparilla of Dr. Johnson's cocaine drink.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. You try and fly on that with

[Tom Griswold]

real cocaine, by the way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, right.

[Tom Griswold]

Recommended by doctors.

[Willie Griswold]

Dr. Johnson's cocaine drink.

[Tom Griswold]

But it really was now featuring morphe. It was patented as. It was patented as a flying machine. They didn't have the word airplane. Oh, kind of.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't there a song, though? They go up and they go down, down, down.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Flying machine. Hey, shut up. It's a song.

[Josh Arnold]

It's, it's like those, those magnificent men.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That was a movie. Even as a kid I thought, this is gonna suck.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Sam Schmidt]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. Oh, here's an odd one. On this date in 1954, Bob Dylan villain was bar mitzvahed.

[Sam Schmidt]

Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

And I guess I heard he got booed when he took an electric microphone up there to.

[Sam Schmidt]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Recite the Torah instead of the old folk microphone. Yeah. But he did wear one of those harmonica holders. And he'd read a little bit in Hebrew then, Then blow a little harp for you. Let's see now. Oh, this is interesting. In 1973, Dick Nixon confessed to his role in the Watergate cover up.

[Chick McGee]

If I am a crook, I. And I am.

[Tom Griswold]

Turns out I am a crook. Is that your best impression or is that your just your Jimmy Stewart?

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't have a best impression.

[Willie Griswold]

I'm a golf ball going in the hole.

[Chick McGee]

Traveling goofball. You know that, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

You're probably. Do you remember the speech Dixon gave when he resigned?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, I, I, I, I know. I've seen clips of it and stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I'll admit it was me.

[Chick McGee]

Me.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids with Scooby Doo.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, man, Jenkins.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see. Oh, here's a good birthday. Arthur Conan Doyle.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he didn't do anything.

[Josh Arnold]

Invented better the playing cards.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, of course. The creator of a Sherlock Holmes. Did you ever see the John C. Holmes knockoffs on that?

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

It sounds, it rhymes with Lock.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The Mounds of Baskerville, A Study in Pink. These were classics. That is silly. Happy birthday. Oh, he's gone. That's good. Ted Kaczynski.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh yeah, that is good.

[Chick McGee]

Why is it good? He just had some ideas, got a little goofy.

[Josh Arnold]

That was brilliant.

[Tom Griswold]

Ted Kaczynski was considered to be a, the IQ of a genius. But of course I wouldn't even open an email from that guy. That's how good he was. That's how good he think he had forever stamps. You know, some say he may have been a closeted homosexual. And they, they call him the Unabomber. The Unabom.

[Willie Griswold]

Oh, you messed up.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, whatever Unabomber is.

[Chick McGee]

I, I. Yeah, I don't know which I like better.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be more of.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you're making some sort of.

[Willie Griswold]

Just stop.

[Josh Arnold]

Just let it.

[Tom Griswold]

We're good. We got it.

[Chick McGee]

We all got it.

[Tom Griswold]

We don't gotta point that one with a Al Jolson thing or something. No.

[Josh Arnold]

If you could see the faces of the people in front of us.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. You know, Unibottom. Yes. You see, Gay gentleman. I was always pissed that he had such great hair.

[Chick McGee]

I know you were.

[Josh Arnold]

It was unfair.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's just not right. On this date in 92, Johnny Carson made his final appearance on the Tonight Show.

[Chick McGee]

I'm, I'm, I'm out of here.

[Tom Griswold]

And of course interesting enough if you watch Carson, he had a guest host

[Chick McGee]

saying goodbye for him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was just, it was done. He was, he was finished. And I think that pretty much covers all this. Oh, wait a minute. Who's Naomi Campbell? Is that a. Is that a fashion model?

[Christy Lee]

It's a model, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Happy birthday.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, here's a picture. Boy, she looks pissed.

[Chick McGee]

She always.

[Tom Griswold]

Why are these, why are these models all so angry?

[Christy Lee]

Angry?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Maybe that's why they're all so angry.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can't have a hot dog. Well, thanks to the.

[Christy Lee]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. My husband's birthday is tomorrow and since we won't be here, I want to say Happy birthday, Andy. Happy birthday happens to be our wedding anniversary too. But we won't talk about that.

[Chick McGee]

Happy birthday.
