"Name checks" and "shout-outs" also have to be broadcast - a "name drop" can be in private conversation.

But your example was a private conversation?

It wasn't, really - it was, in my head, in the context of your basic top-40 station morning show.

Sorry that wasn't clear.

Oh! I haven't listened to commercial radio in 20 years or more, so that went right over me. (is Bob Harper a 'name'? *is Canadian and out of the loop, too* )

I still find myself thinking there are far too many names for the way people talk. Or maybe that's the fever. ;-D *goes to bed, yo*

Bob Harper is the trainer on Biggest Loser.

I have a crush on him.
He's lean and hairy and yogic.
