That was the day Mike Francesa opened the show confirming that after 19 years Mike and the Mad Dog were going their separate ways.

Tony, Chris Russo's father, then called in to the show.

“This show will be thought of for the rest of my life, and I want to wish you the best of luck to your family and to your friends,” he told Francesa. “One thing I want to ask you: Can I call you at any time?”
