Talk:The Bob & Tom Show

message: After comparing the Tim Cavanaugh bio page on the Reason web site with the Richard de la Font agency web page with the bio of comedian Tim Cavanaugh, I seriously doubt that they're the same person. The Tim Cavanaugh on the Bob & Tom show is the composer/lyricist of "Get Drunk with Dignity," "99 Dead Baboons," etc. (I may be wrong, though...)
209.234.74.28
The link to Greg Warren on the "Friends of" list points to an NFL player of the same name. They are not the same person.
Chick left the show in the 90's for his own show in San Diego I believe, does anyone know who took his place before he returned. Also does someone want to alphabetize some lists on the page? --Josh 13:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: ===Donnie Baker===
Voiced by Ron Sexton
Donnie Baker is a character who regularly advertises that he has a “boat for sale”. Baker often makes reference to his skills with the ladies. He works breaking down cardboard boxes under the supervision of “Randy,” a supervisor who disapproves of telephone use during work hours. (Mr. Dishman is sometimes mentioned as the district manager of their company.)
Donnie’s employment history includes working as a maintenance manager of the Glendale Farm Apartments. As a running gag cross-over, Baker interviewed for employment with Ernie Furglar, the owner of Furglar's Hardware. He was rejected for the job because he didn't “possess the proper people skills” to work at Furglar's.
Baker make topical calls to the show on a regular basis. He often relates anecdotes involving a “good friend of his” who had a semi-relevant experience, usually ending in a lewd or scatological punch-line. Most of his calls are punctuated by saying, "I swear to God," “I’ll tell ‘em to his face,” and “It’s a state law. Look it up.” At the end of many calls, Donnie is told to get off the phone by Randy, after which his “I gotta go!” closes the bit.
The Bob & Tom Show production group, Friggemall Industries, has released an album of Donny Baker pieces entitled “Boat for Sale.”
Ron Sexton as Donnie Baker is a regular participant in Bob and Tom Radio: The Comedy Tour shows.

message: Is it appropriate to mention the enduring criticism and ridicule against this show, prompted by the constant, hyena-like laughter peppering every joke?71.35.252.65 04:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: ... They laugh at every fucking joke anybody makes. ALL OF THEM. And its a weird sort of laugh. Do you even LISTEN to the show? --98.232.180.37 (talk) 09:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Thesporkandfoon -- I'm pretty sure you mean their really obnoxious "hyuk hyuk hyuk" way of laughing. Its bizarre, to say the least. I mean, its most of they on-air crew that have this laugh. However, if you have proof (a good source, etc) that they're salting the show with crap like that, then by all means, post the section and cite it. Quite frankly I can't stand these jerks, the show is morning radio gruel. And I'm pretty tired of their signal interfering with my Adam Carolla Show signal (people in western Oregon experience this frequently). --98.232.180.37 (talk) 09:47, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's not worth mentioning, because it's absolutely baseless. They don't "insert laughter" into the show. If you've ever sat and WATCHED them, either online or on TV, you could see that when there's laughter, it's simply the four of them. Their fans enjoy the personal feel of the show, and enjoy their reactions to the bits/comedians/etc. Just because you dislike it, doesn't make it a true nationwide critisism. Different strokes/different folks, etc. The show is syndicated for a reason, and they are wildly successful for a reason. While I have my own gripes about the show, I understand that sometimes they get terrible comedians... but they've been doing this stuff long enough to know when to laugh for the sake of laughing (to make a comedian feel welcome/better), or when something really is funny. They have to play by a LONG list of rules on a very scripted show, and it's a shame that the local content (between breaks and a half-hour after the show) is the funniest stuff, because it's not as "held down by the man". If you can listen to the Indy feed somewhere, I'd suggest giving it a try. 216.136.4.136 (talk) 13:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Agree. Few non-music AM radio shows (such as the monumental 21-year-long unnamed show by Jean Shepherd, WOR, New York City) have been truly noteworthy and high in quality, but The Bob and Tom Show does come close. The hard part is documenting the details of any radio or TV show when no reliable source describe them in detail; this article fails WP's rigid referencing criteria as do all similar articles on shows.
