The Timeless
Music of Tim Cavanagh
He may have given up trying to keep his songs under one minute in length,
but this new extended format has opened up new creative doors for comedian Tim
Cavanagh. Now with all this extra time on his hands, Cavanagh can
expand on each of his song's selected subjects, finding the perfect punch
lines, and creating even more memorable lyrics for us to sing along with.
Looking through the archives, it’s obvious that Tim is able to
write a song on almost any topic, so we never know what we're going to
get when he picks up his guitar and begins to play. If you enjoyed his
comedy tunes when they were a mere sixty seconds in length, just imagine
how much harder you'll be laughing now that he's thrown out the stopwatch. VIP
members can get their Cavanagh fix anytime by clicking over to the Tim
Cavanagh Audio Page!

Who's
the Foss?
If you enjoy rapid-fire comedy, observational
humor and thought provoking musings, you'll realize that
going to a Tom Foss show just makes good sense. Foss is
a dyslexic, outdoorsy, West Virginian comedy machine gun
that fires off jokes faster than most folks can laugh at
'em. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't try. As an added
bonus to those in attendance, Foss always makes it a point
to work at least five minutes of local material into each
set. He finds this location specific comedy just by taking
a few hours out of his day to drive around each and every
town he performs in. For all these reasons, there isn't
a venue in the country that wouldn't welcome Foss with
open arms, as long as he's got enough money to buy a ticket.

Too
Good to Be True
Now that Tim
Bedore's popular editorial, Vague
But True, has become a regular
feature on the BOB&TOM show, we can't wait to find out
what the topic of each new installment will be. Sometimes the
topics are ripped directly from the headlines of the daily
news, like last week's about the idiots who run with the
bulls, other times the subject matter is taken from Tim's
own life. Regardless of where
Bedore finds his inspiration, the result is always good clean
fun. You can also hear Vague
But True on NPR's prestigious program, Marketplace. Bedore
is currently performing his standup as part of the Four
Stand-up Dads comedy tour.

Still America's #1 Survivor
It only took one episode of Survivor:
Pearl Islands for America to fall in love
with Rupert Boneham,
and over a year later, the feelings haven't changed. The tie-dyed tank
top wearing, black bearded, gentle giant became a fan favorite from the
moment he stole his opposing tribe's shoes and sold them for money. It
was a no-brainer for the producers of the show to invite Rupert back
to participate on Survivor:
All-Stars, considering he was the
most popular player in the show's history. Though he debated whether
or not to participate the game again, his decision to return to Panama
paid off in the form of a $1 million check. He didn't win the game, but
he did win the bonus prize when he was voted America's favorite Survivor player
by the viewers. Now that he's back in the states, Rupert spends his time
selling tie-dyed t-shirts, making public appearances, posing for pictures
with fans and loving every minute of it. We can only hope to see the
bug guy on television in some capacity in the near future. Watch out
Crocodile Hunter, here comes Rupert.
FACTOID – Rupert
got involved with the Survivor after participating in a state
fair Survivor contest in his home town.

Back on the Grid
After taking himself off the grid for
a few months by living in a shack in the middle of a forest,
comedian Drew Hastings is
back in action and once again a productive member of society,
at least, as much as he ever was. He's tall, dresses all
in black, wears dark rimmed glasses, has a thing for redheads
and sports a shower cap while bathing, yet he still
insists he's just like everybody else. Though Drew is a frequent
visitor to the Friggemall complex, it's always an adventure
when he stops by because with each visit we gain a little
more insight into the enigma that is Mr. Hastings. Very few
others… actually, no one else has ever shown up to the
show wearing a sash, riding a horse or driving an old, boat-sized
automobile that they purchased on eBay. But that's what we
love about Drew, and lead us to believe he leads an “alternative” (metrosexual)
lifestyle.

NASCAR's Bad Boy
Every sport needs a good villain, and NASCAR is no different. Love him
or hate him, Tony
Stewart wears that black hat extremely well. Not only is
he one of the most aggressive and entertaining drivers to watch, he
also remains a fan favorite because he's always near the top of the
standings. Growing up in Indiana, home of the world famous Indianapolis
500, Stewart began his racing career at the age of seven racing go-karts.
His first championship came five years later when he won the World
Karting Association National Championship, but this was only a precursor
of the titles ahead. Stewart captured the IRL Championship in 1997
and NASCAR's Winston Cup Championship in 2002. Stewart currently drives
the #20 Home Depot Chevrolet in the NEXTEL Cup series, where he just
took the checkered flag at the Tropicana 400 in Chicago.
FACTOID -
Tony Steward is one of the only drivers to ever finish both
races in the grueling "double duty," consisting of
the IRL's Indy 500, and the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Coca-Cola 600
in the same day.

Lord
Help Us
Lord
Carrett sounds more like a late night infomercial
vegetable slicer than a standup comedian, but put
your credit cards away because he’s no kitchen
accessory. Lord Carrett is the reigning “king” of
comedy and he promises that “Heads will Roll… with
laughter” once he gets going. Carrett is clever
comedian and a master of misdirection whose punch
lines seemingly come out of nowhere. While telling
a story, or setting up a joke, Carrett brilliantly
manages to keep you guessing as to where he’s
headed, while at the same time charming you with
a killer smile and the best hair in comedy, by far.

Laughing
on the Inside
After a seven day rest, comedian Bob
Zany is poised to return to do what it is he
does best, The Zany Report.
Though he's often denied the laughs his jokes truly
deserve, Bob hasn't given up his personal mission
to deliver a Report that
requires zero fixing, and gets everyone in
the studio to laugh, at least once. Just incase this
week's report doesn't live up to Bob's lofty goal,
there will also be new editions of "Fix-the-Joke,
Baby" and the "Bing Crosby Joke of the
Week" to save the segment, we hope.

Stick Around For Bill Scheft
Former standup comedian turned writer,
Bill Scheft pens the the column "The
Show" in Sports
Illustrated, and is the
author of one of the greatest novels of our generation, The
Ringer, but right
now he's first and foremost a sports fan. Though most people
feel like this is the slowest time of year for sports, Scheft
disagrees. With the MLB All-Star game, NBA free agency and
the Tour De France making headlines, Bill has more than enough
material to write about. Speaking of baseball, if you see Scheft
on the street, make sure to ask him if his Red Sox will be
able to beat the Yankees anytime this season, he always appreciates
that. Scheft is one of the most comically gifted geniuses we've
ever had on the show, and ranks among our favorite guests (we've
even had him sit in as a co-host when Bob was away). In fact,
we enjoy his phone calls so much, we've even set up a special
hotline just for him.

Joe
Sportscaster
Joe
Buck, son of the late, legendary St. Louis Cardinals
announcer Jack Buck, not only shares his dad's love of the
broadcast booth, he's also proven that excellence in sports
casting runs in the family. Buck is a three-time Emmy Award
winning broadcaster for FOX, and has earned the right to
be named among the premier announcers in all of sports. Not
only is he the first play-by-play announcer to handle lead
NFL and MLB coverage in the same year since Al Micheals and
Curt Gowdy, he's also the youngest person to ever call a
World Series. Buck began broadcasting for the NFL on FOX
at the age of 25, and added baseball to his workload just
a few years later. He currently works as the voice of the
St. Louis Cardinals, and is the lead announcer for FOX's
NFL and MLB coverage.
FACTOID -
This year's MBL All-Star Game will be Joe's fifth. He did play-by-play
in 1997, 1999, 2001 & 2002.
