Bob Kevoian
And there's Tom Griswold.
Tom Griswold
Good to see you guys.
Jess
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
You know, I feel like you meant.
Tom Griswold
That total change of pace right now.
Christy Lee
Why?
Bob Kevoian
Just in time. You made it just in time.
Pat
Speaking of cooking, I love to cook. I'm thinking of opening a pizza joint. Yeah, Really? I figured it's a great way to make some dough of the day. Okay, even, even Willie's not on your side.
Chip
I liked it.
Pat
I just saw you shaking your head. But I guess because you've set the.
Tom Griswold
Bar low for the week.
Bob Kevoian
Makes him joke.
Tom Griswold
Okay, I get it. In the meantime, we will turn that way. There's Christy Lee. By the way, why do sports guys.
Bob Kevoian
And tell me everything? Ask me a question, Tom. I know everything about real, real sports guys.
Tom Griswold
Hey, they got Rob. They got the ball. They're moving left to right.
Bob Kevoian
That's right. Your radio dial. That's right.
Tom Griswold
Why do they do that?
Jess
Is there an all women sportscast? Like if I wanted to watch an NFL game and Hear two women call the game. Could I do that?
Pat
You know, that should be a thing.
Jess
They're easy, Ace.
Bob Kevoian
They have. They have done it. They have done it, and I'm sure they will do it again.
Christy Lee
Did you say lifetime?
Bob Kevoian
I have to. You have to look for. But I'm sure they did it this year already. A play by play and really. And a commentator, both female. Yeah.
Pat
Actually, were at least one Raider preseason.
Bob Kevoian
Game they had a female.
Jess
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
All right. Well, they've got. The Raiders have Brent Musburger, so, I mean, they got. Great, great play by play.
Pat
Now, Jess, would you like it to be similar to Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart or like, so you. Would you like it to be, you know, two celebrities or two women who know a lot about football?
Jess
I think that I would like. I think I would like it the way it's set up with men right now, where you have a straight guy. You're. That. That's the guy that. The broadcaster. What do you call it?
Christy Lee
Play by play by.
Jess
The play by play guy. And then the color. But it would be like. Like how women.
Tom Griswold
It's gotten awkward referring to him as the color.
Jess
The color commentator. Yeah, but thanks. You know.
Tom Griswold
Well, it's true.
Josh
Relax. Over there.
Jess
The woman that chirps in with. But she chirps in with things that, like, women would be a little more interested.
Pat
I got you.
Jess
You know what I mean?
Christy Lee
Like, oh, this color, this jersey this year is just so nice. I really like it.
Tom Griswold
There are, of course, women who would be better than any of the men doing.
Christy Lee
Now, I'm joking, by the way, when I said that.
Pat
Right, right, right, right.
Jess
But no, yeah, just something. I don't know, just a little more our pace.
Josh
Like a little thing like. That was a great Cole's Cole Beasley touchdown. Remember, every time Cole scores, you score. Score some Cole's cash.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jess
Like, even the advertising is geared towards women. That would be. I would just. I would try that. Yeah.
Pat
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Well, I'm wondering 20 years from now if they'll have several alternate broadcast that.
Jess
You can just choose which one you want.
Tom Griswold
Now, the most famous right now, of course, are the Manning brothers.
Bob Kevoian
I've said that millions of times. You'd be able to choose an audio channel for whatever you want to watch, like sideline chatter or. Right. I probably couldn't get the coach's headphones, but that would be nice if you could last.
Christy Lee
Yesterday, during the Backers game, one of the guys had his arm. I. I don't know if it officially was broken, but it Was twisted in a horrible way. And I could just see a woman going, oh, bless his heart. Yeah, because that's what I thought I was. Bless his heart. That looked horrible.
Bob Kevoian
You know what Tony Romo would tell Jim Nance?
Pat
Oh, my God. Notify next to King.
Tom Griswold
They're warming up the helicopter. They're gonna be two. One for the arm, one for the bomb.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, this is that one less place.
Pat
At the Thanksgiving date.
Bob Kevoian
This is from Beth Molins who works for cbs. She's a play by play announcer. And she did the Bills game this season between the Bills and the Texans. And Tiki Barber, running back for the Giants, was her color commentator.
Tom Griswold
Commentator of color.
Josh
What is wrong?
Bob Kevoian
She tweeted it out. And would you like to hear some of the tweeted responses to her announcing she was going to do play by play?
Jess
No, I don't. I don't know. No, I do.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, my. Expletive deleted. Good God. Do the networks really hate us that much?
Jess
Wow.
Bob Kevoian
For a team like the Bills to be a Super bowl contender, we're sure not getting any respect from the networks. With a girl doing the broadcast.
Jess
Having a female do the broadcast is a lack of respect for the team.
Christy Lee
That's interesting.
Bob Kevoian
Then somebody wrote, she's. She's good, actually.
Pat
Yeah.
Christy Lee
And she wouldn't be at CBS if she wasn't.
Jess
Right, right, right. I would love to be able to do that. That's like a dream job.
Christy Lee
That's a hard job.
Jess
Yeah. But do you remember the Queen for a Day? Remember when they would let a woman like that. But I would like that with like a job like my. My most favorite job.
Tom Griswold
Queen for a Day, the TV show where the three women would tell a sob story and whoever was the saddest would get the Speed Queen washing machine.
Jess
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Except I want to have my dream job. Like it would. It would be like your job for a day.
Tom Griswold
That's a great. That's actually a great idea.
Jess
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
The Queen for a Day show was so depressing.
Pat
That sounds pre.
Bob Kevoian
Now, how many children do you have? Eighteen. And my husband. Well, he died in the kiln fire.
Tom Griswold
And that's really what it was.
Chip
And then you would.
Tom Griswold
Then. Wasn't the prize almost always a speed queen?
Jess
It was an appliance of some kind.
Bob Kevoian
It was something to get her.
Tom Griswold
Sorry about the tragic death of most of your family now. Well, you can get all the wash done with the Speed Queen.
Josh
I thought Queen for the Day was the name of RuPaul's Christmas Special. Am I wrong on that?
Pat
That was Elliot Lambert, Adam Lambert, his brother.
Tom Griswold
If we could get back to. If we could get back to the football talk because Pat had a great song this morning that really only it has a shelf life of one day. But it's really good.
Bob Kevoian
It was really wonderful. Yeah. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions played to a tie yesterday in beautiful Pittsburgh. It was 37 degrees and raining during the entire game. Ended up 1616 tie. Ben Roethlisberger not playing for the Steelers because finally he looks the way he feels. Looks the way he's always looked. Like he's been on a 10 day bender and he just got out of bed. Roethlisberger has Covid. He's in COVID protocol. So they went to the backup quarterback, Mason Rudolph.
Tom Griswold
And you have an actual song, totally original about Mason Rudolph.
Chip
Tom, you know, Minshew and Flocko, Warner and Flutie until Bledsoe got hurt. Brady was on the bench like poor Rudy. But do you recall the least famous backup of all? Rudolph, the backup QB hasn't really touched the ball. He's filling in for Roethlisberger due to COVID protocol. All of the other Steelers hardly even knew his name.
Bob Kevoian
Who the hell is that?
Chip
They never let poor Rudolph starting any football games. Then one rainy Sunday, then he came to say, Rudolph, I know you're very green, but I just got COVID 19. It's only the windless Lions. The fans let out a sigh a but Rudolph the backup QB could only get the team a tie.
Tom Griswold
Perfect.
Bob Kevoian
All right.
Tom Griswold
Thank you, Chip.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, sir.
Tom Griswold
I think they would ever do like maybe have impersonators do the game.
Christy Lee
What do you mean impersonators?
Josh
Like have Frank Caliento do it as mad.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, that be fun guy doing Elvis. It's a touchdown. Thank you very much. It was a touchdown.
Jess
Maybe third quarter. That'd be a lot.
Josh
So you don't even want sports impressions. You just want random.
Bob Kevoian
You love impressions.
Tom Griswold
But what if Jimmy Durante, Jimmy Duranty, Nancy and I love.
Chip
Nobody would know I am not a quarterback.
Josh
You just won't be happy until we bring back Von Meter from the dead.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, look who walked in here. It's President Reagan.
Tom Griswold
No, Josh, you could do your famous Barack Obama pressure.
Pat
I do. I do. I don't do a Barack and bottom. But he is here today.
Bob Kevoian
There he is. Hello.
Tom Griswold
That guy got hurt. Mr. President's probably gonna need some healthcare.
Pat
Well, I did my best throw in a.
Josh
Let me be clear here.
Pat
Let me be clear here. Was that something he always said?
Bob Kevoian
Oh yeah.
Josh
That's the cornerstone for the impression.
Pat
Gotcha. Gotcha.
Tom Griswold
Well, let's move forward here, Christy. What else have you got going?
Christy Lee
The United States is facing a Santa Claus shortage. Mitch Allen, founder of hiresanta.com hello there. Told USA Today the demand is up 120% from pre pandemic levels, but there are simply not enough Santas to go around. Demand is also increasing far too late in the year, with Alan explaining that he typically begins booking in January. So the Santas that are available are already, well, booked up.
Pat
So these are the helpers of the real Santa Claus.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Christy Lee
Alan, as well as other Santa hiring companies, are now looking to hire more Santas to spread holiday cheer.
Bob Kevoian
Can I, Can I do this? Should I do this?
Pat
I think they would love for you to do it.
Christy Lee
He said if you've got a real beard, a real belly, a real jolly, you got a Christmas spirit, then they're hunting for you.
Pat
Two out of three.
Jess
Yeah. Bet on that spirit.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. I don't have Christmas spirit. I still don't have. But I was Santa Claus there for a little bit. One magical Christmas.
Chris VanVliet
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
At a McDonald's. I had a great time. Yeah, I did.
Christy Lee
Ellen added that demand is also surging for Mrs. Claus, elves, and just about any other Christmas related character. For those interested in becoming Santa, Old Navy is hosting a free virtual Santa boot camp on November 19th.
Tom Griswold
That's cool. Yeah, yeah, I left part of that story out.
Christy Lee
Oh, of course you did.
Jess
Is it sad?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
What's sad about it? What's the matter?
Tom Griswold
Well, one of the reasons there's a.
Bob Kevoian
Santa shortage, was there a plane crash or something? What are you talking about?
Jess
They all got Covid.
Christy Lee
They all died.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Pat
Gotcha. A lot of them are.
Tom Griswold
It says Santa's typically in higher risk populations with weight issues.
Christy Lee
Yeah, probably.
Tom Griswold
They put a number on it.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, they do. They have a number.
Christy Lee
Don't. Don't, please.
Bob Kevoian
Can I guess?
Josh
You're gonna tell people how many Santas died?
Christy Lee
No.
Pat
Well, some of them had Covid. Some of them had Malignant Prancer.
Tom Griswold
Never has that been used so cleverly and happily and darkly.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Josh
Nine reindeer.
Tom Griswold
We're hoping this year to get an interview with Santa again.
Pat
Yes. Boy, I love when Santa visits us.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, should be. Should be nice. So we'll try for that. And good luck. They're also looking for Mrs. Claus's and elves. And elves.
Josh
Do you think that since I can't grow a beard, if I went to audition, they'd make me be Mrs. Claus?
Pat
Do you think you'd make a good elf, man?
Christy Lee
Yeah.
Jess
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
You're sort Of a big elf.
Pat
Yeah, you're kind of cherubic or. Cherubic.
Jess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Very cute face.
Pat
Yeah.
Josh
Thank you.
Tom Griswold
You'd be like an. Like an elf in your last year before you graduated.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah.
Josh
Elf with senioritis.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Street wise, though, here's what you got to do if you want to make it out of this place alive, kid.
Pat
I want to leave the North Pole.
Josh
I sell all the other elves mistletoe.
Pat
You know.
Bob Kevoian
It ain't Santa you gotta kiss ass on, Mrs. Claus. Listen to me. Oh, yeah.
Tom Griswold
Back to you, Christy Lee.
Christy Lee
NASA is sending Snoopy to space.
Pat
Is that right?
Christy Lee
Artemis 1.
Bob Kevoian
What year is it? 69. 67. What?
Christy Lee
Artemis 1. The new rocket designed.
Tom Griswold
One second. They list the. The top deceased earners every year in entertainment.
Christy Lee
And Charlie Brown's right up there.
Tom Griswold
As long as Mr. Schultz has been deceased, that he's been in the top 10.
Pat
Always. He was number one for a long time.
Christy Lee
Always.
Pat
Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Right now I think it's Bob Marley and Michael Jackson and Chuck Schultz is always in there. And Charles Schulz.
Josh
What is he making money off of?
Pat
Snoopy licensing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, it's huge money.
Christy Lee
Artemis won. The new rocket designed to launch humans to the moon, Mars and beyond will launch next year with a small plush toy version of the Beagle. Wearing a spacesuit designed according to NASA's strict specifications, Snoopy will serve as a zero gravity indicator as he circles the moon and returns to Earth in February as part of an uncrewed mission to ensure all systems are working for future crewed missions.
Pat
Plus, I understand the Red Baron is up there and Snoopy.
Christy Lee
The upcoming mission announcement coincides with the release. I've got the announcement of the second season of.
Josh
That's fine.
Pat
Very good.
Bob Kevoian
And did you say Snoopy versus the Red Baron?
Tom Griswold
Think this would fly today? No. Maybe a. Maybe a rap version of this.
Josh
Why is the guy yelling?
Chip
Sound in the right. Right channel.
Christy Lee
Military type. Stereo.
Bob Kevoian
20, 30, 40, 50 or more.
Tom Griswold
This was a big hit.
Christy Lee
Really?
Pat
I love it.
Tom Griswold
Snoopy and the Red Baron wasn't there. There was even a sequel. Right.
Bob Kevoian
Snoopy and the Red Baron at Christmas. I think.
Tom Griswold
Kind of a World War II feel.
Pat
It ain't Christmas till Ryan wants Feel the meaning of Christmas is. That's what I say.
Josh
I like that. The Charlie Brown Christmas music.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Josh
Vince Garaldi trio.
Pat
That's right.
Christy Lee
The upcoming mission announcement coincides with the release of the second season of the Snoopy and space animated series on Apple tv.
Pat
Oh, I wasn't aware of that. Do you think Woodstock gets to Go with him.
Christy Lee
I don't know. It doesn't say that. Little Woodstock.
Tom Griswold
I don't. I think it's just the one puppet, but.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, the puppet.
Christy Lee
It's not a puppet. It's a stuffed animal.
Pat
I'm your puppet.
Christy Lee
Donny Osmond did a great version of that.
Tom Griswold
I doubt.
Christy Lee
Don't ruin my childhood memories.
Bob Kevoian
This is Christmas Bells with Snoopy. Shut up, Pat.
Christy Lee
At least it's in two channels.
Pat
Pat, let's not throw stones in the. This is the same song.
Christy Lee
House.
Tom Griswold
Of Glass.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I think we're done with that.
Tom Griswold
All right, so what's the special called? I just said it's Zero G's Charlie Brown.
Christy Lee
It's called Snoopy in Space.
Pat
Okay, Snoopy in Space.
Christy Lee
Jeff Bezos says people will one day live in space colonies and visit Earth. Like a park.
Bob Kevoian
Whatever. Nutsy.
Christy Lee
The Amazon and Blue Origin founder made his comments at the Ignatius forum in.
Bob Kevoian
Washington, D.C. at the Ignatius Forum.
Tom Griswold
This is what happens when. When no one said no to you in five years.
Pat
That's exactly right.
Bob Kevoian
You start thinking, well, they're hanging on my every word.
Christy Lee
He said, and I quote, over centuries, many people will be born in space. It will be their first home. They will be born on these colonies, live on these colonies. Then they'll visit Earth the way you would visit, you know, Yellowstone national parks over centuries.
Pat
He said, maybe. Yes.
Josh
So maybe if you're a billionaire, you shouldn't be allowed to talk.
Jess
I agree. If you had that much money, wouldn't you just go away on an island and never talk to anyone again?
Pat
I only listen to the rich. They clearly did something right. I want to hear what they have to say.
Tom Griswold
He'll be pretty soon just coming back to Earth to hunt humans.
Pat
Yeah, he may already be to that point.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, he might be doing it.
Christy Lee
Oh, my gosh.
Jess
That's terrifying.
Christy Lee
Wasn't that a movie?
Pat
The Most Dangerous Game.
Bob Kevoian
That, and it's called the Hunt.
Christy Lee
Yeah, the Hunt.
Bob Kevoian
What's her face is in it. Yeah, she's good. No, it's a good movie.
Tom Griswold
We've also got your Squid Game and.
Bob Kevoian
Your Hunger Games, but that's not really a hunt. That's a game show. Squid Games.
Tom Griswold
But I think when you've got that much money. Like I said, no one said no to him in so long. But whatever you say, Mr. Bezos, you nailed it. You got that Amazon thing down. Hey, on a happy note, you must know everything.
Josh
I call him Jeff Kisses.
Pat
Why is that?
Josh
Because Bezos means kisses in Spanish.
Pat
Is that true?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Jess
No, it's not.
Josh
Beso means kiss. Yeah, you bet.
Pat
Who knew?
Bob Kevoian
No, queso means cheese.

This episode of B&T Extra delivers the signature BOB & TOM blend of comedy, casual banter, pop culture news, and playful riffs on sports, broadcasting, and seasonal oddities. The crew bounces from Ace's groaner joke and the landscape of women in sports broadcasting, to a quirky shortage of Santas, and finally into space—where Snoopy (and Jeff Bezos) await. As always, the tone is irreverent, quick-witted, and occasionally sentimental, but never without a punchline.
The episode is packed with quick banter, affectionate teasing, and the group’s classic string-of-consciousness movement between topics. Social commentary is kept light and humorous, but occasionally lands serious points, especially around women in sports broadcasting and the effects of the pandemic. Through it all, the group’s camaraderie and comic timing shine—anchored by Tom’s laconic hosting, Bob’s zingers, and the energy of the ensemble.
For fans and newcomers alike, this episode offers a lively, character-driven spin on current pop culture and the holidays—equal parts comedy, nostalgia, and sharp contemporary observations.
