Bob Trescothick

**Bob Trescothick** is a semi-regular guest who first appeared to discuss meeting his fiancee via the industry dating app Beef Encounters.

Though he is best known as a specialist in bovine arses, Bob has broad zoological knowledge - or so it seemed. As revealed in episode 55, following an investigation into an incident on his television program *Vet in a Helicopter*, it became public knowledge that he has no formal veterinary training. This led to him being barred from practice. He now works a variety of freelance animal-related jobs, and as of episode 65, he is living in his car.

* Episode 83 - Clips from Bob's audio diary was played, covering his feelings shortly before and during the procedute, alongside an interview afterwards. Whilst Micheal survived the surgery, Michael had several issues with how Bob performed the surgery, though Bob insisted all issues were dreamt. Once the cow's face was removed, it was clear Michael needed a face to survive and Bob removed his face to put on Michael. However, this left Bob in an unsurvivable situation and he asked his equine dentist friend, temporarily, for his face.
* Episode 88 - At a live recording of the Beef and Dairy Network Podcast, Bob lets us know about his arse based post-mortem work and his employment by B-ARSE. Tanya - at the same venue for her wedding - recognises Bob from a whirlwind romance in 1998, but it was shortlived as Bob was married with children at the time. Bob recorded a confession of love to Tanya and proposed live on stage, but was rejected. The podcast closed with "Ask a Vet", and Bob running off with Tanya.
