I've listened to WABC and WFAN all my life, i'm 500 miles away and at night my trusty SONY AM/FM radio could pick up those stations. The thick New York accents make even intelligent callers sound like dumb guidos. But on the other hand that accent and attitude make people funnier, Stern had many regular callers who were hilarious, a couple who were so good they were hired to be on the show. Mike Francesa is a legend in sports talk radio, WFAN was the first all sports talk radio station in the world. Mike is funny, unintentionally mostly, and worse as he got older, but the best thing about Francesa were the regular callers who called in to bust Mike's balls - there's a guy on Twitter with an account dedicated to Francesa's embarrassing moments and the best funny callers.
Noory would be so easy to prank call - I tried a couple of times on sports talk shows but I'm horrible at it, I start laughing and that ruins everything and I end up looking like a 12 year old loser.
