Part 1 of 23 from Steve Dahl's on air vasectomy, March 16, 1989.

One of the many pioneering highlights of Steve's career, and one that generated a fairly large amount of publicity at the time. What is really amazing is that it was so popular that other radio people around the country did it AFTER Steve (like so many things Steve has done) when they may not have even wanted a vasectomy to start with. [The quote I remember Garry Meier saying was "if someone had their arm cut off, would you do that too?"] I know a couple of other 'DJ's' had vasectomies, as well as a station that had a live vasectomy of a listener, but I don't know how any of them could be considered valid or even interesting since Steve's was done as an insight on him for his listeners, an inside look (pun intended) on something personal. Like so much of Steve's radio career it was something new and different, as well as personal and genuine, and really rather brave considering that it was after all still a surgery. More classic trail blazing Steve Dahl comedy (and medical drama!)

Hard to believe that it's been 20 years ago! Almost 21, and yet it's still relevant, and of course hilarious.

Wow I so remember listening to this right before I got a hernia operation. I remember referring to this as I was going under and the Docs and nurses all laughed.
