Several Rib-Splitting Moments! The Humor was Great! The voice carried a PRPD core value of being conversational -- and yet the humor came through very well. The pacing was perfecto!
There was one routine that I found not only to not be funny but offensive. I have recommended that the producer remove (and if he does I will remove this comment) the routine where the boy dreams of killing his father. I recommend to station managers or PRPDs that you edit out that disgraceful routine. It's short and could be replaced with a song or support message or other announcement for the duration of that poorly devised excuse for humor. Honoring one's parents is a PRPD core value under the fullest meaning of Civility and the Quality of Respect.
This kind of variety from the norm would probably be a welcome relief for a Saturday night or Sunday airing.
This is great comedy and is perfect for enjoyment on the radio. I laughed out loud several times, especially during the phone calls. This is a funny, funny piece! The piece is paced well and keeps the listener engaged.
This would work great on a holiday or as a special anytime, probably best on a weeknight or Saturday.
Nice work, we could use more of this on the radio.
