Jack Gale himself contributed this one, with a note that “someone” sent it to him. It’s possible this was a pre-recorded hour for some reason, but it’s more likely this was a demo recording intended to introduce Jack’s show to potential advertisers. The biggest clue is that the famous, deep reverb that was always on the WAYS audio chain was missing, and everything had a bit of tape echo instead. We did add some reverb, and also restored the music, which also seems unlike the regular WAYS playlist.
The good news is that this recording sounds like Jack’s morning show, and it includes many of Jack’s favorite gags, including Helicopter Harry, Jan Piercing (The World’s Most Widely Disgusted Tenor), Cousin Floyd and The Gorilla. It’s likely that the late Jack Armstrong was inspired by Gale’s Gorilla when he worked at WAYS overnights as John Larsh in 1965.
