Speaker 1 0:00
I’ll tell you what, let’s call it for pizza.
Speaker 2 0:04
I can’t do that I can’t call up and say this is the President of the United States end up a sausage pizza. Just tell
Speaker 1 0:11
them who you are. Just tell them to send it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Bob Smith 0:17
That’s a cut from a comedy album from 1963. During the administration of President John F. Kennedy, it was called the First Family and it was released six decades ago. Now you remember that? Do
Marcia Smith 0:30
I do it was hilarious. Everybody liked it, teenagers, old people. That
Bob Smith 0:36
was a different time back then we could laugh and joke about presidents. And now as we look back 60 years on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, we want to first remember why he was such a popular president and how humor played a great role in that affinity people had for him. We’ll explore that today on the off ramp with Bob
Marcia Smith 0:57
and Marsha Smith.
Bob Smith 1:14
Welcome to the off ramp a chance to slow down steer clear of crazy and take a side road to sanity. Now, there was a time when presidential humor meant something entirely different than it does today. It wasn’t late night comedians telling snarky jokes about people they hate. It was humor, real humor that was even handed bipartisan and hilarious for people of all ages. This
Speaker 2 1:40
shows a low rate of economic growth, therefore, it is not with the too much concern that I say go raise from 25 to 35. He’s not completely out of record, when compared with the current financial deficit on hand. Now, I trust that answers your question about your weekly allowance, Caroline.
Bob Smith 2:00
So Marsha, what’s your remembrance of JFK? We were young kids at the time. Yeah. So what was your impression of him?
Marcia Smith 2:07
He was like a wit. Yeah, I mean, he had good wit very funny. I don’t know, even if my parents voted for him. You know, we didn’t sit around the table talking about politics, but I thought he was good looking. Yeah, he had a movie star quality too. He did. He was beguiling and very witty, and I found that charming.
Bob Smith 2:24
I think that’s what we all thought of him. i My folks didn’t vote for him either. But they liked him. Now, I just discovered this. He did 64 press conferences. In his term, he was only president for 1000 days, less than three years. That’s one press conference every 16 days. They were all live. So he was on TV all the time. We saw him on the news every night every two weeks was smart. That’s why he seemed to be ubiquitous. Yeah, you know, and every press conference, there seemed to be one or two moments when there was something funny because somebody asked something that he could poke fun at
Speaker 3 3:01
the present. The Democratic platform in which you ran for election promises to work for equal rights for women, including equal pay to wipe out job opportunity, discriminations, now you have made efforts on behalf of others. What have you done for the women according to the promises of the platform?
Speaker 4 3:26
I’m sure we haven’t done enough and I must say I am a strong believer in equal pay for equal work. And I think that we ought to do better than we’re doing. And I’m glad that you reminded me of it.
Bob Smith 3:45
He answered the question eventually. But funny. And he seems to do this more with female reporters. Here’s another one that
Speaker 5 3:52
your brother had recently on television, that that after seeing the cares of Office on you that he wasn’t sure he’d ever be interested in being the president. I wonder if you could tell us whether if you had it to do over again, you would work for the presidency and whether you can recommend the job to others?
Speaker 4 4:08
Well, the answer is, the first is yes. And the second is No, I don’t recommend it to others.
Bob Smith 4:16
At least for a while. There was a trip to Ireland where he spoke to people in a very charming way he handled the crowd there.
Speaker 6 4:24
There is an impression in Washington that there are no Kennedy’s left in Ireland that they’re all in Washington. And I wonder if there any Kennedys in this audience, could you hold up your hand and so I can see. I’m glad to see if you guys didn’t catch the boat.
Bob Smith 4:46
missed the boat. Most of that was just off the cuff stuff. He had a natural wit so it was only natural for people to come up with a record of them above I’ll take well here’s a guy who’s got a sense of humor and he laughs at himself. We could laugh with him. Yeah. And that was Earl Dowd, who was a comedy writer who had written for many people, including Jackie Gleason, Bob Hope, Bob and Ray and, and even went on to write for Welcome Back, Kotter. He was around for a long time. In 1982, I interviewed him. And we talked about this album, how did the first family album with one meter,
Earl Dowd 5:24
how did that get its idea? Well, actually, I saw one on a talent scout show on one of the networks. And he did the President, of course, doing a press conference. And then this JFK coloring book had come out around that time. Do you remember that? But no, I don’t think so. I well, it was a coloring book with all the family and I thought, gee, you know, what a great family and how can there must be a way to do them, you know, and then I thought record, that would be really exciting. Mr.
Unknown Speaker 5:55
Foster of the Internal Revenue Service
Unknown Speaker 5:57
to see you. Oh,
Unknown Speaker 5:59
yeah, she the tax bill, send me in.
Speaker 7 6:06
I’m from the Internal Revenue Service, and I’m here to investigate the 1962 tax return if Mr. John F. Kennedy.
Unknown Speaker 6:16
If he was here just a few minutes ago, I just don’t I just don’t know where he could have gone.
Unknown Speaker 6:25
I’ll get right to the point. How much did you make last year?
Speaker 2 6:28
I made what two presidents get
Unknown Speaker 6:33
$100,000 a year. So that’s
Speaker 2 6:36
where the 100,000 came from. Just funny thing, Jackie and I were going over the household budget there was it was just 100,000 we couldn’t account for.
Speaker 7 6:46
Okay, now let’s check your deductions under medical expenses. I see you have 23 rocking chairs. Now you must admit sir 23 rocking chairs is a bit much. Let’s settle for 810. Nine to deal. Now you, let’s see about your itemized list of travel deductions. Washington, the Palm Beach, the Washington the Hyannis Port Washington, the Palm Beach, the Washington the Hyannis Port, the Washington,
Unknown Speaker 7:17
yes. What you’ll notice the next day, I didn’t go anywhere.
Bob Smith 7:22
In the album, a lot of people have always wondered, do you have to get permission from the principles you’re portraying? I
Earl Dowd 7:27
never do that. Because I’m always afraid. They’re gonna say let me hear it. And then they’ll not like something, the AP correspondent to use to say. Thank you, Mr. President. At the end of the press conferences, he told me that President Kennedy kept the record player in his desk drawer. And he called people into the room and he pulled out the desk drawer and he’d say, listen to this, and then he played them. So we know that he liked the album very much the first person,
Speaker 6 7:52
I take it, you never got to talk with him about the album that
Earl Dowd 7:56
now we were supposed to go to the inaugural and appear there and want me to cut some radio spots down there, saying that I listened to it. And then he gives a call. Everybody thought it was Kennedy. Because he didn’t identify himself. We didn’t know he’d done this and got songs or got little. We were cancelled out. So I never did get to meet him. And we know that Jackie didn’t like it was a little rough on her in the White House tour. She remember that?
Speaker 1 8:24
Follow me down this hall to the next room. As we go. I should like to point out the various paintings on the wall.
Speaker 8 8:33
Yes, I wish you would point them out. Well, there’s this
Unknown Speaker 8:37
one. And this one
Speaker 1 8:46
and that great big one over there. And this little teeny one down here. And finally this one over here. Thank
Unknown Speaker 8:56
you for pointing them out. What’s in this room over here?
Speaker 1 9:01
I believe we are standing in front of the president from a conference room.
Speaker 2 9:08
Oh my darling. oh my golly. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 9:14
It’s so easy to get confused. Fetch a big ass now I believe straight ahead of us. Kiss the blue. Yes, this is the blue. We decided to leave it just the way President blue had it originally.
Speaker 2 9:37
I seem to have made the wrong turn somewhere. Now I’m trying to find the bedroom. I just came out of the John Hancock bathroom where I was taking a shower in the Alexander Hamilton bathtub. And I think that happened
Speaker 1 9:50
isn’t painted. Been just working like
Speaker 2 9:56
I should like to point out that I am I am I am standing here in my shorts are dripping wet. I’ve got an important conference in 15 minutes. So I must be dressed in 10 minutes, which means I shall have to move ahead to what I bedroom with great vigor.
Speaker 8 10:18
Wasn’t that your husband? Yes, it was is a magnificent looking man. Yes.
Unknown Speaker 10:23
And we decided to leave him just the way
Marcia Smith 10:32
just the way he did you see your family watch the White House tour? Yeah, mine too. I mean, we all
Bob Smith 10:40
watched it. It was in color. And it was course Ira had a black and white TV set in color. I don’t think anybody in our family had been to the White House by that time. So you’re, you’re watching the First Lady’s the
Marcia Smith 10:51
White House. And here’s the woman talking about and I. And I remember seeing in my mom, what’s with her voice. But she did you know, she did things nobody else had done. And
Bob Smith 11:01
she really did a good job on the White House of renovating. So yeah. And she
Marcia Smith 11:06
brought history, like crazy to that place in context, too. So there are a lot of things and besides being at what appeared to be a wonderful mother to time of tragedy.
Bob Smith 11:16
Oh, yeah. And then she lost her last baby just two months before. Yeah, JFK day
Marcia Smith 11:22
when she was what? 35?
Bob Smith 11:25
It was very young. Yeah. They went through a lot as a young girl. Yes, they did. This is one of my favorites. What if the President and his wife were alone in the White House on a Saturday night with nothing to do? And then Elsa Maxwell calls, you have to realize who she was. She was the hostess with the mostess. She was a major hostess through big parties in Washington, DC. That’s what you have to know. As you listen to this. All right.
Unknown Speaker 11:52
Let’s call it for pizza.
Speaker 2 11:54
I can’t do that. I can’t call up and say this is the President of the United States end up a sausage pizza. Just tell
Speaker 1 12:01
them who you are. Just tell them to send it to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Don’t know if I can do that. Well, let’s do something. I don’t want to stay home. I’m sick and tired of staying home and staring at the same 100 walls.
Speaker 2 12:22
Hello. Oh, hello Elsa. Telstra. Maxwell Jackie. Well, if you’re having a party and you wonder if by any remote chance we happen to be free. Free. Jackie and I on a Saturday night. Or sometimes I wonder about you. Were having our own party. Can’t you hear it? Jackie laugh at you that? That ad lie. He’s just such a cutie. He always makes Jackie laugh. Just Just a minute. Yeah, sure. Thank you. I will have some more champagne and Billy Maharaja of Baroda is blush. Don’t forget the Maharani, oh alto Raya have to hang up, the Humphries and Goldwater’s are added again. Goodbye, Alto. And thanks for thinking of us.
Bob Smith 13:11
You’re listening to a special edition of the off ramp. JFKs humor remembered 60 years later. We’ll be back in just a moment. We’re back. This is Bob and Marcia Smith with the off ramp. We’re playing special recordings today from the first family album as we remember JFK. There’s a lot of focus on his assassination 60 years later, and we will do that. But we thought let’s spend time here and just remember some of the humorous things that occurred during that administration both things the President said and things that the comedian said about the President and his family. Now the next routine we have to give you a little bit of understanding of what S and H green stamps were Can you explain that to my mother
Marcia Smith 13:54
and I think every mother on this continent collected green stamps so you could get dishes and more dishes.
Bob Smith 14:03
Like you got all kinds of trinkets and stuff from the grocery store usually when you went to the grocery store or the gas station with your purchase they give you some green stamps and a little book and liked them and put them in the book and then after you had so many you could go get something
Marcia Smith 14:17
my mother would guess it well sorted my
Bob Smith 14:20
most people
Unknown Speaker 14:39
Yes, filler up
Unknown Speaker 14:40
please. Just this guy
Speaker 2 14:43
know all 70 of them in the and the motorcycles. Yes, sir. By the way, you will give a green stamps.
Earl Dowd 14:56
No, no sir, we’d
Unknown Speaker 14:57
go Forget
Unknown Speaker 14:58
it. Oh
Bob Smith 15:06
my goodness. Okay, here’s another one. This one has all these world leaders and JFK decides we’re not going to have a big dinner. We’re going to do something different. We’re going to do some carry out.
Speaker 2 15:19
All right, Alright gentlemen, let us be seated. Mr. Arden our if you will ship the next to your friend Mr. DeGale. And, Mr. Castro, if you will sit here next to your friend, Mr. Khrushchev. Now, I thought that instead of the formal food we usually serve here that we would have a typical American businessman lunch, so I’m going to send down to the delicatessen store for some sandwiches. I’ll have a peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat with a side order of coleslaw, and a hot fudge sundae, Mr. DeGale. Yes.
Speaker 7 15:55
I would like to have dove on the glass
Speaker 2 15:58
while I must. Sorry, general but we’re only having sandwiches today. Pra chicken salad on wait for the general Mr. Rush. Shank a shack
Unknown Speaker 16:07
club sandwich would be fine. Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 16:10
Would you like it? Whether your little Mayo please not to mention that name? I’m sorry, Mr. Khrushchev. Oh, you don’t have to do a special for me. I’ll have a bite of everybody else’s.
Bob Smith 16:27
Do you remember all the things that rose up as a result of his very interesting Boston accent was all these comedian started doing impersonations? And I was doing that too. I was really I was talking like at JFK. Yes. Surprise. Does that surprise you at all? Oh, my God, even at the age of 12. I was doing that. Yeah, that’s my guy. Because it’s everywhere. You’re seeing this on TV at night. You’re watching the newscast. There’s a comedy album out. And of course, Mike losses and I friend of mine, we would walk to school and do dueling JFK impressions. I wonder what it sounded like when people sitting on their porches heard these two little kids going? Yes. I think this about that. And no, I don’t think so Bob, I can’t imagine what it must have looked like to people to watch to 12 year old kids walking to school doing this. But we did. And then of course, it was in a church choir. And one day when our director had to walk out for some reason we were in the sanctuary where we were going to be singing on Sunday. So I ran up to the pulpit and flipped on the PA and I started doing a press conference as JFK to my friends there. Yes, a question from you over there, and had my friends in the choir asking me questions. And I was answering them as JFK. And it was fun. And at one point, I remember looking at the back of the room, and I saw our choir director. She was leaning in the doorway, shaking her head and laughing and I thought, Oh, good. I’m getting good attention. Yeah, so then I knew it was time to stop. So I got down and we continued on. But I was so proud of that. I got a great reaction from that. My friends thought it was funny. And you made the big mistake. The big mistake is telling my mom, I got home and I said to Mom, you don’t want to happen to choir practice tonight. And I told her and she was livid. She goes that is a house of God. Won’t you ever ever ever do that again? Do you hear me she grab you by the law. She grabbed me by the lapels and told me that and oh my god, did I read the room wrong there? You know? Yes, you did. But that’s what it was like everybody was enjoying this sense of humor. And then along come these two albums called the First Family 1962 and 1963. What is it you think that makes a good album of presidential Schumer?
Earl Dowd 18:42
What makes it successful? I think first of all that people buy record albums about politicians who they liked. It’s very difficult to sell an album about an unpopular politician, or one who’s just sort of middle of the road in popularity. I think you have to be funny. I think you have to be timely. I think you have to be tasteful. And you have to be about somebody that they care about. They
Bob Smith 19:09
made great use of press conference skits in this album where they would put the president in a situation where you’re assuming it’s a press conference and weird little questions would be wouldn’t turn out they were necessarily reporters. Oh really? Yeah.
Speaker 2 19:23
Next Next question. Yes the baby in the back row BABY JOHN
Speaker 2 19:33
Well, I believe I answered that question at dinner last night
Speaker 2 19:47
now if you if you remember here is what I said at that time. Oh, do you want your body booty? Booty what a wound. Yes, yeah. Next question. Yes,
Speaker 7 19:58
I should like to ask Good question regarding the daily bad
Unknown Speaker 20:02
identify yourself, please.
Unknown Speaker 20:03
I’m the house nurse.
Speaker 2 20:05
All right to nourish. move ahead with your question. Well, there seems
Speaker 7 20:09
to be some confusion as to the toys to be taken into the bathtub.
Speaker 2 20:13
Yes, well, let me make a judgement about that now. The following toys have been appropriated for top use 18 pt Boch three three Yogi Berra beach balls to Howdy Doody plastic bouncing clowns, a ball of lushly potty and a rubbish one. Now nine of the PT boat, two of the Yogi Berra beach balls, the Ebola surely potty belong to what Caroline? Nine of the PT boat, one of the Yogi Bear beach balls and the two Howdy Doody plastic bouncing clowns. Baby John’s the rubbish one is mind
Bob Smith 20:55
blowing Millennials Gen X, anybody who wasn’t alive at that time doesn’t know what it was like. All of this JFK stuff in the air wasn’t like presidents we have today. It wasn’t all hostile. It was a lot of fun stuff. Yeah. And it was there in the air with all these comedy routines. And the real man actually saying things that were funny. And then it all stopped. It all stopped one sudden day and it was so so shocking. To all of us that you were in school. I was in school. You were what in high school, a freshman freshman. I was a little younger than you. I’m your trophy husband. So I was in junior high school, seventh grade. And that was a really, really shocking day to Yeah, that was the end of those JFK comedy records the fastest selling LPS in history. They destroyed most of the copies they had left in warehouses and in stores, they were all withdrawn from
Marcia Smith 21:48
the market for Zanda von meters career, wasn’t it Vaughn
Bob Smith 21:50
meter, the comedian who did the voice was coming to Milwaukee. He got out of the airplane. He got in a cab and the taxi driver said, Did you hear the President’s been shot? And he said, No, I didn’t hear that joke. Tell me about Oh,
Marcia Smith 22:03
really? Oh, geez. And he heard about it wasn’t a joke. Oh, what are waiting? And that was
Bob Smith 22:09
really the end of his career? Oh, yeah. I remember I was in my science class, first period after lunch. And they came on with a announcement on the PA and they said, as many of you may know, our president was in Dallas, Texas today for a parade and he was shot and killed in a car and I was thinking, our President, does our school have a president? I remember, I did. Then I started replaying things in my mind that I heard at lunch hour, I remember seeing one of our phys ed teachers and another teacher in the hallway talking and, and he goes right in the head. And I thought one of our friends had fallen off the trampoline. That’s what I thought like, wow, there was an accident in the gym, you know. So all these things came. But I remember our science teacher after that announcement that the President had been killed. He just put his head in his hands. And then he put his head down on the desk. And it was terrible. And that just came so out of thin air didn’t know we didn’t have a lot of crime and threats to leaders before that in our lives. It
Marcia Smith 23:12
was life changing. I was a freshman. And I tattled off to the local cafe at lunchtime for a cheeseburger. And on the radio came the announcement, the President’s print shop. And then the owner, the cafe turned on the TV and we were kids and laborers all sitting there eating hamburgers. And there wasn’t a sound in that place. Just listening to the news report about what happened. And it was very scary anyway, so I go back to class. And this was my first social enlightenment. Well, then I’ll never forget it was at Rufus King High School in Milwaukee. Yeah. And our school was totally integrated. We were 50%, white 50% African American, that was just the way it was. We did everything together. And it was no big deal. But I but I walked into that gym class, and every black girl in that class was on the floor crying, and all of us white girls were standing and I walked in, I said, what happened? What happened? And they said the president, he’s been shot and killed. And I knew that already. But it didn’t occur to me that this was why they were all crying. And I went, why is it affecting them so differently? And that was when a light bulb went off. All the Civil Rights Movement thing has never occurred to me that their life was so different than mine. I just thought we were all the same had the same kind of life. But
Bob Smith 24:33
they saw that as Pope. It was He
Marcia Smith 24:35
was hope. I didn’t know it. I had no idea what they were going through until that moment. So that was the beginning of my social enlightenment. I remember
Bob Smith 24:45
also kind of dragged through that day and dragging home and my mom opened the door and I said, Did you know she goes Yeah, honey, come on in. And then we just started watching TV. And I remember the TV was on for the rest of the weekend. Yeah. And it was Is 24/7 there never had been TV at night in those days? The stations all went off the air? Oh, you mean after midnight? Yes. After midnight they didn’t stay on. Okay. And that was the first time that went 24/7. Yes, the first 24/7 It was limited. That’s the reason I wanted to get into journalism and media. I remember walking through my house with a transistor radio on my ear, looking at a newspaper while glancing up at the TV and seeing how are they covering the story.
Marcia Smith 25:25
In fact, when I got to college, and I was taking a final exam in journalism, the story I had to write from scratch was the assassination. Oh, really, they gave you just a list of bullet point facts. And then you had to sit down and write the story. And your exam was in how well you wrote that story. I
Bob Smith 25:44
went to college and went into radio TV, because I carried that interest because of that experience. And everybody listening had different experiences. And I’m sure people will be interested in sharing that with their families. No, but those are things that we remember from that time. Yes,
Marcia Smith 25:59
that was a fun walk down memory lane on the 60th anniversary. glad. I’m glad we brought the humor back on this one to remember him in another way.
Bob Smith 26:10
And of course, that Boston accent of his that’s that was the key to all of these things, too. Yeah. And he even poked fun at that. Yeah, Boston University gave him an award one time and he was there to receive it.
Speaker 6 26:21
It is a great pleasure to come back to a city
Unknown Speaker 26:27
where my accent is considered normal.
Bob Smith 26:33
We can’t forget how popular Jackie Kennedy was to I mean, her popularity eclipsed him on many of their trips.
Marcia Smith 26:39
And he had fun with that, too. Yeah,
Speaker 4 26:41
I am the man who accompanied Jacqueline Kennedy to Paris. And I’ve enjoyed
Bob Smith 26:47
Well, I think that gives people who weren’t there who weren’t alive at that time and understanding of why there was such an affinity for this person, even though he’d only been president for three years. Why it was so different and why it was really a part of our lives. We’ve all felt had been taken away from us when that happened. Yeah. And in the next segment of the off ramp, we’re going to listen to a phone call the one of the most historic phone calls you never heard, because it was done by a small southern Illinois radio station, the man who called the Dallas Police Department and got the name of the suspect Lee Harvey Oswald and spread that to the world. I work for that man, and we talk with him and listen to his amazing recording from 1963 In the next episode of the off ramp. The off ramp is produced in association with CPL radio online and the Cedarburg Public Library Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
