We hope you enjoy this special treat from Larry, Dr. Chris and Colonel Jeff. We're bringing you a New Year's episode of The Fred Allen Show which originally aired on 12/14/47. Fred Allen was known for his quick ad libs and cornball recurring characters. Although the show may sound tame by today's standards, his wordplay and double entendre pushed to the edges of acceptable content in its day and he was often censored by the network. Listen for the punchline of the "rainmaker" joke in this episode. Allen and Jack Benny had a completely made up show biz feud that went on for decades. Enjoy and we'll see you next week!

We hope you enjoy this little Christmas present from Larry, Dr. Chris and Colonel Jeff. We're bringing you a Christmas episode of The Jack Benny Show, arguably the best old time radio comedy. The episode originally aired 12/24/44. We think the humor is sharp and quirky and holds up surprisingly well almost 70 years later. Enjoy and we'll see you in the new year.

Larry's Christmas extravaganza returns with the telling of his "Does He Drink Coffee?" story, a tradition we started last year, when Larry returned from his accident. We bring you a Christmas joke of the week, a bonus Christmas song parody and then Larry recites the poem "A Visit From Santa." From Larry, Dr. Chris and Colonel Jeff, we wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for listening!
