On this record which runs 4 minutes, 50 seconds, Brent Gunts of WBAL conducts a telephone interview with Moe, Larry and Shemp who are at the Hippodrome in Baltimore preparing for an upcoming Easter show in April of 1950. The recording starts with Brent speaking with Isidor "Izzy" Rappaport, the show's promoter. Izzy introduces Moe who speaks about the show for a moment before turning over the phone to Larry who talks about the effectiveness of the Baltimore Police Department, especially when they ticketed his parked car the night before. They then hand the phone over to a groggy Shemp, who evidently was stirred from a nap to talk on the phone.
Larry then gets back on the line and teases the audience by saying they'll be trying something completely new at the show that he hopes the audience will like. It closes with Brent Gunt asking Larry and Moe if the other two performers in the show, singer Bill Darnell and The Montana Kid, were available, neither of whom were and with that Brent Grunt signs off.
