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. He has opened up for the
likes of comedy legends Jay Leno, and Jerry Seinfeld in the
past, but has since become the headlining act in clubs across
the country. Slade has released two comedy albums, starred in
a number of movies, and was the 2001 winner of Seattle's International
Comedy Competition.

He's Just Like You... Only
Different
He may be tall, dresses all in black, wears dark rimmed glasses,
lives alone with a cat, has a thing for redheads, grew up in
Ohio with an English mother, sports a shower cap while bathing,
and BOB & TOM sometimes question his sexuality... but other
than that, comedian Drew
Hastings is just like you. And that just so happens to be
the title of Drew's new comedy album.
I’m Just Like You features Hastings’ unique
takes on every day life and very humorous standup, live on CD
for fans to enjoy over and over and over again.
SIDE BAR -
There's always a chance when Drew stops by that his good buddy,
"Success Guru," Jack
Freeman might tag along to help everyone who wants to, become
a winner.

comedy CD, Right
Now Right Now is available in
stores... right now.

Who knows if he ever got it?

 The
NFL Song: Week 11
We're past the halfway point in this topsy-turvy
NFL season, but we still have no clear cut powerhouses anywhere
in the league. With topteams like the Packers, Patriots, and
Saints losing, we're still stuck scratching our heads, trying
to figure out who is going to walk away a winner. If you want
proof, just take a look at Chick's Shoe-In picks. At least we
can always count on a few things each and every week. The Cincinnati
Bengals will lose, John Madden won't make any sense, and there
will be a new edition of Duke
Tumatoe's NFL Song
to recap all the madness.

 Author
John Feinstein
Live in the Studio
In 1977, Rudy Tomjanovich and Kermit Washington became involved
in a scuffle that will forever be known as “The Punch.”
This brief moment in time would not only change their lives, but
how professional sports are played today. Because the punch dislodged
Tomjanovich's skull and nearly destroyed both men's careers, this
incident has never been forgotten. Instead, it sometimes overshadows
both men's notable achievements in the NBA. The history of that
punch and the fate of the two men are the subjects of John
Feinstein's newest book The
Punch. Feinstein is the brilliant author that is behind such
sports classics as A
Season on the Brink and A
Good Walk Spoiled. |

with Dickie V
The Maestro-Man of the broadcast booth, Dick
Vitale, returns for another season as BOB & TOM’s
insider analyst of NCAA hoops. It’s been too long since
we talked to Dickie V, which means he’s got a lot of catching
up to do, including filling us all in on this upcoming season.
Vitale has been commentating college basketball for years, but
he’s not only the most recognizable personality of amateur
hoops, he’s also one of its biggest fans. In his book Campus
Chaos, Vitale shares his insights and personal views on
the game, as well as steps the NCAA needs to take to save the
sport he loves so much.
