Chick McGee
It's the Bob and Tom Show.
Tom Griswold
We're joined by the legendary Joe Walsh on the phone. Joe, good morning, sir.
Joe Walsh
Good morning. How are you?
Tom Griswold
We're great.
Chick McGee
And you?
Joe Walsh
Wait a minute. Is Bob there?
Chick McGee
I'm here.
Tom Griswold
Right here, Joe.
Joe Walsh
Because last time I called, you were so impressed. You went vacation.
Tom Griswold
Joe, what if you were to get in your car right now? What kind of. What are you listening to?
Joe Walsh
Oh, geez. I don't really. I just turn on the radio and whatever I hear is what it is. A lot of old stuff. I'm going through a lot of old stuff, classic rock stuff. And that's kind of a big wasteland out there. I don't hear a whole lot that. That I can make it all the way to the end of the song.
Tom Griswold
There's some good stuff out there, Joe. I read a funny thing about the Rolling Stones. When they were setting up their tour. They had to have one of the roadies in the back with a stack of their albums, and they'd come upon a song title and they'd had to kind of relearn it.
Joe Walsh
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
When you guys are with the Eagles, did you have to sit down and go, that was a great song, but how did we do it then?
Joe Walsh
Yeah, exactly. I didn't even know we. You know, just because you wrote it don't mean you can play it.
Christy Lee
That's true.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Joe Walsh
I find that a lot.
Announcer
Yeah.
Joe Walsh
We dusted off James Dean and it.
Chick McGee
Oh, that's a great song. I love that song.
Joe Walsh
Yeah, that's a good one. It rocks pretty good. But that was pre Joe, so I had to go learn Bernie Leddon's parts.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Joe Walsh
And, boy, I see why they replaced him.
Tom Griswold
That's not nice.
Joe Walsh
No, that isn't very. Not very nice.
Chick McGee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Do you have any of your old, old, old guitars? Your first ones that are.
Joe Walsh
You know, I don't have very many. I think I've got a Les Paul that I started out with. I sure wish I did. I've gone back and got. Bought some equipment like I used to have.
Tom Griswold
Did it get stolen on the road or just lost or.
Joe Walsh
Oh, just lost in the wayside? You know, I don't remember a whole. There's a couple years there that are. That are just a mystery to me.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Joe Walsh
I was talking to Ozzy about two weeks ago, and, you know, James King and his band, we played a whole bunch of gigs and neither of us remember anything.
Tom Griswold
Cool.
Chick McGee
Those were the days. Wow.
Joe Walsh
Now we played together because we have the post.
Josh Arnold
I know we did.
Tom Griswold
That's the light of the year.
Chick McGee
I know we did.
Tom Griswold
We had.
Chick McGee
They printed posters. Ah, posters. Hello. From the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. It's. It's the Bob and Tom Show. There's Christy Lee at the news desk. There's Pat Godwin, guitar in hand.
Christy Lee
Go.
Pat Godwin
Hello, Chick.
Christy Lee
Hey.
Chick McGee
Hey, there's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Whatever.
Chick McGee
Nice.
Josh Arnold
I just heard a song from the 90s and I forgot.
Tom Griswold
I love this.
Chick McGee
Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Tom Griswold. A flurry of activity here. He is now at the Tom Griswold desk.
Tom Griswold
Hello. Testing.
Chick McGee
There we go.
Josh Arnold
Okay, Tom, is this your United States of Whatever? Did you guys ever hear that song?
Pat Godwin
Yeah, I love. That was a great song.
Chick McGee
Sounds familiar.
Josh Arnold
Funny.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. I'm not sure who does it.
Josh Arnold
Lynch is his name.
Chick McGee
Residents of the United States.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
I'd have to hear it.
Pat Godwin
You'd think it was funny. It's pretty clever.
Tom Griswold
Now, the.
Chick McGee
That.
Tom Griswold
That was an old interview with Joe Walsh. Featured that for a couple reasons. One, Joe, of course, is now a member of the Eagles. The Eagles are doing only a handful of shows and then they're going to call it a day, if you will. They're going to do some more shows in Las Vegas at the Sphere. Chick Magee will be attending one of them.
Chick McGee
Yes, and Christy Lee will be going.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I bought tickets already.
Chick McGee
Thank goodness. Separately, though.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I have been to the Sphere to see the Eagles. It's a great show, really. And Joe Walsh. They do a bunch of Joe Walsh pre Eagles tunes.
Josh Arnold
Do they call it the Aerie when the Eagles are there?
Chick McGee
Ah, the Eagle's Nest is called A
Josh Arnold
E, R for those who do crosswords.
Chick McGee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
No, they don't. The point is we got a nice letter here.
Chick McGee
You got no idea. Remember yesterday?
Christy Lee
Worse.
Josh Arnold
It's not possible.
Pat Godwin
It can't be worse.
Chick McGee
Well, let me just sit back and let you watch.
Tom Griswold
No, you can opine on airy. Go ahead. What do you got about it?
Josh Arnold
No, no, I already said what I had to say. Yeah, that's not how this. That's not how that.
Tom Griswold
I see now the connection.
Chick McGee
Ooh, burn.
Tom Griswold
There was no burn. The connection here involves Fleetwood Mac from this letter from Dave from Davenport.
Chick McGee
Is Dave just telling us bands he's seen?
Tom Griswold
No.
Josh Arnold
I sure hope so.
Chick McGee
That brings me to 1982.
Tom Griswold
This is well worth listening to. Okay, Fleetwood Max, since I can remember, writes the aforementioned Dave, I went to a concert at the University of Iowa. Joe Walsh opening up for Stevie Nicks on one of Stevie's Solo tours. Stevie took the stage. It was great. And then she ran out of gas. Then I noticed she took a quick trip backstage and she seemed to be bumped up and ready to go. This happened several times during the show and she started to murder the words. Nothing was coming out but blabber. Those of up front started to boo and she said, it doesn't matter. It's just effing Iowa rock and roll at its finest. I thought, thank God for Joe Walsh.
Chick McGee
Boy, I hope that's a true story.
Tom Griswold
Well, I. I have an amendment to this.
Chick McGee
I. I hope so.
Tom Griswold
He goes. I hope he banged her hard that night.
Josh Arnold
Yowza.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Dave. I don't know if Ms. Nix wasn't
Chick McGee
somebody in love with Joe Walsh and he didn't like him or something. Remembering. So it might have been Stevie Nicks.
Tom Griswold
Like, no idea.
Chick McGee
Lovesick over Joe.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
Yeah. But somebody will help me.
Tom Griswold
A friend of mine was backstage at a Stevie show at a now defunct venue. And as I recall, it was an outdoor venue, kind of primitive. There was sort of a changing booth on the stage, if you will, kind of a curtain thing. And there was a Frisbee that had been placed on top of an amplifier with something underneath it that apparently was pepping Ms. Nicks up during the 80s.
Christy Lee
Come on.
Tom Griswold
Whatever. But we had gotten 70s.
Chick McGee
I don't even think it was illegal then. Right.
Christy Lee
Didn't seem like it was frowned upon. That's everywhere.
Tom Griswold
We'd gotten on the topic of Steve Enix yesterday for some reason. And I forget who was in love with her.
Josh Arnold
Oscar and I both. Oh, she's got a sexiness.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Yeah. So it was when I. The show I saw with her was great, so who knows? But that was the request. So that actually leads to another one. Pat, I hope you're prepared for this. I am. We were discussing, for some reason, Mick Jagger's hair and I. Yeah, because you
Christy Lee
thought that he still dies. It.
Chick McGee
You were speculating.
Tom Griswold
I was asking is it a way
Chick McGee
or is it died or is it.
Tom Griswold
He's got nice chestnut brown locks and got this letter. This is from. I'm not sure who. It doesn't say. Just says, I am 73 years old. I don't have a gray hair on my head or body. Some people with a missing gene have delayed onset of losing hair color.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha.
Tom Griswold
Usually people with reddish brown hair.
Christy Lee
My husband has very little if any gray too.
Chick McGee
And he's even his pubic region.
Pat Godwin
Answer the question.
Chick McGee
I'm just asking.
Christy Lee
I haven't inspected it that close.
Chick McGee
Maybe that's maybe for your.
Tom Griswold
Now we know why the first three marriages failed.
Chick McGee
Hey, Chrissy, you gotta get down in there. Okay.
Tom Griswold
I would, I think. Is it.
Christy Lee
He's got reddish brown hair, but the.
Tom Griswold
The pubic regions the last to go. That's my experience.
Chick McGee
I think the rule of thumb is there are no. No rules of thumb.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I mean, are you telling me that would be possible then, to have white pubes and black hair with.
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Sure. Really? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Well, that'd be interesting.
Chick McGee
Anything's possible.
Tom Griswold
That'd be weird. That'd be very.
Chick McGee
I understand. If you see a real ghost, your hair on your head will immediately turn gray.
Josh Arnold
There are.
Chick McGee
There are.
Josh Arnold
There is our documented cases. People's hairs turning white. Hair turning white from being so terrified.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Or just not dyeing it anymore. So the point is, I don't know.
Josh Arnold
But Pat.
Tom Griswold
Now, Pat, you have pointed out that you were a longtime beard dyer. Hair dyer.
Pat Godwin
Goatee dyer.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, and hair dyer. Come on.
Pat Godwin
A little bit of the chest.
Christy Lee
Oh. Oh, wow.
Pat Godwin
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
But now you've let it go. You look great. I think your hair looks much better.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Now that it's. It's natural, kind of grayish, whitish.
Pat Godwin
I don't die anymore, except on stage.
Chick McGee
What you're hearing is Tom desperately trying to give a compliment. He has trouble with this. But you, you stand. Hang in there, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Now, and I forget, in your forthcoming comedy special, your drive, our special, which comes out in a couple of days.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Pat Godwin
Next week.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, next week. Okay, good. Are you. I forget, are you a brown haired Pat or.
Chick McGee
No, I'm white.
Pat Godwin
Ha.
Tom Griswold
White haired bat.
Pat Godwin
Little chunky white haired guy.
Tom Griswold
Okay, chunky guy. Okay. But you've since lost a great deal of weight. You look great.
Pat Godwin
£93.
Josh Arnold
I love.
Tom Griswold
Yes, 93.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Pat Godwin
Skin like a turtle.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Now apparently you have a song about the transformation of the hair.
Pat Godwin
I don't die anymore. But I used to die, in fact, I died everywhere, man. I colored all my hair, man. Just for men down there, man. I died everywhere. Head hair, chest hair, arm hair, leg hair, ear hair, nose hair, lip hair, chin hair, neck hair, back hair, belly hair, brow hair. That hair above my ass crack, I swear toe hair, shin hair, cheek hair baller. I died everywhere. Yeah, I died everywhere, man. And I don't have hair to spare, man. It was black as coal down there, man. Now my pubes are all gray hairs, man. I'm as wide as a polar bear, Tom. I died everywhere.
Chick McGee
All right, let me ask you this.
Pat Godwin
Yes, sir.
Chick McGee
Do polar bears when they age. Go black hair.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
Right. Up is down.
Josh Arnold
That's where black bears come from.
Christy Lee
Right?
Josh Arnold
They're just retired polar bears. That's why they went south.
Chick McGee
Isn't that it? Yeah, I'm going south. I've had it with this cold.
Josh Arnold
I'm going to Gainsburg.
Tom Griswold
Have any of your dogs ever gone white?
Chick McGee
Oh, gosh.
Christy Lee
Mine's going white now.
Josh Arnold
I like what their chins do.
Chick McGee
Mrs. White Face Down. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Something sweet about golden retriever or what are you, like a beagle? And they're going all white.
Christy Lee
Golden noodles do it too.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they look so sweet. They're wise.
Chick McGee
She's going to be 13 years old and not a tick smarter than she was when she was a puppy.
Tom Griswold
Really?
Chick McGee
What the hell's going on? Y. That's part of the beauty of my little love.
Tom Griswold
They reaches. They reach a certain level. They've got. They've got you completely conned. They're now running your life. And this is fine. I'll just pretend I'm stupid. I'm just.
Chick McGee
Hang here for the treat train.
Tom Griswold
Okay. If you want to reach us with your requests, letters, etc. Etc. It's easy. We're bob and tom@bobandtom.com.
Christy Lee
i really want to thank that guy because I've always wondered why Andy's hair isn't gray.
Tom Griswold
Well. And you. I told. Talking about my one. My one aunt never had a gray hair. Live to be 90. Not one. But that's not true of anyone else in our family, so it's. Maybe it's some. It's obvious he was adopted.
Christy Lee
You don't know.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Who knows? But, yeah, I'd like to. I'll have to do more research on that. I'm just curious about Jagger. Doesn't matter. He looks great, sings great. Happy to have him.
Christy Lee
Have all of our old rock stars gone gray or. I mean, no, they're still.
Tom Griswold
Keith Richards doesn't diet, but Woody does. Ronnie Wood.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Richard Marks has got a crazy thing going.
Tom Griswold
Yes, he does.
Chick McGee
It looks like he's been rebuilt a little bit. Yeah. Get a look at Richard Marx?
Christy Lee
No, I haven't seen him lately.
Chick McGee
His face is almost too tight.
Tom Griswold
You know, just like his dad, Groucho.
Chick McGee
Yes. I told the kid, I said, don't you dare start singing.
Tom Griswold
Well, Christy, how'd you get here?
Christy Lee
I got here in my reliable Tucson Hybrid, 37 miles to the gallon. I just saw the thing today, and I'm like, thank you, thank you, thank you. And not only do you get great gas mileage, but the Hybrids from Hyundai come with America's best warranty and also the latest in technology and they're very safe. If you need something a little stylish but yet bigger and capable to go off roading, you might want to check out the Santa Fe hybrid. Tad bit bigger than the Tucson, sits a little higher and it can go off roading with the best of them. That's the hybrids from Hyundai. You get the best of both worlds by visiting Hyundai USA.com or call 562-314-4603 for more details. And of course, you can always visit the good friends, my good friends at the Hyundai dealers all over the nation.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much, Hyundai. Coming up, we're going to watch out with Kenny Wayne shepherd, the great guitarist. Also, it'll be Sexy time with Ali Breen. Got some great letters this morning. I'm very excited about today's mailbag. Once again, you can reach us Bob and tom@bobandtom.com and one more reminder, the pop up store has popped back up. We came out with a shirt, I don't know what, a month or so ago, whatever it was. And we only opened the store for about a week and sold out of that one of the shirts. People just really seemed to like it so we brought it back. It's available if you go to the Bob and Tom website. Bob and Tom.com we're going to return to these beautiful studios, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Pat Godwin
Hey, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey, Pat. There is Josh Arnold.
Tom Griswold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
I am Chick. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick McGee. We got a nice letter here that mentions you.
Chick McGee
All right, sir.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom Show. First off, on the subject of Tom not remembering common words and having to make a word up on the spot, I had one of those moments the other day. I couldn't think of the word calzone. A fine Italian dish, delightfully delicious. I said to my brother, hey, do you remember the name of that Italian restaurant near your house? The one where we had the Italian omelets?
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
To which he said, that's a calzone. That restaurant's been closed for two years. Anyway, have a good day. And then our letter writer, Eric with a K, writes, always have a good day and much love to my guy, Chick McGee.
Christy Lee
Hey.
Tom Griswold
I would say he's man pretty, but I don't want it going to his head.
Chick McGee
Man pretty.
Tom Griswold
That is a nice phrase. Familiar with that?
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Do you like being called man pretty?
Chick McGee
Had never.
Tom Griswold
Handsome circle.
Chick McGee
Never heard of that.
Tom Griswold
Well, Eric thinks you're a man.
Chick McGee
I'll take it.
Tom Griswold
Okay. Very good. What do you got over there?
Chick McGee
Dear Bob and Tom show. This past weekend, I was given the realization that I am, yes, slowly turning into Tom. My daughter and wife were talking about Germany, and I said, you have to be careful in Germany. You can't order any amount more than eight. My wife asked, why is that? I replied, because when you ask for more than eight, they say nine. After a moment of silence, I started to explain how the number nine and the German word for no sound the same. And that made a fine joke dealing in wordplay. My wife strongly disagreed, and I ended with, well, I guess you have lost the remainder of your sense of humor. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to buy some black underwear and white linen pants. Oh, all right. Pray for me. That is rich. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Tom Griswold
Rich. Yes, I see. There you go, Christie Lee. What do you got over?
Christy Lee
I don't have anything.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I thought you had part of our mailbag.
Chick McGee
All right, sir.
Tom Griswold
Am I the only one?
Chick McGee
I've got? Dear Bob and Tom, show one more. My daughter walked in the house yesterday wearing a Paddington sweatshirt. I rolled my eyes and said, tom would love that. She said, who's Tom? And I said, tom from Bob and Tom. She said, tom sounds like a cool guy. And I started laughing really hard. That's Nate in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
Tom Griswold
Thank you. Now, yesterday also, we had a license plate issued. You remember this? Do you remember what it said?
Christy Lee
Yeah, it was TRD lvr. And we found out that TRD stands for Toyota something.
Tom Griswold
It's. It's a version of the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Christy Lee
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
But when one read the vanity plate, the mind thinks turd lover.
Christy Lee
Sure, of course it does.
Tom Griswold
You say t. It was TRD Space lvr. And the Eric. Another Eric is kind enough to write. Yeah, there is a Toyota Land Cruiser. The TRD Pro.
Christy Lee
Right.
Tom Griswold
So I think if. Maybe if. Contextually, if. If that were on one of those
Christy Lee
Land Cruiser, it would make sense. Yes.
Tom Griswold
Again, vanity plates, very tricky business.
Chick McGee
Maybe you need some tlc. The Toyota Land Cruiser. You know what? Toyota can have that. Do you just take that.
Tom Griswold
You're like. And let them use that.
Chick McGee
You go right ahead.
Tom Griswold
Certainly a very fine vehicle.
Chick McGee
Tlc. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And also yesterday, we touched on a topic. I for. I think Josh brought this up, and I found the source on it. And this was the subject of casting and how.
Chick McGee
Like fish casting or.
Tom Griswold
No, no, movie casting. Okay. And that there have been an inordinate number of actors named Chris in movies and more talking animals than women of a certain age and lead role. So I actually wanted to read more about it. So I dug it up. And Christy, I gave it to you. You got it over there.
Christy Lee
New research shows a movie is more likely to star an actor named Chris or a talking animal rather than a female lead over the age of 60. Great way to start the show. The Aging Better Organization conducted an analysis on ageism in the film industry, found just five of the 100 highest grossing movies of the past three years starred a woman over 60 as the lead character. By contrast, six films featured a Chris as the lead actor, half of which were, of course, Chris Pratt. He was in Super Mario Brothers movie Guardians of the Galaxy three Garfield films are also four times more likely to have a talking animal as the lead character than a female actor over the age of 60. Do they count animals that are cartoons?
Josh Arnold
Apparently.
Tom Griswold
I mean, I'd go see The Devil Wears Prada 3 if there were a talking dog in it. They got to be vastly more Interesting.
Josh Arnold
Advising people on fashion.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Enjoy. Devil Wells product.
Tom Griswold
I think part of that.
Christy Lee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Part of that is.
Chick McGee
Did you.
Tom Griswold
I think that a lot of movies are made for kids.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Ergo, the talking animals. I love talking animal movies. I can't wait to see. To see the talking toys in Toy Story 5. I did. I heard a preview of it the other day.
Chick McGee
Are there new toys for number five?
Tom Griswold
I don't. Well, the. I know what the theme of. I know what the plot is, kind of.
Christy Lee
What's the plot?
Tom Griswold
Well, it involves.
Christy Lee
Because Andy's gone to college, so we don't have that anymore. And.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it involves screens versus toys. In other words, I assume it's an iPad type thing versus the other. The real toys.
Christy Lee
Does Andy have kids of his own now?
Tom Griswold
I don't know anything else about it,
Christy Lee
but that'd be cool.
Tom Griswold
It's. It's Tim Allen and Tom Hanks, et cetera, et cetera. And then in Toy Story 5, and it's. It's coming out just around the corner. Speaking of just around the corner, Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
I forgot.
Tom Griswold
You're gonna be in. You're being Kalamazoo at Shakespeare's this Saturday night. This Saturday night? Yeah, for a special live show.
Pat Godwin
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
See, Pat. Pat's gonna be having a little surgery after that. So this is gonna be your last live show for a few weeks. For more and more. Month. A couple of months. So.
Christy Lee
Oh, come on.
Tom Griswold
By all means, Kalamazoo, Michigan, awaits.
Chick McGee
Now, you know, at Shakespeare's, don't they have little ham and cheese sliders? They call those hamlets.
Josh Arnold
I do. And they're delicious.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yes, that's right. They cook them in a.
Tom Griswold
If they don't.
Chick McGee
More hamlets.
Tom Griswold
If they don't.
Christy Lee
That's a great idea.
Tom Griswold
There has to be. Is that.
Chick McGee
And the side of Macbeth and cheese.
Christy Lee
Oh, yes.
Josh Arnold
Boy, that's funny. I mean, they may as well do that.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Gonna do Hamlet. You gotta do Macbeth and cheese.
Tom Griswold
Oh, we could do.
Chick McGee
Because who gives up in the winter,
Josh Arnold
they've got the taming of the stew. That is just wonderful.
Tom Griswold
Sit back and watch this.
Josh Arnold
The Romeo and Julianne fries are.
Chick McGee
Yeah, sir. Ah, delish.
Tom Griswold
Do you like the themed restaurants that have the clever.
Chick McGee
You do not. I like the theme restaurant where the theme is great service and good food or any combination.
Christy Lee
And easy parking.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
I get a kick out of it.
Chick McGee
I had. I had dinner last night and I. I ordered my entree and then I said, oh, hang on, I'd like some fried pickles, which is a Big appetizer now, right? You deep fry a pickle and. And the lady goes, oh, I've already put your. I can't do that. I've already. I've already put your main. Your. Your main dish in. I can't. I can't go back.
Christy Lee
What?
Chick McGee

Josh Arnold
Oh, you were eating it. Accommodating.
Chick McGee
Yeah, it's.
Josh Arnold
It's an ironic name.
Chick McGee
It's one of the. They're sorry to bother you.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Accommodating. Yeah, it was something.
Christy Lee
Did you get your fried pickles?
Chick McGee
Yes, for dessert, but in a. But in a sarcastic way. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Are these what you wanted?
Chick McGee
Yeah, one of those.
Pat Godwin
You happy now?
Chick McGee
Here's your almighty fried pickles.
Tom Griswold
Welcome to. We know you're gonna pay, but.
Chick McGee
Yeah. I couldn't believe it if you saw
Josh Arnold
three vans pull up and it was their point of service technicians. My God. Who ordered an appetizer after an entree.
Chick McGee
All right, everybody out of the. Everybody out. And then she picks up the dishes after and takes my fork from my salad with, of course, ranch dressing. And there's ranch dressing on the fork, and it cascades onto my shoulder.
Christy Lee
Bad.
Josh Arnold
Oh, man.
Chick McGee
And she did one of these. Oh, sorry. She had it out for me. Tom, huh? Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Did you look at her go? This is why I doordash.
Tom Griswold
Was there a heavy tip left?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah. I gave her a sarcastic. She doesn't know it, but she thinks I loved her. It was meant in sar. 20 bucks. Is sarcasm, baby, a sarcastic tip?
Tom Griswold
Well, thank you.
Chick McGee
That's right. That's right.
Tom Griswold
Dear Bob and Tom show. Yeah, I was not looking forward to mowing the lawn last night, but listening to Bob and Tom 247 on the way home reminded me to get out my Raycon everyday earbuds with noise canceling. I got home, put on the headphones, put on my favorite Josh Arnold T shirt.
Josh Arnold
This is a guy who just wanted his letter read.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I think so.
Tom Griswold
Michigan.
Christy Lee
Michigan. Exactly.
Chick McGee
Pat really killed it in a show.
Tom Griswold
I thought you'd be. I thought you'd be pleased. There weren't a lot of Josh Arnold T shirts sold out there that you
Josh Arnold
don't think so recently. I can show you the numbers.
Chick McGee
That's right. I thought that.
Tom Griswold
I'm impressed. That.
Chick McGee
That's great.
Tom Griswold
That's. That's the famous T shirt that says.
Chick McGee
Yeah, sure.
Tom Griswold
And there's a photograph.
Josh Arnold
Unless this guy's lying oh no, there's
Tom Griswold
a, there's a photograph.
Josh Arnold
Oh, there is.
Chick McGee
Who did that character for half. That's very cool.
Josh Arnold
Some guy out of Bloomington, Indiana.
Tom Griswold
No kidding?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He's not wearing it in the photograph.
Chick McGee
I think he might be in genuine here in a couple of spots.
Josh Arnold
I think.
Chick McGee
I think Josh is on to something.
Tom Griswold
Ronald.
Chick McGee
Just say his name and where he lives.
Tom Griswold
I'll tell you what, this is the best part of the letter. He goes. I put on my favorite Josh Arnold T shirt and happily mowed the lawn with a great view of the Mississippi River. Oh, doesn't that take you somewhere?
Chick McGee
I thought he was going to say in a great view of the misses up on the porch, bend over.
Tom Griswold
That sounds great. That leads me to this letter.
Chick McGee
Nothing like mowing the yard and a great view of the Mississippi River.
Tom Griswold
What's wrong with you people? Oh, I'm sorry, it wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't a screen with some, some vulgar pornographic movie on it.
Josh Arnold
I like when you said doesn't that take you somewhere? Yeah, like 20 states.
Chick McGee
Yeah, you just can't see the Mississippi River.
Tom Griswold
Your subliterate Contention is the 20 states border of the Mississippi River.
Josh Arnold
I mean it runs, runs from top to bottom, my friend.
Tom Griswold
I need a number.
Chick McGee
I long for sublibrate literate. See.
Tom Griswold
Okay. I mean don't you think then that sweet.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Listen. Yeah, there he goes and he's, he's a chubby man and his T shirt says I beat anorexia.
Josh Arnold
Not one of my shirts at all. No, it's just a fat joke. So. So now we, we know.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Any shirt that is a fat joke is considered a Josh Arnold shirt.
Christy Lee
Yeah, boy.
Chick McGee
And that is low hanging fruit.
Tom Griswold
Oh boy, I didn't. Where's the Mississippi River? Oh, there it is in the background. You can see it.
Chick McGee
What's this guy's name?
Tom Griswold
Ron.
Chick McGee
Ron.
Josh Arnold
Thank you, Ronnie. He did look like a friendly chap.
Joe Walsh
Sure.
Tom Griswold
I, I thought it was just nice just to imagine looking at the Mississippi in the summertime. You feel like Huck Finn.
Chick McGee
Oh, Miss.
Tom Griswold
What's his buddies name?
Chick McGee
Big money.
Josh Arnold
Let's go with Tom Sawyer.
Chick McGee
Yeah. And by the way, Emma Thompson. I stumbled upon this. It's called Dead of Winter from last year. Emma Thompson's in it. She's 67 and it's kind of an action movie. She's. Yeah. I don't want to give anything of a way.
Josh Arnold
It was pretty good.
Christy Lee
Mississippi river goes through 10 states by the way.
Tom Griswold
Oh, good to know. Thank you very much.
Chick McGee
Wow, man, you were Wrong on Both sides. On two sides. So that's 20 sides.
Tom Griswold
Wrong times, right.
Christy Lee
Right.
Josh Arnold
It cuts them. It cleaves them.
Chick McGee
Does it now, by the way, if I can order fried pickles, we can eat them this morning. Can I. Can I order them?
Tom Griswold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
Well, it's too late now.
Tom Griswold
Got a nice letter from Rory. Great name.
Chick McGee
Great guy named Rory.
Tom Griswold
From Marion, Indiana, Montana.
Chick McGee
Oh, he goes, that's the original Marion from the Music Man.
Tom Griswold
He goes. It's spelled differently. It's in the northwest corner of Montana, an hour and a half west of Glacier National Park.
Christy Lee
Beautiful country.
Tom Griswold
Doesn't that put a little something in your head?
Chick McGee
Would you be a little bit more exact?
Josh Arnold
Before you continue reading this, Will you just show them that piece of paper real quick?
Christy Lee
Oh, my God.
Josh Arnold
So buckle up.
Chick McGee
Oh, my Lord. Now, what does this possibly have in it that caught his eye and he feels the need to read it?
Josh Arnold
If I were a professor and a kid, a student handed me that, I'd go, Eddie, at this. Yeah, before I.
Chick McGee
Absolutely.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I. You'll. I just circled a couple of interesting points.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
As it happened, this was a request from yesterday, which I played. And
Chick McGee
what are you. Is this guy in trouble or.
Christy Lee
Well, you played his request.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he wanted to hear the Mr. Obvious in the deck, which we, which we got.
Josh Arnold
Oh, good.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But no, the reason. But he, at the beginning wanted to point this out. You've been talking about how great stadium hot dogs are.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Which is. Again, see, this is my.
Chick McGee
I'm.
Tom Griswold
This is my version of the bicentennial minute.
Chick McGee
You know, there's nothing better than eat a stadium hot dog, mow the yard looking Mississippi.
Tom Griswold
There isn't. That's my whole point. What's wrong with you commies? Why don't you guys get in, get in a rowboat, make your way to Moscow and join your fellow commies.
Josh Arnold
I joined some Josh Arnold. Oh, did you listen to some of his. Stand up. No, no, I ate a hot dog.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm just saying, cutting the lawn, looking at the Mississippi river or.
Chick McGee
And my, my T shirt has a fat joke on it. You know, like the ones Josh Arnold makes.
Tom Griswold
Breathe in the air in Marion, Montana. Come on, it's America. All right, but he, he does have a point. I, I was talking about how much I enjoyed just a good old fashioned hot dog wrapped in foil. Doing it again because I'm an American, unlike all of us, you and your Mayday crew. Let's see now, there's a place in Big Fork, Montana. I'll just let that sit right there. For a second.
Chick McGee
Big, Big Fork. Do you hear what he's trying to do?
Josh Arnold
You don't think I hear that?
Tom Griswold
Josh, before you get all. Get all itchy to go there. It's the fork. It's the fork in the river.
Christy Lee
Of course it is.
Tom Griswold
I don't think it's a. A shovel like device, oversized to eat,
Chick McGee
put food down your throat.
Christy Lee
You're starting the show off to see you in a river with lead shoes.
Tom Griswold
There's a place in Big Fork, Montana that has great hot dogs. This does sound good.
Chick McGee
Tell me everything.
Tom Griswold
They deep fry them so they're crispy on the outside. I can't explain how big of a difference the deep frying makes.
Josh Arnold
It's wonderful, but my God, I'm gonna.
Tom Griswold
We wrap them in foil. By the time we get home to eat them, the buns are steamed. Please try deep frying your hot dogs. I'll get Ms. Hooker on this. And that sounds really good. Well, thank you very much for taking the time and trouble to write Rory and send us some pictures of Marion, Montana. I bet it's gorgeous.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah, Please.
Tom Griswold
As we do our tour of America. Mississippi River.
Chick McGee
Right?
Tom Griswold
Marion, Montana.
Josh Arnold
Mississippi River.
Tom Griswold
When we come back, I'm gonna play that song just because. What do you have, Pat? You have another song for us coming up?
Pat Godwin
Sure, lots of songs if you'd like.
Tom Griswold
You're gonna be in. You're gonna be in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This is actually your last show for about three months.
Pat Godwin
Maybe two months. We'll get back out there.
Tom Griswold
I talked to a doctor yesterday. It's gonna be three months.
Christy Lee
You guys are the worst friends ever.
Tom Griswold
I know. Isn't it great?
Chick McGee
You want us to lie? Is that what you want?
Tom Griswold
No, actually, I talk. Talked to my physical therapist yesterday. He's gonna give you a phone call to get your confidence built up.
Christy Lee
Thank you. Yeah, Jonathan.
Chick McGee
Now that'll help.
Pat Godwin
Chick had the surgery. So I've heard all about it.
Tom Griswold
You had the same surgery?
Chick McGee
Yeah. Yeah, I did.
Tom Griswold
And you told him good things about it?
Chick McGee
No.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay. Oh, this is where this is coming from.
Chick McGee
I've had open heart surgery and I had rotator cuff surgery. I'd rather have open heart 10 times again instead of rotator.
Tom Griswold
This is really helping.
Pat Godwin
Well, he said he would never have that surgery.
Chick McGee
No.
Joe Walsh
Nope.
Chick McGee
And the left one goes. I'm taking it with me.
Tom Griswold
Well, if you've had. What's it called?
Chick McGee
Rotator cuffs.
Pat Godwin
Rotator cuff.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. Give up. Give padica. But you can still. You can still strum into.
Chick McGee
Are they going to Adjust your labia while they're in there. What is that?
Pat Godwin
I think they might go down.
Tom Griswold
I think it's called labrum. The labrum. Labrum menorah. If you're of the Jewish faith. Labrum majora.
Chick McGee
My doctor.
Tom Griswold
Presbyterian.
Josh Arnold
This is all medically sound?
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
This show between the. Between the geography, the medical science, Mississippi river, the genetic science we were probing earlier. It's amazing what ignorance can do.
Chick McGee
Manitowoc, Iowa.
Tom Griswold
What was I saying? Once again, your show is where again?
Josh Arnold
Shakespeare's.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, in Kalamazoo Mission. Okay, good. That's such a great idea. They have to have Hamlet night. How is the Hamlet? A slider. Is there anything?
Chick McGee
No, it's just like a little. Maybe an egg bunny. Yeah, Ham, cheese. Put them in the crock pot, let them cook all evening. But they're a little slider. Slider shapes. So it's a Hamlet.
Tom Griswold
I see. Sounds very good. All right. Now I want to tell you about something. You probably kind of aware of this. Housing prices way, way up, but maybe your neighbor sold their house and you went, they got how much for it? The point is, if you just look at some very average numbers. You can Google this yourself if you don't believe me. The average house in the United States is worth between 40 and 50% more than it was five years ago. And I'll read it right from the text here. It says a house worth about 200,000 in 2016 could be worth roughly 350 to 400 today. Average sale prices above 500,000 nationally, medium home price, median home prices, 400,000. The point is, you may have a lot more equity in your house than you thought, especially if it's. If you've got 10 year old house, it's probably doubled in price. But it depends, obviously on certain circumstances, certain metrics, et cetera, et cetera. This is where American financing comes in. If you're interested in grabbing some of that equity without actually selling your house, this is what they do. They're called America's Home for Home Loans. Once again, the name is American Financing. And I'll remind you, you can Visit them@AmericanFinancing.net and the idea is no obligation, no high pressure tactics or anything. Anything. It's salaried consultants. They just look at your situation and in about 10 minutes they can tell you, hey, this might work for you. You could grab some cash and use it for whatever. Maybe paying off some high credit card debt. I don't know, getting some nice kitchen appliances, building a nice concrete deck, perhaps a wooden Deck Again, these are all your choices. I can't help you there, but you can do whatever you want with your money because this is America. Now. The rest of these guys here, American financing.net give them a call at 866-889-2611. I recommend just going over to the website and hooking up with them. Please add a slash, Bob and Tom when you go to americanfinancing.net so they know that we sent you.

I looked into one of those tours of the Mississippi. You know how you can take like a, it's like a nicer looking sort
Tom Griswold
of barge boat, right?
Josh Arnold
You're, you're, you're not cheap. No, no, you're, you're better off taking a European cruise, I think. I had no idea, but I'd still love to do it.
Tom Griswold
We got on an odd topic earlier. Pat is going to be playing a. Is it a restaurant or a Nightclub.
Josh Arnold
It's called a pub.
Pat Godwin
Shakespeare's pub there in Kalamazoo.
Tom Griswold
Shakespeare's pub.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Pat Godwin
Fun place.
Tom Griswold
In Kalamazoo this Saturday night. It's your final performance before you have your shoulder surgery. Possibly. Final performance?
Pat Godwin
No, no.
Christy Lee
What is wrong with you?
Josh Arnold
Absolutely booked me for the phone.
Tom Griswold
Well, didn't. Didn't the great Les Paul have his arm? Yes, surgically.
Chick McGee
Well, he broke. He broke it and then he wanted
Tom Griswold
to have it set so he could still play guitar. You might want to alert the surgeon.
Pat Godwin
I will talk about it extensively.
Tom Griswold
So he can freeze your arm in that position. And it's your strumming hand. Right. Your right hand.
Pat Godwin
Dominant hand. The right hand. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I can't joke a, doc, can I play the piano?
Chick McGee
Of course.
Josh Arnold
I couldn't before.
Chick McGee
Don't you get the feeling that whoever's doing the surgery on Pat is going to have him. Pat knocked out as the second he leaves his house. There's not going to be any conscious time for Pat going into the chatty now surgery.
Tom Griswold
Get it over with. Right, but you mentioned that Shakespeare's pub in Kalamazoo, Michigan featuring Pat Godwin coming up soon.
Chick McGee
Wonderful appetizers. Leading the way of course is the ham sandwich cheese. And they slow cook it there little one or two bite sandwiches. They call them hamlets.
Tom Griswold
I wonder if they. Because there would be an obvious menu you suggested, I believe. Was it the taming of the stew?
Josh Arnold
It's only when winter though that they do that.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I see. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Right.
Tom Griswold
I'd like my. My coffee with a midsummer night's cream.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
And then those breakfast. Much ado about muffins are delightful muffins.
Chick McGee
Much to do about.
Tom Griswold
Much ado about I can't eat it. But they do have all's well that ends veal. I. I don't like.
Chick McGee
You don't like veal?
Tom Griswold
I feel bad about the. The critter feel Parmesan. They didn't let it live long enough. Yeah. Yeah. So they. In any event, I hope you have a great show, Pat. I think it'll be fun. And what was the last one? Oh, Macbeth and cheese. Yeah, that's very good. But right now we. We turn to Chick McGee at the Bob and Tom sports page.
Chick McGee
What's happening real quick? NBA playoffs last night. SGA. That's Shea had 32 points. Alex Caruso, the guy from the Y had 22. And the Oklahoma City Thunder moved to one win away from a return trip to the NBA finals. They beat the spurs in Oklahoma city last night. 127 114. So the Thunder lead that series three games to two. Victor Wembanyama.
Josh Arnold
Vicky. Vicky. Wem.
Chick McGee
Wem just 20 points last night. Held to 4 of 15 shooting.
Josh Arnold
Vicky. Vicky.
Chick McGee
They tightened up a little bit on him last night. Now we have a story from the world of Major League baseball that I want Tom to pay extra special attention to. Apparently, Bryce Harper put up on his tick tock that he's illustrated what an intelligent, clear, thinking human being he is. He puts toothpaste in his mouth and then brushes his teeth. He doesn't put toothpaste on the toothbrush. Tom and I share this. Yeah, of course. No, that's the only way to do it.
Christy Lee
No.
Chick McGee
And now that's Bryce Harper getting ready to brush his teeth. Squirts it into his mouth. Exactly.
Christy Lee
Terribly awful.
Chick McGee
So now when Bryce Harper goes to a visiting stadium, they play the video of him brushing his teeth in that manner.
Joe Walsh
So.
Josh Arnold
So a lot of people can boo, though.
Chick McGee
So they can boo him.
Tom Griswold
I've always done that.
Chick McGee
I've always.
Tom Griswold
I don't share my.
Christy Lee
I was gonna share. Do you share your toothpaste?
Tom Griswold
No.
Christy Lee
No.
Chick McGee
Oh. Oh, God, no. Well, my toothpaste.
Pat Godwin
Some people.
Tom Griswold
I have my own.
Chick McGee
I have my own people.
Christy Lee
Do we.
Tom Griswold
I have my own sink.
Josh Arnold
I do too, but I still. I put it on the toothbrush. Right, right. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Human being.
Josh Arnold
Dennis say that like an adult.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
If you.
Tom Griswold
Now, Pat, I'm surprised you can do that, even with the shakes.
Chick McGee
What shakes?
Pat Godwin
I have children that are listening.
Chick McGee
Or just one hurts more than.
Tom Griswold
More than one.
Chick McGee
I. I have a child.
Josh Arnold
I mean, we're human beings. And this is how. This is how he treats.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah. It's. It's an unnecessary step. I.
Christy Lee
You know, it's not that he took 10 years ago.
Chick McGee
It's not the remark so much as it's the. The lusty way he's laughing during the whole thing.
Pat Godwin
By the way, if you have a bottle by the bed, you don't shake in the bathroom.
Josh Arnold
Yes, hello.
Tom Griswold
A quick rinse. Well, what's coming up from the sports desk?
Chick McGee
NHL Santa cup playoff last night and a whole bunch of weird sports coming out of the desk of Griswold Sports.
Tom Griswold
We got a great. We have a great world record.
Chick McGee
Here we go. Get comfortable.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I think it's a terrific world record. I'm very excited about it. We have the cheese rolling results from the famous running down the mountain and in Britain. Cheese already.
Josh Arnold
I didn't realize it was that time of year.
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's that spring has Arrived.
Chick McGee
If they wait too long, cheese is runny.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I was like 95 in London yesterday.
Chick McGee
Jesus.
Christy Lee
Did you see that?
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's really hot.
Christy Lee
Really hot.
Tom Griswold

Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. We're getting ready for Pat Godwin's special appearance. His last appearance.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
For quite some time. He's having some major surgery before he
Chick McGee
just has to hire an accompany.
Tom Griswold
So if you want to see, you
Chick McGee
can still sing, right?
Tom Griswold
Sure.
Josh Arnold
Like a bird.
Tom Griswold
I know someone. I know someone went, for example, to Elvis's last live performance ever.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. They didn't know it was going to be the end.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
I'm not suggesting that Pat's appearance. Shakespeare's.
Josh Arnold
You know, the smile you're wearing tells me otherwise up.
Tom Griswold
If it's my last performance. And pack that place.
Christy Lee
Ah.
Tom Griswold
I'm just saying it's going to be a great show. Pat's having some shoulder surgery that'll put him out of commission for a little bit of time, so. And it's once again at Shakespeare's, the home of the special omelet. What is it called? The Hamlet.
Chick McGee
The Hamlet. It's like a slider, like a White Castle, but it's a ham sandwich cheese with on the little buns. You put them in a crock pot
Tom Griswold
and if you're a hunter, you can go get the Merchant of Venison.
Josh Arnold
That's always delicious.
Chick McGee
Tom. I'm sorry, that's season. It is.
Tom Griswold
Okay. But the Macbeth and cheese, they have that all the time.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
Okay. They do have the Richard III ribs. My kingdom for some horseradish. You gotta. You gotta know what to ask.
Chick McGee
I like Richard III ribs. But what about Richard iii?
Josh Arnold
Right. Why the ribs?
Tom Griswold
Just the. The horse. We have a hump. How about the. How about the Christy for you?
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
To Brie or not to Brie? The baked Brie appetizer.
Christy Lee
I love the Baked brie, apricot jam and some.
Chick McGee
Don't you guys think. You know me and my question. Don't you think rotator cuff surgery got to be top five procedures right now?
Tom Griswold
What do you mean?
Chick McGee
Popular people getting injured and having to fix the rotator.
Josh Arnold
It feels like 80% of people at least know somebody who's had a diagnosis.
Chick McGee
Actually, every. Every time I've talked to somebody about rotator and it's the way I tore mine reaching into the back seat of the car. And I know you had a story about your doctor told you.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yes. So you got to make up a much better lie.
Chick McGee
No, that's.
Tom Griswold
You know, I was. I was helping a kid get off a flaming school bus. You can't just.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know. Okay, well, I was reaching for some.
Chick McGee
I was reaching for another condom in the back seat.
Tom Griswold
Well, I was gonna say I was lifting her ass. Yeah. Yeah. That's better than reaching for some Reese's peanut butter cups in the back seat that were melting in the sun. And I tore my shoulder. A lot of it is.
Joe Walsh
What.
Tom Griswold
Pickleball. And.
Pat Godwin
Yeah. Wear and tear.
Tom Griswold
Age. People are.
Pat Godwin
Age, not being more active.
Chick McGee
Really?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. That'd be a good. What is the number one surgery? Is it like knee. Oh, knee replacement. Hip replacement.
Chick McGee
I'm thinking about getting a hip replacement just to see what it's like.
Christy Lee
Really?
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Why not?
Chick McGee
Why wait till the last minute?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Good.
Tom Griswold
Good luck with the insurance on that one.
Josh Arnold
One of my good buddies is having hip surgery in like a week or two. I'll let you. He'll. He'll. I'll let you know.
Chick McGee
I would. I would appreciate.
Tom Griswold
And they get. They get you up quick now. Yeah, they don't. You don't get to lie around for a while.
Josh Arnold
It's. I'm sure that's the right thing to do.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
So.
Tom Griswold
Well, Pat, you're going to be just fine. I sure hope so.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Let me tell you something. You totally say last.
Tom Griswold
The last time I had ser.
Chick McGee
You.
Tom Griswold
My. The one thing I do remember was you.
Josh Arnold
You're.
Tom Griswold
You're in the super clean operation theater, whatever you call it. And the people are all. They're all great.
Chick McGee
Sure.
Tom Griswold
You get wheeled in, you say hi to everybody. But I just remember the. You've already talked to the anesthesiologist. Oh, and by the way, there's. There's a new question. You know, when you. When you talk to an anesthesiologist, they always say, you know, when is the last time you had. Whatever they Want to know all the drugs you might be taking. And they've added one. At least the one. My last conversation. Have you had any gummies?
Pat Godwin
Gummy? Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, no. Yeah. They'll ask you all, how does that affect.
Christy Lee
Do you not get surgery if you've had them?
Tom Griswold
They just want to know what you've taken.
Chick McGee
But I would imagine they have to adjust dosage or.
Tom Griswold
Or whatever.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, there's all kinds of supplements, like a week before.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. They got to make sure you're clean. In any event, I just remember the guy going, and okay, I'm gonna. I'm gonna, you know, apply this. Just count down from 10. And I distinctly recall going, then I woke up.
Chick McGee
Josh has the best story in that. You. You told him right before they gave me the anesthesia, right?
Josh Arnold
Oh, that's. Yeah. I go, I'm gonna fight this as hard as I can, right? He goes, please do. The harder you fight, the quicker you fall asleep.
Chick McGee
And sure enough, Right.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah. That's interesting.
Josh Arnold
Weird.
Tom Griswold
I didn't get. Didn't even get to the end of the word 10, but it was great.
Christy Lee
It was nice sleep, huh?
Tom Griswold
And they do all the work.
Christy Lee
Well. Yeah. Yeah. What are you expected to do?
Tom Griswold
Oh, it's nice. Nice having someone else do something for you.
Josh Arnold
What?
Christy Lee
What? Oh, you hate it when people.
Chick McGee
I assume, and this might not be the case, but when you go to your doctor, you pretty much tell him what's wrong with you, how it should be treated and what medicines you need. Correct. So what do you do during a procedure? Do you like, give a light. A light anesthesia so you can add your two cents as they're.
Tom Griswold
No.
Chick McGee
Working on you.
Tom Griswold
They're in charge. Was great.
Chick McGee
Really.
Ali Breen
That's.
Tom Griswold
That's the beauty of it.
Chick McGee
Well, that's nice.
Tom Griswold
Competent people, really good at their jobs.
Josh Arnold
Stop.
Chick McGee
You going to see the doctor? You don't trust him?
Tom Griswold
Sure I do.
Josh Arnold
I'm getting a colonoscopy in two weeks or so and they said they're going to keep me awake for it. They said they're going to give you the give the. Give me. Because last time I had one done, they knocked me out. But this one I might be. So maybe I'll tell him.
Tom Griswold
Do that. You could look at the screen and do kind of a play by play, maybe.
Christy Lee
So why are they doing it that way?
Josh Arnold
Something about you've had too many. Me not wanting to pay for nsd. Who knows what I'm making that now.
Tom Griswold
Sir, you're either gonna have to pay for the lube.
Pat Godwin
I Knew you were fine.
Tom Griswold
This is gonna be a little rough.
Josh Arnold
I did spring for the lube.
Tom Griswold
I see.
Josh Arnold
But I didn't spring for the prep, so joke's on him. Gonna be a tough day for them,
Tom Griswold
you know, So I.
Christy Lee
So you'll be in Twilight then?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, Yeah.
Tom Griswold
A friend of mine didn't do the prep and they. They sent him home.
Josh Arnold
Oh. As they should.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
You have to do.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they. You can't.
Josh Arnold
I believe our own Chick McGee was chastised one morning.
Tom Griswold
Fudge was the issue.
Chick McGee
I know you did not complete your prep work.
Josh Arnold
Was it true?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, anyway, Pat, you're gonna be fine. So.
Josh Arnold
All right.
Tom Griswold
Saturday night, you're gonna be fine. Shakespeare's and Kalamazoo mission. Kalamazoo.
Christy Lee
It's all in your head. Positive outlook now.
Chick McGee
It's in the shoulder, actually.
Tom Griswold
Well, now we can move forward here. We were going to go back to the sports page.
Chick McGee
A Ninja Warrior style obstacle course is coming to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. According to Variety, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, the company behind Suzuki and Ninja Warrior, has reached an agreement to bring elements of the show into the modern Pentathlon's new obstacle racing event. The ioc, International Olympic Committee voted to add obstacle racing to the modern Pentathlon for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles. That's not any Olympic Games, Tom. That's LA Olympic Games, Tom.
Josh Arnold
Do you approve?
Tom Griswold
I think it's great.
Chick McGee
Really?
Josh Arnold
I'm a huge fan of American Ninja Warrior, so I love all this stuff, but it is. And, you know, sometimes we don't care for the new events.
Tom Griswold
Well, it's not break dancing. I mean, this requires some athleticism and an incredible amount.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
That show.
Chick McGee
Are you saying break dancing doesn't require an athlete?
Josh Arnold
It absolutely does.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But I mean, what's next?
Chick McGee
What?
Tom Griswold
What?
Chick McGee
This is how we got out of Vietnam. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Your.
Chick McGee
Your domino theory. What's next?
Tom Griswold
This is how we got out of it. That's how we got into Vietnam, I think is what you meant to say.
Chick McGee
Okay. No, I. I said exactly what I meant.
Tom Griswold
Okay. I think I. American Ninja War is a cool show.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it really is, but this is
Tom Griswold
apparently going to be part of some other. Some other game.
Josh Arnold
Well, it started in Japan. That's why ours is called American Ninja Warrior.
Tom Griswold
Not just Ninja Warrior, but they had.
Josh Arnold
For those who want.
Tom Griswold
They had to buy the. The Olympics, had to negotiate to get the rights. It sounds kind of like an X Game thing, but I think it'll be cool. And I imagine it's also probably they know how telegenic it is. So it'll get more people watching the Games.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. And it's amazing.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I do. I do think they should have weight divisions.
Chick McGee
Well, I mean, for the Ninja War,
Josh Arnold
the window of weight for ninjas is pretty. You don't want to even be too tall for that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's, it's the, the. The type of athleticism that it requires gets a very specific body type. So it'd be fun to see some guys that weigh 225 and.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's what Wipeout is for. Wipeout is. Is American Ninja Warrior for fat people. That's just what. What the best.
Tom Griswold
How about this, Josh? Maybe this will make you happy. I think I've got.
Chick McGee
Maybe this will make you happy.
Tom Griswold
Josh, you're opposed to adding new events to the Olympics. Why not? If they. If they. If they add God.
Christy Lee
That's not what he said.
Tom Griswold
Of course it is. Studying to run.
Chick McGee
I'm studying how we got in Vietnam. Go ahead.
Tom Griswold
Studying to run for office. What if anytime they had a new event, they went back to the, the, the. The original Olympics where everyone was naked?
Chick McGee
What?
Josh Arnold
I think a show like Naked Ninja Warrior or Naked Naked Wipeout for sure would get huge ratings.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I mean, Naked Ninja Warrior, you know, when they fell in that water, if they fell the wrong way, you can see.
Josh Arnold
Exactly.
Tom Griswold
The lifeguard has to go get him. He's gonna be okay. He may have crushed his nuts. We're not sure. But that'll be cool. That'll be fun.
Josh Arnold
Hopefully they get the two guys from the NBC American Ninja Warrior.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, I love those two.
Josh Arnold
Matt.
Christy Lee
Matt's been in here.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah, he always looks like he's like Roger Ram Chat. He's got that big chest he's about to burst out.
Chick McGee
Before we get started too much into the interview, I'd just like to tell you, you remind me of. I told him that Roger Ramjet.
Josh Arnold
You told him? You remind me?
Chick McGee
Of course he did, because you're insane is why you told him that.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm sorry.
Josh Arnold
Let's just move forward here. Yeah, they're both good dudes.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Coming up, we have more sporting news, including a great world record that everyone can relate to.
Josh Arnold
Is that true, Chick?
Chick McGee
Nope.
Tom Griswold
Yes, it is. It was done by a guy and a guy who's a fourth year medical
Josh Arnold
student at Yale, like we all once were.
Chick McGee
Yeah, tell me I can't relate to that.
Tom Griswold
He's got a beautiful wife and his little kid, and once again, they decided to do something fun.
Chick McGee
Checking all the boxes.
Tom Griswold
They did it in your state of Ohio, Chick McGee.
Chick McGee
Your state too.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's fun, but it's a, it involves a toy that we're all familiar with.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
A toy that I have always said is one of the worst toys ever made.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I, I have a guess.
Tom Griswold
Okay, it's minutes of fun, but it's a cool world record, so. But right now I want to check in and find out what are all these cameras all over the place?

Christy Lee
Throw me under the bus.
Josh Arnold
Or maybe has something to do with the female perspective.
Tom Griswold
Maybe on top of the bus.
Christy Lee
Well, maybe we also.
Tom Griswold
We also have Ali Breen coming up with sexy time.
Chick McGee
Maybe riding the bus like a cowgirl.
Tom Griswold

Chick McGee
Howdy, howdy do. That is so weird. Tom, did you notice the shirt Chrissy's wearing? I had that same exact shirt at home.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
I call it my spirit shirt.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Chick McGee
I wear that when things are. Things are ebbing a little bit.
Christy Lee
Makes you feel better.
Chick McGee
Lift my spirits. I wear very nice.
Christy Lee
Everybody's in black. I'm in white.
Tom Griswold
Kind of blousy. Blousy with some filigree in the sleeves.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Blouse and filigree.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Very nice.
Chick McGee
Lifts my spirits just talking about it.
Christy Lee
Saying the word filigree.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hey. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi.
Chick McGee
And Josh has a shirt on that says his name. Has his name on
Christy Lee
shoulder.
Chick McGee
Uhhuh. There's Ace Cosby. I am Chick McGee. And here's Tom. Hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
That's very blousy, that shirt. Kind of the blousy. Yeah, Bouncy and blousey. Got the big sleeves. It's very nice, very feminine.
Christy Lee
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
Now, Chick Magee is at our sports desk.
Chick McGee
Mexican president. You want to talk about that?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, sure.
Chick McGee
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
Christy Lee
That doesn't.
Chick McGee
Well, confirmed Monday that her government will allow the Iranian national soccer team to stay in Mexico while competing in the World Cup.
Josh Arnold
The Mexican president actually wants some Mexicans to stay in Mexico.
Tom Griswold
No, no, no, no.
Josh Arnold
I was going to say that'd be quite a change.
Chick McGee
They will allow the Iranian.
Tom Griswold
Iranian national team.
Josh Arnold
I just wanted to tell a joke.
Chick McGee
While competing in the World Cup. Oh, no, they. He doesn't sing. He just plays guitar. The quadrennial soccer event is being held June 11 to July 19 in Canada, Mexico, the U.S. all three of Iran's scheduled group stage matches are in the United States. The first two, la, third, Seattle. The team will be staying in where the fun is. Tijuana.
Christy Lee
Well, I mean that's the closest Mexican city to the border, right?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I mean, I, I, obviously with the issues going on right now internationally, apparently they didn't want to stay in the usa, but it sure. Games are all here. But if they're in Tijuana, obviously Tijuana,
Josh Arnold
they can, he's adding a little spice to it.
Tom Griswold
If they don't, if they don't get a trophy, they can always get an std.
Joe Walsh
Sure.
Tom Griswold
One of the very fine establishments.
Josh Arnold
They're going home with something. We know that they can get their
Chick McGee
picture taken with a donkey painted like a zebra. Sure, sure. Tijuana.
Josh Arnold
You guys have been, haven't you?
Chick McGee
Oh, yes.
Tom Griswold
I have never been.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, same.
Chick McGee
I was there during the fun years. 91. Me and George Lopez were down there. Wow. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Together.
Chick McGee
Oh yeah.
Tom Griswold
Big fun.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's kind of weird.
Chick McGee
I got some stories for the Inquirer. If they want to pay for. Hundreds of distinctively coiffured participants gathered this this past weekend in southern Belgium for the annual European Mullet Championship. Coiffured.
Josh Arnold
I would have gone, you know what? If somebody asked me, I would have said quaffed.
Chick McGee
Yeah, I thought that as well.
Josh Arnold
I'm happy to learn this.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Qua fjord.
Tom Griswold
I bet most folks in the USA that have mullets don't use the word quaffed or quaff. Your.
Josh Arnold
I guarantee.
Chick McGee
Well, here's something. This seems like editorial comment here, right in the story. The annual European Mullet Championship to celebrate the once maligned hairstyle.
Josh Arnold
It has made somewhat of a comeback, hasn't it?
Chick McGee
Best captured by the tagline business in the front, party in the back. Or my favorite that Josh uses for the mullet.
Tom Griswold
Mullet.
Josh Arnold
The Missouri Compromise.
Chick McGee
The Missouri Compromise. The mullet.
Tom Griswold
Typically business in the front, party in the back. Sound like something a high paid gay male prostitute would say?
Josh Arnold
I, I know, I know what you're doing and I appreciate it.
Tom Griswold
See a party in the back.
Josh Arnold
Right, right, right.
Tom Griswold
I guess it depends what kind of
Josh Arnold
move you're paying for.
Chick McGee
I know we've upset someone.
Tom Griswold
Hold on. Lighten up.
Josh Arnold
Yes, some straight white woman somewhere.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, about that. If we upset a male prostitute, we
Josh Arnold
have to worry about that demographic now.
Chick McGee
Come on, that's barely missed.
Tom Griswold
Although I understand in the last research our male prostitute numbers huge.
Josh Arnold
American Gigolo. Should I watch it?
Chick McGee
Yeah, it's worth a look.
Christy Lee
I've seen that in a long.
Josh Arnold
I like Paul Schrader and I like Richard Gere, so.
Chick McGee
Absolutely. Give that a watch, man.
Josh Arnold
I'm on a Richard Gere kick.
Chick McGee
Richard Gear walks around and I jock strap a lot.
Christy Lee
Well, because of you. I watched Officer and a Gentleman with my daughter Sophie the other night. She was not impressed. I know. I was very disappointed. Fell asleep in it.
Tom Griswold
Does she have your. I know you like a man in uniform. You've said that many times. Does she not have that?
Christy Lee
I guess not. She's like me in a lot of ways, but I guess not that way.
Tom Griswold
What's your favorite man in uniform type? Fireman, policeman.
Christy Lee
All of them, really.
Josh Arnold
Do you have a top?
Christy Lee
I do like the dress whites.
Josh Arnold
That is really nice.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that's pretty strong.
Tom Griswold
And your favorite Josh is the midget bellman.
Josh Arnold
It's absolutely my favorite.
Tom Griswold
With a cap.
Josh Arnold
That's right. I want. Ideally, they're no taller than my suitcase. So it looks like my suitcase is just floating across the hotel.
Chick McGee
We'll be back with more from Mike.
Josh Arnold
I don't know if Dominile will.
Tom Griswold
When the little guy reads the telegram, the train will be late. Stop.
Chick McGee
A little guy comes out there with a little message.
Tom Griswold
Does anybody still have those like double breasted the bellman suits?
Josh Arnold
I hope so.
Chick McGee
Is that what. Is that what you wore?
Tom Griswold
No, no, I wore. When I was a bellman, I wore a. A jacket. Looked like a sports jacket, but it ended at the waist.
Chick McGee
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Whatever those are called.
Chick McGee
Like a crop top?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, crop jacket.
Chick McGee
I believe it's an ejaculate.
Tom Griswold
Ejaculate? Is that what they call it?
Christy Lee
I think the Ritz in Paris. Those guys still wear that?
Tom Griswold
I hope so.
Christy Lee
Yeah, they do because I don't know if they. Nice double breasted blue jacket.
Josh Arnold
I've been to the Plaza and I've been to the Waldorf Astoria and I don't remember seeing those dudes, but maybe they were there. Those are also places here. I would hope. Would.
Christy Lee
But I would hope. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I don't. I like going to places where the. You kind of know who's who.
Chick McGee
It's great.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, it's fun.
Joe Walsh
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You know, there are some of these places you pull in and a guy walks up. Well, this is either just some stranger that wants to take my suitcase or he works here. I can't tell. I. I don't know.
Chick McGee
I don't find it surprising. You're a big fan of the cast system. Yeah, absolutely. People knowing their ploy.
Tom Griswold
Place.
Chick McGee
And an Ohio family. I used to have one of those. Has broken the Guinness World record. Oh, geez. I'm sorry. It's my fault. Stupid world record. An Ohio family has broken the Guinness world Record. For the most stairs descended by a Slinky. The luck Singer family. Luch. Singer family consisting of Joe Christel and five year old Axel.
Tom Griswold
This guy's great. He's a fourth year medical student at Yale University in Connecticut. But he came back to Ohio to do this stunt and it's amazing.
Christy Lee
You hate the Slinky.
Tom Griswold
I do hate the Slinky. But I like this guy and his family.
Josh Arnold
I am. When the Slinky works, man, I. I will sit there and smile and watch
Chick McGee
they claim the title with a total 53 stairs.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I'd love to have seen it.
Chick McGee
Almost doubling the long standing record of 30 stairs. The success like that much. Well, it took place on the stairs of Otterbein Stadium in Westerville, Ohio.
Tom Griswold
They. They tested a whole bunch of different Slinkies. Yeah, this guy did. I read the whole article to trying to find the one that was the best they settled on and they're all plastic now.
Christy Lee
All you can't get a metal Slinky.
Tom Griswold
I don't think so.
Chick McGee
Oh, you've got to be.
Josh Arnold
Because the plastic weren't nearly as good.
Tom Griswold
This is one of the larger plastic ones. To me the Slinky is a toy. It was like the. The other toy that I hate is the.
Christy Lee
What's the one with Etch A Sketch?
Tom Griswold
Etch A Sketch. That it just kills any creativity. And I know there are people that can do the Mona Lisa on Etch A Sketch. Sure. But if you have a life, you really don't want to teach kids how to draw. Not in any event. Yeah. The Slinky is good for 10 minutes and then. Okay, now what we used then we used to tie it between two trees and wait for Simmy to drive by on his bike and watch him Simmy lose his head.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they're out of. They're outdoors.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, they're outdoors. Yeah, it's. It's a.
Josh Arnold
Look at that thing. It's magnificent.
Chick McGee
I could not color when I was a kid. I could not get it to do two or three stairs, let alone we
Josh Arnold
could get it to do the entire staircase at our house.
Chick McGee
No kidding.
Josh Arnold
Maybe 12.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I trained mine on an escalator.
Josh Arnold
Oh, did you now that I think that it faulted. Okay. And it did stop.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It was the end. Look at that little kid. It's like a four year old having a five year old. Whatever. Having a great time. Dad set a world record. That's really cool.
Josh Arnold
So they claim that's the finest Slinky.
Tom Griswold
Whichever one that is, that was the one that after Their testing. They. That did the. He said they tested multiple commercially available Slinkies for their stamina, settling on the 6 inch Rainbow Slinky that they got off of Amazon.
Josh Arnold
Man. I want to take one to, like, a Mayan temple.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah, Like Chichen. And it goes. But that's so steel.
Tom Griswold
That's. I was thinking the same thing. You have to wonder what is the most disrespectful place that a Slinky has ever been used? I imagine coming off the altar during a service.
Josh Arnold
That's probably.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. The pyramid is a good idea.
Josh Arnold
Could you have a perpetual Slinky on an escalator?
Chick McGee
That's interesting.
Christy Lee
Oh, that's a great question.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's. Like I said, we trained.
Josh Arnold
Right. Right. Because it's like it would be the treadmill for a Slinky.
Christy Lee
But yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I'm just asking if you really could.
Tom Griswold
I have a question for you guys. Oh, there's a place that I go to have lunch all the time. And you have to take an escalator to get there.
Christy Lee
Yep.
Tom Griswold
You know what I'm talking about. Maybe it's just me. Do you touch the handrail?
Josh Arnold
I don't. Do you, Christy?
Christy Lee
No.
Tom Griswold
I don't either.
Christy Lee
No, there's no need to.
Tom Griswold
No, you. But I mean, think of the book.
Chick McGee
I like it there. And every now and then I'll touch it. I don't make a point of.
Tom Griswold
But the problem is going, oh, my
Chick McGee
God, I'm gonna die if I touch it.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
The problem is at that place, it's in a large store.
Christy Lee
The restaurant is department store. Yes.
Tom Griswold
And the place to wash your hands is really far away. So if you touch that, then I go, well, don't. You can't eat now.
Chick McGee
Well, don't you carry, like, wet wipes or something?
Tom Griswold
No. Maybe I should.
Chick McGee
Yeah, absolutely.
Christy Lee
I'm surprised you don't.
Tom Griswold
I know the people that work. I wonder if they let me go back into the kitchen and wash my hands.
Chick McGee
I'm sure they would.
Tom Griswold
Probably.
Josh Arnold
Probably.
Tom Griswold
If anything, they're probably the only person
Christy Lee
in the restaurant, so. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
So long as this time you use the sink and not the chowder like last time.
Chick McGee
If anything speeds up your visit and gets you out of there,
Tom Griswold
I always pretend I'm kind of surfing on the escalator.
Christy Lee
Oh.
Chick McGee
I was like, let me tell you something. I've seen him do this. He takes his hand and he goes like this.
Josh Arnold
Escalator.
Tom Griswold
Escalator, yeah.
Christy Lee
Boy, you're a fun guy, aren't you?
Tom Griswold
Those escalators are Dangerous.
Josh Arnold
And they can be a pain.
Chick McGee
Yeah, you got a shoelace stuff. I heard about a shoelace guy and they never saw him again.
Josh Arnold
Oh, man. They just found a ski skin.
Tom Griswold
But they're lucky they found that because they don't find the body seven years before you get the insurance.
Chick McGee
Well, it's a fact before you're declared.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah.
Josh Arnold
Jake, remember when you and I were on the escalator and it stopped? We were stuck there for what, four hours?
Chick McGee
It was waiting for people you would think.
Tom Griswold
Did you start getting claustrophobic?
Josh Arnold
We sure did.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Did you say claustrophobic?
Tom Griswold
I did.
Chick McGee
Okay. That's where two people are, right?
Tom Griswold
Hey, the United. Coming up.
Chick McGee
King Dub. Is it coming up or do we have. Okay, cheese coming up in the United Kingdom?
Josh Arnold
Is it cheddar cheese?
Chick McGee
Grommet. It's a wheel of cheese.
Josh Arnold
Wallace and Grommet. Boy, oh, boy. Just delightful.
Chick McGee
Pretty great stuff.
Tom Griswold
I forgot Grommet's first name. It was George Wallace, the governor. And then who was it? Trevor Gromit.
Chick McGee
Trevor Grommet. It's his dog.
Tom Griswold
You know, he appears in Leonard Skynyrd song. Oh, never mind. Coming up, also, it'll be Ally Brain with Sexy Time. We have the ultimate electric vehicle. May be about to get released.
Christy Lee
Save your pennies.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah. It may be the most expensive one.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Chick McGee
But what you pay for.
Tom Griswold
And then we've been talking, or at least maybe just me. I've always found that people, for example, that cut hair, really, are also therapists.
Christy Lee
Sure.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah. Your bartender can be a therapist.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Well, now there's someone that's kind of making it semi official.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
So we'll find out about that.
Josh Arnold
With the uptick in electric vehicles and chargers being in people's homes, we're going to see an uptick in Frankenstein's.
Tom Griswold
Ooh, absolutely.
Josh Arnold
More and more people are going to try.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. If you go online and say, how do I convert.
Chick McGee
Convert absolutely.
Tom Griswold
My. My EV charger into a thing that can bring back the dead.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
Oh, there's hundreds.
Josh Arnold
No one's thought, I wish hundreds of videos.
Tom Griswold
And have you seen lately the bolts that they put in your neck when they bring you back? They're a little smaller now.
Josh Arnold
They are, yeah.
Tom Griswold
And people kind of decorate little things.
Josh Arnold
We have to find a way for me to get in front of Congress and warn them about the uptick in Frankenstein.
Chick McGee
Thank you for their faces. I don't have to tell you about the legend of Frankenstein.
Tom Griswold
They'd rather talk about that than anything real. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And I really like it. It's a nice looking guy. He's a medical student at Yale. He's got a nice family.
Christy Lee
Would you like him if he was
Tom Griswold
his five year old son? No, it's just.
Chick McGee
What if he just went to a regular old state school?
Tom Griswold
That'd be for notice. No, it's fine. The guy. I'm just saying it. What about usually these were attracted. Because it's just a. It's a regular guy.
Chick McGee
A regular guy that's going to be a doctor who attends Yale. Yeah, just a run of the mill Joe Sixpence. When you're right, you're right.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm not sure I'm going to go to the doctor that was trained in Guadalajara because he couldn't cut it. But I'm sure there are also some very fine positions. You're missing the point.
Announcer
Point?
Chick McGee
No, I think I'm making the point.
Tom Griswold
It's a guy, just a guy and his did something for fun with his 5 year old son and his wife with a Slinky and they set the world record for the most Slinkies going down the stairs. But, and I said after reading the article, apparently there are no metal Slinkies. They do make metal Slinkies.
Josh Arnold
Ah, good to know. Okay, so.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, so those are much better. If you want to tie between two trees and watch your friend ride by on a bike and get knocked off.
Christy Lee
That's a good idea.
Joe Walsh
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Isn't that what they do in the movie the Great Escape? Is that the one where the. Anybody?
Josh Arnold
Boy, I haven't seen that in 30 years.
Chick McGee
I don't know if a Slinky's involved.
Tom Griswold
Isn't that the one where they put the wire across and the.
Christy Lee
On the motorcycle.
Chick McGee
Remember that?
Tom Griswold
The crowds come by and get knocked. Okay. Anyway.
Chick McGee
What the point is the crowds come by, Josh.
Tom Griswold
Well, in that context it's perfectly acceptable. What's wrong with you guys?
Chick McGee
You know, the crowds, the mix. You know, I'M just trying.
Josh Arnold
I'm having a Tom problem. Well, let me know if this is. I feel like this is something Tom has done, and I'm about to do it.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
I washed my hands during the break. First off. Why? I don't know. All of a sudden, I found myself at the sink washing my hands. And I think it's because we were talking escalator handles.
Christy Lee
He got in your head, didn't he?
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. I was just saying there's a place I go to have lunch, but you have to take an escalator, right? I don't want to touch the escalator handle because God knows where that's been.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Yes.
Josh Arnold
And then so my OCD got the best of me just now, and I used a soap. It smells good, but it's so strong. I'm gonna have to re. Wash my hands with a different soap to get the smell of this soap off.
Chick McGee
There's a soap in there that's unscented. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
There's two soaps. You'll notice that I come out of the men's room. Usually I go to the green room to wash my hands.
Josh Arnold
That's what I. That's why I was washing my hands,
Tom Griswold
because the water's hotter there. A, and B, they have. There's two soaps. There's that green stuff. But the unscented is the clearest.
Josh Arnold
I use the green stuff.
Chick McGee
Did you notice. Did you wash your hands in the men's, men's club or the men's room here?
Josh Arnold
I have, but today it was the green room.
Chick McGee
Okay. Because someone's been making mud pies in the men's sink here. I don't know what's going on.
Tom Griswold
I haven't been in there today again. So back to my point. Oh, most of these world record guys look at David Rush. I'm a huge fan, but David Rush
Christy Lee
is a normal guy with a family.
Tom Griswold
He's not a normal guy. He has like 300 world records. He's a great juggler. This guy's just. David Rush has incredible skills, but he's not a neuroscientist like the guy that has the slinky record.
Christy Lee
That's.
Chick McGee
No, you keep calling him a regular guy and you just said he was.
Tom Griswold
But he's not some world class athlete. He's just a guy that as. Hey. He looked into it and he said, what? What? Could we do a world record to impress my. My little boy? Because his little boy doesn't care that his dad's a neuroscientist and a Genius.
Josh Arnold
I think this is one of those cases where we get the point you're making. We don't accept it, and we don't. I understand.
Tom Griswold
When you don't know why you have limited capacity to understand larger concepts.
Chick McGee
You really do think that.
Christy Lee
Oh, he does. Trust me.
Tom Griswold
Then the guy goes back to Ohio, to good old Westerville, to Otterbein Stadium, and sets the incredible record.
Chick McGee
Record with a slinky regular guy. A hundred thousand dollars a year to go to Yale, 53 stairs, a regular
Tom Griswold
guy, scholarship funds, and some guy like this, so. But I get the. The only reason I brought it back up is they do make Slinkies out of metal still, so.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's good to know.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And they were four bucks. It was pretty inexpensive. I was shocked.
Josh Arnold
Not bad.
Tom Griswold
But again, they're good for 10 minutes and then.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Tom Griswold
And the worst thing is, I was. This is one of those problems that I'm gonna. You say you want to speak in front of the Senate. I think. I think I should probably speak in front of the house. There are more people there to listen to me. All right, here's the problem. What about all those kids out there that get a Slinky?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And they live in a ranch home.
Josh Arnold
It's a sad thing.
Tom Griswold
We as a government.
Christy Lee
Happened to me when I was a kid.
Tom Griswold
We as a government need to give them homes with stairs.
Christy Lee
Had to go to grandma's and use her basement.
Tom Griswold
Even if they have a little brother like little Timmy. I know can't climb stairs. Well, Timmy, you're just gonna have to
Chick McGee
rough it because Timmy can't climb stairs.
Tom Griswold
We have to have stairs for the Slinky program.
Josh Arnold
Or Timmy has to stop a Slinky in a roller skate for his ramp.
Chick McGee
Cause of the crutch. Right?
Joe Walsh
Yeah.
Chick McGee
That's what I thought.
Josh Arnold
Yes. The Unstairs is a very important charity,
Tom Griswold
and if you buy a Slinky, there's now the. The lawyers out there. There's a warning on them says, this toy may not be much fun if you live in a ranch house.
Josh Arnold
Remember, accidentally.
Tom Griswold
They don't want to get sued.
Josh Arnold
Remember accidentally ripping out your arm hair with a toy?
Christy Lee
I was Exactly. I was saying the exact same thing. I thought that's where he was going,
Josh Arnold
like, oh, I'm gonna put this around my wrist. That's the last time I do that.
Tom Griswold
See, they have to have a warning for that, too. Do not put around your wrist. If you live in a ranch home. Don't buy this and then sue us because you can't play Play with it. It's, again, minutes of fun.
Josh Arnold
Okay, sorry, but I say those minutes add up. It's 10 minutes of fun every month. So. Because every now and again, you go, let's break out the Slinky real quick and just give this a shot.
Tom Griswold
The other thing is, you get that kink in the Slinky. It's like a. It's like. It's like future training for a garden hose. You get a kinky Slinky when you get the garden hose, oh, look how nice it coils up. And then two weeks later, there's no way you can.
Josh Arnold
I don't think.
Chick McGee
I don't think I'm in the minority when I say I. I couldn't get my Slinky to go downstairs. No way, no how. It wouldn't do it. Tried and tried and tried.
Christy Lee
Yeah. You just gotta start.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Josh Arnold
A kink in the Slinky and a chunk out of the Super Bowl. Those were always.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
Were you ever.
Josh Arnold
Did you ever have that odd urge to bite into your Super Bowl?
Christy Lee
No.
Chick McGee
No one?
Tom Griswold
No.
Christy Lee
Is that how you got chunks out of yours?
Chick McGee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
Because I couldn't control myself. I had to bite the Super Bowl.
Tom Griswold
Did it look like a candy bar or something?
Josh Arnold
It had nothing to do with eating. It really didn't have anything to do with eating some kind of chocolate. It had to do with the sensation of your teeth sinking into the Super Bowl. I promise I'm not alone on this.
Tom Griswold
Save this for your therapist.
Josh Arnold
We're gonna get letters about, yes, I loved biting the Super Bowl. It's kind of like biting into a Styrofoam cup. Do you ever get that urge.
Christy Lee
Oh, yeah, I've done that. Sure.
Josh Arnold
Yes. What, you never just bit into your Styrofoam cup and tore it?
Christy Lee
Well, I didn't tear it off.
Josh Arnold
You wouldn't great White it.
Tom Griswold
What.
Pat Godwin
How hungry you as a kid?
Tom Griswold
What.
Pat Godwin
How hungry were you as a child?
Josh Arnold
It wasn't as much hunger as it was. We had no money.
Tom Griswold
Does it have the mouth feel of a Kit Kat?
Josh Arnold
It has a great biting into Styrofoam. Has a great mouth feel.
Christy Lee
This is great. But I have really crooked teeth. Look at that.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow. Well, in any event, the letters will pour in.
Chick McGee
I promise you.
Tom Griswold
People that bite on Super Balls.
Josh Arnold
Yep.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Christy Lee
And then when you bite a chunk
Josh Arnold
out of it, I'll say this.
Christy Lee
Does it bounce funny?
Josh Arnold
Oh, yes. I mean, and that was kind of fun too. You'd bounce it and go completely sideways and hit a framed picture. And my gosh that was a sweet.
Chick McGee
Let the sweet begin.
Tom Griswold
I see. Well, is that sports?
Chick McGee
The UK's famous cheese rolling competition was won by a German YouTuber for the third year in a row.
Josh Arnold
Well, he's out.
Chick McGee
The unusual event had been celebrated for hundreds of years. Thought to have had its roots in a heathen festival to celebrate the return of spring. The cheese chased 200 yards down 1 to 2 ratio gradient hill, whatever that is.
Josh Arnold
Tom, it's an insanely steep hill.
Chick McGee
Crazy steep.
Josh Arnold
Like people fall.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, yeah. They broken legs, they get really badly hurt.
Chick McGee
24 year old YouTuber Tom Kopke, Officer Kopki beat the 38 year old local hero Chris Anderson at the annual Cooper's Hill cheese rolling event. Koepke told reporters afterwards, if that hill is hell, I'm the devil. Anderson, who had been tempted out of retirement by the challenge from Kopke, still went home with a round of cheese. His 11 year old son William won one of the children's uphill races.
Christy Lee
That didn't sound fun, does it?
Josh Arnold
Ah, the Sisyphus trophy.
Chick McGee
Pushing the cheese up the hill.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Any video of this because. Oh, here we go. There's a whole group of people.
Josh Arnold
Oh, it looks like Braveheart.
Chick McGee
It's just nuts. Look at him.
Josh Arnold
Oh, they are falling hard.
Chick McGee
They immediately start falling.
Pat Godwin
Not even anywhere near it.
Josh Arnold
And it's not smooth ground either. I mean, not only is it a hill, it's divity and lumpy.
Christy Lee
I'd break an ankle.
Josh Arnold
It's hilarious.
Chick McGee
They're off the course.
Tom Griswold
Is it all guys?
Christy Lee
Looks like it. It.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
I guess the women have more sense.
Christy Lee
Women have more sense.
Tom Griswold
Oh, look at that. One guy got up immediately holding his arms.
Josh Arnold
If it's broken, he was holding his wrist like it. It was broke.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
There's your. And they. The winning prize is a thing of cheese. I've got a feeling there's a lot of drinking at this event. Anyone want to weigh in on that?
Josh Arnold
I would hope so.
Tom Griswold
Be the only reason to do this.
Josh Arnold
They should mix this with the running of the bulls.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yes. No, have the bulls go downhill if
Tom Griswold
you want to go to the next real Jason. That's the wheelchair division. It's tragic, really, it's.
Josh Arnold
Oh, look at that. Oh, yeah, That's a lot of bent metal.
Tom Griswold
Looks like that painting of the girl in the farm field.
Josh Arnold
You'll have to remind me of what?
Chick McGee
Yeah, what we're pulling about there.
Tom Griswold
Well, when we come back.
Chick McGee
Oh, we're.
Tom Griswold
Is that. Does that complete our sports?
Chick McGee
We're coming back.
Tom Griswold
I think that was a healthy sports broadcast.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
Got on a few things.
Chick McGee
Yeah, we did it all, man.
Tom Griswold
Very good. We felt some feels look forward to that. We have coming up. Did you see this thing on TV about the so called pet translator where you can put this thing on your dog and careful what you wish for. It'll tell you what your dog is saying.
Chick McGee
Not the buttons, but there's some sort of. It goes on their collar.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. It looks like a, like an invisible fence thing.
Chick McGee
But so when they bark they're.
Tom Griswold
Then it'll tell you what your dog's.
Christy Lee
What's your dog saying?
Tom Griswold
What's your dog saying? And now this is brand new.
Josh Arnold
I'm very sc.
Tom Griswold
This is what may be the dumbest use of so called AI technology. We'll find out if it works. I'm very excited. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Christy Lee
Hello, Chick.
Chick McGee
Hello. There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Hello. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
The texts are rolling in. People want to bite things.
Christy Lee
That's right.
Chick McGee
They want to bite him. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.
Christy Lee
You're not biting me.
Chick McGee
People are biting people.
Josh Arnold
And actually
Tom Griswold
once again we were discussing toys and the amazing new world record with the Slinky. Amazing. Great amount of American. Just a regular Joe Medical student at Yale University. Right on the Ivy League. The nice fun. World record of the world record for a Slinky going down the stairs. Was it 53 steps? I forgot. Yes, but I forget. This led us to a discussion of great to be 30 of great toys. The Slinky fun for just a few minutes.
Christy Lee
Josh brought up the super.
Tom Griswold
You mentioned the super bowl and you
Josh Arnold
like the kink in the Slinky was always a problem. And a chunk being taken out of the super bowl was always a problem. And that was a problem with me because I like to bite. The Super Bowl. There was something very satisfying about it.
Tom Griswold
Did it have a taste?
Josh Arnold
I mean rubber ball. I mean it wasn't like biting into an eraser. It was like, like that kind of rub.
Tom Griswold
Were you breastfed on falsies?
Josh Arnold
I was not breastfed.
Tom Griswold
This explains it then. Maybe the, the rubbery latexy taste of a Super bowl reminded you of the artificial teat that you suckled on as a youth.
Josh Arnold
I think you can attempt to explore the origin of it.
Tom Griswold
I think this is astute psychological analysis.
Josh Arnold
Right, Right. But I think it's simpler than that. I think it just felt kind of good. And same with biting into Styrofoam. Jason writes in. He says he always has the urge to bite into a Nerf football. And I get that too.
Christy Lee
Oh, I can see that.
Josh Arnold
You guys get that.
Tom Griswold
Not at all.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, there's a satisfying thing.
Tom Griswold
Does it remind you of angel food cake?
Christy Lee
What? No.
Josh Arnold
Again, it's not a food thing.
Chick McGee
Hang on. It reminds you of really awful angel food cake.
Josh Arnold
Well, you can. That's redundant. You can just say angel food cake.
Chick McGee
Are you kidding?
Josh Arnold
Not at all. Angel food cake has no place in my.
Chick McGee
As a dessert at all.
Christy Lee
Wait a minute, Tom. I'm gonna defend you. I like angel food cake, especially with strawberries on it.
Tom Griswold
Oh, my God.
Josh Arnold
80% air and it may as well be a vegetable. There's barely any cake in there.
Tom Griswold
Wow. It is delicious.
Josh Arnold
It's not delicious. It sucks.
Tom Griswold
That is not a hill to die on.
Josh Arnold
I'm not dying on it. I'm just giving you my opinion.
Tom Griswold
Or to diet on. Have you noticed that we've gotten him off topic? It's my favorite thing. You were saying. What again?
Josh Arnold
He, he doesn't.
Chick McGee
Oh, no.
Josh Arnold
Not only does he no longer belong on the radio. No, he no longer belongs to. Around any other people.
Chick McGee
Interactions with people. Yeah, I, I, I, I agree.
Josh Arnold
Was this the goal? Growing up to be completely impossible to. Yes, I'm getting.
Tom Griswold
Yes, I'm getting. I'm getting back at the world.
Christy Lee
Yeah, we know what happened, but we weren't there in high school. We didn't bully you.
Josh Arnold
Right. We are paying the price. We are atoning for other people's sins.
Christy Lee
Exactly. Exactly.
Josh Arnold
But Styrofoam is amazing. Says J.C. i've always.
Chick McGee
Jesus Christ wrote us.
Josh Arnold
Now listen to this. I've always wanted to sink my teeth into my wife's calf, but she won't let me. I also get that you like to bite.
Christy Lee
Are you a biter?
Josh Arnold
If requested. Okay, but I'm not breaking skin.
Chick McGee
Yeah, yeah. I was gonna say you're un nibbler.
Josh Arnold
But just biting into a calf, that's pretty hot.
Christy Lee
Okay.
Josh Arnold
If she Likes it. If she doesn't like it, I. I'm not into it.
Chick McGee
Well, she. If she doesn't like it, she'll learn to like it.
Tom Griswold
But getting back to biting into Styrofoam and a rubber ball, you have.
Josh Arnold
You don't have any of that. Do you Bite your stir sticks.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Josh Arnold
To feel that tension of wood in your teeth.
Tom Griswold
Yes.
Josh Arnold
There's a slight spring you.
Tom Griswold
Yes, I've been. I prefer the. In fact, my favorite coffee place dropped the. They dropped the sticks. They've got those little plastic straws.
Josh Arnold
Well, you.
Tom Griswold
Oh, this may be the end.
Josh Arnold
You chew on the plastic. Let's say. You know those green plastic things that come in a Starbucks lid.
Pat Godwin
I think people that chew on anything, like may say a guitar pick or
Tom Griswold
something all day long. I do.
Chick McGee
The place you went still had wooden stir stuff sticks.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
And now they've gotten rid of them.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, last week.
Josh Arnold
That's surprising.
Christy Lee
Yeah, that is surprising. Usually it's the other way around.
Chick McGee
Seems like it's plastic to wood landscape for lawsuits and splinters.
Josh Arnold
Plastic.
Tom Griswold
No. I don't know. Between that and the three homeless guys that are always there, I think I may go to a different place.
Josh Arnold
What about biting into a pencil? Do you guys like that?
Christy Lee
I used to do that when I was. I don't have a pencil anymore, but.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think that's a select group. The pencil blader and the.
Chick McGee
Yeah, sounds like a horrible. You. Pencil biter are people that chew on
Christy Lee
the caps of pens. Remember those big pens that would have.
Pat Godwin
I did all of that.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. It sounds like if you're biting into balls and everything. You know what I mean? Not.
Christy Lee
Not super balls.
Chick McGee
Not scrotum.
Christy Lee
No.
Chick McGee
You like your balls bitten, Tom. Gently, gently. Kind of nod out of love.
Tom Griswold
Of course not.
Chick McGee
By the way, maybe a nice candle coming up.
Tom Griswold
Did anybody see. What's the guy's name? The. The guitar. Help me here. Pat, the guitarist for King Crimson. Oh, Frip. Yes, the great Robert Fripp. Did anybody see the.
Josh Arnold
Why would we have seen anything with Robert?
Pat Godwin
He's on the social media.
Chick McGee
Why?
Tom Griswold
Because.
Chick McGee
Why in God's name.
Tom Griswold
Here's the story. I just have found the story. Robert Fripp is a really interesting guy.
Chick McGee
Here we go.
Tom Griswold
Great guitarist, one of the greats. He has a series of videos with his wife and she's really funny.
Chick McGee
Frida.
Tom Griswold
Frida.
Chick McGee
Frip. Free to Frip.
Tom Griswold
Here's the headline. Robert Fripp unsure why hospital shaved his testicles after heart attack.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
This is from a source called Stereo Gum. Gum. Or sterile gum. I know what this means. Robert Fripp, founding member of the band King Crimson, is trying to figure out why his testicles were shaved after he was hospitalized for a heart attack. Mr. Fripp suffered the heart attack in Italy last year. He appears to have made a full recovery, but he has questions about his care. The 80 year old posted a video blog wherein he remarked. You're concerned with my heart. Fine. What are you doing? Shaving my balls.
Josh Arnold
Well, if they went up through the
Christy Lee
groin, they need a catheterization, right?
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Both Chick and I have had that done. And when I had it done, they shaved the inner upper thigh.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. Why would they do the testicles?
Christy Lee
Maybe he had hairy testicles.
Josh Arnold
I don't believe them. They didn't. The guy, you think he did it
Christy Lee
just to get publicity?
Chick McGee
This is some padding of some medical bill somewhere. Is that what you.
Josh Arnold
No, I think he went. He knows he's on social media and he went, hey, they shaved my balls. Meaning they shaved his groin. Okay, this frip is full of crap.
Tom Griswold
I'm.
Chick McGee
You know what he's doing?
Christy Lee
He hasn't been in the news 60 years.
Chick McGee
You know what he's doing? He's being flippant.
Josh Arnold
He is flipping frip.
Tom Griswold
Flip, flipping, fripping. Maybe they had a special offer at this Italian hospital. A free ball shave with every stent. I don't know.
Josh Arnold
So there's no answer in this story?
Tom Griswold
No, he was just asking.
Josh Arnold
And that made. And some magazine we're talking about it.
Chick McGee
It's a huge story.
Tom Griswold
You know, it's above the headline. No, no. That says latest peace proposal rejected by the Iranians.
Chick McGee
Robert. Robert Fripp comments on his scrotum. And the Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We'll be back.
Tom Griswold
I haven't seen this one.
Christy Lee
He.
Tom Griswold
They. They got very popular during COVID with some of these videos. They're very funny. If ever get a chance to see the guy live. He's astonishing. Great guitar player.
Christy Lee
He's 80, isn't he?
Tom Griswold
He's 80.
Christy Lee
Something like that.
Josh Arnold
King Crimson get radio play one song. Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
When you say Ace, which one? Court of the Crimson King. Is that Greg Lake singing that?
Josh Arnold
I don't think so.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. Yeah, I. That's the one I remember playing.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha.
Tom Griswold
It's got what's certainly one of the best album covers of all time.
Josh Arnold
That cartoony.
Tom Griswold
That cartoony face. Yeah, that's great.
Josh Arnold
Does that album. Do I need to listen to that album front to back?
Tom Griswold
I'd have to find my friend. That could get you a lot of really good marijuana. Oh, no. He's a great player unlike anyone else. He's really good. Yeah. I don't know why this. This was everywhere yesterday. May I? Maybe I have peculiar parameters that I get fed head.
Christy Lee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
But. Wow. Now, Pat, you were saying the last time you had your ball shaved, you were the dentist.
Pat Godwin
Yeah. I thought that was kind of odd.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Knocking me out. I wake up undressed, shorn.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But it felt good, right?
Pat Godwin
It did.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
There's a cavity near there.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
Tell me he's gonna feel a little prick. I didn't know what that meant.
Tom Griswold
Now, when we come back, Pat, I have a request for a song from you. All right. And I also want to reiterate, Patty G, this is very exciting. Is having some serious surgery.
Chick McGee
Very, very serious.
Tom Griswold
You're gonna be fine. But this is gonna be your last live show in Kalamazoo, Michigan, coming up this Saturday.
Pat Godwin
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It'll be at a place called Shakespeare's Pub.
Pat Godwin
Shakespeare's Pub.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Let's get everybody over there. If you're in the central Michigan area, get on over there to see Pat. I'm not saying it could be your last show ever.
Pat Godwin
I'm glad you're not saying that.
Chick McGee
No procedure.
Tom Griswold
My. One of my friends went to see Elvis. Turned out to be his last show.
Chick McGee
Forget about procedure talk. But it could be his last show ever.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
So come out for that reason.
Chick McGee
He could get hit by a truck.
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
You know.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
I could be driving that truck. I could have had it. I run him down in the street. That could happen.
Tom Griswold
So please, go see Pat. It'll be great. Now, what else is happening? Coming up, Christie.
Christy Lee
Coming up, we're going to talk about fantasies. We're going to talk about AI Pet Translators. We got a new electric car that you're going to be interested in.
Tom Griswold
The fantasy thing is an interesting. The essence of it is in the throes of the most intimate activities. Are you thinking, Josh, about the person you're with or about someone else?
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Tom Griswold
And they've done some survey questions.
Josh Arnold
Okay.
Tom Griswold
And the results are quite interesting. Interesting. We'll find out about that. But first, Christy, how'd you get here to work?
Christy Lee
Ah, hitchhiked. I did not hitchhike. Not this time.
Chick McGee
You know who picks up hitchhikers?
Christy Lee
I know. Tom. He picked me up.
Tom Griswold
I picked up that guy over the week.
Christy Lee
Yeah, I know. No, I drove my Tucson hybrid because I love the Hyundai hybrids. That's right. The SUVs are amazing. The Tucson Hybrid. And all of them come with America's best warranty. 10 year, 100,000 miles powertrain protection.
Chick McGee
You know, I gotta look at that in the driveway out here in the parking lot. I might have to dry that for a couple months.
Christy Lee
Sure, why not? Thanks, girl. Can I trade you for the other one that you're driving?
Chick McGee
No, no, no, no. I want them all.
Josh Arnold
Yeah,
Christy Lee
you want all the cars.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Christy Lee
All right. If you need something a little bit bigger, I call the Tucson Hybrid more of a crossover. It sits more lower like a sedan, but it does have the cargo room. The Santa Fe sits up a little higher, has more cargo room and power to take off roading, if you will. Hybrids from Hyundai. They are available@HyundaiUSA.com they have all the information. You can call them at 562-314-4603 or visit your local Hyundai dealer. They also come with a three year 36,000 mile limited maintenance, which was awesome because I could go in and get my oil changed, the tires rotated, didn't cost me a thing. Check them out. Hyundai.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. Christy Lee. Don't forget about that great gas mileage. Oh yeah, and remember at the Indy 500 that hybrid switch came in very handy. I was just trying to think of this Robert Fripp chick plays on David Bowie. Heroes. I know that's a, that's a record you like.
Josh Arnold
He's not listening to you.
Chick McGee
I do like Heroes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, well, I'm just trying to. I'm trying to bring it him. Bring it all back home.
Chick McGee
Wasn't. Although the man to my enjoyment.
Joe Walsh
No, no.
Tom Griswold
Brilliant musician. Maestro Frip, I like to call him.
Chick McGee
Is that right? I, well, I did not know he was.
Tom Griswold
You should read. He's a really, really bright, very odd, weird guy. You'd love him. He's right up your alley.
Chick McGee
Like Brighton weird nod.
Tom Griswold
And he's a Brit, so he's got English. Three of your favorite things. Coming up, we're going to talk with Ali Breen who I think is in England today. Is that right?
Chick McGee
I believe so.
Tom Griswold
It'll be sexy time. When we come back, we're going to hear from Patty G. Also coming up today we're going to talk with Kenny Wayne Shepard, guitar slinger, a great guitar player as well. That's all on the way. Here 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. At the news desk it's Christy Lee. Howdy Howdy do? There's Pat Godwin. Hello, hello, hello. Hello. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi there.
Chick McGee
There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello. Tom.
Tom Griswold
Once again, we were talking about the fine guitarist Robert Fripp. Yes, Mr. Fripp in the news because once again, he had heart surgery and he's got a so called vlog. A video blog, if you will.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
About asking. Asking why were his testicles or his scrotal area shaved during a heart procedure?
Josh Arnold
Why did this happen?
Tom Griswold
And you guys don't remember who he is? A great guitarist. You want. You'd never have heard the Court of the Crimson King.
Josh Arnold
I have heard that song, but I've never listened to that whole album.
Chick McGee
I've heard that title. I've never.
Tom Griswold
Okay, here's a little bit of it.
Christy Lee
The Keeper of the God.
Ali Breen
Okay.
Tom Griswold
See, to me, you know, this sounds like Jack, Like Jack Black.
Pat Godwin
Is that a joke?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, it sounds like Jack Black. Joking.
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Tom Griswold
But that's, that is Greg Lake.
Josh Arnold
Oh, okay.
Tom Griswold
Of Emerson, Lake and Palmer. And he ended up doing that live show with Asia. Greg. Great bass player, great guitarist, great singer.
Christy Lee
I think all the years I did classic rock, I skipped that song.
Josh Arnold
There's a very thin membrane for me where there's some prog rock I just love. And then you slip through that membrane. It becomes way too nerdy that, like
Christy Lee
that I have to listen to the ball.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You really didn't give it a fair shake, but yes, Mr. Fripp, once again in the news.
Chick McGee
Wait a minute. We didn't. We're not giving it a fair shake right now. Is that your contention?
Tom Griswold
Well, well, first of all, isn't it
Christy Lee
like 18 minutes long?
Tom Griswold
I was just gonna say the vocal just kicked in and we're like four minutes in.
Christy Lee
Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's really, I mean, we can start at the beginning if you like.
Josh Arnold
Godwin, Were you familiar with Frip?
Pat Godwin
I, I follow him on social media. He and his wife have a show. They, they, they fix up old houses.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Tom Griswold
Frip?
Pat Godwin
This house you've probably seen.
Chick McGee
Yeah, this is the theme music. So, yeah, they're presented by some insurance company. Jesus.
Tom Griswold
See, it kicks in there. When they get to the line of the court, they go. The court of the Crimson came in. It just kicks in and it's great.
Pat Godwin
What's it about, 18 minutes?
Chick McGee
You know what? Let's, you know what? Let's hear it kick in. Where it's really great. I, I, I'm honestly, I'm curious. Okay. Oh my God.
Josh Arnold
Is that The Mellow Tron.
Chick McGee
I think it sounds like it's spinning every now and then when they play it or something.
Tom Griswold
You like this part?
Josh Arnold
Maybe in the context of the whole.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, there you go again. This goes way back.
Chick McGee
Yeah. You know what?
Tom Griswold
Early 70s, whatever.
Chick McGee
We're not giving it a fair shot.
Josh Arnold
This album came out in 69.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Josh Arnold
Isn't that shocking?
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's kind of pre Pink Floydy. Oh, there you go. Couldn't this be Pink Floyd right here?
Josh Arnold
I mean, I might be in. I'm going to have to listen to this whole thing. I like Emerson, Leg and Palmer. I like Floyd. I like.
Chick McGee
I like French fries. I like baked potatoes.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, yeah. This might be something I enjoy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. And this was one of those record albums you could clean pot on. I understand.
Chick McGee
You know, though, the thing that's impressing me is that I'm not hearing. Hearing the great Robert Fripp, like, jump out of the speakers.
Tom Griswold
We haven't gotten to that part yet.
Christy Lee
Oh, okay. Did you have a guitar solo?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
What does he order at Starbucks, Christy?
Christy Lee
A Frappuccino.
Tom Griswold
Oh, they got one named after him. That's so convenient.
Chick McGee
Christie's jumping in with a Frappuccino.
Josh Arnold
Didn't he go on tour with Brian Wilson for a while? A Frip Wilson.
Chick McGee
Is that right?
Pat Godwin
I didn't see that coming.
Tom Griswold
That is that. That brings joy to my heart. And by the way, White, what happened to Flint? Flip Wilson has really gotten a raw deal.
Josh Arnold
Flip Wilson was as funny as anybody.
Christy Lee
He was so funny.
Chick McGee
Wonderful.
Tom Griswold
He's lost in the shuffle.
Christy Lee
Yeah. You don't.
Tom Griswold
No one ever talks about how great he was at his own TV show, Prime time.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
He was. Three networks, I think those who know, know.
Chick McGee
Yep.
Josh Arnold
If you know, you know.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, but he just sort of got. I don't know. Is it. Was he Politically Incorrect or something?
Josh Arnold
I. I want to say it was Roy Wood, Jr. Who suggested. I mean, there really was. There really is a backlash against a black guy in a dress. And he kind of explained that a little bit to us.
Chick McGee
Oh.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay.
Josh Arnold
And then Tyler Perry does it all the time. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's changed that, of course.
Chick McGee
Do you remember. I know. We. The older ones. The devil made me do it.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Chick McGee
That was Geraldine.
Josh Arnold
I've only seen clips and stuff. Yeah. But they're always amazing.
Tom Griswold
Very funny. Okay. I'm sorry, Pat. We had a story yesterday that you. I know, wanted to take off on. This was.
Pat Godwin
Oh, the guy at the French Open.
Tom Griswold
At the French Open. And the essence of it was one of the players was having a, let's just say a gastro issue. And he really had to go to the bathroom. And the way the rules work is you can't just, right in the middle of things, get up and leave. However, he was able to explain to the. The judge that this was a matter that could not wait, if you will. So he. A 21 year old. His name was Arthur. Gia, I believe. Gia. I'm not sure how you pronounce, but
Pat Godwin
he's 21 now, at my age, if I were in a game like that, I'd have to leave a couple times. Oh, no, really, all of us men over 50 would agree that we have this issue and that inspired this, which is a Pat Godwin tribute.
Chick McGee
Ah.
Pat Godwin
I've done a parody of a. Of a Tim Cavanaugh song, but I've never done a parody of one of my own songs, you know. Smells like weed, right?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Pat Godwin
I took a little twist on it. Everywhere I go I have to pee. Every hour or so is guaranteed. I spent half the day at the lava tree. Everywhere I go I have to pee. Oh, you know, I do two times a night or sometimes three. In my dreams I'm taking a pee. My prostate's the size of Tennessee. Everywhere I go I have to pee. I was a bedwetter. I blame it on my Irish setter. I grew up with frustration. Now it's the constant feeling of urination. The constant feeling of urination. When I take a plane, I get an aisle seat. I don't drink. Oh, I don't eat. I screwed up one. Sand hatchablis all fly long. I had to pee. The pool or my pants, I have to pee. Maybe I shouldn't drink so much tea.
Tom Griswold
Thank you very much. It would appear from, by the way, from this story from the Associated Press, that the gentleman at the French Open tennis tournament Sunday did not have to pee. No, it was apparently of a more serious order.
Chick McGee
A major transaction.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. So in. In. In the, in the parlance of tennis, I believe it was deuce.
Chick McGee
Now, are you just saying that or that's actually the report.
Tom Griswold
No, it's quite clear that it was.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
Number two, The umpire. It says here the umpire allowed it due to medical circumstances.
Chick McGee
Well, how does it say how long he was gone?
Josh Arnold
No, I mean, he threatened to do it right there, didn't he? Didn't tell the guy, hey, I'm going to have to go.
Chick McGee
He said I was going to go on the court. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
He said to the chair umpire in French, I need to go to the Bathroom. I can't move anymore. I'm going to go on the court. Yeah, but that would have been.
Josh Arnold
Aren't.
Chick McGee
Isn't everyone different as far as that major transaction? Some people take longer than other people.
Tom Griswold
My guess is this was an immediate evacuation. He had a gastro issue, so. And typically at the French Open you wear white. Of course.
Josh Arnold
Boy, that would have been bad.
Tom Griswold
Extra unpleasant.
Josh Arnold
Were you playing on clay? No, no, that's all me.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry. Have we finished our sports broadcast? I guess we have.
Chick McGee
I. Yeah, honey, about half hour ago. I'm sorry I slipped and called you honey. Some of our private lives sneaking out on the air.
Tom Griswold
I'm sorry, I wasn't listening. Kristi Lee's over there at the Bob and Tom news desk. What are you going.
Christy Lee
Fantasizing about someone other than your partner doing sex may be more common than you think. Researchers say it does not automatically signal problems though in a relationship. In this new study, scientists surveyed nearly 55 or 550 people in committed sexual relationships and found that sexual fantasies often vary depending on the situation. During self pleasure, more than half fantasized about someone other than their partner, while about a quarter focused only on their partner.
Josh Arnold
Ah, yes.
Tom Griswold
And hold on a minute. So during self pleasure, a quarter were thinking about their partner.
Christy Lee
A half. We're thinking about someone else.
Tom Griswold
So where's the other 25?
Christy Lee
That's what I said. What are the other 25% thinking of?
Tom Griswold
Probably cool cars,
Christy Lee
maybe during sex with their partner. About 35% said they thought only about their partner, while roughly 40% reported thinking about someone else at least some of the time.
Chick McGee
Would that be considered again? We have multitasking, I would think.
Tom Griswold
No, you're.
Chick McGee
You're kind of busy and then you.
Josh Arnold
Why can't you multitask? I can. Last night I was banging you and thinking about your sister. That didn't help this argument, did it?
Tom Griswold
Let me ask. And why the hell did Shout out yes, I love you, Girth master. Where'd you learn that?
Chick McGee
Here's a conundrum. Would you trade if your significant other could always read your mind and hear your thoughts for millions and millions of dollars?
Josh Arnold
No.
Tom Griswold
Never.
Chick McGee
No.
Josh Arnold
Because even you can't help your thoughts sometimes. And even. Even it would take a very.
Chick McGee
A very special relationship.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
No one really understands you.
Chick McGee
I was just joking in my mind when I said that.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
It's impossible.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Christy Lee
No, that's.
Chick McGee
It's probably best. People can't read your mind.
Christy Lee
Wasn't there a movie where Mel Gibson
Josh Arnold
could read every Woman's what women want.
Ali Breen
Right.
Josh Arnold
And then they made what men want. Yeah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
I want to see the movie what Dog. Dogs want.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
And that's coming up.
Christy Lee
Yeah, but.
Tom Griswold
But first, I want to get back to this for just one second. Could you. What was the last set of stats there?
Christy Lee
Well, see, once again, we have a discrepancy because 35% thought about their partner during sex. 40% reported thinking about someone else at least some of the time. So once again, we have 25% of the people. Did they just simply not take the survey or.
Josh Arnold
A lot of those surveys also say,
Christy Lee
I don't know, I don't want to respond
Chick McGee
plus or minus 3% or something.
Tom Griswold
I wondered. So do people think. I wish they'd been more clear. Are people thinking about like, I don't know, movie stars or porno people?
Josh Arnold
I don't know, exes. I mean, that could be a thing. Co workers.
Christy Lee
Do you ever think of people but they have no face?
Josh Arnold
Like, I know a lot of women who do that.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
What?
Josh Arnold
I don't know any guys who do that.
Christy Lee
Oh, really?
Chick McGee
I. Yeah, yeah.
Christy Lee
Women are very known for doing that.
Chick McGee
Or just a part of the body. Yeah. What?
Christy Lee
Yes, they really do.
Josh Arnold
They just think about a sort of a faceless lover.
Christy Lee
Absolutely.
Josh Arnold
Now, it's not like you're looking at somebody and they have like a, you know, a call. No, but they.
Christy Lee
Yeah, but it's not someone you can identify or.
Tom Griswold
Right. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
I don't think guys do that.
Christy Lee
I think guys have to have zero in on someone.
Josh Arnold
Right.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Let's see. The percentage of people that would like to fill out this survey in front of their significant.
Christy Lee
Yeah, it'd be totally different.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. This is. This would be a huge argument.
Christy Lee
This is a fight starter.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know the answer to anything, but. Yeah, there seems to be a lot of non answers on this thing.
Josh Arnold
I'm grateful. I think every. I'm pretty focused on who's with me.
Christy Lee
As you should be.
Pat Godwin
Yeah, you know, it works for me.
Christy Lee
What?
Pat Godwin
I think I'm someone else.
Christy Lee
Really?
Tom Griswold
It works.
Christy Lee
I think you're. What, Rob Lowe, or call me Jerome.
Tom Griswold
Is it okay if I finish thinking about Gilligan from Gilligan's Island?
Chick McGee
He's. Well, yeah, I think so.
Josh Arnold
Why not? Do you ask her to hit. Hit you with her hat?
Chick McGee
What's the Gladys ormf me from laughing.
Tom Griswold
I know there's. There's that old. The old setup. What is it again? Something like. With a couple. You'd say, okay, you're allowed to have one.
Chick McGee
Oh, free pass or whatever.
Tom Griswold
Free pass. But it has to be somebody famous, right?
Joe Walsh
Right.
Tom Griswold
And what are they? There's Africa.
Josh Arnold
Hall Pass.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. And then apparently there's a new movie about that.
Josh Arnold
Oh, there's also a 10 year old movie called Hall Pass.
Tom Griswold
Okay. I guess there's all. There's one that just came out.
Josh Arnold
Gotcha.
Tom Griswold
That same.
Chick McGee
I would bring up a couple on stage during the comedy tour and I would ask the, the wife, the, the girl and relate. Do you have a celebrity that you would like to, you know? And they would always Ryan Gosling or Brad Pitt or then I'd ask the gentleman, which one of your wife's friends do you want? And they just love. Yeah, the guy that wasn't.
Tom Griswold
And every. Every once. So there'd be a guy stupid enough to answer.
Chick McGee
Oh yeah, absolutely.
Tom Griswold
That's going to be a long car ride home.
Christy Lee
Wow.
Tom Griswold
Not a good idea. Yikes. What's coming up, Christy Lee? I know we got sexy time with Ali Breen. We're going to talk with Kenny Wayne shepherd about the project he's got going on.
Christy Lee
And normally at the next break we talk about history. I don't know if you want to do that or not, but.
Tom Griswold
What day is today? I'll find something.
Christy Lee
Today's May 27th.
Tom Griswold
Right now I want to tell you about something. The reality of the world right now with respect to owning a home. If you own your own house, house, you may have noticed that or heard anyway that it's probably worth a lot more than it was just a few years ago. The stats are kind of staggering. For whatever reason houses are, they've more or less doubled in price in the last 10 years. So if you, if you had a house you bought 10 years ago, it's probably worth a lot more now. In the last five years they've gone up 40 to 50% on average. May not apply to you, but it's certainly worth looking into because you can take advantage of that equity. Equity without actually selling your house. Because if you sell your house, well, all the boats are rising at the same as the sea goes up, as they say. So.
Chick McGee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
If you want to buy a new one, it's also going to cost more. But the point of this is you can actually pull some of that equity out by refinancing your house and use some of that cash for whatever you want to use it for, which might mean a new kitchen, I don't know, a new whatever you're into. A new patio, maybe a nice car, getting Rid of those high, high bills that you're paying on your credit card, the high interest rates, et cetera, et cetera. This is what they do at American Financing. They're called America's Home. For home loans, they can tell you in about 10 minutes if doing a refi would help you out. For example, their average client right now has knocked about 800 bucks a month off their mortgage payment. They're also, they have a program, at least for a limited time, that might work for you in which they can delay two mortgage payments. Only way to find out about this is just take a few minutes to talk to them. You can reach them at 866-889-2611. It's easier to remember this American financing.net and do me a favor and do it. BobandTom we gave you the tip on this. It might work for you. It obviously depends very specifically on your circumstance. But if you think you've got a lot of equity in that house you want to take advantage of, visit american financing.net nmls182334 nmlsconsumeraccess.org apr for rates in the fives start at 6.327% for well qualified borrowers.

Yeah, they do.
Chick McGee
Hump day.

Humpty.
Christy Lee
Humpty.
Chick McGee
I told you that. When we went over and we were on the set of a very low budget adult cinema, she was standing around naked. The guy was naked. And our producer at the time, Dean and I, we're, we're driving, we're standing around the water cooler having a bottle, you know, a bottle of water, just going, yeah. So I forget what was. It might have been the NCAA tournament. We're talking about basketball.
Josh Arnold
Very much a job, isn't it?
Chick McGee
Yep. The Human mind takes away some of the.
Tom Griswold
Do they. Do they have the. The. The bad porno music band right there on set?
Chick McGee
Oh, that'd be amazing playing the live band.
Tom Griswold
Wouldn't it be funny if during a porno they. The camera pans over and you've got the guy playing that, you know, bad version of Wawa guitar right there on the set. Let's see. Today in history. May 27th. Oh, I'm laughing already.
Chick McGee
27, you are wild Bill Hickok.

Christy Lee
It was the. I remember most from the Fly.

It was a nerd. Many, many, many.
Christy Lee
He was in many films, but yeah,
Tom Griswold
obviously a great voice and the voiceover in Thrillers.
Christy Lee

Christy Lee
Okay, see, I knew I shouldn't have mentioned.
Tom Griswold
Let's see. Oh, now here we go. This guy, genuine war hero, Christopher Lee. You know who he was, Christy?

Christy Lee
He died in 2015.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he was tall man and believe it or, he actually had a couple of Guinness World records of all random stuff for acting. Let's see, 1923, the birthday of Henry Kissinger. I always thought he'd be a Great Bond villain.
Josh Arnold
Mr. President.
Tom Griswold
We dealt with the security of the Middle East. No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die like
Josh Arnold
power is the ultimate.
Tom Griswold
Didn't he live to be a hundred or something?

Sorry, Josh, your tests are back and you have Dick Shift.
Christy Lee
Oh, I know who Shift is. I just never knew his name. Sorry, Mr. Shift.
Tom Griswold
Rafe's brother Joseph finds both good actors. Terrific actor. Okay, now this has his real name, which sounds like a Monty Python joke. His real name is. I'm not making this up. Joseph Alberic Twistleton Wykem Finds.
Josh Arnold
Wow. I don't know whether as British as I can.
Chick McGee
I don't know whether I like Twistletum or the other one.
Tom Griswold
Wykem.
Chick McGee
Wykem. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Why do they have so many names that sounds like.
Christy Lee
That sounds like royalty or do they
Tom Griswold
have sounds like a law firm?
Josh Arnold
If it's. If it's purely British, There's a lot of cousin names.
Chick McGee
Probably because they're such an old country. There's only. There's a limit to how many times you can use a name or amount
Josh Arnold
of inbreeding as well.
Chick McGee
Yeah, that's true.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But Al.
Chick McGee
Prince Charles's ears.
Tom Griswold
Alberic Twistleton W and Finds. Sounds like.
Josh Arnold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
I cannot afford them.
Christy Lee

Yeah. But back before he was 430 Rock. Yeah.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, here's an odd fact about him on this list. It says he's the 15th most popular graduate of the University of Evansville.
Christy Lee
Huh?
Josh Arnold
How about that?
Tom Griswold
You know who else is up there? The great Ron Glass.
Pat Godwin
Really?
Chick McGee
You really like him, don't you?
Tom Griswold
Ron Glass from Barney Miller. Love that.
Christy Lee
I did know that.
Chick McGee
Pedestrian at best.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no. Terrific.
Chick McGee
The nuanced, often mistaken for being absent.
Josh Arnold
I think he's in the original, it's,
Tom Griswold
oh, 1975. Happy birthday, Andre 3000. That's a. That family tree goes way back.
Josh Arnold
Remember what band he was a part of?
Tom Griswold
Outcast.
Josh Arnold
Heck yeah, man.
Chick McGee
Very good. What's your favorite Outcast song, Tom?
Tom Griswold
Hey.
Chick McGee
Hey.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yes, it is. You're right.
Christy Lee
That is the big one.
Chick McGee
Or I like the way you move. And I do like the way you move.
Tom Griswold
Okay. 1703St. Peter. St. Petersburg was founded by
Chick McGee
Peter, Peter.
Tom Griswold
Peter the Great.
Chick McGee
Yeah, well, I mean, actually, to his friends, he was Peter. Not so great.
Tom Griswold
I mean, it's pretty bold to name a town after yourself. I mean, having a kid and naming him after you is slightly. I don't know. What do you think?
Chick McGee
I thought you would have done narcissistic. Oh, no, no.
Joe Walsh
Do that.
Chick McGee
All right.
Tom Griswold
I don't recommend that.
Chick McGee
Call him tj.
Tom Griswold
I'll tell you why I don't recommend
Chick McGee
that one off the air.
Josh Arnold
The kid could be an embarrassment is
Tom Griswold
what he's afraid of. Oh, embarrassed. Wasn't embarrassing. But yeah. To name a city after you, that's. That's ballsy.
Christy Lee
A lot of people do that, don't they?
Tom Griswold
You, you'd want to have Christieberg.
Christy Lee
No, I wouldn't do it, but Joshville, Chicktown, Chick Town.
Chick McGee
Sounds cool.
Christy Lee
Chicktown Zone's fun.
Chick McGee
Chickville.
Tom Griswold
Golden Gate Bridge opened on the state in 1937 to pedestrian.
Christy Lee
Pedestrians. Ah, cars were the next day. Oh, that. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
An estimated 1700 people have jumped.
Christy Lee
How many?
Tom Griswold
Wow. 1700.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I would have guessed more, honestly.
Tom Griswold
Makes you rethink the beginning of those credits to Full House. If you look.
Josh Arnold
Whatever happened to predictability?
Tom Griswold
Has anybody ever aied that while that's playing they show someone jumping off? If they haven't, please do ruin your week.
Josh Arnold
Watch the documentary the Bridge about the Golden Gate Bridge.
Tom Griswold
Haven't they put nets up and right
Josh Arnold
off the bat they have topgolf nets. But.
Christy Lee
Well, how many people died building the bridge?
Josh Arnold
72.
Christy Lee
Really?
Josh Arnold
I have no idea.
Christy Lee
I would think.
Tom Griswold
Don't you think we're going to switch gears here? We're going to come back and talk with Kenny Wayne Shepard about his latest project, the great guitarist. Also coming up, sexy Time with Allie Breen right here. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.
Announcer
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
You.
Chick McGee
Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. At the news desk, it is Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Pack Godwin.
Tom Griswold
Hello.
Chick McGee
Hello. There's Josh Arnold.
Josh Arnold
Hi there.
Chick McGee
Ace Cosby's here. Hello, I'm Chick McGee. And hello, Tom.
Tom Griswold
Hello, Chick McGee. And hello, everybody. I think we're gonna hook up with the great guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepard. There he is on the big screen. A Kenny, on a serious note, I want to say you were a part of the services for Jimmy Ursay, and it was. That was masterful. I mean, you got up there by yourself and just. I mean, that was such a sad occasion. And your guitar did all the talking. I just want to say thank you on behalf of everybody there. That was brilliant.
Josh Arnold
I appreciate that.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
I was honored to have been asked by his family to do that. And Jim was a longtime friend. We were friends for over 20 years. And he was just one of the most interesting human beings that I ever met and had the biggest heart. And I just really admired that man. And we had some really great times together. So just a huge loss. I mean, we just. Just had the one year anniversary of his passing and it certainly, you know, brought up a lot of memories and I'm just grateful to have known him.
Tom Griswold
Just on a odd note, did you ever get to handle any of the cool guitars that you had in the collection?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Oh, yeah, like, very famously. I got to, as a matter of fact. So, like, well, you know, you may remember, but he put together the Jim Ursay Band. And so this is a thing that goes back 20 years, like to when they first won the super bowl in Miami. And so he threw a party the night before the super bowl down in Miami, where they were playing the Chicago Bears the year that the Colts won. And we had. He had a dinner party and then there was this spontaneous jam that happened. So, like, it was me, Kenny Arnoff, it was the core of the Joe Mercy band that did this tour with his collection years later, but me, Kenny Arnoff on drums, Stephen Stills, John Mellencamp, Mike Mills on Bass from R.E.M. like, and we just got up and just totally impromptu jammed for like, I don't even know, like an hour or two hours. And it was this incredible experience. And then the next day went to the super bowl and the Colts win. And it was this cool thing. And it kind of became this tradition when we would go to games and everybody would be there that we would get together and jam. And so years later, Jim decided he wanted to display his collection. And then he. It evolved into, like, we got to get the band together and do a concert. And so anyway, long story short, you know, we did two shows at Lucas Oil Stadium and we played many shows across the country and big venues and stuff. And in the middle of the show they would bring a number of those guitars out on stage and hand them to me and I would play them. So the, the coolest moment was they would bring the David Gilmour black Stratocaster to me and hand it to me and then we would play Comfortably Numb and I would get to play that song on that guitar. And I like to think that, you know, when Jim first bought the guitar, he bought it and at that time it was the most money ever paid for a guitar. It was like just under 4 million bucks. And then years later I play the guitar on tour for a couple of years and then it sells for a record 14 million. So I figure, you know, oh man, you added value.
Christy Lee
Kenny.
Tom Griswold
The Midas touch. We're speaking.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
I'm joking.
Tom Griswold
We're speaking with the great guitarist Kenny Wayne shepherd and you got a bunch of stuff going on. I know that you're going to be doing a tour all over the place, including overseas. You also, if I want to get this story right, you have gone back and visited one of your earlier projects again. Tell me about that. Exactly what, what did you do to it?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
So basically this, this is the 30 year anniversary of my debut album that Better Heights. So it's my first record. I recorded this album when I was 17 years old and it was released and you know, it did very well. It went on to go platinum, sold over a million copies. It l really put me on the map. And it's the music that introduced me and my band to the world and helped us establish this, this relationship with our fan base. It's been with us over three decades. So it's a special record. And so we did an anniversary edition of the album. We went in and re recorded it in the studio. Now we didn't. This is not a recreation of the original album, but we also didn't try and completely reinvent it. So it's like this is the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band of 2026 playing the songs that put Kenny Wayne Shepard on the map. 1996.
Tom Griswold
Is Noah singing now? Yeah.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
And so that's the one record that we had a different singer on the first album, Corey Sterling. And then we parted ways after that tour and that's when Noah Hunt and I got hooked up and he's been with me ever since. It's the one album in my entire catalog that he was not a part of. So it gave him an opportunity to Have a version with his voice on it. And a lot of fans have often wondered what that album may have sounded like if he had been in the band back then. So you have that.
Tom Griswold
That now I see. Now I. It's my understanding you're currently working on a covers album. Am I getting this right?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Yeah. So we're doing the tour for the 30th anniversary tour right now for Ledbetter Heights. And in between, like, when we have stops, I just bought a studio for myself here outside of Nashville. And so we've been jumping in the studio trying to finish up this cover album. And so it's not your average cover album.
Josh Arnold
Like, we.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Everybody mentions Kenny Wayne shepherd, and it's always blues guitarist, blues guitars. And, yes, we love the blues and we play the blues, but the blues has been, you know, always the foundation of my music. But I would say we really kind of straddled the line between blues and rock and roll. And so we did a rock and roll cover album just to remind everybody that we're also a rock band. And I chose songs deliberately that would be, like, outside the box. So if you saw the track listing, you would be like, what, Like, Kenny Wayne Shepherd's doing Billy Idol. Kenny Wayne Shepard's doing Genesis in Excess. Like, you know, what is this? And it's. On the surface, it seems weird, but then you listen to it and it sounds really fun, really incredible.
Tom Griswold
What's the. Do you remember the first either record or cassette that you ever bought when you were a kid?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Well, I actually did not buy records when I was a kid because my dad was a dish.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, we've met. He's been in here.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
That's right. Yeah. So, like, I had access to, you know, you guys get promos of everything, or at least back then. Yeah, download links. But, yeah. So I had this massive music catalog that was at my fingertips. LPs, cassettes, CDs, anything and everything in my case.
Tom Griswold
And thanks for asking. The first record I got was Papa Umau MAU by the Rivingtons, which I loved. They were a gospel band that did this freaky song. Do you remember anything, really? Just odd and kid like that. You just loved when you were little.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Well, now that you mentioned that, it just. That in itself reminds me of an Oak Ridge Boy song called Elvira.
Josh Arnold
Sure.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
And because they sing something that sounds just like that in the chorus. And so I loved Elvira. I loved a lot of country music growing up as well. Not just blues and stuff, but outside the box. I mean, a lot of people ask Me. What do I listen to now? Like, if I'm around the house and I'm just putting music on for, like, the, you know, whatever mood, like, I generally will default to, like, 1940s, like, big band swing stuff because I find that that music is appropriate for every occasion.
Tom Griswold
Asian, cool.
Christy Lee
I love that.
Tom Griswold
I just think it's. It's nice to, you know, everybody has, like, a song that is so dorky. They don't want to tell people they really like it. Like, I like the song in a 1, 2, 3, red light. Like a. Just a. That's a terrible song. No, it's not. It's great, fun pop song.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
I'm not. I'm not really. I don't have any, like, hidden things in my closet about music. I'm pretty predictable and I'm pretty transparent. But I have a high. I have a high bar that I have set for music, like, so I wouldn't have anything embarrassing because for me to really enjoy it, I feel like it has to be. Meet a really high standard.
Josh Arnold
Kenny, is there anybody out there that we should know of that we don't yet, that you listen to?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Well, there's a lot of artists. There's a lot of young artists. So I don't know whether you know about them or not, but, like, in my world, old, there's incredible younger generation coming up. Like, there's this guy, Marcus King, who's an amazing guitar player and singer. There's a lot of females in the blues rock genre that are coming up. Samantha Fish is really incredible. If you haven't heard of her. I'm working with an artist named Ali Venable right now in the studio the last two weeks, producing and helping her. We wrote and I'm producing her new record. And she's really, like, on fire as well. So in my world for blues and blues rock, there is this really cool, cool next generation of young players that's coming up. Reminds me when I was a kid, but, like, these guys are doing it. They're doing it.
Christy Lee
Well, that's great.
Tom Griswold
Well, Kenny, Wayne shepherd, always a great pleasure.
Christy Lee
Wait, wait, wait.
Tom Griswold
Oh, go ahead.
Christy Lee
He's in his garage. What's the car behind you? What do you look? What are you working on there?
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Well, there's two. So if I pick this up like, that is a night. That's a 1964 Dodge 330.
Tom Griswold
Oh, nice.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
And behind it is a 2013 Viking Viper GTS.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow.
Christy Lee
So, so sweet.
Tom Griswold
Be careful. And there's guitars on the garage wall.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Guitars. That's my life And Kenny, what's that.
Josh Arnold
What's that address again?
Tom Griswold
Okay. You look great. Please, please give our best to Noah. We always love seeing you guys. And maybe you can get your. Get yourself in here and do a couple of tunes for us when you're around town. Lots of spots coming up in October, including Lexington, Kentucky, Bristol, Tennessee, Ann Arbor, Michigan. You're going to be all over the place and including in Fort Wayne and Carmel, doing some great stuff in November and on the road all summer. Thanks for your time and best of luck with the new project. Look forward to hearing it.
Christy Lee
Good to see you.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd
Thanks, guys. Always a pleasure.
Josh Arnold
Thanks, Kenny.
Tom Griswold
And so articulate.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Joe Walsh
Nice.
Christy Lee
Sorry, I had no. With that car.
Tom Griswold
No, I, you know, I saw it and I was gonna say we were
Josh Arnold
all kind of wondering.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
It's like there used to be a thing in Cream magazine. C R E E M. Yeah. The music Long Departed. Great magazine. There's actually a book by the way of. Of all those compilations. They had a thing called Stars Cars. And they would have pictures of, you know, whatever. Aerosmith and their. Which was always fun. But I was. If you think about. There are certain artists that are super into hot rods. The late Jeff Beck, Clapton. Brian Setzer is a big hot rod guy.
Christy Lee
Big guy.
Tom Griswold
That'd be a really interesting thing to. I would. Why there probably. Maybe there's something online now that does that where you get some of these guys and some of these ladies talking about their cars and what they're into and what's. What they have.
Christy Lee
The guy from ACDC was all into cars.
Tom Griswold
Well, his story was. We talked to him, the singer from acdc.
Josh Arnold
Brian Johnson.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Brian Johnson. Yeah. Obviously the one that was alive. He. The story was.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Bon Scott doesn't drive.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, he doesn't drive too much.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Do you remember the story was they asked him to write his. His an autobiography and he goes, no, I can't remember anything. And then someone said to him, well, you're a car guy. Why don't you tell us about every car you've ever owned? And that's. That was his long launching point, his trigger. And we could all do that, except Christie's book would be 80 pages long.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Wood. Ah, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. But that's. That's just. Be a fun thing to see what they're. What kind of cars they're into, so. Good question, Christy. Thanks for.
Christy Lee
No, I just. I'm. You know me. I wanna.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I. I could kind of tell it was something exotic. The one in front. I couldn't see the yeah, Viper.
Christy Lee
I thought it was, I thought it was a Chevelle or something. So I was not too far off.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Okay, Very cool. Now, coming up, it's going to be sexy.
Christy Lee
From cars to sex.
Tom Griswold

Christy Lee
Howdy.
Chick McGee
There's Pat Godwin.
Josh Arnold
Hello.
Chick McGee
There's Jessica Alsman.
Tom Griswold
Hi.
Chick McGee
There's Josh Arnold. Hello, Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick. And hello Tom.
Tom Griswold
And since this is radio and they can't see, Alman is feeding the baby right now. As we speak.
Josh Arnold
Yes. Yeah. Boy, that thing is really. Wow.
Tom Griswold
Really slurping sound now, I believe. Are we going to go to the electronic. There we go.
Christy Lee
Oh, look at that.
Tom Griswold
It's the beautiful Ali Breen. Is that an English garden behind you?
Ali Breen
That is an English garden behind me, yes.
Tom Griswold
Now, I've. I've heard that it's in the 90s in England today. Is that correct?
Ali Breen
Yeah. And air conditioning is not a big thing here, so it is really hot. Yeah.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, and showers aren't a big thing either. A lot of the places just have bathtubs. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, Ally, uh, it's always a great pleasure to see.
Ali Breen
Yes, you too.
Tom Griswold
You're on tour and you're playing. What is it called? The Top Secret.
Ali Breen
The Top Secret. Yeah. I already played Top Secret this. This time around. But I'm going to be at the Camden Eye tomorrow night, and then I'm going to be at the Top Secret in New York. Not this Friday, but next Friday.
Josh Arnold
Nice.
Tom Griswold
The international traveler, that is Ali Breen. Ali is also, some would say, a sex. I don't approve of that word. Josh, how do you feel about it?
Josh Arnold
I'm on the fence. I like sex, but I hate portmanteau.
Tom Griswold
And portmanteau is not a position. It's when they combine two others to make a new one. Yeah, I think it should be. And the way this works is people write alley letters at A L, L, I B R E E N with their love troubles, and we. We fix them. I mean, we're batting, what, rock solid? 70 out of a thousand. Okay, good. So let's get to our letters. Ally, what have you.
Pat Godwin
You got?
Ali Breen
Dear Allie, my husband of 22 years just decided he wanted to get more experimental in bed and started asking for some crazy stuff like getting tied up. I'm trying to roll with it, but I don't even get where this comes from. Porn onlyfans. Is he cheating? Why would he suddenly want to try stuff like this after so long?
Josh Arnold
Boy, with that attitude. It sure is going to be great for him.
Tom Griswold
I don't know. Is that from watching pornos? I. I don't know.
Ali Breen
I could be just watching regular movies at this point. Everything's gotten so great. Like euphoria or, you know, isn't it
Josh Arnold
just after 22 years?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
God, shake it up a little bit.
Christy Lee
Nothing wrong with that.
Josh Arnold
Or else he will go somewhere else.
Chick McGee
Potentially.
Christy Lee
Yeah. You don't have to live under a rock.
Tom Griswold
I've never. I mean, I don't watch people get tied up, but I know of it.
Christy Lee
That you can do these bondage things during sex.
Tom Griswold
No, you can't. I don't want to do that.
Josh Arnold
You don't have to.
Tom Griswold
You don't have to have things to do. I don't want to be tied up.
Chick McGee
You're too. You're too busy to be tied up. I've got things to do.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to be tied to the bedpost. And I don't care if she's making a sandwich. I've got things to do.
Josh Arnold
The guy's putting an effort in here to keep things exciting and fun so he doesn't stray.
Tom Griswold
So maybe do your. Maybe do some homework.
Chick McGee
Doesn't stray.
Tom Griswold
Maybe do some homework and find something interesting.
Chick McGee
I gotta keep it fresh.
Josh Arnold
He's gonna get out and Tom's right. Decide something you would like.
Tom Griswold
Maybe surprise him. Do a little bit. I don't know where you do homework on this topic, but you are more
Josh Arnold
than welcome, obviously, to suggest to him something you would like to try.
Tom Griswold
Surprise him with it.
Christy Lee
Does he want to be tied up
Tom Griswold
or does he want to tie her up?
Christy Lee
Because that might be an issue.
Josh Arnold
It sounded like he wanted to be tied up.
Tom Griswold
Okay.
Ali Breen
Yeah, but does that go both ways when people like that or it's one or the other?
Tom Griswold
I don't know.
Ali Breen
But I mean.
Tom Griswold
I mean, if you tie him up and you can do whatever you want.
Christy Lee
That's right.
Tom Griswold
You can take. You take. You can take his credit card. Take his credit card. Go to Nordstrom. See how long that erection lasts.
Chick McGee
What is the great. The great thing? Drew Hastings has said. So I was, you know, choking her and. And she passes out. So I got some time for myself. I made a sandwich.
Tom Griswold
He might change his mind, though, if she, you know, force feeds him three Viagras and then takes the credit card and goes shopping. He can't touch anything. This is going to be a weird night.
Christy Lee
Awful.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm just saying.
Christy Lee
Yeah, he loves him. She's not gonna do that well, but
Tom Griswold
she needs to do some homework. I don't know what this guy's into, but maybe do a little bit of exploring and see. See what works. Let's move on.
Chick McGee
I think uncomfortable talking about.
Christy Lee
You don't even want to.
Ali Breen
To be.
Christy Lee
You never relax.
Tom Griswold
I don't want to be tied up for any reason at all.
Ali Breen
Yeah. This is really agitating Tom very much.
Josh Arnold
This is those. The letter writer wrote in and said, I'm going to tie Tom up today. That's how you're reacting.
Chick McGee
It's almost like, no, I'M outside in the parking lot right now.
Ali Breen
We're waiting.
Tom Griswold
Next thing I know, I've got my dog licking my face.
Christy Lee
Oh, that's not always going to lick.
Chick McGee
What if you find out that. That that's exactly what you like? You like. You like giving up control, you like being tied up and you have the most earth shattering orgasm you ever had. Yeah, what are you going to do then?
Tom Griswold
I quit this job, sell all my goods and. Oh, higher and higher out. Okay, let's take our next letter. What do you got, Ally?
Ali Breen
Dear Ally, my girlfriend lost her job and seems to be in no rush to get another one. I work from home, so she's now here with me all day long and doesn't really cook or clean or even make the bed in the morning. We go out or order dinner pretty much every night. And I pay. I can afford it. But I'm getting really annoyed by all this. How do I tell her she needs to do something?
Chick McGee
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You need to tell her that you want to break up. That's what you need to tell her. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Wow, she's really lazy.
Christy Lee
Well, she might be real depressed. Impressed too, that it's kind of hard. It's tough out.
Tom Griswold
Maybe. Maybe getting up and making the bed would improve her attitude.
Christy Lee
That's a good start. Maybe you should get a real job
Tom Griswold
out of the home. Like stop working.
Josh Arnold
Maybe you.
Tom Griswold
Well, this guy shouldn't have to do anything.
Josh Arnold
No look at all. But she even she knows that that's an insane.
Christy Lee
A lot of people work from home alzy.
Tom Griswold
Like, well, they should go work at a coffee shop.
Christy Lee
Give her some space.
Tom Griswold
A friend of mine, a friend of mine. A friend of mine who's got a kind of a good job, shall we say. He during COVID started working at home and since then has more or less done that all the time. And his wife laid down the law very early on. Oh, you can do this. But I am not making you your lunch. I am not your secretary. This is. If you want to work here, great. But that's the room. And. But yeah, no, this guy, I don't know how he delicately says to her, you got to start doing something.
Josh Arnold
I have a recommendation. It's going to take a little bit of extra work on your part, dude, but say things like, hey honey, will you help me make the bed real quick. Hey honey, can you help me have her join you in some of this stuff and then it may shift into she does it. I'm just saying that's.
Tom Griswold
This is the premise for a movie. And here's what happens. Josh in the movie she starts helping him and pretty soon she's sitting in on the zoom calls and pretty soon they realize she's better at his job than she is. And the next thing you know she kicks him out and takes his job and his life is ruined. It's a great movie, terrific idea.
Josh Arnold
Interesting.
Chick McGee
And Lenny Kravitz comes and plays a concert and she falls in love with
Ali Breen
Lenny Krapp and they run off together. Yeah, perfect.
Tom Griswold
We've got this one. Another big. Another Good. We're two for two. Let's get to our next letter.
Ali Breen
Ally, we're killing it. Dear Allie, is there any way to FaceTime with your boyfriend without him trying to get you to show him your boobs?
Chick McGee
No, no, sadly no. I'm sorry.
Ali Breen
Yeah, unless there's a visual involved.
Christy Lee
I mean you're probably the only one in this room that really does a lot of FaceTiming. I would think since you have long distance relationship. Is that an issue?
Ali Breen
No, I never had an issue with that. But we also don't actually FaceTime that much. We just do more regular calls. We're so old school. Yeah, I think it's probably a young thing where, you know, also boys are probably more excited by boobs when they're younger.
Tom Griswold
Wait a minute fellas, you want to, want to weigh in on that just by show of hands?
Josh Arnold
I'm more excited by boobs when they're young. Younger.
Tom Griswold
Ally, to clarify, thanks. When you said that's not a big deal, does that mean you don't do it or it's not all that interesting to you?
Ali Breen
Showing boobs or FaceTiming?
Tom Griswold
No. While FaceTiming, you know.
Ali Breen
Oh yeah. Well because we're not really. We're just having like a normal conversation. So if he was all of a sudden like can I see your boobs? It wouldn't be very sexy.
Josh Arnold
No, but it's boy, let's try and see relationships.
Ali Breen
I think I was more of like, like a like phone sexy or person long distance.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I'm sorry Ellie, we didn't hear you take your boobs up.
Tom Griswold
We are just hitting 100% helping these people today.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, that is of course that's what's happening. But isn't it just a mild annoyance? Yeah, and I'm not saying taking your boobs out is a mild annoyance. I'm saying saying no, I'm not doing that right now.
Christy Lee
Isn't that just move on.
Josh Arnold
Right, right.
Tom Griswold
Especially when you're at your parents house or Something.
Christy Lee
Or at the grocery store.
Tom Griswold
Come on, show me one. Oh, wait a minute. I got an idea. I've got an idea. If you have one of those gizmos where you can make the background change, blur it.
Christy Lee
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Chick McGee
One of those gizmos on your zoom
Ali Breen
call, just, like, green screen background.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, Whatever it is. You could, you could press a button and all of a sudden have, like, photographs of priests. Oh, my God. Just stuff that would immediately make him feel really guilty.
Ali Breen
Giving Bible verses.
Tom Griswold
It depends what his religious affiliation is. But we could be around pictures of
Josh Arnold
his mom behind him.
Chick McGee
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Oh, even better. Thank you. Much funnier. I mean, much more effective pictures of his mom. In fact, I know a guy that could photograph shop and make his mom naked.
Christy Lee
Oh, no.
Tom Griswold
Oh, problem solved. God, would that be great. That would be so funny. Yeah, he'd never ask again.
Ali Breen
Nope, that's true.
Tom Griswold
Or could you do, like, a quim pro quo, if you will, in which you ask. Okay, well, if you want to see these, I'm gonna have to see you. And then not just flash, but have some, you know, awkward or uncomfortable.
Chick McGee
I'm sorry, did you say quim pro quo?
Tom Griswold
That's a Latin term you guys probably aren't familiar with. A lawyer. A lawyer acquaintance of mine. Anyone? Anyone? Tennessee Williams. Okay, sorry. Yeah, let's move forward here. Let's get to our next letter. Ali. Brie,
Ali Breen
my best friend is going through a divorce, and I've always had a crush on her husband. She met someone, so she initiated the divorce, and he's pretty crushed. Would it be crazy for me to try to date him? And do I need to ask her permission?
Christy Lee
If you want a friend, yeah.
Ali Breen
It's crazy. Oh, boy.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. You won't be friends anymore.
Chick McGee
Yeah, there's gotta be. There's a delicate way to do this, but not ask for permission, but just fill her in, I guess. Isn't that common courtesy in a situation like that?
Christy Lee
How would you feel if, Or. Oh, by the way, I think I'm gonna ask him to coffee.
Chick McGee
Hey, Josh. Crazy thought.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Chick McGee
I'm gonna start dating your mom. Is that okay?
Josh Arnold
No, you know, I, I, I'm 48. I think I would react, you know, sort of okay.
Tom Griswold
You know, a mom's still a little
Christy Lee
different than, I think, an ex, isn't it?
Ali Breen
Totally.
Tom Griswold
Didn't that happen with. Didn't that happen to some basketball player?
Chick McGee
LeBron's mom was dating someone on the team there for a while. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Good for her.
Christy Lee
I know, right?
Chick McGee
Oh, yeah, she was. Well, Jaden, sweet baby. Jaden, Daniel's mom is.
Ali Breen
And she wasn't Scotty Pippen's wife dating someone or something?
Christy Lee
Michael Jordan's son?
Chick McGee
Yeah. Scotty. Scotty Pippen is very close to becoming his own uncle.
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Wow. So these are exes? I. Boy, I, I can't give any advice here. I, I, I kind of. I just wish the best for you. What do you do?
Tom Griswold
Read the first line again? I'm a little bit confused as to what's happening here.
Ali Breen
I think you'd have to preface it with like. I would never do this otherwise. But since you don't want to be with him anymore, essentially, I don't know, it's. Dear Ally, my best friend is going through a divorce and I've always had a crush on her husband. Yeah, she met someone, so she initiated the divorce and he's crushed. Would it be crazy for him for me to try to date him? And do I need to ask her permission?
Josh Arnold
I know this is tough.
Christy Lee
It's her best friend.
Chick McGee
No, I, I think it's the Seinfeld rule. You just need to be there.
Josh Arnold
I kind of think so, too.
Chick McGee
Tell him that you're there, I'm there
Ali Breen
for you, and see what happens.
Chick McGee
Whatever you need, I'm there.
Christy Lee
Usually in this situation, you pick a side, your best friend's gonna be like,
Tom Griswold
why are you hanging out with my ex?
Josh Arnold
But I get her point. Theoretically, the wife should have no problem with this. She fell in love with. No theoretically.
Tom Griswold
Oh, wait a minute. I'm sorry. You're hallucinating right now, Josh.
Josh Arnold
Sorry, I thought I was talking among grown.
Tom Griswold
Absolutely.
Chick McGee
Let's be clear for a moment. You can find another best friend. Okay.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I think that's the answer.
Chick McGee
Yeah. Okay.
Ali Breen
Well, because honestly, people get mad when their experts dating anyone forget about their best friends. So, yeah, it's gonna be problematic.
Tom Griswold
It's hard for women to make friends
Christy Lee
after a certain age.
Tom Griswold
So I.
Christy Lee
Maybe you shouldn't lose your.
Tom Griswold
I see this as a Hallmark movie with, with. Just let me finish with a murder.
Josh Arnold
Again. That's lifetime territory.
Chick McGee
Okay, we need to go over again what's, what's funny and what's not. Okay, maybe, maybe that's where we should start.
Tom Griswold
Many, many funny murder movies involved how to murder your wife with Jack Lemmon. Very funny. Ali Breen is our guest. Ali, thank you so much. And they can look for you at Top Secret in New York. When is that again?
Ali Breen
Not this Friday, but next Friday.

Hello, Champ. G. Two things I want to check off right away here. Number one, Pat Godwin in concert. Yeah, for the last time, pre surgery maybe. So Pat is having his shoulder operated on.

Josh Arnold
No, I have a Tommy Johns for good guitars.
Chick McGee
Yes. I thought it was diminished.
Tom Griswold
No, no, no, no, no. It'll be much better. But that means that this Saturday, this coming Saturday at a place called Shakespeare's Pub in Kalamazoo, Michigan, home of the house Hamlet, you're gonna see. You're gonna see Pat Godwin. I hope everybody goes to see him. Should be a great.
Christy Lee
I have a friend going and he's much, very much looking forward to say hi.
Chick McGee
I think. I think. Here's something. I think we all should go to see Pat Saturday night being his last show and all. Tom, what do you think?
Pat Godwin
Come see the old shoulder.
Chick McGee
Yes.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I'm busy. I'm sure. The point is best friend.

Pat Godwin
I could be.
Chick McGee
Just tell me. I'd like to be your friend. I'm gonna be your friend as long as it doesn't inconvenience me.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Chick McGee
Okay.
Tom Griswold
What was the other thing I was gonna say? Oh, the Pop Up Shop. The Bob and Tom Pop Up Store. We popped it back up by popular demand. And there's some cool. There's a trucker hat. There's some cool summer shirts. There's also a long sleeved shirt.

Tom Griswold
You didn't just swap it out there?
Chick McGee
I, I, I didn't think that was necessary, but I was very close to doing that, if you know what I'm trying to tell you.
Tom Griswold
Okay, okay, very good. Now, so those are the two things I wanted to get out there. So please, if you get a chance, check out the, the new wardrobe. Now, speaking of wardrobe, Christy, lies. All is the term gussied up. Still used.
Josh Arnold

Christy Lee
I am not gussied up.
Chick McGee
You're a touch gussie.
Tom Griswold
I think you're gussied.
Christy Lee

Oh, well, it might.
Tom Griswold
Is it a. Is it that. That's a feminine hygiene problem?
Chick McGee

How do you spell it?
Chick McGee
Evil. Evil woman.
Josh Arnold
Tell us about your mom's tussie.

This episode of The BOB & TOM Show brings together the usual cast—Tom Griswold, Chick McGee, Christy Lee, Josh Arnold, Pat Godwin, Ace Cosby, and more—for a classic morning blend of comedy, music, mailbag shenanigans, sports, and offbeat news. Highlights include a phone interview with guitar legend Joe Walsh (and later Kenny Wayne Shepherd), lively mailbag letters, discussions on aging rock stars, hair dye, Slinkies, biting Super Balls, the Guinness cheese rolling competition, quirky restaurant themes, and a candid segment on sexual fantasies and relationships with Ali Breen.
The show flows with rapid-fire banter, personal stories, witty audience emails, and a curious look at how comedy seeps into even the most mundane or awkward topics (from rotator cuff surgeries to feminine hygiene products).
