"Whoa, whoa. Um ..." : A classic moment in radio

I was listen to Nova 96.9 Breakfast Show this morning while I was driving into work. The boys had been talking about the book "Red Velvet", a memoir in three parts by former call girl Lisa Lou.

They had a caller who identified herself as "anonymous" who said she was a sex worker. They were having a little chat, when Merrick asked about the code of ethics when it comes to keeping secret the names of clients.

Well, she named a high profile person

They guys were lost for words and then cut to a song.

Classic!!
