Personality and traits
Unlike Darrell Cartrip, Bob takes his announcing rather seriously, with him usually providing the factual commentary while Darrell provides humorous information and speculation. These qualities have landed him additional announcing occupations on television and radio, such as America's Funniest Sports Utility Vehicles, tractor pulling, monster truck rallies, and even the Olympics.
