Another Round With Pat Dailey
Singer/Song writer Pat Dailey has been selling out shows from the Great Lakes to the Florida Keys for almost two decades. With humorous tunes, a sly wit, and a love for a good adult beverage, Dailey has built up a huge fan following among spring breakers and fellow party goers. He's become a favorite guest of Bob & Tom, and never fails to entertain with classics songs like The Oyster Song, Out Drinkin', and You're There (which appears on the new album Sideshow). You can here these and many of his other hits by going to the Pat Dailey Audio Page.

FACTOIDDailey teamed up with popular author, Shel Silverstein, to create an audio version of his book "Take a Deep Breath"

On the Road
with Mitch Hedberg

Hilarious standup comedian Mitch Hedberg is one of the most popular comics among fans of Comedy Central. Which is why it makes perfect sense that they’d choose him to co-headline their National Comedy Tour. Along with friend of the show Stephen Lynch, Hedberg is traveling the country performing his observational comedy. Mitch looks like your stereotypical grungy Gen-Xer, but he's no slacker. Deep down his mind is always at work, finding the humor in ordinary things, and every day events. Along with headlining this national tour, Mitch has also released the DVD Mitch All Together, and the CD Strategic Grill Locations.

 

He’s a Little Bit Special
Stephen Lynch has a knack for choosing topics for his songs that make others just a tad uncomfortable. When choosing a subject to sing about, Stephen’s not afraid to touch on the darker side of comedy, whether it be losing a gerbil, having only one testicle, or wanting to sleep with his girlfriend’s sister (she’s a teacher at a junior high school.) Though often disturbing, Lynch’s songs are all in good fun and are usually accompanied by his beautiful guitar playing, but make sure you catch them the first time around, because who knows if we’ll ever be allowed to play them on the air again. If you do happen to miss Stephen live, pick up his two comedy albums A Little Bit Special and Superhero.

Half a Man - Stephen Lynch
 

Wild, Wild West
It could be argued that funnyman Billy West is the most talented and versatile voice actor working today. His range of original characters is so vast that it’s hard to find an animated program he hasn’t lent his voice to. In addition to giving life to pop culture icons such as Ren and Stimpy, Fry from Futurama and the Red M&M, West has also taken over the voice duty of some of the best loved animated characters of all time like Bugs Bunny, Shaggy from Scooby Doo and most recently Popeye the Sailor Man. He’ll be reprising his role as Bugs in the new film Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas, and is featured as the voice of Popeye on the new 75th Anniversary collection DVD.

FACTOID – Billy West based his voice for Stimpy on that of Larry Fine of the Three Stooges.

 

It’s Turkey Time!
You may have seen it done a lot of other places, but we still say it started here first. It’s time once again for one of our favorite annual traditions here on the BOB&TOM Show, the cooking of the Fried Turkey. We receive e-mails all year long asking us how to go about cooking one of these at home, so we’ve provided the recipe for this popular fried Thanksgiving feast in the BOB&TOM Cookbook. If following written directions are just a little too difficult for you to follow, you’d better grab some cassette tapes and hit the record on your stereo tomorrow because our famous turkey chef is returning to the Friggemall building to demonstrate how it’s done.

Hit 'em With
Your Flute, Greg

The last time comedian Greg Warren was in our studio, he shared a number of stories about his past. The one concerning his uncle Leo, and the only good advice he ever got out of him was funny, but the one that has taken the nation by storm concerns his playing of the clarinet, or as his buddy called it, a flute. Not only did this piece elevate the phrase "hit 'em with your flute" into pop culture, it has also caused anyone with the name Nick to be forever referred to as "No Neck Nick." Along with his appearance on the new BOB&TOM album Odd Balls, Greg's comedy has been featured on Comedy Central’s Premium Blend and in clubs across the country. He’s also a former NCAA All-American in wrestling (hence the cauliflower ear) and has stated on many occasions that if things don’t work out in comedy, he’ll head back to school and coach the sport. Now that he's become a favorite of ours, we don't see Greg with a whistle around his neck any time soon.

Hangin' With Mr. Curry
Since his early days in school playing the part of the class clown, Mark Curry knew he wanted to be a comedian. The problem was that when he first ventured out into the real world, the only place he could find an audience was the drugstore where he worked. But after his customers convinced him to give comedy a legitimate try, Mark was living his dream in no time. After only a few years in comedy, Mark was given the opportunity to perform on his very first HBO special, which in turn led to his sitcom, Hanging With Mr. Cooper. The show had a successful five-year run, but that wouldn’t be the end of his television career. Mark has gone on to host Showtime at the Apollo, Animal Tails and Coming to the Stage and has made guest appearances on countless other sitcoms and talk shows. Though he’s kept busy in Hollywood, Mark makes time to continue doing what he loves best, performing standup comedy in clubs across the country.

 

Life After COBDOG
Dan Cummins, the younger, more rockin’ half of the comedy duo COB DOG (AKA Crowe & Cummins) is back out touring on his own, crisscrossing the country and hitting as many colleges and comedy clubs as he can along the way. Cummins is a comically gifted singer/songwriter who’s famous among BOB&TOM listeners for his role as the pushy java salesman in the piece “At the Coffee House.” Though he’s only played a few of his humorous tunes for B&T, you can listen to all of them by purchasing his comedy album, Lower Your Goals, on his website. While you’re there, why not procrastinate a little longer and enjoy an archive of Dan’s famous “Skidmark Greeting Cards,” which are inappropriate for any occasion.

 

Straight From
the Vile File

"Vile File" mastermind Dwight York isn't just a funny comic with a style and delivery all his own, he's also one of the best joke writers and a masters of misdirection you'll ever hear. York comes loaded with an endless arsenal of clever one-liners and short stories ranging from the innocent “They say gambling is a sin, but I’m betting god will forgive me,” to the slightly more bawdy “I brought home a woman from the bar last night but ended up passing out on the couch. I must've grabbed the wrong drink.” Many of these jokes are as fun to read as they are to listen to which is why Dwight has compiled the best of the worst and put them in his book, The Vile File.

 

For the Love of Godwin
It's true that comedian Pat Godwin is one of our favorite guests, but it’s not just because he always comes prepared with a handful of hysterical new tunes. A lot of our love for the man comes from the fact that he leads such an extraordinary life which is always packed with interesting, and often pathetic stories that would never happen to anybody else. Whether he’s living in a house with no furniture, trying to escape from a transgender stalker or getting bitched out by Elton John in the middle of an Airport, we never tire of hearing about his misadventures. Many of which he’s put to music and can be heard on his album Under the Bed, or on the new BOB&TOM album Sideshow.

 

Sideshow Double Feature
Now that Tim Bedore's popular editorial,
Vague But True, has become a regular feature on the BOB&TOM show, it's hard to believe that one man could find the time to write so many clever pieces. We’re convinced Tim does nothing all day but sit at his keyboard and type because he’s always ready with a new installment of VBT to share with us. Sometimes the topics of his columns are pure fantasy, other times the stories are taken directly from Tim's own life experiences, much like the two that appear on the new B&T CD Sideshow . One is his popular piece about having fun with a SkyMall magazine, while the other is a recollection on the fun he had during his lake cabin vacation. But it doesn't matter where Bedore finds his inspiration, the result is always good clean fun.

 

The NFL Song - Week 10
Week ten of the 2004 NFL season is in the books, but don't worry if you missed a single second of it because Duke Tumatoe's here with his NFL Song to help you play a game of catch-up. It's like having a VHS copy of the games, without having to adjust the tracking or rewind when your done. It was quite a week of football with the Colts and Eagles putting on an offensive clinic, the Cardinals causing Kurt Warner to lose his job and three games going into overtime. In other exciting news, the Dolphins didn't lose, probably because they were on a bye. What does all this mean? It means Duke has a lot of info to cram into one song so don't you dare miss it, or else you might have to be the one to explain the Giants QB change to Kurt Warner's wife. Plus, stay tuned for the always exciting Bass Talk, and perhaps another one of Chick's popular halftime jokes.

 
 

Sorry, Wrong Number
Tom Mabe is in the middle of an ongoing war with the telemarketing industry. His hatred of phone solicitors was born back in his days working as a struggling jingle writer from home. Whenever the phone would ring, Tom filled with joy, hoping it was a client ready to shell out cash for his services. But to his dismay, the voice on the other end of the line would almost always be a telemarketer attempting to sell Mabe something he didn't need. Tom could have done what any ordinary person would do and let this deep rooted anger fester, but instead he turned his aggravation into a profession. Mabe now waits by the phone in anticipation of solicitors, ready to make them sorry they ever picked up the phone. With oddball characters and outlandish situations, Mabe turns the tables on those pesky telemarketers, making their lives a living hell. The best of his reverse prank phone calls have been collected on three CD's,
Revenge of the Telemarketers Rounds 1 & 2 and A Wake Up Call For Telemarketers.

FACTOID - Tom Mabe crashed an American Teleservices Association Conference in Washington DC, by using a fake name and credentials. He then took his scheme one step further and placed prank phone calls to the telemarketing agency executives in the middle of the night.

 

Two Jokes For the
Laughs of One

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. As a safeguard, just incase this week's report doesn't live up to his lofty goal, there's always "Fix-the-Joke, Baby" and the "Bing Crosby Joke of the Week" to save the segment. Because as we all know, everything is funnier when there are prizes involved.

 

He Doesn't Have Time For Laughs Folks, He's Got a Show To Do
When comedian Greg Hahn takes the stage, he brings an energetic, all-out style of physical humor, one-liners and crowd work with him. He doesn't waste any time trying to solicit laughter; he's out to create immediate pandemonium and panic. Hahn will wear an audience out with his rapid-fire jokes and non-stop style and leave them lying on the floor trying to catch their breath in no time. Though Hahn's resume includes numerous television appearances and headlining countless comedy clubs, his true calling may be as a speaker at corporate functions. Hahn is famous for stepping behind the podium during stuffy business events and pretending to be a guest speaker, only to launch into his bizarre antics. Needless to say, it takes everyone in attendance completely off guard.

Side Note - Greg's famous piece about his golf game is featured on the new BOB&TOM album, Odd Balls.

 

Music with a Message
Comedian Sean Morey's songs usually contain very heartfelt and well thought out messages. His tune Ghost Chickens in the Sky examines poultry's plight against the farmer's ax, his Man Song discusses the power struggle between men and women and On the Internet is all about how hard it is to find love in today's society. The messages may not sound as profound when accompanied by his banjo, but if you can get past that, these songs might possibly teach you a little about life, love and even yourself. Except for maybe that Hermaphrodite Song, it's just plain weird.

If you'd like to sample some of these wonderful melodies, check out the Sean Morey Audio Page. VIP EXCLUSIVE!
