"Polly Parrot is on line two..."

At least 10 years ago, I heard a radio station lose its connection to the host of a pet care program.  While the station worked to restore the feed, the host of the previous program was asked to ad-lib an interview with a veterinarian.  To his credit, he let the audience know right away, "I'm actually the host of the investment program, so if your pets need financial advice, please ask them to call in."  For about 10 minutes, I kept waiting to hear if a parrot would call in and say, "ABC Tech Startup has just started being listed on the New York Stock Exchange.  Is this a smart time to invest in them?  Awk!"  Alas, that didn't happen, and the station was able to reconnect with the scheduled host.  I remember feeling slightly disappointed.
