Well, talking endlessly may be a necessity; since hardly anyone listens to
WNRB, getting callers may be a problem. I do not recall Ferrell, the
co-host, talking dirty on earlier incarnations of the show. But Ferrell's
former sidekick (identified only as Rocket Man) had a very rough-spoken
"dese and dose" presentation. I don't recall him talking dirty either, but
it's hard to imagine someone with that sort of presentation not doing so.
