I’d never heard that before. I laughed as hard as I have in months, through the entire segment. When Rome was like that, he was as good as anyone.
In the late 90’s, one of the Austin stations picked up a syndicated show called “The Don and Mike Show” It was two irreverent guys talking shit about anything and everything and they were often hit and miss.
They had a segment where they’d just rapid fire phone calls and people would voice their hot takes, the guys might interact, and then they’d go to the next call. I’m listening while driving one day and they flip to a call and it sounds like dead air but you can faintly hear something. One of them stops the phone guy from flipping and says “turn it up, there’s something there”. They turn it up and you can hear it clearly - cheeks clapping. That brought the house down on the show for the rest of the day. I was swerving in my car I was laughing so hard listening to their commentary from there, once they recognized the noise.
