Used to love the clever, or not so clever attempts to "suffer fools gladly" you used to hear on talk radio.

Remember listening to the often deliciously awkward Jimmy Piersall segments back in the day, realize that may blow the minds of some of the defenders of modern sports talk radio, but yep they used to seek out people that would have different takes, and actually let them speak, sometimes it would create some highly entertaining content, especially if you were a long time listener and knew the inside logo.

My favorite was when Piersall would let a caller say something odd, or something he did not agree with, he would dismiss them by saying, "thanks for your call", kind of like a pat on the head for at least making an effort to formulate a thought, of course Uncle Terry, as he often did, would start using the phrase in a similar manner.

Then of course you had North, who would use the odd, "I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'", when trying to argue for arguments sake, a way of injecting a completely alternative take into a conversation.

The greatest stuff came from Kevin Matthews, still use, "Is it wrong", "get a haircut hippie", and "show's over at 2:30", from time to time.

I believe "thank you for your call" was the signal to the producer to hang up the phone. There was never any further conversation after the line.

Thought Kev's, "Is it wrong", was hilarious, wasn't it supposedly from an old actor hitting on Bears players?

Still use, "He used to breed dogs, until he found out they could do it themselves", used to be some talented and funny dudes on the radio.

Odd and Even Buses soundclip from The Honeymooners when a caller made sense.

Then of course the classic, "a-huh" from the Chetster when a guest droned on, or when he was taking a drag off his Diet Coke and missed what the guest said.
