the radio announcer i think you're referring to
is Dick Iuliano. He works for WINS (you give us
22minutes, we'll give you the world) but i think
his broadcasts are transmitted on the Westwood network,
which broadcasts all over the country.
Once i talked to this announcer's wife on the phone , and
explained that there might be some similiarity here. She was
kind of short with me and said 'he hears that all the time" so i
dropped the subject. someday i hope to approach the real article and
pose the question to the real mccoy, and not just his
put -upon wife though.
