Those "Baba-Booey" incidents were often listeners. I remember 
watching the OJ Simpson arrival at the end of the "chase." Peter 
Jennings took a call from an alleged eyewitness. I believe it was Al 
Michaels who informed Jennings that the call was a crank. Jennings 
had no idea what "Baba-Booey" was all about.

At WOR we were always close to the dump button whenever a caller in 
the Stern demo was on the air. A few got through.
