Bob Explains His 1988: The BOBFM With The Most!

In 1988 compact discs, or CD's outsold LP's, or Vinyl's. Bob explains that he was never worried.
Technology has come even further with the years, and Bob still is not impressed. Especially since
in 2017 vinyl sales were at an all time high. Go ahead, download and stream all you like, Bob
knows what's up.

Bob Explains His 1982: Like, BOBFM!

Prior to Jane Fonda's Workout VHS, there was no video industry. Bob explains that after she came
out with her first tape in 1982, it was he who bought all the videos and subsequently launched the
video industry. He does his best to stay humble about it, but, he does own every Jane Fonda Workout
there is on the market.

Bob Explains His 1997: There Are Some Things That Money Can't Buy, For Everything Else There's BOBFM.

There's only thing that was important in 1997, and that was Jack and Rose's love on the Titanic. Bob explains
that Jack would have been spared if Rose had just, oh, shared the life raft! But in the end, the unselfish act
really proved a lot about love; it's cold, bitter, and you'll most likely freeze to death because of it?

Bob Explains His 1985: BOBFM, You Look Mah Va Lous!

Bob wonders if he's the only one who takes pageantry seriously? It is no joke crowning Miss USA,
and, in 1985, Bob is proud to say that Laura Martinez-Herring from Texas won the crown. He keeps
mentioning there are many things to be proud of as a Texan, and, he adds that the Miss USA crown
is definitely one of them. Like Fernando Lamas always said, "better to look good than to feel good!"

Bob Explains His 1976: Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow!

There's this small pop group, maybe you all have heard of them; ABBA? For Sweden,
until IKEA, ABBA was the entire countrie's biggest "corporation." Bob explains that for
the longest time he thought their name was pronounced "aye-bae" and that they were
actually the bee gees... We just let Bob think his thoughts and move on.
