Heavy Metal's
Favorite TV Family
There aren’t many entertainers who could be Heavy Metal's “Prince of Darkness,” and television’s highest rated loving father at the same time, but that’s exactly what Ozzy Osbourne has done. As his smash hit cable reality show, The Osbournes, enters its third season on MTV, ‘The Madman’ is gearing up for another summer of rock with his Ozzfest music tour. This legendary rock extravaganza will include Ozzy and many other big time metal bands like Korn and Marilyn Manson. Sharon Osbourne, (who created Ozzfest after Ozzy was turned down from touring with another summer music festival which went out of business just one year later) will be featured in a taped interview today you won't want to miss.

FACTOID – The Osbournes, the highest rated basic cable show of all time, got its start after Ozzy’s house was featured on an episode of MTV’s Cribs.

Tim Wilson is Back for More Abuse!
You can never get too much of a good thing, however, this theory might not apply to comedian Tim Wilson. Guests of the show rarely more outspoken or more controversial than Tim. Whether he's talking about his love life (a stripper with a new fur coat) or his philosophies on any and everything else, BOB&TOM often have to play a disclaimer whenever Wilson opens his mouth. Not to say we don’t find him hysterically funny, we just do everything in our power to disassociated ourselves with him. Timmy is well known for his love of NASCAR, and his racing tributes, but during his previous visit (last week) we got a taste of something new. Tim has gone retro with his new album Super Bad Sounds of the 70's.
VIP Members can hear some of these tunes on the Tim Wilson Audio Page.

Shoes Say A Lot, That's Why They Have Tongues
A woman can tell a lot more about a man by looking at his shoes than just the size of his… feet. According to author Kathryn Eisman, you can ascertain everything you need to know about a guy before ever having to talk to him. In her book How To Tell A Man By His Shoes, Eisman goes in depth as to what you can learn from the footwear the guy your checking out across the bar is wearing. You’ll find out that a loafer man is sensual, a boat shoe man values quality, and a barefoot man is probably homeless… and much more. If you want to know more about males, or are just a fan of feet, this is the book for you.

Aloha, John Bowman
John Bowman is a high energy off-the-cuff standup comedian who's most well known for his adventures in Hawaii. Bowman had a little trouble with the language, names, people and almost everything else having to do with our island state. What many people may not remember is that Bowman was once featured in an episode of Seinfeld as an street-side umbrella salesman who gets into a fight with Jerry over who invented the “Umbrella Twirl.”

There Are Those Who Admit They Masturbate, and Those Who Lie
Spanking the monkey, shuffling the knuckle, flogging the dolphin, or just plain jerkin’ around… we all know what pastime these expressions refer to, but do you know why people do it? Well, it's pretty obvious why people do it, but do you know anything about the history of self-gratification? Though you may have perfected it, it may surprise you to learn that you didn’t invent the practice of punching the clown (or for you ladies, dialing “O” on the little pink telephone). According to Thomas W. Laqueur, in his book Solitary Sex, masturbation has been around for many years; it just didn’t have as many stigmas attached to it. Laqueur is a UC Berkeley historian who knows a thing or two about the subject of sex. His first book, Making Sex is a highly sought after and studied book on the subject of love, and this one is sure to follow in its footsteps. Though, with 32 pictures inside, this may be one you want to read when you’re alone.
