The Place: The recording studios of Spew Radio Inc..
The Time: Summer of 1979
Channel: None
Recorded With: A Sears cassette recorder from a turntable, 8-track player and microphone.
Characters:
Bob: (AKA "Riddler"), a local resident of King Of Prussia Pa., and member of Channel 2, and part time associate of Channel 13. Bob was one of those guys who likened himself as a "lady's man", and indeed, he did manage to pull off that role fairly well on the CB, where his relative anonymity allowed him to loosen up his inhibitions. But in person, Bob was super shy to the point of actually putting a bag over his head when he was cornered by one young lady who desperately wanted to meet him face to face.
Lynn: Another resident of King Of Prussia, and frequent visitor to both Channel 2 and 13. Lynn was a fairly attractive girl who was also a bit on the "stuck up" side. She wouldn't give most of us the time of day. Yet she somehow fell under the spell of Bob's smooth talking.
Background: So what do you get when you mix a person with a made up persona, together with another with unrealistically high standards? Well, in this case, you have two people who, over the radio, projected the image of a couple desperately wanting to "hook up", but who kept missing the boat. Bob would make "dates" and then fail to show up, even going as far as to hide in wait to see when Lynn would show up, so he could see her, without her seeing him. Lynn, for her part would play down her interest in Bob, but never seemed to pass up an opportunity to show up when he was supposed to be there. The whole thing was comical from an outsider's perspective, and true to form, we just couldn't let it go without lampooning it.
