Bob Kevoian
Now some more Bob and Tom. This is Bob and Tom X MMA fighter Michael Dragic fought an alligator outside of Florida school. Whoa. You know, so the kids could see it.
Kristi Lee
Do you have any tenactin? I have Dragic.
Bob Kevoian
Mike Dog. It's his name. According to reports, 33 year old amateur fighter and licensed gator trapper.
Josh Arnold
Oh well, really?
Bob Kevoian
Well, he's a renaissance man, Jack of all trades. Oh boy.
Tom
This gator's gigantic.
Bob Kevoian
He was called to help Florida fire and rescue officials with a 10 foot long alligator. It's mostly tail, mostly tail.
Tom
He's grabbing the tail and this thing is spinning around. This is terrifying.
Bob Kevoian
Have you seen the video of the guy?
Josh Arnold
He's a professional.
Bob Kevoian
He goes outside and there's an alligator in his driveway. And he gets his garbage can, one of those big ones with the hinged lid, and he goes over and lays the, the hinge lid down. And the alligator, he keeps pushing it. The alligator kind of gets shoved into the garbage can. He shuts the lid, walks it over to this body of water and shame.
Tom
It was a Tuesday night because garbage day was that morning.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I'd like to be the raccoon that opened that trash can.
Bob Kevoian
I don't remember ordering doordash, said the alligator.
Josh Arnold
He's a big.
Tom
It's a big gator and it's gnashing its teeth. Terrifying.
Bob Kevoian
Dragic posted all of this to his Instagram page. He can be seen trying to grab the gator by the tail multiple times. But the gator continues to escape his grasp.
Tom
Are the kids all watching? Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Drag it.
Tom
That's the assembly we've all been waiting for as a kid. Yes. Hey, we've got a guy out there catching a 10 foot gator, kids. That's fun.
Bob Kevoian
I don't remember any of the assemblies.
Josh Arnold
I do.
Kristi Lee
I remember they would bring in the Birds of prey. Did you ever have the bird assembly?
Tom
The whistling?
Josh Arnold
I had the whistling guy. God, he whistled for 45 minutes.
Bob Kevoian
But is he the guy that much?
Josh Arnold
Didn't he Andy Griffith? He says he did the Andy Griffith theme, but I had to hide that. Especially in 1973. How would you.
Tom
So did he whistle contemporary rock music?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, in 73.
Kristi Lee
Oh, he did them all. Bridge over the River Kwai.
Tom
All the great whistling. Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Oh, boy.
Josh Arnold
That's the only one that stands out for me. Did you have a lot of them?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I bet you did.
Tom
Remember, we had.
Bob Kevoian
Today we're going to teach everyone how to start and maintain their 401k.
Tom
We have the commissioner of baseball.
Josh Arnold
The commissioner of baseball.
Bob Kevoian
Like high school.
Kristi Lee
Did you guys have the Christian weightlifters? Did you ever have those guys?
Bob Kevoian
No, man.
Kristi Lee
I love.
Random Guest/Caller
What.
Kristi Lee
Oh, Christians. Or like, we do this for God. Insane amounts of weights.
Bob Kevoian
They go, Jesus Christ.
Kristi Lee
It was awesome.
Guest/Caller
How much you bench?
Tom
316.
Kristi Lee
I mean, it was kind of like that, but they were just the strongest.
Tom
Lloyd. Why don't you pull that nail out, Josh?
Kristi Lee
I vaguely remembered something like that.
Guest/Caller
Why'd you do a stigmata joke, man?
Kristi Lee
But the man, the birds were all. Because you would sit there and they would go, look at this giant hawk. And then it would fly over us.
Josh Arnold
Oh, nice.
Kristi Lee
Oh, my God.
Bob Kevoian
And crap on the cheerleader's head.
Kristi Lee
No, we were young, elementary school.
Tom
This was the sound effects guy.
Kristi Lee
No, we didn't have him. You had the sound effects guy.
Tom
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Didn't you have the sound effects?
Josh Arnold
Sound effects.
Bob Kevoian
And the guy who made a circle out of a block of wood, A solid wood.
Tom
No, that was on a field trip. Oh, and I mentioned that once in the year to a whole bunch of people had been there, this guy took a stick of wood and he'll carve it into a pair of little mini pliers. One piece of wood.
Kristi Lee
It's pretty skilled. Yeah, it's cool.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. You go ahead and try to do that.
Kristi Lee
I couldn't. I simply couldn't use a professional.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, and actually we're learning how to spell people. Listen, do you remember that we contacted Mr. Sound Effect?
Josh Arnold
Yeah, we did.
Bob Kevoian
He was here on the show. I thought.
Josh Arnold
Was he here in person? I thought he was.
Bob Kevoian
I think he was.
Kristi Lee
That's how good he was. He was on the phone. But you thought he was here in person.
Bob Kevoian
And here's the voicemail he left. I'm not making this up.
Wes Harrison (Mr. Sound Effects)
Yeah, well, she is. Wes Harrison. Mr. Sound Effect. Yeah, I heard. You're using me. She. I'm gonna send the voice down from Chicago and talk to you. Yeah. If you don't listen, I would get your attention. This is Wes Harrison and I'm up here in Des Plaines, Illinois. I heard them mentioning my name on radio. I appreciate that. I thought I'd tell them a little bit of history that's happening here as a result of that. That.
Bob Kevoian
I mean, anything out.
Wes Harrison (Mr. Sound Effects)
So if he gives me a call, I'd like to talk to him. It'd be interesting. In the meantime, I'll gallop off. Okay.
Tom
That's good.
Kristi Lee
The gallop.
Bob Kevoian
Not bad.
Kristi Lee
The Winnie, a little.
Bob Kevoian
But how do you feel about a gun ricocheting?
Kristi Lee
May I hear it again?
Bob Kevoian
Of course.
Josh Arnold
He's listed as a comedian.
Tom
I. I saw him. Mr. Saudi.
Josh Arnold
Wes Harrison. You saw him?
Bob Kevoian
This is the guy you saw when you were a kid?
Tom
That's why he called. I was talking about it on the air.
Josh Arnold
He died in 2019.
Bob Kevoian
We were just getting ready to call DAG on it.
Tom
Wow.
Kristi Lee
Silence has never been so loud.
Bob Kevoian
He didn't get hit in the eye with a baseball, did he?
Tom
Here's the last. Here's the last sound he made.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, right.
Tom
On his deathbed, he went.
Kristi Lee
It was amazing.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, here's another. Mister. See if you can recognize what. Mr. What sound. Mr. Sound effect is doing here.
Kristi Lee
Starting a car in the winter.
Bob Kevoian
Nope. One more time.
Tom
Dog. Dog. That's right.
Bob Kevoian
It's a puppy dog.
Josh Arnold
Did he have an album? You won't believe your ears. Back in 1963. Did you own that?
Bob Kevoian
He would just believe your ears.
Kristi Lee
A dog. Listen to this. That's real good. Sir. Would you. Can we pay you to come talk to our students?
Bob Kevoian
And here's car trouble. Josh. Same sound. The same sound. Sounds like Katherine.
Kristi Lee
He pushed the same button twice.
Random Guest/Caller
Chick.
Kristi Lee
No more your radio tricks.
Bob Kevoian
Here's Katherine Heburn and gone. Golden pod.
Kristi Lee
It sounds like a guy with trimmers.
Tom
This is the guy that inspired Michael Winslow.
Kristi Lee
Who? I'll take over this guy.
Tom
No.
Kristi Lee
Yeah. Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Yes.
Kristi Lee
Authentic stuff. Have you seen Winslow do that Zeppelin thing? Look that up. It's one of the greatest.
Guest/Caller
The creeps and the sweeps and Spaceballs.
Christopher
So fun.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
My night in Shining.
Tom
We have more sports coming up. Believe it or not, we have actual news right now.
Bob Kevoian
Sound effects.
Kristi Lee
I've never seen on Golden Planet.
Tom
Can you do the very short version of the boring story about the spelling?
Kristi Lee
Yeah, I'll get right to that.
Tom
And the kids. No lives.
Guest/Caller
They're doing the scripts. National Spelling. You man. It's exciting for these.
Kristi Lee
There was a winner. Willie you won.
Guest/Caller
Oh, really?
Bob Kevoian
Dev Shaw. That's D, E V. Last name S. H, A H is the champion.
Tom
What's their spelling in English?
Bob Kevoian
Scripps national spelling bee. Yes. The 14 year old from Largo, Florida. Bogey used to call Lauren Bacall slim.
Josh Arnold
Really?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, he loved her.
Kristi Lee
Yeah, yeah, they were very much.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Tom
Is that the movie where the guy talks about stepping on a bee?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Or is that. Yeah, that's not the fellow American down on his luck.
Tom
That's okay. Sorry.
Bob Kevoian
That's treasure this year. Anyway, Dev had his spelling career interrupted by the pandemic, then didn't make it out of the regional be last year. He was though very confident in his last opportunity. This was it. Asking precise questions about obscure Greek roots. This time his winning word was Sam file and his root knowledge made it a layup. It says here he asked all the right questions.
Tom
And it means what, a sandy bug or something?
Kristi Lee
Anything that lives in thrives in sand.
Tom
That's good to know.
Bob Kevoian
Charlotte. Charlotte Walsh, a 14 year old from Arlington, Virginia was the runner up.
Kristi Lee
Okay, there you go.
Tom
Okay, now you have a song about.
Kristi Lee
This tribute to the poor kid.
Random Guest/Caller
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
I be 4E except after C.
Bob Kevoian
Please use it in a sentence for me. I can spell samo file I can.
Random Guest/Caller
Spell sa, M, M, O, P, H.
Kristi Lee
I, L, D, E, Samophile. There you go, little buddy.
Bob Kevoian
There you go.
Tom
No, it's easy to remember.
Kristi Lee
Hey, look at this. Randy's written in from. He says here chick not centrally located. Meridian, Idaho.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, that was one of my gems.
Kristi Lee
Here's a word of the day for Tom.
Tom
Oh, what do we got?
Kristi Lee
Lethal logica. Lethal logica? It means the inability to remember a particular word or name.
Tom
Oh, handy.
Kristi Lee
Isn't that something?
Bob Kevoian
It could be Griswoldia.
Tom
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Yes, that happens to me all the time. So I will keep this handy.
Tom
Thank you very much, Meridian Idaho. We certainly appreciate it. Now, are we still struggling through a sportscast?
Bob Kevoian
Where were we? Taylor Swift, mma. Tom Brady. I don't know what I did with the Taylor Swift sword. Did you take it, Chrissy?
Josh Arnold
No, I did not.
Bob Kevoian
Don't you have a Taylor Swift?
Josh Arnold
I do, but it's not a world record. And you have a world record.
Bob Kevoian
Well, you go ahead and do do your Taylor Swift story first and I'll look for mine.
Josh Arnold
All right. Some Taylor Swift fans report having post concert amnesia. Jenna to Catalyn, who saw Taylor Swift perform a Gillette stadium in Massachusetts, recently told Time magazine she tried to relive moments of the show but could not remember anything. What other fans have taken to social media, Josh. To report similar experiences? Ewan McNay at State University at New York Albany explained people might simply be too excited. He said, quote, this can happen anytime. You're in a highly emotional state. If you're slightly on edge, with a little bit of excitement, you'll actually remember better. But too much excitement pushes you over the edge in terms of memory formation and you're unable to make memories.
Kristi Lee
But that's crazy.
Bob Kevoian
I've heard that adrenaline is a memory stimulator.
Josh Arnold
Well, he says it's just. There's a fine line, though, between the two.
Guest/Caller
These are Taylor Swift fans, all right. They're 23 years. Maybe it's the nine black cherry white claws they drank at the concert, right?
Tom
No, I think.
Josh Arnold
But I mean, I think she has.
Tom
A lot of teen fans. I think that's the way concerts are supposed to be. I can't remember one of those Grateful Dead shows.
Josh Arnold
I can't remember a damn show in the 80s.
Kristi Lee
I think there's something more nefarious at play here.
Josh Arnold
Really.
Kristi Lee
I don't think they went. I think they bought a ticket and somehow. AI. They were implanted with something.
Josh Arnold
Oh, I see where you're going.
Tom
One thing I remember, I remember how much those Taylor Swift tickets cost and how long is.
Kristi Lee
That's why they're so expensive, because they're implanting something into the brain sat online.
Bob Kevoian
Waiting to buy them.
Guest/Caller
Is this similar to the technology that Jake Gyllenhaal's character employs in Spider Man Homecoming by any chance, Josh?
Kristi Lee
You would have to revisit that.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, look, speaking of Taylor Swift record, Taylor Swift broke the Guinness world record for the most simultaneous albums on the US Billboard 200 chart for the second time this year. I didn't know the Billboard 200 chart was still a thing. The 33 year old did. Swift first achieve the record title in March, but broke her own record months later with a total of 10 albums. Swift, the only living artist, have placed as many as 10 albums at the same time on the U. S. Billboard 200 chart.
Josh Arnold
Wow.
Bob Kevoian
Only three other artists in history have had at least ten of their albums simultaneously on the.
Kristi Lee
Let's guess.
Bob Kevoian
Billboard 203.
Kristi Lee
I'm gonna say Madonna.
Bob Kevoian
So we got Taylor Swift and then three others.
Josh Arnold
The Beatles.
Bob Kevoian
What was your guess, Josh?
Kristi Lee
Madonna.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Josh Arnold
The Beatles.
Random Guest/Caller
No.
Kristi Lee
Garth Brooks.
Guest/Caller
Drizzy. Drake.
Bob Kevoian
No.
Guest/Caller
Come on, my boy, Drake's not on.
Tom
Alan Sherman.
Josh Arnold
Beyonce.
Bob Kevoian
That's right, Alan.
Tom
Freddie and the Dreamers.
Bob Kevoian
No. Beyonce? No.
Kristi Lee
Pink Floyd?
Josh Arnold
One Direction?
Bob Kevoian
No.
Tom
No.
Bob Kevoian
Pink Floyd. No. One Direction.
Josh Arnold
Rolling Stones.
Bob Kevoian
Bathtub.
Kristi Lee
Whitney Houston.
Bob Kevoian
That's one.
Tom
Oh, that was your hint. But it could have been Jim Morrison, I guess.
Bob Kevoian
And this other one, not a king, but a antifa.
Kristi Lee
Prince.
Bob Kevoian
Prince. That's right. And then Peter Frampton's best friend from school, David Bowie. David Bowie.
Tom
But that's after they were deceased. Is that correct?
Bob Kevoian
It says here only three other artists in history have had at least ten of their albums simultaneously on the Billboard chart. Doesn't make any. But all of these happen when they had passed away. But it doesn't make any distinction just because they passed away.
Kristi Lee
Okay.
Tom
No, but they were. They achieved that after dying.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, but I don't see.
Tom
Taylor Swift is still alive, so hence it's a record. Record.
Kristi Lee
Is she or is she AI? Just open your minds, people.
Josh Arnold
Yeah. How did she not get electrocuted when she was singing in the rain all that time? Yeah.
Kristi Lee
She's false.
Josh Arnold
Right?
Kristi Lee
Thank you, Rubber shoes.
Tom
She gets to enjoy it while she's alive.
Kristi Lee
That's very good for her. That's great.
Wes Harrison (Mr. Sound Effects)
Yeah, man.
Kristi Lee
Now, is she also going on a world tour? Didn't mean to stop the show. I just don't know.
Tom
I just don't think she's in Chicago this weekend and Cincinnati next weekend. Stadiums.
Wes Harrison (Mr. Sound Effects)
Okay.
Kristi Lee
Those are facts that answered my question. Not at all.
Tom
Well, no, those are. Places are not out of the country.
Josh Arnold
Josh, want to go ahead and say you're still looking for tickets or.
Kristi Lee
Not.
Tom
Now.
Bob Kevoian
Well, you know what's real.
Tom
Go ahead. What do you got?
Kristi Lee
You know, it's less expensive than Taylor Swift tickets.
Tom
What?
Kristi Lee
Telling your children no. You'll be surprised at how cheap deep that is. Do you remember doing that? I used to do it.
Bob Kevoian
I remember.
Kristi Lee
I don't know what happened with the.
Tom
New administration, but I went twice to see the Spice Girls.
Guest/Caller
I remember.
Tom
That's what a loyal dad I am. I remember you raved and they were terrific.
Bob Kevoian
I was gonna say, I bet they put on a great show.
Tom
They were great chick.
Josh Arnold
They did a thing, too.
Bob Kevoian
I did not see.
Guest/Caller
They did a thing with chairs and they were wearing bikinis, but behind the chair they put it. And I. I was imagining boobs for the first time in my life.
Tom
It was awesome.
Kristi Lee
You went.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah.
Kristi Lee
Willie, you can only make out with one Spice Girl. Who is it?
Guest/Caller
Baby Spice.
Kristi Lee
I think that is the wrong answer.
Tom
Correct answer.
Kristi Lee
Which one's Baby Ginger? Spice is the correct answer. Well, I mean, Mrs. Beckham is not unpretty. Let's not get.
Tom
She looks like she'd be a.
Bob Kevoian
She's sour.
Guest/Caller
Yeah, she'd be mean to me.
Tom
Frosty.
Bob Kevoian
I'm not touching that. You pee through it. No, she's.
Kristi Lee
Don't you.
Tom
Very specific.
Kristi Lee
Don't you kind of like a mean girl in sex?
Guest/Caller
It's a. It's a fine line.
Kristi Lee
You think you deserve this, you ugly son of a. Oh, God, I'm hard.
Tom
Wow. We have. We've opened up a can of worms here.
Bob Kevoian
This is awful.
Kristi Lee
More Josh talk.
Christopher
That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher. For Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.

Everything up until this point has been an outside look at the World cup, and now we're giving people an inside look. It is just total pressure cooker.
Kristi Lee
Watching flags come out of little plastic balls is like the epitome of everything that I love. And the World cup is everything. It's why became a soccer fan.

Episode: B&T Extra: Gator Wrestler, Mr. SFX, & a Spelling Bee

Expect the usual whip-smart banter, good-natured roasting, and a cascade of quickfire jokes as the hosts riff on viral news, pop culture, and their own personal (and often absurd) childhood memories.

This episode delivers exactly what BOB & TOM fans crave: wry, rapid-fire commentary on news-of-the-weird, music trivia, and pop culture, all woven together with mischievous, often saucy, group dynamics. The playful nostalgia for school assemblies, heartfelt nod to a comedy legend, and blind-siding one-liners make for a harmlessly unhinged good time—especially for fans of radio’s classic, no-holds-barred morning comedy.
