Ha! Yes, that did happen, too.

In fact, my wife noticed his tone and made a comment about that quip.

Ah, good times around the old radio.
They've been a crotchety old bunch this year and I've loved it. Man, once they get going on the official scorekeeper, they can go on for 2-3 on just that alone.
Ah, I remember Shannon and Buck during the disastrous seasons in the 1970's. By the end of the season, their broadcasts were stand-up comedy.
Ever hear a broadcast when Jonathan Winters dropped in?

I almost wrecked my car in early August when they got off on a tangent with 60's and 70's music titles.

I have, and it was always really funny stuff. I used to love rain delays when Jack and Mike would stay on the air. Wish I'd have recorded some of those great conversations.
