Welcome to the weekend and Podcast #186...our special tribute to the great Radio comedy team "Bob & Ray". With the death of Bob Elliot this week at the age of 92, Jackie and I, along with our special guest Tom DeLisle, celebrate the comic genius of these two Radio pioneers. We play three of their classic bits... including "The Slow Talkers Of America" and an interview by "Wally Ballou". Plus I'll tell you why I turned down an offer to "replace" Bob & Ray on a radio station in New York.

If you were fans of theirs, you'll love the bits. If you're not familiar with them... you are in for a treat.

So join us as we showcase two guys who influenced so many TV and Radio personalities... From Johnny Carson & David Letterman to Yours Truly.

Have a great weekend and I'll see you back here Monday with my regular blog!
