Does anyone have any idea what show it was where Tom listened to excerpts from Morton Downey Jr's country album on-air?

I think it's the 12/2/08 episode. He listens to at least a song and a half around the 1:22 mark.

This episode is also important for historic purposes, in that it contains the famous "Hey, Coach!" story from a caller that would play very differently today, as well as Tom uttering the phrase "New Port Richey sounds like heaven on Earth!", triggering the laugh the would anchor the now dearly-departed Fredericks Sound Board.

I want to call both of your attentions to this post from 2011:

Please note that I wrote and performed a skit for school as Morton Downey, Jr., to a class (and fellow skit performers) who had no idea what I was talking about.
