The funniest guy I ever heard on the radio. Thanks for all the laughs grease.

[@mog882]

More genuine than stern. Howard Stern’s a fucking sell out or used to love the guy I should’ve gone with my gut instinct that he was a phonetic. When he turns into a politically correct/liberal (Or at least became obvious about it) and promoted Hillary Clinton I was done. I never put the shell back on ever again. I hadn’t been listening to it as much but that was it.

[@tomconner5067]

I have to agree, he is very entertaining

[@rscottus5454]

Gawd, it was so long ago. He was hilarious. His skits as Lawman, Sgt Fury..... The lawman as a rookie...walking in the station with his instructor asks "why are they dipping their bullets in dog poop? .......So if the bullets dont kill the perp...the infection will" I almost died.

[@ernsttrekiew198]

Loved the old line: "Why are rookie cops like bananas? They're born green, they live yellow and they die rotten!"

A classic I never knew existed. I came to DC in August 1985, and discovered Grease within a short time. He really did change the way Washington talks.

[@davidthompkins9397]

Once I started to listen to greaseman I could not listen to no other radio station in the mornings

[@NASAHUB]

Used to listen to him everyday on my drive to work in the D.C. area. He had a great show - lots of fond memories of his hilarious bits.

[@pattyhardee1157]

Hi, I'm the comedienne that was on the show and won the date. We actually went on the date.

[@SteveOlsen]

Hi Patty! Nice to see you here. I think I heard Grease in a later interview say the date went fine but there was no follow-up. Do you have any interest in writing a brief summary of the whole show & date? I could even put it on my Greaseman.org web site if you're interested in that! --Steve

[@christopherallen9580]

was the date fun?

[@NeoNero83]

So...how'd it go?

[@KingOFuh]

That is NOT Patty. I know her and she would never admit in PUBLIC to blowing the Greaseman on that date.

[@cosmodave69]

"You know what bothers me?"This will be saved for years to come"...How Prophetic.

[@jonhanson6128]

i was lucky enough to be able to have this man wake me up daily , i moved away in 87 came back home and year later did some work with this guy and i can tell you he was a blast to hang out with

[@toyman81]

Almost listened to him every weekday from 1981 until his unfortunate situation in 1993. Miss hearing him these days.

[@mullaneymike79]

I loved listening to this dude but now I'm seeing he really seem like good ppls

[@Formerlywarmer]

I listened to the Grease man in 78 through about 81 on WAPE the big ape out of Jacksonville fla while I was riding to school in Saint Mary’s GA with my older sister

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Bachelorette number two would have been disqualified in her greeting when she said happy Valentimes day.

[@misterm5325]

I picked up on that too. I had to rewatch it to confirm

[@thatsjustrong7618]

I did the same thing had to rewind it because I'm thinking, she did not say Valentime's Day did she? Rewounded and yeah she did😮

I remember seeing him on Larry King along with Scott Shannon of Z-100. Grease brought his personality with him. Shannon barely said two words.

[@davidthompkins9397]

I used to listen to The greaseman back in 89 decided today November 15th 2019 to search for him this is so funny

[@joperry815]

I was listening from Annapolis when Greaseman first moved from Florida to DC. He was still there when I left the Navy, and moved away. Years later I visited LA. I was searching for a station to listen to, and mind blown, there was that familiar voice! Sure enough, it was Sgt Fury! Gotta love that very sexy voice.

[@mooseandsquirrel9887]

The great Nino Greaseminnelli…..the best there ever was…..hobble do gee !!!!

Thanks for the vid; memories.

Miss this guy and the stories about Sgt Furey !

[@SongSwan]

He was something else back in those days,anyone living in the DC area knew him.Now all you hear is standard issue drones.

[@cosmowanda868]

The station was not WRC Channel 4; it was actually WDVM Channel 9.

[@SteveOlsen]

Well I'll be damned. Thanks for the correction - I'll fix the text!

[@ListerMotorsports]

Incredible ! Thank you !

[@Robocoppat]

You can tell that he was more interested in the Penthouse Pet than the girl by his side. The look on his face said it all.

[@cameronduff884]

I see what you mean, but as far as the one that has his same quick wit,I think he made the right choice.

[@Pineemonkeys2ndchannel]

Nino Greaeminelliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii😂 hobble de geeeeeeeee🤪 the grease all high up 😮‍💨

[@steverudder3321]

The man handles himself well in a rough situation. 👏 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Greaseman on 95.5 KLOS FM Los Angeles during the short time that he was here. Unfortunately, the West Coast didn't appreciate his exaggerated intellectual humor. Nevertheless, I was able to record a few shows for my own personal enjoyment. Unfortunately, they are on cassette tape, and I no longer have a player.😢 Live long and prosper, Nino. 🖖😁👍

[@awakenedfate7568]

🤣🤣🤣 Grease tapping that ass at the end on stage...living Legend😎

[@jorgejefferson8251]

This would never happen in this day and age.

[@queasylagumo]

When I first heard the Greaseman in Washington D.C. I thought it was pirate radio. The first bit I heard him do was the Clint Eastwood, well punk, did I make you squeal 5 times or was it 6? I thought no way would the FCC allow this.

[@jeffrobodine239]

Grease is the best ! That being said, he fu*ked up ! He saw that penthouse pet and said SSSSHHHHIIIITTTT !!!!!!

The thing you notice...back then...wow..we all got along together.

[@mountjoyj]

I have never seen this?? Can I assume this is after his marriage to Anita??

[@eric_in_florida]

One of a kind man, one of a kind.

[@christopheraaron8299]

He doesn’t look anything like what I imagined he did when I was a teenager listening to him in the DC area.

[@misterm5325]

I felt the same way when I first saw what he looked like. Voice doesn't match the face at all! I think that makes it funnier now.

[@marypapak5759]

He was really handsome

[@davanmani556]

He got addicted to pumping iron. He didn’t think it was a sickness.

[@jeffcraven7376]

I'm a West Virginian who lived in the D.C. area '85-'91' & The Grease was the best part of it all, except for the great times in USAF. My city gal left D.C. in '93 & I tuned in the Grease whenever I got within DC101's range until...Grease made a comment about race that turned me off, & also turned the heat up & burned his doodads off on 101.Called him two times around '90-'91 when he made negative comments about WV. Still the Grease is the man who gets the most gut wrenching laughs out of me. Is he still on the air, and where? I need a grease fix.

[@joseftrumpeldor6240]

jeff Craven Grease retired from broadcasting about 2005 or so; I used to be part of a Yahoo Greaseman Group but that fell apart a few years ago. I miss him too!

[@jeffcraven7376]

+Von Noosh Thanks Herr Von Noosh, I believe the site also list the times when you can hear him live or latest broadcast ; will have to check it out again between hobble-da-gees if Estelle's 32 y/o niece lets me free, FREE!

[@joseftrumpeldor6240]

I don't know if it's my browser (Pale Moon, a Firefox clone) or my internet connection or what, but I was never able to tune him in on WRC. I just have to content myself with listening to all the great CDs that Grease cranked out. Sigh...

I've always thought that was what got the Greaseman in trouble was his routine was getting predictable and Sterns antics were somewhat refreshing and the Grease was trying to match that but went too far.

Does anyone remember a radio show in the DC area in the 80's - it wasn't Greaseman or Stern - it was two jocks and they had a pick the ugly bride contest. Listeners would phone in and call out the ugliest bride from the society pages and the winner would receive a free bucket of KFC. Does anyone remember anything else about that show?

[@markraven7316]

Totally stupid, ridiculous......weird act. I listened to him everyday for a couple years while working in DC. Somehow if you listened to radio all day, he kept you entertained.

[@mog882]

That poor bastard, that comedian chick must’ve felt like shit. He barley covered it up at all that he was a bit annoyed. Even as a good looking disc jockey it’s still a pain in the ass to go out and find these girls when he just could’ve picked her and they were going out tonight. The fact of the matter is he will not be going out with the Penthouse Pet that night, which sucks. As long as you’re decent looking if you can keep these girls laughing you can get a girl that’s literally a 10. They get to a certain point in hotness where they just don’t even expect you to be as good looking as them (In the male counterpart sort of way) the less good looking you are the more attention for their looks which they are perfectly fine with. You just have to have something about you that turns them on. Good looking, money or very entertaining/funny. Preferably a combination but not necessarily.

[@BandiGetOffTheRoof]

Grease man is so funny but this was awkward...then again, most of the 80's were awkward...

[@mog882]

The 80s were a transitional period. That 70s into the 80s were the time that America’s “innocence” of any sort was lost. At least in major cities. ***Below is irrelevant but it has a fun dating story from about a week ago and some good tips for getting laid or at least for when you do get laid. That’s why I to this day it’s best to live in Nebraska or something. Speaking of Nebraska the other day I went out on a date from the app “Bumble,“ with this girl “Heather.” She looked decent in her photos and the very worst picture, which is the only one you should always use in online dating, she looked like maybe she needed to lose like 10 pounds, when she walked up to my car she was wearing all black and very covered up I needed to lose 40. Lying pig, such a nice conversations with her on the phone I knew there was a catch. Blonde white chick who’s been dating Muslims from Iraq and a guy that’s half black and half Puerto Rican. I should’ve known something was up she didn’t tell me that until the date though. I’m too damn nice, I should’ve just driven away and told her she was a lying bitch. I couldn’t say anything nasty once she had gotten in my car because then she could say I tried to rape her or assault or whatever. Then I had to be nice. I told her that I wanted to drive someplace nearby to talk before I dropped her off, when I thought about it it was actually a creepy movie not the smoothest, but her street was too busy to park on. I had to set up to make out with her to see what was up just in case. She wasn’t that disgusting I figured maybe I could go up in fuck her, with 50 mg of Viagra I would’ve been able to do it. The best Trump quoteis “if you need Viagra you’re with the wrong woman,”it really is true to an extent, but I get nervous that I won’t be hard anymore and once that gets in your head you know you’re done. Ever since I’m literally 23 years old, the year Viagra came out, I always take it on a first date. Your rock hard and then you can go again 20 minutes after you come. It’s just so important that that first performance is terrific.Viagra I agree gives you the confidence it’s a great back up. Bluechew.com (No I’m not affiliated in any way with them) has a great formulation and super easy to work with for generic Viagra. It’s chewable and works super quick.
