The Comedic Voice of the
Little Man
When Dwight
Slade takes the stage, he becomes the voice of the little
man, just looking for a little justice and maybe a little payback
for all of life's daily humiliations. Though he looks like he
just graduated from college, Slade has been in the comedy business
for over 20 years. He got his start working with comedy legend
Bill Hicks, but has since made a name for himself headlining
comedy clubs, hosting his own radio show and releasing two successful
comedy albums.

Barnhart and Soul
Stand Up Comic/actor/ director Don
Barnhart was one of the first ever graduates of the Second
City Conservatory in Los Angeles. Since earning his diploma
(we think you get a diploma for that), he’s used this
skills he honed to become a touring headliner all around the
world. When he’s not entertaining troop overseas, he’s
here at home working his way from club to club dispensing his
brand of physical facial expressions, witty, off-the-wall observations
and upbeat, fast paced, improvisational comedy.

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 is just a little
too difficult for you to follow, you’d better grab some
cassette tapes and hit record on your stereo tomorrow because
Jim Bradford is returning to
the Friggemall building to demonstrate how it’s done.

Just Like You... Only Different
Comedian Drew
Hastings is definitely on our list of favorite all-time
guests. And while it's true this is a very long list, what separates
Drew's visits from all others is that they're always an adventure.
Each time he stops by we learn a little more about how his twisted
mind works, and at the same time gain insight into his interesting
“alternative” (metrosexual) lifestyle. 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 it's quirks like these that
make Drew so loveable. Though Hastings is unlike anyone you'll
ever meet (if you're lucky), he still insists, he's “Just
Like You.”

The Sophomore Session
We were first introduced to comedian Mike MacRae by good friend
of the show (and of Mike) Henry Phillips as they were passing
through town. Henry thought we might get a kick out of Mike’s
comedy, and low and behold we did. He impressed us so much
that
two of his pieces are featured on BOB&TOM’s brand
new album Camel Toe. In
his first visit, MacRae
not only demonstrated what it would be like to have Indiana
Jones as a professor, and enlightened us to the fact that
the
Roe vs. Wade baby is still out there somewhere, (probably on
heavy medication), we also found out he does a dead on Henry
Phillips impersonation. Not too bad for a rookie performance.

Women's Lingerie
50% Off
Victoria’s Secret is out, and what better way to tell
the world than with sexy super models in skimpy lingerie (that’s
underwear for those of you playing at home) strutting up and
down a runway on national TV. Not that you need any more reason
to watch the CBS special than this, but the show also features
musical performances by Sting and Mary J. Blige, a peek behind
the scenes (which we’re hoping involves a dressing room
cam), and it’s being hosted by two of the hottest women
in the world, Tyra
Banks and Heidi Klum. We know Chick will be glued to his
television watching with his robe recklessly thrown open…
and if you’d like to do the same, turn it to CBS, Wednesday
November 19 at 10PM ET and catch the Victoria's
Secret Fashion Show.
FACTOID
- Early in her career, Tyra became the first black woman and
the first model to be featured on the cover of GQ Magazine,
a feat repeated when she was named their "Woman of the
year 2000."

There Are No Mulligans
in comedy
T.P. Mulrooney, AKA the "Golf
Comic," has an uncanny ability to bring humor to a sport
that normally involves an array of curse words, lost balls and
broken clubs. Using his standup comedy to focusing on the lighter
side of golf, Mulrooney has won the hearts of duffers across
the country. TP recently used his love of the game (along with
the help of five talented artists,) to bring the world of golf
to life in a collection of 100 cartoons. Each one of the cartoons
featured in his book Renaissance
Golfer holds true to Mulrooney’s philosophy
of being funny about the game without making fun of the game
(because doing so might lead to a beat down in the parking lot
of a country club).

The Ragin' Cajun of Comedy
When trying to come up with the best way of describing comedian
John Morgan, the phrase “Ragin'
Cajun” comes to mind. Most likely that’s because
this is how he’s often addressed, but a nickname like
that isn’t just given out, it has to be earned. A native
of Louisiana, Morgan is a southern boy who’s got a lot
to say about his home region. He does so with an easy rapport,
straight shooting southern charm, and an outrageous amount of
comic energy. We’re getting him up much earlier in the
morning than he’s used to so his energy might not be at
its peak, but who ever said you had to be awake to be funny?

The NFL Song - Week 11
We're now into the double digit weeks of
this 2003 NFL season which means Super Bowl Sunday keeps getting
closer and closer. Though there's still plenty of football left
to be played, many teams are beginning to break away from the
pack, except for those awful squads in the AFC North... where
no one really wants to make the playoffs. Week 11 was full of
close games and a couple of overtimes, mostly due to lack of
offense by almost everyone. Only the Colts and Jets squared
off in a scoring shootout, which included a surprise fake field
goal. In other action, the previously undefeated Chiefs were
bested by the Bengals (yes, those Bengals.), the Super Bowl
Champs lost again, and Doug Flutie ran out of magic against
the Broncos. If you weren't able to catch all the games this
weekend, you're in luck because there's no better way to rewind
all the action of the weekend than with Duke
Tumatoe's popular, bluesy musical review, The
NFL Song.
