Key Segments & Highlights

---

1. Cold Open & Classic Parody

[00:45]–[03:57]
The show kicks off with Chick McGee and Christy Lee performing a parody ad for the "Joey Buttafuoco Body Hair Club for Men." The cast throws themselves into character with wild, suggestive riffing and fake testimonials about the virtues of "spray-on body hair." The segment leans into raunchy, over-the-top humor and sets the irreverent tone for the episode.

Notable Quote:

• “That hot little number nearly juiced her jockeys once she got a load of my hairy body.” — Chick McGee as "Joey" ([02:00])

---

2. Tom’s Medical Mishap Saga

[04:00]–[10:10]
Tom Griswold shares candidly about his recent hernia surgery, painting a vivid (and often hilarious) picture of the post-op aftermath, including swelling and discoloration in—shall we say—sensitive areas.

• The team bursts into comedic song with a Prince-inspired “Purple Groin” ([07:14]).
• Chick, Christy, and Josh riff on the indignities of post-surgery care, with repeated callbacks throughout the episode.

Notable Quotes:

• “Things are black and blue down there...from my waist down, there’s a...a lot of black and blue stuff happening.” — Tom Griswold ([06:22])
• “Purple groin, purple groin!” — The Cast in unison ([07:40])

Memorable Moment:

• Chick offers to “relieve” Tom’s swelling by massaging his balls with ice—leading to group outrage, banter, and a “generosity” running joke ([09:46]-[10:04]).

---

3. Sports Recap & Listener Letters

[11:08]–[25:00]
Chick covers the Washington Football Club’s latest defeat and discusses the upcoming NFL schedule. The cast pivots to listener letters:

• New mom Amber thanks the show for helping her “stay tethered to reality” during lonely mornings ([18:15]).
• Listener Jeb shares that his 5-year-old has been singing a show jingle about “Cheetos and porn” at home, leading to mortified parenting moments ([20:57]).
• The crew debates household package deliveries and the never-ending task of breaking down cardboard boxes ([20:34]).
• DIY confessionals: Christy admits she’s not a “DIY girl;” Tom and others complain about filling nail holes and the merits of a “putty knife/spatula” ([23:01]).

Quote Highlight:

• “I didn’t know my adult life would be spent working at a distribution center tearing down boxes.” — Chick McGee ([20:09])

---

4. Pat Godwin Performs: “Sweet Potato Poop”

[25:16]–[26:59]
Pat performs a song about the perils of eating sweet potatoes, inspired by diet changes and resulting trip(s) to the bathroom—a classic example of the show’s penchant for the blue and the bodily.

Notable Lyric:

• “Sweet potato poop...there are root vegetable and good for you, but out of the blue, I’m going number two!” ([26:00])

---

5. Wild & Weird News

[31:16]–[47:00]

• World Records: The cast mocks the pointlessness of certain world records, including a man becoming the oldest person to visit the North Pole at 95 and an 87-year-old woman quitting running.
• Toilet Paper in China: Discussion of government-controlled, pay-per-square toilet paper dispensers ([12:02], [144:00])—cue audience horror.
• Jet Belly: A doctor’s tip on “milking your gas” to relieve mid-flight bloating, leading to a slew of gross-out and travel anecdotes ([147:49], [148:57]).

Quote:

• “[Jet Belly] is the feeling of uncomfortable intestinal gas during a flight. Experts recommend an odd trick to find relief. They call it—farting. Is it farting? I bet it’s farting.” – Chick McGee ([147:59])

---

6. Cast Banter & Running Gags

• Vacation Habits: Poll reveals most Americans ditch diets and budgets on vacation; Tom refuses to ever use room service, to the cast’s disbelief ([89:57]-[93:00]).
• Paranoia About Hotel Hygiene: Mark Summers joins to share his (and Tom's) compulsions regarding public restrooms, toilets, and hotel room coffee makers, adding to the “how gross are people?” theme ([114:46], [150:27]).
• OCD & Rituals: Mark discusses his OCD, therapy journey, and his friendship with fellow OCD-sufferer Howie Mandel ([119:06]–[119:48]).
• Tallest Listener Sweepstakes: Listeners compete (jokingly) to claim the title of “tallest Bob & Tom fan”. One even claims to be 8’3”, to the cast's delight ([72:25]-[73:07]).
• Classic Chickisms: Chick asks if “wool” rhymes with “school” (it doesn’t), leading to a debate mid-ad read and added absurdity ([97:19]-[98:09]).

---

7. Special Guest: Mark Summers

[98:47]–[137:55]

The show’s largest segment features Mark Summers, best known as the host of Nickelodeon's "Double Dare," and a longtime voice in children’s and food game show TV.

Highlights:

• Mark on Hallmark: Shares details about his recent acting gig in “Hanukkah on the Rocks” ([99:11]-[101:00]).
• Behind the Scenes of Double Dare: Explains how he avoided getting messy the first 65 episodes due to undiagnosed OCD, then relented when focus groups demanded it. Shares anecdotes about ridiculous obstacle course challenges and celebrity contestants like Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan ([115:05]–[131:35]).
• OCD Journey: Mark’s frank talk about diagnosis, phobias, and how coping with OCD shaped his life and career ([114:11]–[119:48]).
• Broadcasting Stories: Touches on his early radio days (as “Mark Vaughn”), his aversion to hotel room coffee makers, and foot-pulled bathroom doors, all in the show’s classic confessional style ([151:45]-[152:55]).

Notable Quotes:

• “I had to figure out how tall the average 5-year-old kid was—and the rumor got around the neighborhood that I was putting butcher paper all over the house.” — Mark Summers on OCD and his daughter's birthday ([117:25])
• “We would make 100 pounds of fresh whipped cream every day...as the day sits under those hot lights, it becomes a little rancid...” — Mark Summers on the reality of Double Dare ([130:42])

---

8. Listener Letters, Odd Mailbag, and Riffs

[17:45]–[48:00]
A mini-saga unfolds as listeners write in about everything from hernia woes to baby names, strange showers, and mail mishaps. Tom's holiday job as a bellman yields old-school hotel anecdotes, while the rest of the cast riff on elevator-button phobias, escalator surfing, and the perils of room service coffee makers.

Notable Quotes:

• “I was called up to a room...and this guy goes, ‘can you get me a girl?’...I said, ‘I don’t think we have that service here, sir.’ ‘Who’d you talk to when you got it?’ ... ‘That’s Eddie Sincere.’” — Tom Griswold ([78:47])

---

9. Quickfire Comedy & Musical Bits

• Circus Music Gags: Extended debate about the name of the classic "Entry of the Gladiators" circus march, followed by riffs on circuses and ADD ([45:14]-[46:41], [62:03]-[63:55]).
• Fake Product Ads: Lampooning of home insurance, auto security, Shopify, and sports apps.
• Pat Godwin Songs: Blues about “sweet potato poop,” Prince-like “Purple Groin” jam for Tom’s medical state ([07:14], [25:16]).

[Chick McGee]

It's the Bob and Tom Show. Hey yo, Joey Buttafuoco here, let me talk to. Just use guys for a second. Fellas, you already know that you need and the deep voice and a quick wit to impress the ladies. People always ask me, Joey, how do you attract hot chicks like Amy Fisher? Is it your gold chains? Or maybe that manly scent of your aromatic and intoxicating cologne? And splash on. No, I tell them, listen up. I've got two words for you guys. Body hair. That's what turned me into the chick magnet that I am today. And that's why I started the Joey Buttafuoco and Body Hair Club for Men. Just watch this genuine simulated demonstration. Hi, darling.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, mister.

[Chick McGee]

Say, sweet cakes, do you like hairy men?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I'm not sure. I guess.

[Chick McGee]

Just let me remove my shit.

[Christy Lee]

Oh my God, you animal. You are so hairy and so sexy.

[Chick McGee]

Can you show me your boat, Joey?

[Mark Summers]

I mean, mister, as you can see.

[Chick McGee]

That hot little number nearly juiced her jockeys once she got a load of my hairy body. But Joey, you're asking. I do not have a hairy body. Exactly. And that's why I started the Joey Buttafuoco Body Hair Club for Men. You want to look like me? It's easy. Would you believe that every inch of my beautiful body hair came out of a can? That's right. This authentic looking body hair was sprayed on right from this can. It looks great, doesn't it? And the chicks love it.

[Mark Summers]

Ooh, Joey, can I run my fingers.

[Christy Lee]

Through your hairy chest?

[Chick McGee]

Sure, baby. Gold nuts. You can only get body hair like this from the Joey Bonafuoco Body Hair Club for Men. This spray on body hair is durable, washable and oh, so sexy.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Joey, you are so sexy and so hairy.

[Chick McGee]

Can I see your ponytail? Sure, baby.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, Joey.

[Chick McGee]

Me Tarzan, Eugene Toots.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, Joey, the hair on your buttocks is so thick.

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead, baby, pot it in the middle.

[Christy Lee]

Ow.

[Chick McGee]

The Joey Bonafuko Body Hair Club for Men. So if you want a hairy. Oh yeah. If you want a hairy back, hairy legs and A hairy butt. Or even a hairy Belafonte, if you know what I mean. Check out the Joey Butafuoco. Whoa. Body Hair Club for Men. Our motto, we'll put hair anywhere. Hey, baby, is that a pubic hair on your poop or you just playing with my can? Perfect.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

It'S the Bob and Tom Show. There's Chrissy at the Silac Insurance, Lawrence news desk. There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Hello, Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby's here. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. How are you, buddy?

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

You look like you're moving gingerly.

[Tom Griswold]

I am.

[Chick McGee]

I've got a couple of songs for you from the behind the scenes type that they'd like for you to hear. You've got some ball problems, I've heard.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I wouldn't put it that way. I had some surgery on Monday.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, yes, yes. And there are.

[Tom Griswold]

There are some developments. Swelling and. I'm fine. There we go. Probably. Probably Written right after having hernia surgery.

[Josh Arnold]

That's not the first song played in the new White House Ballroom.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. All right.

[Josh Arnold]

What are we even doing as a country?

[Chick McGee]

Or what about. There you go.

[Christy Lee]

I don't understand how this is a.

[Tom Griswold]

Side effect on the cake. Well, I remember when Chick. Chick was talking about he had some surgery several years ago, and you were black and blue in your upper thigh area.

[Chick McGee]

I fell through the roof and I was black.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's what. That's the one. Sorry. Yeah, yeah, black and blue.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that would make sense. Why his balls would swell right for you.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know. They removed a hernia from your stomach and your testicles.

[Tom Griswold]

It's above the.

[Chick McGee]

It's almost area. While you were being operated on, some enemy of yours burst into the operating room and started beating your testicles. I didn't do that. If you're.

[Tom Griswold]

But if you're wondering, I just have to be moving gingerly.

[Chick McGee]

All right?

[Tom Griswold]

Things are. I'm walking like I'm in the Old West.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I've kind of got to walk bow legging and keep my legs apart.

[Josh Arnold]

Your body's been through a lot, okay?

[Chick McGee]

It's bow legged. Not. Not bow legged.

[Tom Griswold]

Bow legged. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

No, bow legged.

[Tom Griswold]

I just said bow legged.

[Chick McGee]

He said, bowling it again. I give up.

[Tom Griswold]

In any event, yes, I'm a little bit of discomfort, but I'm okay.

[Chick McGee]

And here's. Here's Bill Belichick talking about Tom's testicles.

[Tom Griswold]

No knowledge of Tom's balls whatsoever. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Zero. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Coach Belichick. Yeah. Things are black and blue down there.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, they.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. From, like, my waist down. There's a. Oh, a lot of black and blue stuff happening there. And I understand. Pat, you've written a song about me.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I feel. I feel for you. Oh, well, this is that, right.

[Chick McGee]

And do you notice Pat and his boyfriend Tom, they're wearing same color shirts again.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my gosh. Do you call each other ahead?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. No, not on this one. No. You just roll over and go, honey, what shirt are you wearing?

[Tom Griswold]

Consult.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, of course. Yeah. People gather around and show a little sympathy for our fearless leader. Just had a little surgery. You know who I'm talking about. Tom had a hernia procedure.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

And he's in a lot of pain.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

That whole area is discolored. Bruises on his stomach all the way to his loins. Purple groin, purple groin. Come on, everybody got around.

[Josh Arnold]

Purple groin, purple groin. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I'll take it from here on in. Okay. The color of a rare top sirloin. This looks like an eggplant. He's got a purple coin. Thank you very much. Good night.

[Tom Griswold]

It's interestingly enough, without getting too graphic.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, Well, I don't think it's probably too late for that.

[Tom Griswold]

Half of His Majesty is purple.

[Josh Arnold]

Weird. Now down the middle.

[Tom Griswold]

No, halfway up.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

You know, the more I think about.

[Christy Lee]

This, that has to be a look.

[Chick McGee]

I'm with Christy. I don't know why you're. I need a doctor to talk. Tell me how your testicles got purple from working on your stomach.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It's not your stomach. It's the wall between your. In your groin area. That wall in there. How long they put a mesh in there?

[Chick McGee]

How low down? I understand what they did.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll stand up and show above pubes. I barely.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

At least we're not here.

[Josh Arnold]

He showed me this before. So now you get to.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I did.

[Christy Lee]

He showed you.

[Tom Griswold]

This is where it.

[Josh Arnold]

Show me his purple wang.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that didn't happen. I didn't notice that till yesterday afternoon because I got to shower yesterday. God, that was glorious.

[Chick McGee]

Would you like.

[Tom Griswold]

I took two showers.

[Chick McGee]

Would you like me to put you so dirty.

[Josh Arnold]

Why not just one longer shower.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, right. You got to get out, get back in fall.

[Tom Griswold]

You could trip. I'm not sure what this means. And this. This. I might need to talk to a psychiatrist about this. I have always loved showers. Never particularly like baths, but I will. I'll take some days. I'll take three, four showers. Well, and Then I, you know, if I go to the gym and. Well, sure, but yesterday I took a shower in the middle of the day.

[Chick McGee]

I bet you're a noisy shower because you're. You're a noisy yawner. You're a noisy sneezer.

[Tom Griswold]

There may be some nose blowing.

[Chick McGee]

And when you're. When you're showering, a lot of. Oh, yeah, a lot of that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Today, certainly. That's it. It.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's it. That's what I like.

[Tom Griswold]

Would you like.

[Chick McGee]

Would you like one of us to put ice in our mouths and massage your balls with our mouths?

[Tom Griswold]

No need to be vulgar.

[Chick McGee]

I'm not being.

[Josh Arnold]

That was very generous.

[Chick McGee]

I'm trying. I'm trying to bring you some relief.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I'm. I'm fine.

[Josh Arnold]

That would be considered extraordinarily generous.

[Christy Lee]

Yes. I don't know if I do that for my husband.

[Chick McGee]

How much farther would you think Tom would let us go if we'd had hernia surgery and we had been talking about our balls for four days? No, he would have made us if you guys would. If he would stop complaining about his testicles. My God.

[Josh Arnold]

Ever since he got that surgery, he's been useless.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know why.

[Josh Arnold]

Nothing out of him for the last three.

[Chick McGee]

Take a month off.

[Tom Griswold]

We'll move forward. We have other topics to get to today. Coming up, we have in studio guests will be joined by Mark Summers, one.

[Josh Arnold]

Of our favorite persons.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. A guy who has been on. He's been on television for what, 40 years?

[Chick McGee]

Took it on the chin last night. Lost our starting running back, maybe a defensive lineman. We had quite the evening. I'm just sitting here right now trying to figure out how I'm not going to kill Christie's husband. That's my only problem.

[Tom Griswold]

He's a Green Bay Packer fan.

[Chick McGee]

What's the charity?

[Tom Griswold]

Is it up like many, many stories with a balcony I can jump off of?

[Christy Lee]

That's kind of what I thought you would say. It's for a children's hospital.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, very nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they sell shoes at the event?

[Christy Lee]

I've never been to this event. I'm very much looking forward to it. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Women in shoes. Okay. Well, you look lovely. Thank you. Really do. Now, none of us are really dressed up today, but.

[Christy Lee]

No, you're no.

[Josh Arnold]

The rest in sort of our normal.

[Tom Griswold]

Typical clean, nice chick. Has a nice coat on.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's a over shirt, but it's very nice. It's a shacket, Tom. Are you aware of the shack shirt Jack?

[Tom Griswold]

A shacket?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. There was the shirt Jack.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't think he cares.

[Chick McGee]

I had no idea he'd react this way.

[Tom Griswold]

A portmanteau. Whatever the hell they all those.

[Chick McGee]

It's a shirt jacket. It's a shack.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. All right.

[Chick McGee]

You should. You should invest in some jackets.

[Tom Griswold]

That's okay.

[Chick McGee]

They keep you warm.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's time now to invest in our listeners and their. Their letters.

[Chick McGee]

Email from listeners brought to you by Hyundai, sponsored by the all new Hyundai Palisade hybrid. Learn how it's so much more than just another [e-mail]. what do you have over there?

[Tom Griswold]

I got two of them that kind of go together.

[Chick McGee]

Bruised balls.

[Tom Griswold]

Yesterday we had a guest in the studio, comedian Lee Kimbrell. And he's gonna be a dad here just down the road. A month or two.

[Christy Lee]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's gonna be a big change for him. He's has no children and he's about to be a father. So a lot of work. We talked about that quite a bit. And it looks like he'll be a good dad. He seems like a very nice guy. But I've got this, a really nice letter. This comes to us from a new mom. She goes, my name is Amber and my husband and I welcomed a son about five months ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Wow.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm currently a stay at home mom. My husband is a welder. He works a ton of hours with the local union. The transition to motherhood and leaving the workforce was an adjustment, to say the least. Some days can be lonely and exhausting. I love my son, but I wouldn't exactly call baby talk the strongest form of socialization.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I bet.

[Chick McGee]

Mooby dooby doo.

[Tom Griswold]

First thing I do in the morning is turn on my little Panasonic radio. Then she puts a parentheses. I'm 29 years old and yes, I.

[Chick McGee]

Actually have a Radio Panasonic just slightly ahead of our time.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember that? Yes, it's in the kitchen. I listen to your show. My husband listens on his way to work. I just want to say thank you for the entertainment, comedy and upkeep on current events. You keep me tethered to reality and Help maintain my sanity on tough days.

[Chick McGee]

Now, I think it's Tom's reality. It's not really.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is much better than reality, I guess, these days. She goes, luckily, my son doesn't understand what's being said yet, but I don't plan to stop listening anytime soon. Well, thank you, Amber. We certainly appreciate your listening. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

And I bet you're doing a terrific job.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And your husband's working hard making money for you and the baby and himself, too. Does he get an allowance? We need to find out more about him.

[Chick McGee]

Do we have a baby name on that? Did she give us his name?

[Christy Lee]

No, but do you get an allowance?

[Tom Griswold]

Pardon me? Are you on a budget?

[Christy Lee]

Are you on a budget?

[Tom Griswold]

What time is it? I think your event's starting, Christy.

[Chick McGee]

Hang on. I have a question for Christy. What are you trying to do? I just. I. You've succeeded. Congratulations. Go ahead.

[Tom Griswold]

Tom, do you ever have this thing happen? Like, does your husband get a lot of packages at the house?

[Christy Lee]

Not as many as I do.

[Chick McGee]

I think we all get a lot of packages at our house. I didn't know my adult life would be spent working at a distribution center tearing down boxes.

[Christy Lee]

That's probably how Andy feels.

[Chick McGee]

Good. God. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I get, like, one box every couple of weeks. There'll be something. I just got some new flash things for my bike.

[Chick McGee]

Flash?

[Christy Lee]

Flash things?

[Tom Griswold]

You know, flashers. You know. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Strobe lights.

[Tom Griswold]

Strobe lights. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Strobe lights.

[Tom Griswold]

But it's always like, oh, no, but I'm buying something. Yeah, but, you know, I. Needless to say, like, chick, I'm otherwise breaking down somebody else's cardboard boxes.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Never mind. I'm sorry.

[Chick McGee]

I don't want to.

[Tom Griswold]

I received this letter from Jeb, which. You'll see how this applies to the previous letter in just a moment.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Jeb.

[Tom Griswold]

I got this text from my current ex.

[Christy Lee]

My current ex. Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Which is. Yeah, that's an odd phrase.

[Christy Lee]

You must have a lot of them.

[Tom Griswold]

It was about. They apparently have a child together.

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was because my 5 year old was singing something from your show. Oh, no. I have taken the time.

[Chick McGee]

I've got a guess about what it is.

[Tom Griswold]

I have taken the time to grab this. This was being. This is a short song. And so I can see why the little feller would remember it.

[Chick McGee]

The little feller.

[Tom Griswold]

And here's the song in its entirety.

[Mark Summers]

If you want to turn your daddy.

[Chick McGee]

Parts orange, eat some Cheetos and watch some porn.

[Tom Griswold]

There you go. Paul and Storm and their classic tribute to Cheetos and man, I like some Cheetos. Little feller was singing that away, by the way.

[Christy Lee]

Mom didn't like it.

[Tom Griswold]

Jeb continues that hits it. My ex was not happy. I love the name Jeb.

[Josh Arnold]

I do too.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you don't hear it much.

[Josh Arnold]

Jebediah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a great name.

[Chick McGee]

Is it always? Can you just go with Jeb?

[Josh Arnold]

I'm sure, I'm sure you can.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I like Jebediah even more.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm trying to think on the and the Beverly Hill is it was Jed Clampett. J E D. Okay. Yeah. Is there another, Is there a famous Jeb in movies?

[Josh Arnold]

There's Jeb Bush.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

I want to say there's a jab in Oklahoma, but it probably isn't. I don't know why I think great seems like it.

[Tom Griswold]

Now we turn now back to Chick Magee.

[Chick McGee]

Bob and Tom show. I'm not a doctor, but perhaps, Tom, you should have followed instructions from your doctor and stayed home and rested instead of magooing around town. That's Brian in Iowa. Thank you, Brian.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Brian. I've limited my agoing to believe you.

[Josh Arnold]

We have a Tom ism.

[Chick McGee]

You should have taken the entire week off. Go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

Becky says I was prepping for a wall. She works for a design construction type company and she was filling nail holes and could not think of what the putty knife was called. Oh, she says so I asked for the construction spatula.

[Tom Griswold]

I, I, that's perfect.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I love a putty knife. I like, I like mine with a little bend, a little give. I don't get the super stiff ones.

[Chick McGee]

No. Yeah, super stiff ones are dead end. You can't use them.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, they must be used for something.

[Tom Griswold]

But and everyone part of you have it long enough, Christy, and you can kind of look at the history of what you studied.

[Chick McGee]

Oh yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's where this, this is where I was putting Bondo on my car. Yeah. This, this, this, this, this ugly turquoise was that thing I had to paint for my kid. Oh yeah. It's fun. It's like going into a, going into someone's minivan. You get the history of fast food toys.

[Christy Lee]

I am not a DIY girl. I'm sure that surprises nobody.

[Chick McGee]

I, I don't have a putty knife. I kind of am a deep but I can't drywall and I can't feel fill anything with spackle because I don't know when to stop.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I'll smooth it down. I go well and I do it Again. And I do it again. And nine years later, I'm still working on the nail hole. Dear Bob and Tom show. Tom has nothing on me. I recently had hernia surgery. However, my hernia dropped into my testicles.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, man. I've heard.

[Christy Lee]

Gosh.

[Chick McGee]

Really? Five days after my surgery, my sack had swelled to the size of a football.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's awful.

[Chick McGee]

It popped later that day, pouring horrific liquid out.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Chick McGee]

Worst week ever. Following that day, that couldn't have been.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry fun at all. No, I.

[Chick McGee]

You don't have any liquid pour.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, I'm fine. I'm fine.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, speaking of sacks.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

There is a new song by Pat Godwin that's been taking the country by storm about. About you having a pimple.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

But our friend Brad is concerned that that new hit is overshadowing some of your more dignified numbers from the past.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And he would like to get back to the good old, sort of classy.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, the stuff. Yeah. The brainy stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

The thoughtful stuff.

[Chick McGee]

The clever stuff. Yeah. So clever.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you mind. I sent you his request. Would you mind?

[Chick McGee]

Go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

And this is a more.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know, more appropriate. Could be played in. In a formal occasion.

[Chick McGee]

Yes. Aria died, right?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

This is a song about a certain vegetable that has changed. The way that I move. The way that I. Oh, okay. The way that I have my movements, in other words. Oh. I'm on the Mediterranean diet and I.

[Mark Summers]

[Josh Arnold]

[Josh Arnold]

Two girls in a cup.

Two girls.

[Josh Arnold]

Two girls. One cup. You remember it?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I don't remember that one.

[Josh Arnold]

There's no way you guys didn't talk about it.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

I forgot about it. Okay, we have another litter. I'll need your help on this one, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

This comes to us from Greg. He goes, I showered in the morning, but it was a long day, so I showered right before I went to bed. I was really tired. My wife has at least seven different kinds of soap in the shower. It turns out I washed my entire body with Vagisil.

[Christy Lee]

That's just for the mommy parts.

[Tom Griswold]

Is that soap for the mommy parts? Yeah, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

It's a special feminine body wash. Is.

[Tom Griswold]

It a Squirty or a bar?

[Christy Lee]

It's a Squirty.

[Josh Arnold]

It's sort of like a Push Pop.

[Chick McGee]

A Squirty or a bar.

[Tom Griswold]

He goes. He goes. I didn't notice till later, but I slept like a baby. What's in that stuff?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know. I don't think it's.

[Chick McGee]

There's no.

[Christy Lee]

I don't think there's anything special in it.

[Tom Griswold]

Benadryl in?

[Christy Lee]

No. And they don't want it to go to sleep at night.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I know. All I know is they have non drowsy Vagisil.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah, that's important.

[Tom Griswold]

Do they have it with pumice?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, that would hurt.

[Josh Arnold]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's Lava. Remember those old commercials?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you ever get a bar of that stuff?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we had it.

[Tom Griswold]

It's great. For what, taking off a layer of your skin?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. It shouldn't be used on human skin.

[Christy Lee]

My stepfather used that because he was a tool and die maker. So when he came home from work, he'd have that. Lava soap.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I'm not familiar. I've heard of Vagisil.

[Christy Lee]

I didn't know it was for the lady parts.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, so, yeah, you get so open your eyes, you grab the nearest thing, squirt it in your hands and go, well, Greg, I'm glad you're okay. I don't know what's in it.

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure it's.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, if it helps you sleep.

[Christy Lee]

I Would think there may have been.

[Josh Arnold]

An aroma too that.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, maybe.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it more expensive than regular soap?

[Christy Lee]

I'm sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I've never used the product so I don't really know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we know.

[Tom Griswold]

Grim. We are wicked and grim. Follow and listen on your favorite podcast platform coming up.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Top Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Howdy, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, there's Pat Godwin. Hello, Josh Arnold. Hi, Ace Cosby. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chuck McGee. This came up the other day, and I don't remember how it might have been related to the cowboy hat situation that I'm in, but I believe, I think it might have involved a story about adult toys.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And we had a corn cob thing. Yeah. There was a survey involving what places were purchasing the most of what particular toys from some company that distributes this sort of thing.

[Christy Lee]

And one of the categories was monster dildos, which we weren't too familiar with. And Jess looked it up and found the Corn Cob dildo, if you will, complete with suction cup.

[Tom Griswold]

And I was wondering if there was a brand called the Rough Rider.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Got this from Kenneth. He goes, there was a condom brand known as the Rough Rider.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah, I remember that.

[Christy Lee]

I remember those.

[Josh Arnold]

So they go ruff.

[Tom Griswold]

This. This says ru gh, but it was ribbed. Yeah, I use them. He. Apparently they have been discontinued, by the way, on occasion. My wife still calls me Rough Rider. Oh, how about that, Kenneth? Probably a good sign.

[Josh Arnold]

It looks like Teddy Roosevelt.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If she says, hey, Rough Rider, what's up? That's probably some pretty good news.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

It was a great mustache, wasn't it? Teddy Roosevelt's mustache.

[Josh Arnold]

Heck yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Man.

[Chick McGee]

Man, oh man, the old womb broom.

[Tom Griswold]

Who's the last president with a stash boy? Good question.

[Chick McGee]

Eleanor Roosevelt.

[Josh Arnold]

That's good.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean was it, was Teddy the last one?

[Josh Arnold]

He may have been.

[Chick McGee]

I think so. Oh yeah, Wilson Harding.

[Tom Griswold]

Because I mean they're beard. You've got your bearded presidents, you've got your Lincoln, your Grant and the et cetera, et cetera.

[Josh Arnold]

I go so far as to say he might be the last facial haired president, Teddy Roosevelt of any facial hair.

[Chick McGee]

Huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

That's right. I'm going that far.

[Tom Griswold]

I'll bet.

[Christy Lee]

I believe.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see now, hang on, let me think here. Our current vice president has a beard, right?

[Chick McGee]

Yes, he does.

[Tom Griswold]

So I wonder someday down the road if we'll have a bearded president again.

[Josh Arnold]

Probably at some point.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I think they've certainly come back. For example, I don't. It'd be very. You'd be very hard pressed to find a newscaster anchorman with a beard 20 years ago. I can't think of any. Maybe some of the field guys, but.

[Chick McGee]

I think Wolf Blitzer always had a beard.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right. But he was, he was sometimes out in the field and he was. Yeah, that was, that was kind of a brand thing for him.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Interesting Wolf, but is it. Was Teddy the only one with a stash? What a bold move.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And in any event, he of course was a rough Rider.

[Josh Arnold]

And I don't know if we will have a bearded president. We'll have to check with Dwayne Johnson. That's right, John.

[Tom Griswold]

Prediction already.

[Josh Arnold]

That's, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

We might want to save this tape. Yeah, this.

[Josh Arnold]

He would be hard not to vote for. I have seen get out of a hospital bed and flex a cast off his arm. That's who I went for. President.

[Chick McGee]

And he looked at his daughter and said, what?

[Josh Arnold]

Daddy's got to go to work.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. That'll be the campaign speech right there.

[Tom Griswold]

I've been limping around the last week post and I just. That phrase keeps popping in my mind from the movie Roadhouse where you go, pain don't hurt. Yeah, I'd like to beg to differ.

[Chick McGee]

I really do have to get some video going of him walking into the green room. It is really something. He's getting a lot of pain. Yeah, it's it's hard not to walk like you when you see your you are you doing.

[Tom Griswold]

Just got to spread your legs apart. You need room down there in this case. I'm sorry. Do you have any more letters over there?

[Chick McGee]

My balls are so giant. Hello, Bob and Top Show. Dear Chick, I was caught up with the show, so I randomly selected a show from 2023 to listen to while working in my office. During that show, Chick was talking about Columbus, Ohio, and how you missed it. I don't know if I miss it. Josh asked, if you were to have dinner in Columbus anytime, where would you go? And I said, schmidt Sausage House. Oh, in German Village. Which is absolutely true. That caught my attention, says Aaron. I had a state employee conference in Columbus at the Expo center, and we had Schmidt's for lunch. I'd never had it. Their Bahama mama sausage and fat daddy grilled baloney sandwich. Amazing.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Josh Arnold]

Both sound amazing.

[Chick McGee]

It made the second half of the conference very hard to stay awake. Oh, they are. They are nap inducing.

[Tom Griswold]

I have to tell you.

[Chick McGee]

That's great. But the effort to not pass gas next to 800 other people kept me focused. Thank you, Aaron from Toledo. Actually, Perrysburg, Ohio.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, that leads to our next letter. I had mentioned that there was an episode yesterday of epic proportions in my. In my car.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Involving some flatulence. That was otherworldly.

[Chick McGee]

You were parking your car for the night, Correct?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, and I ended up leaving the doors open for another hour. Whoa. I didn't want. I didn't want to get back in the car. I'd have to revisit that. I don't know what it was. I think it's. It must be. Maybe we should ask a professional anesthesiologist. I'm not sure what they put you out with, but maybe that caused this incredible stench. Got this from Tom in Iowa. He goes, in my career, I drive about 40,000 miles a year. I always make sure I get a car with a moon roof. I call it the fart window. In the winter, I can open it up and not freeze and let out the bad air because it has that little tip up.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's. That's a good tip. But there is a hazard with having your moonroof open, Tom. Is that correct? If you decide.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Okay. One time I did it.

[Christy Lee]

One time is more than any of us.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, she's right.

[Tom Griswold]

And. And I'll tell you what, that water was hot.

[Chick McGee]

I bet it was. Oh, were you trying to close it?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I was frantically Closing. It was the sun. The sunroof was open. It was a. My Volvo station wagon.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And of course I wasn't paying attention.

[Chick McGee]

Man, that was a good car.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. On the. The one before that, I had to get three new antennas. I kept. Because that car, you had to press a button. It had an out. It had a aerial type antenna. Whatever. You'd press a button, it would go down and I would forget every time.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And it would snap off. You have to go get a new one.

[Christy Lee]

And how many times have you left your windshield wipers on now because they're on automatic and you get in there and go, ah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm concerned that they'll get caught in those dangly things and get ripped off. No, I'm very careful now.

[Chick McGee]

My, my window, my windows, my mirrors on the side of the car, they fold in like that when you go in. And I always forget and you know, you hear this. Holy hell. What the hell is. Oh, it's my, my. It's my mirrors.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy. The car wash I go to should be called the license plate destroyer. Yeah, the little every time rails.

[Tom Griswold]

The rails.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I guess I'll re bend that into place somehow.

[Chick McGee]

You know what I.

[Christy Lee]

How that happens?

[Chick McGee]

You know what I had to do? Get a license. I ran into the same problem. Get a license plate frame.

[Josh Arnold]

And you know what? It's done.

[Chick McGee]

And it helps.

[Tom Griswold]

It.

[Josh Arnold]

It helped. It has helped a little bit, but it is also bent past the frame.

[Chick McGee]

No kidding.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you get the frame to match your car?

[Chick McGee]

No, I just played it safe and got black. Why?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, that matches your car.

[Christy Lee]

What does that mean?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, you get the frame that has the logo of your car.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I don't like any of that.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't mind that.

[Josh Arnold]

In fact, I don't like the. If I were to ask a dealership the next time I buy a car, hey, I'll pay an extra $500 for you not to put your name anywhere on this thing. Oh, they do it. I hate, I hate stickers. Any of that.

[Chick McGee]

No, I haven't take it off.

[Christy Lee]

I agree.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

There are some dealership that have. It looks like it's part of the car. It looks like it's the trim package that their dealership. It's beautiful. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Chick McGee]

Dear Bob and Tom show. I'm watching the Packer game on Amazon Prime. I'm a Packer fan. They're destroying Washington. That's fine. Thank you, Elise. However, thanks to Christy Lee, Packer game was on Amazon last night. I see penises for the entire game.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, because of the logo.

[Chick McGee]

Christy, do you remember what you said about the Amazon logo?

[Christy Lee]

It looks like a penis.

[Josh Arnold]

That is a stretch to me.

[Tom Griswold]

Where?

[Chick McGee]

Whose penis?

[Christy Lee]

What do you mean, where?

[Josh Arnold]

Where she thinks the arrow. The curved arrow looks like.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, wow. Well, that says a lot about it. I know a lot about Andy.

[Christy Lee]

No, has nothing to do with Andy.

[Tom Griswold]

What's that called?

[Chick McGee]

But you say.

[Tom Griswold]

Interesting.

[Chick McGee]

You see, the. The arrow.

[Tom Griswold]

Brony's is a. Is a sandwich place.

[Christy Lee]

The Arrow is special.

[Chick McGee]

Monty.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. The home of the bench sub.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Wouldn't that be a good. Wouldn't that be a great concept, like a Super bowl ad for a new. A new sub place? Oh, sure. We do a lot of stuff with Jersey mics, but at Paronis, and it shows this guy with this big, bent meatball sandwich.

[Chick McGee]

If you bend, if that never. It never straightens out on that other side.

[Christy Lee]

It doesn't?

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't Peroni's a. That's a Italian beer, right?

[Christy Lee]

Peroni? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Is the sandwich. Is it pierogi? What is the name?

[Chick McGee]

That's the Polish dumpling.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. What is the bent male member called?

[Josh Arnold]

Peroni's disease.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, really?

[Josh Arnold]

Named after a guy, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Seems like it.

[Tom Griswold]

That'd be kind of embarrassing.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. If you wanted an ailment named after you. Oh, like Lou Gehrig's disease or something, what would you go for?

[Christy Lee]

Do they put it in a splint or something to straighten it back out?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know. Scar tissue. So they can break up the scar tissue.

[Chick McGee]

Oddly enough, though, Peroni and Zamboni and Jacuzzi. All related. Childhood friends, of course.

[Josh Arnold]

Isn't that something?

[Tom Griswold]

I think what they do, Christy, is they take a matte knife and they score it on the long. Oh, my God, that just hurt my body.

[Chick McGee]

You think your balls are. You think your balls are hurting after a hernia? We have another version of the Amazon logo if you'd like to take a look.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, there you go.

[Tom Griswold]

That one's really the hair on the ball sack, Right.

[Chick McGee]

And it goes Tom, C. And me, A to Z. They have everything from A to Z.

[Tom Griswold]

That is.

[Christy Lee]

I never knew that until you pointed it out.

[Chick McGee]

It consumes me every time I go to Amazon. Yeah, it's awful.

[Tom Griswold]

A to Z. Okay. Well, thank you very much.

[Chick McGee]

Just like the arrow in the FedEx thing. I can't not see it.

[Tom Griswold]

Now, coming up, we have news from the world of sports.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't shop on Amazon. I shop exclusively at Boutiques.

[Chick McGee]

Keeping the mom and pop in business.

[Josh Arnold]

That same guy that.

[Chick McGee]

Please tell me you have a tv.

[Josh Arnold]

Television.

[Chick McGee]

I think we have a TV around here somewhere.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, coming up, we have Spider man in the news, of all things. Don't go away.

[Chick McGee]

Spider Man. Spider Man.

[Tom Griswold]

We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio Videos. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

This is the Bob and Tom Show. Reach us toll free at 1-888-bobtom1 or@bob and tom.com. this is the Bob and Tom show.

[Tom Griswold]

Here.

[Chick McGee]

Welcome back to the circus. We need some circus music. That's what we're at. What's the name of that song? We all know it. Big Big top, Sweet top bunny Big.

[Christy Lee]

Top, Big top Elephant march.

[Tom Griswold]

This.

[Josh Arnold]

May lead into it.

[Tom Griswold]

I think this is it.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, there it is.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, can you get your thing and find out what the name of it is?

[Mark Summers]

Getting my thing.

[Tom Griswold]

The thing in your phone. What's that called?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, shazam.

[Josh Arnold]

He'd have to put the headphones on his phone.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. And then I have feedback.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe you could go elsewhere in the building.

[Chick McGee]

And then I. I wouldn't start. Day be ruined.

[Tom Griswold]

And I. I assume it's got to.

[Chick McGee]

Be something Big Top or Big Top Bunny. Remember that one? Big Top Bunny. He competes against Bruno the Magnificent.

[Josh Arnold]

I love that.

[Chick McGee]

Bruno the acrobatic bear. He's going to dive 500ft under a block of concrete with my head. Yet there's Christy Lee at the SILAC Insurance news desk. Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Jess Hooker.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick McGee. We're going to check in with the sporting scene. And we'll begin with the unfortunate loss for your favorite team last evening.

[Chick McGee]

The circus music is called Entry of the Gladiators.

[Tom Griswold]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. And then sometimes known as Entrance of the Gladiators and sometimes known as Entrance of the Clowns. But yeah, started as Entry of the Gladiators. Parentheses, Thunder and blazes.

[Chick McGee]

Whoa.

[Christy Lee]

That's intense for circus music.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, intense.

[Chick McGee]

Is there any better opening scene to a movie than in the opening? Gladiators with the dog and they're out there. And. And. And it's all frosty. What is it? On my Unleash hell or something.

[Tom Griswold]

Remember that?

[Chick McGee]

And they go. And they.

[Josh Arnold]

Which movie?

[Chick McGee]

Gladiator.

[Christy Lee]

Gladiator.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I don't remember the beginning of the movie. It's been a while.

[Chick McGee]

You don't remember that? You don't remember two girls One cup. What is wrong with you?

[Tom Griswold]

I didn't see that movie.

[Josh Arnold]

He didn't remember any of the award winners.

[Tom Griswold]

Sorry. Although someone explained to me what that was and I don't want to see that movie. No, no, no.

[Josh Arnold]

He doesn't care for men fighting.

[Christy Lee]

Just a video. We don't want to see it.

[Chick McGee]

Thursday Night Football on Amazon. Which reminds all of us of various Jordan Love through the call him The Love Boat. 292 yards, two touchdowns. The packers beat the Washington Football Team 27 18. Tight end Tucker Craft brought to you by Ed Hurley. He nothing.

[Tom Griswold]

Ed Hurley, he used to be the announcer guy for Kraft.

[Chick McGee]

He would be. He would give you a Craft recipe every week.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, and always here's something delicious that we're gonna spoil by pouring this crap all over it.

[Chick McGee]

No, we're gonna make it better with. Oh, sorry, Golden Delicious rich cheese.

[Christy Lee]

Of course.

[Chick McGee]

Anyway, packers go to two and. Oh, Washington goes to one and one. Looks like Austin Eckler has an Achilles tendon tear. He's out for the season. And. And Diedrich Wise, one of their defensive linemen, is also probably out for the season. Wnba last night, Minnesota, New York, Dallas and Vegas all win. And that brings us to the unbelievable. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ever up late and you don't know you're looking for something on TV and you just can't. You just can't find it? Yeah, well, I've been watching something German television. I can't tell you how I can't.

[Christy Lee]

Run out of American tv.

[Chick McGee]

I can't tell you how I've come come about to seeing it.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

But they have various and different competitions on German television. It's a lot like the Gong Show. They have these un interesting physical competitions, but it's not like any other normal sports where it's. For instance, last night, 3:00am it was the Tippy the Flippy cup competition.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh.

[Chick McGee]

Now you guys who had been to college play Flippy cup, of course. Yeah. Well, this is a different Flippy cup and if we could go to the video, it's. You can actually bet on Flippy Cup. There's your first contestant and it's exactly what you think it is.

[Josh Arnold]

He looks to be a middle aged man.

[Chick McGee]

He's going to.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, he's trying to flip a cup.

[Chick McGee]

Onto another cup into another cup and make it you. This guy actually nails it, I think.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're watching this on television.

[Chick McGee]

This is German competition.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, he missed.

[Chick McGee]

And now here comes our winner.

[Christy Lee]

What do you do if you, what do you get if you Win.

[Tom Griswold]

These guys are miked.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They get a. The German commentary is really something, actually.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. You get it.

[Josh Arnold]

Man did it. And he's there.

[Chick McGee]

He is.

[Josh Arnold]

He acts like he's been there before.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, that's right. He doesn't spike the cup or anything. And they act like this.

[Tom Griswold]

There's huge production values. There's confetti falling from the ceiling.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, hell, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Big Kleeg lights. Like it was designed by Albert Spear.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, it is a German show.

[Christy Lee]

It looks like America's Got Talent. That's what it looks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Albert Spear would have the lights position.

[Chick McGee]

Albert Spear.

[Josh Arnold]

The columns.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Columns going into the sky. He was, of course, Hitler's architect.

[Chick McGee]

Did he help write Mine Comfort?

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no.

[Chick McGee]

It was that.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

Are you sure it wasn't spirit?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, positive.

[Josh Arnold]

It was James Patters.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. John Grisha.

[Chick McGee]

I thought it was Clive Cussler. I can't.

[Tom Griswold]

He wrote Duncan Shane. Oh, there you go.

[Chick McGee]

An American man in his 90s has become the oldest person to visit the North Pole.

[Tom Griswold]

I dispute this.

[Josh Arnold]

Why? Why do you dispute this?

[Tom Griswold]

Santa Claus.

[Josh Arnold]

He has supernatural properties.

[Christy Lee]

He's ageless.

[Tom Griswold]

How old's this dude?

[Josh Arnold]

90?

[Chick McGee]

What are you talking about? This is the world record. And all it is is this man has passed time until he's 95 years old. And he went to the North Pole. Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Was it everything he hoped it'd be?

[Chick McGee]

Richard Dick Idle, boy.

[Tom Griswold]

Dick Idol, I bet at 95, I'll bet his dick is idle.

[Chick McGee]

He visited 90 degrees north, location of the Pole, at the age of 95 years, 236 days. I did it, he said. I crossed it off my bucket list.

[Josh Arnold]

I forgot my jacket.

[Tom Griswold]

Hope that bucket list isn't real long.

[Chick McGee]

I'm in a T shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Hope there's not much left in that bucket list.

[Chick McGee]

Mr. Idol took the title. Mr. Idol took the title from Edward Stahl, who was 90 years old, 334 days when he went to the North.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, a Werther's original won't melt up here.

[Josh Arnold]

Who does he look like?

[Tom Griswold]

Me. He's skiing. Good for this guy.

[Josh Arnold]

Hey, all of a sudden.

[Tom Griswold]

But I'm not going to the North Pole. I'll go to Steamboat Springs or Vail or Aspen, but I'm not going to the North Pole. Maybe Montana. How about Idaho? Let's go, let's go. Let's all go skiing in Idaho.

[Josh Arnold]

What would you have guessed? 78, 80?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

He doesn't look 90. He looks spry. I like that ski.

[Christy Lee]

Jack does not look 90.

[Josh Arnold]

He's got. His color is great.

[Chick McGee]

You like the ski jacket?

[Christy Lee]

He's col. Standing up straight.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I meant white. So stupid.

[Christy Lee]

He's not all hunched over like old men.

[Chick McGee]

And, Tom, I have a highlight, especially for you. It's from the 1970s, when the NFL was wonderful. Minnesota Vikings were having a home football game at Metropolitan Stadium.

[Tom Griswold]

Are these the Purple People Eaters or whatever?

[Chick McGee]

That was their defensive line. That's right. Alan Page. Carl Eller.

[Josh Arnold]

He said rather dismissively.

[Chick McGee]

Gary Larson.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't know what to expect here.

[Chick McGee]

But anyway, for the halftime. For the halftime entertainment, if you would describe what you're seeing on the video screen. Okay, it's a guy in a snowmobile. Now go.

[Tom Griswold]

A guy in a snowmobile. He's going up on the sideline of.

[Chick McGee]

The field as fast as you can imagine.

[Tom Griswold]

Very quickly. Oh, my gosh.

[Christy Lee]

He does a loop de loop like the Hot Wheels.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's great, because I knew you'd love this because you've got to be going fast enough. If you don't. If you don't get up to speed, you get half. Yeah. You're dead.

[Josh Arnold]

And the key is to keep your foot on the pedal as you hit that loop.

[Chick McGee]

And they hug him. They hug him at the end, like, thank God you're still alive.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly right.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, does he have a bailout option?

[Chick McGee]

I don't think so.

[Tom Griswold]

I assume the engineers have figured out what speed he has to be going for to complete the loop de loop.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. How tall is that loop, you think?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it's. It's 20ft.

[Josh Arnold]

What if he pulled the helmet off and it was Richard Nixon?

[Tom Griswold]

Well, then I think that he would have saved President. I would have said, that'd be okay with me.

[Chick McGee]

Sock it to me, Derek.

[Tom Griswold]

If you can do the loop de loop, you're staying in Watergate be damned. Hey, it was a stupid thing to do anyway. Come on, get back and get back in the chair.

[Chick McGee]

I couldn't believe it when I saw that.

[Tom Griswold]

That is uncle.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's awesome. Wild. Have. Yes. I've always wanted to see this. Derek Daly was explaining to us once that if you took, like, an Indy car or an F1 car, they have so much downforce on them that if you. You. If you got them up to speed and did, like, a loop de loop, but had the loop extended right, you could drive them upside down because their forward motion shoves so much.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, gotcha. So kind of like a corkscrew.

[Tom Griswold]

There's so much yeah, there's so much force. Wow. Hold it on. And you drove it upside down. Now the problem would be, say, the engine stalls and then gravity would kick in. This is me being an amateur physicist. But that's cool. I hope they do that at this super bowl instead of some dumb rap artist.

[Chick McGee]

Wouldn't that be great? Well, the rumor is Taylor Swift's gonna be ridiculous. Yeah, why not?

[Christy Lee]

It could be.

[Josh Arnold]

That would just be work for her. She has no reason to do it.

[Chick McGee]

Isn't she the most popular musical artist in the world?

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Probably among a bunch of them.

[Chick McGee]

By far. No know.

[Christy Lee]

Among who?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, there's a handful.

[Chick McGee]

I don't even think there's a top three. It's Taylor and everybody else.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

There's a number of very popular people they could grab.

[Christy Lee]

Well, who, of course, but Gracie Abrams.

[Tom Griswold]

Then I'd watch the halftime show.

[Chick McGee]

She is great. She's. Oh, I love some good music.

[Tom Griswold]

She's terrific.

[Chick McGee]

There's Maggie Rogers. I like her taste. Maggie Rogers. He doesn't know. He is.

[Tom Griswold]

You've heard the song?

[Chick McGee]

I do.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh. Ever heard the song Orange Show Speedway?

[Chick McGee]

Yes. That is very good.

[Tom Griswold]

Great. That's Joni Mitchell esque and it's brilliant.

[Chick McGee]

Tom and I love lesbian singers.

[Tom Griswold]

She. I don't know if she's gay. It doesn't bother me. It's.

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

Either way, I'm not going to end up in bed with her. Would you watch a movie with her in it?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Who.

[Mark Summers]

Who's this?

[Tom Griswold]

Just any.

[Chick McGee]

I'd watch a movie with her in it if we were in bed together.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. What happened to the show?

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I lost track.

[Chick McGee]

One more world record coming up. Again, the Passage of Time. And this isn't even a world record. It's just a declaration from an old person. That's exactly what this next.

[Mark Summers]

Well, at least that.

[Josh Arnold]

That last old guy had to get somewhere. He had to go to the North Pole.

[Chick McGee]

That's true. That can't be easy, I guess. And Tom did. Did identify with him.

[Christy Lee]

And he skis, so, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it was cool.

[Chick McGee]

And did you say. Did you say something about Spider man coming up?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, we got Spider man news.

[Chick McGee]

Spider Pig. Spider Pig does whatever a spider pig does. Look out.

[Tom Griswold]

He is a spider pig. Yeah. Orange Show Speedway, a song by Lizzie McAlpine.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Check it out. That's a terrific song. Now let's see. Where were we? Coming up, we have Spider man in the news and kind of a cool story. It's a kind of a real Spider man incident.

[Chick McGee]

Have you heard the Spider man secret identity as Peter Parker? Have you heard the.

[Christy Lee]

This what?

[Josh Arnold]

The young kid with the camera?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah. Spider Man, Peter Parker. Same guy.

[Tom Griswold]

No way.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. Who told you you had something about Superman, his secret identity, didn't you?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, I'm not saying.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Chick McGee]

All right. Probably best.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, what happened was Clark Kent got the Lasik. Oh, boy. And it outed him.

[Chick McGee]

Cover blown.

[Josh Arnold]

And don't even ask who Batman is. The last person who said they knew was. Was Jeffrey Epstein.

[Tom Griswold]

So.

[Chick McGee]

Well, now it all makes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Thank you, Josh.

[Tom Griswold]

That made my day. Right now it's time to do a little bit of a quiz. Now, Chick may not be as sharp as he usually is because he stayed up late to watch his team. They had a rough game, but it's not over there. One and one.

[Chick McGee]

I watched one play and I knew it was going to be bad, so I went to bed. That is the absolute truth that ruins this setup.

[Tom Griswold]

But for the. For the purpose of this next.

[Chick McGee]

You're right, Tom. I'm a little woozy from lack of. There we go.

[Tom Griswold]

Ergo, quiz time.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

You've been hearing about annuities here in this show for a while. I didn't even know what an annuity was.

[Chick McGee]

I think it's new to all of.

[Tom Griswold]

Us and the experts on annuities, the Silos Insurance Company. It's all about being able to retire and having some money coming in. And so we have a little quiz about those annuities. We call it the McGee three. I've had these three questions submitted to me. These are the FAQ frequently asked questions of the folks at the Silac Insurance Company about annuities. It says, dear Chick Magee. Yeah, I want to browse. I want to read about all the Silac annuity options. What is the Silac web address, please?

[Chick McGee]

No, website. Silacins.com. that's s I L A C.

[Tom Griswold]

We gotta write a jingle for that, Pat. S I L A C ins dot com. Oh, I just finished it. Thank you. Write that down.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you already did.

[Tom Griswold]

Question two. I love this one. I like the idea. A 20% bonus by going from a 401k to a Silac annuity. What the. I'm sorry. No, the question is what's the. What's the phone number for? That is the question.

[Chick McGee]

I read it wrong again. Very easy call. Dial pound 250. That's pound 250. And say bonus 20. That number again in English pound 250 and then just say bonus 20. How do you feel about pound enter pound enter pound enter pound pound pound.

[Tom Griswold]

Pound is also hashtag and I call it checkerboard. Okay, good. Thank you very much. In spite of your fatigue, you're doing great. Two for two. Last question. Dear Mr. McGee. Would it be too much to ask for you to read the SILAC disclaimer?

[Chick McGee]

It would be. I'm sleeping. I'm taking a nap.

[Tom Griswold]

Cricket.

[Chick McGee]

Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Premium bonus may vary by annuity product, premium band and surrender charge period selected and may be subject to a premium bonus. Recapture. Some products with bonuses may offer lower growth rates or caps. Consult your financial advisor. Terms and conditions apply. See silacins.com disclosures of course.

[Tom Griswold]

Christy gets it right. Brilliantly done. Thank you very much. Christy Lee, by the way, all dressed up today. Apparently a job interview. You're looking. Looking very nice. Beautiful color, Stevie Nicks. That's a very Kind of a preppy kind of a. Kind of a dress up.

[Christy Lee]

It was my second choice. The first one was a hot pants. That's why I was late this morning.

[Tom Griswold]

What was wrong with the first one?

[Christy Lee]

Couldn't get it zipped. Thanks for bringing it up.

[Tom Griswold]

Your honor. I believe the. The plaintiff brought it up, actually.

[Chick McGee]

A little UBI Tay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

A dead ass.

[Tom Griswold]

I was hoping it was.

[Chick McGee]

I was hoping it was.

[Tom Griswold]

She got a big ass. I was hoping it was evage, Clay. But for the rest of you, a really big ass.

[Christy Lee]

No, it was a zipper. It was a zipper failure.

[Tom Griswold]

You look very nice.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

With a big ass.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't recover from this. These are the O'Reilly Auto Part Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Josh Arnold]

Olivia loves a challenge. It's why she lifts heavy weights and likes complicated recipes. But for booking her trip to Paris, Olivia chose the easy way. With Expedia, she bundled her flight with a hotel to save more. Of course, she still climbed all 674 steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower. You were made to take the easy route. We were made to easily package your trip. Expedia Made to travel flight inclusive packages are ator protected.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. What happened? There's Christy Lee at the Silac insurance news desk. I'm not playing this.

[Tom Griswold]

The circus music music there.

[Christy Lee]

Are you playing?

[Josh Arnold]

This is.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not playing this. Aces Ace is playing this.

[Chick McGee]

Hello, Jess Hooker. Hi. This is fun music.

[Tom Griswold]

Is it? Yes, it's fun, Pat.

[Chick McGee]

It sounds goofy.

[Tom Griswold]

This is the kind of thing you play in the bedroom when I was there. Say to your lady friend, look, it's time now for the puppet show.

[Chick McGee]

This sounds like I bring out the puppet. This sounds like the Ed Gein playlist. Well, I'm going to put his face on my face.

[Tom Griswold]

No, this is happy sweet music. Come on. Oh, the kind of thing you hate.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That is not good.

[Christy Lee]

You hate happy stuff.

[Chick McGee]

Let me ask you this.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Which server's band did you bring in to. To record that music?

[Tom Griswold]

I have. That is not. I'm not responsible for that music, but I like it very much. Much.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Very happy. Sounds like little. Getting ready for a nice circus show.

[Chick McGee]

Well, it's nothing. What now from Alan.

[Christy Lee]

It's from Alan.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Nothing like this. You don't like circus. You don't like circuses because there are three rings much going on.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I've always said this.

[Christy Lee]

You can't focus.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I've got terrible add. Anyway. And now I go to the circus and hey, look, there's some guy. There's some lady hanging by her head. Air. This is awesome. Then there's a lion over here and then there's a.

[Chick McGee]

You need a one ring circus.

[Tom Griswold]

I thought people with ADHD that that.

[Christy Lee]

Would be a good thing because there were multiple things.

[Chick McGee]

Go to ring one, ring two, ring three.

[Tom Griswold]

Bored so quick.

[Josh Arnold]

You can look at.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but. But people aren't getting their due. Oh, okay. There's some person out there that's developed some incredible skill.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm able to watch that. Like, I want to appreciate it.

[Josh Arnold]

You gotta watch it like you would listen to an orc orchestra. I mean, each. Each individual comes together for the. The whole thing.

[Christy Lee]

I went to a one ring circus last summer. They are. They exist.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

In a parking lot. Yep. Absolutely. Where they are. No, it's great.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not. I've never found clowns especially funny. Especially. Although I do like the thing where they get, you know, 40 guys come out of a little car. That's always great. Especially if one of them is very short in stature. That always cracks me up.

[Josh Arnold]

Typically the last.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, that's always funny.

[Christy Lee]

You think of Jess and I as little clowns, don't you?

[Chick McGee]

If we dressed up as clowns for Halloween, would that freak you out?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. I hate that. That would be awful.

[Christy Lee]

Really? Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

What about a mime? Would a mime freak you out?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Mark Summers]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

You know my clown story.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I know your clown.

[Tom Griswold]

You know this one.

[Josh Arnold]

J.

[Chick McGee]

But you, you, you. Sorry, I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't tell the whole thing you retain your guy.

[Chick McGee]

I want to hear the.

[Tom Griswold]

No, the.

[Chick McGee]

You went ahead and.

[Tom Griswold]

This was in Deland, Florida.

[Chick McGee]

Had some dinner.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait, wait.

[Christy Lee]

Why do they call it Deland?

[Tom Griswold]

This near to sea. And the. Thank you.

[Chick McGee]

We need to return.

[Tom Griswold]

There was one of those. One of those lesser circuses. Sure. Not the Ringling Brothers, but one of the lesser circuses was in town, right. And this lady came in with this clown, you know, at 6 in the morning. And they were.

[Chick McGee]

The circus PR person brought the clown.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, okay.

[Chick McGee]

Brought him into the station. So the circus PR client, the circus PR guy. Guy talking to you and the clowns talking to you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. So we're sitting there, we're getting together, we're playing, you know, probably like Hotel Motel or something. Playing whatever the music was at the time.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm talking to this guy. He's smoking a cigarette and he's. This is smoking. Yeah, whatever his name was. Like Washoe the Clown or whatever clown makeup. He was not in makeup. But since it was radio and there was. We didn't have YouTube and all that stuff. I do. I figured he'd be. And then. This is completely true. And then as soon as we went on the air, I said, hey, we got whatever his name was, Washoe the Clown from the. You know, whatever it is, Lesser Brothers Circus right here with us. And I said, so, what's the show like? And I literally get a honk, honk. And I realized, oh, he doesn't talk.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, no.

[Tom Griswold]

I've gotta. I've gotta find a tape of this. It was really bad. Yeah. So. Oh, so do you have, like, animals and stuff? Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

She talk or.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but not. She. Not during the.

[Christy Lee]

Not during the interview.

[Chick McGee]

No. She talked at dinner.

[Tom Griswold]

Different part to this story. The story's over.

[Chick McGee]

That's not. Tom couldn't talk. His mouth was full, if you know what I mean.

[Tom Griswold]

Vomit.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Chick McGee]

But he went ahead and finished. He's closed.

[Tom Griswold]

There may have been vomiting. I don't know. Is it. Have you finished sports? Do you have one more sports story?

[Chick McGee]

I have one more of these. Why can't I hear that?

[Josh Arnold]

Nobody knows I'm running.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow. Amazing. Stupid.

[Chick McGee]

World record.

[Josh Arnold]

The symphony of volume levels.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Even. Even through the. The sound chain that. Eddie. Eddie has been working on this sound chain with Dan for 30 years. Are you ready for some football? You can't get the levels right.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I do have my new. I do have my new outro music. Would you like to hear that?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sooner than later.

[Chick McGee]

I'll see you, gu.

[Tom Griswold]

That's pretty Good.

[Chick McGee]

Toodles.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, what's the world record?

[Chick McGee]

A British woman says she's giving up racing.

[Christy Lee]

What?

[Chick McGee]

After competing a 10, completing a 10k at the age of 87.

[Tom Griswold]

But not racism.

[Josh Arnold]

She's still, she's still holding strong to that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. She still wants all those folks to go back where they came from.

[Chick McGee]

Once again. I'll repeat this. A British. An 87 year old British woman says she is giving up racing.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, racing. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

After completing a 10k.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, so she doesn't race cars.

[Josh Arnold]

That was it. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's no record. There's no. This is. Yeah, you're right.

[Josh Arnold]

This is a person quitting.

[Chick McGee]

This is a person. Just.

[Tom Griswold]

If you keep reading. Did she. Did she complete records?

[Chick McGee]

Mrs. Barbara Thackeray only started running 10 years ago, but has since competed in around 15 10k races.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

So the only record she has is. Glenn Miller.

[Chick McGee]

The retired teacher and grandma of two has decided that Sunday's 10k race would be her last official running event. She said, my body is getting a bit tired now. I'll keep running.

[Tom Griswold]

But no more road rash on her.

[Chick McGee]

Boobs while in the prolapse.

[Josh Arnold]

She's gonna keep running. She just doesn't need to do it as a. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Professionally.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Did you know the Glenn Miller Orchestra is still out there performing?

[Chick McGee]

Sure they are.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Well, Glenn. Glenn quit the group quite a while ago.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Unwillingly. Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I hear somebody talking about it yesterday. They're.

[Tom Griswold]

The Glenn Miller Orchestra is about to play the Kennedy Center.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's.

[Tom Griswold]

That's true.

[Chick McGee]

In October, Glenn Miller died in a plane crash.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Is that right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I love. I had a two disc CD of original Glenn Miller.

[Christy Lee]

I love that stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

In the Mood and Big band or.

[Christy Lee]

Big band. Wonderful.

[Chick McGee]

He's Steve Miller's grandfather.

[Christy Lee]

Really?

[Mark Summers]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a lie.

[Chick McGee]

Tom feels compelled. He can't let it go. People are going to think that. Steve Milton.

[Josh Arnold]

This is one of my all time favorite songs.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a great melody. Glenn Miller, so fun. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Say what you want, but the movie 1941 has a great scene involving this music. That's a great movie.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm with you. I, I really enjoy that movie.

[Chick McGee]

Love it.

[Tom Griswold]

There's also a great classic big band song in the movie Young Frankenstein.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the Chattanooga Choo Choo song is worked into it in a very, very funny way.

[Josh Arnold]

When I was a small child, the. The Six Flags in St. Louis had a show and it was chickens that would come out. They were like animatronic or something. And they would Come out and they would balk to that song.

[Christy Lee]

That's great. In the mood.

[Chick McGee]

You have my attention.

[Josh Arnold]

I and I, I begged every time we went to go watch the chickens.

[Chick McGee]

Aww.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I love, loved it.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to get an engineer out there. Maybe Eddie can fix this up. I want to get a fish that on the wall. One of those things. Oh, yeah, that will sing the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that's gotta happen.

[Tom Griswold]

That's pretty funny. Or we could have him do Pat's version, which is the rectum of Ella Fitzgerald.

[Chick McGee]

I think it was Ella Fitzgerald's birthday not that long ago.

[Tom Griswold]

Did she get a cake? Going to kill you.

[Chick McGee]

Well, I'm just saying maybe we should have played a song just for her.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, so I'm, I'm. So this lady's retiring and that made the news, huh? Is that sports?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, and you brought it to us. I. I don't know what I was.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, my gosh.

[Chick McGee]

You know what? I humbly, sincerely apologize, but you should.

[Tom Griswold]

Hook up with that guy skiing at the North Pole.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, well, they're both fit, very active.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah, 87. And run, running.

[Josh Arnold]

They both hump it out.

[Tom Griswold]

That guy's 90. In skiing posture's better than mine.

[Chick McGee]

She's 87.

[Tom Griswold]

My goal is to be able to ski when I'm in my 80s, so. Okay. When you're in your 80s, I want to ski. Yeah. Still.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that is a good goal.

[Tom Griswold]

One of. One of our friends is 80 and he still skis.

[Christy Lee]

How's your bone density?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not sure. Apparently it's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Say, brain.

[Chick McGee]

I thought the same exact thing.

[Tom Griswold]

I think it's good. Good.

[Christy Lee]

Okay. They need good bone density to.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, well, good so far everything's fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Good. Your bones are as dense as chalk.

[Tom Griswold]

You know that right now. Right now, the primary density I'm having is in my left testicle.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, we heard.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, maybe we. Pat can sing his song from Ms. Hooker.

[Mark Summers]

I'd be glad.

[Tom Griswold]

A new song coming out. We'll come back with that. I enjoyed that.

[Chick McGee]

You know, we never did find our tallest listener yesterday.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes, we did. He was sick.

[Chick McGee]

We got one letter. He said he was six, nine.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that's our.

[Tom Griswold]

That's probably the.

[Christy Lee]

It's hard to beat that.

[Chick McGee]

There's got to be a seven footer out there listening to us.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, but maybe, maybe they have no interest in corresponding with us.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe their bone densities type of. Who knows?

[Chick McGee]

You get that tall, you don't live very long.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have something new in the news. A doctor calls it jet belly.

[Josh Arnold]

Jet belly.

[Tom Griswold]

Jet belly. I get this and it. And the cure for jet belly. Rather unusual and may not make everybody around you happy. We'll find out what that is in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Thanks for listening. Portions of the show brought to you by Champion Windows. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We got another listener. A late entry. The listener email. Hello, Josh Arnold. Hi, Christy Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

Pat Godwin. There's Jess Hooker. Hi, Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee. We're in the o'reilly Auto Parts Studios.

[Tom Griswold]

Could you do it by height?

[Chick McGee]

And no, there's Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Isn't that our topic?

[Chick McGee]

Speaking of height, we did get a follow up email yesterday. We were trying to find our world. Call us listener to the Bob and Thompson. And they. Someone emailed us. He said he was 6 9.

[Josh Arnold]

That's tall. Tall.

[Chick McGee]

We got a follow up email yesterday from a guy who claimed to be eight three.

[Tom Griswold]

All right.

[Chick McGee]

He told the guy who claimed to be 69 to suck it.

[Josh Arnold]

All that guy would have to do was lift his chin.

[Christy Lee]

Work in the NBA, be my height.

[Tom Griswold]

So now we're getting email from bl.

[Chick McGee]

Are there really tall guys out there that keep it on the down low, you know, or like 8ft tall?

[Christy Lee]

I think he'd notice them. Yeah, I don't think he. Keep it on the down low.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

You know, but nowadays you don't have to go out or do anything ever if you don't want to.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, you're right.

[Chick McGee]

Absolutely not.

[Tom Griswold]

I think if you were 8ft tall, you. Isn't that giganticism or something where they. That's not good. It's very difficult.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

The heart doesn't care for problems with physics.

[Chick McGee]

And didn't you, didn't you have a growth spurt? Weren't you like five two as freshman and then you.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I grew from five three to six feet in one summer.

[Chick McGee]

Basically. That's nine inches.

[Christy Lee]

Didn't your bones hurt?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, it was an agonizing summer.

[Chick McGee]

Brutal.

[Josh Arnold]

It's like being in the rack.

[Christy Lee]

Can you imagine?

[Tom Griswold]

That's when I was the bellman at the holiday in your pants.

[Chick McGee]

I absolutely adore these stories. It was, it was Tom's first. Was it your first adventure in the outside world? No mommy, no daddy, no.

[Tom Griswold]

No. I'd had other jobs. I didn't paper route my whole life.

[Chick McGee]

Well, that's your name.

[Josh Arnold]

Is there a Holiday Inn out there at all anywhere in the world? That still has a bellman.

[Christy Lee]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Not a holiday, probably. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, I was the bellboy at a holiday.

[Chick McGee]

Was it the first time you.

[Tom Griswold]

But it was great. I mean, it was so much fun. And. And the guy, one of the guys I worked with, Eddie Sincere.

[Chick McGee]

Was that the first minority you ever met?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet it was kind of. Maybe one that you.

[Chick McGee]

That you bonded with.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But, yeah, it was. That was the face.

[Chick McGee]

Was that his real name? Eddie Sincere, I assume.

[Tom Griswold]

That's what. That's what we call. That's what he called himself. Himself.

[Josh Arnold]

That's such a great name.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

One of the greatest ever.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. And that's the story where I, I. There wasn't a lot to do. Is the bellman of the Holiday Inn. So I'd wash the front door a lot. And we had. We had our little. We had our little closet with our mop, you remember? And then Eddie had a bottle of booze behind the bucket. How old was Eddie?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, well, at the time, probably.

[Tom Griswold]

See? Yeah. To me, he seemed to like Scatman.

[Josh Arnold]

Let's just say he hadn't always been free.

[Chick McGee]

That's how old he was. That's old. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Let's see. It would have been nicer. That probably not possible, but he was probably in his 40s.

[Chick McGee]

You remember how much money you made an hour?

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God. Probably a buck. Something an hour, probably.

[Josh Arnold]

And you're often tipped, I imagine. Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Biggest tip I got was from a pro golfer.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, God, I can't remember.

[Chick McGee]

You procure a lady for him?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I. I'll have to look at the. The list of pro golfers in that era.

[Josh Arnold]

And I'll remember Bagger Vance.

[Chick McGee]

Ben Hogan.

[Christy Lee]

Did you have to valet park cars on occasion?

[Tom Griswold]

And, yeah, that. And that was. I was only 16.

[Christy Lee]

I was gonna say that I didn't.

[Tom Griswold]

Really have the skill set to drive.

[Josh Arnold]

Was there a restaurant attached?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. And the restaurant was called. Not the one, but it was called the Olive Garden.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, okay.

[Tom Griswold]

But it wasn't. It wasn't the Olive Garden.

[Chick McGee]

It didn't become the Olive Garden. It was just an isolated.

[Tom Griswold]

That holiday in is no longer there.

[Josh Arnold]

Did your folks ever come to eat there or anything? Just to see you? Oh, I love that.

[Tom Griswold]

I love that. And I wore one of those, as Chick would describe it, ejaculates.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

It's the jack, the jacket that comes down to your waist. It's like a sport coat with lapels. And it was. It was red. It was red, but your pants were black.

[Chick McGee]

Did you have a little bellman's hat, a little cap?

[Tom Griswold]

Did not have a cap.

[Chick McGee]

Ah.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you addressed as Bellman?

[Chick McGee]

What kind of pants?

[Tom Griswold]

Pants. Just black. You had to wear black. No. Blue jeans.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, bellman.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was. Yeah. Black shoes, black socks, black pants. And then what color shirt?

[Christy Lee]

White.

[Tom Griswold]

White shirt? Yeah. No tie.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

Black tie.

[Tom Griswold]

But, yeah, that was my job. And the. The.

[Chick McGee]

Did anyone call you boy, oh, boy?

[Tom Griswold]

No. And the.

[Chick McGee]

The journal up yet?

[Tom Griswold]

The name of the guy that ran the place? You're not going to believe me when I tell you his name was Mr. Burns.

[Chick McGee]

Burns.

[Tom Griswold]

And we called him Fat. Frank.

[Chick McGee]

Was his name Frank Burns?

[Tom Griswold]

His name was Frank.

[Chick McGee]

Frank Burns. Each word. Oh, my God.

[Josh Arnold]

He was portly, right?

[Tom Griswold]

He was very. And he would sit in the. There was a. In the lobby of the Holiday Inn. There were. Some of the seating for the hotel was there for the restaurant, rather.

[Christy Lee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

And he would sit there. There for hours at a time, eating.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm picturing.

[Tom Griswold]

And he. And he also, by the way, he smoke a cigar. He smoked cigarettes. But he. And he had a pencil thin muscle.

[Josh Arnold]

Would he wear a vest with straining buttons? They were.

[Chick McGee]

You know what I'm saying?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he was. Yeah, he was kind of. Who's the guy from Family Affair? Sebastian Cabot.

[Josh Arnold]

Excellent.

[Christy Lee]

Excellent.

[Tom Griswold]

But, yeah, and he. He had greasy hair. Hair, it was a little. A little too long that curled in the back.

[Christy Lee]

I wish I could remember.

[Tom Griswold]

Pencil thin mustache. And then I went up, I got a call occasionally. I'd get a call, you know, go up to room, you know, 217 and help lady with her bag. No, I. And I. I went up to this room. Oh, was there a golfer named Frank Beard? Or. That's the.

[Chick McGee]

That's the something. Beard. It might have been Frank Beard. Yeah, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Or Frank Beard's the drummer and ZZ Top, I think any. Anyway, I think that's who the.

[Chick McGee]

Chris Beard, maybe. There was definitely a Beard who golf.

[Tom Griswold]

I think that's the guy that gave me the big tip. Anyway, I was called up to a room, not the aforementioned Mr. Beard's room. And I was. It was fairly late in the day, but I was still. I worked the afternoon shift and the morning shift, and this guy goes, you know, can you get me a girl?

[Chick McGee]

Can you get me a girl?

[Tom Griswold]

I'm not exactly sure how he worded it, but it became clear to me that. And I just remember saying, oh, I don't think we have that service here, sir.

[Chick McGee]

That's not the way you said it.

[Tom Griswold]

And then he said. Said Well, I got one the last time I was here. And who did you talk to? And then he described the other bellman. I said, oh, that. That's Eddie Sincere.

[Josh Arnold]

And. Yes. Frank Beard.

[Tom Griswold]

That's the name of the golfer.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. He won 11 PGA Tours.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he gave me a big tip. I moved his clubs into his car. Very nice guy, but. Yeah, then. And then I told. I left a note for Eddie. See that? You know, room 217? The guy's looking once, so.

[Christy Lee]

And he was running a side hustle.

[Tom Griswold]

Hey, why not? Yeah, and like I said, he also had his bottle of booze behind the bucket.

[Josh Arnold]

Do you remember what that was?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

It wasn't the sort of thing you'd find in my dad's liquor cabinet.

[Chick McGee]

I bet. Not off brand. Something like fortified.

[Tom Griswold]

I never. I never took a snort at work. Even then I took, you know, my job seriously.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet that was a great job.

[Tom Griswold]

It was a terrific job.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And the. Lois was one of the desk clerks. And you'll have a crush on her. And you'll like this Lois. When I left to go back to school, she gave me a book called Setting Free the Bears by John Irving.

[Josh Arnold]

How about that?

[Tom Griswold]

Pretty ahead of her time.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And there. There was Mickey and one other guy.

[Chick McGee]

Mickey.

[Tom Griswold]

Mickey was one of the other other. One of the other desk clerks. And we had the Holodecks computer, which at the time was like, state of the art. And it was. Now you'd look at it and go, wow, that's.

[Josh Arnold]

Were they traditional keys for the rooms?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

So they. With a pegboard kind of thing on the back, the hooks.

[Tom Griswold]

And they had the big green. And they had the green plastic.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Thing. Yeah, absolutely.

[Chick McGee]

Wow. They had all the little cubbies for mail and stuff.

[Tom Griswold]

Yep. Yeah, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Would you add this to your outgoing mail? I'd be happy to.

[Chick McGee]

And by the way, I left my shoes out in the hallway, and they were not shined this morning.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, I tried to pull that once because it happens in Shawshank. At one point, he's at the bank and he goes, by the way, would you add this to your outgoing mail? She goes, I did that at a bank once.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And the lady looked at me like I was an absolute psychopath.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a crazy.

[Chick McGee]

Did you just say it because you saw in the movie.

[Josh Arnold]

And I went, oh, I didn't realize that you could just ask people to add your mail to theirs. How cool is that? And so I had to go to the bank And I had to go to the post office and so I, I just went, I'm gonna kill two birds with one stone, like Andy Dufresne does. And I was taking care of the stuff at the bank and then I go, oh, by the way. And I had like these bills or whatever stamped and would you please add these to your outgoing mail? And she goes, what?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I've got, got a thing from a movie that I would wonder if it would work. Do you ever see the Maltese Falcon?

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

Great scene where Bogart and he's got. He's gotta send that note and it's there, it's in San Francisco. But he just puts the street address, then just puts the word city. Would that work? I don't know.

[Christy Lee]

He had the zip code. It didn't have zip code.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no, no. Are you kidding? That wouldn't work now, you know, whatever it was, you know, 1417 Main Street. City. City.

[Chick McGee]

I remember there being a. I want to say like a two minute commercial when zip codes came out.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, really?

[Chick McGee]

And that's all you'll need is your zip code or they call it a postal.

[Tom Griswold]

And now you got that thing, when you click on it, it gives a zip code. Then it gives something else.

[Christy Lee]

After that there are four more numbers. That's the postal code. Right, That's.

[Chick McGee]

Did you know our friend. I don't want to sound like Tom, but did you know our magician friend Justin Willman? He has memorized every.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Chick McGee]

Zip code in the United States.

[Christy Lee]

Unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

And Justin's going back on tour. I'm going to be seeing him, I want to say, in January.

[Chick McGee]

He's got a Netflix series out there. Justin show out there right now.

[Tom Griswold]

Take your kids. That's one of the greatest shows I've ever seen and I've seen the show live twice and it's, it's terrific. Different every time.

[Chick McGee]

And he's. He's much funnier than I thought he was and I thought he was funny. He's. He's really.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a great show.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

If you get a chance. I think Justin's tour starts, I think. Are you looking it up? I think it starts in January of next year.

[Josh Arnold]

Hell of an entertainer.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I just saw something on my.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Okay. So I'm sorry, we've. Oop, we've just lost all.

[Josh Arnold]

Remember his original name. He used to go by Justin Credible.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

He did the right. I think he did the right thing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Starts in February.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. Yeah. But, yeah, we'll, we'll hope to get him in. Yeah, maybe we can get him in here again. Last time we had him on Zoom and he did a tremendous trick.

[Chick McGee]

Mind boggling.

[Tom Griswold]

Somehow he did it lines through the, through the, through the camera. It was amazing. Coming up, we have a new ailment. It's called jet belly.

[Christy Lee]

I'm wrong. Justin's on tour now because he's got a gig on Friday the 19th.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, where is he going to be?

[Christy Lee]

He's going to be in boys in San Angelo, Texas.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, if you're anywhere near San Angelo, go see him.

[Chick McGee]

He's formerly San Antonio.

[Tom Griswold]

Tell him we said hi. Also coming up, he's a TV dude from way back back.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's Jeff Oskay with fail to mention news.

[Josh Arnold]

All right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Shut up.

[Josh Arnold]

A drinking pony named Patrick is cutting way back on its beer consumption according to its owners. What? You failed to mention he had to lay off the sauce after falling down while giving a pony ride. The real issue, he blamed the fat kid on his back.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, he drunk and surly.

[Chick McGee]

I was at a friend's birthday party and they said they were then not you.

[Josh Arnold]

They would not allow you to get on.

[Chick McGee]

You're too heavy. You're not. When you were a kid. And my neighbor also told me that I would burn the clutch out on his mini bike if I rode it. Stay with a child.

[Josh Arnold]

I bet you went home and you ate something, didn't you?

[Chick McGee]

I did. I. I took a cinnamon bond and grilled it on the. A lot of butter. I hate my feelings.

[Tom Griswold]

Explains.

[Chick McGee]

And I watched a Jerry Lewis movie.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. Could we get back to a news we failed to mention with Jeff Oskar.

[Josh Arnold]

That was way more interesting?

[Christy Lee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

In Germany, what was believed to be a group of children playing Ding Dong Ditch turned out to actually just be a snail. Well, you failed to mention the snail was playing his favorite game. Ding Dong Dwell. Ding Dong Dwell.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm trying to think it through. I'm trying to think it through. Trying to stick around.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, very quick.

[Tom Griswold]

They call Ding Dong Deutsch over there.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we, we, we heard that two days ago. Tom, that was a great joke. It was hilarious. We all laughed.

[Tom Griswold]

Just trying to.

[Chick McGee]

I don't know if you're in the heckling position, Jeff.

[Mark Summers]

Just trying.

[Tom Griswold]

To change the subject.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, if you love that, you're going to love this one.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

Women are going to turkey to have their legs shortened. What you failed to mention. So where do we send them for their work stories?

[Chick McGee]

So true. So true.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, we get it, Ladies. You don't like her.

[Chick McGee]

Who do we hate this week?

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, we learned that a phenomenon known as ozempic penis is just one of the side effects of using the weight loss drug. What you failed to mention. I believe it. The last time I tried dieting, I came down with a horrible case of slim Fast sack. Kept racking myself. Yeah, I mean, I think this we have a clean slate now, don't we?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You're back.

[Josh Arnold]

We are above water.

[Tom Griswold]

Just like that.

[Chick McGee]

He redeemed.

[Tom Griswold]

Move forward from here. You're fine.

[Josh Arnold]

Researchers are saying that LSD may reduce anxiety. What you failed to mention. Well, I've done my own research and it does not.

[Tom Griswold]

Sure.

[Josh Arnold]

Maybe when the walls start breathing after two hours you feel a little more relax. And finally. Oh, wait. No, not finally. Sorry. You guys sit through this piece of crap. Someone somewhere hosted the tug of war championships. What you failed to mention, I just have written down at the end of their ropes. Write it yourself. You guys do some.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

All Right, Fair enough.

[Josh Arnold]

Fair enough. We do tend to just. And finally, a teen who would only eat chicken nuggets was cured thanks to hypnosis. Well, you failed to mention back in my day, the cure was a belt. The belt cured a lot of problems. Picky eating, talking back, acting up at school, cursing, not keeping your room clean, disrespecting your parents. It was a cure all for most parents. I'm Jeff Oskay and this has been the news. I wish Fish. I failed to mention.

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you, Jeffrey.

[Josh Arnold]

Very nice. Slim fast sack.

[Tom Griswold]

Apparently a very common ailment.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, sir, Tommy. The sort of.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't talk about that in the commercial. We have Christy Lee over there at the Silac Insurance News. That reminds me though, speaking of SlimFast, we talked with Larry the Cable Guy earlier this week and his special is up and running right now on Amazon Prime. It's called Larry the Cable Guy. It's a gift. Gift. So get her done. How did that watch Larry?

[Christy Lee]

Because he did Nutrisystem. So Slim fast.

[Tom Griswold]

He talked about.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, losing weight.

[Tom Griswold]

Which one did? He did nutrition. Okay, he did one of them. Then he did Prilosec right after that.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, I know he did Prilosec.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, but he mentioned it.

[Chick McGee]

So is it Prilosec or Prilosec? I don't know.

[Josh Arnold]

Prilosec.

[Chick McGee]

Prilosec.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, what do you got? Christine?

[Christy Lee]

Hey, there's a new survey out there of 2,000Americans that show most folks ditch their budgets and their diets while on vacation.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

[Christy Lee]

Well, that's why you go on vacation.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a part of vacation.

[Josh Arnold]

Break from everything.

[Chick McGee]

What else do they have? From the Obvious Institute?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, this is from the Talker Research poll that found nearly 60% of U.S. adults say budgets don't exist when it comes to vacation. About half said calories don't count either. 30% feel that when they're on vacation, there's no pressure to watch the news or check a news app.

[Josh Arnold]

Sure, I like that. Tomorrow, mom, are you pretty good at letting it all.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no.

[Chick McGee]

Let it go.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no, no. I will read my normal.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, a bunch of. He can't take a break. He was emailing us while he was.

[Christy Lee]

At the surgery center. Y like waiting to be rolled in.

[Tom Griswold]

He's sending us stuff.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, maybe it's a comfort thing sometime you don't want to keep mind occupied.

[Tom Griswold]

Should have seen the photos I didn't send.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I didn't get any photos. I'm thank for that. 50% intentionally avoid reading work emails.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Christy Lee]

More than 60% believe that returning texts or calls in non emergency situations is totally optional.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, I don't have to be on vacation and not read work emails.

[Chick McGee]

Is there, is there a condition among management, Middle management. Management types that almost always send emails to employees on, on the weekend or.

[Tom Griswold]

I just don't read them when you're.

[Chick McGee]

On vacation or before the show or something like that.

[Josh Arnold]

You know, maybe it's. They, it just occurs to them at that moment and they just send it out. I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't like the Friday email.

[Chick McGee]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

This will, this will ruin your weekend. No.

[Christy Lee]

We've had some comedians send emails at like 8pm on a Friday and I'm like, I can't respond to this.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

So I have to set an alarm.

[Tom Griswold]

To remember on Monday to respond.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

60% admitted to skipping responsibilities they would normally keep up with, such as working or title. Hiding him. This is what vacation is all about. I don't.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Don't you. When you're in a hotel on vacation.

[Christy Lee]

You work out on vacation?

[Tom Griswold]

Depends what I'm doing. You sure?

[Chick McGee]

Absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

I don't work on vacation. No.

[Tom Griswold]

But you walk a lot on.

[Chick McGee]

I walk a lot on vacation, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. But you don't go to the gym at the hotel.

[Tom Griswold]

I kind of make the bed.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Chick McGee]

On vacation.

[Christy Lee]

On vacation.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I'm not going to put in hospital corners, but I'll get it organized.

[Chick McGee]

And you have a maze paid for that.

[Christy Lee]

Well, if you're not.

[Tom Griswold]

Not if you're an Airbnb. Oh, no, but whatever. Just I just want to have, you know, in case there's stuff there.

[Chick McGee]

We conducted a poll with our Bob and tom listeners, and 98 of people are shocked and dismayed that you don't care for room service, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

I hate room service.

[Chick McGee]

Hates it.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. That's unbelievable.

[Tom Griswold]

You're at some exotic place. So you want to sit in your room. It's a desk and.

[Chick McGee]

Well, you're not going to sit in your room all day, but just for.

[Tom Griswold]

Breakfast, maybe you're a nice restaurant. They've got flowers.

[Chick McGee]

That's right. You got the flowers.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you got to have sexy breakfast. Right.

[Chick McGee]

You order the whore breakfast.

[Christy Lee]

Over 65% said they eat out for every single meal while on a trip.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

Quarter of respondents said they have dessert with every meal as well.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, how about that?

[Christy Lee]

Over half said they snack more than when they're at home. Nearly 55% wear clothes on vacation they wouldn't normally wear at home.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, cabana wear. Of Course. Oh, yes, I'm with you on that one. Absolutely. A caftan just culottes for me. A linen short sleeve shirt.

[Josh Arnold]

And I checked positive on almost all. All of that. That whole list.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, me too. When it comes to vacation, the motto, treat yourself came out on top 40% followed by try everything once and no alarms and no plans.

[Mark Summers]

Okay, I like that.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I mean, you want some plans, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, you're on vacation, you want to take advantage of. Hey, you're in some cool place, do something fun.

[Josh Arnold]

But a lot of people. A beach vacation, you don't have to sit and read.

[Chick McGee]

And once again, no room service and no beaches because of the sharks.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I know. I mean, not every. Not every thing that Tom Gris won't.

[Chick McGee]

Maybe go.

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe go at boating. Might be fun.

[Christy Lee]

Do you ever.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm.

[Christy Lee]

And I mean this from the depth of my heart. Do you ever just relax?

[Chick McGee]

You ever let your hair dust? I mean, you know what I mean?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I mean just.

[Tom Griswold]

I relax in my own way. But no, I don't. I don't like sitting on a beach.

[Chick McGee]

In your own time.

[Tom Griswold]

It's boring. And like it's.

[Christy Lee]

What do you do to relax?

[Tom Griswold]

Go on a nice hike. Hike.

[Chick McGee]

That's a good way.

[Josh Arnold]

Or that can be. That actually can be oddly relaxing.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. The last vacation I was on just a few weeks ago, hiking and until suddenly I felt a severe pain in my lower belly area.

[Christy Lee]

Is that how you think you got your hernia?

[Josh Arnold]

I don't know.

[Tom Griswold]

Who knows? I wasn't lifting anything at the time.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, maybe you were that hog.

[Chick McGee]

Heavy equipment, gallon balls. You're going to have a problem.

[Josh Arnold]

Like wearing a ruck sack, isn't it?

[Tom Griswold]

Now, Pat, you learned that while on vacation. The breath. The breathalyzer still reads out the same. Yes. Drunk on vacation with my son, driving around.

[Chick McGee]

Really? That doesn't seem very.

[Josh Arnold]

Yelling at the characters at Disney.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, hey, Minnie. I heard you were insane.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, wait, wait.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I got that joke. Something about Goofy.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry. Coming up, we're going to talk with Mark Summers.

[Josh Arnold]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

[Josh Arnold]

How about back to wool? And you can listen to the comedy stylings of radio Robert Wool.

[Tom Griswold]

That's enough. Robert Will. TV doesn't even rhyme with school.

[Chick McGee]

Wool. And he played.

[Josh Arnold]

No, that's rhyme.

[Chick McGee]

Remember Hollywood nights with a K. It's ghoul.

[Josh Arnold]

I do. I. I really like you.

[Chick McGee]

Don't wear a wool.

[Tom Griswold]

Or a wool sweater.

[Chick McGee]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, wool and school totally rhyme.

[Chick McGee]

You can't say bull. I'd shut up if I were you. New bomb Turks. Wool.

[Tom Griswold]

The word wool. W O L does not rhyme with school.

[Josh Arnold]

Rhymes with brass.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, maybe, maybe when you're illiterate vocabularies it does, but rhymes with brother. Brother.

[Christy Lee]

Wool and skull.

[Tom Griswold]

You've got a skull.

[Chick McGee]

What rhymes with. It's a skull.

[Tom Griswold]

Sweater.

[Christy Lee]

No, it's not.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa.

[Josh Arnold]

Again, what is the deal? Check your dial.

[Tom Griswold]

That's check level.

[Josh Arnold]

He's gonna blast us out of here.

[Tom Griswold]

Coming up, we have Spider man news. Something called Jet Belly and. Oh, Pat.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, Jet Belly, you gotta write a.

[Tom Griswold]

Song during this break.

[Josh Arnold]

And if Mark Summers hasn't left, we'll.

[Tom Griswold]

Have he knows that school doesn't rhyme with wool.

[Chick McGee]

I'll tell you what.

[Tom Griswold]

We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Top Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance news desk.

[Christy Lee]

Hello, Chick.

[Chick McGee]

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

[Josh Arnold]

Yes. Get fired up for fall grilling with omaha steaks. Visit omaha steaks.com for 50 off site wide and for an extra 35 off. Use promo code BTS at checkout.

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick McGee. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

We have a special joining us in the studio. It is Mark Summers, author, actor, game show host. The guy's done it all. And he was even in a movie last year that I'm just finding out about. I am a fan of those Hallmark holiday movies. And I say holiday movies because the one you were in was called Hanukkah on the Rocks.

[Mark Summers]

Yes. And I was doing a one man show off Broadway for six months last year.

[Chick McGee]

Year.

[Mark Summers]

And after the show, a lady came up to me and said, you know, have you ever thought about being in a movie? And I went, yeah, right, that's gonna happen. And I ended up starring in a Hallmark movie. I had no idea how popular those things are. People are obsessed with Hallmark movies. And you know, my email. And everything exploded when that came on the air. So it was a great experience.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. And it's a really charming, great movie. And I was hoping they're starting to do sequels of those now.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

I'm hoping to eventually see more. More of you at the bar explaining some Hanukkah traditions.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, we, we're in conversations. But like everything in our lovely industry, it doesn't exist anymore. And they've cut budgets left and right. So who knows what's going on in this business. We're all here. Broadcasting is unusual these days. It seems like everybody is either merged and let go and AI is taking over. It's a frightening time.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you film it in Canada?

[Mark Summers]

We did, as a fact of matter.

[Tom Griswold]

Matter of fact, because I've watched enough of those to know and there are several actors that are in several of those.

[Mark Summers]

Correct. They use them over and over and over again. We were in Winnipeg, a place I've never been to in my entire life, and we had some fun there. We're up there about almost a month shooting this thing. And was it Christmas time, Hanukkah time? A little bit before. We were shooting in September. But my biggest fear was memorizing all those lines. I was in fear that at my age, I can barely remember where I live anymore and the fact that I had to memorize, you know, like 80 pages of dialogue. But I had an acting coach with me who was spectacular and he told me, calm down, you'll be fine. And son of a gun, it was. It was easier than doing the Broadway show only because you could stop and start. And if you screwed up, you'd say, hey, can I do that again? And you did it. When you're doing a live show on stage by yourself there, there's no do overs.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you. When you were filming Double Dare, were there a lot of do overs there?

[Chick McGee]

None.

[Mark Summers]

We had no budget to go back and do it again, so I had to fix it. So sort of as we were doing it. And you learned a lot as a broadcaster. You know, that show started in 1986. I was a young whippersnapper at the time, but I learned how to do basically live TV because we were up to six shows a day, five days a week, 30 in a week was a lot.

[Chick McGee]

And didn't you also have to conform or obey with game show rules? There some extra stuff there?

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, standards and practices makes you do certain things that's fair across the board, all the contestants and things like that. So, yeah, it was interesting.

[Josh Arnold]

After the 21 scandal, they made sure.

[Mark Summers]

Wow. So I understand. Well, a couple of things. You're talking about Justin Willman as I was driving in.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I've known Justin since he went to college with my daughter at Emerson in Boston. And to this day I still think that Justin is the best live act working clubs anywhere. And I just think he's. You know, I started off as a magician and I love to get free fooled. And half the time I have no idea how he does what he does. It's amazing.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's great.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I saw him. I've seen him a couple times live and in person. And I just yesterday was noticing he's. He's going to be nearby, I think in January or February. I'm going to go see him again. But you were saying he's in Texas this weekend?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he's in abilene on the 19th, not this weekend.

[Tom Griswold]

There's millions of videos out there of him. But seeing him in person, he's great.

[Mark Summers]

He's brilliant. He really is brilliant. Now you're also talking about hiking. I just took the whole family to Maui and I hike a minimum of five miles a day no matter where I am. Where did you like to go? Hike.

[Tom Griswold]

I was. The last big hike I was on was in Vail, Colorado.

[Mark Summers]

Beautiful.

[Tom Griswold]

And it was that. It was there two weeks ago. You know, they also got a hernia while hiking.

[Chick McGee]

They also ski there.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you know? I'm quite aware that's the rumor.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Mark Summers]

But I've been on these trips. I don't know if you've ever done these. I don't know if you take the time, but I did a 70 mile hike of Tuscany and Umbria.

[Tom Griswold]

Wow.

[Mark Summers]

Which was amazing. And then I did a 60 mile hike in Portugal, and, boy, I got to tell you, there's a company called Backroads, another one called Country Walkers. You must do those. Those are spec.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. My neighbor just got back from bicycling across Portugal and he said it was amazing. I'm looking forward to it. But speaking of hiking, this couldn't be more perfect. We have a hiking story in the news that I find quite interesting of them, actually.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, this one is. Officials in New York State say four hiking hikers high on magic mushrooms needed to be rescued from the Catskills. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation said one of the hikers called for help, saying they had all taken psychedelic mushrooms and that one was suffering from, quote, a debilitating high.

[Josh Arnold]

Yikes.

[Christy Lee]

Another one of the hikers was hallucinating, claiming to see a bridge that did not exist. Think about that.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, that's. That's problematic. Depending on where he saw it. If it was over a golden.

[Christy Lee]

Russell Martin, a forest ranger who helped in the rescue, said the men were lost on the Giant Ledge Trail, which ranges from 1100 to 2600ft in elevation.

[Josh Arnold]

What do they got there?

[Christy Lee]

Giant Ledge with several sheer cliffs and drops.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah. You got to have a drop.

[Christy Lee]

Four strangers and members of the Pine Hill Fire Department were able to locate the hikers, one of whom was in the fetal position and unable to communicate.

[Chick McGee]

That would have been me.

[Christy Lee]

So they were brought down safely.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, Mr. Oskay was discussing this, and he said, aren't you supposed to have some kind of a sober guide if you're.

[Josh Arnold]

It's a smart idea.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, I would think.

[Tom Griswold]

I would think hiking a trail with 1200 foot drops. Probably not a good idea to not be totally sober and really know where you're going.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

So tell me about your hernia, because sadly, I have to go do this as well. I've been putting it off and putting. Putting it off, and now it has its own zip code. I've got to go do this. And I understand yours has not been a comfortable situation.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, no, it did, but it was great. Doctor. Yeah. I had one, what, January or February, and then I had another one a couple weeks ago. I didn't. This one hurt weeks ago.

[Christy Lee]

It was Monday.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I had it fixed on Monday.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

So, yeah. And then. But it's Great. They probotic, right? Yeah. They put a mesh in there, like a screen door piece in there that fixes that. I speak in medical terms. I don't want to get too technical.

[Chick McGee]

You got mesh now. You got. Got cow parts inside you. You got pins in your shoulder. Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

So was it same day, you go in and go out the same day?

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. Wow. Yeah. I went in early in the morning and I was out by like one in the afternoon.

[Mark Summers]

Much pain?

[Tom Griswold]

A little bit. And it's. Right now it's kind of settling south. Well, Pat actually wrote a song about it.

[Chick McGee]

Well, yeah. You have some issues now.

[Tom Griswold]

I have today. Yeah. I have quite honestly turned purple from the groin area.

[Mark Summers]

South tmi.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it is. It is purple. In fact, half of part of me that is free and easy. Only half of it. Half of it is purple. And I didn't notice that until yesterday afternoon because I could. You can't shower for a couple days.

[Mark Summers]

Why?

[Tom Griswold]

Because you're glued. Your stomachs. They. They put three holes in your. In my case, in your belly.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Then they glue them shut.

[Mark Summers]

They glue them shut.

[Tom Griswold]

They don't use stitches. They use glue. Glue.

[Josh Arnold]

Water soluble. Apparently.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, apparently.

[Tom Griswold]

And then. Then you don't. You're not allowed to scrub the area. Yeah. You got to be careful. It's just. You can get it wet, but you.

[Mark Summers]

Can'T scrub my area. And I'll scrub it as long as I want.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, then you'll. But then they tell you if. If this green goo comes out, you go back to the hospital.

[Mark Summers]

Green goo?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. No, I'm fine. They did a great job. There's. The glue is holding, but I am black and blue and I'm a little bit swollen in certain areas. So that's. I. Where. Why I'm very gingerly.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Doing this.

[Mark Summers]

My.

[Tom Griswold]

But by all means. And it's a robot. I mean, it's obviously a brilliant physician and a great staff, but they. Part of it is done by a robot.

[Mark Summers]

And how long did it take to do?

[Tom Griswold]

Maybe an hour.

[Mark Summers]

That's it, huh?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, I. I was out, so I don't know.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, I don't want to be around. So what is this lovely song that we have about?

[Chick McGee]

Dearly beloved, we are gathered today to show a little sympathy for a fearless leader. Just had some surgery.

[Mark Summers]

I think you know who I'm talking about.

[Chick McGee]

Tom had a hernia procedure and he's in a lot of pain. That whole area is discolored. Bruises on a star stomach all the way down to his loins Purple groin, Purple groin Come on now Singing with Purple groin Purple groin I'll take it from here, fellas. The color of a rare top sirloin penis Looks like an eggplant. Or it's got a purple. Oh, boy. Thank you very much.

[Tom Griswold]

Love it.

[Mark Summers]

So, can you not do certain things for a while?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

How long?

[Josh Arnold]

Two weeks is what it said on that.

[Christy Lee]

Discharge inst.

[Chick McGee]

He's not supposed to be driving or.

[Mark Summers]

Discharge, discharge.

[Tom Griswold]

Here's one that was highlighted and I brought it in because I knew they wouldn't believe me because right here it says, keep all small incisions dry for 48 hours after surgery. You may resume sexual activity after two weeks.

[Chick McGee]

Boom.

[Tom Griswold]

That was greeted with applause.

[Josh Arnold]

No, no. You know, you should alter that, too. You must assume.

[Chick McGee]

Well, this is my, this is my famous story in front of my wife at the time when, after I had my open heart surgery, the doctor looked at me and said, now you can't have sex. Sex for six, six weeks with your wife. Eight weeks for anyone else.

[Tom Griswold]

That's true.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah. And that was true.

[Josh Arnold]

No, it's, it's more. Longer.

[Mark Summers]

Stranger.

[Chick McGee]

Longer for the stranger.

[Christy Lee]

Because it's so much more exciting.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, no, I. Exciting. Better. Whatever.

[Tom Griswold]

And no chick told that story. And then a few years later, Robert Schimmel, the comedian, had a similar thing with the same story and then he brought in the pamphlet. Pamphlet.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's written right there. No.

[Christy Lee]

Did that piss her off?

[Chick McGee]

It would have to. What do you think? A little more than pissed off.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. What didn't?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

By the way, room service. I agree with you a thousand percent. Yeah. There's no point in it.

[Tom Griswold]

What?

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, no, I, I, I'm 50. 50 with it.

[Tom Griswold]

You go to a nice hotel. There's a great restaurant downstairs. I, I, I don't go to Vale to sit in my hotel room.

[Mark Summers]

It doesn't taste the same. It's never hot enough. It's just, you know, the toast is cold.

[Tom Griswold]

I bother and I like to engage with the waitress, find out what do these tattoos do.

[Mark Summers]

But you can't do that for two weeks.

[Chick McGee]

Engage the waitress.

[Tom Griswold]

No, no. You don't go back and forth, hey, what's a good thing to do today? What's happening in the town?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, but it's great if you are. You come in late and the restaurant's already closed. You have an option.

[Tom Griswold]

I hate sitting in bed with food on it. I hate food in the bed. I hate food in the car.

[Mark Summers]

I don't like food in the car. Well, that's your ocd.

[Chick McGee]

You don't really.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah. Oh, I hate having my girls will have food in the car and then especially when I. The Suburban where they've got that way, way back seat.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

But you never. And then six weeks later you go back there, oh, look, here's half of a Big Mac.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, yeah. I hear about the sesame seed.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I hate when you find french fries that are three weeks old. Old when you're, you know.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. They just don't taste as good.

[Mark Summers]

Who would know better than you, right?

[Chick McGee]

They're not hot.

[Tom Griswold]

Mark Summers is our guest. Mark has a distinguished television career and the star of a Hanukkah on the rocks, which I'm sure will be coming back getting recycled on the Hallmark Channel.

[Mark Summers]

They just re ran it over holiday in July.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

As well. And I know it'll run 100 times this year as well.

[Chick McGee]

Absolutely.

[Mark Summers]

It never goes away.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that's. But that's fun. Yeah, that's cool.

[Christy Lee]

Don't they have a Christmas channel year round now? Hallmark?

[Josh Arnold]

I think they do, maybe. I know on every Friday year round the one channel will show. But I don't watch them. I'm a strict like mid November.

[Christy Lee]

You gotta do it seasonally.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, but they're filling programming. You know, I haven't shot unwrapped in 10 years. But on discovery plus IT trends just about every day and you know, watching how Tootsie Rolls are made or how Hershey kisses are done is I guess still excited, exciting. But you know, you can watch my hair change color over the years by watching these shows, you know, that I started doing God knows how many years ago. And it's like I said, it's been 10, 11 years since we shot any new ones.

[Tom Griswold]

When we come back, I've got a question about the early days of Double Dare.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

[Tom Griswold]

Thank you very much, Chicken McGee. When we come back, we'll hang out with Mark summers in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, thanks for listening this morning. Got something to say? Send us an email, Bob and Tom at Bob and Tom, tom dot com. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. Christy Lee at the Silac Insurance News Center.

[Christy Lee]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

There's Pat Godwin. Hey, Josh Arnold. Hi, Ace Cosby. Hey. We are in the O'Reilly Auto Parts studios. Think O'Reilly Auto Parts for all your car care needs. Get the parts and service you need fast from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Hello, Tom.

[Tom Griswold]

Joining us now. Studio hello, Chick is, is, is Mark Summers, television guy, personality, writer, actor, featured in the Hallmark movie Hanukkah on the rocks, which should be resurfacing as the holiday season comes back around. I noticed they spelled it with an H. Yes. I guess they figured there's 17 versions.

[Mark Summers]

Of how to spell Hanukkah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. They're not gonna take a chance to go with the ch.

[Mark Summers]

No. God forbid.

[Tom Griswold]

Right?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

And I think it also hall Hallmark Hanukkah. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay. All right.

[Chick McGee]

How old were you, Tom, when you stopped pronouncing it Chanuka.

[Tom Griswold]

I grew up, I grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio as the, the only non Jew. So trust me, you were clear on it. I was very clear on it. I was wondering why we didn't have it at my house. They get, they get presents every night.

[Christy Lee]

Candelabras.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh. When you were doing in the, in the early days, doing double dares. Right. Was it your choice to wear tennis shoes all the time or whatever we call them sneakers?

[Mark Summers]

Well, I had not been diagnosed with OCD just yet and I had no idea that there was going to be slime and all that mess because when I got the audition in Los Angeles, we were just playing little games with ropes and, you know, hula hoops and things like that. So they fly me to Philadelphia, and I walk in and I see a guy pouring chocolate syrup all over a slide. And I see said, excuse me, what are you doing? And he said, well, this is the obstacle course. And I said, I don't know what that is. And they said, well, if they win, they have to run through all eight obstacles in 60 seconds or less. And I started to freak out because I had no idea that there was slime and whipped cream and chocolate syrup and stuff like that. And so the first 65 episodes, I dodged all that stuff. I did not get a drop on me. And the first 65 episodes, I wore penny loafers, okay? So at the time, UHF TV was. Was big and Different Strokes and Facts of Life were the number one shows until Double Dare came on. Their ratings dropped, and they found out that all these kids were doing something called Playground Talk. And they said, you can jump into £5,000 of baked beans and win a trip to Disneyland. So they started to follow us and they did a focus groups. And the kids said they loved the show and loved me, but they wanted me to get messy. So the muckety mucks at Nickelodeon called me in the office and said, we're picking you up for another 65 hours episodes. The kids love it, but we have to talk to you, and they want you to get messy. And I said, guy, why would you want me to do that? And they said, well, it's what the kids want. So then it became a challenge. They would say, if I get to the obstacle course on and win all eight, can we pie you or can we put slime on you? And yes, that all happened. Now I would change my clothes and take several showers during the the day because we were shooting six a day, and I wasn't diagnosed. Double Dare was 86 to 94, and I wasn't diagnosed with OCD until the late 90s. So it wasn't until I was diagnosed on live TV and my talk show Bigger Than Summers that I even knew what I had now.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm trying to remember the name of your book. Was it Everything in Its Place?

[Mark Summers]

Yep.

[Tom Griswold]

I read it years ago. I loved it.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, same here it is terrific.

[Tom Griswold]

And it's your story when you were a kid, all of your shoes would be neatly lined up, and the problem.

[Mark Summers]

With that would be.

[Tom Griswold]

And I remember there's a moment where if I'm getting the story right, I think it was one of your kids. They were young, it was their birthday and you took butcher paper and stapled it all over the house so the kids wouldn't get the walls dirty.

[Mark Summers]

No, I wouldn't put staples on because that would damage the walls particular kind of tape.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, of course.

[Mark Summers]

But I had to figure out how tall the average 5 year old kid was. And the rumor got around the neighborhood that I was doing this and people in the neighborhood were knocking on the door pretending they needed a cup of sugar. And then they'd look around, they go, oh my God, you really are doing this stuff. So yes, I had a bit of a reputation.

[Tom Griswold]

But didn't your wife catch you combing the edge of the rug, the fringe at night?

[Mark Summers]

It's what got me to the doctor because I had done a segment on my talk show and sort of moved on. And she found me at one o' clock in the morning straightening fringe and she said, do you still have the number and name of that doctor? And I said yes. And she said, you're calling him in the morning. And that's what started getting fixed.

[Josh Arnold]

As we said when you were writing the book, did your symptoms flare up a little bit? I asked because I have anxiety disorder and if I'm on a podcast or something talking about it, I start to kind of feel some of the symptoms.

[Mark Summers]

And 100%, the hardest part was so NBC and Dateline followed me for about a year and they wanted to see the transformation. And so the final episode was we're coming to your house at 7 in the morning. You have to leave and you can't come back until we call you. But we're not going to tell you what we're to going going to do. And I had been through therapy and I thought I was in really good shape. So I left at 7 in the morning and Sarah James was the host. And they called me about 11:30 and said, you can come back. And I drove back and I opened up the door and they had taken my living room area and turned it into a TV studio. And my knees buckled when I walked in because I thought, oh my God, how am I going to put this back the way it was? Yeah, it was easier to sell the house, quite honestly.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you okay now?

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, I'm actually doing. I always say I'm like 82% cured. I'm not 100% cured. Certain things flare it up. But I learned over the years now how to deal with it. And I talked to Howie Mondale on a fairly regular basis. He's got this thing called no ocd, no cd, actually. And he's a spokesperson around the country. We just did a big talk thing for those guys.

[Tom Griswold]

Doesn't Howie take, like, tongs and take the sheets off the bed and.

[Mark Summers]

Yes, used to do all that stuff, and he would order, like, 20 towels and put them in the hotel and lay him down so he didn't have to touch the floor and. Yeah, yeah, he's. He's been through it, but, you know, one of the most successful performers, I think, in the entertainment industry ever.

[Tom Griswold]

You know, is. Is there a, like, meeting groups like. There is for AA?

[Chick McGee]

Oh, yeah.

[Mark Summers]

100%.

[Tom Griswold]

Bet that has some great stories.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, my God, you wouldn't believe it.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, I've got. I've got a friend. He had. They were. There was a painting crew at his house. And. Do you know where this is going? Once they left, he took all the toilet PA paper rolls and threw them away and put fresh toilet paper on.

[Mark Summers]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

I'm surprised he didn't change all the seats.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, didn't you tell me when you got a new house, you always put a new toilet seat in?

[Christy Lee]

Yes, of course.

[Mark Summers]

You.

[Christy Lee]

Thank you.

[Mark Summers]

Why wouldn't you?

[Christy Lee]

Crazy.

[Mark Summers]

No.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

I. I mean, we were kind of shocked that you don't do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, I mean, the house I live in, I built it. I mean, I. I had. They were all new.

[Christy Lee]

But you hadn't done that in the back.

[Tom Griswold]

No. Well, now that I think about it, the previous house. Yes. I. I actually bought, like, seven Canadian toilets off of the back of a truck that were.

[Mark Summers]

Since we're going in this direction, here's a question to ever asked. And, you know, there's not many places I could ask this question. When you go on an airplane, right. And you have to do things there like. I've never taken a dump in an airplane.

[Tom Griswold]

I. I was this. Once again, pretentious. This.

[Chick McGee]

This situation reared its ugly head.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I was. I was flying from. Back from London a couple months ago, and for the first time in my life, I had to. And then, of course, I get in there thinking, okay, this is where the seat belt light had been on forever. So I. Things were really developing, and staging had begun.

[Mark Summers]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Yes. What is. What do you always say? The. The. The both keys had been turned for the missile silo.

[Chick McGee]

There was no holding back.

[Tom Griswold]

So that. But the light finally goes off, and I go back in there. Then I'm thinking, this is where the plane's going to. To drop 20,000ft and everyone's gonna Hit the ceiling. Yeah, it was hard.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. I don't care about that, but I just want to know.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. I don't know. Yeah, it's. I tried everything. When I get on a plane, I will, generally speaking, try. I might have one coffee, but I would try not to eat or drink too much.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

I never get a beverage when they come around. I never get juice or a Coke or anything because I don't. I really don't want to have to go into those. Into the men's room on a plane.

[Mark Summers]

And the trip from London to here is not an easy trip.

[Chick McGee]

That's a long.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I'm getting ready to go to Japan. That's ten and a half hours. I don't know how I'm going to do that.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Don't go to Taco Bell that morning.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. Skip the chilies to have some bone broth.

[Mark Summers]

No rice and beans.

[Tom Griswold]

Are you going to Japan for. For a gig or just.

[Mark Summers]

No, you know what? I've just never even thought about going there and recently started doing some research. We're doing Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, and then I'm taking a side trip to Hiroshima and excited to go. It's. You know, I go to Europe and. And I've been there many, many times, but I've never sort of stuck my toe in the water in a Asian area and thought we'd go for it.

[Tom Griswold]

All right, well, we're speaking with Mark Summers. He's had an interesting career doing all kinds of stuff. And what I thought. Next thing, I never got to the bulk, the meat, rather, of my question. When you started wearing tennis shoes.

[Mark Summers]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Or whatever. Sneakers.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have a shoe deal?

[Mark Summers]

Yes, we did. Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

So you had to wear.

[Mark Summers]

Yes, I had to wear. I'm trying to remember which kind we were using. Well, jeez, I forget the. Which brand.

[Chick McGee]

Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, Brooks.

[Mark Summers]

I can't remember. I don't know. I'm at that point in my life. People came up to me the other day and talking about a show that I did that I had no recollection of even doing. So it's, you know, I'm at that point. But, yeah, we had a shoe deal and I had to wear their shoes.

[Christy Lee]

And did you get a new pair every show?

[Mark Summers]

No, but we had one person's job. I can't believe her job was to clean my shoes. You know what? Get out of here.

[Tom Griswold]

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Chick just. Chick just perked up. I mean, there's someone that'll do that.

[Chick McGee]

So what do I do, hire a driver or a shoe cleaner?

[Tom Griswold]

We're coming back with more. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studios. This is the Bob and Tom Show. Hey, thanks for listening to the Bob.

[Chick McGee]

And Tom show this morning. Get a look at today's show on our YouTube channel. Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. At the Silac Insurance news desk, it's Christy Lee in her swell Stevie Nicks dress.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

There's the one, the only Pat Godwin. Hey, Chick. Hello, Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi there.

[Chick McGee]

There's Ace Cosby. I'm Chick mcgee and Tom. We have a super special guest joining.

[Tom Griswold]

Us in the studio. He is Mark Summers, I guess is a television personality, one of your hats. Also an author of a great book that I read years ago about your OCD adventure. Adventures.

[Josh Arnold]

Adventures.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it really was, we know.

[Chick McGee]

Nice way to put it.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm just, I haven't looked at the book in a while. I remember one of the other things I remember, I'll probably get this wrong, but the essence of it was before you could get on an airplane, you had to go to a certain store window and am I getting this right?

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you had to read everything before you could get on a plane.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. You have to do these things, intrusive thoughts that if you don't read something in a particular way, you'll say, well, the plane's going to go down or something bad is going to to happen. So you would find yourself going and doing these repetitive actions over and over again.

[Tom Griswold]

And you do know about when you get on a plane, you have to touch the side of the plane with your aware of that. Okay. I just want to make sure you knew that.

[Mark Summers]

It's actually I use the left hand, so that's no wonder.

[Tom Griswold]

I can't believe you're here with us. What was the other one? Another story I remember from the book and I if I'm getting this right, I think it was your daughter or something was in town and you didn't have anything to cook, but she wanted a hot dog. And you. And you went and we tell the story.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. I was living in New York City and I was just doing a couple of talk shows there and my kids would come and spend a month at a time with me and especially in the summertime. So I would go out to dinner every night. I never used my kitchen once. And I said to Meredith in the elevator going down, what would you like to do? And she said, I just want to cook some hot dogs and have Dinner at home. And I said, well, I can't do that. I don't have any, you know, pots or pans or anything. And, you know, what do you say to your at the time, like nine or ten year old daughter? So I went to Macy's and spent, you know, $500 in pots and pans. You know, that hot dog cost me, you know, almost a thousand dollars. But yeah, I did it because she wanted it. You know, I think it was the only time I ever used those pots and pans.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, I do a similar thing now. It's the make your own pizza thing I'll do with my daughters.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you go to one of those.

[Mark Summers]

Pizza ovens, like the Ooni pizza oven.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But the thing is, you go to like Whole Foods and you spend $40 buying the stuff to make a pizza.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And you make a pizza that's almost as good as the one you can get for six bucks.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

Have you used your solo stove, P.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm getting ready to Christmas three years ago. Well, I've been busy. I have things to do. Our guest. Our guest is Mark Summers. Do you. I kind of was walking out of the room and you guys started talking about this, so I didn't hear the answer. Do you do conventions where you go and are they game show people or just all these television people?

[Mark Summers]

No, television people. And it's fascinating. I mean, I went to one recently with Martin Sheen and got to meet him and spent some time with him. You know, Priscilla Presley was there. I mean, it's fascinating to me who shows up to these things. Weird Al. When we were doing Double Dare, we premiered on the Fox network when they first launched in prime time on weekends. And the first celebrity episode we did was Lou Ferrigno against Weird Al. Okay. You can imagine. And I hadn't seen Weird Al since then. And there he was. And sure enough, he remembered. And it was hard because you obviously want people to go to the physical challenges. That's what people tune in for.

[Josh Arnold]

For.

[Mark Summers]

And. And he answered every question. And I said, hey, man, how do you know all the answers to these things? And he said, it's my gig. I remember.

[Tom Griswold]

I want to say that Al was the valedictorian of his high school class. I think he's a super smart guy.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. It would not be surprising.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's got a great band. If you ever get a chance to see Weird Al live, he's spectacular. He has a terrific.

[Josh Arnold]

They have to know how to play everything. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And. But they're Very good. Yeah. So, yeah, and, and like I said, Al's been in, in here a couple times and he's a, he is a smart dude.

[Mark Summers]

My favorite episode we ever did on Double Dare, though was super slopomania 1. I had gorilla Monsoon against Bobby the Brain.

[Josh Arnold]

He know two of, I would argue, two of the funniest television personalities of all time.

[Mark Summers]

And, and brilliant.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

Bobby the Brain had the best sense of humor and remembered every joke he had ever heard. Whether he heard it from you or me or somebody else, he put it in memory. And Gorilla had two degrees. He was a brilliant guy, but together they were unbelievable.

[Chick McGee]

Yes.

[Mark Summers]

And at the end they choreographed. They said, could do you mind if we get you messy? And the finale of it was I caught them cheating on the obstacle course and they picked me up and dumped me into this thing of chocolate. I mean, you would not have believed it, but it was an honor to have Gorilla Monsoon in Bobby.

[Josh Arnold]

You're absolutely. That's so great. They, they're, they were one of the best comedic duos of all time.

[Tom Griswold]

Ever.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I mean, Dick the Bruiser, when I grew up here, back in the day in Indiana where I grew up, he was a local personality. And you know, back then wrestlers were more regional before the wwe, you know, became what it became. But I mean, who didn't want to go to those things and observe that whole situation?

[Tom Griswold]

You're in the presence of someone who had Bobo Brazil steal their sandwich.

[Christy Lee]

My Monte Cristo.

[Mark Summers]

Really?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. I was working for a local television and we would broadcast the wrestling matches and I had to run camera one time because one of our camera operators couldn't make it. So afterward we all went out to dinner, you know, at 11, 12 o' clock at night. And here comes Bobo, he walks by me and he goes, you ain't gonna eat that. And grabo.

[Tom Griswold]

It was interesting because those wrestling guys, they are very athletic, they tend to have very long careers. Uh huh. Because I remember seeing Mr. Brazil when I was a little kid.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. And this was.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, and, and he'd been doing it for decades.

[Christy Lee]

This was mid-80s and.

[Tom Griswold]

As had Dick the Bruiser.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. Yes, absolutely.

[Mark Summers]

Well. And towards the end, when the WWE dropped Heenan and then he went to another league and one thing after another and you know, they didn't pay those guys much. WWE came to me almost every year and wanted me to become a broadcast broadcaster because I had this following with all these people from the Nickelodeon audience and they thought they would follow me over.

[Chick McGee]

Oh.

[Mark Summers]

But the most they ever offered me and, you know, was a hundred thousand dollars a year to be on the road. 360 days. No kidding. But, you know, that's all those guys made, Heenan. And all those guys, they got, they got 100 grand. That was pretty much it.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Mark Summers]

And it was very sad towards the end because Bobby didn't have a lot of money. And then he got very sick and, you know, a sad ending there. And, you know, nobody from the organization who had millions of dollars were there to help him any way, shape or form. So.

[Josh Arnold]

Were you ever a guest referee?

[Mark Summers]

No, no, no, I did. I wish I would have been a part of that stuff, but no. And I never thought I would be a good broadcaster because I want to do real stuff. And that was always phony, fakey stuff. Sure entertaining to certain people, not me.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of real, what temperature was the slime?

[Mark Summers]

Well, did they.

[Tom Griswold]

Was it freezing cold or.

[Mark Summers]

We would make 100 pounds of fresh whipped cream every day. Okay. And when you first get it in the morning, it's cold. And as the day sits under those hot lights, we would fill this tank full of £5,000 of baked beans or whatever it would throughout the day, become a little rancid. And one of the worst days we ever had was we put in the baked beans. And after three days, you couldn't walk in the studio. It smelled like a garbage pit. So the question is, how do you get rid of £5,000 of baked beans? So we tried to get shovels and put them in these large garbage, garbage bags, but the bags kept breaking. So we called in a septic tank guy, you know, the guys that come in with hip waiters or whatever. And he sucked out the beans. He had no idea why. He said, why do you have £5,000 of beans in there? You know, and it's. And he was from Philly and he still talked like that, but nonetheless, he sucked all those beans out. So, you know, there are stories about, you know, we were making it up as we went along, quite honestly.

[Tom Griswold]

Is there going to be another episode episode that you get to host of Double Dare down the road?

[Mark Summers]

I, I can't imagine. You know, Nickelodeon kind of hardly exists anymore if it wasn't for spongebob. If you ask a kid today what Nickelodeon is, they can't tell you. It's not like.

[Tom Griswold]

But wouldn't, wouldn't the folks that were kids back then want to see you do it again?

[Mark Summers]

The people who grew up on it who are in their 40s now would go out of their mind to do a grown up version of it, but Nickelodeon seems to have no interest in that.

[Tom Griswold]

But wouldn't another net work?

[Mark Summers]

They, they, you know, would have to.

[Tom Griswold]

Buy it from MSNBC and Fox finally get together and something. We agree about this.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, man.

[Christy Lee]

Would you do it, Josh? You're in your 40s. You're one of these young men.

[Josh Arnold]

Would I go on double there? Absolutely.

[Christy Lee]

That's what I thought.

[Mark Summers]

The last tour we did, we would do the meet and greets backstage. And a lot of times it was people your age coming back. And I'd say, where are the kids? They say, oh, hell, we want to have a good time on our own. They leave the kids at home.

[Josh Arnold]

It was. Was appointment viewing for my family.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. So, you know, I was honored to be, you know, whatever Soupy Sales was to me growing up, I was to a particular generation. And it was able to transfer over to Food Network. And the people who started watching me at Nick followed me over there.

[Josh Arnold]

I remember specific jokes you did.

[Tom Griswold]

I remember.

[Chick McGee]

Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, yeah. I remember one. You're coming back from break and they were playing, oh, Johnny Winter's the Spy Song.

[Chick McGee]

Right.

[Josh Arnold]

You remember? What was that? Oh, Secret Agent Manny. You were doing this dance and I still picture and it was as funny as anything.

[Mark Summers]

It was all ad lib.

[Chick McGee]

We made it up as we went along.

[Mark Summers]

That's what I loved about it.

[Josh Arnold]

Even as a kid, I knew.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you guys. Did you guys have a meeting prior to each? Because you said you did six in a day.

[Mark Summers]

Six in a day. And then we would bring kids in from the area and test physical challenges. And if they weren't done at least three times, we weren't allowed to do them. So this is a crazy story. So they did a physical challenge where there was a mailbox, you know, 20, 20ft on the other side of the stage, and they had paper airplanes. And the thing was, you had to get one airplane in the mailbox. And I said, come on, let's not do. This is stupid. Nobody can do that. And then the producer said, well, now that you said that, we're going to do it. So the next day, first physical challenge, they bring out a mailbox and here's 20 paper planes. And I looked at the camera and I said, okay, let me tell you what happened last night. We tried this physical challenge and it couldn't get done. And I said, this is the dumbest idea I've ever seen in my life. So you've got 20 seconds to get a paper airplane into that mailbox, into. If you do, I'll give you My house. Okay. On your mark, get set, go. And the first damn airplane went right into the mailbox.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

And that kid really enjoyed my place. Yeah, yeah. True story.

[Tom Griswold]

Our guest is Mark Summers, television guy. And once again, with the holiday seasons down the road a little bit, the Hallmark channel is going to be featuring his holiday movie which is Hanukkah on the Rise. Now do they tell you when it's coming back on? Do you get like a little notice so you know to watch or is it just.

[Mark Summers]

I just look for the mailbox in the, in the. Yeah, that's what I look forward there.

[Tom Griswold]

You start getting emails from your friends. Oh yeah, yeah.

[Mark Summers]

You did this. Yeah. It's so funny. Amazing. No. You go to autograph shows.

[Josh Arnold]

I do, yeah. I, I'd like to go to one of the holiday, the Hallmark convention conventions because I have my favorites, my favorite leads that are. But I've been to mostly horror conventions. Yeah, yeah.

[Chick McGee]

H O R R O R. Yes.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah. I've yet to go to the W.

[Mark Summers]

Who's autograph would you like that you haven't gotten yet?

[Josh Arnold]

I haven't gotten Robert England's autograph who played Freddy Krueger, of course. But he's also a classically trained actor, so. Yeah, that probably be number one.

[Mark Summers]

And what would be the most you would spend for an autograph boy?

[Josh Arnold]

For him, I don't know what he charges but if I, if it were like a picture with him and an 8 by 10 signed, I'd pay 80 bucks, 100 bucks.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah. I mean it's amazing what some of these people charge. Yeah, people pay it, you know, it's.

[Josh Arnold]

Mind boggling listening to them, listening to everybody. They seem to really enjoy the celebrities seem to really enjoy it because they're just beloved.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

They're just around the world, they say the nicest things.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

And you can't believe you had that much of an impact on a particular, you know, group of humans.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

And it is flattering, I will say.

[Josh Arnold]

That horror conventions are interesting because you'd think they'd be, you know. Well, yeah, there's a lot of weirdos and misfits and stuff, but it's the most positive place. They're not. There's nothing dark about it. It's all very, very celebratory and happy. It's interesting.

[Tom Griswold]

I went with him to see Elvis.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh yeah. I got my picture with Elvira. Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

Known her for years. I was a warm up guy on Alice and she used to do a lot of bit parts on there all the time.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, nice.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, yeah. Nice lady. Very nice.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you do those?

[Mark Summers]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

The autograph.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, yeah. My next one is in Minneapolis, first weekend of.

[Tom Griswold]

And do you personalize them as, you know, two bill. Oh, yeah.

[Mark Summers]

100. And, you know, they have handlers there. Thank Evans. Because people want to sit and talk to you for 15 minutes and tell you stories about the time they. They build an obstacle course in their dining room and their parents wanted to have them put to sleep and things like that. And, you know, you have to be nice. But on the same token, the longer you talk, that's the fewer you sign. And, you know, you get paid on a.

[Tom Griswold]

Per autograph.

[Mark Summers]

Per autograph, exactly. And then I bring merchandise. I have all the merchandise from the last Nickelodeon tour. So I bring that stuff and sell T shirts and sweatshirts and hats and, you know.

[Tom Griswold]

But you don't have your own line of shoes.

[Mark Summers]

No, I do not notice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

Rebox. That's. That. That was actually.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a tough merch. You have to have all the sizes.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if anybody does that. What is the oddest, like, rock band merch that's out there? There have to be some weird things.

[Mark Summers]

I would imagine, right?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

I mean, Dunham sells his puppets.

[Mark Summers]

Yes, he does.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, that's right.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, he does.

[Mark Summers]

Yes. That man is worth a fortune.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, he.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay.

[Mark Summers]

He's a very smart man, too. Very smart man.

[Josh Arnold]

He seems to be.

[Mark Summers]

And his following is unbelievable. And ventriloquism, since America's Got Talent has exploded. You know, there were several years there where nobody knew what a ventriloquist was. And now they're. They're seemingly all over the place in Vegas especially.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you have any puppets when you. I know you were a magician as a kid. Did you have any Jerry Mahoney or Knucklehead Smith?

[Mark Summers]

I wasn't particularly good at it. I did have a dinner with Paul Winchell before he passed away. That was quite fascinating.

[Chick McGee]

Wow.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, he was.

[Tom Griswold]

Paul Winchell was a scientist also. Besides being a ventriloquist, he worked on heart valve.

[Josh Arnold]

Now when you make like a sandwich.

[Mark Summers]

Talk or anything, I can't tell you what he made talk.

[Tom Griswold]

I just wanted to.

[Mark Summers]

But it was black and blue as well. But, hey, what can I tell you?

[Tom Griswold]

I just wanted to be at the Senior Wences funeral, you know? You know, people had to walk up to the casket. I'm sorry. Right now, the Bob and Tom show is brought to by BetterHelp.

[Chick McGee]

Hey, welcome back to the Bob and Tom Show. We're in the O'Reilly Auto Parts Studio, and that is Christy Lee Lee.

[Christy Lee]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

And there's Pat Godwin.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello.

[Chick McGee]

Josh Arnold.

[Josh Arnold]

Hi.

[Chick McGee]

Ace Cosby. Hey, I am Chick McGee. Hello, Tom. We've got that one on a special guest buddy.

[Tom Griswold]

He is Mark Summers. Mark is a, an actor, a comedian, a voiceover guy.

[Chick McGee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And he's got a great book out there called Everything in Its Place. Terrific. His story about, as I said earlier, his adventures with OC and then did you, I remember hearing, didn't you get into some kind of argument with someone about some of the medication you were taking? That got pretty nasty.

[Mark Summers]

Well, I would go to these classes to try and, you know, fix the problem. And we had this one guy, he was a phlebotomist. Okay. So he took blood out of people.

[Tom Griswold]

Blood guy. Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

And he, he was phobic. Germ phobic. And he would come to the meeting every week and say, I want to stop doing this. But he wouldn't and he wouldn't take his meds. And after a while, you kind of say, you know, I'm not here to hear you complain on a weekly basis. Do you want to get better or not? Because I really, you know, I've never done drugs or alcohol, but I'm assuming it's the same thing. Until you're ready to kick that stuff, you're not going to do it. And to come and say, I want to get better and then don't do anything. And yes, I finally said to him, look, one of us has to leave. Either you got to keep, you know, on your meds and try to get better, or I'm leaving. And he said, see you later. And I left.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, but you're fine now?

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, I'm okay. You know, I mean, I don't think I'm ever going to be normal, but, you know, I work on it a daily. Yeah. What is normal?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, yeah. Don't look around this room.

[Chick McGee]

No, no.

[Tom Griswold]

We're all dented cans.

[Mark Summers]

I've been doing this show for 25 years and, you know, you guys are the most professional. I do two shows on a fairly regular basis. You and Preston and Steve in Philly. And just the professionalism, it's hard to find these days, but we're all sort of pioneers in doing this in broadcasting, and it doesn't exist so much anymore.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, well, that's very kind.

[Josh Arnold]

We certainly appreciate you saying that.

[Chick McGee]

That's being professional.

[Tom Griswold]

Speaking of professional, Christy Lee is a professional broadcaster. Oh, and let's do a couple quick stories from the SILEC Insurance news desk. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

A South Carolina man wearing a Spider man costume rescued two people stuck in a waterfall.

[Tom Griswold]

Huh?

[Christy Lee]

How do you get stuck in a waterfall?

[Chick McGee]

Well, don't chase them.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, you don't go chasing waterfall.

[Christy Lee]

The 18 year old local superhero dubbed Greenville Spider Man, Spider Pig does whatever.

[Chick McGee]

A Spider Pig does.

[Christy Lee]

Sprung into action when two people needed help at Falls Park. He told the station, quote, so I saw one of them almost slip and fall. And I was like, all right, this is time, I gotta go. I booked over there and then grabbed my wrist and I pulled him up.

[Chick McGee]

And he used the term book.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he booked. When not rescuing people. Rescuing?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

She is a professional broadcaster.

[Christy Lee]

When not rescuing people, Greenville Spider man spends his time picking up litter, meeting fans and listening to an EMS scanner to help people in need.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, here's that damn Spider Man. All the police.

[Tom Griswold]

He's got the outfit on there.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, yeah, he's a social media sensation. Look at that. That.

[Mark Summers]

I think he's been on the web too long.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, he describes himself as a problem, huh? A friendly downtown Spider Man. He's been busier than ever lately. Especially after a recent Lululemon robbery.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh yeah.

[Christy Lee]

And reports of lights downtown.

[Tom Griswold]

I wonder if he wears a Lululemon Spider man suit. Because, you know, with. With elasticity coming comes comes great responsibility.

[Mark Summers]

The most expensive store in America, I think, is Lululemon. How much is that pair of socks? $80.

[Tom Griswold]

I think I'll pass.

[Christy Lee]

Right. He says after those incidents, he shifted most of his patrols downtown to nighttime. So he's out there on the prowl in Greenville.

[Josh Arnold]

Boy, I can't imagine the authorities love this.

[Tom Griswold]

And now he's going to be doing it at night in the bad neighborhood. Good luck, Spider Man. Yeah, the cops can't be too happy about it.

[Josh Arnold]

Okay, but he did save those people. What are you gonna do?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he did.

[Tom Griswold]

But again, how do you get stuck in a waterfall? What kind of idiot.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I mean if that picture. They look like they were kind of high up. They weren't at the bottom of the waterfall.

[Mark Summers]

Mushrooms again.

[Tom Griswold]

Ah, the mushroom hiker.

[Chick McGee]

Guys.

[Christy Lee]

Hey, if you're going to China, there's a public bathroom that forces users to watch an ad before it will dispense any toilet paper.

[Mark Summers]

That's what just what you and I want.

[Chick McGee]

Hurry up.

[Christy Lee]

I'm kind of surprised they even have toilet paper in China. I mean, what.

[Mark Summers]

Well, you gotta use something, don't you?

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. In a now viral video shared by China Insider, a young woman at a public toilet scans a QR code with her phone.

[Chick McGee]

China Insider job an ad before activating.

[Christy Lee]

The wall mounted toilet paper holder to release a strip of toilet paper. 1 A strip is what it says. According to the news outlet, users have the option to watch an ad on their phone or pay about 7 cents for every strip of toilet paper they need.

[Chick McGee]

Man.

[Christy Lee]

The pay wall dispenser. Part of a larger effort in China to cut down on toilet paper. I don't use.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think I've ever used one square. Tom, how about you?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Chick McGee]

No. Yeah, you load it up, right?

[Tom Griswold]

Got a lot of trees we can go.

[Mark Summers]

No one's.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

One strip.

[Chick McGee]

One.

[Josh Arnold]

I don't understand.

[Tom Griswold]

I. If it's 7 cents square, I'm okay. I can.

[Mark Summers]

The worst part is having to touch your phone after all that.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh God.

[Chick McGee]

And we always have. We had that story a bunch about how dirty your phone is.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. They did a thing at one of the malls and they checked phones and 99% of them had E. Coli on them. And it's.

[Mark Summers]

The worst is on going up on an estimate escalator though. They say in touching the.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't.

[Mark Summers]

No, I don't get near it.

[Tom Griswold]

I balance. But on a hazmat seat, it's like surfing.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Chick McGee]

Do you do the surfing motion?

[Mark Summers]

Can you show us that?

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, I like that.

[Josh Arnold]

The endless escalator and then do you.

[Tom Griswold]

Take your shirt tail and open bathroom doors and.

[Josh Arnold]

No, I don't use my shirt.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you take, like, the last paper towel?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

The places that only have the air dryer.

[Mark Summers]

Oh, I hate those.

[Josh Arnold]

Yep, me too.

[Tom Griswold]

Then. Then I got. Then I've got. It's got to be shirt tail or you go back and get toilet paper to touch the door.

[Mark Summers]

But I don't want to touch the toilet paper.

[Josh Arnold]

Right, right.

[Chick McGee]

Some of those shirts have.

[Mark Summers]

I'd have to sell the shirt or.

[Josh Arnold]

I won't use the.

[Christy Lee]

I know chicks are. Say the foot.

[Chick McGee]

The foot lever.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, well, the foot thing.

[Chick McGee]

Those are great.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, if it's a push door.

[Mark Summers]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

But if you got a pull.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, you can pull.

[Josh Arnold]

You can pull with the foot thing.

[Christy Lee]

Yes, they have a thing where you.

[Josh Arnold]

Can pull, but they don't appreciate. Always have that.

[Mark Summers]

Do you see the signs in some bathrooms now that says please don't use your foot?

[Christy Lee]

No.

[Mark Summers]

Yes, I've seen those recently.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you mean on the handle?

[Mark Summers]

Yes, because apparently it damages the handle.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, people are just stepping down too hard.

[Mark Summers]

I guess so.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I'm not obeying that sign.

[Christy Lee]

Me either.

[Tom Griswold]

And I'm not. I'm not averse to walking over and hitting the automatic door button with my elbow. Oh, yeah, I just did that yesterday. Went to the dermatologist. Walk up to the front door and look over. Oh, there's.

[Chick McGee]

Over there.

[Tom Griswold]

Walk over.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, you mean for the handicap door thing.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, so you don't touch the hand?

[Tom Griswold]

I don't have to touch the door.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

Boy, we're solving the world's problem.

[Tom Griswold]

Then I got in, and there was a. I walked in and there was a lady coming in, too, and she. We could both got in the elevator at the same time.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, my God.

[Tom Griswold]

Then we had the stereotypes. Who's gonna touch that filthy elevator button?

[Josh Arnold]

I use my knuckle.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, yeah, like that makes you feel better, but it's basically the same.

[Josh Arnold]

I know, but I'm not. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

And then I immediately sanitize when I get up to the.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, God.

[Chick McGee]

Why don't you carry a handkerchief with you? That seems like that's disgusting.

[Tom Griswold]

When I was a kid.

[Chick McGee]

No, you wouldn't blow your nose in it. But I mean, touching things.

[Tom Griswold]

No, but then it's got all the germs on it.

[Chick McGee]

Okay.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I was in a restaurant the other day and a guy was blowing his nose in a napkin and then left it on the table. Yeah. As a tip. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

I mean, people are so uncouth that he would think that now somebody has to pick that.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, That's a bummer.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah.

[Christy Lee]

You need to eat in nicer places.

[Tom Griswold]

What are you eating? This should be a man. New talk show. Welcome to what's Disgusting? Today's guest.

[Christy Lee]

This is disgusting. It's a condition called jet belly. Have you ever heard of this?

[Tom Griswold]

No.

[Mark Summers]

What is that?

[Christy Lee]

It's the feeling of uncomfortable intestinal gas during a flight.

[Mark Summers]

Had that yesterday.

[Christy Lee]

Experts recommend an odd trick to find relief. They call it.

[Mark Summers]

What?

[Chick McGee]

Farting. Is it farting? I bet it's farting.

[Christy Lee]

They call it milking your gas.

[Josh Arnold]

How does this work?

[Christy Lee]

Dr. Brennan Spiegel @ Cedar Sinai told the New York Times.

[Mark Summers]

That's Spiegel, Chicago 60609.

[Tom Griswold]

By the way, he's got his own catalog.

[Chick McGee]

They're Spiegel.

[Christy Lee]

That so called jet belly. The bloating and cramping many people get on airplanes occurs when increased pressure in the cabin causes the intestines to inflate. That makes sense. To alleviate this discomfort, you can perform a jet belly release by placing your hand about 2 to 3 inches below your belly button. You can't do this right now, Tom. And massaging gently but firmly toward your right side in the direction of the. Your right hip bone.

[Tom Griswold]

By the pet. Just two or three inches. Yeah. If you go any deeper, they're going to call security.

[Christy Lee]

Dr. Spiegel explained, quote, keep doing this to help milk gas into the colon where it can be released more easily.

[Mark Summers]

Where do you find these stories?

[Christy Lee]

That guy right over there. Though this might.

[Tom Griswold]

This is from the new discrete. This is in the New York Post.

[Christy Lee]

This might mean a discreet mid flight toot, according to Dr. Spiegel.

[Chick McGee]

Followed by. By a Whoa.

[Tom Griswold]

There's additional information.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, God.

[Tom Griswold]

That's better. Dr. Spiegel says if you're still feeling bloated, Dr. Spiegel recommends doing seat twists by rotating your torso side to side to help mobilize your intestines.

[Chick McGee]

And then once you're thrown off the plane, you can.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd like to see. Wouldn't this be funny if they made the flight attendants do this? Okay. When the oxygen mass drops down, you're going to have to have. If you have children, you got to do them first. And if you really have A gas issue. You got to go like this. If you're sitting near an exit, please open the window before passing. Wow.

[Christy Lee]

Do you have this problem?

[Tom Griswold]

No, I've never had this issue. I don't know what.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, I don't either.

[Tom Griswold]

I don't. I. If I'm going to fly, I don't drink or eat anything.

[Christy Lee]

You're supposed to drink on a flight. I know when to get dehydrated.

[Chick McGee]

No, I don't.

[Tom Griswold]

I'd rather be dehydrated.

[Mark Summers]

I don't want to get up and use the bathroom. But don't drink coffee or tea on a flight because they never change those, you know, containers where they are and.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, okay, how about this one? You're in a hotel room, Mark Summers. You used to stay at some nice hotels. You're at some convention, Right. I would, of course, get up and go down to the coffee place or a restaurant. Do you ever make the coffee in the room and use that coffee maker?

[Mark Summers]

I don't drink coffee, number one.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, that's a shame. Yes.

[Mark Summers]

But no, I wouldn't touch it because God knows that thing probably hasn't been cleaned.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, there was a. There was a Internet rumor a few years ago that stewardesses, flight attendants would put their hosiery in those. And they're delicates. They're delicate things. Underwear and clean them. And I don't know if it's true or not, but I think for some men, that might be kind of a turn. Oh, this. This coffee tastes.

[Josh Arnold]

These Lululemon notes of Sally Stockings.

[Chick McGee]

I don't think ladies wear hosiery.

[Mark Summers]

That's a term I haven't heard in ages.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, stick around. He's just scratching the surface. So.

[Tom Griswold]

So this is called. What is it?

[Christy Lee]

Jelly Jet Belly.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, jet belly. Okay.

[Chick McGee]

Jelly belly.

[Tom Griswold]

That's a blues man. It toots his horn.

[Chick McGee]

Jelly Belly Wilson.

[Tom Griswold]

I see. Okay. Well, that. Thank you, Christy.

[Christy Lee]

Sure.

[Tom Griswold]

And thanks to Mark Summers. Mark. If people want to find out about Mark Summers, where do they go, real.

[Mark Summers]

Mark Summers on, you know, all those lovely social media things.

[Tom Griswold]

And you're an M A R C.

[Mark Summers]

Marc S U M M E R S. Did you.

[Tom Griswold]

I know that it's a professional stage.

[Mark Summers]

Yes.

[Tom Griswold]

Did you go through a bunch of them?

[Mark Summers]

Well, I tried. I was a disc jockey in Elwood, Indiana, as a kid. I. I was Mark Vaughn. For some reason, I have no idea why I was Mark Vaughn, but when I woke up one morning and they said, oh, the Son of Sam has been captured, and his name is David Berkowitz, well, My real name is Mark Berkowitz. And the phone rang 10 minutes later and it was my agent saying, you gotta change your name because there's no way I'm gonna be able to get you a job. And there was a disc jockey in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I grew up. His name was Dick Summer on wife radio and I added an S and became Mark Summers and the rest is history.

[Chick McGee]

That's cool.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, a good choice.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah.

[Mark Summers]

Well, back in the day, it was one syllable first names, two syllable last names. If you wanted to get a job in broadcasting, why that was, I have no idea. But yeah, Mark Summers has worked. Berkowitz couldn't get a job at Summers did. So what can I tell you?

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, it's kind of gone the other way now.

[Mark Summers]

Yeah, now that you can, if you listen to Edwin Kowsnowski.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. But you'll see, especially on NPR, Mohammed O'Reilly Firestein.

[Christy Lee]

There was a gal this morning during a report on.

[Tom Griswold]

Whoa.

[Christy Lee]

Glad I didn't have to intro that.

[Chick McGee]

I'm Lakshmi Spur.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Hello, Chick Magee. I was just, we were just talking to our guest, Mark Summers. And I was, I was trying to just sort of dig up some info on him here at the end. And it turns out he's friends with Rocky Laporte, the comedian. And I bring this up because Rocky was in a really serious act accident and he still requires round the clock care. Currently wheelchair mountain. Terrific guy, great comedian, family man. And if you'd like to make a contribution, I think you can go to Facebook. I think it is with or just, just Google Rocky Laporte and it's la P o R T E if you remember Rocky, a very nice guy. And we'll maybe come up with something on Monday that we can, we can play for you. Is this Rocky where it says school? Okay. Oh, this, this, this is Rocky right here, I think. Did they give you the nickname Rocky, because you look kind of like sliced alone or. No, they named me after my grandmother.

[Josh Arnold]

Really?

[Tom Griswold]

Grandma Rocky. I'll bet she was tough. Wow. Where'd you go to school? I went to school. I went to Princeton. Really?

[Josh Arnold]

Middle school.

[Chick McGee]

Not that utter.

[Tom Griswold]

You got to be a wiz to get in the ass.

[Mark Summers]

That's how I got in there.

[Chick McGee]

I go, I gotta take a wheeze.

[Josh Arnold]

And you're in.

[Tom Griswold]

No, I went to a school. Our lady of Shrapnel.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, man, that's good.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, yeah, Rocky. Yeah, it's the best. It's a go. It's a gofundme. And he. He was in a real serious, real nice guy.

[Christy Lee]

Real nice.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah, and he does look just like Stallone.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

You see his pictures? Anyway, friend of the show and I just found out about this. This. So some sad news. Also, we found out that Mike Armstrong is having some pretty serious health problems.

[Christy Lee]

I believe there's a. I'll get you more information on it, but I think some of the comics are getting together to do a benefit.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay, cool. Yeah. And I. I'm not aware of that, but yeah, we'll. We'll certainly look into that.

[Christy Lee]

Thanks very much. I know.

[Tom Griswold]

Now it's our time to once again check in with. Oh, I know what I wanted to do. I wanted to remind you that we have our NFL contest back up and running now. There's one game gone already. Yeah, but there's still time.

[Chick McGee]

Missed that one.

[Tom Griswold]

And you can get all your picks. The Chick McGee picks are found where?

[Chick McGee]

On the Bob and Tom socials, I believe, and also at my Instagram. The chick McGee. It's up there. You'll see my face. And.

[Tom Griswold]

And Chick is a C, H, I.

[Chick McGee]

C, k. That's right, McGe.

[Tom Griswold]

As opposed to a chic.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, no, I don't know who. Why would you would spell it that way? But some do.

[Tom Griswold]

Because Reggie used to always call.

[Chick McGee]

Yes, but that was a different, different time.

[Tom Griswold]

It's a good time.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, it was a good time.

[Christy Lee]

Oh, it was a great time.

[Tom Griswold]

Damn good time.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, sorry. I'm doing David Lee Roth songs. Christy Lee is over there at the Silac Insurance news desk. What's happening?

[Christy Lee]

Well, in Rotterdam, a new project's being bringing agriculture to the water. The floating farm, described as the world's first seaborne dairy farm has opened in the city's harbor.

[Chick McGee]

Let me ask you this. Do you think Rotterdam was a.

[Tom Griswold]

Underwater.

[Chick McGee]

And they said, well, you can stay here or we can build a dam. You can rot or you can dam a Fair question. The water will rot your home or we can dam.

[Josh Arnold]

A fair question.

[Chick McGee]

First of all, thank you, Tom, very much. I appreciate it.

[Christy Lee]

Kind of made sense.

[Tom Griswold]

So it's.

[Chick McGee]

Doesn't it make sense there?

[Tom Griswold]

So it's a. It's a barge with cows on it.

[Christy Lee]

Well, I hadn't gotten that far. Yeah. The three story pontoon barge is home to 32 dairy cows. Three stories kept on the top level. Co founder Minky Van Wine.

[Chick McGee]

Is this your Minky chimpanzee? Minky.

[Tom Griswold]

His first name is Minky.

[Christy Lee]

M I N K e. That's Minky. Minky Van Wine Garden says the farm is designed to demonstrate how food production can adapt in crowded urban environments where land is scarce.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, I see it. So they're kind of testing. Hey, are we going to be able to do.

[Tom Griswold]

There it is. It looks kind of. It looks kind of like a float boat.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah. It's moored in an underused section of the harbor and aims to produce milk and other dairy products for local residents. A float boat while reducing transportation.

[Chick McGee]

Pontoon.

[Christy Lee]

That's what they call it. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

All boats close to a sink boat.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, you don't want to.

[Josh Arnold]

Which aren't very good.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, it's not like a. A schooner or a yacht or time out. And it's not even a bar.

[Josh Arnold]

It actually looks nothing like a pontoon boat.

[Tom Griswold]

An iceberg boat is kind of light.

[Chick McGee]

It looks more like a houseboat.

[Tom Griswold]

So here's my question.

[Chick McGee]

Yeah, yeah, go ahead, brainiac.

[Tom Griswold]

So obviously you've got cows in this thing. They're going to be pooping everywhere.

[Josh Arnold]

Yeah, One of those Water.

[Tom Griswold]

Do you just. You just heave it off the side?

[Josh Arnold]

Well, I'd say so.

[Chick McGee]

I would imagine.

[Tom Griswold]

Well, that can't be good for the harbor.

[Chick McGee]

Catfish probably eat it. Yeah.

[Josh Arnold]

Oh, yeah. You get your bottom feeders. It'll love to.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, you think so?

[Josh Arnold]

Suck up those.

[Chick McGee]

Oh, absolutely.

[Tom Griswold]

Oh, the whole harbor is going to stink then.

[Josh Arnold]

It already does. It's Rotterdam.

[Chick McGee]

It's cow feces for two.

[Tom Griswold]

Two. What did. What did Noah do?

[Christy Lee]

What did Noah. On the ark?

[Chick McGee]

Well, he. One of each. A boy and a girl. Of all the animals except overboard. The unicorns were laid. Yeah, that's why we don't have.

[Tom Griswold]

I mean, think about the fecal problem on the ark.

[Christy Lee]

Yeah, he just dumped it overboard.

[Chick McGee]

Didn't he have like water? Didn't he have like 10 or 20 kids or something?

[Josh Arnold]

He probably had a few hands. One of his sons. Yeah.

[Tom Griswold]

Yeah. Help them out. What if they took off from the dock and there were no shots, shovels. Oh, well, Jason, you're gonna have to use your hands. Yeah, you had one to start with the moose.

[Chick McGee]

Remember the show? What was Noah's last name? Wasn't like Bernbach or something?

[Josh Arnold]

Yes, he became a famous screenwriter and Director.

[Tom Griswold]

Wiley with 30. 30 dairy cows. Yep, they got it. That means they gotta milk them in the morning and first thing. And this is a. This is a problem.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, they're making sure this will be feasible for some.

[Tom Griswold]

It's gonna be Poop Lagoon.

[Christy Lee]

Only in your mind.

[Josh Arnold]

Well, that was one of Brooke Shields lesser movies.

[Tom Griswold]

Actually, that was a sequel. Some people thought that was very, very Rowan. Rowan. Rowan.

[Chick McGee]

Keep those cows of blowing.

[Tom Griswold]

I'm sorry.

[Chick McGee]

With the. Speaking of that and Chimpanzee Minky. Why hasn't Rowan Atkinson redone any of the Pink Panthers? What's his. Why is he dragging his feet on this? I'm sorry, go ahead.

[Josh Arnold]

That's a good question. I heard was. They are. They're doing a new one.

[Tom Griswold]

Okay.

[Josh Arnold]

It's Eddie Murphy.

[Chick McGee]

I know it's Eddie Murphy.
