I remember the days when WIOD 610am in Miami ran the Neil Rogers and Phil Hendrie Shows back to back in afternoon. That was some entertaining radio, especially when compared to what is on now.
Back in the Neil days I had an outside sales job and was driving from client to client listening to him, an uncle of mine was also a fan, and he told me he too called in to discuss diff topics. One day I'm driving along listening to him and I think I recognize a callers voice, I listen a little more and realize it's my uncle!!!
My uncle was a cantankerous opinionated old new Yorker and Neil was skewering him and he was getting more and more irritated and flustered and loud, finally Neil uttered some insult and hung up on him as my uncle was shouting at him and in mid sentence..I almost had to pull over I was laughing so hard
After the talk I called my uncle and told him I heard him, he still was agitated as hell, it was hilarious.
One of my favorite parts of the show was the perverted songs Neil would play, I wish I could remember some, one of my favorites was about a "perverted clown" who was "chased from town to town", anyone remember that one ? Neil pushed the envelope often and somehow got away with it..
