Dad would listen to them. Not in Boston but NYC so I suppose they were syndicated. I also remember them as the the cartoon voices of Bert and Harry Piels for the Piels beer tv commercials.

I don’t think they were syndicated. They had a NYC news show interspersed with their brilliant comedy routines spoofing radio. I worked at WOR at the time. My oldest chum was their engineer and producer.

For several years, Bob and Ray did the afternoon show on WOR 710, from 3-7. I would listen to them when I got home. Funny!

During that period, they also had a Broadway show, “Bob and Ray: The Two and Only”. So many of their classics. I saw it with my Dad.

They did the Slow....Talkers...of....America sketch just before the intermission.

“Let....me....tell....you....the....cre-do....of....the....S....T....O....A.”

(Drop curtain — 15 minute intermission.)

(Curtain rises)

“And....that....about....wraps....up....the....cre-do....of....the....S....T....O....A.”
