Joe Pyne was an early version of what would become known as Shock Jocks. He had developed his confrontational style since his early radio shows in the late 1940's. He would often start an interview with an insult to wrong foot his guests. In 1966 Zappa, along with a bunch of LA freaks and the Cherry Sisters, appeared on the show. Although the opening parry is well known (Pyne had lost a leg while serving with the US Marines during World War II) little else remains of the interview.
