Garman, Ralph
The Man of 1,000 Voices (Bush, Gore, Cruise, Pacino, Michael Jackson, the Pope, Jerry Lewis, Dylan are just some), Ralph covers the regular entertainment news segments and often acts as a substitute when Kevin or Bean is not present. He is also known to unleash hilariously bitter rants aimed at Kevin, Bean, 7-11 coffee lids, random celebrity stupidity, country music, and Joan freakin’ Rivers. A recurring joke at Ralph’s expense refers to his spending nearly 2 months filming “Two for the Money” with Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey, only to have all but a few minutes of screen-time cut from the movie. He is also a Philadelphia native and a rabid Philadelphia Eagles fan. Ralph is a collector of Batman-related memorabilia and pines for the day when the 60’s television when finally be released on DVD.
Ralph is the unofficial sex expert on the show as he previously worked for Playboy TV and dated a porn star. For some time he hosted a weekly segment on the show called “Sex U.” which attempted to address sexual issues in an earnest and informative manner. The segment became one of the most notable victims of the FCC crackdown following the Janet Jackson “wardrobe malfunction”.
The reason I listen to the show.
What’s with the barking seals??? I’m guessing it’s an inside joke… I don’t think it originated on-air???
Ralph’s “performing seals” refers to an audio clip of a woman — trying to make this PG-13 — with something deep in her throat. The resulting sound is very similar to a barking seal.
Incidentally, Lisa May isn’t actually a sword swallower, if you catch my drift…
Ralph’s impressions suck! The station is changed when they do a fake phone call with him!
