Do you guys remember. Does anybody remember the Goo Goo Treat? The candy clusters right? Yeah, Clusters.
Josh Arnold
Yeah, absolutely.
Bob Kevoian
That's what it. That's what the hat is, Josh. Yeah, I know.
Tom Griswold
I was asking people in this room if they.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
I'm not familiar with. I know the great band the Goo Goo Dolls. I'm a huge fan of that band. But the Google. I'm not aware of the Goo Goo Cluster.
Josh Arnold
But you're not. He's not wearing an actual Goo Goo Cluster. Josh, it's a hat.
Tom Griswold
What?
Josh Arnold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
You're good yeah, Josh is just. It's just a hat that says Google Cluster.
Tom Griswold
Hang up on this fellow.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Was this one. Was this a product that you sold when you were a salesman?
Bob Kevoian
No, no. I admire the product, but.
Josh Arnold
You admire it?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. We didn't have. We didn't spend a lot of our money on little tchotchkes and garbage like this. We put it into the product.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
I see. Now, what is our topic for today, Tom?
Bob Kevoian
I thought it was time we talked about leopards.
Tom Griswold
Well, they have colonies and a lot of times their arms fall off and their hands.
Josh Arnold
Leopard. L, E, O, P, A, R, D, S. Leopards.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Josh. Yeah, yeah. What?
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Not lepers, fortunately. Fortunately, it's leopards.
Tom Griswold
Oh.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah. Mother Teresa did not do a lot of work with these large cats.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
That would have been funny. Wouldn't that have been funny? And it's a lady in a nun suit in the middle of the Barnum and Bailey circus with a whip and go with God.
Bob Kevoian
You guys know what the leopard spots are called?
Tom Griswold
No.
Josh Arnold
Pips.
Bob Kevoian
No. Good guess, though.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Okay, now, pips are the holes.
Josh Arnold
And dice, Right, Right. Dominoes. Oh, and dice maybe, too. I'm not sure.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
What are the spots on leopard's call?
Bob Kevoian
They're called rosettes.
Tom Griswold
Ah, no kidding.
Josh Arnold
And are they as distinctive as our fingerprints to each leopard?
Bob Kevoian
Man, I don't know that. That's a really good question. Yeah, they, you know, they look sort of rose, like Rosette had a couple of hits back in the 90s.
Josh Arnold
Rock set got the look that was.
Tony Razzie (Character)
The Goo Goo Dolls.
Bob Kevoian
Must have been love. Yeah.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Oh, boy.
Bob Kevoian
Did you guys know that Rock said is the name of the band, not the name of that woman?
Tom Griswold
That's right. That is right.
Josh Arnold
Oh, you thought her name was a short long for Roxy, right?
Bob Kevoian
I thought that her name was Roxette, that her name is Marie Frederickson. This is something I learned.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Is she going solo? Do I need to go get the.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I think she passed away, so.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
That'S about as solo as you can go.
Josh Arnold
By myself.
Tom Griswold
I went to Radio City Music hall and saw the Rockettes do Rockset and they were all kicking to those songs.
Josh Arnold
And weren't they doing no, no, Nanette.
Bob Kevoian
That was the night after. Didn't Sting come out and do Roxan then? Come on. That was okay.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Yeah, with an opening for Roxy Music. Okay, are we done with that?
Tom Griswold
And anywho, back to lepers.
Bob Kevoian
I kind of like where you're heading. Hit the D. They. They go 35 miles an hour, which doesn't even put him in the top 20 animals. Whoa. Up at the top, a lot of birds and fish.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, I was gonna say they. So land animals, though. I bet they're in the top ten mammals.
Bob Kevoian
The number one is not the cheetah. The cheetah is number two. You know what the number one is an animal.
Tom Griswold
Is it the ostrich?
Josh Arnold
Is a bird considered an animal?
Bob Kevoian
No, mammal.
Tom Griswold
Oh, mammal, mammal.
Josh Arnold
All right, go ahead.
Bob Kevoian
The Mexican free tailed bat. Which. Man, that's got to make the cheetah angry.
Tom Griswold
Yes, but that's flying.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Not. That's not on the ground.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, if he was running, I would kill him. I didn't kill him if he was running.
Josh Arnold
And I think the peregrine falcon flies at like 150 miles an hour or something, but it's not a mammal. Yeah, right, okay.
Bob Kevoian
No, no, Yeah, a lot, A lot of birds. A lot of. There's some fast fish too, guys. The sword fish.
Josh Arnold
No, kids.
Bob Kevoian
Real fast.
Josh Arnold
Well, he's built for speed.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Streamlined, if you will.
Josh Arnold
Yes.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. The. They have a varied diet. They Basically anything relatively long, short gestation period, three months.
Tom Griswold
Whoa.
Bob Kevoian
They make several noises like I just did. They. They may have a rasping cough like call that sounds like sawing wood. Interesting, huh? Yeah. So some guys like. Hey, man, I heard you.
Tom Griswold
What?
Bob Kevoian
What's going on? Did. Did you. Oh, you're just actually sawing wood. Sorry.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, you're making a. I see you're making. Building a deck.
Bob Kevoian
He's like, I'm building a crib, man. Did you not hear about the short gestation period? I gotta get going. Male leopards. Not very involved in raising the babies.
Commercial Announcer
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
I understand. They do take a lot of credit for the accomplishments of their children also. Typical.
Josh Arnold
So mother leopards are.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Do we know how many they have in a litter?
Josh Arnold
Single mother, man.
Bob Kevoian
I think I read three is customary.
Tom Griswold
Oh, okay.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Because we just had a story about a guy who had a litter of kids. Who was that again? In the NFL? I forget.
Josh Arnold
Oh, Sean Alexander.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Sean Alexander. What? He had 14 kids.
Josh Arnold
14. Just at his 14th.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Yeah. Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Well, Philip Rivers had like nine or something. Nine or 10.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Yeah. But then he. He stopped because the. The ref called roughing the snapper.
Tom Griswold
Snapper.
Bob Kevoian
What?
Tom Griswold
Good.
Josh Arnold
I haven't heard it called snapper in a long. Not since I worked at the foundry and I heard it called snapper.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Sorry.
Bob Kevoian
Felt like he was going to try to get to that joke one way or the another.
Josh Arnold
Oh, yeah, he was. He was barreling toward it, wasn't he?
Tom Griswold
What made you do it?
Bob Kevoian
What I Said he was going to find a way to get there.
Tom Griswold
What made you do a deep dive on leopards? Are you a fan?
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, I've always been a fan. I can't believe you don't know that. I love leopards.
Tom Griswold
Oh, I didn't know.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Is there such a thing as a deaf leopard or is that just the name of the band? I know they spell it differently, but.
Bob Kevoian
I would imagine, I mean, I'll tell you this, this I thought was fascinating. There are light skin leopards with the. Where you can see the spots, of course. And then there are also black leopards that still have the spots. You just can't see the spots.
Tom Griswold
Oh, no kidding.
Bob Kevoian
Yes. And those are. They are basically leopards with a condition called melanism.
Tom Griswold
Michael Jackson.
Bob Kevoian
Those are. Those are also known as black panthers.
Josh Arnold
I was just gonna ask what the difference.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, okay. Yeah, yeah, those. That's what a black panther is. It's a leper with melanism. And for a while, Marvel tested the name leopard with melanism for that movie.
Josh Arnold
Right. It doesn't have quite the same range.
Bob Kevoian
It doesn't, you're right. Yeah, it just, it just didn't pop. You know, I preferred it. It's more accurate.
Commercial Announcer
Yes, yes.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. They're very good climbers, guys, really. They can go. They can carry their heavy prey right up a tree and they can just hang out there in the tree with their prey. They also, they can adapt very well to urban environments, which is terrifying. They sort of live on the outskirts of Mumbai and they've, you know, work their way into, you know, sort of outer urban society. I saw one of them when I was in Mumbai. It. He was at the Y on those climbing walls. Oh, yeah, they have at the gyms, just rocketing up that thing.
Tom Griswold
Yeah. Really showing everybody up and people were.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, the guy doesn't even have a harness. It's amazing. Leopards originated in Africa quite a while ago and. And some people say between 470,000 to 850,000 years ago. Which, if you're a scientist, man, you think you could dial it in a little better.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, within 50,000 years, maybe.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
A lot of leeway there.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I know. Yeah. So a long, long time ago now, leopard print, that was in the, in the, in the 40s. Christian Dior. Oh, yeah, it was, it was basically for women to sort of say, you can't domesticate me. It was a fierce look.
Tom Griswold
Interesting.
Bob Kevoian
Which is why they made the, the leopard print apron.
Tom Griswold
Yeah, yeah. That was sort of a, kind of a mixed message.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. Eartha Kit wore a lot of leopard print. Her sister's Wind and Fire kit did not wear any leopard print.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Ortho window and fire. Oh, I'm sorry.
Bob Kevoian
Sorry, guys.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Did we get back to roughing the snapper? If you wanna. If you wan. To talk about reaching, I'm gonna do.
Bob Kevoian
It one way or the other. I'm sorry.
Tom Griswold
Wind a kit.
Bob Kevoian
Wind a kit. Wind and Earth a kit. Somewhat stupid, would you say?
Josh Arnold
No, love it. Entirely stupid.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. A lot of bad mothers wore leopard print in film. Anne Bancroft and the Graduate and Margaret and Tommy. Peg Bundy.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah, yeah, they all.
Bob Kevoian
This look was sort of pioneered by punk rocker Poison Ivy from the Cramps. Guys familiar?
Christopher (Producer/Host)
I am not.
Tom Griswold
I have heard some Cramps.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, yes. It was in the. In the 60s and 70s. It was. It was sort of like counterculture punk rock B52s.
Tom Griswold
May have had a little bit of leopard print as well every now and again.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, did they not, Fred?
Tom Griswold
But the. The women. Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
What was her name?
Tom Griswold
Sally Buffon.
Bob Kevoian
I don't think so.
Josh Arnold
That sounds right. Yeah, because she had a solo hit or something. Yeah. I forget what her name. Yeah, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
Lions, tigers and hyenas will steal the leopard's prey. Oh, this is a thing in the animal kingdom known as klepto parasitism.
Tom Griswold
Sure, sure, sure.
Josh Arnold
And the bad thing about the hyenas, not only would they steal, but they'd laugh about.
Bob Kevoian
Oh, yeah, really rub it in. Really burns you up, doesn't it? It's insult to injury is what it is.
Josh Arnold
That's exactly right.
Bob Kevoian
I don't like it. Yeah, they, they. Yeah, they wait till you. You get something and then they just swoop on in. We used to, in wrestling practice in college, you know, we would wrestle live and then every now and then our coach would come in and wrestle after we'd been wrestling each other for a very long time. Let me jump in there. Which we sort of. We call that vulturizing, you know?
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
We're already tired. We're already. Already feeling. But he was tough.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
He'd roll around with you guys night.
Bob Kevoian
No, he would wrestle us.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
That's what I mean. I mean, touching and grabbing and kissing.
Tom Griswold
A little bit.
Josh Arnold
Of tickling. You got it. You got to admit, he hugged you a couple times.
Bob Kevoian
He did not. I mean, there is a move called the bear hug.
Tom Griswold
Oh, yeah.
Bob Kevoian
That's how it starts.
Josh Arnold
I bet there is.
Bob Kevoian
Ask yes.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Now we're segueing into the homoerotic aspects of leopards.
Bob Kevoian
No, we're not.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
We're not okay.
Josh Arnold
Would you like to dance seven times.
Bob Kevoian
Better than humans in the, in the dark? Guys, I'll say it again.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
I'm sorry, we interrupted.
Josh Arnold
What?
Bob Kevoian
Imagine that.
Josh Arnold
You know, the only thing you got going for you is you're really nice. So watch it. Okay. Leopards can see seven times better than humans.
Bob Kevoian
See, somebody's listening. Seven times better than humans in the dark.
Josh Arnold
Wow. Wow. Cool.
Bob Kevoian
Yes, I've tested this.
Tom Griswold
Oh yeah?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, I had. It was with one of my leopard friends and another leopard was holding some, some playing cards far off in the dark.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Bob Kevoian
And I said, I said that's ace of clubs. And he said, no, that's a seven of clubs.
Tom Griswold
Oh, he saw it better.
Bob Kevoian
Guys, if they're. The tip of the tail starts twitching, watch out. That's when they're hunting.
Tom Griswold
Oh, so that's a good sign.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Hey, they might be hunting you.
Bob Kevoian
Well, I don't think they go after humans.
Josh Arnold
Is this one of the where they're scared? More scared of you than you are them?
Bob Kevoian
I don't know, Chick, but I really like this sort of the little slight lilt that you had.
Josh Arnold
Well, that's a, it's a folksy saying.
Bob Kevoian
Yeah, yeah, a lot. I wish you would do more of that.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Said said to many people before they were attacked by a wild animal. Don't worry about that snake. He's more afraid of. Oh, by the way, Greg, I was doing some homework here. What does your hat say again?
Bob Kevoian
Googoo cluster.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
Did you know that the band the Cramps, one of their big hits was called Goo Goo Muck?
Bob Kevoian
I did not know that.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
So it's all, it's all tying in.
Bob Kevoian
I didn't know. It feels as if when I was doing the report you were just looking at some stuff.
Tom Griswold
That is what he does.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
You know, I just, I did, I was not familiar with the cramps and I, I, I'll have to.
Tom Griswold
He's easily listen to them every 28 days.
Bob Kevoian
Speaking of short gestation periods, do you know who has the shortest.
Josh Arnold
Vermin? Eight weeks mouse. Goldfish.
Bob Kevoian
A mouse sized animal. Mouse sized marsupial known as the stripe faced donnered.
Josh Arnold
Oh, what's that?
Bob Kevoian
It's, it's like.
Josh Arnold
It's just like your regular donner. Don't. It has a striped thing.
Bob Kevoian
Okay, thank you so much for clearing that up, Chick.
Tom Griswold
Thank you. It's like you're talking.
Bob Kevoian
It's like a, a mouse with the, like a, like a kangarooish mouse, basically.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
And what is the gestation period?
Bob Kevoian
11 days. Wow.
Josh Arnold
Man. Was there anything funnier than when Sylvester and his little son would go out fighting the the mouse. And Sylvester got a hold of a kangaroo.
Christopher (Producer/Host)
That's my favorite, man. That was favorite of all time.
Josh Arnold
Boy, oh boy, that kangaroo kick. Sylvester.
Tom Griswold
My father, the stripe faced donard is adorable. Absolutely adorable.
Josh Arnold
Does he look like Brave. Brave.
Bob Kevoian
And you be careful when you think they're so adorable. Because if you guys, you know, get together, you're not going to have a lot of time to get your life in order. Because 11 days later, you're going to have a child.
Tom Griswold
Yeah.
Josh Arnold
Holy heck. Really?
Bob Kevoian
Yeah. 11 days.
Josh Arnold
It's impressive.
Bob Kevoian
No time to build a room.
Tom Griswold
A baby room. Oh, no.
Bob Kevoian
Exactly like the bat. You. You have a kid, it takes a lot of planning, right?
Josh Arnold
Barely get the crib.
Tom Griswold
