[Tom Griswold]

And the sounds of Christmas. The Bob and Tom show proudly presents.

[Chick McGee]

The audio collection the Sounds of Thanksgiving. Marvin, who changed the temperature on the oven?

[Tom Griswold]

My yams are burning. My yams are burning.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

If you can't make it home this Thanksgiving, we'll bring the holiday home to.

[Chick McGee]

You with the sounds of Thanksgiving.

[Tom Griswold]

You're overcooking the turkey, Roger.

[Chick McGee]

The turkey's fine, Alice.

[Jessica Hooker]

It's not fine, Roger. It's gonna be all dry and crusty.

[Chick McGee]

Alice, the only thing dry and crusty around here is in your pants.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, my.

[Tom Griswold]

The sounds of Thanksgiving.

[Chick McGee]

And we didn't forget your stoner brother at the dinner table either.

[Tom Griswold]

Yo, dude, could you pass me more of the gravy?

[Al Jackson]

You guys ever try mayonnaise on Jell O?

[Chick McGee]

No, Gamma. Those brownies ain't for you.

[Tom Griswold]

The sounds of Thanksgiving will you stress free by reminding you that you're not actually dealing with the show that is Thanksgiving with your family?

[Chick McGee]

Kimberly, your cat just peed on me.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's a pillow you're petting. Uncle Clarence, you just pissed your pants again.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And we didn't forget your drunk, socially.

[Chick McGee]

Awkward teenage nephew Clayton. If I get the biggest part of the wishbone, I'm gonna wish that the girl next door keeps shaving with her curtains open.

[Jessica Hooker]

My mom says it's okay for me to drink bourbon. You ever look at the website Beaver Hunt?

[Mark Shalafu]

I'm Thinking about becoming an astronaut?

[Al Jackson]

I'm not hungry.

[Mark Shalafu]

I just snorted the last of my Adderall. Hey, who's that hot milf?

[Chick McGee]

Quit staring, Clayton.

[Al Jackson]

She's your aunt.

[Chick McGee]

Feeling empty and all alone. Get Bob and Tom's the Sounds of Thanksgiving.

[Tom Griswold]

And rest easy knowing that it could be worse. You could actually be home. Get off my back, Larry.

[Jessica Hooker]

It's not stripping, it's burlesque.

[Chick McGee]

You and the horse you rode in on, Mother. And if you order right now, we'll throw in for free the sounds of Black Friday. Stand back, please. From bob and tom audio productions. Hello. Hi, there. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio, it's the Bob and Tom show from the Silac Insurance news desk. Look at that.

[Tom Griswold]

She looks like a secret agent. Or a cat burglar.

[Chick McGee]

It's the girl from UNCLE Jess Hooker.

[Jessica Hooker]

Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, Black head to toe. Remember the black turtleneck girl from U.N.C.L.E.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, I'm doing what you hate. I have brown pants on.

[Chick McGee]

Black and brown. April Dancer.

[Tom Griswold]

Stephanie Powers.

[Chick McGee]

April Dancer, the girl from U.N.C.L.E.

[Tom Griswold]

The bad guys are from.

[Chick McGee]

And Noel Harrison. I think Rush was that right. Mouth infection.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, speaking of mouth infections, there's Pat Godwin.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, I resemble that remark.

[Chick McGee]

You've had them all right.

[Jessica Hooker]

How you doing, buddy?

[Al Jackson]

Good.

[Chick McGee]

Why?

[Jessica Hooker]

You had to leave early yesterday.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, I was fine an hour or two later.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah, you had radish belly.

[Tom Griswold]

I had to. We have to tell Willie. What?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

We have a wall of Griswolds over here, by the way. So here we go. Pat, tell Willie what happened yesterday.

[Al Jackson]

Well, they came in with these huge radishes.

[Tom Griswold]

They're called Dacon radishes. And they were. It was delicious. They looked like sweet potatoes. They were not. They're irradiated or something.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, I got them at Freaky Farmer's Market.

[Al Jackson]

Also, I have a theory about this. Years ago, Pat said that he liked radishes on the show.

[Tom Griswold]

I do.

[Al Jackson]

I think you said that as a mistake. I don't know if you thought it was the wrong vegetable.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Al Jackson]

And now I feel like we're shoving radishes down your throat all the time.

[Mark Shalafu]

No, I love them.

[Al Jackson]

Okay, so you ate a bunch of them.

[Tom Griswold]

I took a huge bite. I loved it. I ate the whole thing.

[Chick McGee]

And then.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, we had an issue.

[Chick McGee]

In Willie's defense, though, Pat has embellished a story or two, and that has become something he's had to live with for years. He'll do that every now.

[Al Jackson]

And here's the sad part.

[Tom Griswold]

They're all true. But he. Unbelievable. Ate this raw radish the size of a potato.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, it was.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

He just ate the whole thing. Yeah, he ate it exactly like an apple.

[Chick McGee]

I will ask you this. I don't think you meant to take that big a bite, is that correct?

[Tom Griswold]

I did mean I was. It was.

[Al Jackson]

I took off the air. I ate the rest of it.

[Tom Griswold]

So what was. And then in the last hour of the show, Pat had to leave.

[Chick McGee]

How's your sit down later?

[Tom Griswold]

What happened? You know, I did have a sit.

[Al Jackson]

Down about three hours later in that.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I don't think that's the way it works, but. Okay. Yeah, you have a very fast constitution.

[Tom Griswold]

It was moving everything out, I think, out of the way. We're glad you made it.

[Al Jackson]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay, thanks. I'm sorry. You want to finish the intros?

[Chick McGee]

However, Josh is not. That's Willie Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, man, where's he sitting?

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello. Who? Willie?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He's sitting at.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, at the. I hate Stephen Singer sidekick. There you go. Okay, good. I'm Chick McGee at the Prize Picks sports desk. Hello.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom, a couple quick things.

[Chick McGee]

Looking forward. You're very excited.

[Tom Griswold]

We have our winner for our. That 4K TV and Visa gift card from Orange Insoles, it's Edward Carver. Congratulations to Mr. Carver.

[Chick McGee]

Edward Carver.

[Tom Griswold]

Edward Washington Carver.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I don't know about that.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe that's a typo. Edward, congratulations and thank you, Orange Insoles. Also, we have our winner. We'll be talking to our winner later today, I believe. Are we talking to him today or tomorrow?

[Chick McGee]

Thursday. Always Thursday.

[Tom Griswold]

It's what's just not on the board there.

[Chick McGee]

It's shoe. End of the week. John Coop. Right there. Right there.

[Tom Griswold]

I just saw Al Jackson right there.

[Chick McGee]

On the board with the colored. Not only that, but shoeing of the week is in yellow and John Coop's name is in pink. That's what threw me against a black background.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember where Mr. Coop is from?

[Jessica Hooker]

Missing?

[Chick McGee]

I. I don't know. Oh, Zionsville.

[Tom Griswold]

Cuz if your name is Cooper, your nickname is always Coop, right? If your name is Coop, then what's your nickname? Coop.

[Chick McGee]

Gotta be Coop.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. But that's his name. Well, we'll have to find out.

[Al Jackson]

I call my cousin Cooper. I call him Coop. My phone calls him Co Op. So maybe that could be the cool.

[Mark Shalafu]

Way to go for it.

[Al Jackson]

Kind of shorten it, make it longer, though.

[Tom Griswold]

I love it when. When your phone tries to pronounce names. Good luck with Kostaki. He calls him Kostiki. It sounds like coast to coast, but congratulations. And Mr. Coop, we'll talk to him. And if you'd like to enter for week 12, you've got most of today to get that. To get that done because the Thursday Nighter starts her off, as they say. It'll be week 12 in the NFL. Just go to bobandtom.com contest and just pick the winners.

[Chick McGee]

Who are you referring to when it starts her off? Is that.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a reference to the Allman Brothers.

[Chick McGee]

Of course it is. Yes. And what song.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, from what album? Live at the Fillmore, of course, where Dwayne Ollman says Barry starts her off.

[Chick McGee]

Once again, Tom, your. Your memories, your experiences. I aren't everyone else.

[Tom Griswold]

I just had a friend of mine who is really getting into vinyl and he's younger than I am and he wanted my tips on classic rock and I got him the.

[Chick McGee]

He did.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, I got him.

[Chick McGee]

Is that. Is that the way you heard it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I got him the Live at the Fillmore album, which is one of the greatest records ever made, where you'll hear Dwayne go, Barry starts her off. Great. Barry Oakley on bass. But, yeah, highly well worth listening to. Perhaps, Jason, you can isolate the. Barry starts her off and we can play it later on on the show.

[Al Jackson]

He just shook his head.

[Chick McGee]

Disgust. Yeah, he's getting in his car. He's speeding away.

[Tom Griswold]

Yesterday I had a fun.

[Chick McGee]

He says he's got radish belly.

[Tom Griswold]

Yesterday I had a chance to talk to actor, comedian Tim Allen. Talked to him for quite a long time. We're going to play part of that interview. Tim is just so funny. And I was talking to someone to say, I talked to Tim Allen today, the comedian, and they went, what? You know, Tim Allen, the comedian? They. A lot of certain level of whatever generation only knows him as the actor.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Next week, he's meeting up with Tom Hanks in New York. But Tim Allen, the reason I bring it up is love talking about great live comedy shows. I know Willie's got one coming up Saturday.

He'll be in Boise at the Morrison Center Saturday, January 10, and at the Bob Hope Theater in Stockton, Saturday, February 7. And then in Vegas in mid April at the MGM Grant at the David Copperfield Theater. David Copper Field. Did I say that? I didn't mean. Correct me if I'm wrong, Copperfield Theater. I'm just saying if you get a chance. Tim is a great stand up. If you're not familiar with this, bombing.

In comedy is not great.

And I would later find out his wife knew that he liked to do this and she was okay with it. He was a very slender guy and he had that super thin, real long hair, but. Yeah, not balding thin, but just whiskey.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Like Kid Rock, that kind of. Yes, yes, that hair. But. So he looked somewhat ladylike, I guess.

[Jessica Hooker]

Did he have makeup on and everything?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, and that was his thing.

[Chick McGee]

Was he hot?

[Tom Griswold]

No, but he was. The other aspect of it was he was a terrific music jock. Yeah, he was really good. Yeah. But. Yeah, so that. That was my pd. That's, I guess, my most exciting experience as a program director. Having to go to the county jail in Volusia County, Florida, I'll have you know. Thank you very much. Coming up. Willie, we were talking about the Wiener mobile. Oh, yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Big fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Big fan. And the Banana Mobile.

[Al Jackson]

Huge fan.

[Tom Griswold]

Which once again, the Banana Mobile has the seats one in front of the other like an old biplane.

[Chick McGee]

The Banana Mobile, if you will, is the kind of. The sports car.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Of the food. Food related.

[Tom Griswold]

And we are. We are in negotiations with the Banana Mobile guy to get it here, I think in the month of May, maybe.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, it's in hibernation right now because it's a convertible, so.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay. That only makes sense.

[Tom Griswold]

But we got.

[Chick McGee]

Talking about, you don't want your banana to go black and out.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not big on the federal government in general, but I do think there should be some kind of a tax thing in which if you make an automobile or a truck that resembles the product your company makes, there should be some huge tax bonus. So suddenly we would see, you know, really cool trucks all over the world. All over the United States anyway, that look like. And so we have several people that have made some suggestions about what companies should do trucks. I'm not sure I can get this tax thing through. I think they're busy with other stuff.

[Chick McGee]

You've long been a champion of anybody who makes money before 9am that's all tax free.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like to see that's just as reasonable as not taxing tip money.

[Chick McGee]

I second that.

[Tom Griswold]

That would be a completely reasonable thing in today's world. But that's all coming up. So we have your letters on some suggestions about what companies should be making vehicles that look like the product that they make now. Right now, a couple of other things coming up. Let's see, I mentioned, oh, comedian Al Jackson and comedian Mark Shallafu. Mr. Shallafu will be our guest.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure it's not shallow.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Shallafu, right? Yeah, Like Foo Fighters.

[Chick McGee]

It might be shallow.

[Tom Griswold]

Very funny. And it's not Java House. It's Java House. This portion of the Bob and Tom show brought to you by Java House, the official office beverages, coffee, tea, etc. Of the Bob and Tom Show. It's in our break room and we've divided it up, ladies and gentlemen. We have the tea, the hydration energy drinks. I'm currently doing a tea coffee. We even have the fancy coffee because we use Java House peel and pour pods. You don't put them in any kind of a machine. You just take one of these. Which one is this? This is the cold brew Colombian. It looks about. It's a little bit bigger than one of those Keurig pods. Right. And then you just peel the top off, pour it in and add your water, hot or cold, whatever you're into, and voila, you've got it. Also, they've got cocoa, of course, and great hydration drinks. I'm about to actually drink this one. This is the Arctic freeze. Keep yourself hydrated between shots of coffee, etc. Etc. And by the way, we also learned something. I forgot to mention this. A great dessert item, vanilla ice cream and your cold brew, Colombian. Just pour it right on there. Delightful. Now, I'm a coffee guy. So we've got the special four pack bundle. It includes Colombian cold brew, decaf, Daily Delight in the original blend roasters.

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Top show. At the SILAC Insurance news desk, it's Jess Hooker.

[Jessica Hooker]

It's me.

[Chick McGee]

She's writing a bulletin down. I'm assuming some breaking news, a weather update. There you go. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Big time song this.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you got it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. There's Willie Griswold.

[Al Jackson]

Good morning.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I hate Stephen Singer, sidekick, chairman. Got all the Griswolds on one side of the room, the weight of their personalities tipping the room.

[Tom Griswold]

The word you're looking for is gravitas.

[Chick McGee]

Gravitas.

[Tom Griswold]

There's Ace Cosby and I like the Gravitas that that makes it sound even more pretentious.

[Chick McGee]

[Tom Griswold]

I'm going to tell you right now, I'm a little discombobulated My main computer here had some kind of update installed that I did not ask for.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not making this up. Everyone listening and everyone in the room can back me up. His computer's making a noise and he said I don't know how to stop it.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's gonna.

[Chick McGee]

Let's all enjoy it together.

[Tom Griswold]

It's been dinging every now and then.

[Chick McGee]

Also it's an email or something indicator.

[Tom Griswold]

I, there are now these red envelopes on the front. But here's the funny thing.

[Chick McGee]

Red envelopes on the front roll tech.

[Jessica Hooker]

Get here as soon as you can.

[Tom Griswold]

Willie, you can verify this. My screen on the upper left has a calendar built in and it's currently showing me the temperature in Harbor Springs, Michigan.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh yeah, you. That's an old update. You needed that.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I, I, I can't get it to change. So I'm by the way 31 right now in Harbor Springs, Michigan. And then it's got a nice picture of one of my daughters that I, It's. I don't know where this stuff comes from, but I can't get it to get off the screen.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay, so it's interesting that you didn't get here.

[Chick McGee]

You didn't take that opportunity to lie and say it was a picture of Willie. I don't know. I don't know why you would say one of your daughters.

[Tom Griswold]

It's, it's a little tiny. It's like a 10 year old picture of Finn.

[Jessica Hooker]

And it's going to change. It rotates. So you'll get another picture. Maybe the next one will be of Willie.

[Chick McGee]

Possib number wise on that.

[Al Jackson]

It's like a 5050 raffle. You know the person who buys the most tickets most likely to win. I'm guessing it's going to be half heart half fit on there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, who knows? Maybe Sam.

[Al Jackson]

I get lucky.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

So how do I get the weather to go?

[Jessica Hooker]

Well, we'll help you at the break.

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't, I don't think anyone should help him. This is kind of fun to see him.

[Tom Griswold]

What is the dinging?

[Jessica Hooker]

It's a, it's an email or some kind of alert.

[Chick McGee]

Email or a text indicator.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Pat, send me an email. Let me see if a dance.

[Chick McGee]

You got it, boss.

[Tom Griswold]

Or maybe as a text.

[Chick McGee]

Can do, boss. I think we got a text. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He's got a simple high from me.

[Al Jackson]

This whole break we were just talking about Hugh Jackman. We were hanging out the whole time. We're talking about where my show. Why did you bring up the Computer.

[Tom Griswold]

Not working because it's going to ding and Chick's going to get all mad about it.

[Al Jackson]

Okay. So.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, okay. Excuse me.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's cute, actually.

[Al Jackson]

There's.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, no, nothing.

[Jessica Hooker]

Chick is loaded for bear.

[Tom Griswold]

Nothing. Okay, well, I like it.

[Chick McGee]

I'm ornery now, Willie, watch me. I'm ornery.

[Tom Griswold]

Willie, we've explained to you the. The premise. We're asking people to come up with vehicles. If you have a business, I think you should be able to spend a lot of money making a vehicle that looks like your product and then write it off on your tax.

[Chick McGee]

Wall to wall emails, pictures of vehicles that are products. It's unbelievable. Any listener emails brought to you by Sleep number. It's the Sleep Number Black Friday sale.

[Tom Griswold]

We have the peanut mobile, of course.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Got the banana mobile, the wiener mobile, and there are others out there. But some suggestions would include a. A Viagra vehicle of some sort. Okay. I was thinking maybe one of those buses that can get bigger. Oh, yeah, yeah. And I've always had the idea for.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You had this for a major sporting event.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The Cialis blimp.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which would be like the Goodyear blimp. It would be hovering over a stadium and then as the game would go on, it would tilt up upwards. So by the end of the game.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You'd have this thing going around at like a 60 degree angle.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Would be amazing.

[Jessica Hooker]

We have Viagra in the news today too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we do have like a boner. We have.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, we have boners in the news.

[Tom Griswold]

We have crazy weird Viagra news today. Really interesting.

[Chick McGee]

How do you feel about. From depair, Wisconsin, this is Terry emailing us the Crown Royal truck. There it is right there.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

That's two giant liquor casks being hauled by a semi.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought it was going to be a giant bag and it's full of the purple. Purple bag.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that's a good idea.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be a good balloon.

[Chick McGee]

Sadly.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that would be a good Bloom.

[Chick McGee]

Truck's purple. We don't have a picture of this one. But our. Our local roller rink writes, autumn has a giant drivable roller skate.

[Tom Griswold]

I got this. I got a letter from someone else who saw that.

[Chick McGee]

Also, Jess, she says I have a recipe for spicy pickled carrots. Oh, perhaps you. And you love carrots. I do so. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, I can't tell you what it's going to look like, but.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, holy moly.

[Tom Griswold]

Tim is kind enough to suggest a vehicle for Dick's Dick's Sporting boats. It's sort of a modified wiener mobile with sort of a circumcision scar.

[Chick McGee]

I do have a picture of the giant roller skate. It was just sent to me, so be patient.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I've got a letter from Scott saying in Lexington, Kentucky Champs Roller Dome had a giant roller skate. They would drive around town.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, this is. This is champs. There it is.

[Jessica Hooker]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. That's so cool.

[Jessica Hooker]

That is cool. That's awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Is that. Does that drive on its own, or is that something you put on a trailer? I think it looks like a trailer.

[Jessica Hooker]

It looks. Well, it looks like the top comes off and it's a convertible.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, cool.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if it's street legal or not. You think?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Look at those wheels, though. That looks.

[Jessica Hooker]

Got a bumper. It looks like a license plate.

[Chick McGee]

I think I have the same wheels. What the hell? The hell is this? I have. I have wheels for a roller skate. Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that thing a BMW?

[Jessica Hooker]

Can you guys roller skate?

[Chick McGee]

I cannot.

[Al Jackson]

No, I can blade pretty well. Yeah, I could. I could blade backwards. I could do the whole switch around. Oh, yeah. But skating, the stopping gets difficult to get a little scared. I can do it. Not as gracefully as blading, though, now.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Being a fat child, I never learned.

[Tom Griswold]

How to roller skate.

[Al Jackson]

Dude. I was. I was out there. I was big and I was moving. If you're fat and you're a kid, nice. Some roller skates you got to keep mo.

[Tom Griswold]

Now has the roller blading kind of gone away? That was really popular 30 years ago. You know what the hardest part of rollerblading is? What?

[Al Jackson]

Telling your parents you live an alternative lifestyle. That was the updated version of that joke, am I right? I had to edit.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's good Bet.

[Al Jackson]

I saw a guy rollerblading the other day, and I go, man, I guess it's kind of fun, but he was going to work. It's like when you get there, you're have to sit for 10 minutes.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

You have to have a backpack for your blades all day.

[Chick McGee]

What do you think the percentages of women wearing sneakers to work and then switching over to their.

[Jessica Hooker]

That doesn't happen.

[Chick McGee]

That doesn't happen.

[Tom Griswold]

That was huge back in the day.

[Chick McGee]

I. I say it still is huge.

[Tom Griswold]

Bring it back.

[Chick McGee]

I say bring back bare feet in the workplace. That's what I say.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, we were talking about. I was at Disney World over the weekend.

[Chick McGee]

Bare feet.

[Tom Griswold]

And they have a thing now and some of the rides. This is so smart. They have a pouch when you. You sit down, like the roller coaster. There's this. This big like envelope in front of you. And you can put your glasses, your hat, your phone. This is a new development. Apparently. I got this from Linden, Pennsylvania.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, named after Lyndon Johnson.

[Tom Griswold]

Different spelling. It's Jack, He Goes. The Great Nor' Easter Roller coaster in Wildwood, New Jersey. They give you lockers to store everything in your pockets. At first I thought it was inconvenient, but I'm one of those guys that forgets everything. But I love the storage pocket, love the show. VIP member. Well, thank you for joining the VIP J. You can check that out by taking the Bob and Tom app, downloading it, see about becoming a VIP member. Listen to this stuff. Whatever you want. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now, up until this point, we've had pretty reasonable products that have turned into motor vehicles. Well, like all things, they all can't be reasonable. Home runs.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

This is from Daryl in Bosque Farms, New Mexico. This is a local exhaust shop. Oh, it's a hand. Believe it or not, Tom, this is hand built. I love that. It's a car that looks like a muffler.

[Tom Griswold]

It's beautiful. It's a convertible, a ragtop, two seater.

[Chick McGee]

Tom says it's beautiful.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a. That's so cool. It's a giant muffler.

[Chick McGee]

If you ran into a grocery cart in. At the shopping center, you just have to bang it out, man. You wouldn't. You wouldn't care at all.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, the same place they did a catalytic converter, but a catalytic converter, but it kept getting stolen.

[Al Jackson]

Come on.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. That would have been a joke. I. Cadillac. Cadillac. Hit it. You are so close.

[Jessica Hooker]

Catalytic.

[Chick McGee]

Catalytic. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

I have a thing to say. I don't think your execution affected that joke. You could have said that one perfectly clear as day.

[Chick McGee]

I second that. I enjoyed it just as much. Had you pronounced it correctly.

[Al Jackson]

You shouldn't have brought attention to it.

[Tom Griswold]

You mean like yesterday?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's right. That's a cool car. You're out of your mind.

[Tom Griswold]

Looks like a lot of Bondo. It looks like a muffler. That's the gag.

[Al Jackson]

We got that part of it.

[Chick McGee]

It does look like a muffler. Dear Bob and Tom, this is Katie somewhere in Kentucky. I thought Tom would enjoy this picture of the. The pig mobile at the local Piggly Wiggly grocery store. Apparently they deliver Groceries in. Oh, in. In the Pigmobile. No, that's the grocery cart now.

[Tom Griswold]

No, Tom, you want to cover?

[Al Jackson]

I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, this is the, this grocery cart that's about 20ft high and. Is that Bob in it?

[Chick McGee]

I thought it was Bob, but it is not.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, because Bob and I and Chick, we've all been in one of these.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's a. It's a gigantic grocery cart. It is a motorized grocery and you could, you could get 20 people on that thing. It's huge. And it's motorized. I'm. It's typically used for parades. Be kind of funny that you drive that around town.

[Al Jackson]

They gave it to me for one day when I got it. One wheel didn't work. Come on, folks. Have a good time with that one.

[Chick McGee]

Guys, do you know that some of the. Some of the people have grocery carts? They have sensors on them so you can't.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. You can't leave with them.

[Chick McGee]

You can't leave the parking lot with them because.

[Jessica Hooker]

What part of town are you shopping in?

[Chick McGee]

Well, times are. Times are hard across the tracks there. Well, we've, you know, Daddy wants what daddy wants. You know that you can't tell my heart. You know, don't tell it.

[Tom Griswold]

So in any event, you can reach us, Bob and tomobandtom.com in the world of email. We'd love to hear from you. And if you have any ideas on any topic, including what vehicles should be required to reflect the product that they, that they manufacture. We talked a little bit about the. What was it? The Longabarger Basket Company. They have that building in Ohio that looks like a basket.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Are they still in business?

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sure. I'm sure they are.

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't know. That was a big thing.

[Chick McGee]

They're like collectibles, right?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the most. I think one of the most famous buildings like that used to be in Orlando, Florida. There was a famous Rachel's topless bar.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Great food. It was a Michelin five star restaurant.

[Jessica Hooker]

Not sure about that.

[Chick McGee]

I'm pretty sure it was.

[Tom Griswold]

You know what I'm talking about.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, I've been there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it had. There were two buildings. They looked like giant boobs.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Nice.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was very realistic. One of them was slightly larger than the other.

[Chick McGee]

There it is. See, that joke was just as funny. If you. Here's one especially for Tom. It's the Hershey mobile, Tom. How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's got three gigantic Hershey's kisses on it.

[Chick McGee]

It's a kiss Mobile.

[Tom Griswold]

That's cool.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

And that's drivable, too. Look, there's a. The guy in front windshield up front and.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, you think they got mattresses and the ones in the back.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, how would you like to.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, if you. It's got. It has three. It looks like sort of three distinct tents, if you will.

[Chick McGee]

Wouldn't you just have to call the people at Safelight and say, my. My windshield's broken? Just make no mention of. It's a giant Hershey's Kiss?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's, I believe, a custom item.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, I don't think they have that one on the truck.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, those are. I bet those are pricey. Having been through three windshields in the last few years, I'd like to thank the pebble manufacturers for that.

[Chick McGee]

Was Willie responsible for breaking any of those?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, it's just random.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, I haven't done anything bad in, like, eight months, so I wouldn't say anything like that.

[Jessica Hooker]

Good job, buddy.

[Tom Griswold]

That's high.

[Al Jackson]

I've been keeping it straight for a while.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now, coming up, comedian Mark Shalafu and.

[Chick McGee]

Are you going to continue saying it's.

[Tom Griswold]

Like Foo Fighters, Right?

[Jessica Hooker]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Comedian Al Jackson. Yeah. Okay.

[Jessica Hooker]

We might owe Al an apology.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, he was here last Friday and he got bumped. He got bumped hard.

[Chick McGee]

Sure, it was Hugh Jackman, but still.

[Jessica Hooker]

We all just kind of forgot he.

[Al Jackson]

Was here in my room, where talent goes to die.

[Chick McGee]

Over here. Just go over there and pass. Don't make any trouble.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, sorry, Al. Turns out Wolverine's here, man. No. Yeah, I know. No, I can't believe it either.

[Chick McGee]

There.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

He was just wandering around the hall. He's like, hey, what are you doing this weekend?

[Tom Griswold]

Like, he didn't promote these gigs. By the way, Tom Cruise is here.

[Chick McGee]

I told him, But. But Al, convenient. The pay's the same whether you're on the show or not.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

So there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

He'd been here for three hours, and we just said, okay, we're gonna. We needed an extra seat because we didn't know that. So we put him in the Nuremberg Room and we just. I guess. I think Ace forgot to turn the mic on. I was waving.

[Chick McGee]

You know Nuremberg is a movie coming, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen that?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And they don't have the glass got over there.

[Chick McGee]

Tom, you got a pubic hair on your mouth. In your tongue. Oh, you just picked a hair off your tongue.

[Jessica Hooker]

Don't say that.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I.

[Chick McGee]

What have you been doing? Tom buried a beaver. Tom, front in front of Your son giving him some pointers? Is that what's going on?

[Tom Griswold]

Little birds and the bees discussion?

[Chick McGee]

You know what's hardest part about eating a beaver? Oh, no telling. I have an alternative lifestyle. Something like that. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Now a couple things coming up, including a little Rodney Carrington tribute to the famous bar in Orlando that looks like a pair of boobs. We'll find out about that. Also a couple of quick things. Let's see now. Patty G. Once again in Youngstown this weekend. And you will be. The name of the club is the funny farm. You go to funnyfarmcomedy.com for tickets. Both Friday and Saturday are doing shows.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

FunnyFarmComedyClub.com okay. And Willie's doing Bombs Away comedy in Cincinnati. And you, you find the [e-mail] and.

[Al Jackson]

Chick keeps suggesting they change the name because I'm headlining.

[Chick McGee]

It's not.

[Al Jackson]

It's always been called Bombs Away.

[Chick McGee]

It's always been called Bombs.

[Al Jackson]

Switch it. Just because Willie's in town.

[Chick McGee]

They should have a slogan with a name like Bombs away. It's got to be hilarious. They should.

[Tom Griswold]

That reminds me, speaking of songs, if you come out with your new chick McGee Moody's T shirts, well, it's the new. It's the new Chick. Where did we lose Chick? Right when you said that.

[Al Jackson]

Are you saying 6:38?

[Chick McGee]

Are you saying I'm moody? Answer me. You know, I get when I go into cvs, which is the only place I go on a regular basis.

[Al Jackson]

Are you busy?

[Chick McGee]

Well, no. You know, this is a typical listener. You know I love it when you scream. Answer me. I don't know. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

[Al Jackson]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Willie Griswold.

[Al Jackson]

What's up?

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I hate Stephen Singer sidekick chair there's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee, and here's Tom Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Testing, check. Okay, good. I'm glad to be here.

[Chick McGee]

One, two, three.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now, we were talking about vehicles, trucks, etc, that look like the product that they. That they represent. For example, you've got the wiener mobile. They've got a giant wiener that drives around the country. They're great. They got the peanut mobile, etc. Etc.

[Chick McGee]

And by the way, if you haven't seen the Subaru commercial with the golden retrievers, mom and dad, golden retriever and puppy. Golden retriever in the back. And. And they're driving down the road and the puppy starts barking first, and then the mom starts barking and then the dad barks a little bit. And yes, it's the Oscar Meyer wiener mobile they're coming up on. And of course, dogs love wieners.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's so funny.

[Chick McGee]

And the punchline is, who's driving the Wienermobile? Tom?

[Al Jackson]

Like a bigger dog.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's a dachshund. A wiener dog, of course. Yes.

[Al Jackson]

You've got it back.

[Chick McGee]

That's unbelievable.

[Al Jackson]

This is a real one. Real greatest.

[Chick McGee]

It's a real.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's like a yellow label and a golden retriever. And then. Is that a golden puppy? I'm not sure. And then. And then the doc said it's great.

[Chick McGee]

It's unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

But that doesn't win every award. We were also talking about buildings that look like the product. And there's the famous. Whatever it's called, Longaberger Basket Building. But there's also, in Orlando, there was a famous topless bar that looked like two giant boobs. And you say you've been there, Ms. Hooker?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, I have been there.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, it was. We were. We were in the area for a comedy show and, you know, you're working with five male comedians. What else are you gonna do?

[Chick McGee]

Let's go to the library.

[Tom Griswold]

Get me in trouble. Which one of them gave all this money to some. Well, he's no longer with some young lady. Well, I can. It doesn't really narrow it down that much.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that could be.

[Tom Griswold]

What if you. Sadly, that leads us to this. This is, it turns out, an analysis. Excuse me, of that exact place. It was called the. The Booby Trap. And Rodney Carrington took a trip there. Rodney Carrington is our guest.

[Chick McGee]

I was in Orlando, Florida, here recently.

[Tom Griswold]

I went to Disney world.

[Al Jackson]

I spent $3,000.

[Chick McGee]

I stood in line for 14 hours.

[Al Jackson]

And rode three rides.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Al Jackson]

Not really sure, but I think I.

[Tom Griswold]

Got screwed on that deal.

[Chick McGee]

I was a little sore when I.

[Al Jackson]

Left the Magic Kingdom that afternoon. I'll show up.

[Chick McGee]

Went to a little.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you say bar?

[Al Jackson]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we went to a place down.

[Al Jackson]

There called the Booby Trap. Oh, yeah, that's exactly what the hell that was. A booby trap. And I tell you, I've never been so happy to see a place in all my life.

[Chick McGee]

The building is in the shape of.

[Al Jackson]

Two big old boobies and it's like a Wizard of Oz for grown men, you know. We pulled up to it. I just got out of the truck.

[Chick McGee]

I skipped up to the door.

[Al Jackson]

Little midget answered. He said, can I help you? I said, we're here to see the Wizard.

[Jessica Hooker]

Is she here?

[Chick McGee]

By God, she was.

[Al Jackson]

She had two big old friends with her. And I kind of like that, you know. I tell you, you know, one thing you can't do is lie to your woman when you've been to a bar.

[Mark Shalafu]

You can't do it.

[Al Jackson]

You can't do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Where you been?

[Al Jackson]

How much money did you spend?

[Tom Griswold]

$9,000. Where's the car? They got that, too. Where's your clothes? Hell, I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Who's she? Hell, I thought she was you. You become dumber than hell, don't you?

[Al Jackson]

Then later on, it'll all clear off, you know, y' all be laying in bed together and she'll ask you, well.

[Chick McGee]

Did you like it? Oh, God, no.

[Al Jackson]

It was awful. Big, tall, blonde, big women. I damn near threw up. Whole time I was in there, I.

[Tom Griswold]

Was thinking about you.

[Al Jackson]

I love you, baby. They got a place where I live in Tulsa. There's a bar that'll come get you if you need a ride. They got like a little truck. They go on top.

[Tom Griswold]

Sirens.

[Al Jackson]

They'll pull up in your driveway. No, no, she's here.

[Jessica Hooker]

Pull around the block and I'll run through the houses.

[Tom Griswold]

Rodney Carrington, one of the classics. Rodney heading out on tour once again. We'll look forward to seeing Rodney out there on the road.

Coming up later on, we're gonna hear part of my interview with Tim Allen, the very fine actor and stand up comedian. Tim's gonna do some stand up shows at the Morrison center in Boise, Idaho, January 10th of 2026. It's a Saturday night and then Saturday, February 7th at the Bob Hope Theater in Stockton, California. Also a short Vegas stint. I think it's maybe just the one night, Saturday, April 18th at the MGM Grand David Copperfield Theater in Las Vegas. Tim is a great stand up and I talked to him yesterday. He's going to be spending most of his day today working on Toy Story 5. And they just released the, the trailer. The trailer and the, the, the, the premise of the movie is all the toys are sitting around and the, the kid is handed an iPad. The tablet is introduced and Tim said it's a terrific script. He was really impressed. So that'll be, that'll be great to look forward to. And we'll play a little bit of my interview with Tim and we'll get the whole thing posted on our social media. Coming up, we're going to return grab some news from the sports page. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

Check out the inventory atIhatestevensinger.com. now do you want us to get right to the raccoon in sports because if we're going to do that, we're going to have to open up with the other two raccoon stories that we have. What do you think?

[Al Jackson]

I think we let him get to a Sports cast.

[Chick McGee]

I thought we were still doing letters.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, what? Go ahead. You have a good letter over there.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead. Well, I didn't say good. I said these people take the time to ride.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, that's fine. Go ahead. What have you got?

[Chick McGee]

Heard you talking the other day about do. Having people names.

[Jessica Hooker]

No, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

Says Matt from Effingham, Illinois.

[Jessica Hooker]

It's over.

[Chick McGee]

My wife and I. Our first dog was a tiny little Maltese. We named him Floyd. As in Pretty Boy Floyd.

[Tom Griswold]

Hilarious.

[Chick McGee]

Not only was he a pretty boy, but we also thought it was funny to have a tiny, tiny, little floofy dog named after a gangster.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, that's funny for sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool.

[Chick McGee]

How about that? No.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's the gangster rapper right now? All of them.

[Al Jackson]

No, no, no, I know what he's saying. There's Machine Gun Kelly.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there you go. Go. Yeah, there we go. All right.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't there a guy named David who shot somebody, like, recently? Oh, man, D4VIDS. How you supposed to.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yeah. No, I didn't mean like gangsta rap. I meant. Yes, there's a guy that has his name. And I was. I mentioned this to someone. They go. I said, no, Machine Gun Kelly named after. They go, what do you mean? They weren't aware that he take took the name from. Yeah, there's also a great James Taylor song. It is not a rap surprising called Machine Gun Kelly. You ever heard that one, Pat? Yes, it's a good one. A little. Little support over here. It'd be nice. Okay, back to you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I. Carolina Panther rookie wide receiver Xavier Legat.

[Al Jackson]

I love this guy so much.

[Chick McGee]

Says he ate raccoon for Thanksgiving. Here's Xavier.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, man. I say the deep ball, man.

[Al Jackson]

I really feel like any way that.

[Chick McGee]

I get the ball in my hand.

[Tom Griswold]

I could get it to that end zone.

[Chick McGee]

He scored a touchdown. Since he made those remarks, you gotta love that guy.

[Tom Griswold]

It's so authentic. It reminds me of Paul Thorne. He's got, you know, just. That's where. That's where he's from. I love that. That does sound a little bit like, play it again. Like Forest Gump, don't you think? Oh, man, I say the deep ball, man.

[Al Jackson]

But I really feel like any way.

[Tom Griswold]

That I get the ball in my.

[Al Jackson]

Hand, I could get it to that end zone.

[Chick McGee]

Leggette says he likes raccoon, and he shared his love of raccoon meat with fellow NFL wide receivers Amon Ra and Equanimous St. Brown. During an episode of the St. Brown Podcast, he explained to the. The brothers. I eat raccoon. They are actual brothers, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I understand, but I understand that the reference could also mean of kindred spirits, if you will.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly. Like you and I are brothers.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Brothers in arms, but not really a brother.

[Chick McGee]

I eat raccoon like a raccoon you see in the trash can. I hunt it, kill it, skin them, cook them, eat them. All that he added. The last time he ate raccoon was on Thanksgiving. When asked what raccoon tastes like, Xavier said, everybody tries to say stuff tastes like chicken, but raccoon has its own distinctive taste.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll bet.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I know that where he's from, the, the Arby's there has a sign that says we don't have all the meats.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we have to break away from sports because we have two great raccoon stories. Raccoon stories.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

One of them involves a. A president of the United States.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. Presidents are known for pardoning turkeys each Thanksgiving. But did you know that Calvin Kulage once pardoned a raccoon? According to mental floss, a woman in 1926 sent President Kulage a raccoon for Thanksgiving to add to his dinner table, saying it had some toothsome flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

Toothsome flavor.

[Chick McGee]

Toothsome.

[Tom Griswold]

Ever heard that word?

[Chick McGee]

Is that like gaming? I guess.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Maybe. I think toothsome. Toothsome. I'm not exactly sure.

[Jessica Hooker]

I always thought that referred to the texture.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

To the bite.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, chewy, maybe.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

All right. That makes sense.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. The president, however, decided to pardon the animal instead. The Boston Herald story about the pardon declared, coolidge has a raccoon. Probably won't eat it.

[Chick McGee]

Blowing the lid off that, huh?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. The raccoon was named Rebecca and came to live at the White House with the family's other pets, which included dogs and canaries.

[Tom Griswold]

I think I read somewhere that he. There were a virtual menagerie at the White House when he was there.

[Chick McGee]

Wasn't his nickname Silent Cal?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then I, I was. You know, I don't approve of the turkey forgiving thing.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Just shoot the pardoning of a turkey for Thanksgiving, because if you're going to.

[Tom Griswold]

Pardon the turkey, then you don't go eat one the next day.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you know, they pardon two turkeys turkeys now, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I, I, it's typical government. I'm trying to give it to you both ways, but George H.W. bush officially started the tradition of pardoning a turkey many years ago, so that's how that whole thing started. But I don't think I could eat raccoon.

[Al Jackson]

I try it?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, I would try it.

[Tom Griswold]

You think? Yeah, I'm sure we can get it. There's. What about.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, if the raccoon were deep fried and you dip it in ranch. Ranch.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, then yeah, maybe.

[Al Jackson]

Is it like pasture raised or is it just. Is it a trash fed raccoon?

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't think I would eat one. That was free range.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The one, the NFL guy, that was a free range raccoon.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, he said the ones you find in dumpsters.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, man.

[Al Jackson]

I saw a photo of a raccoon. I think they're actually pretty cute. I think that I'm just scared of them in real life because they surprise you.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I'm scared of them in real life because they have thumbs up. They can open doors.

[Tom Griswold]

But it'd be handy to have a pet raccoon because they could open jars for you.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

A helper raccoon.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

But why not?

[Tom Griswold]

We do have another raccoon story in the news.

[Jessica Hooker]

Scientists say raccoons may be undergoing early stages of domestication as they increasingly adapt to living in close proximity to humans. Researchers report that some populations of raccoons are showing reduced fear of people. People, greater problem solving behavior and more cooperative traits.

[Tom Griswold]

But also they're showing they have smaller noses.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

This is. There's a. I didn't get into the weeds on this one. But they measure the nose size and they think as they're becoming domesticated, sort of an evolutionary process, for whatever reason, their noses are shrinking.

[Jessica Hooker]

Is that weird?

[Chick McGee]

It is weird.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, they're. They're cuter than cats. Wouldn't you agree?

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm not a cat person in my brain.

[Jessica Hooker]

The John Candy movie, the great outdoors, kind of. That's how I see all raccoons because they have this dialogue in the movie as they're going through everybody's trash. And so I always think that raccoons are just talking to each other.

[Tom Griswold]

But they wash their hands.

[Jessica Hooker]

They do wash their hands.

[Chick McGee]

They wash their hands a lot.

[Al Jackson]

They don't use soap, though.

[Jessica Hooker]

No, just Purell.

[Tom Griswold]

But they're.

[Chick McGee]

They're.

[Tom Griswold]

They're cool. Anyway. If anyone's ever eaten a raccoon, by all means let us know. I'm sure somebody out there is.

[Chick McGee]

Probably don't use tools though, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I know otters. You use the rock.

[Tom Griswold]

They've seen otters use it. I don't know. That's a really good question. But it's a little bit of a Calvin Coolage. History for you today. Yeah. And we forgot to do Today in History earlier at all yesterday. So perhaps we can do a double dose of history for you.

[Chick McGee]

Let's.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up a little bit later on. What's. What is. You want to do it right now? Now?

[Chick McGee]

Well, we could. I mean, we're here.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, what do you got? We'll do. We'll do. Here's the music. We'll do a short version of Yesterday in history.

[Chick McGee]

All right. The 19th of November yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday, James Abram Garfield.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Significant because he was famously assassinated by a disgruntled office seeker. But there's a new pretty good miniseries.

[Chick McGee]

Right now on Netflix called Death by Lightning.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's about the assassination of James Abram Garfield.

[Chick McGee]

And somebody asked him, aren't you worried about getting assassinated? And he says, I have more of a chance of my death being caused by lightning. And he was wrong.

[Tom Griswold]

And Garfield the cat is in fact named after James Abram Garfield.

[Al Jackson]

My favorite Garfield story. I was on the show one time and I said, oh, I was driving through a town in Indiana where James Dean and Garfield are fantastic from. And someone wrote and goes, hey, Willie, you idiot, James Garfield was born in Ohio. And I go, buddy, if I'm talking Garfield, I'm talking lasagna and Monday.

[Chick McGee]

All right?

[Al Jackson]

I am not talking President Larry King.

[Tom Griswold]

Born on Yesterday's date in 1933.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, 1833.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I was always a huge Larry King fan. Especially he used to have an overnight radio coast to coast show that was.

[Chick McGee]

Just right there in the middle when you could catch it overnight. That was the best.

[Tom Griswold]

That was better than. Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Better than the TV show. Better than.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. According to this account. Married eight times.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, so an incredible loser.

[Tom Griswold]

He never found his Larry Queen, if you will.

[Chick McGee]

That is kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll like this one chick. Yeah, this guy's still with us. Born in 1936. Dick Cavett.

[Chick McGee]

Love Dick Cavett. Who Love him.

[Tom Griswold]

He hosted a talk show in what, several times. Seventies?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Six. Late sixties, seventy. Wrote for Johnny Carson. Really interesting guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Famous episode. Was that. Wasn't that the show where Hendrix fell asleep? Was, oh, Sly Stone nodded off. Was that the one?

[Chick McGee]

Nodded off.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Lily Tomlin got up and walked off the show from medical center.

[Jessica Hooker]

Was saying that he owned his wife.

[Chick McGee]

He said no. He said he has. He had. He has animals that he loves. Loves my dogs, my horse, my wife. I. I'm the proud owner of all those animals. And Lily Tomlin got off and walked up. Is she, Is she teasing or is she going to be back. And Dick goes, I don't think she's coming back.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember the time they tried to make a movie with Lily Tomlin? And as the romantic interest of John Travolta, dude moment.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, that's a moment. Moment.

[Jessica Hooker]

I just saw that movie poster somewhere and I was like, that's. That's AI. That's not real.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's real.

[Chick McGee]

Kind of famous by being infamous.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, you know, so I don't know how they made that pitch, but they were two very famous people. Let's put them together romantically.

[Jessica Hooker]

And both gay.

[Tom Griswold]

No one didn't tap him in the.

[Chick McGee]

Shoulder and go, oh, you're on the John Travolta.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I don't know, but. Oh, in any event, John Travolta won't.

[Chick McGee]

Be on the show. You saw how Hugh Jackman walked right on here. It might be troll the next.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday to Alison Janney. Great actress.

[Al Jackson]

She is great.

[Chick McGee]

I thought you were going to say Allison change. That's what I thought.

[Al Jackson]

My ear went to Alison. Happy birthday, Alice. Take the chance.

[Chick McGee]

Alison Janney in the new season of the Diplomat.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

I love that show.

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday yesterday. Adam Driver, terrific actor.

[Jessica Hooker]

So handsome.

[Tom Griswold]

And this is interesting. The number one song on this date in 1949. Yesterday's date in 1949. And this is kind of unusual because think about what yesterday's date was.

[Chick McGee]

Boats.

[Tom Griswold]

Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. 49. Too early.

[Chick McGee]

Well, even then they had trouble holding Christmas off until after Thanksgiving.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. I mean, I've got the Christmas lights at my house. I got the switch ready to throw, but I'm not turning them on.

[Al Jackson]

I mean, you guys know it when you get Rudolph fever. You just got to throw it on. And everyone's throwing it on. It spreads like a fire.

[Tom Griswold]

Brutal fever.

[Jessica Hooker]

Does anybody have their tree up?

[Al Jackson]

Not I. Not I.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

I have the one up. Up in parts room.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's her idea though, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, but it's cool.

[Chick McGee]

Did you indulge Willie?

[Tom Griswold]

Like everybody have their own tree in.

[Chick McGee]

The young child, if he'd wanted his own tree.

[Al Jackson]

I told him I'm not going to talk about this unless there's a therapist present. So unless Mark has a day job where he's helping people out, I was.

[Chick McGee]

Not up to speed on that. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'm sure. I think Willie had some Christmas lights on his bed or something like that. He had a. Quite a. Quite a elaborate room.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Lots of semi pornographic magazines floating around.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't you have a Hammock like Gilligan.

[Al Jackson]

Here we go. The guy who I stole the pornographic magazines from. What are you talking about? And you maintain they're from the station. They weren't in your bedroom. There was a pile of newspapers.

[Chick McGee]

You even lie to your kids.

[Al Jackson]

Go to back left. You pull because you not your shoe. All the clothes classics. That's where I got women of the Big 12. That's where I got. And guess what chick. But you bet they had a little bit of fun with the pun in Big 12.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, they sure did.

[Al Jackson]

That's where I got the women of Starbucks. That was the ladies. You had a belly button ring. It was like a zipper. That gave me a thing for a while.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Jessica Hooker]

Who, who still keeps the porn in the.

[Chick McGee]

I do not know how that. I don't know how that keeps going. I've never seen.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll tell you off the ear, okay?

[Jessica Hooker]

I want to know.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll be able to guess. Do you remember there's a famous.

[Chick McGee]

Even if you're not familiar, still here.

[Tom Griswold]

Here with Dick Cavett where it's, it's. He's doing a live commercial, okay, for this lawnmower. And it's the. Remember this? And the slogan was it starts first time every time.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He can't get it to start. And he looks up and he goes. And they're quiet too.

[Chick McGee]

He's a great. Oh, he's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up.

[Chick McGee]

I love him.

[Tom Griswold]

[Jessica Hooker]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, there's Willie Griswold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I hate Steven Singer, sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick Magee at the Prize Picks sports desk. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Not to say that I'm a little disorganized.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm getting my computer straightened out here. Yeah, it had some kind of computer trouble. Well, it. They did. They did an upgrade and everything is chaotic, but we were doing yesterday in History a new feature. We pretty much got the cool stuff out there. We. It was the anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. Of course that's important, but this is. This is interesting for us.

[Chick McGee]

Do you think people who live there now go. Yes, that's my Gettysburg Address.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Probably not. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, I don't think that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Is that all right? If you have two places. You got a place in Tampa.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Al Jackson]

So are you. No, send it to my Gettysburg Address. It's a good time.

[Chick McGee]

That's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

If you to. There has to be someone that has a license plate numeral. Four score.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

In Gaddy in Pennsylvania. What do you think? Now, in 1911, on yesterday's date, New York received the first Marconi Wireless from Italy. But remember, isn't it interesting that they used to call a radio a wireless. And now it's what, Bluetooth?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How. How times. How times have changed. And I don't know if you remember this one, but in 1980, CBS banned the Brooke Shields Calvin Klein commercial.

[Chick McGee]

I didn't realize CBS had banned that. I knew it was banned, but I thought it. Well, I don't know what I thought.

[Jessica Hooker]

Was she topless and. But covered?

[Chick McGee]

She was. Yeah. You can see her from the side, kind of sort of.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Al Jackson]

I think the big. She was 15, right?

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that may have been the big deal.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That.

[Jessica Hooker]

She was a child.

[Mark Shalafu]

I know.

[Chick McGee]

She was young. Well, a Pretty Baby was a movie she was in. Right.

[Al Jackson]

And Blue Lagoon.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. Blue Lagoon.

[Tom Griswold]

That was.

[Jessica Hooker]

That was weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Yikes. And then lastly, the whole harbor. Yesterday's day, Millie Vanilli was stripped of their Grammy baby. And by the way, in the great circle of life. This is really odd, but the surviving members of. If you don't remember, Millie Vanilli was purported to be the singing duo. But their album. They had not done any of the singing. No, it was all studio musicians and studio singers.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And these were two very cut, if you will, beautiful men, handsome men.

[Chick McGee]

And didn't sing live in concert.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right. Ever.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, but not like now.

[Tom Griswold]

In the. In the great circle of life, they were stripped of their Grammy, but the surviving members at. Rob, Rob, Rob or Fab, whichever one is still alive, has been. I'm not kidding. Is nominated for a Grammy this year for a spoken word for his book.

[Jessica Hooker]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So that's very. That is full circle.

[Chick McGee]

I'll.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll look it up. We'll do my homework. By the way, we were touching on the fact that Calvin Coolidge was given a raccoon to eat for Thanksgiving when he was president. He did not eat Rebecca the raccoon. But I had read somewhere that he had a lot of pets. I did a little homework here. At least 26 animals were in the Coolidge White House. Twelve dogs, which is the way I would like to live if I were in the White House.

[Chick McGee]

Twelve.

[Tom Griswold]

Twelve dogs.

[Chick McGee]

That's too many.

[Tom Griswold]

At our peak, we had six.

[Chick McGee]

That's like nine.

[Tom Griswold]

We had six at my house. That was.

[Chick McGee]

I remember. At your peak you couldn't say how many dogs you had because it was illegal in the county we live in.

[Tom Griswold]

That's correct. He had several cats. He had canaries, the famous raccoon. And briefly, that raccoon had a male counterpart who escaped. But he had a bobcat, a wallaby, a black bear, an antelope, a donkey, a goose, a pygmy hippopotamus named Billy A. I've never heard of these last two animals. A duiker D U I K E R Anybody?

[Jessica Hooker]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

And a C O A T I A coat that's some kind of cat. Like I don't know what they are. And he had many birds, including a mockingbird. So it's time for us to move back.

[Chick McGee]

You remember the call of the mockingbird, right? You remember the colony mockingbird, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay. We are visiting the Sports page with Chick Magee.

[Chick McGee]

He doesn't want to play Major League Baseball. Says it will comply. You love these stories, Tom. With a Senate committee's request for documents on gambling investigations, Senators Ted Cruz and Maria Cantwell. Talk about a pretty good name. Sent a letter to Commissioner Rob Manfred asking for information by December 5th. This follows the indictments of Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz, who are accused of taking bribes to rig pitches during games. They have pleaded not guilty. Manfred says Major League Baseball's internal investigation has no timetable. TABLE MLB also aiding players who have received threats related to gambling. Manfred avoided discussing management's position in collective bargaining for a new labor contract that is right around the corner.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that they're eliminating a lot of the prop bets because that's where they're there.

[Chick McGee]

You could bet on an individual pitch being a ball strike.

[Tom Griswold]

Suddenly they'd see $200,000 being bet on one pitch and then going, wait a minute, right? This doesn't make sense. But I'm certainly glad the federal government's getting involved because they got nothing else to do these days.

[Chick McGee]

Have you ever been to Berea, Ohio? I know, like Gaia Berea.

[Tom Griswold]

It's just with a B. Berea.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Shador Sanders will make his. That's where the Browns training camp. That's where they practice. Shador will make his first NFL start on Sunday in Vegas.

[Al Jackson]

Here we go.

[Chick McGee]

The Browns turn the high profile quarterback while fellow rookie Dylan Gabriel recovers from a concussion. Sanders replaced Gabriel for the second half of last week's 23:16, lost to Baltimore. It was not good. Sanders, 4 out of 16, had a QBR of 13.5.

[Al Jackson]

He's when he played at CU Boulder. I went there for four years. Did not graduate, but I did go there.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

He's fun to watch. He can be like a video game sometimes.

[Chick McGee]

Sometimes.

[Al Jackson]

Sometimes he's throwing deep balls. He's great. But yeah, a lot of the time it's been kind of tough. So I'm excited, man, for.

[Chick McGee]

For sure to get in there.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, I got a Shador Boulder jersey.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Al Jackson]

If he plays well here, that's jersey's gonna be worth something someday.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there you go.

[Al Jackson]

If not, I'll just wear it on weekends alone.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. All right.

[Al Jackson]

Home alone. Wearing the jersey hanging out.

[Chick McGee]

Falcons quarterback Michael Pennix Jr. That's Penix, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I know. Know.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

P E N I X again. That poor guy in junior high school. Can you imagine?

[Chick McGee]

He probably sailed right through at no problem at all.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. I bet a lot of grief from the upperclassmen.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway.

[Al Jackson]

Willie, what are you talking about?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Premiere pov. This is crazy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You did that on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Your name is Willie Penix.

[Chick McGee]

Willie Penis. Yeah. Anyway, Pennix has had season ending surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

[Tom Griswold]

But Hispanics is okay.

[Chick McGee]

Kurt Cousins will start for the Falcons for the rest of the season. The wealthy oceanfront town of Carmel, California has banned pickleball in its public park after residents complain that the con constant sound of paddles striking balls is way too noisy. The Carmel City Council voted earlier this month to permanently prohibit the sport at Force Hill park park, the only public pickleball location within city limits of Carmel, marking the first such ban in the state.

[Tom Griswold]

They prefer the unused tennis courts. Just sit there.

[Chick McGee]

Residents report that the popping sound had been echoing through the neighborhood as players participated in pickleball. It's a very popular sport among seniors and retirees. The council put a temporary ban in place last month until it came up with a permanent solution. Their best idea was to require softer paddles and softer balls to reduce the noise from the hard plastic balls being hit by Wooden paddles.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

There you go. And here it comes, Tom. Stupid world record. An octogenarian from New Jersey. How old was that, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

80 something.

[Chick McGee]

At our boy. He. She's become the oldest one woman to finish the Ironman world championship. Natalie Graybow started participating in triathlons in her 60s. Earned the Guinness World Record after competing in the challenge at the age of 80. 80 years, 69 days old. She completed her race in 16 hours 45 minutes 26 seconds. Said she hopes her record sends a message to others. No matter what your age, it's never too late to start following your passion.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they need to rename it Iron Man? I mean, Iron Woman.

[Al Jackson]

Iron Old Woman?

[Chick McGee]

Men are still running it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean, she ran it. She did it. But will you bike.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, by the way. 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, 26.2 mile marathon.

[Al Jackson]

That's crazy.

[Chick McGee]

And she did that in 16:45:26. Kind of a badass.

[Tom Griswold]

Great.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you see the picture of her? She's. No, not drinking a Gatorade. She's downing. And sure.

[Al Jackson]

I'm fine with that.

[Chick McGee]

I'll play ball. Make your bone. Make your bones. Yeah, yeah. Good for her. You don't want to snap a hip while you're out there on the bike.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you. You go girl. As they say.

[Jessica Hooker]

They say. You definitely don't.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you go girl.

[Jessica Hooker]

Cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Now your look today, Ms. Hooker.

[Jessica Hooker]

Uhhuh.

[Tom Griswold]

Which, which. What do you think you look like today?

[Chick McGee]

What do you think?

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't. I, I, I.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, a little bit of a Scooby Doo thing going on here. I know.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. That's the one that comes up the most.

[Chick McGee]

Well, no, the, the lady who designs the costumes on the Incredibles.

[Al Jackson]

Edna mode. Yeah. Edna mode is also right there.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Al Jackson]

You know about Edna mode?

[Jessica Hooker]

I do, I do. From the Incredibles. Yeah, yeah. I don't.

[Chick McGee]

I mean, but, but you're right. Not Daphne. What's the other one?

[Jessica Hooker]

Velma.

[Chick McGee]

Velma?

[Tom Griswold]

Velma.

[Chick McGee]

The possibly alternative lifestyle Velma.

[Jessica Hooker]

She's a lesbian.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's has not been the.

[Al Jackson]

You know, there are corners of the Internet that are very worried about her. Thoroughly studied within pornography. I just gotta say, I think we need to do even more research because we're just figuring out more and more every day.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's true.

[Chick McGee]

You're right.

[Tom Griswold]

She is a cartoon. So I don't think it matters a lot all that much.

[Chick McGee]

Haven't you seen the hot cartoons Homer And Marge going at it. I don't want to see Fred and Wil.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Okay. Well, now, what's coming up in the news?

[Jessica Hooker]

What is coming up in the news? Something happened in Australia.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Something happened in Australia. That is newsworthy.

[Jessica Hooker]

An ATM was stolen with a forklift.

[Al Jackson]

That's fine.

[Jessica Hooker]

They've named the new snake after the late Steve Irwin. Well, we'll talk about that. That's a happy, uplifting story.

[Chick McGee]

And we've got a special presentation for Willie. He needs to be caught up on this. There has been a school of thought. You talked about Internet rumors. There's a rumor about this show that Tom is not an actual person. He's an alien sent here to study life.

[Al Jackson]

I've been thinking that since I was 14.

[Chick McGee]

And he does the best he can. And we have presentations to illustrate that fact. Time now for the alien who just discovered things here on Earth.

[Tom Griswold]

If you've never been to a WNBA game, the presentation is great. They've got scoreboards.

[Chick McGee]

This has been the aliens Very, very elaborate scoreboard.

[Tom Griswold]

Replays was really quite, quite something.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Chick McGee.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Pat, what topic were we discussing?

[Al Jackson]

Oh, it was carmel by the sea out there in California.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, the issue with the pickleball. Oh, I had an issue with the pickle ball and the paddle. And the ball's hitting the paddle. It's too loud.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom, they're banning pickleball because of the sound.

[Al Jackson]

Okay, by they think that pickle ball's wild. They haven't seen pickleball naked pickle ball Sweaty in summer nippy in fall Playing pickleball naked pickle ball except for shoes they're wearing nothing at all Flapping parts in private places Meemaws hoo ha's in their faces Incontinence in eventuality Seniors nudist colony Playing pickleball naked pickleball Gramps micro dickel is mighty small Playing pickleball naked pickleball Try not to fall on your pickling balls Hoops are flopping Knees are bruised Hips replaced and backs are fused Sagging sacks are waving in the breeze Take one to the nuts and you're down on your knees Playing pickleball naked pickleball Tripping, falling An ambulance is called Playing pickleball naked pickleball Past their prime in the au natural hey, pickleball's all the rage for folks of a certain age. But nudity is best left to the young. Look at them having fun wrinkling in the sun.

[Tom Griswold]

I had no idea Saul was so well hung.

[Al Jackson]

Playing pickleball naked pickleball Better than swim or walk in the mall Playing pickleball naked pickleball With Esther, Clem, Thelma and.

[Tom Griswold]

Big D. Saul, Remember this? We had a story not too long ago about a guy. Remember? They saw him, he was at a chainsaw.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And he was naked.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a really bad idea.

[Al Jackson]

He was, like, on his own property. He was Walmart with a chainsaw naked. Gotta add some context to that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but I mean, very different.

[Al Jackson]

He was crazy, but he's not like crazy crazy.

[Jessica Hooker]

He's at home crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I assume he was. I hope he was wearing at least eye protection.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

You know, chainsaws are gloves. Crazy dangerous anyway. Unless you know what you're doing.

[Tom Griswold]

You slip with the chainsaw. Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

I bought a chainsaw when I lived alone. Don't do that.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Jessica Hooker]

And then I read where you have to add oil to it. There's a, there's something in the, in the chain and the, in the blade and the oil. And I had extra virgin olive oil and I thought, well, this has got to work.

[Al Jackson]

This is great.

[Jessica Hooker]

It doesn't. It doesn't. It locks it up.

[Chick McGee]

Not just any oil. Oil.

[Jessica Hooker]

No. Apparently there is chainsaw specific oil.

[Al Jackson]

What you do is you dip your hands in the, in the oil, then you turn the chainsaw on.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay, I'll try that next time.

[Chick McGee]

It's a wonder more people don't put washer fluid into the oil. Oh, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

Because they kind of.

[Tom Griswold]

Unless they're really well marked.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. I can't imagine how you've navigated that.

[Tom Griswold]

Because I put usually, usually the washer fluid cap has the little washer sign on it.

[Chick McGee]

Windshield wiper on. Yeah. But there are.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. If you're going to be doing some fluid changing, you may want to Google that, see what's happening on YouTube. YouTube. This says Minnesota man spotted using a chainsaw on the nude. Witnesses told a responding deputy the 66 year old man was outside chainsawing while quote, butt, ass naked. That did lead us to a discussion about the difference between butt naked and buck naked. Both are used in English, but buck naked was the original, more widely accepted form.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

And butt, ass naked is. That's another level of naked. Right. Like it's aggressively naked.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

I mean, that's nothing. No socks even.

[Jessica Hooker]

No. Yeah. No hat.

[Chick McGee]

What's the difference between nude and all nude?

[Jessica Hooker]

That means everyone at the, at the facility is nude.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, no, no. I think all nude was for a certain type of topless bar that went to the. Unfortunately went to the next level.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, bottomless.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know, one of Dougie Doug Stanhope's weddings, he. Everybody was nude naked, including the Elvis impersonate.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you know who else did that, believe it or not?

[Jessica Hooker]

Who?

[Tom Griswold]

Kenny Loggins had a naked wedding. Yes. That right? Yes. In the woods.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

House at Pooh Corner.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's in his. It's in his book. It's in his book. He met. And this is also true. Kenny Loggetts met one of his wives and he's been married. Quite a foot loose.

[Chick McGee]

He might have had a foot and a half loose, am I right?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, parenthetical to this, I know someone that knows him quite well, and apparently he does have a foot loose. That's a little bonus. Besides being a great six singer with.

[Jessica Hooker]

A name like Kenny Loggins, it does sound like he would be hung.

[Tom Griswold]

But yeah, in his book, he met one of his wives while getting an enema. Oh, she was. She was giving. What do they call the high end enemas? A colonic. That's right. Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's a. I guess, kind of an icebreaker.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You wouldn't have that done?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm not trying that.

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't think you would flirt.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know, is it legal here or what's the vagaries of this?

[Tom Griswold]

In some states, I think you have to have a.

[Chick McGee]

You have to have a barber's license or something.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure. Yeah, but I know there's. There are places where they actually. This is true. It doesn't sound like it is, but it is. They read the leaves as. They're not the leaves, but they, they, they. As the fluid goes out there, someone interprets it.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. They have it in a giant tube, like almost. It's in a frame with just the glass and then the tube goes through it and as it's leaving your body, you can. Can see it. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And there are people who have been trained in theory to analyze or analyze in this case, what is. What's actually happening. Yeah, that's. Those are all true, true facts about Kenny Loggins. Speaking of. Speaking of nudity, then we had the. We last week we had the bowling nudity thing. But now they have to. They remember they have to wear shoes.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Well, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

That was at a bowling alley in Pittsburgh. They do. They call it balls out bowling. But they do have to wear bowling shoes.

[Chick McGee]

Shoes.

[Tom Griswold]

That's got to be a great look.

[Chick McGee]

And it's a private event, I think. People can't come in off the street and.

[Tom Griswold]

No, you can be you, but there are right rules. You have to. Sure.

[Al Jackson]

I'll be naked in shoes. Probably twice a year, something happens. You got to go to the garage.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Al Jackson]

Didn't have clothes on. Socks, shoes.

[Jessica Hooker]

Real run to the basement.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

You're in there. You feel like a freak for a little bit, but it is kind of fun.

[Tom Griswold]

You ever had to drive your car.

[Al Jackson]

Nude haven't had to. But I have for fun. One time I have.

[Chick McGee]

Not really.

[Al Jackson]

Just. Just not how. So now we're back to the nude. Full nude.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, okay.

[Al Jackson]

Shirt off. I've driven my car. Shirt off.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean nude.

[Al Jackson]

No, just like underwear. One time as a joke at the.

[Tom Griswold]

Old house, I had to run out.

[Chick McGee]

And if you are driving your car.

[Tom Griswold]

Just to my and bring it into.

[Jessica Hooker]

The garage, I'll move the car.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Do you put a towel down?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I was, it was an emergency. There was a hail storm coming and my car was outside.

[Chick McGee]

So you ran out. Out naked. Did you have slippers on?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I didn't. I did. Just immediately went outside barefooting it.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'll tell you what, when you sit in those leather seats, it look cool. Yeah, it's, it's, it's chilling.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's chilling.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Fortunately there was no, no one around them. There were a lot. That house was surrounded by a wooded area.

[Chick McGee]

Did you get, did you get goosebumps when you sat down there?

[Al Jackson]

Come on, tell us all.

[Tom Griswold]

Dad, it was, it was pre. It was many years ago. Otherwise I would have taken a picture for you.

[Chick McGee]

Slight erection.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up. An absolutely bizarre side effect that may be happening with Viagra. That is really something.

[Al Jackson]

Erections.

[Tom Griswold]

No, not that. That's the intended main one, isn't it? Then? Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Another adventure with is Tom and Alien coming up.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay, Very good. And comedian when you come back, comedian Mark Shalafu. And I'll remind you also Pat Godwin, Youngstown Funny Farm. Friday and Saturday go to funnyfarmcomedyclub.com for tickets. And Willie, Cincinnati Saturday only. Bombs away Comedy go to bombsawaycomedy.com these are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Mark Shalafu]

Thanks for listening. Portions of the show brought to you by Champion Windows. This is the Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

Up.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Jess Hooker at the Silac Insurance news day desk.

[Jessica Hooker]

Hi.

[Tom Griswold]

Indeed.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hello. There's Willie Griswold. Morning. He's the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick mcgee at the Prize Picks sports desk. Here's Tom with our special guest.

[Tom Griswold]

Handsome man just walked in. Good looking guy, Mark Shalafu. Hello, Mark. Good to see you again.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, it's great to be back.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark is on his way to Goan, Indiana where he will be Entertaining the Amish.

[Chick McGee]

He's using someone's voice and I can't place it, but I will, by gosh.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Mark Shalafu]

You'll figure it out eventually.

[Chick McGee]

I will. It's like a big figure it out eventually.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now I gotta.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Can you count to 10 so I can figure out?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, just go through it all. Yeah, sure.

[Chick McGee]

And abcd. I.

[Tom Griswold]

You're right. I do. It'll come to me.

[Chick McGee]

Timber. Kind of an alto, but no.

[Tom Griswold]

Marco. Good to see you, sir. I can't see. Is that a sporting team hat you have on? I can't tell.

[Mark Shalafu]

It's a comedy club hat. Okay. A lot of comedians, you wear the.

[Chick McGee]

Free merch, but you can tell. No, you can tell that Tom's a big sports fan because he uses the term like sporting team hat.

[Mark Shalafu]

The sports club. You're supporting the sports club out there.

[Chick McGee]

That is, my friend, a sporting team hat.

[Tom Griswold]

The.

[Chick McGee]

The.

[Tom Griswold]

The logo that represents a sporting team. For example, Willie has on a really cool Indianapolis Colts cap.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. The. The off cool. The light blue, the powder blue.

[Al Jackson]

I appreciate the compliment. I like this, man.

[Chick McGee]

The Charger blue a little bit.

[Al Jackson]

Since I got this. Colts are great. This is the Daniel Jones era.

[Chick McGee]

There you go, Willy.

[Al Jackson]

Light blue hat era. I like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Can you put on. You better put on a Pacer hat. Yikes.

[Al Jackson]

I don't want. Why would you bring that up in.

[Chick McGee]

Front of me right now?

[Al Jackson]

We're having so much fun talking about the Colts.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, sorry.

[Mark Shalafu]

We're talking about the power of your hats. You can throw a Washington general's hat on and all of a sudden Globetrotters every day.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, everything.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that song. The power of hats. Well, since you're going to be wearing some free merch, we'll give you one of those beautiful Bob and Tom show sweatshirts behind you. $29.95, by the way. You can purchase those. I forgot to mention this. Ms. Hooker did quite a bit of work to get these organized. We have a pop up store that's popped [e-mail].

[Chick McGee]

It popped up?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And it's going to be popping up just for a couple more days.

[Jessica Hooker]

We're going to extend the pop up shop through Sunday.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, you've got the weekend to shop now.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. God, I hate that. Where was I? See, it made me lose my train of thought. Oh, I know. I was going to say, while you're there, go to bob and tom.com contest because you can register and make your picks, I should say, for week 12 in the NFL. And you could win that $500 gift card from Steven Singer Jewelers just like Mr. John Coop did. We'll talk to him a little bit later on with the shoeing of the week pick. Mark Shalafou, are you a sports fan?

[Mark Shalafu]

I am a big sports guy, and I've become more of a sports fan since coaching my kids in youth sports. That's been an adventure because you learn right away how good your team is going to be just based on what name they pick. Like our Tigers, they were undefeated this season. The mint chocolate chip ice cream. They were not. They had a rough season for the mint chocolate chip ice cream. I do. What's fun about coaching, too is like, I remember when I was a kid, all of our coaches would just hit us with like, the empty cliches about like, oh, it's all about the name on the front of the jersey, not the name on the back of the jersey. Our team name wasn't on the front of our jersey.

[Chick McGee]

It was just the logo of the.

[Mark Shalafu]

Company that sponsored our jerseys. And it was the county liquor store for us. So that's a weird rallying cry for seven year olds to get behind o' Brien's wine.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever been.

[Chick McGee]

Let's go, winos.

[Tom Griswold]

In all truth, have you ever been to Graceland?

[Mark Shalafu]

I have not.

[Tom Griswold]

In Memphis. Oh, it's. You've been to Graceland? Yeah, a couple times.

[Al Jackson]

I love it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Ms. Hooker, you've been to Graceland?

[Jessica Hooker]

I have not.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's. It's a great tour. Of course.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

It ends kind of sad because, you know, you got Elvis and family buried in the back like a pet dog. But I'm not joking when I say this, and I. I can get backed up on this. Have you been there?

[Mark Shalafu]

Check.

[Chick McGee]

I've not been to Graceland.

[Tom Griswold]

No Elvis.

[Chick McGee]

I have no desire to get.

[Tom Griswold]

Elvis was a really good guy. I mean, he, He. He. He would buy cars for. He just was this really generous soul. Certainly had his ups and downs. But he sponsored a bunch of little league teams. And so, you know, they've. They've got the pictures of them, you know, the so and so, the Elvis team.

[Mark Shalafu]

That's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

But it would have been really cool, I thought, if they'd had their, like, baseball uniforms with a really high collar.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, man, their baseball helmets. They call your team the Burning Loves.

[Chick McGee]

And they do that.

[Al Jackson]

Like the Elvis hair going back.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but maybe those glasses messes with the. Remember the, with the. The holes?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, it's not gonna be fun sliding in A third base with studs all over your jerseys.

[Tom Griswold]

You have to wonder if you ever came to one of the games.

[Mark Shalafu]

Oh, that'd be great. Tried to go incognito so nobody would recognize him with just some sunglasses.

[Tom Griswold]

They're great stories about Elvis. My favorites. He was. He had badges from cops all over the. You know, police departments would give him badges. And Elvis. Elvis quite literally would pull people over on the outskirts of Memphis in his Cadillac convertible. Can you imagine if you're just. You're driving into Memphis, you're going a little quick, you get pulled over by some guy, and then the King walks.

[Chick McGee]

Up to you, you know, washed up. Oh, man.

[Tom Griswold]

You know. Yeah. Oh, man.

[Chick McGee]

A license of registration.

[Tom Griswold]

And of course, famously, he got the. He got that badge from Richard Nixon. Oh, yeah. And that's the most. By the way, the most popular thing at the Nixon Museum is the postcard of Elvis and that picture. Richard Nixon.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And that. By the way, if you've ever read about that event, they didn't know that was going to happen. Elvis just showed up and Nixon was in his office and some guy ringing.

[Jessica Hooker]

So weird.

[Tom Griswold]

Elvis is outside and they brought him in. It's. It's a classic. But we're talking with comedian Mark Shalafu. And now, how many kids you have?

[Mark Shalafu]

I've got three kids. And, yeah, that's a real fun journey because the first kid is obviously, you're way locked into that. That. And that's exciting. And then you get to that third kid and the milestones are not quite as fun anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

Careful. Well, because I'm just telling you right now, you're looking at kid number three right there.

[Mark Shalafu]

So I'm sure you can relate to the fact that, you know, the parents don't care as much about some of the milestones.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, where's Willy? I think we left him in the pantry. I'm not sure.

[Al Jackson]

It's kind of weird because he has seven and you're not going to have this issue because you seem like a respectable guy. It's kind of. It's like 1, you care, and then 2 you less, and then 3 less, and then now it bounces back up, and now 6 and 7, they're getting love out of this world. Nobody even knows about this kind of thing.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, you're just at the wrong end of that curve. Then that's what's really hurts.

[Al Jackson]

It's sort of a horseshoe situation. But it's all right.

[Tom Griswold]

You're deep in the valley of the curve.

[Al Jackson]

I'm doing pretty cool, man.

[Chick McGee]

I'M hanging out.

[Mark Shalafu]

I mean, I try and hide it with mine, but it's just like, you know, the first time I found out that we were gonna have kids, my wife, it was a big dinner. She surprised me at that. That the third time, it was a text message. That's how she told me. And she sent me a picture of a positive pregnancy test. And I remember staring at that, just thinking like, wow, I really hope she meant to send this to somebody else. But here we are with our third.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember that commercial a couple years ago they were running? I. I haven't seen it lately. It was the pregnancy test thing. And they, you know, they cut to the positive test and they're really happy. You have to wonder if they thought about doing the other one.

[Jessica Hooker]

The opposite. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, the guy is sweating bullets.

[Mark Shalafu]

He gets his life back.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, things are great here. Sorry I had to move across the country.

[Al Jackson]

When she said the photo of the pregnancy test, was she mad that you did the thumbs up reaction?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, just do that and then never acknowledge it again till nine months later.

[Tom Griswold]

Do your kids have weird names or normal ones?

[Mark Shalafu]

My kids have normal names. I did. You know, it was tough for us because, you know, the first one was born in New York City on Madison Avenue. We named her Madison.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, cool.

[Mark Shalafu]

And then the second daughter, you know, was born at a hospital on Martin Luther King Boulevard in Cincinnati. So you can't really name your daughter that. That would have been tricky.

[Tom Griswold]

So little Dr. King.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, right. Little pale red head, like white skinned MLK Jr. Yeah. So we had to go with some real names for them.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you mind if I asked what they were?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, we went with Madison, Emma, Chloe. By the time we got to the third, because it's all girls too, which is tricky. So we just kind of ran out of, like, good names to pull from. So we just went with the weird Kardashian and we got a Chloe. So that's how it happens.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, had any of them been boys? Did you have names picked out?

[Mark Shalafu]

Oh, yeah, I had all sorts of names. I wanted all sorts of boys. I was gonna go John, maybe a little Mark Junior. Although you can never really pull that off anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

You. Well, that's always a trouble. I always say John Hinckley Jr. And then that. That ends that discussion. So you were going to go with the Junior.

[Mark Shalafu]

I think that would have been fun. I don't know that my wife would have gone for that. You know, she probably wouldn't have pulled the trigger on that, but I could have gone with a Mark Jr. In the mix.

[Chick McGee]

What wasn't it at one point, moms would name daughters after them and they'd be a junior. Right.

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't. I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Did that ever become a thing?

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's a lot rarer for a female child named after the mom.

[Chick McGee]

Jess and Jesse or something. Maybe for the kids.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah, maybe.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, maybe.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Well, I had to go straightforward. Just more straightforward because my last name stinks. Like, shallow is not a fun last name for them to have. So they can't have a weird first name too like that. Too much trouble.

[Chick McGee]

We've got to come up with some fake French that means shallow. Means that like hog in the kitchen or something.

[Mark Shalafu]

See, I wish it did. I did look up what it actually meant and I was hoping it would be like warrior or something.

[Chick McGee]

Cool.

[Tom Griswold]

What does it mean?

[Mark Shalafu]

Bald man.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Bald.

[Mark Shalafu]

That's fun.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you bald?

[Mark Shalafu]

Not yet.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Mark Shalafu]

Not even living up to my name. It's not great for my daughters.

[Tom Griswold]

You could have gone with a rhyme. Like, I mean, I don't know, boo Boo Shalafu or.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah. If I wanted her to have a reality show.

[Chick McGee]

Here comes.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark. Shalafu is our guest. And Mark is going to be on the road and a lot of spots doing some great comedy, including Goshen, Indiana, this weekend, the famous hilarities in Cleveland, December 4th through the 6th. Planet of the tapes in Louisville. Is this a new club? What's.

[Mark Shalafu]

They've been around a couple years. I'm excited about going down there. I've not been there before. I've heard nothing but great things about it. So it's cool.

[Al Jackson]

They still have a video rental space in the back. They do a lot of, like, cool, nerdy stuff. Saying that in a nice way.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's great. And then the famous skyline comedy club in Appleton, Wisconsin, coming up right after Christmas. And then in Cincinnati, you'll be back at the Commonwealth comedy club on January 3rd.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Lulu Shalafu's fun.

[Tom Griswold]

That's cool.

[Mark Shalafu]

I don't love Lucy as much. That seems a little old fashioned.

[Tom Griswold]

That's my daughter.

[Mark Shalafu]

Oh, wow. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Well, thanks for coming by. Mark.

[Mark Shalafu]

You really buffed that one. You can't get that. That's why you have to have seven kids. Then get a few more cracks out.

[Chick McGee]

Get it right.

[Tom Griswold]

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

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tob Show. There's Jess Hooker at the news desk. Hello, there's Pat Godwin. Hey, chick. Great pickleball song. I'm, I'm walking around the hallway humming it. Tom, do you find pickleball naked? Pickleball. There's Willie Griswold.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, what's going on?

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's the guy With a big D in the naked pickleball. Saul. Saul. Okay. Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick mcgee at the prize pick sports desk. Hello, Tom. We have a special guest joining us.

[Tom Griswold]

In the studio, comedian mark Shalafu. Hey, Mr. Shalafu. Father of three. All pre teens.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yes. Young girls, 12, 10 and 5.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, those are fun ages. I mean, here's what I don't like though about those ages are the fact that they will tell their teachers just any family gossip, just without context. You know though, I was teaching the five year old how to ride her bike and I was putting her helmet on her. Pinch the skin under her neck. The next day she just went in and told her teacher, I hate it when my dad tries to snap my neck. That's all she said. Just left it at that. That's coming up in conference, so I don't care for that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The police arrive at your door. Okay, I can see that. We do have a young lady right over there. She is Ms. Jessica Hooker and she is sitting in for Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk with her black turtleneck and her black glasses.

[Chick McGee]

Gonna break into a house later.

[Tom Griswold]

What do you call that hairdo?

[Jessica Hooker]

I call it the grow out. I had a pixie for a little bit and now I'm trying to grow it out.

[Tom Griswold]

Out.

[Jessica Hooker]

So I don't know, I feel like it's Dorothy Hamill.

[Chick McGee]

Ish.

[Tom Griswold]

A little bit.

[Jessica Hooker]

It's rough right now.

[Al Jackson]

It's kind of like George Harrison on the Ed Sullivan Show.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. You're dead on, right?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that helps. Willie.

[Chick McGee]

Thanks. We're in the room.

[Al Jackson]

I don't. You're the best. I'm so sorry.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, it's okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Pick a dude.

[Chick McGee]

No, I mean, I cry about it later. It's all right.

[Tom Griswold]

That early. That sort of like third year of the Beatles where they hadn't gone full.

[Chick McGee]

Hippie one day without talking about the Beatles.

[Al Jackson]

This is my fault.

[Jessica Hooker]

No, it's okay. My stylist told me the other day, she said you're going to. When you're growing out, you're going to have four good weeks and four bad weeks until you reach where you want to go. And I'm in a bad four week period.

[Tom Griswold]

So no four week period would be really. Rats. Wow. Crabby.

[Chick McGee]

Sometimes the people you're married to, the period lasts their entire married life. Did you know that, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

Not.

[Chick McGee]

You should grow out your. You should grow out your hair.

[Al Jackson]

Be.

[Chick McGee]

Be ponytail guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, ponytail bald guy.

[Chick McGee]

Ponytail bald Guy. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

No, wait a minute.

[Mark Shalafu]

Is that.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that. Is that the skullet?

[Chick McGee]

That's the skull, yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Kind of.

[Chick McGee]

I think so.

[Al Jackson]

It would look so cool if you had that luscious white hair dripping out of your cowboy hat.

[Jessica Hooker]

There you go.

[Mark Shalafu]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Popping out of the back of that. That thing in the back of the camp. Yeah, that's a good look for me.

[Chick McGee]

And you just go, giddy up, ladies. They would be crawling to the door.

[Tom Griswold]

That's your line. Giddy up.

[Chick McGee]

Giddy up, ladies.

[Tom Griswold]

Giddy up, ladies. Okay, I'll have to write that down. The SILAC insurance news does have some content today. What do we got?

[Jessica Hooker]

Scientists say Viagra may reverse the damage behind one type of deafness.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't this a. Now think about this. Great news.

[Jessica Hooker]

Researchers discovered genetic mutations which cause some people to be born with hearing loss known as sensori. Neural hearing loss. Scientists were able to identify a common supplement, L arginine and the erectile dysfunction drug Sedenafil. That's Viagra. Right. As potential therapies to repair some of the damage caused by the condition.

[Tom Griswold]

So it wouldn't work for like the deafness that I'm suffering from listening to headphones for too long?

[Jessica Hooker]

No, I don't think that kind. This is very specific.

[Tom Griswold]

So. But wouldn't that be weird though, if you were. If you were given this stuff in the side of the effect.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Was, you know, better hearing.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that would be great.

[Chick McGee]

Better hearing and hair growth.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Talk about hard of hearing. This. I. Because the type of hearing loss that some of us in this room have from. Yeah. From doing radio for so long and having the headphones too loud or being exp. Like a lot of musicians are, especially the older ones that were kind of pretty in ear monitors. Their hearing is shot. It would be great if they could figure out a way to help. Help us with that.

[Jessica Hooker]

Well, if that was the case, I mean, you guys are the demographic for Viagra, so if you. I'm just saying if it were effective that way you guys would be able to hear each other better.

[Chick McGee]

You know, I'm sitting here thinking. I think that's why I stopped like going out to lunch and things other than I don't care to go out anymore. But restaurants. Restaurants are just. Forget it. I can't hear at all, man. Whoever's talking to me, I would choose.

[Jessica Hooker]

A restaurant based on that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Quieter the better. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Because that's extraneous noise, makes it very difficult to hear.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah. You don't want to take your Viagra before going to lunch.

[Chick McGee]

No way. But they have really good sandwiches.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but it'll be handy in the evening and you can hear your wife say no, know a little bit better.

[Jessica Hooker]

Study authors say the findings are a good example of our efforts to repurpose FDA approved drugs for treating rare diseases.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, this happens a lot with various pharmaceuticals. There they find out that it does something else other than whatever it was. What's the one? Minoxidil off label.

[Jessica Hooker]

Which one's that?

[Tom Griswold]

That was some hair thing.

[Chick McGee]

But it was a lot blood pressure medicine, wasn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was for something else. And then I guess in trials they noticed the people taking it and some of them were actually growing.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Really a lot of hairy arms and. But yeah, there's obviously there are certain times you scientists get lucky with something else.

[Jessica Hooker]

Well, the GLP one, isn't that a big one? That was used to treat diabetes and now it's a weight loss medication, so.

[Tom Griswold]

So now Pat, you've got your guitar out.

[Al Jackson]

So you're saying you take, take a.

[Tom Griswold]

Viagra and there's a possibility that your hearing is going to get better.

[Al Jackson]

I can hear clearly now. My is hard. I took a Viagra and hear y loud and clear, man.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Al Jackson]

You'Re saying no, I had no idea, dear. It's going to be a loud, hard, rejection filled day. All this time I thought you were into me, but I pop a pill and here that isn't so. You have no desire for such intimacy. Oh, I hear you. It's gonna be be allowed. Hard rejection filled day. But on the bright side, and a big erection and no hearing aids. I can hear. Hey, thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

The only aid you've got are hearing aids. That's nice. Good to know. Let's go back to the SILAC insurance news desk, shall we?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes. Police in Florida arrested a man accused of stealing a forklift and an atm. Tallahassee police said that the forklift was stolen from a local middle school while the ATM was taken from outside of business about a mile away. WCTV shared security footage of the suspect slowly driving the forklift past homes in the area, leaving a trail of debris in his wake.

[Al Jackson]

Man, that sounds fun. It sounds like a good time. I don't. You shouldn't do it and it's bad. But if you're in, that has to be a great time in the moment.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. Police apprehended the 38 year old following a brief chase. He faces numerous charges including burglary of a structure, grand theft and possession of burglary tools intended to use.

[Al Jackson]

You think he stole the forklift to steal the atm? Or did he steal the forklift? And he was like, man, well, I've already got this thing. I might as well.

[Chick McGee]

What's happening?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think the former. I think he probably thought, okay, I'm gonna get One of those ATMs.

[Chick McGee]

Had it planned.

[Tom Griswold]

I think so. I'm not very well, though. He's gonna probably go to prison and he'll find out a different meaning of atm.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

From his cellmate. Maybe he's just frustrated and forgot his pin number. Said, oh, I'll show you. Could you open one of those though? Even if you.

[Jessica Hooker]

You.

[Chick McGee]

It'd be tough.

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't know. I would. I would think you would have to have a forklift. Forklift, yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Guys.

[Tom Griswold]

Yep.

[Mark Shalafu]

He was really schemed it out pretty well for a Florida guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have any idea? I don't know. But do you have how much money would be inside the average atm? I would think tens of thousands of dollars.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah. As long as it's not refill day.

[Mark Shalafu]

I don't know. I feel honestly. You could probably just sell that forklift you stole and make just as much money. Money.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Those are pretty pricey. Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Just don't even get involved with the stealing the atm. You've already got the forklift. Just put that on the market.

[Chick McGee]

I always wanted, like, small equipment. Like have smaller heavy equipment. Like a little bobcat.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah, that would be so fun.

[Chick McGee]

A little fork truck like that. Or drive around. What would you do with it? I don't know. Just drive it around. I got a pretty big driveway. I drive it up and down the driveway.

[Tom Griswold]

I wouldn't get old.

[Chick McGee]

I go dig a hole in the backyard. Dogs playing the hole.

[Jessica Hooker]

Have you seen these, like, kind of their construction sites with all that kind of heavy equipment? And it's like a playground for a guy. So essentially you go in there, you sign a release, and you get to play in the dirt in a forklift.

[Chick McGee]

Or they have these places.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, this is real. This exists.

[Chick McGee]

Tom. This would be a great team building exercise for the Bob and Tom show. We could go and you could make a speech and we wouldn't pay attention. Then we go dig a hole. Good.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good. Have a free relaunch.

[Jessica Hooker]

They also have adult sandboxes. So they're like these giant tabletop sandboxes. It's called the beach with remote control.

[Chick McGee]

Hello.

[Jessica Hooker]

Like little diggers and stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's great. Okay, answer my question. The average bank branch, ATM, between 80 and $200,000.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So this guy could have gotten away with some serious cash. Now we. Speaking of sand, we have an unusual story about sand in the news in Australia. Yeah, this is rather sad, actually.

[Jessica Hooker]

Several schools in Australia were shut down after asbestos was discovered in a brand of colorful sand that was being used for school activities. That's not funny. Officials issued a nationwide recall for multiple brands of the sand after lab testing confirmed the contamination.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but good news. No playground fire. Years.

[Chick McGee]

You know, playground fire.

[Al Jackson]

Probably.

[Tom Griswold]

Kids get to learn how to spell mesothelioma. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Inhaling asbestos. Yeah. Another one. That's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have at your school? We used to have mercury Monday.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever. You're in school and someone dropped a thermometer and the mercury balls, we'd be rolling around with them.

[Chick McGee]

My dad, My dad had access to mercury at the factory and he would bring home like beakers of it and I'd play around with it.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's what's wrong with you.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. I still. Every now and then I'll walk by microwave and piss my pants. You don't play with. You don't play around with that stuff. Just stay away from mercury. I say no to mercury.

[Tom Griswold]

No, there was a, there was a scare. I think there still is certain fish you're, you're a chef. You know, there's certain fish you're not supposed to eat too much of. Yeah, there are certain fish you don't eat when you're pregnant. Ladies.

[Chick McGee]

Which one?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'd have to look at the chart, but I mean, no, you know, you're aware of this. There was a lot of.

[Chick McGee]

Some of them I heard a mercury and a fish.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, store mercury. But I bet you didn't know this about fish. Did you see the fish story that I handed you?

[Jessica Hooker]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

It involves elves. The king of rock and roll. We were talking about Elvis earlier.

[Mark Shalafu]

He sponsored some fish.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

Not, not the band.

[Jessica Hooker]

Elvis Presley was an American icon. Thanks for clarifying, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hold on. Don't go too fast.

[Chick McGee]

Hold on. Hang on a second. I want you to read word for word that first sentence that Tom wrote. This news story I, I, I rewrote.

[Tom Griswold]

This news story I. And added it comes from a magazine because you were.

[Chick McGee]

Were concerned someone wouldn't know who Elvis Presley was.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, wait, wait, wait. It gets better. Elvis Presley was an American icon who changed the face of music and pop culture.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Jessica Hooker]

Hey, don't get him confused with The Elvis Presley.

[Chick McGee]

Right. Who is the drywaller who works over at the construction site?

[Tom Griswold]

Actually, Elvis drove a truck for a.

[Jessica Hooker]

While, and he was known for his hearty appetite, obviously. The King famously loved fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

[Chick McGee]

Dare go into this.

[Jessica Hooker]

Wait, how do you even make a peanut butter and banana?

[Chick McGee]

All right. Okay. Go ahead. Is there a trick to it, Tom? There is.

[Tom Griswold]

I heard an interview with Elvis's famous cook.

[Chick McGee]

Famous cook.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'll talk to you, Mark.

[Chick McGee]

You'll get tired of it. You don't just.

[Tom Griswold]

Elvis was famous for having these deep fried.

[Al Jackson]

Wait a minute.

[Chick McGee]

Who.

[Tom Griswold]

Peanut butter? Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Who's this?

[Tom Griswold]

Peanut butter, banana sandwiches.

[Jessica Hooker]

The American idiot icon.

[Tom Griswold]

And I heard her being interviewed, and she said, there's a trick to this. People don't make them the right way. This is. This is kind of a nuanced route to get to this. But you take the bread and you put it in a toaster, you make toast. Then you put on the peanut butter and the bananas, and then you deep fry it.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

So you can see how that would.

[Mark Shalafu]

Make it a lot of steps for a chef.

[Chick McGee]

You're blowing a mind out there.

[Tom Griswold]

See, that would. Ms. Hooker will agree. That would give it a distinction. Distinct.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

A little crunch. What do you call that?

[Jessica Hooker]

Right. A tooth. Some bite.

[Tom Griswold]

A toothsome bite.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. A nice mouth feel.

[Tom Griswold]

We've come full circle.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, but I wish I'd come full.

[Tom Griswold]

Circle.

[Chick McGee]

Every now and then. Just do that. Right.

[Mark Shalafu]

Pat.

[Chick McGee]

It in a chair, maybe, or.

[Tom Griswold]

And it would improve your hearing.

[Chick McGee]

Exactly.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. I'm sorry. So Elvis. We're talking about Elvis, his diet. Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

I know it didn't seem like it at the end, but there were foods that he didn't like, and one of the biggest ones was fish. He would not allow any fish inside Graceland.

[Tom Griswold]

That's kind of cool to know, isn't it?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's. You've been to. Oh, you haven't been to.

[Jessica Hooker]

I haven't been there a couple times.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Do we have time?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, sure.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Take it back to when Elvis Presley, an American icon, didn't like fish at.

[Tom Griswold]

The Grand Bracelet place. There.

[Al Jackson]

Love me tenders, love me steak. But salmon has to go. Give me another fried peanut butter.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, but catfish, I say no.

[Al Jackson]

Love me tenders, fry them deep. But salmon makes me ill. I hooked a perch once in the eye and the memory haunts me still.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, thank you, King. You're more than welcome. Chicken tenders.

[Chick McGee]

Who are you talking about when you say King? What is that?

[Tom Griswold]

He's King of Rock.

[Chick McGee]

And roll. Oh, okay. That, that's. Who's this? Is that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Bill Haley. Who's this?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know. The Elvi. Oh, thank you very much, Pat. That was great. We're hanging out with comedian Mark Shalafu and he's going to be in Goshen, Indiana at the Funny Farm.

Hey, want to win a $250Amazon gift card?

[Chick McGee]

Tell us a little bit about job.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yourself by taking our listener survey. It's easy, quick and online [e-mail] survey.

[Tom Griswold]

Things have happened.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom show. There's Jess Hooker at the Silac insurance news desk. Hello, there's Pat Godwin. Hey, there's Willie Griswold. Hey, man. He's the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick Begee at the Prize Fix Sports. And Tom, we have a special guest in the studio and out of the studio.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. We have a comedian, Mark Shalafou hanging out with us. And I want to talk with Mark about his previous career as a sports talk show host. But speaking of sports. Yes, right now I believe we're being joined by John Coop. Mr. Coop, are you there, sir?

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir. Good morning.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, how are you? Congratulations. You are our winner in week 11 of our pigskin picks competition. You got 15 out of 15 in your NFL picks last week, am I right? Did we lose them?

[Chick McGee]

Coop, are you being difficult?

[Al Jackson]

Oh, there we go.

[Tom Griswold]

There you are, John. Well, congratulations. You've got that 500 gift certificate from Steven Singer jewelers and you're going to get to pick against Chick Magee with the famous shoe in of the week. Chick, what games have you picked?

[Chick McGee]

I pick them all every week, but we'll pick one or two. I understand you are an Indianapolis Colts fan, Coop, is that correct? That is correct, sir. Well, there you go. They got a big game this weekend. They traveled to Kansas City to take on them Chiefs. The Colts are getting four at for now it's called Arrowhead. They're talking about moving it to Kansas. Did you hear this? The Kansas side. What do you think of that? What do you think about that happening? Anyway, do you like the Colts plus 4 or Kansas City minus 4? 4. I'll take the Colts in the 4. I think it'll be close game but probably a field goal either way. So I'll take the Colts in the point. Right, sir, he is absolutely correct. I will also take the Colts plus the four. Okay, let's see. Patriots traveling to the Cincinnati Bengals. Why? This is interesting. Why is that, Chick? Well, Joe Burrow might play this weekend. There's a rumor. Oh, you might his toe Is better I guess. Bengals getting nine in this one. Who do you like? Patriots minus nine. Bengals plus the nine. I'll take the Patriots on that one. I just don't think Cincinnati is ready to go yet this year. I kind of agree. I'd like to see the Bengals win that game. But I think Patriots cover minus the nine.

[Tom Griswold]

Now former Cincinnati sports talk show host Mark Shalafu is in the studio with us. So you know a lot about Cincinnati sports. Your thoughts?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, I think you got to take the Patriots too.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yes. Just because the Bengals defense is so bad and Joe Flacco is great for a 40 year old quarterback. I like seeing the 40 year olds do well. But he's kind of banged up too, so who knows.

[Tom Griswold]

A huge Joe Flacco fan so he's great. I'm going to go with Cincinnati. Joe is going to have four touchdowns.

[Chick McGee]

Let's hope if he played, maybe burrow play. You don't know, you know, you don't know about the NFL either way.

[Tom Griswold]

Either way. That's it's going to be awesome.

[Chick McGee]

They call it a week to week league, Tom. You know that. Of course. The biggest spread. Pardon me fellas. Biggest spread all week the since the Seattle Seahawks in Tennessee. The titans are getting 14. Who do you like? Tennessee plus 14. Seattle minus the 14. I'll take Seattle minus the 14. Well, this is where we diverge. I will take the Titans plus the 14. Seahawks win of course. But yeah, there's something about the Titans. They're just kooky. I like a kooky NFL team.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, die John. Your last name is K. Coop. And I've known a lot of guys named Cooper, including the late great Steve Cooper. We called him Coop, but if your name is already Coop. Do you have a nickname?

[Chick McGee]

It's been Coop all my life.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, calls me so we can call you Coop.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Coop.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Okay, good. Hey Coop. It's time for our next game. Go ahead, check.

[Chick McGee]

You would consider us. Can I borrow a 20 bucks, Coop? Anyway, big NFC game coming up Sunday, the second Wednesday window. The Eagles traveled to Jerry World to take on them Cowboys who are all of a sudden a decent football team. They're telling me you like Cowboys plus four at home or the Eagles minus the four. I'll take Eagles minus the four. I will take uncharacteristically and my tongue's going to jump out of its mouth and run down the hallway. Give me the Cowboys plus the four. They win this game outright, beating the Eagles. Philly's got a lot of problems Kids.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Now we see a wide receiver on the Eagles might take. Just get up and walk off the field during the game.

[Tom Griswold]

That's fascinating. I'm talking to my buddy Coop. Hey, Coop, it turns out you live in the same city as Christy Lee. Now. I just. I know it's supposed to be a secret ballot. Ballot.

[Chick McGee]

He said yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you vote yes or no for her moving to your town?

[Chick McGee]

I voted yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Well, thanks.

[Chick McGee]

This is the first yes vote we found.

[Tom Griswold]

Coop, thank you very much. Congratulations. And enjoy that gift certificate from Steven Singer jewelers. Peruse the inventory @I hate stevensinger.com. thank you, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, Coop, have a great Thanksgiving.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now, I. I mentioned this a minute ago that Mark Shalafu, a former sports talk show host, that's a. That's a hard gig to do.

[Mark Shalafu]

It is.

[Tom Griswold]

You got to watch a lot of stuff. And you're a married guy. Did you have to tell your wife, look, I'm working right now.

[Chick McGee]

You gotta have a good producer, too.

[Mark Shalafu]

Just get out of the. Get out of the room. I'm watching the game for work and the next game and the game after that.

[Chick McGee]

That'.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Mark Shalafu]

Right. Keep your distance. I liked sports talk just because I started out of college as a producer on the trucking show, which was overnight.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Mark Shalafu]

And that I didn't. I wasn't aware that, like, truckers would call in with their handles. So, like, the first day I was there, somebody called in. He's like, oh, this is Darth Vader. I was calling for Doc Holliday. Can you leave him my number? And I just thought I was getting pranked, so I hung up on him like, no, we're not doing this. So I didn't last long on the trucking show.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever meet Trumpy?

[Mark Shalafu]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

The great. The great Bob Trumpy.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah. He was awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Sadly gone. I. I love that guy. He was so good.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, he was a legend.

[Tom Griswold]

Very good.

[Chick McGee]

No, great.

[Tom Griswold]

Great voice. Radio and tv.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

So you got to hang with him a little bit. A little.

[Mark Shalafu]

I met him once when he came through the studios, and. Yeah, very good guy. Definitely an icon in the broadcasting world. And my career did not quite hold up to his in the sports talking realm. Because you are. It is so much.

[Jessica Hooker]

You.

[Mark Shalafu]

You just. You get burned out on how good or bad the teams are. So I was there for a bad era of Cincinnati sports.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

And that's a lot to take when the Bengals stink and the Red stink and you have to make them interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

Day after day and you have to watch college games and how can you. I don't see how these guys can have that much knowledge about that many different things.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, it does. I'm always impressed with the people that can do it. For 20 years, I'm like, how are you still coming up with hot takes on this? Like, you hear the same cliches from coaches and like, I, I remember having coaches on and they, they would just go on these rants about how it's all about honesty. And then I would try and use that with my kids when I coached them. And that never played out as well. The only time I figured out that it worked is we were leaving my daughter's soccer game and we passed a girl on the other team who said, asked if we wanted to pet our dog because she was going to heaven that day. And so my daughter is crushed by this, right? And so she asked, she was like, daddy, why did she say that? What does she mean? And so I was honest with her and I was like, sweetie, I am so sorry, but this is what happens when you don't try hard enough at soccer. She won a championship that season.

[Chick McGee]

Teachable moments, what they call that.

[Mark Shalafu]

That's the only time honesty worked for me.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark Chalafou.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, sir.

[Tom Griswold]

He's gonna be doing a bunch of stops in the next couple of months, including Goshen, Indiana this weekend. Then, then it's the great hilarities in Cleveland, Ohio. Louisville's Planet of the tapes, December 12th. Then just after Christmas, the Skyline Comedy Club, another great club in Appleton, Wisconsin. Then the Commonwealth Comedy Club in Cincinnati on January 3rd. Willie G. Is in Cincinnati this weekend. Saturday only, you're going to be at Bombs Away comedy [e-mail] and speaking of the Buckeye State, Pat God one Youngstown's famous Funny Farm tickets at Funny Farm Comedy Club.com and that's both Friday and Saturday. And Pat is going to take his guitar and are they going to get the pickleball song?

[Al Jackson]

Sure, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I have it memorized now.

[Tom Griswold]

That's very good. Okay. And coming up, comedian. Coming up, our apology for comedian Al Jackson. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Mark Shalafu]

For a complete copy of the Bob and Tom show contest rules, go to bob and tom.com rules or just scroll down to the bottom of the page and see contest rules. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Tom show in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, there's Jess Hooker.

[Jessica Hooker]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

She's at the Silac Insurance news desk. There's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Pickleball. Playing pickleball. We don't have to do that again.

[Tom Griswold]

Baker ball. Naked pickleball.

[Chick McGee]

There's Willie Griswold.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, man.

[Chick McGee]

He's the I hate Steven Singer Sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Joining us in the studio, comedian Mark Shalafo. And joining us, Foo. What did I say?

[Chick McGee]

It's. It's.

[Tom Griswold]

It's Foo.

[Chick McGee]

You've said it okay all morning.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I know. I was. I was try. I was distracted because I was trying to see if we had Al on the screen there. There we go. There's Al Jackson.

[Chick McGee]

There's Al. But hang on a second. Wait. Ladies and gentlemen, Hugh Jackman coming in. Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, you.

[Chick McGee]

I'm sorry, Al, Hang on a second. Can you.

[Tom Griswold]

Al. Last week, Al was in studio for three hours. All of a sudden, Hugh Jackman walks in and out. We put him in that room, and I guess the mic wasn't working or something. What happened?

[Al Jackson]

No one said a word to me, Tom. So we know.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome to my world.

[Al Jackson]

I could have had the same microphone that they used to announce the lineups for the super bowl, and no one would have known.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, some good news. I understand. Now we. We have Mark Shalafu in the studio with this former sports talk show host. He's from Greater Cincinnati. And I understand you've been offered the job of running the Colorado Rockies. That's. That's how bad they are. They're just picking a random fan.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, that would be.

[Chick McGee]

I've.

[Al Jackson]

I've always said that that's what the Brown should do. Just. I mean, our season's over, so just like, if you brought cleats, like, you should be able to get in the game at some point. Point in the second half.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, that's.

[Al Jackson]

That's really cool that you talk sports. I'm assuming, big Bengals fan. How do you feel about maybe replacing.

[Chick McGee]

New Joe with old Joe? Pay him a lot less.

[Mark Shalafu]

Old Joe would be great if he didn't get hurt every other hit. And with the Bengals offensive line, he's going to take some hits. So I would prefer any Joe at this point that doesn't get hurt.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Well, now the. But the offense will be great.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What is. What do they call it? They say. What is it? Welcome to the jungle.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then for the defense, it's just. You're welcome.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's infighting between the offense and the defense on the team.

[Tom Griswold]

And now, Al, I. First off, Al, I understand you're doing some road work in Syracuse, New York this weekend. The great spot out. You'll be able to see Al Jackson live and in person. And what's the name of the club, Al?

[Chick McGee]

The Funny Bone.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, in Syracuse.

[Al Jackson]

So come on out. I think the Syracuse Orange are actually having a good, good year this year. And I'll also be in Dallas next week on the 29th and in Fort Worth on the 28th. But yeah, come out and see me. Syracuse this weekend. That's what's up.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we should explain to Mark the way this show works is that Al is.

[Al Jackson]

Is when a huge star comes in, they put me in a. You know, the worst thing about that, Tom, is, is I didn't see until.

[Chick McGee]

My girlfriend showed me the clip of.

[Al Jackson]

Hugh Jackman walking in and goes, what's the chances of an empty seat sitting here? I'm like, pretty high.

[Chick McGee]

Actually.

[Al Jackson]

It was by design. That was really cool.

[Tom Griswold]

We didn't. I found out about that about 10 minutes before it happened. Happened because they didn't know if Mr. Jackman was going to be able to be here. So. But I didn't tell anybody. So when he walked in here, these guys, they looked up and. Didn't you at first think it was a Hugh Jackman look alike?

[Chick McGee]

No, I said, it's about time you got here, Hugh Jackman. Where have you been? That's what I said.

[Al Jackson]

Very funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Wow. It was fun. But now, Al, I was explaining how this show works. Al is hypnos level, as you can imagine, significantly higher than mine can imagine. So what Al does is we talk about words. And I'm trying to become a little more conversant with the lingo of the street, if you will. Al, what's our opener for today? What word do we have?

[Al Jackson]

This is actually a phrase and I like doing this segment because, Tom, I'm learning, too. We're learning and laughing together.

[Tom Griswold]

Good.

[Al Jackson]

So, Tom, we kind of know when we've heard the phrase soft launch when it comes to companies.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Al Jackson]

But when would you hear that said between friends?

[Tom Griswold]

Man, that was a soft launch. Wow. When something didn't go well.

[Al Jackson]

I'm curious because I feel like this is like a word that probably Willie and his. Have you heard this phrase, Willie? Yeah, for sure. Should I give you a hint? Should I just say it? What do you need here?

[Tom Griswold]

Give me a hint.

[Al Jackson]

Okay. So a hard launch is a hard announcement of, let's say, Jessica Alsman on our staff yesterday, she posted a picture of her at 26 weeks pregnant. That's sort of a hard launch to the photo of a pregnancy announcement.

[Tom Griswold]

Right.

[Al Jackson]

With that as a hard launch, what do you think a soft launch would be? Does that help.

[Tom Griswold]

Some, like, a profile shot where it's not clear if she is indeed pregnant.

[Al Jackson]

I'm focused on the pregnancy part of this, and I got worried about that. Yeah, I mean, kind of. Yeah, maybe I would say a better example of soft launch, like, a hard launch would be like, picture of a ring, we're getting engaged. And then the soft launches after you end that engagement, and then you don't tell anybody about it. But then six months later, you post a picture of you at dinner, and there's a beer and a wine glass implying, hey, I'm out with a gal. Is that. Are we kind of close there? That's exactly what it. Yeah, that's perfect. And people.

[Chick McGee]

People.

[Al Jackson]

I love this phrase because people do it all the time. People don't come out and say, willie is my boyfriend now. They'll just be like, It'll be their normal feed. And then there's like, a picture of them getting something from a food truck, and Willie's in the background. And then, like, Willie's shoes are next to hers on the. It's just like these little things that are letting people know, like, hey, he's spoken for, but we haven't really committed to it yet.

[Tom Griswold]

Aha. That's kind of cool. Cool. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

It's actually like, something you'd use in real life.

[Tom Griswold]

So I'm. I'm trying to think if I can use that in a sentence. Give me an example. In a sentence. Al, I'm not going to be able to do this. Right.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. You know, I'm glad my ex moved on, but Just say it already.

[Chick McGee]

I'm tired of the soft launch with.

[Al Jackson]

The pictures of his, you know, softball jersey on the couch.

[Chick McGee]

And just like, it's cool, but just.

[Al Jackson]

Like, what if I just burst into tears? Recounting this softball jersey on the couch was so specific. I'm sure you saw it in an Instagram story last week. No, I mean, honestly, I was like, I think the reason me and my ex wife have such a good relationship is we both, like. When she first told me that she met her husband, I was like, oh, what's up? Like, we're like. We became, like, real friends. I think that's what we were meant to be. So it's like, you know, But I. I could see if you didn't really get over your ex. Like everything on Instagram must just stab.

[Tom Griswold]

You in the heart.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, let's get to our next word, please. What have we got? Al Jackson.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Tom.

[Al Jackson]

Let's do this one. I might say it incorrectly because it's an acronym. It's an acronym that we will not figure out the basis of.

[Chick McGee]

But, Tom, what if I told you to.

[Tom Griswold]

Cybow to what?

[Al Jackson]

Or C. Bow.

[Tom Griswold]

How do you spell it? S, Y, B, A, U, S, Y, B. Anybody?

[Al Jackson]

Sounds like the name of a dog that costs $4,000.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it C, U? Are those the first two?

[Chick McGee]

Sy? Yeah. Not at all.

[Mark Shalafu]

You missed both. Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Go Buff.

[Chick McGee]

He told you it was Sy, B, O, W. And you said, is that RF or whatever? I don't. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Why is the sycu. I'll see you.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, okay. The words oh, C, and U.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Al Jackson]

So the first letter is S. I'll give that to you. I. I'll give you the.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Al Jackson]

Sy. The Y is.

[Chick McGee]

Your.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, save your. No, no. You know what it is?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this. Is this a text. Texting thing?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, it can be. It's kind of. It got some legs. It's a meme right now that goes around a lot. It's. It. Actually, you find it in the comments of a lot of. A lot of female influencers that take a lot of heat for, you know, whether it's a trad wife or whatever situation. But you'll get some haters in the comments that'll leave this.

[Tom Griswold]

And what is it? So what does it mean?

[Jessica Hooker]

It means shut your ass up.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, I was gonna dance around that.

[Chick McGee]

Right for it like a. I. I.

[Al Jackson]

Think Jeff relapsed in the moment when you get the opportunity to say, that's my father, you take it.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Jessica Hooker]

I did.

[Tom Griswold]

If you're on here, I would not have gotten that. No.

[Jessica Hooker]

Not surprised.

[Tom Griswold]

We could have hinted all day long. Wow.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, so that's a little rough.

[Jessica Hooker]

It is.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's. Is it. Is it strictly for a lady?

[Jessica Hooker]

No, not necessarily.

[Al Jackson]

I left four jokes on the table right there. I. I'll say that. I'll say this. I remember just to show you how everything gets elevated, Tom. I remember in my house growing up and, you know, just saying shut up was like, that was in the. It wasn't a curse word, but it was in the fam. Like, you couldn't. If my mom heard me to tell my sister to shut up, like, that would be.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Like, we couldn't say any of this. And now we're way past that.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I was really surprised that kids radio channel where they take contemporary songs and they redo them with little kids singing them kids bop. Yeah. And they're often really inappropriate. That one, shut up and dance. They left the shut up in. I was really surprised. Yeah. Shut up was like a curse word around when I was a kid. Now, Al, I want to remind everybody that you're going to be not shutting up but on stage in Syracuse at the Funny Bone. Come coming up Friday and Saturday evening for some great live stand up comedy. Al, it's always a great pleasure to see you.

[Al Jackson]

[Tom Griswold]

Parrot.

Yeah, parrot.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Willie Griswold. Hey, man, the wall of Griswolds over there. There's Ace Cosby. Hey, I'm Chick McGee. We have a special guest, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark Shalafu, comedian has joined us in the studio.

[Chick McGee]

Is it possible for you to say Mark Shalom.

[Tom Griswold]

Just Mark Shella food. I just said Mark Shella Foo.

[Chick McGee]

No, you're no Foo.

[Al Jackson]

Putting a little fake on it.

[Chick McGee]

Putting some flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, Mark Jellifu.

[Jessica Hooker]

That doesn't help.

[Chick McGee]

Put some flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much. We have Ms. Hooker over there at the Silac Insurance news desk. What do you got?

[Jessica Hooker]

Researchers have named a newly discovered snake species after Australian naturalist and media personality Steve Irwin.

[Chick McGee]

Crikey.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's nice.

[Jessica Hooker]

The new species of wolf snake was discovered on the great island in India. It was named Irwin's. It was named Irwin's Wolf Snake or like Coden Erwini in honor of the late Stephen Robert Irwin.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Winnie. What do you think of that? It's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, that's great. Great honor. They always do this, like, Latin thing where they take it and.

[Chick McGee]

Pluribus snake.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Being named after a snake, that's not a great thing, though, right? Like, that's a pretty bad creature to have named after you. But for him, this goes to Irwin. Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

But for him, that's. That would be.

[Jessica Hooker]

Well, it could have been worse. They could have named a stingray.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're not there.

[Chick McGee]

That's true.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah. It Opens some eyes though. At least you stay away from that Irwin stingray. For sure.

[Al Jackson]

Call it a sting, Steve. No big deal.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, me the one shot shot stinger. A lucky shot.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of stuff in Australia can kill. You never notice that.

[Al Jackson]

Spiders, snakes, the people.

[Jessica Hooker]

Are there any big murderers from Australia?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, oh sure, they were a bunch of criminals to start off, weren't they?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, there's the.

[Tom Griswold]

There was that famous case that is still up and running about the woman in Australia that allegedly gave the poison to her in laws. Yeah, remember that? It's a huge story in Australia.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, that's wild.

[Tom Griswold]

But we met Hugh Jackman, who's the nicest guy on earth and he's Australian.

[Chick McGee]

That happens all the time here. What in laws poisoned their outlaws, if you will.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh yeah, it's.

[Chick McGee]

It's kind of a rare thing in Australia.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know if I rare it is here, but we'll, we'll move on.

[Chick McGee]

Are you trying to tell me you wouldn't like to poison your in laws? No, of course not. He's taking me seriously. I don't know what you're talking about. About. It's not like we're talking here on a fun comedy show. I'm not trying to get you to admit to anything.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's just a mean question.

[Chick McGee]

What, what's mean about it?

[Tom Griswold]

Would you like to.

[Chick McGee]

It's a stupid question.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you like to poison your daughter?

[Chick McGee]

No, she's not an in law.

[Al Jackson]

Not an in law.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, but have you ever liked your in laws more than you liked your partner?

[Al Jackson]

Oh my gosh.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh yeah, yeah.

[Al Jackson]

Oh yeah. Oh, wait, not part. Sorry, I thought you were going to say family. I got a little too excited. That was a bummer for me.

[Jessica Hooker]

But if you're dating someone and then you meet like you know, his sister or extended family, maybe even his parents, and you're like, wow, these people are great.

[Al Jackson]

Oh, I for sure dated people. And then I've been like, I gotta text her brother, man, I hope he's cool.

[Chick McGee]

I hope he's okay.

[Al Jackson]

Me and him used to smoke weed together. I hope he's all right, man.

[Mark Shalafu]

That's a little bit different than dating a woman and being like, oh, I should have dated her sister.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's different. Very good, very good. That's the voice done that.

[Chick McGee]

Like the successful switch.

[Al Jackson]

Oh yeah, my buddy Tim did. Yeah, my buddy Tim dated a girl for like three months in high school and then later on started dating his. Her sister and now he's married to the sister.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

Younger sister or older sister?

[Al Jackson]

Older sister.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow.

[Al Jackson]

Made the upgrade. That's pretty tough thing to do.

[Chick McGee]

Always said the moon landing is the most amazing scientific. No, this guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that had to be a little awkward.

[Al Jackson]

I mean, he already knew where the bathroom was. You knew the place, you knew the house.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Wow. Now your sister used to moan like this.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's. Let's talk about Mark. Let's talk about your family. You've got three girls. Yep. They're all pre teen, right?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

Oldest is what, 12?

[Mark Shalafu]

12, 10 and 5. Okay, so 5's about to turn.

[Chick McGee]

How much money do you spend on Taylor Swift? Related.

[Mark Shalafu]

Thankfully they are not. Not big Taylor Swift. I dodged that bullet. Now I have had to go to the K Pop Demon Hunters, sing along at the movie theater and that kind of stuff. That's the trade off. But haven't had to fork over the thousands of dollars to take them to the concert. So I dodged.

[Tom Griswold]

Did they do the. The K Pop Demon Hunters costumes for Halloween?

[Mark Shalafu]

No, because they thought it was going to be too overexposed. So they wanted the costumes just to have. And so we didn't do that. I'm like, I'm not just buying you costumes just to wear with your friends. But no, we didn't do the costumes for that this year.

[Tom Griswold]

I see now you've been married for quite a while.

[Mark Shalafu]

I have been. You know, I'm in that stage of marriage now because I'm, you know, she's in her late 30s, I just turned 40. That I enjoy because the arguments are just so pointless. You know, you fight about everything and none of it really matters. Like, she apologized for an argument we got in the other day, which was a big win for me. And then she stopped me. She's like, you know what, let's just skip all that fighting next time. Next time. You know, I was just being crazy. So just stop me in the beginning and tell me I'm being crazy. I'm like, yeah, that's gonna work. Yeah, I'm gonna get stabbed in the throat.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, calm down. That always works.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Has that ever worked in the history of anything?

[Mark Shalafu]

Not once.

[Tom Griswold]

Anyone said, hey, I'll just calm down.

[Jessica Hooker]

No.

[Mark Shalafu]

We even got into a fight. The fight we got into most recently was because she would tell me her problems at work or whatever and I would try and solve it them, you know, and she said, I don't want you to solve the problems. I just want you to listen to them and say, that's interesting. Some of the problems she has, though, are about Me, where she's like, oh, I need you to do more around the house. And now I'm just like, yeah, that's interesting. She's like, that's all you have to say for yourself. I'm like, you're being crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. Do you live in town on you. You're. You live in the Cincinnati area. Are you a suburban guy? Are you a downtown?

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah. When we moved from New York City to Cincinnati, we went to the suburbs, which I didn't think that I would like. I love it, though, because of our neighborhood Facebook group. That is so much fun because it's just so much more personal than most social media. Like, most social media. Just everyone's like, I hate politicians. But then you go to the neighborhood Facebook group, and everybody's like, I hate Greg. 1867 Pine Mills Drive. That Greg. I love it. We live in a type of neighborhood, too, where everybody knew the garbage man. He passed away a few weeks ago. So that was a big day in the neighborhood Facebook group. And so, like, people posted pictures they had and remembrances, all the little stories and some old lady she just posted. I hope that Kevin is doing his route in heaven today. And, man, I hope not. Yeah, that is a real bummer if you get to heaven and find out you keep doing your job forever. Like, nobody wants that. Yeah. Sacrifice. And you get to the pearly gates, and they're like, okay, welcome in. There's your truck. You better get to work. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Monday is trash day. We're talking with Mark Shalafu, comedian. Should we do today in history? Today instead of tomorrow?

[Jessica Hooker]

We could.

[Tom Griswold]

We.

[Al Jackson]

That's crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Got that screwed up earlier.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, we did go.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see. Today 20th. Okay. Give a very good. Oh, this is a good one. I wonder if Willie will know this one.

[Al Jackson]

What do you got?

[Tom Griswold]

Happy birthday, Richard Dawson.

[Al Jackson]

Not ringing any bells so far. Maybe a couple hints here.

[Chick McGee]

Kisses. Kiss the ladies.

[Tom Griswold]

Is a hint.

[Al Jackson]

Kisses the ladies.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, I remember now, man.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think I know Steve Harvey. Maybe that's a hint.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah. I got nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

He was the first guy.

[Al Jackson]

A Family Feud host.

[Mark Shalafu]

Family Feud dude.

[Al Jackson]

That's nice. He would just kiss a lady, then kiss her kid, then kiss her sister.

[Tom Griswold]

He was famous then.

[Al Jackson]

A real just handshake to dad. He did draw the line eventually.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

Did he? Did he?

[Tom Griswold]

What's the. That's another guy you're thinking. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No. Richard Dawson. I believe he is deceased. Survey says, remember? That's dead. Okay, sorry. All right.

[Chick McGee]

What she's describing is called her from now on, he became famous in the.

[Tom Griswold]

United States because he was on the. The crew of Hogan's Heroes.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, he played Newkirk. Remember that? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Was he Newkirk?

[Chick McGee]

He was British, I think. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

At the British. Let's see now. Oh, here we go. This is a good one. The great Joe Walsh, guitarist for the Eagles and great solo artist. Happy birthday, Joe. Born in 1947. I'm a huge fan. I believe they're gonna be going back to the sphere in Vegas. I've seen them there that. I saw the Eagles there. They were great. And Joe, of course, is terrific. Willie, do you remember this one? She was born in 1956. Her name, Bo Derek.

[Al Jackson]

Man singer.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Jessica Hooker]

No.

[Al Jackson]

You want another hint?

[Jessica Hooker]

Tommy boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Tommy.

[Al Jackson]

Oh yeah, Bo Derek. Quite familiar.

[Chick McGee]

Tommy boy.

[Al Jackson]

She's got the short haircut going on. Big fan.

[Jessica Hooker]

She's the stepmom. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. That's what he would. He and I would know her from.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. She was in the movie Tantalizing Hen.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

And she had the weird cornrows.

[Jessica Hooker]

She did.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Not a good look.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. Who else was in that?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see now.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, see, I feel like I look like Dudley Moore sometimes too.

[Chick McGee]

No, no, no, no. He's more of a curly haired guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay, this is interesting. In 1923, a guy named Garrett Morgan patented the three position traffic light. You bet he did.

[Al Jackson]

Hey, caution.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see. Yeah. Red. Red for stop, green for going yellow. Loafer go faster.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And lastly, the Beatles played the cavern Club in 1961. How about the, how about this one? The first Toy story released in 1995.

[Chick McGee]

We, we. We need to rename this segment Tom's History is what we need to call it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, and these are things that I find they're exciting.

[Chick McGee]

You find?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yesterday I talked with the great actor and comedian Tim Allen. We're going to feature some of that interview tomorrow. And Tim was. Is spending today said he'll be doing the voice of Buzz lightyear for about five hours today as they work on Toy Story 5. And again the, the storyline. Apparently the toys are all sitting around and the kid is handed an iPad.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And what happens now? So we'll look forward to hearing from Tim. It was really great talking to him. He's got a. He's got a new show on abc. See, it's doing great. So well we talked about that and a lot about cars. And I opened the interview with a quiz and he did not know the answer. I was, I was really disappointed.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah. That's a great way to start.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I figured.

[Al Jackson]

Welcome in. First up, you're wrong. All right.

[Mark Shalafu]

Well, he was not that smart.

[Chick McGee]

He was.

[Tom Griswold]

No, he was in his garage. He has a.

[Mark Shalafu]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

He has a garage where they restore classic cars. So I just thought, well, I'll open up with one. I thought he'd get it because he's such a Michigan guy. But the. The question was, maybe you'll get this in the first year.

[Chick McGee]

Look, stupid.

[Tom Griswold]

In the first year of the TV show Mannix.

[Al Jackson]

This question already stinks.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

What kind of car did Joe Mannix drive? Just in the first year?

[Chick McGee]

Just in the first.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. He worked for Intertect. And Joe Mannix, played by Krekar Ohan, better known as Mike Connors. Anyone know?

[Jessica Hooker]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

He drove a custom convertible Oldsmobile Toronado just. And I was. I was waiting for Tim to go, I own that car.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, because he's got a. Yeah, he's got some cars.

[Tom Griswold]

He's got some cars.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And for his new show, by the way, the cars on the show, Tim's garage rents them to the studio. Yeah. That's kind of cool, isn't it? Well, let's. Let's move on. We'll get back to the action.

[Chick McGee]

I'm so glad you couldn't hear what Tim was thinking when you were asking that. That question.

[Tom Griswold]

I think he was.

[Chick McGee]

He. I. I'm sure you thought he thought it was fascinating. I'm sure you did.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you ever seen a convertible tornado? There's only one. They're very cool. That's got to be floating around somewhere.

[Chick McGee]

There's only one car.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they. It was a custom. It was custom made for the show.

[Chick McGee]

Well, where do they get parts from that? I imagine what happens when they need an oil filter?

[Mark Shalafu]

They cancel the show at that point.

[Chick McGee]

That's exactly right. This whole show brought down because of oil change.

[Tom Griswold]

Ms. Hooker, what else is happening over there at the Silac Insurance news desk?

[Jessica Hooker]

Police in South Korea were called to a cafe in central Seoul after customers reported that a large, loose parrot had flown inside and was stealing sips of their coffee. Witnesses said the brightly colored bird hopped from table to table, showing no fear as it dipped its beak into unattended drinks.

[Tom Griswold]

Hollywana latte.

[Chick McGee]

Bali Wanal latte.

[Jessica Hooker]

Animal rescue officers and police were eventually able to catch the bird. Bird. And took it to a local shelter. Shelter.

[Tom Griswold]

If a bird drank all that caffeine, would they talk faster? Oh, I don't know.

[Jessica Hooker]

Maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It would have to affect us.

[Chick McGee]

It would affect them Some way. Yeah.

[Mark Shalafu]

The people working in that shelter were not happy.

[Chick McGee]

An overly caffeinated parrot.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Yeah, I. I guess there are thousands of. Of exotic birds that have been set free in places like Southern California.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. They say it's becoming a problem, the.

[Tom Griswold]

Loose birds, because there's. Those birds require a lot of care and.

[Chick McGee]

Or not.

[Tom Griswold]

And people just go, well, I've had enough and let them go. Not, Not a good thing to do. A friend of mine had a couple of those birds that are. They had a bird that one of them would imitate the dogs. So the dogs would leave the room and the parrot would start barking and the dogs would come flying in looking.

[Mark Shalafu]

For dogs, just trolling the dogs. I kind of like that approach.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So the parrot's got a great sense of humor, you know. Watch this. Look at these idiots. We got time for one more story. What do you got?

[Jessica Hooker]

Let's see that right? Oh, okay. Here we go. From Great Britain, Police and Derbyshire responded to a call about a small bully type dog tied up to the. At the top of the hill near Matlock. But when officers arrived, they didn't find a dog at all.

[Tom Griswold]

Hole.

[Jessica Hooker]

They found Sven the reindeer from Disney's Frozen, or at least a giant plush toy version of him.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Jessica Hooker]

Yes. Please say the stuffed reindeer had been carefully propped up and secured to a fence and mistakenly reported as a bully dog.

[Tom Griswold]

It could have been worse. Could have been one of those sex dolls where they think there's a drowning victim and they, they get the SWAT team coming in and they go down to the river and it's just. Just gross, you know, some big sex doll.

[Chick McGee]

It just ran her DNA.

[Tom Griswold]

So this is. This was from latex.

[Jessica Hooker]

Officers posted a photo online joking that Sven had been rescued and was now safe and sound back at the station.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, and they were never good. Anytime you're doing picks.

[Chick McGee]

God, no.

[Mark Shalafu]

You just hope that people forget about, about them if they're terrible and just let them roll.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, let them go, man.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. On some of the shows now on Sunday morning, they'll show the the records of these guys and it can be pretty sad.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, you throw their salaries next to those and it's even sadder. Yeah, they're making that for how bad they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they are. Now you're going to be on the road. You'll be in a place called Goshen, Indiana, this weekend.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, Cosmopolitan Goshen. I'm excited to be there.

[Tom Griswold]

It'll be fun. And then speaking of road, Pat Godwin at the Youngstown Funny farm. Go to funnyfarmcomedyclub.com for tickets. That's Friday and Saturday. Willie G. Saturday only in Cincinnati at Bombsaway Comedy. Ticket information [e-mail]. now, we did our today in History segment, but I missed this one. Oh, this is pretty cool. You might remember this chick.

[Chick McGee]

Once again, this is Tom's history and this is something he thinks was pretty cool. So go ahead.

[Al Jackson]

Beatles. Michigan related.

[Tom Griswold]

No, University of California, Berkeley.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I was a student there once.

[Chick McGee]

Of course you were.

[Tom Griswold]

In 1982.

[Jessica Hooker]

No, back it up. You can't graze over there.

[Chick McGee]

You went to Berkeley?

[Tom Griswold]

1973.

[Jessica Hooker]

Well, you've never heard this.

[Al Jackson]

Of course, I don't know anything about him. Know anything at all.

[Tom Griswold]

You got to stay mysterious. I was not there for this event.

[Chick McGee]

Gotta stay mysterious. It doesn't build a wall. It makes him mysterious.

[Tom Griswold]

The football team defeated Stanford University, scoring a touchdown on a lateral field kickoff return in the last play of the game, despite the fact that the Stanford marching band had already entered the field of play thinking Stanford had won.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Al Jackson]

You ever been stiff armed by a.

[Chick McGee]

Trombone effective Trombone player? Really got. Got it.

[Al Jackson]

Gosh, I got such a kick out of that visual. I was laughing. I couldn't even get.

[Tom Griswold]

That'S. And that's your today in History. I think you.

[Jessica Hooker]

What? That's what you want.

[Chick McGee]

You went back and grabbed that.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that hilarious though? No, I think the game's over. The band is out there marching around and they're lateraling the football.

[Al Jackson]

The funniest year.

[Jessica Hooker]

What year?

[Tom Griswold]

82. A little bit of razzle dazzle, I like to call it.

[Al Jackson]

Funniest thing ever happened on a Berkeley football field is when Marshawn lynch stole the golf cart. Cart that the.

[Jessica Hooker]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Driving around on it.

[Jessica Hooker]

That was great.

[Al Jackson]

Just watch. If you're ever sad, just watch that video. Marshall has a big smile across his face.

[Jessica Hooker]

Watch anything with him.

[Al Jackson]

So happy.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, now we have time for a couple more quick stories. What have you got over there, Ms. Hooker?

[Jessica Hooker]

Actually, I wanted to. To share something. Today, Taco Bell is turning over three new menu items.

[Al Jackson]

Come on, Wilbur Quesarito, please be back. Quesarito.

[Jessica Hooker]

No, actually, you know what? Tom didn't edit this, so I feel so confused right now. I know. No, it's fan style. They let three different people, three different fans write into Taco Bell and come up with these new menu items.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Jessica Hooker]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Jessica Hooker]

The California Crunch wrap, which I immediately thought was infused with weed.

[Chick McGee]

Or avocado.

[Al Jackson]

Avocado or french fries.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, I was wrong. It's.

[Chick McGee]

Let's see.

[Jessica Hooker]

It is. No, it's steak. Yes, Steak with seasoned french fries and guacamole.

[Tom Griswold]

Added.

[Jessica Hooker]

So that does make sense.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Jessica Hooker]

The burrito Bliss, which is a vegetarian option. Seasoned rice, refried beans, pinko de gallo, fiesta strips and avocado ranch.

[Tom Griswold]

Pico de gallo.

[Jessica Hooker]

Pico de guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Can I say that's the Russian version you said? Yeah, pinko pink pico de guy. Pico de gallo is a. Is a. Is a copy. Tommy. Drinking wine in the 50s.

[Chick McGee]

But don't you agree, Tom, that the vegetarian thing has kind of run its course? Can we just get like, go ahead and eat meat. All the vegetarians.

[Al Jackson]

The spicy potato soft taco at Taco Bell's a great vegetarian item that I eat all the time.

[Chick McGee]

Spicy potato.

[Al Jackson]

The spicy potato soft taco. No lettuce, extra cheese. Yeah, man. Come on. I've told you about this.

[Tom Griswold]

And we learned last week that Oreos are vegan.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah, they are vegan.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Jessica Hooker]

There's no. There's no dairy products in Oreos.

[Chick McGee]

It's good to know.

[Tom Griswold]

So that cream filled center is not cream cream?

[Jessica Hooker]

No, I was not aware. Well, what. What is it?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know, but I'm an Oreo fan. I know we had the Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie.

[Al Jackson]

That's nice.

[Tom Griswold]

That. That was out there. What's the third item?

[Jessica Hooker]

Cantina Craze.

[Chick McGee]

Cool.

[Jessica Hooker]

Which is jalapeno sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream.

[Chick McGee]

That sounds spicy.

[Jessica Hooker]

They're adding that to the Cantina Chicken crispy Taco.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there they are. Right there.

[Tom Griswold]

Right in front of us.

[Chick McGee]

Little photo.

[Jessica Hooker]

So Taco Bell had 40,000 submissions to their fan style program, and they still.

[Mark Shalafu]

Took the vegetarian option.

[Jessica Hooker]

They did.

[Mark Shalafu]

With all of that, Taco Bell's gone woke.

[Al Jackson]

What are you gonna do about it?

[Chick McGee]

I like the look of that California Crunch. Me too.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll tell you, man, that's what Steak, cheese, and guac.

[Chick McGee]

That looks right out of there.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, that looks really good.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's like a. In the shape of a pentagram.

[Chick McGee]

1, 2, 3, 4.

[Jessica Hooker]

That's the way they fold. It's a big.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's a hexagram, I guess. Oh, someone's eating the first corner. But that's why it looks. Looks delightful.

[Jessica Hooker]

The base style feature.

[Chick McGee]

I'd like to see something shaped like a Bucky ball. How about the Buckminster?

[Tom Griswold]

How many sizes that the geodesic dome.

[Chick McGee]

Of Walk Deca Headron or whatever the hell it was.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure what it is. Smells like a dinosaur.

[Chick McGee]

I was trying. I was trying to get everybody away from the fact you don't know how many sides a pentagon has.

[Al Jackson]

No.

[Chick McGee]

It looks like there were six because.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone had eaten the one corner.

[Al Jackson]

As any real Taco Bell fan knows, usually you get some sort of weird triangle with one side wrong. But if it's grilled just right, it doesn't matter how it looks. It's what's on the inside.

[Jessica Hooker]

Yeah. The fan style feature allows Taco Bell rewards members to customize orders, name their creations, and share them with other users through the app.

[Chick McGee]

See, I would have picked, like, my name if I. They would have picked one of mine. Like, it's the. It's the Willie.

[Al Jackson]

Yeah, the Chick Chicken Cantina.

[Chick McGee]

Give me the Willie with extra cheese and. And a side of Godwin.

[Al Jackson]

My dream. As soon as I get a sandwich named after me, I'm quitting comedy. I'm done with all this stuff.

[Chick McGee]

Dude, whatever happened to that? Those days, Tom, when they name us at the Stage Deli, they name a sandwich after you.

[Tom Griswold]

I should have quit after the patty melt.

[Chick McGee]

Chick.

[Tom Griswold]

What would yours be? Baloney.

[Chick McGee]

And just. Just one little lonely slice of bologna. Is that what you're doing, Tom? And maybe. Maybe one slice of bread all by itself.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark, are you a cook for your three young girls?

[Mark Shalafu]

You know, I try to be. They prefer my wife's cooking over mine, and that's not anything I'm going to hold against them. I just seated that and I'm like, well, they like your cooking better. I guess you have to do it every night is how I handle that approach.

[Tom Griswold]

You must have one dish that you're good at.

[Mark Shalafu]

Yeah, I'm good with the breakfast dishes. We'll do some waffles and, you know, my kids are always big into, like, scrambled eggs and stuff like that. So, yeah, I can really show off my cooking flair before school. And I give them the simple stuff and then they think it's exotic and they'll tell their teachers, well, we had extreme eggs, and the teachers asked me for the recipe. I'm like, no, it's just basic eggs.

[Tom Griswold]

That's it.

[Mark Shalafu]

Just basic.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, sounds. It sounds.

[Chick McGee]

It's all on the marketing, though, right?

[Mark Shalafu]

It is. I'm not going to let my kids fan style my menu. I'm not going to let them pick competitions.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, once again, you'll be in Goshen coming up tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Willie [e-mail] get tickets for Cincinnati on Saturday only at Pat Godwin Youngstown funny [e-mail] for ticket information. These are the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.
