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)[reply]

Cleanup

This article has seen numerous cases of vandalism, but cannot simply be reverted: Somebody who knows the subject should have a look at every single edit made since 2006-11-02 05:00 and determine whether it's vandalism or not, so that legitimate improvements (like this?) can be kept. 20:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

As of this date I see no vandalism, and the history has long since scrolled off.--Buckboard 11:53, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Removed *Dancin' Phil (comedian) as an unknown, not cited on B&T website as a Friend of the Show. Lmcelhiney 00:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revised Mr. Obvious explanation which was too detailed for this section and partially covered with the wikilinks to Chick McGee and Dean Metcalf. Lmcelhiney 11:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tim and Tom Wilson

Two different folks and both frequent guests.

Major formatting

I've just completed some major formatting of the article to tighten it up by adding column structure to the sections. If you add to a section, please put the information in the right place (currency, alphabetized, etc.) Check to ensure that you have not broken something in the format or ask questions if you need help. Thanks Lmcelhiney 03:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merging

I've just merged two articles on recurring characters - probably more should be added and the quote sections should be pared down (I'm User:Random832) --68.58.124.83 02:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed, this is me --Random832^T 02:59, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Donny Baker article

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.

Criticism

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)[reply]

You mean the undeserved, inane, forced laughter that happens when a rudimentary attempt at humor is made?
