Anytime Mick called with stories of city folk dropping cats and dogs off out in the country so they could be “assimilated” back to Mother Nature.
Rush assured us they were assimilated by Mick, into puppy tacos and kitten stew. If Mick’s dog was barking in the background, during the call, Rush would ask Mick what the dog was saying. Mick would say, “he’s a dog, Rush, he cain’t talk”.
I seem to remember that guy was a retired executive of some sort.
This was early in the shows history.

Best,
Ted
