Happy Talk

A serious, angry Bob starts off the show talking about a civil-rights group that wants to censor him, and asks for people to sound off. They don't. Bob just gets madder and insists on clean, happy talk that doesn't offend anyone. Almost in spite of itself, this is a good one.

The Great Rock & Roll Debate

Once again, Rocky manages to inspire masses of violent disagreement from other callers. This time it's got nothing to do with any racial or ethnic controversies: It's the explosive question of who was the greater rock & roll band, The Rolling Stones or Led Zeppelin?

The Lassiter Group


A famous (and infamous) radio encounter between Lionel, Carolyn from New Port Richey, Rocky, and Captain Jack. They argue the issues, call each other names, scream, fight, and in many cases make fools of themselves, leaving Bob (as moderator) to be the calm voice of reason for once. It's one of the cornerstones of any Lassiter airchecks library.

The Lassiter Group - Prelude

Our oldest clip of Lassiter's days at WFLA is this one, in which Bob sets up the future classic known as "The Lassiter Group." He brings on three of the eventual panel members - Rocky, Lionel, and Carolyn from New Port Richey - to make arrangements and do a little pre-arguing. That's just part of this aircheck, though, which is really more of a free-for-all of Bob's favorite subjects, including Reagan-bashing (and a surprising amount about breasts).

Rocky's Aftermath

"Have you ever heard me more congenial?" Bob asks at the beginning of this clip. It's an anything-goes Friday night and there's a lot on people's minds --- but one of the most popular topics is Rocky's astonishing outburst from the previous evening.
