Once upon a time, there was a radio program called The jarfketeer Show w/ Otter.
I was Otter. jarf was jarf.
We did the show for two years. It
was a lot more fun to do than it was to hear.
jarf and my Lock Haven friend Amy have both been kind enough to forward
me some tapes of shows we recorded. I
forwarded said tapes to Shawn, who converted the ‘highlights’ to MP3 files.
I must be out of my mind to post these because, in all honesty, they are
rough. I spent way too much time
hollering and making a bigger fool of myself than usual.
Regardless, I decided to post the files because, while they may not be
great radio, they represent a neat part of my life.

That’s me making the annoying noise in the
background. I did it because our friend
Deener had the tape of our intro music and she wasn’t there.
I actually like this bit, but you can tell I was
listening to way too much Denis Leary back then.
Yeah, we were real
professional.
God help me, I still laugh when I listen to this.
You have to understand that Ren & Stimpy was huge back then. This bit is referencing the ‘Happy, Happy,
Joy, Joy’ song. Still not that funny.
Another one I still laugh at a little. I might have taken the Otter thing a little
far.
jarf would do the show while wearing Mickey Mouse
ears.
The radio station made us run promos every 15
minutes. We loved this one from the Red
Cross.
Horrible.
Absolutely horrible. Do yourself
a favor and skip this one. What was I
thinking?
It is really cool to be jarf’s friend.
Almost as bad as the Bob clip. I think we were getting punchy by this point
in the show.
Deener finally showed up. Way too many people in the studio and it
turned into a bit of a scrum. Still
kinda funny.
The
cluster continues. The only explanation
I can give is there were a lot of people and the room was really hot.
More
of the Same.
Dear
God. What was in the water?
Was
I drunk?
We
only had 1 working CD player, a tape deck, and a turntable (remember
those?). It wasn’t easy to keep music
ready to play.
We
never mastered the whole feedback thing.
Kind
of a nice moment.
First
clip from a show that took place November of 93. We sound a little more polished.
The
radio room was always hot. I decided to
do this show shirtless. Pasty guy w/ no
shirt = Comedy Gold.
Possibly
my favorite moment in radio.
I’ll
have to ask jarf if we figured who the stoned guy was.
CD
theft was rampant at the radio station.
More
stoned guy stuff. We were basically
advertising for a drug dealer over the air.
Good thing we had no listeners or we could’ve gotten arrested.
By
this point, we were getting tired of him.
jarf
isn’t hard to impress.
The
sound goes wiggy here. Not sure
why. Sorry.
It
was an eventful show.
I
pretty much checked out by this point.
The
tagline for WHLU was Toxic Radio. The
prizes we gave, which included CDs and promo posters, were called Toxic Barf
Bags. Appealing, right?
