Bob & Ray Public Radio show 1987

[@deputay]

Just noticed there are ads at the start of this - sorry, that's all KZbin, not me! Also, as you'll notice, this is 2 episodes together. I've separated the rest out individually for the playlist on my page!

[@zelmoziggy]

No need to apologize. If it weren’t for those ads, you wouldn’t be able to post this pirated content.

[@deputay]

@@zelmoziggy No, I have a 35-year-old audio tape, KZbin is making money off someone else's content (The Radio Foundation) in case you're hunting for pirates

Internet Archive has 434 Bob and Ray Shows. Many from their time on WNBC and WOR radio. Bob And Ray were on in Boston. But became national attention while in NYC. Their PBS are all rehash of skits done many years before their stint in the 70's-80's. Also Chris Elliot is Bob's son.

They played these on Friday nights when i was a kid. I loved them so much then and am so happy to hear them again. Thank you.

[@deputay]

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment

[@tomwestbrook]

I absolutely loved this show back in the day. Their comedy doesn’t age.

[@mrenfilade7178]

Pure nostalgia! My Dad had 3 volumes of cassette tapes of classic B&R I wore out playing them overandover again as a kid. Their comedy is timeless and wholesome and revolutionary -- Bob and Ray essentially invented the drive time, "morning zoo" radio shows copied by Opie and Anthony, and Howard Stern. @deputay Thank you!

[@deputay]

You're welcome! And please check out the B&R playlist on my page. We might have had the same tapes - I played these a lot & had to upload them when I couldn't find them on here. Enjoy & Happy New Year!

[@tracyjordyn]

These two are fantastic

[@tonyultrasound]

Wow!! I recorded these when they aired but over the years and many moves lost them. I've been looking for them forever. Thanks for uploading them!!!

[@deputay]

You're welcome! I put up a playlist on my page of the episodes we taped (and a few given as trades). Enjoy!

Have a photo offered free from this NPR show in a place of honor on my fridge. Bob and Ray: never mean-spirited, always funny. God bless them.

[@onlychilddmh]

Hurrah! I'm a life long Bob and Ray fan and the NPR show in the 80s was possibly my favorite of their work. It's all genius,though and like you ,I cassette recorded them every week. I may still have the cassettes but nothing to play them on! I just subscribed and look forward to your posts! Thank you!

[@deputay]

You're welcome! Great hearing from a fellow fan. I have a B&R playlist on my page of all my uploads so far. Please check it out!

I wish you had kept the credits and closing stinger for each episode, but it was great to hear these again. We used to borrow cassette tapes from the library of Bob & Ray Public Radio Shows to listen to during vacations. The "turns out this stuff was lead after all" line got one of the series' biggest laughs, I think.

[@deputay]

The tape ran out for this one, but if you check the other B&R episodes in the playlist on my page, you'll hear the credits. (Plus, I was 10 years old when I received these tapes, and I assure you I didn't know otherwise!)

[@MarkMcCluney]

This is absolutely wonderful! I've been looking for these PBS Bob and Ray shows for ages - coming across your channel is better than finding a goldmine! Cheers mate, I really appreciate this.

[@deputay]

So glad you found them! I've uploaded 3 others and made a playlist on my page with them all so check it out! I'll also be uploading another episode on Thursday of this week if the transfer goes OK

[@MarkMcCluney]

@@deputay Brilliant! See you on Thursday then!

[@williamtell5365]

Found out about these guys through a Letterman podcast. This was before my time so I'm just getting familiar with their stuff. It's great.

[@deputay]

Absolutely- I made a playlist on my channel of the episodes I've uploaded. Let me know what you think!

[@williamtell5365]

@@deputay I'll check it out. Thanks.

I LISTENED TO THESE GUYS GROWING UP --B4 EVERYONE HAD A TV (BELIEVE IT OR NOT) HILARIOUS EVEN AS A KID--(SO I THOUGHT) !!!

[@ramblinshoelace3443]

Gen Z-er that happens to be a hardcore B&R fan here!!! I can confirm that in this day and age, they’re still hilarious.

The best! All the brightest comics refer to Bob and Ray as mentors❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@stephenclickard9428]

I USED TO LISTEN TO BOB&RAY WITH MY MOTHER LIVE ON THE RADIO IN THE EARLY 50s.

[@expat2010]

Love these guys! IDK if they were stoned or not but their humor sure goes with that state of mind!

[@stephenclickard9428]

Speaking of the voice and humor of KEN NORDIN GET THE COMPILATION OF WORD JAZZ. You will glad you did, it’s on a cd all the best of word jazz and more.

[@deputay]

Yes! That's a classic. Here's another Ken Nordine commercial on my page: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2LMfZ13rcxgqsUsi=xGcPff_r3BgW2vQy

I remember those guys on WTIC. !!!

You might notice that Ray is covering up his fly. This is because when the photographer was ready to take his picture, Ray was just coming out of the John and wasn't ready.

[@eduardo_corrochio]

haha .... Apparently you were right there in summer of '83. ;-)

Very clever champs.

[@BixLives32]

Yes, these are available in digital stereo, high fidelity for a nominal charge. However, I realise that many of your prefer monaural, low fidelity, so I would not dare to pee in your cornflakes. ...so to speak...
