This segment (11:21) includes a Kukula Patrol where Steve and Garry (the official Steve & Garry historian) list the characters Steve used to do. This piece also has a JB Robinson Jewelers spot. He is the radio predecessor to Tom Shane.

Steve & Garry – March 1981 – Part 2 of 2

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Here is Part 2. This is the first air check that has the “whips”; an audio rendition of someone being whipped to climax for all you BDSM fans out there. It is interesting to note that it is a porn audio clip that was used on the air because this is way before the internet and VCR’s were not yet mass-market.

Highlights include (11:36):

  • Steve gets whipped for lying
  • Lamaze Class
  • “Here’s us” – S&G sing Hey Nineteen. They are really Steely Dan (and REO).
  • Marcus get a raise and has created a Wacky Tape code sheet
  • 3 Stooges stuff and Steve is Curly Howard reincarnated
  • Maggie with some news

Enjoy!!
