Kenny Tarmac
Kenny Tarmac embodies that annoying traveling sales person on a flight with an over-inflated sense of self-worth who feels the need to demonstrate to everyone how important he is by loudly calling someone just as the plane lands. He always uses airport abbreviations while referring to his locations to further illustrate just how busy and important he is. He always calls Bob & Tom when he lands, and he always gets another call while talking to them. On a few occasions, while talking to Bob and Tom, he will run into a big-time client, whom Kenny cannot remember by name. During this time, he puts Bob and Tom on hold, while he tries to use his "zig ziglar bag of tricks" to get the client to reveal his name, usually failing.Notable Quotes
- "Hey shooter!"
- "We just landed!"
- "Yeah, I'm at ATL."
- "Hang on, I got a phone call."
- "I know...I know"
- "Whoa, whoa, WHOA!"

Mr. Obvious and the Caller
A recurring skit on The Bob & Tom Show, Mr. Obvious is portrayed as a radio personality with his own show, "The Mr. Obvious Show." He gives obvious and simple advice about whatever problem the caller may have. The caller always seems to be the same person, and opens the conversation with "Hi, Mr. Obvious. Long time listener, first time caller." From there, the caller will describe his issue and give symptoms to help Mr. Obvious figure out his problem. Most of the time, the caller's issue is something that anyone else can figure out, but he can not.Notable Calls
- "The Critter": The caller believes there's an animal in his sink, when it's really a garbage disposal.
- "New Neighbor": The caller thinks that his wife is allergic to a cat at the new neighbor's house after hearing what sounds like his wife who is about to sneeze, but Mr. Obvious figures out what's really going on, and doesn't tell the caller...
- "New Company Car": Our caller believes the new car is making him sick, as he feels hot and cold at the same time. After telling Mr. Obvious it begins after pressing the "seat indicator" button, Mr. Obvious realizes it's actually the seat warmer.
- "The Snake": Mr. Caller hears a loud hissing noise from behind the gas stove, thinking its a snake. However, after using a lighter to see behind the stove, he finds it is not.
Notable Quotes
- "Hey, Mr. Obvious. Long time listener, first time caller."
- "Thanks, Mr. Obvious. You're a life saver!"
- "Huh. I never made the connection."
