Clues:

Would have been on the air in Jacksonville, FL during the late 60s/early 70s.

Morning/early afternoon show.

Cheesy, blowhard male host

Two dimbulb blonde sidekicks

I _think_ it was a talk show - no one major like Merv/Mike.

A phrase I remember is “Sweetheart(s) of the now defunct western hayride”.

Any thoughts?

VCNJ~

(I know - I should consult the “Life - How to Find One” manual) 😛

Do you remember anything as to whom was broadcasting it? I’ve looked at a list of shows produced for daytime by the networks, and I haven’t found anything that matches.

As for the “western hayride” part, that would seem to be the long-running TV program Midwestern Hayride, which left the air in 1972, if that helps any.
