| Who the hell are the people on this show? |
| Well, there is Pugs and Kelly. They are your hosts. Then we have Executive Producer Sybil, Technical Producer Eric, Cody the One-Man Army of Interns, and Will the Blogger. Also, you might hear our Commander-in-Chief Gavin Spittle from time to time. |
| |
| How did Pugs and Kelly meet? |
| A long time ago, in a land far, far away. Pugs and Kelly began as interns for different shows on the same FM talk station in Chicago in the early 1990's. The station was WLUP "The Loop" in Chicago, not that it means anything to anyone. Fast forward a few years, and they teamed up to do their own show on WCKG in Chicago in about 1998. |
| |
| When did they start at 105.3? |
| Pugs and Kelly began on overnights in January of 2001. In October of 2001, they were promoted to middays. |
| |
| What is the opening song of the show? |
| "El Distorto de Melodica" by Everclear. You can find it on the album"So Much for the Afterglow." |
| |
| What is the closing song of the show? |
| It's called "I'm Coming Home", and it was originally done by Mel Torme. The version the show uses was covered by band friend's of Pugs'. They used to use the original Mel Torme version, but someone broke into Pugs' car and stole it, so they use the cover version now. |
| |
| Why does their show sometimes start after 11:00? Can't they get to work on time? |
| The show is on after Howard Stern, and they start when he goes off. It's roughly around 11am. The earliest the show has ever started is 10:05am and the latest is 12:15. Your safest bet is to just leave the radio dial on 1053 and never change it...ever. |
| |
| Are you guys married? Not married? Have kids? |
| Pugs is divorced with no kids. Kelly is divorced with 2 children. Sybil has never been married, nor does she have children. Eric has never been married, nor does he have children. |
| |
| Where does everyone live? |
| North of Dallas...it worries us that you want to know... |
| |
| Why does Sybil always say "Up Yours, P&K" before the news? |
| When she first started doing news, P&K told her she needed a tagline when they introduced her for news. The conversation that followed went something like this:
Pugs: "Now here's Sybil with the news."
Sybil: "Ok...thanks."
P: "No, no, no. You should include the names. Take 2. Here's Sybil with the news."
S: "Um...thanks, Pugs & Kelly."
P: "No, you accidentally said 'um'. Redo it. Take 3. Here's Sybil with the news."
S: "Thanks, Pugs & Kelly."
P: "You need to do it with more enthusiasm. Let's try again."
Kelly: "Oh, for godsake, just say 'Up Yours, Pugs!"
And so it began...
About 7 mos. passed and one day Kelly said she felt left out, and it should be changed to "Up Yours, Pugs & Kelly"- which was eventually abbreviated to "Up Yours, P&K".
