Gene Keady. Comb over who has a ton of B10 rings

Looks like a fake account. I’m guilty like #1.

I remember Davey Lopes the Chicago Cub and Houston Astro.

World Series winner as a player and coach with the Dodgers. Baseball lifer.

Rest in Peace

I knew him because of Land of the Lost growing up, and seeing some reruns of Puffnstuff, but my kids loved Mutt and Stuff on Nick Jr. about 10 years ago.

And also former bad boy and domer Bill Laimbeer
Yes, that's the joke. (See credits.) Greenwood and Laimbeer were high school rivals, and Greenwood was drafted second after Magic Johnson while Laimbeer went in the third round. Then Greenwood sat on the bench for the Pistons and watched Laimbeer win championships.

I remember watching H.R. Pufnstuf and Witchiepoo as a kid. There was some association between them and The Banana Splits, I think.
Great show! Young Punky spent many a Saturday morning mesmerized by them. And who can forget the show-within-a-show, Danger Island with a young Jan Michael Vincent.
Uh-oh, Chongo!

I'd forgotten about Danger Island and Vincent until you mentioned it. H.R. Pufnstuf and Witchiepoo and The Banana Splits was like a weird acid trip and eating magic mushrooms but for 10-year-olds. Weird and funny and highly entertaining. Oddly, I remember a joke from The Banana Splits where one of them was pulling a chain and when asked why, he replied that it was easier than pushing it. The goofy things a kid stores away to remember forever.

One of my fav athletes of all time just passed,… Garret Anderson passed in his early 50s . 😞😔😢
Way too young. Only thing I've seen so far about cause was "medical emergency" so it could be any of a million different things. Sad day for baseball and Angels fans.

Bob & Tom was iconic here in Indy for like 40 years. My mom won one of their prizes and was sent on a cruise.

Side note (somewhat related)…Jimmy “Mad Dog” Mattis was at all my RHS baseball games. I graduated with his nephew who played his college ball at Hanover.
My dad was a loyal Bob and Tom listener back in the day...I used to despise Q95. I was never one to listen to people talk when I was in a car, I wanted music. Older ive gotten, I would listen to them in syndication....the shit about you becoming your parents is real

Only 'music' crew I would listen. I usually tune to local Nashville Sports radio. The Bob and Tom Show was always a 'staple' on the road when I would go to sales calls.

RIP Bob!!

I remember listening to them when they first came on the radio in Indy. I remember thinking they probably wouldn’t last long. All the way to national syndication. Lol

i remember sometime in the 90s i believe where some New York city station offered them tons of money to leave Indy and they wouldn't and i admired them for sticking with the place that got them started instead of taking the Bob&Tom show to the big city

I remember first hearing the Bob and Tom Show in the car when my dad would take me in the morning to high school. "The Mr. Obvious Show," "Shirtless Girl," "The first baseball game with Harry Caray," all the classics. So many great comics and bits over the years. I wouldn't have known who Greg Hahn and Heywood Banks were without Bob and Tom, got to see both do standup and they were great.

Really sad that Bob had to fight cancer at the end, fuck cancer! Bob always seemed like a lovable dude. I remembered the tribute he did to Tim Wilson when he passed, had to rewatch it yesterday. Hard to believe Tim Wilson has been gone 12 years now too. Hope they're catching up in heaven now.

Wow. They were my first talk radio duo. We could get them in the dorms. Some students would call into the show. The Davie era was pretty disappointing on the football field so B&T really stuck it to us.

It was right after college that I really got into FM talk radio with Deminsky(sp) and Doyle in Ann Arbor. Now it is always #1 on my radio favorites.

funny you mentioned calling into the show. I had a guy working for me that called in regularly. He did the Jim Ignatosky (Taxi) bit and became a little bit of a regular for them.

I obviously respect his impact, and am sad he's gone. He had to have done something right,... but two things would come on my favorite classic rock stations that would instantly make me turn the channel. Anything by that horrible Canadian three-piece band that rhymes with "Hush", and any time Bob and Tom took over the station. They just never did it for me, I guess.

RUSH Sucks harder than Bonnie Blue seeking another world record,.... Big hate from me.

For Bob and Tom,... not really, every time I try to listen, I end up changing the channel quickly.

I hadn't listened much to Bob & Tom since about the time Bob retired, but wanted to hear what they had to say this morning. Apparently they were doing well up in Michigan. One of their competitors wanted to get rid of them, so he contacted some service that notifies stations of the different talent out there. Tom comes into work after attending a broadcasting convention and finds he has all kinds of emails and voice mails from different stations around the country. The reason they ended up in Indy was simply because it was one of the closes stations to where they were. lol

Per Tom, Bob just tired of the quality of life doing chemo all the time and decided to stop. The last three months he felt as good as he had in a long time. RIP Bob.
