Listen to the Recording
This recording preserves a humorous WMRN remote-broadcast segment featuring Charlie Evers at the Union County Fair in Marysville, Ohio.
During the segment, Evers interviews a young participant portraying “Beavis,” a character from the animated television series Beavis and Butt-Head. Evers asks the young performer about sports, school, television, personal goals, and his activities at the fair. Remaining in character, the child responds with deliberately brief and awkward answers, creating an increasingly comic exchange.
The conversation eventually turns to the child’s work at a fair concession or attraction identified in the recording as “Shelby’s Delight.” The young guest says that he sells toys, fudge rings, and “joy” before announcing that his next plan is to find a girl named Barbara.
The segment is framed by a sponsorship announcement for the McWhirter Petroleum Company. It demonstrates Charlie Evers’s ability to work with an unscripted guest, react quickly to unexpected answers, and turn an informal fairground conversation into entertaining local radio.
