    RIP Gordon Lightfoot. Thank you for writing a song that gave us arguably the funniest 20 minutes of radio we ever heard.

    Caller - When did that Lightfoot song come out?
    Jimmy - I'm guessing in the mid 70s, probably after the actual accident

      I wouldn't exactly call this "talent". I enjoy them, but the humor, for me, is how stupid it is. Sounds like you're with your buddies smoking blunts and making fun of stuff. Childish humor, but for nostalgic purposes. Enjoyable, but nothing painfully creative or artistic.

    One of the best bits ever. I remember I was in freshman in college working overnight delivering newspapers to be able to go to college full-time during the day. My friend and I would drive around in my 2002 Malibu with my new XM radio and every night we would listen to the replay from that day from beginning to end. It would always time outright where we finished it right as we were headed home so we could listen to every episode every day, I even had to get a radio that could record stuff so that on the weekends when they were playing Ron and Fez or something else we could still listen to the boys. This bit was so funny I pulled over to laugh the first time I heard it. It's always going to be in my long-term memory up there with some of the classics from the early XM days, which in my opinion were the best years.
