Episode Overview

The September 18, 2025 episode of The BOB & TOM Show delivers its signature blend of comedy, news, music, sports talk, and lively banter among long-time hosts and guest comedians. With Christy Lee out in Las Vegas, Shara Lasley steps in at the news desk. The crew discusses everything from NFL bets, pet peeves, pop culture nostalgia, and unique world records, to tales of animal misadventure and oddball listener letters. Pat Godwin performs a couple of musical parodies, and comedian Al Jackson checks in for a hilarious lesson in "street" vocabulary. Throughout, the show’s defining playful, irreverent, and occasionally chaotic tone is front and center.

Key Segments & Discussion Highlights

1. Opening & Song Performance

[01:32] – [04:38]

• Pat Godwin kicks off with a live comedy song, “It’s A Great Day For Me to Whoop Somebody’s Ass,” which spirals through verses about everyday mishaps and escalating, hilarious retribution.

  “So you better get off my back, you might get cold-cocked if you cross my path, cause it’s a great day for me to whoop somebody’s ass.” – Pat Godwin ([03:14])

2. Name-Game Banter & Musical Nostalgia

[05:14] – [08:25]

• Hosts riff on Shara’s unusual name, leading to ribbing around pop culture references (“She-Ra,” “He-Man”) and a detour into oldies music. Bob complains about the Four Seasons’ “Sherry” and rails against how songs became hits (“just coke for DJs”). This triggers debate over music industry practices and Broadway show tastes.

  "I make the contention that the only reason any of these songs were hits was because of the record guys giving cocaine to disc jockeys back in the day." – Bob Kevoian ([07:06])

3. NFL/Pigskin Picks & Betting Chat

[08:25] – [10:23]

• The Pigskin Picks contest is promoted; recent winner Paul Sugars is mentioned and contest rules discussed. Chick gives betting tips (with a wink: “take last week’s losses and triple that bet!”) and declares tonight’s Dolphins-Bills game a “massacre” in the making.

  “Miami getting 12? That’s not enough!” – Chick McGee ([09:26])

4. Songs People Love, But The Hosts Hate

[19:16] – [26:55]

• A listener provides a list of Chick’s irrational hatreds: fireworks, Dolly Parton’s voice (“I like her as a person, just not the music”), Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” Brian Johnson of AC/DC (“I’d stand there yelling ‘Bon Scott!’”), flavor of mint, and the Amazing Kreskin, among others. This snowballs into a full roundtable: which hit songs does each host despise that the public loves?

  “Hate’s a strong word. I like Dolly as a person. I would never say, ‘I need to hear 9 to 5.’” – Chick McGee ([20:09])
  “Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers—my brain doesn’t care for whatever’s happening.” – Tom Griswold ([26:02])

5. Listener Letters: Life’s Oddities & Medical Moments

[28:47] – [33:01]

• Topics include funny names for household items (“clothes shampoo” and “laundry fuel”), creative names for campers (“Cram-a-lot-In”), and a medical curiosity: multiple listeners share about getting a “charley horse in the taint” during a sneeze.

  “My son, I’m so proud of him. He’s a taint doctor.” – Bob Kevoian ([30:54])

6. Sports & Pop Culture: From Anaconda Movie Trailers to World Records

[10:23] – [12:28]; [71:50] – [73:41]

• Buzz about a new “Anaconda” movie trailer leads to vintage movie talk. Later, the show covers the “World Cup of Grave Digging,” wherein teams compete to dig graves quickly and fill them in—leading to snarky commentary.

  “The Russians have had a lot of practice going…” — Bob Kevoian ([63:59])

7. Science & Nature News

[110:51] – [114:00]

• Discussing Reddit’s viral “How do you know a couple won’t make it?” thread (“If they already have marriage-level ‘ups and downs’ early on, they’re doomed”). Later, the discovery of a tiny “quasi-moon” orbiting Earth is met with as many jokes as facts.

8. Weed Law & Border Town Commerce

[49:39] – [56:56]

• The panel debates marijuana legality and cross-border “weed tourism.” Tom coins “New Puffalo” for New Buffalo, Michigan—a popular spot near the Indiana border for out-of-staters to legally buy cannabis, likening it to cross-border fireworks and cigarettes sales.

  "Apparently a lot of folks are coming across the border, buying their goods and then driving back to the other state south of there, if you know what I’m saying." – Bob Kevoian ([51:28])

9. Pat Godwin Musical Parodies & Old Folks’ Home STDs

[43:18] – [45:56]

• Pat sings a comedic original inspired by rising STI rates in retirement communities:

  “Let’s do it on our first date... If you’re airing Depends, I’ll just hose off that ass!” – Pat Godwin ([45:14])

10. Animal Encounters & Listener Letters

[92:42] – [95:09]

• News covers a Florida woman punching an alligator to rescue her dog (“Dax”), with Pat Godwin performing a “Jim Croce Operator” parody: “Alligator, why’d you have to eat that dog?”

  “I punched the five-foot-long reptile repeatedly until it let go of her puppy…” – Shara Lasley ([93:09])

11. Bathroom Humor & The Joy of Bidets

[131:01] – [133:38]

• Extended tangent on hotel bathrooms, bidets, and “poop paranoia” in relationships.

  "Once some warm water hits there, you’re never the same—like dating a black woman." – Al Jackson ([135:12])
  "I was engaged for seven years… I never evacuated anything in front of or even talked about it with him. My body knows not to allow it in public." – Shara Lasley ([133:07])

12. Al Jackson’s Word of the Week: “Yiffin’”

[135:41] – [138:09]

• Al Jackson explains “yiffin’” — sexual encounters among “furries” (people who dress in anthropomorphic animal costumes), sending the studio into fits:

  "When furries have sex, it’s called ‘yiffin.’" – Al Jackson ([138:05])

13. Games, Quizzes & Nostalgia: Addams Family & Color TV

[79:34] – [86:04]

• Tom quizzes the cast on TV history—the Addams Family and color TV lore, which triggers nostalgia for old “TV Guide” quirks and childhood favorites.

14. Listener Stories: Bizarre Accidents & Old Habits

[37:00] – [39:05]; [104:01] – [105:38]

• Incidents of forgetting to turn off cars (“It’ll run all day!”) and a letter about farting bubbles in the shower (and how it looks like a scene from The Lawrence Welk Show).
