Flashback to the Early Days of B&T

Thanks to Art Vuolo Jr. for capturing and producing this. He sent this short reel of classic BOB & TOM Show footage originally produced as an introduction the year the guys hosted the Marconi Awards. Visit his website for more - www.vuolovideo.com

[@cabdvc9801]

Can't tell the number of times on the way to work I nearly ran off the road laughing at these guys on the radio. How sad for those who have never discovered them.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

The show is the best when people like Bill Clinton call in

Greetings from Chile! Except, I work from home.

[@SlappsMcGee]

Grew up with Bob and Tom as a kid in the early 90s when riding around in the car with my dad. Their voices and distinct laughs bring back a world of memories. B&T on Q95 forever.

[@chassiferd5588]

Same thing here I'm 36 and listen to the bob and Tom show everyday to this very day

[@bjw9529]

When I read this I thought I wrote it myself. My best memories of my Dad are him taking me to school in the mornings and us laughing so hard at B & T. I’m not sure if I was laughing at the show or laughing at him laughing so hard. I’ll never forget the deer stuck in the car or “bambalance”. Great times

[@Catholicknight89]

Thanks Bob and time I’m a long time listener first time caller. I loved listening to y’all in the 90s in my dad’s truck in the morning all the way through high school. I remember when y’all covered the 9/11 attacks. Such amazing memories thank you for everything.

[@riffmaster1078]

This is great.. Back when Comedy was Comedy and not everyone was offended by everything.

[@Paintballpro18]

So true. Any comic today HAS to make fun of themselves and if not, potentially risk their job because they might offend someone, or someone might get offended on behalf of the party that comic is making fun of. It's why Jerry stopped a couple years back, because he didn't want to ruin his image with how quickly comedy was being attacked with these "I'm offended" or "Cancel him because of _____"

[@illinoiscentralrailroadfan6015]

So true

[@msoileau83]

I'm sure you could probably find some old blackface videos which is probably what you want to see anyway....

[@slowrollinglow5498]

This was a staple growing up in Michigan in the 90's, 30+ yrs later it still kills me.

[@joepglass]

How did we get so old. Where did my childhood go? Thank you for all the years!!

[@manthrapyinc.4713]

grew up seriously with you guys.....people don't understand my morning obsession hahaha it cracks me up every day! and thank the lord for Josh....

[@betsytaylor3107]

I HATED high school! When these guys came on in the early 80s; they saved my sanity! I would listen to them on a radio in our bathroom before I went to school every day.

[@JoeCnNd]

I would listen then go to school around lunch time.

[@jeanettedriskell5933]

These guys will probably live to be 110. It's nice to have a job where you get to laugh all day!

[@betsytaylor3107]

I HATED high school! These guys kept me sane when I listened to their program in the morning while I was getting ready for school!

[@phatboi9835]

I was very fortunate to been born and raised in Indy and knowing them all these years. Thanks for the memories!

[@shaw2390]

This is awesome!!! I love bob and tom and seeing these behind scene of it in the old days is magical

[@billloman3151]

Bob and Tom back before they got scared to death of the FCC is an amazing thing. The show hasnt been the same since that happened.

[@VenerableBede2510]

Bob retiring was a tragedy

[@randywissler9923]

When they got syndicated was when they started going downhill!!!

[@michaelhembree6347]

It's definitely not the same show at all. I still listen to every morning.

[@smallblock360racing9]

When radio was absolutely amazing. Over the years I have seen it fall more and more but this brings me back to my child hood on what radio use to be back in the day. And I miss it so much. As a child I just whish they would just play music now that it is gone I just wish to listen to the radio host just having fun.

[@wsr216]

Look at all those carts! And the TTs and the BMX console! Old school radio stuff - it's glorious!

[@mightywhitey946]

The 1970's and '80's were the golden years for comedy on the radio and TV. Bob and Tom -- Big Chuck and Little John were the best.

[@heyitsmemg7494]

Man it's so good to go back and watch these old clips from the 80s and 90s. I grew up during those years so watching this is very nostalgic.

[@chrisboom8699]

Would love to see Tim Allen visit the show again! Been listening my whole life on q95. Love you guys!!!

[@cherylvandivier9522]

He passed away

[@chrisboom8699]

Tim Allen never died. Hes still around and funny as ever

[@Monilynn17]

That was the best part of this video! I'm sitting here waiting for my husband to get home from work so I can play it for him! 🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes I forget how long I've been listening and how damn old I am

[@Zehbron]

The morning drive in Indy was always Bob and Tom Time. They would crack up, and you'd look around at everyone else stuck in traffic, and they were all cracking up too. Their Indy 500 race albums were always a big hit too. Loved Dino and Jerry. Does anyone have a copy of More Cushion, Less Pushin'?

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

[@Ilovewashers]

I used to listen to the station on Kfly in Corvallis/Eugene, Oregon, and then again on 105.7 The Peak in Spokane. Sadly The Peak went off the air in late spring 2010, and when I was in Oregon in March Kfly was still kicking and still had Bob And Tom.

[@andyharman3022]

15:20 Chick McGee was amazingly quick in adapting the Ford dealer commercial to different sound effects. Hilarious and entertaining all the way through a commercial. I wonder if the Ford dealer was pleased? I lived in Indy from '80 to '85 and listened to Q95 every morning on the way to work and every evening on the way from work. The station would replay good bits from the morning show during afternoon drive time. I couldn't believe what they were doing. Then I listened to them from '90 to '95 when I was living in Columbus. Their show had become much more produced by then and they were getting more guests of national prominence. Heywood Banks was probably their most frequent guest. My favorite bit from Bob & Tom is Shirtless Girl. Look it up.

[@throbbybobby]

I thought that was Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs Football coach.

[@MrBreeze18]

They were tolerable in the 80s with the occasional funny skit. The important thing is they actually played rock n roll in the mornings. It might have been only 3 or 4 songs an hour, but it wasn't all talk and skits. When they started syndication in the 90s, all rock music was abolished and I couldn't handle the talk anymore.

[@brendaschrum9263]

I recall September 11, 2001 listening to the B&T Show. They had a vantage point where they could see the world trade center. They may have been miles from it I know. The first plain that hit was reporred as it looked like a Sesna.... Then later in the morning things were worse than we thought... Almost 22 years ago!! That is hard to believe.

[@coolkidsdiscord]

Bob and Tom headquarters are in Indianapolis Indiana. They are nowhere near New York.

[@MrBreeze18]

I'm sure somebody had a TV on in the studio at the time. These guys were always in Indianapolis except for the occasional spring break show in FLA.
