Passed out and they didn't stop by.

[Nick Novicki]

Huh?

[Chick McGee]

Not coming. I guess they're not going to show up tonight.

[Nick Novicki]

Oh well, I guess I'll turn in. Almost seven o'.

[Tom Griswold]

Clock.

[Chick McGee]

I'll just save it for my granddaughter's birthday party.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh my.

[Nick Novicki]

Thought they would have phoned by now. Boy, it sure is warm in here.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

This Halloween season when the doorbell rings, answer it. This message brought to you by the National Halloween Foundation. NHF it's no trick that we treat you Right. Oh, my good God. Oh. Hello, everyone. That took me by surprise. So let me ask you. You people getting this? These Covid symptoms and testing negative and feeling like you're dying? Anybody else getting those?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, me.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah. Is that you? Huh? I. I feel like. I still feel kind of like I get hit by a truck, but you look that way. Thanks, buddy. Hey, it's the Bob and Tom show. Oh, look who's here. The limey bitch is back. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that song.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. I'm a limey bitch. I'm a bit. Christy Lee joins us.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

It was fresh.

[Tom Griswold]

Fresh from a trip to the uk.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Is all great over there. Did you have a good time?

[Christy Lee]

We had a wonderful time. Wonderful time. With a bunch of Bob and Tom listeners. All love the show very, very much.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Christy Lee]

Yep. In fact, the very first day on the bus, guess what they did, you know, love. They were playing the show.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Chick McGee]

Perfect. You try to get away.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I kind of put an end to that, you know.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you. In love is often displayed in dollars.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Like 50 bucks a person.

[Tom Griswold]

What was the highlight? Eat any fish and chips?

[Christy Lee]

I did eat fish and chips. And it didn't have the head on it like you experienced when you were in London.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Why did you get that?

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing wrong with head, guys. Don't get me wrong. Am I right, everybody?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, well, of course I was at some exotic place and that wasn't traditional fish and chips. Sorry, I didn't know.

[Chick McGee]

I asked Christy if she heard. Blimey. In person.

[Christy Lee]

I did not.

[Tom Griswold]

That's kind of a movie thing. I don't think.

[Chick McGee]

I've never heard of my one and only trip to London in 2018. We're going through customs. It's. Follow me here. It's my daughter, her mother. That's right. My ex wife and me, and we're giving the passports to the British lady there. And I'll say, what you here for? Business or pleasure? And I think my daughter said, well, we're here just for a vacation. That's my dad and this is my mom. And then Ellie goes and they've been divorced for 30 years. And the lady says, blimey. Right. Right back at me.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Blimey. That's.

[Tom Griswold]

I can see why.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It's a little unusual.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That is kind of an unusual group.

[Christy Lee]

You know what's really, really sad about going through customs now? They don't stamp your passport.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, they don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

No, they don't.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Why even have the Book can ask for it, though. Did you ask?

[Christy Lee]

No, I didn't ask. Oh, you have to ask for it now.

[Pat Godwin]

You can ask them.

[Tom Griswold]

Why is that?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know, because I filled up.

[Pat Godwin]

Quickly and they, you know, I.

[Christy Lee]

They just run it through a machine kind of thing, and you're on your way.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well.

[Christy Lee]

Kind of bummed me out because I've never been to London. I wanted the passports. Dang it.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, well. The highlight for us was at a very impromptu moment, we were at a Beatles store because my husband's a huge Beatles fan, and the guy working there goes. Did you know that there's a Beatles tribute band playing at Royal Albert hall tonight? And we were like, no.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

So I walked outside, and I immediately got online and got us seats. And it was amazing. It was really cool. And you've been there. Just to be a Royal Elder hall in and of itself.

[Tom Griswold]

What was the name of the band?

[Christy Lee]

It was called Bootleg Beatles. They played for the Queen for her Jubilee or 75th. They were wonderful. The London Philharmonic joined them. So fool on the Hill was just like the record. I mean, it was really, really something. So I think that was the highlight for me. And then, of course, you see a lot of old buildings.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, plenty of those.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, plenty of those.

[Pat Godwin]

A lot of churches.

[Chick McGee]

Tavern was built in 1000. No kidding.

[Pat Godwin]

This guy died in 200.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The gravestones were. The lettering's all gone. Yeah, well. Oh, well.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Winston Churchill's grave.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

No, he actually is buried in the countryside. But of course, we did the War Room store, which I highly recommend if you get a chance to do that. Did you do that chick when you were there? The War Rooms where you went down in the bunker?

[Chick McGee]

No, I did not. But my daughter's since gone back and said that. That's an amazing thing to go see his Churchill. They haven't touched it, I guess.

[Christy Lee]

Went to the West End and saw a play, Six. Do you know anything about Six?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I saw one through five, and I didn't care for it.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Is that the one about the wives?

[Christy Lee]

About him? Yeah. Henry, you have to watch the Shark at.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. Did you like it?

[Christy Lee]

I enjoyed it. But Andy looked around, he goes, I think I'm one of four guys in this whole theater. And I go, well, yeah, it's kind of a chick thing, but it's very fun and it kind of fit the mood. You know, we were in that Henry VIII thing. I know more about those queens than I care to talk about.

[Tom Griswold]

But speaking of Queens. We got a letter about cruising.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Tom Griswold]

We'll get to that. Coming up in a few minutes.

[Christy Lee]

A big, big hats off to Colette Travel. They did an amazing job. Our tour guy and our bus, Sean, with an E. I kept calling him Shane because he spells his name funny. And our bus driver, Steve, were just incredible. They were fun. They were wonderful. They made the trip, all the fans made the trip. And hopefully we get to do it again. It was great. Thank you.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, speaking of trips, Pat, you were.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

High school reunion.

[Pat Godwin]

The big three zero.

[Josh Arnold]

Nice.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

How did it go?

[Christy Lee]

Can I say this nicely? You aged a lot better than some of your fellow classmates.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, it was. It was emotional. I mean, we were two of us reunited with our championship jackets because we had given them to girls. That was the tradition, to give it to your girlfriend.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Pat Godwin]

And so at the ceremony, Mel Win and I were given our high school championship jackets.

[Tom Griswold]

They tracked down. They tracked down your high school girlfriend.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Kim Telford.

[Christy Lee]

Another Kim.

[Tom Griswold]

Was she there also?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Are you kidding me? Even in high school?

[Pat Godwin]

Kim Telford. No, I'm not joking.

[Tom Griswold]

Does your jacket fit?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. I'll bring it in tomorrow.

[Josh Arnold]

That's awesome.

[Christy Lee]

It's great in the picture. I wondered if you had had that all these years.

[Pat Godwin]

She kept it immaculate in the closet, I guess. Yeah, it's gorgeous.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't believe she kept it.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, well, Mel Wins was even more dramatic because he didn't know. I kind of had a vague feeling I'd either lost it at a dorm room in college or some gal had it.

[Chick McGee]

That's amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Your friend who got his jacket back from his high school.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, Melwin and I got our jacket.

[Tom Griswold]

Does he still live there in town?

[Pat Godwin]

No, he's in.

[Tom Griswold]

He's in D.C. but they tracked down his girlfriend and she still had it also.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they were able to ask Excavator and they.

[Pat Godwin]

You know, we had. We had an enormous amount of people pass away during your set.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, did you perform?

[Pat Godwin]

I did a little song in a small gathering. We didn't have a PA or anything. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

No pa. No, no, no.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought you were gonna do a whole.

[Pat Godwin]

I thought so too, but they. The Legion didn't allow any amplification.

[Chick McGee]

I understand.

[Pat Godwin]

What?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, they got some jumpy guys with the Legion.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute.

[Josh Arnold]

It causes feedback with the hearing aids.

[Pat Godwin]

A lot of hearing aids.

[Chick McGee]

A lot of stuff went under the bridge. Just the 30th reunion.

[Tom Griswold]

What kind of facility doesn't allow amplification?

[Chick McGee]

The American Legion.

[Pat Godwin]

That American Legion Everybody had it. People have PAs. They still play out. There's two guys in our class that play music out.

[Christy Lee]

How many. How many people in your class showed up?

[Pat Godwin]

That's a good question. I think about 80.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, that's great. That's great.

[Pat Godwin]

40 passed away, which is very high. Yeah, a lot of weight gain. I had to have Mel Winston next to me. People would come up and say, hi, and I'd go, who's that? He'd go, I had no idea.

[Tom Griswold]

You didn't have name tags.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, there were name tags, but, I mean, they're kind of tiny. You didn't want to look down and just be too. Yeah, I did go to the yearbook after. Oh, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, there is a. So we need to get a better thing in our. In our culture for name tags. Yeah. So you don't have to be. You walk up to some woman and go straight for the left boob.

[Christy Lee]

So where do you want them? On their forehead?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Some kind of. That or some kind of a.

[Chick McGee]

How about a hat? How about a name hat?

[Tom Griswold]

Some kind of thing you'd put in your ear, and as you walked up, everyone would be wearing. They'd be wearing some kind of device that would. You'd walk up and it would go. It's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that would be.

[Tom Griswold]

That would give you a little quick bio. Christy Lee on her fourth marriage.

[Christy Lee]

Husband's named Andy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, Current. Current husband, Andy.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, they listened to the show out of Williamsport, so it was kind of like people knew of what you guys do here. So that was kind of nice.

[Josh Arnold]

That's great, man. I mean, that was fun.

[Pat Godwin]

It was fun.

[Tom Griswold]

And now, Josh, did you catch any fish? I know you had your big fishing tournament.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we had a nice time. It was a great weather and wonderful. Cause the tournament was 100 boats. And it was all for raising money for Rett syndrome, which is a neurological disease kids get.

[Chick McGee]

Very rare.

[Josh Arnold]

But so really, really wonderful time.

[Tom Griswold]

So did you catch any fish?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we did. It was slow. The fishing was slow, so we did not place or anything.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. So do you remember what the winning fish was?

[Josh Arnold]

It was a bag. It was. So you have a five fish limit, and it was a bag of about 17 pounds. Is that pretty good for how slow the fishing was? Yes.

[Christy Lee]

That's an average of about three pounds of fish.

[Chick McGee]

A little bit.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, do you get to eat them?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, they release them.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, even the winter?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

I would think that.

[Chick McGee]

Okay. Never. Never seen a fishing tournament. Never been in a fishing tournament.

[Pat Godwin]

Doesn't want to listen.

[Chick McGee]

Never. Doesn't want to other than filling time. Doesn't care what you're saying.

[Tom Griswold]

Right, right.

[Pat Godwin]

Wait for you to be done.

[Chick McGee]

He's just sitting there waiting for you to shut up.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just seeing. I'm seeing this guy with a, with a, with a nice cast iron pan and some, and some fat. And they do a quick shore lunch and you bite in and.

[Chick McGee]

Shore lunch.

[Tom Griswold]

It's full of buckshot. Boy, oh, boy, Mag, you had a good time. Raised some money for a great cause.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there's either long pause, I thought perhaps you were thinking.

No, no, no. I just want to illustrate what a dazzling conversationalist you are. No, no, go ahead. No, I, I, you know, I, I was supposed to go to my 50th, I'll be honest, 50th high school football reunion this past Friday, but I didn't find out about it until Wednesday. And let me ask you something. If you don't find out about a gathering until two days before it happens, do they want you there?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. You're on a list.

[Christy Lee]

Is that how you took that? You didn't, like, drop everything?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. No, no, but I'm not on Facebook, so.

[Tom Griswold]

By any of my names, do me a favor. And God won this and found out how many classmates are dead. I just liked it.

[Chick McGee]

I told you what we do at the. Our. Our 50th is coming up next year and they have a little tree with little Christmas ornaments on Them with pictures of the people who passed away. And no one calls it the death tree but me.

[Pat Godwin]

But ours is the death table.

[Chick McGee]

That's the way.

[Tom Griswold]

Sounds like it was a death redwood.

[Pat Godwin]

They have to get another table.

[Josh Arnold]

Are they just called a slab?

[Chick McGee]

Well, I only. I only had 180. Is that right? That sounds like too many. How many were in your graduating class?

[Tom Griswold]

250.

[Pat Godwin]

I didn't know that.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, mine was 182.

[Tom Griswold]

And that was the average weight. You were saying for the ladies.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. We had like 862 kids in my graduation.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

You remember me? 162 kids in my graduating class. And I finished 81st. Not too smart, not real stupid right there.

[Tom Griswold]

You're not the type to show off.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want some Latin valedictorian BS I saved.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not a test taker. Yeah, that's what I say.

[Tom Griswold]

Or a class attender. This portion of the Bob and Tom show is brought to you by our friends at Raycon.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

At the SILAC Insurance news desk now.

[Tom Griswold]

We called her Christy Lay. That'd be more like if they do the porno version of this show.

[Chick McGee]

My throat is my.

[Tom Griswold]

I think I would. Josh would.

[Chick McGee]

Direct throat and my. My head are still a little wonky. Thanks for. Thanks for calling attention.

[Christy Lee]

How long have you been sick, honey?

[Chick McGee]

Thursday. Ish. Pat gave it to me. He doesn't care. Every morning it's a soul kiss. That's Pat Godwin. Hello, Josh. Arnold, Hi. At the I hate Steven Singer sidekick chair, there's Ace Cosby. Hello. I'm Chick. Hello, Tom.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, by the way, Tom, I forgot the lady at TSA in Philadelphia sends her regards. I have to do that Same.

[Tom Griswold]

Same unpleasant woman.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know if I had the same woman, but there was a general malaise, if you will.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I was yelled at by them. So did they have the proper stuff to put your stuff in?

[Christy Lee]

You know what? They didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what, that's the one where I.

[Christy Lee]

Walked up and they didn't have any buckets. I just. But I didn't need one, so. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

And now I, I don't Doubt your story. Don't get me wrong, but were you yelled at or is it like, oh, yeah, something that you just don't get yelled at ever. And they didn't announce you entering, coming into the airport or anything like that? You're not overreacting?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Was it more of an unpleasant encounter or did she yell at you, or was it both?

[Tom Griswold]

No, she yelled at me. I told you the story.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, well, I gave him a lot of, you know, leeway because with the way things are going, they don't know if they're going to get a check or not. So I was like, okay, you guys, I'm just here. I just want to get through, get on my plane and go my own way.

[Chick McGee]

But I believe if we want to go back to that, that first time you shared us. Shared that with us on the air, it went a little something like this.

[Tom Griswold]

TSA lady was a total.

[Chick McGee]

It wasn't a big fat.

[Tom Griswold]

That gone. If you're that fat in Philadelphia.

[Chick McGee]

Big fat radio.

[Pat Godwin]

I asked for creamy fat.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Pat Godwin]

That's good.

[Josh Arnold]

Funny.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, over the weekend, this past weekend, Pat. God, you went to your high school reunion?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, the big, big five. Zero, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I'm not saying you guys are getting old, but I heard that. Oh, I heard that handicapped parking was rather full.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, to be honest, yes. We had three people that were pretty impaired.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Wheelchairs, cancer mics.

[Tom Griswold]

The cancer mic was that. That's for the people who have. Had lost their voice.

[Pat Godwin]

Luckily they beat it. But.

[Chick McGee]

Wait a minute. What's a cancer mic?

[Christy Lee]

You know, the thing.

[Nick Novicki]

Hold it up.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, you said, you said that you. The hallway. They held your reunion brilliantly. Didn't allow any amplification. Did they let cancer mic man in?

[Pat Godwin]

No, he didn't show up.

[Tom Griswold]

Did he have to go acoustic?

[Pat Godwin]

Pretty big day already.

[Chick McGee]

Ask Pat about where he stayed.

[Tom Griswold]

Where'd you stay, Pat?

[Pat Godwin]

Well, it was called an Airbnb, but I got it off the app. And it was by Harvey's Lake, but they said it was by Harvey's Lake, but it was like miles from Harvey's Lake, you know, in the middle of the woods. And it's a two story, just thrown together piece of crap house and all these cars in the front because they did auto detailing.

[Tom Griswold]

Also.

[Chick McGee]

Did you have to clean up.

[Tom Griswold]

Your car while you were there?

[Pat Godwin]

And it was up at the 2. It was a second story. And I stayed next to Cameron, their son. And the three dogs.

[Josh Arnold]

Three dogs.

[Pat Godwin]

40 degrees out. They didn't heat the place at all. So they had a wood stove, but I woke up was freezing.

[Tom Griswold]

4:00Am how much was this costing you?

[Pat Godwin]

I think it was like 150 bucks. For the three days?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I've stayed a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, no wonder.

[Christy Lee]

No wonder.

[Pat Godwin]

Dude, what is that low?

[Chick McGee]

50 bucks a night.

[Josh Arnold]

That's pretty low.

[Tom Griswold]

And you get to sleep. You got to sleep with three dogs. Sounds like fun.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, it was brutal. It Woke up was 35 degrees.

[Christy Lee]

Three dog night. They kept.

[Chick McGee]

I've never stayed in an Airbnb that was already occupied. They always kind of flare out, shared.

[Pat Godwin]

The bathroom with the whole family.

[Josh Arnold]

That just said the dogs were mean.

[Pat Godwin]

You come in there, that's not a relaxing way to come into your Airbnb.

[Chick McGee]

Well, auto detailing dogs probably aren't that far from junkyard dogs.

[Pat Godwin]

That's exactly what it was.

[Chick McGee]

The same thing.

[Pat Godwin]

They were chained outside.

[Tom Griswold]

There should be a couple federal government regulations. One of them should be when they say it's on a lake, it should be how far away the water is in feet. It's like these apartment complexes. It's Lake View Arms, and there's a view of the lake. If you have a helicopter and can go up 10,000ft.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, the way Zap couldn't even find this particular road.

[Tom Griswold]

You're literally off the grid.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

I'm surprised you got there. That's very impressive.

[Christy Lee]

Seriously, what did you expect for $150?

[Pat Godwin]

I thought it'd be a little better. I thought it was a good price for three days.

[Josh Arnold]

Of course it's a good price. A tent would be 200.

[Tom Griswold]

That doesn't come with the guard dogs.

[Pat Godwin]

I was this close to staying at my sisters. We reconnected or going to the Hampton Inn, but after a couple days I went, ah, I got this.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I'd leave at 4am Listen to you guys, and then do a hike around.

[Josh Arnold]

There's something about slumming it.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. You know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

You know, it was. Yeah. Absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Pat Godwin]

And I would come back at 10pm so you.

[Tom Griswold]

The. You got your high school letter jacket back and your former girlfriend had. Had. Had it this whole time. Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

Kim Telford.

[Tom Griswold]

And you.

[Pat Godwin]

I saw her.

[Tom Griswold]

Is she. Is she married?

[Christy Lee]

Is.

[Tom Griswold]

She had a good life.

[Pat Godwin]

We didn't get that far into her background. I was.

[Tom Griswold]

You didn't ask if she was married.

[Christy Lee]

Ask her if.

[Pat Godwin]

Ask if she was married.

[Josh Arnold]

Went right to bathroom sex.

[Chick McGee]

At that time.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you walk up to her, take a. Take a big whiff of your finger and go. Lingers.

[Pat Godwin]

It was a wild time.

[Chick McGee]

Sounds like it is.

[Tom Griswold]

That Too much. Well, let's move forward here. We do have some. We do have some letters and of course, a couple of interesting things going on in the world. Would you care to read a letter for me?

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob at Top show, longtime listener. Love the show. I was listening. Last week, Chick started running his trap about calico cats. All are female.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

I laughed, thinking Chick was doing what he always does. Well, actually, David found out that only about 1 in 3,000 calico cats are male. He evidently looked it up. So. And I don't think that's right. I think all calico cats are female. What? I said this last week. I stand by it.

[Christy Lee]

I had a calico cat.

[Chick McGee]

Female.

[Christy Lee]

Cali. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Bingo. There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

I think some of them identify as male.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, maybe.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't it too early to start this? Please, can we.

[Nick Novicki]

Sorry.

[Chick McGee]

A moment.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. Language is funny. I was walking into one of the coffee places I go to.

[Christy Lee]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

And I had a handful of waste paper in my hand.

[Christy Lee]

Trash?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I.

[Chick McGee]

Who use waste. Who uses the term waste paper if you're not in third grade and the teacher's talking to you?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know what this even. What could it be, Teacher?

[Chick McGee]

I have some trash. Tommy. That's waste paper. Well, I'll never forget that. Anyway, so you got some waste paper. You walk in.

[Tom Griswold]

I walked in this place. It's kind of. I was, I went in the back door area. And you kind of walk sort of semi through this kitchen and there's a big waste.

[Josh Arnold]

No, you probably just walk semi through the kitchen. Most people don't.

[Christy Lee]

They go in the front door, you know. Have you ever, have you ever read.

[Chick McGee]

Anything about how to economize your speech and anything at all? You use 20 words and you use two.

[Tom Griswold]

I walk in and there's a wastebasket. Is just sort of enter the. Enter the place.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a big table to the right, and there's this old, this old guy is always sitting there, this really old man. And I, I, I heaved my. Of the aforementioned wad of paper and I. And I kind of went, oh, nice job. Because it hit the rim of the wasteback to win it. And then the guy goes. I call that a rim job. Well, old man, I got news for you. Be careful where you say rim job around here. You might. From some homeless guy for 20 bucks.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good price.

[Christy Lee]

Notice how polite people are in London, Chick. Oh, yeah, and they do care.

[Chick McGee]

They're mature.

[Christy Lee]

I learned. I learned the word comfort break.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, a comfort break.

[Christy Lee]

It's when you have. When we would go to the restroom. To the restroom. Would you like a comfort break?

[Pat Godwin]

I like that.

[Christy Lee]

Don't you like that?

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like to drop a deuce.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you like a comfort break? No, but I gotta take a mean dump.

[Pat Godwin]

Do you have any waste paper for my bum?

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Any waste paper? Any waste paper at all? So of course I entered through the bed. Well, there was an opening for people. There was a door.

[Tom Griswold]

You kind of walked through them.

[Chick McGee]

You just walked into the place.

[Josh Arnold]

Preparing in the kitchen. You look over and some guy walks in, arms full of waste paper.

[Tom Griswold]

But I hit the rim and it went in. So I was very proud of myself because it was a left handed throw. Okay, let's see now. We have more letters here. By the way, our letter segment brought to you by our friends at Omaha Steaks. Because it's the steak season, ladies and gentlemen. Time to grill out before the game. Steaks, lasagnas, et cetera. Check out Omaha steaks dot com. Let's say we were talking about candy and the best candies to give out. Now Christie, you weren't here for this, but I decided I'm gonna go and buy those little wax soda bottles.

[Christy Lee]

Oh God, those are awful.

[Tom Griswold]

And you bite the tip off.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, there's like two sips you can't wait to give.

[Tom Griswold]

I believe that the liquid in them is actually has more sugar than actual raw sugar. I don't know how they do it.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom show. Tom, I love. This is from Mitch in Oregon. Tom, I love your idea for goodie bags for Halloween. Candy cigarettes, big league chews candy cigars, wax coke bottles. It's the perfect white trash starter kit. I love them.

[Josh Arnold]

I brought you a bag.

[Tom Griswold]

I love them.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I brought you a bag from a.

[Tom Griswold]

Now do you think the candy cigarettes is a bad idea because you can buy them online?

[Josh Arnold]

I think it's funny.

[Chick McGee]

I think if you want to. If you want to meet some neighbors you haven't met yet, I think putting candy cigarettes in their kids bags is probably Christy a nice icebreaker.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom has said that he's going to give out like real snickers and stuff like that. So. But those bottles, why don't you just.

[Christy Lee]

Give out those wax lips, you know, the vampire instead of those bottles? Those are terrible.

[Chick McGee]

Were you supposed to eat those? The wax lips?

[Pat Godwin]

You chewed them.

[Christy Lee]

You didn't kind of chewed on them?

[Nick Novicki]

Ye.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's a terrible. I'd much rather have the fake plastic painful vampire teeth.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Christy Lee]

They didn't have those back.

[Pat Godwin]

Were they chewable?

[Chick McGee]

The teeth?

[Josh Arnold]

No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

But they'll.

[Josh Arnold]

They'll make a gum bleed if you don't. If you're not careful.

[Tom Griswold]

Dear Bob and Tom show. This comes to us from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Lexington, beautiful Lexington. From Justin, you were talking about trick or treating and the best candy to give out. My neighbor has it all figured out. That's why he has the most popular trick or treat spot in the neighborhood. He has a bowl of king sized candy bars with a sign that says for the kids, please take one. Besides that, he has a cooler. It says for the adults only, please take one. It's full of fireball shots and beers.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, geez.

[Tom Griswold]

It's always our first stop and our last stop as we take the kids trick or treating. Wow. I think that's great. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Until the teenagers find out.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah, good point. Yeah. The ones on the cusp of being able to trick or treat. What is the. What is it? 8th grade, where they stop? 9th. When do they.

[Chick McGee]

I think if you can drive to trick or treat, you probably should drive in yourself.

[Christy Lee]

For some reason, 14 always stuck in my head. I don't know if that's 12, 14, something like that. Speaking of candy, this is from Terry in Auburn. While watching the IU Oregon game Saturday, Go Hoosiers, a commercial came on. It reminded me of your favorite song, Shushu Sugar Town. Did anybody see.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that commercial's everywhere.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

For the Google. Google smartphone.

[Tom Griswold]

And have you guys, any of you guys seen. I mentioned this earlier, the one with the Frankenstein monster for Xfinity? I haven't seen that great commercials. And it's the. It's the Boris Carlo looking Frankenstein version of the Frankenstein monster. It's really funny. But yeah, there's they. The commercial are so good now. The production values are so amazing. Chick, you got another letter over there.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom show. I. I don't know. We were. Were we talking at some point about home remedies? Do you guys remember this?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, a little bit. With the. Jess.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, this may have been Friday.

[Chick McGee]

Okay, well, Craig says to cure thrush in Appalachia, okay. They would find a man who never knew his parents and that man would blow in the affected person's mouth as a cure.

[Josh Arnold]

Weird. Very weird.

[Chick McGee]

My grandfather from Southern Kentucky told me about this.

[Christy Lee]

This. That is crazy.

[Tom Griswold]

Run that by me. What do they do?

[Chick McGee]

If you have. If you have thrush, which is horrible, you don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Essentially a yeast infection in your mouth, right? Yeah. Babies will get it.

[Chick McGee]

You need to find a man who never knew his parents. And that man can blow in the affected person's mouth as a cure.

[Christy Lee]

But that's hard to find in Appalachia.

[Nick Novicki]

Wow.

[Pat Godwin]

They're usually dating them.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you, Pat. You knew where I was going.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I forget which ones we were talking about, but none of them are that. That exotic. Really.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it. Urine in your ear. You had that one.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we discussed that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

That's really something.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Or an ear infection.

[Josh Arnold]

Blowing smoke.

[Chick McGee]

I told you guys this. My mom made me swallow Vic's Vapor Rub, which is poison whiskey and honey.

[Christy Lee]

For a sore throat.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, the whiskey just to shut you up.

[Christy Lee]

Well, maybe worked.

[Tom Griswold]

Probably. Yeah. Now, coming up, what do we have in the world of sports?

[Chick McGee]

We had Major League Baseball. American League Championship series last night. I'll give you a hint. The big dumper was on the victorious team last night in Toronto. Kansas City beats the Detroit lions at Arrowhead 30 to 17. Last night there was a dust up, along with a full slate from the NFL. And from Saturday, college football. James Franklin has been fired as head coach at Penn State. No. By the way, Jim, don't let the door hit you in the ass. And here's a 50 million dollar buyout from Penn State. That's how much they wanted him gone. It's the second largest one in college football history. And the.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, kids, there'll be no art supplies this year at your schools. We're giving $50 million to them. Football.

[Chick McGee]

I think they'll be fine. And top 25 poll. The latest is out. Number one, Ohio State. Number two, M. Three, Indiana. Hoosiers. Number four, Texas A&M. Number five, Ole Miss. And more sports coming up.

Nothing better than A fall weekend. We all had great adventures over the weekend. Pat. A big high school reunion. Christy Lee getting back from a trip to England. Josh. Part of a big charity fishing tournament.

[Chick McGee]

I was uninvited to a high school of football. High school football team reunion. Yeah. Big, big week.

Well, you were invited. Not until last week.

But would you have afternoon?

[Chick McGee]

I might have, yeah, sure.

[Josh Arnold]

I didn't know about my first high school reunion because of. I wasn't on Facebook.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's the only way that they. That's the only reason I'm not in a fetal ball right now is that I'm not on Facebook. And you know, guys don't. They were. The guys on the team were in charge of it, so they weren't. Weren't. You know, there's nobody there. It's gonna. Not like girls, you know, I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone that would do a thorough.

[Chick McGee]

A craft. Proper. A presentation invitation.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I see. What would have been fun.

[Chick McGee]

But it would have been fun.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now, you sent me.

[Chick McGee]

They sent me some pictures.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that was nice.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, wasn't.

[Christy Lee]

Did they Photoshop you in?

[Chick McGee]

No. No, they did not.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe AI get to do that.

[Chick McGee]

They could have, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, how did you do in the shoe?

[Chick McGee]

Six and seven pending tonight's two games and can we start right now? A ground swell. Let's do away with two games on Monday night. Can we just do away with. Let's stop it. I don't know what they're breaking us in for, but just stop it.

[Tom Griswold]

What they're breaking you in for is football.

[Chick McGee]

I.

[Tom Griswold]

Five nights a week.

[Chick McGee]

And you know my rule, the ultimate rule is I'm an NFL fan. I don't care when it's on. I'll watch much. I. I can't lie. But that's. That's too many games on Monday night.

[Pat Godwin]

Were you a fan of Monday nights when it first came on?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God. I lost my mind. Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Already the. The ratings in the NFL are up. Well, significantly.

[Chick McGee]

That was until Frank Gifford started doing play by play. That was a little rough first season with Keith Jackson. That was. That was decent.

[Tom Griswold]

Keith Jackson.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Very good. Remember the first Monday night game tomorrow?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Browns, Jets. And I forget who won, but I think the Browns won. I think in Cleveland. You know who was the quarterback for the Jets? Joe. Willie Namath. That's my Howard Cosell.

[Josh Arnold]

It's pretty good.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you very much.

[Josh Arnold]

Because it's not over the top. No, it's right in there.

[Chick McGee]

Conversational Howard.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

What I Call it.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. Well, what's happening in sports these days?

[Chick McGee]

Let's see. Patrick Mahomes. He's Jesus and cleats.257 yards and three touchdowns and led the Chiefs a 30 to 17 win over the Detroit Lions. And last night's game ended with a scuffle. Dust up among Lions players. Mahomes tried to give Brian Branch, defensive back for the Lions, a high five after the final whistle. The lion safety walked right by him.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he did.

[Chick McGee]

Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith. Schuster took umbrage, had words with Branch, who then. I'll let my fists do the talking. Delivered a punch that set off a brief melee.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, Branch's first name isn't alive, is it?

[Chick McGee]

No, sir.

[Josh Arnold]

Very good.

[Chick McGee]

Tea or coffee? Hollywood Brown had two touchdown receptions. Xavier Worthy had another for the Chiefs. They even their record of 3 and 3. The Lions fall to 4 and 2 after last night's game.

[Tom Griswold]

Hollywood Brown.

[Chick McGee]

Marquis Hollywood Brown. I don't know if he's ever been to Hollywood, but that's great name. That's his nickname. Not the best nickname I have always. I like Cadillac Williams. Running back for Tampa Bay. I forget what his real name was. I was call him Cadillac. Been a while.

[Tom Griswold]

Better than the Big Dumper.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Has the Big Dumper embraced the Big Dumper?

[Chick McGee]

Big Dumper loves the Big Dumper.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Have you seen the Dumper on the Big Dumper?

[Christy Lee]

He's got a dumper?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he's got a big.

[Chick McGee]

It's impressive.

[Tom Griswold]

It's gonna.

[Chick McGee]

He goes yard last night.

[Tom Griswold]

Is he gonna sell the rights to it to some portalette company?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember the controversy about the portalette company called here's Johnny.

[Chick McGee]

Cut that Out.

[Tom Griswold]

And Johnny Carson had to go to court to get him to stop calling it.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no kidding.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the Dumper Home run last night. Jorge Polanco. I'm Just a Bird in the sky or something like that.

[Tom Griswold]

That was a Jackson Brown tune.

[Chick McGee]

No, Linda Paloma.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, Linda Paloma.

[Chick McGee]

That's the track we skipped over.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

When there were vinyl records, you had to get up and move the needle on that one.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Somebody, Jackson, went somewhere and heard a harp and. Oh, I got to put that on the album. No, you don't. Jackson don't do that. Anyway, the Dumper homers and the Mariners beat the Blue Jays 31 in game one of the ALCS. And what does that stand for tomorrow, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

American League Championship.

[Chick McGee]

That's exactly right, buddy. That's game one. So Mariners up one game to none, they take this one in Toronto Ouch.

[Josh Arnold]

Was there a baseball game Saturday?

[Chick McGee]

There was. Oh, yeah. The brewers beat the Cubs to advance. The brewers beat the Cubs to advance to the National League. The nlcs, Tom. And what does that stand for, actually?

[Tom Griswold]

Champion.

[Chick McGee]

That's exactly after the loss.

[Josh Arnold]

How many Cubs fans punch 10 year old kids?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, 8 o' clock tonight, Eastern.

[Josh Arnold]

That in game one. Sorry.

[Chick McGee]

Dodgers @ Milwaukee. Cut that out.

[Christy Lee]

And I missed that.

[Chick McGee]

Where was I?

[Josh Arnold]

We didn't talk about it. For some reason.

[Chick McGee]

We didn't talk about the Cubs fan.

[Josh Arnold]

Allegedly punching a 10 year old child during game one. As a Cubs fan will do what.

[Chick McGee]

I missed this game one in Milwaukee or Chicago or do we know or.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it was in Milwaukee. Where.

[Nick Novicki]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

I, I, Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Brewers Melee and.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, well, wait a minute.

[Josh Arnold]

This building's lousy with Cubs fans. So that's why we didn't talk about it.

[Chick McGee]

I don't care. Lot of C. We've always been Pro Cups.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Pat Godwin]

I mean, this is Pro cup all way here.

[Chick McGee]

We're Pro Cups.

[Tom Griswold]

We don't know from the card.

[Chick McGee]

We don't know from the card.

[Christy Lee]

As a Cardinals fan.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, of course he is.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm talking as a baseball fan.

[Chick McGee]

See, that's a problem with Cardinals fans. They think because they like the Cardinals. This is baseball. Okay, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Did the kid deserve it was what happened?

[Josh Arnold]

Actually, I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

I haven't heard.

[Pat Godwin]

There's some pretty nasty 10 year olds out there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they're really nasty.

[Chick McGee]

Good, good size 10.

[Josh Arnold]

There's some really big cruel 10 year.

[Chick McGee]

Olds out right there.

[Tom Griswold]

Corporal punish. Straight.

[Chick McGee]

You guys got me off.

[Tom Griswold]

But the Cubs did not win, Christy. They, they're gone now. They're done.

[Chick McGee]

They were eliminated Saturday. Dodgers.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's a good thing because if, if they had won, if the Cubs had one and in Chicago, they wouldn't have been able to celebrate with cold champagne.

[Chick McGee]

However.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh, did you see the mayor and the governor don't want ice in Chicago.

[Chick McGee]

Did you see.

[Tom Griswold]

You see the ice is the same thing as a cold substance. We'll be right back.

[Chick McGee]

No, hang on a second. I got to do this. Tom anchors America.

[Tom Griswold]

But did you see the brewers political joke?

[Chick McGee]

Really apolitical. They don't like.

[Pat Godwin]

Are you kidding?

[Chick McGee]

Nothing political about that at all.

[Josh Arnold]

You.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway, what I was going to say that was kind of fun was a Brewer celebration after disposing of Chicago. They flew an L in their, in their clubhouse. Oh, you know, they always fly the W and the white and they had a white flag with a blue L on it. It was hilarious.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Where did they.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if they made it. They must have stole it or something.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Money, More sports and less time.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we'll be joined by comedian Nick Novicki coming up this morning from the Aurelio.

[Chick McGee]

I bet he knows dinklage.

Jeff Osk's here. Hey, man, there's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby over there. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

We're talking sports. Anybody? Anything?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we got a letter here we might want to squeeze in, if you don't mind.

[Chick McGee]

Squeeze it in, Jam it in.

[Tom Griswold]

You were reading a letter about the person tuning in, turning in their dash cam after an accident. And if you remember the story, the person had been in an accident. I guess they were in a court and they had to play the dash cam. And the audio on the dash cam was actually something from this show. Oh, well, it was somewhat inappropriate.

[Christy Lee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Similarly.

[Chick McGee]

What do you mean? Inappropriate for the court or something we shouldn't have been saying for the court?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. And with no context. It was a little bit rough. This. I was pulling into Culver's listening to your show.

[Josh Arnold]

Good choice.

[Tom Griswold]

They pull you off choices.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They pull you off to the side and the workers bring you your food when you're ready. I had my window down listening to your show. Just as Jess Hooker said, quote, so what does a butt plug even do for you? There was a 16 year old boy standing, holding my food, speechless at my window, which was open so.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I, I was homesick. I did not hear that question. I'd like to hear an answer. I, yeah, I've never been in the butt plug world, but nor have I What.

[Pat Godwin]

What is the allure?

[Chick McGee]

Did you. Yeah. Did you land on an answer?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't recall.

[Josh Arnold]

It can help you prepare for the actual big event. Event? Yeah. With a partner.

[Chick McGee]

Does it get.

[Christy Lee]

Does it hold stuff in?

[Chick McGee]

It probably could get your attention or.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Handy. If you're.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, there, handsome.

[Josh Arnold]

It can loosen up that area for later. It can also just be pleasurable on its own.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And I'm not a butt plug guy, but these. This is all I've heard about it because I had many questions.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I talked to professionals, and Christie does point out. Handy, if you're loose back there, you're concerned that. Yeah, I guess there might be leakage during any kind of violent hunt.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know. I mean, that's kind of like holding your nostrils closed when you sneeze. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Things back up.

[Josh Arnold]

I gotta kill brain cells.

[Chick McGee]

I see. I see. Gotta be some way to relieve that pressure now.

[Tom Griswold]

And do you still have that letter about the folk remedy? I. I remembered why we were talking about it. It's because we had that story about the lady that was doing an old folk remedy that involved swallowing live frogs for back pain. What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And she had to go to the hospital.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, she swallowed.

[Chick McGee]

Well, this from Craig, who was in China.

[Nick Novicki]

Chris.

[Josh Arnold]

To get smell.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

He says to cure thrush in Appalachia, which is bingo. What Josh said, a yeast infection in your mouth. Oh, I guess you really love bread, huh?

[Josh Arnold]

He just won't stop eating thrush.

[Tom Griswold]

Also, the bad guys on what television show?

[Chick McGee]

Man from U.N.C.L.E yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

They were like the specter of the man from UNCLE. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's also a game bird, isn't it?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I thought. I think a wood thrush, I believe. Anyway, to cure thrush in Appalachia, Craig tells us they would find a man who never knew his parents. And said man would blow in the affected person's mouth and it would cure thrush. Craig says. My grandfather from Southern Kentucky told me about this cure.

[Josh Arnold]

Very strange.

[Pat Godwin]

Green Mile.

[Nick Novicki]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Be easier in today's world to find a guy like that. That with, you know, social media. Otherwise you got to, what, go knocking door to door?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Hey, do you know your folks?

[Pat Godwin]

Does anybody really know their folks?

[Christy Lee]

Folks in Appalachia have phones?

[Josh Arnold]

No, but I think everybody knew everything about everyone.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that's.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. There was probably a thrush guy on the mountain. Jim take care of you?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Poor bastard never knew his mom or dad. But he'll cure throat.

[Tom Griswold]

So he has to blow into your throat Throat.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, right in the.

[Chick McGee]

Right in your mouth, which is in your throat, you weirdo.

[Josh Arnold]

Who knows how close you had to get, you know, lips were touching like, like CPR kind of thing or.

[Christy Lee]

Tom's creeped out.

[Tom Griswold]

So gross.

[Josh Arnold]

What are you crossed out? Just kiss an Appalachian man.

[Chick McGee]

I could tell you you're saying, yeah, gross. But your eyes are.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy. Oh yeah, his eyes are playing dueling banjos.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, some. Some toothless. Toothless guy with the most wretched breath you've ever encountered.

[Josh Arnold]

I think they have good breath. All that moonshine. There's zero bacteria. Those mouths.

[Chick McGee]

That's where they got a Lavoris recipe from.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway, we had a football game last night. Sunday night football. The Chiefs and the Lions, Kansas City victorious. But there was a brouhaha, a melee at the end. Ruckus, A small melee. Chiefs win 30 17. Beating the Lions last night. But Mahomes, at the end of the game, as you'll see on the video, tried to give Brian Branch a high five. Here he comes in, he goes, hey, man, you take it easy. Branch ignores him. Oh, that's the high hat Holmes is.

[Josh Arnold]

Kind of laughing about.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. Mahomes is like, whatever, man. And then Schuster comes. That's juju. Schuster comes in and he goes, hey, man, what are you doing? And then Branch punts. You shoot juju right in the mouth.

[Tom Griswold]

Mouth.

[Chick McGee]

And then all hell breaks loose, kind of for an itty bitty moment.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the guy deserves to get tackled like that. He hit the guy in the face.

[Christy Lee]

Not have done that.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, juju shouldn't have got involved anyway. Yeah, something.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, Mahomes laughed it off.

[Chick McGee]

Look, I know Smith, a wide receiver for the Chiefs. He's trying. He's standing up. He's standing up for Mahomes. He wants the ball. That's all he wants. Throw to me. You see how I stood up for you?

[Josh Arnold]

It's easy to forget too, that These are all 22 years year olds in a way.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, at least in hockey, they take their helmets off so you can get some flesh.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they don't want to. They, they.

[Chick McGee]

That's the number one rule the NFL breaks out. Keep your helmet on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Last night, game one of the American League Championship series. The Seattle Mariners in the big dumper beat Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto by score, 3 to 1. And I'm not sure what the exchange rate. What that score.

[Tom Griswold]

Score.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, no, I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

In America. The dumper did hit a home run though. And they take a One game to non lead. And tonight game one between the Dodgers and the brewers, who easily dispatched the Cubs on Saturday. There, are you happy now?

[Josh Arnold]

A Cubs loss is better than a Cardinals win.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding. See that's where I am with the Cowboys. I, I'm kind of on the fence.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I, I really don't.

[Chick McGee]

So the Cowboys lost yesterday. So. Man. Anyway, Chargers, Rams in New England, Pittsburgh, Seattle, Las Vegas, Green Bay and Tampa Bay all win. Also Denver, Carolina and Indianapolis get victories yesterday. Two games tonight of Monday Night Football, real bad idea. NFL stop it. Early game at like seven. Eastern Buffalo at Atlanta and then the later game like 8:15 Chicago at Washington. Those times Eastern college football. James Franklin out at Penn State. The school fired the longtime football coach on Sunday. Less than 24 hours after that 22, 21 home lost at Northwestern. Yes, Franklin did receive a $50 million buyout.

[Josh Arnold]

That's the dream, isn't it?

[Chick McGee]

That of course, nowhere near the largest buyout. $77 million. Texas A&M. And Jimbo Fisher got 77 million. They told him to go, you're fired. But here's $77 million. That's gotta make it hurt a little less, huh?

[Christy Lee]

And I. You'd never hear from me again.

[Chick McGee]

They top buyouts right now in college football. Co head coaches that are in effect right now. Are you ready? Kirby Smart. Kirby Smart at Georgia, they fire him. They owe him $105 million. I'm not kidding. Ryan Day Buckeyes fire him. 70 million million.

[Tom Griswold]

What's Belichick.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, Belichick is 20 million. But he can, he can pay them a million dollars and he walks. So I think that's what's going to happen here soon. But you didn't hear me say that is every. Can everybody follow me?

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't hear you saying. What'd you say?

[Chick McGee]

Kaylin DeBoer at Alabama's got a 60 million dollar buyout. These are ones that although Kaylin kind of saved his job this year, sort of. But Steve Sarkeesian with the victory of Oklahoma over the week weekend, this might not be in play anytime soon, but when it does happen, Sarkeesian of Texas gets 60 million. Dabo Sweeney of Clemson 60 million. Mike Norvell of Florida State 58.7 million. Dan Lanning at Oregon who just lost to Indiana on Saturday. The Oregon faithful probably not happy with him. Oh, you want to fire him? Okay, you fire Dan Lanning, you owe him $57 million. And if the Indiana Hoosier.

[Tom Griswold]

Now do you get it all at once or is it like the lottery. Can you. Is it like a dollar. A dollar a week until.

[Chick McGee]

No, you get. You get your bank statement. You take a look. Oh, they paid me and Kurt Signetti his buyout with the Indiana Hoosiers $57 million.

[Josh Arnold]

I wonder if you can do like. Could he. If I boy, because for 57 million just to go. You know what? I'm done with this. I just want to be. I just want that money. Right. I'm going to go up and kiss a cheerleader. Or is there something in the contract that says you do something like that? You can't.

[Chick McGee]

It's a morals clause probably. And it's something about those two pesky words. There are two pretty cool. Portions is a great word. Portions of the proceeds and for cause I'm sure is in their contract. Moral turpitude, I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

I was using some turpitude last night to clean up up some paint.

[Josh Arnold]

Usually works.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Little moral. Moral turpitude. Get the. Get the. This is an oil based paint, of course.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, and hey, sorry Niners fans. Fred Warner out for the season. He broke and dislocated his ankle yesterday. Oh, the t. He lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hey, man.

[Chick McGee]

Josh, Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick. What's happening over there in the world?

[Chick McGee]

Well. And now there. There needs to be some sort of indicator as the stories that Tom wants done in sports and the actual sports stories.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I don't think you really need an indicator.

[Chick McGee]

You guys on the same page with me? You kind of know, you know, had. We had football, we had base playoff baseball.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. People fighting on the field. The NFL.

[Christy Lee]

Penn State losing their coach. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Although this is an NHL story.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

The San Jose Sharks are offering fans a brand new food concession.

[Tom Griswold]

You love these food stories this season.

[Josh Arnold]

You love them.

[Chick McGee]

You love them.

[Tom Griswold]

You're always reading these.

[Chick McGee]

You're always reading these. Jeez. It's called the Chum Bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

The Chum Bucket is. This could be brilliant. A bucket of popcorn with chunks of strawberry Pop Tarts.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Topped with teal chocolate, red chocolate and freeze dried strawberries.

[Nick Novicki]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if any of that. It's very colorful, any flavor, but I think. But the strawberry lends itself to looking good. Like chum blood.

[Josh Arnold]

Bloody body parts. I'd give. I'd try that.

[Tom Griswold]

It doesn't. Well, it's Chum Bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Doesn't that sound like one of those substitute curse words?

[Chick McGee]

That's the name of the restaurant of spongebob. Right. The Chum Bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't that right?

[Pat Godwin]

Is it?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, is it really?

[Josh Arnold]

That's where they get. You get the Krabby Patty.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Mr. Crab runs the Chum Bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Some kids gonna go remove the H.

[Christy Lee]

You would.

[Josh Arnold]

Some kid.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, some kid. That big kid.

[Chick McGee]

Let me ask you honestly, and I'm being honest, I never thought of that until he said that.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't either.

[Chick McGee]

No, I. I did not. Did not cross my mind with the word chum.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

I unfortunately go to a restaurant called that.

[Josh Arnold]

I would not have the chowder.

[Chick McGee]

Or.

[Pat Godwin]

The tapioca pudding at the end.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought you love these weird treats they have at sporting events.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's kind of a tradition when baseball season starts, we talk about those.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, well, beginning in the NHL. See? So. Yeah, that's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, it's beginning.

[Tom Griswold]

Josh is an NHL fan. I thought I'd do something for him today.

[Josh Arnold]

Thank you for the gift.

[Tom Griswold]

Cheer him up a little bit.

[Josh Arnold]

Cheer me up a little bit.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, he came in depressed.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Clearly.

[Chick McGee]

They should do something with Ding Dongs, right?

[Josh Arnold]

What would you do with a Ding Dong?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you cover it like two or three more times in chocolate and.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh. So.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, because the hockey puck.

[Chick McGee]

A hockey puck. And then.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a pretty good idea.

[Chick McGee]

Anything at all.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, you could have somebody shoot it into your mouth. What about that? Well, yes.

[Chick McGee]

No, that's the. That's the chum.

[Tom Griswold]

Christie's gone for two weeks and starts shouting out things like English.

[Josh Arnold]

What about a small net made out of the funnel cake? Okay, so you know how you can take funnel cake? You can kind of make a netting.

[Chick McGee]

Right?

[Josh Arnold]

And then you put a Ding Dong in that.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that sounds good.

[Chick McGee]

Give me four pucks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Or whatever you'd call them now.

[Josh Arnold]

They do. Sometimes they'll say, put the biscuit in the bathroom basket.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there you go.

[Josh Arnold]

So a biscuit and a basket of. Maybe. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

A basket of what?

[Chick McGee]

Basket of fries.

[Tom Griswold]

It has to be Basket of gravy.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

No, gravy doesn't come in a basket.

[Tom Griswold]

Fries come with a basket.

[Josh Arnold]

Welcome to Messi's.

[Chick McGee]

I'm. I'm NHL. Stanley Cup Point here. Mark Messier. Welcome to Messi.

[Josh Arnold]

Faith.

[Tom Griswold]

Famous for gravy in a basket. Be careful, it's hot. It spills all over your lap.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, and it's. It's a sawmill gravy. It's the cream color gravy.

[Tom Griswold]

Someone. Someone of the nhlt. One of the. Must have some kind of a puck. Some kind of A puck.

[Josh Arnold]

I've never seen it. They must though.

[Tom Griswold]

That would make.

[Josh Arnold]

That would make Ding Dongs really are the perfect thing for that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. You like a Ding Dong, Tom? When's the last time you ate it?

[Tom Griswold]

I've never had a Ding Dong. What's in a Ding Dong?

[Chick McGee]

Never had a Ding Dong.

[Josh Arnold]

Chocolate and cream. White. Cream.

[Chick McGee]

It's like a hockey puck shaped hobo.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what they look like. I just don't eat that kind of.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's just like a ho.

[Josh Arnold]

It is the. Yeah, the hoho and grass.

[Christy Lee]

I know you don't eat that kind of stuff now, but you never did. Ever, as a kid. You didn't have them in your lunchbox?

[Tom Griswold]

No. My mother would never have allowed that. There was a short, brief romance with Hostess Twinkies.

[Josh Arnold]

These are the cousin of Twinkies. Their Hostess as well.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever take the Twinkies and squeeze it like it's a zing it and had that stuff pop out?

[Josh Arnold]

No, we never did do that.

[Tom Griswold]

No, me neither.

[Josh Arnold]

Because you had the kind of three holes in the bottom of the Twinkie. I guess it could come out like that.

[Christy Lee]

Am I just older and bigger? But do Ding Dongs. Are they smaller than they were when.

[Chick McGee]

They are markedly smaller.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. Well, we have a potato chip news coming up because you know the big scandal in the potato chip world was all the air in the bags. But first, shrinkflation. I believe.

[Chick McGee]

Believe they call it the Savannah Bananas. Will be joined by five barnstorming teams in 2026. Banana Ball is a phenomenon. Founder Jesse Cole announced that the new Banana ball championship league's 2026 scheduled appearances will be in 75 stadiums in 45 states.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Including and this is not limited to. I'm sure this will continue to grow. Two NFL sites. The Superdome in New Orleans and Gillette Stadium in Boston. And two new teams are being added. The beach themed Loco Beach. Cocoa Nuts and the Indianapolis Clowns. An actual team that was in the Negro leagues.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

A tribute to the original barnstorming team.

[Tom Griswold]

So then the Indianapolis Clowns. They don't have a team bus. They all. It's amazing. The whole team gets out of a small sedan.

[Josh Arnold]

It's really something. Yeah. They save on gas.

[Chick McGee]

I have a clown's jacket. Very cool. The other teams in the league are the party animals have always been. Yeah. The perennial favorites. The Firefighters and the Texas Tailgaters.

[Tom Griswold]

And is this going to be.

[Chick McGee]

They have special rules for banana ball. Don't ask me what the rules are.

[Tom Griswold]

But is there going to be sort of a Washington Generals thing going on?

[Chick McGee]

I don't think so.

[Josh Arnold]

Not really. In this case.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I think they play each other.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Because this is the equivalent. Sort of the equivalent of. Of the Globetrotter.

[Chick McGee]

The party animals, I believe, win quite often, but it's all known as banana ball.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Okay. Very good.

[Chick McGee]

And also in sports, an Oklahoma girls basketball team or.

[Tom Griswold]

This is a.

[Nick Novicki]

Why.

[Tom Griswold]

Why do you act like this is not a good story?

[Chick McGee]

An Oklahoma girls basketball team returned their championship plaque after discovering it actually lost the title game. Okay. The mistake was uncovered after Academy of Classical Christian Studies High School seemingly beat Apache High School. The Academy head coach, Brendan King, watched the game tape after noticing some confusion with the scoreboard. He recounted every basket and discovered his team had actually lost 43, 42, and not one. 44, 43. Oh, wow. Though league rules state that there was no changing the score, Mr. King told CBS News that he had to tell his team that you guys actually lost. After unanimously agreeing to return the championship, Mr. King Hand delivered the championship plaque to Apache High.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's nice. He did the right thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Integrity in sports. I thought it would be something.

[Josh Arnold]

Christian school. I would hope they would make the right choice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, well, kids, integrity doesn't look good in a trophy case, but, yeah, they did the right thing. Isn't that nice for a change? Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, you couldn't sit with that. Nobody would feel the losing team.

[Chick McGee]

All the crying and upset.

[Josh Arnold]

That coach would have burned in hell for eternity.

[Chick McGee]

They were.

[Christy Lee]

What was the name of that high school again?

[Pat Godwin]

A lot of things going on.

[Tom Griswold]

The Academy of Classical Christian Studies High School.

[Christy Lee]

How does that fit on a Jersey, man?

[Tom Griswold]

The ACCs. HGB. I. I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

The fighting. What. What would you be called?

[Tom Griswold]

I would assume it's something biblical, don't you think?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Classical Christian.

[Josh Arnold]

The Philistines. That's what they are.

[Nick Novicki]

I'll.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll look it up.

[Christy Lee]

No, that's interesting. I just. That's quite a title for a school. It's all right. Don't worry about it.

[Tom Griswold]

The Academy of Classical Christian.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's a nice story.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Do the right thing. Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Feel good.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, this is interesting. I'm glad you asked, Christy. They're the Griffins.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it's a mythical creature.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there a griffin in the Bible?

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. I don't think so. Seems like the head of an eagle and the body of a lion or something like that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Seems like an Odd choice. Maybe there was a. Maybe there was a preacher named Mr. Griffin.

[Josh Arnold]

Who's the son?

[Tom Griswold]

The mascot's a flying reverend.

[Chick McGee]

Guy with.

[Tom Griswold]

Guy with wings. Is that sports?

[Chick McGee]

Yes, that's sports. Gentlemen, to the medicine cabinet.

[Tom Griswold]

Now. Christy Lee is over there. She's back at the Silac Insurance news.

[Christy Lee]

Desk with a lot of food news today. You just. It kind of opened the hockey puck talk.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

The potato chip brand known as Lays.

[Chick McGee]

A very good brand workhorse of the.

[Christy Lee]

Industry, has drastically changed its branding after finding out 40% of consumers did not know their chips were made out of potatoes.

[Chick McGee]

Huh.

[Christy Lee]

The new bags are designed to look like wood planks, reminiscent of potato crates, while a new logo incorporates the sun photos of potatoes on the bag and the phrase made with real potatoes. What did people think they were made from?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. 40% of people.

[Chick McGee]

That.

[Tom Griswold]

This. That can't be.

[Josh Arnold]

40% of people thought they were just fake, I guess. Huh.

[Tom Griswold]

These people get to drive vote.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I mean, there's a lot of food out there that claims to be something and it isn't. I kind of see some skepticism.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, on the other side of it, the Pringles have to be called potato crisps, correct?

[Nick Novicki]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Chick McGee]

There was a big damn deal about that.

[Tom Griswold]

They still have the word potato in them. What do people. People not want to get them? Because I thought these are vegetables. Yick.

[Christy Lee]

Called lay's potato chips. Right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

But I get skeptical sometimes. You go, yeah, I don't know that that's actually like. Is it 10% potato? Is it 100%?

[Christy Lee]

I see what you're saying.

[Tom Griswold]

They're all potato.

[Josh Arnold]

That may be the case with the lays. That might be the case with lays. But I can see why some consumers are skeptical. We've been lied to for 100 years.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now. Are Pringles 100%? They're just ground up potatoes. Right.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know what Pringles are. Pringles or potato Crisp.

[Tom Griswold]

As you said, there's no filler.

[Pat Godwin]

I think there might be.

[Josh Arnold]

There has to be. I think some of us nerf like 12%. There is. The FDA says a certain percentage of NERF can be allowed.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know what NERF is, but, man, those Pringles are good. That's all I know. Yeah, they're delightful.

[Tom Griswold]

Is. I think it's rayon. Is that what it is?

[Chick McGee]

You just stack them up and take them over your chair and just shovel them in you.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you ever eat one at a time?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my goodness, no.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

The mouth. The mouth feel of Two or three is really good.

[Pat Godwin]

It is. That's fun.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes I'll have one at a time just to remind myself. Oh, yeah, we don't do it that way.

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Chick McGee]

And I like to. I like to mix too. What like, you know, like a sour cream and onion and barbecue pizza flavor.

[Tom Griswold]

What came first? The idea for the packaging or the idea for the Pringle?

[Pat Godwin]

They both came at the same time.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, when they first started, they go, we'll put these in bags. Makes them both happy because, I mean, it's so. It's so efficient.

[Josh Arnold]

Greg Warren is all about the.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, you can ask Greg when he calls in.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, let's.

[Josh Arnold]

Mitch Hedberg had a joke about that. That originally was a tennis ball company, but one time the rubber didn't show up. A bunch of potatoes did. And so they were like, ah, screw it. Cut them them up.

[Tom Griswold]

They're delightful and delicious. What's coming up, Christy Lee?

[Christy Lee]

What goes with potato chips? Burgers. We'll have the world's most expensive burger. Coming up. We have scrapple in the news.

[Chick McGee]

How much would you pay for a cheeseburger? Like a really good cheeseburger?

[Tom Griswold]

What.

[Chick McGee]

What's your top end?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I'd go, you know, 20 bucks.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. I would think 20. Yeah. Well, is that. Now is that a platter or just a sandwich? Sandwich.

[Josh Arnold]

I would want fries with that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Is that a half pound burger? It's gotta be a half pound, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, at least a half pound.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you guys are low.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You are low.

[Chick McGee]

Well, yeah, we're simple men.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And going here. Absolutely delicious, though. Certainly. Now, what else is coming up?

[Christy Lee]

Also, we have some news from the Sphere in Las Vegas.

[Josh Arnold]

And they're closing, apparently. No one's going to that.

[Chick McGee]

Evidently the sphere was held up. Up with air. But you had to open a door in a certain way or would deflate and someone open up the wrong door. Deflated over the weekend.

[Christy Lee]

And there could be an interesting side effect of stevia in the news.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, all right, we'll look forward to all those things. And we never got to post orgasmic illness.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I have that too.

[Tom Griswold]

A fellas, stand by poi.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, oh boy.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll find out what that's all about. More poi and flying cars. Once again in the news. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Jeff Oskay. Yeah, yeah. Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the I Hate Steven Singer sidekick chair. There's Ace Cosby. Hello, I'm Chick McGee. We have a story from our break room.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Hi, Tom. How are you?

[Tom Griswold]

I missed it. I was in here.

[Chick McGee]

So I walk into the break room, and a lot of times, too, I'm gonna say, three times out of five, I don't go in there to get anything. I go in there to listen. And this time was. This time was to get something and to listen at the same time. So I'm standing there, there. And Josh, if you'd be so kind as to retell, because I noticed these were sitting on the calendar. We have, like, different foods and sodas and beverages and things.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

In our.

[Chick McGee]

A green room.

[Josh Arnold]

And this morning, we all noticed that there were four or five packages, new packages of Fig Newman's. These are the Newman's own version of the Fig Newton.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry, the great Paul Newman.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Yeah. And I, you know, just Paul Newman.

[Chick McGee]

We don't have to call him the Great, but if you feel compelled.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom said he had opened a package at home, and, yeah, it was slightly stale. And so he decided to bring them in. Bring them in for us.

[Chick McGee]

Bring him in for us.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Now, if that's not. If that's not love with a subtle fu.

[Christy Lee]

All of the packages are stale.

[Tom Griswold]

I bought. I don't know, I bought six packages of them.

[Chick McGee]

They're good.

[Josh Arnold]

They're bound to go stale.

[Tom Griswold]

And I.

[Chick McGee]

They're go. They're good enough for those clowns.

[Tom Griswold]

The first one I opened had gone, so I saved two at home. I thought you. I don't know. Let's. We should. We should open one and see if it's okay.

[Chick McGee]

I detest Fig Newton.

[Josh Arnold]

When you look at us, you see garbage display.

[Tom Griswold]

Just. Just garbage.

[Pat Godwin]

Kelly, these are expired. What should we do with them? I give them to the Dogs.

[Tom Griswold]

I saved two of them for myself at home. I'm assuming that. I don't know. I hope they're not all stale.

[Christy Lee]

Did you check the expiration date?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I just.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes when you buy your snack cookies by the case.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Some of the packages go stale.

[Chick McGee]

And you would think the great Paul Newman would come up with a way to keep Fig Newton's fresh.

[Tom Griswold]

Fig Newman's. Okay, here we. Here. Here's a couple. Oh, can you open one up, Jeffrey?

[Pat Godwin]

Look at the expiration date.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, don't open them all now.

[Chick McGee]

Then they'll all go. We're. Open them. We're gonna open them or we're gonna throw them out. You know what? And you said something. Pat said what? Give them to the dogs. No, we're below dogs. He wouldn't give these to his dog.

[Christy Lee]

Expiration date, March 13th of 2026.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Pat Godwin]

Well within range.

[Tom Griswold]

Open one of them up. Let's see.

[Christy Lee]

Go ahead, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Man, I don't want.

[Josh Arnold]

I would say, though, a lot of the Newtons have that stale cut. They're a little bit. I thought that was part of the whole experience, was that they were sort of dry.

[Chick McGee]

These are. These are dry as dust.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I. I bet they're popcorn farts.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, this is as dry as my high school reunion.

[Chick McGee]

You be the. You be the judge. They're crunchy. Are Fig Newtons supposed to be crunchy?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

How is it, Jeff? It's stale. I mean, more stales than. Than your standard Newton.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe that's just the way they're made.

[Tom Griswold]

I think this is a bad batch.

[Chick McGee]

Fig Newtons are supposed to be more stuff. Gotcha.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's like they put one of those little tabs they put in with your shoes to take all the moisture out. Oh, yeah. These must be still. In fact, this one. This package is signed by Paul Newman himself.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I. I don't look to Hollywood icons for my foodstuffs, just.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he's usually got a pretty good.

[Tom Griswold]

Paul Newman makes great salad dressing, spaghetti sauce.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, at the very least, it's. That's a great. He gives all that money to kids and stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

They've given millions upon millions of music.

[Chick McGee]

That's how he hides behind.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't bring him in just because I thought they were stale.

[Chick McGee]

I was.

[Josh Arnold]

I kind of think you did.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I kind of think you did, too.

[Josh Arnold]

I can't.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not gonna eat six boxes.

[Chick McGee]

No, none of us said you did. You said you did.

[Christy Lee]

Why did you buy eight boxes?

[Josh Arnold]

Because he ordered them online and thought he was getting one.

[Tom Griswold]

No, because the last time I got them, they were delightful. And I thought I shared them. Didn't I bring him in before?

[Chick McGee]

Weren't they every three weeks you're going to get eight more stale boxes.

[Josh Arnold]

You know what somebody told me?

[Chick McGee]

Adjust your subscribe and save.

[Josh Arnold]

They swear that this is a good hack for the Newtons and or Fig Newman's. Now, they also make Apple Newtons. You take like four of them, you put them in a bowl or. And you microwave them for like 30 seconds.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

And then vanilla ice cream on top. Yes, that's what people say.

[Tom Griswold]

Delightful.

[Josh Arnold]

So maybe since these are slightly stale, we can do something like that.

[Chick McGee]

There's some.

[Tom Griswold]

Still, some people have to do it here. So I don't have a freezer at my house. We're going on week four.

[Christy Lee]

They don't have a freezer.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. The moratorium with the government shut down.

[Christy Lee]

Brand new appliances.

[Josh Arnold]

They've been drinking their bomb pops.

[Chick McGee]

They stop. They stopped selling freezers. The tariffs and everything. Yeah, can't get apart.

[Josh Arnold]

If he offers you an ice cream sandwich, say, no, thanks.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe instead of buying. Well, now, never mind.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a sub zero. And apparently the zero stands for the availability of parts.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently, the fridge costs 400 bucks. Never initially, never a problem.

[Tom Griswold]

Next time I'm going to Sears.

[Chick McGee]

Are they still open? No.

[Tom Griswold]

I bet it'll be better than the one I've got. Well, speaking of food, Christy Lee said you have more food stories.

[Christy Lee]

I do. A restaurant in Spain serves the most expensive and exclusive burger in the world.

[Nick Novicki]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

The burger on the menu at Azador Aupa, Spain.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

Azador Aupa cost $11,000.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I bet it comes with two little boys, a little steep and lube.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God, Tom, that is a dark, dark. Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

11,000. Oh, come on.

[Chick McGee]

You know, people.

[Josh Arnold]

Accuses.

[Pat Godwin]

Not one of us.

[Chick McGee]

People. People were.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Chum bucket. Strike one. Now you get little boys with their.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, come on. You know, you hear world's most expensive burger, you all think pedophilia, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Don't give me that look.

[Chick McGee]

Don't act like you're not on the same page.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, you know, you hear the name of the restaurant, you think. You think, okay, there's some kinky sex going on.

[Christy Lee]

It can also only be experienced by those invited by the restaurant. While the ingredients remain a secret, the burger's price point.

[Tom Griswold]

Saw you on the streets reading Sodomy Weekly. Here's your invite.

[Josh Arnold]

This is alarming. Though the ingredients remain a secret.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's probably.

[Josh Arnold]

It's homeless.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Human being.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Christy Lee]

It's reportedly derived from its quality ingredients as well as the unique dining experience it offers. The burger reportedly took eight years of research and experimentation to develop. The restaurant stresses the burger does not rely on, quote, extravagant or meaningless ingredients like gold caviar or king crab used only to justify the price and often resulting in ostentatious and empty concoctions.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we had the story of the place that had the real gold.

[Josh Arnold]

Right?

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

And sometimes you. They'll say it's the $10,000 burger and it's a burger with six. Six bottles of Dom Pering. Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

It also says, quote, will only reveal that the blend includes several of the world's finest and most prestigious meats. And its secret sauce contains an unconventional ingredient exclusive to a select few and of great value.

[Tom Griswold]

Again, we get the stop.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe a Kardashian pap smear.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, the value meal is still an extra thousand if you want fries. This place is really takes itself.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. Reservations are not possible. But if you think you should be on the list, you can request it.

[Tom Griswold]

It has notes of.

[Christy Lee]

And the request will be processed.

[Chick McGee]

Don't. Don't. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Notes of orphan.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

I don't get it.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, the taste of orphan.

[Josh Arnold]

So just the rich. The richest people who have had everything in their lives now have to feast on orphan.

[Tom Griswold]

Seems a little excessive. Although this is what people from California when they say. You ever had an In N Out burger? They should be $11,000. They're so good. Oh, they're good. Oh, they are good.

[Christy Lee]

Very good.

[Tom Griswold]

They're very good.

[Josh Arnold]

They got a lot of good burgers. I mean don't. But 11,000. No thanks. Like a naked supermodel. Should have to baby bird that into.

[Chick McGee]

Your mouth for $11,000 and not with her mouth.

[Nick Novicki]

Mouth.

[Chick McGee]

Am I right? Yeah. There you go.

[Tom Griswold]

And your hand and your hand should be free to probe.

[Josh Arnold]

Man. I'll stick with a Quarter Pounder with cheese. Pretty good. Yeah, Real, real good.

[Tom Griswold]

And we got the burgers down here in the United States of America. We don't need an eleven thousand dollar hamburger.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance News just back from her trip to England. Did you have any good food in England?

[Christy Lee]

Well, it was England, Tom. We all know.

[Chick McGee]

I did have sticky toffee pudding and mushy peas.

[Christy Lee]

I did not eat the mushy peas. Oh, you gotta mushy peas look like guacamole.

[Chick McGee]

Well, they're. But they're peas.

[Tom Griswold]

They're not without all the. With all. Without all the great flavor.

[Christy Lee]

Exactly.

[Pat Godwin]

Are they seasoned in any way or.

[Chick McGee]

Just mushy peasy peas?

[Christy Lee]

York. I had Yorkshire pudding that was pretty good, actually. But it's not pudding at all.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a bread. Right.

[Christy Lee]

It's like a pastry.

[Josh Arnold]

It's delicious. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We have actually pudding coming up in the news. We do what Americans call pudding. And we have of all random things you mentioned mush. We have a weird story about scrapple. Not the game Scrabble, but scrapple. Pat, you know what scrapple is?

[Pat Godwin]

Yes, From Philly.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. It's a Pennsylvania thing.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd never heard of it.

[Christy Lee]

You've never heard of scrapple.

[Tom Griswold]

But there's a. There was a scrapple competition and we have a photograph of the. The. Of the winning scrapple. It's like hash, essentially. Right?

[Pat Godwin]

Absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, real quick before the break. Do you know what the number one dish in England is in London?

[Josh Arnold]

The London broil.

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Fish and chips.

[Tom Griswold]

Wimpy's. Wimpy's hamburger.

[Christy Lee]

Chicken tiki marsala.

[Josh Arnold]

There is a reason for that.

[Christy Lee]

There's. I mean it. The Indian restaurants there are out of this world.

[Nick Novicki]

World.

[Christy Lee]

It was really good. That was my favorite meal.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Great.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. But I was surprised to hear that I did not know because you think of, you know, Yorkshire pudding or shepherd's pie or, you know, the English aren't.

[Tom Griswold]

Known for great food.

[Christy Lee]

No, they're not.

[Tom Griswold]

That's why all the great food there is from.

[Christy Lee]

From other places.

[Tom Griswold]

Other places.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Great Chinese food.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's all coming up. Not to mention comedian Nick Novicki will be joining. We look forward to talking with Nick once again. From the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios, this is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Thanks for listening to the Bob and Tom show this morning. Even though we're not too much to look at, you can also watch the show on our YouTube channel. We are the musers on the pod. So far we've discussed people we love.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't tell you guys. Cuban emailed. What are you wearing?

[Chick McGee]

Well, no, that's not. Things we love.

[Tom Griswold]

Got way into typewriters.

[Chick McGee]

How many typewriters letters do you own?

[Tom Griswold]

Let's not podcast anymore.

[Chick McGee]

Guesstimate.

[Tom Griswold]

It's time to get really down and dirty.

[Chick McGee]

These are great ideas. Start a podcast and forget to promote it on social media. So what is our podcast about? Yeah, whatever we feel like the musers. The podcast. Follow and listen on your favorite platform.

[Tom Griswold]

On their new tour.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the Bob and Top show where the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. At the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godfrey.

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

There's Jeff Oskay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

He's at the IH. Steven Singer, Sidekick, Chair. There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee and Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a special guest joining us the studio. It's comedian Nick Novicki, a comedian, slash filmmaker, judge of other films, etc. Etc. He's part of the Heartland Film Festival and they've just released a bunch of short films called you tell me, Nick, what do they call them?

[Nick Novicki]

Yes. So I'm the founder of the Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. It's a five day filmmaking competition where you have to have somebody with a disability in front of or behind the camera. We screen the finalists and the winners at the Heartland Film Festival. So an incredible opportunity for people to see these great films. And people from all over the country came in and so we're still doing meetup events and they're streaming on heartlandfilm.org that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Talk about one of the films. Which one did you do? You probably liked them all.

[Nick Novicki]

Which was your favorite? I always say, look, I'm not a judge, so if you didn't win, don't come after me. But I have their emails, you know, I have their home addresses. So if somebody's mad, you can dox them. We can send somebody with a disability that's angry right to their house. I. There's so many good this year. So there's a different genre every year. Thriller and suspense was the genre for this year.

[Tom Griswold]

Cool.

[Nick Novicki]

So, you know, you're really seeing so many different. And the one, the movie that wins the best actor, it's called Day 21. And it's a world where the only people left have down syndrome. And so they're, you know, going around and you know, like grocery store, where is everybody? And it's, you know, the actor who has down syndrome, Dashiell, came here from California. He did an incredible job. We're at the Q and A last night. And I'm a comedian. This is what I do for a living all over the world. We couldn't get him off the mic. He was killing it. I mean, he was on there telling his life story. I was like, this guy's gotta run for office.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you been in one of these?

[Nick Novicki]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Prior to this?

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Nick Novicki]

So no, no, no, no. So I'm the founder of. I can't be in any of the films because if I win, there you know, we'd have people flipping wheelchairs. You know, they'd be upset. So there'd be too much insider baseball. So I, you know, I've been lucky in my career. I've been in 50 TV shows and movies. I've got to tour all over the world. I tour with Nate Bargazzi, you know, on his tour. But I've always been making my own stuff because, look, I'm 3 foot 10. So, you know, I was like, if I want to be the gangster, the romantic lead, I got to make it myself. And that ultimately allowed me to get these opportunities because I did make myself a gangster. And that helped me get an arc on Boardwalk Empire to get to work with Martin Scorsese. So with the Easterseals disability film challenge, the films don't have to be about disability. It allows people with disability to showcase their disabilities. How they want to be seen in funny ways and cool ways this year in kind of crazy ways. Because this is thriller and suspense. So some of them are really like borderline horror or some of them are really funny or touching is. It's really amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

Was Halloween a big deal?

[Chick McGee]

You mean the movie or the. The holiday?

[Tom Griswold]

No, the event.

[Nick Novicki]

I mean, it still is. And I'm in trouble, you know, I.

[Tom Griswold]

You said you're 3 foot 10.

[Nick Novicki]

I'm 3 foot 10. So, you know, the costume, I gotta. I gotta show my face. Otherwise, you know, I'm getting candy myself, you know, So I just was wondering. Halloween. Halloween's a good time. I'm a fan, you know, so I'm a dad. So now I'm getting, you know, I'm seeing Halloween through a whole new way.

[Josh Arnold]

That's so cool.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You have two.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. So this year we had our second second daughter. And Wonderful was so excited about that. And, you know, the. We had a hard time coming up with a name too, because. For our second daughter. Because, you know, my wife has an unusual name. Her name is Teal. She was named after the teal winged duck. Me, I have a normal name. My name is Nick. I was named after Saint Nick. As if my parents would know I'd end up in nine Christmas movies.

[Tom Griswold]

What'd you come up with?

[Nick Novicki]

We ended up calling her Rose, so. Which is. You know, we love that name. I love. Some people found out the real truth. We have a French bulldog named Rosie, and we really like that name. So we were like, you know what?

[Josh Arnold]

What?

[Nick Novicki]

Let's just keep it in the family.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's so funny you'd mention that. I think that happens More often than not, where someone. A couple will have a dog, and then they realized, well, we wasted the name we wanted on the dog. I know. I. I experienced that at one point. What? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You wanted to name one of your kids after a dog?

[Tom Griswold]

No, we wanted to name one of our kids Mac.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, like the nun knife.

[Tom Griswold]

But.

[Josh Arnold]

Or the truck.

[Nick Novicki]

But we.

[Tom Griswold]

At the time, we had a dog named Mac, so we didn't. I. You just did a slight variation. You want to talk to a little boy Mac or doggy Mac. When the phone rings at your place, you gotta.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Rosa. Rosie.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Human or canine?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they're very good. Very good. Well, we're talking with a comedian, Nick Novicki.

[Chick McGee]

We got a very good.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Josh Arnold]

Daddy approves.

[Chick McGee]

There's a stale. In lieu of a laugh, I'll give.

[Tom Griswold]

You a very good.

[Chick McGee]

Eat up, kids. You earned it.

[Tom Griswold]

Can we take the stale Fig Newtons and nuke them?

[Chick McGee]

Shove them up your.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we can probably find something.

[Chick McGee]

We've got pecan pie, ice cream in there. We got a bunch of. I think we have a bunch of ice cream in there.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Once again, Nick, I purchased online. They're hard to find at the grocery store. The Fig Newman's from the great Paul Newman's Food Company. And they appear to be stale.

[Josh Arnold]

And a lot of companies for us.

[Tom Griswold]

I deliberately bought six cases of these things, and I brought four of them in here, and I have two at home. But when I was leaving this morning, I grabbed one and it was kind of stale.

[Chick McGee]

So you said, hey, those less than human people I work with.

[Tom Griswold]

Newton. The last time I bought him, I brought them all in here.

[Josh Arnold]

So we don't remember that, do we?

[Chick McGee]

No. I don't know who ate.

[Pat Godwin]

I don't think it happened.

[Chick McGee]

Somebody loved stale Newton's, I guess.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, somebody ate all of them, huh?

[Josh Arnold]

So had you tried your Newton this morning? It tasted delicious. How many boxes of Newtons would we have? That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd already put four of them in my car.

[Josh Arnold]

I think he's lying.

[Tom Griswold]

Put him in there last night. This is what it's like, Nick, working.

[Nick Novicki]

Hey, you know what? I like Fig Newtons. You know, I'm gonna eat a nice. You know, stale or not. Why not?

[Christy Lee]

When you eat a fig, do you eat the skin?

[Nick Novicki]

What?

[Christy Lee]

When you eat figs, you eat the skin.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

They're like, is it like a date? You just put it in there and.

[Christy Lee]

All right. Salad recently, and I didn't know if I'm supposed to eat the skin or Not. I never had that one.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, yes, you do. Okay, now let's go over. Oh, we were talking about the world's most expensive hamburger.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, we were.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. We'll never forget that.

[Christy Lee]

No, we won't.

[Tom Griswold]

A lot of pushback today.

[Chick McGee]

I wonder why.

[Josh Arnold]

Eleven grand.

[Tom Griswold]

I found the story you were referencing where sometimes when they do that, it's a scam. It'll be a hamburger with, you know, the most expensive champagne or something.

[Nick Novicki]

Thing.

[Tom Griswold]

There was a place called the Ainsworth that created something called food. God. 24 karat Gold Buffalo wings. They were plated in gold.

[Josh Arnold]

I see.

[Tom Griswold]

And they were 10 wings for $30. But it also comes with a thousand dollar thing of champagne.

[Josh Arnold]

Ah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So that's.

[Christy Lee]

Can you eat gold plate? That doesn't sound good.

[Chick McGee]

I think you can.

[Josh Arnold]

You can eat gold flake.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I think Japan.

[Pat Godwin]

Remember Goldschlager that had pieces of gold?

[Tom Griswold]

Do you pan for it on the way out?

[Nick Novicki]

You start taking all the dishes with you. You're like, I'm taking these.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't Donnie Baker crap a promise ring?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I think he might have.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, we're hanging out with comedian Nick Novicki, who is. Has created the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge. And once again, you can view these.

[Christy Lee]

Philadelphia will play host to an unusual contest that judges locals on their best sculpture made from a food known as scrapple. Scrapple is a traditional mush of fried pork scraps and trimmings that was popular among the German families who settled in Eastern Pennsylvania in the colonial period and remains a local delicacy. The Scrapple and Apple Festival features a contest wherein participants try to form a block of meat mush into a recognizable sculpture in just 90 minutes. This year's competition was won by a tattoo artist by the name of Patrick Moses for his Mush Push Philadelphia Eagles tribute.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And I believe we have a photograph of it. Imagine a mountain of cat turds.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it's the color of sand. I mean, it looks like you guys.

[Chick McGee]

Know what the tush push is, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Quarterback sneak.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know, they ran it four times in a row.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, geez.

[Chick McGee]

When they played the Giants. 4. Four of those in a row.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And you think it. I. Your thoughts that should be illegal.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, I think everybody agrees it should be illegal. I don't know why. It's not that along with God, when? Two games on Monday night.

[Tom Griswold]

You're from that area. Is that what this looks like?

[Pat Godwin]

That's exactly what it looks like.

[Josh Arnold]

Pretty tasty.

[Pat Godwin]

You know, my circle, we didn't really eat that. That much, but I saw it around a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

I never had it, so it's really ground up. I thought it was more like a hash. I didn't realize. It's.

[Chick McGee]

It's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's really grounded, as you said, Josh. It looks just like sand.

[Josh Arnold]

It looks like. What would. What would go in. Sausage in the casing.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, well.

[Josh Arnold]

And you can see the football players kind of there, you know, doing the kind of.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you can. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Helmets and.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, there they are. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So is it called mush or. Mush?

[Christy Lee]

If you tell me, it's actually mush, but. But I. It wouldn't rhyme with push if I'd have said mush. Hush. Mush push.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's better.

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds like the mush push. Sounds like when you have erectile dysfunction.

[Josh Arnold]

I had to give her the old mush push. I mean, we got it done, but.

[Chick McGee]

The whole damn thing.

[Tom Griswold]

I needed a popsicle stick and duct tape to get that thing.

[Chick McGee]

Is that. Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what else is coming up, Christy?

[Christy Lee]

Coming up, we have post orgasmic illness syndrome. We have. Why are Germans eating pudding with a fork work? And did you guys talk about the dock worker who got in trouble for putting a penis in a sandwich?

[Josh Arnold]

Putting a penis in a sandwich 6 inch or foot long.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if I want to live in a country where that's illegal.

[Josh Arnold]

That's it.

[Tom Griswold]

I've had it. At first I thought you said penis in the sand. And of course, we all remember that song.

[Nick Novicki]

Penis.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Who performed Peter Penis in the sand?

[Josh Arnold]

Walking in the Peter Dragon. That was.

[Tom Griswold]

No footprints in the same.

[Chick McGee]

It's okay. I'll turn my mic on next break.

[Josh Arnold]

It's fine.

[Nick Novicki]

Right now.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold. Hello. He's at the IH. Steven Singer, Sidekick, Chair, Ace Cosby.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick McGee and Tom. We have a special guest joining us in the studio.

[Tom Griswold]

It is actor and comedian Nick Novicki. And Nick is, I can't talk about any of his forthcoming project. They're all top secret. But you are going to be in three major motion pictures next year.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is very cool.

[Nick Novicki]

Pretty wild. I got some exciting things coming up, you know, next year.

[Tom Griswold]

But, but we can't talk about, can't talk about it. But what we can talk about is a project that you started a dozen years ago, the, the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge. And by the way, the, the winners are all being streamed as we [e-mail] what's really interesting is these are films made by and sometimes about, not necessarily folks with a variety of disabilities. But if this applies to you, I want to remind you that you can go to disabilityfilm challenge.com and get a lot of information and then starting in January, you can register and then you'll announce what the genre or topic will be.

[Nick Novicki]

Yes, so we announce in January. Every year it's a different genre. Last year, well, this year was thriller and suspense. So we do year round workshops teaching people how to write, how to do improv, comedy, how to direct, edit, all these different things. And so we actually asked people what genres they're most excited about and that's where we got thriller and suspense. I honestly don't know the genre next year, but I announced that from Sundance Film Festival. And then anyone can register, make a film. And it's crazy because literally we've had people that just made a film and then next thing they know they end up on a TV show and they have literally no experience because exposure from it being seen and just putting themselves out there.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Now speaking, do you get recognized? You've been, you've been in a bunch.

[Nick Novicki]

Of movies and TV shows? I do. I, you know, at times I do, you know, and, and I'll tell you, it's humbling at times. These two guys from Columbia, they came up to me and they didn't really speak that great English. And the first guy was like, hey, can I get a picture with you? And I go, yeah, let's take a picture. Now I'm taking a picture with the first guy and then his friend said, can I get one? And I go, yeah. And I'm feeling good now. I'm excited. I'm mid pose with him and he just turns and he just looks at me and he goes, in my country, you bring good luck. And I was like, oh, this guy didn't even recognize me. I'm just here to bring this guy luck.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Nick Novicki]

But no, no, it, it is, you know, it's, it's, that's what, what, we.

[Chick McGee]

Got to get a picture later. I didn't know the good luck thing.

[Nick Novicki]

It is a good luck. I, I looked it up I said, like, this has got to be crazy. And it is. We do bring good luck. Little people bring good luck in, you know, in some places.

[Christy Lee]

I was like, hey, you bring good laughs and good smiles. Hey, I love that.

[Nick Novicki]

I'll take it. If I'm bringing him luck and I get some of his luck, why not?

[Tom Griswold]

What was your first gift gig? That. That. In the world of acting, what was the first gig that you did?

[Nick Novicki]

So I was on the Sopranos. I was on the Sopranos right out of 22. I was living. I actually used to live with Nate Bargazzi in New York City. So that's where we. Nate and I lived in a living room together. Now I still tour with Nate, and we're like, one of, you know, my best friends who's, you know, the greatest comic and person out there. But I was in a living room and got my first audition for the Sopranos. And actually Nate and I were playing Madden until the middle of the night. And our other roommate was like, nick, you got an audition for the Sopranos? What are you doing not going over your lines? And I ended up booking a role. I played a nightclub manager. There was an episode all about AJ the son. And he's like, going out to nightclubs and partying.

[Chick McGee]

Oh. Buying bottle service.

[Nick Novicki]

And I'm like, hey, Mr. Soprano, you know, hey, you gotta. You know, I go up to him and shake him down a couple times, and he comes in and out.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow, that's great. What other roles over the years that would people recognize you from the most?

[Nick Novicki]

So from that, though, that. That ended up allowing me to be on Boardwalk Empire. So same producer, same writer. So I recurred on Boardwalk Empire. I've been on the Good Doctor, private practice. I play Lego Spider man in Spider man across the Spider verse.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, I've seen it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, a bunch of times.

[Josh Arnold]

We have kids.

[Chick McGee]

Tom, you want to tell him what you thought of the spider verse real quick or you just want to.

[Tom Griswold]

Not for me.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I got a lot of email. Oh, yeah, Mike took. I'm with you. Took the kids.

[Nick Novicki]

It's. It's a crazy. You know, because I play the Lego Spider man and I just did, like, something during it where I go, beep, beep, beep, beep. You know, I'm doing, like these little voices with this thing, and it ended up. You know, people would just do that to me randomly when they find out I'm in it. Like, you just walk around, so it was neat. And I'm on Tom Segura Has a new Netflix show this year out called Bad Thoughts, and I'm, I'm in that in two episodes, but three major motion.

[Tom Griswold]

Pictures you can't talk about. Yeah, we'll look forward to seeing him. How old is your older daughter?

[Nick Novicki]

My older daughter is 4, so I have a 4 year old and I also have the baby. So we're also going to the doctor's lot now. We're in the doctor's office all the time, and we had a fun moment. The doctor came in and she looks at the baby and she was like, oh, my God, look at that cute little munchkin. She goes, whoops. Was that okay to say? I was like, it was.

[Chick McGee]

Sounds like something you do, Tom.

[Nick Novicki]

And then, you know, you made it weird because I wasn't thinking anything. I was just sitting there. And all of a sudden, now that you're bringing this up, I'm like, yeah, you can't say munchkin now. So now every time I go back, you know, she's like, everything good? I'm like, everything's great. And also, I'm never paying my deductible again.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy just went to the Sphere in Vegas, speaking of munchkins, to see wizard of Oz.

[Nick Novicki]

I was want to see that?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, that was pretty cool. Yeah, I highly recommend it. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you be self conscious going to see that, knowing that as you, half the people are going to go, hey, were you in it?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, I don't know if I'd be self conscious, but half the people, I, I, I'm not sure I'd be self conscious, but I would try to get in for free. You know, I'd be like, I, yeah, I would be like, look, I was in this movie, Nick, you know, you're looking old, but not.

[Tom Griswold]

We, we had one of the originals in here many years ago, and I don't know if any are left now.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

What year was that made?

[Christy Lee]

39.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Nick Novicki]

So I, I knew one of the, the last living, you know, little people that, that played it and it's, it's incredible. Those guys are awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you go to the, I want to word this delicately. Little people Conventions.

[Nick Novicki]

Conventions, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I go every year.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it, where do they hold it?

[Nick Novicki]

It's in a different city every year. So it's been in Indianapolis. This year was in San Diego.

[Josh Arnold]

Not Reno. The biggest little city in the world.

[Nick Novicki]

Well, it's funny you say that. That's where little people of America started. It started in 1957. Billy Barty who is my hero? He was a famous little person actor. Sure. He's somebody that, you know, that's my dream, to play him in a movie. I wrote a movie about him.

[Tom Griswold]

He was in everything. He was like the Jack sue of little people.

[Christy Lee]

He was Jack Sue.

[Tom Griswold]

He was the Asian guy in every movie.

[Nick Novicki]

So he started it. And the funny thing is, like, in 1957, he. He was giant at that time, no pun intended, but he was, like, everywhere, just as you said. And he was doing touring with Spike Jones, so that was like the Tonight show of the time. So they went to Reno, and it was run by the mob at the time. And they found out because Billy was hanging out, and he was talking about how they would have barbecues and play baseball together, all the little people. And the guy, the sort of mob boss, owner of the Riverside Hotel, was like, we should throw a convention. So at the time, they, you know, they called it Midgets of America and they. But, you know, and they said the biggest little city. They threw a parade, and Billy Barty, you know, you know, just made it happen, brought everybody together, and it never would have happened and if he, you know, didn't see that vision. And, you know, I met my wife through that and, you know, obviously changed names from that. The Little People of America. But it's just a blast.

[Tom Griswold]

How many. How many attendees are there typically?

[Nick Novicki]

So this year, there was, like, 2500 people. Wow. So it was incredible. I mean, we just took it over. I did a comedy show at it, and it was. It was awesome.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there specific accommodations that they need to alter? Because everyone. A lot of people are going to be small of stature.

[Nick Novicki]

Not. I mean, there'll be step stools, so we. I mean, they. We. They got to get a couple extra stools. That's pretty much the one thing the hotel so, you know, to being able to reach stuff and, you know, sticks so that we could reach the elevator buttons. But other than that, you know, it's just game on. We're just having a blast and.

[Josh Arnold]

Awesome.

[Nick Novicki]

You know, there's. There's.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there any, like, internal codes?

[Chick McGee]

You know, sitting here watching you do this, it. It's like watching one of those old western cereals. You know, you're gonna ride your horse off a cliff. You just. You just don't know when it's gonna happen. And there it was.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Are there any, like. Are there pejorative terms for, say, me?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. That we. We have our own little secret codes.

[Chick McGee]

You know, and he can't tell you because they're secret?

[Nick Novicki]

Nah, we, we, we just, it's open to anybody. But there is definitely like a culture where it's, we're all hanging out. And I remember I did a comedy show once, you know, at the same time I was doing stand up on a week at a comedy club in one of the cities and one of the comics came and Ryan Mervis is his name. He was one of the Vikings in the Capital One commercials. 6 foot 8, 3 8. So pretty much at all times we knew where Ryan was. Somebody's like, where's Ryan? I was like, I think he's right there now.

[Tom Griswold]

And I asked you this before and I asked this in the nicest of ways, but you kind of have to be careful the way you dress because as it is, you don't want like you said, the guy from Columbia that picked you up because you're good luck in his country. If you wear like really bright clothes and stuff off is do you have to kind of dress a little more muted so you have a little Gravitas.

[Nick Novicki]

Unless it's St. Patty's Day, it's all fair game. I don't want to be no green.

[Josh Arnold]

Tom was just curious if you're often mistaken.

[Nick Novicki]

We're all good. But I do get the benefit of I can wear kids clothes.

[Tom Griswold]

But I mean, last time we talked.

[Nick Novicki]

About, I mean this is an awesome thing. I mean, I've had like, you know, Calvin Klein suits for like 80 bucks. You know, full suits.

[Tom Griswold]

But didn't you say that somebody has created a line specifically for smaller adults so they don't have to wear geranimals. They can wear quality, classic looking stuff.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, there definitely is, there are designers. I think there needs to be even more people making little people. So if you're out there, there's a market for you. I'm gonna buy your outfit. You make, you create little people clothes. I'm coming for you and getting that outfit.

[Tom Griswold]

But high end stuff.

[Nick Novicki]

But you're also competing against me that is going to get kids clothes. So I'm wearing fancy stuff for discounted price.

[Tom Griswold]

Once again, we're speaking with Nick Novicki who is a very fine stand up comedian and actor. He's also brilliantly, in my, in my opinion, founded the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge. And the, the winning films are currently, and they're by the way, they're all about five minutes in length.

[Nick Novicki]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

So you can watch a bunch of these. They're streaming on aheartlandfilm.org if you are interested in finding out more about it. Disabilityfilm challenge.com and starting in January you can register if you'd like to be part of this. You don't have to have any experience. You just, you know, you've watched a lot of movies, you know what they look like. You could make one regardless of whatever situation you're in.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, that's right. We have first time actors, writers, directors and producers. And we also have Emmy winners and Oscar winners that have taken part in the challenge. You can be a SAG AFTRA actor, but also you could have never done anything. And every year we get people that win and they end up getting seen and discovered by. We're sponsored by all the studios, all the networks. The Casting Society of America shares all the films, producers share the films. So many incredible organizations, including Easter Seals, that is my partner, the nation's largest disability services organization with affiliates all over the country. They share the films, comedians that share the films. And again, it's just making your own film, telling your own story and allowing yourself to be able to be in charge of the joke and, and the narrative.

[Tom Griswold]

And then you'll announce what the theme is gonna. Next year. This year would you say it was horror and.

[Nick Novicki]

Ah, yeah, yeah. This year was thriller and suspense, but next year, who knows? I can be bribed, but I'm not telling you.

[Christy Lee]

How about Christmas?

[Nick Novicki]

It could be.

[Christy Lee]

How about porn?

[Nick Novicki]

That would be a fun.

[Chick McGee]

What about porn? Nobody ever talks about that.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the God. What is the movie called? Is it something like Terror in Tiny Town? Is that the famous.

[Josh Arnold]

That's exactly what it's called.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that the famous western where it was all little people and.

[Nick Novicki]

I've never seen it. I want to see that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah. And they, they ride Shetland ponies and it's a standard cowboy and that's fairly old bad guy.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I want to say in the 40s or 50s. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Turner Classic has it on every now and again. That's where I saw it.

[Nick Novicki]

Well, Billy Barty was in so many just incredible movies that he's in UHF is the camera. I love that he had the great Billy Barty joke too. He would, you know, he's. I went bungee jumping off a curb.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, off a curb.

[Tom Griswold]

1938. Terror and tiny Town.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So is your Billy Barty script getting any action?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, we had some interest in it, so. And a lot of it is really about the founding of little people of America. So dealing with.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you play Billy? Is that true?

[Nick Novicki]

I would play Billy. Billy. That's, that'd be my, you know, I, I, that's my dream. So that'd be a tough one to lose part for. But I, I, I love him so much and what he, he did and, and really what I also love about him is he was in show business his whole life. He started out when he was three years old in vaudeville, supporting his family through the Depression and literally was acting until he died a month before. So it went from silent movies to web series and just loved it.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I don't know if you've heard this or not. Daniel Day Lewis is having his leg shortened.

[Nick Novicki]

I'll go after him. There will be blood.

[Chick McGee]

It's gotta be something.

[Tom Griswold]

Pat, is that song ready in there?

[Pat Godwin]

It's ready.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, good. We're not ready for you. Okay, we'll get to it just in a few minutes. It's quiz time. Ladies and gentlemen, you've heard us talk about annuities here on the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

I sure have.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't know what they were. It's all about retiring and having a steady paycheck in the world we live in now where you don't get that gold watch and the pat in the back and hey, we're going to keep paying you. We liked you so much. Annuities. And the Silac Insurance Company, of course, the annuities expert. So they've developed this quiz and they sent it to me. And it's all about the McGee 3.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

And it involves your dear friend, the great comedian Mr. Bargetze, who I saw a giant billboard of him yesterday.

[Nick Novicki]

By the way.

[Tom Griswold]

He's doing great. He's the best. But this question is, is a. I think it's a pretty good one. I'm very excited about it. It may. I may get the looks I keep getting from you guys. We are coming to you from the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Want to share a letter or comment? Our email is Bob and [e-mail].

[Tom Griswold]

Round.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. There's Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Pat Godwin]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

That song's coming right up.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. There's Jeff Oskay.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, sir.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold.

[Tom Griswold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Our guest is comedian Nick Novicki. Nick is the former roommate of Nate Bargazi. Bargazi and Novicki. Doesn't that sound like one of those legal commercials? Here at Bargazi and Noviki, we will take care of that car accident. And I just saw a big billboard with your friend on it. He's obviously touring with a bunch of great shows. His father, Majestic Magician.

[Nick Novicki]

He's the best.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, I'm gonna ask this in the nicest way. You are a man of. You're 3 foot 10. You're 3 foot 10.

[Chick McGee]

Everyone stand by. Get the kids in the other room.

[Tom Griswold]

In the nicest way. Have you ever, have you ever been asked to be part of a magic trick that was based on your small stature?

[Nick Novicki]

I mean, this is hilarious that you're bringing this up because, you know Nate Bargazzi, one of my best friends who I am very lucky to tour all over the country with regularly on his Big Dumb Eyes tour. His dad, Steven Bargazi, a great magician. We do bits together. So we, we play Vegas multiple times a year. Nate and I and his dad will open and so we do tricks together. I come out and, you know, I don't know magic. I just am an idiot and I just come out and we do, you know, gags together. So Nateland is actually doing a so Nate's company is Nateland, and there is a Nateland cruise where it's going all over the Caribbean. And that's gonna be next year. I believe it is sold out, but I'm gonna be doing bits with his dad on that cruise.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't. That just. That's great. Yeah. Cause Nate's been coming in here for a long time. Time. And I remember when the first time he was in, he was telling us about what a great magician his dad was.

[Nick Novicki]

He really is. I mean, incredible.

[Tom Griswold]

I am a. I am a huge magic fan. And I'm also. I never want to know how any tricks are done. I, I. That. I hate that.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's. It's the worst kind of Spoiler alert.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. I have ADD too, so I forget as it's going, you know, I'm, like, not paying attention, so, like, oh, hey.

[Tom Griswold]

Welcome to the club. You're an ADD central now. We have to. Pat's been working on a song, but he does. It's apparently related to something coming out of you, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Scientists say a compound found in stevia can boost hair growth. According to this study, steviacide a natural time.

[Chick McGee]

What is it? I'm sorry.

[Christy Lee]

Stevia side. A natural sweetener extracted from the stevia plant helps improve how well the hair loss drug minoxidol is absorbed through the skin.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh.

[Christy Lee]

In mice with alpecia, a dissolvable patch containing both steviacide and minoxidil successfully grew new hair. Scientists say the compound quote represents a promising step toward more effective and natural treatments for those of you who suffer hair loss.

[Pat Godwin]

Ha.

[Josh Arnold]

Interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm skeptical.

[Chick McGee]

Of course you are.

[Josh Arnold]

I think you'd have better luck just stapling those mice to your bald head.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

As I've always said, if. If there was a real hair growth product, Jeff Bezos would look like Mo Howard from the Three Stooges.

[Christy Lee]

Likes being bald.

[Chick McGee]

There you go.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No, you. Every head of state would have a big head of hair. They haven't figured it out yet.

[Christy Lee]

Well, this is maybe a step forward.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm. I've been drinking stevia for several years, and so far, nothing.

[Josh Arnold]

You have to take the minoxidil at the same time.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

That.

[Pat Godwin]

I have the jingle all ready to go.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Chick McGee]

Stevia.

[Pat Godwin]

Takes the place of sugar.

[Josh Arnold]

It.

[Pat Godwin]

Sweetens your candy girl and may give you bouncy curls Stevia ba ba ba ba ba make your alopecia ba ba ba ba ba ba Thin and a full head of hair get the girls all Wanting you I just can't believe I'm losing weight and growing hair I just can't believe it's true Stevie is a wonder drug Put it in your coffee mug. Diabetes and me wear through. Oh, come on now. Stevia takes the place of sugar.

[Josh Arnold]

Throw.

[Pat Godwin]

Back your thinning hair get the girls all wanting you Stevia.

[Chick McGee]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Stevie is the only one of the fake sugars. That's natural, right?

[Pat Godwin]

Monk Fruit is also naturally.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, is it Monk fruit? I love that band. Monk Fruit and Sons.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that's Monk. This is Monk Fruit.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry, I was close.

[Chick McGee]

Not really.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy Lee is at the Silac Insurance news desk. Have we missed anything?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Young people have been gathering in German cities to eat pudding with a fork. The so called pudding party trend has seen hundreds of people descending on public parks to ceremoniously eat pudding together.

[Josh Arnold]

Fun.

[Christy Lee]

The origins are reportedly unknown, though it's taken off on social media, of course, and has become a phenomenon throughout Germany and recently even in Manhattan's Central Park.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, it sounds like it means something else.

[Christy Lee]

What does that mean? What do you mean it means something else?

[Tom Griswold]

It sounds. I mean, it's like, hey, I'll tell you, that guy, he's eating pudding with a fork. You know what I'm saying?

[Christy Lee]

It sounds like it's not all there or something.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, I think millennials are just getting lazy. They're like, let's have a pudding party.

[Josh Arnold]

You know?

[Nick Novicki]

They're like, let's do it.

[Tom Griswold]

Ever hear the phrase a petting party?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, what's a petting party?

[Chick McGee]

There are no lights at a petting party.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

Are dogs involved or people like heavy.

[Chick McGee]

Heavy petting the bottle?

[Tom Griswold]

It was like a. Yeah, don't say yes or no.

[Chick McGee]

It's fine. You don't know how conversation works, do you? Yes or no? Is it people petting? Yes. You have this elaborate explanation that you've got.

[Josh Arnold]

So it's a heavy petting. It's touching and making.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, okay.

[Christy Lee]

Is that what you called it in your little.

[Tom Griswold]

No, it's. It's. There's a famous. There's a. There's a famous song where they talk about a petting party. The great song, smoke that Cigarette. You know?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Ever hear that song?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

On this show. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette after your petting party.

[Pat Godwin]

They say petting party twice. It's a chorus.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, speaking of petting and dating, etcetera, we're speaking with Nick Novicki. Is there a. I would assume there are Internet dating sites for almost every sphere of humanity and probably for man and beast. Is there a. For little people? Is there more than one? And have you ever used one?

[Nick Novicki]

You know, I've been with my wife for 10 years, married, and then 15 years together. So luckily I. I'm too old to like, I feel like I missed all the, you know, sites and stuff like that. So I did old school meeting, you know, in person at a little people convention. So. And it was actually a cool story. It was. We almost missed each other. So I was in the lobby. The Grand Central at a little people convention is like the lobby. All little people sort of hang out there. That's like the main area where you go. And my wife was trying to act at the time, so she was there, but really wasn't having a good time. And she was about to leave and she said to my friend, she was like, you know, I was looking for an actor. I didn't really find anybody. And I'm not having a good time. I'm about to leave, but it was nice to meet you. And she starts to leave. And my buddy, a little person was like, you gotta meet Nick. He's an actor, he's a comedian. And literally, if I hadn't been there 20 seconds before, we wouldn't have met each other. Kind of a cool, you know, that's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you perform at the convention?

[Nick Novicki]

Yes. Yeah, I, I do a show. So I had you do a lot.

[Tom Griswold]

Of sort of inside stuff that only that crowd is gonna get.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, yeah, I did say too, at the convention too, because. And it's true, I said this year, you know, if. If you think about it, it's. It's really. A year takes place in five days. Because a lot of times this is the only time we're seeing other little people. So when it comes to playing sports together, the stakes are you need to hit every shot because you're not going to play another game against people your size, you know, for another year. So it's like you miss and you're like, wow, man, that was. That was a tough year, you know, and then the same with David dating, you know, so it's like so all these things. So it's like there's so much pressure on everything. So the stakes are so high.

[Christy Lee]

Is there a lot of fooling around at this thing? Is that what you say?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, of course, of course. I mean, but, you know, it's. It's just, it's a place to, you know, you meet people like yourself and, and so it's awesome. We. We have a good but we did a big comedy show this year. So I, I, you know, it was Nick Novicki and Frank and we had Dustin Nickerson, who's a comedian, he was on it. Brad Williams did the show. So did Mal Hall. Greg Garcia, who's an Emmy winner, created My Name is Earl did it. And it was packed. I mean, it was standing room only, just giant crowd. Actually. It was like oversold out. Little people were trying to get in and they were like not allowing people in. I was like, like, this is crazy.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, it's awesome. Where are multiple dating sites, Tom?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Nick Novicki]

For little people?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

I see. I didn't know that little people meet.

[Josh Arnold]

Date a little dwarf. Dating is in Britain. And yeah, I mean, I hope these.

[Nick Novicki]

Are actually little people versus just a bunch of tall people on there. Like, hey, I'm looking.

[Josh Arnold]

Apparently there are tall people looking, you know, to date.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. So, yeah, you know, I mean, hey, who am I to judge?

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Is that normal?

[Nick Novicki]

You know, I mean, I think, I think it can be, you know, I.

[Christy Lee]

Mean, are there little people at your convention married to.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, I mean, I dated, I dated tall women before my wife, you know, too, so. And you know, I think she also, you know, so I think it's like, you know, I mean, we're 1 in 40,000, so it's pretty common, I think for. Actually most parents are tall that have kids. So most little people are, you know, now the percentage is, when you are little, the percentages go way up, you.

[Christy Lee]

Know, to have little people. Children.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Nick Novicki]

So. But my family's not. My family also is, you know, everyone's getting old now.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

Like I, I went and I, I saw my family and both of my brothers are now bald.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Nick Novicki]

And I feel like as a little person, I deserve this hair.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Hell yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Give him the stevia. We're coming back. This is. Well, we are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Tom Griswold]

He is actor and comedian Nick Novicki and Nick Hails from New Hampshire. New Haven to make you feel right at home. I dug this up. New Haven has officially broken the Guinness World Record for the world's largest pizza party. Just last month.

[Nick Novicki]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't realize this is a big thing. That New Haven is the pizza capital of the world.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. It's amazing. There's Pepe's Pizza. That has been around for 100 years. Sally's. So bar sales. Stool Sports. Or those. You know, Dave, he's always kind of judging pizza places. Number one pizza place is always the top 10. Pizza places are always New Haven. We always have a couple. So there's a lot of pride in pizza in New Haven.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Nick Novicki]

It's really, really good.

[Tom Griswold]

4525 people officially in attendance. And the Guinness people have recognized New Haven as the Pizza World championship champions. So, pizza party.

[Nick Novicki]

Biggest pizza party in the world.

[Tom Griswold]

Salad? Not even invited.

[Nick Novicki]

They should not be allowed. We don't want that. Salad.

[Chick McGee]

Not invited. Not welcome.

[Christy Lee]

Salad with your pizza. No.

[Tom Griswold]

What other foods go with the word party?

[Chick McGee]

Salad. No, it's not salad. Party. Of course it's a party.

[Tom Griswold]

No, wait a second. Admit it. A salad party sounds like a thing Christy and I would attend.

[Nick Novicki]

That's true.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Sadly.

[Tom Griswold]

Party. Now I'd like to go to salad party.

[Christy Lee]

What about a taco party? That sounds fun. Nacho party.

[Tom Griswold]

That. Those all sound fun.

[Josh Arnold]

Lemon party.

[Tom Griswold]

A what?

[Josh Arnold]

Look. Google lemon party.

[Christy Lee]

Maybe not.

[Tom Griswold]

Is this. Is this some.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

It's really remarkable.

[Tom Griswold]

It couldn't be worse than the Dirty Sanchez.

[Josh Arnold]

I think it is worse.

[Tom Griswold]

It is worse. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Now I have to know.

[Christy Lee]

I'm not Googling it. You can have that on your phone.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. I had no idea. Well, let's get back to the SILAC Insurance news desk. Christi Lee's right over there. What's going on?

[Christy Lee]

According to scientists, a rare disorder called post orgasmic illness syndrome can seriously affect mental health and relationships. This is mostly seen in men, by the way. The condition causes fatigue, mood changes, brain fog, and muscle pain for days after ejaculation.

[Josh Arnold]

Man, I wonder what the reason is.

[Christy Lee]

More than 80% of those affected say it's damaged the relationships. 40% report no sexual activity in the past year.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Researchers suspect the cause may be an allergic or autoimmune reaction to semen, hormone imbalances, or even nerve issues.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Though it may also occur in women.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Christy Lee]

I just thought you were tired and fell asleep.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, for the most part, but, yeah. In this case, this is even worse.

[Chick McGee]

Right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but probably still worth it.

[Pat Godwin]

My right arm kills me after orgasm all the way up to the shoulder.

[Chick McGee]

It's not as bad as. Not as bad as a lemon party.

[Nick Novicki]

But we're play through the injury.

[Tom Griswold]

That is.

[Chick McGee]

I. I want you, please, just for me. Look up lemon party right now.

[Josh Arnold]

And click images.

[Chick McGee]

And click. And click images. I don't want to see your face.

[Tom Griswold]

Will it. Will Google even print this?

[Chick McGee]

I don't initially. Initially, it doesn't. Yeah, don't print it. God, no, don't print it. I mean, look for, like, the. What is it called? Urban Underground News. Urban Dictionary. Urban dictionary definition.

[Josh Arnold]

There was a website. Maybe it was lemonparty.com and showed you what it was.

[Chick McGee]

Right. I'm gonna try googling and looking and. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Can you describe it?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no. It can't even be described.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, it's. Why I don't understand.

[Chick McGee]

It's. It's all of it. It's troubling.

[Tom Griswold]

There's no. There's no link between the use of the word lemon that I.

[Chick McGee]

It's a little sad.

[Nick Novicki]

The word lemon kind of sounds like it's like a good, like a bad.

[Chick McGee]

The only thing I can figure is with the way your lips pucker.

[Josh Arnold]

Right. That's exactly what I'm thinking, too, about a lemon. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, so when you.

[Tom Griswold]

When you see something that's disturbing, you.

[Chick McGee]

Go, no, the shape your mouth makes.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Pat a little bit of lemon tree or.

[Chick McGee]

Face of the participants might be wrinkly. Right. That's for sure. Of course.

[Tom Griswold]

Our guest is actor and comedian Nick Novicki. Do you do any accents?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you been in most of your roles? Have you been just asked to be your kind of your normal.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, either myself or, you know, more New York version of myself, I guess, a lot of times. But I have done different, you know, accents over the years.

[Josh Arnold]

Give us your best Asian or black.

[Chick McGee]

Are you thinking? Well, I'm thinking, what are they going to do?

[Nick Novicki]

I'm going to put myself in the lemon territory here.

[Tom Griswold]

And once again, Nick is the founder, I guess you could call him, of the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge. And you can see streaming the winners if you go to heartlandfilm.org this is great. And these films are all about five.

[Nick Novicki]

Minutes, all under five minutes. Some are one minutes, one to five.

[Tom Griswold]

Minutes made by folks that may have a disability.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. So you have to have one person with a disability in front of or behind the camera. But what's so cool is it started out it was primarily actors with disabilities. Now, over the years, because this was our 12th year. A lot of these films are written by, oftentimes directed by and produced by people with disabilities. So it's not just them acting in, but it's them telling their own stories and learning how to create more and put themselves out there more. And it's leading to jobs, which is so cool.

[Tom Griswold]

And by the way, for more information, go to disabilityfilmchallenge.com that's disabilityfilm film challenge.com and maybe you've got someone that you know or maybe you want to get involved in. It sounds like a great thing. Are we. I asked earlier about dating sites Again, you're 3 foot 10.

[Nick Novicki]

Yes, 3 foot 10.

[Tom Griswold]

And what's funny to me right now is you're sitting across from me and I don't notice that you're short of stature, but when you and I went for coffee, I looked to my right. Wait a minute. Well, there you are. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Sorry.

[Pat Godwin]

I'm sorry.

[Chick McGee]

What. What did you do again? You're walking in the hallway, you look to your right where. Where Nick would be.

[Tom Griswold]

He was down there. Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

Well, I told you I do magic with Mr. Bragazzi, so that was that.

[Tom Griswold]

So where I'm going with this is you mentioned that there or someone there, they're websites for dating, etc. Are there bars, like in la, where you live, that are designed just for little people? Is like, oh, everybody's going over to so and so's.

[Nick Novicki]

I mean, that'd be a small market. Yeah, but I mean, I would imagine.

[Tom Griswold]

Because you said, obviously when you have the conventions, everybody's there.

[Nick Novicki]

We, I mean that at a convention, we definitely will take over a hotel bar. And you know, the fun thing too about the conventions are, you know, we don't completely take over the hotel, but there's 2,500 people. And some of these are giant hotels, hotels. So there are little contracts that, you know, you know, airline pilots, stewardess business people that will book, you know, rooms in this hotel and not know that they're booking it during a national little people convention.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Nick Novicki]

So there will be a random pilot in the elevator and there's like 12 little people in this elevator and a pilot, and he's like, what is going on here? We're like.

[Tom Griswold]

I was just curious if there was like a. For example, if you're in la, whatever your favorite football team is, there's going to be a bar that everybody goes to early in the morning to watch the game, if it's on the East Coast. I was just wondering if there was one.

[Nick Novicki]

There isn't one. But I Am looking for investors. So anybody out there wants to throw Nick's bar, Littlest Bar. We, we will put it together.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no, I, I, I don't see expansion possibilities. For that reason, I'm out.

[Nick Novicki]

We're 1 in 40, 000, so you may go under. But it would be fun to have this bar. No, we have, though. There, there, there has been bars. I've always heard too, over the years that there's like a, a village of little people right over here or something. And I'm like, where is this village? I'm 43 years old. Like, where is, you know, I go to it, but I just don't know. I mean, it would be fun, though, to have a little people bar. I've heard about them. I've never seen one. It's like an urban myth. But I feel like it would be cool to have one. I would like shorter stools, so, you know.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you have a special car apparatus?

[Nick Novicki]

So I have pedal extensions. Yeah, so I have pedal extensions for my car. And that's, you know, it's basically just the same pedal, but there's an extension on it so that I can drive.

[Tom Griswold]

So you can't valet park.

[Nick Novicki]

So I can't, I can't. I don't trust it. And actually what happened is, I'll tell you, like, this is, this is a crazy story. True story. That happened. I was at, so there's a national little people convention, which is the big one. And then there's, you know, regionals, so smaller, you know, conventions where, where there's gatherings in this city or that city. So I went to a regional in Pittsburgh and there was a little people family that had this new beautiful minivan. And the girl had a beer at lunch and she's like, I don't want to drive. And I wasn't drinking. So I go, I'll drive. So we're in the parking garage on the fourth floor, and I put the car in reverse and the pedal extension brake falls off.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh.

[Nick Novicki]

So now I'm in a minivan with six little people in, and we are just going backwards. And so the brake pedal's gone, and I just, it's instinct. So now I just start hitting cars and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. I'm trying to slow us down. I hit eight cars.

[Chick McGee]

Eight cars.

[Nick Novicki]

And this little person girl, Their whole family's been saving up for this minivan their whole lives. And I just said, don't worry about it. I know you had that beer. I'll take over. And, you know we get out and, you know, just. It just looks like the whole parking garage was attacked.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, now you got a scene for your movie.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah. So basically, long story short, I don't let valid A's.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

Park my car.

[Christy Lee]

And your insurance went up.

[Nick Novicki]

Well, it wasn't mine, but hers did.

[Tom Griswold]

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah. Kim Telford.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. That's amazing that she had it and kept it in good shape.

[Chick McGee]

I thought it was amazing that it was another Kim. I couldn't believe.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either.

[Pat Godwin]

I forgot about that. About that too. I forgot about it.

[Tom Griswold]

Really is unbelievable.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not that common a name. And you've had four.

[Pat Godwin]

Oh, a lot more than four, not to spill the beans.

[Tom Griswold]

And to think that you had the tattoo removed.

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I got that when I was dating Kim from Miami.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

And that's the first name. You don't have a Korean fetish.

[Pat Godwin]

Well, I do, but.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Who doesn't?

[Christy Lee]

Sure. So you're gonna wear your jacket in tomorrow?

[Pat Godwin]

Yeah, I'll wear it tomorrow.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay, great.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Did it smell?

[Pat Godwin]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Perfect.

[Josh Arnold]

Perfect.

[Christy Lee]

Did you get a picture of you and Kim together, you wearing your jacket just like the old days?

[Pat Godwin]

No, all the football players took a picture. All four of us. I posted that earlier today.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Oh, that's nice. And then me and then Christy this weekend was just getting back from her trip to England for a couple of weeks.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, it was awesome. Scotland, England. York. Where else do we go? Wales. Whole country. It was great.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

I loved Edinburgh. Have you been there?

[Josh Arnold]

Uh huh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Beautiful, beautiful place. Me and Mr. Jameson had a great Time in Edinburgh.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, sure, went in Edinburgh.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Almost rude not to.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we have more news to get to.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, this is kind of sad news out of Hollywood today. I'm sure you heard over the weekend. Diane Keaton passed away at the age of 79. The Oscar winning actress known for her distinctive voice, offbeat style and acclaimed performances in films like Annie hall, the Godfather series, Something's Gotta Give. Keaton was regarded as one of the most influential actresses of her generation.

[Josh Arnold]

Who didn't love her man, right?

[Nick Novicki]

She was great.

[Christy Lee]

Her career spanned more than five decades, earning her an Academy Award, two Golden Globes and a bafta. In recent years she'd appeared in ensemble comedies and continued working as producer and author. A statement from her family Rather called her, quote, a brilliant artist who appreciate who approached life with warmth, wit and independence. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced nor cause of death. Apparently it's rumored that she had fallen ill quite suddenly in the last few months. If you have a chance and you have not seen it, Goldie Hawn's post on Instagram is a tear jerker. It's so sweet.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, they were in First Wives Club.

[Christy Lee]

Together and there was talk of a sequel and the two of them were quite friendly. They had been friends for years and years and years. So it, it's really special if you get a chance.

[Tom Griswold]

And Annie hall remains, pound for pound, one of the funniest movies ever made.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, that's perfect. That is a perfect movie.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it is amazing.

[Christy Lee]

It's one of your favorite movies, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

I just love that movie.

[Christy Lee]

Also from Hollywood, the band known. Well it's actually Las Vegas. The band known as no Doubt is reuniting for residency at. At the Las Vegas Sphere.

[Chick McGee]

I thought that deflated over the weekend. That's what I heard.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. It must have been able to.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Inflate it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they had a patch.

[Christy Lee]

The band will embark on a six show residency in May of 2026, making the band's first run of shows in 14 years. Gwen Stefani will become the first woman to headline the space.

[Chick McGee]

Was. Was there a big call for this or.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't. I. I'm surprised.

[Christy Lee]

October 19th.

[Chick McGee]

Boy, if no doubt get back together.

[Josh Arnold]

That really have money now. So.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I thought the Sphere stuff would. Was a lot longer because it doesn't. It cost a fortune to. They have to retool everything and make.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, six shows doesn't seem like enough, does it?

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah, they just start playing wizard of Oz in the background. You're like, what is going on? No doubt.

[Josh Arnold]

I've surprised the bass player could get off of his shift at Starbucks. Do the.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I think he suggesting that but they told him your job's not going to be waiting for you. Okay, you go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

We can't promise we'll.

[Tom Griswold]

What was their biggest head?

[Chick McGee]

Well, they had about Don't Speak.

[Nick Novicki]

Don't speak. That's in my head. Don't speak.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm just a girl.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That was big spider webs.

[Chick McGee]

And then there was. Yeah, all.

[Nick Novicki]

All your favorite.

[Josh Arnold]

All your favorite four big singles off that first album. And then was I don't remember if Holla Back girl.

[Pat Godwin]

Was that was later, like a second.

[Josh Arnold]

Was that her solo or was that no Doubt? I don't remember but.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, I don't remember either. I know Hollaback.

[Tom Griswold]

The name always like no Doubt man.

[Nick Novicki]

I don't know. We're throwing a lot of hits out now. I'm like, wait a minute. I guess maybe I'm going.

[Chick McGee]

I want to go.

[Nick Novicki]

I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I saw him with. When they first hit the scene. It was. It was a fun concert.

[Christy Lee]

I saw. I saw that too. No Doubt. No Doubt. I saw that.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

California has banned loud commercials on streaming platforms. The bill signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom prohibits commercials from being louder than the primary video content on streaming services starting July 1st. That's 2026.

[Josh Arnold]

Wait. A way to tackle the hard stuff, the tough issues. They have to be that loud so you can hear over the homeless guy outside your window screaming.

[Christy Lee]

Legislation builds on Congress's commercial advertisement loudness mitigation. The calm act, which has applied to broadcast TV stations and cable operators since 2010.

[Josh Arnold]

Sometimes it is obnoxious.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You'll be asleep on the couch all of a sudden. That's technically now ill. Illegal.

[Josh Arnold]

Right.

[Christy Lee]

In California, I mean. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Broadcast.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

As.

[Christy Lee]

As of 2010. That was. I. I was Many, many years ago. I ran master control at a tv. Local TV station.

[Chick McGee]

How many times they call it primary control.

[Christy Lee]

Whatever.

[Chick McGee]

Good lord.

[Christy Lee]

But I was very well aware of the.

[Chick McGee]

So you slept with Philo Farnsworth. We all know the story.

[Christy Lee]

And I would. I would run the control so that. That didn't happen to you at your house.

[Chick McGee]

Well, how about that?

[Christy Lee]

Yes. Was very. I was very conscious.

[Tom Griswold]

You don't want people getting yelled at by toothpaste.

[Josh Arnold]

By God.

[Tom Griswold]

Exactly.

[Nick Novicki]

That is a funny law where you're like, you know, I didn't even think that that should be something. But all of a sudden you're just sitting There and you're like, buy gold. You're like, all right, I needed it.

[Christy Lee]

Meanwhile, can't afford it now.

[Tom Griswold]

If you, if you'd listened, you would have doubled your money in the last couple of years.

[Josh Arnold]

Meanwhile, one of the loudest things on the planet are those warning the emergency broadcast signals on tv. That should be illegal, but the government's behind it.

[Tom Griswold]

But that's all. Isn't that particular sound the worst ever?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

It triggers something, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Anger.

[Tom Griswold]

Another.

[Josh Arnold]

Scares the hell real, man.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you find it annoying when television shows put those trigger warnings?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, you know, oh, at the beginning.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't need it. But if somebody does whatever, if it keeps them from having a bad day, it's fine.

[Tom Griswold]

This, this movie contains people smoking.

[Josh Arnold]

You know. Yeah, I. Not necessary for me.

[Chick McGee]

But you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Now do they have to go back and mark older movies with that?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, they do. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

I've seen plenty of movies where it's this came to us or you know, this movie was made at a different time when certain things were acceptable and they're not that kind of thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Really.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, A lot of Disney movies will do it and.

[Nick Novicki]

Older films, but I say that too. For the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge, I say that the films have to be, you know, things that could air on network tv. So concept wise, that's a good movie. But now network TV people are showing examples where they're swearing and stuff. I'm like, ah, man, I don't know.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, they've. That's complicated though.

[Nick Novicki]

Starting to get kind of a little bit gray. Yeah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there's a. So called Safe harbor after 10 o'.

[Christy Lee]

Clock, 10 to 6.

[Tom Griswold]

The problem is if they show it and it's airing in a central time zone, but it's. They. They've gotten in trouble for that. So that kind of erases that. That's a little too boring and complicated to explain. What curse words can they get away with on?

[Nick Novicki]

You know, I just try to say my, my feeling is if you are able to make your film without swearing or content like that, it opens it up where you're more programmable. In other festivals, F and A. Because, you know, ultimately if you say things then you can screen during the day. Otherwise you gotta be in like a hard comedy block at 10pm on a Saturday versus open it up, you know.

[Josh Arnold]

And you're just worried Nate's gonna call you and yell at you.

[Nick Novicki]

I get the door. With Nate when he could be family friendly and not worry about things, it opens it up. But honestly, through watching Him I, you know, it's huge. You do comedy anywhere. Certain arena shows, you get 20,000 people, there are kids in the front row.

[Josh Arnold]

And algorithms don't go off and all the. Yeah.

[Nick Novicki]

And, and when you could just do your comedy and you don't have to change it and you're just doing your act and it can be for anybody. That's my philosophy, honestly, with the challenge is make the film so that they can stream anywhere. Families can watch it, kids can watch and be part of it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

We're speaking once again with Nick Novicki and again the films are all streaming on heartlandfilm.org and they're very short there. Five left, five minutes or less.

[Nick Novicki]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

So you can check out a bunch of them. And the winner this year.

[Nick Novicki]

So we have five winning films this year. We have a best film, best director, best awareness campaign, best editor, and our best actor. Dashiell is an actor with down syndrome who came out here to Indianapolis for the Heartland Film Festival. His film Day 21. Go check it out.

[Josh Arnold]

Out.

[Nick Novicki]

It's all about what if a world was. Nobody was a left except people with down syndrome. And he's a man with down syndrome who gives an incredible performance. And he actually directed the film too, which I think, you know, is incredible. You got somebody with down syndrome who made a film, not only produced it, stars in it, but directs it. And so check that film out too.

[Tom Griswold]

All right. Right now we're going to check, check out the security at Chick's house and at my house and in this building. We have the cameras right over there.

[Tom Griswold]

I always.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I'm sorry.

[Chick McGee]

She's a kitty cat.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, this is an unfortunate date in history. The worst song the Rolling Stones ever had. That was a hit, Angie released on the stage.

1983. Okay, I'll run this by you. Nick, who starred in the show the A Team, which debuted in 1983.

[Nick Novicki]

Mr. T. That's right.

[Josh Arnold]

The great George Peppard.

[Chick McGee]

Dirk Benedict.

[Josh Arnold]

I love Dirk Benedict. I loved that show as a kid.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And I'm a big fan of the movie that came out with Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson. I think it is colossally entertaining and it's underrated.

[Nick Novicki]

No kidding. You know what was fun, too? At Universal Studios, they would have the cars that you. You could pick up a little bit. It was like, you know, it would weigh like four pounds.

[Chick McGee]

No way.

[Nick Novicki]

They used to have it, I think at Disneyland or. Or Universal. And so I remember being a kid and I'm, you know, little person and a kid and I'm like, I got a shot. I'm like, oh, I'm holding this, like, cardboard truck.

[Josh Arnold]

I love it when a plan comes together.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm surprised they haven't brought that one George Whit brought in that. Brought that back. Back together.

[Christy Lee]

18.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't you just share with us?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

I know that movie.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, as a TV show. Oh, I think it makes sense. Let's see. Happy birthday. Ooh. Lenny Bruce would have been a hundred today. Wow.

[Nick Novicki]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

He kind of got ate up by his demons, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, he got a little obsessed.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, he was also. He was canceled by a judge before.

[Chick McGee]

Well, when you're doing stand up reading court transcripts at the end.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Anywhere to Go started when he got cancelled by a judge instead of the way it should be by.

[Chick McGee]

By society.

[Josh Arnold]

By. By two people on social media.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how it.

[Chick McGee]

That's right.

[Tom Griswold]

One of our favorites, Paul Simon, the not the politician, the. The. The great singer songwriter born in the state in 1941.

[Chick McGee]

When you say Paul Simon, the Senator of the guy in the. I better to clear that right up right now.

[Tom Griswold]

I would honor him with his birthday as well. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys.

[Chick McGee]

Nobody gives a damn.

[Christy Lee]

How old is he?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, he got a nice present yesterday from the Panthers, I believe.

[Chick McGee]

One step closer, baby. That's the only reason to celebrate Jerry's birthday.

[Nick Novicki]

That series on Netflix about the Cowboys is pretty, pretty good. I like like that.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Have you seen the new anti concussion helmets? They. They look like his haircut. Okay, let's move on. Jerry Rice, another NFL greatest wide receiver in NFL history.

[Chick McGee]

Some say.

[Christy Lee]

I can't argue 49er.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, now, do you know who this is? Nancy Kerrigan.

[Nick Novicki]

Ah, I do. I do. Nancy Kerrigan. And actually a very funny thing, Nate Bargazzi, who I tour with. We were on the drive in tour during COVID So we went all over the country and he convinced me that he had never heard of Nancy Kerrigan or Tanya Harding. And he got everybody else that we were around in on the joke that no one had heard of them. And I'm like, come on, it's the greatest story of all time. Like there's a movie about it, a documentary, and so Random Cities. We'd show up and he'd be like, do you know who Tanya Harding is? And they'd be like, no, never heard of her. And I'm like, are you kidding me? And he reveals it during his special, the greatest Average American. I open for him and he cuts to me learning.

[Tom Griswold]

1969. Happy birthday, Nancy Kerry.

[Chick McGee]

Those were the fun controversies. Just trying to break some legs.

[Christy Lee]

Come on.

[Josh Arnold]

What do you want?

[Tom Griswold]

Come on. That predated oj, Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's before all everything went nuts.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The great Sasha Baron Cohen.

[Chick McGee]

He's a damn fine actor.

[Nick Novicki]

He's in something Borat so good.

[Chick McGee]

Escapes me. But he's a serious role. He's a spy, I think. And go ahead and enjoy that.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

It's on Netflix. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

And the best thing that happened on this date in 1965, the Great Band the who record the song My Generation. And where you just were in London, England.

[Chick McGee]

A rare misstep for the who.

[Tom Griswold]

A rare miss.

[Chick McGee]

I don't care for people.

[Tom Griswold]

Try great drumming.

[Josh Arnold]

Try to put us down.

[Chick McGee]
