B&T Extra: Greg Warren's Warren Report - Trombones

In this episode of Bob & Tom Extra, comedian Greg Warren returns with his signature blend of humor and deep dives into niche topics, this time focusing on trombones. The segment opens with a comedic tale about two clueless Armenian ice fishermen who repeatedly move their shanty after hearing a mysterious voice warning them there are no fish beneath the ice—only to discover it was the arena manager. Greg then shares his personal connection to music, recalling his two-year stint playing trombone and clarinet in school, and humorously critiques the instrument’s awkward design, lack of cool factor, and the long stretches of silence trombonists endure in orchestras. He highlights famous trombonists like Trombone Shorty and Bill Moyer, the latter of whom voiced Mrs. Othmar in Peanuts using a trombone with a plunger mute. The conversation also touches on historical roles of trombonists in German city towers, the boredom of waiting for cues in symphonies, and even a rant about bottled iced tea that tastes like poison. Throughout, the tone remains lighthearted, witty, and full of absurd anecdotes.
