Peyton Wants a Broken Record for Christmas
Maybe you haven't heard, in which case you probably haven't turned on a television or radio over the past month, but Indianapolis Colts QB
Peyton Manning is just one touchdown toss away from breaking Dan Marino's 20 year old record. Back in 1984, the legendary Marino threw 48 TD's in one season. This year, Manning already has 47, with two games left on the schedule. The talk has gone from "if" he'll break the record, to "when." This chase for the record comes as no surprise, seeing as how Peyton is arguably the best player in the NFL. He was least season's Co-MVP and should be this year's only selection for that title. Winning and record breaking aren't anything new to Manning; he's been making an impact in the league since his rookie season, smashing nearly every rookie passing record in the books and continuing on pace to break many others during his career. While some say his skill come from an unparalleled work ethic and constant studying of film, other's claim it's all in the genes. He's got quarterbacking in his blood. His father, Archie, was a pro-bowl QB with the New Orleans Saints, and his brother Eli was the number one draft pick this season by the New York Giants. Though it would be easy for a guy on pace to break one of the most respected records in sports to lose focus on everything else, Peyton hasn't. He's still putting the team first, and would be happier if his Colts went to the Super Bowl than he would be with any personal achievements. We're sure that most of the folks in Indianapolis are hoping they can have both.

Help Build Tyler's Tree House
When Manning stops by the show this Tuesday, he’s doing so in order to raise money to fulfill a brave nine-year old child’s wish. Tyler Frenzel was 7 years old when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He spent the next two years traveling around the country, spreading hope and awareness to people, while at the same time trying to raise enough money to build a one-of-a-kind tree house for sick children. Peyton has taken this challenge on as his own, and along with the help of many other sports superstars, he’s putting on the Tyler Frenzel Charity Auction. This auction features a number of items you can’t buy in any store including a round of golf with Peyton, bowling with Jermaine O’Neal of the Indiana Pacers, dinner with Tony Dungy of the Colts or filling in as a guest sportscaster on the BOB&TOM Show.

 

The Guy
We Love to Hate

Comedian Jimmy Pardo commands respect, and maybe some day he’ll get it. Even though he’s a well-accomplished standup comic with a number of impressive credentials on his resume, Jimmy still feels like audiences, other comedians and even BOB&TOM don’t always give him the love he deserves. Pardo's got a reputation for getting into fights with the our other guests, and has been known to walk off the show from time to time, including his infamous exit during a broadcast in the Bahamas. Pardo's great on the radio, when you can keep him in the studio, but we all know it's his face that's the money maker. Which is why you should make sure to see him live when the chance presents itself, whether it be performing his standup comedy, or his one-man show Attention Must Be Paid: The Jimmy Pardo Story.

 

He's Paddy G.
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.

 

Saving All the Good Jokes For the End of the Year
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. And he'd better do it this time around, because this installment will be the the final Zany Report of 2004, and we hear he becomes a free agent at the end of this season, so now he's working for a contract. 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 everything is funnier when there are prizes involved.
