Gave up radio?  I thought he was still doing the weather when he died in that freak accident. I can not remember if it was hang gliding, parachute or helicopter. I thought he was on the air until his abrupt death.

 I was in college out of the area when he gave up

I thought of something I won. It may not have been the best or most expensive ever, but it gave me a lot of enjoyment.  I won a WNBC Sweatshirt and 64 Dunkin Donuts from 66 WNBC and the designation of Record Pig on The Time Machine With Jay Sorensen.  I won the same thing two different times and there was a Dunkin Donuts around the corner.  I still wear the sweatshirt though this climate here does not accomodate it often.  (It was 104 yesterday and 108 here on Sunday).

Why didn't they just make it 66 Donuts?

He was only on TV, no longer on radio.

Even Jay asked that question.  Dunkin Donuts sold sixteen donuts in a pack, so that was four and I received four coupons for sixteen donuts, so I did not have to get 64 on one trip.  

I did not complain.  They could have given me a dozen and I would have been happy.

Even if I did become a Record Pig.

If I can remember the question...What label was the single of Hush by Deep Purple on?  I think Jay said that it was the same label as the Two Virgins album by John Lennon.

Didn't you get fat? I worked in the Promotions department of KR-LA, and I must have had at one point, 200 coupons for the Shakey's "Bunch o' Lunch", 100 Jack in the Box Burritos, and 250 Laps to the Malibu Grand Prix

That would be Tetragrammaton Records.

Now, for the extra point, what famous comedian was a major co-owner of that label? (Hint: it wasn't Don Rickles.)

Right on, Tiny!! Come by the studios Monday through Friday anytime between 9AM and 5PM and pick up your copy of Hot Tuna's "Burgers" courtesy of Grunt records, and a $10 gift certificate good at any Sonic Drive-In in the Tri-City Area. Smiley
